DELHI TWP. — The Delhi Pikeof the future could boast a vi-brant economy and civic life, adiverse mix of land uses and re-tail, aesthetic walkable streetsand traditional charm appeal-ing to the township’s cultureand history.

Township leaders are mak-ing progress on their commit-ment to revitalize the communi-ty’s main business corridor, andthose are some of the character-istics envisioned for Delhi Pike.

Township AdministratorPete Landrum and Communityand Economic DevelopmentManager Catherine Feerickoutlined Delhi’s Strategic Rede-velopment Plan in a presenta-tion at the board of trusteesmeeting March 25.

“It’s a new day in Delhi, a newbeginning,” Landrum said.“This is a whole new plan forlooking at Delhi Pike.”

The trustees approved a re-development process last fallwith the goal to create a target-ed, market-driven land-use planfor the township’s economiccore and to evaluate feasible re-development options for priori-ty sites based on market condi-

tions and financial analysis.Landrum said the township

identified a redevelopment dis-trict encompassing Delhi Pikeand the surrounding neighbor-hoods, and has hired urban plan-ning firm Stantec, which hasperformed more than 250 com-prehensive plans for communi-ties of all sizes, to help the town-ship carry out its redevelop-ment plan.

“This plan is going to be im-portant,” he said. “This isn’t aplan to sit on a shelf and look atand say, ‘Isn’t that pretty?’We’re going to implement thisplan.”

Upcoming stages of the rede-velopment process include cre-ating a new land-use plan andadjusting the township’s zoningresolution to encourage favor-able development and limit un-favorable development alongDelhi Pike. Landrum said thetownship will identify whattypes of developments are bestfor certain properties in thebusiness district, and the planwill include a mix of retail, of-fice and living spaces.

“We’ll now have the tools inour hands to implement strate-gies that will take us out of the

Feerick said the planwill examine what kind ofdevelopment makessense and whether it willbe viable over the longterm.

“We’re grounded infeasibility,” she said. “Wecan smartly target appro-priate developments thatwill enhance our commu-nity and lead to future in-vestments.”

Trustee Cheryl Sievesaid economic develop-ment is no longer a wishor a want.

“It’s a matter of surviv-al and it’s a matter ofkeeping the townshipwhere we want to be andwhere we want others to

come,” she said, notingshe’s pleased the processhas an action plan. “Thiscontains next step, nextstep, next step, and thebig piece of it is that it re-quires we all come togeth-er and listen and learnand have our opinionsheard on where we wantour community to go.”

Trustee President WillOswall said it’s time forchange.

“We can’t sit back anddo nothing anymore,” hesaid. “If we do, we’re justgoing to get more vacan-cies and we’re going tolose more business andproperty values are goingto go down.”

He said economic de-velopment will generaterevenue for the townshipand help increase proper-ty values.

With a strategic plan,he said the township will

be able to dictate andstructure the develop-ments the communitywants to see, avoiding ahodgepodge of business-es moving in and out.

Creating a plan for theredevelopment districtwill take about sevenmonths, and Landrumsaid the township is plan-ning an event to explainthe process to residentsand business owners andgather their input.

He said Stantec andtheir project partnerswill also conduct inter-views with local marketexperts and other stake-holders to gain their per-spective.

Ultimately, he said thetownship will have a com-prehensive plan to pre-sent to developers andsell Delhi as a great com-munity in which to live,work and do business.

GREEN TWP. — The pre-natal clinic at MercyHealth – West Hospital isgrowing its program tomeet increased demand.

The clinic has regis-tered more than 120 pa-tients and delivered 56babies since opening inJanuary 2014.

“We want to ensuremoms and their babiesare healthy,” DeborahKnapp, labor and deliv-ery RN and MercyHealth – West HospitalPrenatal Clinic RN, saidin a press release.

“We help our patientsget their prenatal vita-mins and find a pediatri-cian, if they don’t alreadyhave one.

“We take themthrough all they are like-ly to experience from thetime they find out abouttheir pregnancy to thefirst year of the baby’slife and offer them pre-natal lab work, ultra-sounds, diabetes, medi-cation and nutrition edu-cation and quit smokinghelp right in our clinic.We can also help themwith affordable birthingclasses, breast pumpsand baby’s first vac-cines,” she said.

The clinic is expand-ing its hours and will of-fer office visits from 8a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays byJune 1. It will continue tohave office visits from 1p.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednes-days.

The clinic nurse isavailable to providenurse visits on other daysby appointment.

At the start of the year,the clinic began provid-ing patient and familycentered care, which in-cludes the patient andher family in the patient’scare and education.

The clinic offers pre-natal education over thecourse of three classes ingroup visits, either at theclinic or a location conve-nient for patients.

Once patients com-plete all three classes,they receive a gift for thebaby.

The clinic intends tooffer group physicianvisits as well, allowinggroups of five to eightpregnant women to learnfrom each other duringgroup visits with theirdoctor and form a supportnetwork.

“Healthy pregnancieslead to healthy births, andregular prenatal care isone way to ensure thehealth of the mother andher baby,” Mercy HealthWest Market Leader andPresident Michael Ste-phens said.

“Sometimes, regularmedical care is out of anexpectant mom’s reachand we’re here to ensureshe and her baby get thecare they need to makethe best start in life. If amom can’t come to see us,we’ll come to her to en-sure she receives the edu-cation she needs so sheand baby can have thebest start in their new lifetogether.”

Like Mercy Health’sprenatal clinics in Ander-son Township and Fair-field, this clinic helps un-insured and under-in-sured women receive vi-tal prenatal care.

The prenatal clinic atWest Hospital providescomprehensive materni-ty care to uninsured andunder-insured patients onthe West Side. The clinicsees women from thestart of their pregnancythrough to their follow-upvisit after delivery.

The clinic’s experi-enced staff connectswomen with social ser-vices and financial re-sources and helps themfind medical insuranceprograms that work forthem.

New patients can call215-9122 to make an ap-pointment or ask ques-tions.

You’ve heard the old saying“one person’s misfortune isanother person’s blessing.”

That happenedto us this weekwhen our neigh-bor Bobby, wholives down theroad, called andsaid he had alarge ash treethat had died. Afamiliar story inour area. Frank,Bobby and ourboys made quickwork of the tree.

We’ll be glad next winter thatwe took the time in the springto get it cut and stacked.

Food is like that, too. Rightnow we’re marking rows in thegarden for produce we’ll plantnow and harvest in fall. Andthere’s a renaissance of sortsgoing on with canning andpreserving. All part of theawareness of eating healthyand controlling what’s in thefood we eat. So as we go intowarmer weather, this columnwill be a good resource foreasy home canned goods, likejellies, jams, salsas, vinegars,etc. If you have a favorite,share and I’ll publish it.

Healthy, tasty reasons to gonuts with spring recipes

Rita HeikenfeldRITA’S KITCHEN

Easy candied nuts

Spring is the time to take pantry inventory. I was doing just that when I ran across ajar of pecans that were near the expiration date. I tossed some in a nonstick skillet andmade a batch of candied pecans for our salad. They turned out so nice that I wanted togive you the recipe, too.

3 tablespoons packed light or dark brown sugar - I used light1 tablespoon water1 teaspoon vanilla1/4 teaspoon salt2 cups pecan halves

Mix together sugar, water, vanilla, and salt. It will look grainy. Set aside.Toast pecans in dry skillet for several minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burn-

ing. They’re done when they give off a nice aroma. Drizzle sugar mixture on top, stirringas you drizzle. Keep stirring until nuts are all coated. This takes about a minute. Immedi-ately spread nuts on sprayed pan in single layer to cool. They’ll look sticky but coating willharden and nuts can be broken apart after they cool completely. Store in airtight contain-er at room temperature.

Tip: A wonderful appetizer or ice cream topping, as well.

Chicken and black bean enchiladas

One of my students told me her daughterenjoys reading my recipes. “You have a new gener-ation of readers”, she said. That made me feelpretty good as that’s been my goal all along, toget everyone cooking together. Since her daughterlikes Mexican foods, here’s one of our favorites forher to try.

1-1/4 pounds chicken tenderloins, thinly sliced4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (leave

drippings in skillet)2 teaspoons minced garlic or more to taste24 oz. Picante sauce16 oz. black beans, drained, rinsed and

drained1 red or green bell pepper, diced1 generous teaspoon cumin or more to taste -

I usually add moreSalt to taste1 generous cup thinly sliced green onions,

both white and green parts12 flour tortillas, 6-inch size16 oz. Mexican cheese blend, shredded

Garnish: Tomato, sour cream, shredded ice-berg, guacamole, or diced avocado, more Picantesauce or salsa, shredded cheese.

Cook chicken and garlic until chicken iscooked. Stir in 1/2 cup Picante sauce, beans, bellpepper, cumin and salt. Simmer until thickened,stirring occasionally. Stir in green onions andbacon. Taste and add more Picante sauce, cumin,etc. if desired.

Spoon about 1/4 cup down center of eachtortilla and sprinkle on a heaping 2 tablespoonscheese. Roll up and place seam side down in asprayed 9x13 casserole.

Pour rest of Picante sauce over enchiladasand sprinkle with rest of cheese. Tent with foil andbake in preheated 350 degree oven until hotthroughout, about 30 minutes or so.

Serve topped with garnishes.Tip: Add a cup or so of frozen shoe peg corn

with the beans.

A8 • DELHI PRESS • APRIL 8, 2015

In February, the unemploy-ment rate in the U.S. droppedto 5.5 percent. That’s goodnews, and let’s hope unemploy-ment keeps improving in thefuture.

The bad news is that theunemployment number doesn’ttake into account the hugenumber of people who havebeen so discouraged in theirjob hunt that they’ve stoppedlooking. It counts people whoare working part-time just asmuch as if they were workingfull-time. People who are un-der-employed – let’s say theyhave a master’s degree, can’tfind anything in their field, andare flipping burgers at a fastfood outlet (it happens) – arecounted as if they were fullyemployed.

So the unemployment num-

ber doesn’tnecessarilytell the wholestory.

Fortunate-ly, there arenumeroussteps we cantake to helpgrow jobs intoday’s econo-my. Because70 percent of

new jobs in this country arecreated by small businesses,they should be the focus of ourefforts. As chairman of theHouse Small Business Commit-tee, I think there are four areaswhere improvement couldmean considerable job growth.

First, government regula-tions. Congress and the federalbureaucracy are constantly

bombarding small businesseswith new rules, regulations,and red tape. Rather than fo-cus attention on what it is theydo, small business ownersspend too much time fightingoff the government. We shouldstop overregulating.

Second, taxes are too high,and too complicated. If I wereking, I would do one of twothings relative to taxes. I’deither throw out our existingfederal tax code, and replace itwith a flat tax, or at least aflatter, simpler tax code.

Or I’d get rid of the IRS andfederal income taxes altogeth-er, and replace them with anational sales tax.

However, I’m not king, sothe likelihood of either happen-ing anytime in the near futureis pretty slim.

So what should we do rela-tive to taxes? Reform the taxcode; simplify it; broaden thebase and lower the rates. Con-gress should announce anychanges in tax laws earlyenough for small businessesand individuals to plan ahead;not do things at the last minute,as usually occurs.

Third, improve access tocapital. In order to expand,purchase new equipment, orsometimes even meet payroll,small businesses often have toborrow money.

Getting a loan through theSmall Business Administrationcan be a paperwork-heavynightmare. Passage of legisla-tion known as Dodd-Frankduring the first term of theObama presidency (whenDemocrats controlled Con-

gress) has added additionallayers of bureaucracy to thelending process in this country.Dodd-Frank should be re-pealed, and the SBA lendingprograms should be stream-lined.

Fourth, improve trade op-portunities for American smallbusinesses. 96 percent of con-sumers around the globe re-side outside the borders of theUnited States. Yet only 1 per-cent of small businesses selltheir goods or services abroad.Even a slight improvement inthis area could result in hugenumbers of American jobsbeing created.

So we’ve got our work cutout for us. Let’s get started.

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.

The famous entertainer,Andy Williams, oncelived on the West Sideof Cincinnati.

Born in Wall Lake IowaDec. 3, 1927, he and his threeolder brothers, sang in theirhometown Presbyterianchurch choir where their fa-ther was choir director. Whenhe was 8, the Williams Broth-ers Quartet was formed andhis singing career began.

When Wil-liams was 14,they moved to3448 AltaVista in Chev-iot. He attend-ed WesternHills HighSchool for theninth- and10th-grades,where heparticipatedin many

school productions. It waswartime and The WilliamsBrothers crooning style foundwidespread popularity makingthem a hit on WLW radio.

Upon moving here, localbusinesses gave them a “wel-come” basket filled with good-ies, including beer. A teatotal-ing family, it took them sometime to develop a fondness forbeer, and Andy’s father pouredthat gift right down the drain.However, in barely a year,they grew to love their beer –especially young Andy.

In the summers, he hungout at Philipps Swim Club, stilla popular West Side destina-tion today. There were memo-ries of fall hayrides, Christ-mases at Fountain Square andoutings to Coney Island.

In 2000, Larry Nager in-terviewed Andy for the Cin-cinnati Enquirer. Andy remi-nisced about West Hi, saying“They were the best years ofmy life. There were fraterni-ties and sororities in highschool. We had a handshakeand a clubhouse. And footballwas great and the girls weregreat, and I was discoveringboth.”

With the girls, his radiocareer was a definite asset.

“No, it didn’t hurt at all,” hechuckled. In ninth-grade, hedated a senior girl, “Well, Iwas old for my age, I wasmature, I was horny,” he

laughed.Kay Thompson, head of the

vocal department at MGM,hired the Williams Brothers tosing on MGM film sound-tracks. This lead to the forma-tion of Kay Thompson and theWilliams Brothers, who debut-ed in Las Vegas in 1947. An

overnight sensation, theybecame the highest paid night-club act in the world. In hismemoirs, Andy tells of hiscomplicated relationship withKay. She was his mentor,friend and lover even thoughshe was 19 years his senior.

1n 1952, now a solo act, he

made appearances on “TheTonight Show,” with host,Steve Allen. His recording of“Canadian Sunset” made No 1on the hit parade in 1957 andhe had top selling albums suchas “Moon River” and “Days ofWine And Roses.” In 1952 hisweekly variety show, “TheAndy Williams Show,” cement-ed his popularity and incred-ible success. Though therewere top name performerssuch as Judy Garland andPeggy Lee, the show is bestremembered for the annualChristmas specials and fordiscovering another musicalfamily, The Osmond Brothers.

Williams built the AndyWilliams Moon River Theaterin Branson, Missouri, wherehe performed preformed untilshortly before his death at age84 of bladder cancer.

Elder High School has creat-ed and sustained a dominantvolleyball program. The Pan-thers are the defending Divi-sion I state champions afterbeating St. Xavier in the statechampionship last season.

Since 2007, Elder hasreached the state title match(and won three times) in all buttwo seasons. Elder has won fivestate championships in schoolhistory.

This year, the Panthers havea wealth of size and experiencethat will likely translate into an-other postseason run. Threestarters return in seniors BenLuebbe, Will Neiheisel and KyleAckerman. Luebbe, a 6-foot-5middle hitter, has really devel-oped and should be a force in theregion, coach Sean Tierneysaid. Neiheisel’s 6-foot-3 andwas primarily a backcourt de-fender last season, but Tierneysaid he should take on a more of-fensive role this year. Acker-man’s the anchor of Elder’s de-fense as the libero.

Senior Kevin Siemer, a 6-3setter who can also play in thefrontcourt and stands out as ablocker, earned some playingtime last season, but this yearhe’s the primary setter and he’llhelp out in a variety of ways.Some newcomers that will stepinto important roles are seniorMatthew Olthaus, junior JakeLuebbe and Zach Korte.

“We’re a very deep teamfrom top to bottom,” Tierneysaid. “It’s a very competitiveatmosphere in practice. It’sgreat when you can create thatatmosphere.”

The Panthers are deep andtalented, but also aggressive.

“I like our overall aggressivenature; we’re bringing a lot ofpower to the court offensivelyand through the serving line,”said Tierney. “If we can balancethat with consistency I thinkwe’re gonna be a difficult teamto handle.”

Elder’s off to a 4-0 this seasonwith wins over Walsh Jesuit,Louisville Trinity, Louisville St.Xavier and McNicholas.

Tierney’s happy with thestart but he would like to see hissquad develop more of the men-tal aspect and trust in one anoth-er.

Last season, Oak Hills ac-complished something no otherteam in school history had man-aged – a trip to the regional fi-nals. The Highlanders lost to St.Xavier, the eventual state run-ner-up, in the regional final, butthat success has bred confi-dence and a fervent desire to

make another run. Tenth-yearcoach Chris Morman said histeam is at work replacing threeimportant seniors who graduat-ed last spring.

Oak Hills returns three start-ers in senior outside hitter TimLaib, senior middle hitter Eric

Schneider and junior middlehitter Robbie Ramsey. Laib wasa first-team selection in theGreater Miami Conference lastseason, and he led the entireGMC in kills (327).

“I like that we have a goodnucleus back,” Morman said.

“It’s exciting we got so far lastyear and I know the guys arehungry to get back there.”

Also playing key roles thisyear will be junior Owen Appia-rius, who played last year in avariety of roles, and joining himwill be senior setter Alec Krum-

men, sophomore Alex Andersonand junior libero Anthony Pa-pathanas.

Morman said it’s excitingthat the Highlanders have a fairamount of sophomores and ju-niors contributing this season,and a good-sized freshman classin the pipeline.

Having to play the GCLSouth is both a blessing and acurse every year. On one hand,Oak Hills gets a realistic view ofthe top competition, on the oth-er hand, they have to find a wayto win.

“We have the unfortunatecurse of being in the region withthe GCL South powerhouses,”Morman said. “It’s probably thestrongest region in the state ev-ery year.”

Oak Hills has some mo-mentum coming off lastseason. The Highlandersfinished 8-7 overall – thefirst winning season since2006, said second-yearcoach Jeremy Miller.

There are five return-ing players, and four ofthem were starters a yearago. Oak Hills is young thisyear, with just two seniorsin Zach Thomas and JoshSchoonover.

Miller said that Schoo-nover’s a “grinder thatgets to every ball possibleand never gives up,” andThomas is primarily a dou-ble player who’s very goodat the net.

Returning at the top ofthe singles rotation is ju-nior Chase Pearson who

played second singles lastyear. Miller said Pearson’sworking his way backfrom a shoulder injury andhe’s starting to feel hisgame coming back.

Miller also said the ro-tation will “mix around” a

lot this year, but expect ju-nior returning starter Na-than Hill in doubles thisyear. Junior Daniel Cir-kovic‘s game is highlight-ed by a “massive” serveand a nice forehand, saidMiller. Stepping up thisyear will be junior JacobGraff in doubles and for-eign exchange student Al-varo Farres, from Spain.

“Our guys are very sim-ilar in skill, so it’s nice tojuggle around,” Millersaid. “We’re still trying tofind our strengths rightnow. It’s a fun team to bearound, they’re hilariousand they work hard everyday.”

The Highlanders’schedule is tougher thisyear and they’re looking tobecome more patient es-pecially in long rallies.

The goal is always samefor the Elder High Schooltennis program – to im-prove. The Panthers arecoming off a season inwhich they tied for secondin the Greater CatholicLeague South with Moell-er. Elder will also have tofind a way to replace LukeGroene, who is playing incollege at Transylvania.

The Panthers have fourreturning starters in sen-iors Drew Lovell and NickRolfes and juniors BryceWauligman and AntonioDilonardo. Lovell playedthird singles last year andhe’ll likely be at first sin-gles this year. Waulig-man’s a three-year varsitystarter who played firstdoubles last season (won17 matches) and hasmoved into the second sin-gles role. Rolfes is a two-year varsity player resum-ing his spot on first dou-bles, where Elder coachGlenn Wauligman sayshe’ll be solid. Dilonardowas a second doubles play-er last year where he had18 wins; this year he’s fill-ing the third singles spot.

“It’s definitely chal-lenging, we have a lot ofdoubles players movingup into singles positions,”Glenn Wauligman said.“(Drew) has some bigshoes to fill in terms of theguys we play, that first sin-gles spot is tough.”

Elder won the Best ofthe West tournament onMarch 28, defeating Cole-rain in the finals.

Elder should have a de-pendable doubles depart-ment this season. “We’rereally good at doubles;they’re good, strong play-

ers (in first and seconddoubles),” Wauligmansaid. “With our doubles be-ing strong, we just need awin out of singles and we’lldo real good.”

Stepping up in doublesare seniors Nick Meadeand Alex Hoffman as wellas junior Joe Meade.

La Salle Lancers havefive returning starters ledby coach Mike Holman,who’s in his 15th seasonwith the Lancers.

Senior Eric Blessingwill be in the first singlesspot. Holman said lastyear was Blessing’s firstyear playing and he pickedit up pretty quickly, mov-ing up to first singles lastyear. Senior Eric Ruhe willplay second singles. Hol-man said he could help outin doubles as needed.Sophomore David Orthwill fill third singles butcould also be used in dou-bles.

The other returningstarters are seniors Na-than Barry and Matt Bum-pus, both doubles players.

“The good thing is withthe experience you don’tnecessarily have to teachthem what it means towin,” Holman said. “Theyhave that understandingof what a tough matchlooks like and how to per-severe in those situations;that’s where I think the ex-perience will help themost.”

Also helping out in thedoubles department willbe senior John Muth, andjuniors Jeff Bogenschutzand Jake Lawson.

The Lancers started theseason with a 3-2 win overCHCA, then lost to Tala-wanda on March 31.

the goal of reaching theregional final. Now,they’d like to get backthere and take it a stepfurther.

Last year, Wes Post,now in his second seasonas the head volleyballcoach at La Salle HighSchool, was busy re-haul-ing the Lancers program.According to Post, it washis job to bring structureto a program lacking.

Now, he feels likethey’re moving in theright direction. Duringlast season’s overhaul, theLancers were still com-petitive but only came

away with seven wins.Post has three returningstarters from that team,and just two seniors thisyear.

Returning as startersare senior William Frey, atwo-year varsity playerand a defensive specialist,and junior libero Joe Wal-den and sophomore out-side hitter Will Goldsch-midt.

“The good thing iswe’re extremely young,”said Post. “We have fivesophomores that play apretty dominant role onour team.”

Some of those sopho-mores are Hayden Wood,Jake Kroger and Alex Wil-liams.

The Lancers will belooking up at most oppo-

nents. They’re not the big-gest team. Post said hisbiggest guy is junior An-thony Martini (6-foot-3)who’s a middle blocker inhis second season playing.

“We are not the biggestteam, so we have to play acompletely differentgame than the big guysplays,” Post said. “It’s gon-na be amazing to watchthem as the season pro-gresses. I don’t know ifwe’ll beat (Elder, St. X andMoeller) but they willfight and I think we canscare some people.”

La Salle started theseason 4-1 with fourstraight wins over Syca-more, Monroe, Milfordand Middletown beforelosing to Fairfield.

SIDELINES

WESTERN HILLS — One morn-ing every year, for the last 27years, the West Side of Cincin-nati has been celebrating itslove of sports with breakfast.The annual West Side SportsBreakfast has a greater mis-sion than simply celebratingathletics or early-morning del-icacies — the money raisedgoes entirely to the Boys Scoutsof America, specifically theWilliam Henry Harrison Dis-trict.

This year, on April 15 at Re-ceptions on Westbourne, thebreakfast will feature Cincin-nati Reds Chief Operating Offi-cer Phil Castellini as guestspeaker and St. Xavier gradu-ate and former NFL playerRocky Boiman will host.

Local attorney Andy Pattoncreated the breakfast as a wayto help support not only the BoyScouts but the community.When Mike LaRosa, the CEO of

LaRosa’s, was approached 27years ago with the idea, he waseager for the opportunity tohelp “develop young leaders”through Scouting. LaRosa saidthe first breakfast was held inthe wine cellar at its restauranton Boudinot Avenue.

“At the end of the day, we’redeveloping young men to be-come leaders,” said LaRosa,who organized and heads up a

volunteer committee whichmeets once a month to handlethe planning of the breakfast. “Idon’t mind spending time doingthis sort of thing — I know theeffectiveness Scouting has onthe community and young men.As an employer, (Boy Scouts)stand out in the crowd. They’recream-of-the-crop individualswho like responsibility and tak-ing on a leadership role.”

David Evans, a Dan BeardCouncil district executive, saidpart of what makes this a greatevent is creating a connectionbetween business and commu-nity leaders that share an inter-est in sports as well as supportlocal scouting.

The funds raised directlybenefit more than 2,300 youthin the scouting program who re-side in just the West Side, saidTravis McCormick, a formerEagle Scout and now a DanBeard Council district directorwho graduated from HarrisonHigh School.

“What we do is to help kids.

The mission of the Boy Scoutsis to make the moral and ethicalchoices,” McCormick said.“The sports breakfast is reallyneat because so many of thosekey elements we teach in scout-ing, they also teach in sports.”

These days, McCormick saidthe boy scouts are as importantas they’ve ever been. Kidsspend their days indoors star-ing motionless at screens, whenas Scouts they’re outside build-ing communication skills, andchallenging themselves physi-cally and mentally.

“As long as I’m able, I’m go-ing to be on the sidelines sup-porting this,” said LaRosa. “Ithink it provides a layer ofhope. Sometimes we’re ex-posed to the bad news...at theevent, you see these young peo-ple and you look into their eyes,and you realize there is hope inthe world.”

Although many con-sumers don’t do it, it’smore important thanever to have a used vehi-cle checked out by acertified mechanic andlook for safety defectsprior to a purchase.

You see, while it isillegal to sell a new carwith an unrepaired safe-ty recall, there is nofederal law prohibitingthe sale of used cars withunrepaired safety de-fects.

You may recall tens ofmillions of cars wererecalled for safety de-fects in just the pastyear. Defects range fromexploding airbags todangerously defectiveignition switches. Yet,many of those vehiclesare being offered for sale

right noweventhough therepairshave notbeenmade. Infact, about25 percentof carowners donot gettheir vehi-

cles repaired within 18months of a safety recall,according to the NationalHighway Traffic SafetyAdministration.

Carfax, which sellsvehicle history reports,estimates about 36 mil-lion registered cars andtrucks have outstandingsafety recalls. In somecases, Consumer Actionreports, parts needed to

repair a defect are inshort supply leavingpotentially dangerousvehicles on the road.Sometimes recall noticesdon’t reach owners be-cause they have movedor the owners don’t getthe repairs done becausethey may not feel therecalls are very impor-tant.

While manufacturersare required to notifyconsumers of safetydefects and performrepairs, they only pay forthose repairs for 10years. Unrepaired vehi-cles not only put thedriver and passengers atrisk but others on theroad as well.

Those looking to buy aused vehicle should alsocheck the government’s

website, SaferCar.gov.There, consumers canlook up a car’s vehicleidentification number tosee if there’s an unre-paired recall.

No matter where youshop to buy a used car,you still need to get thatvehicle’s VIN numberchecked with the nation-al database to see ifthere’s an open recall onthe particular vehicleyou are looking to buy.

Incidentally, all themajor car rental compa-nies have now pledged tostop renting or sellingunrepaired recalled carsto consumers.
