COLLECTION TIME HYDE PARK — Several years after its recovery, a Hyde Park historical marker has yet to be displayed. The Hyde Park Neighbor- hood Council is looking for a way to pay for having history panels, which were part of the marker, framed. The panels are currently in the possession of Cincinnati Parks. Council board member Janet Buening said Cincinnati Parks will pay for installation of the panels, but any additional expenses such as having the panels framed a particular way would be the responsibility of coun- cil. She said it will cost about $1,100 to have the panels framed. The panels were part of a historical marker installed at the corner of Erie and Ed- wards avenues in 1988 by the Greater Cincinnati Bicenten- nial Commission. Panels for specific communities were in- stalled throughout the Tris- tate. In 2010 the marker was re- moved during building reno- vations and expansion of an outdoor eating area at the Cock and Bull English Pub. The panels had been kept indoors at one point but turned were missing until they were eventually recovered in early 2011. The frame itself, though, remained missing or had been damaged. During its April meeting, council discussed several pro- jects being considered by the Hyde Park Square Business Association for funding by the Neighborhood Business Dis- trict Improvement Program. Buening asked whether fund- ing to frame the panels was an option. Project recommendations included an East Hyde Park parking study and solar-pow- ered trash compactors. A num- ber of these compactors have previously been installed in the business district. Council discussed several other potential ways to fund the marker including Neigh- borhood Support Program funding or private donations. Council also discussed po- tential locations for the mark- er. “I think it would be great for the Square,” said board mem- ber Jeff Lovelace. Buening said she would like the panels in a visible location “where people will see them.” “(I) don’t want to put them in a place where they can be lost again,” she said.

$670,000 and Fairfax$67,000 annually from anew1-percent income taxto be assessed businessesthat operate in some ofthe township’s commer-cial areas and their em-ployees.

The tax will be leviedbeginning in July in ajoint economic develop-ment zone ColumbiaTownship and Fairfaxhave created in areas onWooster Pike, on Plain-ville Road and at Ridgeand Highland avenues inthe township.

Ohio law prohibitstownships from collect-ing income taxes.

But the state allowstownships and villages orcities to create joint eco-nomicdevelopmentzonesin which villages or citiescollect incometaxes fromthe zones for the town-ships in exchange for aportion of the proceeds asnegotiated by the parties.

That’s so long as resi-dents in the townshipsvote toapprove theagree-ments.

COLUMBIA TWP— . Thetownship should beginreaping the proceedsfrom a new business-re-lated tax inAugust andof-ficials say it will be nonetoo soon.

“(Our budget’s) a littleskinny here,” ColumbiaTownship Fiscal OfficerPaul Davis said at a re-

cent meeting of the town-ship trustees.

“We do feel confidentthat we will be able to getthrough until that moneyis coming through.

“Just don’t ask (now)for a new truck or a newcar,” Davis joked to theofficials.

Columbia TownshipAdministratorMikeLem-on has estimated that thetownship will collect

The voters also agreedthat Fairfaxwould collectthe tax for the townshipand pocket 10 percent ofthe revenue – after sub-tracting collection costs –for the village’s trouble.

Columbia Townshipwill get the remaining 90percent of the post-fees,income-tax revenue.

“The (joint economic-development zone) boardof directors met in De-cember and in March toelect officers and to out-

line the steps required forimplementation of the(joint economic-develop-ment zone),” Lemon said.

“Information and reg-istration forms weremailed to businesses inthe zone during Marchand the tax administrator,Walter Raines, continuesto registercompaniesandaddress any questions re-garding the (joint eco-nomic-developmentzone) and taxation.

“The first collectionwill be in July and thetownship will be able todetermine how accurate

its revenue projectionswere,” Lemon said.

“As additional busi-nesses and jobs enter the(joint economic-develop-ment zone), revenue col-lections should increase.

“The money will beused for economic devel-opment purposes, infra-structure improvementsand services in the zoneand the township,”Lemonsaid.

For some, though, notdoing anything with thebridge is a preferred op-tion.

“I don’t see the necessi-ty of lowering the road,”said Ann Overbeck, co-owner of Overbeck Auto

Services. “It doesn’t hap-pen that often,” she saidabout accidents involvingthe bridge.

“There are alternateroutes.”

Overbecksaid it’smoreanissueofdriversnotpay-ing attention to the sig-nage indicating the bridgeclearance.

Monti Deluca, owner oftheLuxuryMotorCo., saidhe does not consider it abig issue either. “It’s not acommercialarea,”hesaid.

Deluca said he consid-ers the project an unnec-

essary expense.Both businesses are in

close proximity to thebridge.

Hernderson saidtrucks hitting the bridgehas been a “consistent”problem, though, and thatsome solution is needed.

According to the De-partment of Transporta-tion and Engineering,more than five crashes ayear have involved a vehi-cle hitting the bridge.

She said the earliestany changes would be im-plemented is 2017.

TheUCHealth projecthas faced a few chal-lenges.

Negotiations betweendeveloper Al. Neyer ofdowntown Cincinnati andhomeowners near the UCHealthsiteover thepossi-ble purchase of homes isgoing more slowly thansome had hoped.

A $6,000 HamiltonCounty impact study onthe project may be re-quiredandanunexpectedadditionalwaterline fromLucille Drive to the UCHealth site will cost thetownship nearly $90,000.

The project also hashad its victories.

Multiple reviewboards have given theirapproval to theUCHealthproject and the Ohio De-partment of Transporta-tion awarded a $250,000grant to extend Lucille

Drive to the project site.The extension alsowill

lead to a planned wood-land preserve and park.

Columbia Townshiptrustees earlier agreed toissue up to $1.5 million inrevenue bonds to financepublic infrastructurearound the UC Healthmedical office buildings.

Trustees also signedoff on a tax-incentiveagreement in which own-ers of the medical officebuildings will for up to 30years pay the township

“annual service pay-ments” in a negotiatedamount in lieu of proper-ty taxes that would other-wise have been collectedfor improvements madeon the land.

Columbia Townshipwill use the service pay-ments to pay off thebonds issued for the pro-ject.

The state is spendingnearly $1 million for ame-diator to try to determinethe fate of a major portionof the controversial East-ern Corridor transporta-tion project.

The Ohio Departmentof Transportation hashired Massachusetts-based Consensus BuildingInstitute for $886,000 to in-terview residents andleaders of Mariemont and

Newtown and others ineastern Hamilton Countyopposed to the proposedrelocation of Ohio 32.

The project is a compo-nent of a $1.4 billion, mul-tiphase project that envi-sions a new highway, railtransit, bike lanes and ex-pandedbus routes tomaketravel safer and less con-gested between Down-town and eastern Hamil-ton and western Clermontcounties. TheEasternCor-ridorhasbeenonthedraw-ing boards since the late1990s, but has received al-most no funding.

Community leaders sayit’s ridiculous to spendmoneyonamediator togetthe same answer they’vegiven the state and projectproponents for years.

“We don’t want it,” saidCurt Cosby, Newtown’smayor. “We don’t need it.The state keeps saying,‘Well, we hear you andwe’re taking that into ac-count.’ But they continueto move forward andspend money. They don’treally hear us.”

The mediator is sched-uled to conclude an initialassessment July 30, andconfidential interviewsare expected to begin inOctober. The process issupposed to bedoneby theend of the year, state offi-cials said.

“We need to have thisfully vetted out and all theissues on the table,” saidAndy Fluegemann, anODOT planning engineer.

Hamilton County Com-missioner and EasternCorridor backer Todd Por-tune said the mediationmost likely will determinewhether to stop or moveforward with the reloca-tionofOhio32.But theme-diator’s final assessmentwill have no impact on oth-er components of theEast-ern Corridor.

Portune said discus-sions between ODOT andthe communities over thehighway relocation havebecome “unhinged.”

“The public’s confi-dence in ODOT tomanagethe process around thatsegment has eroded,” Por-tune said.

Newtown opposes thehighway relocation be-cause it coulddisruptbusi-nesses and houses, poten-tially eliminating a largechunk of the village’s taxbase and harming its his-torical integrity. Marie-mont,Newtown’sneighborto thenorth, has fought thehighway proposal becauseof its potential impact on aparkthatoverlookstheLit-tle Miami River valley.

Last summer, Marie-mont landedontheNation-al Trust for Historic Pres-ervation’s annual list ofAmerica’s 11 Most Endan-geredHistoricPlaces–butODOThaspushedforwardwith planning the highwayrelocation.

A state spokesman saidmoney for the mediationwould come out of the pro-ject’s planning budget.

Ed Tuttle works in his garden in Mariemont’s South 80 acres last year. The village parkincludes trails, farmland and community gardens abutting the woods and Little Miami River.The Eastern Corridor project is slated to intersect this area.

SevenHills sophomoreGeor-gie Fovel, meantime, had a pre-dictable lack of recognitionwhen somebody sang him a fewbars of the 1966 pop tune. Butlike the title character, Fovel is“swinging down the street sofancyfree”as thescoring leaderfor the Stingers lacrosse team.

Fovel racked up 74 goals and21assists intheregularseasontonot only lead his team, but alsothe Miami Valley Conference.Teammate AndrewHead standsnext on the team and leaguescoring list with 44 goals and 53assists.

“He’s able to do it byworkinghard off the ball,” Seven Hillshead coach Nick Greiwe said.“Heworks in spacevery instinc-tively and he’s a very accurateshooter.”

Fovel’sgivennameisGeorge,but his mom has called him Ge-orgie as long as he can remem-ber and his friends have pickedup on the nickname.

TheB-Side to “GeorgyGirl” -rememberB-Sides? -wasanum-ber called “The Last Thing onMyMind.” Even though he doesit regularly, scoring is the lastthing on Fovel’s mind when heplays.

“I just follow my team-mates,” he said. “I’m just here tofinish what they’re setting up.They do all the hard work onlooseballsanddefense. I justgetthe credit.”

Greiwe likes the idea of shar-

ing credit.“Georgie is one of many,” he

said. “We are not a collection ofindividuals at Seven Hills. Weare a true team. Everybodyplays together for the good ofthe team.Georgie just has a rolethat allows him to put the ball inthe net.”

Fovel often got the ball put inagainst him as a tyke. His olderbrother, Jacob, took him out theyard from the time he couldwalk and carry a stick simulta-neously and shoot against him.Growing up in the game, Fovelhas a deep appreciation for hissport.

“I love the fast-paced styleand the uniqueness of the gameitself,” he said. “There’s some-thing different about it, how thestick really becomes an exten-sion of yourself like in almost noother sport. Maybe in surfingyou’re that close with the board,but it’s not really like anythingelse.”

Seven Hills finished the reg-ular season 14-3, winning the in-augural MVC title in the proc-ess. The Stingers begin tourna-ment playMay 23 (see sidebar).

“It’s a great feeling, especial-ly since it’s the first year theMVC officially had lacrosse,”Fovel said. “It means a lot to bethe first. We’ll always havethat.”

Fovel said his favorite sub-ject inschool ismath;he’s takinghonors Algebra II this year.

Greiwe said math makessense, but thinksFovelwill havea talent for another branch ofthe subject when the timecomes.

“If you watch the way hetakes the angleswhen he shoots,you’d think it was more trigo-nometry,” he said with achuckle.

MASON — Youth and excite-menthastakenovertheSt.Xavi-er High School tennis team.

Oftheirsevendistrictqualifi-ers (three singles players andtwo doubles teams); five wereunderclassmen, including threesophomores and a freshman.

After playingNo. 3 singles asa freshman, sophomoreAndrewNiehaus of Sharonville findshimselfheading to theDivision Istate tournament for the firsttime inhis career after reachingthe district semifinals May 22.Niehaus coasted to a 6-0, 6-1 vic-tory over Trotwood-Madison’sMario Rodgers in the openinground of district play beforebeating Beavercreek’s TrentHayden 6-4, 6-0 to clinch a stateberth. It’s a runcoachRussKingwasn’t sure was possible beforethe season.

“I toldhimin thebeginningofthe season he was going to gethis butt beat,” King said, “butthat hasn’t come. He’s won a lotof great matches. He’s stillyoung and he’s not a big kid, sohe’ll get stronger in the future.It’s been fun with him this year.He’s a tough kid.”

Niehaus has even surprisedhimself with his play.

“I’ve been beating some peo-ple I didn’t think I could beat,”the sophomore said. “Going intosome matches I thought I wasgoingto lose,but I’vewona lotofthem.”

While Niehaus is the loneBomber to reach the state tour-nament, freshman Peter Schul-teis ofMadeiramayhave shownthe most growth. King referredto him as the seventh or eighthsingles player at themidpoint ofthe season before the light bulbcame on. Schulteis entered thesectional tournament unseeded

before making a run all the wayto the finals before losing toNie-haus 6-2, 6-3. The freshmanopened the district tournamentwith a bang, earning a 7-6, 6-4victory over Centerville’s TylerSmith, one of the top players outof the Dayton sectional.

“Iwish Iknew (what changedin his game). I’d bottle it,” Kingsaid, who led the Bombers toteamstate titles from2006-2009.“All of a sudden he just went upto a high level. Every once in awhile it happens. Youwork yourwhole career looking for im-provements like that.”

While not playing in the post-season this season, look forfreshman Nick Hutchins ofHyde Park to be a force in 2015.

“He’s right there with Peter,just a little behind him rightnow,” King added. “He playsmultiple sports (golf and crosscountry), but now he’s promisedmehe’sgoingtoconcentratejust

on tennis now.”Sophomore Wagas Tanveer

of Mason finished third at sec-tionals but bowed out in theopening round of districts.

While seniors Jay ShanahanofHyde Park andMattMomperof Madeira helped the Bombersto their 48th straight GreaterCatholic League title, the dou-bles players have left the pro-gram in good hands for the nextcouple years.

With Mason and Sycamore –the top two teams in SouthwestOhio – both graduate some seri-ous talent over the next twoyears, King is ready to see hisBombers back on top.

“You never want to lookahead, not even to the nextmatch, but it’s kind of nice,” hesaid of his youth movement.“Mason’s graduating some kidsand Sycamore’s going to gradu-ate some the following year, soI’m ready to take over.”

WALNUT HILLS — If theyhanded out rings for leaguechampionships, those associ-ated with the Walnut HillsHigh School girls track andfield team would have a hand-ful.

The Lady Eagles racked upthe proverbial “one for thethumb” with their latest East-ern Cincinnati Conferencemeet championship at Ander-sonMay16. Dating back to theold Fort Ancient Valley Con-ference, Walnut Hills has wonfive straight.

“It’s something we’ve kindof come to expect,” Robinsonsaid. “The girls know that wehave to work very hard. Itdoesn’t come easy.”

A year ago, the LadyEaglesran away with the meet. Thisseason,Walnutwonby less butstill had a number of champi-ons and scorers. Robinson hadto replace several girls tograduation, includingdistanceace Maryn Lowry who nowruns at Iowa State.

In the relays, Walnut Hillstook the 4x100, 4x200 and4x400. Individually, juniorArissa Freeman doubled upwith wins in the 100 and 200meters; junior Taylor Darkswon the 400 and senior GraceO’Donnell was the 1,600 cham-pion.

“Grace O’Donnell has beenfabulous,” Robinson said.“This year she’s blossomed asa1,600 runner. She’s alsomadeattempts at the school recordin the 3,200 and has also gotpoints in the 800.”

In field events, WesternKentucky-bound Chelsea Car-penter heaved the shot 40’ 6”and thediscus134’ 5” for apairof wins.

“She’soneof thebest throw-ers in Southwest Ohio,” Robin-son said. “Having her in thosetwo events is kind of a given.”

To make up for the person-nel losses, Robinson has oftenhad girls double up and/or do

different events. The end re-sult has been more hardware.

“Whatweredoing is reallyatribute to the girls,” Robinsonsaid. “This is an entire team.Championships cannot be wonby having a dominant group ofsprinters.Youhave tohave thedistance runners, you have tohave the throwers, you have tohave the jumpers.”

Adding to Walnut’s scoringdepth have been junior dis-tance runners Kelley Cole-man, Hannah Schroeder andCollier Summay; senior Nia-maniMayes in the hurdles andlong jump; junior Keira Has-sel in throws; and sophomoreRachel Berndsen in high jumpand pole vault.

The best relay for WalnutHills is the 4x200 featuringFreeman, Darks, freshmanKahla Cornett and junior Ja-nae Trimble, a transfer fromNorthwest.

“Every week they’re run-ning season bests together,”Robinson said. “We can onlycontinue to hope they’re goingto improve.”

The district meet will bedifficult with the likes of Ma-son, Ursuline, Withrow, Lako-ta West and Princeton lurkingabout. Robinson thinks herECC champion sprinters,FreemanandDarks should ad-vance.

HYDE PARK — On May10, a long Saturday infront of the televisionwasrewarded when 23-year-old Theodore RichardBolser was summoned toour nation’s capital.

“Touchdown Ted,” In-dian Hill High SchoolClass of 2009 and recentlyof the Indiana Hoosiers,was the 217th pick of theNFL draft in the seventhround. His new employeris the Washington Red-skins, coached by formerBengals offensive coordi-nator Jay Gruden.

“It was an amazingfeeling; it’s one of a kind,”Bolser said of the NFLdraft weekend.

At 6-foot-6 and 248pounds, Bolser caught 34passes for 320 yards and

six touchdownsat Indiana lastfall.Overhisca-reer, he had 117grabs for 1,337yards and 15trips to the end-zone.

In watchingBolser, the Red-skins coach (intypical Grudenfamily style)had a creativedescription forthe player fromhis previoushometown.

“He calledme a ‘War Dad-dy’ as Iwas run-ning down covering thekick-off,” Bolser said.

Bolser actually playedat the Redskins’ stadiumduring his college careerand is hoping to snaresome passes at FedEx

Field in additionto headhuntingon kick cover-ages.

“I’m plan-ning on that,”Bolser said. “Ilove specialteams. I lovetackling. I usedto play defense.I played line-backer allthrough grow-ingup. I lovehit-ting.”

The three-year letter win-ner at IndianHill in football,basketball and

lacrosse had a stellar runback in the Kevin Sipledays. As a sophomore, hecaught 38 passes, upped itto 68 his junior season andadded 63 more his seniorseason.

He feels fortunate tobe going to a pass-happyoffense like Gruden’s.Recruited as a wide re-ceiver by Indiana, Bolserwas the proverbial “goodhands man” for the Hoo-siers.

“I’m going to go get itwherever it’s at,” Bolsersaid. “They used me forshort yardage last year. Iwas like a fourth wide re-ceiver. I caught a decentamount of balls, soaked itall in and loved every bitof it.”

Bolser was home forthe draft, having watchedit at agent Jimmy Gould’sIndianHill home.His par-ents, Toni and Tom, live inHyde Park and his grand-parents/uncles live inDel-hi Township. He’s now inWashington, masteringthe D.C. Metro and lobby-ing for someplaying time.

LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR

Let us make it simple, butvery important. Are you aDemocrat, a Republican or anAmerican?

Take some time and thinkout your answer carefully.How long has it been since youvoted in an election and care-fully picked the candidate whoyou felt was best suited for theposition regardless of politicalparty? I distinctly rememberyears ago that if I voted forone party for a top position, Ipicked the other party for thenext most important position.Was I wrong?

What I wanted was a bal-ance in all forms of govern-ment. Do we see any balance ingovernment today?

Very sadly, we do not. Theparties are actively dividingthe population for their ownbenefit.

Make this very clear - thatis for the parties’ benefit. We,the population are being usedto further the very selfish ends

of the poli-ticians!

History tellsus that whenthis happensone party be-comes domi-nant and be-comes a dicta-torship, thoughoften by anoth-er name. Re-gardless of

which side wins all of the peo-ple are subjugated into ser-vants of the ruling despots.Either they become financialslaves or the wealthy buy posi-tions to maintain their wealththrough “donations” to thedynastic rulers. To name just afew, North Korea, Venezuela,China, Cuba and Russia. Some-times the wealth is just stolenand a minority is eliminated.Sound like Nazi Germany inthe 1930s?

History also tells us thatDemocracies only last for

around 200 years before theybecome dictatorships. Ourfounders were careful to cre-ate a Republic, but with theevolution of party struggles,we can really be considered tohave become a democracywhere the parties have dividedthe public to their own uses intheir quest for unlimited pow-er.

If you doubt this, just take alook around the world andcount the number of “Democ-racies and Republics” in nameonly where you would not wantto live. Are you willing to allowgreedy politicians to turn ourfine country into one of these?If we do not take control of thepolitical process by voting forcandidates who are more in-terested in America than politi-cal party, then we are to blame.

Let me suggest a place tostart. All public officials fromelected to appointed onesshould be responsible for abudget that is both balanced

and responsive to public needs.This means that there are nopositions that are simply ap-pointed to award unneededjobs for political necessity.

Deficit budgets should re-quire a reasonable time (one ortwo years) to be brought backinto balance. This might beaccomplished by requiring atleast a 20 percent positive voteby either minority party onany budgetary item. Failure tocreate a positive cash positioncould be cause for a reductionof salaries in the voting body.An audit by an unbiased con-sulting firm should be requiredfor continuous failure withstrict punishments includingthe loss of elected or appointedpositions for inappropriatemanagement.

Perhaps these simple butdrastic conditions would cre-ate sanity in government.

May 21questionWhat’s your favorite summer

event inthearea?Whatdoyou likeabout it?

“Paddlefest, as it a uniqueway to see the city and the river,hopefully without getting runover by a barge or go-fast boat.All of the local farmers’markets.I am not necessarily a rabid pro-ponent of ‘buy local,’ but if youaregoingtobuyfreshvegetablesandbreads, etc. anyway,whynotbuy them from local small busi-ness people? The best thingabout summer in Cincy is that isis all easily accessible.”

“The annual July 4th Inde-pendence Day Fireworks offSpringdale have been great. Ihope theycanbesustainedfinan-cially as the event is good for theentire family as is the Taste ofColerain.

May14 questionWhat advice would you give to

graduating high school and col-lege seniors?

“My advice for a graduate israndomandvaried, butpricelessnonetheless:

“1. Never lie to you.“2. If it seems too hard, you

are doing something wrong.“3. Sometime in your life live

on the East Coast, but leave be-fore you become too hardened;and sometime in your life live onthe West Coast, but leave beforeyou become too soft.

“4. If you can’t fix it with ahammer, clearly it is an electri-cal problem.

“5. Always use your turn sig-nalssotheworldwillknowwhichway you are headed.”

“6. It doesn’t matter if theglass is half full or half empty,obviously the glass is twice asbig as it needs to be.”

M.J.F.

“1. Be proactive. 10 percent oflife is made up of what happensto you; 90 percent by howyou re-act.Choose toseemistakesasop-portunities to learn and knowthat with every choice comes

consequence. You are the pro-grammer.

“2. Be grateful and always tryto show appreciation to someonewho has been kind or helpful toyou. This is not only the rightthing to do, it also demonstratesthe all important self confidenceprospective employers are look-ing for.

“3. Network, network, net-work. Use your social mediaskills to your advantagewhile al-ways beingmindful that it’s like-ly that whatever you post is be-ing seen by many different setsof eyes.

“4. When you learn some-thing, have a spirit of generosityand get others involved andaware of what’s going on cur-rently vs. hiding it away in a selfprotective mode.

“5. Be an empathic listener.Too many people listen with theintent to respond vs really hear-ing what is being said. In fact goone step further and listen withthe eyes for feeling.

“6. Differentiate yourself.You are a brand, with equity. De-velop it and strategicallymarketit.”

Deaconess AssociationsFoundation has donated$65,000 to the IndependentTransportation Network ofGreater Cincinnati.

The funds will be used forIndependent TransportationNetwork of Greater Cincin-nati operations in providingtransportation for senior cit-izens over the age of 60 andvisually impaired adults.

“Reliable transportationis considered one of themostproblematic issues for sen-iors and the sight-impairedwho are striving to remainindependent,” said TonyWoods, chairman of Deacon-ess Associations Inc.

Independent Transporta-tion Network of Greater Cin-cinnati has 429members andhas provided 21,563 rideswithin the Interstate 275beltway in Cincinnati andnorthernKentucky. Sixty-sixvolunteers drive their owncars and transport memberswherever they wish to go –shopping, theater, salon andmedical appointments, aswell as to volunteer activ-ities.

The nonprofit service op-erates 24 hours a day, sevendays per week.

“Many seniors and visual-ly impaired adults do nothave the mobility to use pub-lic transportation,” saidNan-cy Schuster, IndependentTransportation Network ofGreater Cincinnati director.

Many of IndependentTransportation Network ofGreater Cincinnatimembersare former drivers who havehung up their car keys be-cause of age, vision or med-ical issues.

“The transition from thedriver’s seat to thepassengerseat is never easy – for thedriversor for their families,”said Schuster. “But it is infi-nitely easier when there is aviable transportation alter-native that keeps the olderadult in control. Our volun-teer drivers enjoy helpingothers and members appre-ciate the friendliness of theirdrivers and the opportunityto build friendships withthem over time.”

The Summit Country DaySchool rededicated a century-old French crucifix in the Im-maculateHeart ofMaryChapelduring the school’s annual Cam-pus Day celebration of the artsMay 4.

The crucifix had been takendown in 2004 for restoration.Green Township sophomoreMaddieAmend,with the help ofher parents, Kenneth and Mau-reen, raised and donated fundstocoverthecosts toreinstall thecrucifix.

AvocalistwithTheSummit’schoral group Camerata and amember of the St. Ignatius Loy-ola parish choir in MontfortHeights, Amend held a fund-raisingmusical performance atthe Glass Eye Group recordingstudio near Indianapolis. Theresulting CD of liturgical mu-

sic, called “Songs for my Fa-ther,”wereapersonalgift toherfather, Dr. Kenneth Amend, aCincinnati ophthalmologist.

Maddie was inspired to giveback to her school community,because she had received TheSummit’s Patricia and JosephH. Clasgens II SBS ’37 Scholar-ship.

During the Easter break,workers carefully constructeda scaffold over the chapel’s tow-ering white Carrara marble al-tar. The crucifix was returnedto the position where it hadhung since 1903 when it was do-nated to The Summit by Fr. Xa-vier Lasance, the school’s chap-lain from1891-1924 and a prolif-ic American Catholic writerduring the early 20th Century.The signature of renowned Pa-risian artist Raffl appears on

the platform that supports thefeet of the statuary corpus.Raffl is known for creating thestatuary at theWay of theCrossat Lourdes in France.

During the May 4 rededica-tion ceremony, Joseph H. “Jay”Clasgens II of Anderson Town-ship, a1937 graduate of SummitBoys School, was honored forendowing the scholarship thatMaddie received. One of morethan 30 named endowed schol-arships at The Summit, theClasgens scholarship is given toqualified students who possessa cheerful, positive spirit, aregood friends to others and areleaders who share their God-given talents with others.Amend is one of four studentswho have received the scholar-ship since it was established in2004.

Summit sophomore Maddie Amend joins her benefactor, Joseph H. “Jay” Clasgens II, in front of the mainaltar where a century-old crucifix was rededicated May 4. THANKS TO ROBERT A. FLISCHEL

Every property ownerwho is 65 or over or is per-manently disabled is eligi-ble for the state’s home-stead exemption. Annualtax savingsunder thispro-gram in Hamilton Countyrange from about $350 to$740. This exemption re-sults in no loss in taxes tocommunities or schools asthe reduction is made upby the state.

It is especially impor-tant this year for ownerswho turned 65 before Jan.1 and may have over-looked the program. Ifthey don’t apply by June 2they have to wait untilnext year and will be sub-ject to a new income test.

The Legislature has re-established an income testfor property owners whoturn 65 on or after Jan. 1,2014.Thosewithannual in-comes over $30,500 (notcounting Social Securitypayments) will no longerbe eligible for this pro-gram.

Are your allergieskicking in?Mine sureare, and as much work aswe have outdoors in thevegetable and herb gar-dens it’s not, as Martha

would say,“a goodthing.”

Myfriend andCincinnatiMagazinemarketingdirectorChrisOhmersaid itbest. “I’m

living from tissue totissue.” Well, I’ve got anatural home remedythat might help Chrisand others who are af-fected by seasonal al-lergies. I can tell youthis: My “potion” surehelps me get throughthese pollen-laden springdays.

Easy and effectivehoney ciderallergy drink

First thing to know:Never give honey tochildren under the age of1 year. And if you’regoing to make this drink,make it with raw localorganic honey and orga-nic raw apple cider. Thereason? For the localhoney, bees collect pollenfrom your area and thishelps builds up in yoursystem. If all goes right,you could become im-mune to the pollen inyour area.

As far as the organicapple cider goes, it’s notrefined and distilled andit is thought to block

histamine reactions. Italso contains healthyenzymes, vitamins andminerals. It can helplower your cholesteroland blood pressure aswell.

For every cup ofwarm or chilledwater,stir in:

1 generous tablespooneach local raw honey andorganic apple cider vine-gar.

Add a squeeze of lem-on for extra vitamin C ifyou want. Drink a coupletimes a day, or more ifyou’re outdoors a lot.

Recipe Hall of Fame:Tony Palazzolo’s versionof Frisch’s vegetablesoup. I can’t rememberwhich class I was teach-ing, but a student cameup and askedme if I

would publish this favor-ite recipe again. Some ofyou will recall that To-ny’s recipe, as well as myversion, are in my Reci-pe Hall of Fame.

“A result of over adozen attempts, and Ithink it is very close toFrisch’s,” Tony told meway back when. Tonyalso noted the soup isbest if allowed to rest for2-3 hours after cookingor next day. I’ve made itwith mostly broth andjust a bit of water and itis really good that way,too.

4 tablespoons vegeta-ble oil

1 cup onion, diced1/2 cup each diced:

carrots, celery1/2 cup each frozen

vegetables: peas, corn,

cut green beans, babylima beans (can usecanned baby limas)

1 can, 14.5 ounce,diced tomatoes withjuice

2 quarts beef broth1 quart water1/2 teaspoon each

thyme, garlic powder3/4 teaspoon black

pepper1 cup potato, diced1/4 cup pearl barley1/4 cup long grain riceSalt to tasteIn a large soup pot,

sauté onion, carrot, andcelery until onion is softbut not browned, about10 minutes. Add rest ofingredients except pota-to, rice and barley. Bringto boil and lower to sim-mer partially coveredfor 30-45 minutes.

Add potato, rice andbarley, bring back to boil,lower to simmer partial-ly covered for another 30minutes or until potato,rice and barley are done.Add salt and pepper.

Readers want toknow: Are lilacs edible?

Yes, as long as they’re“clean” not sprayed, etc.They taste as good asthey smell. Right nowI’m gathering some tocrystallize with eggwhite and sugar. I’ll letyou know how they turnout.
