A 36-unit affordable hous-ing development for adultsand families with disabilitiesshould be resident-readysoon, and officials say ten-ants could be moving in by theend of July.

The Cincinnati Metropoli-tan Housing Authority builtCary Crossing, designed to beaccessible to a populationacross a spectrum of disabil-ities, and CMHA officials sayit is the first housing commu-nity of its kind in HamiltonCounty.

Built on the former site ofDuvall Elementary School,all units will be compliantwith Uniform Federal Acces-sibility Standards and pro-vide supportive services. Fu-ture development on the sitewill also include a commer-cial initiative to create jobtraining and employment op-portunities for individualswith disabilities. All 36 unitswill be accessible for personswith mobility, hearing andsight disabilities.

Cary Crossing was devel-oped in partnership with thecity of Mount Healthy afteran assessment of the resi-dents’ needs. The $7.5 millioncommunity will offer 36 one-and two-bedroom apart-ments, as well as a communi-ty building that houses an ac-tivity center, conferenceroom and property manage-ment office.

The site at 1411 ComptonRoad was selected for itsproximity to public transpor-tation and community ser-vices. There are a number ofbus stops within a half-mile ofthe site, including one adja-cent on the corner of Comp-ton Road and Seward Avenue.The site is adjacent to theplanned Healthcare Connec-tions medical facility provid-ing medical and dental ser-vices to individuals with lowincomes.

A 2012 housing study com-missioned by CMHA demon-strated the need for afford-able accessible housing in thecounty. The study cited thelack of accessible housing toserve the low income popula-tion due to the age of proper-ties in the area.

Duvall Elementary Schoolwas demolished in 2010 andthe property was transferredfrom the Mount HealthyBoard of Education to the cityof Mt. Healthy. The originaleight-acre parcel has been di-vided into multiple parcels.CMHA acquired about 5.59acres of the property fromthe city for the development.The remaining parcel hasbeen purchased and will bedeveloped by HealthcareConnections to provide lowcost medical and dental care.

Cary Crossing has 10 build-ings: nine walk-up, garden-style buildings house 36 rent-al units, and a community

Officials in two local town-ships say a new garbage pickupcontract is saving most resi-dents money and it’s also boost-ing recycling numbers.

Colerain, Springfield andRoss townships began a con-tract with Rumpke to pick upresidential garbage in the com-munities in April.

Colerain Township saw an al-most 197 percent jump from theprevious April. In April 2015,Colerain Township residents re-cycled 87.66 tons of material. InApril, 2016, Colerain Townshipresidents recycled 260.12 tonsof material. The trend con-tinued in May, when ColerainTownship resident recycling in-creased 205 percent over theMay 2015 numbers.

In 2015, Colerain Township’srecycling rate was 4.71 percentand residents recycled 982.97tons of material for the year.

Recycling increases are alsooccurring in Springfield Town-ship, which had a 127 percentjump in recycling in April.Springfield Township residentsrecycled 73.48 tons of materialin 2015. In May, there was al-most a 194 percent increaseover 2015 tonnage, with 197.89tons recycled in 2016.

In 2015, Springfield Town-ship’s recycling rate was 8.18percent and residents recycled954.83 tons of material. RossTownship is also seeing recy-cling increases, with 195 per-cent increase over 2015 num-bers in April, and a 258 percentincrease in May.

Michelle Balz, assistant solidwaste manager for the Hamil-ton County Recycling and SolidWaste District, which is a divi-sion of the Department of Envi-ronmental Services, says it’s abig deal to see these increases intwo of the county’s larger town-ships.

“First of all, we see those en-vironmental resources recy-cled back into the economy,”she said. “So we don’t have touse virgin resources. It also re-duces the energy used and pol-lution caused by processingthose virgin resources.

Balz says the increase in re-cycling also has a direct finan-cial benefit to the townships, asthe Residential Recycling In-centive grants given to the com-munities each year is based onhow much material the commu-nity recycles.

building houses an activ-ity space and conferenceroom for the residentsand entire community, aswell as an office for theleasing team. There willalso be a small shed tohouse maintenanceequipment for the proper-ty.

Online applicationswere accepted for the de-velopment last month,and the wait-list is al-ready closed. CMHAspokesperson LesleyWardlow said there weremore than 500 applicants

for the 36 apartments.The CMHA will have agrand opening for CaryCrossing later this sum-mer.

This is the secondCMHA affordable hous-ing project built in part-nership with the city ofMount Healthy. The Re-serve on South Martinwas a joint project by thecity, CMHA and the Cin-cinnati-Hamilton CountyNeighborhood Stabiliza-tion Program Consortiumthat features 60 units ofaffordable senior hous-ing. The Reserve on SouthMartin replaced 15 apart-ment buildings that werea major source of com-plaints from residents be-

cause of property mainte-nance and crime issues.

City Manager Bill Ko-cher says the projects aregood for the city, provid-ing affordable housingand increased income taxrevenue.

“We thought the pro-ject was a good transitionfor that property,” Ko-cher said. “The city madethe land purchase for re-development. We had in-terest from U-storagepeople, but we thoughtthis was the better choice.We liked the concept andwe liked the idea of hav-ing a commercial sidethat would provide placesfor some of the residentsto work.”

Recycling divertswaste from the Rumpkelandfill, where most of thewaste in the county is dis-posed of, prolonging thelife of the landfill.

The budget for thecounty’s recycling incen-tive program is just over$1million per year and thefunds are split among

Hamilton County commu-nities. The solid waste dis-trict calculates communi-ty funding based on ton-nage reported and the re-cycling rate. Therecycling rate is the tonsof materials recycled di-vided by the total amountof material collected.

The solid waste districtencourages communitieswith recycling rates low-er than 20 percent to usefunds to increase that re-cycling rate and financetheir recycling programs.Acceptable expenses in-clude solid waste educa-tion, awareness and pro-motion, contracts for resi-dential recycling efforts,publicly-operated drop-off, curbside, and buy-back programs and yardtrimmings managementprograms, labor, equip-ment and materials to

support recycling pro-grams.

Communities with re-cycling rates over 20 per-cent can spend their grantfunds on any of the itemslisted above and are alsoable to spend funds on re-cycled content purchases,such as recycled plasticplayground equipment orrecycled content officepaper. Communities withlower recycling rates canalso use the grants to buyrecycled content itemswith permission.

Frank Birkenhauer,Colerain Township assis-tant administrator, saysthe program providessavings for most resi-dents.

There have been resi-dent complaints becausethe contract did not in-clude an opt-out clause.Some residents havecome to meetings com-plaining they want tochoose their own garbagehandler. Others com-plained that they are nowforced to pay for garbageservices they didn’t needbefore. Some senior citi-zens send their garbage,which is minimal, homewith their children. Cole-rain Township Adminis-trator Jim Rowan saysgarbage handlers consid-er those arrangementstheft: the service is beingprovided for more thanone household and thecompany is receiving pay-ment for one.

The contract is a five-year agreement. Rowansaid an opt-out clausewould have meant the ratemay not have been as low.

“We did this to providesavings for township resi-dents to address the prob-lem of surcharges,” hesaid. He added that resi-dents were complainingabout fuel surcharges

added to their bills bywaste haulers looking forways to pass the cost ofdoing business on to cus-tomers.

Birkenhauer says theincrease in recyclingmeans the townshipshould receive a larger in-centive grant this year. Inpast years, the townshiphas used money from theincentive grant to pay forits Recycling Day eventfor township residents.This year, the event is setfor 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Satur-day, Sept. 24, at the Cole-rain Township Govern-ment Complex and Com-munity Center.

Springfield Townshipassistant AdministratorChris Gilbert agreed thatan opt-out would likelyhave driven up the cost.

“The waste haulingcompanies would havehad to guess at how manypeople would use the ser-vice, and you lost theeconomies of scale with asmaller number of partic-ipants,” he said.

Gilbert says the con-tract has resulted in sav-ings for the majority ofresidents and he sees thecontract as a good thingfor residents and thetownship.

“I think all communi-ties want to be environ-mentally sensitive,” hesaid.

Gilbert says Spring-field Township uses its re-cycling incentive grantmoney to buy items thatcontain recycled materi-als, such as copy paper.

“Anything with recy-cled material that meetsthe grant criteria, mean-ing we can save some ofour resources,” he said.

Mayor John Cranley went ona four-day tour of city neighbor-hoods recently, surrounded bycommunity leaders, as he an-nounced project after project –$38 million worth to be exact –that will be built with moneyfrom the sale of the Blue Ashairport, historic tax credits, aspecial taxing district and therefinancing of streetcar bonds.

And College Hill will get ashare of the bounty. On the listwas $4 million for College HillStation. Saint Francis Groupwill build a new development atHamilton Avenue and NorthBend Road, in which the cityhas already invested. CollegeHill Station was approved bycouncil at its June 29 meeting.

Those council approvals arehelping College Hill make pro-gress on a project that’s de-signed to reshape and renewlife in its business district.

The Saint Francis Group hasa preferred developmentagreement with the city to helpguide the future of almost 8acres acres of land at HamiltonAvenue and North Bend Road.The site is envisioned to featurea mixed-use development withretail, residential and officeuses. Planned in the first pro-ject phase are two multistoryresidential buildings with first-floor commercial space.

The city is selling 5.3 acresof land, which formerly houseda Kroger store, to Saint FrancisGroup for $1 for the first phase

of development. It will also kickin nearly $3.3 million to buildtwo public garages and otherpublic improvements.

Saint Francis Group is ex-pected to enter a long-termlease for up to 55 years forthose garages with an option tobuy them at the end of the term.

Saint Francis also has an op-tion to buy a 2.3-acre site acrossthe street at North Bend andHamilton for a future project.

There are other projects inCollege Hill in the works. Thecity is working with T.J. Acker-mann and Ralph Meierjohan toprepare a new 36-home subdivi-sion in neighborhood for the2016 Citirama home show. Col-lege Hill also gained 24 newhomes following the 2014 Citi-rama show.

And the College Hill Com-munity Urban RedevelopmentCorp. obtained a $100,000 grantto renovate the former NationalCity Bank building at 5932Hamilton Ave. to house a newrestaurant.

Cranley drew up the list ofprojects after talking to severalmembers of City Council, incor-porating some of their priori-ties. Many of the projects havebeen vetted in past hearings,Cranley said.

“All the negotiations weredone behind closed doors,” saidCouncilwoman Yvette Simp-son, who is weighing a mayoralrun against Cranley. “The may-or alone was meeting with com-munity members. That is whatwe don’t want. That was a bigproblem with the park levy;there was no community in-put.”

And that, she said, “breedsanimosity because some neigh-borhoods never got a chance.We don’t want to pit neighbor-hoods against each other.”

So was it political? Cranleysaid absolutely not.

“I don’t view it as political, Iview it as keeping my word,”said Cranley, who campaignedon a platform of investing inneighborhoods. “These arecommunities who have beenwaiting for help.”

As for Simpson’s remarks,Cranley retorted: “She is goodat finding money for the street-car, but not for neighborhoods.Talk is cheap.”

Cranley’s press conferencescame as the city was finalizingits fiscal year 2017 budget. Un-der the city’s charter, the citymanager proposes a budget andthe mayor then proposes hischanges. The council then getsfinal say.

Cranley’s approach was un-usual in that, rather than justoffering suggestions, he hostedcommunity leaders (and invit-ed all council members) to astring of press conferences atwhich he offered his budgetchanges.

This isn’t the first large-scale neighborhood investmentplan. In 2012, former MayorMark Mallory created Focus52, a program that directed $27million to neighborhood pro-jects that were publicly vettedby the city’s planning commis-sion. Cranley cut the programin fiscal year 2015, redirectingcasino revenue to the generalfund to avoid a deficit.

“We have room to grow a citywith everyone. That is when itreally becomes a city,” Cranleytold the dozens of people gath-ered for one of the press confer-ences.

Mary Burke Rivers, execu-tive director of Over-the-RhineCommunity Housing, publiclythanked Cranley and Vice May-or David Mann, saying, “Thank

you so much. I want to say welove you right now.”

Sara Sheets, executive di-rector of the Madisonville Com-munity Urban RedevelopmentCorp., praised the wide range ofprojects.

“Neighborhoods are wherewe spend most of our time,” shesaid. “They are where we teachkids how to ride bikes, where

we meet our friends in coffeeshops, where we have backyardbarbecues, where we createour memories.

“We are so lucky to have di-verse neighborhoods with char-acter and personality. Some ofthem just need a little help toreach their full potential.”

I knew better, really. I couldn’tresist picking day lilies (tiger lilies)growing along my old country road tomake a batch of day lily wine. Theflowers bordered the road, so I didn’teven think to put any insect spray onmy legs.

Wearing shorts, I delved prettydeep into the flower patch and cameaway with a big basket full of beauti-ful orange day lily petals.

I made a “mash” of the petals witha bit of yeast, sugar, water and golden raisins.This was to sit for three days before strain-ing. By the time the three days were up, thechiggers decided to come out from hiding.Big itchy welts from my waist down. Lessonlearned!

Check out the photos of this winemaking process on my Abouteating.comsite. Let me know if you want the recipe,too.

When I walked back and saw that theLacinato kale in the garden was readyfor harvesting, I picked a bunch and dugsome new potatoes. I used both in thisdelicious clone of Olive Garden’s ZuppaToscana that I made for supper.

I wanted to share an alcohol free va-nilla extract, so that recipe is here, too.

Rita’s Zuppa Toscana like Olive Garden

You can use sweet Italian sausage and add red pepper flakes totaste if you want. Note the dry mashed potato flakes in the recipe. I usethese as a thickener and nutrient booster in this type of soup, or anycreamy soup. It’s my secret ingredient to thick and rich soups.

This is a to-taste recipe. Hard to measure exactly.

1 pound hot Italian sausage8-12 slices bacon, cut up into 1/2” pieces (I used thick sliced)1 large onion, diced (a good 2 cups)1 heaping tablespoon garlic, minced8 cups low sodium chicken broth5 generous cups sliced potatoes, peeled or notAs much kale as you like (I used several handfuls chopped)Salt and pepper to tasteDry mashed potato flakes (optional)Parmesan cheese for garnish

Cook sausage until done. Drain and set aside. In same pot, cookbacon and leave drippings. Cook onion garlic in the drippings until on-ions are translucent. This won’t take long. Add back sausage and bacon.Add broth and potatoes. Bring to a boil, lower to a gentle boil and cookuntil potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in cream and heatthrough. Stir in kale and cook a bit. Adjust seasonings. If you think thesoup is too thin, start adding a little bit of dry mashed potato flakes.Sprinkle with cheese and serve. Serves 8-10.

Tip from Rita’s garden: good for you kaleKale is nutrient dense with lots of fiber, calcium, iron and vitamins.

Lacinato, or alligator kale as the kids call it, is more mild in flavor thanregular kale.

Homemade alcohol free vanilla extract

For the Eastgate reader who needed this. A good substitute forextract made with alcohol, though I will say, depending upon what youuse it in, the alcohol content in regular extract can be minimal, if that.Now this does take patience, but any homemade extract takes a longtime to infuse.

7-8 vanilla bean podsSeveral dashes salt1 cup distilled water or alcohol free vegetable glycerin

First, pound the whole vanilla beans flat. Then slit in 2 and open thepods. This releases the little seeds into the water. Put pods into a steril-ized bottle (you can run it through the dishwasher) and add water. Putlid on. Shake. Store in frig and shake it every day for a month. After that,leave it in the frig. another month, and shake it whenever you thinkabout it, several times a week. Extract will be ready in 2 months, but isbest the longer you keep it in the frig. This keeps for a good threemonths in the frig or up to a year frozen.

Tip from Rita’s kitchenVegetable glycerin makes a thicker extract. Some health food and

drug stores carry it, or buy it online.

July 6 questionWhat book have you read or

what movie have you seen thissummer that you would recom-mend to others? Why?

“I would recommend the book‘Sunny’s Nights: Lost and Foundat a Bar on the Edge of the World’by Tim Sultan.

“It is a true story of a small barin Red Hook, Brooklyn, its eccen-tric owner and the friendshipthat develops with the book’s au-thor.

“It is told in a series of vi-gnettes centering around the barand it bridges the American pastwith the present, but creates aplace that seems timeless.

“Sunny, the bars proprietor,passed this past year, but his tal-ents, stories and generous spiritlive on in this book.”

C.S.

“I recently watch a five-partmade for TV movie concerningthe 1995 OJ Simpson trial. While Ipaid some attention to that trialthis movie(and the ESPN docu-

mentary) gave me a lot more de-tail and refreshed my memory onmany points. OJ certainly had thebest ‘dream legal team’ moneycould buy and they got him off.The prosecution made severalkey mistakes that played into thedream team’s traps. However OJwas found guilty in the follow oncivil trial where he had to testify.He was charged with paying $33million to the injured parties.Years later he was sentenced to

33 years in prison due to anarmed robbery attempt in LasVegas.”

June 29 questionWhat do you see as the most im-

portant issue or issues in the presi-dential race? Why? Which candi-date best aligns with your views onthose issues?

“This week’s question is aboutthe presidential race and what ismost important. I think the mostimportant thing first is to undo allthe harm that President Obamahas done to this country and itspeople, its worldwide reputationand our safety. I’m sorry, but Ireally believe that Obama hasbeen the worst president I haveseen in my lifetime and I wasborn when President Eisenhowerwas in office, and I also believethat Hillary Clinton just want’s tocarry on his liberal leftist poli-cies.

“I really believe that the can-didate that has the best and most

sincere goals for making ourcountry great again in DonaldTrump. I realize that he can be abit obnoxious at times, but I be-lieve he’s doing that on purpose toupset the liberal, politically cor-rect left. I believe he has verygood intentions and he does knowhow to negotiate and take charge.Let’s face it, Donald Trump didnot get where he is, even in busi-ness by being a dummy. We allknow that Mr. Trump likes a good‘war with words,’ but sometimesIhave to laugh because not only ishe being honest but doing so in ahumorous way as well.”

Tim Kline

“I think the two most impor-tant issues are the economy andglobal security as it relates to ter-rorism. I also find gun violenceand the over use of guns in vio-lence to be an issue.

“I’m not sure either party candeal with anything as the govern-ment currently stands. I think theGOP and their support of Trumpis outrageous and dangerous forour country. I was embarrassed

that Sen. Portman supports himand will attend the GOP conven-tion in Cleveland. The GOP caresmore about party unity and puri-ty than working out issues facingour country.

“I have to vote Democratic inthis election. My grandparentscame over as immigrants and be-cause of them I am now here. Af-ter my father passed as a childmy mother worked and it wasonly through social policies, assupported by Democratic princi-ples that we were able to stay inour home.

“I want my daughter to be ableto make her own reproductivehealth choices, have the opportu-nity for equal pay for equal workwhen working with males and Iwant to see a fairer tax system.

“I want combat weapons un-available to anyone I want to see avast reform in campaign financ-ing so a pro violence organizationlike the NRA can’t paralyze ourcountry’s medical research andCongress

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers [email protected] withCh@troom in the subject line.

It’s important for each of usto have quiet moments in ourlives; to regroup. Just stop andponder a moment about this:

Each one of us has about 80years to live out our vision ordreams of what we want in life.

OK, some more, some less,but a good number of yearsanyway. How do we accom-plish this, so at the end, when-ever that is, we have no re-grets, no leftover things wewere planning to do?

It really comes down to aday-to-day mentally. It’s a com-bination of living each day as ifyour last while at the sametime living with a vision oftomorrow.

Being successful at livinglife fully is one of those thingseasier said. Some days we go tobed at night with great memo-ries of events and other nightswe just hope tomorrow is lessstressful.

Unless you’re in really poorhealth, we don’t have any ideawhich day is our last. Most

people don’teven want tothink aboutdeath…letalone talkabout the pos-sibility.

There is aquote from thebook “Tues-days WithMorrie,”

where Morrie tells Mitch,“Once you learn how to die,you learn how to live.” Otherwords, if you thought you weregoing to die soon, you wouldexperience life with morepassion and gusto…absorbingeverything around you.

In accepting death…mean-ing recognizing it could happenat anytime; we are consentingthat life is a brief short-termperiod. With that said, we needto continue looking at our-selves in the mirror: coming togrips with who we really are,or have become. Reviewinglife up to this point…making

any needed changes to feelmore in control, more engaged.But for many people, thesefeelings only are shared beforedeath.

Someone once said. “Lifeisn’t measured by the amountof breaths we take, but by themoments that take your breathaway.”

The other part of the day-to-day living advice is living lifewith a vision of tomorrow. Thispart of the engaging life plan isfor each one of us to takecharge of it. I compare livinglife with playing football. Weneed to be the quarterbackcalling the plays, not in thestands watching the game.Plan each day so that it entailsthe possibility of somethingspecial that can transform intoa life moment.

We all have the requiredwhat I call the “life’s dailymaintenance,” meaning thecontinuation of meeting day-to-day needs such as food-…health…shelter…transporta-

tion. As you know some of ushave more of a complex, de-manding, consuming, andstressful schedules to accom-plish this.

Some people are attemptingto downsize and discover asimpler life. Whether your lifeis simple or complex, just re-member it’s your life…yourlife…your life. Other peopleare only for the ride as youcontrol the journey.

So then it is possible as awise man once said, “to livemany years and yet live only ashort life as it’s feasible tohave lived just a few years, buthave a long full life.

I wish you all not a long life,but a fulfilled day-to-day one.

LIVE A LONG, FULFILLED LIFE

Wes AdamsonCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

One misty June evening in aLondon hotel in 1994 we joined40 other tourists and a tourdirector to preview a grandtour of Europe.

The excitement of visitingnew places was enhanced byour early first impressions ofcomplete strangers where thejourney began. Even thoughwe were engulfed by the ex-citement of seeing London’slandmarks, we became in-trigued with the company offive travelers from Australiaand a woman from Little RockArkansas.

As the tour progressed weformed an inseparable groupthat remained together eachday. One of our friends, Tony,was a retired accountant fromMelbourne Australia. Nightconversations were highlight-ed listening to Tony speakingwith his Australian accent andPat conversing in her soft Ar-kansas southern drawl.

Each day everyone noticedthat Pat and Tony grew closeras we explored different coun-tries. One sultry night in Rome

while all of uswere sittingaround theTrevi fountain,everyone be-come engagedin the traditionof making awish then toss-ing a coin intothe cascadingwater. Stand-

ing in front of the swirlingwaters, Tony was the last totoss a coin. Dressed in his fa-vorite light blue sport jacketand Aussie polo shirt, he tossedthe coin high into the Romannight, then proclaimed to allthat one day he would return.

Our photograph taken of thegroup’s last dinner in a Londonrestaurant depicts eightfriends having fun together forthe very last time. Tony’s fare-well toast and smile were un-forgettable. Needless to saythe following morning wascharacterized by lots of bitter-sweet goodbyes.

For the next few years wefaithfully remained in touch

with one another through vari-ous mail systems and occasion-al phone calls. Even today westill exchange Christmas cardswith one of the couples.

One night in April 1996, Pat,our friend from Little Rock,called to relate some devas-tating news. She had just heardfrom one of Tony’s relativesthat he had been shot andkilled by a gunman firing anAR15 rifle in a mass shootingthat killed thirty five people ina small cafe in Port Arthur,Tasmania. Tony whose passionwas travel was one of the ill-fated tourists waiting to take aferry back to Hobart. His lastwords before he died were,“Please not here.” Earlier hehad arranged his first tour ofthe United States.

Following this unimaginableevent Australia’s citizens im-plored their government to doeverything possible to preventsuch a horrible tragedy fromhappening again. Shortlythereafter, despite well fundedefforts from the NRA, thecountry’s government enacted

restrictive gun legislation anda government gun buy backprogram that all but abolishedthe legal ownership and use ofself loading rifles and selfloading shotguns. The buyback program encouragedcitizens to hand in over 643,000firearms at a cost of $350 mil-lion dollars.

Between 1971 and 1996 therewere 15 mass shootings inAustralia. Since that terribleday of the Port Arthur massa-cre, none have occurred in thecountry. These two decades ofnational peace are a silverlining surrounding those wholost their lives on April 29,1996.

Tony never realized hisdream to visit the UnitedStates, nor did he fulfill hispromise to see the Trevi Foun-tain once more. To our friendand travel companion, TonyNightengale, “Rest in Peace.”

From the coaches to the play-ers to the parents, everyone in-volved with the upcoming tripto China by the Winton WoodsHigh School soccer team is ex-cited about this internationalopportunity. The team will becompeting in the China (Shang-hai) International Youth Foot-ball Invitational and is the onlyU.S. team invited to participate.The trip takes place July 11-20.

“I’m very excited for theWinton Woods team and thisamazing opportunity,” said par-ent Diana Behrendt, who son,Nicholas, will be returning forhis second visit to China. “It wasvery exciting last year when

Nicholas was able to travel toChina with the high schoolband, but it’s unbelievable thathe will be visiting for a secondtime just over a year later. Heand the team will be gaining somany life experiences in justone week.”

The soccer tournament willinclude 16 teams from aroundthe world, and Winton Woodsplayers are guaranteed fourmatches. The opportunity hascome about, in part, through aneducational partnership be-tween Winton Woods HighSchool and International Edu-cation USA in China. Meals,dormitory housing, and trans-

portation during the trip are be-ing provided by the ShanghaiSoccer tournament, and theteam has done fundraising tocover additional expenses.

“The traveling alone willgive the team members somuch confidence to step awayfrom their comfort zones in thefuture,” said Behrendt. “Thisvisit will bring these young menin contact with other studentstheir age from all over theworld. Even though communi-cation may be a barrier attimes, when they get on the soc-cer field they will all suddenlybe speaking the same lan-guage.”

Hyde Park said.“We worked in small

groups each day for about30 minutes to an hour.They really had to work ontheir communication andteamwork skills.”

Step-Up provides high-ly individualized educa-tion for 21 students withautism and other sensoryand behavioral challengesthat make it difficult tosucceed in a typical class-room. The alternativeeducation program helpselementary and highschool students learn howto deal with sensory chal-lenges and develop socialinteraction skills as wellas meeting educationalgoals.

The Rain Barrel ArtProject was open to

A colorful rain barrelcaptured more than rain-water at Stepping Stones’Step-Up Aternative Edu-cation Program for stu-dents with severe autism.

Step-Up studentspainted the barrel as partof the Save Local Watersannual Rain Barrel ArtProject. The barrel,meant to capture rain,ended up capturing thestudents’ interest, ex-panding their communi-cation and fine motorskills and helping themwork as a team - a rare ac-complishment for chil-dren with significant sen-sory challenges.

“It took us a little over amonth to complete,” Step-Up assistant managerMaureen Harmon of

groups and individualsfrom across Greater Cin-cinnati who submitted de-signs. Save Local Waterschose 51to create rain bar-rels for an auction in Aprilto raise funds for waterconservation education.

The Step-Up barrel isone of a few that did notsell at the auction and arestill available for a $90 do-nation, said John Nelson,public relations specialistfor the Hamilton CountySoil and Water Conserva-tion District, which is partof SaveLocalWaters.org.The organization was cre-ated by the seven-countyRegional Storm WaterCollaborative of South-west Ohio and NorthernKentucky to raise aware-ness of water quality and

conservation in the OhioRiver Valley.

The Step-Up studentswere involved in everystep of creating their rainbarrel, Harmon said.

“We made an outline ofa rain barrel on a piece ofpaper and passed itaround. Each of the stu-dents and their education-al aides added an idea tothe rain barrel outline. Weprompted them to com-municate what their inter-ests are and worked withthem to find a way to in-corporate their interestsinto our design.”

sical notes. The theme is“Step-Up the Beat.”

“It reflects our stu-dents’ love of walking onour trails here on cam-pus and listening to mu-sic,” Harmon said, refer-ring to Stepping Stones’23-acre wooded campusin Indian Hill, whichhouses the year-roundStep-Up program.

A student and his aideused their computerskill lessons to completethe online application.

Once chosen, thegroup sanded the barrelto rough the surface, cutstencils for major designareas and painted threecoats of primer and sev-eral coats of a butteryyellow base beforepainting the final design.

“The students had towork on their gross mo-tor skills and had to doself-checks to make surethey sanded the entiresurface,” Harmon said.

“Priming the barrel

took a lot of fine motorskill and dexteritystrength, as well as pa-tience.”

Making stencils, posi-tioning them and follow-ing the design plan was amajor effort.

“This taught themhow to plan ahead whenworking on a project andworked on skills such asusing scissors and copy-ing images from a mod-el.”

Painting the designtook two weeks, with stu-dents spending 30 min-utes a day. “They fo-cused on one item at atime starting with the an-imal, moving to thewords then the musicalnotes and then complet-ing touch ups and detailsas needed,” said Har-mon.

“They learned to usetheir strengths in decid-ing what areas of the rainbarrel to paint. They hadto work on focus, finemotor skills and workingas a team to complete acommon goal,” Harmonsaid.

The rain barrel auc-

tion, at the CincinnatiZoo, raised close to$5,000 for water conser-vation education. Thebarrels were on displayat the zoo and did whatrain barrels do, said Nel-son. They sat out in theweather.

“The Step-Up barrelhad a few nicks from theweather. I think that’swhy it didn’t sell at theauction” he said.

The Step-Up barreland others that didn’tsell at the auction areavailable for the auctionstarting bid of $90, whichwill support water con-servation education.

For information onpurchasing a rain barrel,contact John Nelson at772-7645 or [email protected]

Students in the Step-Up program must be re-ferred to the program bytheir school district.

Move over, Angie’s List andBetter Business Bureau. An on-line Christian directory networkhas entered the business re-views arena.

Christian Blue Network,headquartered in Miamisburg,has launched TrustBlueReview-.com, an online product and ser-vice reviews-based referral di-rectory for people looking toconnect with businesses whoseowners identify themselves asChristians.

“Everyone is looking for busi-nesses they can trust,” saidSpringfield Township residentDarrel Geis, president of Chris-tian Blue Network, a 25-old yearprint, web and mobile app pro-motional network that serveseight Ohio, Kentucky and Indi-ana metropolitan areas. “AtTrust Blue Review, we believethat the best way to gain trust iswhen you know from the begin-ning that the business owner has

made a commitment to honorGod by doing the job right, withhonesty and integrity.”

The new digital reviews sys-tem allows people to securefeedback from others who haveused a business in the networkand get a glimpse into the com-pany’s value system, in particu-lar, the character of the personsteering the ship of that busi-ness, Geis said. Ultimately, headded, it should make selectingexcellent, trustworthy productand service providers easier.

“We believe our unique filterof business competence andChristian character is differentthan any other way consumersfind businesses they can trust,”Geis said. “With the new reviewscomponent, our consumers areable to voice how our advertis-ers are performing. Our adver-tisers have been operating withexcellence in their businesses allalong, and now with consumer

reviews, we’ll have the means toaffirm it.”

Christian Blue Network pub-lishes an annual print directoryof Christian-owned and operatedbusinesses called Christian BluePages in Cincinnati, Columbus,Dayton, Indianapolis, Akron/

Canton, Springfield/Urbana, andNorthern Kentucky, along withits current ChristianBluePages-.com online directory. It also pro-duces Christmas Blue Pages, anannual Christmas carol song-book, which includes lyrics andmusic to traditional, Christ-cen-

tered Christmas carols and aread-aloud Christmas program.
