CSP plays annual Forest Park concert
Forest Park — A rash ofthefts in the city’s commer-cial districts have left peoplea little hot.
Air conditioning unitshave been stripped of theircopper in four separate inci-dents in the past two weeks,causing more than $250,000in damage, police said.
Police Det. Bill Crowleysays the first incident, re-ported June 26, was at theNorth Point Center at 639Northland Blvd. The build-ing owner,Mendo Inc., has toreplace 11 rooftop air condi-tioners after the units weretaken apart and the coppertubing inside was removed.
Crowley says the peopleresponsible are likely usingan industrial ladder to climbto the rooftop and may bepulling the ladder up on theroof so there is no indicationonthegroundthata theft is inprogress.
“If they are not leavingthe ladder down, it would behard to see them up on theserooftops,” Crowley said. Hesaid thevalueof thecopper ishard to estimate, but the costto businesses is high. TheJune26 incidentwas listedasa loss of $110,000.
Asecond theftwas report-ed July1at the Old Time Pot-tery, 11191 Smiley Road. Themanager of the store report-ed nine rooftop units weredamaged.A roof hatch alarmwas tripped at 4:30 a.m. Sat-urday,June29,which iswhenpolice believe the theft tookplace. Seven rooftop unitsfrom other businesses in theCobblewood Plaza where theOld Time Pottery store is lo-cated were also broken intoand copper was taken.
Crowley said the thirdtheft was reported Friday,July 5, at the North PointCenter again, where fiveunits were broken into andthe rubber roof was dam-aged. All of those units werereportedly in good workingorder at close of business onJuly 3, according to reports.
The latest theft was re-ported Wednesday, July 10,when three additional unitswere broken into and copperwas taken from theOld TimePottery store at the Cobble-wood Plaza.
The department has sentinformation to thecity’sbusi-ness community warningthem about the thefts andasking people to call the po-lice department if they seeanything suspicious or haveany information about thethefts.

College Hill — Farm Marketvolunteer Diana Porter said theweekly market is a way to pro-mote healthy living in the Cin-cinnati suburb.
“We try to help people eatmore local and healthy foods,”she said.
The 66-year-old said at least
50percentof theproducts thatavendor brings must be locallygrown or produced within 100miles of College Hill.
“We really want to encour-age entrepreneurship here inthe neighborhood and keepsome of our food dollars in theneighborhood,” she said.
The market, which is in theparking lot of the College HillPresbyterian Church, 5742Hamilton Ave., is open Thurs-days from3 to 6:30 p.m. and fea-

cial concepts (includingan IAMS jingle for P&G),knows all about it – whichis why she was saddenedwhen the Mount Healthyschool district had to cutits arts program in 2010,leavingK-3 students with-outaccesstoartandmusiccourses.
So, Waddell – alongwith her professional as-sociates, David andMarlaHeffron – worked to givestudents the next bestthing: the opportunity tolet their voices be heard.
Literally.Scores of elementary
students – including Wad-dell and his brother, Rob-ert – participated in “AVoice,” a song written bythe Heffrons that is in theprocessofbecomingamu-sic video.
The song, which is 5:03long, is being sold onAma-
Mt. Healthy — HaydenWaddell hasn’t taken anarts class sincekindergar-ten,butthankstohismoth-er, Wanda, the soon-to-bethird grader at MountHealthy South Elemen-
tary recently had an op-portunity to flex his cre-ative muscles.
“It’s so important thatchildrenbe involved in thecreative process,” Wandasaid. “These are criticaltimes for development.”
Wanda, who has writ-ten and filmed commer-
zon and iTunes for 99cents. All proceedswill bedonated to the district tosupport the arts.
The video, meanwhile,will include interviewswith the students, whowereaskedquestionssuchas, “What do you want tobe when you grow up?”and “What changes do youwant to see in the world?”
“I was kind of shy,”Waddell, 9, said of his in-terview.
Other students set loftygoals; one girl hopes tocure cancer.
“Thesong is abouthopeand this generation,”Wan-dasaid. “Wegotsomeverypowerful statements fromthese kids.”
Even more important,Wanda provided a cre-ative outlet for studentsthat wouldn’t have had itotherwise – and, in some
cases, for students whohaven’t had it at all.
“My little brother lovestobeartistic,but I feel likehe can’t really share that,”said Robert, 12. “It’s kindof sad.”
That’s the same wayMount Healthy CitySchool District superin-tendent Lori Handler feltin 2010. Handler adoresthe arts, but in the face ofcuts, English, math andscience take precedence.
“It was a painstakingchoice to have to do that,”Handler said, “which iswhy we are so excitedabout this project.”
Wanda is excited, too.She hopes a local businesswill step forward to spon-sor the song and video,spread the word and per-hapsdonate to thedistrict.While reinstating the artsprogram would cost tens
of thousands of dollars,she hopes enough moneycan be raised to supportprojects such as “AVoice”in the future.
“We want people to un-derstand that this is im-portant; we have somewonderful, beautifulminds in our school dis-trict, andwereallyneed todo what we can to nurturethem,” Wanda said. “Thenwe can get children in-volved who don’t get to gothrough the creative proc-ess.Someofthebiggest in-dustries in the UnitedStates revolve aroundmarketing,which is full ofcreative minds, so cre-ative education is neededin today’s society.
“We’re surrounded byart. It’sall arounduseveryday. People want thatbeautyintheir life,howev-er they can find it.”

tures fruits, vegetables,baked goods, homemadedrinks, honey and otherproducts. Porter said theyalso try to schedule enter-tainment, food demon-strations and other eventsthroughout the month.
On July 25, a vendor
will have pizza samplesand offer pizza recipes.On Aug. 1 there will be afashion show.
“It’s a real communitybuilder,” Porter said.
Vendor Cliff Dziech,71, said he enjoys sellingfruits and vegetables atthe farmmarket.
“This is a nice marketwith nice people,” he said.
North Bend residentNancy Riesz said she sawthe market on her wayhome and decided to stopfor vegetables.
“I wanted to get somelettuce and I’m going totry some Chinese cab-bage,” she said aftermak-ing her selection at themarket.
The outdoor market atthe Presbyterian churchis open through Oct. 24.FromNov.1throughApril24, there is an indoormar-ket at theCollegeHillCof-fee Company, 6128Hamil-
ton Ave.Most vendors ac-cept cash only and themarket now accepts elec-tronic benefits transfer(EBT) which allows peo-ple touse their foodstampcard to purchase items atthe market. Porter said
they are working to beable to accept creditcards.

Forest Park Police Lt.Jeff Larsch said the de-partment is talking withneighboring agencies tosee if they have similarcases in their jurisdic-tions. Crowley said Shar-
onville has had one inci-dent with enough similar-ities that he thinks it islikely connected to theForest Park thefts.
“I talked to the Cole-rain Township suspect inthe school break-ins, butwe agree it’s not likely heis connected,” Crowleysaid.
Crowley said the thefts
are frustrating, because itis hard to track the sale ofthe copper.
“There are a lot of le-gitimate constructioncompanies selling thisscrap everyday,” he said.“We are following up within-state and out-of-statedealers. We are doing ev-erything we can at thispoint.”

roofing, paving, replace-ment of heating and air-conditioning systems, se-curity updates and othercapital projects over thenext two years. He saidHouseBill 264will pay forenergy-efficient im-provements such asplumbing, lighting withsensors that turnoffwhenthere is inactivity, con-trols tomonitorandsetairconditioners and heatersto run more efficientlyand boiler replacementsin Brent Elementary andthe Secondary Campus.
“We should saveenoughmoney on our util-ity bills and maintenanceeach year to pay back thebonds and the interest,”Oliverio said.
Lighting projects,plumbing and some secu-ritymeasures are alreadycomplete.Roofingand thereplacement of the heat-ing and air-conditioningsystems will be finishedbefore school resumesand paving projects andsome technology workwill be complete in thesummer of 2014, he said.
Finneytown lead main-tenance technician Mike
Morgan said one of themost important projectsis the roofing at Whitakerand the Secondary Cam-pus as in most instances25- to 30-year-old roofsare being replaced.
“For a couple of yearswe were spending waymore in maintenance be-cause we didn’t haveenough money for thewhole project,” he said.
Morgan said the newroofs which were flat willbe updated with a slighttaper to a drainage sys-tem to keep the roof dryand clear of standing wa-ter.
“If your building enve-lope is compromised,you’ve got nothing, nomatter what you have un-derneath. You could have
thebestcomputersunder-neath but if you’re roofleaks on them, they’repointless,” Morgan said.“The building envelopewas the first thing wewanted to deal with.”
Morgan said the up-grades are a way of mak-ing sure the taxpayers getthemost out of their mon-ey.
“We’ve had a history ofupgrading stuff and mak-ing improvements as theycome along. A lot of themwe’ve done ourselves,” hesaid. “These upgradeswill be a continuation ofthat. We’ve always beenvery proactive.”

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS —Though field dimensionshaven’t changed and the gamestill involves nine players, thejump to Division I baseball
was a difficultone for North-ern KentuckyUniversity.
After a 36-22record in 2012,theNorsewereafrustrating 8-47in their firstyear in the At-lantic Sun.
To remedy that, coach ToddAsalonhas broadenedhis hori-zons in recruiting. Becausethey were not Division I in thepast, NKU often landed trans-
fers who didn’thave to sit out.
Now, like allDI institutions, atransfer mustsit a year. Be-cause of the lev-el of play andnew restric-tions, the Norsecoaching staff
has done some recent globe-trotting.
“WesignedeightCanadiansthis year, we’re trying to go alittle international to changethingsup,”Asalon said. “We’realso going out to thewest coastwith a couple kids out of theColorado area. We went withsome junior college kids thatare a little bit bigger, strongerand faster.”
As a result, NKU will be onthe young side next year withtheir only seniors being BrettCisper from Moeller and ZacAsman from Elder.
Those two are the veteransof the local crew that Asalonwould still like to attract.Whathehas tooffer isafavorable lo-cation where friends and fam-ily can watch college gameswithout considerable travelexpense.
“If we can get the local kid,we’d love to have them,” Asa-lon said. “You can get a chanceto come in here and play right
away and the travel is good.You get to go to Florida quite afew timesandwego toCalifor-nia twice.”
Joining Cisper and Asmanon the list of NKU locals is in-fielder Caleb Lonkard of Ryle,pitcher Bela Perler of Ander-son,AlexBoliaandNickBeardof Elder, pitcher Drew Camp-bell ofLaSalle,Madeira catch-erCodyKuzniczci andMoelleroutfielder Ryan LeFevers.
Asalon likes tournament-tested Greater CatholicLeague players and also hasanother player with consider-able postseason experience inKuzniczci.
“He had a great year forus,” Asalon said. “He led us indoubles. We asked him to do alot. He caught a lot andwe bat-ted him in the cleanup spot.We’re expecting Cody to comein and have a really good yearfor us.”
Many of the locals tooktheir lumps in the southern-based Atlantic Sun playing onNKU’s new artificial turf in-field.
“With that said, we have 17new kids,” Asalon said. “We’regoing to have great competi-tion and we’ll let them fight itout in the fall. The best manwins and gets to play inspring.”
Battling the likes of OhioState, Louisville, Kentucky,Cincinnati, Xavier and Miamifor recruits, NKU offers agood conference and possiblya quicker path to the line-up.
“The good part is we’re intheAtlanticSun; thebadpart iswe’re in theAtlanticSun,”Asa-lon said. “They had two teamsgo to the regionals this year.They’re in Florida and the At-lanta area. There’s betterweather, the facilities are nic-er and they take it serious.”
To step up to the challenge,Asalon has a non-conferenceschedule that includes someearly warm-weather trips toTroy (Alabama) and the Uni-versity of SanDiego andLoyo-la Marymount in California.
“We’ve ramped it upagain,”Asalon said. “We’re going toplay the best people possible.”

COLUMBUS — Thank good-ness for technology.
Without it, Kortney Pifhermight be pulling out her hair in-stead of pulling together thethird annual Walk of Angels.
See, the 2010 McAuley HighSchool graduate now studiesmicrobiology at Ohio State Uni-versity. She works as a univer-sity ambassador and has a serv-ing job. In addition, she’s doingshadowing hours to help facili-tate her ambition to go to med-ical school.
Yet she’s in regular contactwith her walk team back homevia e-mail, socialmedia and oth-er means, selecting routes, pro-moting the event and more.
“I’m kind of teleporting in-structions,” she said. “I’m verylucky to have somany people inCincinnati who are as passion-ate about this as I am.”
This.TheWalk of Angels.The 5K event takes place
Sunday, July 28, at historicSpring Grove Cemetery andhonors the memory of three ofPifher’s teammates on the Cor-pus Christi Blaze youth soccerteamwhodied inautomobile ac-cidents: Lauren Dietz and Mi-randa Phelps, who passed May29, 2007, and Jessica Phillips,who died June 8, 2009.
“It was a wake-up call for allof us,” Pifher said. “It wasshocking to lose three girlsfrom one team at such a youngage.
“It’s kind of crazy. Our teamdisbanded by maybe my sopho-moreyear inhighschool, butwewere like a family. It’s a cliche,but it’s true. These are peopleyou spent your childhood with.Not just the girls, but the par-ents, the families.
“We don’t see each other allthe time any more, but we’re
still close.There aregirls on theteam who come in just for this,to be a part of this for ourfriends.”
This. The Walk of Angels.Pifher expects about 300partic-ipants this year and hopes toraise more than $7,000 to helpfund the Driving Angels pro-gram in the Northwest LocalSchool district (all three crashvictims attended either North-west or Colerain high schools).
Driving Angels celebratedits 500th studentcompleting theteen safe driving program inthe spring; PurcellMarianHighSchool will bring Driving An-gels to its campus this year.
“Kortney isanextraordinaryyoung woman who has madesuch an impact on so manyyoung people as a result of thisrace she began three yearsago,” said Spring Grove publicrelations manager DebbieBudke in a release. “She hasraisedmoneytohelpsoccerath-
letes compete at an advancedlevel and has saved an immea-surable number of lives by rais-ing funds for the Driving An-gels program.”
The midpoint of the walkcourse passes near the gravesites for Dietz and Phelps.
“Cemeteries are not quitemycupof tea,but it’s abeautifulsetting,” Pifher said. “It addssome perspective, gives peoplea chance to rememberwho theyare honoring.”

CINCINNATI — Willie Mooreis coming home.
Miami University an-nounced the former Aiken bas-ketball standout is transferringto the Redhawks following ayear at the University of Ore-gon where his Ducks reachedthe Sweet 16.
Originally committed to Du-quesne before coach Ron Ever-hart was fired, it’s been quite aride for the former Falcon.
“The process kind of helpedme in a way,” Moore said. “Be-ing up (in Oregon) and playingin an elite conference helpedme grow as a man and as a bas-ketball player.”
While at Oregon Mooreplayed in 26 of their 37 games,starting in two. He finished theseason averaging 2.0 points pergame and will bring some valu-able postseason experience tothe Redhawks, who have notbeen to the Sweet 16 since 1999whenWally Szczerbiak becamea household name.
“I’m really happy to be homeand excited to be a Redhawk,”the point guard said. “Beinghome brings more comfort andconfidence.”
Family played a big role inMoore’s transfer.
“… It brings my mom into itwhere she can come to thegames andmy little brother andsister and the rest of my familycan come too.”
Moore experienced some-thing as a freshman that mostseniors are lucky to experience:A trip to the Sweet 16 in theNCAA Tournament. It was anexperience he hopes he can in-still upon his Redhawk team-mates.
“…Just coming (toMiami) isgoing to help the team with myexperience andmaking it to theSweet 16,” Moore said. “I knowthis team needs help and withmy abilities I know I can help
change this program around.”Moore will have three years
of eligibility remainingwith theRedhawks, but whether Moorewill be eligible for the 2013-2014season is up to the NCAA. Col-lege basketball’s governingbodymust approve his transferand a decision is expected bySeptember.
Whenever Moore takes thecourt inside Millett Hall, hefully expects to contributeheavily to the team.
“…(CoachJohnCooper) seesme as a person coming in thatcan do multiple things for theteam like handle the ball, pass
theball,which is something I doreally good,” he said. “My courtvision and IQ is crazy.”
Cooper is excited to add theformer Enquirer Division II-IVfirst-team selection to his ros-ter.
“Willie Moore is anotheryoungmanwhowas a part of anNCAA Tournament team thatwon games in the tournament,and we are really excited tohavehimjoinourprogram,” thecoachsaid inapressrelease. “…For our style of play and whatwe like to do off the ball screensand everything else, he’s a ter-rific fit.”

DALLAS — Cincinnatisits 540 feet above sealevel.Dallas,Texas, rests110 feet lower at 430.
The change in eleva-tion in Dallas proved awelcome change for theElevation from Cincin-nati.
Yes, Elevation, with acapital E.
The Elevation volley-ball program based outof Sports Express nearKings Island sent fourteams to the USA Volley-ball Girls Junior Nation-al tournament in Big Dthe week of Independ-ence Day.
The most successfulElevation squad - the 16-year-old team coachedby Sycamore HighSchool girls varsity headcoach Greg Ulland andfilledwith an all-star ros-ter of rising juniors fromacross the city - finishedfifth in the upper-divi-sion tournament.
The team won an low-er-division national titlethe previous summer.
Three of the 10 Eleva-tion 16 players - AbbyWilliams, Katherine Ed-mondsonandLaurenWil-kins - were part of Ursu-line Academy’s 2012 Di-vision I state title pro-gram last fall underLions head coach JeniCase. The Elevation 16team roster also includeslocal girl, Abby Gourleyof McAuley.
“That kind of competi-tion can only be good forour area’s high schoolteams,” said Case, whoowns and operatesSports Express with her
husband, former PurcellMarian High School mul-ti-sport star John PaulCase. “The level ofplay isunbelievable.”
More than just a teamevent, the national tour-nament was a family af-fair for the Case clan. Lo-ganCase is an11-year-oldheading into sixth gradeat St. Margaret of York.She played up with theElevation 12-year-oldteam that took 13th placenationally among 48qualifying teams.
“Logan’s 12s didn’tlose a tournament allyear, but when you get tonationals, you see awhole different level ofvolleyball from other
parts of the country,” Je-ni said. “Someof theCali-fornia teams, those girlshave been playing thebeach since they were 4years old.
“We have kids playingin third grade now inCYO - which I still thinkis pretty young - butthose girls already havefive years in by that age.It’s good for the parentsto see that we’re goodhere, but there’s a muchbigger world of volley-ball. They see what ittakes to compete at thatlevel.”
Teams play multiplematches each day, in-cluding two days of poolplay before dividing into
National (upper-level)and American (lower)brackets to determinethe championship.
“Playing fourdays in arow like that, to focus onjust the volleyball forthat long, is abighelp; it’sintense,” Case said.
In addition to the 16sand 12s, Elevation teamscompeted at the 13- and14-year-old levels. TheElevation 13s finished11th nationally, while the14s competed in theAmerican bracket andearned a bronze medal.
The Elevation 15squad competed in the40th annual AAU cham-pionships in Orlando,taking 10th place.

In my youth, I always had astrong faith in those who werechosen to lead. I felt confidentin the character of Pope JohnPaul II and Ronald Reagan, aswell as Sparky Andersonman-aging the Cincinnati Reds’ “BigRedMachine.” And while myfaith was occasionally tested byevents likeWatergate, therewas always a general confi-dence that our leaders weregood people trying to do theright thing.
But now, it’s no wonderAmericans don’t trust theirgovernment anymore.
Don’t get me wrong, I cameof age politically under theshadow ofWatergate. Nixon’smisdeeds were a shockingbreach of the public trust. Itwas a time when our core faithin public institutions was fun-damentally challenged.
Yet, even as a teenager inthe 1970s, I recognized ourleaders had done wrong. Butjust as importantly, I under-stood that those who did wrongwere held responsible, and wewitnessed a standard be set.Going forward, perhaps naiv-ely, I hoped government offi-cials would be honest andtherefore trustworthy leaders,like Harry Truman who feltthat “the buck stopped” withhim.
A decade later, PresidentReagan governed on the phrase“trust but verify.” This holdstrue to the Founders’ originaldesign, with three branchesthat act as a series of checksand balances on each other,protecting from the overreachor abuse of power by one.
Now, it seems to bemarked-ly different. Today, we arefacing serious breaches of thepublic trust, each uniquelydisarming. The IRS is targetingAmericans for their politicalviews and the Department ofJustice is labeling journalists asco-conspirators, simply forexercising their First Amend-ment rights.
We in southern and south-west Ohio take pride not only inhard work, but honest work.These current scandals fly inthe face of the very principlesand ethos we stand for and liveour lives by. They insult thevalues of our military men andwomen, who take up arms todefend this country.
Every day, I amworking tofind ways to make government
smaller, moreefficient, morestreamlined,andmore re-sponsive tohardworkingtaxpayers. Weare facing agovernment sovast that thosein charge nowclaim full ac-countability is
impossible. We cannot let thevery people who support andpromote the rampant growth ofgovernment abdicate responsi-bility for scandals producedwithin this bureaucraticsprawl.
These scandals do not justchallenge our right to a freepress or a non-political taxcode; they harm the very notionof our trust in government.
Every coin and every bill weuse bears the phrase “In GodWe Trust.” Sadly, today ourtrust tends to stop there; I don’trecall hearing “In GovernmentWe Trust” very often. We cannever give up the constantvigilance required to safeguardour liberties and restore ourtrust in government. I will notgive up on the goodness of theAmerican citizen, and the possi-bility of responsibility andtrust.

Most of us must have no-ticed the large number of va-cant commercial propertiesduring the last several years.Howmany of us have consid-ered the true meaning of whatthey represent?
Briefly, they represent bro-ken dreams and shatteredhopes of business people andthe workers they had or wouldhave hired. They also representmortgages that probably havebeen unpaid and/or chargesabsorbed by financial institu-tions.
We can not just shrug ourshoulders and consider it asbad luck for others. Eventuallythose losses will affect us per-sonally. A sinking economy isalmost like a sinking ship. Some
of the luckyones are inlifeboats, buttheymay onlyoffer tempor-ary salvation.Let us skip thegrisly compari-son and try fora more pleas-ant solution.
Each joblost eventually representssomeone whomust compete forany job available. This meansthat wages do not have to bevery high to attract a worker. Itis evenmuchmore serious thanthat. Those who are luckyenough to still have jobs arewell aware of the rising pricesin the economy and they re-
quire a way to combat theirshrinking purchasing power.
Howmany of those who lostjobs or simply cannot find thestart of a career merely elect tobecome consumers on the pub-lic dole? Anyone who doesn’tthink this is personally costingthemmoney is sadly mistaken.These costs become taxes thatare eventually paid by busi-nesses, consumers and workingpeople. Either way that affectsthe well being of the public.
Until we recognize that allunpaid bills or benefits becomeour personal debts we willallow this corrupt governmentto stay in power by buying thevotes of needy people.
Now that we have looked atthe results of the silent stores,
let us etch them on our memo-ries and our consciences tounderstand what they are tell-ing us. If they could speak, wewould learn that they are vic-tims of government over-reg-ulation, imposed costs, taxesand a population unwilling totrade benefits for a startingwage that could well lead toindependence or even amuchbetter lifestyle.
As a former businessman, Ihadmany sad experiences withboth government and laborunions that ultimately led toshifting production overseas orto non-union contractors. Theyturnedmy loyal and efficientwork force from an asset into aliability. With friends like those,working folks don’t needmany
other enemies. This essay is tooshort to detail those problems,but they seriously hurt myemployees and were amajorinconvenience to me.
Suppose the government andthe unions got together withbusiness people and actuallydecided to work together toincrease employment by re-warding businesses and em-ployees for increasing job cre-ation and efficiencies. Slowlythe vacant properties wouldcome to life and people wouldput smiley faces on their win-dows. Wouldn’t that be a won-derful change from our failingandmorbid economy?

When I checkedmymail and calls this week,most of them centered onCyndiMitchell’s porcu-pinemeatballs. I had noidea this recipe was sucha beloved one. It wasactually a new one to me.
JuliaM., who is “84-plus,” saidhermommade thesefor her andher fivesiblingsmanytimes. “Herrecipe wasa littledifferent,”Julia said.Hers has
ground beef, mincedonion, baking powder,milk and uncooked reg-ular rice along with saltand pepper. She covershers with tomato soup andbakes them in the oven.
Ann Falci and her girlsEmma andMariannewere delighted to see therecipe. “An often request-edmeal. We serve it ontop of rice with extra cansof soup as ‘gravy’ andfresh parsley on top.”
I love when recipesevoke such a responseand wonderful memories– that’s what cooking is allabout.
And blueberry seasonis here. We’ll be picking atRouster’s inMilford.Check out my blog forRouster’s blueberry cob-bler with a cookie crust.
Blue ribbonblueberry muffins
Blueberrymuffins area popular fair entry. Judg-ing at the local and statelevel has givenme goodcriteria for the perfectblueberrymuffin. I’msharingmy tips for a blueribbon-winningmuffin onmy blog. Most important-ly, though, don’t overmix.The batter should belumpy. And always tossfruit or nuts with flourmixture to keep themfrom sinking. If you don’thave butter flavoring,which is in with extractsat the store, just up thevanilla to 2 teaspoons.This is adapted from ablue ribbon recipe winnerwho asked to remainanonymous.
1⁄2 stick unsalted butter,room temperature
1 cup sugar2 large eggs, roomtemperature
3⁄4 teaspoon butter flavoringextract
11⁄2 teaspoons vanilla extract2 teaspoons baking powderSeveral dashes salt2 cups all-purpose flour(whisk before measuringto lighten up and thenspoon into measuring cup,level off with knife)
2 heaping cups freshblueberries or equivalentfrozen, not thawed, nosugar added, tossed withflour used in recipe
1⁄2 cup whole milk
Preheat oven to 375degrees. Spraymuffincups or line with bakingcups. Beat butter andsugar until fluffy. Addeggs one at a time, beat-ing after each addition.Blend in extracts, bakingpowder and salt. Verygently, and by hand, foldin flour and blueberrymixture. Stir in milk.Spoon about 2⁄3 cup batterinto muffin cups (enoughto leave room for rising).Bake 22-25minutes oruntil golden brown and atoothpick inserted incenter comes out clean.Don’t over bake. Yield: 18or so regular muffins.
Tips from Rita’skitchen
Sprinkle on beforebaking: Plain sugar top-ping or 2 tablespoonssugarmixed with 1⁄2 tea-spoon cinnamon and 1⁄2teaspoon nutmeg.
How tomake store-bought blueberrymuf-finmix taste like home-made: Add some fresh orfrozen blueberries, un-thawed (a scant cup) and2 teaspoons vanilla.
Mock zucchini crabcakes
Old Bay seasoningmakes these taste a bitlike crab cakes, eventhough there’s no crab inhere. A fellow food writershared this recipe a fewyears ago. “One of mymost requested,” she said.A good way to use upwhat you knowwill be anabundance of zucchini!
2 cups packed coarselygrated zucchini, unpeeled
1 small onion, finelychopped
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs1 tablespoonmayonnaise2-3 teaspoons Old Bayseasoning
1 large egg, beaten lightlySalt and pepper to taste
Drain zucchini andonion in a colander a bit tolet some of the liquiddrain out. Combine allingredients. The texturecan be adjusted – if it’s toowet, addmore crumbs.Heat oil in skillet. Formmixture into patties andsauté overmedium highheat until golden brown,about 2 minutes per side.Makes four big or sixmedium cakes.

A woman seeking tomodify her home mort-gage ends up paying acompany that claims itcan help her.
But now, after someinvestigation, she saidshe feels deceived andwants her money back.
Deborah Spencer, ofHarrison, called herlender recently aboutgetting her home mort-gage modified. But be-fore it could be workedout she went on an out-of-state vacation withher family. “We were onvacation and I got ill. Ihad spoken with my
bankabout try-ing tomodify myloan on myhousebecause Iended upon SocialSecuritydisability,”Spencer
said.Then, while still in
the hospital, she got acall on her cell phonefrom a law firm thatsaid it would help withher loan modification. Itfaxed documents for
her to sign while shewas still on medicationand still in the hospital.It actually faxed thepapers directly to thehospital where she wasrecovering.
“I was on medicationand they were veryinsistent. They calledconstantly saying, ‘Oh,we can send everythingright over and get start-ed right away,’” shesaid.
The firm also askedher for money. “Theywanted me to give them$2,900 for a retainer.They said, ‘Well, in good
faith, just give us $1,450now,’” Spencer said.
Spencer sent themoney using her debitcard. When she re-turned home she calledher mortgage companyrepresentative who toldher he never heard ofthat law firm and ques-tioned the whole thing.The contract Spencerreceived from the com-pany said she had fivedays in which to canceland she tried to do thatimmediately, but with-out any success.
“The law firm opera-tor wouldn’t give me his
name, just said it wasRandy, and pretty muchsaid, ‘Well, we haveyour money, you’re notgoing to get your moneyback,’” she said.
But what about thecontract which says shehas five days in which tocancel? “They said itdidn’t matter,” she said.
I called but couldn’tget any answers fromthat law firm so toldSpencer to file a com-plaint with the OhioAttorney General. Shedid, and now the compa-ny has contacted herpromising to return her
money because she nev-er used the retainer.
Spencer is going torepresent herself indealing with her bankfor that mortgage mod-ification. She wants towarn everyone to becareful if you get suchan offer of assistancefrom people who claimto be with a law firm.

Pat Mahaney, severelybeaten last August inNorth College Hill by agroup of teens who saidthey were “bored,” diedJuly 12 after a suddenproblemJuly10, his broth-er, Michael Mahaney said,declining further com-ment.
Now attorneys repre-senting the teens whowere charged in the beat-ing are wondering howMahaney’sdeathmight af-fect their clients’ cases.Five of the teens have al-ready admitted to accusa-tions in Hamilton County
JuvenileCourt; somehavealready been sentenced.One teen plans to fight thecharges in a trial.
Julie Wilson, spokes-woman for the HamiltonCounty Prosecutor’s Of-fice, said Mahaney, 46,died at University of Cin-cinnati Medical Center.Wilson didn’t know whatissues caused him to be inthe hospital.
Prosecutor Joe Detershas asked County CoronerDr. Lakshmi Kode Sam-marco to perform an au-tospy. If Sammarco rulesMahaney’sdeathisrelatedto the beating, that couldaffect criminal prosecu-tions of the accused at-
tackers, Wilson said.Mike Allen, a former
HamiltonCountyprosecu-tor, said he knows of in-stances in which peoplehave faced more seriouscharges after victims diedof assault-related causes,even months or years lat-er.
ButAllenalso said, “It’san unusual situation, inthat Mr. Mahaney was notexpected to die – and thecharges were prosecutedin juvenile court.” Juve-nile court lawsdiffer fromthose in adult court, mak-ing it less clear-cut whatactionmight followMaha-ney’s death, Allen ex-plained.
