MT. HEALTHY — City councilapproved a resolution thatchanges how the city’s incometax will be collected.

Council approved moving itstax collection to the Regional In-come Tax Agency, known as RI-TA.

The city’s tax rate is 1.5 per-cent on gross wages, salaries,commissions and net profits.

This includes self-employed in-dividuals and rental propertyowners as well as residents.Taxpayers who pay the citywhere theyareemployedareal-lowedacredit up to1.25percentif wages are subject to anothercity’s tax.

City Manager Bill Kochersaid Mount Healthy collectsabout$1.3millioninincomereve-nueeachyear.Thecityhas a$4.5million budget so income tax isabout 25 percent of its revenue.

With unexpected retirementof the city’s tax commissionerSusan Law at the end of June,Kocher said how the city’s fi-nances are handled became a

priority.The city has

been transition-ing some of itsservices sincethe passage ofthe charter lastNovember. Thecharter doesn’tprovide for an

elected tax commissioner, audi-tor, treasurer or law director.

“We were going to have tomake some changes in the finan-cial area any way,” Kocher said.“Susan’s retirement forced us tostep back and look at everythingand pushed finances to the top ofthe priority list.”

Kocher said the city focusedon two areas that require timeand cause difficulty for the un-derstaffed office: taxes andwaste collection bills.

At theAug. 20meeting, coun-cil addressed both.

RITA offers comprehensivetax collection services fromregistration through litigation.The nonprofit agency providestax services for other area mu-nicipalities, such as Greenhills,Loveland and Silverton.

RITA can administer and en-force the income tax laws ofeach of the participating mu-nicipalities but each municipalcorporation retains its right to

administer and enforce its ownincome tax laws concurrentlywith the RITA board. And be-cause it gets its tax data fromthe IRS, rather than relying oncitizens to fully report, Kochersaid the tax recordswil bemoreprecise.

“This will help us identifythat everything is being collect-ed that should be,” he said.

Kocher said for most resi-dents, the biggest change willbe that theysend their taxes to adifferent address. City person-nel can handle some issues, butmost will be referred to a RITA

Arguably the best player on thefield, wasn’t.

A week into contact drills dur-ing preseason football practices atNew Richmond High School, afour-year starter and team leaderhad participated for part of onlyone practice. Not because of badgrades. Not for disciplinary rea-sons. Not even because he didn’tfeel up to playing.

Rather, he’d been held out tocomply with the law. A new Ohiorequirement – signed into law inDecember of 2012 and enacted inApril of this year – prevents play-ers with concussions from return-ing to action too soon.

This particular player took ablow to the head on the first day ofpracticeandhadyettoreceivemed-ical clearance toplay. (TheCommu-nityPressisnotnamingthestudent-athlete for privacy reasons; he hassince been cleared to play.)

“You can’t be too careful,” first-year Lions head coach Josh Strat-ton said. “He had his bell rung, for

sure.Butwith thisnewlawinOhio,anything thateven looks likeacon-cussion has to be taken off thefield, tested and cleared.

“If a player is dehydrated andgets aheadache from that and tellsa coach or a trainer, we have tohave them checked. We’ve lostsome player days to that kind ofscenario, but keeping kids safe is alot more important than sendingthemout there if they’re injuredorpotentially injured.”

The legislation known asHouseBill 143 “implements statewidestandards (for) when a young ath-lete demonstrates the signs orsymptoms of a concussion or trau-maticbrain injury,” said stateRep.Michael Stinziano (D-Columbus),one of the bill’s co-authors.

liaison for personal sup-port and help. “Councilwas clear that they don’tjustwant people to be toldtocallColumbus,”hesaid.“We want to make sureour residents don’t losethat personal support.”

Using the service coststhe city a percentage ofwhat is collected. Kocherestimated RITA will costthe city between $40,000and $50,000 annually. Us-ing the service will freeup the time of office per-sonnel to do other work inthe city.

The city hopes the RI-TA system will be up andrunning in January.

Council also approveda change in the way resi-dents will pay for waste

collection. The city has acontract with Rumpke,and has billed residentsdirectly on aquarterly ba-sis for the service. Coun-cil approved contractingwith theCityofCincinnatito send the waste billswith the Greater Cincin-nati Water Works bills ona quarterly basis.

“Again, this is not a bigchange,” Kocher said.“Residents will get billson a different day andthey will be able to payboth at the same time.”

Kocher said the citywill send out informationin thewastebillingsnews-letter that will go out inSeptember to residentsexplaining the changesandstarting theeducationprocess for residentsabout the changes.

Councilman James

Wolf said he had heardfrom some residents whoweren’t happy about thechange, but they were notat theAug. 20meeting.Hesaid most of the concernwas that Mount Healthywas contracting with Cin-cinnati. “I think therewasmore trust in our own cityhall than there was with

the City of Cincinnati orwith Hamilton County,”he said.

MountHealthyLawDi-rector Stephen Wolf saidthe city can opt out of theagreement with 60 daysnotice. Kocher said hehopes to start change forthe waste bills for thefourth-quarter billing.

Councilwoman JeanneGeorge said technically,this change only af-fectswhere thebill iscom-ing from. “We still havecontrol of the price,” shesaid.

Both ordinances wereapprovedunanimously bycouncil with a 7-0 vote.

HAMILTON COUNTY —While concussions mayget the most attentionwhen it comes to injuries,they account for just 14percentof all youthsportsinjuries (age 19 and un-der) according to a studydone by USA Today.

The study analyzedyouth sports injuries in2011 and 2012 and deter-mined the three mostcommon sports injuriesare sprains/strains, frac-tures and contusions.

When being more spe-cific, Oxford PhysicalTherapy’sLizReis said in-juries to the ankle, anteri-or cruciate ligament(ACL) and the shoulder’sare the most common in-juries she sees as a phys-ical therapist among highschool athletes.

In today’s world of ex-pensive shoes, the argu-ment has come aboutwhether or not a shoe cancause an injury. The per-ception is you see moreACL tears today than youdid 10-20 years ago whenshoesweren’tasadvanced,but Reis believes there area variety of factors thatplay into any injury.

“…There is a push for amore natural shoe,” shesaid. “From a physicaltherapist’s perspective, ifyour foot mechanics areoff, then it’s going to work

up the chain and causeproblems. … There is norhyme or reason as towhen these people are de-velopingtheseinjuries,butintheory,mostpeopleneeda good, supportive shoe.”

Reis has seen an in-crease in Iliotibial BandSyndrome, or more com-monlyknownas the ITSB,in high school athletes.Also known as “RunnersKnee,” according to run-nersworld.com it occurswhen the IT band, a liga-ment that runs down theoutside of the thigh fromthe hip to the shin, is tightor inflamed.

The problem with theinjury is it can be hiddenwith the use of anti-in-flammatories and manyathletes get back to theirrespective sport beforethe injury is fully healed.

“The injury is not somuch worrisome, but itcan be difficult to rehab,”Reis said. “The (IT band)crosses the knee, so everytimewebendourknee theband actually slips underthe bone and it’s just a re-petitive injury. Peoplejust need to give it time toheal, rest and strengthenthe other muscles.”

One trend Reis hasseen lately is an increasein hamstring strains inyoungerathletes.Therea-son is factually unknown,but Reis has her opinion.

“I think it goes alongwithpeoplegaininganun-

derstanding of stretchingand warming up,” shesaid. “Some kids as theyare going through growthspurts, their bones areelongating and the mus-cles are being forced tostretch out at the sametime. So the kids are try-ing to stretch and usingthese muscles when theyare working out, so theystart to get some strain inthe muscle. I think that iswhere a lot of these ham-

string strains are comingin as they go throughthese growth spurts.”

ACL tears, ITSB andhamstring problems arejust three of hundreds ofinjuries that occur eachhigh school sports season,but the prevention is allthe same: Rest, addingprevention and strength-ening exercises and prop-er technique top the list ofway to prevent injuries.

sionandheadinjuryinfor-mation sheet created bythe (Ohio) Department ofHealth.”

Such precautions are afar cry from from theplaying days of Univer-sity ofCincinnati orthope-distDr.AngeloColosimo–a former Bengals teamdoctor who was a highschool and college playerin his own right.

“When I played, yougot drilled, you didn’teven know where youwereandyouwentback tothehuddleandcarried theball again,”Colosimosaid.“It’s amazing where thescience has gone whenyou look at the long-termdamage of tramauticbrain injuries. It affectsyou long term. The idea isto limit that.

“You can’t play (foot-ball) without contact. Ifyouplay this game, you’regoing to get your headdinged. It’s going to hap-pen. What we’re trying todo is to limit the damagethat’s done.”

Dr. Edward Marches-chi leads The Christ Hos-pital sportsmedicine con-cussion management pro-gram and supports thenew state law.

“I think the state law isanecessarystep toensurethat people involved insports are being educatedand that our youth ath-letes are being protectedfrom suffering from a po-tentially catastrophic in-jury when the brain istraumatized from a con-cussion,” he said. “Con-cussion is a mild traumat-ic brain injury, but thereis nothing ‘mild' about it.”

Ask Loveland parentScott Schlesner, whoseson Cole took a line driveto the head in a summer-league baseball gamefour years ago, causing

traumatic brain injury.“It’s really encouraging

that there is a greatersense of awareness in soci-ety about the dangers ofhead injury,” Schlesnersaid. “Unlike a lot of otherinjuries, head injury is theone thing that nobody real-ly knows the long-termramifications, how theymay affect you, down theroad.

UC trainer Bob Man-gine, who sees patients ofall ages through Nova-care in Northern Ken-tucky and Cincinnati,agreed.

“It’s critical because ofthe long-term problemyou can develop,” he said.“If you tear an ACL, youcan fix it and it doesn’t af-fect your memory, giveyou dementia or depressyou. When you start tomess with the brain,there’s a lot of long termimplications.”

“There’s a lot moreknowledge to what hap-pens to their brains later inlife,” Anderson HighSchool trainer April Nier-mansaid.“Alotofkidsthathave gotten their bell runghave sat out a period oftime. There’s a progres-sion to comeback. It’s ape-riod of four to five days toget them to come back af-ter their symptoms aregone.”

The new law broadenstheprotectionbyrequiringstandardsforthosepartici-pating in youth sports or-ganizations not affiliatedwith the Ohio High SchoolAthletic Association.

“Ultimately, House Bill143 sets a uniformed stan-dard for concussion treat-ment in sports activitiesthroughout the entirestate, andwewill be reduc-ing the risk of sporadic en-forcement that existedpreviously,”Stinzianosaid.

SPRINGFIELD TWP. — At aschool with an unbelievableswimming tradition, one wouldthink that would translate tosuccess for the water polo pro-gram.

That hasn’t been the case inthe first two years at St. XavierHigh School, but coach MikeRobertsbelieves that trendmayhave changed in the program’sthird year of existence.

Grant House headlines agroup of freshmen whom Rob-erts expects to make an imme-diate impact. According toRob-erts, House has shattered therecord books for the CincinnatiMarlins swimteamand isoneofvery few accomplished swim-mers to participate in water po-lo.

“The first seasonwehada lotof seniors come out so we had abunch of people who had neverplayed before, which was greatbecause we had a lot of maturebodies,” Roberts said. “It wasthe same thing last year. Thisyear we have about a dozenfreshmenwitha lotofpromise.”

House, along with seniorcaptain Jake Westerkamp andgoalie Matt Doyle, has helpedthe Bombers to a 3-1 start in2013. Roberts’ squad took downWorthington Kilbourne, Sylva-nia and Napoleon, but lost to St.Charles High School at the 2013

Sprint-Off Classic at NapoleonHigh School Aug. 16-17.

Experience has a lot to dowith the early success, and thatis justwhatWesterkampbringsto the pool.

“He’s smart,” Roberts said ofhiscaptain.“Waterpoloisagamethat requires some strength,some athleticism, but maybemost of all, it requires somesmarts. Knowing when to takeadvantage of opportunities, hav-ingsomeguileandhavingplayedthree years, (Westerkamp) hasall that.”

After going 4-15 in 2011in theprogram’s first year of exis-tence, the Bombers were over.500 and made a run in the Ohiosouth regional tournament lastseason. With more experiencein 2013, Roberts likes how histeam is coming together.

“This is our third season sowe finally have someguys play-ing with experience,” he said,“which is critical in having asuccessful team.”

The 2013 season marks thefirst time where Roberts willhave guys to workwith for fouryears. With that being said, thecoach sees nothing but successfor his program in the future.

“… Water polo takes a lot ofattributes andmaybe the great-est on is experience,” Robertssaid. “To have them for fouryears, if they stay with it, willcreate one of the finest teams(at the high school level).”

St. Xavier senior Jake Westerkamp will lead the Bombers’ water poloteam in 2013.THANKS TO LUISA N. CERDA

The College of Mount St. Jo-seph is eager to start the 2013football season. When the Lionsbegin play on Sept. 7, the disap-pointing 2012 season will becompletely behind them.

Last season, theprogramfin-ished with a losing record inconference play for the firsttime since 2008 and just the sec-ond time since 2001. Five teamsfinished ahead of Mount St. Joein theHeartlandCollegiateAth-leticConference standings. TheLions’ 4-6 overall recordmarked the program’s first los-ing season since the winless2001 campaign.

“Coach Huber and the sen-iors don’t like talking about lastyear,” said senior punter GregTabar (Colerain). “We are excit-ed tomove forward.We’re play-ing with a chip on our shoulderthis year.”

This year’s squad is poised to

bring Mount St. Joe back to itswinning ways. It will be a chal-lenge, as the Lions need to re-place All-American runningback James Clay and a host ofother starters.

“A lot of spots are wideopen,” said coach Rod Huber.“We’ve got a lot of holes to fill.”

Sophomore CodyMeade willtry to replace Clay, who led the

nation in rushing with 212.4yards per game in 2012. JuniorJason Stinebaugh is the mostexperienced quarterback ontherosterandwill competewithfreshmen and transfers for thestartingnod.Hecompleted21of64 passes with four intercep-tions and zero touchdowns as abackup in 2012.

Whoever wins the startingquarterback job will have somebig targets in the passing game.6’8” junior John Peters and 6’5”senior Tyler Feine (Amelia)should win most jump ballsthrown their way.

The offensive line is led bysenior Brandon Chapman andjunior Brandon Keller. SeniorsafetyTylerElrod leads thesec-ondary, where he will be joinedby new starters at both corner-back spots. Defensive end/line-backer Adam Bigelow (Ander-son) missed all of last seasonwith a knee injury, but returns

Not far from the Cler-mont County/BrownCounty border, youngmen play on ball dia-monds that were cut intocornfields much like aKevin Costner movie.

Home to over 20 teamsat various levels, the 18and under Flash teammade up of several localhigh school players re-cently won the SummerSizzle tournament spon-sored by Michael Daly’scomplex in Hamersville.

After losing to theOak-land (Michigan) Bulldogs13-0, the 18U Flash teambattled back to win fourstraight games to win thechampionship June 30.

The group coached by-Junior Atkins beat theRBI Reds 3-2, the Ken-tucky Cobras 10-1, the Co-lumbusStorm2-1andwona rematch with the Oak-land Bullodgs 7-6 in extrainnings.

Flash players includeTylerAtkins,RussellHar-tley and Nick Marshallfrom Bethel-Tate; Bran-don Burton, Alec Gordonand Jake Velten fromGlen Este; RyanAcus, Ty-ler Luginbuhl and ChuckSunderlage fromMilford;C.J. Bowman fromSt.Xa-vier; Zane Bierman fromClermont Northeastern;Scotty Ryan from West-ern Brown and BradKirschner from Ripley.

“I’ve been coachingfour of these guys sincethey were three or four,”Atkins said.

When not at his job atHydrosystems in New-town, Atkins has watchedhis players developthrough theyouth leaguesand as an assistant undercoach Jeff Dennis.

They arguably havesome of the better facili-ties around. Summerbaseball can feature dirtinfields, bad grass and abench.Hiddenbyapeace-ful lake by Ohio 125, theFlash play on manicuredlawns with quick-dryingdirt. Crowds can sit un-dercover and if it’s reallysteamy, fans and watermisters cool them down.

“I think it’s one of thebest in Ohio,” Atkins saidof the Flash complex.“Ten fields, five lighted,all grass infields--youcan’t beat it. My son wasrecruited to play here by(owner)MikeDaly beforethis was ever built. Therewas one field and no

bleachers.”Daly saw Atkins in

New Richmond and be-fore you know it, Junior,Tyler and another playerwere heading to Daly’spropertytostartwhatwasthen a Knothole team.

“That’swhenfieldNo.1started,” Atkins said. “Hebuilt fields 2,3,4 and 5 andwhen we went from oneteam, to three teams toseven teams to14 teams to22 teams since I’ve beenhere.”

High schools have alsoused the fields that arebetter maintained thanmost school property. Byhigh school, most boyswho have played in theSouthwest Ohio Leaguehave played on a Flashfield.

Heading up the 18Ugroup, Atkins and compa-ny have played in tourna-ments in Columbus, Indi-anapolis and Tennessee.

TheHilltop Press ques-tioned NCH’s Mayor Brooksabout falsifying information toOPERS (Ohio Public Employ-ees Retirement System) inorder to boost the city man-ager’s retirement payoff.

Mayor Brooks actually hadthe nerve to say there is “noth-ing wrong” with his actions, andhe then excused this lie withmore of the same. All Brookshad to do was call OPERS, ex-plain what he wanted to do, andhe would have discovered im-mediately that it was forbidden.

Mayor Brooks tried to sug-gest that he was saving the cityof North CollegeHill money byfalsely padding his cityman-

ager’s salary to OPERS by add-ing his wife’s pay to his. This isdishonest. Before their currentemployment contract, MarkFitzgerald and Linda Fitzgeraldworked as independent contrac-tors and received no benefits.Now the city is paying at leastthe employer’s portion of hisretirement benefit based on asalary $41,000 higher than itactually is.

Apparently, Mayor Brooksthinks that the citizens ofNorth College Hill are notcapable of simple addition.Unfortunately for him, he iswrong. Some of us are quitefond of math. For instance,here is a simple equation I

came up with:the Fitzger-alds’ salariesplus new bene-fits equalsmore expensethan just pay-ing the Fitz-geralds’ sala-ries. Nice try,Mayor Brooks!

Setting theabacus aside for a minute, let’sjust talk simple morality. Ireally hope the mayor does notteach Sunday school classes orhelp people fill out their taxforms. Simply put, it is wrongto lie. It is deplorable for amayor to lie to the state in

order to boost his buddy’s pen-sion.

It is also wrong thatMayorBrooks andMark Fitzgeraldthink there is “nothing wrong”with Fitzgerald receiving statebenefits that he is not actuallyearning. If everybody in OPERShad the same dishonest andselfish attitude as NCH’s ad-ministration, the systemwouldfail. I have friends that arehard-working public servants,who do not make nearly asmuchmoney asMark Fitz-gerald, and I cringe to think thattheir retirement system couldbe compromised by such dis-honesty and greed.

In addition, council could

have and should have put astop to this. However, MayorBrooks’ party members, in-cludingMaureenMason andTerry Eilermann, endorsedthis dishonesty and greed witha 5-2 vote. I say shame onMay-or Brooks, shame onMarkFitzgerald, and shame on themayor’s friends in council.

You will notice that the votewas not unanimous; two peoplestood against these despicableactions. Cheers to Pat Hartzeland Renee Stiles for standingup and doing the right thing byvoting against it.

NCHmayor sets bad example

Jason FoleyCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Several years ago I wasteaching mythology. At thefirst class meeting I toldmy students that the nextsession they would bewatching a movie about thecreation of a god.

When the class startedthere was great anticipa-tion about what they wouldsee. It was a classic movie,filmed in 1934 in in Europe.There was great economicdistress due to World War Iand a crippling inflation.The recent election seateda charismatic ruler. Anearly scene shows a laborcamp where people arewell fed and marched towork in uniforms to a mil-itary band with shovels inplace of guns on their rightshoulders.

It shouldn’t have takenyou long to figure out thatthe country was Germany. Isaw it first in a class aboutthe Nazi film industry. Weviewed a number of films.We also learned that theNazi party had operativesstationed outside the thea-ters when the movie let out.Their job was to interviewthe patrons and to glorifyHitler and the Nazi Party.We can be certain that dis-sent would lead to trouble.

The movie shows manyscenes of an absolutelyadoring populace. Onemight wonder if thesescenes were scripted or ifthey were real. Either way,they were very effective.

There is a very impor-tant point to make. TheGerman people were verycarefully being indoctrinat-ed and controlled by theNazi Party. Free benefitssuch as camping and timeaway from school for theseexciting trips were a biginducement. Those whochose not to go were givenextra work in school withthe strictest control. Whatyoung child would not takeadvantage of this adven-ture?

It was clear to the chil-dren and their parents thatthe government provided

food andmuch neededentertain-ment. Whatwasn’t clearwas that thiswas just thebeginning ofthe govern-ment draw-ing the pop-ulation slow-

ly into enslavement to it.History has many examplesof the establishment of adictator. Many begin simi-lar to this.

The movie continueswith idolizing crowds atevery appearance of Hitler.One can only imagine thefeeling of recovery (due tothe war industry) afterlosing WWI and the greatinflation that followed.Perhaps there was hopeafter all!

Another scene has Hitlerpreparing to fly to Nurem-berg for a party rally. Wesee him entering the planewith two generals. Themovie shows the shadow ofthe plane over the city. Theimage of a cross is not acci-dental. Later we see Hitleraddressing the party faith-ful in Stuttgart as the greatorator he was. Leni Reifen-stahl, the cinematographerhas him encircled with ahalo. At that point, many inmy class were gasping inwonder.

Yes, Hitler was regardedby many as a God. Perhapshe began to believe it him-self. We all know wherethis led the German people.Is it possible that a leaderhere could yield to thesame self delusion? Couldthe Constitution be sub-verted to create a dictator-ship? Benjamin Franklinwarned of this. The movieis “Triumph of the Will” itis available at the librarywith English subtitles.

Aug. 21questionShould the U.S. continue to pro-

vide financial and military aid toEgypt following the military'soverthrow of its democraticallyelectedgovernmentand its deadlyattack on protesters?

“I’mglad you asked that ques-tion since President Obama hasabsolutelynoideawhattodoinallof the Middle East, let aloneEgypt.

“AsEgyptburnsandthousandsdie inthestreets,ourpresidenten-joyed another round of golf onMartha’sVineyard.Now that he isback to work in the Oval Officewe’d expect him to roll up hissleeves and get to work on theseurgent problems.

“But no, he’s planning a bustour to visit his rah-rah sup-porters who will dutifully swoonat his every word of sarcasm to-wards Congress while totally ig-noringtheMiddleEastandall theother REAL problems he prom-ised to solve in his first term.

“For me to suggest what ‘the

U.S.’ should do is pointless sincethere is a wide gulf betweenAmerica’s goals and whatevergoals Barack Obama, formerSecretary of State Hillary Clin-ton and now Secretary of StateJohn Kerry have in mind forEgypt, etc.

“Obama supported the over-throw of former Egyptian Presi-dent Hosni Mubarak and the in-stallationofPresidentMorsiwhoreplaced Mubarak through whatwere believed to be free elec-tions.

“That Morsi, a dedicatedmemberofthewell-knownterror

group,TheMuslimBrotherhood,immediately set about renegingon his election promises and pro-ceeded to suspend freedoms andconstitutional law inorder to cre-ateaShariaLawcaliphatecannotbe ignored.

“Perhaps Obama is sympa-thetictowardsMorsihavingdeeppersonal feelings of his own re-garding broken campaign prom-ises.”

“Why is theU.S. givingmoneytoanyone– foranyreason–whenwe can’t pay our own bills???”

J.K.“I see no reason to give Egypt

any money for anything. If theyare our friends I sure don't wantto know our enemies.

“None of those countries haveanything good for America, theyare questionable at best and Iwould divorcemyself from all ofthem. How many times does thehandhave tobebittenbeforeyoustay away from the dog?”

Cleaning out the freez-er is never an easy task. Idon’t know how I accu-mulate so much food inthere! I ran across acontainer of sour pie

cherriesthe otherday fromlast yearand knew Ihad to dosomethingwith them,and fast.So I madethis cherrycobbler.This is

really delicious eatenwarmwith a dollop ofwhipped cream or icecream and perfect forthat Labor Day gather-ing.

Cherry or berrycobbler

I have made this withblueberries, blackberriesand raspberries. Justabout any fruit is good.After baking the batterrises up, surrounding theberries.

6 tablespoons butter1 scant cup flour2 teaspoons baking powder3⁄4 cup sugar2⁄3 cupmilk2 generous cups cherries orberries (I used sour piecherries)

Preheat oven to 375degrees. In an 8-inchsquare or 2-quart bakingdish, melt butter in oven.Carefully remove and setaside. Whisk flour, bak-ing powder and sugartogether. Add milk andstir until just combined.Pour batter into meltedbutter but don’t stir. Addcherries. Bake 30-40minutes or until cakeportion is golden andberries exude juices.

Readers want toknow

7-Up Cake: For clar-ification on DianeByrne’s recipe that Ipublished, the pudding isone 1 oz. box. It is a pack-age contain four serv-ings. Check out my blogfor more recipes.

Cherry bounce: Howmuch bourbon? Enoughto cover the cherries byan inch or so. Some read-ers use vodka, rum orgrain alcohol. The con-tainer should be glass,since it’s not air-perme-able, with a tight lid.Canning jars work well.A reader wants to use asugar substitute. I sug-gested Splenda, but havenot tried it.

Tips from readers’kitchen

Greyhound Restau-rant’s pasta Gabrielle:Thanks to the readerswho reminded me aboutthis previously publishedrecipe that MaryAnn B.wanted. It’s on my blog.

Can you help?Poor man’s lobster: I

didn’t catch the reader’sname, but she is cravingthis dish. “It’s made withcodfish that you cook inwater seasoned withperhaps butter, salt andother ingredients. Afterit’s cooked, you servewith drawn butter. Iwould love to have arecipe similar to the oneI lost.”

Twin Trolley’s BBQ:For Carol E., who lovedthe sandwich of this now-closed and, I might add,much-loved restaurant.If you have a similarrecipe, please share.

Manyet’s Bakerycheesecake: Anotherrequest from this pop-ular bakery, which was inNewport and now closed.For Pat B. “They had acheesecake like no otherI have ever had that wasreally great. If in anyway you can find thatrecipe, I would surelyappreciate it!”

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Freezing herbs in oilfor sauteing: Actually Igot this from Amy Tobinwhen I was a guest onher radio show. For nicesauté oil that you canfreeze, pour olive oil intoice cube trays and add a

thin layer of your favor-ite herb(s).

Do you know the bestway to protect yourselfwhen receiving a largecheck?

One woman says shewishes she knew be-cause her check wasstolen and cashedmonths ago – and she’sbeen unable to recoverthe money.

Earlier this year,Heather Weismann ofDelhi Township got acash advance for morethan $500. But beforeshe could cash it, thecheck was stolen fromher parked car. “When Igot back to my car itwas missing. So I calledthe place that wrote thecheck to see if it wascashed. The next day itwas cashed and itwasn’t even signed byme,” Weismann said.

Weismann got a copyof the check and foundalthough she had notsigned the back of it,someone else forged hersignature before getting

it cashed.“Theyforged myname andthen thebank al-lowedthem tocash thecheckwithoutme being

present,” Weismannsaid.

After doing a lot ofinvestigating on herown, Weismann deter-mined the person whocashed the check had anaccount at that bank –and that person’s bankaccount number waswritten on the back ofthe check.

Weismann contactedthe bank, which notifiedthe check casher. “Thebank manager hadcalled them and said,‘You’re supposed tobring the money back.’She said, ‘Well, HeatherWeismann signed the

check over to me and Ihave witnesses,’” Weis-mann said.

But Weismann hadalready filed a policereport alleging the per-son who cashed thecheck is a thief. Despiteall this, Weismann stilldidn’t have her moneyback, which causedmajor problems.

“I haven’t been ableto pay certain of mybills so I have late feescoming – and my per-sonal account basicallyis horrible. I can’t use itright now because ofthis,” she said.

Based on the infor-mation she’s uncovered,Weismann said she be-lieves police should ableto find the thief andtake action.

“They forged a checkand stole a check. Theycashed a check. Alto-gether that’s threethings against this per-son. They need to payfor what’s happened,”

Weismann said.I contacted the bank

and, following an in-vestigation, the bankreturned the more than$500 to Weismann plusmoney to reimburse herfor the overdraftcharges she incurred. Aspokesman for the bankagrees this appears tobe theft. The bank hasturned over its findingsto the Cincinnati PoliceDepartment.

So protect yourselfwhenever you get acheck by immediatelywriting on the back,“For Deposit Only.”There’s no need to signit, just put it in yourbank as soon as pos-sible.

The Red Rose pizzeriaand Italian restaurant isset to open in College HillAug. 30 at 5915 HamiltonAve..

College Hill’s newestrestaurateurs are homegrownCincinnatiansbackfrom a five-year “adven-ture” running their res-taurant in Panama CityBeach, Fla.

Mary Mulford, owner,head cook andbottlewash-er is a graduate of Green-hills High School and theUniversity of Cincinnati.

She says the family’sgoal is to make the fresh-est, best tasting food thatwe can at an affordableprice.

“Mostofourfood itemsare prepared in housewith our own unique reci-pes using the freshest in-gredients possible,” shesaid. “What we do notmake in-house, we use lo-cal family businesses tofill in the blanks.”

A few of the local com-panies they will use areNorthCollegeHillBakeryfor buns, desserts andFrench bread, Joe Lasitaand Sons as food distribu-tor and College Hill Cof-fee Co. for the specialtycoffee blend of the week.

Mulford saysRedRoseis a true familyaffairwitha lot of local ties.

Fred Jacobs, Mary’shusband, is greeter, wait-er and talker.

HeisagraduateofWyo-ming High School and theUniversity of Pittsburgh –with a 1976 national cham-pionship ring for footballto prove it.

Both of Mary’s daugh-ters, Sidney and Ella, areWinton Woods HighSchool graduates. SidneyMulford is the generalmanager and cook. EllaMulford-Chinn handlessocial media, and her son-in-law Devin Chinn ishouse DJ and officialmanager of the night lifeat the restaurant.

The entire familymoved to Panama CityBeach in 2008 to purchasea pre-existing pizzeria,Red Rose, on the beach.They kept the name andadded the acronym JEMS

-- the initials for Jane(grandmother) Ella, Maryand Sidney. So committedwere they, the girls hadJEMS tattooed on theirbacks!

After their PanamaCity Beach lease expired,they decided to comeback home and bring therestaurantwith them.Ma-ry says the College Hillcommunity has a strongconnection and vision.

“So we were and arevery excited to be a partof the growing and rede-veloping of the businessdistrict of College Hill,”she said.

The Red Rose menufeatures a four-item sidesalad, dinner salads andlarge specialty salads;homemade soups; tradi-tional Italian and nontra-ditional appetizers; sides;Italian dishes such as la-sagna, spaghetti, meat-balls, fettuccine Alfredoand calzones – and, ofcourse, their specialty,thin-crust pizza in almostevery size, including spe-cialty pizzas found only atRed Rose.

Red Rose featureslunch and dinner menus –and offers the added en-tertainment of an oldschool pinball machineand an 80’s PacMan with60 other games included.

When it comes tonight-life, Mary says Red Roseoffers a unique focus onthe DJ art form of spin-ning records.

“Thiswill be an experi-enceof listening, viewing,sharing and communicat-ing the art of mixing mu-sicderivedfromvinylhis-tory, complete with an in-teractive live streamingweb page performed atthe bar side of the restau-rant,” she said. “Specialguest DJs will performtheir unique art form, andannual DJ battles willcompete at the restau-rant.”
