Senior holiday social Dec. 13
Their presents to the com-munity this holiday seasonwillbe their presence.
TheFranciscanFriarsof theFranciscan Province of St.John the Baptist will open a“marketplace space,” whichwill provide harried shopperswith a place to rest in the peaceof Christ as they prepare forthe holidays.
The friars plan to share theGospel by providing a Francis-can presence of warmth andwelcome in the “marketplace”during the busy holiday sea-son. Friars from the provincewill be on hand at the North-gate Mall on evenings andweekends through Dec. 24.
“We are hopeful that ourpresence at the mall will be abit of a reminder of the realreason for the season,” said theRev. Dan Anderson, whoserves as the secretary of theprovince. “Just a place ofpeace and conversation.” Hesaid there will be a bowl insidethe storefront where peoplecanwritedown their prayer re-quests and receive prayer dur-ing the hustle and bustle of theseason.
Brother Gene Mayer, theguardian of the shrine at the St.Anthony Shrine in Mount Airy,andAnderson spearheaded theeffort to open the space. Theysaid the Rev. Jeffrey Scheeler,the provincial minister of theProvince of St. John the Bap-
tist, had seen chapels in mallsin upstate New York and hethought the idea could work inCincinnati.
So the Franciscans rolled uptheir robe sleeves and went towork. Northgate Mall helpedmake the space available, theBrothers began the work oftransforming a former showstore into a welcoming envi-ronment for world-wearyshoppers.
They are hoping shopperswill stop by for a cup of coffeeor cocoa and take a few min-utes to relax or pray with theFranciscans. The Adventspace is near near Macy’s in-side entrance.
The space will be open andthere will be volunteer friarson hand 10 a.m.-9 p.m.; Satur-days 10 a.m.-9 p.m.; Sundaysnoon-6 p.m. Mondays throughFridays, the space will be openfrom noon to 3 p.m. includingChristmas Eve, which is Tues-day, Dec. 24.
On Friday, Nov. 29, BishopJoseph Binzer took a shift.
The space will be welcom-ing and peaceful, Mayer said.He and Anderson cleaned upthe store area, and thenwent towork to give is an atmosphereof peace. They were planningto hang posters that show someof the work done by the Fran-ciscans and have chairs andplaces for people to come andrelax.
Soft lighting and gentleChristmas music will set themood of the space. The friars,
who will wear their familiarbrown robes, will be available,but not pushy.
“We are not proselytizing,and we don’t want to bechurchy or preachy,” Ander-son said. “But we do want to in-crease our visibility and havesome information out aboutwhat we do.”
Mayer said the friars haveno idea how the space will beaccepted by shoppers, but hehopes they stop in and give it achance to remind them of thereal reason for the season.
“Weare really curious to seehow people will use the space,”Anderson said. “We don’t real-ly have any preconceivedideas.”
The Advent wreath is a symbol of the weeks of anticipation leading up to the birth of Christ in the churchcalendar. During the season of Advent, one candle on the wreath is lit each Sunday as a part of the Adventservices. Each candle represents an aspect of the spiritual preparation for the coming of Christ.JENNIE KEY/THE

TheColerain TownshipGateway Memorial Parkhas provided an focalpoint in the commercialarea for the township, butits design has been no-ticed by groups outsidethe community as well.
The Ohio Parks andRecreation Associationhas awarded a secondplace award in Park De-velopment for the Cole-rain Township Parks andServices Department’swork on the Gatewaypark.
TheColerain TownshipGateway Park is the cen-terpiece of a renaissanceoccurring along the cen-ter of the township’s com-mercialdistricton thesiteof the former BP gas sta-
tion.Public Services Direc-
tor Kevin Schwartzhoffsaid the project is the ini-tial implementationphaseof a streetscape masterplan and economic devel-opment project.
The township is look-ing for amore pedestrian-oriented and appealingidentity and is working topromote therevitalizationof commercial propertiesalong the corridor.
It was a long time com-ing. Concurrent to thestreetscape master plan,the community also iden-tified the need for anarmed forces and first re-sponder memorial and aMemorial Committeewasformed to consider loca-tions.
The gateway projectgained traction as a possi-
ble first respondermemo-rial park after the deathsof two Colerain Townshipfirefighters in 2008. In2011, veteran groups ap-proached the townshipwanting to be part of theproject, and the GatewayPark was selected as thepreferredsitebasedon itshigh visibility and centrallocation within the town-ship’s commercial core.
“This memorial gate-way is a symbol of the re-vitalization of the North-gate area as well as a trib-ute to themen andwomenthat have served and paidthe ultimate pricethroughpublic and/ormil-itary service,” said FrankBirkenhauer, ColerainTownship assistant ad-ministrator and economicdevelopment director.
Birkenhauer said thememorial corner is notonly one of the busiest in-tersections in ColerainTownship but the entireTristate area.
“The purchase of thedilapidated, vacant, BPGas Stationwas one of thefirst investments in thearea around NorthgateMall that was the sparkthat triggered the greatthings that are underwaytoday,” he said.
The awards are judgedby a panel of parks and
recreation professionalsfrom around Ohio.
“Parks and recreationprofessionals throughoutOhio work every day toimprove thequality of lifeof the people they serve,”OPRAExecutiveDirectorWoody Woodward said ina release about theawards. “This project is ashining example of that
kind of work, and we arepleased to be able to pre-sent this award.”
The township has re-ceived awards in the pastfromOPRA for other pro-jects, including ClippardPark and Heritage Parkon East Miami RiverRoad. “Our facilities havebeen recognized for theirquality,” Schwartzhoff
said.He said hewas pleased
withhowthegatewaypro-ject turned out.
“It’s a nice award, butwhat I am really pleasedabout is how this projectis part of redevelopmentat the mall,” he said.“Things are happeningthere.”
Gateway park gets state award
The Colerain Township Gateway Memorial was dedicated in May and received a 2nd placeaward from the Ohio Parks and Recreation Association this year.

“We have an outstandinggroup of seniors who can helpus excel as a team (and) as oneof thetop in thecity.Welookfor-ward to what this group ofyoung wrestlers can do for usand themselves for the upcom-ingseason.We lookfor this tobeColerain’s best year on themat.”
The Cards begin the marchtowards state Dec. 7 at the Har-risonDualsTournament atHar-rison High School.
La SalleIf Lancer coach Avery Zer-
kle can transition his younggroup of wrestlers from the ju-niorhighmats to thehighschoolcircle, it could be a special yearfor the school on North BendRoad.
Hisroster featuressix juniorhigh state tournament placersand a transfer from Louisvillewho’s placed third in the Ken-tuckystate tournamentback-to-back seasons.
Freshman Corey Shie willwrestle at 120 pounds after fin-ishing runner-up in the statetournament last season.
“Corey is one of the best ofthe best,” Zerkle said. “He’s oneof the best freshmen in the
country.Hedefinitelyhasashotatmaking state, and placing topsix is his goal.”
Junior John Shirkey willwrestle at 132 after spendingthe first two years of his highschool career in Kentucky.
“He’s very talented,” Zerklesaid. “There’s a big jump fromKentucky to Ohio and he knowsthat, but we’re definitely tryingto slip him in the top four (in thestate). That’s our goal for him.”
In the106-poundweightclassthere is a battle between sopho-mores Jared Thiemann andSam Krieder, along with fresh-man Eric Beck, for the varsityposition. One of the three whodoesn’t fill the 106-slot will like-ly move up to 113.
Rocco Sams – another fresh-man –will start at126,while fel-low freshmanHunter Perdue isat 138.
Seniors Eric Auberger (160pounds), Joe Krieder (170) andRobertOverbeck (285)will lookto provide the leadership forthis young group.
“I’m looking for a little bit ofleadership from the older guys,but these younger guys comingin have been wrestling theirwhole lives and they have thecredentials and they’ve beenbattled tested,” Zerkle said.“They are freshmen, so I knowthere are going to be a coupleweekendswhere they are goingto struggle, but throughout theseason I think we have three or
four freshmen that can makethe state tournament.”
The Lancers make that pushtoward the state tournamentstartingNov. 30at theYorktownDuals Tournament.
Mt. HealthySenior David Kuhlmann
headlines coach Stephen But-ler’s roster. Kuhlmann was adistrict alternate last season af-ter posting a 28-8 recordwith 23pins last season at 138 pounds.This season he is projected towrestle at 145.
“His biggest thing he’s beenworking on is (the) neutral (po-sition),” Butler said. “Now he isattacking more at the neutralposition and that is somethinghe didn’t have last year. … Nowwehave to be able to attackpeo-ple from the neutral positionand take people down and getthat first takedown and be up2-0 and work from there.”
Junior Brian Pringle was anAll-Southwest Ohio ConferenceHonorable Mention selectionlast season at 182, and will stepup to 195 this season.
Fellow junior Danny John-son is expected to be a force at170,whileKe’EryonDeal entersthe lineup at heavyweight.
William Darling is Butler’s160-pound wrestler after spot-starting on varsity last season,but spending themajorityof theseason with the junior varsitysquad.
As far as the lightweightspots go, Aaron Bray and Ma-moudou Diallo will fill the 106-and 113-pound positions.
“From top to bottom weshould be pretty solid,” Butlersaid. “It will probably be one ofthe most complete squads thatI’ve had.”
NorthwestJunior Julian Daniels head-
lines coach Nicholas Maffey’sroster.
Daniels is a two-time districtqualifier (last season at 152pounds)whohas50-pluswinsonhis record. He currently holdsthe school record for most nearfalls and will look to expand onthatrecordoverhis tworemain-ing seasons at Northwest.

Nov. 27 questionThe Ohio House has passed
a bill which would redefineself-defense and circum-stances where the use of forcetrumps the duty to retreat topublic settings, such as storesand streets. Under current law,residents need not retreatbefore using force if they arelawfully in their homes, vehi-cles or the vehicle of an imme-diate family member. Is thisgood legislation?Why or whynot?
“A person should have theright to protect themselvesno matter the location. I donot have a problem withOhio expanding the current“stand your ground” laws topublic settings outside thehome and car. However Iwould sure hope that thesepublic places have securityin place that could supersedeor alleviate the need to standthat ground. I prefer not tobe the hero but I also feel aneed for survival for me andmy family etc. Go Figure!”
T.D.T.
“No, it’s not a good idea.This law would not be closeto necessary if white peopleweren’t so prejudiced andparanoid that non-whiteindividuals (anyone withbrown or darker skin) werecriminals. Look what ‘standyour ground’ in Florida didto TrayvonMartin.”
TRog
“Oh boy...this is a goodtopic. The duty to retreat inpublic areas when imminentthreats are posed is by na-ture is to ‘duck and retreat’of a human being.
“But some circumstances,standing the ground no mat-ter where you are as a con-cealed carrying citizen is notgoing to be an option to re-treat. You have to act quick-ly as any trained police offi-cer will have to act.
“Yes, Ohio legislation tochange this is right on. Crim-inals won’t think twice abouttaking deadly actions toanyone, and every citizenhas the right to defend.”
O.H.R.
“Already these bills havecaused deaths. Since the guywho murdered TreyvonMar-tin in Florida pulled his gunon his own girlfriend, somefolks have been able to putthis issue in slightly betterfocus. And aMichigan caserecently decided against aperson who shot a strangerin the face, apparently forcoming to his door and ask-ing for some sort of help. Wewill apparently never know.
“Ninety-eight out of every100 gun deaths is accom-plished with a gun which waspurchased by the deceased,a family member or a friend.The gun lobby has utterlyfailed to make good on theirpromise to use education torein in this carnage.
“Controlling guns doesn’tmean making them inacces-sible. Laws like this justmake ignorant people thinkit is OK to blast first and askquestions later. (We alreadyhave also had a shooting in aschool, resulting from achild being ‘silly’ with asecurity guard’s gun. Wasn’tthat a bright idea - put gunsin the schools!)”

The upcoming holiday sea-son means celebrating joy withthe people you cherish. Thosefestive gatherings can also bean opportune time for familymembers to notice troublingsigns of aging in their parentsor grandparents.
Sadly, an American devel-ops Alzheimer’s disease every68 seconds, affecting nearlyone in nine adults over the ageof 65.
In fact, the U.S. populationis gradually aging, and sincethe risk for Alzheimer’s in-creases with age Ohio is esti-mated to reach 250,000 Alz-heimer’s cases by 2025, accord-ing to the Alzheimer’s Associa-tion (www.alz.org).
Althoughthere is cur-rently no cure,no preventionand no way toslow down thedisease, earlydetection canimpact qualityof life. Asfamilies returnhome for theholidays, or
visit parents and grandparentsout-of-town, caretakers andadult children should be vigi-lant of the 10 early signs andsymptoms of Alzheimer’s dis-ease and other forms of de-mentia.
1. Be aware of warning
signs that disrupt daily life,such as: Late notices fromutility companies or othermonthly recurring bills stack-ing up.
2. Forgetting a familiarfamily recipe could be a signof challenges in planning orproblem solving.
3. Difficulty completingfamiliar tasks, like getting to afamily member’s house.
4. Confusion with time orplace, such as: If they don’tunderstand that Thanksgivingdinner is happening or forgethow they got to dinner.
5. Difficulty reading, judg-ing distance and determiningcolor contrast. This shouldn’tbe confused with typical age-
related vision changes relatedto cataracts.
6. Repeating himself orherself, or forgetting whatthey were talking about in themiddle of conversation.
7. Misplacing everydayitems in unusual places.
8. Poor judgment in dealingwith money or paying lessattention to grooming or keep-ing themselves clean.
9. Withdrawal from socialsituations, like avoiding holi-day celebrations altogether.
10. Clear signs of anxiety,urgency, agitation, paranoia orappearing confused about hisor her surroundings.
If you notice a loved oneexperiencing these symptoms,
it’s important to encouragethem to see a doctor immedi-ately. Once signs of dementiaare detected, a complete med-ical and neuropsychologicalevaluation is needed. Deter-mining the severity of thecondition is critical for futuretreatment.
The holidays are a specialtime for families to come to-gether. I encourage you to alsouse it as a time to check-in onaging loved ones and assess ifthey may need help. It could bethe best holiday gift you give.

If summoned for jury duty,you are assigned either to aregular jury or a grand jury.
On regular (also called “pet-it”) jury duty you could beselected for a criminal or civilcase. In a grand jury, however,a group of citizens hears onlycriminal cases and decides ifsomeone will have to face trialfor a felony offense. A felonyis a crime that is punishable byat least one year in prison.
In Hamilton County, thegrand jury meets in the prose-cutor’s office, not at the court-house. The grand jury listensto testimony and examinesevidence presented only by theprosecution before decidingwhether to return an indict-ment. An indictment is merelya formal charge; it still must beproven beyond a reasonabledoubt at trial before a defen-dant can be convicted.
When the prosecutor pre-sents a case, only the testifyingwitness and the grand jurorsare in the room. After the lastwitness testifies, the prose-cutor and witness exit theroom so the jurors can deliber-
ate and vote.Defendantsmay request totestify, butrarely do so.
Nine grandjurors vote oneach case andeach charge.Before votingto indict, thegrand jurorsmust find
probable cause that: 1, a crimewas committed, and 2, that theaccused committed the crime.At least seven of the ninegrand jurors must agree thatthere is sufficient evidence toreturn an indictment.
A common phrase suggeststhat a prosecutor can convincea grand jury to indict a “hamsandwich” because of the proc-ess’s one-sided nature. Myprior experience as a prose-cutor makes me disagree. Al-though a few prosecutors mayabuse the system, most prose-cutors have no interest in pur-posely indicting cases thatwould be hard to try.
Moreover, I have observed
that grand jurors, like regularjurors, are independent, seri-ous about their duties, and noteasily persuaded to indict anobviously weak case.
A unique and importantaspect of grand jury service isthe oath of secrecy. The oath ofsecrecy covers the entiregrand jury proceeding and ispermanent. A regular jurormay discuss a case publiclyafter a verdict is announced inopen court, but a grand jurormust keep the proceedingssecret forever unless orderedotherwise by a judge.
Both grand jury and regularjury service last for two weeksin Hamilton County. If selectedfor grand jury, you will hearapproximately 50 cases eachweek. In comparison, mostregular jurors sit on only oneor two cases at most. Perhapsits unique process makes mostpeople who have served onboth regular and grand juriesprefer grand jury service.

Fifty-one million childrenare born around the worldeach year, who on paper don’texist.
These children – almost allof whom are girls – are notregistered at birth, a criticalfirst step in ensuring theirrights. Being recognized bytheir governments is neces-sary for determining identity,citizenship, proof of parent-age and age, as well as allow-ing access to services such aseducation and health care.Without this recognition, ob-taining a passport, a driver’slicense, or a national identifi-cation card is impossible.
The lack of documentationis especially detrimental towomen as it may keep themfrom fully participating insociety, increasing the risk ofearly marriage, slave labor,recruitment into militantgroups, or sex trafficking.
As chairman of the HouseSubcommittee on Asia and thePacific, I’ve had the opportu-nity to travel to some of themost remote and impover-ished countries around theworld. My visits to these coun-tries have revealed a starkdifference in the treatment ofgirls and boys. In some coun-tries, there is a fundamental
lack of respectfor the lives ofyoung girls.While we can’tnecessarilyrepair a cul-tural mindsetthrough legis-lation or aid,we can help tofind a solutionto this trou-bling problem
and begin to bring these un-documented children out ofthe shadows.
I recently introduced bipar-tisan legislation called theGirls Count Act, which wouldauthorize the U.S. State De-partment to work with othercountries, internationalgroups, and faith-based or-ganizations to support effortsto issue more birth certif-icates and implement nationalregistries for children in de-veloping countries.
In many areas of the world,the absence of formal identifi-cation systems has led to thecreation of sophisticated childtrafficking networks. Forexample, in Togo, West Africa,55 percent of children bornannually are not registered atbirth. As a result, according toa study by the World Associa-
tion for Orphans-Africa, morethan 300,000 Togolese chil-dren between the ages of fiveand 15 have been taken fromtheir homes and sent to workin foreign countries or distantcities as unpaid—or, at best,extremely low-paid – domes-tic or agricultural laborers.Legally recognized forms ofidentification can strengthenthe capability of the police tomonitor and control nationalborders and help prevent thistype of trafficking.
Our government certainlyhas challenges, both interna-tionally and domestically, butthe American flag is stillviewed as a symbol of hope,freedom, and opportunity bybillions of people globally. Oursingle greatest export isn’t thebillions in aid we send aroundthe world, it is the idea thateveryone is born free andequal. This bipartisan legisla-tion represents a step towardsensuring that every young girleverywhere in the world isafforded those same basichuman rights.

When he’s not operating theDuke Holiday Trains, Goinsserves as the president of Day-ton’s Miami Valley S-Gaugers, aclub that collects and assemblesS-Gauge model trains. Lookingfor an example of an S-Gaugelayout? Cincinnati MuseumCenter’s Cincinnati in Motionexhibit in theCincinnatiHistoryMuseum is the largest S-gaugelayout in the country.
Goins’s love for trains isshared bymany, both young andold. So what advice can he offerto young train enthusiasts?“Don’t get discouraged,” hesays. “Layouts take time. Learnas much as you can about deco-rating and study Holiday Junc-tion’s displays every year,they’ve done it right.”
Gayl RotschingELMWOOD PLACE
Gayl Rotsching’s love affairwith trains started at an earlyage.
He received his first modeltrain when he was just 7-years-old and set up a display in hisbasement shortly after. Year af-ter year he added to his display,envisioning a setup like the onehe saw downtown at the thenCincinnati Gas & Electric Com-pany every winter.
“My display, of course, nevermatched up to the one down-town,” Rotsching jokes.
After graduating from col-lege, Rotsching earned a full-time job with CG&E. Whetherthe job choice was driven by fi-nancial factors or the opportuni-ty to work for the company thathoused and displayed the trainsevery holiday season is up fordebate. When the opportunityarose for him to care for thetrains he jumped aboard andnever lookedback.More than25years later Rotsching can’timagine spending time doinganything else.
“This railroad has a rich his-tory,” he says, “but I also like thestories of the people I get tomeet during the holiday season.It’s not unusual to see three gen-erations of family membershere and I enjoy getting to knowthem.”
Robert PerrinCHEVIOT
Like so many children, Rob-ert Perrin developed an interestin trains at a young age. His
grandparents livedwithin walk-ing distance of theWinton Placetrain station where he wouldspend his summers watchingthe trains arrive and depart.
Whenhegotoldenoughhesetup train displays in his base-ment like theDukeEnergyHoli-day Train display he saw down-town each winter. The trains inhisbasementbecamereal trainswhen,asanadult,hebeganworkas an equipment operator for lo-cal railroads, a jobheheld for 30years.
For the past six years he’sgone back to the smaller trainshe fell in lovewith as a child, be-coming a trainmaster with theDuke EnergyHoliday Train dis-play. He followed those trainsfrom their location downtown toCincinnati Museum Centerwhere theyarecelebrating theirthird year in their new home.
His favorite part about beinga trainmaster?
“Getting tosee thekids’ faceslight up when they see thetrains,” Perrin says.
The face that lights up mostmay be his own.
“Well, I also lovebeingable tocontrol the layout,” says the kidinPerrin. “It’s justsoneat.WhenI would go down to CG&E as akid, I’d look at the trains and Iwanted to put certain trains ondifferent tracks,” he says. “I
couldn’t do that then, but now Ican.”
Clem ScovannerMONTGOMERY
Clem Scovanner has been atrain enthusiast for as long as hecan remember. When he was 3-years-old his grandpa took himto see the Duke EnergyHolidayTrains for the first time. Eventhen he knew that theywere nottoys andwas impressed by theirdetail and level of craftsman-ship.
“OnethingInoticedabout theDuke Trains, even at a youngage, is that they are differentand lookbetter thanothermodeltrains,” Scovanner says. “Theproportions are better and theyhave better details. That stuff’simportant.”
As he grew up he began tobuild his own train displays athome. Today he still builds andrepairs train parts, and he en-joys every minute of it. “I feellucky that I get to work on theDukeTrains,” he says, an oppor-tunity he’s had for the past threeyears. “I’m happy they’ve cometo theMuseumCenterso they’restill around for others to enjoy.”
When Clem Scovanner isn’trepairingtheDukeEnergyHoli-day Trains you might catch himhanging out at Cincinnati inMo-
tion in the Cincinnati HistoryMuseum, making sure all themechanical parts in the displayare working properly. It helpssatisfy his love affair year-round. But his heart will alwaysbelong to theDukeEnergyHoli-day Trains.
Jack ThompsonCOVINGTON
Have a question about theDuke Energy Holiday Trains?Just ask Jack Thompson. He’sbeen working on the HolidayTrain display for the last 68win-ters, or, more precisely, sincethey started.
He started out as a mechanicfor theCincinnatiGas&ElectricCo. (though his friends joke thathe was with CG&E before theyadded the E) and beganwork onthe Holiday Train display soonafter. There are at least threebuildings on the display, whichThompson built himself, thatbear his first name, a traditionamong early trainmasters.
He’s been keeping watchover those buildings and thetrains that run by them for thepast 68 years and counting.Aside from a cold winter in Ko-rea when he served in the Kore-an War, Jack hasn’t missed ayear. So what keeps him comingback?
“The kids,” Thompson says.“I love watching them grow upand then bring their own chil-dren back.”
He’sseenitfirst-hand.Hehasmore than 20 grandchildren andgreat-grandchildren whose par-ents,oncesomeofthewide-eyedchildren that flocked to thetrains every year, are continu-ing that tradition by bringingthem to visit at Cincinnati Mu-seum Center each holiday sea-son.
For many though, Thompsonis as much a part of the holidaytrains as the iconic trains them-selves. There’s a joke amongsthis fellow trainmasters thatmore people come to see Jackthan come to see the trains. Andwith a life-size cutout ofThomp-son helping point the way to thetrains, there may be some truthto that.
Clayton HillardAMELIA
Clayton Hillard’s passion fortrains started when his grand-mother took him on a trip down-town to see the Duke EnergyHoliday Trains. He was just 4-years-old and it was his firsttime viewing the display.
“There I sat, probably formore than three hours,” Hillardsays, “whilemygrandmasat be-hind me, watching too. I wasamazed by the running trainsand by the detail of the layout.”
In the 50 winters since thenHillard has been a regular visi-tor,missing the trains only once.
It was always a dream ofHil-lard’s to become a trainmaster,andwhen the opportunity to vol-unteer at Cincinnati MuseumCenter twoyears ago he jumpedonboard.
“Tobeatrainmasteryouhaveto have a love and passion fortrains,” he says. “And you haveto have an understanding of thehistoric nature of this particularlayout and railroad.” Havingvisited the trains regularly for50 years, Hillard has lived andrecognizes the history of theDuke Energy Holiday Trains.“It’s not easy,” he says, “but it’sfun.”
Dick ClineFor the past three yearsDick
Cline has been a trainmaster fortheDukeEnergyHolidayTrainsat Cincinnati Museum Center.His relationship with the iconicholiday trains is much longer,however.
“As a kid, I remember visit-ing them back when they wereset up on Fouth and Vine insidethe Cincinnati Gas & Electricbuilding,” he says. “Thosemem-ories are some of mymost trea-sured,” saysCline, “and I feel in-credibly lucky toworkonamod-el train display unlike any otherin the country.”
And he wants to make sureothers know it.
“I love explaining the historyof the Duke Energy HolidayTrains and bringing the displayto life for people both young andold,” he says. And there’s a lot totell.Thedisplayhasbeenacher-ished and fun holiday traditionforCline and families across theTristate for 68 years. But it’s notall fun and games. At least notfor Cline.
“It’s a serious responsibilitytaking care of those trains,” hesays, “but we enjoy what we’redoingandwegetakickoutof thelittle kids’ reactions.”
It’s a tradition that Cline ishonored to be a part of and onehe’s glad to help Cincinnati Mu-seum Center carry on.
“Parents bring their chil-dren, and when those childrengrow up they bring their ownkids down here for the display,”hesays. “It’s justaspecial time.”
They make for a rail good time

During theholiday sea-son, I stock up on bags ofwalnuts and jars of honeyto make our traditionalbaklava for Christmasgiving. Our whole familygets involved, from theadults to the toddlers. To-day and for the next fewweeksI’llbesharingsome
favoritesfor you totry. Takeadvantageof the goodprices onraw nuts,too. Theyfreeze wellfor severalmonths.
Chardonnay-soakedgolden raisins
We made these a fewyears ago in cooking classand they were a hit. I liketo scrape out seeds fromthe vanilla bean and addthose to the liquid alongwith the bean. Servedover Brie with crackers,the raisins make eleganthorsd’oeuvresandajarofthem makes an unusualgift from the kitchen. Ifyou don’t like Brie, smeara little soft goat cheese ona toasted baguette and topwith raisins. I have madethis recipe with Riesling,and it turned out just a lit-tle bit sweeter, but verynice.

The website Craigslist isa great place for findinglots of things from jobs tocars.
It is also a place where,if you’re not careful, youcan very easily getscammed. That’s what alocal woman says almosthappened to her.
Kathryne Oakes, of St.Bernard, advertised a hatfor sale on Craigslist andsays she received severale-mails requesting moreinformation. But one e-mailwas from a person who saidshe lived in Texas and want-ed to buy the hat.
Oakes says she e-mailedher name and address soshe could receive paymentfor the hat. She then re-
ceived aFedExpackagewith acheck for$2,150eventhough shewas onlyasking$400 forthe hat.
A letter with thecheck advised Oakes tosend the rest of the mon-ey to a “shipper” whowould then deliver thehat. Oakes attempted tofollow the directions but,because she doesn’t havea bank account to depos-it the check as instruct-ed, she took the check to
a check cashing store.Oakes says the check
cashing store noted thecheck did not come fromthe woman allegedlybuying the hat, but fromsomeone else entirelyand so would not cashthe check. In fact, shesays the store wouldn’tgive back the check soshe could take it to thepolice department. NowOakes says she’s embar-rassed and angry believ-ing she may be associat-ed with trying to pass abad check.
The check cashingstore advised Oakes theonly form of paymentshe should accept forher hat is fromWestern
Union. Of course, that’sthe samemethod ofpayment that so-calledTexas woman wantedOakes to use to send theremainder of the check.
Oakes says she wantsto get the word out aboutthis scam so others don’tgo through what she didand, she says, “worse yetthey may get taken forthe money.” Oakes saysshe “researched thebank and the companythe check was issuedfrom and both seemedlegit to me.” But, whilethe company is legiti-mate, the check wasn’tsent by that firm it wassent by a thief who stolethat checking accountinformation.
This is a scam thatbeen going on for quite a
while and it takes vari-ous forms. Sometimes, athief will claim to havehired you to be a Mys-tery Shopper and sendyou a check to shop atvarious stores. One ofthose places will beWestern Union whenyou’re to wire money tothem. Of course, if youfollow the thief’s in-structions you will havedeposited his boguscheck into your bankaccount. You won’t knowhis check is bad untilafter you’ve wired himyour good money.
Other scams involvesending you a boguscheck for several thou-sand dollars allegedly soyou can pay for the taxeson the sweepstakes prizeyou just won. You’re told
to deposit the check andthen wire the money tothe sweepstakes office.Again, you don’t learnuntil it’s too late that thecheck sent you is bogusand you’re now liable torepay the bank.
Bottom line, bewareof checks and moneyorders sent from strang-ers, often sent by FedExand UPS to avoid thepost office and its postalinspectors. And neverwire money to someoneyou don’t know.
