COVEDALE — Diane Schulz describes her neighbor Antho- ny Comarata Jr. as a kind- hearted young man who is always willing to lend a hand. “From a young boy to a fine young man, he has grown and helped me throughout the years,” Schulz said in the nomi- nation she submitted for Neighbors Who Care. “He has been helping me with my yard and various work around the house for approxi- mately seven years now.” Comarata, who goes by AJ, is an Elder High School gradu- ate who is now a sophomore finance student at Xavier Uni- versity. Schulz said, without hesita- tion, he cuts her grass, rakes her leaves and every week takes her garbage cans to and from the curb. “Every time it snows he is right there with a snow shovel in hand and shovels my side- walks and driveway – and I have a very long driveway,” she said. “He tells me to call if I need anything at all. He does all of these things out of the kind- ness of his heart, not for mon- ey.” The apple doesn’t fall from the tree, Schulz said, as AJ’s parents, Tony and Michelle, take over for their son when he’s unable. “They watch my home when I am away and make sure all is well. They are always ready to lend a helping hand,” she said. “It’s easy to see where AJ gets his compassion for others and shares a sense of community with those around us.” Comarata said ever since he was a kid his family has been neighborly and made friends with their neighbors. “I feel a sense of obligation to help since I’m one of the younger neighbors around here,” he said. “I took on a sense of responsibility. I enjoy helping her.” Getting to know one’s neigh- bors and lending them a hand makes for a better community, he said. “It’s good to help when you can,” Comarata said. “I hope when I’m older I’ll have neigh- bors who help me.” Green Twp. couple have generous hearts GREEN TWP. — Joe and Coty Dance have a large family of their own to look after, but still find a way to give of their time for others every week. “They are truly neighbors who care – not just for a mo- ment, but in the way they live their lives each and every day,” Green Township resi- dent Evy Finegan said in her nomination of the Bridgetown couple. “I am certain that I am only one of hundreds whose lives have been touched by their generous hearts.” Finegan said many years ago when her husband was ill and she was working, Joe and Coty took him to his doctor appointments. “After he died, they knew I had no family here in Cincin- nati and included me in all of their holiday celebrations,” Finegan said. “They made me feel like a member of their family. Being considered part of their family was a precious gift after such a difficult loss.” She said when she had a surgery, she would wake to find Coty sitting by her hospi- tal bed because she didn’t want to her to be alone. “Last October, I had a medical emergency while attending a college reunion in Richmond, Indiana,” Finegan said. “Guess who drove to Richmond on a Sunday morn- ing with what had to have been very little notice?

A6 • PRICE HILL PRESS • DECEMBER 31, 2014

The Old Time Saloon on thecorner of Cleves Warsaw Pikeand Rulison Avenue in PriceHill, was originally named theIdeal Café and was owned andoperated by Bud Hotchkiss fornearly 40 years.

The following story hap-pened around 1943 and is takenfrom “Nobody Works,” Bud’smemoirs of life at the IdealCafé.

“It was a few days beforeChristmas, a light snow cov-ered the road in front of theIdeal. I had just opened up andhad four customers: Jones,Smitty, Ernie Meyer and FredBushmiller.

“Fred was looking out thefront door when he asked if weknew what the people outsidewere doing. I looked out and

saw two peoplepicking some-thing up out ofthe snow. I toldthe customersthat I’d findout what wasup and wentout to discoverthousands ofpennies scat-tered in thesnow in front

of the Overlook Theater andthe Ideal Café. It wasn’t longbefore there were many morepeople picking up pennies.

“I worried that a passingcar might hit one of the people.Two cars pulled up and theoccupants joined the pennypickers.

“Smitty and Jones would go

out and pick up just enoughpennies to buy a double shotfor each of them, then they’dgo out and get enough for twomore shots. Traffic becamesnarled and was soon blockedcompletely. When a buscouldn’t get through, the driv-er got out and began pickingup pennies. Someone musthave called the police aboutthe traffic tie up. The policehad to go up Rulison to getthrough. They parked along-side the theater. When theysaw what was going on theyjoined in the penny picking.Jones and Smitty continueddrinking doubles. I couldn’t getany more pennies in the cashregister and had to put them ina cigar box.

“Ernie was watching what

was happening out front. Heasked me for two dollars worthof nickels. I thought he wasgoing to put them in the pinballmachine, but instead he un-wrapped them and threw themout the front door, scatteringthem in the snow. This madefor even more activity outthere. Smitty and Jones weregetting their doubles fivetimes faster than before andwere rapidly becoming intoxi-cated.

“The priest from St. TeresaChurch and the manager of the5th/3rd Bank were there, sideby side, picking up pennies.Finally, the coins were gettingscarce, the crowd broke up andtraffic began to move again.

“We never found out wherethe pennies came from, but

there were many theories. Onewas that they fell from aBrinks Armored Car, but noempty bags were ever found.”

So, it has remained the mys-tery of the pennies from heav-en.

Bud’s son, Roy, and grand-daughter, Julie, both Price Hillresidents, are also accom-plished writers and authors.They have many books to theircredit, including a mystery byRoy, “An Ideal Way to Die,”that revolves around the IdealCafé.

Diane Clark grew up in Price Hilland lives there now. Her company,Fairy Dust Ltd Inc., is on WarsawAvenue in Price Hill. She is a long-time member of the Price Hill His-torical Society.

Pennies from heaven, a Christmas mystery

For those of you whohaven’t yet heard the hyperevolving around the film “In-terstellar,” let me fill you in.

“Interstellar” has a star-studded cast including: Mat-thew McConaughey, AnneHathaway, John Lithgow, Jessi-ca Chastain and Matt Damonamong others.

The film is powered by ourleading character, McConaugh-ey, who plays a man grapplingwith the harsh reality of life onEarth in a distant future. Thepeople of earth have squan-dered many of their naturalresources and are forced tolive in an overpopulated, nox-ious environment.

They are facing the extinc-tion of humankind. It is up toMcConaughey and a team of“underground” scientists ofNASA to pursue searching forlife on other planets. To do sothey must risk their lives and

relinquish allties to theirpresent reality.

Navigatingthe explorationthrough aunique timecontinuum andscientificworm holeallows thecrew to travelbeyond their

solar system. For a film that is nearly

three hours in length (169 min-utes) to require audiences tosit that long may be a chal-lenge. Some critics have saidit’s a film about the love of afather and daughter. Some sayit is an adventure in space timecontinuum technology. Beyondthe portrayal of a devastatedearth, this film also has a mys-tery to be solved.

Would I recommend this

film? Yes to any diehard sci-ence buffs. Yes to anyone un-der 30 who could possibly fol-low the technological refer-ences and connect the dots toits complicated premise.

I appreciated the story as acautionary tale for people toimagine living in a future thatis unbearable. All the technicalbells and whistles made meconsider: is this what Amer-icans before us thought whenthe likes of Flash Gordon orBuck Rogers came to be in the’50s? The special effects werespectacular.

Certainly the opportunity toimagine a world beyond ourown is a fascinating endeavor.Is it worth nearly three hoursof your time to do so?

It’s not unusual for youngchildren to pretend to have jobs– playing firefighter, teacher,businessperson, builder andmore.

When I was 10, for instance,I wanted to be a professionalbasketball player.

As they grow, children dis-cover their own talents anddevelop interests, and with theright guidance and opportuni-ties they will find careers inadulthood that match thosetalents and interests.

Some schools have careerexposure and exploration pro-grams for students. Great Oakshas several such programs inarea middle schools.

Parents can help their chil-dren as well:

» Help them figure out whatthey enjoy – and why. Yourdaughter plays video games forhours each week. It may be amindless experience, or it maybe a sign that she enjoys solv-ing complex problems. Chil-dren who play a variety ofsports may be athletically in-clined, or the social aspects ofsports may be what intereststhem. Talk to your childrenabout what motivates them to

do what theydo.

» Encouragethose interestsand explorepossibilities.Field trips tomuseums andother activitiescan spark newconversations.If your chil-dren are in-

terested in your career and it’spossible to do so, take them towork to learn more. For olderchildren, job shadowing oreven internships may be avail-able.

» Research career fields andthe education or training need-ed. To learn more about careersand the job market, Ohio-MeansJobs.com is a good placeto start. There, you can seedescriptions of skills neededfor each occupation along withtypical work activities and evenaverage salaries. Some fieldswill require a college degree,and many don’t. However, near-ly every professional careerstarts with training or certifica-tion. That may be availablethrough industry apprentice-

ship programs, communitycolleges, private schools, or anOhio Career Center like GreatOaks.

» Be ready for changes.About 80 percent of collegestudents change their major atleast once, and young adultsentering the workforce now arelikely to change careers mul-tiple times. We regularly hearabout graduates from our highschool programs who are usingtheir career training to earnmoney to attend post-secondaryinstitutions in another field.

Uncertainty about a careerpath can lead to frustration inschool. Students who don’tunderstand how they’ll use theknowledge they’re receivingmay not be engaged in theirlearning. They may also be-come easily dissatisfied as theyenter the workforce after grad-uation. Parents and schools canhelp students be more confi-dent about their lives by help-ing them to understand andexplore careers while they’restill in school.

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.

Smartphones, iPods andiPads make for popular holi-day gifts. What should you dowith the outdated cellphone,MP3 player or desktop com-puter you’ll no longer use?

The Environmental Pro-tection Agency estimates thatonly 25 percent of electronicsare recycled; the rest end upin landfills or incinerators.Electronics, which also in-cludes peripherals, cablesand cell phones, containchemicals that can potentiallyharm groundwater whilesitting for decades in land-fills. Incineration is not agood option either, as burningplastics and metals producestoxic air pollutants.

Here are a few sugges-tions for environmentally-friendly ways to dispose ofyour used electronics.

» Consider donating toyour local school, church,Crayons For Computers orGoodwill.

» Take your electronics to

an electronicsoutlet: Clean-lites in Cincin-nati and For-est Park; Co-hen Metals inNorwood andCincinnati(4538 KelloggAve.); Comp-ton Recycling(ColerainTownship)
