COLUMBIATWP.—There’sgoodnewson the roadrecon-struction front, according totownship AdministratorMike Lemon.

The Ohio Public WorksCommission has awardedColumbia Township a$665,000 grant to help recon-structEdithAvenue in itsen-tirety and Blaney Avenue to

the Cincinnati corporationline, Lemon reported at a re-cent township Board ofTrustees meeting.

Lemon said ColumbiaTownship will contributeabout $265,000 to the projectin Madison Place.

“We’d estimated (thetownship’s share) wouldprobably be around$300,000, so $265,000 isslightly less than that andthat’s always good,” Lemon

said.Lemon said construction

will begin around July 1.“In the interim,wewill be

workingwithanengineeringcompany to get all the engi-neeringwork completed andthen be prepared to go outfor bids so we can get thisdone sometime next sum-mer,” he said.

LemonsaidEdithandBla-ney avenues need the work.

“Ifyou’vebeenover those

two streets, they definitelyare in need of complete re-construction,” Lemon said.

Lemonsaid it is likely thatsome large trees on BlaneyAvenue will have to be cutdown.

When board of trusteesVice President SusanHughes asked why, Lemonsaid, “The roots have actual-ly grown out into the streetand we can’t work aroundthose roots.

“We’re not happy about(cutting down trees), but onthe other hand, it’s going tohave a major impact on thestreet and the sidewalks,”Lemon said.

“We’ll save those (trees)we can.”

COVINGTON — For thefirst time in years, devel-operMattDaniels isenjoy-ing life, free from thethreatofspendingthenextfew decades in prison forcrimes related to one oftheregion’smosthigh-pro-file commercial real es-tate failures.

Daniels, lead developerof the failed KenwoodTowne Place retail-and-of-fice project, was recentlyclearedofwrongdoing inastunning blow to federalprosecutors. He was ac-quitted Dec. 20 of all 23counts of conspiracy tocommit bank fraud, wirefraud,mail fraudandmon-ey laundering – chargesthat could have put him inprison for 30 years if con-victed.

“It was very hard todeal with,” Daniels saidabout being painted as avillain by subcontractors,his project partners andothers.“Wedideverythingwe could very early on toexplain that we had not

taken any money weshouldn’t have, which gotproven.”

The governmentcharged that Daniels di-rected a scheme to submitinaccurate information toBank of America to obtainmoney from a construc-tion loanontheproject.Healsowasaccusedofdivert-ing that money to otherprojects under his direc-tion and for personal use.

Daniels, 49, said he gotthrough the ordeal on thestrength of support fromhis wife Lori, four chil-dren, friends and inves-tors in other projects.

“There was never anywaver with the support ofmy family,” he said. “Doesthatmean itwasn’t hard, itwasn’t devastating some-times? Yes. But the lovewas there, the commit-ment to each other wasthere.”

Now that the trial isover,Daniels is turninghisattention to new real es-tate ventures here and inother cities.

High-profile symbolof real estate failure

Kenwood Towne Place,next to Kenwood Towne

Centre mall and along In-terstate 71 in SycamoreTownship, became a sym-bol for failed real estatedevelopments after sub-contractors began walk-ing off the job for nonpay-ment in 2008. A foreclo-sure, a bankruptcy, crimi-nal prosecutions andnumerous lawsuits fol-lowed, shutting downwork for years on the $175million project.

Federal prosecutorshave declined to commenton the case. They tried toprove that Daniels knewall along about mountingfinancial problems. Dan-iels claimedhe left criticaldetails to others, and of-fered solutions once helearned of problems.

“I did make certainmistakes inmanaging thatproject, but nothing sinis-ter,” he said this week.

Daniels said he lastcommunicated with theother partners in develop-er Kenwood Towne PlaceLLC – Henry Schneider,TomNeyer and TimBaird– in spring 2011.

Neyer said that he hasworked hard to leaveKen-wood Towne Place memo-ries in the past.He also re-

mains unswayed by Dan-iels’ acquittal.

“It is a confusing case,andDaniels’ attorneyusedthat inaverystrategicandeffective way. But to saythat this outcome vindi-catesMattorsuggeststhatthe head bean counter atBear Creek was the onlybad apple in that firmstrains common sense,”Neyer said.

Other partners couldnot be reached for com-ment.

Today, the KenwoodTowne Place site is ownedby Sycamore Township-based Phillips Edison &Co.,whichhasresurrectedthe project as KenwoodCollection. A sign on thebuilding reads “New own-er.Newteam.Newvision.”

Phillips Edison is work-ing to complete construc-tion and recently an-nounced that Saks FifthAvenue will be among itsanchor tenants when itsspace is complete in 2016.

“I’m excited and happythat that project is gettingcompleted,” Daniels said.

“I’m sure I’m not the onlyone that’s tried of drivingby it and seeing it not com-pleted.”

Daniels’ attorney, BenDusing, said the case re-flects the weight broughtto bear on defendantswhen the federal govern-ment decides to presscharges. He said the sei-zure of assets and accusa-tions against his client “fu-els the fire” of claims hisclient was a criminal.

“It’s difficult to look atMatt and seehimas a littleguy,” Dusing said. “Hestarted from nothing butdid quite well and has en-joyed some success. It’snotDavid vs.Goliath. Thisisa tale that’srepeatedandit’s not oft understood bythepublicbecausetheper-ception is where there’ssmoke, there’s fire andwhenthere’sanaccusationhemust have done it.”

During the trial, feder-al prosecutors brought out15witnesses includingstardefendant-turned-witnessTina Schmidt, who servedaschieffinancialofficerat

Bear Creek Capital, whichDaniels also co-managed.Schmidt testifiedsherare-ly made a decision aboutproject finances withoutDaniels’ consent.

Daniels said this weekthathewaseager to testifyin his owndefense. Familyand supporters filled oneside of the courtroomwhen he did.

“I was not going to lookmy family and children inthe eyes, my partners andcertain investors and ad-mit I committed a crime Idid not commit,” Danielssaid. “I would’ve ratherdealt with the outcome ifwe would’ve lost.”

When asked if a pleadeal was ever considered,Daniels responded:“There was no considera-tion. Zero.”

During closing argu-ments, Dusing said thetrial basically came downto believing the versionsof events from Schmidt orDaniels.

“Intheend,shesignedabunch of stuff under oaththat wasn’t true and in or-der to mitigate her situa-tion, she plainly tried todrag down Matt,” Dusingsaid.

Daniels’ next step:Keep onworking

Daniels is now manag-ing director ofMontgome-ry-based American Capi-tal Partners, formed in2008. The real estate de-velopment company isworking on several landdevelopment projects lo-cally and in Florida andMichigan, Daniels said.

SCHOOL NOTES

Mount Notre Dame’sModel UN team returnedfrom Leiden, Nether-lands, Nov. 25, after aweek- long trip throughParis, Amsterdam, and fi-nally Leiden, where 10 ju-niors and seniors partici-pated inLEMUN,aninter-national conference.

Besides representingthe United States, thesestudents prepared posi-tions for Vietnam, Syriaand Denmark on a num-ber of current global top-ics. Junior Brittney Dor-ton (Mason) was one offive ambassadors select-ed by the Leiden confer-ence committee, to makeopening remarks regard-ing this year’s theme,Warand Peace.

Senior Claire Getter(Mason), as representa-tive of Syria, was asked tospeak to the entireGener-al Assembly forum on theplight of Syrian refugees.The failure of the Securi-ty Council to resolve thecrisis thus was not unlikethe real circumstancesfacing refugees today, sothe responsibility washanded to theGeneral As-sembly for simulation.

“The contributions andsuccesses of these stu-dents in committee are atestament to the amountof study and preparationthey have dedicated toModel UN in their time atMND. I am very proud oftheir accomplishments,”said Susan Magnus, theiradviser. Other membersof the successful team in-cluded: leaders JillO’Bryan (Princeton) andCatherine Buck (Love-land), along with EricaHow (Loveland), CarolynBurress (Sycamore), Ka-

tie Tkacz (Loveland), Kel-ly Detmer (Loveland),Stephanie Faller (Lakota)and Olivia DeLuca (Ma-son).

The conference itselfconsisted of committeesessions, time for dele-gates to pass resolutions,change the world, andmake new friends in theprocess. During the sec-ond day of LEMUN, dele-gates attended the annualDelegate Dance Party.The dance gave the stu-dents a chance to get toknow their fellow dele-

gates outside of commit-tee sessions. Many of thestudents traded contactinformation the last day,in order to stay in touchwith international friendsafter the conference.

PRESS PREPS HIGHLIGHTS

INDIAN HILL — Afterweathering some early-sea-son adversity, Indian Hill’sgirls basketball team is pick-ing up steam in head coachChris Arington’s second sea-son at the helm.

The Lady Braves relied ona balanced roster of seniorleaders and fearless under-classmen to reel off fourstraightwins tocloseout2013.

Several Lady Braves bas-ketball players also play a fallsport for Indian Hill. Thosesoccer and volleyball playerswere unable to participate inthemajority of the basketballteam’s preseason practices.According to Arington, therewere times when only fourplayers could attendpractice.He recruited boys to scrim-mage against his team.

“Wewere behind early duetohaveahighnumberofplay-ers in fall sports,” said Aring-ton. “Now, after getting ev-eryonehealthyandback fromother sport conflicts, we arereally jelling.”

With projected startersgetting a late start on the sea-son, every single player onthe roster became invaluable.Whatwas an early season hin-drance has led to amidseasonstrength.Now,allninevarsityplayers are contributing.

“In somewaysbeing short-handed early got more play-ers involved that might nothave had opportunities if wehad our entire team from thestart,” said Arington. “Thathas increased our bench pro-duction and allowed our de-fense to be much more ag-gressive.”

FreshmanEllieSchaubhasemergedastheteam’s leadingscorer, averaging 12 pointsper game. She leads the Cin-cinnati Hills League in freethrow attempts, a result ofher fearlessness in the paint.Through eight games, she hasattempted 63 free throws andmade 38; her closest compet-itor in the CHL has attempted49, in two more games, andmade just 19.

“As a freshman, you don’texpect her to lead the leagueinfree throwstaken,especial-ly at her size (5’6”), but she isrelentless in attacking thebasket,” Arington said.

Arington’s daughters, sen-ior Jessica and sophomoreSam, along with sophomoreLexi Carrier carry themajor-ity of the scoring and re-bounding load with Schaub.Junior guard Mikayla Ger-main is the team’s unsung he-ro.

“She’s my favorite type ofplayer to coach because sta-tistics don’t define her,”Arington said. “She does allthe dirty work and the littlethings.”

Arington, who has coachedmany of these girls in AAUbasketball for years, learneda lot from his first season as avarsity head coach last year.He led the Lady Braves to a13-9 season and third placeCHL finish, but expectationswere higher coming into thisseason.

“Themost important thingI’ve learned is scouting youropponent. Having the oppor-tunity to have a base knowl-edge of the league and otheropponents has been a bighelp,” said Arington. “Thebiggest difference is having ayear to implement our sys-tem. Also, we only had onesenior last year and this yearwe have three.”

There is little doubt thatthis team is heading in theright direction. If they canstay healthy and get moreshots to fall, their depth, ener-gy, and defense will have theLady Braves poised to re-claim theCHL title after Indi-an Hill’s string of fourstraight league champion-ships ended last season.

“Our shooting percentage,especially from the free-throwline,needs to improve,”said Arington. “We need tocontinue to play fast and util-ize our pressure defense.”

The Lady Braves hit theroad for six straight roadgames in 11 days, beginningon Jan. 8 at Madeira.

KENWOOD — Not many highschool basketball coaches willraveoverafifth-placefinish inatournament.

Moeller’s post-Christmastrip to the Beach Ball Classic inMyrtle Beach received fivestarts in coach Carl Kremer’sunofficial roundball travelguide.

“Of all the years we’ve beengoing to tournaments, it’s thebest organized,” Kremer said.“It’s big time how they treat youand how they do it and thecrowds are huge. They get allthe townspeople out.”

Moeller’s annual basketballtrip is paid for through teamfundraising and has become atraditional primer for the roughand tumble Greater CatholicLeague that begins this month.

The Crusaders came awaywith just one loss, against Provi-dence, Fla., 60-56 on Dec. 28.Duke recruit Grayson Allen ledProvidence with 30 points, withsenior Grant Benzinger toppedMoeller with 21.

“Wehad aheck of a chance tobeat them,” Kremer said. “Wehad a drought in the first halfand a drought in the second halfscoring-wise. Other than that,we dominated most of thegame.”

The loss gave Moeller a bestcase scenario of fifth-place,which they achieved three dayslaterwithconsecutivewinsover

over Franklin (Ohio) and BullisSchool (Maryland) Dec. 30-31.To start the tournament, theCrusaders defeated FatherHenry Carr (Canada) 55-39.

In addition to top notch com-petition,Kremerwas impressedwith thecrowdsalongtheGrandStrand.

“Most of the time, it’s in ahigh school gym and there’s 300people,” Kremer said. “Thenight we played Providence atthe convention center, I’mgoingto bet there were 3,000 peoplethere.”

While enjoying the sands ofthe Atlantic during the day, theCrusaders heard the typical, “Ithought you were a football

school” comment. At night,Kremer’s gold and blue hungwith teams that equaled or sur-passed them in height and fea-tured top talent.

A local ambassador accom-panied all 16 teams involved.

“I think from top to bottom,it’s the best run tournamentwe’ve been to,” Kremer said.“Thecommunity is really into it.The team that beat us by fourbeat a teamfromNewYorkCityby 25. A lot of people think thatour game against them was thechampionshipgame.Wejustgota tough draw. Providence wasthe No. 1 seed.”

Among the highlights forMoellerwas seniorAdamGigaxfinishing in the top four of thetournament three-point shoot-ing contest.

“Adam Gigax shooting theball sort of protects our bigs,”Kremer said. “Now we have ashooter on both sides in AdamandGrant.JackAntonalsohadagood three days.”

Kremer’s guards also had asuccessful run.

“Tre Hawkins stepped up atpoint guard and Grant (Benzin-ger) did very, verywell,” Krem-er said. “Hawkins does a lot ofthings that doesn’t show up inthe points-scored column. Hegets the ball and ignites ourbreak.”

TheCrusaders’wintergaunt-let isnowunderwayas theirJan.7 home game with WintonWoods is followed by theirGCL-South openerwith Elder Jan.10.

Starting a professionalsoccer team in Cincinnatiis challenging.Manyhavetried and, ultimately, fellshort of their goals. DavidSatterwhite and the Cin-cinnati Saints hope amerger with Louisville’sRiver City Legends willboost the Saints’ fortunesand lead to longevity.

The Saints have beenaroundsince2009,provid-ing professional men’sand women’s teams aswell as a youth program.The Saints have part-nered with the Legendsand will play the 2013-14season in the ProfessionalArena Soccer League pre-

mier division as the RiverCity Saints. The partner-ship will broaden thereach of both programsand should increase theorganization’s chances ofmoving up in the profes-sional ranks.

“As we start to look forplayersoutsideof thecity,we are going to continueto set the bar higher andhigher every year. Bycontinuing to set the barhigher and higher, thismeans that Cincinnati’syouth players will be ableto see a higher level ofplay, right here in theirown backyard,” said Sat-terwhite, the Saints’president and CEO.

For the 2013-14 season,the Saints are calling the

Tri-County Soccerplexhome. Cincinnati soccerfans will recognize manyfamiliar faces on the ros-ters, including severalwhoplayedfor theCincin-nati Kings. Now, Ken-tucky soccer fans will mi-grate north to follow theirfavorite players.

“Building a roster ofvery talented players atthis level is definitely noteasy but we have actuallyreliedonourcurrentplay-ers torecommendplayersthat they have playedwith,” said Satterwhite.“We have built a verygood team that way overthe last four years. Wenow have the resourcesand name recognition togo to other cities looking

for players.”The Saints have a good

understanding of whatthey need to do to buildsoccer interest in this re-gion. It goes beyond justperforming on the pitch.

“Most of the currentplayers have Cincinnatior Dayton ties and haveknown each other for afew years,” said Miller. “Ithink what all the guyshave in common is thatlove playing and wantedto continue their career ata good level after collegeand in this town the Saintsare the best option. Theguys get along easily withcommon goals in mind togrow soccer here.”

Satterwhite hopes thatthemergerwith theRiver

City Legends will have atrickle-down effect onyouth soccer in the re-gion, which in turn willbroaden the organiza-tion’s fan and sponsorbase. The more fans theSaints have, themore rev-enue they can bring in;revenue is thekey tomov-ing up in the professionalranks. The first fouryears of the programwere spent focusing onbuilding infrastructure ofplayers, coaches, staffandsponsors.Theconsoli-dationwithRiverCitywillplay a big role in the or-ganization’s next step, ofgetting out in the commu-nity and building a largefan base.

“One thing I will not do

as the President and CEOof the club is to jump intothese higher pro leaguesbefore we have the fanbase to support those lev-els. This has been the big-gestmistakeof everypro-fessional soccer team inCincinnati before us andwhy every team beforethe Saints have folded,”said Satterwhite. “I havemade promises to myplayers, staff and fansthat we will always bearound even if it takes us30 years to get to the high-er pro levels. Our players,staffandfanshave invest-ed a lot time, energy andmoney to support the Cin-cinnati Saints. I refuse tolet that go unrewarded.”

A publication of

As a Hamilton County Do-mestic Relations judge, I de-cide custody of children indivorce cases. The standard ofdecision is “the best interestof the child.”

Until recently, the onlyprocess for deciding contestedcustody issues was to order alengthy parenting report fromthe Court’s Parenting ServicesDepartment. This investiga-tion routinely took two tothree months to complete andrequired the parties’ childrento be interviewed.

If the divorcing parents didnot agree with the recom-mendations a custody trialwas necessary. An unintendedconsequence of this processwas to increase the animositybetween the parties.

Under the leadership ofAdministrative Judge Susan

Tolbert in 2011 thecourt began to re-quire cases with dis-puted parenting is-sues to meet with thejudge assigned totheir case soon afterit was filed.

I use this meetingto describe the op-tions for decidingcustody issues andsuggest that the bestoption for the parties is tomake these decisions together.

As the mother of four chil-dren myself, I tell the litigantsthat I would much prefer tomake decisions about my chil-dren and not give up this re-sponsibility to an elected offi-cial. I stress the importance ofmaintaining the children’scontinuing relationship witheach parent as necessary for

their healthy devel-opment.

These conferencesalso give me an oppor-tunity to start the proc-ess of resolving otherissues in the case byordering a settlementconference, settingdeadlines or requiringappraisals of propertyin dispute, for example.

As a result of thisearly judicial intervention,families have been able tocomplete the often wrenchingprocess of divorce in a man-ner that is less destructive tothe ongoing relationship be-tween the parties and theirchildren.

In addition, late this year,the court initiated a pilot pro-ject called Early Neutral Eval-uation. This alternative dis-

pute resolution process is alsoimplemented early in the di-vorce process.

Divorcing parties comewith their attorneys to a ses-sion before a team of neutralevaluators to state their posi-tion on how they believe par-enting should be arrangedpost-divorce. After input fromtheir attorneys, the evalua-tors, who are an experiencedmagistrates and social work-ers, advise the parties howthey believe their custodyissues will likely be decidedby the assigned judge

The benefit of this processis that it allows the parties tostate their concerns, givingthem and their attorneys abetter appreciation of theother parent’s views. Again,this process presents anotheropportunity for the parties to

settle the parenting issues inthe divorce without a conten-tious custody trial.

Early Neutral Evaluationhas enjoyed a 60 percent suc-cess rate in Marion County,Ohio. While the process is newto Hamilton County it is al-ready showing signs to beingvery helpful to divorcing par-ents making difficult deci-sions in the best interest oftheir children.

I am hopeful that as thefirst urban county in Ohio toimplement Early NeutralEvaluation, we will enjoy simi-lar success and help the chil-dren and families of HamiltonCounty.

New techniques used for custody disputes

Last week’s questionShould Ohio allow online vot-

er registration, which would al-low for an immediate cross checkof license records and help pre-vent illegal voting? Why or whynot?

“Of course, Ohio shouldadopt online voter registration.The greater number of peoplewho can legally vote, the moreour republic is actually demo-cratic!”

TRog

“Ohio and all the other 49states need to introduce voterregistration systems that en-sure that every person dom-iciled in thestateover theageof18 years is registered to vote.

“I know of no other so calleddemocracy in the developedworld that works so hard tomake it difficult for the less for-tunate members of society toregister to vote.

“This is clearly unconstitu-tional since ‘All men (and wom-en) are created equal’ except inthe eyes of the Republican par-ty which is bound and deter-mined to disenfranchise asmany of the potential opposi-tion as possible. Apparentlytheyconcedethat theycan’twinthe policy argument, so theyjust want to stack the deck byrigging the electoral role.

“Given the millions of votescast,electoral fraud,while itex-

ists, is so miniscule that it doesnot affect the outcome of elec-tions, but is used as an excusefor all sorts of laws aimed atlimiting voter registration.”

D.R.

“I think so, and why not. Ev-erythingelsehasgoneelectron-ic and states should have morecontrol over theancientmethodof registration.”

O.H.R.

“The entire fuss over voterregistration is so stupid I justwish someone would do it rightandwecould all follow the lead-er.

“The problem with voterregistration requirements isthat the political motivationdrives the efforts to make itharder to register and vote ifyou are poor, which apparentlythe Republicans have decidedmeans you are Democratic.

“Many poor people, particu-

larly in theSouth, don’t haveSo-cial Security numbers becausethey were born in remote areaswhich didn’t have adequatepublic records. Others havebeen displaced, don’t have thetransportation necessary to getthe records theyneed, and so onand so forth.

“This question is about on-line registration and immediatecross-checks. That would be animprovement, although Ohio’sregistration process is prettyeasy compared to many otherstates, and the manipulationthat I’mawareofhappensat thevote-counting stage, not theregistration or voting stage.

“We should have a straight-forward registration processthat CONSTITUTES a form ofidentification which is inter-connected to the license and So-cial Security system. If you areable to register to vote you aregiven a form of identificationwhich is replaceable, and iden-

tifies you to the poll worker.“Itmight evenmake identify

theft harder, if done right, sincethere would be one more levelof confirmation available whena person’s true identity is inquestion.”

N.F.

“No, it’s too dangerous withall of the hackers out there. Go-ing in person and presenting avalid picture ID is much safer.There’s already too much voterfraud out there, as we discov-ered after the last presidentialelection.”

C.H.

“I would be in favor of any-thing that would cut down on il-legal voting.When I go to vote Iknow some of the people at thepolls but I still have to showmyidentification. How can peoplevote that don’t even have anyidentification?”

NEXT QUESTIONWhat do you think of CincinnatiCity Council giving the go aheadto resume the streetcar con-struction?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via e-mail. Send youranswers toespangler@communitypress.com withChatroom in the subject line by 5 p.m.on Thursday.

St. Vincent de Paul volunteersvisit the homes of neighbors inneed and experience the heart-wrenching effects of povertyfirst hand. When a family slipsinto distress, the pain is almosttangible.

Amother who lives in aWest-side neighborhood,worn down by worrybecause her utility billis late and her childrenare sleeping on the coldfloor. An adult man onthe brink of tears be-cause his children havenothing to eat for dinnerin their small city apart-ment. An elderly couple,living in an Eastsidesuburb, forced to decidebetween losing theirhome and foregoing their life-saving prescriptionmedications.

Our communities have experi-enced a lot of changes this year:food stamp cuts, health carechanges, and an economy thatseems to be turning around forsome, but has left many familiesbehind. We see the direct effectsof these changes first hand eachday, the most devastating beingthe impact on children.

Every day, our volunteers visitthe homes of parents who workmultiple part-time jobs so they

can keep food on the table, orwho have sold the last of theirpossessions so that they can keepthe lights on.

When our volunteers delivergifts to the homes of neighbors inneed, they are blessed to witnesswhat one act of kindness can

mean to a struggling fam-ily. A child giggling withjoy as they bounce on theirnew bed, a mother withtears streaming down herface as her children’sChristmas gifts are carriedinto her home, a familygathered together onChristmasmorning withhope for a brighter newyear.

CE-0000571923

I was flipping throughmygourmet foodmagazines andtwo items kept popping up as“newbies” for 2014. One is theherb fennel, in particularbronze fennel. I had to chucklesince I’ve grown both greenfennel, which produces a deli-cious bulb, and also bronze,which is grown for its leavesand seeds, for years.

Fennel contains vita-min C and potassium,good for immune andnervous systems, and theheart. In fact, I just fea-tured a fennel/garliccrust on pork roast onmy cable show “LoveStarts in the Kitchen.”Watch it on TimeWarnerlocal access.

The other trend iskale, but not the old-fashionedcurly kale like Grandma grew.Kale varieties are almost end-less. You’ll find lots of recipes,including the two I mention inmy pizza recipe. Kale is an easycool crop, so grow some comespring.

I’d also like to issue a formalinvitation for you to share yourfavorite recipes and tips alongwith the story that goes withthem. I’m not particular, sowhatever you like to cook,whether it’s fancy, plain or inbetween is fine byme. If yousend along a photo, so much thebetter!

Whole wheat pizza withgarlic, greens and twocheeses

We grow kale, includingLocinato/Tuscan/Dino and Rus-sian kale. Both aremilder tast-ing than curly kale. Mixing kalewith Swiss chard or spinachtones down the taste of kale.

Greens like these con-tain nutrients essentialfor tissue growth andrepair, and even yourpicky eaters will likethis. You can use justchard or spinach if youlike.

1pre-baked 12 oz. Boboliwhole wheat pizza shell

2-3 teaspoons finelyminced garlic

3-4 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil

Pizza sauce to coverEnough small Swiss chard orspinach and kale leaves to cover(or large leaves, chopped)

6-8 oz. Fontina cheese, shredded3-4 oz. crumbled goat cheeseOptional: Sliced tomatoes, chives

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.Stir garlic into olive oil. Brushover crust. Top with pizza sauceand greens, overlapping leavesso entire surface is covered.Sprinkle with cheeses. Slicecherry or regular tomatoes andlay on top if you like. Bake 10minutes or until cheesemelts.

Tips from Rita’s kitchen

Substitute Gorgonzola forgoat cheese.

Priscilla Pancoast’sheirloom corn pudding

Wow – talk about lots ofrequests for this! The originalrecipe came from Priscilla’smother’s cousin, who was fromNiles, Ohio. “This almost has acult following,” said Priscilla.Check out my blog for morecorn pudding recipes, includingthe famous Beaumont Inn’scorn pudding, along with anold-fashioned version of thistreasured side dish.

2 eggs1 stick of butter1 package Jiffycorn muffin mix

8 oz. grated cheddar8 oz. sour cream1 can yellow corn with juice,approximately 15 oz.

1 can cream-style corn,approximately 15 oz.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Melt butter, beat eggs slightly,thenmix everything togetherand put in greased 21/2 quartcasserole and bake for about 45minutes.

Tips from readers’kitchens

Add extra flavor to boxcakes. NancyMauch, a Cler-mont County reader andmomofmy former editor, LisaMauch, shares this tip: For boxcakes, substitute milk or juicefor liquid called for. “Addsanother element of flavor,”Nancy said.

Buying blue cheese in bulk.Dave, a loyal reader, said hefound a five-pound bag of bluecheese crumbles at GFS (Gor-don Food Service) for $19. Hemade batches of Nell Wilson’s

blue cheese dressing and waslooking for an affordable wayto do it.

Tomato preserve recipe abig hit. Lana Kay, a NorthernKentucky reader, mademyauntMargaret’s recipe lastsummer. “I was surprised howmany people had never tastedthem,” she said. Lana shared itwith an Amish vendor at afarmer’s market and I have nodoubt it will become a big sell-er. Tomato preserves are anoth-er trendy, but really old-fash-ioned, condiment that chefs willbe featuring this year.

Marking a first for thecollege, the nursing andradiologic technologyprograms at the Univer-sity of Cincinnati BlueAsh College are begin-ning to admit studentsthrough a selective ad-missions process.

Both programs are ac-cepting applicationsfrom prospective stu-dents whowant to be con-sidered for the fall 2014semester. TheDentalHy-giene program will im-plement the same proc-ess in fall 2015.

This is the first timethe college has intro-duced selective admis-sions for any of its aca-demic departments.“This change is beingmade to better serve ourstudents,” said CadyShort-Thompson, dean ofUC Blue Ash College.

“These programs areextremely popular andprepare our studentsverywell, but thenumberof studentswe can accepteach semester is limited.As a result, we were see-ing waiting lists of up tothree or four years.”

Thewaiting lists causea variety of issues. Alongwith forcing a student todelay their future plans,college leaders noted thatstudents would often useup their financial aidwithelective courses beforethey could even begintheir chosen program.

Under the new selec-tive admission process,students will be requiredtomeet certainminimumrequirements beforethey can be considered.Those requirements in-clude specific levels ofachievement in chemis-

try, biology, math, Eng-lish and grade point aver-age.

“This processwill helpstudents who are quali-fied, prepared, and com-mitted gain access totheir chosen field ofstudy in a much moretimely fashion,” Short-Thompson said. “We willalso work with studentswho don’t qualify to helpthem identify an academ-ic programand future ca-reer that might be a bet-ter fit.”

The deadline to applyfor admission to the nurs-ing or radiologic technol-ogyprograms isFeb.1. Tolearn more about the se-lective admission proc-ess and program require-ments, go towww.ucblueash.edu..

UC Blue Ashmoves toselectiveadmissions forsome programs

Nursing students atUC Blue Ashparticipate in clinicalstudies at areahospitals as part ofthe curriculum. Undera new selectiveadmissions process,the college aims toreduce waiting listsfor Nursing and otherpopular health careprograms. THANKS TOPETE BENDER
