Sycamore Township is trying toclose a budget deficit.

Residents attended a meetingApril 17 at the township administra-tion building, 8540 Kenwood Road, tolearn more about the three issues onthe May 7 ballot they’ll be voting on.Issues 5, 6, and 7 each are for one ofthree joint economic developmentzones, or JEDZ, including two inKen-wood. A vote “yes” approves eachJEDZ.

A joint economic development

zone is a mutual agreement betweenthe township and a city or village inwhich businesses and employeeswithin the zone are charged an earn-ings tax that the municipality col-lects. Sycamore is setting up threezones – east, central and southwest –and set the earnings tax rate at .75percent. Madeira is the partner forthe east and central zones, while Am-berley Village has the southwestzone.

Sycamore Township’s zones willuse some notable borders. The Ken-wood business area east of Interstate71 that borders Madeira is the east

zone, the area between I-71 and Ken-woodRoad is the central zone and thesouthwest zone is locatedalongMont-gomeryRoad,westofKenwoodRoad.

Board of Trustees President TomWeidman, who presented the infor-mation at the meeting to residents,said that to close the budget deficitcaused by lower property values, theloss of estate tax and less fundingfrom the state, the two options wereto create the JEDZ or pass a continu-ing property tax levy.

MADEIRA—Thenegotiation toputaPaxton’sGrillin Madeira moved forward, but not without resi-dents questioning Madeira City Council’s motivesand lack of transparency in the process.

For more than two years, Madeira officials havebeen in discussions with the owner of Paxton’s Grillin Loveland, about potential development of the lotacross fromChoo Choo’s Restaurant at the intersec-tion of Railroad andMiami avenues. The lot has twohistoric homes rented by small businesses, and thecity is hoping to sell the site for development.

CityManagerTomMoeller says the revenuegen-erated fromthesaleof thepropertieswill helpcover

thecost ofmaintaining thestructures –acurrentnetloss to the city – as well as give residents a familyrestaurant.

“We generate about $36,000 per year in rent forthose properties, but the upkeep expenses are be-tween$55,000and$60,000meaningwehaveto trans-fer about $20,000 annually from the general fund,”Moeller said. “The revenue generated from sellingthe land means we should have as much as $100,000left over, once the cost of moving is paid for, thatwould be used for future maintenance of thehomes.”

Madeira Historical Society member and formerCouncilman Doug Oppenheimer says the way Ma-

Two historic homes on Miami Avenue in Madeira will be relocated if a development plan for Paxton’s restaurant isapproved. The homes are occupied by Creativities Arts&Crafts Studio and the Clothes Closet. JASON HOFFMAN/THE

Although other town-ships have similaragreements, they oper-ate as joint economic de-velopment districts. Allproperty owners withintheJEDDsare subject tothe tax, while only com-mercial properties andemployeeshave topay ina JEDZ, Weidman said.

Madeira and Amber-ley Village will collectthe additional taxes

from the earnings of em-ployees and businesses,then immediately take 3percent of that to covercollection costs. Thenthe rest is distributed 90percent to SycamoreTownship and10 percentto eitherMadeira orAm-berley Village. Town-ship residents who workin a JEDZ, however,have the opportunity toget their taxes back.They can request theirtaxes back from thetownship’s communityimprovement corpora-tion, or CIC.

Residents of othertownships or municipal-ities can’t get their taxesback. Because of reci-procity, most employeeswon’t see an increase intheir taxes. Instead of100 percent of their tax-

es going to the munici-pality they live in, em-ployees’ taxes will besplit 75 percent to Syca-more and 25 percent totheir residential govern-ment. Residents of Indi-an Hill, Forest Park,Wyoming, Silverton andAmberley Village, how-ever, who work in aJEDZ areawill see an in-crease in their earningstaxes, Weidman said.

Residents could ex-pect visitors at theirdoor to discuss the JEDZbefore the May 7 elec-tion. Although there’s anorganized effort for theJEDZ issues, Weidmansaid he didn’t know of anorganized group oppos-ing them.

deira officials negotiatedwith the developer ismore cloak and daggerthan business conductedin the best interest of thecity’s citizens.

“I am angry that mycouncil members havecompletely ignored thedesires, hopes and futureof the existing five busi-nesses located on Miamiand Railroad avenues,while feathering the nestfor the lone group desir-ing to build a new restau-rantoncityownedproper-ty,”Oppenheimersaid inaspeech to council March25.

The city, Oppenheimersaid, sought only one pro-posal for the land, contra-dicting a previouslypassed ordinance. Oppen-heimer hoped the citywould shelve the ordi-

nance and invite furtherpublic discourse, butcouncil unanimouslypassed it.

A business owner inone of the historic homesdoesn’t oppose relocatingher business, but thinksthe city and its residentswould be better served bya more thorough discus-sion. Christine Parker,owner and operator ofCreativities Arts andCrafts Studio in Madeira,said the move will notharm her business, butshe would thinks the cityisn’t utilizing the full po-tential of the space.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity todevelop, so let’s makesure we come up with thevery best use of thatland,” Parker said. “It’snot just some piece ofland, it’s the lone remain-ing, truly charming partof our downtown.”

City officials are miss-ing a great opportunity to

do something unique,Parker said, thatwould al-low the historic buildingsto stay in place and con-tinue to grow economicdevelopment in the down-town area. Parker hopestomakeherbusiness ana-tional brand headquar-tered in Madeira.

“There are lots of an-gles to this situation,”Parker said. “We need togive it the due diligence itdeserves.”

By passing ordinance13-15, Madeira council au-thorized exclusive negoti-ating rights to the lot forthe next 60 days with anoption to extend another60 if the developer sochooses. The ordinancemeans that no other entitywill be able to negotiatewith the city for owner-ship or development ofthe lot until the developereither goes through withthe purchase or fails toreach an agreement withthe city.

Brehm leads economicdevelopment in Forest Park

There’s no place likehome.

AndPaulBrehm,ForestPark’s new economic de-velopment direc-tor, is happy to bereturning to hishome communityand the job he leftin 2011.

Brehm, 49, tookthe job of villagemanager of Silver-ton in 2011 but nowhehas comeback tohis old jobdrivingeconom-ic development in ForestPark.

Forest Park City Man-ager Ray Hodges says thecity is fortunate to haveBrehm return at what hesays is a pivotal time in thecity’s economic growth.

“We knew that with thesluggish economy andbusinesses pulling back, itwould be nearly impossi-ble to get much traction ineconomic developmentgrowthduring the last cou-ple of years. Our plan wasto invest in our own com-munitywith road improve-ments, new streetscapes,removal of blighted prop-erty and positioning our-selves to come out aggres-

sively in 2013,” he said.Hodges said Brehm re-

turnsat anannual salaryof$106,904.93.

Hodges praised thework of Community De-velopment Director Chris

Anderson who hadbeen managing thecity’s planning andeconomic develop-ment programssince Brehm’s de-parture. He saidAnderson’s work onthe Waycross Roadimprovements andbusiness recruit-

ment projects kept ForestPark in a proactive posi-tion.

Brehm was with ForestPark for more than 18years, and served 15 yearsas its economic develop-ment director. As director,he managed the develop-ment program responsiblefor more than $300 millionin business investmentand 4,900 retained or cre-ated jobs. He also raisedmore than $1.3 millionfrom outside sources forvarious city programs.

Active in regional pro-jects as well, Brehm istreasurer for theHamiltonCounty Convention Facili-ties Authority and sits onthe board of directors for

the Hamilton County De-velopment Company.He isalso the facilitator for theOhio Basic Economic De-velopment Course, a train-ing program organized bythe Ohio Economic Devel-opment Association andcertified by the Interna-tional Economic Develop-ment Council.

Hodges said Brehm hasalways been great work-ing with the business com-munity and the city’s resi-dents.

“He has a wealth ofknowledge, a proven trackrecord, and his contacts inthe field of economic de-velopment are priceless,”Hodges said.

Brehm is looking for-ward to returning tohis oldjob. He said he thinks themain priorities in the citywill be revitalization of theNorthland Boulevard cor-ridor, the redevelopmentof Cincinnati Mall and at-tractingnew investment tothe Carillon Office Park.

“I have enjoyed mytime in Silverton, but thisis a chance to return to thecommunity I call homeand finish some of the pro-jects I had started,”Brehm said. “I missed be-ing in Forest Park; there isa lot of opportunity here.”

Indian Hill High School stu-dents aren’t only learning aboutcommunity service, they areputting it into action.

This year service learningwas incorporated into a leader-ship class at the school.

“Service learning is a differ-ent way to teach the class,” saidWendy Silvius, who teaches theclass and is also a communityservice coordinator at theschool. “(This) involves actualvolunteer work where the stu-dents are doing somethingmeaningful and authentic.

“(It’s) something that mat-ters to them and makes the ma-terial more relevant.”

The11students in the leader-ship and service learning classhave volunteered at a numberof different organizations rang-ing from the Madisonville Edu-cation and Assistance Centerfood pantry to Starfire, an or-ganization which helps peoplewith developmental disabili-ties.

This community servicehelps the students meet learn-ing goals in the class, Silviussaid.

Junior Rosie McCormick, of

Kenwood, learned a lot can beaccomplished even behind adesk.

“There are lots of differentways to do service,” said Mc-Cormick, who helps with officework at the Arington Founda-tion, a Christian service organi-zation.

JuniorMeganBierer, of Indi-an Hill, agreed.

“I (have) learned how givingback is very important,” shesaid.

The class has been involved

with a “Magnified Giving” ini-tiative in which the students re-search various local non-profitorganization. One of the organi-zationswill thenbechosen tore-ceive a monetary donation.

“We looked at smaller or-ganizations where the fundingwould have a greater impact,”said junior Jessica Arington, ofIndian Hill.

Theorganizationsundercon-sideration will submit an appli-cation which will be evaluatedby the students.

stricted by space, the JV softballteam has learned to be nimble ontheir feet once they hear the famil-iar whiz.

To be clear, Harmon gives a“headsup”shoutbeforeeachcircu-lar launch. He later takes a milkcrate with a handle and wheels andgathers up the divot-making discsas the girls continue play.

Harmon started throwing thediscus as a seventh-grader and hasgradually improved. His father,ChuckHarmon, is Deer Park’s newtrack coach and he’s very familiarwith the sport, having run colle-giately at the University of SouthDakota.

DEER PARK — It remains to beseenwhether or not they can be de-tected by radar, but spinningspheres can often be seen zingingthrough the air behind the Dillon-vale Walgreens on spring after-noons.

Members of Deer Park HighSchool’s junior varsity softballteam view these bird-chasing discsas commonplace when they landwith a thud on the dirt infield.

When an incoming plate is evi-dent, the left fielder voluntarilymoves to center and the secondbaseman “spots” the shortstop.

The flinger of these flying sau-cers has been identified as CoryHarmon, a 6-foot, 165-pound juniorat Deer Park.

No law-breaking here; Cory isDeer Park’s celebrated discusthrower.

A year ago, he made the statemeet as a sophomore. Now, whennot clearing out the Lady WildcatsJV infield, he’s winningmeets withhisability tohurl theweightedFris-bee significant distances using tre-mendous torque and principles ofphysics.

“Technique is what drives thethrow,” Deer Park throwing coachMattMoney said. “It startswith thegrip and ends with the spin anddrive. The biggest thing he does isstay square thewhole time and he’sable to come back and use the pow-er of his body and finish. It’s allabout the finish.”

From where Deer Park’s discusthrowing circle is, a good finishwould plop on second base. Re-

spectators.“They look at him like he’s not

really going to throw that far,”Money said. “He has the best tech-nique and drive of all of them. Ev-ery single thing he does is like anOlympian does. It’s perfectly done,perfectly straight and perfectlyfinished.

Added Harmon, “When I’mthrowing, I hear all kinds of reac-tion. It’s pretty entertaining.”

The juniorwants to throw in col-lege and participates during thenon-school season with USA Trackand Field.

He hopes to return to the statemeetandbetterhispersonalbestof167’3”.Ultimately,he’d like toget inthe 180-190’ range.

From the current launching padbeyond left field, that would besomewhere in the middle of firstand second base.

INDIAN HILL — Priorto the postseason, coachSusan Savage lost a keyrunner to her cross coun-try team last fall. Itwasn’t due to injury. In-stead, top runner ElenaHorton had a uniquehockeysabbatical toVer-mont.

Horton has beenstrapping on pounds ofgear, a facemask, stickand a pair of skates sinceshe was 4 years old.

“I left Sept. 29 rightafter the St. X meet,”Horton said. “I’ve beengone for fivemonths andgot back the first week-end of March. I was inStowe, Vt., playing withthe North AmericanHockey Academy, whichtakes girls from all overthe nation. They take na-tional caliber playersandhave100 percent col-lege placement.”

Horton’s experienceexposed her to playersfrom Alaska to Califor-nia to Texas. The endgame is findaspotononeof the few squads that of-fers Division I girlshockey.

The love of the gamecame from her father,who grew up skiing inVermont. Upon movingto Cincinnati, he took uphockey due to the lack ofslopes. Her older sister,Adrian, also plays, butnot at the competitivelevel of Elena. Youngersister, Rhian, doesn’tplay, nor does her young-er brother.

“I picked it up reallyfast,” she said. “This isthe first year actually Ididn’t play any boyshockey. It was kind ofweird playing (with) noboys this year.”

The competitivenessand skill set translateswell tocoachWaltHaag’slacrosse team where sheplays midfield. Her ver-satility helps, though shesometimes becomes ag-gravated sans skates.

“You have to be care-ful in girls lacrosse be-cause you can’t be phys-

ical, which is frustratingfor me,” Horton said. “It(hockey) helpswith stickskills for sure.”

After Indian Hill la-crosse, Horton will pre-pare for another seasonof cross country andhopes to stay with Sav-age longer before re-turning to the Northeastfor more female face-offs.

“It was devastating toleave early and not fin-ish,” Horton said. “I wasahead of my time pac-ings from sophomoreseason. Our team was soclose to going to state. Ifyou had factored in mytime, wewould’ve gone.”

Beyond Indian Hilland Vermont, Hortoncould conceivably landon U-18, U-22 or the U.S.National Team if every-thing works out.

Indian Hill junior Elena Horton prepares for a face-off.Horton played at a hockey academy this winter andplans to do so again next year with the goal of playingin college. PROVIDED

A publication of

DearMadeira City Council:I amwriting to expressmy

support of Creativities inMa-deira, as you ponder your bestnext steps forMadeira. I realizeyou’ve put countless hours intothe project to bring Paxton’s,and that you are keen to seeMadeira improve.

Andwhile I believe an af-fordable family sit-down res-taurant inMadeira is a desir-able business to have locatehere, I ask that you carefullyweigh the costs of such a deal.My biggest concern is that theloss of Creativities, the sale ofsome portion of the properties,and the cost and risk ofmovingtwo old housesmight well betoo high of a price to pay to gainamodest restaurant.

I don’t seethe price ofthis deal beingworth it. Bot-tom line, itseems like a lotof energy for anegligible gain.

I also don’tsee selling asmall portionof the property

to be in the long term interestsof the community. Somedaydown the road, it would be nicefor half or all of the entire block(Amarin’s, Do it Best,MadeiraMeats, B&B, etc...) to be as-sembled into a trulywonderfulmixed use development thatshowcases downtownMadeira.Paxton’smay ormay not be

around for a long time, and ifthey fail in five to 20 years likethe vastmajority of indepen-dent second location restau-rants, it would be a shame forthe potential development ofthis site to have onemore own-ership obstacle in theway.

I’ve been to Paxton’s and itisn’t a bad fit forMadeira. Butas youmay know, a one-unitrestaurant can encountermanypitfalls when it expands tomorethan one unit. Suddenly, aninfrastructure ofmanagementand support becomes para-mount as the hands-on ownercan’t be in two places at once.Many restaurants don’tmakethis transitionwell.

I’m also concerned abouthow you have not chosen to

work as hard to keep ChristineParker and Creativities, as youappear to haveworked to dis-place herwith Paxton’s. Thisdeal doesn’t seem like it has hadmuch transparency to it. I’mguessing you are relying on the2007 survey that said residentswant a sit down family restau-rant as a priority, but I’m notsure theywant one at the ex-pense of such a fine communityamenity like Creativities. Ibelieve that if you aremoretransparent with this deal to thecommunity, youwill get a bet-ter understanding of how yourconstituents really feel aboutthis deal.

I also think that not going outto public bid for proposals onthis site is amistake. By reach-

ing out to the public, developersand businesses alike in an openand transparent way, you haveamuch better chance of findingout what the community reallywants and also choosing thehighest and best use for thepeople ofMadeira.

I wish you the best successon this endeavor, and I hope youreach out to Christine and giveher every benefit possible tostay as a thriving business own-er inMaderia and I hope youopen up the transparency ofthis deal to theMadeira resi-dents aswell, so they can giveyou the valuable feedback youneed tomake this importantdecision.

Comments from local lead-ers about issues in the news:

Sure things – death,taxes and politics

“As families pore over acomplicated tax code to turnover the fruits of their labor toUncle Sam during the slowesteconomic recovery since the1940s, we are reminded of theneedtocreateapro-growth taxsystem that promotes job cre-ationandmakesAmericamorecompetitive. It’sestimatedthatAmerican taxpayers spentover6billionhourscompletingtheir tax forms this year. Ourtax code has become an obsta-cle to growth, and only a ro-bust, growing economy cancreate the new jobs that weneed.

“Whetherit’sfootingthegasbill, putting their childrenthrough college, or saving forretirement, families haveenough on their plate withouthaving toworry about an over-ly burdensome tax system.That’s why I will continue topush for pro-jobs tax reform –both individual andcorporate –to create the certainty andpre-dictability needed for familiesto grow and businesses tohire.”

– U.S. Sen. Rob Portman

Worth the wait“I am pleased that some of

my colleagues finally realized

how important this issue is forOhio’s military families Thislaw is long overdue in Ohio. Itisarelativelysmallact thathasthe potential to produce sig-nificant and positive results inthe lives of military families.”

“I have been working to getthis legislation enacted intolawfor several yearsnow. I amglad that advocacy and issueawareness have finally paidoff. Now, those who dutifullyserve our country will no long-er put their families at such adisadvantage if they are re-quired to relocate.”

– State Rep. Connie Pillich(D-Montgomery) after her leg-islative proposal to ensure un-employment compensation formilitary spouses has been in-cluded in preliminary budgetchanges releasedbyHouseRe-publicans.

Ignoring the basics“With this budget, the legis-

latureincreasesstatespendingby over $7 billion, but short-changes our public schools. Bydoing so, it short-changes ourfuture. A strong and vibranteconomy is intrinsically tied toa strong public education sys-tem. The legislature has aban-doned its duty to our statewiththis selfish, misguided bill.”

– State Rep. Connie Pillich(D-Montgomery) on the budgetpassed by the Ohio House ofRepresentatives

POLITICALLY SPEAKING

Portman steals our voiceRecentlyU.S.Sen.RobPort-

manvotedagainst allowing thegun control legislation beingconsidered to go to the Senatefloor for debate.

It should be noted that Port-man was one of the largest re-cipients of NRAmoney duringhis last election.Thismayhavebeen a factor in his decision.

His vote sets a dangerousand arrogant precedent.

No matter what side of thisissue an Ohio voter stands on,there will come a future issuethat they feel strongly andpas-sionately about.

Dowewant our electedoffi-cials to not even allow an issueto go to the Senate floor for de-bate?

Manygunownerstalkof theneed for gun ownership be-cause they are concerned thatat some point the governmentwill come and attempt taketheirproperty. In thiscaseSen.Portman has taken somethingfar more valuable from Ohio

residents. He has taken theirvoice.

The fact that it was aterrorist act is inescap-able, however, and itgot me thinking as tocauses. For what it isworth I have a fewthoughts that I wantedto share. After all, we canglean positive out of anythingif we can share our thoughtscollectively.

My first thought was, “whowould think that such an actwould produce a positive re-sult for their cause?” Moreinterestingly, “who would wit-ness such an attack and say‘what a great thing to do! Imust join these people and dothe same to make the worldbetter for us.’” Certainly,someone with a good, seculareducation would be less likelyto think that such an act wouldbe a good thing.

This is the crux of the mat-ter. Education. I don’t carewhere these people comefrom, be it Pakistan or Padu-cah, whenever they appear,they always come from a back-ground of ignorance, which isthen carefully and unscrupu-lously molded into fanaticism.

Our educational system,while more universal thanmany, is still too parochial fora globalized planet. When weinvaded Afghanistan, I remem-ber seeing a piece on televisionthat asked young people topoint out Afghanistan, Iraq orIran on a map. Far too manyhad no idea where to look.

You will notice thatI mentioned “seculareducation.” I believethat religious educa-tion has value, impor-tantly for the moraland ethical values itcan impart. An exclu-sively religious educa-tion, such as taught inmadrasas in the Mid-dle East today or

Catholic and Protestantschools in Ireland in the 19th

and 20th centuries, can be thebirthplace of ignorance, preju-dice and eventually terrorism.

Secular education, of goodquality, is a big part of eradi-cating terrorism. If we are tospend part of our nationalbudget on foreign aid in thename of fighting terrorism,then it should not be exclusive-ly on arms or helping despotsmaintain a grip on power. Itshould be spent on schools andteachers, books and comput-ers, for people around theworld.

With the Internet, it hasbecome easier to spreadknowledge and information.We have a textbook case in theArab Spring. When people seethe world getting a taste forknowledge and information,the natural result is a yearningfor freedom and advancement.

We can still dream of amore educated global pop-ulation, where the love oflearning produces a love offreedom, and that, in turn,produces a more peacefulworld.

April 17 questionDoes North Korea’s threat of a

pre-emptive nuclear strike againstthe U.S. and its restart of a reactorthat generates weapons-gradeplutonium concern you. Why orwhy not?

“Ofcourse it concernsme.Wecannot trust N. Korea any morethanwe can China. These peopleareourenemiesandwebetterbeonourguardatall times.IfKorealaunches a nuclear bomb I knowwhat my response would be, butwith our government I amafraidthatallwewoulddoisapologize.”

Dave D.

“It’s funny that the North Ko-rean government is huffing andpuffing, and they surely havefooled generations of Koreansinto believing that their power is

so great. Americans know thatAmerica is being ruined fromwithinby its ownelectedgovern-ment as it creates a similar wel-fare state, but Korean citizensseem to be giving full authorityto their leaders to destroy theirhomeland, permanently.”

K.P.

“Anything and everythingNorth Korea does has me con-cerned, especially the threat ofnuclear weaponry. In my opi-nion, this country has been, iscurrently, andwill continue to beunstable.”

Park District RecreationManager Neal Ramsey said par-ticipants can expect to hook animpressive catch.

“In a typical tournament insouthwest Ohio, the fish wouldweigh about 10-14 pounds total,”Ramsey said. “That’s really goodand would likely win.

“AtSharonWoodsLake,you’dneed to be in the 16-20 pound

range.”The anglers will weigh five

catches, with fish measuring atleast 12 inches. The total weightfromall fiveweekswill be addedup to determine a winner.

Eachnight of the tournament,$25gift cardswill begivenaway.

Ramsey said the lake has de-veloped a substantial supply ofbass.

“SharonWoodsLakehas beenmanaged in a way that hasmadeit a trophy bass lake,” he said.“It’s a small, catch and releaselake, so over the past 20 years, ithasgrownsomereally largefish.Iseebiggerweightscaughttherethan at much bigger lakes.”

Anglers can register at theSharonWoods Boathouse.

BLUE ASH — Leaders fromfour communities gathered todeliver meals on wheels tohomebound seniors as part ofnational Mayors for Meals Day.

“I completely love it whencivic officials get civically en-gaged,” said Joshua Howard,Sycamore Senior Center direc-tor. “It’s very positive for themto see the value that programslike meals on wheels provide.”

Listen to local leaders talkabout the program.

This is the first year for theprogram,andafterreachingoutto more than 30 communities,Howard was pleased to see

members of five nearby com-munities participate.

“It gets the leaders out thereat the ground level to see theirconstituents, but also the volun-teers out there working in thecommunity,” Howard said.

Blue Ash Vice Mayor LeeCzerwonka participated in theevent – being run for the firsttime in Sycamore – and said theprograms run by the center area great benefit tothe community.

“This really is agreat organizationand facility for allour senior resi-dents,” Czerwonka said. “Theprogramming they put on is ex-cellent, and city leadership ismore than willing to get behindthis great cause.”

To deliver the meals, offi-cials were paired with volun-teers who deliver meals onwheels weekly.

Robert Pelz, ofMontgomery,has beenworkingwithmeals on

wheels for 11 years, and said helikes the programbecause stay-ing busy keeps him as young aspossible while helping out hisneighbors.

In addition to deliveringmeals, Pelz also said he helpsoutwith cuttinggrass anddoingodd jobs around the neighbor-hood.Pelz is oneofmore than20community members that helprun the meals on wheels pro-

gramout of theSyc-amore Senior Cen-ter.

Czerwonka vol-unteered alongsideDeer Park Mayor

Dave Collins, Deer Park SafetyServices Director Michael Be-rens, Sharonville Mayor KevinHardman, Silverton MayorJohn Smith and Reading CityManager Patrick Ross.

What a difference afew warm days make.

The Caudill kids wholive down the roadbrought me a baggie fullof wild violets that theypatiently picked. I’ll addthat to what I’ve pickedand I’ll have enough tomake a batch of violetjelly (so gourmet!) andviolet vinegar.

Afterthey left, Istartedpullingweedsaway fromthe elder-berrybusheswhen Ihappenedto lookover at the

asparagus patch. Beauti-ful asparagus poking upeverywhere! And a cou-ple of the stalks werealready feathering out atthe top, which meansthey’re too tough to eat.Well, I stopped what Iwas doing, ran into thehouse to get a paringknife and basket, andstarted harvesting aspar-agus. I got about a poundfrom his first cutting,and that’s pretty good.

Asparagus can helpdetoxify our system, hasanti-aging properties andnot only reduces the riskof heart disease, but itcan help prevent birthdefects. It’s in seasonnow so pick some up atyour local farmer’s mar-ket or grocery. Like allseasonal, local produce,asparagus contains opti-mum nutrition levelsright now.

Roasted asparaguswith brie

Sound different? Ifirst tasted this whenTomKeegan of Keegan’sSpecialty Seafood inMount Washington was aguest on my cable show.“Wemake this all thetime to serve alongsideour entrees for our class-es,” he said. (Check outhis site at www.keegan-seafood.com). No kid-ding, asparagus this wayis addictive.

Here’s my adaptation:Snap tough ends off.

Lay in single layer onbaking sheet. Sprinklewith lemon pepper. Re-move rind from brie (it’sedible but a bit tough andis easier to do when thecheese is cold). Lay slicesof brie on top. Roast orgrill at high temperature(475 degrees) for a fewminutes or until aspara-gus just starts to wrinklebut turns bright greenand is still plump andBrie starts to melt.

Each Thursday morn-ing at 7:20 a.m., I have alive segment on SacredHeart Radio with BrianPatrick about Bible foodsand herbs. Recently wetalked about carrots andturnips (check out myblog for a recap). Aboutan hour later, a fax camein with this recipe “froma fan.” He/she indicatedthat “the stew is deli-cious.” That’s whatmakes this column sofun, the ability to sharerecipes like this. I’ll bemaking this as soon asour carrots and turnipsare ready!1⁄2to 3⁄4pound bulk pork

This is something I’veseen happen severaltimes.

Many companies ad-vertise they’ll get you afree roof. Actually, whathappens is they workwith your insurance com-pany and your insurancecompany pays for theroof. But I’ve learned youhave to be very carefulwhen dealing with thesefirms.

Sharon Brooks haslived in her North Col-lege Hill house for fiveand a half years. She saidshe started getting leaksfrom her roof. “My backroom started to leak andlast summer when therewas a windstorm that

camethroughwith heavywinds andrain, itstarted toleak evenworse,”she said.

Brookssaid herson knew

somebody that workedwith a roof repair firm,so she called. “He cameout, walked the roof andsaid I definitely needed anew roof,” Brooks said.

An insurance adjusterchecked the roof andtalked with the roof re-pairman, but only autho-rized minor repairs to the

roof. However, he agreedthere was major damagein her back room. “So,they did print out a checkthat day. I signed it overto him,” Brooks says.

The check was formore than $1,200 andBrooks says the firmstarted working rightaway. “The guy took allof the paneling off theback room and put it inmy backyard and left itthere. Now I have nowalls on my back room,”she said.

In fact, that was thelast she saw of that com-

pany. The problem hereis that Brooks signedover the entire insurancecheck to the roofer be-fore any work had beendone.

“He said that that’s themoney that would gethim started on purchas-ing the material,” Brookssaid.

If the company doesn’thave enough money to dothe job without first get-ting your money, then Ibelieve you should lookfor a different firm. Geta firm that’s been in busi-ness long enough to both

have money and goodcredit to get the neededmaterials.

Brooks said the con-tractor walked off the joblast September. He hadbought some drywall, butit was just sitting on thefloor of the room unin-stalled. Brooks said theroom is worse now thanits ever been. “Theynever answer the phone.I’ve left numerous mes-sages,” she said.

So I contacted thecompany and am happyto report they sent out aworker to finish the

room. In addition, Brookssaid her son was able tostop the leaks.

Bottom line, when youget an insurance check,don’t sign it over to therepair company. Instead,deposit it into your ownbank account and pay thefirm a little at a time. Itshould all be spelled outin a written contract.

Cincinnati CountryDay School students haveexplored a new type ofart: glass.

Carol Lichty-Smith,fine arts departmentchairwoman and artteacher, introduced aGlass Club this schoolyear. She has also startedto include a study of glassin the advanced place-ment photographycourses.

“It was a different me-dium,” she said.

Lichty-Smith said herinterest in glass began af-

ter she started takingglass classes at the Bra-zee Street Studios.

She said she wanted tointroduce the artistic pos-sibilities of glass to thestudents. In addition toseveral field trips to the

Brazee Street Studios, thestudents completed a pro-ject in which they usedglass to create a collage offaces.

A Glass Club was alsostarted in which the stu-dents have created jewel-

ry, ornaments and otheritems.

“I got involved (in theclub) because it soundedunique and different,”said freshman DonovanSalter, of Fairfield.

Salter said he has al-ready made several giftsfor friends as well as sev-eral ornaments for theholidays.

“I like being able tomake stuff that will beused,” he said.

Junior Sarah Mueller,of Mount Adams, said shealso appreciated theuniqueness of the GlassClub.

“I thought it would be agood experience,” shesaid.

Lichty-Smith said theclub and study of glass inthe classroom are still in

the early stages, but she islooking forward to thepossibilities both provide.

“Glass allows for (a)3D approach to art,” shesaid.

For sophomore Lind-sey Jarrell, head of theGlass Club, it’s more thanjust a different artisticmedium.

“Everything you makewith glass is so beautifuland elegant,” she said.
