COLLECTION TIME

As two girls work on openstudio projects in one room anda group of adults learn to sewupstairs, there is no way to tellfrom the inside of The Much-moreHouse that its future is of-ten debated by the city of Ma-deira, a committee, a commis-sion and a group of residentswanting tomake it part of a his-toric district.

Creativities, 7010 MiamiAve., is an arts and craft studiothat sells arts andcraft suppliesand offers open studio time, artclasses, sewing and fashionclasses, workshops and birth-day parties.

“Creativities is really justabout getting creativity. Wedon’t care if it’s called a fine artor a trade or a craft,” said Cre-ativities owner Christine Park-er, who leases the house formthe city.

Parker said with school sys-temsfocusingsomucheffortonincreasing test scores, childrenhavemore need for a creativityoutlet.

“If you are going to raise thebar in what they have to do andnot lengthen the time, you havetokick somethingout.Andwhatis getting kicked out is the timeto take a concept throw itaround, change it up and dosomething totally differentwith that,” Parker said.

Parker said that kind ofthinking could lead to the nextbig science breakthrough, butin Creativities it is a child whocouldn’t make waves look likewhat he wanted with paint andrealizing he could with beads.

Parker’s idea forCreativities

started when she was workingas a marketing consultant, spe-cializing in summer camps. Shebegan to see that for both chil-dren and adult summer campsthe craft house was incrediblypopular.

“The kids have like 8 millionchoices and here they are, lineout the door at the craft house.And that just jumped off thepage at me. Why do you have togo to summer camp to have thatexperience of a wide variety ofthings to do and make?” Parkersaid.

Though Parker had the ideafor about 15 years, the timingwasn’t right and the locationwas not available until 2009.

“I had always pictured thishouse. I always thought ‘if sheever moves out, what a neatplace to make such a communi-ty oriented type of business,’”Parker said sitting at the crafttable on the first floor of theMuchmore house.

The Muchmore house wasbuilt in1900byEliza andJosephMuchmore, Madeira HistoricalSociety Spokesman Doug Op-penheimer said.

In the 1930s the Muchmores’daughter, Maude, marriedCharles Hosbrook, who livednext door in the Hosbrookhouse. The two had one child,Cleo Hosbrook, and she inheri-ted both houses. Cleo Hosbrookdonated both the houses to thecity in 1990, Oppenheimer said.

The house has also served ascity officeswhile the newmuni-cipal building was being built,was home to Fiber Licious, andthen sat vacant andwas heavilyrenovated after burst pipes

Creativity andgrowth in theMuchmore HouseByMarika [email protected]

Dozens of hauntedhouse attractionsopen up each Octo-ber throughout

Greater Cincinnati in thehopes of scaring the pants offthrill seekers.

From the Dent Schoolhouseto the USS Nightmare, today’scommercial haunted house in-dustry can thank the oldWSAIradio station and the Syca-more-Deer Park Jaycees forsetting the foundation for localhorror.

“We put on the first com-mercial haunted house in theUnited States in 1970,” saidCincinnati garden expert Den-ny McKeown, who organizedthe nation’s first haunt for theJaycees and the radio station,which was based in Price Hillat the time.

“I had done a very success-ful fundraiser for the Syca-more-Deer Park Jaycees and Igot a call from the new pro-gram director at WSAI whosaid he wanted to do a hauntedhouse to raise money for char-ity, and he asked me to help.

“I jumped all over it,” hesaid.

McKeown recruited volun-teers from the Jaycees, aswellas a teacher and students fromElderHigh School, andwent towork building the hauntedhouse in a home on St. ClaireAvenue in Clifton.

“We made a lot of mistakes

that first year, it was trial anderror, but we still managed tomake $21,000 for charity. Thatwas quite a lot of money backthen,” he said.

Price Hill resident RoyHotchkiss, whose brother wasthe Elder art teacher who sup-plied students to help with thehaunted house and play ghoulsand ghosts, volunteered his ar-tistic talents to help design the

haunt.“There were 16 rooms in

that first house full of all theclassic monsters, Franken-stein, Dracula and the Wolf-man, aswell asmummies andatalking head,” Hotchkiss said.

“Those early hauntedhouses were really low tech bytoday’s standards. We used afew commercial Halloweenmasks, wigs and grease paint,but there were no ready-mademacabreprops like thereareattoday’s Halloween shows. Ifyou wanted something specialit had to be built.

“That’s what I did for thoseearly haunted houses. I builtscary stuff,” he said.

McKeown said the secondyear for the haunt is when theevent really took off.

They set up the productionin an old house in Reading, andhe said they raised $121,000that year. Admission was only$1per person, whichmeant thehaunted house attracted morethan 120,000 guests that year,he said. The Jaycees donatedthemoney tobuild twocommu-nity centers.

“No one has ever done whatwe did that second year,” hesaid.

The Jaycees and WSAI puton a fundraising haunt everyyear until the early 1980s,McKeown said, and everyhauntwasheld inadifferent lo-cation throughout the city andits whereabouts were kept se-

After saying the elec-tion would not affect itsdecision, the Madeiracommittee charged withmaking a decision abouthistoric houses has decid-ed to wait to see what thevoters say.

The Madeira Econom-ic Development Commit-tee agreed to table its rec-

ommendation to MadeiraCity Council to sell thecity-owned Hosbrook andMuchmore houses, 7014and 7010MiamiAve.,withrestrictive covenants un-til after the Nov. 4 elec-tion.

“There isnourgency. Itis better to make a gooddecision than a fast deci-sion,” Committee mem-ber and Vice Mayor Mel-isa Adrien said.

Issue 13, which will beon theballot onNov. 4,willadd an amendment to theMadeira city charter thatwouldmake theHosbrookand Muchmore housesand the train depot part ofa “historic district.”

City Solicitor BobMal-loy said the amendmentgives nothing for the cityto enforce because Ma-deira does not have a his-toric district. Doug Op-penhemier, one of the citi-

zens behind the amend-ment, said he is planningon a second amendment –if the first one passes – tocreate a district in thecity.

The committee also ta-bled the sale recommen-dation so it has time to re-view thedocuments aboutthe original donation ofthe properties by CleoHosbrook to the city.

At theOct.13citycoun-cilmeeting, residentToddWoellner presented fiveletters between the city ofMadeira and Hosbrook’sattorney from 1987 to1992. In the first three let-ters, the city expressedinterest in Hosbrook’sproperties and said itwanted to preserve andprotect the property aspart of the city. In the lasttwo, Hosbrook’s attorneysaid she will donate theland and had the under-

standing both propertieswith their standing build-ings would be preserved.

Spencer withdrew hermotion to talk about thesale recommendation forthe houses at the Oct. 13meeting because shewould like to go over thedocuments.

The committee alsowent over the financialanalysis for the houses.

“I think it is helpful butI think it is very specula-tive,”CommitteememberandCouncilmanTomAsh-more said.

The analysis rangedfrom the city losing$80,000bykeepingandre-pairing the houses to thecity making $670,000 byselling them.

was approved by the cityin October 2009, but withthe success of Creativi-ties she has been planningto expand for a coupleyears.

“This started out as anoffice, but it was quicklyoverrun with extra sup-plies,” Parker said goinginto thesmallofficeonthesecond floor, adding theroom that used to be a

playroomforherkidswasalso turned into storage.

Parker said she wantsto expand so there ismoreroom for parents at birth-day parties, a gift shop,larger events and wood-working and potteryclasses.

Parker then went tohelpa familywithayoungdaughter that came in foropen studio. She startedpulling out painting sup-plies as employee Jenni-fer Schorr set up the sup-plies to make clay beads.Parker told the girl it wasfine if she got paint on thepaper-covered table or

the paint-stained chairs.Thegirlmentionedglitterand Schorr went rushingto the clay section to get apack of the purple glitterclay.

“We need more squarefootage and a differentlayout of rooms. When Iopened Creativities I al-ways thought this is goingto be a multiple studiocompany,” Parker said.

cret until the morning ofthe opening.

Proceeds from thehaunts went to organiza-tions like the CincinnatiRecreation Commission,Camp Stepping Stones,Teen Challenge Cincin-nati and Longview Hospi-tal. Over the years, morethan $500,000 was raisedfor charity.

“We did a lot of good,and nobody involved evertook a dime,” McKeownsaid. “We used to prideourselves on givingback.”

Hotchkiss said the1972haunted house on GrandAvenue in Price Hill washis first chance to designthe entire place.

“You entered a railedpathway through a verydark hallway with fog allaround. You turned a cor-ner and had to cross arickety bridge over Hell.We had torn out the floorin that roomand created atableau depicting my im-pression of Hades,” hesaid.

“You traveled onthrough rooms with psy-chedelic lights, mysteri-ous coffins with flyingcorpses, mad surgeonsperforming unseemly op-erations on distraughtdamsels. There wasn’tanything funny about ourhauntedhouses.Wekept arecord of how many peo-ple fainted.”

McKeown fondly re-called one house that fea-tured a slide to get guestsfrom the third floor downto the second, where they

then got caught up in a gi-ant cobweb. He said thefirst night it opened peo-ple were getting stuck onthe slide, so he and someother volunteers went todiagnose the problem.

“Kids were peeing intheir pants as they wentdown the slide,” helaughed. “There are a lotof funny stories fromthose days.”

Hotchkiss said, in hisopinion, the very bestWSAI haunted house wasin 1974 on Victory Park-way near Xavier Univer-sity.

“Itwas theDollyCohenMansion and it was im-mense,” he said. “Thiswas my favorite hauntedhouse and I designed ev-ery room. Our whacky lit-tle Halloween hauntinggrew from a freaky fund-raiser to full-on horrify-ing Hollywood produc-tions.”

McKeown said the vol-unteers put a lot of workand effort into putting ona great production be-cause they knew the pro-ceeds went to worthycauses, but they all had alot of fun also.

Northeast HamiltonCounty once again findsitself ground zero for oneof the closest Statehouseraces in Ohio, completewith cross-party endorse-ments, buckets of admon-ey and two native sonsduking it out.

Democrat Micah Kam-rass, fresh off a law de-gree at Ohio State, has le-veraged hometown con-

nections and an easy-go-ing personality to rack upstrong fundraising totalsand some support fromGOP-leaning officials andvoters.

Still, Democratic gu-

bernatorial candidate EdFitzGerald’s woes arelikely to hurt turnoutamong left-leaning vot-ers. What’s more, Kam-rass is likely to fall far be-hind his opponent, Madei-raattorneyJonathanDev-er, in all-importantcampaign spending.

That’s becauseDever’s66-vote GOP primary vic-tory has positioned him tobenefit from the hun-dreds of thousands of dol-lars – if notmore –Repub-licans are capable ofdumping into the race.Through a Dever victory,the GOP would wrestback the 55 percent Re-publican district held byoutgoing Rep. ConniePillich, D-Montgomery.

Bothmen are newcom-ers to Statehouse races,but not to politics. Kam-rass represented 40,000as student body presidentatOhio State,whileDeverlast year aided the Coali-tion Opposed to Addition-al Spending and Taxes inits fight against the Cin-cinnati streetcar and hasinterviewed with theHamilton County Repub-lican Party about seekinga judgeship.

They’re duking it outoveroneof thefewGener-alAssemblydistricts splitrather evenly betweenRepublicans and Demo-crats. That’s led Kamrassto accuse Dever of “teaparty extremism” and in-spired Republicans to runads questionably linkingKamrass to fraudulentvoter MeloweseRichardson.

Bothmen talkof reach-ing across party lines, butwhat they’d actually do inthe Statehouse is a bit of amystery on some issues.

For instance, in a sur-vey for Right to Life ofGreater Cincinnati, Dev-er said he supported bansonabortion fromfertiliza-tiontobirth,except topro-

tect the mother. He toldThe Enquirer editorialboard he wanted to “pro-tect and preserve inno-cent life” but favored pre-venting abortion throughpersonal conversations.“I just don’t believe youcan shove somethingdown someone’s throat.”In lieu of a position on theHeartbeat Bill, whichwould prevent abortionsafter the first detectablefetal heartbeat, Deversaid he didn’t believe thebill would get a vote in theHouse.

Kamrass has beenmore forthcoming abouthis views on social issues.But it’s unclear wherehe’d vote on some tax is-sues that are likely to belumped together in a Re-publican-sponsored bud-get. For instance, he sup-ports increasing the taxonoil andgasproducedbyfracking and wants to usetax incentives to keepgraduating college stu-dents in Ohio. But he op-poses Republicans’ 2013decision to raise Ohio’ssales tax by a quarter of apercentage point to fundincome tax cuts.

The Hamilton Countydistrict, stretching fromMadeira and Montgome-ry on the east to ForestPark and Greenhills onthe west, is considered aprize for either party. (In2010, outgoing DemocratPillich defeated tea partyleader Mike Wilson ofSpringfield Township byonly 600 votes.)

GOP leaders redrewthedistrict in2011tofavortheir party, but a brutalprimary race in Maycould have neutralizedsome of the advantage forDever. He won the raceafter negative campaign-ing against Blue Ash CityCouncilman Rick Bryan,turningoffmanyRepubli-

cans in the area – someopenly, some quietly.

Kamrass has beenendorsed by RepublicansDoyle Webster, mayor ofSpringdale, and WalterReuszer, formermayor ofBlue Ash. Other Republi-cans, such as Mayor LeeCzerwonka of Blue Ashand Bryan himself, have

said they can’t supportDever, but they havestopped short of endors-ing Kamrass.

Dever holds the GOPendorsement advantage,withdozensofRepublicanofficials’ support. But hehas failed to get supportfrom some key GOP-lean-ing political action groups, such as the Ohio Cham-ber PAC and the Ohio So-ciety of CPAs. Dever at-tributed his lack of en-dorsement from the

chamber PAC to his oppo-sition to Common Core,which thegroup supports.But the chamber’s politi-calmanagerdisputed thatreasoning, saying thegroupdidn’t seemuchof adifference between Kam-rass and Dever on busi-ness issues.

It was Kamrass, notDever, who came awaywith the endorsementfrom the Cincinnati AreaBoard of Realtors andOhio Board of Realtors.

ON THE ISSUES

TRANSITKamrass: Supports developing a plan forregional transportation, linking Cincin-nati, suburbs and airport. Could includemoney for rail and possibly streetcar.Dever:We need a better highway system,since tractor-trailer shipping and commut-ing by car aren’t going away. “The street-car sounds great, but you can’t afford it.You can’t operate it.… I don’t mind look-ing at every option. The big concern I haveon any project like this is how are yougoing to pay for it, who’s going to use it,and how are you going to operate it?”

SAME-SEXMARRIAGEKamrass: Supports legalizing it. Believesthe courts will legalize it in Ohio, as partof a “wave of history.” Voters shouldn’t beable to “take away constitutional rights”by outlawing same-sex marriage.Dever: “What two consenting adults do

in the privacy of their home is their busi-ness. As an attorney, I believe in the FirstAmendment and the freedom of contract.However, marriage has from its inceptionexisted between man and woman. I amnot interested in disrupting traditionalmarriage because it exists as a religiousrite. I do not want churches and syna-gogues to be forced to redefine marriageby the government. That is a violation oftheir First Amendment rights.”

EDUCATIONKamrass: The third-grade reading guar-antee is a punishment, not a guarantee.“A guarantee would be investing in pre-school.”Dever: Opposes Ohio’s participation in theCommon Core standards

RIGHT TOWORKKamrass: Opposes it.Dever: “The voters should deal with it ifthey want to deal with it.”

“The children got really ex-cited when they saw the big or-ange recycling truck pick upour school’s massive quantityof recycling, so we decided itwouldbefun to talkwith theex-perts in charge,” said Lee AnnBertsch, Pre-K II teacher. “Weinvited the people who workfor Indian Hill Public Worksinto the classroom to answersome of our burning questionsabout recycling.”

Students interviewed theworkers and got to see, first-hand, how the bins are liftedinto the trucks. When askedabout the most exciting part ofthe visit, the unanimous an-swerwas, “watching thebig or-ange truck compact the recy-cling!”

Deer Park CommunitySchools

Three Deer Park Communi-ty Schools principals - SonnyTudor from Holmes PrimarySchool, DaveBergen fromAm-ity Elementary School, andKevin Casey from Deer ParkJ./Sr. High School - will be pit-ted against each other in theDeer Park Business Associa-tion Chili Challenge, Friday,

» OnOct. 11, the Consortiumfor Entrepreneurship Educa-tion Forum, a national gather-ing that is part of the 2014MBAConclave Curriculum& Teach-ing Conference held at theMil-lennium Hotel in downtownCincinnati, featured the DeerPark Career Academies.

“Entrepreneurship is on ev-erybody’s mind these days, es-pecially when it comes to edu-

cating our youth on the chal-lenges of finding the perfectcareer. For many students, theprospect of starting their ownbusinessor runninganexistingfamily business is a real possi-bility that requires aunique setof skills not often cultivated inthe traditional high school set-ting,” said Jay Phillips, Direc-tor of Curriculum atDeer ParkCommunity City School Dis-trict.

At Deer Park Junior/SeniorHigh School, the students have

the option to learn and explore“what it feels like” to be an en-trepreneur in the “Entrepre-neurship Academy,” which ispart ofDeerParkCareerAcad-emies. This new elective pro-gram, just launched this schoolyear, was featured at the Con-sortium for EntrepreneurshipEducation Forum.

The forum draws crowds ofnearly two hundred educators,administrators, entrepre-neurs, and business profes-sionals from thirty-five states

to explore every facet of entre-preneurship in education. In-cluded in the invited present-ersat special sessionswereMr.Jay Phillips, Director of Curri-culum forDeer ParkCity Com-munity Schools, and Mr. DougArthur of Cincinnati-basedTransform Consulting and de-signer of the Deer Park CareerAcademies program.

Phillips and Arthur ex-plained to conference attend-ees thepath that led todevelop-ment of this new strategy atDeer Park, and some of the les-sons learned as the team atDeer Park launches the firsttwo academies for Deer Parkstudents – “EntrepreneurshipAcademy 101” and “Digital In-structional Design Academy101.” The vision and plan is tocontinue to add new academiesevery year for the next severalyears, providing Deer Parkstudents with a unique oppor-tunity to explore many differ-ent career pathways availableto them after high school.

INDIAN HILL — Though theylost basically a half squad ofseniors from 2013’s Division IIstate semifinal team, IndianHill High School’s boys soccerteam ended 2014 with a proudeffort.

After finishing the regularcampaign at .500 plus a pair ofties (7-7-2) the Braves won twoshutouts in the sectional tourna-ment before being shut outthemselves, 1-0 by McNicholasOct. 20.

“It was a good matchup be-tween two very good teams,”coach Bill Mees said. “We hadsome really good chances andthey had some good chances.We hit the crossbar in the firsthalf and had a couple of finger-tip saves made against us.”

Unlike last season, whenMeessaidgoodbye to11seniors,this year’s class was only five:ChrisDuncanAustinSchneider,James Pflughaupt, Sam Mar-kiewitz and Brooks Renfro.

Duncan, Schneider and Ren-fro were all starters in last sea-son’s longrun.Schneider led theteam in scoring this season, fol-lowed by junior Casey McClaywho came on late.

“He was with us last seasonas a sophomore and saw inter-mittent time,” Mees said. “Hebecame a pretty importantpieceof themachine forusveryquickly this year.”

McClayshouldbeaproduceragain next year along with cur-rent sophomore Matteo Fiore,the team’s third-leading scorer.

The Braves finished 9-8-2

The season has played outsomewhat like the movie“Groundhog Day.”

Like last fall, to get to thestate semifinals, Mount NotreDameHighSchool’s fieldhock-ey teamhadtodefeatUrsuline.A 2-0 win over Fairmont onOct. 22 put the Cougars in the“elite eight” matchup with thetop seed from Blue Ash.

TheLions’No.1seedwas anissuewithMNDas they had al-ready defeated them 2-1 onSept. 25. While the two GirlsGreater Catholic Leagueschools share common beliefs,on the field it’s Hatfields andMcCoys.

“I would sayUrsuline is ourbiggest rivalry in field hock-ey,” coach Beth Vonderbrinksaid. “Feels like it’s a repeat oflast year.”

Exactly one month afterthey last met, the Cougars andLions had a classic confronta-tion Saturday, with MND pre-vailing again 4-3 to earn a sec-ond consecutive trip to UpperArlington and the Division Istatesemifinals.Theywillplayat noon Friday against ShakerHeights at Upper Arlington.

According to the teamTwit-ter account@MND_FH,MountNotre Dame has gone two sea-sons undefeated in the SouthWest Ohio Field HockeyLeague – all 20 games.

Several seniors will nowhave their swansong inColum-bus.

Among those departingfromthisyear’screwwhohaveledMNDareMoriahFlynn,Sa-rah Pisciotta, Ashley Wittmanand Caroline Warming. AllyBenz has been in goal, shuttingout numerous opponents.

“We really rely on her lead-

ership in the backfield,” Von-derbrink said. “Most of theseniors have played fouryears. They know what it’s allabout, they know what it takesto be ready.”

Thus far, only one seniorwill be playing in college nextseason, and thatwill be in a dif-ferent sport. Flynn has com-mitted to play for an up-and-coming lacrosse program atMarquette. Vonderbrink feelshermental andphysical tough-nesswill suitherwell in theBigEast.

“She’s very aggressive andknows how to handle herself incompetitive situations,” Von-derbrink said. “We call her‘The Bulldog.’ ”

MND SETS SIGHTSON STATE TITLEBy Scott [email protected]

Second-year head coach To-ny Ripberger has his Madeiraboys’ soccer team the on trajec-tory he wants – up and coming.

Despite a couple bumps inthe road early, the Mustangswon seven of their final 10games and claimed a share ofsecond place in the CincinnatiHills League.

“I think the entire seasonwent right,” Ripberger said.“We had a couple blips here andthere. We had a red card earlyand that took out our startinggoalkeeper (junior CameronMcCoulough) for two keygames, twoofwhichendedup inlosses and one of which shouldnever havebeen a loss.Oncewegot him back, we stabilized andplayed really well at the end ofthe season.”

The season ended for theMustangs with a 4-1 postseasonloss to Seven Hills Oct. 20. Itwas the final game for seniordefenderZaneKuntzandseniormidfielders Trenton Davis andGusWulsin.

Thatmeansmost of the teamwill return in 2015, but that triowill be tough to replace – espe-cially Kuntz.

“Zane actually stabilized ourteamoncewehadour issuewithour goalkeeper,” Ripbergersaid. “We lost a bad game thatwe should have never lost. Wemoved him back into the de-fense and he jus stabilized thewhole thing.

“Dean has been a varsityplayer since his sophomoreyear, so the year before I came.Ofcoursehedidn’tplaymuchasa sophomore – maybe like 15minutes and he was a goalkeep-er.His junioryearhestartedev-ery game and he started everygame this year for us. He was

our captain and our go-to guythrough almost everything.”

Madeira will return mid-fielder Graham Long for hissenior season next year. Longaccounted for 19 points with sixgoals and sevenassists, andwasan All-CHL first-team perform-er in 2014, according to Rip-berger.

The Mustangs will also re-turn sophomore forward Dun-canMaier, sophomoremidfield-er Chris Landgrebe and sopho-more defenderEricCummings.All three have been startingsince their freshman season.

Maier scored seven goalsandLandgrebe added five goalsand two assists in 2014.

“They’re very good players,so we have all three of them,”Ripberger said. “Plus I get oneCHL first-team player back inGraham Long.”

Both goalkeepers will alsoreturn inMcCouloughandsoph-omore Tony Pape.

“We have a very youngteam,” Ripberger said. “We’vehad a very young team last yearand this year. Just getting themall on the same page finally andthem all playing together theway we’ve wanted them to playsince we took over the programhas really started to take hold.We’ve been possessing the balland playing great soccer sincethat time. Oncewe got our goal-keeper back, things stabilizedand we all started playing theright way together. It was greatfrom then on.”

So what’s next for the Mus-tangs?

“Just keep getting more ex-perience,” Ripberger said. “Wejust have a bunch of kids in theprogramcomingup through thepipeline playing a high level ofsoccer. With a young team, it’sjust understanding how to playat a high level all the time.”

and 5-2 in the CincinnatiHills League to tie Madei-ra for second behind un-defeated Wyoming. Meesended the season needingjust one more win for 300on his career.

The celebration willnow have to wait at leastuntil next August. Morethan likely, the victorywon’t come against a pro-verbial cupcake.

Mees prefers to tough-enhis squadupduring theseason with competitive

non-conference games.If he scheduled softer

games, he may have beenblowing out the candles ofhis “300” cake this fall.

“We played some real-ly tough teams around thestate,” Mees said. “Weplayed Carroll to a tie, weplayed Alter and lost on apenalty kick, we tied Tip-pecanoe and we playedfive Division I teams. Ilove playing that level ofcompetition. That’s ourphilosophy.”

Approaching his 27thyear in high school coach-ing, Mees still enjoys theebb and flow.

He didn’t sleep much

after theMcNick loss andwas already thinkingabout next year’s start inthe dog days of summerless than 24 hours afterbeing eliminated.

“You’re always think-ing about the future,” hesaid. “It’s kind of an ongo-ing process. Guys comeand contribute to the pro-gram and then graduateand move on. You cheerfor them. You also moveon to thenext year and thecrop of talent coming in.You do it for this long andyou see it more as a con-tinuumof a programrath-er than one and done.”

SHORT HOPS

By Scott Springer andAdam [email protected]@communitypress.com

Things are just goingright for the Madeiragirls’ soccer team thesedays.

The Amazons (10-5-4)havewon five straight—each one a shut out.They’ve scored 20 goalsin their last four gamesandadvanced to theDivi-sion III regional tourna-ment with a 4-0 win overTroy Christian Oct. 25 ina district final at Leba-non.

“Now that we’re here(in thepostseason),we’replaying the best we haveall season,” senior de-fender Emily Heissersaid. “Everything iscom-ing together.”

Madeira played Cin-cinnati Country DayTuesday (after deadline)at 7 p.m. at Mariemont.The regional final will beSaturday at a site to bedetermined against thewinner of Tuesday’sgame between SummitCountry Day and SidneyLehman Catholic.

“We really came to-gether,” senior defenderEmilyHeisser said of thewin over Troy Christian.“Everything we’ve beenworking on this wholeseason just came togeth-er.Wesupporteachotheron and off the field. Wedid everything thatwe’vebeen coached to dothe whole season. Wecompeted our hardestthat we have all year andit was our best game.”

Senior Shannon Wil-

liamson scored threegoals in that game andshe leads the Amazonswith 21goals this season.

“Our girls were reallyfocused for the game,”Madeira coach Dan Bra-dy said. “I think havinglost in overtime last yeartoBadin in the district fi-nal, we just came with afocus and when westepped on the field, wetook full advantage ofouropportunities.Wegotout to an early start andour confidence kind ofgrew. We probablyplayed our best gamethatwe’ve played all sea-son, in my opinion.”

It was the latest in astring of best games ofthe season, dating to a1-1stalemate at Indian HillOct. 8. The Amazons fol-lowed that with a 1-0 win

over CHCA and a 6-0 winover Deer Park to closethe regular season Oct.15. Three days later, Ma-deira opened the post-season with a 4-0 winoverDeer Park and rout-edBethel-Tate 6-0Oct. 21tosetupthedistrict final.

“We’re playing reallywell,”Brady said. “We’rescoring four, five, sixgoals per game. I thinkwhat kind of lit the firewasthetieagainst IndianHill.Wescored in the lastseconds of the game andever since then, we’vereally been playingwell.”

Next up is CincinnatiCountry Day and the In-diansarenot likely to rollover. Madeira and CCDplayed to a 0-0 final Sept6 at Madeira.

“CCD was one of thehardest games we’veplayed all year,” Heissersaid. “I think we’re veryevenly matched compet-itors. Their team is verysimilar to ours. It’s goingto be a battle. They havea really explosive of-fense and a strong de-fense, just like us.”

CCD has won sevenstraight and owns a 14-3-2 record.

“I think this is one oftheir best teams in thelast five years,” Bradysaid of CCD. “It’s alwaysa good rivalrywith them.Theresa (Hirschauer) isa great coach and theirteam seems to be veryyoung and hungry and Iexpect it to be an out-standing game.”

Houses add toMadeiracharacter

I wish to rebut Nancy Spen-cer’s comments in the Oct. 22Suburban Life about the Ma-deira charter amendment cost-ing city money over time.

What is going to cost thecity money over time is if youeliminate the historicalhouses?

Residents bought into Ma-deira’s ambiance and charac-ter....do we want to lose that?TheWoman’s Club has alwaysprovided economic develop-ment to the residents, alwaysgiven 100 percent back to thecommunity via clock tower,benches, scholarship which

made vital offers to the com-munity and brought folks intothe area for other businessesas well.

Of all things, they havepreserved the character andrecognized the historical valueof Cleo Hosbrook’s donation.

I say vote yes to the amend-ment, don’t let a few councilmembers take away our heri-tage. TomMoeller stated thatthe funds to repair and main-tain the house was used forother expenses.

As a taxpayer that in itselfshould concern everyone.

I urge Madeira residents tovote for the charter amend-ment as a way of inputtingtheir desires to preserve our

quaint Madeira character.Sami Smith

Restore funding cutsto PWC

People Working Coopera-tively plays a crucial role inthe City of Cincinnati provid-ing critical home repairs andservices so that low income,elderly, disabled homeownersand veterans can remain intheir homes living indepen-dently in a safe and healthyenvironment.

Our mission to help as manypeople in our community as wecan is now at serious risk. TheCity of Cincinnati, who we

consider a supportive partner,has recommended a reductionon PWC’s budget. Recent ac-tion by City Council and theMayor has restored some ofthe recommended reduction.For this we are appreciative.

However, PWC is so effec-tive in maximizing every dol-lar, I believe the funding needsto be restored in full. The or-ganization is ranked in thehighest category by the Com-munity Development AdvisoryBoard and is a model for or-ganizations around the coun-try.

For every dollar the Cityallocates to PWC, PWC turns itinto $3 by creatively securingmatching gifts and grants. In

turn, the loss of every dollar isactually a loss of $3 to the PWCbudget. Continuing full fi-nancial support of PWC is sucha wise investment by Cincin-nati in Cincinnati and a wiseuse of the taxpayer dollars.

I am asking our city leadersto reconsider cuts to PWC andto restore all funding to thiseffective and efficient organi-zation. The city’s return oninvestment with PWC is sig-nificant but the impact ofPWC’s work in our Cincinnatineighborhoods and families isfar greater.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Oct. 22 questionTwo women were killed when hit by

a vehicle while walking along Old Col-erain Avenue and East Miami River Roadearlier this month. What precautions doyou take when walking?

“Walk/run facing traffic – and stepaside when you see traffic coming.Wear bright colored clothing (evenreflective clothing) to assure you areeasily seen by oncoming vehicles.”

C.G.

“When walking along any roadwayI always, always, always walk on theleft side against traffic. At least thatwill give me a fighting chance to seeif someone in a car is drifting onto theshoulder and right toward me. If aperson is walking on the right side ofthe road, the only warning they haveof imminent death or maiming is thefateful and oh-so-painful feel of metalon skin and bones. When walking in ornear an active roadway I assume thatI am invisible to the car and take thepersonal responsibility to get out oftheir way. If it is dark or dusk I wearreflective clothing or a vest. I alsokeep in the forefront of my brain thesimple fact that in a car vs. pedestri-an contest, the car (or truck) willalways win.”

M.J.F.

“I really like to walk and considerit a perfect non-damaging, low cost,exercise. After leaving a job thatprovided me with the opportunity tofrequently take very long walks innew places, I tried several ways touse our public roadways and side-walks to see Anderson from a newperspective. Now, I have a volunteerposition that can keep me on my feetfor hours, and, so far, help me keepthose ‘unemployment inches’ fromrequiring a new wardrobe.

“I don’t know what time of day thistook place, but obviously, if it was at

night, we have all seen pedestrianswho seem clueless when it comes towearing highly visible clothing orreflective belts if walking at night.Walking on the side of the road, fac-ing traffic, in most cases allows thewalker to determine an oncomingthreat. I haven’t mastered selectingroutes at all times without sharpbends in the road, but am extra cau-tious if there is not enough side areato allow me to move out of the way, onthe side upon which I am walking. InAnderson Township, many of oursubdivision streets have sidewalks,for which we homeowners pay extrataxes. I have a question for all thosewho seem to feel that walking in thestreet, even when there are side-walks, is somehow a pedestrian pre-rogative. Why?

“By the way, as winter approaches,walking before sidewalks are cleaned,or using the plowed streets becausesomeone hasn’t cleaned their side-walk, is a really good way to put adriver in an awkward and undesiredposition in already hazardous drivingconditions.”

Don Brown“I walk a lot but I always walk in

daylight facing oncoming traffic. Imove off the road when a car ap-proaches. I prefer to walk on sidestreets where there are sidewalks.Walking at dusk or later scares me.There seems to be more cars (rushhour) and faster drivers at that timeof day. Go Figure!!!”

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’S QUESTIONDid you or will you vote early this year, orwill you wait until Election Day? Why?

Every week we ask readers a question they canreply to via email. Send your answers tormaloney@community press.com with Ch@troomin the subject line.

while still grieving fortheir loss.

What all these peo-ple told me was furtherproof of what I alreadyknow as an attorney –that the Probate Courtis truly a cradle tograve court wherepeople come for help.Unlike other courtswhere people are

brought to answer criminal charges orwhere civil disputes over money areresolved, the Probate Court is wherepeople come for help on the most per-sonal and sensitive of matters.

I believe the Probate Judge can andshould advocate for families in time ofcrisis. And to help citizens, I have pro-posed a Probate Academy to be held atsenior citizen centers and other loca-tions throughout the county wherepeople can come to learn about wills,the steps of estate administration, theadoption process, and other importantaspects of the court.

One thing this campaign has madeclear is that the most important role ofthe Probate Court Judge is to helpothers.

I’m asking for your support becausetogether we can make the ProbateCourt even more helpful to our fam-ilies, and to thousands of our fellowcitizens. That’s why I ask for your voteon Tuesday.

Charlie Luken is running for a seat on theHamilton County Probate Court.

In last week’s paper, my opponentTedWinkler belittled my life’s work,so, let me set the record straight.

As mayor, I focused on helpingneighborhoods solve problems andimproving our quality of life.

As Congressman, I focused on con-stituent work, helping to find solutionsfor citizens who were frustrated intheir dealings with the federal govern-ment.

As an attorney I represented clientsat every level of the judiciary, arrivingat outcomes that satisfied my clientsand our community. My experience inpublic service has indeed been di-verse, and it’s exactly the kind of expe-rience that the Probate Court needs.

As I shook hands with voters acrossthe county at church festivals, pa-rades, and flea markets people sharedwith me their experiences at criticaljunctures in their lives, confirming mybelief that the Probate Court is a placewhere I can make a difference.

I heard people open up about howthey feel helpless to stop the down-ward spiral of an adult child or brotheror sister suffering with mental illnessor substance abuse, fearing that thetroubled family member would spenda lifetime in and out of trouble with thelaw, homeless on the streets, or worse.

Young couples told me about theirprotracted struggles to adopt a child,at times finding it difficult not to bediscouraged by bureaucratic red tape,wondering how a child they want tolove as their own is still not theirs.People told me how confusing it is toprobate a deceased parent’s estate

Diverse experiencemakes for goodcourt candidate

Charlie LukenCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Suddenly, it’s 1950 all overagain.

I remember those days verywell. Dad allowedme to drivehis new doctor’s gray 1950Buick Roadmaster and drive-inmovies were all the rage. Wedidn’t give a rat’s patoot aboutnuclear war, as we circledFrisch’s drive-in.

We didn’t practice “duckand cover,” we were bettereducated than that. We knewthat nothing would protect usfrom an aerial nuclear bom-bardment, except a deep un-derground bomb shelter. Wesimply went about our busi-ness, knowing that Harry, andlater Ike, would bomb the liv-ing snot out of the Russians,should they make a move to

bomb us; Oba-ma will doexactly thesame.

Pay noattention tothe protesta-tions of the farright wing-nuts. FYI wewill soon havehypersonic

weapons that can destroynukes in flight, anywhere inthe world.

Why is this happening? Chi-na does not want our militaryin their sphere of political in-fluence. We are there daily,showing our air and sea poweralong the borders of Chineseairspace. They view this as an

intrusion and a threat, just assome of us view their lowprices on goods, and theft oftechnology, as an intrusion ofour manufacturing economy.

How do we handle China?The Chinese philosophy is likethat in “The Art of War.” Thegreatest victory comes fromachieving your goals withoutever having to go to war. TheChinese believe in trade as theultimate weapon; they are quiteaccomplished negotiators. Wemust begin to slowly withdrawfrom China as a source for ourmanufactured goods. We canuse this Chinese philosophy onother emerging countries togarner political support.

What is Russia’s problem?Putin fancies himself a Russian

Czar, not unlike Peter theGreat. Certainly, he would liketo bring back the monarchy,with the title of “Emperor ofAll Russia.” Youmight as welldream big. What are thoselyrics in the song from SouthPacific, “If you don’t have adream, how you gonna have adream come true.” The resultmay be that he sacrifices mostof his people to accomplishthis.

Kiev was the ancient firstcapital of Russia. Kiev is also acontemporary center for learn-ing and a center for advancedscience and engineering. Thiscannot be understated. Putinneeds Kiev and the Ukraine tobe a part of his new empire, forboth historic and practical

reasons. He is willing to riskwar with theWest to achievethis goal. He knows war isquite unlikely.

What should we be doing toprepare for these changes andbetter protect the UnitedStates?

1. Wemust immediately getour finances in order. You can-not defend your country if it isweak, or perceived to be weak.

2. Wemust publicly affirmthe doctrine of mutually as-sured destruction.

3. Wemust fully develop thehypersonic weapon that canshoot down any incomingmis-sile.

PUMPKIN PATCHES

I had nuts left overfrommaking caramelapples so I decided tomake some peanut brit-tle. Peanut brittle can bea tricky candy to make,

and someof my reci-pes call fora candythermom-eter alongwith theaddition ofbakingsoda, nei-ther ofwhich thisreciperequires. I

will tell you that thispeanut brittle doesn’thave the “snap” andsomewhat airy texture oftraditional brittle. Re-gardless, it’s sooo good.

I’m thinking I shouldhave waited until theholidays to share since itmakes a fabulous giftfrom the kitchen. Butyou knowme, if I makesomething that is awe-somely good, I can hard-ly wait to share. Makethis now and save therecipe to make duringthe holidays. Betcha can’teat just one piece!

Simple peanutbrittle

Chock full of nuts. Ifyou want more of brittle,use less nuts. AdaptedfromMelanie Barnard’srecipe. As Melanie toldme “follow directionsand it works every time.”If all you have in the frigis salted butter, that’s OKto use.

1/2 stick unsaltedbutter

1/2 cup sugar2 tablespoons corn

syrup - I’ve used bothlight and dark and pre-fer dark

1 teaspoon vanilla2 cups saltedmixed

nuts or peanutsLine cookie sheet with

foil and spray it. Stirbutter, sugar and cornsyrup in pan over medi-um heat until sugar meltsand mixture bubbles andbecomes smooth. Coverand cook for a minute.Stir in vanilla and nutsand cook, stirring con-stantly, until nuts arefragrant and golden

brown, about 5 minutes.Don’t overcook. Pouronto foil, spreading thin.Cool and break apart.Store, tightly covered, atroom temperature up to aweek.

Baked potatoeswith cheese saucelike Wendy’s

For the reader whowants to avoid buyingthese throughWendy’sdrive thru. Homemade isalways better! Here’s acheese sauce that’s soversatile. It’s good onbroccoli and other veg-gies, too. Sometimes I’llwhisk in a squirt of Dijonor dry mustard with themilk mixture. Sharp ormild cheddar work equal-ly well.

And here’s a question Iget asked a lot: can youuse any kind of potatoesfor baking? Well, yes, butthe true baking potatoes,like Idaho, have morestarch in them and bakeup drier and fluffy. Andthey’re really the best, Ithink, for mashed pota-toes. Others, like red, willbake up more “waxy”and firm. My take on it?The bakers are best, butif all you have are red orother kinds, go for it.

4 nice sized bakedpotatoes

2 Tablespoons butter2 Tablespoons flourSalt & pepper1 cupmilk1-1/2 cups shredded

cheddarMelt butter in pan

over medium heat. Addflour and whisk for oneminute. Slowly whisk inmilk and whisk untilthickened, about 5 min-utes. Remove from heatand stir in cheese untilsmooth. Add salt andpepper to taste.

Make a lengthwisesplit in potatoes. Smooshup at both ends to openand fluff up. Pour cheesesauce over.

Tip from Rita’skitchen: Broccoliand cheese stuffedpotatoes

Steam some broccoliflorets and add beforepouring on cheese.

Readers want toknow: are beetsgood for you?

You bet they are.Boost your brainpowerwith beets. As we age,

poor blood flow contrib-utes to cognitive decline.Research shows thatbeets can help increaseblood flow to the brain,which helps improvemental alertness and

performance and mayhelp prevent Alzheim-er’s.

Eat them roasted withred onions, olive oil, rose-mary and thyme, thendrizzled with Balsamic

vinegar for a true feast.

When buying a newcar is it a good idea toimmediately buy an ex-tended service warranty?Many people do that, butif you do, you have to bevery careful about justwhat you are buying.

When John Scudder, ofHillsboro, bought a newcar a few years ago hesaid he didn’t think twicewhen asked about buyingan extended service war-ranty. “She asked, ‘Doyou want a 60,000-milewarranty?’ I said, ‘OK,sure,’” Scudder said.

It was only later thathe asked about the par-ticular warranty hebought and found it wasfrom an independentcompany, not from thevehicle manufacturer.Scudder said he ran intoproblems when he tookhis car into another deal-er and showed his war-ranty.

“He said, “We don’taccept it.’ I went to mymechanic and he doesn’taccept it. Then he went to

anothermechanic –but no oneacceptedit,” Scud-der said.

Thedealer whosold himthe policysaid therewas noproblem,

that he should bring thecar back to them.

“He said, ‘If youbrought the car backhere we would have ac-cepted it.’ But, what ifI’m in Florida? Mydaughter is a doctordown there. I would haveto tow it back 2,000 milesand it just doesn’t makesense,” Scudder said.

Scudder paid $2,200for the warranty and saidhe now realizes he shouldhave bought the manu-facturer’s extended ser-vice warranty instead.

“If it was a Hondawarranty they wouldcover it. I didn’t need to

use it because myHondaran great. But they saidbecause it’s not a Hondawarranty they won’t eventalk with you.” Scuddersaid.

Consumer Reports hasfound most readers spentmore on their warrantythan they saved in re-pairs. But if you stillwant to buy a warrantyyou don’t have to do soimmediately. You canwait until just before theoriginal warranty ex-pires to buy the extendedwarranty.

If you wait you’ll knowwhether you really wantto keep the car. But beadvised, you will prob-ably have to pay more forthe extended warranty atthat point.

When homeownersfeel they may have foun-dation cracks or base-ment seepage, howmuchshould they expect topay? Can the cost ever be$0? Homeowners thatpay for any repair that isthe wrong repair havejust paid too much.

A highly rated con-tractor on Angies Listquoted a 75-year-oldwidow about $30,000because she had a minorreccurring crack in thehallway in the center ofthe house. The samecontractor quoted$20,000 to a Cincinnatipolice officer for a minorcrack in their foundation.

When I said no to anytype of foundation repair,the widow asked to giveme a hug.

The police officer’shouse did have someother minor deficienciesthat could be repaired.The cost for the founda-tion settlement repairwas less than $1,000. Theexpectation was that Iwould suggest the$20,000 repair. I justsmiled and was happy Ihelped them save money.

Yesterday, I saw aclient that had severalcracks in the concretebeams above the garagedoors. He had contacteda contractor first. Theysent out their best per-son, who proceeded tosuggest soil pressure onthe opposite end of thehouse was causing thecracks and gave propos-als of $6,000 and $8,000.The true cause was therusting of steel reinforc-ing rods inside the wall.The suggested repair forthese cracks will prob-ably be less than $2,000. Iwas satisfied that usingmy knowledge of struc-tures saved this home-owner a large amount ofmoney.

The free estimatesfrom contractors can beextremely expensive andit is very common thatthe salesmen from con-tractors not understand-ing the causes of thefoundation issues ortransfer of stresses andforces. Even if the con-tractors suggested repairmay seem appropriate, itis very common that thesalesman to not under-stand the repair mayonly be a partial repairinstead of a full solutionto the problem.

Aboutfouryearsago, ourclienthad con-tractedwith awellknownwater-proofingcompany

to repair the rear wall oftheir home. They in-stalled steel beams, butthe wall kept moving sothey installed morebeams. This was an in-complete repair. Finally,the deck and brick fell ofthe back of the house.They offered a minimalreimbursement to havethe client go away andwould not give her theirinsurance informationfor her to file a claim.

In previous articles Ihave written and pub-lished in the communitynewspapers and on An-gies List, I have beenaddressing differenttypes of foundationmovement and basementleaks. By providing thisdata, I have been tryingto help protect the home-owner from spendingmoney needlessly with acontractor. Angies Listmembers should read allof the reviews for con-tractors. Angies Listgives a higher signif-icance to reviews frommembers that have actu-ally hired the company,which skews the reviews.If you read all of thereviews, including onesfrommembers that haveonly received an esti-mate, a better under-standing of the companymay be received.

To answer my firstquestions, sometimes thefoundation repair costsmay be $0 and anyamount over that shouldbe spent in confidence ofhaving the right solution.Any money spent on theimproper repair is toomuch. The engineer isyour first step to find ifany repair is suggestedand what may be themost economical andeffective repair.

Northern HillsSynagogueIn keeping with the spooky spiritof the season, Northern HillsSynagogue will show the classicYiddish horror movie “TheDybbuk.” The screening willtake place at 6:30 p.m. Wednes-day, Oct. 29, as part of North-ern Hills’ pizza/movie nightseries.In the film, boundaries separat-ing the natural from the su-pernatural dissolve as ill-fatedpledges, unfulfilled passions,and untimely deaths ensnaretwo families in a tragic laby-rinth of spiritual possession.Based on the play by S. An-ski,the film was shot on location inPoland in 1937, and evokes thecultural richness of both shtetlcommunities and Polish Jewryon the eve of World War II.As Rabbi David Siff explained,“The Dybbuk is about a youngwoman possessed by a wander-ing spirit in need of an exor-cism. Filmed almost 40 yearsbefore The Exorcist with noneof the technology, it’s far morespooky. Come and enjoy.”The synagogue is at 5714 FieldsErtel Road, Deerfield Township;931-6038.
