The city would fund the remaining $300,000, Tetleysaid during City Council’s Jan. 21meeting.

“It’s an opportunity to extend the trail at a price thatwillbemuch lessexpensive than ifwebuilt it outright,”Tetley said to members of City Council.

The trail extension will connect with the West ForkMill Creek Greenway trail at Wyoming’s northern

boundary, and will provide a route fromNorth Park toOak Park.

“It will be a significant safety improvement,”Greenways Committee Chairman Charles Skidmoresaid. “Someof the access right now is by street,withnosidewalk, so this will be a significant safety improve-ment.”

The hike/bike trail was included in the 1997 MasterPlan, and again in the 2007 Master Plan.

Jim Questa is a delightful,talented guy whomakes thebrief jaunt from his Finneytownhome toWyoming to assist cus-tomers in his job as serviceadvisor at Santos Auto Service.

Providing transportation is acustomary practice at Santos

Auto, and Jimdoes it with afriendly flairthat takes theedge off yourconcern aboutyour vehicle.

Questa is theItalian name ofJim’s paternalgrandparents.His momwasfrom St. Ber-nard, where hewas born and

his dad was fromKentucky.When Jimwas a kindergartenerhis parents were surprised tolearn their only child was amusical prodigy. Neighbors hada piano, and one day they calledhis parents to say that he wasplaying it.

Encouraging his musicaltalents, the Questas bought himaMagnus Chord Organ. Helearned 10 songs in five days.When they shopped for a piano,he hopped on a bench and beganplaying an organ, so theybought a small one with a 30-song music book that he mas-tered in about a month.

Jim played the drums inRoger Bacon High School and

was part of any production thatrequired a band. He studiedbroadcasting at Southern OhioCollege. Today, he plays key-boards and some guitar in theDV8 Band at places like Pirate’sDen and other select clubsaround Greater Cincinnati. Theband performs at a host of out-door shows such as Goettafest,Taste of Cincinnati, Party in thePark, major Catholic festivalsand has opened for seven oreight national acts. Jim alsoplayed around Cincinnati withthe Bad Habit Band for 19years.

Jim is a very athletic lookingfellow, but music kept him toobusy for sports, although heenjoyed watching ice hockey.Then, at the ripe old age of 36,he took up the sport. When afriend mentioned that he was

going to play, Jim found the ideaintriguing and took classes withlocal hockey celebrity DonBiggs of the American, Nationaland International hockeyleagues. Now he loves playingas well as watching.

Jim first came to work atSantos Auto in 1985 and left in1990 to play music professional-ly with Cincinnati music celeb-rity, DannyMorgan, playinghere summers, and winters inFlorida’s Sanibel and CaptivaIslands. Family obligations withhis mother brought him off theroad and back to Cincinnati.

Jim worked 19 years in cor-porate America as a supplychain manager until the econo-my tanked. He was out of a jobfor the first time in his life. Hehad always remained friendswith Tony Santos, owner of

Santos Auto, who asked him ifhe wanted to return. Jim waspleased to do so and will sooncelebrate his third year back.

Blessed with three step-children and wife, Jennifer, whoworks for a software developerand loves to ride horses, Jimhas a happy outlook on life:

“Everyone has a differentvision of their dream life, andwhile I didn’t plan mine, I cer-tainly found it with my familyand job. Santos is a great placeto work and I have musical funon weekends. I’m fortunate tobe able to do all I want to do.”

Instead of studying atheory first, then puttingit into practice, a group ofstudents at PrincetonHigh School have learnedin reverse, real-life style.

The project, which sat-isfies state curriculumstandards, was fashionedafter a previous job expe-rience by teacher BrianLien.

“When I worked in theengineering field, I had todoreverseengineeringonprojects all the time,”Lien said of the project

that required 20 studentsin two sessions of his En-gineering Your Futureclass to evaluate a prod-uct, figure out how to con-struct it, build it and es-tablish pricing for a virtu-al client.

“It’s a real-world pro-ject that they all have tounderstand if they wentinto engineering,” he said.“They’d be doing this inthe field.”

Students, working inteams, received a tooltray, to begin the project.

They measured it andconverted thosemeasure-ments into a CAD (com-

puter aided drawing),printing the drawings infull scale beforemaking aprototype of the tray.

They used orthograph-ic, or right-angle projec-tions of the top, front andright side of the tray, ap-plying those projectionsto the CAD.

The assignment alsofollowed STEM princi-ples:

Science of the sheetmetal, which stretches asit bends.

“It’s not a clean bend,like with paper,” Liensaid. “In industry, youhave to understand this,and now they have thatawareness.”

Technology of theCADsystem to create the prod-uct drawings.

Engineering of the tooltray.

Math to measure thedimensions, as well as todetermine pricing for thevirtual client, who wouldorder the product in areal-life business.

“We’re putting theireducation to work,” Liensaid.

JeremyAbbot,a junior,felt accomplishment be-cause he was able to fol-low the project from the-ory to production.

“We get to followthrough with it, and itmakes us more precise inour drawings,” Abbotsaid. “We find out what’swrong with them, and wecan fix it.

“Then, we get to makethe finished product. Weget to o from start to fin-ish.”

Lien said studentsusedtheircalculationsandpro-totype to manufacture atool box, which they com-pared with the sample.

“Does it look like themodel they were given,”he said. “If their sketcheswere correct and draw-ings exact, it should lookjust like the actual alumi-num tool tray.

“They would take thatprototype to theclient andsee if that’s what theywant.”

Lienwas theclient, andthe currencywas a grade.

In the manufacturingstage, studentswere chal-lenged to layout thedraw-ing in the most economi-cal way, with the leastamount ofwaste, andwiththe ability to use anywaste inaproductiveway,as good material to beused in another way.

Ben Faught, a junior,liked the interactiveteamwork.

“It feels like you’reworking in the realworld,” he said. “Figuringthe dimensions was thehardest part because wedidn’t hae precise num-bers and the toolboxeswere different sizes. Wehad to go back and mea-sure it again.”

Just like in the realworld.

Mount Notre Damestudents were given aunique opportunity toperform surgical tech-niques on cadaver legsthrough the assistance ofBeacon Orthopaedics.

More than 100 stu-dents enrolled in anato-my and physiology andAP biology classes at-tended a presentation byBeacon physicians. Thelecture focused on thestructures of the kneejoint, common knee inju-ries, and surgeries andtechniques used to helpthose with knee issues.The following week, 12 ofthose students visited theBeacon Orthopaedic Re-search and EducationFoundation LearningCenter and Lab to com-plete a cadaver dissec-tion of the knee.

Those selected toscrub in were seniors:Kristi Duncan (Milford),

Cara Schuppe (Lakota),Jordan Lamb (Cincin-nati), Emily Borgemenke(Mason), Amy Dean (La-kota), Sara Voss (Mil-ford), Ashley Reinert(Princeton), and juniors:Kelly Higgins (Syca-more), Anna Lucas (Mil-ford), Maggie Lair (Lako-

ta), Ali Staun (Madeira)and Meredith Shaffer(Little Miami).

MNDoffers five class-es of anatomy&physiolo-gy, an elective coursetaught by Jennifer Glass.Glass is the key contactfor MND in building aneducational partnership

with Beacon. In order tobring this experience tothe students at MND,Glass attended a summertraining session. As partof the experience, fellowMND science teacher,Sister Ruth Bedinghauswas able to join the stu-dents in the learning ac-

SHARONVILLE — Losingequals winning. At least in onesense.

Princeton High School seniorCarlie Pogue struggled with fit-ness her first two years of highschool basketball, so she set outto get in better shape. She lost 30poundswithoutbenefitofa train-er simply by running andwatch-ing what she ate.

Suddenly the 6-foot forwardbecame an NCAADivision I col-lege prospect. She plans to take

an official visit to the UniversityofNewHampshireinthenearfu-ture. Schools like Evansville,Austin Peay and others have ex-pressed interest as well.

While she’s not yet sure whatshe plans to study in college -health care of somekind is a pos-sibility - it seems a scholarshiplies ahead.

“Justhowfarshe’scomesinceher freshman year is amazing,”PrincetonheadcoachJillPhillipssaid. “She’s been our most im-proved player every year.

“She’s beena lotmore aggres-sive this year. Her face-up gamehas really improved. She’s verycomfortable with the 15-, 18-footjump shot now. She’s expandedher game.”

WYOMING — Should theWyoming High School boysbasketball team pull off theirfirstCincinnatiHillsLeague ti-tle since 2007, they will havesurvived a difficult road swinginvolving Taylor, Indian Hilland Mariemont back-to-back-to-back.

That was the schedule atpresstime for coach MattRooks and the Cowboys, whomatched last season’s win totalby late January.

“Obviously, every gamematters here,” Rooks said.

The Cowboys were in thedriver’s seat until Madeiracame toWyoming andknockedthem off 57-40 on Jan. 21. Cou-pled with an Indian Hill winoverMariemont that night, theCHL went into a three-way tie.

“I don’t think our guys wereready,” Rooks said. “I think itwas the worst game we playedas far as our effort. Our de-fense was terrible. Our guysdidn’t do what we had been do-ing, which was guarding andflying around and rebound-ing.”

Just 10 days earlier, Wyo-ming had dismantled Madeiraon the Mustangs’ home floor,56-32. When clicking, the Cow-boys feature the league’s topscorer in senior Ahmad Frostand a variety of role playersled by senior Marc Akinbi andsophomoreMason Rogers.

Evenwhen they don’t score,

Wyoming makes it tough fortheir opposition to light the to-teboard. Few teams havescored more than 50 pointsagainst them and no one hadreached 60 as of this writing.

“If we don’t play hard everyday, we’re not that good,”Rooks said. “Our defense hasbeen carrying us. We need tokeepguardingandfightingandbeing true to who we are. Ourwhole thing has been one gameat a time now.”

Of late, senior Frost hasbeen attracting considerableattention by averaging morethan 21 points per game. Thefour-year player is close toreaching1,000points forhisca-reer.

As a result, teamsare tryingto “freeze” Frost with double-teams and various “junk” de-fenses. Fortunately, the 6-footguard has been able to adapthis game.

“He’s getting other guys in-volved,” Rooks said. “Whenhe’s getting guarded he needsto get going on guarding andrebounding, getting somesteals and getting to the free-throw line.”

In recent games, Akinbi hasled the team in scoring, as hasanother slim forward in seniorNolan Prevish.

“He’s a soccer kid that’s 6-4,lanky and he can shoot it,”Rooks said. “When he comes toplay hard, he can score a littlebit. Other guys are stepping up

If summoned for juryduty, you are assigned eitherto a regular jury or a grandjury.

On regular (also called“petit”) jury duty you couldbe selected for a criminal orcivil case. In a grand jury,however, a group of citizenshears only criminal casesand decides if someone willhave to face trial for a felo-ny offense. A felony is acrime that is punishable byat least one year in prison.

In Hamilton County, thegrand jury meets in theprosecutor’s office. Thegrand jury listens to testi-mony and examines evi-dence presented only by the

prosecutionbefore decid-ing whetherto return anindictment.An indict-ment is mere-ly a formalcharge; it stillmust beproven be-yond a rea-sonable doubtat trial before

a defendant can be convict-ed.

When the prosecutorpresents a case, only thetestifying witness and thegrand jurors are in theroom. After the last witness

testifies, the prosecutor andwitness exit the room so thejurors can deliberate andvote. Defendants may re-quest to testify, but rarelydo so.

Nine grand jurors vote oneach case and each charge.Before voting to indict, thegrand jurors must find prob-able cause that: 1, a crimewas committed, and 2, thatthe accused committed thecrime. At least seven of thenine grand jurors mustagree that there is sufficientevidence to return an in-dictment.

A unique and importantaspect of grand jury serviceis the oath of secrecy. The

oath of secrecy covers theentire grand jury proceed-ing and is permanent.

Both grand jury and reg-ular jury service last for twoweeks in Hamilton County.If selected for grand jury,you will hear approximately50 cases each week. In com-parison, most regular jurorssit on only one or two casesat most. Perhaps its uniqueprocess makes most peoplewho have served on bothregular and grand juriesprefer grand jury service.

Jan. 29 questionPresident Obama has said ad-

dressing income inequality will bethe focal point of his agenda for therest of his term.What canbedone toaddress income inequality?

“I have concerns about Obamatrying tosolveany income inequal-ities. His approach so far seems tobemoregovernment entitlements.He has never had a real privatesector job, nor has he run a compa-ny.Unless he is creatingmore jobsthan I worry about his methods orsuccess.

“His RobinHoodmethods (takefrom the rich and give to the poor)have not worked. Bringing backjobs from over seas might be agood place to start along with im-migration reform. That is 10-20million job opportunities to start.

“Per Steve Chabot, ‘since LBJ’swar on poverty started in 1964, 50years ago the government hasspent $20.7 trillion dollars on pov-erty in the U.S .’

“My guess is a large amount ofthat money was spent for govern-ment bureaucracy and more gov-ernment employees. Obama maysoon replace Jimmy Carter as thepresident with the lowest publicapproval rating. Go figure!”

T.D.T.

“PresidentObamaandhis liber-al base bemoan the ‘income in-equality’ in this country, but theirhands are tied to one large groupthatwillkeepthat fromhappening.Unions.

“Specifically the teachersunions across this country. Educa-tion is paramount to closing the in-come gap in this country. Moreeducated a student becomes, themore income that student willachieve. School vouchers arefought by the unions all over thiscountry because they are a threatto the status quo.

“Break the cycle of inefficient/ineffective schools, remove layersupon layersofoverpaiddo-nothingadministrators and maybe theirshope. But that would take change.Hmmmm, hope and change?”

Many people are calling fora government-run single payertype of health insurance. Howmany of those people wouldcall for it if it were run by abusiness?

We should take some timeto look at reality. The plaintruth is that either would bebad. Let’s look at the facts. Iam not a fan of anything runby the government due to thenormal inefficiencies of lim-ited financial and ethical con-trols. Reality tells us that gov-ernment controlmeanspayoffs to political donors. Italsomeans little financialcontrol due to the false prem-ise that anything the govern-ment runs is done for the bene-fit of all citizens. It reallymeans that it is done to createvoting blocs to permanentlysecure positions for politicians.

Enough of the failures ofgovernment. Let’s look at theproblems of a corporatemo-

nopoly in thesame position.And, let usassume thatthe corporateentity is total-ly honest, atleast to beginwith. Howlongwill thathonesty standthe pressures

of the incentives of profits,payments to providers, legalclaims, threats from compro-mised elected persons to cre-ate competition, pleas for vitaland/or questionable researchand demands from suppliersfor preferences or higherprices? That solution is alsonot in our interest.

The obvious answer is tocreate a competitive system. Iam in the situationwhere Ihave changed an insuranceprovider. This is because oneofmy preferred doctors will

not be covered inmy formerplan.My new provider hasoffered everything I want in aplan that fitsmy needs andmybudget. It is with a companythatmany ofmy friends haveand are very pleasedwith. Ican be reasonably sure thattheywill want to keepme as acustomer.

As a former businessman, Iamwell aware that competi-tion creates efficiencies andcustomer satisfaction. There isno question that a competitivesystem generates choices andcontrol of costs that are notfound in either a governmentor privatemonopoly.

Whenwe apply for a lifeinsurance policy, our accep-tance and rates are based onour age and condition. Theseare factors that should alsoapply to health insurance.People who have poor healthhabits should bemade respon-sible for their poor choices.

That would cause a healthierpopulation and lower costs.

Pre-existing conditionsshould be covered by insur-ance purchased prior to birth,preferably at conception. Thecost would be very small andhandled by special firms thatcover it in perpetuity. It shouldremain in effect when thecovered person purchases apersonal policy.

While the conditionsmayrequire some consideration, atransfer of the small amounton the original policywouldeliminate political arguing.This is a cost that the publicshouldwillingly accept.Mysuggestion is that the costwould be covered by a tax onpolitical advertisements. Howis that for creating honestyand efficiency?

St. Vincent de Paul’srecent 11th annualRetroFittings event

was attended by a rec-ord-breaking 800 guests.

The event was movedto Music Hall this yearbecause of repeat sell-outcrowds. The new Cre-ative Director, Joe Rigot-ti, used the new venue,Music Hall, as inspira-tion for this year’s theme,“A Night at the Opera.”

The event showcasedthe fashion designs ofmore than 55 studentsfrom the University ofCincinnati's College ofDesign, Architecture, Artand Planning. Each stu-dent was given a $10voucher to shop at one ofSt. Vincent de Paul’sseven Thrift Stores toredesign and create anensemble inspired by oneof eight famous operas.

Each design was mod-eled in a New York stylefashion show by UC stu-dents and other special

guests including eventemcee Artrell Hawkins,Cincinnati Bengal AdamJones and owners ofCincy Style Edit, MarshaAshley and BrockMait-land.

The event also fea-tured a boutique filledwith vintage and trendyitems donated to St. Vin-cent de Paul’s thriftstores, cocktails andh'ors d'oeuvres, raffleprizes, and a live auctionwith items such as aone-of-a-kind jewelrypiece designed byKrombholz jewelers.

Proceeds from theevent will benefit St.Vincent de Paul's effortsto bring hope to the frontline of poverty, withmore than 900 parishvolunteers visiting thehomes of neighbors inneed to provide innova-tive, practical emergen-cy assistance throughoutGreater Cincinnati.

FEBRUARY 5, 2014 • TRI-COUNTY PRESS • B3LIFE

I always get senti-mental around Valen-tine’s Day. I rememberbeing a kid in secondgrade, hoping I’d getsome Valentine cardsfrommy classmates,particularly Bobby Simp-

son. Itwas al-ways funwatchingmy boyswhenthey werethat agechoosespecialcards fortheirValen-

tines. Times change, butthe message is the same.Anybody can be yourValentine, so rememberthose folks who have lenta helping hand, or whomay just need cheeringup. Send them a funnykid’s card with a noteand, if you can, share oneof these recipes withthem. Chocolate rules!

Cappuccinomochapudding cake akaUpside down hotfudge pudding cake

If you’re making thisfor kids or someone whodoesn’t like coffee flavor,leave out espresso. Thefun thing about this isyou learn a bit of foodchemistry: the hot fudgesauce is poured over thetop of the cake batter,and as the cake bakes,the sauce turns to pud-ding and sinks to thebottom while the cakebatter rises to the top!

Cake:

2 cups flour

1⁄3 cup plus 1 tablespooncocoa powder

2 teaspoons instantespresso coffee powder

1 tablespoon baking powder11⁄2 cups sugar1 cup chopped toastedwalnuts or other nuts(optional)

1 cupmilk4 tablespoons melted butter2 teaspoons vanilla

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Spray 9-inch by13-inch pan. Whisk flour,cocoa, espresso powder,baking powder and sugartogether. In separatebowl, whisk milk, butterand vanilla. Add this todry ingredients andblend. Pour into pan.

Pudding:

1 cup sugar1 cup brown sugar, firmlypacked

1⁄2 cup plus 2 tablespoonscocoa powder

13⁄4 cup very hot water

Mix sugars and cocoa.Pour water over andwhisk. Pour ever so gent-ly and evenly over batter.Pudding will look quitethin but gets real thick asit bakes. Bake 30-35 min-utes or until center is setand just firm to touch.Don’t over bake or youwon’t get much pudding!

Diabetic chocolatelover’s cheesecake

I remember this reci-pe from friend and for-mer colleague, JoannaLund, founder of HealthyExchanges.

1pound fat-free creamcheese, room temperature

4 serving packagesugar-free instantchocolate fudge pudding

mix2⁄3 cup nonfat dry milkpowder

1 cup water1⁄4 cup Cool Whip Lite1 teaspoon vanilla1 chocolate-flavoredpiecrust, 6 oz.

Garnish:

2 (21⁄2-inch squares)chocolate grahamcrackers, crushed

2 tablespoons minichocolate chips

Stir cream cheesewith a spoon and addpudding mix, milk pow-der and water. Mix wellusing a whisk. Blend inCool Whip and vanilla.Spread into crust. Sprin-kle cracker crumbs andchips over top. Refriger-ate at least 1 hour.

Serves 8. Each serv-ing: Calories 215, Fat 7gm, Protein 26 gm, Carbs644 mg

Easy chocolatefondue

This can be madeahead and reheated.Serve with chunks offruit, cake, etc.

I like to ladle some outfor the kids before add-ing liqueur.

4 cups chocolate chips, yourchoice (approximately 24oz.)

1 cup whipping cream,unwhipped

1⁄2 cupmilk1 teaspoon vanilla or 1⁄2teaspoon almond extract

Liqueur: Start with 2tablespoons and go fromthere (optional) - I usedorange liqueur

Put chips, cream andmilk in pan. Whisk overlow heat until chips are

melted and mixture issmooth. Stir in vanillaand liqueur.

Tips from readers’kitchens

Tortellini soup update.Sandy, a loyal reader,made the tortellini soupwith spinach and used a19 oz. bag of tortellini andfound it was way toomuch for the quart ofbroth. She decided to addmore broth, whichworked. Sandy asked me

to specify howmuchtortellini to put in. Iwould say start with 2cups tortellini and gofrom there.

John Pancoast’s egg-plant casserole. MaryLou K. made this healthi-er by substituting wholewheat crackers for thetopping and low-fat yo-gurt for the whippingcream. “It was very deli-cious and would make agreat main dish, thoughwe had it with trout and

considered it our vegeta-ble and starch,” she said.

When Sharonville resi-dent Adrienne Larsonearned her associate de-gree from the Universityof Cincinnati Blue AshCollege in 1978 she wasproud of the accomplish-ment, but wasn’t confi-dent enough in her abili-ties to believe she couldcontinue her education.Thirty-five years latershe has finally earned herbachelor’s degree.

“Adrienne is the per-fect example of lifelonglearning, which is a corecomponent of ourmissionat UC Blue Ash,” said Ca-dy Short-Thompson, deanof UC Blue Ash College.“She shows that it’s nevertoo late to go back toschool and earn your col-lege degree.”

Before she returned tocollege, Larson enjoyedpersonal and professionalsuccess over the past 30-plus years. She became asocial worker, got mar-ried, and raised four sons.

As her career evolvedand she thrived in the di-etary and culinary indus-tries,Larsonwasfrustrat-ed by the feeling that shewas being held back fromadvancing into a manage-mentpositionbecauseshedidn’t have a bachelor’sdegree.

“There I was in myearly 50s with a big deci-sion to make,” Larson

said. “I could settle for be-ing overworked and un-derpaid,or Icouldgobackto school andget thebach-elor’s degree I alwayswanted.”

With the support of herfamily, Larson made thedecision to return toschool and immediatelyfocused on UC because ofher positive experiencethe first time around. Shewas interested in a bache-lor’s degree that wouldbuild on her leadershipexperience and add thebusiness managementskills she needed for thenext step in her career.

That was when shelearned about the newAp-plied Administrationbachelor’s program at UCBlueAsh. It allowedher totransfer all of the creditsshe earned from her asso-ciate degree toward abachelor’s degree. Theprogram prepares stu-dents formanagementop-portunities with a focuson communication, col-laboration, leadership,and business ethics.

“The fact that this pro-gram was offered at UCBlue Ash was a dream,”Larson said. “The classesare perfect for what Ineeded to build on my ex-perience and enhance myleadership skills, theschedule was flexible so Icould continue to work,

and earning a bachelor’sdegree fromUC gives methe added credibility I al-ways wanted.”

Going back to schoolafter such a long timeaway can cause someanxiety. Larson used tohate writing papers whenthey were done on a type-writer, but she found itwasn’t so bad when usinga computer. She haslearned how to take testsonline, do research on theInternet, and use UC’sBlackboard system toregister for classes.These were all new expe-riencesandwitheachtaskcompleted, she felt asense of achievement.

After overcoming herfears of returning to col-lege and even takingclasses on the same cam-pus with her youngestson, Larson received herbachelor’s degree. It was35 years in the making.

Along with advancingher degree, Larson alsoearned something elsethat she believes is just asvaluable, self-confidence.“I am truly excited aboutmy future,” Larson said.“My return to the class-room has been the mostchallenging and empow-ering activity I have everundertaken. I have newgoals nowbecause I didn’tsettle for less than I wascapable of achieving.”

UC Blue Ash graduate realizes her dream 35 years later

Adrienne Larson, of Sharonville, officially earned her bachelor's degree at the Universityof Cincinnati Fall Commencement Dec. 14. THANKS TO PETE GEMMER
