some feedback from about 100ofhisconstituentsregardingthefederal government.

Chabot (R-Westwood) hosteda town hallmeeting at the Even-dale Recreation Center, 10500

Reading Road, Aug. 7 to sharesome of his views on the biggestissues concerning Washington,as well as get some input backfrom people living in the FirstCongressional District that herepresents. Among those issuesweretheHealthcareAffordabil-ity Act, dubbed Obamacare, im-migration and Cincinnati’s

streetcar project.He talked about how he

thinks Obamacare needs to be

defunded, but there are severalparts of the act that he feels arefavorable. Chabot said that por-tions of the act, such as childrenstayingonparents’ health insur-ance policies until 26 and indi-viduals with pre-existing condi-tions being provided insurance,shouldbemaintained.Headded,though, that he felt the act en-compasses toomuch.

“It doesn’t justify jamming

something like this down ourthroats,” he said.

Students at Vermont School arelearning lessons as varied asthe plants they’re growing.

Students in grades kinder-garten through four designed,

funded and planted a garden that willprovide sustenance to the community,and to a sister school in Africa.

The inter-disciplinary projectbrought together students in allgrades to build, plot, plant, measureand determine what plants, herbs andvegetables to grow.

Theygathereddonations fromlocalbusinesses and families, and studiednativeOhioplantsandtheir lifecycles.

The herbs and vegetables will beharvested at Wyoming’s Farmer’sMarket, and the students will host asoup-and-saladnight inAugust toraisefunds for their sister school, The Em-poweringChildrenSchool inSierraLe-one.

The benefit was more than a sci-enceormath lesson, saidAdamBeard,

the third-grade teacher who coordi-nated the project.

“It gives kids a sense of pride,” hesaid,“andtheopportunitytogiveback.

“They have a garden to raise, andlearn from, and use it to give back tokids around the world who need theirhelp.

“They’re learning here, but givingthere.”

Each grade had a section of the gar-den,where theyplantedvegetables in-cluding lettuce, carrots, corn, toma-toes, green beans, peas, onions and li-ma beans, among others.

Third-grader JeffreyEvans said helikeswatching theplantsget taller andgrow.

“It pays off for all your hardwork.”His favorite part?“I likedmeasuringtheplots tomake

the garden.”LaurenTurnersaid she learned that

plants grow differently.“Some plants grow tall, like corn,”

she said. “But carrots, the part you eatgrows in the ground.”

She enjoyed planting the seeds.“It’s fun to know where they’re

Sharonville is considering adding an-other hotel as part of the reinvigorationof Chester Road.

The city commissioned a study byHotel andLeisureAdvisors that has sup-ported the construction of a hotel in thefront lot of the Sharonville ConventionCenter.

The $20,000 study, funded throughthe city’s economic development gener-al budget, is a typical first step in the de-velopment process, according to Eco-nomic Development Director Chris XeilLyons.

Lyons said the study also suggested:» an interior connection, from the

convention center to the hotel;» a select service hotel size of about

180 rooms;» an onsite, full-service restaurant;» amenities forbusiness travelers, in-

cluding a business center and WiFi; and» a modest banquet space and board

room.The hotel would be built and owned

by a private company, on land eitherleased or bought from the city.

Lyons said the study, still in a draftstage, is the first step in determining thefuture of Chester Road.

“If Republicans in theHouse fold (on Obama-care), they will have norespect fromanyone elsein the United States,” shesaid.

Chabot also touchedon immigration and theactionsfollowingtheSen-ate’s immigration reformbill.Insteadofasweepingbill, he said that targetingcertain areas for reformwould be more effective.Some of the areas he saidthat arebeingconsideredfor change in the form ofHouse bills are improv-ing border control, add-ing more crimes that in-clude deportation as apenalty, streamlining theagriculturalworkerspro-gram that ensures work-ing immigrants return to

their country after workis finished and other im-migration issues.

His discussion lookedat topics as well, includ-ing Cincinnati’s streetcarproject. Although Con-gress is not involved,Chabot said that if hecould, he would defundthe streetcar and doesn’tsupport federal stimulusfundsfor it,butconsidersmoney for that betterusedfor“legitimate”pro-jectssuchasroadsandin-terstates.

“It’s not free moneyfrom Washington,” hesaid, “The streetcar is awaste of money ... I don’tthink people will be rid-ing the streetcar regular-ly.”

Here is another"mark your calendar"event for this summer.

Come to the maindining room of the RailHouse on Glendale’sVillage Squarefrom 5 p.m. to 7p.m. Saturday,Aug. 24. Newowner Jay Silber-mann will havedrinks and appe-tizers at the meetand greet for twoof Glendale’s veryown authors, Dr.Michael Whiteand Joe D’Amato,who will talk about andsign their latest books.

Although Joe’s bookis about the Mafia andMike’s is about teaching,the two writers share aconnection. Joe jokesthat Mike tells himwhere to put the com-mas and he tells Mikewhere to shoot the char-acters.

You may rememberDr. White from a 2009article about “Extraordi-nary Teachers: Teachingfor Success,” the bookhe wrote with HarryBarnes, Amy Crouseand Cara Bafile. Thatendeavor to teach theteacher continues withhis new book, “TapDancing to Work: How aSmall Group of Teach-ers Can Conquer theCommon Core."

Collaborating withBonnie Grimm (retiredGlendale ElementarySchool teacher), LindseyYoung (Princeton City

Schools instructionalmath coach) and BobStark (Princeton CitySchools/Hamilton Coun-ty Educational ServiceCenter special education

coordinator),Mike constructeda seven-stepworkshop modelthat very sen-sibly identifiesour educationproblem, devisesa plan to solvethe problem andgets results.

Dr. White isthe director of

Educational ConsultingServices. I rememberhis views about commonsense and critical think-ing that he uses to greateffect.

He contends that theproblem in our educa-tional system is not theteachers, but rather thesystem itself.

“We don’t have ateacher problem, wehave a teaching prob-lem. We need to providethe teachers we alreadyhave with a better sys-tem. That’s how we’regoing to turn ourschools around.”

The plan asks, “Whatdo you and your stu-dents need?” and “Howcan your colleagueshelp?” Using their mod-el, the primary role oftesting changes frompunishing administra-tors, teachers and stu-dents to informing andimproving instruction.Results are impressive.

Hilliard City Schoolsuses Mike’s model. It isthe ninth largest schoolsystem in Ohio, servingnearly 16,000 students.

Of the 832 Ohioschools and school dis-tricts, Hilliard rankedNo. 1 in 2011-2012 andhas received the state’shighest rating,

“Excellent with Dis-tinction,” for the pastfive years. Otherschools visit Hilliard tosee success in action,and still others fromsurrounding counties aswell other states haveput this system to gooduse.

Joe wrote “Flash-drive,” an intriguingtale about a stolen flashdrive, a double crossand a Cincinnati homi-cide that takes two Cin-cinnati detectives toNew York to find thefemale assassin. Theirinvestigation puts themin contention with acorrupt Washingtonpolitician and a NewYork mobster also afterthe killer. The game isafoot and as the bookdescription reads: “Butthe assassin’s past expe-riences have taught herhow to get herself out ofdifficult situations, andthe detectives findthemselves playing catand mouse with a savvykiller.”

If you love a mystery,your mouth should bewatering by now.Brooke Skyllingstad, aUniversity of Dayton

graphic arts student,also lives in Glendaleand designed the coverfor Joe’s book afterreading only two chap-ters. Every Wednesdayevening at 6:30, Joejoins other members ofCincinnati Writers Pro-ject at Molly Malone’sIrish Pub in PleasantRidge where homeworkis critiquing a chapterof each other’s work.

“I think it’s a fantasticopportunity for the peopleof this area to come andlearn about the Seige ofCincinnati, the activity ofGen.LewWallaceandhowclose we came to being at-tacked,” said Wernz ofWyoming. “I believe thatLew Wallace’s commentsto the people of Cincinnatiare instructive tous to thisday, as the words of Lin-coln also speak tous today.He spoke 150 years ago,but themessage is still thesame, ‘We must be evervigilant.’”

He said he is lookingforward to this year’sevent, especially “doingthe dialogue that shouldhave been,” when Wernzand Walker share thepresidents’ views aboutthe war.

St. Gabriel studentspass through Ellis Island

Eighth-grade students atSaint Gabriel ConsolidatedSchool had an opportunity for ahands-on experience ofwalkingthrough Ellis Island.

During an “ImmigrationSimulation” project, each stu-dent was assigned a person ofEuropean descent. During theweeks prior to arriving at EllisIsland, the students researchedand journaled about their up-coming trip to America.

The students arrived at EllisIsland in costume with theirpassport and possessions. Theythen passed through a simula-tion of a Medical ExaminationStation, General Interview Sta-tionandSpecial InquiryStation.

Volunteers served as immi-gration officers and doctors atrespective stations. Some stu-dents were welcomed to Amer-ica, while others left in despairafter being deported. The pro-ject proved to be verymeaning-ful and thought-provoking forall involved.

kissing their collective sisters in 2012,posting a 5-5-7 record for the season.Four of those ties came in Greater Mi-ami Conference play, where Princetonwent 2-3-4 to finish seventh in theleague.

Head coach Tony Capurro expectssignificant improvement this season.

“I think one of our strengths is wehave great chemistry,” he said. “Sincewe started young, they’ve grown to-gether. They’ve been together three orfour years now and they know what toexpect.”

Seniormidfielder NoahKaiser, sen-ior defender Nathan Walz and juniorcenter midfielder Andrew Rolfesserve as captains. Senior Maleek Demand and junior Jared Grubich returnafter all-GMC performances at defen-sivemidfield anddefender last season.

Senior James Grieshop returns atkeeper behind junior defender JacobRussell and senior center midfielderOmar Ngaide. Juniors Trey Pate andSpencer Turner join senior C.J.Thompson at forward. (Thompson andWalz alsoplay football for theVikings.)

The Vikings open Aug. 20 at homeagainst Wyoming before going on theroad Aug. 21 to face Talawanda.

Roger BaconAfter allowing 57 goals last season

en route to a 2-13-2 season, coach DickArszman likes what he sees defensive-ly from his team in 2013.

SeniorsJoeEngel andBaileyRolsenreturn at the defender position, whileJosh Engel and Scott Enneking areback to man the net.

Kyle Suffoletta and Rash Abdel-wahed are expected to run the offenseafter combining for three goals and sixassists last season.

Junior Bobby Wilking should alsoprovide a spark for Arszman offen-sively.

“Wehave anice nucleus and our keyis to keep themhealthy at this point be-cause we don’t have a lot of (depth),”the coach said. “You get one or two outand that can kind of mess up the conti-nuity of the group.”

TheSpartansstart their seasonAug.17 against Withrow.

St. Xavier

Brian Schaeper takes over theBombers in 2013 after 13-year coachHenry Ahrens stepped down.

Schaeper enters his eighth seasonwith theBombers’ programafter serv-ing as an assistant under Ahrens andmost recently as the junior varsitycoach, so he is very familiar with theroster he is working with.

He takes over a varsity team thatwontheGreaterCatholicLeagueSouthand made a run to the regional semifi-nals last season.

Senior center midfielder AustinHarrell returnsafterscoringfivegoalsand dishing out two assists last season,earninghimfirst teamAll-GCLhonors.

Fellow senior Kiley Sunderhaus ledthe Bombers with seven goals last sea-son en route to first-team honors aswell.

Forward Jack Caudill joins centerdefender David Elsen and midfielderMitch Bernert as the other returners.

“This year’s team is very excitedabout the 2013 season,” Schaeper said.“The players believe in their ability toexperience success, and so far theyhave showed that they are willing toput in the work to accomplish theirgoals.”

The Bombers start their season onthe road at Loveland Aug. 17.

WyomingThe Cowboys rode to a solid record

last fall of 13-3-1 (4-2-1 Cincinnati HillsLeague) but it was only good for fourthplace among the tough competition.

Wyoming has had five straight win-ning seasons and the last league titlecame in 1998.

Coach Steve Thomas returns fivestarting seniors in captainsDrewWay-man and Ryan Derge, plus Jared Hei-dotting, Ben Fershtman and NolanPrevish. Sophomore strikers JayKleinand Ivan Meisner will also be countedupon.

HAMILTON COUNTY — With previewgamesinthebooks, thefollowingisarun-downof high school girls soccer teams inthe Tri-County Press coverage area.

CHCACincinnati Hills Christian Academy

went 8-8-2 last season, including a 3-3record in the Miami Valley Conferencegood for fourth place.

Junior Katie Koopman was one of thetop20scorers in theMVCasasophomoreandshouldhelpsparktheEaglesoffense.

Mount Notre DameDespite a13-3-1overall record in 2012,

coach Doug Conway’s MND Lady Cou-gars were fourth in the GGCL-Scarlet at2-2-1. Still, they’ve had a winning seasonin every season Conway’s been in com-mand and look to be a factor in the re-named Girls Greater Catholic League.

Though standout Rose Lavelle is goneto graduation and Wisconsin, MND re-turns five starters and four college com-mits.

Junior goalkeeperSamLeshnakwasaU17 World National Team member andwill play forNorthCarolina. SeniorMad-die Volz will play for Anderson Univer-sity in South Carolina, senior Amy Deanisgoing toAkronandseniorKellyHinkleis going to Charleston Southern. Hinklewas GGCL-Scarlet second team last sea-son.

Other possible commitments couldcome in the future with seniorMaria Ve-neziano and several juniors.

In addition, Conway is high on fresh-man forward/goalkeeper Jenna Pratha-pa.

“Wehaveaveryathletic and seasonedteamwithagoodmixofupperclassmen,”Conway said. “It’s the best freshmanclass I have ever seen and should impactthe team moving forward. We should begood for years to come.”

Mount Notre Dame starts the seasonat Mason Aug. 20. The home opener isAug. 24 against Lebanon.

PrincetonThe Vikings went 5-12-1 last season

and finished in the bottom quarter of theGreater Miami Conference.

First-year head coach Rich Ledfordreturns several keyplayershehopeswillhelp facilitate a return to a winning rec-ord.

“One thing thatwedowell is the bond-ing and structure of the team,” he said.“They’ve bought in to what we’re teach-ing. I think we can really turn the cornerfor Princeton soccer.”

Seniors Skyler Wilson and HaileyMartin return in the midfield, whileclassmate Izzy Reisen is back as a de-fender. Senior Sierra Powell brings addi-tional experience.

NCAA Dvision I prospect Abby Ste-vens - a junior goalie - was an all-GMCand all-city honoree as a sophomore andanchors the defense,which should be thestrength of the team.

“I think scoring might be a little bitdifficult for us,” Ledford said. “We’re go-ing to really work on putting the ball inthe net. We have some new formationsthat are more attack heavy.”

Princeton opens the season Aug. 21 athome against Talawanda.

Roger BaconTom Eckart enters his fifth season as

the Spartans’ coach.After running out a young team in

2012 that finished the season 6-12, Eckartis hoping for a better understanding ofhis systemwith the girls having a seasonunder their belts.

Sophomore striker Jackie Frame isback after leading the Spartans with 12goalsaseasonago.She is joinedbyfellowsophomore Shelby Watterson at defend-er and junior Ashley DeBurger at mid-field.

Eckarthasapositionbattlebrewingatgoalkeeper between junior Tabatha Ad-ams and freshman Natalie Geers. WhileAdams holds the position as of today, heexpects the newcomer to challenge forplaying time throughout the season.

Eckart and his Spartans open the sea-

son Aug. 17 versus Clark Montessori atWithrow.

Ursuline AcademyThe Lions were one step from the Di-

vision I final four last season - going 16-3-2 and taking second in the Girls Great-erCincinnatiLeague -before losing2-1toMason in the regional final.

Head coach ColleenDehring graduat-ed seven from that squad, including 2013Northeast Suburban Life Sportswomanof theYearMichelleChristy,nowplayingat Tennessee, and Sarah Byrne who nowplays for Dayton. But Ursuline’s cup-board is far from bare as a result.

“We have great team chemistry and avery strong returning core,” Dehringsaid. “We also have several players whohave been playing together for threeyears, so they know each other and un-derstand how to playwith each other.Wehave holes to fill in each area of the field,but I am confident that we have a greatgroup from which we can fill thoseholes.”

Returning starters include a pair ofseniors in keeper Anna Speyer and de-fender AllisonWerner. Also back a quin-tet of juniors: Defenders Jordan Holl-meyer and Emma Niehaus, midfieldersMattina Girardot and Andie Kennard,and striker Sarah Roberston.

Varsity veterans who could step intostarting roles this season include seniormidfielder Sarah Seedhouse, juniormid-fielderEmilyHalmi, juniordefenderAn-drea Sanitato and sophomore midfielderHolyn Alf. Keep an eye on freshmanPaige Hollmeyer, Jordan’s younger sis-ter, who could make an impact rightaway.

WyomingThe Cowboys hope to be back in the

winning saddle after a 6-11 (4-3 Cincin-nati Hills League) campaign last fall un-der coach Lauren Gruber.

The second-year coach returns sixstarters in seniors Emma Klug, KelseyBrunsman,MaddieClark,CarlyVarland,Lindsey Smith and sophomore MeredithGlover.

Klug and Varland were second teamCHL selections, with Clark making hon-orable mention.

Gruber also has some promisingfreshmen in striker Kayla Hampton andmidfielder Jasmine Evans. Junior OliviaMunneke takes over at goalkeeper, withWyoming’s last two keepers now playingDivision I soccer.

“We have some exciting young talentthis year to complement several key re-turning seniors who are entering theirfourth varsity season,” Gruber said. “Ifsome of the young players can step upand fill some key roles for us, we hope tobe able to compete with some of theheavyweights on our schedule.”

The remainder of the Cowboys rosterincludes seniors Katie Sena, DanielleRush andAnnaKamphaus; juniorsRosy-lenRathbone,BrianaHall andSoniaPen-dery; sophomore Chelsea Davis andfreshmen Casey Jervier and Emily Du-dek.

goals were scored by OakHills High School High-landers — Sydney Kil-gore,BayleyFeist,Britta-ny Mahoney, and KatieMurray — while the fifthwas notched by SummitCountry Day’s MiaSchreibeis. The secondmatch was tighter, Feistand Dixie Height HighSchool’s Lauren Neme-roff scoring late goals togive Kings Hammer a 2-1victory over Match FitColchesters (N.J.). Neme-roff scored the loneKingsHammer goal in a 1-1draw with 97 LouisianaFireNavy. The 2-0-1mark

For thesecondstraightyear, Kings HammerAcademy’s girls U16 redteamplaced second at the2013 U.S. Youth SoccerNational Championships.The squad advanced tothe championship matchbefore falling in penaltykicks on Sunday, July 28,at the Overland Park Soc-cer Complex in OverlandPark, Kan.

Last year, Kings Ham-mer lost the NationalChampionship 1-0. Thisyear, Kings Hammer ex-tended the championshipmatch into overtime, be-fore losing on PKs, 2-2(5-3). The loss stings, butthere is definitely com-fort in playing at thehigh-est level against the bestteams the country has tooffer. Following the tour-nament, Kings Hammerwas awarded the FairPlay Award, given to theteam that all coaches andadministrators voted onas thebest overall teamatthe championships.

“Our expectation go-ing into thisyearafter los-ing last yearwas to go onebetter and win it all,” saidKingsHammercoachJonPickup. “That being said,to reach aNational Cham-pionship two years in arow is something specialin itself.”

In the first match ofthechampionships,KingsHammer routed TomsRiver (New Jersey) EliteUnitedFC, 5-1. Four of the

inpool playwasenough toadvance Kings Hammerto theNationalChampion-ship, where they facedSouthern California’sDMCV Sharks Elite.

“The girls played verywell together and jelledvery quickly this year aswe had quite a lot of turn-over at the end of last sea-son,” said Pickup. “That’swhat has impressed methe most this year as thegirls really tookoffwherethey left off in 2012.”

The core of the teamhas been together forthree to four years, withseveral players growing

upwith theprogramsincethey began playing selectsoccer at age 7. CaptainPayton Atkins (TurpinHigh School, Universityof Kentucky commit) hasbeen playing for KingsHammer since she was 7.While many of the girlscompete against one an-other each fall, teamchemistryhasnotbeenanissue for Kings Hammer.

“Playing as a team isour best attribute. We ob-viously have great play-ers but we work hard foreach other and the teamconcept is our main fo-cus,” said Pickup. “The

players’ dedication anddrive also impresses me.We try to play the gamethe right way so in re-gards success our posses-sion of the ball was key.”

In the final, MahoneygaveKingsHammer a1-0lead heading into half-time. A goal by DMCV inthe 69th minute forcedovertime. Nemeroff putKings Hammer back ontop with a goal in over-time, but her score wasequalizedbyDMCVin the95thminute.DMCVwas aperfect 5-5 in penaltykicks to earn the victory.

“It was devastating to

lose on pens aswe had nu-merous opportunities towin the game in regula-tion and then again inovertime after leading inboth periods,” said Pick-up. “We played wellenough towin thegamesoit was hard going all theway to penalties only tolose especially after los-ing last year as well.”

Despite the heart-breaking loss, there wereplenty positives to takeaway from the experi-ence. Nemeroff wasnamed the MVP of thetournament, and she wasjoined on the Best 11 byMurray. Their individualefforts were recognized,but it was the total teameffort that has broughtKings Hammer so muchsuccess in recent years.

“Iwould say the team’sconsistencyat thehighestlevel is what impressesme the most,” said Pick-up. “I think what makesplaying us so hard is thatother teams need to shutdown our whole teamrather than certain indi-viduals.”

The players now pre-pare for their high schoolseasons. Most will bebackwithKingsHammernext year, hoping that thethird time is the charm.

“These girls, with afew new additions, willreturn as always focusedand ready to try andachieve their ultimategoal of becoming Nation-al Champions,” said Pick-up. “Third time is lucky iswhat I am hoping for!”

A publication of

Half of Americans have lessthan $10,000 in savings, andonly 14 percent are very confi-dent they will have enoughmoney for a comfortable re-tirement according to a studyby the Employee Benefit Re-search Institute.

Our nation’s retirementsystem has been described asa “three-legged stool” of pen-sions, savings and Social Secu-rity.

As employer provided pen-sions have disappeared andsaving has become more diffi-cult for families, Social Securi-ty has never been more impor-tant.

Social Security is one of thegreatest anti-poverty pro-grams in our country’s history.This most efficient, most ef-fective retirement program is

under attack by peoplewho want us to believethat the only way tosave the program is toslash benefits.

U.S. Sen. Tom Har-kin has a differenttake.

The StrengtheningSocial Security Act of2013 (S.B 567) intro-duced by Sen. Harkin(D-IA) would:

» Strengthen benefits byreforming the Social Securitybenefit formula – To improvebenefits for current and futureSocial Security beneficiaries,the Act changes the method bywhich the Social Security Ad-ministration calculates SocialSecurity benefits.

This change would boostbenefits for all Social Security

beneficiaries by ap-proximately $70 permonth, but is targetedto help those in the lowand middle of the in-come distribution, forwhom Social Securityhas become an evergreater share of theirretirement income.

» Ensure that cost ofliving adjustments ade-quately reflect the living

expenses of retirees – The Actchanges the way the SocialSecurity Administration calcu-lates the Cost of Living Ad-justments (COLA). To ensurethat benefits better reflectcost increases facing seniors,future COLAs would be basedon the Consumer Price Indexfor the Elderly (CPI-E.) Mak-ing this change to Social Secu-

rity would result in higherCOLAs, ensuring that seniorsare able to better keep up withthe rising costs of essentialitems, like health care.

» Improve the long-termfinancial condition of the TrustFund – Social Security is not incrisis, but does face a long-term deficit. To help extendthe life of the trust fund theAct phases out the currenttaxable cap of $113,700 so thatpayroll taxes apply fairly toevery dollar of wages.

Combined, these changeswould increase benefits forcurrent and future beneficia-ries while making Social Secu-rity stronger for future gener-ations by extending the life ofthe Trust Fund through 2049.

Harkin commented on hisStrengthening Social Security

Act of 2013, “We must ensurethat, after a lifetime of hardwork, Americans are able toretire with dignity and finan-cial independence. This legis-lation helps to achieve thatgoal.”

At a time when all the otherpillars of our retirement secu-rity are coming up short, wehave Senator Harkin to thankfor providing the leadership topreserve Social Security forthe long- term.

If we follow Harkin’s lead,Social Security works well intothe future.

Social Security more important now than ever

RichardSchwabCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Aug. 7 questionShould the minimum wage for fast-

food workers be doubled from $7.25 to$15 an hour and should they be given theright to unionize? Why or why not?

“For more than 50 years, fast foodlocations have been great places forhigh school age students to get theirfirst real part time job and/or summerjob. The hourly wage was in line withthe federal minimum wage adjustedfor each state.

“Part of the food prices offered atsuch places as McDonalds, KFC, andBurger King is dependent on lowerpayroll costs. Those wishing to makemore than minimum could work morehours and get into management.

“Owning a franchise was a dreamformany.Thecurrenthourlywage is inlinewithgovernmentguidelines. If it israised too high each fast food locationwill cut back on the number of employ-ees and their hours. Americanworkershave a right to unionize.

“Due to the employee turnover andlack of full time workers I suspect thiswould not be a fertile ground for union-ization. I suspect if theBigMac,Whop-per etc., were doubled in price the pub-lic response would be to cut back onfast food. Thatwould lead to fewer out-lets and less jobs. But at least these arenot jobs that can be outsourced over-seas or replaced by robots (yet). GoFigure!”

T.D.T

“Yes, minimum wage workers de-serve to make more money at McDon-ald’s and everywhere.

“I worked at Frisch’s in college andbarely make $4 and hour many yearsago.

“This helps the social safety net tostop having to support poor families,and higher wages always boost theeconomy.

“Unions make things better for themiddle class even though conserva-tives ignorantly complain about pen-sions and costs.

“Remember: most Americans havea five-day work week and several paidholidays because of the unions fightingthe good fight for labor!”

TRog

“No, not to $15but it shouldberaiseda couple of bucks. In real terms, the$7.25/hr. is less thanwhen it was raisedthe last time. No one can live on that.

“Also it isyouandI, through thegov-ernment, that is subsidizing these cor-porations, whether it be McDonalds orWal-Mart, since so many of their em-ployees qualify for SNAP and/orMedi-caid. This is corporate welfare at itsworst.

“Business must provide a livingwage. Does not mean that those on thebottom should earn the same as an ex-

ecutive, but it does mean that theyshould at least stop being exploited.

“Lastly, the argument put forwardbyMcDonaldsandothers that this isof-ten entry level jobs for teens is lame.Most of the workers I see in the fastfood industry are hard pressed formermiddle-class citizens who are trying toget by. Good luck.”

J.Z.

“The wages people earn are deter-mined by the value of their labor to theemployer and the willingness of em-ployees to work for what employersare willing to pay.

“If there are enough people willingto work for $7.25, why should employ-ers pay more?

“If the government forces a dou-bling of the wage, the price everyoneelse will pay for the food will increasesignificantly. The sales of fast foodwilldecline (may not be a bad thing), andthe restaurants will employ fewer peo-ple.

“Some of the best employees willmake more money and a whole bunchwill be out of a job.”

F.S.D.

“Of course not. All that will do is in-crease inflation. When unions firstcame into the business world theyserved a purpose – to prevent employ-ers from abusing employees.

“Today, all unions do is make theunions richer whilemaking companiesraise their prices so they can turn aprofit. Companies are in business tomake money, not break even.

“When theguycuttinggrassat aGMplant is making $75/hr. something iswrong. One only has to look at Detroitto see what four decades of union anddemocratic policies can do to a once vi-brant, growing city.

“People need to be paid a livingwage. $7.25/hr. is NOT a livingwage. Ifyou raise it to $15/hr and allow theunions in that$15/hr.willbeabout$8/hr.after union dues.”

July 31 questionShould school districts adopt a policy

to allow trained and qualified principalsand other school officials to carry loadedhandguns in schools like the Edgewoodschool district? Why or why not?

“Every school should have qualifiedand trained officials, volunteers andstudents allowed to carry concealedhandguns. There are 'crazies,’ crimi-nals, and terrorists in your neighbor-hood. Signs with ‘No concealed carry'posted at establishments are open invi-tations to criminals – because crimi-nals donot like confrontations. For sur-vival without guns – see www.5second-survival.comfor typicalattacks.Everyimportant politician or person hasarmed security guard(s). If your chil-dren are important, they should havearmed guards protecting them."

NEXT QUESTIONShould U.S. lawmakers and their staffs continue to receive a federal contribution towardthe health insurance that they must purchase through soon-to-open exchanges createdby President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law to prevent the largely unintendedloss of healthcare benefits for 535 members of the Senate and House of Representativesand thousands of Capitol Hill staff. Why or why not?

Every week we ask readers a question they can reply to via e-mail. Send your answers [email protected] with Chatroom in the subject line.

Recent incidents, including legalproceedings involving gun killings,have reminded me of the Code of theWest, perhaps better remembered asthe Cowboy’s Code of Conduct.

Back in the days when the nationwas a youth and in places where rat-tlesnakes abounded on the trail, ourhardy forefathers lived and died bythis code. Some of us can only re-member the gunslinger’s law whichsays “shoot first and ask questionslater.”

This quip is a gross over-simplifi-cation of a complex situation. Forinstance the code says that when astranger wanders into camp, onemust provide him with a meal anddrink. Further one must not ask aboutthe stranger’s background and cer-tainly never insult his mother. Other-wise he is liable to draw his six shoot-er. At that point and if he does, thenone may shoot firstand ask the hardquestions later.

Today 30 statesof the Union have“stand your ground”statutes, and therest will debatewhether to haveone. Only last weeka bill was intro-duced into the Ohiolegislature to allowconcealed carry offirearms into publicplaces such as churches, day cares,and government buildings.

Are we reverting to a nation ofgunslingers who in days long gonewore six-guns out of necessity, butalways openly and with an honor codeon their use? Are our communities sobroken and the citizens so over-wrought with fear of assault that wemust live by the point of our gunbecause that is the only law that theoutlaw understands?

Before the invention of “standyour ground,” our common law re-quired a man to retreat from an as-sault before one is justified in shoot-ing the assailant. A finer point ofcommon law, now apparently forgot-ten, is that a man claiming self de-fense cannot be the one who initiatesa confrontation. I can write about theCode of the West with trepidation andalso with some fond admiration be-cause under that code, the good cow-boy must never gun down an un-armed man and certainly never evera woman or child.

Asummer enrich-ment programhas brought sixstudents togeth-er from two localhigh schools, and

they’ve created a worthy oppo-nent to a classic game.

The students, recent gradu-ates and rising seniors asPrinceton and Lakota Westhigh schools, are part of a pro-gram focused on engineering.

Northrup Grumman’s WOR-THYprogram, part of theHighSchool Involvement Partner-ship (HIP), is designed to en-couragehigh school students topursue technical degrees andcareers.

It provides an environmentwhere students can learn thefundamentals of engineering,then apply them in a way thatstimulates creative thinkingthrough problem solving.

Princeton High Schoolteacher Brian Lien has led stu-dents for the past two years inthe program that includes aninternship during the schoolyear, and an opportunity to par-ticipate in the summer enrich-ment program.

The students wanted a pro-ject that was interactive, to al-low others to participate.

“It’s a lot more exciting ifpeople can participate in it,”said Sam Ficke, a PrincetonHigh School graduate who willattend the University of Cin-cinnati in the fall, to study elec-trical engineering.

They decided to ramp up aclassic board game: checkers.

The project incorporatedSTEM principles of science,technology, engineering andmath.

» Science: they learnedabout ferric chloride, used todissolve toner to expose copperfor the circuit board.

» Technology: They usedcomputer-aided-design, robot-ics, computer language to pro-gram the robot and circuitboard, and woodworking tomodify the board for the pro-ject.

» Engineering: They builtthe robot and designed thecheckerboard to accommodatethe circuit board.

»Math: Programming re-quired inverse trigonometry.

“We broke it down into threeareas,” said Scott Kieback, agraduate of Lakota West HighSchool and incoming freshmanat the University of Illinois,where he will study chemicalengineering.

“The first was game logics,where you have to have a strat-egy built into the computer,”

Kieback said. “Then, the elec-tronic part of the checker-board, and how it was going tosense the activity.

“Third is the movement ofthe robot.”

They researched and builtthe project from scratch,learning how to make a circuitboard using a heat press totransfer toner to a copper plateand customizing the checker-board for the electronic en-hancement.

The robot was built and pro-grammed to “look at” multipleprevious moves and “decide”where tomove its checker, thenpickup thepiece andplace it onthe corresponding square.

The robot tracks the game’smovements, so it doesn’t needto recognize the colors of thecheckers, the students ex-plained.

When the checker is movedto a square, itsmagnet closes toread the switch in the circuitboard.

The students said the pro-ject brought unexpected chal-lenges.

“When we were building thecopper circuit boards, gettingthe print to transfer to the platewas hard,” Scheile Preston, aPrinceton senior, said.

“Because the magnet has tocomplete a circuit, we had toexperiment with the thicknessof the board, and adjust basedon what we experimentedwith.”

Matt Schaefer, a senior atLakota West, tackled algor-hithms.

“Thealgorhithmswerecom-plicated, sowe had to do a lot ofresearch on efficiency basedon memory, to generate themoves,” he said.

“There’s a tradeoff betweenhow fast it can play and howsmart the robot is,” Kiebacksaid. “It was a big learning ex-perience.”

Lien said the team will useabout $1,800 of the $3,000 bud-get provided by NorthrupGrumman for the summer en-richment project.

The team,which also includ-ed Jasmine Davis, a Princetonsenior; and Nick Perrin, whowill study computer scienceand engineering at The OhioStateUniversity in the fall, pre-sented the project to engineersand management at NorthrupGrumman in SpringdaleAug.1.

Before that, they took the ro-bot to Columbus, to participatein the Ohio State Fair July 31.

The allowed the students tocollect feedback from visitors,as well as practice for theirpresentation.

Sometimes I wish I was ahigh-tech person. Like a whileback when I made dilly beansand took photos of the beanspicked frommy garden alongwith photos of the finishedbeans after canning. I stillhave the photo of the gardenbeans, but the finishedbeans in jars photohas vanished and Idon’t know how toretrieve it frommycamera. I can’t takeanother photo be-cause, well, the beansare all gone.

The recipe makesfour jars and were sogood that we ate a jarand gave the otherthree away. But I promise youwill love the beans, photo ornot.

I was blown away by thehuge response to TomW.’srequest for a 7-Up cake thatwas published years ago in theEnquirer. The stories alonemade me chuckle, not to men-tion how good all the recipeslooked. I will share both in anupcoming blog. Today I’msharing two versions: Onefrom scratch, which Tomwant-ed, and another using a cakemix. Some folks don’t ice thecake, but others do so I’m shar-ing icing recipes as well.

Rita’s classic dilly beansFriend and colleague Leah

Ochs, director of Jungle Jim’scooking school, has a similarrecipe and substitutes Srirachasauce to taste for the pepperflakes.

2 generous pounds green beans,trimmed to fit canning jars

4 teaspoons dill seed or 4 largeheads dill

4 small cloves garlic1 teaspoon red pepper flakes,divided (optional)

21⁄2 cups clear vinegar

21⁄2 cups water1⁄4 cup canning salt

Pack beans lengthwise intofour hot pint jars, leaving1⁄4-inch head space. To eachpint, add 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper, 1clove garlic and 1 teaspoon dill

seed. Bring vinegar, waterand salt to a boil. Pourimmediately over beans,leaving 1⁄4-inch head space.Remove air bubbles bysliding a butter knifearound inside edges ofjars. Wipe rims clean withdamp cloth. Place sealsand rings on. Process 10minutes in boiling waterbath. These are best eatenchilled.

Tip from Rita’s kitchenIf you don’t want to can

these, cap and seal, cool toroom temperature and store inrefrigerator up to six months.

7-Up cake from scratchHere’s Donna A.’s recipe

from 30 years ago. Tomwanteda from-scratch recipe, so hope-fully this will work.

11⁄2 cups butter, softened3 cups sugar5 eggs3 cups flour2 tablespoons lemon extract3⁄4 cup 7-Up

Preheat oven to 325 de-grees. Cream sugar and buttertogether and beat until lightand fluffy (about 20 minuteswith an electric beater). Addeggs, one at a time and beatwell. Add flour one cup at atime. Beat in lemon extractand 7-Up. Pour batter into awell greased and floured jum-bo, fluted Bundt pan. Bake for1-11⁄4 hours.

Simple lemon glazeThis is one I use for lemon

pound cake. Just stir 2⁄3 cup

confectioner’s sugar with 1tablespoon or so lemon juice.

Diane Byrne’s 7-Uppound cake using cakemix

Diane, a Loveland reader,told me: “I got this frommymom several years ago. I’venever made the glaze withoutthe alcohol. I’m not sure whatyou’d substitute.” Any sugges-tions?

1package Duncan Hines LemonSupreme CakeMix

1 4-cup package instant lemonpudding

1⁄2 cup vegetable oil4 eggs1 cup 7-Up

Preheat oven to 350 de-grees. Combine above ingredi-

ents and beat 2 minutes. Pre-pare a Bundt pan (spray well)and pour mixture in. Bake45-55 minutes.

Diana’s glazeDiane didn’t say if she

cooked the glaze, but I wouldassume the sugar has to melt,so I’d cook it over very lowheat until sugar melts. Addbourbon last.1⁄2 stick butter, meltedScant 2⁄3 cup sugar1⁄3 cup bourbon (or whatever, rumis good too)

Stir in bourbon. Prick holesin cake and pour on glaze.

Doris Poore’s 7-Up cakeicing

Doris, a Kentucky reader,had a recipe using a cake mix

and also had an interestingicing. “The index card is allyellowed and stained. So, Iknow it’s a good one,” she said.

2 eggs, beaten1 tablespoon flour1 cup crushed pineapple,undrained

11⁄2 cups sugar1 stick margarine1 cup coconut

Cook all ingredients (exceptcoconut) until thick, add coco-nut and pour over hot cake.Top with pecans.

Parents eagerly anticipatethe moment when their childfirst begins to talk. For someparents, it is a time of anxietybecause their child strugglesto get words out. Asmany as 5percent of preschool childrennationwide have repetitionsand prolongations of soundssevere enough to be of con-cern to their parents.

The DVD in English andSpanish, “Stuttering and YourChild:HelpforParents”,helpsparents detect stuttering andtake action toward helpingtheir child and is available atmost public libraries. Some li-braries have an older videoformat.

Produced by the nonprofit

Stuttering Foundation, thefilm describes what kinds ofstutteringyoungchildrenmayexhibit, how parents can helpat home, and the role of aspeech pathologist in evaluat-ing and treating children whostutter.

“Stuttering typically be-gins between the ages of 2 and5,” says Barry Guitar, profes-sor and chair of Communica-tionSciencesat theUniversityof Vermont in Burlington. “Itmay begin gradually or sud-denly, and many of these chil-dren outgrow their disfluen-cies naturally. However, if achild continues to stutter forseveral months, or appears tobe frustrated by it, parentsshould seek assistance.”

Guitar appears in the DVDwith other nationally recog-nizedexperts instuttering:Pe-

ter Ramig of theUniversity ofColorado at Boulder, DianeHill of Northwestern Univer-sity, Patricia Zebrowski of theUniversity of Iowa, and Kris-tin Chmela, also ofNorthwest-ern University.

These experts addresscommon concerns that par-ents have about their child,suchashowtohelp thechildathome and whether to seek theadviceof a speechpathologist.

Strategies parents can useto help reduce stuttering aregiventhroughout theDVDandinclude reducing the numberofquestions theyask thechild,focusing on taking turns dur-ingconversations,andmakingtime to read or talk with thechild in a relaxed manner.

“Parents are relieved todiscover that they are notalone and that other parents

share their concerns,”Chmelasaid.

“Stuttering remains a mys-tery tomost people,” said JaneFraser, president of the Stut-tering Foundation. “Watchinga young child struggle tospeakcanbedevastating.ThisDVD is designed to reassureparents and families thatmany preschoolers stutter,that they can be helped, andhow parents can play a vitalrole in this process.”

Books and DVDs producedby the 66-year-old nonprofitStuttering Foundation areavailable free to any public li-brary.

J’s Mulch and Landscape Supply is a family business that pridesitself on the finest products, pricing and service.

That’s what J’s has delivered for the past 25 years andcontinues to deliver anywhere in the Cincinnati area seven days a week.

We’ve all experienceit; someone comes toyour front door trying tosell you something. Butis it a good idea to buyfrom a door-to-doorsalesman? One areawoman says after theexperience she’s hadshe’ll never do it again.

Jessica Jones, of But-ler, Ky., says a salesmancame to her door lastFebruary. “We werehome and I got a knockon the door from a gen-tleman. He says he wasselling reflective signsfor your mailbox.”

The company wasselling the signs for $20

apiece and Jonesbought one. Herreceipt says itwas supposed tohave been deliv-ered in March.But now, morethan four monthslater, she stilldidn’t have it.“Needless to sayits still not in-stalled. I’ve called threedifferent times and re-ceived promises of thembeing out to install it –but still no sign,” Jonessays.

Jones does have num-bers on her mailbox, butthey’re not reflective

numbers so theymay not be visibleat night if some-one calls for po-lice, fire or anambulance.

That’s why shesays she reallywanted those re-flective numbersfor her mailbox.

“I’m just aggra-vated. He took $20 fromme that day with apromise of a sign that Inever received. Howmany other people areout there with that samepromise that maybeeven forgot about it?”Jones asks.

A check with the Bet-ter Business Bureaushows the company hasreceived more than adozen complaints, main-ly from people who saythey too never receivedtheir reflective signs.The BBB gives thatcompany an “F” rating.

When I told Jonesabout the Better Busi-ness Bureau report shesaid, “Wow, wow. It justgoes to show don’t everbuy anything from adoor-to-door salesman.”

Such complaints arenot at all uncommon.I’ve received many let-ters from homeowners

who paid for magazinesubscriptions yet neverreceived anything. Inone case a homeownerdid receive the maga-zines but realized toolate she had greatlyoverpaid for the sub-scriptions.

In Jones’ case I con-tacted the reflectivesign company ownerwho said he was busytaking care of custom-ers to whom he hadfailed to deliver thesigns. He says he gotbehind and blamed theweather for the delay.After I called he finallydid get the sign put on

Jones’ mailbox.So, what should you

do if a salesman comesknocking on your door?You could refuse to buy,as Jones has vowed. Or,if you’re interested inthe product, I suggestyou go ahead and placeyour order. But, just aswith Girl Scout cookies,don’t pay until they re-turn with the product.
