Boiman to step downas Green Twp. trustee
GREEN TWP. — TrusteeRocky Boiman is resigningfrom the board of trustees, ef-fective March 1.
Hemade the announcementnear the end of the trusteesmeeting Monday, Jan. 27.
“I felt I could no longer de-vote the time necessary to dothis job properly,” Boimansaid. “I struggled on what Ishould do.Mywife, Kelli, and Iprayed over what would bebest for our family.We came toa decision that I would resignfrom the Green TownshipBoard of Trustees.”
A St. XavierHigh School andUniversity ofNotre Damegraduate, Boi-man was a starfootball playerwho spent eightseasons as a line-backer in the
NFL. He won a Super Bowlwith the Indianapolis Colts in2007.
SinceretiringfromtheNFL,he’s run a football academy foryoungathleteshere in town.Healso runs a distributing compa-ny and does television and ra-dio broadcasting for ESPN andWestwoodOne, and is a fre-
quent guest onsports talk radioshows on ClearChannel’s 700WLW-AM and1530 WCKY-AM.
He’s broad-cast this year’sSuper Bowl forAbsolute Radio
and the BBC.Although he’s always taken
in pride in being able to handlemultiple responsibilities at onetime, he said with the birth ofhis son, Beau, amonth ago, andmore broadcasting opportuni-ties he doesn’t have the time toserve the township.
“I’ve enjoyed being at this
seat. This is not an easy deci-sion,” Boiman said. “I wouldlove to continue the role of be-ing a trustee, but that would bedoing the residents of GreenTownship a disservice.”
He said the residents andtownship employees deserve atrustee who has the time tocommit to the job.
Trustee Chairman Tony Ro-siello commended Boiman forhis service as a trustee. Boi-man was first appointed to theboard in October 2011 to re-place Tracy Winkler, and hewon election to retain the seatthis past November.

Gen. Douglas MacArthurfamously pledged he wouldreturn to the Philippines.
Ret. Marine Major C.J.Daigle never made thatpledge, never intended to re-turn when he left the Pacifictheater in World War II, buthe is going back to the sceneof his baptismby fire: TarawaAtoll, the first of a long andbloody trail across thePacificto Japan.
While death dogged hisfirst trip, this one, in conjunc-tion with the Greatest Gener-ationsFoundation,brings life.
Life in the form of pure,clean water. The trip beingmade by five of the 20 livingsurvivors of the Battle of Ta-rawa brings filters that willprovide clean water andhopefully vanquish the dis-ease that kills children andbabies living there now.
Daigle, 88, who now livesinMonfortHeights, sawmorethan his fair share of death.He servedand fought in threewars: World War II, Koreaand Vietnam. He is lookingforward to returning to Tara-wa, even though the memo-ries of his first landings onthe island are grim.
Last year was the 70th an-niversary of the Battle of Ta-rawa and the project is partlyan anniversary commemora-tion in honor of the Marineswho died there. This battlewas fought from Nov. 20-23,1943, at the Tarawa Atoll intheGilbert Islands, located inwhat is now thenation ofKiri-bati. Itwas the first step onan
itinerary towards Japan. Itwas a desperate battle, re-ferred to as one of the mostbrutal inMarine history, withmany casualties and liveslost. At its end, more than1,100U.S.Marineswere dead.
Daigle said the Japanesehad 3,800 imperial troops onTarawa and the island bris-tled with concrete bunkers,machine gun nests, snipers
and massive cannons alongits beaches. He said the Japa-nese commander, Rear Adm.Keiji Shibazaki, had boastedthat itwould take “onemillionmen100 years” to seize the is-lands.
“It took 20,000 Marines 76hours,” Daigle said. “But itwas hell.”
The retired major doesn’tdwell on the horrors he saw
there,althoughheadmitted inone interview that he hadn’tmade close friends amonghisMarine comrades early in hismilitary career and after thecarnage at Tarawa, he wasglad he had chosen that path.
He looks forward now, tothegoodhe andothers cando.It’s a much smaller invasionwith no armada, no bullets, noshells. TheMarines are againliberating the people of Tara-wa, this time from illness.
The atoll is now home to50,000people, andwhile thereis a hospital and several col-leges, there is also povertyand a shortage of pure drink-ing water.
A 2012 report from the Re-public of Kiribati Island Re-port Series said most house-holds on South Tarawa userain water and groundwater-for drinking, cooking, andcleaning. However, ground-water fetched from wells onmost of South Tarawa is notsuitable for human consump-tion.
Thereport saysall ground-water tested on South Tarawais positive for coliforms, fae-
WWII vet goes back to battle scene
Ret. Marine Major C.J. Daigle is preparing for a trip to the TarawaAtoll 70 years after a fierce battle waged by the Second MarinesDivision eliminated Japanese installations there. He is returningwith a contingent of five survivors of the battle to bring the gift ofclean drinking water to the families who now live there with theGreatest Generations Foundation.

Young La Salle team makeswaves in the wrestling world
MONFORT HEIGHTS — Seeingyour hardwork and vision cometo fruition can be very reward-ing.
While the fruit isn’t quite ripeenough for La Salle High Schoolwrestling coach Avery Zerkle,it’s off to a blossoming start.
When Zerkle took over theprogram six years ago afterleading his almamater, GrahamHigh School in St. Paris, Ohio, tofive straight Division I state ti-tles, he asked the La Salle ad-ministration for a 10-year win-dow to re-establish a programthat hasn’t won aGreater Catho-lic League, sectional or districttitle since the 1970s.
After getting what he askedfor and establishing a feedersystem that involves gradeschool and middle school wres-tling programs, the Lancers areshining behind a strong fresh-men class, all of whom camethrough Zerkle’s system.
“It isrewarding,”Zerklesaid,who was a two-time state placerandastatechampionatGraham,along with being a two-timeNCAA Division I national quali-fierwhileatLockHavenUniver-sity. “We keep saying, nomatterhow the season goes, we’vecome a long way and with thisbeing year No. 6, we’ve madesome big, big progress in theprogram, but we still have biggoals. Our work is not done.”
The Lancers boast five wres-tlers with 20 or more wins, in-cluding three guys with 30-plusvictories, led by freshman Co-reyShiewith a 36-1recordat120pounds. His lone loss came toAustin Assad of Brecksville-Broadview Heights HighSchool, who according to Zerkleis rankedNo.1 in the state at120pounds.
“He’s had an unbelievableseason,” Zerkle said. “He’s beatnumerous state placers, not justbeat some, but pinned some.He’s just got it. He’s very coach-able, he listens and he’s one of
thehardestworkersontheteam.There’s no question in my mindthat he’s got a shot at winningstate this year.”
Freshman Eric Beck has arecord of 31-10 at113 pounds andjunior JohnShirkey is 33-9. Shir-key is a transfer fromKentucky
and didn’t have the easiest tran-sition to Ohio mats early in theseason.
“…He definitely got his eyesopened to Ohio wrestling andhe’d just never been pushed tohis full potential,” Zerkle said.“He maybe had three or four
tough matches as a freshmenand sophomore and coming uphere he had three or four toughmatches in oneweekend, so himbeing at a high level everymatch, everyweekendwas kindof a challenge starting out.”
“I think he lostmorematchesthis season than he has sincesixthgrade, so itwaseitherdoordieforhim. I thinkhesteppedupand he’s come around.”
There’s no doubt in Zerkle’smind the successhas opened theeyes of the public, but the coachknows how quickly that successcan be used as fuel against you.
“I think early in the seasonwhenwe (beat) teams like Syca-more and St. Xavier and thingswent right for us there peoplecame out of the gym and said‘wow, La Salle is young (and) Ididn’t think they’d be thatgood,’” Zerkle said. “But I waskind of expecting that and nowthe eyes are open; some of theseguys have targets on their backand everybody wants to beatthem. That’s part of the fun.”

WESTWOOD — Seeking re-demption can sometimes be theultimate fuel.
After going 8-11 as a sopho-more in his first year wrestling,Western Hills University HighSchool’sJoshBatchelorexcelledas a junior going 20-5 and lookedprimedforadeeprun inboth theCincinnati Metro Athletic Con-ference leaguemeetandthesec-tional tournament.
That all came crashing downdue to a knee injury that endedhis junior season prematurely.
Batchelormade sure to comeback stronger for his senior sea-son and all his hard work is pay-ingoff.He’s currently19-3 (as ofJan. 30) and took home firstplace in the 220-pound divisionat the George Williams Invita-tional, the Norwood Invitationaland most recently at the Syca-more Invitational Jan. 18.
Facing Sycamore’s JermonCobbs, a physically imposing in-dividual, in the finals Jan. 18,coach Ryan Williams noticedBatchelor was nervous before
the match. He told his senior towrestle his match, be patientand he would be alright. Lessthan four minutes later Batche-lor was leading 9-2 and eventu-ally pinned Cobbs to win hisweight class. It’s a victory Wil-liams says could light the fireBatchelor needs to make a deeppostseason run.
“I think (that)may have beenthe match to turn the corner,”Williams said, who is the son oflong-time former West Highwrestling coach George Wil-liams. “When you’re extremelyscared or intimidated and youstill step on the mat and dom-inate, that should show you thatyou’re nearly ready or areready.”
Batchelor has a sniff of post-season success under his belt.As an unseeded sophomore, heworked his way to a sixth-placefinish at the Division I Lebanonsectional. Those skills thatworked for him two years agoare the same refined skills hehopes can lead to success overthe final weeks of his wrestlingcareer.
“With my speed, I’m usually
faster than most of the people Iwrestle and along with mystrength, that helps,” Batchelorsaid. “Technique-wise, Icouldbea little better, butmy strength isdefinitely my raw power andspeed.”
You may not find Batchelor’sname at the top of the 220-poundhonor roll, but don’t let that con-fuse youwith where hewants tobe by the end of the season.
“Of course I want to beranked No. 1 in the state,” hesaid, adding he can do that justbeing himself. “… I can’t adjustmy wrestling style to (my oppo-nent); I can only do what I knowhow to do and in the end, just dowhat I canand try tobeat them.”
A deep run at sectionals, atrip to the district meet or a tripto state would mean Batchelor’snamewould ride on thewalls in-side the West High wrestlingroomfordecades tocome. It’sanhonor he’s looking forward tohaving and would provide himthe ultimate redemption aftermissing the postseason in 2013.
“It would feel nice to knowthat I got up there,” Batchelorsaid.

West High’s Batchelor in searchof postseason redemptionBy Tom [email protected]
GREEN TWP. — Joe Campo-longo iswatchinghisyoungtal-entmature right in front of hiseyes.
The Oak Hills High Schoolwrestling coach guided histeamtoasecond-placefinishatthe Milford Invitational and athird-place finish at the Syca-more Invitational this seasonwith freshmen or sophomoresoccupying 12 of the 14 startingpositions.
“(The season’s gone) muchbetter thananticipated,mainlybecause of howyoungwe are,”Campolongosaid,who isa2003graduateofOakHills. “…Theystill have freshmen moments,but they’ve definitelymaturedthrough the season. We startfive freshmen and youwouldn’t know it talking withthem.”
The third-year coach has acluster of Dylans who are allreaching new heights this sea-son. Sophomore’s Dylan RothandDylanBuisareacombined54-21 with 19 pins this season132and126pounds, respective-ly. FreshmanDylanUrk is 21-7with 15 pins at 106 pounds andwas Campolongo’s lone cham-pion that this season’s CoachesClassic. The trio came upthrough the grade school andmiddle school program togeth-er and is now experiencingsuccess at thehigh school leveltogether.
“I joked with our middleschool parents and said if youwant a starting spot here youhave to go through a namechange right now,” the coachsaid,whosaid theyshouldhavea fourthDylanon the team, buthedidn’tstickwiththesportaf-ter his freshman season. “…All three of themhave been to-gether for years and I think alot (of their success) attributesto their willingness to travel toall the different tournaments.”
Success is nothing new forthe trio. All three reached theGreater Miami Conference fi-nals in middle school with Urkwinning aGMC title, while twoof the three were state qualifi-ers in middle school.
The biggest surprise of theseasoncomesfromseniorAlexDupps. After coming out lastseasonandnotbeingable tocutweight to wrestle as a heavy-weight, the football playerwhorecently signed with UrbanaUniversity is 24-5 on the sea-son. His 20 pins leave him sixshy of the school record.
“He looks great,” Campo-longo said. “I keep telling him,and I thinkhe’s starting to real-ize, that him just walking outon the mat with the way helooks, he already wins match-es. Kids don’t want to wrestlesomebody who is 6-5 and cutsweight toget to 287.He’s reallymade a 180 from the AlexDupps other people know him

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS— Northern KentuckyUniversity’s women’sbasketball team finished2013 on a sour note - afour-game losing streak,fallingto4-7.Theextend-ed holiday break provedto be just the relief theNorse needed. TheNorse are now10-9 over-all and6-2 inAtlanticSunConferenceplayheadinginto critical conferencematchups with Stetsonand Florida Gulf Coast.
“Since the Christmasbreak, thekidshavebeenplaying hungry,” saidhead coach Dawn Plitzu-weit. “This week is agreat opportunity for usto learn and get better.”
After winning theirfirst two games of theseason, both at home, ittook the Norse nearlytwo months to earn theirnext home victory. NKUwentwinless at homebe-tween Nov. 13 and Jan. 9.That motivated the play-ers to refocus and put ona show in their big homegames to open 2014.
“We feel like it is ourtime to come back andwin in front of our homecrowd,” said KaylaThacker. “We’ve noticedmore support with thesuccess we’re having.”
In their secondseasonas a Division I team, theNorse entered the yearwithabetter ideaofwhatto expect, especiallywithin their conference.Not that NKU struggledin its inaugural A-Sunseason - theNorseposteda 12-6 conference marklast season en route to a15-13 overall record, theprogram’s 30th straightwinning season. After afull offseason to adapt tothe strengths and weak-nesses of their confer-
ence foes, 31 straight iswell within reach.
The Norse pridethemselves on defense,and have allowed justthree opponents to crackthe 70-point barrier thisseason. With just threeupperclassmen and onlyone senior on the roster,it takes a team efforteach night. Differentscorers are stepping up,and playing solid teamdefense has helped theNorse as the underclass-men continue to adapt tothis level of play.
“Our three upper-classmen have done agood job of embracingthe younger girls andbringing them along,”said Plitzuweit. “Theyounger girls want toplay well for their team-mates.”
Thacker is the lonesenior on the roster. “Ifeel like I have more re-sponsibility as a leaderthis year. Knowing that Ihad that year of DivisionI experience under mybelt helped,” Thackersaid. “Our five freshmenhave really stepped upand helped us.”

The biggest holes liebetween the 138- and 182-pound weight classes.With three freshmen andtwo sophomores occupy-ing those positions, Cam-polongo is preparing themfor the future by exposingthem to the fire early intheir careers.
“A lot of coaches may
have the wrestling at thefreshmen level or on (ju-nior varsity), but our en-tire coaching staff has asink-or-swim mentality,”the coach said. “We’re go-ing to throw them outthereandmakethemmen-tally tough right away and

“The biggest thing isconditioning.…Ourcondi-tioning is very good, soweneedtomakesurewekeeponthatbecause inthepost-season that’s how you winmatches.”

The value of acommunity association
The Cheviot WestwoodCommunity Association hasbeen in existence since 1925.Prior to 2001itwas theCheviotWestwood Business Associa-tion. The goal of this organiza-tion has always been to fostera sense of community wherewe live.
Prior to shopping malls,business districts were wherepeoplewent for their shoppingneeds. The Harrison Avenuecorridor, from Montanathrough the city of Cheviot,was an active shopping desti-nation. Shopping habits tookpatrons fromoneendofHarri-son to theother,withnoregardthat it was actually two sepa-rate government jurisdictions(Cincinnati and Cheviot).
Area business owners hadthe awareness that a cohesivebusinessdistrictwasmutuallybeneficial. The local Kiwanisorganization (organizers ofthe Harvest Home Fair) hadthe same awareness. That’swhy the name “Cheviot-West-wood” is prevalent in ourarea’s community organiza-tions.
Through the years, theeconomy, changing shoppinghabits and societal changestook its toll on many shoppingdistricts like ours. Things areturning around. Communityspirit is alive and well in theCheviot-Westwood area.
TheCWCA’sWestfest is thecatalyst for funneling fundsback to the community. Someof Westfest’s recent proceedsinclude: food baskets duringthe holiday season for 50needy families from Cheviotand Westwood schools;$1,000.00donation to theChev-iot Fire department (throughthe Cheviot Cultural Arts Fes-tival); a new bucket truck forCheviot; and a $10,0000.00pledge to Madcap Produc-tions. We’re thrilled about theimpact Madcap will have onour community.
The CWCA is not bound bygovernment lines. We tend tofocus on what’s good for thewhole of the community. Welookforward torenewed inter-est and involvement the Chev-iot-Westwood business andresidential community.

LETETRS TO THEEDITOR
My son’s email was shortand simple: “Still looksgood!”
The attached Realtor’slink, listing 525 HawthorneAve., did the talking. Thepictures confirmed that afteralmost 25 years the Victorian,“Painted Lady” still looksgood. To reminisce I calledmy nephew John Wall; mythen partner in Incline Prop-erties, who managed 525’sPhoenix-like restoration.
“525” was Price Hill’sproblem child; unwanted,neglected, and abandoned.Vandals had physicallyabused her – repeatedly. Shewas so disfigured that only amother, and raccoons seekingshelter, could love her.
The frustrated next-doorneighbor tried not to look ather. In fact he wanted hergone. The University of Cin-cinnati language arts profes-sor knew the power of fear.He knew how to work acrowd. Speaking eloquentlyhe took his case to the Presssaying, “This house detractsfrom a Price Hill neighbor-hood that some are trying to
improve. Itcould cause adomino ef-fect.” Seem-ingly, he andhis neighborswere vigi-lantly chant-ing, “Off withher head!”
John and Ihad a better
idea. If improving the neigh-borhood was the goal, whynot simply fix the house?Better yet, make it a dominoeffect showplace!
So, with some real estatetrickery, John turned the oldgirl’s death notice, in theform of a city demolitionorder, into a new lease on life.To the dismay of our newneighbors, and our families,we became the proud ownersof 525 Hawthorne! Under-standably, our “What do wedo now?” look did not encour-age them. We were not skilledcraftsmen. Our lunch box,complete with a coffee ther-mos, doubled as our toolbox.
Fortunately, a parade oflocal grunt men rescued us.
With equal determination,and on the job training, webecame artisans.
We had a bigger problem.The loud and clear word onthe street was, “Nobody in hisor her right mind wants tomove to, or invest in “PriceHill!” Again, in our minds, itwas an easy fix. We simplychanged the name of theneighborhood. We defined itsboundaries and called it theIncline District; a historicalreference that endeared itsresidents. Today the InclineDistrict is recognized by thecity, and is the focus of con-siderable investment.
Our mission was to changethe neighborhood. For sure,the neighborhood changed us– for the better. “Back in theday” stories make a cold beertaste better, and a “Still looksgood!” email makes a fatherfeel proud.
More importantly, a nearlyaborted problem child wasgiven a chance at life. In turn,to those who believed in her,she became the matriarch ofthe Incline District; a symbolthat the west side is worth
caring about.

As a Hamilton County Do-mestic Relations judge, I de-cide custody of children indivorce cases. The standard ofdecision is “the best interest ofthe child.”
Until recently, the onlyprocess for deciding contestedcustody issues was to order alengthy parenting report fromthe Court’s Parenting ServicesDepartment. This investiga-tion routinely took two tothree months to complete andrequired the parties’ childrento be interviewed. If the di-vorcing parents did not agreewith the recommendations, acustody trial was necessary.An unintended consequence ofthis process was to increasethe animosity between theparties.
Under the leadership ofAdministrative Judge SusanTolbert, in 2011, the Courtbegan to require cases withdisputed parenting issues tomeet with the judge assignedto their case soon after it wasfiled.
I use thismeeting todescribe theoptions fordeciding cus-tody issuesand suggestthat the bestoption for theparties is tomake thesedecisions to-gether.
As the mother of four chil-dren myself, I tell the litigantsthat I would much prefer tomake decisions about my chil-dren, and not give up this re-sponsibility to an elected offi-cial. I stress the importance ofmaintaining the children’scontinuing relationship witheach parent as necessary fortheir healthy development.
These conferences alsogive me an opportunity tostart the process of resolvingother issues in the case byordering a settlement confer-ence, setting deadlines orrequiring appraisals of proper-
ty in dispute, for example.As a result of this early
judicial intervention, familieshave been able to complete theoften wrenching process ofdivorce in a manner that isless destructive to the ongoingrelationship between the par-ties and their children.
In addition, late this year,the Court initiated a pilot pro-ject called Early Neutral Eval-uation (known affectionatelyas “ENE”). This alternativedispute resolution process isalso implemented early in thedivorce process. Divorcingparties come with their at-torneys to a session before ateam of neutral evaluators tostate their position on howthey believe parenting shouldbe arranged post-divorce.After input from their attor-neys, the evaluators, who arean experienced magistratesand social workers, advise theparties how they believe theircustody issues will likely bedecided by the assigned judge
The benefit of this process
is that it allows the parties tostate their concerns, givingthem and their attorneys abetter appreciation of theother parent’s views. Again,this process presents anotheropportunity for the parties tosettle the parenting issues inthe divorce without a conten-tious custody trial.
Early Neutral Evaluationhas enjoyed a 60 percent suc-cess rate in Marion County,Ohio. While the process is newto Hamilton County, it is al-ready showing signs to beingvery helpful to divorcing par-ents making difficult decisionsin the best interest of theirchildren.
I am hopeful that as thefirst urban county in Ohio toimplement ENE, we will enjoysimilar success and help thechildren and families of Ham-ilton County.

Jan. 29 questionPresident Obama has said ad-
dressing income inequality willbe the focal point of his agendafor the rest of his term.What canbe done to address income in-equality?
“I have concerns about Oba-ma trying to solve any incomeinequalities. His approach sofar seems to be more govern-ment entitlements.Hehas nev-er had a real private sector job,nor has he run a company. Un-less he is creating more jobsthan Iworry about hismethodsor success.
“His Robin Hood methods(take from the rich and give tothe poor) have not worked.
Bringing back jobs from overseas might be a good place tostart along with immigration
reform. That is 10-20 millionjob opportunities to start.
“Per Steve Chabot, ‘sinceLBJ’swaronpoverty started in1964, 50 years ago the govern-ment has spent $20.7 trilliondollars on poverty in the U.S .’
“Myguess is a large amountof that money was spent forgovernment bureaucracy andmore government employees.Obama may soon replace Jim-my Carter as the presidentwith the lowestpublicapprovalrating. Go figure!”
T.D.T.
“President Obama and hisliberal base bemoan the ‘in-come inequality’ in this coun-try, but their hands are tied to
one large group that will keepthat from happening. Unions.
“Specifically the teachersunions across this country.Education isparamount toclos-ing the incomegap in this coun-try. More educated a studentbecomes, themore income thatstudent will achieve. Schoolvouchers are fought by theunions all over this country be-cause they are a threat to thestatus quo.
“Break the cycle of ineffi-cient/ineffective schools, re-move layers upon layers ofoverpaid do-nothing adminis-trators and maybe theirs hope.But that would take change.Hmmmm, hope and change?”

their Valentines. Timeschange, but the mes-sage is the same. Any-body can be your Valen-tine, so remember thosefolks who have lent ahelping hand, or whomay just need cheeringup. Send them a funnykid’s card with a noteand, if you can, shareone of these recipeswith them. Chocolaterules!
Cappuccinomochapudding cake akaUpside down hotfudge pudding cake
If you’re making thisfor kids or someonewho doesn’t like coffeeflavor, leave out espres-so. The fun thing aboutthis is you learn a bit offood chemistry: the hotfudge sauce is pouredover the top of the cakebatter, and as the cakebakes, the sauce turnsto pudding and sinks tothe bottom while thecake batter rises to thetop!
Cake:
2 cups flour1⁄3 cup plus 1 tablespooncocoa powder
2 teaspoons instantespresso coffee powder
1 tablespoon baking powder11⁄2 cups sugar1 cup chopped toastedwalnuts or other nuts(optional)

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Spray 9-inch
by 13-inch pan. Whiskflour, cocoa, espressopowder, baking powderand sugar together. Inseparate bowl, whiskmilk, butter and vanilla.Add this to dry ingredi-ents and blend. Pourinto 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 co-coa. Pour water overand whisk. Pour ever sogently and evenly overbatter. Pudding willlook quite thin but getsreal thick as it bakes.Bake 30-35 minutes oruntil center is set andjust firm to touch. Don’tover bake or you won’tget much pudding!

Tips from readers’kitchens
Tortellini soup up-date. Sandy, a loyalreader, made the tortel-lini soup with spinach
and used a 19 oz. bag oftortellini and found itwas way too much forthe quart of broth. Shedecided to add morebroth, which worked.Sandy asked me tospecify how much tor-tellini to put in. I wouldsay start with 2 cupstortellini and go fromthere.
John Pancoast’s egg-plant casserole. MaryLou K. made thishealthier by substitut-ing whole wheat crack-ers for the topping andlow-fat yogurt for the
whipping cream. “Itwas very delicious andwould make a greatmain dish, though wehad it with trout andconsidered it our vege-table and starch,” shesaid.

A grant from the Na-tional Endowment for theHumanities is creatingunique opportunities forthe community to learnabout civil rights strug-gles during a series ofpresentations at the Col-lege of Mount St. Joseph.
The NEH, in partner-ship with the Gilder Lehr-man Institute of Ameri-can History, created theinitiative “Created Equal:America’s Civil RightsStruggle,” which intro-duces a series of docu-mentaries showing newfootage illustrating thehistory of civil rights inAmerica. The Mount isone of the institutionsaround the country select-ed to receive the films,“TheAbolitionists,” “Slav-ery by Another Name,”“The Loving Story” and“Freedom Riders.” Thesefour films form the basisfor discussions of issuesrelating to civil rights.
On Tuesday, Feb. 11,Chris Miller, manager ofprogram initiatives at theNational UndergroundRailroad FreedomCenter,will show portions of thefilms, “The Abolitionists”and “Slavery by AnotherName” and moderate adiscussion based on the is-sues they raise.

lan Win-kler, pro-fessor ofhistory atMiami Uni-versity,will speakon the top-ic, “Free-dom Sum-
mer and the Civil RightsMovement.” They willshow clips of the film,“Freedom Riders.” Mo-meyer was a FreedomRider in the1960s andwilldiscuss his experience inthe movement. Local folk
