bels such as “Excellent” or “Ef-fective.”

Schools and districts weregraded on nine measures: stan-dards met; performance index;overall value-added, whichmeasures whether students ingrades 4-8 exceeded, met orlearned belowwhat was expect-ed in reading and math; giftedstudent value-added; lowest 20

GREEN TWP. — Area motherswith small children may havealready enjoyed watching theirlittle ones take advantage of thenewupgrades atVeteransPark.

The township began a$150,000 project to renovate thepark in July, andmost of the im-provements are now finished.

“Veterans Park is by far ourmost used park and one a lot ofour residents enjoy,” GreenTownship Trustee ChairmanRocky Boiman said.

“We think this is a great pro-ject. It’s a modest investmentfor what we’re getting in termsof improvement.”

Aside from the addition oftheVeterans Tribute Tower anda fourth handball court, thissummer’s renovation has beenthebiggest change to takeplaceat the Harrison Avenue parksince it first opened in the early1990s.

Green Township Public Ser-

vices Director Joe Lambingsaid the improvements includethe installation of a new totplayground for young children,new swing sets with a rubber-ized safety surface, new half-court basketball courts and anadditional picnic area with ta-bles.

The new tot playground wasbuilt where the old basketballcourts were located. The newplay area, which is fenced in tokeep small children from wan-deringaway, alsohasasaferub-berized surface, as well asshade sails to keep the area coolfor children in the hot weather.

“We thought it was impor-tant to include those types ofsafety features,” Boiman said.

Removing the old play-groundcreatesspacefor thead-ditional picnic area, he said.

“It will really open up thepark,” he said. “I think it’s goingto make a big difference.”

The township used tax incre-ment financing funds to pay forthe upgrades.

CLEVES — The Cincin-nati Bengals havepitched in to help build anew football field at theThree Rivers Education-al Campus.

Together with the Na-tional Football Leagueand the Local InitiativesSupport Corp., the Ben-gals provided a $200,000grant to the school dis-trict’s Fields of Dreamscampaign.

Three Rivers stu-dents, parents and staffjoined Bengals execu-tivesandplayersduringaceremony prior to TaylorHigh School’s footballgame Aug. 30 to an-nounce the donation.

Three Rivers Superin-tendent Rhonda Bohan-nonsaiditwasagreatdayfor the district.

“We would like tothank the NFL, the Ben-gals and LISC for thisgrant. With the help ofthisNFLgrant andFieldsof Dreams donations, ourcommunity can build a

world-class stadium atthe Three Rivers Educa-tional Campus,” she said.

District spokeswomanKate Fenton said theFields of Dreams cam-paign is a fundraising ef-fort that was started bydistrict administration,staff, booster organiza-tions and communityleaders to privately raisemoney to build athleticfacilities at the district’snew school on CooperRoad.

The athletics masterplan includes a footballstadium with syntheticturf, lights, a track, con-cession stands, lockerrooms and restrooms.The plan also calls for aseparate baseball stadi-um, softball stadium andpractice fields. A soccerfield has already beenbuilt with money raisedby the campaign.

A volunteer group ofparents, residents anddistrict staff run thecam-paign andmeet regularlyto develop fundraisingideas. Fenton said thecampaign has raised

$360,000 toward the costof the synthetic footballfield, and thanks to the$200,000 grant from theBengals they expect fieldconstruction to start inspring 2014.

“The new field will al-low expanded usage forall school andcommunityyouth football teams, forall school soccer teamsand also allow the highschool band more prac-tice time on the competi-tion field,” she said.

“Additionally, theschoolwillusethefieldaspartof itsphysicaleduca-tion curriculum.”

Katie Blackburn, ex-ecutive vice president ofthe Cincinnati Bengals,said theBengals are veryexcited to play a role inthe district’s project.

“Several years agoThreeRivers schools em-barked on a bold visionand, together with theFields of Dreams cam-paign, they have broughtto this community some-thingspecial,”Blackburnsaid.

MONFORT HEIGHTS — DerekKief owes his stepfather a gi-gantic thank you.

After spending years as arunning back, the La Salle sen-ior wide receiver said fiveyears ago hewasn’t surewheth-er he wanted to continue hisfootball career.

As of Sept. 7, he was just 125yards away from becoming theLancers’ all-time leading re-ceiver and is committed to theUniversity of Alabama, a teamthat has won back-to-back na-tional championships.

“My stepdad told me I hadgreat potential at receiver,”Kiefsaid. “I justdecidedtoplay.… My first game (at La Salle) Iwent out there and had a 130-yard game with two touch-downs and said, ‘I probablyhave a chance at doing this.’ I’mstill thanking (my stepdad) tothis day.”

A lot of his motivation camefrom the man he is chasing forthe receiving yards record,

Matt Woeste. The former Lanc-er set the record of 1,710 yardsin 2010 when Kief was just afreshman.

“It would show that all myhard work came to good use,”the senior said of breakingWoeste’s record. “It’s really anhonor to pass such a great play-er. I lookedup tohimwhenIwasjust a freshman and I remem-berwhenhebroke the record. Itwould be a great accomplish-ment.”

First-year La Salle coachNate Moore saw his wide re-ceiver’s talent right away.

“He’s special,” the coachsaid. “It doesn’t take long to fig-ure that out.WhatmakesDerekspecial is the athletic ability hehas and the skill set he has to gowith his 6-foot-5 frame.”

Despite being other team’smain target on defense anddealing with the hoopla thatgoes with going to a prominentDivisionIcollege,Kief isdrivenby the fact that he knows he canbe better.

“I just make sure to focus onthe little things because nomat-

terhowgoodyouare,youcanal-ways get better,” he said. “Younever knowwhen you are goingto play competition as good orbetter than you.”

As his high school careerwinds to a close and Kief pre-pares toopenanotherchapter inhis life with the Crimson Tide,the senior is ready to take the

leap to the next level but not be-foreheenjoysone final rideasaLancer.

“I’m really excited,” Kiefsaid ofAlabama. “I’m just goingto try and enjoy my senior yearbecause high school went fast.Everyone said it would go fastand I kind of looked over it, butnow that it’s here it seems likethe time is going really fast.”

PRICE HILL — BenjaminFranklin once said, “to suc-ceed, jumpasquicklyatoppor-tunities as you do at conclu-sions.”

When opportunity present-ed itself in 2012 for Elder run-ning back Chris Schroer, hejumped at it like nobody else.

After twoquarterbackswent down to in-jury and Elder’sNo. 1 runningback took overunder center,Schroer tookover as the Pan-thers’ top back.All he did was

carry the ball 30 times formore than 140 yards in a 17-13win over eventual state cham-pionMoeller.

The position was his forgood, helping thePantherswinfive of their final six gamesand chalking up more than1,000 yards in those games.

“That line was really good.… I got an opportunity to playand show what I can do,”Schroer said of his success in2012.

What may be most impres-sive ishowmanytimesthesen-ior carried the ball over the fi-nal six games. He averaged31.5 carries per game, includ-ing an astounding 45 in a winover Highlands.

It has been more of thesame in2013asSchroer luggedthe ball 34 times for 182 yardsandascore inaseason-openingwin overMiddletown Aug. 29.

“… Sometimes there’sbumps and bruises, but sur-prisingly when I carried it 45times against Highlands, itwasn’t that sore,” the seniorsaid of his body. “It just de-pends on where you get hit.”

PRICE HILL — Findingthe back of the net hasnever been a problem forSeton soccer player Jes-sica Frey.

The senior had 18goals through her firstthree years with the var-sity squad and alreadyhas eight in 2013 for the4-2 Saints.

have to do it for them.”Frey loves scoring

goals, but team is what ismost important to thefor-wardandshebelieves the2013 Saints have a chanceto be the best the schoolhas seen in quite sometime.

“I wouldn’t be able todo it without them,” shesaid. “I think we are allconnecting really goodthis year, working as ateam and I think that isreally helping out. I thinkwe could be really goodthis year.”

In Quinn’s system,Frey is on an island a lotof the time and otherteams know who she is

and what she is all about.That still hasn’t stoppedher from scoring goals.

“Against Ursulinethey had three peoplemugging her and she stillknocked one in, so shedoesn’t let that affecther,” Quinn said. “I thinkshe looks forward to it.”

The man known as“Sizzle” to his teammates(an eighth-grade nick-name that has stuck withhim) is mentioned in thesame breathe with for-mer Elder greats Brad-ley Glatthaar and KyleKoester, but coach DougRamseybelieves “Sizzle”has the chance to be thebest.

“He’s a leader,” thecoach said. “You watchhim practice and thewayhe works and everythinghedoes,he tries tobeper-fect. … It’s great whenyour better players arethat way, your captainsare that way (because) itmakes all the other guyswant to be that way aswell.”

His tough runningstyle came to fruition intheeighthgradewhenhisuncle told him “see onehole, make one cut andgo.’” Ramsey sees thosewords of wisdom beingput to use against everyopponent.

“He has a great base,lower body strength andjust the desire,” Ramseysaid. “He’s faster thanpeople give him creditfor and when you put allthose things together yougot a really good runner.”

WhileSchroer jumpedat his opportunity, Ram-sey alreadyhas come to aconclusion about his sen-ior running back.

“He’s just a specialplayer. He’s talented kid,but he’s really smart. Heunderstands how to run,where to run, (has) pa-tience and he’s reallytough.”

ElderContinued from Page A7

Who is ChrisSchroer off thefield?“I like being a part ofElder,” he said. “I’m actu-ally the president of stu-dent council. Just hangingout and I’m a big footballfan. I watch a lot of foot-ball with my brother. (We)watch a lot of NotreDame.”

Schroer onscoring a 35 onthe ACT:“Mymom is pretty toughsometimes but I needed it.We all need it sometimes. Iactually didn’t want to takeit the third time and shewas asking me to and thenI heard somebody got a 34and I had a 33, so I wantedto try to beat them so Idecided to take it again.”

“Last year that wholerun, we were all sopumped about it,” shesaid. “… We didn’t reallystart (last season) off thatway, so I think the differ-ence this year is themen-tality we brought to thepostseason, we broughtto our first game (thisyear) and we keep carry-ing it on.”

Memorial needs to beraised

Thefrontpagearticle (Sept.4), “GreenTwphonors9/11withmemorial” was informativeand well written. The pictureof the memorial itself raisesthe question...” Why so low totheground?”Itmaybejustme,but it seems that childrenwould tend to climb on it risk-ing injury. Vandals could dese-crate it with sprayed graffiti.

I’m sure it is intended forpeople to “touch it” out of re-spect, but a piece of steel im-beded in the support columnwould suffice.The main piececould be at say eight feet, andout of childrens reach and noteasy access to vandals. I thinkthe designers missed the boaton this one.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The Cincinnati Fire Depart-ment has fought many bigfires in its early history. Nonewere as large as the one thatoccurred on Dec. 21, 1910.

It burned two city blocksbetween Ninth and SycamoreStreet in the old factory dis-trict. It was called the ShoeFactory fire because it startedin a shoe factory. The factorydistrict had antiquated build-ings in an older part of the cityat the dead end of the canalwhere buildings were made ofwood and cramped together onnarrow streets.

In the wee hours of themorning the week beforeChristmas flames burst out inthe Krippendorf O'Neil (K&O)Shoe Factory. The alarm wentout about 2 a. m. Flames start-ed in the engine room, andquickly spread to the elevatorshaft. Chemicals used in shoemanufacturing fueled the fireand soon the whole buildingwas engulfed. It was a coldwindy night and the flamesquickly ignited the buildingson the other side of the alley.

Cincinnati’s large meatpacking companies suppliedproducts for the large shoesmanufacturing and tanningbusiness in the area. Thebuilding were full of varnish-

es, paper prod-ucts and driedlumber, whichadded fuel tothe fire.

The firemoved downthe streetburning theTwinlockLeather Co.,Sycamore

Street Stables, Victor Safe andLock Co., B.O. Duncan BoxFactory, A Joseph Nurre Co.picture frames, and the Leath-er Factory next to the firestation. The CincinnatiMorgue, Hamilton County Jail,Payne Motors Co. and the DowWarehouse was in the path ofthe fire, but never burned.

The entire fire departmentfought the blaze, but old pipescontained low water pressure.The hoses were worn out andthe weather was very coldforming ice everywhere. Thefire was fueled by old wood,varnish and paper stored thatwas used in manufacturingand the old building were tin-derboxes. The fire burned outof control for nine days andhad to put itself out. Largecrowds formed all around towatch the inferno.

When it was finally over a

two block area of businesseswere destroyed. Damage esti-mates were $2 million. Thehotel across the street hadblistering paint and brokenwindows in scorched frames.Twelve people were injuredand four died. Three firemendied when a wall fell on themand a telephone pole heavywith ice fell and on a passerby.Fifteen-hundred people wereout of jobs at Christmas.

Krippendorf O'Neil (K&O)founded in 1904 was the larg-est shoe factory in the area itsloses of stock, machinery, andthe building was so great thatthe company never recovered.

The city felt the area wasan eyesore on the edge of thecanal and a health hazard andwas happy to be rid of thearea. They purchased the landand it became the entrance ofthe Gilbert Avenue viaduct.

After several large firesthe city established newermunicipal fire codes. Eleva-tors and stairs had to be en-closed, fire hoses checkedregularly and iron and steelgutters were never left to beexposed.

SteveChabot’s column in the Sept. 4Western Hills Press, I hesitateto bring this up because thechronic complainer will onlymention additional com-plaints, dissatisfactions andmisfortunes that we haven’theard about in hopes that hemight be able to persuade uson how terrible our lives areunder a Democrat.

Criticizing and only men-tioning the bad seems to bethe Republican way – to quotewhat Senate Minority LeaderMitchMcConnell said in 2010,“the single most importantthing we want to achieve isfor President Obama to be aone-term president.” Yes, heactually said the single mostimportant thing Republicanswant to achieve, not jobs, notthe economy not a livingwage but making the presi-dent a one-term president.

Objectively speaking,Obama has accomplishedmore in the face of viciousbitter partisan oppositionthan any post-war president.The only thing Republicanshave done in response is sayno, blather endlessly trying toscare people about birtherpanels and avoid the success-es of the President.

when i think of the presi-dent’s five major accomplish-ments, I shudder to think howgreat the country would behad theMcConnell Repub-lican saboteurs acted in thebest interest of all Americans.

1, After five presidents,over a century, failed to cre-ate universal health insur-ance, the president signed theAffordable Care Act in 2010.It’s a law and the Republican-controlled Supremes upheldit.

2, The president success-

fully managedthe $787 bil-lion StimulusAct thatspurred eco-nomic growthamid greatestrecessionsince theGreat Depres-sion.

3, He tack-ledWall Street Reformwiththe signing of the Dodd-FrankWall Street Reform and Con-sumer Protection Act in 2010to re-regulate the financialsector after its practicescaused the Great Recession.

4, Obama turned aroundthe struggling U.S. auto in-dustry in 2009 with an in-jection of $62 billion intoailing GM and Chrysler inreturn for equity stakes andagreements for massive re-structuring. The auto indus-try has since addedmore than100,000 jobs and the BigThree automakers all gainedmarket share for the firsttime in two decades.

5- Obama ended the war inIraq, ordering all U.S. mil-itary forces out of the countryand the last troops left onDec. 18, 2011. He’s also begunthe drawdown of the war inAfghanistan.

Anthony J. D’Angelo oncesaid, “If you have time towhine and complain aboutsomething then you have thetime to do something aboutit.”

I’m still waiting for ourcareer politician to live up tohis campaign slogan that hehad printed on his 2011 yardsigns: Jobs Jobs Jobs.

Chabot complaintsnothing more than noise

Paul ashworthCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Sept. 4 questionDo you think the U.S. is safer

now that it was 12 years ago, be-fore the Sept.11attacks?Whatdoyou most remember about thatday?

“No, I don't thinkwe're safer.“We have a president who is

much more interested in hispersonal popularity and vaca-tions than taking care of ourcountry. To be fair about it, Idon't think he's capable of thejobanddoesn'thavethesense toappoint people who are.

“I pray that we get throughthe next three yearswithout an-other 9-11.”

J.K.

“We probably are safer thanwewere12yearsago,but it's thekind of statistic that is difficultto quantify because of politicalbickering and ignorance ofmost of the public.

“It's also true that many at-tacks may have been thwarted,but the kind ofwork by counter-intelligence people that pre-vents them is secret and un-known tomost of us. That's whyit's generally 'classified.'

“I remember being in myclassroom teachingmy seventhgrade a story that had Manhat-tan as its setting and worryingthe military might shoot downthe jet over Pennsylvania be-fore it circled back around toWashington.”

TRog

“Personally I never felt un-safebeforeorafter9-11. Itwasatragedy, but when you areraised practicing hiding underyour desk because of a nuclearattackyoutendto take theeventwith a different perspective.

“When it occurred I was inmy home office.Mywife yelledand my immediate commentupon seeing it on TV was that itwas Bin Laden.

“I told her that Pres. Clintonhad warned the incoming ad-ministration to watch out forhim, but they ignored him onthat and just about everythingelse due to their arrogance. Thesecond plane confirmed mysupposition.”

J.Z.

“Yes, if your question asksabout ‘from foreign terrorists.’No, if your question asks about‘from our re-elected leaders.’

“While deeply saddened thatday and for some period afterthat day, the bombers knewthey could ruin our country ifthey could make our re-electedofficials run amok with ourfreedoms ... obviously, this hashappened. It’s my biggest fear,and it is ongoing.”

K.P.

Aug. 28 questionShould fans at sporting events

have to conform to a “code ofconduct”? What types of behav-ior should be regulated?

“I’ma fan of theXavierMus-keteers and the Cincinnati Cy-clonesandwhenIgotogamesatCintas Center and U.S. BankArena, I feel I have the right toyell as loudasIwantas longas itis not offensive to others...thatis called home court/field/iceadvantage.

“As I get older, I don’t get as

‘rowdy’ as I used to, but I stillyell at players, coaches and ofcourse referees, however Ikeep it clean with the languageand by some chance if I do sayone of the no no words, I apolo-gize to those around me.

"With this being said, I can’tstand it when fans around metell me to keep it down or movebecause of your yelling or evenlook at you like you’re fromMars.

“If you want quiet, do notcome to a sporting event! Thisain’t a religous service!

“In closing, I go to sportingevents to watch the game andhave fun and hopefully root myteam onto victory, but more im-portantly just to release somestress from everyday living-...keep it clean...but, keep itloud!”

Season

Every cloud has asilver lining. There’s areason for everything.Being challenged in lifeis inevitable, being de-feated is optional. Ourfamily friend, Ruth Ann

Ashburn,could havequotedthese say-ings after astormwreckedhavoc withtwo of herfavoritetrees: Amaple sheraised

from a sapling and thetallest wild cherry treeI’ve ever seen. My hus-band, Frank, and I wentover to help. Frankbrought his saw and tack-led the smaller limbs.The professionals camein for the rest. The silverlining here is we nowhave a good amount ofwood aging for next year.

The storm alsoknocked a lot of our ap-ples off our trees, so Ihad to use the fallen onesup. Granddaughter Evaand I made applesaucefor her little sister, Emer-son. She washed the ap-ples and I chunked themup for the slow cooker. Ialso dehydrated someapples and have appleleather/rollups drying inthe sun. Check my blogfor those recipes plusphotos.

Chris Lipnick’s appleblossom cake

Chris, a Kentuckyreader, immigrated tothis country fromGer-many. Chris, like my

daughter-in-law Inge, isan expert baker. Chrisshared this recipe a whileback and I get requestsfor it when apple seasonrolls around. A moist and“good keeper” cake. “Ev-eryone wants the recipe,”Chris told me.

3 eggs2 cups sugar11⁄4 cups canola oil3 cups all-purpose flour1⁄2 teaspoon each cinnamon,nutmeg, cloves, salt

11⁄2 teaspoons baking soda1 teaspoon vanilla3 cups peeled and choppedapples (Chris likes GrannySmith)

1 cup chopped pecans orwalnuts

Preheat oven to 350degrees and grease andflour Bundt pan. Beatsugar and eggs untilcreamy. Add oil slowlyand beat until blended.Sift flour with spices, saltand soda. Pour into eggmixture and blend. Addvanilla, apples and nuts.Blend well and pour intopan. Bake 11⁄4 hours. Cooland remove from pan.Dust with powderedsugar or make glaze oflemon juice and pow-dered sugar.

Kathy L.’s poorman’s lobster

I knew I could counton you! A reader who hadlost her recipe and washoping beyond all hopethat I could help find itrequested this. “I’vemade this quite a bitalthough not recently.This recipe is probably atleast 20 years old. Since Idusted this off, I think Iwill fix it again soon,”

Kathy said.

1 lb. cod frozen, thawedenough to cut (about 1hour at roomtemperature)

2 cups water3 tablespoons cider vinegar2 teaspoons salt3 tablespoons butter1⁄2 teaspoon paprika

Cut each block offillets into equal chunkseach about 1-inch square.In a medium saucepan,bring water, vinegar andsalt to a boil over moder-ately high heat. Add fishchunks and reduce heatto moderate and simmer15 minutes until fish isopaque in center. Use anovenproof pan and meltthe butter in it. Removefish with slotted spoonand place in a singlelayer in prepared pan.Sprinkle fish with papri-ka and spoon butter overfish. Broil 3 to 5 inchesfrom heat source forabout 5 minutes, spoon-ing butter over fish once.

Roasted smashedpotato cakes

For Susan B., an East-side reader, who atethese at a restaurant.“They were seasonedwith just salt and pepper,and garnished withchives,” she said.

About 2 pounds small orbaby potatoes (I usedmylittle garden potatoes)

Olive oilSalt and pepper to tasteOnion chivesSour cream (optional)

Cook potatoes anddrain. Preheat oven to450 degrees. Brush bak-ing sheet with oil and

heat in oven for 5 min-utes. When potatoes arecool enough to handle,gently flatten and brushwith oil, and add sea-sonings. Roast about 15minutes or so. Turn over

and roast until golden,another 15 minutes or so.Garnish with chives andside of sour cream.

I’ve received severale-mails recently claim-ing to come from thepost office and FederalExpress telling me theywere unable to deliver apackage.

The e-mails look sus-picious and, upon check-ing, I’ve learned I’m oneof many people receiv-

ing them.Two such e-mails

came in August, alleged-ly from the UnitedStates Postal Service,asking me to downloadand print out a label,then take it at the near-est post office. Fortu-nately, I didn’t do thatbecause it could have

caused big problems.Federal Express has a

warning on its websitesaying scammers areusing its corporate logo,colors and legal dis-claimers to make themappear authentic. But itsays this is all just ascam to trick you intodivulging your personalor account information.Scammers could try toget you to send themmoney or do somethingelse that will result inyou getting defrauded.

FedEx says thesee-mail attacks have beengoing on for the past fewyears because they are

low-techand caneasily bedeployedon a mas-sive scale.Theseso-called“phishing”scamscontinue tofool people

– and some contain avirus that will be un-leashed on your equip-ment if you downloadanything they send. Thatvirus can be used tosteal personal informa-tion from your comput-er.

FedEx says the mainthing the scammerswant is to collect user-names, passwords, So-cial Security numbers,and credit card details.Consumer Reports saysone of its staffers re-ceived one of these e-mails last year whichstated he’d have to pay afee if he failed to act.

Like FedEx, the U.SPostal Service has awarning on its websiteabout e-mails claimingto be from the postalservice seeking onlinepostage charges or tell-ing of attempted or in-tercepted package deliv-

eries. Postal officialssay you should deletethese messages withouttaking further action.

Remember, neitherFedEx nor the post of-fice will send you ane-mail. If they need you,they’ll drop a note off atyour home or send you aletter. They have youraddress, but not youre-mail information.

The Greater CincinnatiPerforming Arts Society(GCPAS) will present two-time Grammy nominee,Tommy Emmanuel at theMcAuleyPerformingArtsCenterat7:30p.m.Sunday,Sept. 15.

Emmanuelwill kick offthe GCPAS 2013-2014 sea-son,which is comprised ofseven concerts from Sep-tember through May.Tickets for the event are$35 in advance, $40 day ofthe show and can be pur-chased by going towww.gcparts.org or bycalling 513-484-0157.

The Greater CincinnatiPerforming Arts Societyis a registered non-profitcharity and uses proceedsfrom the performances tosupport tuition assistanceprograms at Catholic ele-mentary schools through-outGreaterCincinnatiandNorthern Kentucky. Five

dollars from each ticketcan be donated to any oneof 94 schools. The ESAPorganization (esap.org)will match all donationsmaking the total contribu-tion ten dollars per ticket.Last season GCPAS andESAP donated nearly$10,000 to 71 schools.

Tommy Emmanuel is atwo-time Grammy nomi-nee and one of Australia’smost respected musi-cians. A household namein his native Australia,Emmanuel has garneredhundreds of thousands ofloyal fans worldwide.Tommy’s unique style – hecalls it simply “fingerstyle” – is akin to playingguitar the way a pianistplays piano, using all 10fingers. Rather than usinga whole band for melody,rhythm, bass, and drumparts, he plays all that –andmore – on one guitar.

In 1962, Tommy heardNashville guitarist ChetAtkins’ music for the firsttime and was riveted bythe complexity of Atkins’solo sound.Hespenthourstrying to figure out the

“fingerpicking” style andgobbled up each of theAmerican star’s albumsasthey came out. Shortly af-ter his father’s death of aheart attack in 1966, Em-manuel evenwrote Atkinsa letter and, to his sur-prise, the famous artistand producer wrote himback. Atkins would growto become Emmanuel’smentor and primary influ-ence, but it would be an-other 15 years before thetwo would finally meet inperson.

In all, Emmanuel’s cat-alog includesmore than20musical recordings run-ning the gamut of solos,duets, ensembles, covertunes, originals, both elec-tric and acoustic guitar.Hehasmade four liveper-formance DVDs, three in-structional DVDs, andregularly teaches masterclasses on the road.

Emmanuel opens arts society season

Tommy Emmanuel willopen the Greater CincinnatiPerforming Arts Societyconcert season at 7:30 p.m.Sunday, Sept. 15, at theMcAuley Performing ArtsCenter.PROVIDED
