While the city considers re-striping Observatory Avenue, resi-dents expressedtheir angerabout changeswhich havealready beenmade to ErieAvenue.
During arecent HydePark Neighbor-hood Councilmeeting, both residents and coun-cil expressed their opposition tothe reduction of lanes along ErieAvenue, as well as the addition ofa center turn-only lane and a bicy-cle lane.
Erie Avenue between Edwardsand Madison roads has alreadybeen re-striped to accommodatethese changes.
A similar plan is under consid-eration for Observatory Avenueand would involve removal of the
parking lanes.“(These changes) were imple-
mented without any discussion ornotification,” said Erie Avenueresident Doug Frueh, who attend-
ed the meeting.Frueh said
the commonc o n s e n s u samong residentsis the originalconfiguration ofErie Avenue wasfine and should-n’t have beenchanged.
“It seems less safe to us nowthan it was before the changeswere implemented,” he said.
Council made a motion reiterat-ing its opposition to the changes.
Council Vice President JanetBuening said she has receivednumerous complaints from resi-dents who said they were almostin accident or had a close callbecause of the lane configuration.

With the recent buzz about apossible roundabout at the six-way intersection of Murray,Madisonville and Plainville roads,Mariemont council has agreed toinvestigate the proposal.
“I think it’s a neat idea and Ithink it’s one worth exploring,”Councilman Cortney Scheeser saidat last week’s meeting.
“I think it’s worth at least aconscientious look by council ...(to) see if it makes sense forMariemont.”
The intersection currently hasstop signs and encompasses por-tions of both Mariemont andColumbia Township.
Columbia Township had pro-posed a roundabout for the inter-section, but needs Mariemont’sapproval.
“I think it’s a bad idea for manyreasons,” Mariemont Mayor DanPolicastro said.
In addition to cost concerns,Policastro said the roundaboutwould cut into property andgreenspace.
“Roundabouts consume a lot of(area) and they do present prob-
lems in that they are kind of rarein this driving culture,” Council-man Dennis Wolter said.
“I think bringing people to astop and making them look whenthey are not moving has somesafety enhancements that areworth considering.”
Councilman Andy Black saidthe issue is worth exploring anddiscussing the roundabout does
not commit Mariemont to the proj-ect.
Policastro said he was meetingwith Hamilton County Commis-sioner Todd Portune about theroundabout and would relay infor-mation to council.
“I’m not saying this is the rightthing and I’m not saying this isthe wrong thing, but I am sayingit’s worth the due diligence and ...
a proactive way (to) declare thevision of what we want the north-ern boundary of the village to looklike,” Scheeser said.
“Murray (Road) is a mess, theboulevard is a mess and this is agreat catalyst to revitalize thatentire boulevard.”
Council verbally agreed to dis-cuss the issue, but it has not beenassigned to any committee.
Mariemont to consider roundaboutCost projections
Columbia Township AdministratorMike Lemon said the preliminary costestimate for a roundabout at the six-way intersection of Murray,Madisonville and Plainville roads is$2.7 million.
Estimates include construction,design fee, construction managementfee, right-of-way cost and overheadpower line relocation.
Lemon emphasized that the figureis preliminary and includes significantcontingency amounts.
Columbia Township is applying forgrant from the Ohio-Kentucky-IndianaRegional Council of Governments for aroundabout at the intersection ofBramble and Plainville roads andwould likely apply for similar funding ifMariemont approves the roundabout atthe six-way intersection.
PROVIDED
This is what the intersection of Murray and Plainville roads could look like if Columbia Townshipcan get funding and work out any concerns from nearby neighbors and the county. MariemontCouncil recently agreed to explore the idea of a roundabout at the intersection.
Terrace Park Council willplace a new operating levyon the November ballot.
Councilman Mark Porstsaid the 2.8-mill levy repli-cates the amount collectedby the village’s previouslevy.
Terrace Park Councilmissed a filing deadline toplace a renewal levy on theballot last year.
Porst said this operatinglevy will generate approxi-mately $365,000 per year.
The Hamilton CountyAuditor’s Office will calcu-late the exact revenuegeneration.

Terrace Park is goingthrough a number of trans-portation enhancementsthis year, but the latesteffort comes from the vil-lage’s Garden Club.
Member Linda Rock-away said the club waslooking for a way to beauti-fy the village and decidedon placing three, 6-foot-long flower boxes on eachside of the Elm Avenuebridge, which overlooks theLittle Miami Scenic Trail.
But the beautificationprocess wasn’t as simple ashanging a few flower con-tainers.
Rockaway said sheworked with the HamiltonCounty bridge engineer onsafety and placement con-cerns, as well as issues withplans for a self-wateringsystem.
After the county signedoff, Terrace Park VillageCouncil gave its approval,noting it would be a wel-come improvement to thatarea.
“I think it’s going to be
real pretty,” Garden Clubmember Diane Treftz said,adding flowers wouldchange throughout the sea-son.
Rockaway said theflower boxes will not affectthe safety of the sidewalks,road or trail but will be visi-ble from all those areas.
The project is estimatedto cost approximately$6,000 to $7,000, withfunding primarily comingfrom the club’s spring plantsale.
“The garden club willfund and maintain the
whole thing,” Rockawaysaid. “It will make a goodentrance to Terrace Park.”
Rockaway said shehopes to have the flowerboxes by the end of May.

The Summit Country Day Schoolintroduced Michael Bradley as thenew varsity boys’ basketball coachMay 17.
Bradley met with Upper Schoolbasketball players Monday morn-ing. He then meet faculty, parentsand the rest of the community thatevening at Kyte Theater.
“We are excited to hire Mike asthe new face of our basketball pro-gram,” Athletic Director GregoryDennis said. “He brings with him
an unmatched wealth of basketballknowledge and expertise. His pas-sion for the game and high charac-ter will resonate well with our com-munity.”
Throughout the six-week inter-view process, Bradley’s pedigreeand knowledge for the game sepa-rated him from the other 40 candi-dates.
He was a high school nationalplayer of the year candidate,recruited to play at the University of
Kentucky, where he won a nationalchampionship in 1998.
Bradley later transferred to Vil-lanova University, where he wasnamed a consensus All American in2001.
He was then selected in the firstround of the NBA draft, where heplayed for five seasons.
Bradley is still very well connect-ed in basketball circles, as his refer-ences include: Rick Pitino, TubbySmith, Steve Lappas, Jay Wright,
Maurice Cheeks, Lenny Wilkins,etc.
Bradley previously served as avolunteer assistant at CovingtonCatholic High School after severalyears of running camps in thegreater Boston area.
He has also worked as a repre-sentative for several European-based players. Bradley and his wifenow run the Michael Bradley Foun-dation and are owners of MokshaYoga in Crescent Springs, Ky.
The Walnut Hills HighSchool boys’ tennis teammade a clean sweep of itsdivision and won the FortAncient Valley Conferencetournament, finishing theregular season with a 10-4
record.“We were very happy to
win it as we knew Turpinwould be strong again thisseason,” head coach CindyStarr said. “This was a bigdeal for the kids. Wehaven’t won a league title infour years so I was reallyproud of them and the way
they played.”The team was led by No.
1 singles player David Lern-er. Lerner was a perfect 7-0against FAVC competitionand 13-4 on the season. Heearned the No. 2 seed in thesectional tournament.
“He has had a greatyear,” Starr said.
Kaz St. John-Fausz fin-ished first at No. 2 singlesand was somewhat of anunderdog heading into theFAVC tournament. Starr saidhe developed some grit dur-ing the season that helpedhim grind out close points.
“He has shown he hasstaying power in a matchand can play a long pointand still win,” she said. “Ithink the boys played theirbest tennis in the tourna-
ment.”Starr said the Eagles
have a “wonderful fresh-man,” Nils Knobloch, at No.3 singles and has improvedall season. The team hasfive seniors and that leader-ship played a big role in theteam’s success.
“We had some reallygood leadership, and theyset the tone for the teamworking hard and having agood attitude,” Starr said.
Walnut Hills had severalclose 3-2 wins this seasonand had big wins overWyoming and La Salle. Theteam also had a close winover CHCA.
“David’s strong seasonwas a real plus for the teambut really, everybody camethrough at a different time,”
Starr said. “We have a lot ofdepth this year.”
Lerner has a chance tomake some noise in thepostseason with such a highseed at the sectional tourna-ment but one roadblock forthe Eagles is having peren-nial power St. Xavier in thesame sectional. That makesit tough for players toadvance. Elder, who Starrcalled ‘a team to watch inthe near future’, was also inthe same sectional.
Overall, Starr said shewas very happy with howthe season went and thatthe team carried on the tra-dition of producing strongtennis players.
“The Walnut tradition ofexcellence continued on andoff the court,” she said.

A 2-0 start in tourna-ment play extended MeganFlenniken’s record-breakingsoftball career at Saint Ursu-la Academy into at least theDivision I sectional finalsthis spring.
The Bulldogs, seeded No.7 in Cincinnati’s Division Isectionals, faced No. 2 GlenEste after Community Pressdeadlines Monday, May 17,with a sectional title and atrip to districts on the line.
The Bulldogs bested No.23 Withrow, 16-0, and No.13 Oak Hills, 2-1, duringopening rounds of tourna-ment play en route to its tripto the Division I SectionalChampionship finals.
But win or lose againstGlen Este, there is no doubtabout Flenniken’s positiveimpact on the St. Ursulaprogram, head coach Chris-sy Martini said.
Flenniken is a New Rich-mond resident.
“When my third yearcame around and Megangot there it was a dreamcome true,” Martini said ofthe fourth-year starting
pitcher. “I think about (theend of her career) all thetime and I am really goingto miss her. It is absolutelythe end of an era.”
Flenniken owns Bulldogrecords in at least seven sta-tistical categories includingsingle-season and careerstrikeouts, single-seasonand career innings pitched
and batters faced in a singleseason and a career.
This spring, the Bulldogswere 16-11 through 27games with Flennikenstanding at 13-8 overall.
Through 21 gamespitched and 146.1 inningsof work, Flenniken had animpressive 289 strikeoutsand nine shut-outs with a
0.29 ERA and a 0.44 WHIP(walks and hits per inningpitched).
“She has been more incontrol than any highschool pitcher I’ve everseen. She has beenextremely dominant,” Mar-tini said. “Nothing bothersher out there.
“Sometimes she is a one-woman team and all weneed is a catcher,” Martini
joked. “She is your dreamball player.”
Before tournament playbegan, Flenniken walkedonly six batters during thecourse of the regular sea-son.
“It’s unheard of to onlywalk six people with thenumber of innings she hasthrown,” Martini said.
Aside from leading theway on the mound, Flen-niken was also the Bull-dogs’ offensive leader with37 hits, a .487 batting aver-age, four doubles, 20 runsand 15 RBI.
Katie Hulsman (23 hitswith a .372 average) andHannah Raulston (20 hitswith a .325 average) werethe only other Bulldogs with20 hits or more in 2010.
Raulston catches Flen-niken for the Bulldogs.
“Our lack of offense keptus from winning moregames,” Martini said. “Withthat said, we have the abili-ty to win games by justpushing a run or two acrossthe plate. With Megan,there is a chance we couldbeat anybody.
“(Flenniken) runs theshow,” Martini added sim-ply. “She has changed theprogram and she made sucha huge impact for (St. Ursu-la) softball.”

Following the devastatingSpace Shuttle Columbia disaster in2003 a plan was launched forNASA to go back to the moon andeven to make plans for Mars.
This project, named “Constella-tion,” had garnered the approvalof two presidents as well asRepublican and Democratic Con-gresses.
However, in President Obama’srecent release of the budget forNASA he revealed his intentionsto cancel Project Constellation.Although his plan includes a gen-eral increase in funds for NASAmany are crying foul.
Neil Armstrong, the firsthuman being to set foot on themoon, told reporters that he has“substantial reservations” con-cerning the president’s plan ofaction.
Jim Lovell, commander of theApollo 13 mission, and Gene Cer-nan, the last human being to walkon the moon, join Armstrong insaying that the cancellation ofProject Constellation could be“devastating” and “destines ournation to become one of second-or even third-rate stature.”
After six years of carrying outProject Constellation more than$9 billion have already beeninvested. President Obama hasmade a grave mistake in this can-cellation.
It seems the president maysimply be eager to reverse a Bushadministration program, with littlethought of what could have been.
NASA, which receives a mea-
ger 0.53 percentof the budget in2010, doesn’thave as much towork with assome mightthink.
Rather thancontinue workon the Ares Iand Orion rock-ets, the Obamaadministrationhas planned tosink $6 billion
into a “space taxi” program totransport astronauts into orbitalstations.
I’m no expert, but shouldn’t webe setting our goals a little higher?
It has been more than 60 yearssince we first reached the lunarsurface and what have we donesince? Not a great deal.
Rather than aiming for Mars,which would be the greatestaccomplishment in human histo-ry, we are settling for a taxi serv-ice. Where has our sense ofadventure gone?
Not having extraordinary plansis one thing, but throwing themout when we are already nearly$10 billion into them is ludicrousand wasteful.
But don’t take my word for it,listen to what other top officialsand space experts have to say.
Sen. Richard C. Shelby claimsthat “The president’s proposedNASA budget begins the deathmarch for the future of U.S. humanspaceflight.” NASA, he says, is
soon becoming “the agency of pipedreams and fairy tales.”
Rep. Pete Olson concurs thatthe plans are “a crippling blow toAmerica’s human spaceflight pro-gram.”
The three astronauts – Arm-strong, Lovell and Cernan – con-cluded that “without the skill andexperience that actual spacecraftoperation provides the USA is fartoo likely to be on a long down-ward slide to mediocrity.”
What higher authority is thereon space exploration? Color medisappointed.

My first column gave some ofthe reasons for planning a raisedbed for your home garden: Earlierwarming of soil, greater moistureretention, control of your soilchoice, prevention of washingaway of seeds, less compacting ofsoil and ease of maintenance.
Let’s move on to planning yourraised bed.
SSiizzee. The size of your bed canbe determined by the size of yourhousehold. A “pilot” raised bedmight be 24 inches by 48 inchesfor salad greens and/or herbs.
A 4-by-4-foot raised bed willprovide enough produce for twopersons, or for a single personwho wishes to share with neigh-bors. Doubling that size to 4 feetby 8 feet will provide your choiceof table vegetables for a family offour.
DDeepptthh. A raised bed shouldhave a minimum depth of 6 inch-es – but 12 inches gives a largersoil base and allows the plantingof root vegetables, such as carrots.
The 12-inch height also pro-vides a convenient height for sit-ting on the corner of the bed struc-ture to do your gardening – a bighelp for a tender back.
You can con-struct yourraised bed fromboards from thelumberyard orthere are pre-milled bedsavailable.
These pack-age beds havethe advantage ofsimple installa-tion, and thecomponents (inthe size youchoose) come
ready to assemble. No toolsrequired.
SSttrruuccttuurree. The choice of struc-tural material is a first step towardyour successful raised bed garden.We recommend using local wood(red cedar is perfect).
It is advised to avoid the use ofcertain plastics, railroad ties ortreated lumber, which could con-tain contaminants that may affectyour crop.
Railroad ties have been treatedwith creosote, which the EPA haslisted as a potential carcinogen.Lumberyard pressure-treatedwood is injected with chromium,
copper and arsenic.These chemicals were original-
ly thought to stay inside thewood, but tests have shown thatsmall amounts may migrate fromthe wood into surrounding soil.
LLooccaattiioonn. Place your bed on alevel spot that has five to sixhours of sun per day. This can beon top of current lawn, a tired orovergrown garden plot or even apatio or deck.
If it is placed on top of vegeta-tion, corrugated cardboard (simplyde-construct a used box) may beput down first and the raised bedinstalled on top of it.
This smothers previousgrowth, and also sends an invita-tion to the local worms to burrowup, since they like the protein inthe glue in the cardboard.
The worms enter the raisedbed, eating decayed organic mat-ter, opening channels for moistureto descend to your vegetables’roots and enriching the bed soilwith their castings.Juliann B. Gardner of Terrace Park has
more than 20 years of experience ingardening. She can be reached at
The recent article by LisaWakeland, “Appointment RevealsDeeper Divisions in Mariemont,”would have one believe that thereexists a “civil war” in the commu-nity, and that the appointment ofPolice Chief Hines to be the com-bined police and fire chief was themost recent “salvo” to be fired.
The appointment was made tobring about the same strong lead-ership in the Fire Department ascurrently exists in the PoliceDepartment.
Chief Hines has the leadershipskills to lead the Fire Department,which is an excellent one, withmany highly dedicated and expe-rienced firefighters.
The combined position wasestablished to strengthen the
department and to keep itMariemont’s own.
The proposal of several yearsago to join the Little Miami Fireand Rescue District was defeatedin May 2009 and has nothing todo with the recent decision.
Mariemont is going to keep itsFire Department and it will be astronger unit under the leadershipof Chief Hines.
The decision on the new posi-tion was supported by many ofthe leading citizens of Mariemont,as well as a majority of villagecouncil members.
It is time for all village residentsand members of the Fire Depart-ment to support Chief Hines in hisnew position and to eliminate anyindication of a “dysfunctionalvibe.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Last week’s questionWhat are your memories of
your high school prom?“Not very pleasant. I was a
skinny kid from a poor family in asmall town, in a small parochialhigh school, and I wasn’t a jock,nor was I particularly good withgirls. So I didn’t really plan to goto the prom.
“However, the nun in charge ofthese things decided that she wasgoing to assemble all the boys andgirls who didn’t have prom datesin the gym, have them face eachother, and pick a date.
“It’s been too many years, so Ican’t remember if we were just topick the girl across from us or not,but I think that’s what it was.
“My date is now a nun her-self.”
Bill B.
“I didn’t go – the whole formaldance concept just didn’t appeal tome. On the night of my seniorprom I went to the movies withmy boyfriend – who for the past38 years has been my husband.
“And we would still rather goto the movies than to a formaldinner or dance!”
J.S.B.
“I have very distinct memoriesof my high school prom because Itook two different girls! It was atwo-day event: the first day wasthe dance, and the next was aboat ride. Traditionally, the samegirl went to both.
“By the time prom came up, Ihad decided I wanted to dateanother girl I had met. I can chalkthis up to high school immaturity,but I broke up with girlfriend No.1 after taking her to the promdance, and started dating girl-friend No. 2 by going on the boatride the next day, never missing abeat.
“I can remember how surprisedand amazed all my friends werebecause nobody did that!
“It was a terrible thing to do,but I was 17. Needless to say, Ialso broke up with girlfriend No. 2and married someone totally dif-ferent.
“Many years later I still feelbadly that I did what I did. Carol,if you’re out there, I am SOSORRY!”
R.H.
“Prom? Weird dress, painfulshoes, no sleep, nice date.”
L.A.D.
“My senior prom began withgetting a tuxedo and corsage formy date. That was the hard part. Idouble-dated with a friend whohad a car – get a limo – you gottabe kidding!
“We began on Friday eveningwith the prom itself at the Green-hills Country Club followed by alate dinner at the Lookout Housein Kentucky. Then we did an after-prom (chaperoned) party at afriend's home in Saint Bernard.
“Got to bed around 4 a.m. Itcontinued on Saturday at ConeyIsland from about 10 a.m. untilafter dark. When I finally droppedmy date off I crashed in bed forabout 12 hours sleep. But it wasgrand...”
R.V.
“A really great time with a real-ly neat date. My school was smallso everyone knew everyone elseand we always had great timestogether. I hope to see some ofthem when I attend my 50thgraduation reunion next month.”

THINGS TO DO
BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
The Wellness Community hostedthe inaugural Giving Hope Breakfast,welcoming approximately 150 gueststo Xavier University’s Cintas Center.
The message of the morning wasThe Wellness Community’s commit-ment that “no one should face canceralone” and guests learned more abouthow the non-profit cancer agencyworks to provide professional pro-grams of support, education and hopefor people with cancer, caregivers, andcancer survivors – all at no cost toparticipants.
Local 12 WKRC reporter JeffHirsch, a cancer survivor, was theemcee for the event. Guests heardinspiring firsthand accounts fromArlene and Ed Murphy of Milford andBob Murden of Mariemont about thepositive impact The Wellness Commu-nity has had on their families’ individ-ual cancer journeys.
Founding board president andtrustee emeritus Harry Davidow pro-vided additional insight about the his-tory and mission of TWC, which wasfounded in California in 1982, andintroduced in Cincinnati in 1990 byhis late sister, Lynn Stern, and SherryWeathers.
TWC Executive Director Rick Bryanof Blue Ash shared more details aboutthe many types of programs offeredeach month at TWC locations in BlueAsh and Fort Wright as well as offsiteoutreach locations. Participants canchoose to attend support groups, net-
working groups, educational work-shops, mind/body classes such asyoga and Tai Chi, cooking classes, andsocial gatherings. Importantly, there isnever a fee to participate thanks to thegenerosity of individuals, companies,foundations, and the profits of Lega-cies, the upscale consignment shop inHyde Park Plaza that carries home fur-nishings and accessories.
Just before the breakfast concluded,Bill Krul, a past president of TWC’sboard, provided guests an opportunity
to contribute to The Wellness Commu-nity and $22,500 was raised.

Envy is a little bacterialiving within us. It canremain small and causeminimal trouble or spreadand poison the whole per-son.
Envy and resentmentcan even be a cause ofinternational or nationalconflict. Poorer nations mayfeel it toward wealthierones, or one race or religiontoward another.
Psychoanalysts considerenvy in making their analy-sis because it can be anunderlying factor in rela-tionship problems betweenspouses, parents, siblings,and friends.
Envy is a difficult emo-tion to identify and inte-grate.
“Envy is so shameful apassion that we never dareacknowledge it,” says LaRochefoucauld.
After decades of hearingindividuals’ confessions, Icould count on one handthe people who ever men-tioned envy as a personalsin of theirs.
Jealousy is often mistak-en for envy. They’re not thesame. Jealousy is mainlyconcerned about love. The
jealous person fears losingsomeone they love to arival.
Whereas envy is the painfelt when another is per-ceived as possessing someperson, object, quality, orstatus that one does nothave.
Webster’s dictionarydefines envy as “the painfulor resentful awareness of anadvantage enjoyed byanother joined with a desireto possess the same advan-tage,” to which some psy-chologists would add, “andoften the desire to destroythe one perceived as pos-sessing that advantage.”
What are some examplesof envy?
It is possible to churnwith envy when we per-ceive another as more suc-cessful, better-looking, morepopular, wealthier, having abetter body or youthful age,having a very desirablespouse, an influential job,higher social status, or befavored by a parent or boss,and the beat goes on.
A woman so envied hersister that the predominantmotive in her life was notdoing what she really
enjoyed, but doing things toovertake her sister.
A sports-minded manwas resentful of certain ath-letes and their well-devel-oped bodies. He evenrejoiced when they wereinjured or publicly embar-rassed (schadenfreude inGerman, “taking pleasure inothers’ misfortunes”).
Usually the envied per-son does nothing to deservethe envy of another. He orshe is not responsible forthe envious person’s per-ceived lack of the enviedquality. In fact, the enviedperson may possess thequality because theyworked hard to achieve it.
To try and understandour perplexing emotion ofenvy, we need to see how itstems from our humandesire for fulfillment.
In “Urgings Of TheHeart,” authors Au andCannon offer helpfulinsights: “Whenever weperceive something to be agood, we are attracted to it.We feel a desire to be closeto it or possess it … Envy isintrinsically related to good-ness. What we each come tovalue and desire as good is
determined by our uniquepersonality.
“What is desirable to oneperson may not be so toanother. Envy enters ourhearts when we despair ofever receiving the goodthings we desire… and ourdespair becomes fertile soilfor envy, which flourisheswhenever hope is lacking.”
Looked at spiritually,envy represents a refusal toaccept one’s humaness andlimitations. By focusingenviously on what others
have and we lack, webetray ourselves by prefer-ring the being of another toour own.
The spiritual failure ofenvy lies in the fact thatrejecting who we are carrieswith it a certain rejection ofthe God who created andfashions us.
“In Christian tradition,Satan has been identified asthe archetypal envierbecause he could not accepthis rightful place in theorder of creation,” writes Au
and Can-non. “Thathe wasnot God,creating ak ingdomof his ownwhere hec o u l dreign.”
E n v ymust ber e p l a c e dwith gratitude.

I enjoy starting outMemorial Day with my fam-ily, going to Mass at St.Philomena church in Cler-mont County. It’s an out-door mass, weather permit-ting.
Afterwards, there’s a gunsalute to the fallen veterans.We visit my parents’ gravesand put vases of fresh flow-ers on them. The grandkidshelp me plant sprigs ofMom’s heirloom mint.
It’s a meaningful tradi-tion. I know many of youcelebrate Memorial Day this
way, whether rememberinga fallen veteran, family orfriends.
The cornbread saladrecipe is one of my mostrequested for this holiday,so here it is, in plenty oftime for you to put it on themenu.

Alandra’s wasabi-mayodip with asparagus
Alandra is my friend,Ruth Ann Parchman’sdaughter-in-law. Alandra
shared this recipe in a fami-ly cookbook Ruth Ann pub-lished. Wasabi is Japanesehorseradish.
2-3 pounds thin to medi-um asparagus, trimmed andblanched
Whisk together until sugar dissolves:1 cup mayonnaise1 tablespoon plus 1 tea-
I got enough rhubarbstalks from the garden tomake my all-time favoritetopping. Rhubarb is called“pie plant” because mostfolks make a rhubarb andstrawberry pie with it.
Rhubarb is good for ourskeletal system. It containsanti-bacterial and anti-can-cer properties, so it’s good toeat when in season. It’sreally sour, though, so somesweetener is necessary.
1 pound rhubarbZest and juice of an
orange1⁄3 to 1⁄2 generous cup
sugar or equivalentShake of cinnamon
(optional but good)
Preheat oven to 350degrees. Cut rhubarb intochunks. Toss with zest,orange and sugar. Put insmall baking dish, cover
with foil and roast 20 min-utes. Remove foil and roastuntil the juices get a bitsyrupy. Add cinnamon.Serve hot, warm, room tem-perature or chilled onscones, or as a topping forcake and ice cream.
Tip from Rita: Only thestalks of rhubarb are edible,not the leaves.
Can you help?Like Macaroni Grill’s
chicken scaloppini. ForDonna, a Kentucky reader.
Like Manyet Bakery’sradio rolls. For Patti Dirr.“Rolled like phyllo doughwound in a coil. Stickycaramel glaze and choppedpecans with caramel icingand more pecans. It wasflat, not risen.” Her hus-band used to drive fromCrestview Hills to Newporton Saturday mornings justto buy these.
Like Ruby Tuesday’savocado ranch dressing.For Wendy McDonald, aNorwood reader. “They dis-continued it and won’tshare the recipe.”
Tips from readers• Batavia reader Debbie
Moffatt offers this tip forRita’s oven-fried frenchfries. “We prepare them in asimilar manner by parboil-ing the potatoes first. I wantto pass on that I use myapple slicer to make thewedges and cut the ‘core’circle in half lengthwise,”she said.
• In response to Mrs.Ratterman’s request fordarker sauerbraten gravy.
Reader John Augustinhas a Dayton Art Institute
cookbookrecipe thatuses gin-gersnapsfor thick-ening andhe saysthe gravy is dark. John hasmade it and declares it “deli-cious.” He’ll share if Mrs.Ratterman wants it.
Reader Mary DeFoe sug-gests browning the flour inthe skillet. “Takes about 20minutes of careful watchingand stirring.”
Mount Lookout readerTom Heitkamp says hetracked down a recipe fromifood.tv:
Sauerbraten gravy1⁄4 cup butter1 tablespoon sugar1⁄4 cup flourApproximately 1 sauer-
braten marinade (left aftercooking meat)
1 cup red wine
In a large saucepan, heatthe butter, add the sugarand enough flour to producea thick roux. Stir constant-ly and let the flour darkenas much as possible withoutburning.
Slowly add the mari-nade, stirring. Add the wineand simmer, stirring, untilthe sauce has the thicknessof heavy cream. Strain themixture through a very finesieve and keep warm.

This summer salad is a cornbread winner
When Episcopal Churchof the Redeemer (HydePark) parishioner CarolynMartin learned how muchmoney was generated eachyear by the NCAA men’scollege basketball tourna-ment, she decided to capi-talize on the Cincinnaticommunity’s love for bas-ketball by offering a MarchMadness pool with a twist.
To participate, individu-als were asked to make a$12 donation to purchasemosquito nets for Africathrough Nets for Life. Thesuccess of the event waseven greater than Martinhad imagined.
“We were able to gener-ate enough money to pur-chase 110 nets throughNets for Life,” Martin said.
“Each net can protectthree people from contract-ing malaria. So this simpleproject will help as many as330 individuals in Africa.
And we had a lot of fundoing it.”
More than 50 peopleparticipated in the pool,choosing their teamsthrough the brackets set upby CBSsports.com. Parish-ioner Amy Harris organizedthe brackets and monitoredthe results.
The winner was PerryDrosos, who not onlynamed the Duke Blue Devilsas champion but also pre-dicted the number of points
scored in the final game.His prize? A massive tro-
phy, bragging rights and theknowledge that he made adifference.

A new partnershipbetween Big Brothers BigSisters of Greater Cincinnatiand the Cincinnati SportsClub is giving new volun-teers great opportunities toget to know their LittleBrothers and Little Sisters.
This comes as more than400 Tri-State children arecurrently on the agency’swaiting list for a Big Brotheror Big Sister.
Big Brothers Big Sistersof Greater Cincinnati match-es caring adult volunteers –Bigs – with children – Littles– who can benefit from hav-ing a mentor in their lives.
One of the most difficulttimes in these friendshipscan be the beginning, as thetwo work to get to knoweach other.
The Cincinnati SportsClub, on Red Bank Road inFairfax, is giving a 30-daymembership free of chargeto reward new Bigs for vol-unteering and to providethem a place to do activitieswith their new Little. TheSports Club sits on a 14-acresite with more than110,000 square feet ofindoor and outdoor activi-ties including swimming,basketball, ping pong, run-ning, walking, tennis, rac-quetball, soccer and moreincluding a new “exergamezone” for kids ages 10-13and a new outdoor splashpad.
“This really takes a bigconcern away for the newBigs,” says Kathy List, pres-ident and CEO of Big Broth-ers Big Sisters of GreaterCincinnati.
“This kind of environ-ment provides a terrific ice-breaker. The matches areable to use everything at theSports Club, so there are allkinds of things for them todo.”
