Despite higher than expectedbids, it won’t be long before workbegins on the Colerain TownshipMemorial project.
At a special meeting July 27,Colerain Township officials re-jected all of the general site bidsopened July 25, because theywere more than 10 percent abovethe $400,000 engi-neering esti-mates. That partof the project,which includesgrading and ma-sonry work, wentback out to bidand the new bidswill be openedTuesday, Aug. 14.
The contract for signage andgraphic work was awarded to lowbidder Geograph Industries, aHarrison firm that will do thework for $78,005, according tothe bid.
Colerain bought the parcelfrom BP Oil in December of 2010for $300,000 to build a gatewayand memorial at the high-profileintersection of Colerain Avenueand Springdale Road near North-gate Mall.
The township has been talkingabout making the corner a gate-way of some kind since 2005. TheColerain Township Memorial Pla-za will honor Colerain Townshippolice, firefighters, townshipworkers as well as veterans fromall U.S. service branches. Thetownship had a ceremonial
groundbreaking in May.Frank Birkenhauer, Colerain
Township assistant administra-tor and economic developmentdirector, said the timeline for theproject sees work beginning bythe end of September with com-pletion in early 2013.
“New tenants at the mall antic-ipate opening in early 2013, andwe expect the memorial will beright in line with that,” Birken-hauer said.
This is the design for the Colerain Memorial planned for Colerain Avenue andSpringdale Road. Memorial bricks are on sale to help pay for the project andwill be incorporated into the memorial. PROVIDED

Police are patrolling anew beat in town: North-gate Mall.
In an arrangement thatcould be the first of its kindin Ohio – and a twist on a na-tional trend – on-duty Cole-rain Township police offi-cers replaced mall securityguards who had no firepow-er and no arrest powers.
“This is like an old-timewalking beat – but with aroof,” said Police Chief DanMeloy.
Colerain police addedthe beat recently after theshopping center’s new own-er agreed to contract for po-lice protec-tion. Thenew owner,Zeshan Ta-bani, sayshis goal is toshift per-ceptions –and to re-at-tract cus-tomers andtenants to the strugglingmall.
The Dallas-based TabaniGroup bought the 916,000-square-foot regional mallfor $21.5 million in March.In 2005, a previous owner,Feldman Mall Properties,had paid $110 million.
Asked whether crimestatistics became an impe-tus for police to assumemall security duties, Meloyreplied, “It wasn’t based oncrime statistics.” In 2011,police were called to themall about twice a week,statistics show. “Fear ofcrimehasmoreimpact thanactual numbers of crimes,”Meloy said.
A lifelong Colerain resi-dent, Meloy kept hearingthat people felt unsafe atNorthgate. He thinks that’sa big reason the mall isn’t asbusy as it once was.
“If your friends andyour neighbors are afraid,and if your mom tells younot to go somewhere be-cause she thinks it’s notsafe, you’re not going togo,” Meloy said.
Although some othershopping centers also are
home to police substations,Meloy said he thinks North-gate could be the only mallin Greater Cincinnatiwhere local police have afull-time presence and havereplaced security guards.
Ken Hinkle, president ofthe Ohio Association ofChiefs of Police, said he wasunaware of any public-pri-vate partnerships quite likethe one Colerain has estab-lished.
“It really sounds like avery neat concept. ... Youmay be onto somethingvery cutting-edge there,”said Hinkle, who is policechief in Obetz, near Colum-bus. “That’s very innova-tive thinking.”
‘The mall is partof our community’
Across the nation, grow-ing numbers of police agen-cies have been establishingpartnerships with mallsand other shopping centers,said Joseph LaRocca,spokesman for the NationalRetail Federation in Wash-ington, D.C. Typically, po-lice augment existing secu-rity guards rather than re-place them, he said.
The vast majority ofshoppers are law-abiding,LaRocca said, but somepeople turn to crime if anopportunity presents itself.Others simply are careercriminals, he said. Boththose types of potentialcriminals “maybe thinktwice about doing some-thing wrong” if they see po-lice in a mall, LaRocca said.
The Colerain arrange-ment was first discussedabout a year ago, when Ta-bani was considering buy-ing the mall. While re-searching the market po-tential, he heard safety con-cerns from shoppers.“They were saying they’dsee large groups of peopleand they felt it was intimi-dating,” Tabani said.
So Tabani approachedMeloy and proposed sta-tioning police at Northgate.With a visible presencefrom police – as opposed tosecurity guards – he’s con-vinced people will feelmore secure.
“When customers comeback, sales go up,” he said.Then, with resolve in histone, Tabani declared: “Weare going to turn the tide
here.”Meloy said he and Taba-
ni “met in the middle ofwhat I think was a goodidea.”
Meloy said he’s alwayslooking for new approachesto public safety, which heknows goes hand-in-handwith strengthening a com-munity. “When people feelbetter about the communi-ty, things begin to happenforthebetter,”hesaid.“Themall is part of our commu-nity; it’s like a communitywithin itself.”
‘You don’t seeas much riffraff’
Renee Bell, propertymanager, said people whowork in the mall “were all alittle skeptical at first”about bringing police intothe mall. Now some of thebiggest early naysayers aresupporters. Shopkeepershave learned better tacticsfor dealing with shopliftersand also have been advisedabout ways to crime-prooftheir stores better.
A shopper, Jeff Herzog,said he has noticed, “Youdon’t see as much riffraffhanging around,” since po-lice began manning themall. “Not to bad-mouth thesecurity they used to have,but these guys mean busi-ness.”
Colerain officers are as-signedtomallpatrolonaro-tating basis; shopkeepershave been provided a spe-cial direct-dial phone num-bertoreachtheassignedof-ficer “so they don’t evenhave to call dispatch, theyjust call me,” or whoever’s
on duty, said Officer ChrisPhillips.
Phillips was on duty oneday when a crime occurredthat almost certainly wouldhave remained unsolved ifnot for the new mall beat,pointed out Lt. Angela Mey-er.
Before the mall opened,employees of one mall storespotted a pair of men tryingto open the gate to a neigh-boring store while holding alargebag.Phillipsfoundthemen, based on the employ-ees’ descriptions, and keptan eye on them from a dis-tance. Phillips said that,when the men spotted him,they got into a getaway ve-hicle and sped away.
Phillips headed for hiscruiser. Officers ended uparresting two suspects af-ter a chase and recovered$10,000 worth of jewelrythey say was stolen from amall store. Had only securi-ty guards been on site, theywould have been unable tochase the suspect – and theelapsed time would have al-lowed the suspects to getaway.
“This is just something alittle different – and itworks,” Meloy said. “It’salso just the right thing todo.”

REAL ESTATETHIS WEEKBy Mark Schupp
LANDSCAPING BOOSTS HOME VALUEAs temperatures warm, homebuyers tend to focus more attentionon the outdoor elements of a potential home. According to severalstudies, revitalizing and upgrading the landscaping can be aneffective way to increase the value and salability of your home.Money Magazine determined that money spent on landscaping
offers an excellent return on its investment, ranking it at the top ofstrategic home improvement projects.A study by the American Society of Landscape Architects revealedthat most homeowners recover from 100 to 200 percent of theirinvestment in professional landscaping services when they selltheir property. Another study by Michigan State University foundthat a nicely landscaped home will increase its sales value by about12 percent.Well positioned trees are particularly effective in increasing a
home’s value. A study by the U.S. Forest Service found that treesalone can add from 3 to 7 percent to the value of the property.
The Society of Real Estate Appraiser noted that attractivelandscaping not only enhanced the value of the home, but alsohelps to expedite a sale. The “curb appeal” of a well landscapedhome creates that vitally important first impression for prospectivebuyers

The College of Mount St. Jo-seph, for the third year, hasbeen selected as a grant recipi-ent of the Robert Wood JohnsonFoundation New Careers inNursing Scholarship Program .
During the 2012-2013 aca-demic year, the Mount will re-ceive $50,000 to support stu-dents in the school’s Master'sGraduate Entry-Level intoNursing program who are tra-ditionally underrepresented inthe field of nursing and are pur-suing a second career in nurs-ing. The NCIN scholarship pro-gram was launched in 2008 bythe Robert Wood Johnson Foun-dation and the American Asso-ciation of Colleges of Nursing to
expand enrollment in acceler-ated degree programs inschools of nursing while in-creasing diversity in the nurs-ing workforce.
Schools receiving grantsprovide scholarships directlyto students from groups under-represented in nursing or fromeconomically disadvantagedbackgrounds. Students who re-ceive the $10,000 NCIN scholar-ships have already earned abachelor’s degree in anotherfield, and are making a careerswitch to nursing through ac-celerated nursing degree pro-grams. These programs pre-pare students to pass the licen-sure exam required for all reg-
istered nurses in as little as12 to18 months .

In a week where the world ten-nis spotlight shines brightest atWimbledon for the Olympics,area high school girls begintryouts with high hopes.
ColerainThe Cardinals posted an 8-11
record in 2011 and fourth-yearhead coach Kelly Carter hopesher squad can crack the .500 bar-rier this season.
Sophomore Haley Curtis re-turns for her second season aftergoing 19-8 in the first doubles po-sition as a freshman. She proba-bly will concentrate on doublesagain, possibly partnering withsenior Morgan Hoehn. Hoehn,who played second doubles as ajunior, had never played tennis atall until her sophomore year.
Senior Maryellen Brandie re-turns and should handle the top ofthe order in singles. Classmate
Kristin Graff is back, too, afterplaying mostly doubles last fall.
Newcomers to watch includesophomore Abigail Steinbeck, upfrom the JV team, and senior Mi-chaela Lowery.
“It will be a bit of a rebuildingyear,” Carter said. “In terms ofthe (Greater Miami Conference)we’re looking at the middle of thepack. It’s an awfully good leaguewith Lakota East and LakotaWest. Sycamore and Mason usu-ally compete for third. We want awinning record in the league.”
McAuleyThe Mohawks graduated
three seniors from a team thatplayed .500 tennis in 2011. Sec-ond-year head coach Ann Lyons ishopeful for a winning 2012.
“They’re all looking forwardto it,” Lyons said of her team.“We’re ready to get started andsee who comes out.”
Junior McKenzie McFeleaplayed first doubles last season
and should be one of the top re-turnees. Also back are sistersBeth and Megan Davish, a seniorand sophomore, respectively.Senior Jessie Bushman addsdepth and experience.
“I think we’ll have a enoughplayers come out when tryoutsbegin (Aug. 6) to field a reserveteam, as well as our varsity. We’llsee who winds up where, but weshould have pretty good num-bers. Lyons said competition inthe Girls Greater CatholicLeague will be typically stiff,with Ursuline and Mount NotreDame as the favorites.
NorthwestThe Knights return three
players from a 2011 squad thattook second in the now-defunctFort Ancient Valley Conferenceand plan to be competitive in theSouthwest Ohio Conference.
Lauri Beyer – once the long-time girls basketball coach atNorthwest – moves into the head
coaching position after servingas varsity assistant last season.
She’ll rely on returning seniorMercedes Heffron in the firstsingles slot. In addition to her fallwith the girls team, Heffronplayed doubles on the boys teamin the spring as a junior.
Also back are junior singlesplayer Amanda Huy and seniorEmily Alvis. Alvis played firstdoubles last year, but may moveinto singles play this season.
“They have experience,”Beyer said. “They’re good girlsand they work hard. I’m happy tohave some returning players whocan help teach the new kids.”
Roger BaconThe Spartans went 6-13 in 2011
and head coach Fred Widmeyer –now in the fourth year of his sec-ond stint as Bacon head coach - ishoping his squad can improve abit on that mark.
Katie Weidner will be a bigfactor. The returning first singles
player is now a senior and hasshown improvement over her ca-reer. Little sister Cassie Weidnerleads a returning sophomore triothat also includes Chelsea Treatsand Abbi Steele.
Widmeyer gets some unex-pected help in form of three sen-iors coming out for the first time– Dantasia Mathews, Taylor Mi-lar and Jude Standifer – as well assome new underclassmen whocould add depth.
“We really want to play thebest we can, improve as much aswe can,” Widmeyer said. “I reallythink Katie can win half of hermatches, which would be reallygood with our schedule. But wewant to get better and hold ourown in the Coaches’ Classic andmaybe make some noise in thesectionals by the end of the sea-son.”
Widmeyer said Hamilton Ba-din should be the team to beat inthe GGCL Central. Bacon opensAug. 14 against Colerain.
The season begins in the sum-mer swelter and melts into thecool of autumn as area girls runafter the ultimate girl of reachingthe state meet in cross country.
ColerainThe Cardinals finished third
in the Greater Miami Conferenceand qualified for the Division Iregional meet in 2011. CoachMark Bierkman said his 2012squad is poised for anotherstrong season.
“What’s great about this year’s
team is that we have four of ourtop five runners back,” he said.“If you have four back, you onlyhave three open spots (on the var-sity), and we have five or six girlswho can compete for those spots.That can only help us.”
Senior Kristen Seiler – a two-time state qualifier who finished12th in Ohio last year – leads thereturning contingent. Also backare a pair of All-GMC and all-dis-trict runners in sophomore Han-nah Tobler and junior KellyWhite. Senior Rachel Kellercould crack the 20-minute barri-
FIRST RUN AT HIGH SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY: PREVIEW 2012
Colerain's Kristen Seiler (760) earned all-Ohio honors for placing 12th inthe Division I state cross country championships with a mark of18:29.99 in Hebron at the National Trail Raceway, Nov. 5, 2011. NICK
They run in packs up anddown neighborhood streets andthrough local parks. They pileup hundreds of miles over thesummer. And now area boysprepare to take on the new highschool cross country season.
ColerainThe Cardinals finished fifth
in the Greater Miami Confer-ence and took seventh in the Di-vision I district meet during a2011 season plagued by injuries.Fourth-year head coach MarkBierkman has a mostly youngteam coming into 2012.
“I know this is a bad expres-sion, but we’re kind of youngand dumb,” he said. “It’s actual-ly a positive. We don’t have a lotof experience, but they’re good.If they have some early success,they won’t know they aren’treally supposed to win and canreally surprise some teams.”
Junior Nate Sizemore leadsthe returning runners afterqualifying for the regional meetand earning all-GMC and all-district honors in 2011. Sopho-more Marcus Price was the topfreshman in the GMC last sea-son.
Senior Calvin Hester ran a4:55 mile in track as a junior,while sophomores Brad Boothand Daniel Snyder each turnedin sub-five miles as freshmen.Shawn Messerschmitt returnsfor his second season to adddepth.
La SalleVeteran coach Frank Russo
enters his 30th season leadingthe Lancers in somewhat unfa-miliar territory.
After finishing third in theGreater Catholic League South,fourth in the Division I districtand ninth in its 25th consecutiveregional appearance – to saynothing of sending Drew Mi-chael to state as an individual –La Salle faces a rebuilding year.
“For the first time in maybe20 years, this is not a seasonwhere we reload, but it’s truly a
rebuilding year for us,” Russosaid. “It’s a year we’re going tohave to be patient developingour younger guys and challeng-ing our older guys to run thebest they can.”
The Lancers have a solidfoundation on which to begin re-building. Senior Jake McNama-ra was third in the GCL last sea-son. Classmate Zach Stross wasa top-five runner for the Lanc-ers before injury kept him outof the district and regionalmeets. Junior Stephen Babcockwas the seventh man most oflast season.
Senior Ryan McPhillip andjuniors Andy Cornelius andAdam Kluesner should chal-lenge for the varsity rotation,along with sophomores DevonSchuerman and Simon Weyer.Freshmen Brad Annaken andPatrick Crase could crack thetop seven, with classmates NateLeinhart and Jason Handleyadding some depth.
Mount HealthyThe Owls are now under the
direction of first-year coachKen Meibers after formercoach and 2011 FAVC Coach of
the Year Craig Eckstein movedon to Little Miami High School.The good news is the Owls re-turn first-team All-FAVC run-ner, senior Jacob Burrell andsecond-teamer David Kulh-mann. Other seniors include Pe-ter Burrell, Holden Hurdle,Evin Nichols and Austin Owens.Providing some depth will be ju-niors Kenneth Glenn and JoeAbrams. The team begins Sept.5 at the Western Brown Invita-tional.
NorthwestFirst-year head coach Kelli
Young will count on a quintet ofreturning runners to anchor herteam.
Jerry Ulm mans the top spotand will be joined by classmateCameron Mueller in the leader-ship role. Sophomore MylesPringle may be the best of theunderclassmen, while juniorsDarrian Williams and JasonSorn bring experience to theteam.
“In a way I’m feeling like thisis a rebuilding process,” Youngsaid. “I’ve come in and done

some growing pains withthe Knights this fall, butshe is hopeful she can builda successful program.
Junior Autumn Baileywill be a big part of theprocess coming off a suc-cessful track season in thespring. After Bailey,though, there are a lot ofquestion marks.
“Not a lot of girls cameback from last year,”Young said. “We have tofind them and train themand teach them cross coun-try can be fun. I think we’llhave a better idea when weofficially get started (Aug.6).”
Roger BaconThe Spartans did not
field a full team last season– only three runners – andtwo of those graduated.Coach Hal Wallace faces asimilar challenge with hissquad in 2012
Senior Annie Spinnen-weber is the only returningrunner for the Spartans;she ran a 24:39.8 in theGirls Greater CatholicLeague meet last fall.
“The girls team will belooking to recruit newmembers this season fromthe student body and in-coming freshman,” Wal-lace said.

Junior Christina Haffeyswitched to cross countryafter playing two seasonsof soccer in the fall andrunning the hurdles intrack this past spring.Classmate Kayley Tepeand sophomore SavannahCarroll also should contendfor the top seven.
Bierkman said the GMCis typically loaded, with theCardinals contending withthe likes of Sycamore, Ma-son and Oak Hills for thetop spot in both the leagueand the city. Colerain getsan early test right out of thegate, running its season-opening meet at SycamoreAug. 20.
McAuleyThe Mohawks were dis-
trict runner-up and tookeighth in the regional meetin 2011; coach Ron Russothinks bigger things await
from all Girls GreaterCatholic League honors inthe fall and a trip to thestate meet in track on the4x800 relay team in thespring.
Senior Olivia Schaeferreturns after missing lastseason because of a stressfracture. She has class-mates Krista Tensing,Brenna Silber, KatherineOrth and Meghan Goldickto help provide leadership
by example.Sophomore Sydney
Lambert was all GGCL inthree events during trackseason and could challengeOlding and Pfeifer at thefront of the pack
“This is arguably thebest overall team I’ve hadsince arriving to McAuleyfour years ago,” Russosaid. “The combination ofOlding, Pfeifer, and Lam-bert provide a really toughgroup up front who are allunderclassmen, with fiveseniors providing thedepth we need to make thisa really special group.

One ofthe main goals, obviously,is lowering our times indi-vidually and as a team. Ihave a lot of guys who playsoccer, too, so just gettingsome more runners outwould be a big help for us.

The Social Security Ad-ministration and the Depart-ment of Defense are workingtogether to improve access todisability benefits for thenation’s Wounded Warriors,service members, veterans,and their dependents.
A new nationwide projectenables Social Security dis-ability case processing sites toreceive military medical rec-ords from multiple DoD facil-ities with a single request to acentralized DoD site. Thisinitiative is in its first phaseof nationwide expansion.

These statesare now receiving electronicmedical records within 72hours, a remarkable improve-ment over the previous aver-age response time of fiveweeks for paper records fromindividual military treatmentfacilities.
The new DoD-Social Secu-rity collaboration consolidatesrequests for medical recordsfrom Social Security to a sin-gle location that has access toDoD records in a central elec-tronic repository. This centrallocation receives and respon-ds to requests for medicalrecords based on Social Secu-rity’s Electronic RecordsExpress (www.socialsecur-ity.gov/ere), another success-ful initiative that offers elec-tronic options for submittinghealth records related to dis-ability claims.
Benefits of the new processinclude:
» faster delivery of DoDmedical records to SocialSecurity,
» a more efficient systemto obtain records,
» a reduction in the time it
takes to make a medical deci-sion on a disability claim, and
» a reduction in the numberof consultative examinations(medical exams requested bySocial Security when addition-al tests or medical records areneeded.)
This is the first step to-wards the long-term goal of afully automated solution ofimproving medical informa-tion sharing using health in-formation technology and theNationwide Health Informa-tion Network Exchange.

It seems that (James) Rowanforgot to tell about the money theboard of trustees is spending onprojects that seems a little oddwhile cutting the Skyline Commu-nity Center’s budget.
What about the money beingspent on the new fueling centerthat is going to be built?
He also forgot to mention thatthey are going to match a grantfrom the state worth some $200,000to tear down old houses in the town-ship. It appears to me that the bud-get is not as bad as they want you tothink.
They have not published thecost of the fueling station, but I'msure its going to be well over$500,000. (Jeff) Ritter and the oth-er board members said no to this afew years ago so why are they flipflopping now? They said the town-ship is at a crossroads as it relatesto investments. Is it that they wantyou to believe the township isbroke so they can fund their petprojects and turning their backs onthe obligations of providing publicsafety and the township roads?

LETTER TO THEEDITOR
Over the last several months,the Fiscal Office has gonethrough many changes, bothwith staff members and withpolicies and procedures. We stillhave one full- and one part-timestaff member in the office. Thenew part-time staff member willstart in mid-August, so we’vebeen operating with just onestaff person in the office. Ournew policies and procedureswill streamline everyday activ-ities and automate processes inan ever-increasing workload.
We have completed an agree-ment with Duke Energy to com-bine 78 accounts into one on-linepayment. This will reduce stafftime on this task by about eighthours per month, which includ-ed opening each envelope, sort-
ing and track-ing the bills viaspreadsheet.Also, outstand-ing creditsfrom previousyears werereconciled andapplied to theaccounts,amounting toapproximately$2,500. In 2011,
we had total payments to Dukeof $356,684.64 and this year sofar, payments are $213,021.32.
A similar consolidation wascompleted for our cellularphone service, where eightaccounts were combined to one.We were able to review ourservice and capture a credit of
over $470. For our phone sys-tem, we have received a $1,300credit for an overpayment. I ampleased that staff is taking thetime to review the invoicesthoroughly and taking thesecredits.
We are increasing the usageof the procurement cards byauthorized users. This will allowus to close accounts at individ-ual vendors and eliminate pay-ing multiple invoices to thesame vendor each month. Oneon-line payment will covermany, many payments to ourvendors. This will also allowemployees to search for the bestprice and not be limited tostores in which we have an openaccount.
Each department is now
responsible for collection of anymoney and depositing it daily atthe bank, in a sealed, securedbag. Copies of the checks andother “backups” are then sent tothe Fiscal Office, with a coversheet. This coversheet will en-sure accurate receipt postingand reconciliation to bank state-ments.
Now for my usual financialupdate: Colerain Township be-gan the second quarter of 2012on April 1, 2012, with a balancebrought forward of$22,677,173.93. During April,May, and June, we had receiptsof $ 9,430,745.78 and expensesof $5,985,260.60. Our balance asof June 30, 2012, was$26,122,659.11. Our GeneralFund has received 59 percent of
the budged revenues and hasmade 41 percent of budgetedexpenditures, as we sit at thehalf-way mark of the year.While this appears to be goodnews, it is only though judiciousspending and budgeting that weare able to achieve this.

“I plan to have lunch and din-ner at Chick-fil-A on Aug. 1 tofirst show my support for DanCathy’s right to state his point ofview, also known as ‘Freedom ofSpeech.’
Second, I hope my supportalso sends a message to the poli-ticians who are trying to takeaway his freedom of speech by il-legally punishing the Chick-fil-Acompany.
“It’s interesting that the may-or of Chicago, Rahm Emmanuel,who until his election was BarackObama’s chief of staff, saidChick-fil-A’s values are not Chi-cago’s values. Apparently MayorEmmanuel forgot that up untilMay 9 of this year, President Oba-ma had the same position on mar-riage as does Dan Cathy! Bigotslike the mayors of Chicago, SanFrancisco and Boston are so
Aug.1 questionDo you agree with Chick-fil-A
President Dan Cathy’s public sup-port of traditional marriage andthe “biblical definition” of fam-ilies, or with government offi-cials inBoston,Chicago,SanFran-cisco and other cities who wantto block the restaurant fromopening new restaurants be-cause of the company’s publicstance? Why?
“CEOs would be wise to keeptheir personal opinions on reli-gion, politics, etc. to themselves.
“Dan Cathy’s views could af-fect Chick-fil-A sales, but so farthose comments have increasedsales a lot.
“The Bible can be interpretedmany ways. I am not sure whyCities would feel the need toblock Chick-fil-A from openingup new restaurants and creatingnew jobs. But then many Politi-cians need their 15 minutes offame. Chick-fil-A currently is notopening in Downtown Cincinnatiotherwise we would be hearingfrom Mayor Mallory for hismonthly 15 minutes. Go Figure!”
T.D.T.
“I do not support the Chick-fil-A president's bigoted outlookon marriage, nor do I support his
company donating money to hategroups accordingly. However, Ido not support blocking Chick-fil-A from opening new restau-rants in cities. Chick-fil-A is al-lowed to support what they wantand people are allowed to dis-agree, but banning their organi-zation crosses a line. Sure, I hopethat their dated, discriminatoryopinions will soon fade out intooblivion as the racist views onmarriage of the1930s did, but I donot support banning their organi-zations in cities across the coun-try.”
J.S.
“I have to agree with Dan, andtake a stand for traditional mar-riage. God has this fantistic plan,man and woman, His idea, notours. If the libs and gays thinkthey are right they have not readthe scriptures lately, or at all, andall we can do is point them to thecorrect way and love them any-way. That’s what Jesus would do.”
D.E.D.
“While I agree that everyonehas the right to their own per-sonal beliefs, as a businessmanDan Cathy has made a horren-dous mistake. He is responsibleto the 1,600-plus franchise own-ers who may take an economic
loss due to the company presi-dent overt stand.
“His first obligation should beto his employees and franchiseowners. Personal religious andpolitical beliefs should be keptout of the business community.
“I had clients that I sold fordecades that while they knew mygolf game stunk, I loved good din-ing, etc ... they never were awareof either my religious or politicalbeliefs. That is the way businessshould be conducted.”
J.Z.
“I think it’s terrible for anyopinion other than the liberal leftto be labeled by the media as big-oted and wrong. How many re-tractions and apologies do wehear from everyone who does notshare the same opinion as theleft?
“I personally don’t care if aperson is gay or straight, black orwhite, rich, poor, or any other la-bel one can think of. It’s the char-acter and behavior of the individ-ual.
“If you don’t want people tohave an opinion, then just don’tmention it. If anyone thinks thatboycotting a successful foodchain makes anyone more sym-pathetic to the cause, they’resorely mistaken.”
blinded by their hatred of theirperceived enemies they can’tthink straight - no pun intended.
R.V.
“And what is wrong with fam-ily values? If Chick-fil-A Presi-dent Cathy supports these issuefor religious terms, so be it!
“His restaurants are not openon Sundays so families can re-group as they used to do manyyears ago, and come to think of it,Hobby Lobby has the same val-ues. If the mentioned cities wantto keep Mr. Cathy from openingfuture restaurants, he has theability to move elsewhere andthose cities will fall short of need-ed tax revenues from Chic-fil-A.He wins, they lose!”
O.H.R.
“I completely support Chick-fil-A for their courage to supporttraditional marriage. I find it tobe pretty ironic that groups thatclaim to promote ‘tolerance’show can themselves be totallyintolerant of those who disagreewith them. The same thing is hap-pening with the Boy Scouts. Ourfamily plans to be eating a lot ofchicken sandwiches down theroad.”

Steve Kleeman, M.D.,of Monfort Heightshas traveled widely,with several recenttrips to Honduras to
But his recent trip to Haiticompletely humbled him.
The people of Gros-Morne inHaiti were the poorest he’s everseen. It’s a country without aninfrastructure in an area denud-ed of trees. It lacks roads, po-lice, electricity and adequatemedical care. And even thoughHaiti is a Caribbean island, andGros-Morne is about 30 milesfrom the sea, the majority ofpeople eat goat, rice and beansbecause there are no roads totransport, nor electricity torefrigerate fish.
Kleeman, director of theurogynecology division at GoodSamaritan Hospital, with officesin Clifton and West Chester,spent April 21- 28 along withurogynecology fellow and sur-geon Catrina Crisp and volun-teers at Light of the World Char-ity providing general gynecol-ogy and pelvic prolapse surgeryfor women.
Kleeman and Crisp delivereda baby via C-section for a wom-an who had been laboring for acouple of days. They also per-formed basic general surgery,but had to stop each day bymid-afternoon.
Not because there wasn’tneed, but because generator-provided electricity was unreli-able.
Conditions were primitive:the only operating room lightswere ones provided by head-lamps they wore. Hot water wasnon-existent, and there was noair conditioning despite 95-degree temperatures and 90percent humidity. Surgeonswere made even hotter by barri-er-proof surgical gowns; it wasso hot Kleeman cut off his surgi-cal pants at the knees. Doctorsand nurses went home in theevenings, so hospital patientswere left alone at night to becared for by family members.
“These kinds of trips arealways worthwhile,” he said.“There is the obvious joy onegets when giving to those with amedical need, but those peoplewhom we consider poor have atremendous outlook on life andcan teach us in the first worldmany things, like the impor-tance of a genuine smile, a kindgesture, sharing what you havewith others despite your ownneeds – or being prayed for.Watching a loved one sit with apatient and tend to their needswhen nothing else can be done ishumbling. These simple acts aremore powerful than any amountof money or goods that we canbring.”
The Haitian system is prettybroken, Kleeman said. “Actually,there is no system at all. Thereis no form of government, nopaved roads, and in the AlmaMater Hospital, where we were,patients pay a fee, pick a num-ber, and wait in order to be eval-uated. The hospital providedbasic care: pediatrics, materni-ty, radiology, two operatingrooms and a cholera ward.”
Cholera is considered bymany to be a 19th century dis-ease, but it’s prevalent in thirdworld countries today. It’scaused by eating food or drink-ing water contaminated by thefeces of an infected person. Andwhile cholera can be treatedfairly quickly in first-worldcountries by rehydration, inthird world countries people dieof it rather quickly.
People in Haiti use the riversto clean themselves and for
drinking water. It was not un-usual to see children and adultsbathing naked in the river, saidKleeman.
Gros-Morne is a 4.5 hour busride north from Port au Prince.Kleeman said roads were pavedfor half the way, and the rest ofthe way they bumped over dirtroads and drove through creeks.
It was the fourth annual hu-manitarian surgical trip Klee-man has taken, his third withLight of the World Charities ofPalm City, Florida. Good Samar-
itan Hospital donated equip-ment, sutures and trays of in-struments.
The group stayed in a safehouse next door to the hospital.Because of the extreme povertyand lack of any governmentalorganization, such as police, itwas unsafe to be outside atnight.
“It’s not unusual to see peoplewith different maladies walkingdown the street or with goiters,”he said. “There is little medicaltreatment available, and most
people have basic needs likefood, water and clothing.”
Each morning, Kleeman, aparishioner of St. Ignatius Loyo-la Catholic Church in MonfortHeights, attended 6:30 a.m.mass. He noticed that althoughHaitians were very poor, peopledressed up and presented them-selves well, with women wear-ing their best dresses and menin their nicest slacks and shirts.But much of their clothing wasold and worn. Kleeman wasmoved to give away all his cloth-ing except what he was wearingto the housekeeper and somepatients before he returnedhome.
One heartbreaking incidentpointed up the real tragedy ofpoor medical care in Haiti. Awoman about six months preg-nant having seizures was car-ried into the hospital on a bedsheet by her family. She wasgiven an IV. Kleeman diagnosedher with severe eclampsia, acondition in pregnancy relatedto hypertension that can affectabout 10 percent of women.
“Unfortunately, we thoughtshe was being prepared fordelivery, but nothing was donefor her for an entire day. Shewas eventually transferred inthe back of a pickup truck for a
30-mile ride to another hospital,”he said, his voice breaking withemotion. “It was heartbreakingto see her two children andextended family crying allaround her.”
Kleeman wanted to movetoward delivery, but the localdoctor in charge suggested shebe transferred to another hospi-tal because they had a pediatri-cian. “The baby would havedied, but mother might havelived,” he said, “and it botheredme to no end. I kept thinkingabout her in the back of thatpickup truck going over thoseroads. I don’t think she made it.”Because of the lack of organiza-tion and communication in Haiti,he was never able to find outwhether or not she survived. Hesaid he still thinks of that wom-an.
Despite the helpless feelingthat they were unable to ac-complish as much as they hopedfor, they plan to continue surgi-cal missions. He’ll go to Hondu-ras and Tanzania next year, bothwith Light of the World.
Volunteering helps you keepa balance in life and appreciateall you’ve been given, Kleemansaid. “We think we have prob-lems and stressors in the U.S.,but these people just want to getthrough the day.
“It’s very humbling to seethat level of poverty and not feelhelpless in the face of it. It’s notoften that you are given theopportunity to give somethingwith no expectation of return. Ithink the poor help us under-stand life and give us muchmore than what we are able togive them.”
Kleeman plans to found aCincinnati-based charity thatprovides humanitarian surgicalmissions. He and Rachel Pauls,M.D., are also directors at Cin-cinnati Urogynecology Asso-ciates, .

A young man is lucky to be treated for cholera at the Alma Mater Hospital in Gros-Morne, Haiti. Although Americans think of cholera as a 19thcentury disease, poor water sanitation in Haiti has greatly increased the number of cases there. THANKS TO R.J. ASHLEY

In early spring, weplanted red and Yukongold baking potatoes. Ithas been fun digging up“buried treasure,” espe-cially for the little ones.
They arealwayssurprisedto see somany pota-toes comefrom oneplant. Andin spite ofthe heat,potatoesare onecrop that
have grown really well.Today I made a batch ofpotato pancakes to goalong with our bacon andeggs. And our corn isfinally in after months ofloving care from my hus-band, Frank. We growSilver Queen and like toeat it simply with butterand salt. Our grandson,Luke, loves it with mayoand hot sauce - go figure!
Rita’s potatopancakes
Adding baking sodagives these a bit of a lift. Ifyou like, use frozen shred-ded hash browns, thawedand drained very well.
Mix potatoes with onionand eggs. Stir in season-ings, flour and soda. Heat¼-inch oil in skillet overmedium-high heat. Makemounds of potatoes inskillet and flatten. Cookuntil golden brown on bothsides and cooked through.
Blue Ribbonchocolate zucchinibread/cake
I get lots of requestsfor this when zucchiniseason is in. For Marilyn,an Eastgate reader, andLawrence, a Kentuckyreader, this is in my “Reci-pe Hall of Fame.” A crossbetween bread and cake. Aversion of this won firstprize at our fair -it’s thatgood.

all you have is dark, that’sokay)
2 large eggs1-2 teaspoons vanilla¾ to 1 cup semi-sweet
chocolate chips (minichips are nice)
Preheat oven to 350.Spray 9-inch by 5-inch loafpan. Set aside shreddedzucchini. Whisk togetherflour, cocoa, baking soda,baking powder, salt, cinna-mon and allspice. Setaside. Beat oil, sugars,eggs and vanilla until wellblended, and fold in zuc-chini. Add flour mixture,mixing just until com-bined. Fold in chips. Bakeuntil toothpick inserteddeep in center comes outclean, 55 to 65 minutes.Cool 10 minutes on wire

Tip from Rita’skitchen
In this recipe, measurecocoa, then sift. If a recipesays “sifted cocoa pow-der,” etc., then sift beforemeasuring.
Easy no-silkmicrowaved corn inhusk
I first heard about thislast year. Polly Campbelljust wrote about it, so Itried this method. Itworks, though I still like toboil my corn with a bit ofhoney added to water.Anyway, leave corn un-husked, and for each earmicrowave on high 4 min-utes or so. Corn will behot, so be careful. Cut offbottom, grab top andshake corn out vertically.It will be clean with nosilk!

Cincinnati Associationfor theBlind&VisuallyIm-paired (CABVI) and Clo-vernook Center for theBlind & Visually Impairedare joining forces to re-mind the community totake care of their eyes.
Exposure to the sun’sharmful UV rays increasesthe risk of macular degen-eration, cataracts, pterygi-um, skin cancer around the
eyelids and corneal sun-burn. In order to avoiddamage to the eyes, Pre-vent Blindness America(PBA) recommends wear-ing a wide brimmed hat orcap and eyewear that ab-sorbs UV rays anytime youmay be exposed sunlight.
“It’s important to notethat people of all ages, in-cluding children, are atrisk of damaging their eye-
sight if they are not takingthe proper precautionswhen exposing themselvesto sunlight,” said RobinUsalis CEO of ClovernookCenter.
According to www.pre-ventblindness.org, the riskof sun related eye prob-lems is higher for peoplewho spend long hours inthe sun, have had cataractsurgery or have certain
retina disorders or peoplewho are on certain medi-cines, such as tetracycline,sulfa drugs, birth controlpills, diuretics and tran-quilizers that increase theeye’s sensitivity to light.
