She said her advice tonext year’s senior classis to not stress aboutschool.

“Other people beforeyou have felt the samestress and made itthrough so don’t spendthe whole year worry-ing,” she said. “Remem-ber to have fun. Highschool doesn’t last forev-er.”

Rhein, 18, the daugh-ter of Jenny and DanRhein of Green Town-ship, said she plans tostudy pre-med this fallat the University of Day-ton.

“The biggest chal-lenge of my high schoolcareer was balancingthe extracurricular ac-tivities with my schoolwork,” she said. “I knewthat both were impor-tant and both were

things I wanted to excelin. At times, however, itwas very difficult to pri-oritize the several thingsthat I wished to do.”

She was a member ofMercy’s soccer team,served on the CampusMinistry board and wasinvolved with the Stu-dent Recruiting Com-mittee, Student Council,Mock Trial and Fresh-men Focus.

Rhein said the sup-port she received fromher teachers and familymade the most impact onher high school experi-ence.

“Both were constant-ly pushing me to be thebest person and studentI could be,” she said.

Her advice to seniorsis to be involved both in-side and outside ofschool, she said.

“Senior year goes byway too quickly, it’s bestthat you spend it doingthings that interest you,”Rhein said. “It’s a greattime to figure out whatyou want to do in collegeand for the rest of yourlife.”

successful, she said.The many course offer-

ings at Oak Hills made thebiggest difference in herhigh school experience,she said.

“Oak Hills offered mea huge amount of opportu-nities,” she said. “Overmy four years, I took 13Advanced Placementclasses and learned a widevariety of topics.”

For incoming seniorswho want to make themost of their final year of

high school, Yang’s adviceis to not slack off becausethey think they are fin-ished with school.

“Work diligently onyour college applicationsbecause it will just hurtyou in the end if you pro-crastinate,” she said, not-ing she had about 20 col-lege essays to write theday before they were due.

“After college applica-tions you can enjoy your-self more, but do not let gocompletely.

“Also, for anyonefreaking out about collegeand possibly getting re-jections, just know that itwill all work out in the end

so do not let the panic getto your head,” she said.

Tam, 18, the daughterof Chung and Yan Tam ofGreen Township, said shewill attend the Universityof Cincinnati this fall,where she will major inpre-medicine.

She said her biggestchallenge in high schoolwas battling “senioritis,”on top of applying to col-leges.

“Being surrounded bygreat friends and teach-ers that made me who Iam now,” made the mostdifference in her highschool experience, shesaid.

Active outside theclassroom at Oak Hills,she served as a class rep-resentative and a KeyClub officer, and was amember of Student Coun-cil, Interalliance, ChineseClub and Model UN.

Tam’s advice to nextyear’s seniors is to havefun, but also work hardand do well academically.

“Senior year will fly bysuper fast, so be sure to goto all of the school dancesand to as many seniorevents as possible,” shesaid. “You don’t realizehow much you’ll miss ev-eryone until the last weekof school.”

JUNE 17, 2015 • WESTERN HILLS PRESS • 7ANEWS

Today really was a simple countrypleasures kind of day.

Son Shane brought his three girlsover and I took the two oldest ones,Eva, 7 and Emerson, almost 3, for awalk down to the East Fork river. Thegirls caught crawdads, tiny fish andscooped up lots of shells and othertreasures from the shallow water.

I didn’t realize so much time hadpassed by until Shane came walkingdown with baby Ellery in his arms.“Time for Emerson’s nap”, he said.

So we went back to the house and eventhough Shane didn’t stay for lunch I did have

all the makings ready for this simplepizza.

I was also going to photograph thegirls making the pizza for this column.But since that didn’t happen, I’ll share aphoto of the reason why: two little girlsenjoying, as I said, “simple country plea-sures.”

Kids can make easysunflower pizza

Sunflower pizzaThe little ones will love making this. Good even with just cheese.

1 can flaky biscuits, 10 oz.Pizza sauceMozzarellaOptional toppings: pepperoni, chopped bell peppers, mushrooms,

onions, etc.

Preheat oven to 400. Separate dough into 10 biscuits. Place 1 biscuit incenter of cookie sheet lined with foil and sprayed. Arrange remaining bis-cuits in circle, edges slightly overlapping, around center biscuit. Gently presswith your had into a 10-inch circle. This makes your sunflower. Spread a thinlayer of sauce on top. Sprinkle with your choice of toppings. End with top-ping of mozzarella. Bake 12-15 minutes. To serve, pull apart.

Mediterranean chicken with orange marmaladesauce

Lately I’ve been using thighs for this recipe. I promised this recipe to ayoung man whose name I don’t remember. He stopped to chat with me atthe store. Funny that I can’t remember his name but do remember veryclearly what he wanted, so here it is: a really good tasting, fairly easy, maindish for chicken.

4-6 boneless skinless breast halves or thighsSalt, pepper, flourOlive oil3/4 to 1 cup white wine3 tablespoons lemon juice1 heaping teaspoon minced garlic or more1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes or more1/4 cup thawed undiluted orange juiceUp to 1-1/2 cups orange marmalade

Salt and pepper chicken, Dredge in flour. Saute in oil, browning wellon both sides. Keep warm. Pour wine in pan and cook, stirring to bringbrown bits up. Add lemon juice, garlic, red pepper, and half of the orangejuice. Bring to boil and cook about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 cup marmalade andrest of orange juice.

Taste and add more marmalade if desired. Serve on bed of rice orcouscous with sauce poured over chicken.

Five minute no-cook pizza sauceGo to taste on the flavorings. Use a food processor or whisk by hand.

Thanks to the reader, who shared this recipe. “I like it because there’s nocooking involved”, she said. Freezes well.

Blend together:

15 oz. can tomato sauce6 oz. can tomato paste1-2 teaspoons minced garlic2-3 teaspoons dried oregano - start with 21-1/2 to 2 teaspoons dried basilOnion powder to taste - start with 3/4 teaspoon3/4 teaspoon sugar - this helps tone down some of the acid of the

tomatoes

June 10 questionWhat should Cincinnati city

leaders and residents do tocurtail the recent trends of gun-related crimes in the city?

“Well it’s like the NRA al-ways says, ‘An armed societyis a polite society,’ and rightnow I think that philosophyneeds to be put in place.

“Instead of doing the typicalmiddle of the road, liberal,‘gun buy back’ programs, Ithink council needs to look todo a gun distribution programto all the citizens of Cincinnati.I know background checks areanathema to the NRA andGOP, so I’d say push thoseaside and figure a small seg-ment of the population may getguns that shouldn’t have them.

“However if we can arm therest of the citizens, they canthen be there to curtail andeliminate these gun-relatedcrimes and criminal elements.

“Also with the All StarGame coming up, this strategywill make out of town folksfeel safer, knowing that a largesegment of the population iscarrying and ready to defend

not only their own God-givenrights but also those of ourout-of-town guests.”

C.S.

“Though stop and frisk gota bad name in New York, itcertainly found a lot of non-lawabiding citizens with guns. Toemphasize our intent to en-force the existing laws, theremust be clearly understoodconsequences for anyone us-ing a gun in the commission ofa crime. I believe it would bemore correct to refer to recenttrends of people-relatedcrimes. Perhaps, there shouldbe more activity on the part ofcommunity members to con-

trol those people.”D.B.

“It is time for the Cincinnatileaders to talk with past lead-ers with proven records ofreducing murder rates, likeperhaps the guys in NYC thatmade such drastic changes inthat murder capital back in the‘90s. Probably best if theyavoid chats with the folks inFerguson or Baltimore,though. That was t definitelynot the way to go. We can dobetter, but we better hurry upbecause the summer is justgoing to get hotter.”

M.J.F.

“Cincinnati has now hiredtwo police chiefs from outsidethe city. The sad part is Cincin-nati had a qualified in-housecandidate better suited to thetask (assistant chief Paul Hum-phries). The first chief theyhired (Craig) could not passthe Ohio State police exam andthe second one has failed topass muster (Blackwell). May-be it is time to hire someonewho knows the city.”

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat is your favorite summervacation story (something thatyou personally experienced)?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.

At the Price Hill HistoricalSociety and Museum thereare many cool pictures of“what used to be.” Too often, Ilook in this West Side mirrorand say, “We should havetaken better care of our-selves. What were we think-

ing?” Today,we are in themidst of a“better care”moment. I amdetermined torecord it; sothat our suc-cessors willknow exactlywhat we werethinking.

I’m talkingabout the small business hubbetween Nebraska and Pe-dretti Avenues dubbed the‘EOL’ because it was at theEnd Of the streetcar Line.Once a compendium of cornerstores, the EOL serviced theneighborhoods of Overlookand Hermosa Park, developedby Hiram Rulison and HenryLackman respectively. Bothwere prominent civic leaders– Hiram an elected prose-cuting attorney and Henry amember of the family thatstarted the Lackman BreweryCo., which later became Hu-depohl. Henry built for him-self what is today betterknown as the George RemusMansion - home of the infa-mous bootlegger which stoodjust down the street, a conve-nient walk away.

The EOL is where localresidents did their shoppingand socializing before walk-ing home after their down-town streetcar commute.Bakeries, grocery stores,barber shops, a drug store,deli, bank, hardware store,and of course the Crow’s Nestwere among the Mom and Popstores that serviced their

daily needs. There was abeautiful multi-story apart-ment building, where the stripmall is now, which helped tomake the EOL a trendy placeto live, work and play.

Overtime, wanting some-thing new and different, thetown’s people forgot the EOLStory; its brick and mortarcalligraphy is now deemed“blight” – evidenced by theOverlook Building, at thecorner of Overlook and WestEighth. Built in 1927, duringthe Remus era, its mixed-uselive/work lifestyle optionadded to a neighborhood vibethat was in vogue at the time.

Thankfully, there’s a newsheriff in town. Ken Smith,aka Price Hill Will, is thehired gun entrusted to cleanup the Old West. Believing

that the EOL does not warrantOTR-like investment, hisquick-draw solution to theblight problem is to bring theOverlook Building down,hoping that another strip-mallwill not rise in its place.

The pendulum of time andtrend has swung once again.The dreams and ambitions ofa new generation favors theEOL experience. The town’speople are now thinking,“Maybe we should restore theold Overlook; to make it coolagain! To give the EOL story ahappy ‘it’s worth caring about’ending.”

JimGraweGUEST COLUMNIST

Responding to Betty Ka-muf’s reply to my recent let-ter, I did a little digging into

her claim thatNative Amer-icans losttheir land tothe UnitedStates in theRevolution.

In spite ofsignificantNative Amer-ican aid to theBritish, theEuropean

treaty negotiations that con-cluded the war in 1783 had noNative American representa-tives.

Considering the Ohio andIroquois Indians had not sur-rendered nor suffered a finalmilitary defeat, the UnitedStates claimed that its victoryover the British meant a vic-tory over Native Americansas well. Not surprisingly, dueto their lack of representationduring treaty negotiations,Native Americans receivedvery poor treatment in thediplomatic arrangements.The British retained theirNorth American holdingsnorth and west of the GreatLakes, but granted the newAmerican republic all landbetween the AppalachianMountains and the Mississip-pi River.

In their succeeding negoti-ations with the Native Amer-ican, the Americans attempt-ed to convince them that bychoosing the losing side in thestruggle they had lost all theirrights. The Native Americanswere simply told they wereconsidered a conquered peo-ple throughout the entirecountry.

Yet Native American

groups like the Oneida, one ofthe Iroquois nations that al-lied with the winning Amer-icans, were forced to give uptraditional lands with othernative groups.

Four years after the 1783Treaty, the Continental Con-gress passed the NorthwestOrdinance of 1787. It createdthe Northwest Territory, thefirst organized territory ofthe United States, from landsbeyond the AppalachianMountains, between BritishCanada and the Great Lakesto the north and the Ohio Riv-er to the south. The upperMississippi River formed theTerritory's western boundary.

Interestingly, that ordi-nance stated in part:

“The utmost good faithshall always be observed to-wards the Indians; their landand property shall never betaken from them withouttheir consent; and in theirproperty, rights, and liberty,they shall never be invaded ordisturbed.”

Apparently the Congress,in 1878, didn’t agree with theposition the Native Amer-icans lost their land to theUnited States in the Revolu-tion.

I still haven’t been able tofind any historical evidencethe Native Americans wereever willing sellers nor werethey ever paid compensation,in money, for their ancestralland.

At least the Pilgrims paid$24 in beads and trinkets forManhattan and the deal alsoincluded the Bronx and Statentoo, according to the old Rog-ers and Hart song.

Did NativeAmericans losetheir land inRevolution?

KeShawn Foley hadone reception in his four-year football career at Ba-tavia High School. Justone, back freshman year.

Well, make that careertotal eight after June 11 –unofficially at least.

The former Bataviastar caught seven passesfor 149 yards and threetouchdowns to help leadthe East All-Stars to a 40-20 win against the West inthe 40th annual South-western Ohio FootballCoaches Association RonWoyan East-West All-Starfootball game, Thursday,at Kings High School.

“I’m just having fun,”Foley said. “It’s an all-stargame.”

Foley racked up morethan 100 touchdownspassing and rushing in astellar, three-time all-con-ference career at Batavia…as a quarterback. No re-ceiving touchdowns.Thursday night, though,he lined up wide as a re-ceiver more often thannot and looked like a sea-

soned vet.“It was pretty easy,”

said the 6-foot-3, 225-pound Foley, who addedthat he plans to play quar-terback this fall at Hock-

ing College. “I love play-ing wide receiver. It’s likebackyard football.”

Milford quarterbackDrew Ashcraft helpedmake it easy. Foley was on

the receiving end of a 36-yard pass from Ashcrafton the East’s first posses-sion, setting up a RyanWahler (Sycamore)touchdown reception.

Ashcraft found Foleyagain on the next posses-sion deep down the leftside for a 27-yard touch-down pass. Withrow QBTra’Von Barnes threw a35-yard TD strike to Foleyin the second quarter toput the East up 19-6.

The East passing at-tack was on target allnight with receivers Fo-ley, Wahler, DoryanBeach (Withrow) andReid Finley (Walnut Hills)consistently makinggreat adjustments whilethe ball was in the air.Wahler totaled 102 yardson four catches.

Ashcraft, separated by223 days from his Milfordsquad’s 2014 season-end-ing win against Loveland,looked in midseason form,completing 8 of 14 passesfor 183 yards and the twotouchdowns in the firstquarter.

“It’s a good feeling,”Ashcraft said. “You missit a lot. You don’t reallyknow how much you missit until after you strap onyour pads that last time.”

He finished with 366passing yards and five

touchdowns, both new all-star game records.

“It means a lot, actual-ly,” Ashcraft said. “Be-cause I’ve been workingmy (butt) off trying to getto this game.”

Diving interceptionsby Asa Palmer (Wyoming)and Kiowa Whaley (NorthCollege Hill) helped theWest defense slow theEast passing game in thethird quarter. MountHealthy running backHjavier Pitts cashed inthe Palmer pick with a 1-yard touchdown run to cutthe deficit to 19-12, but theWest stars could never getthe lead.

Edgewood quarter-back Trace Reynoldsthrew touchdown passesto Pitts and Fred Riley(Fairfield) to lead theWest offense.

The East stars out-gained West 458 to 206 intotal yardage. T.J. Beach(Amelia) led the East de-fense with five tackles,two for loss.

The win marked theEast’s eighth in the lastnine years. The East leadsthe series 22-18.

Thousands of adults,teens and kids have achance to earn prizes bybecoming an All-StarReader at the PublicLibrary of Cincinnati andHamilton County.

This year, the Libraryis making it easier thanever to participate in theprogram, which has beena part of summer at theLibrary for more than 40years.

Readers can get start-ed at cincinnatilibra-ry.org. The site includesa reading tracker, a listof all the available prizesand reading recommen-dations for all ages.

Then, from now untilJuly 31, participantssimply keep track of allthe reading they do. Mag-azines, newspapers, text-books, eBooks, eAudio-books, and reading aloudto a child all count to-ward the reading total.Readers can collect priz-es for each level theycomplete by visiting anyLibrary location.

Summer Reading ispart of the Library’scomprehensive SummerLearning program whichincludes Brain Campsand Summer Lunches tocombine reading, one-on-one instruction and nutri-tion. This innovativeapproach aims to educatethe whole child and pro-mote lifelong learningfor adults.

The Library is also in

its second year of a part-nership with the SummerCamp Reading, whichpairs at-risk studentswith specialized teachersfor one-on-one instruc-tion. Children selectedfor this program by theirschool district will cometo one of seven branchlibraries for six weeks ofintensive reading study.

“I saw an excitementfor reading developingespecially from some ofthe reluctant readers,”said Denise Bentley,intervention specialistfor Cincinnati PublicSchools, who worked ata Summer Camp Read-ing location in 2014.“They will just blossomwith their reading skillsand their love of read-ing.”

However familieschoose to participate inSummer Learning, it’sespecially important forchildren to read over thesummer. While it’s greatto slide into home plateduring a baseball game,it’s not so great whenkids hit the “summerslide” and lose up to twomonths of reading andmath skills.

Plus, when parents orcaregivers and childrenread together it’s a dou-ble play and counts to-wards both of your Sum-mer Reading tallies.

For details on Sum-mer Reading, stop byany Library location,call 513-369-6900, orvisit www.Cincinnati-Library.org.

Throughout the monthof June, the Cincinnatichapter of Guitars forVets, together with SamAsh Music Stores, willcollect donations as partof its mission to providefree guitars and lessonsto Veterans strugglingwith Post TraumaticStress Disorder.

“It’s restorative; it’shealing,” said RichardHutchinson, coordinatorfor the Cincinnati chap-ter of Guitars for Vets.“There’s a sense of har-

mony that comes fromplaying guitar. But it’smore than just spendingtime learning an instru-ment; it’s taking time toshare life experiences.”

Today, there may beas many as 400,000 ser-vice members livingwith “the invisiblewounds of war,” such asPTSD. But many arefinding hope in an un-likely place: behind thewood and strings of anacoustic guitar. Weeklyguitar lessons providedby volunteers at theCincinnati VA MedicalCenter are designed tohelp students learn attheir own pace. Aftercompleting 10 weeks oflessons, graduates arepresented with their

very own acoustic guitar.From there, weeklygroup sessions provideVeterans a communalatmosphere to talk andcontinue to play musicwith peers who haveshared similar experi-ences.

Between June 1 and30, the public is encour-aged to donate to Guitarsfor Vets online or at SamAsh Music Stores, 11805Commons Drive inSpringdale,. For $1,names can be added to adonation wall of symbol-ic guitar picks at SamAsh. The store will alsocollect used guitars andmusical equipment. Forlarger monetary dona-tions, the public is en-couraged to gift securely

online atwww.guitarsforvets.org.

“We can always usemore donors and volun-teers to reach more Vet-erans,” Hutchinson said.
