What was once a blank, whitewall has been transformed into awork of art depicting the peopleand images from throughoutWestwood’s history.
ArtWorks, a nonprofit organi-zation that connects artists of allages with opportunities in the artsthrough inspiring apprenticeships,community partnerships and pub-lic art, has completed the creationof a mural on a wall at HenkeWinery, at the corner of Harrisonand Epworth avenues.
“It is a source of pride,” saidJohn Eby, a member of WestwoodWorks and one of about a dozenresidents who served on the com-mittee who worked with ArtWorksartist Jessie Boone to develop themural’s design.
“It will present a positive imageof Westwood throughout theentire city.”
Eby said the project has provid-ed an opportunity to engage thecommunity and give somethingbeautiful back to residents. Themural also helps with the neigh-borhood’s goal of improving thearts in Westwood, he said.
ArtWorks selected Westwoodthis summer as one of the neigh-borhoods to receive a muralthrough its MuralWorks project.
“Our goal is to put at least onemural in every Cincinnati neigh-borhood,” said Tamara Harkavy,director of ArtWorks.
This year marked the fourthsummer for the project, she said.Twenty-eight murals have been
created in 22 neighborhoods sincethe program’s inception.
In addition to Westwood, sixother city neighborhoods receivedmurals this summer.
Through the program, Art-Works employs teenage and pro-fessional artists, as well as workswith community members, to cre-ate murals, Harkavy said. Themurals speak to the city’s history,imagination and aspirations whileserving as powerful agents ofneighborhood transformation,civic pride and identity.
Boone worked for five weeks
painting the mural with a team ofeight teenage artists, many ofwhom live in Westwood.
“I am pleased with the mural,”Boone said.
“I think it looks great and wereceived a lot of positive respons-es from the community while wewere working on it.”
She said this was the first timeshe managed a MuralWorks projectand she was impressed with thework ethic of the teen artists whoworked as apprentices on the piece.
“I had a great summer,” shesaid.
“I enjoyed working with all theapprentices. I thought they wereall wonderful.”
Eby said the hard work theartists put into the mural is clearlyvisible.
“I was really impressed withhow well they did,” he said. “Theydid a great job.”
ArtWorks plans to officiallyunveil and dedicate the mural dur-ing the second annual WestwoodArt Show, which is set for Satur-day, Sept. 18, at Westwood TownHall.

Catching upLittle Highlander fourth-grade football player Collin Cox makes a catch during practiceJuly 29. This was the first week of team practice for the Little Highlanders of the OakHills Youth football Association.
She started in pull-ups at theage of 2 and even a surgery forscoliosis that left her with twotitanium rods in her back and anadmonition that a dance careerwas not in her cards hasn’tdimmed her pursuit of the craft.
With the determination anddiscipline that generally accompa-nies the gift of dance, shestomped right by that warning,and is now dancing toward afuture in entertainment.
A big jete toward that goal waslanding a role on the second sea-son of Taking the Stage last year.
“Taking the Stage,” canceledafter last season, was a realityshow produced by Nick Lachey.The show followed high schoolstudents at The School for Cre-ative and Performing Arts, hisalma mater.
Cameras followed a select half-dozen students from auditionthrough their year at school.
Flinchbaugh had seen theshow, and decided to audition forthe school.
She was not only accepted toSCPA, but was cast in the show’ssecond season.
“It was surreal at first,” shesaid. “I was new to the school,and there are cameras followingme all over the place. It was a lotto take in. But I loved the school.Everyone was so serious abouttheir craft, like I am. It was awe-some and challenging and I lovedit.”
She is returning to Oak HillsHigh School for her senior year,but says she treasures her year atSCPA.
Future looks bright for‘Taking the Stage’ star
JENNIE KEY/STAFF
Anna-Lisa Flinchbaugh cuddles with thefamily’s golden retreiver Bella. The Bridgetownteen will have a whirlwind of activity in comingweeks, culminating with an invitation to theTeen Choice Awards, where she and other castmembers of “Taking the Stage” are nominatedfor best reality show.
High school students andtheir families are invited to“discover” the College ofMount St. Joseph at Discov-ery Day from 9:30 p.m.-

Never underestimate thepower of a group of youngpeople who have a commongoal.
That basically describesthe youth, ages 6 through
18, involved in the St.Ignatius Parish summer the-ater experience calledKidzShow, which gives theyouth an opportunity to beinvolved in theater arts.
KidzShow is in its 16thyear and, while the programhas traditionally been a typeof variety show built aroundan original story, this sum-mer’s production is an actu-al musical, Rodgers andHammerstein’s “Cinderella.”
Something else that’snew this year is a collabora-tion with St. Catharine ofSiena School in Westwood.
St. Catharine studentBert Dole is in the show andparishioner Treva Lambingcreated the costumes.
Also from St. Catharine is
the show’s music director,Bob Conda, and a few of thesets pieces were designedby retired St. Catharine artteacher Marie Jones.
The show is directed byJenny Bates, music teacherat St. Catharine, and her
daughter Emily Bates, bothparishioners at St. Ignatius.
There will be a cameoappearance in the show bySt. Ignatius technologyteacher Bill Magness and byFather John Wall, retiredclergy assistant at St.Ignatius.
And, St. Ignatius SchoolPrincipal Tim Reilly is a for-mer principal at St.Catharine School.
“Cinderella” will be per-formed by KidzShow at7:30 p.m. Friday and Satur-day, Aug. 6 and 7, atMcAuley’s Performing ArtsTheatre, 6000 OakwoodAve., College Hill.
Tickets are only $5 andcan be purchased at the the-ater before the shows.
She says the show cap-tured her junior year accu-rately.
“It was a little rocky,”she said. “I went through abreakup with my boyfriend,then jumped into anotherrelationship … It was hard.”
And dance was hard.She has studied with AmyVandergriff for her wholedance career, and wanted tocontinue while doing theshow.
She had classes at schooland was trying to keep up
with her dance team, aswell.
Flinchbaugh said notknowing what to expectfrom the show was nervewracking, as well.
“It’s like watching ahome video. It’s embarrass-ing at first, and then it’s justfunny. They film a lot ofhours and you don’t knowwhat they are going to use,but when I saw what theydid, it was spot-on.”
She says the opportunitywas stressful, but it alsopushed her to grow.
“It was such a turn-around for me. I think ithelped me understand whatreally is important, and notto worry about what otherpeople think,” she said.
“It helped me feel morecomfortable who I am as aperson and as a performer,”said Flinchbaugh.
“Taking the Stage” isover, but it has led to otheropportunities.
In March, she spentthree weeks in New Yorktaping episodes for “One
Life to Live.”And “Taking the Stage”
is nominated for a TeenChoice award for Best Real-ity Show, she heads out toLos Angeles to walk the redcarpet.
Her show is up againstreality giants such as “Jer-sey Shore,” “Keeping UpWith the Kardashians,”“The Price of Beauty” and“The Hills.”
“It’s crazy,” she said.
“But I am really excited. Itwill be so much fun to bethere.”
It’s enough to turn a 17-year-old girl’s head butFlinchbaugh seems unaf-fected by all the attention.
Her waist-length blondehair is casual and loose, andshe sits barefoot and blue-jeaned in her Bridgetownfamily room, happy to cud-dle with her Golden labBella.
She bought her awarddress at Casa Blanca, a vin-tage shop in Cincinnati, andis looking forward to hersenior year and any otheropportunities her talent willbring.
“It’s all hard to believe,”she said. “I’m just a normalkid.”

Up, up and away wentthe spinning disc of pizzadough. Wider and wider itspread as it spun.
Returning to earth, thedough landed in the c-shaped cupped hands ofBuddy LaRosa.
With a slight twist of historso, a quick turn of hisarms and some Italiano flair,the dough flew again.
“That’s about the size ofa large pizza,” Cincinnati’sprimo pizza purveyor saidThursday night as he spreadthe dough on a prep table.
“Here!” he called to JaredMoore of White Oak. “Youtry it! Piece of cake!”
He tossed the dough tothe unsuspecting 26-year-old song and dance man.
Moore plays the title rolein the musical, “Every-body’s Buddy.” The showhonors the life of the soonto be 80-year-old pizzabaron, philanthropist andcelebrated soft touch.
“I went to the hospitaltoday,” La Rosa saidbetween tosses. “Four peo-ple gave me their businesscards and asked for my
help.” He plans to lend eachone a hand.
“Everybody’s Buddy”revolves around two kindsof dough. There’s the stuffmade from flour. Then,there’s the dough from asuccess story of a kid whogrew up “in a broken homefilled with love” and grewthe West Side pizzeria heopened in 1954 into a chaingrossing about $132 millionin 2009 and garnering wellover half the pizza businessin Cincinnati.
The musical’s premiereruns Aug. 11-14 at the Col-lege of Mount St. JosephTheater. That’s where
Thursday’s dough tossinglesson took place.
It follows LaRosa’s lifefrom before his birth to hischildhood growing up inCincinnati’s Little Italy,through the opening of hisfirst pizzeria on the westside in 1954. It culminatesin a 1973 scene where anentire community of studentathletes and coaches helpLaRosa rebuild his flagshipBoudinot Avenue pizzeriaafter a potentially devastat-ing fire.
“My father loves Cincin-nati,” says Mike LaRosa,CEO of LaRosa’s andBuddy’s son. “’Everybody’sBuddy’ is as much aboutthe people in the communi-ty who raised and supportedhim as it is about Buddy. So,
in many ways, this tells aCincinnati story, too. So, weare ecstatic that we can cel-ebrate his 80th birthdaywith those who have meantso much to Buddy and ourfamily.”
Buddy LaRosa celebrateshis 80th birthday on August25th. Each night, he’ll jointhe cast onstage for a“Happy Birthday” finalenumber. Proceeds from theevent will benefit CincinnatiChildren’s Hospital MedicalCenter.
The idea for the musicalstarted over a decade agowhen Buddy LaRosa’scousin and business associ-ate, Harry Panaro, broughtthe idea to Dick Ruehrwein,after enjoying another oneof Ruehrwein’s musical pro-
ductions. Ruehrwein, whohas written 15 plays, all ofwhich have been produced,met again with LaRosa andPanaro nearly two yearsago to talk seriously aboutmoving forward with themusical.
“From the beginning, itwas important to me thatthe proceeds be donated toCincinnati’s Children’s Hos-pital,” said Buddy LaRosawho credits Children’s Hos-pital with saving the life ofhis daughter, Denise. “Theproduction of the musicalwas about doing somethingthat would inspire andengage the local communi-ty. It is a celebration of thecommunity that has guidedand supported me through-out my life.”

center aims to give parentsa break from the dailydemands of caring for spe-cial-needs children andteens.
And while parents aregetting a break, their chil-dren can get extra helplearning how to better man-age their symptoms.
RHC’s Children’s RespiteSupport Center recently cel-ebrated its grand opening.The center offers therapeuticservices for children diag-nosed with both develop-mental disorders, such asautism or Down syndrome,and mental illness.
Wyatt Dunham, 10, hasbeen diagnosed withAsperger’s syndrome,ADHD and schizoaffectivedisorder, a psychiatric disor-der that includes moodswings, delusions and hal-lucinations.
“Before he was 2, I knewhe would have struggles,”said his mother, Tammy
Dunham of Elmwood Place.Wyatt has been hospital-
ized several times, both fortrying to hurt himself andfor trying to hurt others,Dunham said.
“He has a lot of angerissues. That’s how he dis-plays depression,” she said.
He doesn’t handle frus-tration well, and he’s notgood with surprises.
“He needs to be on avery rigid schedule. He hasto have a very rigid structureto his day,” Dunham said.
Small things – waitinglonger in line at the super-market than expected, or alast-minute trip to the store– can trigger a meltdown.
The respite centeropened in January, andWyatt’s been there twoweekends a month.
For Dunham, it meansbeing able to go to the storeand run errands withoutworrying about how Wyattwill react. And Wyatt gets tospend time learning how tobetter deal with his anger,
both in group sessions andone-on-one meetings withtherapists.
The Dunhams, and otherfamilies like them, neverknow what they’ll face fromone day to the next. Chil-dren and teens affected bymental illness struggle withbehavioral and moodchanges on a regular basis.
“These kids cycle a lot,and they’re in and out ofthe hospital,” said SusanPahner, RHC’s vice presi-dent of program services.“A big goal of this programis to stabilize placement forthem, and keep them fromgoing in and out of the hos-pital.”
Before clients begin serv-ices at the center, staff con-duct in-depth assessmentsto identify what kinds ofservices youth and theirfamilies need most.
For some kids, it’s angermanagement. For others, itmight be learning to batheon their own or make asnack by themselves.
RHC operates grouphomes and supported hous-ing for people affected bydevelopmental disordersand mental illness in Hamil-ton and Butler counties.
The respite center canhouse five children or teensfor a weekend. Eventually,staff hope to expand the pro-gram to seven days a week.
The center was set up incooperation with HamiltonChoices, which contractswith Hamilton County tocoordinate care for childrenand teens with mentalhealth problems. Otherfunding comes from privategrants and scholarships,including a $150,000 start-up grant from the HealthFoundation of GreaterCincinnati, and Medicaid.
For the Dunhams,Wyatt’s time at the centermeans a little more breath-ing room for the adults –and a lot fewer meltdownsfor Wyatt, who’s learning toget along with other kidsmuch better, Dunham said.
“It’s helping him stay outof the hospital,” she said.“It’s just been a big help forus.”

“We want people to thinkof Cafe Bayley as anotherDelhi restaurant,” said thecafe’s manager Deb Cordrey.
Cafe Bayley, near BayleyPlace on Farrell Court,reopened July 12. The smallcafe sits inside the WellnessCommunity Center and isopen to the public not justthe residents of BayleyPlace.
“We are part of the WestSide community,” saidKathy Baker, director ofEldermount Adult Day Pro-gram.
The new cafe features ahealthier, more upscaleAmerican bistro type menu.The new menu offers moreextensive choices.
One special menu item isCordrey’s own recipe shecalls Chili 4:4, named after
the biblical passageMatthew 4:4.
“The passage says, ‘Mandoes not live on breadalone,’” Cordrey said. “Ourchili is all meat, no beans.”
Chili 4:4 is a hearty,meaty recipe that differsfrom traditional Texas stylechili. Cafe Bayley serves thechili by itself or in its walk-ing tacos.
The cafe first closed inMarch.
Cordrey signed on asmanager in May and hasbeen developing the newmenu ever since.
“There are still a couplethings I might add,” Cordreysaid. “I want to see howeverything flies. If some-thing isn’t working I will getrid of it.”
Cordrey also makes thehumus, cookies, muffins,and gravy for french friesand gravy featured on the
menu.“French fries and gravy
is a Canadian favorite. I’moriginally from Canada soI’m bringing that with me,”Cordrey said.
Cordrey eventually plansto make all the bread usedin the cafe.
Other unique menu itemsare the 1950s classics – themonte cristo sandwich andwedge salad.
Cordrey has brought anew life to the cafe with herrevamped menu.
“I see an excitementcoming here,” Baker said. “Ihear a lot of people sayingthey can’t wait for it toopen.”
The cafe will now havelonger business hours from10:30 a.m. -2:30 p.m. andserve breakfast all day.
Their new menu is budg-et conscious with mostitems under $6.

House lightingJudy Konerman, 54, switches on her solar bird bath in backyard.Konerman purchased her house from Cheviot for $74,000 in May2008. When she moved in, there was nothing in the backyard but dirtand grass. She has since made improvements, which is just what cityleaders had hoped for. The city's program allowed the city to buyforeclosed-upon houses for $1, rehabilitate them, then sell them formarket value. Konerman's was the first the city purchased. U.S. Rep.Steve Driehaus (D–1st District), a member of the House Committee onFinancial Services, spoke in front of Konerman's home about therecently-passed Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.Konerman, 54, a single mother who said she received no child support,was previously living in a mobile home park in Harrison. Communityleaders say the program has benefited, not only the individual homebuyers, but also the neighborhood. The city had taken out a no-interest, 2-year loan for $20,000.

Deb Cordrey and Gina Torbeck share a drink at the newly opened Cafe Bayley.
The church family at St.Aloysius Gonzaga inBridgetown has a singingstar in its ranks.
Michael Match, theirmusic director and organist,recently won the CincinnatiOpera’s second annualOpera Idol Competition.
“Our church family isvery proud of Michael,” saidthe Rev. Mike Hay, pastor ofSt. Aloysius.
“He is a very talentedyoung man and we are verylucky to have him here asour music minister.”
Match, a countertenorwho learned he won thecontest July 26, said he“breathed a huge sigh ofrelief” upon hearing thegood news.
“All six of us (finalists)have been waiting desper-ately by the phone. So, I’mthrilled to death. It’s been ahuge desire for me the past
few months to win,” hesaid.
As the winner, Matchreceived a $3,500 contractwith Cincinnati Opera.
The singer earned hisbachelor’s degree in voicefrom Youngstown StateUniversity and a master’sdegree from Indiana Univer-sity. The 31-year-old is pur-suing is doctorate at Indiana
University as well.In the competition,
before he sang “L’angueoffeso” from Handel’s“Julius Caesar,” Match toldhimself, “Don’t forget to tellthem you’re a countertenorbefore you start singing.”
He possesses a rare,extremely high voice thatsoars into the stratosphereof the vocal repertoire. Hisselections by Handel andMeyerbeer at the semifinalsheld in early July at theAronoff Center were so pol-ished and his voice type sorare, that the judgesremarked he was almostguaranteed a career inopera.
Match started out as atenor, but ironically strug-gled to hit the high notes. AYoungstown professornoticed he had a greatfalsetto and gave him arecording by acclaimedcountertenor David Daniels.
“I thought, ‘I think I cando this,’” Match said.
“I discovered I had amuch bigger range and pos-sibility, and that’s where Ishould be singing.”
He said he had a largecheering section in the audi-ence of nearly 400 people atthe Aronoff Center for theJuly 8 semifinals – his choirfrom St. Aloysius.
“It was a familial atmos-phere, and we were all root-ing for each other back-stage,” he said.
The organist hopes hewill be given a spot in theOpera Chorus next season,but for now he said, “I’mstill sort of floating in ahaze.”
Hay said the parish-ioners at St. Aloysius hopeMatch enjoys his new fameand they are rooting for himall the way.
He said in addition tobeing tremendously talent-ed, Match is a joy to work
with and always brings apleasant disposition to thechurch.
Hay said St. Aloysiushas one of the biggest choirsin the area, more than 35members, and it’s all due toMatch.
“When I say we are verylucky to have him, I trulymean it,” Hay said.
An initial field of 60hopefuls turned out in early
June to audition for theOpera Idol Competition, andonly 10 semifinalists wereasked to perform before apanel of three judges.
Videos of six finalistswere posted online for pub-lic voting to choose the win-ner and more than 4,500people cast votes.

Two men beat a 61-year-old man severely during arobbery July 22, and heremained in a coma at Uni-versity Hospital, accordingto the Hamilton CountySheriff’s Office.
Robert M. Krull, 3716Quante Ave., Cleves, is heldon $300,000 bond at theHamilton County jail oncharges of aggravated rob-bery and felonious assault.
Deputies say he and hisroommate attacked WilliamR. Smith while robbing himabout 4:40 a.m. July 22 at aresidence on Ohio 128.
The second suspect,Shawn M. Gould, 31, of thesame Cleves address,remains at large, sheriff’sofficials said July 29.
Krull appeared with hishands cuffed behind hisback Thursday in HamiltonCounty Municipal Court. Hislawyer offered no explana-tion of the case but didrequest Judge RichardBernat set a low bond.
The lawyer, RichardGabelman, said Krull liveson the county’s west sidewith his aunt and has a 2-year-old son who resides inthe area.
Prosecutors argued for ahigh bond because of the
extent of the victim’sinjuries.
Krull is on probationfrom a previous breaking-and-entering conviction,they said.
The case is scheduled togo to a Hamilton Countygrand jury for possibleindictment Aug. 9.
Krull’s lawyer declinedcomment after court.
One of Smith’s neighborssaid he was found uncon-scious inside his garagenearly three hours after theattack, when one of Smith’sbrothers made his daily visitto check on him and dropoff a cup of coffee.
“I think he knew some ofthem,” said the neighbor,John Breeding, 72, who hasknown Smith and his broth-ers for 30 years. “That’s
why they beat him so bad. Ibelieve they thought he wasdead when they left himthere. They beat him with ashovel and kicked andpunched him.”
Deputies found Smithlying in a pool of blood.
The men stole two railbuggies – one blue, one yel-low – and a 1997 GeoMetro, according to theHamilton County Sheriff’sOffice.
The Geo has been recov-ered by police.
Smith has been showingsigns of progress. Earlierthis week, he opened hiseyes while one of his broth-ers visited him at the hospi-tal, Breeding said.
Anyone with informa-tion relating to this crimeand/or the location ofShawn M. Gould is asked tocall the sheriff’s office at513-825-1500 or CrimeStoppers at 513-352-3040.

Like most 10-year-oldgirls, Emily McKinney’sfavorite thing to do is listento Justin Bieber. Unlike most10-year -old girls, McKin-ney is battling a rare braintumor.
Seven years ago motherand wife, Kathy Schmidt,died of a brain tumor. Afterher death her family startedthe organization AlwaysOur Sunshine (AOS).
The McKinney andSchmidt families werebrought together through amutual family friend. NowMcKinney is the beneficiaryfor this year’s Always OurSunshine Walk-a-Thonfundraiser.
“We decided we wantedto do something to keep hermemory alive,” Kathy’shusband, Jim Schmidt, said.
This year marks thefourth annual walk-a-thontaking place on Sunday,Aug. 15, through the streetsof Cheviot.
McKinney just finishedher fifth grade at DelshireElementary and will beattending Delhi MiddleSchool in the fall.
“We were told by a friendthat they might know some-one locally who neededhelp,” Schmidt said. “Wewanted to help someonefrom our community.”
McKinney received herdiagnosis, anaplastic astrob-lastoma stage 3, in Febru-ary. Since then she hasundergone 32 sessions ofradiation and chemotherapyalong with experimentaltreatments.
“These people have noidea who I am and they are
reaching out to help. Theyhave wonderful hearts,”said Emily’s mother BarbieMcKinney.
The walk-a-thon beganas a way to carry onSchmidt’s passion for help-ing children and her love ofwalking.
“She was a huge walker.She would walk three timesa day, in the morning, in theafternoon, and at night,”said Kathy’s sister MaryWhitt.
Before her death Schmidtworked as a teacher’s assis-tant at North Fairmont, Car-son, Westwood, and DaterMontessori schools.
“She always did stuffwith kids. She wanted tobenefit kids in some way,”Schmidt said.
As a teacher’s assistant,Kathy would greet the chil-dren each morning. Follow-ing her death the schooldedicated a plaque in hermemory which read“Always Our Sunshine.”
“I love the fact that theyare keeping her spirit alive,”Barbie McKinney said.
Several door prizes aregiven away during thewalk-a-thon includingmany tickets and gift certifi-cates for local businessesand attractions.
Those interested in par-ticipating can register onlinewww.alwaysoursunshine.org or in person before thewalk.
“Anyone can registerearly online. If they waituntil the day of the walkthere is no guarantee for aT-shirt,” Schmidt said.
Last year the walk hadmore than 200 participantsand raised more than$6,000.

Wet weather may bring basementdampness or leaks. The cause may bepoor drainage, poorly maintained gut-ters and downspouts not drainingproperly or draining into damagedunderground piping. Excessive mois-ture may lead to mold, impairing theindoor air quality of the home.
Water can enter the basement atthe basement floor, through cracks inthe walls or plumbing leaks. Extremesigns of water seepage in the founda-tion wall located near exterior under-ground downspout piping are proba-bly an indication the underground pip-ing is not functional.
Excessive ground water along thefoundation may also cause structuralfoundation problems. Strange mustyodors in the basement can be frommold or bacteria. Testing for moldshould be completed by certifiedindoor air quality inspector, not by awaterproofing contractor.
Some of the older types of under-ground piping are vitrified clay tile orasphalt impregnated paper pipe. Thesetypes of piping have a limited life. Thecorrugated plastic pipe may crush,blocking water flow.
Types of repairs may includeregrading the yard, redirecting down-spouts, replacing underground down-spout piping, installing an interiorunder-slab perimeter drain with a
sump pump or drainingto a lower yard. Exca-vating and installingan exterior waterproof-ing system may also beeffective.
Bulk water typicallydoes not leak through aconcrete foundationwall, unless there is acrack. Concrete foun-dation walls withcracks may onlyrequire an injectionwith structural or
polyurethane epoxy. This is usuallyinexpensive and completed from theinterior of the basement (about $350per crack).
The installation of an interior andexterior waterproofing system may beexcessive, unnecessary and expensive(about $20,000). If these cracks aredue to moisture intrusion near steelreinforcing rods inside the foundationwalls, the steel rods may rust, expand-ing the steel, causing foundationcracks with reddish-brown rust stainsemanating below the crack. This typeof crack should be fully injected withstructural epoxy.
It is more common that hollow con-crete block foundation walls leak. Thedampness builds up inside the hollowconcrete blocks, which manifests as
stains and mold.The exterior waterproofing system
is the best method of repair, but ismore costly. Some of the waterproof-ing contractors tell homeowners thatthe exterior system removes the pres-sure against the foundation wall. Thismay reduce the pressure, but does noteliminate it.
A contractor installing a fiberglassreinforced panel over a crack willdirect the water to an under-slab drain,but they hide the condition of thefoundation wall behind the crack andsusceptible to mold growth behind thepanel. Mold growth is also susceptiblebehind the panels.
If basement leaks are seen comingup through the basement slab or alongthe joint between the basement slaband foundation wall, an interiorunder-slab drain line may be the bestsolution. Storm water under the base-ment slab may cause the basementslab to heave.
We suggest calling a professionalengineer to diagnose the source of theleaks and suggest methods or optionsfor repair. A free estimate from a con-tractor may be very expensive.

In 2009, the West Sideboasted some of the best golfteams in the city, with Taylorwinning the Cincinnati HillsLeague, Elder finishing sec-ond in the Greater CatholicLeague, and Seton posting asolid season in the Girls’Greater Catholic League.
In 2010, those teams lookto be geared up for anothersuccessful season.
Taylor loses just one con-tributing golfer from lastyear’s squad and returns CHLplayer of the year Brad Rap-king, who averaged 38.9strokes per nine holes lastyear, tops in the CHL.
In addition to Rapking,Taylor also returns juniorMatt Nickoson, who rankedsecond behind Rapking inscoring average. Taylor alsoreturns juniors Kaleb Sissonand Dylan Lee, both ofwhom ranked in the top 25in the CHL last season.
Taylor coach RussellHeath has set lofty goals forthis year’s team.
“I hope they go to statethis year,” Heath said. “Theyhave the ability and themanpower to make it there ifthey hold themselves totask.”
Heath’s squad has facestough in-conference oppo-nents in Wyoming and Indi-an Hill.
“I’m just hoping andpraying for the best perform-ance these young men havein them this year,” Heathsaid.
For Elder, last year’s sec-ond-place finish behindMoeller is just the beginning,as the Panthers return theirtop two scorers from last sea-son in junior Daniel Schwarzand senior Michael Schwarz.
“We have high expecta-tions,” Elder coach MikeTrimpe said. “We haveeveryone back and a goodrecord last year. It’s a goodgroup of guys who are hardworking and we have gooddepth. We have five or sixplayers who average in themid 30s. That’s a lot.”
Trimpe’s team also fea-ture’s senior Kevin Haas and
sophomore Brennen Walsh,both of whom averaged 40strokes per nine holes andwere top-ten golfers in theGCL last season.
Competition will still befierce for Elder in the GCL, asMoeller, St. Xavier andLaSalle always feature strongteams.
Next door to Elder, SetonHigh School returns a solidcore of golfers from lastyear’s team, which finished
14-5 overall and was 9-5 inGGCL play.
Junior Molly Arnold leadsthe way for Seton, averaging45 strokes last season. Join-ing Arnold are sophomoreAndrea Toth and junior SarahBanfill.
“We have three good coreplayers and a couple whocould develop into good play-ers,” Seton coach LindseyThiessen said. “We could bereally good or really baddepending on how theydevelop.”
“I’m really excitedbecause we have the poten-tial for four or five goodgolfers,” Thiessen said.
Competing against Setonin the GGCL is Mother ofMercy High School, which ishoping for a rebound yearfollowing last year’s 5-12
mark.“We were really bad last
year, so we’re looking toimprove and find more con-sistency this year,” Mercycoach Kathy Dinkelackersaid. “We have no place to gobut up.”
Mercy returns a pair ofseniors in Emma Jones andLauren Pflum, both of whomranked in the top 60 in theGGCL standings.
“They’ve worked hardthis summer and should seea definite improvement,”Dinkelacker said.
Likewise, both Oak HillsHigh School girls’ and boys’teams are in rebuilding years.
The Oak Hills’ boys grad-uated seven seniors from lastyear’s team, and first-yearcoach Aaron Strine is unsurewhat his squad will look like.
“We’re going to be veryyoung,” Strine said. “Weonly have one returning sen-ior but lots of incoming fresh-men who I feel will be veryhelpful.”
Strine is hoping thoseyoung players can step upand contribute right away,and meet his goals of a 160team average and a top-fivefinish by beating top GreaterMiami Conference programsLakota West and Mason.
“We’ll be young, but Ithink we’ll be very competi-tive,” Strine said. “Look forbig things, if not this yearthen in the future.”
Likewise, the Oak Hillsgirls are entering a rebuildingyear, losing three seniorsfrom last year, two of whichare now playing collegiately.
Sophomore MackenzieLaumann, who ranked 30thin the GMC with a 45-strokeaverage, is the Highlanders’
top returning golfer. JoiningLaumann are senior captainLauren Heugel and sopho-more Jaime Sanzere.
“We’ll improve as the sea-son goes on,” said coachSandy Fernbacher. “I’ve gotthree new kids so we’ll getoff to a rough start.”
Fernbacher credits newjunior varsity coach KikeKehling with working hard toprepare the newcomers andhelping to recruit new talentto Oak Hills.
“We’d like to get to dis-tricts this year, but it will be astretch,” Fernbacher said.“Mackenzie Laumann mightmake it individually though.”

BRIEFLY
FFoorr EEllddeerr,, last year’s second-place finish behindMoeller is just the beginning, as the Panthers return
their top two scorers from last season in junior DanielSchwarz and senior Michael Schwarz.
Elder High School crosscountry coach SteveSpencer has a problem.
But it’s a good one.“For a lot of the kids,” he
said, “I have to keep themfrom training too much.”
After finishing 10th lastyear at the Division I StateCross Country Champi-onships, the Panthers
appear poised to return toScioto Downs.
They’ll be led by seniorJosh Makin, the reigningGCL-South Runner of theYear.
“He’ll definitely be oneof our top guys,” Spencersaid. “I think he should be atop-10 runner certainly atregionals, and he’ll be agood performer at state.”
Also returning is JoshRieskamp, a First-Team All-
League performer.“He’s a different kind of
runner than (Makin),”Spencer said. “Makin hasgood speed. Rieskamp ismore of an endurance run-ner. He should be in the top15 at regionals.”
Rounding out the topthree for Elder is seniorCorey Zielinski, who hasbeen a few ticks above the16-minute mark this sum-mer.
“He’s a hard worker,”Spencer said.
Also contributing will bejuniors Jake Clark, whoseintensity has impressedSpencer, and Nathan Lauck,a strong runner who misseddistricts last year due to ill-ness.
“I think we’ll have a bet-ter team than last year, but
we can’t control what otherteams do,” Spencer said.“La Salle, St. X, Mason,Dayton Carroll, Centerville,Lakota West – these aresome really good teams inthe region – and only fourget to state.”
Still, Spencer said his
team has a good chance tobe one of those four squads.
“I think we’re workingreal hard and have a goodattitude,” he said. “We’vegot a lot of guys back, sowe have some experience. Ithink we’re all set.”
Elder returns state-qualifying team runners
Several other local runnersreturn to action this fall:
• La Salle will be led byseniors Travis Hawes, EthanBokeno, Kevin Kluesener andMatt Nie, as well as sophomoreJacob McNamara.
• Mother of Mercy will be ledby junior Lauren Seibert andsophomores Melina Artmayerand Grace Simpson
• Oak Hills will be led byseniors Cody Lacewell and TravisTroxell, junior David Kohlbrandand sophomore Blake Meyer; thegirls’ team will be led by seniorEmily Wohlfrom and junior Alex
Eilers• Seton will be led by
sophomores Shelby Fritsch andCaitlin Lopez, juniors MelissaSchenkel and Anne Pace andsenior Teresa Del Prince

Concussion testingDr. John Brannan of Beacon
Orthopedics is launching pre-seasonconcussion testing for fall sports inlocal schools.
The computerized program, calledImPACT, is a neuropsychiatric evalua-tion. It is non-invasive and usuallytakes less than 10 minutes. The pre-season testing measures baselinedata; if the athlete suffers a concus-sion during the season, this testingserves as a comparison for follow-upcare.
The coach, head athletic trainerand school IT person set up the pro-gram in a class school room or train-ing room.
For more information about theconcussion program, contact 354-3700 or www.beaconortho.com.
The time is now for theLa Salle High School crosscountry team.
The Lancers return fiveof their top seven runnersfrom a team that hasadvanced to state each ofthe last two years.
They’ll be led by seniorTravis Hawes.
“He’s got the ability,”Lancer head coach FrankRusso said, “to be a top-fivestate finalist and could fin-ish as high as second to(Mason senior) Zach Wills.”
Hawes finished 12th atthe state championships asa freshman and was GCL-South Runner of the Year asa sophomore.
Last season, however, hestruggled through injuryand illness – and he wasn’talone. Senior EthanBokeno, among others, alsomissed significant time.
“It’s no secret,” Russosaid. “The last two years,(the problem) hasn’t beenour talent. It’s been our abil-ity to stay healthy.”
If the Lancers can avoidinjury, Russo said his teamhas a legitimate shot at astate championship.
Along with Hawes, afive-time state-qualifier, andBokeno, a four time-statequalifier, La Salle returnsseniors Kevin Kluesenerand Matt Nie, as well assophomore Jacob McNama-ra. Juniors Clayton Cardinal,Drew Michel and Marc Niealso figure to be in the mix.
“We’ve got great talentin front and great depth inback,” Russo said. “We’rehoping to get some youngguys contributing.”
La Salle has beenarguably the most consis-tent program in Ohio overthe last 15 years, advancingto state all but two yearssince 1996. From 2000 to2006, the Lancers won twostate titles and had fourstate runner-up finishes.
In 2007, the Lancersfailed to qualify for state forthe first time since 1998. LaSalle returned to SciotoDowns each of the last twoyears but placed 15th and16th, respectively; prior to2008, Russo, who tookover in 1983, hadn’t had astate team finish lower than10th.
“We’re trying to work onthe intensity and quality ofour work ethic,” Russo said.
“We’re trying to get theguys to understand what ittakes.”
Russo, who has beenpleased with his team’ssummer workouts thus far,has motivated his runnersby recounting tales of for-mer Lancers who won statetitles and earned All-Ameri-ca status.
“What separated thoseguys was their work ethicand their intensity,” Russosaid.
La Salle opens the sea-son with the FinishTimingInvitational at WilmingtonCollege Aug. 28. Other keymeets include the MidwestCatholic Championship atIndian Riffle Park in Ketter-ing Sept. 25 and the Mid-west Meet of Champions atHilliard Darby Oct. 2.
The GCL Meet will beheld at Rapid Run Park Oct.16. La Salle has won leaguethree of the last five years,most recently in 2008.
“We’ve got a nice coregroup that has talent and alot of varsity experience,”Russo said. “We’ll get ourconfidence from how wellwe prepare on a day-to-daybasis.”

The headline above the articlepresents a very negative picture ofa very positive situation.Nathanael Greene Lodge is atremendous asset to the GreenTownship community, whether itgenerates a profit or not.
The article lists a few commu-nity groups who meet at the lodge(Kiwanis, VFW, Exchange Club,Green Township Civic Associa-tion). Two more to add to the listare the Shriners and the CitizensPolice Academy. The contributionsthese groups make to the commu-nity far outweigh the cost to thetownship of providing a top-notchfacility at a reasonable rate.
As stated in the article, thelodge was not built as a profit cen-ter … it was built to provide aservice to the citizens of the com-munity. The township administra-tors and the incredible staff of thelodge have done a tremendous jobof providing such service. Pleasegive them the credit they deserve.

Not happyI’m writing to voice my dis-
pleasure with Oak Hills HighSchool in regards to the AndersonFerry Church of Christ FoodPantry fundraiser scheduled forJuly 21 at the Oak Hills baseballfield.
The event, an Elder/Oak Hillsalumni baseball game, with enter-tainment, food and prizes was tobenefit this worthy organizationthat assist many West Side fami-lies. The pantry is in need of newcoolers, freezers, food and vanrepairs, and now has sustained afinancial loss for sign and foodexpenditures.
Although informed by schoolstaff of the effective field drainage,they were advised the morning ofthe event it was canceled due tothe possibility of rain and risk tothe field. This action was takenalthough the fields are to bereplaced in August. Despite thefact it rained later in the day, theevent could have still been heldwithout the game.
I realize Oak Hills has a respon-sibility to maintain its facilities,but they need to be reminded thatit is not owned by the school butby the community who supportsit.
The pantry plans to re-sched-
ule the fundraiser and it’s my sin-cere hope the community willstrongly support the event.

Insightful columnAngie Lipscomb’s guest col-
umn “Price Hill is diverse, vibrant”is insightful.
She observes, as an “uncom-mon East Side transplant,” thatWest Siders “focus too much onhow we are neglected, how we arefailing, and how we think wedon’t have reason to be opti-mistic.” If this is true, then we oweit to ourselves to understand why.
Here’s my theory: The patternof repetitious settlement withinthe western hills has created a cul-ture of conformity. Although thereis comfort in conformity, as it rein-forces belonging and community,it can also make us complacent.And, because we live near andsocialize with people we haveknown for a long time, the past isnaturally the focus of conversa-tion, with less thought given tonew ideas that will shape ourfuture.
But Angie has a new ideaworth talking about. “Price Hill isnot a defenseless, needy neigh-borhood that must always look tocity hall for help. Beautify yourstreet. Walk and meet your neigh-bors. Political leaders can not dothat for us.”
Thanks for reminding us,Angie. And thanks for moving toPrice Hill. I hope there’s morewhere you came from.

Bad mathIs it OK that the township loses
two hundred thousand dollars ayear on the boondoggle NathanaelGreene Lodge? Apparently so,after all, Trustee Tracy Winkler’sdaughter runs the lodge. Whenquestions are asked, Judge Win-kler, Tracy’s husband, steps in.
Now we have a member of theVFW, whose organization meets atthe lodge at a discount, telling usthat it’s OK the Township loosesmoney. The problem is the VFWmember forgot to disclose that hisdaughter works at the Lodge.
With Trustee (Tony) Upton’sson working for the township inthe Public Services departmentwhose boss is directly responsiblefor the lodge’s losses, whose son-in-law also works for the town-
ship, conveys a policy of friendsand family need only apply. If youdon’t believe it, ask the head ofthe republican party, Alex Tri-antafilou, he got his wife a jobwith the township.
Add the Nathanael GreeneLodge losses to the $2.7 million toLegacy Place white elephant andpretty soon we are talking realmoney. These losses also fallsquarely on administrators shoul-ders who was recently rated, bytrustees Upton and Winkler, ashaving very good financial man-agement abilities. Apparently theadministrator gets high marks forloosing money. I guess two plustwo does equal five.

RTL responds to DriehausCongressman (Steve) Driehaus
claims that Obama’s executiveorder prohibits tax-funded abor-tion in the federal health care bill.This is based on the Department ofHealth and Human Services’statement after abortion fundingwas discovered in pre-existingcondition insurance plans inPennsylvania, New Mexico andMaryland.
The Congressional ResearchOffice has issued a report confirm-ing that limits on taxpayer fund-ing of abortions “would notappear to apply specifically to thefunds made available for high-riskpools” and that the executiveorder “does not specificallyaddress high-risk pools and thefunds provided” in this bill.
The health care bill alsoincludes the Mikulski amendmentthat defines abortion as preventa-tive care, further ensuring thatinsurance plans in the federalexchange will pay for them. Itpays for abortions under the Indi-an Health Service program.
The bill legislates $7 billion forthe 1,250 federally funded Com-munity Health Centers, not cov-ered by Hyde Amendment abor-tion funding restrictions. Thoughsome claim CHCs don’t offer abor-tion services, the ReproductiveHealth Access Project websitegives how-to instructions.
Finally, the bill has no con-science protections for health careworkers and facilities that do notwant to participate in abortions orother immoral practices – a funda-mental human right.
Pro-abortion bill … pro-abor-tion vote.
Paula WestwoodExecutive Director
Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Over the last week, SteveDriehaus used thousands of ourtax dollars to send out glossybrochures and authored a guestcolumn in this newspaper in adesperate attempt to convince usthat he has not betrayed his pro-life values.
But actions speak louder thanwords.
Driehaus supported BarackObama, who’s virtually onlyappointed pro-choice judges. Thevery first vote Driehaus cast inCongress was to make NancyPelosi Speaker of the House – shehas a 0 percent voting record withNational Right to Life and 100percent voting record withPlanned Parenthood and NARAL.
And the most troubling fact isthat National Right to Life onlyscores Driehaus as voting for pro-life issues a shocking 33 percentof the time.
Perhaps the biggest betrayal tothe pro-life community was whenhe voted for the health care reformlegislation. When Nancy Pelosisaid that Congress would have to“pass the health care bill beforewe actually knew what was in it,”she wasn’t kidding. Unfortunate-ly, the surprises keep coming.
At the time, the pro-life com-munity sounded the alarm thatthe legislation would be used toprovide taxpayer-funding forabortions, despite the executiveorder that President Obamaclaimed would block such fund-ing. Many in Congress, includingSteve Driehaus, scoffed at thatnotion.
Well, now, we find out the pro-life community was right. Severalstates attempted to establishinsurance plans that would usefederal tax dollars to pay for abor-tions using a section of the legisla-tion that the non-partisan Con-gressional Research Service statedthe executive order “does notspecifically address.”
As a result, abortions could befunded with tax dollars throughsuch plans despite the executiveorder. It was only after pro-life
advocates raisedconcerns thatthe Departmentof Health andHuman Services(HHS) appliedabortion restric-tions to suchplans.
Unbelievably,when faced withdirect evidencethat the execu-tive orderwouldn’t block
federal funding for abortions inthis instance, Steve Driehausargued the exact opposite in hiscolumn last week-that the execu-tive order is working.
If Driehaus’ assertions wereaccurate, and President Obama’sexecutive order contained aneffective prohibition on taxpayer-funded abortions, there would beno need for HHS to take separateaction in order to prevent abor-tions being funded with tax dol-lars under these insurance plans.
Moreover, had Steve Driehausand Bart Stupak kept their promisenot to vote for health care reformif it provided tax dollars for abor-tions, there would be no need forthis discussion at all.
Unfortunately, that didn’toccur. As a result, we are facedwith health care reform that lacksan effective prohibition on tax-payer-funded abortion.
And no amount of rhetoric orglossy taxpayer-funded brochuresfrom Steve Driehaus can changethat fact.
Also, it’s important to remem-ber the other shortcomings in theDemocrat’s massive power-grab inhealth care reform.
It hurt seniors by cuttingMedicare by more than $500 bil-lion, it created $569 billion in newtaxes and it could raise insurancepremiums by as much as $2,100annually on millions of Ameri-cans. We deserve better.

and I’m sure heincreased theyeast. From myyoungest-childp e r s p e c t i v emom’s canningkettle lookedhuge to me andwe were all apart of theprocess of dip-ping out theblack/brown liq-uid, pouring themixture throughthe funnel to the
perfect level and capping thosebottles with a hand bottle-capper.I’m quite sure the whole procedurewould have been faster withoutthe help of four children but wewere all full participants in the rit-ual.
Of course, summer isn’t justabout food and beverages. It
includes those great lightningstorms and late summer eveningspunctuated by the fireflies glowingin the back yard.
Every season has its positiverituals and qualities and everyseason has its drawbacks. Theglorious colors of fall precede theblisters from raking the leaves.Winter’s icy sidewalks are bal-anced by the warmth of the hearthand the beauty of sparkling snowas seen from a warm house.Spring in Cincinnati means onelovely tree after another poppingout in all its glory. It also includespotholes popping out everywhereas well.
When I tell people I used to livein California they often ask if orwhen we might move back there.Even if the cost of living washalfway sane, I still prefer thechanges of the seasons of theMidwest to the rather boring
minor changes from season toseason in a temperate climate. Myanswer is, “It’s a nice place to visitbut I really prefer to live wherepeople talk about the weather.”
Life has its seasons, too. Somemay consider a particular agematches only one season. Butpeople can be in an awakeningseason like spring at retirement aswell as graduation, as newlywedsor entering a new career. A figura-tive summer storm may toss youaround but it can bring relief froman emotional drought. We may bejust as reluctant to “let go” of cer-tain hurts as the trees are to let goof their leaves. But be assured thatletting go is part of the plan beforewinter. Spring will come again.

Riverview-Delhi Hills Kiwanis Club member David Stone prepares the trophies for presentation for the winners at the Rollin’ On TheRiver Car Show at Fernbank Park.
It might have been a hot and humid Sunday, but carlovers surely didn’t notice as classic cars rolled into Fern-bank Park for the annual Rollin’ on the River car show.
The show was hosted by Riverview-Delhi Hills KiwanisClub in partnership with the Hamilton County Park District.
This year’s was one of the biggest – if not the biggest –in the show’s 21 years.
More than 80 awards were presented at the end of theday to cars off all types, including a 1922 Ford Model T,
1931 Fore Deluxe Roadster, Corvettes, mustangs, an Austi-no Healey and even a 1952 Studebaker pick-up truck.
Next year’s car show is scheduled for July 24 in FernbankPark. All proceeds raised during the show benefits the BoyScouts of America, Operation Youth and other local charitiesthat support youth education. More than $250,000 hasbeen raised since 1990.
For a list of the winners from this year’s show, go towww.rollinontherivercarshow.com.

Father Lou is off this week. TheCommunity Press is running a columnthat was orginally published Jan. 3,2007.
1. You will receive a body.You may like it or dislike it, but it’syours for life. Make friends with it,respect it, and listen to it. Yourbody always tells you manytruths about yourself.
2. There are no mistakes,only lessons. You are made togrow, and growth is a process oftrial and error, learning, and mov-ing on. The pains of past failuresare even more a teacher than thejoys of gains and successes. Liveand learn!
3. A lesson will be repeateduntil it is learned. Realize that
you cannot keep performing thesame behavior and expect differ-ent results. Who, or whatever,hurts you and goes against yourtrue growth, let go of and moveon. Wise up!
4. The most importantthings in life are loving rela-tionships. Your Creator’s initialadvice was, “It is not good to bealone.” That was not adviceagainst enjoying solitude but awarning about being unconnectedand emotionally alone. Being inorbit around your own ego makesa mighty small world and a selfishperson. Care about others! Learnto love!
5. Other people can serve asmirrors. The significant traits youlike or despise about another per-
son frequently reflect somethingunconscious you like or despiseabout yourself - but which youfind it hard to admit. Know thy-self!
6. Whether it’s a place or atime of life, “there” is notalways better than “here.” Toooften the best seems to be hap-pening “there.” But if you get“there” it then becomes a “here”and you will likely yearn foranother “there” that seems betterthan “here.” Don’t always be liv-ing looking at a “there.” Alwaysappreciate the “here,” the “now!”
7. Every human person hasmany aspects: body, soul,mind and heart. Leaving anypart of yourself undeveloped pro-duces a lop-sided and unfulfilled
person. To the extent that youdevelop all the parts of yourhumanness makes your life eithera work of art or a blurred picture.Become more whole!
8. The most wonderful partof you lies deep within. It’scalled “soul,” or “core,” or “trueself.” It starts talking to you theloudest in the second half of yourlife. If you listen, it will impartwisdom, truths, and exquisiteunderstanding you’ve never hadbefore. If you don’t listen, you’llmiss the meaning of your life.Don’t be afraid to reflect! To listen!
9. You create your own cli-mate. That’s because of the powerof the thoughts you entertain, theattitudes you keep, the choicesyou make. Gripe and think nega-
tively and yourlife will alwaysbe overcast anddark. Appreci-ate, and you’llstart noticing themany good things you have. Youget the emotional climate youdevelop. Why rain on yourself?
10. There are many “impor-tant” things in this life, andthere are a few things that arereally “essential.” Never, neverexchange the essential for theimportant.
Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholicpriest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
I’m seeing more andmore companies these daysoffering warranties thatclaim to cover all your homeappliances. But, is it a goodidea to sign up, or are youbetter off saving yourmoney and just paying forrepairs as needed?
It’s not unusual to find awhole house appliance war-ranty offered by the sellerwhen you looking to buy anexisting house.
Now some nationalfirms, and even some localappliance repair shops,have begun offering this toall.
Sherri Burton of Ameliareceived an ad from anational company for sucha warranty for about $40 a
m o n t hand said itlooked likea greatdeal.
“ I fsomethingw e n tw r o n gyou wereto contactthem and
you got a claim number. Iguess they subcontract.They would come out here.I would pay a $75deductible,” said Burton.
Soon after signing up sheencountered a problem withher stove and called, butwas very surprised at theresponse she received.
“Bottom line, they didn’t
want to fix it. They justwanted to replace a knoband then, if something elsewent wrong, they’d have tocome back here and fix it,”she said.
Burton had to pay the$75 deductible but says shejust went out and bought anew stove.
Next, Burton’s furnacestarted making a lot of noiseso she again called the war-ranty company.
A repairman came outbut, “He said as long as thefurnace was running hecan’t do anything. It has tonot be running,” she said.
The furnace then startedoverheating so she calledagain.
“He turned the furnace
on and said, ‘As long as thefurnace is running there’snothing I can do.’ I said,‘Would you like a Cokebecause after it kicks on thesecond or third time it’sgoing to overheat?’ Well, itdid,” said Burton.
Burton was then told therepairman couldn’t fix thefurnace because he couldn’tget parts since it was tooold.
But now, in the warmsummer weather, the airconditioner is also overheat-ing so she can’t get herhouse cool.
“I thought it was going tobe a great company for $40a month, $75 deductible,”said Burton. “It’s about sav-ing me money, but appar-
ently it’s about making themmoney.”
The company wouldn’trespond to my phone callsso I had Burton file a com-plaint with the Better Busi-ness Bureau.
The company hasresponded to complaintsfiled with the bureau.
After Burton filed hercomplaint, the warrantycompany sent out anotherrepairman to check the fur-nace.
He found the problemwas with the blower motorand it had to be replaced.
Burton had to pay $500,but the new motor solvedthe problem. Now Burton istrying to get back that $500from the warranty compa-
ny.The Better Business
Bureau says it’s receivedabout 700 complaints aboutthis company from peoplewho say the firm would notpay for needed repairs.
In response, the compa-ny says consumers need toread the contract thorough-ly and fully understandexactly what’s included andwhat’s excluded.
Bottom line, you need tobe very careful beforeagreeing to any of thesewarranties.Howard Ain answers consumer
in their pen. This morning,when I went out to feedthem, I saw a trail of whitefeathers leading down to theriver bank.
Not a good sign – Iimmediately thought “rac-coons.”
And that’s how our onlywhite feathered hen,“Whitey,” as the kids calledher, met her untimelydemise.
So you can understandwhen I say I just don’t feellike sharing any recipestoday for, you guessed it:chicken.
Easy pork shoulderfor barbeque
There’s an old-fashionedtype of meat that folks arestarting to rediscover.
It’s fresh pork shoulder(and when it’s smoked it’ssometimes called cottageham or smoked pork butt).
I use it to make goettasince it has a nice layer offat which keeps the goettamoist. (See sidebar onGlier’s Goettafest.) I also useit to make barbeque.
It’s so delicious that I’llsave some of the roastedpork to serve for supperbefore I make the barbecue,and serve it with boilednoodles.
Preheat oven to 450degrees. Score the fat on topof a boneless pork shoulder,about 5 to 7 pounds.
Season with salt andpepper and place, fat sideup, in a Dutch oven orroasting pan with about acup of water. Roast untilsome of the fat has melted,about an hour.
Remove pan and reducetemperature to 350 degrees.Tightly cover pan with foilor a lid. Cook about three tofour hours more, or untilmeat is tender enough toshred with forks.
When cool enough tohandle, remove fat if youwant and shred meat intobite size pieces. This freezeswell. To serve, stir infavorite barbecue sauce totaste, and heat until hotthroughout.
Rita’s do-aheadmarinated slaw
This is delicious with thebarbecue, and a bit differentthan the norm.
Salad:Combine and set aside
while making dressing:
6-8 cups shredded cab-bage or cole slaw mix
2 carrots, sliced thin orshredded
1 bell pepper, chopped1 cup onion, chopped
Dressing:Bring to a boil, then sim-
mer, uncovered, 10-15 min-utes or so, until slightlythickened:
1 cup sugar1 cup cider vinegar1⁄2 cup water2 teaspoons mustard
seed (optional but good) or1⁄2 teaspoon celery seed (alsooptional)
Pour dressing over cab-bage mixture. Cover andrefrigerate four hours orovernight. Stir before serving.
Tips from Rita’s gardenHarvesting basil: Be
sure and snip the flowerheads that are forming onbasil.
Otherwise, energy willgo into the flowers andseeds, and leaf productionwill suffer.
The flowers of all culi-nary herbs are edible. (I do
let one plant go to seed fornext year’s crop).
Roasted whole plumtomatoes: These make adelicious sauce for pasta.You can also freeze them upto six months. Preheat ovento 450 degrees.
Toss tomatoes with a bit ofolive oil and season with saltand pepper. Lay in single layeron rimmed baking sheets.
If you have some freshthyme, tuck several sprigsin between the tomatoes.Bake until they burst, about45 to 60 minutes, rotatingpans halfway through. Letcool, then coarsely chop.
Can you help?Salsa verde at Rincon

tinez. “I have tried severaldifferent recipes and can’tseem to duplicate the one atRincon.”
Applespice Junction’schicken tortilla soup. ForAmy. “I cannot figure outhow to duplicate this chainrestaurant’s soup.” She saidit has a little spice flavor,and thicker than otherchicken tortilla soups.
The Polo Grille’s cornand tomato salsa andBravo!’s original focacciabread and dipping oil. ForJane in Montgomery. She saidthe salsa looked pretty simplewith roasted corn, tomatoes,garlic salt. “So good.”
And about Bravo!’sfocaccia, Jane said theychanged their recipe and it’snot nearly as good as theoriginal, which she thinksmay have had mashedpotatoes in it.

“Whoever in trouble and sorrow needs your help, give itto him. Whoever in anxiety or fear needs your friendship,give it to him. It isn’t important whether you approve of hisconduct. It isn‘t important what his creed or nationality maybe.”- E. N. West
We all know what it means to have someone by our sideand say,“I understand.”To understand is to have compassion.It is not to condemn, but to reach out in concern and love.Compassion is a very special manifestation of love; it is aform of love that springs from the deepest recesses of theheart.
People who can feel compassion arefortunate because it gives them a sense ofbeing needed and useful in a world whichhopefully they can change for the better ...
Wouldn‘t today be a good day for all of us tobe more compassionate?...
