area) that would be a huge winfor the village.”

Andress added that he’d liketo set up more community meet-ings in Mariemont to further dis-cuss the possible trail connec-tions to the village.

Check the Wasson Way Pro-ject’s Facebook page or the web-site, www.wassonway.org forupdates.

A proposed bike trail thatwould connect much of easternCincinnati could have a Marie-mont connection.

Jay Andress, a member of theWasson Way Project committee,recently spoke to MariemontCouncil about the group’s plansto convert about 6.5 miles of rail-road tracks into recreationalhiking and biking trails.

The Wasson Way trail wouldlink Xavier University to the Lit-tle Miami Bike Trail in Newtownand create other connections tothe trails around ArmlederPark, Lunken Airport and theOhio River Trail along RiversideDrive and Kellogg Avenue. Itwould also create new paths toAult Park, Mariemont and alongDuck Creek.

“It hooks everything togeth-er,” Andress said. “We havegreat trails around here, but theproblem is they’re not connect-ed and they’re not connected tothe population.”

The new trail through Marie-mont could also connect to thevillage’s south 80 acres behindMariemont Avenue. Village res-idents recently created about 2.5miles of natural trails in thatarea, which abuts the Little Mi-ami River.

Andress estimates it wouldcost about $7 million to build thetrail, and Norfolk Southern,which owns the railroad tracks,has recently indicated they’d bewilling to sell the right of way tocreate this new trail. The trackshave not been used for train traf-fic in several years, he said.

Mariemont residents havesupported connecting area biketrails in the past, and the Vision2021 plan, which sets goals forfuture development in the com-munity, showed connecting to

the Little Miami Bike Trail washighly desired.

Councilman Cortney Schees-er said he’s very supportive ofthis concept, but wondered howthis trail would complicate anyfuture plans for light rail. An-dress said the committee mem-bers would give priority to anylight rail projects, but said theright of way is wide enough inmost areas to accommodate

both uses.Resident Mark Erhardt said

while there are still many detailsthat need to be worked out it’s agood idea.

“As an overall concept for thevillage to pursue, I think it wouldbe very important to continueexploring this with a lot of seri-ousness and forethought,” Er-hardt said. “If we can get con-nected to other trails (in the

Hyde ParkNeighborhoodCouncil memberTom Rowe, whois also a memberof the LocalSchool DecisionMaking Commit-

tee for HydePark School,said the com-

mittee is currently workingwith Cincinnati Public Schoolsto determine the extent of therenovations.

“The question is the scopeand the timing of the renova-tions,” he said.

Amat-Outlaw said plans arefor the work to be undertaken instages, with half of the buildingopen this school year to accom-modate students and staff.Once that work is completed thestudents and staff will thenmove into the renovated portionwhile work proceeds on the oth-er section of the school.

The school, which will re-open this fall, will house giftedstudents from Riverview EastAcademy as well as serve as a“school of choice” for the com-munity and include elements ofboth neighborhood and magnetschools.

COLUMBIA TWP. — A trafficstudy beginning this month willgo a long way toward determin-ing if Columbia Township canproceed with a roundabout onPlainville Road.

The township has been work-ing on the project for severalyears and is still seeking an-swers from a traffic study andthe blessing of Mariemont offi-

cials.A traffic study

on the intersec-tion of MurrayAvenue, Madi-sonville Road andPlainville Road isset to begin short-ly.

Township Ad-ministrator Michael Lemon saidthe township is hoping the studyis completed by September orOctober at the latest so that deci-sions on the project and thegrant funding attached to it canbe made.

As township officials awaitthe study of the intersection,Lemon said they are also work-ing to answer the numerousquestions and concerns ad-

dressed in Mariemont MayorDan Policastro’s letter that wassent to the Ohio Department ofTransportation.

In the letter, Policastro iden-tifies 12 concerns he has aboutthe project, ranging from thesafety of pedestrians and driv-ers at the intersection to whichcommunity would be responsi-ble for the upkeep of the round-about.

Lemon said the traffic studycould help answer some of thequestions Policastro addressedin his letter. He said many of theissues raised by the Mariemontmayor can be answered throughthe numerous facts and studieson roundabouts already com-pleted.

"It's clear he has total opposi-

tion to the project," Lemon said.However, Lemon hopes the

study's results will allow bothcommunities to move forward.

"We're hoping that Marie-mont will subscribe to whateverthat study indicates," he said.

Township Trustee DavidKubicki said he hopes Marie-mont officials and residentsmake an informed decisionabout the roundabout project af-ter the study has been complet-ed.

He said he believes the pro-ject would be a good addition toboth communities.

"Let's keep an open mind onwhat we're all trying to accom-plish here," he said.

It may be too early forsome to worry about thestart of the school year, butArmstrong Chapel UnitedMethodist Church is mak-ing sure those in Madison-ville have their school sup-plies early.

The church is onceagain participating in theMadisonville Streetfest, atwo-day celebration con-ducted 6-8:30 p.m. Friday,Aug. 3, and 2-7 p.m. Satur-day, Aug. 4, at the coner ofMadison and Whetselstreets in Madisonville.

The MadisonvilleStreetfest will include re-freshments, children’sgames, a “bike rodeo,” acustom car show and liveentertainment.

Armstrong will be host-ing several children’sgame booths, but will alsobe giving away children’sbackpacks filled with age-appropriate school sup-

plies.Wendy Ransom, staff

member at ArmstrongChapel United MethodistChurch, said the churchgave out more than 300backpacks during lastyear’s event.

“The goal (this year) is

to just get as many as wecan,” she said.

Armstrong has spentthe last several weeks col-lecting donated backpacksfrom its congregation.

The church has a long-standing relationship withthe community. Armstrong

is part of a coalition thathelps build a Habitat forHumanity house each yearin Madisonville and hasparticipated in the street-fest for several years.

Kathy Garrison, one ofthe coordinators for theMadisonville Streetfest,said this year’s event “isprobably going to be ourbiggest.”

She said the festival willinclude free food and re-freshments.

Garrison is also directorof “Weed and Seed,” an ini-tiative aimed at reducingcrime while revitalizingthe people of Madisonville.

She said ArmstrongChapel United MethodistChurch has been a part ofthat movement in Madison-ville for the last sevenyears at least, and hasworked with other localchurches on numerous pro-jects aimed at helping theresidents of the communi-ty.

streets based on need andcost before applying forthe state grant, which re-quires the township to com-mit to pay for a percentageof the project.

“We are trying to deter-mine the cost of that,” hesaid.

The minimum the town-ship must cover is 10 per-cent of the project appliedfor in the grant.

“We’ve got some seedmoney available for amatch for (State CapitalImprovement Programfunding),” said TownshipTrustee President StephenLangenkamp.

HYDE PARK — The HydePark Neighborhood Coun-cil is hoping to drum up itsmembership.

During a recent meet-ing, council discussedways to attract more mem-bers.

“The biggest drawbackis lack of awareness,” saidboard member Jeff Love-lace.

With more dues payingmembers council hopes toincrease its operating bud-get.

Board member Rob Pas-quinucci, who heads theCommunity Outreach andDevelopment Committee,said one way to proceedwould be to start buildingan updated database ofmembers.

A solid email database isneeded, he said.

Pasquinucci said an out-reach effort could be made

by sending postcards tonew residents informingthem about the Hyde ParkNeighborhood Council.

Board Vice PresidentLouisa Adams said localreal estate agents could bea potential resource.

Welcome cards provid-ed by the Hyde Park Neigh-borhood Council could begiven to area real estateagencies for distribution tonew residents, she said.

Word of mouth is essen-tial, she said.

Julie Fatora, a Cincin-nati Recreation Commis-sion service area coordina-tor for Oakley who regular-ly provides updates at theHyde Park meetings, sug-gested posting the agendaand minutes online.

She said many of theresidents aren’t aware ofwhat is going on becausethis information is not post-ed.

Adams said she was re-ceptive to the idea. “I think

we should be transparentand post the agenda on-line,” she said.

She suggested postingthe agendas online as earlyas next month.

Pasquinucci said coun-cil should consider a varie-ty of ways to reach poten-tial members.

“The goal is to do moreoutreach,” said Pasquinuc-ci.

Council will likely dis-cuss the topic at its Augustmeeting at 7 p.m. the sec-ond Tuesday of the monthat Knox PresbyterianChurch.

SIDELINES

St. Ursula Academyand October’s state golftournament - these thingsare starting to go hand-in-hand.

The Bulldogs have com-peted in the state champi-onships four out of the pastfive seasons, and judgingby the squad’s lineup forthe 2012, the Bulldogscould be poised to make an-other run.

Sophomore CarolynMarkley returns after astellar freshman campaignthat saw her take first-team all-Girls’ GreaterCincinnati League honors.

Markley’s also been im-pressive this summer andwas co-medalist at July’sWestern Women’s Golf As-sociation Junior Champi-onships, which wereplayed at Cincinnati Coun-try Club.

“I expect her to be anoutstanding player…she’svery focused and dedicat-

ed and hard-working andmature beyond her yearsand is an outstanding golf-er,” Bulldogs head coachMark Hanrahan said.

Sophomore RamyaChandrakumar, like Mar-kley, also played varsity asa freshman.

Chandrakumar aver-aged 43.93 strokes per nineholes and garnered honor-able mention recognitionfrom the GGCL.

“She’s also a very hardworker. I expect a lot fromher this year,” Hanrahansaid.

Fellow sophomore KatieFrey is expected to roundout the Bulldogs’ trio of10th-graders who willmake up the Bulldogs’ line-up.

“We’ll have a youngteam this year,” Hanrahansaid.

Junior Bretten Hill isalso expected to contributeand has been working hardon her game, according toHanrahan.

The squad will also fea-

ture some girls who playedon the reserve team in 2011that will have a chance tocrack the varsity lineup.

“I’m excited and opti-mistic about our seasonthis year,” Hanrahan said.“It’s a great group of kidsand they all love golf andthey all work hard andthat’s our expectation.”

At the Seven HillsSchool, Alyssa Akiyama,brings national tourna-ment experience to RedBank Road.

Akiyama, competed inthe Callaway Junior WorldGolf Championships inJuly after tying for first inthe 13-14 year-old divisionat the national qualifier,which was played at NCRCountry Club in Kettering,Ohio.

MARIEMONT — Dom-ination is his game andWill Grimmer is his name.

That’s what severalpreps in the CincinnatiHills League learned in2011 as Grimmer—then afreshman at MariemontHigh School—took playerof the year honors afteraveraging 36.82 strokesper nine holes.

According to Warriorshead coach Denny Nead,Grimmer came withinone stroke of breaking thecourse record at Makete-wah Country Club aftershooting a 63 earlier thissummer.

“He is a sophomoreand the best junior golferI have seen in this area,”Nead said by email.

Grimmer, along withOliver Mauk, are both setto return to a programthat won last fall’s confer-ence tournament.

Mauk was named sec-ond-team all-league afteraveraging 42.62 strokes in2011.

the blue and white ad-vanced to districts.

Senior Sean Steinmanwill tee off for the SilverKnights this fall after ty-ing for 13th at districts,while Lee, who will be ajunior, will look to build ofhis 23rd-place finish.

Steinman averaged41.5 strokes per nine holesin 2011, while Lee won wasnamed first-team all-Mi-ami Valley Conference byshooting a 179 at theleague tournament.

About four miles to thenortheast of Summit, theSeven Hills School is alsoreloading for another runat the postseason.

The squad will returnreigning MVC player ofthe year Pauley Gosiger,who helped lead an inex-perienced squad to dis-tricts a season ago.

Gosiger, who wasnamed first-team all-cityby the Greater CincinnatiGolf Association, had thesecond-lowest score at hissectional and possesses astellar short game whileearning a reputation forsinking “the impossibleputts,” according to headcoach Doug Huff.

Other returning start-ers include senior AlexSmithers, junior ConnorRouan and sophomoreBrian Goertemoeller.

Purcell Marian golf

coach Shawn O’Brien willtry to get the Cavaliers inthe win column this fallafter an 0-7-1 season ayear ago.

Back with more expe-rience from that team areAndrew Kott and SheaO’Brien, while contribu-tions are expected fromBrennan Kilpatrick, Ray-mond Hill and PrestonCox.

“The 2011 season was abuilding block for theCavaliers,” O’Brien said.“By season’s end, theteamimprovedtheirover-all team score by 30strokes. A much-im-proved team finishedeighth out of 15 teams inthe Division II sectionaltournament.”

At Walnut Hills, boysand girls coach LarryKlein is trying to right theship as the Eagles havehad five consecutive los-ing seasons.

Leading the boyssquad is Mitchell Eaton,Tony Heim and Greg Lew-is. Klein lists Eaton as apossible college prospect.

A publication of

The ‘New Republicans’ (aconsortium of far right politicalgroups) would have you believethat it is preferable to have amanned flight to Mars than tohave a basic Medicare programfor those over 65 who have paidinto this system for decades.

The ‘New Republicans’ wouldhave you believe that you shouldhave the ‘liberty’ to buy privatehealth insurance, and be ‘FREE’to negotiate, naked and alone,with any private insurance com-pany that will have you! Arethese people insurance lobby-ists?

No insurance company willhave you; because, all seniorshave, at the least, minor pre-existing conditions. Usuallythose over 65 are not employed;

so, there is no employer to nego-tiate costs for you.

Do you have gallstones? Doyou know if you have gallstones?This would be a pre-existingcondition.

My grandmother had gall-stones, back in the ’50s. A well-known, existing health insur-ance company told my grandfa-ther that she was not covered,because gallstones were a pre-existing condition. She had paidfor this insurance for the fiveprevious years. My grandfatherpaid $100 per day cash to thehospital, and an unknownamount to the doctors, for hercare. Today, that cost could betens of thousands of dollars perday.

Interestingly, childbirth, and

the total associ-ated hospitalcare, cost $250per baby backin 1958. Thatwas about twoweeks pay forthe averageoffice worker.For reference,a gallon of gaswas 30 cents, aswas a loaf of

bread.The ‘New Republicans’ be-

lieve it is preferable to invadeSyria rather than to balance ourbudget – ask John McCain! Theywish to continue to pay for mil-itary programs that the Penta-gon says are not wanted, and notnecessary, rather than balancing

our budget.These ‘New Republicans’ are

supposedly religious men ofhigh moral character. Theycertainly have shown a righ-teous indignation over issuessuch as birth control, abortion,and gay marriage.

The New York Times reports,“On Thursday, House Repub-licans approved, on a party-linevote, a disastrous new budgetthat would leave millions ofstruggling families desperatefor food, shelter and health care– and Mr. Romney has embracedit.” “It’s an excellent piece ofwork,” Mr. Romney said.

“..the Ryan budget does con-tain a substantial tax cut for therich, which is one of the reasonsMr. Romney said he was 'very

supportive' of the plan.” “It’s abold and exciting effort,” hesaid, “and it’s very much consis-tent with what I put out earlier.”It is also consistent with hisstated lack of concern for thevery poor.

Is the budget a moral docu-ment? Is morality attached toeconomic choices? Is our eco-nomic treatment of the workingclass, and the working poor, amorality play?

Old people ... it is time for achange! The ‘New Republicans’are crazy! Reconsider yourvote!

James Baker is a 35 year resident ofIndian Hill

Is the Romney/Ryan budget immoral?

Last week’s questionDo you plan to attend any of

the Cincinnati Bengals’ trainingcamp since it will be downtownthis year? Why or why not?

“No! Not planning on attend-ing any games, either. Just not afootball fan. If the Bengals leftCincinnati, I would not even no-tice.”

J.S.B.

“No I do not plan to take inany training camp program ofthe Bengals. I like football andwill follow the Bengals, but I amnot happy with the administra-tion. They weed to show morecooperation with the city andHamilton County.”

E.S.

“Bengals??? Bwahahahaha-hahahah!!!”

J.G.

“I like the convenience overWilmington or Georgetown butthe parking and access mightdeter my going. If I get positivefeedback from others first, I'lldo it.”

R.V.

“We plan to go down thisyear, however, I do have con-cerns of it being very crowdedand players not being able toprovide as much time with fans.I am a bit disappointed that theyoffer tickets at 10 a.m. for a

training camp that does notstart till 3 p.m. or later. The al-ternative is seeing the camp onPaul Brown Stadium days.

“Going to Georgetown lastyear was a unique experiencewe would have done again thisyear. All the players were veryfriendly and my son was able tomeet and get many autographs.I think they appreciated fansmaking the trip to show theirsupport.

“Either way, training is thekick to football season, GOBENGALS !”

SILENT AUCTION

Charles and Cynthia Baylis enjoy the French Quarter-themed SilentAuction at St. Ursula Villa. THANKS TO MARTA RUNNELS

You paid off your mortgage,but there is still a lien on yourproperty.

There seems to be a rash ofthis happening nowadays. Aftera recent board meeting, a fel-low board member came overto me and asked if I wouldcheck the recorder’s officerecords, to see if a local bankhad filed a mortgage release onhis church’s property sincethey had paid off their mort-gage some months back.

After checking the HamiltonCounty Recorder’s Office rec-ords, I noted when the mort-gage was filed, but no releasehad been filed. I informed myfellow board member of myfinding and suggested he con-tact his church’s bank wherethey had paid off their mort-gage.

I have had two other individ-uals contact me this past yearwith similar circumstances.One had refinanced their homewhere the closing agent sentthe payoff up to their previous

mortgagecompany,which failed tofile a release.The secondindividual hadpaid off theirmortgage andtheir mort-gage companynever filed arelease oftheir mort-

gage.The mortgage company has

90 days from the date of thesatisfaction of a residentialmortgage to record the satis-faction in the county recorder’soffice, and pay any fees re-quired.

If the mortgage companyfails to comply, the mortgagormay recover, in a civil action,damages of $250. This does notpreclude or affect any otherlegal remedies that may beavailable to the mortgagor.

The recorder’s office isprobably one of the least known

about offices, yet one of themost important county offices.Without the work of the countyrecorder in recording, orga-nizing and safe keeping alldocuments in a competent andlegal manner, it would be near-ly impossible to purchase landand be assured of a clear titleor to lend money with land assecurity.

If you would like to check ona payoff, the Hamilton CountyRecorder’s Office is at 138 E.Court St., Room 205, Cincinnati,OH 45202.

You may wish to check ourwebsite recordersoffice.hamilton-co.org, beforecoming downtown for prelimi-nary document information.You may have to visit the officeto see the document imagethough. Copies of the docu-ments are available for $2 perpage when assisted, and 25cents self service.

Just because school is out forsummer doesn’t mean studentsaren’t getting an education.

Good Shepherd Catholic Montes-sori School once again conducted itssummer Montessori program forstudents age 3-6. This is the secondyear of the program, which had les-sons on nature taught by Julia Dam-ico, a Montessori teacher.

During the four-week program,students looked for fossils on theschool’s14-acre property and learnedabout plants, ocean life, insects andbirds.

Damico said students also built abird bath and spent much of theirtime outdoors soaking up the sun andtaking in nature.

1 teaspoon ginger1 teaspoon peppercorns3 cups vinegar, clear or cider

Combine cucumber andonions and layer with salt,cover with ice cubes andlet stand 1½ hours. Drain,rinse, drain again. Com-bine remaining ingredi-ents in pan and bring toboil. Add cucumbers andonions and return to a boil.Pack hot pickles and liquidinto hot jars, leaving¼-inch headspace. Re-move air bubbles. Adjusttwo-piece caps if usingcanning jars. Let cool toroom temperature beforerefrigerating. You don’tneed to process these ifyou are storing in therefrigerator, but if you aregoing to store them in thepantry, it’s a good idea todo that by processing 10minutes in a boiling waterbath.

Quick-and-easywashtub pickles

For Marilyn and Law-rence. Donna Woods sentthis recipe to me last yearand it continues to be amuch-requested one dur-ing cucumber season. Shetold me: “It has been afamily favorite for over 30years. I have many fondmemories making thiswith my dad. We wouldmix it in a laundry tub.”

Donna said when youmix the ingredients to-gether, it will look a bitdry at first, but as it sitsthe juices will come out.They remind me a little of

bread-and-butter pickles,minus the turmeric. Theseare delicious with delimeat sandwiches. Donna’soriginal recipe called for ajar of drained pimentos,but I used red bell peppersand I also sliced the car-rots instead of choppingthem. I’ve also substitutedcider for clear vinegar.These are the only adapta-tions I made – no need toimprove on perfection!

Pickles:Mix together:

3 quarts thinly slicedcucumbers

2 cups thinly sliced greenpeppers

2 cups thinly sliced onions2 cups thinly sliced carrots2 red bell peppers, chopped

(optional)

Brine:Mix together:

2 tablespoons celery seed3 cups sugar1⁄3 cup salt

2 cups clear or cider vinegar

Pour brine over veg-gies. Let sit several hourson counter, stirring everyonce in a while. Store inrefrigerator.

Tips from Rita’skitchen

Sweet potatoes forbaby: When choosingsweet potatoes for yourbaby, look for ones thatare firm, with no bruisesor cracks. Medium sizedones tend to have the besttexture – large ones cansometimes be stringy.Don’t store your sweetpotatoes in the refriger-

ator. I think it ruins theirflavor and can make themtough. Instead, keep themin a cool, dark place.

Removing corn fromcob: Put the corn in thecenter hole of a Bundt orangel food pan. This an-chors the corn so you canscrape the kernels offeasily, and the kernelsdrop right into the pan.

Can you help?Soy sauce sub for

Ellen S. from WesternHills. “My sons are bothallergic to soy and somany recipes call for soysauce – including thatdelicious sounding beefpot roast with garlic andginger.”

Dewey’s Pizza Greeksalad dressing for AngelaL. “I am interested inreplicating Dewey’s Greeksalad dressing. Do youhave any ideas? It is a red,I think sun-dried tomatobase.”

Record low mortgagerates are prompting morepeople to enter the hous-ing market – often first-time home owners. We allknow it’s important to geta house inspected beforeyou buy, but be careful.Not all inspections arealike and you could end upwith a nightmare.

Christina Howard saysshe feels the Fairfieldhouse she and her husbandbought earlier this year isturning into a money pit.“Where we first noticedproblems was in the utilityroom when you run thedishwasher … The dish-

washer wasleaking acontinuousleak. Whenyou turnedit on, it gotworse andthat’s howwe saw it aweek aftermoving in,”Howard

says.All that water has cre-

ated major problems inthe house. “The wholebottom of the cabinetsrotted out. A contractorsaid it would cost moremoney to rebuild if wetake off just the bottom. Itwould cost more money torebuild them than to justbuy new ones,” Howard

says.Repairs are estimated

to cost thousands of dol-lars, money the Howardscan’t afford, so they’vebegun the clean-up them-selves and found a lot ofmold. “Mold is on theinside of a wall so youcan’t merely bleach allthat. It’s three walls, thewhole kitchen floor, thewhole dining room floor,and we spent the last threeweeks doing demolition,”Howard says.

The Howards 16-year-old son has a room rightnext to the kitchen and hewas so allergic to the moldhis eyes swelled shut. Hehad to leave the house forweeks while the moldremediation was done.

“Everybody’s pointingfingers but nobody wantsto take responsibility forit,” Howard says.

But what about thatwhole house inspectionthey got before buying?Howard says they calledthe inspection companybut it won’t call themback. I checked the in-spection company’s bro-chure and found it doesnot display the symbol ofthe American Society ofHome Inspectors. I alwaysrecommend you hire anASHI-certified homeinspector – especially inOhio, where no license isrequired, so anybody cancall themselves a homeinspector. ASHI certifica-tion means the inspectorhas a certain amount ofexperience and must passa series of tests.

Another problem is thatthe Howards got the nameof the home inspectorfrom their real estateagent. That’s not recom-mended because there’s aconflict of interest. Theinspector can feel obligat-ed not to reveal problemsso the sale goes through.

No home inspector isgoing to guarantee theywon’t miss something, butyou’re better off using anASHI-certified homeinspector you pick your-self.
