How about when you and your neighbor disagree about whose property the apples are falling on. When you want to be a Hoot- ers girl? Oh, and when you sign an agreement with Columbia Township to temporarily store vehicles in the township’s for- mer firehouse and discover af- terward that the vehicles are four inches too tall to fit through the entrance. That’s what the Hamilton County Public Health depart- ment recently learned. Columbia Township Admin- istrator Mike Lemon told the township Board of Trustees in September that the health de- partment had contacted the township to ask if it could store some command vehicles for emergency pre- paredness in the old firehouse at 6904 Murray Ave., which is in the township’s Madison Place neighborhood. “We have signed an agree- ment to do that and they will be picking up any utility expenses and hold us harmless for any- thing that might happen,” Lem- on said then, noting that it was not a lease, per se, but an agree- ment that Columbia Township – which plans to eventually sell the building – can end with 30 days’ notice. Now, Lemon has an update. “After getting the agree- ment together and having ev- eryone sign it, the attorneys re- view it and everything else, the county went and measured the ac- tual opening where they want- ed to store the equipment and, unfortunately, it was four inches too short,” Lem- on said. “Or, I should say, the vehi- cles were four inches too tall and as a result they can’t utilize it. “So we have basically voided the agreement,” Lemon said. A spokesman for Hamilton County Public Health is not de- nying anything. “That is in fact a true story,” said Mike Samet, public infor- mation officer. “We were just a few inches short of finding a nice place to store our vehicles.” Meanwhile, Lemon said the old firehouse, which has been appraised at $210,000, has gen- erated “significant interest.” The township is taking it slow with the property, which the Little Miami Joint Fire & Rescue District mothballed when new firehouses were built in Fairfax and Newtown. Columbia Township officials believe its future use is impor- tant, given its proximity to sites the township has targeted for traffic and economic-develop- ment initiatives. The former firehouse is not far from a proposed traffic roundabout at Bramble Avenue and Plainville Road or from commercial areas on Wooster Pike, on Plainville Road and at Ridge and Highland avenues where Columbia Township and Fairfax are creating a joint eco- nomic-development zone. “Sometimes you get a quick sale, and I understand there’s certainly merit to that,” Colum- bia Township Trustee David Kubicki said. “But the flip side of that is we’ve got some things we’re trying to create right now . . . (and) that’s a very strategic piece of ground.” The former firehouse was built in 1950 and later enlarged to its current size of nearly 7,300 square feet. It sits on 0.12 acres of land and has two garage bays at street level, private offices and an office/living area on the up- per level and a kitchen area, storage and two large garage bays below street grade. Voters in the Little Miami Joint Fire & Rescue District passed a levy in 2009 to build a new fire station at 5800 Wooster Pike in Fairfax, which opened in March, and a new fire station at 7036 Main St. in Newtown, which opened in 2011.

    COLUMBIA TWP. Can youthink of three times when ameasuring tape would come inhandy?

    How about when you andyour neighbor disagree aboutwhose property the apples arefalling on.

    When you want to be a Hoot-ers girl?

    Oh, and when you sign anagreement with ColumbiaTownship to temporarily storevehicles in the townships for-mer firehouse and discover af-terward that the vehicles arefour inches too tall to fitthrough the entrance.

    Thats what the HamiltonCounty Public Health depart-ment recently learned.

    county went andmeasured the ac-tual openingwhere theywant-ed to store theequipment and,unfortunately, itwas four inchestoo short, Lem-on said.

    Or, I should say, the vehi-cles were four inches too talland as a result they cant utilizeit.

    Sowehavebasically voidedthe agreement, Lemon said.

    A spokesman for HamiltonCounty Public Health is not de-nying anything.

    That is in fact a true story,said Mike Samet, public infor-mation officer.

    Several St. Ursula Academystudents recently took part in aShantytown experience witha goal of increasing awarenessof homelessness and hunger inour area through education andparticipation.

    Students created makeshifthomes from boxes and otherfound materials. In addition,they listened to speakers fromthe Homeless Coalition as theyshared personal stories and dis-cussed obstacles for those fac-ing homelessness-lack of af-fordable housing and a livingwage.

    Junior Barbara Castelliniparticipated in the event andnow has a completely differentperspective of homelessness.This event helped me breakdown the stereotypes of thosewho are homeless. A personwho is experiencing homeless-ness often faces an uphill battleof paperwork and long waits tochange their situation.

    Studentshad theopportunityto talk with a young lady whohad experienced homelessnesswhile she was in high school, a

    crisis that resonated with someof the students. I cant imaginefacing being homeless in addi-tion to the other pressuresfacedwhile inhigh school, saidsenior Meredith Stautberg.

    Senior Sarah Becker was in-spired by the motivation andperseverance needed to over-come homelessness and seniorKenzie Corbin, who participat-ed in the event for the second

    time, plans to major in SocialJustice incollegeso thatshecanseek solutions to the social in-justiceswe face inmodern soci-ety.

    This event was coordinatedwith the 3rd annual EmptyBowls event in which Art andDesign students raised moneyfor the ParishKitchen inNorth-ern Kentucky. The weekendended with a prayer service.

    Wrestlers in the EasternHills Journal coverage area be-gin the season with growingnumbers and high hopes for atrip to state come February.

    MariemontThe Warriors want to make

    the next step this season.Were trying to go from

    state qualifiers to state plac-ers, said head coach RodneyCash. Thats the expectation,to keep getting better.

    Junior Dominik Butler qual-ifiedfor thestate tournamentat106 pounds as a sophomore. Hewill wrestle at 113 this season.Classmate Riley Hendersonwas a state alternate at 138 whomoves up to 145.

    SeniorDaveBao is outwith abroken forearmto start the sea-son,butshouldcontributeat195later in the year.

    Cash has only eight wres-tlers on the roster, so look forsome new faces to make an im-mediate impact. Among themare sophomoresRyanHall (132-138), BrianGannoway (126) andAndrew Cosatino (132).

    Keep an eye on freshmenDrewFlorienza (113),whowasajunior high state qualifier lastseason, and classmate Joe Go-heen (126-132).

    Were getting there, Cashsaid of his program. We have afew more kids than we did lastyear. Wed likemore, of course,but I feel like this group can bevery successful.

    Cash said Reading and DeerPark should be the top teams inthe Cincinnati Hills League; hissquad gets a look at the Wild-cats right awayas theyopen theseason Dec. 7 at the Deer ParkInvitational. Mariemont comeshome tohost aDec.12 tri-matchwith Purcell Marian and Nor-wood.

    Purcell MarianThe Cavaliers are shooting

    for their third straight GCLCentral championship. Theteams experienced veteranswill be complemented by an in-fusion of young talent.

    We are coming off a hugeyear last year winning the GCLCentral for the second consec-utive year in a row, andwehavesome guys coming back thatcan bring a lot of experienceinto the wrestling room to helpout all of the young new wres-tlers that we have this year,said head coach Bill Antle.

    Seniors Kyle McCarthy andT.J. Burse lead the way, alongwith junior Tony Meinking andsophomore Jake McCarthy.Those four returning starterswill be joined by a group of newwrestlers looking to build onPurcell Marians revitalizedwrestling tradition.

    Also, Im very impressedwith all of our new wrestlers,

    saidAntle. They are very goodathletesand theyarepickingup

    the sport very fast. Im excitedto see what they can do for theteam this year.

    The Cavs open the season onDec. 5 at Madeira.

    Summit Country DayThe Silver Knights finished

    last season with only five wres-tlers on the mats. New headcoach Jim Covert already im-proved the numbers with a doz-en out so far to start the year.

    Im still working on gettinga few more out, Covert said.The football team made theplayoffs, so those guys are justgetting back and Ive got myeye on a few of them that hope-fully we can get to come out.

    Even without additionalgrapplers, Covert has someskill at his disposal.

    Its definitely good, hesaid. I was pleasantly sur-prised at where the talent levelis and where it can go fromhere. I thinkwecan fare towardthe top (of the Miami Valley

    Conference). North CollegeHill always has a full lineupwhich makes them tough, andCHCA has some really goodkids, but I think we can com-pete.

    Sophomore Eavionne Laneyreturns after being a districtqualifier at 220 pounds as afreshman. Also back senior Bil-ly France (152) Stuart Soltman(160)andAustinNorthern (170).Joining them are juniors RileyFaucett (126) and Jesse Camp-bell (145).

    Freshman Joshua Campbell(138) Jesses younger brother should make an immediatevarsity impact.

    Summit opens the seasonDec. 7 in the Bearcat Brawl atWalton Verona (Ky.) and comeshome to host a tri-match featur-ingPurcellMarianandWesternBrown Dec. 20.

    Walnut HillsThere is a different level of

    excitement surrounding theEagles wrestling program thisyear. Walnut Hills is enjoyingan athletic renaissance and thewrestling program is the latestteam to benefit.

    Over the past five years, theEagles have practiced at a gymin Lockland, an elementaryschools in Carthage and Fair-mont, andachurch inEvanston.They had to borrow wrestlingmats fromneighboringschools.Scavenging for mats and gymtime is now a thing of the past.

    We will finally get our ownwrestling mat. We also get topractice in our newly renovat-ed gym, head coach Emmer-sonMincy said. All of our new-foundfortunehasalsobeenmetwith a sharp increase in ourplayer roster. We are definitelypoised for a breakthrough thisseason.

    The Eagles are led by sopho-moreMarcusMyles, junior Ed-ward Hampton, and seniorsPerry Stargel and Randall Min-cy. Freshman Quinton Mincyjoins the varsity after placingfifth in the state in junior highschool.

    We have a tremendousamount of depth this season,said Mincy. Most of our start-ers wrestled close to 50 match-es last year, and the experiencethat theygarneredwillmakeusa much stronger team thisyear.

    WithrowThe Tigers have won five

    straight Cincinnati Metro Ath-letic Conference champion-ships. The goal this year is tofind more success in the post-season.Withrow has a lot of tal-ent to replace, with the gradua-tion of Nick Isaacs, the teamslone state qualifier in 2013, andChris Tombs, the 2013 CMACwrestler of the year.

    The Tigers also welcome anew head coach in Chris Smith.

    DAYTON For the sec-ond-consecutive week, theMoeller Crusaders half-time adjustments helpedto continue their footballplayoffmarch.

    This week coach JohnRodenbergs teamshut outHilliard Davidson in thesecondhalfenroutetoa13-11 win Nov. 30 in the Divi-sion I, Region 2 finals, alsoplayingas the state semifi-nals, at Dayton WelcomeStadium.

    After shuttingdowntheColerain triple-option of-fense a week ago, the Cru-saders limited the Wild-cats to just 61 second-halfyardsaftergivingup168inthe first half.

    Everybody keeps say-ing theyre like Colerainand they are, but theyrenot, Rodenberg said. We just needed to settledown and figure out whatwas going to work for us.We played a team thats13-0andweknewitwasgo-ing to be a battle.

    Sophomore kickerMat-thew Coghlin proved to bethe star for the Crusaders.He nailed a 23-yard fieldgoal to pull his teamwithinone at11-10with seven sec-onds to play in the firsthalf.With6:06toplayinthethird quarter the sopho-more hit a 27-yarder thatprovedtobethegame-win-ner and the only score ofthe second half for eitherteam.

    Cogs been great, Ro-denbergsaid. Hesonlya sophomore and to knowyoucangeta fieldgoal likethat really helps in yourplay-calling because youdont have to take any un-

    necessary shots.The victory sends sec-

    ond-seeded Moeller to theDivision I state finals Dec.7at3p.m.atFawcettStadi-um in Canton, where theywill look to defend theirstate championshipagainst Mentor HighSchool, who beat Lake-wood St. Edward 41-38,Nov. 30.

    For Moeller quarter-back Gus Ragland, thestate championship gameis starting to become thenorm. In addition to mak-inghis second straight tripto the football title game,Ragland was part of the2012 state championshipbaseball teamatMoeller.

    Ive been surroundedbyalotof talent, thatsfirstand foremost, and greatcoaching, the quarter-back said. When you putthose two things togetherwith hard work, greatthings happen. Its kind ofcool to just keep on win-ningandImkindofonalit-tle streak here; I keep get-tingbacktothestatecham-pionship. Ill take it, but Ijust want to thank the peo-ple aroundme.

    Ragland finished with143 yards rushing and 59yards through the air on 3-of-9 passing and a touch-down.Its thesixth-consec-utive game the quarter-back has rushed for 100-plus yards.

    Raglands 41-yardtouchdown pass to ChasePankeyopenedthescoringwith 10:06 to play in thefirst quarter. TheWildcatsanswered back less thanfourminutes laterwitha5-yard scoring run by run-ning back D.D. Clark. Hil-liard added to their leadwitha44-yardfieldgoalby

    Robert LeFevre tomake it11-7 with 2:55 to play in thefirst half, but that was alltheWildcatswould get.

    They are a heck of afootball team and I dontknow if theyve gotten thecredit they deserve thisyear, Rodenberg said.Im just happy with whatwe did.

    TheCrusadersare look-ing to go back to back forthefirsttimesince1976-77.

    I feel great for thekids, Rodenberg said.These guys work realhardanditsallaboutthem;its all about the 2013team.

    Extracurricular activities are essentialI recently read in a state-

    wide survey that, overwhelm-ingly, Ohio residents believestudent extracurricular activ-ities, like athletic teams, musicgroups and other afterschoolclubs, are essential elements ofthe educational experience andvital to producing well-roundedstudents.

    I was pleased to see theseresults and could not agreemore with the role these activ-ities play in creating a compre-hensive educational experiencefor our children.

    Student involvement inactivities outside the classroomis a key component of ourschool districts philosophy,and we are fortunate to have

    students whowant to partici-pate.

    In our 2012-2013 QualityProfile, wereported that82 percent ofour junior highand highschool stu-dents partici-

    pated in the many athleticteams, clubs and activities weoffer in our district. This is animpressive number!

    And our students dont justparticipate; they excel and riseto the top. This fall, we cele-brated many accomplishmentsin athletics.

    Our athletes and coaches didan outstanding job represent-ing us in playoffs, bringinghome CHL championships,earning district honors andcompeting for state titles. Ihave no doubt that we will seethe same from our winter andspring athletes in the comingmonths.

    Additionally, I had great funwatching and listening to theMariemont High School march-ing band on Friday nights.What excitement, spirit andtalent this group of studentspossesses week after week!

    Our high school studentsalso just wrapped up their fallplay production, Almost,Maine. These performers

    were outstanding in their craft,showcasing yet more impres-sive talents.

    Our student clubs also strivefor excellence. The high schoolKey Club recently raised over$12,000 to eliminate maternaland neonatal tetanus aroundthe world and was named thewinner of 4C for Childrensthird annual Champions forChildren: The Next GenerationAward.

    This is just one example; wehave many clubs at all gradelevels doing great things forour schools and communities.

    Indeed, we are fortunate tohave such committed and tal-ented students, knowing theyare already expressing them-

    selves as leaders of tomorrow.We are also fortunate to

    have a community that sup-ports our young people - volun-teering as coaches, mentorsand event staff; filling the seatsat events to cheer on our stu-dents; and encouraging anenvironment of collaboration.

    Providing these enrichingopportunities for individualachievement is part of ourschool mission.

    Wemust inspire our stu-dents, our Leaders of Tomor-row - Not just because it is partof our school mission, but be-cause it is part of our tradition.

    The upcoming holidayseasonmeans celebrating joywith the people you cherish.Those festive gatherings canalso be an opportune time forfamily members to noticetroubling signs of aging intheir parents or grandparents.

    Sadly, an American devel-ops Alzheimers disease every68 seconds, affecting nearlyone in nine adults over the ageof 65.

    In fact, the U.S. populationis gradually aging, and sincethe risk for Alzheimers in-creases with age Ohio is esti-mated to reach 250,000 Alz-heimers cases by 2025, ac-cording to the AlzheimersAssociation (www.alz.org).

    Although there is currentlyno cure, no prevention and noway to slow down the disease,early detection can impactquality of life. As familiesreturn home for the holidays,or visit parents and grandpar-ents out-of-town, caretakersand adult children should bevigilant of the 10 early signsand symptoms of Alzheimersdisease and other forms ofdementia.

    1. Be aware of warningsigns that disrupt daily life,such as: Late notices fromutility companies or othermonthly recurring bills stack-ing up.

    2. Forgetting a familiarfamily recipe could be a signof challenges in planning orproblem solving.

    3. Difficulty completingfamiliar tasks, like getting toa family members house.

    4. Confusion with time orplace, such as: If they dontunderstand that Thanksgivingdinner is happening or forgethow they got to dinner.

    5. Difficulty reading, judg-ing distance and determiningcolor contrast. This shouldntbe confused with typical age-related vision changes relatedto cataracts.

    6. Repeating himself orherself, or forgetting whatthey were talking about in themiddle of conversation.

    7. Misplacing everydayitems in unusual places.

    8. Poor judgment in dealingwith money or paying lessattention to grooming or keep-ing themselves clean.

    9. Withdrawal from social

    situations, likeavoiding holi-day celebra-tions altogeth-er.

    10. Clearsigns of anxi-ety, urgency,agitation,paranoia orappearingconfusedabout his or

    her surroundings.If you notice a loved one

    experiencing these symp-toms, its important to encour-age them to see a doctor im-mediately. Once signs of de-mentia are detected, a com-plete medical andneuropsychological evalua-tion is needed. Determiningthe severity of the condition iscritical for future treatment.

    The holidays are a specialtime for families to cometogether. I encourage you toalso use it as a time to check-in on aging loved ones andassess if theymay need help.It could be the best holidaygift you give.

    Last weeks questionThe Ohio House has passed a

    billwhichwould redefineself-de-fense and circumstances wherethe use of force trumps the dutyto retreat to public settings, suchas stores and streets. Under cur-rent law, residents need not re-treat before using force if theyare lawfully in their homes, vehi-cles or the vehicle of an immedi-ate family member. Is this goodlegislation? Why or why not?

    No, its not a good idea. Thislawwould not be close to neces-sary if white people werent soprejudiced and paranoid thatnon-white individuals (anyonewith brown or darker skin)were criminals. Look whatstand your ground in Floridadid to Trayvon Martin.

    TRog

    OH Boy...this is a good top-ic. The duty to retreat in publicareas when imminent threatsareposed isbynature is to ductand retreat of a human being.

    But some circumstances,

    standing the ground no matterwhere you are as a concealedcarrying citizen is not going tobe an option to retreat. Youhave to act quickly as anytrained police officer will haveto act.

    Yes, Ohio legislation tochange this is right on. Crimi-nals wont think twice abouttaking deadly actions to any-one, and every citizen has theright to defend.

    O.H.R.

    Already these bills havecaused deaths. Since the guywho murdered Treyvon Martin

    in Florida pulled his gun on hisowngirlfriend, some folkshavebeen able to put this issue inslightly better focus. And aMichigan case recently decid-ed against a person who shot astranger in the face, apparentlyfor coming to his door and ask-ing for some sort of help. Wewill apparently never know.

    Ninety-eight out of every100 gun deaths is accomplishedwith a gun which was pur-chased by the deceased, a fam-ilymember or a friend.Thegunlobbyhas utterly failed tomakegood on their promise to useeducation to rein in this car-nage.

    Controlling guns doesntmean making them inaccessi-ble. Laws like this just make ig-norant people think it is OK toblast first andaskquestions lat-er. (We already have also had ashooting in a school, resultingfrom a child being silly with asecurity guards gun. Wasntthat a bright idea - put guns inthe schools!)

    During the holidayseason, I stock up onbags of walnuts and jarsof honey to make ourtraditional baklava for

    Christmasgiving. Ourwholefamily getsinvolved,from theadults tothe tod-dlers. To-day andfor thenext fewweeks Ill

    be sharing some favor-ites for you to try. Takeadvantage of the goodprices on raw nuts, too.They freeze well forseveral months.

    Chardonnay-soakedgolden raisins

    Wemade these a fewyears ago in cookingclass and they were a hit.I like to scrape out seedsfrom the vanilla bean andadd those to the liquidalong with the bean.Served over Brie withcrackers, the raisinsmake elegant horsdoeuvres and a jar ofthemmakes an unusualgift from the kitchen. Ifyou dont like Brie,smear a little soft goatcheese on a toasted ba-guette and top with rai-sins. I have made thisrecipe with Riesling, andit turned out just a littlebit sweeter, but verynice.

    112 cups water1 cup chardonnay or Chabliswine

    13 cup sugar1 vanilla bean, pounded flatand then split open and

    cut in half1 cup golden raisins

    Combine water, wineand sugar. Bring to sim-mer and simmer 5 min-utes. Remove from heat,add vanilla bean andraisins. Let steep 12hours or so. Drain rai-sins, reserve liquid. Dis-card bean. Return liquidto pan and bring to boil.Youll have about 114cups. Reduce to 13 cup.The sauce will be deepamber. Cool a bit and stirin raisins. Store in refrig-erator up to a month, andbring to room temper-ature before using.

    Gin-soaked goldenraisins for arthritis

    No, not a gift from thekitchen, but a time-hon-ored home remedy withanti-inflammatory qual-ities. I had some raisinsleft over so I made abatch. I had forgottenabout making these untilI saw Dr. Oz talkingabout them. Check outmy blog for the recipe.

    Barbie Hahns chililime peanuts

    Barbie and I both havebeen regular guests onFox 19 morning show.She is known as the Sub-urban Chef. Barbiemakes lots of homemadeedibles, including thissavory one. Barbie toldme: I make these forthose who dont have asweet tooth. They make anice addition to a giftbasket.

    6 cups cocktail peanuts,unsalted

    6 tablespoons lime juice6 tablespoons chili powder

    12 to 1 teaspoon cayennepepper

    4 teaspoons Kosher or seasalt

    Mix all ingredientstogether and spread outin a single layer on bak-ing sheets. Bake at 250degrees for 45 minutes,stirring every 15 min-utes. Keeps fresh in air-tight container for threeweeks. This also makes agreat combo gift with afriends favorite six packof beer.

    UNITED METHODIST

    The website Craigslistis a great place for find-ing lots of things fromjobs to cars.

    It is also a placewhere, if youre not care-ful, you can very easilyget scammed. Thatswhat a local woman saysalmost happened to her.

    Kathryne Oakes, ofSt. Bernard, advertised ahat for sale on Craigslistand says she receivedseveral e-mails request-ing more information.But one e-mail was froma person who said shelived in Texas and want-ed to buy the hat.

    Oakes says she e-mailed her name andaddress so she couldreceive payment for the

    hat. Shethen re-ceived aFedExpackagewith acheck for$2,150eventhough shewas onlyasking

    $400 for the hat.A letter with the

    check advised Oakes tosend the rest of the mon-ey to a shipper whowould then deliver thehat. Oakes attempted tofollow the directions but,because she doesnt havea bank account to depositthe check as instructed,she took the check to a

    check cashing store.Oakes says the check

    cashing store noted thecheck did not come fromthe woman allegedlybuying the hat, but fromsomeone else entirelyand so would not cashthe check. In fact, shesays the store wouldntgive back the check soshe could take it to thepolice department. NowOakes says shes embar-rassed and angry believ-ing she may be associat-ed with trying to pass abad check.

    The check cashingstore advised Oakes theonly form of paymentshe should accept for herhat is fromWesternUnion. Of course, thats

    the same method of pay-ment that so-called Tex-as woman wanted Oakesto use to send the re-mainder of the check.

    Oakes says she wantsto get the word out aboutthis scam so others dontgo through what she didand, she says, worse yetthey may get taken forthe money. Oakes saysshe researched thebank and the companythe check was issuedfrom and both seemedlegit to me. But, whilethe company is legiti-mate, the check wasntsent by that firm it wassent by a thief who stolethat checking accountinformation.

    This is a scam that

    been going on for quite awhile and it takes vari-ous forms. Sometimes, athief will claim to havehired you to be a Mys-tery Shopper and sendyou a check. One ofthose places will beWestern Union whenyoure to wire money tothem. Of course, if youfollow the thiefs in-structions you will havedeposited his boguscheck into your bankaccount. You wont knowhis check is bad untilafter youve wired himyour good money.

    Other scams involvesending you a boguscheck for several thou-sand dollars allegedly soyou can pay for the taxes

    on the sweepstakes prizeyou just won. Youre toldto deposit the check andthen wire the money tothe sweepstakes office.Again, you dont learnuntil its too late that thecheck sent you is bogusand youre now liable torepay the bank.

    Bottom line, bewareof checks and moneyorders sent from strang-ers, often sent by FedExand UPS to avoid thepost office and its postalinspectors. And neverwire money to someoneyou dont know.
