Finneytown — Demolitioncrews have leveled the formerAngelo’sFamilyRestaurantandBar at 8270 Winton Road in tomake way for a Bob Evans res-taurant.

Springfield Township Assis-tant Administrator Chris Gil-bert said that Bob Evans FarmsLLC first approached the town-ship in late 2012 to discuss rede-velopment of the site.

“They pulled back theirideas of development to workthrough new prototypes of

stores,” he said. “They plan tobuild a restaurant that is thefirst of its kind for the compa-ny.”

Bob Evans Corporate Com-municationsDirectorMargaretStanding said construction isslated tobeginMay20withaan-ticipated open date of Sept. 30.

The restaurant will have 37tables andadiningcounter for atotal of 131 seats, she said. Theatmosphere and foodwill be thesame but the facade will not.

Gilbert said the township isexcited for the new develop-ment on the half-acre plot.

“It’s important for us as a

township to show progress forany retailers that might be in-terested indevelopinghere,” hesaid. “We’re excited that BobEvans chose the site. The build-ing has a contemporary urbanlook which really fits in.”

Standing said the Bob Evanscorporation is equally as excit-ed to build on the 8270 WintonRoad site.

“The Cincinnati market hasbeen a strong one for us in our60 years of business with BobEvans restaurants,” she said.“We’re thrilled to begin con-struction on our newest restau-rant in Finneytown.”

Mount Healthy Mayor JoeRoetting actually said, “If youbuild it, they will come.”

He was referring to fam-ilies flocking to the city parkafter updates are made with a$100,000 CommunityDevelop-ment Block Grant.

The laundry list of updatesinclude: 18-hole mini golfcourse, skate park elements,bandstand/stage, new walk-ways, sound system, securitysystem, landscaping and light-ing.

But trying to complete allthose projects for $100,000 isnot feasible so the MountHealthy Park Committee metrecently to develop a priori-tized list to present to citycouncil for consideration. Theboard said they wanted to in-stall a nine-hole mini golfcourse, some skate park ele-ments and lay groundwork forthe stage and access paths.

“They’ve made some gooddecisions and narrowed itdown to something that pro-vides priorities for kids andteenagers,” said architect Pat-rickHoagland ofBrandstetterCarroll Inc., who will be han-dling theparkupdates. “Thesethings are going to make it amuch more fun place and at-tract people.”

Hesaidhe is going to revisethe concept plan he presentedto the parks commission to fitin their budget.

After the parks committee

receives the new plans, theywill present them to councilfor approval and see if there isenough money in the budgetfor any additional renova-tions.

“We’re trying to get themost use for themoney,”Roet-ting said.

But not every citizen thinksthe grant is being utilized as itshould.ResidentKarenArnettsaid she was opposed to thepark renovation.

In a letter to the parks com-mittee, shewrote, “Ourpark iscurrently not being used to itsfullest, and instead of buildingmore hardscape (buildings)we ought to be focusing onbuilding community.”

She said she thought it wasmore important to developyouth programs.

Roetting said that in orderto obtain the grant, they had toidentify how themoney wouldbe spent. This was done threeyears ago and cannot bechanged or the funding wouldnot be available.

“The citizens of MountHealthydeserve this,” he said.

running, and I thoughtabout it overmy vacationand decided to do it,” hesaid. “I’ve still got somethings I can contribute,”

He brings more than30 years of experiencewith him. Moore workedfor the village from 1974through 2008 in a varietyof roles, most recentlymunicipal manager. Hereturned for a brief stintas interim municipalmanager in 2010, duringthe search for and hiringof current municipalmanager Evonn Kovach.

“I have a lot of years ofexperience with the vil-lage,” he said. “I want tosee this village continueto be a good place to live.”

During his tenure, hesaid he was part of manycommunity initiatives.The village redesignedandrebuilt theGreenhillspool, addressed a flood-ing problem createdwhen building the J sec-tion and rebuilt streetsand replaced curbs.

Moore said he worked toattract Johnny’s ToyStore, Mobilcomm, andthe Alois Alzheimer Cen-ter and obtained severalmillion dollars in grants,to partially fund some ofthose projects.

Moore said Greenhillsattained National Histor-ic Registry Status, anddeveloped the first prop-erty maintenance code inthe late 1970s while hewas on board. With coun-cil’s approval, and fundedin part by a bond issue ap-proved by the citizens, hehelped develop a plan forthe revitalization of dete-riorating housing in theVillage.

He says he remainedactive after his retire-ment and has worked onthe Master Plan Commit-tee, the Charter ReviewCommission, and he is amember of the nonprofitGreenhills CommunityImprovement Corpora-tion.

Moore said financialstability is an importantissue for him.

“We have tomake surethe village remains finan-cially solvent while stillmaintaining our qualityof life in Greenhills,” hesaid.

Moore is married withtwo children and fourgrandchildren.

Waltherr, 61, says sheis running for mayor be-cause she believes shecan serve the communitywell in that capacity.

She is a naturalizedUScitizencomingfromCubawith her family as a smallchild and settling in Fair-field in 1969. She retiredfrom the Mariemont CitySchool District after 37

years in education, teach-ingatboth thehighschooland college levels. Wal-therr is fluent in four lan-guages and works as aninterpreter for HamiltonCounty courts.

Waltherr says she isconcerned that some ofthe experience her oppo-nent in the primary hascould lead to conflict inthe operations of the vil-lage.

“The village charter isclear that the govern-ment is set up as amayor-council-manager plan,”she said. “It was intendedthat there be a separationof powers. I support ourmunicipal managerEvonne Kovach and I amconcerned that having aformer manager as may-or could result in con-flicts.”

Waltherr said she isconcerned that Moorewill not be able to refrainfrom attempting to mi-cromanage the daily op-erations. She said thatconcern was one of theprimary reasons she isrunning for mayor.

Waltherr brings expe-rience of her own to therace. Elected in 2011, sheis chairwoman of the vil-lage’s Government Af-fairs, Laws and RulesCommittee and co-chairsthe Traffic and SafetyCommittee.

She says the power ofthemayor’soffice is tosetagendas and appointmembers to commis-sions. She would discour-agewhat she describes as“rash and speculativeventures” such as buyingproperties that she saysresulted in nearly $3 mil-lion in debt and burdened

the village residents withproperties that need cost-ly repairs and demoliton.

“We have a wonderfulcommunity here, and weneed to protect it,” shesaid. She says one way todo that is through the ap-pointmentofpeople to theplanning commission andboard of zoning appealswho will protect thegreenspace from com-mercial development andpreserve the character ofthe village. She says shewill not support “cookiecutter” development.

Shewouldalso supportvigorous enforcement ofthe zoning code for viola-tions at the GreenhillsShopping Center.

“Perhaps if the owneris fined for these viola-tions, he will decide itwould be less costly tojust make the needed re-pairs,” she said.

Shesaysshe isastrongsupporter of the policeand fire departments inthe village, describingthevolunteerdepartmentas a “gem.” She also sup-ports protecting green-space as well as the vil-lagegreenbelt, andwantsto see the recreation com-mission and council workto develop soccer fieldsand walking trails in thevillage.

She is not a fan of thecharter’s emergencyclause except in rarecases.

“Having those read-ings gives our residentsthe opportunity to makecomments and have in-put,” she said. “I believethat’s important.”

Waltherr said at leastone member of theGreenhills RepublicanClub called to urge hernot to run in the primary.

“I don’t want to identi-fy the person, but theysaid thingsmightgetuglyif I stayed in the race.Theconversation made mevery uncomfortable,” shesaid. “Coming fromCuba,I understand about op-pression. I would not beintimidated into with-drawing.”

The winner of the pri-mary will be on the ballotNov. 5.

Waltherr’s councilterm runs through 2015.She would continue to siton council if she does notwin the primary race.

No oppositionThree Republicans

will be on the ballot forGreenhills Village Coun-cil as well: Melanie Bro-kaw, Glenn Drees andJack Lee.

TwoNorth College HillCityCouncilmembersarequestioning thevalidityofa charter amendment thatwas passed in November.

Council membersMaureenMasonandTere-sa Eilermann sued theHamilton County Boardof Elections and the cityof North College Hill cit-ing that the amendmentwhich enforced retroac-tive 12-year term limitsfor elected officials is un-constitutional.

They filed a complaintonMarch21, but theHam-ilton County Board ofElections was dismissedfrom the case on April 17.

“The law in Ohio isveryclear that youcannotmake term limits retroac-tive,” said attorney DavidPepper, who is represent-ing the council members.“Our case is very simple.It’s so blatant that it’s un-constitutional.”

After learning aboutthe suit, North CollegeHill residents Nick Link,Patrick Hartzel and Nickand Susan Wietlisbachsoughtcouncil fromattor-neys Curt Hartman andChristopher Finney, andthe four filed a motionwith United States Dis-trict Court Judge SusanDlott to intervene in thecase on April 15.

The four are membersof the community organi-zation Citizens for a Bet-terNorthCollegeHillwho

collected signatures lastyear to add the amend-ment to the ballot.

“The voters spoke inNovember that theywant-ed term limits and we’retrying to uphold that,”said Hartzel, who also is acity council member. “Idon’t know why (Masonand Eilermann) wouldwant to divert the will ofthe people.”

But Pepper said thatthe council members whofiled the suit were not try-ing to eliminate the termslimits but rather the ret-roactive portion of thevote.

“Nobody ischallengingthe vote or the term lim-its,” he said.

Nicholas Wietlisbachsaid the four got involvedto fight for the rights ofthe residents.

“I think it is sad themayor and his friends oncity council decided totake a weak-kneed posi-tion in this case,” Wietlis-bachwrote in an email re-sponse. “Our goal in thisintervention is to stand

for and remind the peoplethat there will always beindividuals fighting forthem even though manyof their own city electedrepresentatives refuse todo.”

Attorney Finney saidthe four want to defendthe charter amendment.

“Our North CollegeHill clients desire to enterinto the case to vindicatethe expressed will of thepeople through that char-ter amendment, and as-sure the full and promptimplementation of termlimits,” Finney wrote inan email response forcomments. “That the cityand plaintiffs want to pre-vent us from entering thelitigation to defend thecharter as amendedshows their contempt forboth the rule of law andthe voters of North Col-lege Hill.

After the motion wasfiled to intervene by thecitizens, the councilmem-bers filed a response onApril 24 in opposition say-ing that the four should

not intervene in the case.The four now have un-

tilMay 8 to file a responseand they have to wait forJudgeDlott tomake a rul-ing, Dlott’s district casemanager Bill Miller said.

“We’re kind of in limboand hoping for the best,”Link said. “We feel thevoters deserve to have avoice in this situation.”

Both Mason and Eiler-mann were advised bytheir attorney not to com-mentaboutpending litiga-tion.

Susan Wietlisbachsaid, in an email, that theintervention shows beingelected to city councilshould not be thought ofas an entitlement.

“My involvement is toprotect thewill of the peo-ple by standing up forthem when their voice isbeing silenced,” shewrote. “Last Novemberthe citizens spoke in oneresounding voice to passthis charter amendmentby a margin of 65 percentto 35 percent. The inter-vention will further serveas a reminder that cityelected office is not an en-titlement but rather aprivilege.”

Cameron Stair, 18,said he is making hismoney work for him.

The St. Xavier HighSchool senior is takingonmore than homework ashe recently invested hisinheritance into thestock market.

“I’ve always been in-terested in business andmoney,” he said. “I’mthinking about my fu-ture.”

In the first ninemonths of his invest-ment, the Mason resi-dent has already seen a23 percent return on his$17,000 investment.

“I have taken losses,”he said and shared his fi-nancial goal for the nextfive years. “I hope to beable to come out of col-lege debt free.”

Stair saidhebeforeheinvested his own money,he spent months study-ing different stocks,mapping things out onpaper and creating in-vestment scenarios withfake money.

“It was a practice ofmanaging money in anaccount,” he said.

He said he focused onlong-term investmentsand did not want to try toengage in high risk trad-ing.

“You can’t predict themarket day to day,” hesaid. “If you pick long-term investments you’regoing to get long-termgains.”

In his finance class,he’s been able to practicemore stock trading.

He andhis classmatesare participating in astock competitionagainst other schools insouthwest Ohio. Eachteam is given $100,000 offake money to spend onthe market and the teamwith the highest returnwins.

“We talk about themarket and I’ve told thekids in my finance classabout how I’m involvedoutside of class,” he said.“I have convinced otherkids to start doing it.”

Finance teacher EdNardini, 50, said he wasimpressed Stair’s dedi-cation.

“It doesn’t surpriseme that he’s doing well,”he said. “Cameron’s defi-nitely somebody wholearns by doing.”

He said that Stair hastalked to him about hisinvestments. Nardinijoked that he is trying toget financialadvicefromhis student.

“He’s a phenomenalstudent and person,” hesaid. “I would love tohave all my students belike Cameron.”

FINNEYTOWN — When DaveWolferst took over the Finney-town softball team prior to the2011 season, as he said, “wewere everybody’s homecominggame.”

In the two seasons before hetook over the team combinedfor five victories and went win-less in the Cincinnati HillsLeague.

“… I noticed we needed thegirls to learn how to compete,”

Wolferst said. “Our first-yearslogan was ‘compete’ and thegirls were competing in every-thing. … They bought into that,and our pillars, which we tookfrom (John) Wooden’s Pyramidof Success, are attitude and ef-fort.”

After installing the idea thatthe only two things his girls cancontrol are their attitudeandef-fort, Wolferst’s teams went acombined 31-11 in 2011 and ’12

and are on their way to a thirdconsecutive winning season in2013.

The Lady Wildcats are 9-2(6-1 CHL), tied for first in theCHL and basically control theirown destiny with two games re-maining against Deer Park andonegame leftwithReadingwhoareboth6-1in the leagueaswell.Finneytown already beat Read-ing 10-2, April 15.

Wolferst said they are

pleasedwith thestart of thesea-son.

“We still feel like we justaren’t clicking on all cylinders.We haven’t had the explosionsweareaccustomedto.…Alotofit is the pitchers have improvedand our kids need to adjust tothe pitching,” he said.

Onepersonwhohas adjustedis junior pitcherMeganGarner.

Coming off ACL surgerybefore her sophomoreseason, Garner believesshe had a down year lastseason and was deter-mined to show people thetypeofplayershereally isin 2013. She is third in theCHL with a .588 battingaverage, tied for firstwith nine wins on themound, fifth with a 1.93ERA and second with 91strikeouts.

“She is starting to findher stroke,” her coachsaid. “She is hitting theball the opposite way likeshe can. She is a verydriven young lady. Shehas her sights set at play-ing at the next level andshe wants to work at it.”

The team has receiveda huge boost from sopho-more Sierra Leigh. Afterhitting .222 last season asa spot starter for Wolf-erst, she has found hergroove as the startingshortstop and is hitting ata .394 clip and has alreadyeclipsed her RBI totalfrom a season ago.

“She has stepped upbig time,” the coach said.“She is comfortable (atshortstop) and is startingtorealizeshe isavitalpartfor us.”

While a CHL title is insight, it is the last thing onWolferst’s mind.

“… We have to worryabout what we are goingto get day to day,” he said.“… We have some verygood teams in this leagueand if we don’t show up toplay it doesn’t matter, wewon’t ever be in the dis-cussion.”

STATE SPEAKER

Winton Woods High School junior Anthony Thompson is Hamilton County’s representative at the statelevel of the Joseph S. Rumbaugh Historical Oration Contest, sponsored by the Sons of the AmericanRevolution. Thompson’s essay, “The Freedom to Be Revolutionary,” begins with Jefferson’s creation ofthe Declaration of Independence and discusses how “a colonial war fought with muskets and cannonshas become a modern war fought with ideas and aspirations, yet no less a struggle in that both warshave been fought for the sake of acquiring and maintaining democratic liberties.” The contest isdesigned to explore the influence of the Revolutionary War on present-day America.

Building communitySpringfield Township has

an excellent strategy with itsnew arts council: to learnwhat thecommunitywants; tobuild partnerships and en-gage the community. (Artistsshowcase work” April 24,Hilltop Press.)

Planning succeeds when itcomes fromthegrassroots in-stead of the top down.Here inMount Healthy I wonder ifany survey of the communitywas done before determiningto use a $100,000 communitydevelopment block grant onPuttPutt golf. In factwehadaPutt Putt course that fell intodisuse and was finally torndown about a decade ago. Itwas popular in its day, dec-ades ago, but no more.

We do have a nice greenlawn at the park that couldwell be used for playing cro-quet, badminton, Frisbee,cornhole, if anyone wanted todoso.Thecitycouldevenrentor loan the equipment forsuch sports.

There are likely manygood ideas to be found by ask-ing the residents what theywant andneed. Is there a timepressure to use this grantmoney, even if it doesn’t trulyget us what will most benefitthecommunity?Cantheproc-ess be slowed down, townmeetings held, surveys sentout, before decisions aremade?

Some of the most valuablemembers in your health care

team are themany nursesthat might de-liver your chil-dren, care foryou after a sur-gery or evenmanage a hos-pital.

NationalNursesWeek isMay 6-12. Thepurpose of Na-tional Nurses

Week is to raise public aware-ness of the value of nursing andto help educate the public aboutthe vital roles nurses play inmeeting health care needs.

Nurses coordinate patient care,educate patients and provideemotional support to patientsand their families.

Nursing is a growing profes-sion that is expected to increasethe key role they play in healthcare as the population ages andpeople live longer, more activelives.The joboutlook fornursesthrives as well, with an expect-ed growth of 26 percent from2010-2020. In fact, the U.S. Bu-reau of Labor Statistics predic-ts a nursing shortage of morethan 250,000 jobs by 2025.Nurseswithbachelorof sciencein nursing (BSN) as well as ad-vanced degrees such as a mas-ter of science in nursing (MSN)or a doctor of nursing practice

(DNP), are in even greater de-mand, especially in medicallyunderserved, or rural, areas.Since the majority of nursingeducators are getting closer toretirement age, the need fornurses with advanced degreeswill become even greater.

Residents in the Tristate arefortunate to have many excel-lentoptions innursingschools ifthey are interested in enteringthe nursing profession or fur-thering their current nursingcareer. In addition to the tradi-tional BSN program, theMounthas a second master’s programfor people with a bachelor’s de-gree in another field, as well asblended learning formats andspecialized tracks in the MSN

andDNPprograms. In addition,theMount nowoffers a fully on-line RN to BSN degree, withclasses beginning in May andAugust.

We strive to provide the nec-essary resources in order tomeet the growing needs ofhealth care organizations andnurses wherever they are intheir careers.

and the Senate had alreadyadopted their own budgets. Theideabehind requiring ourpresi-dents to submit their budgets toCongress by Feb. 4 (10 weeksago!) is so Congress can consid-er thepresident’s recommenda-tionswhen theCongressconsid-ers its own budgets. Our presi-dents are supposed to showsome leadership. This onehasn’t.

But it’s not just the tardiness

of the president’s budget. It’swhat’s in it.

Rather than balance the bud-get in 10 years as the Ryan bud-get does (I voted for it), or bal-ance the budget in four years asthe more aggressive Republi-can Study Committee budgetdoes (I voted for this one too),the Obama budget never bal-ances, ever. And as a result,rather than reduce the nationaldebt, Obama’s budget actuallyraises the national debt from itscurrent $16.8 trillion level to abreathtaking $25 trillion (mayas well call us Greece).

In addition, Obama’s budgetraises taxes by over a trilliondollars over the next decade –and that’s on top of his recentfiscal cliff tax hike, and a tril-lionorso in taxhikesduetoOba-macare. (Holdontoyourwallets– it’s time to spread the wealtharound.) Unfortunately, raisingtaxes by a trillion dollars, andgrowing government, will donothing to improve our econo-

my or create jobs.What we really need, rather

thanhigher taxes, is taxreform.The president does proposeeliminating some current so-called tax loopholes, deductionsand exemptions, but instead ofreducing marginal income taxrates by an equal amount, andthus spur economic growth andjob creation, the presidentwants to spend these “savings”on new government programs,and more money to existinggovernment programs (be-cause they are oh so efficient).He trusts the government tospend our money more wiselyand more efficiently than hetrusts people to spend their ownmoney.

When President Obama firsttook office, nearly four and ahalf years ago, he promised tocut the deficit in half by the endof his first term.Well that didn’thappen. In fact,he’sdramatical-ly raised the deficit every yearof his presidency.

And rather than “focus like alaser beam on the economy,” ashe had promised to do, he spenthis time and political capital onpassing big government expan-sions like Obamacare, and theeconomy has floundered andunemployment has remainedfar too high.

In conclusion, in my opinion,President Obama’s budget is abust. Not only was it late, but itis not a serious document. It islikely that as usual, it will notonly not get a singleRepublicanvote in theHouse or the Senate,but it will likely not receive asingle Democrat vote in eitherhouse either.

It was a time for the presi-dent to show some leadership.He didn’t.

It was during a cook-ing class on Derby Dayfavorites that the ques-tion came up about whichmint is the best for ju-leps. I use spearmintsince it’s sweeter thanpeppermint. And I makea simple syrup out ofwater, sugar and mintleaves. The syrup is notonly good for mint juleps

but is sotasty inotherchilleddrinks.

I’veshared therecipe forjulepsalong withmy cloneof Ken-tucky Der-

by pie (even the name iscopyrighted!) before, butfor those of you whodon’t have the recipes,check out my blog forboth.

Guru in ourbackyard

Cheri Brinkman is anadventurous cook who isknown in the Midwest forher well-researched,local recipes. Brinkmanis a historical food writerwho loves Cincinnati aswell as the food and folklore surrounding it. Thelatest book in her Cincin-nati and Soup series is“Cincinnati and Soup:Festivals and Frolics”(Macguffin Productions,$22), which traces thehistory of both Cincinnatiand Northern Kentuckyfestivals.

There are authenticrecipes to go along withthe stories (and Brink-man is a spell-bindingstory teller). You’ll findrecipes for Oktoberfest,Italian Fest, Maifest andof course, Goetta Fest.This book would be theperfect gift with Moth-er’s Day coming up. Iasked Brinkman to sharea favorite.

“It is hard to pick justone recipe but I loveattending the annualBlues and BarbecueFestival in Lebanon, sohere’s an easy barbecuesauce recipe from it. Itwon’t have you ‘singingthe blues’,” she said.

2 sticks unsalted butter, plusmore for greasing

2 cups sugar4 large eggs2 teaspoons vanilla extract2⁄3cup good-qualityunsweetened cocoapowder

1 cup all-purpose flour1 teaspoon groundMexicancinnamon (cannel, see tip)

1⁄4teaspoon pequin chilipowder or cayennepepper

1⁄2teaspoon kosher salt1⁄2teaspoon baking powder

Preheat the oven to350 degrees. Line a 9-inch by 13-inch bakingdish with parchmentpaper, leaving an over-hang on two sides. Pressthe paper into the cor-ners of the pan and light-ly grease the paper withbutter.

Melt the two sticks ofbutter in a nonsticksaucepan over medium-low heat; do not boil.Remove from the heatand let cool slightly. Addthe sugar, eggs and vanil-la to the saucepan, andstir with a wooden spoonuntil combined.

Add the cocoa, flour,cinnamon, chili powder,salt and baking powderand mix until smooth.Spread the batter in theprepared pan and bakeuntil a toothpick insertedin the middle comes outfudgy, 20 to 25 minutes.Cool in the pan on a rack,then use the parchment

paper to lift out thebrownies before slicing.Makes 18.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Regular cinnamonworks well, too.

TheFriendsof thePub-licLibraryofCincinnati&Hamilton County couldnot survive if it were notfor its volunteers.

Last year at theFriends’ Warehouse inHartwell, 100 regular vol-unteers sorted, pricedand displayed books inthe warehouse that holdsmore than 80,000 booksand other items for in-house sales and sales atthe Main Library andbranches throughout theyear.

“We had about 500 ac-tive volunteers over thecourse of last year –manywere one-time volunteerswho helped at specificsales, like the annual Junesale at the Main Library,”said RobMonteserin, vol-unteer manager. “This in-cludes about 100 regularvolunteers who work atthe warehouse and 12 atthe Library Friends’Shop.”

Volunteers contribut-ed about 12,000 hours ofservice last year that in-cluded:

» 7,500 hours at theHartwell warehouse

» 1,500 hours at the Li-brary Friends’ Shop

» 2,000 hours at theJune book sale

» 1,000 hours for othersales/miscellaneous work

Volunteer Dave Ed-mundson of Glendale hasworked at the warehousefor 15 years. He beganvolunteering while stillteaching full-time forButler County Schoolswhen approached to vol-unteer by a retired librar-ian.Nowthathehimself isretired, he enjoys comingin once or twice a week tounpack, sort, and pricebooks at the warehouse.

Diana McBride of Col-lege Hill enjoys workingwith vintage and classicchildren’s books at thewarehouse. It is her job to

sort and price the books,including some that maybe valuable first editions.But oftentimes, she says,even though some of thebooks are classics ormore than 100 years old,that doesn’t necessarilymake them valuable butjustgoodvalues forsome-one who wants a vintagecopy of an old classic.

Some volunteers, likeAndrea O’Neill, have onlyworked at the warehousea fewmonths.Many, how-ever, like MaryhelenWest, Lois Cody, MaryHeckler, and Cheri AnnAllison, have more thanten years of service.

For more informationon volunteer opportuni-ties, contact the LibraryFriends’ Shop at 513-369-6020, email friend-sofplchvolun-teer@fuse.net, or visithttp://friends.cincinnati-library.org/.
