Forest Park skips Concert on the Green this year

The hills won’t be alive withthe sound of the CincinnatiPOPS this summer in ForestPark.

After a 25-year run, ForestPark City Manager Ray Hodgessays the city is not sponsoringthe traditional summer concertthis year.

“The Ameritas campus is inthe process of some demolitionfollowing the dedication of thenew facilities there, and it’s not agood time to host an event at thatsite,” he said. “That gives us theopportunity to re-evaluate the

event and talk about how wewant to go forward.”

He says the city has not madea decision whether or not to con-tinue the concert in the future,but there will not be a CincinnatiPops concert in Forest Park thissummer.

“It’s had a long run,” he said.“We need to talk about it and de-cide whether it has served itspurpose or is it something wewant to continue?”

The free, family friendlyevent at the Ameritas propertyat the corner of Waycross andMill roads was popular with res-idents and drew large numbersof visitors to the city. It has hadbeen plagued by weather prob-lems in the past several years. FILE ART

The concert was can-celed because of weath-er in 2012, when a stormdamaged the stage.

Forest Park Econom-ic Development Direc-tor Paul Brehm estimat-ed that attendanceranged from 2,000 to5,000 for the concert.

Brehm said last yearthat people who live inForest Park connectedthe concert with thecity’s identity as a com-munity. He added thatthe concert was a show-case for the community,was a tool for economicdevelopment, as he in-vited business ownerswho are thinking aboutlocating in Forest Parkto the concert to pro-mote the community.

Police have charged aman with vehicular homi-cide and vehicular man-slaughter in connectionwith a funeral processioncrash that resulted in thedeath of retired ForestPark Police OfficerGeorge Brooks.

Anton Palmer, 31, wasarrested at Cincinnati Po-lice Department head-quarters May 14.

The arrest came twodays after the state filedthree complaints againstPalmer in Hamilton Coun-ty Municipal Court.

Arrest records sayPalmer failed to yield at astop sign on West LibertyStreet, broke into the ac-tive funeral processionand was struck by the mo-torcycle driven byBrooks, who was leadingthe procession.

Brooks, 63, who servedin the Forest Park PoliceDepartment 25 years,succumbed to his injuriesMarch 29, a day after thecollision.

Palmer has a lengthycriminal record in Hamil-ton County. Since 2005,Palmer has been convict-

ed of nine separate drug-related charges, accord-ing to court records.

Palmer was also convict-ed of illegal weaponscharges in 2013 and re-

ceiving stolen property in2010.

Officials did not be-lieve speed or impairmentwere factors in the March28 crash.

The law states thatdrivers should yield to fu-neral processions, andcharges could range froma misdemeanor to a felo-ny, the police departmentsaid. Ohio Revised Code4511.451 states that driv-ers “shall yield the rightof way to each vehicle thatis a part of a funeral pro-cession.”

Once the lead vehiclein a funeral processionlawfully enters the inter-section, the remainder ofthe vehicles may con-tinue, even disregardingtraffic control devices orright of way provisions.Each car should continuewith due care and avoidcolliding with any othervehicle or pedestrian, thelaw states.

Palmer is currently be-ing held in the HamiltonCounty Justice Center un-der a $75,000 bond. He isdue back in court June 1.

MAY 27, 2015 • HILLTOP PRESS • 5ANEWS

When I was a young mother, my mom, Mary Nader,would try to teach me how to cook our traditionalLebanese food. I say “try” because it didn’t come easyto me. Mom never measured - she said her handswere the best utensils. Ring a bell with any of you? I

bet it does, especially when you makethose heirloom recipes handed downfor generations. And I’m still learning.

My dear friends, Joe and MarylouZarick, Mason readers, have had me intheir kitchen making Lebanese breadand sfeehah, bread stuffed with meatand seasonings.

I can now say my Lebanese food isdelicious, and yes, I use my hands formeasuring and mixing. My familyloves the food, and laughs when I sayMom’s was still better.

One dish we make is our yogurt dip, with Laban/homemade yogurt, along with cucumber, mint andgarlic. Now making this dip with homemade yogurtresults in a pretty loose mixture, even when I strainthe yogurt overnight. I wanted to serve a thicker

version of this in a Lebanese class I taught and KayHitzler came to the rescue.

Kay, a West Side reader, and I have been cookingbuddies for years. We first met at Jungle Jims andimmediately connected when she was my sous chef.Kay is a skilled, compassionate nurse by day and apassionate, talented foodie by night. I can’t tell youhow many good recipes she, along with her mom,Jean Shirley, have given me. Kay’s Tzatziki sauce isthe best. She has been sharing it with friends andfamily for years. It goes with so many summer dish-es, from salmon to chicken to crudités.

Lebanese Festival at St. Anthony of PaduaSunday, June 14 from noon to 8 p.m.961-0120 StAnthonyofPaduaChurch.comEnjoy both the yogurt dip and hummus without

lifting a finger. Stop by the Lebanese Mahrajan festi-val and enjoy the abundance of authentic homemadeLebanese food. I’m getting hungry now just thinkingabout kibbee, shish kebabs, salads, breads, greenbeans with tomatoes, and, of course, all those sinfulpastries…

Middle Eastern fare gets dippyKay Hitzler’s Tzatziki/yogurt cucumber dip

You can buy Greek yogurt already strained. Greekyogurt is thicker than regular and contains more protein.The garlic and olive oil are good for your heart, the vitaminC in the lemon helps your immune system and helps detox-ify your liver, and the mint is high in fiber and good fordigestion.

1 English or regular large cucumber, peeled if desired,seeded, shredded

Salt1-1/2 cups whole milk Greek yogurt, strained1 clove garlic, minced or more to taste2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil1 tablespoon lemon juice1/4 cup chopped fresh mintSalt to taste

Place cucumber in strainer over a bowl and sprinklewith a little salt and let stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile,place yogurt in a strainer and let drain for 15 minutes, thendiscard liquid. Squeeze the cucumber in a towel to removeas much liquid as possible. Mix everything together.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen: Remove seeds from cucumberCut in half longways and take a small spoon and run

it down the center, scooping up seeds as you go.

Rita’s hummusI may as well go full tilt here and share another Mid-

dle Eastern favorite. It’s one of my most requested whichI’ve shared with you before. For Jennifer, an Eastside read-er. “Store bought hummus is way too expensive”, she said.Better than anything you can buy and a lot less costly. LittleEmerson, my granddaughter, loves hummus.If too thick,add a little water.

1 can, 15 oz, chick peas, drained, rinsed and drained1 teaspoon minced garlicLemon juice, olive oil and Tahini (ground sesame seed

“paste”) to taste - start with 3 tablespoons and gofrom there

Salt to tasteCumin to taste – start with a teaspoonWhole milk Greek yogurt to taste - start with 1/4 cup

Mash chickpeas by hand or in food processor until ofdesired smoothness. Add everything else and mix.

Older adults are a vital partof our society.

Since 1963, communitiesacross the country have showntheir gratitude by celebratingOlder Americans Month eachMay. The theme of this year’scelebration is “Get into theAct,” to focus on how olderadults are taking charge oftheir health, getting engaged intheir communities, and makinga positive impact in the lives ofothers.

Older Americans Monthoffers an opportunity to em-phasize how older adults can

access thehome andcommunity-based servicesthey need tolive indepen-dently in theircommunities.It is also anoccasion tohighlight howtheir lovedones can help

them to remain safe and com-fortable in their homes.

All year long, Whole HomeModifications, a service of

People Working Cooperatively,provides the experience andexpertise to handle modifica-tions projects that will helpolder Americans continueliving safely in their homes.This May, we’re encouragingolder Americans as well astheir caregivers, family andfriends to think about theycan do to keep seniors safe intheir homes.

A few common problemareas are stairways, floorsand rugs, and the bathroom.As you assess your home orthe home of an older family

member, consider checkingthat all handrails are not bro-ken and are securely fash-ioned. It’s also important thatboth sides of the stairwayhave handrails.

If floors are hardwood, tileor laminate, removing throwrugs from high-traffic areasand investing in non-slip hardsole shoes can be critical. Inthe bathroom, replacing towelracks and toilet paper holderswith grabcessories adds sta-bility and security, but won’tmake the bathroom feel like amedical facility.

When it comes to keepingseniors safe in their homesand chosen communities, aproactive approach is impor-tant. We encourage olderAmericans and their familiesto evaluate their individualneeds, and incorporate someor all of these tips in order tokeep their homes safe andsecure for many years tocome.

Terry Olandese is the cur-rent President of the Amer-ican Council of the Blind ofOhio, Greater CincinnatiChapter. The American Coun-cil of the Blind is a national,state and local membershiporganization consisting ofpeople who are blind andvisually impaired who volun-teer their time, energy andskill to improving the qualityand equality of life for them-selves and others.

Terry originates fromOklahoma and has lived inCincinnati since 1999. He wasone of those premature ba-bies born in the 1950s whoselife was saved by means of anincubator and extra oxygen.Thousands of those babiesincluding the actor Tom Sulli-van had their vision de-stroyed until doctors learnedhow to regulate the oxygen.Terry considers his blindnessa hassle only when others donot see him for the person heis: a licensed massage thera-pist, a father of two adultchildren and a grandfather offive.

He is also a super volun-teer who readily displaysleadership, confidence anddeep commitment to his vol-unteer work with ACB’s local

chapter.What does

ACBOGCCneed most forthe future?Well, around100 of youPress readerscould sitdown andwrite checksin five fig-ures, and we

would be totally unimpressed.We are volunteers, and,

while we need money for ourvarious programs and ser-vices, we need practical ser-vice from dedicated peoplemore than anything else. Inshort, we need people like ourfriend Sue Wesley, who is asaint in her generosity towardus. She loves to drive, and shedrives us to state board meet-ings in Columbus. She alsodoes small tasks such aswalking around with a micro-phone at our monthly meet-ings downtown at the YWCAat 898 Walnut St., so eachmember in attendance canhave his or her say on issuesunder discussion.

Your checks to our non-profit ACB organization arenot discouraged, but helpingus survive and thrive in a

world that was not exactlybuilt, developed, and createdwith blind people in mind canbe the difference betweenheaven and somewhere elsethat we will leave it to yourimagination to know.

Terry also loves music, haswritten 24 songs, and hasreceived an award in hisyounger days for playing thesaxophone. Sue Wesley actu-ally has lots of fun with usengaging in our many activ-ities such as singing Christ-mas songs with us at our an-nual Christmas dinners at theFarm; and she and her daugh-ter and granddaughter assistwith serving meals as well.She has also participated insome of our group walks, butshe has yet to join us on ourtandem bike rides.

May 20 questionWhat is the best senior class

prank you can remember?

“I must really be old. Iwent to a very conservativepublic school. Can’t recallany ‘pranks’ that did not re-sult in the expulsion of some‘hood.’ My much youngerbrother considered ‘spiking’the senior class play punch.Fortunately, his wiser friendskept him from that stunt.”

D.B.

“Can’t say where and won’tsay when, but by now thestatue of limitations hashopefully expired. In mytown one of my classmate’sfather was a private realtorand at his office location hehad a giant (20-foot-by-40-foot) hippopotamus. One ofmy other classmate’s fatherowned a construction compa-ny and he had access to verylarge flat bed trailers andrigging equipment. So natu-rally we felt compelled torelocate the giant hippo to theroof of the school. Sure wishit would have been lightenough to get some photos.”

M.J.F.

“In the ‘good old days’senior class pranks were anannual right of spring. Usingcunning combined with ge-nius was a prerequisite. Thesupposed day off school forthose with a ‘B’ or above av-erage was a standard, not tomention free cafeterialunches or passes to the localmovie drive-in. The idea wasto fool underclassmen. Buttoday with the social mediathose days are gone not tomention the consequences ofdoing something foolish. GoFigure!”

No I need aunique name,so I checkedonline to seewhat othercountries calltheir Grand-

pa. I could only put a few ofmany possibilities: Italianword is Nonno, Irish word isSeanathair, Russian was De-dushka, Spanishj was Abueloand the Japanese word forGrandpa is Ojiisan.

The German name was“Opa” and is probably theonly one I can pronounce, soskip that idea. I then went tothe more modern hip namelist and found these: Chief,Captain, G-Daddy, G-Pa,Duke, and Buddy.

“Go-Daddy”…now I didlike their “interesting” com-mercials on TV, but couldn’tbe called that; then there isDuke, but I’m not a Duke bas-ketball fan, so count that oneout. Hey, what about “Cap-tain,” now that’s a respect-

The coming of a grandbaby adds a new milestone tothe journey of life; like you’rereally getting old!

My time came just recentlywith the birth of our firstgrandson, Leo Joseph. It wasan amazing experience view-ing the new generation of life;a new budding branch of thefamily tree has bloomed. Nowhanding the torch to our son-in-law and daughter’s beauti-ful baby boy. Cuddling thisguy in my arms gives me thefeeling of grandeur like beinga king and presenting theroyal son to my nation.

I decided that now that I’mexperiencing this “grandchildtime of life,” I needed to startlooking at all the names outthere for Grandpa. Beingcalled Grandpa is OK, but thegrand part of the word givesme a feeling of being so old. Ieven looked up the definition.One dictionary said, “thefounder or originator of afamily, species, type, etc.”Another said Grandpa was the“first of one’s or its kind, orthe one being longest in exis-tence” This makes it soundlike I should be put in some

able, name of honor…Captain-…but maybe need somethingmore personal. A friend toldme his grandson calls him“Bubba”…ha, that made mesmile, but no I need to workon this more. But the truth ofthe matter, my grandson willcall me whatever he decides.

One more realization ofbeing a grandparent camewhen I was driving down aneighborhood street and sawa garage sale sign. Now I can’tor it’s hard for me to not stopand see what unique itemsthey might have. This garagesale like some was mainly justbaby/toddler items. My imme-diate reaction is to turnaround and move on. I didstart to go back to the car,when all of the sudden therealization sunk in; I have agrandson! Long story short, Iwalked away later, less $65and an arm full of assortedbaby items/toys.

ST. BERNARD — A recordrarely tells the whole story. Inthe case of Roger Bacon HighSchool, the record of its boys’volleyball team barelyscratches the surface of whothe Spartans truly are.

The record says 14-11. Lookcloser, and you’ll begin to un-derstand why Roger Bacon isranked No. 8 in the Ohio HighSchool Boys Volleyball Associ-ation’s Division II state poll.

Seven of its 11 losses cameagainst teams (Alter, Elder, St.Xavier, Moeller, Walsh Jesuit,Hilliard Darby) also ranked ineither the Division I or II statepoll.

“We have played an excep-tionally difficult schedule,”said ninth-year coach AdamGoller. “I think it’s definitelymade us tougher mentally. Ithink that will be a good thingcome postseason.”

A brutal schedule wasn’t allRoger Bacon had to deal withduring the regular season.

“The regular season wasdifficult due to a number of in-juries, but given all the adver-sity I think the boys did as wellas they possibly could,” saidGoller, who added the Spartanshave healed up in time for thepostseason.

They dealt with difficultythrough their six seniors whoare well-versed in tough com-petition.

As freshman and sopho-mores, the senior class sawwhat it took to make a run atstate as the Spartans were run-ner-up in 2012 and a semifinal-ist in 2011.

“All six of the seniors havebeen a great example to the un-derclassmen,” Goller said.

“They’ve embraced theirroles and done their jobs well.We place a high level of expec-

tations on every one of ourguys, and they’ve all answeredand had a very good season.”

The six seniors are: AlexBrenner, Ben Holt, BobbyWilking, Robbie Heywood,Jack Hausfeld and TonyWeickert.

Brenner missed most of theseason with an injury, but sincehis return the Spartans are 7-3.Brenner’s 146 assists (in 10matches) rank eighth in theGreater Catholic League Coed.Heywood’s 624 passes are thefifth-most in the conference,and second on the team behindHunter Jones, a junior.

Heywood also led the teamin kills (166), just ahead ofHausfeld (152).

Holt and Weickert tied forthird in the GCL Coed with 54

blocks each. Wilking’s 241 assists were

sixth in the conference and healso had 411 passes.

Roger Bacon, who appearsto be rounding into form at theright time, finished second inthe GCL Coed behind Alter.

“It’s the postseason so we’rejust shoring up our strengthsand making sure we continueto take care of the littlethings,” Goller said.

The Spartans began thepostseason with a definitive25-5, 25-3, 25-6 win over Pur-cell Marian in a Division II re-gional semifinal.

HAMILTON — The fourthmeeting of the baseball seasonbetween Greater CatholicLeague South rivals La Salleand Elder was a familiar feel-ing, mostly a product of thepitcher’s duel and becauseboth teams play a similarbrand of baseball. On Thurs-day night at Hamilton, La Salleblanked Elder 1-0 and won aDivision I sectional champion-ship.

La Salle senior startingpitcher Nick Ernst, who’ssigned with Miami University,stood tall with complete-gameshutout performance. It wasthe third time this seasonErnst faced Shane Smith, El-der’s ace who’s also signedwith Miami, and the Pantherswon the first two.

“I did it (threw well) tothem all three games,” Ernstsaid after. “It was paybacktime … I thought third time’s acharm.”

Senior Anthony Bell drovein what proved to be the game-winning run in the third in-ning, scoring senior AlecLane.

“(Anthony) Bell just comesup with big hits,” La Salle

coach Joe Voegele said. “Heleads the GCL in RBI. He’s atough out.”

Ernst allowed three hits,and stopped the Panthers fromreaching third base. Smith,who also hurled a complete-game, allowed just four hits,but three happened to be in thesame inning.

“I think Ernst has beenthrowing better progressive-ly. He’s put together threegreat games (in a row): Moell-er, Westerville Central andnow this one,” explained Voe-gele. “Our defense helped us

again. This is the best defen-sive team (in my career) at LaSalle.”

Ernst and Smith have quitethe head-to-head history to-gether, and come next springthey’ll be wearing the samecolors. “Yea, we’re pretty goodfriends, we get a little trash-talking on the field,” Ernstsaid, referring to Smith. “I likehim a lot, he’s a good dude.”

La Salle, winner of sevenstraight, faced Hamilton onMay 23 (after deadline) in adistrict final. Visit Cincinnati-.com for the result.
