SUMMER SPECIAL – SAVE UP TO $6000! NOW AVAILABLE: One- and Two-Bedroom Apartment Homes Enjoy meals, housekeeping, transportation and much more!

Call 513.681.4230 and schedule a visit today. Possibilities are endless!

Three West Side townshipsrepresenting 40,600 homes arecloser to a decision to form a sol-id waste district that could sig-nificantly reduce costs for gar-bage and recycling services.

The district under consider-ation would include homes inColerain, Springfield and Rosstownships.

Residents now subscribe di-rectly with waste haulers topick up their garbage and recy-cling. Officials are hoping tomove to a contract model, inwhich a community contractswith a provider for waste andcurbside recycling on behalf ofresidents. The residents wouldpay the bills for those servicesdirectly to the provider.

Hamilton County SolidWaste District figures showhouseholds in communitieswith subscription-based recy-cling service in Hamilton Coun-ty pay an average monthly feeof $22.57 for waste and recy-cling service before fuel sur-charges. Communities that con-tract on behalf of their resi-dents for curbside waste and re-cycling service in HamiltonCounty pay on average $12.01per household per month.

Colerain Township residentspay the least of the communi-

ties considering a waste con-tract. The monthly cost for Col-erain Township residential gar-bage pickup is about $15.65, andrecycling is an additional $2.60per month. Springfield Town-ship residents pay garbagepickup costs of about $20.79 permonth, and recycling is an addi-tional $2.75 per month.

Rumpke has emerged as theapparent low bidder to servethe district at a monthly cost of$16.20 for unlimited trash andrecycling.

Hamilton County’s overallrecycling rate in 2014 was 14.47percent. Springfield Township’srecycling rate is about 9 per-cent, and Colerain’s recyclingrate is just over 5 percent.There is hope that if recycling isincluded, those rates will rise.And that could bring additionalfunding to both communities.

Communities with higher re-cycling rates receive more Res-idential Recycling Incentivefunds through the HamiltonCounty Recycling and SolidWaste District. The RRI pro-gram divides about $1 millionannually to Hamilton Countycommunities as an incentive toincrease recycling. As a com-munity increases their recy-cling rate and tons of materialscollected, the community re-ceives more incentive funds.That money can be used to buyitems made with recycled ma-terials, such as park benchesand picnic tables.

Today really was a simple countrypleasures kind of day.

Son Shane brought his three girlsover and I took the two oldest ones,Eva, 7 and Emerson, almost 3, for awalk down to the East Fork river. Thegirls caught crawdads, tiny fish andscooped up lots of shells and othertreasures from the shallow water.

I didn’t realize so much time hadpassed by until Shane came walkingdown with baby Ellery in his arms.“Time for Emerson’s nap”, he said.

So we went back to the house and eventhough Shane didn’t stay for lunch I did have

all the makings ready for this simplepizza.

I was also going to photograph thegirls making the pizza for this column.But since that didn’t happen, I’ll share aphoto of the reason why: two little girlsenjoying, as I said, “simple country plea-sures.”

Kids can make easysunflower pizza

Sunflower pizzaThe little ones will love making this. Good even with just cheese.

1 can flaky biscuits, 10 oz.Pizza sauceMozzarellaOptional toppings: pepperoni, chopped bell peppers, mushrooms,

onions, etc.

Preheat oven to 400. Separate dough into 10 biscuits. Place 1 biscuit incenter of cookie sheet lined with foil and sprayed. Arrange remaining bis-cuits in circle, edges slightly overlapping, around center biscuit. Gently presswith your had into a 10-inch circle. This makes your sunflower. Spread a thinlayer of sauce on top. Sprinkle with your choice of toppings. End with top-ping of mozzarella. Bake 12-15 minutes. To serve, pull apart.

Mediterranean chicken with orange marmaladesauce

Lately I’ve been using thighs for this recipe. I promised this recipe to ayoung man whose name I don’t remember. He stopped to chat with me atthe store. Funny that I can’t remember his name but do remember veryclearly what he wanted, so here it is: a really good tasting, fairly easy, maindish for chicken.

4-6 boneless skinless breast halves or thighsSalt, pepper, flourOlive oil3/4 to 1 cup white wine3 tablespoons lemon juice1 heaping teaspoon minced garlic or more1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes or more1/4 cup thawed undiluted orange juiceUp to 1-1/2 cups orange marmalade

Salt and pepper chicken, Dredge in flour. Saute in oil, browning wellon both sides. Keep warm. Pour wine in pan and cook, stirring to bringbrown bits up. Add lemon juice, garlic, red pepper, and half of the orangejuice. Bring to boil and cook about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 cup marmalade andrest of orange juice.

Taste and add more marmalade if desired. Serve on bed of rice orcouscous with sauce poured over chicken.

Five minute no-cook pizza sauceGo to taste on the flavorings. Use a food processor or whisk by hand.

Thanks to the reader, who shared this recipe. “I like it because there’s nocooking involved”, she said. Freezes well.

Blend together:

15 oz. can tomato sauce6 oz. can tomato paste1-2 teaspoons minced garlic2-3 teaspoons dried oregano - start with 21-1/2 to 2 teaspoons dried basilOnion powder to taste - start with 3/4 teaspoon3/4 teaspoon sugar - this helps tone down some of the acid of the

tomatoes

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

June 10 questionWhat should Cincinnati city lead-

ers and residents do to curtail therecent trends of gun-related crimesin the city?

“Well it’s like the NRA alwayssays, ‘An armed society is a politesociety,’ and right now I think thatphilosophy needs to be put inplace.

“Instead of doing the typicalmiddle of the road, liberal, ‘gunby back’ programs, I think coun-cil needs to look to do a gun dis-tribution program to all the citi-zens of Cincinnati. I know back-ground checks are anathema tothe NRA and GOP, so I’d say pushthose aside and figure a small seg-ment of the population may getguns that shouldn’t have them.

“However if we can arm therest of the citizens, they can thenbe there to help curtail and elim-inate these gun-related crimesand criminal elements that are onthe loose.

“Also with the All Star Gamecoming up, this strategy willmake out of town folks feel safer,

knowing that a large segment ofthe population is carrying andready to defend not only their ownGod given rights but also those ofour out of town guests.”

C.S.

“Cincinnati has now hired twopolice chiefs from outside thecity. The sad part is Cincinnatihad a qualified in-house candi-date better suited to the task (as-sistant chief Paul Humphries).Maybe it is time to hire someonewho knows the city. That would bemy 90-day plan. Go figure!”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat is your favorite summervacation story (something thatyou personally experienced)?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in the subjectline.

This June commem-orates the 800th anniver-sary of Magna Carta, the“Great Charter” whichwas designed to reducethe power of the State –over persons.

This defining instru-ment of liberty wouldbecome the cornerstone ofa British parliamentarygovernment and inspirethe revolutionary ideals ofa young nation an oceanaway.

On June 15, 1215, at Run-nymeade along the RiverThames near Windsor,King John of England (yes,that King John from RobinHood) agreed to grant cer-tain protections to a rebel-lious group of barons,thereby putting writtenrule of law above absolutedespotism. The contractwould institute checks onthe King’s powers and al-low for due process.

“We will sell to no man,we will not deny or defer toany man either justice orright.” Magna Carta –(1225). Although the MagnaCarta underwent manyincarnations in the years

and decadesthat fol-lowed, itssymbolismhad a pro-found influ-ence on theconstitu-tional andlegal devel-opment inGreat Brit-ain and

abroad.The charter’s signif-

icance is even more widelyfelt in the United States ofAmerica as it helped shapescholarly thought and pub-lic sentiment before, dur-ing and after the AmericanRevolution. The state sealof Massachusetts, en-graved by Paul Revere andadopted in 1775, contains apatriot holding a swordalong with a copy of MagnaCarta. The Latin mottochosen, “Ense petit placi-dam sub libertate quie-tem,” translates to mean,“By the sword we seekpeace, but peace only un-der liberty.”

This anniversary of thehuman spirit marks a mile-

stone on America’s road toliberty. Now it is up to us toprotect that freedom. AsPresident Ronald Reaganonce remarked, “Freedomis never more than onegeneration away fromextinction. We didn’t passit to our children in thebloodstream. It must befought for, protected, andhanded on for them to dothe same, or one day wewill spend our sunset yearstelling our children andour children’s childrenwhat it was once like in theUnited States where menwere free.”

I pray this light fromour past will help guide thesteps of our future. Wemust also remember thatfreedom’s twin is personalresponsibility.

Celebrating a triumphof the human spirit

Zachary T.HainesCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

I was once told, “Themore white hair you have,the wiser you are!”

Actually this was whenmy wife and I were takingyouth on a mission trip inAlaska. A local AlaskanNative American was tell-ing my work group aboutfishing with a net. Duringthe talk, he told my guys, Imust be a man of greatwisdom because of my gray-ing white hair.

I like that, as with manysocialites, elders are theones with notability andtreated like gods of knowl-edge. Similar to the wizardin the “Lord of the Rings,”seniors have life experiencepowers of wisdom.

Appreciating the wizardtheme, I found an old wizardcostume to wear for hand-ing out candy for Hallow-een. I attempted giving outwise advice to the kids com-ing to the door, but theywere in the; show me thecandy mode. Next year, asWizard, I need to get theirattention, and maybe Googlehow to transform myselfinto a frog.

This in a way symbolizesour society’s attitude to-wards our older senior citi-zens. We are a fast pace, onthe move people, so busywith being wrapped up inthe modern technologyworld. It is easy to forgetthe people that worked sohard to actually make ourlives easier. Nursing homesare over flowing with thegeneration of yesterdays.

My brother was in thePeace Corps in Sierra Le-one, Africa, years ago and Ihad the opportunity to visithim. One thing I wasamazed by was the way theytreated their elderly. Whena person reach those goldenyears, they were awardedthe honor to relax in ham-

mocks thatwere hung ina shaded, butopen thatchgazebo build-ing in thecenter of thevillage. Peo-ple wouldcome andlisten totheir old

stories of wisdom.The same respect stan-

dard applied for these sen-iors as when I was visitingthe village chiefs, the longeryou sat and shared, themore prestige and rever-ence you presented.

Attention all fellow sen-ior citizens out there; weneed to make changes in ourcommunity. The followingare my top seven consider-ations to improve our seniorstatus:

» Our senior citizen cen-ters need to hang hammocksfor us to ponder and shareworldly thoughts.

» Need a higher percent-age off cost of services andproducts, plus better spe-cials at fast food places. Forexample, my local DairyQueen should offer a seniorBlizzard special that in-cludes free refills. Wheredid they get the idea that weeat less food?

» Each senior should gettheir own Segway to ridearound with special Segwaylanes marked on roads near-by them. Some seniors can’tdrive and they would havefun hot rodding them andwell and maybe not all sen-iors should qualify andthinking about my wife’sGrandma on one, you wouldneed Segway senior police!

» Being wise seniors,when we vote on issues orpoliticians running for of-fice, our votes should carrymore weight and maybe

count as two! Then wewould get the attention oflawmakers and our localrepresentatives would betaking us out for dinner!More free food and remem-ber about our eating slogan,if not now, later and carryout containers.

» Speaking of meals andservices like Meals onWheels, seniors should getthe best gourmet foods justfor living all these years,plus paying more taxes overa lifetime than anyone, Ex-amples: caviar, dark choco-late, truffles, fudge; re-served, prized foods onlyseniors can eat and causingone to look forward to grow-ing old. Dark chocolatealone would cause me to lieabout my age.

» You probably havenoticed, a senior servicethat is always available isfree recreation time. Thisneeds revamping, as doingexercises to burn off calo-ries is not what I call fun ormotivation to workout. Nowput an open bar for seniorsnext to a treadmill and I willbe there! Five minutes onthe treadmill and it’s Millertime!

These ideas I think soundreasonable especially whenyou consider the following:Aging expert UCLA profes-sor Jared Diamond quotedin a recent speech, “Manysocieties treat their elderlybetter than Americans do.In some cultures, childrenare so devoted that whentheir aging parents losetheir teeth, the children willpre-chew their food.”

Will hold off on that oneand my teeth are still good.

Getting that wise white hair look

Wes AdamsonCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

To give you a time perspec-tive on the existence of America,my father was born in 1892, andmy grandfather was born in orabout 1842.

This means that this countryis only about three generationsold for some people and onlyfour generations for many oth-ers. Old men, young prettywives. (My family has childrenlate in life.)

This country, with its politicalsystem as a representative Re-public, is relatively new on thisearth. Although America hassurvived many threats fromforeign enemies, America hasnot yet proven to withstand evilforces inside America that areintent on the fundamental trans-formation of American values,traditions, and godlike con-science .America can be de-stroyed from deceit over night.

America is an exceptionalnation that must help lead theworld. The “melting pot” ofAmerica is being destroyed with“multi-culturalism” promoted todivide the country into pocketsof differences, hate and conflict.Senior presidential advisor Val-erie Jarrett has Iranian andAmerican citizenship. CIA Di-rector John Brennan is a Mus-lim. Barack Hussein Obamaattended a Muslim Madrasschool in Indonesia during hisyouth. The political systems ofIslam and freedom are contra-dictory concepts .

Why did Hillary Clinton defythe Records Act by destroyingall her emails when requested byCongress to provide copies ofher email communications re-garding Benghazi ?

How involved was Hillary inthis tragedy that tortured andmurdered Ambassador Christo-

pher Stevens,and the murdersof Sean Smith,Tyrone Woodsand Glen Doher-ty, and loss ofEmbassy rec-ords on Sept. 11,2012, in Bengha-zi, Libya, theConsulate andEmbassy. Theproof is in her

email communications. I believe that all the deceit

and cover-ups from Barack andHillary is to prove to Iran thefollowing:

1. The president is able toneutralize the U.S. military fromresponse to a terrorist attack inthe Middle East.

2. He would allow the one-by-one internal destruction of allMiddle East governments tofacilitate the vision of the “Phoe-nix arising from the ashes” forthe entrance of the new Islamicworld to be led by Iran.

3. The president could contin-uously extend the phony negotia-tions with Iran to fool the Amer-ican and people and allies tobelieve there is a real effort tostop Iran from developing anuclear bomb arsenal.

4. The president would con-tinue to release valued terroristsfrom Gitmo to help Jihad.

Systematic lying as a reli-gious policy is deadly. Muslimsare permitted to lie for specificreasons. The definition of theterm al-Taqiyya: deception, theIslamic word for concealing ordisguising one’s beliefs, convic-tions, ideas , feelings, opinionsand/or strategies.

KeShawn Foley hadone reception in his four-year football career atBatavia High School.Just one, back freshmanyear.

Well, make that careertotal eight after June 11 –unofficially at least.

The former Bataviastar caught seven passesfor 149 yards and threetouchdowns to help leadthe East All-Stars to a 40-20 win against the Westin the 40th annual South-western Ohio FootballCoaches Association RonWoyan East-West All-Star football game,Thursday, at Kings HighSchool.

“I’m just having fun,”Foley said. “It’s an all-star game.”

Foley racked up morethan 100 touchdownspassing and rushing in astellar, three-time all-conference career at Ba-tavia … as a quarterback.No receiving touch-downs. Thursday night,though, he lined up wideas a receiver more oftenthan not and looked like aseasoned vet.

“It was pretty easy,”said the 6-foot-3, 225-pound Foley, who addedthat he plans to play

quarterback this fall atHocking College. “I loveplaying wide receiver.It’s like backyard foot-ball.”

Milford quarterbackDrew Ashcraft helpedmake it easy. Foley wason the receiving end of a36-yard pass from Ash-craft on the East’s firstpossession, setting up a

Ryan Wahler (Sycamore)touchdown reception.

Ashcraft found Foleyagain on the next posses-sion deep down the leftside for a 27-yard touch-down pass.

Withrow QB Tra’VonBarnes threw a 35-yardTD strike to Foley in thesecond quarter to put theEast up 19-6.

The East passing at-tack was on target allnight with receivers Fo-ley, Wahler, DoryanBeach (Withrow) andReid Finley (WalnutHills) consistently mak-ing great adjustmentswhile the ball was in theair. Wahler totaled 102yards on four catches.

Ashcraft, separated

by 223 days from his Mil-ford squad’s 2014 season-ending win against Love-land, looked in midsea-son form, completing 8of 14 passes for 183 yardsand the two touchdownsin the first quarter.

“It’s a good feeling,”Ashcraft said. “You missit a lot. You don’t reallyknow how much you

miss it until after youstrap on your pads thatlast time.”

He finished with 366passing yards and fivetouchdowns, both newall-star game records.

“It means a lot, actual-ly,” Ashcraft said. “Be-cause I’ve been workingmy (butt) off trying toget to this game.”

Diving interceptionsby Asa Palmer (Wyo-ming) and Kiowa Whaley(North College Hill)helped the West defenseslow the East passinggame in the third quar-ter.

Mount Healthy run-ning back Hjavier Pittscashed in the Palmerpick with a 1-yard touch-down run to cut the def-icit to 19-12, but the Weststars could never get thelead.

Edgewood quarter-back Trace Reynoldsthrew touchdown passesto Pitts and Fred Riley(Fairfield) to lead theWest offense.

The East stars out-gained West 458 to 206 intotal yardage. T.J. Beach(Amelia) led the East de-fense with five tackles,two for loss.

The win marked theEast’s eighth in the lastnine years. The Eastleads the series 22-18.

ITNGreaterCincinnatinot only offers afford-able transportation toseniors and adults withvision impairments, itcan also cut transporta-tion costs in half for sen-iors.

According to AAA’sannual “Your DrivingCosts” study, the 2014average cost of automo-bile ownership is $8,876per year, based on anaverage 15,000 milesdriven annually. Theaverage adult betweenthe ages of 55 and 64years old drives approxi-mately 12,000 miles peryear, and those 65 yearsold and over drive lessthan 8,000 miles per year.

We tend to hold on toour automobiles thinkingthat it is less expensivethan other transportationoptions available in ourcommunity. That simplyis not the case. ITNGrea-terCincinnati membersare reducing their over-all transportation budgetthrough our innovative“pay as you go” trans-portation solution yearafter year. Who wouldn’tbenefit from saving mon-ey?

ITNGC can help olderadults slash their trans-portation budget by morethan half. ITNGC’s mostfrequent riders average275 trips per year andare paying less than halfof the average cost ofowning a private automo-bile. Looking at thesecosts another way, theaverage cost of a ridewith ITNGC is $13. Atthat rate $8,876 would getyou over 680 rides or 340round trips per year.

That is almost one roundtrip ride every day of theyear.

The mission of ITNGCis to provide seniors (60and older) and visuallyimpaired adults with a24/7 transportation re-source that is “arm-through-arm, door-through-door, go whereyou want to go when youwant to go.” ITNGCbreaks down the isolationthat comes when seniorssurrender their keys, andgives visually impairedadults freedom to gobeyond bus routes at acost they can afford withno ride restrictions.

Volunteer driversprovide the rides forITNGC making this ser-vice community support-ed and sustainable. Allvolunteers are trainedand background checked.This is one of the mostgratifying volunteerpositions you can havebecause volunteers workdirectly with clients.

ITNGC has been oper-ating in the Greater Cin-cinnati area since May2010 and was brought tothe area by the VisionCoalition of Greater Cin-cinnati and the Deacon-ess Associations Founda-tion, both of which real-ized there was a signifi-cant local need fortransportation for olderadults and visually im-paired adults on bothsides of the river. Theycoordinated their re-sources and efforts andtogether formed ITN-GreaterCincinnati, alocal affiliate of the na-tional ITN organization.Now ITNGC serves resi-dents within the I-275loop in Kentucky andOhio.

Throughout the monthof June, the Cincinnatichapter of Guitars forVets, together with SamAsh Music Stores, willcollect donations as partof its mission to providefree guitars and lessonsto Veterans strugglingwith Post TraumaticStress Disorder.

“It’s restorative; it’shealing,” said RichardHutchinson, coordinator

for the Cincinnati chap-ter of Guitars for Vets.“There’s a sense of har-mony that comes fromplaying guitar. But it’smore than just spendingtime learning an instru-ment; it’s taking time toshare life experiences.”

Today, there may be asmany as 400,000 servicemembers living with “theinvisible wounds of war,”such as PTSD. But many

are finding hope in anunlikely place: behindthe wood and strings ofan acoustic guitar. Week-ly guitar lessons provid-ed by volunteers at theCincinnati VA MedicalCenter are designed tohelp students learn attheir own pace. Aftercompleting 10 weeks oflessons, graduates arepresented with their veryown acoustic guitar.From there, weeklygroup sessions provideVeterans a communalatmosphere to talk andcontinue to play musicwith peers who haveshared similar experi-ences.

Between June 1 and30, the public is encour-aged to donate to Guitars

for Vets online or at SamAsh Music Stores, 11805Commons Drive inSpringdale,. For $1,names can be added to adonation wall of symbolicguitar picks at Sam Ash.The store will also collectused guitars and musicalequipment. For largermonetary donations, thepublic is encouraged togift securely online atwww.guitarsforvets.org.

“We can always usemore donors and volun-teers to reach more Vet-erans,” Hutchinson said.

Seitz introducesmeasure to crackdown on distracteddriving

State Sen. Bill Seitzjoined with his colleagueState Sen. Jim Hughes(R-Columbus) to intro-duce legislation aimed atimproving the safety ofOhio’s roadways by in-creasing penalties fordriving while distracted.

Senate Bill 146 wouldcreate an enhanced pen-alty for “distracted driv-ing” that can only comeinto play when a driveris pulled over for anoth-er moving violation,which is currently aminor misdemeanoroffense under Ohio law.In other words, a lawenforcement officerwould only be able toissue a citation for “dis-

tracted driving” if theywitness the offense atthe same time as anothermoving violation, suchas running a stop sign orred light.

“In this day and age,distracted driving is aproblem that we cannotwait any longer to ad-dress,” Seitz said. “Toomany innocent lives arelost from drivers notpaying enough attentionto the road. This legisla-tion is an important steptoward making ourroads safer for every-one.”

The legislation wouldrequire that the personcited for distracted driv-ing pay a fine of onehundred dollars for eachoffense.

Automobile accidentsin Ohio are the No. 1killer for those ages 8 to

24. Statistics show thatsomeone is killed in anauto accident every 7.8hours in Ohio and every16 minutes nationwide.11 percent of all driversunder the age of 20 in-volved in fatal crasheswere reported as dis-tracted at the time of thecrash.

NAMI honors SeitzState Sen. Bill Seitz

(R-Cincinnati) receivedthe National Alliance onMental Illness of Ohio’s2015 Legislator of theYear Award. The awardwas presented at NAMIOhio’s statewide confer-ence at the Hyatt Re-gency in Columbus.

“I am pleased to pre-sent the 2015 NAMI OhioLegislator of the YearAward to State SenatorBill Seitz. This award isour way of publicly ex-pressing our apprecia-tion to the Senator forhis willingness to takethe lead on legislation inthe Ohio General Assem-bly to exclude individ-uals who have seriousmental illness at thetime of their offensefrom the death penalty,”said Terry Russell, exec-utive director of NAMIOhio.

In 2011, Seitz wasappointed to the OhioSupreme Court’s JointTask Force to Reviewthe Administration ofOhio’s Death Penalty.One of the recommenda-tions included in theTask Force’s report is toexclude individuals whoare seriously mentally illat the time of theircrime from the deathpenalty.
