Mariemont could moveto curbside recycling
Mariemont residents maysoon have to drag their recy-cling bins to the curb.
Village officials are consid-ering a change to the recyclingprogram, which would elimi-nate the open red bins and re-place those with larger cartswith lids and wheels.
The Health and RecreationCommittee met Jan. 20 to dis-cuss the proposed changes andresponses to a survey about therecycling program.
Of the186 survey responses,most indicated they preferredusing a 65-gallon recycling cartand bringing it to the curb tokeep the waste collection feethe same, said Councilwomanand Committee ChairwomanMary Ann Schwartz.
With this option, Mariemontwould save about $17,000 peryear on its trash and recyclingcontract with Rumpke. The vil-lage currently pays about$284,000 for trash and recy-cling service, but residents alsopay for waste collection.
It costs $75 per year for de-tached homes or townhouses,and $45 per year for units, suchas apartments, with a commoncollection point. Residents alsohave to attach a $2 sticker totrash cans for those to be col-lected.
With the new program, resi-dents would have an option of a36- or 65-gallon recycling cart,and Dean Ferrier, who repre-sented Rumpke at the meeting,said they’d aim for delivery ofthe new carts this spring.
“Thekeywasgetting it to thecurb…andwecanoffer thisbe-cause the labor cost is less,” hesaid.
A Mariemont resident’strashcanswouldstill becollect-ed at the back of a residence,and there are no proposed
changes to that program.One of the main reasons the
village is proposing curbsiderecyclingwith lidded carts is toget rid of the open containersresidents currently use.
“We’ve gotten a lot of callsabout rodents, and they’re notsanitary,” Mayor Dan Policas-tro said. “We want to get rid ofthe bins.”
Schwartz, who lives in andrepresents the historic district
near Maple, Oak and Chestnutstreets, said rats have been aproblem in that area. “Part of itis the open containers, and Ithink it’s key tohave the lids (onthe recycling carts),” she said.
She’s concerned, however,that the larger carts wouldblock the narrow lanes behindmany of the townhouses andapartments in the historic dis-trict. “I don’t think taking it outfront would be an option forfour-family units,” she said.
Councilwoman and Commit-tee member Maggie Palazzolosaid some of the townhousesdon’t have garages so the cartswould sit out anyway. Also, shesaid, the connected buildingswould mean residents in themiddle townhouses would haveto walk a block or two just tobring the carts to the curb.
Ferrier said they might beable to get the smaller recy-cling truck through the lanes,but he’d have to check with theroute supervisor, and theycould find a solution for the his-toric district.

Mariemont will likely change itsrecycling program and get rid ofthese small bins. Rumpke hasagreed to provide larger cartswith wheels and lids if they arebrought to the curb. LISAWAKELAND/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

WINTERWONDERLAND
The Mariemont Community Church Memorial Chapel, on Cherry Lane in the village’s historic district, stands out in the snow. Completed in1926, the chapel was built in the Norman architectural style of an English parish church. Its stone roof is believed to be the oldest roof inNorth America, and it was originally on a tithe barn built around 1300 in Calcot, England. LISA WAKELAND/THE COMMUNITY PRESS
OAKLEY —Oakley may onceagain have a “Ball on theSquare” celebration.
Piper Fennimore Rogers,who along with her husband,
Mark Rogers,organized previ-ous New Year’sEve Ball on theSquare eventssaid another oneis a possibility.
“It was a fan-tastic party,(but) it’s a veryexpensive party
to put on,” she said.Cost was a primary reason
the event was not conductedthis New Year’s Eve.
Rogers, who is a member ofthe Oakley Community Coun-cil, said she had received a sig-nificant amount of feedbackfrom people wondering whythe event didn’t occur.
Members of the OakleyCommunity Council said theyhad received inquiries as well.
There was a lot of disap-pointment that it didn’t hap-pen,” said board member Ja-sonWilcoxon, who coordinatesthe community’s Oakley AfterHours event.
Rogers said previous Ballon the Square celebrationscost between $36,000 to$37,000. However, she said theevent only brings in about$18,000.
However, she said becauseof the community’s reaction itis onceagainbeingconsidered.
“We are planning on havingan exploratory meeting to de-termine if it’s feasibly possi-ble,” she said.
She said the 2014/2015 Ballon the Square event, whichwould be the fourth, would becoordinated with the OakleyChamber of Commerce.
“We are going to do every-thing we can to make it hap-pen,” she said. “It will all de-pend on the financial supportwe get.”
She said the exploratorymeeting could happen in Feb-ruary.
Rogers said she is also look-ing for feedback from the com-munity. Emails can be sent [email protected].

Whatwill theworld belike when today’s kinder-gartners graduate highschool?
That’s the question theMariemont City SchoolDistrictwill trytoanswerduring the next 18months.
Superintendent Ste-ven Estepp, during theJan. 15 State of theSchools address, an-
nounced a new district-wide initiative calledDestination 2026.
“Learning has gonefrom linear and sequen-tial to very in-the-mo-ment,” he said.
The program will ex-amine ideas, strategiesand the possibilities forwhat education mightlook like 2026, the gradu-ating year of the kinder-garten class.
“It’s a journey to chartour course and guide our
school district into theyear 2026 and beyond,”Estepp said.
“The end resultwill bethecreationofan instruc-tional vision for the Ma-riemont City School Dis-trict. No one can predictthe future, but with thisblueprint, we will haveroadmap to guide us.”
The entire the State ofthe Schools address isavailable on the district’swebsite, mariemont-schools.org.

For the past couplemonths Cincinnati hasbeen gripped by bitterlycold temperatures, andabove average snowfallshave coveredmuch of thearea in a white blanket.
So far this season, Ma-riemont has used about125 tons of salt, saidMain-tenance SuperintendentJohn Scherpenberg. In atypical winter, the villageuses 150 tons of salt.
“We have a facility wecan keep it in all year, andwe always try to leavesome in from the lastyear, just incasepricesgoup,” he said. “As of rightnow, we’re starting to diginto (the salt supply).”
Despite increased saltuse this year, CincinnatiPublic Services is opti-mistic thesupplywill last.
“I knowwe’re good forawhile,” said Larry Whit-aker, assistant to the di-rector of Public Services.“(We’re) working tomakesure we have salt for thewinter - no real concernsright now.”
Whitaker said a roughestimate is that 35,000tons of salt have beenused so far this winter.
He said the city gener-ally anticipates usingabout 42,000 tons of saltfor an entire year.

Three neighborhoodsare closer to forming anew Community Enter-tainment District.
Bradley Thomas, an at-torney for the 3East Busi-nessAssociation, recentlyspoke to Columbia Tuscu-lum residents about theplan tocreate thisnewdis-trictwithLinwood and theEast End, which the busi-ness association also in-cludes.
A Community Enter-tainment District – a spe-cific designation that hasto be approved by Cincin-nati City Council – allowsfor up to 15 additional li-quor licenses, above thestate quota, in the definedarea.
For this one, it wouldencompass all threeneighborhoods, fromroughly Eli’s Barbecue onRiverside Drive to BellaLuna on Eastern Avenueand up to parts of Colum-bia Parkway, Thomassaid.
“This has no other ef-fect outside of creatingthis new pool of licensesthat can be used to attractbusinesses,” Thomas said.“It’s a tool to help the com-munity as it grows and de-velops. If someone is look-ing to openabusiness, this
might be that extra incen-tive to come down here.”
With a Community En-tertainment District inplace existing businesseslooking toexpandhoursornew businesses coming tothe neighborhood wouldpay $2,344 annually forthe liquor license. On theopen market Thomas saidthese could cost between$20,000 and $30,000.
There are certain re-quirements for a Commu-nity Entertainment Dis-trict designation: the areamust be contiguous, thereis one license per fiveacres, up to amaximumof15, and businesses need atleast a certain level offood service permit.
“Youcan’t findanaban-doned storefront, get oneof these licenses and sayyou’re a bar,” Thomassaid. “You have tomeet allthese requirements.
A Community Enter-tainment District alsodoesn’t trump currentzoningorchange theproc-ess for community coun-cils or schools to object toliquor license requests,nor does it mean relaxedrules for outdoor patios,Sunday alcohol sales oropen container laws, hesaid.
Resident Matt Yauchasked if there are protec-tions in place so one largedeveloper can’t come inand take all the licenses,then sell those at a highercost. Thomas said that’spossible,butveryunlikelybecause that developerwouldneedtenancyrightsto 15 properties and haveall the buildings up tocode.
Matt Ackermann, trea-surer for the ColumbiaTusculum CommunityCouncil and 3 East Busi-ness Association boardmember, said they’vebeen talking about this formore than a year as a waytogrowall threeneighbor-hoods.
“We know ColumbiaTusculum is not verydense in terms of its busi-ness district, so wethought (about) ways wecould getmoremovement
and excitement about thearea by getting all three(neighborhoods) togeth-er,” he said.
“This seemed likesomething we could sinkour teeth into, and itwouldgive opportunities to a lotof potential business own-ers. It’s also somethingpeople who already own abusiness can be involved
with.”New liquor licenses
would be apportionedthroughout the entire dis-trict, and Thomas said it’sunlikely they would beconcentratedinoneneigh-borhood.
Both the Linwood andEast End communitycouncils have indicatedsupport for the new Com-
munity EntertainmentDistrict and final votes toapprove the district areexpected in February.
Afterthat,Thomassaidthey will finalize theboundarymap and draft aletter of support to CityCouncil, which will havetwo public meetings onthe district.
Eastside neighborhoods eyeing more liquor licenses
By Lisa [email protected]
A BRIEF HISTORYIn 2008, City Council
approved two Communi-ty Entertainment Districtsfor the Banks riverfrontdevelopment.In 2010, then-Council-
woman Laure Quinlivanspearheaded legislationso nonprofits focused onneighborhood revital-ization could get a breakon the $15,000 cost toapply for a CommunityEntertainment District.Later that year, Pleas-
ant Ridge became thefirst neighborhood totake advantage of thereduced fee of $1,500.Since then, City Council
has approved CommunityEntertainment Districtsfor East Price Hill, Madi-sonville, Over-the-Rhine,Northside, CliftonHeights/UniversityHeights/Fairview, ShortVine and Walnut Hills.Without a Community
Entertainment District inplace, a business canapply to the state for aliquor license that costs$2,344 annually. But thestate limits the number ofsuch licenses: one forevery 2,000 city residents.And because of pop-
ulation losses, the city ofCincinnati is 14 licensesover its quota, accordingto the state. That means14 businesses would haveto give up licenses beforea new one is issued.
Linwood, the East End and Columbia Tusculum are joiningto form a Community Entertainment District, which wouldopen up 15 new liquor licenses in the designated area tohelp attract businesses. Each community council isexpected to vote on the final proposal in February.FILEPHOTO

Gilmore, girls give Mariemont classic weekendMARIEMONT — Identity theft
appears to be on the rise in theMariemont High School swimprogram.
Literally. In the program.How else to explain the
names on the heat sheets for theWarriors senior night swimagainstvisitingCincinnatiCoun-try Day? Among them, the firstname “Girls” shows up after thesurname “Gilmore.” As in “Gil-more, Girls.” Like the televisionshow.
Or “Brandsen, ColbyCheese,” an obvious homage tosenior Cole Brandsen.
One can only hazard a guessat themeaning behind “Ground-hog, Makayla” – presumably agag on or with junior MakaylaValentine – but no matter.
Mariemont swimmersearned some laughs with astrong showing at the annualSouthwest District CoachesClassic meet Jan. 18 and 19. Thegirls team finished fifth – andwas the top team in Division II -while the boys took 13th.
Gilmore – a juniorwhose realname is Claire – won the 200
freestyle in 1:51.12, beating hernearest competitor fromMasonby .6 seconds. Her 200 time isonly two seconds off the pacethat earned her fourth in the Di-vision II state meet last season.
“I was surprised I did sowell,” Gilmore said. “I figuredI’d make it back to finals, butdidn’t expect the time I had.
There were a lot of great, com-petitive girls in my heat. I want-ed to go out strong and staywiththem,butstillkeepsomeenergy.In the third 50 I made my moveand in the fourth tried toholdon.
“It’s pretty exciting. I can’tstop smiling.”
Shealso tookfourth in the200individual medley and swam
four relays, all ofwhich finishedin the top four.
“Probably the most impres-sive swim she had other thanwinningthe200freewasthebut-terfly leg of the 400 medley re-lay,” saidMariemontheadcoachKevin Maness. “She swam it in56seconds,whichwaseasilyherbest time.
“It’s a fun event to do. Ourschool record, we swam it in1996 in4:02withafewstatequal-ifiers on the team. This year weswam it in 3:55. It was amazing.That was a tough double for her,to go from the relay to the 200.She’s a workhorse. Her commit-ment level and willingness to dowhat she needs to do is great.”
Which Gilmore said runscounter to Maness’s initial im-pressionofherasa5-year-oldonthe Mariemont communityswim team.
“I came out for the team andthey said ‘This little girl can’tswim fast,’” Gilmore said. “I al-ways liked thewater and I’ve al-ways done well in swimming.When I was 12 I started hittingall the (JuniorOlympic)cutsandthinking I could be pretty good.”
Maness doesn’t like to looktoo far ahead – and promised toblame this publication as thejinx if something goes wrong –but admitted his team is in pret-ty good shape heading into theleague and sectional meets.
“I think we found out somethings we have to work on andclean up, but it was a very goodmeet for us,” he said of the clas-sic. “We’re in a good spot.”

WALNUT HILLS — The warmwaters at Walnut Hills HighSchool are flowing with opti-mismascoachGregLynch’sEa-glesdive toward thepostseason.
An odd quirk in schedulingkept Walnut Hills from facingtop Eastern Cincinnati Confer-ence teams Anderson and Tur-pin,but theydidface themintheleague championships Jan. 25.
“I think we’re going to be upthere,” Lynch said. “The girlsshould be in the top three. Thatwould be my goal, to beat Tur-pin. Last year we finished sec-ondandwedidn’t lose thatmanyswimmers. Boys were fourth atthe league meet last year and Ithink we should do much bet-ter.”
TheWalnutHillsgirlsarean-choredbyjuniorsBrookleyGar-ry and Keira Hassel, along withsophomores Casey Becker andMelanie Cashell.
GarryandCashell areamongthe league’s best in the 100breaststroke, with Garry alsocompetitive in the 200 individ-ualmedley.Becker excels in thedistance freestyle events andHassel is second in the league inthe 100 butterfly.
Junior Juan Mougan of theWalnut Hills boys team led theECC in the100 backstroke goinginto the league meet and alsowas atop the 200 IM standings.
Senior Andrew Tengen’s bestevent is butterfly and CooperandMylesKeeneraretwinsthatspecialize in different strokes.Junior Laith Barakat competesin the sprint freestyle events.
“They’re among our top fiveswimmers,”Lynch said. “I thinkwe have a lot more depth thanwe had last year. Even withoutZach Fisher, who went to statelastyear, I thinkwe’rea lotmorebalanced.”
The balance has allowedLynch some creativity in put-ting together meet schedules.
“We’re able to put people indifferent events,” Lynch said.“Last year we had to stick peo-ple in the same events becausethat’s what we needed in orderto be as successful as possible.”
Someof theWalnutHills suc-cesscanbeattributedtothepooljust under their new gym. Be-fore last season, a trip to the Ea-gles pool meant a dark flight ofstairs and the school’s original“cement ponds” that weren’teven regulation length.
Thenewwater has led to newinterest in Eagles swimming.
“Peoplewant to be at the newpool,” Lynch said. “We also havea year-round team, the Hydras,so that’s also generating moreinterest inWalnutHills. It’sabigpositive for the program.”
Beyond the league meet, thenext step ahead for theEagles isthe sectional meet at St. XavierHigh School Feb. 7.

It’s time to replace state Rep. StautbergThis guest column is writ-
ten on behalf of The AndersonTea Party, but it reflects theviews of similar libertygroups in Ohio House District27.
Group leaders represent-ing these groups have decidedunanimously that state Rep.Peter Stautberg should bereplaced.
Our position to replaceRep. Stautberg has not beentaken frivolously. It comesafter in-depth conversationand consideration by a di-verse cross section of conser-vative voters.
The action is being initiat-ed on behalf of concernedconservatives throughout thedistrict; Republicans, Inde-pendents, Libertarians, etc.
While some Republicans inthe district may not be partic-ularly enamored with the TeaParty, based on an erroneous
perceptioncreated by themedia, webelieve thatthey heartilysupport thisinitiative thatis dedicated topreservingthe rights ofindividualliberty and
personal property for every-one in Ohio House District 27.
At issue is not just Rep.Stautberg’s lack of conserva-tive votes, but also his ab-sence of leadership and con-tinuous failure to take a pub-lic position on critical issuesaffecting constituents.
» Common Core. Thereare many reasons why Ohioparents, teachers and taxpay-ers are concerned about Com-mon Core. If allowed to stand,state and local school board
members, along with parentsand teachers, will cede localcontrol of assessments - andby default curriculum - tounaccountable bureaucrats inWashington, D.C.
Rep. Stautberg will notco-sponsor HB237 legislationthat seeks to repeal CommonCore in Ohio, nor will he go onrecord opposing this federaltakeover of our local schooldistricts. Note: The Repub-lican National Committee andthe Hamilton County Repub-lican Party have passed aresolution condemning andrejecting Common Core.
»Medicaid expansion inOhio. It is deeply disappoint-ing that conservatives in Ohio27 had to work tirelessly for10 months in an attempt to getRep. Stautberg to take a standagainst Obamacare’s Medi-caid expansion in Ohio.
While Treasurer Josh Man-
del, along with conservativeOhio legislators, made imme-diate and forthright state-ments condemning Medicaidexpansion, Rep. Stautberg hasrefused to go on record.
Ohioans in a clear majorityreject this backdoor means ofceding federal health care inOhio.
» Former Anderson Trus-tee Kevin O’Brien. Rep.Stautberg’s apathy, in excessof three and a half years, tointroduce legislation allowingfor a recall election for in-competent trustees exposedAnderson residents to fouryears of liability and fiducia-ry risks. Waiting until a fewmonths before O’Brien’s termexpired failed to mitigate anyof these potential damages.
» Allegiance to lobbyists.Rep. Stautberg undermineshis representation of District27 constituents’ local wants
and needs in favor of businessinterests from outside ourdistrict, specifically, interestsinvolving the utility industry.
Critical to Ohio’s futureand District 27, is a repre-sentative we can trust to rep-resent us, like our formerRep. Tom Brinkman, whoserved admirably before hewas term-limited.
There are a number ofother highly qualified Repub-licans in our district, whoshould consider running andare worthy of the support ofall conservatives in the dis-trict. It is our intention toreach out to them and to otherinterested individuals.

A new year brings newhope that a light bulb (albeit aCFL, under new regulations)will go off over the heads ofour elected officials and theywill simply do the right thing.
What do I mean by “rightthing”? Tackle the tough is-sues in a meaningful way,using compromise and goodsense to the greater good.Allow me to illustrate with twocontroversial issues: immigra-tion and gun control.
Currently there is a com-promise deal on the table thattheoretically most peopleagree on. Part of it has alreadybeen voted upon, but someobstructionists baulk at anypath to citizenship for illegalimmigrants already here.They say, among other things,that it would be unfair forthose who are waiting on line,legally.
As a legal immigrant my-self, let me say that the sys-tem is so broken that the argu-ment does not hold water. This
summer (June2013) it wasrevealed thatthe FederalAuthoritieswere just get-ting around toprocessingGreen Cardrequests fromadult childrenof U.S. citi-zens, filed in
August of 1993! (Imagine thewait if you had no family oremployer here).
Look, I agree that if wewere in the days of Ellis Is-land, where you got off a ship,your case would be judged onthe spot, and you were eitherin or out, fine. Illegal immi-grants could be accused ofjumping the line. The currentimmigration system, coupledwith our own demand for low-cost labor, has made circum-venting the law an attractiveoption for immigrants, em-ployers and the general econo-
my of the nation alike. In otherwords, the current immigra-tion system works against ournational interest.
Besides which, the indepen-dent Congressional BudgetOffice estimates that legaliz-ing those immigrants alreadyhere would cut the deficit by$197 billion in the first 10years and $700 billion in thesecond 10 years. And that isjust two of the positive find-ings. Mr. Boehner, do the rightthing!
As for gun control, let mesay this: One guy and a failedattempt with a shoe bomb, andwe are all taking off our shoesat the airport. Columbine andnearly 40 school shootingssince then and …nothing. Sen-sible people realize that theConstitution will not bechanged to prohibit guns.However, only fools believethat the current system issatisfactory.
For what it is worth, here ismy perspective: You need a
license to drive a car. Youmust pass a test to drive aboat. Both were designed fortravel or leisure, but in un-skilled hands, can be danger-ous, even lethal. Then youhave guns. They are designedto be lethal. You don’t have tobe trained or certified to buyor use one. Does that makeany sense? What sensible per-son would deny that obtaininga license that shows you areproficient, able and competentto use lethal weapons, is agood idea?
Instead of passing sensiblelegislation like this, Gov. Kas-ich thinks it is a better idea tolet people carry guns in bars.Mr. Boehner, do the rightthing!
For our representatives, it’stime to stop listening to lobby-ists and start listening to thatlittle voice in your heart – it’scalled your conscience.

Last week’s questionAre you worried about
terrorist attacks at the 2014Winter Olympics in Sochi,Russia? Why or why not?
“I am always worriedabout terrorist attacks. It isa shame that an event likethe Olympics can’t go onwithout this fear.
“I ampretty sure that theathletes will be protectedbut I am not so sure aboutthe general public. One oth-er thing, I know our presi-dent doesn’t allow it but Icall them Islamist terror-ists, these are not the littlesisters of the poor.”

Classic shrimpcocktail with twosauces
For Melanie, whowanted to serve shrimpfor her Super Bowl party.“I want to make theshrimp cocktail myselfinstead of buying it. Doyou have any tips forcooking the shrimp andfor an easy sauce?” sheasked.
Shrimp
2 dozen raw shrimp,deveined with tails on(see tip from Rita’skitchen)
8 quarts water1 lemon, cut in half
2 garlic cloves, smashed3 tablespoons Old Bayseasoning
2 teaspoons salt
Bring water and sea-sonings to a boil. Addshrimp and when thewater returns to a boil,the shrimp should bedone. They will be bright.Have a bowl of ice waterready to put the shrimpin after draining to coolthem off. As soon asthey’re cool, removefromwater and refriger-ate while making sauce.
Cocktail sauceMix together:
1⁄2 cup chili sauce3⁄4 to 1 cup catsup1⁄2 teaspoon garlic, mincedHorseradish to tasteWorcestershire, Tabasco andlemon to taste
Even easier: Just mixchili sauce and catsup totaste
Horseradish sauceNo real recipe here
but I stir grated horse-radish into whippedcream. Or just buy horse-radish sauce and usethat. Sometimes I put asqueeze of lime into thesauce.
Tip from Rita’skitchen
If you buy frozenshrimp, thaw in ice waterin frig. and drain.
Most shrimp comealready deveined. Ifyou’re squeamish aboutit, ask to have them de-veined before you pur-chase.
Cajun barbecuedshrimp
Check out my blog fortwo fun recipes.
Sausage-stuffedjalapenos
I have to admit, theseare addictive. I’vechanged the originalrecipe a bit. Be carefulwhen seeding hot pep-pers. Use gloves. Youcould use a sweeter pep-per if you like.
1pound favorite pork orturkey sausage
8 oz. cream cheese, softened1 cup shredded Romano orParmesan cheese
1 pound large fresh jalapeñopeppers, halvedlengthwise and seeded
Preheat oven to 425degrees. Cook sausageand drain. Transfer tobowl and mix withcheeses. Spoon mixture
into each pepper half andarrange in single layer insprayed baking pan.Bake 20 minutes or untilbubbly and lightly gold-en.
Carol’s vegetariangoetta
When I asked for read-ers to share goetta reci-pes, one of the first Ireceived was from read-er Julie B. Julie sharesher mom’s vegetariangoetta recipe. Here’swhat Julie says: “I haveto share mymom’s vege-tarian goetta recipe. Shehas been making tradi-tional slow cooker goettafor years and then decid-ed she needed an optionfor her many vegetariangrandchildren. It is deli-cious, spicy and flavor-ful! I hope you decide toshare it.” Well, Julie, thisdoes look so good and,yes, I’m happy to share
your Mom’s vegetariangoetta.
11⁄2 cups pinhead oats3 cups warm vegetablebroth
1⁄4 cup olive oil1medium chopped onion5 cloves minced garlic15 ounce can black beans,drained
2 teaspoons dried thyme1-2 teaspoons cumin (Julielikes 2)
1⁄2 teaspoon red pepperflakes
1 teaspoon salt1⁄2 teaspoon ground blackpepper
Combine everythingin slow cooker. Cook onhigh for about two hours,covered. Transfer tosprayed loaf pan, coverand cool overnight. Whenready to cook, heat cano-la oil in skillet and addsliced goetta. Cook oneach side about five min-utes until golden brown.
(Carol says you reallyneed the canola oil, as thegoetta will be very drysince it contains no fatfrommeat).

News that both Targetand NiemanMarcusstores are the latest tohave had their computershacked has made a lotconsumers nervous – andrightly so. The big thingto be concerned about isthe use of debit cards atthese retailers.
Credit card chargesare sent to you in state-ments each month allow-ing you to review thembefore you pay. Debitcard charges come rightout of your bank account,so if someone steals yourdebit card informationthey can empty all themoney from your account
before youbecomeaware.Then,you’ve gotto notifyyour bankand try toget yourmoneyback,which can
take several days. In themeantime, you could beleft unable to pay yourbills. So, if you believeyou’re affected by this, Irecommend you cancelyour debit card and get anew number.
Target is now offering
affected customers oneyear free credit monitor-ing, but emails from theretailer are creatingproblems of their own.One area woman re-ceived what appears tobe a legitimate emailfrom Target. It containslinks so she can sign upfor the credit monitoring.However, she tells meshe’s never given Targether email address so shehas serious questionsabout the email’s authen-ticity.
I agree, there are realquestions about thatemail so I suggested shenot click on any of the
enclosed links. Rather,she can go directly toTarget’s website and getthe information abouthow and where to sign up.
Target also says shop-per’s personal informa-tion appears to have beenstolen and that meansthere could be attemptsat identity theft. That’swhy credit monitoring isso important. You canalso sign up for free cred-it monitoring with CreditKarma. It also providesyour credit report, in-cluding credit score, forfree. You can sign up atwww.creditkarma.com.
If your personal in-
formation has been sto-len, and thieves opencharge accounts in yourname, they can be verydifficult to resolve. Thebest thing to do is contactyour state attorney gen-eral. In Ohio, the attorneygeneral set up a specialIdentity Theft unit thathandled 578 such cases in2013.
Incidentally, the num-ber of phony emails outthere appears to get larg-er by the week. One ofthe newest to watch outfor appears to come fromyour utility company. Itclaims you haven’t paidyour bill and demands
immediate payment. Atthe top of the bill are theletters PG&E, not DukeEnergy
These emails are be-ing sent all over the coun-try prompting PacificGas and Electric to say itis investigating. If youget one of these emailsjust delete it withoutclicking on any links orattachments.

Terrace Park authorJames Flerlage receivedan early Christmas pre-sent when publishing in-dustry reviewer, KirkusReviews,addedFlerlage’sdebut novel, “BeforeBethlehem,” to its BestBook Recommendationslist.
“A good review is al-ways worth its weight ingold,” said Flerlage’s edi-tor, Steve Parolini(www.noveldoctor.com).“But a thoughtful, nu-anced one from such a re-vered (and often quitetough)reviewerasKirkusis particularly weighty.”
The review describes“Before Bethlehem” as “a
historicalnovel seton the eveof the birthof JesusChrist” andpraises thebook as “awarmlypersonal
portraitofJoseph,earthlyfather of Jesus.”
The review also high-lights Flerlage’s storytell-ing: “Tension among theJewish people, their reli-gious leaders and theirimperial Roman over-seers lurks behind thescenesFlerlage effective-ly dramatizes... Flerlagefleshes out the story with
excellent pacing and dia-logue… Readers who’veenjoyed religious fictionfrom Taylor Caldwell andFrancine Rivers will par-ticularly enjoy.”
When asked about thereview, Flerlage smiled.“At first, I didn’t believeit, and I asked my wife ifthere was a mistake. It’snot something you expectfor your first novel. It’sexciting, overwhelming,and humbling, all at thesame time.”

ABOUT REAL ESTATE TRANSFERSInformation is provided as a public service by the office
of Hamilton County Auditor Dusty Rhodes. Neighborhooddesignations are approximate.
Great American Clean-up events, which recentlytook place across theGreaterCincinnati region,saw a 20 percent jump involunteers and a 360 per-cent increase in litter col-lection this year.
These increasesare theresult of allowing commu-nities more flexibility inscheduling.
Volunteers cleaned upvacant lots, streets, parks,playgrounds, and alleys.
Many groups plantedflowers along their busi-ness districts and beauti-fied their communitygateways too.
Historically a three-month program that cen-tered on a single weekendcleanup in April, thisyear’s Great AmericanCleanup was expanded toa full season that ranMarch through Novem-ber.
For the first time,KeepCincinnati Beautiful alsoallowed any neighborhoodgroup, organization, orbusiness that registered acleanup or beautificationevent to receive cleanup
supplies like trash bags,gloves, T-shirts, andwaterbottles.
(In previous years, theGreat American Cleanupwas only open to commu-nity councils.)
This new cleanup sea-son allowed Keep Cincin-natiBeautiful togiveorga-nizers more strategic sup-port and greater access toshared tools, resources,and volunteer groups.
The results:» 182 cleanup events
across more than 60 dis-tinct communities
» 9,098 total volunteers(a 20 percent increase)
» 21,671 volunteerhours (the equivalent ofmore than10 full time em-ployees)
» 243.51 tons of littercollected(a360percent in-crease)
» 1,798 illegallydumped tires removed
» 32 graffiti tags re-moved
» 1,499 trees, shrubs,and flowers planted
Great American Cleanupgets more done this year

Spencer Osborne’sfamily never thoughtthey’dseehiminacapandgown.
His high school dayswere filled with frustra-tion and lashing out whenhe couldn’t communicatebecause of severe autism.
“Spencer has so manysensory issues,with lightsand noise. The schoolcouldn’t handle him. Theywere calling the police onhim,” said his mother,Deborah Floyd.
That changed whenSpencer entered the Step-Up alternative educationprogram for studentswith autism, at SteppingStones Inc., in Cincinnati.
All of thestudentshavesevere autism. Most areplaced in the program be-cause they had extremebehavior challenges in atypical school setting. AtStepping Stones’ Step-Upprogram, students haveindividual aides and per-sonal study rooms. Thepace is based on each stu-dent’s needs.
“A lot of our studentshad pretty rough behav-iors before they came tous,” said Stepping Stones’Manager of EducationalServices Pam Schimwegof Williamsburg.
The specialized educa-tion program helps stu-dents develop their skillsand calm the sensorystorms before they eruptinto challenging behav-iors. “At their districtschools, things weren’tworking out,” she said.“Here, they can succeed.”
SomeStep-Upstudentsend up returning to theirdistrict school. Most com-plete their education atStep-Up, including a cap-
and-gown ceremony withfamily, faculty and fellowstudents.
SpencerOsborne’s cer-emony was in December.
“I didn’t think I wouldever see my son in a capand gown,” said Floyd.
“When he started atStepping Stones, every-thing changed.
“At the other highschool, they were used tomore high functioningstudents. Spencer is non-verbal andwouldget frus-trated. Pam was just thebreath of fresh air Spen-cer needed,” Mrs. Floydsaid.
“From the start, Pamknew what to expect andshe knew how to handlehim. It didn’t matter whatproblems I had, when Italked to Pam, I knew itwas going to beOK.Whenshe promised something,she always came through.It took a lot of stress offmy back and it was greatfor Spencer,” she said.
Tim Lehnerd of Fair-
field is Spencer’s brother-in-law and has watchedhim grow up.
“Stepping Stoneschanged his life. Itchanged all our lives,”said Lehnerd as hesnapped photos of the
graduation ceremony. ““Spencer is smart. He
cando things, he just can’tverbally communicate orexpress what he wants.That’s the hardest thing –not being able to talk. Butif you show him some-thing once, he learns it.Hehasa lot insidehim.Heuses the computer. Showhimataskandhecando it.Stepping Stones has beena wonderful program,”Lehnerd said.
Stepping Stones’ Step-Up program started in2006andwasGreaterCin-cinnati’s first alternativeeducation program de-signed for students withsevere autism and ex-treme behavior chal-lenges who could not suc-ceed in their districtclassrooms. Today, Step-Up has 20 students andserves 14 school districts.Students must be re-ferred to the program bytheir district.
Once the student tran-sitions to the Step Up pro-gram, they are pairedwith a support aide.Teachers work with stu-dents, families and thedistrict school to designindividual educationplans and behavior plans,said Schimweg.
The student and aidebecomea team, saidDion-na Alexander of Oakley,whowasSpencer’saide. “Ihadheard that he couldbeaggressive, but he wasnever aggressive withme,” she said. “This pro-gram has really affectedhis life. He has learnedlife skills. He is a verysmart kid. He’ll do well inthe community.”
Now that he has gradu-ated from the Step-Upprogram, he will partici-pate in an adult workshopprogram, hismother said.“I don’t think that wouldhave been possible with-out Stepping Stones,” she
said.Stepping Stones is a
UnitedWay partner agen-cy that has been servingchildren, teens and adultswith all kinds of disabili-ties since 1963. Besidesthe Step-Up autism pro-gram, the agency pro-vides summer day andovernight camps, year-round adult programs,overnight respites andSaturday activity clubsfor children and youngadults with a wide rangeof disabilities.
United Cerebral Palsyof Greater Cincinnatimerged with SteppingStones in November, ex-panding Stepping Stonesservices and enlarging itto three sites, Indian Hill,Batavia and Norwood.The Step-Up program op-erates at the Indian Hillsite.
