They recently applied for a $225,000 grant from the Ohio Public Works Commission to repair a hillside behind 6610 Mariemont Ave. If the village receives the grant, Marie- mont would be responsible for 10 percent of the project cost, or about $25,000. This landslide is near Whiskey Creek, which runs through Dogwood Park on Pleas- ant Street, and some areas of the hillside are more eroded than others, said Village Engi- neer Chris Ertel. “We’d like to (repair) the whole thing, but it’s too large of a scope to handle at one time,” he said. Councilman Cortney Scheeser noted that erosion in the wooded ravine area of the park has been an issue for a while. In 2010 residents near Park Lane ex- pressed concern about erosion throughout the area near the boathouse. They said erosion had taken out a few trees on the hillside and widened a small ditch to more than 5 feet. This project doesn’t address those areas, and Mayor Dan Policastro said the landslide behind the home on Mariemont Avenue is much worse than the other hillsides in the park’s woods. “That whole area (behind Mariemont Ave- nue) is caving in,” he said. “There is a beauti- ful beech tree that’s probably a hundred years old, and if we don’t do something it’s go- ing to go over the hill.” There used to be a concrete drainage cul- vert in that area, but it has since washed away, Councilman Dennis Wolter said, and now the water is flowing freely and acceler- ating the erosion issue.

BRIEFLY

HYDE PARK — For thefirst time, the Hyde ParkFarmers Market will oper-ate during the winter.

It will also be indoorsfor the first time.

The Hyde Park “WinterFarmers Market” will befrom 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sun-days at Clark Montessori,3030 Erie Ave.

The winter market willrun December throughApril.

“The farmers are stillproducing in the winter,”said Hannah Westheimer,market manager for theHyde Park Farmers Mar-ket. “It made sense (to con-tinue the market).”

Vendor Sarah Mancinowith Farm Beach Bethelsuggested continuing themarket beyond November,when it traditionally ends.“Customers (started) ask-ing me where they couldfind farmers and othervendors,” she said.

Clark Montessori wascontacted by another of thevendors, who was a formerteacher at the school.

“Both Clark and Cincin-nati Public Schools arereally supportive of themarket,” said Mancino. “Itseems to be a perfect fit.”

Mancino said studentsat the school will have anopportunity to see how lo-cal farmers operate andthe process involved in or-ganizinga farmersmarket.

She said a portion of theproceeds raised at themar-ket will go to the school’sathletic program.

Cincinnati’s Oldest Furrier Since 1920

Mariemont police offi-cers can now use firearmsto kill coyotes in the vil-lage.

Four council membersaccepted a Safety Commit-tee report that recom-mends creating a six-partprogram to control coyotesin the village. Councilwom-an Denise McCarthy votedagainst the recommenda-tion, and Councilman Cort-ney Scheeser was absent.

Residents have been re-porting more coyote sight-ings in thevillageanda fewcitizens expressed concernto council about the prob-lem earlier this year. Mostreports came from thesouth side of the villagenear Miami Bluff Driveand Mariemont Avenue.

The Safety Committeerecommendation includesgiving the police/fire chiefthe authority to create andimplement a culling pro-

gram, public awarenessinitiatives and a six-monthprogress report.

The majority of thehunting would be in thesouth 80 acres, an openfarmland/wooded areaabutting the Little MiamiRiver.But if there isaprob-lem coyote in the villageCouncilman Dennis Woltersaid officers “have a dutyto take that animal.”

“It’s hard to predictwhen they’re going to bethere, and we’ll have signsto letpeopleknowwe’redo-ing this,” he said.

Councilman Jeff An-drews, who is also on theSafety Committee, said itwill be hard to define suc-cess in the program andsuggested having officershunt coyotes aminimumoffive times during the six-month trial period.

“If this program is im-plemented it would onlyhappen during late-nighthours – an hour or so aftersunsetandaftermidnight,”

Andrews said.McCarthy voted against

the measure and said shedoesn’t see the need forsuch a program. “I believea formal hazing programshould be the first defenseand not firearms in the vil-lage,” she said.

Hazing programs havebeen implemented in LosAngeles, Denver and Van-couver, British Columbia,according to a fact sheetfromtheOhioStateUniver-sity Extension.

Hazing programs in-volve using deterrents orrepellents to try to re-in-still fear of humans backinto coyotes and get packsto move out of an area.

Mariemont OKs guns to kill coyotesBy Lisa [email protected]

HOW ITWORKSThere are six components

of the recommendationfromMariemont’s SafetyCommittee, including:» The police/fire chief

puts together a program tohelp manage these wildanimals.» Council gives the police

chief authority to imple-ment programs for control-ling problem coyotes in thevillage. Problem coyotesare further defined asthose appearing in resi-dential neighborhoodsand/or exhibiting aggres-

sive behavior in non-resi-dential areas.» Only village police

officers can carry outcoyote control measures,and there must be ade-quate public notice ofdate/time/location.» Establish a public

awareness program.» There must be a six-

month progress reportonce the program is inplace.» Continue to work with

the Ohio Department ofNatural Resources to en-sure safety and effective-ness of the program.

Four Mariemont council members agreed to move ahead with a program that allowsvillage police officers to use guns to kill coyotes. PROVIDED

CANTON—As the lyrics to thesong by Bowling For Soup go:“Bruce Springsteen, Madonna,way before Nirvana, there wasU2 andBlondie andmusic still onMTV.”

The song is called “1985.” Itwas the last time ArchbishopMoeller High School won thestate title in football.

OnDec.1, theCrusadersbrokethe 27-year football title drought.The “flux capacitor” was utilizedand it was “Back to the Future”with coach John Rodenberg’screwloadinguptheOhioDivisionI trophy into theDelorean for theride back home.

Playing a Toledo Whitmerteam that was 14-0 and dominant,theCrusaderswon20-12. Indoingso, a defense that had been criti-cized held the Panthers to a sea-son-low 12 points.

“People thinkourdefense isn’tgood, but we gave up12 points to-

night,” Michigan State-boundlinebacker Shane Jones said. “Itdidn’t surprise me. I know myguys will fight to the end.”

Jones finishedwith 7.5 tacklesand two tackles for loss to leadthe Moeller defenders.

Whitmerdidget their yards asquarterback Nick Holley wentfrom being held to 14 yards rush-ing at the half, to finishwith 92 onthe ground. In the air, he was 12-20 for 196 yards and two scores.Whitmer finished with morepassing yards, butwas outrushedbyMoeller 154-108.

The Crusaders led 17-6 at thebreak thanks to a Matt Reinigerfirst-quarter field goal and 14points in the second quarter. Sen-ior quarterback Spencer Iaco-vone hit senior KeithWatkins fora seven-yard score and then latersneaked into the endzone behindcenter Chris Henke.

In the third frame, Whitmerfought back and had the onlyscorewhenNateHolleywas jollyin the endzone on a pass from histwin brother, Nick, to cut Moell-er’s lead to 17-12.

Itwouldbethe last scoreof theseason for thePanthers. TheCru-

saders held Whitmer scorelessfor the final 13 minutes.

“That’s what state champion-ships are all about, being able topersevere longer than the otherteam,” Rodenberg said. “I feel

good for the Moeller alumni. It’sabout tradition. I told these guysthey’regoing to raise thebar a lit-tle bit.”

The Warriors will be led by acore of returningdistrict qualifiersin Trevor Cash(170 pounds), Da-vid Quiambao(195), Riley Hen-derson (132) andDominik Butler(106).

Junior OmarMustafa now hastwo years of varsity experienceunder his belt, but the 2012-2013campaignwillmark the first timefreshmen Eric Christine andWillBrady take to the varsity mat.

Wood is hopeful that Mustafawill be able to build on last sea-son’s momentum and place in afew tournaments this season,while the two freshmen bring anexcitement to the mat becauseboth freshmen are new to thesport.

ning records in 21 of the last 22seasons Jeff Gaier has coachedand that trend should continuefor the defending Greater Catho-lic League-South champions.Moeller has won that title 19 ofthe last 20 seasons.

“We have a good deal of wres-tlers back with state experienceand shouldhave agoodamount ofdepth, particularly in the middleand upper weights,” Gaier said.

Among last season’s accoladesare Mendel qualifying as a statealternate at 120 pounds; districtqualifier Wilson at 160; two-timestate-placerFrueaufat220; state-placer Sizemore at 152; state-placer Meyer at 145; state-placerThornberryat195; state-qualifierRosser at 182 and state-qualifierZiegler at 106.

Watkins, who is going toNorthwestern, led Moellerwith 68 rushing yards. Henow gets a short breatherbefore he hits the hard-wood for Carl Kremer’sbasketball team.

“I’ve been dreaming ofthis since Iwas a little kid,”Watkins said. “My Dad al-ways told me in littleleague that they would getme to a high school where Icould finally be a champi-on.”

In addition to his 22tough carries on theground, Watkins was alsotheCrusaders’ topreceiverpulling down eight passesfor 76 yards. The Moellerpass attack was open andalive for business on thisSaturday night.

“A lot of people weredoubting us and saying weweren’t a passing team andjust a rushing team,” Wat-kins said. “We had to dowhat we had to do. We got

the win.”Watkins was joined on

the podium with Jones andIacovone as coach Roden-berg was presented the Di-vision I trophy to deafen-ing blue and gold cheers.Iacovone was right behindWatkins in rushing yardswith 63 was 15-19 passingfor 161 yards and a score.

Afterward, the typicallytalkative signal caller wasnearly overcomewithemo-tion.

“This year was easilythe toughest. We playedfour state championshipteams,” an out-of-breathIacovone said. “It’s such agreat feeling to win thisand be with my friends outhere. It’s so great!”

Added Jones, “Wefought througheverything,I’m so proud of our guysthat we can finally hold thetrophy again.”

The Crusaders finish12-3 and will be presentingtheir eighth state champi-onship trophy to the stu-dents. Most three-lossteams don’t go as far. Thenagain, most haven’t faced a

schedule that looks like“murderer’s row.”

“When we beat (Louis-ville) Trinity that took usinto a little easier shot intothe playoffs,” assistantcoach Steve Klonne said.“After Trinity, we played alittle better every week.It’s a tribute to our kids andour program.”

It was Klonne who re-joined the Moeller crusadethis season along with for-mer Bengal pro personneldirector, Jim Lippincott.Rodenberg had thewisdomto hire the “SunshineBoys,” who were instru-mental in Moeller’s last ti-tle 27 years ago.

The former head coachassisted Doug Rosfeld onthe offensive line and Lip-pincott directed the de-fense that held Whitmerdown. The veteran Klonnesays he’ll be back for morenext season.

“They’re going to takeme out of here in a box!” hesaid. More than 8,834 at-tended the festivities atCanton’s Fawcett Stadium.

A publication of

As we near the end of thissmog season, I reflected back onmy experiences with the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana RegionalCouncil of Governments’ CleanAir Program’s various festivalsand fairs I attended. One of theinteresting aspects of my in-volvement was the many ques-tions I received from AfricanAmericans involving smog; itsaffects and what can be done toprevent it. This drove me toresearch if any one race wasmore prone to the most preva-lent ailment of smog, asthma.

According to the U.S. Depart-ment of Health and HumanServices’ Office of MinorityHealth, African Americans are30 percent more likely to haveasthma than non-Hispanicwhites. The three main reasonswhy more African Americanstend to be diagnosed with asth-ma: limited access to healthcare, structure of neighbor-

hoods and envi-ronmentalstatus.

According toa literaturereview aboutthe Prevalenceof AsthmaDisparitiesAmongst Afri-can-AmericanChildren, lim-

ited access to health care wastheir first conclusion involvingthis asthma problem because ofthe lack of treatment and avail-able health care. The study alsocontributed this to The NationalAsthma Education and Preven-tion Program guidelines. Theseguidelines can be misinterpret-ed because the range of symp-toms within the guidelines re-flects only a narrow view ofsymptoms. This leads to mis-communication between provid-ers and patients. The lack of

information and directions pro-vided can create awful conse-quences.

Social structure and neigh-borhoods is the next categoryrelating more cases of asthma toAfrican Americans. Variousstudies show that income has ahuge impact on asthma but it isnot the only thing. Families wholive in low income and highcrime areas are afraid theirchildren may be harmed bygang or drug violence so chil-dren spend a disproportionateamount of time indoors. Lowincome areas often have olderand at times badly maintainedhousing due to absentee land-lords. An impoverished neigh-borhood with poor housing cre-ates a physical environment thatis high in allergens from smoke,dust mites, mold from waterdamage and pest.

With all these potential prob-lems, as children are growing up

around them, they are moreprone to developing problemssuch as asthma. Children tend tobreathe more rapidly becausetheir lungs aren’t fully devel-oped which make them suscep-tible to respiratory problems.

With all this being said, thereare things that can be done tohelp prevent respiratory issues.Here are some things you cando:

» Seek a primary physicianor get in touch with a convenienthealth center and attend regularcheck-ups. Every patient isdifferent and seeing your doctorregularly will help provide asolution to your symptoms.

» Exercise. Being overweightis a strong contributor to asthmabecause it makes it hard tobreathe. Staying in shape andeating well are two great thingsto keep you healthy.

» If you are a smoker, consid-er quitting. Smoke as well as

environmental irritants likedust, pollen and mold; perfumeand feather beds can contributeto respiratory problems.

»Make sure your home envi-ronment is free of irritatingsubstances such as dirt, chem-icals from aerosols, dust, stand-ing water and perfumes.

Last week’s questionHow do you plan to do most

of your holiday shopping thisyear: in person or online, fromnational “big box” stores, orfrom locally owned businesses?

“In order to put my responseinto context, let me remindreaders that I am an old man.First of all, just being a man isan impediment to acquiringChristmas shopping skills. Be-ing old merely compounds thatdifficulty.

“I'vestoppedgetting lingeriefor my wife because she's wellstocked. One of our sons needsabsolutely nothing, and that is achallenge. I give the other sonand our daughter cash, and thatworks well.

“Andfinally, I try towritemywife a funny poem at Christmas(and other important dates dur-ing the year). I wish I could dobetter, but Santa Claus I ain't.”

Bill B.

“As an American male over65, I can't think of anything Ihate much more than shoppingfor gifts. No wonder Scroogewas in a badmood. I would rath-er prep for a colonoscopy.

“Theonlyperson I shop for ismy wife. She has everythingand whatever I buy is usuallythe wrong size, style or color. Iwill domy best to buywhateverI get online with the exceptionof jewelry. I rely on a local jew-eleron8MileRoadnearClough.

“Iwould not set foot in amallif my life depended on it anddriving on Beechmont Avenueis even worse.”

F.S.D.

“Well, I have resigned my-self to doing it online. I have areal hard time with being in themall, it just seems to claustro-phobic with all the folks inthere.

“Also it is nice to have thegifts shipped to work and thenafter work just wrap them upand store them in my office asopposed to me heading backhomeandhaving to sneak some-thing into the house and hidingit.

“However I will frequentsmaller, independent business-es like those found in theNorth-side or Ludlow/Clifton area.They will typically have moreunique items and I enjoy givingnot only supporting local retail-ers but also find the gifts to be

very well received.“Happy Holidays to all!”

I.P.

“In this season of financialuncertainty, we will continue todownplay the massive Christ-mas buying orgy that so manyothers seemtohavebought into.We always have ignored BlackFriday, choosing instead tospend quiet times with friendsand family, skipping the big boxstoresandtheirmediamadness,and all of their Made in Chinamerchandise.

“Howpleasant instead, to lis-ten to Christmas music, sit by awarming fire, and string pop-corn and cranberries for ourChristmas tree.Rememberhowto do that?

“We made pine cones cov-ered in peanut butter and bird-seed for the wildlife that visitsour yard during the coldmonths, they too are apprecia-tive that we've chosen not togorge ourselves in the big boxholiday store frenzy as so manyhave.

“Our local bookstore ownerknows our names, greets us en-thusiastically and questionshow we enjoyed our latest pur-chase. Wemake it a game to seehow many Made in USA itemsare in the little toy store aroundthe block. Quite a few, we'vefound out, and certainly moresatisfying to support our USAeconomy and workers thanthose in foreign lands.

“We attend the wonderfulfall and winter classes at the lo-cal plant nursery, theyknowournames too, andweknow for cer-tain their plants are grown righthere supporting the local econo-my.

“And thebest thing?Wehavenot spent money on items thatwill soon be broken or discard-ed, and instead relish thewarmth of the holiday seasonwithout credit card debt. Youought to try it, it truly is verysatisfying.”

In my house, you’renever too young, or old, tohave a stocking hung onthe mantle for St. Nicholasto fill.

Yesterday, the littleones hung their stockings

up and4-year-oldgrand-daughterEva, whohas a 4-month-oldsister, Em-erson, said“I’ll sharemine withEm.” Nowthat’s what

the holidays are about!

Easy peanut brittleThis is not as sweet as

the kind of brittle that youbuy. I’ve used both lightand dark corn syrup andthe dark is what my fam-ily prefers, but use what-ever you have on hand.This recipe does not con-tain baking soda, whichgives some peanut brittlethe customary honeycombtexture. Now dependingupon the kind of pan youuse (I used a stainlesssteel), it may take a littlelonger or shorter time tomake the candy than therecipe calls for. Check outmy blog – abouteating.com– for step-by-step photos.1⁄2 stick unsalted butter1⁄2 cup sugar2 tablespoons corn syrup1 teaspoon vanilla1 to 11⁄2 cups nuts: yourfavorite (We like salted

mixed nuts)

Spray cookie sheet.Over medium heat, stirbutter, sugar, corn syrupand vanilla until melted,smooth and bubbly. Coverand cook one minute. Stirin nuts, raise heat to medi-um high and cook, stirringconstantly, until nuts arefragrant, lightly brownedand the mixture is verygolden, about five min-utes. What happens is themixture will reach thehard crack stage (300degrees). If you put a bitin a glass of cold water, itwill make a hard ball.Immediately pour ontocookie sheet, spreadingthinly as possible. Asprayed offset spatula orbutter knife helps here.Cool until hard, about 15

minutes, then break intopieces. Keep covered atroom temperature.

Perfect roast beefGood for that holiday

sirloin tip or similar roast,not chuck, which needs tobe roasted differently. Anunconventional way ofroasting. Cranking up theoven to 475 developsmoist, flavorful meat. Yes,you may have some splat-ter in the oven, but thatshould clean up OK.

3-4 pounds beef roast (seeabove)

Preheat oven to 250degrees. Season with saltand pepper and brown onall sides in oil in ovenproofpan (or scrape up brownbits and place all in roast-ing pan). Roast until tem-

perature reaches 110 de-grees, 45-60 minutes or so.Leave in oven and in-crease heat to 475 de-grees. Cook until temper-ature reaches 120 degreesfor rare, 125 for mediumrare or 130 for medium.This will take up to 30minutes or so. Check after20 minutes. Remove fromoven, tent with foil and letrest 15 minutes. Servewith pan juices.

Tips from Rita’s kitch-en

Put several slivers ofgarlic in meat.

Add a little dry redwine or beef broth duringlast 20 minutes.

Healthy sweetpotato fries

A good time of year tomake this since sweet

potatoes are good buys inseason. I’ll add a pinch ofcayenne if making foradults. Let kids help tosstogether and talk abouteating “from the Gardenof Eden,” the brighter thecolor of the veggie, thebetter it is for you!

4 sweet potatoesCanola or olive oilSalt to tasteCayenne pepper, optional (Alittle goes a long way)

Preheat oven to 425degrees. Spray cookiesheet. Peel potatoes, cutinto wedges. Put in bowland toss with a couple orthree tablespoons oil.Place single layer onsheet, sprinkle with sea-soning, and bake 20 min-utes. Turn potatoes overand bake until golden andtender, about 20 minutes.If potatoes are cut thin,they may take less time; ifthicker, a bit more.

UNITED METHODIST

You have a house fireand your home needsmajor repairs. Althoughyou’re fully insured, youcan still run into problemsthat can bring you close tobankruptcy. That’s whatan area man fears mayhappen to him.

Daniel VanDean hasowned a house in HiddenValley Lake for the pasttwo years. In February,there was a fire in thelower level of his house.

“The smoke got up intothe walls, into the insula-tion, and basically thewhole house had to begutted completely,” hesaid.

VanDean hired a con-tractor to do most of therepairs. “He was given

two checks.One ofthem, for$15,000 toget started,and thenanother for$25,000 tocontinuethe work,”he said.

But,although the job was tohave been completed inAugust, it was far fromcomplete months later.

VanDean says helearned a lot of the work-ers weren’t getting paidand liens were being filedagainst his home. “So, outof that $40,000 the con-tractor kept the $40,000.

“I’m paying for the rest

of the work out of my ownpocket. This is going toleave me quite a bit ofmoney short finishing myhouse,” VanDean said.

VanDean’s insuranceagent looked at the workthat had been performedand wrote a letter sayinghe felt the work was sub-standard. In one case, hefound a used vanity hadbeen installed in one of thebathrooms. That vanityhas since been replacedwith a new one, but Van-Dean says it took morethan a week for him tocorrect construction prob-lems.

It turns out most of theconflict with the contrac-tor is over work VanDeansays he never authorized.

He says the problem is, “Itwasn’t in writing. It was‘word of mouth’ and that’swhere the legal systemsays I should have had itin writing.”

So I called the contrac-tor who took issue with thequality of his work, sayingit did pass a county in-spection. He says therewas a signed agreement

but admits a lot of workwas done with just a ver-bal OK. He says that extrawork added more time tothe job.

So protect yourselfwhen hiring a contractor.Get written estimatesfrom three contractors.Then make sure the con-tract you sign includesany changes, in writing,

and make certain it stateswho pays for the materialsand subcontractors sothere’s no question aboutit later.
