Teacher has reservations about new gym waiver ANDERSON TWP. — A physical educa- tion teacher at Nagel Middle School has concerns about a recently approved waiver. During its May meeting the Forest Hills school board approved a waiver which will allow students who have com- pleted two full seasons of interscholastic athletics, marching band or cheerlead- ing to be excused from the high school physical education graduation require- ment. The waiver, which can be used by students in grades 9 through 12, will be implemented in the 2013-2014 school year. Scott Peters, a health and physical education team leader at Nagel, ex- pressed his concerns to the board during the meeting. Peters said the activities permitted by the waiver do not necessarily com- pare to those in the traditional physical education curriculum. He said the waiv- er is also somewhat vague in regard to meeting certain requirements. Peters said more input should have been sought from some of the health and physical education teachers before adopting the waiver. “Give all parties a chance to respond,” he said. Natasha Adams, the new director of instructional services for the district, said Ohio has permitted this waiver for more than a decade. “Many districts in our area have adopted similar policies,” she said. Ellie Preston, secondary program co- ordinator for the district, said the waiver provides “students with as many oppor- tunities as possible.” Superintendent Dallas Jackson said the feedback he has received regarding the waiver has been positive. Jackson said a reason the district adopted the waiver was that with so many different classes available a num- ber of students were taking physical education courses in the summer. Jackson said by taking the physical education courses in the summer the stu- dents were able to take some of these other courses and still meet state re- quirements. Board member Julie Bissinger said an effort should be made to “actively en- gage” the physical education teachers as it proceeds with the waiver. Board member Tracy Huebner agreed. “We are approving this, but it will be monitored over time,” she said. “We have a lot of work ahead of us to make it successful.” By Forrest Sellers [email protected] Jackson ANDERSON TWP.

NEWTOWN—Investiga-tors remain stumpedas towhat ignited a March 1fire that has closed Las-zlo’s Iron Skillet restau-rant to this day.

It’s not uncommon forofficials to classify thecause of a fire as “unde-termined,” as is the casehere, said MichaelThompson, an investiga-tor with the Little MiamiJoint Fire & and RescueDistrict and a member ofthe Hamilton County Ar-son Taskforce.

“It’s very difficult toprove,” Thompson said.

“You can narrow itdown to possibilities, butyou don’t say it’s ‘this’ or‘that’ unless you canprove it.”

Thompson says the in-ability to find an ignitionsource of the fire wasn’tfor lack of trying.

His written report onthe fire at Laszlo’s on Val-ley Avenue in Newtownshows separate probes bygovernment and privateinvestigators so exten-sive that they literally in-cluded a good look at thekitchen sink.

All of the investigatorsagreed that the fire atLaszlo’s started in thekitchen’s food-prepara-tion area in the rear of thebuilding.

That’s where firefight-ers dispatched just be-fore1a.m.March1ona tipfrom two motorists sawflames shooting throughthe roof.

According to Thomp-son’s report:

Monica Lippmeier, oneof the owners of Laszlo’sIron Skillet, said she wasthe last person to leavethe restaurantFeb. 28, ex-iting at about 10:30 p.m.after making sure all theequipmentwas turned offand the building secured.

All the doors werelocked when firefightersarrived.

Lippmeier’s brotherLaszlo Molnar Jr., co-owner of Laszlo’s, said hehad no trouble with appli-ances while working ear-lier that day.

Investigators believe

the fire started aroundthe intersection of thewest and north walls inthe food-preparation areaof the kitchen, the mostheavily damaged room inthe restaurant.

“The decreasing dam-age patterns on the westwall and the north wallcome together to form a‘V’ pattern originating atground level,” Thompsonsaid.

“The roof collapsed inthis area directly above,revealing engineeredwood I-joists.

“All of the joists overthe area have burnedcompletely away,”Thompson said.

A cabinet storage sys-tem in the area investiga-tors believe the fire be-gan contained items suchasplastic foodcontainers,flour and beans.

So what touched offthe blaze remains a mys-tery.

“Information providedby the building ownersduring interviews indi-cated no candles werepresent or other heat-pro-ducing appliances or de-vices were left in opera-tion within the room oforigin to act as a potentialignition source.

“All other competentignition sources wereconsidered, however not

all have been able to beeliminated as a potentialignition source at thistime,” Thompson said.

For instance, a stackwasher/dryer near whereauthorities believe thefire started drew atten-tion.

Two servers at Laszlo’ssaid the dryer was run-

ning with a load of clothnapkins when they leftthe restaurant shortly af-ter 10 p.m. Feb. 28.

One private investiga-tor ruled out an electricalcause, although he alsosaid wiring inside thestack washer/dryer wastoo fragile to examine.

“One oddity he did findwas a lack of arcing,”Thompson said.

Arcing is the flow ofelectricity throughtheairfrom one conductor to an-other, which can producevisible flashes andflames.

“No beading (on wir-ing) was found in thekitchen area, which is un-usual in an area of suchhigh heat.

“(The dryer’s electri-cal system) has not beenruled out as a possiblecause,” Thompson said.

Thompson said the ar-son taskforce, which as-sisted in the investiga-tion, is an investigativeagency that does not con-fine itself to suspectedar-sons.

Members include fire,police, prosecutor, coro-ner — even federal Bu-reau of Alcohol, Tobacco,Firearms and Explosives

– representatives.“At this point, any and

all investigative tools andmethods pertaining tothis case have been ex-hausted,” Thompson said.

“We reserve the rightto amend this reportshould new evidence be-come available at a laterdate.”

Thompson’s reportsays Laszlo’s owners had$350,000 worth of proper-ty and contents insur-ance, and that damageswill equal at least thatmuch.

Lippmeier, who couldnot be reached for com-ment, has said ownershave been doing all theycan to reopen the 40-year-old business, which hasbeen on Valley Avenuesince 1975.

If they can’t afford torebuild the restaurant toits current size, Lipp-meier said, they hope torebuild smaller.

Once owners decidehow to proceed they willnotify customers byemail and Facebook,Lippmeier said.

Six juniors fromMcNicholasHighSchool recently embarkedon a trip to Washington, D.C. toparticipate in the Close Up Pro-gram. Hayley Coldiron, ClaireGriffiths, Anthony Luster, Mi-chaelMassie, Kristen Rehl, andSarahRuwe spent theweek dis-cussing controversial topicswith government officials, de-bating current issues, andlearning about how the govern-ment works firsthand.

The trip was funded by Rob-ert C. Fisher, Class of 1955. TheFischer Scholar Program atMcNicholas was establishedthrough a donation from his es-tate so studentscouldattend the$2,000 trip each year.

“The mission of Close Up isto inform, inspire,andempoweryouth to accept responsibilityand understand the rights ofyouth and democracy,” seniorprogram instructor AaronPrice said.

One of Price’s goals is to helpstudents find their voices and tofeel comfortable conveyingtheir opinions to decision mak-ers. “I refuse to believe youthshould have towait,” Price said.“The voice of future politicalclimate is lacking and I want[youth] to be comfortable tak-ing the reins to change society.They are the ones that mustpush the brink.”

Social Studies teacher Pat-rick Stricker organized andchaperoned the trip “I thinkthatCloseUpgives the studentsa chance to venture out of theircomfort zones and experience aweek with students from vari-ous backgrounds and heritag-es,” Stricker said.

Griffiths believes that hear-ing students fromacross thena-tion share their perspectives onnational topics has helped ex-pand her own views. “I’ve real-ized that it is important to be

able to articulate an opinion,”Griffiths said. “I learned moreabout many current issues, andnowIamable to formmoreedu-cated opinions on them.”

Luster’s favorite part of thetrip was meeting Ohio Sen. RobPortman and Rep. Brad Wen-strup. “I was surprised to re-

In addition to discussing top-

ics such as a ban on assaultweapons, the legalization of gaymarriage, and the use of dronesin modern warfare, studentsvisited numerous monuments,memorials, and museums. Oth-erhighlightsof theweek includ-edwitnessing an interactive do-mestic issues debate between aliberal and conservative, tour-ing the French and SwitzerlandEmbassies, and sitting in on aSenate hearing.

At the end of the week, thestudents received certificatesdeclaring them to be Close Upalumni. However, Price doesnot believe that the certificateis all they will take away fromthis trip. “What they take awayfrom this week isn’t tangible,”he said. Price thinks that thestudents learned an importantlesson that can be summarizedin the following Ronald Reaganquote: “If not us, who? If notnow, when?”

WilsonElementarySchool sixth-graders recently participated in aHeimlich Heroes program.

As part of the program, the stu-dents had the opportunity to learnthe Heimlich maneuver.

The program inspires childrento realize they have the power tosave a life and be a Hero.

“Heimlich Heroes programwasagreatway to teachour sixth-grad-ershow to takecareof others,” saidPrincipal Robert Buck.

“This was also a great way tobuild asset No. 30 - Responsibility.I’mveryproudofoursixth-gradersfor participating in the programandwant to thankourPTAformak-ing this possible.”

During the training, studentspracticed the Heimlich maneuveron “Heidi Heimlich,” a 42-inchtraining doll.

The doll is designed with an in-ternal diaphragm, lungs and awindpipe.

When the student finds the dia-

phragm and uses upward thrustmotions, it pushes air through thelungs.

This results in a piece of Styro-foambeing expelled from the doll’smouth.

Heimlich Heroes program in-cludes a robust curriculum thatmeets the objectives of the State ofOhio’smost recent SixthGradeAc-ademic Content Standards and theCommon Core Standards.

Nagel Middle School studentsmight not know it, but there is amovie star in their ranks.

Seventh-grader Michael Fruh-wirth recently appeared in themovie “The Good Fight.” Themovie is about a father’s tough de-cision to fight the “good fight”;meaninghedecided toconfront the“town bully.”

Fruhwirth played the son of themain character and enjoyed plentyof screen time in this locally pro-

duced film by PlumStreet Productions.

“Like my dadpointed out, I’m for-ever known as a 12-year-old,” he said.

Though he en-joyed the experi-ence andhis successas an actor, Fruh-

wirth isn’t planning a career in themovies.He has his sights set on be-ing an attorney.

Until that day, however, youmight be able to catch Fruhwirthon stage in a local theatrical pro-duction.

He’s already played parts infour plays.

“I’m typically in adult come-dies,” he said. “I just like come-dies.”

His dad, Gary Fruhwirth, firstgot Michael interested in acting. Itwas also his dad’s connections thathelped to land him the movie role.

COLUMBUS—This better be good.The story, that is. Its subject - as evi-

dencedbynumerousathleticawardsanda career-capping run to the Division IIstate track and fieldmeet in the 300-me-ter hurdles - clearly is.

ButMaddieScott - anAmelia residentand recent McNicholas High schoolgraduate - is more than an athlete. Shelearned herway around a story as editorfor the school’s online newspaper.

No pressure.“I’ll call with my complaints,” she

said, laughing. “I’m sure it will be fine.”Phew.Scott traveled to Columbus each of

the last three season, but 2013marks hermaiden voyage individually.

She took 14th place in the state Divi-sion II 300-meter hurdles with a time of48.56 seconds.

Preparing for the journey has beenunusual compared to past trips north.McNick seniors have been out of schoolseveralweeks already. Scott has been onthe job as a lifeguard at Hyde Park GolfandCountryClubandworkingouton thetrack after being poolside.

“It’s been weird coming back fortrack practice after not having school,”she said. “The seniors are all coming infrom wherever and the underclassmenhave been in school all day.”

Head coach Dan Rosenbaum said fo-cus has not been a problem.

“She has been a rock-solid performerfor us for four years in track and field,”he said. “This is her fourth trip to thestate meet, but her first ever in an indi-vidual race. She has competed the lastthree years in the 4x800 relay.

“This year she concentrated more onthe hurdles because that is where theteamneededher.Shehadqualified to theregional meet in the 300 hurdles each ofher first three years, but this was thefirst time that she made the regional fi-nal. She turned in a good performance intheregionalfinalsandqualifiedtostate.”

Scott likes the hurdles.“I really loved being on a relay,” she

said. “I got very close with the girls onmyteam.But I like the ideaofqualifyingas a individual, too. That’s been some-thing I’ve wanted to do all four years.

“I like that (the 300 hurdles) is some-thing different. The distance is differ-ent, the jumping is different. I just enjoyit.”

Rosenbaum likes the diversity andflexibility his senior star afforded theteam.

“Maddie is a very competitive runnerand a very driven person,” Rosenbaumsaid. “She has been a part of many bigraces for the Rockets in the last fouryears. This year she was named GGCL

BATT BREAKS SCHOOL RECORD

Anderson High School senior Sean Batt (#16) runs the 800 meters in the Division I state track and field championships June 8 inColumbus. Batt finished eighth with a school-record time of 1:54.32. He had qualified to state in the 4x800 relay as a junior. “It wasa lot different coming up here as an individual, warming up by myself,” he said. Batt - who plans to attend the University ofCincinnati and run for the Bearcats - eclipsed the old Anderson record by .05 seconds. “All the hard work is finally paying off,” hesaid. MARK D. MOTZ/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

COLUMBUS — Sports wisdom dic-tates giving110 percent in competition.

Turpin High School senior sprinterCharlie Ronan worked at making thismathematical impossibility a reality.He qualified for his first trip to the Di-vision I state meet by treating the 100-meter dash as a 110-meter race.

“A lot of times when a kid sees he’sgoing towin - or even if he can’twin - helets up a little bit,” said Spartan headtrackcoachJimGossett. “But in a relayor in the team context, those extratenthsmatter.We’vebeenworkingwithCharlie to finish strong every race.”

Ronan got the message.“Mymind is usually blankwhen I go

to the blocks and I can’t hear anythingwhen I go,” he said. “All I hear in mymind is ‘Just finish.’”

Ronan has tied the school record of10.8 seconds in the 100 meters. Gossettsaidhefinishedinthetopthreeofevery100- and 200-meter race he ran this thisseason leading into tournament action.

At the state meet June 7, Ronan fin-ished 12th with a school-record time of10.78.

“It’s nuts,” Ronan said. “Last year Iwas cut short (from state). This year Ifeel like Iwasmore prepared. Imade ithere for a reason. My expectations arebig.

“I know it’s the best runners in thestate. It’s just a complete shock to betherewith them.Lookingat their times,I have great respect for all of (the com-petition).”

Gossett likes that about his seniorstar.

“Charlie is not somebody who looksat his competitors as somebody he hasto dominate,” he said. “He socializeswith the guys in the block. He’s friend-ly. He just quietly goes about his busi-ness.

“He can accelerate to his top speedprettyquickly.Thekeyforanysprinteris getting out of the blocks, then it’s justa matter of holding on and finishingstrong.”

Ronan - who is considering going toNorthern Kentucky University nextyear to study sports management witha business minor - took up track in sev-enth grade.

“My friends all knew Iwas fast and I

thoughtIshoulddosomething,”hesaid.“I wanted to see the best and wanted to(measure up against them). I like thefact that it’s a team sport, but it’s indi-vidual, too.You’reresponsible foryour-self.”

If he’s not necessarily responsiblefor his natural talent, Ronan has been agood steward of it.

“For themostpartyou’vegot tohaveit from birth,” Gossett said. “He’s beengiven qualities that allow him to com-

pete in these events, but he’s a very de-terminedkidandhe’sworkedhardwithhis gifts.

“As a coach you love to see a kid likethat competing at the highest level as asenior. It’s a a payoff for all the workhe’s put in.

“He’s very easy to work with. If hehas a question, he doesn’t hesitate toask. He has his head squarely on hisshoulders. He prepared very well.”

WALNUT HILLS — The best newsfor the Walnut Hills baseball pro-gram this spring was their was amix of experienced players andnewcomers who would improvethe team’s record dramatically.

The better news was the trans-ferofTristanBusick fromSt.Xavi-er to Walnut. Thanks to the multi-talented junior, the Eagles hadtheir best season since 2010. Aftertwo wins in 2011 and seven lastyear, coachDan Finley’s squad fin-ished 13-12.

In his first year onvarsity, Busi-ck hit .430 and drove in 23 runs on22 hits. On the mound, he had anearned run average of 0.41.

“He put up some ridiculousnumbers,”Finley said. “Hewas thethird-leading hitter in the confer-ence. Hewas one hit shy of leadingthe conference in hits. He had fivesavesandabunchof strikeouts.Healso played shortstop for us.”

Busick’s role as closer wassomething new at Walnut Hills.When you’ve only won nine gamesin the previous two seasons com-bined, there’s an obvious lack of“save opportunities.” The 2013 sea-sonwas awhole new adventure for

Eagles fans.“We thought we had a chance to

win some games, so we kind oflooked at him coming in late,” Fin-ley said. “He throws hard and hethrows strikes. He can throw hiscurveball prettymuchany timefora strike on any count.”

It was tough to take the slick-fieldingBusickout as shortstopev-ery third game, so he closed gamesinstead of starting. He had 21strikeouts in 17 innings.

“When we beat Milford at theirplace he closed that out,” Finleysaid. “He had a shoulder injury inour playoff game and we had totake him out in the fifth inning. Wewerewinning13-5 andweendeduplosing.”

For a guy that was on the St. XJV teamayear ago, itwas a terrificseason. He also could contribute totheWalnutHills football teamashewas a late arrival spending time asa receiver on the Eagles reservesquad.

Coach Finley eyed him in fall ashis son was the JV quarterback.

“I watched a lot him,” Finleysaid. “I think it was a matter thatthey didn’t know who he was. Hewasn’t at a lot of the offseasonstuff. He’s a pretty quiet guy.”

Quietly, Walnut Hills played arole in a competitive Eastern Cin-cinnati Conference. It was a topsy-turvy season, but notable winscame against Turpin, AndersonandMilford. Though they lose nineseniors, many Eagles will returnexperienced and confident.

“We have our No. 1 and No. 2pitcher returning,” Finley said.

ColeMurphyonly threwconfer-encegamesandMikeSeligawill beback as a four-year starter.

Somewhere right now anold woman with dementia issitting silently, head bowed,while her daughter yells andthreatens to punch her.

Somewhere a son is empty-ing his aged father’s savings

account.And some-

where anelderly widowwith depres-sion sits alonein a dirtyhouse, unfed,unwashed andunwilling tolet anyonehelp her.

Elderabuse is all

around us, but we’re rarelyaware of it. It usually goesunreported. The victims don’trally in the streets. Often,they’re afraid to let anyoneknow. It doesn’t get the atten-tion or funding of child abuseor other forms of domesticviolence.

But abuse, neglect andfinancial exploitation of theelderly cause immense suf-fering and they cost society interms of lost lives, stolen fi-nancial assets, medical ex-penses, and premature place-ments in institutions.

Last year in Ohio therewere 14,344 reports of elderabuse, neglect and exploita-tion. That number is badenough, but it represents afraction of the reality. Re-search suggests that only onein five elder abuse cases isever reported. Nationally, it isestimated that older adultslose $2.6 billion annually thatis essentially stolen fromthem by relatives, peopleworking for them, “friends”or scam artists. Financialexploitation in particular is onthe rise.

Prevention of elder abusebegins with increased aware-ness and advocacy for morejustice and protection forvictims.

June 15 is World ElderAbuse Awareness Day, a dayin which advocates, victims,and service providers willbring attention to the problemthrough rallies, memorialservices, conferences or bywearing purple, as our staffwill be doing. Greater aware-ness is important because itraises more voices to helpthose who have no voice.

There are also other waysto make a difference. Hereare a few:

At the federal level: Con-

tact your legislators aboutfunding for the Elder JusticeAct. This bipartisan legisla-tion was signed in 2010 but nofunds have been appropriated.Funding would support pro-tective services, awarenessefforts, professional training,and research.

At the state level: Contactyour legislators to support fullfunding of Adult ProtectiveServices across Ohio. Nearlyhalf of Ohio’s counties do nothave money for full time adultprotection workers. These aresocial workers who investi-

gate reports of abuse andarrange for protection, suchas home care services, legalassistance, or guardianship. Incounties that do have full timeworkers, there is sometimesonly one for the entire county.

In your community: reportsuspected abuse, neglect orexploitation to Adult Protec-tive Services for the countywhere you live. (Telephonenumbers at the end of thiscolumn)

In your neighborhood:Reach out to older adults whomay be lonely or struggling tostay independent in theirhomes. Simple acts of kind-ness like walking the dog,shoveling snow, or cutting thegrass can make a real differ-ence. Sometimes there is nofamily caregiver to help and,if there is, that caregiver maybe grateful for a helping hand.

To report suspected elderabuse (including an olderperson’s self-neglect), callyour county adult protectiveservices office. In HamiltonCounty, call 421-LIFE (5433)and in Clermont County call513-732-7173.

Suzanne Burke is the chief exec-utive officer of the Council on Agingof Southwestern Ohio.

Act right now to help end elder abuseMORE INFO ON TVThe CET program “Focus,”

with host Kathy Lehr, will air aprogram on elder abuse onFriday June 14, at 7:30 p.m. onChannel WPTO/THINK TV 14,and repeat on Sunday, June 16at 12:30 p.m. on CET 48.1.Guests are Laurie Petrie and

WHEN THEYMEET

We are in the midst ofbudget season at the State-house in Columbus.

After the House FinanceCommittee heard hours of

testimonyover the pasttwo monthsfrom variousstate agen-cies, interestgroups, andindividualswho travelledto the statehouse to pre-sent theirpoint of view,your Ohio

House of Representativesrecently passed House Bill59, the two-year operatingbudget for the state.

I appreciate the manyphone calls, letters andemails I received from peo-ple across the state regardingthe various issues consideredin the budget process.

You may recall that twoyears ago the state was fac-ing a structural imbalance inits financial outlook, andneeded to cut expendituresby approximately $8 billion inorder to have a balancedbudget. The cuts were verydifficult, and impacted al-most every aspect of stateexpenditures, but was acute-ly felt by schools and localgovernments.

Since that time, the state’seconomy has rebounded,large and small companiesare expanding and hiringmore people, and unemploy-ment is significantly lower.The recently passed budgetfurthers our efforts in Co-lumbus to continue progresson the road to economic re-covery and prosperity.

The budget originates withthe governor’s office, andwas delivered to the House ofRepresentatives in earlyFebruary. In addition to tradi-

tional forecasts of revenueand estimates of expendi-tures, the governor includedproposals for expanding salestax and the Medicaid pro-gram.

These proposals wereremoved from the budgetonce the House Finance Com-mittee made its first round ofchanges to the bill. A propos-al to change the way schoolsare funded by the state wasalso removed from the gover-nor’s proposed budget toallow further study.

As has been reported overthe past several weeks, amajor point of discussion inthe budget process was thegovernor’s proposal to ex-pand Medicaid. The uncer-tainty and unsustainability ofthis program, principallyfunded and directed by thefederal government, led to agreat deal concern about theproposed expansion.

While the proposed expan-

sion was removed from thebudget, local governmentswere provided additionalfunding to provide more men-tal health and addiction ser-vices. A lot more funding isneeded in this area, but wewant to make sure we pro-ceed in a fiscally responsiblemanner.

The budget bill now goesto the Senate for its consider-ation. The Senate will hearfrom and consider argumentsfrom many of the same pro-ponents and opponents ofvarious aspects of the bill.

The budget needs to beapproved by both houses andsigned by the governor by theend of June.

Please contact me if youwish to express your point ofview or if I can answer anyquestions. Thank you forallowing me to represent you.

Peter Stautberg represents the 27thOhio House District.

This year, grandsonWill came home with ateeny cabbage sproutfrom Bonnie Plants. Bon-nie Plants has a programthroughout the UnitedStates that gives third-graders a cabbage plant

to grow. Atthe end ofthe season,theirteachersends aphoto ofthe class’sbest plantas a stateentry. Theprize is$1,000

scholarship for the win-ner in each state.

Will is taking care ofhis cabbage in my gardenand, so far, his Bonniecabbage is larger than allof mine. This is a fun andeducational way to getkids interested in gar-dening and eatinghealthy.

It’s also the time ofyear I start getting re-quests for the cole slawsmade in local delis and areader favorite is Thrift-way’s slaw recipe. It wasgiven to me by a readerseveral years ago andremains in my recipe“hall of fame.” After Willsends his cabbage photoin, I’m going to teach himto make stuffed cabbagerolls and Aunt Becky’sslaw.

Aunt Becky’s(Thriftway) coleslaw

Depending upon how

much cabbage you have,you may not need all ofthe dressing. Add andtaste as you go along.Remember, the saladshould be dressed, notdrowned! The dressingkeeps well, covered for aweek or so in the refrig-erator and is delicious ona simple salad of leaflettuce and sliced toma-toes.

1head cabbage, shredded1 carrot, shredded2 tablespoons sugar orequivalent substitute

1 cup each: Hellman’smayonnaise andMarzettislaw dressing

Celery seed, salt and pepperto taste

Mix cabbage and car-rot. Blend sugar, mayo,dressing and seasonings.Pour over cabbage mix-ture and stir to mix.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Use a bag of cole slawmix instead of the cab-bage and carrot.

Classic strawberryjam

Daughters-in-lawJessie and Courtneycame over with their kidsto make strawberry jamfrom fresh picked ber-ries from A&M farms.Except for little Emer-son, who napped duringthe jammaking session,all four grandkidshelped. After they left,my neighbor Sandybrought her granddaugh-ter, Jalyse, over to makea batch. What a fun day!Check out my blog for

step-by-step photos. Us-ing local berries in sea-son gives the jam abright red hue and deli-cious berry flavor.

8 8 oz. canning jars with lids5 cups finely mashedstrawberries (we used thefood processor afterstemming the berries andwashing them. Mashingby handworks, too.)

11.75 oz. box regular

Sure-Jell fruit powderedfruit pectin (not low-sugarfruit pectin)

1 tablespoon fresh lemonjuice

7 cups sugar

Put canning jars indishwasher and keep hot,or sterilize clean jars inhot boiling water for 15minutes, again keepingjars hot. Keep lids andseals in simmering water.

Using a very large pan(I have a gargantuanjelly pan), pour in ber-ries, pectin and lemonjuice. Bring to a boil overhigh heat. Add sugar allat once. Stirring con-stantly, bring back to arolling boil over highheat. (You'll see big bub-bles over the entire sur-face of the jam and whenyou stir the bubbles willremain). At this time,

cook for 1minute. Becareful, as mixture willburn if not stirred contin-uously. If you’re nervousabout this, turn heat tomedium high. Pour intohot jars carefully, skimany foam off top, wiperims of jars with clean,wet cloth, and place lidsand seals on. Turn upsidedown for five minutes(this kills any bacterialingering on the insidelid). Turn right side upand let cool at room tem-perature. You’ll hear a“ping” when the seal iscomplete. The jam usu-ally jells within a coupleof hours, but sometimesit takes longer. If thereare any jars that do notseal completely (pressdown in the center of thelid and it should not popback up) store those inthe refrigerator. Store incupboard up to a year.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Sometimes instead ofturning the jars upsidedown, I’ll process them ina water bath for 5 min-utes after filling andsealing.

NEWTOWN — A smallchurch congregation ismakingabigdifference inthe community.

Newtown UnitedMethodist Church’s 105members raised morethan $15,000 this Lentenseason for the Inter Par-ish Ministry, their neigh-bor just streets away.

“The church’s roleshould be to help hungryand homeless people,”said the Rev. HowardPreston, pastor of thechurch that is celebrating200 years in a building on

Church Street and 215years of existence.

Chuck Swanson, man-ager of foodpantryopera-tions at Inter Parish Min-istry on Debolt Road, saidthe church has been verygenerous with the minis-try.

“Pastor Howard Pres-ton and the congregationofNewtownUnitedMeth-odist Church have provid-ed outstanding supportfor the mission of InterParish Ministry for manyyears,” Swanson said.

In addition to its Lent-en season donations,Swanson said, “Churchmembers volunteer towork in thepantry and formany of our specialevents.”

Newtown UnitedMethodist Church is cele-brating its anniversariesall year.

Achurchcookbookwillbe available in the fall andthe church’s new grandpipe organ will be in-stalled early in thewinter.

Newtown UnitedMethodist Church gave anod to its past onHeritageSundayMay 19.

The church was found-ed in 1798 and serviceswere conducted in mem-bers’ homes until theymoved into the church onChurchStreet,which theybuilt in 1813 and rebuilt in1867, said churchmemberand anniversary chair-woman Charlotte Aich-holz, of Union Township.

“The first buildingwasa stone meeting house,”

Aichholz said.“In 1867 the stones

from the original buildingwereusedtoconstruct thefirst floor of the presentchurch and a second floorwasadded todouble its ef-

ficiency.”Aichholz said the par-

sonage was built in 1895and that the flood of 1937shut down services forabout six weeks.

“Waters rose to theceiling of the first floorwhile everything wasmoved to the secondfloor,” Aichholz said.

“Town hall recordswere also moved to ourchurch.”

Aichholzsaid that from1951 to 1952, a new addi-tion to the rear of thechurch was added, con-sisting of one large room,two restrooms and a fur-nace room.

In1959, the second-sto-ry addition to the rear ofthe church was complet-ed, Aichholz said.

NEWTOWN — AlthoughCindy Olmes was initiallyhesitant, she decided 20years ago to open OlmesGalleryandFraming inanempty building in the vil-lage owned by a familyfriend.

Today, she couldn’t bemore pleased with her lo-cation at 3511 Round Bot-tom Road in Newtown.

“I thought Newtownwasastrange locationandhad reservations,” saidOlmes, a 52-year-old An-derson Township residentwho is a businesswomanand an artist.

“As it turned out, New-town and I were and are aperfect fit,” Olmes said.

“I love the smallnessand quaint feeling of thiscommunity.

“I’m so at home here Ican’t imagine being in astrip-mall location,”Olmes said.

The Newtown Busi-ness Association is proudof themixofbusinesses inthe village and encour-

ages new and relocatingbusinesses to explore theadvantages of operatingin Newtown, said TonyMuto, president of the as-sociation.

“It offers a business-friendly environment anda loyalbaseofcurrentandpotential customers fromnot only the village, butalso within the communi-ties surrounding the vil-lage,” Muto said.

Olmes does customframingatOlmesGallery,where she also paints andsells her paintings andprints of them.

She’s worked in oils,acrylics, pastels, mixedmedia and paper collage.

Olmes currently isworking on a series of oilpaintings with whimsicalanimal themes and clevertitles.

“After graduating

from theArtAcademy (ofCincinnati in Over-TheRhine) with a bachelor’sof fine arts I wanted tocontinue to work in thearts,” Olmes said.

“I enjoyed framingmyownartandfelt that Ididagood job finishing off mypaintings with just theright frame.

“Openingmy own shop

seemed like the perfectmarriage of my interestsand talents,” Olmes said.

Olmes said her galleryis the proverbial “littleshop around the corner.”

“I pride myself in pro-viding the best qualitycustom framing for mycustomers who refer meto everyone they knowand have been loyal to me

from the beginning,”Olmes said.

“I have watched theirchildren grow up over theyears and now frame forsecond-generation cus-tomers.”

Olmes believes it is im-portant for people to livewith art.

“Artwork enriches ourlives the sameway a good

meal, beautifulmusic or agreat sports game does,”Olmes said.

“It brings us joy, peaceand a different or betterunderstanding of ourworld.”

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS

ABOUT REAL ESTATE TRANSFERSInformation is provided as a public service by the

office of Hamilton County Auditor Dusty Rhodes.Neighborhood designations are approximate.

There’s no place likehome for Anderson Town-ship native textile design-er Susan Beresford,whose Cincinnati entre-preneurial roots rundeep.

She comes from a longhistory of Cincinnati-based, family owned busi-nesses.

Her father owns Be-resford Plumbing(www.beresfordcompa-ny.com), a company start-ed in 1919 by her great-grandfather.

Greiwe Interiors(www.greiweinte-riors.com) was started in1881 by another great-grandfather.

After stints in NewYork City and Los Ange-les, Beresford, who nowlives in Hyde Park, re-turned to Cincinnati in2011 to start SuZu De-signs, a textile design stu-dio that collaborates withclients like Kohl’s andElite Home Products to

understandwhat consum-ers want in their bed-roomsanddesignbeddingto meet these needs.

While she has had herdesigns in retailers suchas Macy’s, Kohls, Dil-lard’s, Stein Mart, andBed Bath & Beyond, Be-resford recentlylaunched her own luxurybedding line with duvetcovers.

A series of hand-drawn, whimsical wild-flowers – inspired by his-torical textiles with herown modern twist – areprinted on linens to createher first bedding product.TheSuZuduvet ismadeof100 percent organic cot-ton with a 525 threadcount.

“Mymother and fatherboth come from 100-year-old, Cincinnati-basedsmall businesses. It is inmy blood to carry on theleadership tradition,” Be-resford said.

“I have been planningmy bedding companyfrom the moment I tookmy first textile designclass at DAAP.

“After 10 years in thebedding industry, I knowthe level of excellence Iexpect in my product, inmydesignsand in thepeo-ple that bring it all to thecustomer.

“I wake up every dayloving what I am making,and that’s because I nowwake up everyday in myown bedding.”

Beresford received aMaster of Fine Arts in fi-bers from the SavannahCollege of Art and Designand received her Bache-lor of Fine Arts in three-dimensionaldesignandfi-bers at the University ofCincinnati’s College ofDesign, Art, Architec-ture, and Planning(DAAP).

After receiving herMFA,Beresfordmoved to

New York City where shegained experience as asenior bedding designer.

From there she movedtoWisconsin to work for amajor retailer as the sen-

ior creative designerwhere she managed asso-ciate designers and ledthe development of trendforecasting.

Beresford’s latest posi-tion as design managerforabeddingmanufactur-er in Los Angeles, she hadthe opportunity to travelinternationally for trendresearch, trade shows,and develop samples di-rectly in the factories.

She is currently a BadGirl Ventures finalist.

Bad Girls Ventures isan educational andmicro-finance organization ded-icated to inspiring andsupporting women entre-preneurs inall thekeyele-ments of their business.

Finalists get pairedwith a SCOREmentor andattend a nine-week busi-ness essential course onscholarship and competeagainst nine other wom-en-owned businesses towin a $25,000 loan.
