WASHINGTON — Thefts of air conditioners in Mount Wash- ington are heating up. Since May, parts from six air conditioning units in the area have been stolen. Det. Stephanie Bellamah with Cincinnati Police, District Two, said copper and air com- pressors were taken from the units. Five air conditioners were on business properties; one was in an apartment complex. However, Bellamah cau- tioned that an air conditioning unit in a residential area can just as easily be a target. “Generally, they can break one of these units down in about a minute,” she said. “Most of these crimes are driven by peo- ple trying to get money for drugs.” Bellamah said as a precau- tion, a special covering, almost like a cage, can be installed that that surrounds the air condi- tioner. Bellamah said these typ- coverings generally require special tools to try and get into. These cages can run from $600 to $800. However, Bella- mah said this is cheaper than having to replace an actual unit, which could cost several thou- sand dollars. Getting a covering may be a good precaution, she said. Bellamah said another crime which escalates during the sum- mer is the theft of outdoor equipment such as lawnmowers and leaf blowers.

Member and AndersonTownship AdministratorVicky Earhart.

That’s when the coali-tion turned to Duke Ener-gy and Asplundh TreeExpert Co. for help. As acommunity service pro-ject the two companiespartnered to remove thedead trees. High in theair and down on theground, Asplundh crewsstrategically droppedtrees making every ef-fort to avoid head stones.

“We’re surely gratefulthat Duke Energy andAsplundh have taken onthis task,” coalitionBoard Member DonBishop said. “We werechallenged to get itdone.”

Bishop who is also amember of the AndersonAmerican Legion Post

318 said that because ofthe large number of vet-erans buried in the ceme-tery spanning genera-tions from the Civil Warto Vietnam, the legionhas taken an interest inworking with the coali-tion in its efforts to carefor Hillcrest.

A few of years ago agroup of legionnairesworked to temporarilymove grave markers inpreparation for tree re-moval.

There’s a lot of historyin this cemetery, Bishopsaid. There are morethan 1,400 veterans bur-ied at Hillcrest. Manywere African-Americans;many were indigent.They have no families.No one to look after thecemetery.

“As a vet group, wefelt compelled to do whatwe can to help out,” hesaid.

Anderson TownshipTrustee President Russ

Jackson was a foundingmember and is boardpresident for the coali-tion. Despite limitedresources, the coalitionhas managed to workwith other groups andorganizations for restora-tion.

Hillcrest had falleninto disrepair as respon-sibility for its upkeepbecame clouded and theowners died. The coali-tion formed early in 2002and took over care of theprivately held cemetery.The years and neglecthad taken their toll. Lit-tle-by-little, throughcommunity partnershipsand donations, Jacksonsaid the coalition hasmade improvements. Therestoration effort beganearly with the help of theOhio Army NationalGuard. Guardsman camein to pull weeds, clearbrush, repair erosion,repair grave sites andreplace headstones.

Anderson High School

» Anderson High Schoolsenior Kelly Polacek is thisyear’s recipient of the WalterC. Comstock Memorial Schol-arship.

Polacek will attend IndianaState University, majoring inbiology. She wants to become amarine animal caretaker andresearcher. She volunteers atthe Ronald McDonald Houseand will be playing soccer forISU.

Since 2001, the Comstockfamily has offered a $1,000scholarship to train undergrad-uates in the discipline of sci-ence.

Walter Comstock was abiology teacher in the ForestHills School District and amember of the Anderson HillsUnited Methodist Church.

Saint Ursula Academy» Students at Saint Ursula

Academy are challenged tolive the mission of the schoolby becoming thinkers, leaders,prophets, and nurturers.

A recent conference held oncampus emphasized two ofthose roles, leader and proph-et, as local female role modelsspoke to students on the topic“Prophets Today – InspiringOthers to Make a Difference.”

One-hundred thirty sevenstudents participated in theannual Leadership Conference.

The conference was open to allSUA students and addressedtopics such as networking,lifelong learning, embracingconstructive criticism, andinnovative and creative prob-lem solving in the workplace.

The initial discussion, “Fol-low the Leader: You are theLeader!” was led by keynotespeaker Kathy McMahon-Klosterman, Eminent FacultyScholar for Community En-gagement & Service at MiamiUniversity. In this session,students examined the differ-ence between being a leaderand being “bossy,” women’sroles in leadership throughouthistory, and defined what“courage” means as it relatesto becoming a prophet.

Following the keynote ad-dress, students attendedbreak-out sessions with vari-ous female corporate and com-munity leaders and were chal-lenged to pursue their pas-sions, stand up for what theybelieve, and encourage othersto make a difference in theworld.

Assistant Principal of Stu-

dent Affairs Kate Durso wasinstrumental in planning thisyear’s conference and sees theimpact sessions such as thesecan have on students. “As aresult of this conference, stu-dents are more confident intheir abilities as leaders, moremotivated to get involved atSUA or in their community,and begin to develop the skillsnecessary to be an effectiveleader.”

Included in the presenterswere two Saint Ursula Acad-emy Alumnae who began theirjourney to become leaderswhile they were students at theschool.

Dr. Sheela Geraghty, med-ical director for the Center forBreastfeeding Medicine, Cin-cinnati Children’s HospitalMedical Center challengedstudents to always have a lovefor learning and embrace anyopportunity that would allowthem to become more educat-ed.

Claire Luby, program coor-dinator at St. Vincent de Paul,encouraged students to “usetheir incredible skills, knowl-

edge, passion and creativity tohelp communities become saf-er, healthier, happier, and morejust.”

» The National Honor Soci-ety met a school challenge to“build a better world” by build-ing birthday boxes for childrenin our area who may not havethe resources to have a birth-day party.

Each year the SUA NHSchooses a service project tobenefit a local non-profit agen-cy. For the 2015-2016 schoolyear, members decided to makebirthday boxes, consisting ofcake mix, icing, plates, napkins,and forks to donate to the Ron-

ald McDonald House, InterfaithHospitality Network, HomelessDay Shelter, Churches Activein Northside Pantry, GracePlace Shelter and the BethanyHouse Shelter in North Fair-mount.

Boxes were delivered to theagencies to be distributed tochildren on their birthdays. Thestudents hope these boxes willhelp children create birthdaymemories that they will cherishfor a lifetime.

The students participating inthis event were selected to bepart the NHS based on leader-ship activities and grade pointaverage.

Today really was a simple countrypleasures kind of day.

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

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

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

all the makings ready for this simplepizza.

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

Kids can make easysunflower pizza

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

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

onions, etc.

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

Mediterranean chicken with orange marmaladesauce

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

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

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

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

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

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

Blend together:

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

tomatoes

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

A publication of

Recently, I was surprised atthe number of Dayton resi-dents who brought their familyto our much vaunted, beautifulCincinnati Zoo.

This is not an inexpensiveundertaking for a family offour. How would you like anopportunity to keep the chil-dren fascinated and adultsprovided with learning oppor-tunities about history, engi-neering and American servicein the world? If I said that itwould cost the gasoline re-quired to drive to Dayton, havefree admission, free parkingand free picnic facilities andbe impossible to totally view inone day, would I get your atten-tion?

The National Museum of the

Air Force, 1100Spaatz St. (foryour GPS),Dayton, Ohio,is just such aplace. Thoughthe largestmilitary avia-tion museum inthe world, themany acresunder roof and

the surrounding green spacealso have art exhibits, a Holo-caust exhibit, a Hall of Fame,and a Memorial Park for in-door and outdoor pleasures. Itis immense, but a quick plan-ning session at www.nation-almuseum.af.mil, can makeany trip (there will probably berepeat visits) less overwhelm-

ing.Oh, did I mention there are

strollers, wheelchairs, andpower carts available at nocharge in each gallery? From 9a.m. to 5 p.m. every day, exceptthree in the year, the museumplans to be open. On rainydays, days with no picnic, ormoments of needed refresh-ment, there is a full servicecafeteria. With the currentconstruction of the new, fourthbuilding, certain exhibits areasmay be restricted. This is an-other reason to check the web-site.

More than 550 volunteersreally enjoy the opportunity tomake certain the more than 1million annual visitors have agood time. The Air Force pro-

vides for utilities and security,and federal employees createexhibits, restore aircraft, man-age the collection and planeducational and entertainingspecial events.

The Air Force MuseumFoundation raises capital forMuseum expansion through itscafe, theater, gift shop andeven flight simulators (yes,you too, can go inverted). Overthe years, the visits to the“Friends” desk in the mainlobby, have inspired many nonmilitary individuals and busi-ness sponsors to join the hun-dreds who proudly claim to be“Friends of the Museum.”

Ohio pride in our manyattractions grows, when we seethe number of visitors from

every state and every country,who make this a “destinationvenue”. When I see visitors inthe galleries, I sometimesthink that more people in Ger-many and China are aware ofthis Museum than our ownTristate.

If you have further ques-tions or would like to bring anentire group to the museum,the website will provide thecontact numbers and the re-quirements. To my knowledge,no one has ever asked for anadmission refund, becausethey thought the visit unfulfill-ing. Go East Side and enjoy!

EastSiders: Here’s an idea for a summer day

Don BrownCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Apostle Paul finds himself inprison and is being treated as if heis one of Rome’s most notoriouscriminals.

He is truly suffering, physically.But even though he is in prison andin shackles, he is confident in theLord, and rejoices at the thoughtthat even though he may be restrict-ed at this point, he knows God’sWord is not bound.

He says emphatically in 2 Timo-thy 2:9, “Wherein I suffer trouble,as an evil doer, even unto bonds; butthe Word of God is not bound.” No-tice how Paul even in this incarcer-ated state was in good spirits. Be-cause Paul’s mind was not bound,nor his tongue, nor his pen. Paulgoes on to say that even though I ampresently suffering, I choose not tomerely suffer passively, but Ichoose to actively endure any andall afflictions for the Gospel’s sake-…for the sake of future believers.

Paul knows the power of theGospel, and how it has radicallychanged his life, as well as his eter-nal destiny. Remember, he oncepersecuted the church of God. Sonow he is more than willing to suf-fer so others might come to a savingknowledge of Jesus Christ. And asChristians of the same Lord, weneed to be willing to suffer as wellin order that others might be saved.The Word must go forth. This samepurpose and desire was the soulobject of our Lord Jesus Christ, whoultimately laid down his life to re-deem us back to the Father. OurLord has suffered as no one everhas, because He would rather diethan to live without us.

Folks, negativelife experiences canbe used by God tohelp prepare us forour ministry, asoftentimes it is thepainful experiencesin life that have thegreatest impact onshaping our charac-ter. But it is how werespond to these

things in our life that make the dif-ference. Apostle Paul understoodthis concept very well. How manyof us would suffer persecution will-ingly for the Word of God, and thenrejoice?

And while we may be limitedphysically, our God has no suchlimitations; no boundaries; no re-strictions of any kind. The Romanscould put Paul in prison and inchains. But they couldn’t put God’sWord in shackles. They couldn’t stopGod’s Word.

Folks, whether we serve God ornot; whether we are faithful or not,God’s Word is going to prosper.God’s plan and purpose for the re-demption of mankind will still goforth with us or without us. Isaiah55:11, “So shall My Word be thatgoeth out of my mouth: it shall notreturn unto Me void, but it shallaccomplish that which I please, andit shall prosper in the thing wheretoI sent it.” His Word will not comeback to Him without success. God’sWord is not bound, and never willbe.

Ben Hurst is the pastor at Northside Bap-tist Church in Bethel.

Is God’s Word restricted?

Ben HurstCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

June 10 questionWhat should Cincinnati city leaders and

residents do to curtail the recent trends ofgun-related crimes in the city?

“Well it’s like the NRA always says,‘An armed society is a polite society,’ andright now I think that philosophy needsto be put in place.

“Instead of doing the typical middle ofthe road, liberal, ‘gun buyback’ pro-grams, I think council needs to look to doa gun distribution program to all thecitizens of Cincinnati. I know back-ground checks are anathema to the NRAand GOP, so I’d say push those aside andfigure a small segment of the populationmay get guns that shouldn’t have them.

“However if we can arm the rest ofthe citizens, they can then be there tohelp curtail and eliminate these gun-related crimes and criminal elementsthat are on the loose.

“Also with the All-Star Game comingup, this strategy will make out of townfolks feel safer, knowing that a largesegment of the population is carryingand ready to defend not only their ownGod given rights but also those of our outof town guests.”

C.S.

“Though stop and frisk got a bad namein New York, it certainly found a lot ofnon-law abiding citizens with guns. Toemphasize our intent to enforce the ex-isting laws, there must be clearly un-derstood consequences for anyone usinga gun in the commission of a crime. Ibelieve it would be more correct to referto recent trends of people-relatedcrimes. Perhaps, there should be moreactivity on the part of community mem-

bers to control those people.”D.B.

“It is time for the Cincinnati leaders totalk with past leaders with proven rec-ords of reducing murder rates, like per-haps the guys in NYC that made suchdrastic changes in that murder capitalback in the ‘90s. Probably best if theyavoid chats with the folks in Ferguson orBaltimore though. That was most defi-nitely not the way to go. We can do better,but we sure as heck better hurry up be-cause the summer is just going to gethotter.”

M.J.F.

“Cincinnati has now hired two policechiefs from outside the city. The sad partis Cincinnati had a qualified in-housecandidate better suited to the task (assis-tant chief Paul Humphries). The firstchief they hired (Craig) could not passthe Ohio State police exam and the sec-ond one has failed to pass muster (Black-well). Maybe it is time to hire someonewho knows the city. That would be my90-day plan. Go figure!”

Golden mattress for Jackson I noted from the signs that a group

from Turpin High School was sellingmattresses on Saturday, June 13.

I certainly hope they sold a lot. Wonder how many mattress sales it

takes to recoup the $283K charitablygiven to ex-Superintendent Jackson?

Don Bates Anderson Township

What is FHSD really teachingstudents?

After reading the front page of theForest Hills Journal, I was astounded bythe $283,000 Dallas Jackson will receive.

Dallas Jackson shouldn’t get any sep-aration money, and the Forest Hill SchoolDistrict should apply his payout towardsthe newly approved school levy for build-ing improvements. I also say that in ev-ery employee’s contract it should statethat if you conduct yourself in an un-ethical or immoral way in regards toyour FHSD employment you don’t get

any separation money. So what really is the FHSD teaching

students, it’s this – you’ll get rewarded ifyou get caught doing wrong.

Connie Chandler Anderson Township

Superintendent gets $283,000 payoutto be a consultant.

I hope our esteemed Forest Hills LocalSchool District Board has the foresight tobe sure Dallas Jackson has a busy sum-mer. I would expect him to wash and waxall the buses. Dallas should be paintingall the classrooms along with polishingthe floors.

At those generous fees, he should havea very busy time until his debt to thecommunity is paid off. It is apparent byhis greed that he definitely did not puthis school district first.

Way to look out for the kids of thisdistrict first Dallas. The district has tak-en a dramatic step backwards thanks tothe poor management by one DallasJackson.

SIDELINES

KeShawn Foley had one recep-tion in his four-year football ca-reer at Batavia High School. Justone, back freshman year.

Well, make that career totaleight after June 11 – unofficiallyat least.

The former Batavia starcaught seven passes for 149 yardsand three touchdowns to help leadthe East All-Stars to a 40-20 winagainst the West in the 40th annu-al Southwestern Ohio FootballCoaches Association Ron WoyanEast-West All-Star football game,Thursday, at Kings High School.

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

Foley racked up more than 100touchdowns passing and rushingin a stellar, three-time all-confer-ence career at Batavia … as aquarterback. No receiving touch-downs. Thursday night, though,he lined up wide as a receivermore often than not and lookedlike a seasoned vet.

“It was pretty easy,” said the 6-foot-3, 225-pound Foley, who add-ed that he plans to play quarter-back this fall at Hocking College.“I love playing wide receiver. It’slike backyard football.”

Milford quarterback DrewAshcraft helped make it easy. Fo-ley was on the receiving end of a36-yard pass from Ashcraft on theEast’s first possession, setting upa Ryan Wahler (Sycamore) touch-down reception.

Ashcraft found Foley again onthe next possession deep down theleft side for a 27-yard touchdownpass.

Withrow QB Tra’Von Barnesthrew a 35-yard TD strike to Fo-ley in the second quarter to putthe East up 19-6.

The East passing attack was ontarget all night with receivers Fo-ley, Wahler, Doryan Beach (With-row) and Reid Finley (WalnutHills) consistently making greatadjustments while the ball was inthe air. Wahler totaled 102 yardson four catches.

Ashcraft, separated by 223days from his Milford squad’s2014 season-ending win againstLoveland, looked in midseasonform, completing 8 of 14 passesfor 183 yards and the two touch-downs in the first quarter.

“It’s a good feeling,” Ashcraftsaid. “You miss it a lot. You don’treally know how much you miss ituntil after you strap on your padsthat last time.”

He finished with 366 passingyards and five touchdowns, both

new all-star game records. “It means a lot, actually,” Ash-

craft said. “Because I’ve beenworking my (butt) off trying toget to this game.”

Diving interceptions by AsaPalmer (Wyoming) and KiowaWhaley (North College Hill)helped the West defense slow theEast passing game in the thirdquarter.

Mount Healthy running backHjavier Pitts cashed in the Palm-er pick with a 1-yard touchdownrun to cut the deficit to 19-12, butthe West stars could never get thelead.

Edgewood quarterback TraceReynolds threw touchdownpasses to Pitts and Fred Riley(Fairfield) to lead the West of-fense.

The East stars outgained West458 to 206 in total yardage. T.J.Beach (Amelia) led the East de-fense with five tackles, two forloss.

The win marked the East’seighth in the last nine years. TheEast leads the series 22-18.

Library location.Summer Reading is

part of the Library’scomprehensive SummerLearning program whichincludes Brain Campsand Summer Lunches tocombine reading, one-on-one instruction and nutri-tion. This innovativeapproach aims to educatethe whole child and pro-mote lifelong learningfor adults.

The Library is also inits second year of a part-nership with the SummerCamp Reading, whichpairs at-risk studentswith specialized teachersfor one-on-one instruc-tion. Children selected

Thousands of adults,teens and kids have achance to earn prizes bybecoming an All-StarReader at the PublicLibrary of Cincinnati andHamilton County.

This year, the Libraryis making it easier thanever to participate in theprogram, which has been

a part of summer at theLibrary for more than 40years.

Readers can get start-ed at cincinnatilibrary.org. The site includesa reading tracker, a listof all the available prizesand reading recommen-dations for all ages.

Then, from now until

July 31, participantssimply keep track of allthe reading they do. Mag-azines, newspapers, text-books, eBooks, eAudio-books, and reading aloudto a child all count to-ward the reading total.Readers can collect priz-es for each level theycomplete by visiting any

for this program by theirschool district will cometo one of seven branchlibraries for six weeks ofintensive reading study.

“I saw an excitementfor reading developingespecially from some ofthe reluctant readers,”said Denise Bentley,intervention specialistfor Cincinnati PublicSchools, who worked at aSummer Camp Readinglocation in 2014. “Theywill just blossom withtheir reading skills andtheir love of reading.”

However familieschoose to participate inSummer Learning, it’sespecially important for

children to read over thesummer. While it’s greatto slide into home plateduring a baseball game,it’s not so great whenkids hit the “summerslide” and lose up to twomonths of reading andmath skills.
