“The Pirates of Pen-zance” will dock at Indi-an Hill High School laterthis month.

The Indian Hill HighSchool Theatre will pre-sent theGilbertandSulli-van opera 7:30 p.m.Thursday through Satur-day, Feb. 21-23, at 6865Drake Road. A matineeperformance will also beat 2 p.m. Saturday.

“We’re excited thisyear because we have afull orchestra of 27 stu-dents,” said theater di-rector Lisa Harris. “It’sbeen several years sincewe’ve had a full orches-tra.”

Harris said the or-chestra will consist ofstrings, brass and timpa-ni.

She said the produc-

tion has also been updat-ed. “We’re taking a moremodern approach thistime,” she said, addingthat the music is morecontemporary.

Harris described“The Pirates of Pen-zance” as an operettawith less formality thansome of the traditionaloperas. It’s an opera withhumor and comedy,which should make it ap-pealing to younger audi-ences, she said.

Additionally, this par-ticular production has

more seniors involvedthan some of the previ-ous ones, according toHarris.

Among the partici-pants are senior HughStrike, of Symmes Town-ship, who will play therole of pirate apprenticeFrederic.

Strike has been in-volved with the theaterprogram since the fifthgrade.

He estimates he hashad a family member orrelative involved in anIndian Hill High Schoolproduction for nearly 25years.

“I think any show youdomeans a lot to you,” hesaid. “It’s very valuable.”

Tickets are $12 adults,$10 students 18 and un-der.

“Aswell, there is the is-sue of service delivery tothe entire district.

“This is particularlyimportant relative to thelocation of the station(s)because of the impact onresponse times through-out the district,” Moellersaid.

“The district is 20-plus

square miles so locationplays heavily into the de-cision-making process.”

Meanwhile, Madeiraand Indian Hill will paythe Madeira & Indian HillJoint Fire District up to$1.51 million for fire andparamedic services thisyear.

Indian Hill paid thejoint firedistrict$1.54mil-lion in 2012.

The fees assessed Indi-an Hill and Madeira willbe reduced by insurance

payments for ambulanceservice later.

“We receive reim-bursements for emergen-cy medical services runsfrom insurance pay-ments, however,wedonotknow(theamountof reim-bursements) until they ac-tually happen,” said DinaMinneci, IndianHill’s citymanager.

The Madeira & IndianHill Joint Fire Districtalso recently increasedthe ambulance and emer-gency medical servicesfees, but residents in Indi-an Hill and Madeira willnot pay a pennymore.

That’s because resi-dents will not be asked topaymore than their insur-ance covers, a policy thathas been in place since2005, Ashbrock said.

Billing rates for:»Basic life-support

services will increasefrom $400 to $500 per run.

»More advanced life-support services will in-crease from $600 to $700.

Indian Hill pupils take a trial runIndian Hill Middle

School eighth-graders aregoing to court.

For the 10th consecu-tiveyear, the studentswillstage a mock trial as partof anEnglish class assign-ment.

The topics range froma doctor’s negligence intreating a child to spousalabuse.

Several differentcourtroom scenarios areplanned, but all of themrelate in some way JohnSteinbeck’s novella “ThePearl.”

The cases were devel-oped from situations aris-ing in the book, which de-tails how a Mexican fish-erman’s life changed af-ter finding a large pearl.

The students will playthe roles of prosecutingand defense attorneys aswell as witnesses.

“What isnicedoing thisat the eighth-grade levelis the high school has amock trial team,” saidEnglish teacher ToniRoark. “(This mock trial)

piques their interest iftheywant topursue thisatthe high school level.

Roark said the experi-ence also helps the stu-dents improve their skillsinpersuasivewriting. Pri-or to the mock trial, the

students had to preparean essay relating to theircase.

English teacher JulieRyan said the students en-joy the opportunity to ex-plore a judicial environ-ment. “They are more en-

thusiastic because of itsreal-world application,”she said.

Eighth-grader MrinalSingh, of Montgomery,who will be playing therole of a rebuttal lawyer,said he gained a few tips

from a relative of his whois a lawyer.

“I haven’t counted outlaw as a career,” he said.

Eighth-grader Bren-dan Ho, of Kenwood, saidhewas looking forward tothe courtroom experi-

ence.“You have to be quick-

thinking,” said Ho, whowill also be playing a re-buttal lawyer. “Personal-ly, I like the lawyer aspect(of it) andhowit simulatesan actual trial.”

The Indian Hill HighSchool mock trial teamhad a successful day incourt.

They recently placedfirst in district competi-tion.

This is the team’s sixthdistrict championshipsince 2003, and accordingto StephenReger, instruc-tor and head coach, a ma-jor accomplishment.

It is the most districtchampionships in thattime frame in the state, hesaid.

The team,which is des-ignated as “The Red

Team,” will now proceedto regional and state com-petitions. The team wonlast year’s state champi-onship.

“I like to argue,” jokedteam captain Aaron Hall,a senior and resident ofKenwood, about his in-volvement with the mocktrial team.

Each team is given anopportunity to play boththe role of prosecutionand defense.

This particular case in-volves a a 15-year-oldteen’s confession of arsonand whether police co-erced the confession, saidteam captain Reagan Wil-kins, a senior from Indian

Hill.“I just like the chal-

lenge of it,” said Wilkinsabout her participation inmock trial competition.

Students on the teamalso play the role of wit-nesses.

Senior Julia Horst, ofKenwood, won a best wit-ness award in state com-petition last year.

“It givesmea reason toexplore an area Iwouldn’tnecessarily pursue on myown,”saidHorstabout thedifferent topics the casesinvolve.

Senior Laurin Schwab,of Indian Hill, said she iscontinuing a traditionwith her involvement on

the team.Both her brother and

sister have been on previ-ous mock trial teams atthe school.

“We call it the ‘Schwabdynasty,’” she said.

Schwab, who is also ateam captain, said she en-joys the thrill of competi-tion.

The students demonstratedeasy food preparation tips forcollege students.

It was similar to a cookingshow, said Pat Pritz, a familyand consumer science teacherat the school who teaches theclass.

Pritz said the class providesstudents with information onhow to prepare for college andthen a career.

A portion of the class includ-

ed tips on meal preparation forcollege students and choosingmeals which are fast, afford-able and healthy.

Pearson thought the infor-mation would be valuable toother students, especiallygraduating seniors, and sug-gested submitting the idea toBravesBeat for one of theirsegments.

The students were thenfilmed for an upcoming broad-cast. They prepared a break-fast burrito, a pizza ring andscrambled eggs in a cup.

Senior Alex Misali, of Ken-wood, who was shown prepar-ing taco soup, said he hoped theinformation would be benefi-cial.

“People will get to see howfast and easy is is to make thisfood,” he said.

LOCKLAND — When Cincin-natiCountryDaycoachHowardBrownstein took his first teach-ingjobatShroderin1973,hehadno intention of becoming coach.

“I didn’t think I’d be doing itthis long,” said Brownstein,who’s in his 28th season coach-ingtheIndians. “It’s just fun. It’sthe best thing I do. I like teach-ing math, but coaching is just areal passion.”

The victory also securedCCD(16-6, 9-4) theMiamiValleyConference Gray Divisionchampionship.

CCD sophomore WyattFletcher led the team with 17points.

TheIndiansstartedthegameoff tight, according to Brown-stein,butendedthehalfona12-0run.

Fletcher said everyone onthe Indians knew what was atstake.

“We were playing for his500th win and our league cham-pionship,” he said. “It’s amazingbecause he’s been coaching forso long and to be a part of thiswin, it’s such a big deal.”

While at Country Day,Brownstein’s teamshavewon10sectional titles, three district ti-tles and a regional title. Hecoached the1992 team to theDi-vision IV state final four.

My brightest friend, was achemist for 48 years. Histhinking was international, ashe had lived in Europe, devel-oping chemicals for a numberof glass manufacturers.

He was 30 years my senior,and a great mentor and teach-er. Everything in his life wascarefully planned; but that wasthe result of his background asa chemist. He maintained alarge garden, one might say a‘Victory Garden’; he loved tocook and teach cooking. Heand his wife took the fullcourse at the ‘Culinary In-stitute’ in NYC.

It was a culinary delight tovisit with him; and, you alwayslearned at least three newuseful things, each in a differ-

ent field. Heformed analliance with amanufacturerof cookingutensils, show-ing them howto make thembetter, withoutadding cost. Inturn, theylavished himwith their

latest equipment, for his re-view.

Chain smoking finally gothim and Jack died at age 84 ofa heart attack. One-monthprior to his death he called allof his close friends to ask if hecould visit. He and his wifetossed their luggage into his

new Honda Civic and theydrove from North Carolina toNew York, to Cleveland, thenon to Michigan; they stoppedto visit with us on their returnhome. His mind was sharpuntil the day he died.

If your computer is workingproperly, one can be produc-tive well into their 90s. I hadtwo aunts who lived beyond100; one had very high scoreson her written and drivingtest, at 96. Both were rela-tively self-sufficient until thelast year of their lives. That’sonly 1 percent downtime. OK-…that may be a stretch…theyhad extended family thatdropped in to offer their ser-vices.

The field of medicine

known as orthopaedics hasallowed those formerly con-fined to a wheelchair, or bed,the ability to walk again. It hasenabled them to once againcare for themselves, drive,shop, baby-sit the grandchil-dren or great-grandchildren,do laundry, garden, maintainthe house, etc., etc. you get thepoint.

Medical efficiency has im-proved; costs are comingdown. Much of this is, and will,be due to the computerizationof hospitals, instant staff com-munications, and newer surgi-cal procedures that have beenintroduced. It is my opinionthat this is without the help ofthe AMA and FDA. ‘THEPRACTICE OF MEDICINE’

must be returned to the doc-tors.

Several weeks ago, I report-ed on my total hip replacementvia the ‘Anterior Approach.’ Ireiterate, if you know anyonewho needs hip replacement,this is the only procedure tohave. This is one procedurethat has made this surgeryless expensive and offered themaximum patient outcomefrom the day after surgery.Ironically, this procedure hasbeen in practice in Europe for40 years. Why were we notallowed to have it? Surgery isless than an hour, pain levelsare low.

March is colon cancerawareness month.

Colon cancer is the thirdmost common cancer in theU.S. and about 55,000 Amer-icans will die from coloncancer each year. Up to 6percent will develop coloncancer in their lifetime. Itaffects all races and is equalin women and men, occurringmore frequently after age 50.

People athigher riskinclude thosewith a familyhistory coloncancer orpolyps (espe-cially if lessthan age 60 attime of diag-nosis), familyhistory ofother cancers(uterus, ova-ry, and kid-

ney), personal history of ul-cerative colitis, Crohns dis-ease, diabetes or obesity.

Colon cancer tends to de-velop slowly over years assome polyps (growths in thecolon lining) may becomecancerous. If polyps are re-moved early, colon cancercan be prevented. Symptomsmay occur later when thedisease is more advanced andmay include: change in bowelhabits, frequent constipationor diarrhea, rectal bleeding,unexplained weight loss oranemia, abdominal discom-fort or bloating.

Many other conditionscould cause these samesymptoms and should bediscussed with your physi-cian.

Lifestyle modification andscreening can reduce the riskof colon cancer. Maintainingan ideal body weight, regularexercise, smoking cessation,decreasing red meat andincreasing vegetable andfruit consumption can behelpful.

Proper screening can sig-nificantly reduce the risk ofcolon cancer by up to 90 per-cent. Unfortunately, onlyabout 50 percent of Amer-icans have been screened.Several screening options areavailable and many are cov-ered byMedicare and majorinsurance carriers.

A full colonoscopy is themost complete examination

and the only method thatsimultaneously allows forremoval of polyps during theprocedure. Testing stool forhidden blood, flexible sig-moidoscopy and barium en-emamay be useful,but arenot as accurate in detectingpolyps or cancer as colonos-copy.

CT colonography (a spe-cialized CT scan) or testingstool for genetic abnormal-ities are possible futurescreening options but are notcovered by some insuranceplans or as widely availableat the present time. If ab-normalities where found, acolonoscopy would be neededto further evaluate.

Several medical organiza-tions recommend a screeningcolonoscopy for average riskpatients every 10 years begin-ning at age 50. If polyps arefound, follow-up intervalsmay be shorter than 10 years.Higher risk patients mayneed to be screened earlier atage 40 or 10 years earlierthan the youngest familymember was diagnosed withcolon cancer.

The American College ofGastroenterology recom-mends African-Americans ofaverage risk start screeningat age 45.

Colonoscopy is consideredthe best screening test whenperformed by a qualifiedphysician. It is safe and seda-tion used during the proce-dure makes it comfortablefor the vast majority of pa-tients. Newer bowel prep-aration done to cleanse thecolon use smaller volumes oflaxatives and are commonlysplit into two doses to im-prove the process. Expertambulatory outpatient cen-ters follow strict quality andsafety guidelines.

Colon cancer is a prevent-able disease. Screening andearly detection can signifi-cantly reduce the risk ofcolon cancer and needs to bedone even when no symptomsare present. It is important tobe screened and to encouragefamily and friends as well, itcould save your or a lovedone's life.

Last week’s questionWill you miss U.S. Postal Ser-

vice mail delivery on Saturdays?Why or why not?

“Yes, to some extent, butpostal mail is not like it waswhenIwasayoungstergrowingup. Back in that time, the mail-man delivered our mail twice aday!

“Today, virtually all of themail we get are requests for do-nations to charity and ads, andoccasional greeting cards. (I'vereceived over 650mailed solici-tations in the past year askingfor money – all worthy causes,too, but I can't give to all ofthem.)

“I have a sister and nephewwith whom I communicate fair-ly regularly through thepost of-fice, but I doubt that many peo-ple do this any more. It seemsobvious that many people havestopped using the mail and re-placed it with Internet usage, topay bills, to communicate witheach other, etc.

“It is amazing tome that giv-en the huge deficits the post of-fice has incurred in recentyears it is still in existence. Onething theymight have tried ear-lier is to raise the first-classpostage rate in a meaningfulway, not 1 or 2 cents. But thatwould have only been a tempor-ary measure.

“The days of the post officeare numbered.”

Bill B.

“I depend heavily on USPSPriority Mail Service in my taxbusiness, but nobody who usesthese services expects deliveryfaster than a few days.

“There is no delivery on Sun-day and eliminating Saturdaysis no big deal. UPS and FEDEXdo not deliver on Saturdays?

“Most of what comes in themail thesedays is junk thatgoesstraight to the recycle bin. Ifyouwant it fast, fax or scan andemail.”

F.S.D.

“Yes, IwillmissSaturdayde-livery. It has always been inter-esting to me that it was onlyever reported that it would beSaturday that would bedropped. So many businessesnow operate seven days/week,and folks have lamented thateven on Thanksgiving storeswere open, I wonder whyWednesdaywasn't considered.”

M.A.M.

“I will miss the Postal Ser-vice delivery on Saturdays.

“Often I'll sit outside on my

veranda here in Indian Hill andhope that the postman is deli-vering the latest issue of somemagazine I enjoy likeMaxim orPlayboy.

“I can then sit back have afew martinis and just enjoy myjust-delivered magazines forSaturday and on Sunday afterchurch.

“That won't happen now,since I don't have that time dur-ing the week to just kick backduring the day, due to work.”

I.P.

“I think residential custom-ers could probably live with aMonday,Wednesday, Friday de-livery service. Evenwith smartcuts in service it's doubtful thattheU.S.Postal Servicecouldop-erate in theblack.Beingaquasi-government entity, operating abusiness will always be prob-lematic for them.”

D.J.H.

“Absolutelynot. I've said thistimeand timeagain, if theUSPSwants to cut costs, eliminate theSaturday mail.

“What is so important for thenormalhousehold thatyoumustget mail on Saturday that can-not wait until Monday?

“Almost all major officesand corporations are closed onweekends, retail is open week-ends, but what is sent out on aSaturday unless it is somethingthat someones life depends on.”

O.H.R.

“I've thought for quite sometime thatSaturdaydeliverywasunnecessary. But the real prob-lemwith the financeproblemofthe Postal Service is the unbe-lievable retirement benefits.The postal service is supposedto be self sufficent, but the real-ity is thatwe, the taxpayers, arepaying for an outdated system.

"Email and all of the otherelectronic devices have takenover.This isnot the19thcenturyany more. They need to getcaught up with the technology.

“Truthfully, most of my mailis junk mail. THAT I can dowithout!”

J.K.

“To me, Saturday delivery isno big issue. I often said overthe past several years that thePostal Service shouldmakema-jor adjustments in their deliv-ery service.

“I do feel that businessesshould have full five-day ser-vice, whereas residential couldget by on alternating two-dayservice. I would have no prob-lem with deliveries being madeon Monday/Thursday or Tues-day/Friday with all areas of thepostal district being dividedinto sections.

“I also feel that small busi-nesses, within a certain radialarea of the post office, shouldhave a area to pick up theirmailand eliminate service jeeps toeach individual small business(excluding from this large-vol-ume delivery businesses ).

“I realize the hardship thatthe postal union would gothrough and that individualsand businesses would have tomake adjustments, but look atthebillionsofdollars thatwouldbe saved each year.

“Oh yes, I didmention this toan employee years ago and shesaid the union would not standfor this type of adjustments.”

THINGS TO DO IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Greasers. Poodle Skirts. 1950s Rock'n Roll. Hot Rods. Must be "Schmaltz-The Musical,” aPurim-based take-off on "Grease.” The joint production between Congregation OhavShalom in Sycamore Township and Northern Hills Synagogue in Deerfield Township has anarray of talent to put their distinctive stamp on this play. Taking place on Feb. 23 atCongregation Ohav Shalom, this one night only event falls on Purim, a Jewish holidayrecorded in the Book of Esther. The evening starts at 7:15 p.m. for services and therecounting of the Purim story, known as the Megillah reading. Afterwards, a1950s-inspired dinner will be served, including homemade hamentashen-a Purimpastry-for dessert. And then the play begins, which tells the story of Purim loosely linkedto the music from Grease. Chava Vidal, Programming Chairperson for Congregation OhavShalom, and the play's director, said, "Schmaltz is an original 50s style Yiddishinterpretation of Purim. Instead of characters such as Danny the greaser, and Sandy, ourplay has Esther and Haman, key players in the Purim story." The original script was createdby Chaya Vidal, mother of Chava. Schmaltz is one of several original musicals Chaya haswritten for synagogues across the country. 1950s-style attire is encouraged. The dinner is$15 per person for adults and $6 per child ages 12 and under. A cash bar will be available.Contact 485-9139, or visit ohavshalom.org or nhs-cba.org. Space is limited. THANKS TO ANN

Yesterday, grand-daughter Eva and Ishared a simple countrypleasure. We went for awalk downmy path thatleads to the East ForkRiver. She wanted to see

if the wa-tercresswas grow-ing in ourlittlespring-fedpool alongthe pathand if the“Eastergrass”(wild on-ions) was

up yet. Well, no water-cress for our salad, butthe wild onions weregrowing in little patchesalong an old stone wall.

There was a bonus,too: Wild yellow aconitewas poking through lay-ers of fallen leaves andsnow all over the hill.What a surprise that was.I think this is the earliestyet that I’ve seen both ofthese harbingers ofspring. The aconite’sneon yellow petals lookdelicate but are sturdyenough to survive undera layer of snow. The flow-ers have a history, too.

Our friend Ike Leaf, ofblessed memory, tossedthe first handful of seedson top of the hill yearsago. “When they dropseeds, they’ll tumbledown the hill and eventu-ally cover it,” he said.And they have. Check outmy blog for a photo ofEva picking wild aconite.

Pesto stuffed porktenderloin

A recipe that garnersfans every time it’sserved. My friend, MaryLee Olinger, an AndersonTownship reader, firstshared this with me awhile back. She had eat-en this stuffed pork atthe home of her friend,

Mary AnnMyers. Mylatest version includesfresh parsley and Roma-no cheese. Make sure youuse pork tenderloin andnot the loin, because theloin won’t cook in thetime given. Check a fewminutes before it’s done –I roast my pork to 145 orso (see my tip below).Use ready-made pesto ormy homemade. Eventhough Easter is weeksaway, you might want tosave this recipe for East-er dinner, it’s that good.

2 pounds pork tenderloin,trimmed

Ready-made or homemadepesto

Romano cheese, grated (orParmesan)

Pine nutsButcher stringFresh chopped parsley andextra cheese for garnish

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Slice the tender-loin, lengthwise, not quiteall the way through.Spoon pesto until it fills(and overflows a bit) thecavity. Gently tie roast inthree places to keep ittogether. Place onsprayed baking pan.Sprinkle a good amountof cheese and nuts overroast. Bake until done(145 degrees). In my ovenit takes about 25-30 min-utes; it may take longerin yours. If the pine nutsstart to get too brown,tent meat with foil. Letrest about 10 minutes,tented with foil. Afterslicing, sprinkle withparsley and more cheese.This feeds four to fivepeople.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Nervous about porktemperature? The USDAsays 145 degrees is safe.After resting a fewmin-utes, the temperaturewill rise a few degrees,enough to kill any harm-

ful bacteria. The meatwill be juicy and maylook pink.

Rita’s pestoGo to taste on this.

3⁄4 to 1 teaspoon garlic,minced

2 tablespoons pine nuts2 tablespoons softenedbutter

2 cups basil leaves, packed1⁄2 cup Parmesan cheese1⁄4 cup Romano cheese (oruse all Parmesan)

Extra virgin olive oil: startwith 3 tablespoons and gofrom there

With a food proces-sor’s motor running, addgarlic and nuts. Addeverything else and proc-ess until smooth. Store inrefrigerator up to aweek. It may turn a bitdark on the top, but that’sOK. Some people pour athin layer of oil over thetop to prevent this. Storein freezer severalmonths, again pouring athin layer of oil on top toprevent darkening.

Readers want toknow

Dotting with butter.The dilemma fromMary-ann from Erlanger has istoo much butter landingon top of casseroles.“When a recipe says todot with butter, I alwayswind up with too much ontop,” she says.

Solution: Keep a stickof butter in freezer. Peelwrapper back to desiredamount. Use a vegetablepeeler to shave rightamount from frozenbutter, letting pieces fallonto food in thin curls.

When Chris Adamswalked into theHoxworthBlood Center the firstthing he said was “RotaryFoundation.”

Adams, of TerracePark, wasn’t lost. He wasdonatingblood in theHox-worth Bleed for a Causeeffort that will award$10,000 to the agency thatpulls in themost donors inits name.

“When you donate forthe Rotary Foundation,you are helping threeagencies – SteppingStones, the Autism Soci-ety and the Down Syn-

drome Association,” saidAdams, who is executivedirector of SteppingStones, which serves chil-dren and adults with dis-abilities, and also a Cin-cinnati Rotary member.

TheRotaryFoundationof Cincinnati is part of aspecial fundraisingeffortto support those threeagencies through its Be-lieve 2 Achieve auctionand dinner event on June8.

Last year that eventsplit close to $50,000among the threeagencies.

“We want to add the

Bleed for Cause prizemoney to that donation in2013,” saidAdams. “If yougive blood in February inthe name of the RotaryFoundation, you are help-ing three great organiza-tions serve children fromacross Greater Cincin-nati.”

Adams brought a signwith him to remember to“Say Rotary Foundation”and write Rotary Founda-tion on the blood donorform. “I’m donating forStepping Stones and alsofor the Autism Societyand the Down Syndrome

Association,” saidAdams.“But thosenamesaren’t inthe competition. To helpthem, you have to say Ro-tary Foundation.”

Hoxworth Blood Cen-ter's Bleed for a Causeevent runs through Feb-ruary. Sixty three chari-ties are working to rallydonors in their name. “Ev-erybody wins with this,”said Adams, who is a reg-ular blood donor.

February is a key needmonth, because manyregular blood donors areout of town over the win-ter, said Alicia Lipton ofHoxworth Blood Center.

Hoxworth works to en-sure there is an adequateblood supply for patientsserved by 31 area hospi-tals. It takes350volunteerblood donors and 40 vol-unteer platelet donors aday to meet that need.

The Bleed for a Causecompetition is funded byMontgomery Inn andToyota Motor Manufac-turing North America.The charity that earns themostpoint throughFebru-ary blood donors will win$10,000. Second and thirdplace awards are $5,000

and $2,500.The competition runs

Feb. 1 through Feb. 28. Todonate, go to one of theHoxworth Blood Center'seight neighborhood donorcenters (see www.hox-worth.org for locationsand to make a reserva-tion).

Indian Hill HighSchool’s Pow Wow pro-duction of “The Pirates ofPenzance” will be per-formed at 2 p.m., Satur-day,Feb.23,withplentyofinteractive activities foryoung pirates and youngmaidens.

On the coast of Corn-wall, a gang of piratesplayandpartyasFrederic(a pirate apprentice) re-minds the pirate king thathis obligation to the gangis soon over.

He was apprenticed tothe pirates only until his21st birthday, which isthat day, and he is leavingthem. Ruth (Frederic’snursery maid when hewas younger) explainsthat Frederic should nev-er have been a pirate ex-cept for her mistake: Shewas told to apprenticeFrederic to a pilot, but shemisunderstood andplaced him with a pirateinstead.

Frederic tells the pi-rates that, after he leavesthe gang, he intends to de-stroy them, not becausehe doesn’t love them, butbecause he loathes whatthey do. He is a slave ofduty and, when no longera pirate, it will be his dutyto destroy them. The pi-ratesunderstand,andalsocomplain that they cannotseem to make money.

Because Frederic is aslave-of-duty to the pi-rates until noon, he tellsthem why: Because theyare all orphans, the pi-rates will not rob anotherorphan; and since all theirpotential victims areaware of this, they allclaim to be orphans.

Because Frederic hasspent his entire life withthe pirates, he has neverseen anotherwoman; thushe thinks he may want totake Ruth with him as hiswife. He asks Ruth if sheis beautiful, and she re-sponds that she is.Freder-ic, a very trusting youngman, says that he believesRuth and he will not lether age come between

them.Pirates of Penzance is

the fairy-tale about veryfunny pirates and beauti-ful fair maidens.

ThePirateKing, a JackSparrow type, decides hehas other things in mindfor young Fredric whothen falls for thebeautifulMaidenMabel.

Pirates is the perfectfamily show with lots ofbeautiful music and high-energy dancing.

MADEIRA — MadeiraMayor Rick Brasingtonconfirms that city offi-cials are negotiating tobring a restaurant to Mi-ami Avenue near the rail-roaddepot –althoughhe isnot naming it.

“We are talking to a lo-cal restaurant operatorabout the location,” Bra-sington said.

“Nothing firm yet, butif it comes about, it will bea family-oriented placewith outdoor seatingandabar.

“We envision a placethat would be a destina-tion attraction and will fitnicely with its architec-

ture follow-ing the de-sign fea-tures of the‘mainstreet core’in ourform-basedcode,” Bra-

sington said.Madeira City Council

recently took steps thatwould welcome a restau-rant to the area.

City council createdthe “Muchmore Histori-cal Area,” a historical/commercial district com-prisedofcity-ownedprop-erty bordered by EuclidAvenue to the north, therailroad tracks to thesouth, a creek to the east

and Miami Avenue to thewest.

The area includes thehistorical MuchmoreHouse, Cleo HosbrookHouseandrailroaddepot -all onMiami Avenue.

The houses are to bemoved eastward andplaced near the railroaddepot, freeing up desir-ablefrontagealongMiamiAvenue to allow for theconstruction of one or twonew commercial build-ings–suchasarestaurant.

Madeiraalsoisexpand-ing the plaza around thedepot — which the citycurrently leases to ChooChoo’s Restaurant – for acommunity-gatheringplace to be called Centen-nial Plaza.

The Hamilton CountySheriff’s Office just saidno to DARE.

It’s phasing out the na-tional Drug Abuse Resis-tanceEducationprogram.

DARE is a comprehen-sive drug and violenceprevention education pro-gram based upon a beliefthat the only way to com-bat drug abuse and addic-tion is through early edu-cation and prevention. It’sa cooperative effort be-tween local schools andlaw enforcement person-nel and has expanded tocombat substance abuse,but bullying, violence andgangs.

Major Tom Corbett,whooverseessupport ser-

vices for the HamiltonCounty Sheriff’s Office,said hewould talk to all 17of the schools where thesheriff’s office presentedDARE programs to tellthem about the phase-out.

Doug Alpiger, princi-pal of St. Vincent FerrerSchool inKenwood, thinksthe program has been agood fit for the school andsends the right messageto his students.

“I think the informa-tion shared with studentsis accurate and helpfulabout how to be drug-free,” he said.

While Alpiger said hehopes DARE doesn’t goaway permanently, if itdoes, he might look intoother programs to fill thevoid.

Corbett said there

were a number of reasonsfor the sheriff’s office topull back on DARE.

He said cost is a factor.The sheriff’s office gets agrant of about $6,000 forthe program, but Corbettsaid costs were probablydouble that.He says a big-ger factor is staffing. Thesheriff’s office had threepeoplewhowere certifiedto teach DARE and he ex-pected that number toshrink to two. That’s notenough, and there is noone who has stepped upand said theywant to takethe training and do it.

“This is something youhave to want to do,” hesaid. “It’s not for every-body.”
