TheRangers are saddling upanewpush tohavepeople regis-ter horses they own or board inthe village.

The police department in In-dianHill is seeingan increase inthe number of horses gettingloose, and officers are havingtrouble figuring out to whomthe animals belong.

“We have several incidents ayearreferencinghorsesgettingloose,” said Police Chief ChuckSchlie.

“This could be from opengates, downed fences or fire-works.”

Schlie said the Rangers car-ry leads in theircruisersandtryto corral horses.

“We then either contact theowner ifweknowwhoitbelongsto, or call the general areawhere the horse was found tosee if anyone knows who thehorse belongs to,” Schlie said.

“If not located, we try to putthe horse in a penned area ortalk toaresidentwhowill take itin until we can contact the own-er.”

Schlie said horses and bridletrails have been part of life inIndian Hill throughout the vil-lage’s history, and that theRangers long have registeredhorses.

The police department isn’tsurehowmanyhorsesare in thevillage now.

Officers believe the numberis falling,but that it ismore thanthe three currently registered.

“This is just a new effort toget the word out to residents,”Schlie said.

“With the development ofproperty and the increase oftraffic throughout the village itis important to keep riders andhorses safe.

“It gives the department abetter idea of howmany horsesthere are in the village, descrip-tions of the horses andwho theybelong to,” Schlie said.

“This will allow us to quicklyreunite horse and owner.”

Pam Middendorff, of IndianHill, is president of the new In-dian Hill Equestrian Club.

If pressed, she would guessbetween 300 and 500 horses live

in Indian Hill.Middendorff, who owns

“Legacy Beau,” a registeredquarter horse, said she does notbelieve a large number of hors-es regularly run away in IndianHill, but said those that do putthemselves and people in dan-ger.

“Idon’t think it’s ahugeprob-lem and usually ends up as agood story at a cocktail party,”Middendorff said.

“But I do remember one inci-dent as a childwhenmyfriend’shorse got loose at night andwashit by a car on Given Road.

“All survived, but it was apretty severe injury,” Midden-dorff said.

In one gruesome Novem-ber injury, David Schneiderdislocated his foot, broke hisfibula, tore his meniscus, anddamaged cartilage around hisknee.

That night was just the be-ginning of his rehabilitationprocess. Unfortunately forthe 2010 Moeller High Schoolgraduate, the injury was toosevere to overcome. Aftermonths of grueling rehab,Schneider announced in Maythat he will not be able to playhis senior year of football forBall State University.

“It’s really been a life-changing experience,”Schneider said. “On the posi-tive side, I’ll be more readyfor the business world. I willtakemy academicsmore seri-ously than ever before.”

The professional sales ma-jor has been working for Cin-tas in Muncie, IN, this sum-mer and plans on graduatingin the spring.Hewill continueto work part-time for Cintasduring the school year. It willtake more than that to fill thevoid left by football.

“It’s definitely tough, be-cause now I’m working full-time and not seeing myfriends every day at prac-tice,” Schneider said.

The latest injury was notthe first for the former Cru-sader. He battled through in-juries to his labrum, rotatorcuff, bicep, wrist and fingersduring his three seasons atBSU. Even after suffering thenasty dislocation in Novem-ber, he refused to call it quits.It was only after his anklefailed to respond to treatmentthat Schneider had to acceptthat his football dayswere be-hind him.

“His mental and physicaltoughness is as strong as any-one we know,” said his father,Phil Schneider. “His ability todeal with adversity has beenincredible towatch.Thischar-acter development will carryover to the rest of his life. Weare more proud of the way hehas handled himself throughthis process thanwe are of hisfootball accomplishments.”

Althoughhewill notbeableto play his senior season, theuniversity is still honoringSchneider’s scholarship.

“That means a lot to me,”David said “I can still be aleader for the younger guys.”

The training staff and foot-ball coaches have been thereto support Schneider throughhis injury and treatment proc-ess. His role for the 2013 sea-son is not yet defined, but heplans on assisting the football

program in some capacity.“We are very pleased with

the way in which he has beentreatedhis entire career,”Philsaid. “The coaching staff andadministration have beenfirst class throughout his ca-reer.”

Schneider will live withfour roommates next year,two who play football and twowho do not. That will help himtransition fromhis old collegelife tohisnewone.Hewill stayclose to his friends in the foot-ball program, but will have asupport systemtohelphimfillhis newfound free time.

“The commitment of all ofhis friends, teammates,coaches and family has beenincredible and further en-deared us to the school,” Philsaid.

“I’m glad I chose BallState,” David said. “The peo-ple here are a family to me.”

One of themost frustratingaspects of the injury is thatSchneider felt that he wasplaying his best football rightbefore it happened. The Tues-daynightgameagainstToledowas telecast on ESPN2. Fansthat tuned in for some mid-week “MACtion” had to turnaway from the grisly sight ofSchneider’s lower leg. Al-though he was an importantpart of the Cardinals’ 9-4 sea-son, Schneider missed the op-portunity to play in the BeefO’Brady’s Bowl in December.

“The injury came at a timewhen he was playing his best,the team was excelling, andthe chance to compete in hisfirst bowl game was missed,”Phil said. “He was able toclimb out of this with the sup-port of family, teammates andcoaches. No one treated himdifferent just because he wasnot playing – he found that hecould be a value to others byshowing them how tough theycould be mentally and physi-cally.”

David Schneider suffered a gruesome leg injury in a game againstToledo last November – ending his college career at Ball State.PROVIDED

SYCAMORE TWP. — Pitchingand real estate share a commonthread.

To be of any significant val-ue, both need location, location,location.

It’s a lesson 2012 CincinnatiHillsChristianAcademygradu-ate Matt Blankenship learnedasacollegefreshmanat IndianaWesleyan in Marion.

He started the season in re-lief, picking up his first careersave against Bryan College(Tennessee) before injuries inthe rotation enabledhim to earna spot as a starter.

Blankenship went 2-1 as astarter,helpingtheWildcats toa22-22-1 regular-season record.

“I’m more of a location guynow,” Blankenship said. “I don’toverpower anybody. I guess thebest way to describe it is ... Iwent into IndianaWesleyan as athrower and now I’m much

more of a pitcher.“If you can locate a pitch

with some movement on it, youcan get a lot of guys out.”

After a CHCA career thatsawhimgo a combined16-0 as afreshman, sophomore and sen-ior - he battled mononucleosisas a junior - the numbers maynot appear gaudy, but Blanken-ship is happy with his growthand development.

“I guess right away you seethe speed of the game is muchgreater (in college),” he said. “Iwas able to adjust to that prettyquickly and able to adjust fromstarter to reliever, back to start-er.”

Location plays another rolein Blankenship’s life, too. As inhis heart and mind often lie farfrom whatever physical loca-tion he occupies, the result of apair of mission trips to the Do-minican Republic.

He took one with the Cincin-nati Spikes baseball team thesummer before 12th grade and

went again with CHCA overspring break his senior year. Onboth tripsheconnectedwith im-poverished children throughbaseball.

“I think sports are a greatthing to get people together,” hesaid. “It’s something we have incommon across cultures. To beable to see what they don’t haveand for you to be able to bringthemsome joy throughbaseballis a great feeling. I’d really liketo go back; maybe next sum-mer.”

This summer Blankenship ispitching for the Spikes again.He owns a 5-0 record so far thissummer playing at the PrascoPark complex in Mason.

In addition to his own play,Blankenship - who studiessports management at Wesley-an with an eye toward coachingor continuing the sports out-reach work he encountered onhis mission trip - has an intern-ship with a local select baseballprogram.

OKLAHOMA CITY — The roadtrip continues.

Cincinnati Country Day ris-ing senior Elijah Engelkehasn’t spent a lot of time athome this summer, but hasspent plenty of time honing hiscraft on the water.

The youngmanwhowon thesingles event at the MidwestScholastic Regatta in May -amongother titles - addedsomeinternational experience to hisresume this month, rowing sin-gles and and quads in the annu-al CanAmMex Regatta featur-ing the junior national teams ofNorth America.

The regatta took place atOklahoma City Race Sport, afully buoyed 2,000-metercourse that serves as a trainingground for the U.S. Olympicand Paralympic teams.

It also featured a uniquetwist.

“That’s my first interna-tional competition,” Engelkesaid. “Surprisingly I had nonerves at the starting line. I gotto representmy country, whichis a pretty amazing thing to beable to do.

“They have a portion of the

course lit up, so we did somenight racing. It was just afriendly 500-meter sprint, butit was still pretty cool.”

Cool, yes, but Engelke’s timewashot, postingapersonal bestin the first 1,000 meters of the2K race on his way to third-place finish among six boats inthe single scull. The quad boatdidn’t fare as well, placingthird among three.

Collectively, TeamUSA tookthe silver medal.

“We raced our hardest, but Iguess it wasn’t enough,” En-gelke said. “We didn’t reallyhave enough time to train to-gether. It takes somuch time tomatch another rower’s stroke.By no means can you just putguys together and expect themto win.

“I had fun just the same, get-ting that international experi-ence.”

Engelke prepped for the Ca-nAmMex with three weeks inPennsylvania at an elite train-ing camp hosted by the SteelCity Rowing Club.

“We had a pretty vaststretch of water to work on upthere,” Engelke said. “It wasbetween two dams (on theMonongahela River, a tribu-tary of the Ohio).”

Rowers went from Pitts-burgh to Philadelphia for theIndependence Day Regatta,where Engelke rowed the sin-gle scull and the junior eightsweep boat.

As much success as he’sfound as an individual, Engelkelooks forward to competing inbigger boats as his rowing ca-reer progresses.

“Iwould like to findpartnerswho are as interested andmoti-vated as I am,” he said. “I’d liketo do larger boats and make ateam that can really work to-gether. I like the idea of beingpart of a team.

“I'm going to stick to colle-giate rowing for the next step(Engelke has yet to commit to acollege), but my goal, I’m look-ing at being part of the 2020Olympics. It will be a lot ofwork to get there.”

Until then, Engelke will fin-ish his summer seasonwith theRoyal Canadian Henley Regat-ta the first week of August.

Then comes the fall season -head racing, as it’s known -where boats compete in timetrials instead of head to head.

“I like the fall season,” En-gelke said. “You just concen-trate on your stroke and try tobeat the clock.”

SYCAMORE TWP. —A Tristateherd of Moose will make itsway west to California by theendof themonth seekingwater.

They have been known toflash their antlers andmove te-naciously and aggressively to-wardanyone in theirway. Inter-estingly, they do seem to ac-commodate tourists seekingtheir picture.

This species cannot be foundin a national park or woodedarea. Oddly, they congregatearound chlorinated pools.

From July 27-Aug. 4, theMoose Water Polo Club startedby coaches Paul Splitt andNickHellwig will converge on Or-ange County for theWater PoloJunior Olympics. Splitt over-seas the group with Hellwighelping coach the boys and Ga-ry Tameris the girls.

All three coach at Sycamoreduring the fall high school sea-son.

TheMoose consists of18 andunder boys and girls “A” and“B” teams and a junior highgroup of 14 to 16 year olds.

“We wanted to find a uniquename,” Splitt said. “There wasnoMoose.We’re theonlyMoosein the nation. What we reallylike iswhenwestart a game,wego ‘Mooooooooose!’”

The team is primarily madeup of Sycamore and Masonplayers. They are starting tobranch out to other communi-ties and students fromMilford,Princeton, St. Xavier, Ursuline,Reading and Anderson are alsoinvolved.

“The first two years we had30 kids,” Splitt said. “Last yearwe were up to around 70 and

this year we’re around 100.”The club has competed in

Pittsburgh, Ann Arbor and Chi-cago and has amix of water po-lo-only athletes and swimmers.

“Water polo is August, Sep-tember and October (in highschool),” Splitt said. “We wantto maintain a close relationshipwith swimming. We believe afaster swimmer is going to be abetter polo player. “

Not all high schools offer thesport andmany of those that dohave players on the Moosesquad. Essentially, theMoose isa non-school season all-starteam.

“Thatwas one of our originalintentions,” Splitt said. “I wantour best to playwith each otherso we can get better and com-pete with the best around.”

As a result, the third-rankedMoose girls will be among thetop 48 teams in the country in

California, with the No. 7 guyscompeting against teams 49-84.

“Our girls will compete for anational championship,” Splittsaid. “It’s because the betterkids are playingwith the betterkids and it’s pushing them.”

When at home, the Moosecompete at the MontgomerySwim and Tennis Club, the onlyoutdoor water polo venue out-side of California.

They recently hosted theJose Cerda Memorial tourna-ment named after the late wa-ter polo and swimming stand-out at Sycamore. His familystarted the Jose CerdaNavarroAquatic Foundation, which ac-cepts tax-free donations tofund the team’s efforts at P.O.Box 12918, Cincinnati, OH45212.

In the meantime, Splitt en-courages supporters to come tomatches and be recognized.

A publication of

Confused premises added to absurdityBruce Healey, identified

only as a resident of IndianHill, appeared as guest col-umnist in the July 10 issue ofthe Eastern Hills Journal in apiece headlined, “Where gothe Republicans.”

What was noteworthy aboutthe effort was that in a pre-tended concern for the surviv-al of the Republican Party Mr.Healey achieved a very com-pelling example of the theatreof the absurd.

Acknowledging that,“There is plenty of room forconservative values in thiscountry, and that is a goodthing,” the writer showed noclue as to actual conservativevalues; even less of an un-derstanding of American polit-ical institutions, traditional

religious prin-ciples or theattributes ofthe “hypocri-sy,” withwhich hesought to labelthose of uswho actuallyhave conser-vative values.

The “croco-dile tears,”

over what he sees as a Repub-lican dilemma are as uncon-vincing as is his advice on howto solve our problem. Considerhis premises:

Mr. Healey laments thatRepublicans will alienate vot-ers by adhering to their be-liefs, rather than Mr. Healey’sbeliefs, and that if we self-

destruct it would not be goodin a “Democracy” to have onlyone major political party.

Someone should explain toMr. Healey that a major pur-pose for our Federal Union, asexplained by James Madisonin Federalist #10, was to pro-tect the American people from“Democracy,” which our foun-ders equated with “mob rule.”

He accuses ConservativeRepublicans, of trying to tellpeople whom they can marry.This is blatantly untrue, butreflects further confusion onMr. Healey’s part.

The political issue is notabout “who one can marry,”but what the concept of mar-riage refers to. Nature deter-mines “whom one can marry,”if you understand what civi-

lized humanity has alwaysmeant by “marriage”: A sanc-tification of the procreation ofthe next generation via a fam-ily structure that nurtureschildren, both biologically,spiritually and with ongoingmoral purpose.

Mr. Healey shows similarconfusion on the subject of“reproductive rights.” Conser-vative Republicans do notfavor telling people whetherthey can or cannot reproduce.The political issue is aboutwhether having reproduced,people should be allowed tokill their progeny.

Mr. Healey is confusedover an imagined conflictbetween Christian values andthe death penalty, rights tobear arms and rights to con-

trol borders. He abhors taxesand legislation, which he feelsunfairly favor business in-terests.

From the things that hedisparages it is clear that hisobjection to a single majorpolitical party is not an ob-jection to uniformity ofthought on political, social,moral and economic issues.

Nothing in his column sug-gests a deviation from theegalitarian humanist com-pulsion that drives the Obamaadministration. He just ap-pears to want an oppositionparty that will join in andmake the radical innovations“bipartisan.”

What? Is that even pos-sible? The answer is yes.

The 2014 Ohio two-yearoperating budget that Gov.John Kasich recently signedinto law limits the informa-tion rape victims receive,makes contraception and arange of important health

servicesmore diffi-cult to ob-tain, espe-cially forlow-incomewomen, andpotentiallyoutlaws anentire formof contracep-tion.

ConniePillich, state

representative for Ohio’s28th District and candidatefor Ohio treasurer, wrote,“Ohio’s budget is a disap-pointment. The aggressiveattacks on women’s health torestrict access to contracep-tion and cancer screeningshave no place in the budgetand are flatly opposed bydoctors and women who be-lieve that women are rathercapable of deciding thesethings on their own.”

Abortion opponents hi-jacked the budget negotia-tions and added amendmentshaving nothing to do with thestate’s financial policies.

Kasich’s response to thisabuse of the legislative bud-get process was, “I think thelegislature has a right tostick things in budgets andput policy in budgets.”

Kasich had line-item vetopower and used it on 22 dif-ferent amendments in thebudget. He left in place fiveanti-health, anti-womenamendments.

These five amendmentswere tucked away in themassive bill. They were nev-er exposed to public scrutiny.

The five amendments callfor the following:

» defunding Planned Par-enthood and other familyplanning clinics;

» blocking and restrictingtransfer agreements andvariances necessary for abor-

tion providers to operatelegally;

» imposing a gag order onrape crisis centers – blockingrape crisis counselors frommentioning to impregnatedrape victims that they have alegal right to terminate theirpregnancy;

» shifting tax payer dol-lars from Temporary Aid forNeedy Families to medicallyinaccurate faith-based crisispregnancy centers.

» requiring women toundergo and pay for forced,medically unnecessary ultrasound as a condition for ob-taining an abortion.

Republican policy makersin Ohio have even redefinedthe terms “pregnancy” and“fetus.” In their budget, theyhave decided that a woman ispregnant even before a fertil-ized egg is implanted in theuterine lining. The effect ofthis policy may prevent awoman in Ohio from using anintrauterine device. How doyou spell extremism?

Stephanie Kight, presidentof Planned Parenthood Ad-vocates of Ohio, stated, “Theprovisions in the Ohio statebudget are part of an orches-trated effort to roll backwomen’s rights and access tohealth care in Ohio – and thebudget is only the latest in aseries of restrictive lawssigned by John Kasich thathave hurt the women in ourstate who need more accessto health care, not less.”

Kasich’s agenda is clear –to put politicians in charge ofwomen’s personal and pri-vate medical decisions.

This extreme politicalagenda is not what Ohioanswant and they will hold Kas-ich accountable when theyvote Nov. 4, 2014.

Ohioans want doctors andmedical experts to makemedical decisions and sethealth procedures –not JohnKasich.

Ohio’s newbudget restrictswomens’ rights

RichardSchwabCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Last week’s questionDo you agree with the new

abortion laws that were includedin Ohio’s recently approved bud-get, such as prohibiting publichospitals entering into writtenagreementswithambulatorysur-gical centers that perform abor-tions to accept their patients incase of emergency, and requiringdoctors to test for a fetal heart-beat, then inform the patientseeking an abortion in writing ofthe presence of that heartbeat,and then provide statistical likeli-hood that the fetus could be car-ried to term?Why or why not?

“YES. No explanation need-ed.”

J.K.

“There is no middle groundbetween those who believe thatabortion is the killing of a hu-man being and those who be-lieve it is the correction of anextremely unfortunate lifechoice before it is too late.

“The women who are facedwith the choice of a 20+ yearcommitment to raising a childthey are not prepared to handlehave a tough enough decisionabout their future. It should betheir decision and theirs alone.

“The folkswhodisagreewiththis have been unsuccessful atmaking abortion illegal so nowtheyhavestooped to lowandde-spicable tactics trying to makeit difficult or impossible for awoman to receive a safe and le-gal abortion. Theywould rathersee awomandie fromabotchedabortion at an illegal clinic thancompromise their belief.

“They do not condone takingthe child's life but they have noqualmsabout killing themotheror dooming her to raise a childshe is ill equipped to support.

“This is special interest poli-tics at its worst, disgusting.”

F.S.D.

“The Ohio legislators shouldall have to adopt two childrenborn to mothers who did notwant or could afford the chil-dren. They will probably con-tinue to reduce welfare.Planned Parenthood shouldhave greater funding not less.”

Walter

“Absolutely not. This is a so-cial issueandhasnoplace inanybudget.

“It is also a mistake to makelegislation that forces anyAmerican family to hide in theprivacy of their homes out offear for their government.

“While this budget shows usthat elected representativesthink they own our homes, busi-nesses, schools,and property, italso shows theywish to own ourchoices, too.

“It's scary, and they'll pay forthis puritanism at the next elec-tion.”

K.P.

“I do not agreewith this, par-ticularly prohibitingpublic hos-pitals from entering into agree-ments to accept emergency pa-tients. Allwomenare entitled toequal health care and treat-ment.

“Currently, clinics that per-form abortions must haveagreements with a hospital toprovide emergency care. Pro-hibiting this essentially is clos-ing some clinics down.

“What is most appalling isthat these abortion provisionswere sneaked into the budgetbill at the last minute, allowingno debate and then Kasich, sur-rounded by men, signed it intolaw.

“It is a giant step backwardsfor women's rights in this coun-try and an embarrassment tothe citizens of Ohio to allowsuch draconian laws on ourbooks.”

D.P.

“Absolutely not. One morecase of the white, right, maledominated state legislator tell-ing women that they are notsmart enough to have controlover their own bodies.

“Why is it the Republicans,the 'I love America' group, whokeep reducing the hard-foughtrights of the middle, lower, andfemale class of citizens. Firstvoter suppression, nowa returnto the 1950s. Next, if we are notcareful, women will once againbe chattels and non-whites sec-

ond-class citizens.“Wake up Ohioans, Kasich

and cronies will destroy thisgreat state. They got a start al-ready.

“I am an older, white, male,but I have a moral conscienceand do not want the good olddays.”

J.Z.

“I disagree with everythingabout it. Theway itwas enactedby slipping it into a budget billand the terms. Sneaking suchaction into the budget, and us-ing the budget as a weaponagainst women, is as cowardlyas it is cruel.

“These amendments onlycreate insurmountable barriersthat effectively eliminate safemedical abortions as an option,which are legal in this country.Ifyouwant topreventabortionsmake sure every woman hashealth care, a high school edu-cation, and access to birth con-trol.

“Many Ohio women dependon Planned Parenthood for ba-sic preventive health care.Theyalso count onPlannedPar-enthood being there for themduring the times of greatestneed.

“Politicians should not inter-fere with private health careneeds of women. When the U.S.Supreme Court reaffirmed thelegality of abortion it allowedstates to set restrictions – with-outplacingan 'undueburden' ona woman. Yet such a burden isprecisely what Republicans atthe Statehouse seek to apply.”

K.F.S.

“I do not agree. I have been apro-choice advocate for dec-ades. I believe the governor isonly giving in to his pro-life do-nors and doesn't care much forwomen's rights.

“When a woman makes theheart-wrenching decision toabort she doesn't need to hearthe heartbeat or be put in dan-ger if there is a problem and berefused admission at a publichospital. This is insane. Has thegovernor no compassion?

“Every woman in Ohioshould be outraged at this ac-tion. We deserve better.”

E.E.C.

“Life is precious … in allforms.Wouldn't it bewise to erron the side of caution… insteadof encouraging people to onlythink about themselves?”

The actual rate of inflation you experienceduring your retirement years could be more or less then the assumption used in the planning process. • The goal of theprocess when providing an “Income Designed to Last Your Lifetime” is based on current data available and assumes lifeexpectancies for your lifetime. Due to changes in healthcare, longer life expectancies and your individual situation it ispossible to outlive the plan. • Annuities are long term investments designed for retirement purposes. Withdrawals of taxableamounts are subject to income tax, and, if taken prior to age 59½, a 10% federal tax penalty may apply. Early withdrawalsmay be subject to withdrawal charges. The purchase of a variable annuity is not required for, and is not a term of, the provisionof any financial service or activity. • Purchase of an annuity contract through a qualified plan does not provide any additionaltax-deferral benefits beyond those already provided through the plan. If you are purchasing an annuity contract through aplan, you should consider purchasing it for its death benefit, annuity options, and other non-tax related benefits. Guaranteedmonthly income is based on current values as well as the terms and conditions of the annuity contract or optional rider. Theseadvantages can only be fully realized if you follow the benefit’s rules and hold annuity through surrender period.

Sometimes my enthu-siasm in spring for plant-ing herbs and producegoes so out of boundsthat when it’s time for

harvest-ing, I getover-whelmed.

I wentout earlyto picktomatoesand hap-pened tosee what Ithoughtwere a

few green beans ready topick. Ditto for cucum-bers. By the time I fin-ished, I had a big basketof beans, almost a dozencucumbers and morethan enough squash forthe neighborhood. I hadalso planted a row ofboth Iranian/lemon andsweet basil in the veggiegarden. (Not that I didn’talready have enough inthe herb garden!) Thebasils were just startingto flower so I had toharvest them, as well.The veggies will keepfor a couple of days but Iwanted to work with thebasil then, so I made mylatest version of freezerpesto.

Rita’s freezer pestoThere’s a huge in-

terest in making pesto,so I could probably de-vote a whole column toit. Readers want to knowif nuts are essential. No,and walnuts make a goodsubstitute for pine nuts.Should you add garlicafter thawing? I add bothnuts and garlic to mypesto prior to freezing,but some food gurus sayleave them out since, intheir opinion, these

items turn strong in thefreezer.

I use my food proces-sor, but you could use ablender or make this byhand. This is a thickerpesto that freezes well.Add more oil after thaw-ing, if you like. Some-times I’ll add a bit ofwater to pesto if I’musing it to coat pasta.Check out my blog to seesome favorite recipesusing pesto.

1 to 11⁄2 teaspoons garlic,minced

1⁄4 cup pine nuts, toasted ifdesired

1⁄2 stick unsalted butter(optional, but good)

Generous handful parsleyleaves

4 generous cups basilleaves, packed

11⁄4 cups Parmesan cheese orto taste

1⁄4 cup Romano cheese1⁄2 to 3⁄4 cup extra virgin oliveoil

Generous squeeze of lemonjuice

With processor’s mo-tor running, add garlicand nuts. Add every-thing else and using thepulse button, pulse untiljust mixed, then pourinto containers andfreeze.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Why does my pestoturn dark? Basil oxi-dizes rapidly whenleaves are cut up eithertoo finely and/or exposedto air, so use the pulsebutton to mix. That alsoalleviates heat whileprocessing, which canturn the basil dark. Trythese tips to keep yourpesto green.

» Blanch the basilleaves to keep them

green.» Add parsley and

lemon juice to keep thegreen color.

» Pour a thin film ofoil over the top beforestoring may keep enoughair out, as well.

And sometimes, evenif you take those steps, itstill may get dark. Don’tworry, it’s a visual thingand doesn’t affect thequality or taste.

Tomato zucchinicasserole

No real recipe here.Sometimes I’ll add a bitof fresh chopped basilbefore serving.

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Spray casseroledish. Layer sliced zuc-chini, sliced onions,sliced tomatoes, a sprin-kling of oregano andgarlic powder or freshminced garlic (not toomuch), Parmesan andmozzarella cheeses.

Repeat layers exceptfor mozzarella, whichshould be added last 10minutes of baking time.Bake about 45 minutes

or until veggies are ten-der before adding lastlayer of cheese.

Orange dreamsicleyogurt pops

Blend together:

1pint plain yogurt1⁄2 cup thawed orange juiceconcentrate

1 teaspoon vanilla

Pour into frozen popmolds and freeze.

Lemonade pops:Substitute pink or reg-ular lemonade for theorange juice.

Stay hydratedI worry about the

younger and older con-tingent in our Communi-ty Press family. They’rethe ones who may not

hydrate properly, sokeep an eye out. Add asqueeze of fresh lemonor lime juice to water foran extra boost for yourimmune system and tomake drinking watermore appealing. Make ita fun drink by addingfresh mint, stevia orother sweetener to taste.

Local fire departmentofficials recently got alook at the future of am-bulances and emergencymedical service equip-ment, and the manufac-turer’s engineers took theopportunity to get feed-back from firefighter-paramedics on the front-line.

Stephen Ashbrock,chief of theMadeira& In-dian Hill Joint Fire Dis-trict, said staff from hisdistrict and from eightother regional fire dis-tricts and departmentsthat traveled to Wilming-ton to tour theFerno com-pany’s manufacturingplant can reveal few de-tails about what they sawbecause of a non-disclo-sure agreement with thecompany that may bebest known for its ambu-lance cots.

But, “As they showedus the equipment wewere in the unique posi-tion then to provide themfeedback on what weliked or perhaps didn’tlike about the prototype,”Ashbrock said.

“This is genuine out-reach by the company asthey are asking the actualusers of their equipmentto provide input into thequality and functionalityof the equipment we useevery day.”

Participating in thetour of Ferno were mem-bers of the East Group ofFire Departments,which, in addition to theMadeira & Indian HillJoint Fire District, in-clude the AndersonTownship Fire Depart-

ment, Deer Park Silver-ton Joint Fire District,Little Miami Joint Fire &Rescue District, Marie-mont Fire Department,Milford Community FireDepartment, Montgome-ry Fire Department, Syc-amore Township Fire De-partment and TerracePark Fire Department.

The local fire depart-ment officials and fire-fighter-paramedicswatched Ferno test cotsand other emergencymedical services equip-ment and participated ina hands-on lab featuringprototype cots not yet onthe market.

Ferno also makes mo-torized “stair chairs” thatmove people up and downsteps and “scoop stretch-ers” that help lift peopleout of beds and off floors.

“What makes theequipment special is thatit is designed to improvethesafetyofpatient-mov-ing for both the patientand the emergency re-sponder,” Ashbrock said.

“Wealsowerepresent-ed with Ferno’s view ofambulances of the futureand how they might bemade smaller, more effi-cient and safer by rede-signing the interiorspaces and storageareas.”

Colton Janzen of Ma-deira, a Xavier Univer-sity business student andunpaid business internwith the Madeira & Indi-anHill JointFireDistrict,coordinated the eventwith Ferno officials.

“I am interested inavailable careers inAmerican manufactur-ing, sowhen themanufac-turer makes fire depart-

ment equipment it was aperfectopportunity to tryto make the connectionfor the fire departments,Ferno and me,” Janzensaid.

“When a manufactur-er is interested in the in-put of the end-user oftheir products everyonebenefits.”

Ashbrock said it is too

early to say what the newequipment Ferno is de-veloping will cost andwhether local fire dis-tricts and departmentswill be able to afford anyof it.

“There is perhaps anarguable view that rede-signed ambulances couldactually be less expen-sive,” Ashbrock said.

MADEIRA — The va-cant warehouse on Ca-margo Road will mostlikely remain unchangedfor at least anothermonth after the MadeiraPlanning Commissionvoted not to recommenda plan to allow recre-ational use at the site.

Steve Karoly, chair ofthe commission, said itwas his opinion the de-veloper needed to bemore specific with therecreational-use re-quest.

Karloy said he would

be more inclined to rec-ommendapproval for theusage “if (the developer)could narrow down therecreational uses and de-fine exactly what itwants as far as uses."

The problem with avague request, Karolysaid, is that another de-veloper could come insometime later and dosomething different thecity hadn't anticipatedand might not want.

Other commissionconcerns were where toincorporate the CentralBusiness District over-lay regulations, and forthe developer to provide

detail in how the zoningrequest use would tieinto the district.

“ThePrimaryconcernwas that the request didnot include retaining theproperty within the Cen-tral Business Districtoverlay district,” saidTom Moeller, city man-ager, in an email. “By do-ing so, it would have al-lowed for some addition-al site development con-trols/requirements.”

Additionally, the pro-posed use did not fit thecity’s Land Use Plan,Moeller said, raisingdoubt if it would enhanceor improve the district.
