The two vacant buildingsthat neighbor the southern ga-teway toMontgomery are onestep closer to being developedafter the city decided to seizecontrol of the properties.

Montgomery City Councilagreed to buy 9292 Montgo-mery Road, the old Chevroletdealership, for $2.8 millionfromMCDCHoldings, LLC, atits meeting June 4.

The city already owns 9260Montgomery Road, the oldFord Dealership, which is be-side the lot. The city boughtthat site for $2.7 million inApril.

Mayor Todd Steinbrinksaid with the two lots and asmall piece of land obtainedfromHamilton County the en-tire site is 11.5 acres.

“The development of thisproperty makes sense com-bined. It is easier to marketthe whole site as a mixed-usedevelopment,” MontgomeryLaw Director Terry Donnel-lon said.

The city passed an ordi-nance by emergency for theissuance of no more than $2.8million in bonds to buy theproperty and to allow CityManagerWayneDavis to startmarketing the lots together.

Councilwoman Gerri Ha-brison said bids for the sitewill go out June11and the cityhopes to close on them by theend of June.

“This is a lot of money tospend for the city. It is a lotmoney between the Ford siteand the Chevy site to commitdollars to. But, I feel stronglyenough that this is a hugelyimportant decision for thisproperty and it is in the bestinterest of the citizen for us toproceed with this,” she said.

The $2.8 million includesthe cost for demolition andsite preparation for economicdevelopment. Steinbrink saidthe city might get some of themoney back, because the city

will not fully financially sup-port a development.

“The control issue and get-ting it moving forward wassomething that had reallybeen lackingandthis isagreatstep forward and getting theball rolling,” Steinbrink said.

Many members of councilsaid the site being develop-mentwill help the city’s devel-opment and improve thesouthern gateway to the city.

“It provides the city auniqueopportunity to dramat-ically change a site, which hasbeen bymany accounts an un-derdeveloped and certainlynot appreciatedbymost of theresidents in its current form,to something that can reallychange the gateway and thebase of Montgomery for dec-ades to come,” Steinbrinksaid.

Councilman Ken Suer saidpossible sales and develop-ment plans for the sites havebeen going on for years, butnothing ever came to fruition.

“Finally, now with the citybeingable tocontrolbothsitesthere is going to be a realchange in the dynamics. Itreally changes the ballgameentirely. From my perspec-tive, it has always been just adisaster. I think that isgoingtochange,” Suer said.

The two ordinances andone resolution to allow for thepurchase and marketing ofthe site all passed with a voteof 6-0. Councilwoman LydiaRoesch abstained fromvotingbecause of a conflict of inter-est regarding her law firm.

Just a couple phonecalls can leave SycamoreTownship Fire Chief RobPenny scrambling.

It happened on a re-cent June morning – twopeople called off work,leaving him struggling tofind replacements – andit’s becoming more com-mon.

“In the last six monthswe had 13 part-timersleave, and in the last yearwe’ve lost 21,” Penny saidduring a township staffmeeting. “We’re reallyrunning into difficultyreplacing them. All thesepart-timers have takenoff for full-time jobs.”

Sycamore Townshiphas 21 full-time firefight-ers/paramedics and 55who work part-time. Itmay seem like enough,but with firefightersworking 24-hour shiftsand many having full-time jobs with other de-partments, Penny said itcan be tough to maintain12 people at the town-ship’s two stations, whichhandle about a dozencalls a day.

He’s placed job adver-tisements in surroundingcounties, at local hospi-tals and at trainingschools seeking morepart-time firefightersand paramedics, but ithasn’t helped. SycamoreTownship needs at leastnine people each day tostaff the twofire stations.

“We do need to look atsomething because it’s aschedule issue, really,”he said. “We’re trying tomaintain at least mini-mumstaffinguntilwegetpeople in. I would like tosay the pay rate going upwould help, but other(area departments) arenot getting applicationseither.”

A part-time firefight-er or medic makes $13 anhour in Sycamore Town-ship, and Penny said theaverage in the area isabout $15 or $16 per hour.

Trustee Cliff Bishopisn’t sure that would helprecruit more people tothe township.

“The biggest problemis a place like the city ofCincinnati, which takes50peopleout of themixat

one time, and we mighthave to wait for the nextbatch (of graduates) tocome out,” he said. “Thesolution is not always tothrow more money outthere because as we’veseen in the past, town-ships and municipalitiesare kind of unique.”

Because there is sucha small pool of communi-ties in the area, Bishopsaidhedidn’twant to “getinto a bidding war” withothers who are also try-ing to recruit new staff.

Penny said about 85percent of the part-timeparamedics and fire-fighters in SycamoreTownship also have full-time jobs with other de-partments. “It’s not justour department, thewhole county is hurtingfor part-timers,” he said.

Bishop proposed look-ing into a new incentiveprogram, where thetownshipwould cover thecost of training andschool, and in return, re-ceive a commitmentfrom the recruit to staywith Sycamore Townshipfor a certain number ofyears.

Another option, Pennysaid, would be to hiremore full-time firefight-ers/paramedics toat leastmaintain minimum stafflevels, but that alsowouldadd to costs because ofsalary and benefits.

“No matter how manyfull-time we have, weneed part-time,” TrusteeDenny Connor said.“Where do we go next?”

Two years ago, town-ship trustees signed anagreement with the fireunion that included paycuts, demotions and re-structuring of the fire de-partment, with a heavierrelianceonpart-timeper-sonnel.

That agreement cameon the heels of an earlierproposal to potentiallyoutsource SycamoreTownship’s fire and EMSservices, an option laterrejected by trustees.

The agreement withthe fire union is set to ex-pire at the end of thisyear.

PRESS PREPS HIGHLIGHTS

COLUMBUS — A day afterhis Sycamore High Schoolboys doubles teamwon a statetitle at Ohio State, Aviator ten-nis coach Mike Teets movedhismenfromgreenandgold toanother hotel near Reynolds-burg High School.

It wasn’t anything as dra-matic as avoiding paparazzi.

AsMayendedwiththeDivi-sion I singles anddoubles tour-nament; June began with theOhio Tennis Coaches Associa-tion state team tournament inReynoldsburg.

By Sunday afternoon, Teetshad added a state team trophyto the doubles hardware wonthe day before by senior Mus-tafa Ahmad and junior NakulNarendran. Though he hadmadeplenty trips toColumbuswith talented teams, Teets hadnever returned as part of astate champion.

This year, the Aves camehome double-fisted.

“Boy has it been exciting!”Teets said. “The guys outdidthemselves.”

Towin, theAves had to playMassillon Jackson, an up andcoming young team that Teetsfeelswill bea factor inyears tocome. Once they had jumpedbyJackson, theyhad to takeonthe back-to-back defendingchampion, Upper Arlington.

In both matches, Sycamoreplayed their normal line-up.Junior Deepak Indrakantiplays first singles, junior Na-kul Narendran second, sopho-more Alex Taylor third withsenior Mustafa Ahmad/fresh-man Noah Stern on first dou-bles and juniors Alex Witten-baum/Aditya Venkitarama onsecond doubles.

Taylor had been battling in-

jury before taking the court inReynoldsburg.

“Hehadn’t reallybeenplay-ing matches,” Teets said. “It’stough with the heat, but he dida great job for us. We werereally happy to havehim in thelineup.”

Against Upper Arlington,Sycamore swept doubles butlost second singles. Taylor’sthirdsinglesmatchwasnotyetcomplete when first singlesplayer Deepak Indrakanti se-cured victory for the Aveswith a 6-1, 6-4 triumph.

Throughout the season theAves withstood injury issueswith a strong bench from their“B” team. Sycamore’s “B”squadmighteasilycontendforchampionships in otherleagues.

“Wehaveafantasticvarsity‘B’ team,” Teets said. “Theyare tough as nails. It reallyhelps when we need to bringsomebodyup thatwehave thatquality of player to choosefrom.”

The team win capped agreat swan song for MustafaAhmad. Sycamore’s lone sen-ior won the doubles title onMay 31 and then helped withanother doubles win June 1 tohoist trophies on consecutivedays.

“He went out in style,”Teets said.

Therestof the teamreturnsintact, though Teets alwayshasyoungtalenton thehorizonin the Sycamore school dis-trict. Odds are, the green andgold men will be making theCincinnati toColumbustoRey-noldsburg trek again in a year.

“We have a nice group com-ing back, but we know howtough the teams are in South-west Ohio,” Teets said.“There’snowaywe’ll takeany-thing for granted.”

Sycamore snaresOhio team tennis titleBy Scott [email protected]

COLUMBUS — At the risk ofblasphemy, Matthew’s Gospelgot it wrong.

“Knock and the door will beopened to you,” the scripturepassage said.

Well, the Cincinnati HillsChristian Academy baseballteam knocked on the door, butcouldn’t quite get the opening itwanted during a 4-2 Division IIIstate championship game loss toColdwater June 7.

“We were a couple of hitsaway,” said CHCA head coachJeff Keith. “We made three er-rors, which is uncharacteristicofus.Give themcredit.Theydidwhat they had to do. We justcouldn’t capitalize a couple oftimes.”

The Cavaliers, on the otherhand,didexactlythatdespitebe-ing outhit 10-5 and striking outninetimes,comparedtoonlyonewhiff for the Eagles.

Coldwater took advantage ofa CHCA error on the first ballput inplay.LeadoffbatterBrodyHoying - grandson of formerCincinnatiRedsstarWallyPost -reached on an errant throw andadvanced to second on a sacri-fice bunt.

CHCA intentionally walkedMalave Bettinger to set up aforce, but after senior pitcherBlake Swanger fanned MitchHeyne for the second out, GrantMuhlenkamp launched a ball tothe right-center gap that ChaseMurray nearly caught in a div-ing effort, but it went to thewallfor a two-run triple.

Adam Klosterman followedwithanRBIsingle to scoreMuh-lenkamp and the Eagles trailed3-0before theyever approachedthe plate.

Coldwater got its fourth runin the third inning on Heyne’ssacrifice fly to center to scoreKraig Schoenherr, a courtesyrunner for Bettinger.

“They just got ahead of myfastball inthefirst inningandwegave themacouple runs,” Swan-ger said. “I felt like after that Ipitched pretty well andmixed itup and kept them off balance.”

Keith agreed.“We didn’t help him early

with some jitters,” said CHCAhead coach Jeff Keith. “Once

again he had a great perfor-manceandwedidn’tgethimanyruns. We couldn’t have askedanymore fromhim. It’s tough tocome back when you’re threedown.”

Playing from behind was an-other uncharacteristic scenario.CHCA had not given up a singlerun in any of its five previoustournament victories.

Chase Murray drove in NickHarker with a single in the sec-ond and scored Cam Murraywith a double in the fifth. CHCAhad runners in scoring position

with one out in both the secondand fourth, but hit into inning-ending double plays both times.

Swanger kept it close, send-ing the Cavaliers down 1-2-3 inthe fifth with a pair of strike-outs. He worked out of a bases-loaded-one-out jam in the top ofthesixthwhenAaronHarlamertpopped up a two-strike bunt toJon Edelman at third base andpinch hitter Blake Spanglergrounded to Edelman to end theinning.

STATE SEMIFINALSEagles senior Cameron Varga beat Orrville 3-0 in the semifinals June 5,

struck out 15 Red Rider hitters while twirling the fifth no-hit game ofthe season. It marked his eighth consecutive shutout and left him with aseason record of 10-0 and an earned-run average of 0.00.“What can you say,” asked Eagles head coach Jeff Keith. “Cam Varga.

Cam Varga. There’s not much else you can say. He’s incredible, the best.”Varga committed to pitch for the University of North Carolina next

season, but hours after blowing by Orville, the Tampa Bay Rays pickedhim in the second round of the Major League draft.“Honestly, I’m just excited about this team right now,” he said. “This

is a blast. It’s going to be awesome watching this team finish it up andwin state. Of course I’d want the ball, but we trust (Blake) Swanger(who will start the finals). We have all year. He’s done a great job. Thiswhole team has.”Sophomore Chase Murray had two triples to spark the offense. The

first for drove in Jon Edelmann and Ryan Smith in the top of the thirdinning. The second set the table for a Kyle Davis sacrifice fly in the sixth.

East-West All-Star football coming June 12

COLUMBUS — If it’sJune, it must be Hunting-ton Park for the MoellerHigh School baseballteam.

Seeking a third-straight Division I cham-pionship, coach TimHeld’s Crusaders madethe familiar trek to down-town Columbus for theweekend of June 6-7.

They faced a teamfrom Massillon Jacksonthat hadn’t been to thestate semifinals in 67years.

The Polar Bears cameinto the gamewith a simi-lar record at 24-5 and be-gan to conjure up memo-ries of 1947 by scoring

right away off of Moellerace Zach Logue. SeniorKyle Mottice reachedbase andwas driven in bysenior JakeMiller to giveJackson the early 1-0lead.

From there, Jacksonsophomore Sam Millerkept the Crusaders offthe plate despite allowingbaserunners in the firstthree innings.

In the fourth, MoellersophomoreKyleButz sin-gled and stole second andcame in on an error byJackson’s shortstop toknot the game at 1.

The Crusaders remainlocked on one run as SamMiller, followedby seniorTim Turner, a couple of 5-foot-9 PolarBear hurlers,put Moeller in a deep

freeze in terms of runs.A sacrifice fly by Tur-

ner and run-scoring sin-gle from senior designat-ed hitter Seth Vellucciput Jackson up 3-1 in thefifth inning. In the sixth,nine-hole hitter sopho-more Jake Pollatta sin-gles to make it 4-1.

In the final inning, sen-ior Riley Mahan led offwith a triple for Moellerandwas knocked in by fu-ture Kentucky Wildcatteammate Logue on agroundout, making it 4-2.Jackson held from thereas senior Mike McCanncaught the final fly toright to end Moeller’sstate title streak at two.

“It felt like we hadguys standing on secondand third all game long,”

Held said. “A tip of thecap to them. Their pitch-ers made big pitches andtheir defense made bigplays when they neededto.”

Logue gave up sevenhits and struck out six inhis final five frames ofhigh school pitching. Ma-han had two of the Cru-saders’ six hits.

“These guys had a fan-tastic season to go 24-5,”Held said. “Riley (Ma-han)washere threeyearsinarowandtherestof theseniors two years in arow. To get back up hereand the pressure that’sbeen on them all year, theexpectations. (They’re a)great, great team andanytime you get to the fi-nal four it’s a fantastic

season.”Because of their

depth, Moeller stands agood chance at returningto Columbus next year.Starters Josh Hollander,BryanSoth, JoeVranesic,Kyle Dockus and BaileyMontoya are juniors as isdefensive replacement/speedster Jordan Ramey.Starting center fielderKyle Butz is only a sopho-more.

“We return a prettyhealthy core,” Held said.“They’ll head on to sum-mer ball and start work-ing on their game. We’llget them next Novemberand get them ready for2015.”

The game markedMoeller’s 11th trip to thestate semifinals.

HILLIARD, Ohio — Insearch of its first Divi-sion I state title in schoolhistory, St. Xavier lost toDublin Jerome 3-2 in theOhio High School La-crosse Association Divi-sion I state semifinals atHilliard Bradley.

Jerome senior ShawnEwert scored the eventu-al game-winner with 3:47remaining in the thirdquarter.

TheBombers (16-7) hitthe post five times, onecoming in the final min-ute of the game, andcouldn’t get around thespectacular play of Celt-ics goalkeeper ChaseRose,whounofficially re-corded 10 saves.

After hitting the postwith45 seconds left in thegame, the Bombers re-gained possession with32.1 to play after a Celticturnover. St. X rushedone last flurry of offenseonRose, whomade the fi-nal save of the contestwith under 10 seconds toplay before hurling theball out of the St. X’s of-fensive zone and watch-ing the clock hit zero.

“Theguysplayedtheirhearts out,” St. Xaviercoach Nate Sprong saidafter the game. “It’s atoughwaytogodown,butwe went down fighting. Icouldn’t bemoreproudofthe guys. St. Xavier la-crosse is a class act.Sometimes it doesn’t goyour way.”

St. Xavier’s last la-crosse state title came in2000asamemberofDivi-sion II and coached byMark Howe.

TheCeltics opened thescoring just 1:52 into thefirst quarter on a SkylerBlake goal. Jack Caudillof Hyde Park had the an-swer for the Bombersless than twominutes lat-er, tying the score at onewith 8:32 left in the open-ing quarter.

Jerome took a 2-1 leadinto the half on a secondquarter goal by juniorJeb Comfort, before Wil-liam Holcomb of TerracePark scored for theBombers at the5:52markof the third quarter.

Thethreegoalsequalaseason-low for the Celt-

ics, which is how Sprongdrew things up.

“Wecameout in a zonedefense to slow downtheir offense,” the coachsaid. “Our goalie (T.J.Schwietert ofMason), wehad confidence in himandwepacked thezone inandhecameuphugewithsome big saves. Every-thing happened the waywe wanted except theshots didn’t fall.”

The loss ends St. X’sseason at 16-7 and bringsto an end the reign of 13seniors, seven of whohave been on varsitysince they were sopho-mores and contributed tothe program reachingtwo regional finals, win-ning one regional titleand reaching the statetournament for the firsttime since 2009.

Being a patriot is more than just saying soAsMemorial Day weekend

closed, I took some time to re-flect on the many signs of patri-otism that were evident andothers, which persist yearround.

My father, who served in theRoyal Marines and HomeGuard in the UK duringWorldWar II and just afterwards, wasalways impressed with themany signs of patriotism thatwe display in America.

The flags on public buildingsand on homes, the manymemo-rials in public places for thosewho served, and whomade theultimate sacrifice. It is, he felt,and I agree, a healthy way forthe people to remember thatsacrifices weremade to makethis country great, and a way to

make surethose whoserved knowthat the coun-try is gratefulenough to usesome of itstreasure to doso.

Such publicsigns of patrio-tism also exist

in the UK. However, Britainwas bombed and nearlystarved. In the 1970s when Iwent to boarding school in Scot-land, the train passed throughan old industrial and workingclass area which was bombed tooblivion by the Germans inWorldWar II. Bombed apart-ment buildings still stood in

mute testimony to the horrorsof war inflicted upon civiliansand their livelihoods.

No, the people of nearbyGlasgow do not need a lot ofreminding about sacrifice, painand patriotism. The civilianslived it and patriotic is differentlook over there. Not better norworse, just different. All patri-ots, however, share a love fortheir country and recognitionthat no country is perfect, buttheirs is worth their blood,sweat and tears, willingly given.

Such thoughts of real patrio-tism, and real suffering for agreater cause, brought to minda recent phenomenon which alldecent citizens should decryand publicly refute: the use ofthe word “patriot” to legitimize

anythingmost citizens wouldfind distasteful. Let me illus-trate.

You don’t like paying yourtaxes (and who does?)? Callyourself a “patriot,” form agroup with mythical links to ahistorically questionable eventand presto! You are “legitimiz-ing” your dislike and disrespectof legitimate laws designed tofund everything from defenseto Social Security.

As a legislator, you feel theneed to curtail civil liberties inthe fight against terrorism? Noproblem! Call the law takingsome of these away “The Patri-ot Act” (and who could voteagainst that?) and presto! Youare now free to listen to myphone calls and readmymail.

Are you a racially biasedbigot who takes the law intotheir own hands and wantseveryone in America to lookjust like you? Got it! Call your-self a “patriot” link yourself totheMinuteMen of theWar ofIndependence (true patriots)and now your little hate fest onthe border is wrapped in ourflag – which should outrage us.

So next time you see theword “patriot” used to describeanything, ask yourself: is thatthing/person/law truly patri-otic? Or is someone demeaningthe truemeaning of that wordto makeme think what they aredoing is acceptable?

Bruce HealeyCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

When the last strains of“Pomp and Circumstance” fadeaway this June, I will be endingmy 40-year career as a highschool teacher.

Just about everyone has anopinion about teaching andwhat goes on in our schoolsthese days. Some of these opin-ions are, to speak euphemisti-cally, rather fanciful. In reflec-tion onmy own classroom expe-riences during this wonderfulphase of my life, I’ve jotteddown a few thoughts I am tak-ing with me into the future.These are some thoughts aris-ing from four decades in thetrenches.

»Many of those who “knowall about teaching” eitherhaven’t done it or haven’t doneit very well.

Teaching presents a uniqueand daunting set of challenges.Over the years, I have taughtalongside a number of peoplewho entered the field of educa-tion after careers in other linesof work. Some have done amaz-ingly well; others have bombed.Those who have done well toldme that they had neverdreamed howmuch continuingeffort and dedication it took torun a successful classroom.

» There are some prisonerswho can’t be rehabbed, thereare some patients who can’t besaved, and (unfortunately)there are some students whocan’t be taught – at least not atthe moment you are trying toteach them.

Teachers and school staffsoften beat themselves up whenthey can’t reach a certain stu-dent or when a group of stu-dents rejects their efforts. Thatattitude is non-productive andunrealistic, especially given thedistractibility of todays’ youngpeople and the obstacles thatsome of them face. As Hamletsaid, “The readiness is all.”

» It’s more important forstudents to have a high opinionof you 10 or 20 years after grad-uating than to love you rightnow.

Sometimes the seed of whatyou planted just needs differentsoil to sprout andmature. Thepassage of time usually helpsformer students understandwhat they learned during theirtime with you. Often the harsh

realities ofadult life willlead them tothis re-assess-ment.

» Teachingis one of fewprofessions inwhich the pro-fessional isasked to workwith multiple

clients simultaneously.Howwould you like to walk

into your physician’s treatmentroom for that annual physicaland find 20 other patients sit-ting there for the same proce-dure? Enough said?

»A corollary: Size does mat-ter – class size, that is!

» Ideally, learning should bea 50/50 proposition with those inthe seats doing their half. Some-times the classroom is morelike a badmarriage in whichone partner (i.e. the teacher)must do 80 percent or 90 per-cent to keep things going.

My toughest teaching assign-ments were these latter ones.They would physically andmentally wear me out. Theywould cause me to question mychoice of career. I fear that welose too many well-intentionedsouls to other professions thisway.

»When teachers get frus-trated by the above, they needto remember that young peopleare still works in progress. Ifthey were already perfect, theywouldn’t need teachers.

That thought kept me goingonmyworst days.

» I havemet many admira-ble kids and their supportiveparents over the years.

The old saying is true: Veryoften, the apple does not fall farfrom the tree.

» If I had it to do all overagain, I would do it in a heart-beat.

Would I do some things dif-ferently? Sure. Would I trade itfor a career with greater world-ly “pizzazz” or more financialrewards? Not likely. It has beena great run!

What I learnedduring 40 years asa classroom teacher

Tom GeierCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Four years ago, I realizedthat I was the mother of in-dependent children. I don’tknow how it happened.

One day I’m needed, thenext day, I’m not. I foundmy-self wondering what I woulddo with the all of my vacanthours.

Getting a job was terrifyingto me. I hadn’t worked in morethan 20 years, so my skillswere minimal at best. If I hadto create a resume, it wouldsay something like, “I love toread, write, and take care ofchildren.” Not exactly P&Gmaterial.

That’s when I decided tocombinemy skills, and volun-teer as a reading tutor in theCincinnati Public Schools. Ibegan at a school in Price Hill,which was wonderful, but thedrive left much to be desired.So I quickly made the move toa school much closer to home.From the first day I walkedthrough the doors, I knew Ihad found the place where mytime would find a home.

Unlike the days of volun-teering at Indian Hill primaryand elementary schools, I wasa stranger at this school, anddidn’t know if I would be ac-cepted. I shouldn’t have wor-ried – I was welcomed withopen arms.

Volunteersare treatedlike dignitariesby staff aswell as (most)students. Sad-ly, many of thechildren havebeen disap-pointed oftenin their shortlives, andknowing they

have someone special thatcomes just for them on a reg-ular basis is incredibly mean-ingful.

I have hadmany studentsthese past four years, but myfavorite story is about a girl Iwas assigned to my first day asa volunteer. She hatedme fromthe beginning. She had beenneglected her entire life, anddidn’t trust anyone.

I have thick skin, so likeclockwork eachMonday,Wednesday and Friday at 9a.m. from September throughMay, I was there waving at herthrough the glass classroomdoor. And like clockwork, eachMonday, Wednesday and Fri-day at 9 a.m., she’d scowl at mein return.

One day toward the end ofthe year, I could see that I waswinning her over. I showed upat the glass door. When she

sawme, instead of a scowl, Icould see a smile on her face.It was fleeting and very faint,almost Mona Lisa-ish, but itwas definitely a smile.

The big prize came a coupleweeks later. She askedme towatch her play in her upcom-ing end-of-the-year basketballgame. Victory. For me, and forher.

Sometimes when I walk thehallways, I feel like the PiedPiper. Children I don’t evenknow ask if I can be their tutor.This isn’t because of who I am,but rather what I and all othervolunteers represent – a con-stant person in their life, some-one who will be there for them.I want to say yes to all thechildren, but sadly, that’s notpossible.

An hour a week seems likenothing to so many of us, but tothese children, that hour repre-sents so muchmore than time.I realize tutoring children isn’ta passion for everyone, but ifyou find yourself looking forsomething to do with that extrahour or so of time each week,the Cincinnati Public Schoolswould be happy to fill it. Itfeels good knowing youmade adifference in a child’s life.

June 5 questionWhat do you think about the

push for a federal minimum

wage increase to $10.10 from$7.25 an hour?

“Seattle recently made na-tional headlines by raisingtheirminimumwage to $15 perhour. $7.25 per hour has beenaround awhile and a steady an-nual climb to $10 or moreseems fair.

This should have been tak-ing place gradually all along.The highest point for purchas-ing power for theUSminimumwage was in 1969, when the$1.60 an hour minimum wagebought $10.10 in today’s dollars.

Had they tied the minimumwage to inflation the figurewouldbeat $10 ormorebynow.In 1969 US Congressmenmade$42,000; they now make$174,000 per year plus lifetimebenefits, lobbyist perks andPACmonies. Go Figure!”

SYCAMORE SENIORCENTER EVENTS

I’ve told you beforethat it doesn’t take muchto please me. And today, I

am very,verypleased.Ecstatic, infact. TonyPoe, ourcountybeekeeper,came outand placedfive bee-hives alongthe perim-

eter of the tree lineacross from the field. Sothat our new residentscould eventually have abountiful feast of honeyfrom clover, I told myhusband, Frank, not tomow the back where theclover grew until thebees settled in with fulltummies.

Talking about honeyreminds me that I need totell you the recipe for myhoney cider allergy drinkshould be made withorganic cider vinegar, notjust organic cider, asindicated in the intro tothe recipe.

Roasted radishesand carrots withthyme

I have been wanting totest this recipe but had towait until we could har-vest our radishes. Roast-ed radishes are a popularmenu item in trendyrestaurants, and the car-rots add a bit of sweet-ness. The roasting tamesthe radishes bite. Wegrow several kinds. I

used the classic roundradishes for this dish.

1 bunch small to medi-um radishes

6 regular carrots, cutinto 1/2-inch slices

Olive oilPalmful fresh thyme,

chopped or 1 teaspoondried thyme

Salt and freshlyground black pepper

LemonPreheat oven to 450.

Toss radishes and carrotswith oil, thyme, salt andpepper. Roast in singlelayer until tender, about20 minutes. Serve withsqueeze of lemon juice.

Tips from Rita’skitchen:

Radishes and theirleaves contain vitamin C,and are good for the kid-neys and liver.

Peas with prosciuttoSeasonal peas really

shine in this dish. Pro-sciutto is a ham that iscured and air dried. Thesaltiness of the prosciuttoplays off nicely with thesweetness of the peas.

Handful fresh parsley,tied

3 cups fresh peas1 cup water1/2 cup extra virgin

olive oil1/4 cup finely diced

prosciuttoBit of sugar1 clove garlic, peeledAdd everything to a

pan and bring to a boil,then reduce to a simmeruntil peas are soft. Re-move garlic and parsley.Serve with cooking liq-

uid.

Pineapple iceboxcake

I love going throughmy vintage recipes thatare treasures. Appar-ently they are to some ofyou, too. Roberta H., aNorthern Ky. reader,remembered this recipefrom her mother. “Sheserved this cake whenshe had bridge club whenI was young and it had agraham cracker crust,”Roberta said. Let’s hopethis one is what Robertaremembers. I can justsee this cake being en-joyed by the bridge clubladies!

1/2 cup milk1/2 poundmarshmal-

lows1/4 cup crushed pine-

apple, drained1 cup whipping cream,

whipped1/4 cup chopped nuts6 graham crackers,

crushedBring milk to a sim-

mer and add marshmal-lows until almost dis-solved. Remove fromheat and stir until marsh-mallows dissolve com-pletely. Cool. Stir in pine-apple, whipped creamand nuts. In an 8-inch or9-imch square pan, sprin-kle half of the crackercrumbs. Pour pineapplemixture on top. Sprinklewith rest of crumbs. Chillseveral hours beforeserving.

Thanks, EscoffierSociety!

Wow, was I surprisedwhen Chef John Kinsella,Director Les DisciplesD’Auguste Escoffier,shared with me that I wasgoing to be inducted intothe Escoffier 2014 Hall ofFame. John let me knowthis after we finishedtaping “Love starts in thekitchen,” my UnionTownship cable TV show.

The Disciple EscoffierSociety is the premiergastronomic societyestablished in France. Iknow the air in this soci-ety is rarefied, so I’mmore than grateful anddeeply thankful to beincluded, and for them torecognize my ongoingculinary efforts.

Ever come across asure-fire investment thatguarantees great returnson your money? It’s asales pitch that’s beenused many times and,unfortunately, manypeople have fallen for it.Many of these get-rich-quick investments turnout to be nothing morethan Ponzi schemes inwhich old investors arepaid with money fromnew investors.

In the Cincinnati areawe’ve seen such schemesover the years from aso-called ticket broker toa man who guaranteed a10 percent return onpeople’s money. Bothmen eventually ended upin prison, just like BernieMadoff, but not before alot of people ended uplosing tens of thousandsof dollars.

There are ways to spotsuch Ponzi schemes andRob Siegmann, of theFinancial ManagementGroup in Blue Ash, offersseven tips. First, he says,“Make sure you under-stand the investmentstrategy and how it work-s…If you don’t under-stand the investment,look for a different fi-nancial strategy.”

Second, check youradvisor’s credentials to

see ifthey’reregisteredwith stateor federalregulators.Most fi-nancialadvisorshaveearned theCFP, CFA,

or CPA designations.Siegmann says, “I wouldcall into question theknowledge of salespeoplewithout those respectedcredentials.” Check withthe U.S. Securities andExchange Commission tosee if any complaintshave been filed againstan advisor, rather thanjust checking with anadvisor’s happiest clients.

Beware of a hard sellbecause, Siegmann says,“A good value propositionshould sell itself. Highpressure tactics meanyour advisor is eager tomake a commissioncheck. Ultimately, a longterm relationship withyour advisor is best. Ifyou experience a hardsell, your advisor maynot stay with you for along time.”

Never write checks toan individual or theirfirm unless it is a largeand trusted custodian

like Charles Schwab,Vanguard or Fidelity.Siegmann says, “Yourmoney should be held inyour name. Also, thereare no benefits worth therisk of co-mingling yourmoney with others in an‘omnibus account.’”

Next, Siegmann says,“You want your money inan independent account,not in your advisor’saccount or with his or herfirm.” You should receiveregular statements froma qualified, trusted, in-dependent custodian.

Ask how the advisor isgetting paid. Some workfor a set fee or percent-age while others get com-missions based on theinvestment products theysell such as life insuranceor annuities. Commis-sion-based advisors canhave a place but you haveto be careful clients don’tget loaded up with expen-sive products.

So now, as many beginto invest again, you needto carefully pick a fi-nancial advisor.

Don’t fall for Ponzi schemes
