fought primary victoryover Blue Ash City Coun-cilman Rick Bryan.

“As Republicans andIndependents in the dis-trict continue to abandonhis Tea Party-backed

campaign, and as he hasfailed to land the endorse-ment of any major group,Dever has called on hisColumbus puppet-mas-ters to help him spreadmore lies,” said EmmaDrongowski, deputy cam-paign manager for Kam-rass.

The Kamrass cam-paign sent out statementsfrom Bryan and Blue AshMayor Lee Czerwonka,denouncing Dever.

At the press confer-ence, Dever denouncedads sent on behalf ofKamrass as illegal cam-paign activity.

“I believe the voters ofthe 28th deserve the truthbefore they cast their bal-

lots in two weeks,” Deversaid.

Ads mailed by the Co-alition for Ohio’s Futuretie Dever to criminals’ es-cape attempts, saying“Dever’s plan doesn’t sup-port Ohio’s prisons.”

That notion appears tocome from Republicans’tax cuts and Dever’s sup-port for Gov. John Kas-ich’s proposal to eliminatethe state income tax. Kas-ich’s plan came with sug-gested expansions of oth-er taxes to make up forsome of the cuts in reve-nue.

Another mailer fromKamrass depicts Deverholding a rifle and callshim an “extremist.”

State Rep. Matt Huff-man,R-Lima, chairmanofthe House Republicans’re-election committee,said the Democrats wereusing scare tactics.

Republicans have alsorun questionable ads insupport of Dever’s cam-paign.They suggestKam-rass celebrates voterfraudbecause hewaspre-sent at a 400-person vot-ing rights rally wherefraudulent voter Melo-wese Richardson wascalled to the stage for a“welcome home” and ahug from the Rev. AlSharpton. Some Demo-crats at the rally decriedHilton’s decision to recog-nize Richardson.

Hotchkiss, whose brotherwas the Elder art teacherwho supplied students tohelp with the hauntedhouse andplay ghouls andghosts, volunteered hisartistic talents to help de-sign the haunt.

“There were 16 rooms

in that first house full ofall the classic monsters,Frankenstein, Draculaand the Wolfman, as wellasmummies and a talkinghead,” Hotchkiss said.

“Those early hauntedhouses were really lowtech by today’s standards.We used a few commer-cial Halloween masks,wigs andgrease paint, butthere were no ready-made macabre props likethere are at today’s Hal-loween shows. If youwanted something specialit had to be built.

“That’s what I did forthose early hauntedhouses. I built scarystuff,” he said.

McKeown said the sec-ond year for the haunt iswhentheeventreally tookoff.

Theysetuptheproduc-tion in an old house inReading, and he said theyraised $121,000 that year.Admissionwasonly$1perperson, which meant thehaunted house attractedmore than 120,000 gueststhatyear,hesaid.TheJay-ceesdonated themoneytobuild two community cen-ters.

“No one has ever donewhat we did that secondyear,” he said.

The Jaycees andWSAIputona fundraisinghauntevery year until the early1980s,McKeown said, andevery haunt was held in adifferent locationthroughout thecityand itswhereabouts were keptsecret until the morningof the opening.

Proceeds from thehaunts went to organiza-tions like the CincinnatiRecreation Commission,Camp Stepping Stones,

Teen Challenge Cincin-nati and Longview Hospi-tal. Over the years, morethan $500,000 was raisedfor charity.

“We did a lot of good,and nobody involved evertook a dime,” McKeownsaid. “We used to prideourselves on givingback.”

Hotchkiss said the1972haunted house on GrandAvenue in Price Hill washis first chance to designthe entire place.

“You entered a railedpathway through a verydark hallway with fog allaround. You turned a cor-ner and had to cross arickety bridge over Hell.We had torn out the floorin that roomand created atableau depicting my im-pression of Hades,” hesaid.

“You traveled onthrough rooms with psy-chedelic lights, mysteri-

ous coffins with flyingcorpses, mad surgeonsperforming unseemly op-erations on distraughtdamsels. There wasn’tanything funny about ourhauntedhouses.Wekept arecord of how many peo-ple fainted.”

McKeown fondly re-called one house that fea-tured a slide to get guestsfrom the third floor downto the second, where theythen got caught up in a gi-ant cobweb. He said thefirst night it opened peo-ple were getting stuck onthe slide, so he and someother volunteers went todiagnose the problem.

“Kids were peeing intheir pants as they wentdown the slide,” helaughed. “There are a lotof funny stories fromthose days.”

Hotchkiss said, in hisopinion, the very bestWSAI haunted house was

in 1974 on Victory Park-way near Xavier Univer-sity.

“Itwas theDollyCohenMansion and it was im-mense,” he said. “Thiswas my favorite hauntedhouse and I designed ev-ery room. Our whacky lit-tle Halloween hauntinggrew from a freaky fund-raiser to full-on horrify-ing Hollywood produc-tions.”

McKeown said the vol-unteers put a lot of workand effort into putting ona great production be-cause they knew the pro-ceeds went to worthycauses, but they all had alot of fun also.

“You had a bunch ofyoung married guys whowere looking for some-thing to do, and we wereall a little demented,” hesaid. “The haunted housegot that out of your sys-tem for the year.”

Heights Local School Dis-trict in Pataskala, Ohio,from 2008 to 2011.

According to informa-tion provided by KathyLaSota of the Ohio SchoolBoards Association,Princeton is looking for asuperintendent with “astrong administrativebackground in publicschools.”

Among the qualifica-tions sought are the abili-ty to raise studentachievement as well assupport for levies; an abil-ity to manage the districtfrom within and amongthe communities itserves, and experience ina multicultural environ-ment, among others.

School boardPresidentLillian Hawkins saidTucker “has a strong rec-ord of raising achieve-ment.”

Tucker, who leads aschool district nearlytwice the size of Prince-ton’s 5,800 students, hasexperience as a teacher,coach and administrator.

“We’re excited aboutthe prospect of havinghim as our new superin-tendent,” Hawkins said.“All of our referencechecks were very posi-tive, and the response hasbeen positive.”

The offer to Tucker

wasmade after the Boardof Education had nar-rowed the search to two.

The other candidate,David Copeland, workedas superintendent of theMadison County SchoolSystem in Huntsville,Ala..Hehadbeenappoint-ed in 2012 to serve an un-expired term and was notelected in June to con-tinue to serve in that posi-tion.

A news article fromTheHuntsville (Alabama)Times reported in 2013that Copeland had scoredlow on his annual evalua-tion, which rated the su-perintendent in 10 areas.

In the news article,Copeland attributed thelow numbers to his transi-tion to the job.

LaSota, who is leadingthe superintendentsearch for the PrincetonBoard of Education, saidshe and the board wereaware of the evaluation.

“It is the board of edu-cations’ responsibility tocheck references and re-search all aspects of thecandidates’ history andstatus,”LaSotasaid.“Dur-ing this phase of the proc-ess, as they were doingtheir due diligence, theboard was made fullyaware.”

OCTOBER 29, 2014 • NORTHEAST SUBURBAN LIFE • A5NEWS

The Heritage Presby-terian Church inMason ishosting the second annual“Shop for St. Jude” saleSaturday, Nov. 8.

The event is sponsoredby the local area SigmaChi chapter of the EpsilonSigma Alpha interna-tional service sorority insupport of the St. JudeChildren’s Research Hos-pital.

Great holiday giftitems will be availablefromwell-known vendorslike Mary Kay, The Pam-pered Chef, Tupperware,Tastefully Simple, evenbuckeyes and turtlecandymade by Sigma Chiof ESA and manymore.

“All our vendors haveagreed to give a nice per-centage of their proceedstoSt. Jude,” saidLovelandresident Susan Schenz, amember of the Sigma Chichapter here. She’ll bethere helping to servelight refreshments to theshoppers. They did thislast year and believe it’s agood time for people to dosome Christmas shop-ping.

“It’s shopping with apurpose,” Schenz said.“Everything we makegoes to St. Jude’s.”

St. Jude Children’s Re-search Hospital wasfounded in 1962 by actorDanny Thomas with amission to advance cures,and means of prevention,for pediatric catastrophicdiseases through re-search and treatment.Hisvision was to providetreatment for all childrenno matter their race, reli-gious beliefs, or ability topay. No child is deniedtreatment.

“It’s the children,”Schenz said, explainingwhy ESA and the SigmaChichapterchoseSt. Judeas their focus since 1972.“There’s nothing worsethan having your childsick,exceptnotbeingableto pay for the care. At St.Jude’s, if your child issick, you do not have topay, everything is cov-ered. They take care ofthese people.”

Schenz said the 23members of the SigmaChi chapter here comefrom not only Lovelandlikeherself, butall aroundthe Cincinnati area. TheESA sorority is an inter-

national service organiza-tion founded in 1929, buttheir main focus is toserve St. Jude. The statechapter forOhio is theonethat sponsors the St. JudeChildren’s Dream Homeeachyear.This small localchapter has been doingfundraising since 2005.

“Since that time, we’vemade close to $100,000 forout little chapter,” Schenzsaid. “Anything we raisegoes to St. Jude.”

They started with awomen’s fashion show in2005.

That first fundraisernetted about $1,300. It gotthem thinking about howthey could raise evenmore money for St. Jude.That led to themholding a“Bunko” fundraisingevent every year.

“We got to the pointwhere, at our highest lev-el, we made over $17,000on our ‘Bunko’ fundrais-er,” she said. “They’ve al-ways been held at Heri-tage PresbyterianChurch.”

It started with localchapter founder BonnieBeckett and Sharon Roll,both of whom Schenz metin a Multiple Sclerosissupport group. Theywerelooking for a way to giveback and focus on some-thing other than their ownillness.

Today they’ve gonefrom a women’s fashionshow, theBunkogames, toshopping with a purposeat the Shop for St. Judeevent.

Howev-er, marriage has from itsinception existed betweenman and woman. I am notinterested in disruptingtraditional marriage becauseit exists as a religious rite. I donot want churches and syna-gogues to be forced to rede-fine marriage by the govern-ment. That is a violation oftheir First Amendmentrights.”

Many of the Aviatorscoached by John Benham wereveterans of the course from lastyear. Raymond Berling, Wil-liam Schrantz, Martin Gonzalezand Miles Menyhert all trottedthe trail in 2013when Sycamorefinished ninth.

This year’s qualifiers werejunior Berling (16:22.15 at dis-trict), sophomore Kevin Law-son, junior Mitch Singstock,senior Schrantz, junior Gonza-lez, junior Kyria Graves andsophomore Menyhert.

“The three of them alternat-ed between them as to who wasgoing to take the lead,” Benhamsaid. “They share the wealth.We continue to try to work onthat mantra of brotherhood andfamily.”

For the Lady Aves, only sen-ior Rosie Menyhert returned toTroy looking to improve on a19:39.99 time as junior on whatturned out to be an off race.Herqualifying time in a third-placedistrict finish was 18:51.37 atVoice of America Park.

BLUE ASH — The summer of2013 was a productive one forUrsuline Academy cross coun-try runner Grace Kelly, or so itseemed. She was running wellin workouts and time trials andappeared primed for a solid ju-nior season. Then, for no appar-entreason,herperformancebe-gan to decline.

“I wasn’t really sure why Iwas running so slow,” Kellysaid. “I’m the type of personthatkeepsrunningandrunning.I didn’t realize how injured Iwas. I was relieved it wasn’t allin my head. There was a reasonmy times were dropping.”

Kelly had made a commonmistake among cross countryrunners: She tried to do toomuch.

“She really wanted to be sogood, but her body wasn’t let-ting her,” said Lions coach Ra-chel Bea. “When you do toomuch too soon in cross country,it can backfire on you. Sheworked so hard over the sum-mer that she was in tip-topshape at the start of the year,and she got hurt.”

In order to prevent a stressfracture or other type of injury,Kelly spent last season on thesidelines.Shethenembarkedonher senior year in the rightframe of mind and body. And,the proof is in the results.

Kelly is coming off a strongperformance at the recentDivi-sion I district meet at Voice ofAmerica Park in West Chesterin which she finished in secondplace, behind Mason’s MeaganMurphy.

“It was a performance that

spokevolumes,”saidBea, inhersecond season at UA. “It wasone we had been waiting andlooking for. She had been hang-ing around 19 minutes for awhile, butweknew therewas somuchmore there. And then shestepped out.”

Kelly, who crossed the finishline in 18:32.03, said of her per-formance at districts, “It wentalmost exactly as I planned it inmy head.”

It wasn’t the first time thisseason that Kelly had delivereda memorable performance.

On Sept. 1, she won the RyleInvitational in 18:58.30, the onlysub-19-minute time among 136runners. Three weeks later, shefinished first at the MidwestCatholicChampionships inDay-ton.

Kelly also finished second atthe Girls Greater Catholic

League meet and fourth at theSt. Xavier Invitational.

“I’ve been a huge drop intime and huge improvementsthis year,” Kelly said. “The keyis I took more time off aftertrack season. Last year, I tookoneweek off and thenwent full-bore. This year, I gave my bodymore time to heal.”

On Saturday, Kelly will joinher Ursuline teammates at theDivision I regional champion-ships in Troy, Ohio. The Lionsare hoping to earn a chance toimprove on last year’s third-place finish at the state meet.

Kelly said this is the bestshe’s felt physically at anypointin her varsity career. With herphysical ailments behind her,Kelly is aiming high this week-end at regionals.

“I’m not concerned abouttime,” she said. “I’m keepingmy eyes on top 3, and seeinghow close I can get.”

The season has playedout somewhat like themovie “Groundhog Day.”

Like last fall, to get tothe state semifinals,Mount Notre Dame HighSchool’s field hockeyteam had to defeat Ursu-line. A 2-0 win over Fair-mont on Oct. 22 put theCougars in the “eliteeight” matchup with thetop seed from Blue Ash.

The Lions’ No. 1 seedwas an issuewithMNDastheyhadalreadydefeatedthem2-1onSept. 25.Whilethe two Girls GreaterCatholic League schoolsshare common beliefs, onthe field it’s Hatfields andMcCoys.

“I would say Ursulineis our biggest rivalry infield hockey,” coach BethVonderbrink said. “Feelslike it’s a repeat of lastyear.”

Exactly one month af-ter they last met, the Cou-gars and Lions had a clas-sic confrontation Satur-day, withMNDprevailingagain 4-3 to earn a secondconsecutive trip to UpperArlington and the Divi-sion I state semifinals.Theywill play at noonFri-day against ShakerHeights at Upper Arling-ton.

According to the team

Twitter account@MND_FH, Mount NotreDame has gone two sea-sons undefeated in theSouth West Ohio FieldHockey League – all 20games.

Several seniors willnow have their swan songin Columbus.

Among those depart-ing from this year’s crewwho have led MND areMoriah Flynn, Sarah Pis-ciotta, Ashley Wittmanand Caroline Warming.Ally Benz has been ingoal, shutting out numer-ous opponents.

“We really rely on herleadership in the back-field,” Vonderbrink said.“Most of the seniors haveplayed four years. Theyknow what it’s all about,they knowwhat it takes tobe ready.”

Thus far, only one sen-ior will be playing in col-lege next season, and that

willbe inadifferentsport.Flynn has committed toplayforanup-and-cominglacrosse program at Mar-quette. Vonderbrink feelsher mental and physicaltoughness will suit herwell in the Big East.

“She’s very aggressiveand knows how to handleherself in competitive sit-uations,” Vonderbrinksaid. “We call her ‘TheBulldog.’ ”

TheMND coach wouldnow like to get the Cou-gars beyond the semifi-nals where they lost a dif-ficult match with Gahan-naColumbusAcademy1-0in overtime a year ago. In2004, Vonderbrink wasable to make a state finalas a player, as MND fin-ished as runner-up.

“They need to getthemselves one,” Vonder-brink said. “They’veworked really hard thisyear. We’ve had our ups

and downs, but in tourna-ment time, they’re readyto play.”

AsanemployeeofHer-shey, the head Cougar isprepared to shower her

pack in post-Halloweenchocolates should theypull the trick and earn thetreat.

As for next season,eight juniors will soon as-

sume leadership roles.Behind them is a juniorvarsity team that finishedsecond in the league, butwon their tournament.

Transformation ofAmerica

The Democratic Partysupporters were so proud. Iremember in 2008 , MichelleObama, inapublic speech, af-ter Barack Obama’s firstelection as president, saidthat “this is the first time thatI am proud ofmy country.”

ShesaidthatBarackwouldchange America’s traditions,beliefs, history and way oflife. Wow! Not too many peo-ple understood that the depthof Obama’s “fundamentaltransformation of America”includedthereplacementofafree society with a totalitar-ian system-type of Socialism.

Just think about it - theDemocraticPartysupportershave brought onto us no reli-gious freedom of choice forlate term abortions, taxpayersupported birth control,forced acceptance of gayrights as a special privilege,removal of Christian minis-ters in themilitary, use of theIRS as a political tool againstpolitical adversaries, dele-tion of the “no soldier left be-hind “ in Benghazi, Libya, ac-ceptance of pathological ly-ing by the administrativebranch, appointment of a po-litical racist hack as attorneygeneral, reductionofmilitaryforces and equipment to low-est level since WWII, spyingon news reporters, authoriza-tion and cover-up of high-powered rifles to a Mexicancartel, disregard of world af-fairsandfacilitating themur-ders of thousands of Chris-tians in the Middle East, non-prosecution of criminals ofcolor, permitting the world’sfinancier of terrorism, Iran,to develop nuclear weapons,

forcing the transformationofthe best health care systeminto a boondoggle rather thanimplementiong simple im-provements, forcing Ameri-ca to be an open border coun-try, thereby bankruptingstates and school systems, ly-ing to the population aboutthe seriousness of the Ebolaepidemic and not stoppingflights of Ebola-infectedcounties to theU.S.

I remember in the1930s inGermany that Nazi sympa-thizers followed Adolf Hitlerto their graves during theirtransformation of the Ger-man free society.

I see a repeat of historywhere the Democratic Partyfacilitators in America arefollowing Obama to ourdeaths.

Restore funding cuts toPWC

People Working Coopera-tively plays a crucial role inthe City of Cincinnati provid-ing critical home repairs andservices so that low income,elderly, disabled homeown-ers and veterans can remainintheirhomeslivingindepen-dently in a safe and healthyenvironment.

Our mission to help asmanypeople inourcommuni-ty as we can is now at seriousrisk. The City of Cincinnati,whoweconsiderasupportivepartner, has recommended areduction on PWC’s budget.Recent actionbyCityCounciland the Mayor has restoredsomeoftherecommendedre-duction. For this we are ap-preciative.

However, PWC is so effec-tive inmaximizing every dol-lar, I believe the fundingneeds to be restored in full.The organization is ranked inthe highest category by theCommunity DevelopmentAdvisoryBoard and is amod-el for organizations aroundthe country.

For every dollar the Cityallocates to PWC, PWC turnsit into $3 by creatively secur-ing matching gifts andgrants. In turn, the loss of ev-ery dollar is actually a loss of$3 to the PWC budget. Con-tinuing full financial supportof PWC is such a wise invest-ment by Cincinnati in Cincin-nati and awise use of the tax-payer dollars.

I am asking our city lead-ers to reconsider cuts toPWCand to restore all funding tothiseffectiveandefficientor-ganization. The city’s returnon investment with PWC issignificant but the impact ofPWC’swork in our Cincinnatineighborhoods and familiesis far greater.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

As the election approaches,there is a lot of talk about theeconomy and job creation. Un-fortunately, a lot of it is just that– talk.

In a recent column in thispaper, my oppo-nent spent a lotof time talkingabout a so-called biparti-san jobs groupthat he wouldform to talkabout job cre-ation. What hedoesn’t talkabout – anysubstantive

proposals to actually createjobs.

Here is what I think weshould actually do to spur jobcreation.

Because small businessesare the backbone of our econo-my, employing more than halfof the U.S. workforce and cre-ating seven out of every 10 newjobs, they must be the focus ofour efforts. As small businessowners in this community and

across the country have toldme, the key to job creation isremoving the obstacles thatprevent their businesses fromgrowing and adding employees.

The first obstacle we mustaddress is the difficulty manysmall businesses have access-ing capital. I have introducedseveral proposals that wouldhelp, at no cost to taxpayers,increase the flow of much-need-ed, private capital into smallbusinesses, thereby allowingthem to expand operations andhiring.

Next, we should help easethe regulatory burden on smallbusinesses.

Given their limited re-sources, it is particularly diffi-cult for small businesses tonavigate the labyrinth of bur-densome regulations comingout of Washington. To addressthis growing burden, the Househas passed several bipartisanreforms to the rule-makingprocess, including a proposal torequire federal agencies to seekregulatory alternatives that areless costly for smaller compa-

nies.We should work to expand

trade opportunities for smallfirms. Due to the complex mazeof trade rules and regulationsboth foreign and domestic, lessthan one percent of small busi-nesses actively export theirproducts.

To help boost small businessexports, I have proposedstreamlining the complicatedexport process and providingsmall businesses access to thetools they need to sell theirproducts abroad. Simply put,more exports mean more jobs.

These common-sense, bipar-tisan proposals will help pro-vide small businesses the cap-ital and resources they need togrow, expand and create jobs. Iam hopeful that after the elec-tion, we will finally have a Sen-ate that is willing to work withthe House to enact these criticalreforms.

Job creation should focuson our small businesses

Susan Sauer always a had atwinkle in her eye, a humorousstory to share and a kind smileon her lips as she reached out to

assist all sheknew. She wasgifted in main-taining lastingfriendships,crossing manylines and brush-ing many can-vases.

As an ardentart educator inthe SycamoreCommunitySchools and a

passionate visionary in the fieldof education, this teacher leaderworked tirelessly for eachchild, educator and taxpayer inthe Sycamore CommunitySchool District.

Susan began her phenomenalteaching career with SycamoreCommunity School District in1966 and retired as an art teach-er at Maple Dale Elementary in2012. First and foremost Susanwas deeply committed to publiceducation. She had an unwa-vering conviction that everychild deserved the best educa-tion. She ran art camps for sev-eral summers out of her home,took graduate courses in adap-tive art for special needs chil-dren, and taught workshops oninclusion of special needs chil-dren in the classroom. Susanhad a gift of delving into thepsyche of each child.

She was so gracious and

outgoing that shecharmed chil-dren. Her wit andwisdom couldonly be supersed-ed by the depthand breadth ofher contentknowledge. In thewords of former

student Kathryn Tenbarge:“Mrs. Sauer was a fantastic artteacher and human being whoexuded kindness, patience andcreativity. She forever instilleda respect for art in the heartsand minds of her students.”

Susan believed that the besteducation should be deliveredby a professional educator. Shesaw every educator as havingthe responsibility of doing theirbest and believed that they hadrights that should be honored.

She was the example of theprofessional educator by heractive leadership at the local,regional, state and nationallevel for 20 years.

She was a proponent of staffhaving the necessary trainingfor all new curriculums andbelieved that professional edu-cators should continue theirown education.

During Susan’s 16 years aspresident of the Sycamore Edu-cation Association, she was atireless advocate for teachers.Frommaking simple phonecalls to testifying at arbitra-tions, Susan believed everyteacher was entitled to theirrights and her representation

was always timely and profes-sional.

Susan was a leader in in-troducing the mentor system inteacher education. She servedon district, county and state-wide committees to ensure thatnew teachers would have atrusted collaborator, facilitatorwith whom to reflect. She alsospearheaded the new guidelinesfor teacher licensure in 1989.

Susan was an inspiration tothe many people whose livesshe touched. She accomplishedso much, but still it is herthoughtfulness, kindness andgreat sense of humor that arethe qualities that her manyfriends remember.

She will be remembered as awife, mother, grandmother andfriend, as an educator’s teacherleader and a child’s best friend.Even the little boy who couldnot remember Mrs. Sauer’sname and called her Mrs. Lem-on will never forget the timeshe spent solely teaching him inthe midst of the 22 other stu-dents in her classroom.

“Susan was truly dedicatedto her profession and leavesbehind a legacy of buddingartists who were inspired byher love of all art forms. Shewill be greatly missed,” saidAdrienne James, superinten-dent of Sycamore CommunitySchool District.

Oct. 22 questionTwo women were killed when

hit by a vehicle while walkingalong Old Colerain Avenue andEastMiami River Roadearlier thismonth. What precautions do youtake whenwalking?

“Walk/run facing traffic –and step aside when you seetraffic coming.Wear bright col-ored clothing (even reflectiveclothing) to assure you are easi-ly seen by oncoming vehicles.”

C.G.

“When walking along anyroadway I always, always, al-ways walk on the left sideagainst traffic. At least thatwillgivemea fighting chance to seeif someone in a car is driftingonto the shoulder and right to-ward me. If a person is walkingon the right side of the road, theonly warning they have of im-minent death or maiming is thefateful and oh-so-painful feel of

metal on skin and bones. Whenwalking in or near an activeroadway I assume that I am in-visible to the car and take thepersonal responsibility to getout of their way. If it is dark ordusk I wear reflective clothingor a vest. I also keep in the fore-front of my brain the simplefact that in a car vs. pedestriancontest, the car (or truck) willalways win.”

M.J.F.

“I walk a lot but I alwayswalk in daylight facing oncom-ing traffic. I move off the roadwhen a car approaches. I preferto walk on side streets wherethere are sidewalks. Walking atdusk or later scares me. Thereseems to be more cars (rushhour) and faster drivers at thattime of day. Go Figure!!!”

PUMPKIN PATCHES

I had nuts left overfrommaking caramelapples so I decided tomake some peanut brit-

tle. Peanutbrittle canbe a trickycandy tomake, andsome ofmy recipescall for acandythermom-eter alongwith theaddition of

baking soda, neither ofwhich this recipe re-quires. I will tell you thatthis peanut brittle doesn’thave the “snap” andsomewhat airy texture oftraditional brittle. Re-gardless, it’s sooo good.

I’m thinking I shouldhave waited until theholidays to share since itmakes a fabulous giftfrom the kitchen. Butyou knowme, if I make

something that is awe-somely good, I can hard-ly wait to share. Makethis now and save therecipe to make duringthe holidays. Betcha can’teat just one piece!

Simple peanutbrittle

Chock full of nuts. Ifyou want more of brittle,use less nuts. AdaptedfromMelanie Barnard’srecipe. As Melanie toldme “follow directionsand it works every time.”If all you have in the frigis salted butter, that’s OKto use.

1/2 stick unsaltedbutter

1/2 cup sugar2 tablespoons corn

syrup - I’ve used bothlight and dark and pre-fer dark

1 teaspoon vanilla2 cups saltedmixed

nuts or peanutsLine cookie sheet with

foil and spray it. Stirbutter, sugar and cornsyrup in pan over medi-um heat until sugar meltsand mixture bubbles andbecomes smooth. Coverand cook for a minute.Stir in vanilla and nutsand cook, stirring con-stantly, until nuts arefragrant and goldenbrown, about 5 minutes.Don’t overcook. Pouronto foil, spreading thin.Cool and break apart.Store, tightly covered, atroom temperature up to aweek.

Baked potatoeswith cheese saucelike Wendy’s

For the reader whowants to avoid buyingthese throughWendy’sdrive thru. Homemade isalways better! Here’s acheese sauce that’s soversatile. It’s good onbroccoli and other veg-

gies, too. Sometimes I’llwhisk in a squirt of Dijonor dry mustard with themilk mixture. Sharp ormild cheddar work equal-ly well.

And here’s a question Iget asked a lot: can youuse any kind of potatoesfor baking? Well, yes, butthe true baking potatoes,like Idaho, have morestarch in them and bakeup drier and fluffy. Andthey’re really the best, Ithink, for mashed pota-toes. Others, like red, willbake up more “waxy”and firm. My take on it?The bakers are best, butif all you have are red orother kinds, go for it.

4 nice sized bakedpotatoes

2 Tablespoons butter2 Tablespoons flourSalt & pepper1 cupmilk1-1/2 cups shredded

cheddar

Melt butter in panover medium heat. Addflour and whisk for oneminute. Slowly whisk inmilk and whisk untilthickened, about 5 min-utes. Remove from heatand stir in cheese untilsmooth. Add salt andpepper to taste.

Make a lengthwisesplit in potatoes. Smooshup at both ends to openand fluff up. Pour cheesesauce over.

Tip from Rita’skitchen: Broccoliand cheese stuffedpotatoes

Steam some broccoliflorets and add beforepouring on cheese.

Readers want toknow: are beetsgood for you?

You bet they are.

Boost your brainpowerwith beets. As we age,poor blood flow contrib-utes to cognitive decline.Research shows thatbeets can help increaseblood flow to the brain,which helps improvemental alertness andperformance and mayhelp prevent Alzheim-er’s.

Eat them roasted withred onions, olive oil, rose-mary and thyme, thendrizzled with Balsamicvinegar for a true feast.

When buying a newcar is it a good idea toimmediately buy an ex-tended service warranty?Many people do that, butif you do, you have to bevery careful about justwhat you are buying.

When John Scudder, ofHillsboro, bought a newcar a few years ago hesaid he didn’t think twicewhen asked about buyingan extended service war-ranty. “She asked, ‘Doyou want a 60,000-milewarranty?’ I said, ‘OK,

sure,’”Scuddersaid.

It wasonly laterthat heaskedabout theparticularwarrantyhe boughtand found

it was from an indepen-dent company, not fromthe vehicle manufactur-er. Scudder said he raninto problems when he

took his car into anotherdealer and showed hiswarranty.

“He said, “We don’taccept it.’ I went to mymechanic and he doesn’taccept it. Then he went toanother mechanic – butno one accepted it,” Scud-der said.

The dealer who soldhim the policy said therewas no problem, that heshould bring the car backto them.

“He said, ‘If youbrought the car back

here we would have ac-cepted it.’ But, what ifI’m in Florida? Mydaughter is a doctordown there. I would haveto tow it back 2,000 milesand it just doesn’t makesense,” Scudder said.

Scudder paid $2,200for the warranty and saidhe now realizes he shouldhave bought the manu-facturer’s extended ser-vice warranty instead.

“If it was a Hondawarranty they wouldcover it. I didn’t need to

use it because myHondaran great. But they saidbecause it’s not a Hondawarranty they won’t eventalk with you.” Scuddersaid.

Consumer Reports hasfound most readers spentmore on their warrantythan they saved in re-pairs. But if you stillwant to buy a warrantyyou don’t have to do soimmediately. You canwait until just before theoriginal warranty ex-pires to buy the extended

warranty.If you wait you’ll know

whether you really wantto keep the car. But beadvised, you will prob-ably have to pay more forthe extended warranty atthat point.

Blue Ash resident Ga-ry P. Zola, executive di-rector ofTheJacobRaderMarcus Center of theAmerican Jewish Ar-chives and professor ofthe American Jewish Ex-perienceatHUC-JIR,wasinvited invited to deliverthe Kutler Lectures at the

University of Wisconsinin Madison.

The lectures are spon-sored by Sandra and Stan-ley I. Kutler.

Zola’s Kutler lecturesare sponsored by the-Mosse/Weinstein Centerfor Jewish Studies at theUniversity of Wisconsin.

The first lecture, “HeWasJust Like One of Us – Lin-coln and American Jew-ry” will be at 4 p.m. Mon-day, Nov. 3, at theWiscon-sin Institutes for Discov-ery.

Zola is the only Ameri-can Jewish historian tohave served on the Aca-

demic Advisory Councilofthe Congressionally-recognized Abraham Lin-coln Bicentennial Com-mission in Washington,D.C.He recently complet-ed a volume on Lincoln ti-tled, “WeCalledHimRab-bi Abraham: Lincoln andAmerican Jewry.”

Zola will reconstructLincoln’s relationshipwithAmericanJewrydur-ing the course of his life-time and, also, he will ex-plain howLincoln becamean immortal beau idealand why generations ofAmerican Jews believehim to be an “almost cho-sen person.”

At 4 p.m. Tuesday, Nov.4, Zola will speak on “The

ReformJewish Im-pulse inAmericaand in Ger-many: ACompara-tive Analy-sis.”

In No-vember 1824, the first or-ganized effort to modern-ize Judaism in NorthAmerica began to unfold.

This religious revolu-tion took place in the Jew-ish community ofCharleston, South Caroli-na. Zola will delineate therange factors thatsparked this first effort tomodernize Judaism. Hewill also seek to compare

and contrast the Reformimpulse in Charleston tothe reformation of Juda-ism which preceded it inGermany.

"Professor Zola is oneof the foremost authori-ties on the history ofAmerican Jews,” said To-ny Michels, George L.Mosse Associate Profes-sor of American JewishHistory at the Universityof Wisconsin-Madison. “Ican think of no one moreworthy thanProfessorZo-la to deliver the distin-guished Kutler Lectures.We at the University ofWisconsin look forward tohis visit withmuch antici-pation."

The Radiologic Tech-nology program at UCBlue Ash College hostedmore than 85 kindergar-ten students from BlueAshElementarySchool aspart of the “X is for X-Ray” event.

The purpose for theneweventwas two-fold. Itgave students in the Ra-diologic Technology (RadTech)programatUCBlueAsh the chance to interactwith young children in ahealthcaresettingas theyprepare for clinical rota-tions at Cincinnati Chil-dren’s Hospital this sum-mer. For the kindergartenstudents, it was a chanceto learn more about thedifferent bones in ourbodies and theprocess forhaving an X-ray exam –none of the children actu-ally received an X-ray.

UC Blue Ash didn’t tryto take on all of the kids atonce; they were split intofour, two-hour shifts ofabout 20 kids eachMay 20andMay 22.

The college studentsshowed the kindergart-ners the X-ray lab, ex-plained how the X-rayequipment worked, and

provided examples ofbones. The little ones alsogot to do some arts andcrafts by making theirown ‘hand x-rays’ with Q-tips and glue, and theyplayed games that includ-ed ‘pinning the skull onthe skeleton.’

For the younger kids,“X is for X-Ray” was agreat learning experi-ence.

“Our kindergarten stu-dents really need hands-on learning and they gotthat with all of the differ-ent activities,” said TamiMiller, a teacher at BlueAsh Elementary. “Theywere also excited to cometo the college and see thebig kids.”

Three students fromthe Early Childhood Edu-cationprogramat theUni-versity of Cincinnati inClifton also participatedin the program. They de-veloped some of the dif-ferent activities for thechildren and helped su-pervise during the event.

The clinical rotationsthat UC Blue Ash RadTech students will do atChildren’s Hospital arejust part of their educa-tion and training. Alongwith rigorous academicsin the classroom, theycomplete clinical rota-tions at several other hos-pitals in the area beforethey can earn their asso-ciate degree.

classic Yiddish horror movie“The Dybbuk.” The screeningwill take place at 6:30 p.m.Wednesday, Oct. 29, as part ofNorthern Hills’ pizza/movienight series.

In the film, boundaries sep-arating the natural from thesupernatural dissolve as ill-fatedpledges, unfulfilled passions,and untimely deaths ensnaretwo families in a tragic labyrinthof spiritual possession. Based onthe play by S. An-ski, the filmwas shot on location in Polandin 1937, and evokes the culturalrichness of both shtetl communi-ties and Polish Jewry on the eveof World War II.

As Rabbi David Siff explained,“The Dybbuk is about a youngwoman possessed by a wander-ing spirit in need of an exorcism.Filmed almost 40 years beforeThe Exorcist with none of thetechnology, it’s far more spooky.Come and enjoy.”

A professor at the Uni-versity of Cincinnati BlueAsh College is being hon-ored for his work in grav-itation with an interna-tional award.

Cenalo Vaz, an asso-ciate professor of physicsat UC Blue Ash, was re-cently recognized as partof the 2014 Gravity Re-search FoundationAwards for his essay ongravitational theory,“Black Holes as Gravita-tional Atoms.”

Hewonsecondplace inthe international competi-tion,whichrecognizedthetop five essays.

To give a sense of thelevel of prestige associat-ed with the Gravity Re-search Foundationawards, the co-author ofthe winning essay, FrankWilczek, is a Nobel Laure-ate.

“I am pleased and ex-tremely humbled to be inthe company of the win-ners of this prestigiousaward,” Vaz said.

In his essay, Vazproved a recent conjec-ture by famous physicist,Stephen Hawking, thatblackholes, as traditional-ly conceived, may not ex-

ist. Whatends upforming in-stead is anew kindof object, a“gravita-tionalatom” or“dark

star.”The traditional view is

that a black hole formswhen a star eventuallycollapses into infinitedensity, surrounding it-self with a region fromwhich no light may es-cape.

“Professor Hawkingproposed without proofthat this view is not cor-rect because quantummechanics will preventmatter from collapsingbeyond a particularpoint,” Vaz said. “In theessay I present a modelthat confirms this propos-al.”

Theessay incorporatesthe results of three yearsof research on the topic,but Vaz has been re-searching black holes ingeneral formore than twodecades. Even prior tothis award he has been anoted expert in his field.

He has presented his re-search at conferencesaround the world and haspreviously placed in theGravity Research Foun-dation Awards (fourthplace in 2004 and fifth in2009).

Along with continuingto teach physics at UCBlue Ash, Vaz’s futureplans include more re-search on gravitationalcollapse and a new look atquantum gravity.

“No evidence for quan-tumgravityhaseverbeendetected, although weknow itmust play a role invery extreme situations.Itwouldbereallyexcitingto uncover some accessi-ble phenomenologicalconsequences of this the-ory.”
