As the finish date looms clos-er, construction workers areworking on the last few tasks ofthe project.

KenwoodRoad isdown toonelane in each direction from theInterstate 71 entrance ramp toMontgomery Road.

Work on the median that willrun that length began Sept. 30,and will likely take about twoweeks tobecompleted, saidSyc-amore Township maintenance

superintendent Tracy Kellums.“This part is going to be the

most intrusive for the next twoweeks,” he added.

Kellumssaid thatboth theun-derground utilities forDukeEn-ergy and Cincinnati Bell arenearly ready for businessesalong Kenwood Road betweenI-71andMontgomery to connectwith, and that the curbs fromI-71 to Euclid Avenue are beingpoured as well.

The closures are backups be-cause of the center lanes beingclosed, but most drivers are ad-

justing to the changes.Chris Key, of Florence, said

that it seemed pretty typical forconstruction and he didn’t haveany problems.

JasonWaller,ofMadeira,saidthat traffic jammed up morenear the highway ramps wherethe lanes close, but drivers ad-justed to the traffic.

Kenwood Road construction nears endBy Leah [email protected]

As Sycamore Township finishes the last few parts of its construction onKenwood Road, traffic is a little heavier but drivers are adapting to thelane closures. LEAH FIGHTMASTER/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Police departments acrossthe area are keeping up withtechnology and upgrading theirTasers.

Within the Hamilton CountySheriff’s Department, the moveis from theX26model to theX2.TheolderX26,whichthedepart-ment began to use several yearsago, is being gradually phasedout and replaced by the newer,more advanced one, Lt. Tom

Butler said.The X2, which allows an offi-

cer to engage theTaserwith twotargets at once instead of one, ismade by Taser International.Butler said that a couple of thedepartment’s X26 models havemalfunctioned or broken, andwhentheyweresentbackforre-pairs, some cost almost asmuchto repair as newer, upgradedX2models.

Sycamore Township boughttwo of the newmodels in Febru-ary to replace two older ones

that broke. Butler said that ifthey wanted to repair the cur-rent ones, it would cost about$800 each, without a warranty,whereas new ones would comewith a full four-year warrantyand the equipment for about$1,300 each.

PRICE HILL — Two GreaterCatholic League rivals areteaming up to help feed thecommunity.

The ElderMom’sClubwillhost its annualcollection drivefor the HolyFamily/St. Vin-cent de PaulFood Pantryduring the foot-ball game be-tween Elder

and Moeller high schools Fri-day, Oct. 11, at the Pit.

Jen Dugan, president of theElder Mom’s Club, said this is

the seventhyear the clubhas partneredwitharivalGCLschool to collectfood and raisemoney for thepantry. Thisyear they areworking withthe Moeller

Moms’ Club.“We usually alternate be-

tween Moeller and St. Xavier,depending on Elder’s homefootball schedule,” she said.

“We typically have a goodresponse, however, the key isto get the other school activelyinvolved.”

Dugan said Lynda Mackey,president of the MoellerMoms’ Club, embraced theidea and is working closelywith other Moeller moms tospread the message.

“We both agree it’s OK to beGCL rivals on the field, butwhen it comes time to support-ing the community we’re GCL

strong,”Dugansaid. “Togetherwe can truly make a differ-ence.”

Moms will be at the gatesprior to the 7:30 p.m. game col-lecting donations of non-per-ishable items. Those whowould like to help can bringsuchfood itemsascannedfruitand vegetables, cereal, peanutbutter, pasta and canned meator tuna. Personal care itemslike toothpaste, shampoo, soapand toilet paper, and baby dia-pers and wipes are also need-ed.Monetary donationswill beaccepted as well.

Moeller’s Mackey said thateven though the two schoolsare rivals, working together tohelp the community is not onlypositivefor theyoungmenthatattend each school, but alsoreinforces the lessons theylearn at school.

“In Catholic schools, socialjustice is an important subjecttaught to the boys,” she said.“Anything we can do to assistin someone’s cause shows theboys a positive example.”

The Holy Family/St. Vin-cent de Paul Food Pantry as-sisted nearly 2,000 families inJune, July and August. Thepantryservedcloseto6,000cli-ents, of whommore than 2,700are children.

Dugansaid thenumbersarestaggering when you look atthestatisticsofhowmanyfam-ilies the pantry served, espe-cially the number of children.

“This is real life, and it’s inour back yard,” she said. “Wecanbe apart of something spe-cial.”

Mackey said that becauseMoeller students have theirown food drives within school,where they’re the one collect-ing food and donations, it’s

Voters in the communi-ties served by PrincetonCity Schools will fill twoschool board seats in a dis-trict that’s continuallyfaced with budget chal-lenges.

Current board mem-bersTawanaKeelsandLil-lian Hawkins will be chal-lenged by Sharonville res-ident Mary Cleveland fortwo seats on the Board ofEducation.

The candidates wereasked to weigh in on thebudget challenge with re-sponses not to exceed 100words:

AsPrinceton approach-es the halfway point of athree-year plan of sub-stantial cuts tobalance thedistrict’s budget, what doyou see as the most diffi-cult challenge, andwhat isyour solution to maintainquality along with finan-cial responsibility?

Q:Doyouthinkthebud-get cuts will impair thequality of education forPrinceton students? Whyor why not?

Mary Cleveland“The reality is that

while declining state reve-nues dictate budget cuts

we stillmust main-tain a highquality ofeducationfor all kidswithinPrinceton.We mustmaintainour focus

on what is best to assurewe build a better Prince-ton. I’ll work diligentlywithotherboardmembersto find areas where sav-ings can be made or moreefficient methods can becreated. I’ll strive to in-sure that thecommunity iskept informed by continu-ously reaching out tostakeholders includingcommunity leaders, staffandparents for their inputand support. I believe thatfostering a collaborativeapproach is vital.”

Lillian Hawkins“The most difficult

challenge is maintainingthe quality of academic

excellencewhile re-tainingqualitystaffthroughsalaryfreezes,when sur-roundingdistricts

can afford to pay more.Our only solution is to con-tinue to work with Colum-busandthegovernor tore-store TTP or readjustschool funding. The teach-ers and staff deeply careabout Princeton and thekids they serve. That careandcommitmentwill keepPrinceton on top. Admit-tedly, things will be moredifficult, but we are doingeverything we can tomaintain the PrincetonAdvantage.”

Tawana Keels“The most difficult

challenge is maintaining aquality curriculum and

learningenviron-ment forstudentswhile re-ducing thedistrict’soperatingbudget. Un-fundedstate and

federal mandates con-tinue to push school bud-gets to the limits. Prince-ton provides quality aca-demics with award win-ning programs in music,athletics and the arts.While budget reductionshaveplacedastrainondis-trictoperations, theschoolboard and administrativeteam have thoughtfullyimplemented budget re-ductions withminimal im-pact to students. Theboard has a responsibilityto taxpayers tooperate thedistrict as efficiently aspossible; identifying areasof reduction while main-taining a quality educa-tional opportunity for stu-dents.”

“Toget out of the sectionaland get to districts was a bigthing for us,” said Faimon.

Sophomore Morgan Bo-wen narrowly missed quali-fying for state for the secondstraight season. She shot a 75at the district tournament,two strokes short of tying forsecond place. Three golfertied for second and partici-pated in a one-hole playoff.Last year, Bowen finishedfourth in the district. The topthree golfers not on qualify-ing teams advance to thestate tournament as individ-uals.

SYCAMORE TWP. — He isblessedtobecoaching inanareawhere babies are given blan-kets, bottles, rattles and tennisracquets in thematernity ward.

Mike Teets is again theGreater Miami ConferenceCoach of the Year for guidinghis Sycamore High School ten-nis girls tomore titles and acco-lades. He shares the honor withMason’s Mike Reid.

He has also won similar rec-ognition for his work with theSycamore boys in the spring.

“It’s a strong team,” Teetssaid. “We’re lucky to have a lotof girls who play a lot. It’s help-ful when they’ve been playingUSTA tournaments and going toclinics and things like that.”

In the recent GMC tourna-ment, sophomores Alexa Abeleand Maggie Skwara and juniorSneha Rajagopal finished asrunners-up in first, second andthird singles, respectively.

Junior Jamie Pescovitz andsophomore Carolina Gao wererunners-up in first doubles andseniors Grace Kays and ElinaPanteleyeva finished as leaguechamps in second doubles.

“Just getting all the girls tothe final was tough because wewent with a different lineup,”Teets said. “They did a great jobmaking it there. I was reallyproud of our effort.”

Ahead is the individual tour-nament and the state team com-petition. At presstime, the LadyAves were hoping to move byMason to advance to the statesemifinals. The team tourna-ment culminates after the stateindividual tourney.

As for those individualbrackets, Teets mixed andmatched the Sycamore talentagain as he has in past seasons.

“We took Alexa Abele andMaggie Skwara, who normallyplay one and two singles andthey’re going to play doubles,”Teets said prior to the Masonsectionals.

That pairing made it to thestate tournament last year. Pes-covitzandKaysalsopairedupindoubles for a postseason run.That moved some Sycamoredoubles players to singles.

At Sycamore, doubles play-ersmight be top singles players

atotherschools.For thatmatter,the Sycamore “B” team oftencompetes and defeats staunchopponents in the Tristate.

“Sometimes the area isstronger and sometimes it’s notas strong,” Teets said. “Itchanges each year, but we’relucky to have some pretty niceplayers.”

Of Sycamore’s select seven,the man steering the Aves’plane is always optimistic. Hehonestly can’t recall the last

time one of his squads didn’thave some representation at thestate tournament.

His singles-turned-doublesexperiment with sophomoreAbele and Skwara paid off astheydefeatedaWalnutHillsduotomoveontothesectionalsemisandqualify fordistricts.OnOct.5, Abele and Skwara won thesectional championship beatingtheir counterparts fromMason.The Kays/Pescovitz pairing lostin the quarterfinals to a Turpintandem.

SIDELINES

Scott Evans of Montgo-mery jumped his way tothe medal platform at theNational Senior Gameshosted in Cleveland thissummer.

Not only did he garnerthe silver medal in themen’s 55-59 long jump, hewon second in the men’s55-59 triple jump. He alsoparticipated in the highjump (ninth) and the jave-lin (12th).

The National SeniorGames is a biannual eventthat hosts athletes over 50fromacross the country in19 sports. Athletes qualifyfor the national event atstate level qualifyinggames.

Evans took home threegolds at Ohio SeniorGames in April in the longjump, javelinandstandingbroad jump. He also wonsilver in thehigh jump - allin the 55-59 age group.

This wasn’t his firstcompetition. In fact, Ev-anshasspentfourdecadesin track and field.

“I started competing intrack when I was in fifthgrade,” Evans said. “Inhigh school (Greenhills), Iwas a high jumper. Fromthere, IwenttoMiamiUni-versitywhere I participat-ed in high jump, triplejump and long jump. Ididn’t pick up the javelinuntil later.”

Triplejumpishisfavor-ite.

“It’s a technically inter-esting event, a challengetodo it correctly, andquitefrankly, I am still better inthat event comparatively

to the others.”The triple jump, which

traces its roots back to thefirst modern games inGreece, is often referredas Hop, Step/Skip andJump. Just as in longjump, athletes run down arunway and hop off thetake-off board with onefoot. In continuous move-ment, the athlete mustland on the same foot withwhich they hopped off theboard, and then immedi-ately hop to the other foot.This is followedbya jump,usually with both feet, fora final landing in the sandpit. .

Evans joined nearly11,000 other senior ath-letes in Cleveland for thistwo-week event. Most ofhis training at this point isstrength and cardio whichhe often does at Court-House Fitness Center inMadeira.

“Iwill go to the local ju-nior high and do drillsmore related to the longjump and triple jump, andIhavea javelinso I’ll prac-tice that as well,” Evanssaid. “The difficult one isthe high jump. Mostschools do not leave theirequipment outside, exceptduring the spring.”

Now double the agethat he was at his prime in

track and field, Evans hasseen relatively little de-cline since he hit the 50mark.

“In the LJ and TJ, Ihave been staying fairlyconsistent since turning50,” saidEvans. “I actuallydid better in the TJ thisyear than two years ago.Javelin has fallen off a bit.I still have fairly goodspring in theHJ and prob-ably could get to where Iwas at 50, but practice isimportant to make surethe timing is good.”

His silver medal win-ning jump in the LongJump was 15ft 7.5in(4.76m), seven feet shy ofhis career best in college.Inthetriplejumphismarkwas 34ft 0.75in (10.38m),some 12 feet less than athis prime. Though thesemeasures show a declinethatcanbeassociatedwithaging, think about the av-erage 55 year old runningashardastheycanlandingjust right on a landingboard and propellingthemselves through theair 15 to 35 feet. A declinedoes not mean a defeat.

Asthenumberofplay-ers increased, the scoresdecreased. The programhas set modest goals andcontinues to reach them.

“We showedmuch im-provement,” said Fai-

mon. “Next year, we’relooking for that samekind of improvement.The fun thing about golfis it’s a game where youjust have tokeep improv-ing each year.”

According to Faimon,CHCA had a girls golfteam eight or nine yearsago, but it lasted one sea-son. The key to sustain-ing the program is tokeep the girls enjoyingthe sport. The girls en-joyed playing together,and are looking forwardto next year.

“All of the girls havecaught interest in play-ing a game that is forlife,” said Faimon. “Itreally is for fun. They en-joyed the camaraderie ofthe team.”

The team has wel-comed three beginnergolfers each of the pasttwo seasons. As they con-tinue to learn the game,the Eagles will continueto improve.

“We have great poten-tial,” saidFaimon. “We’rereally looking forward tonext season.”

A publication of

No reason to suffer chronic pain aloneSeptember was Pain Aware-

ness Month, a time to recognizean issue that affects more peo-ple than cancer, diabetes andheart disease combined.

According to the AmericanAcademy of Pain Medicine,more than 100 million Amer-icans are suffering from chron-ic pain – a staggering numbercompared to the 12 millionAmericans living with cancer.

Without visible symptoms,pain can only be described bythe person experiencing it andis related to a range of injuriesand illnesses. In some cases,pain becomes the disease itself.In addition to causing discom-fort, unmanaged pain can af-fect all aspects of a person’slife, from disrupting sleepingand eating patterns to causing

feelings ofanger, sadnessand hopeless-ness.

Pain canaffect work-place produc-tivity and as aresult, lead tounemploymentand troublemaintaininghealth insur-

ance. According to the Amer-ican Academy of Pain Medi-cine, pain yields higher health-care costs due to longer andmore frequent hospital stays. Areport from Johns HopkinsUniversity shows the annualcost of chronic pain is as highas $635 billion a year in theUnited States.

Pain management is a spe-cial concern for patients withlife-limiting illnesses, such ascancer, chronic obstructivepulmonary disease or heartdisease. According to theMe-morial Sloan-Kettering CancerCenter, about three quarters ofpatients with advanced diseaseexperience some degree ofpain.

Pain is not necessarily themost common symptom associ-ated with serious illnesses, butis arguably the most feared.Learning healthy ways of cop-ing with stress throughmoder-ate exercise, eating well andgetting plenty of sleep are allproven to promote relaxationand reduce tension. Considerjoining a local support group toconnect with other people who

understand the challenges ofliving with pain, or track yoursymptoms in a journal to sharewith your physician.

There are manymythsaround the treatment of pain,such as: pain medications al-ways cause heavy sedation,always lead to addiction, anddosages must always be in-creased for pain to be relieved.Perhaps the biggest myth isthat in order for pain to beeffectively treated, care mustbe received in a hospital set-ting.

Most medical treatmentsrequired to make a terminallyill patient comfortable can beprovided at home, reducing theneed for frequent hospitalvisits as the needs in a patient’scondition change. Hospice and

palliative care providers arespecially trained to addresscomplex pain, from adminis-tering medication and provid-ing psychological and spiritualsupport to introducing alterna-tive therapies such as massageandmeditation.

Pain does not have to beaccepted as a normal part ofthe aging process or living withan illness. In all cases, it isimportant to develop a strongnetwork of loved ones andhealthcare professionals whocan support you on your jour-ney of managing your symp-toms and enjoying a higherquality of life.

Attorneys for Legal Aid andthe Volunteer Lawyers Projectrepresent low-income personswhose cases often have merit,but might otherwise be lostdue to their inability to pay forcounsel and the resulting inad-equate self-representation.

The Legal Aid Society ofGreater Cincinnati was found-ed more than 100 years ago in1908. Its mission is to resolveserious legal problems of low-income individuals, promoteeconomic and family stability,and reduce poverty througheffective legal assistance.

Unlike the Hamilton Coun-ty Public Defender’s Office,which represents defendantsin criminal cases, Legal Aidprovides legal services in civilcases. Legal Aid attorneysassist their clients in a broadvariety of situations includinghousing, employment, educa-tion and domestic problems.

In 1982, the VLP was cre-ated in Cincinnati because thenumber of requests for legalservices outpaced Legal Aid’scapacity to help. A joint effortof the Cincinnati Bar Associa-tion and Legal Aid, VLPrecruits private attorneys tohandle at least two pro bonocases each year. VLP attor-neys and Legal Aid attorneyswork on the same types ofcases.

In housing, Legal Aid andVLP attorneys help familiesavoid eviction, maintain utilityservice, and negotiate repairsby enforcing tenants’ legalrights and building, health andfire codes. These attorneysalso provide representation tohomeowners so they can avoidforeclosure and save theirhomes.

In the employment arena,Legal Aid and VLP attorneys

help low-in-come job seek-ers overcomebarriers toemploymentsuch as theloss of a driv-er’s license orby the ex-pungement ofa minimalcriminal rec-ord. Attorneys

also work to secure unpaidwages or other benefitswrongly terminated.

Legal Aid and VLP attor-neys also advocate for chil-dren by obtaining medicalbenefits, making sure schoolsaddress special educationneeds and helping childrenavoid suspension or expulsionfrom schools.

The largest percentage ofVLP cases, in fact, pertains tofamily law issues. Domesticlegal problems of all types areaddressed such as divorce anddissolution, resolving custodyand visitation issues and se-curing protection orders. At-torneys also aid in probatematters, immigration prob-lems and adoptions.

Having seen many of thecases handled by Legal Aidand the VLP, I find that theparticipation of competentlegal counsel helps facilitate ajust and expedient result. Ifyou need legal assistance, theLegal Aid Society operates theLegal Aid Line. Each year,about 30,000 individuals con-tact the Legal Aid Line, andover 6000 clients obtain adviceand representation. Appli-cants may call 513-241-9400 torequest legal assistance.

Re-elect Czerwonka,Adamec to Blue AshCouncil

Our city council and city ad-ministration have managed tostrike a perfect balance.

Residents have fantastic fa-cilities and services, and busi-nesses are thriving. The city is

clean and safe, our schools aretop notch and bike/pedestrianpaths are springing up all overthe city. The new recreationcenter and Cooper Creek areterrific facilities. SummitParkbrings 130 additional acres ofgreen space.

Lee Czerwonka and TomAdamec are vital members of

the team that has planned andimplemented the progress weare all enjoying. They are bothvery knowledgeable regardingcity matters and easy to con-tact when there is a problem orconcern. Their voting recordproves that they strive to in-crease the amenities the cityoffers in a fiscally responsible

manner.Councilmen Czerwonka and

Adamec voted against allow-ing additional apartment com-plexes in Blue Ash. They feltthe current balance of resi-dents, green space and busi-nesses should not be dramat-ically altered.

I encourage citizens to at-

tend the Blue Ash City CouncilMeetings. They are all open tothe public and everyone (resi-dents, non-residents, businessowners etc.) is invited to speakand discuss their opinions,ideas and suggestions.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Oct. 2 questionCongress has passed an ex-

emption from federal law to al-low the Delta Queen to onceagain operate as an overnightpassenger vessel. Would youfeel safe as a passenger on theDelta Queen? Why or why not?

“I would feel safe aboardthe Delta Queen on the Ohioand Mississippi rivers. Com-pare the DQ’s safety recordversus theOcean-goingCarni-val cruise liners with thou-sand of passengers on board.Granted theDQ iswood, but atleast land is in site100 percentof the time and there are notany Somali pirates (IndianOcean), ice bergs (Titanic) orcowardly captains (Costa Con-cordia). It will be great to seethe Delta Queen back in theQueen City at the New Banks.Hopefully The Belle of Louis-ville will be here to race theDQ again for opening day. Iwill look forward to that over-head picture (from a blimp)and all the politicians theretaking credit. They may out-number the passengers. Gofigure!”

T.D.T.

“Iwould love tobeapassen-ger on the Delta Queen if thecost wasn't so exorbitant. Ithink it's great that the DeltaQueen is still in operation to

remind us of our past mode oftransportation that didn't in-volve cars.”

E.E.C.

“I would feel more safe onthe Delta Queen, for if were tosink, at leastyoucould swimtoshore. If Iwere to ridewith thegovernment, I think we justkeep sinking and no way to besaved.”

D.J.“As much as the Delta

Queen is part of Cincinnatitradition, I personally wouldnot want to spend time travel-ing on an old wooden boat.

“While I like adventure, theDQ isway past its prime and itwas taken out of service forgood reason, it is dangerous. Itdoes not meet federal stan-dards andMr. Chabot is tryingto make points with the oldfolks on the West Side by en-dangering them.

“But theDelta Queen is duefor retirement. Let her go.”

J.Z.

Sept. 25 questionShould college athletes be

paid? If so, now much? If not,why not?

“Division 1 (FBS) athleteson full scholarship get room,board, meals, tuition andbooks. These scholarships canlast up to five years; so far sogood. However the Scholar-ships can be withdrawn or re-newed on a yearly basis. Notall athletes playing a sporthave these 'full rides.’ Ath-letes on full rides are not al-lowed to work. They put inabout 30 hours per week ontheir sport plus going to classand studying. Many athletescome from homes that can notprovide spendingmoney; theycannot sell their tickets ormemorabilia. Many of thesecollege sports (football, bas-ketball) provide billions inrevenue to the colleges via TVpackages and tickets sales. Ihave no problem with theseathletes getting some reason-able spending money. Theirhead coaches make millions. Iam quite sure the athletic de-partments can spare this sti-pend. Go figure!”

Volunteer to help seniors stay safe from fraud

The seasons on ourlittle patch of heaven aremarked by what’s goingon outside in our gardensand what my husband,

Frank, isdoing withour outsideequipment.Right nowhe’s “salt-ing thingsaway forthe win-ter,” mean-ing he’sservicingthe tiller,

tractor, boat and lawnmowers for a winter restin the garage.

Our bell peppers havefinally ripened, so I wasable to add them to anantipasto tray I made fora friend’s rehearsal din-ner.

Easy antipastoNeed a stunning and

delicious appetizer? Anantipasto tray fills thebill. It is not only appeal-ing to the eye, but there’ssomething on the tray foreverybody.

Go to your olive barand ask lots of questions.I went to the EastgateJungle Jim’s olive barand was able to samplewhatever I wanted. Thiswill help in choosing theright ingredients for

your budget and guests. Idid choose olives withoutpits. Since prosciutto isexpensive, I bought a fewslices to garnish andfolded them over on topof the antipasto. I alsosprinkled a can of chick-peas on top. The nicething about this recipe isthat it can be assembleda day ahead. For thesauce, I use Caesar saladdressing with freshherbs stirred in. I drizzlethe dressing on rightbefore I serve it.

My favoritetwo-way brisket

Brisket is a cut ofmeat from the lowerchest or breast of beef. Itis amazingly flavorful,but tough, so slow cook-ing is a must. Either wayyou cook this – in theoven or in a slow cooker –the brisket turns outtender and so delicious.Serve with mashed pota-toes or noodles.

3 pounds beef brisket2 cups chili sauce1 cup brown sugar, packed1 cup beef broth1 very large onion, sliced1⁄4 teaspoon ground cloves3 bay leavesSalt and pepper to taste

Oven: Preheat oven to325 degrees. Combinechili sauce, sugar and

broth. Pour about half ofthis in the bottom ofroasting pan. Place bris-ket on sauce, fat side up.Distribute onion, clovesand bay leaves over bris-ket. Pour rest of sauceover. Cover and bake50-55 minutes per poundor until meat is fork ten-der. Remove brisketfrom pan and removebay leaves and wholecloves. Cut brisketacross the grain. Skimoff any fat from top ofsauce. Pour sauce overbrisket (or put sauce inrefrigerator overnight

and the fat will congealon top for easy removal.Then reheat with brisketin 375 degree oven, cov-ered, or in microwave).

Slow cooker: I like tocook mine 9-12 hours orso on low, until meltinglytender.

Perfectly grilledsalmon/seafoodfollowing the 70/30rule

Have the grill hot,lightly brush both sidesof fish with oil, and startgrilling skin side up with

the grill closed. (Or put adisposable pan over thefish). Leave it alone untilabout 70 percent of thefish is done on first side.You’ll know it by thelooks and also if it willrelease easily. This al-lows fish to form a nicecrust. Turn it and finishcooking. The rule ofabout 7-10 minutes perinch of thickness works,also. Start with 7 minutesand go from there.

Readers want toknow:

Honing steels: “Myhoning/knife steel doesn’twork anymore. Should Ireplace it?” Run yourthumbnail around thecircumference of thetool. If you can still feelgrooves, your steel is stilluseful. It is magnetizedto pick up microscopicfillings that come off theknife’s blade. It’s a goodidea to rub the steel witha cloth after use sogrooves don’t getclogged. Now unless thehoner has diamond chipsin it, most steels won’tsharpen a dull knife (theyrestore the knife’s bite bystraightening the micro-scopic “teeth” at the edgethat fold with use). Noweven if your honing steelis in good condition,sometimes a knifedoesn’t respond to hon-ing. If that happens, it’stime to get the knifesharpened professional-ly.

B4 • NORTHEAST SUBURBAN LIFE • OCTOBER 9, 2013 LIFE

These days scammershave taken to the internetto steal your money withfake emails, fraudulentwebsites and misleadingsales offers. While in-ternet scams are numer-ous, several consumersstill report receivingscams through the mail.

A Fort Thomas manwrote me about a creditcard offer he receivedfrom AmTrade Interna-tional Bank. It offeredhim a credit card with “A$3,600 Visa credit limit!Guaranteed!”

The man sent whatwas supposed to havebeen a refundable $900fee, but says he neverreceived the credit card

nor a pre-paid gascard thatwas alsopromised.The 74-year-oldman sayshe’s on afixed in-come sothe loss of

all that money hit himpretty hard.

Although he paid bycheck and contacted theFederal Bureau of In-vestigation and the Fed-eral Trade Commission,he was told nothing couldbe done to recover hismoney. Such scams arevery popular so remem-

ber never sendmoney tosomeone who promises toloan youmoney or extendcredit.

A Hyde Park womanwrote me to say she knewimmediately the lettershe received was a scam.It allegedly came fromPublishers ClearingHouse and used the com-pany’s real address. The$1.5 million she was toldshe won was anything butreal. She knew not tobother calling the longdistance phone numbergiven to claim her win-nings.

AWyoming womanreceived a letter tellingher she qualified for anaward of two round-trip

airline tickets. She sus-pected it was a scambecause there was noreturn address and theletter had bad punctua-tion. So she too was toldto call a phone number toclaim her prize, allegedlyvalued at nearly $1,400.

Better Business Bu-reau says this is just aphishing scam intendingto steal people’s personalinformation. This womannever entered a contestto receive this award oftwo free airline ticketsplus two nights a majorhotel.

Fortunately, just likethe Hyde Park woman,theWyoming womandidn’t call the number

and says she wants towarn others about thisscam. Many peopleacross the nation havereceived this letter. Oneperson who called wastold they first had toattend a timeshare salespresentation before theycould receive the ticketsthey won. Another personwho called was told theyhad to give their creditcard number over thephone.

One of the most fre-quent scams I’ve run intoinvolves criminals send-ing you what appears tobe a real check for thou-sands of dollars. You’resupposed to deposit thecheck, keep some of the

money, then wire the restto the sender. Unfortu-nately, many consumerslearn too late that thecheck they received inthe mail is phony – andnow they’re on the hookto repay the bank for thegood money they wired tothe criminals.

Bottom line, the mailis still full of scams thesedays so you have to be-ware.

The Jewish Federationof Cincinnati welcomesMontgomery residentRick Lefton as the organi-zation’s new planned giv-ing officer.

Before joining the Fed-eration staff in May, Lef-tonwas a realtor atComey& Shepherd, where, in thefive years since obtaininghis real estate license, heearned multiple awardsfrom the local and stateboards of realtors. Previ-ously, Lefton had dedicat-ed 21 years to his family’sbusiness, Provident Cam-eraShop indowntownCin-cinnati.

“I have always been a‘team’ guy, something Ilearned from workingwith my family from ayoung age,” Lefton said,

“and bycoming towork forthe Federa-tion, I’vefound my-self a partof an evenlarger fam-ily – the en-

tire Jewish community inCincinnati.”

Lefton, a native Cincin-natian and graduate ofWalnut Hills High Schooland The Ohio State Uni-versity, brings experienceasavolunteer leader inthecommunity to his positionat the Federation, havingserved on the boards ofboth the Mayerson JCC(1999-2002) and JewishFamily Service (2008-2010).

Danielle Minson, theFederation’s chief devel-opment officer, said,“Rick’s combination ofsales and business experi-ence, along with his dedi-cation to the community –and not to mention his in-fectious energy – makehim ideal for this position.We’re excited to have himon board.”

Lefton will work close-ly with Director of GiftPlanning and Endow-ments Jim Friedman. Lef-ton isresponsible forculti-vating endowment giftcommitments to the Fed-eration. Gifts to an organi-zation’s endowment – usu-ally made throughplanned gifts or estate be-quests – offer financialstability by supplying asteady source of fundsthat supplement annualfundraising efforts. Manydonors choose to endowtheir annual campaigngift, ensuring that theirsupport of the communitywill continue in perpetu-ity.

Lefton is married toMayersonJCCprofession-al Betsy Singer-Lefton,with whom he has fivechildren – 17, 15 and 12-year-old triplets. They livein Montgomery and aremembers of Wise Temple.
