In Deer Park driversride around on one of topconcerns for residentsand city government.

When voters go to thepolls in November, they’llbe voting for City Councilcandidateswhowill be re-sponsible for repairingthe city’s roads.

Three seats are up forelection thisyear.Currentcouncil members JohnDonnellon, Jeff Hall andChris Hedger are seekingre-election for their seatson council, while they’llbe challenged by formercouncil member ShawnGavin.

Hedger said that forher and anyone else oncouncil, repairing citystreets is a top priority.

While about 3.3 milesof roads in Deer Parkhave already been re-paved since 2007, severalother streets in the citystill need to be fixed.

She added that insteadof paying for the repairs

entirely out of pocket,Deer Park is looking forgrants to fund parts of theprojects.

“We’re continuing tolook for funding for roadprojects without going tothe taxpayers formoney,”Hedger said.

“... We’re a bedroomcommunity, so we need tothink outside of the box tobring additional incomeinto Deer Park.”

Funding for roads, es-pecially outside of taxes,is a priority for Jeff Hall.He said that continuing tolook for grants is neces-sary, and added he hopesthat the city will receivemore in the near future.

“We’ve been able to geta lot of outside grantmon-ey, and attempted to getRedmont (Avenue) re-paired this year,” he said.“... I have every reason tohope we’ll be able to ac-complish that next year.”

Donnellon said thatthose on council will needtowork togetherasa teamto repair city roads asquickly as possible.

“We’ve got tocontinue to getfunding for thestreets,” he said.“A lot are in dis-repair, and coun-cil has to worktogether to getthings done.”

Gavin saidthat if elected, he wouldengage city council mem-bers in public discussionabout Deer Park’s majorissues to create resolu-tions.

“A priority of minewould be to convene thelegislative and financecommittee (of council) to

find workable solutionsfor the budget,” he said.“... Families have come toDeer Park to raise theirfamilies. We want to at-tract new, young resi-dents to Deer Park.”

Recently, Deer Parkcouncil agreed to pairwith Sycamore Townshipon the joint economic de-

velopment zone,which township voterswill decide on duringNovember’s election.

Gavin said that ifthe zone is approved,thecitywill need toap-point a qualified taxcommissioner to han-dle collecting taxes

from employees in thezone.

Although no one filedto run for the position oftreasurer, resident SteveTodd is campaigning as awrite-in candidate for theseat.

Todd said that the bud-get and road repair is the

most important issues tohim, as well as bringingnew businesses into thecity, and electing a newperson to officewill bringin new ideas.

“I’m a new face, andhopefully I have somefresh ideas,” he said. “Thecurrent administrationhas been there awhile andI think it’s a little stale, soI’ll try to change thingsup.”

Roads priority for Deer Park council candidatesBy Leah [email protected]

Donnellon Gavin Hedger

With a school tax-hikeproposalontheballotNov.5, the race for threeschoolboardspots inDeerPark is heating up.

Five candidatesarevying for threeopen school boardseats.On theballotare incumbentsTerri Morrisseyand Steve Smith,and challengersPeggy Bosse, Ka-ren Fumarola andJustin Binik-Thomas.

Current schoolboard member Li-sa Hodge is notseeking re-elec-tion.

Voters will alsodecide whether toapprove the dis-trict’s 7.9-mill tax-hike proposal,which has becomean issue in theracefor the candidatesas well.

All candidatessaid a priority forthem was to makesure the schoolsare fiscally re-sponsible whilemaintaining a lev-el of successfuleducation for stu-dents.

However, Bi-nik-Thomas saidthat after lookingat the five-yearforecast at dis-trict “coffee” ses-sions the tax-hikeproposal is pre-mature and thatthere will be talksof another taxhike in the nextseveral years.

“I looked at thebudget and many lineitemsare increasinghigh-er than inflation, so I hopethey’ve done the neces-sary stewardship to knowwe have the best vendorson those lines,” he said.

Bosse, Morrissey andSmith said they supportputting the tax-hike pro-posal on the ballot thisyear because if it passesin November the district

can begin collecting thetaxes earlier.

“In the end, this is themore conservativeway togo for funding,” Smithsaid.

Other candidates saidit’s also necessaryto keep the schoolsfinancially sound,while implement-ing the state’s newstandards.

In the comingyears Ohio publicschool districtswilladd Common Corestandards, a re-vamped reportcard and new as-sessments of stu-dents, faculty andadministrators,which come un-funded.

That wasn’t loston Morrissey, whosaid it’s exciting tosee the newchanges in curricu-lum to challengestudents more, butrealizes publicschools receivemuch of their fund-ing with taxpayerdollars.

“It’s been eightyears since theschools passed alevy,” she said. “Inthe 20-ish yearsI’ve lived in DeerPark the schoolshave done a goodjob with how theyspend tax dollars.”

Bosse said thateducating studentsfor the future is apriority for schoolstoday.

“We need to pre-pare students to becollege and or ca-reer ready,” shesaid.

Fumarola felt thesame, and that the futureof the district, as well asstudents down the road, isdependent upon the ac-tions taken now.

“Times are hard andmoney is tight, but the su-perintendent (Jeff Lang-don) and treasurer (Cyn-thia Stubenvoll) are doingthe best they can to keepcosts as low as possible..”

Indian Hill Exempted Vil-lage School District AssistantSuperintendent Mark Aultsaid thedistrict is preparing toimplement new state curricu-lum standards.

Referred to as “CommonCore Standards,” school dis-tricts are gearing up for state-mandated changes in severalcontent areas starting in 2014-2015.

Content standards in math-ematics, English languagearts, science and social studieswill change,with likely adjust-ments in the way the curricu-

lum is taught aswell as in how itis assessed viatesting.

A lot of thesechanges focuson preparingstudents for col-lege and theworkforce.

“We’re trying to look at thebest way to address (these)standards,” said Ault.

“A lot of myths (are) outthere.”

To help provide some clari-fication staff members, in-cluding Indian Hill Elemen-tary School Principal MelissaStewart, Indian Hill Middle

School AssistantPrincipal Bridg-ette Ridley andseventh-grademath teacherAshley Morri-son, provided anupdate duringthe Sept. 10school board

meeting.They focused specifically

on the areas of English lan-guage arts and mathematics.

“It’s not one size fits all in-corporating thisnewstructureof learning into the class-room,” said Stewart.

Stewart said the Englishcurriculum will have a strong

focus on reading, writing andvocabulary.

Students will also be askedto tap into their personal expe-rienceswhenwriting, shesaid.

Morrison said the newmathcurriculum will involve moreclassroom discussion and col-laboration with peers to solveproblems.

Shesaidmathproblemswillalsobemore“open-ended”andthat students will be encour-aged to come up with “cre-ative” solutions in solvingthem.

“Many of the things weteach (already) align withCommon Core,” said Morri-son.

If someone needs aparamedic at KenwoodTowneCentre this holidayseason most likely therewon’t be one far away.

Sycamore TownshipFire Chief Perry Geromesaid he’s putting an on-du-ty paramedic at the mallentrance next to theCheesecake Factory dur-ing the holiday season.Starting on Black Friday,

the paramedic will be at atable with a radio andsome emergency equip-ment during peak hours,he said.

Those days will likelybe Friday, Nov. 29, Satur-days, Sundays, the weekbefore Christmas andThursday, Dec. 26, Ge-rome said. He added he’sstill looking at data to de-termine when peak hoursfor runs to themall are, aswell as where themost in-cidents occur there.

Gerome said he hopedthat having someone al-ready in themall and easi-ly accessible will cut re-sponse times down forpossible emergencies. Headded that the paramed-ics on duty would rotateevery few hours, and noadditional shifts arebeingadded to put the paramed-ic at the mall.

Trustees said havingsomeone on duty at themall during busy hours isa good idea.

Gerome said he spoketo mall management, andreceived a positive re-sponse.

INDIAN HILL — Indian HillHigh School girls tennis coachGary Samuels will have athree-day weekend in the Co-lumbus area next weekendthanks to the net results of hissquad.

The Lady Braves qualifiedMaren McKenna in singlesand the doubles teams ofMer-edith Breda/Caroline Ander-sen and Alex Skidmore/Abi-gail Singer to the district tour-ney. On Oct. 10, McKenna andSkidmore/Singer won openingmatches, but lost in the nextround. However, Breda/An-dersen defeated doublesteams fromNorthwestern andCHCA to move to the semifi-nals, sealing an invite to thestate gathering Oct. 18.

The Division II state tour-ney runs the first two days,then Sunday, Oct. 20, is theOhio Tennis Coaches Associa-tion state team tournament.

Indian Hill is back again asa team semifinalist. Last year,they lost toLexington andbeatHathaway Brown to finishthird.

This season, Indian Hill’sopponent will be ColumbusAcademy in Reynoldsburg.

“We lost to them last yearduring the regular season,”Samuels said. “I believe it’s go-ing to go to the wire. I believeit’ll be a 3-2 match.”

In the meantime, the teameffort has been on hold as thefive Lady Braves focused onthe Division II district tourna-ment in Mason. That presentsadilemma inpreparing for thelong weekend in Columbus.

“Wehad five people gettingready for districts,” Samuelssaid. “The singles people real-ly need to be practicing sin-gles.Theyhave tobe ready fordoubles in the individual tour-nament and then singles.”

Skidmore and Singer were

doubles players all season, butBreda and Andersen were theNo.1andNo. 3 singles players,respectively.

“They’re both strongteams,” Samuels said. “Iwasn’t sure they (Breda/An-dersen)wouldbegooddoublesplayers and they did surpriseme at sectionals. They playedgreat. I was pleasantly sur-prised.”

Fortunately for Samuels,Breda and Andersen haveshared the court before.

“I think it’seasybecausewehave really good chemistry,”Breda said. “We played in abunch of junior tournamentsbefore. We play pretty similarandwecan feedoff eachother.It’snotashardas it iswithany-one else.”

The pair, along with Mc-Kenna, were all freshmen lastseason in singles, but theyhave also had some accoladesas duo.

“We played a national tour-namenttwoyearsago,”Ander-sen said. “We did really well.We have good communicationwhen we play together.”

“Next year there’s more tocome,” Samuels said. “There’sa couple good ones coming up.Plus, out of 12 varsity playersonly one graduates.”

KENWOOD — ArchbishopMoeller High School may fea-ture a variety of sports that areperennial champions or leaguecontenders, but there is oneuni-versal language spoken onMontgomery Road.

Football. The statue ofGerryFaust governs all who walk theback areas of the Moeller ath-letic fields and even those thathave to practice elsewhere.

Even 27-year-veteran golfcoachRickBohnepreachesput-ting and pitching in pigskinterms. Asked about coachinghis young Crusaders, Bohnequotes Bo, as in (late Michigancoach) Schembechler.

“He said the main goal of acoach is to help his playersreach their dreams,” Bohnesaid. “That’swhy every year it’sexciting and also nerve-wrack-ing. I get nervous for thesekids.”

At a pre-district practice attheGolf Center at Kings Island,Bohne spoke to his men like

Schembechler. He emphasizedteam.Hesaid this iswhat all thepractice and running and condi-tioning was for.

Then, instead of a leisurelypractice round,Moeller’smash-ersworked on their short game.They chipped, hit sand wedges

and methodically putted.The kids are generally bat-

tle-tested. Be it football, basket-ball, baseball, golf, tennis, chessor shooting paper wads into thegarbage, expectations are highat Moeller.

“They know it’s a two-edgedsword,” Bohne said. “You geteverybody’s best shot.”

At the Cincinnati East sec-tional atGlenview,Oct.1,Moell-er took everybody’s best shotand won the championship,besting a good Loveland teamby 10. They were led by seniorMitch Lamping, who was co-medalist with Loveland’s ColinJoseph at 71.

Lamping is the lone senior onthesquad that includes three ju-niors and a sophomore.

“He’s one that we thoughtcoming back was our three orfour man,” Bohne said. “He’sjusthadanunbelievableseason.He’s exceeded our expecta-tions.”

Behind Lamping at section-als were sophomore Jake Fox,

INDIAN HILL — Hisname means “man who isat peace” in Hindi.

“I like to say (I am),”said Cincinnati CountryDay School senior golferIshan Ghildyal. “I defi-nitely try to maintain be-ing at peace. I’m not al-ways, but I try.”

It’s been a long jour-ney. The Kenwood resi-dent arrived in Cincinnatiat age 9 after HurricaneKatrinadevastatedhisna-tivehometownofNewOr-leans.

“I really remember thesound of the rain and thewind,” he said.

Back in the delta, Ghil-dyal was more interestedin baseball, but would oc-casionally spend timewith his dad on the golfcourse chipping and put-ting.

He lost his passion forbaseball when he discov-eredhewasprettygoodatgolf. Pretty good? Howabout 2013 Miami ValleyConference player of theyear? How about compet-ing for the third time intheDivision III state tour-nament Oct. 11 and 12?

“He has a mental sidenotmanygolfersI’veevercoached has,” said Indi-ansheadcoachGregFaul-haber. “If he has a badhole, hewill vent tomefor30 seconds and then it’sgone. Just gone. He canfocus on the next shot, thenext hole and get it done.

“He’s got some grit.That’s the best way to putit. He’s got another gearwhen it comes to golf andmaking a swing. Thatcomes with a lot of prac-tice, of course.”

But no longer with anyworry about the result.

“Before this year I

used to go out with scoresinmindand Imightnothitthem and I’d be upset,”Ghildyal said. “I play nowmore for fun. I don’t wor-ry about the score. I canconcentrate on every shotand enjoying it for what itis.”

Faulhaber said that at-titude enabledGhildyal toserve as a coach on thecourse.

“What (the youngerplayers) see hopefully ishow he practices, what hedoes to prepare to win,”Faulhaber said. “Even ifthey listen to half of whathe tells them, they’ll pickup an awful lot.

“Ishan was as much ateammate as hewas an in-dividual golfer. He askedatdifferent times throughthe year to play with dif-ferent guys, to work withthem on the course on dif-ferent parts of theirgame, yet he could still fo-

cus on his own swing andbe as good as he’s been.”

Which might lead oneto think college golf isGhildyal’s future.

Not necessarily. Heplans to return to a resur-rected New Orleans andTulane University, wherehe wants to study busi-ness administration andphilosophy.

“Business is such atechnical side of things,”he said. “I can really usesomething less technicalto help me appreciate it. Ireally do find it interest-ing how thinking hasevolved over time. Philos-ophygivessomecontext.”

Like golf.“I honestly haven’t

thought about (playing incollege),” Ghildyal said.“My only apprehension isit might turn into work. Idon’t want that. I want tokeep it enjoyable.”

A publication of

At the White House onMay8 of this year, First LadyMi-chelle Obama presented the“National Medal for Museumand Library Service” to thePublic Library of Cincinnatiand Hamilton County.

This medal celebrates in-stitutions that make a differ-ence for individuals, families,and communities, specificallythose who demonstrate in-novative approaches to publicservice and exceed the expect-ed levels of community out-reach.

On Nov. 5 you willbe asked if this is aworthy achievement.

Issue 1 is a renewalof the current librarylevy. It will not raiseyour taxes and is actu-ally a reduction over-all of what you havebeen contributingover the last fouryears.

Our Main Libraryis one of the top 10 busiestlibraries in the country. We arerated a 4-Star Library by Li-

brary Journal.One-third of the li-

brary budget is at stake,and is the only source oflocal funding. A $17million dollar cut peryear for the next 10years will mean a reduc-tion in hours and staff.

Patrons who use thelibrary’s computers andonline services to findjobs, search for data

and do school work will belimited in their access. Thesummer reading programs will

also be affected.In 2011, our library loaned

17.6 million items throughoutits 41 branch system. 88 per-cent of households in HamiltonCounty have at least one li-brary cardholder, with 500,000cardholders countywide.

Almost 2,000 visits aremade annually to distributematerials to nursing homes,retirement centers and othercommunity locations.

I hope you will agree withme that our library, (secondonly to the Cincinnati Reds

Great American Ballpark as adowntown destination), cannotcontinue to serve our commu-nity to its fullest potentialunless we vote “yes” on Issue1.

Please pledge your supportfor this vitally important, na-tionally recognized institution.

Sarah Anness Evans is the formermayor of Madeira and director ofThe Library Foundation of Cincin-nati and Hamilton County.

Vote yes on Issue 1 to support library

Sarah AnnessEvansCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Last week’s questionHave your health-care plan premi-

ums increased and terms changed sig-nificantly for 2014? Why do you thinkthere was or was not a significantchange?

“My health care premiums havenot changed significantly for 2014 be-cause I’m lucky enough to have cov-erage onmywife’s plan. However, asPresident Obama promised, as longago as 2007, if you like your presentcoverage you don’t have to changeanything under the Affordable CareAct. This is so simple that it has lobo-tomized the right-wing racists.”

TRog

“Afteryearsofdoubledigitrate in-creases, our insurance is not increas-ing in 2014 nor are there any majorchanges in coverage.”

D.A.

“Part B of my Medicare (handledby private insurer) went up slightly.However, before Medicare I was onprivate insurance out of my ownpocket. In the last10years itmanagedto increaseby7 to10percent peryearwith no additional benefits, whichwere very limited.

“If Ihadgottenmycancerandsub-sequent surgery before Medicarekicked in I would probably be fight-ing off bankruptcy right now. Thelousy insurance for exorbitant pricewould not have covered half of thehuge bills that were incurred.

“I justwish thatObamacare (ACA)wasavailablesooner.FromwhatIcantell for the same price I had been lay-ing out for 10 years I could have af-forded a much more comprehensivepolicy and slept better at night.”

J.Z.

“Yes, my premiums are expectedto go up about 7 percent. I thinkmed-ical costs are out of control in thiscountry.

“The one good thing to happen forthe American people is the Afford-able Health Care Act. As a singlemother of twochildrenages 22 and20it is wonderful that they are coveredundermy plan. I don’t know how any-one can afford to not have insurancein today’s world, so finding ways tohelp everyone get covered is a step inthe right direction.

“I know far too many people whohave had to go without insurance be-cause it wasn’t offered at their placeof employment, so their option oftenwas theER,which isasignificantcostdifferencefromregularmedicalcareby a family physician. It isn’t a per-fect solution, but it is progress.

“Another big step will be to findways to bring hospital costs back to areasonable level. I think it is comingand is absolutely necessary. WhenyoucomparewhatAmericanspay forcertain procedures to similar qualityin other countries it is an abomina-tion.

D.P.

“Health insurance isprobablyonly

going to be affected by all the normalthings that affect health insurancepremiums, like the fact that healthcare costs are rising.

“I am lucky to have health carethrough my employer and yes mycosts have gone up, not because ofObamacare. Health care costs haveriseneveryyear for the last sixyears,though they’re not rising as fast nowas they were several years ago,they’re still going up 4 percent ormore a year.

“So, generally speaking, forevery-body, health insurance premiums aregoing to continue to rise. For peoplebuying coverage through the ex-changes – or as they’re officiallycalled, the marketplaces – the premi-ums are going to be different frompremiums available on plans previ-ously,becausetheplansaredifferent.

“New plans are coming into themarket.Theyhavenewrequirementson them about what they have to cov-er.

“Wenowknow that nopre-existingcondition restrictions are going to beheld against anybody. That’s going toaffect the price.

“Andwe also know that things likeno more annual limits on what healthcare insurance payouts can be havecome into effect, no lifetime limits.

“So, inessence, thecoverage isdif-ferent fromwhatwasavailableprevi-ously for people buying coverage inthe individual market.

“And the prices are going to varyexchange by exchange, depending onhowmany insurers bid to participatein the program and how heavy a bar-gain states drove with the health in-surers who are coming into the mar-ketplace.

“So you’re seeing a lot of variationinratesaroundthecountry.Thatsaid,it’s also fair to say though that, in gen-eral, the rates are lower than manypeople expected they would be.”

K.F.S.

“My health care premiums do notexist. I spent over a half million dol-larsonhealth insuranceover twodec-adesbecause ofmedical conditions inmy family. Now I do not have enoughmoney to qualify for the part of thelaw which requires one to purchasehealth care.

“I intend to see what I do qualifyfor, once thegovernment shutdown isover. Most of that money went to en-rich one insurance company. A bigchunk of it went to routine checkupsto confirm, that yes, my familymem-bershad incurableconditions, andno,their conditions weren’t gettingworse.

“Iwasalwayschargedsubstantial-lymore thanpeoplewithbetter insur-ance policies, but I was unable to

switchto thosepoliciesbecauseof thepre-existing conditions. I couldn’tevengeta jobwithanemployerwithagoodpolicy,because Iwouldhavehadto pay for two policies at once to en-sure constant coverage, and I wasnever in a position to afford that.

“The Affordable Health Care Actcame too late forme. Iwill never votefor a Republican as long as they don’thaveanypositivesuggestions thatac-tually improve the fairness of healthcare in the United States.

“George McGovern had it right.Republicans never build anything.They serve a useful purpose of de-molishing things which have got outof hand.

“At this point, they’ve done theirjob, and it is a good thing that theyarestarting to demolish themselves.”

N.F.

“Our health care premiums in-creased almost 18 percent from$1,700 to$2,000forahealthyfamilyofthree with a $5,000 deductible. Thecompany stated that our benefitswould remain unchanged since wewere grandfathered as long-term in-sured.

“Health insurance will continue toskyrocket due to the many INTEND-ED consequences of Obamacare. It isjust another one of his wealth re-dis-tribution schemes where those whocan afford to pay for insurance willpay a LOT for it and those who can’twill be subsidized.

“We saw our friends in Congressscream bloody murder when theywere told that they would be on Oba-macare, so President Fairness quick-ly gave them a 72 percent subsidy.

Ihavebeenselfemployedandpay-ing for my own health insurance for23 years. I won’t hold my breath formy subsidy.

“This schemewill collapse since itmandates insuring of pre-existingconditions and depends on the youngand healthy to buy in at excessiverates. They will not participate, butwill pay the small ($100) tax penaltyuntil it exceeds the insurance.

“Whennohealth insurancecompa-nies are left Obama’s ultimate goal ofsingle-payer government health carewill be realized.”

D.J.H.

“Mine has changed very much for2014, and would probably get worstfor 2015 and beyond.

“Can I blame Obamacare? Mostprobably. This government healthcare plan is pushing not only employ-ers over the brim, but medical insur-ance companies as well.”

NEXT QUESTIONThe Ohio legislature is considering limiting non-family passengers in a teenager’s car,and establishing a 10 p.m. curfew for teen drivers. Is this a good idea? Why or whynot?

Every week we ask readers a question they can reply to via e-mail. Send your answers [email protected] with Chatroom in the subject line.

Did intersection become safeafter election?

Shawn Gavin is currently running forDeer Park City Council, a position he waselected to four years ago. He spent his two-year term launching his failed campaign formayor in 2011.

The voters of Deer Park should know ex-actly who Shawn Gavin is. During his twoyearsoncouncil thecitywasfacedwithsomefinancial problems. Unfortunately, councilwas forced to eliminate some positions.

One of the positions eliminated was theschool crossingguards.Thevote toeliminatethat position was unanimous, meaning Mr.Gavin voted for the elimination.

Shortly before the 2011electionMr.Gavinmade a motion in council (a motion that didnot pass) to restore the crossing guard atPlainfieldandMatsonroads, sayinghowdan-gerous that intersection was.

He then volunteered to be the crossingguard there and every morning there was inhis “Gavin for Mayor” shirt assisting thechildren cross the street.

And then the most amazing thing hap-pened – right after Mr. Gavin lost the 2011mayoral election that intersection becamesafe and no longer needed a crossing guard.

Either miracles do happen or Shawn Ga-vin is a phoney. I’m going with phoney.

UNION TWP. — You could saypatientsareflockingtoanewre-hab center in the city.

But you’d be a little off.That’s because the birds of

prey being treated at RAPTOR(the Regional Association forthe Protection andTreatment ofRaptors) Inc. inUnionTownshiparen’t flying there of their ownwinged accord.

The hawks, owls, eagles andfalcons are injured and con-cerned people are bringingthem to the non-profit’s facilityat 961Barg Salt Run Road.

RAPTOR Inc. moved to itsUnion Township location –which it bought in 2005 – next tothe Cincinnati Nature Center at949 Tealtown Road about a yearago.

Before that it operated onCovered Bridge Road near theWinton Woods Park in Green-hills.

“We are trying to get theword out so people knowwho tocall when they find these in-jured birds and how we can bereached to provide outreacheducational programs,” saidCindyAlverson of Loveland, ex-ecutive director of RAPTORInc.

The group has been treatingand releasing birds of prey inthe Greater Cincinnati area for35 years.

Some of the birds were hurtflying into windows. Otherswere entangled in fishing lines.

“People who find injuredbirds of prey contact us and weareable to treat thesebirdswiththe help of veterinarians,” Al-verson said.

“In 2013 we have already ad-mitted over 200 injured birds ofprey.

“On average RAPTOR ad-mits 200 injured birds of preyannually,” Alverson said.

Alverson said RAPTOR Inc.releases more than half thebirds it treats.

Which brings us to the sec-ond mission of RAPTOR Inc.:

community education.Besides treating injured and

orphaned raptors thegrouppre-sents educational programs atschools, libraries, communityevents and scout functions.

That’s when some raptorsthat cannot be released get intothe act.

“If the raptors are unable tobe returned to the wild theysometimes can be used for edu-cation ambassadors,” Alversonsaid.

“We have 10 at our facilityand often we transfer non-re-leasable birds to other facilitieswho have need of birds to be

used in educational programs.”Alverson said RAPTOR Inc.

moved to Union Township be-cause it needed to expand.

“We needed space for reha-bilitation where volunteerscouldcomeandwork,”Alversonsaid.

“RAPTOR Inc. always had agoal to have a facility with ahuge flight cage so wewould beable to provide flight condition-ing for the species of birds suchas peregrines and eagles, which

need large cages to condition inbefore release.”

RAPTORInc. issupportedbymembership fees, grants andcontributions for educationalpresentations.

“We are always looking fordonations or sponsorships tohelp support our rehabilitationefforts,” Alverson said.

“With additional funds weplan to develop an educationalcenter open to the public wherethey can come and view the

birds up close.“This work is important so

people can learn about thesebirdsandtheirpart intheirenvi-ronment,” Alverson said.

“Once they have this under-standing they are more protec-tiveabout thesebirdsand(inter-ested in) how they can help.”

For more information aboutRAPTOR Inc. call 825-3325 orvisit www.raptorinc.org.

CoryWright, assistant UnionTownship administrator, saidRAPTOR Inc. is a much-appre-ciatedmember of the communi-ty.

“They have successfully re-habilitated many animals andtheyarecertainlyawelcomead-dition to the community - frombothawildlifeconservationper-spectiveaswell asaneducation-al perspective,” Wright said.

Today we started ourfirst fire in the woodstove for the season. Butit was a little weird, too,because when I lookedout the window, the impa-

tiens werea riot ofcolor in thewindowboxes andthe morn-ing glorieslooked likea burst ofblue skyclimbingup thewhite pick-

et fence. The weatherhad turned quite chillyand it really was a per-fect morning to have anice, aromatic fire. If youask most folks, they willtell you fall is their favor-ite time of year. I guessit’s because the outsidework is winding downand so are we. Andthere’s nothing quite sobeautiful as a mosaic ofreds, browns and yellowsas the leaves carpet ourold country road.

Hotel Sinton’sspring pea salad

I was glad to get somany responses to JanB.’s request for the HotelSinton pea salad. As al-ways, thanks, thanks,thanks! The recipe fromJuliane B., a Coleraintownship reader, wasexactly like the one origi-nally published by CheriBrinkman in her firstbook of the best-sellingseries: “Cincinnati andSoup.”

Now that I’ve seen therecipe, I know I’ve eatenit and liked the salad a

lot. Juliane said she’smade it several timesand people love it. Cheritold me: “This is a rareone as it is a salad dress-ing, not a true pea salad.It came from an olderlady I knew who actuallylearned to cook in thekitchen of the old HotelSinton. What is interest-ing in this is the amountof mayonnaise in thesalad; this may be less-ened by the cook if theychoose. The most impor-tant thing to stress hereis that it should be servedby tablespoon over

chopped lettuce not as asolo salad – that was notwhat they did in “thegood old days.” Bestmade ahead. FYI Cherijust published her latest,and best-selling, book“Cincinnati and Soup:Festivals and Frolics.”

2 (16 oz.) bags frozen greenpeas

6 green onions, chopped2 stalks of celery choppedfine

3 cups mayonnaise (more orless)

4 hard-boiled eggs, sliced

Mix peas, onions and

celery. Mix in 2 cupsmayonnaise. Put in a9-inch by 13-inch dishand top with 1 cup may-onnaise. Garnish with thehard-boiled eggs. Serve.May be served overchopped lettuce.

Easy caramel applesThe hardest part of

this recipe is opening allthe caramels. I dippedthe apples only halfwayup and then rolled theminto finely chopped salt-ed nuts.

1 (14 oz.) bag vanilla

caramels, unwrapped2 tablespoons water orwhipping cream

Apples (I had small onesfrom our tree so hadenough caramel coatingfor 10.)

Sucker sticks or woodencraft sticks

Toppings: chopped nuts,cookies, mini M&M’s,crushed pretzels, etc.

Remove stem andwash and dry apples.Insert sticks. Set aside.Melt caramels with wa-ter over low heat. Dipapples in halfway or all

the way if you want(you’ll get a smalleryield). Immediately rollbottoms in your choice oftoppings. Set on sprayedpan to dry.

Can you help?Manyet Bakery’s

cheesecake: I don’t wantto disappoint Pat Barth,who asked again if any ofyou have the recipe or asimilar one from thisbeloved Newport Bakery.This is the bakery thatmade the famous radiorolls and for which Ifound a similar recipethat I still promise topost on my blog.

Frisch’s ranch dress-ing: I’ve had a couplerequests for this, so ifyou have a similar reci-pe, please share.

Stay tuned!Knife skills video.

Last week I shared in-formation on honingsteels. At the end of thismonth, Robert Hess, anexpert on cutlery, will bea guest on my cable show“Love starts in the kitch-en” on Union TownshipTV. The show will air inNovember onWarnerCable 8 and 15, so tune in.
