WESTWOOD — Mark Winter- halter said it’s important all children and adults know how to swim and be safe in the water. Swimming pools and bodies of water can pose dangerous risks for people who can’t swim. Learning how to swim, while sometimes scary at first, is rela- tively easy for most people. For children and adults with special needs, however, getting in the water can be especially intimidating. Winterhalter, a Delhi Town- ship resident, is working to erase those fears for individ- uals with special needs through the adapted swim program at the Gamble-Nippert YMCA. “Some of the people we’ve worked with were afraid to even put a foot in the water,” he said. “Now they’re swimming laps.” He said Gamble-Nippert has offered an adapted swim pro- gram for many years and he’s been volunteering as its certi- fied swim instructor for three years. It was started by Mary Do- lan, a former competitive diver and Gamble-Nippert swim in- structor, who developed the Do- lan Method specifically for teaching children with autism how to swim, he said. In addition to using the Dolan Method, the program places an emphasis on safety and teaches participants basic water safety skills. He said they also provide swim lessons to prepare chil- dren and adults for three swim meets each year sponsored by the Special Olympics. “I don’t think people are aware of the adapted program we have here,” Winterhalter said. “We work with a lot of kids and adults who have a variety of disabilities. They really enjoy it and we like teaching them how to swim.” After he retired from a busi- ness career a few years ago, he said he was looking for some volunteer opportunities and his daughter, Sara Overstake, who is the executive director of Gamble-Nippert, suggested he get involved with the swim pro- gram. He said he grew up swim- ming and working at pools and he taught swim lessons while serving in the U.S. Navy, so it was a natural fit. He earned his certification as a swim instruc- tor and has led the program ever since. “Sara got me back into some- thing more rewarding than the business world,” Winterhalter said. “I enjoy seeing their (partici- pants) reactions.

Swimming pools and bodiesof water can pose dangerousrisks for people who can’t swim.

Learning how to swim, whilesometimes scary at first, is rela-tively easy for most people.

For children and adults withspecial needs, however, gettingin the water can be especiallyintimidating.

Besides learning howto swim, he said the chil-dren and adults in the pro-gram also benefit from

gaining more self confi-dence and developing so-cial skills.

Overstake said the pro-gram has also been veryrewarding for the Gam-ble-Nippert YMCA.

She said she enjoystalking with the partici-pants’ parents and seeingthem beam about the pro-gress of their children.

She said one parent re-layed a story about howtheir son used to be em-barrassed to attend sum-mer swim parties, butnow he gets excited andlooks forward to being in-vited to swim parties.

“I can see the differ-ence it is making,” shesaid. “It’s definitely re-warding and it adds to ourY. To be able to help adultsand children with specialneeds brings us back toour mission.”

The success has in-spired Overstake and herfather to begin working to

grow the program andserve more children,adults and families.

She said they are ac-cepting individuals withspecial needs who are in-terested in swimming andalso actively seeking ad-ditional volunteers whowant to get certified andserve as instructors.

“Our goal is to expandthe program and reachmore people,” Winterhal-ter said. “Swimming canbe very beneficial.”

The adapted swim pro-gram runs from 3 p.m. to 4p.m. Mondays at Gamble-Nippert YMCA, 3159 Mon-tana Ave.

“What separates thisplan from any the town-

land use plan and adjust-ing the township’s zoningresolution to encouragefavorable developmentand limit unfavorable de-velopment along the pike.Landrum said the town-ship will identify whattypes of developmentsare best for certain prop-erties in the business dis-trict, and the plan will in-clude a mix of retail, of-fice and residential uses.

“We’ll now have thetools in our hands to im-plement strategies that

will take us out of the1980s and take us to thenext generation,” he said.

He said the kick-offevent will be the first in aseries of public meetingsand engagement opportu-nities for residents, busi-ness owners and commu-nity leaders to participatein the planning process.

We’ve hardly had time to be indoorsthis week.

Between hunting for morel mush-rooms and ramps (we’ve only found onemushroom so far, and that was a falsemorel, not edible, but the ramps/wildleeks are abundant), picking violets forjellies and jams, checking out wildflowers in the woods and getting thegardens plowed and mulched for springplanting, I’m grateful when duskcomes.

But I have to admit, I love this time ofyear.

It brings out my simple creative side,and that means making crystallized flow-ers and leaves.

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator,Jungle Jim’s Eastgate culinary professional andauthor. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com.Email her at [email protected] with“Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line. Call 513-248-7130, ext. 356.

Garnish a dish with crystallized

flowers and leaves

Crystallized/candied edible flowers and leaves

All parts must be coated both with egg white and granulated sugar sothat they preserve well. If you’re concerned about using raw egg white, buypasteurized eggs. These are beautiful as a garnish for baked goods, icecream, etc. Nothing like the commercial ones which are tumbled in drumsand look like colored nuggets.

Egg whiteGranulated sugar, regular or fine

First, make sure you have “clean” petals and leaves, no toxic spray onthem. They must be dry. Whip egg white until foamy. Whipping allows youto coat petal without weighing it down. Take a small brush and coat petalon both sides very lightly but thoroughly. You can place it on a flat surfaceand coat each side with egg white. Have a small dish or pile of sugar ready.Place flatly on sugar to coat underside and sprinkle top lightly and thor-oughly. Check underside to make sure it’s coated well. Gently shake offexcess sugar. Carefully lay on wire rack to dry. Drying may take several daysor more. They’re ready when you can break off a piece cleanly, without itbending. Store covered in single layers at room temperature away from anyhumidity.

See process in stages along with list of other edible flowers, on Abou-teating.com.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen: I’m going to test these using water instead ofegg white. I’ll let you know how they turn out.

List of edible flowers/herb leaves I used:Violets, violas, pansies, impatiens, mint leaves, violet leaves.

Grab and go morning glory muffins

A much loved recipe enjoying a comeback. Supposedly it was a “hip-pie” recipe when the natural food movement began and gave renewedenergy after a night of hard partying. I usually grab one before headingoutside. This is a substantial muffin!

1-1/4 cups sugar2 -1/4 cups all purpose flour1 tablespoon cinnamon, apple pie or pumpkin spice blend2 teaspoons baking soda1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 cup shredded, sweetened coconut3/4 cup raisins, dried cherries, or your favorite dried fruit1 large apple, peeled and grated1 cup crushed pineapple, drained2 cups grated carrotsGenerous 1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts3 large eggs1 cup vegetable oil - I’ve used canola and safflower1 tablespoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350. Whisk together sugar, flour, cinnamon, bakingsoda and salt. Add coconut, raisins, apple, pineapple, carrots and nuts, andstir to combine. Separately, whisk eggs with oil and vanilla. Pour over dryingredients and blend. Spoon into muffin tins lined with muffin cups, fillingeach almost to brim. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted intocenter comes out clean. Cool muffins for 10 minutes, then turn out onto arack to finish cooling.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen: Once you mix wet and dry ingredients togeth-er, don’t over mix, which may create tunnels in baked muffins, making themless tender.

The Clooney family histo-ry of entertainers - Rose-mary, Betty, Nick – andNick’s son, George has deeproots in Maysville, Kentucky.Less well known is the chainof events that gave the twogirls a west side connection.

Their father, Andy Cloo-ney, a house painter duringthe depression was an alco-

holic, unreli-able andmostly absentfrom hischildren’slives.Frances, theirmother, wentto work in aLexingtondress shopwhen theirmarriagedissolved.

The kids were shifted be-tween grandparents untilGrandma Clooney died. Atthat time, the girls, Rosie, 9,and Betty, 6, were sent to livepermanently with theirGrandmother Guilfoyle.

Ada was tough and strong,and known for her upbeatattitude and thriftiness. Liv-ing with Ada, singing becameimportant and the girls foundways to work song into near-ly everything they did. Theysang at school, church, eventheir grandfather Clooney’spolitical rallies.

In 1941, Ada moved herlittle family to Cincinnati,where most of her relativeshad gone for work. At 13, thebig city was a shock for Rose-mary. She was a country girl,not sophisticated like the citygirls, and they let her knowit. She attended WithrowHigh, where she “rushed” fora sorority. The sorority girlscalled her a hillbilly, andblackballed her all four timesthat she rushed.

Eventually, Grandma Guil-foyle moved her brood to theWest Side, where Rosie en-rolled in Western Hills. Sheonce again went through

sorority rush. West Hi wasmore accepting of the girland she made it in the soror-ity this time. Just as life feltmore stable, Frances cameback for her daughters. Itwas a short term arrange-ment because she soon mar-ried a Navy man, and movedto California with her newhusband and Nick, leavingthe girls behind. Andy triedto provide a home for thembut one night went out tocelebrate the end of WorldWar II and never returned.Rosie and Betty were alone,with no money, a disconnect-ed phone and the electricityabout to be turned off. Theyscavenged for pop bottles tosurvive (Redbook, KirtleyBaskette, September 1953).

With their father gone, thegirls were sent to live with anaunt in Greenhills, againchanging schools. Rosie at-tended four high schools infour years, spending just oneyear at Western Hills. She

and Betty lived a life of up-heaval and uncertainty.

Betty talked her sister intoauditioning for a spot at WLWradio. Barney Rapp heardthem, loved their sound andhired the two to sing with hisband. It was the beginning ofan incredible career.

Rosie made it big, but evenher positive personalitycouldn’t protect her from theeffects of her childhood andher fame. She struggled withmental illness and drug abuseafter being present at theAmbassador Hotel when herfriend, Bobby Kennedy, wasassassinated in 1968. Belovedby her fans, she scored atriumphant comeback in the1970s. She passed away oflung cancer in 2002.

The Reds will host the 2015 All-StarGame July 14 - which is about whensome fans believe they will bemathematically eliminated fromplayoff contention.

Ankle sprains are one of themost common injuries I see asa physician of sports medicineat Cincinnati Children’s.

It’s estimated 2 million an-kle sprains occur across thecountry every year. Almosthalf taking place during sportsrelated activity. Ankle sprainscommonly happen in sportsthat require cutting and jump-ing such as basketball, soccer,

football andvolleyball.

A commonmisconceptionamong parentsis that an anklesprain is a“mild injurythat will healon its own.”However, an-kle sprains canlead to chronicpain and insta-

bility of the ankle if not proper-ly treated. The group that is atgreatest risk range in age from10-19 years old.

A sprain is a stretching ortearing injury that is specificto ligaments (bone to boneconnections in the body). Mostankle sprains cause an injuryto the outside portion of theankle. However, an injury tothe inside of the ankle canindicate a far more worrisomeinjury.

If you think your child hasan ankle sprain, it’s alwaysbest to have an examination bya physician who has special-ized training in evaluation ofankle sprains.

Some of the signs include:» inability or difficulty bear-

ing weight on the affectedankle;

» significant swelling orbruising anywhere on the an-kle, leg or foot;

» pain over the inside of theankle or over the foot;

» deformity of the ankle orfoot.

If any of the above signs orsymptoms is present, it is ad-vised that your child be evalu-ated as soon as possible. Liga-ments may not heal properly ifrest and or bracing are notperformed. Ankle braces haveprogressed greatly over thepast 20 years. Today’s anklebraces are for easier to put on,are comprised of more ad-vanced materials, and aremore comfortable to wear.

At Cincinnati Children’s, ourpediatric sports medicine ex-perts recognize the importanceof early evaluation of musculo-skeletal injuries. Our clinicsare equipped with Xray capa-bilities, splints, crutches, andbracing for all levels of anklesprains. Same day appoint-ments can be made by calling513-803-HURT. If your child’sinjury is after hours or on theweekend and your child isunable to bear weight or adeformity is present, an evalu-ation in an urgent care oremergency department wouldbe recommended.

Depending on the degree ofthe ankle sprain, healing timesmay vary. If the ankle sprain isminor, recovery can take placewithin two to three weeks.With more severe anklesprains, the healing time cantake six to eight weeks for afull recovery.

It’s important to have theankle checked out as soon aspossible especially if there isany ongoing pain. At CincinnatiChildren’s, the sports medicineteam is committed to havingyour child return to his or herusual activities once the ankleis healed and strength is re-stored.

Dr. Gregory Walker is an assistantprofessor in Division of Sports Medi-cine at Cincinnati Children’s and anassociate professor in Department ofPediatrics at the University of Cin-cinnati.

GREEN TWP. — Consistency issomething a team learns andhopes to achieve. Over the firstthird of the Oak Hills HighSchool boys volleyball season,10th-year coach Chris Mormanwill tell you his Highlandershave been “consistently incon-sistent.”

“I think we’re still searchingto find our identity as a team,”Morman explained. “We havesome good skill guys, it’s just amatter of putting it all together.I’m hoping it will come togetherand click soon.”

Even with inconsistent play,Oak Hills has had a productivestart winning six of its first 10and four of five in the GreaterMiami Conference. It’s a solidstart, but there’s no illusions for

Morman and his team — theyknow how tough a road theyhave in front of them.

Within the GMC, Oak Hillshas to deal with Fairfield, Ma-son and Lakota East, all three ofwhom are ranked in the top 10 ofThe Cincinnati Enquirer areacoaches’ poll. Oak Hills isranked No. 7 in the third week ofthe poll.

“It looks like there’s someparity in our conference thisyear,” said Morman, adding thathe believes the Highlanderswill be “equally-matched” to theother top teams in the GMC.

The Highlanders lost to Fair-field 25-21, 25-19, 26-24 on April14, then defeated Mason 25-19,25-11, 25-23 April 16.

It’s no surprise who’s led theHighlanders to this point. Sen-ior outside hitter Tim Laib hasbeen as advertised — really

good. “We kind of thought (Tim)

would be the leader and he has,”said Morman, adding that Laib

is “leaned on” offensively.“Anybody that comes in to playus knows who the go-to guy willbe — that’s a lot of pressure onone kid.”

Laib’s handled the pressure.As of April 16, he leads the GMCin kills (124) converting onroughly 52 percent of his at-tempts. Offensive help hascome in the form of EricSchneider who ranks third inthe GMC for kills (65) and ju-nior Owen Appiarius is sixthwith 58.

“Things don’t get easier,we’re gonna have our work cutout for us,” Morman said.“We’ve got a tough schedulecoming up with Elder, St. Xavi-er (May 4) and La Salle (May 5).When we get to those (GCLteams) we’re gonna have someimproving to do or we’ll be in fora wake-up call.”

Oak Hills aims for consistency on volleyball courtAdam [email protected]

Oak Hills senior volleyball players, from the front, Eric Schneider, AlecKrummen, Tim Laib, Dylan Miller and Randy Hager get together April 16before facing Mason.

WESTERN HILLS — In 1984,legendary Western Hills HighSchool baseball coach KenSelby had a feeling. Call it apremonition, hunch or suspi-cion. Selby knew in two yearstime his Mustangs would begood.

He was right. But, the steelycoach, defined by his owntoughness, had no idea his 1986team would become one of themost successful and memora-ble teams in Ohio High Schoolbaseball history.

In a state championshipweekend that took three daysto complete, West High wonthe 1986 Ohio AAA state base-ball championship in a 12-in-ning final game. The Mustangsovercame Westerville North11-9 for the title.

“When (the seniors) weresophomores (in 1984), I toldthem ‘If you guys continue towork hard we’ll win the state,’”recalled Selby, who coached atWestern Hills from 1975-1994.

Enquirer reporter TomGroeschen dubbed it “TheWeekend That Won’t End.” Itbegan when the state semi-finals, slated for Friday, wererained out, pushing the gamesto Saturday. In that semifinalgame, the Mustangs mauledMentor 12-5 to advance.

Sunday’s state champion-ship against Westerville Northwas so tense and exciting, bothteams played the lights out.Literally. After four and a halfhours, West High and Northwere tied 7-7, and after 10 in-nings officials decided to callthe game due to darkness(Ohio State University lackedlights in ’86).

So, the Mustangs had tocome back the next morning,Monday, and finish the game,which did not make them hap-py.

Selby said the team checkedout of its hotel Sunday as theplayers and staff didn’t havethe money for another hotelstay. Westerville North wasabout 15 minutes outside ofColumbus so the Mustangsdecided to drive home Sunday

night, then back the next morn-ing for a 10 a.m. start. That wasuntil a Western Hills alumstepped up and paid the hotelcharge for another night,which Selby considered moneywell spent.

On Monday morning, theMustangs got dressed in thesame dirty uniforms theyplayed in the day before andwent out to win the school’sfifth state title.

“I don’t think we would havewanted (our uniforms)washed,” said Mike Lindsey, asenior in 1986, and now anassistant coach at La Salle. “Weloved each other, and we did itfor each other as much as wedid it for ourselves.”

When play resumed Mon-day, both teams went scoreless

SIDELINES

in the 11th inning, then inthe top of the 12th, West

High plat-ed fourruns. Asreportedby Groes-chen, sen-ior RickNevillescoredafter a

walk and singles fromJeff Homan and Karl“Tuffy” Rhodes. TroyRoark grounded out, andJerry Schoen was in-tentionally walked. BradKuehn singled to scoreHoman and Rhodes, thenRod Hutson singled homeSchoen. In the bottom ofthe 12th, WestervilleNorth added two runs butRhodes put the game andteam into the recordbooks with a bases load-ed strikeout.

When it was all saidand done, the Mustangs,who finished with a 29-6record, had 18 hits and 10errors in the title game.Lindsey summed it up,“Good teams find a wayto win.”

Selby concurred. “They had good cam-

araderie,” Selby said.“They were a good groupof kids; I didn’t have toworry about them.”

They were the defini-tion of a team; they camefrom different placeswith different back-grounds, and workedtogether in a way fewteam’s ever do, he said.They had a lineup thatcould hit top to bottomand two top-of-the-linestarting pitchers in

Rhodes and Neville, bothlefties who threw in thestate final.

West High’s playersdidn’t just win state; theypeppered the state rec-ord books. In ‘86, Schoen,who went on to play atCreighton and EasternKentucky, had 70 hits,which ranks second all-time in the state for hitsin a season. Neville won15 games — tied for fifthall-time in a single sea-son. As a team, the Mus-tangs had 442 hits, whichis second all-time in aseason in Ohio HighSchool history, accordingto the OHSAA.

A week prior to state,Rhodes was drafted bythe Houston Astros in thethird round. He playedfive MLB seasons, withthe Astros and ChicagoCubs, before playing inJapan from 1996-2009. In2006, Rhodes tried tocatch on with the Cincin-nati Reds but was cut inspring training. He re-turned to Japan.

“We were all friend-s...and we did not want tolose,” Schoen said. “Wefed off (coach Selby); hewas a hard-nosed guyand we played to hisdemeanor.”

West High’s pitchingcoach in 1986 was a spryMark Thompson, whoeventually landed thehead job at Elder where’senjoyed a storied careerand two state titles of hisown.

“To say ‘proud’ is anunderstatement,” saidNeville. “Only so manypeople get to (win achampionship) in theirlifetime. Your parentsand friends are in thestands. It’s a fairytalestory.”

Many cell phone usershave a monthly bill of$100 or more, which is thegoing rate for several bigcell phone carriers. Whatmany don’t know is youcan get access to thesame cell phone towersand networks used by thebig companies for just afraction of the cost.

The four big cell phonecarriers have discountedbrands that allow you tosign up and save up to 75percent off your monthlybill. You will get the samequality reception as youdo from the parent com-pany.

CricketWireless isthe dis-count ser-vice of-fered byAT&T.VerizonWireless’discountservice iscalled Total

Wireless. Boost is thelower-priced brand of-fered by Sprint whileGoSmartMobile is offeredby T-Mobile.

None of these loweredpriced companies requireyou to sign long- term

contracts like the majorbrands. Verizon’s TotalWireless brand actuallygives you more for lesslook: for $35 a month youget unlimited talk, textand 2.5 GB of data. Thesame plan, with just 2 GBof data will cost you $75from Verizon itself. TheTotal Wireless brand canbe found at Walmart. Allthe plans allow you tobring your own phonewith you from its majorcompany.

There are also a num-ber of other plans youmay want to check outincluding Virgin Mobile,

Metro PC, and StraightTalk. All these companiesoffer plans without acontract which locks youin for two years -- yet theplans are being sold forless money.

The only catch is theseno-contract plans don’tcome with their ownphones. So you need tochoose a no contract planand bring your own phoneor pick a contract planthat costs a little more butwhich comes with aphone. SaveOnPhone.comsays cell phone serviceprices are dropping soquickly these days there’s

no need to be locked into acontract for an extendedperiod of time.

If you, like many, arelocked into a contractwith one of the major cellphone providers you canstill save money throughan employer discount.

Simply call your carri-er and ask if your employ-er is on their employeediscount list.

Employer discountstypically range from 15percent to 25 percent onyour bill each month.
