The committee will develop a long-term plan for the center that includes extensive private contributions, said Schaff. If the necessary funds were to be raised, Gerth said the commission would “absolute- ly” consider a rebuild even in lieu of the renovations. “It is not too late, if they come up with the money,” he said.

OAKLEY — The OakleyRecreation Center is set for a$500,000 facelift in 2016. How-ever, some members of theOakley Community Councildon’t think the renovation plangoes far enough. They want acomplete rebuild in line with aplan proposed several yearsago.

“In my opinion, the Cincin-nati Recreation Commissionpulled a bait and switch on thecommunity,” said Oakley Com-munity Council Vice PresidentDave Schaff.

Schaff said the renovationsare a far cry from a projectproposed several years ago.

ees in January, joining in-cumbents Vice PresidentSusan Hughes and trusteeDavid Kubicki, whoseterms run through 2017.

Here’s a look at the can-didates for ColumbiaTownship trustee andtheir answers to the fol-lowing two questions, forwhich they were allowed150 words per answer:

1. What are the issuesfacing Columbia Town-ship and how would youhandle them?

2. Why do you want toserve on the board oftrustees and what qualifi-cations do you have thatmake you a good choicefor trustee?

» Jones, age withheld,is a property manager.

He’s not held politicalelective office.

1. “I am the only candi-date to have attended allnotified meetings (trus-tee, fire, special) over thelast year and understandthe issues that have diffi-cult decisions to be madeby township residents. Ihave been expressing myconcern for 12 monthsabout the township web-site needing redone. Thisshould have been a priori-ty to allow better commu-nication with residentsand businesses.

“Better fiscal over-sight for better control oftownship funds, to lowertaxes and enhance ser-vices to residents andbusinesses. The round-about should be canceled,

Columbia Townshipvoters will choose a newtrustee Tuesday, Nov. 3,and decide whether to ap-prove a waste levy.

Carl Jones and Chris

Kritikos are vying for theColumbia TownshipBoard of Trustees seatnow held by President Ste-phen Langenkamp, who isnot seeking re-election.

The winning candidatewill begin a four-yearterm on the board of trust-

and themoneyused tohelp fix theflooding inMadisonPlace. Thetrafficmess willbe even

more enhanced with grid-lock at the five-way atMurray Avenue. So let’snot waste (est.) $500,000 ofColumbia Township’smoney on it.

“Discuss a better solu-tion for the Little MiamiFire District, with the lossof Newtown and the 40percent in taxes that willbe lost.”

2. “I have the businessexperience for the chal-lenges ahead to help makethe right decisions for allresidents and businesses.I will work for all the resi-dents of Columbia Town-ship and not have themwork for higher taxes.(Ihave) 27 years in propertymanagement.

“If elected, I will sup-port the above issues andlisten to all other issuesthat come to the attentionof me and not be a ‘rubberstamper’.”

» Kritikos, 36, is a smallbusiness owner and prop-erty manager.

He’s not held electivepolitical office.

1. “Connecting thetownship through greateruse of technology andmore efficient communi-cations. This means more

tools andresourcesavailable toresidentsso they canshare theirthoughtsand ideaswith town-ship elect-

ed officials and providefeedback quickly so thatreal changes can be made.

“Helping us prosper byevaluating all of our ser-vices and fostering a safeand accessible townshipin which businesses andresidents can live, workand play. I will supportany effort that gets theneeded services to thepeople of Columbia Town-ship.

“Lastly, we need togrow through encourag-ing small businesses tostay in Columbia Town-ship and getting new onesto open their doors here.We are blessed to be in alocation that serves as abridge between the subur-ban and urban Cincinnatiarea.”

2. “I want input on ourfuture - and our future isthe children. Being a fa-ther of two small childrenand with my experience asa small business owner, Ibelieve I have the abilityto work diligently to makethe tough decisions in thebest interest of our town-ship.

“I have collaboratedclosely with the currenttrustees and I am proud to

be endorsed by each oneof them. (Hughes couldnot immediately bereached for comment, butLangenkamp and Kubickiconfirmed they are back-ing Kritikos.) I am eagerto continue their visionand stability, but also toimplement a fresh plan tocreate the best communi-ty possible.”

Meanwhile, there’s alsoa 5.1-mill waste levy on theNov. 3 ballot that would re-place Columbia Town-ship’s current 3.5-millwaste levy, which expiresat the end of the year.

The waste levy hasbeen at 3.5 mills since 2003and township officials saythey want residents to re-new that millage and ap-prove a 1.6-mill increasefor the next three yearsbecause the loss of statefunds and the lack oftownship reserves willmake it difficult to meetthe rising costs of ex-penses such as garbagecollection, recycling, leafand brush pick-ups andequipment replacement.

The Hamilton CountyAuditor says the wastelevy would annually costColumbia Townshiphomeowners $178.50 per$100,000 valuation of theirhomes and generate justabove $614,000 a year forColumbia Township.

Jones Kritikos

parent Tracy Huebnerpraised George for herwork in founding TypeOne Teens and for being arole model and leader.Huebner’s 9-year-olddaughter, Alexis, liveswith type 1 diabetes and“loves” George.

The Huebners knewGeorge from JDRF eventswhere she has been both apresenter and panelist.They were especiallypleased when this pastsummer George was Alex-is’ counselor at Camp Ko-relitz, a week-long resi-dential camp for childrenliving with type 1 or type 2diabetes. It was Alexis’first overnight outingwithout family and it wasgood to find a familiar facewaiting.

As the parent of a childwith type 1 diabetes,Huebner had an experi-ence similar to George’s inthat she wanted to connectwith others. For her it wasparents. She founded theeast side group Taking onType 1 Together. The No. 1thing she hears fromgroup members is an in-terest in helping their chil-dren to connect with otherchildren with diabetes.

“Hadley is a great rolemodel to not only herpeers in her group but togirls like Alexis with type1. She’s showing them youcan be happy, still have anice life and still take careof yourself with diabetes,”Huebner said.

a result, her blood sugarwas constantly high.

“I really pretty muchignored everything relat-ed to the disease because Ididn’t want to succumb toit,” she said.

Because her blood sug-ar was high, George con-stantly felt sick with bodyaches, headaches.

“One night in Decem-ber I was sitting in my bedand I thought, ‘I can’t dothis anymore. I’m so phys-ically sick and emotionallybitter about my situationthat I just can’t go on any-more.’”

She knew two or threeother teens with diabetes,but she wasn’t close tothem. What she wantedand needed, she said, werefriends who, like her, haddiabetes. That’s when shecame up with the idea for anew social group for teenswith diabetes - Type OneTeens.

Lisi George remem-bers that chapter in herdaughter’s life well andthe night she shared heridea.

“Oh my gosh, it was socool,” Lisi George remem-bered. “She came downand said, ‘Mom, I have thisgreat idea’ and I hadn’tseen her that excited in along time.”

She listened as herdaughter shared herthoughts. Together theybrainstormed. Over thenext few weeks Georgeworked to develop a logofor Type One Teens, a web-site (www.typeone-teens.com), and a partner-ship with JDRF. She alsocontacted area highschools to let them knowabout her newly founded

social group for teens withdiabetes.

That first meeting heldin April of her freshmanyear included 17 teensfrom throughout theGreater Cincinnati area.She expected only five.Not all had diabetes. Somepeople brought theirfriends. The group con-tinues to meet monthly atfun locations to enjoyfriendship, support, un-derstanding, advice andfun.

“Every teenager is notgoing to admit that theywant something like this,but they really do,”George said. “Becauseyou have all thesethoughts and feelings andemotions like ‘what it’slike to have high bloodsugar during a historytest.’ Type One Teens of-fers a great opportunity toshare all of this withouttalking to a doctor or a psy-chologist. It’s good to talkto your peers and learnfrom each other too.”

In addition to foundingType One Teens, George isinvolved with JDRF as anintern. Last year, Type OneTeens introduced an annu-al gala/dance, Believe inBlue. The second annualgala for teens with diabe-tes and their friends ishappening Nov. 13 at PaulBrown Stadium. Ticketsare available for $35 fromwww.believeinblue.eventbrite.com.

Mariemont High School» Homecoming at Mariemont

High School is always an unforget-table tradition - from the pep rallyto the parade to the game and ev-erything in between. Homecomingthis year Oct. 2.

Mercy Montessori» At 86-years-old, Sister Mary

Aloyse Gerhardstein is certainlynot slowing down – just changingcourse.

Sister, a lifelong Cincinnatian,has dedicated her life to educatingand inspiring children both hereand abroad. She helped MercyMontessori establish the upper ele-mentary program and Cincinnati’sfirst Montessori junior high,opened an interracial Montessorischool in South Africa during theapartheid era, has trained teachersin Cincinnati and Africa, and has apublished musical about MariaMontessori, “You Can Be What YouWant To Be.”

This year, Sister will be transi-tioning out of the classroom fulltime. Even with this change in herrole, she will continue to stay veryinvolved at Mercy, planningMasses, supporting the junior highhistory program, and updating thearchives.

Mercy Montessori - and its manystudents, would not be who they aretoday without Sister Mary AloyseGerhardstein. Sister has touched avast number of lives - it is mesmer-izing to consider the many she hastaught and trained around the globeand the students and children thatfollowed them. Through theseteachers and her own work, SisterAloyse has shared the message ofMercy, a love of learning and explo-ration, and has filled countless chil-dren with confidence and love.

“Sister is inspiring and creativein her teaching. She helps bring outskills in students that they did notrealize they had. She cultivateslearning in the truest sense,” saidRachel Heitkamp, a former studentand current Mercy parent.

Keith Kaiser, Mercy’s juniorhigh director, believes that God puthis wife and Sister Aloyse in hispath for a reason.

“Most of her life energy is spentdoing things for others - an impres-sive example for our students,”Kaiser said.

Principal Patty Normile saidthat Sister is a “humble, graciouseducator. She provides simpletouches that make our Mercy com-munity what it is.”

To celebrate Sister A, the com-munity created several unique me-mentoes and moments in the spiritof one of Mercy’s most belovedleaders. In addition to a Mass andreception held in her honor, a “Treeof Life and Transformation” wasplanted in the school’s parlor. Thisbeautiful work of art holds mes-sages of love, memories and wellwishes for Sister all encased in col-orful capsules. Younger studentswho could not write crafted beauti-ful butterflies to represent themany caterpillars that she has nur-tured into vibrant butterflies thathave spread their wings far andwide. The tree will be on displaythroughout the year and open toanyone who wishes to leave a mes-sage for Sister.

The school’s Mercy Day eventwas also tailored to celebrate Sisterand her spirit of giving. In prepara-tion for the festivities, studentsfrom each division collected non-perishable items to create unique“Can-Struction” displays that rep-resent Sister Aloyse in some way.The primary students crafted aMercy Logo, Lower Elementary de-signed a fish symbol, Upper Ele-mentary recreated the cover of Sis-ter’s published musical, “You CanBe What You Want To Be,” and thejunior high fashioned a tribute toNational History Day. All of thefood items were then donated toMercy Neighborhood Ministries,an organization that has also bene-fited from the time and talent ofSister Aloyse.

This still boggles my mind: Halloween is second onlyto Christmas as the most decorated holi-day. Not so when I was a kid. The housewasn’t decorated, and the eight girls in ourfamily were either witches or gypsies. Mybrother, Charlie, the last born, was alwaysa hobo. We used whatever we could find todress up and we left at dark, by ourselves,and came home with grocery paper bagsfull of treats.

Fast forward to Halloween 2015. Even ifparental rules are stricter, Halloween isstill so much fun! Here are last-minuterecipes for a ghoulishly good Halloween.

Homemade microwave popcornCheck out my Abouteating.com site. You won’t believe

how easy and inexpensive, not to mention healthy andamazingly tender it is. (Hint: 1/2 cup unpopped cornmakes a generous 8 cups, but there’s a secret technique!)

Homemade Halloween treats kids can help make‘Glowing’ swamp punch

Let the kids help. They love the creepycrawler ice ring.

1 cup boiling water2 packages, 4-serving size each, lime

gelatin3 cups cold water1-1/2 quarts carbonated lemon-lime

soda, chilled

Pour boiling water over gelatin and stiruntil dissolved. Stir in cold water. Pour intopunch bowl. Stir in soda, making mixturefizz.

Unmold ice ring by dipping bottom ofmold briefly into hot water. Float in punch.Serve cups garnished with gummy worms.

Creepy crawler ice ring1 cup gummyworms or other creepy crawler gummies

1 quart lemon-lime sports drink likeGatorade

Arrange gummy worms in bottom of5-cup ring mold; fill with Gatorade. Freezeuntil solid.

Black cat cookie pops

Again, let the kids help. Don’t worry iftheir cookies look like something other thancats. It’s about creativity and fun, not perfec-tion.

1 cup creamy peanut butter1/3 cup water2 eggs1 box chocolate cake mixPopsicle sticksSugarCandy corn, red hots

Preheat oven to 350. Beat peanutbutter with water and eggs. Add cake mixand mix. Form into 1-1/2” balls and place onsprayed cookie sheet. Push in a popsiclestick. Flatten with bottom of glass dipped insugar. Pinch two “ears” at top of cookie.Press fork into dough to form whiskers oneither side of nose. Bake 10-12 minutes.Remove from oven and immediately addcandy corn eyes and red-hot nose, pushingin gently. If they happen to fall off after theycool, glue them on with a little powderedsugar glaze or canned frosting. Makes 2-3dozen

My best caramel corn

This makes a lot so feel free to divide in half. Adding dried fruitelevates this to a new dimension.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees.

15-16 cups or so of popped cornAbout 3 cups salted mixed nuts2 sticks or butter2 cups brown sugar1/2 cup light corn syrup1/2 teaspoon salt1 tablespoon vanilla1/2 teaspoon baking soda2 cups dried cranberries, cherries or apricots (opt)

To avoid sticking, use vegetable spray to coat both inside oflarge bowl, cookie sheets and spoons that you will use. Put popcornand nuts in bowl. Set aside. Over medium heat in a large pan, bringto a boil everything but the soda. Boil 5 minutes. Add baking sodaand stir. Mixture will foam up. Immediately pour over popcorn mix-ture, stirring well to coat. Pour in a single layer onto sprayed cookiesheets. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to distribute coating.Let cool for coating to harden; add fruit, and store at room temper-ature in covered containers. Makes about 20 cups.

Tip from Rita’s kitchenAfter popping corn, place in colander or bowl and scoop up

popcorn gently with hands. Any unpopped corn will lie in bottom ofbowl.

Winter is right around thecorner, and with it comes cold-er weather and higher heatingbills. October is NationalWeatherization Month, so nowis the time to begin preparinghomes in order to conserveenergy and save money.

At People Working Coopera-tively we’ve been providingservices to the low-income,elderly and disabled citizens ofGreater Cincinnati for 40 yearsto help keep their homes warmand their bills low, and we’veput together a few easy tips forhomeowners to prepare theirhome this season.

Step one of preparing ahome for winter is checking thewindows and doors. These aretwo of the areas it is easiest for

heat to escapeand cold air toenter a home.Begin outside,checking theseal betweenwindows andsiding. Home-owners mayneed to stripaway layers ofold paint and

caulking before re-caulking toensure a tight seal.

After sealing the outside,homeowners should move in-side and check the weatherstripping on their windows. Ifthe weather stripping looksworn down it should be re-placed. Just sealing windowscould save 15 percent off ener-

gy bills this winter.Installing a programmable

thermostat is another greatway for homeowners to savemoney on their energy bill. Forevery degree a thermostat isset back over an eight-hourperiod, homeowners can saveas much as one percent on theirenergy bill each month. It’seasy to program the thermostatto turn the heat down at nightwhile everyone is sleeping andduring the day while the houseis empty, but begin to warm itback up when the family will beup and around the house.

Checking the furnace early -before it gets really cold - is agood rule of thumb. Waking upon the first truly cold day of theseason to discover the furnace

isn’t working is a situationhomeowners want to avoid. Callin a professional to evaluate thefurnace and provide any tune-up necessary. Annual mainte-nance keeps furnaces runningsafely and efficiently andavoids larger problems downthe line.

Another easy maintenancetip is to change your air filter.Filters should be changed ev-ery few months, and it’s a goodidea to change it out before thefurnace gets heavy use. Thenew filter helps with efficiency,keeps air clean, and helps tokeep the family healthy.

It’s also important to cleangutters twice a year to makesure they are working properly.Now that leaves have started

falling, it’s a good idea forhomeowners to check theirgutters for debris includinganimal nests, branches, leaves,and anything else that mayhave landed on the roof. Home-owners should also ensure thattheir downspout is pointedaway from the house to avoiderosion to the foundation be-cause of run-off.

Taking the time to weather-ize could mean significant sav-ings on energy bills this winter.We encourage homeowners toevaluate their energy use andtake some of these steps toensure their homes stay warmand efficient this winter.

Pardon me if I become a bitradical in this essay, but I fearfor the safety of our entire pop-ulation.

Having said that, allow mesome ideas that may lead to asolution. First, let me say that Ido not hate anyone for their re-ligion, ethnicity or nationality.In fact, I find them interesting.Also, they are due proper re-spect providing they recipro-cate the courtesy. The sense-less killings in Oregon have be-come what I believe is a belat-ed call to action. So, here aresome of my solutions.

In spite of the senselesscalls for gun control from theObama Dysministration, weneed an armed and qualifiedcitizenry who are free to beamong us and would be a deter-rent as well as a potential stopto the irrational murders. Thesimple idea that someone any-where might foil the plans of anattack is a valid point to allowconcealed carry for mentallyand physically qualified per-sons who would stop or com-pletely avoid future repetitionsof these acts.

I would also require that thenearest of kin be held equally

responsiblefor these acts.

Having par-ents or othersinvolvedwould causethem to bemore watchfuland control-ling of theircharges. We alllove our chil-dren and want

them to be a respected memo-ry to our lives and actions.Those who commit these terri-ble crimes do not meet thisstandard. Hopefully, parentalinvolvement might preventsome of these crimes. What iscoming in this essay would cer-tainly cause parents to becomeinvolved in the actions of theirchildren.

So, let’s get down to my dras-tic measures. First, if the per-petrator is killed in the com-mission of the crime the bodyis taken secretly to a remotepart of the ocean and dumpedinto the water for fish food. Ifthe perpetrator survives, mini-mal medical treatment only topreserve life would be given.

Following that, a jail cell

with the least possible com-forts and food would becomehome. There would be no TV,radio or reading material, ex-cept a Bible of their choice.There would be no visitors orcreature comforts other than abed, sink and toilet. The near-est of kin would have no infor-mation of location, visitingrights or information otherthan a notice of death if it oc-curs during their life time.

There seems to be a similarthread running through thesecrimes and that is denial on thepart of parents and authorities.These drastic ideas mightcause more attention to the ac-tions of potential serial killers.Will parents and authoritiestake action before a tragedyforces it? Will the grieving onboth sides happen less often?We can only hope so until a bet-ter solution is available.

In the meantime, the publichas to accept sad realities in-stead of hopeful fantasies ongun control. The writers of theSecond Amendment knewwhat they were doing.

Violence is out ofcontrol in today’s world

My first stop when I go tothe grocery store is the pro-duce section.

Besides the normal lettuce,peppers, celery weekly pur-chases, I usually look for fruitthat is in season. So this pastsummer with the heat/humidlybeing the norm, I journeyedtowards the watermel-on display crate. ThereI found an elderly ladybent over the crate sideattempting to reach amelon. I hurried over tohelp her to get one, butsaw that she was knot-ting on each watermel-on she could reach. Thelady proceeded to stopafter each knot andlisten as getting someinter response from each melonregarding its ripeness. I join inwith my own tapping and triedto act like I knew exactly theright resonance tone I waslistening for.

The lady noticing my at-tempt, told me its better if youuse a spoon; which she forgot tobring, because when you tapeach one, it’s easier to heareach melon’s pitch sound. Justthen I envision her doing this asa crowd gathers around themelon crate to watch her“spooning melons.” She in-forms me they should soundlike a bongo drum to be a goodone. Holding one of the heavymelons close to my ear, I tap itand listen. I attempted to hearsome drumming, bongo re-sounding reply, like when youshout in a canyon and the soundechoing its ghostly retort. We

were starting to get stares fromother shoppers as a few wan-dering over with curiosity tosee what we were doing.

Watermelons actually have aprized heritage, coming fromAfrica, eaten by ancient Egyp-tian pharaohs. I read some-where, there were actually

remnants of the melonsdiscovered in tombs, aspeople believed water-melons were a sourceof water needed fortheir prolonged spiritu-al journey.

But it’s the southernU.S. that seems to put aclaim on them, assoutherners say theirwatermelons are thebest. Mark Twain put it

this way: “The true Southernwatermelon is a boon apart, andnot to be mentioned with com-moner things. It is chief of thisworld’s luxuries, king by thegrace of God over all the fruitsof the earth. When one hastasted it, he knows what theangels eat. It was not a South-ern watermelon that Eve took,we know it because she repent-ed.”

When we were kids, mybrother and I would eat water-melon in the backyard and havea seed-spitting contest. I can’tremember precisely, but thetrick for the best shot was toput the seed on the tip of yourtongue, rolling your tongue fora more of a tube release. Thenrear back with a full lungthrust. Like everything elsethere are national watermelonseed spitting contests; the rec-ord is somewhere over 75 feet.Sadly I read somewhere thatmost watermelons today areseedless, maybe losing anothergreat tradition. Society todayappears to need all sorts ofgrading levels; such as if water-melons are sold commercially,they must meet a certainsweetness level. Defining andputting everything in a struc-tural sense makes life seem socategorized. A keeping of ordermaybe, but removing much ofthe individual’s creative imagi-nation of self-discovery.

My elderly store lady friendand I just want our old summer-time, two-handed mouth-eatingfavorite. I wonder if she’s aseed-spitting girl as the nexttime at the local watermeloncrate, we definitely have moreto talk about!

Oct. 22 questionWho-dey? How far will the

Bengals go this year?

“Super Bowl 50 champs.” D.H.

“The Bengals will go far-ther than the Reds did, butthen again, how hard can thatbe? They are playing well andwinning consistently – Yay!Now, if they can keep the inju-ries to a minimum we mightjust have something in thisteam. Since they are playing sowell and selling many seats,can we renegotiate the asinine

deal our stupid city leadersagreed to with Mr. Brown? It isbeyond ridiculous for this citywith its level of financial woesto have to pay so much to keepa team here that gives darnednear nothing back. I want tohave pride in this team and Ido, but that pride gets verymuddled when thinking abouthow thoroughly Brown takesthe city to the cleaners year af-ter year after year.”

M.J.F.

“The Bengals are an excit-ing team with many greatplayers on offense and de-

fense. Barring major injuries(like last year) they are play-off bound. It would be great ifthey can get a first round byein the playoffs along withhome field advantage. But theNew England Patriots stand intheir way. The wish here issomeone can knock of NewEngland prior to the Bengalshaving to face them in theplayoffs. That might just pro-pel the Bengals to the SuperBowl ala the 1981 and 1988 sea-sons. Like those two years theBengals are loaded with manyclass act players. Go Figure!”

MADSIONVILLE – Priorto the season, Seven Hillsgirls soccer coach Nick Fran-cis was asked questions likewho he thinks will lead thesquad this year, or who mightbe a pleasant surprise.

Those queries make himbristle, and he typically re-frains from answering them.On the surface, it seems oddthat he wouldn’t highlight afew of the players. Dig a littledeeper and it all makes sense.

By highlighting a fewplayers, it could heap extrapressure on the select fewwhile effectively limiting theplayers he didn’t name. Helets the players assume anidentity on the team.

Claire Stewart, one of theseniors, and sophomore AllyJandes have assumed the pri-mary scoring roles on theteam. Jandes has tabulated 49points on 22 goals and five as-sists. Stewart adds 41 morepoints on 14 goals and 13 as-sists.

“Ally’s a great player,”Stewart said. “I really counton her to get those goals andshe does it 99 percent of thetime. We’re so thankful shecan get close and score.”

Jandes has surprised evenherself with the impact she’smade this season. She admitsto some trepidation when shejoined the program as afreshman. Seniors, like Stew-art, have done a good jobmaking her feel welcome onthe team.

“I’m really proud of howfar I’ve come with the sup-

port of the upperclassmen,”Jandes said. “With Claire, It’slike we are best friends andwe’ve only known each otherfor a year.”

Stewart and Jandes, alongwith their teammates, stayedafloat in the Miami ValleyConference, easily one of thetoughest conferences in thearea. Summit Country Dayand Cincinnati Country Dayas well as CHCA are a lot forthe Stingers to navigate.

Stewart said they treat allopponents like they’re thesame and added they’re thereto compete in every game.That attitude helped SevenHills hold off the Eagles in a1-0 victory which propelledthem to the sectional finalthis week.

“This group never quits,even when they are losing,”Francis said. “They are usedto tough games and obviouslyat this stage of the season,they’re all tough.”

HYDE PARK – It’s been aseason of challenges for theClark Montessori football teamon Erie Avenue.

They lost three games by a to-tal of four points by October andthen had to play the upper eche-lon of the Miami Valley Confer-ence-Scarlet Division in back-to-back games. After a 34-6 lossto Cincinnati Hills ChristianAcademy and a 49-27 loss to Cin-cinnati Country Day, the Cou-gars were at 2-5.

Finally on Oct. 26, senior Da-mion Blythe was cleared by theOhio High School Athletic Asso-ciation. A summer grade was inquestion, but the matter was putto rest after the 6-foot, 220-pound senior missed sevengames.

In the eighth, Clark showedtheir resiliency by holding offSummit Country Day 26-24. Itwas the first-ever win for theCougars over their Hyde Parkneighbors.

Showing resiliency everyday for Clark has been sopho-more Ryan Brewster. Thoughonly a back-up at running back,the 5-foot-6, 150-pounder startsat linebacker. From a distance,

you may see him make a tackleor take a hand-off and not noticeanything different.

Upon closer look, No. 9 forthe Cougars is different than hiscompetitors. Brewster was bornwithout a left hand. His left armis about three-quarters thelength of his right.

Despite what looks to be adisadvantage, Brewster hasbeen productive all three sea-sons he has played the game. Healso plays basketball and runstrack. In the summer, he’s a life-guard.

On the football field, he hasthe “spunk” coach Joe Berta ex-udes and admires.

“He can do a number ofthings for us and is always upfor doing what is asked,” Bertasaid.

Watching practice, Brewsteris inserted at running back asClark runs plays and works onformations. No hand-offs aremuffed and pitch-outs arecaught. On pass plays, Berta of-fers to run the routes where itwould be easier for Brewster tocatch with his right hand.

No. 9 will hear nothing of it.“He always tells me it doesn’t

matter,” Berta said. “He’s al-ways going to give his best ef-fort and he does make catches.

It’s awesome! I love it!”With numbers hovering

around 20 due to injuries, theCougars need more Ryan Brew-sters to grab their lunch bucketsand get their work done. Thesophomore offers no excuses,no complaints and asks no fa-vors.

“I’m just like everybodyelse,” Brewster said. “I feel likeanyone else on the field or anyone of my teammates. I don’t seea difference in any of us.”

In today’s world of fly-paper,sticky receiving gloves, Brew-ster grabs the pigskin bare-handed and cradles it as he jabs,darts and dives away from de-fenders. He has no specific tech-nique other than seeing the balland securing it.

Though he enjoys the tack-ling, Brewster clearly loves theball and the ensuing glory.Youthful insults roll off of himlike defenders who can’t bringthe elusive runner down.

“When I was younger I usedto get that a lot,” Brewster said.“Now, it really doesn’t botherme. I’ll make jokes about myselfand laugh at them. I’m comfort-able with it. It’s just who I am.”

This season’s finale forBrewster and the Cougars isOct. 30 at Cincinnati Christian.

SPRINGFIELD TWP. - Withthe final stroke of his highschool golf career, St. Xaviersenior Kirran Magowan sentthe St. Xavier gallery into anuproar when he drained a 6-footbirdie putt on 18 to complete aneven-par round of 72, helpingthe Bombers win their fourthDivision I state golf champion-ship.

Magowan’s score wasn’tused on Friday, only a team’sfour lowest rounds count to-ward the tournament total.

“It’s kind of like a storybookfinish,” said Magowan. “I al-ways kind of replayed it in mymind that it would finish likethis. Everything kind of linedup; I didn’t think I would playthis well.

The Bombers won their firsttitle since 2008 Saturday on theScarlet course at the Ohio StateUniversity Golf Club. St. X shot616 (303-313) to edge Dublin Je-rome’s 621 (316-305). Springbo-ro came in third with 629 (313-316).

“If there was anybody on theteam, if they shot 82 on day one,that I knew in my heart couldcome back and go low, it’s Kir-ran,” said St. Xavier coach AlexKepley. “He’s played the lastpart of this season so stellar …72, that’s a dream, but I felt likehe could go 75 or lower.”

Magowan led the Bomberswith a 36-hole total of 154, fol-lowed by senior Domenic Mar-icocchi with 155 (71-84). JuniorZachary Pavlin shot 157 (77-80),and sophomores Michael Pre-

bles (80-78) and Cameron Fra-zier (75-83) each shot 158.

Magowan said after, “It’s sur-real, it’s one of those things … Idon’t know, I’m kind of speech-less after that one.”

Kepley, after winning hisfirst state title as coach, said,“They don’t quit, they kept play-ing hard and they knew the im-portance of every single shot …what is so incredibly cool, iswhen you look at these fiveguys, everybody’s score count-ed at least once and everybodyhad a round in the 70s thatcounted. Their 36-hole totalsranging from 154-158 – that’show it’s been all year.”

Students at WithrowUniversity HighSchool are spear-head-ing a “Safe Commute”to petition the City ofCincinnati and the OhioDepartment of PublicSafety to post moreprominent signage andto install a traffic lightat the entrance to theschool.

It’s all part of an up-coming service projectfrom the school’s new-est, and second char-tered Zonta Club.

The new Z Clubraised nearly $600from their Valentine’sCandyGram fundrais-er to pay for its upcom-ing service projects.

Their school serviceprojects are establish-ing mentoring and re-cycling programs.

They are also partic-ipating in joint serviceprojects with the Zonta

Members of the General Assem-

bly clearly voiced their support for

a smoke-free Kentucky bill for the

2015 session last week that mirrors

previously failed legislation in 2014.

Denouncing the argument that a

smoke-free bill prohibiting smoking

in public places would kill business,

Brent Cooper, a business owner

from northern Kentucky, said not

only are businesses prospering

across the Ohio River in Cincinnati

with a smoke-free law, but that the

pubs in Ireland haven’t shut down

since the country put a ban on

smoking in the workplace 10 years

ago.Many legislators conferred that

public smoking was indefensible in

Kentucky given the state’s bad

health ratings compared to other

states throughout the U.S.

According to testimony from

Wayne Meriwether, CEO of Twin

Lakes Regional Medical Center,

second-hand smoke is just as dan-

gerous for those that don’t smoke.

all Kentuckians smoke. We lead the

addressing the world of

Mariemont Chapter,Daughters of the Amer-ican Revolution, en-joyed the program”Growing Up Under theSwastika” by Montgo-mery resident SonjaStratman during theirOctober meeting atArmstrong Chapel.

Stratman was born

Sonja Bochmann in Nu-remberg, Germany, in1927.

She entered gradeschool at a time whenall the students’ text-books had been rewrit-ten to favor Hitler andhis agendas.

Every German childhad to join the Hitleryouth, and she did sohappily.

She had no reason tobelieve that her youthgroup was anythingmore than the fun so-cial events she enjoyed.

As the war pro-gressed and her fam-ily’s safety becamethreatened, Stratman’sfather was forced to re-veal the true nature ofHitler, and her worldwas crushed.

For the next severalyears, the Bochmannfamily struggled forsurvival in a war-torn,devastated city. Strat-man worked for a judgeduring the Nuremberg

Trials. In 1952 the family

immigrated to the Unit-ed States.

For most of her life,Stratman scarcelyspoke of her life underthe Nazi regime.

Those closest to hernever knew about heryouth, until recently. In2004, more than 60years later, Stratmanbegan the therapeuticjourney of revisitingthe memories of a hor-

rific time in history.For her, as a child, itwas just how life was.For us, now, it is a taleof how life for Germanswas changed forever.

Stratman has sharedher experiences withmany schools,churches and culturalgroups.

Her story captivatesaudiences old andyoung, telling of a timethat we have only readabout in books.

It is history beforeour own eyes.

Her presentation en-lightens audiences tothe unforgettableevents of Germany un-der the Hitler regime.

Mercy Health Mobile Mammog-raphy’s newest mobile unit has of-fered 3D imaging known as breasttomosynthesis that can help in-crease the chance of detectingbreast cancer early.

Mercy Health’s mobile mam-mography program was the first inregion to offer this technology, add-ing to the strength of the popularmobile mammography programthat extends Mercy Health - Cincin-nati's network of care throughoutGreater Cincinnati.

For best coverage, verify thatMercy Health - Cincinnati and TheJewish Hospital are in-network pro-viders with your insurance carrier.

Those who are uninsured or un-derinsured (have high deductibles),can take advantage of financialneed-based assistance programs,Call 686-3300 for more information.

Make an appointment (required)

by calling 686-3300 or 1-855-PINK123 (1-855-746-5123).

The American Cancer Societyrecommends that women have amammogram every year starting atage 40. Screening mammogramsare usually a covered benefit withmost insurance carriers.

Expert radiologists read allmammograms and because a sec-ond look can mean a second chance,we double-check all mammogramswith the R2 ImageChecker, a com-puter-aided detection system thatdetects 23.4 percent more breastcancer than mammography alone.You and your physician receive acopy of the results.

Mobile mammography van set tovisit neighborhoods in November
