Greater Anderson Promotesushers in 2016 with a specialprogram encouraging open dis-cussion about race inequality.

The program, which coin-cides with the start of the Mar-tin Luther King, Jr. holidayweekend, is hosting a screeningand discussion of the film “TheColor of Fear” 9:30 a.m. to 12:30p.m. Saturday, Jan. 16, at theHeritage Universalist Unitari-an Church, 2710 Newtown Road.

In this film, eight men of dif-ferent racial and ethnic heritag-es share a poignant and deeplypersonal conversation about theeffects of racism in their lives.Through this screening, GAPPis providing a space for dia-logue and understanding aboutpeople's lived experience ofracism, Executive DirectorLouise Lawarre said.

GAPP’s tag line, “Diversity,Understanding, Inclusion,”speaks to two important goals:how people treat each otherday-to-day and how to disman-tle the inequality and injusticethat are imbedded in the struc-tures of society, she said.

“Our focus is primarily inour local greater Andersoncommunity. But to bridge theseparation between city andsuburbs, to work side-by-sidewith a diverse group of people,GAPP has been a member of theMartin Luther King Jr. Coali-tion for over a decade,” La-warre said.

During the last year and ahalf, both nationally and locally,the effects of racism have beenseen and felt, she said.

“In 2015, Cincinnati reeledwith the shooting death of Sam-uel DuBose,” Lawarre said.

What the Beech Acres Par-enting Center property mightlook like in the future remainsunknown, but it definitely willnot be the site of a new Ander-son High School.

The Forest Hills Board ofEducation recently voted tomove forward with all aspectsof the facility renovationplans, thus ending months ofspeculation about the possibil-ity of a new Anderson HighSchool being built on the site ofBeech Acres Parenting Center.

Public discussions regard-ing the Beech Acres ParentingCenter and possible futureuses started shortly after theAnderson Park District an-nounced plans to buy 36 acresfrom the parenting center forfuture use as a park and for theRecPlex. The bulk of the dis-cussion, however, did not focuson the park district’s plans, butthe so-called Anderson 2020Plan, which proposed con-struction of a new AndersonHigh School on the BeechAcres property and a multiusedevelopment on the currentAHS site.

The plan presented by a de-veloper resulted in a collabora-tive effort of the Anderson

Park District, Anderson Town-ship Trustees and the ForestHills School District. In the in-terest of allowing the three en-tities to fully vet the Anderson2020 Plan, the park districttransferred to the township itsBeech Acres purchase option.The township agreed to serveas a holder of the land until theAnderson 2020 Plan was vet-ted.

FHSD Board ofEducation

Forest Hills School BoardPresident Randy Smith saidthe board was interested in theBeech Acres plan, but a num-ber of the early concerns werenever fully addressed.

“From the very beginning

we identified five or six issuesthat needed solutions beforemoving ahead,” he said. “Wenever got satisfactory solu-tions for (these) issues.”

Among the concerns werewhether the district wouldhave enough revenue to paythe debt on the bonds thatwould have to have been takenout to build a new high school.

Additionally, Smith said thedistrict learned it wouldn’t re-ceive all of the tax incrementfinancing revenue.

He said the revenue sourcefor infrastructure improve-ments at not only the BeechAcres site, but at the AndersonHigh School location, also

Once the sale of Beech Acres Parenting Center to Anderson Township iscomplete, the future use of the site is uncertain. The only certainty is itwill not be the site of a new Anderson High School.

“And we struggled tograsp the reality de-scribed in the UrbanLeague report that Cin-cinnati is two, very un-equal, cities. The work ofchange is everyone’s todo. White people togetherwith people of color.”

That’s why GAPPworks to present opportu-nities like the Jan. 16 filmscreening for people tocome together, she said.In addition to the film

screening, GAPP will par-ticipate in the Martin Lu-ther King, Jr. Coalition’s41st annual events on Mar-tin Luther King, Jr. Day,Monday, Jan. 18.

The events on MLKDay will follow the tradi-tional route from theFreedom Center to Foun-tain Square to Music Hallfor a lively program, La-warre said. “I expect thespirit of this MLK Day tobe a clear, strong voice forchange, and the urgencyof this moment, to makeour noble dreams a livedreality,” she said.

The day’s schedule is:

10:30 a.m. - Commemora-tive Civil Rights Marchstarting at the FreedomCenter; 11a.m. - InterfaithPrayer Service on Foun-tain Square followed by amarch to Music Hall;Noon - a MLK Commemo-rative Celebration at Mu-sic Hall. The event is freeand open to the public.

needed to be clarified.Lastly, he said getting

the zone changes for thesites was something thatwould have had to be re-solved as well.

“I know everybody inthe district was excitedabout the possibility, butthe school district justcan’t take on a risky propo-sition,” he said.

Anderson TownshipTrustees

Township Trustee JoshGerth, who spearheadedthe effort to bring to thecommunity a new highschool and recreation cen-ter without the use of addi-tional tax dollars, said theidea has now been ex-

plored and the school isnot going to work there.

What will go there re-mains open for discussion.Negotiations to purchasethe Beech Acres propertyare underway.

“There will be a full vet-ting of input and analysisto make sure we do indeeduse Beech Acres for thehighest and best use. Idon’t know what it’s goingto look like,” he said.

The township needs arecreation complex.There’s been discussionwhether to maintain thecurrent RecPlex, renovatethe RecPlex, or if a new fa-cility should be construct-ed on the Beech Acres siteor elsewhere, Gerth said.

Anderson ParkDistrict

Anderson Parks Execu-tive Director Ken Kushn-er said that he doesn’tknow what’s going to hap-pen, but everyone is work-ing toward getting the pur-chase contract signed.

“We have the opportu-nity to make somethingreally great happen for thecommunity here,” Kushn-

er said. “Now it’s down tous and the township.”

Park Board PresidentNadine Gelter said it’s un-fortunate for the FHSDboard that a new Andersoncan’t be built on the BeechAcres site, but there wasabsolutely no change inthe plan from March tonow, she said.

“It was a worthy goal,but I am pleased about therenovations at my almamater and when it is fin-ished, I believe our resi-dents will be pleased aswell,” Gelter said.

Now she’s looking for-ward to the Beech Acresproperty being made intopark land. When the town-ship agreed to purchasethe land it was to serve as aholder until the Anderson2020 Plan was vetted and adecision regarding a newhigh school was estab-lished, she said.

“With a new AHS onthis site no longer feasible,the promise is the land willbe preserved as a park,”Gelter said.

Citizens group

Resident Joyce Gun-dling actively led a grass-roots group, AndersonConcerned Citizens, advo-cating for the full vettingof the Anderson 2020 Plan.No real progress was evermade, she said.

The township’s threegovernmental entities metin public Oct. 1 to discussBeech Acres, an ndicatedthat they would meetagain at the end of themonth. There was one pri-vate meeting in October,but no additional meetingswere held.

The November electioncame and went, and sincethen, basically nothing hashappened with the excep-tion that the park board re-moved a levy from the bal-lot, she said.

“I honestly feel ex-tremely disappointed inthe process, lied to, cheat-ed and disrespected as aresident. We are complete-ly missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity forour kids and our grandkids, and it makes me sad,”Gundling said in heremail.

BRIEFLY

Anderson Townshipresidents are known fortheir recycling effortsthroughout HamiltonCounty as evidenced by arecent award for the BestTownship Recycling Ratein 2014.

This success is fueled,in part, by the 24/7 dropoff recycling center onBeechmont Avenue.

Hoping to build on thatsuccess and accommo-date Forest Hills School

District as a new neigh-bor,the township is dis-persing its drop-off loca-tions throughout the com-munity.

Forest Hills announcedplans to buy the buildingat 7950 Beechmont Ave.,directly in front of thetownship’s recycling cen-ter. School administratorswill move from their For-est Road location to thenew Beechmont location.

Anderson Township

agreed to move its 27Rumpke recycling bins tomake way for parkingspaces.

Anderson Townshipplans to close the drop-offrecycling center onBeechmont and relocatethe recycling bins toschool sites. Specific loca-tions and details will beannounced this spring.

“No other changes tothe township’s current re-cycling efforts, including

adjustments related towhich items are accept-able to be recycled, areexpected,” Public WorksDirector Richard Shelleysaid.

Steve Sievers, Ander-son’s assistant adminis-trator for operations saidthat the township madethe accommodations towelcome the schools tothe site, which is adjacentto the township’s Opera-tions Center campus.

Anderson Township is consideringproposals from interested tenants tolease about 5,000 square feet of officeand studio space at Anderson Center.

This space is available due to thedownsizing of Anderson CommunityTelevision operations.

Remaining AC-TV functions con-tinue to operate at the center tempora-rily.

AC-TV may continue to use part ofthis space in the future or relocate,township Administrator Vicky Earhartsaid.

“The township is interested in ex-ploring opportunities to bring a compli-

mentary user to Anderson Center, anduse the lease payments to help reducethe taxpayer’s costs to maintain the fa-cility,” she said.

“We believe this space presents awonderful opportunity, and look for-ward to seeing what interest and oppor-tunities may be suggested,” said Trus-tee Andrew Pappas.

For more information, or to learnmore, visit the “News” section of thetownship’s website atwww.AndersonTownship.org, or con-tact Assistant Administrator for Opera-tions Steve Sievers at 688-8400 [email protected].

MOUNT WASHINGTON –Since its formation more thanone year ago, the Mount Wash-ington Welcome and Informa-tion Station is more than abricks and mortar structure.

It’s a location to serve all ofMount Washington, said CQGe-orge Lehocky, the Mount Wash-ington resident who came upwith the idea for the station.

The idea behind this was toprovide a resource for newresidents to Mt. Washington,Lehocky said, who also serves

on the board of the MountWashington Community Coun-cil.

The station opened in Octo-ber 2014. It had previouslyserved as a substation for theCincinnati Police. However, ithad been vacant for a numberof years.

In addition to providinginformation for new residents,the station has helped in pro-viding volunteers for activitiesin the community ranging fromthe Pumpkin Chuck to the Holi-day Walk.

It has also served as a loca-tion where ideas have been

generated such as a proposedcommunity garden and a LoveYour Neighbor initiative whichwas introduced during thesummer.

“One of the objectives wasto survive and mature,” Le-hocky said. “We have done that.

“(The station) has become avalid tool to add value to acommunity.”

Jody Pol, a board member ofthe Mount Washington Commu-nity Council who has also beenactive in promoting the station,said the Welcome Station isunique in the Cincinnati area.

Pol has been instrumental in

generating interest in the sta-tion via social media, specifi-cally Facebook.

One of the goals in 2016 is toincrease the station’s socialmedia presence.

Lehocky said another goal isto create a full or part-timeposition at the station thatwould allow for more hours ofoperation.

It’s all about involvement,said Jack Vilardo, president ofthe Mount Washington Commu-nity Urban RedevelopmentCorp. and owner of the proper-ty where the Welcome Stationis located. “That is the purpose

- community involvement.”Mount Washington resident

Wendy O’Neal agreed the ideabehind the station is generatingcommunity involvement.

“(It’s) a grassroots group ofpeople taking ownership andresponsibility,” she said. “It’snot waiting for someone else.”

Lehocky said a focus for2016 will be on getting moreexposure for the station and tocontinue to promote what ispositive in Mount Washington.

Updates on the station canbe found on Facebook underthe “Mt. Washington Welcomeand Information Station.”

The Forest HillsBoard of Educationunanimously re-electedRandy Smith as Boardpresident during its Jan.4 organizational meet-ing.

Forest Heis was unan-imously elected as vicepresident for the newyear, replacing TonyHemmelgarn.

“We are fortunate tohave a board that is ded-icated to doing what isright for students, par-ents, faculty and taxpay-ers,” Smith said. “It’s apleasure to serve on aboard that is collabora-tive, really works hardand goes the extra milefor our school system. Ilook forward to continu-ing to focus on trans-forming our programsand facilities while en-

gagingstaff, stu-dents andresi-dents.”

Addi-tionalboard ap-point-

ments included designat-ing Smith as the legisla-tive liaison and memberof the policy committee,Hemmelgarn as the stu-dent achievement liai-son, Heis as the tax in-centive review councilrepresentative, JimFrooman as the liaison tothe Forest Hills Founda-tion for Education andJulie Bissinger as thesafety committee repre-sentative and policycommittee chairperson.

“The Forest HillsBoard of Education is

comprised of dedicatedindividuals who ask theright questions and whowork to consider everypoint of view beforemaking decisions,” Su-perintendent Scot Pre-bles said. He officiallyjoined the district Jan. 1.

Also during Monday’smeeting, board membersunanimously voted tomove forward with all as-pects of the 2014 commu-nity-approved bond ren-ovations, inclusive ofthose planned for Ander-son High School.

After 10 months of col-laborative work betweentownship trustees, thePark Board and the For-est Hills Board of Educa-tion, the Forest HillsBoard concluded thatconstruction of a newhigh school on the Beech

Acres property is notfeasible. The Board,therefore, recommittedto the 2014 community-approved bond renova-tions, including those atAnderson High School.

Board President Ran-dy Smith cited theBoard’s dissatisfactionwith the Beech Acresproject’s insufficientfeasibility in areas of taxincrement financing,funding gaps, sufficientland needed for a highschool and zoning re-quirements.

“Though all involvedwere excited about thepossibilities of the pro-posed Beech Acres pro-ject, after 10 months ofinvestigation, we learnedthat the proposal for anew high school on theBeech Acres property is

simply infeasible,”Smith said. “It is time tomove on with the ap-proved bond issue pro-jects.”

The Board of Educa-tion also adopted a meet-ing schedule for 2016 (be-low). Meetings will be onthe fourth Monday ofeach month at 7 p.m. atAnderson Center, 7850Five Mile Road, unlessotherwise noted.

JANUARY 13, 2016 • FOREST HILLS JOURNAL • 7ANEWS

Out here on my little patch of heaven, I’minto what is called “all seasons gardening.” Idon’t stop growing produce because it’s cold

out. I have salad greens andparsley in my window flowerboxes.

We’re expecting single digitsand that will mean the end ofthem until spring. But for now, Ilike strolling a few feet outsidemy kitchen door to harvestgreens as I need them. Theytaste so good with my Italiandressing.

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is anherbalist, educator, Jungle Jim’s

Eastgate culinary professional and author.Find her blog online at Abouteating.com.Email her at [email protected] “Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line.

Blender Italiandressing for salad

Put in blender andblend until smooth:

3/4 cup oil1/4 cup white wine

vinegar1 clove garlic3 tablespoons shredded

Parmesan1/2 teaspoon sugarSalt and pepper1/2 teaspoon dried

oregano1/4 teaspoon dry mustard

(or teaspoon of Dijon)Few sprigs parsley if you

have it.

Amish sweet friendship bread

Guess what was requested by a “fan.” Friendship bread! Talk about a vintage recipe, thisis it. I remember getting my first loaf along with a batch of starter from my friend, Bert, whohas a farm down the road. The whole idea of friendship bread is just that, to share. And it’s atimely lesson in food chemistry for the kids, too.

To me, this is more like a cake than a bread. The whole kitchen will be perfumed with aheavenly aroma as it bakes.

The starter takes 10 days. It’s fun to watch it bubble, smell yeasty and ferment as the daysprogress. Be sure and give the sourdough starter recipe along with the bread recipe to recipi-ents. I have a feeling they’ll love the bread so much that they’ll start their own batch of starterto share! I also like to give slices of the bread with the recipe for sampling.

First, make the sourdough starter:Leave this starter on the counter, don’t refrigerate. Put in large bowl, glass or ceramic,

not metal (some metals interfere with fermentation) covered lightly. Or put in very largesealed baggie. If air forms squeeze it out. Instead of stirring, squeeze bag. The little ones loveto do the squeezing.

The starter will have a yeasty/sourdough aroma and will bubble up at times, especiallyafter the days you “feed” it. In between it may look a little flat, but that’s OK.

Day one:Stir together:

1 cup flour1 cup sugar1 cup milk1 envelope (.25 oz) active yeast stirred into 1/4 cup warm water (let it foam a bit before

stirring into flour, sugar and milk)Days 2 through 5: stir with spoonDay 6: stir in 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milkDays 7 through 9: stir with spoonDay 10: add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk and blend well.

Then divide the starter into 1 cup measures. Keep 1 cup for yourself to make bread andgive others away in very large baggies with recipe. (I can’t tell you exactly how many cupsyou’ll get depending upon the aggressiveness of your starter, etc. but you should get at least 4cups).

Now here’s the recipe to make Amish sweet friendship bread. I have another recipe thatdoesn’t use pudding. But I have to say this one seems to be the favorite.

Beat together:

1 cup starter3 large eggs1 cup oil1/2 cup milk2 teaspoons vanilla

In a separate bowl, stir together and then beat with egg mixture:

2 cups flour1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon baking soda1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 cup chopped nuts (opt)1 large box instant vanilla pudding1 cup sugar + extra for pan2 teaspoons cinnamon + extra for pan

Preheat oven to 325. Spray 2 loaf pans, 9-by5. Sprinkle bottom and sides generously withextra sugar and cinnamon. Dump out excess. Pour batter in pans. Bake 50-60 minutes or untiltoothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Gilding the lily:Sprinkle top with a bit of sugar and cinnamon before baking.

A publication of

Usually almost half of usmake a New Year’s resolutionaccording to StatisticBrain-.com. For 2016, which half areyou in?

Whether we make a NewYear’s resolution or not, as-sessing life-long goals on anannual basis seems like a goodidea this time of year. Perhapsthat goal assessment results ina resolution or maybe a de-sired set of activities towardsmeeting the goal. After all,most goals involve multiplesteps before they’re completed(I can almost hear the age-oldquestion now... “How do youeat an elephant?”... Answer:“One bite at a time.”)

So maybe rather than lofty“creating world peace” resolu-tions, we can identify a few

activities tomake theworld a littlebrighter andmore peace-ful? And whilewe can’t al-ways meet theresolutionfully, thinkingabout things tochange andidentifying

some personal actions aremovement in the right direc-tion.

This “more peaceableearth” goal strikes me hardright now. A good friend, men-tor and retired Mount Wash-ington Presbyterian Churchpastor, Rev. Dr. LP Jones, hasbeen on a long road with brain

cancer. His regular worshipbenediction while at MWPC isworth sharing with all of you...“Friends, life is short, andthere is precious little time togladden the hearts of thosewho travel with us. So makehaste to be kind, and be quickto love, knowing that in everyact of love and kindness, theGod who first formed us,transforms us and re-forms us,again and again. And certainlyfor those blessings, all of God’speople can say...Amen”

Whew. I don’t know aboutyou, but I need to keep work-ing on gladdening the hearts ofmy loved ones and all peopleon this earth. This is certainlyworth a resolution/efforts.Prospective activities to meetthat goal might include...

» A regular “random act ofkindness” - daily, weekly,monthly or whatever feelsright (for ideas, do an Internetsearch for “RAKtivist” and“kindness ideas” – there arelots of great ideas at the web-site).

» Outward actions – maybea smile and wave to people onthe street and wherever weare? Mother Teresa is creditedwith the statement “Peacebegins with a smile.” So, may-be we add ‘and a wave’ and ourarea’s mantra could be: “Peacebegins with a smile and awave?”

Whatever positive effortswe resolve to do this year, let’sgive it our all. Perhaps it willlead to a more peaceful exis-tence for us, with a resulting

positive impact on our lovedones, our community and ourworld as well?

And if you see a bald guywith a smile on his face wavingat you, maybe you’ll wave backand feel just a bit more peace-ful? :-)

Enjoy the day…and thememories.

Steve Long, an AndersonTownship resident, describeshimself as an “aspiring memo-ry missionary.” He and his wifeKim are having fun with theirLong Memories efforts(www.LongMemories.info),focusing on helping others in“Making, Capturing, Orga-nizing and Sharing Memo-ries…Now and (Virtually) For-ever.”

Resolution: A more peaceableearth, beginning with me

Jan. 6 questionWhat is the best way to

handle the Syrian refugee situa-tion?

“I honestly do not know,but whatever it is, just thoughit is opposite of Obama’s.”

M.A.M.

”Whatever’s not gettingdone - at least not as fast/effectively/efficiently as pos-sible - can all be dumped atthose feet-dragging sopho-moronics in our Congress.Don’t know if you happen tobe aware of this or not, butour POTUS is not a Monarch;his powers are both sharedand limited, as are those ofthe other two coequalbranches; besides which, theydon’t happen to be providedwith ‘magic wands’ upon tak-ing office.”

J.B.

“Eliminate ISIS, eliminatethe refugee crisis. Simple. Ofcourse completely eliminatingISIS is most assuredly notsimple or, sadly, possible. Analternative I saw of Facebook(so it must be true) is cen-tered around the followingconcept:

“1. Properly vet and allowin a refugee family.

“2. Pay for temporaryhousing for the mother andchildren under 18.

“3. The father and childrenover 18 are inducted into ourarmy and trained andequipped to fight ISIS.

“4. Those trained folks aresent back to fight ISIS.

“5. The whole family isreunited in Syria once ISIS isdefeated or at least pushedout of Syria.

“Could work.”M.J.F.

“There are many refugeesfleeing Syria. I would thinkthat many other Muslim na-tions of the Middle East wouldstep up to help these folks.

“Most of those MiddleEastern nations are rich fromoil and of course subscribe tothe Muslim Bible, the Quran(or Koran). I suspect there issomething in their ‘bible’

where Allah recommends anact of brotherhood. Did youever wonder why the Muslimsare leaving their homelandand migrating to non-Muslimcountries in Europe etc? GoFigure!”

T.D.T.

Dec. 23/30 questionLooking to 2016, if you can

grant one wish for your com-munity, what would it be?

“My wish for the communi-ty in 2016 is that we all be alittle more open-minded andempathetic with people whoare different from ourselves.There are many flowers inour community garden. Eachhas its own beauty.”

A.T.

“My wish would be that allthe Colerain residents realizehow lucky we are to live here.No. 1 - We are blessed with the‘best’ EMS/fire departmentsin Hamilton County. No. 2 -Our road department. I amalways amazed when it snows,how quickly our roads arecleared. They do such a goodjob. Without their good work,our EMS/fire department andpolice could not get around todo their jobs. So, Thank you toboth departments for all ofyour hard work.”

J.R.

“Here is my response toyour ‘This week’s question’ ongranting one wish for mycommunity.

Thousands of cities all overthe world have pledged toaddress global warming. Iwish that our suburban com-

munities would join with themand do the same. Passing lawsand revised building codesthat decrease our energy useand transition us to cleanrenewable energy will haveseveral benefits. For one, itwill help decrease the rates oflung cancer, emphysema,asthma, and birth defects. Itwill also, by encouragingenergy efficiency, save usmoney. And thirdly, of course,we will better live in balancewith what the Earth can pro-vide. As a start, our local gov-ernments can incentiviseweatherization/insulation forhomes and businesses, in-centivise solar panels (e.g.Solarize Cincinnati) and re-place their vehicle fleet withelectric vehicles.”

“For 2016 my wish is thateach of us, ordinary people,step up and take back ourcountry from leaders andothers in power, whether theyare in politics, our schools,our churches, our businesses,our communities. We need tostand up to the continual liesand scare tactics and sayenough is enough. We need tolove and care for each otherand not give power to thosewho promote divisiveness andhate. It can start right here,when we vote local politiciansout, when we say to our pastorthat our God loves all, andwhen we stand up to the bul-lies at school and at work whopick on those who are differ-ent. Think about it, each of uscan make a difference if wehave the courage to act.

“Simply challenge the sta-tus quo of those who promotehate.”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat changes, if any,wouldyou make to the primary sys-tem for choosing presidentialcandidates?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers [email protected] withCh@troom in the subject line.

American health care ismoving towards a help your-self mentality that encourageseveryone, even seniors, tobecome proactive about theirown health. The new age ofhealth care following the Af-fordable Care Act has placedmuch of the responsibility onthe individual to keep in thebest possible physical shape toavoid chronic illnesses.

Hospitals and other careproviders have initiated pre-vention and wellness programsto encourage patients to beproactive about their health.These prevention and wellnessinitiatives are being guided bya number of factors within theAmerican healthcare system:

Chronic diseases are in-creasing with our aging pop-ulation.

As adults grow older, theyoften become overweight andinactive which can lead todiabetes, heart problems an-dother chronic conditions.

People have trouble commu-nicating with their doctors.

According to the Center forAdvanced Health, only abouthalf of all Medicare patientsbring a list of questions to asktheir doctors during appoint-ments. About one-third of pa-tients over the age of 44 suf-fering from a chronic condi-tion say they sometimes leavethe doctor office feeling con-fused

Many people are reactive totheir own healthcare. OneInternet survey cited by theCenter for Advanced Healthdemonstrates just how reac-tive most patients are: 90 per-cent of respondents said theywould become active in im-proving their own health ifthey were diagnosed with achronic illness. Taking controlof one’s own health only after

an illness occurs is much toolate to improve health duringsenior life.

You can enjoy a better life-style in your senior years byadopting a proactive approachto your own healthcare today.You could, for example, startby:

» Work on your health liter-acy. Learn everything you canabout good health; educateyourself before you becomesick so you can learn symp-toms and preventative strate-gies.

» See your doctor regularly.Bring a list of questions to askand write down the answers.Ask a friend or family memberto come with you if you tend tofeel confused or overwhelmed.

» Adopt healthy habits. Eatlow-calorie, nutritious mealsand exercise regularly to keepyour weight under control.Stop using tobacco and drinkalcohol only in moderation, ifyou drink at all. Proper nutri-tion, physical activity, healthylifestyle and slim waistlinereduce your risk for devel-oping many chronic illnesses.

You can improve your ownhealth and the quality of careyou receive by becomingproactive. Learn about yourbody and the illnesses that canaffect you. Communicate withyour doctor as an informedpatient. Become proactiveabout your health today toenjoy a better life tomorrow.

NEWTOWN - Duplicatinglast year’s 19-3 finish won’t beeasy for second-year MiamiValley Christian Academy boysbasketball coach Marty Carter.

The Lions graduated Ma-lique Ward, who averaged 22points per game in addition tobeing the team leader in re-bounds, assists, blocks andsteals.

However, Newtown’s ver-sion of “Coach Carter” still hasthe Lions roaring to victorymore often than not. MVCA fin-ished the 2015 portion of theirschedule with just one loss, a 64-33 loss to Division I Anderson inthe Redskins holiday tourna-ment. The Lions played Ander-

son close on their home floor un-til the middle of the third quar-ter.

“We were down 19-10 and cutit to 21-19 and then missed a lay-up that would have tied it,” Car-ter said. “Then, it kind of blewopen. The pressure they bringcauses turnovers if you’re notexperienced.”

The Redskins held MVCAsenior Jamie Carson to ninepoints as they had the luxury ofguarding the sharpshooter withplayers equal to his height. For-tunately, Carson used the gameas a lesson and came out thenext night against New Rich-mond to score 32 points in a 63-58 MVCA victory.

“We wanted to give our guysan experience,” Carter said ofthe two-day late December holi-

day affair. “When we said wewould play in it, I knew it wouldbe a tough experience.”

As an assistant with DivisionIII Madeira a few years ago,Carter saw the benefit of play-ing in holiday tournaments withbigger, Division I schools. Like-wise, he wants to get the Lionsready for a run as well as even-tually prepare them for theirmove into the Miami ValleyConference in the 2017 schoolyear.

Carson will be gone by then,but the school hopes to attractathletes wanting to compete inthe league with the likes of Sum-mit Country Day, CincinnatiCountry Day, Clark Montessori,Cincinnati Hills Christian Acad-emy and Cincinnati Christian.

As for this season, Carson’s

scoring is up four or five pointsfrom last year in the 20-21points per game range. Mostteams try to keep him from hov-ering around the three-pointline, but not all succeed.

“I think they focus on him,”Carter said. “It makes it toughto score in those situations.When he’s open he can knock itdown.”

Running the Lions offense ispoint guard Brad Grosjean. Theenergetic cross country runneris second behind Carson in as-sists. When not spotting Carson,Griffin Dickerson, NathanielArington and Tony Caner areable scorers. Dickerson is sec-ond on the team at 10 points pergame and has a high of 27.

ANDERSON TWP. - Redskinssenior guard DeAnthony McCal-lum has led the team in scoringeach of the past two years. Heappears well on his way to lead-ing the team for a third.

He’s averaged 11 points inthose two previous seasons. Thisyear, he’s almost doubled his av-erage, scoring 21.2 points agame.

When it comes to describingMcCallum’s game, Andersonhead coach Chris DeLotell intro-duced a notion that’s likely tomake opposing coaches cringe.

“He’s improved so much andmade himself really hard toguard,” the coach said. “He’s be-come a dangerous outside shoot-er and gotten physically strong-er. He’s driving to the basket andfinishing more.”

And if he doesn’t make theshot, he’s bound to get pointsfrom the charity stripe. He’sshooting 76 percent from theline this season.

He’s embodied the style ofplay the Redskins like to utilize.

At one point this season, De-Lotell said the team had moremakes from the free-throw linethan any other team in the East-ern Cincinnati Conference hadattempts.

“I was very proud of thatstat,” the coach said.

McCallum’s offensive skillstypically garner the bulk of theattention so much so that his de-fense doesn’t receive enoughcredit. Often times, he’s drawingthe opponent’s best player.

“Those guys are used to hav-ing big games when they areplaying other opponents,” DeLo-tell said. “But they don’t play aswell when he’s on them.”

DeLotell wouldn’t go as far asto say the team takes its cuesfrom DeAnthony, rather thatMcCallum fits seamlessly into

the culture the team is trying tocultivate.

However, the coach did saythe team tends to use his dunksand athleticism to ramp up theenergy and intensity.

“In a game against Glen Estethis season, we went on a 19-0run or something like that,” De-Lotell said. “DeAnthony had 17of those points.”

McCallum, along with eightother seniors, has Andersonpoised to take the next step.

Two years ago, this team wonjust four games. Last year, theRedskins improved by sevengames and advanced to the sec-ond round of the tournament.

As of Jan. 10, the team had se-cured nine wins and appears tobe well on its way to eclipsinglast year’s win total.

“We’re hoping this year canbe that next step for this pro-gram,” the coach said. “We havea lot of experienced guys andhave every reason to be optimis-tic about this year.”

Redskins senior guard DeAnthonyMcCallum drops in a layup forAnderson in its victory over MVCAthis season.

NEWTOWN - Turpin’s girls basketball teamshowed it was ready for the 2016 portion of itsschedule, while Madeira appeared to be stuck in2015 for much of their Jan. 4 game.

The Spartans led 11-2 after the first frame,but had to hang on en route to a 39-32 win againstthe Amazons at Klinger Court.

At one point, Turpin led 27-5 in the third quar-ter before the Amazons got rolling.

“It’s always tough to play games when you’reup 27-5, but Madeira is a heck of a team,” Turpincoach Stacy Alexander said. “I know they canscore. They average 60 points a game. It was un-likely first half for them. I told the girls they

were going to make a run. They just made toolong of a run and made it closer than we wouldhave liked down the stretch.”

The Spartans played Milford last Saturdaybefore playing again at Loveland Jan. 13.

INDIAN HILL - Formany area teams, the 30thannual Indian Cup hostedby Cincinnati Country Daywas the starting point of thegymnastics season.

And what a start it wasfor Anderson junior CaseyGittelman. The former clubgymnast won the vault, un-even bars and all-aroundcompetitions.

She scored a 9.05 onvault, a 9.2 on bars, 8.2 onbeam and an 8.75 on thefloor exercise. Her all-around score was 35.2.

“This is my first highschool meet I’ve competedin,” Gittelman said. “I feltprepared for it, but I know Ihave a lot I can work on forthe end of the season. I feltlike it was a good start.”

Gittelman participatedat the club level until themiddle of her sophomoreyear. She took a year off torecalibrate and is now backwith gusto.

Coach Stacey Bailey’sgoal for Gittelman Satur-day was for her to go outand work through her rou-tines in the cleanest possi-ble way. She did more thanthat with the three goldmedals.

The exciting part for thecoach and the Gymskins isthat she will only get betteras the season progresses.

“She’s nowhere nearwhere she’s going to be lat-er in the season,” Baileysaid. “For her to come outwith three gold medals ispretty awesome.”

Turpin also had a goodshowing in this marqueeevent. Haley Witherell,Brittany Gardner andGretchen Watkins pep-pered the top-10 standings.

That trio helped theSpartans pick up a third-place finish behind champi-on Centerville and Troy.

“We did better than wedid in the meet before thisone, but not as good as weare going to do later in theseason,” coach Gail Maun-drell said. “We have roomfor growth.”

Event organizer and

Country Day coach SteveConner liked what he sawfrom his team as well.

“I liked the improve-ment,” he said. “We don’thave girls who have clubexperience so to see the im-provements they are mak-ing and the increase in dif-ficulty is great. Each meetbrings a better score andthis was our highest scoreof the year. I’m really hap-py with where we are.”

Teams from Beaver-creek, Hamilton, LakotaEast, Lakota West, Miamis-burg, Northmont, Thomas

Worthington and Wester-ville Central competed asdid individual competitorsfrom Milford, Walnut Hills,Xenia and Sycamore.

“The talent level herewas one of the best I’veseen in a long time,” Connersaid. “The gymnasts in Cin-cinnati represented them-selves well and I think willmake a good run at going tostate. It’s a fun meet tohave. I know the coachesand gymnasts really appre-ciate it. We’re looking for-ward to running this meetas long as we can.”

ProKids, the localagency which focuses ongiving a voice to childrenin the Hamilton Countychild protection system,has named Diane Custerof Mount Washington asits Merilee Turner Volun-teer of the Year.

Custer is a ProKidsCourt Appointed SpecialAdvocates, or CASAvolunteer, trained andsupported by ProKids toadvocate in HamiltonCounty Juvenile Court onbehalf of children who,through no fault of theirown, are removed fromtheir families.

CASA volunteerswork with family mem-bers, foster families,county social workers,school professionals,healthcare providers,therapists and others todetermine the best in-terest of the children

they serve. CASA volun-teers help find safe, per-manent and nurturinghomes for the individualchildren they work withand break the viciouscycle of child abuse andneglect.

ProKids Board Presi-dent Tom Cuni said Pro-Kids volunteers “pro-duce miracles. Childrenwho were in danger arenow safe. Children whowere not stable, nowhave forever families.”

Custer said she com-mitted to ProKids be-cause “I believe that allchildren deserve to havea family, whether it isone person or a housefull of people that be-lieve in them and valuethem for who they are.That’s what I believegives us the strength tobecome our best selves.”

Executive Director

Tracy Cook noted thatthe work of ProKidsCASA volunteers can bedifficult “in the face ofthe trauma these chil-dren have suffered andthe uncertainty of theirfutures.”

“And all of this occursin an extraordinarilyoverburdened systemthat’s also under-re-sourced,” she said. “Butwhat I also know is theimportance of a CASAvolunteer being thereevery single day. Youchange the arc of ourchildren’s lives, theirchildren’s lives and leavea legacy for our entirecommunity.”

Imagine getting aknock on your door andfinding an agent for theInternational CriminalPolice Organization,“Interpol,” who wants toask you some questions.

That’s what happenedto an area woman aftershe tried to book a vaca-tion in Italy for her andher daughters. MargaritaBahri-Keeton has trav-eled all over the world,for both business andpleasure, so she thoughtnothing of looking onlinefor a home to rent whilein Italy.

Bahri-Keeton said, “Iended up choosing one inparticular and we hadgreat conversations viaemail. I sent my moneyand about six or eightweeks later an agentfrom the Criminal Bu-reau of Investigationshowed up at my frontdoor.”

Bahri-Keeon hadwired $5,000 to the manwhom she thought wasthe owner of that housein Italy. She received awritten contract for thehome and wired the mon-ey to a bank in Spain.

“When the Interpolrepresentative came tomy house he had a filewith all the evidence. He

had mybank ac-count in-formationand re-ceipts ofthe moneythat I sentto thatbank ac-count,” shesaid.

The Interpol investi-gation determined crimi-nals in Spain had hi-jacked that Italian villaowner’s email account sothe money was reallybeing sent to criminalsnot the villa owner.

So far, the Interpolrepresentative told her,they have arrested oneperson in Spain.

“I have been scammedso Interpol was investi-gating the bank accountand this individual inSpain for alleging to bethe representative of thisvilla,” Bari-Keeton said.

She wasn’t the onlyone who wired money tothe criminals in Spain.The Interpol representa-tive told her about eightothers – from all over theworld – also got caughtup in this scam.

Bari-Keeton says she’slearned a valuable lessonabout wiring money to

strangers – never do it.She had used a well-known website to findthe villa but – and here’sthe warning – she wentoff that site and begansending emails directlyto the man she thoughtwas the villa owner.

A spokesperson forthat website tells me youshould always plan yourtrip with the online travelsite directly – and paywith a credit cardthrough the travel siteitself. That way you notonly get the security ofusing your credit card,but you get the peace ofmind protection offeredby the website.

If the person you’relooking to rent fromdoesn’t subscribe to thewebsite’s peace of mindprotection – which allowsyou to pay with a creditcard-– look elsewhere.

POLICE REPORTS

Forget the negative imagesof rocking chairs and idlenessto describe the elderly. TheseSeniors Who Rock are an inspi-ration for their achievements.In November to celebrate their40th anniversary, Pro Seniorshonored Marty Brennaman(Anderson Township), SisterRose Ann Fleming (Norwood),the Honorable Nathaniel Jones(East Walnut Hills) and MaryMeinhardt (East Price Hill) as“Seniors Who Rock.”

Brennaman has been theiconic radio voice of the Cincin-nati Reds since 1974.

Fleming, an attorney, is spe-cial assistant to Xavier Univer-sity President The Rev. MichaelGraham, and an NCAA faculty

athletic representative for Xa-vier, working with the men’sbasketball players.

Judge Jones has had a distin-guished career that includesserving as general counsel ofNAACP and on the US Court ofAppeals for the Sixth Circuit.

Meinhardt is a dedicated ad-vocate for seniors, serving as avolunteer guardian for Cincin-nati Area Senior Services andboard member of EPIC Houseand Pro Seniors.

Each honoree talked about aquote that has inspired them.Brennaman chose two quotes:Grantland Rice’s “For when theone great scorer comes to writeagainst your name, he marksnot that you won or lost, but how

you played the game,” and“Don’t pass up the opportunityto apologize for a mistake.”

Fleming showed how the Bi-ble verse “Encourage one an-other day after day” has beenmeaningful for her.

Jones quoted Pastor MartinNiemöller’s famous poem,“First they came for the social-ists and I did not speak out be-cause I was not a Socialist . . .”And Meinhardt urged thecrowd to “just do it.”

In 40 years, Pro Seniors hashelped more than 110,000 sen-iors with legal problems, hasmade over 15,000 visits to long-term care facilities, and has re-covered over $36,000,000 in re-tirement benefits.
