Bombs threats last weekthat forced the evacuations ofNorth College Hill elementary,middle and high schools haveresulted in the arrest of aschool security guard.

Bond for North College Hillschool security guard Christo-pher Files, accused of makingbomb threats against the ele-mentary and high school wasset at $200,000 March 24.

North College Hill PoliceChief Ryan Schrand saidMarch 23 his department usedGPS tracking to “ping,” or lo-cate, the prepaid cell phoneFiles used to make the threats.

“When we pinged the phoneand suddenly it’s here in the

school andaround theschool, and I’vetaken every-thing away fromteachers andkids, well, who isthere left?”Schrand said.“And I started

tracking it, calling the phoneand finding it myself. That’swhen I narrowed it down tohim.”

Schools were dismissedearly after Files’ arrest.

Files has no criminal history,police said, and was chargedwith two felony counts of in-ducing panic – one for eachthreat made March 21 andMarch 22.

Schools Superintendent Ga-ry Gellert said Files was added

to staff two weeks ago in re-sponse to a large fight that oc-curred on school property.

The evacuations were con-ducted as a precaution, andGellert said he was “95 percentsure” there was nothing dan-gerous on school grounds.

The school was swept forbombs Wednesday and policesaid it was secure. The schoolwill be checked again Thurs-day morning.

North College Hill officialssaid the elementary schoolbuilding was inspected by po-lice and K-9 units Wednesdayand was secured.

The first threat was madeMonday, March 21, against thehigh school, located in samebuilding as the middle school.

The second threat was Tues-day, March 22, against the ele-

mentary school.The schools were open

Thursday and Friday. Springbreak started on March 28,Gellert said.

Bags and purses were notpermitted in the school onThursday and Friday as a pre-caution.

Officials also told studentsto bring their lunches to schoolin clear plastic bags.

“Evil is not going to winhere. That was an evil act. Witheverything going on in theworld,” Gellert said.

“Evil’s not going to win here.We’ll be open (Thursday). Ihope parents and kids feel com-fortable and safe. I understandotherwise.

Finneytown Local SchoolDistrict took the plunge, add-ing its financial information toOhio Checkbook, Ohio’s online,searchable database of finan-cial information.

The district has postedmore than 31,000 transactionsthat represent more than $51million in district spendingover the past two years. Trea-

surer David Oli-verio said thedistrict be-lieves OhioCheckbooktakes the dis-trict’s financialtransparency toa higher leveland the districtis pleased to be

part of the partnership.“We pride ourselves on our

stewardship and buildingtrust,” Oliverio said. “The con-sensus among the superinten-dent and the board of educa-tion was that this was a goodthing. It was an easy sell. And itdovetails nicely with our ef-forts over the past year to en-gage and communicate withthe community.”

The checkbook database isintended to help make compar-isons of expenditures betweenlocal governments possible.Last year, the U.S. Public Inter-est Research Group rankedOhio No. 1 in transparency inthe country for providing on-line access to governmentspending data, citing thecheckbook website.

“Ohio’s site populates in-stant search suggestions basedon the letters typed into thesearch bar, creating a websitethat looks and behaves muchlike the top search enginesOhioans most commonly visitand interact with elsewhere onthe internet,” the report said.“This feature aids transparen-

cy by helping users track downinformation without needingprior knowledge of exactsearch terms. In addition, ev-ery web page has the phonenumber and email address fora point of contact in state gov-ernment, as well as socialmedia ‘share’ buttons.”

Ohio climbed from 46th tofirst in the spending transpar-enecy rankings as a result ofthe website launch. Ohio re-ceived a perfect score of 100points – the highest score in thehistory of the U.S. PIRG trans-parency rankings.

Ohio Treasurer Josh Man-del said his vision was to createan army of citizen watchdogswho are empowered to holdpublic officials accountable.

His office pays for the website.

It’s been almost a year sincethe Northwest Local SchoolDistrict became the first of 630Ohio public school districts topost its expenditures onlinewith Ohio Checkbook, and nowFinneytown Local School Dis-trict has joined the transparen-cy program, posting its finan-cial information on Ohio Trea-surer Josh Mandel’s website.

Northwest Treasurer AmyWells sent the district’s data toMandel’s office, after the dis-trict announced it would par-ticipate in the accountabilityproject late in 2014. When the“local government” tab on thewebsite at www.ohiocheck-book.com went live, Northwest

residents had financial infor-mation from fiscal years 2011-2015 at their fingertips.

Wells saidthe district isloading the 2015informationinto the system.Northwestloads informa-tion annuallyrather thanreal-time be-cause the sys-

tem doesn’t allow districts tocorrect information once it’sbeen submitted. So if a check iscalled back and re-issued, itcould show up in the check-book twice, and Wells said it’s

She said she has onlyhad one person submit aquestion about informa-tion on the website.

Other public entitieshave joined the district inputting expenditures on-line. Colerain Townshipdoes it. So does Green-hills.

Colerain Township Fis-cal Officer Heather Har-low said the township waspart of the pilot for town-

ships and local govern-ments and said the infor-mation in the checkbookhas always been availableonline for township resi-dents on the township’swebsite atcoleraintwp.org. She saysshe has not seen a changein the amount of requestsfor information and shethinks that’s because thetownship had posted theinformation on the town-ship’s website in PDFform before joining OhioCheckbook. Harlow saidshe is also in the processof uploading 2015 infor-mation to the database.

Mount Healthy is plan-ning to make sure resi-dents have a great time atthe Assumption Churchfestival again this year.

The city had problemsduring past festivals andMount Healthy PoliceChief Vince Demasi says asafety plan is one way tobe proactive. A shooting atthe festival in 2014 was thecatalyst for the proactiveapproach to security forthe the church festival,and the city plans to followthe blueprint it developed

in 2015. Last

year, De-masiworkedwith S.GregoryBaker, aconsultantwith more

than 30 years of leader-ship experience in police-community relations,community development,economic developmentand workforce develop-ment who serves as the ex-ecutive director of theCincinnati Initiative toReduce Violence, a group/gang violence reductionstrategy, to craft a planwith festival organizers,community development,economic developmentand workforce develop-ment. While with the Cin-cinnati Police Depart-ment, Baker was execu-tive manager of communi-ty relations, where he led

the implementation ofcommunity problem-ori-ented policing, an intelli-gence-based policingstrategy and served as thefounding director ofCIRV.

City Manager Bill Ko-cher said the plan workedwell last year, and the cityand church are workingtogether to repeat thatsuccess. Council ap-proved the ordinance nowthat will establish tempor-ary curfews for the event.Mount Healthy has a year-round 11 p.m. curfew forteens under 18.

Like last year, the cur-few would begin at 9 p.m.for juveniles 16 years ofage or younger, who arenot with a parent or legalguardian, actively work-ing, or leaving the eventarea on Friday, June 10,and Saturday, June 11, andat 8 p.m. Sunday, June 12.Curfew for those 18 yearswill begin at 10 p.m. The

curfew will be enforced inthe event area betweenAdams Road, Kinney Ave-nue, Harrison Avenue,and Seward Avenue.

The festival plan relieson cooperation from fairgoers and community vol-unteers. The event areaand adjacent areas aremonitored by trainedevent monitors, who willagain be provided by thecity through OverflowMinistry, and partneredwith volunteers from thefestival. Demasi said co-operation from the MountHealthy and Finneytownschool districts helped thecity communicate its ex-pectations.

Emergency medicalprograms across thecountry are studyingways to get medical ser-vices to the people whoneed them, and communi-ty paramedicine is a pro-gram getting a lot of at-tention.

EMS programs inSpringfield Township andColerain Township areboth investigating how tobest use a paramedicinemodel in their communi-ties.

Community paramed-icine is an emerging prac-tice nationwide. Depend-ing on the program, para-medics move beyondemergency medical inter-vention and can providemedical services whileout in the community, in-cluding follow-up carefor patients recently dis-charged from the hospi-tal, medical support forsome chronic health is-sues, such as diabetes,asthma and congestiveheart failure and provid-ing referrals to non-emer-gency primary care ser-vices or communityhealth partners that pro-vide health services forfree or at a minimal feefor frequent 911 users orpoor or underserved pop-ulations to communityhealth partners.

Last year, Ohio Sen.Bill Seitz, R-Green Town-ship, introduced a billthat would allow para-medics and EMTs to per-form services in non-emergency situations.The bill passed and wentinto effect Oct. 1. Prior tothe passage of HB 64,

paramedics were permit-ted to respond to a callonly as an emergency andtransport the patient to ahospital.

Springfield TownshipTrustee Gwen McFarlinand Fire Chief RobertLeininger are working ona community paramed-icine program with an im-plementation programthat will kick off this year.

The Springfield Town-ship model would beginon a small scale as a pilotprogram before goingcommunity-wide. Theprogram is developingpolicies and proceduresfor follow-up home visits,choosing software fordocumentation require-ments and record reten-tion compliance, para-medic training taught byhome health care profes-sionals, and developmentof performance measure-ment standards, and qual-ity of service, cost andoutcome measurementstandards, as well.

Leininger said the firststep would likely be to ex-pand the use of existingemergency medical ser-vices by doing followupsand referrals to connectresidents with resources.

Future steps could in-volve establishing collab-orative relationships be-tween the SpringfieldTownship Fire/EMS De-partment and other socialservice agencies to pro-vide programs that helppatients keep their inde-pendence and stay intheir homes longer. In thefuture, paramedics willbe able to follow-up anemergency trip for a fallwith a referral to servicesthat could provide grab

rails in the bathrooms andhallways, such as PeopleWorking Cooperatively. Aparamedic could make areferral to an agencysuch as the Council on Ag-ing for meals on wheels ifhe or she observes that aresident does not have ac-cess to quality meals.

The program couldeventually involve estab-lishing a partnership viacontact with a health careorganization or an alli-ance to provide homehealth care for patientswho have been dis-charged from the hospitalwith a particular medicalneed but do not havehealth insurance.

Both Leininger andMcFarlin are members ofthe University of Cincin-nati Emergency MedicalServices Degree Pro-gram Advisory Board,which is developing acourse and standards forcommunity paramed-icine. Leininger is alsonow sitting on the South-west Ohio Council on Ag-ing Advisory Board rep-resenting HamiltonCounty Fire Chiefs.

Leininger says hehopes the first step for hisdepartment will be readyto go in May.

“We are going to startslow and measure as wego,” he said. “And weneed to decide if there is areal demand for this kindof service.”

He suspects there willbe.

“We are probably adecade or so away from anew service model forEMS,” he said. “The costof medical care and insur-ance will influence it, andthe other factor will be

the Baby Boomers. Theywill want to stay in theirhouses and there will bean even great demand forhome nursing services.”

Colerain Township ispart of a new pilot part-nership with Christ Hos-pital that will train para-medics to serve outsidetheir customary emer-gency roles as first re-sponders.

Departments partici-pating in the pilot includeCincinnati Fire Depart-ment, Colerain TownshipFire Department, Deer-field Township Fire De-partment, Miami Town-ship (Butler County) FireDepartment, MonroeFire Department and Jef-ferson Township Fire De-partment.

The pilot in which Col-erain is partnering willstart small, only servingChrist Hospital patientsin select areas who havecongestive heart failure,but organizers hope it willeventually expand topartnerships with manylocal hospitals.

Colerain Fire Capt.Will Mueller, in charge ofEmergency Medical Ser-vices operation for theColerain department,says the pilot program isnot ready to fly, and won’tlikely be rolling out be-fore this fall.

“This is still in the de-velopment stages,” hesaid. “We still have a lot ofwork to do before we aremaking these visits.”

Each participating firedepartment has identi-fied one firefighter it in-tends to be the “communi-ty paramedic,” who willtake a three-credit se-mester class the skillsneeded for the new pro-gram. and Mueller ishelping teach that class.After paramedics com-plete the class, they willshadow an individual whois already practicing inthe community. You maythink that would be natu-ral for someone withmedical training, butMark Johnston, EMS co-ordinator at Christ Hospi-

tal, who is helping launchthe pilot, said it is not.

“Paramedics are usedto asking yes or no ques-tions,” Johnston said. “In-stead, we need to teachthem to communicate andask questions like a doc-tor.”

Larry Bennett, chair ofthe University of Cincin-nati’s Fire Science andEmergency Managementprogram, is also helpingget the pilot project upand running. He saysonce paramedics do beginpracticing in the commu-nity, they will not be repli-cating other medical ser-vices. The program is de-signed to fill gaps – notprovide the same serviceas a private in-home careprovider. “We visit pa-tients who do not have in-home care,” Bennett said.

“We want to work to-gether,” Bennett said.

Each department’sprogram will differ. Theymay roll them out at sep-arate times, and they mayeach serve a differentnumber of patients, butJohnston and Bennettsaid they intend to en-courage the partners tocollaborate. Johnston andBennett are startingsmall, but they can seethe pilot expandingthroughout the region.

“This is a public ser-vice,” Johnston said. “Itwill grow if we do it withwell-trained medics.”

Mueller says this firstforay into communityparamedicine isn’t unfa-miliar from the stand-point of being a followup.His department alreadymakes follow-up visitsfor opioid overdoses andlater this year, Colerainwill launch a program tofollow up with residentswho needed EMS help dueto a fall.

He says the begin-nings of the communityparamedicine servicesare evocative of the be-ginning of paramedic ser-vices in the 1970s.

“There will be somepush back,” he said. “Butwe think these services

are going to be increas-ingly necessary.”

PARAMEDICINE:AN AGE-OLDIDEA

Community paramed-icine is an emerginghealthcare delivery mod-el, but the idea has actu-ally been in existencesince the early 1990s,according to a report bythe University of Wash-ington School of Medi-cine.

One of the earliestknown community para-medicine programs exist-ed in Red River, NewMexico. The closest hospi-tal to the rural town wasroughly a 40-mile, one-hour trip, according to anarticle by Firehouse, afirefighting trade web-site.

In 1995, the New Mex-ico Senate passed an actthat required the Depart-ment of Health to studythe idea of communityparamedicine. Soon after,the Red River communityparamedicine pilotlaunched.

A later review of theprogram found manypatients didn’t use theprogram for primary care,but it did reduce thenumber of times theambulance went to thehospital by roughly 67percent.

Larry Bennett, chair ofthe University of Cincin-nati’s Fire Science andEmergency Managementprogram, and Mark John-ston, EMS coordinator atChrist Hospital, said theidea of community para-medicine can be tracedback even further, towhen doctors providedhome visits. Later, whendepartments begantraining firefighters asparamedics, paramedicsplayed an important rolein the community.

“Paramedics weredesigned to be the eyesand ears of the doctors inthe community,” John-ston said.

In Ohio, the practice ofcommunity paramedicineis much newer.

Last year, Seitz in-troduced a bill thatwould allow paramedicsand EMTs to performservices in non-emergen-cy situations. The billpassed and went intoeffect Oct. 1.

Soon after, the MonroeFire Departmentlaunched a six-month trialprogram. The programwas one of the first in thestate.Emilie Eatoneeaton@enquirer.com

McAuley High School» Fifteen McAuley students

competed at the University ofCincinnati in a format calledTEAMS.

The Tests of Engineering Ap-titude, Mathematics and Sci-ence is a unique and challengingacademic program enablingteams of high-school students tolearn team development andproblem-solving skills, and thenparticipate in an open-book,open-discussion, engineeringproblem competition. The stu-dents worked as teams to solvereal world engineering prob-lems. They also competed in theegg drop contest, where theMcAuley team place second forbest design with their device“egg-viation.”

» McAuley High School sen-iors Jenna Lawhorn and EmilyMurdock were accepted into theCostume Design Program at theU.C. College-Conservatory ofMusic. This program acceptsonly four to six students peryear.

Lawhorn says she has beeninterested in clothing designsince she was only 5-years-old.Initially she was interested infashion design, but in highschool she realized that all herdrawings of designs were moregeared towards costume thanfashion.

“I didn’t want to just makeclothes, I wanted to create char-acters,” Lawhorn said. “My fa-vorite part of costume design isresearching, and then design-ing, period clothing. Costumingcombines my love for art, thea-ter and history.” Lawhorn start-ed costuming at McAuley dur-ing her sophomore year with theplay “Break a Leg.” She hasmade costumes for most McAu-ley shows since then and hopesone day to become the head cos-tume designer for a large-scaleshow.

Murdock says she has beensewing since she was 13-years-old. She became interested incostuming as a career when sheworked on costumes for McAu-ley’s production of “Disney’sBeauty & the Beast” in 2015. Forthat musical, she worked mostlyon Belle’s primary yellow dress,as well as the enchanted charac-ters’ costumes. Along with La-whorn, she’s also working on themany costumes that will be fea-tured in McAuley’s upcomingmusical, “Mary Poppins.” Mur-dock is well on her way to suc-cess in the field. Last month she

won a first place and best inshow award at the annual OhioJunior Classical League Con-vention in Columbus for herhand-stitched costume of thenymph Calypso.

“What I’m most looking for-ward to at CCM is learning howto do many different things withcostuming,” Murdock said. “Ihope to someday work with localtheaters. There are so manypossibilities with this degree.”

MARCH 30, 2016 • HILLTOP PRESS • 7ANEWS

Gosh, I don’t think I’ve ever had somuch chickweed growing in my herbgarden. Not a bad thing, since it’s ed-ible and a wonderful plant source ofvitamins and plant protein.

I’ll put some in our spring salads,and also give lots to the girls/chickens.After a winter weary diet, chickweedis a treat for them. The name comesfrom the fact that chickens love it. Yes,it’s considered a weed by lots of folks,but not by me.

Anyway, after I hoed and tilled both theveggie and herb gardens, I worked up an appe-tite for a healthy main dish. I couldn’t do bet-

ter than Susan Parker’s brown basmatirice dish.

I smile when I hear chefs mention thelatest buzzwords in the food world:“clean food.”

Well, Susan coined that phrase manyyears ago. A mentor and icon in thehealth food and supplement arena, Susanreally “walks the talk”.

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist,educator, Jungle Jim’s Eastgate culinaryprofessional and author. Find her blog

online at Abouteating.com. Email her atrita@communitypress.com with “Rita’s kitch-en” in the subject line.

Susan’s brown basmati rice with curry and edamame

This can be a side or main dish. If you like, augment with chicken,seafood, or firm tofu. Stir in when you add the rice. Susan is proprietor ofSusan’s Natural World in Anderson Township and her vegetarian recipes arealways bursting with flavor and nutrition.

Brown rice is nutritionally superior to white, and edamame (green soybeans) contains vitamins, calcium, iron, protein and fiber.

1-1/2 cups Basmati or Jasmine brown rice2 teaspoons garlic, minced1 small onion, chopped, about a cup or soCurry powder to taste: start with 1 teaspoonBroth - use as much as rice package directions require2 cups shelled edamame, steamed and set asideChopped parsley for garnishSalt and pepper to taste

Film pan with olive oil. Cook onions, garlic and curry powder for acouple of minutes, until onions start to soften. Stir in rice and broth. Bringto a boil. Lower to a simmer, cover and cook 30-40 minutes or until rice iscooked. Stir in steamed edamame and garnish with parsley.

Tip from RitaThe yellow color of curry powder comes from turmeric, a superstar

anti-inflammatory spice.Substitute frozen peas for the edamame.

Karen E.’s Danish dumplings

Remember the reader who wanted the rolled dumpling soup recipelike McAlister’s? After a couple of attempts to see if the restaurant wouldshare the recipe, I gave up. But Karen wanted to share her mom’s dumplingrecipe. Here’s what Karen told me: “I do not necessarily have a flat dump-ling recipe. However, it may depend on how you drop them in the boilingbroth. I had to make dumplings last night because you made me hungry forthem. This recipe came from my mother's book. You can figure out how toadd the broth and chicken to this recipe.” Karen also told me her familyused Sapphire unbleached flour which you can’t get here, so I would subKing Arthur all purpose flour.

1/2 cup butter or margarine1 cup milk1 cup all-purpose flour unbleached flour1/4 teaspoon salt4 eggs

Place butter and milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add flour andsalt all at once. Stir quickly until dough loosens from side of pan. Removefrom stove and allow dough to cool slightly. Add eggs one at a time andbeat well after each addition. Drop by teaspoon into boiling broth. Cookover low flame until dumplings float on top – about 10 minutes. The dump-lings puff up.

Karen also said: “One half of the foregoing recipe is enough for thefirst try. Diluted creamed chicken soup may be substituted for regular brothwith rather good results.”

Published by Tower Press Inc. "Women's Circle Cookbook" 1971Tip from RitaThis recipe is very similar to cream puff dough, except that you bake

the dough instead of making dumplings.

Dig in to curried rice,and add deliciousdumplings to soup

Community Press asked readers toshare Opening Day and Reds memories:

“I’ve attended every Opening Daysince 1994 when I started going in col-lege at Xavier University. My friendsand I used to cut class and go downtownto watch the parade, stopping at Cad-dy’s, Flannagan’s and Second StreetSaloon on the way to the stadium beforethe flood of 1997 closed those placesdown.

“After graduating in 1997, I’ve con-tinued to attend, always taking the firstMonday in April off for a vacation dayas Opening Day is considered a ‘HighHoly Day’ in my household. I’ve attend-ed with friends, my brother, my sisterand my husband.

“We’ve seen winners and losers. Wewent through both inclement and beauti-ful weather; it didn’t matter. OpeningDay is an awesome excuse to ‘playhooky’ and celebrate baseball in Cincin-nati, home of the oldest team in MLB,my beloved Redlegs. I was at the finalOpening Day at Riverfront Stadium andthe first Opening Day at Great Amer-ican Ball Park. I was at the game whenumpire John McSherry died, a tragicevent that left the entire stadium som-ber. We didn’t know the details of whathappened until we heard it later on thenews.

“ I joined the Rosie Reds and attendmany games each year, but OpeningDay is always the most special of theseason. It’s a magical day, and the prom-ise of spring fills the air. The parade isso much fun, but being in the stadium tosee the Reds open their season is simplyawesome. It’s my favorite day of theyear and I encourage everyone to go ifyou haven’t been. There’s no other citythat compares to Cincinnati for OpeningDay.”

Kathy Bach, WestwoodRuss Hohnroth was a junior at West-

ern Hills High School in 1954 when heand some of his friends joined the Ush-er’s Union to work at Crosley Field. Hehad landed a dream job – getting paid tosee his favorite team play ball.

The dream was short lived when soonafter he was hired, he was transferred

to the scoreboard, a four-story controlcenter that kept everyone up to date onthe statistics of the game. While his bestfriend Bill Bertsch sat in the press boxbetween Waite Hoyt and Jack Moranpushing the electronic button forstrikes, balls and outs, Russ watched thegame through a window in the score-board, eyeing the umpire and reading aticker tape to determine his next move.

When a scoreboard number neededto change (runs, player average, inningchange etc...) he would climb a ladderfrom one floor to the next, navigatingthrough a hole in the ceiling of eachfloor. On the third floor, Russ and hisco-workers used clothes poles to changethe numbers on the board. Throughoutthe game, he and his fellow “statisticalengineers,” as they affectionately calledthemselves, could hear the crowd re-joicing in jubilation or at times, moaningin disagreement but could only imaginewhat the noise was about. Not exactlywhat he signed up for, but his hard workearned him $7 a single game and $12 fora doubleheader. Not bad for the times!

Built in 1912 to replace The Palace of

the Fans baseball stadium, Crosley wasa Cincinnati gem for decades! For Russit was a place of many memorable andcherished moments. Peanut Jim Sheltonwas a fixture at each game, standingoutside the stadium in his tux and tophat, selling fresh hot roasted peanuts.There was the ever popular sun andmoon deck where fans could enjoy thegame for just 75 cents and have a primespot for catching a fly ball.

Russ remembers the Opening Dayswhen chairs were added on the field toaccommodate the fans who exceededthe 28,000 seats in the stands. He speaksfondly of times that he brought lemon-ade to player Art Shamsky on a hotsummer day only to be thanked with anofficial Reds baseball in return. Hechuckles as he recalls the night gamethat made club history, Reds vs. the SanFrancisco Giants, playing 21 innings andlasting till 3 a.m. (Reds lost 1-0.)

Needless to say, in those early years,the scoreboard building was not climatecontrolled. One April game night was socold that Russ and his co-workers decid-ed to build a small fire on the groundfloor to keep warm. Soon after the firewas lit, flames were seen coming fromthe bottom of the scoreboard. It didn’ttake long for the staff to extinguish thefire before it got out of hand, but it diddelay the game and became the talk ofthe town!

Occasionally, Russ worked the press

gate, the section of the stadium whereplayers’ wives, police and fire person-nel, priests and other dignified guestswould gather. It was here that he had hismost memorable experience at CrosleyField. During the 1956 season, Russ’friend Pete Gray asked if he could getseats for himself, his date and anothercouple. Russ was able to comply withfour box seats and when the guestsarrived, he met and introduced himselfto the double daters. Miss Nancy Cartercaught his eye and with permission ofher friend and escort for the evening,Russ later got her phone number. Heasked her out on their first date and therest is history. Fifty Seven years later,these two are still an unbeatable team.

Russ worked at Crosley from 1954 to1957, left for a stint in the army andreturned in 1959. When the team movedto the newly built Riverfront Stadium in1970, a new ruling dictated that employ-ees had to live within the city limits andRuss was no longer eligible to work forthe Reds. At the same time, his full timejob was picking up and it was time tomove on. He is proud to be part of Cin-cinnati baseball history and enjoys shar-ing his experience with others. Askedwhom he considered his all-time favor-ite player, Russ said without hesitation,“It would have to be catcher JohnnyBench, both on and off the field.”

With Opening Day right around thecorner, there’s no doubt that Russ andNancy Hohnroth, who live at the Villageat Bayley, will be watching the gameand reliving their own treasured memo-ries of Crosley Field.

March 23 questionWho is your all-time favorite

Cincinnati Red (or other baseballplayer)? What makes them your fa-vorite?

“Red Schoendienst. BecauseI’m old and never watch baseballlike I did as a child.”

D.B.

“My all-time favorite Redsplayer is Pete Rose, on the fieldanyway. My all-time favoritebaseball players, however, areMickey Mantle and Ken GriffeyJr. with Seattle. They were boththe best for 10 or so years then in-juries robbed them of even great-er statistics. I was delighted Grif-fey Jr. got in the Hall of Famewith the highest vote percentageof all time. Pete could have had asimilar Hall of Fame vote per-centage but for his betting onbaseball. Go figure!”

T.D.T.

“Over the years the CincinnatiReds have had many great play-ers, but to get them into a Hall ofFame, even a personal one, wouldbe rather ludicrous. So manyplayers have been blessed to playthe game, so perhaps a betterquestion would be ‘have theymade a commitment to JesusChrist so that they can get intoGod's Hall of Fame ?’ I recon wemay not know until we get there.Isn't it all about personal choices?So my favorite will be pitcherFrank Pastore, just because wehave the same birthday.”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONAre the renewal of diplomaticrelations between the UnitedStates and Cuba, and thepresident’s visit to Cuba, goodfor the U.S.? Why or why not?

Every week we ask readers aquestion they can reply to via email.Send your answers tormaloney@communitypress.comwith Ch@troom in the subject line.

The Community Press’sinformative, comprehensiveMarch 2 analysis of the heroincrisis prompts this column.

We in the Ohio Legislaturepassed laws in recent yearsallowing police and first re-sponders to administer Nalax-one (Narcan) to save heroinoverdose victims’ lives, andthat work was the subject ofthe newspaper’s recent cov-erage.

That is only the first chap-ter. Our Hamilton Countystate legislators are busy writ-ing the next chapters in ourcritical war against heroinabuse.

I learned at a recent meet-ing with the Hamilton CountyHeroin Task Force that itsbest investigative tool fordetermining who the heroindealers are is to enlist thevoluntary cooperation of her-oin users whose lives havebeen saved by Narcan in-jections. However, the fireservice in many communitieshas refused to disclose to thepolice the identity of the peo-ple to whom they have admin-istered Narcan, citing federalmedical privacy laws (HI-PAA). As a result, the policeare disabled from interview-ing those victims to find outwho the upstream drug suppli-ers are.

My research disclosed that

the federallaw contains alaw enforce-ment exemp-tion whereprovided bystate law.Therefore, Ihave success-fully amendeda pending bill(House Bill

110) in the Senate to requirethe fire service to tell lawenforcement, on request, theidentity of those to whomNarcan has been adminis-tered. This will help policeinvestigate and prosecute theheroin drug dealers.

Meanwhile, my HamiltonCounty colleagues, State Reps.Blessing and Dever, have wonHouse passage of a differentbill (HB 171) that lowers thequantity of heroin that a her-oin dealer may have in orderfor the dealer to be prosecutedas a major drug offender, withenhanced prison sentencesapplicable to these dealers.This bill is pending in the OhioSenate, and I support it.

Also, Findlay State Rep.Sprague and Hamilton CountyState Rep. Driehaus haveteamed up to sponsor legisla-tion (HB 249) that providesimmunity from criminal pros-ecution to persons who call 911to report heroin overdose

cases and to the overdosevictims themselves. The im-munity encourages peoplewho may be high themselvesto call for help and to savetheir friend or relative’s life,and it only immunizes themfrom low level drug use orpossession charges and only ifthey promptly seek treatmentfor their drug problem.

ot only will this save lives,but also it will ensure that therevived drug users are stillalive to potentially help lawenforcement catch the “deal-ers in death” who are provid-ing the heroin - which is oftenlaced with even more danger-ous and addictive chemicalsthese days. The immunity forusers only will be extendedtwice - after that, the userprobably does need to face thecriminal justice system.

I am working to ensurepassage of all these measures.Lives are on the line. Thecrisis is too real. There is notime to waste. Your readersshould take pride in knowingthat the state legislators fromyour neighborhoods are work-ing together, and with locallaw enforcement and addic-tion treatment providers, tobattle this scourge on multiplefronts.

McAuley’s softball team didlittle wrong last year with an18-4 overall record and a per-fect 10-0 to capture the GirlsGreater Catholic League cham-pionship, but the season endedon a low note in a gut-wrenchingone-run walk-off loss in a sec-tional final to Kings.

“I like their sense of confi-dence,” said 14th-year coachKaren Wiesman, who enters theyear with 199 career wins. “I’mhoping that they got that taste of— we got that far (sectional fi-nal) and could have put a littlemore effort in; we lost in theseventh inning by one run …(so) what can we do now to getthat next level?”

The Mohawks have two sen-iors and five juniors returningto starting positions, which isprobably why McAuley’sranked No. 6 in The EnquirerDivision I preseason coaches’poll.

Senior pitcher AubreyBrunst, a University of North-western Ohio signee, is one ofthe best pitchers to ever don aMohawks jersey. Brunst, thereigning GGCL player of theyear, is a four-year starter who’s“pretty much pitched just aboutevery game she’s played,” Wies-man said. Last season Brunstwent 17-3 with 105 strikeoutsand a 1.79 ERA.

Senior center fielder AvaLawson is the only other senioron the roster and is committedto Northern Kentucky Univer-sity as a preferred walk-on, perWiesman. Lawson hit a team-high .439 last season with 16RBI, 13 stolen bases and a .538on-base percentage.

Junior catcher KathrynRost, whom Wiesman said canbasically play every position onthe field but pitcher, hit .403with 15 RBI last year. Juniorshortstop Britney Bonno hit .419with a team-leading 31 hits lastseason, and junior third base-man Annabel Thies hit .338. Ju-nior Jada Thompson takes overfull-time at first base, and ju-nior catcher/designated hitterMeghan Gabriel, who’s commit-ted to Malone University, willhelp bolster the lineup.

Wiseman has also beenpleased with freshman HaileyMcAdoo, freshman Lauren Tay-lor and sophomore Sara Roell.

“We have a team word — con-quer,” said Wiesman. “If weconquer that, getting throughsectionals and to districts, Ithink they have their sights onthat as well as winning theGGCL again. It’s definitely at-tainable. I think the key for thisteam is we’ve got the talent; it’sjust putting it all together.”

The Mohawks open GGCLplay with a trip to Mercy onMarch 30, followed by a trip toConner (Kentucky) on April 1.McAuley hosts Mason, the No. 1-ranked local team, on April 5.

Roger BaconMotivation is easy for Roger

Bacon’s softball team. In eachof the previous three seasons,the Spartans have improved in-crementally each year.

Now in his fourth season ashead coach, Chuck Linder sawhis Spartans go 9-17 in 2013, hisfirst season, then 12-11 the yearafter, and 17-7 last season.

If that pattern holds, RogerBacon can expect another greatseason with seven returningstarters back from last year’s17-7 team that finished secondin the Greater Catholic LeagueCo-Ed Central.

Leading the charge is seniorpitcher Ashton Lindner, who’salready the school record hold-er for strikeouts and the reign-ing GCL Co-ed Central player of

the year. Last year, Lindner didit all; at the plate, she led theSpartans with a .538 average, 43RBI, five home runs, 42 hits and31 runs scored; on the mound,she went 17-6 with 172 strike-outs in 145.1innings, seven shut-outs and a 2.22 ERA.

Senior Katie Perry also re-turns after hitting .425 with 26RBI and a team-high 22 stolenbases last season. Other return-ing starters include senior Ma-randa Gullette, senior catcherBrittany Jurger, who hit .367last year, junior third basemanAlly Woeste, sophomore firstbaseman Harmonie Kugele andsophomore Madalyn Gullette.

“As a team they have workedhard the past three years tochange this program around,”said Lindner. “Since I have tak-en over each year these girlshave stepped up to all the chal-lenges that have been put infront of them.

“Hard work and determina-tion is what drives (them).”

After opening the seasonwith a doubleheader at Finney-

town March 26, the Spartansvisit Deer Park on March 31,then travel to CHCA on April 1and Madeira on April 2. RogerBacon’s home opener is April 4against Chaminade Julienne.

FinneytownIn the Cincinnati Hills

League softball scene, Finney-town has remained steadilyaround third place for the lastfew seasons. Last year the Wild-cats went 9-11 but finished tiedfor third in the league.

Sixth-year coach Dave Wolf-erst has six starters back fromthat team and several newcom-ers he expects to contribute.

Returning to the starting ros-ter are senior third basemanCailee Smith, senior centerfielder Krista Lee, senior leftfielder Tierra Birch, juniorpitcher Hayley Richardson, ju-nior catcher Lydia Wolferst andsophomore shortstop CarissaRuffin.

Richardson went 9-9 in thecircle last season with 122strikeouts and a 4.20 ERA, but

she also did damage at the plate,hitting a team-high .469 with 17RBI.

Senior utility player BethanyWalker also returns with expe-rience, along with sophomoreutility player Erica Lee andsophomore Brianna Ritchie.

The Wildcats have depth andexperience, but to climb theCHL standings they’ll have toput the ball in play more andscore more runs.

“What I like a lot is they getalong well together,” said Wolf-erst. “There’s no drama withthis group; seniors to freshman.They’re all pretty much one bigfamily. Some of them are takingkids under their wing, showingthem, ‘this is how we do it.’

“This group wants to ensurethat next year when the seniorsleave they’re leaving a legacythat these other kids can live upto. It’s been kind of nice to watchthat.”

Finneytown’s at MadeiraApril 4, then welcomes MadeiraApril 6. The Wildcats then havefour straight at home withNorthwest on April 7, Deer ParkApril 8 and a doubleheader withGeorgetown on April 9.

Winton WoodsIn his first season as varsity

softball head coach at WintonWoods, Isaac Fuller likes the di-

rection his team is headed. Full-er spent last season as the juniorvarsity head coach, in additionto be an assistant football coachfor the Warriors, so there’s a fa-miliarity there that should al-low for a nice transition.

The Warriors have six re-turning starters from last sea-son’s 8-12 team, said Fuller.

Returning starters are soph-omore third baseman KaylaHaugabrook, junior catcherAlesha Alexander, junior pitch-er Camyrn Brown, junior firstbaseman Courtnei Brown, sen-ior left fielder DeAires Mooreand junior center fielder ShaqWhite.

“I’m very excited of howthey have taken on the conceptof team,” Fuller said. “They’vemade a motto amongst them-selves and it’s ‘don’t take it per-sonal,’ meaning they’ll giveeach other constructive criti-cism and pull each other togeth-er. They’re willing to fight thebattle together.

“I push them just as hard as Ipush my football players;they’ve taken it in stride like noother.”

Because he spent last seasonwith junior varsity, Fuller hasan extensive knowledge of thevarsity newcomers.

Fuller said he expects seniorMariah Dennis, sophomore Chi-quira Reeves, junior DominiqueBrooks and sophomore SydneyFuller to make the transition tovarsity and help the Warriors asneeded.

In the preseason, Fuller’sbeen impressed with his team’sability to hit. “They’re justpounding the ball,” he said.

The Warriors host St. Ursulaon April 4, before traveling toAnderson on April 5, and GlenEste comes to visit on April 7.

Aiken When Aiken needed a soft-

ball coach this season, JeremyPflug stepped up. Pflug, who’salso the head varsity footballcoach at Aiken, said he had a lit-tle softball experience, but hehired Janalyn Turner, a formersoftball player and coach atWalnut Hills, to help him out.

Pflug said the Falcons areyoung, but he also said that theirnumbers are up with 16 playersthis season.

Aiken’s returning playersare Sydney Wyatt, KryssanaSydnor, Alexia McBerry, Ty-rese Adams and co-captain Ta-Tanisia Satterwhite.

And newcomers, co-captainKeMiya Thompson, co-captainDana Johnson and SavannahAdams, are all expected to con-tribute.

While Pflug and his newteam haven’t had much time to-gether on the diamond, he said,“They honestly are all willing tolearn; we’re really young, onlytwo seniors on the roster. Thegirls are interested in the sport;they come to practice every dayready to go.”

At this point, Pflug said theFalcons are focused “on the lit-tle things - bunting, fielding,working on defense, defense,defense; just putting the ball inplay, making sure we do all thelittle things right. If we do thelittle things right, we’ll have anopportunity to compete in theleague.”

The Falcons open on the roadat Hughes April 4, then hostHughes April 6, and travel toWestern Hills April 8.

Mount HealthyMount Healthy took it on the

chin last season, finishing 0-18while scoring just 15 runs andgiving up 309.

SPRINGFIELD TWP. –St. Xavier volleyballlooks mighty again afteranother outstanding sea-son last year. The Bomb-ers went 19-2 last seasonand won the GreaterCatholic League South(6-1), but they’ll have toreplace the GCL Southplayer of the year, NickTalbot, and first-teamerPatrick Beer, who bothgraduated.

St. X returns threestarters in senior outsidehitter Evan Bretl, whowas second-team all-GCLSouth last season, alongwith junior setter/defen-sive specialist Cole Bretland junior libero/defen-sive specialist Conor Lov-ell.

Coach Bill Ferris, nowin his 16th season coach-ing the Bombers, will lookfor senior Lee Yates tohelp Evan Bretl contrib-ute at the net. Ferris alsoexpects seniors MatthewHildebrandt, an outsidehitter, and Brad York, aright side hitter, to take onheavy roles in the leader-ship department on andoff the court.

“Looking forward togetting back in the saddleafter a disappointingstate tourney result lastyear,” Ferris said. “Wetransition from a verysenior-heavy look lastyear to a year where we’llhave even distributionfrom seniors, juniors andlikely a couple of sopho-mores too.”

Ferris said his team islooking forward to the an-nual gauntlet that is theGCL South.

The Bombers open theseason with four straightat home against La Salleon April 8, Centerville onApril 12, Elder on April 15and Walsh Jesuit April 16.

Roger BaconRoger Bacon volley-

ball finished second in theGreater Catholic LeagueCo-ed and earned a Divi-sion II state semifinalberth last season, but ifthey hope to have anothersuccessful year they’llhave to replace four all-conference players andmost of its production lostto graduation.

Annie Kathman washired to replace coachAdam Goller, but Kath-man recently gave birthso she turned the reinsover to Chris Newton,who said she previouslycoached the boys from2000-2006.

The Spartans returnfour players with experi-ence from last season insenior libero/all-aroundHunter Jones, junior NickBeck, and seniors JaredHilling and Jared Ma-jancsik. Junior Will Alan-der will also be a big helpfrom his middle hitter po-sition.

Newton said althoughmost of her team didn’tsee much varsity timelast year, she’s hopingmany of the junior varsityplayers can move intovarsity roles and helpcarve out some wins.

“I think the one plusthey have is they allplayed as a core grouplast year and they’re justmoving along into theirsenior year,” said New-ton. “There’s a lot of ver-satility to that. Myself be-ing a new coach and notknowing any of theseplayers, I’m bringing a lit-tle different swing to thegame. Some guys areused to playing differentpositions and now they’refinding themselves in dif-ferent roles.”

Newton also said she’s“waiting for someone tostep up and be a leader.”

Roger Bacon opens onthe road at McNicholasApril 5, then at Alter April6. The Spartans homeopener is April 8 againstPurcell Marian.

La Salle Gene Williams moves

from assistant coach tohead coach this season to

lead an experienced LaSalle volleyball teamcoming off a 10-13 season.

Not only will the Lanc-ers be experienced, theyalso have a stockpile ofleadership, and they’remotivated to competewith their three GreaterCatholic League Southcounterparts. La Sallehasn’t defeated a GCLSouth opponent since2011, according to the con-ference.

Williams said, “Wehave two experiencedseniors and we are loadedwith juniors with a lot ofvarsity experience. All ofthem are hungry to beatone of the other threepowerhouses: St. X, Elderor Moeller.”

La Salle plays eachconference opponentthree times. Williams saidthe Lancers are wellaware of the challenge infacing three of the state’sperennial contenders insix matches, but they’realso excited and motivat-ed by the opportunity.

Seniors Timmer Koe-nig and Anthony Martini,a 6-foot-4 middle hitter,are in charge. They’rejoined by returning ju-nior starters Jake Kroger,Hayden Wood, a 6-2 left-handed right side hitter,Alex Williams, a libero,Derek DeMaison and WillGoldschmidt, a 6-1middlehitter.

La Salle opens confer-ence play as host to ElderApril 1and travels to St. Xon April 8.

Rudyard Kipling’sclassic story about amongoose, bird andmuskrat who band to-gether against a cobra tosave their garden homebrings the CincinnatiPlayhouse in the Park’s2015-16 Off the Hill se-ries for families to aclose with performancesfrom April 16 throughMay 22.

Adapted by award-winning playwright YYork, “The Garden ofRikki Tikki Tavi” is a de-lightful comedy aboutsharing and cooperationrecommended for audi-ences ages 5 and older.

When mongoose RikkiTikki Tavi arrives unan-nounced in the garden,she threatens the statusquo, much to the fury oftailor bird Darzee andmuskrat Chuchu. Theytry everything they canthink of to persuade Rik-ki Tikki Tavi to leave –until they discover thatthe mongoose causes thegarden’s cruel cobra Nagto run in fear. That’swhen they realize thatthey should work togeth-er to protect their sharedhome.

“Through the journeyof the play Rikki TikkiTavi learns to embracewho she is,” PlayhouseDirector of EducationDaunielle Rasmussen,who will make her Cin-cinnati directing debutwith the production, said.“By forging deep friend-ships and working hardto find solutions with her

new friends, she createsa home for herself andtakes her place as theprotector of the garden.”

“The Garden of RikkiTikki Tavi” will debut “onthe hill” at the Playhouse,with performances at10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Sat-urday, April 16. Ticketsfor the Playhouse perfor-mances may be boughtthrough the box officefor $5. From 11 a.m. to 1p.m. that day, familiesare invited to become theart makers with RikkiTikki Tavi-related crafts,coloring and tons of fam-ily fun between the Play-house’s performances.

The cast of “The Gar-den of Rikki Tikki Tavi”includes Robert CarltonStimmel (Teddy/Nag),Erin Ward (Chuchu), Re-nika Williams (Darzee)and Lilian Wouters (Rik-ki Tikki Tavi), all mem-bers of the Playhouse’s2015-2016 Bruce E. CoyleActing Intern Company.Other production teammembers, in addition toRasmussen, include setdesigner Kenton Brett,costume designer Jona-than P. Waters and stagemanager Tracy Hoida.

The cast memberswill explore physicalityand vocal techniques inorder to embody the vari-ous animals in the show.The aim is to strike a bal-ance between the fun ofstraying from humanrealism and the chal-lenge of maintaining theintegrity of the story be-ing told by these unique

characters.“Our cast and creative

team are a group of ex-traordinary artistswhose individualstrengths will blend intoa tapestry of color andmovement, creating a vi-brant interpretation ofthis classic story,” saysRasmussen, who has di-rected theater for youngaudiences at Marin Thea-tre Company in the past.She hopes the show willspark conversations sur-rounding the definitionsof community and family– exploring how we learnto share and work togeth-er in the gardens of ourneighborhoods, ourschools and our nuclearand extended families.
