Winton Woods students learntexting while driving can wait

Give adriver a car anda cell-phone, and its not long beforethedistractioncan lead todisas-ter.

Students at Winton WoodsHigh School had the opportuni-ty to learn that lesson recentlyat an anti-texting demonstra-tion set up by AT&T at theirback-to-school cookout.

Studentswho sat down at thedriving simulator ran stopsigns, side swiped other cars,drove too slow and crashed intobuildings.

Im a much better driver inthe car, I promise, said seniorOlivia Louis. Like many of herfellow students, she didnt getfar before becoming distractedby the text message coming inover the special phone that waspart of the simulation, andcrashing.

Mark Romito, director of ex-

ternal affairs for AT&T Ohio,set up the simulation as part ofhis companys It Can Wait cam-paign that raises awareness ofthe dangers of texting whiledrivingandencourages individ-uals to pledge not to text anddrive. Romito said 91 peopletook the pledge at the cookout,and another pledge drive dur-ingschool isplannedfor furtherawareness.

Another part of the It CanWait campaign is a documen-tarycreatedby filmmakerWer-ner Herzog on the dangers oftexting and driving.

When you get a messagewhile driving, its hard not topick up your phone, Herzogsaid in a statement on ItCan-Wait.com. With this film, wewant to help make people moreaware of the potential conse-quences of that action.

PaulaKuhn,arepresentativefrom the Winton Woods Com-munity PTA who helped set upthe event, said she appreciated

that AT&T offered one of theirsimulators for Winton Woodsstudents to safely experiencefirsthand how driving is com-

promised while texting.This is a timely lesson for

our newest drivers and a valu-able reminder to those moreseasoned drivers, said Kuhn.

The It Can Wait campaign issupported by the four largestAmerican wireless carriers,more than 200 other organiza-tions and thousands of individ-uals. The movement has in-spired more than two millionpledges through ItCanWait-.com, on Facebook, throughtext-to-pledge and tweet-to-pledge, and at events.

Herzogs documentary isavailable at ItCanWait.com., asite where anyone can go to getmore information about the is-sue, share their story, take thepledgenot to text anddrive, andget resources to help make oth-ersawareof thedangersof text-ing and driving.

SPRINGFIELD TWP. NorthCollege Hill High School foot-ball coach Bruce Baarendseexemplified the Trojan spirithe would like to see out of hisplayers early this season.

The coach had his gall blad-der removed prior to the Tro-jans week one loss to Waynes-ville Aug. 29 and missed thegame against Roger Baconwhile recovering.

It made things difficultearlyon,butBaarendse isbackon the sidelines and hoping tosee more of what he saw Sept.20 in a 35-0 win over DaytonChristian.

Were improving, thecoach said. The year start-ed out kind of crazy, but thingshave come back to normal asfar as practice routines andweplayed very well against Day-ton Christian.

The win was the first of theseason for the Trojans and itcouldnt have come at a bettertime with Miami Valley Con-ference play under way.

It was tremendous, Baa-rendse said of their first win.Early in the game in the rainwe had a couple turnovers, butthe defense bowed their backand kept it a 0-0 game.

With the game scoreless,senior Mikel Winkfield inter-cepted a pass and returned itfor a touchdown to open thescoring. From there, it was allTrojans.

Winkfield and sophomoreJuJuan Linzy have been thefuel to the Trojans offensivefire this season. The duo hascombined for 833 yards of of-fense, 353 kick return yardsand eight touchdowns. Theyare having an impact on de-fense, as bothhave reeled in aninterception andWinkfield hasa forced fumble on his statsheet.

Both are playmakers,their coach said. Both areextremely explosive andexcit-ingwith the ball in their hands.They know what to do with itboth offensively, defensivelyand return wise, so they aredefinitely our playmakers.

Outside of his playmakers,Baarendse hasnt seen muchsuccess from his special teamunit. The Trojans have given

up 28, 62 and 49 points in theirthree losses. In their week two

FOREST PARK History wasmade at Winton Woods HighSchool when the girls tennisteam took home the Flight Gchampionship at the 2013Coaches Classic Sept. 21.

Itwas the first time inschoolhistory a tennis team won anyflight at the tournament.

That made my season,coach Charles Chapman said.Seeing the work Ive been try-ing to do with the team and thereward on the girls faces wasnice.

Sisters Mary and Elisa Tay-lor led the charge for the War-riors. Since pairing up as dou-bles partners early in the sea-son after playing singlesmatches, the duo is 7-0 afterrunning the table in Flight G.

It was overwhelming tome, Elisa said of the victory atthe Coaches Classic. Coachwas coaching and he got usthere.

The elder Taylor said the in-nate connection between herand Mary fueled their success.

Blood, Elisa said. Weve

been playing tennis for a whilenowand Iknowwhat she candoand she knows what I can do.

The sisters Taylor werentthe only Warriors to bringhome first-place finishes at thetournament. Freshman JalynHill won at second singles,while first-year player Jaz-mine Edwards and doublespartnerHannah VanDyke tookhome the second doubles title.

TyshaMorris was runner-upin first singles after playingthird singles for most of theseason, and freshman TaniciaDawsonfinished fourth in thirdsingles action in her first yearplaying the sport.

You have to learn to loseto win, Chapman said. Theyfinally bought in to that. Youare going to take some losses,but you have to learn fromthose losses and try to correctwhat you did wrong.

The improvement is just at-titude. All the girls want tolearn and they are putting outthe effort and that is one of thebiggest parts of tennis is ef-fort.

The La Salle HighSchool graduate, who hasbeen a mainstay on theCincinnati Bengals prac-tice squad since he wassigned Nov. 5, 2012, waspromoted to the 53-manroster and made his reg-ular season debut for theteam under the nationalspotlight of MondayNight Football againstthe rival PittsburghSteelers.

I foundout about fourhours before the gamethat I was going to beplaying, so thatwas a cra-zy feeling, the lineback-er said. Being akid fromCincinnati, thats a dreamcome true playing Mon-day Night Footballagainst the Steelers. Iwas on Cloud 9, thats forsure, and it was specialand Ill never forget it.

The former Lancerplayed 22 snaps on spe-cial teams, and while hedidnt record a tackle, hetook to the big stage infront of his father, broth-erandahostofotherfam-ily and friends.

Just hours laterSchaffers dream quicklybecame reality and thebusiness side of the Na-tional Football Leaguetook over, as he waswaived by the BengalsSept. 18 and re-signed tothe practice squad a day

later. It was one heck of athree-day roller coasterride for the University ofCincinnati product.

One of my good bud-dies asked me how it wasand to put it in perspec-tive for him I said thinkabout finally getting pro-moted to your dream jobafter working for it yourwhole life and getting a$300,000 promotion andhaving it all taken awaythe next day, he said.Thats how it feels.

While disappointing atthe time, Schaffer will beready for the next timehes called.

Itsnot like Iwontgetanother opportunity and

that is what I am lookingforward to and thats allyoucanhopefor,hesaid. Ill be ready to playwhen my number getscalled.

Inwhat little free timehe has, Schaffer lovesgetting back to his rootsin White Oak. Wheneverhis Lancers are at homeonFridaynights,oddsareyou will see the lineback-er strolling the sidelines.Nothing is going tochange that anytimesoon.

I love being aroundhere andwhen I get somefree time to go work outwhere I want, I comeback here, the 2008

Lancer grad said of hishigh school. This ishome tome. I lovewatch-ing them play and I lovebeing around here.

His Lancers are off toa 3-1 start under first-year coach Nate Mooreand Schaffer loves the di-rection his program isheading.

I was on the searchcommittee that hired himso to me, it was a no-brainer, he said ofMoore. I love whathes doing, I love the staffthat hes put together, Ilove the system hes roll-ing here at La Salle andIm excited to see whatsgoing to come of it.

loss to Roger Bacon, 28 ofthe 62 points scored werea direct result of specialteams mishaps, while 21of the 49 given up to Ma-deira were from the sameunit.

That has really beenoneof ourbig focuses thatlast two weeks, Baa-rendse said. It paid off(against Dayton Chris-tian) because we did notgive up any points in thespecial teams area.

In fact, theTrojansout-

scored Dayton Christian14-0 on special teams.

The improvementcould be a direct result ofhaving all hands on deckagain, but either way thecoach is focused on get-ting better and takingthings on game at a time.

Were just going oneweek at a time and I knowthatsoundsa littleclich,Baarendse said. Obvi-ously we have CHCA atthe end of the season andSummit (Country Day) intwo weeks, but thosegames dont mean any-thing if we dont take careof business between nowand then.

The Taylor sisters willenter the sectional tour-nament, which is set tobegin Oct. 3 at the ATPTennis Center in Mason,unseeded despite theirclean record. In the end,Chapman thinks thatmayplay to his girls advan-tage.

We tried to get themseeded and they didntbuy into it and I think thatmight work to our favor,

the second-year coachsaid. The girls are expe-rienced, they are sistersand they know moreabout tennis than any ofthe other girls on ourteam and that is going tohelp.

As far as preparationfor the postseason goes,Elisa believes she andMary just have to trustwhats brought them thisfar.

Just positive energybasically, she said. Wejust have to stick to thefundamentals and thetechnique.

Legal Aid and the Volunteer Lawyers ProjectAttorneys for Legal Aid and

the Volunteer Lawyers Projectrepresent low-income personswhose cases often have merit,but might otherwise be lostdue to their inability to pay forcounsel and the resulting inad-equate self-representation.

The Legal Aid Society ofGreater Cincinnati was found-ed more than 100 years ago in1908. Its mission is to resolveserious legal problems of low-income individuals, promoteeconomic and family stability,and reduce poverty througheffective legal assistance.

Unlike the Hamilton CountyPublic Defenders Office,which represents defendantsin criminal cases, Legal Aid

provides legalservices incivil cases.Legal Aid at-torneys assisttheir clients ina broad varie-ty of situationsincludinghousing, em-ployment,education anddomestic prob-

lems.In 1982, the VLP was cre-

ated in Cincinnati because thenumber of requests for legalservices outpaced Legal Aidscapacity to help. A joint effortof the Cincinnati Bar Associa-tion and Legal Aid, VLP

recruits private attorneys tohandle at least two pro bonocases each year. VLP attorneysand Legal Aid attorneys workon the same types of cases.

In housing, Legal Aid andVLP attorneys help familiesavoid eviction, maintain utilityservice, and negotiate repairsby enforcing tenants legalrights and building, health andfire codes. These attorneysalso provide representation tohomeowners so they can avoidforeclosure and save theirhomes.

In the employment arena,Legal Aid and VLP attorneyshelp low-income job seekersovercome barriers to employ-ment such as the loss of a driv-

ers license or by the expunge-ment of a minimal criminalrecord. Attorneys also work tosecure unpaid wages or otherbenefits wrongly terminated.

Legal Aid and VLP attor-neys also advocate for childrenby obtaining medical benefits,making sure schools addressspecial education needs andhelping children avoid suspen-sion or expulsion from schools.

The largest percentage ofVLP cases, in fact, pertains tofamily law issues. Domesticlegal problems of all types areaddressed such as divorce anddissolution, resolving custodyand visitation issues and secur-ing protection orders. Attor-neys also aid in probate mat-

ters, immigration problemsand adoptions.

Having seen many of thecases handled by Legal Aid andthe VLP, I find that the partici-pation of competent legal coun-sel helps facilitate a just andexpedient result. If you needlegal assistance, the Legal AidSociety operates the Legal AidLine. Each year, about 30,000individuals contact the LegalAid Line, and over 6000 clientsobtain advice and representa-tion. Applicants may call 513-241-9400 to request legal assis-tance.

Ohio Gov. John Kasichcooked up JobsOhio, a public-private hybrid non-profit,ostensibly to put more Ohio-ans in gainful employment.

JobsOhio was created byKasich in 2011 as a way toshift economic developmentpolicy from the state-fundedDepartment of Developmentto the new agency, which isfunded by the state and pri-vate companies.

JobsOhio board membersare appointed solely by Kas-ich.

Democrats have asked theOhio Ethics Commission toinvestigate JobsOhio, claim-ing that a number of theboard members, as well asKasich himself, have ties tothe companies being helpedwith JobsOhio funds.

You cannot have peoplethat are sitting on the boardof directors of JobsOhio hav-ing their companies directlybenefit. You cannot have agovernor that is supposed tobe looking out for all Ohioanslooking out for all industry,receiving benefits from acompany and theyre gettingtax breaks in return, StateSen. Joe Schiavoni said.

JobsOhio is exempt frompublic disclosure of spending.And, as a private entity, it isnot subject to the states openmeetings and records laws,ethics rules, or other require-ments that generally affectState agencies. State Rep.Mike Duffey sponsored HB1which established JobsOhioand all of its shields.

The Ohio Ethics Commis-sion has quickly fallen in linewith the legislative shieldsprovided for JobsOhio.

Since the Commission haslimited jurisdiction and isunable to dig into complaintsconcerning JobsOhio, OhioEthic Commission ChairmanMeromBrachman has dis-missed them out of hand.

By the way, Merom Brach-man contributed to Duffeyscampaign. And, Brachmanhas given thousands of dollarsto Kasichs campaign effortsin recent years.

Should we connect thedots?

Two Ohio lawmakers, StateSen. Mike Skindell and State

Rep. DennisMurray, haveteamed withProgressO-hio.org in alawsuitagainst Job-sOhio.

The thrustof the legalchallengeargues Kasichhas violated

the State Constitution. Underthe JobsOhio plan, Kasichchairs a board of eight CEOs.This chairmanship, the suitclaims, runs counter to provi-sions in the statute that forbidgovernors from running busi-nesses while in office. Thecomplaint has been filed withthe Ohio Supreme Court.

Kasich has launched a $1.4million JobsOhio media buytargeting Ohio residents.

In a letter to Kasich, Cuya-hoga County Executive EdFitzGerald (potential 2014opponent) raised some seri-ous questions.

I write to express myconcern about your recentuse of $1.4 million in statefunds to place television andprint ads that are an improperwaste of state funds and seemintended to boost your gu-bernatorial re-election effortrather than actually help witheconomic development herein-state.

On top of it all, why did theRepublican-controlled OhioGeneral Assembly recentlypass a measure prohibitingRepublican State AuditorDave Yost from auditing Job-sOhio?

What are they hiding?Ethics violations?Conflicts of interest?State Constitution vio-

lations?Cronyism?Corruption?Or something worse?It just may be Kasich and

JobsOhio are doing a real jobon Ohio.

OUR ELECTIONS LETTERS, COLUMNS POLICY

Sept. 25 questionShould college athletes be

paid? If so, nowmuch? If not,whynot?

College athletes should re-ceive scholarships and stipendsfor play. A large percentage ofplayers come from low-incomefamilies that cannot financiallysupport the athletes.

The scholarships do not in-clude extra money for daily ex-penses. As a result, a number ofplayers in recent times have re-sorted to selling awards, auto-graphs and accepting cars andother favors because they havenomoney.

I do appreciate that commonsense and good judgment alsoplay a role. However, howmanyreaders of the could survive onno income?

We all know that athletescannotnotget jobsduringschooldue to the demands on theirschedules for training, practiceand playing locally and acrosscountry and then theres study-ing, attending classes and home-work.

Comeon,weall enjoywatch-ing themperformandespeciallywinning. Lets pay our collegeathletes!

E.E.C.

Yes, I believe athletes whoarerequestedtospendastipulat-ed number of days each year oncampus or at a facility designat-ed for athletic games/trainingshouldbepaida stipend for theirtime. The stipend should be uni-form for each sport and de-signed to cover expenses notpaid by the college/university.

Todays athletes in somesports do not have summers tothemselves during which theycan earn extra spending money.Many are from homes wheremoneyis inshortsupply.Thissti-pend should cover recreation,food and, books which are notfurnished by their school.

As a non-athlete attendingcollege from a poor home I re-member many days where I ex-isted on one candy bar all day inorder to have bus fare for mytrip home. I can understandwhysomekids are forced to sell theirjerseys in order to pay for aweekend date.

Sure, they get a free educa-tion that others pay dearly for,but their lifeshouldnotbethatofa total drudger.And, need Imen-tion the money they bring in atsome schools.

Because some schools losemoney on athletics, to pay or notpay should be voluntary and theamountsetbytheNCAAorothergoverning sports organization towhich the school belongs.

T.J.

This is part of their educa-tionalexperienceandifanycom-pensation is granted that movesinto the professional level, andthe pricing of a college game orevent would be cost prohibitiveas it is now with professionalsports.

Maybe a reduction on theirtuition maybe, but not compen-sation!

O.H.R.

College athletes on scholar-ship already are paid in the formof an education. Problem is theyare also very often enticed intocoming to a certain school for

otherreasonsthantoplayasportand get an education boostersoffer bribes of money, sex, andvarious things they shouldnt beoffering.

TRog

Absolutely not! It's not justthatcollegesshouldbeplacesforlearning and that the U.S. needsto put ahighervalue on that thanon sport, though that is true.

We have seen the NFL cometo an understanding of the dan-gersofconcussiontoyoungplay-ers, yet in the last 24 hours Iheard that one of our local highschool coaches suggested to afreshman quarterback that henotgo to thedoctorafter takingahit because he would not be ableto play for a couple of weeks. Ihope that is not true, but I regretthat it probably is.

The point is that even thecurrent system puts way toomuch pressure on young play-ers, their familiesandcoaches tomake decisions which are badfor their long-term health. Mon-ey to play for collegewould onlymake this situation worse.

High school ball should beabout having fun, but above allabout staying healthy, even ifthat means taking a couple ofweeks off and the team possiblyloosing a couple of games sowhat that's not nearly as bad asrisking severe neurologicaldamagewhichmayonlyshowuplater in life.

D.R.

Years ago I was in favor ofpaying the athletes, but I havechangedmymind on that. As ex-pensiveascollegeisIthinkthatafree education, free meals andboarding is a pretty good deal.

I don't think they need newcars and the like, besides that iftheyare thatgoodtheywill leavein a couple years and that littlebit of money they get would nothold them there there anyway.

OCTOBER 2, 2013 HILLTOP PRESS B3LIFE

We were in Penn-sylvania this past week-end for the MotherEarth News Fair, whereI was a presenter. Mytopic was Bible herbsand foods for vibranthealth and longevity, andit was a well received

presenta-tion withlots ofinteractionwith thepartici-pants.

I hadseveraldifferentkinds ofonions onhand to

talk about since onionsare mentioned in theBook of Numbers andone of the most healthfulveggies. One lady men-tioned that onions plant-ed next to cabbage makegood garden compan-ions, keeping bothhealthy. Then anotherperson spoke up aboutpotatoes.

Plant them next tocorn and theyll both dogreat, he said. Strange-ly enough, thats how weplanted our onions thisyear, not having a cluethey were good for eachother. Maybe thats whythe onions we dug up forthis German potato saladwere so tasty. And nextyear well plant the pota-toes next to the corn.

Oktoberfest Germanpotato salad

This is as close as Ican get to the recipe ofmy German mother-in-law, Clara. Easy andreally good. I used redpotatoes for this recipe.If you use baking pota-toes, which contain morestarch, they will soak upmore of the dressing.

8 slices bacon (I used thicksliced), cut into littlepieces then sauteed (savedrippings)

1 heaping cup choppedonion

1-2 ribs celery, chopped (iftheyre real long, use one,more can be added if youlike)

2 tablespoons flour23 cup cider vinegar or totaste

1 cup water13 cup sugar or to tasteSalt and pepperAbout 8 cups sliced cookedpotatoes (cook, then sliceinto 14-inch pieces)

Cook onion and celeryin about 4 tablespoonsbacon drippings untiltender, but dont let on-ion brown. Celery maystill be crisp. Sprinkleflour over and blend.Mixture may be a bitlumpy. Add vinegar andwater and cook, stirringuntil bubbly and slightlythick. Stir in sugar, cookabout 5 minutes or so.Stir in potatoes and ba-con, heat through, stir-ring to coat potatoes.Season. Serve warm orroom temperature. Maybe made a couple daysahead.

Slaw stuffedpeppers

For the Eastern HillsJournal and Price HillPress readers who re-membered buying theseat local delis. This recipeis over 30 years old andis from a Farm Journalcookbook, so it should beauthentic. You can cut itin half. And does any-body besides me remem-ber calling bell peppersmangoes?!

12 whole green bell peppers4 quarts water14 cup salt2 medium heads cabbage,finely shredded

14 cup salt4 oz. pimentos, diced514 cups sugar6 cups water6 cups cider vinegar112 teaspoons whole cloves5 sticks cinnamon112 tablespoons wholeallspice

112 teaspoons salt

Slice tops off peppersand remove seeds. Soakovernight in solution of 4quarts water and 14 cupsalt. Drain. Combinecabbage and 14 cup saltand let stand overnight.Drain well. Mix pimen-tos and cabbage. Fillpeppers. Tie tops on withthread. Put in 8-quartcrock. Combine sugar,water, vinegar andspices in big pan. Bringto a boil and cook 10

minutes. Pour hot solu-tion over peppers andweigh them down. Mari-nate at least 1week atroom temperature. Toserve, cut peppers inquarters.

Fluffy meringue: If alittle bit of egg yolk getsinto my whites when Imake meringue, and if Iremove it, will thewhites still whip up?

This is a tricky one. Iftheres just a teeny bit ofyolk and you can get itall out, the whites seemto beat up fine. But Iwould only do that if Ihad no other eggs. And itmay not work in all reci-pes. Egg whites must becompletely fat-free towhip properly. And thebowl you whip them inshould be, too. When indoubt, wipe out the bowlwith a bit of vinegar toremove any traces offat, rinse and dry. Youllget better volume withroom temperaturewhites.

LlanfairRetirementCommunity inCollege Hill celebrates the return ofitsbelovedbaseballbatbirdhouse,ap-propriately named, Bat House andRobin.

Bat House and Robin is a trea-sured landmark on the Llanfair cam-pus and provides shelter for the birdsvisiting the14-acrewoodedcommuni-ty. The birdhouse was designed byartist Tonya Leigh Morgan and wassponsored by the Helen B. VogelTrust.

In 2011, Llanfair staffers and resi-dents noticed the weathering of thebirdhouse and knew it was time tohave it repaired and restored to itsoriginal glory. The budget for repairswas limited, though, as Llanfair is anot-for-profit community.

Llanfair employees reached out toJohn Hillerich, president of Hillerich& Bradsby, in Louisville, Ky., famousfor producing Louisville Sluggerbaseball bats. Llanfair asked for thedonationof30baseballbats tohelpgetthe bat house restoration project un-derway, and Hillerich & Bradsbywere happy to oblige!

Two Llanfair employees eagerlyhelped repair the birdhouse, usingtheir painting and carpentry talents.

Without the help of Hillerich &Bradsby and Llanfairs employees,BatHouse andRobinwouldnt havebeen restored to its original beauty.
