The hills won’t bealive with the sound ofthe Cincinnati POPS thissummer in Forest Park.

After a 25-year run,Forest Park City Man-ager Ray Hodges saysthe city is not sponsoringthe traditional summerconcert this year.

“The Ameritas cam-pus is in the process ofsome demolition follow-ing the dedication of thenew facilities there, andit’s not a good time tohost an event at thatsite,” he said. “Thatgives us the opportunityto re-evaluate the eventand talk about how wewant to go forward.”

He says the city hasnot made a decisionwhether or not to con-tinue the concert in thefuture, but there will notbe a Cincinnati Pops con-cert in Forest Park thissummer.

“It’s had a long run,”he said. “We need to talkabout it and decidewhether it has served itspurpose or is it some-thing we want to con-tinue?”

The free, familyfriendly event at theAmeritas property at thecorner of Waycross andMill roads was popularwith residents and drewlarge numbers of visi-

tors to the city. It has hadbeen plagued by weatherproblems in the past sev-eral years. The concertwas canceled because ofweather in 2012, when astorm damaged thestage.

Forest Park Econom-ic Development Direc-tor Paul Brehm estimat-ed that attendanceranged from 2,000 to5,000 for the concert.

Brehm said last yearthat people who live inForest Park connectedthe concert with thecity’s identity as a com-munity.

Concert on the Green, a longtime summer tradition in Forest Park, is taking a year off, andthe city is re-evaluating whether to continue the Cincinnati Pops concert in the future.

Jelani Jackson is hop-ing to share the goodnessof Richie’s Restaurantwith the Colerain commu-nity before summerstarts.

Richie’s has four loca-tions, three in Cincinnati,one in Lexington, Ken-tucky. The newest, thefifth, will be owned by Je-lani and his wife, Danielle.It’s a family business andJelani says he is hopingfamilies will come enjoythe food and the atmos-phere at the newest Ri-chie’s location.

It’s in rehab mode now,as workers transform aformer Kentucky FriedChicken at 8261 ColerainAve. for an opening day inlate May or early June.The old restaurant is gut-ted, and the exterior isgetting a fresh coat ofpaint. The sign’s alreadyup, and Jelani says he islooking forward to bring-ing the restaurant’s south-ern soul food menu to thecommunity.

He says Richie’s isknown for fried chicken,but he also brags on thefried fish. The store of-fers several kinds: whit-

ing, catfish, tilapia, cod,and perch.

“We are known for ourhot and spicy chicken andwings and our hot andspicy potato wedges,” hesaid. “It’s all made on-site.”

The restaurant will of-fer traditional soul foodsides: cornbread, collardgreens, yams, okra andbeans and rice are all onthe menu. Peach cobblerand sweet potato pie are

among the dessert op-tions.

Jelani says the Cole-rain location will have asit-down element notfound in some other Ri-chie’s locations.

“We are aiming for afamily-friendly sit-downplace where people cancome and enjoy a goodmeal,” he said. “Colerainis a great community forus, and our location getsgreat foot traffic. So far,the community has beenwelcoming and we arelooking forward to open-ing our newest locationthere.”

GREEN TWP. — Rollingfairways splattered withgolfers have been re-placed with bulldozersand backhoes.

Site work has been un-derway for the newGreenshire Commonssubdivision off of Wes-selman Road in GreenTownship. The housingdevelopment, which willfeature 235 single-familyhomes, is being built onthe former Hillview GolfCourse.

The Macke family,who owned and operatedthe roughly 100-acre golfcourse for 45 years, soldthe property in March2014 for $3.7 million toWesselman LLC. GreenTownship resident Ra-kesh Ram of ColdwellBanker West Shell anddeveloper Joe Allen, alsoa township resident, havepartnered to lead the esti-mated $75 million pro-ject.

Ram said constructionof the streets and instal-lation of the utilitieswithin the developmentshould be completed inabout two months. Whenthe streets and utilitiesare in, he said the fourbuilders involved in theproject – Dennis OttBuilders, Drees Homes,Inverness Homes andM/I Homes – will then be-gin constructing theirmodel homes.

“We are starting towalk the home sites andwork with the builders,”Ram said. “It’s a beauti-ful piece of land with vis-ta views.”

He said the diversecross section of buildersat Greenshire will offer avariety of housing prod-ucts to meet the demandsof different home buy-ers, from estate homes tolifestyle homes to patiostyle homes. Price pointswill range from about$300,000 to $800,000 ormore, he said.

Adam Goetzman,Green Township’s assis-tant administrator anddirector of planning anddevelopment, said thesubdivision is the largestnew single-family resi-dential project to come tothe township in seven oreight years.

“Hopefully we’re see-ing the resurgence of theresidential market,” hesaid, adding the newmedical facilities andrestaurant developmentsin the township play arole in attracting resi-dential projects likeGreenshire.

“The real estate mar-ket is very interested inseeing this project go for-ward.”

Ram said when peoplebuy homes they look forconvenient shopping,highway accessibilityand strong schools, andthis development meetsall those factors.

“The location is tre-mendous,” he said. “Thiswill attract buyers fromthe Western Hills area,but also from outside ofthe area.”

Initial interest in thedevelopment from poten-tial home buyers hasbeen good, Ram said. Somuch so, that he said theyplan to build the first twophases of the three-stageproject right away.

“The excitement levelis pretty high,” he said.“We feel really confidentthis is definitely going tobe a great destinationpoint for new home buy-ers.”

Dennis Ott, vice presi-dent of Dennis Ott Build-ers, said his company willbuild 17 custom homes onlarge wooded estate lotsin the subdivision, andthey have nearly sold ev-ery lot.

“We almost sold outwithin three months af-ter we got involved withthe project,” he said.

Ott, whose son, Jason,now owns the familybusiness, said as one ofthe oldest home builderson the West Side, theywere interested in beinga part of a new develop-ment.

He said it’s an unusualproject for them in thatthey typically buildhomes on sites they’vedeveloped, but his com-pany’s tradition of build-ing no two homes alikewill continue at Green-shire Commons.

“We’re excited aboutit,” Ott said.

Goetzman said the in-terest in the developmentbodes well for the town-ship’s future. New hous-ing options will help thetownship retain resi-dents and attract peoplefrom other communities.

It also provides an op-portunity for vertical in-tegration within thetownship’s housing stock,meaning Green Town-ship families outgrowingtheir starter homes canmove up to some largerhomes, while staying inthe same community andschool system, he said.The starter homes thosefamilies move out of arethen available for otheryoung families to buy andbegin planting their rootsin the community, hesaid.

“Green Township is aviable single-family mar-ket that can compete,” hesaid. “We’re still attract-ing young families.”

for the classrooms. Beach ball math challenges

have children catching beachballs to answer everything fromsingle-digit addition problemsto classification of polygons.

Participants received dicefor various dice games, work-ing up to operations with nega-tive integers.

MAY 27, 2015 • NORTHWEST PRESS • 7ANEWS

When I was a young mother, my mom, Mary Nader,would try to teach me how to cook our traditionalLebanese food. I say “try” because it didn’t come easyto me. Mom never measured - she said her handswere the best utensils. Ring a bell with any of you? I

bet it does, especially when you makethose heirloom recipes handed downfor generations. And I’m still learning.

My dear friends, Joe and MarylouZarick, Mason readers, have had me intheir kitchen making Lebanese breadand sfeehah, bread stuffed with meatand seasonings.

I can now say my Lebanese food isdelicious, and yes, I use my hands formeasuring and mixing. My familyloves the food, and laughs when I sayMom’s was still better.

One dish we make is our yogurt dip, with Laban/homemade yogurt, along with cucumber, mint andgarlic. Now making this dip with homemade yogurtresults in a pretty loose mixture, even when I strainthe yogurt overnight. I wanted to serve a thicker

version of this in a Lebanese class I taught and KayHitzler came to the rescue.

Kay, a West Side reader, and I have been cookingbuddies for years. We first met at Jungle Jims andimmediately connected when she was my sous chef.Kay is a skilled, compassionate nurse by day and apassionate, talented foodie by night. I can’t tell youhow many good recipes she, along with her mom,Jean Shirley, have given me. Kay’s Tzatziki sauce isthe best. She has been sharing it with friends andfamily for years. It goes with so many summer dish-es, from salmon to chicken to crudités.

lifting a finger. Stop by the Lebanese Mahrajan festi-val and enjoy the abundance of authentic homemadeLebanese food. I’m getting hungry now just thinkingabout kibbee, shish kebabs, salads, breads, greenbeans with tomatoes, and, of course, all those sinfulpastries…

Middle Eastern fare gets dippyKay Hitzler’s Tzatziki/yogurt cucumber dip

You can buy Greek yogurt already strained. Greekyogurt is thicker than regular and contains more protein.The garlic and olive oil are good for your heart, the vitaminC in the lemon helps your immune system and helps detox-ify your liver, and the mint is high in fiber and good fordigestion.

1 English or regular large cucumber, peeled if desired,seeded, shredded

Salt1-1/2 cups whole milk Greek yogurt, strained1 clove garlic, minced or more to taste2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil1 tablespoon lemon juice1/4 cup chopped fresh mintSalt to taste

Place cucumber in strainer over a bowl and sprinklewith a little salt and let stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile,place yogurt in a strainer and let drain for 15 minutes, thendiscard liquid. Squeeze the cucumber in a towel to removeas much liquid as possible. Mix everything together.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen: Remove seeds from cucumberCut in half longways and take a small spoon and run

it down the center, scooping up seeds as you go.

Rita’s hummusI may as well go full tilt here and share another Mid-

dle Eastern favorite. It’s one of my most requested whichI’ve shared with you before. For Jennifer, an Eastside read-er. “Store bought hummus is way too expensive”, she said.Better than anything you can buy and a lot less costly. LittleEmerson, my granddaughter, loves hummus.If too thick,add a little water.

1 can, 15 oz, chick peas, drained, rinsed and drained1 teaspoon minced garlicLemon juice, olive oil and Tahini (ground sesame seed

“paste”) to taste - start with 3 tablespoons and gofrom there

Colerain Township trusteesare correct selling the Skylinepark and center.

Was it legal for trustees tospend Colerain Township taxdollars for the park and centerwhen it was used primarily bypeople who do not live in Cole-rain Township? Township resi-dents may wonder.

On hot summer days, there isnothing better than turning on agarden hose then running and

jumping through a sprinkler. Other summer opportunities

include the Mt. Healthy swim-ming pool and the Cincinnatiwater feature on Belmont - justwaiting for kids and theirfriends.

The library has more booksthan any family can read overthe summer and is always a coolbreak.

May 20 questionWhat is the best senior class

prank you can remember?

“I must really be old. I wentto a very conservative publicschool. Can’t recall any‘pranks’ that did not result inthe expulsion of some ‘hood.’My much younger brotherconsidered ‘spiking’ the seniorclass play punch. Fortunately,his wiser friends kept himfrom that stunt.”

D.B.

“Can’t say where and won’tsay when, but by now the stat-ue of limitations has hopefullyexpired. In my town one of myclassmate’s father was a pri-vate realtor and at his office lo-cation he had a giant (20-foot-by-40-foot) hippopotamus.One of my other classmate’s

father owned a constructioncompany and he had access tovery large flat bed trailers andrigging equipment. So natural-ly we felt compelled to relo-cate the giant hippo to the roof

of the school. Sure wish itwould have been light enoughto get some photos.”

M.J.F.

“In the ‘good old days’ sen-ior class pranks were an annu-al right of spring. Using cun-ning combined with geniuswas a prerequisite. The sup-posed day off school for thosewith a ‘B’ or above averagewas a standard, not to mentionfree cafeteria lunches orpasses to the local moviedrive-in. The idea was to foolunderclassmen. But todaywith the social media thosedays are gone not to mentionthe consequences of doingsomething foolish. Go Figure!”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat memories do you have ofprevious All-Star Games inCincinnati (or other cities)?What has baseball meant toyou; what does it mean to younow?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.

Over the past 29 years, Ihave worked as an adminis-trator in three local govern-ments in Greater Cincinnati.

For the past 19 years, Ihave had the opportunity towork with police officers onan almost daily basis. Thepolice officers I have knownduring this time deserve ourrespect and appreciation.

National Police MemorialWeek was earlier this month.Throughout Greater Cincin-nati, most of us are able tolive in safe neighborhoodsthanks in large part to themen and women in blue. Ourpolice officers are one of thekey reasons why we enjoy thefreedoms we do. These menand women who patrol ourstreets are the best trainedand best educated policeofficers in history.

A few recent incidentsaround the country have shedsome negative attention onthe police. While no one isabove the law, we need torealize that the overwhelming

majority ofpolice offi-cers serve usin a veryprofessionalmanner. Theyare forced toconfront themost difficultand complexsocietal prob-lems. Thereis never a

routine call.Most police officers per-

form their sworn duties ofeverything from traffic stopsto domestic violence in aflawless manner. They con-front active shooters inschool buildings to protectour children, they combatdrug related activities, andthey engage in SWAT situa-tions without hesitation.

I firmly believe that mostpolice officers are brave andhonorable. These men andwomen put their lives on theline every day. Did you knowthere were 127 police officers

who died in the line of duty in2014? Each one of them had afamily that worried everytime they reported for duty.

Let’s not be so quick tocriticize police officers. In-stead, let’s take the opportuni-ty to re-evaluate our relation-ship with the police officerswe meet.

Please join me in thankingall police officers and theirfamilies for all they do eachand every day. But most ofall, let’s take a moment tothank God for all of the goodofficers who lost their liveswhile trying to keep us safe-…most recently Officer Tateand Officer Deen in Hatties-burg, Mississippi.

Consider stopping an offi-cer in your neighborhood orspeaking to one in a UDFduring National Police Memo-rial Week to say thank you forkeeping our families and ourcommunities safe!

Older adults are a vitalpart of our society.

Since 1963, communitiesacross the country haveshown their gratitude bycelebrating Older AmericansMonth each May. The themeof this year’s celebration is“Get into the Act,” to focus onhow older adults are takingcharge of their health, gettingengaged in their communi-ties, and making a positiveimpact in the lives of others.

Older Americans Monthoffers an opportunity to em-phasize how older adults canaccess the home and commu-nity-based services they needto live independently in theircommunities. It is also anoccasion to highlight howtheir loved ones can helpthem to remain safe and com-fortable in their homes.

All year long, Whole HomeModifications, a service ofPeople Working Coopera-tively, provides the experi-

ence andexpertise tohandle mod-ificationsprojects thatwill helpolder Amer-icans con-tinue livingsafely intheir homes.This May,we’re encour-

aging older Americans aswell as their caregivers, fam-ily and friends to think aboutthey can do to keep seniorssafe in their homes.

A few common problemareas are stairways, floorsand rugs, and the bathroom.As you assess your home orthe home of an older familymember, consider checkingthat all handrails are notbroken and are securely fash-ioned. It’s also important thatboth sides of the stairwayhave handrails.

If floors are hardwood, tileor laminate, removing throwrugs from high-traffic areasand investing in non-slip hardsole shoes can be critical. Inthe bathroom, replacing towelracks and toilet paper holderswith grabcessories adds sta-bility and security, but won’tmake the bathroom feel like amedical facility.

When it comes to keepingseniors safe in their homesand chosen communities, aproactive approach is impor-tant. We encourage olderAmericans and their familiesto evaluate their individualneeds, and incorporate someor all of these tips in order tokeep their homes safe andsecure for many years tocome.

Older Americans Month 2015:‘Get into the Act’

A swimmer with shoulderpain is a common sight in thesport. With few exceptions,shoulder pain in a swimmerwill be an overuse injury,meaning it builds over timewith continuous irritation fromthe same repeated motions.

This happens for a few rea-sons:

» The shoulder is the mostmobile joint in the body.

» The mechanics of swim-ming require lots of motion atthe shoulder joint.

» With increased motion inthe joint comes less stability ofthat joint.

» A swimmer can exceed2,000 strokes for one shoulderin a single workout.

A few simple tricks can go along way to keeping shoulderpain from getting to be aninjury that keeps the swimmerfrom the pool.

The first thing to checkwhen your swimmer comes toyou with shoulder pain is theirposture. The nature of swim-ming workouts gives a swim-mer very developed pectoralmuscles, which they need forstroke efficiency and speed.This can cause those musclesto pull where they attach onthe arm and can give a swim-mer a rounded shoulder ap-pearance, meaning that theshoulders are coming forwardwhen at rest. Posture like thiscan pinch important structuresin the shoulder, particularly inthe anterior portion, which arealready more vulnerable. Itwill also affect structures inthe back, which are beingstretched and weakened bythis posture.

To fix this, have them focuson straightening up as if astring were being pulled fromthe torso through the top of thehead. Roll your shoulders backto an even position on eitherside of your body. No need tothrow them back overly far orpuff your chest out, just keepthem back in line with the restof your body.

In conjunction with thechance in posture, you need to

focus on thescapular stabi-lizers, themuscles thatwork in be-tween andaround theshoulderblades. Thesemuscles areoften weak andcannot func-tion properly

without some attention.When practicing good pos-

ture, you can feel those mus-cles fire up. An exercise calledscap squeezes can work themeven more. While in your goodposture position, pretend youare trying to squeeze a pennybetween your shoulder bladesby squeezing those muscles,leaving your arms by yourside. Hold the squeeze for fiveseconds, then release.

Both of these techniquescan be used throughout the daywhile your swimmer is atschool. Practicing good pos-ture and scap squeezes canreduce a number of shoulderproblems by introducing prop-er position and body mechan-ics. Pain in the shoulder maybe common in swimming, butthat does not mean they haveto push through it . There aremodifications and optionsavailable to keep them fromdoing making things worse.

At Cincinnati Children'sSports Medicine department,we want to do everything wecan to keep your child in thewater as much as possible.There are resources availablefor you and your swimmer, andwe invite you to contact uswith any questions or concernsat 513-803-4878.

ST. BERNARD — A recordrarely tells the whole story. Inthe case of Roger Bacon HighSchool, the record of its boys’volleyball team barelyscratches the surface of whothe Spartans truly are.

The record says 14-11. Lookcloser, and you’ll begin to un-derstand why Roger Bacon isranked No. 8 in the Ohio HighSchool Boys Volleyball Asso-ciation’s Division II state poll.

Seven of its 11 losses cameagainst teams (Alter, Elder, St.Xavier, Moeller, Walsh Jesuit,Hilliard Darby) also ranked ineither the Division I or II statepoll.

“We have played an excep-tionally difficult schedule,”said ninth-year coach AdamGoller. “I think it’s definitelymade us tougher mentally. Ithink that will be a good thingcome postseason.”

A brutal schedule wasn’t allRoger Bacon had to deal withduring the regular season.

“The regular season wasdifficult due to a number of in-juries, but given all the adver-

sity I think the boys did as wellas they possibly could,” saidGoller, who added the Spar-tans have healed up in time forthe postseason.

They dealt with difficultythrough their six seniors whoare well-versed in tough com-petition.

As freshman and sopho-mores, the senior class sawwhat it took to make a run atstate as the Spartans wererunner-up in 2012 and a semi-finalist in 2011.

“All six of the seniors havebeen a great example to theunderclassmen,” Goller said.

“They’ve embraced theirroles and done their jobs well.We place a high level of expec-tations on every one of ourguys, and they’ve all an-swered and had a very goodseason.”

The six seniors are: AlexBrenner, Ben Holt, BobbyWilking, Robbie Heywood,Jack Hausfeld and TonyWeickert.

Brenner missed most of theseason with an injury, butsince his return the Spartansare 7-3. Brenner’s 146 assists(in 10 matches) rank eighth in

the Greater Catholic LeagueCoed. Heywood’s 624 passesare the fifth-most in the con-ference, and second on theteam behind Hunter Jones, ajunior.

Heywood also led the teamin kills (166), just ahead ofHausfeld (152).

Holt and Weickert tied forthird in the GCL Coed with 54blocks each.

Wilking’s 241 assists weresixth in the conference and healso had 411 passes.

Roger Bacon, who appearsto be rounding into form at theright time, finished second inthe GCL Coed behind Alter.

“It’s the postseason sowe’re just shoring up ourstrengths and making sure wecontinue to take care of the lit-tle things,” Goller said.

The Spartans began thepostseason with a definitive25-5, 25-3, 25-6 win over Pur-cell Marian in a Division II re-gional semifinal.

The regional final tookplace Saturday, after printdeadline, against McNicholas,so check Cincinnati.com forthe result.

COLERAIN TWP — It’s hard tooverstate what freshman AlainaMaddy has meant to Northwest’ssoftball team this year.

At the plate, she hit .532 withfour home runs and 29 RBI. In thecircle, she posted a 14-9 record, ledthe Southwest Ohio Conference instrikeouts and had a sub-3.00earned run average.

The first word that came tocoach Debbie Fields’ mind whenasked about Maddy’s season:Amazing.

“She’s growing as a player,”Fields said. “My job is to keep hermentally in the game and teach herhow to manage what’s inside thecircle.”

Her progress has moved at sucha rapid pace that Fields has to re-mind herself Maddy is only 14years old.

Given the statistics and the wayshe’s carried herself this season,Maddy was the best bet to take theball for the Knights in the sectionalchampionship against Goshen.

Even if it meant playing througha strep throat diagnosis on the dayof the game.

“I left school, went to the doc-tor’s office, took the test and re-turned to school so I could play inthe game,” Maddy said. “You haveto do what you have to do. I couldn’tlet the team down.”

She didn’t have her best stuff inthe circle but it was enough to keepher team in the hunt for the section-al championship.

Northwest erased a 3-0 deficitand even held a 6-4 lead going intothe bottom of the seventh. Team-mate Harleigh Warren smackedthe single to plate two runs and ex-tend the Knights’ lead.

But the game unraveled for theKnights in a big way. Goshen tiedthe game again before eventuallyscoring the winning run on an er-rant throw from catcher JaycieRussell back to Maddy.

Maddy, the consummate team-mate according to coach Fields, of-

fered a simple explanation for thatcostly miscue.

”She just overthrew it,” Maddysaid. “I jumped as high as I could.Unfortunately, we didn’t have anyinfielders close enough to back itup either.”

Neither Russell nor Maddyshould stay down on themselves

about the mishap for too long.Fields hopes the duo will continueto develop and contribute to theprogram in a big way.

“I think we can build a dominat-ing program with her and Jaycie asour battery, the coach said. “I seegood things for the future.”

HAMILTON — Thefourth meeting of thebaseball season betweenGreater Catholic LeagueSouth rivals La Salle andElder was a familiarfeeling, mostly a prod-uct of the pitcher’s dueland because both teamsplay a similar brand ofbaseball. On Thursdaynight at Hamilton, LaSalle blanked Elder 1-0and won a Division I sec-tional championship.

La Salle senior start-ing pitcher Nick Ernst,who’s signed with MiamiUniversity, stood tallwith a powerful com-plete-game shutout per-formance. It was thethird time this seasonErnst faced ShaneSmith, Elder’s ace who’salso signed with Miami,and the Panthers wonthe first two.

“I did it (threw well)to them all threegames,” Ernst said after.“It was payback time … Ithought third time’s acharm.”

Senior Anthony Belldrove in what proved tobe the game-winningrun in the third inning,scoring senior AlecLane.

“(Anthony) Bell justcomes up with big hits,”La Salle coach Joe Voe-gele said. “He leads theGCL in RBI. He’s a toughout.”

Ernst allowed threehits, and stopped thePanthers from reachingthird base. Smith, whoalso hurled a complete-game, allowed just fourhits, but three happenedto be in the same inning.

“I think Ernst has

been throwing betterprogressively. He’s puttogether three greatgames (in a row): Moell-er, Westerville Centraland now this one,” ex-plained Voegele. “Ourdefense helped us again.This is the best defen-sive team (in my career)at La Salle.”

Three of the fourgames between Elderand La Salle this seasonwere decided by onerun.

“He’s done that fortwo years against us, itdoesn’t surprise me,”Voegele said of the Elderace.

After addressing histeam for the final time,Elder coach MarkThompson said: “Ernstdid a good job getting hisbreaking ball over today.That was probably thedifference, rather thanthe (first) two times. Hedid a good job keeping(our hitters) off speedwith that breaking ball,mixing his pitches. Hedid a nice job. Hepitched today. Both guyswent at it, they got therun early and we justcouldn’t push oneacross.”

Ernst and Smith havequite the head-to-headhistory together, andcome next spring they’llbe wearing the same col-ors.

“Yea, we’re prettygood friends, we get a lit-tle trash-talking on thefield,” Ernst said, refer-ring to Smith. “I like hima lot, he’s a good dude.”

La Salle, winner ofseven straight, facedHamilton on May 23 (af-ter deadline) in a districtfinal. Visit Cincinnati-.com for the result.

ITNGreaterCincinna-ti not only offers afford-able transportation toseniors and adults withvision impairments, itcan also cut transporta-tion costs in half for sen-iors.

According to AAA’sannual “Your DrivingCosts” study, the 2014 av-erage cost of automobileownership is $8,876 peryear, based on an average15,000 miles driven annu-ally. The average adultbetween the ages of 55and 64 years old drivesapproximately 12,000miles per year, and those65 years old and overdrive less than 8,000miles per year.

We tend to hold on toour automobiles thinkingthat it is less expensivethan other transportationoptions available in ourcommunity. That simplyis not the case. ITNGrea-terCincinnati membersare reducing their over-all transportation budget

through our innovative“pay as you go” transpor-tation solution year afteryear. Who wouldn’t bene-fit from saving money?

ITNGC can help olderadults slash their trans-portation budget by morethan half. ITNGC’s mostfrequent riders average275 trips per year and arepaying less than half ofthe average cost of own-ing a private automobile.Looking at these costs an-other way, the averagecost of a ride with ITNGCis $13. At that rate $8,876would get you over 680rides or 340 round tripsper year. That is almostone round trip ride everyday of the year.

The mission of ITNGCis to provide seniors (60and older) and visuallyimpaired adults with a24/7 transportation re-source that is “arm-through-arm, door-through-door, go whereyou want to go when youwant to go.” ITNGC

breaks down the isolationthat comes when seniorssurrender their keys, andgives visually impairedadults freedom to go be-yond bus routes at a costthey can afford with noride restrictions.

Volunteer drivers pro-vide the rides for ITNGCmaking this service com-munity supported andsustainable. All volun-teers are trained andbackground checked.This is one of the mostgratifying volunteer po-sitions you can have be-cause volunteers workdirectly with clients.

ITNGC has been oper-ating in the Greater Cin-cinnati area since May2010 and was brought tothe area by the Vision Co-alition of Greater Cincin-nati and the DeaconessAssociations Foundation.
