Madeira’s new mayor is hop-ing to keep and improve thecity’s reputation.

Melisa Adrien was re-elect-ed to her second term on Madei-ra city council in November andwas appointed mayor in Decem-ber. Adrien served on the Parksand Recreation Board from2009 until she was elected tocouncil in 2011. She said her de-cision to get involved with thecity is the common Madeira re-sponse.

“We love the community andeverybody is really invested init. I felt like I wanted to be ableto do something to sustain thegreat community that I think wehave and make sure it is in agood position going forward tomaintain its greatness and con-tinue to be one of the top cities tolive in,” Adrien said.

Adrien said her son, Max, aseventh-grader at Madeira Mid-dle School, is another reasonshe wanted to serve the city be-yond the Park Board.

“He is very invested in Ma-deira. I need to do something tomake sure it is still as greatwhen he wants to live here as itis now. I wanted to get more in-volved to make sure we are

making good strategic deci-sions and looking at long termgrowth,” she said.

City Manager Tom Moellersaid he has been impressed withAdrien’s analytical and objec-tive approach to her time as acouncil member and vice may-or.

“She has challenged me, in agood way, to look at differentoptions to a situation. MayorAdrien has a genuine care forthe community. That charactertrait will always serve a mayorwell in their position,” Moellersaid.

Adrien said one of the impor-tant goals for her term is tomake sure the city has a strongfoundation.

“What I mean by foundationis all those things you take forgranted for a city, like roadsthat you can drive on, stop lightsthat work and a police and firedepartment that comes whenyou call them,” she said.

She singled out the streetprogram for needing work. Thestreet repaving program hasgotten off track due to lack offunding and needs $1 million ayear to get back on a 17-yearpaving cycle for the city’s sidestreets.

Residents of Deer Park and Sycamore Town-ship are mourning the loss of a caring and gentleperson who dedicated his life to his communityand children.

Board of Education Member Tom Griswoldpassed away Sunday, Jan. 17, at Mercy-JewishHospital following a brief hospitalization. Fam-ily was by his side. He was 82 years old.

Since 1957 Griswold was involved in DeerPark Schools either as a teacher, administrator,coach, athletic director or board of educationmember. Griswold has served on the Deer ParkBoard of Education since 1998. He was re-elect-ed in the fall to another four-year term.

Hank Estes, a retired teacher and longtimecoach at Deer Park Schools, first met Griswoldin 1959. He remembered him as a man whocared for children and their educational future.

“He loved kids. The best job he ever had wasover at Amity with those little kids,” Estes said.“He’s done all kinds of things for kids since heretired.”

Griswold was especially good at raising mon-ey. He helped the district raise more than$600,000 to install the new track at Deer Park Ju-nior/Senior High School in the early 2000s, hesaid.

“He was likely responsible for raising about$400,000,” he said. “He liked doing this kind ofstuff and he did it very low key. Our track isnamed after him.”

Most recently, Griswold was working on thePride in the Park Field Turf Campaign, in an ef-fort to raise $700,000 to install synthetic turf onthe junior/senior high school stadium field.

Ken Anders, a former president of the DeerPark Athletic Boosters and the Alumni Associa-tion, remembered Griswold as a “great guy.

“We did a lot of work together. It’s been a longtime,” he said.

Deer Park Historian Ann Poole said the em-ployees of Amity Elementary thought veryhighly of Griswold. Her daughter, PennyHodge, is an employee there. His absence willbe felt throughout the district because he reg-ularly visited the schools, she said.

In addition to his 57 years of service to thechildren of Deer Park, Griswold served as aSycamore Township trustee and administrator.He was active in Kenwood Christian Church andMount Healthy Christian Church, serving as anelder and board member for many years.

“Mr. Griswold was a blessing,” MountHealthy Christian Church Pastor MichaelDoerr said. He and his wife, Diane, started com-ing to the church about 10 years ago when theirchurch in Kenwood closed. Mount Healthy wasDiane Griswold’s childhood church, he said.Diane Griswold served as the choir director andTom Griswold served as a church elder and onthe church board.

“It’s a privilege to call Tom a friend and notjust to be able to serve as his pastor. He had astory for everything, and a nickname for every-one. Though he never gave me one,” Doerr said.

Columbia Townshipbegins 2016 with a newtrustee, a hard-wonwaste levy win and hav-ing snared a new busi-ness bringing more than100 employees to thetownship this year.

Newly elected trusteeChris Kritikos joins in-

cumbents Susan Hughesand David Kubicki on theColumbia TownshipBoard of Trustees thismonth.

Kritikos was the topvote-getter in the No-vember elections, whenColumbia Township vot-ers also approved a 5.1-mill waste levy that willcost homeowners about$179 per $100,000 valua-

tion of their homes andgenerate above $614,000a year for the township.

That settled, Colum-bia Township is anticipat-ing the arrival of the CBTCo., which is moving itsheadquarters and 120employees to the town-ship sometime after Julyfrom its old headquartersin downtown Cincinnati.

The CBT Co., whichsupplies automation,power transmission,electrical, belting andpneumatic products andservices, is building a100,000-square-foot facil-ity at the former Kmartsite at 5500 Ridge Ave.

Columbia Townshipwill seek help updatingits comprehensive planfor the township in gener-al and for the PlainvilleRoad area in MadisonPlace in particular, saidtownship AdministratorMichael Lemon.

Columbia Townshipleaders had for five yearsworked to build a $2 mil-lion-plus traffic round-about at the intersectionof Plainville Road andBramble Avenue inhopes of easing trafficand encouraging devel-opment there.

But late last year theplan was killed afterbusinesses on PlainvilleRoad and Bramble Ave-

nue and residents in thearea said they want tofind a different way toimprove the business dis-trict.

“Columbia Townshipwas an exciting place tobe in 2015,” Lemon said.

“Between having con-tentious issues involvinga potential roundabout tohaving contested andheated political races,many accomplishmentswere still made, from re-newing fire contracts tobringing new develop-ments to the township.

“As 2016 unfolds, webelieve it will be anothergood year for advancingthe community,” Lemonsaid.

Lemon said ColumbiaTownship hopes to estab-lish a business associa-tion in the Ridge Roadand Highland Avenuearea and to make im-provements to streets inthe township and todrainage in MadisonPlace.

Accomplishments lastyear included renewingcontracts for fire ser-vices with the Golf Man-or Fire Department andthe Deer Park SilvertonJoint Fire District andfor police services withthe Hamilton CountySheriff’s Office, Lemonsaid.

Columbia Townshipalso designated the Com-munity ImprovementCorporation of GreaterCincinnati as its econom-ic-development arm, ini-tiated a wayfinding pro-ject for the Ridge Roadand Highland Avenuearea and contracted withSycamore Township toenforce the propertymaintenance code.

“I want to make surewe get back on track withmaking sure we have agood, holistic approach tomaintaining our streetand storm water infra-structure. It is not some-thing that is going to hap-pen overnight. I think weneed to do a little bit ofhomework,” she said.

Adrien added shehopes to maintain and im-prove Madeira’s reputa-tion for the influx of newfamilies to the area.

“Their needs, their de-sires for the communityare slightly different thanthe ones that exist in ourcommunity today. Theymoved here because theysaw something greatabout Madeira, but they

also want Madeira toevolve with them,” shesaid.

She added she wantsthe city to have a visionand a plan so it remains asgreat for current and fu-ture residents.

“I would like to havesome real goals and tar-gets that we are movingtoward, that we know aregoing to be the things thatwe hang our future repu-tation on,” Adrien said.

“Everybody he met, theywalked away laughingand smiling.”

Doerr said he neverknew Griswold as a coach,principal or school boardmember. “My impression,in that sort of a setting,Tom was no pushover, buthe made sure you knewthat he believed in you,”he said. “That’s what I seehere in terms of his lead-ership for his church. Hehad some expectationsbut he was gentle in ex-pressing those and alwaysencouraging.”

Doerr also knew Gris-wold as a man of faith.

“I know that theschools saw it, but youdon’t wear your faith onyour sleeve in the publicschool. It was obvious whohe was and it camethrough,” he said. “I hadthe privilege of seeing hisfaith in action. That was abig piece of everythingelse he did in life.”

Sycamore TownshipTrustee Cliff Bishopjoined the board of trust-ees not long before Gris-wold left. He served as atrustee from 1985-1988and then as a township ad-ministrator from 1988 to1989. After that he pur-sued his career with theschools, Bishop said.

“I can tell you, he was atrue gentleman,” he said.

According to theMount Healthy ChristianChurch’s Facebook page,Griswold grew up inHamilton and graduatedfrom “Big Blue” (Hamil-ton) in 1951. He went on toplay football at MiamiUniversity. His collegedays were interrupted bytwo years of service in the

U.S. Army. He returned toMiami and graduated inJune 1957 with a degree inhealth and physical edu-cation. He received hismaster’s in educationfrom Xavier University.

Griswold is survivedby his wife, Diane, threechildren - Julie Griswoldof Houston, Texas, Jennyand her husband DanRamsey of Germantown,Ohio, and Scott Griswoldand his wife Sonia ofSpringboro, Ohio, andeight grandchildren, Mol-ly (Matt) Hickey, Jess(Hannah) Ramsey, Meg,Addy and Gretchen Ram-sey, Sarah Grace, Sam andSeth Griswold.

It is estimated that 90 million Americanssnore during sleep. While half of these peo-ple are “simple snorers,” the other halfmay have a serious sleep disorder called Ob-structive Sleep Apnea. Dr. Kitzmiller, of Cin-cinnati Dental Sleep Medicine, treats patientsevery day in his Milford office and shares an-swers to the most frequently asked questionshe receives.

Q: What is the difference between snoringand sleep apnea?A: “Snoring is the sound produced duringsleep by the vibration of the soft tissues in theupper airway (nose and throat). Obstructivesleep apnea is a medical condition where thesoft tissues of the throat collapse and blockthe airway during sleep. Most often, sleep ap-nea sufferers are reported to not only snore,but to stop breathing multiple times per hourand wake with a gasp.”

Q: Are there any health risks with sleep ap-nea?A: “Yes. In addition to excessive fatigue, un-treated sleep apnea can contribute to a num-ber of health conditions including high bloodpressure, diabetes, depression, weight gain,and morning headaches. Untreated sleep ap-nea has also been linked to heart attack andstroke.”

Q:How can I find out if it’s more than snoring?A: “Only a physician can diagnose sleep ap-nea. This is done with an overnight sleep test,either in a sleep facility or at home. After acomplimentary health screening in our officewe can guide you to an appropriate physicianfor further evaluation.”

Q:What are treatment options for snoring andsleep apnea?A: “Snoring solutions typically include weightloss and not sleeping on your back. Sleep ap-nea treatments included CPAP devices, OralAppliances, and surgery. In our office we treatour snoring and sleep apnea patients with anoral appliance, an FDA approved medical de-vice that fits over your teeth and holds thelower jaw forward, keeping the airway openwhile you sleep.”

Q: Does medical insurance cover any of thetreatment?A: “We have been very successful in using ourpatient’s medical insurance to cover a portionof the treatment fee. During the complimen-

Madeira City Councilis calling for a trafficstudy as it considers clos-ing Railroad Avenue totraffic.

Council received a rec-ommendation from thePlanning Commission forimmediate improvementsto the Main Street CoreDistrict to increase pe-destrian comfort andsafety.

The recommendationsincluded vacating Rail-road Avenue to createopen public green spaceconnecting the formerB&B Mower site and Cen-tennial Plaza from MiamiAvenue to the easternboundary of any new de-velopment at the B&BMower site.

Paxton’s Grill co-own-er Tom Powers is closingon the B&B Mower site.He plans to turn it into arestaurant called SwingLine Grill and create apublic parking area.

The recommendationsalso include working withany proposed developerfor the former B&B Mow-er site to set new bound-aries for the property be-cause buildings could bebuilt in the Railroad Ave-nue right-of-way, if thestreet was closed.

City Manager TomMoeller said a trafficstudy would have to beconducted if the city wereto close the road and theutilities, such as powerlines and storm water,would have to be re-viewed if the right-of-waywere to change.

“Talking about utilitiesand vacating right-of-way, it looks like an issuepublic works (committee)would need to look at. We

are also talking about dis-cussing with adjoiningproperty owners, it issomething that economicdevelopment (committee)would need to look at toofrom an interaction withthe current business com-munity standpoint tomake sure we are makinga decision that is a posi-tive impact on the overallbusiness community,”Mayor Melisa Adriensaid.

A motion for a trafficstudy and for the recom-mendations to be re-viewed by the publicworks and economic de-velopment committeeswere both approved by a6-0 vote of council. ViceMayor Traci Theis wasnot at the meeting.

The idea of closingRailroad Avenue to creategreen space was raised atthe public involvementmeeting in earlyDecember. Business own-ers voiced concerns be-cause the road is a mainaccess point to their busi-nesses.

“The most importantfirst step for committeesto further take action is toreally begin with a trafficstudy. What is the in andout on Railroad Avenue?I’d like to understand howpeople are coming inthrough there and the in-let between A Tavola andthe Hosbrook house,”Councilwoman NancySpencer said.

Councilman Chris Hil-berg, the representativeto the planning commis-sion, said the resolution issubject to change and thecommission plans to de-velopment a long-termplan.

Deer Park Junior/SeniorHigh School

» In the summer months,Doug Miller works as an anat-omy instructor at Mount St.Joseph University. Due toMiller’s great relationshipwith the University and hispassion for instructing youngminds, Mount Sr. Joseph gra-ciously donated human brainsto the Deer Park Junior/Sen-ior High School.

These brains were re-moved and studied by theUniversity students this pastsummer. There are 11 brainsfor the anatomy students tostudy. These are whole, intacthuman brains.

Since the fall, Miller hasbeen hard at work developingplans for how the brains willbe studied in his anatomycourse. He describes hisplans:

“In our study of the cere-brum, we’ll be looking for theareas that control vision,speech, sense of touch, volun-tary movements, taste, etc. Inaddition, we’ll look at theareas of the cerebrum thatcontrol the sensations of painand temperature. We’ll talkabout and study the pre-front-al cortex which controls ab-stract intellectual functioningand allows one to ‘thinkahead.’

“We’ll also look at the cere-bellum which controls bal-ance and coordination. We’lllook at the brain stem and talkabout its vital importance inthings like breathing, bloodpressure and heart rate. We’llalso be able to see the stumpof the spinal cord and its at-tachment to the brain stem.

“We’re going to study thearterial blood supply to thebrain and learn the names ofthe individual arteries. We’llbe learning about the all-im-portant “circle of Willis.” Wewill talk about how these ar-teries relate to things likestrokes and aneurysms.

“We will look at how the 12pairs of cranial nerves attachto the brain, as well as talkabout their functions.

“Students will most likelybe able to cut two r three ofthem in sagittal section to seesome of the components ofthe limbic system. I think thatit would be really cool for thestudents to see the part of thebrain where learning takesplace, as well as the part ofthe brain linked to long-termmemory storage (and Alz-heimer’s disease).”

Moeller High School» Moeller students Alec

Hoelker '16 (Blue Ash), LoganNelson '16 (Indian Hill) andJonathan Gardner '19 (Mason)celebrated their Eagle Scoutaccomplishments and suc-cess.

Hoelker, a Boy Scout mem-ber since November 2008,completed his Eagle projectconsisting of benching andshelving for the Blue AshYMCA.

He has also earned 31 Mer-it Badges and the EagleAward in February 2014.

Nelson’s Eagle Scout pro-ject at Green Acres Founda-tion consisted of handicapaccess and garden beds forthe facility.

He has been a member ofthe Boy Scouts since Septem-ber 2010. He has also received25 Merit Badges and the Ea-gle Award in September 2015.

Gardner completed hisEagle project at Warm Wel-comes Foster Care Outreachwhere he worked on new of-fice construction. He hasbeen a member of the BoysScouts since December 2011has also earned 37 Merit

Badges and the Eagle Awardin October 2014.

St. Ursula Academy» Senior Maria Nena Raca-

dio of Madeira earned a per-fect score of 36 on the ACTtest.

Racadio is particularlyproud of her accomplishmentbecause she is part of SaintUrsula’s Educational Servicesprogram for students withlearning disabilities.

“I would like others toknow that having a learningdisability and being in ES(educational services) doesnot mean you won’t do as wellin school as others. At someother schools, this may holdsome truth, but at Saint Ursu-la we are so blessed to havesuch an amazing program thatrecognizes our abilities andpotential and helps us to un-mask them. Some people won-der why I don’t just skip APand honors classes if they aretoo difficult for me, but theydo not understand that I canhandle those classes, I just doso in a little different waythan others,” Racadio said.

Racadio is very involved atschool outside of the class-room. She is the service coor-dinator for the National Hon-

or Society and is active as acrew and a cast member inSUA’s theater program, presi-dent of the Yoga Club, a mem-ber of the French Honor Soci-ety, Thespian Honor Societyand Students for Advance-ment.

She isn’t sure where shewill be attending college nextyear, but with a perfect ACTand her status as a NationalMerit Semifinalist, she willcertainly have many options.She plans to major in psychol-ogy.

JANUARY 27, 2016 • SUBURBAN LIFE • 7ANEWS

I’m a softie when it comes to Mother Na-ture’s orphans. Especially where we live, atthe end of an old country road - and especial-ly during this frigid weather.

For the past several months we’ve beenvisited daily by a gray cat. “She” doesn’thang around the whole day, but we’ve noticedthe mice population in the garage this winteris zero. During Sunday dinner the cat cameto the back kitchen door. The grandkidspeeked out to see. Will asked if she had aname. “No, we just call her cat,” I told him. “Ithink Silky is a good name,” Will said. So Silky it is.

The good thing about the name is its gender neu-tral so we’re safe if “she” turns out to be a “he.” Weusually give dry cat food, but today I gave her a bitof sautéed ground beef when I was making this soup.It’s the first time she allowed me to get close enough

to pet her - her way of saying thanks?

Tip from Rita’s kitchenGruyere is a creamy Swiss cheese worth

the price. Swap it out with Swiss if you needto.

Readers want to knowHow do I steep saffron?This spice is expensive. Place the threads

in a small amount of liquid for 10 minutes orso. The liquid will turn yellow. Add the liquid

to your recipe. Besides boosting flavor, steepingdistributes color more evenly.

Secret ingredient spicy 30-minute beefvegetable soup

I won’t pretend this is a new recipe. I’ve shared it before,but I always get requests to publish it again, particularly duringsoup weather.

So here it is, for Charlie, a Wyoming reader, and thatyoung couple I chatted with after church. I’ve changed therecipe a bit. This soup has a cult following. I’m not surprised.It’s really that good, and really that easy. Can you tell what thesecret ingredient is?

l-1/2 pounds lean ground beef - I used sirloin in the photorecipe

1 heaping cup chopped yellow or white onion, not sweetonion

2 cloves garlic, minced1 jar chunky garden style pasta sauce2 cans low sodium beef brothWater to taste (start with 1 or 2 soup cans of water and

go from there)10 oz. can tomatoes and chilies or 14.5 oz. diced tomatoes

if you don’t want it spicy1 pound or so frozen soup or mixed vegetables, thawed if

you have timeSeveral handfuls any fresh greensCheddar for garnish

Sauté meat, onion and garlic together in pot until meat iscooked. Now add everything else but the greens. Bring to aboil and let simmer for about 30 minutes. Toss in greens andcook until just wilted, about a minute more.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen: A potato masher works wondersto break up the ground beef as it cooks.

Watch Rita! Check out my YouTube channel on my siteAbouteating.com to see me making the soup.

French onion soup with Gruyere croutons

I love this soup. It’s not complicated, just takes some timecaramelizing the onions. I use my food processor to slice them.

4-5 pounds large onions, sliced very thin1/2 to 1 stick butter6 cups low sodium beef broth or chicken broth8 slices French bread, sliced 1/2”, toasted on one side1/2 pound Gruyere, grated

To toast bread: Brush very lightly with olive oil or spraywith olive oil spray. Run under broiler until golden on top, orbake in 400 degree oven.

Cook onions in butter over medium heat, stirring fre-quently, for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Add brothslowly, stirring constantly, until soup comes to a boil. Lower tosimmer, cover and cook 20 minutes. Season to taste. Fill ovenproof bowls with soup. Place slice of bread, toasted sidedown, on top of each. Divide cheese among bread slices. Broiluntil cheese melts.

Keep warm with steamybowls of homemade soup

A publication of

Recently two South Amer-ican countries realized thattheir economic failures weredue to equalitarian economics.

They started the long ardu-ous change to a governmentthat allows the public to settheir own values and work forthem. There is more meaningin this than most people real-ize. As a graduate in businessadministration. I have a fairknowledge of economics.

As a former business owner,I saw first hand how employ-ees react to favorable workingconditions. It was a pleasure tome to see them bring theirchildren to work for me be-cause it was a good place towork. It also meant that mytraining and replacement costs

were very low. Deliveries

were on timedue to employ-ee loyalty.

Politicshave changedfor the worsesince thosedays. Educa-tion in eco-nomics hasalso changed

for the worse. As I no longerhave a business, my criticismis not for my benefit, but forthe American working folksthat are caught in an economywhich works against them.Sadly this economy has manypoliticians who claim to be forthe working folks and the low-

er income brackets yet pro-duce laws that hurt the peoplethey claim to help.

We will examine this insome detail after you considerthe very valuable quotationthat follows. This is from Win-ston Churchill: “The vice ofcapitalism is that it stands forthe unequal sharing of bless-ings, whereas the virtue ofsocialism is that it stands forthe equal sharing of misery.”

A healthy economy is onewhere employers have morebusiness than they can satisfy.This means that good workerscan choose who they want towork for and employers haveto make working for themattractive. In the economy thathas come from the false equal-

ity we are producing, workerscompete with each other forany job, reasonable or notwhen their benefits run out.

There is still a serious prob-lem. The benefits add to a fastgrowing government deficit.This will involve printing mon-ey and/or raising taxes on peo-ple who create jobs. They willreact by reducing hiring, auto-mating, importing or closingbusinesses. I have seen theresults of this type of economy.On one side of the street therewere old shipping containers.Those were the living quarters.On the other side there was aneat row of portolets. Therewas a sad equality there.

Inequality is used as a dirtyword by politicians. In reality

it is the result of the valueproduced by each person in theeconomic cycle. Granted, it isnot always fair, in a free econo-my one has the opportunity tomove to a better job if one hasthe skills and work habits thatwarrant a change for the bet-ter.

As I wrote in a previousessay, making it profitable tohire workers and to take a jobwould solve many of our pover-ty problems. Another of thebenefits of this change wouldbe that the wealthy and middleclass would be more likely tospend money thus creatingmore opportunities for work-ing folks.

A CLOSER LOOK AT ECONOMICS

Ed LevyCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

Jan. 20 questionWhat do you think of the

Wisconsin Interscholastic Athlet-ic Association’s decision to bancheers it deems disrespectful ortaunting toward opposingteams and athletes?

“While it is a great gesture,as long as parents are allowedinto the stands at sportingevents you will always havedisrespectful taunting or jeer-ing towards opposing teamsand athletes.”

C.S.

“Shame it has even come tothis. Sports used to includesportsmanship, not tauntingand ridicule. Lose with graceand win with even more grace.Not today. Now it has to bewritten into rules.”

C.G.

“Tell Wisconsin to get alife.”

M.A.M.

“The Wisconsin Interscho-lastic ban on certain highschool cheers is a bit frivolous.In this age of politically cor-rectness it does fit the newline of ‘thinking.’ To me a highschool should police theirstudents and foul languageshould not be allowed. I thinkthe Wisconsin move is a bitover the top; besides the clev-er cheers are mostly done incollege. Go figure!”

T.D.T.

Jan. 13 questionWhat changes, if any, would

you make to the primary systemfor choosing presidential candi-dates?

“In the past few yearsmany states (including Ohio)have altered the timing oftheir primaries to make themmore meaningful. With that inmind other states will altertheirs when and if needed.Some states like to be at thefront end and early, otherprefer to be later with fewercandidates. The abundance ofdebates on all subjects hasexposed the potential candi-dates to greater scrutiny thanin the past. I do not see anyreason to change the primaryprocess as it seems to evolveon its own. I look forward to apotential series of showdowndebates this fall between Don-ald Trump and Hillary Clinton.That show could top the SuperBowl for a viewing audience.”

T.D.T.

Jan. 6 questionWhat is the best way to han-

dle the Syrian refugee situa-tion?

“I have not heard any ex-planation of where these refu-gees would be housed duringthe up-to-two year vettingprocess. Then, in addition tothe basically total lack of his-tory on these people availablefrom within Syria, any pre-sumed vetting by our over-sized government depart-ments that have repeatedlyproved to be pretty incompe-tent, entry by these people intothe U.S. would be a risky prop-osition for our own innocentsand targeted groups. Oneradical Islamist among themcould be released among us toact on his or her own to com-mit a terrorist act on our soil;or to radicalize discontentsalready here who gained entrylegally or illegally or whowere actually born here. Sure-ly locating a portion of landclose to Syria and offeringhelp in the way of security andsupplies would be more costand security effective. Itmight well be the more accept-able solution for the majorityof the refugee families them-selves, not having to be sep-arated from their homelandand way of life.”

Madeira had more going onThursday than just trying tokeep pace with front-runningMariemont in the CincinnatiHills League girls’ basketballrace.

The Amazons also were“Thinking Pink,” raising moneyfor the American Cancer Soci-ety with a bake sale, raffle andauction and by honoring cancersurvivors in a pregame ceremo-ny.

Led by sophomore guardsMary Englert and Marin Kline,they got the job done on thecourt. Englert scored 23 pointsand Kline added 20 as Madeirarolled to a 75-31 win.

They also got the job done offthe court with their fundraisingefforts. Proceeds were split be-tween the American Cancer So-ciety and the Pam Evans SmithFoundation, founded in thememory of Madeira coach Hay-ley Warden’s coach at Witten-berg, a cancer victim.

Each survivor was intro-duced on the court and receiveda pink rose from a Madeiraplayer. Pink ribbons criss-crossed the air above the en-trance to the gym like an aw-ning, and pink ribbons werewound around the bleacher ban-isters.

The Blue Devils got into thespirit, wearing white warmupshirts with pink printing, andAmazon hairbands were pink.

“I thought it went reallywell,” Warden said. “Both of mygrandparents also were cancervictims, so nights like this mean

a lot to me, especially when thecommunity gets involved withdonations to help us raise mon-ey.”

Besides distributing roses,Madeira’s players also were re-sponsible for the baked goods,Kline said.

“We love tonight,” said Kline,who contributed pretzel rodsdipped in chocolate and coveredin sprinkles. “It’s one of our fa-vorite nights every year to playin front of a big crowd for a goodcause.”

Madeira, the No. 2 team inthe Enquirer’s Division IIIcoaches’ poll, went into thegame 1-1⁄2 games behind Marie-mont, Division II’s top-rankedteam, in the CHL. The teams arescheduled to meet in the regu-lar-season finale on Feb. 6.

Senior forward Jamie Grobalso reached double figureswith 10 points for Madeira (14-3,8-1), which fell two points shortof matching its single-gameseason high for scoring.

Junior guard Sam Vancescored 11 points to lead Reading(5-11, 3-6), which was limited to asingle-game season low inpoints while suffering its worstloss of the season.

The Amazons never trailedafter Englert scored on a layupfour seconds into the game. Ma-deira capitalized on nine Read-ing turnovers to race to a 20-5first-quarter lead.

Reading committed just fourturnovers in the second quarter,but the Amazons were able towiden the margin to as many as29 points in the second quarter

KENWOOD - At manyschools, a swimmer on the levelof Cooper Hodge would be rec-ognized as the proverbial “bigman on campus”.

At Moeller High School,where every other locker seem-ingly belongs to a standout ath-lete or resident genius, it’s easyto get lost in the shuffle. Howev-er, the wet-haired Hodge ismaking a name for himself onMontgomery Road by winningtitles and setting records.

“I think it receives a healthyamount of notice,” Hodge said.“Football does get a lot of thepress, but everyone does get ex-cited for the winter sports ofbasketball, wrestling and swim-ming.”

In the recent Southwest OhioCoaches Classic meet, the sen-ior matched a feat he accom-plished once before as a sopho-

more by winning three events.Hodge won the 100 backstrokeand 200 and 400 individual med-ley races, setting meet records.

“This year I broke three ofthe records, so I was happierwith the performance,” Hodgesaid. “I don’t really have the rec-

ords in mind, but they’re nice tosee and try to go after.”

A first-team Greater Catho-lic League-South performer ayear ago, Hodge would like tosee the Crusaders snare anoth-er second-place Division I statefinish. As with every season for

more than 50 years, the Crusad-ers chase perennial swimmingpowerhouse St. Xavier.

“Our team goals are ex-tremely high this year,” Hodgesaid. “Shooting for another sec-ond-place finish would be a real-ly good end to the season.”

Hodge would like to fare wellin Canton at the state meet, buthis ultimate goal will actually beseveral miles south the follow-ing week in Clearwater, Florida,at the Junior National meet. Be-fore he gets involved in the Uni-versity of Wisconsin’s program,he’d like to have a run at the na-tional stage.

“This year being an Olympicyear, it’s a bit more demandingwith Olympic trials in June,”Hodge said. “Doing well at themeet is a huge priority. It’s notoptimal to not focus on highschool swimming, but it kind ofhas to be done. That meet in

before settling for a 44-17 half-time lead. Kline, whose previ-ous single-game career high in3-pointers was three, finishedthe half with five 3-pointersand 17 points.

Kline didn’t feel particular-ly hot going into the game, shesaid.

“Every game, I feel thesame,” she said. “I try to takeshots in pregame from everyspot. Tonight, I made most ofthem. Usually when I do that Idon’t have a good game.”

Florida is a qualifying meet.”Hodge has been swimming

since age 5 and also played bas-ketball and baseball until his ju-nior high years. He’s since beena full-time swimmer, trainingwith the Mason Manta Rays. Hisdecision to swim in the Big 10for Wisconsin was fairly easy.

“I like the cold; it’s not goingto be a problem,” Hodge said.“It was really the town that sold

me. Also, the coaching staff andteam are focused on becoming atop five program. Right now,they’re 12th or 13th.”

PRICE HILL - Moeller and El-der turned the 55th Catholic In-vitational Tournament into theirown battle for much of the annu-al wrestling event at Elder’s Me-morial Fieldhouse before Moell-er pulled away to win with ascore of 249.

Elder, which led by a pointwith only a few finals matches togo, settled for second place with232 points. Third-place MentorLake Catholic was well behindthe local powers with 194.5points. St. Xavier was the onlyother local team in the top 10with an eighth-place score of91.5.

Moeller, ranked No. 1 in thelatest Enquirer Division I coach-es’ poll, got individual wins byJake Thompson at 138 pounds,Jacoby Ward at 152, Jack Meyerat 220 and Joe Hensley at 285.

Elder got wins by Robby Os-wald at 160 and Ti’Ric Evans at170. The fourth-ranked Panthersled Moeller 228-227 after Evans’win, but Meyer put the Crusad-ers ahead for good with a 14-1major decision over ColumbusBishop Hartley’s Jared Cros-well.

It was Meyer’s 100th varsitywin.

“It’s awesome,” Meyer said ofhis win. “I thought I did prettywell. Right off the bat, I got apretty quick takedown. I just

kept working my tail off. Icouldn’t really get any good pincombos, so I just racked up thescore.”

The major decision earned anextra point. Meyer knew hecould get even another point forhis team with a tech fall if he wonby 15.

“I wanted to get that tech fall,but I just couldn’t get any goodshots in at the end,” Meyer said.“For a while there we were only

beating Elder by point-five, andthat’s just from a tech fall get-ting us an extra point. So thatmajor was a big deal.”

Earlier in the session, Wardscored a major decision in his10-2 win over Toledo CentralCatholic’s Richard Jackson inthe final of the 152-pound brack-et. Ward built a 7-0 lead early inthe second period and scoredtwo points as the final secondsticked off in the final period, de-

spite a jammed thumb. Wardknew about the extra point avail-able.

“I was aware of it, but Icouldn’t really squeeze my righthand,” Ward said. “I couldn’treally squeeze with my thumbbecause I jammed it. So I justhad to play it safe and only takemy shots when I had them.”

Ward crossed off somewhatof a bucket-list item with thewin. “I hadn’t won a CIT yet,”Ward said. “I was second lastyear and lost in overtime to theeventual state champ. So I want-ed to win this at least once. Iwent out there with the determi-nation to win it. After I got thattake down, I felt confident.”

Oswald and Evans followedWard’s win with back-to-backwins to propel the Panthers intothe lead. Oswald outlasted Har-tley’s Zach Bowman 7-4 at 160 af-ter building a big lead and heldon with a sore leg. The matchhad to be stopped for a few min-utes during the second periodwhile trainers and a doctor tend-ed to Oswald.

“He was bending my leg upand then he started bending it tothe left, so it was just bendingthe wrong way,” Oswald said.“Initially the pain was prettygreat, but when (the doctor) wasmoving it around, it started tofeel a lot better. When I stood up,it really started to feel better.About 20 seconds into the third, Istarted to feel normal again.”

Oswald didn’t expect an easymatch.

“I really wanted to slow himdown and take shots when Ineeded to take shots,” Oswaldsaid. “I didn’t want to be divingat shots because I knew he hadpretty good defense.”

Evans also expected a toughmatch with Padua’s Eric Fas-nacht, but the Elder 170-pounderheld on for a 3-2 win.

“I went into the match think-ing about how he had the experi-ence because he placed higherthan me at Brecksville,” Evanssaid. “But my uncle OrlandoScales and Coach (Jason) Roushtold me what to do. They said tostay low and stay in good posi-tion and you will have thismatch. I always believe whatthey say to me. In my mind, Iknew I could do it.”

Jake Thompson earned thefirst title of the day for Moellerwith a 3-0 win over Mentor LakeCatholic’s Luke McKeon.Thompson took and 1-0 leadearly in the second period andclung to that advantage untilscoring two points in the third.

“I knew coming in that it wasgoing to be a close match,”Thompson said. “It can bestressful, but you know all sea-son long you’ve been preparingfor this. So I was ready for it.”

Hensley closed out the titlesfor Moeller when he pinnedTrinity’s Charlie Draucker earlyin the second period.

INDIAN HILL - To get the In-dian Hill High School girls bas-ketball team back to the level itwas when they won four straightCincinnati Hills League titles be-tween 2009-2012, coach ChrisArington needs numbers.

Obviously, points are a plus,but the key ingredient is a talentpool.

The Lady Braves have a quin-tet that competes with anyone inthe league. Senior SamanthaArington is a four-year starterand junior Ellie Schaub will benext year. Senior Marshana Bas-kin has been solid upon her ar-rival and freshman Karisa Gran-dison will eventually be a four-year starter.

The rest of the rotation ismainly sophomore Kate Vollmerand freshman Nina Price.

“Basically, we have five var-sity players,” Arington said.“The rest of the girls play JV. It

gets to be a little bit of a jugglingact when anyone gets hurt, hasto miss or gets in foul trouble.”

Because of the lack of veter-ans, Indian Hill has been up anddown depending on injuries.

This season, they’ve been in

the middle of the pack. They’vebeaten the teams they should,but have struggled with deeperWyoming, Madeira and Marie-mont squads.

A staple of Indian Hill’s suc-cess has come from the press.

The starting five is athleticenough to execute pressure.However, if the whistles don’t goArington’s way, it’s difficult.

“You’ve got to have depth todo it,” he said. “It’s the first timein four years that we’ve had a JVteam. The next few years lookpromising at Indian Hill as far asnumbers.”

Nine freshman are on thesquad, with Price and Grandisongetting the most minutes. Gran-dison is the team’s third-leadingscorer behind Schaub and SamArington and is the assist leaderrunning the point.

Schaub leads the team inscoring at 17-18 per game with ahigh of 29. The junior guard alsoexhibits the good hands thatmake her a skilled soccer goaliein the fall, leading the LadyBraves in steals.

Shooter Arington has had tomove in and out of the paintthroughout her career and isback in this season. She aver-ages 13 points per game and has

had a high of 22. From the field,the team goes as she goes.

Unfortunately, she’s not a nat-ural post player. “That’s not goodin the CHL,” Arington said.“There’s a lot of big girls in theCHL. We pretty much play fiveguards or five forwards, but wedon’t have a center. Team’s packit in on us and don’t let us get tothe basket.”

Indian Hill closes out the reg-ular season with Madeira Jan.30, Deer Park Feb. 3, then the fi-nale at Reading Feb. 6. Fromthere, Arington hopes for healthand a good draw in the tourna-ment.

This is the final prep seasonfor his latest daughter, Saman-tha, at Indian Hill, but he has afourth-grader and an eye for thefuture off Drake Road.

“I love working with the girlsand seeing what we’re buildinghere,” Arington said. “Our JVteam’s doing well and girls arehaving fun, so we’re obviouslydoing something right.”

REAL ESTATETRANSFERS

The Dental Hygiene Clinic atUC Blue Ash College is offeringfree dental care to the public dur-ing Community Dental Day, 9a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, Feb. 5, at thecollege, 9555 Plainfield Road.

The event is free, but the num-ber of patients who can be treat-ed is limited. Anyone who is inter-ested in attending must registerby Friday, Jan. 29 by going towww.ucblueash.edu/dentalday.

To help accommodate as manypatients as possible, each personwill receive one free service dur-ing the event, choosing from fill-ings, extractions, teeth clean-ings, or sealants.

The goal of the UC Blue AshCommunity Dental Day is to pro-

vide access to dental care forthose who do not have dental in-surance or who have never beento a dentist. A report by the OhioDepartment of Health shows that45 percent of adults in Ohio do nothave dental insurance, whilemore than half of the childrenacross the state have experi-enced tooth decay by the thirdgrade.

“There is such a need for ac-cess to quality dental care acrossthe nation and it’s no different inGreater Cincinnati,” said CadyShort-Thompson, dean of UCBlue Ash College. “We are host-ing this event to help make a dif-ference, to help some of the mostunderserved portions of our pop-

ulation receive the care theyneed.”

Six local dentists and count-less dental professionals are gen-erously donating their time tohelp with Community DentalDay.

“This event would not be pos-sible without the amazing gener-osity that exists in the dental carecommunity in Greater Cincin-nati,” said Cyndee Stegeman,chair of the Dental Hygiene De-partment at UC Blue Ash. “Weare amazed and so grateful to allwho give their time and expertiseto help those in need.”

Donations from local organi-zations also make this event pos-sible. The Dental Care Plus

Group and Maxwell WeaverFoundation have both donatedfunds to support new equipmentand supplies that allow for morerestorative care opportunities inthe Dental Hygiene Clinic.

Students in the dental hygieneprogram at UC Blue Ash regular-ly provide oral health exams andteeth cleanings for patients in theclinic at a very discounted rate,but a dentist is required to deliv-er restorative care for patientswho need fillings or teeth extrac-tions.

If you have questions aboutCommunity Dental Day or needinformation, go to www.ucblueash.edu/dentalday or call513-936-1668.

Madeira resident SimonWilliams attended US NavySea Cadet Navy League BasicOrientation at Camp Perry,Red Horse Air Force Baseover winter break.

This winter, in prepa-ration for the holiday sea-son, students at MadeiraElementary, MontgomeryElementary, Blue Ash El-ementary, Sycamore Ju-nior High, Greene Schooland St. Xavier HighSchool shared their sparetime and their best skillscollecting for the North-east Emergency Distribu-tion Service food pantryas part of their holidayseason ritual.

For the third year in arow and under the guid-ance of teacher CherylThomas, the GreeneSchool after-school clubSTRIVE delivered andput away a massiveamount of cans. TheGreene School studentscouldn’t wait to tell theNEEDS adult volunteersthat one Greene Schoolstudent donated his birth-day money and bought1,000 cans to donate.

The Sycamore JuniorHigh and Montgomery El-ementary School broughttwo trucks worth of items.At the Nov. 23 NEEDSboard meeting it was not-ed that the SycamoreSchools “really filled thepantry” and the boardthanked them “for all

their help.”The young men of St.

Xavier are known fortheir strength and endur-ance. Students who par-ticipate not only learn thevalue of volunteering,they come to understandthe concept of “shelf-life”when organizing thecanned goods and they geta taste of how physicallyhard it is to stock foodpantries.

The NEEDS Board iscomprised of representa-tives from a communityof 25 churches and civicorganizations who takepart in doing God’s workthrough caring for theirneighbors by providingbasic emergency assis-tance. NEEDS board over-sees an active food pantrythat is located in the Ken-wood Baptist Church andprovides neighbors-in-need with housing andutility payment assis-tance.

As an all-volunteer co-operative, the NEEDS Ex-ecutive Board meetsmonthly to determine themost efficient way to fillits food pantry and howbest to spend its re-sources as they help localfamilies survive stressfultimes. NEEDS does not re-ceive government fund-ing. NEEDS serves morethan 2,500 people in north-

eastern Hamilton County.Ask your church, officegroup or civic organiza-tion if it’s part of the com-munity that supportsNEEDS; there is alwaysroom for more volunteershowever you choose tohelp.

It is the mission of theNortheast EmergencyDistribution Service(NEEDS) to provide emer-gency assistance to theneediest families in theNortheast Cincinnaticommunity.

In addition to cannedgoods and non-perish-ables, community mem-bers can also supportNEEDS monetarily bysending checks to:NEEDS, 8341 KenwoodRoad, Cincinnati, Ohio45236.

The NEEDS food pan-try is at the Kenwood Bap-tist Church, 8341 Ken-wood Road and is openTuesday and Thursdaysfrom 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thepantry will re-open Tues-day, Jan. 5.

Donations of cannedgoods and other items arealways accepted at theNEEDS food pantry.

For pick-up of donateditems or to ask questionsplease call 513-891-0850 orcheckout NEEDS web-site: www.cincyneeds.org.
