At a time of year when manypause to consider the things forwhich they are thankful, Madei-ra Middle School students arefocusing their attention onneed.

“We’re doing Empty Bowlsand it’s a project to raise aware-ness for hunger, homelessnessand poverty,” student MargaretSampson said. “We’ve beenworking for a while on researchand we’re doing booths for peo-ple to know more about theproblems and how to help.”

The Empty Bowls event isscheduled for 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.Friday, Dec. 4, at Madeira Mid-

dle School cafeteria and gymna-sium. Because community sup-port for the event has been tre-mendous in past years, it hasbeen extended by one hour thisyear, the space extended to in-clude the gymnasium, and morebowls were added, languagearts teacher Lindsey Isaacssaid.

The bowls symbolize all thepeople around the world and lo-cally who have empty bowls andcan’t get anything to eat, stu-dent Katy Dimmitt said.

“All the guests who come into eat, they get a bowl to takehome and it’s like tying a knotaround their finger. It’s a re-minder about what EmptyBowls is really all about,” she

said.Empty Bowls is an interna-

tional grassroots movement toend hunger. Madeira’s studentsbegan their project about twomonths ago by reading the book“Start Something that Matters”written by the founder ofTOMS, Blake Mycoskie. Thebook’s focus is on having a posi-tive, global impact. TOMS oper-ates on the one-for-one businessmodel which involves helping aperson in need with every prod-uct purchased.

Over a two month period –through work in art, social stud-ies and language arts – the stu-dents researched specific so-

A local group that organizeda crisis relief project for over-seas is hoping to raise funds tocontinue its mission of helpingchildren and families impactedby the war in Syria.

Crisis Relief OverSeas(CROS) is hosting a fundraisingWine & Craft Beer event Friday,Dec. 4, at Archbishop MoellerHigh School, 9001 MontgomeryRoad. The evening runs 7 p.m.to 10 p.m. with tickets costing$50. There is also a VIP eventstarting at 6 p.m. with ticketsfor the entire evening costing$100. A total of 500 admissiontickets are available. To RSVPvisit www.crosinitiative.org.

CROS was founded in 2015 byChris Erdmann and veteran Fla-vio Gallegos. Erdman, theCROS president, is a local man.Now 33, he grew up in AndersonTownship and attended Arch-bishop Moeller High School.

Erdmann said that he was in-spired to create the group whenhe was working as a U.S. De-partment of Defense contractorin Kosovo. While there, he didvolunteer work providing med-ical assistance to children. Henoticed not only his own willing-ness and eagerness to volunteerbut that of other contractorswho all, like him, were veterans.

The idea for CROS was born

in April, and by June Erdmannhad certification for CROS. Cur-rently he’s waiting for the 501(c)(3).

Tim Erdmann is Chris’ dad,CROS vice president, and aMoeller teacher of 28 years. He

said that he’s not surprised byhis son’s efforts. Service to oth-ers is a key principle empha-sized at Moeller, he said. It’s alsosomething he and his wife, Di-ana, supported in their Ander-son Township home.

In his junior year, Erdmansaid that his son was part of aMoeller service trip to CentralAmerica/Honduras rebuildingan orphanage and working inthe local hospital. After gradua-tion, he went on to the U.S. Coast

Guard, then the United StatesAir Force before taking a job asa security contractor for theDepartment of Defense. It wasas a security contractor in Bos-nia and Kosovo he began help-ing innocent victims of war, TimErdmann said.

“As a Christian and believer,he’s living his faith,” he said ofhis son adding how proud he isof him.

In just a few short months,CROS has achieved much butthere’s much more to do, ChrisErdmann said. CROS is operat-ing a medical project in Mafraq,Jordan, providing the only med-ical services available to over40 families who have fled thefighting in Syria, he said.

CROS is working with achurch from Israel and one ofits members, pediatrician Dr.Ashraf Goussous.

“The majority of our patientsare children, Erdmann said.“What we do, it’s home-basedmedical care rather than clinic.It’s home-based and holistic. Wedon’t just care for their wounds,we also help them mentally.Many have traumatic stress.”

This is something the veter-ans who are volunteering theirservices can relate to, he said.One of those veterans is para-medic Carlo Hodil from Geor-gia.

In past years, each sev-enth-grader made onebowl. This year each stu-dent made two, art teach-er Liz Rossi said.

“That’s about 200bowls. Last year we actu-ally ran out,” she said. “Soeach student made twobowls knowing that theywere making the bowlsfor guests at the dinner.”

The suggested dinnercost is $5 per person and$10 per family. With thecost of admission, guestsreceive a handmade ce-ramic bowl and a simplemeal of soup generouslyprovided by La Soupefrom Newtown and otherdishes donated by fam-

ilies. The cost of the ad-mission ticket goes to-wards the fight againsthunger, homelessness andpoverty within the Cincin-nati community.

The students agreedthat the project was aneye-opening experience.

“There’s so much outthere that I didn’t knowabout,” student MickMattson said. “Becausewe’re stuck in like this

Madeira bubble, that’swhat we call it. Our townis so small compared tothe rest of the worldwhich is so big. We don’trealize what’s going oneven though it’s an impor-tant issue.”

The students said thatthey feel a greater aware-ness about homelessness,poverty and hunger andare familiar with ways tohelp.

This year holiday shop-pers visiting SycamoreTownship and KenwoodTowne Centre will findmany traffic changes alldesigned to make gettingin and out of the area easi-er, especially during hightraffic times.

“We have an obligationto the shopping visitorswho come to Sycamore,and we also have an obli-gation to our residentsand to those people whocall Kenwood their busi-ness home,” SycamoreTownship Board of Trust-ees Member Tom Weid-man said. “We have tomake sure that we canmove those people, notjust the visitors but ev-erybody. We’ve been com-mitted to this for quitesome time.”

To this end, the trust-ees, Kenwood Towne Cen-tre, the Ohio Departmentof Transportation andHamilton County haveworked collaboratively toprovide significant roadand traffic light improve-ments to the area.

During a typical busi-ness day there are about30,000 vehicles that passthrough the two mile areathat makes up Kenwood,according to SycamoreTownship AdministratorGreg Bickford. Duringthe holiday season, thatnumber increases toabout 100,000 vehicles aday.

“So we have a lot oftraffic in this area and ourgoal is to move it,” he said.

In the last five yearsthe township has workedwith ODOT to coordinatetraffic lights so that theycan be timed and adjustedto alleviate traffic back-ups, Bickford said. Fouryears ago the townshipstarted with a police offi-cer on the ground whoworked to adjust thelights. Last year, the town-ship added cameras tomonitor traffic flow. Thisyear additional cameraswere added. The townshipcontracts with TEC Engi-neering Inc. to monitorthe cameras and maketraffic light timing ad-justments as needed tokeep traffic flowing.

The cameras do notrecord or track red lightsor traffic plates, they sim-ply monitor traffic flow,Bickford said.

Over the past decadethe area has also receivedmany road improve-ments. ODOT doubled thecapacity of the on ramps

from Interstate 71 toMontgomery Road andadded lanes to the over-pass increasing its capac-ity, Bickford said. Thetownship widened Mont-gomery Road in the area.

To keep traffic flowingin and out of KenwoodTowne Centre, a new asplit phase traffic lightwas installed at the TowneCentre and McDonald’sentrances off of Montgo-mery Road, Bickfordsaid. Now the Towne Cen-tre traffic exits all at onetime, and then McDon-alds.

A dedicated right-handturn lane was added to thesouthbound ramp fromI-71. The dedicated lanetakes shoppers directly tothe mall entrance on theDillard’s end off of Mont-gomery Road. Two lanesfrom northbound I-71ramp are open for motor-ists turning left towardthe Towne Centre. And onGalbraith Road, the roadwas widened to include anadditional lane to improveaccess to MontgomeryRoad and to I-71.

“We’re totally commit-ted to making Kenwoodan easy place to get in andout of and providing agreat shopping experi-ence during the holidays,”Weidman said. “I thinkwe’ve done a great job ofthat.”

Kenwood Towne Cen-tre General ManagerWanda Wagner said thatKenwood Towne Centrehas also made changes.

“It’s a coordinated ef-fort to make sure thatonce they get the traffic inhere we can move it,” shesaid. “So we’re makinglots of changes to the traf-fic flow within the park-ing lot itself.”

For shoppers exitingInterstate-71 to enterwhat most consider theTowne Centre’s main en-trance off of MontgomeryRoad, the entrance near-est to Dillard’s, there willbe two lanes of traffic be-ing directed to the right,Wagner said. The twolanes will take guests to-ward the back of the mall.Guests hoping to park inthe parking area frontingMontgomery Road willneed to use the entrancenear Nordstrom.

The Towne Centre isworking to update its web-site with parking sugges-tions and tips. These canbe found at www.kenwoodtownecentre.com.

The new mall trafficpatterns should providean improved customer ex-perience, Wagner said.

Days before its 40thanniversary celebration,the owners and others atThe Book Shelf in Madei-ra were busy loadingboxes of books into cars.

“They are all headingout to a book fair,” part-owner Besty Schramsaid.

Other part-ownersJacque Gentile and Jen-ny Margo weavedthrough displays ofbooks and customers outto the front of CamargoStation. Fourth part-owner Chris Weber wasat the counter, listingsuggestions for a custom-er.

The bookstore wasopened in 1975 by AnneHarrison, Blair Garveyand Gen. Rosenkrantzand is an original tenantof Camargo Station, 7754Camargo Road.

The store’s 40th anni-versary celebration Sat-urday, Oct. 24, had fivelocal authors signingtheir latest publicationsat the store. The authorsincluded children’s au-thor and illustrator WillHillenbrand, children’sauthor Louise Borden,author Shannon Carter,novelist Leah Stewartand photographer andauthor Ken Williamson.

“I was a photographerin Vietnam in 1969 withthe Army Engineers andI traveled the entirecountry of South Vietnamfor them and document-ing what every engineerwas doing. And I had atremendous collection ofphotographs from that

time that I didn’t do forthe military of the coun-try and the people I met,”Williamson said.

Williamson, of Amber-ley Village, saved all thephotos and discoveredhis wife had saved alltheir letters. He put themtogether for his book.Williamson said hestopped by The BookShelf shortly after heself-published “SayingGoodbye to Vietnam” andthey agreed to handle it.

In addition to support-ing local authors, TheBook Shelf works withMadeira City Schools,Indian Hill ExemptedVillage Schools, Syca-more CommunitySchools and Mariemont

City Schools for bookfairs, author events andreading events, Schram

said. The store also of-fers 15 percent off forteachers.

The Book Shelf hashad 17 owners since 1975.Schram said when anowner wants to retire,they sell their share tosomeone else. Schramhad been a parent volun-teer at the book fairsbefore she was asked tobe an owner. Gentile hadbeen a teacher in Madei-ra for 30 years andhelped at the store onholidays. Margo was abook club member andvolunteer.

“At a soccer game,”Weber said when asked

how she got involved.Weber, who was planningto get her master’s de-gree in library science,was at one of her eightchildren’s soccer gameswhen a former ownermentioned she was look-ing to sell her share andshe jumped at the oppor-tunity.

Weber said the storeand its success is about alove of books. The storedelivers merchandise tohome-bound customers,locates out-of-printbooks, fills special ordersand offers free gift-wrap.

“When Barnes andNoble closed about two

years ago, we started tosee a much broader cli-entele and have enjoyedgreater diversity,”Schram said.

She added the storehas also expanded itstoys and games sectionsince Ted’s Toy Storeclosed in March.

The Book Shelf is openfrom 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Mon-days through Fridays, 10a.m.-5 p.m. Saturdaysand 1-5 p.m. Sundays.Purchases can also bemade through , www.cincybookshelf.com.

As far as some IndianHill High School studentsare concerned, vinyl stillrocks.

The school’s Vinyl Clubhas been spinning discsfor about six years. Re-cently participants in theclub have been deejayingat various events thanksto a donation by the IndianHill Boosters that allowedthe club to buy a profes-sional mobile deejay set-up.

“The student’s enthusi-asm is what is drivingthis,” said Indian HillHigh School Englishteacher Tom Millard, whois also the club sponsor.

Millard said the club isessentially “a record ap-preciation society.”

The group meets oncea week on Thursday andalso has various field tripsto local record stores.

Students sign up for aspecific week duringwhich they have control

of the turntable. Accord-ing to Millard, the selec-tion of songs is as diverseas the vinyl recordingsthe students bring to themeetings.

“Many (of the clubmembers) are alreadypassionate about musicbut the vinyl aspect addsan extra layer of cool,”said junior Frank Cassidy,who has been part of theVinyl Club for threeyears. “When you pop on aclassic band like Led Zep-pelin, eyes light up aroundthe room.”

Millard, who himself isa vinyl enthusiast, said heis not surprised by thecurrent popularity of vi-nyl recordings. He saidstudents are initially at-tracted by the novelty fac-tor but that it isn’t long be-fore they begin to appre-ciate what he calls a “rich-er experience” whilelistening to a recording.

Millard said a recentNew York Times articlesaid 54 percent of vinylcustomers are 35 or

younger.Additionally, he said in

2014, more than 13 millionrecords were sold, thehighest in 25 years.

Involvement in the Vi-nyl Club has continued togrow as well. When it firstbegan the club had half adozen members. It nowhas from 60 to 70.

The students are nowtaking their passion forvinyl beyond the class-room.

With the mobile deejaysetup in hand, club mem-bers have started show-casing their record selec-tions at tailgating partiesand sporting events aswell as at a Boosters cook-out.

“We’re very eager toget ourselves out into thereal world,” said juniorKarthik Raturi.

Millard said guests arewelcome to join the stu-dents on their field trips tothe record stores. If inter-ested, contact him viaemail at [email protected].

Mercy Montessori School

» Preschool students at MercyMontessori celebrated their annualThanksgiving Feast Nov. 20.

In the weeks leading up to theevent, all four primary classes spenttime learning about the Pilgrims,Wampanoag Indians, and what itmeans to be thankful. In addition, theyenjoyed a field trip to Imago EarthCenter where they learned about Na-tive American life and also preparedfood in their classrooms includingapplesauce, butter, and corn muffinsbaked in the classroom oven.

On the day of the ThanksgivingFeast, students brought a favoritedish to share, dressed in Pilgrim andNative American costumes, andshared what they are thankful for.Students remarked that they werethankful for, “my family, “my dog,”“this food,” and “my classmate, Will.”

“The feast is an event that our stu-dents and staff look forward to everyyear,” Preschool directress YvonneReissig said. “Our students experi-ence the spirit of Thanksgiving andshare it with their friends and fam-ilies outside of school.”

Moeller High School

» Seventeen years ago DanLeugers, class of 1977, began theschool’s first canned food drive.That year 65 boxes of food werecollected. This year 1,200 boxes,totaling close to $30,000 will bedonated to St. Vincent DePaul Soci-ety and St. George Food Pantry.Each box of food will feed a familyof four for two days.

“For the St. George Food Pantrythe need is great. These donationswill stock their shelves untilspring. If we did not donate to St.George it would be a huge devas-tation because they rely so heavilyon this donation” Leugers said.

For many people in our commu-nity, hunger and food insecurityare a difficult reality. Thousands ofadults, children and seniors in ourcommunities are struggling withhunger every day. Food insecurityrefers to the availability of foodand access to it. Those who areconsidered food insecure do notknow when they will have theirnext meal. Many in low or fixedincome situations are food inse-

cure, often forced to choose be-tween buying food or paying forrent and utilities. The increasingcost of living coupled with thedownturn in the economy hasforced a growing numbers of themiddle class to utilize emergencyfood assistance.

Leugers watches on as the SVDPtrucks are being loaded.

“Each year we send out a list ofdonation items and then the dona-tions pour in. We are so blessed tobe able to help and this is definitelya good thing!”

Moeller’s canned food drivetakes place every November.

“Thanksgiving is a wonderfultime for each of us to help thoseless fortunate as a sign of our grat-itude for all the many blessings weenjoy,” Principal Blane Collisonsaid. “Thanks to all those who gaveso generously to our annual cannedfood drive to help those in need ofassistance. Your contribution willgo a long way in serving the Cincin-nati community and assisting fam-ilies in need of our help.”

An ounce of prevention is worth a poundof cure. Especially when it comes to leav-ening baked goods during this super busyholiday season.

That’s why I’m reminding you again tocheck your leavening agents. For bakingpowder, stir a teaspoon or so into 1/4 cupwarm water. It should fizz up right away. Ifnot, toss it.

To test leavening power in baking soda,stir a teaspoon or so into 1/4 cup of vinegaror lemon juice. It should also fizz up rightaway.

Stir a packet of yeast in very warm water witha pinch of sugar to feed it. If it’s good, it will bub-ble/foam after a few minutes. I store my yeast inthe freezer for longer shelf life.

Readers want to knowWhat’s that white coating or speckling on my

chocolate?The whitish layer/speckling is what is known as

“chocolate bloom.” There are two types: fat andsugar bloom.

Fat bloom is caused when chocolate is exposed

to high temperatures and then allowed toreset, or is not tempered properly. Thecocoa butter melts and separates, thenrises to the surface creating a whitish“bloom.”

Sugar/speckled bloomChocolate looks speckled rather than

whitish. Caused by an excess of moisturethat makes the sugar crystallize.

Store in cool place to avoid bloom.

Using bloomed chocolateYes, it’s safe. It may not have the “snap” and

silky-smooth texture of tempered chocolate, butthe flavor is still good.

Difference between bitter, bittersweet,semisweet, milk and white chocolate.

Savory, sweet bacon, coffee cake for brunch

Savory and sweet bacon for brunch

This is a good recipe for brunch since it’s yummy warm or roomtemperature. The cayenne gives it punch; the sugar lends a mellowsweetness. Use high quality, thick cut bacon for best results.

1 pound thick cut bacon

Mix:

1/4 cup brown sugar, packedScant 1/2 teaspoon ea. cayenne and black pepper

Preheat oven to 350. Lay bacon in single layer on sprayed sheet.Rub a bit less than half the sugar mixture on top. Bake in mid-

dle of oven about 15-20 minutes. Turn over and sprinkle with rest ofmixture. Bake until crisp, about 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Lois Boekley’s Crumb Coffee Cake

Brunch is a popular way to entertain during the holidays.Here’s a recipe from reader Lois Boekley, who treasures her family’sgenerational recipes. Lois said: “I got the recipe from my grand-mother many years ago, and tweaked it to make it my own. I haveshared this cake with many people over the years to welcome newneighbors, for potlucks, and for friends who are under the weath-er.” Lois’ tip on not over mixing the batter results in a more tender,nice textured, cake.

3 -1/3 cups all purpose flour2-1/4 cups sugar1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon1/2 teaspoon nutmegPinch salt18 tablespoons salted butter or margarine1 cup buttermilk1 teaspoon baking soda2 eggs

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch roundor two 8-inch square pans or one 13 X 9-inch pan.

Combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.Using a pastry blender cut in the butter or margarine. (This

can also be done in batches in a food processor.)Remove 2 cups of the mixture and set aside.Stir the baking soda into the buttermilk. Immediately add the

buttermilk mixture and the eggs to the remaining crumb mixture.Mix only until the mixture is evenly moistened; do not over mix.The batter will be lumpy.

Transfer the batter into the prepared pan(s). Sprinkle with thereserved crumb mixture.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean,about 25 to 30 minutes for the 8- or 9-inch cakes or 30 to 35 min-utes for the 13 X 9-inch cake. Cool on a wire rack.

Note: This cake is best served warm. Reheat individual por-tions in the microwave oven.

Recently, the city was jolt-ed by statistics that the per-centage of African Americanstudents, faculty, and adminis-trators at the University ofCincinnati has been decliningat the University of Cincin-nati. These are followed byprotests at the University ofMissouri.

The deeper and more ex-pansive question then is whatis happening to equal opportu-nity in education at our uni-versities, and more specifi-cally where is affirmativeaction going in our nation?

When I was in the first yearof law school in 1978, the buzzon campus was University ofCalifornia v. Bakke.

Allan Bakke was not the

first person tochallenge af-firmative actionand will not bethe last. Indeed,California,Michigan andWashingtonhave amendedtheir state con-stitutions to banthe practice of

affirmative action. At thismoment, there is a coordinat-ed political movement to onceand for all end affirmativeaction through court cases. Itshould be no surprise thatFisher v. University of Texasis back before the UnitedStates Supreme Court for thesecond time.

I follow with enthusiasmand distress in equal measureof the fact that a number ofAsian American groups arejoining Abigail Fisher in hereffort to get the High Court tostrike down affirmative ac-tion. A reason is that statisticsshow that many Asian Amer-icans with perfect academicnumerical scores have beenrejected by the top universi-ties and they blame their mis-fortune on affirmative action.The irony and tragedy is thatsimultaneously the percent-age representation of AfricanAmericans is still lagging as isthe case at the University ofCincinnati.

In the face of hard statis-tical data, will Fisher prevail

this time? A question worthyof the difficulty of a GordianKnot. Some people are con-vinced that the time has comefor affirmative action.

But wait - my suggestion toall universities which use ahigher admission standardagainst Asian American andwhose other minority enroll-ment still lags is for the uni-versity to (1) use strict quanti-tative performance admissionwhen admitting high schoolgraduates in the top half ofthe academic bell curve, and(2) retain affirmative actionas we know it in the other halfof the curve. This is called theTao of Splitting the Bell intoTwo Equal Halves.

Wise as King Solomon was,

he did not get the chance todivide a baby into two, but theacademic curve of collegeapplicants is something dif-ferent!

This Gaussian bell, ofcourse, has for the abscissa,the quantitative score of ap-plicants for the first yearclass and the ordinate givesthe number of persons with acertain score. With the strokeof the pen, this bell can bedivided into two parts fairlydown the distribution median!Problem solved because itappears of me that the work ofaffirmative action is not yetcomplete.

“We cannot afford to reducetaxes, reduce income, until wehave in sight a program of ex-penditure that shows that thefactors of income and outgo willbe balanced.” - Dwight DavidEisenhower.

President Eisenhower wasthe Republican version of aDemocratic Socialist (BernieSanders now holds that title).His greatest achievement wasthe very Socialistic InterstateHighway System, the largestpublic works project in thehistory of the world. I havegreatly enjoyed 1.75 million-plus miles of travel on thosetrails. The interstates havebeen a huge asset for busi-nesses large and small.

Gen. Eisenhower was Su-preme Allied Commanderduring WWII. He was the lastgeneral to win a war. He ex-panded Social Security andpassed the Civil Rights Act of1957. Departing office, hewarned us of the military-industrial complex.

I lived with my parentsduring the early ‘50s; theywere very good times. Mypart-time minimum wage jobpaid more than enough to cov-er all of my expenses (car,fuel, insurance, repairs, food,entertainment, dating and

small gifts). Youcould earnenough duringthe summerworking a con-struction job, topay for yourcollege ex-penses the com-ing year. Therewere no studentloans. Perhapswe should seri-ously consider

returning to the economicstructures of the ‘50s.

How very far we have fallensince the great men of myyouth. Those holding positionsof power today are filled witha self-righteous sense thattheir “God-given” beliefs arethe only correct beliefs, theirideas are the only correctideas and none of them willwork to solve our nation’sproblems within a frameworkof mutual respect and coopera-tion with the heathens on the“other side.”

They are the “New Puri-tans.” They believe that theywere put on this earth to foisttheir beliefs on you. You arethe sinner. Your ideas are thebane of society and the causefor the destruction of theseUnited States. Poppycock.

Trump is correct when hestates that “very stupid peo-ple” lead us; however, Trump’stax proposal is not a “tax cutfor the middle class.” He elim-inates most of the deductions;so, it is an increase for themiddle class, and a reductionfor the 1 percent. The net ef-fect of his tax proposal will bean income shortfall, which willadd to the debt. The last largetax cuts were made during atime of great taxable activityin the stock market. That is nolonger the case. Taxes must beraised to cover the costs of acivilized society. Yes, thismeans that if we don’t, we areuncivilized.

What would “Ike” thinkabout today’s presidential can-didates? Four Republican can-didates believe that it is properfor a 10-year-old girl to beforced to carry a rape baby toterm, and be forced to givebirth. Two believe that women,who wish to give up childrenfor adoption, should publishtheir sex histories in a majornewspaper.

Nov. 25 questionWould you feel safe traveling to Europe in light of the

Paris attacks? What would it take to make you feel safethere?

“Had this question been asked even two years ago myanswer would have been a simple ‘sure.’ However, in lightof the ever-increasing audacity of radical Islamist groups(yes Obama, you should use that label), I would be ex-tremely uncomfortable traveling in Europe with that alltoo identifiable dark blue passport. It is a shame that somany innocents have been killed in such violent manners.It is a shame that it takes events with the magnitude of 9/11or Paris or London trains or US embassies or hotels inMali to wake more of the world up to the ever-increasingthreat radical Islamists insist is good religion. It is ashame that we can’t all just learn to get along with eachother. It will be a real shame if we end up next Novemberwith another weak sympathizer living at 1600 Pennsylva-nia. Let us hope an pray for real leadership to guide usthrough and beyond the terrorism quagmire.”

“I would not feel safe traveling to Europe or for thatmatter any other foreign country except Canada. I havefelt this way since 9/11 and these terrorist attacks such asParis reconfirm my fears. Europe is being over run withrefugees from the Middle East. Odd how so many aretrying to get out of these Muslim countries; yet they arenot headed to Dubai or Qatar. Go Figure!”

Acromioclavicular, or AC,sprain is also called a shoulderseparation. It occurs whenthere is trauma/injury to oneof the ligaments that holds theclavicle (collarbone) to thescapula (shoulder blade).

At Cincinnati Children’s,physicians and athletic train-ers with the Sports Medicineteam see this injury mostoften from a blow to the pointof the shoulder or from a fall.

Signs of shoulder sep-aration

» pain when injury occurs;» impaired movement of

the shoulder - especially any

overhead mo-tions;

» swelling;» bruising;» point ten-

derness over theAC joint (top ofthe shoulder);

» possibledeformity – itmay appear thatthe end of yourcollarbone issticking up

higher.The first step in a diagnosis

is obtaining a medical history.The physician or athletic

trainer asks how the injuryoccurred and the symptoms.The physician or athletictrainer feels the bones and thearea around the shoulder andsees how it compares to yourhealthy shoulder.

Classifications of shoul-der separation

AC separations are classi-fied by grade.

Grade 1 is the most com-mon type of AC injury andmeans there is a small tear tothe acromioclavicular liga-ment.

Grade 2 results from acomplete tear of the acromio-

clavicular ligament. The cora-coclavicular ligaments maybe slightly torn but overallintact. With a Grade 2 injuryyou may start to see the end ofthe collarbone is slightlyraised.

Grade 3 is the most severewhere both the acromioclavic-ular and coracoclavicularligaments are torn. You willsee a bump on the shoulder asthe end of the collar-bone is nolonger held in place.

TreatmentIn most cases, this injury is

treated conservatively andwithout surgery.

Ice should be applied tohelp reduce pain and swelling.The shoulder will usually beimmobilized in a sling initia-lly.

Once pain has begun tosubside, rehabilitation exer-cises can be started to restorestrength and motion to theshoulder. Return to activitymay range from two weeks(grade 1) to upwards of 12weeks (grade 3).

Although Madeira failed toqualify any girls to the stateswim meet last season, theAmazons still had a great year,and it looks like they could bein for another.

Third-year coach Chip Dob-son said most of his team re-turns, “we only graduated acouple, we’re hopeful they’ll dowell.”

Last season, the Amazonsqualified their relays and oneindividual to the district meet.

Senior Marissa Moore qual-ified to the district meet in the500 freestyle and she’s backthis year with her sights set onthe state meet.

Dobson said freshman Em-ma Fortman has erupted ontothe scene. Dobson added, Fort-man, whose brother is a seniorreturning state qualifier atMadeira, is a “superstar” andhe’s hopeful she’s fast enoughto swim at state.

Freshman Izzy Evans isanother young gun. Dobsonsaid Evans is versatile andshe’ll help tremendously in therelays.

“I think our relays will bebetter than last year,” saidDobson, “I’m excited; it’s anice crop of girls, they’reworking hard … hopefully wecan make a little noise.”

Indian Hill returns statemeet experience on the girlsside, led by Ohio State commit

Devin Landstra. She placed third in the 50

yard freestyle and sixth in the100 yard backstroke at state asa junior. Elizabeth Drerupplaced fifth in the 100 yardbackstroke.

Teammates Avery Pearsonand Bridget Pavlick also com-peted at state last year in relayevents with Landstra and Dre-rup. They, along with MaryKate Jutze, aim to qualify inindividual events this year.

Mount Notre Dame is ledby Graci Doll, Corinne Her-witz, Amanda Puthoff, AnnieKruspe, and Kate Van DenBrink.

Moeller finished second in the statelast year, behind only Greater CatholicLeague rival St. Xavier.

The Crusaders return all but twomembers of that Division I state run-ner-up team. Jacob Peloquin placedfifth in the state in the 100-yard butter-fly and seventh in the 100-yard back-stroke.

Cooper Hodge finished fifth in the200-yard individual medley. Both areback for their senior season. SeniorDan Nyberg and juniors Austin Theo-bald and Will McCullough also return.

Peloquin, a Miami University com-mit, and Hodge, a University of Wiscon-sin commit, will anchor the Crusaders’relay teams. Expectations will be highfor this team in 2015-2016.

Looking at the list of swimmersMadeira graduated back in the spring,the uneducated might think the Mus-tangs are in for a rough year. At anoth-er program, losing guys like Jack Mant-kowski, the Cincinnati Hills Leagueswimmer of the year last season, andRyan Stevenson and Nick Theis wouldmean a long season.

But, Madeira will reload this yearwith another core group of experiencedswimmers and some impressive new-comers who should make another tripto the state meet a reality this winter.Madeira finished seventh in the state asa team last season at the Division IIstate meet.

Back for the Mustangs are seniorAlex Fortman, sophomore Chet Dobsonand junior Braden Kane. Fortman andDobson both made impacts at state.Fortman, who coach Chip Dobson saiddoes a lot of different things reallywell, placed seventh at state in 100butterfly and contributed on all threerelays at state. As a freshman, ChetDobson, Chip’s son, swam a leg on allthree state relays. Kane was the statealternate and also a district qualifier in50 freestyle.

Madeira also added junior JacobWaters, who moved back home to Ma-deira, said Dobson, who added that

Waters is “real fast and very versatile.” Dobson likes that his team has “a lot

of experience; I think Chet’s better(than he was last year), Alex is better,Braden is better and then Jacob Watersis a great replacement for some of theseniors we graduated in terms of hisability.”

Dobson is hopeful those four canmakeup the relay teams, and be “as fastas last year if not better,” said Chip.

Junior Peter Nelson and senior TylerQuante, a district qualifier last season,will give the Mustangs depth and deepscoring power.

Indian Hill’s boys team is young, ledby sophomores Max Eihausen and SamOkum. Both earned honorable mention

all-conference recognition as freshmen. “Our team is very small, with many

new members, so it’s somewhat of arebuilding year for our team,” saidcoach Emily Hardy.

Diver Noah Vigran qualified forstate and placed sixth last year as afreshman. That finish motivated him towork even harder in the offseason, saidhis diving coach Ray Noble. Other Indi-an Hill divers include sophomores An-nie Garrettson and Violet Robertsonand freshmen Lexi Magenhiem andMakenna Hack.

St. Xavier High School’s swim teamhas, for a long time, held the state podi-um in a stranglehold. The Bombershave cultivated and sustained one of

the most impressive programs the areahas ever seen.

Last season, St. Xavier won its sev-enth consecutive Division I state cham-pionship (36th all-time) and the Bomb-

a deeper and more experi-enced squad in coach PeteWagner’s second season atMND. That depth is bolsteredby the addition of some swim-mers who returned to the sportto compete for the varsityteam after taking some timeoff from competition.

“This team is well-roundedand comprised of swimmersthat are committed to the sportand not afraid to work hard,”said Wagner. Grace Menkeearned diver of the year hon-ors in the GGCL last year as afreshman.

St. Ursula, with its youngtalent and roster laden withstate swimmers, is expected tobe one of the city’s best againthis season.

However, the Bulldogsaren’t the only GGCL teamwith talented youngsters whoearned state experience. Thegirls off Pfeiffer Road mighthave something to say aboutthat.

Ursuline, like its rival, sentnumerous swimmers to Can-ton’s waters.

Julia Moran advanced in the100 and 200 freestyle races.Rollie Grinder joined her inthe 200 and swam the 500 free-style along with Christine VanKirk.

Caroline Blood representedthe Lions in the 100 backstrokeand Laura Morris swam the100 breaststroke.

All five can come back thisseason and help Ursuline com-pete for its third Division Igirls state title in four years.

A newish era begins forCincinnati Country Day asJana Westhoven takes over theprogram from former headcoach Benson Spurling. Sheserved as the top assistant lastyear.

According to her brief bioon the school’s athletic web-site, the coach is looking toensure the transition is seam-less and that a changing of theguard doesn’t signify a changein success.

To do so, someone needs tostep in and fill Allie Wooden’sspot as that top swimmer.

Last season, Wooden wonstate titles in the 100 and 200freestyle races, turning intimes of 49.43 seconds in the100 free and 1:46.96, breakingher old record in the 200 free-style. She was named femaleswimmer of the meet andnamed Miami Valley Confer-ence girls swimmer of theyear.

She currently swims atSouthern California.

Potential candidates to bethe it-girl include Jenna Ma-crae, Holly Jacobs and SophieHudson.

The Bombers also rotatedthe coaching carousel thisyear. Longtime head coach JimBrower moved from the headposition to an assistant, to makeway for former assistant TimBeerman to take over as headcoach. Beerman was previouslya head coach at Ursuline Acad-emy.

“It’s worth mentioning thatthis team is 100 members strongand while we certainly can pointto some of our tops swimmers atthe state level,” Beerman said,“the focus of the team is reallyabout helping everyone discov-er and reach the potential theyhave.”

Junior Grant House is with-out question the fastest swim-mer in state. House has alreadywon four individual state cham-pionships (two as a freshman,two as a sophomore), and he’shelped on a number of statechampionship relay teams. Lastyear, he won the 100 and 200freestyle races at state.

Senior Matt Slabe, also an in-dividual state qualifier, swamon the 400 freestyle relay teamthat won a state title last year.Junior Luke Sobolewski’s an-other experienced swimmerwho won a state title on the 200medley relay last year.

Sopho-more Justin Grender was anoth-er difference maker at state lastyear, as was sophomore Nicho-las Perera.

Beerman has also been veryimpressed by freshman JakeFoster.

“They’re just now learninghow good they can really be,”said Beerman. “Their effortlevel is off the charts in terms ofwhat we’re asking of them. It isa talented team, but we’re excit-ed to see how far that talent cantake us as a team. We certainlyhope with good health and goodtraining that we can return tostate and do well. There are anynumber of individuals (outsideof the swimmers mentionedabove) on this team who cancontribute to our success.”

Their schedule is so jam-packed that during a recentthree-week stay in Florida,they missed 52 sportingevents.

Such is the life of Charleyand Loraine Wolf, grandpar-ents of 19 and parents of six ofthe most athletically-blessedsons in Greater Cincinnati his-tory. As the grandchildrengrow and develop, the Wolfname continues to rack up tro-phies and notoriety.

Charley Wolf is not your or-dinary grandfather. Most menat 89 years old don’t walk at hispace, let alone play tennisthree times a week. On his “offdays,” he still hits balls alone.

The legend beginsBack in the day, Charley

Wolf coached the NBA Cincin-nati Royals from 1960-63, thenthe Detroit Pistons until 1966.Along the way, Charley and Lo-raine had six sons: Marty,Steve, Greg, Jeff, Daniel andDavid.

Prior to that, Wolf playedfootball, basketball and base-ball at St. Xavier, then laterplayed at Notre Dame andsome pro baseball in the Redsorganization.

“I started out at NewportCatholic and they didn’t havesports,” he said. “I switchedover to St. X for two years andthen went in the service rightout of high school.”

After a U.S. Navy stint, Wolfwas reunited with his highschool quarterback, GeorgeRatterman, at Notre Dame. Inthe early ‘40s, as noted in apiece by the Enquirer’s TomGroeschen in 2003, Rattermanand Wolf played a part in theevolution of St. Xavier’s nick-name.

They were once the Con-querors, but thanks to Ratter-man’s missiles to his lanky re-ceiver, the school became theBombers. Later, all six Wolfboys became Bombers.

Early influencesCharley and Loraine’s boys

were all athletically successfulin basketball. Marty played atXavier under Tay Baker; Stevewent to North Carolina State,then transferred back to Xavi-er; Greg played at Spring Hill(Alabama); and Jeff, Danieland David all played at RollinsCollege in Florida.

The Wolfs benefited fromhaving a mother who pushedthem outside and a father whobrought them in contact withsome of the finest basketballplayers in the world. Charleycoached the legendary OscarRobertson and it wasn’t unusu-al for NBA players to join thefamily for dinner.

“They would all come overto the house when we wereyoung and shoot around,” JeffWolf said. “I didn’t know whothey were.”

K.C. Jones, Sam Jones andBob Cousy from the Celticsvisited once. Another time,shooter Tom Van Arsdale cameby with some Royals and ayoung Greg Wolf showed hisinnocence and curiosity byasking, “Which one of you isthe gunner?”

The brushes with greatnesseventually paid off for the boyswho all went on to become cap-tains at St. Xavier High School.

“I used to go shoot at theFenwick Club with AdrianSmith (former Kentucky Wild-cat/Cincinnati Royal),” SteveWolf said. “He was the MVP ofthe ‘67 All-Star Game. Mybrother Marty was a greatshooter and passed it on downto everyone.”

As Charley Wolf explains,Marty would work with Steve,then Greg would have Steve

and Marty working with him.With each boy, there was thesame passing of knowledgeand each would try to emulatewhat their older siblings hadaccomplished.

Naturally, basketball is asport that comes second na-ture to a Wolf. Marty Wolf’ssons Martin, Johnny and Nickall had stellar careers at St. Xa-vier and went on to play in col-lege. Martin played at Hano-ver, Johnny was at Xavier andUNC-Wilmington and Nickwas a Division II All-Americanat Rollins, where he broke ev-ery record his uncles achievedat the Florida school. Their old-er sister, Kristen Wolf Kro-nauge, played tennis at Syca-more and Xavier.

From one net to anotherTennis is where the Wolfs

really have a dynasty and allgoes back to a couple of ear in-fections. When Charley Wolfwould speak at the old Fenwickclub downtown, he never tookmoney. However, the facilitydid offer up swimming lessonsfor his boys.

When Marty and Steve’s earissues kept them out of thepool, tennis was served as anoption. Wolf jumped at thechance to cross-train his sonswith lateral movement. At age44, Charley Wolf began hittingtennis balls with his sons andhe hasn’t stopped since.

Marty went on to eventuallyfocus more on tennis than bas-ketball at Xavier and won fiveCincinnati Metropolitan tour-naments. That record was lat-er broken by his youngerbrother, Jeff, who won six.

“I worked with him,” MartyWolf said. “Let’s face it. If Ididn’t have five, he wouldn’thave had six. He was shootingfor it the whole time. He was 10years younger and that was agoal of his.”

Jeff is the father of DanielleWolf, who now plays at Indi-ana, and J.J. Wolf, who playedat Cincinnati Country Day.

As high school freshmen,both made the state finals. J.J.does not participate in highschool tennis now because ofhis U.S. Tennis Associationranking. He is home schooledand is playing the best of thebest.

J.J. Wolf has recentlyplayed kids from Italy, Chinaand Hungary. He also playedlast year’s state champion,

Asher Hirsch, and won. UncleMarty Wolf boasts that J.J. isalready better as a teenagerthan he was in his prime.

“It’s been really fun watch-ing my nephews and nieces,”Marty Wolf said. “Greg’s kidswere Players of the Year in thestate in volleyball and thenthere’s J.J. (Jeff’s son).”

Greg Wolf’s oldest daugh-ter, Andrea, was also a Playerof the Year in tennis for MNDand played at Xavier.

A higher netVolleyball is a sport Charley

Wolf doesn’t totally under-stand, but enjoys watching.Whatever the competition is,the patriarch is usually in thestands.

“He said he went to 19events one week,” Dan Wolfsaid.

The fifth of six, Dan’s son,Alex, plays golf and basketballat St. Xavier and freshman Sa-mantha plays volleyball atMount Notre Dame.

The Wolf volleyball legendat MND is growing and beganwith Greg Wolf’s daughters,Kelsey and Margo. The pairplayed together on MND’s 2011state championship team withKelsey moving on to Kentuckyand Margo going to Dayton.

Steve Wolf’s daughter, Sa-brina, was on last year’s statetitle team and is an early com-mit to the University of Cincin-nati. Younger sister, Steviejoins the fray next year as thebrothers see their childrenshare the floor.

Of the brothers, Jeff andDan were the only to play to-gether, pairing up at Rollins.

Family obligationsOn the football field, Steve’s

son, Chase, is a sophomorequarterback. Chase is in line tosling “bombs” for the St. Xavi-er team his grandfather helpedname.

The elder Wolf doesn’twatch the Reds or Bengals.Most of the time, the familyfinds a seat in venues they’veprobably sat in hundreds oftimes to watch someone with“Wolf” on their back. It’s a re-peatable pattern.

“It’s something that keepsme busy; it helps,” CharleyWolf said. “It’s a way of con-necting with them. A lot oftimes grandparents have trou-ble connecting with theirgrandchildren.”

Neediest Kids of All is a non-profit corporation now in its 63rd year. Its principal place of business is Cincinnati, and it is registeredwith the Ohio Attorney General as a charitable trust. Contributions are deductible in accordance with applicable tax laws.

The continued theft of personalinformation by identity thieves hasled the Internal Revenue Service toput in place tougher safeguards forthe 2016 tax filing season.

IRS Commissioner John Koskinensays, “We need the public’s help. Weneed people to join with us and take anactive role in protecting their per-sonal and financial data fromthieves.”

The IRS says its clear increasinglysophisticated identity thieves arebuying and selling excessive amountsof personal financial data on the blackmarket. They use this data to filefraudulent tax returns using victims’names and Social Security numbers.

People like Sandie, of Cincinnati,who wrote me, “Identity issue withIRS holding up 2014 refund paymentthat could be used toward eye trans-plant medications. Calls to IRS sinceMay to no avail, just extend refunddate with another excuse.”

It took eight months and a lot ofwork with the IRS before Sandie final-ly got her refund. That’s a little longerthan usual because the IRS says theaverage wait time to get thingscleared up is six months.

Then there’s Douglas, of Cincinnati,who wrote me, “My wife and I arebeing threatened by the IRS. Someoneused my Social Security number in2013 and owes the IRS. They filedtheir return in March of 2014 – wefiled in April, 2014 and received anotice that we had filed twice.”

Douglas says matters got a lotworse recently.

“We received a certified mail stat-ing, ‘Notice of intent to seize yourstate tax refund or other property’ if

we fail to pay…We areshocked that the IRS cancontinue to harass us fordebt that we’re not re-sponsible for. They’venever even shown us thetax return showing thatwe owe them money for2013. As a matter of fact,our legitimate 2013 taxreturn shows that theyowe us for that year.”

I put Douglas in touch with the IRStax advocate who was able to sortthrough the fraud. He has now beencredited for the money he paid andreceived refund checks for 2013 and2014.

The IRS its important to protectyour personal information by havingsecurity software on your computersand being aware of phony emails andphone scams.

For the 2016 tax filing season therewill be new standards for logging ontoall tax software products includingminimum password requirements,new security questions and standardlockout features.

For the first time, refund fraudvictims will be able to request a copyof the fraudulent tax returns filed bycrooks who used their stolen identi-ties. The IRS says there will be partialor full redaction of information onthose tax returns to protect additionalpossible victims. However, it says,there will be enough data for consum-ers to determine how their personalinformation was used.
