The word “retire” canmean to withdraw fromaction, but Evendale’sVivian Ramey has ig-nored that definition com-pletely. Since she retiredfrom 35 years teachingseventh-grade English atPrinceton Middle School,Vivian has been like theEnergizer bunny.

She so enjoyed watch-ing the children expandtheir understanding ofwritten and spoken lan-guage. There are favoritememories such as whenshe and teachers frommath, social studies, read-ingandscienceteamedto-gether to teachhowthingswere interrelated interms of time, place,movement and activities.Also, when the studentsread Thornton Wilder’s

“OurTown,”they com-posed won-derful re-ports ontheir re-spectivecommuni-ties thatcomprisethe Prince-ton CitySchools.

During the summer,Vivian teaches highschool freshmen, sopho-mores, juniors and sen-iors to help them improvetheir skills. They visit col-leges to get an idea ofwhat college is like. Mostare the first generation intheir families to do so. Shefound it very interestingto work with them. Some

can’t get adequate fund-ing to avoid high collegedebt, soVivianhelps themby coordinating with theMinority EmpowermentInitiative Trust thatawards scholarships tominority studentsthrough The EpiscopalCommunity ServicesFoundation. Complete in-formation about this pro-gram is available atwww.diosohio.org.

In Vivian’s own words,here is what she has beendoing since she stoppedworking:

“From September 2010to April 2011, I participat-ed in the Southern OhioLay Leadership Initiative(SOLLI). Not being a cra-dle Episcopalian, I foundSOLLI to be an enlighten-ing and richly rewardingexperience. The programafforded me the opportu-nitytogainabetterunder-standing of the history,structure, vision and mis-sion of the EpiscopalChurch.”

She also recounts thefundraising activities inwhich she has participat-ed at St. Simon of Cyrenechurch this year.

“Our May 31 High TeaSocial was a beautiful ex-perience, bringing peopletogether from IndianHills and many otherneighborhoods. It had a

British flavor with touch-es of an American settingwhat with the fancy hats,hors d’oeuvres, sconesand many varieties ofteas. On July 13 we held aJazz on the Lawn indoorconcert featuring theMu-zik Company Band. Nowwe are looking forward toour country westerndance to be held Friday,Sept. 27, from 9 p.m. to 1a.m. at the UAW Hall Lo-cal 863, 10708 ReadingRoad in Evendale. Ticketcost: $20. Prizes will beawarded to the bestdressed couple, best

dressed male and bestdressed female and youcan play split-the-pot andpeel off games. Call RoseHolloway at 513-771-3622for tickets.

“For our Men’s andWomen’s Day celebrationwe will sell BBQ Sept. 19and 20, and Oct. 3 and 4.Next on theagendawill bea Holiday Bazaar on Nov.15 and 16, with exquisitehand-crafted items andtasty homemade edibles.”

Contact the church at513-771-4828 for completeinformation.

Vivian has also been

busy serving as vicepresident and presidentof the Episcopal Church-women, secretary of theNew Visions InitiativeMinistry, on the AltarGuild, on the church Ves-tryandasamemberof theEucharisticMinistry. Onecan only wonder whereshe gets the energy.

the price is not.Last year, Sharonville

paid $47.65 a ton, with aconfirmed quantity of1,600 tons to purchase,through the rock salt pur-chasing cooperativeSouthwest Ohio Purchas-ers For Government, orSWOP4G.

SWOP4G bid for250,000 tons of salt forthis year’s winter season,for the 100 communitiesthatmake up the coopera-tive.

Sharonville’s bid pricewas $109.25 per ton, about

2.3 times what the citypaid last year, and a pos-sible share of 25,000 tons,according to Kempe.

“The city was ap-proached by SheminLandscape Supply, whosupplies rock salt to inde-pendent contractors, thatthey have secured rocksalt that is mined in Mo-rocco, Africa,” Kempesaid. “The city has agreedto purchase1,000 tons at acost of $120 per ton.

“That will put our saltsupplies at around 2,500tons and should meet thecity’s needs, dependingonthe severity of the win-ter,” he said. “The city isstill exploring cheaperoptions to purchase salt,

but the supply of salt isextremely uncertain.”

Wyoming has a con-tract withMorton Salt forthe upcoming winter sea-son.

“Our contract is for upto 1,500 tons at a cost of$69.91 per ton,” WyomingPublic Works DirectorTerry Huxel said.

Wyoming is guaran-teed that price for 800tons, he said.

The city used about1,200 tons of salt last year,with another1,500 gallonsof calcium chloride at$1.27 agallon,whichhelpsto activate the salt whenthe temperaturedropsbe-low 25 degrees Fahren-heit.

Princeton’s first schoolboard meeting of the newschool year hit a highnote, with a presentationshowcasing the highschool’s music program.

A video outlining theprogress of the schoolsmusic curriculum waspunctuated by a perfor-mance by senior NicoleHeadlam, whose perfor-mance exemplified thePrinceton motto: “Chal-lenge to Achieve.”

Headlam, a Sharon-ville resident, is a drummajor in the marchingband. She also plays flute,an instrument she pickedup in sixth-grade atPrinceton CommunityMiddle School.

After six years of pri-vate lessons, her hardwork paid off. Headlamhas been selected as amember of the 2015 OhioMusicEducatorsAssocia-tion All-State Band.

She will perform withthe OMEA All-State Bandat theOMEAProfessionaldevelopment Conferencein Cleveland in February.

During the schoolboard meeting, she per-formed three movementsfrom “Eight Pieces” byPaulHindemith, the pieceshe played in the OMEAcompetition.

“Nicole is a goodexam-ple of our music pro-gram,” William Spran-kles, director of second-ary schools, said. “Whilestellar as an individual,she is one ofmanyPrince-

ton students who have thecapacity to perform as anensemble and individual-ly.

“Her entire education-al experience has beenimpacted by Princetonmusic,” he said. “At manyother places, you take amusic class. Here, it’s aproduct of a culture.

“It brings a lifelong ap-preciation of music,”Spranklessaid, “andhelpsstudents develop self-dis-cipline, persistence andteamwork.”

WYOMING—These Cowboysare used to being hunted.

Coming into the 2014 girlsvolleyball season, WyomingHigh School had not lost a Cin-cinnati Hills League matchsince 2009. So far, coach JuliePlitt’s crew is living up to theirbillingas they looktoruntheta-ble again.

Non-conference, they’ve de-feated Division I Fairfield andTurpin, with the lone loss com-ing in the third game of theyear to Lakota East in five sets.

A big game came Sept. 10,with the Cowboys ranked sec-ond in Division II in the cityfacing No. 1McNicholas.

Just as they did a year ago,Wyoming downed the LadyRockets in five.

“It’s always nice to beatMcNick,” Plitt said. “We al-ways know we’re going to facea strong team.”

Defensive specialist GraceSchneider is back as a senioraftermakingCHLfirst teamasa junior in 2013. Also back is 6-foot-4 Pittsburgh-bound MadiMaisel who was CHL secondteam and junior Maddie Bahrtakes over as libero after anhonorable mention sophomoreseason.

“They’re strong defensivelyand they don’twant to give up,”Plitt said of her 2014 girls. “Notthat my other teams did, theyjust findaway tokeep fighting.They don’t get down on them-selves.”

Again, Wyoming has somesize advantages with Maiseland 6-foot-2 junior middle hit-ter Haley Stewart.

“Theyputupabigbox,”Plittsaid. “It’s pretty dominant andhard to get around.”

The Cowboys also feature 5-

foot-10 seniorAlexisTyreewhowould like to continue her ca-reer in college.On the floor, Ty-ree is one of the more celebra-tory Cowboys.

“She’s our energy, that’s forsure,” Plitt said. “In practice,she may hit 10 balls out ofbounds, but come game timeshe figures out a way to win.”

Complementing the biggerWyoming girls is 5-foot-6 left-handed sophomore ReaganRaymer, who also finds a wayto score.

“Usually you put your leftyon your right side,” Plitt said.“She has such good ball controlthat we put her on the outsidebecause we were lacking that.We put her there hoping shecould find some holes for usand she has.”

Ahead on the docket forWyoming is a league match atMadeira Sept. 18 and then an-other Division I test when Syc-amore visits Plitt and companyonPenderyAvenue onSept. 20.

SHARONVILLE — PrincetonHigh School turned water polointo a family affair.

The Vikings installed veter-an coach Gary Tameris – whotook over as head swimmingcoach last season – as the boyswater polo coach this year.Daughter JaclynTameris Jonesis in her seventh season coach-ing the girls team.

Both dad and daughter aredealing with small rosters asthey try to build their respec-tive programs.

Tamerishas12playerson theboys squad, only five of whomhave much varsity experience.TheVikings got off to a1-9 startin their first 10 matches.

“Part of the problem rightnow is the numbers,” Tamerissaid. “The water mentality forthese kids and so many of themjust learning the game, it’s pret-ty hard to keep up with teams

with 20, 30 players. We’re tak-ing baby steps, but I’d saywe’recrawling at this point.

“We’re taking our lumps,which is to be expected with allthe new players we have and aslittle substituting as we can do.We’ve just got to keep the faithand keep getting kids out here.”

Kids like seniors Will Cha-ney, a goalie, and Mitchell Ad-kins, who share captain’s hon-ors. They are joined by return-ees like senior Allen Mott andjuniors Andy Powell and RileyHinkley, the top offensivethreat for the Vikings.

Newcomers likesophomoresJesse Kufeldt, McKinley Gil-more and JocobKnox are learn-ing the game with freshmenLiam Edmiston, Justin McDa-niel, Jarod Doblin and AaronPlvan.

Princeton hosts Mason Sept.17 and defending state runner-up St. Xavier Sept. 23, whiletraveling to Sycamore Sept. 24.

Jones faces a similar issue

with only 11 players on her ros-ter, seven of whom are new tothe game.

Senior Kaitlyn Shea and ju-nior Hannah Rust serve as cap-tains for a teamoff to a2-8 start.Both play the entire game andare catalysts on both offenseand defense.

Sophomores Allison Wil-liams and Dana Collopy areback for their second seasons,and Jones said both have showntremendous growth since theirfreshman campaigns. Amongthe new players, freshmanPaige Wandlin shows plenty ofpotential.

“They’re working well to-gether, communicating welland listening to one another,”Jones said. “Yes, they’re young,but they want to the best theycan be. And they’re doing that,giving 100 percent in practiceandingames.That’sall Icanaskof them. I don’t care if we loseevery game as long as they nev-er quit trying to do their best,

and they haven’t quit.“Our focus is learning theba-

sics. With only one senior, we’llgrow from that next year andhopefully the wins will start to

come.”ThegirlshostMasononSept.

SPRINGFIELD TWP. —Last season’s state run-ner-up results doesn’t ap-pear to be a fluke for theSt. Xavier High Schoolwater polo team.

Now in its fourth yearof existence, coach MikeRoberts decided to testhis team by traveling toMichigan and Pennsylva-nia to play some of the

best teamseast of theMississip-pi River.

TheBomberswent 2-2 inan earlyseason tripto Grand

Rapids, Mich., beforehosting their own tourna-ment and playing the firstwater polo match on St.Xavier grounds in morethan 30 years. In the proc-ess, the Bombers man-aged to defeat two of thebetter teams in the Cin-cinnati area in Sycamoreand Mason and finishingup the St. Xavier Invita-tional 3-1.

Next up was the OhioCup where St. X tookdown both Ohio teams(Upper Arlington andWorthington Kilbourne)before losing to the de-fending champions in aclub team out of Chicago,9-8.

“Athletically they’redoinggreat,”Roberts saidvia a phone interviewwhile away on work in

New York. “They’re im-proving. Unlike otheryears, we now have one,two or three guys to go to.We have 13 guys wherethere’s no drop off. Wehave great depth, greatbalance and a lot of goodunderclassmen. Thingsare bright and with thenumbers we’re having itlooks like this is going tobe sustained success andhopefully at a premierlevel.”

One of those under-classmen is sophomore,Grant House. House ismore known for helpingthe Bombers to the 2013Division I OHSAA stateswimming title, but heplayed a big role offen-sively in getting theBombers to their first wa-ter polo state final lastseason.

“He would be capableof playing water polo at anational level if he everdecided to,” Roberts saidof his sophomore.

While House mayheadline the offense, thedefense is what Robertsattributes to being thestrength of the team.Goalkeeper Matt Doyle isback after picking up sec-ond-team all-state honorsa season ago, while de-fender Alex Letmer an-chors the defensive line.

“Defense is ourstrength,” Roberts added.“The rest of the team is allgood at defense, but ourconditioning and speed issomething all our playershave across the board.”

With 25 of the 38 play-

ers in the program beingunderclassmen and com-ingoffa trip to thestate fi-nals, Roberts couldn’t behappier with where hisprogram sits at presenttime.

“We’ve got to the point

where we may be beyondfull capacity,” the NotreDame graduate added.“We’re balanced, deep,youngandwehaveagreatgroup of committedcoaches.”

Sept. 10 questionWill Major League Baseball ever

lift the lifetime ban of Pete Rose?ShouldMLB lift theban?Whyorwhynot?

“Itseemslessandless likelytheMLB will ever lift the ‘lifetimeban’ on Peter Edward Rose, butyes, they should lift it. Frankly,should have lifted it long ago.Why? Simply because Pete has al-ways been good for the game ofbaseball despite his off-field char-acter – which is angelic comparedagainst others still in the gamewho abused drugs, wives, and al-cohol etc. ... ”

C.G.

“While I hope Pete Rose can beeligible foraHOFvote Idoubt thatwill happen in Pete’s lifetime. Petehad a chance in 1989 with thenCommissioner Peter Ueberroth,but Pete blew that opportunity.(Ueberroth had reinstatedMickeyMantle and Willie Mays who hadbeen banned due to their Casinojobs as greeters in Atlantic City).

“Once Bart Giamatti got in ascommissioner and selected JohnDowd to investigate, Pete wasdoomed. Outgoing CommissionerBud Selig fancies that he will him-selfbe in theHallofFame.Hedoesnot want to share that HOF stagewith Rose.

“Plus even if Pete is reinstatedthere is no guarantee he will getthe votes. Petemaygo down as themost tragic figure in sports histo-ry. Go figure!”

T.D.T.

Sept. 3 questionAreyouconcernedaboutaterror-

ist attack on US soil? Why or whynot?What can be done to lessen thechances of such an attack?

“Of course I am concernedabout terrorist attacks on US soil.Any sentient person better be.Sadly, it is not a question of if, butrather when the next attacks willoccur. There are far toomany rad-ical Islamists that feel theonlyval-idworld is onewhereeveryonebe-lieves strictly as they do (or didback in the 600s). If ‘we’ don’t be-lieve and act as ‘they’ demand thatwe do, then we are all to be killed.America is seen as the singlegreatest impediment to the fullrealization of that narrow mindedvision. Their primary tool tomakeall of this happen is terroristic at-tacks. The Lord only knows whatformthenext attackswill takeandwhen. I sincerely pray that I amvery wrong.”

M. J. F.

“I am more than concernedabout theplansof ISIS (a.k.a ISIL),not only for theU.S. but for all freecountries. This is a psychopathicblood cult thatwants andmeans tobe the top dog of terrorist groups,establishing a worldwide caliph-ate. They have exhibited in Syriaand Iraq their total disrespect forthe rights and liberty of other peo-ple, and human life in general.They have routinely committedgenocidal acts, rapes, decapita-tions, degradation of the bodies,burying women and childrenalive, the list goes on. Usama binLaden’s successor felt compelledto make another video and procla-mation, so he apparently thinksthis is serious and doesn’t want tobe outdone!

“Immediately, theU.S. needs tosecure our southern border.We al-ready know that drug cartel andMS-13 members have walkedacross this border; these individ-uals alone are a major securityconcern. Some ISIS and Al Qaedaare undoubtedly already here aswell. It can get much worse still ifthe border isn’t secured as ISIS isaccumulating vast wealth througha variety of sources, includingfrom sympathetic countries, andcan easily pay the cartels for pas-sage into the U.S. as the othershave. Next, an actual plan, with asmany coalition partners as we canget, needs to be put into action.Then, Valerie Jarrett needs to besent back to Chicago and refusedany further access to the WhiteHousewhereshehashad toomuchunwise authority and influence.The brutal murders of Americanjournalists James Foley and Ste-ven Sotloff were a declaration ofwar on the U.S. specifically. Thetime is long overdue for the presi-dent to begin to listen to our mili-tary and internationally experi-encedandknowledgeableexperts,and to finally show the necessaryleadership to face all the impor-tant international challengeserupting worldwide.”

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONHas the National Football Leaguefairly and properly handled the RayRice domestic abuse/violence case?What could or should the leaguedo differently?

Every week we ask readers a question theycan reply to via email. Send your answersto [email protected] Ch@troom in the subject line.

This essay might make alot of people mad. I sincere-ly hope so! I am writing as avery concerned citizen.

No matter which politicalparty you prefer, a prudentcitizen has to consider it as“The Least Worst Party.”

The list of governmentscandals grows as each newone is used to keep themedia from finalizing theblame for the last one. Atsome point all of us shouldbe alarmed. Party politicsshould take a distant secondto our professed loyalty tothe guiding principles of ourthoughtful founding fathers.

The mistreatment anddeaths of veterans at someof the Veterans Administra-tion hospitals was not onlyinexcusable, it was criminal.It demands drastic actionimmediately. The simpleanswer of giving veteransthe right to treatment atlocal hospitals is helpful, toolate and avoids fixing theproblem.

Mismanagement andpolitical favoritism is theproblem. Lives that werelost due to lack of treatmentand insufferable delayswould not happen in anyother hospital system. Therewould have been publicresponse and correctionswould have been made im-mediately along with appro-priate recompense and fir-ings.

The simple answer is to

transfer theentire opera-tion andcontrol tolocal healthorganiza-tions withresponsibil-ities similarto their stan-dards. Bid-ding wouldbe appropri-

ate. Salaries and duties ofthe transferred staff shouldbe in line with the acquiringfacilities.

With the appointment ofRobert McDonald there issome hope for an efficientrevision of the VA. A lotdepends on his ability toovercome the entrenchedbureaucracy that is endemicin all government agencies.We should hope that hechanges the VA into an effi-cient and well run system.

Now, dare I add the IRSto the list? Can you possiblyimagine a large corporationlosing all of its informationin their computers? Do youthink they could get awaywith lying under oath? Canyou imagine that almost anywell run corporation wouldnot find a way to assess andcollect taxes more efficient-ly?

Suppose they were alsomaking large contributionsto a political party. Theywould be caught immedi-ately. Howmuchmoney

would the government savedue to the efficiencies of acorporation that collectedtaxes fairly and got a rea-sonable bonus for creatingthe ability to lower taxes?Howmany businesses wouldthrive and hire more peopledue to lower taxes? Howmany desperate peoplewould find profitable jobsand start earning a decentliving?

What both operationshave in common is that theyare over paid, over staffedand under performing. Thisseems to be common in allgovernment enterprises. Abusiness in that positionwould suffer a severe reac-tion from the share holders.As taxpayers, we are shareholders in the government.

Something needs to bedone. We have generationscoming up who will beforced to face the obstaclescreated by a bankrupt Gov-ernment. Their futureprospects are poor at best.Making the governmentresponsive and responsibleto the citizens is urgent.

Total privatization withappropriate oversight is ananswer. This will lead tolowering costs and ultimate-ly reduced taxes. Growthwill start again favoringthose who have been hurt bythe continuing recession.

Youmay not realize this,but falling is a serious healthrisk among older adults.

Each year, roughly oneout of three Americans overthe age of 65 experiences afall. For adults over the ageof 65, falls are the leadingcause of emergency depart-ment visits and hospitaliza-tions. These emergencyroom visits and hospitaliza-tions result in $30 billion ayear being spent in the U.S.treating older adults for theeffects of falls.

Not only are falls expen-sive to treat, but the painand injury they cause canhave negative effects on aperson’s quality of life anddrastically reduce an olderadult’s independence. Once afirst fall has occurred theapprehension level risesbecause we are afraid it willhappen again. We also be-come concerned with theactions others might take tohelp us. All of this can leadto further physical decline,depression, isolation andfeelings of helplessness.

Fall Prevention Aware-ness Month is importantbecause we want to send themessage to families thatfalling is not a natural partof aging, and in many in-stances, falls can be pre-vented.

So what can be done toprevent falls? Plan ahead.Begin with a conversationbetween the senior and care-

givers. Lis-ten to oneanother. Donot assumeyou know theanswers. Beopen withone another.Ask whatchallengesthe person isfacing eachday with the

daily activities. Ask them toshow you how they do cer-tain routine activities. In-clude any nurse or thera-pists involved in the dailyhealth care plan. This maytake a few conversations tobuild or rebuild trust. It isimportant to be open-mind-ed to options and possibil-ities.

Families can also takesteps to make their homesafer. Some of the most com-mon locations for falls aredoorways, cluttered hall-ways, areas with heavy traf-fic, bathrooms and stairs.Simple steps to preventin-home falls include remov-ing throw rugs or ensuringfloor coverings are securedwith a non-skid backing andinstalling lighting at the topand bottom of staircases. It’salso important to secureelectrical and phone cordsout of walkways, and toremove tripping hazardslike paper, boxes, toys andclothes from stairs andwalkways.

For additional supportand to increase safety forseniors who may have al-ready experienced a fall orhave been injured, homemodifications may becomebeneficial. For example,grab bars can be installed inkitchens and bathrooms,doorways can be widened,and step-free entrances canbe constructed.

The important thing toremember is that fallingdoes not have to be a part ofgetting older. There are easysteps that can be taken toprevent falls, and to makeyour home a safe place.

If you’re not sure whereto start, consider calling aCertified Aging in PlaceSpecialist (CAPS). WholeHomeModifications’ CAPSoffer free in-home consulta-tions.

We come prepared with aFall Prevention Checklist,and can guide you in the bestdirection to ensure safetyand prevent falls.

One thing I’ll say formy readers, you are ob-servant.

Afterseeing thephoto ofmy great-grand-daughter,Jaide, inmy recentcolumn,emails andcommentsstartedcoming.

“I didn’t know youwere a great-grandma, oris that a typo?” was typ-ical. To set the recordstraight, I’m a great-grandma by default,thanks to stepson, Joe.I’ve always said thatbeing a mom or grandmaisn’t necessarily agerelated, and the same istrue for a great-grandma.Having family to love is ablessing regardless ofhow they come into yourlife.

Master recipe forsimple pasta sauce

My go-to recipe for ascratch tomato saucethat can be vegetarian ornot. Good for children,since it isn’t too spicy, butstill very flavorful. Thistakes more time thanopening a jar of ready-made (not that muchmore time), plus this hasgood, pure ingredientsthat you may have onhand and is so versatile.Taste as you go along andadd more flavorings ifyou want. I like to usewhole Italian plum/Romatomatoes since they’reusually better qualitythan already diced. Dou-ble and freeze half if you

like.3-4 tablespoons olive

oil - I use 41/2 cup diced onion2 teaspoons or 2 nice

cloves garlic, minced28 oz. can whole toma-

toes in puree1 tablespoon tomato

paste (freeze rest ofpaste)

1/2 teaspoon each:dried basil and oregano

Salt and pepperIn pan, heat oil and

add onions. Over mediumheat, cook until onionsturn almost transparent,but not brown. Stir ingarlic and cook a coupleof minutes until garlicsmells fragrant. Addeverything else and mashtomatoes with potatomasher. Bring to a boil,then lower to simmer foranywhere from15 to 30minutes.

Adding sugar: Somelike to add a teaspoon orso but I don’t.

Meat sauce: Whenadding garlic, add 1pound or so lean groundbeef or turkey and cookuntil done, then add restof ingredients. Ditto withbeans, etc.

Don’t forget cheese!This is a yummy toma-toey (is that a word?!)sauce, so when you toss itwith pasta, be sure andsprinkle on generousamount of Parmesan.

HorchataFor those of you

who’ve been asking forthis, including Erin S.fromMason. Traditional-ly made with rice and apopular Mexican streetdrink. Perfect for thosewho are lactose intoler-ant. Have any of you

made this with brownrice?

6 tablespoons long-grain white rice

Teal is the color usedby ovarian cancer ad-vocacy groups and withthe national OvarianCancer AwarenessMonth approaching inSeptember, the OvarianCancer Alliance of Great-er Cincinnati will beshowing power is teal asthey work to create pub-lic awareness of symp-toms of ovarian cancerand provide support forwomen affected by thedisease.

The local nonprofitovarian cancer resourceorganization will sponsorits eighth annual Poweris Teal 5K Run/Walk forOvarian Cancer Aware-ness at 8:30 a.m. Sat-urday, Sept. 20, startingat 8:30 a.m. at LunkenPlayfield to help raisefunds and raise aware-ness of the symptoms ofovarian cancer to aid inearly detection.

For supporters, entryfees are $25 (adults) and$12 (children ages 6-12)before Sept. 14 and $30

(adults), $15 (children)after Sept. 14. Childrenages 5 and under arefree. For complete de-tails and advance regis-tration, visit www.cincy-teal.kintera.org or call

513-253-0012.Eight local ovarian

cancer survivors haverecently ramped up theirinvolvement in OCAGCand are eager to engagemore survivors in their

support network and alsocontinue the advocacyand awareness buildingto support research ef-forts and publicize thesymptoms women shouldbe aware of.

“Because ovariancancer has the highestmortality rate of all gy-necological cancers,there’s sometimes a mis-perception that ovariancancer survivors don’texist,” said Martha Farrof Montgomery, “but weare proof that is not thecase!”

The local organizationoffers comfort kit bas-kets for women newlydiagnosed, informationand guidance to localresources provided bysurvivors, an online net-work sponsored by Ovar-ian Cancer National Alli-ance, and many supportprograms offered inconjunction withOCAGC’s local program-ming partner, CancerSupport Community.

Programs at CSC arealways free and open toanyone affected by anytype of cancer, but pro-grams of particular in-terest to women withovarian cancer and ovari-an cancer survivors are:

For a full calendar ofthe programs offered atCSC locations in BlueAsh and Ft Wright aswell as 14 additional off-site partner locationsthroughout the Tristate,visit www.cancersup-portcincinnati.org or call513-791-4060.

Importantly, datashows that if ovariancancer is caught before ithas spread beyond theovaries, the five-yearsurvival rate is in the 90percent range. But be-cause the symptoms aresubtle and not wellknown, it is less likelythan some other cancersto be found early.

“Ovarian cancer usedto be called a silent dis-ease,” said Karen Herzogof Liberty Township, “butnow we know it’s notcompletely silent, it actu-ally whispers. If youknow what to look forand act quickly on yoursuspicions it can make allthe difference.”

Survivors raise awareness

A lighter and moreupbeat Rosh Hashanahexperience is beingoffer to anyone whowould like to attend onthe Evening of RoshHashanah, 6 p.m.,Wednesday, Sept. 24, atthe Wyoming CivicCenter.

A live contemporaryband/ensemble will mixcontemporary Jewishmusic with a few highholy day melodies,prayer books will bereplaced by a visualpresentation, and in-sightful readings andpoetry will replace thesermon.

The mood will bejoyful and warm, hop-ing to help those es-tranged from theirJewish roots or unmoti-vated by standard Jew-ish worship to findmeaning in the holiday.

The Jewish HighHoly Days evoke manymemories for manyJews. It is a time whenJews all over the worldcelebrate the turn ofthe Jewish new year,respond to the Leviticuscommandment to soundthe shofar (a ram’shorn), and to begin thedays of repentance thatlead to YomKippur (the

Day of Atonement).Traditional services

are designed to help theworshiper reflect andrepent. There are spe-cial melodies that aresomber and the liturgyhighlights God as“judge and arbiter.”These holidays werewell attended by affili-ated and unaffiliatedJews in the past, butsome who were raisedJewish are not attend-ing anymore.

“There are manyreasons that Jews canfeel estranged fromsynagogue life, which iswhy this service will beheld in the WyomingCivic Center, it’s likegoing to neutralground,” said RabbiSandford Kopnick. “Wedon’t intend to solicitmemberships, but justwant to help our neigh-bors find their wayback to Judaism. Let’sput it this way, it won’tbe your grandpa’s RoshHashanah,” Kopnickadded.

The service is free ofcharge, and worshipersare encouraged to“come as they are.” Nospecial attire is expect-ed. For more informa-tion, call 513-761-3555.

Discussing aging is-sues, such as living ar-rangements, finances,dating, end-of-life deci-sions and driving, earlyand often can save fam-ilies years of heartache,tension and even legalbattles.

Yet, research indi-cates that about two-thirds of American fam-

ilies put off these con-versations, either be-cause they are uncom-fortable with the topicsor they just don’t knowwhere to start.

Statistics show that 34percent of adults sur-veyed are conversationavoiders.

That is, they haven’ttalked about any impor-

tant end-of-life issueswith their parents orchildren, or they havetalked about just oneissue.

To help, the localHome Instead SeniorCare office is sponsoringthe “40-70 Rule” pro-gram, which includes anAction Plan for Success-ful Aging and other re-

sources to help easethese conversations be-tween adult children andtheir parents.

The idea behind the“40-70 Rule” is that bythe time adult childrenare age 40 and their par-ents are age 70, theyshould have these criticalconversations that willimpact the parents’ fu-

ture.“Unfortunately, it is

often not until a crisishappens that familiesconsider these importantdiscussions,” said BruceHobbs, owner of theHome Instead SeniorCare office serving Ham-ilton County.

According to recentlyconducted research, 70

percent of family con-versations about agingissues don’t occur untilthey are prompted by ahealth crisis or otheremergency.

This can increase thelikelihood of family dis-putes.
