The Sharonville Board ofHealth has been dissolved.

City Council upheld the wish-es of the voters, passing an ordi-nance Nov. 24 that terminatedthe city’s health district. Votershad passed Issue 25 on Nov. 3, 73percent to 26 percent. The ref-erendum authorizes the safetyservice director to enter into acontinuing contract with theHamilton County health dis-trict.

Health services will con-tinue as they have been for thepast year, Mayor Kevin Hard-man said.

“They’re done a great job,”he said of the Hamilton County

health department. “It’s goodfor the city, and good for all of usmoving forward.”

For the past year, the Hamil-ton County General Health Dis-trict has reported to the Sharon-ville Board of Health. With theboard’s dissolution, HamiltonCounty will now report to theSharonville administration.

City Council had voted in De-cember 2014 to contract withHamilton County for health ser-vices that Sharonville had pre-viously provided, joining 44 oth-er cities, villages and townshipsserved by Hamilton CountyPublic Health.

Those services include in-spections for food safety, nui-sance abatement, swimmingpools, hotels/motels, schools

and septic sewage systems. Thecounty also issues public healthlicenses.

Hamilton County conductsimmunization clinics, flu clinicsand disease investigations,though the contract requiresthose clinics to be in Sharon-ville. The city’s Christmas Fundand food pantry remained in-tact.

Sharonville pays HamiltonCounty $28,000 a year for healthservices, saving the city an esti-mated $250,000, according toHardman. The contract took ef-fect Jan. 15.

Sharonville employs a part-time nurse, who provides homehealth visits, community healthscreenings, school-relatedhealth screenings and other du-

ties. That nurse, Peggy Locasto,serves under the direction ofFire Chief Ralph Hammonds, asresidence assistance and inter-vention nurse.

Locasto is one of four currentemployees of the SharonvilleHealth Department. Adminis-trative clerk Jean Nelson hasbeen offered an administrativeposition in another departmentwithin the city.

The 50-year-old health de-partment was one of the ser-vices that set Sharonville apartfrom other communities in theCincinnati area. Only Spring-dale, Norwood and the city ofCincinnati staff health depart-ments independent of HamiltonCounty Public Health.

Help count winter birds at Sharon Woods

‘Tis the season to bejolly, supportive and gen-erous and so it was onSaturday, Nov. 14.

Glendale Police ChiefDave Warman had been atGlenwood Kroger for fooddonations to provide 25families a Thanksgivingmeal for the eighth year,but he had already leftwhen I arrived. If youmissed him, come to Glen-

dale’s Square Dec. 2 to filla large sleigh with foodfor Christmas.

However, I found an-other interesting story.Wyoming resident BeckyDunehew was at a table inthe lobby of the store witha sign that read “Cincin-nati Reds RBI.” On thetable were free bubblegum and bite-sized ThreeMusketeers candy bars,

and Mc-Donald’scouponsfor yourdonation.Becky,along withteens, Emo-ni Steelefrom NorthCollegeHill and

Caleb Tubbs from ForestPark, were there to raisemoney for uniforms,equipment, tournaments,bats, bat bags and helmetsfor RBI (Reviving Base-ball in Inner Cities).

Becky has been withthe program four years.Many of the players werein the Classic Junior RBITournament at Roselawn’sUrban Youth Academy forparticipants from all overthe country. Her son is anRBI player and she lovesbeing the team mom. Shecalls the boys her baseballsons. This wonderful

program began in 1989and serves under-servedyouth in a big way. Beckysaid it gives the boysexperience talking tostrangers and makesthem responsible.

I called Emoni’s andCaleb’s coach, RodneySears, for more informa-tion. It has been a greatexperience for him aswell as the kids. He waswith the Reds CommunityFund for 10 years, and hascoached RBI for five orsix years. It puts city andsuburban boys and girlsfrom ages 7-18 on ageappropriate teams. Thegirls play softball. Searscoaches the 13-year-oldyouth. He is so excited towatch the kids grow upand mature into greatyoung men. He’s coachedsome since they were6-years-old when theywere playing rec ball.

Parents used to headup the fundraisers, butSears realized that wasn’tteaching kids the valueshe wanted them to learn.This year he decided onthe McDonald’s coupons

that made the kids meetpeople, and gives peoplesomething immediate fortheir donations. Caleb andEmoni were so personablethat customers who prom-ised them they woulddonate after they shoppedactually did so.

After every practiceSears asks the boys toname the three most im-portant things, and theyreply God, family andschool. He teaches them ifthey want something, theymust work to get it. Theylearn life skills, masterinterpersonal communica-tion and how to work as a

team.The Cincinnati Reds do

a ton of things for the RBIprogram including payingtheir league fees. WithoutRBI, the youngsterswould not have experi-enced being part of the2015 All Star Game andthe Home Run Derby androoming at Xavier Univer-sity’s campus.

Julia Smith is a force tobe reckoned with when itcomes to helping familieswith Autism SpectrumDisorders.

On Saturday, Dec. 5,the charity she and herhusband Greg Smithfounded, Families withASD, will hold a fundrais-er walk from noon to 4p.m. at Amelia Elemen-tary School.

“Our group hopes toraise a lot of money onSaturday, Dec. 5 becausewe are trying to raisemoney for the Luke Greg-ory Center,” Julia Smithsaid. “Families with ASDhas been around 10 years.We started it because ofLuke.”

Luke is their son, LukeGregory Smith. He hasautism. The diagnosiscame at age 3. He and thefamily did well for awhile. Then, at the begin-ning of third-grade, atabout8-years-old, a ner-vous tic revealed itself.By October he began hurt-ing himself. Novemberbrought his first seizures.In December Luke be-came violent for the firsttime.

“He used to be so lov-ing and sweet, like he isnow,” said Smith, whowondered what to do.

“It got real dark therefor a while,” added hisdad, Greg.

Julia realized veryquickly that doctors andthe hospital did not havethe resources needed foran autistic individual.There are simply toomany families in need.She teaches in Ameliaschools and reached out to

find others similar tothem. They held the firstmeeting with seven fam-ilies in March 2005.

“It was so nice to beable to talk with some-body else who lived it,”she said.

Soon they were meet-ing monthly. More andmore families came. Itgrew and grew and theSmiths were paying foreverything out of theirown pocket. Julia decidedto have a Halloween partybecause autistic kids nev-er get invited to one.

“We always wanted toinclude the family,” Gregsaid. “We say bring thefamily, everyone is ac-cepting.”

Response was huge forthe Halloween party.They had 75 families andmore than 100 people intheir humble tri-levelhome. They could notkeep paying for every-thing. Not wanting to turnpeople away or chargethem, they formed the501c3 charity in February2006. Families with ASDheld a little informationsession for the public inSeptember.

“We had over 75 tablesand over 2,500 peoplecame to this expo,” Smithsaid. “This is all volun-teers. None of us are paid.We’re all parents.”

That first expo was inthe Anderson Hill UnitedMethodist Church 10years ago. It moved toLive Oaks, outgrew thatvenue and moved to Shar-onville Convention Cen-ter, where they will holdtheir 10th anniversary ex-po in 2016. The eventraises money for Familieswith ASD. The group or-ganizes other annual

events. They have autismfriendly Easter so theycan see the Easter Bunnywithout the anxiety of ameltdown in the mall.They have Bingo taconight, free Friday nightblitz movies; normal so-cial activity in which au-tistic families cannot nor-mally participate.

“We plan for the worstand pray for the best,”Smith said. “You just nev-er know. You have to thinkabout what could happenif you’re at the movietheater.”

A “meltdown” couldhappen. That can mean

property damaged, physi-cal injury, and could evenrequire police and emer-gency aid assistance. Ju-lia only had to make thatcall once. Luke was nothimself; he’s like theHulk, three times his nor-mal strength. She fearedpolice would come in“guns blazing.” She’s mostthankful they didn’t.

They had a center, akind of home, for the Fam-ilies with ASD on MeijerDrive in Milford for abouteight years. The centerhad autism information,supplies, and was simply asafe environment for au-

tism families to go, notworry, and be themselves.It closed. There is no stateor federal funding, onlydonations. With the centerclosed, they’ve had nohome base this past year.They could not pay rentand save money to expandat the same time.

“All our kids are grow-ing,” she said. “They areall becoming adults withautism.”

Many of the familieshave been in the group for10 years. Their childrenare all 10 years older. Lukeis 20; he’ll be 21 in June2016. They age out of

school at 22. With no realautism program in Cincin-nati at this time, there isno place for them to go.The center in Milford waslike a house, not like a hos-pital. The group wants aplace with a full kitchen,to teach useful life skills,and a gym where theywon’t be turned away atthe door.

“We would like to buy aplace that will go past us,”Smith said. “Once we’regone, it will continue.We’d love to find an oldchurch that has a gym,and all that in there.”

Moeller High School» Seventeen years ago Dan Leugers,

class of 1977, began the school’s firstcanned food drive. That year 65 boxes offood were collected. This year 1,200 box-es, totaling close to $30,000 will be donat-ed to St. Vincent DePaul Society and St.George Food Pantry. Each box of foodwill feed a family of four for two days.

“For the St. George Food Pantry theneed is great. These donations will stocktheir shelves until spring. If we did notdonate to St. George it would be a hugedevastation because they rely so heavilyon this donation” Leugers said.

For many people in our community,hunger and food insecurity are a diffi-cult reality. Thousands of adults, chil-dren and seniors in our communities arestruggling with hunger every day. Foodinsecurity refers to the availability offood and access to it. Those who are con-sidered food insecure do not know whenthey will have their next meal. Many inlow or fixed income situations are foodinsecure, often forced to choose betweenbuying food or paying for rent and util-ities. The increasing cost of living cou-pled with the downturn in the economyhas forced a growing numbers of themiddle class to utilize emergency foodassistance.

Leugers watches on as the SVDPtrucks are being loaded.

“Each year we send out a list of dona-tion items and then the donations pour in.We are so blessed to be able to help andthis is definitely a good thing!”

Moeller’s canned food drive takesplace every November.

“Thanksgiving is a wonderful timefor each of us to help those less fortunateas a sign of our gratitude for all the manyblessings we enjoy,” Principal Blane Col-lison said.

“Thanks to all those who gave so gen-erously to our annual canned food driveto help those in need of assistance. Yourcontribution will go a long way in servingthe Cincinnati community and assistingfamilies in need of our help.”

DECEMBER 2, 2015 • TRI-COUNTY PRESS • 7ANEWS

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 and

sugar bloom.Fat bloom is caused when chocolate is

exposed to high temperatures and thenallowed to reset, or is not tempered proper-ly. The cocoa butter melts and separates,then rises 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.

A publication of

Nov. 25 questionWould you feel safe traveling

to Europe in light of the Paris at-tacks? What would it take tomake you feel safe there?

“Had this question beenasked even two years ago myanswer would have been a sim-ple ‘sure.’ However, in light ofthe ever-increasing audacity ofradical Islamist groups (yesObama, you should use that la-bel), I would be extremely un-comfortable traveling inEurope with that all too identifi-able dark blue passport. It is ashame that so many innocentshave been killed in such violentmanners. It is a shame that ittakes events with the magni-tude of 9/11 or Paris or Londontrains or US embassies or hotelsin Mali to wake more of theworld up to the ever-increasingthreat radical Islamists insist isgood religion. It is a shame thatwe can’t all just learn to getalong with each other. It will bea real shame if we end up nextNovember with another weaksympathizer living at 1600Pennsylvania. Let us hope anpray for real leadership toguide us through and beyondthe terrorism quagmire.”

M.J.F.

“I would not feel safe travel-ing to Europe or for that matterany other foreign country ex-cept Canada. I have felt this waysince 9/11 and these terrorist at-tacks such as Paris reconfirmmy fears. Europe is being overrun with refugees from the Mid-dle East. Odd how so many aretrying to get out of these Mus-lim countries; yet they are notheaded to Dubai or Qatar. GoFigure!”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat is your favorite Christmassong? Which artist’s version doyou prefer?Bonus question - Do you have a“favorite” Christmas sweater?Tell us the story behind it, andemail us a photo.

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to rmaloney@communitypress.com with Ch@troom in thesubject line.

I must disagree with Mr.Edward Levy’s column - rad-ical steps to reduce violence.

We have not come up with amethod of keeping guns out ofthe hands of criminals and thementally ill. To propose thatwe arm more citizens in orderto reduce violence certainlyseems counter-productive.Cursory research reveals thatin other countries where gunlaws have been tightened,violent crime has been signifi-cantly reduced. Mental healthis a very complex subject andour police need more trainingin this.

His advice to hold nearestof kin responsible indicates hehas never dealt with our jus-tice system. I have a friendwhose 16-yea-old daughter ismentally unbalanced andaddicted to drugs. Mom can’ttie her up or lock her in a cageunless she wants to face childabuse charges. There are notenough mental health facil-ities and the ones that existcost $40,000 for six months oftreatment, after insurance.Most are not locked down andthe teenager can simply walkaway any time. Once theyhave run from a facility, theywon’t take them back becauseof liability issues.

While this young lady is notyet violent, she is showing

signs of becom-ing so. Thecourts haveturned her backout onto the

streets aftershe said infront of ajudge, “I justwant to die.”They put anelectronicmonitor on

her, which she wore for abouttwo weeks before simplydestroying it and going on therun again. How in the worldcould you hold this parentresponsible? She is doingeverything in her power to gethelp and none is forth coming.Parents are not denying re-sponsibility for their childrenbut they are being denied anyreal solutions.

The ideas about our correc-tional system are horrifyingparticularly in light of thenumber of people who havebeen incarcerated and laterfound innocent of a violentcrime. Why give the criminala Bible, but deny him anyform of love or forgiveness.There is nothing even remote-ly humane about these sug-gestions.

As to the writers of theSecond Amendment, “know-ing what they were doing,” I

laugh! This has been one ofthe most misunderstood andhotly debated amendmentsfrom the time it was written.It is directed toward “a reg-ulated militia” - written toguarantee the right of citizensto revolt. The Supreme Courthas ruled that this extends toan individual’s right to beararms, but I think this may yetcome up again for debate as towhether it covers the right tocarry concealed weapons.

Simply put, we need bettermental health care and an endto the concealed carry. If aneighbor who seems mentally“off balance” starts waving aweapon or talking about re-venge, I will report it - andhopefully prevent anothertragedy. I am much morecomfortable holding to “if yousee something, say some-thing.”

Not if you see something….shoot it!

Violence begets violence

AnitaShoemaker COMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Tom Brokaw, author of thebook “The Greatest Genera-tion,” describes “A generationof American heroes and hero-ines who came of age duringthe Great Depression and theSecond World War and went onto build modern America asthe greatest generation anysociety has ever produced.”This generation gave theirchildren (Baby Boomers) astrong, prosperous and unitedcountry.

As a Baby Boomer, I amextremely concerned about thecondition of our country thatwe are giving to our childrenand grandchildren. Our coun-try is drowning in debt and isdivided in many ways. Ournational debt as of Nov. 1, was$18.4 trillion. Imagine 257 lanesof Cadillac Premium EditionEscalades (MSRP of $82,540and 17-feet in length) placedbumper to bumper from NewYork to Los Angeles (2,790miles). This is an illustration ofhow much our national debt is.

Some individuals and or-ganizations are seeking todivide our country by rich/poor, black/white, Hispanic/white, male/female, gay/straight, young/old, etc. Abra-ham Lincoln stated that “Ahouse divided against itselfcannot stand.”

John F. Kennedy stated,“My fellow Americans, ask notwhat your country can do foryou, ask what you can do foryour country.” Do these wordsstill describe the spirit of theU.S.A.?

The presidential election of2016 will have enormous conse-quences for the future of ourcountry as well as the world.As citizens, will we continuedown our present path or willwe choose bold, honest, andwise leadership as a new direc-tion? Citizens need to reflecton the current situation of our

country andbecome in-formed on theissues.

They mustbecome awareof the positionsof the candi-dates and thor-oughly evalu-ate these posi-tions.

We mustinsist that candidates be hon-est.

“Honesty is the first chapterin the book of wisdom.” (Thom-as Jefferson) I believe that Dr.Ben Carson has the courage,common sense, passion, in-sight, wisdom, intelligence,integrity and electability tounite our country and get ourcountry back on track.

Wrist injuries are com-mon among young athletes.A fall onto an outstretchedhand is a common mecha-nism of injury.

The most commonlyfractured bone around thewrist with such a mecha-nism is the radius bone,accounting for roughly onethird to one half of all wristfractures in children.

Though less commonoverall, another importantfracture from a fall onto anoutstretched hand is thescaphoid fracture. Thescaphoid bone, a small bonethat sits on the thumb sideof the wrist, is the mostcommonly fractured carpalbone. A scaphoid fractureis difficult to diagnose as itis often not seen on initialX-rays. It can be devas-tating if not treated proper-ly and can ultimately im-pact return to play.

Some of the symptomsinclude pain and swelling atthe base of the thumb andincreased pain with move-ment and gripping objects.If you think your child hasa wrist injury, it’s alwaysbest to have an examinationby a physician to determinethe need for diagnosticimaging and treatment.Some of the diagnostictests may include:

» X-ray: the most com-mon diagnostic test for ascaphoid fracture. This testutilizes electromagneticwaves of high energy todistinguish bone from softtissues (muscles, tendons,ligaments, skin, fat tissue).This test is commonly usedas an initial test to deter-mine if your child has sus-

tained ascaphoidfracture.

» Magneticresonanceimaging(MRI): a radi-ation-freetest that useslarge mag-nets to pro-duce detailedimages of

both soft tissues and bone.MRI is best for determiningpathology of tendons andligaments that cannot be seenwith X-rays alone. An MRImay pick up a scaphoid frac-ture that a plain film X-raymisses.

» Computerized tomog-raphy (CT or CAT scan): usesX-rays to produce “virtual”slices of body parts. CTs areparticularly important forlooking at bones. They pro-duce images that are moredetailed than typical X-rays.

Once the diagnosis of thescaphoid fracture is made,your doctor will determinethe best possible treatmentplan. The non-surgical ap-proach involves a cast that

includes the thumb. Healingtime is usually four to sixweeks in these instances.

If the fracture involvestwo separate pieces of thescaphoid bone, surgery maybe needed. Compressionscrews, wires and implantsare some of the surgical tech-niques used to hold the bonetogether. Recovery time canvary.

At Cincinnati Children’s,we have a team of physicaltherapists with pediatrictraining to assist your childwith his or her wrist rehabili-tation. Your child’s therapistwill work individually withyour child to design a re-gimen aimed at restoringfunction.

Time will tell what becomes of thePrincetonboys swim team. The Vikingsare a young team, with only experi-enced, returning swimmer.

Senior Riley Hinkley was an individ-ual district qualifier last season in the50 freestyle and 100 backstroke. Hin-kley, who also starred for the Vikings inwater polo, finished eighth at districtsin the 50 free.

“Riley is loaded with talent, he’smade great strides and hopefully he’sgonna cap off his final year swimmingwith a possible state berth,” said Prince-ton third-year coach Gary Tameris.“That’s what we’re shooting for.”

With a new pool this season, Tameriswas hoping for his team’s number to in-crease and they did.

It may take some time for the new-comers to develop, but this year theyget to train alongside one of Princeton’sfastest swimmers.

Wyoming is trying to complete adecade of dominance.

The Cowboys have won nine straightCincinnati Hills League championships.Junior Carson Burt, senior ChristopherRutter, and sophomore Philip Brockerlead this year’s team.

All three competed at state last year,helping Wyoming secure a fourth-placefinish at state.

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 themost impressive programs the area hasever seen.

Last season, St. Xavier won its sev-enth consecutive Division I state cham-pionship (36th all-time) and the Bomb-ers return buses full of top-tier talent inthe water.

The Bombers also rotated the coach-ing carousel this year. Longtime headcoach Jim Brower moved from the headposition to an assistant, to make way forformer assistant Tim Beerman to takeover as head coach. Beerman was previ-ously a head coach at Ursuline Acad-emy.

“It’s worth mentioning that this teamis 100 members strong and while we cer-tainly can point to some of our topsswimmers at the state level,” Beermansaid, “the focus of the team is reallyabout helping everyone discover andreach the potential they have.”

Junior Grant House is without ques-tion the fastest swimmer in state. House

has already won four individual statechampionships (two as a freshman, twoas a sophomore), and he’s helped on anumber of state championship relayteams. Last year, he won the 100 and 200freestyle races at state.

Senior Matt Slabe, also an individualstate qualifier, swam on the 400 free-style relay team that won a state titlelast year. Junior Luke Sobolewski’s an-other experienced swimmer who won astate title on the 200 medley relay lastyear. Junior Charles Leibson was an in-dividual state qualifier in two races lastyear, and just finished helping theBombers win a water polo state champi-onship. Sophomore Justin Grender wasanother difference maker at state lastyear, as was sophomore Nicholas Pere-ra.

Beerman has also been very im-pressed by freshman Jake Foster.

“They’re just now learning how goodthey can really be,” said Beerman.“Their effort level is off the charts interms of what we’re asking of them. It isa talented team, but we’re excited to seehow far that talent can take us as a team.We certainly hope with good health andgood training that we can return to stateand do well. There are any number of in-dividuals (outside of the swimmersmentioned above) on this team who cancontribute to our success.”

Moeller finished second in the statelast year, behind only GCL rival St. Xa-vier. The Crusaders return all but twomembers of that Division I state run-ner-up team.

Jacob Peloquin placed fifth in thestate in the 100-yard butterfly and sev-enth in the 100-yard backstroke. CooperHodge finished 5th in the 200 yard IM.Both are back for their senior season.

Senior Dan Nyberg and juniors Aus-tin Theobald and Will McCullough alsoreturn. Peloquin, a Miami Universitycommit, and Hodge, a University ofWisconsin commit, will anchor the Cru-saders’ relay teams. Expectations willbe high for this team in 2015-2016.

If the plan is to build off what RogerBacon’s boys swimmers accomplishedlast year, then the Spartans could be infor a season that runs all the way to thefinal weekend.

Last year’s team seemed to turn it onfor the postseason, and fourth-yearcoach Ben Stone hopes that’s the caseagain this year. Stone’s squad gets agreat glimpse of top competition all sea-son in the Greater Catholic League

See BOYS, Page 2B

The girls swim team at Princeton isin roughly the same boat as the boys.The only difference is the girls’ topswimmer isn’t a senior, she’s a sopho-more.

Mikka Miquiabas was a district qual-ifier last season as a freshman.

Princeton coach Gary Tameris saidMiquiabas is a “5-foot-4, little sparkplug.”

“She’s a very good swimmer,” saidTameris of Miquiabas, “she trains withMercy Healthplex and swims with us.Her main stroke is probably butterflybut she commands all strokes. She qual-ified to districts in the 50 freestyle lastyear, and we’re hoping to get her to thatnext level also; she’s got a lot of talent towork with.”

The girls have 16 swimmers in all,and they’re working on getting faster.

“The numbers are good there,” saidTameris. “We have 16 girls overall, andthey’re in the same boat – most arefreshman and sophomores. Princeton’sjust going through a transition phase ofgetting talent back to where it’s gottabe. Hopefully we’ll start to climb thatladder a little higher.”

The Wyoming High School girlsteam is looking for its first CincinnatiHills League title since 2011.

Last year’s team was young butgained valuable experience. Junior LiaThomas and sophomore Rebecca Pran-gley lead the way.

They teamed with senior Sara Wash-ienko and junior Anne Criddle on the re-lay team that qualified for state last

year. Junior Charlie Donnelly also re-turns after qualifying for state in divinglast year.

Now in his fourth season coachingthe girls swim team at Roger Bacon,coach Ben Stone likes how the girlshave approached this season. Stonepointed to the hard work he’s alreadywitnessed before the grueling stretchof winter really takes its toll.

The Lady Spartans’ best shot comesin the form of junior Renee Finan andsophomore Sophie Hunter. Finan didnot qualify for the district meet last sea-son. Finan’s best events are the 50 free-style and 100 butterfly.

Stone said he believes Finan is “pret-ty much a lock” for districts this year.His reasoning is because of how hardshe’s worked already this year.

If the rest of Roger Bacon’s rosterfollows suit, the Spartans could surprisesome people this year.

Mount Notre Dame is led by GraciDoll, Corinne Herwitz, Amanda Puth-off, Annie Kruspe, and Kate Van DenBrink.

The Lady Cougars will field a deeperand more experienced squad in coachPete Wagner’s second season at MND.That depth is bolstered by the additionof some swimmers who returned to thesport to compete for the varsity team af-ter taking some time off from competi-tion.

“This team is well-rounded and com-prised of swimmers that are committedto the sport and not afraid to workhard,” said Wagner. Grace Menkeearned diver of the year honors in theGGCL last year as a freshman.

“He has the best shot atmaking state for us,” saidStone. “Last year he swam

KENWOOD – Shortly afterNASA’s Gemini V mission carry-ing astronauts Charles Conradand Gordon Cooper returned toEarth Aug. 29, 1965, Moeller HighSchool’s first legendary footballseason was about to blast off un-der Gerry Faust.

The Beatles released four al-bums in ‘65, including “Help” butthe Crusaders needed little aid.Moeller plowed through 10 oppo-nents – unscathed just five yearsafter Faust started the programwith freshmen in 1960.

There was no state champion-ship at the time. Ohio playoffsdidn’t begin until 1972. Fausteventually had nine undefeatedregular seasons and five state ti-tles from 1975-1980.

During the weekend of Oct.2-3, the Crusaders gathered for a50-year reunion which included atour of the school, a meeting withthe current Moeller team, a tripto Lockland Stadium for thatnight’s game against La Salle anda gathering the next day.

The leader and his crewFaust, 80, is 13 years older

than most of the ‘65 seniors. Theformer Notre Dame and Univer-sity of Akron coach still looks

much like his Moeller statue onthe back practice field.

Faust remembers having 80players that year, 42 juniors and38 seniors. He cut four of them,then later brought them all back.Ahead of their time in themid-60s, the Moeller staff used aplatoon system of offense and de-fense.

“We were always stronger inthe fourth quarter,” Faust said.

Though the statistics show ob-vious standouts on the team,Faust is hesitant to pinpoint oneover the other for recognition.

Dave Wilcoxson gained 709yards for the Crusaders duringthe season and scored 13 touch-downs. However, in an interviewwith Hal McCoy after Moeller’s15-6 win over Dayton Chaminade,Faust was sure to mention thatWilcoxson couldn’t do it withoutthe blocking of the offensive line.

Faust also deflects credit andcites his his ‘65 assistants JimGates, Phil Gigliotti, Paul Kenny,Bill Meloy, Dan Shea, GeorgeMarklay and Tim Rose.

Bill Clark is listed in the 1965banquet program as “A greatfriend of Moeller.” His contribu-tion to the Crusaders was start-ing their weight program, anoth-er area where they were pio-neers. Working the night shift atProcter and Gamble, Clark in-

stalled Moeller’s first “weightroom” in his basement.

Truthfully, it wasn’t “AirFaust” as Bien was 37-for-88 forfive touchdowns and Eysoldt was14-for-27 for two scores. Howev-er, it was the start of a slottingsystem of quarterbacks for fu-ture development.

While many of today’s teamsrun “camps” and “two-a-days”from late July into early August,Moeller’s schedule was a littlemore rigid. During the summer,the Crusaders had three sessions:8-10:30 a.m., then 1-1:45 p.m., onthe kicking game. From there,they worked until 4:30 p.m., onthe passing game.

The success of the offense iswell documented, but it was anew defense that threw 10 oppo-nents for a loop that magical sea-son.

“We were one of the firstschools in the country to play a4-4 defense,” Faust said. “It’s notthe same as the 4-4 today. No oneknew how to block it. We shiftedfrom a 4-4 to a 5-2 during thegames to make it even worse forthem.”

With the new scheme, Moellerallowed just 33 points that fall,with five shutouts.

A defensive end in thosegames was Jim Schwertman. A

member of the team in previousseasons, he was actually cut byFaust as a senior. Eventually, hewas persuaded to call Schwert-man back two days later.

“I went back and didn’t start,but ended up playing prettymuch of the first game againstPrinceton,” Schwertman said.

Sitting in an upstairs confer-ence room at Moeller, reunionsweatshirts were handed out,name tags attached and storiesbegan. The faces in the mirrorhave changed, but the atmos-phere and ribbing of a lockerroom remains the same.

Some of the players have losthair, while some have longer hairthan their high school days andbeards. As Faust implores themto shave, they now chuckle fear-lessly.

Dave Wilcoxson is still aroundhis listed playing size of 6-foot-2and 211pounds, which at the timemade him the second-heaviestplayer on the roster.

Wilcoxson was a fullback inthe T-formation and is consistent-ly referred to as “big, strong,husky and burly” in clippingsfrom the day. In a pinch, he lookslike he may still be good for ayard or two. Of the Moeller victo-ries, Game 4, a 17-0 shutout ofRoger Bacon stands out.

As the legendary coach remi-

nisces, his phone rings. Faustdoesn’t carry the iPhone 6, but heseems pretty comfortable work-ing his flip phone which rings asmuch as any current coach’s de-vice. One can only imagine howconvenient such an apparatusmay have been to Faust in hisheyday.

“I get a lot of calls,” Faust said.“I used to stop at every rest areaat a pay booth and make phonecalls when I was recruiting at No-tre Dame.”

As the players continue togather in the room, there’s warmhandshakes, smiles and memo-ries. When informed of a playernot attending, Faust becomesconcerned and asks for his num-ber to call. Periodically, the flipphone beckons.

One call comes from hisgranddaughter’s boyfriend inAkron. The young lineman is dis-traught over being moved to sec-ond team.

“I told him he’s a winner,”Faust said. “I told him to tell thecoach that he’s doing for what-ever is best for the team. Get be-hind the team 100 percent. That’sa kid that wins for you.”

Fifty years later, Faust is stillcoaching. Whether it is advice to67-year-old men or a message viaflip phone, the raspy voice al-ways rings true.

The continued theft ofpersonal information byidentity thieves has led theInternal Revenue Serviceto put in place toughersafeguards for the 2016 taxfiling season.

IRS CommissionerJohn Koskinen says, “Weneed the public’s help. Weneed people to join with usand take an active role inprotecting their personaland financial data fromthieves.”

The IRS says its clearincreasingly sophisticatedidentity thieves are buyingand selling excessiveamounts of personal fi-

nancialdata on theblack mar-ket. Theyuse thisdata to filefraudulenttax returnsusing vic-tims’names andSocial Secu-

rity numbers.People like Sandie, of

Cincinnati, who wrote me,“Identity issue with IRSholding up 2014 refundpayment that could beused toward eye trans-plant medications. Calls to

IRS since May to no avail,just extend refund datewith another excuse.”

It took eight monthsand a lot of work with theIRS before Sandie finallygot her refund. That’s alittle longer than usualbecause the IRS says theaverage wait time to getthings cleared up is sixmonths.

Then there’s Douglas,of Cincinnati, who wroteme, “My wife and I arebeing threatened by theIRS. Someone used mySocial Security number in2013 and owes the IRS.They filed their return in

March of 2014 – we filed inApril, 2014 and received anotice that we had filedtwice.”

Douglas says mattersgot a lot worse recently.

“We received a certi-fied mail stating, ‘Noticeof intent to seize your statetax refund or other proper-ty’ if we fail to pay…Weare shocked that the IRScan continue to harass usfor debt that we’re notresponsible for. They’venever even shown us thetax return showing that weowe them money for 2013.As a matter of fact, ourlegitimate 2013 tax return

shows that they owe us forthat year.”

I put Douglas in touchwith the IRS tax advocatewho was able to sortthrough the fraud. He hasnow been credited for themoney he paid and re-ceived refund checks for2013 and 2014.

For the 2016 tax filingseason there will be newstandards for logging ontoall tax software productsincluding minimum pass-word requirements, newsecurity questions andstandard lockout features.

For the first time, re-fund fraud victims will be

able to request a copy ofthe fraudulent tax returnsfiled by crooks who usedtheir stolen identities. TheIRS says there will bepartial or full redaction ofinformation on those taxreturns to protect addition-al possible victims. How-ever, it says, there will beenough data for consum-ers to determine how theirpersonal information wasused.
