The choir’s 30-minuteprelude will include amix of traditional carols,selections from its annu-al “Lessons and Carols”performance and old fa-vorites, and he saidthey’ll be joined by a har-pist, pianist and organist.

The 4:30 p.m. serviceis a family service fea-turing traditional carolschildren will know, as

well as a skit performedby the children.

Joining Martini as anassistant captain is de-fensemen Evan Deller,who has two goals andthree assists on the sea-son.

“He’s really contribut-edonbothends,” thecoachsaid ofDeller. “He’s averygood defensive player andhe’s very physical. He’sthe one guy who gives ourteam a physical presencemore than anybody.”

and Jared Schoenung.The remainder of the

roster is comprised of un-derclassmenwhoarecom-ing along, but present achallenge for thecoachingstaff with their inexperi-ence.

“The level, the skill ofthesystemsweput inhaveto be much simpler thanthey would be for guyswho have played for youfor two or three years,”Del Prince said. “… Butthese guys have workedhard and have caught on.”

ers play home games atCincinnati Gardens, butplay many league gamesaround Columbus as amember of the CapitalHockey Conference.

ForReeder, thehistoricarena off of SeymourAve-nue is home in more waysthan one. The self-de-scribed “rink rat” grewupjust a couple streets awayfrom the former home ofthe NBA Royals, severalpro hockey teams, prizefights and a Beatles con-cert.

Moellermade themoveto the northern confer-ence seven years ago forcompetition purposes.TheCrusaders compete inthe CHC-Red Divisionwith Dublin Coffman,Dublin Jerome,OlentangyOrange and OlentangyLiberty. The White Divi-sion features St. Francis

DeSales, St. Charles, Ga-hanna Lincoln and UpperArlington, with the BluecomposedofThomasWor-thington, Olentangy, Wor-thington Kilbourne, Dub-lin Scioto and Bishop Wat-terson. Seniors for Moell-er are AndrewCarmichael, Connor Iuni,Billy Rinderle, Alex Ar-mour and Brian Tempel.

Armour is the captainwho also enjoys playing inthebuildingmodeledafterToronto’sMaple Leaf Gar-dens.

In goal for the Crusad-ers is a 6-foot-6 masked“minder” in Tempel.Somehow, the other sportshave left the first teamall-league player alone at tal-ent-richMoeller.

St. XavierThe Bombers are off to

a 4-2-1 start despite a de-pleted roster through thefirst quarter of the seasonin the Southwest OhioHigh School HockeyLeague.

“We can’t keep all ourplayers on the ice,” coachAdam Tramonte said.“Whether it’s a sickness orinjury,we just never seemto have a full squad. … Ijust wish we could stayhealthy.”

While it may seem the

injuries haven’t had muchof an impact early on,things get complicatedwhen you don’t have thesame guys on the ice day-in-and-day-out.

“I think we have theability to be pretty good,”Tramonte said. “It’s tough-er to become better whenwe can’t practice every-day with a full squad. Weare always plugging guysin here and here in prac-tice and then all of a sud-den thenextdaywehaveadifferent guy over here.”

One constant for theBombers has been theplayofdefensemenTaylorFielman. The junior teamcaptainhasonegoal on theseason, but it’s his ap-proach in practice and inthe locker roomwhere hisimpact is felt most.

“He’s a heck of a de-fensemen,” thecoachsaid.“Being a junior (beingteam captain) is a big re-sponsibility but he’s defi-nitely up for it and he’sprobably one of our hard-est workers too. It’s beengreat tohavehimaround.”

Fellow team captainDan Pfeil is currently outwith a wrist injury but isexpected back within thenext couple weeks.

The third and finalteam captain is ChadArchdeacon, who is one ofjust two seniors on theBombers’ roster. The sen-ior has one goal and threeassists on the season.

“We are constantlyworking with kids whoweren’t even on the team(lastyear).Wewereseniorheavy last year and thenwe graduated seven sen-iors and you only carry 15kids,” Tramonte said.

Greta left indelible paw printsIt may seem strange to be

reading about a dog’s passing,but Greta was no ordinary dog.

She wasmy loyal compan-ion; she was smart and sensi-tive; she wasmy pride and joy;she wasMs. Greta. She was afriendly little dog who lovedchildren. The kids would see uswalking down the street andyell, “Greta!” Her ears wouldgo back, her tail would wag likecrazy, she would smile, and runtoward them, draggingmebehind her.

Greta won the 2003 and 2008Wiener Dog Nationals at RiverDowns. She was 10-years-old in2010 when won the “Running oftheWieners” on FountainSquare. Greta did a 20-yarddash in 3.48 seconds wearing ahot-dog bun! In 2011, she wonthe wiener dog races on the iceat the Cyclones’ hockey game.

In December 2005, manywondered if Greta would walkagain, let alone run. She had acollision with an English bull-dog on the playground at dog-gie day-care and broke her

back right legjust above theknee. Gretarequired sur-gery and twopins to repairthe broken leg.She was doinggreat untilApril 2006when she start-ed limping.

X-rays revealed that one of thepins in Greta’s leg hadmovedand was jabbing her right knee.The pin was surgically re-movedMay 2, 2006, andmyhappy, playful Greta was back!

Greta trained for her raceswith the help of neighborhoodchildren. The kids would taketurns racing against Greta onthe sidewalk. Katy, Ally andRylee Keller and ColbyMischhad a lot of fun helping to keepGreta in shape.

When Greta was not runningraces, she was training to be atherapy dog and often accom-paniedme to visit patients atarea nursing homes to fit hear-

ing aids and custom ear molds.Greta was just long enough toplace her front paws on the sideof a wheel chair and receivepats on the head from thoseinterested in greeting her. Myoffice manager once took her tovisit a friend in a nursing home.She told me howGreta’s de-meanor seemed to change assoon as her orange therapy dogvest was slipped over her head.She was an amazing ambassa-dor of good cheer. She per-formed simple tricks and en-joyed the praise she got fromthose watching. Her most im-pressive trick was using herfront paw to “makemusic” on axylophone.

Greta loved to go for walks.She kept pace with her favoritecanine friend year after year atvarious charity walks. Dashielwas a Signal Dog weighing 60pounds to Greta’s 12; they werethe same color with soft, red-dish fur. As they walked side-by-side wearing their orangevests identifying them as“working dogs,” they were

truly an odd couple. Peopleoften pointed and chuckled athow funny the pair looked.

Greta possessed amischie-vous sense of humor. Althoughreliably trained to give kisseson command (which the chil-dren loved!), she turned thetables onme at a “Bark in the

Park” Reds game. When theKiss Cam zeroed in on us dur-ing a slowmoment of the game,I asked Greta for kisses. Shealoofly turned away, makingme give her a kiss instead. Thecrowd went wild with laughter,recognizing who was boss ofour relationship.

Greta was amascot for ThePlace for Better Hearing andher photo was often used inadvertising. There are photosof Greta in my office andmyhearing aid patients often in-quire about my prize-winningwiener dog. There is even ascrapbook in mywaiting roomthat documents the adventuresof Ms. Greta. She died the dayafter Thanksgiving. She lived13 wonderful years. Her lifeleft paw prints on the hearts ofmany. Greta, you will bemissed!

Cincinnati remains the10th poorest city in the coun-try, according to the U.S.Census Bureau.

Carla, a Cincinnati resi-dent who works 10-hour days,six days a week, while takingcare of eight great-nieces andnephews counts on the extrahelp she receives from theFreestore Foodbank to carefor and put food on the tablefor her family.

“It’s a great help. It meansa lot to me. It helps to stretchthe rest of the food. The Fre-estore Foodbank means ev-erything to me. It’s part of mysurvival,” she said.

The holiday season is uponus, and our city must con-tinue supporting those inneed now and year-round. Iam proud to live in Cincinnatiand have much gratitudetowards those organizationsthat devote their time, ener-gy, and livelihood to helpindividuals and families inour city, especially the Fre-estore Foodbank.

The poor and the strug-gling are our neighbors, Carlais our neighbor. People in ourcommunity must face the

harsh realityof hunger andfood scarcitydaily. Eventhose that arefortunateenough tohave jobs stillstruggle tomake endsmeet as thecost of foodand expenses

continue to increase.My family, our teammem-

bers, and our guests havegrown up in this community.To look at our neighborhoods– in our backyards, and seethe struggles families have toface in order to make endsmeet, is disconcerting. It isour responsibility to cometogether to help those inneed. We as a community canwork as a team to fight hun-ger.

I regularly visit our 63pizzerias, from our BoudinotAvenue location to Price Hillto Anderson Township toForest Park, to meet withguests and teammembers, tolisten to their stories abouttheir families, their interests,

their successes and some-times, their hardships. Whilemany families who frequentour pizzerias can afford a hotmeal, I have heard of chal-lenging times when puttingfood on the table was a strug-gle for them, their families orfriends.

During this holiday season,LaRosa’s is once again proudto support the FreestoreFoodbank of Cincinnati tofight hunger right here in ourown backyard, serving morethan 300,000 people annuallyin 20 counties across Ohio,Kentucky and Indiana.

The Freestore Foodbank isthe Tristate’s largest food-bank distributing more that19 million meals annually.The organization providesemergency food assistance tomre than 7,200 individualsper month from its CustomerConnection Center in Over-the-Rhine alone.

Each of our pizzerias arselling Buddy Cards (ourtwo-for-one pizza discountcard) for the benefit of theFreestore Foodbank. We willdonate $5 from the sale ofevery $10 Buddy Card direct-

ly to the Freestore Foodbankand the nourishment andcomfort they provide to thosewho truly need help in ourcommunity.

Ultimately, our contribu-tion will help support theFreestore Foodbank’s annualgoal to distribute 16.2 millionpounds of food to meet ourregion’s growing demand. Wehope you’ll join us in our ef-forts to surpass our 2012 ef-fort of 7,000 cards sold forCincinnati.

Here’s how you can help:» Buy a LaRosa’s Buddy

Card by Dec. 31. For a full listof locations, visitwww.larosas.com.

»Donate to the FreestoreFoodbank of Cincinnati. Visitwww.freestorefoodbank.orgor www.thefoodbankdayton.

Remember childrenhere at home

Thanks to Steve Chabot forintroducing the “Girls CountAct” legislation to bring “chil-dren out of the shadows” (West-ernHills Press, Dec. 4). This at-tempt to ensure human rightsand recognition to childrenaround the world is laudable.

However, I must admit thatwhen I read the headline re-garding “bringing children outof the shadows” my firstthought was that perhaps Rep.Chabot was developing a great-er concern for the hidden chil-dren in our country who con-tinue to suffer from povertyand hunger. It seems these chil-drenwere invisible, unaccount-ed for, when our Congress soglibly voted to shut down thegovernment, thus increasingthe risk to these children andtheir families. The risk has alsobeen increased by the vote todecrease funding for nutrition-al programs for the poor.

So,yes, let’sworkfor therec-ognition of rights for childreneverywhere. Let’s also havecompassion and take responsi-bilityforourneedychildrencit-izens who often seem to be “inthe shadows” and out of therange of government concern.

LETTERS TO THEEDITOR

Dec. 11 questionDo you think Ohio legislators

should approve a bill to allowback-to-school shoppers to buycertain items free of state and lo-cal sales taxes?Why or why not?

“This isessentiallyasales taxreduction. If we really do notneed to collect so much moneyfrom the sales tax why not justreduce the tax?

“This is political smoke andmirrors designed to make thepeople sponsoring the bill lookgood at very little cost. It is asham that will create a lot ofgame playing and fraud on thedays when there is no tax, poli-tics at its worst.”

F.S.D.

“No - why single out this par-ticular group for tax-free sta-tus?Andhowwouldyouevende-termine what is a school-relatedexpense?

“What I would support: sea-

sonal tax-free shopping weeks,such as New York City offers -either a total moratorium on allsales taxfor thatperiodorno taxon a specific item such as cloth-ing, cars, furniture, etc. Thiscould be a huge boost to theeconomy.”

J.S.B.

“Now that is not a bad idea.Teachers already have sales taxexempt status for supplies, whynot students and families fortheir learningmaterials?”

O.H.R.

“Since 1965, the DepartmentofEducationhas proven that thefederalgovernmentneeds togetout of the state’s way with re-

gard to the education of chil-dren. Ohio legislators are alsoguilty, and need to stand down.

“Legislators need to fix theroads and balance the budget

and quit wasting time on abor-tion and pandering to parents.”

I’m going to have tomake sure I put makeupon before going out to thegrocery or retail store.The past couple of timesI was at these places,readers stopped me tochat. Both times I wasplanning on running in

and outquickly soI didn’tbotherwith make-up, only abit of lip-stick. Well,I had tolaugh af-terward atmy vanity.(Why did I

think no one would recog-nize me “au naturel”?)

It’s times like thosethat keep me humble! Iwanted to let each of youknow howmuch I’veappreciated the caringand sharing that happenseach week through thiscolumn. Happy NewYear! I hope 2014 bringsmany blessings to yourhome.

John addedfresh, coarse driedbreadcrumbs on top forextra crunchiness. I’mlooking forward to mak-ing this myself. John saidif you use a 9-inch by13-inch pan, you’ll getmore crunchy top sur-face area.

1 large eggplant, peeled andcut into 1⁄2-inch cubes

1 sleeve of Townhousecrackers (about 40crackers), crumbledcoarsely

1 cup whipping cream8 oz. shredded extra-sharpcheddar

1 tablespoon lemon juice(optional)

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Heat six cupswater to full boil in largepot. Add lemon juice ifdesired (some think itkeeps eggplant fromdarkening). Add eggplantto boiling water. Stireggplant frequently, itwill be floating on top of

water. Cook just untilwater starts to return to aboil, about three minutes.Do NOT overdo this stepor eggplant will becomerubbery! Drain andtransfer to sprayed two-quart casserole. Sprinklecrackers on top. Pour incream and add cheese.Stir until blended. Bakeuncovered for 1 hour oruntil it starts to brown ontop and gets a littlecrusty around edges.

Priscilla Pancoast’seasy corn pudding

Another Pancoastfavorite. Let me know ifyou want this recipe.“Everyone who tastes it

wants the recipe,” Pris-cilla told me.

No-fuss standing ribroast

One of the meat cut-ters at the grocery toldme he has success withthis holiday roast everytime he makes it. Gosh, apretty good testimonialcoming from him. Sear-ing the roast on the out-side at a high temper-ature insures a moistinside. Preheat oven to450 degrees. Season rawroast as desired. Placerib side down in a panand roast 10-15 minutes.Careful here, you mayget some splattering.Reduce oven temper-ature to 250 degrees androast until thermometerreads about 125 for rareor up to 145 for medium.The roast continues tocook at least 5 degreesmore when it’s out of theoven. Let it rest, tentedloosely with foil, forabout 20-30 minutes be-

fore carving.

Caribbean citrussalad dressing

I really like this for aholiday buffet. Let guestsdrizzle on top of saladmade with mixed greens.This can be made severaldays ahead. If you havesome fresh parsley, toss abit in. Taste before add-ing salt and pepper.Whisk together:

perature before continu-ing.
