The 14th verse of the 27th chapter of Psalms exhorts us be of good courage and to wait on the Lord.

NCH hires former Evendale chief on interim basis By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com
Gary Foust is coming out of retirement to help the North College Hill Police Department search for a new chief. Foust, who retired in 2009 as the Evendale chief, will be the city’s interim chief. He agreed to a minimum of six months and maximum of 18 months with the city at a $6,000 a month salary. Paul Toth will officially retire as North College Hill police chief in July, but will be on an accumulated leave until then. North College Hill Administrator Mark Fitzgerald said Toth would be available to work with Foust, as needed. With 33 years in law enforcement, Foust also was chief in Harrison.
We Gladly Accept Food Stamps
Fitzgerald said Foust will not only serve as chief, but will also help in Foust designing procedures for hiring a new chief. This is the first time the city has looked outside the department. Before passing its charter several years ago, North College Hill was limited by state law to hiring from within the department. Foust said he first plans to interview and assess the department and its operations. He said, from there, he will meet with the business leaders, school district officials and, most important to him, residents. “I want to get the pulse

“I hope the exhibit does justice to the stories we have been told and the photographs and artifacts that people have shared with us,” Blainey said. “I hope visitors to the museum gain a sense of what it was like to have been at Eckstein, and to have been part of such a tight-knit community. “In times that were not always easy, these students were taught to be proud of
themselves and given the belief that they could be anything they wanted to be.” She said that the project brought another benefit. “Working on this exhibit, we have reached out into a part of the community whose history isseriously underrepresented in the museum, and the community has responded with enthusiasm to our requests for help and information,” Blainey said. “As part of out mission at GHP we hope to educate people about Glendale history,” said Jack Buescher, who helped coordinate the exhibit. “This is a great chance to push the idea that everyone has history in Glendale and we want to know about it.”

The events will be at the school, 711 E. Columbia Ave., Reading. “Families coming from public schools aren’t always aware of the high school admission events that take place in the fall. With the challenges that some of the public school districts are facing, we’ve had significant interest in MND from concerned students,” director of admissions Cheri Stacey said. “We felt that it was important to provide similar events for the public school families as they make this important decision.” Information night for students and parents is at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 2. High school placement tests will be at noon Saturday, Feb. 12, and at 7:45 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 22. For more information, visit www.MND4ME.com or contact Stacey at 821-3044 or cstacey@mndhs.org.

Croley to head Vikings football program By Nick Dudukovich ndudukovich@communitypress.com
To new Princeton High School football coach Gary Croley, Vikings’ football is about greatness built on tradition. Having played under Princeton Hall of Fame coach Pat Mancuso during the early 1990s, Croley knows what it means to wear a Vikings’ uniform. “The most intersting thing about this job is that (it’s Princeton). It’s been a personal career goal of mine (to coach here),” Croley said. “It’s also a goal of mine to make sure the
Princeton prominence of old is restored.” Croley, who resides in Forest Park, recalled back to his playing days when the Vikings squared off against Moeller during a playoff game at Nippert Stadium. Croley returned a key interception for a touchdown late in the game during the contest. The new coach, who played his college ball at the University of Louisville, hopes to help his student-athletes create their own memories while putting them in the best position to succeed on, and off the field. “Everything we focus on as a
program has to be centered around our athletes and our job is to put them in the best possible spot so they can use their skills to their fullest potential, not just on the field, but in the classroom as well,” Croley said. “We want to make them well rounded student athletes so we can give them an opportunity to be successful in the future.” In the past, Croley, who lives in Forest Park, has coached at New Albany High School (Ind.), Campbell County and Scott High School. Croley has also coached at Princeton and was an assistant on the Vikings’ squad that went 8-3
and made the Division I state playoffs during the 2007 season. Dating back to 2004, the Vikings have a 29-42 record. Besides the 2007 season, the squad does not have an above .500 record during the six-year stretch. When it comes to building a consistent winner at Princeton, Croley said the team will have to get back to basics. “We just need to get back to fundamentals and get the kids focused on the game,” he said. “Football is hard work and it’s a tough sport. Fundamentals are key and the (students) must pay attention to detail.”
Cowboys ruling CHL swimming By Scott Springer

Wyoming girls win; boys fall
Wyoming’s Tony Davis (24) tries to block a shot from Madeira’s Kevin Costello (33) in the second period of their game Jan. 26. The Mustangs held Wyoming scoreless in the second quarter on their way to a 45-36 win. Wyoming played without 6-6 center Eric Price in the game who was out with the flu.

In the ever-competitive world of high school swimming, the bigger leagues have usually dominated the headlines. However, the stretch of pools that covers the Cincinnati Hills League continues to produce a level of talent that is at least comparable. As of the end of January, the school that was at (or near) the top of the standings in nearly every event was Wyoming. The Cowboys lead in seven categories in boys events, and four in girls competitions. “For a small school conference, it’s definitely one of the better ones,” coach Dave Elliott said. “Especially this year. Top to bottom, there are three teams that are really solid. Wyoming’s up there. Mariemont’s girls are good and their boys aren’t bad and Indian Hill’s a nice program.” Elliott hopes the success continues but also understands the proverbial "wall" is near. Wyoming has been in a heavy training phase and Elliott's looking to taper workouts down in the coming weeks with the district, sectional and state meets looming ahead. “We’ve really stepped up and beat a couple of our rival teams—Mariemont and Indian Hill,” Elliott said. “We’ve fared pretty well against St. X for the boys and the girls faced McAuley. But, the kids are tired. Right now, we’re still pretty ‘amped up’ and doing a lot of yardage." Wyoming's team is
heavy on juniors and freshmen which means the Cowboys will be back in the "swim" of things in years to come. In particular, Elliott likes the good nucleus of freshman and sophomore girls he had. He also has depth. Like many CHL schools have noted, more swimmers are coming out. “This is probably right around the biggest team we’ve ever had,” Elliott said. “With divers, we’re at about 64 kids. Our senior leadership has been great this year. The underclassmen have really stepped up too.” Among those senior leaders for the Wyoming boys is A.J. Burt. Burt leads the CHL in the 200 freestyle and 100 breaststroke, is second in the 200 IM, third in the 50 and 500 freestyle and fifth in the 100 free. He is swimming's version of the handyman. “He’s had a great year,” Elliott said. “(He's) kind of an all-around swimmer – he can do it all for us.” Celia Oberholzer is a senior captain for the girls who leads the league in the 50 freestyle and 100 backstroke. Senior Mariah Akinbi is the CHL's top 100 breaststroker. Elliott likes Oberholzer's focus and Akinbi's "game face." “She’s just really had some gutty swims,” Elliott said of Oberholzer. “Swimming tired, swimming through pain, swimming through back-to-back events and showing some fortitude.” “Mariah (Akinbi) pulls off some of these really
great swims during the season that you’d really think would only happen during championship time,” Elliott said. Elliott also points out senior captains Claire Gilbert and Molly Holthus for their leadership. Holthus doesn't swim year 'round, but gets her teammates ready to compete. “She gets the kids fired up and she has a great attitude,” Elliott said. In addition to Burt, juniors Eric Lethander and Patrick Dierker have "Cowboy'd up" in the water. “Eric Lethander has really come on,” Elliott said. “He’s just been real consistent all year. We went to Canton and he swam real fast. He swam real fast as the Classic meet. You can kind of count on him to step up to the competition and put himself out there.” Dierker joins senior Owen Dunbar and the rest of the talented Cowboys on Elliott's relay teams, plus the two share the CHL lead in the 50 freestyle. The weeks ahead look quite promising for Dave Elliott as he fully expects to make more headlines in the state meet. Wyoming's relays won last year and the '09-'10 boys team was the overall runner-up. Gazing into his Cowboy crystal ball, Elliott has similar hopes for this season. “For boys, to be state runner-up again would be great,” Elliott said. “I’d (also) like to win both of those freestyle relays that we did last year.” Naturally, a good Cowboy always has something to shoot for.
Local football players nab conference honors
JOSEPH FUQUA II/CONTRIBUTOR
Wyoming’s Chris Campbell (23) dives through the air as he tries to make a shot against Madeira in the second period. Unfortunately, none fell for the Cowboys as Madeira rode a 16-0 quarter to a 45-36 win in the CHL battle. Because of the flu, Wyoming had to play without 6-6 center Eric Price.
The Mid-Continental Football League announced the 2010 All Conference selections with first team, second team, third team and honorable mention categories. Named to the defense first team is DT Terrill Byrd, a Colerain High School graduate out of the University of Cincinnati; and OLB Tommy Sewell, a Western Hills High School graduate out of Ball State University.
Included on the second team is DE Sean Middlebrooks, a Western Hills graduate out of Central State. Larry Byndon, a Western Hills graduate who plays the MLB position, was named to the third team along with Finneytown High School graduate and CB Brandon Marton. Dennis Strayhorn, a Princeton High School graduate, nabbed honorable
mention honors. On the offense, Princeton High graduate Christ Stanford, a QB for Ellsworth Community, was named to the second team, along with Western Hill graduate and Ball State OG Carlos Davis Princeton grad Richard Bailey, an OG for West Texas A&M University; and OT Rob Feliciano from Winton Woods High School received honorable mention.

Let it snow … Visitors to Cincinnati.com posted these comments to a story local school districts having already used their allotted calamity days, due to the amount of snowfall this season: “I find the reasons why parents enjoy fewer snow days to be pretty selfish. They were the ones who decided to have children. If their child was sick, what would they have to do? I would rather my child to be safe than maybe getting injured (or worse) if their bus was involved in an accident. Yes, I know, there has not been many accidents where there has been children hurt, but there always that risk. As for vacation plans, that should be taken into consideration when planning. The schools have their make-up days planned when they come up with the school calendar before the school year begins. Also, it rarely changes from year to year.” SpunkJr18 “There is risk every day you walk out of the house.

Do you plan to vote for him in 2012? “I give President Obama an A+ and a long applause for his fine performance during his first two years in office.

This has resulted in an historical first by providing much better health insurance guidelines and health care security for all of our citizens. “President Obama has exercised wisdom in dealing with the destructive political forces that have relentlessly attacked him in his first two years. President Obama has tactfully defended honorable initiatives that have been inaccurately framed and unfairly resisted by power and money hungry political opponents.

Why or why not? “I competely disagree with the Sharonville City Council’s decision to give another $30,000 to the Fine Arts Council after giving the group $500,000. In a time of fiscal crisis in the city, where no jobs were cut and where they raised our recreation center fees with little notice to their residents, council has shown that they cannot be good stewards of the taxpayers money. The Fine Arts Council is supposedly a non-profit entity that city has decided to throw good money after bad. Let them succeed or fail on their own like any other not-for-profit organization.

Colon cancer screening important for anyone over 50 March is colon cancer awareness month. Colon cancer is the third most common cancer in the U.S. with 6 percent of the population developing this preventable disease in their lifetime. It affects all races and is equal in women and men, occurring more frequently after age 50. People at higher risk include those with a family history of colon cancer or polyps (especially if less than age 60 at time of diagnosis), family history of other cancers (uterus, ovary and kidney), personal history of ulcerative colitis, Crohns disease, diabetes, or obesity. Colon cancer tends to develop slowly over years as some polyps (growths in the colon lining) may become cancerous. If polyps are removed early, colon cancer can be prevented. Symptoms may occur later when the disease is more advanced and may include: change in bowel habits, frequent constipation or diarrhea, rectal bleeding, unexplained weight loss or anemia, abdominal discomfort or bloating. Many other conditions could cause these same symptoms and should be discussed with your physician. Life style modification and screening can reduce the risk of colon cancer. Maintaining an ideal body weight, regular exercise, smoking cessation, decreasing red meat and increasing vegetable and fruit consumption can be helpful. Proper screening can significantly reduce the risk of colon
cancer by up to 90 percent. Unfortunately, only about 50 percent of Americans have been screened. S e v e r a l s c r e e n i n g Dr. David options are Mangels available and Community many are covered by Medicare Press guest and major insurcolumnist ance carriers. A full colonoscopy is the most complete examination and the only method that simultaneously allows for removal of polyps during the procedure. Testing stool for hidden blood, flexible sigmoidoscopy and barium enema may be useful, but are not as accurate in detecting polyps or cancer as colonoscopy. Many medical organizations recommend a screening colonoscopy be performed at least every 10 years for average risk patients beginning at age 50. If polyps are found, follow-up intervals may be shorter than 10 years. Higher risk patients may need to be screened earlier. The American College of Gastroenterology recommends African-Americans of average risk start screening at age 45. Colonoscopy is considered the best test to prevent colon cancer when performed by a qualified physician. Colonoscopy is effective, safe and comfortable for the vast majority of patients.

Expert ambulatory outpatient centers follow strict quality and safety guidelines. Your physician’s personal quality standards to ensure a safe and successful examination include: specialized intensive training (generally a gastroenterologist), evaluation of the entire colon for polyps for more than six minutes, and detection and removal of precancerous polyps in more than 15 percent of examinations for women and more that 25 percent of examinations for men. Colon cancer is a preventable disease. Screening and early detection can significantly reduce the risk of colon cancer and needs to be done even when no symptoms are present. It is important to be screened and to encourage family and friends as well, it could save your or a loved one’s life. Dr. David G.

Lillian Hawkins, left, a recipient of the Martin Luther King Legacy Award, serves on the Princeton Board of Education. Here, she and Superintendent Gary Pack, right, present an award to Springdale teacher David Dendler.
Hawkins living the message of Martin Luther King Jr. By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
As a school board member, Lillian Hawkins has spent long hours pouring over matters that impact Princeton City Schools. As a volunteer, the Springdale resident has spent time with children at Lincoln Heights Elementary School, sharing the message of peace through a reading program there. As a church member, Hawkins has been involved with a laity ministry at Gaines United Methodist. As far as Margaret Horton was concerned, those characteristics embodied the message of Martin Luther King Jr. So Horton nominated Hawkins for the 2011 King Legacy Award, given by the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and the Martin Luther King Jr. Coalition of Greater Cincinnati. On Martin Luther King Day, Hawkins attended a reception where she was one of only three adults in the Cincinnati area to receive the service award. “It was a surprise to me,” Hawkins said. It wasn’t a surprise to her son, Lawrence Hawkins, a Springdale City council member. “Any kind of comparison or reference to Martin Luther King Jr. is special in
and of itself, because of the significance he had on this country and the world,” Lawrence said. “But this award really highlights her work in public education and within the Gaines United Methodist Church,” he said. “It’s nice to see her recognized for all that hard work.” That hard work is why Horton nominated her. “The Martin Luther King Legacy Award is given to persons whose lives reflect the characteristics and attributes of Martin Luther King Jr.,” she said. “Lillian is a person in whom I saw many of those characteristics.” Among Hawkins’ contributions are her service to the Princeton school board, her participation in Peace Pals, a program at Lincoln Heights in which books that send a message of peace are read aloud, and her work as an educational coach and consultant. “She is the type who extends herself easily,” Horton said of Hawkins. “She is a peacemaker in the way she interacts with others. “If you need someone to talk to, to soothe, to counsel, she’s that person that so many people go to.” “I do believe anything is possible if you strongly believe,” Hawkins said. “And I believe in the magic of possibility.”

Keeping poultry not for the ‘chicken-hearted’ “Oh lady,” Nipper, my cocker spaniel sighed, abruptly stopping in midgreeting, “Where have you been this time?” “Nowhere,” I replied, lying through my teeth. “You can’t lie to me,“ he continued, tapping his front paw. “I have a very good nose. If I had to guess I’d say you’ve been in a barnyard.” “OK, OK,” I admitted, “I’ve been playing with chickens.” “Now I’ve heard it all,” he said with disgust, walking over to his toy box to pick out his rubber squeaky chicken. “Two can play at that game, too, I guess …” And play with chickens I did, but it wasn’t in a barnyard as Nipper suspected; it was at the home of Jenny Durbin in Silverton. Durbin’s chickens are ornamental show birds, specialty or rare breeds of poultry that are primarily kept as

pets. Durban certainly does that, keeping them in a custom-built “Painted Lady” style coop with an attached pen that looks somewhat like a child’s
playhouse. She and her longtime boyfriend, Gordon Reed, built it after she determined that living in the garage wasn’t secure enough for her “girls.” The hens spend most of their time there, but Ms. Durbin also invites them into her home. She likes having one or more of them on her lap when she is on the computer or watching television. They also keep her company while she putters around in

the kitchen. “They’re very sweet and affectionate,” she said, “They will coo and snuggle. If I go into another room, Eleanor will squawk.” Ms. Durbin’s interest in chickens began as a child. Growing up on a farm, she raised chickens for her 4-H project. The fascination renewed when she spotted a coop in the backyard of a home in Glendale. “I was charmed,” she

A self described “stickler for details,” she researched the subject extensively. Over this time she took classes at Gorman Heritage Farm in Evendale, asked for the advice of experienced ornamental show bird keepers and turned to online resources. There was much to learn about chicken breeds, hous-
ing, hatching eggs, dietary needs, health concerns and predators. Her flock of four hens now includes Charlotte, Phoebe, Louisa (whom Ms. Durbin considers to be the prettiest but begged me not to tell the others) and Eleanor. She ordered all four by mail. There are no roosters in the brood because they are too noisy. “It’s those early morning wake-up calls!” Durban said. “Roosters make great pets but not good neighbors.” That means that when she wants chicks she has to special order fertilized eggs and put them in incubator or place them beneath her hens. Durbin eats her pet’s eggs, but would never think of, well … going any further. “I love the eggs,” she said, “Every time I collect them, I take time to thank the hens.”

Jenny Durbin holds her hens Charlotte, Eleanor and Phoebe.
She also carefully collects their droppings. “Chicken poop is golden to gardeners,” she said with a grin. “I use some myself and give the rest to friends.” Keeping chickens is a lot of fun, Durbin says, but it takes a tremendous commitment of time and effort. “It’s certainly not for the chicken-hearted!” she chuckles.
