75¢ BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Forest Park council asks for 5.75 mills in May Levy won’t add firefighters By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com

Forest Park City Council wants voters to approve a 5.75mill fire levy on the May 5 primary ballot. Council took its first step toward the ballot at a special meeting Jan. 12, voting 6-0 to put

the additional 5.75-mill levy on the ballot in May. A 5.75-mill levy would cost the owner of a $100,000 home an estimated additional $201.25 per year and would generate about $1.725 million more each year for the fire service. City officials cautioned that these are estimates. Forest Park Deputy Finance Director Andrew Levandusky says the city estimates that additional income will drop over time, assuming property values

continue to drop. The projections assume about a 5 drop percent each year. “We have to make those kinds Hodges of assumptions in our planning budget,” he said. The Hamilton County Auditor’s Office will certify the millage amounts before the final resolution to put the levy on the ballot is passed and sent on to

the Hamilton County Board of Elections. City Manager Ray Hodges said the proposed new levy does not provide funds for adding firefighters to the department. “This will allow us to continue current levels of service,” he said. Hodges says the city has a 9.7-mill fire levy in place, passed in 2008. He says without additional funds, the current level of operations cannot be sustained through 2016. The cur-

rent fire levy generates about $2.9 million annually. Hodges says other revenue for the fire fund is about $600,000. The deadline to put this additional fire levy on the May 5 ballot is Wednesday, Feb. 4, which is 90 days prior to the election. Forest Park Mayor Chuck Johnson said the city plans to have public hearings to help inform the public but no dates have been set. Council planned to vote on a second resolution Jan. 20.

Workers were undeterred by cold weather in December and continued working on a new performance stage in Mount Healthy’s City Park.

Mt. Healthy park project underway By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com

Mount Healthy’s City Park improvement is on target and this summer, residents will be able to enjoy entertainment in the park on a new entertainment stage. The city had to revamp its plans for the park when bids for planned improvements came in for more than the $100,000 Community Development Block grant received for the project. The grant money comes from the federal community development block grant program and is distributed through Hamilton County to local governments. Local governments submitted their list of project requests to the Hamilton County Community Block Grant program, then the Hamilton County Board of County Commis-

sioners conducted a hearing and will decide allocations to community projects. Hamilton County’s entitlement through the program were expected to be about $2.5 million per year. City Manager Bill Kocher said plans initial called for an 18hole mini golf course, skate park elements, a Kocher bandstand and stage, new walkways, a sound system, security system, new landscaping and lighting at City Park. The city applied for a CDB grant for the improvements in the last round of funding and was awarded $100,000. The grant wouldn’t stretch to cover all everything officials would like in the plan, so now, the city’s approaching its park improvement in phases.

Right now, Kocher says city is building the stage for the bandstand, which he says will lay the foundation for future improvements. The next improvements would include lighting, speakers, a public address system and a covering or shell for the concert/performance area, concrete paths for easier mobility, landscaping, and general park improvements. “This will give us a chance to live with the stage this summer, and see how things work before doing the next phase,” he said. “I think it will help us decide what will work best. Do we want a permanent covering for the stage area? Do the pine trees need to be moved? We’ll know better after we’ve seen the stage in use this summer.” The city’s waiting to hear whether it receives additional funding in the next round of Development Community

Block Grants. Council approved adding $110,000 for the fifth phase of the Mount Healthy Park improvement to its request for the next three-year funding round.

ABOUT CITY PARK The main entrance to the park is on McMakin Street between Perry Street and Joseph Street. The top level of the park is the home of the Mount Healthy Historical Society and the Veterans Memorial. The second level features the pool and bathhouse, concession stand, children’s playground and the Gazebo, where summer concerts take place. The third level of the park has playing fields that many adult and youth groups use for baseball, softball, soccer and football programs. The playing fields are surrounded by a .3mile walking track.

As the revenue stream for many communities in Greater Cincinnati continue to shrink, ways to cut costs remain under the microscope. Services such as community access television are being scrutinized like never before with some communities eliminating or reducing the service. One of the oldest and largest providers of community access television in the Cincinnati area is the Intercommunity Cable Commission Regulatory (ICRC). With these looming financial challenges and significant changes in the way people communicate via social media, we asked ICRC Executive Director Brad Stapleton a few questions about the history and future of community access television, specifically ICRC. He provided these responses via email. Background on ICRC – when and how did you begin? “The ICRC was started in the early 1980s by a forward thinking Sharonville council member named Aaron Mackey. This was when cable television was first coming to the area and the idea was that by negotiating as a large group, rather than small individual suburban communities, they could attract a larger, more state-of-the-art cable system. The result of that was the 60-channel, state-of-the-art, two wire, interactive Qube cable system from Warner Amex. After the system was built, some of the communities decided to pool their resources to fund and program the community access channels. The ICRC first began producing programs in 1986. “The ICRC is a prime examSee ICRC, Page A2 Vol. 77 No. 49 © 2015 The Community Press ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Not every one of the communities we serve needs a television studio, production truck or playback system but now they all have access to the services that those things provide.â&#x20AC;? How are you funded? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each cable subscriber that lives in an ICRC community pays a 5 percent franchise fee. That is 5 percent of their cable television service only, that percentage does not include Internet service or telephone. On a quarterly basis that 5 percent is then given back to the community and the ICRC - 2 percent of that 5 percent. (2 percent of the cable television bill or 40 percent of what the com-

Which is where we were back in the late 1980s. We have gained some and lost some since then. We have lost four communities in the past four years. All related to budget cuts due to funding changes at the state level, reduction of the local government fund, and elimination of the estate tax. Each one of those stressed communities that they were happy with the service, but simply could not afford it.â&#x20AC;?

ing on their phone the next day they want to know why. And they can because that is part of the service the ICRC provides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the fall when our two trucks go out to cover high school football both of those games are played back that same night at midnight. We are doing more and more with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;live televisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; over the Internet. For the sports where permissible, which is pretty much everything but football and tournaments, we make them available live over the Internet so anyone anywhere with an Internet connection can see them as they happen. Same

thing with concerts and parades and other community events, we post a link on our Facebook page and people can watch live on their computer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we are focusing on our studio services. In the past, a local mayor or township trustee could come into our studio on a Monday night and spend a half hour speaking with the host of our public affairs show and then a week later the folks at home could tune in and hear what they had to say. What we are working toward now is for that same person to come into our studio on a Monday evening, choose how they want to present their information from a variety of formats and when they walk out the door they have a thumb drive in their hand that will allow them to upload that video to their Facebook page or Twitter account and send it out immediately to all who subscribe.â&#x20AC;? Are you digital? What about high definition? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes we are digital. However we are not HD (high definition). â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not required (to be high definition), but is desired and at some point in the near future we will

make that transition. It is not up to us, it will require an agreement with the cable company. On our end we have already begun the transition by starting to upgrade our production and playback equipment so that in terms of work flow, everything is HD compliant.â&#x20AC;? What impact will this have on service? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only impact it will have on service will be significant increase in picture quality.â&#x20AC;? What is the future of ICRC? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The future of the ICRC looks strong. We have a history of being on the leading edge of technology. We were the first local organization to put video on the Internet, starting in 1999 when we posted over 200 local candidates for office on the web, long before any of the broadcasters were doing it. We were the first organization in the country to provide indexed council meetings on the web. Because we have the support of more than just one community, we can provide a higher level of service and because of that higher level of service I believe we will continue to thrive.â&#x20AC;?

Level of programming varies by community How local communities use ICRC, or other public access: Âť Anderson Township: The Board of Trustees is the only source of funding for Anderson Community Television (ACTV). The cost is $288,000 a year. Money used is from 5 percent franchise fees from subscribers. ACTVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future is uncertain with the township evaluating the value it gets for the cost. The station provides for the community the filming and playback of various governmental meetings including township and the Forest Hills Board of Education, training and use of editing bays for the residents, original programming recording in the ACTV studios. A small staff assists. Âť Cincinnati: CitiCable covers government meet-

SCHOOLS NOEBOOK Winton Woods Schools » Wright Gwyn, environmental awareness program manager for the City of Forest Park and a long-time supporter of Winton Woods City Schools, was honored at the December board of education meeting with the district’s Community Spirit Award. Gwyn, along with the Forest Park Wal-Mart, was the driving force behind the creation of the land lab at Winton Woods Elementary School. This area has a rain garden, planting beds and composting bins and was described by Gwyn as “a hands-on discovery facility.” For many years Gwyn also partnered with Winton Woods Intermediate School to sponsor the Environmental High IQ Bowl for fifth- and sixth-graders. This activity tested students’ knowledge of environmental issues in a competition that was aired on Waycross Media. The competition was replaced in 2012 by the Eco-Warriors Club at the intermediate school. Each monthly club meeting highlights lessons on ecosystems, biology, the rain forest and animal adaptations. Gwyn has also been able to bring the Cincinnati Zoo Animal Ambassadors program to the school a number of times. According to the Community Spirit award’s criteria, the recipient is a community member who demonstrates an exemplary spirit of dedication and service to the students and families of Winton Woods City Schools. The recipient leads by example, has made significant contributions to the district over a period of years and strengthens the Winton Woods community by: appreciating and celebrating student achievement and successes; serving others by giving of their own time and talents; working with a positive attitude and energy; creating and/or enhancing a sense of community for students and families; being accessible, approachable and engaging with the community. » Winton Woods High School inducted new members into National Honor Society, the nation's premier organization recoutstanding high ognizing school students who demonstrate excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service and character. » After a second-place finish at last year’s spelling bee at Winton Woods Intermediate School, Nathan Washam was looking forward to this year’s competition at the middle school. His hard work and preparation for that spelldown paid off with a first place finish for the seventh grader as he correctly spelled the word “full-fledged.” “Our spelling bee was small this year with only three contestants – Nathan, Ronald Simmons and Hayley Hobbs—but I’m proud of the students who studied their words to be a part of this year’s practice sessions leading into the spelling bee,” said Stephanie Romer, science lab teacher and spelling bee coordinator. The bee didn’t last long enough for Washam – who has severe autism and a motor tic disorder – to demonstrate that he had learned all 450 of this year’s spelling words. Spelling bee judges this year were teachers Stephanie Romer, Matt Alander, and Lisa Giblin. Gary Giblin served as pronouncer, and Lauren Kempton assisted during the bee.

A bowl of kachumbari, the Rwandan vegetable dish made by McAuley creative cooking students

concluded their semester by making toys, like Santa’s elves. The seniors planned and directed 12 preschool classes with area children over the course of the semester. They were responsible for an 80-minute class with the 2- to 5-year olds, including a theme of the day, a story, a song or finger play, games, crafts and snacks. The session concluded with a visit from Santa on the last class. As a culminating project, the seniors learned to sew homemade toys for children. Half of the young women sewed stuffed lady bugs, with buttons for eyes and spots, and half of them crafted stuffed bocks from colorful fabric scraps. » Over this past summer, students and adults at both McAuley and Mother of Mercy High Schools read the same book, “Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust,” by Immaculee Ilibagiza. Ilibagiza was a survivor of

the bloody genocide in 1994 that ravaged her native country of Rwanda. For 91 days, she and seven other women huddled silently in a small, cramped bathroom inside the home of a local pastor, while hundreds of killers searched for them and murdered her entire family, except for one brother who was out of the country. Her story is one of the power of prayer, which she discovered while in that bathroom for three months, and of forgiveness. Throughout the fall, the McAuley community has participated in discussions, writing activities, artistic expressions and other endeavors in response to this amazing and inspiring story. A sample of activities by subject area follows. Technical theatre and art – Students built a full-scale replica of the bathroom, complete with wall tiles and toilet. The bathroom is on wheels so it can be moved from place to place, finding an eventual home in McAuley’s library, where students can enter it to really feel how small it was and to imagine the horror of the 91 days.

Biology – Students inferred information about Immaculee’s life to try to determine the ecological footprint she leaves behind, and compared that to the ecological footprint of McAuley students. Health – Students studied issues of malnutrition, as the seven women were severely malnourished while hiding in the bathroom. Child development – Students researched and played Rwandan games. Science and art – Teachers are working collaboratively to bring a version of “The Million Bones” project to McAuley High School. Student representatives from each family homeroom are being trained in the construction of a ceramic bone and they will lead bone construction in their families. Every student will make a bone in remembrance of the victims of the holocaust. Students from Human Biology and Anatomy & Physiology classes will be going to the art room to construct some of the more difficult and complicated bones. Upon completion of the bones, students

will place them on the front lawn in remembrance of the victims of genocide. Creative cooking – Students researched Rwandan foods and made kachumbari, a traditional vegetable dish from Rwanda. Creative writing – Students created a graffiti wall on the outside of the bathroom replica. Music – sang “We Are Marching” in Swahili at the annual Mercy Day Mass in September. Computer literacy – Students made PowerPoint presentations about Left to Tell. Social studies – Students explored international law and the history of Rwanda. They learned about political challenges and PTSD in Rwanda. Government classes held Socratic Seminars on the role of government. One student from each class took the lead in guiding the discussion. World languages – Students are working on translations of Kinyarwanda, the language of Rwanda. They’ve taken Biblical verses relating to the Seven Sorrows of Mary and will translate them from Kinyarwanda to Spanish, French and Latin.

Satisfy that mock turtle soup craving

A couple of years ago I was walking through our patch of woods when I came across a large bucket nestled in the hillside. It was filled with silt so I decided to empty it. No kidding, that bucket Rita was way Heikenfeld heavier than it RITAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S KITCHEN should have been. The reason? A snapping turtle tumbled out from the bottom. It was early spring so it was still hibernating. My first thought was turtle soup. I pushed it back into the bucket and had it hauled up the hill. Long story short, no soup was made from that irritable creature. We let it go and it headed down the hill toward the river. That brings me to the single subject of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column: mock turtle soup. This will satisfy the many requests. Like goetta, mock turtle soup is a cherished heirloom recipe here. The former Cricket restaurant served a version, and St. Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school serves it at their festival every year. Ronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roost on the west side has it on their menu, also.

Indian oceans. Mock turtle soup originated in England in the mid 1800s. It later became popular in Germany. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have room for all the recipes so check out my website Abouteating.com for more good ones. Some original mock turtle soups were made from calfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brains. OK, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad that ground beef is the meat of choice now. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to make it, Worthmoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s canned mock turtle soup is a good bet. I spoke with Phil Haock, whose granddad started the business in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;20s. Phil said they sell hundreds of cases a week from their Cincinnati facility.

Adopt your next furry family member Cincinnati is one of the best places in the country to own a pet. With tremendous outdoor spaces, amazing health care facilities, and affordable maintenance costs, there are dozens of reasons why now might be the best time to consider adding a pet to your family. Pet ownership has tripled in the past 40 years, with more than 160 million pets in the United States, but there are still significant numbers of animals that need homes, especially those available in our local shelters and rescues. Despite such significant growth in pet ownership, estimates show that only 30 percent of all pets are adopted from animal shelters, leaving a huge population unadopted – nearly 3 million shelter animals are euthanized annually in the United States. The problem is not overpopulation; instead it is a call-for-

action to educate the community that we can make a difference. Research from The Humane Society of the Carolyn United States Evans has found that COMMUNITY PRESS more than 17 GUEST COLUMNIST million homes are planning to add a pet to their family in 2015, but haven’t decided where to go to find their new furry family member. That means if just one in every five potential pet owners chooses to adopt an animal, they can help save the lives of millions of animals, that otherwise could be euthanized. Many animals end up in shelters and rescues through no fault of their own. They are victims of circumstances beyond their control, such as an

Some people have criticized recent school closings due to cold weather. What do you think about the practice of canceling classes when the mercury dips?

“There is an old saying: ‘Better safe than sorry.’ The schools are allotted a number of “safe” days. If they use more than the allotment, days are added at the end of the school year. Frigid temperatures affect busses and parents’ cars used for transportation along with many other facets of running a school. I trust those making these decisions have safety as their main goal. They could evaluate using these off days for those ‘teachers in service days.’ Go Figure!”

T.D.T.

“I feel the policies that allow for canceling school simply because it is cold out are ridiculous. Sadly, we have become a litigation-fearing, over-coddling society of soft people. Here’s a suggestion, when it’s cold out, wear a coat. And maybe some gloves. There is no rocket science to this. If your kid is one of those that deems it critically important to wear T-shirts and shorts all year long, perhaps a couple of chilly mornings waiting for the bus would do him/her some good. The vast majority of kids I see waiting for the bus are properly attired, so a low temperature should be of no consequence. The media has become one of the chief enablers of the unnecessary school closings. One would hope for them be a little less dramatic hour after hour every time when two inches of ‘white death from the sky’ is forecast. Grow some backbone people.”

M.J.F.

“I am a volunteer for a large public venue. We have had our days of shutdown, due to weather that,

prior to the advent of litigation, heavy traffic, and what I call ‘common sense’ might have been ‘working’ days. I truly believe that the teachers view weather days as a delay in getting work done, increased possibility of extended years and a nightmare of reorganization. The administrative staff that makes these decisions probably view it as why we have paid sick days in almost every profession; to allow some flexibility in applying safe practices for all employees. “Only people that I truly imagine cheer (other than the students), when a weather day is called, are those charged with the responsibility of transporting students. I’m betting that most of them are already up and getting to their buses on mornings, before the weather day is called, if there is any doubt. Just low temperatures have not affected any of the schools that I know, unless there were associated heating or water problems. Street conditions and forecast deteriorating weather becomes as much of a ‘let’s take a guess’ for the decision makers, as we sometimes see or blame the proclamations of weather forecasters. Yes, Virginia, there is climate change and it does.”

than buying from a pet store or breeder, but many of the adoptable animals in shelters and rescues have already been spayed or neutered and are vaccinated. There are so many wonderful reasons to adopt or rescue a pet. Cincinnati is helping to make it easier for individuals and families who want to add a pet to their family, by once again bringing together the area’s best shelters and rescues to showcase their animals in one convenient location during Cincinnati’s official Pet Adoption Weekend. The region’s largest animal adoption event, My Furry Valentine, a nonprofit organization focused on bringing together adoptable animals and potential pet owners, is hosting its annual Mega Adoption Event at the Sharonville Convention Center from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 14 and Feb.

15.

With dozens of rescues and shelters, satellite adoption events around the city, and numerous vendors and advocacy groups participating, My Furry Valentine is hoping to find homes for 550 animals during the weekend event. The event is fun, family-friendly and free to attend. This year’s My Furry Valentine is hosted by phoDOGrapher and presented by Top Dog sponsors IAMS and Tri-County Mall with additional financial assistance from The Joanie Bernard Foundation. Carolyn Evans is founder of My Furry Valentine, a nonprofit created in 2012 to raise awareness for the animal rescue community through a weekend-long animal adoption event. The annual gathering has found homes for more than 1,300 pets since inception. Visit www.myfurryvalentine.com.

illness or death in the family, divorce, growing family, family relocation, or improper training and preparation from owners. These pets are healthy, loving animals. Like any other pet, they might need training to fit into a family and home, as well as patience from their new family to help them adjust to their new surroundings, but adopting an animal presents benefits that help facilitate this transition. Animals from rescue organizations living in foster homes have already had experience in a home setting and many shelters have volunteers and staff members that help people and pets with training and obedience even before they are adopted. As an added bonus, adoption can help reduce many additional costs associated with new pet ownership. Not only are shelter animal adoption fees lower

America should not support dictatorships. It appears axiomatic now, but we have supported the likes of Pinochet and Saddam Hussein and have no problems with having full relationships with countries like China. The indignation that the likes of Marco Rubio and Red Cruz are expressing about doing business with dictatorships, rings as hollow as the emptying cells of Guantanamo. As a former citizen of Brazil, whose current president was tortured under a US-backed military regime, I have to ask where the indignation of the Cuban-American politicians when other Latin Americans were being repressed and tortured by the Generals in Buenos Aires, Santiago and Brasilia back in the ’70s and ’80s? Cuba matters because it is a glaring example to the rest of the world of the problems of our foreign policy and our politics. We say we embargo the island because they are a communist dictatorship. Yet we don’t embargo China. We say we don’t like the way they hold prisoners without trial. And yet in Cuba, on Guantanamo we do the same

thing. We say we don’t think the Cuban people should live lives of deprivation, but we embargo them anyway. In short, we have made enemies Bruce Healey of the Cuban COMMUNITY PRESS people by giving GUEST COLUMNIST their government something to hold against us. We empower our enemies with embargoes. It is time for us to start making friends in our own back yard, if not actually fabricating enemies. Venezuela is unfriendly in part because we supported – or at best ignored the misdeeds of – regimes so corrupt that even Chavez looked good. Brazil, the biggest nation in Latin America and the worlds eighth largest economy is not only presided over by someone who was tortured by a regime we supported, but who we spied on as well, after she became President. Bolivia is also slipping away, and Argentina is being run by populists, that find an easy target in a superpower that ignores its closest neighbors. You

may detest Putin as much as I do, but he certainly pays attention to HIS neighbors far more than we do. Cuba matters because it is the key to closer ties with Latin America who have long viewed our relationship with Cuba as an old vendetta, a grudge unworthy of a superpower. Cuba, for its part has in the past fomented revolution elsewhere and been a thorn in our side. But since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cuba has supported talks between the Columbian government and FARC and famously exported doctors to where they are needed in many countries. No, the Cuban government is not a “Free and Democratic” government by our standards. Neither is that of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, China and many others. We don’t appear to have a problem with them. I say it’s time to build bridges and tear down fences. It’s time to promote free trade, and freedom through dialogue. Let’s start in our back yard. I’ll drink a Cuba Libre to that.

Dangers of glaucoma can be eye-opening January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month, and the doctors at Cincinnati Eye Institute need your help to spread the word about this sight stealing disease. In the United States, more than 2.7 million people over the age of 40 have glaucoma, but half of those people don’t know they have the disease. This is because, in most cases, there are no symptoms at first. In fact, as much as 40 percent of vision can be lost without a person noticing, and unfortunately, once vision is lost it can’t be restored. This is why glaucoma is often referred to as “the sneak thief of sight.” Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness in the United States. In technical terms, it is a group of diseases that cause damage to the optic nerve, resulting in a gradual loss of vision. Without treatment, patients with glaucoma will slowly lose their peripheral, or side vision, so that they seem to be looking through a tunnel. Over time, straight-ahead vision

may decrease until no vision remains. With treatment, loss of vision can be slowed, and in some cases even stopped altoDr. Linda J. gether. There is no Greff COMMUNITY PRESS cure for glaucoGUEST COLUMNIST ma, but it can be controlled. Early detection and treatment are the keys to protecting your eyes against vision loss. So, what can you do? The simple answer is, make an appointment for a full eye exam. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that adults with no signs or risk factors for eye disease get a baseline eye disease screening at age 40 – the time when early signs of disease and changes in vision may start to occur. Based on the results of this screening, your eye doctor can prescribe treatment, or suggest intervals for follow-up exams.

For those who have already been diagnosed with glaucoma, we need your help, too. We encourage you to talk to family and friends, and have a conversation about the disease. This is especially important because those with a family history of glaucoma are at a higher risk of developing it. For National Glaucoma Awareness Month, the doctors at Cincinnati Eye Institute would like to encourage you to learn more about your eye health. While age, race, and family history are important risk factors to consider, anyone can develop glaucoma. If you haven’t had your eyes checked in a few years, consider scheduling an appointment with your eye doctor. If you think you are at risk, we encourage you to take action. Don’t let glaucoma sneak up on you. After all, your sight depends on it. Dr. Linda J. Greff specializes in adult and pediatric glaucoma. She lives in Pleasant Ridge.

Basketball IQ, teamwork set McAuley apart from rest By Adam Baum abaum@communitypress.com

NORTH COLLEGE HILL —

Mount Healthy sophomore guard Nia McCormick drives the lane against Northwest’s Laniya Gresham.

Mt. Healthy defeats rival Northwest MT. HEALTHY — The Owls’ girls basketball team picked up its seventh win of the season Jan. 14 after defeating Northwest 50-38 at home. The Knights fell to 3-9 and 0-5 in the Southwest Ohio Conference.

Everyone in the city knew McAuley High School would have a good basketball team this season. And, they are. The Mohawks are ranked No. 3 in The Enquirer Division I area coaches’ poll. But most important, the Mohawks haven’t let outside perceptions or expectations derail their focus. Second-year coach Dan Wallace said his team keeps its focus on the next game. “We’re not looking at the big picture or the end of the year,” Wallace said. Coming into the season Wallace said his team’s main goal was to win the Girls Greater Catholic League. “It’s never an easy battle,” he said. “But, that’s where we set our ground work and what we’re going after.” The GGCL is a gauntlet, but McAuley has the roster and talent to handle it. The Mohawks are 6-0 in the GGCL and currently alone in first place thanks to a 55-36 win over Mount Notre Dame, who’s ranked No. 5 in the Associated Press Division I state poll, on Jan. 8.

Vogelpohl, who’s signed with Wright State, is in the top five in the GGCL in points (15.0 per game), rebounds (7.6), assists (2.5) and steals (4.5). Lambert has signed with Bowling Green and she’s third in the league in scoring (14.5) and assists (3.3) per game. Wallace described Roll as very active See MCAULEY, Page B2

Cincinnati hosts Silver Gloves tournament By Adam Baum abaum@communitypress.com

Daryl Jones fits a young fighter with head gear before a practice sparring session at the Findlay Street Neighborhood House on Jan. 14.

NORTH COLLEGE HILL — Daryl Jones has been asking USA Boxing for Cincinnati to host a big tournament for the last five years. Jones was heard, loud and clear. “I finally got it,” said an invigorated Jones, a 1972 graduate of Taft High School. Cincinnati hosted the Regional Silver Gloves boxing tournament Jan. 17-19 at Under the Weather Sports Complex in North College Hill. It’s the first time Cincinnati has hosted the tournament, which featured boxers ranging in age from 8-15. States that sent fighters to Cincinnati were Indiana, Michi-

gan, Pennsylvania and Kentucky. There were 13 local Cincinnati boxers that competed in the event. Three locals favorites included Ray Ray Robinson (14 years old), E.J. Lamar (12) and Dasean Minor (14). Robinson, a nine-time national champion, goes to Summit Country Day and will fight at 85 pounds. Lamar, a three-time national champ, attends Aiken and will fight at 90 pounds. Minor goes to Taft and fights at 119 pounds. The setup is simple. Boxers go three rounds in a fight, at either 60 or 90 seconds per round depending on the age group. There are four divisions and a range of weight classes within those divisions starting at 60 pounds and topping off at 165.

The goal is also simple. If a fighter wins three fights, he’ll have won his weight class and will have qualified for the national tournament in Missouri next month. “They call nationals the big dance, because now you’re with the big boys,” Jones emphasized. Daryl Jones, “Coach P-man,” has been in boxing for nearly 40 years. For the last five, he’s been the head coach at the Findlay Street Neighborhood House where he teaches young kids in hopes of keeping them in the gym and out of trouble. “I’m trying to save kids,” Jones said. “I’m trying to get See GLOVES, Page B2

Roger Bacon wrestling focused on progress By Adam Baum abaum@communitypress.com

ST. BERNARD — Roger Bacon High School wrestling coach Chris Harrison can still remember, not all that long ago, when one of his wrestlers would go the whole season without a single win. Those days are gone, and Harrison hopes they stay gone. The Spartans are past winless seasons, but now the concern shifts to commitment. “We’re still having a little bit of an issue with commitment,” Harrison said. “That’s where we’re struggling. We only fill eight weight classes if everyone shows up.” Practicing with only eight guys limits what the Spartans can work on. “When you’ve only got 4-5 guys in the room and mismatched they’re weight classes, it’s hard to develop a workout where everyone gets live wrestling,” Harrison said. “Live wrestling is so important — the more live

wrestling experience you get, the better.” Even with the limitations, Harrison and his guys have no problem getting excited for the second half of the season. Seniors Mike Frederick and Kevin Dihn provide leadership along with junior Brian Stentz and sophomore Zac Baur. Freshman George Vieth is a newcomer to the sport and the only freshman on the team. Harrison said the freshman has some the definition of a team, they’re like no team I’ve ever had,” said Wallace. “Our basketball IQ sets us apart from everybody else.” McAuley has two losses, both to Alter, who’s undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press Division II state poll. In those two games, circumstance that some dictated younger girls had to fill in. Wallace said that was a learning curve. “That was the turning point in our season (against Alter),” said Wallace. “Other people had to step up, which created a confidence level in our kids.”

natural ability and he seems to really be taking to the sport. The Spartans are also about to suit up junior transfer from St. Xavier, Nick Vanderwerff, at 182 pounds. Vanderwerff has some experience in Greco Roman wrestling, and according to Harrison, he’s brought an energy to the team. Dihn and Frederick are both coming off undefeated performances at the East Clinton tourna-

ment. Dihn also placed second at 195 at Norwood’s Adam Cox Memorial tournament earlier this season. Last season, Dihn had to bump up in weight to 220 so he was wrestling guys with 20-25 pounds on him. “Since Kevin’s freshman year his main goal has been to get to the state tournament,” Harrison said. “We talked about state and the kind of work you need to do to get there. He’s back at his normal weight this year so there’s really nothing to hold him back.” Stentz has really taken on a leadership role as a junior. “He’s (Stentz) really turning the corner,” said Harrison. “He’s kind of a goofball. He gets laughs and lightens the mood. He’s got a lot of heart and intensity.” Harrison hopes the numbers continue to grow. In his five years at the school he’s seen progress and they’re working toward more of that.

So, for those that listen and keep coming back, he puts gloves on those small, impressionable hands in the hope that boxing gloves will replace guns. “Boxing may not be your sport but it may lead you to something said constructive,” Jones, who used the sport to overcome his own hurdles which in-

Teal Shootout benefit expands to 4 games, includes Xavier By Adam Turer prepsports@enquirer.com

Three years ago, thenOak Hills High School freshman girls coach Matt approached Edmiston head coach Mike Arnold with an idea. The Highlanders wanted to play a game that meant more than basketball. Edmiston, now the junior varsity coach at McAuley, suggested playing a game to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Alliance of Greater Cincinnati. Last season, the Highlanders hosted the inaugural Teal Shootout. In year two, the event has expanded to include a total of eight teams and four games. “This is a great opportunity for our girls. They were really excited about it,” said Arnold. “They took a real shine to it. I think it had a lot of meaning to the girls. As it gets bigger, the girls become a little more proud of it.” This year, Xavier University has come aboard. The Musketeers game against DePaul on Feb. 8 will support the cause. This year’s event kicked off Jan. 17 when Taylor hosted Finneytown, and continues for three weeks. On Jan. 24, Oak Hills hosts Fairfield, and on Feb. 3, McAuley hosts Seton. Three Oak Hills alums serve on the board of the OCAGC and have spearheaded the Teal Shootout’s development and growth. Debbie Walter, class of 1988, is an ovarian cancer survivor. She is thrilled to see her alma mater do what it can to raise awareness. “Oak Hills is a fabulous community to be a part of. People have come out of everywhere to help me,” said Walter. “We have made it our mission to take this basketball event to the next level. It's not only a great fundraiser but also a way to create awareness of the symptoms of ovarian cancer. We have been able to grow the basketball event with the support of this community.” Walter and her husband Andy, Oak Hills class of 1987, have moved away twice including living overseas for a time. They keep coming back to the community in which they grew up. When Debbie found out she had ovarian cancer, she knew that she was in the right place back home. “It has always been our goal to move back to the Oak Hills community. It's that important to us,” said Walter. “When I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, I could want for nothing. There is always someone willing to lend a helping hand. That is just one small example of what a wonderful community we live in.” Local businesses on the west side, including Subway, CG Marketing Com-

munications, ERF Legal, Cincinnatus Savings & Loan, and Bridgetown Finer Meats have stepped up to help the cause. “Companies like these and their leaders are the hallmark of the west side,” said Walter. The OCAGC is open to expanding its annual events to include other sports. The support of local high schools and colleges helps the organization reach the most important demographic for raising awareness: women. “Having six local high schools along with Xavier University involved is huge. Our mission is to create awareness and support for survivors and their families,” said Walter. “Ovarian cancer is known as the ‘silent killer.’ Having the support of these local high schools and Xavier University is such a great resource to help educate people on the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer. High school may seem like such a young age but if we can help even just one person detect this disease early, it is worth the work.” “Our aim at these events is to not only create awareness to the students but also to their moms, grandmas, aunts and friends. This event is for all ages, girls and boys alike. Boys have moms, too.” The scope of the event has increased 400 percent from year one to year two. There are no intentions of slowing down. “Our goal is to expand the impact, and adding additional events does just that,” said Walter. “We want to keep growing it for the future. The sky is the limit. Working together with the whole Cincinnati community benefits us all in our mission to educate every person on the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer.” “Debbie and Andy have really taken the lead on this,” said Arnold. “They’ve taken it and ran with it. We didn’t realize when we started this how many people were affected by ovarian cancer, and right here in the Oak Hills community.” The organization’s goal is to reach more than 5,000 people through the Teal basketball Shootout games. Funds raised will go towards helping women of all ages identify early detection techniques using the BEAT acronym-bloating, eating difficulty, abdominal pain, trouble urinating. “This is our mission and what we aim to accomplish through these wonderful events,” said Walter. “We want to BEAT this terrible disease.” For more information or to make a donation, visit www.cincyovariancancer.org and http://tealshootout.kintera.org
