Neighbors who Care made 2015 brighter for many Staff report hilltoppress@communitypress.com

Many hands make light work

THE STORIES CONTINUE TO INSPIRE We asked if you knew someone who regularly embodies the spirit of Neighbors Who Care – maybe they brought you food during an illness, or looked after your house while you were gone, or cleared your driveway during snow, or helped pick up debris after a storm – or maybe they just provide a friendly face, or listen when you need to talk to someone.

We have picked some of the best, and share them with you.

Thanks to you, and to them, for making our holiday editions memorable.

Springfield Township Township projects, events and communications coordinator Kim Flamm says it’s not easy to get the Grove Banquet Hall set up after special events such as upcoming Playhouse in the Park presentations in February and April, but a group of folks from Lifespring Church led by Dick Alexander helps transition the hall which makes it easier to offer those events.

Alexander says his Bible study group approached the township and asked where volunteers would be helpful.

“We started helping at events like Winterfest,” he said. “And we kept asking where else they needed volunteers. With about 10 people, it takes us about an hour. For Kim and Thom (Schneider, director of senior services and The Grove), it was a really long night if the two of

them had to do the setting up.

“They work hard, they are dedicated and I suspect they work long hours. We appreciate them and the good work they do on behalf of the community and we want to support them.”

Flamm says the work they do is appreciated as well.“It was a nightmare,” Flamm said. “It would take two or three of us a long time. But Dick Alexander and his team from Lifespring Church have it down to a science. We are so grateful for them, as well.”

The group includes Drew Korth, Andy Smith, Dick Alexander, Santa, Betty Alexander, Amelia Teffeteller, Cassie Johnston, Jessica Fouts, Jeff Johnson, Eric Jones, Anna Meloy, Caleb Meloy, Dottie Jo Menkhaus, Bree Sigafoose, Nick Sigafoose, Rob Tankersley, Lindsay Tankersley, Mike Thom, and Lisa Zink.

Best mistake ever.

A wrong turn down an unfamiliar street by Finneytown Schools Superintendent Tyrone Olverson turned out to be serendipitous for some of his students.

Olverson was familiarizing himself with the school district, and followed Warder Drive back to the greenhouses that have stood there since 1930. Speaking with Tracy Fryburger, a grower and horticulturist, an idea germinated, and then bloomed into a program that brings students with developmental disabilities to the greenhouses to work.

Plants aren’t the only things flourishing at the greenhouse. Bobby Jung and Tyra Tait, who both work at the greenhouse a couple days

each week, have blossomed in the program, as well.

As they help place the sea of poinsettias, elephant ears and other plants in the Krohn Christmas display, both are focused on their work, helping build a festive red and white tree that towers to the roof of the Eden Park greenhouse.

Teacher Diana Erdmann is signing instructions to Bobby, who is deaf, while Tyra has a slight smile on her face as she hands the poinsettias to a Krohn worker up on a ladder.

Fryburger says the students are good workers.

“Bobby comes in, puts on his apron and gets right to work,” she said. “We teach them about the plants. They start flower pots, water plants, whatever needs to be done. Poinsettias are not easy plants to grow, but they have See KROHN, Page 2A

“When I had death in the family Linda furnished the food for the repast and Betty helped to serve the family and clean up. These are my Sisters in Christ,: she said. “I appreciate everything they do for me.” » Arnie Cohen nominated his neighbor Terry Hartley, saying his help and friendliness make him an unbeatable neighbor. Every year during the winter, Terry clears the snow on all the sidewalks on Gamma Court.

“He always has a cheery hello when you meet him during his daily walks,” Cohen said. “He is definitely an asset to the neighborhood.”

Feeding needy makes Neighbors Who Care The Helping Hands of Hope food drive is a 24year-old tradition that started in the basement of Assistant Fire Chief Mose Springfield Demasi’s Township home. The first year, Demasi and his wife, Barbara, packed boxes of food for five families and dropped it off at a foodbank. This year, nearly 200 volunteers packed around 600 boxes of food to deliver to families in need before Thanksgiving.

at Thanksgiving,” Mose Demasi said. “Then we thought, ‘there has to be a way we could do more.’”

Over the years more people became involved with the project. Demasi recruited other firefighters, churches and community members to donate and help pack boxes of food. The Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in Fairfield donated 200 turkeys this year, which allowed Demasi to spend leftover donations on more food.

Fryburger also tries to have some fun at the greenhouses with the students. They had a snow ball fight last year, and carved pumpkins this fall.

The students enjoy being at the greenhouse, as well. Windows bear Bobby’s art work, doodles drawn in condensation – moons, stars, trees, flowers – snapchats on glass that fade when the condensation disappears. His teacher says he’s comfortable there.

“The difference in both of them is remarkable,” Erdmann said. “Both of these students were good candidates for the program. They both like structure, they are good workers, and once they understand the task, they can carry on with little supervision. They transfer what they learn from job to job.

And they work hard. They get to work, and they don’t

make sure they have enough food beyond Thanksgiving, so when kids are out of school they have food to eat.”

Barbara Demasi is a nurse in public health and collects names of hungry families through her job.

The food drive was born out of her desire to help families in need, her husband said.

“The level of poverty in Cincinnati is huge,” Barbara Demasi said. “I don’t think people realize just how severe it is.”

The couple also receives names from other churches firefighters, and the community. Volunteers will deliver the food boxes directly to some of the families, but most of the food boxes are delivered to various locations for pick up.

Many of the volunteers are Cincinnati firefighters and their families, but the event has grown beyond the fire department, Demasi said. He didn’t recognize many of the volunteers that packed the union headquarters Saturday.

“We started out in our house, now it’s just grown and grown through donations,” Barbara Demasi said. “It’s amazing, it’s because of everybody here.

It would’ve never happened if we didn’t have the gifts that everyone donates.”

portant, as both students will eventually age out of high school programs and will need to find jobs. At 22, they leave school.

What’s next for them.

“I don’t know,” Erdmann admits. “But they have an array of skills that may help them find jobs.”

The program is giving them more than job skills and work experience.

“I think it’s given them a sense of purpose,” Erdmann said. “The change has been remarkable. Tyra’s confidence and self esteem have grown at the greenhouse. She smiles.

Before, in class, she was withdrawn. Now she’s answering questions in class, and she’s more engaged.

You see it with Bobby, too.

He loves being at the greenhouse.”

Erdmann says the Finneytown School District is a safe environment for students with special needs. “You see authentic acceptance from students and I think that starts with the district’s staff,” she said. “The entire community is welcoming to our special needs students.”

ACHIEVEMENTS | NEWS | ACTIVITIES | HONORS

Brent classroom offered students holiday shopping Five-year-old Mathias Nelson looks left and right as he carefully unzips his classmate Patrick’s bookbag and tucks in a small gift he has wrapped and addressed himself.

“It’s a surprise – they open their backpack and say, ‘Oh, it’s a present!” he says in a confidential whisper. “Putting presents in backpacks is kind of like Santa – but Santa puts them in your house.”

For the last 10 years, Brent Elementary teacher Darla Fiedeldey’s classroom has served as a one-stop holiday shop and giftwrap center for her kindergarten students. The shop opens the Monday after Thanksgiving and closes at winter break. Each child can shop once per day for a classmate or family member – but only if he or she writes a list out first.

“This is the most writing they’ve done all year because they’re motivated to write,” their teacher says. It’s also work on fine-motor skills – all that cutting, wrapping and taping – and a lesson in giving.

“I’m giving this to my auntie,” says Niyla Stewart, 5, of a ceramic soap dish she’s wrapping, “so her soap doesn’t spill all over the sink.”

The gifts are mostly contri-

butions from Fiedeldey and her friends and family – small gifts they bought and never gave, Happy Meal toys, freebies, holiday ornaments. To her students, they’re treasures.

“It’s funny what they pick,” their teacher says. “Sometimes they pick things they really, really want themselves, and they give them to their mom because they know they’re going to get it.”

Fiedelday says there’s another reason moms and dads and classmates get the majority of the gifts. The students know how to spell m-o-m and da-d and can look up classmates’ names on the bulletin board.

Fiedelday smiles. “I don’t get many presents – because they can’t spell my name.”

Krista Ramsey, Finneytown Local School District.

SCHOOLS NOTEBOOK Finneytown High School » Brendon West may just be a freshman, but every day in his Smart Horizons class, he’s getting a head start on what he wants to do with the rest of his life.

Smart Horizons is an online career exploration class – an elective rarely found in most U.S. high schools – that uses slides, PowerPoint and videos to give students a realistic, streetlevel view of eight career fields.

Students work at their own pace and earn certificates as they master various aspects of the job. Once a week, the students take part in co-op experiences on the school campus or in the community. In seven weeks of school, West covered three semesters of study about working as a certified protection officer.

“I’m enjoying this class, and things I enjoy I really work hard to learn about,” he says. “I can see that I have a lot of careers to choose from – security officer, the military, police officer. I just know that I want to get the people who hurt other people.”

Finneytown is able to offer the Smart Horizons class through a six-year, $7.5 million Straight A Learning Re-Engineered Grant from the Ohio Department of Education. Program facilitator Sue Polter oversees the semester course. This semester her 30 students have mastered more than 500 lessons covering careers in childcare and education, commercial driving, certified protection officer, food and hospitality, homeland security, office management, professional skills and retail customer service.

Secondary » Finneytown School is one of 10 schools nationally to win a $25,000 award from Intel. The school will use the award for safety updates and other technology improvements.

Micro Center in Sharonville was the nominating store and employee James Wiles - a Finneytown alumnus - nominated Finneytown. In the past the store has won runner-up awards of $2,500 for local school districts, but this was the first year it won the $25,000 grand prize.

“The Intel award is an amazing gift and a great vote of confidence in our school, especially because it comes from one of our graduates,” Principal Sally Thurman said. “It helps us move some of our technology goals onto a faster track, and for that we’re truly grateful.”

McAuley High School » Ten years ago, the Sophomore Pinning Ceremony was initiated to celebrate sophomores.

Ssophomores are encouraged to take on more leadership roles in school as they are symbolically and literally unified by their new pins.

The pins were blessed and blessings asked for the sophomores. Each sophomore young woman, as her name was announced, received her pin from a senior “sister” from her family homeroom.

The special pin is crafted in the shape of the McAuley crest, embossed with the school motto, representing, among other things, the light of education, the wheat of the farmer’s college once located in College Hill, the Irish background of Catherine McAuley, and the Sisters of Mercy who opened McAuley in 1960.

Whitaker Elementary » Whitaker Elementary students Kennedy Adams, Elizabeth Cain, Lucas Campbell, Xavier Sheets and Carson Smedley are part of a project sponsored

by Interact for Health and Xavier University to promote healthy habits.

The Whitaker students ran, tumbled, threw, jumped rope and sprinted at Cintas Center as cameras rolled and XU basketball coach Chris Mack talked about being active.

The footage will be turned into videos announcing the “HealthyXFActor” contest, an initiative to encourage kids around the Tristate to make healthy choices. Students will be able to submit a story or photo showing how they made a healthy decision, and win tickets to an XU basketball game or private basketball camp with Mack.

The videos with Kennedy, Elizabeth, Lucas, Xavier and Carson will show up at upcoming XU basketball games, the XU and Interact for Health web sites and other public venues.

Winton Woods High School » Dr. Saad Ghosn uses his art to say things he believes in and to show the world as he would like to dream it.

That was his message to 16 art students at Winton Woods High School during a visit that was part of the Taft Museum’s Artists Reaching Classrooms program.

“Art is the voice of the artist,” Ghosn said. “It is the way we express ourselves.”

Ghosn showed the students the woodcut he had carved for “The Road to Peace” and then the print itself. He explained that printmaking allowed an artist to make multiple copies of a work, and when used for social justice, those copies could be used in many places.

Students broken into two groups to analyze Ghosn’s art and then discuss it. Many saw themes of compassion, injustice, non-violence, freedom and protecting the planet.

Ghosn encouraged the students in their own work.

“You need to practice your art and let it grow,” he said. “It should come from within you, from what you believe in. It should come from your heart.”

said the two boys studied for the spelling bee together.

“Nico has been a good friend to Nathan and has encouraged him over the years,” Lisa Washam said. Nathan has severe autism and a motor tic disorder.

“I am impressed with Nico’s character,” she said. “He has been kind and inspirational to Nathan, and Nathan considers him as his friend. I think that Nico’s character will take him further than a win or loss in one spelling bee.”

The judges for this year’s spelling bee were Matt Alander, Lisa Giblin and Stephanie Romer. The word announcer was Gary Giblin. » Winton Woods Middle School band students Matthew Bernardo, Alex Ingram and Abra Upthegrove performed with the Junior Cincinnati Youth Wind Ensemble at University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music.

“All three students went through an audition process to be selected for the group,” Winton Woods Middle School band director Matt Buhl said. “In fact, so many kids tried out, the auditions took an entire weekend to complete.

“These students are all stars in our bands here at the middle school, so I was thrilled to see them take the opportunity to join every school's best from around the area each week.

Their growth as musicians is already evident. I'm very proud of our musical Warriors.”

THANKS TO TERESA CLEARY

» Winton Woods City Schools has changed in many positive ways in the 11 years that Tim Cleary served on the district’s board of education.

He’s been part of creating the Academy of Global Studies, implementing part-time enrollment for home school students, building the new high school stadium, and forging international school partnerships in China. It was all this, and more, that led to Cleary receiving the district’s Community Spirit Award at the November board meeting.

“It’s more than community spirit for this gentleman,” Superintendent Anthony G. Smith said. “He’s put his life, and energy and commitment into making this district a better place for all our students. His energy, his enthusiasm, his love for children, and his love for district is just a small token of who he really is.”

Cleary said some of the highlights of his time as a board member included greeting teachers at the high school on the first day of school, awarding full-ride college scholarships to students through his affiliation with Cincinnati Christian University, and working with a staff and administrators “who work hard and care about students.”

Cleary thanked the board for his appointment to the Great Oaks board and said, “I’ve enjoyed all the fingerprints I’m leaving behind in policy and facilities and the stadium. It’s been an honor to serve my neighbors.”

Friendship: Readers’ perspective requested I have run into a problem too often over the last year or so, and I believe it is time to sort it out with the help of you willing and understanding Press readers. It has to do with friendships between to apparently (though not really) different kinds of people.

One woman comes to mind who is important in my life because I feel her genuine caring for me and respect for me when she cheerfully lends me her assistance; yet, when I attempt to do little acts in return here and there to show

Joyce Rogers COMMUNITY PRESS GUEST COLUMNIST

that we are friends, I feel some barrier that I do not understand and that I cannot penetrate. She is one of a number of such “almost” friends of

mine.

I am talking about folks who are sighted who generously give of their time, talents, energy and caring in

performing endless acts of kindness for me and other people who are blind whom I know. Yet, when we want to give back in some small way here and there, our generosity and kindness is directly or indirectly rejected. We even see hurt feelings and maybe some anger in friends when we try to show our caring for them. We do not see gracious and appreciative acceptance anywhere.

What is friendship? I always thought it was a two-way street. What is out of kilter

Coming to grips with wrist injury Wrist injuries are common among young athletes. A fall onto an outstretched hand is a common mechanism of injury.

The most commonly fractured bone around the wrist with such a mechanism is the radius bone, accounting for roughly one third to one half of all wrist fractures in children.

Though less common overall, another important fracture from a fall onto an outstretched hand is the scaphoid fracture.

The scaphoid bone, a small bone that sits on the thumb side of the wrist, is the most commonly fractured carpal bone. A scaphoid fracture is difficult to diagnose as it is often not seen on initial X-rays. It can be devastating if not treated properly and can ultimately impact return to play.

Some of the symptoms include pain and swelling at the base of the thumb and increased pain with movement and gripping objects. If you think your child has a wrist injury, it’s always best to have an examination by a physician to determine the need for diagnostic imaging and treatment.

Some of the diagnostic tests may include: » X-ray: the most common

diagnostic test for a scaphoid fracture. This test utilizes electromagnetic waves of high energy to distinguish John Brehm bone from soft COMMUNITY PRESS tissues (musGUEST COLUMNIST cles, tendons, ligaments, skin, fat tissue). This test is commonly used as an initial test to determine if your child has sustained a scaphoid fracture. » Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): a radiation-free test that uses large magnets to produce detailed images of both soft tissues and bone. MRI is best for determining pathology of tendons and ligaments that cannot be seen with X-rays alone. An MRI may pick up a scaphoid fracture that a plain film X-ray misses. » Computerized tomography (CT or CAT scan): uses X-rays to produce “virtual” slices of body parts. CTs are particularly important for looking at bones. They produce images that are more detailed than typical X-rays.

Once the diagnosis of the

scaphoid fracture is made, your doctor will determine the best possible treatment plan.

The non-surgical approach involves a cast that includes the thumb. Healing time is usually four to six weeks in these instances.

If the fracture involves two separate pieces of the scaphoid bone, surgery may be needed.

Compression screws, wires and implants are some of the surgical techniques used to hold the bone together. Recovery time can vary.

At Cincinnati Children’s, we have a team of physical therapists with pediatric training to assist your child with his or her wrist rehabilitation. Your child’s therapist will work individually with your child to design a regimen aimed at restoring function.

For more information, contact the Pediatric Sports Medicine experts and make a same day appointment by calling 513-803-HURT. John Brehm has been a certified athletic trainer for the last 15 years. He is a senior athletic trainer at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and provides medical coverage for Clark Montessori High School.

Dec. 16 question Christmas is said to be a season of magic. Describe a moment of Christmas or holiday magic in your life.

“My car broke down on Christmas Eve; that’s my miracle.

“It was 1994. At the time, I was an outside salesman for a local industrial supply distributor.

We were open until 3 p.m. Christmas Eve. Everyone was in the office for the Christmas luncheon, but no one wanted to be there, especially me. I was going to go straight from the office in Winton Place to my home in Anderson, loading up the Taurus wagon with Christmas gifts, the wife, and two daughters, ages 4 and 1. We would first be going to my sister’s house for my family’s Christmas celebration, and then leaving for Dayton, to spend the night and Christmas day at my wife’s parents’ home for celebration Np. 2.

day emergency. Not my concern though, I’m getting out of there.

I got a lot traveling to do in the next eight hours. As I pull out on to Winton Road my car stops!

The engine is running, but I can’t go forward or back. Upon inspection, the right front wheel is 90 degrees to the right while the left wheel is pointed straight; a problem. Everyone from the office, including the ‘will call’ customer comes out to help. I kick the right wheel into alignment and we push the car back into the parking lot. We’re all standing there looking at the broken car.

A fellow salesman who also lives in Anderson, volunteers to drive me home, but my mind is racing: ‘What am I going to do? There’s no time to fix this situation!”

tell him that getting home is the least of my worries. At that, the ‘walk-in’ customer steps up and says, ‘I’m the service manager at Woody Sander Ford. I can get a tow-truck to get your car, and I’ll set you up with a loaner car.’

You cannot imagine my joy and disbelief.

“Joe gave me a ride to Woody Sander Ford (1-1/2 miles). The service manager got me outfitted into a small station wagon, and I was on my way home to load up the car with family and gifts.

“I thanked God for the service manager being at the exact right place at the exact right time. Later, as we were traveling, the whole picture of the miracle came into focus. If my car’s tie rod had not broken in front of the office, but instead on the highway at 60 mph...The vision of Christmas presents strewnvacross the highway, a mangled car, and untold carnage on my young family came into view in my mind’s eye. Our 1-year-old daughter at the time, has just graduated from UC. It might never have been.

with the picture I just drew for you, the readers of the Press?

What barrier are we people on the receiving side not allowed to cross, or to climb over or under or through?

Have any of you readers suffered from the same or similar conundrum, that is, have you felt as though you are always on the receiving end because you may need more assistance than others do in certain situations; and, when you have an opportunity to assist those same people,

your kindness is rejected?

I am hoping that looking at the problem with some distance and thoughtfulness and in cooler moments, rather than being smack dab in an emotionally fraught encounter, will shine some light on my predicament, a predicament that stands in the way of what I think of as genuine friendship.

Any thoughts please? My e-mail address is jarogers@one.net.

It’s time to replace Brent Spence Bridge As part of my efforts to better represent you in Washington, I routinely ask local folks what Congress can do to improve their lives and our community. One answer I hear time and again (along with simplifying the tax code and getting the federal government off their backs) is that we Rep. Steve Chabot need to reCOMMUNITY PRESS place the GUEST COLUMNIST Brent Spence Bridge.

The bridge was built in 1963 and was intended to carry 75,000 cars daily. Well, today, it is estimated that more than double that – 160,000 cars –cross the bridge every day. As a result, the bridge is now considered “functionally obsolete.” Bottlenecks on the Brent Spence Bridge cause headaches for drivers deep into Kentucky and as far north as Dayton in Ohio, and not just on I-75 and I-71, but also on side roads as people seek alternative routes to the clogged interstates.

Consequently, replacing the bridge should reduce traffic congestion and dramatically improve travel throughout the region, which is why I have long supported the project.

Over the years, I have worked with leaders from both Ohio and Kentucky to help secure more than $50 million in federal funding for the bridge, mostly to complete studies and related preliminary tasks.

More recently, our efforts have focused on creating a new grant program for nationally or regionally significant projects, for which the Brent Spence Bridge would be eligible for funding. As part of that effort, I have worked with other members of Congress to urge leadership and the administration to include the program in a long-term transportation bill.

Former Congressman Geoff Davis and I even testified before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to advocate the creation of such a program.

I am happy to report that our efforts have finally paid off, as a new grant program for large projects of national or regional significance was included in the five-year

5460 Muddy Creek Road Cincinnati, Ohio 45238 phone: 923-3111 fax: 853-6220 email: hilltoppress@communitypress.com web site: Cincinnati.com/communities

transportation bill that the House passed Dec. 3.

This is potentially a big win for Greater Cincinnati, because it finally establishes a federal framework for financing the replacement of the Brent Spence Bridge.

That said, there are two things to keep in mind.

First, Ohio and Kentucky will have to compete with other states for funding.

However, the Brent Spence Bridge is practically the poster child for this program, and should be an attractive project. Secondly, because we face an $18.5 trillion debt, the federal government can only fund a portion of the bridge’s estimated $2.6 billion price tag. The rest of the money will need to be generated locally.

Still, for the first time in years, Ohio and Kentucky have a path forward on this critically important project.

Beyond the Brent Spence Bridge, the highway bill will also help to bolster, repair and strengthen our aging transportation infrastructure, without raising gas taxes.

And it will provide states and local governments some certainty as they move forward on much-needed transportation improvements.

So, while the transportation bill is not perfect, it does set Greater Cincinnati on the road to a better, safer future.

Heath leads local Sparty contingent Mount Healthy product thrilled with huge opportunity to grab national title Mike Dyer mdyer@enquirer.com

Michigan State senior defensive lineman Joel Heath certainly made the most of his trip home in late October.

Heath, a 2011 Mount Healthy High School graduate, spoke to the Owls football team during halftime of their game against visiting Northwest Oct. 30. With the game tied at 7, Heath encouraged the younger players to seize the moment in the second half.

Mission accomplished.

“I tried to pump them up and told them to be dominant,” Heath said. “It was a good opportunity to speak to them.”

Mount Healthy coach Arvie Crouch said Heath was so emphatic you could hear a pin drop in the locker room.

“I can’t say enough about him,” Crouch said. “He is a fine young man. He’s given a lot of hard work and dedication to his family and to his Michigan State family.”

It goes without saying Heath has made the most of his opportunities in East Lansing.

And that certainly makes his parents, Chauncy and Kim, and his community very proud.

“He’s a great ambassador for us,” Crouch said. “He’s so classy. He presents himself so

well.”

Michigan State was Heath’s only Big Ten offer during the recruiting process, but coach Mark Dantonio and assistant head coach/co-defensive coordinator Harlon Barnett certainly had the confidence in him.

The fifth-year senior is one of six Greater Cincinnati players on Michigan State’s roster as the Spartans (12-1) prepare to play Alabama (12-1) in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl in the College Football Playoff semifinal Dec. 31.

The game will be played at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and televised on ESPN. This is the second straight year the Spartans will play in the Cotton Bowl.

The area players at Michigan State are senior offensive lineman Donavon Clark (Finneytown), sophomore linebacker Shane Jones (Moeller), sophomore wide receiver Trey Kilgore (St. Xavier), freshman offensive tackle Noah Listermann (Winton Woods), junior wide receiver Monty Madaris (Moeller) and Heath.

Heath, 22, was named an honorable mention All-Big Ten player by the media this season. He is one of 23 seniors on the roster.

“Things are going really well,” Heath said this week.

“The defense is playing at a high level.”

Heath, who is 6-foot-6 and 293 pounds, has 29 tackles, including two sacks, a forced

fumble and fumble recovery.

Heath is focusing on film study and said the Spartans must control the line of scrimmage against Alabama.

Originally recruited as a defensive end, Heath made the transition to tackle late in 2013.

He added 30 pounds of muscle the following summer and made his first career start in the 2014 season opener.

Heath was a game captain Nebraska Nov. 7. against Heath and Clark, along with Connor Cook and Trevon Pendleton were captains for the win at Ohio State in November.

Heath, the Associated Press Ohio Division II Co-Defensive Player of the Year as a high school senior, said his football IQ has helped him throughout this season. Running to the ball and stopping the run are his strengths.

“My motor is the biggest thing,” Heath said.

Heath graduated early with a degree in interdisciplinary studies. He has an internship with Michigan State University Federal Credit Union and learned a great deal about money management and helping others in the community gain a financial education.

Heath knows his education and football experiences will help him in the future. And he’s enjoyed every bit of time with his teammates and his multiple bowl game appearances.

But, for now, he wants two more games in a green uniform.

“It’s been a blast,” Heath said of the season. “It’s gone so fast. It’s been really fun to be a part of this team.”

Auto insurance may not cover work travel Many people understand those who use their personal vehicle to deliver pizzas need to buy special business insurance to protect them should they get into an accident while on the job.’ But, drivers may not realize that requirement applies to a lot of others as well.

Don Hunt, of Mount Orab, works for a lumber company that sends him to various job sites

to do inspections.

He uses his own vehicle to get to the sites. Earlier this Howard year he Ain ran off the road and HEY HOWARD! wrecked his truck while going to one of his inspections.

Hunt’s wife Dee says, “He either hit a slick patch or hydroplaned or

something on I-275 and he bounced from wall to wall and landed right in the center of I-275.�

Hunt filed a claim for this one-vehicle accident, but his insurance company wouldn’t pay. It said the loss was not covered because it involved, “Impermissible business, commercial or employment use.� A close look at the policy says his vehicle cannot be used during the course of any business.
