1802 Elliott House

One of Hamilton County’s oldest

Laura A. Hobson

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Although states in the East have houses going back to the 18th century, Hamilton County has the Elliott House built in 1802, the oldest remaining house constructed in Indian Hill and one of the oldest in Hamilton County.

Located at 9400 Given Road, the Elliott House has roots that go back to Northern Ireland when John Elliott relocated to the United States in 1784. He settled first in Pennsylvania and later in Ohio. The Indian Hill Historical Society gives an account of the Elliott House and its owners.

The Indian Hill Bulletin of July 3, 1981, describes more about the Elliott family.

John Elliott bought 112 acres for $450 for a mill site on the Little Miami River at the mouth of Sycamore Creek. Until they could build a cabin, the Elliotts lived in a hollow sycamore tree 11 feet in diameter.

Thus, the later name of Sycamore Creek.

The family hauled stones from the nearby river to build a large two-story house with two-feet-thick walls.

The Elliott family eventually became successful millers, with a grist mill, saw mill, flour mill, a wool carding mill and a

distillery. An old section of Spooky Hollow Road was then called the Road to Elliott’s Mills, according to the Indian Hill Bulletin, July 3, 1981, edition.

Elliott was one of the first trustees of Columbia Township in 1803, and in 18121813 he served as one of the Hamilton County Commissioners, according to Ford’s “History of Hamilton County, Ohio.”

LOVELAND – The air in the Loveland High School gym was electric as the bleachers filled on both sides with faculty and staff, and the marching band ran onto the floor through the mouth of the Loveland Tiger Monday, Aug. 20.

It was every bit the pep rally Loveland Schools Superintendent Dr. Amy Crouse hoped to kick off the new school year for teachers and staff just one day before students entered the halls of learning for the 2018-2019 school year.

“It’s a pep rally,” said Crouse, who showed up wearing the Tiger mascot costume. “It’s coming back to school hyped up to be the very best, to give your very best to kids.”

The crowd was hyped and barely settled into their seats as school board president Art Jarvis welcomed more than 500 Loveland School

teachers and administrators to the new school year.

After Crouse removed the tiger head and offered a brief greeting, assistant superintendent Robin Wiley recognized teacher Bre Sambuchino for her accomplishment as a finalist for the 2019 Ohio School Teacher of the Year. Wiley went on to recognize many teachers and staff for their service including Mary Rose for her 40 years teaching in Loveland Schools.

The band kept up the beat as each teacher recognized came roaring through the mouth of the Loveland Tiger to receive their service award. A model of boundless energy, Crouse greeted each teacher with hugs and high-fives. There was no traditional facts and figures speech. It was the energy and enthusiasm she expects to see in the classrooms for the kids.

“She wound everybody up,” said Jarvis. “This is just getting them going.

This is a great group. You walk around some of the buildings and the energy is amazing. I think it is driven from the top. Everybody wants to be part of something successful.”

Jarvis saw the energy Crouse brought as something to carry all the way to the students. He cited successful achievements like the robotics team being fourth in the world

Elliott died in 1843 at the age of 81. Elliott and his wife, Mary, are buried nearby in a cemetery behind the former Sycamore Creek Church, 8690 Spooky Hollow Road.

The house was sold in 1898 to the Sterrett family, who modernized and remodeled the house, enclosed the back stairway and covered the outside stonework. Born in 1900 in the house, Thomas S. Sterrett later wrote in a letter about the unusual part of the house because the supporting beams were

hand-hewn and white oak. He also mentioned a solid cherry stairway with walls made of stone at 16 inches thick. There was an icehouse out back.

By 1920, the property was sold to Henry S. Livingston, who deeded it to the United Jewish Social Agency. This group operated Camp Livingston, a summer camp for Jewish children, for almost 50 years. The camp used the stone house as its main lodge and built frame additions to serve as kitchen and dining areas.

The Village of Indian Hill bought Camp Livingston in 1967. In 1969 the house became part of the Outdoor Education Center used for school use.

The National Register

of Historic Places listed the house in 1976. The Elliott House Restoration Committee was formed and met from 1979 to 1981.

Progress was made with restoration using historical data and archaeological evidence. According to Indian Hill Historical Society, further fundraising efforts did not succeed, so the village sold the building in 1985. Virginia S. White describes the Elliott House in her book “Treasured Landmarks of Indian Hill” published in 1993.

Close to the Little Miami River, the old stone house, now renovated, is still standing in Indian Hill. Current owners, who declined to be interviewed, purchased the property in 2014 for $815,000. The auditor’s site lists a total of nine rooms, four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and one half bathroom. At 3,744 square feet, the house sits on approximately five acres of land.

Rotary honors valor, service in Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Three deputies who disarmed a gunman who had just shot two co-workers in an Anderson Township restaurant were among six members of the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office honored by the Rotary Club of Cincinnati on Aug. 16.

The 2018 Rotary Awards honored members of the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office for significant achievement in administration, education, valor and service.

Honorees were: ❚ Hero/Valor: Deputies Nicholas Rauen, Lawrence Mehn and Jeffrey Landis. ❚ Administrative Excellence: Deputy Robert Weber of Court Services. ❚ Superior Achievement: Major Chris Ketteman, Director of Corrections. ❚ Career Enhancement: Capt. Scott Kerr, of Corrections.

“It is an honor to pay tribute to the dedicated men and women on the front lines who keep our community safe,” said Rotary Awards program coordinator Trish Smitson of Hyde Park.

Sheriff Jim Neil said the Rotary’s motto of service above self also describes the deputies, whose accomplishments reflect outstanding service to the people of Hamilton County.

“I was elected sheriff and the deputies were deputized to protect and serve the people in Hamilton County and beyond,” said Neil. “Some of our operations have footprints in 12 to 15 counties.”

The 2018 Hero/Valor Award was presented to Deputies Nicholas Rauen, Lawrence Mehn and Jeffrey Landis.

On Dec. 13, 2017, Deputies Rauen, Mehn and Landis, without firing a shot, disarmed and captured a gunman who had shot two co-workers at a McDonald’s Restaurant in Anderson Township and was threatening to shoot himself.

The deputies confronted the gunman, who had shot his ex-girlfriend in the head and face and had shot the McDonald’s manager in the back. The Deputies calmed the gunman and convinced

him to lay down his gun. They took him into custody, gave aid to the seriously injured victims until medical personnel arrived, searched the building for additional victims and suspects and secured the area as additional law enforcement officers arrived. Rauen, Mehn and Landis calmed a chaotic scene, dealing with frightened witnesses that included workers and customers.

In their nominations, Rauen, Mehn and Landis were commended for “quick thinking and decisive actions (that) prevented additional harm to the suspect, victims or the public.”

The Administrative Excellence Award was presented to Deputy Robert Weber of Court Services.

“Deputies serve in all the Common Pleas court rooms and provide security, which means they deal with a lot of fights and violent situations,” said presenter Maj. Walt Hendrick of Court Services. He said Deputy Weber has received scores of commendations and is known for his decisive action and quick response to calmly resolve tense situations.

Weber received a Squad Commendation for assisting in the arrest of an inmate who had escaped custody and a divisional Commendation for assisting a Harrison Police Officer who was struggling with a violent suspect.

“He inspires people around him to do their job, do it well and do it professionally,” Hendrick said.

The Superior Achievement Award was presented to Major Chris Ketteman, Director of Corrections.

In his 30 years with the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office, Major Ketteman has received 54 letters of commendation. He has worked in the Patrol and Criminal Investigation services and was commander of District Three, which includes Columbia, Sycamore and Symmes Townships. In 2017 he was named Director of Corrections, overseeing myriad programs to help prisoners successfully re-enter society, including adult education, literacy, addiction recovery, veterans programs, and jail ministry programs.

With a daily average of 1,524 inmates, Ketteman determined that inmate overpopulation created an unsafe environment for staff and inmates. Ketteman implemented multiple strategies to improve the situation, including transferring inmates to jurisdictions that could accommodate them, housing inmates in double cells when possible, and relocating several non-custodial services to free more space for housing. His insight resulted in the Hamilton County Commissioners authorizing funds to refurbish existing space within the jail to increase housing capacity The Career Enhancement Award was presented to Captain Scott Kerr, of the Corrections department.

In May, 2018, Kerr became the first supervisor from the Jail Services Sec-

tion of the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office to graduate from the rigorous Administrative Officers Course at the Southern Police Institute. He was named a Dean’s Scholar, indicating students who receive an “A” or better in every course in the 12-week college-level program. The course is designed to develop informed, effective, ethically and technically competent law enforcement managers. Courses focus on law enforcement issues, diagnostic problem solving and administrative law. Applicants must pass an exhaustive entrance exam. Only a select number from across the country are accepted, and must relocate to Louisville for the 12-week program.

In nominating Kerr, Director of Corrections Maj. Chris Ketteman said “Captain Kerr is the future of law enforcement and he, now, has a valuable tool at his disposal as he directs the next generation of deputies for the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office Jail Services Section.”

The Rotary Club of Cincinnati initiated the Rotary Awards more than a decade ago to honor excellence in key public service professions. Awards honor members of the Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office (August), Cincinnati Firefighters (October), Cincinnati Police (April) and Cincinnati teachers (June).

The Rotary Club of Cincinnati was founded in 1910 as a service and networking organization with a mission to provide selfless service in the community and the world and to meet needs of children with disabilities. With close to 350 members, it is the largest Rotary Club in Greater Cincinnati. The Rotary Foundation is its philanthropic arm.

Loveland junior is youth ambassador The Southwest Ohio Chapter of JDRF recently selected Mick Shinkle from Loveland, to be a member of the JDRF Youth Ambassador program for the 2018-2019 school year.

This program accepts applicants among children who have type 1 diabetes (T1D) and who set a great example for others living with the disease.

Shinkle was diagnosed with T1D at the age of 10 and goes above and Mick beyond through their Shinkle support of JDRF and dedicated commitment to fundraising for research to find a cure.

Mick Shinkle is 16-years-old and will be a junior at Loveland High School this fall.

When asked about living with diabetes, Shinkle said, “It’s hard to have a lifethreatening condition that I can’t ever take a break from, and I had to grow up really fast because of that. In the process, I learned a lot about how my body works and how chronic illness affects mental health. I’m a stronger person because of diabetes, but wish for a cure each and every time diabetes stops me from doing something I love.”

The Youth Ambassador Program was created to empower children with T1D by giving them the opportunity to provide diabetes education to the public.

Mick is one of an estimated 30,800 residents of the Greater Cincinnati area who live with T1D. An autoimmune disease where the body destroys its own insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, T1D is often misunderstood, which is why the awareness-building aspect of the Youth Ambassador role is so important.

During the next year, Shinkle will provide health education throughout the community to raise support and awareness of type 1 diabetes. He will speak to businesses, schools, and hospitals, as well as participate in JDRF sanctioned outreach events. Youth Ambassadors have a positive outlook on life and diabetes, and also represent JDRF at various local events.

“Our youth ambassadors play a vital role for our organization by educating others about T1D and by demonstrating that it doesn’t have to hold you back,” said JDRF Southwest Ohio Executive Director Melissa Newman, “These young people serve as positive role models for the T1D community.”

Try jalapenos a new way: candied Rita’s Kitchen

Candied jalapeno peppers/cowboy candy

Rita Heikenfeld

Makes about 9 half pints. These are addictive! Awesome gift, as well.

Picking hot peppers is like picking cucumbers – the more peppers we pick, the more peppers we have.

Maybe you’re in the same situation, whether it’s peppers from your garden or the market. So try the candied jalapeno peppers. I’ve had numerous requests again for them.

Trendy restaurants are serving their own version of this alongside sandwiches and stirred into condiments. You can make them at home, like my daughter-in-law Jess and I are doing this weekend. That’s what she requested for her birthday.

And if you’re in the mood for a quick and yummy fish dish, try the roasted salmon with sweet & spicy glaze.

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator and author. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com.

Email her at rita@com munitypress.com with “Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line.

Ingredients 3 pounds jalapenos (throw in a few Serranos if you have them) 2 cups cider vinegar 5 percent acid 6 cups sugar (it’s a lot but remember, you’re candying the peppers) 1/2 teaspoon turmeric 1/2-3/4 teaspoon celery seed 3 teaspoons granulated dry garlic 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper Instructions Wearing gloves, remove stems from peppers. Slice into 1/8-1/4 inch rounds. Set aside.

Salmon with sweet and spicy glaze No real recipe but a kind of go to taste on ingredients deal. Here’s the improv version: Ingredients Salmon filets with skin Dark or light brown sugar and Dijon or spicy country mustard Salt and pepper Instructions Preheat oven to 400-425. Mix sugar and mustard.

Start adding sugar to mustard until glaze is sweet with a bit of a kick. Season fish, place skin side down on sprayed baking sheet. Coat thickly with glaze and roast until fish flakes with fork, about 10-15 minutes, depending upon size. Don’t overbake.

Bring everything else to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.

Add pepper slices and simmer 4 minutes. They will shrivel a little.

No worries.

Use a slotted spoon to put peppers into hot canning jars to within 1/4 inch of the upper rim of the jar.

Turn heat up under the syrup and bring to a full boil. Boil for 6 minutes.

Pour boiling syrup into the jars over jalapeno slices.

Insert a knife or skewer into the bottom of the jar and turn it two

or three times to release any trapped pockets of air. Adjust level of syrup if necessary.

Wipe top and sides of rims with clean, wet cloth. Why? Even a teeny particle of food that clings to rim prevents a good seal.

Remove jars. Leave them to cool, undisturbed, for 24 hours.

Allow to mellow two weeks. Or don’t! Store in pantry up to a year.

Don’t want to can peppers?

Screw on 2 piece caps and lids.

(Flat cap has to be new; screw on lid does not).

Just store in refrigerator for several months. Or freeze up to 6 months.

Kroger to ban plastic checkout bags by 2025 Alexander Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

HELLO Kroger said it will ban all plastic checkout bags by 2025.

America's largest supermarket chain said it will transition from single-use to reusable bags and ultimately eliminate 123 million pounds of garbage annually sent to landfills. That would quadruple the amount of plastic the retailer currently recycles.

Kroger currently sells reusable bags starting at $1 each. Kroger will ramp up the availability of those bags. Shoppers for the foreseeable future will still have the option of asking for paper bags.

Kroger said it is also looking to cut back or phase out plastic bags for produce and meat, but it's focusing on eliminating checkout bags for now.

The ban will directly affect a wide swath of consumers: Kroger serves 9 million customers every day at its nearly 2,800 stores in 35 states and the District of Columbia.

Kroger's Seattle-based QFC subsidiary, with 63 stores in the Pacific Northwest, will be the first division to eliminate the bags by 2019.

Besides hundreds of its namesake stores in the Midwest and the South, Kroger operates hundreds more under the Harris Teeter, Ralphs, Fred Meyer, Fry's and other nameplates.

Kroger officials said they are responding to growing environmental concerns raised by shoppers, employees, communities and nonprofits.

"The plastic shopping bag’s days are numbered," Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen wrote in an editorial submitted to The Enquirer and USAToday. "Our customers have told us it makes no sense to have so much plastic only to be used once before being discarded – And they’re exactly right."

Kroger's decision will pressure other major competitors to follow suit. With

Kroger’s ban on plastic bags will directly affect a wide swath of consumers: Kroger serves 9 million customers every day at its nearly 2,800 stores in 35 states and the District of Columbia. ALBERT CESARE / THE ENQUIRER

nearly $123 billion in annual sales, Kroger is the second-largest grocer (behind Walmart, which is a mass discount retailer that gets half its $500 billion in sales from food).

"We're the first major retailer in the U.S. to do this," said Jessica Adelman, Kroger's vice president of corporate affairs, which oversees company environmental and sustainability efforts.

Kroger uses 6 billion such bags annually, while the industry discards an estimated 100 billion bags each year.

Only 5 percent of supermarket bags are recycled by consumers. Last year, Kroger collected almost 38 million pounds of plastic for recycling in those in-store bins at the front of stores.

Additionally, Kroger recycled another 28 million pounds of plastic from other

operations for a total of 66 million pounds.

The ban comes as individual cities concerned about environmental impact have moved to outlaw such waste.

Kroger officials said they decided to implement the transition at QFC because of the division's small size and half its stores already are under a ban enacted by Seattle in 2012.

The debate over plastic shopping bags has spread across the nation.

Last year, a statewide referendum on California's 2016 ban of plastic bags fell short of repealing the law, so it remains in effect.

Kroger's Los Angeles-based subsidiary Ralphs operates under the California law. The legislation banned plastic single-use bags, but authorized a heavier plastic bag (different than standard reusable bags) designed for multiple uses that shoppers can buy for 10 cents apiece.

Hawaii (where Kroger has no stores) has a de facto statewide as its largest counties have outlawed them.

Other cities that have enacted bans on plastic shopping bags are Austin, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Other cities and counties that are beginning to crack down with fees are: Boulder, Colorado; Brownsville, Texas; Montgomery County, Maryland; New York City; Portland, Maine; and Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, several states in the Midwest, South and the West have passed laws preventing local governments from enacting their own bans: Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri and Wisconsin.

"Though the majority of bills propose a ban or fee on bags, or improve recycling programs, most enacted legislation in recent years deals with preemption of local government action," said the National Conference of State Legislators in May.

Cooper Snyder honored for Ohio education efforts Ohio Chancellor of Higher Education John Carey visited Wilmington recently to honor a life well lived in the service of others.

Carey, who oversees Ohio’s 2-year and 4-year public colleges and universities as well as Ohio Technical Centers, came to Cooper Snyder’s home in Cape May to recognize Snyder’s legacy.

Snyder, who served as an Ohio Senator from 1979 to 1996, was passionate about education throughout his career and was instrumental in helping Ohio students from kindergarten through college.

Among his many efforts to benefit students during his tenure in the Ohio Senate, Cooper Snyder pushed for the Post-Secondary Enrollment Option (PSEO), now called College Credit Plus.

PSEO enabled high school students to

take college courses free and earn dual credit during the high school day.

Snyder also advocated for mandatory kindergarten attendance; according to a proclamation by Chancellor Carey, this effort “recognized the importance of early intervention and school readiness.”

The Chancellor also noted Snyder’s support for proficiency testing which “grew out of a desire to ensure that students graduating from high school were prepared for college.”

Senator Snyder was presented by Chancellor Carey with a Certificate of Appreciation from the Ohio Department of Higher Education.

They were joined by Snyder’s son Harry Snyder, who is President/CEO of Great Oaks Career Campuses.

Viewpoints Grassroots support pays off for Wasson Way Wade Johnston Guest Columnist Community Press

Saturday, July 28 was a historic day for supporters of the Wasson Way bike and pedestrian trail. Hundreds of supporters came out to celebrate the opening of the first section of trail from Madison Road near Rookwood Commons to Tamarack Avenue behind Withrow High School. At one point during the event, Councilmember PG Sittenfeld had the whole crowd chanting “Awesome day!

Wasson Way!” As the Director of Tri-State Trails, an initiative of Green Umbrella working to connect and expand the trail system around Greater Cincinnati, I sometimes hear criticisms of Wasson Way from other communities to the tune of “Why aren’t there any trails on the west side?” and “What about Northern Kentucky?”

I’d like to give you a quick taste of the amount of behind the scenes work that has gone into making Wasson Way a reality.

That Saturday was the result of over eight years of relentless work by a committed group of passionate volunteers.

Wasson Way founder Jay Andress saw the potential for a derelict railroad corridor to transform into a vibrant linear park and trail. He shared that vision

with friends, neighbors, and politicians.

They established a nonprofit organization and organized a compelling grassroots campaign to rally support (if you’ve gone anywhere near Hyde Park, surely you’ve seen their “Let’s Build Our Trail” yard signs). They built relationships with elected officials. They told their story well to the local news media.

Ultimately, Wasson Way was able to convince the City to pay $11.8 million to buy 4.1 miles of abandoned railroad corridor from Norfolk Southern in 2016, spanning from Xavier University in Evanston to just past Wooster Pike in Fairfax.

All these steps required political strategy, time, and persistence. There were several setbacks along the way, including a number of unsuccessful funding proposals, but Wasson Way’s supporters persisted.

Since 2014, Wasson Way has been a primary focus of the City’s attention for grant opportunities. The City secured roughly $1.8 million dollars in state, federal, and private funds between 2014 and 2017, and has another $750,000 grant pending. To build out Wasson Way to either end of City-owned right-ofway, it’s estimated to cost upwards of $12 million. Wasson Way will either need to continue to lobby the City for its increasingly limited capital budget or find generous private funders to lever-

age future grants and bring the trail to completion.

Compared to the cost of roadway projects, Wasson Way and other investments to make our region friendlier to pedestrians and bikes are a drop in the bucket. For comparison, ODOT estimates the I-75 Mill Creek Expressway improvements will cost $500 to $600 million when it’s finally complete. Replacing the Western Hills Viaduct is estimated to cost $335 million. The Brent Spence Bridge is estimated to cost $2.6 billion to replace, and inflation increases the cost by $75 to $85 million every year! We can’t drive our way out of this car-dependency problem we’re in.

But if we invest in making our streets more walkable, bikeable, and transitfriendly, collectively, we can change the culture around transportation in our region.

As the demand for limited capital resources becomes increasingly competitive, investments should be prioritized in an equitable fashion. Living in a community that is walkable and bikeable should not be reserved for our most affluent neighbors. For this reason, extending Wasson Way through the underserved communities of Avondale, Evanston, and Walnut Hills to the Uptown employment hub poses greater social and economic benefit than the planned connection over expensive rail

trestles in Ault Park. Access to a safe biking route could mean the difference between being able to access employment, education, healthy food, and more or being stranded without options.

Wasson Way has been successful because folks like Jay Andress and current board president Sean McGrory keep fighting for their project. There are many established grassroots groups that have spent years working on projects like the Mill Creek Greenway Trail, Ohio River Trail West, Licking River Greenway Trail, Oasis Trail, Little Duck Creek Trail, and more. Whether it is a trail or a bike lane, there are numerous opportunities around the tri-state to make cost-effective solutions that will improve resident mobility and neighborhood vitality. We need more passionate residents to step up and advocate for safer streets for pedestrians and bicyclists in their communities. Attend a neighborhood council meeting. Convince your friends, neighbors, and coworkers to become supporters. Call your local elected officials, and setup a meeting to show them your ideas. Tri-State Trails can help. Together, we can build a transportation network that serves people, not just cars. To get involved and learn more, visit tristatetrails.org.

Beware the plea bargain when in legal case Brien Miller Guest Columnist Community Press

The most difficult part of my job is explaining to people who have been charged with a crime (usually their first) the realities of our legal system. No, we cannot meet with the judge in chambers.

In fact, I can only do so with the prosecutor present. Nobody at the court cares how many of your friends or colleagues are willing to talk about how swell or charitable you are. Very seldom do character witnesses come into play.

Even when the police have screwed up royally, prosecutors aren’t going to “see the light,” and dismiss your charges. Your attorney is required to prove a constitutional violation in a Motion to Suppress.

Note my reference to our “legal system” rather than our “justice system.” Despite that the Supreme Court of the United States, in 1935, said a prosecutor’s “interest…in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case,

but that justice shall be done (Berger v. United States),” our courts don’t have the resources to consider the differences between the accused and the deserving. Justice is uncommon.

Enter the plea bargain. The modern-day solution to a legal system ill-equipped to “do justice” allows prosecutors to dispense with most of criminal Complaints through agreements.

The best estimates are that 95 percent of accused persons accept what is ironically called a bargain, rather than risk reputational damage, financial ruin, and/or loss of freedom.

Typically, prosecutors will offer to dismiss lesser accompanying charges (i.e. running a red light or possessing a small amount of marijuana) and recommend leniency, in return for a guilty plea. Or they will “allow” a Defendant to plead to a lesser included offense that carries a shorter sentence, or just doesn’t sound as bad. Sometimes they will allow a “legal fiction,” whereby a client can choose to plead guilty to a charge that is wholly unrelated to, but less severe than, the one(s) they have been charged with.

Defendants take these deals every day.

Some just don’t like being called defendant.

Others consider the costs of a plea versus a fight. Many jump at the chance to have a marijuana conviction dismissed because it may interfere with student loans, or job prospects.

Most people who “tap out” do so because they lack confidence in the system. Or they lack confident, competent representation.

Despite that our “assembly line” legal system is designed to dispense with as many cases as possible, as quickly as possible, there are safeguards in place that attempt to insure a just result. And there are plenty reasons, both practical and personal, to fully engage the system with an eye toward winning.

When you are confronted by criminal charges, seek counsel. Find someone who understands what you are facing and can help you to understand your options. It’s regrettable that people give-in to a system that seeks to overwhelm them. But finding an attorney who will fight that system, and beat it, isn’t impossible. Trust me, we’re out here.

Probation substations help probationers succeed Steve Martin Guest Columnist Community Press

Since the late 1990’s The Hamilton County Common Pleas Court, on which I have served on since 1996, has maintained probation substations in certain communities. Currently there are substations in Madisonville, Price Hill, Clifton/Avondale, and Over the Rhine.

The idea came from Mike Snowden who is a former Cincinnati Chief of Police and later was our Chief Probation Officer.

The thought behind utilizing these substations was to give people on probation more supervision than was possible with only a downtown location. I was able to get this plan adopted despite misgivings of several judges and Probation Officers.

Periodically, I review the performance of these substations. Within the last few months I have gone to the Community Councils of East Price Hill, West Price Hill and Madisonville.

The residents in those communities believe, without exception, that those substations are working well.

By law, there are some defendants that are required to be placed on probation. I want every one of my probationers to succeed and by that, I mean to follow the law, get a job, complete their education and be out of the criminal justice system. By being in the community, these officers provide more effective supervision.

Probation officers work closely with the community and law enforcement. It is a vital part of the work of our Court. Probation Officers being in the neighborhoods help the probationers succeed. Small problems are solved

before they become big problems. Job referrals can be made promptly. If someone needs drug treatment, these officers can arrange that treatment quickly often without violating probation.

Simply put, these substations are an effective use of the taxpayer’s dollars.

In each of the communities served by these probation officers, there are community groups doing great things. As a Judge, I am proud that these probation officers participate in the community often on their own time.

They are a vital link to the citizens our Court serves.

I have long felt our Court needs to expand the use of substations. Helping probationers turn their lives around should always be a goal of The Hamilton County Common Pleas Court.

Steven Martin has served as a Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge since 1996.

Cincinnati girls soccer expects to keep dominating Adam Turer Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

New faces on pitch and sideline in Ohio boys soccer Adam Turer

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

There will be new faces on the pitch, but also new faces on the sideline for several of the area’s top high school boys soccer teams this season.

New head coaches take over at Mason, Andersonand Indian Hill.

Summit Country Day won the Division III state championship, but returns just four starters while moving up to Division II. Moeller finished last season as the top-ranked team in Division I, then graduated eight seniors.

Anderson advanced to the Division I regional final, but coach Adam Jones left to take over the men’s team at Thomas More College. The Redskins brought in alum Sam Miller to keep the momentum going, and return key players Brodie Sallows, Sam Kunkemoeller, and Brevin Andreadis.

“Any time a new coach comes in, the players adjust to new ideas, systems, and terminology. We've tried to push the players to practice their craft more by carving out training time so that they can work on their technique and ideas,” Miller said.

“The players and coaches are learning how to get the best out of each other every day. Once players are confident in their roles, the more cohesive the team becomes. We as a program are striving to get to that level of fluidity.”

Bryan Daniel takes over at Indian Hill, replacing long-time head coach Bill Mees. The Indians advanced to the district final last year. Mees is still around, assisting Daniel on a volunteer basis, sharing wisdom learned over 29 years and 327 victories at Indian Hill.

“The biggest challenge at a place like Indian Hill is being true to the tradition and history of the program, while still finding ways to move the program forward. Coach Mees did a phenomenal job for the last 29 seasons, so it is not a situa-

Cincinnati dominated Ohio girls soccer in 2017, claiming state championships in all three divisions.

The same three teams will not be able to repeat this year. With a move up to Division II, reigning Division III champ Summit Country Day will need to oust defending D-II champion Indian Hill in order to win another state title.

Indian Hill will again be led by senior Anna Podojil. The forward claimed every state player of the year honor following her junior season in which she scored 38 goals. The All-American may not be back in time for the Sept. 8 showdown with SCD, as she recovers from an ACL tear suffered during club play following the 2017 season.

If the Arkansas commit is at full strength in time for tournament play, the Indians will again be favored to win the D-II championship. As she rounds into form, younger sister Ellie Podojil, also a Razorbacks commit, and Claire deHamel will lead a squad that boasts nine returning starters. To repeat last year’s success, the team will rely on underclassmen to emerge as more confident contributors.

“They are all hard workers and set high standards for the team,” head coach Amy Dunlap said. “We are hoping some of our younger players can step up and make big contributions, notably sophomores Megan O'Brien and Faye Hardek, both of whom were instrumental as role players in our championship run last year.”

Summit Country Day is looking forward to the challenge, led by Tennessee commit Colleen McIlvenna and Iowa State commit Kennidy Belle. Both players scored game-winning goals during last year’s tournament run. McIlvenna’s name will be all over the program’s record books by the time this season ends.

While Indian Hill may be the team to beat, the Silver Knights are poised to make their mark playing up a level.

“We have a hunger to remain on top of the state rankings with many new players ready to show that they are able to fill roles that have opened with the departure of several very important players, including three playing in college,” said head coach Michael Fee. “The team

is also eager to prove that they can compete in D-II.” Fee will coach his 350th game, which will mark exactly half of the games in program history, Sept. 20. He hopes to guide the team to its third state semifinal in the past four season.

Loveland won the Division I state title and returns 11 players from that team, 16 from the postseason roster. The midfield, led by Brooke Harden, Emily Kubin, and Jordan Morrison will be the key to the Tigers’ success this season. Harden enters her fourth year as a starter. She has led Loveland to a record of 59-6-2, two state finals appearances, and a regional final appearance. The Xavier commit will finish as the program’s all-time assists leader.

Veteran depth is important, and the team will also benefit from the addition of a few talented freshman. The 2018 edition of the Tigers is eager to make its own mark in program lore.

tion where I’m looking to blow things up and rebuild or rejuvenate a struggling program,” said Daniel. “Things are in a good place in our program. I am honored to have the opportunity to maintain our high standards.”

Moeller will attempt to reload, led by 10 juniors, two sophomores, and four freshmen. Senior forward Ben Hegge, a Bearcats commit, will lead the Crusaders through what is almost certainly the toughest schedule in the state.

“We reload with our youth. We feel we have developed a system of play that can be repeatable year after year by See BOYS SOCCER, Page 2B

Cincinnati runners boast strong talent in Ohio Mark Schmetzer

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Ursuline’s Division I second-place finish at last year’s Ohio high school cross country was the best of any Greater Cincinnati team.

Improving or repeating might prove difficult for the Lions.

“We lost three of our top five runners from last year,” coach Rachel Bea said.

“Our focus is to replicate the success we had last season, but it will be a tough task. The competition in the area ensures you never get too complacent or feel any sense of comfort. In addition, we are asking girls who didn’t even compete at the state meet to fill the shoes of girls who had success at the meet.”

Ursuline’s strongest challenge will most likely come from Lakota East, which swarmed to its division’s championship Ohio High School Athletic Association Cross Country Invitational meet on Aug. 18 at National Trail Raceway, the site of this year’s championship meet on Nov. 3. Junior Danielle Horter and sophomore Carly Spletzer led the way for the Thunderhawks.

Mason coach Chip Dobson expects junior Brooke Harvey and sophomore Ava Stover to pace a Comets team that has grown to a whopping 135 girls.

“We are encouraged about our team,” Dobson said. “We bring back many of our good girls from last year and have a few new faces that look strong.”

Senior Jennifer Cooper and junior Brooke Carter lead a Kings team that won the Eastern Cincinnati Conference championship last season finished fifth in the OHSAA Invitational, one spot behind Mason.

“Four of the top individuals should improve their position or earn a position

plugging in players with high soccer IQs, a love for the game, and a willingness to work hard,” head coach Mike Welker said. “Our three seniors that start will be great leaders as our youth continues to grow into leadership roles.”

But the cupboard is not anywhere near bare across the city.

St. Xavier finished last season on a roll. The Bombers started the season 23-4, then reeled off nine wins in their next 10 matches before being ousted by Anderson in the regional semifinal. St. X returns 10 seniors, led by all-state forward Gino Geiser. The Bombers will also feature four seniors in the midfield, with Luke Rockwood, Craig Wellens, Matthew Sutton, and Michael Wampler.

“Last year’s team had a good run at the end of the season and the tournament, but one of the great things about high school sports is that every year is new and unique,” head coach Brian Schaeper said. “When you play in the GCL, you know every game is going to be a battle.”

Loveland also found its stride late in the 2017 season and returns several starters to continue that momentum. Mike Dunlap’s squad started 3-5-1, then won nine of its final 11 games. The Tigers pulled off a couple of upsets in the tournament before falling to St. X in the district final. Only one started graduated, and Loveland brings back an experienced group of upperclassmen led by Josiah Pokopac, Drew Hartman, Aiden Kopek, Keith Broermann, and Aiden Voellmecke.

Mariemont brings back 18 players from last year’s varsity team that finished 10-5-4. The Warriors will be led by a third-year starter in goal, Evan Wuertemberger.

“We return a lot of guys from last year’s team. Most of them started at some point and got plenty of experience,” head coach Erik Vanags said. ”They are eager to learn and work hard.”

Cincinnati Country Day ran into a stacked Seven Hills team in last year’s district semifinal. The Indians return nearly every starter, most of whom have started since their freshman or sopho-

on the Kings All-Time cross country record board,” coach Lynn Brant said.

Senior Sam Bush followed up on finishing 10th in the state in Division I last November by winning her division’s individual race at the OHSAA pre-season meet.

Spartan sophomore Ella Lambert finished second. Wyoming’s Riley Bahr finished fifth, helping the Cowboys finish fifth in the team race.

Depth also will be a strength for the Mason boys team that finished an areabest fourth in the state boys’ meet last season, one slot ahead of St. Xavier.

Seniors Isaiah Kelly and Jagger Vetter lead a veteran team.

“We may have our deepest team ever,” coach Tom Rapp said. “Our numbers four and five runners should be among the best in the state. The ques-

Led by Tony Buechly, Miller Lyle, Colin Sam, Cader Rowe, Riley Michalski, and Ethan Jeffries, the Indians have high expectations for the 2018 season.

“The team has an even greater level of experience and maturity,” veteran head coach Greg Hirschauer said. “Our players and staff are not really concerned with high expectations, but rather are working hard to improve as players and as a team. We are more than anything having a lot of fun playing and training as a group.”

Madeira graduated two key players, but returns a strong trio of leaders in Ryan Lienhart, Charlie Schmitz, and Ben Ramos. Like most teams in the area, finding depth on the attack will be key to advancing deep into the postseason.

“For the team to make a run in the tournament, we will have to find multiple scoring options,” Mustangs coach Tony Ripberger said. “We cannot rely on one player to do all of our scoring In the SBAAC, Western Brown is going for its third straight conference title after the program went 17 years without winning a championship.

Brennan Callow, Seven Hills, defender – Callow was the only local boy named to the American Family Insurance ALL-USA Preseason Boys Soccer Team.

Josh Medlin, CHCA, defender/midfielder– a quality two-way player who also inspires off the field, volunteering with TOP soccer.

Josh McClorey, Mariemont, midfielder – a two-time all-conference and all-city performer for the Warriors.

Austin Snowden, Wyoming, goalkeeper – the junior helped key the Cowboys’ run to the regional semifinals last year.

Grant Murray, McNicholas, midfielder – the senior leads a talented roster mixing experience with newcomers.

Conant Smith of Middletown celebrates his very close second place finish with his coach David Fultz at the 2017 OHSAA Cross Country Championships.

but long-time coach Steve Spencer points out that, while the Panthers have a large group of seniors, inexperience might be an issue.

“We will be somewhat inexperienced at the varsity level due to losing quite a few of our top seven starters from last year,” Spencer said. “Senior co-captains Michael Schenkel and Jarod Timmers ran on our top seven all year. A talented newcomer will be junior Cooper Mullen.”

Kings coach Jim Brant has been looking for a front-runner, and he may have found on in sophomore Alex Justus, who was ranked as the nation’s fastest freshman at 800 meters and Ohio’s fastest at 1600 meters.

“We’ve been a pack team in recent years without a lead runner claiming top positions,” Brant said. “We should have a pack to support the front-runner.”

Sophomore Nate Mountain is the top returning runner for the Bombers, but several of his teammates also competed in the state meet, including senior Joe Doogan and junior Tommy Walters.

“Mason returns a strong core and is the team to beat in the city,” St. Xavier coach Andy Wietmarschen said. “They have great coaching and just kept getting better each week last season. I would expect more of the same from them this season.”

head coach Todd Kelly said. “Our success this season, as it always seems to be, will be dependent on how healthy we remain throughout the season.”

Those are the established champions, but they will be challenged throughout the regular season and tournament by several capable and hungry squads. There is a strong likelihood that local teams will finish the regular season ranked in the top 10 in the state, but fail to advance out of the district tournament. The talent pool and coaching prowess in this area is possibly as deep as it has ever been.

In Division I, Fairfield, Mason, Oak Hills, West Clermont, St. Ursula, Anderson, and Mount Notre Dame will chase Loveland.

The Cougars return 11 starters, led by Becky Dean and Lexi Watson. The program welcomed new head coach Kiersten Johnson and she likes what she has seen from her team so far.

“These young women have really stepped up and taken responsibility of their program,” said Johnson. “The culture they have been creating is going to impact what happens this year and our coaching staff can’t wait to see what this season holds.”

Anderson lost just three times in 2017, twice to Loveland. With eight starters returning and 14 seniors providing leadership, the program is poised for another successful season. Xavier commit Alaina Sullivan leads the way.

West Clermont overcame the challenges that Mercy McAuley will face this year. West Clermont, the product of two high schools combining, posted a 9-6-2 record in its inaugural season.

“I was very pleased with our performance last season,” head coach Amy Kemmer said. “As a first-year program having to combine two schools, we exceeded expectations. The team really came together and played hard.”

Oak Hills is positioned to make a deep run this season, led by an experienced group of upperclassmen. Northern Kentucky commits Emily Tirey and Shelby Wall lead the way.

“We have great leadership, not just from our seniors, but really the whole varsity team has shown great leadership,” head coach Kevin Spraul said. “We’ve had younger players playing big roles for us the past few years, and now that group of players are now in their prime years as junior and seniors.”

With Summit Country Day moving up, Division III contenders are excited for the opportunity to dodge the Silver Knights juggernaut in the postseason. Cincinnati Country Day, Madeira, and Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy are the top teams vying to keep the D-III title in Cincinnati. CCD returns to D-III after competing in D-II last year. The Indians have posted a 36-4-3 mark over the past two seasons.

“We are very excited to keep building on the success of the last couple years,” said head coach Theresa Hirschauer. “We have a strong group of seniors who will bring great leadership and experience on the field.”

Division II is more than a two-team race. Mariemont will be boosted by the return of starters Ava Dorsten and Kami Spang, both of whom missed the 2017 season with injury. McNicholas will be led by juniors Mackenzie Burdick and Allison Vaughn. The combined program at Mercy McAuley could turn heads in its first year.

More players to watch Alexis Goins, Fairfield, midfielder The first team all-state player will lead a talented Indians team.

Morgan White, Fairfield, forward She's another senior all-state performer who pairs with Goins on the attack.

Maddy Pittman, Harrison, forward She scored a school-record 34 goals and added 14 assists last year.

Shriner’s Hospital welcomes Dr. Scott Rapp

50 years later - mother and daughter share unique connection to UC Blue Ash

Shriner’s Hospitals for Children-Cincinnati is pleased to welcome Mount Lookout resident Dr. Scott J. Rapp to its surgical team as an attending pediatric plastic surgeon/senior investigator.

Rapp is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery Scott and licensed to practice Rapp medicine in California, Kentucky, and Ohio.

He earned an undergraduate degree at Miami University, magna cum laude, and a medical degree from Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine.

Following an integrated plastic, reconstructive and hand surgery residency at the University of Cincinnati Med-

Fifty years after Martha OssenbeckSmith was part of the original class at the University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College, her daughter is following in her footsteps.

As UC Blue Ash College celebrated its 50th Anniversary throughout the 2017-18 academic year, OssenbeckSmith and her daughter, Shannon Chalmers, also marked a notable achievement. Chalmers is a student in the dental hygiene program at UC Blue Ash, attending the same college her mother helped open in the fall of 1967, when it was the first regional college created by the University of Cincinnati and one of the first regional colleges in Ohio.

Ossenbeck-Smith grew up in Dillonvale and graduated from Mount Notre Dame High School in 1967. She attended the new college to pursue a liberal arts education that prepared her for a bachelor’s degree from UC in political science and international affairs.

She says she enjoyed her experience at what was then Raymond Walters College (the name changed to UC Blue Ash College in 2011) and is proud that she was part of the first graduating class from the college in 1969. “I can still remember the graduation ceremony in Nippert Stadium. I think we only had about 200 in our graduating class.”

Today, Ossenbeck-Smith lives in Tennessee with her husband and recently retired after a career of working in management, first in retail and then for a charity organization.

Chalmers grew up in Blue Ash, before her parents moved to Tennessee, and was familiar with the college, but it wasn’t part of her plans after high school.

Following graduation she spent time abroad and lived in England, where she

ical Center, Rapp completed a pediatric cleft and craniofacial fellowship at Stanford Medical Center.

He is a member of the American Cleft Palate/Craniofacial Association.

Chief of Staff Dr. Petra Warner said, “I am pleased to welcome Dr. Rapp to Cincinnati Shriner’s Hospital. His expertise in plastic care and reconstruction, along with his research interest in improving craniofacial and wound outcomes, will benefit our patients and make him a great addition to our plastic surgery team.”

Rapp, a resident of Mount Lookout, also performs volunteer mission work at the William Solar Children’s Hospital in Havana, Cuba, and is a former professional soccer player.

Deer Park Community Center offers a free ‘Stop the Bleed’ course UC Health Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care is offering a free “Stop the Bleed” course at 7 p.m., Sept.

26, at Deer Park Community Center, 7640 Plainfield Road, Deer Park for medical and non-medical personnel in the community to aid in injury prevention.

The Stop the Bleed program builds national resilience by teaching the public life-saving bleeding control techniques to aid individuals in a variety of situations.

Uncontrolled bleeding injuries can result from natural and manmade di-

sasters and from everyday accidents.

If this bleeding is severe, it can kill within minutes, potentially before trained responders can arrive.

Providing bystanders with basic tools and information on the simple steps they can take in an emergency to stop life threatening bleeding can save lives.

Research has shown that bystanders, with little or no medical training, can become heroic lifesavers.

To register contact Emily Culver via email at eculver@deerpark-oh.gov or call 513-570-4318

met her husband.

In 2014, they made the big move to the U.S. and Chalmers returned to Blue Ash with her husband and their two children. It wasn’t long after that when she began focusing on a new career and learned about the dental hygiene program at UC Blue Ash. Chalmers was accepted into the dental hygiene program this past fall. A few months later she joined her mother and father as they attended the 50th Anniversary Gala at UC Blue Ash. That’s when the significance of their 50-year connection sunk in.

“I hadn’t really thought about it until attending the Gala. It became more significant having my mom there and seeing her being recognized as part of the first graduating class,” said Chalmers.

“It really hit me that this is historical.”

As a first-year student she learned the basics about dental hygiene and treating patients. In February, after a full semester of intense coursework, the new dental hygiene students treated their first patients, providing an oral health check-up and teeth cleaning.
