In an increasingly competitive world where businesses compete both online and from store fronts for retail dollars, Small Business Saturday Nov. 26 is especially important for the small businesses it highlights. The day is sandwiched between Black Friday and Cyber Monday and was created seven years ago by American Express as a way to help drive consumers to shop small businesses in communities across the country. Larry Grote, manager of Wood True Value Hardware, formerly Small’s Hardware in Cheviot, said the store is a little busier on Small Business Saturday, but he said traffic throughout the store does increase during the holiday week due to radio advertising. “We generally have people trickle in during the week,”
Grote said. “We’re always busy.” Grote is a big supporter of Small Business Saturday, though. “I think it’s a good idea to promote the small businesses,” he said. “That’s the way a lot of the bigger businesses started.” Joe Henke, owner of Henke Winery and Restaurant in

Westwood, said he is also a proponent of Small Business Saturday. “It brings acknowlegement that we need to support small businesses and keep them viable in the community,” he said. Henke said Small Business Saturday is typically a busy retail day for his store.
No matter the weather, there’s one tradition that’s always a go on Cincinnati’s West Side: the annual Price Hill Thanksgiving Day Parade. In its 26th consecutive year, more if you count past iterations of the event, the parade will begin its two-mile trek at 10 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 24, at the corner of Ferguson Road and Glenway Aveue. From there the parade will travel east on Glenway to Warsaw Avenue ending at St. Lawrence Parish Center. The parade was revived in 1991 by the Price Hill Historical Society, East Price Hill Improvement Association and the West Price Hill Community Council. “There are thousands of people who line the streets,” Parade Committee Chairperson and West Price Hill Community Council member Cindy Armstrong said. “It’s a big family tradition.” This year’s parade includes floats decorated by Price Hill businesses and community groups, three color guards, music from school marching bands and choirs, the St. Lawrence Eagles’ Wings Choir, and of course the arrival of Santa Claus in his sleigh. Per tradition, Armstrong said this year’s parade also includes a grand marshal and the king and queen. The grand marshal is Seton High School graduate and Miss Ohio 2016 Alice Magoto. This year’s king and queen are Price Hill business owner and Enquirer 2014 Woman of the Year Mimi Hart and her husband, Brian Gerth.

Alice Magoto, Miss Ohio of 2016, is the grand marshal of this year’s Price Hill Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Coinciding with the parade is a free, family event at St. Lawrence Parish Center. From 10 a.m. to noon, families can enjoy photographs with Santa, face painting, hot chocolate and cookies, and much more, Armstrong said. Mimi Hart said that she and her husband are honored to serve as this year’s parade queen and king. “I can think of a half a dozen people who deserve it more than we do,” she said. A lifelong West Sider, Hart said she was born in Clifton. Her family moved to Price Hill when she was 8 and she continues to live there today. The daughter of a pharmacist, she too is a phamacist and became the second generation owner of Hart Pharmacy in Price Hill, taking over the business from her father, Tom See PARADE, Page 2A

“It’s usually good,” he said. “We do see a lot of people trying to support small businesses (and) getting gift certificates and wine for gifts.” Small Business Saturday is a great day for local residents to show support and shop at the locally owned and operated businesses in their communi-

ty, but it shouldn’t stop there, Anderson Area Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Eric Miller said. “Shopping local and supporting the small businesses in our community needs to be a year round activity,” he said. “These businesses provide products and services that make our lives easier and many of them re-invest their revenues in the community by doing business with other small shops. They employ hundreds of local residents, affording them the opportunity to support their families and shop at other local retailers.” For businesses such as Mount Washington Jewelers, 2107 Beechmont Ave., Small Business Saturday and the holiday shopping season are critical to sur-
vival, according to Steve Bosse Sr. He and his brothers, Ken and Jeff, have operated Mount Washington Jewelers for 38 years. The last seven to eight years have been extra tough, he said. It’s like people have forgotten about small businesses. Some of the decline in business is most likely due to the economy, Bosse said. Fortunately for Bosse and his brothers, their watch and jewelry repairs keep them busy. They also keep the business moving by doing appraisals. General sales, however, are on the decline. More than 700 independently owned jewelry stores closed last year, he said. The industry is on pace for a similar closing rate this year. “The holiday season is so important for a small

Considering Hart’s impressive resume of volunteer service, it’s easy to understand her selection as parade queen. She is a founding member of Price Hill Will, she’s on the board of Santa Maria Community Services and Price Hill Will, she does a lot of work with addiction treatment on a volunteer basis, just to name a few of her volunteer efforts. “I’ve been very dedicated to causes that im-

Though a resident of Hyde Park, she said she has a deep connection with the Price Hill and Seton High School communities. During the parade, she will be joined by fellow Seton High School students who will provide her support now as they did while in school. As Miss Ohio, Magoto maintains a busy schedule traveling and talking to young girls about her platform – beauty unedited and defining beauty for the next generation.

SCHOOLS NOTEBOOK Elder High School » The Elder High School Band conducted it first mattress sale in August. A mattress “showroom” with quality brand name mattresses was set up at Elder in the Schaeper Center Multi-purpose room. Proceeds from every mattress sold that day benefited the Elder Band and students who had referrals. The Elder Band set a record and became the largest seller of mattresses in the nine years that this company has been doing this, selling 105 mattresses and 10 adjustable beds in just 1 day. To recognize the band’s effort, during halftime at an Elder football game, representatives from Ultimate Fundraising Solutions – Bert Harbin, Debbie Harbin, Chris Harbin, Keith Glass and Elizabeth Herzog – presented band director Steve Geis and Booster President Tracy Rottenberger with a check for $15,000. This set a record sale for Ultimate Fundraising Co. Ultimate Fundraising Solutions has been working with more than 50 local schools annually since 2008, and has helped raise almost $1 million dollars locally.

and is designed to develop students’ problem solving and STEM skills. Student “crew members” had to apply for different roles in the mission including communications, geology, engineering, navigation and medicine. Then the teambegan its space mission, but encountered several “emergencies” along the way. In trying to solve these difficult problems, the students had to work together. Students noted that all details are important. Small errors or miscalculations affected the entire outcome of the simulation. While the program is educational, students said it was also a whole lot of fun. The iSpace Camp field trip is one of four quarterly enrichment activities of the Leading Scholars Honors Program.

Tscuhiya, a Cincinnati native, is most notably known regionally for the creation of the sculptures of the Cincinnati Reds players Joe Nuxhall, Frank Robinson, Ted Kluszewski, Ernie Lombard, Joe Morgan, Tony Perez and Johnny Bench at Great American Ball Park. Some of Tscuhiya’s other commissioned works include the “Lux Mundi” sculpture of Jesus at Solid Rock Church in Monroe; Xavier University and the University of Cincinnati’s mascot sculptures; “The Spirit of Christ” at Biola University; “Recycled Atlas,” a traveling work, and the “Madden Most Valuable Protectors Award,” a trophy awarded annually to the National Football League’s best offensive line. The students were able to learn about Tsuchiya’s creative process, experiences with private and public commissioned works and the innovative sculpting strategies being developed for his next addition to Great American Ball Park, Pete Rose.

Rita’s newest clone of Williams Sonoma peppermint bark THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD
Good peppermint bark takes good technique and good chocolate.
Don’t use chocolate morsels/chips or the slabs of chocolate “bark” in the baking aisle. These may contain palm kernel oil, which may inhibit good bonding of the layers. Even if they don’t, I think the high quality chocolate bars are superior. You’ll pay more, but this bark still costs a whole lot less than the gourmet bark you buy. High quality bar chocolate will have sugar and cocoa butter listed among the first ingredients on the label. 12 ounces high-quality chocolate bar, chopped (I used Ghirardelli bittersweet - I think Wms Sonoma uses Guittard). 1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract 1 pound good-quality white chocolate, chopped (I used Baker’s white chocolate bar). 2 teaspoons oil 1/3 to 1/2 cup crushed candy canes or peppermint candy, sieved if desired - use candy made with real peppermint extract/natural flavoring
Use quality chocolate for perfect peppermint bark I swore I wasn’t going to do it this year. er told me she adds a bit of oil to the chocolate But I went ahead and did it. Made yet another “for easy flow.” Then one of my students said clone of peppermint bark like Williams Sonoshe always tempers the chocolate, meaning you ma. set aside some of the chopped chocolate and Now a lot of you know that I’ve made stir it into the melted chocolate to insure shine clones of this famous peppermint bark for and to make layers adhere. Funny, but when I several years during the holidays. I’ve come first learned to make bark, that’s exactly how I as close as anyone’s going to get cloning this made it, tempering both chocolates. famous bark, so why am I still fooling around So now I’m going backwards with the recipe, Rita with it? The reason is simple. Some of you sharing my latest detailed instructions, using Heikenfeld still have trouble with the bark’s layers septime honored techniques and ingredients. Just arating. A couple pieces separating aren’t a in time for holiday gift giving!

Find her blog online at Abouteating.com. chocolate you use and the method making the bark. Email her at rita@communitypress.com with “Rita’s A reader who is a die-hard peppermint bark makkitchen” in the subject line.
9-by-13-inch baking dish lined with foil, large enough to let some hang out over edges. Heat 1 inch of water in a saucepan over low heat until simmering, but don’t let boil. Put all but 3/4 cup of the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour in 1 teaspoon oil. Set the bowl over the saucepan of simmering water (do not let bowl touch water since this can cause chocolate to scorch or seize) and stir until chocolate is just melted. Remove bowl from pan and wipe bottom of bowl dry; keep simmering water over low heat. Gradually stir reserved 3/4 cup chocolate into bowl, a few pieces at a time, until all chocolate is melted. (Return bowl to saucepan, a few seconds at a time to help melt chocolate, if needed). Stir in extract then quickly pour into prepared pan and spread in even layer. Put in frig to harden, about 20 -30 minutes. Or let harden at room temp. Meanwhile, put all but 1 cup of white chocolate in heatproof bowl along with 1 teaspoon oil and repeat the melting process over simmering water. Remove bowl from pan and wipe bottom dry. Gradually stir in reserved 1 cup white chocolate until melted, returning bowl to saucepan if necessary as indicated above to complete melting. Be careful here, white chocolate scorches easily. Don’t overcook. Pour white chocolate over dark and spread in even layer. If you make large dollops over the top, it will be easier to spread. Sprinkle immediately with crushed candy, gently pressing into white chocolate. Place in frig to harden or let harden at room temperature. Lift out of pan and break or cut into pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Bark can also be stored in frig. Tip from Rita’s kitchen Substitute 2-3 drops peppermint oil or to taste for the peppermint extract . For step-by-step photos, check out my abouteating.com site.

Small Business Saturday - the day after Black Friday - is a perfect time to stop in and support your local independent business retailers that sell specialized, unexpected pieces. Local economies and small businesses thrive because of the revenue made during Small Business Saturday. Sixty-eight percent of the of the cost of those unique, handmade pieces bought during this event come back to the community through taxes, payroll and expenditures. Last year, 95 million people spent an estimated $16 billion at small retail establishments according to a Small Business Saturday Consumer Insights Survey. This year, experts are projecting at least $17.8 billion to be spent during this un-
official holiday. Small Business Saturday was started by BBB Accredited business American Sandra Express, and Guile BBB supports COMMUNITY PRESS this event for a GUEST COLUMNIST variety of reasons. As an advocate of the retail marketplace, BBB encourages shoppers to consider shopping locally. There are 23 million small businesses in the United States that have created 8 million jobs since 1990. They make up approximately 40 percent of all American retail jobs. The holiday season traditionally provides a boost for small businesses, and many participate in this event in an effort to create relationships with new shoppers. They hope
that the sales they make during this time of year translate into returning customers and repeat sales. Many stores have deals centered around Small Business Saturday; to find the stores in your community who are participating, visit shopsmall.org for a list of businesses.

Combatting Ohio’s opioid epidemic Recently, the Ohio Department of Health released staggering drug overdose data for 2015. Last year alone, 3,050 people died of unintentional overdoses, the highest number on record for our state. These numbers are much more than a statistic though, as many of us know someone personally struggling with addiction. Moreover, an addict’s condition not only affects their own life, but the lives of their parents, their siblings and even their children. It is clear that we must take action to combat Ohio’s pervasive opioid epidemic. The base cause of opioid addiction and the increase in overdoses can be traced to abuse of prescription drugs. The powerful prescription opioid, fentanyl, is often connected with these fatal overdoses, particularly when it is mixed with illegal drugs like heroin. Across the state, sever-
al initiatives have focused on reducing the availability of opioids that could be abused. Here in the Ohio Louis House of RepTerhar resentatives, COMMUNITY PRESS we have been GUEST COLUMNIST working with law enforcement officials to encourage Ohioans to properly dispose of unused medication and have increased the monitoring of opioid prescriptions through the Ohio Automated Rx Reporting System. The most effective action we can take to prevent drug abuse is through education. The Ohio House and Senate joined with the Attorney General’s office to form the Ohio Joint Study Committee on Drug Use Prevention Education to help kids learn about
the dangers of drug addiction so they are better equipped to make informed decisions. This committee will also examine the current status of drug prevention efforts in Ohio schools, allowing us to better prepare our students for a drug-free future. While it is certainly a priority to educate and prevent abuse of opioids, we also must be concerned with saving lives. This is why I supported legislation that grants criminal immunity to someone acting in good faith seeking medical assistance for a person experiencing a drug overdose. Ultimately, this increases the likelihood that those in the presence of a drug overdose will call for help, thus saving more lives. The passage of this bill makes Ohio the 35th state to enact the Good Samaritan Law. Furthermore, I was pleased to support House Bill 4, which
increased access to naloxone, an overdose antidote that has proven to be effective in the fight against opioid abuse and in saving more lives. If administered in a timely manner, naloxone is able to reverse the effects of a drug overdose. House Bill 4 permits physicians to administer the lifesaving treatment without a prescription to individuals who have overdosed, and it also allows pharmacists to furnish naloxone to opioid dependent patients or their loved ones. We are in this fight together and we are taking action against the opioid abuse that continues to plague Hamilton County and our entire state. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact my office at Rep30@ohiohouse.gov or call 614-466-8258. Louis Terhar represents the 30th District in the Ohio House of Representatives.
A coincidence, or something else? On Oct. 27, I had the privilege of having lunch at Diane’s Restaurant on Anderson Ferry with a friend I had not seen for 30 years. We had renewed our acquaintance April 30 as we each crossed the finish line in the Flying Pig 5K walk within minutes of each other. My friend Ann Vonder Meulen and I worked together from around 1982 to 1986 on improving the serious and unfortunate problem of people with disabilities being treated as pitiable and helpless, rather than being treated with respect, equality of opportunity, and fairness by people in this land where we are guaranteed “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Ann and I also worked with people in faith communities where respect for our gifts and abilities and the inclusion and acceptance of us were very much lacking as well, unlike the way Jesus, a Jew, treated marginalized people over two thousand years ago. Remember: Jesus asks us questions, listened to our answers, and treated us
accordingly. Pretty simple, right? In 1982, Ann Vonder Meulen, a Franciscan nun and a special educaJoyce tion teacher, Rogers and I, a wife COMMUNITY PRESS and mother of GUEST COLUMNIST three children and a former high school teacher, both knew very clearly that people with disabilities did not need help so much as a fair chance at life and love. I think we have all come a long way since the 1980s, haven’t we? The fact that Ann and I saw each other and hugged each other joyfully after 30 years tells our story. We are still friends, and we are still walking the path of inclusion with so very many good and cooperative people joining us along the way. At present, Ann is enjoying her work at St. Clement School teaching students in K through eight, most of them with learning disabil-

ities, or English as a second language. She also is teaching women from places in Latin America and Africa to sew skillfully crafted items as they make a new life for themselves and their children in our land of liberty and justice and equality of opportunity for all. Ann said she learned to sew from her mother, and she is delighted to pass those skills on to eager learners in her classes at St. Leo Church and at San Carlos in Carthage. At both locations, four long-time volunteer seamstresses work with Ann. She says that, for the learners in the sewing classes, a lot of healing and new hope is created along with the stitches. She says that such programs can be set up in other places if you contact her. She has had many generous donations of sewing machines and supplies given to the sewing classes, so expanding programs may be in order. Maybe our meeting again after 30 years was more than a coincidence; maybe it was
God’s plan to bring us together, so I could write this article and you could buy something beautiful to add joy and goodness to your life and make the world a little brighter for others. Ann is just an email message away at ann_vonder_meulen@hotmail.com if you want to invite her to a craft fair or festival with her seamstresses and their creations or explore having a sewing class at your church where people of different cultures can learn to include one another in their lives. Both Ann and I feel so grateful to God and to all of the people whom we have met in our lives in all sorts of places and circumstances for the many blessings we have received, so here is your invitation to join Ann in a ministry very close to her heart and an opportunity to enrich your lives beyond measure if you so choose. Remember that Ann is just an email away at ann_vonder_meulen@hotmail.com. Joyce Rogers is a resident of Covedale.

CH@TROOM THIS WEEK’S QUESTION Do you participate in or volunteer for any holiday giving programs? Which ones? How did you get involved? Every week we ask readers a question they can reply to via email. Send your answers to rmaloney@communitypress .com with Ch@troom in the subject line.
Nov. 16 question If you could appoint one member of President-elect Trump’s cabinet, whom would you appoint, to what position, and why?
“I would appoint Kanye West as Trump’s Secretary of Commerce. He knows how to move merchandise across multiple media channels and through a diversified market. “Also, Kayne can help Trump appeal to minority groups he marginalized during the presidential campaign. “Further, this will help create the illusion that Trump didn’t actively solicit and accept the support of white supremacist groups.” C.S.
“I am hoping Trump does not appoint any of his family to cabinet positions. I also hope he can dump or trim some of these positions/departments and let the states run their own programs, e.g. the departments of energy and the EPA, housing and urban development, education to name a few. Once Obamacare is dumped he can cut back the IRS too. There is too much overlap and overhead in Washington. “There were several presidential nominees who seemed to have good ideas for the USA going forward. Perhaps Trump could look at them also. Carly Fiorini comes to mind as someone who has had a real job and might be able to contribute to the Dept. of Labor or Commerce. With her Secretary of State credentials I hope he appoints Hillary Clinton as an ambassador to either Libya or Syria. Karma, Go Figure!” T.D.T.
Nov. 9 question You have probably heard the saying, “If I knew then what I know now.” What do you know now that you wish you knew then?
“Not my quote but fitting for this week’s question: “When you’re 15 you are so worried about what everyone thinks about you. “When you’re 35 you are so worried about what others think about your kids. “When you’re 55 you really don’t care what others think about you.... “When you’re 75 you finally realize nobody was thinking about you all along. “That, plus always listen to your lawyer, are what I am glad I know now, but wish I had known then.”

WESTWOOD - It was a pretty average basketball season for Mercy last season. The Bobcats finished 12-12 and 4-6 in the Girls Greater Catholic League. They averaged 49.8 points per game and allowed 50.4. It was a middle-of-the-row season, which can often have a formative impact on a team the following year. The good news is the Bobcats have an experience roster back, and a team that’s capable of playing balanced and competing. The Bobcats return four legitimate starters, led by seniors Maddie Haberthy, Sarah Leyendecker, Jennifer Ramsey and sophomore Jenna Schoster. Haberthy, a three-year starter, is an experience leader who can knock down shots. She averaged 12.1 points, 2.2 assists and 2.2 steals, and hit a team-high 43 3-pointers. Leyendecker, a 6-foot-3 post player who recently signed to play at Akron, missed half of last season, but longtime Mercy coach Mary Jo Huismann said she’s “really become strong around the basket and has an outside shot.” Leyendecker averaged 8.4 points and 5.8 rebounds last season. Huismann said Ramsey, who led Mercy in steals (2.9) last season, is the quickest guard in the city and she’s improved her defense and rebounding. Schoster, a true point guard, started as a freshman and she’s improved, per Huismann, so the Bobcats could be a team to watch this year. “We do have the experience to have a good season,” said Huismann. “We have 7-8 players that could be starting. We have four guards to start so that is a great problem.” Mercy will need to get off to a better start. Last season, without Leyendecker, Mercy started the season 0-5. This year, Mercy starts on the road at Alter Nov. 26, then at home against Anderson Nov. 30. Oak Hills has an experienced, close-knit girls basketball team this season. The Highlanders return four starters from a team that went 13-10 and 9-7 in the Greater Miami Conference last season. Michael Arnold, who’s entering his fourth season as head coach at Oak Hills, said

Oak Hills guard Carlie Hulette brings the ball upcourt at Mercy last season.
having seven players back with varsity experience is what he likes most about his team. Oak Hills could have room to move up in the GMC, too, considering the caliber of players who graduated in the spring. Senior guard Carlie Hulette led the Highlanders in scoring last season (13.3 points per game) to go with her 3.2 rebounds which earned her second-team AllGMC. Senior forward Molly Nieman and junior forward Baylie Wieck are both back in the starting lineup and should give Oak Hills a presence in the paint. Nieman averaged 4.7 points and 4.5 rebounds last season, while Wieck posted 5.3 points and 5.3 boards per game. Junior guard Keyrstin Fisher started last season, and senior Haley Scott played big minutes all season. Scott averaged 4.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and played just 14 minutes per game. The Highlanders will get a big test right out of the gate against defending GMC champion Lakota West at Oak Hills on Nov. 30. Princeton visits on Dec. 3, before a big road game at Mason on Dec. 7. Under a new head coach, Seton’s basketball team will attempt to improve on last season’s 7-16 overall record. Losing Stefanie Autenrieb and Madison Morgan to graduation hurts, as does playing in the always tough Girls Greater Catholic League.

With precision and execution, La Salle punished Miamisburg Friday night at Mason in a Division II regional football final, 45-14, to win its 13th consecutive playoff game, and advance to the state semifinals for the third straight season. La Salle (11-2), the No. 3 seed in Region 8, put a pace on No. 4 Miamisburg (10-3) that the Vikings couldn’t handle. “We’re a weird team,” said La Salle coach Jim Hilvert. “I really honestly believe when we put things together we can do things like this. I thought our guys ... they’re feeling it. “It’s the regional championship; it’s the state semifinals (now) ... they know. I know you guys have mentioned about being a three-time champion at Division II; no one’s ever done that. We talk about leaving our mark, leaving our legacy and our guys definitely want to be able to do that.” La Salle looked like the two-time defending state champion right out of the gate. Junior quarterback Griffin Merritt hit his 6foot-7 wideout Josh Whyle for a 28-yard gain on the first play, and eight plays later senior Jarell White finished off a 15yard touchdown run to put the Lancers on top 7-0. Miamisburg came in with a vaunted rushing attack – led by the 6foot-6, 310-pound senior Josh Myers, an Ohio State commit and the topranked recruit in Ohio – that amassed more than 3,000 yards and 47 touchdowns in the first 12 weeks. But La Salle’s defense dug in and made it an uncomfortable night for the Vikings. A quick start for La Salle usually means a quick death for opponents, especially when Merritt’s making defenses look discombobulated from the onset. Merritt was 7 of 10 for 154 yards and two touchdowns, and La Salle’s first-team offense didn’t punt all night. Conversely, Miamisburg, making its first regional final appearance in school history, committed a penalty on its first offensive play – it was that kind of night for the Vikings. A few plays later, La Salle senior cornerback Da’Meak Brandon
HAMILTON - For the second week in a row, Virgil Schwarm Stadium in Hamilton hosted an overtime playoff game. And, for the second week in a row, St. Xavier senior quarterback Sean Clifford came off the bench to lead the Bombers to the win. Clifford ran for 171 yards and two touchdowns and was 19of-27 passing for 229 yards for two more scores as St. Xavier defeated Sycamore 35-28 in one extra period. Clifford’s winning touchdown toss to Andrew Wittrock was the Bombers’ first lead of a game that was controlled by Sycamore for quite awhile. After not starting, Clifford left Hamilton with a trophy in hand and a smile. “I wasn’t called at the beginning, but when my team called me I knew I had to step up,” Clifford said. “I have to give a lot of credit to my offensive line. I couldn’t have done it without them. This was a lot fun.” The Bombers have gone from 4-5 and needing a win to sneak into the playoffs to 8-5 and a pair of wins from a Division I state title. “They don’t quit. They keep fighting and keep plugging,” a jubilant St. Xavier coach Steve Specht said. “We don’t play smart, but we play awful hard.” Sycamore went on a drive that nearly lasted six minutes to start the game after holding St. Xavier to a three and out.

sity player, junior guard Bridgette Grote, who was second-team All-GGCL last year, and junior forward Carly Perrmann. Grote averaged 10.0 points per game last season and made a team-high 31 3-pointers. Harnist said senior Maddie Peters, sophomore Cam Gramke and junior Liz Sweet will all slide into bigger roles this season. All three played in a combined 63 games last season, so it’s not like they’re rookies. “The buy-in from our

stepped in front of a stop route and intercepted Miamisburg’s Tate Vongsy and returned it 32 yards to the Vikings’ 18-yard line to help the Lancers take a 10-0 lead on a 34yard kick by Paul Young. After a three-and-out from Miamisburg, Brandon, back to return the punt, found the football and shot down La Salle’s visiting sideline for a 73yard touchdown, which gave La Salle a 17-0 lead after one quarter. It was Brandon’s second punt return touchdown and fourth non-offensive touchdown of the year. “Special teams: We talked about it on Monday,” Hilvert said. “(Miamisburg) won a couple games on special teams. Special teams are gonna be huge, and what happened ... Da’Meak Brandon punt return. That’s a huge play, huge momentum. When you’re playing a Wing-T team and you get up on them, that’s exactly the way you want it.” On the first possession of the second quarter, Miamisburg got on the board. The Vikings converted on fourth down three times, the latter a 3yard touchdown pass from Vongsy to Tyler Johnson that made it 17-7. But White returned the ensuing kickoff 51 yards to the Miamisburg 37yard line, and on the next play Merritt connected with a fully extended Whyle for a 37-yard touchdown pass to give the Lancers a 24-7 lead nearly midway through the second quarter. Another quick La Salle strike occurred after another three-and-out from Miamisburg. Merritt hit senior wide receiver Joey Stacy for a 28-yard touchdown. La Salle’s defense held in its own territory on fourth down for a 31-7 halftime lead. La Salle needed just 17 girls has been phenomenal,” said Harnist. “We are quickly coming together as a team; working hard each and every day.” The Saints open the season Nov. 25 at the Walnut Hills Tip-Off Classic. Seton’s home-opener is Nov. 30 against Glen Este. Taylor girls basketball might be coming off a 9-14 season, and the Yellow Jackets may have graduated one of the most-dominant players they’ve ever seen in Tracy Wiehe. But, seventh-year head coach John Schablein believes his current squad has the “potential to have the first winning record at Taylor in 14 years.” Three starters are
offensive plays and six minutes of possession to put up 31 points in the first half. “It already goes back to the first week of the playoffs,” Hilvert said. “People said this and that, our guys came out the following week and made a statement (34-3 over Turpin). Came out this week, everybody kept talking about ‘Miamisburg’s a great football team,’ and we made a statement. No one knows the size of a heart of a champion and these guys have the heart of a champion. Our football team played, I thought, a complete football game. ... I think we’re peaking at the right time. I think that first (playoff) game (against Edgewood) was a wake-up call for us. If we can keep capitalizing and keep on getting better as the year goes on, wow, I really like our football team. If we can execute and do the things we did tonight I like our chances.” On its first second-half possession, after a Miamisburg three-and-out, La Salle senior Tre’Sean Smith tacked on an 8-yard touchdown run to give the Lancers a 38-7 advantage, as well as a running clock. The Lancers took a 45-14 lead into the fourth quarter. White finished with 62 yards on six carries and two touchdowns. Miamisburg racked up 221 rush yards, most of which came after the game was out of hand. Interestingly, when the OHSAA released its state semifinal bracket on Thursday, Division II was left undone. Per the OHSAA, “Home teams and sites to be announced Sunday, Nov. 20 (after deadline). (Division II) state semifinal pairings cannot be determined until after regional finals.”
put the Aves in prime position. On 3rd down from the 7-yard line, Borman spotted fullback Kyle Fehr alone for the game’s first points. Those would be the only points of the first quarter as St. Xavier was held to just 14 yards of offense. After sputtering much of the second quarter, St. Xavier coach Steve Specht inserted Clifford in for starter Chase Wolf. Clifford broke a couple runs in the late quarter drive and finally trotted right down Broadway for 40 yards to tie the game near the end of the half. Sycamore responded quickly in the second half with Khalis Hicks taking the opening kickoff 83 yards. Ra’Von Bonner then ran to the 1-yard line and eventually in for the early 14-7 third quarter cushion. Late in the quarter, Borman spotted Malek down the middle for a 53-yard gain. In the red zone again, Sycamore took advantage of a roughing the passer call and Bonner eventually rammed into the end zone for his second touchdown. To start the final frame, Clifford and the Bombers were in the red zone again. On 3rd and 1 from the 4-yard line, Clifford ran an option and flipped to Jacob Buerkle to creep within one score. St. Xavier would cross into Sycamore territory again, only to be sent back with several penalties. After punter Joshua Glaser pinned the Aves at the 1-yard line, it still looked like a momentum shift for the Bombers. However. on the next play, Ra’Von Bonner burst through the line and raced 99 yards down the
sidelines for a 28-14 advantage. The Aves had a chance later to chew the clock, but a fourth down ill-advised lateral led to good field position for the Bombers. Clifford would make them pay and with just over two minutes left, St. Xavier had an onside kick attempt. They got it. “I thought it was a botched call, but it doesn’t matter,” Sycamore coach Scott Dattilo said later. “We had chances to put the game away and didn’t.” Two plays later, Clifford ran loose and spotted Cameron Specht down the left sideline for a touchdown. Kevin Rockwood’s extra point tied it at 28. In the extra period, just like last week against Colerain, Sean Clifford threw a touchdown pass. This one was nine yards to Andrew Wittrock and St. X held their first lead at 35-28. “I don’t care who’s in the game, Chase or Sean, both of them can play,” Specht said. “They’re incredibly talented kids and they both deserve to play.” On Sycamore’s possession, the Aves fell short on 4th and 13 with Borman throwing incomplete to the end zone to Khadim Fall. It was Sycamore’s first loss since Sept. 30 and St. Xavier’s fourth consecutive win. It ended long varsity careers for both Borman and Bonner who have both played over 30 straight games for Scott Dattilo’s green and gold. Bonner finished with 210 rushing yards and three scores. The Bombers visit the Division I state semifinals and will face Pickerington Central.

Junior guards Jessie Lakamp and Lydia Bruns both played consistently last season, but they’ll be asked for even minutes this year. Schablein said he really likes his team speed, defense and attitude.

Western Hills is coming off a 5-18 season last year, but they brought in former Gamble Montessori coach David Hardman this year to take over for the Mustangs.

West High opens up at home against Shroder on Nov. 29, then hosts Seven Hills on Dec. 2. Gamble Montessori could not be reached prior to print deadline.

Cleanest county kitchens in third quarter When selecting a place to dine, how do you know if the facility implements proper sanitation and food safety practices? One way is to tour the kitchen, which is usually not practical for diners. Another is to view inspection reports prior to venturing out. A third and perhaps faster method is to look for a Hamilton County Public Health Clean Kitchen Award. Has the facility received the award and if not, why, are fair questions for management. “Foodborne illness
stories have been prominent in recent months,” assistant Hamilton County Health Commissioner Greg Kesterman said. “Most of what we see in terms of foodborne illness is preventable, which is why we put emphasis on our education and inspection program with the food service facilities we serve.” When choosing a place to eat, make sanitation a priority. You can view inspection data for all food service facilities and listings for all Clean Kitchen Award winners on the Hamilton County Public
Health website at www.HCPH.org. The Clean Kitchen Award reflects data from the previous two years and is not necessarily indicative of current conditions. To be considered, facilities must: » have three or fewer violations in the two years prior to applying; » have no “critical” or repeat violations in the previous two years; » maintain at least two staff members with Level I Food Handler certification or at least one staff member with a current ServSafe certificate;
» submit applications along with corresponding documentation; » have a minimum of two years of data on file with Hamilton County Public Health.

Philanthropists honored with Voices of Giving Award Mace Justice and Dan and Julie (Jones) Murphy of Delhi Township were among 25 philanthropists honored by the Greater Cincinnati Planned Giving Council with Voices of Giving Awards. The awards were presented on behalf of nonprofit organizations who have benefited from the honorees’ generous bequest or planned gift - and often other non-monetary contributions. A retired school teacher, Justice has been an active supporter and subscriber of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra for more than 50 years. He has provided financial support for commissions, broadcasts, the appearance of guest artists, as well as general operating support. He has endowed a chair for the associate principal second violin in honor of his parents. As a member of CSO’s Planned Giving Society, The Thomas Schippers Legacy Society, Justice has ensured that his legacy will live on as a valued part of the CSO family. He has named the CSO as a beneficiary of his Charitable Remainder Trust. Nominated by Xavier University, Dan and Julie (Jones) Murphy met as Xavier students, graduated in 1985 and were married in Bellarmine Chapel
– but it was another part of their mutual history that led them to endow the Murphy Family Scholarship for middle-income, public school students from Hamilton County. “It’s our roots,” Dan Murphy said. “Somewhere, somebody gave money so two public school kids who worked hard got a chance to attend a great university we could never have afforded. We wanted to give back, and we’re hoping other people will do the same.” The Murphys both earned degrees in accounting from Xavier, and although their majors were in a more technical field, both of them appreciate the liberal arts aspects of their education. Dan Murphy had a very successful career in the business-coaching field. Murphy is the CEO and Founder of Benobe LLC, which has created a webbased and iPhone application that helps people from age 13 and up explore potential careers. The Greater Cincinnati Planned Giving Council is a professional association for people whose work includes developing, marketing, and administering charitable planned gifts for non-profit institutions and a variety of other legal and financial settings.

St. Vincent De Paul wraps up fan, air conditioner drive The Society of St. Vincent de Paul concluded its 15th annual summer fan and air conditioner drive in an effort to provide Greater Cincinnati neighbors in need with proper cooling during a very hot and humid summer. In cooperation with Huntington Bank, WCPO 9 On Your Side, Tedia Co., The Beach Waterpark and Braun Heating & Air Conditioning, St. Vincent de Paul raised more than $55,000 from individuals
in the community and distributed 400 air conditioners and 600 fans to neighbors in need. “Thanks to the generosity of our local neighbors and corporate partners, we have helped 1,000 families this summer,” said Mike Dunn, executive director of St. Vincent de Paul – Cincinnati. “Many of the neighbors we serve are children and the elderly with chronic health conditions. Having a fan or air conditioner is
often the difference between living comfortably and a visit to the emergency room.” The fans and air conditioners were distributed throughout the summer by St. Vincent de Paul neighborhood volunteers and outreach centers. People across Greater Cincinnati were asked to donate new fans and air conditioners at St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Stores or make a monetary donation.
