Lifestyle Letter
With Heartfelt Gratitude.
T
here is so much to be thankful for this time of year! November marks the two-year anniversary of the launch of West Chester & Liberty Lifestyle. We are incredibly thankful to be celebrating another year of connecting our community through the stories and events we feature each month. Thank you, our faithful readers, for your wonderful feedback and support! Words cannot begin to express the immense appreciation I have for our advertising partners. West Chester & Liberty Lifestyle is delivered to you for free every month thanks to the support of our advertisers. I am very selective about which businesses I partner with so that our readers can be assured that the companies featured on our pages provide high-quality products and services. The best way to thank these businesses for supporting West Chester & Liberty Lifestyle is by using their goods and services. Let them know you heard about them here. Finally, I want to thank my wildly talented editorial team. The quality of stories and photographs continues to exceed my expectations every month. It wouldn’t be possible to pull this together without my amazing editor, Abbey McMahon—soon to be Abbey Bradley—as she’ll be getting married while this issue prints! The stories inside this issue of West Chester & Liberty Lifestyle express our gratitude for our community. The Union Centre Boulevard freeway exit changed the landscape of West Chester, and this month we celebrate 20 years since that historic interchange opened. Veteran’s Day is celebrated in November, and we’d like to express our gratitude to the men and women who have bravely served our country. Inside we share the story of Team RBW, an organization dedicated to enriching the lives of American veterans by connecting them to their community. We are grateful for Liberty Township Fire Chief Paul Stumpf as he retires after 45 years of service to our community, and we welcome successor, Chief Ethan Klussman. We also highlight ways that local students from MTCES are giving back in our community. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we reached out to experts at The Coach House and Interiors Plus to provide inspiration for food and table settings fit for a fantastic Thanksgiving feast. These are just some of the great stories you’ll find inside this Thankful issue of West Chester & Liberty Lifestyle. Thank you for reading. Michelle Moody, Publisher Michelle.Moody@LifestylePubs.com

NEW LEADERSHIP 21 CLASS ANNOUNCED The 17th class of Leadership 21 began in September, with 30 local leaders prepared to learn and service our community for 2017/2018. Leadership 21 is a West Chester ■ Liberty Chamber Alliance program designed to improve the quantity, quality and effectiveness of leadership along the I-75 Growth Corridor and within the communities of West Chester and Liberty Townships.
WEST CHESTER RANKED AMONG BEST PLACES TO LIVE Money Magazine released a new “Best Places to Live” list in September, and West Chester again ranked in the top 100 communities across the country. This was the sixth time West Chester has made Money Magazine’s list—a credit to the community’s private and corporate citizens who have invested in its success and sustainability. The 2017 Money Magazine list considered communities with populations of 10,000 to 100,000, eliminating those with more than double the national crime risk, less than 85 percent of its state’s medium household income, or a lack of diversity. From the resulting pool of 2,400 places, Money Magazine collected 170,000 different data points to nar-

A BRIDGE TO PROSPERITY (CON TI N U ED)
Even with a great vision, the interchange project was unprecedented in recent times. Former Union Township Trustee and longtime resident Dick Alderson recalls that the Union Centre interchange was the first new development to be approved on I-75 in many years. It took time to get all the permits, secure funding and get construction underway, but local leaders ensured that the bureaucracy was kept to a minimum through collaboration, perseverance, clear communication and private funding. “To get the engineering and the approvals and even the construction

to home, the extension of Cox Road will enable access to many more square acres of development area, and the proposed Millikin Road interchange will increase access in a busy section of the interstate. There is also a demand for mixed-use development that allows people to live, work and play in a central area without having to live in an urban downtown. Liberty Center fulfilled this demand in late 2015, and continues to become a beacon of connectivity. “Liberty Township is looking into pedestrian bridges that connect Liberty Center, Christ Hospital and Children’s Hospital to VOA,” Hinson explains. “The communities of the future will want walkability.”

Team RWB Builds Camaraderie and Support ARTICLE ABBEY MCMAHON | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

West Chester & Liberty Lifestyle | November 2017
Team RWB members carry the American flag.
P
eople run for many reasons. For some it’s to train for races; others want to get in shape; some runners say the trail is like their second home; and others run to relieve stress. For members of Team Red, White, and Blue,
regardless of what inspires someone to begin running, all agree that the camara-
derie felt along tracks, streets and trails is second to none. “After five years in this group, I’ve met some great friends and we’re really close. We have a lot in common, and I’ve tried all of these new things that I love to do. I’m loving life,” says United States Air Force Veteran Jeff Napier, who served from 1984-1988. Napier joined the Cincinnati chapter of Team Red, White, and Blue (known as Team RWB) as a way to meet new people and try new experiences after his kids left the house for college. Team RWB’s mission is to enrich the lives of America’s veterans by connecting them to their community through physical and social activity. The group is open to anyone in the community who wants to build friendships and support veterans, including civilians. Members of Team RWB meet weekly in various places throughout Cincinnati for a physical activity followed by a social outing. The group also participates in service activities, most recently hurricane relief efforts with Matthew 25 Ministries. The best part, according to Napier, is you don’t have to be a runner to join the group. Though running is a regular activity, Team RWB also goes hiking, white water rafting, biking and more. “The great thing about our group is we have people of all levels and abilities. We have people who just walk and people of all shapes and sizes,” Napier explains. “A lot of people bring their kids so we do stuff with the young kids, too.” While much of the group consists of veterans, Napier says many members are civilians and their families as well. Dr. Kris Titko of Liberty Township's Center for
Members of Team RWB volunteer at the Freestore Foodbank.
Foot Care joined Team RWB several years ago after her friend and running coach encouraged her to give the group a try. A civilian herself, Titko was just beginning to run and train for races when she first met Team RWB, and says it’s been one of the best parts of her life. “What I have found through [Team RWB] is a good group of people from diverse backgrounds. It’s not ‘clique-y,’” Titko says. “Over time I’ve become much more aware of my respect for veterans, which I already had, but now I feel like it’s much deeper.”

RUNNING WITH PRIDE (C ON TI N U ED)
One of her favorite parts of being on Team RWB is that the team carries the American flag at races. Go to any race across the country, including locally in Cincinnati, and you’re likely to see a group of people wearing Team RWB shirts surrounding the flag. “The pride of carrying the flag is really cool,” Titko explains, with a smile. “It’s a team feeling that you get.” In fact, Titko will be running the flag for an upcoming national run across America known as the Old Glory Relay. She’ll run about 20 miles near New Orleans for the 4,600 mile run from Seattle to Tampa, which raises awareness and funds for Team RWB. Unique experiences like this keep members engaged and excited to wear their red, white and blue pride. Napier says it’s important to cultivate this feeling of pride so veterans feel welcome when they get back from service. “In a way you’re putting your life on hold for two, three, four years—however long you’re enlisted. Your life is on hold because you’ve
been fighting or serving somewhere, but everyone else’s life has moved on. Your friends have gotten married, start their lives, but you get back and kind of ask yourself, ‘What do I do now?’ Things change in four years,” Napier recalls. For those coming back from service, their friends and family, and anyone who wants to support veterans, there is Team RWB. Napier says anyone is invited to join the group by going online or talking to a Team RWB member at an upcoming race. Though it can be difficult to join a new group, Napier says it’s worth stepping outside your comfort zone to meet the people within Team RWB. As the teams website says, “It’s about the journey, not the finish line.” TeamRWB.org 32

Crust
2 ½ cups organic unbleached flour 10 tablespoons organic butter (very chilled and cut into tiny cubes) ½ cup organic all vegetable shortening 4-6 tablespoons cold water (I usually put ice cubes in a small bowl of water and let it sit) 1 pinch of organic pink salt Place flour in a food processor with cutting metal blade, add butter and shortening, slowly pulse your processor to cut up butter and shortening. Add two tablespoon of water at a time and pulse a few more times. After four tablespoons of water, check to see if the flour holds together. The dough should look crumbly if it does not add two more tablespoons of water and pulse again. I find I usually use six tablespoons, be sure that it does not get wet and sticky if it is too wet add a little flour and pulse. Pour out dough onto a cutting board that is floured and press together to form a ball and knead the dough. Divide the dough in half and roll out each half of the dough and cut two circles that are 2 inches wider than you pie dish. I use a 9-inch pie dish. Grease and flour the pie dish and place the one circle on the bottom. Poke several holes with a fork. Pour apples into the pie dish and cover with the other dough circle. Press the edges together with a fork. Cut several slits around the pie. Bake pie at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. 5 minutes before it's done you can brush melted butter and sprinkle organic coconut sugar on top, pop back in the oven for remaining 5 minutes to form a glaze.
