BATAVIA TOWNSHIP –Trustee Bill Dowdney said po-lice response time is major fac-tor when considering an upcom-

ing levy.Batavia Town-

ship will have a 1-mill law enforce-ment levy on theMarch 15 ballot.

The levy willnot only go to-ward maintain-ing current staff-ing levels of Cler-

mont County Sheriff’s Office of-ficers in the township, but willprovide the township withenough revenue to add two addi-tional officers.

Failure of the levy could po-tentially result in a reduction inthe current number of officers.

The current contract withthe Sheriff’s Office coversstaffing of four officers as wellas the maintenance, purchasingand equipping of vehicles andfuel costs.

The township has two policecruisers. Success of the levywould provide revenue for thetownship to also obtain an addi-tional vehicle.

The 1-mill levy, which will bea continuing levy, will cost theowner of a $100,000 home an ad-ditional $35 a year.

The township’s current con-tract with the Sheriff’s Office isfunded by a 1-mill continuingpolice levy approved by votersin 2007. That levy generatesabout $342,000 annually.

The 1-mill levy in March isexpected to bring in an addition-al $353,000 per year.

“The foremost thing is wewould like to maintain the cur-rent level of law enforcementwe have,” Township Adminis-trator Rex Parsons said. “With-out the passage of this (levy) we

can’t maintainthe current lev-el.”

Parsons saidthat while costshave continuedto rise, the town-ship is still pay-ing for these ser-vices at the levelapproved in

2007.Costs for maintaining police

services in 2010 was about$300,408. By the end of 2015,these costs rose to about$373,669. The projected costsfor these services in 2018 is ex-pected to be about $422,008.

“It all boils down to responsetime,” Dowdney said. “How im-portant is safety to our resi-dents?”

No ice? No problem forthe 30 firefightersparticipating in thethree-day ice rescue

training in Miami Township.Thanks to a plywood dock

borrowed from the ColerainTownship Fire Department,training participants could atleast simulate the experienceof pulling themselves and vic-tims from the icy cold pond atMiami Meadows Park.

It’s an unusual situation.Usually ice is abundant thistime of year, trainer DaveMoore said. In his 20 years oftraining, Moore said he’s onlytrained without ice twice. Re-gardless of the lake’s condi-tions, the training is beneficial,he said.

“Most of these guys havesome experience with waterrescue,” Moore said. “This justreinforces it.”

Moore and his colleague,Justin Fox, are trainers withDive Rescue International andwere invited by Miami Town-ship Fire/EMS to provide theice rescue training.

To receive similar training,departments usually have tosend firefighters to places likeMichigan or Wisconsin, MiamiTownship Fire/EMS Lt. JeffChilders said. By hosting atraining here locally, it makes

it more cost effective for ev-eryone involved, he said.

Training participants re-ceive certification and are ableto train others in their depart-ment in the rescue techniques,Childers said. Since there wasno ice for this training, partici-pants have been invited by

Dive Rescue International toparticipate, at no cost, to atraining in Troy, Ohio, at theend of February.

Water rescue, especiallyice, is an area Miami TownshipFire and EMS is working tostrengthen, assistant ChiefDaniel Mack said.

“We have a lot of bodies ofwater in Miami Township,” hesaid. “It’s much more than theLittle Miami and East Fork riv-ers on our borders. “There areliterally hundreds of otherbodies, small ponds to larger,

“What we hope to do byadding more police ishave more deputies thatfocus specifically on Ba-tavia Township improv-ing response time as a re-sult,” he said.

Clermont County Sher-iff A.J. “Tim” Rodenberg,Jr. also said additionalrevenue will be needed inthe coming years.

“Calls for service havegreatly increased on aver-age since the inception ofthe (2007) levy,” he saidvia an email submission.“The costs associatedwith maintaining this levyfor law enforcement ser-vices have also risen.”

Rodenberg said theMarch levy would gener-ate additional revenuethat will maintain presenttownship coverage for ap-proximately 10 years.

Parsons did not specifyhow many officers wouldbe cut if the levy fails, buthe did say trustees wouldhave to “go back to the ta-ble and decide the nextsteps.”

almost lakes, like in Mi-ami Meadows.”

The department hasthe necessary ice rescueequipment and has re-sponded to a few ice res-cues involving animals.

Ice rescue is an area offocus for Anderson Town-ship Fire and Rescue,which recently completedtwo weeks of training atConey Island with Cincin-nati Fire Department.About 90 percent of thedepartment’s membersare trained in ice rescue,Battalion Chief SeanSmith said.

Anderson Townshipsent two firefighters tothe training in MiamiTownship just to keep cur-rent on the latest tech-

niques.“There might be some

new techniques we canbring back to our depart-ment,” Smith said. “Weneed to keep up-to-dateand make sure we’ve goteverything we should bedoing.”

Ice rescue sounds sim-ple, but it’s really com-plex, Mack said.

“You not only have tobe able to use the equip-ment, you need to read theconditions and make deci-sions about the best wayto affect the rescue,” hesaid. “As simple as itsounds, getting someoneout of a hole in the icewhere the person is al-ready very cold, there-fore unable to follow sim-ple commands, and alsobecause of the cold theyhave issues with musclecoordination, there’s a lotmore technique to get that

person out of the waterand over the ice shelf it-self.”

Lt. Francisco Caceres,a training officer with theMadeira & Indian HillJoint Fire District, attend-ed the ice rescue class.

“We anticipate he (Ca-ceres) will bring what-ever updates and varia-tions in ice-rescue tech-niques he learns back forall the rest of the Madeira& Indian Hill Joint FireDistrict folks,” said Ste-phen Ashbrock, chief ofthe joint fire district.

“We have trained in icerescue techniques eachyear for the past severalyears.

“We are equipped withice suits and try to keepabreast of the various ap-

proached to ice rescue sit-uation,” Ashbrock said.

Ashbrock said the Ma-deira & Indian Hill JointFire District has manysmall lakes and ponds inthe response district, in-cluding the Grand ValleyPreserve in Camp Denni-son.

“We also feel stronglyabout and support train-ing with our neighbors inall aspects of emergencyresponse,” Ashbrock said.

Ashbrock said the jointfire district has most re-cently used its equipmentand training for ice res-cue in rescuing dogs thathave fallen into waterthrough thin ice.

“A dog in such a situa-tion often contributes to ahuman crisis as the dogowner tries to rescue hisor her pet,” Ashbrocksaid.

“We take that opportu-nity to caution dog ownerswho walk their dogs inwinter near open water.Keep the dog on a leash!”

The Central Joint Fire/EMS District for Cler-mont County had one fire-fighter/paramedic partic-ipate in the Miami Town-ship Fire/EMS Ice RescueTraining.

“It is very importantfor us because part ofLake Harsha is in our ju-risdiction,” Central JointFire/EMS District ChiefKevin Riley said.

Riley said paramedicsand firefighters in the dis-trict also received train-ing from a district chiefwho attended an ice res-cue session in Pembine,Wisconsin three yearsago.

“We actually have nothad to use it, fortunately,”

Riley said, adding that thedepartment has not beeninvolved in an ice rescue.

However, Riley saidthe information is stillvery valuable.

“It’s important to notethat if you’re not familiarwith ice or how to mea-sure the thickness of (it),don’t get on it,” he said. “Ifwe can keep people off of(the ice) we would be hap-py.”

Riley said he wasstruck by how quicklysomeone can become in-capacitated when ex-posed to frigid waters.Someone can become in-capacitated within a fewminutes, he said. “It’s avery dangerous situa-tion.”

Is Jesus the Messiah?Was Jesus married to Ma-ry Magdalene? Medicalequipment sales is proba-bly not where you wouldlook for answers to ques-tions about Jesus Christ.

First-time author Ben-jamin Gilmore sells med-ical equipment when he isnot writing or answeringquestions about mattersof faith. His first book,“The Perfect Equation,”was released nationwideby Tate Publishing inearly January. The Mil-ford author lays out ashort concise and logicalargument in response tocommonly asked ques-tions about Jesus Christ inthe book. Gilmore went toa private Christian schoolwhile growing up with areligious family in Gallip-

olis and Ironton. “I was the one in Bible

class that had a millionquestions,” he said. “Whenmy hand went up, theteacher said oh no.”

His education pro-duced a doctoral degree indivinity and a scholarly in-terest in the history ofChristianity and JesusChrist: both topics not eas-ily discussed in the work-place; maybe even less soin the scientific arena ofmedicine and medicalequipment. Yet, that is ex-actly where the ground-work was laid for “ThePerfect Equation” by Gil-more.

Gilmore worked for aboss who had quite a dif-ferent religious faith up-bringing. Despite theirdifferences, they wereable to tease one anotherabout it. They talked a lot.

“It just amazed me

some of the questions heasked me about Jesus,”Gilmore said.

Some of those ques-tions are rooted in misin-formation from the publicmedia. Gilmore points tocheckout line tabloid sto-ries about Jesus, “The Da-Vinci Code” – book andfilm as sources of misin-formation. Whether peo-ple find it in the grocerystore, or in the thrillingfilms of Hollywood, fic-tion becomes fact and theunbelievable becomes,well gospel.

Gilmore cited storieslike “Jesus was married”or a new lost Gospel hasbeen found as examples ofwhat gets “put out there”as fact. It is simply nottrue and Gilmore has setout to separate fact fromfiction in “The PerfectEquation” using the Gos-pel truth.

“This stuff gets spreadaround and, before long,people just start believingit,” Gilmore said. “Peoplenever really check it out.Things always come upand I like to be able to ex-plain it.”

Gilmore realized dis-cussions with his boss hadexpanded; that maybe aseed had been planted. Joebecame the carrier forpage-long questions fromhis wife, and a friendly ex-change took place amongthe three of them.

“I think that’s whatreally started it,” Gilmoresaid. “She would have aquestion, and I would tryto convince her, the best Icould. In 2006, I created awebsite. Since 2006, I wasaveraging about 3 to400,000 hits per month onmy website. It was just

Sydney Snider waselected Eastern Regionvice president for the Na-tional FFA at their 88th na-tional convention and ex-po in Louisville Oct. 31.

This is the first time anFFA student from Felici-ty-Franklin has beenelected to serve as an offi-cer for the National FFA.She is the 34th studentfrom Ohio to be elected toserve as a national officer.Five other national offi-cers from across the coun-try were elected to serveduring the National FFAconvention held in Octo-ber.

More than FutureFarmers since 1988, theirmission states: “FFAmakes a positive differ-ence in the lives of stu-dents by developing theirpotential for premierleadership, personalgrowth and career suc-cess through agriculturaleducation.”

Snider was active withthe National FFA Organi-zation throughout highschool and served as statepresident for FFA in 2014-2015. She hopes to con-tinue that service to en-sure the organization re-mains relevant for cur-rent members and mem-bers 10-plus years fromnow.

“That kind of passionand that interest on mypart is what led me to runfor this position,” Snider

said.There were more than

50 candidates from FFAchapters across the nationrunning for the six nation-al officer positions. Theprocess of election beganon a Sunday and ranthrough the close of theconvention Oct. 31. Therewere interviews to deter-mine her level of perfor-mance and skills in areaswhere a national officerwould be expected to ex-cel.

It turned out to be anenjoyable week for Snid-er. Her interviews werewrapped up by 1 p.m.Thursday. She had the op-portunity to soak up asmuch as possible duringwhat could have been herlast time at a National FFAconvention. That includedinteraction with othercandidates, getting toknow them and value theirexperiences as well.

“It was a week that, nomatter what the outcome,I knew I was going to val-ue and treasure for a longtime,” she said.

It is the culmination ofher passionate involve-ment with FFA at home,statewide and now nation-ally. This all began for herand her twin sister Carley

at home in Felicity. Whilethe two often competedwith one another at theClermont County Fair andin school FFA programs -sometimes Carley cameout on top, sometimes Syd-ney did - they both learnedfrom one another andfrom Felicity-FranklinFFA advisor Holly Jen-nings.

“They aspired to take itto the next level and be astate officer,” Jenningssaid about the twin sisterswho both served as chap-

ter officers while at Felici-ty-Franklin High School.

Sydney was electedpresident of the Ohio FFAfor the 2014-2015 year andtraveled around the statepresenting leadershipworkshops, FFA camps,and traveled to the Nation-al FFA convention. Carleyprecede her in that posi-tion and the two learned alot together from that ex-perience. Jennings saidSnider provided leader-

people interested in thiskind of information.”

Gilmore laid out theinformation just like anargument in a court oflaw. It took a while, buthe received messagesfrom people saying theyfound salvation. It waslike a great victory forhim; maybe being thesource of light guidingthem out of darkness.He wondered if theirsouls may have beenlost without stumblingupon his website. Whoknows?

“I was glad to hearthat little old me puttingout some informationcaused someone to thinkand look at what they be-lieve,” he said. “Ithought if I can reach300,000 people on mywebsite; why not put abook out.”

Gilmore saw how thewebsite took off. Byadding just a little more,he could complete theequation and put togeth-er a short book. He actu-ally put pen to paper andasked his wife Beth toread it. She liked it. Henever published any-thing before and had noidea how to approach, orchoose, a publisher.

Tate Publishingcaught his attention.They treated him kindlyin a phone conversationand explained how tosend a manuscript tothem. Upon his arrivalhome one day, Beth toldhim he had mail fromthe publisher. That wasthe day he learned theywanted to publish hisbook. There was a proc-ess of editing and for-

matting, but three yearslater, the book is now be-ing released nation-wide.

Beginning with an in-troduction including thewords “proof and evi-dence” and then, chap-ter by chapter evidenceto prove things like Je-sus Christ is the Messi-ah, was not married, androse from the dead. Ithas led Gilmore on hisown personal journey toCatholicism.

“It is the fullness oftruth,” he said. “To me,each person that findstheir salvation andknows where they’re go-ing is one less soul theDevil is going to get.That’s what’s importantto me.”

“When she was presi-dent, she actually tookthat whole year off fromcollege,” Jennings said.“She didn’t have a job oranything, she just servedthe FFA.”

Snider credits the lead-ership of Jennings withthe high school FFA forher development into anofficer. Before Jenningsarrived as FFA advisor atFelicity-Franklin, no FFAteam from there had everwon an event/competition.Today, seven years later,several banners hang inthe Felicity-Franklin FFAoffice - most from theSnider twins. Jenningssaid seeing which studentwill surpass the Snidertwins is the challenge forfuture students.

The challenge for Syd-ney Snider has moved tothe National FFA officer’sstage. Again she’ll take ayear off from college toserve in her new positionas Eastern Region VicePresident. She hopes tocontinue to expand theoutreach of the NationalFFA Organization alreadyevident with students andsupporters involved. Hergoal includes a more di-verse outreach to help stu-dents find where they cangrow within the FFA.

“For me it is an organi-zation that has helpedshape where I want to gowithin my career,” Snider

said. “I was able to discov-er my passion for agricul-ture, my passion for com-munication and workingwith people.”

The FFA has helped hergrow and find the charac-ter traits and qualities inherself she utilizes as a na-tional officer elect now. Itled her directly to her ma-jor of agricultural com-munication at Ohio State.Snider is interested inpublic relations and mar-keting to help share agri-culture’s message with to-day’s consumers.

Her service as a nation-al officer has already be-gun, but she’ll go throughtraining at the NationalFFA center in Indianapo-lis from Nov. 29 - Dec. 19.She said this training is avery vital part of every-thing they’ll present tostudents in the upcomingyear. She’ll be at state FFAconventions, on stage pre-senting, giving work-shops, at camps with stu-dents, and be that voice ofFFA along with the otherfive national officers.

“We’ll go to sponsorbusinesses to share whattheir support has done forus,” Snider said. “I hope toencourage students totake hold of the things ourorganization can providefor them. I’m hoping thisyear I can help them findtheir value in what they’redoing with the FFA and thevalue within their ownlives. Our organizationcan be a vital part of that.”

I almost forgot about Fat Tuesday thisyear. So I’m late in sharing one of my favor-ite recipes for red beans and rice. But youknow what? This is a recipe that’s a keeper,and good anytime. In fact, I make it moreduring Lent than any other time of year.That’s because I can vary it to make it veg-etarian or not.

Like serving it alongside pork tenderlointhat I’ll rub with a bit of Cajun seasoning.Or adding sautéed shrimp right before Iserve it.

Can you help? Mcalister’s chicken anddumpling soup

Tri-County Press reader Christine C. loves thissoup. She said: “It is not available every day, andone of the three area McAlister’s I frequent doesn’teven carry it. I guess it is up to the managerswhich soups they carry. It is basically a thick brothwith chicken and these wonderful, big, flat, doughy“dumplings”. The dumplings are not a biscuit type

dumpling, and the broth has a wonderfulflavor without the heavy celery flavor somebroths have. I would love to be able to havethis whenever I want - not just if I hit McAl-isters on the right day of the week.”

Well, I went to McAlister’s in Kenwoodand darn, they weren’t serving the dumplingsoup. I thought if I could taste it, I may beable to clone it. If you have a similar recipe,please share.

Tip from Rita’s kitchenAvoid sticky fingers when breadingYou’ll have 3 pans of coating: 2 dry and 1 wet.

Pat the food into the dry coating, and then lift themout with a pair of tongs to put into the wet, coatingboth sides well. Then drop into the last dry coatingand pat coating on with your fingers. Nice andclean!

1 very generous cup diced onion2-3 teaspoons garlic, minced1-2 teaspoons cumin1 bay leaf1 teaspoon chili powder blend or to taste2 cups rice2 cans red beans, drained4 cups vegetable or chicken broth, or bit more if neededSalt and pepper to tasteTo stir in after cooking: Favorite greens (If using Kale, add

Feb. 3 questionThere are proposals in the

Ohio legislature to eliminate“pay to play” fees for schoolextracurricular activities (ath-letic and non-athletic). Is this agood idea? Why or why not?

“I would like to see thecharges for extracurricularactivities eliminated. Manyof the students’ familiesstruggle with the $200-$500per student per activitycharges. For those familiesthat have multiple familymembers involved in multi-ple activities it can be over-whelming. These extra cur-ricular activities are very im-portant to develop the wholeperson and promote team-work. Some schools chargefootball fans for on campusparking. Perhaps that mightbe an alternative to offsetthese costs. Go Figure!”

T.D.T.

Jan. 27 questionWho will be President of the

United States one year from to-day? Why will he or she havewon?

“Hillary Clinton will bethe president in a year. Why?First because she has the ex-perience and leadership nec-essary to be the president.Second because the othercandidates are driving thoselike me, an independent vot-er away. The majority of theother candidates have notshared their plans; insteadthey are campaigning onhate, divisiveness and pro-vide social media sound bitesmisrepresenting the truth.Unfortunately, they repre-sent the extremes and as a re-sult get lots of attention, but Iam optimistic most voterswill see through the rhetoric,hate and lies and will vote fora more moderate candidatelike Hillary Clinton.”

In today’s world we all wor-ry continuously about oursafety and that of our families.To maintain our current levelof protection we find it neces-sary to propose a new lawenforcement levy. On March15, voters in Batavia Townshipwill be asked to approve a new1-mill continuing levy for thepurpose of providing law en-forcement for the residents ofthe community.

Passage of this 1-mill levy,Issue 3 on the ballot, will en-sure the continuation of thefour contracted ClermontCounty Deputies serving theresidents and will permit theaddition of two deputies in thenear future.

The current 1-mill levy was

passed in 2007and the town-ship has beencontractingwith the Cler-mont CountySheriff forfour dedicateddeputies andtwo patrolcars. Eventhough 100percent of the

funds collected go directly topaying the contract, fundscollected are not keeping upwith the cost of the deputiesand the purchase and/or main-tenance of the cars.

The force of four deputiesand two cars answers about 41percent of the 12,450 calls forservice while other units an-swer the balance.

We feel strongly that weneed to increase the force bytwo deputies for a total of six.

The six deputies would sharethree cars and would increaseour force by 50 percent. Thisincrease would enable quickerservice and possibly detercrime. With our growing pop-ulation of more than 23,000,we have witnessed an increasein calls nearly every year andwe expect this trend to con-tinue.

The existing 2007 1-milllevy will still be in effect, andwe will maintain an agreementwith the Sheriff’s Office, how-ever in order to meet the bud-get constraints we would needreduce staffing and prioritizeservices to fit the financialresources available. Thiswould require cutting back totwo deputies and one car.

Passage of a 1-mill levy willresult in the increase in taxesof $35 per $100,000 of assessedvalue - less than 10 cents perday. The levy would start col-

lecting funds in 2017 and whensufficient funds are availablewe would anticipate addingthe additional deputies as soonas possible.

The contract includes thedeputies’ salaries, health in-surance, training, car costsincluding equipment andmaintenance. There are nocosts included for supervisionof the deputies by either theSheriff or the Township. 100percent of the funds collectedgo towards meeting the con-tract terms. We also receive atno charge investigative ser-vices, crime lab, K-9, SRTteam, water/dive team rescue,jail trustees, traffic unit, etc-...Please contact the BataviaTownship AdministrativeOffices at 513-732-3888 orcontact me at 513-227-3100.

If you are reading thismessage I am successful inattracting your attention intoday’s world of distractions.

Perhaps the words thatattracted you are “new”followed by “traditions.” Iused this oxymoron to pro-duce a special effect thathighlights our ability tomake planned changes. Aswe move into 2016 let’s focuson creating “new traditions”to move individuals, familiesand communities into theworld of tomorrow.

Traditions are somethingfrom the past that you wantto carry forward to helpshape the future. They mightbe customs, rituals, habits,beliefs, events or actions.These established traditionshave brought our familiesthrough the ages to today.Hurray for traditions!

Why should I make “new”traditions? Last month SarahGhee, director of United Wayserving Brown and ClermontCounties, quoted the RobertWood Johnson FoundationChildhood Obesity Briefstating “If we don't reversethis epidemic, the currentgeneration of young peoplecould be the first in U.S.history to live sicker and dieyounger than their parents'generation.” Now is the timeto plan “new” traditions tomove individuals, our fam-ilies and communities intothe future.

Start creating “new” tra-ditions by asking yourselfthe following question toprepare for healthier livingin 2016 and beyond.

What does living healthymean to you?

Here is a sampling ofwhat some of our programparticipants have said – abetter quality of life withless stress, preparing andeating more nutritiousmeals, increasing physicalactivity, buying more freshfruits and vegetables and

practicingfood safety athome andwhen eatingout.

The U.S.Departmentsof Health andHuman Ser-vices andAgriculturereleased the2015–2020

Dietary Guidelines forAmericans. I have summa-rized the five guidelinesbelow so you can use them tohelp you create a “new” tra-dition.

1. Follow a healthy eatingpattern across the lifespan.All food and beveragechoices matter. Choose ahealthy eating pattern at anappropriate calorie level.

2. Focus on variety, nutri-ent density, and amount.Choose a variety of nutrient-dense foods across and with-in all food groups in recom-mended amounts.

3. Limit calories fromadded sugars and saturatedfats and reduce sodium in-take. Cut back on foods andbeverages higher in thesecomponents.

4. Shift to healthier foodand beverage choices. Con-sider cultural and personalpreferences to make theseshifts easier to accomplishand maintain.

5. Support healthy eatingpatterns for all. Everyonehas a role in helping to cre-ate and support healthy eat-ing patterns in multiple set-tings nationwide, from hometo school to work to commu-nities.

Now is the time to createa “new” tradition and com-mit to being healthier in 2016and beyond! Take the pledgeat http://chn.ge/1PSNsY1.

Wrist injuries are commonamong young athletes. A fallonto an outstretched hand is acommon mechanism of injury.

The most commonly frac-tured bone around the wristwith such a mechanism is theradius bone, accounting forroughly one third to one halfof all wrist fractures in chil-dren.

Though less common over-all, another important frac-ture from a fall onto an out-stretched hand is the scaphoidfracture. The scaphoid bone, asmall bone that sits on thethumb side of the wrist, is themost commonly fracturedcarpal bone. A scaphoid frac-ture is difficult to diagnose asit is often not seen on initialX-rays. It can be devastatingif not treated properly andcan ultimately impact returnto play.

Some of the symptomsinclude pain and swelling atthe base of the thumb andincreased pain with move-ment and gripping objects. Ifyou think your child has awrist injury, it’s always bestto have an examination by aphysician to determine theneed for diagnostic imagingand treatment. Some of thediagnostic tests may include:

» X-ray: the most commondiagnostic test for a scaphoidfracture. This test utilizeselectromagnetic waves ofhigh energy to distinguishbone from soft tissues (mus-cles, tendons, ligaments, skin,fat tissue). This test is com-monly used as an initial test todetermine if your child hassustained a scaphoid fracture.

» Magnetic resonance im-aging (MRI): a radiation-freetest that uses large magnetsto produce detailed images ofboth soft tissues and bone.MRI is best for determiningpathology of tendons andligaments that cannot be seen

with X-raysalone. An MRImay pick up ascaphoid frac-ture that aplain filmX-ray misses.

» Comput-erized tomog-raphy (CT orCAT scan):uses X-rays toproduce “vir-

tual” slices of body parts. CTsare particularly important forlooking at bones. They pro-duce images that are moredetailed than typical X-rays.

Once the diagnosis of thescaphoid fracture is made,your doctor will determinethe best possible treatmentplan. The non-surgical ap-proach involves a cast thatincludes the thumb. Healingtime is usually four to sixweeks in these instances.

If the fracture involves twoseparate pieces of the scaph-oid bone, surgery may beneeded. Compression screws,wires and implants are someof the surgical techniquesused to hold the bone togeth-er. Recovery time can vary.

At Cincinnati Children’s,we have a team of physicaltherapists with pediatrictraining to assist your childwith his or her wrist rehabili-tation. Your child’s therapistwill work individually withyour child to design a re-gimen aimed at restoringfunction.

For more information,contact the Pediatric SportsMedicine experts and make asame day appointment bycalling 513-803-HURT.

it to Turpin had many aspects ofbeing a classic trap game forJeff Click’s Glen Este girls bas-ketball squad, given that Turpinteams have always playedtough against GE, that the Tro-jans had already wrapped upthe ECC championship, and thatTurpin is a very good team andwould be especially fired up ontheir senior night. On this night,Glen Este won 60-47.

For a while, it appeared thatthe trap had sprung, as Turpinjumped almost every GE entry

pass, worked patiently for goodshots, scored 13 straight points,and built a 15-6 first quarterlead.

But then Glen Este displayedthe poise and resilience that hasbecome their trademark thisyear when severely challenged.They ran off 12 straight to go up18-15, sparked by 3-point playsfrom Kaylin Burdick and Pay-ton Funk, going on to build a 26-20 lead. Then Kelly Simon re-sponded to frequent remindersby the enthusiastic home crowdof her earlier air ball, as shegrabbed a rebound with four

UNION TWP. - With theirundefeated record and re-cent Eastern Cincinnati Con-ference supremacy, the GlenEste High School girls bowl-ing team walks into any alleyin town with a fair amount ofswagger.

It was earned back in theFort Ancient Valley Confer-ence days with coach KathyDemarko and has continuedin the ECC with second-yearcoach Kevin Briggs. As tal-ented as many of the GlenEste athletes are, no team hasthe hardware the bowlershave accumulated in recentyears.

As the old adage goes, it’snot bragging if you back it up.

“I always tell them to car-ry themselves with the classthey want to be,” Briggs said.“They’ll never come in and betoo cocky or confident. Theyjust come in and they knowwhat to do to get the job done.I’m blessed to have the samegirls as I had last year withthe exception of a new fresh-man.”

The new freshman is Tay-lor Neal, who was slightly be-neath Glen Este’s top trio ofrollers at presstime. Be-tween Courtney Chaffin,Daniell Cooper, Drew Coul-ter and Neal, the Lady Trojanaverages are between 178-194. Not far off the pace is ju-nior Becca Rainwater, a top10 ECC bowler in the mid160s.

Among Glen Este’s victo-ries were the Holiday Classicand ECC/SWOC tourna-ments.

“We also had Team USA inDayton and finished ninth,”Briggs said. “The best teamsin the state were in that tour-nament. That gave us a graspof where we were at.”

The hope at the SuperBowl Sunday sectional drawwas to bowl at CrossgateLanes. From there, it wouldbe on to the district tourneyat Beavercreek where last

season came to an end. Ideal-ly, Briggs can push all orsome of the Lady Trojans onto Wayne Webb’s ColumbusBowl for the state festivities.

“I think this year we’ve be-come more well-rounded,”Briggs said. “Last year wehad four girls and then I nev-er knew who my fifth bowlerwas. This year, I don’t knowwho the fifth bowler is, but Ihave six I can throw in thereat anytime. It’s a good prob-lem to have.”

The upside for the GlenEste girls is no one from theirformidable crew graduates.In addition to the solid rela-tionships built, the Lady Tro-jans will be mainly upper-classmen.

While Chaffin currentlyhas the highest average, thehigh roller of the day usuallyvaries.

“Danielle, Courtney andDrew have all been takingturns,” Briggs said. “Theywant to beat each other, butthey do it in a friendly man-ner. They come out and laughwith each other.”

The Glen Este boys havealso had a successful year,finishing second in the ECC/SWOC tournament. Their top

MT. WASHINGTON -In a lot of ways, this yearhas mimicked last yearfor McNicholas’ girlsbasketball team.

After the first 11games last year, theRockets sat at 6-5. Allthey did after that wasrattle off seven wins intheir next 11 games enroute to a GCL Co-ed Cen-tral championship. Aftera 1-6 start in 2015, theRockets met Badin with ashare of the league titleon the line Feb. 3.

The Rams lockeddown the victory 53-50,but it took a big effortfrom Molly McGraw, toclose it out. For a coupleof the Rockets’ three-year starters, it was theirfirst time not winning aGCL Co-ed title.

“I told her at the endI’m glad it’s the last time Ihave to see her,” coachGregg Flammer said ofMcGraw. “It was a typi-cal Badin and McNickgame. It’s very competi-tive every time out.Seems like every year itcomes down to Badin andMcNick for the league(title).”

Much of the team’sslow start could be attrib-uted to who they played.They played Turpin, Ma-riemont, Summit Coun-try Day and Alter. Thoseteams had a combined15-2 record at that pointof the year.

But the team didn’tthrow in the towel. Tak-

ing their cues from grittyguards Maria Ciamponeand Katey Byrne, theRockets began to fightback.

In their next 14 games,the Rockets compiled an8-6 record to push theirrecord to 9-12.

“To me, it’s the person-ality of the team,” Flam-mer said. “We kept bat-tling and battling. Whenwe have our problems,they stem from our girlswanting to be better.”

That desire served theteam well last year whenmomentum helped pro-pel them to three wins inthe playoffs.

Flammer said theteam doesn’t plan onchanging much, if any-thing. That means theteam’s effort stays,too.“We play like we didagainst Badin, we canmake some noise in thetournament,” the coachsaid. “I’m looking for-ward to it.”

NEWTOWN - A late runcould give the Miami Val-ley Christian Academygirls basketball team achance to improve on lastyear’s 14-win season.

To do that, the Lady Li-ons will have to get by thewinner of CincinnatiChristian and top seed Ce-darville in the Division IVsectional tournament.

First things first, coachJulie Vilardo would like toavenge an earlier loss inmid-December to OhioValley Athletic Leaguefrontrunner Gamble Mon-tessori. A win over the La-dy Gators could mean atleast a shared league title.

Leading Vilardo’ssquad this season is juniorMichelle Lee, who lastyear teamed up with hersister, Devin. Devin Leehas moved on to CapitalUniversity where sheplans to walk-on the bas-ketball team next season.

Lee, one of four left-handers in MVCA’s lineup,has been hitting roughly 18points and 8 rebounds pergame. Sophomore pointguard Maliyah Brooks,sister of former Lion Ma-lique Ward, averages 11points per game and Daw-syn Vilardo is the top re-bounder averaging over 9per game. Dawsyn’s sister,Laura Vilardo, leads theteam in steals.

Adding depth in the piv-ot has been a senior whohas overcome tremendousadversity to just to make

the lay-up line.“Our surprise this year

has been Nicole Welling-ton,” Vilardo said. “Thelast game of her freshmanyear she tore her ACL,then first practice backsophomore year re-toreher ACL. She took her ju-nior year off and came outthis year. She’s performedwell.”

The Vilardos, Brooks,Lee and Wellington makeup the starting lineup, withfreshman Anna Reichardseeing minutes off thebench. While Julie Vilardojuggles players back andforth between the reserveand varsity this year, fourof the Lady Lions first fivewill be back next season.

“I lose Nicole (Welling-ton) but I have MichelleLee and three sophomoresback,” Vilardo said.

In two seasons, MVCAwill move to the more de-manding Miami ValleyConference, so buildingdepth is a priority. The La-dy Lions have already

played Lockland, St. Ber-nard, Seven Hills, Cincin-nati Country Day and NewMiami from the newleague. Next season,they’ll add Cincinnati HillsChristian Academy andthey could face CincinnatiChristian in this year’stournament.

Outside of the OVAL,the Lady Lions have triedto test themselves withgames against currentMVC members plus chal-lenges from Reading ofthe Cincinnati HillsLeague and New Rich-mond of the SouthernBuckeye Conference.

“We lost to CincinnatiCountry Day, who’s wellcoached and lost to Read-ing to open the season,” Vi-lardo said. “We’ve also lostthree games by three orless.”

After the home datewith Gamble MontessoriFeb. 10, MVCA plays theCincinnati Christian,/Ce-darville winner Feb. 16 atMonroe at 6 p.m.

Howdy folks, It’s time to start prun-

ing the fruit trees whilethe sap is down and alsothe raspberries. I startedto prune my berries yes-terday while the weatheris nice.

Years ago I helpedJohn Pringle’s dad prunefruit trees. His dad wasan orchard man and heknew how to craft trees,so John had some excel-lent training. John toldme he was setting morefruit trees. The trees thatare there now sure havesome age on them. If youtake care of them, theywill produce fruit forseveral years.

Years ago, RoscoePringle had the bestpeaches I ever seen andtasted. I would help pickthe peaches using a littlebasket. There was a ladyhelping pick and John’s

motherwas sellingthe peach-es. Therewere sev-eral bas-kets ofpeachespicked andfolks camefor severalmiles to

get the peaches. Theyknew Roscoe Pringle hadsome of the best peachesyou could buy.

The Grants Farm andGreen Houses are busygetting the hanging bas-kets filled with pottingsoil and different kinds offlowers - the season ishere. They have beenplanting pansies so theywill have plenty of flow-ers for spring. They haveto put some new plasticover some of the green-houses. The last time I

was over there they hadtomato plants four-to-five-inches tall for plant-ing early so they willhave ripe tomatoes inMay hopefully.

I told about plantingradishes and Parisiancarrots in some trayshere in the house. Theradishes are two inchestall now - I don’t know ifthey will have radishes ornot but I have somethinggreen here in the house.The Parisian carrots areup and growing - thesecarrots are round like aradish. They are sosweet. I have grown themfor a couple years after Iate some of them at LakeManor by Lake Grant onstate Route 68. They havethem on their salad bar.

Last Monday I put thehops over the raised bedand will cover it withplastic so the ground can

dry and warm up. I willplant onions in this bed assoon as I can. The onionbulbs I like are the earlyvariety.

I had a call aboutplanting in a five-gallonbucket. If you use one,put some rocks or chunksof wood in the bottomthen put about seveninches of potting soil ontop of the filler. You canplant one sweet potato orPontiac potato in thebucket. When the pottingsoil gets dry, water theplant. When the potatovine dies, pull the plantup and the taters will behanging on the vine. Youcan take your hands andpull the rest of the tatersout. The sweet potatovine needs to be prunedso the energy can go tothe potato instead of thevine. I have had some ofthe sweet potatoes weigh-

ing 11/2 pounds - that is afine tater. Some fineeating! You can growother vegetables in abucket if you don’t have alot of space to garden.

I was talking to Mikeat the Boars Head BaitShop in Afton. He saidthe crappie are bitinggood. One fishermencaught a two day limit abig crappie - now therewere two of them fishing.They said the crappiewere between 8 and 14feet deep.

Sherry’s Lake stockedFeb. 4 and is open forfishing on Friday, Sat-urday and Sunday. Thecharge for fishing is $17for three trout. Now youcan get your 2016 fishinglicense for the year.
