Wyoming High School hasadded an AP program that ap-proaches learning in a differentway, and provides an opportuni-ty for students to earn an addi-tional diploma.

The school joins Indian Hill,Oak Hills and Walnut Hills highschools in offering AP Cap-stone, two-year program for ju-niors and seniors that empha-sizes skills over content.

“They learn to research andapproach an issue, any issue,through a critical lens,” Wyo-ming High School assistantPrincipal Ashley Whitely said.Projects include individual and

collaborative work.“It’s a rigorous undertak-

ing.”Students apply during their

sophomore year, and are ac-cepted based on grades, teacherrecommendations and a writingsample. This year, 14 studentsentering their junior year ap-plied and were accepted,though one had to drop out be-cause of a scheduling conflict.Those students will remain to-gether for the two-year electiveclass, and upon completion, willbe awarded an AP Capstone di-ploma.

During their junior years,students take AP Seminar, andin their senior year, they takeAP Research.

The class is taught by ToddSiler and Matt Harms. Siler is asocial studies teacher, andHarms teaches math. The dif-ference in their academic spe-cialties is a strength for the pro-gram, Whitely said, because itbrings an interdisciplinary ap-proach that allows students tosee connections between issues.

“As a teacher, you’re teach-ing skills and using content as avehicle to get to the skill,” Silersaid. “We’re trying to get to tohow do we frame a researchquestion, how do I analyze read-ing or argument.

“The challenge is to wrap myhead around a broad theme like

Polling hours were extendedafter several municipalities ex-perienced problems with theelectronic sign-in machinesNov. 3. Evendale was one ofthose communities, when themachines wend down early inthe day, from about 7:30 a.m. to8:40 a.m., according to MayorDon Apking.

“People were standing inline, and finally some peoplehad to leave,” Apking said. “Idon’t know if they’re comingback.”

Apking was concerned thatthe equipment malfunctioncould impact the election formayor and village council in thevillage of 2,200 registered vot-ers.

“Our contests are going to beclose,” he said. “This could be aproblem. It could make a bigdifference.”

Evendale had the highestturnout of anyvoting district inHamilton County - 62.36 per-cent, according to HamiltonCounty Board of Elections re-

sults.Ron VonDenBenken was in

that line when the sign-in ma-chines failed. He had to leave,but returned in the afternoon.

“They were having issuesand the line was long, but I feltmy vote was important.”

The importance of votingwasn’t lost on Jennifer Mitsch,who brought her son Joey to thepolls.

“He understands it’s his civicduty and responsibility to be anactive part of his community,”Jennifer Mitsch said. “It’s im-portant to choose who will rep-resent you the best and keepyour community safe.”

A couple of residents came tothe polls with differing views onIssue 3, which would have legal-ized marijuana for medical andrecreational uses. The issuewas soundly defeated, with 73percent of Ohio voters sayingno.

“It’s going to lead to some-thing higher,” Elaine Celenzasaid, “and we will have to payfor it in the long run.”

globalization and use naynumber of topics to arriveat these skills,” he said ofthe students’ task.

Siler and Harms start-ed the semester leadingstudents through theprocess. In the secondunit, students are drivingthe process, selecting top-ics and identifying theirresearch questions, towhich they will apply theskills they learned in thefirst unit.

“Now, we’re more of aguiding hand in that proc-ess,” Siler said.

Harms said the free-dom to choose is double-edged.

“It’s overwhelming tofind pieces that will hit thetopics you are trying toteach,” he said. “Now,they are starting to seethat, as they sift throughthe information.”

Siler used the exampleof sweatshop labor to il-lustrate the class.

“One student is puttingtogether a paper explor-ing the benefits from aneconomic lens. Another istaking the question ‘do thebenefits outweigh’ from apolitical lens. Another ap-proaches it from an ethi-cal lens. Then, they syn-thesize their information

into one paper, to presentthe different argumentsbeing made.”

They examine the topicfrom the perspectives of abusiness, individualworker, and U.S. or non-industrialized nation.

Finally, students pre-sent their findings.

The value of this classgoes beyond high school,as students learn skillsthey will need in collegeand in the work force, theteachers said.

“These are skills need-ed in other courses,” Silersaid, “but having the op-portunity to pull it togeth-er in one class is valu-able.”

Her husband, FrankCelenza, agreed, citing his30 years as a police offi-cer.

“When they get start-ed, they want to kick ithigher,” he said. “Theynever stopped with mari-juana.”

Margie Blomer dis-agreed.

“I have a relative inDenver who told me thecrime rate has not gone up

there,” she said, hinting ather vote. Colorado legal-ized marijuana, with re-

strictions, for recreation-al use in 2012.

On a longer than usualelection day, HamiltonCounty voters had an op-portunity to vote until 9p.m., after difficultieswith electronic votersign-in books delayed vot-ers in several precincts.That could make a differ-ence in Glendale, wherethe race for mayor is sep-arated by a tenth of apoint.

Don Lofty led JennyKilgore, 50.1 percent to49.9 percent in a mayoralrace that brought 56 per-cent of voters to the polls.Kilgore is a member ofcouncil. Her term expiresin 2018. Lofty is the vil-lage’s solicitor. His termexpires in 2016.

Current Mayor RalphHoop and incumbentDave Schmid won uncon-tested races for villagecouncil seats. Four-yearterms of the mayor andcouncil members take ef-fect in January 2016. Nocandidate ran for clerktreasurer, so that seat willbe appointed.

Sharonville voterselected members of coun-cil, as well as mayor,president of council, audi-tor and law director. Kev-in Hardman will remainas mayor, and Vicki Hop-pe was re-elected as presi-dent of council in uncon-tested races. Mark Piep-meier was uncontestedfor law director, and EdCunningham had no oppo-sition for auditor. Uncon-tested city council racesin the city’s four wardswere won by Shayok Dut-ta in Ward 1, Dave Koch in

Ward 2, Paul Schmidt inWard 3, and Paul Schmidtin Ward 4.

Five candidates soughtthree seats in the at-largecouncil race. The topthree vote-getters in unof-ficial results were MikeWilson, Sue Knight andCharles Lippert, over Pat-ty Taylor and incumbentMathew Eggenberger.

All Sharonville electedofficials begin their termsin January.

Voters also approved areferendum that allowsthe city to renew its con-tract with Hamilton Coun-ty Public Health. Thiscomes a year after thecity dissolved its healthdepartment.

“The decision to con-tract with Hamilton Coun-ty Public Health for citypublic health services is aperfect example of newleadership exploring op-tions,” Hardman said.“Over 70 percent of vot-ers said ‘yes’ to council'sdecision.

“The city can now con-tinue to deliver excellentpublic health service toour community at a sub-stantial reduction inprice.”

With a turnout of 43percent, Sharonville pollsdidn’t experience equip-ment malfunction, but onevoter wasn’t a fan of thenew sign-in procedure.

“I object to the comput-erization,” Matthew Rob-bins said. “As an engineer,I understand everythingcan be hacked.”

Steven Blomer fa-vored the electronic sign-in.

“It’s good to see it insomething like this,”

Blomer said, “getting in-tegrated into a new sys-tem.”

Robbins also had con-cerns about Issue 2 and Is-sue 3.

“I’m anti-prohibition,but I couldn’t vote for Is-sue 3,” Robbins said. “Itseemed like it was writtenby someone going after aspecific outcome. If Issue3 is the answer, there hasto be a competing model.”

Blomer agreed withthe importance of pre-venting monopolies, butsupported the legalizationof marijuana.

“There’s a lot of moneygoing into the wronghands,” he said. “I want itin the right hands. It’s hap-

pening, it’s out there, andwe need to make it posi-tive money.”

Issue 3 was defeatedstatewide, with 73 percentof voters saying no to le-galizing marijuana.

Voting habits beganearly for a couple of Shar-onville families.

Markella and DwaynePeak brought their four-year-old daughter Mariahto the polls.

“She will when she’sold enough, that her votematters,” Markella said.“We want her to learn thatif you don’t vote, you can’tcomplain.”

Dylan Coyle had whatseemed like a millionquestions about the issuesand candidates for hismom, Christina. Shebrought him and hisbrother Austin to thepolls.

“I wanted them to getthe experience, to seewhat voting was allabout,” she said. “I neverimagined all the questionshe’d ask.”

Forty-two percent ofvoters cast ballots inSpringdale, where MayorDoyle Webster was re-elected over MarjorieHarlow.

Dan Shroyer and Law-rence Hawkins led thecity council race over can-didates Carolyn Ghan-tous, Dan Jacobs, WilliamHafer, Mick Higgins andColleen Kerns for twoseats. Terms begin in De-cember.

Wyoming City Councilcandidates were unop-posed, with current mem-

bers re-elected to fouryear terms, which beginDec. 1. Current MayorBarry Porter received themost votes and will re-main mayor. Other coun-cil members who will re-tain their seats are JenniMcCauley, PamelaKamm, Jim O’Reilly,Keith Desserich and Jen-nifer Eismeier.

Wyoming Board ofEducation members Jean-

ie Zoller and Todd Levywere re-elected. Bothseats were uncontested.

In the Princeton CitySchool District, incum-bents Susan Wyder andSandy Leach were re-elected to the Board ofEducation. New to theschool board is Gina Ruf-fin Moore, who won thethird seat over Jon MyronSimons.

What’s a brookie? If you’re likemost folks, you’d say you don’t havea clue. So you read it here first: acombo of a cookie and brownie.

I was hooked after tasting one atthe Empty Bowl Soup Event for KidsCafé last week with friend and col-league, Chef Deb Goulding. When Iinquired about the brookies, ChefJudy Walsh, educator at the Interna-tional Culinary School at the ArtInstitute of Cincinnati, told me herstudents made them.

I liked them so much that I wanted to sharea recipe with you. Now this one is a “speedscratch,” from a box mix and refrigerated

cookie dough. I don’t have room here formy recipe which is all from scratch, but ifyou want that, check out my abouteating.com website.

Tip from Rita’ s kitchenAdd defatted drippings from roasted

turkey to the gravy on Thanksgiving Day.

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist,educator, Jungle Jim’s Eastgate culinaryprofessional and author. Find her blog on-line at Abouteating.com. Email her at

[email protected] with “Rita’skitchen” in the subject line.

Brookies

No real recipe, but here’s how I did it:

1 box brownie mix - I used milk chocolate, but use your favorite1 pack refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough

To make cupcake shaped brookies:I made the brownie mix according to package directions for cake like

brownies and poured it about 2/3 of the way up into muffin tins which werelined with paper liners. This is important; otherwise they stick terribly,whether your recipe is from a box mix or from scratch. I rolled a scant table-spoon of cookie dough into a ball, then flattened it out and smooshed itdown just a tiny bit on top of the batter. After baking at 350 for 25 minutesthey were done. A toothpick inserted in the center came out pretty clean.

What happens is the brookie has a cookie top with a brownie bottom.It made 12 brookies.

To bake in pan like brownies:Follow directions on brownie box and lay flattened cookie dough in

rows on top.

My best make-ahead gravy for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving will be here before you know it. To take some stress outof making the feast, each week I’ll share a make-ahead recipe so you won’tbe chained to the stove on Turkey Day.

I add onion peels into this stock for nutrients and color. This is adaptedfrom one I clipped from a magazine years ago, and it really works.

6 turkey wings1 very large or 2 medium yellow onions (not sweet), quartered 1 cup water8 cups good quality low sodium or salt free chicken broth, divided1 nice carrot, chopped - leave peel on1 rib celery, chopped1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or 2 teaspoons fresh Handful fresh parsley (opt)3/4 cup flour2 tablespoons butter or fat from stockSalt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put wings in single layer in sprayedroasting pan. Scatter onions over top. Roast for an hour or so - wings will benicely browned.

Place wings, onions and peels if using in a pot. Add water to roastingpan and stir, scraping up any brown bits. Add to pot. Stir in 6 cups broth,carrot, celery, parsley and thyme. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer andcook uncovered about 1-1/2 hours.

Remove wings and pull off skin and meat. Discard skin and save meatfor another use. Strain stock into pot. Press on veggies to extract remainingliquid. Discard veggies and skim fat off. If you want, this is easier done if yourefrigerate the stock. Fat will congeal to top, making it easy to remove. (Ifyou do it this way, you can save 2 tablespoons of fat and replace the buttercalled for in step 5 with the fat).

Now bring this to a gentle boil.Whisk flour into remaining 2 cups chicken broth until smooth. Gradu-

ally whisk into simmering broth; simmer until gravy thickens. Stir in savedfat or butter and season to taste.

Refrigerate up to a week or freeze up to 2 months.

A publication of

Nov. 4 questionWhy did you go the polls Nov.

3, or why did you stay home?What were the most importantissues and races in your commu-nity?

“I will go to the polls Nov. 3.However if Issue 3 passes itcould be the last election I votein because I will then have areason for becoming evenmore lazy and apathetic. Tothat point I think Issue 3 is avery important one. There isthe approval or rejection of le-galization of marijuana. Thenthere is the provision of hav-ing that approval actuallywritten into the state constitu-tion, which makes it some-thing that would be very verydifficult and costly to everoverturn. Then there is thebusiness model of an industryoligarchy which passage ofthe issue would create, a mod-el that would be approved forthe already chosen marijuanafarmers.”

C.S.

“I have voted via mail forover 10 years. Anyone can doit. I am amazed how few folksknow of this facility. I felt thetwo marijuana issues alongwith the (Northwest Schools)bond issue were the most im-portant. Getting Colerain newTownship leadership was alsoimportant to me. I have tiredof Colerain trustees turningaway millions of revenue dol-lars from Rumpke for Cole-rain Township. They thenwasted thousands of taxpayermoney on legal fees fightingRumpke to appease the veryvocal minority. It appears thesilent majority of voters gottheir new trustee to fix this. Aspredicted the township losttheir latest legal appeal on thismatter. Rumpke can now ex-pand onto property that was ofno use to anyone else. Go fig-ure!”

T.D.T.

“I went to the polls Nov. 3,particularly to have my votecounted on the issues. Howev-er, I do vote in all elections forthe simple reason that I don'twant the left-leaning main-stream media and the radicalliberal agenda determiningthe fate of my country and mylife as they have been doing.Taking myself to the voting

site gives me a sense of prideand fulfillment for supportingmy Constitution, a privilegefor which I am still entitled toby living in a democratic soci-ety.”

Oct. 28 questionShould college education be

free? Why or why not?

“When are people going torealize that nothing is ‘free?’Maybe colleges should stopraising tuition to make theirinstitution look more presti-gious than other institutionsstrictly because the costmore.”

Christopher W. Bryan

“College education shouldnot be free. America cannotafford it; there are already toomany entitlement programs.Beyond that, the inclinationbystudents not to feel such aresponsibility to apply them-selves is likely because theywill not have any skin in thegame. Many college studentsalready fail to graduate for avariety of reasons, possiblybecause the classwork de-mands are too much, possiblybecause they haven’t been se-riously invested in the privi-lege; it could be any number ofthings.

“Whatever the reason,America does not need to clogup its institutions of highereducations with an influx ofmore students simply becauseit’s a free ride for young peo-ple who may or may not haverespect for the opportunityand who may just want to putoff the responsibilities of sup-porting themselves for a bitlonger.”

Wyoming PresbyterianChurch director of communi-cations Linda Crank is anotherof our enormously talentedjewels who is a member of theGreenacres Artists Guild.

I was delighted to accepther invitation to visit theguild’s art show. Wyoming’sacclaimed CJ Payne (also aguild member) was preparingfor a lecture, so we didn’t get

to talk much, butI did buy one ofhis books whichLinda was kindenough to havesigned for me.

She has beenassociated withthe guild sinceits 2012 incep-tion, and thisyear was thethird annual

exhibit in Indian Hill. Louisand Louise Nippert purchasedGreenacres Farm from theGreen family and WindingCreek Farm from the JuliusFleischmann estate. The landproduces environmentallyfriendly raised beef, poultry,lamb, pork, eggs and honey forsale. The Nipperts establishedGreenacres Foundation as anon-profit enterprise offeringeducation about art, gardening,the environment, developingchildren’s equine skills andwater quality.

The Greenacres Art Centershowcases paintings of horses,vegetables, barns and otheragricultural features. Theguild artists display their workyear-round at the center andmeet several times a year tobrainstorm about art. Theyalso support the GreenacresArts Education Department byspeaking to school groups. Oneof the Greenacres staffthought it was a great ideawhen 26 professional localartists proposed forming aguild. She presented it to thefoundation, who agreed. FromOct. 16 through Nov. 15, theyoffer a month-long potpourri ofwine, craft beer, bourbon, cof-fee and tea tasting, galleryviewing, art discussions andon-site painting from guildmembers who submitted work

to be considered for FreshFrom the Farm Best of Show.Many events are free and opento the public.

Linda was born with turpen-tine and oil paint in her genes,courtesy of her grandfather inChicago. Her creativity wasstrongly encouraged by herparents. Linda attended TheAmerican Academy of Art inChicago, became a commercialartist and worked as an il-lustrator for newspaper arti-cles, books, magazines andadvertising agencies. Linda’swork has been represented bythe distinguished Closson’sGallery. Her biography reads,“My most rewarding projectwas revising and illustrating aliteracy primer while I, myhusband and two sons workedoverseas in Pakistan for 10years.” After all she has ac-complished, this talented wom-an never stops working todevelop her skills. From timeto time she continues to studyunder Cincinnatian, Carl Sam-son, repeat winner at the pres-tigious National Portrait Com-

petition.Along with a coffee/tea

tasting, Linda will be paintingat the Art Center from 9 a.m. to11 a.m. Nov. 14. She would loveto see you and says, “The ex-hibit at Greenacres would be adelightful way to spend a Sat-urday or Sunday out – thegrounds are beautiful.”

who won seatson the boardin the previ-ous Novemberelection. The32 teachersand one ad-ministratorwho dared tocampaign forthe losing sidesuffered theultimate em-

ployment consequence forexercising their public rightto choose.

To the surprise of the localsuperintendent and boardmembers, when the studentslearned about the fateful de-cision, they organized astrike. The day after the staffmembers were dismissed, atleast 500 students from allsections of the county con-structed strike signs andformed picket lines at the

Alas, their quest for rein-statement fell on the deafears of the board’s majoritymembers.

Recently, a national educa-tion newspaper published anop ed piece about student-ledstrikes. The writer listed 10reasons justifying a student“job action!” Reasons includ-ed: too many tests, inane sit-and-listen lessons, little or noinput on dress codes, and nosay in school decisions thataffect their lives as students.The article failed to includelife changing decisionsboards of education makeregarding the employment ofteachers and other membersof the school staff.

One very cold March dayin the mid 1950s the KnoxCounty Kentucky Board ofEducation fired all of theteachers who did not supportthe majority of candidates

entrance of each of the coun-ty’s two high schools.

Despite the former princi-pal’s encouragement to returnto school, the students per-sisted to conduct the strikeuntil the board reversed itswrongful decision and askedthe teachers to return to theclassrooms for the remainderof school year. All acceptedthe board’s offer and schoolresumed the next school day.Near the end of the year, themusic teacher, a dismissedfaculty member, directed theschool’s choir in its final per-formance which concludedwith the spiritual, “Goin toSow What you Reap!”

Meanwhile, the teachers’legal fight had only just be-gun. In an era when the basicmeans of communicationinvolved the dial telephoneand postal service, the wheelsof redemption turned very

slowly. The teachers heldmulti-evening strategic meet-ings in various homes to finda means to restore their posi-tions and professional integri-ty. Alas, their quest for rein-statement fell on the deafears of the board’s majoritymembers. In fact it wasn’tuntil late summer that theKentucky Education Associa-tion filed suit to restore theteachers and administrator tothe positions they once held.

By the time the court ren-dered its decision requiringthe board to re-employ every-one, most of the teachers hadalready accepted teachingpositions in other districts orentered private business.Although lives were changedforever, reforms to the stateof Kentucky’s tenure lawswere seeded within the deter-mined actions of the KnoxCounty students as well as the

unfair dismissals of manyother teachers across the thestate.

Thankfully, 60 years agostudents rose to the occasionto defend teachers who paveda way for them to becomeproductive citizens in theircommunity and beyond. To-day, for those members of theteaching profession who stillquestion the need for unionsand the protection of statestatutes, this is just one storythat reminds everyone that noone can stand alone and ev-eryone needs organized rep-resentation at some pointwithin their professional ser-vice.

By the way, the musicteacher and principal weremy parents.

MASON — Not long after thefinal bell ended Roger Bacon’sboys soccer season in a 2-0 lossto Cincinnati Country Day in aDivision III regional semifinalNov. 4 at Mason, coach MikeBraun rounded up his youngteam and reminded them they’llbe back.

After 80 minutes of pressureagainst CCD, Braun told hisguys: “Keep your heads up,we’re young. You don’t lose asingle starter, we’ve got thewhole team coming back thatmade it all the way to regionalsemifinals.”

Roger Bacon played CCDtough; Braun’s come to expectnothing less of his squad.

The pace played into CCD’sfavor first, when senior stand-out Sean O’Brien gave the Indi-ans a 1-0 lead in the 17th minute

with his 34th goal of the season.In the 21st minute, O’Brien

attempted to track down a high-bouncing feed that drew RogerBacon junior goalkeeper Jeor-don Kuderer out from betweenthe pipes. O’Brien and Kuderercollided in midair and Kudererstayed down for a few minutesafter landing awkwardly. Soph-omore Ethan Nye replaced Ku-derer, who did not return to thegame.

“Right now he’s on his way tothe hospital,” Roger Baconcoach Mike Braun said regard-ing Kuderer, who led the confer-ence in saves (142) this season.“He does have a concussion.(Trainer) said he lost conscious-ness when he hit the ground.

“We came out and we playedhard, we gave it everything wecould,” said Braun, who’s teamfinished ranked No. 10 in thestate in the Ohio Scholastic Soc-cer Coaches Division III poll.

Roger Bacon was the clearaggressor in the second halfwith its tournament life on theline. The Spartans had greatlooks in the second half off a di-rect kick just outside the boxfrom junior Alex Chittum, agreat cross from junior EthanHay that CCD keeper Ian McIn-turf secured from on theground, and a couple of cornerkicks from Sam Johnstone.

The Spartans (14-4-2) won’tsoon forget what they accom-plished in 2015, finishing run-ner-up in the Greater CatholicLeague Coed Central and a deeppostseason run. Its 14 wins arethe most in a season in over adecade, according to the confer-ence. Freshman Gideon Fombaled the Spartans with 13 goalsand six assists this season. Ju-nior Adam Eckart had 11 goalsand seven assists, while sopho-more Austin Fulton finishedwith 12 goals and three assists.

INDIAN HILL – Indian HillHigh School racked up its firstplayoff win in nearly eightyears with a 31-14 win overCincinnati Hills League rivalWyoming.

Junior quarterback ReedAichholz ran for two scoresand threw for two touchdownsto keep Indian Hill perfect thisseason.

are brothers, as are Wyo-ming’s Jake and Joey Ed-monds. Freshman Joey and ju-nior Jake got the Cowboys inscoring position late in thefirst quarter, with senior Jus-tin Shields finishing the drivewith a one-yard shimmy.

Midway through the sec-ond quarter, the Aichholzbrothers struck again withReed lofting a moon ball toDawson near the pylon for sixmore. With the Nick Heidel ex-tra point, the Braves led 14-7.

minutes.Finally, Wyoming got a

breakaway pass to seniorcaptain Jay Klein with17:06 remaining in thehalf. Klein calmly linedthe ball into the net for thegame’s first score.

The Cowboys ap-peared to be heading tothe break with a lead, un-til sophomore Eli Ramseyof Carroll placed a foot onacrossing pass to knot thegame.

Five minutes into thesecond half, the Patriotstook a 2-1advantage cour-tesy of Kreinbrink’seventual game-winningkick.

With less than 14 min-utes left, Wyoming hadseveral chances near thePatriot goal to tie. Withthe sphere bangingaround as if in a pinballmachine, it appeared theCowboys would get a for-tuitous bounce. However,it was covered by Carrollsophomore Ben Wourmsand Wyoming couldn’t

get any closer the rest ofthe contest.

“It was disappointingfor sure,” Wyomingcoach Steve Thomas said.“Dayton Carroll’s just afantastic team and pro-gram. I thought we gavethem everything theywould want to handle.They just happened to bebetter today.”

The Cowboys finishedthe regular season 11-3-2before reeling off tourna-ment victories againstNorwood, Clinton-Mas-sie, McNicholas, KentonRidge and Bishop Har-tley by a combined scoreof 24-2. The Hartley winat Wright State was a dou-ble-overtime thriller fea-turing Andrew Dergescoring both goals.

It was the final gamefor 11 seniors who haveexperienced consider-able success under SteveThomas. Jay Klein wasthe leading scorer for theseason. Also taking theirfinal kicks were MarshallHays, Tristan Kovach,Reece Dow, Nolan Mor-ley, Nicholas Robles, SethDewitt, Christopher Rut-ter, Charlie Oliver, Na-

than Gressel and IvanMeisner.

“We had great seniorleadership and my threecaptains (Klein, Dewitt,Meisner) did a great jobthis year,” Thomas said.“I’m very proud of them.”

In his 11th season,Thomas was mere inchesfrom a possible chance atovertime and Wyoming’sfirst state semifinal. In-stead, it was hugs andgoodbyes to a veterangroup and a look ahead tothe Cowboys of 2016.

“We have some really

good players on JV,”Thomas said. “They’resmall. I told them at theend of the JV season thatvarsity is a man’s game.They’re going to have toget bigger and stronger.We’re definitely going tomiss these 11 seniors.”

Wyoming will returnsecond-leading scorerAndrew Derge who wasfirst team All-State lastyear. Thomas expectsDerge and departing sen-ior and top scorer JayKlein to gain state recog-nition again.

On thenext play, Mason Rogerstoasted the Braves sec-ondary as Joey Edmondshit him in stride for a 92-yard highlight videohook-up.

In the fourth quarter,Reed Aichholz cementedthe win with his legs. Along run got the Braves inthe red zone again. Then,with 2:46 left, the 6-foot-5

cross between BenRoethlisberger and for-mer Bengal lefty BoomerEsiason banged in from ayard away and it was 31-14.

The game was iced onan interception by IndianHill’s Dan Becker. IndianHill ran the clock outfrom there for the win.

Wyoming finishes 8-3with losses to a pair oftournament teams, Read-ing and Indian Hill.

The Cowboys lost ju-nior starting quarter-back Andrew Martyagainst McNicholas Sept.11. Freshman Edmondstook over from there andstill managed Wyominginto the playoffs. On theupside, Marty and the Ed-monds brothers returnnext year.

“He (Joey Edmonds)did a great job in leadingthe team this year alongwith all of the seniors,”Wyoming coach AaronHancock said. “ We knewwe were going to have agood team this year. I’mvery proud of their effortand hard work and I’mproud to be their footballcoach.”

LIBERTY TWP. –Whether they called it achip on the shoulders orfuel to the fire, the MountNotre Dame volleyballteam wasn’t about to loseNov. 7 in its third straightDivision I regional finalshowdown with Girls’Greater Catholic Leaguerival Ursuline.

Not with a thirdstraight regional title onthe line and a chance at athird straight state titlein the balance. And cer-tainly not after comingup short twice this sea-son against the Lions.

The two-time defend-ing state champion Cou-gars, ranked No. 2 in thefinal Enquirer Division Iarea coaches’ poll, upsetNo. 1 Ursuline 25-23, 25-21, 13-25, 25-19, Saturdayat Lakota West HighSchool for their thirdstraight regional title.

Mount Notre Damewill play Toledo St. Ursu-la Nov. 13 at 2 p.m. atWright State in the sec-ond of two Division Istate semifinals. Thewinner will play for thetitle Saturday at 3 p.m.

“Losing to them twicekind of put a chip on ourshoulders,” Mount NotreDame senior middleblocker Dani Szczepan-ski said. “It makes uswant to come out harder.We know them prettywell personally as well asas players. So I just thinkthat losing to them putextra fire under us andmade us want to come outharder.”

Szczepanski and sen-ior outside hitter SydneyMukes came up with bigplay after big play Satur-day, especially in thefourth set after Ursulinestayed alive with a domi-nant performance in thethird.

“It was just fuel to thefire because we don’twant to lose to them threetimes and we’ve gotten somuch better than the lasttime we played them,”Mukes said. “It’s the lasttime that I’ll ever get toplay them and I surewanted to leave a mark.”

Szczepanski and soph-omore Tori Beckelhimerteamed up for the finalblock in the middle of thenet to seal the win. The

Cougars won five of thelast seven points in the fi-nal set to pull away.

“We have relied onthose girls all year, alongwith everybody else,”Mount Notre Damecoach Joe Burke said ofMukes and Szczepanski.“But Dani and Sydneyhave had the opportunityto play in some bigmatches and we werecounting on them to comeup big as this match wentalong. I’m very proud ofthem for everythingthey’ve done.

“This whole seniorclass has been through alot in the Mount NotreDame volleyball pro-gram and it’s kind oftheir leadership, along

with their volleyball,along with just beinggood people, really foreverybody on the team.I’ve really enjoyedcoaching these girls andI’m glad that we have an-other week with them.”

Ursuline had outlast-ed Mount Notre Dame,26-24, 25-15, 18-25, 26-28,15-11, Oct. 1 at Mount No-tre Dame, holding off atwo-set rally by the Cou-gars on their home floor.Ursuline also won 25-18,25-22, 25-18 Sept. 15 at Ur-suline after Mount NotreDame had won the previ-ous four matches, includ-ing three last season andthe past two Division I re-gional finals.

“We’re completelydifferent,” Szczepanskisaid of her team. “We’repassing better. We’reserving better. We’re hit-ting better. Everyone isreally stepping up theirgame in all aspects.”

Mukes said the Cou-gars played more as ateam Saturday than theyhad the previous twomeetings.

“There was a lot of en-ergy on the court andwhen we were down, wejust all had everybody’sbacks,” Mukes said.

Now the Cougars havea chance for a thirdstraight state title aswell.

“We’ll see,” Szczepan-ski said. “We’re going towork hard and we’re def-initely going to try to doit. We’ll see how it goes.”

LIBERTY TWP. – TheMoeller boys soccer teamended its season at 9-6-7after bowing to Mason 1-0in the Division I Region 4tournament final Nov. 7,following a strong post-season run. The Crusad-ers were 4-5-7 as late asOct. 13.

Against Beavercreek

in the Division I regionalsemi, Moeller overcame a1-0 deficit to tie the gamein the second half, thenwon in overtime courtesyof senior HaydenSchriml, 2-1.

During the season, theCrusaders had an aston-ishing 12 games wherethey scored one goal orless. Between Sept. 6-15,they amazingly had fiveconsecutive ties with a to-tal of four goals on their

way to an improbable to-tal of seven draws over-all.

Finally on Oct. 20,coach Randy Hurley’sgroup became more ac-quainted with the net withfive goals in their openingtournament win overPrinceton. They followedwith a 1-0 victory over An-derson, a 3-2 overtimethriller against Turpin, a3-1 win over Lakota Westand the overtime win

against Beavercreek toadvance to play Mason.

The Comets wereMoeller’s 10th rankedteam on the 2015 menu.

“We don’t duck any-body,” Moeller coachRandy Hurley said.“We’ve been in this situa-tion all year.”

Mason’s reward is a re-turn trip to the state semi-finals against the Region3 champion at 7 p.m. Nov.11. The final is Nov. 14.

COLUMBUS - Mid-way through the secondhalf.

That’s when UrsulineAcademy’s hopes of ad-vancing to Saturday’sstate championship fieldhockey game took a bighit. Thomas Worthing-ton’s Rachel Rinaldi slid ashot by Lions’ netminderSam Ward. Bigger blowsfollowed as the Cardinalskept applying pressureand scored two more,putting the game out ofreach.

Worthington, with its3-0 victory, advanced toplay the winner of Co-lumbus Academy andHudson.

“I was thinking it wasgoing to be more like a 1-0game,” Ursuline coachElli Workum said. “Theygot us on our heels andmade it 3-0, which was abummer. I have eightseniors who are very sadat this point.”

The Cardinals createdchaos in front of Ward formost of the first half.Each time she found away to get her stick onthe ball or knock it awaywith her pads.

In the second half, thepressure didn’t let up.

In one sequence late inthe second half, Wor-thington had corner aftercorner. Ward was all overthe crease trying to clearthe ball.

One of her attemptsfound Rinaldi, who putthe first point on theboard.

“She was one of myseniors who wanted tohave a good showing,”

Workum said of Ward.“It’s hard when you havepeople coming at you likethat. But she never quit.She played out of herhead.”

After the Cardinalsadded two more, the Li-ons now had two ene-mies: the opponent on thefield and the clock.

With under 10 minutesremaining, the Lions gotone of the few corner op-portunities they had inthe game. The ball got toJillian Shive’s stick butthe opportunity went bythe wayside.

Ursuline entered thiscontest averaging sixgoals per game in thepostseason.

“We couldn’t get itdown there (on their sideof the field),” the coachsaid. “They were too ag-gressive for us. We need-ed to get rid of it faster.”

The Lions finish theseason 12-8.

Eight seniors departafter leaving a solid foun-dation. The Lions wontheir first Southwest Dis-trict title in three yearslast weekend, advancingto the state final four forthe first time since 2012after stalling in the dis-trict final in 2013 and2014.

They return 14 playersfor next year, Shive in-cluded.

“They know they cancome back and build offthis,” Workum said.“They got to experiencethis, and that’s a goldenopportunity. It’s hard. It’sa lot of pressure comingup to this level. Nowthey’ve felt it, and havetheir job cut out for themnext year.”

Greater Cincinnati Wa-ter Works is one of twoutilities to receive theprestigious “2015 Out-standing SubscriberAward for Applied Re-search.”

The Water ResearchFoundation is an interna-tionally recognized leaderin sponsoring researchthat supports the watercommunity in holisticallyand cooperatively manag-ing water from all sourcesto meet social, environ-

mental, and economicneeds.

Their OutstandingSubscriber Award for Ap-plied Research honorssubscribing utilities thathave made notable im-provements to their treat-ment, delivery and/ormanagement processesthrough the successfulapplication of WRF re-search.

“This is a true testa-ment of GCWW’s commit-ment to water quality re-

search to enhance our wa-ter treatment systems forthe protection of our cus-tomers,” said Tony Par-rott, Executive Directorof Greater Cincinnati Wa-ter Works and the Metro-politan Sewer District ofGreater Cincinnati.

GCWW is being recog-nized for its research toaddress critical infra-structure and operationalissues facing utilitiesacross the country andsubsequent application of

the findings to createunique solutions.

Most notably, GCWWused WRF research in thedesigning, building andoperation of its Ultravio-let (UV) treatment sys-tem and shared those re-sults with WRF subscrib-ers highlighting UV oper-ations best practices.

Water Quality Superin-tendent Jeff Swertfegersaid GCWW has partici-pated in more than 100WRF research projectssince 1983 and has con-ducted several WRF re-search projects.

“This is a great honorand tribute not to an indi-vidual person, but to an or-

ganization with a long-standing culture of want-ing to understand its chal-lenges, wanting to im-prove its practices, andwanting to share its ownideas and practices so thatothers may improve aswell.”

Water Works awarded for research

As a mother, DebbieMcConnell has devotedmuch of her life to helpingothers. So after hearingabout AARP’s Life Re-imagined event in Sharon-ville, she decided shewould spend a day thereconcentrating on her ownneeds.

At the end of the day,she left determined to un-dertake more projectsthat would give her asense of accomplishment,including writing a blogfor parents of childrenwith disabilities.

“The experience hasgiven me energy, drive,passion and enthusiasm toput these Life Reimag-ined tools to use and keepgoing,” she said.

McConnell, of NorthCollege Hill, was one ofmore than 225 people whotook a first step – and insome cases the next step –in using the Life Reimag-ined system to focus onwhat really matters tothem.

Nine speakers as wellas Second City Works – animprovisational theatergroup – inspired, educat-ed and entertained peopleat Life Reimagined: Pur-suing Purpose and Pas-sion, a day-long experi-ence at the SharonvilleConvention Center.

Life Reimagined is apersonal guidance systemAARP developed to helppeople live with moremeaning. People whomissed it can attend LifeReimagined Checkupsheld each month acrossGreater Cincinnati. Thecheckups are two-hourworkshops that help par-ticipants take stock oftheir life experiences,identify their talents,skills and values, and be-gin to plan for the future –all in the company of oth-er people in similar cir-cumstances.And they canuse the Life Reimaginedwebsite to guide them aswell.

The speakers – includ-ing a TV broadcaster, so-ciologist, rabbi and actor –

had vastly differentlybackgrounds, but theyshared a common mes-sage: a person’s attitudecan make a dramatic dif-ference in their successand happiness.

Keynote speaker ChrisGardner realized thatwhen he was homelesswith his son – living in theSan Francisco subwaysystem – he could “drive”them out of there becausehe was the one who had“driven” them there. Hefound his passion – being astockbroker – and then,despite setbacks, becamea multi-millionaire. Helater wrote his autobiog-raphy, “The Pursuit ofHappyness,” which wasturned into an award-win-ning movie, starring WillSmith.

He credits his motherwith instilling in him theattitude that he could door become anything aslong as it was somethingthat he was passionateabout. “She gave me per-mission to dream,” hesaid.

Three times during theday, Second City Worksacted out scenarios on theballroom stage, usingcrowd members at times,to illustrate obstacles thathold people back.

One skit, for instance,had a character who re-jected every opportunity,another who said “yes” toevery opportunity and athird who took small,somewhat meaninglessrisks.

“It’s easy to reach yourdreams when you set yourbar really low,” one of theactors said. “And whenyou say ‘yes’ to every-thing, you don’t reallyhave to decide what’s im-portant to you.”

Rabbi Abie Ingber, ex-ecutive director of XavierUniversity’s Center forInterfaith CommunityEngagement, urged peo-ple to perform simplegood deeds in simple ways-- acts of the heart – by giv-ing gifts of their time,words, spirit and mind.

“These are our mostprecious gifts, and eachperson here has a trea-sure chest from which tooffer them,” he said.

At the end of the day,Nicole Ware of DelhiTownship, AARP’s Ohioassociate state director,asked the crowd forwords that describe howthey felt. The replies in-cluded, “inspired,” “invig-orated” and “revitalized.”

She sent the crowdhome with these words:“Go out and conquer theworld.”

Lots of Life Reimag-ined Checkups are com-ing up in Greater Cincin-nati. To find one, go to lo-cal.aarp.org.

Members of the General Assem-

bly clearly voiced their support for

a smoke-free Kentucky bill for the

2015 session last week that mirrors

previously failed legislation in 2014.

Denouncing the argument that a

smoke-free bill prohibiting smoking

in public places would kill business,

Brent Cooper, a business owner

from northern Kentucky, said not

only are businesses prospering

across the Ohio River in Cincinnati

with a smoke-free law, but that the

pubs in Ireland haven’t shut down

since the country put a ban on

smoking in the workplace 10 years

ago.Many legislators conferred that

public smoking was indefensible in

Kentucky given the state’s bad

health ratings compared to other

states throughout the U.S.

According to testimony from

Wayne Meriwether, CEO of Twin

Lakes Regional Medical Center,

second-hand smoke is just as dan-

gerous for those that don’t smoke.

all Kentuckians smoke. We lead the

“Together we lay thestones to build a strongercommunity.”

That was the theme ofthe Jewish Family Ser-vice 71st annual meeting,attended by more than250 supporters, donors,funders, volunteers andstaff.

Each group was askedto stand for a moment ofrecognition for their dedi-cation to helping JewishFamily Service strength-en lives in times of need.

The attendees re-ceived a polished pocketstone engraved with aword – dream, hope, in-spire, strength, or imag-ine – representing JewishFamily Service’s vision tobuild a stronger commu-nity. The stones werepackaged with a personalnote handwritten by aJewish Family Serviceclient, including “I wouldbe on the street or home-less if it wasn’t for the ser-vices of JFS,” and “Youare proof that there areangels among us.”

Addressing the eve-ning’s guests, newly in-stalled Jewish Family Ser-vice President Andi Lev-enson said, “It’s upon yourstrength that the four pil-lars of our agency stand,and which lift up the 4062people whose lives werechanged in 2014 throughour compassionate andprofessional social ser-vices.”

The meeting wasopened by outgoing Presi-dent Mark Miller. He in-troduced the special guestspeaker Joyce GarverKeller, executive directorof Ohio Jewish Communi-ties, and thanked her for“advocating for the issuesthat affect the people we

serve, providing valuableservice to not just ourJewish Family Service,but to all Jewish organiza-tions throughout the stateof Ohio, advancing ourcauses and allowing us tofulfill our dreams.”

Keller spoke of the im-portance of supportingboth Israel and our localcommunity. She was pre-sented with a Shofar tocommemorate her tire-less work for the past 25years.

Miller also presented aTzedakah box to RossMeyer, Vice President ofCommunity Impact, Unit-ed Way of Greater Cincin-nati, to celebrate the 100thanniversary of UnitedWay. The word Tzedakahin Hebrew means righ-teousness, and the box isused to collect charitabledonations throughout theyear.

“United Way is a righ-teous organization, fight-ing every day to ensureeconomic and social jus-tice for all,” Miller said.“This box signifies the im-portance of the criticalfunds you raise for our re-gion.”Miller reflected onhis presidency as helooked back at the accom-plishments of 2014, whichsignified hope fulfilled.

He also announced thatthe board unanimouslyvoted to change BethSchwartz’s title to chiefexecutive officer.

“This title recognizesher role in the organiza-tion and the respect thatshe has earned in ouragency, in our communityand nationally with AJF-CA, our trade associa-tion,” said Miller.

Miller then recognizedthose who inspire Jewish

Family Service as he pre-sented awards.

The Miriam Dettel-bach Award, given in hon-or of the first executivedirector of Jewish FamilyService as recognition ofexceptional volunteer ser-vice to the agency, waspresented to Suzy MarcusGoldberg and SusanShorr, co-chairs of the2014 Dancing with OurStars event.

“Their extraordinaryefforts turned the eventinto a smashing success,and Jewish Family Ser-vice is happy to announcethat there will be anotherDancing with Our Starsgala in 2016,” Miller said.The upcoming event willbe co-chaired by Alyce El-lison, M.J. Guttman andSarah Ganson.

Miller introduced Mor-ry Goldberg to presentthe Betty R. GoldbergAward for CommunityService or Resilience &Self-Improvement,named for his wife. Thisaward is given to a menteein the Jewish Family Ser-vice Bigs & Littles youth

mentoring program andrecognizes a Little whohelps others by perform-ing good deeds and acts ofkindness. This year’s win-ner, Eliza Jackson, will re-ceive a $1,000 savingsbond to be used to furtherher education or to enrollin enrichment/self-better-ment opportunities.

The final award of thenight was the Staff Lon-gevity Award. This recog-nition is given to employ-ees who have completed5-year milestones of ser-vice at Jewish Family Ser-vice. This year’s recipi-ents were Cherie McCar-thy (five years), SherryKaplan (15 years), BethSchwartz (15 years) andPatty Bonem (20 years).

After the conclusion ofthe awards, the newBoard of Jewish FamilyService was installed. TheExecutive Committee isAndi Levenson, presi-dent; Larry Juran, presi-dent elect and co-treasur-er; Marcus Saskin, co-treasurer; Susan Shorr,secretary; Mark Miller,immediate past presi-dent, and Daniel Kerbeland Max Yamson, presi-dential appointees atlarge.

Newly elected to theBoard are Jared Kam-rass, Dan Rapp, NancySteinberg Warren and De-

nise Weinstein. Continu-ing on the Board areBruce Baker, MelanieBlumental, Amy Dia-mond, Alyce Ellison, SuzyMarcus Goldberg, TonjaGoldman, Elaine Kaplan,Mark Knue, Lev Orlov,Daniel Phillips, StuartRabkin, Pam Sacherman,Scott Slovin, Tom Smith,Paul Spitz and MichaelSutter.

In her new presidentreflections, Levensonimagined the future,“Let’s take Jewish FamilyService to a place that willbe able to help more peo-ple with critical strug-gles; to help more peoplewho do not know how tocare for their sick or el-derly loved ones; to helppeople who desperatelywant to adopt a child; andto help more people gainthe education they need tomake good decisionsabout their families.”

Schwartz tied togetherthe theme that “Togetherwe lay the stones to build astronger community.”She told an allegory aboutstone layers, symbolizinghow each person’s visionof the future could impactthe work being done byJewish Family Service ona daily basis.

“Midrash says, ‘A com-munity is too heavy to car-ry alone.’ Our community

needs our help. As Jews,we are obligated to worktogether to help others, torepair the world, TikunOlam. We don’t serve peo-ple in need because theyare Jewish. We serve peo-ple in need because we areJewish.”

In her vision of the fu-ture, Jewish Family Ser-vice will be an even great-er safe haven for those inneed in the community.With the help of “stonelayers” – donors, volun-teers, staff, and funders –this vision of a strongertomorrow can become areality.

Prior to the annualmeeting a private recep-tion featuring Joyce Gar-ver Keller was held forCreate Your Jewish Lega-cy donors. Legacy donorsmade a commitment tocontinue their impact toour community beyondtheir lifetime. They werepresented with pottedpalms to illustrate a pas-sage from the Talmud,“Just as others planted forme, I plant for future gen-erations.”

Photos from the eve-ning and the annual reportincluding names of all2014 donors, volunteers,and partners can be seenon the Jewish Family Ser-vice website www.jfscin-ti.org.
