Bucket list trip ends in tragedy Sheila Vilvens

They flew to Las Vegas together to check off bucket list items in the surrounding area. Their trip ended abruptly on Aug. 14 with a tragic car accident on the Interstate 11 highway near Boulder City, Nevada, that took both their lives. Steve Mondy and Chris Levo, both of Milford, were the best of friends. Their families say the friendship started about five decades earlier in high school. Mondy was a Loveland student. Levo attended Sycamore. See TRAGEDY, Page 1A "Broadway" Blake strikes a dance pose in front of the New York City mural on the wall of his bedroom in Loveland. CHUCK GIBSON FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

They call him Broadway Blake, but now 14-year-old Blake Funk is dancing his way to Broadway. The Loveland teen is moving to New York City Sept. 8 to begin training at the prestigious Joﬀrey Ballet School the following Monday. Just one year ago the eighth-grader was featured with the Loveland Middle School show choir, Revolution. It was his only year with the group under the direction of Shawn Miller. “Blake is an incredibly talented young man,” said Miller. “He’s an incredible dancer. It was great to have him here for a little while. We’ll miss him here in Loveland, but certainly he is doing what he needs to do for his passion.” Blake showed “talent beyond his years” that Miller hopes will lead the teen beyond his passion and onto the professional stage. “It is great to see great things happen to great kids,” Miller said. “He works really hard.” Blake began as a wrestler. His dad, Brett Funk, still says he was a good wrestler, but recalls the day his wife asked if he knew why Blake was wrestling.

“Hopefully because he likes it,” Brett said he replied to Dawn. “She said, no, he feels like he’s on stage and everybody’s watching him.” Blake wrestled because he thought that’s what his dad wanted.

Sycamore Schools names assistant principals

To place an obituary in the Community Press/Recorder newspapers

Two new assistant principals for the 20182019 school year have been announced by Sycamore Community Schools. Jenny Ament will join the administrative team at Blue Ash Elementary. Ament comes to Sycamore from Lakota Local Schools where she has served for the past ﬁve years as an elementary

teacher and an interim assistant principal. Most recently, Ament served as interim assistant principal at Cherokee Elementary. “Blue Ash Elementary deserves the best, and we believe we have found that in Jenny Ament,” said Leslie Combs, Blue Ash Elementary principal. “With her extensive and varied background in education, I know that she will be a great addition to an already amazing group.” Ament has 16 years of

classroom experience, teaching fifth grade at Adena Elementary, fourth grade at Hopewell Elementary, seventh grade at Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow Online Charter School, and first and second grade at Fairfield East Elementary. She received her Master's in Educational Leadership from Concordia University and her Principal’s Licensure from University of Cincinnati. Ament graduated from

Sycamore High School in 1996. “I have been an Aviator since second grade. It has always been a dream of mine to return to this extraordinary district,” she said. Ament will replace Monya Jones, who resigned in June to pursue a career outside of education.

the crash occurred. “They were having a great time,” Levo said. A Celebration of Life for both Levo and Mondy was scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 26 at Horizon Community Church Chapel in Newtown. Members of the Levo family were volunteers and attendees at Horizon Community Church, connections pastor John Kirby said. Chris Levo’s sense of humor and energy will be greatly missed, he said. The trip was a chance of a lifetime for Mondy who never had the opportunity to travel. He spent the majority of his life helping other people, daughter Stephanie Mondy said. He married twice. He lost both wives to illness, she said. As their health failed, he was there to care for them.

He was also tethered to his business, Kyle Mondy said. A third-generation cobbler, he learned the business from his father. Wyoming Shoe Repair was opened by Claude Mondy in the 1960s. Steve Mondy purchased the business from his father in the 1980s. Kyle and Stephanie Mondy used the Wyoming Shoe Repair Facebook page and webpage to announce his death. They are making plans to reunite people with their belongings. Susan Levo said her husband worked many years as a distributor for Dolly Madison, which later became Hostess. His route brought him into contact with numerous people. Many of them are generously reaching out to the family expressing sympathy and support, she said.

Ron Brooks steps in at Sycamore Junior High The district has also

named Ron Brooks as interim assistant principal at Sycamore Junior High School for the 2018-2019 school year. Brooks will replace George Sturgeon who has accepted a principal position at Bethel Tate High School. Brooks retired as principal of Maple Dale Elementary in 2016 after more than four decades of service to Sycamore Community Schools.

Levo was like Guy Fieri and loved food, Kyle Mondy, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, said of his father’s friend. The bucket list journey on which both men embarked was an opportunity for Mondy to visit sites of interest like Mt. Rushmore and the Grand Canyon. Levo was in it for the food. He wanted to experience diners along Route 66. Their entire trip was built around this concept. No advance reservations were made, according to Levo’s wife, Susan Levo. The men would call, she said, and work with her to ﬁnd a hotel room each night in a nearby town. They were nearing the end of their travels when

As the families struggle to make sense of their loss, they also remember Mondy and Levo as devoted family men. “My dad was my best friend,” Karri Levo said. “He was the most amazing person. He helped me through every struggle I’ve had in my life. Even freaking about hair for photo day. But more than anything, he talked about how much he loved my mom. And he showed me what love is.” They were amazing men who touched a lot of lives, Stephanie Mondy said. They were especially wonderful parents and grandparents, Chris Levo’s daughter Krystie Warman said. “He was the world’s best papaw,” she said of her dad. “I have two children. He just made them his world.”

Lexi. From there it was summer dance camp at Cincinnati’s School for the Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA) which led to him attending school there, moving to Loveland, training, performing and competing with Planet Dance Studios founded by Andrew and Missy Hubbard. “He’s such a special guy,” said Andrew Hubbard. “We’re really proud to see this amazing opportunity for him. I think it will be transformative; such a great opportunity for him.” Andrew and Missy Hubbard danced professionally with “Cats” on Broadway before opening Planet Dance Studios in Cincinnati. For four years they saw Blake’s passion for dancing, singing and acting evolve on stage. “He deserves the nickname Broadway Blake,” Hubbard said. “He is as strong a vocalist as he is a dancer. I imagine him as a musical theater performer or an actor.” Blake revealed maturity beyond his years as a responsible and committed performer with the group. He was an inspiration even to the teachers. More than his performance stood out for Missy Hubbard. “First and foremost is his kindness, his sweetness and his humble nature that makes him a great guy, but will also make him a very successful professional,” she said. “I can’t say enough good about him. He’s really destined for great things.” Right now Broadway Blake is destined for Joffrey at 14. His mom recalls a chance meeting with a Joffrey student a couple years ago. It was the first Dawn Funk ever heard of Joffrey. She made a note then that Blake could audition to attend their summer dance camp when he turned 14. They commissioned a mural of Broadway-NYC for Blake’s bedroom wall so he could fall asleep and wake up to the vision of his dream future. That audition was held at the University of Cincinnati in January. Not only did

Blake earn admission to the camp for July, but he received the invitation to begin training there. They didn’t even know the training program existed until the call came. There was an April audition in New York for scholarship money. “I didn’t know what to think,” said Blake. “It was exciting. It was a shock to us.” Dawn Funk already had to let go of him at 10 when he started at SCPA while the family was still living in Dayton. Now he’s moving into an apartment, a 15-minute walk to Joffrey. He’ll have a roommate, but will have to cook, clean, do laundry and be self-sufficient – in New York City, at 14. “What I’m a little nervous about is,” Dawn funk pauses before continuing, “he’s 14, in New York. I wish it was all in the same building.” “She’s just gotta get over it,” Blake responded. Blake admits it will be scary leaving mom and dad and all they do for him. He’s never done any laundry. He and his mom laughingly admitted dad does the laundry. "I’m nervous about being by myself, scared of being homesick,” he said. “I think I’ll be fine. I want to go on to Broadway. I’m in. Definitely.”

Why Haven’t Senior Homeowners Been Told These Facts?

Keep reading if you own a home in the U.S. and were born before 1955. It’s a well-known fact that for many senior citizens in the U.S. their home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 50% of their total net worth. Yet, according to new statistics from the mortgage industry, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 6.1 trillion dollars of unused home equity.1 With people now living longer than ever before and home prices back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth” may prove to be short sighted. All things considered, it’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage or “HECM” loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement. However, today, there are still millions of eligible homeowners who could benefit from this FHA-insured loan but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret.” Some homeowners think HECM loans sound “too good to be true.” After all, you get the cash you need out of your home but you have no more monthly mortgage payments.

NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?2 EXTRA CASH? It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage payments are required with a government-insured HECM loan;2 however the homeowners are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees. Another fact many are not aware of is that HECM reverse mortgages first took hold when President Reagan signed the FHA Reverse Mortgage Bill into law 29 years ago in order to help senior citizens remain in their homes. Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement. Although today’s HECM loans have been improved to provide even greater financial protection for homeowners, there are still many misconceptions. For example, a lot of people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a HECM loan, which is not the case. In fact, one key advantage of a HECM is that the proceeds will first be used to pay off any existing liens on the property, which frees up cash flow, a

FACT: In 1988, President Reagan signed an FHA bill that put HECM loans into law. huge blessing for seniors living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many senior homeowners who might be better off with HECM loan don’t even bother to get more information because of rumors they’ve heard. That’s a shame because HECM loans are helping many senior homeowners live a better life. In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one HECM lender, found that over 90% of their clients are satisfied with their loans. While these special loans are not for everyone, they can be a real lifesaver for senior homeowners. The cash from a HECM loan can be used for any purpose. Many people use the money to save on interest charges by paying off credit cards or other highinterest loans. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills or helping other family members. Some people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a “safety net” for financial emergencies. If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more so that you can make an informed decision. Homeowners who are interested in learning more can request a free 2018 HECM loan Information Kit and free Educational DVD by calling American Advisors Group tollfree at 1-855-288-2556. At no cost or obligation, the professionals at AAG can help you find out if you qualify and also answer common questions such as: 1. What’s the government’s role? 2. How much money might I get? 3. Who owns the home after I take out a HECM loan? You may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover when you call AAG for more information today.

With a HECM loan, no monthly mortgage payment is required. A HECM increases the principal mortgage loan amount and decreases home equity (it is a negative amortization loan). AAG works with other lenders and financial institutions that offer HECMs. To process your request for a loan, AAG may forward your contact information to such lenders for your consideration of HECM programs that they offer. When the loan is due and payable, some or all of the equity in the property no longer belongs to borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan with interest from other proceeds. AAG charges an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium, closing costs and servicing fees (added to the balance of the loan). The balance of the loan grows over time and AAG charges interest on the balance. Interest is not tax-deductible until the loan is partially or fully repaid. Borrowers are responsible for paying property taxes and homeowner’s insurance (which may be substantial). We do not establish an escrow account for disbursements of these payments. A set-aside account can be set up to pay taxes and insurance and may be required in some cases. Borrowers must occupy home as their primary residence and pay for ongoing maintenance; otherwise the loan becomes due and payable. The loan also becomes due and payable when the last borrower, or eligible non-borrowing surviving spouse, dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, defaults on taxes or insurance payments, or does not otherwise comply with the loan terms.

A court injunction temporarily froze a proposed water rate hike that was set to start Sept.1 for Cincinnati Water Works customers in Hamilton County's townships. Judge Robert Ruehlman issued a temporary restraining order and advised the county and the city to negotiate a new contract. He set set another hearing for Sept. 12, when he'll consider a preliminary or permanent injunction. Cincinnati City Council passed an ordinance in June that would raise water rates by 18 percent for townships in Hamilton County. Township residents already pay a 1.25 percent multiplier for city water, meaning water bills are a 25 percent higher than people living inside the city limits. The increase would boost the annual bill for a typical household of four to $573; the bill currently is $486. The En-

quirer made the calculation based on a Water Works fact sheet that includes typical water usage. Greater Cincinnati Water Works customers in Hamilton County as well those in parts of Butler, Clermont and Warren counties pay a surcharge called a multiplier to cover costs to deliver water outside the city. The city offered to lock in a 1.25 percent multiplier for 30 years for all Greater Cincinnati Water Works customers outside the city back in 2004. Some municipalities took that offer. but Hamilton County officials, who represent the townships on water matters, did not. The contract with townships is now expiring and the lower rate was not offered to the townships when negotiations started last year. On Aug. 31, the contract between the city and county, which keeps water rates where they've been since 1987, expires. It's been extended twice, most recently in June. The new rate multipliers were set to go into effect but the new rate is now on hold.

Indian Hill aims for '3 A's':

Academics, art and athletics Chuck Gibson

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Praise for academic excellence has placed Indian Hill schools front and center on the local and national education scene. Newsweek has them No. 1 in Ohio. They’re sixth in the nation – up from ninth one year ago – according to the online research publication Niche. The Washington Post ranks them third “Most Challenging High School” and a Gold Medal ranking comes from U.S. News and World Report. For Indian Hill Schools Superintendent Dr. Mark Miles it is not about receiving any ranking. Providing excellent academic, arts and athletic education opportunities for students and their families reaches much deeper than a ranking. “We always want to be the best,” said Miles. “I’m not interested in chasing a ranking. I’m interested in providing the very best educational services every single day for our children. Let all of the rankings fall where they may.” Miles is pleased to see Indian Hill Schools recognized, but also understands that each organization has its own criteria for ranking. What matters most to him are the accomplishments every day by the array of amazing talent in their district. He cites the abilities and commitment of the staﬀ, students, their families and the community at large as the critical component of past, present and future success. “Our students come to school ready to

learn each and every day,” Miles said. “There is mutual respect between students and staff members. I think we are guided by our vision of enduring excellence in learning, leadership, innovation and service.” That vision, set by Miles, is more than a slogan printed on school materials or stationery. It has provided a focused structure and framework for making decisions for several years. Seeking to raise the standard of education, they are implementing a new plan they call the GOLD standard. It has four strategic areas of focus: Global Competence, Operational Efficiency & Effectiveness, Learning-Centered Culture, and Dynamic Stakeholder Engagement. “We want to make sure when our students leave our school district they are prepared for life beyond what we commonly refer to as the Indian Hill bubble,” Miles explained. “We want them to have experiences and knowledge of life beyond the borders of Ohio.” Their strategy includes making optimal use of resources including people, finances, infrastructure, grounds, facilities, equipment and technology to create and enhance quality learning pathways to build individual character and academic talent. While ranked highly by outside organizations, Dr. Miles has his own measure of evaluation for the progress of Indian Hill Schools. Daily and long-term he looks at their success in the “three A’s,” academics, arts and athletics. Beyond that, he measures their progress in conjunction with the “GOLD” standard they

have set for themselves. He tracks it personally every day by observing and being present. “During the day I try to be a visible presence in our classrooms,” he said. “Beyond the school day, I try to be a visible presence with arts programs, especially performing arts, vocal music, and the visual arts. And then to be present at athletic events and see them compete in whatever event.” Miles is always recruiting, always looking for the best and brightest individuals with a healthy understanding of teaching and learning to grow kids academically in an engaging and enjoyable way. His own childhood growing up in a small rural community with family and teachers providing constant encouragement, care and compassion inspired his passion to give back as an educational leader. He is committed to providing that same environment for Indian Hill stu-

dents and staff. “He is an incredible leader who sets the vision and supports everyone,” said Heather Higdon, director of communications, Indian Hill Exempted Village School District. Miles provides that support by investing personal time, removing barriers, providing resources and staying out of the way. When he sees an educator who loves content, loves the children, and goes beyond the classroom with care and compassion for their student it always brings a smile to his face. “Teachers made a difference in my life, I want to do that at Indian Hill,” Miles said. “Our story will be told in the lives of students who graduate from, and leave Indian Hill. Our story will continue on with each individual’s story as they make a positive difference in the world.” See the IH Promise at: www.indianhillschools.org

Homemade granola gets pumpkin spice makeover Roasted tomato sauce

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Earlier today, I went out to pick flowers for bouquets and could hardly get near the flower rows in the vegetable garden. As I approached, the pollinators were “performing,” flitting here and buzzing there. Bees, butterflies, hummingbird moths and other winged insects were feasting on cosmos, cypress vine, amaranth, zinnias, sunflowers and marigolds. I stood a full 5 minutes simply enjoying the wonders of nature. I knew the pollinators’ hard work would bring a bonus to my table in the form of healthful amber honey from the hives. That honey will work real well in this recipe for granola, don’t you think? Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator and author. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com. Email her at rita@com munitypress.com with “Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line.

My neighbor Erin (phillipsfarmbatavia.com) went overboard growing tomatoes. I went overboard with peppers, so we swapped. We were chatting about ways to roast tomatoes and Erin said “I roast them with skins on and puree them for sauce.” I love that idea. I think you will, too. Ingredients Tomatoes cut in half and placed cut side up in single layers on sprayed baking sheets. Olive oil Instructions Preheat oven to 400. Drizzle tomatoes with olive oil Good add ins:

Homemade pumpkin spiced granola is customizable to the cook’s taste. RITA

Salt and pepper if you want plain sauce

HEIKENFELD FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Finely chopped herbs if you want herbed tomato sauce (garlic, basil, thyme, parsley, rosemary are all good)

Pumpkin spiced granola Maybe you’d like to customize the ingredients to your taste. That’s doable. And except for the oats, amounts are approximate. Also, if you don’t add fruit, you may need less coating. A good snack, cereal or topping for yogurt. 4 cups old-fashioned oatmeal 1 to 2 cups chopped nuts of your choice 1 to 1-1/2 cups dried fruit (optional) Palmful flax, pumpkin, sunflower or chia seeds (optional)

2-3 teaspoons pumpkin pie or apple pie spice or 1 tablespoon cinnamon 1/2 cup honey

and bake 30 minutes or until golden, stirring about halfway through. Let cool completely. Store in covered containers at room temperature. Keeps about 3 weeks.

1 tablespoon vanilla

Tip

Instructions

I like old-fashioned oats since they hold up better. If all you have is quick cooking, go ahead and use those.

1/2 cup oil (I like grape seed)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment. Mix dry ingredients together. Whisk oil, honey and vanilla in a pan just until warm. Don’t let it start to simmer. Pour over oat mixture and mix. Pour onto baking sheets in single layers

Good for you Honey is predigested by bees, so it gives a quick energy boost. If honey crystalizes, just warm in microwave until fluid.

Roast 20-35 minutes, depending upon size and variety. Let cool, then puree as chunky or ﬁne as you like. Store in freezer up to a year. Tips No fresh herbs? Use a light sprinkle of dried Italian seasoning. Want to roast them skin side up? That's OK, too, especially if you want to remove skins, which come off easily after tomatoes cool. You can just smoosh them with a potato masher or puree them for sauce.

Viewpoints I recommend you take a close look at Issue 1 this November Dennis Deters Guest Columnist Community Press USA TODAY NETWORK

As a Judge on the First District Court of Appeals, I get a bird’s eye view of our local justice system. We see trends - increases or decreases in the types of cases filed over time. Since my time on the court, we have seen a spike in parental termination cases where the question is: does a parent lose the legal right to their child forever? Most of these cases are brought because of the haunting theme of drug abuse, mainly opiate addiction and the havoc it wreaks on families through abuse and neglect of children. We’ve also seen a steady stream of both violent and non-violent crime related to drug addiction. Put simply, our justice system is seeing a massive influx of cases, both criminal and civil where the common thread is the opiate epidemic. As a sitting Judge on the highest court in Hamilton County, and someone that led the fight on the County’s Heroin Coalition, I am constantly asking how can we adapt as a justice system in the face of this epidemic? A proposal that purports to help is on the ballot in November - Issue 1. Issue 1 is an Ohio con-

stitutional amendment that would make all drug possession offenses that are currently felonies, misdemeanors. The Code of Judicial Conduct forbids me from being political, so I am not taking a position on this issue or recommending how you vote. But the Code does permit me to speak on causes related to the administration of justice. I am urging you to take a close look at the effect that this Amendment would have here in Hamilton County. Issue 1 may appear well intentioned. It recognizes that we cannot incarcerate our way out of the current opiate epidemic. The theory behind it is that funds not used to incarcerate on felony offenses would be redirected to local jurisdictions for treatment. Unfortunately, for three reasons this theory could have very dangerous consequences when applied to Hamilton County. First, we do not have any space in the Justice Center. At any given time, it is at, or exceeds capacity. At most, under Issue 1, a person can be sentenced to a maximum of six months in our Justice Center. With no space, this Issue will de facto legalize drug possession - all drugs - Heroin, Fentanyl, LSD, Cocaine, and many others. Judges will have no “hook” to incentivize treatment or to keep people from committing more crimes. And many more criminal defendants will be on

the street committing more crime in the name of their addiction. Second, it will eﬀectively eliminate most of our local drug courts. Our local drug courts have shown success because we incentivize treatment with the promise of avoiding a criminal felony record. If the worst result of a possession oﬀense is a misdemeanor with no incarceration, drug courts will lose their effectiveness. Last, more funding for treatment does not necessarily mean better treatment. Though we’ve seen success with some innovative treatment projects like the Quick Response Teams that I helped develop here in Hamilton County, it is not clear that the funds “saved” by not paying for incarceration would be directed to programs that show success. Nothing in Issue 1 guarantees funding to programs that put in the long, hard work necessary to help bring someone back from addiction. If you are like me and you care about ending the scourge of the opiate epidemic, the safety of our neighborhoods, and the future that we are handing our children, please examine Issue 1 closely. It could limit the ways in which your local justice system is able to deal with our drug problem and control the crime that comes with it. Dennis Deters, Judge on the First District Court of Appeals,

Loveland coach Plitt nets

400th volleyball win Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

LOVELAND - If the end of a Loveland High School volleyball game sounds like a hayride hoedown, that's a good sign. Following a tradition that started back when she coached at Reading, coach Julie Plitt, her assistants and the spiking, diving, digging Lady Tigers do a decently choreographed "Cotton-Eyed Joe" after each victory. This recent Plitt promenade had special signiﬁcance as it was her 400th career coaching victory. Simple math tells you 400 wins in just the beginning of her 21st year of coaching is average of close to 20 wins per season. "We did the 'Cotton-Eyed Joe' before a district game when I was at Reading," Plitt said of the origin of the victory dance. "With Diana Schmidt coaching with me again, she's the choir director at Reading. She's got the dance down with the girls." At Plitt's insistence, "Cotton-Eyed Joe" is banned between set breaks at games. At Loveland, there's no "Joe" until there's a "W". Either way, the girls certainly get their steps in. After taking down Lakota East of the Greater Miami Conference 24-26, 25-23, 25-15, 25-13, Plitt was at 400-96 for her career, which has included 10 seasons at Reading, seven at Wyoming and four at Loveland. Between the Cincinnati Hills League and the ECC, she has had 11 undefeated conference seasons, 14 sectional titles, seven district titles and seven trips to the regionals. She's been a league coach of the year a dozen times, city coach of the year 11 times and was once Division II Ohio Coach of the Year. Her ﬁrst win came at Reading, where she helped change the mindset of the

girls who were right across the street from powerhouse Mount Notre Dame. She clearly remembers her first meeting with the girls. "I showed them the schedule and right away they saw we played Mount Notre Dame," Plitt said. "I said from here going forward, I want every other team to look at their schedule and say, 'Oh God, we have to play Reading!'" She won titles with the Blue Devils and then continued winning at Wyoming. The Cowboys were dominant in the CHL and Plitt left having won five straight league championships. Numerous girls have advanced on to college volleyball from her squads. "I've had a lot of good teams, I've had a lot of great players and the players make me look good," Plitt said. Plitt shrugs off the numbers that she says husband Steve tracks down. Steve

Plitt has been her PA announcer for many of her 400 wins and this spring will lead Loveland's baseball team. Julie holds a substantial lead in Loveland career wins, which began when she came over from Wyoming with a chance to coach her daughter, Marie. A four-year starter, Marie Plitt will continue her volleyball career at Ball State, where her older brother Drew is one of the Cardinal quarterbacks. "It's great to be able to coach her and have her be part of the team," Plitt said. "She's just like every other player that I coach. I love them all and they all have such great places in my heart. This has been a fun year and we're just getting started." Plitt was beaming with pride with the game ball and the week was made even better as son Drew had thrown a touchdown pass just days before at Ball State. Oldest son Bryce who also played multiple sports at Loveland was also on hand for his mother's major accomplishment. The defending Eastern Cincinnati Conference champions are undefeated in the early going of the season. In addition to 6-foot Marie Plitt, 5-foot-11 Ashley McDonald leads the Lady Tigers in kills and middle blocker Jillian Hayes is always a threat at 6-1. Hayes and Plitt also use their length on the basketball ﬂoor along with 5-8 Katelyn Garry. Hayes (sister of former Moeller player Jaxson Hayes, now at Texas) was recently oﬀered by Florida Atlantic and Central Florida, while Garry's been offered by Akron.

Before Purcell High School was combined with Marian, the colors for the allboys school on Hackberry Street in Walnut Hills were crimson-and-gold. The Cavaliers’ baseball team could just as easily have been adorned in green-and-white, such was the level of their jealousy. The focus of their envy was West Side high school baseball – namely, Elder and Western Hills. Over the 10 years from 1943 through 1952, the Panthers had captured three Ohio High School Athletic Association Class A (big school) state championships, while the Mustangs owned two. “The evil empire of high school baseball in those days lurked geographically on the West Side of Cincinnati and specifically Western Hills and Elder High Schools,” Purcell’s Arlin “Skip” Beatty wrote in “The Miracle of Hackberry Street,” his 26-page memoir of that era of Cavaliers’ baseball. “What was clearly evident was that, if a youngster wanted to learn baseball at its best, the West Side of Cincinnati was the place to grow up, at least until the ’53-’54 group came along under the guidance of Elmer Martin. Even under Elmer, the West Side clipped our ears a few times until we learned our lessons.” Martin was a local Knothole coach who drilled the fundamentals into players such as his son, catcher Gene Martin, as well as pitchers Beatty and Dick Meder, center fielder Chuck Lima and shortstop Tom Wohlwender. They all would become key members of the Purcell team that captured the 1953 Ohio Class A state championship. All were juniors on that team, fortifying a senior class that included first baseman Don Waller, left fielder Jim Nie-

mann, and right ﬁelder Paul Schramm, but the team still needed a couple of pieces. Senior left-hander Bill Reynolds became one of them, along with senior third baseman Bill “Butch” Bonkamp. “Bomkamp, a very free spirit to say the least, was a ferocious linebacker on the ’52-’53 undefeated football team and an excellent athlete,” Bestty wrote. “He was the kind of guy others liked and gravitated to, but he had not played any baseball since Little League. Surpassing all expectations, he stepped right into our scheme of things and became a sensation at third base. After the high school baseball season, he never played again.

“Reynolds was a left-handed pitcher that had been on the high school team since his sophomore year, but never or seldom got any playing time. As a lot of left-handers seem to be, Bill was a tad zany on and off the field. He didn’t have much control of his pitches, and his fastball and curveball were weak. In the summer preceding the ’52-’53 school year, however, he began fooling around with a knuckleball, and a left-handed pitcher was born Surprisingly, he could throw it for strikes often enough to be effective.” Purcell, led by second-year coach Jack Hanlon, lost four games during the regular season before earning a trip to Columbus by knocking off Dayton Fairmont, 7-1, in the regional semifinals on May 19 at Withrow and edging Roger Bacon, 3-2, in the regional final that same day at Taft Field. Reynolds overcame six walks by limiting Fairmont to three hits with five strikeouts. Wallis paced the Cavaliers’ offense, driving in two runs with a triple and two singles, three of Purcell’s nine hits. The Spartans took a 2-0 lead in the championship game, but Lima drove in Martin and Niemann with a game-tying single to right. Schramm drove in Lima from second with a single up the middle in the sixth for the go-ahead run, and Meder made it stand up, limiting leaguerival Roger Bacon to seven hits with five strikeouts. Rain in Columbus forced Purcell to play the state semifinal and final on the same day – Saturday, May 23. Meder pitched a complete-game, onehit shutout as the Cavaliers rolled past Newark, 7-0. Meder piled up 10 strikeouts while improving to 7-2 and got help from a Purcell offense that erupted for five first-inning runs. The Cavaliers had momentum going into the state championship game against a Tiltonsville team led by pitchershortstop Bill Mazeroski, who in 1960 as the Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman became the only man in history to hit a World Series Game Seven walkoff home run. Mazeroski limited Purcell to four hits and one walk, but Bob “Rosie” Kroell, described by Beatty as a pint-sized but tough sophomore” who’d replaced injured second baseman Tom “Mouse” McDevitt at mid-season, broke up a scoreless tie in the fourth with a two-run double to right field, driving in Bonkamp and Lima. Tiltonsville pushed a run across in the seventh, but Meder relieved Reynolds for the final two outs that clinched Purcell’s championship. “Perhaps the bigger trophy was replacing the West Side of Cincinnati as baseball kingpins,” Beatty wrote. “After licking our chops for years, we were the champs.” Glory Days is a regular feature of Enquirer Media celebrating key moments, personalities and teams in Cincinnati’s rich prep sports history.

The katydid tells me, we will have frost in six weeks Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist

Howdy folks, When mowing last week, I saw a katydid and they say after you see one, there will be frost in six weeks. I don’t know if that will be or not. Mark your calendar for the Old Bethel Homecoming here at East Fork. The Kenner Express was playing at another place, so we had to change the time to Sunday, Sept. 16, at 2 p.m. I talked to John Hale and he will be there to sing and visit with folks along with his wife. The time for craft shows is getting close. The first one will be at Goshen High School in October, sponsored by the Goshen Lions Club. They have a very good show. The Russellville craft show will be on Nov. 3 and this is a great show with good quality items to buy. There will be a good bunch of crafters there are so mark your calendar. The shows have some very interesting items and the fellowship is very special. I had cataracts taken off both eyes and now I don’t need glasses to see distance. I keep reaching up to take my glasses off and they are not there. I will need glasses to read and Dr. Bell will tell me what number of glasses to get. I have worn glasses since I was seven years old. I talked to Sherry‘s Lake about the

fishing at their lake. The feller said due to the hot weather the fish are not biting too good. One fisherman did catch a nice blue cat that weighed 36 pounds. That is a nice fish. The farmers market in Bethel is doing pretty good. There have been about three garden producers, one bakery tent and one lady that sells herbs. There have been several folks who come to buy the items. When I got back from church last Sunday, Chester was laying on the chair arm where I sit. He likes to lay on my lap. I thought that was sharp for him to do that and maybe he was just lying there, but I thought he was waiting for me. My mother would order 100 baby chicks each spring. The mailman would deliver them. We would get a card that would tell us a certain day that the chicks were to be delivered so we were waiting for the them. This would be a straight run of baby chicks with about 20 roosters and the rest pullets. Mother kept the pullets for laying hens and the roosters for fryers. As the chickens got bigger, the roosters started crowing. That to me was a wonderful sound. Start your week by going to the house of worship of your choice and praising the good Lord. God bless all . . . More later . . . George Rooks is a retired park ranger, Rooks served for 28 years with the last five as manager of East Fork State Park.

Each show features a variety of local artisans and crafters. In addition, each event selects a local non-profit to donate a portion of its proceeds back to within the community of where each show is hosted. This year’s charity selected for the Cincinnati fall event is Bake Me Home, a non-profit started by two twin sisters with a mission to feed families in need. “We are so excited to be back in Loveland this fall for the Avant-Garde Art & Craft show. We’ve had such great expe-

riences here in the past year with our launch, and we look forward to another successful show in September” says event coordinator, Amanda Look. “We have so many talented artists ready to show oﬀ their own homemade products, and we can’t wait to see everyone’s reactions to their wonderful work. We also love the concept and mission behind Bake Me Home and hope to raise funds and create awareness for such a wonderful cause.” For those interested in attending, information is as follows: 10 a.m.- 5 p.m., Sept. 23, Oasis Golf Club & Conference Center, 902 Loveland-Miamiville Road, Loveland.

Easing Type 1 fears for new college students Few things are more hectic for parents and young adults than preparing for college life. The stress can increase exponentially when the new college student has Type 1 diabetes. The College Diabetes Network is there to help. The Network has 115 chapters across the United States, including two in Southwest Ohio and five others within about 125 miles of Greater Cincinnati. Chapters exist at University of Cincinnati, Miami University, Ohio State University (two), University of Kentucky, Ball State University, Indiana University, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis and Purdue University. According to national operations and communications manager Sarah Twomey-Mercurio, chapters average between seven and 10 members. Christina Roth, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a teenager, founded the group in 2009 while in college. The group became a 501c3 nonprofit in 2010 and a full-time organization in 2012. The College Diabetes Network lists three pillars of programming on its website, www.collegediabetesnetwork.org: tools, network and ecosystem. Its main goal is to connect college students who have Type 1 with each other. Ellie Thiemann and Madeline Foley co-founded the CDN chapter at the University of Cincinnati, which formed in 2016 and was officially recognized as a university organization in 2017. Earlier this year, they talked about what it’s like being a Type 1 diabetic in college. ‘It’s just a huge life change. There’s new friends, new people all the time. You’re not sure how people are going to react to it,” Thiemann, who was diagnosed 12 years ago, said. “You’re living in a different place usually, or even, just like socially, in college, people start going out more and drinking, and things like that, and it’s just a lot of new things

at once. I mean it’s a hard adjustment. It’s deﬁnitely doable, but it’s a hard adjustment.” Foley was diagnosed at age 2. “Honestly, I don’t think worrying about my diabetes was at the very top of my list of my worries to come to college. It’s just another thing. If I had been diagnosed my sophomore or junior year of high school, then I would be like, ‘Oh I just got used to dealing with this and now I have to do it on my own. But I bring my snacks to school, I bring my insulin to school, I bring my books

to school. It’s just another thing on my list,” Foley said. Their biggest fears? “I know for me, it’s going low in a class,” Thiemann said. “Ninety-ﬁve percent of my professors have been great about it, asking me questions, but then there’s one in particular I can think of who didn’t seem to grasp the reasons (my sensor) was beeping, or the reasons I had food in class was very, very important. It’s not just, ‘Oh, I want a snack during your case. Those are the kinds of situations where it’s ‘What do I

do? How do I convince this person?’” Both advise Type 1 diabetics to be upfront about their condition. “My biggest rule, and I tell people this, diabetic or not, is to introduce yourself to your professors,” Thiemann said. “That sounds silly and can feel kind of awkward, but if you take two minutes at the end of your first class of the year and say ‘Hey, it’s great to meet you and I’m excited for this class, and by the way, I’m Type 1 diabetic,’ that can make a huge difference in avoiding future awkward situations, in case something comes up for that class. Also, be your own advocate. College is your chance to define diabetes and what it means to you and how it relates to who you are, but if you’re in a situation where I need to take some insulin right now or eat some Starburst right now, just do it.” Foley told the story of a UC student who took off his insulin pump at a party, so no one else would see it. “He just took the whole thing off. I can’t tell you how to feel. I can’t tell you not to be embarrassed, and if you need to feel that way, you have every right to that emotion, but that’s really dangerous. You want to find a group of people where you can wear your pump around, who will support you and not judge you, and be careful with you.” The UC chapter, which has 25 members on its roster, meets twice a month. Thiemann said one meeting usually includes a formal program or speaker, and the other is more of a casual gettogether. The group welcomes members from schools that do not have chapters. “We want to be a group that provides support, not a support group,” Foley said.

Four college essentials to find at Goodwill Here are some must-have college essentials that can be found at your local Goodwill store. Space-saving furniture Because most college dorm rooms and apartments have limited space, it’s a great idea to shop for furniture that can fit into smaller rooms and serve multiple purposes. Think of things like stools that can also be used as a nightstand, or shelves with hooks for keys or jewelry. Goodwill has a variety of different furniture options that you can customize for your college living needs. Plus, with a little creativity and elbow grease, secondhand furniture can be turned into something entirely new. Shop for gently used tables, desks, chairs, stools, or shelves at Goodwill, then paint or reupholster with fabric to give pieces a refreshed, modern look. Kitchen equipment and utensils Goodwill has basic kitchen supplies like pots and pans, plates, silverware, and a coffee maker to fuel those latenight study sessions. Stylish artwork, frames, and décor Thrift stores like Goodwill are perfect places to find unique, stylish artwork, frames, and another decor for a dorm or apartment. From vintage paintings or posters to picture frames and mirrors, Goodwill has a variety of home goods that can be used to decorate a new living space. Professional clothing Goodwill has basics like dress pants, blazers, ties, or pencil skirts for far less than department store prices. Ohio Valley Goodwill makes it easier to shop for back to school while staying within your college budget. Items purchased from Goodwill’s stores help fund its mission to provide
