New shops and food, what’s next at Anderson Towne Center? Sheila Vilvens Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Like a ribbon on a holiday package, the early December reopening of Towne Center Way in Anderson Township seemingly served as the finishing touch on a package of expansion and renovations to Anderson Towne Center. The transformation of the Towne Center began in January 2015 when Victory Investments revealed renovation and expansion plans for its property at the corner of Beechmont Avenue and Five Mile. The work fit hand-in-glove with the Kroger Company's plans to expand its grocery store there and to construct a retail development at the corner of Beechmont Avenue and Wolfangel Road. Over the last several years, the old Kmart building and TGI Fridays were razed. In their place, an AMC Dine-In nine-screen theater and parking garage opened. New tenants took up residence in the expanded Towne Center including Bar Louie, Sky Zone, Crunch Fitness, Bently's Pet Stuff, Starbucks and Verizon. The past year alone there's been plenty of activity, according to Anderson Area Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Eric Miller. In the new development at Beechmont and Wolfangle there's now a McAlister's Deli, Orange Theory, Chipotle, and Ambiance Nails, he said. In the Towne Center this year, the I Love Juice Bar, Macy's Backstage, Eden Salon and Ranchero's Mexican Restaurant opened. Anderson Township Assistant Administrator for Operations Steve Sievers sees the work at the Towne Center through a much wider lens. Over the last few years, more than 15 different projects, all within a half mile of the Anderson Towne Center, resulted in over a $165 million investment in the township, he said. The vision for the growth dates back to the township's initial 2005 comprehensive plan. The redevelopment, which also included road and sidewalk improvements, has earned multiple awards including a planning award from Hamilton County, Sievers said. Not all work is completed. Final work remains on Towne Center Way as well as Kroger's expansion and completion of the Anderson High School construction project, he said. About four spaces are available for lease in the Towne Center, according to its website. As the projects around Anderson Towne Center near their end, the focus turns to the redevelopment of Anderson Center Station. Last year the township received proposals to redevelop the area. Four proposals were submitted. Township leadership selected Hills Properties' proposal for a $40 million, 200-unit luxury apartment development as the favorite. As proposed, the development offers high-end amenities targeting young professionals and empty-nesters. The existing park-and-ride facility would be integrated into the project's proposed parking garage.

She’s back: Jean Schmidt returns to politics Jason Williams

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Reinvigorated and seemingly fiery as ever, former Congresswoman Jean Schmidt is ending her six-year stint on the political sideline. The suburban Cincinnati Republican has filed to run for the Ohio House in 2020, hoping to return to Columbus for a second go-around in her political career. Schmidt, 67, started getting the itch to return to politics about 11⁄2 years ago, when the woman once called a “tough street fighter” by The New York Times started advocating for women and men who say they’ve been wrongfully convicted of a crime. “I had to get my family to buy into it,” Schmidt told Politics Extra on Tuesday, referring to her return to politics. “Last summer, I received a call from a prominent Columbus Republican asking me to come back. That’s when my husband, Peter, said, ‘Why don’t you do it?’ I’m excited about it.”

feedback (on a variety of topics), it is important to me that our community knows this: We heard you,” Prebles said in an unsolicited op-ed sent to The Enquirer. “It is no secret that the Forest Hills School District has endured a few rocky years of late. “But we are making drastic changes to move on and put those days of drama behind us,” Prebles said. “When I took the job as superintendent in the wake of much of this, I knew

Jean Schmidt PROVIDED

Jean Schmidt was in Columbus from 2001 until 2004, representing House District 65, which spans northwestern Clermont County. Union Township Republican John Becker currently holds the seat, and he will be term-limited at the end of next year. Schmidt has long-standing relation-

starting fresh was critical to our future and pulled together a new team of highly regarded and extremely talented education professionals to help move us into a new era of success, eﬃciency and most importantly, transparency.” Forest Hills has come under ﬁre by some for a number of decisions made in a $103 million, district-wide school buildings project and new transportation center funded by a 2014 levy approved by voters. The project is nearing an end, but hard feelings and at least one related lawsuit remain.

ships with new Gov. Mike DeWine and House Speaker Larry Householder. Their support would be critical, especially if Schmidt ends up having a primary opponent. Many ﬁgured Schmidt’s political career was over after she served three full terms in Washington. Amid the cloud of an ethical issue stemming from her relationship with a Turkish-American interest group, Schmidt was unceremoniously ousted in the 2012 GOP primary by tea party-backed political newbie Brad Wenstrup. “No regrets,” Schmidt said. “Moving forward.” It took more than a year for Schmidt’s family to warm up to the idea of her making a comeback, she said. Some things that happened in Schmidt’s ﬁnal term had taken a toll on the family, including the intense backlash and media scrutiny Schmidt had faced amid the monthslong ethics investigation in 2011. The House Ethics Committee determined she had improperly accepted around $500,000 worth of free legal services from the Turkish

group. Then in early 2012, Schmidt’s conservatism and loyalty to the GOP was called into question by some members of her own party after she gave then-President Barack Obama a seemingly innocuous kiss on the cheek during his State of the Union address. There were other controversies during Schmidt’s time in Washington, including soon after she arrived in 2005. She caused a firestorm after saying on the floor that “cowards cut and run, Marines never do” in response to Pennsylvania Democrat John Murtha’s push back on the GOP’s efforts to withdrawal troops from Iraq. Murtha, who died in 2010, was a Marine veteran. Schmidt now calls the divisive rhetoric that has poisoned today’s politics “shameful” and “very sad.” “It breaks my heart for the country,” Schmidt said. Both sides are at fault, she added, believing social media has contributed to the incivility. She is not on Facebook or

est Hills’ business relationship with a man under federal indictment for, and ultimately convicted of, fraud have raised community concern. Prebles said the school district will in the near future have no choice but to pursue an operating levy, and that the lead-up to that will be a school year of belt-tightening. “In collaboration with teachers and staff, the district’s administrative team and treasurer will begin making strategic budget cuts that least affect the quality of education we provide to our students, who are our first priority,” Prebles said. “Being good stewards of our community’s tax dollars is paramount and I have no doubt this is the financially responsible step to take at this time. “We believe in operating in open and transparent ways with our community. As such, all budget cuts will be specified and communicated to you in the coming weeks,” Prebles said. “The most significant streamlining coming from central office and staff attrition; student programs and services will not be cut or eliminated at this time.” Pending now is a lawsuit filed by J&D Rack Co. of Green Township, a company that did site preparation work for renovations at Anderson High School,

against Forest Hills and the former general contractor for more than $2 million in unpaid invoices. Rack was a subcontractor to Performance Construction of North Bend, which was general contractor for the work at Anderson High School until Forest Hills fired it in November 2017 because of dissatisfaction with its work and resulting delays. Rack says in its lawsuit, filed in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court, that it was supposed to be paid by Performance Construction, but Performance can’t pay Rack because Forest Hills has not paid Performance. Rack wants the courts to enforce a lien it has filed in the Hamilton County Recorder’s office against $2.06 million of Forest Hills’ public funds. The company took the lawsuit as an opportunity to note that the school district was hurting financially and “mired in public scandals.” “Trust is easily lost and difficult to gain,” Prebles said in his statement today. “It is my sincere hope that as we continue this open dialogue about the pressing issues facing our district, we can work together to improve upon the excellent education and reputation for which Forest Hills is known.”

Corcoran replaces Uible as Clermont County commissioner Goshen Township's Claire Corcoran begins a four-year term as the newest member of the Clermont County Board of Commissioners. She was scheduled to be sworn into office during the commissioner's Jan. 14 reorganizational meeting. Corcoran replaces David Uible who served on the board for six years. Uible was unable to run for reelection after the Clermont County Board of Elections disqualified some of his the signatures on his petitions to appear as a Republican candidate on the May 2018 primary ballot. The disqualifications left Uible short of the 50 signatures needed. During its reorganizational meeting, the board of commissioners was expected to elect a president and vice president for 2019. The other two coun-

ty commissioners are Ed Humphrey and David Painter. Corcoran has had a long career in public service, beginning in Hamilton County, where she Claire Corcoran worked as a manager in both the Division of Domestic Relations for Hamilton County Common Pleas Court and for Hamilton County Job & Family Services. In Goshen Township, where she has lived since 2001, she has been a township trustee and a member of the Goshen Local School District Board of Education.

Twitter, but acknowledged she’ll likely have to have a social media presence in the upcoming campaign. Schmidt has been busy since leaving politics. She remains an avid runner, having completed more than 140 marathons. She regularly teaches political science courses at Chatﬁeld College’s campuses in Over-the-Rhine and Brown County. Schmidt spends a lot of time with her two elementary-aged grandsons. She was taking one of them to basketball practice when I called her. For nearly a decade, Schmidt has volunteered with City Gospel Mission’s Flying Pig Marathon training program. She works with women in the mission’s long-term recovery program for drug and alcohol addiction. Schmidt took an interest to helping women and men in the prison system after a friend recommended she read former Ohio Attorney General Jim Petro’s book, “False Justice: Eight Myths That Convict the Innocent.” She’s gotten to know Cincinnati attorney David Singleton of the Ohio Justice and Policy Center. Singleton and Indian Hill resident Michele Young have helped the former Miami Township trustee connect with Tyra Patterson, who was recently featured in The Enquirer for her successful re-entry after serving a long prison sentence. Patterson maintained that she was wrongfully convicted for the 1994 shooting death of a 15-year-old girl in Dayton, Ohio. She received a sentence of 43 years to life in prison, but was released in December 2017. Schmidt has helped mentor Patterson. They trained together for the Flying Pig 5K last spring. “I went to the parole board hearing in Dayton, and I said, ‘Oh, my God, this woman is innocent,’ “ Schmidt said. “This is what made me start to think about getting back into politics,” Schmidt added. “Something has to be done.” Some call her “Mean Jean.” These days, though, she seems more like “Meaningful Jean.” Listen to Enquirer political columnist Jason Williams’ weekly podcast, “That’s So Cincinnati.” Twitter: @jwilliamscincy.

Ever want to make homemade goetta? Here’s how Rita’s Kitchen

Rita’s Goetta

Rita Heikenfeld

The weather report is calling for several inches of snow. A goetta making day! Granddaughters Eva, Emerson and Ellery are coming to spend the night, so when they wake up to this winter wonderland, they’ll start the day with a hearty breakfast of goetta and eggs. (Husband Frank will have to shovel a path to the chicken pen so the girls can fetch the eggs). Goetta is a stick-to-your ribs kind of dish. But guess what? It originated in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, not in Germany. For the history, recipes from readers, and step-by-step photos of this recipe, check out my site.

Tips from Rita’s kitchen ❚ Goetta is not hard to make, but the technique can’t be rushed. ❚ Fresh pork shoulder/butt is the traditional cut of pork to use. ❚ Pinhead oats are sometimes called steel cut oats and require a very long cooking time. Do not substitute regular oats. ❚ Savory has a peppery ﬂavor.

Do you make goetta? Share your goetta recipe/stories! 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 German in-laws’ recipes don’t include beef broth, poultry seasoning or savory. Those are my additions to boost flavor. Cook meat and veggies on top of the stove and ﬁnish goetta by cooking oats and the cooked meat in the slow cooker. Ingredients 3 pounds fresh pork shoulder/butt, cut in half to ﬁt pan 3-4 cups each: chopped onions and celery (include celery leaves) 4 dried bay leaves 3 tablespoons salt and 1 tablespoon black pepper or more to taste 1 nice teaspoon poultry seasoning (opt) 2 teaspoons savory (opt) 8-10 cups water or more if needed, or half beef broth and half water 2 pounds pinhead/steel cut oats Instructions Put meat, onions, celery, bay and seasonings in large pot.

Homemade goetta and eggs. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Cover meat with liquid by about an inch or so. Bring to a boil, cover, lower to a simmer and cook until meat is so tender that it can be shredded or chopped up ﬁne, several hours. Add water if necessary to keep meat just under liquid.

oats, stirring to blend. Put lid on and cook on high 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until oats are thoroughly cooked, tender, and mixture is very thick. If necessary, add more water as oats cook, but be careful.

Strain meat and vegetables through colander. Save liquid. Shred meat. Push some of vegetables through colander. I add both to the oats.

The mixture, when cooked, should be pasty, and thick enough for a spoon to stand up in without falling over. Oats should be difficult to stir.

Add meat and veggies and continue

to cook, covered, for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add seasoning if needed. Remove bay leaves. Line bread pans with sprayed foil. Put goetta in, smoothing tops. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours or so to set up. Store in refrigerator a week or several months in freezer. To serve: We fry it with bacon until both goetta and bacon are crisp on both sides.

Goshen bus drivers approached Transportation Director Bryan Howard last year with a belief that all families should experience the joy of Christmas and they wanted to help as many families as they could fulfill that experience. Howard partnered with several community businesses and Peterman Transportation services to organize several Stuff the Bus opportunities in the community. Over the course of the last two weeks drivers have donated their time to take a Goshen School bus to locations in the

community where individuals could drop oﬀ items such as: canned foods, non-perishable foods, new toys, new hats, new gloves and new coats. The items were then delivered to the school counselors at Goshen Local schools, who in turn distributed to families in need. Guidance Counselor Kim Lewis said, “We are fortunate to be a part of such a truly caring and special community. People support each other 365 days a year, not only during times of need. It is heartwarming to see how big our Goshen Warrior family is. Thank you to everyone who helped support this cause and any other opportunity within our community in the past.” Brian Bailey, Goshen Local Schools

Viewpoints Tips to help seniors stay active in any weather If you're wondering how to help seniors stay active in no matter the weather, you're not alone. A lack of physical and mental activity during this time can lead to some detrimental outcomes, including everything from loneliness to a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Want to hear the good news? There are many ways to support the health and happiness of aging loved ones throughout the year, starting with the following four tips. 1. Invest in seasonal attire. An old Norwegian expression goes, “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes.” While it’s wise for seniors to avoid venturing out when it’s icy or bitterly cold, general cold weather is no reason to stay inside. Warm clothing, including hats, gloves, and scarves, can keep seniors comfortable, while shoes with good traction prevent falls. Do you want an extra reason to send seniors outside on a cold sunny day? They’ll also soak in some critical vitamin D — an essential defense against brittle bones, low immunity, cognitive decline, depression, and many other health issues. 2. Schedule plenty of opportunities for socialization. Many social events stop in winter, which can lead to loneliness for seniors. To prevent this from happening, make sure your aging loved one’s social and emotional needs are met by scheduling regular social engagements with friends, family members, and neighbors. Lunch dates, book clubs, and knitting groups are just a small sampling of possible activities for older adults If severe weather makes face-to-face con-

tact impossible, video chatting can be an invaluable way to keep seniors connected. (Just be patient when introducing them to the technology, as it can be intimidating for some older people.) 3. Encourage older adults to get up and move. While a brisk winter walk benefits both body and soul, it’s not always possible in snowy weather. This doesn’t have to be a sentence for sedentariness, however. Encourage your aging loved one to take a fitness class at the local senior center or to try an at-home strength training or stretching class. Even moving more around the house while vacuuming or dusting can be enough exercise for older adults. Many older adults also find that fitness trackers add an element of fun and motivation, and the research backs this up: “Espe-

cially for older individuals, new mobile devices can facilitate easy, longitudinal monitoring and documentation of their own health status,” concludes a study published in the academic journal, Digital Health. What is the best way of all to get a reluctant senior to exercise more? Join them. A trip to an indoor retail area, museum, or garden can make for an active day. Cincinnati’s Krohn Conservatory has a beautiful botanical space indoors, but even a home improvement store with a large garden section can be a good option. 4. Give the brain a workout, too. Physical exercise is just one way to stay active. Exercising the brain is also vital. While the research is still out on “brain games,” scientists agree that there are other eﬀective ways to improve memory, focus and reasoning skills. Proven pro-brain health strategies including building new personal relationships, taking classes, studying a foreign language, exploring hobbies and volunteering. Arts and crafts, puzzles and even card games can also boost brain health. One last thing to keep in mind: While seniors often hope to age in place, the reality of doing so does not always measure up to the fantasy. As a result, many older adults end up feeling increasingly isolated and alone in their golden years. Retirement communities, like Marjorie P. Lee, oﬀer an array of amenities, wellness programs and events aimed at keeping seniors active, engaged and healthy through all the seasons of their lives. Want to learn more?

Read the contract before deciding to join a gym Sandra Guile Guest Columnist Community Press

A new year brings New Year’s resolutions, and if 2019 follows the trend of years past, the number one goal for many people in the U.S. will be to lose weight. After the indulgence of the holiday season, advertisements for gym memberships can feel especially difficult to ignore. However, if you’re thinking of signing up, consider all of your options before committing to an expensive contract. There are a few different ways to determine whether or not a gym is the best way to achieve your New Year’s goals. Go take a look Set up an appointment with a staff member and visit the facility at the time

you normally plan to workout. This will give you an idea of how crowded the gym will be and how long you’ll have to wait in line to use the equipment. Ask about the club’s hours of operation and the total number of people enrolled. Make note of how current the equipment is, how clean the facilities are, and how often they receive service. Ask the important questions While walking through the facility, ask about what personal training services are available and where those classes are held. Look for health clubs that hire trainers certiﬁed to meet national standards, as not all of them do. Heed the advice provided by oﬃcial organizations like the American Council on Exercise, the American College of Sports Medicine, the National Strength and Conditioning Association, and the National Academy of Sports Medicine.

Ask if the health club requires additional in-house training so the instructors stay up to date on their certiﬁcations. See if there are monthly options A low-priced year-long contract may sound tempting, but if you’re still not sure about fully committing to a longterm contract, ask if a month-to-month plan is available. Remember, the weather will eventually get warm enough for outdoor exercise, but the membership fee will still be due each month. Read the contract Once you’ve visited the facility and asked about all the amenities and classes available, don’t feel obligated to immediately sign a contract. Take the contract home and read it carefully before signing to determine whether or not it’s right for you. It should include all the services provided, including any group ﬁtness classes of-

fered, as well as any other beneﬁts discussed in your visit. Make sure you understand the total cost, payment schedule, enrollment fee, and length of the membership. Ask about cancellation fees and their limitations before signing up. Joining a gym is a great way to get healthier and meet new people, and the new year is a great time to start. Just make sure you’ve done your research and are comfortable making, and keeping, the commitment. Sandra Guile is the Community Outreach Specialist for BBB.

Food assistance available due to shutdown, must last until March County residents who receive re-occurring food assistance benefits should have seen their food cards loaded with February benefits on Jan. 16, due to the government shutdown. The benefits, however, must last them until their normal March load date, which could be as much as two and a half months away. Moira Weir, director of Hamilton County Job and Family Services, will meet with the Board of County Commissioners tomorrow to discuss the early issuance of food assistance, which has not been done before, to her knowledge. She said it is important the county’s 100,000 food assistance recipients realize these should be treated as a normal

February issuance and made to last until March. She said her office will do as much as possible to educate the public, including website and social media posts, press releases, media interviews, recordings on the agency phone lines, robo calls to clients, and sharing information with community partners. “We know how important this benefit is to some Hamilton County families and we are extremely happy it is available,” she said. “But there is some worry that people will see the extra benefit and be confused, perhaps using it without realizing it needs to last until the normal March date when their food cards would be loaded.”

In addition to the re-occurring cases, those consumers who are applying for a new case or are re-applying and are in pending status, must get their verification information in and authorized by Jan. 30 to receive their February benefits. Weir said the agency has not received any notice that Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (Ohio Works First), Medicaid or Child Care funding will be affected by the shutdown. She also noted that flexible Prevention, Retention and Contingency funding is available should the shutdown continue to the point people lose benefits and help with issues that arise.

Hamilton County Job and Family Services administers federal, state and local programs for those in need. The Department helps with local child protection, elderly protection, child care, child support enforcement, workforce development, cash assistance, food assistance and Medicaid disbursement. Servicing Hamilton County since 1947, the Department helps hundreds of thousands each year and is accredited by the Council on Accreditation, an international, independent, not-for-proﬁt child and family service accrediting organization.

ﬁrst team all-city in volleyball, basketball and softball during her stellar prep career. Her outstanding level of play earned her recognition as the LaRosa’s Female Athlete of the Year in 1998-99. Chrissy was an outside hitter and de-

fensive specialist in volleyball during the Bulldogs’ run of six straight state championships. She was even more dominant in basketball and softball, where she earned four varsity letters in each sport.

A two-time first team all-Ohio selection in both basketball and softball, Chrissy holds St. Ursula’s career record for most points in basketball (1,114). She was named Player of the Year in basketball by The Cincinnati Post as a junior.

She was named honorable mention All-American by USA TODAY and PNC/Scholar-Athlete of the Year in basketball. Chrissy excelled in softball as well, combining hitting (.533, 45 RBI as a junior) with speed (city leading 39 stolen bases). She finished her career with eight school single-season and career records, including 119 RBI and a career batting average of .508. Her overall athleticism was recognized by the Greater Cincinnati Women’s Sports Foundation where she was named High School Sportswoman of the Year.

Currently, Chrissy Donovan Waleskowski lives in Cincinnati with her husband, Keith, and children Donovan, Lola and Lucy.

GLORY DAYS

Georgetown runners seized 1969 state title Mark Schmetzer

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

From the first meet in 1928 through 1965, Ohio high school cross country was strictly a one-class event. Trying to level the playing field, the Ohio High School Athletic Association split the event into two classes – large schools and small – for the 1966 meet, and few teams capitalized as well as Georgetown. Starting that year, Vern Hawkins’s Gmen qualified for the state meet as a team seven straight times, including a – so to speak – run of four straight seasons from 1968 through 1971 of finishing in the top two. Georgetown’s dominance peaked in 1969 when, despite having no runner finish among the top 11 in the team race, the G-men came back from Columbus with the team championship by a comfortable 127-168 margin over runner-up Kent State High School. “We had a heck of a crowd of runners,” said Hawkins, a member of the Ohio Track and Cross Country Coaches Association Hall of Fame. “They were just hard workers.” Dan Lindsey finished 12th on the course laid out over an Ohio State University golf course to lead the way for Georgetown. Dave Warner finished 17th, followed by Denny Brooks at 22, Jeff Green at 30, Rick Brown at 45, Mike Bends at 50 and Craig Jurin at 51. Each team’s top five runners score points. Georgetown finished fifth in 1966 and 11th in 1967 before gaining steam in 1968. “The thing that’s really weird is, the year before (1968), we went up there and we were like, ‘Hey, we get to go to Columbus,’” Hawkins said. “We piled into my station wagon around 6 (a.m.).” Georgetown’s championship sparked little fanfare – just part of a one-sentence paragraph in the Nov. 5, 1969, Enquirer. “Basketball was the big thing,” Hawkins said. “Cross country was just something to do.” Despite getting a second-place finish from Nick Teauges and fourth from Gary White, Georgetown finished second by two points to Cortland Lakeview in 1968. The outcomes were similar in the two years following the state championship. Bends finished second and Lindsey eighth, but Kent State High won the team title by 30 points over the G-men in 1970, the first year the meet was split into three classes with Georgetown

competing in the smallest-school Class A. Mike Becraft finished second behind Bethel-Tate’s Gary Vipperman as Georgetown and Kent State High tied for second, nine points behind Plymouth in 1971. Bethel-Tate, engaged in a spirited Eastern Greater Cincinnati rivalry with Georgetown, finished fourth that season, led by Vipperman, 14th-place Don Williams, 19th-place Bill Pride and 20thplace Tony Hackney. Lindsey finished 11th and Larry Barry 15th for Georgetown. Becraft finished second, just ahead of Vipperman, in the 1972 meet, helping Georgetown to a sixth-place finish. Pride came in seventh and Williams 14th for Georgetown. Hawkins recalls Becraft as an eighthgrader outpacing Georgetown’s varsity runners. “One part of the training was to run up a big hill,” Hawkins recalled. “He ran down the road and they found him sitting on top of the hill waiting for them. ‘What do we do next?,’ he said. ‘Nothing,’ they said. ‘You’re going home.’ He outran them all.” “He got the best out of the people who competed for him,” Becraft said of Hawkins. “He knew what buttons to push to motivate you and how to have that talk to bring you back down to earth, too.” Hawkins recalls trying to keep workouts interesting by devising games and different ways to get the work done. “I wanted to do that instead of, ‘You’ve got to do this’ or ‘You’ve got to do that,’” he said. “I tried to make a game out of it. All those kids hung out together. They were pretty good friends. They would end up laughing and throwing grass at each other. “We had a good time, and I was always trying to make sure they didn’t do too much too soon. You don’t want to burn them out. “Back then, school never used to start until 9 (a.m.), so they would go on the golf course at 7 to get the kinks out,” he added. “They would run there all the time. There aren’t many golfers out at 6 or 7. The golf course isn’t there anymore. Now it’s a subdivision.” Glory Days is a regular feature of Enquirer Media celebrating key moments, personalities and teams in Cincinnati’s rich prep sports history.

Green Township residents Rhonda Gottmann and her children, Claire, Nathan and Grace, deliver care bags that they created for cancer patients at OHC Anderson receiving chemotherapy during the holiday week. LESIA GOLDEN/PROVIDED

Students comfort cancer patients Rhonda Gottmann is an Advanced Practice Provider at OHC (Oncology Hematology Care) who works with cancer patients every day, so it’s only natural that her children, Claire, Nathan and Grace, would be more aware than most people of cancer and how it aﬀects the lives of patients and their families. In fact, they are so knowledgeable, they decided to do something special for patients during the holidays. “I’m so proud of my kids,” said Rhonda, who lives in Green Township. “They decided to assemble care bags with items for patients getting chemotherapy, and they delivered the nags on Dec. 27 to give patients items that help during chemotherapy treatments, and to bring them a little holiday cheer.” Some patients spend 6-8 hours in one day, in one setting, getting their che-

motherapy treatments. Simple things like lip balm, lotion, or a puzzle book can make that time a little easier. Even for patients who are there for an hour, the items are helpful and the thought that someone cares can make a big diﬀerence in their day. “I am hopeful that my kids’ actions might inspire others to do a good deed or act of kindness, whether that be for a cancer patient or an animal shelter or at a hospital,” Rhonda added. “There are so many opportunities to do something wonderful for others having a hard time.” Claire and Grace attend Roger Bacon High School and Nathan attends La Salle High School. Rhonda works with Dr. Marcia Bowling, a gynecologic oncologist, and the staﬀ at OHC Anderson. Lesia Golden

OU Honor Band a noteworthy achievement for Clermont Northeastern trio “Are we cool?” “Are we just cool?” Noah Curran, Sam Wood and Gabe Beebe laugh at the question. The three Clermont Northeastern l seniors are sitting at a table in the conference room in the school’s main office complex, talking about their experience as members of the Ohio University Honor Band. The interviewer asks them to complete this sentence: “Honor band members are cool because ….?” “Cool because we work harder,” Wood decided. He and Beebe are two-time members of the OU Honor Band, which rehearsed and played a concert at the Athens campus Dec. 6-8. “We got to go off and experience something new that not a lot of people get to. It’s a fun challenge that not everybody would be good enough to handle, but within the challenge there’s also getting to have the experience, you know,” Beebe said. This was Curran’s first year as an Honor Band member. His response was similar to Beebe’s. “I get to meet so many good players who are better than me. It’s fun getting to meet people who have the same passion,” Curran said. “It was really neat to see these students take the initiative to audition to be a part of this group. It’s a great experience,” CNE band director Chris Moore said. “I was a member of the first two Ohio University Honor Bands in 1996 and 1997. I had a great time there playing with the best players from other bands around the state and it helped guide me to choose to attend Ohio University. “Both of the kids that auditioned last year returned this year as well because they had a good time. It’s a lot of hard work, you basically spend the entire weekend learning to play collegiate level music that they perform on a concert on Sunday. Hopefully we will continue to have students audition in the future.” Prospective members of the OU Honor Band send in an audition video, each performing lyrical and technical pieces for their specific instrument. Curran plays trombone, Wood plays tuba and Beebe plays saxophone (the baritone saxophone for the audition video). For each, their current instrument was not their first choice. Curran was in the sixth-grade when he started playing trombone. “I was going to play trumpet, but my mom clicked the wrong thing on the ordering web site, so I’ve been stuck on trombone and it’s gone far,” he said. Curran also plays trumpet, piano and saxophone (“a little bit”). Wood has played tuba for five years and plays sax-

and what I have noticed is the really hard work and you get really focused while you’re there, and there also just as fun to remember going and doing it after you’ve had a chance to even out a little bit after all of the hard work, the three-hour drive there and back, you come home and you have the sheet music and you look up videos of other bands playing it and you remember it and the memory stays just as fun as the experience,” Beebe said. OU’s setting added to the challenge. “It was hard because Ohio University is such a big hill, it’s on top of a big hill, and it was hard walking up and down some of those hills, but at the end of the concert my lips are just fried. It was awful for the past few days after that,” Curran said. Curran, Wood and Beebe each plan to continue their musical careers in college. Curran and Wood are both going to OU; Beebe plans to attend University of Cincinnati. Two questions with Clermont Northeastern High School’s Ohio University Honor Band members: What is your favorite musical style or song to play? Noah Curran: “Pop.” Sam Wood: “My favorite song probably on tuba is called ‘Shine.’ Gabe and I played it for another Honor Band last year for the OU one last year. It has a great beginning and then everybody comes in and it melds together nicely. I like it a lot.” Gabe Beebe: “Jazz music is really fun to play, especially on the bigger horns. I haven’t got to experience that as much as I really wish to because we don’t have a jazz band anymore at school, but my favorite song that I think we’ve ever played was one that we played that we played at the honor band this year and it was called ‘Charm’ by Kevin Puts and they didn’t give it to us the ﬁrst night. It’s in 7/8 time. It’s in a weird time signature which was the big challenge behind it because you had to learn to count diﬀerently than we’ve been growing up with through high school.” Who is your musical idol? Noah Curran: “Trombone Shorty. He’s a good jazz player down in New Orleans, and big down there. “ Sam Wood: “Music in general probably Stevie Ray Vaughan, but in terms of tuba there’s a Russian composer called (Vladislav Blazhevich) and he makes a bunch of tuba … and they’re pretty cool.” Gabe Beebe: “The saxophone that I’ve idolized the most since I’ve been on it is a guy named Gerry Mulligan, who’s played in a lot of big bands and settings in the ‘80s and ‘90s.” Richard Maloney

ophone and guitar. “Well, originally I wasn’t supposed to play tuba. I played saxophone and I marched in one parade, and then we didn’t have a sousaphone player for our band, and my cousin played sousaphone and he kind of drug me into it and that’s why I’ve played tuba for ﬁve years, six years,” he said. Beebe had planned to be a percussionist, “but my parents were like, ‘Hey, we have this saxophone so if you can play that because we have it already. And it’s jazzy. You can pick up the ladies playing jazz,’ so I was, ‘OK’ since we already had it.” He also plays alto and tenor saxophone as well as piano, and even makes some of his own instruments. “I have a clarinet in my house that I play on whenever I get bored. I’ve had an accordion for a couple of years that I play on,” Beebe said. “He’s played every instrument,” Wood said. “All of the drumline stuﬀ at basketball games and I went to Indianapolis with the drumline last month at the international convention and we played in a competition, so I play anything you need me to,” Beebe continued. The honor band experience is both exhilarating and exhausting. “Staying out until 12 o’clock with these kids in the town and then the challenge is having to wake up at 6:30 the next day and go play for four hours and your mouth hurts and then you get to go eat food and explore the campus, and you go back to getting stuck in the practice room for four hours, and then you give a concert after not even having the sheet music for 48 hours and the whole thing is, it’s kind of exhilarating,

Pillowcase dresses for Haiti Montgomery Woman’s Club (MWC) is participating in The Pillowcase Dress Project. The program has been around for years and is used by missionaries all over the world to help clothe children. It supports Haitian and African relief projects. These dresses can literally be made from pillowcases, but our seamstresses found used fabric to create clothing items to ﬁll the need. Small dresses can be made from as little as 3/4 yard of fabric or two smaller pieces using one yard. Several dresses had contrasting ruﬄe or sleeves. The clothing will be delivered by The Church of New Beginnings located in Goshen, to the La Croix Mission Center in La Croix, Haiti.
