Columbia Twp. would welcome pot dispensary Jennie Key Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Columbia Township would be happy to have a medical marijuana dispensary operate in its community. Administrator C. Michael Lemon said the Columbia Township Board of Trustees passed a resolution Nov. 14 that clears the way for a medical marijuana dispensary to open in the township. The resolution does not permit cultivation or processing facilities in the township. Lemon said the state will allow 60 dispensaries and has allocated three of the licenses to Hamilton County. The township has been approached by potential dispensary operators and the closing window for applicants on Friday prompted action by the township, Lemon said. The zone identified in the resolution is the Ridge and Highland commercial area,

which is also a Joint Economic Development Zone. The dispensary would not be permitted in a residential area. Lemon said if a state-licensed dispensary locates in the township, it would bring enormous economic benefits, as well as personal health benefits for those in need. “There have been numerous studies in recent years that show how medical marijuana has significant beneficial effects for those dealing with Alzheimer’s disease, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis and other serious ailments,” he said. “This would be a win for individuals within the township who endure these medical conditions and would be a resource for people all across the county.” Lemon said township officials were approached about the project within the past month, He said the clinics projected they could do as much as $50 million in business by the third to fifth year of operation.

“This will serve as a win-win for everyone involved. It’s a win for those that are experiencing certain medical conditions, as well as provide comfort to their families by providing the knowledge that they are in less pain,” Lemon said. “It will also be a win for the township as a whole, as we will experience positive economic impacts from the introduction of this business opportunity into Columbia Township.” He said the township must make sure any dispensary is located in the appropriate place. The Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program stipulates that a retail dispensary is prohibited from being located within 500 feet of a school, church, public library, public playground, public park or community addiction services provider. “Now, we hope the groups we are working with can win one of the 60 licenses from the state,” Lemon said. “We hope to hear the final results in the next 90180 days.”

FC Cincinnati stadium vote looming Approval could enhance club’s bid for MLS spot Sharon Coolidge, Cameron Knight and Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Thanksgiving won’t provide a break for Futbol Club Cincinnati this year, as backers of the team’s MLS bid race to put the final pieces of a deal together. Oakley has emerged as the preferred spot for a soccer-specific stadium,

and its fate hinges on what Cincinnati City Council decides Monday, Nov. 27. It will likely be close. Time is of the essence. FC Cincinnati needs a stadium plan in place by the first week of December if it hopes to be one of Major League Soccer’s next expansion franchises. MLS will decide the new teams Dec. 14. FC Cincinnati ownership has asked for $75 million from Hamilton County and Cincinnati to pay for roads, utilities and parking for the stadium in Oakley. The three county commissioners last week offered $15 million in

parking revenues to build a 1,000-space garage. Now all eyes are on whether City Council will approve Mayor John Cranley’s plan to use part of the hotel tax, proceeds from the Blue Ash Airport sale and tax district money — a package worth about $37 million. It will take five votes. So far, FC Cincinnati has three votes of support — Amy Murray, Kevin Flynn and Chris Smitherman. Councilmen Chris Seelbach and P.G. Sittenfeld oppose Cranley’s plan. Sittenfeld, in an open letter, praised the goal of

Live at home. Plan ahead. Thrive every day.

landing an MLS team, but criticized how it was done. “The timing, lack of due diligence, specific financing arrangement and location are, at minimum, questionable and, at worst, wrong,” Sittenfeld wrote. Can FC Cincinnati get two more votes? David Mann and Charlie Winburn are undecided. Yvette Simpson had no comment when asked by The Enquirer and Wendell Young could not be reached. Even with City Council’s support, the stadium isn’t a done deal. Cranley’s proposal, combined with the county’s offer, totals $52 million, lower than the $70 million to $75 million sought by FC Cincinnati. Whether FC Cincinnati will accept that remains to be seen. FC Cincinnati General Manager Jeff Berding has said moving the club to Newport is still an option. The team could build the stadium on the vacant Ovation site along Newport’s riverfront. There’s already a tax-increment financing district there, and the state is finishing a four-lane highway to the site. It may be tougher to get more government investment in Ohio.

FC Cincinnati needs a stadium plan in place by the first week of December if it hopes to be one of MLS’ next expansion franchises. PROVIDED

The county commissioners don’t seem open to increasing the county’s contribution. The $15 million parking garage is the limit, said board President Todd Portune. By allowing the city to use its portion of the hotel tax revenues, the county is going beyond what is necessary, he said. “We don’t have any money,” Portune said. “We’ve made the case all year long that we have a variety of priorities, mandates and needs, and we have a very limited source of revenue.”

The county will no longer push Paul Brown Stadium as an option. In an hourlong conference call Nov. 20, MLS officials told Portune they wouldn’t budge on requiring a soccer-specific stadium. If the city passes Cranley’s plan, county commissioners will approve their $15 million investment Wednesday, Nov. 29, Portune said. But whether that’s enough for a stadium and Major League Soccer remains to be seen. Stay up to date with coverage of the FC Cincinnati stadium issue at Cincinnati.com

“Unless there’s a problem with the Scantron (the machine used to scan ballots), it’s not like votes are going to appear,” she said. Bates is the longest-sitting school board member, first joining in 2002. She thinks the race was so close this year because some people didn’t like how she voted on major issues such as the lottery for magnet schools. “People say they want politicians to act in the best interest of all people, right? But when you do,” she said, “it doesn’t always sit well with those who have influence. “Politicians take a beating for casting their votes in certain ways. But I guess the takeaway is, be honest and true to yourself. And you know, there’s such a thing as karma, I believe.”

Candy store offers ‘Trump Hair,’ giant gummy bears Forrest Sellers Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Owner Bridgett Karlson stands amidst the broad selection of items at her new store, The Groovy Candy Company. The store is located at 6846 Wooster Pike in Mariemont.

An annual holiday presentation, performed in front of a live audience!

Candy Co. recently opened at 6846 Wooster Pike. For owner Bridgett Karlson opening a candy store was a dream come true. Karlson, who was formerly a flight attendant and in recent years a freelance artist, saw an opportunity once her four children had gotten older to open her own business, especially when a retail space became available in the business district. “I’m just 40 steps away from my kids,” she joked, referring to the proximity of the store to Mariemont Elementary School. However, in coming up with a concept, Karlson also tapped into her fondness for candy. “I have always had a sweet tooth,” she said. She and her husband, Dave, who helped come up with the name for the business, both felt a candy store would be a great fit in the area. Karlson said the store taps into nostalgia but also offers something new. “We didn’t want to be old-fashioned,” she said. “We wanted to be modern and trendy,” she said. She and her husband drew on some of the concepts of a big city candy store for inspiration. Groovy Gumball sells everything from traditional gumballs to gour-

met chocolates from Europe. It also sells something unique to the area – gourmet cotton candy with flavors ranging from the butterscotch-flavored Trump Hair to Merlot and pumpkin pie. Belgian chocolate fudge is also a favorite item, Karlson said. Karlson also has a selection of candy for children who can’t eat gluten products. She said she simply didn’t want them to feel left out. Karlson has also gone a step further. Not only does she provide candy, but she promotes dental health. “Our tagline is we are a candy store with a conscience,” she said.

Most recently, Martin served as an assistant professor in Educational Leadership and associate provost for Diversity and Inclusion at the University of Cincinnati, serving as a senior resource and catalyst in executing innovative initiatives for the Office of the Provost and the College of Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services. In this new role for the Foundation, Martin will design the strategy and innovative ways GCF’s leadership and influence can reach underserved populations, create deeper impact and invite new voices into the Foundation. She will work with the grant-making team to develop and implement investment opportunities

to advance GCF’s mission of investing in a more vibrant and prosperous Greater Cincinnati where everyone can thrive. “Dr. Martin’s unique blend of practical, handson experience, scholarship, and contemplative approach to decisionmaking is a competitive advantage for GCF and the Cincinnati community,” said Dora Anim, chief operating officer. “She has a proven track record in developing strategic community partnerships with local organizations and minority business owners.” Martin received the 2016 Urban League of Greater Southwest Ohio Journey Award for her commitment and service in Cincinnati.

birthdays receive a toothbrush with their purchase. Used toothbrushes can also be dropped off at Groovy Gumball for recycling. Karlson said she wants children to enjoy the experience of eating candy, but she feels it’s also important for them to brush regularly. However, it’s not just the product which is important to Karlson but also the experience.

“We have this variety (of candy) that appeals to different generations,” she said. “There is always a loved one attached to a candy memory,” she said. Looking to give retro candy to different generations on your holiday list? Abba-Zaba taffy bars, BB Bats and Gilliam Sticks introduced in the 1920s can be found at Groovy Gumball. So can Astro Pops, a candy created at the height of the space race in 1963. Two former rocket scientists mod-

eled the lollipop after a three-stage rocket. Candies from the 1960s and 1970s include Razzles, Fruit Stripe Gum and Whistle Pops. Other throwback candies: Candy Buttons, Bottle Caps, Bullseyes, Australian Black Licorice and Rock Candy. A grandparent may come into the store with their grandchild and not long after start recalling their own experience of going into a candy store as a child, Karlson said. “They come in for candy, and they leave with an experience or

memory of someone they love,” she said. “I’m tickled by that.” Most significantly, though, Karlson simply wants people to have a positive experience when visiting. “It’s a happy place,” she said. Groovy Gumball will have extended hours during December: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays.

Holiday recipe ideas: homemade crackers, Italian cream cake I like giving soups in a jar for Christmas gifts. I just layer all the dried ingredients in a jar with an instructional tag. But I always wanted to include a nice basket of homemade crackers in with the gift. I found the perfect cracker recipe, which I’m sharing today. It’s from Ree Drummond, the celebrity “pioneer woman” whom I met at Joseph Beth a few weeks ago during her tour for her latest cookbook, titled “Come and Get It.” Ree is as friendly in person as she is on her show. Her newest book is another winner. As Ree says: “The book has simple, scrumpRita tious recipes for crazy busy lives.” I’ll be Heikenfeld cooking through that book as time allows, and will share my faves with you. RITA’S KITCHEN I know you’re going to like the Italian cream cake recipe, too. It’s one of the most famous Italian cakes and is usually made in 2 layers. Too fussy for me, but one made in a 9x13 pan, that I can live with. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator, Jungle Jim’s Eastgate culinary professional and author. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com. Email her at rita@com munitypress.com with “Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line. CORRECTION: Stir down roll recipe (recently published): The 2 tablespoons of sugar mentioned in the ingredients should be added with the salt, egg, shortening and 1 cup of the flour.

Easy herbed crackers/saltines My family just loved these. I adapted the recipe only slightly. Recipe can be doubled. Ingredients 1 stick butter 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt 1 sleeve saltines

Instructions Preheat oven to 275. Crackers can be made easily at Melt butter with seasonings. home. PROVIDED/RITA HEIKENFELD Dunk saltines one at a time in the butter mixture. I used tongs. Place on a rack over a baking sheet. Bake about 20 minutes. This made about 30 crackers. Store, covered, at room temperature up to a week.

One layer Italian cream cake Reader Tusk S. needed an Italian cream cake that’s baked in a 9x13 pan. This is a wonderful, yes decadent, yes moist, yes bet you can’t eat just a small slice, cake for the holidays. Let the little ones help as is age appropriate. Granddaughter Ellery, 3 years old, loved “chopping” the nuts in a baggie with my heirloom mortar. The bottom of a saucepan or rolling pin would work just as well. For step by step photos, check out my abouteating.com site. Ingredients CAKE: 1/2 cup Crisco shortening 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups granulated sugar 5 large eggs 1 tablespoon vanilla 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup buttermilk 1 cup unsweetened or sweetened coconut CREAM CHEESE ICING: 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 1/2 cup butter, room temperature 3-1/2 cups powdered sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla 1 heaping cup chopped pecans, toasted if you like

This simplified take on Italian cream cake calls for the dessert to be baked in one layer. PROVIDED/RITA HEIKENFELD

Instructions cake Preheat oven to 350. Spray 9x13 pan. On medium speed in mixer, cream together shortening, butter, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs all at once and beat well until smooth, scraping sides as needed, about two minutes. Stir in vanilla. Mixture may look curdled. That’s OK. In separate bowl, stir together flour and baking soda. Add flour mixture and buttermilk to the egg mixture and mix until well blended and smooth, a couple more minutes. Blend in coconut. Pour into prepared pan. Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Mine was done in 40 minutes. Instructions icing Beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until well mixed. Blend in pecans. After cake has cooled, frost. Store covered, in the refrigerator for up to a week. Serves 12-16.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen Cake humped up in middle after baking? Just take a towel and lay it on top after it comes out of the oven and while it’s still warm. Gently press all over the towel with your hands and that will force a bit of air out, causing the top to flatten and even out. Be careful as the cake is hot. Don’t like coconut? Leave it out and cake will still be yummy, but won’t be a true Italian cream cake. Readers want to know: Do extracts need refrigerating after opening? No. Store in pantry away from heat and light. And guess what, extracts get better with age, just like we do!

Tax reform can raise wages Our tax code is too complicated, too burdensome, and out of date – and it is no wonder. America’s last major tax overhaul was in 1986. Back then, Ronald Reagan was president, a gallon of gas cost 86 cents, and Pete Rose still played for the Cincinnati Reds. The simplification and lower tax rates in the 1986 reform law gave our economy a needed shot in the arm in the 80s and 90s, and after 31 years, it is time to do it again. A broken tax code has contributed to America’s weak economy for the past decade. Tax rates have gone up and loopholes have grown while other countries have gone in the opposite direction. This has put our workers and companies at a disadvantage. While our economy has seen some improvement recently, many hardworking Ohioans are still not feeling the benefits. Too many families are facing the middle-class squeeze of stagnant wages and higher cost of living. Smart, pro-growth tax reform is key to getting those wages up. The tax reform proposal I am working on helps Ohio working families.

The plan benefits the middle class in three important ways. Sen. Rob First, Portman it helps COMMUNITY PRESS the famGUEST COLUMNIST ily budget by cutting middle-class taxes. Our tax framework will double the standard deduction, essentially creating a zero tax bracket for the first $24,000 earned by families and $12,000 by individuals. Two-thirds of all Ohioans use the standard deduction, and this will result in them keeping more of their hard-earned money. Second, it will expand the child tax credit to help families with kids afford childcare. Third, it will simplify and adjust tax brackets so folks who are beyond the standard deduction and who don’t take advantage of the child tax credit get tax relief. In addition, we will protect tax incentives enjoyed by the middle class for things like home mortgage interest, charitable contributions, and retirement security.

Our plan will also lower taxes on small businesses and corporations so they can reinvest in their workers through more jobs and better wages. I have met with small-business leaders in Cincinnati and around Ohio as we developed this plan, and they agreed that a simplified tax code with lower rates would give our economy the boost it needs. The United States has the highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world. For 31 years, foreign countries have lowered their corporate taxes to attract new businesses and create jobs and, unfortunately for American workers, it has done just that. Since 1986, our competitors have lowered their corporate tax rate by an average of more than 19 percent. Other countries have moved ahead, taking U.S. businesses with them – and the result has left our workers behind. Since 1998, the number of U.S.-headquartered companies on the Forbes 500 list has declined by more than 25 percent. Some of this has been caused by inversions, where U.S. companies move their headquarters overseas for tax purposes,

and some has been caused by foreign acquisitions of U.S. businesses. Either way, when headquarters leave the U.S., jobs go with them. A recent study by Ernst & Young suggests that since 2004 we have lost 4,700 companies that would still be U.S. companies today if we had a 20 percent corporate tax rate. Loss of jobs and investments overseas is unacceptable, and it has to change. In the past, making U.S. businesses more competitive and providing middle-class tax cuts have had bipartisan support, and I hope they do again. We have the opportunity to bring jobs and industry back to America – and create more jobs and better wages. A recent study by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that as much as 70 percent of the benefit from a lower corporate tax rate will go to workers in the form of better wages and benefits. In addition to lowering our rates, we also have an opportunity to reform our international tax code to encourage bringing profits and investments back to America. There is between $2.5 trillion and $3 trillion of earnings locked out of America that could be brought back here to expand businesses, create jobs, and get the economy moving. This is a huge opportunity for us. We have a chance to enact once-in-a-generation tax reform that will re-open the American economy as the best place in the world to do business, create more jobs and better wages for our workers, and give middle-class Ohioans more money in their pockets. It’s time for Washington to listen to the American people and fix our broken tax code. Sen. Rob Portman is a Terrace Park Republican.

Humdinger week for Summit’s Schertzingers Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

HYDE PARK – Senior twins Harrison and Henry Schertzinger may likely enjoy stellar weeks in their lives, but it’s going to be tough to top what they accomplished Nov. 8-11. The Summit Country Day School standouts were among several signing to continue their athletic careers on Signing Day, Nov. 8, as they faxed their intentions to play lacrosse in Chapel Hill at the University of North Carolina. Later that night, the soccer captains and Loveland residents were in Xenia, where they came from behind to win the Division III state semifinal against Grandview Heights 3-2. Three days later, the tandem terrors were in Columbus at MAPFRE Stadium helping the Silver Knights to their sixth state soccer title and their third in a row. Henry Schertzinger had a breakaway and an assist to junior Eli Rawlings for the game-winning goal. Summit defeated Ottawa Hills 1-0 in the final game for eight seniors, including both Schertzingers. Just one day later, center back Harrison Schertzinger was named Division III player of the year for his stubborn defensive work keeping opponents out of the Summit goal box.

Schertzinger leading the defense was Grandview Heights in the semifinal. The only Cincinnati-area team to score against the Silver Knights was Sycamore in a 1-1 tie Sept. 30. “It’s a work in progress,” Harrison Schertzinger said of the wild week. “It’s something we’ve dreamed about our whole life.” The blonde bombers have literally had prep careers many dream of, with five state tournament appearances in two sports, lacrosse and soccer. Summit has won three consecutive Division III state soccer championships under Scott Sievering with the

The Cincinnati Bengals are celebrating their 50th season of providing professional football to the city, and one of the accomplishments the franchise is most proud of is qualifying for the playoffs in just its third season – the quickest of any National Football League expansion team. The McNicholas boys soccer program can boast of being even more accomplished more quickly. The Rockets, in just their second season of existence, survived a gritty overtime battle against Finneytown in the Class AA-A state semifinal to earn a berth in the state championship match, where they got late goals from Joe Sheeran and Keith Miller to overcome a 1-0 deficit and edge Copley, 2-1, on Nov. 3 at Westerville South High School. The state championship was McNicholas’ first in any sport and went far beyond what Sheeran recalled as his primary goal once he and his buddies actually had a high school team on which to play. “We were more nervous than anything,” recalled Sheeran, now a Columbus contractor. “We were like, ‘Now we’ve got a soccer team. I hope we don’t (stink).” Sheeran’s father, Ward, and the father of his friend, Harry Fermann, were instrumental in lobbying McNicholas to add soccer to its slate of sports. Joe Sheeran recalls getting resistance from some folks in the Rockets booster club, who were concerned about diluting limited resources. “The football team finished second in the state,” recalled Sheeran, who also remembers the basketball and baseball teams enjoying impressive sea-

sons. “It was almost like that class was stout.” The Rockets played some home games at Anderson High School’s Brown Stadium and others at Juilfs Park on Clough Pike between Nagel and 8 Mile roads. Led by coach Steve Teetor, who enjoyed a roster deep and talented enough to allow frequent substitutions, McNicholas took a 16-3-1 record into a district championship game, where Sheeran scored a goal with 1:15 left in the game to lift the Rockets to a 2-1 win over Dayton Oakwood at Wyoming High School. Finneytown, which won the 1976 state championship in the first season that the Ohio High School Athletic Association sanctioned boys soccer and another in 1981 before finishing second in 1983, reached the 1984 state semifinal with a 3-1 win over Jamestown Greeneview at Kettering Fairmont. Those wins set up the Halloween state semifinal at Galbreath Field near Kings Island – a fourovertime thriller at a facility that no longer exists. Regulation time ended in a scoreless tie and neither team could produce a goal during two 10-minute overtimes, setting up rounds of penalty kicks. Both teams connected on each of their five shots in the first round and on the first kicks of the second round. McNicholas senior goalkeeper John DiPuccio, who didn’t make the team in its first year of play and had to be talked into coming out the second season, came up with an acrobatic save on Finneytown’s second try. The 6-foot-1 DiPuccio almost overran the ball, but managed to regroup in time to knock it away with his left leg. That set up sophomore Tim See MCNICK, Page 2B

Hirschauer’s game-winning goal. “After John made that save, I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders,” Hirschauer told the Enquirer’s J.P. Lyons. “When I saw it clear the goalie, I was in seventh heaven. It was the best moment of my life.” “That was probably the toughest game on the run to the state,” said Sheeran, who admitted that he shanked his penalty kick. He made up for it in the state championship match, which was scoreless until the Indians scored on a header that grazed DiPuccio’s fingertips early in the second half. Sheeran, a 5-foot-5, 125-pound midfielder moved by Teetor to center striker for the state title match, scored the game-tying goal with 11:04 left in the match. He’s described as taking a pass from Tom Fermann 35 yards away from the goal, eluding two Copley defenders, faking right and shooting left. He modestly differs. “I don’t know where they got that,” he said “A buddy of mine looked at me like he was saying ‘Go,’ so I went. It wasn’t like I was dribbling that far. I probably eluded one guy, but 35 yards is Pele-style. That’s not the way it went.” Regardless, his goal tied the score, setting up Keith Miller’s game-winner from five yards out with 5:08 left in the

match. “I had my doubts going into the fourth quarter that we had a chance to win, but when I saw Joe get the ball, I knew he was going to score,” DiPuccio told the Enquirer. “I figured he was going to do a number on that goalie, and he did. When he scored, I knew we would win it. It was important that Joe was the one who scored the goal. He has a certain charisma that wears off on us.” “Joe was the one who made it happen,” Teetor said. “A lot of the other kids thought we were beaten, but Joe just doesn’t give up. I consider it an honor that I have been able to coach him this year. He’s one of a kind.” Sheeran recalls the Rockets returning to the school, where the championship was honored at an assembly. “We talked about the tournament and the championship,” he said. “Everybody was asked to speak, but I’m not one to get up in front of crowds.” Sheeran played a couple of years at Witternberg University before breaking his ankle and basically giving up soccer. He tried the indoor co-ed version a few years ago. “The last time I played, I got kicked in the back of my ankle and snapped my Achilles tendon,” he said.

Preseason hoop hype comes to Moeller Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

KENWOOD - Though accolades are always appreciated, most coaches prefer to receive them after a game or season has been played. Unfortunately, the eye candy of polls and ratings are appealing to fans not closely involved, which leads to things like the USA Today Preseason Super 25. Though they have yet to play a game, the Moeller High School Crusaders are ranked No. 17, largely based on last year’s Division I state runner-up finish. Long-time coach Carl Kremer is tickled to be mentioned but cautions the Crusaders are minus four starters from the squad that finished 28-1 (with the only loss coming to Massillon Jackson in the title game by one point). Now playing in college are Keegan McDowell (Liberty), Caleb Canter (Walsh) and Riley Voss (Cornell). Miles McBride, just a junior, will likely miss the season recovering from a foot injury suffered as Moeller’s quarterback against St. Xavier on Sept. 22. “It’s a great honor for our program,” Kremer said of the USA Today recognition. “I think it has a lot to do with a tradition that’s been established over a lot of years with a lot of really great players. Frankly, this team right now is probably over-rated. We have a lot of work to do. I don’t know a team with one re-

turning starter that gets that expectation.” Kremer surmises part of the reason for the hype is the high-profile recruiting that came for senior Jaxson Hayes, 6-foot-11 and heading to play with Shaka Smart with the Texas Longhorns. A year ago, Hayes was 6-foot-8 and averaged 1.1 points and a couple rebounds. As a sophomore, he was 6foot-4 and played two varsity minutes. By all accounts, he’s grown nearly a foot since entering Moeller and his work on the summer circuit is what led to a final four group of offers from Xavier, Butler, Kentucky and Smart’s Longhorns. Likewise, 6-foot-5 senior Jeremiah Davenport averaged 4.4 points and 2.4 rebounds last season. His offseason work led to an offer from the Wright State Raiders where former Crusader Grant Benzinger plays. “The reality is they’re both young players and have never been starters in our program,” Kremer said. “They’re really going to have to take on much different roles. All of our guys are taking on different roles.” Helping ease the loss of McBride (best case scenario would be a March

return) is Roger Bacon transfer Alec Pfriem. As a sophomore, he averaged 13.1 points for the Spartans during their 25-5 state runner-up season last winter. Pfriem is eligible to play right away. Manning the point guard spot for the Crusaders is Isaiah “Sleepy” Payton. As a junior, Payton averaged 8.3 points and 3.1 assists, shooting 45 percent from the three-point line and 81 percent from the free-throw line. Kremer also sees 6-foot-3 Alex Deyhle getting notable minutes along with forward Jack McCracken. McCracken didn’t play as a junior but could help with his 6-foot-4 length and good hands that benefited the Moeller football team at wide receiver. Another transfer who may help eventually is sophomore Max Land who played in Mason’s program last season. Land will have to sit out the first 11 games of the season. He is the son of former Roger Bacon and University of Cincinnati forward Eugene Land. Despite the potential, Kremer is hesitant to embrace a top 25 ranking at this early stage. “I like the spirit of these kids and certainly we have some physical

talent we can fall back on,” he said. “I’ll be honest with you, we’ve got a long way to go just to be a good team locally, let alone being a great team nationally.” The Crusaders have had previous national rankings and once again will be challenged by their demanding nonconference and GCL-South schedule. They’ll also have the yearly December trip to play some of the best out-of-state teams when they visit the Beach Ball Classic in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina Dec. 27-30. Among national programs the Crusaders could face there are DeMatha (Maryland), Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas), Clark (Las Vegas), Montverde Academy (Florida), Lone Peak (Utah) and last year’s champ Imhotep Charter (Philadelphia). Moeller has played in the tournament before. “We got to play Grayson Allen (Duke by way of Providence HS in Jacksonville) there,” Kremer said. “We played in the second round and it went down to the last minute. It’s truly a national tournament. We’ve gone 3-1 each time we’ve gone down. You do that at that tournament, you’re pretty good.”

olina to an NCAA championship and a perfect season. “We’re very excited,” Harrison Schertzinger said. “He (Harden) knows our coach. He’s a good guy and a real model for us.” The Schertzingers, whose father Howard is an orthopedic surgeon and Summit Country Day team doctor, plan to major in business at North Carolina. Not surprisingly, they hope to go into business together. As many twins do, they often finish one another’s sentences. In Columbus, Nov. 11 they both took care of business leaving the team doctor beaming with pride with a slight tear in his eye. From Harrison making a game-saving stop on a cross in front of Dowling, to Henry perfectly executing the game-winning assist to Rawlings, it was an afternoon of memories. Factor in Henry’s comeback from a knee injury in lacrosse (which likely prevented a deeper Summit tournament run) and it was a storybook ending. “I think this completely summed up all of the work for the past 18 years, myself personally,” Hen-

ry said. “Four months out of ACL surgery, I’m not supposed to be playing. I worked so hard for these guys. It’s something special.” Henry’s minutes had been limited as he had made just one cameo Oct. 5 against Norwood. He was permitted 20 minutes in the semifinal win in Xenia and was in and out of the title game. Fortunately, with 10:23 to go, he was in to skip a pass off of his left foot to Rawlings breaking left in a scoreless game. “I told these boys all tournament long, just get me to the state semifinals and I’m with you the rest of the way,” Henry said. “I

saw the read and was like, ‘find it, find it!’ He ran on, it worked out and it was really awesome.” All of the early morning legwork in rehab paid off with the biggest assist of his career and a sixth state soccer title for the Silver Knights of Hyde Park. “It has been a grind,” Henry said. “Sore day after sore day, it’s all worth it now. This has been the most amazing week ever. I couldn’t ask for anything better.” Summit Country Day finished as the No. 7 team in the USA Today Super 25 Regional rankings. The senior class finished their four-year-run at 75-9-6.

For Rama, a Mason resident, inspiration came on a day that she had reached a point of utter helplessness and frustration.

Suffering with migraines and their auras since childhood, she had treated her symptoms with everything from traditional medications to relaxation therapy without enduring success. As an adult, she had to discontinue her doctorate education at Ohio State University because of worsening chronic pain. Then one day she had an especially vivid aura. And that’s when she grabbed her paintbrush, a few canvases and a load of acrylic paint. “Something changed that day. The process of painting made me feel very calm, meditative

and introspective … I wanted to capture it on canvas,” she said. So instead of focusing on the pain, she painted the images she saw when she closed her eyes. “I wanted to explore more,” she said. Rama, who grew up in India, would like to bring attention to the activity inside the head during a migraine. She compared it to a slow-motion movie that one can see even with the eyes closed. Through her artwork, she has been able to cope with her pain more effectively and to “share an amazing kinship with others in conversation.”

The beauty of our hospice care is that we come to you no matter where you call home. Whether your loved one is in the family home, a retirement center, assisted living, nursing home, or even the hospital, we are there. It’s compassionate, end-of-life care when you need it — and where you need it. We even offer our own Patient Care Centers if you decide that inpatient care is right for you. So no matter where you call home, call us when you have questions or need our hospice services.

We are here. We are ready. We are Hospice of Southwest Ohio.
