SHEILA VILVENS/THE ENQUIRER
Lexi and her human companion Sami Smith enjoy special moments in their last Christmas together.
Old dog, new tricks: Pooch heals broken heart, gets a home Sheila Vilvens svilvens@enquirer.com
Looking at them together, it’s difficult to say who saved who. “She rescued me,” Sami Smith says of her new canine friend, Oreo. “And I think Lexi sent her to me.” Smith and Oreo unexpectedly connected at an adoption event at the Oakley Petsmart. Just on a whim, Smith dropped by to see and hold the dogs. It had been several long, sad weeks since she had the warm snuggle of a canine friend. Lexi’s death at Christmas left a gaping hole in her heart.
The 18-year-old Lexi lived a full life before succumbing to cancer. In Madeira, she was a well-known face among school children, especially those at Madeira Elementary School. A registered and trained therapy dog, Lexi spent many days providing students with cuddles and extra reading opportunities. She was also the face of Lexi’s Legacy, created last May when Lexi retired. Through this program stuffed animals are gifted to several places. As she looked at the selection of hopeful dogs at Petsmart, Smith was distracted by one that was barking. A representative from Louie’s Legacy explained
that the dog was desperate for attention. It was Oreo. Immediately, Smith’s heart went out to her. She could completely relate. Moments later, Oreo was snuggled in Smith’s arms. It was a match. “Right away, I knew she was the one,” she says. Oreo, an 8-year-old Labrador/beagle mix, was officially adopted on Valentine’s Day. Lexi was 5 when Smith adopted her. “I believe in giving older dogs a second chance,” she says.
Cincinnati Country Day School seventh-grader Kirstin Hayes is used to shooting hoops. However, Hayes, who plays on the school’s basketball team, gained a new perspective playing on the court earlier this month. She joined other classmates and staff in a game of wheelchair basketball during a program presented by Skool Aid, an organization geared toward encouraging students to appreciate differences among others. “I realize it’s a lot harder to play basketball in a wheelchair,” Hayes said. “I’m in awe of how they can do it.” Providing a different outlook is the aim of Jake Counts and Ian Smith, who are part of Skool Aid. “(It) lets kids learn about and discuss disabilities in a fun environment using sports,” said Counts, an amputee who was involved in an accident during his teens. Counts, 39, has been playing wheelchair basketball since he was 19. He has competed with a number of teams in Paralympic competition. Smith, who is a spokesman for Skool Aid, said visiting schools and having the students participate in wheelchair bas-

Hamilton County commissioners will fight pipeline plan Carrie Blackmore Smith csmith@enquirer.com
It’s official, Hamilton County will ask to intervene in Duke Energy’s plan to build a large natural gas pipeline through more than a dozen communities. The county is the fourth party to officially ask for a seat at the table when Duke makes its case, later this year before the Ohio Power Siting Board, that the county needs this pipeline.

Others who have applied to intervene are the city of Madeira, an organization called Neighbors Opposing Pipeline Extension and (also filing this week) Cincinnati’s Pleasant Ridge Community Council. An administrative law judge must still agree that these parties have the right to intervene before their seat is secured, a spokesman for the siting board said. Duke has proposed building a pipeline at least 4 feet under-
ground, 20 inches in diameter and 13-miles long. It would be buried within 1,000 feet of Amberley Village, Blue Ash, Columbia Township, Deer Park, Fairfax, Madeira, Montgomery, Norwood, Roselawn, Sharonville, Silverton and Sycamore Township (Kenwood) and Cincinnati’s Madisonville, Bond Hill and Pleasant Ridge neighborhoods. Duke officials say construction of the $86 million to $110 million project is imperative if
the energy company is to shut down what are known as propane peaking stations in the system (equipment Duke says is outdated and expensive) and continue to meet regional demands for natural gas. Communities have been skeptical of the need for the pipe and don’t think it’s safe to build in such populated areas, given pipeline explosions in other areas. The proposed

for Smith. Eventually, she hopes that Oreo will pad along in Lexi’s paw prints as a therapy dog. Oreo has started her therapy dog training, Smith says. She has the temperament to be a therapy dog. “She’s gentle and kind,” she says. Her evaluation is scheduled for May with Therapy Pets of Greater Cincinnati. Training is going well, Smith says, but there are a couple of challenges ahead of Oreo. With or without therapy dog certification, Smith says she’s happy to

As a rescue, Louie's Legacy feels strongly about senior dog adoption, according to President Emily Gear. “Senior pets are often passed over in the municipal shelter by adopters,” she says. “Adopters may be afraid of the medical costs which could eventually arise, or the idea of loving an animal only to see them live happily with them for fewer years than they would have hoped.” This is not a concern

Place where Columbus landed draws photographer to Cuba Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Two trips to Cuba were not enough for Cliff Goosmann. Two years after a 2013 trip to Cuba, he returned, touring Santiago de Cuba, Guantanamo and Baracoa, by way of the countryside, drawn by the opportunity to return to a part of the country with historic allure. Goosmann, of Montgomery, will share his photos as part of the Photography Club of Greater Cincinnati’s annual Travel Series at Sharon Woods. The program, at the Sharon Centre, 11450 Lebanon Road, begins at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 7. Throughout March and April, local photographers will share their adventures through photos that represent their travels across the globe, and include scenery, local residents and wildlife, among other representations of cultures worldwide. Here is a look at Goosmann’s show, “Cuba 2Cuba Oriente (Eastern).” Where did you trav-

el, and when? “I went with the Santa Fe Photographers Workshop (SFW) to Cuba Oriente, the eastern half of Cuba for eight days in early December 2015 just a few months shy of two years since my previous trip. We visited Santiago de Cuba, Guantanamo, Baracoa and the bucolic countryside in between. “I had been to Cuba twice before and wasn’t planning to return but then I received information about this trip which would be to what is considered the most interesting part of the island. Oriente is known for its physical beauty, cultural diversity and historical significance, and also where Columbus landed. It is less visited by travel groups so offers ideal opportunities for photographers.” Describe your trip. “We flew from Miami to Santiago, Cuba, for several days, then off to Baracoa and back to Santiago to fly home. Each morning we were up before sunrise for dawn pa-
trol to capture first light. Our group had its own bus for the duration of the trip so we were able to take numerous journeys to various sights. Side trips included a visit to fort El Morro, a trip to the ferry that took us to the island of Caya Granma for lunch and a tour. “We typically went to an exotic location for lunch and tour then back to town for walking tours. We took a boat ride up the Yumuri River and into the canyon. Another visit took us to the river Miel where we all donned bathing suits or shorts, shoes suitable for walking in a river, and began our journey.” What was the highlight of your trip? “The most exciting part of the trip had to be walking in the Miel River near Baracoa. As we walked along we were in the river with the locals and able to interact with them, see their homes and understand how the river was a part of their lives.”
Counts shared his own experiences during a middle school assembly and stressed how important it is to maintain a positive attitude. He and Smith then joined the students for several rounds on the basketball court. “My arms hurt, but I had a lot of fun,” said seventh-grader Julia Joyce, adding that she doesn’t
typically play basketball but felt this particular experience leveled out the playing field. Fifth-grader Brody Dittman also enjoyed the challenge. “I feel like it was more teamwork,” he said. For more information on Skool Aid, go online to http://www.skoolaid. com/.

COLUMBUS - Speed limits on Interstate 275 could soon change based on weather, emergencies and rush-hour traffic congestion. Under the proposed change, the Ohio Department of Transportation's director could set variable speed limits on I-275, Interstate 670 in Columbus and Interstate 90 in Cleveland. Digital signs would alert drivers to different speed limits. Ohio modeled the idea off states such
as Wisconsin that change speed limits based on poor road and traffic conditions. “In those circumstances, traffic moves more efficiently if everybody abides by a lower speed limit than trying to drive at a faster speed limit and seeing the accordion effect at the exits and on ramps,” said Rep. Rob McColley, R-Napoleon. I-275 was added to the pilot program as part of changes to the state's transportation budget, which lawmakers are expected to approve this week.

New Pill Can Relieve the Need for Adult Diapers and Padded Underwear

According to Dr. Seipel, Leaking, Squirming, Squeezing, and Night Time Bathroom Trips...Even Accidents Can Now be a Thing of the Past! NEW YORK, NEW YORK — If life isn’t hard enough, now you have to worry about making it to the bathroom in time. The feeling of your bladder bursting and the down right panic of “not making it” in time can be absolutely overwhelming. Don’t even dare to laugh, cough or sneeze at the “wrong” time and when did you start to become scared to take a big sip of tea, coffee or water? You’re not alone in your battle to control your bladder. According to The National Institute of Health, as many as 33 million Americans are affected by bladder control issues described above.

Combs resigned because she moved out of the Montgomery to Symmes Township. Fourteen people applied for the vacant seat, though four had to drop out, said Councilman Ken Suer at the Feb. 1 council meeting. “We had some very strong candidates. It was encouraging to have 14 step forward. That
was a very good response from the citizens,” he said. Council voted 6-0 to appoint Alfapih at the Feb. 1 meeting. He was sworn in during the March 1 meeting. His term expires Dec. 6. Want to know more about what is happening in Montgomery? Follow Marika Lee on Twitter: @ReporterMarika
The Family Secret Even the Family Doesn’t Know “Most people who have overactive bladders choose to keep their problem a secret,” says Dr. Tracey Seipel, a longtime clinician who is one of the world’s leading experts in natural urological healthcare. “They don’t even tell their spouse or families about it. It affects their lives in every way, influencing where they go, and even what they will wear in case they have an accident.” “Black is the color of choice,” says Dr. Seipel, “as it can hide evidence of public accidents.” A 100% natural, drug-free aid developed by Dr. Seipel is now available in a remarkable, fast-acting natural formula called UriVarx™ featuring urox. This sophisticated patented herbal compound has been shown in clinical studies to help improve UriVarx™ with reductions in bladder frequency, nocturia (having to urinate at night), urgency, and bladder discomfort, sometimes in as little as two weeks.

Dr. Seipel’s formula has made from the prestigious US Nutrition a believer out of 45-year-old, Business Journal for her work. Her patented formula consisting mother of three, Brandy W., from of select, synergistically paired Brisbane, Australia. “I had a high bladder frequency botanicals like Crateva nurvala, as a child,” says Brandy, “but my Equisetum arvense and Lindera frequency really worsened after aggregata, was 15 years in the making. the birth of my first child.” A friend who was aware of Reduce the Need Brandy’s condition told her about for Adult Diapers Dr. Seipel’s formula. “After two “Overactive bladder syndrome weeks, I had already noticed is a widespread problem,” says Dr. changes,” smiles Brandy.** Seipel.

So, says Dr. Seipel. “UriVarx™ promotes normal I wore them every day,” confesses urinary frequency, and reduces Glenda.
Since Glenda discovered Dr. Seipel’s UriVarx™ formula, you won’t find her shopping in the adult diaper section of the store anymore. “After only 10 days on UriVarx™, I reduced the need to wear my diapers. Now, I am managing very well, thank you,” says Glenda. According to Euromonitor International, a respected market research firm, the size of the adult diaper market in the U.S. was approximately $1.4 Billion in 2012.
Prostate or Bladder? Hard to Tell Many men confuse the symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome with prostate woes. Dr. Seipel explains, “Prostate enlargement restricts urine flow. The bladder compensates for this by trying harder and harder to push the urine out.” As bladder pressure increases, so does instances of urinary frequency and urgency. Long after a man’s prostate woes are relieved, he may still experience the same symptoms thanks to his now-overactive bladder.
His-and-Her Results “Because male and female bladders, other than size, are identical,” says Dr. Seipel, “the formula works equally well for both men and women”. “It’s a his-and-her formula,” she smiles. David M., age 46, can attest to this. “I was having to go to the toilet every hour or so and I had to go to the toilet at least four times per night.” Four weeks after starting UriVarx™, David says, “My trips to the toilet have definitely reduced and I’m having much better sleep, getting up maybe once a night.” If you’re ready to alleviate your go-now urination urges, to those frantic trips to the bathroom, and if you are looking for the confidence and security that a healthy bladder can bring to your life, here’s your risk-free opportunity.

SCHOOLS NOTEBOOK Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy » Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy is home to many entrepreneurial ventures. CHCA’s students’ latest endeavor thoughtfully combines engineering, programming and marketing. What began as a paper exercise to represent the culmination of a fluid mechanics unit in AP physics, CHCA seniors Mikey Taylor (of Middletown), Johnathan Sequeira (of West Chester Township) and Adam Rice (of Loveland) were tasked to “think like an engineer” and design a decorative fountain. Applying Bernoulli’s equation and the fluid flow continuity equation (think back to your physics days), they were instructed to detail the velocity, height, and range of the designed fountain stream. Among other design constraints, they needed to identify (in the building or from an external vendor) a source pump with a given volume flow rate. They exceeded all expectations and submitted their design of an animated fountain that would incorporate 97 programmable jet/valves for creating 3-D artistic fluid images. Moreover, if that wasn’t enough, these ambitious students asked if they could create a prototype, and then build it for full-scale installation on campus. Hence, the school’s first Senior Capstone Project was born on Sept. 15, 2016: Animated Fountain Capstone Engineering Project. They presented their idea to CHCA’s Head of School Randy Brunk, and were awarded a small amount of funding to get it up and running. A team effort. It wasn’t long into their work that the three students recognized they needed to expand their team. Taylor Sequeira, and Rice were in need of several other support roles to make their vision become a reality. They enlisted an electronics/programming team member,

senior Sebastian Rodriguez (of Symmes Township), a teacher mentor, Adam Cool, and a marketing/fundraising team member, senior Zachary Gunlock (of Springboro). They also solicited input from a local fountain expert, Dave Zambenedetti, owner/engineer of Pond and Lake Inc. The students presented their designs to Zambenedetti, and he was so impressed by the advanced design and depth of their knowledge, that he volunteered his time to collaborate with them to bring the full-scale project to realization, providing input and sharing his professional expertise along the way. Student led, student designed and student built. Work quickly began on creating the

prototype. On a “shoestring budget’ and within a very short time frame, these students leveraged their expertise, materials, and a great amount of concept testing to get the fountain running properly, and as designed. This decorative fountain is an “animated fountain” with “jumping” jets around the perimeter and “dancing” jets in the interior. The prototype is up and running beautifully. “Knocking it out of the park!” In the course of incorporating this system, Zambenedetti shared that these students “knocked this one out of the park!” He was so thoroughly impressed that he has been sharing his experience with counterparts across the country. He has shown their videos, stating, “…they can’t believe that HS students can (and did) do this! It’s very impressive.” Zambenedetti has been observing some of the features (lattice system, basin design) and noting that they could be useful approaches to their displays at Home and Garden shows (ease of portability/ set-up). He added, “These kids are extremely creative and innovative! No other school is doing what you guys are doing.” Moving forward… How is this possible? CHCA has been fostering a culture of innovation, inspiring young people to dream big, think and create. Born out of our FIRST (For the Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics program (Beak Squad 4028, state champion and world ranked), these robotics student leaders translate the technical skills and soft skills back into the classroom, elevating the level of instruction. CHCA’s Upper School science department head and AP physics teacher Lu Taylor said, “The animated fountain is a tangible manifestation of our students’ wholehearted engagement and courageously creative spirit to apply their science/technology education to tackle real world problems. They are truly inspired.” Taylor also shared her vision for CHCA students and families moving forward. What will be located outside of CHCA’s New Research and Innovation Center (coming fall 2017), “…the full scale fountain will be foundational for future programs across all grade levels. Once this prototype becomes a reality, this is truly just the beginning. A science and innovation tool, students of all ages will be able to engage with it thematically, incorporating art, shapes, fluid flow, technology, and so much more.” Families and visitors will be able to benefit from this animated fountain as well - a truly inspirational, innovative and educational endeavor for the entire community.

» For two weeks leading up to the district’s spring break, approximately 125 fourth-grade students were immersed in March Madness in their phys ed, art, computer, library and music classes at Madeira Elementary School. The interdisciplinary unit started with an assembly where Principal Chris Flanagan announced of which NCAA teams each student would be a member. Pre-appointed student spirit leaders cheered the students on as they learned
if they’d be participating as a member of team Notre Dame, University of Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, University of Kentucky or Dayton. Each of the five groups ended up as a mix of homerooms, so students traveled to their ‘specials’ with different classmates. Fourth-grader Merrill Edginton explained each day’s schedule. “In library we’ve been working on food brackets, in gym we’ve been playing basketball and doing relays, and in computers we’ve been designing logos and mini flags to make a class banner. We also have been learning to sing ‘One Shining Moment,’ but my favorite has been making pennants in art class.” The unit wraps up the last day before spring break with a group competition. Scores garnered by designing the top pennants and logos, making the most basketball free throws or layups, and bonus points for wearing team colors any day are added and the winning group is announced. The future MHS Class of 2025 then performs “One Shining Moment,” which is recorded to add to a video highlighting the entire MES March Madness Basketball Tournament.
Madeira schools » Tracy Alley has been named the Madeira City Schools Educator of the Year and will represent the district at the 2017 Celebrate Excellence event in May. The Hamilton County Education Foundation sponsors the Celebrate Excellence Program. Through the provision of scholarships to teachers and educational professionals, the Foundation created the annual Celebrate Excellence Award to recognize and honor excellent educators throughout the public school districts of Hamilton County. Madeira staff, parents and community members were asked to nominate not only classroom teachers, but all certified district personnel. Desired characteristics were a high commitment to student achievement, the ability to challenge students at all levels and someone who extends him or herself to make a positive difference. Alley teaches and coordinates the district’s gifted programs at both Madeira Elementary School and Madeira Middle School. She will represent Madeira at the Hamilton County Education Foundation’s “Celebrate Excellence” breakfast in May; an event that recognizes top educators from nearly every public school district in the Cincinnati area. » For the fifth year in a row, Madeira High School will join Indian Hill and Mariemont high school bands and orchestras to perform in a Collaborative Concert conducted by Cincinnati Pops conductor John Morris Russell. The event will be 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday, April 11, at Indian Hill High School, 6865 Drake Road. Tickets are free. Russell will lead more than 200 student musicians in numbers including “Irish Legend,” Orange Blossom Special,” “ River of Life,” “Tribute to Stephen Foster,” “Americans We” and “I Got You (I Feel Good).” The students have been learning the same pieces of music throughout the winter semester in their respective ensemble rehearsals, receiving coaching along the way from Russell and Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Pops assistant conductors and musicians. The concert is part of a longstanding and collaborative effort that is a key aspect of the CSO’s education and community engagement initiative. “I’m thrilled we are continuing this See NOTEBOOK, Page 7A

collaboration for the fifth year in a row,” Russell said. “It’s a joy to see how this program has developed as well as the intense dedication of the student musicians and faculty members in rehearsing and performing together on this very special event. One of the most gratifying endeavors as Pops conductor is working in the community with music educators, developing self-discipline, creativity, teamwork and love of beauty in our students.” Directors for the schools are Lori Adams, Don Barker, Trista Emmons, MaryBeth Khamis, Angela Pontious, Chris Rotsching and Wes Woolard.

the seniors combine both service and leadership to impact agencies and individuals’ lives. All of MND’s 151 seniors completed their projects, aiding more than 100 nonprofit organizations and countless families in Cincinnati and beyond. The Senior Capstone Showcase Evening provided an opportunity for each senior to share her experience and celebrate the difference her project made in the community. This year, more than 100 professionals served as panelists for the event, representing the business, education and social service communities. Panelists provided verbal and written feedback to the seniors on their work and asked questions related to their projects. “Serving as a panelist is such a privilege and honor,” said Myla Hodges-Perry, MND Class of 1999. “The young ladies that are being cultivated at MND are truly on their way to becoming world changers. The servant leadership that is being taught and modeled allows these students to boldly trot on the road of success and to make phenomenal impacts in any sector of society. I am a proud alumna!” Now in its sixth year, MND’s Capstone is the culmination of a four-your journey for MND students under the MAP (My
Action Plan) program. The MAP program, unique to MND, is designed to engage students with experiences during their high school years that will foster leadership skills and empower them in all areas of their lives.
Summit Country Day » Nine students from The Summit Country Day School participated in the largest high school technology conference in the country, TechOlympics, last month. Three students presented a project that won second place and earned them an invite to the UC Tech Expo. Juniors Caroline Karbowski of Montgomery, Davis DeFoor of Hyde Park and Nick Sutkamp of Hyde Park presented their project, called See3D – a three-dimensional printing outreach program that uses 3-D models to help blind people understand the world around them. The concept originated with Caroline, while Sutkamp and DeFoor were recruited through The Summit’s Innovation Club to aid in the technological side of the project’s implementation. The project received a top score in creativity, tied for first in presentation and came in second overall, with one
judge commenting that if the project was crowd-sourced, they would support it, said Niko Kitsinis, Summit network analyst and Innovation Club adviser. In addition to the See3D project, Karbowski also won first place in the “Start Up” competition, was recognized by her interviewer from mock interviews for her passion and skills and received second place for her TED Talk. Senior Libin “Andrew” Zhou of Mason also received recognition for his project. He presented a showcase on 3-D-printed UAVs, or drones, that was well received by judges. His drone, which he designed and printed, showed that the cost of a drone could be reduced from $1,000 to about $130. Senior Keith Meyer of Symmes Township, junior Griffin Altmix of Hyde Park and sophomores Neng “Ben” Chai of Hyde Park and Hanchen “Jeffery” Huang of Mount Adams competed for The Summit. Senior Lillian Chow of Montgomery served as the chief operating officer for The INTERalliance of Greater Cincinnati, an organization that works with local companies and schools to introduce technology skills to high school students and organizes the TechOlympics. While she couldn’t compete with The Summit due to her position at INTERalliance, Lillian’s efforts were integral in coordinating the event. “While it might be fun to make a video game or an app, these students chose to put others first and dedicated their effort toward making the world a better place for those around them,” Kitsinis said. “This shows the true character these students possess.” More than 500 students from more than 40 schools participated in the weekend-long conference in downtown Cincinnati. Students attended mock interviews, breakout sessions, resume-building workshops, discussions with collegeaged alumni and competed in technology-related events. Students were also able to hear keynote speeches from key business leaders from around the city, including the president of Northern Kentucky University, vice president of application transformation for GE Digital, a rocket scientist and project manager for NASA, senior vice president and chief information officer for Fifth Third Bank and Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley, who declared the weekend TechOlympics Weekend in the city.

AROUND YOUR COMMUNITIES BLUE ASH
America, every day, on average, 2,500 teens abuse prescription drugs. A majority of those drugs are obtained from family, friends and the home medicine cabinet.” During the National Prescription Drug Take Back Event in 2016, 4,200 state and local law enforcement agencies in all 50 states disposed of more than 447 tons of pills turned over by the American people. The public is also reminded that they can dispose of these same medications every day of the year in a secure disposal unit located within the Montgomery Safety Center lobby. Intravenous solutions, injectables and syringes are not accepted in this disposal unit.
Help needed to find shooting suspect Blue Ash Police were dispatched to 10170 Alliance Road March 29 for a shooting. Upon arrival, officers discovered an unidentified male suffering from a gunshot wound. The investigation has led to Darryl Brown as the suspect in the incident. Brown is a Brown black male with a date of birth of March 21, 1989. His last known address is in the Cincinnati District 2 area. Brown should be considered armed and dangerous. The Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team (SOFAST) has joined the search for Brown. SOFAST is a multi-jurisdictional task force that includes U.S. Marshals Service, Ohio Bureau of Investigation, U.S. District Attorney’s Office, and local authorities. The task force is currently in the process of searching each residence Brown is known to frequent in the Greater Cincinnati area. They will continue to search for him until he is located. If you know of Brown’s whereabouts or have any information regarding this case, call the Blue Ash Police Department, criminal investigative section, at 513-745-8555, or Crimestoppers at 513352-3040.

By request: Make-ahead coffeecake and brisket Today I’m sharing two recipes that have earned Hall of Fame status. The coffeecake is a generational favorite. I get requests for it every year. The brisket is perfect for Passover Rita (but so deliHeikenfeld cious anytime). Plus RITA’S KITCHEN both recipes are very easy and can be made ahead. What’s not to love about that? 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.
Hall of Fame beef brisket The ingredients are common ones, the technique a bit different. When I made this on the Fox 19 morning show, it turned out to be the most popular beef brisket recipe ever. You can make it a couple of days ahead. That’s why it’s in my recipe hall of fame! Ingredients 1 brisket, trimmed of most, but not all, fat - up to 3 pounds 12 oz. chili sauce (not seafood sauce) 1 pouch dry onion soup mix 12 oz. regular Coke
THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD
The recipe for this coffeecake has stood the test of time.
Ruth Lyons’ coffeecake No kidding, this iconic coffeecake has made the rounds for decades. But you know what? It has stood the test of time for sure, yet it’s not a fancy coffeecake at all. Great for a beginner baker. Here’s my version. It can be made a day ahead. Ingredients 1 cup sugar 1 cup packed brown sugar - I used light brown 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon each nutmeg and salt 1-1/2 to two teaspoons cinnamon 3/4 cup canola or other vegetable oil (not olive oil) 1 teaspoon clear vinegar 1 cup milk 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions Preheat oven to 350. Mix sugars, flour, nutmeg, salt and cinnamon together. Add oil and stir until crumbly. Reserve and set aside 3/4 cup for topping. Add vinegar to milk and let sit a minute. Whisk in vanilla and egg to milk mixture. Then blend milk mixture in with remaining sugar/flour mixture. Blend in baking soda. Pour into a sprayed 13-by-9 pan. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup topping. Bake 30 minutes.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen Why add vinegar to milk? The reason the vinegar is added to the milk is to make it a bit like buttermilk or, as they used to say, “sour” milk.
Instructions Preheat oven to 350. Place brisket in sprayed heavy pot that is ovenproof with a lid. Mix sauce, soup and coke and pour over brisket. Roast, covered, for one hour. Turn temperature down to 250 (this is important for a tender roast) and roast, covered, four to five hours. Four hours gives a very tender roast that can be sliced fairly easily. Five hours produces a meltingly tender, fall apart roast. Skim fat off top and slice meat against grain (so it won’t be stringy) and serve with gravy. Or put in refrigerator after cooling a bit. Fat will congeal to the top and you can simply lift it off. Reheat roast and gravy on top of stove, covered, over medium low heat, slice, serve with gravy and enjoy! Larger roast? Double gravy ingredients. To make in crockpot I have not made it in a crockpot but Rob Williams, Fox 19 anchor, wanted to use a crockpot and asked my advice. I told him four to five hours on high. Rob cut the roast up in very large pieces and he said it turned out perfect. “My go-to way to make brisket,” he said.

Fed up with Blue Ash legal issues Recently a friend noted that Blue Ash has been in the news a lot lately, and too often for the wrong reasons. Much of it has involved city council’s legal disputes and the hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars their poor choices are costing us. Council must take its job more seriously, make better decisions, and restructure the city’s arrangement for legal services. In 2015 and 2016, Council spent $817,862 in legal fees, all to outside attorneys. $779,591 went to the firm of our “parttime” solicitor with another $38,271 to others. The total costs are outrageous enough, but it’s even worse when reviewing the specific expenditures.
Three years ago council attempted to remove a disabled child’s service animal and were sued for this illegal Jeff Capell act. I urged COMMUNITY PRESS council to stop GUEST COLUMNIST their heartless actions and the let the animal stay, with strict sanitary requirements. Council ignored my approach, and after years of costly litigation was forced by a federal judge into a consent decree that virtually mirrored my 2014 recommendations. Council’s cruel efforts cost Blue Ash $190,831. Their behavior wasn’t just wrong, it was disgraceful. Council owes
an apology to both the family and city taxpayers. Last year Blue Ash paid $5,600 for an outside firm to evaluate city leaders, which itself was a waste of money. Council never even read the results. When The Community Press requested copies of these evaluations they were denied. Council claimed that job evaluations of public employees paid for by public tax dollars are somehow not public records. I again went to council and urged them to drop their indefensible claim. They assured me that they were right and I was wrong. By the next meeting, council lost the lawsuit. This dispute has already cost taxpayers more than $42,000 and counting, a number that will
rise significantly if council follows through with its stated intention to appeal. Part of the problem is the city’s dysfunctional legal arrangement. Our solicitor is supposed to advise council on what the law actually is. He’s also a full-time partner at a major law firm being paid $240/hour by the city, which can incentivize overly aggressive litigation rather than reasonable solutions. He’s getting paid handsomely for his own poor advice while taxpayers are being gouged. I urge the following reforms: 1. Blue Ash should hire a staff government attorney to handle most legal issues, using outside counsel only for specialty issues. We could hire a full time attorney and bud-
Insurance has no place in medicine You have heard the expression “think outside the box.” Congress is not doing that. That’s James Baker not what they COMMUNITY PRESS are paid to GUEST COLUMNIST do. They are paid by lobbyists to continue the failed health care policies of the past. These policies needlessly enrich their donors. I’m told insurance ruined the individual practices of doctors through intimidation, by threatening to take their patients from them if they did not lower their rates. Insurance has ruined the lives of many policy holders by denying coverage, or actually practicing medicine, by wanting to use less costly treatment methods than their physician has recommended as prudent. It is true that liability claims have driven medical liability insurance costs too high for a lone practicing physician to afford. Since more than 100,000 patients die each year from medical mistakes, this may be the driving factor. If 100,000 drivers died on the highway each year, you would really be upset. This has been a fairly steady number for several decades. Some researchers say this number is much higher. It shouldn’t need to be to get your attention. No fiscal conservatives make health care policy or legislation. Nothing about today’s
The plan exists that can solve our medical delivery problem. It has been in use for many years and works quite well. It does need streamlining, to simplify regulations and reporting. It already has a website. It can be used with minor changes for vets and the military. You could shutter the VA and use their budget to pay for the vets portion. The program is Medicare health care system is fiscally conservative. Insurance is a “needless markup” in the healthcare industry. The management and control of the medical/industrial/Congressional complex must be returned to physicians. Doctors receive only 10 percent of the monies that flow through this system, so they are not the cost problem. What if the goal was to provide everyone with a single plastic card that they could take anywhere to get fixed, no deductibles, no co-pay? The plan exists that can solve our medical delivery problem. It has been in use for many years and works quite well. It does need streamlining, to simplify regulations and reporting. It already has a website. It can be used with minor changes for vets and the military. You could shutter the VA and use their budget to pay for the vets portion. The program is Medicare. It is potentially the ‘interstate highway’ for the delivery of medical services. Everyone gets one card. They
can then go anywhere to get fixed. Medicare must be allowed to negotiate prices with the drug companies. All goods and services would be negotiable. Several experts state that administrative costs are as much as one third of our medical costs. The administrative costs for Medicare are less than two percent. Physician and hospital reporting must be made less cumbersome to reduce costs at the service end. If you folded everyone into the Medicare program, it would greatly reduce administrative costs, lowering them to less than two percent. It would eliminate the insurance companies from healthcare, which is a great cost reduction. Depending on which economists you talk with, Medicare would save $1 to $5 Trillion during the first 10 years in service, over our former and present systems. It’s not free. Everyone pays a little so that everyone gets fixed. Now is the time. James Baker is a 40-year resident of Indian Hill.
Ozone season is upon us in spring ties that collect ozone data 24 hours a day. The Agency shares this data hourly on its website, SouthwestOhioAir.org. Ozone can be tricky to understand. It’s considered a secondary pollutant, which means it is a combination of other pollution sources, such vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions. Ozone thrives in hot, sunny conditions and that explains why our region tends to have more Air Quality Advisory days in the summer. As the warmer days approach, it’s a good time to
develop simple habits to help our air quality: » Don’t idle vehicles » Refuel vehicles after 8 p.m. » Use alternative transportation, carpool, vanpool or bike. » And as always, conserve energy - it’s easy on your wallet, too. For daily air quality updates, including pollen and mold counts, follow the Agency on Twitter @swohioair.com. Brad Miller is the assistant director of the Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency.

Leroy Turner is having all the tattoos on his hands, face and neck removed to help his chances of finding employment. Turner said overcoming a background check without tattoos is hard enough.
March 29 question How many tattoos are too many?
“One.” C.S.
“Any.’ D.B.
“The number of tattoos depends on the person and their preferences. Thirty years ago it was length of hair and men wearing an earring. However tattoos tend to be permanent and hard to hide in some cases. What makes sense at age 18 may not make sense at age 30. “These whole body tattoos do not look so good at the beach or during a job interview. They look good in prison if that is one’s goal. Go figure!” T.D.T.
“One tattoo is one too many! This cultural stigma indicates that a person wantsto be noticed. I call them ‘billboards.’ The expense of tattoos surely can be put to a better use! God spoke out about tattoos in Leviticus 19:28 NIV (“Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord.”) RAB

get $100,000/year for outside counsel, and get better service at half our current costs. 2. Bid out the solicitor’s position. His job is to provide sound legal guidance, not to cost us $190,000 picking on a special needs child and $42,000 denying public records. We can do better. 3. Our disinterested council must take their jobs more seriously. The solicitor and city manager report to council, not the other way around. Council has to stop approving these frivolous legal battles and start making smarter choices.
March 22 question Would you support legislation that would delay the start of the school year until after Labor Day? Why or why not?
“I am in full support of schools starting after Labor Day for many reasons. First, many schools in southwest Ohio do not have air-conditioning. My three children attend JF Dulles in the Oak Hills School District and more than half of the schools in the district do not have air. There are numerous studies online
that support the idea that the higher the temps in the classroom the less likely the kids will be able to concentrate and retain any thing the teachers are trying to teach. Oak Hills alone has started around 8/12 for the past two years and the average high in August, in Ohio, is 90-plus degrees. There are also numerous health issues in regard to an early start date. Allergies, asthma, heat exhaustion are just to name a few. “Second, the earlier start of schools decrease the amount of time that businesses are able to have willing staff. Swim clubs, amusement parks, state parks, etc... all have regular hours at least until Labor Day. With the start of school in early August, many of these employers lose the bulk of their employees. “Again, I am fully in support of the Senate Bill 34.” Elizabeth Riley
“I support Senate Bill 34 ‘Open schools after Labor Day.’ Beginning school in the boiling hot mid-August creates a terrible learning environment for many Oak Hills students. This is because the majority of Oak Hills elementary schools do not have air conditioning. It is impossible for children to be able to learn in stiflingly hot classrooms. A start date after labor day will significantly reduce the number of hot days the children will have to experience, and will mean that instructional hours actually translate into quality instruction. “I have contacted my senator, Lou Terhar, and asked him to support Senate Bill 34. I hope you will do the same.” Lewis Riley
“Not a day of school before Labor Day and not a day of school after Memorial Day. It’s very simple. Like the past.” D.B.

INDIAN HILL - After trotting by Cincinnati Hills League rival Wyoming in cross country in the fall for their first championship since 1997, the Indian Hill High School boys track team will try to do the same on the spring running circuit. It won’t be an easy task as the Braves haven’t won the league track crown since 1989. All seven of coach Susan Savage’s state-qualifying cross country team are running. That pack featured Joe Murdock, Ben Bayless, Patrick Giroux, Johnny Giroux, Devin Heffernan, Nolan Heffernan and Ben Warstler. Murdock was CHL first team in the 3,200 meters last season as a sophomore and Patrick Giroux was second team in the 1,600 as a junior. Bayless was honorable mention in the 3,200 as a freshman. Indian Hill also had a second team 4x400 relay. “During the indoor season, Ben Bayless finished eighth at the state meet in the 3,200,” Savage said. The Braves were also welldecorated in the fall with Murdock named Runner of the Year for Coach of the Year Savage. Others making CHL first team were Bayless, Patrick Giroux and both Heffernan brothers. Newcomers helping Indian Hill in sprints and jumping are Alex Galbraith, Marc Bennett, West Gardner and Adam Mutisam. Matt Briedis will lead the throwing efforts in shot put and discus. Upcoming events for the Braves include the Madeira Invitational April 4-5, the Coaches Classic meet at McNicholas April 8 and the Indian Hill Relays April 11.

day, Sr. Justin Ramey, Sr. John Blang, Sr. Myles Jackson Outlook: Cincinnati Country Day easily captured the Miami Valley Conference championship last season. The Indians have a very good chance of doing the same in 2017, which would give them three-straight MVC titles. In order to do that, CCD will most likely rely on its deep, and talented, pool of sprinters. CCD returns three of its members from last year’s state runner-up 4x100 meter team. Seniors Jalen Mundy, Justin Ramey and John Blang are all back, as well as senior Myles Jackson. Jackson was not a member of last year’s state 4x100 team but did make the regional finals in the 100. Jackson is expected to fill in that fourth spot on the relay. “(We have a) great senior and junior group,” CCD coach Steve Conner said. “We have a lot of new runners out to fill the spots opened up from graduation. Filling the events will not be a challenge, but experience of the new additions will be a challenge. However, if they meet expectations, we will be
as strong as last year.” One of those returners includes sophomore Alec Hamall. A regional qualifier in both the 1,600 and 3,200 he will look to pace the distance team. In the field, junior Blake Adkins, a regional qualifier in the pole vault in 2016, is back in that event and to provide more depth to the sprints. Sophomore Matthew Adkins and senior Clyde Bennett III will both lead the jumps while junior Corey Lancaster is the Indians’ top returning thrower.
Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy Coach: Jeff Timmers, 1st season Division: III Last year’s league finish: 4th Key athletes: Sr. sprinter/ jumper Adam Baker, So. sprinter/hurdler/jumper/pole vaulter Alex Barnard, Jr. sprinter Kris Carnes, Sr. sprinter/thrower Kesean Gamble, So. hurdler/ thrower Kolby Toney. Outlook: In his first year as the head coach at CHCA, Jeff Timmers is looking to build off a program that placed fourth in the MVC a season ago. That
means he and his coaching staff will be looking to some returning athletes, as well as several new faces, in order to build a foundation. “We will be strong in the field events and the sprints,” Timmers said. “If there is one area we need to work on, it would be the distance as we have quite a few younger runners in that area.” In the sprints, senior Adam Baker will have a big presence. He will also compete in the high jump and long jump. Sophomore Alex Barnard will serve as the Eagles ultimate utility man. Barnard’s versatility will be used by CHCA in the sprints, hurdles, jumps and pole vaults. Junior Kris Carnes is back, and after being an alternate on the sprint relays in 2016, his role will be expanded upon in 2017. Several new faces will also have an impact this year. Senior Kesean Gamble, a Kent State football signee, is trying track for the first time and is expected to have an immediate impact in the throwing events as well as the sprint relays. Similarly, sophomore Kolby Toney will see time in the hur-
Coach: Jason Crockett, fifth season as head coach Division: I Record last year: fourth in GCL-South Individuals to watch: Jr. Jack Lowry, Jr. Nik Lima, Jr. Ryan Smith Outlook: Lowry finished seventh in the Division I district meet at Mason in the 1,600 as a sophomore last spring. In the fall he was Moeller’s lone participant in the Division I state cross country meet. Meets to watch: April 5-7 Division I Coaches Classic at Winton Woods; April 20-21 Anderson Invitational; GCL meet May 10-12 at La Salle.
Sycamore Coach: Hank Ray Division: I Record last year: second in GMC Individuals to watch: Sr. Brenden Archer, Sr. Miles Menyhert, Sr. Kevin Lawson, Sr. Josh Glauser, Sr. Zach Richardson Outlook: Greater Miami Conference Coach of the Year Hank Ray returns several experienced contributors, including GMC Field Athlete of the Year Zach Richardson who was first team in the shot put. The Aviators also posted three relays (4x100, 4x200 and 4x800) that were GMC first team. Brenden Archer ran relays and was second team in the 100 meters and third in the 200. He will compete in college at Ashland. Miles Menyhert was GMC second team in the 1,600 meters and part of the distance relays with Kevin Lawson. The Sycamore 4x400 relay was third team. Senior Josh Glauser had See BOYS, Page 2B

INDIAN HILL - The Lady Braves of Indian Hill High School did not win a Cincinnati Hills League championship last season but could be getting closer with the return of sophomore sprinter/jumper Anna Podojil. As a freshman, Podojil made the Division II state meet in Columbus and came away with a fourth-place finish in the 400 meters, fifth in the 200 and ninth in the 100 meters. She was named CHL Runner of the Year and first team in the 100, 200 and 400 meters. She was second team in the long jump. Not only is Anna Podojil back, but she’ll be joined by her freshman sister, Ellie who can also “pick them up and put them down.” The girls will be chasing Taylor, who won last year’s CHL meet. In addition to the Podojil sisters, coach Susan Savage has several other
league contenders that are young. “Freshmen Ashleigh and Amy Prugh run the 800 and 1,600 meters,” Savage said. “Freshman Louisa Klaserner will join veteran Nicole Majchszak in the hurdle events. Samantha Lee, Sydney Miles and Hannah Mendelsohn are returning distance runners and team captains.” The Indian Hill girls join the boys team at the Madeira Invitational April 4-5. They’ll be in the Division II-III Coaches Classic at McNicholas April 8 and at the Indian Hill Relays April 11.
Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy Coach: Jeff Timmers, first season Division: III Record last year: third in MVC Key athletes: Sr. Morgan Bradley, Sr. Hannah Price, Sr. Rashel Haslem, Sr. Laura Dykstra Outlook: Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy placed

third at the Miami Valley Conference track meet last season. The Eagles have plenty of talent returning in 2017 for them to make another run at the conference title. “Our goal as a team is to win a MVC championship and to get at least one qualifier to state,” coach Jeff Timmers, who is in his first season at the head of the CHCA program,
said. “If we have one area of concern, it would be the sprint team as we have many younger athletes in that area.” The top returner for the Eagles is senior pole vaulter and high jumper, Morgan Bradley. Bradley holds the CHCA school record in the high jump and advanced to state in the event as a sophomore. The Austin Peay State is
looking to get back to the state meet again. Along with Bradley, CHCA returns three more senior captains in Hannah Price, Rashel Haslem and Laura Dykstra. Price will anchor the young sprint unit and has her eye on the school’s 400 record. Haslem and Dykstra will serve as the backbones of the distance team. Sophomore Maria Pancioli, Sydney Sauer and Maddie Buist all return as well. Pancioli, another distance standout, was on the 4x800 team that won the MVC title and advanced to the regional meet. Sauer won the conference shot put title last year while Buist will once again compete in the hurdles and high jump. Newcomers to look for include freshmen Catherin Frazer and Cameron Cooper and junior Lauren Hurry. Hurry is expected to compete in the pole vault, hurdles and high jump while Cooper will be in the field as a pole vaulter See GIRLS, Page 2B

and thrower. Frazer is a versatile and will be utilized in several events. “We come into this season with the attitude of being bold,” Timmer said. “We hope that those that watch us at the Invitationals will notice that.”
Cincinnati Country Day Coach: Steve Conner, 9th season Division: III Last year’s league finish: 2nd Key athletes: Sr. middle-distance Grace Pettengill, Sr. thrower Nichole Rosiello, Jr. hurdler/sprinter Lorae Stojanovic, Jr. pole vaulter/sprinter Clarissa Conner, Jr. sprinter Ayanna Kemp. Outlook: Cincinnati Country Day placed second in the Miami Valley Conference last season. In 2017 the Indians have their eyes on a conference title and thanks to some added depth they have improved their chances at winning the championship. “We were able to challenge for the MVC and district last year, but were thin,” CCD coach Steve Conner said. “This year we will be able to challenge with a deep group of athletes. It will be tough to catch up with Summit, but I feel that the girls are excited
about the challenge. The freshmen and new runners are very talented. It will be a fun year with this group.” Senior Grace Pettengill is a key returnee for CCD, the defending MVC champion in the 800 – she also qualified for the regional meet in the event – she’ll set the pace for the middledistance and distance team. Similarly, junior Lorae Stojanovic – the MVC’s reigning 100 hurdles champion – advanced to the regional meet in the 300 hurdles and will be relied upon this season to produce points in those events. Other returning regional qualifiers include junior pole vaulter Clariss Conner and junior sprinter, Ayana Kemp. Coach Conner will also be relying on senior throwers Nicole Rosiello and Sophie Hudson, junior distance runner Kaitlin Hardesty, sophomore sprinter Emily Ram and junior hurdler/ high jumper Moya Ly.
Mount Notre Dame Coach: Jeff Johnson Division: I Record last year: sixth in GGCL Individuals to watch: Sr. Beth Heimbuch, Soph. Ashley Learned, Sr. Olivia DiCarlo, Jr. Sydney Jefferson Outlook: MND will try to climb back into Girls Greater Catholic League contention. Beth Heimbuch was GGCLfirst team in the 800 meters and as part of the
4x800 relay. She was third team as part of the 4x400 relay. Ashley Learned and Olivia DiCarlo were also part of the the 4x800 and 4x400 relay teams. Jefferson made first team in the shot put. Meets to watch: April 5-7 Division I Coaches Classic at Winton Woods; April 20-21 Anderson Invitational; May 10-12 GGCL meet at La Salle
Sycamore Coach: Hank Ray Division: I Record last year: sixth in GMC Individuals to watch: Sr. Julia You, Sr. Angela Ruffin, Sr. Maddie Thiss, Soph. Jenna Foy, Soph. Olivia Anaple, Jr. Jodie Lawson Outlook: Ruffin is a top returner after finishing GMC first team in the high jump. The Lady Aves also had some successful relays in the 4x200 and 4x800 that were GMC honorable mention. You is a top sprinter, with junior Jodie Lawson and sophomore Anaple leading the distance runs. “The girls are very young and want to prove themselves in a highly competitive league,” Ray said. Meets to watch: April 7 Clash of the Titans at Sycamore; April 11 Indian Hill Relays; May 5 Mason Invitational.
Ursuline Coach: Rachel Bea/ Dominick Davolio
Division: I Last year’s league finish: 3rd Key athletes: Sr. middle-distance Anna Herriott, So. distance Jenna Murdock, Jr. distance Katie Harmeyer, Fr. distance Felicia Krekeler, So. sprinter/jumper Madi Person. Outlook: Ursuline’s strength this season will be with its distance squad. The Lions return the defending Girls Greater Catholic League champions in both the 1,600 and 3,200. Senior Anna Herriot, the winner of last year’s GGCL 1,600, also advanced to the regional meet as a member of Ursuline’s 4x800 team. Similarly, sophomore Jenna Murdock won the GGCL title in the 3,200 and went on to the regional meet in that event as well as a member of the 4x800. Those performances, along with a third-place showing at last year’s league meet, have certainly led to a positive attitude headed into the 2017 season. “We haven’t had a team with such a good, strong, motivated attitude in a long time,” Ursuline co-coach Rachel Bea said. “There is a lot of determination in the leadership of this group and the work hard attitude is spreading.” Other key returners include distance runner Katie Harmeyer and the team’s top-returning sprinter, Madi Person. Freshman Felicia Krekeler is also expected to have a strong impact in the distance events as she placed 23rd at the state cross country meet this past fall.

New this season, senior Roosevelt “R.J.” Barnes will participate in the long jump and high jump in between baseball games. Illinoisbound football standout Ra’Von Bonner is back in sprints and relays. “Coming off one of the best seasons, they seem very humble and want to make sure they have the same results,” Ray said of the Sycamore boys team.

iSpace gets first new executive director since being founded After launching iSPACE 16 years ago, Linda Neenan had planned to retire several years ago as its executive director. Neenan and her board members couldn’t find the right replacement, so she stayed on. Then Sue Williams, a retired engineer, joined the board of trustees at iSPACE, an educational nonprofit that exposes children to science, technology, engineering and math. It soon became apparent that Williams was the ideal successor. Williams, who worked at Procter & Gamble and Sunny Delight, can build on what Neenan has achieved because her business background complements Neenan’s teaching experience. She knows how to create operating systems to help the organization run even more efficiently and effectively, fueling further growth. And she has a characteristic that Neenan considers essential: passion for iSPACE’s mission. “After Sue joined the
board a year ago, she immediately jumped in, making it a point to understand what we do. And she was dogged in making sure things got done.” Neenan sees the leadership transition as a kind of relay race. “The baton we’re passing is passion,” Neenan said. After earning a bachelor’s degree in electrical and computer engineering at the University of Cincinnati, Williams worked in engineering. She spent 28 years at P&G, including in its health, beauty and baby care units. Then she served as vice president of engineering at Sunny Delight, a beverage company. Neenan, who will remain on the iSPACE board, realizes she could be accused of being overly protective of iSPACE by being so involved in finding her successor. But she makes no apology for guarding her legacy. “If I’m giving this baby up for adoption, I want to make sure it has a good home, a good

mom.” Neenan recalls what Williams did after being offered the job: She declined to start until after Valentine’s Day. Since retiring from the corporate world, Williams had worked at a flower shop and didn’t want to leave the owners without sufficient help during one of their busiest periods. Board President Nelson Vincent, vice president for information technology at the University of Cincinnati, said Williams’ energy and commitment has been evident in the year she’s served on the iSPACE board. “There’s just no doubt in the board’s mind that she can do
the job,”Vincent said. Williams, of Sunman, Indiana, shares Neenan’s commitment to exposing disadvantaged children and girls to STEM – science, technology, engineering and math -- because of the barriers they typically face that prevent them from entering such fields. Many don’t know any scientists or engineers and don’t know what scientists and engineers do. What’s worse: Many think such careers are boring. By providing exciting, hands-on activities and programs, iSPACE shows how interesting STEM careers can be. The goal is to supplement what students learn in traditional classes, where math and science tend to be abstract. “iSPACE is a way to make a difference when they’re still young,” Williams said, “to spark their interests and set them on the path to promising, well-paying careers, helping them to become self-sufficient as adults.”
That’s why Neenan founded iSPACE after retiring as a math teacher. As a girl, she had a passion for science and wanted to study engineering. But her high school guidance counselor told her those jobs weren’t for girls, an experience that continues to motivate her to help the current generation overcome obstacles. When she founded iSPACE, she started with an office in her Symmes Township home. Eventually, iSPACE acquired space on the Scarlet Oaks Career Campus in Sharonville, but outgrew it in a few years. In 2016, iSPACEmoved into a different building on the Great Oaks campus. Now, it has about 11 employees plus about 35 instructors who lead programs as needed. Last year, iSPACE served 28,000 Greater Cincinnati students who participated in school, youth group and summer camp program, More than 6,000 adults also benefitted from iSPACE programs.
Rotaries donate dictionaries to schools Third-graders in the Sycamore, Loveland and Deer Park school districts no longer have to wonder how to spell a word or what a word means. In early March, 1,032 dictionaries were distributed to students in six schools affiliated with those districts. The project was carried out by 23 Rotarians of the Northeast Cincinnati Rotary Chapter. In this, the 15th year of its “Dictionaries for Students” project, Rotarians spent 83 hours ensuring that students receive this vital resource. “Our club's motto is 'Leaders Building Leaders.' We feel that
students spend the first two years of schooling learning to read. From thirs-grade on they'll be reading to learn and we feel that with their very own dictionary they are put on the right path to becoming our next generation of leaders," said Doug Taylor, the Rotarian who spearheaded the program. The Northeast Cincinnati Rotary Club, formerly known as the Blue Ash/Montgomery Rotary Club meets every Tuesday at noon at the Crown Plaza in Blue Ash off of Interstate 71 and is heavily involved in many service-oriented and charitable causes in our community.

Blue Ash woman JDRF Volunteer of the Year Blue Ash resident Laura Cramer has been selected as the 2017 Cynthia Marver Marmer Volunteer of the Year for JDRF Southwest Ohio and will be honored at the Cincinnatian of the Year Gala, a black-tie event Saturday, May 13, at the Duke Energy Convention Center. The event draws more than 800 community and business leaders from the greater Cincinnati area and last year raised nearly $1.2 million. This year’s theme is “Superheroes for a Cure.” Cramer is a key volunteer leader for JDRF Southwest Ohio and she is being recognized for her many years of dedicated service to the cause. In addition to chairing the gala in the past, she also
serves on the chapter’s board of directors and his filled various other committee roles throughout the years. Having a child, Molly, who has lived with type 1 diabetes for more than 12 years, makes the JDRF mission very personal to Cramer. “Molly and I made a mutual commitment to each other when she was diagnosed,” she said. “She would work hard to manage T1D and I would work just as hard to help find a cure for her. JDRF is the absolute best vehicle for me and other parents of kids with T1D fulfill the promises we have made to our children,” said Cramer. The Cynthia Marver Marmer Volunteer of the Year is named in honor and memory of a long-
term volunteer who was one of the people instrumental in founding the JDRF Southwest Ohio chapter.

Magnified Giving expands philanthropy training program to nearly 90 schools Magnified Giving, whose mission is to educate, inspire and engage students in life-long philanthropy, has expanded its philanthropy training program to nearly 90 schools for the 2016-2017 school year. This represents an approximate 25 percent increase in the number of participating schools over the prior year. Magnified Giving’s program provides a hands-on approach to expose students to local non-profit organizations. The program engages the students in learning about local non-profits, and ultimately, the students make the choice of which non-profits will receive a funding grant from Magnified Giving. The grants are awarded each spring in a series of award ceremonies at which students present the grant checks to their recipient agencies. “We’re excited to see the program expand so successfully,” said Kelly Collison, executive director at Magnified Giving. “Increased interest in the program affirms that we’re making an important difference and that the bene-
fits of the program are tangible and life-changing. As we expand our reach we are magnifying our impact on the students, and magnifying our utilization of donor’s funds.” Since its founding in 2008 by philanthropist Roger Grein, Magnified Giving has reached more than 12,000 students through its hands-on philanthropy training program, and has granted more than $408,000 in funds to support a broad array of local non-profit organizations. The program has had a tremendous impact on both the students and the recipient non-profits. Many of the students have continued their engagement with Magnified Giving as alumni, and are eager to be ambassadors for the program. Those interested in supporting Magnified Giving, sponsoring a school program or providing any resources for operational support are asked to contact Kelly Collison at 513-733-9727 or Kelly@magnfiedgiving.org. Donations can be made online at www.magnifiedgiving.org.

Car dealer’s inspection not good enough When you buy a used car how can you be sure the vehicle is in good operating condition? Often the dealer will tell you there was a multi-point inspection to make sure everything is running well. As a Cincinnati area man learned, that’s just not good enough. Shannon, of Greater Cincinnati, writes, “My son is having a lot of trouble with a car dealership and a warranty he purchased through the dealer. He started having trouble with the car shortly after buying it, and the dealer couldn’t find the problem (even though) the car was in the shop on several occasions.” It turns out her son had bought the vehicle “AS IS,” which means the dealer won’t fix it at no cost should something go wrong with the vehicle. In addition, it was later discovered aftermarket parts on the car meant no extended warranty could be bought that would have covered the vehicle.
All this occurred on a vehicle she said had supposedly been inspected by Howard the dealer. Ain Even major used HEY HOWARD! car sales groups have been found to have problems with such inspections. Recently, the Federal Trade Commission cited CarMax and its “125+ Point Inspection." CarMax says its cars undergo, on average, “12 hours of renewing-sandwiched between two meticulous inspections.” But, the FTC charged CarMax failed to adequately disclose some of its cars had open recalls. The FTC says the recalls included defects that, “could cause serious injury, including the GM key ignition switch defect, as well as the Takata airbag defect.” Two other major automotive groups were also sued by the FTC because they too touted a “rigor-
ous multi-point inspection with our factory trained technicians.” But they too failed to, “properly disclose that some of their vehicles were subject to recalls for defects that could result in serious injury.” The big thing to remember is that used car dealers can sell vehicles that have been recalled for known safety defects just as long as they don’t claim the vehicles have passed a safety inspection. As a result, it’s up to the consumer to make sure any used car they’re considering buying does get checked out by their own ASE Certified Mechanic. That mechanic will not only tell you about the condition of the vehicle — but will also make sure there are no open safety recalls. You can check out any vehicle for safety recalls by entering the VIN number into the website. www.nhtsa.gov/recalls. Howard Ain appears as the Troubleshooter on WKRC-TV Local 12 News. Email him at hey howard@local12.com.
Handling spring yard debris The Hamilton County Recycling and Solid Waste District has resources to help residents manage yard debris and trimmings. You can use one of three yard trimmings drop-off sites: Bzak Land-
scaping in Anderson Township, Kuliga Park in Green Township and Rumpke Landfill in Colerain Township. All locations are open 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends. The district is offering free, one-hour “Backyard
