An opportunity to support the Allen family did not go unsupported in Colerain Township. Throngs of people showed up at the Chick-fil-A in Colerain Commons Tuesday, Nov. 27 for a spirit night to benefit the Allen family. Cars wrapped around the building and lines were out the door for several hours during the event. “I never expected this kind of turnout,” restaurant owner Marc Osborne said. During a spirit night event, 15 percent of sales are donated to a specific group or organization. Record crowds resulted in record hourly sales Tuesday night with the community partnering with their local Chick-fil-A to raise $4,410, all for the Allen family, he said. Prior to that, the most Osborne said he’s seen raised at one of these events where he worked was $600. The Allen family has endured more than its share of hardships in recent months. In October, 2-year-old Brody Allen, the son of Shilo and Todd Allen, died of a rare and aggressive brain cancer. In November, their 18-year-old son, Andrew "Drew" Allen, sustained critical injuries after being hit by two cars while crossing Springdale Road at Niagara Street, about a halfmile from his Colerain Township home. Drew Brody has undergone multiple surgeries since the Nov. 5 incident. In an update shared shortly before Thanksgiving weekend, Todd Allen said his son would be placed in a long-term rehab center. He was stable but faced an uncertain future, mostly due to a severe traumatic brain injury, the father shared. A GoFundMe page, Team Brody for Drew, has raised nearly $41,000 of a $75,000 goal.

Chick-ﬁl-A’s support of the Allen family started with Brody. It continues with Drew, Osborne said. “We were honored that the Allens allowed us to do this for them,” he said. “It was great to meet the family for the ﬁrst time.” Spirit nights can be stressful, Osborne said. Tuesday night was no exception, but it was also fun, he said. Watching the team get behind something stressful for a good cause was rewarding. “There’s still love out there,” Osborne added.

Neighbors reunited at Bayley community There are some friends who remain friends for life, regardless of how often you connect. You may go for months between visits, you may just write letters during the holidays or you may have lost touch over the years, but it’s amazing that when you do meet again, it’s as if you’ve never parted. There is an instant bond that lets you pick up where you left off, sharing memories and reconnecting the dots on life’s journey. Maybe you attended the same school, worked together or experienced marriage and family life at the same times. Your personalities just click and you treasure your time together. That’s how it is for Lavern Graham and her longtime friend, Agnes Reilly. They met on a Forest Park tee ball field in 1959, both pushing strollers while watching their children hit balls and run bases. Turns out their husbands, each named Tom, were both coaches for the team. Lavern and Agnes struck up a conversation and launched their 60 year friendship. Agnes and Tom Reilly grew up on Staten Island, New York. They met at a beach party when they were only sixteen and Agnes was smitten by the tall, handsome basketball player that very day. Agnes says it was “love at first story”. Lavern and Tom, both from Bellevue, Kentucky, used to play together as children when their parents, also longtime friends, would visit. But it wasn’t until Tom returned from three years in the Navy that they began their official courtship. After each married, they settled in Forest Park, which at the time was a newly developed suburb of Cincinnati. Fast forward to that tee ball game. From that first day on the field, Agnes and Lavern were BFFs (Best Friends Forever!) Both were members of Our Lady of the Rosary Church and as their families grew, so did their bond. These friends frequently shared the usual mom duties which included cafeteria worker, bake sale volunteer and booster club members. There came a time when the Reillys, with eight boys, moved to College Hill and the Grahams with four boys and two girls, moved to Finneytown to accommodate their growing families. This separation did not deter their friendship. The boys from each family attended St. Xavier, which equated to numerous Mother’s Club meetings and more

Baklava can be found at the Greeks Holiday Pastry Sale. PROVIDED

Friends and neighbors Agnes Reilly and Laverne Graham enjoy a 60-year friendship. PROVIDED

What happens when you put the best Greek pastry makers in the city in a kitchen with 500 pounds of sugar, 250 pounds of butter, 50 dozen eggs, bagsupon-bags of ﬂour, and spices that make your taste buds come alive? You get an amazing assortment of Greek pastries and hors’ d’oeuvres! These freshly baked sweet treats will be sold at the Greeks Holiday Pastry Sale at Holy Trinity-St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church 7000 Winton Road in Finneytown. The Sweet Treats sale is sponsored and freshly baked by the Ladies Philoptochos Society of Cincinnati. Pastries can be purchased by the piece or in an assortment box.

It’s a great opportunity to purchase these pastries for the holidays. Meet the baking queens: Chairwom-

volunteering. Time marches on and although their school duties decreased, their connection did not. Lavern and Agnes carved out time to play tennis together every Wednesday and when that got more difficult, they switched to golf. They would talk for long periods of time on the phone or meet at LaRosa’s to get caught up on the latest family news. Later on, when both became widows, they decided to make another move – Agnes to Twin Towers and Lavern to Bayley. In November of 2017, Agnes came to Bayley for rehabilitation and decided to make this her home. You can imagine the welcome she received from her beloved friend Lavern when she arrived. Lavern and Agnes love the fact that they are once again neighbors. Today they sit side by side at daily Mass and enjoy each other’s company at meals and activities. They see each other’s children when they come to visit and spend hours together reminiscing about those “good old days.” There’s a lot of ground to cover in a 59 year friendship, not to mention the 87 grandchildren and great grandchildren now in the picture. There’s an old Girl Scout song that captures the essence of their friendship and offers good advice – “Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other’s gold.” Lavern and Agnes have gone for the gold. Bayley is a senior living and wellness community on the west side of Cincinnati, offering programs and services to those residing on our campus and in the community. Visit Bayleylife.org. Kathy Baker

an Mina Sideris of Bridgetown organizes the baking schedule and recipes, and Georgianne Gaz of Pleasant Ridge does the shopping. Every week, an enthusiastic group of approximately 20 women gather at the church to prepare these delicious treats. “We are proud of our traditional pasties and love to prepare them,” Mina says with a smile. The holiday bake sale is the organization’s biggest fundraiser and has been a famous tradition in the community for the last 15 years. The funds raised support local and national charities that help to promote charitable, benevolent, and philanthropic outreach to preserve the sanctity of life and family. “I’ve never missed the annual holiday pastry sale,” said Sharon Pavey of Highland Heights, Kentucky. “You can’t get this selection and quality anywhere else.” “The packaged assortments are perfect for holiday gifts. I buy them for everyone in my oﬃce,” mentioned Carrie Petrou. “What’s great is that they can go in the freezer now and be ready at Christmas, too.” Carol Stefanopoulos, Freelance writer and PR specialist

Man posed as construction worker to steal from Kroger site Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Forest Park man was arrested Tuesday, Nov. 27 after police said he posed as a construction worker to steal smelling salts. Edward Wiesman, 31, is charged with theft, drug possession and carry concealed weapons. Police said Wiesman "acted as construction worker" to enter the site of the not-yet-open Kroger Marketplace store in Colerain Township near Northgate Mall. Once inside, Wiesman took approximately $10 worth of ammonia inhalants, commonly called smelling salts, officers said in an affidavit. He was confronted inside the building and fled on foot, police said. Wiesman was arrested inside the nearby Goodyear building. Police said they found methamphetamine and a 4-inch knife in Wiesman's

Edward Wiesman

possession at the time of the arrest. It is unclear why Wiesman wanted the smelling salts, which are normally used to wake up people who have fainted, but are also used by some athletes for a stimulant ef-

fect. Narcotics investigators said ammonia inhalants can be used as an ingredient to make methamphetamine, but most of the meth used in the region is not made locally and comes from Mexico. Smelling salts are available without a prescription and typically sold as a ﬁrst aid supply. Wiesman has several open drug and theft cases. He was arraigned Thursday, Nov. 29 on the new charges. He is being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center on a combined bond of $5,400 for all the open cases against him.

Edible gifts ﬁt for a party Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Reality hit me yesterday when I moved the gourds and pumpkins into the garage to winter over for seeds and removed the stalks of broom corn decorating the fence row. Later, the kids came over and helped string outdoor Christmas lights on the trees. Yes, Christmas is coming up fast! I wanted to share a couple of really good, tried and true recipes for your holiday party or for giving as homemade gifts. Maybe you’d like to try the hot fudge peppermint sauce. It originated in Gourmet magazine and took oﬀ from there as it won fans. If you’re in the mood for savory with a bit of a kick, take some time to make the curried party mix. It’s from Janet Hontanosas, a Symmes township reader. Janet and I taught cooking classes for years, and the party mix was a student favorite. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator and author. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com. Email her at rita@com munitypress.com with “Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line.

Hot curried party mix Pack these into Chinese takeout containers for gift giving. Ingredients 6 cups Chex cereals (rice, whole grain and corn) 2 cups sesame sticks 2 cups small pretzels 1 cup pecans 1 cup roasted peanuts 6 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 generous tablespoon soy sauce 11⁄2 tablespoons curry powder

2 teaspoons sugar Up to 3⁄4 teaspoon cayenne, to taste ⁄4 teaspoon salt

Instructions Preheat oven to 250. Toss together the ﬁrst 5 ingredients. Melt the butter with soy sauce over low heat. Whisk in remaining ingredients. Drizzle butter mixture over cereal mixture, tossing well. Spread in shallow roasting pan. Bake 45-60 minutes and cool completely before storing at room temperature, covered, up to 1 month. Makes 12 cups.

Family Satisfaction... We got it!

Gourmet magazine published this hot fudge peppermint sauce years ago, and it has since become a favorite. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Hot fudge peppermint sauce

Similar to what Williams Sonoma used to sell. This recipe calls for Dutch processed cocoa. Sometimes it’s called Dutched or European style cocoa. It differs from regular cocoa since Dutch is treated with an alkali to neutralize its acidity. What this does is smooths and mellows the cocoa flavor and darkens the color. If all you have is regular cocoa, go ahead and use that.

Crushed candy canes, for serving (optional)

Ingredients Makes about 2 cups

⁄4 teaspoon real peppermint extract, or to taste

Instructions In a 11⁄2 to 2-quart heavy saucepan, bring cream, syrup, sugar, cocoa, salt and half the chocolate to a boil. Reduce to a low simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in remaining chocolate, butter and extract and stir until smooth. Cool the sauce to warm before serving it so that it can thicken up.

⁄3 cup whipping cream

Tip: Make ahead

⁄2 cup light corn syrup

Sauce keeps in fridge for two weeks. Reheat gently before serving, so that it is still thick but just loose enough to pour.

2 1

⁄3 cup packed dark brown sugar

⁄4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, Dutch-processed if possible

⁄4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Want to make regular hot fudge sauce? Sub in 1 teaspoon vanilla for the peppermint extract

Viewpoints All is calm, all is bright with a few helpful tips Sandra Guile Guest Columnist Community Press

The hectic pace of the holidays is here. With it comes to do lists, family visits, holiday shopping, and get-togethers with friends. It’s also a time when our attention gets diverted away from checking important little details like our how our personal information is being used, what wi-fi connection we’re using and not quite checking out charity requests. Here are a few tips to keep at least some control of the chaos: ❚ Always ask for a gift receipt. This way the recipient can return or exchange a gift if it’s not just right. ❚ Ask about a store’s return policy and warranty information before purchasing. Pass along any information about returns, exchanges, repairs, and warranties to the person who will use the item. ❚ Not sure about a gift or gadget? Research the item by reading product reviews, check BBB.org’s Business Profiles, look at the sales flyers and ads, compare prices, look for early promotions and “flash sales.” For tips on searching online, check out BBB’s Digital IQ. ❚ Mobile Security is Important! With so many shoppers using their mobile devices to research and make purchases, it’s important to have a secure device. Be sure you’re using

the most up to date version of apps and operating system on your phone. ❚ Also, actively manage your location services, Bluetooth, microphone and camera – make sure apps use them appropriately as well. Check the app settings to make sure all apps have appropriate access to your information. ❚ Be on the lookout for name similarities. Dubious charities often pick a name that sounds like a more famous charity. Before you give, be sure you have the exact name of the charity you want to support. Learn more about charitable giving at give.org. Request a free holiday issue of the BBB Wise Giving Guide to be sent to a friend or family member this giving season! The guide features evaluation results for thousands of charities. Simply email Guide@give.org with “Free Guide” in the subject line, and a name and address of where you’d like the guide to be sent. Enjoy the holidays and remember, there’s always someone out there ready to pounce on your personal information. Protect it and learn more at bbb.org. Sandra Guile is the Community Outreach Specialist for BBB. She promotes BBB’s message of marketplace ethics through public speaking engagements, presentations, media relations, press releases, web content, and other written materials. The BBB is at 1 East Fourth St., Suite 600 Cincinnati, Ohio OH 45202. To reach the oﬃce, call 513-421-3015.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Cincinnati Bell has a feature to stop robo calls Cincinnati Bell has a feature called Privacy Defender which stops robo calls by making the caller dial “8” before the call will go through. I have spoken to several people in Cincinnati Bell’s customer service and either they have ﬂat out lied to me or are just ignorant about this feature. I had to write a letter to Cincinnati Bell before I could contact someone that knew what they were talking about and explained what is involved to get this service. All that is required is to have a META switch installed on the FiOptics line. But Cincinnati Bell won’t do what is necessary to install this META switch for all their customers. So, Cincinnati Bell, what about the rest of us, when will we be able to enjoy our time with our families without the interruptions of the robo calls? Richard J. Menchen Green Township

Sports Colerain’s long-awaited return to state is community aﬀair Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: This story was originally published on Nov. 30. The game occurred after Press deadlines. Check back next week for game coverage. COLERAIN - Ray's Barber Salon has not changed much over the last 14 years. There are still three main stools for patrons to get a fresh cut and a six-chair waiting area with a corner television – which Nov. 29 aired "The Price is Right" – for its on-deck customers. In 2004, though, it would've been Bob Barker donning the signature skinny microphone and there would have been noticeably less Colerain memorabilia inhabiting the walls around Ray's quaint, cozy shop. Now, the entire store is ﬁlled with memories of Cincinnati prep seasons past and Ray West is well aware that the Colerain Cardinals football team is one win away from another round of decorating. Tom Bolden's boys are en route to Canton, looking to cap oﬀ a perfect 15-0 season and bring home the school's second Division I state championship when they battle Lakewood St. Edward Friday night at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton. "Colerain has done a fantastic job. Just a fantastic job," West said. "The only team that's gonna beat them is themselves. Tom Bolden has done a great job with the team and developing players. It's a community thing, for sure, but the best high school football in the country is right here!" West cheers for all of the Cincinnatiarea teams to prosper. On one corner of his wall there are newspaper clippings

commemorating La Salle's run of threestraight Division II football championships. In the front window, there's a St. Xavier helmet along with others from local colleges. "It's not just about Colerain; it's about all of the teams," West said. "High

school football is the best. You pick a good game to go to each week. We support all of them. If you wanna see good football, go to Ohio." But for the 1959 Colerain alum it's hard to not have a favorite. That's why this season's run to Canton is so special

Wyoming football heads to ‘business trip’ with unmatched support Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: This story was originally published on Nov. 30. The game occurred after Press deadlines. Check back next week for game coverage. WYOMING - It could be very easy for the Wyoming High School football team to overlook the task at hand. The unbeaten Cowboys (14-0) are headed to Canton to play for a Division IV state title Saturday night. It's the program's first championship berth since 1977, when they capped a perfect season with a 26-14 win over Elyria Catholic at the Akron Rubber Bowl for the school's lone football title to date. Making its first-ever trip to Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, it's typical for a team to get lost in the glitz and glamour of a 23,000-seat venue. Setting the record straight Tuesday night was Athletic Director Jan Wilking, who delivered a simple message about the team's 240-mile northbound excursion. "Jan really set the tone at that meeting," Tim Marty said. "She said, 'This is a business trip. We're going up there for one reason. We're not going up there to party. We're gonna go up there, we're gonna behave and we're gonna win state.' That was pretty cool. That's a really good way to look at it." Marty knows plenty about winning state championships. He was a sophomore on the '77 team that brought home a Class AA title and his father, Ted Marty Jr., won a state track championship in the 4x100 in 1952. Wyoming football has been entrenched in Marty's life for as long as he can remember. Saturday will be the final game for his son, Shep, a senior offensive and defensive lineman.

"Shep is just so focused on the game. They're just trying to get through this weekend. I've just told him to enjoy it because there are not a lot of high school seniors that get to go through this," Marty said. "Win or lose, it's gonna be a special day. He thinks I'm nuts, but it's gonna mean a lot more to him later in life." Marty's other son, Will, was the Cincinnati Hills League Player of the Year in 2013 and just ﬁnished his collegiate career at Butler University with a 307-

yard, two-touchdown performance against Davidson on Nov. 17. After Shep's ﬁnal game Saturday, Marty will be a little less connected to Wyoming football. "I don't have anymore skin in the game," Marty said. "I don't have any other kids playing. This is a huge deal for me. I can't stop talking about it. I can't work. My phone is just blowing up." He'll likely jump on the Northwestern train. That's what his younger brother,

Jon, is riding. Jon's son, Andrew, is a sophomore quarterback for the Wildcats and Jon will be headed west to Indianapolis on Saturday to see Northwestern's Big 10 title clash with Ohio State. Andrew was the 2016 Athlete of the Year in the CHL after a 50-touchdown season. Andrew's favorite target that year was Garyn Prater (older brother of current signal-caller Evan), who is now a sophomore wide receiver at Ohio State. The two will be on opposite sidelines for the Big 10 Championship while their high school team attempts to win state. "I don't have anyone playing for Wyoming this year, but it kills me that these games are the exact same time on the exact same day," Jon said. "It's really crazy. They (Garyn and Andrew) played youth football together and here they are staring at each other from opposite sides of the field in the Big 10 Championship." It's difficult for this season to not have a special meaning to Jon and Tim. The brothers started the Wyoming Youth Football Program in 2005 and coached some of the seniors that are one win away from history. "We have a slight degree of ownership in all of it," Jon said with a laugh. "These kids we've coached who are playing right now, we're just so proud of them. There's a lot of people who have supported these kids for years. They're all great kids who love the game and they've worked really hard." The program can feel the support from throughout the community.

Colerain’s Ivan Pace Jr. (5) not only was a force on offense, he also was named Ohio’s Defensive Player of the Year by a media panel. MICHAEL NOYES/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Colerain player Ohio’s top DI defender, All-Ohio team named Melanie Laughman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Division I All-Ohio team and the Ohio Mr. Football Award were announced Wednesday, Nov. 28 by a statewide media panel. Lexington's Cade Stover was named the 2018 Ohio Mr. Football. Ivan Pace Jr. of Colerain was named Defensive Player of the Year. Since the award has been given in 1987, only one Southwest Ohio athlete

has been named Mr. Ohio, Marc Edwards of Norwood in 1992. A Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association committee, not the whole membership, selected the awards. The 2018 Division I Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association All-Ohio football teams are: Coach of the year: Buddy White, Reynoldsburg Oﬀensive player of the year: Trevor Byczinski, Berea-Midpark Defensive player of the year: Ivan Pace Jr., Cincinnati Colerain

called Fawcett Stadium. He mounted a 2004 plaque with a Colerain helmet and keeps copies of the student newspaper from his glory days, The Cardinal Quill, tucked in a back storage space. The 79-year-old even dug out a Cincinnati Post game story highlighting when Bolden quarterbacked Colerain to its ﬁrst-ever win over Moeller in the 1987 season-opener. "Colerain, we are who we are. It's hard-working people. We don't ask for much, we just go out and do what we do and we earn it," Bolden told the Enquirer after beating Elder for a regional title on Nov. 16. West concurs with the veteran coach's assessment. He has cut hair with fellow barber Sandy Abt for 30plus years. When the work week is done, the brightest lights in Colerain are found at Cardinal Stadium. There is no school for Colerain students on Friday's game day as it was named a calamity day, the Northwest Local School District announced over Facebook on Monday. West doesn't know if he'll make the trek up to Canton. He may watch the title bout at Game On, which has had a viewing party for Colerain faithful throughout the playoﬀs. "If he were 40 years younger, he'd go to every game," Abt said with a laugh. Outside of the shop, there's a banner that reads "The Road to State Goes Through Colerain," and it's far from the only sign of support proudly manifested along the snowy sides of Colerain avenue. Graeter's Ice Cream, Geraci Jewelry, Skyline Chili and Langen Meats are just a few local businesses that had some sort of parting message for the Cantonbound Cardinals when the charter buses left the high school Thursday afternoon with a police escort. "This is just amazing. We are so excited for the boys and so excited for the entire community rallying behind these

kids," Colerain lunch-lady Brenda Faucett said while waving away the Executive Charter buses while wearing a state championship shirt and football antennas attached to her head. Co-worker Deanne Greve added: "We're gonna be 15-0, baby! It's a new beginning." This season has been a frequent topic throughout the community, especially during league play at Colerain Bowl, which has had a good luck memo flashing underneath its sign for the past week. C.E.O. Frank Ruggerie has always had a strong relationship with the hometown school, one birthed by the founding of the school's varsity bowling team when the sport became recognized by the Ohio High School Athletic Association in 2006. "They've always had a very progressive and well-organized athletic department," Ruggerie said. "They've always had good administrators, not just in the athletic department. It's just a proud school and a proud community." Ruggerie's palace of pins has been here for more than 30 years. He can feel the excitement the football team has created among the community and it shows when people stop at Colerain Bowl to purchase their playoff tickets. "It's definitely a buzz. And it's tough to grow organically since there's not any real media centered out here in Colerain Township," Ruggerie said. "I think people do their part to try and create the buzz and spread the word. In the evenings here, it's a popular topic of conversation. We will sell a couple hundred tickets just from people stopping by." Ruggerie admits the community enthusiasm was probably bigger during the 2004 run, but wishes all of the athletes realize how big this moment is for everyone involved. "I just hope the players and the school get that feedback personally and know that people are paying attention," he said. "We are very proud of it. The competition is very fierce, especially in the top division. It's a tremendous thing in Ohio to get to this game."

Cowboys to Canton. For all of Wyoming's success throughout its many athletic programs, football stays superior. This is the 100th season of Cowboys football and 89 have been winning campaigns. Its second-round playoﬀ victory over Indian Hill on Nov. 10 was the program's 700th career victory. "Going to state is the dream for every kid that plays football at Wyoming," Jon said. "Football in this town is unbelievable. It's a small community and football is just the thing to do on Friday nights." Tim added: "Football in Wyoming is a big deal and it always has been. We had spirit buses going up 41 years ago and we have that now. Football has always been a fabric of Wyoming and we've always had the support of the community." At 2.8 square miles, Wyoming is compact part of Hamilton County. Wherever you venture to in the city, though, the consensus remains that Wyoming is the typical Friday frenzy town where football reigns supreme. Jim Gelhausen has worked at the Wyoming Meat Market since 1969. The Roger Bacon grad remembers what it was like in 1977, but feels the community has an even stronger bond now through the school. "I think Wyoming is more tight-knit than it was then. There's just that great camaraderie," Gelhausen said. "School is probably the most important thing in this city. Everybody's involved with it. So when something like this happens, everybody is excited. They're making memories they will keep for the rest of their lives." Across the street, Inez Baird of the Art Resource Team caught the Friday night fever when her son, Hogan, played for Wyoming before graduating in 2016. "I really miss it," Baird said. "When it ended three years ago for Hogan, it was like, 'what are we gonna do?' You could equate it to 'Friday Night Lights.' It's a small town; everybody knows every-

body. Football is a big deal and it's what we do." Tela Bar + Kitchen opened in 2015, the same year of Wyoming's last regular-season loss. The gastropub is close enough to Bob Lewis Stadium that an Evan Prater deep ball could probably hit the back entrance. Owner Doug Nawrocki, a 1986 Colerain grad, has quickly learned over three the last three years how big of a deal the Cowboys are. "Everybody comes in with their Wyoming gear before and after the game. It's just great," Nawrocki said. "Because of us being here since 2015, I really feel like we've become part of the community and we've developed a lot of friendships here." Tela will host a watch party Saturday night at 1212 Springﬁeld Pike when Wyoming battles Girard (13-1) at 8 p.m. "Head coach Aaron Hancock has done a fantastic job, going 12-1 the last two years and then getting over the hump this year," former Wyoming AD Jim Barre said. "It's gonna be a very interesting matchup. I think the whole city of Wyoming will be there. It's just very exciting for the community."

go, campus pastor at Crossroads Church in Oakley. “We’ve heard many people talk about trying to survive or get though life and adversity,” Donna Blundred said. “Yes, surviving - just getting by this day - is real and true, but it connotes hanging on and clinging by our finger nails. We wanted to fundamentally contrast thriving from surviving. Can you imagine thriving in life it’s all about you? We must invest in others. We can’t do it alone, or in the middle of an isolated island.” “There are great resources on this topic,” Larry Blundred said. “But many are written from an academic perspective. We wanted this to be personal, real, hopeful and yes, practical.” Proceeds from the book will benefit local organizations that help people thrive, including Crossroads Church, BLOC Ministries, Pink Ribbon Girls and The Tri Health Chaplain Program. The Blundreds’ first book, “Staying Resilient When Life Throws You More Than A Curveball,” published in August 2017. The couple also formed Thriver Ministries, LLC to remind people that adversity can be the catalyst for resiliency.
