Many hands makelight work

Springfield Township Town-ship projects, events and com-munications coordinator KimFlamm says it’s not easy to getthe Grove Banquet Hall set upafter special events such as up-coming Playhouse in the Parkpresentations in February andApril, but a group of folks fromLifespring Church led by DickAlexander helps transition thehall which makes it easier to of-fer those events.

Alexander says his Biblestudy group approached thetownship and asked where vol-unteers would be helpful.

“We started helping at eventslike Winterfest,” he said. “Andwe kept asking where else theyneeded volunteers. With about10 people, it takes us about anhour. For Kim and Thom(Schneider, director of seniorservices and The Grove), it wasa really long night if the two of

them had to do the setting up.“They work hard, they are

dedicated and I suspect theywork long hours. We appreciatethem and the good work they doon behalf of the community andwe want to support them.”

Flamm says the work they dois appreciated as well.“It was anightmare,” Flamm said. “Itwould take two or three of us along time. But Dick Alexanderand his team from LifespringChurch have it down to a sci-ence. We are so grateful forthem, as well.”

The group includes DrewKorth, Andy Smith, Dick Alex-ander, Santa, Betty Alexander,Amelia Teffeteller, Cassie John-ston, Jessica Fouts, Jeff John-son, Eric Jones, Anna Meloy, Ca-leb Meloy, Dottie Jo Menkhaus,Bree Sigafoose, Nick Sigafoose,Rob Tankersley, Lindsay Tan-kersley, Mike Thom, and LisaZink.

COLLECTION TIME

Best mistake ever.A wrong turn down an un-

familiar street by FinneytownSchools Superintendent Ty-rone Olverson turned out to beserendipitous for some of hisstudents.

Olverson was familiarizinghimself with the school dis-trict, and followed WarderDrive back to the greenhousesthat have stood there since1930. Speaking with TracyFryburger, a grower and hor-ticulturist, an idea germinat-ed, and then bloomed into aprogram that brings studentswith developmental disabili-ties to the greenhouses towork.

Plants aren’t the onlythings flourishing at thegreenhouse. Bobby Jung andTyra Tait, who both work atthe greenhouse a couple days

each week, have blossomed inthe program, as well.

As they help place the seaof poinsettias, elephant earsand other plants in the KrohnChristmas display, both are fo-cused on their work, helpingbuild a festive red and whitetree that towers to the roof ofthe Eden Park greenhouse.Teacher Diana Erdmann issigning instructions to Bobby,who is deaf, while Tyra has aslight smile on her face as shehands the poinsettias to aKrohn worker up on a ladder.

Fryburger says the stu-dents are good workers.

“Bobby comes in, puts onhis apron and gets right towork,” she said. “We teachthem about the plants. Theystart flower pots, waterplants, whatever needs to bedone. Poinsettias are not easyplants to grow, but they have

Feeding needymakes NeighborsWho Care

The Helping Hands ofHope food drive is a 24-year-old tradition thatstarted in the basement ofAssistant Fire Chief MoseDemasi’s SpringfieldTownship home. The firstyear, Demasi and his wife,Barbara, packed boxes offood for five families anddropped it off at a food-bank. This year, nearly200 volunteers packedaround 600 boxes of foodto deliver to families inneed before Thanksgiv-ing.

“We wanted to dosomething nice for people

at Thanksgiving,” MoseDemasi said. “Then wethought, ‘there has to be away we could do more.’”

Over the years morepeople became involvedwith the project. Demasirecruited other firefight-ers, churches and com-munity members to do-nate and help pack boxesof food. The Sacred Heartof Jesus Church in Fair-field donated 200 turkeysthis year, which allowedDemasi to spend leftoverdonations on more food.

Macaroni and cheese,Ramen Noodles, potatoes,canned vegetables, stuff-ing, cookies and otherfoods packed the boxeswaiting to be delivered onMonday to hungry fam-ilies. Volunteers startwith an empty box andwalk in an assembly lineof food stations to packvarious foods.

“We wanted to dosomething for people inneed, for working fam-ilies in need,” Demasisaid. “We are trying to

make sure they haveenough food beyondThanksgiving, so whenkids are out of school theyhave food to eat.”

Barbara Demasi is anurse in public health andcollects names of hungryfamilies through her job.The food drive was bornout of her desire to helpfamilies in need, her hus-band said.

“The level of povertyin Cincinnati is huge,”Barbara Demasi said. “Idon’t think people realizejust how severe it is.”

The couple also re-ceives names from otherfirefighters, churchesand the community. Vol-unteers will deliver thefood boxes directly tosome of the families, butmost of the food boxes aredelivered to various loca-tions for pick up.

Many of the volunteersare Cincinnati firefight-ers and their families, butthe event has grown be-yond the fire department,Demasi said. He didn’trecognize many of the vol-unteers that packed theunion headquarters Satur-day.

“We started out in ourhouse, now it’s just grownand grown through dona-tions,” Barbara Demasisaid. “It’s amazing, it’s be-cause of everybody here.It would’ve never hap-pened if we didn’t havethe gifts that everyone do-nates.”

the greenhouse, we willstart bulbs for the Easterdisplay. Bobby and Tyraare so easy to work with. Ireally didn’t know what toexpect. But it’s been great,a real blessing.”

Fryburger also tries tohave some fun at thegreenhouses with the stu-dents. They had a snowball fight last year, andcarved pumpkins this fall.

The students enjoy be-ing at the greenhouse, aswell. Windows bear Bob-by’s art work, doodlesdrawn in condensation –moons, stars, trees, flow-ers – snapchats on glassthat fade when the conden-sation disappears. Histeacher says he’s comfort-able there.

“The difference in bothof them is remarkable,”Erdmann said. “Both ofthese students were goodcandidates for the pro-gram. They both likestructure, they are goodworkers, and once they un-derstand the task, they cancarry on with little super-vision. They transfer whatthey learn from job to job.And they work hard. Theyget to work, and they don’t

tended them all fall, andnow they are getting thechance to help set up theChristmas display. Back at

stop until you tell them to.”The program is also

giving the students mar-ketable skills. That’s im-

portant, as both studentswill eventually age out ofhigh school programs andwill need to find jobs. At22, they leave school.What’s next for them.

“I don’t know,” Erd-mann admits. “But theyhave an array of skills thatmay help them find jobs.”

The program is givingthem more than job skillsand work experience.

“I think it’s given thema sense of purpose,” Erd-mann said. “The changehas been remarkable. Ty-ra’s confidence and self es-teem have grown at thegreenhouse. She smiles.Before, in class, she waswithdrawn. Now she’s an-swering questions in class,and she’s more engaged.You see it with Bobby, too.He loves being at thegreenhouse.”

Erdmann says the Fin-neytown School District isa safe environment forstudents with specialneeds. “You see authenticacceptance from studentsand I think that starts withthe district’s staff,” shesaid. “The entire commu-nity is welcoming to ourspecial needs students.”

Five-year-old Mathias Nel-son looks left and right as hecarefully unzips his classmatePatrick’s bookbag and tucks ina small gift he has wrapped andaddressed himself.

“It’s a surprise – they opentheir backpack and say, ‘Oh, it’sa present!” he says in a confi-dential whisper. “Putting pre-sents in backpacks is kind oflike Santa – but Santa putsthem in your house.”

For the last 10 years, BrentElementary teacher Darla Fie-deldey’s classroom has servedas a one-stop holiday shop andgiftwrap center for her kinder-garten students. The shopopens the Monday afterThanksgiving and closes atwinter break. Each child canshop once per day for a class-mate or family member – butonly if he or she writes a list outfirst.

“This is the most writingthey’ve done all year becausethey’re motivated to write,”their teacher says. It’s alsowork on fine-motor skills – allthat cutting, wrapping and tap-ing – and a lesson in giving.

“I’m giving this to my aun-tie,” says Niyla Stewart, 5, of aceramic soap dish she’s wrap-ping, “so her soap doesn’t spillall over the sink.”

The gifts are mostly contri-

butions from Fiedeldey andher friends and family – smallgifts they bought and nevergave, Happy Meal toys, free-bies, holiday ornaments. To herstudents, they’re treasures.

“It’s funny what they pick,”their teacher says. “Some-times they pick things theyreally, really want themselves,and they give them to theirmom because they knowthey’re going to get it.”

Fiedelday says there’s an-other reason moms and dadsand classmates get the major-ity of the gifts. The studentsknow how to spell m-o-m and d-a-d and can look up classmates’names on the bulletin board.

Fiedelday smiles. “I don’tget many presents – becausethey can’t spell my name.”

» Dr. Saad Ghosn uses his artto say things he believes in andto show the world as he wouldlike to dream it.

That was his message to 16art students at Winton WoodsHigh School during a visit thatwas part of the Taft Museum’sArtists Reaching Classroomsprogram.

“Art is the voice of the artist,”Ghosn said. “It is the way we ex-press ourselves.”

Ghosn showed the studentsthe woodcut he had carved for“The Road to Peace” and thenthe print itself. He explainedthat printmaking allowed an art-ist to make multiple copies of awork, and when used for socialjustice, those copies could beused in many places.

Students broken into twogroups to analyze Ghosn’s artand then discuss it. Many sawthemes of compassion, injus-tice, non-violence, freedom andprotecting the planet.

Ghosn encouraged the stu-dents in their own work.

“You need to practice yourart and let it grow,” he said. “Itshould come from within you,from what you believe in. Itshould come from your heart.”

those rounds, showing dedica-tion and skill that is impressivefor any middle school student.Even though the spelling beewas a tough competition, Na-than and Nico had each other'sbacks when it came to encour-agement, self-confidence, andpreparation.”

Lisa Washam, Nathan’s mom,

said the two boys studied for thespelling bee together.

“Nico has been a good friendto Nathan and has encouragedhim over the years,” Lisa Wash-am said. Nathan has severe au-tism and a motor tic disorder.

“I am impressed with Nico’scharacter,” she said. “He hasbeen kind and inspirational toNathan, and Nathan considershim as his friend. I think that Ni-co’s character will take him fur-ther than a win or loss in onespelling bee.”

has changed in many positiveways in the 11 years that TimCleary served on the district’sboard of education.

He’s been part of creating theAcademy of Global Studies, im-plementing part-time enroll-ment for home school students,building the new high school sta-dium, and forging internationalschool partnerships in China. Itwas all this, and more, that led toCleary receiving the district’sCommunity Spirit Award at theNovember board meeting.

“It’s more than communityspirit for this gentleman,” Su-perintendent Anthony G. Smithsaid. “He’s put his life, and ener-gy and commitment into mak-ing this district a better placefor all our students. His energy,his enthusiasm, his love for chil-dren, and his love for district isjust a small token of who he real-ly is.”

Cleary said some of the high-lights of his time as a boardmember included greetingteachers at the high school onthe first day of school, awardingfull-ride college scholarships tostudents through his affiliationwith Cincinnati Christian Uni-versity, and working with a staffand administrators “who workhard and care about students.”

Cleary thanked the board forhis appointment to the GreatOaks board and said, “I’ve en-joyed all the fingerprints I’mleaving behind in policy and fa-cilities and the stadium. It’sbeen an honor to serve myneighbors.”

We always have family and friendsover for New Year’s Day.

This year I’m serving beef tender-loin. I know, I know, it’s expensive forsure, but it’s an elegant and easy entreefor a party. And when I think about it, itdoesn’t cost any more than if I wouldserve two other kinds of meat, as Isometimes do. Plus I can get it ready toroast ahead of time. And there’s nowrong way to serve it: warm from theoven, room temperature or even chilled,sliced on a bed of greens.

Like many of you, I can’t believe 2016 is justdays away. As I’ve said before, I appreciatecoming into your lives each week through thiscolumn. It’s a special and unique way to keepin touch.

There aren’t many columns like this onenow-a-days where reader involvement is notonly welcomed but an important part of shar-ing. So continue to do that as we begin anotheryear of exploring the wonderful world of foodtogether.

And it doesn’t matter what level of cooking

you’ve achieved or care to do. Today’scolumn is a great example: from gour-met beef tenderloin with a homemadeFrench herb blend to refrigerated bis-cuits gussied up with butter and cheese!

Readers want to knowRib and loin pork chops - what’s the

diff?Rib: have a bone running along one

side and a layer of fat on the outside.Tender with a mild flavor.

Loin: cut toward the center of the loin theywill have a T-shaped bone that has loin on oneside and tenderloin on the other. Very leanwith mild flavor.

Cook quickly: Brown on both sides overfairly high heat, then cover, finish cookingover very low heat.

Foolproof beef tenderloin with herbs

Leftovers make great beef sliders. I love to use the dried herbs Ihave from my herb garden.

Bring the meat out at least 30 minutes prior to roasting. It willroast more evenly.

Preheat oven to 400.

1 tenderloin, 2-1/2 to 3 pounds trimmedOlive oilFreshly ground black pepper and salt1 generous tablespoon garlic, mincedRub roast with olive oil, sprinkle & pat garlic all over and then

sprinkle black pepper and salt all around.Mix together:1/2 cup parsley, chopped1 tablespoon Herbes de Provence OR1 teaspoon dried tarragon1 teaspoon dried thyme1 teaspoon fresh or dried rosemary, minced1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Roll beef in herb mixture to coat all over. Roast until thermom-eter registers 130-145 for medium rare to medium. This will takeabout 30-40 minutes or so for medium rare. You can always leave it inlonger if you like.

Remove from oven, tent and let stand 10 minutes or so to redis-tribute juices. Temperature will rise a bit, too.

Rita’s herbes de Provence

Blend together and store in cool, dry place away from light:

1/4 cup dried thyme leaves2 tablespoons dried marjoram or 1 tablespoon oregano1 tablespoon dried rosemary, minced1 tablespoon dried savory leaves, not powdered savory2 teaspoons dried lavender flowers1 teaspoon fennel seeds1 dried bay leaf, crumbled

Easy Parmesan biscuits

A friend of mine takes refrigerated biscuits to a higher level bydipping in butter and cheese.

1 tube buttermilk biscuits (5 biscuits)Melted butterParmesan cheese, about 1 cup

Preheat oven to 400. Dip both sides of biscuits into butter, theninto cheese. Place 1 inch apart on sprayed baking pan. Bake until gold-en, about 8-10 minutes

Show your ‘tender’side for New Year’s

Tenderloin is a tasty - albeit expensive - New Year’s dinner that you can make ahead.

Dec. 23 questionLooking to 2016, if you can

grant one wish for your communi-ty, what would it be?

No responses.

Dec. 16 questionChristmas is said to be a season

of magic. Describe a moment ofChristmas or holiday magic inyour life.

“My car broke down onChristmas Eve; that’s my mir-acle.

“It was 1994. At the time, Iwas an outside salesman for a lo-cal industrial supply distributor.We were open until 3 p.m. Christ-mas Eve. Everyone was in the of-fice for the Christmas luncheon,but no one wanted to be there, es-pecially me. I was going to gostraight from the office in Win-ton Place to my home in Ander-son, loading up the Taurus wag-on with Christmas gifts, thewife, and two daughters, ages 4and 1. We would first be going tomy sister’s house for my fam-ily’s Christmas celebration, andthen leaving for Dayton, tospend the night and Christmasday at my wife’s parents’ homefor celebration Np. 2.

“At 2:45 p.m., a walk-in ‘willcall’ customer shows up: there’salways someone who has a holi-

day emergency. Not my concernthough, I’m getting out of there.I got a lot traveling to do in thenext eight hours. As I pull out onto Winton Road my car stops!The engine is running, but I can’tgo forward or back. Upon in-spection, the right front wheel is90 degrees to the right while theleft wheel is pointed straight; aproblem. Everyone from the of-fice, including the ‘will call’ cus-tomer comes out to help. I kickthe right wheel into alignmentand we push the car back into theparking lot. We’re all standingthere looking at the broken car.A fellow salesman who also livesin Anderson, volunteers to driveme home, but my mind is racing:‘What am I going to do? There’sno time to fix this situation!”

I thank Joe for his offer, but

tell him that getting home is theleast of my worries. At that, the‘walk-in’ customer steps up andsays, ‘I’m the service managerat Woody Sander Ford. I can geta tow-truck to get your car, andI’ll set you up with a loaner car.’You cannot imagine my joy anddisbelief.

“Joe gave me a ride to WoodySander Ford (1-1/2 miles). Theservice manager got me outfit-ted into a small station wagon,and I was on my way home toload up the car with family andgifts.

“I thanked God for the ser-vice manager being at the exactright place at the exact righttime. Later, as we were travel-ing, the whole picture of the mir-acle came into focus. If my car’stie rod had not broken in front ofthe office, but instead on thehighway at 60 mph...The visionof Christmas presents strewn-vacross the highway, a mangledcar, and untold carnage on myyoung family came into view inmy mind’s eye. Our 1-year-olddaughter at the time, has justgraduated from UC. It mightnever have been.

“Someone was looking out forme and my family on that Christ-mas Eve. Thank you, Lord!

“Kudos to Woody SanderFord and the service manager!”

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’SQUESTION(Since no one really had time toanswer last week’s question, weare asking it again):Looking to 2016, if you can grantone wish for your community,what would it be?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers [email protected] withCh@troom in the subject line.

I have run into a problemtoo often over the last year orso, and I believe it is time tosort it out with the help of youwilling and understandingPress readers. It has to dowith friendships between toapparently (though not really)different kinds of people.

One woman comes to mindwho is important in my lifebecause I feel her genuinecaring for me and respect forme when she cheerfully lendsme her assistance; yet, when Iattempt to do little acts inreturn here and there to show

that we arefriends, I feelsome barrierthat I do notunderstandand that Icannot pene-trate. She isone of a num-ber of such“almost”friends of

mine.I am talking about folks

who are sighted who gener-ously give of their time, tal-ents, energy and caring in

performing endless acts ofkindness for me and otherpeople who are blind whom Iknow. Yet, when we want togive back in some small wayhere and there, our generosityand kindness is directly orindirectly rejected. We evensee hurt feelings and maybesome anger in friends whenwe try to show our caring forthem. We do not see graciousand appreciative acceptanceanywhere.

What is friendship? I al-ways thought it was a two-waystreet. What is out of kilter

with the picture I just drewfor you, the readers of thePress?

What barrier are we peopleon the receiving side not al-lowed to cross, or to climbover or under or through?

Have any of you readerssuffered from the same orsimilar conundrum, that is,have you felt as though youare always on the receivingend because you may needmore assistance than othersdo in certain situations; and,when you have an opportunityto assist those same people,

your kindness is rejected?I am hoping that looking at

the problem with some dis-tance and thoughtfulness andin cooler moments, ratherthan being smack dab in anemotionally fraught encoun-ter, will shine some light onmy predicament, a predica-ment that stands in the way ofwhat I think of as genuinefriendship.

Any thoughts please? Mye-mail address is [email protected].

Friendship: Readers’ perspective requested

Joyce RogersCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

As part of my efforts tobetter represent you in Wash-ington, I routinely ask localfolks what Congress can do toimprove their lives and ourcommunity. One answer I

hear time andagain (alongwith simpli-fying the taxcode andgetting thefederal gov-ernment offtheir backs)is that weneed to re-place theBrent SpenceBridge.

The bridge was built in1963 and was intended tocarry 75,000 cars daily. Well,today, it is estimated thatmore than double that –160,000 cars –cross the bridgeevery day. As a result, thebridge is now considered“functionally obsolete.” Bot-tlenecks on the Brent SpenceBridge cause headaches fordrivers deep into Kentuckyand as far north as Dayton inOhio, and not just on I-75 andI-71, but also on side roads aspeople seek alternative routesto the clogged interstates.

Consequently, replacingthe bridge should reducetraffic congestion and dra-matically improve travelthroughout the region, whichis why I have long supportedthe project.

Over the years, I haveworked with leaders fromboth Ohio and Kentucky tohelp secure more than $50million in federal funding forthe bridge, mostly to com-plete studies and relatedpreliminary tasks.

More recently, our effortshave focused on creating anew grant program for na-tionally or regionally signifi-cant projects, for which theBrent Spence Bridge wouldbe eligible for funding. Aspart of that effort, I haveworked with other membersof Congress to urge leader-ship and the administration toinclude the program in along-term transportation bill.Former Congressman GeoffDavis and I even testifiedbefore the House Transporta-tion and Infrastructure Com-mittee to advocate the cre-ation of such a program.

I am happy to report thatour efforts have finally paidoff, as a new grant programfor large projects of nationalor regional significance wasincluded in the five-year

transportation bill that theHouse passed Dec. 3.

This is potentially a bigwin for Greater Cincinnati,because it finally establishesa federal framework for fi-nancing the replacement ofthe Brent Spence Bridge.That said, there are twothings to keep in mind.

First, Ohio and Kentuckywill have to compete withother states for funding.However, the Brent SpenceBridge is practically the post-er child for this program, andshould be an attractive pro-ject. Secondly, because weface an $18.5 trillion debt, thefederal government can onlyfund a portion of the bridge’sestimated $2.6 billion pricetag. The rest of the moneywill need to be generatedlocally.

Still, for the first time inyears, Ohio and Kentuckyhave a path forward on thiscritically important project.

Beyond the Brent SpenceBridge, the highway bill willalso help to bolster, repairand strengthen our agingtransportation infrastructure,without raising gas taxes.And it will provide states andlocal governments some cer-tainty as they move forwardon much-needed transporta-tion improvements.

So, while the transporta-tion bill is not perfect, it doesset Greater Cincinnati on theroad to a better, safer future.

It’s time to replaceBrent Spence Bridge

Wrist injuries are commonamong young athletes. A fallonto an outstretched hand is acommon mechanism of injury.

The most commonly frac-tured bone around the wristwith such a mechanism is theradius bone, accounting forroughly one third to one half ofall wrist fractures in children.

Though less common over-all, another important fracturefrom a fall onto an outstretchedhand is the scaphoid fracture.The scaphoid bone, a smallbone that sits on the thumb sideof the wrist, is the most com-monly fractured carpal bone. Ascaphoid fracture is difficult todiagnose as it is often not seenon initial X-rays. It can be dev-astating if not treated properlyand can ultimately impact re-turn to play.

Some of the symptoms in-clude pain and swelling at thebase of the thumb and in-creased pain with movementand gripping objects. If youthink your child has a wristinjury, it’s always best to havean examination by a physicianto determine the need for diag-nostic imaging and treatment.Some of the diagnostic testsmay include:

» X-ray: the most common

diagnostic testfor a scaphoidfracture. Thistest utilizeselectromagnet-ic waves ofhigh energy todistinguishbone from softtissues (mus-cles, tendons,ligaments,

skin, fat tissue). This test iscommonly used as an initialtest to determine if your childhas sustained a scaphoid frac-ture.

» Magnetic resonance imag-ing (MRI): a radiation-free testthat uses large magnets toproduce detailed images ofboth soft tissues and bone. MRIis best for determining patholo-gy of tendons and ligamentsthat cannot be seen with X-raysalone. An MRI may pick up ascaphoid fracture that a plainfilm X-ray misses.

» Computerized tomography(CT or CAT scan): uses X-raysto produce “virtual” slices ofbody parts. CTs are particular-ly important for looking atbones. They produce imagesthat are more detailed thantypical X-rays.

Once the diagnosis of the

scaphoid fracture is made,your doctor will determine thebest possible treatment plan.The non-surgical approachinvolves a cast that includesthe thumb. Healing time isusually four to six weeks inthese instances.

If the fracture involves twoseparate pieces of the scaphoidbone, surgery may be needed.Compression screws, wires andimplants are some of the surgi-cal techniques used to hold thebone together. Recovery timecan vary.

At Cincinnati Children’s, wehave a team of physical thera-pists with pediatric training toassist your child with his or herwrist rehabilitation. Yourchild’s therapist will work indi-vidually with your child todesign a regimen aimed atrestoring function.

For more information, con-tact the Pediatric Sports Medi-cine experts and make a sameday appointment by calling513-803-HURT.

THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Kenny Thompson of North CollegeHill makes an acrobatic shot againstWestern Hills Dec. 16.

Michigan State senior de-fensive lineman Joel Heathcertainly made the most of histrip home in late October.

Heath, a 2011 MountHealthy High School graduate,spoke to the Owls football teamduring halftime of their gameagainst visiting NorthwestOct. 30. With the game tied at 7,Heath encouraged the youngerplayers to seize the moment inthe second half.

Mission accomplished.“I tried to pump them up and

told them to be dominant,”Heath said. “It was a good op-portunity to speak to them.”

Mount Healthy coach ArvieCrouch said Heath was so em-phatic you could hear a pindrop in the locker room.

“I can’t say enough abouthim,” Crouch said. “He is a fineyoung man. He’s given a lot ofhard work and dedication to hisfamily and to his MichiganState family.”

It goes without sayingHeath has made the most of hisopportunities in East Lansing.

And that certainly makeshis parents, Chauncy and Kim,and his community very proud.

“He’s a great ambassadorfor us,” Crouch said. “He’s soclassy. He presents himself so

well.”Michigan State was Heath’s

only Big Ten offer during therecruiting process, but coachMark Dantonio and assistanthead coach/co-defensive coor-dinator Harlon Barnett cer-tainly had the confidence inhim.

The fifth-year senior is oneof six Greater Cincinnati play-ers on Michigan State’s rosteras the Spartans (12-1) prepareto play Alabama (12-1) in theGoodyear Cotton Bowl in theCollege Football Playoff semi-final Dec. 31.

The game will be played atAT&T Stadium in Arlington,Texas, and televised on ESPN.This is the second straight yearthe Spartans will play in theCotton Bowl.

The area players at Michi-gan State are senior offensivelineman Donavon Clark (Fin-neytown), sophomore line-backer Shane Jones (Moeller),sophomore wide receiver TreyKilgore (St. Xavier), freshmanoffensive tackle Noah Lister-mann (Winton Woods), juniorwide receiver Monty Madaris(Moeller) and Heath.

Heath, 22, was named anhonorable mention All-Big Tenplayer by the media this sea-son. He is one of 23 seniors onthe roster.

“Things are going reallywell,” Heath said this week.“The defense is playing at ahigh level.”

Heath, who is 6-foot-6 and293 pounds, has 29 tackles, in-cluding two sacks, a forced

fumble and fumble recovery.Heath is focusing on film studyand said the Spartans must con-trol the line of scrimmageagainst Alabama.

Originally recruited as a de-fensive end, Heath made thetransition to tackle late in 2013.He added 30 pounds of musclethe following summer andmade his first career start inthe 2014 season opener.

Heath was a game captainagainst Nebraska Nov. 7.Heath and Clark, along withConnor Cook and Trevon Pen-dleton were captains for thewin at Ohio State in November.

Heath, the Associated PressOhio Division II Co-DefensivePlayer of the Year as a highschool senior, said his footballIQ has helped him throughoutthis season. Running to the balland stopping the run are hisstrengths.

“My motor is the biggestthing,” Heath said.

Heath graduated early witha degree in interdisciplinarystudies. He has an internshipwith Michigan State Univer-sity Federal Credit Union andlearned a great deal about mon-ey management and helpingothers in the community gain afinancial education.

Heath knows his educationand football experiences willhelp him in the future. And he’senjoyed every bit of time withhis teammates and his multiplebowl game appearances.

But, for now, he wants twomore games in a green uni-form.

“It’s been a blast,” Heathsaid of the season. “It’s gone sofast. It’s been really fun to be apart of this team.”

Many people under-stand those who usetheir personal vehicle todeliver pizzas need tobuy special businessinsurance to protectthem should they getinto an accident while onthe job.’

But, drivers may notrealize that requirementapplies to a lot of othersas well.

Don Hunt, of MountOrab, works for a lum-ber company that sendshim to various job sites

to do in-spections.He useshis ownvehicle toget to thesites. Ear-lier thisyear heran off theroad andwrecked

his truck while going toone of his inspections.

Hunt’s wife Dee says,“He either hit a slickpatch or hydroplaned or

something on I-275 andhe bounced from wall towall and landed right inthe center of I-275.”

Hunt filed a claim forthis one-vehicle acci-dent, but his insurancecompany wouldn’t pay. Itsaid the loss was notcovered because it in-volved, “Impermissiblebusiness, commercial oremployment use.” Aclose look at the policysays his vehicle cannotbe used during thecourse of any business.

Hunt says he has touse his own vehicle be-cause his company won’tprovide one. Dee saysthis came as quite a sur-prise to them becausethere were no companysigns on the side of histruck indicating it wasbeing used as a commer-cial vehicle.

While she had theinsurance adjuster onthe phone she says shedecided to ask about herown situation. Dee saysshe asked, “If I was to

leave my Milfordoffice and go to an officein Eastgate would I becovered from office tooffice? He said, ‘No.’”

Hunt’s insurancecompany issued a state-ment to the Ohio Depart-ment of Insurance say-ing the claim was deniedfor three reasons: be-cause the vehicle wasusually used to visitthree job sites per day,because he transportedtools in his truck, andbecause his employer

provided him a gas cardto use for filling up thetruck.

Bottom line, if youever use your vehicle –even if its just to go fromone office to another –you should talk withyour insurance agent tosee if you too need to addthat special businessrider to your policy.
