COLLECTION TIME

Running and helping others are twopassions that drive Mackenzie John-son.

Combining those two passions for acause is driving the 2014 LovelandHigh School grad to run more than4,000 miles from San Francisco, Cali-fornia, to Baltimore, Maryland, thissummer. No she won’t be doing italone. She is one of 30 college studentsparticipating in the “4K for Cancer”run to benefit the Ulman Cancer Fund.

“I’ve always been goal oriented, Ilove running, and I love servicework,” Johnson said about how shedecided to join the “4K for Cancer”run across the country.

Johnson has volunteered with Mat-thew 25: Ministries, Habitat for Hu-manity, and she’s been to Guatemala.In high school she ran cross country,track and played soccer, and workedat Simply Power Yoga. Now a sopho-more at the University of South Caro-lina studying Public Health, she is agroup fitness instructor and coach fora local Girls on the Run Team. Youcould call her a fitness junkie.

“I like helping other people,” shesaid. “I like when it correlates to fit-ness or something physical like that. Iwas looking at programs to do overthe summer.”

Johnson was specifically lookingfor a program which would not re-quire her to spend a lot of money, oreven make money. It did have to pro-vide her an opportunity to serve oth-ers and maybe see the country. The“4K for Cancer” program seemed abetter fit than the road-biking pro-gram Bike-n-Build which she alsoconsidered.

“I was more familiar with the run-ning part of this program,” Johnsonsaid. “The road-biking portion of Bike-n-Build. ... I was like, I don’t know if Ican road-bike across the country.”

Johnson is required to raise a mini-mum $4,500 for the run, but it is morethan donating funds for research.They’ll make personal hands-on con-tact with people receiving the money.She liked that a lot and was acceptedafter a process which included in-terviews. Johnson believes their proc-ess assures they choose qualifiedleaders who will finish.

“We have leg leaders. Each personon our team is a leader for sevendays,” she said. “That seven days isyour responsibility to find food, to find

housing, to make sure you know thatportion of the run. When that timecomes up during the run, you’re incharge.”

The cross country trek is scheduledto take Johnson and the others morethan 4,000 miles across the country in49 days. They’ll depart from CrissyField in San Francisco June 19 andfinish around noon Aug. 6, atop Feder-al Hill in Baltimore. Along the waythey’re required to run 6-16 milesevery day. Each day Johnson will runwith a partner. They stay together theentire day and switch partners everyday.

They’ll do it relay style with thepartners running two-mile segmentswith time to rest in their support vanin between. With 30 college studentssharing three vans, they’ll rotate rest

days and drivers. In the end the 4,000-plus miles will be shared by all therunners. Johnson expects to actuallyrun 500-600 miles.

“We’re going through Lake Tahoe,the Tetons,” Johnson said. “Every fivedays you get to do something awe-some with a hospital or a clinic. I’mworking on being present and notwasting any seconds with the people Imeet; to make it count.”

This is her way to give back to peo-ple who have struggles with cancer.She’s already raised close to $3,000toward the fundraising goal of $4,500.PowerRyde in Loveland had a fund-raising ride for her Jan. 9. Johnsonsaid Casey and Meg Hilmer did nothesitate when she asked.

A little more homework might be in or-der before the Symmes Township Board ofTrustees hires a new administrator.

Phil Beck was the trustee president lastyear when the board unanimously voted todismiss its former administrator, Brian El-liff, who had served the township since2011. The township and administrator ami-cably parted ways last March. The ratio-

nale given at the time forthe dismissal was the needfor the township to move ina different direction.

Since then, per a provi-sion of the Ohio RevisedCode, the board of trusteespresident has served as theinterim administrator.Beck in 2015; Ken Bryantnow. There is no extra pay

given for the task, Fiscal Officer CarolSims said. The compensation provided isstrictly that which trustees receive aselected officials – last year Beck’s pay was$20,568. Elliff’s annual salary was$107,000, she said.

Like most elected officials, Beck is abusy man. He has a wife, three children, isproject executive for the Cincinnati andHamilton County on The Banks projectand is an officer in the United States NavyCivil Engineering Corps. Taking on the du-ties of township administrator, even as aninterim, could have been a tall order if notfor the township’s administrative and pub-lic works staff.

“Symmes Township is blessed with atop-notch administrative and public worksstaff, and their willingness to step up dur-ing this interim period in combination withthe trustees and the fiscal officer doing thesame allows our team to collectively main-tain the day-to-day business of running the

“We were the fastestgrowing county in Ohio in1989 in terms of percent-age,” he said. “Now we’rethe fifth fastest – and I’mOK with that!”

“From the beginning,we’ve governed withvery sound conservativefiscal policies,” Proudsaid. “Not many countieshave a minimum of a 25percent General Fundbalance, which helps us

get through difficulttimes.

“We work hard to con-tinue to be the placewhere people want tolive, work and raise afamily,” he added. “Weare now considered an ur-ban county, but we haveour rural roots – it’s thebest of both worlds.”

Commissioner Proudthanked his fellow com-missioners for helping tomake 2015 a strong year.Commissioner Ed Hum-phrey continues to recov-er from an automobile ac-cident.

township,” Beck said.However, in the absence

of an administrator thetrustees have also realizedthe importance of fillingthis position in the near fu-ture as it is an importantkeystone for the overall or-ganization, he said.

The trustees will likelyadvertise for an administra-tor in 2016, Beck said. Nospecific time line has beenestablished.

“However, we under-stand the importance of do-ing our homework up front,assessing the updated needsof the township, and rewrit-ing the administrator’s jobdescription in advance ofthis effort to ensure thatonce we advertise the posi-tion, we are focused on find-ing the right fit,” Beck said.

It is estimated that 90 million Americanssnore during sleep. While half of these peo-ple are “simple snorers,” the other halfmay have a serious sleep disorder called Ob-structive Sleep Apnea. Dr. Kitzmiller, of Cin-cinnati Dental Sleep Medicine, treats patientsevery day in his Milford office and shares an-swers to the most frequently asked questionshe receives.

Q: What is the difference between snoringand sleep apnea?A: “Snoring is the sound produced duringsleep by the vibration of the soft tissues in theupper airway (nose and throat). Obstructivesleep apnea is a medical condition where thesoft tissues of the throat collapse and blockthe airway during sleep. Most often, sleep ap-nea sufferers are reported to not only snore,but to stop breathing multiple times per hourand wake with a gasp.”

Q: Are there any health risks with sleep ap-nea?A: “Yes. In addition to excessive fatigue, un-treated sleep apnea can contribute to a num-ber of health conditions including high bloodpressure, diabetes, depression, weight gain,and morning headaches. Untreated sleep ap-nea has also been linked to heart attack andstroke.”

Q:How can I find out if it’s more than snoring?A: “Only a physician can diagnose sleep ap-nea. This is done with an overnight sleep test,either in a sleep facility or at home. After acomplimentary health screening in our officewe can guide you to an appropriate physicianfor further evaluation.”

Q:What are treatment options for snoring andsleep apnea?A: “Snoring solutions typically include weightloss and not sleeping on your back. Sleep ap-nea treatments included CPAP devices, OralAppliances, and surgery. In our office we treatour snoring and sleep apnea patients with anoral appliance, an FDA approved medical de-vice that fits over your teeth and holds thelower jaw forward, keeping the airway openwhile you sleep.”

Q: Does medical insurance cover any of thetreatment?A: “We have been very successful in using ourpatient’s medical insurance to cover a portionof the treatment fee. During the complimen-

More than 50 yearshave passed since Rev. Dr.Martin Luther King Jr.first delivered his famous“I Have a Dream” speechduring a civil rightsmarch in Washington,D.C., Aug. 28, 1963. Nearly50 years have passedsince King was gunneddown in Memphis, Ten-nessee, April 4, 1968.

On Sunday, Jan. 17, the18th annual Loveland cel-ebration of the life andlegacy of Martin LutherKing Jr. took place in theLoveland Middle School.The event – free to thepublic – was organized bythe Loveland Initiative.Initiative director TerriRogers started the eventoff with a few words aboutDr. King.

“I have a passion to dothis community service,”she said, “like Dr. Kinghad. It’s important thateverybody come out andcelebrate his legacy. Ihave a passion for it. Thisis why I come out.”

Cami Campbell haslived in Loveland for lessthan three years, butcame out with her son andmeatball stew for otherreasons.

“We would like to bemore involved with thecommunity,” she said.“There is a lot going on inour country right now toconfuse what Dr. Kingsaid. It’s very upsetting.No matter what race or re-ligion people need to re-member what his speechsaid; what it means. Ithink everybody has lostthat. It’s about unity.”

As the mother of a bi-racial son, Campbellthought the country washeaded in the right direc-tion, but now believes thecountry has taken twosteps back since the inci-dent in Missouri. She’sconcerned people haveforgotten unity, becomeselfish in crying out aboutthe abuse of their culture.Her hope is that eventslike this will remind peo-ple to think about whatthey can do together.

Coming together forcommunity was the veryreason 13 year-old Love-land Middle School stu-dent Caleb Nelson said hecame out.

“(I) came out to sup-port my community,” hesaid, and shared his de-scription of who MartinLuther King Jr. was. “Hewas a civil rights leaderwho gave the ‘I have adream’ speech and triedto bring people of all racestogether.”

What was the messageDr. King tried to deliver?Nelson had no hesitationin his response to that orto the question of what Dr.King meant to him per-sonally.

“Equality. Unity,” Nel-son said. He had a specificmessage he hoped othersin attendance would hearand understand and whatMartin Luther King Jr.has meant to him.

“Equality. Unity,” hesaid. “Same two words,equality and unity.”

Emcee Tony Hauseroffered words of welcomeand introductory remarksto the sparse crowd ofabout 100 people. He in-troduced Rev. DarnellLee, who gave the openingprayer and was the key-note spiritual speaker.The evening program alsorecognized Community

Individual Award-win-ners. The choir from theFirst Missionary BaptistChurch and the children’schoir from EpiphanyUnited Methodist Churchperformed.

Kellie Morton broughther 9-year-old daughterFaith to read a poem aspart of the Cool School ini-tiative also run by Rogersand the Loveland Initia-tive. For her celebratingMartin Luther King Jr. isabout the legacy of whathe did for all of American,not just one race or anoth-er, but every member ofour society. In her poem,Faith Morton wrote: ‘I hada dream I can help home-less get clothing, food,and shelter.’

“I came to celebrateMartin Luther King Jr.,”Faith Morton said. “Hestood up for people’srights. Black and whitepeople got to sit togetheron the bus and they got tobe sisters and brothers to-gether.”

After poetry readingsand a potluck buffet styledinner, the Oxford GourdDrum Ensemble and Cin-cinnati Drum & TribalDance group provided en-tertainment. The evening

program closed withprayer by Rev. DarnellLee.

“The message here isunity,” Rogers said. “Allfaiths, all colors, all races;no matter what your raceis it’s important every-body celebrate this. Unity.All races can come togeth-er so we can live together.We all need to come to-gether and love each oth-er as one race.”

Loveland ElementarySchool

» Each month there is anassignment for Loveland Ele-mentary School third-gradestudents in Melissa Prenger andKelly McDonald's classes that isa bit outside the traditional text-book.

The lesson is about compas-sion, and the reach – sometimes– goes clear around the world.

“In August and September we

Loveland High School and ablood cancer survivor, talked tothe classes about the importanceof what they are doing to help.

“I hope that the students con-tinue to practice compassion inevery aspect of their lives foryears and years to come,” Pren-ger said. “I hope that when theyhave the opportunity to showcompassion that they do, andthat they look for ways to helpothers on their own.”

Mount Notre Dame HighSchool

» Mount Notre Dame had theprivilege of hosting a unique andelite workshop designed to pro-vide students with an opportuni-ty to explore career optionsthrough discussions with localfemale leaders.

The Women in LeadershipWorkshop, in partnership withGeneral Electric, was at MNDJan. 14, and featured a variety ofspeakers with backgrounds incommunications, engineering,information technology, man-agement, marketing, medical,military and sales.

In the spirit of MND’s mis-sion to empower young womento learn, live, lead and serve, theworkshop provided a platformfor women in leadership posi-tions to share their professionalexperiences and inspire stu-dents to achieve success. Theevent’s key note speaker wasMelanie Healey, retired grouppresident for Procter & GambleNorth America, who has beenranked one of Forbes’ most pow-erful women in business fivetimes. Healey shared her sevensecrets of success and empha-sized that “success is a matter ofchoice, not chance.”

In addition to P&G, femaleleaders from GE, CincinnatiChildren’s Hospital MedicalCenter, UC Health and Smart-Crowdz participated in roundtable discussions where studentshad the opportunity to ask ques-tions and grow in knowledge.

Junior Kelly Harper (GolfManor) reflected, “I realizedhow lucky we are to live in aworld where there are so manyopportunities for women in allfields and career pathways, andthat there are so many examplesof successful women in leader-ship right here in our communi-ty.”

The Women in LeadershipWorkshop was an event in con-junction with MND’s My ActionPlan. As part of the MAP Pro-gram, students are engaged inexperiences throughout theirfour-year journey that will fos-ter leadership skills and empow-er them in all areas of theirlives.

focused on Backpacks for Hai-ti,” Prenger said. “We collectedmore than 80 new and gentlyused backpacks to send to stu-dents in Haiti. It started becauseone of our students began col-lecting them as an effort to do agood deed for his wolf badge. So,we decided to join in the effortsand contribute to his project tohelp our friends in Haiti.”

That act of kindness grewinto what has become The Com-passion Project. Each month thestudents select a nonprofit tohelp, and the teachers turn theoutreach into real classroomlearning – incorporating mathand language arts lessons withthe giving.

In October the students cre-ated "Socktober" collecting 250plus pairs of new socks, anddonating them to The ShelterHouse of Cincinnati. Read toFeed was the November lesson,with food donations and pro-ceeds going to Loveland’s ownLIFE Food Pantry. In Decemberthe students developed CaringCards - spreading holiday cheerby writing more than 300 holi-day cards and delivering them

to local nursing homes and send-ing them overseas to the troops.

“I believe strongly that it ismy job as a teacher and rolemodel to my students to not onlyteach them the academics thatthey need to be successful, butalso what it means to have goodcharacter,” Prenger said. “Wehave talked in depth about whatit means to be compassionateand how good it can feel to helpothers. Being able to bring posi-tivity to our local, national andeven international communitieshas made us more caring indi-viduals who look out for oneanother.”

This January and February,The Compassion Project hitespecially close to home. Teach-ers are working with the Leuke-mia & Lymphoma Society toraise awareness of blood can-cers. Students will collect coinsand online donations for thatagency. Leah Jordan, a junior at

A taste of the islands

JANUARY 27, 2016 • LOVELAND HERALD • 7ANEWS

I’m a softie when it comes to Mother Na-ture’s orphans. Especially where we live, atthe end of an old country road - and especial-ly during this frigid weather.

For the past several months we’ve beenvisited daily by a gray cat. “She” doesn’thang around the whole day, but we’ve noticedthe mice population in the garage this winteris zero. During Sunday dinner the cat cameto the back kitchen door. The grandkidspeeked out to see. Will asked if she had aname. “No, we just call her cat,” I told him. “Ithink Silky is a good name,” Will said. So Silky it is.

The good thing about the name is its gender neu-tral so we’re safe if “she” turns out to be a “he.” Weusually give dry cat food, but today I gave her a bitof sautéed ground beef when I was making this soup.It’s the first time she allowed me to get close enough

to pet her - her way of saying thanks?

Tip from Rita’s kitchenGruyere is a creamy Swiss cheese worth

the price. Swap it out with Swiss if you needto.

Readers want to knowHow do I steep saffron?This spice is expensive. Place the threads

in a small amount of liquid for 10 minutes orso. The liquid will turn yellow. Add the liquid

to your recipe. Besides boosting flavor, steepingdistributes color more evenly.

Secret ingredient spicy 30-minute beefvegetable soup

I won’t pretend this is a new recipe. I’ve shared it before,but I always get requests to publish it again, particularly duringsoup weather.

So here it is, for Charlie, a Wyoming reader, and thatyoung couple I chatted with after church. I’ve changed therecipe a bit. This soup has a cult following. I’m not surprised.It’s really that good, and really that easy. Can you tell what thesecret ingredient is?

l-1/2 pounds lean ground beef - I used sirloin in the photorecipe

1 heaping cup chopped yellow or white onion, not sweetonion

2 cloves garlic, minced1 jar chunky garden style pasta sauce2 cans low sodium beef brothWater to taste (start with 1 or 2 soup cans of water and

go from there)10 oz. can tomatoes and chilies or 14.5 oz. diced tomatoes

if you don’t want it spicy1 pound or so frozen soup or mixed vegetables, thawed if

you have timeSeveral handfuls any fresh greensCheddar for garnish

Sauté meat, onion and garlic together in pot until meat iscooked. Now add everything else but the greens. Bring to aboil and let simmer for about 30 minutes. Toss in greens andcook until just wilted, about a minute more.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen: A potato masher works wondersto break up the ground beef as it cooks.

Watch Rita! Check out my YouTube channel on my siteAbouteating.com to see me making the soup.

French onion soup with Gruyere croutons

I love this soup. It’s not complicated, just takes some timecaramelizing the onions. I use my food processor to slice them.

4-5 pounds large onions, sliced very thin1/2 to 1 stick butter6 cups low sodium beef broth or chicken broth8 slices French bread, sliced 1/2”, toasted on one side1/2 pound Gruyere, grated

To toast bread: Brush very lightly with olive oil or spraywith olive oil spray. Run under broiler until golden on top, orbake in 400 degree oven.

Cook onions in butter over medium heat, stirring fre-quently, for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Add brothslowly, stirring constantly, until soup comes to a boil. Lower tosimmer, cover and cook 20 minutes. Season to taste. Fill ovenproof bowls with soup. Place slice of bread, toasted sidedown, on top of each. Divide cheese among bread slices. Broiluntil cheese melts.

Nearly two out of everythree adults in our region thinkclimate change from globalwarming is happening, whileonly about half of us think it iscaused by human activity ac-cording to research from YaleUniversity.

These attitudes are strikingwhen you consider thestrength of the science. Be-tween 1991 and 2011, therewere more than 12,000 inde-pendent, scientific and peer-reviewed studies published onclimate change. Just under4,000 of these investigated therole of humans, and, of those, 97percent of the studies conclud-ed that human activity is caus-ing global warming.

There is a time lag between

what we do(burning fossilfuels) andwhen we feelthe effects.The carbon di-oxide alreadyin our air is go-ing to continueto cause warm-ing for decadesto come even ifwe stoppedburning car-bon fuels to-

day. We haven’t stopped; we’readding more greenhouse gas allthe time. yet, no serious actionis being taken.

Only one third of us believeglobal warming will affect uspersonally. We live in a region

with the eighth worse air qual-ity in the nation. We have mer-cury levels in the fish in our riv-er high enough to cause birthdefects if regularly consumed.About one in six children in ourarea suffer asthma. On hotsummer days, high smog levelsmake it hazardous to exerciseand play outdoors. If we canfeel these effects, and the sci-ence tells us the real effects ofglobal warming are growing,we are naïve to think our ownlives, and those of our children,are not going to be harmed. Yet,no serious action is being taken.

The American Psycholog-ical Association has studied andidentified many reasons for in-action, including our belief thatthere is uncertainty as to

whether climate change is oc-curring, mistrust of the scien-tific evidence, denial that hu-man activity is a cause, under-valuing the risks involved, feel-ing that individual actionswould be too small to matter,and most important, ingrainedbehaviors that are hard tochange. Are we going let falsethinking and an unwillingnessto change habit stand in the wayof addressing what John Pep-per, former CEO of P&G, callsas one of the most significantthreats to our civilization?

We are bigger than this. Wecan solve this problem by mov-ing to a non-carbon based ener-gy economy. Encouragingly, arecent USA TODAY/Rock theVote Millennial Poll found that

80 percent of the under-35 gen-eration favors getting seriousabout converting to clean/re-newable energy by 2030. Re-cently in Paris, the world’s lead-ers set in motion many of thebold and scalable actions need-ed. Yet, each of us has a part toplay. Start by learning how youcan personally cut back on useof fossil fuels and take five min-utes to call your member ofCongress to demand his or hersupport.

If enough of us call, repre-sentatives will listen. By work-ing together now, climatechange does not have to defineour future.

Jan. 20 questionWhat do you think of the Wisconsin In-

terscholastic Athletic Association’s deci-sion to ban cheers it deems disrespectfulor taunting toward opposing teams andathletes?

“While it is a great gesture, as longas parents are allowed into the standsat sporting events you will always havedisrespectful taunting or jeering to-wards opposing teams and athletes.”

C.S.

“Shame it has even come to this.Sports used to include sportsmanship,not taunting and ridicule. Lose withgrace and win with even more grace.Not today. Now it has to be written intorules.”

C.G.

“Tell Wisconsin to get a life.”M.A.M.

“The Wisconsin Interscholastic banon certain high school cheers is a bitfrivolous. In this age of politically cor-rectness it does fit the new line of‘thinking.’ To me a high school shouldpolice their students and foul languageshould not be allowed. I think the Wis-consin move is a bit over the top; be-sides the clever cheers are mostlydone in college. Go figure!”

Jan. 13 questionWhat changes, if any, would you make

to the primary system for choosing presi-dential candidates?

“In the past few years many states(including Ohio) have altered the tim-ing of their primaries to make them

more meaningful. With that in mindother states will alter theirs when andif needed. Some states like to be at thefront end and early, other prefer to belater with fewer candidates. The abun-dance of debates on all subjects has ex-posed the potential candidates togreater scrutiny than in the past. I donot see any reason to change the pri-mary process as it seems to evolve onits own. I look forward to a potential se-ries of showdown debates this fall be-tween Donald Trump and Hillary Clin-ton. That show could top the SuperBowl for a viewing audience. Go Fig-ure!”

T.D.T.

Jan. 6 questionWhat is the best way to handle the

Syrian refugee situation?

“I have not heard any explanation ofwhere these refugees would be housedduring the up-to-two year vetting proc-

ess. Then, in addition to the basicallytotal lack of history on these peopleavailable from within Syria, any pre-sumed vetting by our over-sized gov-ernment departments that have re-peatedly proved to be pretty incompe-tent, entry by these people into the U.S.would be a risky proposition for ourown innocents and targeted groups.One radical Islamist among themcould be released among us to act onhis or her own to commit a terrorist acton our soil; or to radicalize discontentsalready here who gained entry legallyor illegally or who were actually bornhere. Surely locating a portion of landclose to Syria and offering help in theway of security and supplies would bemore cost and security effective. Itmight well be the more acceptable so-lution for the majority of the refugeefamilies themselves, not having to beseparated by such a distance fromtheir homeland and way of life.”

Reducing energy consumptionaround your home is an important wayto go green and it could save you mon-ey. You can reduce your utility costs bybeing more conscious of your energychoices around your home. Here are afew simple ways to reduce costs andenergy:

UnplugElectronics like computers, TVs

and cell phones will drain power evenwhen they’re turned off or fullycharged. The U.S. Department of Ener-gy says 75 percent of electricity used topower home electronics is consumedwhile products are turned off. Save en-ergy by making sure you totally cut offpower to your gadgets when they’renot in use. Either routinely unplug de-vices from the wall or purchase powercords that can be switched on and off tocut off multiple power sources at once.

Wash wisely Your dishwasher

and clothes washerand dryer are twohuge sources of ener-

gy depletion in your home. Wash wiselyby using cold water whenever possible,and make sure you gather a full load oflaundry or dishes before washing tomaximize each usage.

Don’t forget to clean your lint filterafter drying your clothes – a clean fil-ter improves air circulation. Be con-scious of how much you prewash yourdishes; scraping off food, rather thanrinsing is sufficient. Also let your dish-es air dry.

Cook consciouslyIf you’re cooking for one or two, con-

sider investing in smaller appliances,such as a toaster oven. A toaster overcan use one third to half as much ener-

gy as a full-sized oven, according to theU.S. Department of Energy.

Remember to keep range-top burn-ers and reflectors clean. This will helpreflect the heat more efficiently, andwill save you energy.

Be sure to cover your pots whenboiling or heating liquids. Not only willit get the job done more quickly, butyou’ll be reducing your energy output.

Do daylightDaylighting is the use of windows

and skylights to bring sunlight intoyour home. Incorporate daylighting inthe home to reduce the need for artifi-cial lighting during daylight hours.

LOVELAND - Both Loveland HighSchool bowling teams are chasing GlenEste and Anderson in the Eastern Cin-cinnati Conference, but each team hasdone their share of pin-crashing andseen some bright spots.

In his second year with the boysteam, Steve Adams has seen the Tigersbeat Withrow twice, bowl competitive-ly with Glen Este and lost by just 13 pinsto traditional bowling power Deer Park.

Senior Chris McDowell is also com-ing off an impressive outing in the ECC/Southwest Ohio Conference Challengewhere he rolled a 703 series (214, 266,223). He leads the Tigers with a 187 av-erage, followed by junior Aaron Autinat 182.

“McDowell was named to the confer-ence tournament team,” Adams said.“That was his first 700 series. AaronAutin has also had a nice season.They’re my top two guys.”

Loveland’s three, four and five bow-lers are Wyatt French, Aidan Shumakerand Ethan Bell with averages in the150s. A year ago, Adams inherited ateam with no returning starters.

“Our record may not reflect it, butall of our average are up from lastyear,” Adams said. “Our totals are upand are Bakers are up. The time theguys are spending in the offseason isreally paying off.”

The Lady Tigers led by first-yearcoach Drena Campbell have defeatedKings, Withrow and Amelia and also aclose game with Deer Park.

Returning state qualifier Taylar

Hayden was averaging 189 at presstimewith a high game of 224 and a high two-game series of 423. Hayden was sec-tional champ a year ago and had theunique distinction of rolling at WayneWebb’s Columbus Bowl in the statetournament along with her Moellerboyfriend, David Schneider.

While her 584 (three-game) series atthe ECC/SWOC didn’t match last year’sdynamic 746 effort, she still is one ofthe top bowlers in the conference.

KENWOOD - At many schools, aswimmer on the level of CooperHodge would be recognized as theproverbial “big man on campus”.

At Moeller High School, whereevery other locker seemingly belongsto a standout athlete or resident ge-nius, it’s easy to get lost in the shuffle.However, the wet-haired Hodge ismaking a name for himself on Mont-gomery Road by winning titles andsetting records.

“I think it receives a healthyamount of notice,” Hodge said. “Foot-ball does get a lot of the press, buteveryone does get excited for thewinter sports of basketball, wrestlingand swimming.”

In the recent Southwest OhioCoaches Classic meet, the seniormatched a feat he accomplished oncebefore as a sophomore by winningthree events. Hodge won the 100 back-stroke and 200 and 400 individualmedley races, setting meet records.

“This year I broke three of therecords, so I was happier with theperformance,” Hodge said. “I don’treally have the records in mind, butthey’re nice to see and try to go after.”

A first-team Greater CatholicLeague-South performer a year ago,Hodge would like to see the Crusaderssnare another second-place Division Istate finish. As with every season formore than 50 years, the Crusaderschase perennial swimming power-house St. Xavier.

“Our team goals are extremely highthis year,” Hodge said. “Shooting foranother second-place finish would be areally good end to the season.”

Hodge would like to fare well inCanton at the state meet, but his ulti-mate goal will actually be several

miles south the following week inClearwater, Florida, at the JuniorNational meet. Before he gets in-volved in the University of Wiscon-sin’s program, he’d like to have a runat the national stage.

“This year being an Olympic year,it’s a bit more demanding with Olym-pic trials in June,” Hodge said. “Doingwell at the meet is a huge priority. It’snot optimal to not focus on high schoolswimming, but it kind of has to bedone. That meet in Florida is a qualify-ing meet.”

Hodge has been swimming sinceage 5 and also played basketball andbaseball until his junior high years.He’s since been a full-time swimmer,training with the Mason Manta Rays.

His decision to swim in the Big 10 forWisconsin was fairly easy.

“I like the cold; it’s not going to be aproblem,” Hodge said. “It was reallythe town that sold me. Also, the coach-ing staff and team are focused onbecoming a top five program. Rightnow, they’re 12th or 13th.”

Moeller swims at GCL Senior Nightat St. Xavier Jan. 28, then againstMadeira on Jan. 29. They have a quadmeet at Mason Jan. 30, then the GCLChampionships at St. Xavier Feb. 3.Those fortunate to advance will makethe state meet Feb. 26-27.

Moeller wrestlers pindown another tourney title

PRICE HILL - Moellerand Elder turned the 55thCatholic InvitationalTournament into theirown battle for much of theannual wrestling event atElder’s Memorial Field-house before Moellerpulled away to win with ascore of 249.

Elder, which led by apoint with only a few fi-nals matches to go, settledfor second place with 232points. Third-place Men-tor Lake Catholic was wellbehind the local powerswith 194.5 points. St. Xavi-er was the only other localteam in the top 10 with aneighth-place score of 91.5.

Moeller, ranked No. 1inthe latest Enquirer Divi-sion I coaches’ poll, got in-dividual wins by JakeThompson at 138 pounds,Jacoby Ward at 152, JackMeyer at 220 and Joe Hen-sley at 285.

Elder got wins by Rob-by Oswald at 160 and Ti’R-ic Evans at 170. Thefourth-ranked Panthersled Moeller 228-227 afterEvans’ win, but Meyer putthe Crusaders ahead forgood with a 14-1 major de-cision over ColumbusBishop Hartley’s JaredCroswell.

It was Meyer’s 100thvarsity win.

“It’s awesome,” Meyersaid of his win. “I thoughtI did pretty well. Right offthe bat, I got a prettyquick takedown. I justkept working my tail off. Icouldn’t really get anygood pin combos, so I justracked up the score.”

The major decisionearned an extra point.Meyer knew he could geteven another point for histeam with a tech fall if he

won by 15.“I wanted to get that

tech fall, but I justcouldn’t get any goodshots in at the end,” Mey-er said. “For a while therewe were only beating El-der by point-five, andthat’s just from a tech fallgetting us an extra point.So that major was a bigdeal.”

Earlier in the session,Ward scored a major deci-sion in his 10-2 win overToledo Central Catholic’sRichard Jackson in the fi-nal of the 152-poundbracket. Ward built a 7-0lead early in the secondperiod and scored twopoints as the final secondsticked off in the final peri-od, despite a jammedthumb. Ward knew aboutthe extra point available.

“I was aware of it, but Icouldn’t really squeezemy right hand,” Wardsaid. “I couldn’t reallysqueeze with my thumbbecause I jammed it. So Ijust had to play it safe andonly take my shots when Ihad them.”

Ward crossed offsomewhat of a bucket-listitem with the win.

“I hadn’t won a CITyet,” Ward said. “I wassecond last year and lostin overtime to the eventu-al state champ. So I want-ed to win this at least once.I went out there with thedetermination to win it.After I got that take down,I felt confident.”

Oswald and Evans fol-lowed Ward’s win withback-to-back wins to pro-pel the Panthers into thelead. Oswald outlastedHartley’s Zach Bowman7-4 at 160 after building abig lead and held on with asore leg. The match had tobe stopped for a few min-utes during the second pe-riod while trainers and adoctor tended to Oswald.

“He was bending myleg up and then he startedbending it to the left, so itwas just bending thewrong way,” Oswald said.“Initially the pain waspretty great, but when(the doctor) was moving itaround, it started to feel a

lot better. When I stoodup, it really started to feelbetter. About 20 secondsinto the third, I started tofeel normal again.”

Oswald didn’t expectan easy match.

“I really wanted toslow him down and takeshots when I needed totake shots,” Oswald said.“I didn’t want to be divingat shots because I knew hehad pretty good defense.”

Evans also expected atough match with Padua’sEric Fasnacht, but the El-der 170-pounder held onfor a 3-2 win.

“I went into the matchthinking about how he hadthe experience becausehe placed higher than meat Brecksville,” Evanssaid. “But my uncle Orlan-do Scales and Coach (Ja-son) Roush told me whatto do. They said to staylow and stay in good posi-tion and you will have thismatch. I always believewhat they say to me. In mymind, I knew I could doit.”

Jake Thompson earnedthe first title of the day forMoeller with a 3-0 winover Mentor Lake Catho-lic’s Luke McKeon.Thompson took and 1-0lead early in the secondperiod and clung to thatadvantage until scoringtwo late points in thethird.

“I knew coming in thatit was going to be a closematch,” Thompson said.“It can be stressful, butyou know all season longyou’ve been preparing forthis. So I was ready for it.”

Hensley closed out thetitles for Moeller when hepinned Trinity’s CharlieDraucker early in the sec-ond period.

SYCAMORE TWP. -Entering this season, hisfirst at the helm ofCHCA, coach SteveRowland brought bigchanges. It was a differ-ent style than the one theplayers had grown ac-customed to.

It took a few gamesfor the girls to braindump everything theyhad learned, especiallythe seniors. To top it off,the team had about amonth off in the middleof the season with theholiday break and theschool’s Winter Inter-cession opportunities.Their record, in the be-ginning, suffered.

“That whole monthleft me scratching myhead as to how we weregoing to handle it,” Row-land said. “In our firstgame back, we threw upall over ourselves. Then,we turned right aroundagainst Dayton Chris-tian and played one ofthe best games we’veplayed all year. It was amatter of getting theirhands back on the ball.”

The win against theWarriors was part of astretch where the Ea-gles won six of their lastseven games. The de-fense only allowed 30 ormore points twice.

The offense, whicheclipsed the 50-pointmark twice in thatstretch, is steadily im-proving. Rowland said itwas around the fifth orsixth game when theteam started to buy intothe new schemes.

“It wasn’t easy forthem,” he said. “We’recreatures of habit and itwas tough for a few ofthem to let go of whatthey had learned. Theyfinally all bought in andare starting to playmuch better.”

The coach added thathis team can’t stay com-placent with how thingsare going right now.He’d still like the of-fense to be more in sync,turn the ball over 10times or less instead ofthe normal 20 and shootabout 40 percent fromthe floor.

The team was at 32.8percent as of Jan. 22.

“We have three bigconference games com-ing up this week and wehave to get a little moresynergy in the offensewe run,” Rowland said.“Those are things we areestablishing as base-lines of where we wantto get to. The numbershave gone up. That’s thetrend we want to see.”

REAL ESTATETRANSFERS

According to theAmerican Academy ofOrthopaedic Surgeons,emergency departmentstreated 28,000 people forinjuries related to snowshoveling in 2013.

You could burn up to600 calories per hourwhile shoveling snow.That’s a workout and aswith any kind of work-out, be sure that you’reexercising safely.

Mercy Health re-minds you that you canease the stress and strainof shoveling if you:

Dress for success» Layer with light,

water-repellent clothesthat allow ventilation

and insulation.» Wear sturdy boots

with slip-resistant soles.» Wear gloves that

keep hands warm, dryand blister-free.

» Keep your head cov-ered; avoid hats orscarves blocking vision.

Warm up» Gentle stretching

and jogging in place willloosen up cold muscles.

Buy the right tools» Shovels with a con-

toured handle reducebending and lifting.

» Don’t use a shovelthat’s too long or heavy.

Use proper tech-nique

» Push snow instead

of lifting it.» If you must lift,

bend knees and lift withyour legs, not your back.

» Grip the shovel withone hand close to theblade, one on the handle.

» Avoid twisting/throwing over shovel.

» Keep your shovelloads light, removingonly a few inches at atime off the top of deep,heavy snow.

Pace yourself» Drink lots of water.» Take breaks often.» Listen to your body

and seek emergencycare if you’re experienc-ing chest pain or short-ness of breath.

Prepare before shoveling snow
