A taste of the islands

A new community group hasformed to ensure the Loveland Farm-ers’ Market returns to its downtown lo-cation.

The Friends of the Loveland Farm-ers’ Market has formed in response tothe market not receiving its permit tooperate in the Jackson Street Market,off West Loveland Avenue near the Lit-tle Miami Scenic Bike Trail, for the up-coming season, member Halie Rebec-caschild said.

“On one hand we have this drive to-ward development and need to havehigh traffic in the historic city centerand on the other hand we are tellingthis community market that has somuch goodness around it that it cannotexist,” Rebeccaschild said.

Loveland City Manager Dave Ken-nedy said the city is finding another lo-cation for the Farmers’ Market.

“We are just trying to look for some

alternative locations outside of down-town. We are just mostly concernedabout traffic flow. Branch Hill-GuineaPike will be closing down this year foran extended period this spring. We justworry about the traffic flow on thosedays,” Kennedy said.

The market operated in the down-town from 2011 to 2014. Due to the con-struction of Loveland Station and oth-er projects in the downtown, it wasmoved to the old bowling alley site, 897

Loveland-Madeira Road, for the 2015season. The market is open 3 p.m. to 7p.m. Tuesdays from May to October.

“The market was OK. Foot trafficdropped by 30 percent and vendors’sales dropped from generally 35 to 40percent. It took a big hit,” said DonnaBednar, coordinator of the market.

Streetpops owner Sara Bornick hasbeen a vendor at the market for fiveyears and said she suffered a 70 per-cent drop in sales last year.

“Unfortunately, if the market is notmoved back to the central district wewill not be able to continue to vend withLoveland,” Bornick said in an email.

Bednar said she was told the marketwould have to be out of the downtownfor onlyone year.

“I told them last year it was only forone year and obviously that was myfault. I should have thought throughthis a little further with the construc-tion, the new businesses, the newapartments and Branch Hill-Guinea.Between those factors, I don’t see howit would work back downtown,” Ken-nedy said.

Visitors walk in the Loveland Farmers’Market last year at the old bowling alleysite. The move from historic Lovelandcaused a 30 percent drop in foot traffic.

Even temperatures in the teens can’t de-ter local library patrons.

Afew minutes before the doors fly open,patrons begin lining up outside the DeerPark branch of the Public Library of Cin-cinnati and Hamilton County. Arms loadedwith books, they are eager to return whatthey borrowed and pick up a few newreads. Across town in Anderson Townshipthe scene is the same.

An empty parking lot quickly swells to20 parked cars as the doors are unlocked inthe morning and patrons welcomed inside.

The public library continues to be an in-tegral part of communities in Greater Cin-cinnati.

The word library immediately brings tomind a building full of shelves of books andsmart, bookish people to help you find theone you want. Even the name contains theLatin work for book.

But the library has expanded like a Nar-nian wardrobe in recent years. While thereis still a building filled with books, the uni-verse of services and information forwhich it serves as a gateway is expandingexponentially and at a dizzying speed.

Greg Edwards, deputy director of thePublic Library of Cincinnati and HamiltonCounty says that’s not likely to change. Hislibrary system, the fifth busiest in thecountry, according to the 2015 Public Li-brary Data Service statistical report, hand-

Bednar was the onlymember not reappointedto the Loveland Beautifi-cation Committee, whichresulted in the other sev-en members resigning.Councilman Rob Weisger-ber called it an act of “po-litical payback” on MayorMark Fitzgerald’s partagainst Donna Bednarand her husband, Dave,who was on council whileFitzgerald was the citymanager. Dave Bednarwas not reappointed to theRecreation Commission.Committee members areappointed by the mayorand voted on by council.

The permit for theFarmers’ Market is deter-mined by the city man-ager.

“This is the city man-ager’s decision. It is notsomething I take lightly.but it is my decision. Thatis the way it is struc-tured,” Kennedy said.

Bednar said she is un-sure if the market couldsurvive another year out-side of downtown.

“At the bowling alley,or if we go to another loca-tion, it is a destination.People are coming for the

Members of theFriends of the LovelandFarmers’ Market saidthey feel the market is be-ing singled out by the city.

“The two things thatthe Beautification Com-mittee and the LovelandFarmers’ Market have incommon are Donna (Bed-nar). Certainly, I don’tknow if this is some type

Farmers’ Market and thatis it. They shop and theyleave or they don’t come.When it is in historicLoveland, in addition tostopping at the Farmers’Market they will go to thebike trail, they will go toNisbet Park, they will go

to a restaurant,” Bednarsaid.

Rebeccaschild said themarket is willing to helpalleviate the traffic issueby asking shoppers to useparticular parking lots orhiring a police officer todirect traffic.

“It is four hours once aweek and there are othertimes when you have traf-fic too, I mean every day,”Bednar said.

Bornick said she un-derstands that Lovelandhas a traffic flow problembut agreed that the mar-ket cannot be having thatmuch of an impact.

“After working manymarkets over the yearswe’ve been in operation,I’ve found that many ofthe customers that fre-quent markets spend ashort amount of timethere, gather their freshproduce and productsfrom their favorite ven-dors and then move ontheir way,” she said.

The Friends of theLoveland Farmers’ Mar-ket has been rallying sup-port through its Facebookgroup of the same name.The group is also encour-aging residents in supportof the market to attend theLoveland city councilmeeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday,Feb. 9, at city hall, 120 W.Loveland Ave.

REACTIONSFROM AROUNDLOVELAND

“Donna Bednar andthe rest of the volunteercrew brought somethingunique to Loveland. Iknow Donna chose Tues-day to hold the marketbecause it was the ‘slow-est’ day for parking andtraffic concerns. Sheasked the area businessesand city officials what daywould work best foreveryone.” - Scott Gor-don, owner of The Works.

“I am in support be-cause Donna Bednar hascreated somethingunique for Loveland. Wefeel that the city canunderstand that parkingand traffic has alwaysbeen a concern. But theenergy from the market isa benefit for the wholearea.” - Gaetano Wil-liams, Executive Chef/Proprietor of Tano Bistroand Catering and TakeHome Tano.

We asked readers:How often do you

use your local library -and which branch(es)do you use?

How do you use it -online, in person - andwhat are your favoriteand most-used libraryservices?

How has your locallibrary changed in thelast 5-10-15 years?

What changes do yousee for libraries in thefuture?

Here are some re-sponses:

“My family, whichconsists of two adults andtwo young children, vis-its the library severaltimes a month.

“We live in betweenthe Blue Ash and Madei-ra branches and routine-ly visit both branches.It’s become a specialtreat for the kids to bringtheir empty bags and fillthem with books. Read-ing to our kids is an es-sential and highly enjoy-able part of our bondingtime with them, as wellas their personal devel-opment. We also takeadvantage of a number ofthe children’s problemsat each library.

“In terms of how ourlocal library has changedover the past decade, I’vebeen impressed withtheir ability to contin-ually adapt to meetevolving needs of bothadults and children alike.For example, makingdownloadable e-booksavailable and hostingLego building nights. Onthe flip side, likely due tobudget constraints, thelibrary physical spaceshaven’t appeared tochange all that much in10-plus years.

“One exception to thisbeing the ‘maker space’that has been created atthe main branch of thepublic library, which ourfamily still has yet tovisit.

“In terms of futurechanges, we have had thefortune of visiting boththe Westlake and AvonLake libraries on thewest side of Cleveland.Those libraries, to me,represent the standardsof excellence of what alibrary could be as theyconsist of open, naturallywell lit spaces that in-clude a cafe and, in thecase of Avon Lake, a kidsdiscovery science center.I also expect more librar-ies beyond the Cincinnatimain branch to includemaker spaces.”

Russ Speiller, Montgomery“I use the library ev-

ery week for personaluse and as an educator. Ilive in Loveland and usethe Loveland Branch. Iuse the library online, inperson, and through per-sonal contact with thestaff.

“One of the best keptsecrets is that you can goonline and create anaccount and submit yourfavorite authors. Whenthe author comes outwith a new book,the li-brary will automaticallyplace you on the ‘hold’list and when the book isavailable they will emailyou. I love it – don’t haveworry about placing a

hold every time a newbook comes out. You canalso search for books, forexample my second-grader is addicted to anEllen Miles series. Wewent online and ordereda bunch of ‘Puppy Place’books and the libraryemailed me when theycame in.

“I just recentlylearned how to downloadbooks to my devices.This is another new fea-ture that is great forpeople who only read ondevices.

“As an educator , thestaff at Loveland libraryis the best, especially

Sharon Setney, who isconstantly getting col-lections together for me.All I have to do it emailher titles and she lets meknow when they areready via email.

“I like to go to thelibrary to browse. Everytime I go in, the staffsays hello and alwayschecks to see if there isanything in the back forme. I can’t thank theLoveland branch enoughfor all that they do.

“The library haschanged over the yearsin the check-out process.In the ‘old’ days the staffchecked out all books.

Now they have comput-ers stationed in front ofthe service desk. Thestaff will help and checkout if needed. About twoyears ago, to check out abook, you would scan thebarcode. Now they havecomputer chips in thebooks, and all you have todo is lay the book on thecheckout area and thesensors pick up chip andscan the book. It is reallycool. You can actuallyhave multiple books in apile and they will allautomatically check out.

“Lastly, the LovelandBranch has allowed meto bring my class in, give

them a tour, and sign upall my students withlibrary cards. This hashelped to jump start theirsummer reading pro-gram.”

Stephanie Quehl, Loveland“I have a Clermont

County card and a Hamil-ton County card. Wemoved from the Eastgatearea a few years ago, andI still teach there, sohaving two cards is es-sential. I use the libraryat least six times duringthe school year forTeacher Collections,which I love. Imagine

FEBRUARY 3, 2016 • LOVELAND HERALD • 7ANEWS

I just loved the requestfrom a Northern Kentuckyreader for a Valentine’s Dayrecipe. “My husband keepstalking about his mom’s Swisssteak. All he remembers isthat she pounded salt andpepper into the meat withflour, browned it and thenbaked it with tomatoes. It hadcheese on the top and was hisfavorite. I would like to makethis as a surprise Valentine’s Daydinner for him. If you have a reci-pe that is close, I would reallyappreciate it”, she said.

Well, I not only have arecipe that looks likewhat she wants, I thinkthis one might be whathis mom made.

I also wanted to sharetruffle recipes. Whatbetter way to say“You’re special?” Thereare two recipes: one foradults and one for kids.

Rita Nader Heiken-feld is an herbalist, educator, Jun-gle Jim’s Eastgate culinary profes-sional and author. Find her blogonline at Abouteating.com.

‘I love you’ oven Swiss steak

1-1/2 pounds round steak, 3/4” thick1/4 cup flour1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons ea. salt and pepper1 can stewed tomatoes1/2 cup ea. chopped celery and carrot1/4 cup chopped onion1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce or bit more to taste1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 325.Cut meat into 4 portions. Mix flour, salt and pepper and pound into meat. Set

aside flour that is left. Brown meat in oil or shortening on all sides. Don’t cook it,just brown it. Place meat in shallow baking dish. Blend remaining flour with drip-pings in skillet and add rest of ingredients, except for cheese. Cook, stirring con-stantly, until mixture boils. Pour over meat. Cover tightly and bake for 2 hours oruntil tender. Top with cheese and return to oven for a few minutes to melt cheese.

Elegant chocolate truffles

3 tablespoons light corn syrup3/4 cup whipping cream, unwhipped12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

into very small pieces1 teaspoon vanilla

In a small saucepan combine the corn syrupand heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and add the 12ounces of chocolate. Stir until smooth. Removefrom the heat and add vanilla.

Pour the mixture into a container and place inthe refrigerator for at least 1 hour until firm. Scoopchocolate using small ice cream scoop onto panlined with parchment paper or sprayed foil. Returnto frig until very firm.

Coating:

8 oz. or so high quality melted chocolate,cooled a bit but still liquid enough to dip

Tiny sprinkles/nuts, etc. (opt)Remove the truffles from the refrigerator and

shape into balls by rolling between the palms ofyour hands.

Work quickly since the heat of your handsmakes the chocolate soft. Dip each truffle into thechocolate to coat and place on wire rack for excessto drip off.

Tip: for a quicker and easier truffle omit thechocolate coating and drop the shaped trufflesdirectly into cocoa powder, nuts or coconut.

Oreo truffles

1 pound package of Oreo sandwich cookies, divided (not double stuffed)8 oz. cream cheese, softened1 teaspoon vanilla

Coating:

12 oz. bag semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled a bitbut still liquid enough to dip

Crush 9 of the cookies to fine crumbs in food processor. Set aside. Cookies alsocan be finely crushed in a plastic bag using a rolling pin.

Crush rest of cookies. Place in bowl and add cream cheese and vanilla. Mixuntil well blended. Roll into 1” balls.

Dip in melted chocolate and set on wire rack.Immediately sprinkle with leftover crumbs so that crumbs adhere before

chocolate coating sets up. Refrigerate until firm. Store in refrigerator up to a cou-ple of weeks.

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

It’s that time of year - chocolate and Oreo truffles.

A publication of

Jan. 28 questionWho will be President of the

United States one year fromtoday? Why will he or she havewon?

“One year from today wewill be hailing the almightyand magnificent PresidentTrump. I am not saying I agreewith this choice, but yet againit will be a matter of the major-ity of the population votingagainst the greater evil ratherthan for the best choice. I trulylong for an election where wecan in good conscience vote forthe right candidate with pas-sion and belief that he or she isthe best and correct choice forthe highest office in our soci-ety. Trump simply has toomuch momentum, media pres-ence and too many faithfulfollowers to be stopped. He issaying the things that too manyof us feel need to be said, andwhich the other hopefuls aretoo PC to state. On the cam-paign side he doesn't requirehuge donations and is there-fore beholden to none of thespecial interests. If nothingelse, this election cycle so farhas been good entertainment.”

M.J.F.

“I think it will be Ted Cruz.Most of America will finallywake up and realize that healthcare isn't a right it is a privi-lege, that Christianity is thenational religion, diplomacy isweak and bombing is strongand good, woman should cededecisions about their bodiesand reproductive health to

wealthy, white evangelicalmales, and every citizens dutyis to be armed with an opencarry weapon of his or herchoice.

“I can relate very well to hispopulist story of attendingcommon Ivy League schools,marrying a common GoldmanSach's executive and taking ajob where you grind your placeof employment to a standstill.

“For all these democraticand patriotic reasons I see himcoming out on top next year.”

C.S.

“One year from today, youarrive home excited becauseyou met with your boss todayand he said due to increase inbusiness, he was promotingyou to manage the new em-ployees. A nice raise comeswith the job. The HR managerinforms you your health insur-ance is going down in pricebecause of increased competi-tion.

“Then you think back , a

“Right now Democrat Hilla-ry Clinton and Donald Trumpare the favorites for their par-ties.

I think that voter frus-tration will ‘trump’ Hillary’svery questionable track rec-ord. I hope Trump chooseswisely his VP, cabinet andadvisors.

Jan. 7 questionWhat is the best way to han-

dle the Syrian refugee situation?

“I read the readers repliesabout the potential arrival ofSyrian refugees into the U.S. Ihave a Koran and have read ittwice. Americans do not have a

clue about what an influx ofMuslims into this country willcause!

“The book depicts the ha-tred for all those who have notaccepted Islam. Those who arenot Muslims deserve death.Any Muslim that believes whatthe Koran preaches is a poten-tial threat! The following is areply to a young man who hadan article in the CincinnatiEnquirer He never received itbecause what I perceived asbeing an email address was aFacebook address. I am not onFacebook.

“‘I read your article in thismorning’s Enquirer and thefirst thing that entered mymind was: Have you taken thetime to read the Koran? Askyourself why isn’t the countrybringing in Christian refu-gees? Is it because Obamafavors Muslims because hewas raised as one. Multicultur-alism does not work! AngelaMerkel, Chancellor of Germa-ny, stated as much because ofthe influx of Muslim refugeesinto her country. The masseshave caused assimilation prob-lems.’

“England and France havethe same problems with Mus-lim refugees. Many Muslimslike Christians don’t read theirKorans or Bibles and don’t goto a Mosque or church. Mus-lims that do go to a particularMosque could be radicalized tocommit jihad. Jim Hanson whois a part of counter terrorism(Center for Security Policyexecutive vice president) stat-ed on O’Reilly’s hour that out

of 100 mosques in the U.S. thatwere monitored 80 werepreaching jihad.

“The more Muslims thattake shelter here and becomecitizens will add to the caliph-ate that is the head of thesnake! There will be moremosques and minarets and thecalls to prayers five times aday. Schools will be affectedbig time! And with a liberalsupreme court Sharia lawcould be passed and menwould be able to beat theirwives and all that the bookallows Muslim men to do.Women would be wearing bur-qas in public. Is this what youwant to see in this country?

“If you read the Koran youwill see that it is based on theBiblical old testament. Thenarrative is twisted to bringabout a faith that depicts Jesusas a prophet and not the son ofGod. Christians and Jews de-serve death because they havenot accepted Islam as the onetrue religion. No one knowswho created the words of theKoran. Muhammad was illiter-ate and lived in and out of acave because he probably hadsome mental issues. WouldGod send down Gabriel to givethis man the words that depictdeath to all that don’t believe inIslam? I don’t think so!

“SURA 47 - Muhammad:When ye encounter the in-fidels, strike off their heads tillye have made a great slaughteramong them and of the restmake fast the fetters. Infidels

deserve death!” RAB

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONThere are proposals in the Ohiolegislature to eliminate “pay toplay” fees for school extracurric-ular activities (athletic andnon-athletic). Is this a goodidea? Why or why not?

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

I simply couldn’t stop smil-ing.

From the entry of LovelandHigh School’s Auditorium thatwas decorated with studentart, to the delicate sounds ofLoveland Elementary School’s“Mallet Madness” starting theshow, from our students – allages – describing their Love-land experience to standingbeside our state finalist LadyTigers soccer team on stage,then finally taking my ownseat to watch a performanceby the Loveland Show Choirsworthy of Broadway – I con-tinue to beam.

As the instructional leaderof this great district, I’m just

so proud ofall of ourstudents whocontinue toawe andamaze, and Ithank each ofthose stu-dents and theprofessionalswho workwith them for

making our annual State ofSchools presentation so spe-cial.

The Jan. 21 event was trulyan evening to remember. Stu-dent-centered, it was an invig-orating look at why our fam-ilies – including my own – have

made the decision to raisetheir children here. Lovelandis a destination district – and Iam ready to work tirelesslywith you to ensure it remainsthat way.

During the formal presenta-tion I laid out a plan I’m callingDestination Loveland. In theimmediate future it will focuson three key initiatives: a com-prehensive early childhoodexperience to include deeperinvestment in our preschoolprogram and the potential forall-day kindergarten, an athlet-ic facilities master plan, andexpansion of our Tiger One-to-World device lease-to-ownprogram to include grades

seven through 12 for the up-coming school year. That’scorrect – our students at Love-land Middle School and Love-land High School will eachhave access to a device to en-hance their educational experi-ence.

Excited yet?I hope so, and soon I will be

reaching out to capture yourfeedback. We intend to conductan expansive 18-month com-munity engagement process aswe work to further developplans on how to keep Lovelanda destination school district. Ialso plan to re-establish theBusiness Advisory Council,and form a Student Advisory

Council and Parent and StaffAdvisory Council.

Our goal is to understandthe investments we need tomake today to ensure the fu-ture of our district tomorrow.

That is something that Ihope brings a smile to you.

It is an exciting time to be aTiger. We will be communicat-ing a time line for the commu-nity engagement in the up-coming weeks.

As always, please feel freeto contact me directly with anyspecific questions.

“What breaks your heart?” Iwas at a conference and thespeaker asked this question ofthe audience. In my work, I amaccustomed to asking peoplewhat they are interested in,excited, even passionate about.But this question stopped mecold.

Let me back up. I believethat when we limit our defini-tion of our careers to just whatwe are paid to do, we miss thebiggest picture; the opportuni-ty to engage in the world withour full skill set and with ourcomplete hearts and souls. Ifyou enjoy coaching girls bas-ketball, that is part of who youare and even it if it is purely avolunteer endeavor, it is a partof your unique career set, oryour “big picture.”

Take a minute and ask your-self what your total career is.

What does itinclude, andwhat wouldyou like it tohave moreof? If you arean animallover, andspend anytime or re-sources onanimal-relat-

ed causes, that is part of yourcareer – part of who you are.

I knew I wanted to do some-thing to help dogs, but I alsoknew that was too broad of adesire. When a goal is too bigor too vague, your chances ofreaching it diminish, versusdeveloping concrete, action-able goals. What breaks myheart? When I really thoughtabout that question, I had an“aha” moment.

Senior dogs dumped at shel-ters because they are seniordogs. That breaks my heart topieces.

Now what?I know I can’t volunteer in a

shelter. My emotions would notsurvive and I would live as ablubbering mess. I have tre-mendous respect for those whodo. I give money, I get theword out, I work to connectpeople and resources. I have asmany dogs as I can in myhome. But still, I knew therewas more I could do.

When facing the empty nest,we decided that we wantedmore dogs. I knew the numberwas not 50, but it also wasn’tthree. We built a home on 15acres and attached a seniordoggie recreation room, dogsruns and a fenced-in yard. It isa place for eight senior dogs

who were given up just forbeing old, to live out their daysin comfort and love.

I knew we had done theright thing when we got ourfirst resident: Mitzi. It’s nosecret that the gray muzzledoes not increase yourprospects for being selected byshelter visitors. Maybe it wasmy imagination, but when Iwhispered in her ear that shewas now safe, those tiredbones took a deep breath andher whole body relaxed.

Our world is not lacking inthings to be heartbroken over.It can paralyze us into inactionor just the feeling that we can’tdo anything that matters.There is no right or wronganswer to this question.

I am constantly amazed byour community’s love for ani-mals. Animal lovers are givers

– and so are animals.My Furry Valentine, a non-

profit organization that hostsan annual event to bring peopleand adoptable pets together, isa way that you can get in-volved. To date My Furry Val-entine has found homes fornearly 2,000 shelter pets in thelast five years. My Furry Val-entine, the region’s largestannual animal adoption event,will be held on Saturday andSunday, Feb. 13 and 14, from 11a.m. to 5 p.m. at the SharonvilleConvention Center, 11355 Ches-ter Road, Cincinnati, OH 45246.For more information, visitwww.myfurryvalentine.com.

LOVELAND - With no first-team Eastern Cincinnati Con-ference wrestlers returningand facing a stacked championin Glen Este, this was supposedto be a rebuilding year forLoveland High School.

Someone forgot to tell theTigers, who won the league ti-tle two years ago and are fight-ing with the Trojans onceagain.

“Most of our weight classesare freshmen or sophomores,but they’ve done pretty well,”Loveland coach Chris Switzersaid. “They’ve certainly ex-ceeded my expectations. Nothaving a couple key guys comeback and wrestle this year, Iknew some young guys weregoing to get some opportunitiesto be in the lineup.”

The Tigers have gotten bet-ter every week and have re-corded some big victories.They have defeated one ofKentucky’s finest in Walton-

Verona and they upset GlenEste at the Oak Hills Duals.

“They’re very deep and sen-ior-laden,” Switzer said of theTrojans. “I think we’ve gottenbetter and better and kind ofsurprised them. To be honest, itsurprised me. We just keptplugging away each match.We’re moving in the right di-rection. Hopefully, we keep im-proving by the time we get toleague, sectionals and dis-tricts.”

Senior Conner Homan re-cently picked up his 100th winfor the Tigers. He has alternat-ed between 170 and 182 poundsthis season after wrestling at160 last year. As a junior, hebroke his hand at the leaguemeet, but still wrestled on todistricts, where he just fellshort of making the state meet.

“We’re just trying to figurewhere we’re going to put him atthe end of the year to make thestate tournament,” Switzersaid. “He’s sort of the anchor ofthe team and we appreciate hisleadership.”

Homan currently has thebest record in the ECC at 170pounds and is a year-round par-ticipant.

“He went to Fargo (NorthDakota), which is a big deal forwrestling,” Switzer said. “He’sa ‘mat rat.’ Anytime he can getan opportunity to wrestle, he’sthere trying to make himselfbetter.”

Freshman Richard Mendo-za has also had a successfulyear at 106 pounds and fresh-man Blake Poteet was doingwell at 126 pounds until a bro-ken hand sidelined him. Sopho-more Cade Smeller is among

the ECC leaders at 152 pounds,even though at 6-foot-3, helooks like he may have gottenlost on the way to basketballpractice.

“Were really seeing somegreat improvements withhim,” Switzer said. “Last year,he wasn’t able to wrestle in thepostseason as he tore his ham-string and had to have sur-gery.”

Beyond Smeller, the 160-pound class has been strongwith sophomore Ian Knabe andsenior Nick Bixler. Both have

KENWOOD - From the Iron-man at Walsh Jesuit to the Pow-erade Invitational in Pennsyl-vania to the Catholic Invita-tional Tournament, MoellerHigh School’s wrestling pro-gram has seen the best on thebest mats within a large radiusof Cincinnati.

The plan for coach JamesYonushonis is for the experi-ence to pay dividends at theGreater Catholic League meet,the State Dual tournament andon the road back to the Schot-tenstein Center in Columbus inearly March.

Entering the Regional Dualcompetition, the Crusaderswere healthy.

“It’s that point where theseason begins to wear on peo-ple, but that’s everybody,” Yo-nushonis said. “At most of theweights, we at least have aback-up for guys that arebanged up.”

In duals, their only losseswere close contests with Fa-ther Ryan (Tennessee) in earlyDecember, then a tough loss onSenior Night to Mason in mid-January. The Crusaders re-bounded by winning the CIT afew days later at Elder over 28other teams.

Five Crusaders with stateexperience are back for anoth-er March run. Not surprisingly,the qualifying quintet has beenreliable again.

“Jack Meyer, Jacoby Ward,Joe Hensley, Brett Bryant andJake Thompson have beenpretty consistent,” Yonushonissaid. “Guys like Sam Wycheare coming on and JordanWard, the younger brother ofJacoby.”

Jordan Ward benefits fromhaving an older brother that’sbeen to the state meet and an-other, Joey, who is a two-timestate champion now wrestling

at North Carolina. Yonushonislikes his skill-set and prepara-tion as a freshman competingin the GCL.

Senior Jacoby Ward is hav-ing a successful season at 152after wrestling as a junior at138. He is a three-time stateplacer.

Wyche was a district qualifi-er as a freshman and hascaught the eye of his coachwith his diligence at 182pounds. For those that haven’tfollowed the DNA trail, hisgrandfather has the samename and used to coach theBengals and Buccaneers.

“When you see him in hissinglet, you can see every mus-cle in his body,” Yonushonis

said of young Sam Wyche.“He’s a pretty ripped 182. Hecan just focus on his wrestlingskill and not worry about awhole lot of weight loss.”

At 126 and 132, Yonushoniswould like to see seniors Coop-er Graves and Jaelen Summe-rours make competitivejumps. At 138, sophomore JakeThompson increased his heightover a year’s time, but has kepthis weight.

“He’s working so hard anddoing everything right,” Yo-nushonis said.

The upper weights areMoeller’s strong suit. JuniorBrett Bryant was sixth at thestate meet as a sophomore.From there the scoring has

been reliable going fromWyche to seniors Jack Meyerand Joe Hensley in the “BashBrother” category of 220 and285.

Meyer has accumulatedfootball offers and has made aname for himself in wrestlingcircles around the country.

“He has the same kind of of-fers for wrestling,” Yonusho-nis said. “I know he wants toplay football, but it’s prettyspecial for him to have a lot ofopportunities.”

Meyer is known for enjoy-ing the center stage. The man-tra from here is attitude pluseffort equals results.

SPRINGFIELD TWP. - CamNewton calls him “CaptainAmerica.”

But, before the nation knewLuke Kuechly, he was Cincin-nati’s captain. And in manyways, the 2009 St. Xavier HighSchool graduate remains oneof this city’s proud captainswith or without football padson.

When Kuechly’s feet hit thefield, under the lights of Levi’sStadium in Santa Clara, Calif.,in Super Bowl 50, he’ll not onlybe representing his team and afan base – booming thanks to apair of postseason pick-sixes –but also his family, friends andhometown.

Luke knew it as a little kid. “When they’re little this is

what they dream about doing,”said Luke’s mom, EileenKuechly.

As Carolina mangled Arizo-na, 49-15, in the NFC Champi-onship game Sunday night, Ei-leen heard a story from one ofLuke’s childhood friends, Mat-thew Reilly, who lives andteaches in Charlotte.

“(Matthew) said, ‘WhenLuke and I were 10 years old wewere sitting in my basement …talking about, one day we’regoing to be playing in the SuperBowl,’ and that’s what he’s do-ing for cryin’ out loud,” said Ei-leen.

Luke’s living his dream. St.Xavier’s dream was slightlydifferent, and not realized un-til much later. The Bomberblue community, their dreamwas to have a representativelike Luke.

His uniform’s fashionedwith No. 59 and a very telling“C” – which might as well meanCincinnati, or character, or anyother number of words capa-ble of describing Kuechly.

“It’s pretty simple, Luke is abetter human being than he is afootball player,” said St. Xavi-er coach Steve Specht.

“I think if you really lookedat all the players in the NFLyou are going to find that themajority are tremendous peo-

ple who happen to be giftedfootball players.

“Unfortunately we don’t getto read about all of those peo-ple.”

Specht said we often hearmore about the negative issuesthan the positive.

“I guess that’s what I loveabout Luke; it doesn’t matter ifhe wins a Super Bowl or is vot-ed the defensive MVP, he willstill be the same guy that wantsto give his best and leave theworld a better place than hefound it. That’s the way he isand always will be,” Spechtsaid.

“Winning a Super Bowl ringwould be great for Luke andthe community, but how he car-ries himself is what continuesto make us proud.”

Kuechly is the fourth St. Xgrad to make a Super Bowl ros-ter. Greg Scruggs (class of ’08)was inactive, but on the rosterfor the Seahawks’ last two Su-per Bowl trips. Pat Ross (classof ’01) played for the Seahawkswhen they fell to Pittsburgh inSuper Bowl XLI.

Currently, Rocky Boiman(class of ’98) is the only Bom-ber to play in and win a SuperBowl as a member of the Indi-anapolis Colts in Super BowlXL.

“Anybody who’s worn afootball helmet for 22 years or

22 minutes, every kid hasdreamed of playing in the Su-per Bowl and winning … it’s theultimate reward,” said Boi-man, who added it’s easy to seewhy Luke’s left such an im-pression on this community.

“He’s the perfect embodi-ment of what St. Xavier’s allabout,” said Boiman. “To whomuch is given, much is expect-ed. For him to have that driveand to be as humble as he is anda man of the community. That’swhat it’s all about.”

Eileen also understandswhy Luke is so revered.

“I do get it,” she said. “Butthen, we laugh too cause weknow Luke. We see him athome and he’s still like a kid,too. He’s a thoughtful personand it comes from the peoplehe’s been in contact with.”

On Feb. 7, Luke’s parentsand his brothers, John andHenry, who Eileen describedas ecstatic, will watch Lukeplay linebacker in the SuperBowl. They love watchingLuke play linebacker, but theylove the man he’s become evenmore.

“It has to be the man, be-cause at the end this footballwill be done. What is he gonnabe after that?” said Eileen.

“If he is a good man, a manfor others then I think we did agood job.”

WALNUT HILLS - To capturea third consecutive Eastern Cin-cinnati Conference basketballcrown, Walnut Hills High Schoolcoach Ricardo Hill is taking adifferent approach.

With sharpshooters MaCioTeague and Caleb Tregre gradu-ated, Hill has reached for thesky.

Some of his players might ac-tually be able to touch it.

The Eagles land in Tri-Stategyms this season (long) armedwith a 6-foot-11 freshman, a pairof a 6-foot-6 sophomores and onethat is 6-foot-5. For good mea-sure, there’s a smattering ofplayers in the 6-foot-2 to 6-foot-3range.

If you marvel at layup lines,Walnut Hills may make your jawdrop.

Hill’s men made the initialclimb to the top of the ECC in theearly portion of the schedule un-blemished. They had out-of-con-ference losses to talented teamsfrom Purcell Marian and Elderand survived a few close calls inthe league.

“We’re playing a lot of youngguys and when you’re playingyoung guys, it’s going to be aprocess,” Hills said. “We’re go-ing to mature and get better andbetter.”

Omari Peek, a 6-foot-5 sopho-more, was the team’s third-lead-ing scorer as a freshman a yearago. Cory Davis is an inch taller,as is newcomer DiShon Daniels.Like Peek, they’re only sopho-mores.

“We have a lot of size that youcan’t teach,” Hill acknowledged.“But, they’re young. Whenyou’re playing a senior-ladenteam it kind of offsets that size.”

However, when you can re-place size with more size, it’s aluxury. When you come across a6-foot-11 Nigerian transfer stu-dent, it’s a bonus.

Abba Lawal leads the team inrebounds and blocks. If he wereable to find a vehicle to fit hisframe, he would not be able to le-gally get behind the wheel. La-wal towers six and seven inchesabove most of his taller oppo-nents and probably has neverbeen good at the game of “hide

and seek.”What he does is change shots

and outcomes while allowingHill to institute a defense thatlooks like five continuous wind-mills following the ball.

“He’s one of the toughest kidswe’ve had,” Hill said of Lawal.“He’s only 15-years-old. Heknows the game and he hits freethrows. From where he camefrom, these environments arenothing. He’s not going to be in-timidated. This is a piece of caketo him.”

The mission for Walnut Hillsfrom here is to maintain focus.Two seniors and a junior lead therest of the youngsters in scoring,but only one Eagle, AdamGoines, averages double figures.The rest of the squad comes indroves and on any given night,any of them can be the star.

Hill thinks his team can makea tournament run despite theiryouthful ways.

“We have some pretty goodsenior leadership with D.J. Ben-son and Adam Goines,” Hill said.“Omari Peek (sophomore) hasbeen a true leader this year.”

The next Walnut Hills ECChome game is against TurpinJan. 15. The Eagles held off theSpartans by three in December.After that, they’re at Glen EsteJan. 19 and home with AndersonJan. 22. Walnut scored with twoseconds remaining to beat An-derson in their first tilt.

“Our conference is elevated,”Hill said. “All of the teams in theconference have gotten better.Anytime you can get a road win,we’ll take it.”

had success, but Knabe has wonwrestle-offs of late and hasmore pins. Should the Lovelandlineup be juggled with Homan,that could open a door for Bix-ler.

Linda Hill squealedwith delight when Pax-ton’s Grill managerSandy Russell announcedher Texas-style chili wasthe judges’ No. 1 choiceat their sixth annual chilicook-off Jan. 24 in Love-land.

Contestants lined up13 pots of chili on thetable, championshipplayoff football lit up thebig screens, and patronspacked Paxton’s to cheerfor their favorite teamand their favorite chili.Seven judges – six menand one woman – tastedall of the chili recipescooked up by the 13 reg-istered contestants.When the judges weredone, and their votes alltallied, it was the Dallasnative claiming the winand wearing a great bigTexas-style grin. KenSimpson’s mixed meatchili was second favorite,and Jonathan Ranard’svegetable chili took third

favorite.“I’m from Dallas,” Hill

said. “I think its awesomecause I knocked off theguy who won it threeyears in a row.”

Hill’s winning favoriteTexas chili recipe is allmeat with bacon, countrypork sausage, very leanhamburger, finelychopped onions, a lot ofspices and no beans. Thefirst runner-up KenSimpson calls his recipe“Woods chili” because hisfriends call him “Holly-wood.” He was equallythrilled about knockingoff the previous winnerJohn Osborne.

“I work with JohnOsborne who won it twoyears in a row,” he said.“I live in Monroe. I cameup here to beat him, and Idid.”

Simpson entered hischili in the chili cook-offlast year, but didn’t winit. His chili is a blend ofdifferent meats withdifferent flavors and avariety of chili spices.Over the years, he’s had

about 20 different varia-tions of the recipe tryingit out on friends and fam-ily. This one was new justtwo weeks ago.

“Family and friendsalways say you got goodchili,” Simpson said. “But

when they say this is it, Isaid I got somethinghere. I knew it.”

Though this is the firsttime Jonathan Ranardhas entered any kind ofcompetition, his recipe isnot new. In fact it goes

back to much youngeryears for the husband ofPizazz owner Jan Ranard.It was college days whenhe started making thechili that earned himsecond runner-up honors.

“Second runner-up,

not bad, I guess it’s stillpretty good,” he said. “Ithas meat in it, not toofatty, carrots, peppers,onions, special blend;can’t tell you what it is.Take out the meat andyou can have vegetarianchili.”

Each of the three win-ners received gift cardsfor Paxton’s Grill. They’llalso receive recognitiontheir website and Face-book pages. Once all thejudging was complete,the patrons were able tosample the chili for adonation. Proceeds fromthe customer donationsall go to Loveland In-terFaith Effort FoodPantry.

Oh yeah, the champi-onship playoff footballgames also produced twowinners. The DenverBroncos will now meetthe Carolina Panthers inthe 50th NFL Super Bowlin February.

Now a warning aboutan elaborate scam thattries to convince consum-ers their energy bill isoverdue and needs to bepaid immediately.

Duke Energy says it isaware of this scam, thatit’s shown up in fivestates, and that it’s notunique to Duke since it ishappening to all utilitycompanies through theU.S. and Canada. Howev-er, Duke says, complaintsabout this scam havedoubled in the past year.

In Greater Cincinnatia customer named Stevewrote me to say he re-ceived a phone call at theend of January fromsomeone claiming to befrom Duke Energy.

“They told me theyhave a work order to shutoff the electric to mybusiness. I explained mycase, thinking they werereally Duke representa-tives, stating that my billis current – and Ichecked online that ev-erything was OK, thatpayment was received.”

But, Steve writes,“They went on to say thatit has not been receivedand they will do an in-vestigation but in themeantime a paymentmust be made within onehour or the power will beturned off. I told them Ican give them a paymentover the phone and theysaid it’s too late for that,that I will have to go toCVS and make a paymentof $946.”

Steve says he ques-tioned that amount since

his last billwas onlyfor $547.

“Hesaid it washigher dueto rein-statementfees. Hegave me aphonenumber to

call. I hung up the phoneand decided to call Duke.They said everythingwas fine on the account--and they don’t call any-way. They are lookinginto it,” Steve wrote.

The number Steve wastold to call began with844 which is a toll freenumber not assigned toany particular part of theU.S. After learning thecall was a scam hewrites, “I took it uponmyself to call that 844number and it really doessay Duke Energy with amenu selection. I pressed1 and within two rings Idid get a person that said,‘Thank you for callingDuke Energy. How may Idirect your call?’ This isa very high tech scam,others need to be alert-ed.”

The scammer wastrying to get Steve to putthat $946 payment on aprepaid debit card. Hewould then call thatphone number, to thosepretending to be withDuke, and give them thenumbers on that debitcard. That would allowthe scammers to get the$946 immediately and getaway without a trace.

Duke Energy warns,“Prepaid debit cards arelike cash and the trans-actions cannot be re-versed. If a caller specif-ically asks you to pay byprepaid debit card, this isa red flag.”

Duke Energy says itwill never call and de-mand immediate pay-ment without first send-ing you a notification bymail. In fact, it says itwill send several noti-fications over the courseof several weeks prior toelectric service discon-nection. Duke also says itwill never ask for creditor debit card numbersover the phone.

Duke says some cus-tomers have receivedemails claiming theirenergy bill is past dueand instructs them toclick on a link to paytheir bill. It warns not toclick on the link becausethat could result in avirus being downloadedonto their computer orlead of the theft of theirpersonal information.

Duke says it's workingwith law enforcement totry to stop these tele-marketing fraud rings. Itsays technology makes itvery difficult to tracethese criminals calls andnotes they can be callingfrom anywhere in theworld.
