As the weather warms, biketrails among local communitiesbegin to crowd. Imagine a se-ries of extensions that wouldconnect the trails, allowing lo-cal residents to enjoy the path-ways, and provide an opportuni-ty to safely pedal to work.

That’s a goal of ConnectiveActive Communities Coalition,part of the Green Umbrella alli-ance, as the CACC works to ob-tain grant funding to createtrails that would stretch fromWinton Woods to Glenwood Gar-dens to Sharon Woods. Ulti-mately, the bike trail would total175 miles, from downtown to theGreat Miami River trail leadingto Dayton.

Wade Johnston, regionaltrails coordinator with GreenUmbrella, said the hope is to re-ceive funding from the OhioKentucky Indiana RegionalCouncil of Governments. If suc-cessful, funds would be award-ed in 2020.

It’s an effort that would ex-pand the bike trail to includetransportation as well as recre-ation, Johnston said, and wouldprovide economic benefit to thecommunities it connects.

“We’re trying to get morepeople to ride for transporta-tion and recreation, so we havehealthier people and they canfeel safe when riding theirbikes,” Johnston said. “There isa perception of a barrier of safe-ty, and having a separated pathlets people feel safe.

“It’s also been shown nation-wide that property value in-creases. People are willing topay more to live near the trail.”

That would solve anotherbarrier to cycling, Johnstonsaid.

“It’s more convenient to ridea short distance to get to thetrail,” he said. “We’re trying tohave trails touch more commu-nities so it’s more accessible tothe people.”

Johnston said increased ex-posure would also benefit busi-ness districts.

“We think the trail couldbring more traffic to thoseareas,” he said.

Johnston pointed to the LittleMiami Scenic Bike Trail inLoveland as a model. Althoughit is not owned or maintained bythe city, it is commonly known

as the Loveland Bike Trail.“The fact that the trail dis-

sects our downtown businessdistrict offers additional pa-trons to our business beyondthose that travel into town via

automobiles. The trail ac-counts for over 100,000visitors along the Love-land portion of the trail,”City Manager Dave Ken-nedy said.

Multiple improve-ments are coming to thetrail in 2016. The Ohio De-partment of Natural Re-sources and the Friendsof the Little Miami StatePark are resurfacing andremarking parts of thetrail within the city ofLoveland.

The city is building the125-spot McCoy ParkingArea, which connects di-rectly to the bike trial.

The city of Lovelandhas a trail in the EastLoveland Nature Pre-serve. The city recentlybuilt a walking bridgeover to the preserve tomake it easier to get tofrom East Loveland Ave-nue.

Kennedy said cyclingand the bike trail are animportant part of theLoveland community.

“Given the businessesin downtown Loveland, itis a great destination forboth bikers and walkers,”he said. “The trail passes

by Nisbet Park which is agreat stopping place andincludes public rest-rooms. Our local busi-nesses are very welcom-ing to the bikers and walk-ers that utilize the trail.The bike trail has been aselling point for the devel-opers of Loveland Sta-tion.”

Cyclists in Wyomingcan enjoy the scenicwooded path along theMill Creek to ride to thecity’s recreation center,and on to Woodlawn.Those combined trailsprovide access to Glen-wood Gardens, which ispart of the CACC plan.

You need to check out The Christ HospitalPelvic Floor Center. It’s a one-stop shop for pelvic floordisorders, with the best doctors andmost advanced treatmentoptions in the region. Stop coping with your symptoms andstart talking about them. The Christ Hospital—they’re herefor your pursuit.

By Mickey Karram, MD, The Christ Hospital Health Network

Don’t just keepon keeping on!

Age and childbirth take their tollon a woman’s body. But problemswith bowel and bladder control (andsex!) from a weakened pelvic floorare often fixable.

Women tend to put themselveslast. And cope. And not complain.But some personal problems, likesexual discomfort and accidentalbladder and bowel leakage, arereally troublesome. The painful em-barrassment these symptoms causewon’t go away on its own. Luckily,help for these common pelvic floorailments is at hand.

What is the pelvic floor?The pelvis is the ring of bones at-

tached to your legs at the hips. Thisring forms a basin that supports therest of your body. The pelvic flooris the sling of muscles, ligaments,connective tissues and nerves thatcovers the bottom of the basin. Thissling holds up organs in the pelvissuch as the bladder, rectum, uterus(womb) and vagina. Besides keepingthem in place, the pelvic floor helpsorgans work appropriately. In otherwords, it controls bladder and bowelfunction, keeps the organs in theirproper place and allows women tohave enjoyable intercourse.

How do I know if I havea pelvic floor problem?

Just as elastic wears out overtime, the pelvic floor muscles canbecome weak and the ligaments andother tissues can be stretched ordamaged. Extra strain in this areaincreases the chance of developinga problem. Past pregnancies withvaginal delivery, obesity, chroniccoughing, heavy lifting or strainingduring bowel movements increasethe risk. Aging and decreasedestrogen levels, as from menopauseor certain cancer treatments, alsoadd to the risk. So can any medicalcondition that affects the nerves, orsurgery or radiation in the pelvicarea. Almost 30 percent of wom-en — and some men, too — will, atsome time in their lives, develop apelvic floor disorder.

Problems with the pelvic floorcan lead to many symptoms. A fre-quent complaint is bowel or bladdercontrol problems. Muscle weaknessand/or nerve damage in this areacan cause urine leakage or inconti-nence, overactive bladder, bladderpain or frequent bladder infections.It can also cause incontinence ofstool, chronic constipation or diffi-culty evacuating your bowels.

In addition, some patients suf-fer from pelvic organ prolapse.Prolapse means that organs, suchas the bladder, rectum, uterus orvagina, are not well supported andsink lower than they should. Even-tually they can protrude outside thevaginal opening. If a woman lives tobe 80 years old, she has an 11 per-cent chance of having an operationfor prolapse. Other common prob-lems include pelvic pain, painfulintercourse and a variety of thingsthat can contribute to female sexualdysfunction.

What treatment optionsare there?

Many treatment options exist.These are tailored for each indi-vidual patient after initial testing.Therapy often combines approach-es. Simply educating a patient onher condition or making simplechanges in behavior sometimesdoes the trick. Nutritional counsel-ing can also help a patient avoidcertain foods that may worsen hisor her condition, or eat a high-fiberdiet to help soften stool.

Sometimes physical therapy andbiofeedback are used. These treat-ments can help patients learn to

identify, strengthen and relax theirpelvic muscles in order to improvebladder and bowel function, anddecrease pelvic pain. Medicationsare used to treat pelvic floor dis-orders such as overactive bladder,the thinning of tissues in the genitalarea and certain pain syndromes.

Another available treatmentoption is a pessary. A pessary is asmall plastic or silicone medicaldevice inserted into the vaginaor rectum. This device can helpsupport the pelvic organs and keepthem from falling out of place (pro-lapsing). Surgery may be recom-mended if symptoms persist afterother less-invasive options havebeen tried. Most surgical optionsare minimally invasive. This kindof surgery is generally less painful,with less scarring and a quickerrecovery than standard surgery.

Loveland EarlyChildhood Center

» First-grade students at LovelandEarly Childhood Center enjoyed aunique story time experience when thebook author was also the presenter.

Award-winning children’s book au-thor and illustrator Susan Katz present-ed an interactive lesson.

“We are pleased to be able to providethese unique learning opportunities forour students,” Principal Kyle Bushsaid. “What an experience for our stu-dents to interact with an author of thiscaliber – my hope is that they feel in-spired to use their own creativity andcan see the writing process in actionwhile here at LECC and in futureyears.”

In addition to working as a bookauthor, Katz is also a seasoned, bilin-gual, National Board Certified Teacher.She has four books, and has been pub-lished by Scholastic and RandomHouse.

Loveland Elementary School» Loveland Elementary School third-

grade students helped make HamiltonCounty a bit “greener” by taking homeand planting Northern Red Oak seed-lings just before Earth Day.

The students are part of a largercounty-wide initiative being offered toall third-grade students to plant 10,000trees.

“In order for our third-graders toparticipate, we needed about 360 seed-lings,” teacher Cindy Rack said. “Thehistory behind this initiative is interest-ing, and it supports what third-gradersneed to understand and learn aboutrenewable natural resources, and howto be a good citizen in their communi-ty.”

What a wonderful opportunity to joinother students across the Cincinnati-area to experience this first-hand.”

Rack said the initiative was spear-headed by Taking Root – a local organi-zation – and the generosity of a privatedonor. According to Taking Root, Cin-cinnati is one of the “greenest” cities inthe United States and that is in part dueto the public school system. The histo-ry, according to Taking Root, is that inthe mid 1800s Cincinnati was 95 percentdeforested. In 1882, superintendent ofCincinnati Public Schools John Peasleeclosed the schools so the children couldparticipate in the seventh annual ArborDay celebration. They planted trees inan abandoned vineyard that we nowknow as Eden Park. Thirty years later

those children, now the city’s leader-ship, found the political will to plant 1million trees on the West Side of townin what is now Mount Airy Forest.

Today, Cincinnati is 39 percent cano-py cover.

“Learning needs to be real and rele-vant in order to be effective,” Racksaid. “Hopefully taking ownership fortheir own tree will spark a sense ofstewardship for our regions valuablenatural resources.”

MAY 4, 2016 • LOVELAND HERALD • 7ANEWS

I have to chuckle at the photo I’msharing today. Not a usual photo offood, but one that relates to food atits source.

It’s two of my grandchildren andtheir friend, Baxter. You’ll see Em-erson leading, Baxter behind andlittle Ellery last.

Their destination was supposedto be the green onion row wherethey were to pick onions for theCinco de Mayo spread recipe thatI’m sharing today.

Well, they spied the mulch pileand decided that was more fun thanpicking onions. I caught them walk-ing through the tilled garden ontheir way to the mulch.

I’ve also been to Emerson’sschool, along with two of my othergrandchildren, Eva and Jack, tocelebrate Earth Day and love thatthey are so interested in what Moth-er Nature has to offer.

I told the teachers Iwould share tips forherbs gardens, soalong with the recipesfor celebrating Cincode Mayo and DerbyDay, here’s good in-formation on herbgardening.

Tips on starting anherb garden

Herbs don’t require a lot of tend-ing. Good soil, watering until they’reestablished and good drainage isessential. If you grow in containers,know that you’ll have to water andfertilize a bit more.

Don’t over water or over fertil-ize, as you’ll wind up with lushgrowth but the volatile oils thatflavor the herbs won’t develop.

What herbs to grow?Think about the foods you like to

eat.Cook’s garden could include pars-

ley, basil, rosemary, sage, thymeand oregano.

Pizza garden. Try a grape orcherry tomato plant surrounded byoregano or marjoram, basil, rose-mary and thyme.

Tea garden could have mint,rosemary, stevia, chamomile, lemonverbena, thyme and sage. There areendless variations, and I have moreinformation on my website: aboutea-ting.com.

Get the details: my video on con-tainer gardening: It’s on my websiteAbouteating.com

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herb-alist, educator, Jungle Jim’s East-gate culinary professional and au-thor. Find her blog online atAbouteating.com. Email her [email protected] with“Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line.

Derby Day mini hot browns

I’ve shared the Brown Hotel’s authentic hotbrown sandwich before for Derby Day. Here’s anappetizer version.

1/4 cup chicken broth3 tablespoons butter2 tablespoons flour3/4 cup half & half1 cup cheddar or Swiss or combo of both 18 slices snack rye bread or baguette slices8 oz sliced deli turkeyThinly sliced sweet onion, separated into

rings6 strips cooked and crumbled baconParsley

Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter over medi-um heat and stir in flour until smooth. Stir in creamand broth. Bring to boil and cook for a coupleminutes or until thickened, stirring constantly.Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted.Put bread on baking sheets. Layer each piece withturkey, onion and cheese sauce. Sprinkle withbacon. Bake 10 minutes or until heated through.Sprinkle with parsley.

Cinco de Mayo spread

16 oz refried beans (I like Mexican style)

1/4 cup Picante sauce1-1/2 cups guacamole1/2 cup each sour cream and mayonnaise2-3 tablespoons taco seasoning1 heaping cup shredded Mexican cheese

blend or cheddar2-1/4 oz can ripe olives, sliced and drainedGarnish: Chopped green onions, shredded

lettuce, chopped tomatoes, cheeseChopped fresh cilantro

Combine beans and Picante sauce. Spreadonto shallow platter. Spread with guacamole.Combine sour cream, mayo and taco seasoning andspread over guacamole. Sprinkle with garnishesincluding cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips.

Don’t like cilantro? You’re probably using toomuch. There’s a natural component of cilantro thathas the taste of soap. That’s why folks think cilan-tro tastes like soap when you use too much.

It’s May: Derby Day hot browns, Cinco de Mayo spread

Destination Loveland: Our journey together

ChadHillikerCOLUMNIST

I can’t wait to see the direction we will headin the future on this Destination Lovelandjourney we are traveling together.

April 27 questionWhat local bike and hike

trails do you use? How often doyou use them?

No responses.

April 20 questionShould Ohio consider and

enact laws similar to thoserecently signed into law inNorth Carolina and Mississippiregarding religious freedomand LGBT rights? Why or whynot?

“Absolutely not! LGBTrights have to do with Amer-ican citizen rights not reli-gious rights. I consider my-self very religious. The times

the Jesus socialized with peo-ple his society consideredoutcasts are numerous. Asreligious people, we are calledout to welcome and love our

neighbors (Jesus didn’t put onqualifiers). As Americans, weshould not limit basic humanrights such as feeling com-fortable using a rest room. Ashuman beings, we’re learningmore and more about thegenetic makeup of people,finding that biologically,there’s more a continuum ofgender than just male andfemale. Lastly, I don’t thinkit’s good for us as a state,seeing all the businesses thathave pulled ventures/eventsout, thus hurting those stateseconomically. One citizen’s‘being’ should not affectsomeone’s religious beliefs.

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONDid your high school seniorclass participate in a “seniorprank?” What was the prankand what were the conse-quences?

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

Mixing alcohol and medi-cines can be harmful to yourhealth.

Alcohol, like some medi-cines, can make you sleepy,drowsy, or lightheaded. Drink-ing alcohol while taking medi-cines can intensify these ef-fects, consequently causing

you troubleconcentratingor performingmechanicalskills. Evensmall amountsof alcohol canmake it danger-ous to drive,and when youmix alcoholwith certainmedicines, youput yourself atan even greaterrisk.

The fact is that the dangerdescribed on bottles or pack-ages of medication when itdirects that alcohol should notbe consumed when taking aparticular medication, is realand can have significant healthramifications. According to theNational Institute on Health,National Institute on AlcoholAbuse and Alcoholism, “Mix-ing alcohol with certain medi-cations can cause nausea andvomiting, headaches, drow-siness, fainting, or loss of coor-dination. As a result, a personcan become easily disorientedand/or unsteady and be at a fargreater risk than usual of a falland serious injuries, especiallyamong older adults.

Moreover, older adults tendto be at particularly high riskfor harmful alcohol-medicationinteractions. Aging slows thebody’s ability to break downalcohol, so alcohol remains in aperson’s system longer. Astudy was recently conductedby investigators from theNIAAA revealed that 42 per-cent of the 17,118 surveyedadults who reported recentconsumption of alcohol alsoreported using alcohol-inter-active (AI) prescription medi-cations. However, 78 percentof those 65 years of age orolder reported that they en-gaged in this practice.

Women tend to have a high-er risk for problems than men.Because women’s bodies tend

to have less water than men’s,the alcohol in her bloodstreamtends to reach a higher level.This is because a woman’sbody usually has less waterthan a man’s. Because alcoholmixes with body water, alcoholis more concentrated in a wom-an’s body.

Some medications, that youmay not even suspect as hav-ing a reaction to alcohol, can bebought “over-the-counter” andinclude those used to relievesymptoms relating to cough,cold, sinus and pain. When indoubt, always read the labeland directions on the bottle orpackage to determine anyspecific side effects that mayoccur as a result of taking themedication.

In some cases, alcohol inter-actions may decrease the ef-fectiveness of medications orrender them ineffective, whilein other cases, alcohol inter-actions may make drugs harm-ful or even toxic to the body.According to the website,WebMD, “One of the mostcommon causes of severe liverdamage -- including somecases requiring a liver trans-plant – is a combination of thepain reliever acetaminophen(available over the counter andin some prescription drugs)and alcohol. Other seriousalcohol interactions are associ-ated with over-the-counterantihistamines and herbalremedies such as kava kava,St. John’s wort, chamomile,valerian, and lavender.”

Mixing alcohol and medi-cines puts you at risk for dan-gerous reactions. Protect your-self by avoiding alcohol if youare taking a medication anddon’t know its effect. To learnmore about a medicine andwhether it will interact withalcohol, talk to your pharma-cist or other health care pro-vider. As is true with mosteverything, moderation is keyand know your meds and theirinteractions with alcohol be-fore partaking.

Mixing alcohol andmedicines can be arecipe for danger

James Baker appears to meto be a persons who likes tosay or this case write wordswith little knowledge of whathe speaks, he sounds like theperfect candidate for thepresidency of this great na-tion.

One of the reasons slaveswere brought from the Car-ibbean to what is now the U.S.in 1619 is because there wasnot a work force in the area atthat time, by contrast manyEuropean countries had apopulation base that exceededtheir ability to absorb whichwere either forced or freelystarted to migrate to otherlands. Now let’s review a verycondensed history of theworld as it relates to the Euro-pean countries work force andthe American slavery system.

The British Isles did notneed slaves, its populationprovided very cheap laborwhere working conditionswere in some cases worsethan the American Slaves. Inmany of the isolated mill vil-lages of England and Scotlandworkers labored 12 hours aday living in poor housingprovided by the mills, in manycases the children started towork at five years of age orless, the Irish farmers lived insqualor and did not own theland they worked and therewere over a million peopleworking in service for thewealthy.

“DowntonAbbey” gave aview of whatworking inservice waslike thoughvery rose col-ored glasses.These condi-tions lasted formany until thebeginning ofWWI. We havea hint that thesesame condi-tions existed in

the rest of Europe because ofthe migration of millions ofpeople to this country in the1800’s and the fact that theFrench Revolution was ba-sically a slave revolt.

Now let’s review the Mr.Baker’s statement that theAmerican Revolution wasfought to extend slavery be-cause England was graduallyeliminating slavery. It is truethat Lord Mansfield emanci-pated a slave in 1772 by stat-ing that slavery was not partof English Common Law, how-ever, the English Parliamentpassed the Slavery Trade Actof 1807 which outlawed theslave trade in the empire in1807, the Slavery Abolition Actof 1833 which abolished slav-ery in most of the BritishColonies, but not all, waspassed in 1833.

The American Revolutionwhich was mainly fought in

the central and northern colo-nies ended in 1783, the govern-ment that was formed abol-ished slavery in the NorthwestTerritory in 1787 and by 1789five of the revolting thirteencolonies had abolished slav-ery. Of course the AmericanCivil War began in 1860 andthe slaves were not emanci-pated until 1863 and it is truethat the war was not foughtover slavery but because ofslavery, it was was fought topreserve the union.

My point is not that slaveryis a good institution, it is anevil institution, it hurts boththose that it in slaves andthose that it doesn’t. U.S.Grant in his memoirs statedthat he did not understandwhy non-slave holding south-erns fought for the Confedera-cy, he noticed in many area ofthe south poor whites weretreated by the plantation own-ers worse than their slaves,the slaves provided somethingto their owners whether work-ing the fields, blacksmithingor in their households. Thepoor white, because blacks didthe work thought that it wasbeneath them to do the jobs ofblacks, consequently they didnot do or have anything. May-be that’s why for many south-ern whites it was not a hatredof blacks but a resentment ofblacks.

LOVELAND - On a nightwhen their opponent was de-layed by traffic, a group of guysin Loveland High School uni-forms made good use of theirtime.

The night’s event was volley-ball, a sport not officially recog-nized by the Eastern CincinnatiConference. In an open gymwith 40 free minutes, the Tigersproceeded to run through as-sorted drills and strategies,when many teenage boys mayhave been tempted to turn thewaiting time in to a no-holdsbarred, free-for-all, dodgeballgame.

Instead, Loveland showedrestraint and maturity and wasin peak condition to play. Itshowed some 45 minutes laterwhen the Tigers made quickwork of a Withrow team in itsfirst year.

“This year we have a little bitmore of an athletic team,” Love-land coach Terri Swensen said.“We lost seven seniors last year,but picked up a good senior,some sophomores and a fresh-man. We have a lot more talent,but every year is still a buildingyear.”

Swensen is in her seventhyear with the boys program thatkeeps the gym occupied withmost of the spring sports out-doors. The Tigers have gonefrom just banging a ball aroundpicnic-style, to actual strategiesand formations.

“We have put a lot more workin this year,” Swensen said. “I

have athletic boys and they’redriven to run the plays ratherthan just bump, set, hit the ball.”

Swensen hopes to continuegrowing the program and looksforward to making strides thisseasons and in future seasons.The Tigers had a winning rec-ord going into the last week ofApril and were ranked ahead ofRoger Bacon and McNicholasof the Greater Catholic League-Coed Division.

The GCL-South dominatesthe polls locally with St. Xavier,Elder and Moeller in the topthree positions.

Earlier this season, Lovelandwas able to win a game againstFairfield, something theyhaven’t done in recent years.From the ECC, Milford started aprogram when Loveland didand Withrow and West Cler-mont (Glen Este/Amelia com-bined) are making their initial

serves this season.“We hold our own a little bit

better with the schools our sizeor smaller,” Swensen said. “Atleast this year we’re competi-tive with the GMC schools whoare about twice our size.”

Defensive specialist JoshCarovillano is a four-year play-er for Swensen and fellow sen-iors Drew Austin and PeytonTerry have been playing forthree seasons. Along the way,Swensen added former football

and baseball player Levi Weav-er to the roster and she hassome developing height on thejunior varsity team.

Boys do have college oppor-tunities in volleyball, either onscholarship, club or rec levels.At Loveland, Swensen has beenable to find enough players de-spite the other competitivespring offerings. Equipment-wise, it’s a cheap sport requir-ing nothing but standard issuegym attire.

“Most of them are either soc-cer players and this year I havea good hand full of basketballplayers between the twoteams,” Swensen said of hersquad. “There are some ex-baseball players.”

Like many, the Loveland ladsalso have their own Twitter ac-count run by assistant coachBrian Baugh @LHSBoysVBall.

“I’m not good at that; he is so-cial media,” Swensen said grin-ning.

KENWOOD - Whenever itbegins, the road to HuntingtonPark in Columbus won’t be aseasy as in years past for theMoeller High School baseballteam.

Minus several starters thatmoved on to the college game,the only thing recognizable totheir 2016 opponents has beenthe “M” on their blue caps.

From last year’s Division Istate champions, Alec Graves,Patrick Mullinger and KyleButz saw the most playingtime. Those three are still inthe Moeller mix, but the rest ofthe lineup has featured severalplayers who were getting ju-nior varsity swings last spring.

As a result, though they arestill a team to be reckonedwith, the Crusaders win-lossrecord isn’t striking fear intheir opponents.

“We knew coming into thisyear we would be inexperi-enced offensively,” Held said.“We’re trying to put it all to-gether here to be able to makea strong tournament run. It’sbeen very tough and we’vefaced a lot of good pitching.”

Much of that has come fromthe Greater Catholic League-South which has seen Moeller,La Salle, Elder and St. Xaviertake turns beating one another.Louisville commit Nick Ben-nett has the best stuff on theteam, but has had some rare

misfortune at the hands of theLancers.

“He’s faced La Salle a cou-ple times and they’ve beenready to hit that fastball,” Heldsaid. “We haven’t made a cou-ple of plays behind him. Otherthan that, he’s thrown verywell.”

Bennett still leads theleague in strikeouts, ahead ofteammates Sebastian Fabikand Cameron Junker (NotreDame).

Not picturedare Katie Shaffer, Ellie Vandergriff, Lauren Parker and Claire Fisher.

A pair of Ohio EliteAcademy soccer teamsare sitting very well head-ed into the home-stretch oftheir club seasons.

Both the Ohio Elite U17and U16 girls’ teams arecoming off strong perfor-mances at the Elite ClubsNational League nationalevent in San Diego onApril 1-3. The U17 teamwent 2-0-1 at the event toimprove to 9-1-4 in leagueplay. The U16 squad went1-1-1 in San Diego and im-proved to 7-2-5 on the sea-son. Both performanceskeep the respective teamsin contention to partici-pate in the ECNL’s exclu-sive Champions Leaguetournament in June.

“This is not an event-based situation,” OhioElite Girls’ Director ofCoaching Doug Brackensaid of qualifying for theECNL Champions League.“This is based on a wholeyear. All your games inyour conference, all thenational events, manythings come into play. Toqualify is quite difficult.We’re a good club in theleague – last year they hadan overall club rankingand we finished 25th out of79.”

Ohio Elite competes inthe 79-club, country-wideECNL. The league hasteams in 28 states. Of the79-member clubs, 32teams (in the U15, U16 andU17 age groups) qualifyfor the ECNL ChampionsLeague playoffs – an end-of-season national tourna-ment. This season’s Cham-pions League playoffs willbe in San Diego, over thelast weekend of June. Cur-rently, both the U17s andU16s sit in the top 20 forChampions League quali-fying.

The ECNL is brokendown into seven regionalconferences with OhioElite competing in theOhio Valley Division of theMid-Atlantic Conference.Inside their division, theU16s sit atop the standings

(5-1-2). The U17s currentlyhave the most points in theOhio Valley Division intheir age group. Nationalevents – like the one heldin San Diego earlier thismonth – count toward ateam’s overall league rec-ord for seeding and wildcard qualification into theChampions League play-offs.

Ohio Elite will be host-ing conference games onApril 23 and 24 as well asApril 30 and May 1. Theclub also has anotherECNL national eventscheduled for May 28-30 inZarephath, New Jersey.

“For the 17s our tough-est conference games are

yet to come,” Brackensaid. “We’ve done quitewell in the conference;we’re 6-0-2. We’ve startedwell but our biggest gamesare still in front of us. Oncewe start playing our nextweek in April, we’ll thenhave a month-long periodof time to really determineour fate.”

June 4 is the final gameof the season for OhioElite. It is possible theycan qualify for the Cham-pions League before thatdate but, as Brackenstates, they will know forcertain where they standafter that last game of theseason.

BLUE ASH - UrsulineAcademy’s lacrosseteam, according to coachTodd Vollmer, is off to itsbest start in a while thisseason. They are close tocracking the Top-10 inlaxpower.com’s rank-ings. They sit at No. 12.

There are two otherteams from the Cincin-nati area ahead of UA asof April 28. Sycamore,which sits in third, andDivision II Indian Hill insixth. The Lions willmeet both teams soon,and Vollmer said thosetilts will provide a reallygood look at where Ursu-line stands.

“Right now, a lot ofstuff is coming togetherfor us,” the coach said.“We lost one of our sen-iors to injury before theseason and we have nojuniors. Things are justfalling in the rightplace.”

The pieces of the puz-zle coming together hashelped the Lions navi-gate a minefield of toughopponents. Vollmer saidthis was the toughestschedule he’s ever con-cocted.

He made it that way,with contests against thelikes of Summit CountryDay, Dublin Coffmanand Sycamore, becausehe felt he had a team thatresponds well to pres-sure.

Tailoring an offensivescheme to the girls’strengths has been aboon as well.

Senior Lily Baldwin, astandout from the fieldhockey team and Tuftssignee, leads the team inscoring as well as drawcontrol. She has runningmates in Adair Molinskyand Shannon Toomb, too.

Both sophomores, thepair finished among theteam’s top three scorerslast year and are poisedto do so again.

As the season has pro-gressed, the girls havegotten more comfort-able. with the way thescheme works.“There’sbetter ball movement,”Vollmer said. “We’restarting to see more as-sists and less one-on-onescoring.”

The Lions coach alsosaid his team has playedgreat defense. Haya Ak-bik leads that unit in theback half and SarahDoyle patrols the cage.

He added that the unit

does a great job helpingkeep UA in tight games.

“Haya is going to bereally tough to replacewhen she graduates nextyear,” Vollmer said. “Sa-rah is an active defender.She does a great job cre-ating turnovers. That’snot something you seewith a lot of goalies.”

As for an outlook onthe rest of the season, the9-1 Lions won the GirlsGreater CatholicLeague. From there,They want to advance be-yond what they did lastseason. UA was amongthe final eight teams leftin the Division I tourna-ment a season ago

“The conference wasours to win and ours tolose,” the coach said. “Inthe playoffs, I think thesky is the limit,” thecoach says. “When thisteam shows up to play, Ilike our chances.”

plants along with furniture, groceries, hardware and appliances. On any given day we are giving personal service to customers, helping them

find new plants that will be successful in their landscape, whether it be container gardening, a woodland retreat, formal or cottage gardens, foundation plants around the home or a new tree in the yard. Our extensive inventory includes a large native selection,

heritage plants, and the newest plant introductions that have truly “proven” their worth in Mary’s test gardens. If it doesn’t meet her

standards, we don’t grow or sell it. During business hours customers tour Mary’s 3 acres of 65 year old private gardens. Mary at 94 years young, gardened her entire life, and shares her expertise to help other gardeners. Walking our growing fields you will find plants locally grown in Ohio soil, ready to be transplanted in your garden. Or choose from those plants already potted or balled and burlapped in the nursery sales area. We provide a full landscape consultation, design, and installation service to fit any gardener’s needs. Our designs use “the right plant for the location”, not just what looks good today, but will be hardy and remain attractive for years to come. In celebration we will be offering selected plants valued to $8.00 for 40¢ with purchase. Events: May 3 – 8 Fragrance Week with ‘Mini Mother’s Weekend Tea’, May 15, Container Gardening Class, June 4, Propagation Seminar, July High Tea in the Garden, Aug. 7, Art in the Garden, and more.
