Another resolution for atime extension and changes tothe Loveland Station develop-ment project remains in thehands of Loveland City Coun-cil, after it failed to reach a de-cision onMay 27.

A resolution to extend thedue diligence period for Love-land Station, also known asRiverTrail Flats, fromJune 30toAug. 31andmakechanges tothe development agreementwas tabled by council.

The development will have94 apartments and 15,000square feet of commercialspace. It is expected to bring250 new residents into down-town Loveland.

ActingCitySolicitor JosephBraun, who was filling in forCity Solicitor Franklin Klaine,asked council to table the reso-lution and discuss it in execu-tive session.

Council is allowed to go intoexecutive session to discussthe purchase or sale of proper-ty, according to the Ohio Re-vised Code, but most discus-sionsaboutresolutionsregard-ingLoveland Station have hap-pened in regular session.

Councilwoman PauletteLeeper voted against the coun-cil going into executive ses-sion.

Council was in executivesession for about 40 minutes,but no actionwas taken once itreturned to regular session.

Council failed a similar res-olution at a special meeting on

April 29. The resolution askedfor the same extension of thedue diligence period, the pro-ject’snametobechangedfromRiver Trail Flats to LovelandStation Apartments and con-tingency changes to the devel-opment’s agreement.

Interim City Manager Da-vidDuckworth said the reasonor the time extension is thatland near the train tracks,whichwasownedby thecity, isnowownedbytheOhioDepart-ment of Natural Resources.Transferring the ownership ofthe land to project developer,Jim Cohen of CMC Properties,will take longer.

The resolution failed 4-3.Thosewhovotedagainst it saidtheir concern was not with thetime extension, but vague lan-guage about who would regu-late the parking - the city ofLovelandorCohen - andwherethe parking areas would be lo-cated.

The tabled resolution hadclearer language stating thecity would regulate the publicparking areas and Cohenwould regulate the privateparkingareas,reservedfortheapartments’ residents.

Council passed on motionApril 29 agreeing to extend thedue diligence period that en-suredtheprojectcanmovefor-ward, but the city wanted it tobe formalized with a resolu-tion.

The 22nd annual Run for thePoor 5K to support the charita-bleworks of the St. VincentDe-PaulSocietywill takeplaceSat-urday, June 7.

Runners and walkers willstart, and finish, on thegroundsof St. Elizabeth Ann SetonChurch on Buckwheat Road inMiami Township, beginning at9 a.m. In between, they’ll coverthe 5K distance over flat ter-rain on the streets of a quietresidential neighborhood andthrough the scenic trail of Mi-ami Meadows Park. St. MartinDistrict Council President Jer-ryNieb is impressedbythefactthis event was among the firstof its kind for St. Vincent De-Paul.

It may have been new 22years ago, but volunteer MarvHudson continues to chair andparticipate in the event hefounded to help raise funds forhis local SVDP council.

“The thing that impressesme all the time is thatMarv gotthe idea of doing this run for afundraiser way before almostanybody else; especially for St.Vincent DePaul,” Nieb said. “Ithinkwe’re probably the oldestfundraiser of this type for St.Vincent DePaul.”

“It’s just amazing the dedi-cation for 22 years,” said LoisCallahan, wife of past districtcouncil President Tom Call-ahan. “It’s almost year-round.”

Nationally, SVDP only be-gan sponsoring an event of thistype about 10 years ago. Local-ly, the Cincinnati council,which servesHamiltonCounty,had their first 5K earlier thisyear. St. Martin District Coun-cil of SVDP serves the needs ofthe poor and marginalized ofAdams, Brown, Clermont, Clin-ton, Highland and Warrencounties.

“It’s a real necessity for us,”Tom Callahan said. “We havecertain responsibilities.”

The Run for the Poor raisedabout $2,000 that first year andjust under $10,000 in 2013.There’s a house they support,andavanused to transportnec-essary items to those in need;not tomention the cost of insur-ance required for both.

MIAMI TWP. — Town-ship trustees are expect-ed to signa two-year leaseforwarehouse space nearstate Route 131. The planis to convert the buildinginto a temporary fire sta-tion— a few hundred feetaway from propertytrustees bought last yearto build a new fire station.

The lease will cost tax-payers about $1,500 amonth, said Miami Town-ship Administrator LarryFronk.

The temporary stationcould be operational assoon as August, said FireChief Steve Kelly.

“It’s not a lesser sta-tion in any way. It’s an op-

portunity to establish apresence that we don’tcurrently have,” Kellysaid.

The Miami TownshipFireDepartment current-ly has three stations: 6492Branch Hill Guinea Pike,1154 U.S. 50 and 5888McPicken Drive.

Trustees last yearbought 1.12 acres of landonSugarCampRoadnearstate Route 131 with$275,000 of taxpayers’money.

Kelly expects the newstation to handle about 25to 27 percent of the de-partment’s overall runs.

The station alsowill al-leviate the strain on thetownship’s McPickenDrive station, whichtakes themost calls of thethree stations, Kelly said.

Residents from thetownship’s White GateFarm subdivision previ-ously complained aboutslow response times.White Gate Farm is locat-ed off Dry Run Road,about half a mile fromstate Route 131.

“I know there is seg-ment of the communitythat has experiencedsome longercall times forservice. So I’m excited toget out there and estab-

lish a presence,” Kellysaid.

Fronk said the leasecould be extended aftertwo years, but that is theminimum amount of timeit would take to designand build a new station.

Costs for renovatingthe interior of the build-ing will be paid for by theoriginal property owner,Kelly said.

Kelly plans to staffthree people in the ap-proximately 1,800-square-foot station, alongwith one fire engine andone ambulance.

Temporary fire station proposed on S.R. 131By Keith [email protected]

Fronk Kelly

Before a new fire station is built on Sugar Camp Road nearstate Route 131 in Miami Township, township trustees areexpected to approve a two-year lease for one section ofthis warehouse. The plan is to convert it into a temporarystation. Three employees would staff the station, and theywould have access to one engine and one ambulance.KEITHBIERYGOLICK/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

for the Poor) we couldn’tsupport those activities,”Callahan said. “It is an ab-solute necessity. It allowsus to help people. It helpsus remain viable.”

The house they sup-port gives families inneed a place to stay to-gether while they getback on their feet.They’re the only organi-zation that will take in awhole family. It is a two-family house. Familiesstay for a limited timewhile they save their

money to get into a homeof their own. St. VincentDePaul is family focusedin its totalmission tohelp.

“Funds don’t just go tothat house,” Nieb said.“It’s still trying to keep afamily together.”

Funds help supportother SVDP conferenceswithin the five-county St.

Martin District Council.They help pay rent, utili-ties and assist in the re-covery for victims of di-saster; like a house fire,or 2013 tornado in Mos-cow, Ohio. It is all aboutgetting people the thingsnecessary to sustain fam-ily life.

Most of the money

raised from the run/walkgoes to St. Joseph’s in Ad-ams County – the poorestcounty in Ohio. Fundsalso go to the general con-ference shared support.Nieb cited a recent casewhere they helped some-one keep their job by get-ting car repairs done sohe could get to and from

work.“Seven of our confer-

ences and our districtcombined funds to getthis car repair workdone.,” he said.

Leisure walkers areencouraged and dona-tions are accepted even ifyou can’t join in 5K.

Hudson cited a pas-sage from the ProphetIsaiah (58:7-10) summa-rizing the motivation forfounding and sustainingthe Run for the Poorevent for these 22 years.

“Thus says the Lord:share your breadwith thehungry, shelter the op-pressed and the home-less, clothe the nakedwhen you see them, anddo not turn your back onyour own.” Hudson read.

Ursuline Academy wel-comed 20 students and threeteachers from St. Ursula Gym-nasium in Aachen, Germany,for an academic exchange thathas existed between theschools for 10 years.

Every other year studentsand teachers from Aachencome to Cincinnati in thespring for three weeks, andthen Ursuline students andteachers visit Aachen in Junewhen the academic year isover. Students and teachersstay with families from theschools, andexperiencecultur-al excursions and classes in thenew country.

“We are happy to have de-veloped this partnership withSt. Ursula Gymnasium,” Ursu-line Principal Tom Barhorstsaid. “It gives our students theopportunity to get a deep andcomplex view of another cul-ture. They see their own cul-ture experienced by someoneelse, and then they are im-mersed in a new culture thatthey’ve studied for years.”

While in Cincinnati, stu-dents from Aachen attendedclasses with their host sister,

participated in a German heri-tage tour of historic Over theRhine, visited The NationalUnderground Railroad Free-dom Center and attended aReds baseball game. They alsotraveled toChicago for aweek-end to participate in an archi-tectural tour and attend a mu-sical.

Ursuline world languagesteacher and Foreign ExchangeProgram coordinator LyndaHoffman-Jeep explained theadvantage of an academic ex-change.

“Academicexchangesstandin stark contrast to the typical'trips' that are offered by com-panies that have students trav-eling by bus fromsite to site, tojumpout andvisit amuseumorcastle, but have little or no in-timate and committed contactwith local individuals and edu-cational institutions.Academicexchanges provide deeper andlasting experiences for themind, heart and soul."

As part of Ursuline’s aca-demic exchange program, stu-dents fromReims, France, vis-ited Ursuline at the beginningof May.

LOVELAND —Brian Wozniakrecently had theMemorialDayweekend off at his summer joband spent it with an aunt, uncleand some other relatives in At-lanta, Ga.

While that might soundsomewhat dull, the fact the for-mer Loveland High and Wis-consin tight end is in Atlantatrying to stick on with the At-lanta Falcons is not.

Anundrafted free agent, theformer Tiger/Badger is tryingto latch on with “The DirtyBirds” by catching passes,blocking or playing specialteams. The 6-foot-4, 255-poundman snared six passes for Wis-consin in 2013. Four of thosewent for touchdowns.

“The way I look at it, thesummer is split up in two dif-ferent areas,” Wozniak said.“The first is working out withthe team doing some non-con-tact stuff. Then, we get like amonth off and come back fortraining camp, which is kind oflike the second interview.”

Wozniak is also in good com-panywithhisGeorgia relativesand anumber ofBadgers hang-

ing around as Falconprospects.

“There’s two offensive line-men here, another tight end, asafety and an old quarterbackwho’s a scout here now,” Woz-niak said of his “cheeseheadchums.”

Though he’s played in anumber of classic stadiums,Wozniak has never suited up atthe Georgia Dome.

“With the Big 10 and theteams we played in the Big 10,I’ve played in some loud stadi-ums,”Wozniak said. “It’ll be in-teresting to see how loud thisstadium gets.”

While not able to attend lastDecember’s Loveland statechampionship, Wozniak stayedglued tohis almamater’swin inthe snowwithvarious electron-ic devices. He’s also beenknown to dispense advice tosome of the Tigers, includingsenior Brian Popp who recent-ly committed to play Division Ifootball.

“He’s actually my next-doorneighbor and he’s going to Pittwhere my old tight ends coachfromWisconsin is at,”Wozniaksaid. “When I was goingthrough the process, it waskind of a pain in the butt. I real-

ly had no idea what was goingto come. I told myself I need tobe a better overall neighborand help Brian as much as Ican.”

He’s also tried to give byshowing up at practices fromtime to time. In the past, he as-sisted former coach AndrewMarlatt during the preseasonand would like to tutor some ofthe current crew.

“I’ve talked to coach (Fred)Cranford and whenever he’llhaveme out, I’ll be happy to doit,”Wozniak said. “Iwas sohap-py for them last year.”

In the meantime, Atlanta isminus veteran Tony Gonzalezat tight end due to retirement.Like Wozniak, Gonazalez hadsome basketball abilities. Theformer Cal Golden Bear wouldoften “dunk” over the goal postafter a touchdown catch. AtLoveland,Wozniakwasa three-time first team all-league play-er for coach Tim Partin.

Could a slam of the pigskinbe in Wozniak’s future shouldhe find the end zone?

“I don’t know,”Wozniak saidlaughing. “The last couple ofyears you’ve seen Tony kind oflaying it up; I might have to tryat least.”

is hurling, he needs some runsupport. Senior starting pitch-ers Cameron Varga and BlakeSwanger have been impressiveand have benefited from theconsistent slugging of seniorcatcher Kyle Davis. Davis hasprovided all the offense the Ea-gles have needed this postsea-son. Davis homered in CHCA’ssectional and regionalwins, andhad the go-ahead runs batted inthe theEagles’ district clincher.

Davis’s slugging (.511battingaverage, 39 runs batted in) is aluxury that the Eagles need notrely on. The West Virginia Uni-versity commit has four homeruns on the season and set aschool record for most careerdoubles.Hehasalsoplayedstel-lar defense behind the plate and

“They’ve bought into myplan of playing aggressive,carefree baseball,” said Keith.“They’re okay with playingsmall ball and playing for runsearly.”

From the top of the lineup tothe bottom, the Eagles knowwhat it takes towin andarewill-ing to do it. Ricky Silvestri,Ryan Smith, and the Murraybrothers, Chase and Cameron,are willing to share the offen-sive load. “Nobody’s selfish,”said Keith. “We play selfless

CORRYVILLE — Thebig, blue Moeller HighSchool fire truck thatshows up at major Cru-sader sporting eventswill bemaking yet anoth-er appearance at Hun-tington Park in Colum-bus.

Armed with their 11thstraight district title af-ter beating Centerville,coach Tim Held’s crewgot a shutout from ZachLogue to dispatch Bea-vercreek May 30 at theUniversity of Cincin-nati’s Marge SchottField. That set up theGreater Catholic League/Greater Miami Confer-ence showdownwithMa-son the next evening.

The Crusaders ap-peared to be in the driv-er’s seat with a 3-1 lead inthe bottomof the seventhand sophomore leftyNickBennett chewing upComets. However, Ma-son managed to get run-ners to second and thirdwith two outs and clean-up hitter Andy Marz-heuser up.

What looked like agame-endinggrounder toMoeller’s Riley Mahantook a strange hop andsuddenly, the game wastied.Thenext hitter,Rod-neyHutchison, singled toleft and pinch-runner Lo-gan Williams tried to tieit Pete Rose/Ray Fosse-

style.Moeller’s Bailey Mon-

toya stood ground andWilliams was ejected forbumping the catcher.

Thegamestayedknot-ted at 3 until the 9thwhenMoeller loaded the basesand Hutchison hit juniorJoe Vranesic with a pitchto make it 4-3. The Com-ets got out of the inningwithout further damage,but went 1-2-3 againstVranesic as the Crusad-ers prevailed.

“Mason scored thoseruns so fast,” Held said.“Therewasn’t time to getnervous. When they hadthe runner on second andgot the base hit to leftfield, Iwasnervous.KyleButz comes up andthrows a strike at home.That was a huge play.”

Bennett picked up thewin with four innings offour-hit relief and juniorVranesic got the save.NickVoss, startingon thefield he’ll be pitching atnext season,went four in-nings allowing just threehits and a run.

Held was impressedwith the composure ofhis pitchers.

“Playing that regularseason gets them readyfor moments like these,”Held said.

Moeller nowmoves onto play Massillon Jack-son at1p.m., Friday, June6, at Huntington Park.Jackson’s record is 24-5and Moeller is 24-4.

They’ve done it oftenwith speed and pitching.The offense against Ma-son left Held with somepromise.

“Everybody’s expect-ing us to score 10 runs,”Held said. “People look atour numbers and saywe’re not the same ol’Moeller. I think bangingout 10 hits against thosethree pitchers, I think it’sall there.”

Pitching plans had notyet been decided atpresstime, but it’s a safebet you’ll see Universityof Kentucky-bound ZachLogue on the bump in Co-lumbus. Likemany of theCrusaders, he’s now apostseasonveteranof thebig stage.

“We know whenZach’s on the mound he’sgoing to keep the runcount low against us,”Held said. “If we canscore three or four, wefeel pretty confident.”

By tradition, the Cru-saders collect a bottle ofdirt at each game andtake it to the next. With avictory, they empty itand refill it with the dirtof their last field.

Not to be forgotten,Moeller’s Nick Bennettsnuck on Marge SchottStadium’s mound some30 minutes after the re-gional win and stuffedsome UC dirt into hisback pocket.

The next bottleawaits.

Cincinnati baseballfanswhowant to see someof the best young playersthe region has producedin recent years can spendthe next two months ofsummer following theCincinnati Steam.

The Great Lakes Sum-mer Collegiate Leagueteam begins its ninth sea-son of play on June 5 witha road game against theLexington Hustlers. Theleague gives an opportu-nity for college players toplay against high-levelcompetition after theirspring season wraps up.

“We’ve done a reallygood jobofputting togeth-er a great group of play-ers,” first-year headcoach Brad Gschwindsaid.

Gschwind knows first-hand how valuable theGLSCL can be for a col-lege baseball player. The2011 Miami Universitygraduatespent threesum-mers playing for theSteam and still ranksamong the top10 in sever-al categories fororganiza-tion.

“I loved the time Ispent there each summerand the years I spent

there,” said Gschwind.He can relate to this

year’s roster of players,who either currently playfor local colleges orplayed for area highschoolsbeforegoingoff tocollege. He understandsthe adjustment the play-ers have to make to usingwood bats and the grindthe season can take on theplayers going quicklyfrom their long collegeseason to the summerleague.

“I’m not too far re-moved from their shoes,”said Gschwind.

The Steam are one ofnine teams in the GLSCL,which features teamsfrom Ohio, Kentucky andMichigan. Several cur-rent and former playersfrom the Steam are cur-rently playing in theNCAA Regional tourna-ment with their respec-tive college teams. Play-ers from Xavier Univer-sity, Indiana University,and the College ofCharleston will join theSteam once their colle-giate season is completed.They will face off againstother players with NCAARegional tournament ex-perience throughout thesummer.

“It’s a really good

league,” saidGschwind oftheGLSCL. “It’s acompet-itive league. It’s good forthese guys to keep play-ing.”

The Steam will playthis season inhonorof for-mer general managerMaxMcLeary,whodied inFebruary.Hewasapartofthe organization since itsinception in 2006. At theteam’s home opener onJune 6 against the Hus-tlers, the “Beach Club”down the first base linewill be re-dedicated inmemory of McLeary.

“Max was a great guyand worked really hardfor the team,” saidGschwind. “He did somany different things forus. All the guys know howhard he worked.”

TheSteam’shomefieldis McCartney Stadiumacross fromWesternHillsHigh School. The 19 homedates in June and Julypromise to deliver a goodtime and quality baseball.

“This is a great envi-ronment to watch a game,close to the action,”Gschwind said.

The horror and crime ofelder abuse resonates through-out the state,as well as inour own com-munity.

Accordingto Policy Mat-ters Ohio, anadvocacy or-ganizationbased in Ohio,“The ‘silentepidemic’ ofelder abusegets little pub-lic attention, but estimates ofprevalence in Ohio, based onthe findings of national stud-ies, indicate it should be a pub-lic health priority.”

Ohio law requires that coun-ties investigate all allegationsof abuse, self-abuse, neglectand self-neglect. ClermontSenior Services, under con-

tract with the Department ofJobs and Family Services,conducts the adult protectiveservice investigations.

Currently, only $500,000 isdirected, statewide, towardinvestigating reported casesand approximately $30,000 ofthat amount comes to Cler-mont County and is put towardone full time and two back-upinvestigators. Policy MattersOhio reports that many Ohiocounties receive as little as$2,000 a year for the services,and 39 of Ohio’s 88 countieslack a full-time APS staff per-son. To offset the differenceneeded to meet this less-than-minimally-funded mandate,senior services levy funds aredirected toward protectingthose seniors who are truly themost vulnerable.

Further consider that Cler-mont County continues its

rapid trend in growth, havingthe third fastest growing pop-ulation of persons age 60+ inthe state and trending withMiami University ScrippsGerontology Center projec-tions that the County's 60+population is increasing by 120percent between 2010 and2020. The growing older adultpopulation and demand for theprioritization of critical-needservices, as well as planningfor future growth, puts Cler-mont County in a tenuous posi-tion.

Aligning with that growth isthe large increase of APS re-ferrals from124 in 2008 to 264received in 2013, and 2014 hasalready exceeded 2013, basedupon referrals-to-date compar-isons.

Frankly, if, in the cases offinancial exploitation, we canprotect seniors from falling

prey to the unlawful, deceitful,and criminal means of drain-ing them of their financialresources, the taxpayer willultimately save since personalresources can be used for aperson's care rather than beingdepleted by unlawful meansand having no choice but toaccess needed resourcesthroughMedicaid assistance.

The state-wide lack of ade-quate funding for Adult Pro-tective Services demonstratesa lack of regard for the needsof the most vulnerable of olderadults. HB 483 has passed inthe House of Representativesand is now under review in theSenate.

I had the honor of submit-ting testimony to the SenateFinance Committee in supportof this Bill, which would pro-vide for a statewide allocationof $10 million to protect older

adults who have been abused,neglected or drained of every-thing they worked and saved intheir lifetimes.

Please consider contactingState Sen. Joseph Uecker, re-questing his support of HB483. And, join us in recognizingJune 15, 2014 as World ElderAbuse Awareness and Preven-tion Day.

If you believe someone maybe a victim of elder abuse,neglect or financial exploita-tion, call the Clermont CountyDepartment of Jobs and Fam-ily Services 732-7173 who willreport the circumstances tothe investigative team. Someform of action is requiredwithin 24 hours of receivingthe referral.

The Archdiocese of Cincin-nati has amended teachercontracts so that they can beterminated for specific con-duct deemed immoral or evenexpressing opinions aboutselect subjects.

So no gays allowed norsupport of gay rights, no arti-ficial insemination or support-ing that idea, including abor-tion, sex out of wedlock, andeven belonging to organiza-tions whose messages areincompatible with Catholicdoctrine (Republicans? Demo-crats? NRA?).

This has nothing to do withwhat teachers say and do inclass and on school property;it goes to their homes, theirbedrooms, their Facebookpages and Twitter accounts.Check a “Like” button sup-

applaud this and make theirvoices heard, there is a silentmajority who are more toler-ant. And while the teacherscannot stand up and be heardfor fear of being fired, therest of us need to.

Even though Pope Francisis trying to change the focusof the Church to the essenceof what Jesus was about,some, like Archbishop DennisSchnurr apparently, are stillobsessed with our pelvic re-gions and controlling opinionsabout these sensitive issues.Thugs (like the Taliban andPutin) curtail freedom ofspeech to maintain control,our Church leaders shouldn’t.Is our faith really too flimsy towithstand allowing the free-dom to express opinions out-side of school?

Some of our best teachersare refusing to sign the con-tract and be a part of this Mc-Carthy-type witch-hunt. I wasprivileged to read a letterfrom one such veteran teach-er. He was eloquent in hissupport of fellow teachers,students, administration, andfriends who the Archdioceseis now saying he can no longersupport. It pained him to leavehis students but how could hebe a part of telling gay stu-dents they are lesser? Whereis the morality in this?

What would Jesus do?Would Jesus associate withand care for these people?Jesus said nothing about ho-mosexuality and artificialinsemination, but he has toldus how to behave towards oneanother, and it was the oppo-

site of what the Archdiocese iscommanding of our teachers.

Archbishop Schnurr re-fuses to meet with groups whowant to help change the word-ing. So what can we do? Wecan vote with our pocket-books. Replace the money youput in that envelope each Sun-day with a note saying yousupport our teachers. Andmaybe we will choose a Sun-day that we can all do thistogether. Sign a petition atSullyville.com/petition. Writea letter to the Archdiocese.Let your voice be heard. Un-like our teachers, you havenothing to lose. Don’t let intol-erant extremists chase awayour best teachers.

Simple, everyday thingslike slippery rugs, clutteredhallways and dark stairwayscan be dangerous for seniorsage 65 or more living at home.

Equally simple solutions –removing throw rugs, addinglighting – makes the differ-ence in helping seniors con-tinue to live in their homes asthey age, rather than movingon to assisted living facilities.

May is Older AmericansMonth, when the nation cele-brates and recognizes olderAmericans for their contribu-tions and gives them informa-tion to help them stay healthyand active. All year long, weat Whole HomeModifications,a service of People WorkingCooperatively, provide theexperience and expertise tohandle any modificationsprojects that’ll help seniorscontinue living where they’dlike – at home.

This year, we’re focusingon injury prevention with thetheme, “Safe Today. HealthyTomorrow.” Did you know thatolder adults are at a muchhigher risk of unintentionalinjury and even death than therest of the population? Theseunintentional injuries result inat least 6 million medicallytreated injuries and more than30,000 deaths every year.

Caregivers can help pre-

vent these injuries by taking awalk through a senior’s homeand looking for potentiallyhazardous situations and tak-ing action to correct them.

Potential modificationsinclude:

Stairways»Make sure all handrails

May 29 questionWhere is the best park in the

area andwhy do you think it’s atthe top of the list?

“There are so many greatparks in Colerain and Greentownships.

“Ihavenotbeen toall butmyfavorite is theupdatedColerainPark on Poole Road. There is aquality play ground area withmany swings etc. There areseveral nice-sized, rentablecovered shelters and somegreat ball fields.

“The shaded walking path isgreat for joggers and walkers.The concerts in the large out-door amphitheater are a greatsummer time venue.

“Plus being next to the mid-dle school additional parking isabundant. They have really

fixed this park up in the last 10years or so and keep it clean. Iam surprised more residentsdo not take advantage of thisgreat green space.

Hear theSweet Soundsof Summer!

Gosh, how timeflies. Seems like itwas just yester-

day when my boys werelittle and my husband,Frank,answeredthis waywhen Iasked himwhat hewanted forFather’sDay.

“Nopresents,just some-thing fromthe grill and some peaceand quiet.”

I have to laugh when Irecall how the food wasnever a problem, but thepeace and quiet surewas. Dad’s day is a goodtime to celebrate all thedads in your life, bothones you are related toand those you are not.And if you’re nervousabout feeding him afeast from the grill, hereare some basics to makeyou a grill master!

Grilling basics 101:Clean that grill: A

long handled, stiff brushworks well. Use it twice:when grate is preheatedbut before the food goeson and again after you’redone cooking, while it’sstill hot.

Oiling the grate: Bestto do when grill is hot.Make a small pad out ofa paper towel and dip itinto oil, then rub it withlong handled tongs overbars of grate. This alsohelps clean off debris. Ifyou want to spray, takegrate off grill away fromthe fire. Never spray oilonto grate over the fire.

Wood chips: these adddistinctive flavors, andshould be soaked in wa-ter about 30 minutesbefore grilling. I like tosoak chips in wine andherbs. Just drain themwell and wrap in a foilpacket. Poke holes in toponly and place amongthe coals or rocks.

Have on hand: Thickgrill gloves, oven mittsor potholders, apron andtowels.

Salt it down! A box ofcoarse salt is a must tohave for sprinkling overa grease fire.

Don’t know a rubfrom amop?

Rub: a “dry” mari-nade – a mixture of driedseasonings rubbed di-rectly onto surface ofmeat. Adds intense fla-vor and coating forms aseal. Let rubbed meatsstand for 30 minutesbefore cooking to allowseasonings to penetrate.

Mop: this comes fromthe tool used to dabsauce on barbecuedmeats. It looks just like alittle cotton “mop” on theend and is used insteadof a brush.

Marinade: meats areput into seasoned liquids,which enhance flavorand tenderize. Mari-nades moisten surface ofmeat so it doesn’t dry outover hot coals.

Glaze: a thin type ofsauce that is usuallyglossy when brushed onfoods, sometimes duringthe last five minutes ofgrilling, and the glazeremains glossy aftercooking.

Grilled steak withgarlic and thymerub

What cut to use? Flatiron is part of the chuckso it has great beefyflavor and is almost astender as tenderloin.Originally, skirt steakwas cut to be used infajitas and has a bit morefat than the hanger orflank. Flank works wellhere too. My favoritesare flat iron and flank.Serve with a side ofgrilled thick sliced pota-toes.

For each steak (1-1/2pounds approx.)

Combine with enougholive oil to make a pastyrub:

2 teaspoons choppedfresh thyme or 1 tea-

spoon dried thymeleaves

2 teaspoons garlic1/2 teaspoon pepper

and 1 teaspoon saltFor sprinkling on

immediately after grill-ing: Romano cheese andchopped parsley

Score steak on bothsides. Rub seasoningonto steak on both sides.Let sit about 30 minutes.Place on hot grill andgrill until medium rareto medium, turning once.Remove and sprinklewith cheese. Let rest,tented, 5 minutes or soand slice thinly againstgrain.

Chipotle butterMix together and then

roll into a log and placein frig or freezer. This is

so delicious on top of aplain grilled steak.

1/2 cup unsalted but-ter, completely softened

Canned chipotle chil-ies in adobo, stemmed,seeded and minced - totaste

2 tablespoons limejuice

Scant teaspoonground cumin

Salt to taste.

Mercy Health’s ortho-paedic team offers thefollowing tips to helpgardeners protect theirjoints while beautifyingtheir residences and ourneighborhoods.

Any gardener can tellyou that gardening isphysical and that it'sexercise.

Physical exercise canlead to joint injuries anddoing too much or usingthe wrong technique canlead to overuse injuries,the most common type ofgardening injury.

Gardening injuriesfrom overuse can affectmany parts of the body.In the hands, elbows andshoulders, they can leadto:

» Carpal Tunnel Syn-drome, which involvesnumbness of the hand,usually felt most at night.Small hand tools andvibrating motor equip-ment can contribute toswelling of the hand andpressure of the mediannerve, which suppliessensation to the thumb,index and long finger.

» Tendonitis, symp-toms of which consist ofpain and weaknessaround the wrist andhand/fingers. Usingsmall hand tools such aspruning shears or scis-sors can lead to tendon-itis of the hand.

» Tendonitis also af-fects elbows. Pain andweakness in the elboware the hallmarks oftendonitis, which in gar-dening is often the resultof overdoing a certainactivity, such as lifting,shoveling and spreadingmulch. Elbow pain is alsoknown as tennis elbow

when it affects the out-side part of the elbow orgolfers elbow when itaffects the inside part ofthe elbow.

» Rotator cuff inju-ries, especially if you domuch of your gardeningwork overhead, eithertrimming tall plants andshrubs or watering flow-ering baskets.

Knee injuries include:» Anterior knee pain,

which can be caused bykneeling, bending andeven digging in hard,clay soil that irritates thekneecap and surroundingstructures in the front ofthe knee, causing anteri-or knee pain

»Meniscus tears canresult from deep squat-ting while planting andweeding. There are twomenisci in the knee,which are small discs ofcartilage located be-tween the thigh bone(femur) and the shinbone (tibia). A meniscustear can cause knee pain,swelling and locking.

A common back injuryincludes:

» Soreness, especiallyin the lower back, fromtime spent bent overweeding and planting orcarting plants and soil

The following com-mon sense healthy gar-dening tips can help youavoid many of these com-mon overuse injuries,stay healthy and protectyour joints:

» Start with stretches– You’d likely do somestretching before head-ing on a run. Lightstretching before gar-dening can help ward offback pain and stiffness inthe joints. Do some bendsto help your back andknees and warm up yourhands, wrists, elbows andshoulders by rotatingthem slowly in eitherdirection for a fewmin-utes.

» Take breaks and mixit up - Limit the time youspend doing one activity.Weed, mulch or shovelfor half hour or so, thenstand up, stretch or get adrink of water. Changeyour activity to some-thing else, such as lightpruning or raking. Thiswill help prevent overuseinjuries and back pain.

»Use knee pads -When weeding, use foampads or knee pads. Thereare also small scooters orlightweight stools youcan sit on while weedingto protect your knees andback.

»Use proper tools -Tools with extensions orlong handles allow you toavoid kneeling or stayingin a crouched position forextended periods of timeor reaching higher that iscomfortable for yourshoulders. Small handtools with springs to helpyou open and close themwill decrease yourchance of developingtendonitis. A wheelbar-row can help you avoidback injuries frommov-ing heavy bags of soil.

» Consider raised bedsand planters - Planting inraised beds and planterscan help spare your backand knees, especially ifyou sit on a gardeningstool while you work

»Watch bending andkneeling if you've hadjoint replacements.

Girl Scout volunteersintroduce girls to newexperiences that showthem they’re capable ofmore than they everimagined.

Volunteers are girls’cheerleaders, guides andmentors, helping girlsdevelop skills and confi-dence that last a lifetime,and help girls get so ex-

cited about their futurethat they can hardly waitfor it.

Girl scout volunteersare role models. Theyteach girls somethingnew, what’s possible andhelp them shine.

Kara Baily, a Univer-sity of Cincinnati stu-dent, has been a GirlScout volunteer since

2010. She has facilitatedseveral Art and Dramaseries, and volunteers ata day camp.

She said, “I love beingable to give girls theopportunity to learn out-side the classroom andhave fun at the sametime. Girl Scouts teacheskindness, honesty, andfairness, among other

things. I signed up tovolunteer with GirlScouts to fulfill servicerequirements. After myfirst series, I realized itwas less about complet-ing requirements andmore about finding some-thing meaningful to do. Icannot imagine a betterway to spend my time.”

Katie Hamm, an IT

project manager at Gen-eral Electric, agrees.Having been a Girl Scoutgrowing up, she jumpedat the opportunity tobecome a series volun-teer, which she’s been fortwo years.

She has facilitated twodifferent series, STEM(science, technology,engineering and math)and Financial Literacy.

“What I enjoy most,beside the constantsmiles and fun, is observ-ing the girls learn tothink outside the box.Watching them have that‘ah-ha’ moment bringsme so much joy. I canmake a positive impacton their life and teach

them important topics, ina fun way! Girl Scoutsprovides all the materi-als; it’s an easy and short-term commitment,”Hamm said.

There are many GirlScout volunteer opportu-nities, including leadingseries activities that takesix to eight weeks fromtraining until the activ-ity’s completion.

Anyone who wants tohelp build girls’ leader-ship abilities can apply tovolunteer.
