The Loveland City Schoolscould pay more than $700,000for new tennis courts and play-ground.

The district has put out bidsfor an all-inclusive playgroundat Loveland Primary School,which will cost about $348,000.

“I think it will come in lowerthan that. We come in with theultimate playground, scaled itback and added in the surfaceand water issues,” BusinessManager John Ames said.

A group of teachers, staffand administrators at the pri-mary school started research-ing and fundraising for an all-in-clusive playground that would

allow more students, includeone in wheelchairs, to play to-gether during recess. In addi-tion to replacing the equipment,the district is also looking to fixthe drainage and flooding is-sues on the current playground.

Ames said the district haspaid VSW Architects $12,000 todesign the playground. The LPSgroup has raised $35,800 in do-nations.

The district also put the planto build new tennis courts atLoveland High School out to bid.The estimated cost is $454,000.Ames said the price is just forthe tennis courts and does notinclude the cost of building seat-ing, additional parking or path-ways.

The district has been in a dis-

pute with the city of Lovelandover the upkeep of the tenniscourts in Boike Park beside thehigh school. Though the courtsare used as the home courts forthe Loveland tennis teams, theyare owned by the city. Drainageissues and water damage havemade all but one of the courtsunplayable.

Ames said the district plansto build new courts between thesoftball and baseball fields atthe high school.

Superintendent Chad Hillik-er said he is working with Love-land City Manager Dave Kenne-dy to reach an agreement aboutthe tennis courts. As of their lastcorrespondence, the city said it

have to include a traditionthat started years agowhen Pat Furterer and theChamber held a “treelighting,” the mangerscene was in front of CityHall, and Loveland PublicWorks staff decorated theDowntown and LovelandMadeira so beautifully. Ofcourse, those traditionscontinue and I’d have toadd the special eventsheld each year at Christ-mas in Loveland as favor-ites - the choirs that allowus to accompany them insinging Christmas carols,chestnuts roasting on theopen fire and the verypopular production at theStage Company and thehorse drawn carriagerides. Of course, we can’tforget the Downtown res-taurants that offer free‘samplings’ of their spe-cialties as people walk bytheir buildings and thestores that are decoratedin the Christmas spirit. Ialso like just walking thestreets to visit the Histor-

ic Museum and Studios onMain to enjoy their festiv-ities. If I had to pick a fa-vorite, it would have to beall of these and probably afew more!”

What about the chil-dren? Here’s how 13-year-old Emely Villalba re-sponded to the question:“What is your favoritething about Christmas inLoveland?”

“My favorite partabout Christmas in Love-land is its cheerful atmos-phere. Everyone is filledwith the Christmas spiritand the effort to make

someone smile! My favor-ite attraction at Christ-mas in Loveland is the na-tivity. It truly captureswhat Christmas is allabout. The animals thereare also a great touch inthe realism of it.”

Reilly, Molly and Fran-kie Hass have madeChristmas in Loveland afamily tradition sincemoving here in 2003. Reil-ly said “I look forward tostanding around the bon-fire and drinking hot co-coa and watching the livenativity scene. It remindsyou of what Christmas is

truly about.”Molly said “I love hav-

ing my family together,especially the carriageride through old Love-land, it’s so pretty with allthe Christmas lights. Wego regardless of theweather (rain, snow orsleet)!”

Frankie added, “My fa-vorite part is going to theLoveland Stage Companyto watch the shows. Theyare so silly and funny. Oneof these days I’m going tobe up there making peoplelaugh!”

Lola Joyce Hamblintreasured her dolls andcreated an extraordinarycollection during her life-time. Her collection of an-tique dolls is now on pub-lic display for the firsttime at the Greater Love-land Historical SocietyMuseum in Loveland.

Hamblin’s threedaughters inherited thebeautiful collection uponher death. They agreedthey didn’t want the dollsseparated. Selling themmay have brought a fairsum of money.

“They could have soldthem,” said Jan Beller,Greater Loveland Histori-cal Society Museum.“They’re worth ...the val-ue goes up and down.They are really antique.We’re talking late 1800s,early 1900s.”

The three siblings didnot sell them. Instead thegirls agreed to donatethem to the Loveland mu-seum. Family memberslived in Loveland and atleast one of the girls re-sides in the Loveland areanow. Beller asked her whythey chose GLHSM.

“She said we weremore connected in Love-land,” Beller said. “Wecame in here last year forChristmas in Lovelandand we said this is theplace for those dolls.”

Now “those dolls” areon display at the museumas part of their Christmasseason exhibit this year.Beller and another mu-seum volunteer pulled outthe Christmas décor and

created the current dis-play. The Christmasthemed exhibit for thedolls is only temporary. Itis likely the dolls will be-come part of a permanentexhibit with descriptionsand information on each

doll in the future atGLHSM.

These unique antiquedolls are not a collectionof one certain kind of doll.It is a collection of a varie-ty of different dolls.

“Some of the clothes

are remade,” Beller said,“but they are vintage kindof clothes. As a doll experttold me, the value of thedoll is in the head and not

the clothes.”A China head doll is

among those most promi-nent in the collection.There is also a baby boydoll in a carriage that isunique. In the past, the

museum has exhibitedmore contemporary dollcollections. One of thosewas the “Barbie Dolls”display a little over a yearago.

“That was a big draw,”Beller said. “I think thiscertainly will be too.”

Loveland ElementarySchool

» It’s a win-win when readingplus math equal an opportunityto help our neighbors in theLoveland community duringthe holiday season.

That was the equation sixLoveland Elementary Schoolteachers were hoping for whenthey implemented a Read toFeed project; students weresponsored for every minutethey read, and classrooms col-lected the money to buy food todonate to Loveland’s LIFE FoodPantry.

“I think it is very importantto not only teach my studentsthe academics that they need tobe successful, but also aboutgood character,” teacher Melis-sa Prenger said. “We havetalked a lot about compassionand what it means to take careof others, even if we will nevermeet them. We consider our-selves family here at school andwe are so excited to be able tohelp our extended Lovelandfamilies through the food pan-try and this math/compassionproject.”

To incorporate math into thelesson students reviewed addi-tion and subtraction and stu-dents “shopped” in class usingthe grocery store circular andproducts teachers bought fromthe food pantry list. Studentsworked within budgets,checked serving sizes andworked together to create a list.

“My experience was notplain, it was fantastic. I love tohelp people because it makesme feel good,” student WyattScarberry said.

The six participating classestook separate shopping tripsduring mid-November to buythe food for donation. Studentscollected $2,875 in donations,which provided more than 80Thanksgiving holiday food bas-kets.

“I was blown away by thegenerosity and community sup-port.” teacher Kari Strater said.

“The students were able topractice real-world skills, beinga good citizen, addition and sub-traction and reading all in oneproject. I’m excited to makethis a yearly tradition to helpfeed local families each holidayseason.”

Loveland High School» It was a Veteran’s Day

Weekend to remember. Threedays, 46 Loveland High Schoolseniors, and Washington, D.C.

“The senior D.C. trip was anincredibly enriching experi-ence and I gained a new per-spective of our nation’s histo-ry,” senior Alyssa Gilliland said.“Visiting Arlington NationalCemetery for the second timewas a very different experi-ence. Visiting the differentLoveland graduates grave sitesincluding Seth Mitchell’s washeart breaking, but very mov-ing. After hearing the storiesfrom Mr. Volkman, I finally be-gan to realize how lucky we allare to have so many men andwomen who have given up ev-erything to protect others.”

“It’s important to share thelessons of history and self-gov-ernment, and when you can do iton site, it magnifies the powerof the lessons to be learned,”Volkman said. He has spon-sored the trip annually since1994. “Seniors are on the cusp ofadulthood and full citizenship.They must realize that this na-tion and its future belongs tothem. Washington reminds usthat history is made by people,just like them, who were con-fronted with tough questions,and who had to make tough deci-sions.”

“The Pentagon memorialwas a lot to take in,” Gillilandsaid. “I was thinking about all ofthe families affected and by allof the events that occurred onSeptember 11 and for the firsttime, it felt real. Mount Vernonwas beautiful. I loved walkingthe same paths that GeorgeWashington and his peoplewalked hundreds of years ago.

As we toured his mansion, it wasamazing to see the artwork anddetail put into the mansion thathas been preserved for so long.This trip opened up my eyes tothe amazing country we live in.We often spend most of our timecriticizing everything in ourlives and it felt good to appreci-ate our country’s past presentand future.”

» For the past 10 years theyhave called Loveland HighSchool home while spreadingtheir volunteer missionthroughout the Loveland com-munity and beyond. This yearhas been a busy one for Tigersin Service – a volunteer clubthat continues to thrive.

“We have worked at Matthew25, volunteered at variousevents in the Loveland commu-nity, and we have spent a lot oftime at the Loveland Care Cen-ter with residents there,” saidRachel Bierkan, LHS orchestradirector and Tigers in Servicesponsor. “We will also providedinner and childcare for the Be-thany House homeless shelter.

“The students learn to giveback to their community. Theydevelop a sensibility about thebigger world and are under-standing that they have the abil-ity to make a positive impact inthat world.”

Tigers in Service is open tostudents in grades nine-12. Thisyear, 60 students have volun-teered with the club.

Loveland Middle School andLoveland Intermediate Schoolstudents were treated to a spe-cial presentation featuring Jen-nifer Nielsen, no stranger to theNew York Times Bestsellers listand author of the award-win-ning books “The False Prince,”“The Mark of the Thief” and “ANight Divided.”

“Author visits are a terrificway to encourage kids to read,and perhaps even inspire thenext generation of writers andillustrators,” teacher KarenClary said. “Our students arelooking forward to writing theirown stories now.”

During her visit, Nielsen in-troduced students to “A NightDivided,” a historical fictionnovel, talking about her storiesand answering questions beforesettling in for a book signing es-pecially for the students.

Santos is an ocelot who wasborn Nov. 2, 2013, and is learn-ing to be a cat ambassador withthe Cincinnati Zoo Cat Ambas-sador Program. He used theLPS classroom as a place to gethis first experience workingwith students.

“The students loved seeingthe ocelot! Santos is learning tobe a cat ambassador so that hecan visit classrooms to teachchildren about how an ocelot is

uniquely adapted to its environ-ment, its role in the ecosystemand what can be done to protectall cats’ natural habitat,” teach-er Jennifer Kenny said.

“My hope is to instill stu-dents with a love for animals! In2005, I visited the Cheetah Con-servation Fund in Namibia, Af-rica, with a group of educatorsthrough Earth Expeditions, aprogram through Miami Uni-versity and The Cincinnati Zoo.This spurred my love for cats,and it is very important to me toshare this love with my stu-dents."

The Cincinnati Zoo Cat Am-bassador Program works tocomplement life science les-sons taught in Ohio classrooms.

Summit Country Day» Sherry Xiao of Norwood, a

sophomore at The SummitCountry Day School, took firstplace in her age group in theRose-Hulman Institute of Tech-nology Mathematics Contest atLakota West High School.

Students competed Nov. 14against 180 other students eightother local high schools. Thiswas the first year The Summithas participated in the competi-tion. Other top award winnersincluded Andrew Zhou of Ma-son, seventh place among ju-niors, and Charlotte Luo ofMount Lookout, ninth placeamong seniors. Students werecoached by Summit math teach-er Eric Unwin.

“The Rose-Hulman Mathe-matics Contest is a unique com-petition in which students com-pete by grade level and gender,”Unwin said. “I am very proud ofthe awards our students re-ceived and hope to return evenstronger next year.”

I should practice what I preach. Youknow how I’m always telling you at thebeginning of the holiday season to stock upon staples, like sugar, butter, flour, etc.Well, guess what I ran out of today? Allthree!

I had barely enough brown sugar andbutter to make yet another test recipe ofthe Williams Sonoma hot fudge chocolatesauce that I’ve been asked to clone.

In my defense, though, I started theseason out with what I thought was plenty,but with all the classes, presentations and plainold fun cooking for family and friends, I did runout.

But that’s OK. A trip to the grocery was amuch needed break from the kitchen.

Crunchy white peppermint barkSee the bark in the photo? I have that

recipe, along with more good bark recipeson my Abouteating.com site.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen: Sticky,stuck lids

To avoid this on jars of honey, corn syr-up, etc., spray the inside of the lid and alsothe outside rim of the jar.

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist,educator, Jungle Jim’s Eastgate culinary profes-sional and author. Find her blog online atAbouteating.com. Email her [email protected] with “Rita’skitchen” in the subject line.

Rita’s clone of Williams Sonoma’s hot fudgesauce

Oh my gosh, I think I nailed it! Talk about a nice gift fromthe kitchen, not to mention easy and a lot less expensive thanstore bought. Plus the love you put into this is priceless.

For Marcia in Deer Park and Natalie in Indian Hill. This is asclose as I can get to their hot fudge sauce. Wms Sonoma’s doesn’thave corn syrup in theirs, but in order to get the consistency andshine I wanted, I added some. Using a high quality chocolate baris important. Don’t use chocolate chips. This doubles easily andlooks as good as it tastes.

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, good quality1/3 cup whipping cream5 tablespoons light corn syrup8 oz bittersweet chocolate bar, chopped2-1/2 tablespoons salted butter (if using unsalted, add a

pinch of salt)3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar

In a heavy saucepan, stir the cocoa powder and whippingcream until smooth. Then turn heat to medium and add rest ofingredients. As it cooks, stir constantly with a whisk. When it startto hit a gentle bubbling boil all over, let it alone and continue tocook like that for 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to marry andproduces a depth of flavor found in hot fudge. Let it cool, andstore, covered in frig. It will get too firm to pour, so warm it gent-ly before using.

Rita’s clone of Williams Sonoma’s peppermintfudge sauce

OK so they don’t carry this anymore but when they did, Icouldn’t get enough of it. So what I did was made another batchof fudge sauce and added a teaspoon of pure peppermint extractafter I pulled it from the stove. All I’ll say is I ate way too muchstraight from the pan.

Crockpot bourbon glazed salami

From Kim, a member of my recipe group. She’s a down-towner, and said, “This was another Thanksgiving recipe that wasgone in minutes.” So, you can’t get a better recommendationthan that. Kim usually buys whole kosher salami for this, since shefinds that works best. What an unusual appetizer for a holidaygathering!

Large whole salami 1 cup apricot preserves1/2 cup maple syrup2 tablespoons bourbon

Slice the salami – about one inch. Then cut each slice intoquarters. (You want bite size piece to fit on a toothpick) Put intocrock-pot. Combine the other three ingredients together. Poorover salami and mix together so every piece is covered. Cover andcook on low for 6 hours. Put on a plate with toothpicks.

Tip: Substitute kielbasa for the salami if you prefer.

Dec. 2 question

What is your favoriteChristmas song? Which art-ist’s version do you prefer?

"’Oh Holy Night’ capturesthe essence of Christmas.Since I saw Sarah Brightmanin a live performance here inCincinnati, no other woman'svoice carries anything like thepower and range she does. Thissong requires both power andemotion. We lost the last in-credible tenor with the deathof Mario Lanza, who did thebest male version of the song.Charlotte Church also hasenough power for the song and,for those who don't care for the‘operatic’ quality of the othertwo, she can make you weep.”

D.B.“The seasonal, holiday song

I love is ‘Fairytale of NewYork’ by the Pogues, withShane MacGowan and KristyMacColl on vocals. The tune iscinematic in scope with a hu-morous poignancy, keeping itfresh for me year to year.”

C.S.“Frankly, none of them. If it

existed, I suppose I would real-ly enjoy ‘Christmas is Over’ bythe group Finally. I love the re-ligious meanings behindChristmas and the fact that it isa great excuse for families toreconnect, but the commercialside of Christmas has so over-whelmed everything about theseason and the non-stop com-mercials on TV, radio and theInternet make me want to vom-it. I know I am in a very smallminority, but the Christmas wecelebrate today is a far cryfrom the one 2015 years ago. I

am, however, a staunch believ-er that this time of the yearmust be called Christmas andnot the Holiday Season.”

M.J.F.“My favorite Christmas

song is a duet by Bing Crosby &David Bowie – “Peace onEarth/Little Drummer Boy”from Bing’s 1977 Christmas TVshow. Crosby and Bowie weretwo total opposite singing tal-ents harmonizing two greatclassic holiday songs. Thisduet can be seen and heard onYouTube. Now if only the restof the world could harmonizefor the holidays then theremight be some real peace onearth. Go Figure!”

Nov. 25 questionWould you feel safe travel-

ing to Europe in light of theParis attacks? What would ittake to make you feel safethere?

“Absolutely! When we fearthem we let them win.”

Amberly Nicole “Benjamin Franklin said,

‘Those willing to sacrifice

freedom for security, deserveneither.’ I agree with him.There are no guarantees in life.Go live it and embrace the ex-periences.”

John Bernard “I would travel to Paris to-

morrow if I could.”Beth Payton

“Europe is fine. Much lesschance of being shot there.”

Alistair Blair “I would feel safe flying to

any non-communist country.All of our allies are fighting forfreedom and nobody will over-come the free will of the peo-ple.”

John Scales “I am a travel agent, and I

have two colleagues who werethere last week and this week.Both are reporting it is busi-ness as usual – people eating atcafes, shopping, visiting tour-ist sites, with only the additionof some more police/militaryon the streets and that was acomforting sight. Both saidtheir planes were only abouthalf full. With the exchangerate being favorable, now is afantastic time to go. If I had thetime and the money, I would beon the next flight over!”

Lia Sansoucy “France is a great place to

go. Personally prefer Austria,but Europe was a great place tolive in.”

Alistair Blair “Planning a visit in about

three months ... not afraid.”Sibille Wagemann-Johnson

“Yes, that’s what the terror-ists want; for us to be scared.When it’s your time to go, it’syour time to go.”

and serves as the officialspokesperson of the Chamberof Commerce, Valentine Pro-gram in the Loveland area. Ifyou are unfamiliar with theChamber’s Valentine Program,it began 1972 and has grownover the years to include avariety of Valentine communi-ty activities, as well as a na-tionally-known cachet stamp-ing and postmark program.

Each year the team of Val-entine Ladies hand-stamp Val-entines with a unique cachet,which is modeled after a win-ning card design (selectedannually), and then hand-can-celled with a special Loveland,Ohio, postmark. Each year, theValentine Ladies - in conjunc-tion with the Chamber - re-mailthousands of cards to all 50states and many foreign coun-tries.

Peggy, who has been in-volved with the LIFE foodpantry since 2003, has threecriteria for volunteering: first,it must be fun; second, sheneeds to be able to learn some-

thing new, and finally she likesto be able to contribute some-thing of value . Loveland isvery fortunate to have volun-teers such as Peggy, who men-tioned Bobbie Books, Valentine

Lady 1997, as her inspirationfor taking on the role of chairof the Giving Shoppe planningteam.

“The rewards from beingpart of the Giving Shoppe are

enormous. The act of gift-giving truly takes on newmeaning – the value of allthose smiles, hugs and even afew tears from these familiesin need is immeasurable.” Yes,we are surrounded by magic inthis community.

When asked to share a mem-ory of her Valentine Ladyreign in 2006, Peggy respondedthat she felt like Mrs. SantaClaus and the Easter Bunny allrolled into one, as she wassurrounded by the sweet in-nocent faces of the children.She also enjoyed the fact thatshe could share her ValentineLady activities with her Moth-er who was visiting from Vir-ginia.

Mark your calendar now forthe naming of the 2016 Valen-tine lady and the unveiling ofthe original art Valentine cardSaturday, Jan. 9, at the Love-land Kroger on Loveland-Ma-deira Road.

Every year on the thirdThursday of November, smok-ers across the nation take part

in the Amer-ican CancerSociety GreatAmericanSmokeout.

They mayuse the date tomake a plan toquit, or plan inadvance andthen quitsmoking thatday. The eventchallengespeople to stop

using tobacco and helps peopleknow about the many toolsthey can use to quit and stayquit.

The idea for the GreatAmerican Smokeout grewfrom a 1970 event in Randolph,Massachusetts, at which a highschool guidance counselorasked people to give up ciga-rettes for a day and donate themoney they would have spenton cigarettes to a high schoolscholarship fund. Then in 1974,Lynn R. Smith, editor of theMonticello Times in Minneso-ta, spearheaded the state’s firstD-Day, or Don’t Smoke Day.

The idea caught on, and onNov. 18, 1976, the CaliforniaDivision of the American Can-cer Society got nearly 1 millionsmokers to quit for the day.That California event markedthe first Great American Smo-keout; the Society took theprogram nationwide in 1977.Since then, there have beendramatic changes in the waysociety views tobacco advertis-ing and tobacco use. Manypublic places and work areasare now smoke-free - this pro-tects non-smokers and sup-ports smokers who want toquit.

Research shows that smok-ers are most successful inkicking the habit when theyhave support, such as: tele-phone smoking-cessation hot-lines, stop-smoking groups,online quit groups, counseling,nicotine replacement products,

prescription medicine to less-en cravings, guide books, andencouragement and supportfrom friends and family mem-bers.

Using two or more of thesemeasures to quit smokingworks better than using anyone of them alone. For ex-ample, some people use a pre-scription medicine along withnicotine replacement. Otherpeople may use as many asthree or four of the methodspreviously listed. For freetobacco cessation resources inOhio call the Ohio tobacco quitline at 1-800-Quit-Now (784-8669), visit www.cancer.org tolearn more about quittingsmoking, improving yourhealth, or getting involved withthe Great American Smokeoutin your community, or you canvisit nicotine-anonymous.orgfor those wanting help to live anicotine- free life.

The spring of 2016 will begin the sec-ond season for Loveland Youth Volley-ball. This organization was created withone mission in mind – to provide a fun,learning, recreational environment forthe youth of Loveland to play, learn andpractice volleyball. This goal reaches farbeyond the court, this is giving the youthof Loveland another chance to try a newsport, learn to work as a team and get ac-tive.

Loveland Youth Volleyball Organiza-tion is a non-profit run by a board of vol-unteers. It is open to any child living inthe Loveland School District in grades3-8. Coaches are comprised of volun-teers who are given the opportunity to gothrough a coaching session with veterancoaches. They are also given a packetwith drills, ideas and tips to help the sea-son run smoothly. All coaches will bebackground checked for this comingseason and all seasons in the future.

Teams are formed based on priorevaluations for previous players and anevaluation day will be set up for all newplayers. This is not a tryout, it is simplyto allow the board to form teams of rela-tively equal players. Teams play eachother in the league and it is not beneficialfor anyone to have one team dominateanother. Teams are also combined gradelevels based on the league formation.

This allows grade levels with too few andthose with too many to combine and havemore teams. Keeping it all one grade lev-el would give more potential for somegirls to remain on a waiting list with notenough to form a team. Combining var-ied skills and grade levels allows thegirls to take on leadership roles, haveother to look up to and make new friendsbeyond their current classmates. Teamsrange from 8-12 girls on a team in the fol-lowing combos: 3rd/4th, 5th/6th and7th/8th. Boys can be placed on teamswith girls in grades three and four; fifthgrade and up they will have their owncombined grade level team.

In the first season, Loveland YouthVolleyball Organization provided the op-portunity for 102 girls to play volleyball.A few boys signed up but it was notenough to form a team. LYVO year twowe hope to be able to get the word outmore, and have close to 150 players (boysand girls). Currently all practices are inthe Loveland School District gyms.Matches were played last year on Sun-days between 2-9 p.m. at Courts forSports in Mason.

For more information about yourchild playing, coaching or becoming partof the board please check our website:www.lovelandyouthvolleyball.org oremail us at [email protected].

Though a 5-5 season in thevery difficult Greater CatholicLeague-South denied the Moell-er High School football team theplayoffs, one of the Crusaderswill play in the postseason.

Senior 6-foot-5 240-poundtight Jake Hausmann, an OhioState commit, was added to theparticipants in the U.S. ArmyAll-American Bowl and recog-nized on a selection tour stopDec. 1at Moeller. Ninety playersand 125 marching band mem-bers nationwide are invitedbased on ability and the aptitude

to adapt to challenging situa-tions, similar to Army soldiers.

The game will take place Jan.9 at San Antonio’s Alamodomeand will be live on NBC at 1 p.m.

“It’s a huge honor to be able torepresent Moeller and the U.S.Army,” Hausmann said.

Athree-year starter for coachJohn Rodenberg, Hausmannhauled in 50 passes for the Cru-saders this season for 718 yardsand 11 touchdowns. Included inthose totals are an 11-catch gameagainst Don Bosco Prep (NewJersey) and a 13-catch, three-touchdown game against theCanada Prep Academy.

Hausmann also had 39 recep-

tions in 2014 when Moellerreached the Division I semifi-nals and 22 as a sophomore whenthe Crusaders won the statechampionship over Mentor.

After his trip to San Antonio,Hausmann’s next stop will be Co-lumbus where he’ll join fellowCrusader Sam Hubbard with theOhio State Buckeyes. UrbanMeyer, along with assistantsKerry Coombs and Tim Hinton,recruited Hausmann. All are fa-miliar with the Cincinnati areawith Meyer attending the Uni-versity of Cincinnati andCoombs and Hinton serving asBearcat assistant coaches underBrian Kelly.

“Hopefully they can make theplayoffs,” Hausmann said of hisfuture team. “We’ll have to seehow the games turn out.”

Hausmann says winning atThe Pit against Elder and acomeback victory against Cleve-land St. Ignatius were amongthis year’s highlights.

He doesn’t have a number setaside with the Buckeyes anddoesn’t care what they give him.

“I just want to get on the fieldand earn my stripes,” Hausmannsaid.

He is the son of Vicki and PeteHausmann and the brother ofKirsten, an Ursuline volleyballplayer.

As a mother, Debbie McConnell hasdevoted much of her life to helpingothers. So after hearing about AARP’sLife Reimagined event in Sharonville,she decided she would spend a daythere concentrating on her own needs.

At the end of the day, she left deter-mined to undertake more projectsthat would give her a sense of accom-plishment, including writing a blogfor parents of children with disabili-ties.

“The experience has given me en-ergy, drive, passion and enthusiasm toput these Life Reimagined tools to useand keep going,” she said.

McConnell, of North College Hill,was one of more than 225 people whotook a first step – and in some casesthe next step – in using the Life Re-imagined system to focus on whatreally matters to them.

Nine speakers as well as SecondCity Works – an improvisational thea-ter group – inspired, educated and en-tertained people at Life Reimagined:Pursuing Purpose and Passion, a day-long experience at the SharonvilleConvention Center.

Life Reimagined is a personal guid-ance system AARP developed to helppeople live with more meaning. Peo-ple who missed it can attend Life Re-imagined Checkups held each monthacross Greater Cincinnati. The check-ups are two-hour workshops that helpparticipants take stock of their life ex-periences, identify their talents, skillsand values, and begin to plan for thefuture – all in the company of otherpeople in similar circumstances.Andthey can use the Life Reimaginedwebsite to guide them as well.

The speakers – including a TVbroadcaster, sociologist, rabbi and ac-tor – had vastly differently back-grounds, but they shared a commonmessage: a person’s attitude can makea dramatic difference in their successand happiness.

Keynote speaker Chris Gardnerrealized that when he was homeless

with his son – living in the San Francis-co subway system – he could “drive”them out of there because he was theone who had “driven” them there. Hefound his passion – being a stockbro-ker – and then, despite setbacks, be-came a multi-millionaire. He laterwrote his autobiography, “The Pursuitof Happyness,” which was turned intoan award-winning movie, starringWill Smith.

He credits his mother with instill-ing in him the attitude that he could door become anything as long as it wassomething that he was passionateabout. “She gave me permission todream,” he said.

Three times during the day, SecondCity Works acted out scenarios on theballroom stage, using crowd mem-bers at times, to illustrate obstaclesthat hold people back.

One skit, for instance, had a charac-ter who rejected every opportunity,another who said “yes” to every op-portunity and a third who took small,somewhat meaningless risks.

“It’s easy to reach your dreams

when you set your bar really low,” oneof the actors said. “And when you say‘yes’ to everything, you don’t reallyhave to decide what’s important toyou.”

Rabbi Abie Ingber, executive di-rector of Xavier University’s Centerfor Interfaith Community Engage-ment, urged people to perform simplegood deeds in simple ways -- acts ofthe heart – by giving gifts of theirtime, words, spirit and mind.

“These are our most precious gifts,and each person here has a treasurechest from which to offer them,” hesaid.

At the end of the day, Nicole Wareof Delhi Township, AARP’s Ohio asso-ciate state director, asked the crowdfor words that describe how they felt.The replies included, “inspired,” “in-vigorated” and “revitalized.”

She sent the crowd home with thesewords: “Go out and conquer theworld.”

Lots of Life Reimagined Checkupsare coming up in Greater Cincinnati.To find one, go to local.aarp.org.

According to the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention, one in six Amer-icans (48 million people) become ill eachyear by consuming contaminated foodand beverages, 128,000 are hospitalizedand 3,000 die of foodborne diseases.

“Food service facilities have huge re-sponsibilities when it comes to protectingpublic health,” according to Greg Kester-man, assistant Hamilton County HealthCommissioner. “Most of the foodborne ill-ness we see is preventable. That’s why weput so much effort into our education andinspection program with the food servicefacilities we serve,” he adds.

“The Hamilton County Public HealthClean Kitchen Award recognizes the best-of-the-best in maintaining safe food ser-vice operations,” Kesterman said. “Theaward is not easy to receive. When you seeone on display, it points to an operator thattakes the responsibility very seriously.

The Ohio CASA annual conferenceculminated in ProKids volunteer DebbieJacobs being honored as the Rising StarVolunteer of the Year.

Jacobs, who lives in Loveland, wasnamed as OCASA’s Rising Star Volun-teer of the Year Award – an honor re-served for those who have served lessthan two year as a CASA volunteer. CA-SA volunteers are court appointed spe-cial advocates who work under the juris-diction of county juvenile courts in Ohio.In Hamilton County, ProKids recruits,trains and supports these CASA volun-teers to speak up for abused and neglect-ed children.

Jacobs began training in the CASAUniversity program at ProKids in Sep-tember 2013 and took her first case thatDecember, nearly a decade after firstreading about ProKids in the local news-paper. She had saved that clipping be-lieving her organizational skills, interestin the law and commitment to servingothers would be a good fit at ProKidswhen her youngest child was in school.

In the time she has served as a Pro-Kids CASA volunteer, Jacobs has hadfive cases involving 17 children andworked with two staff CASA managersat ProKids.

She also has worked with both Pro-Kids staff and community professionalsto make sure the children’s needs aremet – and she is “pleasantly persistent”in doing so. For example, on one case sheadvocated consistently for Job & FamilyServices to complete the process for afamily to get a kinship care allocationwhich it was entitled to for the children.On another case, she researched swimlessons for a child and then connectedthe foster family to the needed funding.

On one of her cases, Jacobs knew thefour children were best served by re-maining with their grandmother, a car-ing woman who had been with themsince they were very young. But thegrandmother was nervous about takingon a permanent, formal commitment tothe children. Jacobs patiently listened toher concerns, suggested she use a jour-

nal to begin to think about her future,found an online budget tool to help herassess her finances and let her know thatshe supported her in her efforts to pro-vide a forever home to the children.Thanks to Jacobs’ support, the grand-mother accepted permanent custody ofthe children and the family is doing welltoday.

Those who have worked with Jacobscall her a “natural” and remark on hereasygoing ability to work with both pro-fessionals and families. They enjoy herstories of playing Ants in Your Pantswith the children and her optimistic na-ture. But mostly, they note how the chil-dren she has worked with are better offthan they would have been because Ja-cobs spoke up for them as a ProKids CA-SA volunteer.

Members of the General Assem-

bly clearly voiced their support for

a smoke-free Kentucky bill for the

2015 session last week that mirrors

previously failed legislation in 2014.

Denouncing the argument that a

smoke-free bill prohibiting smoking

in public places would kill business,

Brent Cooper, a business owner

from northern Kentucky, said not

only are businesses prospering

across the Ohio River in Cincinnati

with a smoke-free law, but that the

pubs in Ireland haven’t shut down

since the country put a ban on

smoking in the workplace 10 years

ago.Many legislators conferred that

public smoking was indefensible in

Kentucky given the state’s bad

health ratings compared to other

states throughout the U.S.

According to testimony from

Wayne Meriwether, CEO of Twin

Lakes Regional Medical Center,

second-hand smoke is just as dan-

gerous for those that don’t smoke.

“Twenty-six and half percent of

all Kentuckians smoke. We lead the

addressing the world of

UC Blue Ash Collegeprofessor Debbie Page isusing her foreign lan-guage skills to make a dif-ference close to home andhalf a world away.

Page, a Loveland resi-dent, is chair of the For-eign Language Depart-ment at UC Blue Ash Col-lege and a professor ofGerman who plays an im-portant role as a transla-tor for the City of the BlueAsh when officials meetwith delegates from theirsister city of Ilmenau,Germany. She also serveson the governing boardfor the Blue Ash SisterCity Inc. Committee andhas volunteered her ser-vices to area high schoolforeign language pro-grams.

Page has made the tripto Ilmenau as part of the

official Blue Ash delega-tion several times and ac-companied local govern-ment, business and educa-tion leaders this Octoberon the most recent visit toGermany. She also helpscity leaders when theyhost visitors from Ilme-nau.

“Debbie does a greatjob as a translator andalso with helping us un-derstand the German cul-ture,” Blue Ash City Man-ager David Waltz said. “Ican’t emphasize enoughwhat a dedicated volun-teer Debbie is for our Sis-ter City program; shereally puts in the time.”

It’s important to notethat the translator respon-sibilities for these col-laborations are non-stop.UC Blue Ash dean CadyShort-Thompson, who

also participated in the re-cent trip to Ilmenau, re-called how Debbie was al-ways working, from earlymorning meetings to latenight events and celebra-

tions. She even jumped into translate a critical dis-cussion by representa-tives in the German Par-liament when the groupwas taking a tour of the

government buildings. “It was during the refu-

gee crisis that was grip-ping much of Europe andDebbie helped us under-stand what was being dis-cussed and the importantdecisions being consid-ered by the German lead-ers. It was fascinating,”Short-Thompson said.

Page has helped devel-op the education connec-tion between the two cit-ies by building a strongrelationship between UCBlue Ash and IlmenauTechnical University. Shecreated an exchange pro-gram between the schoolsand from 2001-2010 she ar-ranged for UC Blue Ashstudents to travel to Ger-many on five different oc-casions and coordinated avisit to Cincinnati forTechnical University stu-

dents three times. “These experiences

were life-changing for allthe students. They alsocreated a bond within thegroups, and with me. Westill keep in touch,” saysPage.

While the exchangeprogram stalled when UCswitched from quarters tosemesters in 2012, Pageplans to continue herwork supporting the Sis-ter City program, both inGermany and here athome.

“It’s been a great expe-rience that brings togeth-er my passions for traveland education,” Page said.“It’s nice to see all thecommonalities betweenIlmenau and Blue Ash,and I cherish the friend-ships I have made alongthe way.”

Skills translate well at home and overseas

Professor Debbie Page considers the English translation of adeclaration in German during a recent visit to Ilmenau,Germany, Blue Ash’s sister city.

The American CancerSociety recommends that

women have a mammo-gram every year startingat age 40. Screening mam-mograms are usually acovered benefit with mostinsurance carriers.

Expert radiologistsread all mammogramsand because a second lookcan mean a secondchance, we double-checkall mammograms with theR2 ImageChecker, a com-puter-aided detection sys-tem that detects 23.4 per-cent more breast cancerthan mammographyalone.
