His aunt, Mary Schneider isa member of the group and shebrought a quilted thank younote to her nephew at a recentfamily picnic and reunion: AQuilt of Valor.

The Quilts of Valor Founda-tionwas started inSeaford,Del-aware, by the mother of a de-ployedsoldier in Iraqwhowant-edtoseeto it thatreturningwar-riorswerewelcomedhomewiththe love and gratitude they de-served.

Her foundation makes war-time quilts, called Quilts of Val-or thatshehopedwouldbeatan-gible reminder of an Ameri-can’s appreciation and grati-tude.

Since 2003, QOVF has be-comeanationalgrassrootscom-munity service effort, connect-ing the home-front with ourwarriors and veterans.

A Quilt of Valor is a lap-sizedpatriotic-themed quilt awardedat many different levels: they

may go to military hospitalswhere chaplains award them toservicemembers; theremay beawards of quilts to entire ser-vice units returning from de-ployments; they may be award-ed at VA’s or awarded individ-ually. As of August 2014, therehave been more than 100,000quilts awarded to servicemem-ber and veterans.

Carl Schneider, a veteran ofthe Ohio Lima Co., was injuredin a roadside blast in Afghani-stan in 2005. Schneider, a 2001graduate of La Salle HighSchool, enlisted in the U.S. Ma-rine CorpsReserves on Sept. 11,2001, just two hours before thetragic events of that day.

He suffered third-degreeburns on his hands, arms andface in the explosion. Followinga long recovery with multiplesurgeries, he earned his mas-ter’s degree in occupationaltherapy in 2012, and is puttinghis recovery experiences togood use.

“Oneday Idiscovered the li-quor cabinet,” he said. “I wascurious, young. There was asense of adventure, a sense ofdoing something I saw olderkids doing.”

By the timehewas12-years-old, he saidhewasaneverydaydrinker.

“I enjoyed the effects pro-duced by alcohol. I wanted tofeel that all the time,” he said.

“It’s a disease that latcheshold of people, and it doesn’t

take long. It’s fast.”His addiction to alcohol

soon led to drug abuse, and Lu-cas said he startedusing opioidprescription painkillers whenhewas13-years-old, whether itwas Vicodin, Percocet or Oxy-Contin.

“I never found a drug I

didn’t enjoy,” he said. “The opi-ates have a really addictive na-ture to them,bothmentallyandphysically. Your body becomesdependent on opiates.”

Theprescriptionpainkillersdid the trick for a while, but hesaid there came a day when hedidn’t have any more pills andhe began experiencing symp-toms of withdrawal.

That’s when a friend sug-gestedhe tryheroin as away to“get well.”

Kenneth Goodin cannever again be a teacher.And he’s going to prison.

Goodin, 28, pleadedguilty Thursday to at-tempted felonious as-sault, reduced from theoriginal charge of sexualbattery.

Goodin agreed toserve one year in prisonand permanently sur-render his teaching li-cense.Thatsentencewillbe imposed Oct. 8 byHamilton County Com-mon Pleas Court JudgeBeth Myers.

Goodin, who resignedin June after the allega-tions arose, was a math

teacher whoalso coachedsoccer andbowling atNorthwestHigh.

He wasaccused ofan inappro-priate rela-

tionship with a studentMay 16, something heinitially denied to policeand then confessed.

One of Goodin’s con-cerns when dealing withthe student was tellingher they couldn’t com-municate via text mes-sage because that’s howGoodin’s wife caughthim engaging in a previ-ous relationship.

The incident with the

student was exposed be-cause the student sharedan electronic tablet withher mother, who saw in-appropriate messagesbetween her 18-year-olddaughter and Goodin.

He’s the third North-west Local School Dis-trict teacher to be con-victed in the last year af-ter being accused of sex-ual contact orinappropriate relation-ships with students.

Colerain High teach-er Julie Hautzenroederand Northwest Highteaching assistant Bran-don Lampley also wentto prison. She has sincebeen released; he’s serv-ing a four-year sentence.

Lucas, who is now so-berandworksasachem-ical dependency coun-selor for the AlcoholismCouncil of Greater Cin-cinnati and at the long-term recovery programat the Prospect House inPriceHill, sharedhissto-ry with school leadersand community mem-bers gathered for a localheroin prevention sum-mit at Mount St. JosephUniversity Sept. 17.

The summit was initi-

ated by the OakHills Lo-cal School District, andco-sponsored by theMount and the DelhiTownship and GreenTownship police depart-ments in an effort to findsolutions for combatingthe opiate abuse andher-oin problem affectingthe community.

Event speakers in-cluded Hamilton CountyJudge Jon Sieve, Hamil-ton County Coroner Dr.Lakshmi Sammarco andOhio Attorney GeneralMike DeWine.

“The reality of heroinaddiction and overdosedeath is a public healthcrisis in our state and inour community,” OakHills SuperintendentTodd Yohey said.

“The solutions to thisproblem lie with all of usin our community. No

one segment can solvethis problem on theirown. It is toobigandtimeis not on our side. Weneed a full-on assault,with all of us working to-gether,beforewestart tosee results.”

Lucas said using her-oinwas funandprovideda good high, but then theconsequences came.

His physical depen-dence on the drugcausedhimto losehis jobas an electrician. To getmoney to feed his addic-tion, he started stealingfrom family members.

“I knew stealing andtaking things from peo-ple was not OK. I knew Iwascausingharmtopeo-pleandIwashurtingoth-ers, but I needed thisdrug,” he said.

GREENTWP.—Local po-lice departments have as-sisted one another fordecades, but sharing ser-vices has become evenmore important latelydueto tighter budgets and in-creased crime.

The police depart-ments in neighboringWest Side communitiesGreen Township and Del-hi Township have a longhistoryofworking togeth-er, and both departmentshave strengthened thatpartnership in recentyears.

To show his agency’sappreciation of the con-tinued cooperation it re-

ceives from the GreenTownship Police Depart-ment, Delhi Township Po-lice Chief Jim Howarthstopped by the GreenTownship trustees meet-ing Sept. 8 to presentGreen Township PoliceChief Bart West a plaqueexpressing Delhi’s grati-tude.

“I wanted to acknowl-edge the fact our depart-ments do work closely to-gether and share ser-vices,”Howarth said. “It’ssomething we’ve done foryears, but we wanted tolet people know this is notsomething new and we’llcontinue to do it.”

West said the depart-ments have added to theirshared services in the

past few years – conduct-ing dual training sessions,responding to calls foreach other, assisting eachother with investigationsand collaborating onschool safety issues in theOak Hills Local SchoolDistrict.

“It’s a very good part-nership,” he said. “Wehave good partners withall of our neighbors, in-cluding Cheviot, ColerainTownship and the city ofCincinnati.”

Howarth said the de-partments share every-thing from equipment topersonnel, and they fre-

quently share informa-tion about criminal sus-pects with one another.

“We work with GreenTownship on a daily ba-sis,” he said. “It’s beenvery beneficial. Crimi-nals don’t have borders.”

He envisions both de-partments sharing ser-vices for many years tocome and said they are al-ways looking for ways toimprove shared services.

West added, “We try totake advantage of sharedservices whenever wecan to keep costs as lowaspossible.”

KKK fliers in GreenTownship

A group claiming to beassociated with the KKKdistributed fliers in aGreen Township neigh-borhood last week, leav-ing some residents con-cerned.

The fliers, some ofwhich delivered an anti-immigration message,came in envelopsstamped with the words“wake up.”

“Our communitymem-bershaveno tolerance forthis kind of stuff,” said Lt.Jim Vetter of GreenTownship police. “Wedon’t want it in our com-munity. We hope theydon’t come back.”

Vetter said police arelooking out for reports ofanticipatedhatecrimesorother issues, but therehavebeenno threats asso-ciated with the fliers.

He said the fliers,

which apparently camefromagroup insoutheast-ern Indianaclaiming tobeassociated with the KKK,were probably nothingmore than rhetoric.

“This tends to happenonce every couple ofyears. I know five or sixyears ago we had anotherone,” he said. “It seemsthese groups will ... comeoutonenightandput themout and disappear, neverto be seen again.”

Vetter said police havenot received anymore re-ports about the flierssince theyappeared in thesouthernGreen Townshipneighborhood last week.

GREEN TWP. — In theeight years since the dev-astating loss of theirdaughter,MarkandMissyMeinhardt have madegreat strides in raisingawareness and money toend pediatric brain can-cer.

The Green Townshipcouple has raised nearly$400,000 for brain tumorresearch at CincinnatiChildren’s Hospital Medi-cal Center, but Missy saidtheir mission is not com-plete.

“There is just such alack of funding for re-search,” she said. “Ourwork is not done. We havea long way to go still.”

The Meinhardt familyandWest Side communitywill come together onceagain for the Sophie’s An-gel Run, a 5K run, walkand kid’s fun run MarkandMissyfoundedin2007to celebrate the life oftheir youngest daughterand raise funds for Cin-cinnati Children’s.

The eighth annualSophie’s Angel Run be-gins at 1 p.m. Sunday,Sept. 28, at St. JudeChurch in Bridgetown.The benefit run is held inconjunction with the St.Jude Parish Oktoberfest.

“It’s a celebration ofher life and the lives ofother children who arefacing the battle or havefaced the battle,” Missysaid.

Sophia Grace Mein-hardt, who was calledSophie by her family, wasjust shy of turning 18-months-old when doctorsdiscovered she had a rarebrain tumor. She died inAugust 2006 while under-going surgery to removethe tumor.

Although they wereoverwhelmed by grief,the Meinhardts chose toturn their family tragedyinto something worth-while that would keep thememory of Sophie aliveand help change the out-come for other childrendiagnosed with brain tu-mors.

“As parents, we be-came determined to dowhateverwe could to pre-vent other families fromsuffering this devastatingdiagnosis,” Missy said.

Since the run’s incep-tion, they have raisedmore than$397,000 for re-search at Cincinnati Chil-dren’s. The run has alsoraised $20,000 for theSophie Meinhardt Memo-rial Scholarship Fund,which benefits studentsattending St. Jude, OurLady of Visitation and St.Aloysius Gonzaga.

After their daughter’sdeath, Mark and Missymet with her doctors andlearned her brain tumorwas a very rare and ag-gressive tumor thatgrows rapidly within oneto two months. It has noknown causes or cures,and even if doctors wouldhave been able to removeit, the tumor would havegrown back immediately.

Missy said the moneythey donate to CincinnatiChildren’s specificallyfunds pediatric brain tu-mor research conducted

by Dr. Lionel Chow andDr. Ronald Waclaw. Theresearch is in the preclin-ical testing phase, and theMeinhardts have made afive-year commitment todonate at least $50,000each year to the researchproject.

“Words cannot de-scribe what it felt likewhen the doctors told usthat Sophie had a brain tu-mor,” she said.

“Noparentshouldhaveto go through what wewent through and certain-ly no child should have tosuffer from this disease.The only way to end thisdisease is to support re-search to find treatmentsand hopefully one day tofind a cure.”

Sally Kolks, who isMark Meinhardt’s sisterand has helped organizethe run from the very be-ginning, said the supportthey receive from thecommunity is tremen-dous.

“It’s been so heart-warming and reaffirmingto see how the run hasgrown each year,” shesaid. “People really re-spond to it, and their sup-port for the run and ourefforts has been amaz-ing.”

She saidherniece’s lifewas brief, but her legacyis lasting.

“Sophie’s death wastragic, but her life wasnot,” Kolks said. “The runis a testament to that. Shemade such an impact onthe community.”

Sept. 8-14.Bergmann, a Monfort

Heights resident, asked that in-spirational posters and quotesbeing displayed throughout thecampus, and teachers were in-vited to post positivemessages.Two chalk paint walls were in-stalled by the maintenance de-partment where students couldshare their feelings about boththeir greatest fears and theirgreatest dreams. These wallswill be used for other purposesthroughout the school year.

Andre Revels can almoststill smell the aromaof popcornon a Friday night.

Dominick Goodman remem-bers the thunder and lightningat Nippert Stadium that de-layed the heavily anticipatedseason opener against Elder.

Brian Lainhart never forgothow his teammate worked on abroken-down bus on the way tothe state championship game inCanton.

And former Colerain foot-ball coach Kerry Coombs? Oneofhisbiggest regrets to thisdayis not staying the night in StarkCounty after the Cardinals wonthe 2004 state title.

Coombs, his wife Holly and12otherplayers rodeabusbackto Cincinnati after the Decem-ber game.

And when the coach arrivedat his Colerain Township home,heandHolly sat at their kitchen

table and read the newspaperarticlesabout thegameat4a.m.Later that day, the communitycelebrated the state title at thehigh school.

The Colerain communitywill look back this fall at the10th anniversary of the school’sonly state football title – the2004 Division I champion Car-dinals (15-0).

“The best team ever – nodoubt,” said Lainhart, a juniordefensive back in 2004. “... Idon’t see another team match-ing up with us.”

Colerain has scheduled a2004 team reunion for halftimeof the Sept. 19 home gameagainst Fairfield. As of Thurs-day afternoon, 30 members ofthe team had confirmed theirattendance. Coombs, now anOhio State assistant, will likelybe a last-minute decision basedon his schedule with the Buck-eyes, according toColerain ath-letic director Dan Bolden.

Coombs, who is the Ohio

State cornerbacks coach andspecial teams coordinator, re-members leading that Colerain2004 squad like it was yester-day.

“When people started talk-ing about it being 10 years I amthinking you have to be kid-ding,” Coombs said.

The 2004 Cardinals were nojoke.

In fact, TheEnquirer report-ed in 2004 that Colerain ranksamong the greatest teams inCincinnati prep history.

Colerain scored 46.3 pointsper game and allowed just 6.5,according to The Enquirer’sTom Groeschen.

Colerain defeated CantonMcKinley 50-10 in the state fi-nal Dec. 4, 2004, at Fawcett Sta-dium – the Bulldogs’ home ven-ue.

Coombs, 52, lobbied for an-other site leading up to the Sat-urday night game, but wasn’tsuccessful. Canton McKinleyasked if Colerain wanted its

home locker room. The Cardi-nals refused.

Coombs can still recall de-tails of the itinerary that week-end. He remembers arriving atFawcett at 5 p.m. Saturday andbeing nervous.

The state final was the firsttime the team was on a charterbus. The team hadn’t traveledovernight before. There werethe hotel arrangements andsimply being four hours awayfrom home.

“Tome itwas huge,”Coombsremembered. “I kept thinking,‘Don’t screw this up.’ ”

Adjacent to the Pro FootballHall of Fame, senior quarter-back Goodman shined at Faw-cett Stadium after the Cardi-nals trailed early while fum-bling five times and losingthree. Colerain trailed 3-0 earlyin the game, but then the tideturned.

“We just had to realize it wasOK for us towin,” Coombs said.

Goodman, who later starred

atUC, rushed for a division rec-ord 259 yards and four touch-downs. Thenerveswere settledand theCardinalsputonadomi-nant performance.

“Then we just took off,” saidRevels,whowasaColerain line-backer. “The offense hit theirstride. Goody (Goodman) puton his Superman cap and start-ed making it happen.”

Said Coombs: “(Goodman)was more special than I real-ized before he started playing.Once he started playing, hewasa different dude on that field.”

The Cardinals set recordsfor the most points scored andthe largestmargin of victory inthe big-school title game.(Moeller and Mentor broke therecord for most points in theCrusaders’ 55-52win in the2013state final.)

Colerain, which outscoredits five postseason opponents191-22, also set a division finalsrecord with 463 yards rushing.■

MONFORTHEIGHTS—The LaSalle High School football teamfinds itself inaveryfamiliarpo-sition.

The Lancers are 3-0 for thefifth time in six years datingback to 2009, and are preparingfor a matchup with Fort WayneBishopDwenger in an all too fa-miliar spot.

Coach NateMoore’s Lancersovercame a seven-point deficitin the fourthquarteragainst theSaints before losing 31-24 inovertime last season. That lossspiraled theLancers’ seasonoutof control and was the begin-ning of a seven-game losingstreak that ended Moore’s firstseason as coach at La Salle at3-7.

Sowhat’sdifferentabout thisseason?

“We’ve got a group of veryclose guys and I thinkwe’ve gotsome great leadership in oursenior class,” Moore said afterhis team beat Princeton 41-0,Sept. 12 to improve to 13-1against Greater Miami Confer-ence opponents since 2005.

“Just like anybody else in thissituation, we’re going to leanheavily on those guys. Thoseguys have to lead the way. Theyhave to show the young guyshow to do it. They have to takeevery rep, every drill, everypractice, seriously. We have agreat challenge ahead of us inBishop Dwenger.”

The Lancer offense is roll-ing, scoring 40points ormore in

eachof its first threegamesandis averaging a whopping 43points per game this season. LaSalle hasn’t punted inninequar-ters, dating back to the thirdquarter of a 40-21 win overneighborhood-rival, Colerain,and is yet to turn the ball overthis season.

While junior quarterback,Nick Watson, is 13-of-19 for 324yards and three touchdownsand zero interceptions, theLancers have really done theirdamage on the ground. Thethree-headed monster of juniorJeremy Larkin, sophomore Ja-rell White and sophomoreChristian Turner have com-bined for 932 yards this seasonand are averaging 9.7 yards percarry. White blew up for 136yards on just six carries againstPrinceton, while Larkin wentoff for 288 on 28 carries in thewin over the Cardinals. Larkinhas nine total touchdowns onthe season, while White hascrossed the goal line five times.

“We had a good idea of howgood they could be,” Mooresaid, “butyouneverreallyknow

COLERAIN TWP. — Winningis starting to become the normfor theNorthwestHighSchoolfootball team. They may goabout it in a different way thisseason.

The Knights - currentlyranked No. 7 in The EnquirerDivision II area coaches’ poll -averaged 37.5 points per gameover the last two seasons, butafter graduating their toppasser, leading rusher and toptwo leading wide receivers,emphasis has been placed ondefense for the 2014 season.Through the first three gamesof the season the Knights (2-1)are allowing their opponentsjust nine points per game.

“We had some playmakerson offense last year and attimes couldn’t stop the otherguys,” Northwest head coachNate Mahon said. “It’s kind ofthe inverse this year. That’swhy when we evaluated our-selves before the season wedecided to bulk-up on defense,do what we can do to playwithpeople and then take someshots on offense. We did losesome firepower, but I’mhappywith the way things have goneso far.”

Thedefense is led lineback-er Brandon Schon and return-ing first-team All-SouthwestOhio Conference defensivelineman Julian Daniels and

senior defensive back ShaneBaldwin.

Mahon also made the deci-sion to toughen up the sched-ule this season. The Knightsadded Anderson, Troy and LaSalle to the schedule in placeof McNicholas, Amelia andWilmington – who left theSWOC after the 2013-14 sportsseason. Mahon’s hope is withthe beefed up schedule he canget his kids playing in moreplayoff-like atmosphereswhile giving his team a betterchance of reaching the play-offs for the third consecutiveseason.

“So far I feel like we’re in agood situation,” Mahon said.“Our goal is to make the play-offs and I feel we’re situatedfor a good chance at it. I thinksevenor eightwinsgets us in.”

One thing that could costthe Knights is poor execution.Theoffense isyoungandmadesome key mistakes in a 14-9loss to TecumsehHigh School,Sept. 12. So far this season theKnights have 21 penalties for226 yards, according to theSWOC website. Comparative-ly, their opponents have justsix penalties for 60 yards.

“We had back-to-back falsestarts on the goal line, get nopoints and then lose by fivepoints (to Tecumseh),” Mahonsaid. “That’sahardpill to swal-low. We had a couple costlymistakes where we didn’t exe-cute on the final drive.”

until you get out (on thefield). You tweak thingsalways in the offseasonand we tweaked things tobe pretty good up front.We thought we were tal-ented in the backfield andto the kids’ credit they’replaying well and execut-ing.”

The ground-game suc-cess only fuels the run-ning backs to push eachother to another level.

“We come in every dayand push each other andwork in the weight room.That’s really it,” Whitesaid after running all overhis former school.

Don’t overlook the LaSalle defense. After giv-ing up 21 points to Cole-rain, the Lancer defensehas posted back-to-backshutouts and has forcednineturnovers thisseason(four fumbles, five inter-ceptions). Corner back

Avery Larkin leads theLancers with two inter-ceptions, while lineback-er Kyle Farwick leads theteam with two sacks.What makes all this moreimpressive is that they’redoing it without North-western University com-mit and star defensivetackle, Jordan Thompson,who’s been out all seasonwith a slight tear in hismeniscus.His return is onaweek-to-week status, ac-cording to Moore.

“We’ve got good kidsthat do what they’recoached to do and they’replaying hard,” Mooresaid. “They are executingright now, they believe ineach other and they’replayingforeachother. I’mreally proud of themrightnow.”

The team is currentlythe No. 3 team in the firstAssociatedPressDivisionII Ohio state poll andNo.1in The Enquirer DivisionII coaches’ poll.

MOUNT HEALTHY —Who knows how yourteam will react after suf-fering a heartbreakingloss.

Will it crush your pro-gram or will it fuel yourprogram to strive forgreater things?

For theMount HealthyHigh School football pro-gram, who blew a14-pointfourth-quarter lead toeventual Division II statechamps, Loveland, in theregional finals last sea-son, it was heartbreak atfirst, but now it’s some-thing much greater.

“I think it has becomethe idea of ‘we really arethat good and this pro-gram can be that good,’”head coach Arvie Crouchsaid before practice Sept.17. “They know what ittakes towin nowandwhatit takes to be one of theelite teams and that’swhat we’re trying to do.”

The Owls (3-0) are offto a great start, havingscored 23 or more points

in each of their first threegames, while holding itslast two opponents to sev-en points apiece. Crouchis in his sixth season ascoach of the Owls andknows expectationsaround the program aremuch different now thathis team is the two-timedefending SouthwestOhio Conference champi-onsand took thebest teamin Division II in the stateto the final buzzer.

“We expect to win,” he

said. “There isanexpecta-tion and I would say ourfootball IQ has gotten bet-ter. I think that’s due inpart toourcontinuitywithour coaches, and myselfand the kids being in ourprogram and understand-ing what we’re doing andwhat we’re trying toachieve.”

Those raised expecta-tions and the winningmentality can be feltthroughout the program.

Cutting throughmental illnessprejudices

I was very pleased toread the guest columnfromPastorMichelleTori-gian (“Reframing mentalillness and faith” in theSept. 10 Northwest Press).The issue ofmental illnessdoesn’t get enough atten-tion. When it is discussed,it isofteninanegativecon-text, i.e. inrelation tocrim-inal behavior.

What Pastor Torigianadvocates is what is mostneeded: understandingand compassion for thoseexperiencing mental ill-ness. She correctly pointsoutthestigmathatstillsur-roundsmental illness.Andshe shoots down the erro-

neous notions that thementally ill are weak orflawed.

Pastor Torigian recog-nizes mental illness forwhat it is: amedical condi-tion that is most appropri-ately treated by doctorsand mental health special-ists. This may sound likecommon sense, but it cutsthrough themost commonprejudices and mistakenbeliefs regarding mentalillness.

I would also like to per-sonally thank Pastor Tori-gian for her considerate,thoughtful column. I hopeit is a sign that the tone ofthe conversation on men-tal illness is changing.

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWill the U.S. eventuallyhave to send combattroops (“boots on theground”) to fight ISIS inIraq and Syria?

Every week we ask readers aquestion they can reply to viaemail. Send your answers [email protected] with Ch@troom inthe subject line.

I grew up very near ColerainTownship.

Since I was young, I have lis-tened to people talk about Col-erain and I have grown accus-tomed to hearing the Colerainstory as the story of a communitywith a golden past but whosefuture is not as bright. You hearsensationalized accounts of crimethat distort the reality that Col-erain is a very safe place to raisea family. You hear stories about“that house down the street” thathas sat vacant or been foreclosedon.

Frankly, I’m tired of hearingthat story and I’m proud of ourefforts to write the new story ofColerain. It’s story we can all beproud of and one we should allwant to be a part of. Let me tellyou the story of a community inwhich certain areas may havetrended in the wrong directionfor a time until it banded togetherto make a difference and changeits trajectory. Let me tell you thestory of Groesbeck.

There is a street in Groesbeckwhere the reports of crime werenot sensationalized. It was bad.There were two murders on thesame block – two of only three inthe township that year. Calls forparamedics to revive people whohad overdosed on heroin were

commonplace.Buildings were insuch disrepairthat flooded base-ments causedfamilies wholived in them tomove into tents inthe back yard. Itwas a state ofaffairs that waswholly unaccept-able.

The township took unprece-dented action and the resultshave been incredible. Where 13buildings once served as dens ofiniquity and crime, the scene isnow park-like. By bringing everytownship resource to bear onspecific area and through part-nerships with Hamilton County,the Port Authority, private devel-opers and the Cincinnati Met-ropolitan Housing Authority, wewere able to eliminate a center ofcrime and blight and will ulti-mately build in its place a housingcomplex to serve our older resi-dents. We changed the story onJonrose Avenue.

We are changing the story inneighborhoods across the town-ship. In neighborhoods likeGroesbeck, White Oak, North-brook and Pleasant Run we arepreparing a three prong strategy

for revitalization.First, we need to make strate-

gic investments in infrastructure.Residents and visitors deserve todrive down best-in-class roads toget to their best-in-class neigh-borhood. By now it is no secretthat the loss of the local govern-ment fund and the estate tax hasseverely hampered our ability topay for road improvements.

This November, residents willhave the opportunity to vote forthe Joint Economic DevelopmentZone which will provide a fundingsource for infrastructure im-provements without raising taxeson Colerain Township residents.The revenue generated by theJEDZ will be used to rebuild ourroads and add value to our neigh-borhoods whose streets are crum-bling.

Second, we are working hardto continue to bring top-tier com-mercial, retail and restaurants toour business districts and to cre-ate an atmosphere within whichour local businesses can thrive.

Finally, we will be dogged inour pursuit of excellence withinour community. It means toomuch.

We are rewriting the story ofColerain. Let’s tell it together.

Geoff Milz is the director of planningand zoning for Colerain Township.

Rewriting the narrativein Colerain Township

GeoffMilzCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

There’s a new principal atSayler Park Elementary. JamieSowders replaced Gary Vale, whoretired in June. The former assis-tant principal from the PrincetonCity School District plans to takethe school to new heights.

“To be the best school in thedistrict” is the mission statement,but he doesn’t like that. He wantsto reach higher and make it the

best school in thestate.

“They havesome greatthings going onhere,” Sowderssaid. It is alreadya good school, sohe plans to keepthe status quountil the end ofthe year, then hewill know if any-thing needs

changing. The Colerain Townshipresident began his teaching ca-reer at Delhi Middle School as aremedial reading teacher in 1999.Besides Delhi Middle School hetaught at Goshen High School,Northwest, High School, SummitAcademy for Special Needs Kidsand Hillcrest Training School forconvicted felons.

He saw a lot of successes atboth schools there as the lightbulb went off in the studentseyes.

“I really enjoyed it. SummitAcademy did some pretty specialthings for their student popula-tion. I left because I wanted tosee if those things worked in atraditional setting.”

He will be trying some ofthose things at Sayler Park. Theschool store and the behavioralawards at Sayler Park are someof the things already in place thatthey did at Summit Academy.

He would like to see more

hands-on learning. A ScienceClub is a good way to reachhands-on learners.

“If you give kids the opportu-nity to be creative and allowthem to create their own thingsyou really see blossoming,” hesaid.

Another program to bring outcreativity in students is the Sci-ence, Technology, EngineeringandMath program (STEM). Someof Cincinnati’s schools are set upthat way. Other schools employsome of the STEM techniques.Robot clubs are another way toincorporate science in the classroom. He has seen robot clubswhere the students built robotsout of Lego’s and then pro-grammed them.

When he was an assistant prin-cipal at Princeton, the schoolpartnered with businesses in thecommunity. Local businesses sentrepresentatives to the class room.They told the students what theoutcome of their project shouldbe and gave them the materials

and let the students figured outhow to get there.

Sowders wants to get parentsmore involved with the school,because teachers can’t do italone. He believes it takes a vil-lage to educate students. Cincin-nati Public Schools partners witha group called Leadership Schol-ars. The group teaches classes toparents on how to make theschool better. In the eight-weekclasses, parents will learn how toask the tough questions of theteachers and principals at teach-er’s conferences. They will betaught how to read test scoresand how to get their child careerready.

Sowders is looking forward toworking with the seasoned staffand the new staff members thatbring new ideas with them.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2014

Even though social mediaexploded with videos of icebucket challenges this summerto raise awareness for amyo-trophic lateral sclerosis, thevery nature of ALS, also knownas Lou Gehrig’s disease, maystill be unclear.

In short: No treatment. Nocure. In other words, a guaran-teed death sentence.

Rev. Robert K. Denny’s lifework - a bucket list realizedthrough word and deed as pas-tor of the former White OakPresbyterian Church - hashelped shape Colerain Town-ship by nudging it toward aphysically, spirituallyandmen-tally healthy lifestyle. Thatgrateful community has givenhim another kind of “bucketlist” - people who did the icebucket challenge for him, gaveto the ALS Association on hisbehalf or pray for him as hefaces the disease.

COLERAIN TWP. — ALSmay have robbedBob Denny of hishearty, boomingvoice, but certainly

not his message of love, faithand hope.

That voice has usheredSteve Foster through morethan a few life’s challenges - hisparents’ death, open heart sur-gery and finding a healthierlifestyle. Bob encouraged Fos-ter and his wife, Anne, to focuson the pride instead of the fearwhen their sons Matt and Benjoined the Marines.

Shortly before Denny tookthe ice bucket challenge, hecalled out Foster to do thesame.

“There are very few peopleon this planet I would do thisfor. Bob Denny is one of them.Hemight be the only one,” Fos-ter said, just before the ice hithis head.

“Bob has been challengingmeas longas Ihaveknownhim.He challenges my beliefs onmatters of the spirit, politics,cultural, social, economics, andof course, athletics. When I amtalking with Bob, it is like I amthe only one in the roomworthyof his focus. He challenges myopinions in a way that lets meknow he is respectful of andvalues my thoughts and feel-ings. I have come to realize thatBobDennyearns respect by re-specting others - simply be-cause of who they are.”

Tobe accurate, the reverendsaid he doesn’t look at life interms of goals achieved andwhat’s left to do, though if hehad to pick something he’d liketo still do - he said through awritten statement via his son,David - he would “live to be100.”

Rev. Denny and the formerBetty Bjorkgren boast fourkids - Bob, Kristin, Karen andDavid - nine grandchildren andthree great-grandchildren, agroup that comes to theirWhiteOak house after church everySunday. He has chosen to focushis “very blessed” life on faith,family and friends.

FaithDavid said the reverend has

been a Presbyterian ministerfor more than 50 years. Hislongest stretch - 30 years -started when he and 20 otherfaithful met in a house on Jes-sup Road and eventuallyopened shop in 1970 as WhiteOak Presbyterian Church, nowcalled Northwest CommunityChurch. After his retirement,heministered part time in Indi-ana for about 10 years.

“He didn’t micromanage; he

put the infrastructure in placeand let the church run with it,”David said, adding that beforethe building was complete,early services at ColerainHighSchool included live farm ani-mals for the nativity.

In August, Steve and CookieCarlson, among others,planned a reunion of his seniorhigh youth groups, where 50-60attendees witnessed the rever-end’s ice bucket challenge. TheFacebook group page devotedto this gathering are full ofcomments about Denny’s im-pact on them as he helped themthrough their family trials,marriages and more.

On that page, MaribethRichter, whose uncle died ofALS, said she took on the role ofsenior high youth group leadershortly after she joined WhiteOak 35 years ago. She recalledonce asking Denny who takescare of him while he’s takingcare of everyone else. His re-ply: “The entire church takescare of me.”

“He is a very loving, caringperson,” she said. “These buck-et challenges are just what hedeserves now. He surelydoesn’t deserve theALSbut thenumerous responses with icewater videos and fundraisingand support for the ALS walkare not a surprise.”

These people grew up in the70s and 80s,whereDennyorga-nized Thrilling Thursdays,Wacky Wednesdays, the Seed,breakfasts, mission trips andmore.

“He is anawesomerolemod-el,” said Terri Lischer, whosemother, Donna, is a foundingchurch member. “As teens, hemade us all feel welcome to beourselves...not always an easytask. When I lived out of state,he sentmenotes and carepack-ages. I learned a lot aboutGod’slove and forgiveness fromhim!An amazing man!”

The Running RevAlso in August, Rev. Denny

received the LifetimeAchieve-ment Award from the GreaterCincinnati Running Hall ofFame, facilitated by legendaryLa Salle cross country coach

Frank Russo.Denny enjoyed 40 years of

running in local races andmar-athons, including New Yorkand Chicago, his favorite. Hisfour-mile-a-day habit acquaint-edCheviotRoadmotoristswithhis white, curly hair, if not hisname.

Russo’s first memory of the“Running Rev” was seeing himrun with his dog Sammy afterRusso’s cross country practiceat White Oak Middle School.Denny later became motivatorand inspiration as son David’s,Frank Russo’s and his brotherRon’s Colerain Flying Cardi-nalswon the first andonly statechampionship in 1978.

“There’s noquestion that theRunningRevhad a tremendousimpact on the Colerain runningcommunity,” Frank Russowrote, of why he nominatedDenny for the award. “In a hyp-er-competitive program sur-roundedbynever-ending inten-sity and a ‘nothingbut a state ti-tle’ expectation, the Rev.brought a calming, positivelight to our meet day.”

Denny passed out CharmsSweet Pops suckers to the run-ners after their races and, dur-ing races, would pop up at vari-ous places to offer smiles andpositive comments.

With the love of runningcoming from his father, Wil-liam Lesley Denny, Rev. Dennyhonored him by organizing theDenny Memorial in 1975, ahandicap race that allowedslower runners a head start.(Daughters Kris and Karen,non-runners, ran things behindthe scenes). Russo said the Col-erain runners and alumnilooked forward to this race ev-ery year - a program tradition -until it ended in 1996.

The samesort of enthusiasmcarried over to the Universityof Evansville team, where hesupported David in the samemanner. Other Denny runnersinclude: Brian, Evansville; Jef-frey, Ohio Northern; and Josh,Colerain.

Ironically, an August 2012face-first fall while running onCheviot Road led to Denny’seventual ALS diagnosis in Feb-

ruary 2013. While ALS can af-fect people differently, Den-ny’s version has limited hislimbs and speech.David said atlast year’s Thanksgiving Dayrace, the reverend expressedthe worst part of his new ill-ness, “I miss the privilege ofrunning.”

FriendsTim Nolan has never heard

Denny preach a sermon, buthe’s heard about his impact andadmires how he’s coping withthis disease. In short, that’swhyhe let themdumpicewateron his head and donated on hisbehalf.

He learned of his naturethrough the woman he’s datingJill Pepple, who “thinks theworld” of Denny for his sup-port when she lost her late hus-band, Scott, to cancer.

Nolan made some chickensoup for Betty when she suf-fered from a respiratory ail-ment a few years ago, but hethinks Bob got more of it thanshe did.

“I love to make that chickennoodle soup for them when theweather is cold. They love toeat it except that Bob cannoteat it anymore, because of hisdeath sentence,” Nolan said.

Others among the rever-end’s ice bucket list, accordingto David, include NorthwestLocal School District boardmemberPamDetzel and super-intendentAndrewJackson, andBob Szurgot, David’s friendwho saw a video of Bob that in-spired him to take the ice buck-et challenge again.

FamilyThe entire Denny crew has

vacationed to Emerald Isle,N.C., during the same week for24 straight years, includingthis summer. His focus on fam-ily and running was born fromthe atmosphere his father cre-ated with his family of fourbrothers and a sister.

“I was encouraged to attendchurch and the conscious com-mitment of faith in God’s sonJesus,” the reverend saidthrough David. “Growing up ina family that knew how to loveprovided me with encourage-ment, acceptance, andcomfort.Iwant to share thatwith others,andsodoesmycurrent family.”

Granddaughter Christina,Bob’s daughter, always hasfound“PopPop”and“Mugga’s”

presence a comfort to her -whether it’s getting a thumbsup from the smiling couple ather school events, taking fish-ing trips, making ice creamruns or riding in golf carts.

“It always seemed like ev-eryone knew this man, and stillknows him,” she said. “Onething I always remember abouthim and will never forget is hisvoice, his deep, soothing voice.Hearing him speak so enthusi-astically in church and singingso joyfullyduringhymns is justone of the best things my earscould hear. There is just com-plete sincerity in his praises to-wards the Lord and it is just abeautiful sound all around.”

Of course, if you ask the rev-erend, his muse is his bride of63 years. Bob and Betty turned84 within days of each other,Sept. 14 and 16 respectively.

“You don’t enjoy a ministrylike we have known without astrong right arm,” Dennywrote on his dry-erase board,“and she is my wife, Betty.”

Betty, who is losing her eye-sight, lendsher armsandhandseach day as they struggle deal-ing with their circumstances.Besides losing his voice, he’stube-fed four times a day andhis hands are getting weaker,which means communicationvia writing can be a chore.

The support group they at-tend in Hyde Park Health Cen-ter once a month has been agodsend to them as they ma-neuver through their ALS chal-lenges.

“I married a very talkativeman,”Betty said, “and that partof it is gone.”

SEPTEMBER 24, 2014 • NORTHWEST PRESS • B3LIFE

This has been a busyweek. I was a featuredpresenter at MotherEarth News Fair in Penn-sylvania and my talk wason Bible herbs and foodswith anti-aging qualities.

One of my topics wasbread since wheat was

one of thefirst, if notthe first,crop plant-ed backthen. Ayoungwomancame up tome after-wards andasked if Iever made

challah, the honey eggbread. Yes, I told her, Ihave. “Would you sendme your recipe?” sheasked. Yes, I told her, Iwould.

As I write this, we’re aweek away from RoshHashanah, the JewishNew Year, of which chal-lah is an important food.We just got a quart ofhoney from our beekeep-er, so today I’m sharing areally good recipe forchallah. It’s adapted fromJoan Nathan’s, an experton Jewish cuisine.

ChallahGrandson, Jack, loves

this sweeter type eggbread. A wonderful giftfrom the kitchen, as well.

This makes 2 loaves.Some people like tosprinkle it with poppy orsesame seeds beforebaking.

2-1/2 cups warmwater,110-115 degrees

1 tablespoon activedry yeast (not rapid rise)

1/2 cup honey1/4 cup Canola oil3 large eggs, room

temperature1 tablespoon salt8 cups unbleached all

purpose flour - I usedKing Arthur brand

Egg wash - 1 or 2whole eggs, beaten untilblended

Sprinkle yeast overwarmwater. On lowspeed, stir in honey, oil,eggs and salt until verywell blended.

Add flour, one cup at atime, beating after each

addition. You may windup having to beat byhand, depending upon thesize of the bowl, if you’reusing a hand or standmixer, etc.

Remove dough tolightly floured surface.Dough will be sticky.Knead until smooth andelastic (like a baby’sbottom, my friend Carolsays) and no longersticky, adding flour a bitat a time as needed. Becareful here - don’t addtoo much or bread will bedry. Cover with dampclean cloth and let riseuntil doubled in bulk - upto 1-1/2 hours or so.

Punch dough downand again place on lightlyfloured surface. Dividein half and knead eachhalf for a fewmore min-utes, adding more flour ifneeded. Again, be carefulhere - add just enoughflour to keep it frombeing sticky.

Divide each half intothirds and roll into ropesabout 1-1/2” wide. Pinchtop ends of each 3 ropestogether. Then, startingfrom the middle, startbraiding, again pinchingends after braiding.Leave as is or curvebraid into a circle andpinch ends together verywell. I pinch and tuckends under.

Spray 2 baking sheetsor use parchment paper.Put braids on. Brush withegg wash. Cover withtowel and let rise untildoubled, about an hour.Preheat oven to 375.

If you want a lac-quered finish, brushgently again with eggwash. Bake for 30-40minutes. If you insertthermometer into centeron bottom, bread willregister 190 degreeswhen done. Or tap it onbottom - it should soundhollow.

Even easier: Thawfrozen bread dough, thendivide in thirds, make 3ropes and follow instruc-tions on label for rising,etc. This bread won’t beas sweet as homemadechallah, but it’s still good.

Hot mulled ciderI can’t believe the

weather has turned cool

enough to enjoy a mug ofhot mulled cider. Whenthe kids were little, wemade cider from ourorchard apples. Wonder-ful memories of chillyautumn evenings, sittingby the woodstove, sip-ping mulled cider. Ahealthy splash of applebrandy or spiced rumadded brings back prettygood memories, too!

Bring ingredients to agentle boil, then lower toa simmer and cook, cov-ered, about 10 minutes orso. Strain, add brandy,and enjoy.

1 qt. apple ciderBrown sugar to taste -

start with 3 tablespoons4 whole ea. cloves and

allspice berriesSeveral pinches fresh-

ly ground nutmeg6” cinnamon stick,

This is the time ofyear when many consum-ers hire home improve-ment contractors to fixup items around theirhouse. Before you hire acontractor, you shouldknow there are some whojust take your money andrun.

I received a letterfrom a woman who hireda company to clean herroof and install new win-dows. She paid a $2,000deposit before any workwas done and, unfortu-nately, no work was everdone. Now the firm,which she says, never

orderedthe win-dows,wants tocharge hera restock-ing feeafter shecom-plainedand saidshe wants

her money back.Ohio Attorney General

Mike DeWine says hisoffice has received morethan 60 complaints abouthome improvement con-tractors since June. Mostof his complaints involve

asphalt, concrete or pav-ing work. The averageamount of money dis-puted is more than$3,000.

Most of those com-plaints involved shoddyresurfacing of the drive-way, rough spots orcracks in the concrete,improper drainage,driveways not level, andineffective and incom-plete sealing.

To protect yourselfalways check out a con-tractor with the BetterBusiness Bureau to makesure they have a goodrecord and have been in

business for a while. Ifthey’re a member of theBBB so much the betterbecause then the bureaucan mediate any prob-lems you may encounterwith the company.

Make sure you get acopy of the company’sworkers compensationand liability insurancepolicies. If the firmdoesn’t have both policiesto give you, go to anotherfirm.

Avoid paying a lot ofmoney upfront so thecontractor has an in-centive to return and dothe work. I suggest fol-

lowing the CincinnatiHome Remodeling Ordi-nance and limiting yourdown payment to nomore than 10 percent ofthe cost of the job, exceptfor special order items.Never pay more than theamount of work that’sbeen satisfactorily com-pleted.

Make sure the con-tract you receive con-tains the company’sname, address and phonenumber. It should alsostate the start and com-pletion dates of the job.

Under the law youhave three days to cancel

a door-to-door sale. InOhio, the company mustalso give you a writtenright-to-cancel form tomail back. If you don’treceive such a cancella-tion form don’t do busi-ness with the company.Finally, don’t let the com-pany begin any workuntil three days havepassed.

The statistics are frightenin-g…an estimated 5.2 millionAmericans currently affec-ted…the sixth leading cause ofdeath…one inninepersonsoverthe age of 65 to be stricken…thenation’s costliest disease. Thelatest figures regarding Alz-heimer’s disease and its impacton the United States bring aheightened sense of urgency todo something about this grow-ing epidemic.

For many who participate inthe annual Cincinnati/NorthernKentuckyWalk toEndAlzheim-er’s, like Keith M. Mitchell ofForest Park, the numbers areovershadowed by more per-sonal reasons to be involved in

the event.From an early age, Mitchell

saw what Alzheimer’s diseasecan do to the people you love.

His late grandfather, Rufus C.Mitchell, who livedwith the dis-ease for more than a decade,was a decorated member of theTuskegee Airmen in World WarII.

“I got to see directly the im-pact Alzheimer’s has on a fam-ily and specifically on my fa-ther,” Mitchell said. “Watchingthemind go is tough.My grand-father began to show the morerecognizable signs when I waseight years old.When Iwas12, Iwentwithmyfather to thenurs-ing home to visit him and dis-covered that he had no ideawhohewas, let alonewho I ormy fa-ther was.”

Mitchell, a marketing direc-

tor for Stone Financial Retire-ment Planning, serves on theplanningcommittee for theCin-cinnati/Northern KentuckyWalk to End Alzheimer’s.

The Alzheimer’s Associationof Greater Cincinnati is hopingfor thousands of supporters toparticipate in the 2014 Cincin-nati/Northern Kentucky Walkto End Alzheimer’s Saturday,Oct. 4, at Sawyer Point in Cin-cinnati. Registration begins at8:30 a.m. and the walk will startat 10 a.m. The 3.5 mile walkroute will include Newport ontheLeveeand thePurplePeopleBridge.

For more information, or toregister online, visit:

www.alz.org/cincinnati or call800-272-3900.

Serving as the primary na-tional fundraiser for the Alz-heimer’s Association, Walk toEnd Alzheimer’s is an annualevent that brings those affectedby Alzheimer’s disease, familymembers and community to-gether in a show of remem-brance and support.

Proceeds from the walks di-rectly benefit the local pro-grams and services of the Alz-heimer’s Association as well assupport of Alzheimer’s re-search efforts.
