While some some communi-ties in northwest HamiltonCounty work hard to assure re-cycling is widely available forresidents, others rely on per-sonal dedication and volunteer-ism to keep it green.
Forest ParkThe city is so dedicated to
keeping it green, it has a depart-ment dedicated to Environmen-tal Awareness. Wright Gwyn,program manager, says ForestPark residents have a number ofprograms to help them be envi-ronmentally conscious.
Since 2008, the City of ForestPark has contracted withRumpke to service single anddual family households. Thecontract reduced quarterly sol-id waste fees while also reduc-ing Rumpke’s 96-gallon trashwaste-wheeler monthly rentalfees, eliminating large itemfees, and providing a larger re-cycling container for no extracost. A new level of collectionservice was specially developedfor those households that gener-ated less solid waste and active-ly recycle.
Residents can take advan-tage of a large appliance recy-cling program and contact theenvironmental office at 595-5263 to schedule a time for thecity to come to their home topick up an appliance. The citywill collect at no charge a maxi-
mum of two appliances per yearfrom each household. House-holds will be charged $25 for thecollection of any additional ap-pliances.
The city has six communityrecycling drop-off sites are forthe entire Greater Forest ParkArea, not just for Forest Parkresidents. Basically they are forthose who want to participate inrecycling but do not have accessto recycling services. They areopen for use 24 hours a day, ev-ery day.
The facilities are» Forest Park Municipal
Building parking lot, 1201 W.Kemper Road, in the parking lotbehind the Fire Station;
» Forest Chapel, 680 W. Shar-on Road, in the parking lot;
» North Central Branch Li-brary, 11109 Hamilton Ave., inthe back parking lot;
» Winton Woods ElementarySchool, 1501Kingsbury Drive, inthe parking lot;
» Winton Woods Intermedi-ate School, 825 Waycross Roadin the side parking lot;
» Winton Woods High School,1231 W. Kemper Road in theparking lot behind the school.
In addition to recycling thecity offers a number of other en-vironmentally conscious pro-grams.
Gwyn says the city receivesabout $23 for every ton of recy-clables collected. In 2015,$27,019 was raised and reinvest-ed in Forest Park through theseand other environmental pro-grams.
He said about 891 tons of ma-terials were collected for recy-cling, representing a 14.5 per-cent diversion rate. On average,Gwyn said Forest Park house-holds each recycled about 237pounds of material and con-served enough energy to powerevery home in Forest Park forsix days, reducing more green-house gas pollution than if everyhousehold in Forest Park rodetheir bicycles to work for fiveweeks, and saved 8,144 treesfrom being harvested.

dents have curbside recyclingoffered through a contract withRumpke for solid waste collec-tion. Bins are provided and col-

A part of the hill be-tween the Winton Roadexits for eastbound mo-torists slid into the shoul-der of the highway earlierthis year. While it was notimpeding motorists, con-
cern that the slide couldencroach on traffic lanes

ODOT closed the rightlane of eastbound trafficMarch 11to bring in earth-movers to push the dirtand debris back behindthe guardrail.

location determined byusing the percentage oftotal vehicle registrationsby county as provided bythe Ohio Department ofPublic Safety.
All costs in excess ofthe metro park district al-location are paid by thepark district. Funds canbe used for the materialsand labor necessary forconstruction, reconstruc-tion, improvement, re-pair, and maintenance ofpark drives, park roads,park access roads, park-ing lots, and for purchaseand hauling of materials,and for equipment rental.

One of the loveliest things aboutspring is enjoying a proper Englishspring time tea. That’s what I did acouple weeks ago when I presented atthe Boone County Arboretum’s annualEnglish tea.
The tables were all themed and dec-orated individually bymembers of the Arbore-tum. They brought outtheir best china, silverand linen for the event,and the tables ran thegamut of whimsical withgrapevine leaf chargersunder country plates, toelegant with heirloomchina and sparkling crys-tal.
Stephanie Schenk andKathy Bailey had everything orga-nized, from the spring blooms deco-rating the presentation area to the serv-ers, who looked quite like proper Eng-lish women.
The food, made by Donna Wilmhoff,a Union, Kentucky, reader, was as tastyas it was beautiful. Donna and her staffmade six savory items and six sweetitems. Donna told me she’s been doingthe food for the tea for five years andeach year she comes up with 12 differ-ent items. No kidding, every bite I atewas delicious and so beautifully pre-sented.
Donna started in the food businessby taking classes when her oldest sonwas a baby, years ago. “I’ve always hada love of cooking and gardening” Donnatold me. So Donna made a successfulcareer as a caterer and master garden-er. She combines these talents whencooking. You’ll know what I mean whenyou glance at the photo of the delicious,and visually stunning, spring salad in aFrico cup.
Of course, I wouldn’t tease you withjust the photo. Donna has kindly sharedthe recipes for the Frico cup, salad and
champagne dressing.
Notes from readers’ kitchensEmpty tomb bunsTri County reader Meredith B. made
these with her 10-year-old granddaugh-ter. She sent me a photo of her grand-daughter with the biggest smile, hold-ing the buns on a tray. A young momstopped me in the grocery and told meshe made them with her two little boys.“Very fun,” she said.
Mississippi roastSeveral readers responded that they
made this with chuck roast with greatsuccess. “Less expensive than tri-tip.”noted one West side reader.
7-can soup“I was intrigued and thought this
couldn’t possibly work,” said one read-er. She made it, loved it, and took left-overs to work the next day.
Can you help?Braciole made with round steak
and tied with string.Reader Kenny R. lost his recipe
from one of my columns for this. Icouldn’t retrieve the recipe from myfile so if any of you have it, pleaseshare.

After defeating MoreheadState in an NCAA play inbasketball game, euphoricWestern Kentucky studentssinging “ Stand up andCheer” swept out of UK’sMemorial Coliseum in Lex-ington to board nine char-tered buses destined forBowling Green. They werecompletely oblivious to theevening’s madness thatloomed ahead.
Following a rest stop inthe Kentucky Turnpike ser-vice area, the buses con-tinued their journey throughsome very light snow flakesthat soon became a majorsnow event. With the blurredlights of Elizabethtown, Ken-tucky, fading in the distance,everyone began to sense thatthe heavy snowfall portendeda possible highway night-mare.
Just north of the smalltown of Bonnieville, the fourbuses in the lead came tohalt. In the words of PhilSamp, the Bengals formerradio announcer, “that wasall the far they could go.”Drifting snow had literallybrought the buses and all thetraffic around them to a fro-zen standstill. There were noapproaching headlights inthe northbound lane whilethe snow covered south-bound lanes had strandedfour bus loads of two hun-dred students in the midst offields covered with two feetof snow.
March Madness had ar-rived early. No one had acomputer nor cell phone anunimaginable situation intoday’s world.
Nothing moved until thegray light of dawn revealedthe impossible notion of trav-eling any further. One of themen on the first bus of 50students was Big Six Hen-derson, the renowned sheriffof Warren County. Afterconsulting with the bus driv-ers, Big Six decided to leadthe 200 students into thesleepy town of Bonnieville.Wearing his famous 10-gallonhat and overcoat, he led theparade of willing followerswho were casually dressedfor early spring. Some of thegirls were still wearing highheel shoes for this unexpect-ed trek.
When thebeleagueredgroupreached town,they weregreeted byresidents whohad heardabout theirplight on aLouisvilleradio station.Immediately,
they guided the students intoa local church where a mealwas served and bathroomswere a more than welcomesight.
Later in the day, everyonereceived news that officialsfrom the L&N Railroad hadarranged for its southboundpassenger train, the PanAmerican, to stop in Bonnie-ville, to transport the stu-dents to Bowling Green.When hearing the new, sighsof relief spread among moststudents while others won-dered if classes would becanceled the next day.
After expressing theirappreciation to those whosheltered them, the studentsgathered behind Big Six onceagain and slogged to thesmall village depot. As thetime for the train’s
arrival drew near, antici-pation of a ride home surged.Alas, when the engine’s head-light broke through the mist,everyone knew that thespeeding train was not goingto stop. As the train thun-dered past it signaled thatthe night’s adventure hadcome to an end and a frozenordeal had begun.
Once officials discoveredthat the Pan American hadboarded another two hun-dred WK students in Upton, atown six miles north of Bon-nieville, the L&N sent a spe-cial train dubbed the “Snow-ball Express” to rescue thosewho were left standing bythe station in Bonnieville.Late that night after the trainarrived in Bowling Green,the students were trans-ferred by the National Guardto Western’s campus wherethe Hilltoppers’ 1960 MarchMadness had begun.

Jacque was born on June16, 1964, into an ordinary fam-ily with a mom and a dad and afinal total of six children. Sheand I have been friends for 12years or more. For the lastthree years, she has beenfighting the battle of her life.
Jacque is a skilled orga-nizer having assisted in plan-ning and conducting ourAmerican Council of the Blindof Ohio state conferences formany years. She is a peopleperson in that she has servedas a coordinator of volunteersfor an agency for severalyears. She is an advocate forpeople who use cars driven bychauffeurs rather than usingcars requiring a driver. Un-fortunately, we who use carsequipped with chauffeurscould have much improvedtransportation options if peo-ple who develop public policywould use a lot less money andmuch more thinking power.But that issue is someoneelse’s for the present.
Jacque has been in a rehabcenter working hard to regainher mobility, that is, fullmovement in her arms andhands and in her legs and feet.Many of us who are herfriends are praying for her,
visiting herregularly, andworking withher on herexercises; butwhat is keep-ing us going isher persis-tence, deter-mination and“we can do it”spirit.
In themeantime, Jacque’s life isfilled with caring and dedicat-ed health care workers in-cluding nurse’s aids and thera-pists; with the devotion of herloving husband, Dave, whomyou met in my last guest col-umn; with the strength andpower and blessing of a lovingGod; and with our care andattention who cherish hereven more now that she needsmore of our time and atten-tion.
Jacque has a rare braindisorder called moyamoya, aname given to it by a Japanesedoctor who first identified thedisorder in the 1960s. But, in avery genuine sense, how cananyone say her life has beendiminished? As I wrote, herlife is filled with love, careand attention on her way to
physical well being. WhenJacque returns to her formerplace in making the world abetter place by the use of herorganizing skills, her peopleskills and her advocacy work;she will realize that she neverstopped doing good in theworld because her battle withmoyamoya has brought outthe best in the many peoplewho provide her daily, or atleast frequently, with care andassistance.
The health care profession-als provide skilled medicalattention. Her spouse visitsher after work and on week-ends giving her his love, devo-tion, and encouragement. Weher friends visit her and helpher in practicing her exer-cises. God brings joy to herheart and strength to her spir-it as she give so much to all ofus privileged to remain a partof her life.
I am hoping to write moreguest columns about Jacque’shusband, Dave, who is morethan just Employee of Year in2016 at CABVI, and moreabout Jacque, who is movingever closer to knocking moya-moya out of action in her life.

Barack Obama ran on theslogan of “Hope and Change.”In the last year of his presi-dency a poll shows that 40 per-cent of Democrats and 70 per-cent of millennials would rath-er live under socialism. That isan expression of hopelessnessand it is deeply disturbing.
Sen. Obama stood on thefloor of the senate and de-clared the debt being accumu-lated by President Bush as asign of his lack of leadershipand to burden our childrenwith this debt was immoral.President Obama has accumu-lated more debt than all of theother presidents combined.
Our funded debt is morethan $19 trillion and exceedsour GDP. That along placesAmerica at risk for default; yet
it is our un-funded deficitsthat are ourgreatestthreat. SocialSecurity hasan unfundedliability of$14.8 trillionand the un-funded liabilityfor Medicareis $27 trillion.
Our total unfunded liabilitiesare more than $100 trillion.Passing this on to our childrenis more than immoral; it is afinancial holocaust.
Poverty is in the news onalmost a daily basis. Accordingto the CATO Institute, in 2014,we had 126 different welfareprograms and we spent more
than $886 billion. That is morethan $100,000 for every familyon government assistance.Where is this money going?The answer is simple, hand outprograms grow by attachingthemselves to an endless num-ber of programs. Those whocan navigate this maze of pro-grams live the good life on theAmerican tax payer.
The Affordable Care Act isanything but affordable. Ourgovernment has proven itsinability to deal with healthcare. Just look at the VA hospi-tals and the debt from Medi-care and Medicaid. If qualityhealth care is a right of allAmericans, then add it to the“Bill of Rights” and amend theConstitution.
When the ACA was first
passed 23 states formed co-opswithin the ACA; in effect, gov-ernment sponsored insurancecompanies. The co-ops in Ten-nessee, Nebraska, Iowa, NewYork, Kentucky, Louisiana,Nevada, Colorado, Utah, SouthCarolina, Arizona and Michi-gan have already failed.Twelve of the 23, leaving theAmerican tax payer on thehook for loans totaling $1.2billion. Ten of the remaining 11are headed towards failure.Only Maine has its head abovewater. We were warned, NancyPelosi did say: “We have to passit before we find out what is init.”
Most Americans have notfelt the full impact of the ACAbecause thousands of waivershave been granted to various
companies, unions and organi-zations. No waiver for the Lit-tle Sisters of the Poor. Theirfight is at the Supreme Court.Interesting, Merrick Garland,as part of a three-judge panel,voted against the Little Sistersof the Poor in a lower courtdecision, forcing the need forthe Supreme Court ruling.Garland is President Obama’sSupreme Court nomination.
“Religious freedom” hasbeen relegated to mean free-dom within the four walls ofthe church. If Garland is con-firmed, the four walls are gone.
History will say that Amer-ica died while Americans weresleeping. A republic’s greatestenemy is apathy.

March 24 questionAre the renewal of diplomatic
relations between the UnitedStates and Cuba, and the presi-dent’s visit to Cuba, good for theU.S.? Why or why not?
“I think the arrogant and ac-curate ‘put down’ of our apolo-gist, by the brutal dictator ofthat pipsqueak, non-productiveisland, answers that questionbest.”
D.B.
“Normalizing relations withCuba is all good. Cuba andAmerica working cooperative-ly together will be a good thingfor their people with the eventu-al hope that the Communistprinciples at the forefront of therift over 50 years ago will sub-side and eventually disappearcompletely, proving yet againthat Communism and its closecousin Socialism do not work.One can only hope that Obama,The Bern and all of his blind fol-lowers will realize much soonerthan later that capitalism, evenwith all of its faults, is still the
best economic path for a coun-try.”
M.J.F.
“The president’s visit to Cu-ba is great on the internationalfront. It demonstrates that ourcountry is currently interestedin building diplomacy bridges.We’re fortunate that the presi-dent is as well respected andwell received on the interna-tional stage. Cuba could becomean example of the United Statesusing diplomacy to sow theseeds of democratic rule. Thepresident’s approach is pre-ferred over previous admini-strations efforts to spread de-
mocracy via war. Who wouldhave thought?”
C.S.
“The US has had diplomaticand trade relations with Com-munist China and Russia foryears. Cuba was doomed onceRussia stopped their ‘foreignaid’ over 25 years ago. I thinkthe more that Cubans see of theUS life style the more they willrealize the failure of their cur-rent systems. One of the rea-sons the iron curtain came downwas Russians realizing whatwas on the other side in demo-cratic countries. Cuba couldhave been New Orleans, Las Ve-gas and Miami Beach rolled intoone vacation site. I give Obamacredit for this new move, butlet’s not forget the human rightsviolations of Castro over the last55 years. Hopefully Castro’s sonand some new young Cubanscan turn this around. Maybesome of those jobs that weresent to China could go to Cuba.Now about that new Wal-Mart inHavana. Go Figure!”

Winton Woods graduated twoof its more-decorated runnersin school history in twins Chazand Christian Lumpkin, but theWarriors have a made a habit ofreloading year after year withmore speed and talent.
Coach Ron Wright said thenucleus of this year’s track andfield team is “young and talent-ed.”
The Warriors’ top returner issenior Kenny Mabrey, a mem-ber of last season’s 4x100 relayteam that placed third in thestate.
Other top returners are sen-ior Zack Exalus, a long sprinterwho will help on the 4x100 aswell as the open 200 and 400, andsophomore Darius Smith, whoWright called, “probably one ofthe faster guys on the team rightnow.”
Wright added that he got withfootball coach Andre Parkerand pushed a lot of football play-ers toward track this season andhe expects many of them tomake significant impacts.
“We’re talented but young, asthe season progresses we’ll getbetter,” Wright said. “They’reyoung and they’ve done every-thing I’ve asked them to do rightnow. They’ve worked reallyhard without me constantly onthem. That’s a pleasant surprisewith a group this young.”
On April 6 and April 8, Win-ton Woods hosts the CoachesClassic, one of the biggest reg-ular season meets of the season.
North College HillThere’s plenty of talent back
in the stable this season at NorthCollege Hill.
“They’re a veteran team.They’ve been doing this forawhile now. I’m very excited forthem,” said track and fieldcoach Nathaniel Snow.
The Trojans have 10 return-ing starters and a bunch of re-turning regional qualifiers hop-ing to make one more move andend up in Columbus at the statemeet.
Sophomore sprinter Court-ney Woodward, senior sprinterJujuan Linzy, sophomore hur-dler Zavante Chichester, seniorhigh jumper Zakariah Ouadi, ju-nior sprinter Adrian Ward, ju-nior sprinter Meki Sams andsenior middle distance runnerKyle Johnson, who will run atTiffin University next year, are
all returning regional qualifi-ers.
Also back in the lineup are ju-nior middle distance runnerSam Howard, junior long jum-per Mirell Englemon and juniorthrower Kalil Skott.
“They’ve all been in the pro-gram since they were in middleschool so I know them,” Snowsaid. “They’ve gotten a lot bet-ter. We should be making it to re-gionals and hopefully state; weshould have a lot of success.”
North College Hill’s TrojanRelays are April 12 at NCH.
Mount HealthyLast year, David Montgome-
ry helped the Owls pick up theirsecond Southwest Ohio Confer-ence title in a row.
In the early going, it looks asif a third conference title is inplay for Mount Healthy.
As a junior, Montgomery wasa regional qualifier in the shotput and finished seventh(48’11.25”). The Iowa State foot-ball commit finished second inthe district behind state qualifi-er Jordan Thompson of La Salleand dad the SWOC’s best markin shot put (50’07”).
Montgomery has alreadybested his top throw from lastyear, posting a 52’02” early thisseason.
He’s not the only Owl to pep-per the conference’s best marksso far. Trayvon Wilburn, DerellWilliams, Ja’Vonte Williams andT.J. Elliott hold the top spot intheir respective events.
Mount Healthy, as of April 1,also had the best finishes in the4x100, 4x200 and 4x400 meterrelays.
Roger BaconRoger Bacon returns a pair
of state qualifiers in senior Jor-dan Williams (long jump) andjunior Sam Johnstone (1,600 me-ters), who will help lead ayounger team in search of an-other trip back to state.
Eighth-year coach MikeBraun only has three seniorsthis season.
“I’m returning two statequalifiers (Williams also missedmaking it to state in high jumpby one spot) … with this group ofseniors and Sam (Johnstone),they’re just a good, hard-work-ing crew. They’re pushing thisyoung group every single day,”said Braun.
“They won all but two, maybethree, meets we were in (lastseason) before league champi-
onships. They know what theyhave to do to earn that stripe.Hopefully we can get over thehump and win the district andmaybe the league this year.”
Senior Amir Metts is a keyreturner and regional qualifieralong with senior Will Greene, asprinter and long jumper.
Sophomore Austin Fultonsuffered an injury that disrupt-ed his postseason last year, afterwinning the high jump at theGreater Catholic League Co-edmeet, but he returns healthythis season. Junior thrower To-ny Luken is another returningstarter eager to improve.
“A lot of the young guysthey’re all very new,” Braunsaid. “I am literally young
across the board … it’s gonna bea growing period with them a lit-tle bit.”
St. XavierThere’s a youth movement in
progress this season for St. Xa-vier’s track and field team.
After graduating Michael Vi-tucci, a state champion runnerin track and cross country, BradEagan, who took third at statelast season in the mile, and Con-nor Stelljes, a state qualifyingthrower, the Bombers will relyon a lot of new faces this spring.
Coach Oliver Mason, now inhis 11th season, said his team hasno returning regional qualifi-ers.
“We come back with a really
young team,” he said. “Our teamis basically sophomores and ju-niors and unproven at that.”
Mason said the Bombers“will creep up on people at theend of the year,” and they shouldhave a lot of production fromtheir distance runners.
“We’ll have a pretty good mil-er in junior Jack Cordonnier,and good two-milers in seniorAustin Angeline and juniorChris Reischel,” said Mason.“So those three should be gooddistance as always.”
In the throwing department,Mason said junior Jonah Yateshas been impressive and new-comer, sophomore Bobby Jef-ferson has shown promise.
“They’re (mostly) sopho-mores and juniors so they haveno idea what this thing’s about;they need to come to meets likethe coaches classic and get theirdoors blown off,” Mason said.“I’ve always told them that I’mnot wedded to seniorship. Thisisn’t like team sports, my stopwatch, my measuring tapedoesn’t lie so it’s always an openfield. Some guys are embracingthat. Some of them are tentativebut the meets will kind of letthem know what’s going.”

Jazmin Smith graduat-ed after completing one ofthe best track and field ca-reers in school history, butNorth College Hill returnsthree state qualifiersfrom last season lookingto fill the void left bySmith.
The 4x400 relay teamthat qualified to state lastseason returns threemembers in junior AniyaJones, senior Janae Bla-lock and sophomore Ash-lin Lindsey.
Other notable return-ers are senior DiamondJohnson, a regional quali-fier in three events lastseason, sophomore Sha-mamerah Pickens, a re-gional qualifier in 100 me-ters, sophomore RavenWillis, a regional qualifierin two relays, seniorJayonna Tivs-Peake,who’s a returning regionalhigh jumper headed toLane College (Tenn.) nextseason, and junior JailenStone, a regional relayrunner.
After that, coach Na-thaniel Snow said he’s“gotta see what the (new-comers) can do when thepressure’s on,” but he’sbeen impressed so far byfreshman sprinter KenniaThompson.
“They feel like theyhave something to provecause they know Jazmin isgone,” said Snow.“They’re excited to showthe Lady Trojans are astrong force to be reck-oned with.
“It should be a greatyear. When you lose some-one like Jazmin, it’s hard
to replace her. I may nothave another JazminSmith but I have girls whowant to work hard andthat’s what keeps the pro-gram rolling.”
Winton WoodsWith only one senior,
the Winton Woods girlstrack and field team willrely on a strong juniorclass and a whole lot offreshmen and sopho-mores this season.
The Warriors are ledby one of the top returninglong jumpers in the statein junior Brianna Richard,who placed third at thestate meet last season.
Also returning this sea-son are juniors Jaylin Hill,a regional qualifier lastseason in the 4x100 relay,Dominique Perry, a re-gional hurdler last year,and Diamond Isaacs, whospecializes in the open400.
“Dominique and Brian-na are pretty much theleaders, especially Do-minique,” said coach TonyBoyd, now in his 11th sea-son. “Dominique’s alwaysencouraging and givinggirls speeches. Briannaleads by example and herwork ethic.”
Boyd also expects ju-nior Ashley Lewis, juniorGeralyn Smith, freshmanKeeyori Evans and sopho-more Laisha Hazley tohelp tremendously thisseason.
The junior class in par-ticular has Boyd excitedfor the season.
“They’ve been runningsince the beginning ofhigh school and everyyear they’ve progressed,”Boyd said. “They’ve beenwith me since their fresh-
man year and every yearthey’ve improved. Hope-fully this year we’ll getPerry up (to state) in bothhurdles and Brianna backin the long jump and a cou-ple other sprints, and pos-sibly some of our relayswill get up there. We’relooking forward to that.Right now, early in theseason we’re progressingand working towards thatgoal.”
McAuley
McAuley’s never farfrom the track and fieldconversation with the lev-el of skill they showcaseyear in and year out.
This season, the Mo-hawks will have depth andscoring power across theboard, which should makethem a contender later inthe season.
The excitement startsthis season with McAu-ley’s throwers, led bythrows coach Mike Ber-wanger, whom coach RonRusso called one of the topthrows coaches in thestate.
Junior Carle Lambertalready tossed a personalbest (109’2”) at the firstmeet this season, and Rus-so said as she continues toprogress he has no doubtshe’ll be a highly soughtafter Division I collegeprospect.
Senior Emily Mormile,a regional finalist in dis-cus last year, is back alongwith newcomers sopho-more Camryn Glasmeierand freshman Rachel Ber-wanger.
Senior Gabby Dragi-noff, the school recordholder in pole vault, re-turns after reaching re-gionals last year. She’sjoined by junior polevaulter Kira Staubach andsophomore Sarah Voit.Staubach and Voit areboth former gymnastswho will help in a numberof events.
Russo credited coachMike Albrinck for hiswork developing a toughtrio of pole vaulters.
Distance specialistswill be sophomore EmilyAnneken, a regional quali-fier last year in the 4x800relay, senior Anna Sontagand junior Annie Klein. Inthe middle distance, sen-ior Sydney Kreimer andjunior Kirsten Goldickare as experienced as itgets, and they’ll lend thatknowledge to freshmanIsabelle Lynch, who Rus-so is “very high on.”
Senior Moriah Ed-wards is an experiencedsprinter (regional quali-fied in 4x100 last season)and long jumper. JuniorCammy Barnett is alsoback after reaching re-gionals last season. Juniorsprinter Samone Mathesis another returning start-er.
Russo said senior CatieFarwick will help out inthe sprint events in herfirst year running, andfreshman high jumperMakayla Howe will con-tribute in a number ofevents.
“I think we have a real-ly solid team where wecan score a lot of points ina lot of different areas,”Russo said. “We’ve gotgood balance. We need tocontinue to improve in thehurdle events. We alwaysfocus on being very goodin our relays. That’s some-thing we’re still putting to-gether right now, reach-ing for the best kids forthose events.
“Once we put it all to-gether, we’ll have a verygood team.”
Mount HealthyKayela Houston, now a
sophomore, enjoyedbursting onto the scene asa freshman on MountHealthy’s track team.
She finished 13th in theDivision I long jump atstate with a distance of16’06”. State meet jittersmight have gotten to her alittle bit as she jumped 18feet, 4.25 inches in the re-gional to qualify and thatmark was up from the17’10” she jumped at dis-tricts.
“Kayela is one of thehardest workers on theteam and showed leader-ship by doing,” Owlscoach Kelvin Kelley saidprior to the state meet lastyear. “We actually had toback her off for a coupledays leading into the re-gional.”
Assuming she returnsto the roster, she should beamong the team’s leadersagain this season. No in-formation was receivedby deadline.
Roger BaconRoger Bacon coach
Mike Braun, now in hiseighth season with theSpartans, said this is thelargest team he’s ever hadentering a track and fieldseason with 40 girls.
But, like the Roger Ba-con boys, the girls areyoung with only sevenseniors.
The Spartans will beled by returning regionalqualifier and district highjump champion, senior El-
lyn Nichols. Junior Court-ney Niesen also returns asdistrict runner-up in thehigh jump behind Nichols.
Other notable returnsare junior Liza Hoopes, aregional qualifier last sea-son in the mile, senior Tre-nise Gause, a regionalqualifier in the 4x800 re-lay last season, and seniorJamie Thompson, a shotput regional qualifier lastyear.
“The girls are veryyoung again this season,”said Braun. “The one dif-ference I do have with thegirls: We talked about allthe regional qualifiers —the girls have beenbumped up to Division II.They were in Division III(last season). I talked tothem about it, and in orderfor them to get back to re-gionals and get to statethey have to put in thework.
“This girls team hasthe talent to do it. Theysaw the boys do it lastyear; they have the oppor-tunity to be very success-ful this season.”
FinneytownFinneytown may have
lost Yashira Rhymer-Stu-art, who placed third inthe high jump last seasonat the state meet, to gradu-ation, but the Wildcatsstill have a lot of talentcoming back.
Finneytown returns allfour legs from its region-al-qualifying 4x200 relayteam from last year. Sen-ior Ariana Bonds, seniorAnyssa Howell, seniorElizabeth Snyder andsophomore Alexia Bondsare all back with theirsights set on taking thenext step to state. Howellwas also a regional quali-fier in 800 meters; Sny-der’s also an accom-plished long jumper;Alexia Bonds can also polevault and hurdle.
Senior Tess Enderle isareturning regional quali-fier in discus, and sopho-more McKenzie Jonesmade it to regionals lastseason in 3,200 meters.Senior Katherine Ger-mann is a four-year trackand cross country runnerand she handles all the dis-tance events with sopho-more distance specialistJulia Brueggemeyer. Sen-ior Nadia Chapel, a trans-fer student, has im-pressed coach CharlesCrawley in her fieldevents.
“We have a stronggroup of seniors now andwe have a pretty goodgroup of younger girlswho are learning the insand outs of high schooltrack and field and whatneeds to be done to com-pete at that level,” Craw-ley said. “Our numbersare strong this year andwith that, we have a lot ofversatility, a lot of girlswho are not just a one-event type of person.They can do a lot of differ-ent things.”

BUSINESSUPDATE
In a city with the na-tion’s second-highestchildhood poverty rate, acommunity effort led bythe University of Cincin-nati (UC) encourages 13-19-year olds to verballyexpress their fears, wor-ries, struggles and hopes.The program spearhead-ed by UC’s Taft ResearchCenter culminates in theSaturday, April 9, Louderthan a Bomb (LTAB) poet-ry finals at the School forthe Creative and Perform-ing Arts in Over the Rhine.
A team from Aiken Col-lege and Career HighSchool in College Hill hasbeen part of the LTAB pro-gram this school year. Ty-rese Adams from Aiken is
an individual finalist.The April 9 event is a
variation of the world’slargest youth poetry slam,LTAB (named after a Pub-lic Enemy song aboutspeaking truth), whichoriginated in Chicago 15years ago as a venue foryouth to share their sto-ries. Students performoriginal poetry, story tell-ing and hip-hop spokenword.
Taft director AdrianParr brought the programto Cincinnati last year “toengage the city, particu-larly young people, andspark interest in readingand writing with expres-sion in poetic form. Horri-fied by our poverty rate,
which is directly relatedto educational outcomesand retention, we wantedto deal with this in a prag-matic way and put the hu-manities to work as a solu-tion.”
UC’s McMicken Col-lege of Arts and SciencesDean Ken Petren agreed,and the college has signedon as an important projectsponsor.
“This competition illus-trates how the liberal artscan serve the communityby giving young people avoice, teaching them howto communicate and sharetheir work. It also offersus all an important chanceto hear from the youth inour community about
their lives and the issuesthat matter most to them.”
Parr’s goals were toempower youth who feelunheard, develop theirconfidence, surroundthem with supportivecommunity and bring thecity together. Additional-ly, the Queen City’s ver-sion of LTAB providesbudding poets “with an ex-posure to literature with-out the seriousness of sit-ting in class. They get it ontheir own terms.” Shebused them to campus fora “Sociology of Hip-Hop”class that “helps themimagine themselves in auniversity context. Wewant to create a differentpipeline moving kids tohigher education. The hu-manities and arts are veryflexible and open for kidsregardless of their inter-ests. Everyone has a cre-ative side that we want totap in a shared platform.”
It’s taken a village oncampus and within thecommunity to createLTAB Cincinnati. MajorUniversity partners, inaddition to McMicken Col-lege of Arts and Sciences,assisting the Taft Re-search Center’s lead in-clude: UC Office of theChief Diversity Officer;MetroLab (UC College ofDesign, Art, Architecture,and Planning); UC Re-search Institute, and UCDepartments of AfricanaStudies and Political Sci-ence. MetroLab facultyand students earned agrant to construct thisyear’s LTAB set after win-ning local and national ar-chitecture awards forlast-year’s stage. Commu-nity sponsors are Kroger,the Goldsmith Family, El-ementz, Cincinnati PublicSchools, DePaul CristoRey High School, SevenHills School, WordPlayCincy and Reds UrbanYouth Academy.
LTAB coaches Jori AnCotton and Desirae Hos-ley, both spoken-word art-ists, are friends and col-laborators who push and
mentor each other.“We share similar mis-
sions of creating writingcircles and open-mic fo-rums in the city,” said Cot-ton, who coaches multipleteams and is funded by El-ementz. “You can feel de-feated and, as friends, weget ourselves going bysharing our poetry, givingfeedback, pointers andcritiques. That translatesto the students we coach.We can push them be-cause we know where westarted. We can see thedifferent ways poetry canbe fused in their lives.”
Hosley and Cotton aresecond-year LTAB coach-es and Hosley of Word-Play Cincy sees a differ-ence in students this year.“The energy is explosive.They’ve brought social is-sues like Black Lives Mat-ter and the transgenderjourney to light. They’vemade it prevalent andthey love who they are.They will tell their secretor story to the world, areunapologetic and proud.”
“Students are sharingthe injustices of the world,what’s going on in theirneighborhoods and areproud of the skin they’rein,” Cotton said. “They’re
talking about Jewish cul-ture, mental illness, de-pression, anxiety and sui-cide prevention. Theirwords in front of the audi-ence can bring the wholehouse down.”
“The first thing Ipreach is self love,” Hos-ley said. “I always saywriting is therapy: write apoem, save a life. If youcan bring voice to what-ever damages you, youcan grow.”
“As children, we wereseen and not heard,” Cot-ton said. “After listeningat the semi finals to youthacross Cincinnati, I under-stand they need to beheard. This is their worldnow. Our voice is truly allwe have and when we canhear someone’s story, bar-riers are broken down.”
Last year, Parr sweatedfilling the 300 seats at theCincinnati National Un-derground Railroad Free-dom Center for the finals,then begged the theatermanager to allow 30 moreto stand.
“Never in my wildestdreams would I have ex-pected this kind of turn-out,” Parr said. This yearalready has been electri-fying and we’ve moved toCorbett Theatre at Schoolfor the Creative and Per-forming Arts with 750seats.”
In 2015, LTAB Cincin-nati involved 12 schools,the most of any inauguralLTAB competition. Thisyear, 17 schools – from theinner city to suburbs – par-ticipated. Teams from De-Paul Cristo Rey HighSchool and Hughes STEMHigh School in Clifton,Walnut Hills High Schooland Elementz, an urbanarts center in Over theRhine, will compete in thefinals along with 15 soloperformers.
Doors open at 5 p.m.Saturday, April 9; finalsbegin at 6 p.m. FormerCincinnati Bengal andphilanthropist DhaniJones and poet-activistMalcolm London, a Chi-cago LTAB winner, willhost. Free tickets andmore information areavailable at louderthana-bombcincy.com.

Have you, your familyor friends paid for foun-dation or waterproofingrepairs on their house ora previous residence?
These repairs can bevery costly and verydisheartening if the con-tractor’s work does not
solve theproblem.Payingfor re-pairsthat maycost you$5,000,$10,000,$20,000or morethat havenotworked
makes the idea of foun-dation problems a majornightmare and scareshomeowners.
People lose sleep overthe fear of what the re-pairs may cost. Potentialbuyers are kept frommaking an offer on ahome for sale because itmay have foundationissues or have had shod-dy foundation repairs.
With more than 100foundation contractors inthe area, thousands ofhomeowners are payingcontractors every year.When an individual callsa contractor to solve theproblem, the contractorsends a sales person. Irecently met a lady thatcalled four companiesfor bids, but only gotthree different salesmen.The one salesman thatreturned under a differ-ent company name gaveher a different proposal.She lost the “warmfuzzy” feeling of relying
on the salesmen. Anypotential client of thesefirms is only getting theopinion of a sales personwanting to sell work, notthe opinion of an unbi-ased professional engi-neer.
Contractors providebids to work on symp-toms. If you have cracks,they will probably wantto install underpinningsystems to fix a sup-posed settlement prob-lem. If the foundationwalls are thought to beleaning or bulging in-ward, probably everyone of them will want toinstall steel I-beamsagainst the wall, whichmay be an incomplete orimproper repair. If ahouse has basementleaks, most will want tosaw-cut the basementslab to install a sumppump and maybe coverup the crack. Almostevery foundation or wa-terproofing company inthis area does not un-derstand how externalforces affect a founda-tion. If four differentcompanies are called,you will most likely getfour different sugges-tions.
The best way a home-owner can protect them-selves is starting with aprofessional engineer.Contractors’ sales peopletry to sell you their ser-vices with well knownand “respected” celebri-ty advertising, good BBBratings, “A” ratings onAngie’s list, and some-times even fraudulentlystating that they are anengineer or have a li-censed engineer on staff.
Any homeowner thatskips the professionalengineer and relies onthe sales person may becommitting checkbooksuicide.
After completingmore than 10,000 inspec-tions over 18 years, Ihave homeowners tell me
the horror stories. Lucki-ly, some of these havenot signed on the dottedline with a contractor.The engineer can pro-vide engineering designsor details that severalcontractors can bid thesame scope of work youcan then easily compare
prices. Also, professionalengineering designsmean you will have arecord of the repair workwhen selling the home.
