“We have traditionalclassrooms next to inno-vative spaces. It’s the bestof both worlds.”

Diamond Oaks» Diamond Oaks graduates

Adam Shelton (2011) and Rich-ard Stevens (2012) are back on aGreat Oaks campus. This timeit’s not to visit, though: They areprofessional electricians rewir-ing a lab at Scarlet Oaks.

The two former Oak Hillsstudents attended the DiamondOaks Commercial/ResidentialElectricity program, and werehired by Cooper Electric whenthey graduated.

They’re not alone. Eight ofCooper Electric’s 33 employeesare Great Oaks graduates.That’s because Cooper Presi-dent Greg Hyland believes incareer-technical education – arelationship that dates backmore than 37 years.

“In 1977, my boss read anewspaper article about GreatOaks, and suggested that I getin touch to see if they had somestudents who might make goodfuture employees. We’ve beenworking with them ever since.”

Hyland said he sees career-technical schools as the “farmteam for the industry.” He staysconnected with instructors tolearn about promising stu-dents. He and other contractorshave even recruited whilethey’re judging local studentskill competitions. In fact, Scar-let Oaks students Danny Stacyand Tyler Stahl recently shad-owed Cooper electricians onthe job after meeting Hyland ata SkillsUSA competition.

It benefits the contactors tostay connected to the schools.Hyland said that among area In-dependent Electrical Contrac-tors member companies, over-all they could put 150 electri-cians to work – and the IEC seesGreat Oaks as the starting pointfor cultivating those futureelectricians.

Becoming a journeymanelectrician isn’t a quick proc-ess; it involves four years of ap-prenticeship, time-based train-ing and experience. Throughthe IEC, though, that route isshorter for many Great Oaksstudents.

“Opportunity exists forGreat Oaks students throughthe Youth Apprentice program,where students can begin theirapprenticeship at the begin-ning of their senior year. By thetime they graduate from highschool, they will have simulta-neously completed one year ofapprenticeship,” Hyland said.

Cooper Electric’s Gil Hylandadded that, regardless ofwhether high school studentsjoin the Youth Apprentice pro-gram, they have an advantageby starting their training atGreat Oaks.

“The Great Oaks grads willalways have those two years’ oftraining in high school, plus onthe job training through co-opsand summertime work, thatmake them more desirable thantheir older peers who lack pre-vious training,” Hyland said.

That, in part, explains why21-year-old Adam Shelton is al-ready supervising a crew ofcommercial electricians.

“Getting those two years un-der my belt while at Diamond

Oaks is what set me up for suc-cess now. I’m in my fourth yearof apprenticeship, for a total ofsix years of experience in thisfield. Great Oaks gave me aclear vision of the career oppor-tunity the electrical trade pro-vides and the understandingfor the best possible headstart.”

Greg Hyland spends timetalking with parents of prospec-tive students during openhouses and other events.

“I want parents to know thatcareer-technical educationgives their sons and daughtersoptions,” he said. “They can be-gin a career and learn a skillthat will last them a lifetime.”

For Stevens, just a few yearsout of high school, the option hechose was a good one.

“I chose commercial/resi-dential electricity because Iwanted a hands-on education.Now, at 20, I’m working withcustomers, learning superviso-

ry skills, training others, anddoing what I like in trouble-shooting electrical problems. Igot my start at Diamond Oakswith an education in under-standing circuitry.”

Mount Notre Dame HighSchool

» Following the recommen-dation of a search committee

and approval ofits Board ofTrustees, MountNotre Dame hasselected JudyGerwe as its nexthead of school,effective July 1.

Gerwe, a grad-uate of MND, isjoining the schoolfrom St. Pius X

Elementary in Edgewood, Ken-tucky, where she has served asprincipal for the past 4 1/2years. Prior to her tenure at St.

Pius, she served 22 years at No-tre Dame Academy in NorthernKentucky as a teacher and ad-ministrator – including dean ofstudents and assistant princi-pal. Gerwe has a bachelor’s de-gree in mathematics and ele-mentary education from Na-tional College of Education inChicago, a master’s degree ineducation from Xavier Univer-sity, and several endorsementsincluding high school mathe-matics and K-12 Administra-tion.

“My career has provided mewith experience in collabora-tion, budgets, capital cam-paigns, accreditations, market-ing, development, managementand leadership. I will bring thisexperience to MND so that wecan continue to strive to be thefirst choice in Catholic highschool education for youngwomen in the Cincinnati area,”Gerwe said. She and her hus-band, Ken live in Northern Ken-

tucky. The couple has two chil-dren, Anna and Julia.

“We are very excited to haveJudy join us, and we are confi-dent that she will build upon thestrengths of the organization totake us to even higher levels,”said Tony Reed, MND boardchair on behalf of the Board andthe Head of School SelectionCommittee.

Gerwe will be following Lar-ry Mock, MND’s current headof school, who last summer an-nounced his plans to retire atthe end of this school year. “Icare greatly about MND’s stu-dents and the entire supportivecommunity. Judy’s passion foreducating young women, a won-derful internalization of thecharism of St. Julie and the Sis-ters of Notre Dame, and awarm, magnetic personalitywill serve her and MND wellinto the future,” Mock said.

A Dayton photographer, whoexperimented with underwaterphotography in his backyardpool, has discovered “The Mer-maid Within.”

In photos by Girish Balsavar,displayed at Sharonville’s West-heimer Gallery, mermaids swirlas if suspended, in flowingdresses.

His inspiration? A love ofphotography and a love of water.

Balsavar became certified inscuba diving and shot the photosin his own pool, piquing the inter-est of models who’d had child-hood dreams of being mer-maids.

The photos, which Balsavartook underwater, were edited todelete any trace of a pool, leav-ing an aura of deep sea suspen-sion.

He enhanced them through aprocess that used fabric andprops, creating backdrops andeffects to create a flowing ef-fect.

During the photo shoots, Bal-savar saw the mermaidsemerge.

“They seemed to just get intothe zone, and begin to live thefantasy of being mermaids inwater,” he said. “Watching themrelax and get into beautifulposes like they belonged inthere, really brought out themermaid within.

“It was an obvious choice (oftitle) for the show,” Balsavarsaid. “It just brought all the pic-tures to life.

“I would like visitors to share

the joys living a fantasy of a mer-maid,” Balsavar said, “and en-courage them to reach out withcreative ideas they may have.”

The photos will be on displayat the Westheimer Gallerythrough Jan. 31 at the Sharon-ville Fine Arts Center, 11165Reading Road.

The gallery is open Thurs-days and Fridays, 3 p.m. to 7p.m., and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2p.m.

This has a smoky fla-vor due to the chipotlepeppers. Nice for SuperBowl coming up.

3 large ripe Hass avo-

cados - peeled, pitted andscooped out

or more to tasteChipotle peppers in

adobo to taste (puree infood processor and thenstore in frig or freezer;this is much easier tomeasure out than thewhole peppers in sauce)

2 Roma tomatoes,diced

Mash the avocadosvery gently with potatomasher. Some people laythe avocado down flatand cut it into very small

pieces. Regardless, youdon’t want to overmashor it will become soupy.

Stir in lime juice totaste, and salt. Stir inonion, cilantro, cumin,garlic, peppers. Stir intomatoes. Serve withchips.

Tips from Rita’skitchen:

Ripening avocados.Although avocados aremature when pickedfrom the tree, they arenot ripe. Place in paperbag. This traps the ethyl-ene gas they produce andhelps to ripen. It willripen at room temper-ature in 3-5 days. Skincolor will darken andflesh underneath will bea bit soft.

Hass. These comefrom California with abuttery texture. The skinis tough and durable —ideal for shipping, andfor use as a scooping cupwhen removing flesh.

Hall. From Floridaand are bright green,smooth skinned avoca-dos.

Good for you: Loadedwith potassium, folicacid, vitamins C and E,also fiber and hearthealthy monounsaturatedfat.

A publication of

“Let’s cut all of those publicschool positions that are un-needed,” is an unqualifiedrequest by some members ofthe public.

They believe such actionwill save districts lots of mon-ey as well as lower the tax billsfor a district’s residents.

To some residents this ideamight have some superficialcost reduction merit, yet itfails to confront the thought ofeliminating all the responsibil-ities connected with thosepositions that are axed.

Once the Ohio state board ofeducation repeals the five ofeight rule standard, schoolswill no longer be required toprovide a school nurse forevery one thousand students.Although the savings are mini-mal considering the full scopeof an annual budget, someboards of education will choose

to direct thosefunds for otherpriorities atthe expense ofneglecting thehealth servicesonly a schoolnurse candeliver.

All ele-mentaryschools musthave some

kind of care facility for thestudents they serve.

Working as the school’sprimary health care provider,the nurse is responsible formaking sure this facility hasall the minimal medical equip-ment, furniture, and emergen-cy supplies needed by theschool’s students.

When children become ill orinjured at school, they need acare giver for medical atten-

tion emotional support. Moreoften than not that person isthe school nurse. During thecourse of a single day, thenurse might see every conta-gious disease spreadingthrough the school in additionto the normal traffic of chil-dren with cuts, bruises, andmore serious injuries.

In short the school’s healthcenter is its miniature emer-gency room.

A major role of a schoolnurse involves the organiza-tion and dispensation of medi-cations. In a typical elemen-tary school with a student pop-ulation of five hundred stu-dents at least 15 percent, or 75children, will need to takemedication each day. By lawthe meds must be stored in asecure facility and adminis-tered by a designated staffmember.

Each school year nursessearch students’ records toidentify health issues and com-pliance with state immuniza-tion laws. They collaboratewith classroom teachers tomake sure students with ongoing health problems receivethe daily care and treatmenttheir condition may demand.In some cases this involvesperiodic injections as well asproviding special physicalaccommodations within theclassroom.

Kindergarten and preschoolhealth screenings are timeconsuming responsibilitiesthem nurse conducts at thebeginning of each school year.On going vision, dental, scolio-sis and hearing screenings forchildren take place throughoutthe school year. Informationfrom the screenings are usedto compile annual changes in

students physical growth andto make referrals for follow-upcare.

With first hand knowledgeof student’s physical growthand health needs over an ex-tended period of time, theschool nurse contributes valu-able information and insight tointervention assistance andcrisis response teams.

Terminating the position ofa school nurse does not erasethe responsibilities a schoolnurse fulfills. Either thoseduties become an unmet voidor other staff members mustassume them. Sadly, innocentstudents will bear the conse-quences of these potentialpenny savings actions by someof Ohio’s boards of education.

School nurses endangered in some Ohio districts

Jan. 7 questionWhat should be the top priori-

ties for the Republican-con-trolled Congress (House and Sen-ate)?

“Changing the public per-ception and information aboutwhy legislation is not actedupon. The American peopleare tired of the Constitution be-ing ignored. After eliminatingthe hideous tax of Obamacare,legislation to ensure new em-ployment should be the top pri-ority. This would mean, amongmany other things, a viablemeans for companies to pro-vide health care benefits, pos-sibly the Keystone Pipeline,and certainly an agreement topublish and read all legislationbefore voting. Requiring legis-lation to describe its basis inthe Constitution would be agreat start.”

D.B.

“To abolish Obamacare, putin Keystone Pipeline, to havecontrol of our borders, and al-low our country the right tohave the 10 Commandmentsback in our schools and court-rooms.”

Mary Ann Maloney

“Do something! We paythese people far too much to donothing. If we wanted nothingdone for a lot of public money,we would just hire MikeBrown.”

M.J.F.

I am hoping that the newCongress can finally do some-thing (anything) this year.These last several Congresseshave been so divided that noth-ing moved forward. I hopethey move on the deficit spend-ing and the national debt whichare out of control. Secondlythey could approve the Key-stone Pipeline to get the U.S.and Canadian shale oil to refin-eries more safely. Now withthe cheaper gas (temporarily)increase the federal excise taxpaid at the pump to help fix thehighways and bridges acrossthe United States. My guess iswe will have two more years ofnothing much being accom-plished.

“The Congress is much likethe UN; there is a lot of talk butvery few results. Never haveso many done so little for solong. Go figure!”

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONSome people have criticizedrecent school closings due tocold weather. What do youthink about the practice ofcanceling classes when themercury dips?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.

The obvious increase inadvertisements for weightloss programs, gym member-ships and smoking cessationplans can mean only onething; the New Year must behere!

It is human nature to assessour lives during such a time,including deciding what im-provements are needed. Un-fortunately, experts estimatethat only about 15 percent ofNew Year’s resolutionsachieve any level of success.So why are resolutions sopopular and yet so ineffec-tive?

In most cases, what wewish to change about our selfis a worthy goal; lose weight,get in better shape, stop smok-ing, stop drinking alcohol, orstop spending so much money.In reality however, many ofour negative behaviors arerooted in either an addiction(alcohol, gambling, sex, smok-ing), or result from a previoustrauma or current stressor.

How many of us, for ex-ample, eat more when we arestressed or unhappy? Theissue therefore is not aboutlosing weight, but rather isabout what is causing us to eatmore. In reality, addictions,and trauma or stress relatedbehaviors cannot be overcomeby shear will-power. Mostserious behavioral modifica-

tion requiresintentionaltreatment andstrategic plan-ning.

So does thatmean weshould give upon New Year’sresolutionsand the hopeof changingour life for thebetter? Abso-

lutely not! Positive changecan occur and here are someways to take the chance out ofchange.

» Keep a short list. Most ofus create too many resolutionsand are quickly discouragedbecause we are overwhelmedby all that needs done.

» Be specific in what youwant to change. Most goalsare too broad and difficult tomeasure. For example, mostof us want to lose weight. Abetter way to phrase it is tolose 15 pounds by May 1.

» Create a strategic plan toreach your goal. If your reso-lution is to improve your com-puter skills during the nextyear, then be intentional. En-roll in a computer class, builda library of reference man-uals, and find someone whocan answer your questions.

» Modify your habits.Changing major behaviors

often begins by changingsmaller intrinsic habits. If youare trying to lose weight butstop at the bakery on the wayhome two or three times aweek, take a different routehome. When you crave asnack, substitute fruit forsweets.

» Identify impulsive behav-iors. We are more vulnerableto impulsive decisions whenwe lose track of our goals. Ifyou are trying to save money,don’t go shopping for fun. Andif you must go to the store,have a specific list of itemsyou need to avoid the impulseto buy other things you want.

» Celebrate small victories.Track your progress and cele-brate the incremental positivechanges that are occurringalong the way.

» Recognize when you needhelp. Some changes requirethe assistance of trained pro-fessionals. Don’t hesitate toseek the help of doctors, coun-selors, or a spiritual leader forissues too complex for us tohandle on our own.

is, and how what some perceiveas a show of weakness can betransformed into a moment ofrelief later on. The case in pointis Syria. The Obama admini-stration rightly took on muchcriticism for drawing a line inthe sand and then refusing toact, when Assad used chemicalweapons in Syria. Assad will godown in history as the monsterhe is, but we did little to put astop to him or his regime.

However, as recent events inIraq have played out, we shouldbe relieved that we did not doanything that could have beeninterpreted as aid to the terror-ist group that opposes him inSyria (ISIS or ISIL, dependingon who speaks) and now is

I am not a fan of much ofU.S. foreign policy over the last40 years or so.

We have supported thewrong people for the wrongreasons, repeatedly, in all partsof the world. Much of our prob-lem can be traced back to thelack of understanding of theintricate details of the localculture and our superficialunderstanding of the long termimplications of our actions. Wesupported dictators with ter-rible human rights recordsfrom the Middle East to Africato Latin America, and wonderwhy the people in those coun-tries, once they become De-mocracies (with little of no helpfrom us), prefer to do business

with China orEurope.

The StateDepartmenthas to bearmuch of theblame, butmeddling poli-ticians withirrelevant andinappropriatebackgroundsmust also rec-

ognize that they do little tofurther American interests inthe world, as long as they seekto further their own often paro-chial interests in this manner.

However, recent events inthe Middle East have shown usjust how complicated the world

close to toppling the govern-ment in Iraq. Had we tried totopple Assad using the “rebels”in Syria, we would have cer-tainly have aided these terror-ists, in much the same way weaided the Taliban when theywere opposed to Soviet rule inAfghanistan. Maybe we learnedsomething after all.

The answer to any problemin the Middle East is not easy.Once we went to war in Iraq,we ended the rule of a SaddamHussein, but we also ended astrong government of a secularstate that did not like us, butrespected us for the force weshowed by retaking Kuwait. Ifyou deal with brutes such asSaddam Hussein and Assad,

they do understand the lan-guage of force. In turn, theweakness of Iraq has opened aPandora’s box of interests:Kurds, Shia, Sunni and corruptpoliticians all fight for power.

We now have a certain moralresponsibility for what is hap-pening in the Middle East. Weneed the humility to recognizeour role in its causes and theintelligence to realize that thesolution to every problem is notto be found at the tip of a cruisemissile. It may have to be found– however unpopular this maybe – deeper still in the walletsof American taxpayers.

WYOMING — It’s been10 years since WyomingHigh School won aleague wrestling cham-pionship and coach Bri-an Pitman would like toadd another to his re-sume.

It just may not comethis year.

Since the Cowboyslast won in 2004 and Ma-deira in 2005, Readinghas reeled off nine in arow. The last two years,much of the CincinnatiHills League has chasedthe Blue Devils and DeerPark as the grapplersalong Galbraith Roadhave hunkered down.

Wyoming’s closestcall was two years agowhen they finished sec-ond to Reading. For a“smaller school” league,the CHL holds its own.

“It is an impressiveleague and we have somequality kids,” Pitmansaid. “I got to spend sometime with the Deer Parkkids during summerwhen we combined andwent to the Jeff JordanState Champ Camp (inUrbana). I got to knowthose kids and (DeerPark coach) Jason Lam-bers. Hopefully we canget some of these CHLkids to the state tourna-ment and place.”

This year’s Cowboys,like last, are youngagain. Asa Palmer is thelone senior at 145pounds.

Last year, Ike Palmerwas the only senior andtook the league champi-onship at 195 pounds. Fif-ty pounds lighter, theyounger Palmer appearsto be on the same path.

“Asa Palmer has beenunbelievable,” Pitmansaid. “He’s on fire. He’sbeaten some really solidkids. Last year he got in-jured before the leaguemeet. He’s healthy andlooks really good.”

Pitman believesPalmer is dangerous. Be-

cause he was hurt at theend of last season, he’snot been seeded as high.He recently wrestled anundefeated competitorfrom Madison and wonas the opposing coachlooked on in shock.

Junior Justin Shieldshas also impressed at 182pounds. His 5-foot-8,low-to-the-ground framehelped him in footballwhere he was Wyoming’stop rusher. On the mat,he’s on pace for a 30-winseason.

“He really doesn’t un-derstand how good hecould be,’ Pitman said.“He’s got great hips thisyear. Last year weworked on his reaction inhis hips.”

In the heavierweights, the Cowboyshave struggled some dueto injury. SophomoreBen Padnos, who wres-tled at 220 last year, tookover at 285 when fellowsophomore Dylan Reviswas injured.

“Ben hasn’t had a lotof practice time with big-ger guys other than my-self,” Pitman said. “OnceDylan gets healthy, thatwill be a nice little battleback and forth.”

The third-grade Wyo-ming teacher still tan-gles with many of thekids he taught in elemen-tary school. His wres-tling is fine but his condi-tioning is not on par with

SHARONVILLE — Wrestling isone of those solitary sports.

It’s one-on-one. The weight’s thesame. And, once the match startsall that matters is how hard youworked prior to standing in thatcircle and how bad you want yourhand raised when it’s over.

Princeton High School wres-tling coach Ty Robbins knows alltoo well what it takes on the mat.He wrestled in high school and he’sbeen a coach for 26 years, the last14 of which have been at Princeton.

Right now, Robbins is practic-ing patience with a young group.

“We’ve got a lot of young kids,and for the first years and begin-ners, it’s been a learning curve,”said Robbins.

The first half of the season hasbeen long but now that Januaryhas rolled around, Robbins and hisVikings are feeling a bit betterabout their situation.

“I’m excited, I’ve been waitingfor this month,” Robbins said.“We’ve had some injuries and atransfer come over so we’re final-ly going to get everybody togetheras a team and wrestle together.”

Robbins knows that will help,especially for the younger kids.The older guys who have stepped

into leadership roles are seniorsAaron Turner, Anthony Alexanderand D’Alan Wright along with Ab-doulaye Guisse.

With just three seniorsand two juniors, Robbinswill tell you this is a re-building year at Prince-ton.

“This year is about get-ting experience and expo-sure to better teams andprograms. The young kidsget to watch the older kidsand see what it takes,”Robbins said.

Over a season, everyteam is working on im-proving. Robbins hopesthat by February the workwill start clicking.

“I think they need toget better at all aspects ofwrestling,” said Robbins.“I’d like for their tech-nique and mat awarenessto get better and learnhow to finish off a matchor go the full six minutes.”

Princeton hasn’t beenshy, either. The Vikingshave purposefully thrownthemselves into the big-gest and best tourna-ments with the most sea-soned grapplers. Robbinsknows that’s how his guyswill grow up.

“They’ve seen the levelof competition and wherethey need to be at,” Rob-bins said. “They’re com-ing together as a team andpushing each other in thatdirection, which is excit-ing.”

Nobody is going to tell Ste-phen Barrett that high schoolswimming is not a team sport.

Barrett, a senior at WyomingHigh School, has been a part oftoo many dramatic meets andhas raced and cheered duringtoo many edge-of-your-seat re-lays to believe that.

“People watch swimmingand say it’s not a team sport andthat really isn’t true,” Barrettsaid. “It is 100 percent a teamsport. We are there for each oth-er and the relays are a reallygood example of that.”

The team concept is some-thing Barrett has embracedsince he joined the Cowboys as afreshman.

“When I was a freshman, theteam wasn’t super close,” Bar-rett said. “It was kind of like theolder kids and then the youngerkids. I made it my goal as I gotolder that I wanted to make the

team closer. Each year, the teamgot closer and closer. So thisyear as a senior, one of my ex-pectations is to have a reallyclose team and make it a lot offun, even for the kids who aren’tthe club swimmers.”

A lot of the fun will comefrom winning – and the Cow-

boys expect to do a lot of that.Wyoming is ranked No. 1 in theEnquirer Division II coaches’poll and is working on a streakof consecutive Cincinnati HillsLeague titles that began in 2007.

Barrett will swim the 200 and500 freestyle events and hopesto get back to state in each

event. He also hopes to breakthe school record in the 500 thatJonathan Rutter set last season.

“I told him I was going to takeit,” Barrett said.

“This year is going to be areally good year. There are a lotof guys who have picked up.Their times have really im-proved and I think they’ll reallystep it up. I’m really looking op-timistically at the team. I thinkit will be really good.”

All-CHL seniors Ian Nybergand Max Chou, junior Christo-pher Rutter, sophomore CarsonBurt and freshman PhillipBrocker join Barrett.

“Our boys’ team has somegood team depth this year,”Wyoming coach David Elliottsaid. “We have a couple fresh-men that have come in and wehave a decent senior group. Wehave some really good relayteams.”

The Cowboys should havesome high-scoring relays put to-gether once the postseason ar-

rives.“Our freestyle relays should

be pretty strong,” Elliott said.“We’re constantly shuffling therelays around and constantlyletting the kids know thosespots are open. It’s a constantcompetition, really. It’s prettystraightforward. Obviously, thebest times will earn you a spot.But I think it’s good competitionfor the kids. It gets them moti-vated to swim fast and that’s theidea here at the beginning of theyear.”

Barrett is especially excitedfor the 400 free relay.

“We’ve got Carson Burt whois a sophomore this year,” Bar-rett said. “He’s putting up somereally impressive 100 freetimes. We’ve got Max Chou.He’s a butterflyer, but he’s got agood 100 free time and thenwe’ve got Phil Brocker who is afreshman this year. He’s reallyquick too. That will be a reallystrong relay. It’s somethingwe’re all really excited about.”

Stephen Barrett an his Wyoming teammates are ranked No. 1 in theEnquirer Division II coaches’ poll

The legacy is impossible forMount Notre Dame’s basketballplayers to ignore: Five Division Istate championships, six straightappearances in the finals, and a154-13 record from 2004 to 2009.

But when Dr. Scott Rogers re-turned last season for his secondstint as Cougars head coach afterguiding them to the school’s firsttwo state titles, he chose to dwell onthe present rather than the past.

“I don’t reference that time pe-riod too often,” said Rogers, wholeft for three seasons to coach atIndian Hill. “It was important forour players to quit looking up at thebanners and make their ownmark.”

After going a combined 41-51over four seasons, MND went 17-7last year in Rogers’ return to thehelm. This season, the Cougars are10-0 for the first time since 2009,when they went 27-1 en route to afourth straight state title.

“It’s hard sometimes to come topractice and see all those greatnames,” said senior forward Nao-mi Davenport, the Cougars’ lead-ing scorer. “We want our name upthere too. We want to be like them.But we want to make our own lega-cy. We’ve matured.”

MND, ranked No. 1 in the En-quirer Division I coaches’ poll,hosts Girls Greater CatholicLeague rival and 4th-ranked

McAuley at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.Rogers prefers not to put much

emphasis on the past, but his ex-pectations of the players in termsof preparation haven’t changedmuch since his first season at MNDin 2001.

“(Last year’s team) wasn’t usedto practicing as hard as we prac-ticed, or being held accountable fortheir play,” Rogers said. “We’re notthe most talented team in the citythis year, let alone the state of Ohio.But you won’t find many teamsthat work harder.”

And, you won’t find many play-ers in the state better than Daven-port.

Through eight games, the Uni-versity of Michigan commit was

leading the GGCL with 16.9 pointsper game and ranked second in theleague in rebounding. Davenporterupted for 31 points in a 73-53 vic-tory over Ursuline on Dec. 9.

Last season, Davenport aver-aged nearly 19 points and morethan 12 rebounds. She also ledMND in scoring as a sophomore.

But, the Cougars aren’t a one-person show. Six MND players av-erage six points or more. They’vescored 70 or more points threetimes and limited opponents tofewer than 40 points on seven occa-sions.

“Totally unselfish,” said Rogersof this year’s squad. “They don’tcare who scores. They work sohard, and they get it. Last year wasprobably the reverse.”

Davenport believes this year’steam is as close-knit as any groupduring her career. “We keep thingswithin the circle,” she said.

MND has six seniors and re-turned all five starters from lastseason. Sophomore Maria Pisciottais the team’s second-leading scorerand a rising star.

And, Rogers is there to keepthem level.

“When we feel the pressure, hekeeps us focused on the next game,the next play,” Davenport said. “Hegets us locked in. We’re as good ashe makes us, and he’s as good as wemake him. He has raised the bar.”

The agency did not is-sue a single smog alertduring the 2014 ozone sea-son. Favorable weather,industrial pollution con-trols and citizens practic-ing conservation habitscombined to help keepozone below the Un-healthy for SensitiveGroups level.

One of the agency’smost recognized publicinitiatives is its Idle Freeprogram. Multipleschools and public ser-vices joined in 2014. Theagency provides freesigns and brochures, aswell as educational andcommunication assis-tance to schools and otherentities that wish to im-plement an Idle Free cam-paign.

The agency would liketo acknowledge the fol-lowing organizations forgoing idle free in 2014:

Cincinnati ChristianSchool;

Cincinnati CountryDay School;

Cincinnati PublicSchools (Covedale Ele-mentary and Fairview-Clifton German LanguageSchool);

Clermont County Pub-lic Library;

Being idle free is theeasiest, no-cost way that acitizen can help with airquality. The agency workswith schools, communi-ties, businesses, parksand libraries to encouragemotorists to turn off theirvehicles when not driv-ing. People often idlewhen picking up or drop-ping off children, at fastfood and bank drive-thrusand while checking theirphones while parked.Idling generates unneces-sary air pollution whilewasting gasoline, and con-sequently, money.

To implement an idle-free campaign, pleasecontact the agency at 513-513-7754 or visit south-westohioair.org.

ITNGreaterCincinna-ti (ITNGC), a non-profittransportation providerfor older adults and visu-ally impaired adults,passed the 30,000 mark inNovember, having givenover 30,000 rides to Cin-cinnati and NorthernKentucky residents us-ing mostly volunteers toprovide these rides.

The mission of ITNGCis to provide seniors (60-and-older) and visuallyimpaired adults (18-and-older) with a 24/7 trans-portation resource that is“arm-through-arm, door-through-door, go whereyou want to go when youwant to go.” This modelempowers its non-driv-ing members to regain

control of their transpor-tation decisions. ITNGCbreaks down the isolationthat comes when seniorssurrender their keys, andgives visually impairedadults freedom to go be-yond bus routes at a costthey can afford.

One rider says that“ITN has given her herlife back.” Volunteerdrivers are needed tocontinue providing thisgreat service. This is oneof the most gratifyingvolunteer positions be-cause people are sothankful for the help andvolunteers work directlywith the recipient provid-ing rides to dialysis,shopping and more.
