Bike to Work Week may be inMay, but Rob Pasquinucci bikesto work throughout the year.

Pasquinucci, who is a mem-ber of the Cincinnati Cycle Cluband a former board member ofthe Hyde Park NeighborhoodCouncil, is excited by what he ishearing about the proposedEast Side trails.

“I’m optimistic,” he said.“There is a lot of momentum.It’s just a matter of finding thefinancing.”

“Specifically, you’re not hav-ing to change the existing roadsand highways,” he said.

While communities continueto focus on improving hikingand biking opportunities, sever-al proposed trails are under dis-cussion that will further en-hance the trail riding experi-ence.

Both the Oasis Trail and Was-son Way have received a signifi-cant amount of attention in re-cent months.

Anderson Township willhave a ribbon cutting to cele-brate the opening of a new sec-tion of the Little Miami ScenicTrail in May, while ClermontCounty is preparing for an ex-pansion of the Clermont Countytrail this summer.

In addition, a former HydePark Neighborhood Councilboard member says the recentattention given to bike trails in

the area is appropriate giventhat May is National BikeMonth and Bike to Work Week isMay 16 through 20.

Clermont CountyLast year a segment of the

Clermont County bike trail wascompleted that extended thetrail six miles from Williams-burg to Zagar Road in BataviaTownship.

This summer another por-tion of the trail will be complet-ed extending it to GreenbriarRoad in Batavia.

Chris Clingman, director ofthe Clermont County Park Dis-trict, said Short Summit Road,which connects to Zagar Road,will be paved up to GreenbriarRoad. The extension will beabout a mile.

Greenbriar Road will be bothaccessible to both cyclists andmotorists in what is referred toas shared use.

Clingman said future plansfor the Clermont County trailare to extend it to the William H.Harsha Lake Dam and the vil-lage of Batavia.

The trail will be about 15miles in length.

Clingman said the pavingand addition of signage shouldbe completed in July or August.

“People really like the ZagarRoad section of the trail be-cause is is through a woodedarea (and) a scenic trip throughthe woods, he said. “(The trail)connects to a fairly large subdi-

vision on Zagar Road (and) pro-vides another recreational op-portunity for the people livingthere.”

The Milford Bike Trail andthe Milford Trailhead are im-portant assets for both econom-ic-development and quality-of-life reasons, Milford Mayor

Laurie Howland said.“These important aspects to

the vitality of the city is whycouncil made the decision inearly 2015 to purchase the trail-head,” Howland said.

“We needed to preserve ouraccess to it.”

Howland said the bike trail,which is part of the Little MiamiScenic Trail, is a great recre-ational resource for residents.

“I, myself, probably run thetrail three to four days a weekduring the spring and summer,”Howland said.

“I know of other residentswho moved to Milford due to theaccess to the trailhead.”

The trail also brings in visi-tors.

“We also get a lot of cyclistswho come to the city, park, ridethe trail then spend another partof their day visiting our shopsand dining here,” Howland said.

“Access to the trailhead isalso a marketing tool that bothreal-estate agents and develop-ers use when selling property.

“Extension of the bike trialwill only aid in the economic de-velopment for those communi-ties along its route,” Howlandsaid.

A new ambulance joinsthe Pierce Township FireDepartment’s otherwiseaging fleet of vehicles.

Financial challengesand uncertainties in thetownship resulted inmany key purchasesbeing delayed. Lastspring, facing regularambulance breakdownsand repairs, the fire de-partment and PierceTownship Board of Trust-

ees agreed that theycould no longer delaybuying a new ambulance.

The new unit was or-dered around March 2015after the trustees ap-proved $191,000 in bondsto buy the unit. It wentinto service in late Febru-ary.

“We owe it to the vot-ers who overwhelminglypassed our fire and lifesquad levy allowing us toget better equipment,”assistant Fire Chief ScottLight said.

The 2.1-mills levy wasapproved by 61 percent ofPierce Township voters inNovember 2015.

By mid-summer, thedepartment expects to beready to order a new firetruck. The purchase willallow the department toretire the current 1991backup pumper and torotate the 2002 pumper tothe backup role.

The department willthen focus its attention onreplacing the 2004 ambu-lance that was wrecked.

Insurance money willcover a significant por-tion of the new ambu-lance’s cost.

I knowwhat you’re thinking. That those symptoms disruptingyour life—like sexual discomfort and accidental bladder andbowel leakage—are something you just have to deal with.Well, you don’t. You need to check out The Christ HospitalPelvic Floor Center. It’s a one-stop shop for pelvic floordisorders, with the best doctors andmost advanced treatmentoptions in the region. Stop coping with your symptoms andstart talking about them. The Christ Hospital—they’re herefor your pursuit.

By Mickey Karram, MD, The Christ Hospital Health Network

Don’t just keepon keeping on!

Age and childbirth take their tollon a woman’s body. But problemswith bowel and bladder control (andsex!) from a weakened pelvic floorare often fixable.

Women tend to put themselveslast. And cope. And not complain.But some personal problems, likesexual discomfort and accidentalbladder and bowel leakage, arereally troublesome. The painful em-barrassment these symptoms causewon’t go away on its own. Luckily,help for these common pelvic floorailments is at hand.

What is the pelvic floor?The pelvis is the ring of bones at-

tached to your legs at the hips. Thisring forms a basin that supports therest of your body. The pelvic flooris the sling of muscles, ligaments,connective tissues and nerves thatcovers the bottom of the basin. Thissling holds up organs in the pelvissuch as the bladder, rectum, uterus(womb) and vagina. Besides keepingthem in place, the pelvic floor helpsorgans work appropriately. In otherwords, it controls bladder and bowelfunction, keeps the organs in theirproper place and allows women tohave enjoyable intercourse.

How do I know if I havea pelvic floor problem?

Just as elastic wears out overtime, the pelvic floor muscles canbecome weak and the ligaments andother tissues can be stretched ordamaged. Extra strain in this areaincreases the chance of developinga problem. Past pregnancies withvaginal delivery, obesity, chroniccoughing, heavy lifting or strainingduring bowel movements increasethe risk. Aging and decreasedestrogen levels, as from menopauseor certain cancer treatments, alsoadd to the risk. So can any medicalcondition that affects the nerves, orsurgery or radiation in the pelvicarea. Almost 30 percent of wom-en — and some men, too — will, atsome time in their lives, develop apelvic floor disorder.

Problems with the pelvic floorcan lead to many symptoms. A fre-quent complaint is bowel or bladdercontrol problems. Muscle weaknessand/or nerve damage in this areacan cause urine leakage or inconti-nence, overactive bladder, bladderpain or frequent bladder infections.It can also cause incontinence ofstool, chronic constipation or diffi-culty evacuating your bowels.

In addition, some patients suf-fer from pelvic organ prolapse.Prolapse means that organs, suchas the bladder, rectum, uterus orvagina, are not well supported andsink lower than they should. Even-tually they can protrude outside thevaginal opening. If a woman lives tobe 80 years old, she has an 11 per-cent chance of having an operationfor prolapse. Other common prob-lems include pelvic pain, painfulintercourse and a variety of thingsthat can contribute to female sexualdysfunction.

What treatment optionsare there?

Many treatment options exist.These are tailored for each indi-vidual patient after initial testing.Therapy often combines approach-es. Simply educating a patient onher condition or making simplechanges in behavior sometimesdoes the trick. Nutritional counsel-ing can also help a patient avoidcertain foods that may worsen hisor her condition, or eat a high-fiberdiet to help soften stool.

Sometimes physical therapy andbiofeedback are used. These treat-ments can help patients learn to

identify, strengthen and relax theirpelvic muscles in order to improvebladder and bowel function, anddecrease pelvic pain. Medicationsare used to treat pelvic floor dis-orders such as overactive bladder,the thinning of tissues in the genitalarea and certain pain syndromes.

Another available treatmentoption is a pessary. A pessary is asmall plastic or silicone medicaldevice inserted into the vaginaor rectum. This device can helpsupport the pelvic organs and keepthem from falling out of place (pro-lapsing). Surgery may be recom-mended if symptoms persist afterother less-invasive options havebeen tried. Most surgical optionsare minimally invasive. This kindof surgery is generally less painful,with less scarring and a quickerrecovery than standard surgery.

The Williamsburg toBatavia Hike/BikeTrail is both off-road(utilizing abandonedroads) and shared-road(on Williamsburg-Ban-tam Road). Equestri-ans are permitted onthe portion of the trailthat follows Williams-burg-Bantam Road.

Plans are to extendit farther to the WilliamH. Harsha Lake Damfor a total of 15 miles.

ties in Kentucky andcounties in Indiana.

Many municipalities,townships, and parks arepart of this initiative, Ca-ruso said.

Along with the LittleMiami Trail, there are ef-forts to extend the OhioRiver Trail. A $30,000grant from Interact forHealth was recentlyawarded to AndersonTownship for preliminaryengineering for the exten-sion of the Ohio RiverTrail in Anderson. When

ing Newtown’s Short Parkat 3623 Church St.

“This is a great biketrail,” Kobasuk said.

Whether the trail willever connect with LakeBarber Park in Newtownremains to be seen.

Newtown opened thepark off Round Bottomand Edwards roads lastyear but is still studyingideas for its long-term de-velopment.

Business, communityand Newtown villageleaders brought togetherby a consultant have saidthey would like to seeLake Barber Park con-nected to the Little MiamiScenic Trail.

Anderson Township isalso part of Tri-StateTrails, an initiative ofGreen Umbrella (former-ly Regional Trails Alli-ance) focused on connect-ing Indiana, Kentuckyand Ohio via trails. Groupmembers include Hamil-ton, Clermont, Butler,Clinton and Warren coun-ties in Ohio, Campbell,Kenton and Boone coun-

mated $5 million. OhioRiver Way, which is spear-heading the project, isworking with a number ofpublic and private entitiesto procure funding for theproject. The city of Cin-cinnati has also donated asignificant amount for theproject.

Mills said the OasisTrail is essential in com-pleting the southern sec-tion of the Ohio to ErieTrail, which will extend330 miles throughout thestate of Ohio.

Additionally, it willserve as a connection tothe Ohio River Trail nearLunken Airport, he said.

Mills said a goal is tohave the Oasis Trail com-pleted in 2018. He saidonce it is completed , thetrail is expected to havean estimated one millionusers.

He said the trail alsohas a light rail component.

Mills said cooperationamong various groups is akey component.

“Doing it collectivelywith all of the governmentagencies working togeth-er improves the possibili-ty of completing each in-dividual project,” he said.

Connections fromAnderson Township,beyond

Anderson Township isan integral part of the re-gional bike trail connec-tivity efforts. Last fallwork began on a 3.15-mileextension of the Little Mi-ami Scenic Trail startingat the Great Parks ofHamilton County LittleMiami Golf Center and

extending through Ander-son Township to the areawhere Ohio 32 meets theBeechmont Levee. Therewill be a ribbon cuttingand celebration for the of-ficial opening of this newsection of trail starting at10 a.m. Saturday, May 21,at the Little Miami GolfCenter, 3811 NewtownRoad.

Great Parks and An-derson Township collabo-rated to make this trailconnection possible andcontinue efforts to fur-ther extend the trail, An-derson Township PlannerTom Caruso said. The Lit-tle Miami Trail is part ofthe larger Ohio to Erietrail. When it’s done, andit’s about 90 percent com-plete, the trail will extendfrom downtown Cincin-nati to Lake Erie in Cleve-land, all off of the road.

“This will be one oflargest and longest trailsin the country,” Carusosaid.

The township andGreat Parks are nowworking to generate dol-lars to fund a bridge toconnect the Little MiamiScenic Trail to the LunkenAirport Trail and Armled-er Park Trail.

“People will almost beable to get down to Cincin-nati,” he said.

Newtown Mayor MarkKobasuk welcomes theSaturday, May 21, openingof a 3.15-mile extension ofthe Little Miami ScenicTrail, stretching from theLittle Miami Golf Centerat 3811 Newtown Road inNewtown through Ander-son Township to theBeechmont Avenue/stateRoute 32 ramp inter-change.

The project is connect-ing communities throughtheir public parks, includ-

constructed, the new trailsection will extend toClermont County.

Caruso is hoping to col-laborate with ClermontCounty Parks, GreatParks, Pierce Townshipand New Richmond tobuild the Ohio River Trailthrough Clermont County.

“The aim is to get allthe way from downtownto New Richmond,” hesaid. “That’s for this part.On the other side, it will gofrom downtown to the In-diana border and on from

there.”Ultimately the trail

will connect Pittsburgh toCairo, Illinois.

The impetus behindthe efforts is all focusedon health. With connectiv-ity between trails andcommunities, there areincreased opportunitiesfor both passive and ac-tive physical activity, Ca-ruso said.

These trails also pro-vide economic benefitswith additional related de-velopment and tourism.

MAY 4, 2016 • COMMUNITY JOURNAL • 7ANEWS

I have to chuckle at the photo I’msharing today. Not a usual photo offood, but one that relates to food atits source.

It’s two of my grandchildren andtheir friend, Baxter. You’ll see Em-erson leading, Baxter behind andlittle Ellery last.

Their destination was supposedto be the green onion row wherethey were to pick onions for theCinco de Mayo spread recipe thatI’m sharing today.

Well, they spied the mulch pileand decided that was more fun thanpicking onions. I caught them walk-ing through the tilled garden ontheir way to the mulch.

I’ve also been to Emerson’sschool, along with two of my othergrandchildren, Eva and Jack, tocelebrate Earth Day and love thatthey are so interested in what Moth-er Nature has to offer.

I told the teachers Iwould share tips forherbs gardens, soalong with the recipesfor celebrating Cincode Mayo and DerbyDay, here’s good in-formation on herbgardening.

Tips on starting anherb garden

Herbs don’t require a lot of tend-ing. Good soil, watering until they’reestablished and good drainage isessential. If you grow in containers,know that you’ll have to water andfertilize a bit more.

Don’t over water or over fertil-ize, as you’ll wind up with lushgrowth but the volatile oils thatflavor the herbs won’t develop.

What herbs to grow?Think about the foods you like to

eat.Cook’s garden could include pars-

Derby Day mini hot browns

I’ve shared the Brown Hotel’s authentic hotbrown sandwich before for Derby Day. Here’s anappetizer version.

1/4 cup chicken broth3 tablespoons butter2 tablespoons flour3/4 cup half & half1 cup cheddar or Swiss or combo of both 18 slices snack rye bread or baguette slices8 oz sliced deli turkeyThinly sliced sweet onion, separated into

rings6 strips cooked and crumbled baconParsley

Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter over medi-um heat and stir in flour until smooth. Stir in creamand broth. Bring to boil and cook for a coupleminutes or until thickened, stirring constantly.Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted.Put bread on baking sheets. Layer each piece withturkey, onion and cheese sauce. Sprinkle withbacon. Bake 10 minutes or until heated through.Sprinkle with parsley.

Cinco de Mayo spread

16 oz refried beans (I like Mexican style)

1/4 cup Picante sauce1-1/2 cups guacamole1/2 cup each sour cream and mayonnaise2-3 tablespoons taco seasoning1 heaping cup shredded Mexican cheese

blend or cheddar2-1/4 oz can ripe olives, sliced and drainedGarnish: Chopped green onions, shredded

lettuce, chopped tomatoes, cheeseChopped fresh cilantro

Combine beans and Picante sauce. Spreadonto shallow platter. Spread with guacamole.Combine sour cream, mayo and taco seasoning andspread over guacamole. Sprinkle with garnishesincluding cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips.

Don’t like cilantro? You’re probably using toomuch. There’s a natural component of cilantro thathas the taste of soap. That’s why folks think cilan-tro tastes like soap when you use too much.

April 20 questionShould Ohio consider and

enact laws similar to those re-cently signed into law in NorthCarolina and Mississippi re-garding religious freedom andLGBT rights? Why or why not?

“Absolutely not! LGBTrights have to do with Amer-ican citizen rights not reli-gious rights. I consider my-self very religious. Thetimes the Jesus socializedwith people his society con-sidered outcasts are numer-ous. As religious people, weare called out to welcomeand love our neighbors (Je-sus didn’t put on qualifiers).As Americans, we shouldnot limit basic human rightssuch as feeling comfortableusing a rest room. As humanbeings, we’re learning moreand more about the geneticmakeup of people, findingthat biologically, there’smore a continuum of genderthan just male and female.Lastly, I don’t think it’s goodfor us as a state, seeing allthe businesses that havepulled ventures/events out,thus hurting those stateseconomically. One citizen’s‘being’ should not affectsomeone’s religious beliefs.

Mixingalcohol andmedicines canbe harmful toyour health.

Alcohol,like somemedicines, canmake yousleepy, drowsy,or lightheaded.Drinking alco-

hol while taking medicines canintensify these effects, conse-quently causing you troubleconcentrating or performingmechanical skills. Even smallamounts of alcohol can make itdangerous to drive, and whenyou mix alcohol with certainmedicines, you put yourself atan even greater risk.

The fact is that the dangerdescribed on bottles or pack-ages of medication when itdirects that alcohol should notbe consumed when taking aparticular medication, is realand can have significant healthramifications. According to theNational Institute on Health,National Institute on AlcoholAbuse and Alcoholism, “Mixing

alcohol with certain medica-tions can cause nausea andvomiting, headaches, drow-siness, fainting, or loss of coor-dination. As a result, a personcan become easily disorientedand/or unsteady and be at a fargreater risk than usual of a falland serious injuries, especiallyamong older adults.

Moreover, older adults tendto be at particularly high riskfor harmful alcohol-medicationinteractions. Aging slows thebody’s ability to break downalcohol, so alcohol remains in aperson’s system longer. A studywas recently conducted byinvestigators from the NIAAArevealed that 42 percent of the17,118 surveyed adults whoreported recent consumptionof alcohol also reported usingalcohol-interactive (AI) pre-scription medications. Howev-er, 78 percent of those 65 yearsof age or older reported thatthey engaged in this practice.

Women tend to have a high-er risk for problems than men.Because women’s bodies tendto have less water than men’s,the alcohol in her bloodstream

tends to reach a higher level.This is because a woman’s bodyusually has less water than aman’s. Because alcohol mixeswith body water, alcohol ismore concentrated in a wom-an’s body.

Some medications, that youmay not even suspect as havinga reaction to alcohol, can bebought “over-the-counter” andinclude those used to relievesymptoms relating to cough,cold, sinus and pain. When indoubt, always read the labeland directions on the bottle orpackage to determine any spe-cific side effects that mayoccur as a result of taking themedication.

In some cases, alcohol inter-actions may decrease the effec-tiveness of medications orrender them ineffective, whilein other cases, alcohol inter-actions may make drugs harm-ful or even toxic to the body.According to the website,WebMD, “One of the most com-mon causes of severe liverdamage -- including some casesrequiring a liver transplant – isa combination of the pain re-

liever acetaminophen (avail-able over the counter and insome prescription drugs) andalcohol. Other serious alcoholinteractions are associatedwith over-the-counter antihista-mines and herbal remediessuch as kava kava, St. John’swort, chamomile, valerian, andlavender.”

Mixing alcohol and medi-cines puts you at risk for dan-gerous reactions. Protect your-self by avoiding alcohol if youare taking a medication anddon’t know its effect. To learnmore about a medicine andwhether it will interact withalcohol, talk to your pharmacistor other health care provider.As is true with most every-thing, moderation is key andknow your meds and theirinteractions with alcohol be-fore partaking.

ficials who will do Bible readingwhile area pastors pray for ourcountry, our county, our com-munity and our children. .Patri-otic music will echo thru thestreets while “Ol’ Glory” wavesin the warm breeze.

LETTERS TO THEEDITOR

ClermontCounty PublicHealth is urg-ing citizens toprotect them-selves againstmosquito bitesthis summer.

Mosquitosare known car-riers of diseasesuch as WestNile Virus and

other viruses that can cause en-cephalitis. More recently thereis concern with Zika virus.

The main carrier of the Zikavirus is the yellow fever mosqui-to, which lives in the tropics andthe southern United States, but isnot found in Ohio. A closely relat-ed species, the Asian tiger mos-

quito, is present in Ohio and maypotentially transmit the virus.Currently all cases of Zika virusin Ohio have been from travelersreturning from impacted areas.

Although nearly 80 percent ofindividuals infected with the vi-rus won’t show any signs orsymptoms, the biggest threat isto pregnant women who cantransmit the virus to their fetusduring pregnancy. The Centersfor Disease Control has recentlyconfirmed that Zika duringpregnancy can cause birth de-fects such as microcephaly, acondition where an infant’s headis smaller than average.

Clermont County PublicHealth will be participating inthe U.S. Zika pregnancy regis-try.

“We will be notified by theOhio Department of Health ifany pregnant women in Cler-mont County test positive forZika, then they will be mon-itored by one of our registerednurses,” Health CommissionerJulianne Nesbit said. The CDCis also advising that pregnantwomen avoid traveling toareas where Zika virus trans-mission is ongoing.

“It is always important toprotect yourself and yourfamily from mosquito bites.Taking simple precautions likeusing an EPA-registered insectrepellant and wearing longpants and shirt is the mosteffective way to protectagainst bites,” Nesbit said.

Homeowners can also make

their yards uninviting to mos-quitos. Adult mosquitos preferto rest in tall weeds and grass-es, and use small puddles ofstagnant water to breed andlay their eggs.

“Checking to make surethere is nothing that will col-lect water after a rainstorm,such as children’s play equip-ment, buckets, or empty flow-er pots, will deter mosquitosfrom using your yard as abreeding ground,” Nesbit said.

Visit Clermont County Pub-lic Health’s website atwww.ccphohio.org or followtheir Facebook page for up-dates on Zika in Ohio and otherpublic health issues.

Julianne Nesbit is ClermontCounty Health commissioner.

Falling is aserious healthrisk amongolder adults. Infact, in Hamil-ton County fallsare the leadingcause of hospi-talizations,emergencyroom visits anddeaths in indi-

viduals over age 65, and one outof three persons aged 65 andolder falls annually.

Nationally, these types ofemergency room visits andhospitalizations result in $30billion a year being spent treat-ing older adults for the effectsof falls.

Not only are falls expensive

to treat, but the pain and injurythey cause keeps older adultsfrom maintaining an active andhealthy lifestyle. This can resultin a drastic loss of independence.

According to the HamiltonCounty General Health Depart-ment, 48 percent of falls occur inthe home. Of those, approximate-ly one out of three home falls aredue to environmental issues.What this means is that many,many of the falls that happenwithin the home can be avoided ifthe home environment is se-cured, and in some cases mod-ified, for fall prevention.

So what can be done to reducethe likelihood of falls? An easyway to begin is to look at some ofthe most common locations forfalls, like doorways, cluttered

hallways, areas with heavytraffic, stairs and bathrooms.Simple steps to prevent in-homefalls include removing throwrugs or ensuring floor coveringsare secured with a non-skidbacking. It’s also important tosecure electrical and phonecords out of walkways, and toremove tripping hazards likepaper, boxes, toys and clothesfrom stairs and walkways.

Staircases are one of themost common areas for falls,and should be looked at careful-ly to ensure safety and security.At Whole Home Modifications,our experts recommend in-stalling railings on both sides ofstaircases, both inside and out-side of the home. Our expertsalso recommend installing addi-

tional lighting at the top andbottom of staircases.

Another common problemarea is the bathroom. Fromslippery tub bottoms to slick tilefloors and high barrier shower/tub combinations, the bathroomis an area where families arethe most vulnerable. Fortunate-ly, bathroom safety products arenow available in high-end fin-ishes and beautiful designs, soyou don’t need to choose be-tween a safe, secure bathroomand a beautiful bathroom. A fewideas include installing a walk-in/roll-in shower stall designwith inconspicuous grab bars,and choosing toilet paper hold-ers and towel racks that serveas additional support.

The important thing to re-

member is that falling does nothave to be a part of gettingolder. There are easy steps thatcan be taken to prevent falls,and to make your home a safeplace so that you can maintainthe healthy, active lifestyle youenjoy.

If you’re not sure where tostart, consider calling WholeHome Modifications at 482-5100for an in-home consultation withan expert. We will conduct adetailed Fall Prevention assess-ment, and can guide you in thebest direction to ensure safetyand prevent falls.

Amelia clinched a share of the SBAAC-American Division with an 11-1 winover Batavia April 25.

UNION TWP. - In his firstyear coaching the Glen EsteHigh School baseball team,Deuce Bauer has had to play thehand he was dealt.

In a tough Eastern CincinnatiConference, with the gradua-tion of one of the best Trojanteams ever last spring, it’s beenfar from easy.

A year ago, A.J. Sweatland,Dylan Chafin, Peyton Burdickand Ronnie Murphy combinedfor 130 hits. On the mound, ZachJones and Evan Moores teamedup for 11 wins. Those numbersare hard to replace, as is a veter-an coach like Mike Hatfield.

Faced with those odds, Bauerhas boldly marched on in a con-ference that, at presstime, fea-tured the top two teams in thecity in Milford and Loveland.

“It’s a work in progress,”Bauer said. “We’re taking it onegame at a time trying to piecetogether wins every chance weget.”

Glen Este has eight seniors, ajunior, seven sophomores and afreshman on the roster. Of theseniors, Jordan Funk had themost experience last springplaying in 24 games. Jake Dianaand Tanner Ayers played in 14.All of the 2016 class had to bidetheir time behind the talentedTrojans of 2015.

From this year’s squad, sen-ior innings on the mound havebeen split between Funk, Ayers,Avery Jones, Andrew McFar-land and Gage Stewart. McFar-land will play football at MountSt. Joseph, while Jones will trybaseball and maybe wrestle atThomas More. Funk will attendMissouri Valley along with hissister, Payton.

The Trojans have alreadybattled Milford twice and cer-tainly remember Lovelandfrom last year’s heartbreakingtournament finale. A big ECCwin came April 13 at Kingswhen Glen Este won 10-5 in ex-tra innings. The Knights have

been in the top portion of theleague standings all season withMilford and Loveland.

Jones and Ayers have toppedthe team in hitting and runs bat-

ted in thus far, but sophomorefirst baseman Tyler Steinkerhas had a consistent seasonabove .300. Freshman JackTowell has also gained valuable

varsity time.This year’s lumps could

make Glen Este tough as theyapproach their final season ofbaseball next spring. In the fallof 2017, Glen Este and Ameliacombine to form the West Cler-mont Wolves.

“Everything’s working out,”Bauer said. “I think with the ex-perience this year, the youngkids should be able to step upand play some good baseball.”

The hats of Steinker andTowell will eventually sport a“WC” instead of the current “G”and pristine fields surely awaitin the green space off of CloughPike. In the meantime, the pur-ple lads of Bauer still have thisseason and a chance for extrabaseball in May.

“You never know,” Bauersaid. “If we show up to play ballI think we can beat anybody onany given day.”

Glen Este wraps the regularseason up at home against LittleMiami May 6 at 5 p.m.

NEWTOWN - On April21, Chicago pitcher JakeArrieta threw his secondmajor league no-hitter asthe Cubs put a soundwhipping on the Reds,16-0.

Two days later, he pro-vided inspiration for an-other Jake who jokinglytold his Miami ValleyChristian Academy team-mates he was going to du-plicate Arrieta’s efforts.Seven innings later,MVCA senior Jake Kaiserwalked off the mound inKentucky having defeat-ed Seven Hills 8-1 with ano-hitter.

Seeing as coaches hadkept tight-lipped aboutthe effort, only a handfulof Lions knew Kaiser hadkept the Stingers hitless.There was no “dogpile”celebration or Gatoradeshower.

“A lot of the kids didn’teven know it happened,”Kaiser said. “There wasnothing until the coachbrought us together andtold everyone.”

Kaiser himself knewand felt his prophecycould come to fruitionwhen it got to be the fifthinning. That’s when it first

sank in that Seven Hillswas posting a zero underthe letter “H” on thescoreboard.

Listed on the MVCAroster as a left fielder andcatcher, Kaiser hasproved to be more thantolerable from the bumpthat sits 60 feet 6 inchesfrom home plate.

“They didn’t need meat catcher as much, sothey started working withme as a pitcher,” Kaisersaid. “I picked up on itpretty quickly.”

Kaiser had pitchedbriefly in relief, but hadnever thrown multiple in-nings as a starter. Now,he’s in the MVCA recordbooks with the school’sfirst baseball no-hitter.

In the game with SevenHills, Kaiser started withjust routine fastballs, try-ing to get loose. By thefifth inning, with gooseeggs on the scoreboardand brimming with confi-dence, he found a curve-ball.

Though he had hisshare of strikeouts, Kai-ser credits his infieldersfor their leather workwhich took the sting out ofthe Stingrays. In additionto it being his first no-hit-ter, it was also Kaiser’sfirst complete game.

“I probably threw 80 or90 pitches,” he said. “I gota lot of ground balls and acouple of double plays.”

The senior had a roughsecond inning when aspell of wildness enabledSeven Hills to score byway of errors and hit bats-men. Once beyond thebrief stumble, Kaiser be-gan to deal.

“I felt really tight, butthey only got one run, so Ifigured I was good,” hesaid.

When not pitching,Kaiser is in left field chas-ing down fly balls. He’salso swung the bat reallywell and has strung to-gether a few multiple-hitgames. He had a coupleknocks in his no-hitter.

With the Lions he hasalso played basketball andran cross country to get inshape for the winter hoopseason. On the mound, henow has a story for theages.

He will now switchfrom purple with the Li-ons to Xavier Musketeerblue. He plans on major-ing in business marketingoff Victory Parkway.

Up ahead for the Lionsare games against River-view East at home andMiddletown Madison onthe road May 5-6.

SPRING SERVICE SPECIAL

Howdyfolks,

Lastweekendwas a verybusy one.The GrantsFarm andGreen-houses hadtheir annu-al open

house at all three greenhouses - one at the farmon Bucktown Road offstate Route 50, one onstate Route 131 aboveWilliams Corner and theother one at Milford.

The one at the farm,by 9 a.m. Saturday morn-ing people were lookingfor parking places. RuthAnn and I always volun-teered for Grants Farmand Greenhouse andwhen we had the timewould go and help re-plant some of the plants.We always enjoyed beingthere to help. The Grantsalways do so much forthe community. Theyhave about 17 green-houses at the farm. Theirson Jason does the farm-ing while dad takes careof the green houses.

While I talked to Mikeat the Boars Head BaitShop, I looked out thewindow and by the car-penter shop there werethree hen turkeys and abig tom turkey struttinghis stuff and spreadinghis feathers. He wastrying to interest one ofthe hens, but they justwalked the other direc-tion and the tom wasn’tgoing to give up but they

all went to the woods. Hekept spreading his feath-ers and gobbling but sofar to no avail.

I have never gotteninterested in turkeyhunting - only went onetime. I imagine the tur-keys were watching meinstead of me watchingthem. I enjoy watchingthe tom spread his feath-ers and gobble. Ruth Annand I always did ourturkey hunting at Kroger.

Now back to last Sat-urday, the Grant Schoolhere in Bethel had theirbig event on Saturday.They had a ribbon cut-ting ceremony at theirnew building at 3088Angel Drive behind theMcDonald’s in Bethel forthe Adult EducationCampus. From noon to 4p.m. they had games,booths, prizes and ponyrides. From 2 p.m. to 4p.m. they had the SecondAnnual Grant Cruise-In.Boy it was great.

Then from 4 p.m. to 7p.m. they had a ham andchicken dinner buffetand by golly it was won-derful. This meal wasonly $5. They have this asan appreciation to thecommunity for support-ing the school. There are15 different types ofprograms the studentscan get an education in.The Bethel area is soblessed to have theschools for the studentsto get a good education.Well, all schools are do-ing their part to helpstudents.

Now Mr. Chester he is

doing fine. When I wentto the Grants Farm bothSaturday and Sunday, hestayed in the house andwhen I got home he wasstill laying on my bed.

The garden is comingalong - the walls of waterI put out the middle ofMarch and the tomatoes Iput in April 1 are bloom-ing. These sure help getsome early ripe toma-toes. The Village Hard-ware in Bethel have thewalls of water - they callthem Kozy Koats nowand they are red. I havesix of them.

I was tilling the raisedbeds and set some redRomain lettuce in oneraised bed. We raisedthat lettuce a coupleyears ago and Ruth Annsure loved it and so did I.You can get the lettuce atthe Grants, along withmany other plants.

The two hardwarestores in Bethel - Bishopsand Village Hardware -have different kinds ofplants to sell. I got a cou-ple of tomato plants fromthe Village Hardwareand they are blooming.My daughter always getsto pull the first ripe to-mato in June.

Start your week bygoing to the house ofworship of your choiceand praising the goodLord. God bless all...More later...

George Rooks is aretired park ranger. Heserved for 28 years withthe last five as managerof East Fork State Park.

The garden is starting to bloomthanks to walls of water
