CHEESO DEMAYORita shares chilicheese dip recipe.A7

ANDERSON TWP — . A person-nel matter involving the ForestHills superintendent remainedunresolved Monday night.

The Forest Hills schoolboard went into executive ses-sion during its April 27 meetingto discuss the results of an in-vestigation on a proceduralmatter involving Dallas Jack-son.

A letter submitted to theschool board signed by at leasttwo dozen Turpin High Schoolteachers alleges that Jacksonasked that exam grades from apre-calculus course be pulledafter seeing his son’s score.Jackson then made a determi-nation the exam was invalidbased on the number of failures,according to the letter.

The letter questioned theethics of the superintendent’sactions and also claimed thiswasn’t the first instance of whatthe letter referred to as “bully-ing” by the superintendent.

Forest Hills Journal hasmade a number of public rec-ords requests associated withthe investigation, including theidentity of the investigator andhow much the district is payingfor the investigation. That re-quest was made April 16. ForestHills Journal also requested acopy of Jackson’s personnel fileApril 23. District attorney Wil-liam Deters II said recordswould be forwarded April 28.

Ohio law requires school dis-tricts to provide public records“promptly” once they are re-quested. Personnel files in par-ticular are typically readilyavailable – often the same day arequest is made, said DennisHetzel, Ohio Newspaper Asso-

ciation executive director.“The law is pretty clear in

these matters that it shouldn’tbe more than a few days at themost to respond to that type ofrequest,” Hetzel said. “In thecase of a school superintendentbeing under investigation,there’s profound public interestin knowing and understandingwhat’s going on.”

The board has not providedspecifics regarding the investi-gation, saying it is a personnelmatter.

Jackson has not returnedseveral messages from the For-est Hills Journal.

A standing room only crowdattended the meeting, but it isuncertain how many peoplewere there to hear about thematter involving Jackson sincethe board also honored a num-ber of staff and volunteers.

Only one person spoke dur-ing the public commentary.

Darlene Bennell, whom Cin-cinnati.com quoted in a recentstory, defended Jackson, sayingher daughter was among thestudents who failed the test. Shesaid her daughter had done wellon previous tests in pre-calcu-lus.

“I reached out to the superin-tendent to express my concerns(regarding the exam),” she said.“Something fell through thecracks.”

Bennell’s daughter is datingJackson’s son.

Board members did notmake any comments during theboard discussion portion of themeeting. An effort to reachboard members following theexecutive session was unsuc-cessful.

COLLECTION TIME

Anderson Township ParkDistrict is committed to mov-ing forward with a land pur-chase, but continues to weighoptions regarding a bond levyamount.

During a special meetingApril 21, the Board of ParkCommissioners directed Exec-utive Director Ken Kushner tonotify Beech Acres ParentingCenter of its intent to place abond issue on the Novemberballot.

Money generated by thebond, if approved, would en-able the purchase from BeechAcres of the RecPlex and 28acres along Beechmont Ave-nue that adjoins the park dis-trict’s Beech Acres Park.

The board has a May 8 dead-line to make its intentionsknown to the parenting center,Board President Dale Bartholo-mew said.

Earlier this month, at twoseparate meetings, the boardapproved two bond issueamounts to potentially place be-fore voters – a 1-mill bond and.7-mill bond.

The 1-mill, 20-year bond is-sue would raise nearly $24.5million. The additional cost tohomeowners would be $35 forevery $100,000 market value.Levy passage would enable thepark district to buy the Rec-Plex, the park district’s only in-door recreation facility, andland along Beechmont Avenuefor $5.4 million. The park dis-trict leases the RecPlex fromBeech Acres Parenting Center.Additionally, if approved, thebond levy would provideenough funds to make up-grades and improvements tothe RecPlex and the district’s

other parks and facilities.The 0.7-mill, 15-year bond is-

sue would raise more than $12.8and cost the owner of a $100,000home $24.50 per year. Thiswould provide enough moneyto buy and renovate the Rec-Plex and purchase the 28 acres.

Another millage amount be-ing discussed is 0.8-mills forpossibly 15 years. This wouldraise over $14.6 million peryear and cost the owner of a$100,000 home $28 per year.This bond amount would allowfor the same as the 0.7-millsplus allow for a little extra mon-ey for unforeseen issues thatfrequently arise during renova-tion projects.

The board will continue itsdiscussion at its next regularmeeting, 6:30 p.m. Tuesday,May 12, at the Juilfs Park Of-fice, 8249 Clough Pike.

At that same meeting, theboard will hear a presentationfrom John Fox Consulting re-garding the findings of a recentpark district survey. Survey re-sults are available on the parkdistrict’s website, April 15 –www.andersonparks.com.

During the April AndersonTownship Board of Trusteesmeeting, Trustee Josh Gerthsaid that there are alternativeplans being considered for theBeech Acres property, butnothing concrete as yet. Thetrustees are hopeful that theywill soon have something topresent to the community, hesaid.

Park District Vice PresidentNadine Gelter said there is stillnothing specific in place re-garding alternative plans orpartnerships with private orpublic entities for purchaseand/or development of BeechAcres. Because of this, she saidthat the board should continue

moving forward.Gelter restated her support

of a lower millage bond issue.“I think it’s pretty clear from

the survey that people are in fa-vor of purchasing the propertyfor public use,” she said. What’snot as clear is now people wantthe land used.

“I think we should ask forwhat it takes to purchase theproperty and rehab the Rec-Plex,” she said.

Bartholomew and boardmembers Tom Turchiano andAngie Stocker agreed.

“I think the most importantthing is to secure the property,”Turchiano said. “Once we se-cure the property I think thereare partnerships we can get todevelop the property.”

He expressed a concern that0.7-mill bond might not beenough money to achieve thepurchase and renovation of theRecPlex. Instead he suggesteda .8-mill would be a betterchoice.

Stocker agreed and said thata 0.7-mill bond is too low.

Bartholomew said the bondamount needs to be highenough to provide enough re-serves to get matching fundgrants. Some of the grants thepark district has recently con-sidered require matches of 40percent or 50 percent.

“I think we’re good at get-ting those grants,” he said.

Board Member Rob Herk-ing said that he still supports a1-mill bond. He has three chil-dren that enjoy the parks. He’sopen to lower amounts if that’sthe wish of the other boardmembers, he added.

The board has until Aug. 5 tofile its bond issue with theHamilton County Board ofElections in order to appear onthe November ticket.

“I admire how hardyou work every day.”

That was the messageshared near tax time by aman standing at the cor-ner of Beechmont Ave-nue and Five Mile. Twit-ter was a buzz - “What’sit mean?” “What’s hedoing?” “Who is that?”

Monday through Fri-day since April 13, some-one has stood at the cor-ner during rush-hourssharing uplifting mes-sages.

“I love telling thestory of how we met.” “Icouldn’t have asked forbetter parents.” Recent-ly, James Christian Jr.held a sign – “I will al-ways make grilledcheese like you.”

Christian explainedthat he is an actor andone of several strate-gically located through-out Cincinnati sharingmessages as part of acampaign for Hospice ofCincinnati.

The campaign, #thing-syoushouldntwaittosay,is targeting the youngand healthy population toget them thinking abouthaving meaningful con-versations, public rela-tions consultant TerriHornbach-Torres ex-plained.

“It’s hard to reachpeople with a conversa-tion about the end oflife,” she said. “So this isgetting people at theircomfort level.”

The idea is to get peo-ple talking. It’s a fourweek campaign that endsMay 8.

The campaign res-

onates for Christian.“This is very passion-

ate for me. My motherwas diagnosed withALS,” he said. The firstsign, “I admire how hardyou work every day”

spoke volumes to Chris-tian.

“That was special tome,” he said. “That wasthe exact same phrase Iwould tell my mom.”When she went to thera-

py, doctors’ appoint-ments, he would say thisto motivate his mother.

The #thingsyoush-ouldntwaittosay cam-paign is really aboutencouraging people tohave meaningful con-versations with lovedone, Hospice of Cincin-nati project director ofConversations of a Life-time Barbara Rose said.

“Many of the thingspeople don’t talk aboutwith their loved ones iswhat’s important to

them,” she said. Thecampaign is filled withpositive messages thatresonate with all ages,health status, all gendersencouraging them tohave meaningful con-versations that are pret-ty easy to start.

One of the things peo-ple don’t talk about withtheir loved ones is what’simportant to them – whomight speak for them ifthey couldn’t, Rose ex-plained.

The campaign is part

of the “Conversations ofa Lifetime” initiative byHospice of Cincinnati totransform end-of-lifecare in Greater Cincin-nati and improve end-of-life experiences, Rosesaid. The program willencourage earlier end-of-life planning conversa-tions between physi-cians, patients and fam-ilies.

The #thingsyoush-ouldntwaittosay cam-paign is the communityactivation part of theproject.

Over coming weeks,more will be revealedabout this campaign anda new campaign will belaunched this summer.

Work to remodel New-town’s former town hallinto quarters for the vil-lage police department is

to begin this month.Newtown Village

Council agreed to payJohn P. Tumlin & Sons ofHarrison $333,770 for theproject, which is expect-ed to be completed in six

months.Tumlin & Sons was se-

lected for submitting abid in that amount. It wasthe lowest among fivebids submitted – whichranged as high as$430,000, Newtown Vil-lage Councilman CurtTiettmeyer said.

The village opened itsnew Newtown MunicipalCenter and the AmericanIndian Education Centerat 3537 Church St. in No-vember 2013.

It is right across theroad from the old town

hall at 3536 Church St.,where Newtown is ex-panding its police quar-ters.

The police departmenthas for more than 30years operated in 430square feet of the about3,000-square-foot oldNewtown town hall.

The renovated policequarters are to include alarger patrol work area,an interview room, atraining room, a confer-ence room, an evidenceroom, an armory, an ITroom, a locker room, alobby, a handicap ramp

and offices for detec-tives, sergeants, lieuten-ants and the chief.

“Currently almost allof that was done in the430 square feet which ob-viously made it morechallenging to do ourjobs,” Newtown PoliceChief Thomas Synan Jr.said.

“This project will al-low us to better utilizework space, move us outof a very small and ineffi-cient space and will allowour facility to match theprofessionalism of ourofficers.”

In addition to Synan,nine officers and one ci-vilian work for the vil-lage police department.

“We will remain in ourcurrent space until thebuild-out is complete,then move to that spaceand they will finish theproject by remodelingthe current space we oc-cupy,” Synan said.

FOREST HILLSJOURNALEditor: Richard Maloney, [email protected], 248-7134

» When “Joseph and theAmazing Technicolor Dream-coat“ opens at Anderson HighSchool May 1, it will set a fewrecords for the Theater De-partment there.

With 40 high school stu-dents and 40 elementary stu-dents, the cast is the biggeston record.

Those 40 elementary stu-dents comprise the largestnumber of young actors inhistory as well, and adding inthe crew and the orchestrameans there are more than 180students involved with thisshow.

These impressive numbersshow a lot of strength in theperforming arts at Anderson,but the most interesting statis-tic is the number of familygroups involved with the pro-duction. There are 16 sets ofsiblings working together onthis show – in wonderful sym-metry with a musical that isall about brothers and family.

The show itself, with lyricsby Tim Rice (”The Lion King,”“Aida”) and music by AndrewLloyd Webber (”Phantom ofthe Opera,” “Cats”), is a hilari-ous and vibrant take on theBiblical saga of Joseph, hiscoat of many colors, and the 11brothers who come to regrettheir jealousy.

The powerful nature of theshow has captivated audienceswith spectacular song anddance.

The music, with songs like“Close Every Door” and “AnyDream Will Do,” covers a widerange of styles, from countryto rock-n-roll and back again.

Performances of “Josephand the Amazing TechnicolorDreamcoat “are 7 p.m. May 1and 2; and 2 p.m. May 2 and 3.Tickets are $10 each and canbe ordered online atwww.ShowTix4U.com or pur-chased at the door. For moreinformation, visit Anderson

Theatre.com. “No matter what type of

music audience members like,they can find something toenjoy in the show – it has ev-erything!” said AHS seniorLily Bishop, who plays violinin the pit orchestra.

Her sister Eleanor, a sopho-more, is in the cast playingone of the wives. “We like tolisten to the soundtrack to-gether,” Lily said, “which canbe entertaining because shesings the lyrics and I attemptto sing the orchestral parts.”

Although their roles arevery different, both sisters

respect the hard work that theother is doing to make theproduction come alive. Elea-nor says, “Having a sibling inthe pit gives me a respect forall the hard work they do, andan understanding of how diffi-cult and demanding of a job itis.”

Lily adds, “Seeing howmuch time and effort my sis-ter is putting into the showdefinitely motivates me towork harder to create the bestshow possible.”

The siblings that haveworked the closest and thelongest are Ashley and Emma

Byrd, both seniors who havebeen involved with AndersonTheater shows together sincethey were freshmen; this istheir 13th show together.

“Over the years we haveworked our way up from crewto designers,” Ashley said.

Ashley eventually focusedon hair and make-up, whileEmma focused on costumes.Emma says, “You can't have acostume without hair andmakeup, so together we makequite the pair, running thedressing rooms during theshow. It has really allowed usto work off of each other and

spend countless hours togeth-er doing something we love."

One of the newest pairs issophomore Nicole Moulas andher sister Emma, who is afourth-grade student at Sum-mit Elementary.

“Getting to work with mylittle sister is such a wonder-ful experience,” Nicole said.“After each of her rehearsals,she is so excited to tell meeverything she has learnedthat day. It gives me joy to seeher having as much fun withJoseph as I am.”

As for Emma, she is thrilledwith the experience. “Nicole issix years older than me. Thisshow will be the first time weget to do something together!”Emma said. “We both love tosing and be on stage so it willbe fun to share this experi-ence with her.”

If you need more reasonthan that to come see thisgreat family show, EmmaMoulas has a final messagefor you: “I laughed when Iread the script and sang thesongs. I think you will enjoy ittoo.”

Cincinnati Country Day» Billy Chace, an actor and

teaching artist from Cincin-nati Shakespeare Company,visited Cincinnati CountryDay School twice in April towork with eight students onchanneling their best Shake-speare performances.

APRIL 29, 2015 • FOREST HILLS JOURNAL • 7ANEWS

When we plow the garden for oursummer vegetables and flowers, thegrandkids repeat what my own kidsasked when they were little: “Are yougoing to plant potatoes, onions and

carrots?” The answer, ofcourse, is always yes.

Digging for potatoesor pulling up onions orcarrots out of theground is like findingburied treasure. Thenice thing about grow-ing these three veggiesis that they can begrown in the ground orin a container, like abushel basket.

We especially like new potatoesfreshly dug from the garden. Here’s ayummy recipe using a different tech-nique for cooking them.

Readers want to know:What’s the best mint for Juleps and

how do you make them?Spearmint for sure. Make a simple

syrup of 2 cups each sugar and water,add about 1 cup mint leaves, smooshwith spoon to release flavor, and boiluntil sugar dissolves. Cool and strain.

Fill an 8oz. glass with crushed ice,add mint syrup to taste (start withabout 4 tablespoons and go from there.Some people like it real sweet andminty, up to 1/2 cup) and up to 4 table-spoons Kentucky bourbon. Stir realquick to make the glass frost on theoutside and garnish with a mint sprig.

Earth Day fun!So much fun sharing seeds and

planting annuals with grandkids Evaand her class at Kilgour School andJack and Will at Guardian AngelsSchool. Thanks to Natorp’s for supply-ing plants.

Root veggies, Cinco de Mayo on menu

Stovetop roasted fingerlings with butter andparsley

I saw Ina Garten make a variation of these and just had to makesome myself. I used my heavy enameled cast iron Le Creuset pot.Make sure potatoes are about the same size so they cook evenly.

1/4 cup butter1-1/2 pounds fingerling or very small potatoes, rinsed but not

peeledSalt and pepper to tasteChopped parsley

Melt the butter in a large heavy pot. Add potatoes, salt, andpepper, and toss well. Cover tightly and cook over low heat for 20 to30 minutes, until potatoes are just tender when tested with a smallknife. Shake pot occasionally without removing lid to prevent thebottom potatoes from burning. Turn off heat and steam 5 minutes.Don't overcook. Stir in parsley.

Tip: Ina used dill so try that, too.

Cinco de Mayo chili cheese dip

I like to sprinkle the finished dish with more cilantro. If youwant a spicy kick, substitute tomatoes with chilies, drained for thediced tomatoes.

15 oz. can chili with beans14 oz. can petite diced tomatoes, drained3 green onions, sliced thin, white and green part bothCilantro to taste8 oz. cream cheese, softenedGenerous cup corn chips, finely crushed8 oz. Taco or Mexican blend shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 375. Spray an 8-inch baking pan or small ovenproof casserole. Stir together chili, tomatoes, onions and cilantro.Spread cream cheese in bottom of baking dish. Top with a layer ofchili mixture. Sprinkle top with the corn chips and cheese. Bake untilcheese melts and bubbles a bit, about 15 minutes. Serve with cornchips or veggies.

A publication of

April 22 questionNow that the U.S. is “normal-

izing” relations with Cuba, andhas removed it from the list ofstate sponsors of terrorism,how will this benefit or hurt theU.S.? Would you be more or lesslikely to visit Cuba? Why or whynot?

“There are many thingsabout our history with theCommunist Cuban govern-ment, that are not America’sproudest moments. That beingsaid, I see absolutely no bene-fit to the U.S. in recognizingCuba, as long as it is underCastro. If the former resi-dents, through Congress, re-quest normalization, I mightchange my mind.

“Our currently failed for-eign policies certainly do notgain any strength in our de-mands for human rights.Strange, to me, is how we keptthe sanctions on South Africauntil they failed internally,but we seem desperate to notdo the same to terrorist na-tions like Iran and Cuba.

“BTW I found the beachesat Guantanamo Bay to be

some of the most beautiful inthe world on numerous occa-sions. Probably, Marriottcould build a five star resortthere in place of the TalibanTowers Resort. I’m still wait-ing to go to the Hilton that Iwas sure would be built onNha Trang’s beach.”

D.B.

“I’ve known many peoplethat have been able to go toCuba under the guise of artis-tic or university/academic-sponsored trips, so although itwas off limits to the casual

U.S. citizen there were waysto travel there.

“I think Cuba will benefit interms of tourism dollars andas for the U.S. it could becomea popular destination for vaca-tions and leisure.

“The importance of thisthawing is that the Cubanpeople reap some type of ben-efit both in terms of economicand societal. I believe theyhave been harmed the most bytheir system of governmentand our cutting of ties.”

“Although I was in highschool during the Reaganyears, I never felt that Cubawas in any way a threat to theUnited States. I am surprisedit took this long for the U.S. tonormalize relations withthem.”

C.S.

“Normalizing relationswith Cuba is the first and onlything Obama has done duringhis reign that finally makescomplete sense. It’s abouttime. Whether this change willbe a real benefit to the USA isyet to be seen, but it will abso-lutely be a significant benefit

to the Cuban people. The tour-ism dollars alone flooding intotheir economy will be wellreceived and create a starttoward reliving a noticeableportion of the suffering en-dured daily by the populace.

“Yes, it remains a Commu-nist society and the trickledown to the common folkfrom the new-found largessemay be slow, but people’s livesshould start to improve. Othertrade deals and investmentfrom American companieswill help as well. As far asbenefiting the USA, one canhope that more Americansgaining a first-hand view intothe myriad failures inherentin a Communist society, andby close extension socialism,will result in a ground swellarising to turn sharply awayfrom the socialism path downwhich Obama has steered ourcountry.

“I support this change inrelationship between our twocountries and look forward tosomeday visiting our Car-ibbean neighbor.”

M.J.F.

“It was time to re-establishrelations with Cuba. I fearhowever that it could emulatethe flow of illegal aliens thathas been going on from Mex-ico. The U.S. is not equippedto financially handle any moreof that.

“I have no desire to visitCuba. It could have been an-other Las Vegas or MiamiBeach, but for Castro’s lack ofvision. Communism has failedthere and in North Korea. GoFigure!”

T.D.T.

“Why not visit Cuba? “Perhaps we can visit one

of the prisons for politicalprisoners or better yet one ofthe ICBM bases they weregoing to use to send nuclearbombs to the US. But first let'sfind one of those ‘top notch’doctors Bruce Healey talksabout. Maybe we can get hima brain transplant, since hebelieves we should open tradeto the only country that wasreceiving Russian missiles todestroy the U.S.”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWas Reds manager Bryan Priceright about what he said aboutmedia coverage hurting histeam? What is the media’s rolein covering local sports fran-chises?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers [email protected] withCh@troom in the subject line.

Drinking too much alcoholincreases the risk of injury,violence, drowning, liver dis-ease, and some types of can-cer.

Clermont Recovery Centerencourages you to educateyourself and your loved onesabout the dangers of drinkingtoo much.

To spread the word andprevent alcohol abuse, CRC isjoining other organizationsacross the country to honorAlcohol Awareness Month. InOhio alone, there have been13,628 drunken driving crash-es with 7,959 injuries and 340deaths within the past year. Ifyou are drinking too much,you can improve your healthby cutting back or quitting.Here are some strategies tohelp you cut back or stop

drinking:» Limit

your drinkingto no morethan one drinka day forwomen or twodrinks a dayfor men.

» Keeptrack of howmuch youdrink.

» Choose a day each weekwhen you will not drink.

» Don't drink when you areupset.

» Avoid places where peo-ple drink a lot.

» Make a list of reasons notto drink.

If you are concerned aboutsomeone else's drinking, offerto help. Early identification

occurs at the first signs of aproblem - before anyone hassuffered a traumatic event,dropped out of school or lostimportant relationships, jobs,their health or self-respect.

People do not need to bot-tom out to be helped. Researchshows that early identificationof the problem is a much moreeffective solution for sub-stance use problems.

Identification can be donethrough a screening by ahealth care professional, or asubstance abuse counselor.What happens after thescreening depends on the re-sults of the test. Some peoplecan learn to cut back, whilesome need further assessmentand possibly treatment.

In general, though, all peo-ple are better equipped to

work on recovery if their sub-stance use problem is discov-ered and confronted early.Treatment in the early stagesof a substance use disorder islikely to be less intense, lessdisruptive and cause less anxi-ety. Waiting for people to askfor help is a risky strategy.Without help, family memberscan expect crises like arrests,medical emergencies,job loss,public embarrassment andeven death.

For more information onscreening tools or assessment,call Clermont Recovery Cen-ter, a division of Greater Cin-cinnati Behavioral HealthServices at 735-8100.

Greater Cincinnati Behav-ioral Health Services is themost comprehensive mentalhealth provider in Southwest

April is Alcohol Awareness month

MelissaKaetzel-ColeCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Ankle sprains are one of themost common injuries I see as aphysician of sports medicine atCincinnati Children’s.

It’s estimated 2 million anklesprains occur across the countryevery year, almost half takingplace during sport-elated activ-ity. Ankle sprains happen insports that require cutting andjumping such as basketball, soc-cer, football and volleyball.

A common misconceptionamong parents is that an anklesprain is a “mild injury that willheal on its own.” However, anklesprains can lead to chronic painand instability of the ankle if notproperly treated. The group thatis at greatest risk range in agefrom 10-19 years old.

A sprain is a stretching ortearing injury that is specific toligaments (bone to bone connec-tions in the body). Most anklesprains cause an injury to the

outside portionof the ankle.However, an in-jury to the in-side of the an-kle can indicatea far more wor-risome injury.

If you thinkyour child hasan ankle sprain,it’s always bestto have an ex-

amination by a physician whohas specialized training in evalu-ation of ankle sprains.

Some of the signs include:» inability or difficulty bear-

ing weight on the affected ankle;» significant swelling or

bruising anywhere on the ankle,leg or foot;

» pain over the inside of theankle or over the foot;

» deformity of the ankle orfoot.

If any of the above signs orsymptoms is present, it is ad-vised that your child be evaluat-ed as soon as possible. Liga-ments may not heal properly ifrest and or bracing are not per-formed. Ankle braces have pro-gressed greatly over the past 20years. Today’s ankle braces arefor easier to put on, are com-prised of more advanced ma-terials, and are more comfort-able to wear.

At Cincinnati Children’s, ourpediatric sports medicine ex-perts recognize the importanceof early evaluation of musculo-skeletal injuries. Our clinics areequipped with Xray capabilities,splints, crutches, and bracingfor all levels of ankle sprains.Same day appointments can bemade by calling 513-803-HURT.If your child’s injury is afterhours or on the weekend andyour child is unable to bear

weight or a deformity is present,an evaluation in an urgent careor emergency departmentwould be recommended.

Healing times may vary. Ifthe ankle sprain is minor, recov-ery can take place within two tothree weeks. With more severeankle sprains, the healing timecan take six to eight weeks.

It’s important to have the an-kle checked out as soon as pos-sible especially if there is anyongoing pain. At Cincinnati Chil-dren’s, the sports medicine teamis committed to having yourchild return to his or her usualactivities once the ankle ishealed and strength is restored.

Dr. Gregory Walker is an assistantprofessor in Division of Sports Medi-cine at Cincinnati Children’s and anassociate professor in Department ofPediatrics at the University of Cin-cinnati.

Rachel Menzel is asenior at Anderson HighSchool with the symp-toms of senioritis justlike nearly every othermember of the class of2015, but she has decidedto treat those symptomsa little differently.

Instead of checkingout and phoning things inthis year, Menzel decidedto leave a big impressionin her community andthe world.

Growing up, Menzelattended Woodland LakesChristian Camp in Ame-lia. The camp made suchan impression on her andher twin sister, Rebecca,that they started volun-teering there in theirfree time. Last summer,Rachel helped lead aweek of Junior HighGirls Camp. That weekshe learned about Soles 4Souls.

The organization,based out of Nashville,Tenn., as founded in 2006to fight global poverty.They collect shoes of allshapes, sizes, and levelsof use to not just preventsickness and injury thatcomes from being bare-foot, but also to help theimpoverished around theworld start their ownbusinesses. Since theirstart, Soles 4 Souls hasdistributed more than 19million shoes.

The Junior High GirlsCamp had partnered withSoles 4 Souls and col-lected shoes during theirweek. The experiencestuck with Rachel, andshe approached herchurch, Parkside Chris-tian, about having theirown shoe drive this win-ter. Starting in January,

their youth group chal-lenged their church fam-ily to donate shoes.

Everyone rallied be-hind Menzel’s passionand vision and in themidst of a snow-filledFebruary, the shoe drivewas able to get donationsfrom local businesseslike Once Upon a Child,Plato’s Closet, and theyeven received shoesfrom a local prison.Church members alsocame out in large num-bers. When the dust hadsettled they had collected1,427 pairs of shoes in all.

Menzel went with agroup of students andleaders from her youthgroup and delivered theshoes to the Soles 4 SoulsHQ in Nashville. Theywere able to get a tour ofthe facility and opera-tions and they also stuckaround to volunteer intheir warehouse. Therethey learned all the manyplaces around the worldlike Haiti or CentralAmerica where theirshoes might go next.

Graduation is almosttwo months away forMenzel, her sister, andthe rest of her class-mates, but her impactlocally and now globallywill be felt long after shereceives her diploma. Inall likelihood that impactwill only grow with timeas Menzel is enrolled atCincinnati ChristianUniversity. What doesshe hope to do with herdegree? Work in full-timeministry at a camp likeWoodland Lakes Chris-tian Camp. Hopefully,she has a good pair ofshoes that will take herthere.

THANKS TO MATT ROBINSON

The Parkside Christian Church youth group of AndersonTownship drops off shoes at Soles 4 Souls in Nashville. Theorganization was founded in 2006 and provides shoes toprevent sickness and injury that comes from being barefoot.


Menzel, a senior at Anderson High School who is enrolled atCincinnati Christian University, started a collection of shoesfor Soles 4 Souls. The organization collects shoes to help theimpoverished around the world start their own businesses.

UC Blue Ash Collegeprofessor Wendy Cala-way took an appeal in amurder trial all the way tothe Ohio Supreme Courtand won, setting a newprecedent for criminalcases across the state.

Calaway, an AndersonTownship resident who isa practicing attorney andprofessor in the Behavior-al Science Department atUC Blue Ash, appearedbefore the justices lastspring to argue that theyshould overturn JosephHarris’ murder convic-tion and award a new trial.She stated that by allow-ing the testimony of acourt-appointed clinicalpsychologist after Harrisabandoned his insanitydefense, the defendant’sconstitutional rights wereviolated. In a recent rul-ing, the justices votedunanimously to overturnthe conviction and awarda new trial.

“This is a big case fordefendants across the

state,” Calaway said. “Itmakes it clear that prose-cutors cannot call in anexpert to testify about thecredibility of a witness,when their area of exper-tise is not relevant.”

Harris was indicted inOctober 2010 for the mur-

der of Shane Gullemanduring an apparent drugdeal. The facts in the caseare a little gray since thetwo men were alone whenthe alleged crime oc-curred. Harris pled notguilty by reason of insan-ity. The state appointed aclinical psychologist toevaluate Harris and shefound him competent tostand trial.

By the time the trial be-gan in June 2011, Harriswithdrew his insanityplea, but prosecutors stillproceeded to put the psy-chologist on the stand to

testify.Calaway was not in-

volved in the originaltrial. The defense attor-ney in the case asked thepresiding judge to appointCalaway to work on theappeal. She has been tak-ing on more appellatework recently and is gain-ing a reputation as an ex-pert in the field.

“I find the appellateprocess very interestingand this type of workgives me more freedomwith my schedule since Idon’t have to be in thecourtroom as often.”

Calaway was in thecourtroom when she pre-sented her argument tothe Supreme Court andher class was able towatch through closed cir-cuit TV.

“It was a great experi-ence for me and a learningexperience for them. Wetalked about the case andappeal process in class,”said Calaway.

Calaway teaches crim-inal justice, criminologyand corrections coursesat UC Blue Ash. She usesher experience as a prac-ticing attorney to providereal-life cases for her stu-dents and to bring judges,law enforcement officers,and even federal agents tothe classroom
