It’s a wonder drug. It cutsyour risk of heart disease by30 percent. It has also beenshown to reduce the risk of

diabetes and cancer, lowerblood pressure and cholesterol,and keep you mentally sharp.And you don’t need a prescrip-tion plan to get it.

It’s physical activity.Dr. Thomas Frieden, direc-

tor of the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention, said 2.5hours of physical activity eachweek can make a big differencein overall health.

And walking turns out to bethe easiest, most accessible,and most popular way thatAmericans get physical activ-ity, Frieden said. It doesn’t haveto cost anything. You don’t haveto join a gym. Taking a walkthat’s brisk enough for you toget a little bit winded is a greatway to get physical activity.

“It’s important that peoplehave safe and accessible op-tions for walking and otherphysical activities. That meansfor example creating or im-proving access to walking pathsor trails around work sites, havework sites establish places towalk, have joint use agreementswhich is a joint use agreementbetween schools and communi-ties so that school tracks can beused in non-school hours,” he

said at a briefing in 2012. “Com-munities across the country aredoing that and that’s making abig difference. And designingcommunities so that jobs andschools and housing, stores arelocated within walking dis-tance.”

Communities in northwestHamilton County are meetingFrieden’s challenge. Here aresome options for residents whowant to get up and move towardhealth.

Mount AiryThe Cincinnati Park

District offers a numberof hiking and biking trailsin its urban park system.Within the 1,459 acres ofMount Airy Forest, thecity’s largest park, thereare about 13 miles of trailsfor hiking and trail run-ning.

In 2015, as part of a pro-posed levy for the city’spark system which failed,the park district proposeda Mount Airy multi-pur-pose trail with a $3 millionprice tag. In cooperationwith the Cincinnati Off-Road Alliance, a grouppromoting and maintain-ing mountain and off-roadbiking around the region,the city talked aboutbuilding a mountain bikeand marathon-length run-ning trail through MountAiry Forest.

Hamilton CountyAfter a year of moni-

toring trail visitation,Great Parks of HamiltonCounty has exceeded 1million visits. In May2014, the park districtlaunched a trail counterprogram, tracking trailvisitation on all 12 paved,shared-use trails and theMitchell Memorial ForestMountain Bike Trail (nat-ural) within the park sys-tem. These electroniccounters were installed tomeasure visits, which is asingle trail experience bya user in one given day.

Great Parks has a WalkClub program and a Hik-ing Staff Program.

The Walk Club is a free,flexible exercise pro-gram designed for adults

ages 50 and up featuringregularly scheduledwalks and activities fromMarch through Novem-ber. Members meet up tothree times a week at 8:30a.m. at these five parks:Farbach-Werner NaturePreserve, Fernbank Park,Miami Whitewater For-est, Sharon Woods andWinton Woods. Stick toyour favorite park or en-joy a new one each week.You choose where andhow often you want towalk. Walk Club is spon-sored by the VisitingNurse Association.

The Hiking Staff pro-gram requires that hikersto complete seven differ-ent trails in the park dis-trict in a year. They thenbecome eligible to pur-chase a wooden hikingstaff for $3. Each year fol-lowing, when hikers com-plete seven Great Parks’trails, they are eligible topurchase an annual metalemblem for their hikingstaff for $2 with a limit ofone emblem per year. Ad-ditional emblems for thefollowing parks may bepurchased for $3.95: Glen-wood Gardens, MiamiWhitewater Forest, Shaw-nee Lookout, SharonWoods, Winton Woods,Farbach-Werner NaturePreserve, Fernbank Parkand Woodland Mound.

North College HillThe North College Hill

WeTHRIVE team has im-plemented an action planthat carries out their vi-sion of North College Hillas a walkable community.The team identified threesidewalk routes that con-nect vital parts of the city,such as the elementary,middle and high schoolsand the business district.To encourage residents towalk to these placeswhere they would normal-ly drive.

The city received a$24,000 grant from theHamilton County PublicHealth Department tohelp fund the project.

The routes are mappedout. Each path begins andends at the City Center,1500 W. Galbraith Road,where a new sign shows amap of the routes. The 1-,2- and 3-mile paths aremarked with NCHMOVES! footprints, color-coded to the trail that’s be-ing walked, with bluemarking the 1-mile path,red designating the 2-milewalking trail and greenidentifying the 3-mileloop. The routes are im-proved, as the city projectinvolved more than 1,700square feet of sidewalkimprovements such astruncated domes at curbcuts to prevent slippingand to make the paths ac-cessible to people withhandicaps. In order tomake the walking trailshappen, city officials se-cured a unique shared-use agreement that allowspublic use of an existingpath in a resident’s back-yard that connects resi-dential areas to the busi-ness district.

SpringfieldTownship

Springfield Townshipdoesn’t have biking andhiking trails, but thatdoesn’t mean residentsand officials don’t wantthem. Connectivity in theform of trails and bike-ways are part of the visionfor the core area of thetownship in the Neighbor-hood Master Plan, which

is now getting a five-yearupdate. The core area isgenerally lies south ofGalbraith Road, north ofNorth Bend Road and eastof Winton Road. Part ofthe development parame-ters for the area includes“encouraging design thatpromotes non-motorizedtransportation alterna-tives like walking and bik-ing.”

Mike Gould, service di-rector for SpringfieldTownship, says connec-tivity is being built into fu-ture planning and devel-opment in the township.Township goals are to dia-gram the best and safestwalking and bike routes toparks, schools and exist-ing trails with a publica-tion, signs or pavementmarkings and to have along-term master plan inplace for new toad pro-jects that should incorpo-rate dedicated bike lanesand/or sidewalks.

Gould said the town-ship’s immediate focus ispromoting the trails andwalks that exist in thetownship, not buildingnew ones. That being said,developers who look toSpringfield Township canexpect to be consider con-nections to existing walk-ways and paths.

The Hamilton CountyPark District’s plan forwalking trails and biketrails at Winton Woodsshows future opportuni-ties within the townshipthat would not be thetownship’s responsibilityto develop or maintain.The township has walkingtrails at Frost Park, Hel-wig Park, Hillside Parkand Lexington HeightsPark. Schottlekotte Parkhas a dirt bike trail. Thetownship’s long term rec-ommendations for parkscall for a marked naturetrail at Brentwood Park,and a fitness trail at FrostPark.

Township officials col-lected input from a com-mittee reviewing thetownship’s NeighborhoodMaster Plan and will de-cide on which recommen-dations to offer the trust-ees to adopt.

The public will alsohave an opportunity toweigh in on the recom-mendations before theyare presented to the boardfor adoption.

Winton Woods MiddleSchool

» Engineers from GeneralElectric in Evendale have beenvisiting Mike DeMain’s class-room at Winton Woods MiddleSchool for three years now.

Each year they not only workwith the students on math activ-ities and projects, they also helpstudents see themselves in sci-ence and math careers like engi-neering or computer technol-ogy. This year’s visits also in-cluded a grant check for $2,900that will be used to purchase alaptop and software so studentscan see geometry in a three-di-mensional application and bet-ter understand geometric con-cepts.

Eight GE engineers, led byMishra Mathumati, came to De-Main’s class once a week fromOctober to February as part ofthe company’s Igniting Mindsprogram. The program’s mis-sion is to help improve students’grasp in math and science byproviding hands-on opportuni-ties that will increase their in-terest.

“One of the most commonquestions I get is, ‘When will Iever use this?’” DeMain said.“On a weekly basis, the engi-neers from GE showed greatreal world examples so my stu-dents could see how to apply

what they had learned.” “We were constantly learn-

ing something and learning themath behind it,” Kiara Gainessaid.

“They would help us to prob-lem solve and use our minds,”Kamille Austin said. “Theywould put engineering in reallife situations,” Matthew Ber-nardo said.

Bernardo described one ofthis year’s projects where thestudents made boats from a 6-inch-by-6-inch piece of tin foil.They then had to see how manyLegos their boat would holdwithout sinking. Bernardo saidhe went for short sides and a bigsurface area for his boat, whichheld 120 Legos – the most in theclass. He said the engineerscompared the project to figur-ing out the capacity of cargo orcruise ships.

The engineers also taughtabout the volume of 3-D objectsusing hamburger and hot dogwrappers and popcorn. Theyhelped the students make theirown version of Silly Putty and tocreate a two-dimensional paperpark to determine what shape isbest to fit in all the playgroundequipment.

“The most practical was asquare,” Bernardo said, “be-cause most of the objects aresquare or rectangular, not circu-lar.”

Gaines said she enjoyed theamount of freedom the engi-neers gave them on their pro-jects because it was like real lifeon a job.

“This increased my interestin engineering,” she said.

Bernardo added that engi-neering is now one of his toppicks as a career option. “I sawthere’s so much freedom apply-ing math to the real world andthat there are real life uses – likedesigning jets for safety – thatcan end up saving a life.”

Austin said she had com-plained in the past that mathdidn’t mean anything. “Now Ilook at math and science differ-ently,” she said, “and I realize it

can lead to something in the fu-ture. This gave math a pur-pose.”.

Winton Woods PrimarySouth

» JenniferChaney’s first-grade classroomat Winton WoodsPrimary South inSpringfieldTownship is an ac-tive learningspace that fostersindividual ac-countability and collaboration.

“There isn’t a student in Mrs.Chaney’s classroom who doesn’tknow how well they are per-forming academically and so-cially,” Principal Danielle Wal-lace said. “By design, all stu-dents are challenged to makeand meet personal achievementgoals across all content areas.Not only can they tell you theirfuture goals, students take pride

in explaining how they plan toachieve them.”

Chaney has been chosen bythe district as April’s SkylineTeacher of the Month.

“Not only is Mrs. Chaney anexcellent teacher, she alsoserves as Literacy Team Leaderfor her grade level, is an activemember of the Building Leader-ship Team and is a 2016-2017 pi-lot teacher for the New Tech ini-tiative,” Wallace said.

Chaney encourages leader-ship and community in herclassroom, giving students reg-ular opportunities to lead theirinstructional teams, resolveconflict through discussion, andearn incentives like specialtreats and having lunch withtheir teacher.

The Skyline Teacher of theMonth Award is sponsored bythe Forest Park Skyline, a busi-ness partner of Winton WoodsCity Schools. Teachers honoredreceive a $30 Skyline gift card.

MAY 4, 2016 • HILLTOP PRESS • 5ANEWS

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-

ley, basil, rosemary, sage, thymeand oregano.

Pizza garden. Try a grape orcherry tomato plant surrounded byoregano or marjoram, basil, rose-mary and thyme.

Tea garden could have mint,rosemary, stevia, chamomile, lemonverbena, thyme and sage. There areendless variations, and I have moreinformation on my website: aboutea-ting.com.

Get the details: my video on con-tainer gardening: It’s on my websiteAbouteating.com

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.

It’s May: Derby Day hot browns, Cinco de Mayo spread

An ominous howl fromthe tethered black andwhite collie punctuated themoonlit spring night.

It was just one of severalpronounced acts familymembers had noticed dur-ing the course of the week.Earlier they had observed asense of alertness tosounds, other dogs, andeven the slightest of noises.All signs pointed toward anunwanted adventure ac-

companiedby a periodof familymourning inthe not toodistant fu-ture.

After thetown’s deep-throatedshift whis-tles calledrailroademployees

to work, the family routinesensued. The dog, Skippy,was unleashed, adult mem-bers of the household de-parted for work and theirson, Colin, went to school.True to small town life ev-eryone, including familypets had free run of thecommunity with the un-derstanding that fiveo’clock was the appointedtime to return home.Watches were unnecessary,body clocks were auto-matically set.

Later, neighbors noticedtwo stray dogs walking withpurpose down the street.They were immediatelyjoined by Skippy and Win-ky, the dog who lived nextdoor. One of the strays ledthe pack while Skippy, theinstinctive herder, kept theadventurers together asthey crossed a street anddisappeared behind a hedgerow that lined a field ofweeds, wild flowers andhoneysuckle. Their un-known destination foreverremained a mystery to all.

When the magic hour offive o’clock arrived, Skippywas AWOL. At first therewere no panic alarms, butas the daylight turned tonight fall, lines of worrybecame the common facialexpression. Search partieswere formed. Whistlespierced the evening’s shad-ows. Alas, not a single dogresponded.

So what happened to a“pack of dogs” that went on

a spree? Where did they go?What were their food sourc-es? A question not beggingan answer. Were they safe?Would barks reveal theirsecret habitat of animalreverie?

Meanwhile, adults andchildren became more de-spondent with each passingday. Neighborhood rumorsraised and diminishedhopes. Just a glance at theempty dog house at nightelicited remorsefulthoughts and dark dreams.

On the third day the fam-ily’s optimistic thoughtswe’re replaced with lamen-table memories. Long facesand resigned feelings ofloss dampened the unifiedsolemn mood. Last riteswere contemplated.

As the bewitching hourof five o’clock approachedgathering storm cloudsbegan to replace the day’sbright sunlight. Tree leavesturned inward while thedistinct scent of a springrain permeated the air. Inthe distance a faint rumbleof thunder rolled across thesteel gray western sky.

Looking through a bed-room window Colin heardthe light thunder become adrum roll of sound and fury.Suddenly, he saw four dogspart the hedgerow, thenrace up the street withSkippy in the lead. Twofrightened canines rushedpast the house, while Winkypeeled from the pack tocrawl under the neighbor’sporch. Skippy leapt onto thefront stoop where he franti-cally pawed the screendoor.

The family membersopened the door where theysaw their rain soaked colliecovered with cockleburs,mud, and leaves greetingthem with yelps of joy. Toodirty to allow inside, Colinhugged his long lost friendthen steered him to thescreened back porch wherehis almost unrecognizablepet wedged himself againstthe room’s most secludedcorner.

For this shinning mo-ment all was right in theworld. Skippy had comehome!

Aiken needs newfootball uniforms

The Aiken New Tech HighSchool football program hasgrown tremendously in the lasttwo years - from 17 players in2014 to 55 in 2015 and 73 stu-dent-athletes signed up to playin 2016.

Because of our success, theissue at hand is that we grewtoo fast. We do not have enoughhelmets, uniforms or funds tokeep this many players. I refuseto turn away a player becausewe can’t purchase a helmet oruniform for him. We need your

help … and we need it fast. While the sport provides an

amazing outlet for our youngmen, it is an expensive sport.We need $550 per student to betotally in uniform, includingproviding 50 players the experi-ence to travel to MoreheadState University for a collegiatestyle practice experience. Thisbrings our total need at roughly$20,000. Our coaching staff istirelessly fundraising to pro-vide for our student-athletes …but as you can see, we needyour help.

Aiken New Tech High Schoolhas the second lowest income

level for high schools in Cincin-nati Public Schools. Footballprovides an outlet for thesestudent-athletes given the cir-cumstances that most of themlive in. In our first season, 75percent of our seniors signedwith universities to continuetheir education and play foot-ball at the next level. We aredoing great things and changinglives here at Aiken. Our youngmen deserve this opportunityand chance to better them-selves. Will you help us?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

April 27 questionWhat local bike and hike

trails do you use? How often doyou use them?

No responses.

April 20 questionShould Ohio consider and

enact laws similar to those re-cently signed into law in NorthCarolina and Mississippi regard-ing religious freedom and LGBTrights? Why or why not?

“Absolutely not! LGBTrights have to do with Amer-ican citizen rights not reli-gious rights. I consider myselfvery religious. The times the

Jesus socialized with peoplehis society considered out-casts are numerous. As reli-gious people, we are called outto welcome and love our

neighbors (Jesus didn’t put onqualifiers). As Americans, weshould not limit basic humanrights such as feeling comfort-able using a rest room. Ashuman beings, we’re learningmore and more about the ge-netic makeup of people, find-ing that biologically, there’smore a continuum of genderthan just male and female.Lastly, I don’t think it’s goodfor us as a state, seeing all thebusinesses that have pulledventures/events out, thus hurt-ing those states economically.One citizen’s ‘being’ should notaffect someone’s religiousbeliefs.”

Air quality impacts publichealth and the environment.Our air quality has improvedin the past few decades, but wemust continue to do our sharefor cleaner air.

Air Quality AwarenessWeek is May 2-May 6 andserves as a reminder that airquality affects everyone. Thisyear’s theme is “Show HowYou Care About the Air.”

You can help improve airquality by becoming moreenergy efficient, burning wise-ly and driving more conscious-

ly.Even small

changes indaily habitscan help im-prove our localair quality.Precautionseveryone cantake to carefor the airinclude:

» Taking thebus, carpooling, biking orwalking instead of driving.

» Refueling your vehicle

after 8 p.m.; do not top offwhen refueling and tighten thegas cap.

» Not idling your vehicle.» Combining trips or elim-

inating unnecessary vehicletrips.

» Keeping your vehiclemaintained with properly in-flated tires and timely oilchanges.

» Avoiding use of gasoline-powered lawn equipment onAir Quality Advisory days.

» Avoiding use of oil-basedpaints and stains on Air Qual-

ity Advisory days.» Never burning leaves or

other yard trimmings.» Always burning clean,

seasoned wood in outdoor firepits, fireplaces and woodstoves.

» Not using fire pits or fire-places for non-essential homeheating on Air Quality Ad-visory days.

» Conserving electricity.An Air Quality Advisory is

The process of buying ahome is exciting and over-whelming at the same time.There is so much to consider,from the location of the hometo whether it fits your family'sneeds and style.

What else should you searchfor that you may not have fac-tored in? With experience andexpertise in home renovationand modifications, our expertsat Whole Home Modificationsare committed to helping Tris-tate homeowners maintainbeautiful, safe and comfort-able homes. Here are a fewinsights for prospective buy-ers to consider when searchingfor their potential home.

At Whole Home, our expertssuggest looking for homes withno-step entries. There are anumber of benefits to finding ahome with stepless entries.Day-to-day activities such asbringing in groceries, furni-ture or strollers are easierwhen you can avoid maneu-vering a staircase of any kind.These easily accessible entry-ways also help family mem-bers and friends who strugglewith stairs feel more welcomeand comfortable in your home.

Another item to consider is

finding a homewith a first-floor bath-room, whichcan be muchmore impor-tant than youmight think.You spend themajority ofyour time onthe first floor,so it's more

convenient to have a bathroomon that level, but there are alsopractical concerns to consider.Going up and down stairs toaccess the bathroom could bedifficult for expecting moth-ers, small children or elderlyfamily members and friends.

For similar reasons, it isimportant to look for a homewith a first floor laundry room,or space to convert into one.This also eliminates the poten-tial hazards of walking up anddown stairs with baskets full ofclothes, especially if the stairsbecome cluttered with shoesand toys.

MT. HEALTHY - MountHealthy’s boys track andfield team has enjoyed astrong start to the season. Amonth into it, several Owlshold the top spot in the South-west Ohio Conference pro-ceedings.

However, as any athletewill say, it’s not so muchabout the start as it is aboutthe finish. A couple MountHealthy athletes have biggoals this season, including aberth to Columbus.

“That’s the main goal,”Jordan Dailey said. “Wewere short of qualifying lastyear. That definitely left abad taste in our mouth.”

To reach that goal, theOwls will need some betterfortune. Two of their moreprominent contributorshaven’t raced in a meet inquite some time.

Ja’Vonte Williams andTrayvon Wilburn got hurtduring the second meet ofthe year at Georgetown andin practice, respectively.

“We got it put on us at ameet up in Dayton becausewe didn’t have them run-ning,” coach Ken Meiberssaid. “Having them sidelinedsends a ripple effect throughthe rest of the team becausewe have to take guys out ofother spots to fill the roles.When that happens, we are

going to struggle.”When healthy, Williams

was one of the top 400-meterrunners in the city. Wilburn’sinjury, which Meibersthought wasn’t as bad as Wil-liams’, is keeping him fromrunning the 100- and 200-me-ter dashes.

As of April 27, Wilburnhad the best time in the cityin the 100 at 10.70 seconds. Inthe 200, he’s in the top-four.

The coach is hoping theywill return to the team and beready to run by May 10, thestart date of the SWOCchampionship meet.

On paper, Mount Healthyshould win that meet goingaway. A quick glance at theconference’s top times re-veals the Owls boast thedeepest team in the confer-ence.

If Owls aren’t holding thetop spot, and they often are,numerous Owls are near thetop of the standings.

That said, the coach stillsees major competition fromrival Northwest as well asHarrison. The athletes knowthey can’t just show up andwin, too.

Dailey, Wilburn and Wil-liams all agreed they need tohold teammates accountableand run through the finishline, not just stop at it.

They feel that if they dothat, it will propel them towhere they want to go.

“We ready,” Dailey said.

Winton Woods High Schoolwas not known as a local tennispowerhouse five years ago.But, the Warriors produced atrio of college teammates atUniversity of the Cumberlandsin Williamsburg, Kentucky.

Seniors Chanel Williams andSydni Grimes starred this sea-son for the Patriots. FreshmanElisa Taylor followed their pathto University of the Cumber-lands. They represented theCincinnati trio on a diverseteam that includes playersfrom Spain, New Zealand, andColombia.

“There are a lot of greatcoaches producing a lot of greatplayers in the Greater Cincin-nati area,” said head coach ChinTan. “I’m always so glad to haveplayers from Cincinnati.”

The season ended on April 24with a loss in the second roundof the Mid-South Conferencetournament. The Patriots fin-ished the season 10-10. Grimesand Williams continued to de-velop as tennis players in col-lege. In high school, they had nodoubles experience. They

teamed up as a tandem andfound success this year.

“Playing doubles helped mysingles game. I can take chargeat the net with more confi-dence,” said Williams. “I thinkI’ve grown a lot.”

As a freshman, Williams re-lied on her strength and athlet-icism, which were often over-powering in high school. Shewas a two-time Fort AncientValley Conference Player of theYear.

“In high school, she could getsome easy points,” said Tan.“Her first match was a great in-troduction to college tennis. All

these girls can keep the ball inplay.”

She quickly learned the ex-tra effort that it would take toreplicate that level of success incollege. She embraced the chal-lenge and had her best season asa senior.

“Practice is longer, very se-rious, and very goal-orientat-ed,” said Williams. “It reallytested my ability to improve.”

The practice paid off. BothGrimes and Williams earnedsecond team All-Conferencehonors this season. More impor-

NORTH COLLEGEHILL - Jim Herman’sprofessional golf careerhas taken him all overthe world, and April 24 atClovernook CountryClub, where he’s a mem-ber, he returned to its in-ception, and again re-minded his hometown hehasn’t forgotten wherehe came from.

Herman, 38, a gradu-ate of St. Xavier HighSchool and the Univer-sity of Cincinnati, was intown to help Clovernookcelebrate its openingweekend, three weeksafter he won his first ca-reer PGA Tour event atthe Shell Houston Open.

Two weeks ago Her-man was playing at Au-gusta National Golf Clubin the Masters.

On a flawless Sundayafternoon, Herman,joined by UC’s men’s andwomen’s golf teams, an-swered questions andspoke for nearly 45 min-utes — to a crowd whichhorseshoed around him— about his personaljourney running down adream.

He began with a re-minder that he was cutfrom the freshman golfteam at St. X, but eventu-ally wound up a part ofthe Bombers’ statechampionship team in1995.

It was at UC whereHerman, who now livesin Florida with his wifeand two kids, started to

think about golf as a ca-reer.

“I had four wonderfulyears (at UC). I learnedso much and my gameimproved so much,” saidHerman. “It gave me theconfidence that I couldjust possibly think aboutturning pro.

“Whatever profes-sion you’re in, you don’tjust walk in and accom-plish all your goals in thefirst couple years on thejob. Most of us, we’ve gotto learn how to travel,learn how to practice,(and) you need help.”

He learned, amongother things, how to askfor help and it made allthe difference.

“If you don’t stickwith it and seek help oryou give up, obviously

we would have nevergotten here,” Hermansaid. “There were a lot oftimes my PGA Tourdream could have ended.Seven straight years go-ing to (Qualifying)School and I couldn’t getthrough the secondstage of Q School. (Itwould have been) veryeasy to say ‘I’m not goingto be on tour.’ There wasno reason for that. Iknew I was goodenough.”

He worked in a golfshop for three years, andkept working.

His final message tothe members and Bear-cats who were hangingon his every word was,“You always have achance if you never giveup.”

MONFORT HEIGHTS- With the majority of itsseason in the books, LaSalle has established it-self as one of the elite Di-vision I baseball teams inthe area this spring.

According to coach JoeVoegele, the storyline forthe Lancers after almost20 games is a simple one:“We’re not done yet. Wejust have to play every-day, that’s the only way wecan do well. We can’t lookahead.”

That philosophy hashelped La Salle, rankedNo. 4 in The Enquirer areacoaches’ poll, navigate anunrelenting schedulewith a 15-4 record.

Before the season be-gan, Voegele said hethought his team wouldhave great senior leader-ship and pitching depth.He was right.

If there were questionsabout this La Salle team,they came in the form offiguring out who would beon the mound in majorgames, and replacing theloss of the middle of itslineup from last season.The Lancers have an-swered those questions.

“I think both of those(senior leadership and

pitching depth) have beenkey,” Voegele said. “Ithink with the pitching weweren’t quite sure whothe No. 1, or two or topthree for that matter,would be and we foundthat out.”

Senior Jacob Kaiser, aCharleston commit, hasanchored the top of the ro-tation with a 5-0 record,1.58 ERA and a pair ofwins over Moeller.

Voegele said of Kaiser,“He’s stepped up to bethat No. 1 guy.”

Junior Micah Allen,who’s also hitting .340with 15 RBI, has occupiedthe No. 2 spot and seniorJake Barford at No. 3.Voegele’s been impressedwith all three, saying,“They’re definitely thethree guys we go to first.”

Quintin Baldwin, JakeHughes and Dana Reeveshave all thrown doubledigit innings this year.

“I mentioned the pitch-ing has been solid; the hit-ting has been as well,”said Voegele. “The RBIguys have been spreadout; we’re hitting through-out the lineup.

“Really the main thingwe were concerned aboutwere the three, four andfive (hitters graduating).(Anthony) Bell and (Ni-gel) Williams were 1-2 in

the GCL in RBIs. Thisyear we have seven guyswith 10 or more RBIs …that really makes a differ-ence.”

Top-to-bottom, LaSalle’s lineup has provenit can hit.

Senior Tim Casey,who’s signed with Ash-land, leads the GreaterCatholic League Southwith a .500 average to gowith 15 RBIs. Junior Bra-dy Reynolds (.411, 11RBI),senior Kevin Browne(.400, 17 RBIs), senior An-drew Sexton (.355, 14RBIs), junior Tyler Ward-well (.345), sophomoreGriffin Merritt (.327, 14RBIs) and senior JonHambrick (10 RBIs) haveall produced.

“The other key is reallyour defense,” Voegelesaid. “We play pretty gooddefense. If you catch theball and you have goodpitching you have achance to win everygame.”

As of April 29, theLancers held a one-gamelead in the GCL South withtwo league games remain-ing against Elder, on theroad May 2 and at homeMay 4.

La Salle’s last confer-ence championship was1994, according to Voe-gele.

tantly, they created a pathfor Taylor and others tofollow. The Warriors pro-gram continued to risewhile Grimes and Wil-liams were honing theirskills at Cumberlands.Taylor’s senior seasonwas the program’s best in

Warriors history. Seeingsuccess at the next levelgave those who played af-ter Grimes and Williamssomething else to aspiretowards.

“It feels good to put the[Winton Woods] tennisprogram on the map,” saidWilliams. “A lot of kidsdidn’t even think that(playing college tennis)was a possibility.”

The seniors went out

on a high note. In additionto earning all-conferencehonors, both Williams andGrimes earned their firstand only conference play-er of the week awards ear-lier this season.

“Without Chanel andSydni these last fouryears, things would bevery different,” said Tan.“We are so grateful thatthey are part of our pro-gram.”

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.

Village of Lockland, OhioWhat’s On Tap?

2015 Water Quality Consumers’ Confidence Report

Last year your Lockland tap water met all US EPA and State EPA drinking water health standards!

This pamphlet, What’s On Tap? gives all the details.

Lockland Water Source

The source of Lockland’s drinking water is three wells, about 200 feet deep, each having the capacity to pump 700 to 900 gallons per minute: that’s more than 1,000,000 gallons per day. The wells are located three miles north of Lockland in Sharonville, Ohio. This source has provided a dependable water supply since the early 1940s

The wells are susceptible to contamination due to the sensitive nature of the sand and gravel aquifer in which the water wells are located and the existing potential contaminant sources (e.g., commercial and man-ufacturing establishments). The wells’ depth, however, of about 200 feet, provides some natural protection against the downward migration of contamination.

Since 1999, in order to minimize any future potential contamination to the well field, Lockland has been active in implementing EPA recom-mended strategies, including:• Wellhead Protection Delineation in 1999• Wellhead Protection Inventory of Potential Pollution Sources in 2001• Resurvey of Potential Sources in 2002, 2003, 2007, and 2008• In the Spring of 2015 another Resurvey of Potential Sources was initiated• Implemented Wellhead Management Plan in 2003

Ohio EPA awarded Lockland a certificate commending the Village for our Wellhead Protection Program.

The Lockland Water Works also has a back-up & emergency connection with the Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW). During 2015 we used zero gallons from this connection. In the past, on average, this connection is used for approximately 0-7 days each year. This report does not contain information on the water quality received from GCWW, but a copy of their consumer confidence report can be obtained by contacting them at (513)624-5600 or email info@gcww.cincinnati-oh.gov or visiting their website http://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/water/.

Water Treatment Process

The well water is pumped from the well field to the Lockland water treatment plant for the following processes:§ Reduce the Well Water Hardness. The well water hardness, averaging 385 mg/l (parts per million), is reduced to an average of 180 mg/l by adding lime (calcium hydroxide) to

precipitate the harness as calcium carbonate.§ Stabilization. Corrosion and lime scale deposits in the water distribution system and residential plumbing are minimized by adjusting the water pH with carbon dioxide and adding 1

mg/l sodium hexameta phosphate (Calgon).§ Treatment. Is achieved by the addition of chlorine to the water. The average chlorine residual in the distribution system was 0.8376 mg/l; the maximum was 1.80 mg/l. The EPA

maximum allowable residual is 4.0 mg/l.§ Filtration. Is achieved by running the water through two sand and gravel gravity filters before distribution to Lockland customers.

Routine Water Quality AnalysisAverage 2014 Daily Treated Water Quality Analyses:Hardness, average per day 190 mg/lAlkalinity, average per day 80 mg/lChlorine (free), average per day 1.2794 mg/lChlorine, maximum 3.8 mg/lEPA Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): 4.1 mg/l

Distribution System

Bacteriological coliforms are bacteria that are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other potentially harmful bacteria may be present. Lockland is required to take 4 samples per month. In 2015, Lockland had one sample test positive on Friday, December 11, 2015. Samples were re-taken on Monday, December 14, 2015 with all results showing negative for bacteria. Ohio EPA requires a re-testing of all positive test locations within 24 hours of a positive result. The LWW regrets that it did not meet this requirement. The LWW has taken steps to prevent the delay in re-testing in the future.

Possible Drinking Water ContaminantsThe sources of drinking water (both tap & bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or human activity. Contaminants that my be present in source water include: (A) Microbial contaminants, such as viruses & bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations & wildlife; (B) Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil & gas production, mining, or farming; (C) Pesticides & herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, & residential uses; (D) Organic chemical contaminants, incl. synthetic & volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, & can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, & septic systems; (E) Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil & gas production & mining activities.In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, USEPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants & potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Federal Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791) or at http://water.epa.gov/drink/contaminants/.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised person, such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk of infection. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. The EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the US EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791) and http://water.epa.gov/drink/contaminants/

Based upon past monitoring data, lead in Lockland’s drinking water is not a concern. The most recent test results, for a set of 20 samples each collected on June 24 and 25 as well as July 1, 2014. And then one was also done on May 15, 2015. All were taken at individual residences, and all results were less than the detectable level.

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with water service lines and home plumbing.

Lockland’s public drinking water system is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in home plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by running your tap for 30 seconds to two minutes before using water for drinking or cooking.

If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline 1.800.426.4791 or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
