Indian Hill students havebeen provided with an oppor-tunity to showcase their artis-tic side.

Around 200 students fromthe Indian Hill Exempted Vil-lage School District have theirwork on display at The Festivalin the Woods exhibit runningthrough Saturday, March 14, atthe Blue Ash Recreation Cen-ter, 4433 Cooper Road.

“The idea behind the show isthat students (of) all age levelscan share their work with theirfamily and community,” saidLaura Monahan, an art teacherat Indian Hill Middle School.“For younger kids at the pri-mary and elementary(schools), their aren’t a lot ofopportunities to highlight theirartistic achievements.”

Monahan said this exhibit isa way for students to sharetheir work outside of the class-room.

Around 85 students from In-dian Hill Middle School areparticipating in the show,which features submissionsfrom a number of other schooldistricts in the area.

Monahan said teachersfrom Indian Hill Middle Schoolselected student samples thatdemonstrated “growth andmerit.”

Indian Hill Middle Schoolart teacher Kelly Blom saidthis particular exhibit also hasthe added attraction of being ata different venue.

Previous Festival in theWoods exhibits have been atRaymond Walters College,which is now called UC BlueAsh College.

The entire lobby and multi-ple hallways are adorned withworks ranging from paintings

and drawings to sculpturesand fiber arts, said Blom.

“It’s a good opportunity forthe students to have their workfeatured,” said eighth-graderKaitlyn Gokey, of Kenwood.Gokey painted an image of awaterfall.

Eighth-grader Jordan Loco-co, of Kenwood, agreed. Loco-co created a scratchboard im-age of a polar bear that is beingfeatured in the exhibit.

Asked what the biggest mis-conceptions about Quakers are,Donne Hayden, a CincinnatiFriends Meeting minister and“public friend,” ticks off three:

“One, that we no longer exist;two, that we are like the Amishand three, that we have any-thing to do with the smiling fel-low on oatmeal boxes,” saidHayden, whose church or“meeting” at 8075 Keller Roadin Indian Hill is inviting the pub-lic to help it kick off its year-long bicentennial celebrationSunday, March 15.

Quaker author Philip Gulleywill speak at 3 p.m. and Quakersinger-songwriter Carrie New-comer will perform at 4:30 p.m.at “A Gathering of Friends” tobe held at Armstrong ChapelUnited Methodist Church, 5125Drake Road in Indian Hill.

Hayden, who lives in MountLookout, has a sense of humor.But she says she and her friendsat Cincinnati Friends Meetingtake their beliefs very seriously

– so seriously that their beliefsmust manifest as actions.

“The main tenet of the Reli-gious Society of Friends – aka‘Quakers’ - is that each individ-ual has direct access to God, bywhatever name,” Hayden said.

“Every individual has ‘that ofGod’ within. We call this by vari-ous names: ‘The Inner Light,’‘the Inner Teacher,’ ‘the InnerChrist,’ ‘the Inner Guide,’ the‘Holy Spirit,’ or sometimes, de-pending on the Friend, simply‘God.’

“Believing this, we are re-quired to treat everyone re-gardless of race, gender, belief,creed or age as though theyhave something holy withinthem,” Hayden said.

“This leads to a way of life,not only belief.”

In 1811, Quakers in Cincin-nati began gathering in homes,becoming a full-fledgedFriends Meeting in1815.

The group first moved into abuilding in an area south ofFifth Street and west of what is

appeal Feb. 26.The mine opposition

group is expected to file aresponse brief by lateMarch.

Opposition attorneyTim Mara said that he wassurprised the township is-sued a statement regard-ing the appeal.

“Actually, I think thejudge made it clear thatthe BZA was in violationof township zoning,” hesaid. “The decision wasbeyond their authority.” Ifanything, the township

should not be appealingthis case since it claims to

be defending townshipzoning, Mara said.

Spring seems to be onhold once more as MotherNature delivers yet anoth-er mixed bag of winterweather.

One area where the de-lay seems most obvious isin the lawn and garden in-dustry.

“This is one of the worstI’ve seen in a while,” saidChris McKeown of Den-ny’s Bloomin Garden Cen-tre & Landscape on Ken-wood Road in SycamoreTownship.

Spring seems to be onhold.

“We’re about threeweeks behind where wewould normally be,” hesaid.

Typically people wouldalready be shopping fortheir lawn and landscapingneeds, and landscaperswould be busy with jobs,McKeown said. Not thisyear. Instead of a nicesteady, manageable paceof customers or landscap-ing work, all is quiet. Whenspring does arrive, the cus-tomers are going to comeflooding in all at one time.

As a result, they will likelyexperience long lines. Pa-tience will be needed oneveryone’s part, he said.

Once people do get outin their yards, they mightneed to inspect their treesand plants. This winter’sextended period of ex-treme cold might have hada negative impact on arealandscapes, McKeowncautioned.

McKeown said hetracks the weather annual-ly. In 2014, the tough win-ter weather was in Janu-

ary. By the end of Febru-ary temperatures werecreeping up to the 50s. “Wewere off and running,” hesaid.

Park prepAnderson Township

Park District ExecutiveDirector Ken Kushneragreed that spring is off toa slow start. Just a fewyears ago, he said, thegrass needed to be mowedby March 15. That’s notlikely going to be the situa-tion this year.

Even with snow, sportscontinue to be played atthe park district’s River-side Park on Round Bot-tom Road where all-weather fields were in-stalled in the fall of 2010.The area features two foot-ball fields, two full- sizedsoccer fields or four small-er soccer fields.

As for prepping the oth-er parks for baseball andsoccer, the park districttakes a wait-and-see ap-proach, he said. “Welearned a long time ago,Mother Nature rules. Wejust move forward withwhatever happens,”Kushner said.

A generous $1 milliongrant is helping Syca-more Township to installa fiber optic connection toall of its traffic lights andparks within the town-ship.

The federal govern-ment grant, administeredthrough the Ohio Depart-ment of Transportation, isan 80 percent matchinggrant, with the townshipproviding 20 percent(about $250,000) of the to-tal $1.25 million projectcost. The Sycamore

Board of Trustees ap-proved TEC EngineeringInc. for the project.

The fiber optic instal-lation will provide sever-al benefits to the town-ship. It will allow for im-proved traffic manage-ment, improvedcommunications withintownship owned build-ings/properties, and pro-vide for improved parksurveillance, Administra-tor Greg Bickford said.

The first step in trafficcontrol was initiated in2014 with the installationof five traffic cameras.The cameras provide thetownship with “real-time” monitoring of thetraffic flow in the Ken-wood area, he said. Withthe cameras being con-nected to fiber optics, thereliability and videospeed are greatly im-proved.

Another benefit of the

fiber optic is that it willextend the township’sown network by provid-ing an interconnectionbetween all townshipmaintained buildings,township parks and parkbuildings. This will im-prove communicationsfor township staff, Bick-ford said.

The township parksare under surveillancevia cameras and DVR. Ifthe equipment breaks,however, the recordingstops. Since the feed isn’tlive, it might take severaldays before an equipmentmalfunction is noticed.The fiber optic will pro-vide a continuous feedthat is also recorded.Equipment failures caneasily be identified andaddressed. Additionally,Wi-Fi will be available tothe public in the parksonce the fiber optics pro-ject is complete.

The first sign that spring is almosthere appears in our woods. Dottedthroughout are wild yellow aconite and

bell shaped snowdropflowers. This year I spiedthe yellow aconite peakingthrough the snow. Thesnowdrops? They wereinvisible.

Another sign thatspring is approaching isSt. Patrick’s Day. I

I love the legend thataccompanies the greatsaint. In the 5th centuryAD, St. Patrick went to

Ireland, killed the snakes and convertedthe people. What were they eating? Veg-gies like leeks and cabbage, both ofwhich are green! Think about it. Thefood pyramid is bottom heavy withgreen leafy veggies and good root vege-tables like potatoes, so the Irish werehealthy eaters way back when.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen:Go fish! Stay positive: Don’t overlook

omega-3s in “fatty” fish like salmon andmackerel. These fish are good for thebrain.

Tuck into corned beef like Irish Tender corned beef and cabbage

Corned beef uses a traditional brisket cut of beef that isbrined with vinegar and pickling spices. The term “corned”comes from the salt used to cure and prepare the beef. Thebrisket is a cut of beef that can be very tough so it benefitsfrom long, slow cooking. By using your slow cooker the beefwill become very tender.

So, why does corned beef look pink even after it’scooked? It’s the curing process - the curing salt used is called“pink salt”. When you buy a brisket that’s already “corned,” itwill have been put through the marinating process with apacket of spices included. Serve with a side of champ. Thatrecipe is on my website abouteating.com.

5 carrots cut in large pieces1 large onion, cut in large wedges2-3 bay leaves1 nice head cabbage, cored and cut into large pieces1 package corned beef brisket with spice & herb packet

included2-1/2 cups apple juice and 1/2 cup waterHorseradish for garnish

Spray inside of slow cooker. Lay vegetables on bottom.Place brisket on top. Pour liquid over all, along with spicesfrom packet. If you want, put spices in a tea ball or tie incheesecloth or a coffee filter. That way, you won’t be pickingwhole spices out of your teeth. If you make a spice packet, it inthe cooker. Cook on low 6-8 hours or high 3-4, until meat isfork tender and can be sliced easily. Remove bay leaves beforeserving. Serve with a dollop of horseradish.

St. Pat’s green two-tiered Jello ice creamsquares

I pulled this out of my St. Patrick’s day file and it’s one ofthose Kraft recipes that keeps its appeal year after year. Let thekids help. I put this in a 9x13 pan and just cut it into squares.You can cut into shamrocks or other fun shapes.

2 pkgs. 3 oz each, lime jello1 envelope unflavored gelatin - I used Knox4 cups boiling water3-4 cups vanilla ice cream

Mix jello, gelatin and boiling water together until jelloand gelatin are dissolved. Immediately stir in ice cream and stiruntil dissolved. Pour into pan and let sit overnight in frig tojell. As it jells, the ice cream floats to the top, making it two-tiered.

Think of other themed holidays to make this with differ-ent flavors of jello, ice cream, etc.

ITNGreaterCincinnati notonly offers affordable trans-portation to seniors and adultswith vision impairments, itcan also cut transportationcosts in half for seniors.

According to AAA’s annual“Your Driving Costs” study,the 2014 average cost of auto-mobile ownership is $8,876per year, based on an average15,000 miles driven annually.The average adult betweenthe ages of 55 and 64 years olddrives approximately 12,000miles per year, and those 65years old and over drive lessthan 8,000 miles per year.

ITNGC can help olderadults slash their transporta-tion budget by more than half.ITNGC’s most frequent ridersaverage 275 trips per year andare paying less than half of theaverage cost of owning a pri-vate automobile. Looking atthese costs another way, theaverage cost of a ride withITNGC is $13. At that rate$8,876 would get you over 680rides or 340 round trips peryear.

The mission of ITNGC is to

provide seniors (60 and older)and visually impaired adultswith a 24/7 transportation re-source that is “arm-through-arm, door-through-door, gowhere you want to go whenyou want to go.” ITNGCbreaks down the isolation thatcomes when seniors surren-der their keys, and gives visu-ally impaired adults freedomto go beyond bus routes.

Volunteer drivers providethe rides for ITNGC makingthis service community sup-ported and sustainable. Allvolunteers are trained andbackground checked.

ITNGC has been operatingin the Greater Cincinnati areasince May 2010 and wasbrought to the area by the Vi-sion Coalition of Greater Cin-cinnati and the Deaconess As-sociations Foundation. Theyformed ITNGreaterCincinna-ti, a local affiliate of the na-tional ITN organization.

“There was a show titled‘Watch Mr Wizard.’ It showedthe science behind ordinarythings in life. It was intendedfor grade school age kids.

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONA bill to allow cities to createopen-container districts muchlike those in New Orleans orMemphis, Tennessee, appearslikely to pass the Ohio Legisla-ture this year, and Cincinnatiofficials hope the bill becomeslaw by Opening Day, April 6. Isthis a good idea or a bad idea?Why or why not?

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

This is a very personal exer-cise.

The idea is to evaluate our-selves before we criticize oth-ers. It is an exercise I usedwhen teaching ethics.

Before we begin, let meexplain that I was a somewhatdifferent type of teacher. I did

not lecture onmy thoughtsand ideas, butrather causedstudents tothink and toexercise theirminds. Mid-term and finalexams werecontained inthe syllabus sothat the stu-dents had timeto think about

the problems expressed and toquestion me and other studentsabout their ideas.

We had some very livelydiscussions. One rule was thatany questionable topic was tobe discussed in the third per-son.

We are in a period of veryquestionable ethics. There arethings we can change andthings that, hopefully, time willimprove. There is no doubtthat the world is in a very dan-gerous situation that affects allof us. I don’t mean to be overlyfearful, but many situationsseem to repeat this historybefore great wars or nationalcalamities.

History also indicates thatproper actions could avoidthese disasters. It could be thatour personal values couldmake a difference. If that is so,it would be important for themajority of people to examinetheir personal values and ad-just to the necessities of abetter existence.

Perhaps our biggest prob-lem is the wide disagreementbetween political parties. This

is fed to a large extent by ourstubborn political values. Poli-ticians have always protectedthe political donors who be-came enablers and were pro-tected by the recipients oftheir money. The customarydevaluation of money has beena factor leading to many differ-ent miseries like genocide,war, and dictatorships. If poli-ticians can be “bought” whatabout the general public?

Let’s look into the mirror.Can we be bought? Well, we allhave a price whether we wantto admit it or not. Consider thatone of your family has beenkidnapped and you can savehim by committing a murder.Would you do it? No answer isrequired. Some people havefaced this issue.

Simpler issues are moneyissues. We all face times whenwe are jealous of someone whohas much more than us. Justthink about what you might doto acquire more money so thatyou could socialize in thatcrowd. Would it be worth it?What might be enough moneyto make you happy regardlessof how you got it? The goodnews is most of us have hadthese thoughts, but were ofenough good character to re-tain our morality.

That is why we do this exer-cise. It makes us aware thatothers may not have the valueswe cherish and to be watchfulof those who may fail our mo-rality test. There is great satis-faction in our self imposedmorality.

“I hope I shall possess firm-ness and virtue enough tomaintain what I consider themost enviable of all titles, thecharacter of an honest man.” Avalid quote from George Wash-ington.

Edward Levy is a resident of Montgo-mery.

It is time to examineour personal values

Edward LevyCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

To rent or to own has al-ways been a question for new-ly minted pilots. Renting maybe less expensive; however,you are not always able torent the plane you want on theday you want it. If you own aplane you can have it anytimeyou want; however, you haveall the costs of ownership.

Another argument forownership is that you knowwho flew the plane, its main-tenance record and accidenthistory.

It was unforgettable, theevening my wife, a bankbranch manager, came homefrom work and announcedthat the manager at an ad-jacent saving and loan hadcalled her and asked, “didn’tyou tell me your husband wasa pilot”? “Yes”, she replied,“Well, we have two planes thatwe have repossessed, and wewould like to get rid of themas quickly as possible. We willmake him a very good deal oneither one.” “I’ll ask him if heis interested,” she replied.

It seems a local business-man had gone bankrupt. Hiscompany owned two planes;one was a twin-engined Cess-

na 337 Sky-master, theother was aCessna 177Cardinal, likethe photoabove.

Marythought itwould be fun.I thought itwas too ex-pensive. TheS&L manager

made us a deal that was hardto refuse … $8,000 for analmost new plane, and theywould throw in special lowinterest financing. “Youshould get it,” she suggested.

The S&L had tried to sellboth planes for some months.The Skymaster was a hightime plane that had a lot ofmaintenance due. The 1968Cardinal had only 300 hourson the tachometer, but it wasdesigned with “laminar flow”wings, like the big jets, and itwas not a plane for beginnersto fly. It liked long paved run-ways on hot days. She was acity girl. This made it harderfor them to sell.

The Cardinal was a four-

seater, just right for our fam-ily. It was solid as a rock as welifted off the runway on theferry flight from ClevelandHopkins to Cuyahoga CountyAirport. We would now haveto obtain an annual inspectionso that we could renew theplane’s license.

We did crazy things, like aday trip to Chicago’s MeigsField for a deep-dish pizzalunch, followed by the Sundayarchitectural boat tour up theChicago River, then the flighthome. We also visited rela-tives and made trips otherplaces, like Florida. We out-grew the Cardinal as the chil-dren aged; and, we made thedecision to sell it and rentlarger aircraft.

A few years after the sale,I was shocked to learn thatthe new owner had totaled myold plane. Google the tail num-bers “N3380T,” the updatednarrative indicates that twoguys were doing touch andgoes and totaled the plane. Anearlier narrative indicatesthat they flew it into the trees.

James Baker is a 38-year residentof Indian Hill.

A panel discussion featuringregional business leaders dis-cussed the need to developlocal talent – young adults who

have skills thatare needed intheir communi-ty. They saidthat thoseyoung adultsare the key tothe continuedeconomic suc-cess of ourregion.

The bestway to developthat talent has

been discussed and debated innews articles, political speech-es and forums. Are four-year oradvanced college degrees ap-propriate? When are industrytraining programs, communitycolleges, adult educationcourses, and hands-on trainingthe right choice for youngadults?

The truth is that we need avariety of paths, and our youthneed to have options. Ohio'sefforts to introduce careereducation into lower grades is astep in that direction.

For many students, keeping

options open means attending acareer-technical school. Theyknow that becoming ready for acareer and college by the timethey graduate offers multiplepaths.

About half of Great Oaksgraduates, for instance, godirectly to college – many ofthem with credits they'veearned in high school.

Others use their career cer-tification to get ahead; a cosme-tology student may use thelicense she earned to save mon-ey for further schooling. Or,numerous graduates from pre-engineering, manufacturingand robotics programs are nowworking for employers whowill pay for their college.

Apprenticeships in electric-ity, HVAC and other skilledtrades allow graduates to earntheir continued education.

Some students even gradu-ate from high school knowingthat the field they thought theyloved isn't for them – a mucheasier decision at 18 than afterseveral years of college.

tional Football Foundation’s“That’s My Boy” award ban-quet March 3 senior Ryan Da-vis was “playing football in theland of giants,” something hesaid required more couragethan he’d ever possess.

Davis, recipient of the TomPotter Memorial Award ofCourage that night, is doingmore than playing a sport thatvalues size and strength. He isliving in a world made for peo-ple taller in stature.

The Milford resident wasborn with achondroplasia, aform of short-limbed dwar-fism. Around noon the day af-ter Ryan was born, the pedia-trician came into the room andtold his parents of Ryan’s diag-nosis.

“Like any parent, you worryabout what that means for yourchild,” Ryan’s mother, Jenny,said. “But, the pediatrician putus in touch with a nurse whosechild is dealing with achondro-plasia. Being able to talk withher mom-to-mom really put alot of the fears to rest knowingthat it was going to be possiblefor him to live a normal life.”

The road to a normal lifewasn’t going to be without ad-aptations or difficulty. A by-product of Ryan’s conditionwas the bowing of his legs. Tocorrect that, they had to be sur-gically broken and cast.

Davis said, although it’svague, he remembers havingto crawl and drag his legs ev-erywhere as well as the shoot-ing, needle-like pains in his an-kles. It was seven weeks be-

fore the casts could come offand another three before hecould walk normally again.

Once the 10-week ordealhad passed, Ryan could getback to doing what kids his agewere doing - riding a bike or, ofcourse, playing football.

“I do admit that it is tough,but it can easily be surpassedthrough the help of friends andthe school helping me reachthings,” Ryan said of goingthrough his day-to-day life. “Inhindsight though, my life real-ly isn’t that much differentthan a normal-sized person’s.”

Every step of the way CCDcoaches gave him the chancethe play the sport he wanted toplay, an opportunity he tookvery seriously. According toDunn, Ryan never missed asummer offseason workout,practice or game.

He was a four-year varsityletter winner and played ineight of the team’s 10 regularseason games this year. Heeven provided his teammates

with a rousing halftime speechto give them the boost theyneeded to beat arch-rival Sum-mit Country Day.

Following the 24-14 victory,his teammates carried him offthe field while he held the tro-phy.

When asked why he chosefootball, Ryan answered sim-ply.

“I saw football as the onlysport where I could use my dis-advantages as an advantage,”he said. “On defense, I can real-ly get low, get into the guy’slegs and drive him back. It’salso tough for guys to easilyget a grip on me.”

Ryan graciously thankedhis parents, coaches, team-mates and anyone else whohelped him along the way in hisacceptance speech. He said theaward validates everything hehas gone through to this point.He said he feels good knowinghe can serve as an inspiration

HYDE PARK — Despite ninenew players on varsity, the Indi-an Hill High School girls bas-ketball team won two games inthe Division II sectional tourna-ment and finished with an over-all winning record of 14-11.

In the Division II sectional fi-nal at Withrow March 2, IndianHill had a nip-and-tuck gamewith McNicholas. It was a one-point contest at halftime witheach team holding a lead at vari-ous times. The Lady Rocketsiced it away with a pair of freethrows with three seconds leftto win 43-39.

Junior Samantha Aringtonand sophomore Ellie Schaubkept the Lady Braves in conten-tion with some timely shots, butMcNicholas had several keysteals late in the game. Aringtonfinished with 19 to lead the LadyBraves and Schaub added 13.

“We took the lead and Ithought we had the momen-tum,” Arington said. “McNickwas just consistent with theirpressure and probably hadmore length than I anticipatedon the perimeter. It was well-played game by both teams andI couldn’t be prouder of how ourgirls fought and competed.”

Playing with no true postplayers in their starting lineup,Indian Hill struggled passingthe ball around a bevy of 5-foot-10 Lady Rocket defenders.Arington’s starting five has noone much over 5-foot-7 evenwith an extra pair of socks.

The Lady Braves did score afew in the paint, but reboundsdidn’t come easy. They tried tomake up for it with long-dis-tance shooting, but only had apair of treys from Schaub andone from Arington.

“If you’re not making them,you’re sprinting back the otherway because you’re not gettingsecond shots,” Arington said.“At this point in the tournament,you just can’t rely on perimetershooting.”

The loss marked the end ofthe prep careers of BeatriceHernandez, Mikayla Germainand Peri Bigelow. Next year ju-niors Sam Arington and Mar-shan Baskin and sophomoreSchaub will have to provide theleadership for a team that alsoincluded five freshmen.

“Getting that experience isso worthwhile for all of the girlswho are back next year,” Aring-ton said. “Each year we get a lit-tle bit better and next year wewant to get to Mason.”

Arington looks forward tothe development of Baskin whoadded another dimension to In-dian Hill’s game with her abilityto score inside and out.

There’s also promisefor the future as the Indi-an Hill eighth-grade teamcame and cheered thegirls on at Withrow.There’s enough talentcoming in for Arington tohave a junior varsitysquad and he looks for-ward to seeing moreyoungsters mix with his

veterans.“Next year starts to-

morrow,” Arington saidless than 30 minutes afterthe McNicholas loss.

All things considered,Indian Hill advanced fur-ther than their coach ex-pected.

“There were a fewrough patches during theyear, but at the end I couldsee us starting to turn thecorner,” Arington said.“We started understand-ing where to get the ball.”

Though the state jug-gernaut St. Xavier Aqua-bombers still reign su-preme in Ohio Division Iswimming, Moeller HighSchool also brought someGreater Catholic League-South pride home fromCanton Feb. 28.

The Crusaders finishedsecond to St. Xavier fortheir best finish in the 50-year history of the pro-gram.

“This has been one ofthe better teams the pasttwo years,” Moeller coachBill Whatley said. “We’vehad second and third (lastyear).”

Whatley has guidedMoeller for most of thepast two decades. For hiswork last season, he wasnamed the National Feder-ation of State High SchoolAssociations Coach of theYear in Ohio.

“We had our top four orfive guys, but our next cou-ple of guys did a great jobof stepping up,” Whatleysaid of the tournament per-formance. “We were hop-ing to make anything withour 200 freestyle relay andwe actually made the topheat. It was huge for us.Getting that third relay inthe finals was an incredi-ble feat.”

Seniors Noah Worobetzand Kevin George and ju-niors Jacob Peloquin andCooper Hodge took fifth inthe 200 medley relay andseventh in the 400 free-style relay. The third wasthe 200 free team ofGeorge, freshman JustinDavidson, sophomore WillMcCullough and juniorDan Nymberg.

Individually, severalCrusaders had bannerdays. Peloquin was fifth inthe 100 butterfly and sev-enth in the 100 backstroke.

“He did good last year,

but he stepped it up anoth-er level this year,” Whatleysaid.

Hodge was fifth in the200 individual medley and15th in the 100 backstroke.George took sixth in the500 freestyle and Woro-betz was 14th in the 100backstroke. Out of 11swims, Moeller made itback to nine finals count-ing the relays. Of thosenine, seven were in the topheat.

With George and Woro-betz graduating, Peloquinand Hodge assume leader-ship roles. In addition tothe younger swimmerswho advanced to Canton,there are several that mayadvance in coming years.

“A couple that didn’t goto the meet but did prettygood at districts are AustinMurphy and JamesPrugh,” Whatley said.

While many athletestake a break or move on toother sports after a staterun, Moeller’s swimmersand most of the competi-tors at their level get rightback to work.

“They’re all going fortheir Y championships orclub championships,”Whatley said. “My otherkids that swim for otherhigh schools are going toGreensboro, N.C., for na-tionals. The CAC (Cincin-nati Aquatic Club) group isgoing to Florida and so areothers. They’re back in thewater and training to gofaster again in a couple ofweeks.”

The veteran coach islooking forward to addinga trophy to Moeller’scrowded case on Montgo-mery Road. Athletic Di-rector Mike Asbeck hasassured Whatley there willbe ample space for theschool’s first state swim-ming hardware.

“At least for a couple ofweeks,” Whatley said witha chuckle.

Mount Notre Damebasketball teams don’thave to dig deep to learnabout the Cougars’ ac-complished basketballlegacy.

The tradition, whichincludes five Division Istate championships, isemblazoned on bannershanging on the gym wallsand shows a gap thisyear’s team hoped to fill.

Mount Notre Dametook care of some of thatSaturday at Harrison.The Cougars came frombehind in the second halfto edge Lakota East, 52-48, and win their firstdistrict championshipsince 2009.

Senior Blair Carlinled three Mount NotreDame players in doublefigures with 16 points asthe Cougars extendedtheir winning streak to 10games.

“We don’t think aboutthe past much at MountNotre Dame,” said the 5-foot-7 Carlin, who sank 7-of-10 free throws, includ-ing two with 13.1 secondsleft to clinch the win.“We wanted to be theteam to bring it back.”

Mount Notre Dame(23-2), the No. 2 team in

the Associated Press Di-vision I statewide polland Enquirer’s Division Icoaches’ poll, is sched-uled to play KetteringFairmont (19-7) in a re-gional semifinal next onWednesday at 6:15 p.m. ata site to be determined.The game normallywould be played at Fair-mont, but Ohio HighSchool Athletic Associa-tion rules prohibit teamsfrom playing tourna-ment games on theirhome courts.

Fairmont advancedwith a 55-47 upset of Ma-son (20-5) in the first ofSaturday’s four games atHarrison.

Junior Lauren VanKleunen scored 19 pointsto lead the Comets, whofinished the regular sea-son ranked eighth in theAssociated Press Divi-sion I statewide poll andtied for third in the En-quirer poll.

After trailing by fourat halftime, the Cougarsearned a 38-38 tie goinginto the fourth quarterbefore taking the leadfor good on an unusualfive-point possessionthat featured anotherMount Notre Dame play-er getting fouled whilesenior Dani Kissel wassinking a go-ahead 3-

pointer from the rightcorner. Junior guard-for-ward Abbie Scholz fol-lowed up with a putbackfor a 43-38 lead.

Senior guard KandaceSatterwhite led bothteams with 19 points forLakota East (19-7), theEnquirer’s sixth-rankedteam. Satterwhitescored on a layup off aspin move and an eight-foot pullup jumper fromthe left baseline to per-sonally cut a seven-pointMount Notre Dame leadto three, 50-47, 58 sec-onds left in the game.

Mount Notre Dame’scurrent winning streakstarted with a convinc-ing 52-31win over LakotaEast on Jan. 20. TheThunderhawks posedmore of a challenge inthe rematch

Satterwhite scored 11points and the Thunder-hawks overcame MountNotre Dame’s 20-10 first-half rebounding advan-tage to lead, 29-25, athalftime. The Cougarshad 11 offensive re-bounds, but they shotjust 29.6 percent fromthe field (8-for-27) in thehalf.

The Thunderhawksshot 52.6 percent (10-of-19) before halftime.

“I think it was our en-

ergy,” Carlin said. “Theywere hitting their shotsand we weren’t.”

Mount Notre Damecoach Scott Rogers cred-ited Lakota East’s defen-sive adjustments withthe Thunderhawks’ im-provement from the firstgame.

“We felt really fortu-nate that we were onlydown by four (at half-time),” he said. “The oth-er thing we weren’t do-ing is we weren’t attack-ing the basket. Scoringinside got us going.

“Even though LakotaEast was playing thatbox-and-one or triangle-and-two, our kids figuredout that we could stillplay basketball. We chal-lenged the kids, and theyresponded like champi-ons.”Lakota East (19-7) – Blomer 2 0 5, Sat-terwhite 7 2 19, Rodgers 11 4, Thomas 3 28, Goodwin 0 1 1, Wills 2 3 7, Azuka 2 0 4.Totals: 48.Mount Notre Dame (23-2) – Davenport4 2 11, Carlin 3 7 16, Scholz 3 0 6, Kissel 5 213, Weeks 1 0 2, Crace 1 0 2, Pisciotta 0 2 2.Totals: 17 13 52.Halftime: Lakota East, 29-25. 3-pointers: L5 (Satterwhite 3, Blomer, Rodgers), M 5(Carlin 3, Davenport, Kissel).Mason (20-5) – Van Kleunen 9 119, Camp-bell 0 1 1, Brinkmann 3 1 7, Mason 1 0 2,Mowbray 3 10 16, Norton 10 2.

MARCH 12, 2015 • INDIAN HILL JOURNAL • B3LIFE

This is the time of yearto be sure you not onlydeal with reputable com-

panieswhen doingyour taxreturns,but makesure thepeople withwhom youare work-ing are alsohonest.

A Cin-cinnati

area woman writes, “Ifiled my taxes Feb. 2, andwas aware I had owed theIRS $911. I was alsoaware I wasn’t going toreceive a tax refund.”

She says the tax pre-

parer to whom she wentknew she wasn’t going toreceive a refund. But, shewas told to sign a “littleblack box” and says,“They did not show mewhat I was signing offnor did they tell me.”

A few days later shesays she received a callsaying her refund of$17.05 had arrived andthat the company alsoreceived an IRS check of$634, which it took as itstax preparation fee.

The IRS says, “It isimportant to choose care-fully when hiring an indi-vidual or firm to prepareyour return. Well-in-tentioned taxpayers canbe misled by preparers

who don’t understandtaxes or who misleadpeople into taking creditsor deductions they aren’tentitled to in order toincrease their fee. Everyyear, these types of taxpreparers face every-thing from penalties toeven jail time for de-frauding their clients.”

So when you choose apreparer be sure theyhave an IRS Preparer TaxIdentification Number.Ask if they have a profes-sional credential such asa Certified Public Ac-count or Attorney.

Check on the prepar-er’s service fees upfrontand avoid those whosefee is based on a percent

of the refund you receive.Always make sure any

refund you receive is sentto you or direct depositedinto your bank account.Do not allow your refundto be deposited into thepreparer’s bank account.

Make sure the prepar-er can submit your returnelectronically. Any taxprofessional who gets

paid to prepare and filemore than 10 returnsgenerally must file thereturns electronically.This is the safest, mostaccurate way to file areturn.

Never sign a blank orincomplete income taxreturn. You must reviewthe entire return –and askquestions if something isnot clear – so you’re com-fortable with the return’saccuracy before you sign.

Make sure the tax

preparer signs the returnand includes their PTINnumber as required bylaw. The preparer mustthen give you a copy ofthe return.

Finally, any tax prepar-er whom you suspect oftax fraud should be re-ported directly to theIRS.

Alice Edwards, a cor-nerstone of St. Paul Com-munity United MethodistChurch’s respected mu-sic program for the past16 years, is retiring as theMadeira church’s orga-nist.

Edwards’ perfor-mances on the church’s2,000-pipe Rodgers organhave become a familiarpart of the church’s min-istry. Those perfor-mances include thechurch’s regular servicesand special programssuch as the long-running“St. Paul Presents” musicseries.

The organist and herhusband, Bruce, whosings with the church’sChancel Choir, are retir-ing to Arizona. Both havealso been featured as vo-calists in the popular St.Paul Cabaret series(which Bruce Edwardsmoderates) that stagedits 10th annual show anddinner in September. Al-ice accompanies other vo-calists who sing in theCabaret shows, includingoutstanding music stu-dents from UC and NKUwho participate in thechurch’s Choral Scholar-ship program.

Edwards has also orga-nized "Pipe Dreams" con-certs at the church, 8221Miami Road, in which shesolos and works with oth-er instrumentalists. Shehas also sought to inspireSt. Paul’s children musi-cally through her “Ped-als, Pipes and Pizza” se-ries.

Alice and Bruce, wholive in Milford, were hon-ored with a luncheonhosted by the St. Paul Mu-sic Committee;

“Her commitment to

St. Paul and its musicministry has been unwa-vering and truly appreci-ated,” St. Paul music di-rector Eric DeForestsaid. “She’ll be greatlymissed.”

He cited the concertshe organized in 2013 tocelebrate the 25th anni-versary of the Rodgersorgan. For the celebra-tion, she invited four mu-sicians who had served asSt. Paul’s organists sincethe instrument was in-stalled. She and the fourplayed to a packed sanc-tuary.

Edwards, who firststudied organ at the Uni-versity of Minnesota,earned a magna cum lau-de degree at San JoseState University and thenadded graduate study atthe University of the Pa-cific. She and Bruce, whoholds a degree in musiceducation from LaVerneUniversity in California,moved to Cincinnati whenhe was transferred hereby Procter & Gamble.
