It’s the little things that giveBob Off pleasure.

Like the miniature roomsand their tiny furnishings thatOff makes, even though hishands are almost too large toput them together.

Since he retired from a ca-reer in commercial real estatein 2010, Off has had even moretime to put into his wee wonders– which sell for thousands ofdollars.

On Sunday, Dec. 6, Off willspeak about his art at an IndianHill Church forum to be heldfrom 9 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. at thechurch at 6000 Drake Road in

Indian Hill.“He will be talking about his

passion for building miniaturerooms,” said Karen Pauly, ad-ministrative assistant at IndianHill Church.

“He will share the history ofhow he started making theseminiature perfections, give ex-amples and explain how he doesthem.”

Helene Bentley will singsome of her favorite jazz songsat an Indian Hill Church forumSunday, Dec. 13.

Bentley’s forum also will beheld from 9 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. atthe church.

“Learn about her love of mu-sic, how she continues to workon performing and passing on

this love to others - especially inher family,” Pauly said.

Indian Hill Church memberGerri Strauss said Off and Bent-ley’s presentations are sure tobe crowd-pleasers.

“These two presenters areparishioners at our church whohave passions that have becomelife-long pursuits,” Strauss said.

A local group that organizeda crisis relief project for over-seas is hoping to raise funds tocontinue its mission of helpingchildren and families impactedby the war in Syria.

Crisis Relief OverSeas(CROS) is hosting a fundraisingWine & Craft Beer event Friday,Dec. 4, at Archbishop MoellerHigh School, 9001 MontgomeryRoad. The evening runs 7 p.m.to 10 p.m. with tickets costing$50. There is also a VIP eventstarting at 6 p.m. with admis-sion tickets for the entire eve-ning costing $100. A total of 500admission tickets are available.To RSVP visitwww.crosinitiative.org.

CROS was founded in 2015 byChris Erdmann and veteran Fla-vio Gallegos. Erdman, theCROS president, is a local man.Now 33, he grew up in AndersonTownship and attended Arch-bishop Moeller High School.

Erdmann said that he was in-spired to create the group whenhe was working as a U.S. De-partment of Defense contractorin Kosovo. While there, he didvolunteer work providing med-ical assistance to children. Henoticed not only his own willing-ness and eagerness to volunteerbut that of other contractorswho all, like him, were U.S. mil-itary veterans.

The idea for CROS was born

in April, and by June Erdmannhad certification for CROS. Cur-rently he’s waiting for the 501(c)(3).

Tim Erdmann is Chris’ dad,CROS vice president, and aMoeller teacher of 28 years. Hesaid that he’s not surprised byhis son’s efforts. Service to oth-

ers is a key principle empha-sized at Moeller, he said. It’s alsosomething he and his wife, Di-ana, supported in their Ander-son Township home.

In his junior year, Erdmansaid that his son was part of aArchbishop Moeller HighSchool service trip to Central

America/Honduras working onrebuilding an orphanage andworking in the local hospital.The trip was life-changing. Af-ter graduation, he went on to theU.S. Coast Guard, then the Unit-ed States Air Force before tak-ing a job as a security contrac-tor for the Department of De-

fense. It was as a security con-tractor in Bosnia and Kosovo hebegan helping innocent victimsof war, Tim Erdmann said.

“As a Christian and believer,he’s living his faith,” he said ofhis son adding how proud he isof him.

In just a few short months,CROS has achieved much butthere’s much more to do, ChrisErdmann said. CROS is current-ly operating a medical projectin Mafraq, Jordan, providingthe only medical services avail-able to over 40 Syrian refugeefamilies who have fled thefighting in Syria, he said.

CROS is working with achurch from Israel and one ofits members, pediatrician Dr.Ashraf Goussous.

“The majority of our patientsare children, Erdmann said.“What we do, it’s home-basedmedical care rather than clinic.It’s home-based and holistic. Wedon’t just care for their wounds,we also help them mentally.Many have traumatic stress.”

This is something the veter-ans who are volunteering theirservices can relate to, he said.One of those veterans is para-medic Carlo Hodil from Geor-gia.

“He can directly relate tothem,” Erdmann said. “He’sseen the things they’ve seen.He’s seen friends die in combat.It builds a bond.”

in the struggle against ter-rorism.

“They don’t know whywe would travel all theway from America to helpthem, and it’s totallychanging their under-standing of Americans,”

he said.The CROS team is able

to provide much-neededmedical help and at thesame time, as veterans,they are building positiverelationships.

A Montgomery seniorliving community is ex-panding and will increaseits population by about 100people.

Twin Lakes Senior Liv-ing Community is adding45 independent-livingapartments, a casual din-ing venue, a communitycenter, a retail develop-ment and a new buildingwith about 40 to 56 memo-ry-support assisted livingaccommodations as partof its $52 million expan-sion, Life Enriching Com-munity President and CEOScott McQuinn said.

“It is a multiple partproject. The main goal isto enhance what we callthe continuum of servicesthat are available at TwinLakes. We have severalthings, but we felt likethere were some thingsthat were missing and wewanted to add,” McQuinnsaid.

McQuinn said TwinLakes already has memo-

ry-care in a nursing set-ting, but doesn’t have it inan assisted living setting.

Twin Lakes has a 65-acre campus with villahomes, apartments, assist-ed living, rehabilitationtherapy services and nurs-ing care services for about400 residents. It opened in2005 and has had 98 per-cent occupancy sincethen, with a significantwaiting list, McQuinn said.

“Twin Lakes Senior Liv-ing Community has al-

ways been a valued part-ner in local special events,such as Holiday in the Vil-lage, and civic engage-ment, as well as with theMontgomery Citizens’Leadership Academy,”Montgomery City Man-ager Wayne Davis said.

Construction on the ex-pansion would begin inearly summer 2016 andfinish in late 2017.

“This project will helpthem to realize their visionof growth, continuing to

offer housing and retailoptions for the communitywhile providing outstand-ing services to their resi-dents and continuous rein-vestment in the Montgo-mery community,” Davissaid.

McQuinn said TwinLakes will also be doingsome renovations, repur-posing existing space andbuilding a 60-space park-ing garage beneath thenew apartments.

“We have a very strongrelationship with the cityof Montgomery. We havebeen there for a little over12 years now. The city hasbeen very supportive inworking with us and fig-ure out the best way to laythis out and make sure allthe things are considered,traffic flow and things likethat. We are going to bethere a long time, so it is ineverybody’s best inter-est,” McQuinn said.

Madeira is one stepcloser to getting its ownversion of Paxton’s Grill.

City Council approvedtwo ordinances allowingthe city to enter into con-tracts to sell part of theMuchmore House proper-ty, 7010 Miami Ave., toPaxton’s co-owner TomPowers, who will sell thecity the parking area ofthe old B&B Mower prop-erty, 7710 Railroad Ave.,in exchange.

Powers wants to open arestaurant, Swing LineGrill, at the old B&B Mow-er site. He is negotiatingwith the owners to buy theproperty. He plans to turnit into a $1 million to $1.2million restaurant andsell all the surroundingland, except for what hisbuilding will be on, backto the city.

Council approved bothordinances by a vote of6-1, with Councilman TomAshmore voting againstthem. The ordinances areto allow City ManagerTom Moeller to enter intothe contracts.

“We have a great op-portunity here. (Powers)is doing the city a big fa-vor by offering to createthis public parking. Thisis a good deal for the cityin my mind. It would notmake sense for us to letthis opportunity go by,”Mayor Mike Steur said.

Council approved thecontracts “in a form sub-stantially the same” as theones that were attached tothe council packet. Ac-cording to the memo fromMoeller, it means councilrecognizes that furtherdiscussions may takeplace to address addition-al details with the con-tracts. Because Powershas not closed on the B&BMower property, theplans for what portion of

the parking area and whatpart of vacant land at theMuchmore property willexchange hands has notbeen determined.

Both properties wereappraised at $43 persquare foot.

Though using tax in-crement financing, or aTIF, has been a commontopic of discussion for thecity, Powers said he is notreliant on using a TIF tobuild Swing Line Grill.

“There is still a lot ofwork to be done. I am notasking for a TIF. The citystarted looking into that. Ireally don’t care how youdo it. I am willing to talkabout doing that. Our goalis to build Swing LineGrill. There is no taxabatement. There is nospecial treatment. Wewant to help create some-thing great in Madeira,”Powers said.

A dozen residentsspoke about Powers andSwing Line Grill at themeeting, with the major-ity in favor of it.

Planning Commissionmember Kyle Hern andChristine Parker, ownerof Creativities in theMuchmore House, ex-pressed concerns aboutthe city’s lack of planningfor the Madeira HistoricDistrict and the CentralBusiness District.

Hern said the cityneeds to focus more onplanning and get awayfrom reacting to develop-ers’ plans.

“My concern is the bigpicture for the area. I amfine with a restaurant.But, I don’t understandthe lack of planning andthe lack of vision preced-ing these kinds of offers,”Parker said.

At a time of year whenmany pause to considerthe things for which theyare thankful, MadeiraMiddle School studentsare focusing their atten-tion on need.

“We’re doing EmptyBowls and it’s a project toraise awareness for hun-ger, homelessness andpoverty,” student Marga-ret Sampson said. “We’vebeen working for a whileon research and we’re do-ing booths for people toknow more about the prob-lems and how to help.”

The Empty Bowls

event is scheduled for 5p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Dec.4, at Madeira MiddleSchool cafeteria and gym-nasium. Because commu-nity support for the eventhas been tremendous inpast years, it has been ex-tended by one hour thisyear, the space extendedto include the gymnasium,and more bowls were add-ed, language arts teacherLindsey Isaacs said.

The bowls symbolizeall the people around theworld and locally whohave empty bowls andcan’t get anything to eat,student Katy Dimmittsaid.

“All the guests who

come in to eat, they get abowl to take home and it’slike tying a knot aroundtheir finger. It’s a remind-er about what EmptyBowls is really all about,”she said.

Empty Bowls is an in-ternational grassrootsmovement to end hunger.Madeira’s students begantheir project about twomonths ago by reading thebook “Start Somethingthat Matters” written bythe founder of TOMS,Blake Mycoskie. Thebook’s focus is on having apositive, global impact.TOMS operates on theone-for-one business mod-el which involves helping

a person in need with ev-ery product purchased.

Over a two month peri-od – through work in art,social studies and lan-guage arts – the studentsresearched specific socialissues, developed argu-ment papers, createdbooths representing localagencies, and made theirbowls. Additionally, theycreated invitations andpersonally invited peopleto their Empty Bowls din-ner.

In past years, each sev-enth-grader made onebowl. This year each stu-dent made two, art teacherLiz Rossi said.

“That’s about 200bowls. Last year we actu-ally ran out,” she said. “So

each student made twobowls knowing that theywere making the bowls forguests at the dinner.”

The suggested dinnercost is $5 per person and$10 per family. With thecost of admission, guestsreceive a handmade ce-ramic bowl and a simplemeal of soup generouslyprovided by La Soupefrom Newtown and otherdishes donated by fam-ilies. The cost of the ad-mission ticket goes to-wards the fight againsthunger, homelessness andpoverty within the Cincin-nati community.

The students agreedthat the project was aneye-opening experienceand they learned how won-

derful it feels to help oth-ers.

“There’s so much outthere that I didn’t knowabout,” student MickMattson said. “Becausewe’re stuck in like this Ma-deira bubble, that’s whatwe call it. Our town is sosmall compared to the restof the world which is sobig. We don’t realizewhat’s going on eventhough it’s an important is-sue.”

Thanks to this project,and the outreach theyhave been involved in as aresult, the students saidthat they feel a greaterawareness about home-lessness, poverty and hun-ger and are familiar withways to help.

Moeller High School

Seventeen years agoDan Leugers, class of1977, began the school’sfirst canned food drive.That year 65 boxes offood were collected. Thisyear 1,200 boxes, totalingclose to $30,000 will bedonated to St. VincentDePaul Society and St.George Food Pantry.Each box of food willfeed a family of four fortwo days.

“For the St. GeorgeFood Pantry the need isgreat. These donationswill stock their shelvesuntil spring. If we did notdonate to St. George itwould be a huge devas-tation because they relyso heavily on this dona-tion” Leugers said.

For many people inour community, hunger

and food insecurity are adifficult reality. Thou-sands of adults, childrenand seniors in our com-munities are strugglingwith hunger every day.Food insecurity refers tothe availability of foodand access to it. Thosewho are considered foodinsecure do not knowwhen they will have theirnext meal. Many in lowor fixed income situa-tions are food insecure,often forced to choosebetween buying food orpaying for rent and util-ities. The increasing costof living coupled with thedownturn in the economyhas forced a growingnumbers of the middleclass to utilize emergen-cy food assistance.

Leugers watches on asthe SVDP trucks arebeing loaded.

“Each year we sendout a list of donationitems and then the dona-tions pour in. We are soblessed to be able to helpand this is definitely agood thing!”

Moeller’s canned fooddrive takes place everyNovember.

“Thanksgiving is awonderful time for eachof us to help those lessfortunate as a sign of ourgratitude for all themany blessings we en-joy,” Principal BlaneCollison said.

“Thanks to all thosewho gave so generouslyto our annual cannedfood drive to help thosein need of assistance.Your contribution will goa long way in serving theCincinnati communityand assisting families inneed of our help.”

An ounce of prevention is worth a poundof cure. Especially when it comes to leav-ening baked goods during this super busyholiday season.

That’s why I’m reminding you again tocheck your leavening agents. For bakingpowder, stir a teaspoon or so into 1/4 cupwarm water. It should fizz up right away. Ifnot, toss it.

To test leavening power in baking soda,stir a teaspoon or so into 1/4 cup of vinegaror lemon juice. It should also fizz up rightaway.

Stir a packet of yeast in very warm water witha pinch of sugar to feed it. If it’s good, it will bub-ble/foam after a few minutes. I store my yeast inthe freezer for longer shelf life.

Readers want to knowWhat’s that white coating or speckling on my

chocolate?The whitish layer/speckling is what is known as

“chocolate bloom.” There are two types: fat andsugar bloom.

Fat bloom is caused when chocolate is exposed

to high temperatures and then allowed toreset, or is not tempered properly. Thecocoa butter melts and separates, thenrises to the surface creating a whitish“bloom.”

Sugar/speckled bloomChocolate looks speckled rather than

whitish. Caused by an excess of moisturethat makes the sugar crystallize.

Store in cool place to avoid bloom.

Using bloomed chocolateYes, it’s safe. It may not have the “snap” and

silky-smooth texture of tempered chocolate, butthe flavor is still good.

Difference between bitter, bittersweet,semisweet, milk and white chocolate.

Savory, sweet bacon, coffee cake for brunch

Savory and sweet bacon for brunch

This is a good recipe for brunch since it’s yummy warm or roomtemperature. The cayenne gives it punch; the sugar lends a mellowsweetness. Use high quality, thick cut bacon for best results.

1 pound thick cut bacon

Mix:

1/4 cup brown sugar, packedScant 1/2 teaspoon ea. cayenne and black pepper

Preheat oven to 350. Lay bacon in single layer on sprayed sheet.Rub a bit less than half the sugar mixture on top. Bake in mid-

dle of oven about 15-20 minutes. Turn over and sprinkle with rest ofmixture. Bake until crisp, about 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Lois Boekley’s Crumb Coffee Cake

Brunch is a popular way to entertain during the holidays.Here’s a recipe from reader Lois Boekley, who treasures her family’sgenerational recipes. Lois said: “I got the recipe from my grand-mother many years ago, and tweaked it to make it my own. I haveshared this cake with many people over the years to welcome newneighbors, for potlucks, and for friends who are under the weath-er.” Lois’ tip on not over mixing the batter results in a more tender,nice textured, cake.

3 -1/3 cups all purpose flour2-1/4 cups sugar1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon1/2 teaspoon nutmegPinch salt18 tablespoons salted butter or margarine1 cup buttermilk1 teaspoon baking soda2 eggs

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch roundor two 8-inch square pans or one 13 X 9-inch pan.

Combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.Using a pastry blender cut in the butter or margarine. (This

can also be done in batches in a food processor.)Remove 2 cups of the mixture and set aside.Stir the baking soda into the buttermilk. Immediately add the

buttermilk mixture and the eggs to the remaining crumb mixture.Mix only until the mixture is evenly moistened; do not over mix.The batter will be lumpy.

Transfer the batter into the prepared pan(s). Sprinkle with thereserved crumb mixture.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean,about 25 to 30 minutes for the 8- or 9-inch cakes or 30 to 35 min-utes for the 13 X 9-inch cake. Cool on a wire rack.

Note: This cake is best served warm. Reheat individual por-tions in the microwave oven.

A publication of

The people of AndersonTownship seemingly don’tcare that they’re about tobecome an upper middle classmining community.

There will be no big influxof jobs or windfall tax reve-nues, just 500 acres of un-derground mining, blastingand 20,000 tons of ammoniumnitrate in their back yard.Anderson Township is notbeing a good neighbor. An-derson Township trustees donot represent the interests oftheir residents. Their resi-dents and the communities ofIndian Hill, Newtown, Ter-race Park and Milford haveasked them to not allow Mar-tin Marietta blast for lime-stone.

This is not about AndersonTownship’s autonomy. This isabout Martin Marietta payingoff backroom discussions to

push theiragenda. That’scalled autoc-racy, not au-tonomy. RussJackson’sstatementironicallycites autono-my as impor-tant for prop-erty values.People of An-

derson Township it’s time tolet your trustees know a lime-stone mine does not protectyour property values - or yourchildren.

Don’t think it’s a big deal?Here are facts about MartinMarietta and their plannedblasting:

» Martin Marietta willdetonate explosives eachworkday- when our kids arewalking to and from school.

» They’ll store 20,000 tonsof ammonium nitrate on site(Timothy McVeigh used 5,000pounds in the Oklahoma Citybombing).

» Tons of explosives will betransported to the site onlocal roads past homes, storesand parks.

» Blasting will producefugitive dust and other airpollutants increasing alreadyhigh rates of asthma and oth-er respiratory issues.

» There will be up to 500truck trips a day.

» There will be the noise ofrock crushers, conveyers andbackup horns.

» Drinking water disrup-tion from impacts to wells andcisterns is likely.

» There will be detrimentaleffects on the environment,wildlife and the landscape.

» The permit, once grant-

ed, would be good for 50years.

Anderson trustees andMartin Marietta promise tofollow all the rules that theysay protect communities fromthe above. Ask Carmel, Indi-ana, how that has worked outfor them. Trustees in Carmelhave repeatedly tried to en-force ordinances regulatingMartin Marietta mining oper-ations; each time Martin Mar-ietta has sued them, got in-junctions and won.

Not worried about ammoni-um nitrate? The West Texasexplosion in 2013 killed 15people, injured more than 160,and damaged or destroyedmore than 150 buildings. Itwas caused by ammoniumnitrate. U.S. law requires anybusiness stockpiling morethan 400 pounds of ammoni-um nitrate to register with the

Department of HomelandSecurity.

Timothy McVeigh used5,000 pounds of ammoniumnitrate plus 500 blasting capsfor half of the components ofhis bomb. He stole the blast-ing caps from a Martin Mari-etta mining site. Andersonwill have amonium nitrateand blasting caps on site; theAnderson Trustees will beresponsible for their storageand security. Mr. Jackson,skip autonomy and explainhow you will keep us safefrom 20,000 tons of ammoni-um nitrate! Our safety is inthe hands Anderson Townshiptrustees.

Mr. Jackson, now that youhave court approved autono-my, use it for good - use it toblock Martin Marietta.

Hester Sullivan is a resi-dent of Terrace Park.

Nov. 26 questionWould you feel safe traveling

to Europe in light of the Paris at-tacks? What would it take tomake you feel safe there?

“Had this question beenasked even two years ago myanswer would have been asimple ‘sure.’ However, in lightof the ever-increasing audacityof radical Islamist groups (yesObama, you should use thatlabel), I would be extremelyuncomfortable traveling inEurope with that all too identi-fiable dark blue passport. It isa shame that so many inno-cents have been killed in suchviolent manners. It is a shamethat it takes events with themagnitude of 9/11 or Paris orLondon trains or US embassiesor hotels in Mali to wake moreof the world up to the ever-increasing threat radical Is-lamists insist is good religion.It is a shame that we can’t alljust learn to get along witheach other. It will be a realshame if we end up next No-vember with another weaksympathizer living at 1600Pennsylvania. Let us hope anpray for real leadership toguide us through and beyondthe terrorism quagmire.”

M.J.F.

“I would not feel safe trav-eling to Europe or for thatmatter any other foreign coun-try except Canada. I have feltthis way since 9/11 and theseterrorist attacks such as Parisreconfirm my fears. Europe isbeing over run with refugeesfrom the Middle East. Odd howso many are trying to get out ofthese Muslim countries; yetthey are not headed to Dubaior Qatar. Go Figure!”

Recently, the city was jolt-ed by statistics that the per-centage of African Americanstudents, faculty, and admin-istrators at the University ofCincinnati has been decliningat the University of Cincin-nati. These are followed byprotests at the University ofMissouri.

The deeper and more ex-pansive question then is whatis happening to equal oppor-tunity in education at ouruniversities, and more specif-ically where is affirmativeaction going in our nation?

When I was in the firstyear of law school in 1978, thebuzz on campus was Univer-sity of California v. Bakke.

Allan Bakke was not thefirst person to challengeaffirmative action and willnot be the last. Indeed, Cali-fornia, Michigan and Wash-ington have amended theirstate constitutions to ban the

practice ofaffirmativeaction. At thismoment,there is acoordinatedpoliticalmovement toonce and forall end af-firmativeactionthrough court

cases. It should be no sur-prise that Fisher v. Univer-sity of Texas is back beforethe United States SupremeCourt for the second time.

I follow with enthusiasmand distress in equal measureof the fact that a number ofAsian American groups arejoining Abigail Fisher in hereffort to get the High Courtto strike down affirmativeaction. A reason is that statis-tics show that many AsianAmericans with perfect aca-

demic numerical scores havebeen rejected by the top uni-versities and they blametheir misfortune on affirma-tive action. The irony andtragedy is that simultaneous-ly the percentage representa-tion of African Americans isstill lagging as is the case atthe University of Cincinnati.

In the face of hard statis-tical data, will Fisher prevailthis time? A question worthyof the difficulty of a GordianKnot. Some people are con-vinced that the time has comefor affirmative action. Butwait - my suggestion to alluniversities which use a high-er admission standardagainst Asian American andwhose other minority enroll-ment still lags is for the uni-versity to (1) use strict quan-titative performance admis-sion when admitting highschool graduates in the tophalf of the academic bell

curve, and (2) retain affirma-tive action as we know it inthe other half of the curve.This is called the Tao of Split-ting the Bell into Two EqualHalves.

Wise as King Solomon was,he did not get the chance todivide a baby into two, butthe academic curve of col-lege applicants is somethingdifferent! This Gaussian bell,of course, has for the abscis-sa, the quantitative score ofapplicants for the first yearclass and the ordinate givesthe number of persons with acertain score. With the strokeof the pen, this bell can bedivided into two parts fairlydown the distribution medi-an! Problem solved becauseit appears of me that thework of affirmative action isnot yet complete.

The Tao for affirmative action

CharlestonC.K. WangCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

American health care ismoving towards a help your-self mentality that encour-ages everyone, even seniors,to become proactive abouttheir own health. The newage of health care followingthe Affordable Care Act hasplaced much of the responsi-bility on the individual tokeep in the best possiblephysical shape to avoidchronic illnesses.

Hospitals and other careproviders have initiated pre-vention and wellness pro-grams to encourage patientsto be proactive about theirhealth. These prevention andwellness initiatives are beingguided by a number of fac-tors within the Americanhealthcare system:

Chronic diseases are in-creasing with our aging pop-ulation.

As adults grow older, theyoften become overweight andinactive which can lead todiabetes, heart problems, and

a host of other chronic condi-tions.

People have trouble com-municating with their doc-tors.

According to the Centerfor Advanced Health, onlyabout half of all Medicarepatients bring a list of ques-tions to ask their doctorsduring appointments. Aboutone-third of patients over theage of 44 suffering from achronic condition say theysometimes leave the doctoroffice feeling confused aboutwhat they are supposed to do.

Many people are reactiveto their own healthcare.

One Internet survey citedby the Center for AdvancedHealth demonstrates justhow reactive most patients

are: 90 percent of respon-dents in that survey said theywould become active in im-proving their own health ifthey were diagnosed with achronic illness. Taking con-trol of one’s own health onlyafter an illness occurs ismuch too late to improvehealth during senior life.

A better senior lifethrough a proactive approach

You can enjoy a betterlifestyle in your senior yearsby adopting a proactive ap-proach to your own health-care today. You could, forexample, start by:

» Work on your healthliteracy. Learn everythingyou can about good health;educate yourself before youbecome sick so you can learnsymptoms and preventativestrategies.

» See your doctor reg-ularly. Bring a list of ques-tions to ask and write downthe answers. Ask a friend orfamily member to come with

you if you tend to feel con-fused or overwhelmed.

» Adopt healthy habits.Eat low-calorie, nutritiousmeals and exercise regularlyto keep your weight undercontrol. Stop using tobaccoand drink alcohol only inmoderation, if you drink atall. Proper nutrition, physicalactivity, healthy lifestyle andslim waistline reduce yourrisk for developing manychronic illnesses.

You can improve your ownhealth and the quality ofhealthcare you receive bybecoming proactive. Learnabout your body and the ill-nesses that can affect you.Communicate with your doc-tor as an informed patient.Become proactive about yourhealth today to enjoy a bettersenior life tomorrow.

Indian Hill returns state meet experi-ence on the girls side, led by Ohio Statecommit Devin Landstra.

She placed third in the 50 yard free-style and sixth in the 100 yard backstrokeat state as a junior. Elizabeth Drerupplaced fifth in the 100 yard backstroke.

Teammates Avery Pearson andBridget Pavlick also competed at statelast year in relay events with Landstraand Drerup. They, along with Mary KateJutze, aim to qualify in individual eventsthis year.

Indian Hill divers include sopho-mores Annie Garrettson and Violet Rob-ertson and freshmen Lexi Magenhiemand Makenna Hack.

A newish era begins for CincinnatiCountry Day as Jana Westhoven takesover the program from former headcoach Benson Spurling. She served as

the top assistant last year.According to her brief bio on the

school’s athletic website, the coach islooking to ensure the transition is seam-less and that a changing of the guarddoesn’t signify a change in success.

To do so, someone needs to step in andfill Allie Wooden’s spot as that top swim-mer.

Last season, Wooden won state titlesin the 100 and 200 freestyle races, turn-ing in times of 49.43 seconds in the 100free and 1:46.96, breaking her old recordin the 200 freestyle. She was namedfemale swimmer of the meet and namedMiami Valley Conference girls swimmerof the year.

She currently swims at Southern Cali-fornia.

Potential candidates to be the it-girlinclude Jenna Macrae, Holly Jacobs andSophie Hudson.

Mount Notre Dame is led by GraciDoll, Corinne Herwitz, Amanda Puthoff,

Annie Kruspe, and Kate Van Den Brink.The Lady Cougars will field a deeper andmore experienced squad in coach PeteWagner’s second season at MND. Thatdepth is bolstered by the addition ofsome swimmers who returned to thesport to compete for the varsity team af-ter taking some time off from competi-tion.

“This team is well-rounded and com-prised of swimmers that are committedto the sport and not afraid to work hard,”said Wagner. Grace Menke earned diverof the year honors in the GGCL last yearas a freshman.

St. Ursula, with its young talent androster laden with state swimmers, is ex-pected to be one of the city’s best againthis season.

However, the Bulldogs aren’t the onlyGGCL team with talented youngsterswho earned state experience. The girlsoff Pfeiffer road might have somethingto say about that.

Ursuline, like its rival, sent numerousswimmers to Canton’s waters.

Julia Moran advanced in the 100 and200 freestyle races. Rollie Grinderjoined her in the 200 and swam the 500freestyle along with Christine Van Kirk.

A newish era begins for CincinnatiCountry Day as Jana Westhoven takesover the program from former headcoach Benson Spurling. She served asthe top assistant last year.

According to her brief bio on theschool’s athletic website, the coach islooking to ensure the transition is seam-less and that a changing of the guarddoesn’t signify a change in success.

It doesn’t appear that will be too muchof an issue as the Enquirer tabbed Cin-cinnati Country Day as one of the teamsto watch in Division II.

Senior Malcolm Doepke, fresh offcommitting to Ashland University,should return for another strong season.

He qualified for the state meet in the200 and 500 freestyle races and as amember of the 400 freestyle relay.

John Pettengill, Charlie Sachs andGeorge Crowley can return and make animpact as well. All three were districtparticipants last year.

Indian Hill’s boys team is young, ledby sophomores Max Eihausen and SamOkum. Both earned honorable mentionall-conference recognition as freshmen.

“Our team is very small, with manynew members, so it’s somewhat of a re-building year for our team,” said coachEmily Hardy.

Diver Noah Vigran qualified for stateand placed sixth last year as a freshman.That finish motivated him to work evenharder in the offseason, said his divingcoach Ray Noble.

Moeller finished second in the statelast year, behind only Greater CatholicLeague rival St. Xavier.

The Crusaders return all but twomembers of that Division I state runner-up team. Jacob Peloquin placed fifth inthe state in the 100-yard butterfly andseventh in the 100-yard backstroke.

Cooper Hodge finished fifth in the200-yard individual medley. Both areback for their senior season. Senior DanNyberg and juniors Austin Theobald andWill McCullough also return.

Peloquin, a Miami University com-mit, and Hodge, a University of Wiscon-sin commit, will anchor the Crusaders’relay teams. Expectations will be highfor this team in 2015-2016.

St. Xavier High School’s swim teamhas, for a long time, held the state podi-

um in a stranglehold. The Bombers havecultivated and sustained one of the mostimpressive programs the area has everseen.

Last season, St. Xavier won its sev-enth consecutive Division I state cham-pionship (36th all-time) and the Bombersreturn buses full of top-tier talent in thewater.

The Bombers also rotated the coach-ing carousel this year. Longtime headcoach Jim Brower moved from the headposition to an assistant, to make way forformer assistant Tim Beerman to takeover as head coach. Beerman was previ-ously a head coach at Ursuline Academy.

“It’s worth mentioning that this teamis 100 members strong and while we cer-tainly can point to some of our tops swim-mers at the state level,” Beerman said,“the focus of the team is really abouthelping everyone discover and reach thepotential they have.”

Junior Grant House is without ques-tion the fastest swimmer in state. House

has already won four individual statechampionships (two as a freshman, twoas a sophomore), and he’s helped on anumber of state championship relayteams. Last year, he won the 100 and 200freestyle races at state.

Senior Matt Slabe, also an individualstate qualifier, swam on the 400 freestylerelay team that won a state title last year.Junior Luke Sobolewski’s another expe-rienced swimmer who won a state titleon the 200 medley relay last year. JuniorCharles Leibson was an individual statequalifier in two races last year, and justfinished helping the Bombers win a wa-ter polo state championship. SophomoreJustin Grender was another differencemaker at state last year, as was sopho-more Nicholas Perera.

Beerman has also been very im-pressed by freshman Jake Foster.

GirlsContinued from Page 1B

Their schedule is so jam-packed thatduring a recent three-week stay in Flori-da, they missed 52 sporting events.

Such is the life of Charley and LoraineWolf, grandparents of 19 and parents ofsix of the most athletically-blessed sonsin Greater Cincinnati history. As thegrandchildren grow and develop, theWolf name continues to rack up trophiesand notoriety.

Charley Wolf is not your ordinarygrandfather. Most men at 89 years olddon’t walk at his pace, let alone play ten-nis three times a week. On his “off days,”he still hits balls alone.

The legend beginsBack in the day, Charley Wolf coached

the NBA Cincinnati Royals from 1960-63,then the Detroit Pistons until 1966. Alongthe way, Charley and Loraine had sixsons: Marty, Steve, Greg, Jeff, Daniel andDavid.

Prior to that, Wolf played football, bas-ketball and baseball at St. Xavier, then lat-er played at Notre Dame and some probaseball in the Reds organization.

“I started out at Newport Catholic andthey didn’t have sports,” he said. “Iswitched over to St. X for two years andthen went in the service right out of highschool.”

After a U.S. Navy stint, Wolf was re-united with his high school quarterback,George Ratterman at Notre Dame. In theearly ‘40s, as noted in a piece by the En-quirer’s Tom Groeschen in 2003, Ratter-man and Wolf played a part in the evolu-tion of St. Xavier’s nickname.

They were once the Conquerors, butthanks to Ratterman’s missiles to hislanky receiver, the school became theBombers. Later, all six Wolf boys becameBombers.

Early influencesCharley and Loraine’s boys were all

athletically successful in basketball.Marty played at Xavier under Tay Baker;Steve went to North Carolina State, thentransferred back to Xavier; Greg playedat Spring Hill (Alabama); and Jeff, Danieland David all played at Rollins College inFlorida.

The Wolfs benefited from having amother who pushed them outside and afather who brought them in contact withsome of the finest basketball players inthe world. Charley coached the legend-ary Oscar Robertson and it wasn’t unusu-al for NBA players to join the family fordinner.

“They would all come over to thehouse when we were young and shootaround,” Jeff Wolf said. “I didn’t knowwho they were.”

K.C. Jones, Sam Jones and Bob Cousyfrom the Celtics visited once. Anothertime, shooter Tom Van Arsdale came bywith some Royals and a young Greg Wolfshowed his innocence and curiosity byasking, “Which one of you is the gunner?”

The brushes with greatness paid offfor the boys who all went on to becomecaptains at St. Xavier High School.

“I used to go shoot at the Fenwick Clubwith Adrian Smith (former KentuckyWildcat/Cincinnati Royal),” Steve Wolfsaid. “He was the MVP of the ‘67 All-StarGame. My brother Marty was a greatshooter and passed it on down to every-one.”

As Charley Wolf explains, Martywould work with Steve, then Greg wouldhave Steve and Marty working with him.With each boy, there was the same pass-ing of knowledge and each would try toemulate what their older siblings had ac-

complished.Naturally, basketball is a sport that

comes second nature to a Wolf. MartyWolf’s sons Martin, Johnny and Nick allhad stellar careers at St. Xavier and wenton to play in college.

Martin played at Hanover, Johnny wasat Xavier and UNC-Wilmington and Nickwas a Division II All-American at Rollins,where he broke every record his unclesachieved at the Florida school. Their old-er sister, Kristen Wolf Kronauge, playedtennis at Sycamore and Xavier.

From one net to anotherTennis is where the Wolfs really have a

dynasty and all goes back to a couple ofear infections. When Charley Wolf wouldspeak at the old Fenwick club downtown,he never took money. But the facility of-fered swimming lessons for his boys.

When Marty and Steve’s ear issueskept them out of the pool, tennis wasserved as an option. Wolf jumped at thechance to cross-train his sons with lateralmovement. At age 44, Charley Wolf beganhitting tennis balls with his sons.

Marty won five Cincinnati Metropoli-tan tournaments. That record was laterbroken by his brother, Jeff, who won six.

“I worked with him,” Marty Wolf said.“Let’s face it. If I didn’t have five, hewouldn’t have had six. He was shootingfor it the whole time. He was 10 yearsyounger and that was a goal of his.”

Jeff is the father of Danielle Wolf, whoplays at Indiana, and J.J. Wolf, whoplayed at Cincinnati Country Day.

As high school freshmen, both madethe state finals. J.J. does not participate inhigh school tennis now because of his U.S.Tennis Association ranking. He is homeschooled.

J.J. Wolf has played kids from Italy,China and Hungary. He also played lastyear’s state champion, Asher Hirsch, andwon. Uncle Marty Wolf boasts that J.J. isbetter as a teenager than he was in hisprime.

“It’s been really fun watching mynephews and nieces,” Marty Wolf said.“Greg’s kids were Players of the Year inthe state in volleyball and then there’s J.J.(Jeff’s son).”

Greg Wolf’s oldest daughter, Andrea,was a Player of the Year in tennis forMND and played at Xavier.

A higher netVolleyball is a sport Charley Wolf

doesn’t totally understand, but enjoyswatching. Whatever the competition is,the patriarch is usually in the stands.

“He said he went to 19 events oneweek,” Dan Wolf said.

The fifth of six, Dan’s son, Alex, playsgolf and basketball at St. Xavier andfreshman Samantha plays volleyball atMount Notre Dame.

The Wolf volleyball legend at MND be-gan with Greg Wolf’s daughters, Kelseyand Margo. The pair played together onMND’s 2011 state championship teamwith Kelsey moving on to Kentucky andMargo going to Dayton.

Steve Wolf’s daughter, Sabrina, was onlast year’s state title team and is an earlycommit to the University of Cincinnati.Younger sister, Stevie, joins the fray nextyear as the brothers see their childrenshare the floor. Of the brothers, Jeff andDan were the only to play together, at Rol-lins.

Family obligationsOn the football field, Steve’s son,

Chase, is a sophomore quarterback.Chase is in line to sling “bombs” for the St.Xavier team his grandfather helpedname.

Most of the time, the family finds aseat in venues they’ve probably sat inhundreds of times to watch someone with“Wolf” on their back.

“It’s something that keeps me busy; ithelps,” Charley Wolf said. “It’s a way ofconnecting with them. A lot of timesgrandparents have trouble connectingwith their grandchildren.”

Members of the General Assem-

bly clearly voiced their support for

a smoke-free Kentucky bill for the

2015 session last week that mirrors

previously failed legislation in 2014.

Denouncing the argument that a

smoke-free bill prohibiting smoking

in public places would kill business,

Brent Cooper, a business owner

from northern Kentucky, said not

only are businesses prospering

across the Ohio River in Cincinnati

with a smoke-free law, but that the

pubs in Ireland haven’t shut down

since the country put a ban on

smoking in the workplace 10 years

ago.Many legislators conferred that

public smoking was indefensible in

Kentucky given the state’s bad

health ratings compared to other

states throughout the U.S.

According to testimony from

Wayne Meriwether, CEO of Twin

Lakes Regional Medical Center,

second-hand smoke is just as dan-

gerous for those that don’t smoke.

The continued theft ofpersonal information byidentity thieves has ledthe Internal RevenueService to put in placetougher safeguards forthe 2016 tax filing season.

IRS CommissionerJohn Koskinen says, “Weneed the public’s help. Weneed people to join withus and take an active rolein protecting their per-sonal and financial datafrom thieves.”

The IRS says its clearincreasingly sophisti-cated identity thieves arebuying and selling exces-sive amounts of personalfinancial data on theblack market. They usethis data to file fraudu-lent tax returns usingvictims’ names and SocialSecurity numbers.

People like Sandie, ofCincinnati, who wrote me,“Identity issue with IRSholding up 2014 refundpayment that could be

used to-ward eyetransplantmedica-tions. Callsto IRSsince Mayto no avail,just extendrefunddate withanother

excuse.”It took eight months

and a lot of work with theIRS before Sandie got herrefund. That’s a littlelonger than usual becausethe IRS says the averagewait time to get thingscleared up is six months.

Then there’s Douglas,of Cincinnati, who wroteme, “My wife and I arebeing threatened by theIRS. Someone used mySocial Security number in2013 and owes the IRS.They filed their return inMarch of 2014 – we filedin April, 2014 and re-

ceived a notice that wehad filed twice.”

Douglas says mattersgot a lot worse recently.

“We received a certi-fied mail stating, ‘Noticeof intent to seize yourstate tax refund or otherproperty’ if we fail topay…We are shocked thatthe IRS can continue toharass us for debt thatwe’re not responsible for.They’ve never evenshown us the tax returnshowing that we owethem money for 2013. Asa matter of fact, our le-gitimate 2013 tax returnshows that they owe usfor that year.”

I put Douglas in touchwith the IRS tax advocatewho was able to sortthrough the fraud. He hasnow been credited for themoney he paid and re-ceived refund checks for2013 and 2014.

The IRS its importantto protect your personal

information by havingsecurity software on yourcomputers and beingaware of phony emailsand phone scams.

For the 2016 tax filingseason there will be newstandards for loggingonto all tax softwareproducts including mini-mum password require-ments, new security ques-

tions and standard lock-out features.

For the first time,refund fraud victims willbe able to request a copyof the fraudulent taxreturns filed by crookswho used their identities.

The IRS says therewill be partial or fullredaction of informationon those tax returns to

protect additional pos-sible victims.

However, it says, therewill be enough data forconsumers to determinehow their personal in-formation was used.
