IT’S COLLECTIONTIME

GREEN TWP. – MercyHealth – West Hospital is us-ing a new emergency protocolto help save lives and improveoutcomes for patients suffer-ing a heart attack.

The Green Township hospi-tal initiated a new procedure

for local firedepartmentsand emergencymedical ser-vice crews tofollow whenbringing heartattack patientsto the hospital.The goal is toreduce the

amount of time it takes to getpatients into the operatingroom to have blocked arteriesopened with a balloon or stent.

Area ambulance crews cannow, from the field or while intransit with a patient, call adedicated line at the hospitalto activate a heart attack alertnotifying the hospital’s cathlab team and emergency de-

partment to prepare for an in-coming heart attack patient.

“This is a really excitingproject,” said Dr. Anil Verma,a cardiovascular physicianwith Mercy Health’s Heart In-stitute who helped develop theprotocol.

“It’s a great service to thepatients. The faster you openthe artery, the better they do.”

He said it’s crucial to openblocked vessels causing aheart attack in less than 90minutes from the time the pa-

tient arrives at the hospital un-til the artery is opened. TheAmerican Heart Associationand the American College ofCardiology have establishedguidelines to decrease mor-bidity and mortality andstress “door to balloon times”are to be less than 90 minutes.

Though the West Side hos-pital has always performedwell in meeting the 90-minutestandard for treating heart at-tack patients, Verma said latelast year he started exploring

methods to improve thosetimes.

The hospital’s heart attackalert protocol has been inplace for about four months,and he said it was first used inDecember.

Mercy Health spokeswom-an Nanette Bentley said aWhitewater Township EMScrew was the first to activatethe alert from the field inearly December. The crewbrought in a man from Cleveswho was having a heart attack,and she said he was wheeledstraight into surgery, bypass-ing the emergency depart-ment.

From the time paramedicsarrived at the patient’s hometo the time the medical teamopened and stented theblocked artery was 21minutes– well below the national stan-dard, she said.

The patient was back homewithin 48 hours.

“I think it was a landmarkachievement for us on theWest Side,” Verma said, not-

The Ohio Department ofTransportation will spend $1.8million dollars this year on aproject to improve traffic sig-nals and some of that money iscoming to Colerain Township.

Sharon Smigielski, public in-formation officer ODOT Dis-trict 8, says the upgrades willvary; some intersections willget mast arms for the signalsrather than have them hangfrom wires, back plates to cutglare and make the signals easi-er to see will be installed, inter-sections will have one signal pertraveled lane of traffic and traf-fic controls such as turn arrowsand timing adjustments thatprotect drivers by extendinggreen lights in the dilemmazone.

Smigielski says the dilemmazone is the area close to an inter-section, also known as decisionzone, in which a driver decidesif he or she can stop safely dur-ing the yellow interval of thesignal or should proceedthrough the intersection beforethe beginning of red light. If thedriver stops abruptly in the yel-low light interval, there is a riskof a rear-end collision. If thedriver attempts to cross at theonset of the red light, there isalso a risk of accident. The im-

provement allows sensors to ex-tend the green light and avoidthe dilemma for the driver.

Intersections for improve-ment in Hamilton County in-clude Colerain Avenue and Gal-braith Road; Colerain Avenueand Colerain Crossing and Mc-Donald’s Restaurant, and Cole-rain Avenue and SpringdaleRoad.

Frank Birkenhauer, ColerainTownship assistant administra-tor and economic developmentdirector welcomes the projects.

“These projects are good forthe township,” Birkenhauersaid. “The signals we are get-ting will be technologically ad-

vanced, state-of-the-art sys-tems at some of the most heavi-ly traveled intersections inHamilton County. It improvesthe safety of our residents andothers who travel through thetownship.”

Smigielski said other Hamil-ton County intersections thatcould be part of the project in-clude the intersections of Ken-wood Road and the exit rampfrom northbound I-71; Bridge-town Road and Virginia Court,

and Hamilton-Cleves Road andHarrison Road.

The proposed project isscheduled to go out to bid inJune, and construction is antici-pated to start in July and finishin January, Smigielski said.

ing Mercy Health – WestHospital is one of only acouple area hospitals us-ing a heart attack alertprogram.

“It saved a great deal oftime. During an acuteheart attack, the clockstarts ticking immediate-ly.”

He said as part of theprotocol, ambulance

squads also transmit thepatient’s electrocardio-gram, or EKG, directly tothe hospital while they areen route. The informationfrom the EKG lets staff inthe cath lab know exactlyhow to treat the patient sothe medical team can beprepared when the pa-tient arrives, he said.

“This is a great pro-gram for the West Side,”Bentley said. “It’s just an-other advantage of havingWest Hospital there andgetting people treated

quickly and with the bestcare.”

She said all area firedepartments and emer-gency medical serviceteams have been notifiedof the alert system andsent the protocol for acti-vation.

Since beginning theprogram, she said threesquads have initiated it.One or two others have at-tempted it, but the pa-tients had to stop in theemergency room first dueto their condition.

It also gave students the op-portunity to reflect on currentissues in our world like massgenocide, refugees fleeing war-torn countries, and social injus-tices. They were then able to re-flect on how Jesus calls us totreat our brothers and sisterswith love and compassion.

MARCH 30, 2016 • NORTHWEST PRESS • 7ANEWS

Gosh, I don’t think I’ve ever had somuch chickweed growing in my herbgarden. Not a bad thing, since it’s ed-ible and a wonderful plant source ofvitamins and plant protein.

I’ll put some in our spring salads,and also give lots to the girls/chickens.After a winter weary diet, chickweedis a treat for them. The name comesfrom the fact that chickens love it. Yes,it’s considered a weed by lots of folks,but not by me.

Anyway, after I hoed and tilled both theveggie and herb gardens, I worked up an appe-tite for a healthy main dish. I couldn’t do bet-

ter than Susan Parker’s brown basmatirice dish.

I smile when I hear chefs mention thelatest buzzwords in the food world:“clean food.”

Well, Susan coined that phrase manyyears ago. A mentor and icon in thehealth food and supplement arena, Susanreally “walks the talk”.

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist,educator, Jungle Jim’s Eastgate culinaryprofessional and author. Find her blog

online at Abouteating.com. Email her [email protected] with “Rita’s kitch-en” in the subject line.

Susan’s brown basmati rice with curry and edamame

This can be a side or main dish. If you like, augment with chicken,seafood, or firm tofu. Stir in when you add the rice. Susan is proprietor ofSusan’s Natural World in Anderson Township and her vegetarian recipes arealways bursting with flavor and nutrition.

Brown rice is nutritionally superior to white, and edamame (green soybeans) contains vitamins, calcium, iron, protein and fiber.

1-1/2 cups Basmati or Jasmine brown rice2 teaspoons garlic, minced1 small onion, chopped, about a cup or soCurry powder to taste: start with 1 teaspoonBroth - use as much as rice package directions require2 cups shelled edamame, steamed and set asideChopped parsley for garnishSalt and pepper to taste

Film pan with olive oil. Cook onions, garlic and curry powder for acouple of minutes, until onions start to soften. Stir in rice and broth. Bringto a boil. Lower to a simmer, cover and cook 30-40 minutes or until rice iscooked. Stir in steamed edamame and garnish with parsley.

Tip from RitaThe yellow color of curry powder comes from turmeric, a superstar

anti-inflammatory spice.Substitute frozen peas for the edamame.

Karen E.’s Danish dumplings

Remember the reader who wanted the rolled dumpling soup recipelike McAlister’s? After a couple of attempts to see if the restaurant wouldshare the recipe, I gave up. But Karen wanted to share her mom’s dumplingrecipe. Here’s what Karen told me: “I do not necessarily have a flat dump-ling recipe. However, it may depend on how you drop them in the boilingbroth. I had to make dumplings last night because you made me hungry forthem. This recipe came from my mother's book. You can figure out how toadd the broth and chicken to this recipe.” Karen also told me her familyused Sapphire unbleached flour which you can’t get here, so I would subKing Arthur all purpose flour.

1/2 cup butter or margarine1 cup milk1 cup all-purpose flour unbleached flour1/4 teaspoon salt4 eggs

Place butter and milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add flour andsalt all at once. Stir quickly until dough loosens from side of pan. Removefrom stove and allow dough to cool slightly. Add eggs one at a time andbeat well after each addition. Drop by teaspoon into boiling broth. Cookover low flame until dumplings float on top – about 10 minutes. The dump-lings puff up.

Karen also said: “One half of the foregoing recipe is enough for thefirst try. Diluted creamed chicken soup may be substituted for regular brothwith rather good results.”

Published by Tower Press Inc. "Women's Circle Cookbook" 1971Tip from RitaThis recipe is very similar to cream puff dough, except that you bake

the dough instead of making dumplings.

March 23 questionWho is your all-time favorite

Cincinnati Red (or other baseballplayer)? What makes them your fa-vorite?

“Red Schoendienst. BecauseI’m old and never watch baseballlike I did as a child.”

D.B.

“My all-time favorite Redsplayer is Pete Rose, on the fieldanyway. My all-time favoritebaseball players, however, areMickey Mantle and Ken GriffeyJr. with Seattle. They were boththe best for 10 or so years then in-juries robbed them of evengreater statistics. I was delightedGriffey Jr. got in the Hall ofFame with the highest vote per-centage of all time. Pete couldhave had a similar Hall of Famevote percentage but for his bet-ting on baseball. ”

T.D.T.

“Over the years the CincinnatiReds have had many great play-ers, but to get them into a Hall ofFame, even a personal one,would be rather ludicrous. Somany players have been blessedto play the game, so perhaps abetter question would be ‘havethey made a commitment to Je-sus Christ so that they can getinto God's Hall of Fame ?’

Community Press askedreaders to share Opening Dayand Reds memories:

“I’ve attended every Open-ing Day since 1994 when Istarted going in college atXavier University. My friendsand I used to cut class and godowntown to watch the pa-rade, stopping at Caddy’s,Flannagan’s and Second StreetSaloon on the way to the stadi-um before the flood of 1997closed those places down.

“After graduating in 1997,I’ve continued to attend, al-ways taking the first Mondayin April off for a vacation dayas Opening Day is considereda ‘High Holy Day’ in myhousehold. I’ve attended withfriends, my brother, my sisterand my husband.

“We’ve seen winners andlosers. We went through bothinclement and beautifulweather; it didn’t matter.Opening Day is an awesomeexcuse to ‘play hooky’ andcelebrate baseball in Cincin-nati, home of the oldest teamin MLB, my beloved Redlegs.I was at the final Opening Dayat Riverfront Stadium and thefirst Opening Day at GreatAmerican Ball Park. I was atthe game when umpire JohnMcSherry died, a tragic eventthat left the entire stadiumsomber. We didn’t know thedetails of what happened untilwe heard it later on the news.

“ I joined the Rosie Redsand attend many games eachyear, but Opening Day is al-ways the most special of theseason. It’s a magical day, andthe promise of spring fills theair. The parade is so muchfun, but being in the stadiumto see the Reds open theirseason is simply awesome. It’smy favorite day of the yearand I encourage everyone togo if you haven’t been. There’sno other city that compares toCincinnati for Opening Day.”

Kathy Bach, WestwoodRuss Hohnroth was a ju-

nior at Western Hills HighSchool in 1954 when he andsome of his friends joined theUsher’s Union to work atCrosley Field. He had landeda dream job – getting paid tosee his favorite team playball.

The dream was short livedwhen soon after he was hired,he was transferred to the

scoreboard, a four-story con-trol center that kept everyoneup to date on the statistics ofthe game. While his bestfriend Bill Bertsch sat in thepress box between Waite Hoytand Jack Moran pushing theelectronic button for strikes,balls and outs, Russ watchedthe game through a window inthe scoreboard, eyeing theumpire and reading a tickertape to determine his nextmove.

When a scoreboard numberneeded to change (runs, play-er average, inning changeetc...) he would climb a ladderfrom one floor to the next,navigating through a hole inthe ceiling of each floor. Onthe third floor, Russ and hisco-workers used clothes polesto change the numbers on theboard. Throughout the game,he and his fellow “statisticalengineers,” as they affection-ately called themselves, couldhear the crowd rejoicing injubilation or at times, moan-ing in disagreement but couldonly imagine what the noisewas about. Not exactly whathe signed up for, but his hardwork earned him $7 a singlegame and $12 for a double-header. Not bad for the times!

Built in 1912 to replace ThePalace of the Fans baseballstadium, Crosley was a Cin-cinnati gem for decades! ForRuss it was a place of manymemorable and cherishedmoments. Peanut Jim Sheltonwas a fixture at each game,standing outside the stadiumin his tux and top hat, sellingfresh hot roasted peanuts.There was the ever popularsun and moon deck where

fans could enjoy the game forjust 75 cents and have a primespot for catching a fly ball.

Russ remembers the Open-ing Days when chairs wereadded on the field to accom-modate the fans who exceed-ed the 28,000 seats in thestands. He speaks fondly oftimes that he brought lemon-ade to player Art Shamsky ona hot summer day only to bethanked with an official Redsbaseball in return. Hechuckles as he recalls thenight game that made clubhistory, Reds vs. the San Fran-cisco Giants, playing 21 in-nings and lasting till 3 a.m.(Reds lost 1-0.)

Needless to say, in thoseearly years, the scoreboardbuilding was not climate con-trolled. One April game nightwas so cold that Russ and hisco-workers decided to build asmall fire on the ground floorto keep warm. Soon after thefire was lit, flames were seencoming from the bottom ofthe scoreboard. It didn’t takelong for the staff to extinguishthe fire before it got out ofhand, but it did delay thegame and became the talk ofthe town!

Occasionally, Russ workedthe press gate, the section ofthe stadium where players’wives, police and fire person-nel, priests and other digni-fied guests would gather. Itwas here that he had his mostmemorable experience atCrosley Field. During the 1956season, Russ’ friend PeteGray asked if he could getseats for himself, his date andanother couple. Russ was ableto comply with four box seatsand when the guests arrived,he met and introduced him-self to the double daters. MissNancy Carter caught his eyeand with permission of herfriend and escort for the eve-ning, Russ later got her phonenumber. He asked her out ontheir first date and the rest ishistory. Fifty Seven yearslater, these two are still anunbeatable team.

Russ worked at Crosleyfrom 1954 to 1957, left for astint in the army and returnedin 1959. When the team movedto the newly built RiverfrontStadium in 1970, a new rulingdictated that employees hadto live within the city limitsand Russ was no longer eligi-ble to work for the Reds.

For those who have experi-enced the loss of a loved oneto a terminal illness, you arewell aware of the agony thatcan envelop the entire family.The patient often finds them-selves praying for a treatmentthat will simply subdue theirpain, while family membersfervently pray for a cure.

In the midst of the struggleto deal with a prognosis, manyturn to research potentiallife-saving solutions. Theresult of this search oftenleads to the discovery of apromising FDA clinical trial.At the root of an FDA trial isthe possibility for hope. How-ever, the unfortunate realityis that the acceptance rate

into thesetrials is mini-mal, and theamount oftime for atreatment togain FDAapproval canoutlast a ter-minal progno-sis.

I believethat these

patients and families shouldbe able to try a prospectivecure or treatment, with thesupport of their physician, ifthey so choose. For that rea-son, I was proud to co-sponsorHouse Bill 290, “Right to Try”legislation that will allow

terminally ill Ohioans to ex-periment with a medication ortreatment that is currentlyundergoing FDA clinical test-ing.

It is important to note thatHB 290 does not aim to un-dermine the necessity andintegrity of the FDA process.If passed by the Ohio Senate,HB 290 stipulates that thecourse of treatment that isbeing tested must have al-ready passed phase one of theFDA clinical trial process.

Furthermore, the patientcan only access the experi-mental medication with theapproval of their doctor. Afterexhausting all physician-rec-ommended treatment options

with little or no success, HB290 will allow terminally illpatients to access an investi-gational drug.

The American Cancer Soci-ety anticipates an estimated1,685,210 new cancer casesand 595,690 cancer deaths inthe US in 2016. For these thou-sands of individuals, and themany more who will sufferfrom other terminal illnesses,we must not deny them theone thing they cling to: hope.

Motivation is easy for RogerBacon’s softball team. In eachof the previous three seasons,the Spartans have improved in-crementally each year.

Now in his fourth season ashead coach, Chuck Linder sawhis Spartans go 9-17 in 2013, hisfirst season, then 12-11 the yearafter, and 17-7 last season.

If that pattern holds, RogerBacon can expect another greatseason with seven returningstarters back from last year’s17-7 team that finished secondin the Greater Catholic LeagueCo-Ed Central.

Leading the charge is seniorpitcher Ashton Lindner, who’salready the school record hold-er for strikeouts and the reign-ing GCL Co-ed Central player ofthe year. Last year, Lindner didit all; at the plate, she led theSpartans with a .538 average, 43RBI, five home runs, 42 hits and31 runs scored; on the mound,she went 17-6 with 172 strike-outs in 145.1innings, seven shut-outs and a 2.22 ERA.

Senior Katie Perry also re-turns after hitting .425 with 26RBI and a team-high 22 stolenbases last season. Other return-ing starters include senior Ma-randa Gullette, senior catcherBrittany Jurger, who hit .367last year, junior third basemanAlly Woeste, sophomore firstbaseman Harmonie Kugele andsophomore Madalyn Gullette.

“As a team they have workedhard the past three years tochange this program around,”said Lindner. “Since I have tak-en over each year these girlshave stepped up to all the chal-lenges that have been put infront of them.

“Hard work and determina-tion is what drives (them).”

After opening the seasonwith a doubleheader at Finney-town March 26, the Spartansvisit Deer Park on March 31,then travel to CHCA on April 1and Madeira on April 2. RogerBacon’s home opener is April 4against Chaminade Julienne.

ColerainColerain’s softball took a big

step in the right direction lastseason. The Cardinals wentfrom just four wins two yearsago to finish 10-16 last seasonand 7-11 in the Greater MiamiConference.

Last year was coach EmilySchwaeble’s first season. Thisyear, Schwaeble has seven re-turning starters and the conti-nuity should pay off.

Returning to the startinglineup are senior catcher LoganDavis, senior third baseman An-gel Ehrenschwender, senioroutfielder Caitlin Seiler, seniorcenterfielder Camryn Huber,junior pitcher Brittany Smith,sophomore outfielder BayleeHobeika and senior secondbaseman Aubree Hacker.

Smith, the ace of the staff,also hit .377 with 15 RBI last sea-son. Ehrenschwender hit .354with 22 RBI. Davis, Huber andHobeika all proved they candrive in runs last season withthe three combining for 48 RBI.

Schwaeble also said fresh-man first baseman Hayley Rob-erts has been impressive earlyon.

“I love that we have a lot ofreturning players and a groupof girls who get along reallywell,” said Schwaeble. “Theysee themselves as a family andnot only do they get along great,they also play well for one an-other. This group also prides it-self on being good students and

we even have a few of our sen-iors that rank in the top-50 of thesenior class, one of them beingNo. 1 (Ehrenschwender).”

After opening GMC playwith a visit from PrincetonMarch 29, the Cardinals trav-eled to South Dearborn March30 and then visited AmeliaMarch 31. Colerain plays host toHamilton (April 5), Sycamore(April 6) and Fairfield (April 7).

NorthwestAfter enjoying some success

last season, coach Deb Fieldsand the Northwest Knights arelooking to carry it over into thisseason.

The Knights will have six re-turning starters and eight totalreturning varsity players.Among them is Alaina Maddy, afirst-team all-city selection in2015.

Maddy was first-team all-Southwest Ohio Conference,went 14-9 in 26 games pitchedand led the SWOC in strikeoutswith 144. At the plate, she hit.532 with four home runs and 29RBI.

Joining her as returningstarters are Ashley Carroll, Ky-lie Hiser, Jaycie Russell, Har-leigh Warren and BrittanyBrown.

Hiser was a second-team all-SWOC selection.

“Our young team last seasonproved it was ready and had agreat year,” Fields said. “We arelooking to continue building onour success and added a fewmore players who are going tomake an impact right away thisseason.”

McAuleyMcAuley’s softball team did

little wrong last year with an18-4 overall record and a per-fect 10-0 to capture the GirlsGreater Catholic League cham-pionship, but the season endedon a low note in a gut-wrenchingone-run walk-off loss in a sec-tional final to Kings.

“I like their sense of confi-dence,” said 14th-year coachKaren Wiesman, who enters theyear with 199 career wins. “I’mhoping that they got that taste of— we got that far (sectional fi-nal) and could have put a littlemore effort in; we lost in theseventh inning by one run …(so) what can we do now to getthat next level?”

The Mohawks have two sen-iors and five juniors returningto starting positions, which isprobably why McAuley’sranked No. 6 in The Enquirer

Division I preseason coaches’poll.

Senior pitcher AubreyBrunst, a University of North-western Ohio signee, is one ofthe best pitchers to ever don aMohawks jersey. Brunst, thereigning GGCL player of theyear, is a four-year starter who’s“pretty much pitched just aboutevery game she’s played,” Wies-man said. Last season Brunstwent 17-3 with 105 strikeoutsand a 1.79 ERA.

Senior center fielder AvaLawson is the only other senioron the roster and is committedto Northern Kentucky Univer-sity as a preferred walk-on, perWiesman. Lawson hit a team-high .439 last season with 16RBI, 13 stolen bases and a .538on-base percentage.

Junior catcher KathrynRost, whom Wiesman said canbasically play every position onthe field but pitcher, hit .403with 15 RBI last year. Juniorshortstop Britney Bonno hit .419with a team-leading 31 hits lastseason, and junior third base-man Annabel Thies hit .338. Ju-nior Jada Thompson takes overfull-time at first base, and ju-nior catcher/designated hitter

MONFORT HEIGHTS– Gene Williams movesfrom assistant coach tohead coach this season tolead an experienced LaSalle volleyball team com-ing off a 10-13 season.

Not only will the Lanc-ers be experienced, theyalso have a stockpile ofleadership, and they’remotivated to competewith their three GreaterCatholic League Southcounterparts. La Sallehasn’t defeated a GCLSouth opponent since2011, according to the con-ference.

Williams said, “Wehave two experiencedseniors and we are loadedwith juniors with a lot ofvarsity experience. All ofthem are hungry to beatone of the other threepowerhouses: St. X, Elderor Moeller.”

La Salle plays eachconference opponentthree times. Williams saidthe Lancers are wellaware of the challenge infacing three of the state’sperennial contenders insix matches, but they’realso excited and motivat-ed by the opportunity.

Seniors Timmer Koe-nig and Anthony Martini,a 6-foot-4 middle hitter,are in charge. They’rejoined by returning juniorstarters Jake Kroger,Hayden Wood, a 6-2 left-handed right side hitter,Alex Williams, a libero,Derek DeMaison and WillGoldschmidt, a 6-1 middlehitter.

La Salle opens confer-ence play as host to ElderApril 1and travels to St. Xon April 8.

St. XavierSt. Xavier volleyball

looks mighty again afteranother outstanding sea-son last year. The Bomb-ers went 19-2 last seasonand won the GreaterCatholic League South(6-1), but they’ll have to re-place the GCL South play-er of the year, Nick Talbot,and first-teamer PatrickBeer, who both graduated.

St. X returns threestarters in senior outsidehitter Evan Bretl, whowas second-team all-GCLSouth last season, alongwith junior setter/defen-sive specialist Cole Bretland junior libero/defen-sive specialist Conor Lov-ell.

Coach Bill Ferris, nowin his 16th season coach-ing the Bombers, will lookfor senior Lee Yates tohelp Evan Bretl contrib-ute at the net. Ferris alsoexpects seniors MatthewHildebrandt, an outsidehitter, and Brad York, aright side hitter, to take onheavy roles in the leader-ship department on andoff the court.

“Looking forward togetting back in the saddleafter a disappointing statetourney result last year,”Ferris said. “We transi-tion from a very senior-heavy look last year to ayear where we’ll haveeven distribution fromseniors, juniors and likelya couple of sophomorestoo.”

Ferris said his team islooking forward to the an-nual gauntlet that is theGCL South.

The Bombers open theseason with four straightat home against La Salleon April 8, Centerville onApril 12, Elder on April 15and Walsh Jesuit April 16.

Roger BaconRoger Bacon volley-

ball finished second in theGreater Catholic LeagueCo-ed and earned a Divi-sion II state semifinalberth last season, but ifthey hope to have anothersuccessful year they’llhave to replace four all-conference players andmost of its production lostto graduation.

Annie Kathman washired to replace coachAdam Goller, but Kath-

man recently gave birthso she turned the reinsover to Chris Newton, whosaid she previouslycoached the boys from2000-2006.

The Spartans returnfour players with experi-ence from last season insenior libero/all-aroundHunter Jones, junior NickBeck, and seniors JaredHilling and Jared Majanc-sik. Junior Will Alanderwill also be a big helpfrom his middle hitter po-sition.

Newton said althoughmost of her team didn’tsee much varsity time lastyear, she’s hoping many ofthe junior varsity playerscan move into varsityroles and help carve outsome wins.

“I think the one plusthey have is they all

played as a core group lastyear and they’re just mov-ing along into their senioryear,” said Newton.“There’s a lot of versatili-ty to that. Myself being anew coach and not know-ing any of these players,I’m bringing a little differ-ent swing to the game.Some guys are used toplaying different posi-

tions and now they’refinding themselves in dif-ferent roles.”

Newton also said she’s“waiting for someone tostep up and be a leader.”

Roger Bacon opens onthe road at McNicholasApril 5, then at Alter April6. The Spartans homeopener is April 8 againstPurcell Marian.

He sees a bustling na-ture center.

Sisson envisions chil-dren at interactive dis-plays, learning about theplants and animals ofHamilton County's hillsand river valley. Environ-mentalists holding a dis-cussion about globalwarming. A group of hik-ers stopping in to pick uptrail maps.

Out the window, the re-tired mechanical engi-neer imagines a familygobbling down lunch at apicnic area or heading upa hillside trail behind thecenter, where they'll berewarded with a scenicview of the Ohio River.

If all goes as planned,this vision – the Kirby Na-ture Center and Preserve– will become a reality bysummer 2016, said Sisson,president of the WesternWildlife Corridor, a non-profit formed more than20 years ago, which in thelast several years hascome into its own.

Today, the organizationowns nearly 300 acres ofland, roughly 227 footballfields in size. The proper-ties stretch west fromCincinnati toward the In-diana border and includethree hikeable nature pre-serves open and free toall.

What sets the corridorapart from other naturalareas in the region is anear absence of invasivealien plants.

Every week volunteerswith the organizationspray, hack and yank outforeign invaders like hon-eysuckle, garlic mustard

and winter creeper thathave infiltrated the re-gion's forests.

The result: Naturalspaces as they once were,aired out but not empty.

Room for paw paws,buckeyes, wildflowersand other species, chokedout elsewhere, to stand inthe sun.

"It’s just amazing howthe native plants havecome back," said DenisConover, a botanist andprofessor of biology at theUniversity of Cincinnati."I wish I lived closer, I’d bespending a lot of time outthere."

Like beforeThe wooded hillsides

along the Ohio River inwestern Hamilton Countywere heavily logged in theearly 1800s. Old growthoaks and maples werehauled down to riversidelandings where steam-boat crews brought themaboard to continue on

their river journey."Pretty amazing to

think that those big beau-tiful trees were justburned," Sisson said. "Butthat’s what they did."

Still, many of the treesthat grew in their placeare mature today, somemore than 100 years old.As long as the WesternWildlife Corridor isaround, Sisson said,they'll be protected.

Back in 1988, a naturalcorridor preserved alongthe West Side was a gleamin the eye of Imago , agrassroots environmentaleducation organizationbased in East Price Hill.

Imago, which operatesa 16-acre Earth Center atthe Enright Ridge Eco-vil-lage, began "looking upand down the valley,thinking it would be niceto protect more," said Sis-son, who joined the West-ern Wildlife Corridor or-ganization in the early2000s.

Imago created a com-mittee in 1988, whichmorphed into an indepen-dent nonprofit in 1992, Sis-son said.

Today, the WesternWildlife Corridor hasclose to 400 members,each paying at least a $25membership fee.

Most are West Siders,but there is a scattering ofmembers around thecountry.

Sisson, a Delhi Town-ship resident, believes thegroup's work will neverreally be done.

The vision is to cobbletogether an uninterrupt-ed natural corridor fromMill Creek to Oxbow, thelatter a public land trustprotecting wetlands at thearea where the Great Mi-ami River meets the OhioRiver near Lawrence-burg, Indiana.

Some barriers likelywill never be crossed, likea residential and businesscorridor in North Bend,Sisson said, but the or-ganization will keep at it.

"I would really be sur-prised if even in 100 years

it would all be protected,"Sisson said. "But I thinkwe can protect some real-ly nice nuclei. Where visi-tors can see what thewoods were like, enjoy it,use it to educate."

Group gains trustThere's a lot of learn-

ing already going on alongthe corridor.

UC Professor Conovertakes his biology studentsto Bender Mountain,Western Wildlife Corri-dor's largest and mosteasily accessible proper-ty, often.

In Conover's opinion,the property off of Bend-er Road in Delhi Townshipis the region's best exam-ple of what native forestsprobably looked likearound here before glob-alization sped up the inva-sion of nonnative plants inAmerica.

Volunteers have neverreplanted anything at thecorridor's preserves, Sis-son said.

Native seeds and bulbsremained in the soil, wait-ing for the chance to grow.

Visitors literally cansee the difference.

Stand at the boundaryline of a Western Wildlifeproperty and the forestfloor is visible on the pre-serve side. On the otherside is a wall of honey-suckle.

When Sisson trompsaround the properties hecarries a little squirt bot-tle of herbicide and prun-ers, always at the ready.He sometimes thinks ofhis childhood home in Ad-dyston, just a half a milefrom the Kirby propertyand future nature center.

When he was 9, hewould ride his browngelding horse, Dynamite,through those hills. Itmakes him very happy toknow that they will be pre-served, as will part of hisparents' property, whichthey donated to the non-profit years ago.

Several others havedone the same, includingGrant Kirby, who donated

the 30-acre nature centerproperty, including thehouse.

Sitting in the littlehouse, Sisson points outwhere a Girl Scout troophas agreed to help install apicture window. Beyondthe glass there are plans

for a bird bath, birdhouses and feeders. Hehopes a native prairie willbegin to grow once theyclean up the western yard.

He imagines the naturecenter will be open everyday.
