EAST PRICE HILL — VelocityChurch has found a permanenthome here on McPherson Ave-nue.

The church, founded in Oc-tober 2012, relocated to EastPrice Hill from Green Town-ship at the start of the new yearin January.

Velocity Church, which hadconducted Sunday services fortwo years at J.F. Dulles Ele-mentary School, now has an of-fice and hosts services in theold German Protestant churchat 931 McPherson Ave.

The church on McPhersondates back to 1886 and is nowowned by BLOC Ministries.

“When we were meeting atthe school we were a portablechurch. We would get thereearly on Sunday mornings be-fore service to set up and thenpack everything up after ser-vice,” Velocity Church’s LeadPastor Steven Staton said.

“We started looking for apermanent location last year;

somewhere we could put astake in the ground.”

He said he and church lead-ers looked all over the WestSide for a permanent home, butdoors just weren’t opening.

“We were starting to getfrustrated,” he said.

Staton said the frustrationended when he was introducedto Dwight Young, founder anddirector of BLOC Ministries,who was looking for a churchto host services at the minis-try’s McPherson location.

“Dwight said he had achurch building that needed achurch in it,” Staton said. “Wewere both looking for some-thing at the same time. It wasthis beautiful collision.”

Having a permanent homeallows Velocity Church to helppeople throughout the week,not just on Sundays, he said.They are working to set up Bi-ble study sessions and assist-ing BLOC Ministries withsome of the weekly programsit runs at the church, he said.

“Making the playground ac-cessible for all the kids like myson has been my dream sincethe day we toured the schoolwhen he was in kindergarten,”Oakdale parent Becky Meyersaid in a press release.

“It means that they can bepart of something as basic asplay. There are so many limitsin the world for these children,and the playground should notbe one of them.”

for the new playground. TheOak Hills Alumni & Education-al Foundation has raised $2,000for the project so far.

The entire Oakdale teachingstaff supports the project andhas already contributed to thecause. The fundraising teamhas also applied for $75,000 ingrant funding, with more op-portunities on the list.

flooring instead of flat sur-faces to roll wheelchairs,as well as play structureswhich are not accessible,students who typically arewelcomed and includedare unable join their peerson the existing play-ground at recess.

As it stands, the struc-tures are not accessiblefor students with a varietyof disabilities, includingthose who use braces,walkers or wheelchairs. Infact, only one swing com-patible for wheelchairsexists – one item for sixstudents to share during a30-minute recess.

“It’s time to changethat, so that all of our stu-dents can enjoy time to-gether at recess,” Oakdaleintervention specialist Mi-chelle Boeshart said.

The new Scottie Yardplayground will create anenvironment for childrento develop gross motorskills such as musclestrength and balance. Itwill also allow children todevelop mobility skillslike walking, using awheelchair, walker, brac-es or standers to maneu-

ver and interact with theenvironment. Childrenwill develop strongercommunication and socialskills by interacting withpeers in a safe, non-aca-demic setting.

“Outdoor play is so im-portant to all children, andan accessible playgroundwould offer that opportu-nity to children like mydaughter,” Oakdale parentCatie Singer said.

The plans for the newplayground includepoured-in-place rubberflooring, an inclusive playstructure with ramp en-trance, a variety of slides,climbing structures andinteractive equipment, in-cluding a freestandingmusical feature and inclu-sive swings.

“By gaining an inclu-

sive playground, Oakdalecan be an even better re-source to not only theirstudents, but the commu-nity as a whole,” Oakdaleparent Joey Costa said.

Boeshart said she isprivileged to work at Oak-dale.

“We have wonderfulstudents and a greatschool community,” shesaid. “Our goal with theScottie Yard playground isto create a truly accessi-ble environment so that allstudents can play togetherin a safe and inclusive en-vironment.”

Oakdale PrincipalGeoff Harold added, “Weare a family at Oakdale El-ementary. All of our stu-dents have individualneeds and unique talents.The completion of the

Scottie Yard playgroundwill not only make the fa-cility accessible to all stu-dents, it will provide addi-tional opportunities forour children to share theirunique gifts with each oth-er.”

Oak Hills Board of Edu-cation President JulieMurphy said the play-ground project is an exam-ple of the communityworking together to en-sure a positive education-al experience for all stu-dents in the school dis-trict.

“Using grant funds anddonations from parentsand community partners,the committed Oakdaleproject leadership teamwill make recess accessi-ble for all our elementarystudents,” she said.

FEBRUARY 18, 2015 • WESTERN HILLS PRESS • A7NEWS

Have you everdone this: you buymore meat than youcan use because it’son sale. Sometimesyou remember tofreeze it, sometimesyou don’t.

If that soundslike you, we’re onthe same wave-length.

Last week I bought morechicken breasts than we neededfor dinner. I made chicken noo-dle soup out of some of them andintended to freeze the rest. Be-cause they were hidden out ofsight in the meat bin, I forgotabout them.

When they surfaced severaldays later, the chicken was stillgood enough to eat, but it neededto be cooked right away.

I had a meeting that eveningand couldn’t fuss with a recipethat took too much time or wascomplicated. This no fuss, quickrecipe was just right.

Really good tasting, too.

Use that extra frozen chicken,cleanse with kale salad

Moist and marvelous Parmesan chickenbreasts

1/2 cup real mayonnaise1/4 cup Parmesan or Romano cheeseFew grindings black pepper2 large or 4 smaller skinless, boneless breasts1/3 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs - see Rita’s tip

Preheat oven to 425. Blend mayo and cheese. Put chickenon sprayed cookie sheet. Smear topping on. Sprinkle withcrumbs. Bake 20 minutes or until juices run clear in centerwhen poked with a knife, about 160 internal temperature.Residual heat will continue to cook the chicken even after it’sout of the oven, raising temperature 5 degrees or so. Don’tover bake or chicken will be dry.

Tip: homemade Italian bread crumbs. I had plain crumbsso I stirred in a couple shakes of Italian seasoning.

Annie’s Kale Salad - a cleansing saladMy niece, Annie, brought this salad to our house as a side

dish for dinner. Annie used regular curly kale. We grow Lac-inato/Tuscan kale, which, to my taste, is milder in flavor. Allkales are nutritious with anti-cancer properties: a cup providesmore than 100 percent of the daily value of vitamins K and A,and over 80 percent of vitamin C.

Salad:

1 bunch kale torn into small pieces1-2 tablespoon olive oil1 Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced1/4 cup dried cranberries1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted, or bit more

Dressing:Go to taste on this, adding more of any ingredient if you

want.

1 tablespoon fresh ginger juice - see Rita's tip2-3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar1 teaspoon Dijon mustard2 teaspoons honey1/4 cup olive oilFreshly ground pepper and salt

Whisk together ginger juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijonand honey. Whisk in oil and season to taste. Set aside.

Meanwhile, place kale in bowl and season with salt, pep-per and olive oil. Massage well with hands - this breaks downcellular structure, making it tenderer.

Add in apple, berries and nuts. Toss with dressing to coat.You can make this hours ahead.

Toasting pine nuts: Best done in dry non-stick skillet overlow heat until golden.

Making ginger juice: Grate ginger and squeeze out juice.Or place pieces in garlic press and squeeze out juice. This is the“hardest” part of the recipe since it takes some time. I like tofreeze my ginger root, grate it frozen, and proceed.

Tip: Ginger paste option. Try using a teaspoon or more ofginger paste. Easier by far and a good keeper in the frig.

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

This quick parmesan chicken recipe is an easy way to use extra frozen meat in a jiffy.

WESTERN HILLSPRESSEditor: Richard Maloney, [email protected], 248-7134

When planning for retire-ment, we need to not only con-sider our income, but also ex-penses over a retirement thatcould last as long as 30 years.Retirement for baby boomersand beyond includes a futurewhere two of the most criticalaspects of retirement planning– our health and longevity –remain unknowable.

The “health care side” ofretirement – costs, need andaccessibility to health care forourselves or loved ones – can beone of the most significantfactors in the planning process.

Health care spending has faroutpaced inflation over the pastdecade. Health care costs haverisen close to six percent annu-ally, while core inflation hasrisen about 2.5 percent, accord-ing to a U.S. Bureau of Labor

Statistics In-flation RateStudy, 2003-2012. Clearly,when some-thing in ourgrocery basketof life risesthree times thelevel as otherpurchases, itbegs attention.

When plan-ning for health

care costs in retirement, firstconsider cash flow– monthlyincome versus expenditures.This will vary person to person,from family to family. So, let’swork backwards, looking firstat health care expenses.

A 2013 report by the Employ-ee Benefits Research Institutesuggests that a 65-year-old

retired couple will need to fund$255,000 to $360,000 in Medi-care premiums alone (includingMedigap). Medicare, in fact,covers only about 62 percent ofmedical costs.

It’s important to rememberthat Medicare does not coverlong-term health care. Onlywhen you run out of dollarsdoes Medicaid step in to fill thatgap.

This means that costs forin-home health care and nurs-ing homes have to be coveredby other sources – our own, ourchildren’s resources, a long-term care insurance policy, or acombination of the above.

Here are some questions toconsider when planning for aretirement that covers long-term health care costs:

» Will you have all the sav-

ings and assets on hand at re-tirement to cover all or most ofyour projected health carecosts?

» Are you and/or your spousein reasonably good health nowand does your family have atrack record of living into their80s or 90s?

» Will you work during anystage of retirement and earnmoney?

» Do you know when youwant to start taking Social Secu-rity, and why?

» What do you project will beyour annual income and ex-penses during retirement, andhave you factored in the need toincrease your annual incomebeyond inflation to addresspotentially higher health carecosts?

» If you need long-term care,

have you factored in what thoseneeds and costs might be?

» Do you have an under-standing of various types oflong-term care insurance pol-icies, how they can be funded,what they provide, and for howlong?

Consulting financial and taxadvisors as part of retirementplanning is essential to get thehealth care piece covered. En-joying truly golden retirementyears means different things todifferent people, but it shouldinclude planning for long-termhealth care now so we obtainthe end-of-life care we desire.

Feb. 11 questionShould parents have the

right to decide whether to havetheir school-age children vacci-nated, and if they decide not to,should the children be permit-ted to attend school? Why orwhy not?

“I believe that parents havethe right to decide on anyaspect of their children’s lives.However, when those deci-sions have ramifications ofplacing the larger communityof children at risk for sicknessor disease I do not believethose children should be per-mitted to attend a public orprivate school. Those childrencan still receive their educa-tion through home schooling,the hiring of tutors (who areaware of the risks).

“We have come such a longway in eradicating diseases inthe past that were debilitatingor life threatening. There is noreason to regress and exposechildren to these illnesseswhen proven vaccines areavailable.”

C.S.

“Those around during thepolio, tuberculosis (earliersmall pox) and other healththreats were brought up toadhere to vaccinations. TheMMR (measles mumps andrubella) has basically eradi-cated these maladies. There issome concern (still unproven)that certain vaccinations canhave side effects such as au-tism. I favor the requiredvaccinations to allow kids intoschools. Those who do notchose this vaccination pathcan always home-school theirkids.”

T.D.T.

Feb. 4 questionThe governors of Ohio and

Kentucky announced a newplan to help pay for a newBrent-Spence Bridge, whichincludes a 50 percent toll dis-count for daily users. Is this agood idea? Why or why not?

“I don’t think the newbridge should be paid for withtolls. The federal governmentshould pay the lion’s share ofthe new bridge.

“For all those folks (U.S.Rep. Steve Chabot included)who say we can’t/shouldn’tborrow any more money, Iwant to ask you this: Why wasit OK to borrow billions ofdollars to build roads, bridges,power plants, etc. in Iraq, butout of the question to borrow$2.9 billion to build a bridge inthe United States?

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONThe Ohio House recentlypassed House Bill 7, whichprohibits schools from usingtest scores from state assess-ments when determining astudent’s advancement to thenext grade level and grantingof course credit. The bill alsostates that schools are notpermitted to share individualstudent test scores to outsidesources without consent fromeither the student or his or herparents. Is this good legisla-tion? Why or why not?

For Price Hillians (as myfather called us) beer was partof life.

In Price HillSaloons LarrySchmoltz in-forms us thatthere weremore than 225breweries inthe Cincinnatiarea in theearly 1800s, butnot one inPrice Hill. Asmall brewery,the Reuter andBetting Brew-

ery was located in Sedamsvilleand produced less than a thou-sand barrels a year.

In Fairmount, on QuebecAvenue, there was the BeckerBrewing Co., which producedsome of the finest lagers of thetime. The brewing industrycontributed greatly to the Cin-cinnati economy, even helpingto cultivate the cattle and hogindustry with brewing by-prod-ucts used as feed.

Jobs in the breweries weresought-after positions. Thebrewmaster, considered king ofthe brewery, was paid from

$7,500 to $15,000 per year. Com-mon laborers got $1.50 for a14-16 hour day plus all the beerthey could drink while working.Compared to other workers ofthe day, this was very good pay.The fire chief and police chiefmade about $3600 a year. Afireman made $1 a day workinga 24 hour shift.

Beer drinking was encour-aged as a part of employment.That’s why there were tap-rooms in most breweries. Fire-men and policemen stopped bywhile on duty.

Schmoltz, a great story tell-er, writes about a hot July daywhen seven firemen and ninepolicemen were enjoying a beerin the Hudepohl Brewery tap-room on West Sixth Street. Themayor, Mayor Waldvogel, on hisway home from his office inCity Hall, stopped in for a re-freshing brew. On entering thetaproom, he encountered thecity’s finest and sat down withthem to enjoy his beer, askingabout their families.

Waldvogel was nicknamedUncle Eddie. His name lives ontoday, thanks to the west sideviaduct that bares his name.

Taprooms became elegant

rooms with fine furniture andsports pictures on the walls.Some were rooftop affairs witha city view. Select customerswere permitted to use theserooms for special occasions.

Unfortunately when prohibi-tion went into effect many ofCincinnati’s breweries went outof business. They tried produc-ing “near beer” with less than 1percent alcohol content but itwasn’t embraced by the beerdrinking community.

The Hudepohl brewery sur-vived prohibition by producingnear beer and soft drinks tobecome one of the largest brew-eries in the country. By 1948they were producing more than900,000 barrels of beer annu-ally.

Hudepohl was the only beeron tap in many Price Hill sa-loons. Sadly, a lack of foresightcaused Hudepohl’s decline andeventual sale to Schoenling. In1987 all production was movedto the Schoenling facility andthe plant closed for good.

BRANDON SEVERN FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Nick Goldfuss of Oak Hills tries to get out of a roll by Eric Day of Lakota Eastin the 148-pound match. The GMC held its conference finals Saturday, Feb. 7.

PRICE HILL — A significantfirst is never forgotten. Thefirst can flatten fear and allowfor progress, confidence andthe expectation of success — es-sential pieces in any program.

In the 1960-61 basketball sea-son, Elder High School’s teamran through a proverbial wallwith one of the best seasons inprogram history. — somethingfor which future teams couldstrive.

Elder went 20-1 that year; itsonly loss came against Withrow,66-61, in the district tourna-ment. The team became thefirst in Elder history to go unde-feated in the regular season andalso the first to be ranked No. 1overall in the state, according tothe school.

During its 20-game winstreak to start the season, Elderhad only two games decided bysingle-digit points, a 78-72 winover Newport Catholic, and an82-75 win over Dayton Dunbar.

“We thought we could begood,” said Tom Apke, a seniorforward in 1961. “We had a so-sojunior year and coach (Ray)Dieringer challenged us at theend of it. We had no way ofknowing things would click sowell the next year.”

The Panthers’ lineup was itsown kind of “Murderers’ Row.”.The starting guards were sen-iors Tom Bushman and FritzMeyer, who had chemistrysince they started playing to-gether as fourth-graders at St.William, they said. Bushman ac-cepted a football scholarship atDayton. Meyer took a full-rideto Cincinnati, playing basket-ball on the 1962 National Cham-pionship team and 1963 FinalFour team.

At forward, Elder had 6-foot-5 senior Steve Tensi andthe 6-foot-6 Apke. Junior TomBiedenharn was the startingcenter at 6-foot-7. Paul Knuewas the sixth man and also stood6-foot-7.

Tensi took a scholarship to

play football at Florida State,where was an All-Americanquarterback before playing forthe Denver Broncos. Apke ac-cepted a scholarship to playbasketball at Creighton andwould later become a college

basketball coach between 1974-1996 at Creighton, Colorado andAppalachian State. Biedenharnaccepted a basketball scholar-ship joining Meyer at Cincin-nati. Knue played college bas-ketball at Villa Madonna, now

known as Thomas More. The Panthers were big and

people took notice. “We played at Aurora (Indi-

ana) and I still remember goingin there as a team and those peo-ple just being in awe of our

size,” said Biedenharn. “Whenwe got on the floor we proved tothem that it wasn’t just our size— we could play.”

Elder put on display a com-plete brand of basketball.

“We had size, speed, workethic and great coaching,” re-membered Bushman, whoeventually came back andcoached basketball at Elder for14 years.

That year Elder had fourstarters average more than 15points per game, the players re-called.

“Bushman was the only guywho didn’t average in doublefigures,” Apke said. “We used tojoke that somebody had to passthe ball.”

According to Meyer, Bush-man was a defensive stalwarthe described as “an outstandingleader and teammate.”

Great teams require greatleadership and Elder had that inhead coach Ray Dieringer, the1961Ohio Coach of the Year, andassistant Art DelConte, whomMeyer said was “like an honor-ary member of the class of ’61.”

“We knew we were gonna bedecent, but no idea we’d be un-defeated. After we got playing,I could see they would be prettygood,” Dieringer said. “Theywere unselfish, they liked oneanother and they played for El-der High School.”

PRICE HILL — Swim-ming isn’t only aboutwhere you finish, it’s alsoabout how you got there.

It’s a unique sport inthat success isn’t limitedto a spot on the podium ora medal. Success can bemany things. At SetonHigh School, success isabout personal improve-ment – and they’re okaywith that.

The Saints aren’t flyingby anybody away in thewater. But, they havecome together as a teamand that’s equally as im-portant as your time orplace.

“This is a really goodgroup of girls,” said sec-ond-year Seton coachAnne Hayhow. “We’ve hada good year with goodtime drops.”

There’s no shortage ofseniors on the Saints –they have eight and Hay-how referred to them as “agreat group." That’s alsoone of the reason Hayhowsaid her team is so close.Three of those seniors –Hannah Fricke, AshleyGrooms and Maggie Thie-mann – are all four-yearswimmers at Seton.

“What we’re hopingfor, and what we’ve had isa group of girls who havecome together as a team,”said Hayhow.

Prior to the Division Isectional meet Feb. 14,Hayhow said about halfher team would be com-peting at sectionals.

“A huge goal for uswould be to get a relay anda couple individualsthrough to districts,” Hay-how said.

Two hopefuls, in addi-tion to the seniors, are ju-niors Jessica Hayhow andAllie Bihl who have shotsat a postseason run in the50 freestyle, Hayhowsaid.

Seton looks for smallwins. Hayhow said thatone of her favorite mo-ments this season was see-ing just how much hergirls care about each oth-er. Part of what makesswimming different isthat teammates oftenswim against each otherin the same race. In the

100 breaststroke, Hayhowsaid that junior IsabellaTimon normally beatsMaggie Thiemann, but onthis day, Thiemanndropped more than twoseconds on her time andwon. Hayhow said thateven though Timon lost“she was so excited to seeher teammate do well,”that it didn’t matter thatshe’d lost. That’s a winthat will last.

Coming into the seasonthe goal was improve-

ment, to make these girlsinto a team but also inde-pendent. Hayhow saidtheir goal is to make life-long swimmers and ath-letes of out these girls.

Hayhow said thatswimming is a great wayto learn. The message shehopes her team will learnand never forget is that“they can do something ontheir own without havingsomeone else with them,but they’re also part of ateam.”

Seton senior Emma Voss swims in the 100 yard freestyle atMiami University on Jan. 18 in the Southwest Ohio Swimmingand Diving Classic.

NORTH BEND — WhenTaylor High School’sswimmers arrived atpractice Feb. 5, Tayloralumnus and accom-plished swimmer JoshSchneider greeted them.

After his 2006 gradu-ation, Schneider swamat the University of Cin-cinnati, where he won anational championshipin the 50 freestyle in2010. He won two medalsin the 2010 short courseworld championshipsand once held the U.S.record for the 50-meterfreestyle short course.Now, he’s working tomake the next Olympics.

Taylor coach SteveMeyer said Schneiderserved as inspiration forthe Yellow Jackets.

“He offered somepointers and inspirationto try and help themthrough this little part oftheir season,” Meyersaid. “He was telling thekids how much practicehe puts in and I thinktheir jaws were drop-ping. It was neat that hecame in; they were defi-nitely inspired.”

Two days afterSchneider’s visit, sopho-more Isabelle Murraywon Cincinnati HillsLeague championshipsin the 100 backstroke(1:00.08) and the 100 but-terfly (58.63). Meyersaid Murray closedstrongly in the back-

stroke, coming from be-hind with about fiveyards left to win thatrace.

“It’s her (Murray) de-dication to the sport,”Meyer said. “Like mostof the kids at the top,they give up a lot to dowhat they love to do.”

Along with Murray,who’s a year-round clubswimmer, the girlssquad is loaded. Sopho-mores Abby Rapien andLydia Wasserbauer bothmade it to state withMurray last season onthe relays and they’reeyeing a return trip. Ju-nior Sutty Godar has im-proved from last yearand also done well, Mey-er said. Rapien tookthird place at the CHLmeet in the 200 freestyleand second place in the500 freestyle.

On the boys’ side,Meyer has been sur-prised with first-yearswimmer Michael Lee,whom Meyer said is will-

ing to try and swim any-thing to help the team.

“The first time he(Lee) swam the 50 free,he was in the mid-40sand now he’s at 30 (sec-onds),” Meyer said.“Other kids see that im-provement in his workethic at practice. Wheth-er you’re at the top oryou’re just starting, ev-eryone works just ashard.”

Meyer said swim-ming is a combination ofhard work and God-giv-en talent. The kids Mey-er teaches get to learnsomething he hopesthey’ll take with them,and he gets to help,which is more thanenough for him.

“I like people to suc-ceed; I like to helpthem,” Meyer said. “It’sfun to watch them com-pete and it’s definitelyfun to watch them reachtheir goal and glow intheir success. I get excit-ed about that.”

GEOFF BLANKENSHIP FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Taylor’s Isabelle Murray took first place in the girls 100-yardbutterfly at CHL meet on Feb. 7.

The Panthers weremuch more than justtheir starting five.

“Everybody on theteam was good,” saidBiedenharn. “The guysthat didn’t start weregood or we wouldn’thave been as good.”

The fans took notice,too. It was just the sec-ond season Elder had ahome gym, what’s nowthe wrestling and volley-ball gym.

“Every one of ourgames was a sellout —you could not buy aticket,” Meyer said.“The place was sopacked outside (beforegames), I had to have apoliceman come escortme into the gym.”

Their pursuit of per-fection fell short whenthe Panthers playedWithrow, a great team inits own right. Withrowwas led by Roland West,who went on to play forthe Bearcats.

After completing hismaster’s degree, TomApke went back to UC asa graduate assistantcoach on the basketballteam. Apke remem-

bered West joking atpractice saying, “With-row was lying in theweeds waiting for us.”

“It still haunts me tothis day — I cannot getthat (game) out of mymind,” Fritz said.

On that night, With-row was the better team.Biedenharn, Meyer andBushman rememberedracking up a bunch offouls against Withrow,saying the Tigers killed

them at the foul line.Meyer said he thoughtthey went 22 of 24 fromthe line. Bushman saidhe fouled out, the onlytime he remembers do-ing that in his career.

“It was just one ofthose nights,” said Dier-inger. “You can’t haveeverything. It was thetoughest game I thinkI’ve ever been involvedin.”

That loss still stings.And, even though achampionship eludedthem, the Panthers stucktogether and still do.

“We all stuck togeth-er,” Meyer said. “To thisday, we still keep in con-tact with one another.”

Biedenharn, who stillhas the Elder single-sea-son scoring average rec-ord (24.8 in 1962), said“there’s somethingabout that west sidePrice Hill tradition thatjust kind of gets in yourblood and stays in yourblood — not enough ofthat left in the world.”

Dieringer, who alsocoached baseball at El-der, would agree.

“It’s a very unique sit-uation at Elder. I can’texplain it,” Dieringersaid. “After leavingthere, I’ve never been toanother school like it.”
