Paul Morgan said it is easy totell on any given Saturday howmuch the Little Miami StatePark Bike Trail is a part ofdowntown Loveland. Peoplestream into Nisbet Park fromboth ends, using the trail thatstretches 50 miles.

“The popularity of this parkis really soaring these days,”said Morgan, a member of theFriends of the Little MiamiState Park.

In 2014, more than 700,000people used the trail and morethan 100,000 accessed it throughthe Loveland trail head. Morgansaid with the high usage, age ofthe trail and proximity to theLittle Miami River, repairs areneeded.

“Some areas have been cor-roded away and are about to fallinto the river. There are manyspots with cracks from treeroots and places where the

pavement has buckled. It isabout the safety and basic func-tion of the trail,” Morgan said.

In Gov. John Kasich’s 2014budget bill, $88.5 million was al-lotted to Ohio State Parks forcapital improvements. Matt Ei-selstein, of the Ohio Depart-ment of Natural Resources, said$3 million has been approvedfor improvements to the LittleMiami State Park, commonlycalled the Loveland Bike Trail.

“We did an online survey.People could go online and tellus about what project theywanted done at their favoritestate park and this was one ofthe most requested projects,”Eiselstein said.

Phase one will include shor-ing up areas of slippage, fortify-ing shorelines and replacingstorm water culverts.

Jean Koverman jokes aboutwhat seems to be a tradi-tion for her – an annualstay at Mercy Anderson

Hospital.In fact, the Anderson resi-

dent calls the stay a “vaca-tion.” There’s nothing light orfun about this vacay, however,with Koverman finding her-self annually battling pneu-monia. This last February,something extraordinaryhappened during her hospitalstay.

“While there, the chaplaincame in. I was having a par-ticularly bad day. I was hav-ing a pity party and she camein at the perfect time,” shesaid.

The two were talking whenChaplain Sue Motz suddenlyexcused herself and quicklyreturned holding a mason jar.It was beautifully decoratedand contained strips of paperwith words of hope. It was a“hope jar.”

“That’s a phenomenalidea,” Koverman recalledthinking. As an English lan-guage arts teacher at St. RitaSchool for the Deaf in Even-dale, she knew it was a pro-

ject for the students at herschool. She graciously accept-ed the hope jar and promisedMotz she would return withjars made by students fromSt. Rita.

As soon as she returned towork, Koverman presentedthe idea to her colleagues andit was immediately embraced.Soon, the students were cre-ating their own jars duringtheir PALS program.

PALS is an acronym forPeer Advisor Life Skills, asso-ciate Executive Director An-gie Frith said. This is a quar-terly activity that brings to-gether all students, gradesK-12, to work on projects andplay games.

For the hope jars, the pro-ject was integrated with thecurriculum. For example,students were asked to re-search Bible verses express-ing joy, perseverance, hope,faith and gratitude, Frith said.The words and versus weretyped on strips of paper to beincluded in the jars. The stu-dents also decorated the jars.

St. Rita is a school commu-nity that benefits from manyvolunteers giving of theirtime, talent and treasures, shesaid. The hope jars providedthe students with an opportu-

nity to give back to the com-munity that supports them.

The program is expected tocontinue and grow next year.Motz visited St. Rita to meetthe students and accept theirfirst set of Hope Jars.

She’s delighted that St. Ritastudents have joined Ander-son Township’s ImmaculateHeart of Mary CatholicSchool students and a fewother volunteers in creatingthe hope jars. The idea for thehope jars came about a coupleyears ago. One of the nursesat Mercy Anderson had a jarfilled with positive messagesthat the staff used, Motz said.That sparked the idea. Motz’sparents and other volunteersprovided the support neededto create the initial batch ofjars.

Many of the jars have spir-itual messages. Some do not.All are filled with messages ofhope. The jars are stored in acloset that’s accessible byvolunteers and chaplains.

When a patient is found toneed a little hope, they arepresented with a jar, Motzsaid.

The jars are all different.For example, some are patri-

ter that is done, we willprioritize and spend thedollars where they need tobe spent. Ideally, duringconstruction season nextyear phase one will becompleted,” Eiselsteinsaid.

Later phases will in-clude repaving, replacingguardrails and fences andrenovating and rebuild-ing bridges.

Though the Little Mi-ami State Park stretches50 miles, it has earned thenickname the LovelandBike Trail because manypeople think of it as thetrail they get on in down-town Loveland.

“The bike trail is suchan anchor to the down-town that feeds so manyof the businesses. Thepopularity of the biketrail is pivotal to Love-land Station and to all thedevelopments,” Love-land City Manager DaveKennedy said.

He added he cited thetrail in a grant applica-tion to improve a play-ground in Nisbet Park,which the city received.“It plays such an activerole. It fits the lifestyle ofa lot of our residents,” hesaid.

Eiselstein said the

trail has been likened toRoute 66 for cyclists.

“(Cyclists) can see allthese little villages asthey go along. It is aunique part of the statepark system that we real-ly want to preserve. Thefolks that utilize it love itand we want to invitemore people to use it.This is a project thathelps us do that,” he said.

FOREST HILLSJOURNALEditor: Richard Maloney, rmaloney@communitypress.com, 248-7134

Students at SummitCountry Day Schoolrecorded the experi-ences of 72 individuals

for the latest volume of “HearMy Story; Be My Voice: Givinga Voice to Humanity.”

The book, in its third year, isthe culmination of the yearlongcapstone project that eighth-graders complete as part of theschool’s 13-year CharacterEducation Program.

The eighth-grade capstoneproject is based on restorativejustice. By telling these sto-ries, the students humanizeand empower people who havefought injustice. The sharingprocess is a path to healingsouls.

The 72 eighth-graders be-hind this third volume had theopportunity to put a name andface to struggles as they in-terviewed survivors of geno-cide, war veterans, people whogrew up in poverty, operatorsof small family farms, im-migrants, civil rights activists,Peace Corps volunteers, recov-ering addicts, people livingwith disabilities, and others. Asampling of the voices includ-ed:

» Bella Ouziel, an Ausch-witz survivor;

» Eugenie Mukeshimana, asurvivor of the Rwandan Tutsigenocide;

» Robert Vincent Crane, aWorld War II veteran;

» Marian Spencer, whohelped to integrate Cincinnati’sConey Island;

» Sue Breen-Schneider ‘88,the mother of a child with au-tism;

» Adam Ayers, who workswith Paralympics;

» Zuhall Ayaar, a refugeefrom Afghanistan;

» Dr. Humam Akbik, whohas helped Syrian refugees atcamps in Jordan.

With the support of theeighth-grade team, Englishteacher Rosie Sansalone guid-ed the project. Before thisschool year began, she attend-ed an education seminar atNew York City’s MemorialLibrary, which was founded byHolocaust survivor, Olga Len-gyel.

Teachers received thecharge to humanize the worldthrough the use of writing topromote social justice in theclassroom. That could happenvia storytelling. The studentswould hear the voices of hu-manity, and then we wouldwrite, reflect, and discussthem, Sansalone says in theintroduction to the book.

Students studied Elie Wie-sel’s memoir “Night,” and onthe annual eighth-grade trip toWashington, D.C., they visitedthe United States HolocaustMemorial Museum. Upon theirreturn from the trip, the stu-dents and eighth-grade facultyengaged in a capstone kick-offassembly in which they dis-cussed how to put into actionrestorative justice about whichthey had learned in religionclass.

Groups discussed the mes-sage of using voice to stand upfor justice delivered in RabbiJoachim Prinz’s speech givenon the steps of the LincolnMemorial just before MartinLuther King’s “I Have ADream” speech. These reflec-tions were then further devel-oped in English class as thestudents wrote and discussedAsk, Speak, Believe journals.They were asked to cultivate aclassroom of respect and con-

sider how to effect changeoutside those walls.

With that mindset, the stu-dents sat down with their cap-stone voices. During the in-terviews, they felt discomfort,nerves and perhaps a bit offear, and yet as the interviewsprogressed, it dawned on thestudents that the person acrossthe table was a human beingwith a story, Sansalone said. Apowerful human exchange andconnection resulted.

Some students were in-spired to go beyond the pro-ject, she said. After meetingAyers, Connor Woodruff ap-plied to volunteer this summerwith children who have specialneeds. Caroline Kubicki wroteto U.S. Sen. Rob Portman tourge a refugee status hearingfor Ayaar and her family. Mi-chael Hajjar and Evan Huntinvited Akbik to speak at anassembly about the need forclean water in refugee camps.

In addition Evan’s voice,Syrian refugee Hani Termani-ni, charged them to build anawareness campaign. WithTermanini’s guidance theyconducted an awareness as-sembly with their classmates,as well as an awareness cam-paign on social media. Theycreated the Instagram page,Summit Stands With Syriaposting messages of hope andawareness of the vast humani-tarian crisis in Syria. Finally,they conducted a five-day blitzof awareness at school andraised money to buy waterpurification packets to sendwith Akbik on his medicalmissions to the refugee camps.

This year Sansalone alsohad students write poemsabout the path to justice, whichstarts with self-respect andleads to respect for others,empathy and inclusion. In turn,the poems inspired a capstonesong, “Embracing Hope and

Humanity,” which was per-formed in the Chapel at theCelebrations of Voices pro-gram in May under the guid-ance of music teacher GregWilliams. View photos of theceremony at http://smu.gs/1ACOCzr

Photography work in artclass gave visual power to thebook and the culminating cele-bration. Paul Serrianne, eighth-grade art teacher, guided thestudents to create a visualphotographic representation oftheir voices’ stories, and thesewere published with the narra-tives in the book; in addition,they were used during theCapstone Celebration of Voicesin the documentary of voices, avideo created by Serrianne.

Through their four years inthe Middle School, Summitstudents engage in capstoneexperiences that challengethem to put character intoaction.

By the eighth grade, webelieve they are ready to tack-le the challenge of justice, andspecifically restorative justice,says Middle School directorMike Johnson. The eighth-graders also heard the callfrom the Rev. Phil Seher, theschool’s chaplain, at a fall lead-ership retreat.

As a result of learning thesestories, reflecting upon them,and writing about them, thestudents have been taught tohumanize in order to fightdehumanization, Sansalonesaid.

Copies of the book ($40) canbe ordered by emailing yourrequest to Rosie Sansalone:sansalone_r@summitcds.org.Two grants, from the Wiserfamily and the Memorial Li-brary in New York, helpedfund this year’s capstone pro-ject.

What is it aboutvintage recipesthat intriguesme so? I guessit’s about the

history, a time when recipesharing was done by passingwritten or typed recipes byhand, sometimes when folks

gathered togeth-er for a morningcoffee break atsomeone’s home.

I was giftedwith such a won-derful lot ofrecipes fromDonna Wright, aClermont Coun-ty reader whowanted me tohave her Mom’s

and Grandma’s recipes. In-cluded with vintage cookbookswas a wooden box with thehandwritten and typed recipes,often with notes on the recipesby the cook. When I lookedthrough the box, I was sur-prised at the number of cakes,both for breakfast, brunch anddessert. We like a simple cinna-mon coffee cake, one that canbe made with the little ones andmixed by hand.

The recipe I’m sharing to-day from that wooden box isjust such a recipe. It’s calledquick coffee cake but I gave itan additional name. This coffeecake is not too sweet or gooey.

Quick coffee cake akaNot a fancy coffee cake

How much is a heapingtablespoon? The butter shouldmound up on the spoon. I madethis by hand with a whisk.

1 heaping tablespoon but-ter

1/2 cup sugar1 egg1/2 cup milk1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla

1-1/2 cups all purpose flour2 teaspoons baking pow-

der1/2 teaspoon saltPreheat oven to 325. Melt butter. Beat egg and

sugar together. Beat in butter.Add milk and vanilla and beathard. Add dry ingredients,which you have mixed togeth-er. (I just whisked them togeth-er). Blend but don’t over beat.Pour into greased and flouredpan. (I used spray).

Then mix together:3 tablespoons sugar1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamonThe recipe said to sprinkle

this on top which I did. Nexttime I’ll swirl it into the batterso that if I would choose toglaze it, the glaze won’t pull thetopping up.

Bake 30 minutes or so justuntil toothpick inserted in cen-ter comes out clean. Don’t overbake or cake will be dry.

Glaze (opt)I just made a confectioners

sugar glaze with a cup of con-fectioners sugar and enoughwater to make a glaze. Startwith 3 tablespoons water.

Refrigerator or freezerpickles

No, I didn’t make a mistakein the title. These pickles do goin the freezer and yes, they areamazingly crisp after thawing.My sister, Sonia, loves hergarden and each year makesthese awesome pickles. ForJudy N., who wanted the recipeand also wanted to know if shecould add some fresh dill sinceher dill will be ready when herpickling cucumbers are. Theanswer is yes. I think it wouldgive the pickles another ele-ment of flavor and, after all,dill is one of the ingredients inpickling spice.

4 cups thinly sliced cucum-bers, unpeeled

1 medium onion, slicedthin

2 tablespoons saltUp to 1-1/2 cups sugar - I

use less but just go to taste1/2 cup vinegar1-1/2 teaspoons pickling

spice1 red bell pepper, diced

(opt)1 clove garlic, smashed

(opt)

Arrange cucumbers andonions in large bowl. Sprinklewith salt and mix. Pour enoughwater over to just cover them.Stir again. Soak at room tem-perature for 2 hours. Drain, butdon’t rinse. Meanwhile, mixsugar, vinegar and picklingspice in small saucepan. Bringto a simmer and cook untilsugar dissolves. Let cool whilepickles are soaking. After pick-les have been drained, add bellpepper, then pour pickling

brine over them. Mix. Put intocontainers. Let marinate over-night in refrigerator beforeeating. Keeps at least threeweeks in frig, or up to sixmonths in freezer.

A publication of

June 17 questionWhat is your favorite sum-

mer vacation story (somethingthat you personally experi-enced)?

“One of my favorite sum-mer vacations was spentworking to help poor peopleback in the hollers of Appa-lachia working very hard andsweating my behind off with agroup of youth and adultsfrom our church. It wasdusty, dirty, hot, sticky, bug-gy, spidery, yucky and hardwork but it was one of themore rewarding times of mylife seeing a bunch of kids

(including a couple of girlygirls) never complain doingit, and more importantly

seeing the sheer gratitudefrom the home owners forwhat we had done for them.It was life lifting.”

M.J.F.

“Many years ago my em-ployer needed me to assist aclient in Florida. As I couldfly or drive, I drove and tookmy family. Needless to saythis provided a ‘free’ vaca-tion for us. As luck wouldhave it I was not that busyworking most days and couldalso enjoy the stay. Vacationsare great, but free vacationsare even better. Go Figure!”

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers tormaloney@communitypress.com withCh@troom in the subject line.

In the summer of 1988, myhusband, Hank Hannig, begana wonderful tradition thatended June 6, 2015.

That day in 1988, we (plus ofcourse his parents) took ourfirst grandson for his firsthaircut to my husband’s bar-

ber, TerryOwens, whowas at CherryGrove Barbersat the time. Myhusband insist-ed on payingfor his haircutand thus, thetradition wasborn.

Not only didmy husbanddecide to pay

for his first haircut, he decidedto pay for all his haircuts untilhe turned 18 and graduatedfrom high school.

As the years went on, wewere blessed with four moregrandsons and they too wereincluded in this wonderfulbonding experience. Two trav-eled from the West ChesterTownship area and two trav-eled from the Dayton area. Wealso have two granddaughterswho have had their hair cut byTerry on occasion.

This first haircut was, ofcourse, videotaped, as were allsubsequent first haircuts. Atone point in time, we made aDVD for Terry of all the firsthaircuts. Another time wegave him a picture collage ofeach one getting their firsthaircut.

Terry now owns VisionsHair Design in Withamsville,and my husband will continueto go to him. Terry made somany wonderful memories forour grandsons. So I emailedthe following message to allfive grandsons:

“Dear Zak, Joe, Wes, Daniel

and Will,“Now that Will is almost out

of high school, the era ofGrandpa taking you boys up toTerry’s for haircuts is over. Iwould like to do somethingspecial for Terry (and youguys) and loosely, here is whatI had in mind.

“1. I would like it to be asurprise

“2. I would like each of youto get your hair cut one moretime by Terry (or, just come byto join the fun – the choice isyours).

“3. I would like to get him acake that says ‘Thanks Terry.’

“4. I would like the parentsin attendance too if they wouldlike to be there.

They all responded veryenthusiastically. So with thehelp of Liz, who works at Vi-sions, we scheduled fake-nameappointments starting at 2p.m., which would be after hislunch time June 6. Everyonegathered at our home and wedrove to Visions around 1:45p.m. Terry was in the backroom so he didn’t see us comein.

Once our cameras wereready and the cake set up, oneof the girls went back to getTerry. He was so appreciativethat all the boys (actually mennow) were there. The cake wascut and Terry started the hair-cuts. The ladies of the familyleft so the boys could havetheir bonding experience onemore time. In addition, Sonya,who still works at Collagewhere Terry had worked manyyears, came over to say hi tothe boys.

Terry will always be part oftheir childhoods. Thanks formaking such wonderful memo-ries for our family, Terry!

WESTERN HILLS — This sum-mer, the Cincinnati Steam arecelebrating 10 years of amateurcollege baseball at Max McLe-ary Field on Ferguson Avenue.

To celebrate, the Steam willdo as they’ve always done: lace‘em up and play.

This season, they’ll do thatunder first-time manager PatHyde, a former catcher atNorthern Kentucky University,originally from Chicago. Hydewas a Steam assistant prior toearning the head gig.

Hyde’s a common commodityfor the Steam, who employ manyaspiring for careers in baseball.

“I want to put them in the bestposition for them to be success-ful. I want these guys to come infor the summer and by the timethey leave I want them to goback to their school better thanwhen they left,” Hyde said. “Iwant them to grow and matureas people and also as baseballplayers.”

The Steam compete in theGreat Lakes Summer CollegiateLeague, one of the premier sum-mer baseball leagues in thecountry (arguably second onlyto Cape Cod), a wooden batleague comprised of players

with remaining college eligibil-ity. Roughly 17 locals play on theSteam this year, as well as guysfrom Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,Kentucky and South Carolina.

After 11games, the Steam areoff to a 4-6-1 start. At the plate,the Steam have been led by JakeRichmond (University of Cin-cinnati), who’s hitting .444, andTrey Ganns (Northern Ken-tucky), who’s hitting .351 witheight RBI. Max Foley (Evans-ville) has been hot with a .341av-erage, 14 hits and eight RBI.

On the mound, Hunter Dunn

(Eastern Kentucky) has a 4.23ERA and 17 innings with 23strikeouts. Nick Beard (North-ern Kentucky) has a 3.60 ERAand nine strikeouts in 10 innings.

“We have a very talentedteam. We’re very young,” saidHyde. “Getting guys into theright spot in the right situation.You learn how to pick their brain… you want to see what theirthought process is and theirbaseball instinct.”

According to Brady Laber,Steam director of baseball oper-ations, the Steam has had 32players drafted by MajorLeague teams. Most notably,Adam Eaton with the ChicagoWhite Sox and Pittsburgh Pi-rates All-Star third basemanJosh Harrison.

“What I like doing is seeingguys come in day one whetherit’s summer ball or college, justseeing them develop into betterplayers and people,” Hyde said.“They may struggle one day, butthe best thing about baseball isyou’re gonna get to play the nextday. It’s nice seeing guys growfrom mistakes and get better.”

Coming up at Max McLearyField, the Steam host GrandLake Friday, June 26, on ALSnight and on Thursday, July 2,the Hamilton Joe’s come to townon fireworks night.

NEWTOWN — For most, the high schoolfootball season ends soon after Week 10.

However, with several all-star gamestaking place during the offseason thereare plenty of opportunities to put on thepads, lace up the cleats and step out on tothe field again. The 40th Southwest OhioFootball Coaches Association/Ron WoyanEast/West All-Star game was one of thelatest to take place.

Rosters were made up of several localplayers including former Turpin offen-sive lineman Ben Moher and former An-derson cornerback Austin Fucito.

“It was fun to play in and I was honoredto represent Turpin one more time,” Moh-er said. “I played half to three-fourths ofthe game on the line. It was kind of likethe Pro Bowl.”

Moher said East practices, which weredirected by Glen Este coach Nick Ayers,featured a lighter atmosphere. But, oncethe game started, he said it all came rush-ing back and the game became intenselike any other Friday under the lights.

The East all-stars picked up the 40-20win against the West June 11.

Playing with and against the best play-ers in the area usually means players whowent to rival schools become teammates.

Such was the case with Moher and Fu-cito.

“That part was cool because for fouryears we were rivals,” Moher said.“When we met up on the practice field, itwas good to put some of that to bed.”

During the regular season, Fucito fin-ished third in the Eastern Cincinnati Con-ference in rushing with 1,046 yards rush-ing to go with 11 touchdowns. He led theRedskins in scoring with 72 points andwas crucial in the return game, amassingmore than 20 yards per return.

He finished third on the team in tack-les from his defensive back spot and wasone of three Redskins on the ECC all-con-ference first team.

As for Moher, he made second-teamall-conference from his offensive linespot. More importantly though, he car-ried on a tradition.

“I wore Pat Fox’s jersey number (53)this season,” Moher said. “It’s in honor of

coach Fox who died from a heart condi-tion and he also played on the offensivehere at Turpin.”

The player is chosen at the beginning

of the season and the number is passeddown from lineman to lineman.

The next Spartan to carry on the tradi-tion will likely be selected as the season

approaches this August.“It stays on the offensive line,” the for-

mer Spartan said. “It’s a symbol of how tocarry yourself.”

Moher, Fucito representtheir schools in all-star gameNick Robbe nrobbe@communitypress.com
