This year the special eventpromises to be bigger and bet-ter with triple the luminariaavailable to warm the night andprovide a visual representationof support for sick and grievingchildren and their families.

Dec. 20.The first event was intro-

duced last year by AndersonTownship residents Kristi Mey-er, the founder of Max’s Meals &More, and Kris Carnevale, foun-der of The 43. Proceeds fromthe night benefit these two non-profit organizations.

Meyer and Carnevale havebeen friends for a couple ofyears. They have what Meyerdescribes as a “strange bond.”

Meyer’s son, Max, had a life-saving bone marrow transplantfrom his younger sister in 2009when he was battling asplasticanemia. Today he’s a healthy

boy. The journey to good healthwas challenging. As difficult asthe experience was for her fam-ily, Meyer said that she noticedothers had it even tougher. Sheand her family live just 20 min-utes from Children’s Hospital.Most are not so fortunate. Forthese people, Meyer foundedMax’s Meals & More.

The mission of Max’s Meals& More is to nourish inpatientchildren and their families atCincinnati Children’s Hospital,Cancer & Blood Diseases Insti-tute through meals, comfort

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.”

Carnevale’s husband,Caesar S. Carnevale,passed away in 2011 aftera battle with cancer. Hergrief and inspiration frommusic led her to foundThe 43 with the goal ofholding concerts with pro-ceeds benefitting Fern-side grieving center. Thefirst concert she promot-ed featured Brett Dennenwho performed in 2014 atthe 20th Century Theaterin Oakley.

Fernside is where Car-nevale and her three chil-dren went to deal withtheir grief following Cae-sar Carnevale’s death.

Last year, around lateOctober, the women cameup with the idea for Warmthe Night with Light. With

little time to prepare, theystill managed to sell about550 luminaria kits – allthat they had. Sixth-grad-ers at Wilson Elementaryhelped to assemble thekits as part of their com-munity service project.

“We had a great out-pouring of support. It wasa great event,” Meyersaid. “This year, we decid-ed to go a lot bigger be-cause last year we had toturn people away. Thisyear we’re tripling whatwe did.”

Already, more than 100people have signed up toassemble the kits.

“It’s become a coolcommunity event,” Mey-er said. “Our vision is thatone day we will haveBeechmont lit up and itwill be a destination. Peo-ple will come to see ourlights and know that it’ssupporting families whoare grieving.”

The real message from

Warm the Night withLight is that it’s a visualreminder of support andlove for the sick, the dyingand grieving children andtheir families, Carnevalesaid.

“To have this vision. Todrive through Andersonand Newtown and to seethese lights lit – it’sbreathtaking,” she said.

When her husband wasdying, her neighbors sur-prised them by lighting upthe cul de sac.

“It’s such a great wayto show visually the sup-port people have and insuch an easy and nominalway,” Carnevale said.“You see love beingshared by this soft, flick-ering light all night.”

The luminaria thisyear will be lit arounddusk, 5 p.m. or 5:30 p.m.Sunday, Dec. 20. They willburn for four or fivehours, Meyer said. Mostwill burn past midnight.

That bond, Erdmannsaid, also builds a trustwhich can eventually helpin the struggle against ter-rorism.

“They don’t know why

we would travel all theway from America to helpthem, and it’s totallychanging their under-standing of Americans,”he said.

The CROS team is ableto provide much-neededmedical help and at thesame time, as veterans,they are building positiverelationships.

CROS is currentlyworking to raise $100,000.This money will enablethe group to maintain andexpand its mission. TheDec. 4 event at Moellerwill help CROS in this ef-fort.

The VIP event startingat 6 p.m. includes all of theofferings of the eveningplus a bourbon tasting

session and opportunity tomeet the president andvice president of CROS,along with UFC fighterMatt Hamill of Loveland.VIP guests will also havethe opportunity to meetmembers of the musicalgroup Madison Rising.

The party continues at7 p.m. with wine and Mad-Tree Craft Beer tasting,

food from Dewey’s Pizza,a gourmet taco bar, liveentertainment by Out ofthe Blue and Madison Ris-ing, and more.

The next and finalstep in the approvalprocess for a proposedcommunity reinvest-ment area in AndersonTownship is at the statelevel.

In October, the An-derson Township Boardof Trustees approvedthe creation of a com-munity reinvestmentarea for 15.85 acres thatincludes Anderson Cen-ter (7850 Five MileRoad), 1341 CrottyCourt, and the site of theproposed One AndersonPlace (1400 Towne Cen-ter Way). On Nov. 4 therequest won the approv-al of the Hamilton Coun-ty Commissioners. Thecommunity reinvest-ment area must receivesupport from the statein order for the processto continue moving for-ward.

The action to createthis tax incentive zonewas at the request of

Hills Communities Inc.The developer proposesa seven-story, 180-unitluxury apartment com-plex consisting of a mix-ture of one- and two-bedroom floor plans – tobe called One AndersonPlace. The plans alsoinclude a three-level,330-plus car parkingstructure underneaththe building.

The zoning processand community rein-vestment area applica-tion process can ad-vance concurrently,township assistant Ad-ministrator for Opera-tions Steve Sievers said.

The luxury apart-ments development isproposed for a siteowned by JFP Groupalong Towne CenterWay, at the northernpart of the AndersonTowne Center. This isthe site of the failedAnderson Towne Placedevelopment. The town-ship has a lease interestin the land.

Since the site is locat-

ed on a steep hillside, itcreates significant chal-lenges to development.This is the reason thedeveloper requested thecommunity reinvest-ment area. For new com-mercial construction,the option of the town-ship/county is a 100 per-cent tax abatement forup to 15 years, Sieverssaid. Discussions for theOne Anderson Placedevelopment have fo-cused on a 75 percentabatement for 15 years.

Because abatementof tax dollars is in-volved, the developerwill be required to com-plete the application andsend it to the ForestHills School District forreview and comment,Sievers said. The dis-trict has 45 days to re-spond. The county com-missioners will then acton the final application.

The entire communi-ty reinvestment areaprocess could take up-wards of three monthsto complete.

Volunteers from An-derson Township steppedup to get dirty on the annu-al Make a Difference Day.

They gathered on arainy Saturday to plant 17new trees on townshipGreenspace, the BauerPreserve at the corner ofClough Pike and NagelRoad.

The 24 volunteers wereplanting an area that wasbeing taken over by non-native invasive pear trees,noted Suzanne Clingman,the township’s Green-space coordinator.

“Before the planting,

many of the pear treeswere removed (and willcontinue to be removed)so we will eventually seethis eight-acre Green-space transition into amore native woodland,”she said.

Street Tree Committeechairman Bruce Bernodonated the trees throughhis own charitable pro-gram, “Trees in Grati-tude.” Through this or-ganization, he plants treeson the property of non-profit organizations. Forthis Bauer Preserve treeplanting, he donated all

the trees, mulch, fencing,tree guards, rented a U-Haul and purchased othersupplies.

Most of the volunteerswhere members of CubScout troop 694, their par-ents and members of theAnderson TownshipStreet Tree and Green-space Committees. Cling-man noted that the plant-ing process included dig-ging holes, adding soilamendment, preparingthe root ball for planting,planting the tree, mulch-ing the tree, installing awater bag (if it was a large

enough tree) and install-ing wire fencing aroundthe tree or a deer guarddepending on the size ofthe tree.

The Anderson Town-ship Street Tree Commit-tee is committed to work-ing to plant, maintain andeducate in order to in-crease the number ofhealthy trees in AndersonTownship. The AndersonTownship GreenspaceCommittee has helped An-derson Township to per-manently protected near-ly 700 acres of undevel-oped Greenspace.

Volunteers plant 17 new trees on Bauer Preserve

St. Ursula Academy» For seven years running,

the Saint Ursula Academycommunity has been a strongsupporter of the Leukemia andLymphoma Society. This year,through participation in theLight the Night event, studentsraised more than $3,000 insupport of Leukemia and Lym-phoma research.

The Light the Night Walk isThe Leukemia & LymphomaSociety's annual fundraisingevent, and takes place in morethan 200 cities across the coun-try. The walk celebrates andcommemorates lives of thosewho have been touched byblood cancers. Students walkedin the local Light the Nightevent Oct. 15 at Sawyer Point.

For many high school stu-dents, participating in a chari-table walk would be a good wayto show support to a worth-while organization. For SaintUrsula students however, par-ticipating by walking justwasn’t enough. Students ralliedbehind the cause, designing andselling T-shirts and bracelets,hosting bake sales, encouragingstaff members and familymembers to walk, and kept thewalk and the Leukemia andLymphoma Society in theirdaily prayers. All of these ef-forts resulted in a donation of$3,192.43 to the Leukemia andLymphoma Society.

The Student Council Well-ness Committee, led by seniorDominique DiFalco of Mason,was instrumental in coordinat-ing the fundraising efforts.Dominique has been involvedwith Light the Night throughwalking, fundraising, and sing-ing in the remembrance cere-mony.

“The biggest thing I havelearned from this event overmy past few years is that younever know how you can helpothers,” DiFalco said whenasked about the impact of thiswalk on those affected by leu-kemia and lymphoma. “I havemet great people along each ofthe walks. I have been able tostand in solidarity with friendswho have conquered the dis-ease themselves, and I havebeen able to mourn with thosewho have suffered loss. If noth-ing else, the walk has taught methat even when things seemdark or you may be struggling,the light of just one other per-son walking beside you isenough to provide some relief,and the lights of the thousandsof strangers who march besideyou is enough to see a brightpath ahead.”

In addition to raising money

and participating in the walk,the Saint Ursula Vocal Ensem-ble (SUAVE) provided the vo-cals for the Light the NightMemorial Service and PrincipalCraig Maliborski led the stu-dents in prayer prior to thekick-off.

» Several talented studentsat Saint Ursula Academy host-ed several sold-out perfor-mances of the play “DecisionHeight,” a war-time story of therole of women in the service.

“Decision Height” is a storyabout friendship and the com-plex yet essential role of wom-en in wartime. Through tri-umph and tragedy, the womenin the play learn as much aboutthemselves as they do aboutairplanes. The women form asisterhood that cannot be bro-ken, and one character mustmake a decision that willchange her life forever.

The Saint Ursula Academystudents who participated inthe play researched the role ofwomen during WWII, includinginterviewing Mildred Barhorstwho served in the Army duringthe war.

The cast of the play includ-ed: The crew of the play in-cluded: Zoe Christoff of Mil-ford, Emma Reginelli of Mont-gomery, Erin Niebuhr of An-derson Township, EmilyRomano of Milford, KateLiesch of Green Township,Sarah Moore of Villa Hills, EvaKinneary of Norwood, LizzaDobbins of East Walnut Hills,Lily Mannix of Hyde Park,Emily Miller of AndersonTownship, Molly Owens ofAnderson Township, LaurenTalbot of Miami Heights, Cath-

Turpin High School

» Battelle Education, anorganization dedicated to in-

novation in edu-cation, has se-lected BenSchulcz, TurpinHigh Schoolmath teacher, tobe one of 16educators acrossthe state to par-ticipate in the

Trailblazer Teachers program,a program that trains teachersin-depth about integratingblended learning into class-rooms.

“I applied to be a part of thisprogram because embracingblended learning is incrediblyimportant; it provides studentswith a personalized educationby blending face-to-face in-struction with technology. Thisblended approach allows teach-ers to work with students innew ways, increase engage-ment and promote growth andachievement,” Schulcz said.“The world is changing. If we,as teachers, don’t learn tochange with it then we areleaving our students behind.”

Recommended for the pro-gram by Brian Lee, Turpinassistant principal, and select-ed from a more than 100 appli-cants, Schulcz will spend thenext year learning about effec-tive strategies and tools forteaching in a modern class-room, ways to incorporate digi-tal resources into the classroomand collaborating with otherteachers in the program toshare ideas and practices. InMay 2016, Schulcz will publish

his lesson plans, assessmentsand other materials as re-sources for other schools andteachers.

“Simple, reliable and cost-effective technology can allowa good teacher to do more,”said Aimee Kennedy, Battelle’svice president of education,STEM learning and philanthro-py. “We are excited to see whatthese top-notch educators cancreate during the comingschool year.”

Natasha Adams, FHSD di-rector of curriculum and in-struction, agreed.

“I commend Ben on his de-sire to continue his own learn-ing to benefit students,” saidAdams, who is leading district-wide blending learning initia-tives in Forest Hills. “Throughblended learning, we are able toincorporate technology intoclassrooms and empower stu-dents to more fully exploresubjects and interests, collab-orate in new ways, connect tomore resources, prepare for atechnology-based world andaccess learning anytime, any-where. In addition, parents,students and teachers are ableto better evaluate a student’sunderstanding of course ma-terial via online assessmentscreated by teachers. We areexcited to have Ben as a re-source as we explore, researchand build courses to reflectnew ways of learning.”

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, TerracePark and Milford have askedthem to not allow Martin Mar-ietta blast for limestone.

This is not about AndersonTownship’s autonomy. This isabout Martin Marietta payingoff backroom discussions topush their agenda. That’s

called autoc-racy, not au-tonomy. RussJackson’sstatementironicallycites autono-my as impor-tant for prop-erty values.People of An-derson Town-ship it’s time

to let your trustees know alimestone mine does not pro-tect your property values - oryour children.

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

» Martin Marietta will det-onate explosives each work-day- when our kids are walk-ing to and from school.

» They’ll store 20,000 tons

of ammonium nitrate on site(Timothy McVeigh used 5,000pounds in the Oklahoma Citybombing).

» Tons of explosives will betransported to the site on localroads past homes, stores andparks.

» Blasting will producefugitive dust and other airpollutants increasing alreadyhigh rates of asthma and otherrespiratory 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 granted,would be good for 50 years.

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 Mari-etta 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 any busi-ness stockpiling more than400 pounds of ammoniumnitrate to register with theDepartment of Homeland

Security.Timothy McVeigh used

5,000 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.

Anderson will have amoni-um nitrate and blasting capson site; the Anderson Trusteeswill be responsible for theirstorage and security.

Mr. Jackson, skip autonomyand explain how you will keepus safe from 20,000 tons ofammonium nitrate! Our safe-ty is in the hands AndersonTownship trustees.

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

Keeping your ho-ho-holi-days safe isn’t impossible, butit might take a few moments ofinspection or planning to ex-amine your annual holidaytraditions with an eye towardsafety.

While decorating your homeis a probably a longstandingtradition during December, itis these decorations that in-crease the chance of fire. Fol-low a few simple tips to insureyour holidays are happy andsafe.

Christmas treesA main safety concern relat-

ed to Christmas trees is justkeeping them moist so theystay fresh and not get brittle. Asix-foot cut tree can “drink” upto a quart of water a day andup to a gallon the first day inwater. Don’t let the water gobelow the bottom of the trunkwhen you set up the tree. If thetree sits inside the garage for afew days before you put it up,keep it in a bucket of water tokeep it fresh.

Buy the freshest possibletree, one with green needles. Ifthe tree is already losing lotsof needles, avoid it.

Christmas trees can be asource of fires, and are typical-ly involved in about 400 firesannually, according to the Na-tional Fire Protection Associa-tion. These fires generallyresult in more than a dozendeaths, many injuries and aloss of more than $10 million inloss and property damage. The

main culprit?Short-circuit-ing tree lights.

Tree lightsChoose

lights that areflame retar-dant or resis-tant. Keepyour deco-rations awayfrom heat

sources such as space heateror kerosene heats, windowsand doors. Never leave a littree unattended. Use indoorlights inside and outdoor lightsoutside.

It is important to use lightsthat have no evidence offrayed electrical cords,cracked wires or broken sock-ets. If you have a doubt, throwit out. Don’t link more thanthree light strands, unlessinstructions indicate it is safe.LED lights are good choicesbecause they put off little heat.Do not overload electricaloutlets. This is a problem wesee all over the township dur-ing the holidays.

Fireplaces and firesAfter unwrapping all your

gifts, people have a tendencyto stuff the wrapping paperinto the fireplace and get it outof the way. Don’t do this, aswrapping paper and packagingis very flammable and cancause a flash fire. Some giftwrap can throw off dangeroussparks or cause a chemical

buildup in the air of your housebecause gift wrapping burnsvery hot with large flames.This can ignite creosote build-up in your chimney. Recycleyour wrapping paper at An-derson’s Recycling Center offBeechmont, next to the Beech-mont Fire Station or throw itout in your own recycling binon your next garbage pickupday.

Turkey fryersIt’s great to enjoy scrump-

tious fried turkey as a treatduring the holidays, but turkeyfryers are extremely danger-ous. They must be used out-doors, away from anythingflammable. Do not use them onwooden decks or in garages.Please note that the oil remainsdangerously hot for hoursafter use, so don’t leave thefryer unattended or let chil-dren or pets near the fryer.

In Anderson Township, wehave seen several troublingincidents related to individualstrying to use a turkey fryer ona frozen turkey. This is a prob-lem. A turkey must be com-pletely thawed before cooking.Keep a fire extinguisher near-by and never use water to ex-tinguish the fire. Read all in-structions for use before thatturkey gets dropped in the oil.

May your holidays bebright, and safe, this year.

Nov. 25 questionWould you feel safe trav-

eling to Europe in light of theParis attacks? What would ittake to make you feel safethere?

“Had this question beenasked even two years ago myanswer would have been asimple ‘sure.’ However, inlight of the ever-increasingaudacity of radical Islamistgroups (yes Obama, youshould use that label), I wouldbe extremely uncomfortabletraveling in Europe with thatall too identifiable dark bluepassport. It is a shame that somany innocents have beenkilled in such violent man-ners. It is a shame that ittakes events with the magni-tude of 9/11 or Paris or Londontrains or US embassies orhotels in Mali to wake more ofthe world up to the ever-in-creasing threat radical Islam-ists insist is good religion. It isa shame that we can’t all justlearn to get along with eachother. It will be a real shameif we end up next Novemberwith another weak sympa-thizer living at 1600 Penn-sylvania. Let us hope an prayfor real leadership to guide us

through and beyond the ter-rorism quagmire.”

M.J.F.

“I would not feel safe trav-eling to Europe or for thatmatter any other foreigncountry except Canada. I havefelt this way since 9/11 andthese terrorist attacks such asParis reconfirm my fears.Europe is being over run withrefugees from the MiddleEast. Odd how so many aretrying to get out of these Mus-lim countries; yet they are notheaded to Dubai or Qatar. GoFigure!”

ANDERSON TWP – It’s notquite what Anderson’s boysteam returns, but the Redskinswill have some good femaleswimmers.

Marissa Martin should re-turn to pace Anderson againthis season. She made the podi-um at the state meet in Cantonin both the 200 and 500 free-style. She was an all-EasternCincinnati Conference first-team performer in both events.

Julia Baldasare and Madi-son Forsthoefel can return aswell. Both swam in the districtmeet last year.

Diver Jennifer Dunn alsoqualified for districts.

Similar to the Spartans’boys team, the Turpin girlssquad could return a wealth ofdistrict participants as well asa state participant.

Lexie Hardewig was a statequalifier in the 200 and 500freestyle.

District participants AnnieConcannon, Taylor Contino,Allison Kapostasy, AudreyMooney, Jessica Rupp andHannah Winner all could makean impact.

Rory Blankenship and LilyMalone also qualified for div-ing districts.

McNicholas could feature asmall, but impactful team thisyear.

The Rockets could returnSkye Lewis, Natalie Martinez

and Shelby Miller. Miller was astate qualifier in the 500 free-style in Division II.

There’s a good feeling sur-rounding the St. Ursula swimteam. You can see it in headcoach Ann Gartner when shetalks about her swimmers.

That good feeling can alsobe seen from the results in thepool. The Bulldogs tallied 270.5points in the state meet lastyear, a second-place finish.Upper Arlington won the teamtitle with 285 points.

“There aren’t words to de-scribe how proud I am of thisteam,” Gartner said followingthe meet. “They performedabove expectations. To go from

ANDERSON TWP – After he finishedthird in the 500 freestyle in state wa-ters at Canton last season, the event hewas state champion in the year before,Anderson senior Hassler Carroll wassalty.

The result fueled him over the sum-mer and now he’s hungry to take histitle back. Plus, he won’t have the wholerecruiting process weighing on hismind after recently committing to Vir-ginia Tech.

Coach Ed Bachman and Carroll areboth looking for him to have a big year.By all accounts, it appears he will.

Over the summer, Carroll barelymissed the time standard for the Olym-pic trials. He’ll have another shot nextyear, an Olympic year.

Both expect him to make it back tostate this year. He doesn’t want to re-turn empty-handed.

“I really want to beat (Lakota East’s)Josh McDonald (last year’s state cham-pion in the event),” Carroll said. “Heand I have this rivalry going.”

Patrick Johnson, Nicholas Haller,Evan Schlosser and Grant Campbellare district qualifiers and could returnthis season.

Jonnyz Harm would be the Redskins’top returning diver.

Carroll isn’t the only Forest Hillsarea swimmer to make his college deci-sion.

Turpin’s Jonathan Ericksen commit-ted to Cincinnati last month, and iscommitted to being one of the area’sbest again this season. He finished inseventh at the state meet in the 500freestyle.

Cole Dehlinger, Matthew Wilson,Kyle Grebert, Mac Dulle and Pete Lin-go also represented the Spartan boys atthe district meet last year. All can re-turn and make an impact this season.

From a diving standpoint, MichaelHaney, a district qualifier as a junior,can return for his final year as well.

McNicholas can return Nick Rosen-baum, Rick Riede Jr. and diver Salva-tore Marino from last year’s team.

Rosenbaum and Marino representedthe Rockets at the district meet lastseason. Marino finished 10th at thedistrict meet at Miami University andwas second team All-GCL Co-ed.

Summit Country Day has to like thedirection the program is heading.

Garrison Herfel and Scott Kinrossmade the district meet as freshmenwhile Mitch Reinhard, a ninth-grader atthe time, finished 17th in the state com-pletion.

Reinhard becomes the team’s top

diver, taking over the role vacated bystate champion Stewart Spanbauer.

“Having Stewart be the leader andhaving Emma (Hellman) and Mitchkind of coming up in his shadow, it’sjust done such great things for Summit

diving and our program,” coach SusanMaxwell said after the Division II div-ing meet.

With the way things are going, Max-well and the Silver Knights could seemore team members peppering theheat sheets at C.T. Branin Natatoriumthis season.

Walnut Hills has a new coachingstaff and experienced swimmers. Theboys team will be led by Myles andCooper Keener, Daniel Cashell, WillBerlage, and Patrick Fuller. ZacharyWong and Isaiah Valentine shouldemerge as key contributors.

St. Xavier High School’s swim teamhas, for a long time, held the state podi-um in a stranglehold. The Bombershave cultivated and sustained one ofthe most impressive programs the areahas ever seen.

Last season, St. Xavier won its sev-enth consecutive Division I state cham-pionship (36th all-time) and the Bomb-ers return buses full of top-tier talent inthe water.

The Bombers also rotated the coach-ing carousel this year. Longtime headcoach Jim Brower moved from thehead position to an assistant, to makeway for former assistant Tim Beermanto take over as head coach. Beermanwas previously a head coach at Ursu-line Academy.

“It’s worth mentioning that this teamis 100 members strong and while wecertainly can point to some of our topsswimmers at the state level,” Beermansaid, “the focus of the team is reallyabout helping everyone discover andreach the potential they have.”

Junior Grant House is with-out question the fastest swim-mer in state. House has al-ready won four individual statechampionships (two as a fresh-man, two as a sophomore), andhe’s helped on a number ofstate championship relayteams. Last year, he won the100 and 200 freestyle races atstate.

Senior Matt Slabe, also anindividual state qualifier,swam on the 400 freestylerelay team that won a statetitle last year. Junior LukeSobolewski’s another experi-enced swimmer who won astate title on the 200 medleyrelay last year. Junior CharlesLeibson was an individual statequalifier in two races last year,

and just finished helping theBombers win a water polostate championship. Sopho-more Justin Grender was an-other difference maker at statelast year, as was sophomoreNicholas Perera.

Beerman has also been veryimpressed by freshman JakeFoster.

“They’re just now learninghow good they can really be,”said Beerman. “Their effortlevel is off the charts in termsof what we’re asking of them.It is a talented team, but we’reexcited to see how far thattalent can take us as a team.We certainly hope with goodhealth and good training thatwe can return to state and dowell. There are any number ofindividuals (outside of theswimmers mentioned above)on this team who can contrib-ute to our success.”

12th last year, to runner-up is an amazing jour-ney. It’s such a special group of young ladies. Icouldn’t be more proud.”

The Bulldogs peppered the standings and iteventually came down to the last couple eventsbefore the Bears grabbed the lead andwouldn’t let go.

This year, SUA is looking to be as good orbetter. Sure, the team lost major influenceslike Marissa DelGado, but Gartner is hopefulthat the younger swimmers pick up DelGado’scharacteristics.

Five out of nine swimmers on last year’sstate team were freshmen or sophomores.

Josie Grote, Alexandra Wall, Anna DelGa-do, Molly Zilch, Hannah Foster and AshleyVoelkerding bring state experience into thisseason.

“The future is very bright,” Gartner said.“Hopefully, we use this as motivation to comeback here and do the best we can.”

Walnut Hills’ girls team graduated its twostate qualifiers, but returns an experiencedcore led by Casey Becker and Melanie Cashell.Emma Reed, Skye Lewis, Kara Benedict,

Shelly Gilman, and Shelby Ewing should stepup to fill the void left by the Eagles’ state par-ticipants. This year’s team is more experi-enced than last year’s squad and should fea-ture a deeper rotation of point-scorers.

“We are really looking forward to what thisseason is going to bring,” said Eagles coachJen Golden.

Audrey Capannari qualified for state lastseason in diving. She transferred from St.Ursula to Walnut Hills and could break theECC record set last season by Walnut’s JessicaDoughman.

Although they have expe-rienced an incredible seasonand now postseason action, theMVCA team is showing us whatimpact football can have onplayers’ lives. Their Fridaynight game against HillcrestAcademy just happened to bethe same evening the newmovie “Woodlawn” hit theaters.The movie conveys a compel-ling message of reconciliationthat fosters the mission of Hill-crest Academy in their endeav-or to restore the lives of youngmen.

The MVCA players arrangeda pregame movie/dinner eventfor their rival team. They tookthe guys from Hillcrest to seethe movie in hopes of makingtheir upcoming game one thatthese players would never for-get. Burgers and fries at RedRobin also provided one on oneinteraction and a chance for offthe field friendship.

MVCA cultivates a culture ofservant leadership. Athletic di-rector, Robert Vilardo said itwas a memorable evening.

“This type of sportsmanshippromotes and encourages therestoration of the player as awhole person and ultimately in-

creases self-value,” Vilardosaid. “Indelible wins are thosethat develop good character inathletes. That’s what we are

LET’S CONNECT:

Sharon Coolidge has been a reporterfor The Enquirer for 13 years, coveringcourts, police, Hamilton County and nowthe City of Cincinnati. She reports with aneye on what the community cares aboutand what it needs to know about howcitizens’ taxpayer dollars are spent.

But it’s not just money. She cares aboutthe community and is the voice for thosewho don’t have one, whether they arethe children of Millvale, the victims ofviolence or families without homes.

Make a credit card contribution online at Neediestkidsofall.com.

Neediest Kids of All is a non-profit corporation now in its 63rd year. Its principal place of business is Cincinnati, and it is registeredwith the Ohio Attorney General as a charitable trust. Contributions are deductible in accordance with applicable tax laws.

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.We need people to joinwith us and take an ac-

tive role in protectingtheir personal and fi-nancial data fromthieves.”

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 So-cial Security numbers.

People like Sandie, ofCincinnati, who wroteme, “Identity issue withIRS holding up 2014 re-fund payment that couldbe used toward eyetransplant medications.Calls to IRS since May tono avail, just extend

refunddate withanotherexcuse.”

It tookeightmonthsand a lot ofwork withthe IRSbeforeSandie

finally got her refund.That’s a little longer thanusual because the IRSsays the average waittime to get things clearedup is six months.

Then there’s Douglas,of Cincinnati, who wroteme, “My wife and I arebeing threatened by theIRS. Someone used mySocial Security numberin 2013 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 shockedthat the IRS can continueto harass 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 advo-cate who was able to sortthrough the fraud. Hehas now been creditedfor the money he paidand received refundchecks for 2013 and 2014.

The IRS its importantto protect your personalinformation by havingsecurity software onyour computers andbeing aware of phonyemails and phone scams.

For the 2016 tax filingseason there will be newstandards for loggingonto all tax softwareproducts including mini-mum password require-ments, new securityquestions and standardlockout features.

For the first time,refund fraud victims willbe able to request a copyof the fraudulent taxreturns filed by crookswho used their stolenidentities. The IRS saysthere will be partial orfull redaction of informa-tion on those tax returnsto protect additionalpossible victims.

However, it says,there will be enough datafor consumers to deter-mine how their personalinformation was used.
