North College HillHigh School junior JelaniMays said winning Youthof the Year is just firststep in what he hopes willbe a successful academiccareer.

“This is just the begin-ning forme,” he said. “It’sa real confidence build-er.”

The 16-year-old re-ceived theawardfromtheNorthwest ExchangeClub, a Cincinnati serviceorganization comprisedof six schools: Northwest,Colerain, North CollegeHill, Mount Healthy, LaSalle and McAuley highschools.

He won the Youth ofthe Month award for hisschool in November. Heand the five other month-

ly student winners had awrite an essay aboutyouth volunteerism andthen present it at anawards banquet to be con-sidered for the Youth ofthe Year award.

He said he was sur-prised to learn that he hadwon. “This girl fromMcAuley, she brought herA game. I guess I broughtmy A-plus game.”

The honors studentwho carries a 4.0 GPA isalso a math tutor, partici-pates in volunteer activ-ities including canned

food drives and raisingmoney for third worldcountries, is in studentgovernment and partici-pates in theFutureEduca-tors of America organiza-tion at school..

“My ambition is to be-come a math teacher or acollege math professor orstudy engineering,” hesaid. “I like teaching peo-ple.”

Mays said one of themost rewarding aspectsof being a math tutor iswatching people under-stand a concept because

he’s helped them.“I like watching the

light bulb go on in theirhead,” he said. “Plus, it’s achance for me to reviewmath concepts that helpme on tests.”

North College HillHigh School PrincipalAnnBrinkleysaidMays is“a high quality youngman.”

“He’s just a great kid,”she said. “He has his ownset of expectations and al-ways puts himself in a po-sition to succeed.”

It’s the fourth namechange since the complexopenedasForestFairMallin 1989. In 2004 it was re-named Cincinnati Mills,and five years later be-came Cincinnati Mall.That name stuck untilMarch 2012.

“No one knows us asCincinnati Mall. Peoplestill refer to us as ForestFair,” Ellsworth said.“We’re going away frombeing just a mall. Laterthis year you’ll see somesigns come down, andeventually new signs goup.”

As area schools sendthoughts and prayers tothe La Salle High Schoolcommunity after a stu-dent shot himself insidethe all-boys school, offi-cials at many schools areexamining the securityand safety procedures intheir own buildings.

Shortly after 9 a.m.Monday, April 29, a LaSalle junior pulled out ahandgun in his first-peri-odclassroomandattempt-ed to take his own life infront of his teacher andabout 20 classmates.

The school was imme-diately placed on lockdown and students wereushered to the gymnasi-um after the victim wastaken toUniversityofCin-cinnati Medical Center.

GreenTownshipPoliceChief BartWest saidthe schooldid a greatjob imple-mentingthe safety

plan it has on file with theOhio Attorney General’sOffice. Township officershave been walkingthrough all of the schoolbuildings in the townshipregularly so officers arefamiliar with the build-ings and their layouts andbegin to build relation-ships with students.

TheWintonWoodsCitySchool District is review-ing its existing securitymeasures and looking toupdatesystemsat thehighschool, interim superin-tendent Jim Smith said.

“We are studying sev-eral proposals that wouldsubstantially increase se-curity at our four-buildinghigh school campus thatwould be in place for the2013-2014 school year,” hesaid.

“While we currentlyhave an extensive camerasystem,weare looking forabetter systemto limitac-cess to the buildings dur-ing the school day. As toour other schools, we areable to lock those build-ingsdownandhaveacam-era/entrance system foreach.”

Deb Semenick, interimsuperintendent for theFinneytown Local SchoolDistrict, said there are se-cured entrances at thebuildings in the districtand they will continue towork with agencies andstaff to talk about suicide

prevention and where toget help.

“We are always sad-dened when there is anyviolence at a school andwe are all sensitive to thementalhealthneedsofourstudents,” she said.

“Beech Acres (Parent-

ing Center), in a partner-ship with us, offersschool-based therapy. Ad-ditionally, by law, everypublic school district nowoffers suicide preventiontraining for the staff.”

Mount Healthy CitySchool District Superin-

tendent Lori Handler saidshe is thankful the schooldistrict has new facilities.

“People have to bebuzzed to get into thebuildings and then have togo through the office,”Handler said. “The doorsremain locked and thereare cameras everywhere.We feel secure with thebuilding’s design, butwe’re constantly review-ing lock down proce-dures.”

She said the schoolshave regular drills to pre-pare for an emergency.“We’re also going to spendtime over the summermeeting with the MountHealthy and SpringfieldTownship police depart-ments to review our secu-rity and look at any wayswe can improve it.”

COLLEGECORNER

Each of two McAuley HighSchool Creative Cooking class-es had a team-building and cul-ture-awareness assignment re-cently.

Each “kitchen,” which con-sists of four to seven students,blindly chose a particular coun-try. They were given one classperiod to research online tradi-tional foods of their respectivecountries, select a recipe whichcould be completed in less than30minutes, anddivide upwhichstudentswouldbring in ingredi-ents.

Two days later, each kitchenmade their recipe, along with apaper flag of their chosen coun-try, to share with the entire

class. The resulting foods werevaried, colorful, and delicious.

The two kitchens who choseGermany made potato pan-cakes and noodles with poppyseeds. The two kitchens whoseassignment was China madeshrimp fried rice and orange/al-mondbiscuits.TheItaliankitch-ens created pizza and breadcrumbpasta.Representingfoodfrom Greece, two groups madeGreek pasta salad and Greekspinach flat bread.

SPRINGFIELD TWP. — The2013seasonhasbeenlikeagameof chess for St. Xavier volley-ball coach Bill Ferris.

After graduating all of hisstarters from his 16-6 team aseason ago, it’s been a seasonfull of moving parts trying tofind the right combination onthe court.

“I still don’t have all the an-swers, which is frustrating atthis point of the year,” the 2012Greater Catholic League SouthCoach of the Year said. “Theguys are doing well in practicebut it just doesn’t seem to betranslationhere in thegame.Wejust aren’t quite getting the re-sults we want when game timerolls around.”

His Bombers are 7-7 (1-4GCL) on the season with twomatches remaining in the regu-

lar season. Four of the team’sseven losseshavecomeineitherfour or five sets, which is some-thing Ferris expectedwith sucha balanced field in 2013.

“I knew from the outset thatwe were in the bubble of every-body that is competing,” thecoach said. “… It’s a year wherea lot of teams have a chance tobe good. I talk to (the team) a lotabout that.”

One of the Bombers whohelped the team reach a top 10ranking in the state is senior lib-ero Michael Spohr. No matterthe score or how his teammatesare playing, the senior leads byexampleandnevergetsdownona teammate.

“He’s definitely comfortablein that andwe need that,” Ferrissaid of Spohr’s leadership qual-ities. “…He’s theone that’s obvi-ously comfortable being morevocal.Heplayswellmost nightsso it’s easy for him to stay posi-tive and that’s really helpful be-cause he helps everyone elsestay positive.”

For Spohr, the idea of win-

ning no matter the situation iswhat drives him to be the playerhe is on the court.

“Mycoaches always stress tome to keep bringing the otherplayers up no matter what thescore is,” the senior said. “Al-ways try towin. There is alwayssome fight left in you.”

After facing seven teamsthat are either currently rankedor were ranked in the Division Iand II state polls this season andwith a matchup against BishopFenwick– theNo.1teaminDII –left on the schedule, Ferris isn’tworried about his guys beingoverwhelmed. For him, it isabout effort the rest of the sea-son.

“... We don’t need to think weare ever out of (a match) be-cause almost every team weplay will give us a chance to getback into the gameandgive us achancetogoonarunandmakeitcompetitive again,” he said. “Ifwe can stay up for that and stayprepared for that and take ad-vantage of that, then we have achance to be in those games.”

MT. HEALTHY — Track andfield isa family tradition in theDobbs family.

With a father who was astandout sprinter at Aiken, amother who took part in fieldevents while in high schooland a cousin who was a four-year state qualifier for With-row, it’s no surprise sopho-more LaShawnda Dobbs isrunning toward the statemeetfor the Mount Healthy LadyOwls.

Dobbs owns the fastesttime in the 100- and 200-meterdash events in the SouthwestOhio Conference, is rankedsecond in Region 4 (Cincin-nati/Dayton area) and has cutsignificant time from bothevents compared to last sea-son.

“She is down from a 12.6last year to a12.41 this year (inthe 100),” coach Thom Max-well said. “That’s good. Thatmeans she’s getting out of theblocks better and she’s strong-er. A year of growth made herstronger.”

Growing up at an elemen-tary school that didn’t offertrack, Dobbs’ track career gotoff to a late start. Shemade upfor that time in the backyardracing her father over andover and usually bring up therear in what were some com-petitive family sprints.

“Me and my dad would al-ways race each other,” she

said. “He would always winbut that’swhatmademereallywant todo track.He letmewinone time but that was becausehe acted like he pulled some-thing but we all knew hedidn’t.”

All that practice has paidoff so far.

As a freshmen, Dobbsearned Fort Ancient ValleyConference West DivisionAthlete of the Year honors af-ter winning the league title inboth the 100 and 200 as well asbeing part of the champion-ship 4x100-meter relay team.

“I was happy and I want itagain this year,” Dobbs said ofearning conference athlete ofthe year last season.

The sophomore parlayedher league success to a sec-ond-place finish at districts inthe100 anda sixth-place finishat theregionalmeet, justmiss-ing out on going to state by .06seconds.

“The funny thing is shewasn’t impressed with it atall,” Maxwell said. “She waskindofmadshedidn’tget togo(to state).”

Even with the disappoint-ment, Dobbs ismaking sure touse her close call from 2012 asa learningexperience this sea-son.

“Don’t eat a lot before youget there because you are go-ing to be nervous,” she said ofwhat she learned from lastyear’s postseason. “Don’tthink about it toomuch beforeyou run.”

Things did not lookgood at the beginning ofthe season, but suddenlythe La Salle High Schoolbaseball team found itsway.

As of May 2, the Lanc-ers had reeled off eightconsecutive victoriesleading intocrucialGreat-er Catholic League SouthshowdownsagainstMoell-er and St. Xavier.

“There are quite a fewguys contributing,” saidheadcoachJoeVoegele. “Iknow it is verymuch a cli-che, butwe arewinning asa team.”

A cadre of seniors tookcontrol of the team to fa-cilitate the turnaround af-ter a 4-8 start, Voegelesaid.

“They’ve kind of dedi-cated themselves to goingoutwithagoodseason,”hesaid. “We had a rough

start, lost a lot of one-rungames, but we seem tohave turned it around late-ly. We still have sometough games ahead, but Ilike thewaywe’re playingnow.

Probablyno surprise tofind a pair of NorthwestPress Sportsman of theYear candidates instru-mental in the new-foundsuccess. University ofDayton baseball recruitBrad Burkhart and Con-nor Speed are just two ofthe players who sparkedthe resurgence.

Other collegiateprospects like Bailey Ab-batiello (Thomas More),SamCranor(Wilmington),Tyler Haubner (Mount St.Joseph) and Ken Ruberg(Thomas More) adopted awinning attitude tracedback to Reed Rizzo, aLancer baseball playerwho died last June.

“Our identity is all to-gether,”Abbatiellosaid. “I

think the difference iswe’re playing as a team fi-nally. We’re finally play-ing Lancer baseball. Weremember what Reedshowed us. Every timewebreak, we say ‘Play like 4’(which was Rizzo’s uni-form number). He’s al-ways there with us.”

Speed sacrificed someprestige for the good ofthe team, moving into theninth position in the bat-ting order to give the bot-tomof the lineup some ad-ditional spark.

“I feel really comfort-able down there now,” hesaid. “Itwas (a tough tran-

sition) at first. I’d beenplaying varsity for twoyears andwashitting .300,but I’m really a big teamplayer and I wanted tohelp.NowifIgetonon,Ty-ler (Haubner,batting lead-off) has a chance to dosome damage.”

In fact, Haubner is hit-ting over .400 and is sec-ond on the team in RBI.

“He plays with a lot ofenergy,” Voegele said.“Once we made thatswitch, that’s when wereally started producingsome runs consistently.”

Burkhart leads theteam in RBI and preventsthe other team from get-tingmany. He is 5-1 on themound for theLancers, in-cluding a 5-0 mark in theGCL.

“This year he’s justbeen dominant,” Voegelesaid. “He had a gamewherehepitchedsevenin-nings and only threw 74pitches. It’s really been a

plus to have a stopper likehim, especially when wewere struggling early.”

“We were confident,maybe too confident,”Burkhart said. “In the be-ginningof theyearwejustthrewourglovesout thereand played like we de-served to win instead ofworkingtowin.Theseniorand captains said, ‘Wecan’t keep doing this andplay bad. We have to playevery game like it’s aGCLgame.’

“I feel like we’re in agreat position. If we keepdoing what we’re sup-posed to do every day, ifwe keep playing like 4,we’re very prepared tofinish strong and make agood run in the tourna-ment.”

Said Speed, “We onlyhave two or three weeksleft together. We knowhow lucky we are andwe’re trying to make themost of it.”

Does someone need memory care?Bridgeway Pointe, an as-

sisted living, respite, transi-tional and memory care facil-ity on the campus of DrakeCenter in Hartwell is prepar-ing for its open house on Sat-urday, May 11. The timing ofthis event is just right asgrowing numbers of olderadults are diagnosed withdementia or Alzheimer’s dis-ease. What’s concerning ismost people don’t know thesteps to take when they sus-pect someone may have cogni-tive or memory issues.

First, it’s important to un-derstand that dementia is aset of symptoms; it is not adisease. Other diseases cantrigger memory loss, includ-

ing vasculardementiacaused bystroke.

Alzheimer’sdisease (ab-normal build-up of proteinsin the brainthat impairbrain func-tioning) is the

most common cause of de-mentia. These proteins pro-duce plaques and tangles inthe brain. Some warning signsof Alzheimer’s disease mayinclude:

»memory loss,» difficulty performing

familiar tasks,

» poor judgment,» personality changes,» language problems, and» disorientation and navi-

gational problems.

Getting a properdiagnosis

There are many types andcauses of dementia. Unfortu-nately, many people withmemory issues are misdiag-nosed and therefore may notreceive the proper medicationor care. Various physical,emotional and/or lifestyleconditions can cause demen-tia-like symptoms, including:stress, malnutrition, medica-tions, depression, reaction to

anesthesia, vascular changesin the brain or fever.

For a proper diagnosis, it isimportant to receive a com-prehensive cognitive assess-ment from a neuropsychol-ogist to help identify the typeof dementia and its cause. Dr.Brendan Kelley, medical di-rector of the Memory Dis-orders Center within the Uni-versity of Cincinnati Neuro-science Institute, says, “Thismost likely will include aphysical exam, neuropsych-ological testing, brain imagingand laboratory tests run by adoctor who specializes inmemory disorders.”

Available support

Whether someone withdementia stays at home with acaretaker or lives in an assist-ed living environment (prefer-ably with a specially trainedstaff in memory care) the goalis to help each individual max-imize his/her health and qual-ity of life.

Assisted living facilitiesuse state-of-the-art technol-ogy to help people remain asindependent and highly func-tioning as possible. Of course,“high-tech” support is second-ary in importance to “high-touch,” compassionate care.

Each year millions of dogbites are reported in emer-gency rooms across the coun-try.

What is more troubling isthat children are most likely

to get bittenand most ofthose in-cidents occurfrom thefamily dog ora neighbor’sdog.

Thesebites do nothappen out ofthe blue.Dogs do not

use human language. Theyuse their bodies to tell uswhen they are happy, sad,frightened or angry. He maytell you he is content by hav-ing his mouth open and sway-ing his tail gently back andforth. He may tell you he isuncomfortable by yawning,looking away or closing hismouth and tensing his mus-cles. If he still cannot get youto leave him alone, he maysnarl or growl as a last resortbefore finally needing toresort to a bite to get him hismuch needed space.

A dog will bite when thereis a person or another animalwithin biting range after hehas tried to communicatenon-aggressively that he isnot comfortable, but hehasn’t been “listened to.”Biting is the last resort. Un-fortunately once a dog haslearned that biting is whatgets the scary provocativestimulus to move away, hewill begin to use that behav-ior more often.

Those bites can be pre-vented.

Socialization is so impor-tant from the moment youbring your dog or puppyhome, setting him up to havenothing but positive experi-ences with a variety of peo-ple and other dogs in a lot ofdifferent environments.Equally important is learninghow dogs communicate andhow dogs like to be inter-acted with.

Parents should pro-active-ly supervise while teaching

their children how to respectand empathize and play ap-propriately with their dog, aswell as teaching their dogthat good things happenaround their children. Byrecognizing dog body lan-guage, parents can monitortheir pet’s stress and warn-ing signs to take steps forredirecting either their kidsor their dog from the situa-tion.

Hugging, kissing, pinch-ing, chasing, straddling,dressing in clothes, poking,lying or straddling on, orchasing are just some of theactivities kids should not dowith or around their dog.Children should never takeanything – a toy, a shoe or abone – from their dog.

The family dog should alsohave a safety spot like acrate, a bed or a room wherehe knows he can go when hewants his own quiet “no dis-turb” time. Kids should betaught to leave him alonewhen he is there.

Additionally, parents anddog caregivers need to re-member that dogs need bothmental and physical stim-ulation. If they do not receivethose opportunities from you,they will find their own wayof burning off their energy.

Set yourself and your petup for success by trainingwith positive reinforcementstrategies that make learningfun. When you do that, youwill not only be preventingdog bites but strengtheningyour relationship as well.Isn’t that why you got a dogin the first place?

Charles and HenrietteFleischmann had three chil-dren; Betty, Max and Julius.They had many of their fa-ther’s characteristics. Theywere hard working, fun lovingand shared their wealth withothers.

Betty, the oldest, met Dr.Christian Holmes when hemade a house call to theirAvondale home in 1891. Theywere married a year later andhad three children Carl, Chris-tian and Julius. Together theystarted a small hospital in Cin-cinnati. Dr. Holmes was thedriving force behind creating ateaching hospital and medicalschool. He served as the deanof the medical school of theUniversity of Cincinnati from1912-1919. He worked tirelesslycollecting funds to staff andequip the Cincinnati GeneralHospital. After his death in1920, his wife donated largesums of money to buildHolmes Hospital in his honor.

WhenMax was a teenager,he went to work in the plant,learning the basics of the busi-ness. But his loves were reallysports and adventure. Heplayed semi-professional base-ball in Cincinnati, was an ama-teur boxer, polo and tennisplayers. Then he attended OhioMilitary Institute, and joinedup when the Spanish-AmericanWar broke out in 1898.

In 1897, Charles died andMax came back to run the

plant, but nev-er like it andconvinced hisbrother Juliusto becomepresident andhe becamevice president.Julius hadattendedHughes Highschool and

Franklin Prep School and wasbetter qualified. In 1902, thebrothers bought the CincinnatiReds with George B. Cox andAugust Hermann for $150,000.They built a training camp inFleischmann, N.Y., in the Cats-kill Mountains, where theirfather had built luxury hotels,swimming pools, golf coursesand fine restaurants. Juliusdonated the park to the city in1914, provided it would alwaysbe free to patrons.

In 1905, Max married SarahHamilton Sherlock a fellowadventurer. They had no chil-dren. The couple went on safa-ris and other exotic trips. Maxwent to the Santa Barbara Poloshow with his ponies and likedthe city. After he served inWorld War I in the BalloonSection of the Army Air Corpshe moved there and commutedto plants by rail car.

When Julius, took control ofthe company it blossomed. Notonly were the Fleischmannsmaking yeast, they operatingbakeries, distilled vinegar and

beer, various alcohols, gin andmargarine. The Fleischmann’spioneered mass marketing,couponing, give-away cook-books, trade cards, and bakingcontests.

A successful businessman,Julius was also a financier,sportsman and a mason. Alongwith the large yeast company,he was the president of numer-ous businesses and belonged toseveral men’s clubs includingthe Cincinnati Chamber ofCommerce. He was a delegateto the Republican NationalConvention in 1904, 1908 and1916, and was Cincinnati’s rich-est and youngest mayor from1900-1904. He took a greatinterest in the police depart-ment, public schools and im-proved the railroad systems.

On April 8, Julius marriedLillie Ackerman. They hadthree children Louise, Charlesand Julius Jr., and moved to a1,600-acre estate in Indian Hillnext to John Emery’s 1,000-acre estate. Julius divorcedLillie and married Laura Hem-ingway in 1920, and theymoved to New York, where hedied in 1925. Max ran the com-pany from California until hisdeath in 1951.

The McAuley High Schoolmock trial team recently ad-vanced to regional High SchoolMock Trial competition for thefirst time in several years andwon two honors there, awardsfor Best Attorney and BestWit-ness.

Each year, the CincinnatiBar Association’s Young Law-yers Section, through fundingfrom the Cincinnati Bar Foun-dation, hosts a mock trial com-petition for area high schools.Approximately 50 teams from25 schools prepare a case fortrial. Volunteer attorneys coachthe students and serve asjudges on the competitionnights at the Hamilton CountyCourthouse. Teams advancefrom districts to regionals.

The McAuley team, underthe direction of attorney advis-er Dennis Halaby and Pat

Basler,McAuley teacherwhoseclasses include law, govern-ment and history of Cincinnati,began preparing for mock trialin late September. They weregiven details about a “case,”then researched and practicedtheir arguments/testimonies.Some students were witnesses;otherswereattorneys.Thecasethis year involved a studentwho was accused of starting afire at her high school mainte-nance building that resulted inthe death of the custodian.

The volunteer attorneyswhoact as judges grade the teamsand individual students on suchthings as their demeanor, howwell prepared they are, howthey handle cross examinationand howwell themake and dealwith objections.

Senior Caili Martin, daugh-ter of Linda Martin of College

Hill, won the Best Attorneyaward. She also won the awardat the district contest, and won

Best Witness a junior.Martin said that the judges’

comments included that she did

well thinkingon thespotanddidnot sound scriptedwhen she ar-guedorquestioned. Sheplans topursue a career in pediatric orneonatal nursing.

The regional Best Witness,and also the district Best Wit-ness, was sophomore MaggieMahoney, who earned these ti-tles because of the believabilityin her witness portrayal. Shelives in White Oak and is thedaughter of Mark and JennyMahoney.

Mahoney joined the mocktrial team because she is a partof McAuley’s Women in Lawprogram.

“I have definitely gotten abetter insight into the law andhowreal cases and trialswork. Ihave gained a big respect forjudges and attorneys and ev-eryone involved,” Mahoneysaid.

In gift shops, partysupply stores and thelike, it seems the nationhas been swept withmustache madness.Drawing on the pop cul-ture phenomenon, orga-nizers of this year’s Cin-cItalia have tapped Cin-cinnati’s most recog-nized mustachioedfellow to help judge thefirst-ever CincItaliaMustache Contest: Mr.Redlegs.

The contest takesplace on the CincItaliaMain Stage at 4:30 p.m.Sunday, May 19. Thoseinterested in competingcan register on-site atthe festival, so startgrowing.

Now, we “mustache”you a question: did youknow that mostacciolitranslated means “littlemustaches?” Frommeatballs andmarinarato penne and parmesia-na, an Italian feastawaits at CincItalia.

The fourth annualCincItalia kicks off onFriday, May 17 with theadults-only Carne-vale celebration (6p.m.-midnight) andfollows with a week-end full of family funfrom3p.m.-midnightSaturday, May 18,and 1-9 p.m. Sunday,May 19, at the Har-vestHomeParkFair-grounds, 3961 NorthBend Road.

CincItalia is pro-duced by St. Cathar-ine of Siena Parishand School. St. Ca-tharine of Siena isone of two patronsaints of Italy, mak-ing a traditional cele-bration of Italian cul-ture a natural way tohonor this connec-tion. Funds raisedover the three-daycelebration will al-low St. Catharine ofSiena Parish andSchool to continue toprovide for the spiri-tual and educationalneeds of the West-wood community.

The festival’s foodofferings and cookingdemonstrations are notto be missed. Cuisinefrom some of GreaterCincinnati’s most popu-lar Italian restaurantswill be offered through-out the three-day festi-val, and local chefs likethe LaRosa’s and Gio-vanna Delli CarpiniTrimpe (author of the“Holy Chow” cookbook)will prepare Italian fa-vorites forCincItalia at-tendees.Backagain thisyear are the women ofLa Societa FuscaldeseFemminile, with theircannoli and other bakedgoods.

Inaddition to theCin-cItalia mustache con-test, other Sunday fea-tures include a tradi-tional Marian proces-sion with blessing andItalian Auto Show.

Hunger stat No. 875:one in six Americansdon’t know where theirnext meal will comefrom.

You can help StampOut Hunger on Saturday,May 11, as letter carriersin Greater Cincinnati andNorthern Kentucky col-lect non-perishable foodforarea familiesand indi-viduals.

Contributing to thisNational Association ofLetterCarriers21stannu-al Stamp Out HungerFood Drive is easy. Resi-dents simply leave non-perishable food dona-tions near their mailboxbefore their lettercarrierarrives. The carriers willpick up the food as theymake their deliveries andtransport it to UnitedWay agency partners.

“In too many of the

communities we servesix days a week, hungerremains a huge chal-lenge,” NALC presidentFredric Rolando said.“That’s why each year, onthe second Saturday inMay, thousands of lettercarriers enlist the help offamilymembers, friends,co-workers, and man-agers to participate in thelargest one-day food-col-lection drive in Ameri-ca—our sincere effort tomake a real difference.”

This is also the largestone-day food drive inGreater Cincinnati. Localvolunteers from the Post-al Service, CincinnatiAFL-CIO Labor Counciland UnitedWay of Great-er Cincinnati will helpstock the food in pantriesfor the summermonths, atime when donations aretypically low.

Last year,more 70mil-lion pounds of non-per-ishable food items werecollected nationally, theninth consecutive yearthat collections topped

the 70 million mark andbringing the grand totalto nearly 1.2 billionpounds collected sincethe national drive beganin 1993.

Retail health clinicsare rapidly expandingacross the country; thereare more than 1,200 ofthem today.

They provide much-needed health care tomany, including thosewho don’t have a primarycare physician. But becareful, not all insurancepolicies will cover theirservices.

Health clinics can befound at Walmart, Target,CVS, Walgreens andKroger supermarkets.Greg Johnson, of Butler,Ky., visited one suchclinic earlier this year for

a sinusinfection.He wentduring hislunchbreak. “Ittook 20minutes orso. Theygave me aprescrip-tion. I got

the prescription filledand it was really fast andeasy,” he said.

Johnson went to TheLittle Clinic at Kroger inCold Spring and paid withhis insurance card. A fewweeks later, “I get the

statement frommy insur-ance company. My insur-ance has denied me cov-erage. They say they’vedeclined the paymentbecause it is a nursepractitioner, not a doc-tor,” he said.

In fact, all these retailclinics are staffed byeither nurse practitionersor physician assistants.Johnson said they reallydo provide a valuableservice. He not only wentto the clinic for himself,he said his wife and childhave gone there as wellbecause it’s so conve-nient.

“If you have childrenand your children getsick at 6 o’clock at nightyou don’t want to takethem to the emergencyroom because it’s not anemergency. The clinicsare typically open 7, 8, 9o’clock at night, so itcreates a conveniencething too for you withyour children,” Johnsonsaid.

In addition, Johnsonsaid such clinics can beless expensive than goingto a doctor’s office. “Ilooked at the rates onlineand it says $85. My doc-tor charges my insurance

$140, so I thought it wasgoing to cost memy $15co-pay. But it was actu-ally going to save theinsurance company somemoney.”

Johnson said his fa-ther checked with hisinsurance company andlearned it too specificallyexcludes payments tosuch health clinics. ButThe Little Clinic, which isowned by Kroger, sayswhile some insurancepolicies don’t cover itsservices, more than threedozen companies acceptit – and that’s just in Cin-cinnati. It has clinics in

several cities around thecountry.

The Little Clinic,which has been in opera-tion since 2000, says 70percent of its patientshave insurance while 30percent do not. The bigthing is, although thesehealth care clinics aremeeting an unmet need,you need to check now tosee whether or not yourinsurance plan will coverthem.
