MIAMI TWP. — A companyspecializing in the developmentof high-performance polymersis moving operations to MiamiTownship.

Bioformix Inc. will employabout 25 people initially at itscorporate headquarters and re-search center at 422 Wards Cor-ner Road.

The company has committedto create 43 new jobs during thenext three years.

Adam Malofsky, presidentand CEO of Bioformix, said thecompany plans to move about 10employees from facilities inConnecticut to Miami Townshipby May or June.

The rest of the jobs will benew hires, he said.

“We picked Ohio because

Ohio is much more businessfriendly than Connecticut,” Mal-ofsky said.

He said the company willmaintain a smaller presence inConnecticut, but will conductmost of its operations in Miami

Township.He said the new location near

Interstate 275 was picked be-cause it was near a major high-way and because Miami Town-ship has no income tax.

Malofsky said there is about

24,000 square feet of space at thenew facility, with an option to ex-pand.

The company specializes inthe development of plastic prod-ucts that save energy in manu-facturing, he said.

Malofsky said Bioformixdoes not do any manufacturingitself, just research and develop-ment.

Adele Evans, a developmentspecialist with the ClermontCounty Department of Commu-nity Planning and Development,said Ohio awarded Bioformix aneight-year state tax credit equalto 50 percent of state income tax-es withheld on new employees.

A $33,333 grant from theSouthern Ohio Agricultural andCommunity Development Foun-dation will be used to buy high-end research equipment, shesaid.

LOVELAND — Loveland CityManager Tom Carroll says a“near-perfect storm” of prob-lems led to a water main breakthat illustrates how badly thecity needs a second water towerin the Loveland Commerce Park.

Carroll said the existing tow-er there drained last Sept. 2 afterwater punched a grapefruit-sized hole in a main six feet un-der Rich Road - poweringthrough concrete, compactedgravel and asphalt before erupt-ing from a crack in a150-foot sec-tion of roadway that had beenpushed up more than 18 inches.

During the 14 hours it tookLoveland crews to find and fixthe broken main, Carroll said,the Lever Park water tower -which feeds the Rich Road area -eventually needed help from theLoveland Commerce Park watertower that it could not give.

For the first time in at least 10years and perhaps ever, Love-land was forced to tap into itsemergency connection with theGreater Cincinnati Water Works,which was having water-pres-sure problems of its own thatday, Carroll said.

“The possibility of a perfectstorm is not hard to contemplate,since the only missing ingredientthat day was fire in the Com-merce Park or other location inthat pressure zone,” Carroll said.

Loveland staff is trying tocome up with a way to fund a sec-ond Loveland Commerce Parkwater tower - estimated to cost

$2.5 million - that Loveland CityCouncil will embrace.

Staff is recommending citycouncil raise water rates 15 per-cent in 2014 and three percentper year thereafter through2019.

Then, staff says, Lovelandcould reduce water rates by 20percent in 2020, when the citywill have paid off debt issuedyears ago to build water towersin Phillips Park and the White Pil-lars neighborhood.

Under this scenario, Love-land’s standard quarterly resi-dential water bill initially wouldjump $9.18 to a new total of$70.42.

Carroll has forwarded thisfunding proposal and three otheroptions to the city’s finance com-mittee, which will make a recom-mendation to Loveland CityCouncil.

City Councilman Brent Zuchis a member of the Finance Com-mittee and says the committee

may make a decision at its meet-ing Monday, March 12.

“I have advocated for ‘wrap-around’ financing that would al-low for minimal payments untilthe existing debt on the WhitePillars water tower is retired in2019, then pays it more aggres-sively at that time,” Zuch said.

“This would allow for minimalrate increases in the meantime.

“Our code currently only al-

Carroll said LovelandCity Council will discussthe issue Tuesday, March13, and could consider leg-islation Tuesday, March27.

Carroll also said Love-land officials identifiedthe need to build a secondtower at the LovelandCommerce Park in 2007.The Commerce Park is inthe northwest corner ofthe city, off Union Ceme-

tery Road and near Mont-gomery Road.

Here are three otherfunding proposals for asecond water tower at theLoveland Commerce Parksuggested by Lovelandcity staff:

» Raise water rates 4percent per year throughat least 2020 and, if Love-land City Council decidesto put an income tax hikeon the November ballotand it passes, use some ofany modest surplus it maygenerate.

» Raise water rates 4percent per year and usesome capital reserves.

» Raise water rates 6percent in both 2014 and2015 and 5 percent through2018 and use some capitalreserves, but not as muchas in the preceding scenar-io.

Thirty-seven Ursuline Acad-emy students, along with teacherand parent chaperones, partici-pated in the national March forLife Jan. 23 in Washington, D.C.

"As Catholics we recognizethat life is sacred from concep-tion until natural death,” religionteacher Ruthie Hurley said.“This is our consistent ethic oflife that we value. By participat-ing in the March for Life, stu-dents give voice to this value,walking through the streets ofthe Capitol with thousands ofothers. Through their participa-tion, students declare the valueof each unborn child and affirmthe gift of life. It was a powerfuland moving experience to partic-ipate in the Youth Mass and Rallyprior to the March, and theMarch itself with our students.”

Junior Lauren Tassone ofHyde Park was one of those stu-dents who was deeply moved bythe experience.

“When we attended the Youth

Rally and Mass, I was over-whelmed by the power of Godpresent at the Verizon Center.There was an immense magni-tude of pro-lifers, and it feltamazing to be surrounded bypeople sharing the same passionas me. I was most inspired by therally because of all the people,the music and the speakers.”

In January 1974 the firstMarch for Life was held on theWest Steps of the Capitol. Ap-proximately 20,000 prolifeAmericans rallied that day on be-half of all unborn children. TheMarch has continued as an annu-al event and has drawn prolifeproponents from all parts of theUnited States, including not onlyadults, but school-aged childrenas well.

“I had an amazing experienceat the March. I have always beenpro-life, but my stance was sig-nificantly strengthened when Iwas granted the opportunity tostand alongside my Ursuline sis-

ters and millions of other peoplefighting for this cause. I felt in-credibly empowered, and I knowif we continue to fight, united un-der God and through our beliefs,we can change the world andsave millions of lives. I definite-ly plan to attend the March forLife in the future, and I am grate-ful to Ursuline for this opportu-nity,” said senior Alex Kalkhoffof West Chester Township.

Although grateful to havebeen a part of the March, class-mate Katie Smith of Montgome-ry was disturbed by the hardfacts she learned during theMarch.

"The fact that 4,000 babies areaborted each day is the most dis-turbing fact I learned. I was alsogreatly disturbed by the power-ful images and videos that wesaw along the March. All of themwere very poignant and althoughsome of them were rather horrif-ic, they only made me supportthe pro-life cause even more.”

Ursuline Academy students who participated in the March For Life include, from left: front, Erin Frey(Springfield Township), Kelly Gusweiler (Sycamore Township), Sarah Connaughton (Sharonville), KatelynNartker (Liberty Township) and Jenny Whang (Sycamore Township); back, Anna Jonas (West ChesterTownship), Molly Roberts (Loveland), Rachel Jones (Loveland), Michelle Hricovsky (Sycamore Township),Megan Ellis (Mason), Rachel Entrup (West Chester Township), Alyssa Stein (West Chester Township), Grace C.Robinson (Middletown), Zoe Altenau (Anderson Township), Catherine Strietmann (Mount Lookout) andSusan Morand (Loveland).

LOVELAND — A pair of Love-land High School swimmers madethe trek to Canton to compete inthe Division I state swim meetFeb. 22-25.

Coach Emily Courtney accom-panied sophomore Kate Randall,who qualified in the 500 freestyle,and senior Andrew Albert, whoadvanced in the 100 freestyle and200 individual medley.

Albert figured to be at state allalong and trains at the Blue AshYMCA where Moeller coach BillWhatley is also the director ofcompetitive swimming. After Al-bert’s dueling races, he oftenfaces dueling coaches, albeit withthe same motivation.

“We both stand there watchinghim and he has to talk to both of usafter the races,” Courtney saidlaughing.

For the most part, Albert is aneasy student. He swims and thecoaches watch and offer up con-gratulations.

“He worked really hard andthere’s not much I had to correcthim on,” Courtney said. “He haspracticedsixdaysaweekintheaf-ternoon and three days (in addi-

tion) in the afternoon.”Going into the weekend at the

C.T. Branin Natatorium, Courtneysaid Albert’s best event was the200 IM.

In the difficult Division I statecompetition, Albert was 19th inthe medley race with a1:58.35. Hefinished 23rd in the 100 freestyleat 48.50.

Randall also trains away fromLoveland at Cincinnati AquaticClub with coach Benson Spurling.As is the case with most clubswimmers in the area, the high

school coach usually is only in-volved on meet day.

Randallwasonarelaylastyearat state and this was her first yearindividually. Courtney’s “peptalk” for the sophomore was a lit-tle different than what she wouldtell an upperclassman.

“She was the last qualifier,”Courtney said. “We just made abig deal about her being a sopho-more and making state. It’s prettyunbelievable.”

In the crowded pool at Canton,Randall finished 23rd at 5:16.19.

With two years to go, Courtneybelieves Randall has the mentalcomposuretoreturnandimprove.The coach is proud of the poiseshe’s exhibited all season long.

“It’s insane!” Courtney said.“She (Randall) is one of the mosteven-keeled girls I’ve ever beenaround. She just doesn’t get riledup or nervous. She knows whatshe needs to do.”

Courtney looks forward to hav-ingRandallbackformorestateat-tempts, along with sophomoresMegan Day and Audrey Jewell.

Those three swam the 200 medleyrelay with senior Dani Wheelerthis season. While11th place out of24 at the district meet didn’t ad-vance the quartet, the Lovelandcoach sees better finishes in thefuture for her returning stand-outs.

“They are promising,” Court-ney said of the group.

In diving, four-time Fort An-cient Valley Conference champMatt Swaine finished 18th in thestate competition. Swaine is mov-ing on to dive for Delta State.

BLUE ASH — This is what Ur-suline Academy swimmerswait for all year.

Sure, dual meets, the leaguechampionships and the firsttwo rounds of the postseasonare competitive, but state iswhat it’s all about.

And the Lions didn’t disap-point as the squad left its markon the state championships,which were at Canton’s C.T.Branin Natatorium Feb. 22-25.

Ursuline placed second inthe team standings, while ju-nior Bridget Blood (100 breast-stroke, 200 IM) and sophomoreEmily Slabe (100 backstroke)won individual state champion-ships.

In relays, Slabe, Blood, sen-ior Corinne Jenkins and sopho-more Temarie Tomley cruisedto a second straight champion-ship in the 200 medley eventand set a state meet record fora second straight day. They fin-ished in 1:42.51, nearly threeseconds ahead of second-place

Upper Arlington (1:45.15).Ursuline had set the previ-

ous record of 1:42.98 in the pre-liminary round Friday.

“This was by far the fastestwe’ve gone all season,” Jenkinssaid. “It felt great. And the en-ergy is great because we’ve gotall the girls behind us and thathelps so much.”

The performances cementUrsuline’s standing as one ofthe state’s top swimming pro-grams.

The Lions went to state asthe district champion – a titlethe school’s claimed for threeof the past five seasons. Earlier

in the year, the Lions picked uptheir 28th Girls’ Greater Cin-cinnati League championship.

Ursuline head coach BradIsham believes the program’shistory gives his swimmers asense of pride in the pool.

“There is a lot of pride andthey take it seriously to repre-sent Ursluine well and to havethe success that is expected be-ing at Ursuline,” he said.

The championships andteam standing vindcated the ef-forts put forth during the 2011-2012 campaign, according toIsham.

“These girls put in a wholelot of hard work...,” he said.

Slabe was voted the meet’stop swimmer as she defendedher back backstroke champion-ship. “I was just going in reallyconfident. Last year I was allnerves because I was this littlefreshman. This year I was real-ly confident. I knew I had girlsthat were gunning for me, but Istayed confident and I swammy own race.”

UA makes a wake at stateBy Nick [email protected]

MONTGOMERY — Moellerhead coach Bill Whatley hadswimmers in nearly every Divi-sion I final the evening of Feb.25, but the highlight event wasthe 100 backstroke.

That’s when Moeller seniorHarry Hamiter ripped throughthe waters of the C.T. BraninNatatorium 100 yards back-wards quicker than his sevenopponents in the final. In 50.53seconds, Hamiter realized adream and brought home a statetitle to the school off Montgo-mery Road.

“That’s been his goal sincehe got here, all four years,”Whatley said.

Hamiter went out with a24.39 split and held off compet-itors from Beavercreek, Lan-caster and St. Xavier.

“It was a fairly close race,”Whatley said. “There was a tiefor second and a guy right be-hind them for third, but Harrybroke ahead of them.”

It was a busy meet for Ham-iter, who also was on Moeller’s200 and 400 freestyle and 200medley relay teams. The 200quartet finished 14th, while thegroup of Hamiter and fellow

seniors Matt Hobler, ChristianJosephson and Christian Foosplaced sixth in the 200 medleyand seventh in the 400 free.

“He was in all three relaysand he was first in all three re-lays,” Whatley said. “He had agreat last meet.”

Other individual efforts in-cluded Christian Josephson’sfifth-place finish in the 100 fly,Hobler was 16th in the 50 freeand freshman Kevin Georgewas 16th and 13th in the 200 and500 freestyle, respectively.

Here are a few examples ofthings you know or understandbecause an Enquirer journalistwas on the job:

» That Cincinnati police oftenstart police chases that violatetheir own policies.

» More school districts thanever are closing school buildingsbecause of the recession. Theyused to only close buildings ifenrollment fell.

» About half the companiesthat received state tax moneydidn’t create the jobs they promis-ed.

» The biggest pot of federalstimulus money for our regionpaid for the new Duke Energyelectric meter system. The stimu-lus program here protected thou-sands of jobs for a couple yearsbut it’s unclear that it createdmany.

I could go on and on.I hope the community never

takes for granted the Enquirerstorytellers who touch our con-sciences and prompt people to act- journalists like Krista Ramseyand Michael Keating.

This week, Gannett announcedthat its news organizations, in-cluding the Enquirer, will move toa paid subscription model in thenext year.

It is important to change ourbusiness model as technology andyour behavior changes. You havebeen accustomed to paying for adaily print newspaper, and thatcirculation revenue has been animportant part of the businessmodel, in combination with ad-vertising. But as more of youmove to the web and smartphonesand tablets, print subscribers andadvertisers are now paying forcontent that digital readers aregetting for free. It doesn’t take aFortune 500 chief financial offi-

cer to see that isn’t sustainable.Some of you commented this

week that you can get contentelsewhere. Well, the most impor-tant work we do for you is not

somethingothers are pro-ducing. Andnobody doesthis work forfree.

We pay wellmore than100journalists to dothings no oneelse does. To beat city hall andwith countycommissioners

every day, meeting or no meeting.To be with the Reds and Bengalsand UC and Xavier virtuallyevery day, game or no game. Tocover more than 70 communitiesin our region, every day. To me-thodically track and read boringbut important documents andbudgets. To get to know the deci-sion makers and understand theirpersonalities and motivations andrelationships.

We do this work so you don’thave to. You can watch city coun-cil meetings on public access TVbut most of you don’t. And even ifyou did, that often is not wherethe real news happens. We arethere when you aren’t, we arewhere the news happens. Reliablyand consistently, for you.

Even when you could get in-formation elsewhere, we help youget it easier or faster. You can goto cincinnati.com to find a fish fry.Well, you can do some of thatthrough word of mouth or a flierat church. Or you can can seedozens using our interactive map.You can find things to do thisweekend in a lot of places. But ifyou don’t want to miss music that

Janelle Gelfand knows or the newrestaurant that Polly Campbellknows or you want to see manymore options than your usualchoices, cincinnati.com’s enter-tainment section is packed.

Here are key points about howthis will work:

» Your subscription to theEnquirer will always include fullaccess to the web, mobile site,iPhone and Android apps, a tabletproduct and the e-newspaper,which is an exact replica of thedaily print newspaper that youcan page through online.

» The home page, sectionfronts, obituaries and classifiedsections like cars.com will remainfree.

» You can read a limited num-ber of articles for free before youare asked to subscribe. Thatdoesn’t charge the infrequentreader but does ask regular read-ers to pay.

» If you receive a weeklycommunity newspaper like thisone and want to regularly readdigital content, you will buy adigital subscription.

I know we must give you im-portant, unique content that helpsyou speak up to your electedofficials, know how schoolchanges will affect your kids, planyour weekend and participate inefforts to improve quality of lifein your neighborhood. We balancethat with inspiring and beautifulstories and photography.

I think that’s worth paying for.Let me know when you see us

do something you value, to help uskeep doing it. And let me knowwhat else you need from us.

Last week’s questionWhat changes, if any, would

you make to the current primaryelection process?

“The answer is so simple thatmany politicians won’t be able tograsp it: Hold all primary elec-tionsonthesameday,nationwide.Preferably close to tax day, April15.”

J.J.

“I would enact legislation thatwould require that primaries beheldonthesamedate inallstates,so that early returns in thoseplaces where the elections areheld earlier in the year would nothavesuchanunfair impactontheoutcome.”

Bill B.

“Lots! Clearly this processwas designed when the only wayto get your message out was trav-el by horseback or iron horse.Then it needed to be protracted.

“Todaythemessageisdissem-inated by TV and the Internet, sowe can contract it to a month atthe most. Lots of advantages. Itwould clearly be one message forthe nation, not a message that ishoned for a particular state, yetheard everywhere so that wedon't know for sure what a candi-date believes because all of themhave 50 different spins.

“Also, it would be a whole lotcheaper, so the mega-donors to

thePACscouldpaythedifferenceinto the federal coffers and helpthe deficit a little bit and I couldstop muting their ads.

“Ifwetookthesamestepswiththegeneralelectionprocess, thenwe could reasonably expect ourgovernment to spend far moretime working on the nation'sproblems, and far less in cam-paign mode.”

D.R.

“I don't see any way around it.Howelsecanweweedoutthelessdesirable candidates and end upwith one that has a chance to beattheopposingparty'schoice?Plus,all thatadvertising isgoodfor theeconomy.”

It’s election season again,and we are all subjected toendless reporting in distantstates of who said what, whenand where.

As a people, I don’t think weare against the news itself. Ithink we are all insulted by thehypocrisy of some of the poli-ticians and political trends outthere.

To state the obvious, there isNewt Gingrich, hypocrite ex-traordinaire, who persecutedBill Clinton for sexual mis-conduct while having an affairof his own. He is a serial adul-terer and a small-time profes-sor who portrays himself assome kind of conservativesuper intellectual. He is nei-ther conservative in his privatelife nor super anything exceptsuper disagreeable.

In a more mundane ex-ample, I recently saw, at a “bigbox” store parking lot, a carfestooned with American flags,“Don’t tread on me” and “Takeback America” stickers, fromfront to rear, in and out.

“Wow”, I thought, “thatperson has some very strongnationalist and patrioticviews.” When I got nearer Isaw the car was a Toyota. Yep,another case of hypocrisy orignorance, I don’t know which.

How about the bailouts? Iheard plenty of hot air over theyears coming from supporterof free markets about how weshould let the market do whatit does best, and keep the gov-ernment out of business. Well,unless it is my bank that lookslike it will fail – why in thatcase, all hands on deck, startthe money presses becausegovernment needs to help usout.

Few people realize that thebanking crisis of 2008-2009 wasthe first time that the FDICwas not used as an instrumentof the free market economysince its inception, lettingbanks fail and protecting theaccount holders. Somehow,

hypocrites who always shouteddown government involvementwere begging for their survivaland we paid the bill, deftlysidestepping the always touted“market forces.”

Now that they have themoney, these same hypocritesare denouncing new regulationas “government intervention.”So now banks are so powerfulthey can pick and choose what

kind of in-terventionthey want?This is dan-gerous in-deed.

These arethe things thatare makingAmericansmad - andunderstand-ably so. Nei-

ther party in Washington un-derstands that we understandthe shenanigans and hypocrisy.But the signs are everywherethat we not only get the hypoc-risy but we are angry. OccupyWall Street is an early attemptto wake this nation up, and willbe followed by other move-ments, some increasingly rad-ical, no doubt.

The nation has realized thatit is not a question of Repub-licans or Democrats, left orright, but indeed is a questionof demanding that governmentbe run by people who do whatis right.

By and large the majority ofAmericans are independentand increasingly so. Pursuingbi-partisan politics in Washing-ton therefore alienates moreand more of the majority eachday and is a political dead endfor the current crop of finger-pointing, just say no politi-cians.

What we need is inspiringleaders, not insulting losers.

It’s maple syrup time!When our boys were

little we drilled a hole inone of our sugar maples,put a homemade spile in

it, andhung abucket togatherwhat weknewwould begallons ofsap. Well,somethingwasn’tright withour proc-

ess and we got just drib-bles. After that experi-ence, I decided the gro-cery was my best sourcefor pure maple syrup.

Since I have so manyreader requests, I’m usingcolumn space for requestsinstead of several recipes.

Rita’sCan’t-Quit-EatingChunky MapleGranola

For years I’ve beentrying to make chunkygranola, adding dry milk,extra honey, you name it,without success. Leave itto Cook’s Illustrated todevelop a technique thatworks. Here’s my adapta-tion. Don’t get timid aboutadding flax and chiaseeds. They’re optional,but huge sources of Ome-ga 3, the chia in partic-ular, and are really tasty.It’s easy to eat, beingchunky and all, thus thename. I’m going to trythis technique with myother granola recipes.Check out my blog atCincinnati.com for step-

by-step photos.Coating:

1⁄3 cup pure maple syrup (Iused Kroger PrivateSelection)

1⁄3 to ½ cup packed darkbrown sugar

¼ teaspoon salt1 tablespoon vanilla½ teaspoon almond extract¼ cup soybean or canola oil¼ cup olive oil

Granola:Mix together

5 cups old-fashioned rolledoats

2 tablespoons flax seeds(optional)

¼ cup chia seeds (optional)2 cups sliced or slivered

almonds

Add after baking:

2 cups dried cherries(optional)

Line a large cookiesheet with parchmentpaper or spray with cook-ing spray. Preheat oven to325. Whisk syrup, sugar,salt and extracts together,then whisk in oils. Pour

over oat mixture and mix.Pour onto cookie sheetwith sides in thin, evenlayer and press mixturedown until very compact.That’s the key to chunkygranola. Bake 35-40 min-utes, rotating pan halfwaythrough. Remove and coolto room temperature.Break into desiredchunks. Stir in fruit.

Tips:Use favorite nuts and

fruit, or no fruit.Use light brown sugar,

and all canola or soybeanoil.

Omit almond extractand increase vanilla to 4teaspoons.

Can you help?Le Boxx Café’s chicken

chili for Thelma and sev-eral other readers who

can’t get enough of thisspicy chili. I stopped andtalked with Dave Arm-strong, proprietor, whocouldn’t share the recipe.His chef, Franklin, makes10 gallons about everyother day. It’s that pop-ular. “Lots of chickenbreast, canned black-eyedpeas, chili powder, chick-en base, heavy cream,celery, onions, yellow andred bell peppers, andjalapeños,” he said. Hisroux is butter and flour,and olive oil.

Have a similar recipe?Please share.

Check out the chili –see how thick it is. I canattest to its “yummy fac-tor.” I’m now addicted,too. Their Caribbeanchicken is a close second.

Like O’Charley’s broc-coli cheese casserole forSharon.

Like Subway cookies.Easy punch recipes for

Charlene, who made mypunch recipe with gingerale and iced tea. “Every-one loved it.” She needs

easy ones like this for awomen’s club.

Cinnamon coffecakelike Thriftway groceryfor Rose of Cold Springs.“Also roll recipes withcoconut or peanuts andicing.”

Substitution for al-mond or rice milk inbaking for Carol, who islactose intolerant. “Thesemilks don’t work well,”she said.

Like Mount Washing-ton Bakery & CreamyWhip cinnamon squares.I get requests for itemsfrom this iconic bakeryall the time. The squareshave been topping the list.For a reader who thoughtthis bakery closed. Thereader said: “I’ve triedGraeter’s and other bak-eries, but they just don’ttaste the same.”

I spoke with Nick Ga-nim, owner, and he as-sured me they are stilloperating but closed untilApril (it's a combo bakeryand creamy whip) andwhen he re-opens in Aprilthe cinnamon squares,along with all cookies,etc., will be available. Callahead to set some aside.Nick uses yeasted Danishdough for cinnamonsquares, so if you have asimilar recipe, pleaseshare. Otherwise, you canalways enjoy them at thisMount Washington trea-sure.

NON-DENOMINATIONAL

Whenever my 5-year-old granddaughtercomes over, the firstwords out of her mouthare, “Will you play withme?” My husband isusually the first one sheasks because he’s a bigkid at heart and loves toplay. Before long theirimaginations are in highgear as they invent newways to play old games.Once, while they were

buildingtheworld’stallestLEGOtower, Iheardmy hus-band sayto ourgrand-daugh-

ter, “You always get tomake up the rules. This

time I’m making oneup.” She replied, “OK,then I’ll decide if we useit.” When I looked in theroom, my husband wason the floor laughing.Good medicine, that.

I recently read anarticle that said humansare born to play. It didn’tsay children are born toplay, it said humans.Many psychologistsbelieve that play is both

instinctive and funda-mental to our very exis-tence. When we’reyoung, we automatical-ly build play into ourdaily lives. It’s as natu-ral as drawing a breath.As we grow older, wecondition ourselves tobelieve that play is forchildren and that ma-ture adults should actlike, well, adults. Some-where between child-hood and adulthood wetraded play for thedemands and responsi-bilities of work. Not agood idea.

As adults, we simplydo not give play theattention it deserves.Researchers tell us thatplay can help us to bemore inventive, smart,happy, flexible andresilient. Recent stud-ies reveal that peoplewho play often findtheir work is more pro-ductive and pleasur-able. But that’s not all.People who play areless stressed out. Playis an essential outlet forall the burdens andworries we accumulateas lives grow increas-ingly more complex andchallenging.

For older adults,play provides an impor-tant ingredient forhappiness in life: Con-nectedness. When we

play games with others -euchre, bridge, Monopo-ly - we not only matchwits with each other, welaugh as well. There’s anold saying in Ireland,“we grow old with goodfriends, but when welaugh with them, wegrow younger.” That’swhat play can do foryou. It’s life’s built-infountain of youth.

Play is how adults ofall ages regeneratethemselves. Some saythey feel more alivewhen they are playingthan at any other time.Research shows thatplay may be just as im-portant to our health asgetting enough sleep,eating right and exercis-ing. When we play, westimulate our minds andbodies to increase plea-sure and productivity.We tap into sources ofenergy that can renewus physically and makeus feel better about lifein the process. So if youwant to increase imagi-nation, creativity, prob-lem-solving skills andoverall mental health,take the advice ourmothers gave us whenwe got cranky as kids:Go outside and play.You’ll be glad you did.

CE-0000498042

Formore than a few generations, the women in our families

have just learned to live with pelvic floor disorders. Many

things can cause this disorder, but it’s more common

after childbirth — when the pelvic muscles and nerves

are weakened. This can lead to embarrassing control issues.

Pain. (Not to mention the effect on intimacy.) If that’s you,

you’re not alone. And you should know, there’s no need to

live with pelvic floor issues anymore.

Many women have regained control thanks to The Christ

Hospital Center for Pelvic Floor Disorders, one of the only

centers in the nation of its kind. Our team of physicians

and experts are sensitive to the embarrassment many

women feel and are highly specialized, working together

to offer new treatments and techniques, including

non-invasive options and minimally invasive surgery,

to help women find relief.

To speak toa specialist ,call 513.585.4800.

(Trust us, they’veheard it all before.)

We’ve comealongway, ladies.
