BLUE ASH – Residents areexpressing concerns about anatural gas pipeline possiblycoming through the communi-ty– worried about the scale ofthe project and possible aes-thetic consequences.

“I strongly oppose the cen-tral corridor pipeline exten-sion, not just because one pro-posed route runs right behindmy house and street but alsobecause I don’t think a pipe-line of this industrial sizeshould be routed anywherenear residential areas,”Bluewing Terrace residentLin Lyon said.

About 40 Blue Ash resi-dents attended the meetingCouncilman Marc Sirkin host-ed about Duke Energy’s natu-ral gas pipeline extension pro-ject.

Duke is extending its natu-ral gas pipeline to ensure bet-ter gas services in HamiltonCounty and reduce dependen-cies on gas transmission linesfrom Northern Kentucky.

“This is to get gas downfrom the Lebanon area intothe northern suburbs of Cin-cinnati. This project startedbased on a study Duke did in2015, which was a 20-year out-look of our gas system. Therewere five major projects. Thisis the first one,” project man-

ager James Olberding said.About 12 miles of 30-inch

pipe will be installed aboutfour feet underground. Thepipe will either be under road-ways or covered with soil af-ter it is installed.

Olberding said Duke con-sidered more than 200 routesfor the pipeline and has nar-rowed it to three. One of theroutes goes through Blue Ash.The route could either godown Plainfield Road, direct-ly in front of UC Blue Ash, orbehind the campus throughthe wooded area between theback parking lot and Bluew-ing Terrace.

“That creates a visualnightmare for the residentsbecause now what we arelooking at in what used to beprivate backyards would be aparking lot. We considered thenice privacy in the backyardwhen we moved here,” Bluew-ing Terrace resident TerryHuge said.

He said he is opposed to theother route as well because ofits proximity to Blue Ash Ele-mentary School and Blue AshKinderCare.

Steve Lane, an environ-mental specialist for the pro-ject, said Duke looks at nu-merous factors to determinethe routes.

“We looked at a variety of

As the weather warms, biketrails among local communitiesbegin to crowd. Imagine a se-ries of extensions that wouldconnect the trails, allowing lo-cal residents to enjoy the path-ways, and provide an opportuni-ty to safely pedal to work.

That’s a goal of ConnectiveActive Communities Coalition,part of the Green Umbrella alli-ance, as the CACC works to ob-tain grant funding to createtrails that would stretch fromWinton Woods to Glenwood Gar-dens to Sharon Woods. Ulti-mately, the bike trail would total175 miles, from downtown to theGreat Miami River trail leadingto Dayton.

Wade Johnston, regionaltrails coordinator with GreenUmbrella, said the hope is to re-ceive funding from the OhioKentucky Indiana RegionalCouncil of Governments. If suc-cessful, funds would be award-ed in 2020.

It’s an effort that would ex-pand the bike trail to includetransportation as well as recre-ation, Johnston said, and wouldprovide economic benefit to thecommunities it connects.

“We’re trying to get morepeople to ride for transporta-tion and recreation, so we havehealthier people and they can

feel safe when riding theirbikes,” Johnston said. “There isa perception of a barrier of safe-ty, and having a separated pathlets people feel safe.

“It’s also been shown nation-wide that property value in-creases. People are willing topay more to live near the trail.”

That would solve anotherbarrier to cycling, Johnstonsaid.

“It’s more convenient to ridea short distance to get to thetrail,” he said. “We’re trying tohave trails touch more commu-nities so it’s more accessible tothe people.”

Johnston said increased ex-posure would also benefit busi-ness districts.

“We think the trail could

PTO plans tributeto Phil Hackett

Edwin H. Greene Inter-mediate School PrincipalPhil Hackett is retiring atthe end of this school year

Hackett has been theprincipal of Greene since1995, but his tenure at Syc-

amore Schools beganmore than three decadesago. He first arrived atSycamore in 1988 as theprincipal of Maple DaleElementary. He led theschool for seven years be-fore moving to E.H.Greene, where he wasnamed a National Distin-guished Principal by theU.S. Department of Edu-cation. Under his leader-ship, E.H. Greene was se-lected as an Ohio School toWatch and as a Blue Rib-bon School.

The Greene SchoolPTO is hosting a dessertreception for Hackettfrom 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.Wednesday May 11, in theGreene School Cafeteria.

As a lasting tribute tohis years of service, dis-trict residents can buy apicnic table with umbrellato place near the Greenewalking track in honor ofHackett.

If you would like to do-nate toward this com-memoration, make checkdonations payable to theGreene School PTO, andsend it to the attention ofAnn Margolis E.H GreeneSchool, 5200 Aldine Drive,Cincinnati, OH 45242.

factors, socioeconomicbeing one of the big ones.We also looked at resi-dences in 100 and 1,000feet. We looked at ele-ments like road crossings,existing utilities, woodlots that would have to becleared. It is a balance oflooking at the socioeco-nomic factors, the envi-ronmental factors and theengineering factors,”

Lane said.Bluewing Terrace resi-

dent Elizabeth Rueve-Mil-ler said she is concernedabout the size of the equip-ment used to construct thepipelines and how close itwould have to be to homeson Bluewing Terrace.

“I do not think this kindof transmission line be-longs in residential com-munities, whether you aretalking bout my neighbor-hood or someone else’s,”she said.

The decision on theroutes will be made by theOhio Power Siting Board,which is responsible forreviewing and approvingplans for construction ofnew energy infrastruc-ture in Ohio.

“Both routes are verychallenging. One will bepicked as a main and oneas an alternate. The powerboard will tell us whichones they prefer us to

build,” Olberding said.Designs for the project

are slated for completionin spring 2017, with con-struction beginning in thesummer of that year andfinishing in fall 2018.

Residents expressedconcerns about groundslippage and gas leaks.

“Duke claims it willhave many safety mea-sures in place, in line withgovernment regulations,but these measures maynot be enough. We areskeptical about the num-ber of safeguards andamount of oversight thatwill go into this unprece-dented project by DukeEnergy,” resident GlenRosen said.

Lane said Duke has

previsions for slippageand gas leaks. Barrierfences will be built aroundwhere the pipeline will be,if the route between UCBlue Ash and BluewingTerrace is chosen.

“We have a monitoringdepartment so if there is achange in pressure theywill start shutting downthe systems. If it is morethan a pinhole, it will showup in our system,” Olberd-ing said. He added thepipeline will be made withnewer technology and bet-ter materials than onesthat have had well-knownleaks or explosions.

Sirkin and the repre-sentatives from Duke saidresidents who are con-cerned about the pipeline

being in or near theirhomes should contact theOhio Power Siting Board.

“We encourage you tocontact the power sitingboard, become involved inthe process and become avoice. Anything you canprovide the power sitingboard will be weighed.You simply stating thatyou don’t want it there isof interest,” Lane said.

Olberding said eachroute goes through resi-dential, industrial andcommercial propertiesand further down the lineDuke will contact all ofthem. Sirkin and the resi-dents of Bluewing Ter-race were the first to meetwith Duke about the pro-ject.

“While none of us wantthis project in our back-yards, we also don’t wantto see it passed along to an-other residential neigh-borhood or sitting in frontof schools and day carecenters,” resident JaredNewman said.

Concerns about theproject were also raised inSycamore Township.

Board of TrusteesPresident Tom Weidmansaid that the only benefitto Sycamore Townshipcoming from the threeproposals on the table isextra access to naturalgas.

Administrator GregBickford said the pipelineproject will “tear”through the township. Oneproposal would gothrough Kenwood TowneCenter. Olberding said ifthat route is chosen Dukewould try to avoid doingconstruction during busyshopping seasons, such asChristmas.

Bickford, working witha resident and engineerGeoff Grant, will preparea letter for the Sycamoretrustees to review andsign in early May. Onceapproved the letter will besent to the Ohio Power Sit-ing Board.

Don’t just keepon keeping on!

Age and childbirth take their tollon a woman’s body. But problemswith bowel and bladder control (andsex!) from a weakened pelvic floorare often fixable.

Women tend to put themselveslast. And cope. And not complain.But some personal problems, likesexual discomfort and accidentalbladder and bowel leakage, arereally troublesome. The painful em-barrassment these symptoms causewon’t go away on its own. Luckily,help for these common pelvic floorailments is at hand.

What is the pelvic floor?The pelvis is the ring of bones at-

tached to your legs at the hips. Thisring forms a basin that supports therest of your body. The pelvic flooris the sling of muscles, ligaments,connective tissues and nerves thatcovers the bottom of the basin. Thissling holds up organs in the pelvissuch as the bladder, rectum, uterus(womb) and vagina. Besides keepingthem in place, the pelvic floor helpsorgans work appropriately. In otherwords, it controls bladder and bowelfunction, keeps the organs in theirproper place and allows women tohave enjoyable intercourse.

How do I know if I havea pelvic floor problem?

Just as elastic wears out overtime, the pelvic floor muscles canbecome weak and the ligaments andother tissues can be stretched ordamaged. Extra strain in this areaincreases the chance of developinga problem. Past pregnancies withvaginal delivery, obesity, chroniccoughing, heavy lifting or strainingduring bowel movements increasethe risk. Aging and decreasedestrogen levels, as from menopauseor certain cancer treatments, alsoadd to the risk. So can any medicalcondition that affects the nerves, orsurgery or radiation in the pelvicarea. Almost 30 percent of wom-en — and some men, too — will, atsome time in their lives, develop apelvic floor disorder.

Problems with the pelvic floorcan lead to many symptoms. A fre-quent complaint is bowel or bladdercontrol problems. Muscle weaknessand/or nerve damage in this areacan cause urine leakage or inconti-nence, overactive bladder, bladderpain or frequent bladder infections.It can also cause incontinence ofstool, chronic constipation or diffi-culty evacuating your bowels.

In addition, some patients suf-fer from pelvic organ prolapse.Prolapse means that organs, suchas the bladder, rectum, uterus orvagina, are not well supported andsink lower than they should. Even-tually they can protrude outside thevaginal opening. If a woman lives tobe 80 years old, she has an 11 per-cent chance of having an operationfor prolapse. Other common prob-lems include pelvic pain, painfulintercourse and a variety of thingsthat can contribute to female sexualdysfunction.

What treatment optionsare there?

Many treatment options exist.These are tailored for each indi-vidual patient after initial testing.Therapy often combines approach-es. Simply educating a patient onher condition or making simplechanges in behavior sometimesdoes the trick. Nutritional counsel-ing can also help a patient avoidcertain foods that may worsen hisor her condition, or eat a high-fiberdiet to help soften stool.

Sometimes physical therapy andbiofeedback are used. These treat-ments can help patients learn to

identify, strengthen and relax theirpelvic muscles in order to improvebladder and bowel function, anddecrease pelvic pain. Medicationsare used to treat pelvic floor dis-orders such as overactive bladder,the thinning of tissues in the genitalarea and certain pain syndromes.

Another available treatmentoption is a pessary. A pessary is asmall plastic or silicone medicaldevice inserted into the vaginaor rectum. This device can helpsupport the pelvic organs and keepthem from falling out of place (pro-lapsing). Surgery may be recom-mended if symptoms persist afterother less-invasive options havebeen tried. Most surgical optionsare minimally invasive. This kindof surgery is generally less painful,with less scarring and a quickerrecovery than standard surgery.

Philanthropy Council hosted itsannual YPC Awards Ceremony.

YPC is a student-directed or-ganization committed to learn-ing about philanthropy and therole it plays in a healthy and vi-brant community. The YPCawards ceremony provides a fo-rum for students to share whatthey have learned about select-ed nonprofit organizations andaward checks to them. Thisyear’s special guest speakerwas Cincinnati Enquirer award-winning columnist and authorPaul Daugherty, who shared thestory of raising his daughter Jil-lian, who has Down syndrome.

YPC’s theme this year was“BeYOUtiful,” with a focus onfunding local nonprofit organi-zations that serve people withdisabilities. The agencies thatwere awarded financial supportat this year’s ceremony includ-ed Greater Cincinnati AdaptedSported Club ($2,500), Ohio Val-ley Voices ($1,500), Down Syn-drome Association of GreaterCincinnati ($1,000), Impact Au-tism ($750), Visionaries +Voices ($750) and Starfire($750).

Theyjoined students from other Ur-suline school across the countryto visit the United NationsHeadquarters to learn moreabout how to support women’sissues. The Ursuline EducationNetwork coordinated the trip.

Kate Perazzo ’17, Emilie Kil-foil ’17, Molly Barresi ’17, all ofAnderson Township, and KateBachman ’17 of Montgomerymade the trip along with reli-gion teacher Jennifer Mertens’05.

Bachman felt honored thatshe was selected to attend andher passion for women’s issueswas furthered based on whatshe learned at the conference.In fact, she and her classmateswere so impressed with presen-tations on fair trade practicesthat she inquired about fairtrade items available for pur-chase in the gift shop at the UN.Much to her surprise, no onecould confirm that those itemswere purchased via the fairtrade policies that she had justlearned about!

With the Empowering Wom-en speech and the SustainableDevelopment Goals promotedby the UN in the forefront of hermind, she and Kilfoil took ac-tion.

“Emilie and I asked a few

questions to one of the gift shopvendors at the UN, only to haveour questions dodged. Emiliethen sent a couple of emails tothe suggested representative atthe UN regarding their policyfor purchasing fair trade itemsin the hopes of answering ourquestions, but has not receivedan answer. The two of us are ea-ger to pursue the issue further –if Saint Ursula Academy cansource our uniforms ethically,surely the UN should sourcetheir gift shop products ethical-ly,” Perazzo said.

» Most people would enjoy apiece of raspberry pie for des-sert, but for Saint Ursula Acad-emy senior Sydney Gleckler ofMontgomery, “Raspberry Pi” isopening the doors to a bright fu-ture in technology. Her basictraining on this small device haschallenged her to explore howto use technology to controlelectricity.

Technology has always fasci-nated Gleckler, which is whyshe was excited to take an afterschool technology class, of-fered by the University of Cin-cinnati in exclusive partnershipwith Saint Ursula. UC classesare offered to SUA students inall grade levels throughout theschool year and focus on webdesign, basic programming,and app development. Last se-mester’s course focused onRaspberry Pi, “a small credit-card sized, barebones computerdeveloped with the intention ofproviding low-cost computersto students.” Gleckler was in-trigued by the capabilities ofthis tiny computer and the abil-ity to program it to do multipletasks.

While taking the RaspberryPi class, Gleckler began to re-flect on what type of project sheshould complete for her seniorcapstone project, a part of thecurriculum for many seniors atSaint Ursula. Within this pro-gram, students must examine areal-life problem and come upwith a solution. Since Gleckler

was taking AP physics and engi-neering, she decided to wire asmall-scale home and use theraspberry pi to create a lightshow. Gleckler was able to in-corporate electrical engineer-ing, computer engineering, andmechanical/civil engineeringand impress students and facul-ty attending her presentation.

Gleckler said her projectwas more difficult than she ex-pected due to its complexity, butwith some internet researchand help from faculty at SaintUrsula and University of Cin-cinnati, she was able to create afantastic light show to sharewith her peers.

In addition to soaking up ev-ery after school technologycourse that Saint Ursula offers,Gleckler is also involved in thecoding club, National Honor So-ciety, Students for Advance-ment, Student Outreach Ser-vice, and InterAlliance at SUA.She also plays sand volleyball,works two jobs, and is part ofthe junior ROTC program.

Thanks to her Raspberry Piproject and her academic suc-cess, Gleckler was the only stu-dent (out of more than 75 appli-cants) awarded the ROTC Com-mander’s Scholarship to attendthe University of Cincinnati inthe fall, where she will studycomputer engineering. Shehopes this will lead to a future incyber security.

“I believe that our futurewars will take place in the cyberworld, therefore I want to helpprevent future cyber attacksand protect our country. I am soexcited to go into the militaryand I can’t wait to see where myeducation takes me next,”Gleckler said when asked abouther plans for the future.

MAY 4, 2016 • NORTHEAST SUBURBAN LIFE • 7ANEWS

I have to chuckle at the photo I’msharing today. Not a usual photo offood, but one that relates to food atits source.

It’s two of my grandchildren andtheir friend, Baxter. You’ll see Em-erson leading, Baxter behind andlittle Ellery last.

Their destination was supposedto be the green onion row wherethey were to pick onions for theCinco de Mayo spread recipe thatI’m sharing today.

Well, they spied the mulch pileand decided that was more fun thanpicking onions. I caught them walk-ing through the tilled garden ontheir way to the mulch.

I’ve also been to Emerson’sschool, along with two of my othergrandchildren, Eva and Jack, tocelebrate Earth Day and love thatthey are so interested in what Moth-er Nature has to offer.

I told the teachers Iwould share tips forherbs gardens, soalong with the recipesfor celebrating Cincode Mayo and DerbyDay, here’s good in-formation on herbgardening.

Tips on starting anherb garden

Herbs don’t require a lot of tend-ing. Good soil, watering until they’reestablished and good drainage isessential. If you grow in containers,know that you’ll have to water andfertilize a bit more.

Don’t over water or over fertil-ize, as you’ll wind up with lushgrowth but the volatile oils thatflavor the herbs won’t develop.

What herbs to grow?Think about the foods you like to

eat.Cook’s garden could include pars-

ley, basil, rosemary, sage, thymeand oregano.

Pizza garden. Try a grape orcherry tomato plant surrounded byoregano or marjoram, basil, rose-mary and thyme.

Tea garden could have mint,rosemary, stevia, chamomile, lemonverbena, thyme and sage. There areendless variations, and I have moreinformation on my website: aboutea-ting.com.

Get the details: my video on con-tainer gardening: It’s on my websiteAbouteating.com

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herb-alist, educator, Jungle Jim’s East-gate culinary professional and au-thor. Find her blog online atAbouteating.com. Email her [email protected] with“Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line.

Derby Day mini hot browns

I’ve shared the Brown Hotel’s authentic hotbrown sandwich before for Derby Day. Here’s anappetizer version.

1/4 cup chicken broth3 tablespoons butter2 tablespoons flour3/4 cup half & half1 cup cheddar or Swiss or combo of both 18 slices snack rye bread or baguette slices8 oz sliced deli turkeyThinly sliced sweet onion, separated into

rings6 strips cooked and crumbled baconParsley

Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter over medi-um heat and stir in flour until smooth. Stir in creamand broth. Bring to boil and cook for a coupleminutes or until thickened, stirring constantly.Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted.Put bread on baking sheets. Layer each piece withturkey, onion and cheese sauce. Sprinkle withbacon. Bake 10 minutes or until heated through.Sprinkle with parsley.

Cinco de Mayo spread

16 oz refried beans (I like Mexican style)

1/4 cup Picante sauce1-1/2 cups guacamole1/2 cup each sour cream and mayonnaise2-3 tablespoons taco seasoning1 heaping cup shredded Mexican cheese

blend or cheddar2-1/4 oz can ripe olives, sliced and drainedGarnish: Chopped green onions, shredded

lettuce, chopped tomatoes, cheeseChopped fresh cilantro

Combine beans and Picante sauce. Spreadonto shallow platter. Spread with guacamole.Combine sour cream, mayo and taco seasoning andspread over guacamole. Sprinkle with garnishesincluding cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips.

Don’t like cilantro? You’re probably using toomuch. There’s a natural component of cilantro thathas the taste of soap. That’s why folks think cilan-tro tastes like soap when you use too much.

It’s May: Derby Day hot browns, Cinco de Mayo spread

Sycamore: Why notall-day kindergarten

Sycamore is in the proc-ess of planning for kin-dergarten next year.

Three years ago (2011-2012) the district said no toall-day kindergarten. Rea-sons given, cost would beestimated $260,000 forstaffing, approximately$25,000 for learning materi-als and furnishing andneeded fourclassrooms.

Enrollment is decreasingin the district and the spaceis available. There was acarryover balance of $35million (June 30, 2015). Thedistrict offers head startand preschool currentlyand plans to add more.

What we have today is amixture of students. Weoffer half-day and all-daykindergarten. All-day stu-dents are in class for sixhours and three hours forhalf-day students. Parentspay $3,300 for all-day, stu-dents on free and reducedare paid for. This planleaves a group of students,because of family incomeunable to receive the sameeducation for entering thefirst-grade.

Technology plays a vitalrole in Sycamore and isused in kindergarten. If youread Sycamore’s brochureon kindergarten you willfind that they do some as-sessments to determine

academic levels. Regard-less, we know a studentwith six hours of socialcontact will be better thanone with only three hours.

“A successful schooldistrict places a high de-gree of importance on en-suring that all childrenhave the opportunity toreach their full potentialinside and outside of theclassroom.” SycamoreSchools Quality Profile2012-13.

man beings, we’re learningmore and more about thegenetic makeup of people,finding that biologically,there’s more a continuum ofgender than just male andfemale.

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONDid your high school seniorclass participate in a “seniorprank?” What was the prankand what were the conse-quences?

Every week we ask readers aquestion they can reply to via email. Send your answers [email protected] Ch@troom in the subject line.

In December, I took a pho-tograph of a mighty sycamoretree standing proud in a neigh-bor’s front yard just aroundthe corner, it’s leafless limbsaskew, reaching in every direc-tion but always upward, as inprayer.

I could have taken the pho-tograph in summer whenleaves oxygenate the world orin fall when multicolored for-ests cover the landscape. In-stead, I chose winter when coldand wind laid bare the tree’sstrength and character. Sea-sons come, seasons go, thru all,the mighty tree stands. Limbsoutstretched as the lovingarms of a mother, she sends amessage that winter’s bitterwinds and summer’s bleachingheat are for naught. Mothersalways nurture, heal and bind.

I made a pencil sketch ofthe tree that emphasized amottled grey-brown trunkscarred with knots and creas-es. Their blackened centersappear as long ago healed-overwounds where younger lifeonce grew. Atop the trunk,surviving limbs twist, entangleand crisscross. The sketch ismeant to reflect the connectionbetween family, the manifes-tation of life, and a mother’slove. There exists a relation-ship and interdependence be-

tween embry-onic MotherEarth and lifefrom the em-bryo of amother’swomb. Bothare caressedby nature’sguiding hand.Tree’s takenutrients fromthe earth and

grow limbs along unpredict-able paths. Mothers give birthand provide nourishment, loveand advice. Both give life thatmay grow strong, falter, or fall.

The pencil sketch repre-sents all mothers - in partic-ular, my mother, Martha Cath-erine Rogers Hounchell, andmy mother-in-law, MargueriteGauthier Dargy. In total, theybirthed 19 children. Marthabirthed 16 in Kentucky’s coalcamps and a hardscrabblehillside farm near Corbin,Kentucky. Marguerite birthedthree girls in the textile milltown of Central Falls, RhodeIsland.

The tree trunk’s knots re-flect life lost and the creasesrepresent sorrow. Martha lostthree girls and two boys nearbirth and her voice trailed offweak when she spoke of them.She mourned her babies lost.

Marguerite nearly died givingbirth to her youngest. Bothmothers cherished the living.

Martha is buried in Kokomobeside her husband, ElbertHedrick Hounchell. Margue-rite and her husband, LionelAlbert Dargy, are buried inRhode Island. Both mothersdied young, Martha of a heartattack at age 64 and Margue-rite from cancer at age 51.They led lives filled with love.

Martha’s four girls married.One to an accountant; a soldier;an electrician; and a unionman. Six of her seven menbecame veterans. None died inwar, none died a coal miner.Their occupations varied frommachinist, moonshiner, con-struction worker, engineer,retired military and truckdriver. Marguerite’s girls mar-ried. The oldest became anurse and married a doctor,the middle child, a languagetranslator, married an engi-neer. The youngest, a Nun, isbetrothed to God. None of hergirls died a textile worker.Four of Martha’s children arealive today. All three of Mar-guerite’s children are alive.

On this Mother’s Day, mem-ories of our mother’s legacieslive on.

BLUE ASH - UrsulineAcademy’s lacrosse team, ac-cording to coach Todd Voll-mer, is off to its best start in awhile this season. They areclose to cracking the Top-10 inlaxpower.com’s rankings.They sit at No. 12.

There are two other teamsfrom the Cincinnati areaahead of UA as of April 28.Sycamore, which sits in third,and Division II Indian Hill insixth. The Lions will meetboth teams soon, and Vollmersaid those tilts will provide areally good look at where Ur-suline stands.

“Right now, a lot of stuff iscoming together for us,” thecoach said. “We lost one of ourseniors to injury before theseason and we have no ju-niors. Things are just fallingin the right place.”

The pieces of the puzzlecoming together has helpedthe Lions navigate a minefieldof tough opponents. Vollmersaid this was the toughestschedule he’s ever concocted.

He made it that way, withcontests against the likes ofSummit Country Day, DublinCoffman and Sycamore, be-cause he felt he had a teamthat responds well to pres-sure.

Tailoring an offensivescheme to the girls’ strengthshas been a boon as well.

Senior Lily Baldwin, astandout from the field hock-ey team and Tufts signee,leads the team in scoring as

well as draw control. She hasrunning mates in Adair Molin-sky and Shannon Toomb, too.

Both sophomores, current-ly, the pair finished among theteam’s top three scorers lastyear and are poised to do soagain.

As the season has pro-gressed, the girls have gottenmore comfortable. with theway the scheme work-s.“There’s better ball move-ment,” Vollmer said. “We’restarting to see more assistsand less one-on-one scoring.”

The Lions coach also saidhis team has played great de-fense. Haya Akbik leads thatunit in the back half and SarahDoyle patrols the cage.

He added that the unit doesa great job helping keep UA intight games.

“Haya is going to be reallytough to replace when shegraduates next year,” Vollmersaid. “Sarah is an active de-fender. She does a great jobcreating turnovers. That’s notsomething you see with a lot ofgoalies.”

As for an outlook on therest of the season, the 9-1 Li-ons won the Girls GreaterCatholic League. From there,They want to advance beyondwhat they did last season. UAwas among the final eightteams left in the Division Itournament a season ago

“The conference was oursto win and ours to lose,” thecoach said. “In the playoffs, Ithink the sky is the limit,” thecoach says. “When this teamshows up to play, I like ourchances.”

SYCAMORE TWP. -Heading into the finalweek of the season, theSycamore Aviators soft-ball team has weatheredadversity and gainedvaluable experience thatwill pay off in 2017.

Sycamore will returnan experienced core nextseason. The flip side isseveral freshmen andsophomores have beenasked to contribute in thestarting lineup this sea-son.

That has led to theAves being overmatchedin several contestsagainst more experi-enced Greater MiamiConference powers. Asthey play through theirgrowing pains, the Avia-tors are learning what itwill take to competeagainst the league’s bestin the coming years.

“The younger playerswill hopefully learn, andoutgrow some of the ner-vousness that comes withplaying against the besttalent in the city,” saidSycamore coach SarahMelvin. “There is no re-placement for game-timeexperience, especially inthe GMC.”

In addition to youth,the Aves have struggledwith injuries. Senior Sa-vanna Asbrock suffereda season-ending injury,

while fellow senior PaigeCassidy has battled inju-ries throughout the sea-son. Those two outfield-ers would have providedsolid defense and experi-ence this season.

“These have been dif-ficult and a huge impacton the season since dayone,” said Melvin.

The four seniors whohave remained healthyhave taken a backseat tothe next wave of talentcoming through the pro-gram. Rather than sulk,they have embraced theirrole as veteran leaders.They could have easilycomplained about losingout on playing time toyounger teammates, but

instead have done all theycan to help the programnot just this season, but inthe future.

“They have beenamazing,” said Melvin.“All four in the programare excellent examples,teachers, and leaders forthe underclassmen.”

They are passing theleadership torch to thetalented young playerswho will be very experi-enced at the varsity levelby the time they are sen-iors.

Junior pitcher Liz Iz-worski, junior catcher/third baseman HannahYoung, sophomore short-stop Jessica Fehr, andsophomore first basemanLiz Eilers are the futureof the Aviators softballprogram. Fehr leads theteam with 29 hits and a.483 batting average, andIzworski has five homeruns and 28 runs battedin.

“We are really lookingto build leadership withan excellent core groupthat has begun to under-stand the expectationsand goals of this programand what being a varsityathlete really means,”said Melvin. [Those four]have been the corner-stones and are really be-ginning to embrace theleadership roles.”

Sycamore (6-14) closesout the regular season onMay 6 against Fairfield.

KENWOOD - Whenev-er it begins, the road toHuntington Park in Co-lumbus won’t be as easyas in years past for theMoeller High Schoolbaseball team.

Minus several startersthat moved on to the col-lege game, the only thingrecognizable to their 2016opponents has been the“M” on their blue caps.

From last year’s Divi-sion I state champions,Alec Graves, PatrickMullinger and Kyle Butzsaw the most playingtime. Those three are stillin the Moeller mix, but therest of the lineup has fea-tured several players whowere getting junior varsi-ty swings last spring.

As a result, thoughthey are still a team to bereckoned with, the Cru-saders win-loss recordisn’t striking fear in theiropponents.

“We knew coming intothis year we would be in-experienced offensively,”Held said. “We’re tryingto put it all together hereto be able to make a strongtournament run. It’s beenvery tough and we’vefaced a lot of good pitch-ing.”

Much of that has comefrom the Greater CatholicLeague-South which hasseen Moeller, La Salle, El-der and St. Xavier taketurns beating one another.Louisville commit NickBennett has the best stuffon the team, but has hadsome rare misfortune atthe hands of the Lancers.

“He’s faced La Salle acouple times and they’ve

been ready to hit that fast-ball,” Held said. “Wehaven’t made a couple ofplays behind him. Otherthan that, he’s thrownvery well.”

Bennett still leads theleague in strikeouts,ahead of teammates Se-bastian Fabik and Camer-on Junker (Notre Dame).

Junior Fabik has been akey find as he began theseason with his ears stillwet from competing withthe Moeller swim team inthe state meet. Not onlyhas he been one of theCrusaders’ top pitchers,he’s also been one of theirbetter hitters while serv-ing time in the outfield.

Juniors Jake Kies andNick Long have also

thrown solid innings.Held knew he would needcontributions from lastyear’s JV and two otherjuniors, Jack Gallagherand Christian Bault, arealso among Moeller’s bet-ter hitters.

A sophomore, TylerMcDonough, has added toteam depth by catchingand playing second basewhen needed. In the pow-er department, seniorHayden Bianchini has puta hurting on several whitespheres with stitching.

A year ago, Fabik andBianchini combined for23 at-bats, with Gallagher,Bault and McDonough re-cording their first varsityplate appearances justover a month ago.

team. St. Xavier’s A teamfinished fourth, followedby Indian Hill.

Dektas, whose Indiansare the two-time defend-ing Division II state teamchampions, shared Teets’outlook.

“This is such a greatevent,” he said. “It doesn’tmean a ton, but it doesmean a lot in terms of pre-paring for the state tour-nament. I was happy withour singles guys, but ourdoubles need some work.”

Post-season play isscheduled to start the sec-ond week of May.

Under cloudy skieswith temperatures in thelow 50s and before fans atMason who either had

their hands in their pock-ets or their arms wrappedtightly around theirchests, Taylor opened thesecond set against Yu withanother service break. Yuregrouped to break Tay-lor’s next two serves, butTaylor came up with an-other break before lightrain stopped play andeventually forced theshift to Five Seasons,where Yu pulled out hissecond-set win.

Yu lost his serve twicein the first three games ofthe third set, Taylorclinching his 3-0 lead withan exquisite backhanddrop shot to the ad court.That left him feeling goodenough to give a smilingthumbs up to a photogra-pher during the ends-change break.

Yu won the next twogames, the first when Tay-

lor double-faulted onbreak point, but Taylorheld to win the sixth gameand then grabbed a 5-2lead with a wicked back-hand service return. Heclosed out the match withan ace.

“I thought Alex wasoutstanding,” Teets said.“He did a great job mixingthings up.”

Taylor considered thewin “unimaginably impor-tant” in getting ready fora tournament run.

“I’ve had a few ups anddowns this season, but Ifeel like I’m back,” hesaid. “This is my biggestconfidence booster.”

Dektas described thefinal as a “growth match”for Yu.

“He’s turning into a No.1,” the coach said. “Youneed a match like this todo that.”

We are celebrating our 40th anniversary at the Plant Farm. Who are we? We are an experienced retail nursery-landscape business specializing in plants, not to be confused with stores that sell

plants along with furniture, groceries, hardware and appliances. On any given day we are giving personal service to customers, helping them

find new plants that will be successful in their landscape, whether it be container gardening, a woodland retreat, formal or cottage gardens, foundation plants around the home or a new tree in the yard. Our extensive inventory includes a large native selection,

heritage plants, and the newest plant introductions that have truly “proven” their worth in Mary’s test gardens. If it doesn’t meet her

standards, we don’t grow or sell it. During business hours customers tour Mary’s 3 acres of 65 year old private gardens. Mary at 94 years young, gardened her entire life, and shares her expertise to help other gardeners. Walking our growing fields you will find plants locally grown in Ohio soil, ready to be transplanted in your garden. Or choose from those plants already potted or balled and burlapped in the nursery sales area. We provide a full landscape consultation, design, and installation service to fit any gardener’s needs. Our designs use “the right plant for the location”, not just what looks good today, but will be hardy and remain attractive for years to come. In celebration we will be offering selected plants valued to $8.00 for 40¢ with purchase. Events: May 3 – 8 Fragrance Week with ‘Mini Mother’s Weekend Tea’, May 15, Container Gardening Class, June 4, Propagation Seminar, July High Tea in the Garden, Aug. 7, Art in the Garden, and more.

Fishing season begins at Great Parks in Hamilton County.

A new internationalexhibition that fea-tures 100 artists

representing more than20 nations and a widerange of art forms are ondisplay through June 3 atthe UC Blue Ash CollegeArt Gallery (at the cornerof Plainfield and Cooperroads in Blue Ash).

The exhibition, “DadaLives!,” was developed tocelebrate the 100-year an-niversary of the foundingof the Dada movement in1916.

The Dada movement,also referred to as Dada-ism, was in reaction toWorld War I and the na-tionalism that many be-lieved led to the war. Itused a wide range of artforms to mock materialis-tic and nationalistic atti-tudes, including collage,painting, performanceart, poetry, photographyand sculpture.

This centennial exhibi-

tion was organized and cu-rated by H. Michael Sand-ers, professor of electron-ic media at UC Blue Ash.He notes that Dada is oneof the most pervasivelyinfluential forces in con-temporary art.

“Dada forms the foun-dation for most of the vi-sual art practices fromthe modernist period on-ward including surreal-ism, pop art, perfor-mance, conceptual artand much more,” Sanderssaid. “It’s not an historicalart movement, but aframe of reference forseeing the inherently il-logical nature of humanbeings and finding waysto utilize this feature ofour mind in spontaneous-ly positive ways to cutthrough the sea of dreckwe confront daily.”

The exhibition andopening reception prom-ise to be very entertain-ing. Just a small sample of

the items featured in-cludes – more than 120two-dimensional works ofart, over 30 sculptures,countless videos, a solidhalf-dozen unclassifiableworks, three audienceparticipation projects,and a potential portrait ofevery person entering theroom. And that’s just forstarters.

The opening receptionfor “Dada Lives” is alsothe publication party for anew, contemporary Dadaart and poetry review,“MetaDada: The Interna-tional Journal of DadaMining.” The inaugural is-sue will be published onthe 100th anniversary ofthe first Dada publication,Cabaret Voltaire, whichappeared on May 15, 1916.

You can find more in-depth information andsamples of the works in-cluded in the exhibition atwww.ucblueash.edu/art-gallery.

“Louise Brooks” by Julia Geiser of Switzerland is among the pieces on display in “Dada Lives!”

These are tantalizing questions, and you are now being presented with an opportunity to obtain the answers.

The Free and Accepted Masons of Ohio that meet in Montgomery, do so at Montgomery Lodge No. 94, located at 7790 Cooper Road, 45242.

The Lodge will host an open house at the Lodge on May 10, 2016 from 7pm until 9pm. We will begin with a cookout of the usual fare of hamburgers, hot dogs, brats and mets. There will be an information session, with questions being welcome, and a tour of the lodge which may surprise you.

Although, Masonry is a men’s fraternity, we are very family oriented. Many of our monthly social events are open to family and friends. That special lady of yours is welcome as well as the children.

We actively participate in functions both in Montgomery and surrounding communities. You may have seen our float in the annual 4th of July parade. Each year we assist with the set-up for Bastille Day. We contribute to local Boy Scout activities as well as the support of two baseball teams and a local high school robotics team.
