A flag flown by a Blue Ashsolider in Afghanistan will bedisplayed in the Blue Ash Rec-reation Center in honor of an-other Blue Ash solider, whodidn’t make it home to see hisformer co-workers at the cen-ter.

The city of Blue Ash held aflag dedication ceremony forArmy Spc. Donald “Scott” Mor-rison during the city councilmeeting July 10.

Morrisondiedat theageof23inKandahar, Afghanistan, Sept.26, 2010, from wounds sufferedwhen his convoy was struck byan improvised explosive de-vice. He was a life-long BlueAsh resident and 2005 Syca-more High School graduate.

“We called him ‘Scottie’ andhe was like one of the familyhere,” Mayor Lee Czerwonkasaid.

Morrisonworkedas a fitnesscoordinator at the Blue AshRecreation Center before en-listing in the army as a combatengineer in 2008.

Pfc. Kevin Hess, also a BlueAsh resident and SycamoreHigh Schoolgraduate, flew theflag on a base in Konduz, Af-ghanistan, inhonorofMorrison.He also carried the flag in hispocket during a combat mis-sion.

He gave the flag to the cityand it will be displayed, alongwith a certificate signed by the

Konduz platoon sergeant andplatoon leader, in the lobby oftheRecreationCenter aspart ofa memorial to Morrison.

Recreation Center FacilitiesManager Brian Kruse said theemployees at the recreationcenter have always been aclose-knit team.

“We feel like Scottie is stillwatching over us, like our for-ever solider. If you’re in thebuilding late at night the eleva-tor by the front desk comes upfrom the basement. The doorsopen and nobody’s in it. Thathappens all the time. For us wejust think, ‘That’s probablyScottie, just roaming the halls,watching over us.’ We’re look-ing forward to Scottie coming

COLLECTION TIME

After one dog got loose andattacked another dog July 4,Sycamore Township is recon-sidering laws regarding vi-cious dogs.

“We had this discussionyearsago, and it’sprobablygo-ing to come up again,” Town-shipAdministratorGregBick-ford said.

Township trustees consid-ered a vicious dog ban in 2008,but the resolution nevermoved past the first reading.

Trustee Tom Weidman saidthe township resolution wasnotbreed-specificat the time–in otherwords, it didn’t outlawjustone typeofdog, suchaspitbulls – and this law also couldlean more toward viciousdogs.

“I think we should look at itagain, and I know some peoplehave issues with (being)breed-specific,” he said. “Butthe fact of the matter is theseare notoriously dangerousdogs, and if the owners can’tkeep control of them, that’s anissue.”

Township Solicitor DougMiller said banning a certainbreed could be problematicbecause it might require DNAtesting to prove what type ofdog is involved in an attack.

The Ohio Revised Code hasspecific definitions forwhat isconsidered a “dangerous dog”ora“viciousdog,”which isonethat, without provocation, haskilled or caused serious injuryto any person.

Miller said he has issueswith this definition because itcan be interpreted as “every

dog gets one free bite.”“That’s the problem, be-

causehowdoyouknowadogismean until it bites someone?”he asked.

Another argument againstbreed-specific legislation isthat irresponsible ownersshould be punished instead ofdogs, Miller said. He’s alsoheard responsible dog owner-ship compared to being a re-sponsible gun owner.

“Theproblem is a gun is notgoing to hop the fence and getout and run the neighbor-hood,” he said. “A lot is the

IndianHill schools willmake it easier for stu-dents to register forsports this school year.

Athletic Director JeffZidron said online regis-tration is an upcoming ob-jective for the depart-

ment. He said the onlineregistration isexpected tobegin this summer.

He said the district hasonline registration in anumberofotherareasandthat this opportunity willnowbe available in athlet-ics.

It will be quick andpainless, he said about theonline registration proc-ess.

Zidron gave an updateto the school board duringits June meeting.

He said plans for 2015include a refurbishedtraining room and a newoutbuilding and fieldhouse for Tomahawk Sta-dium.

This year saw the addi-tion of new turf at bothTomahawk and Shawneefields with renovationsunder way on the upperbaseball and softballfields at the high school.

“A lot has gotten donein the last year,” Zidronsaid.

However, Zidron saidthe athletic departmenthas faced a few chal-lenges.

He said outside organi-zations continue to attractstudents to their ownsports programs result-ing in students participat-ing in fewer sports pro-grams at the high school.

He said a reduced stu-dent enrollment is alsoprojected.

Zidron said the districtshould continue to focuson retaining the studentsin the current programsaswell as to retainmiddleschool students enteringhigh school.

Board member ErikLutz asked if the districtwas in jeopardy of drop-ping a division.

Division status is de-terminedbyenrollment ingrades 9, 10 and 11. Divi-sion status comes intoplay when districts com-pete against one another

in state tournaments.Zidron said he did not

think any of these devel-opments would have animpact on the district’s di-vision status.

“I don’t think it will af-fect us that much,” hesaid.

Zidron said that sinceIndian Hill does not haveopen enrollment the im-pact would be less likelythan it could potentiallybe for private schools andpublic schools with openenrollment.

festival and a letter thatmay have helped ensurethe primary win of GOPStatehouse candidate Jon-athan Dever. A leader ofthe PACs says theyweren’t required to reportthe expenses.

The Sycamore Town-ship Republican Club –which is run in part bytownship trustees CliffBishop, Tom Weidmanand Denny Connor –raisesfundsfor itsPACbyselling beer at the town-ship festival. That’s OKbecause the club pays fora festival sponsorship,WeidmantoldTheEnquir-er last month.

The Club’s PAC,though, failed to reportthe 2013 sponsorship pay-ment in its campaign fi-nance reports, HamiltonCounty Democratic PartyChairman TimBurke said

Republican politicalaction committees run inpart by Sycamore Town-ship trustees failed to re-port some expenses, aDemocratic leader said ina complaint before theOhio Elections Commis-sion.

Expenses in questioninclude a sponsorship tosell beer at the township

in a com-plaint tothe elec-tions com-mission.

The fi-nancial re-port didn’thave to re-port the

sponsorship because theclub made the donation,not the PAC, said Weid-man, who is president ofthe club.

“The Sycamore Town-ship Republican Club isthe sponsor. That is a so-cial club. We don’t report(expenditures) to any-body. We’re not obligatedto do so, not to (Burke) oranyone else,” he said Fri-day.

The Republicans splitthe money from the beersales between the cluband the PAC, he said,based on guidance re-ceived from staff at theHamilton County Boardof Elections.

Burke’s complaint alsoquestions campaign fi-nance reporting for a sec-ond PAC, the SycamoreTownship GOP PAC. Inthe 28th District OhioHouse primary race be-tween Dever and BlueAsh Councilman Rick

Bryan, the PAC paid tosend a letter to local Re-publicans. The letter,signed by the three trust-ees and township FiscalOfficer Rob Porter, criti-cized Bryan and support-ed Dever. But the PACfailed to report spendingfor the letter in its mostrecent campaign financereport.

The PAC’s payment forthe letter came after themost recent campaign fi-nance deadline, Weidmansaid, so it will appear onthe next report. He paidfor thepaper, printingandpostage for the letter, thenturned in receipts to theclub’s treasurer, TracyKellums. Kellums, who isalsoSycamoreTownship’smaintenance superinten-dent, reimbursed Weid-man from the PAC’s mon-ey after the reportingdeadline.

Dever, aMadeira attor-ney, won the primary by66 votes over Blue AshCouncilman Rick Bryan.The 28th District stretch-es fromForestParkon thenorthwest to Madeira onthe southeast. In Syca-more Township, Dever’sedge over Bryan wasmore than 450 votes, en-suring his victory.

The letter “likely gaveDever the election,” Bry-an told The Enquirer.“They accomplished theirmission.”

The Ohio ElectionsCommission – made up ofthree Republicans, threeDemocrats and one inde-pendent – will considerBurke’scomplaintonAug.28, after the SycamoreTownship GOP Club hasanopportunity torespond.At that meeting, the com-mission could dismiss thecomplaint, order a fullhearing on a later date ormake a final ruling on thecomplaint, Executive Di-rector Philip Richter toldThe Enquirer.

If the commission’smembers agree withBurke that the SycamoreTownship Republicans vi-olatedthe law, itcouldfinethe PACs. It lacks the au-thority toorder thePACorany of its beneficiaries toreturn money earned atthe fundraiser, Richtersaid.

A spokeswoman forDever’sDemocraticoppo-nent, Sycamore Town-ship’s Micah Kamrass, onJuly 18 called for him todonate to charity the costof the letter andmoney hereceived from Weidman’s

campaign, which hadbeen funded in part by theSycamore Township Re-publican Club PAC. “Thepeople of the 28th districtdeserveacampaignbasedon honesty and integrity,”said Emma Drongowski,spokeswoman for Kam-rass, in a statement.

Dever did not immedi-ately respond to requestsfor comment.

Dever and Kamrass,who works for Burke’slaw firm, will face off inNovember in what’s ex-pected to be one of Ohio’smost competitive State-house races. The districtleans Republican, but hastwice been won by Demo-crat Connie Pillich, ofMontgomery. She is leav-ingtheseatopentorunforstate treasurer this fallagainst Republican in-cumbent JoshMandel.

Burke has also filed acomplaint with the OhioEthics Commission, say-ing the township trusteesare personally benefitingfrom the beer sales’ pro-ceeds, since their cam-paigns receive moneyfrom the club’s PAC. OhioEthics Commission workis not public unless thecommission finds a viola-tion.

owner because they don’thave it properly confinedand the dog gets out. It’s areally tough issue andthere are pit bulls that arenice, but generally speak-ing that seems to be, it’scertainlywhat youhear inthe press, it’s a problemwith pit bulls.”

In Sycamore Town-ship’s previous proposal,owners could be fined asmuchas$1,000perdayforhaving a vicious dog, andWeidman said they needto continue to researchwhat is andwhat is not eli-gible to be excluded in theresolution.

“With this (most re-

cent) incident here, it’s in-cumbent on us to at leastget somekind of control ifwe have the ability to doso,” he said.

CincinnatiCityCouncilin 2012 repealed its ban onowning pit bulls withincity limits, but after re-cent attacks CouncilmanChristopher Smithermanhas said it might be timeto reconsider.

InFt. Thomas, officialsare considering lifting thepit bull ban, which hasbeen in place since 1988.Residents on both sides ofthe issue have spoken infavor of and against over-turning the law.

Union Cemetery Roadwill soon see improve-ments thanks to a partner-ship between the city ofLoveland, Symmes Town-ship andHamiltonCounty.

“(Loveland) will be theproject manager,” Love-land Finance Director

Tom Vandershorst said atthe Loveland City Councilmeeting July 22.

Loveland will replacethe waterlines underUnion Cemetery Road.Hamilton County will re-place the bed of the roadand add the turn lane andSymmes Township willbuild the sidewalks.

The project will cost

$1.5 million and the bidwas awarded to SunesisConstruction of WestChester Township by a 6-0vote. Councilman RobWeisgerber was not at themeeting.Vanderhorst saidthe city will pay the cost,but will be reimbursed bySymmes Township andHamilton County.

The three entities re-

ceived a $725,230 match-ing grant from the OhioPublicWorks Commissionand Loveland received azero-interest loan for$577,750 from the com-mission for the project.

VanderhorstsaidfixingUnion Cemetery was amuch needed project.

“Weseea lotofourpub-lic works stuff fixing (wa-

terline) breaks out there. Iwant to say there werewas more than 10 breaksout there this year,” Van-derhorst said.

The project is slated tofinish before the LovelandCity Schools start Aug. 20.

Councilwoman Pau-lette Leeper said the cityshould be putting what-ever money it can towardfixing roads, which waswhy she spoke out againstthe wayfinding study rec-ommendation from theDowntownLovelandPark-ing Advisory Committee.

“We need to pour everysinglebit of excess funds–if there are any – into ourroads. Iknowputtingmon-ey into our roads is not assexy as doing wayfindingsignage, I would love to beable to that. But, I’m goingto remind council about(city engineerCindyKlop-fenstein’s) presentationabout the condition ofroads and how they de-cline. They decline veryslowly and then fixingthem isverycostly,” Leep-er said.

The wayfinding studywould create uniform sig-nage for the entire city tocontrol traffic and directtraffic to destinations andparking areas. The park-ing committee heard fromErik Brown, of Brown-stoneDesign, who submit-ted a proposal for the pro-ject for $15,000.

Interim City ManagerDavidDuckworth said thecost would only be $10,000for Brown to figure outwhere signs are neededand to design them. Duck-worth said the city canhandle the constructionand installation, cutting$5,000 from the cost.

Duckworth suggestedto council to eithermake amotion to have phase one,figuring out where thesigns are needed, be donein 2014 and phase two, de-signing the signs, be in2015 or have both budget-ed for 2015. Each phasewould cost about $5,000,Duckworth said.

Vanderhorst said thecity doesn’t have anymon-ey budgeted for the study,but said the fundscouldbefound.

Council did not make adecision, but the majoritywere in support of doingphase one in 2014 andphase two in 2015.

“The businesses arestarting to experience adecline in business be-cause people can’t findparkingspaces. I think it isa needed project and it isbeing requested by ourbusinesses,” Mayor LindaCox said.

Vice Mayor Mark Fitz-geraldsaidthewayfindingstudymighthavebegunasasolutionto theparking is-sue, but it will be an im-provement to the city as awhole.

BLUE ASH — Nearly sevenyears later and the remindersremain almost constant.

A slurred or forgotten word.A pause in her speech. A slightlimp when she walks. All ves-tiges of the night ChristinePhan nearly died.

It was November 2007. Thenan Ursuline Academy sopho-more, Phan was coming off hersecond season in the Lions ten-nis program. She was alone inherWestChester homeand suf-fering from a headache. Shecalled a friend and called hersister, both of whom advisedher to lie down and rest.

She did, until the pain be-came so great she was nauseat-ed and had to get to the bath-room. That’s where her parentsfound her sprawled on the floorwhen they got home. An aneu-rysm in her brain had rupturedand she was close to death. Infact, the emergency room doc-tor suggested gathering herfamily and friends to say good-bye, because shehad less than a1 percent chance of survival.

But Phan’s mom insistedthey fight for that slim chance.An Air-Care trip to UniversityHospital ledtofivehoursofsur-gery.

And survival.Thencametheharrowingor-

deal of regaining brain func-tion. Phan missed 108 of 180days of school her sophomoreyear. She had to relearn how towalk, talk, eat, bathe, read andwrite; she spent countlesshours in physical and occupa-tional therapy doing so.

Phan spent weekends andsummers making up hermissed work the rest of herhigh school career andgraduat-ed on time with her class in thespring of 2010. She’s since grad-uated from Rollins College inFlorida - a semester early, infact -with a degree in psycholo-gy. She will be going back to

Rollins in the fall to start workon her MBA.

Allofwhichaddsuptoanoth-er reminder, this one perhapsmore positive in nature. Ursu-line tennis coach Joe Hartke-meyer started the ChristinePhanDoubles Slam tennis tour-nament the summer after shegraduated as a chance to keepPhan’s story alive and give theUrsuline community a chanceto celebrate the success of oneof its own.

“She’s just such an inspira-tion to all of us,” Hartkemeyersaid. “Shewas very determinedto have a full recovery and shedid. We want to expose theyounger kids and the girls whoare in the program now to thatkind of dedication and determi-nation.”

Christine Phan not only cameback from her brain trauma tograduate with her class at Ursu-line Academy, she also graduat-ed early from Rollins College. Inwhat would have been her finalsemester of college, Phan in-stead had two internships.Both were near to her heart, if

not necessarily her psychologymajor.One was with the University

of Cincinnati Health publicrelations department. The otherwas in Key Largo, Florida, usingdolphin therapy to help patientsrecover from brain trauma.“It was really cool,” she said.

“It was an amazing experience,especially because I really knewwhat they were goingthrough.”For video of Phan catching up

GERMANTOWN, MD. — - Onecoach compared the nationalclub soccer tournament to astep ladder. His team is stillclimbing.

The Cincinnati United Pre-mier Gold U17 boys team ad-vanced to the tournamentsemifinals after posting a 2-1record in pool play. The teamlost its national semifinal 5-2 inovertime against FC DallasJuly 26. Dallas lost 1-0 in theJuly 27 finals to Manhattan(N.Y.), who beat Fullerton(Calif.) in its semifinal.

“It’s been like a step ladderfor our program,” said headcoachTerryNicholl - also headcoach at Seven Hills - goinginto the tournament. “At onestage it was good to win a statecup. At the next stage it wasgood to play in the regionals.Then to win the regionals andmake the nationals. Now it’sbeen good to play in the nation-als and the next thing is to winit.”

This wasn’t the year, but itwas close.

“We were three minutesaway from making the finaland we just couldn’t hold on toit,” Nicholl said. “(Luke)

Treadway scored two fantasticgoals - brilliant goals - earlyand we spent the rest of thegame trying to hold on to thelead.”

The CUP team held its 2-0lead through the first half andnearly extended it to 3-0 in thesecond half when Treadwayhad a breakaway and went upagainst the Dallas goalie oneon one. Nicholl thought Tread-way was fouled by the keeper,but no whistle blew.

Dallas scored in the 54thminute and tied it in the 90th,then got three goals in over-time.

“Their coach told me if wehad gone up 3-0, he didn’t thinkthey could have come backfrom that,” Nicholl said. “Itwas a bad break for us.

“I’mnotworriedaboutwhathappened in the overtime.They reacted to our changestrying to be more offensiveand turned it around on us. I

needto figureouthowtonot letthem back in the game the last10 minutes in the first place.

“To be fair to Dallas, theywere very, very technical,very, very skilled. It lookedvery defensive what we weredoing, but it was their abilitythat forced my hand on that. Icould always be clever afterthe event, but you always sec-ond guess yourself if you don’t(win).

“It was a tough season. Westartedslow,but toget to the fi-nal four in the country was apretty great run, pretty suc-cessful overall. We got it rightat just about the right time.”

CUP U17 beat Golden State3-0 in its tournament openerJuly 22. Noah Griffith (OakHills)openedthescoring in the45th minute, while Treadway(Scott) and JJ Iroh (Mason)added goals in the second half.

CINCINNATI—AfterTommyJohnsurgery in2012andbeingdesignated for assignment bythe San Francisco Giants, EricSurkamp received an early

Christmas pre-sent last De-cember whenhe was claimedby the ChicagoWhite Sox.

On June 26,the 2005 Moell-er High Schoolgrad was backin the bigs in

Skydome against Toronto. It’shis third stint in themajors af-ter pitching in 2011 and 2013for the Giants.

“It’sgoingprettywell,”Sur-kamp said. “It’s been a blast tobe out there.”

The 6-foot-5 lefty is still asexcited to be at the ballpark ashe was nearly three years agowhen he made his debut as aSeptember call-up. The for-mer Crusader recorded twowinsfor theGiants thatmonth.

The following year, he wasin surgery under the supervi-sion of the nationally re-nowned Dr. James Andrews.In 2013, Surkamp had a brief

cameowith the Giants prior tobeing claimed by the WhiteSox Dec. 23.

He didn’t make the club outof spring training, but wascalled up as a reliever afterprimarily starting for theAAA

Charlotte Knights.“Hopefully, I’ll keep pitch-

ingwellandstayup,”Surkampsaid. “They’re definitely giv-ingmean opportunity uphere.It’s a little different throwingout of the bullpen and stuff,but it’s been a lot of fun. I’mseeing a different side of thegame from the bullpen.”

Surkamp joined Moellerteammate Andrew Brackmanat North Carolina State aftergraduation. Brackman wenton to sign with the Yankees in2007 and Surkampwas a sixth-round pick of the Giants in2008.

Both pitchers have had in-jury setbacks.

“He retired last year,” Sur-kamp said of Brackman. “Hewas with the White Sox lastyear and called it quits.”

In 2004, Surkamp’s juniorseason at Moeller, the Crusad-ers won the Division I state ti-tle under the direction ofMikeCameron. With the 6-foot-10Brackman and Surkamp com-ing at opponents, the duoproved to be quite the 1-2southpaw punch.

“At that level, all thegames are going to bevery tight but awin in oneof three games is essen-tial to move on and wemissed opportunities intwo of the games to get itdone,” said Tiffany Rob-erts, assistant coach ofthe U17 team and wom-en’s director at the acad-emy. “I’m extremelyproud of our group as weshowed a tremendousamount of pride and fightin all three games.”

The team provided ex-citing soccer to watch,scoring six goals in itsthree games and allowingseven. KHA tied DMCVSharksElite fromCalifor-nia 2-2.KHAscored twicein the final minute of reg-ulation on goals by Syd-ney Kilgore (Oak Hills)and Camille Williams(SevenHills) torally froma 2-0 deficit against ateam that was the defend-ing national champions.

“What a great environ-ment for the best teams inthe country to come to-getherandcompeteas thefields were great andcompetition was excel-lent,” Roberts said. “Ourgroup had a very toughbracket. To be honest, we

just gave up too manygoals in each game weplayed and were a goalshort in all three of thegames to get a result weneeded to go through.”

GREEN TWP. — ForAlex Deters the 2014Brine National LacrosseClassicwasn’t just an op-portunity to showcasehis skills in net, but ulti-mately a chance for himto get comfortable withthe game again.

The St. Xavier HighSchool junior-to-be wascompeting for the start-ing job during preseasonworkouts with theBombers before he frac-tured his hip, essentiallybringing his high schoolseason to a close.

“Brine was my firsttime I played up to mypotential since I gothurt,” Deters said. “Itwasaprocess.…Eventu-ally I tookenoughrepssoeverything was back tonormal.”

Deters was one of1,900 to be named a 2014Brine National HighSchoolAll-Americanandbe selected for the na-tional showcase that in-cluded high school, mid-dle school and girls divi-sions June 30-July 4 atthe Maryland Soccer-plex.

While the Team Ohiohigh school team fin-ished just 2-2, failing tomake it out of pool play,Deters earned himselfsome looks along theway.

“A lot of playing goal-ie is how you’re feelingthat day,” the Bombersaid. “If you’re feelingwell then you’re playingwell and you had a goodday. I had a couple ofthose days and the expo-sure helped. I got somecalls and emails fromsome college coachespertaining to my perfor-mance.”

Team Ohio featuredplayers from WalnutHills High School, Arch-bishop Moeller HighSchool, Summit CountryDay School and ElderHigh School, while thegirls team featured EvieGoodyear and HaleyRayburn of SycamoreHigh School.

Moeller head coach

Sean McGinnis is in hisfourth year as an assis-tant with Team Ohio andloves the idea of hisMid-western lacrosse play-ers finallygetting theex-posure they’ve warrant-ed.

“It’s just a great eventfor Midwestern playersto showcase their tal-ents,” he said. “It’s agreat time to play a lot ofgreat high school la-crosse players andyou’re going there asTeam Ohio and the guystake pride in represent-ing their state.”

Thatpridecamepour-ing out when Team Ohiotook on Team Michiganin the final game of poolplay. With poor weatherin the area, thegamewasdelayed until 9 p.m. be-fore Team Ohio blitzedits way to an 8-2 victory.Team Ohio not onlyknocked Team Michiganout of tournament play,but they earned a third-

place finish in pool play,one spot ahead of thestate to the north.

“Itwaskindofafunnysituation,” McGinnissaid. “I think the Michi-gan and Ohio familieswere the only ones intoit. Itwas a funway to endthe event.”

As for Deters, Brinewas a launching pad forwhat hedid at theBest ofthe Best National Invita-tional over Fourth ofJuly weekend with hisclub lacrosse team, Tita-nium Lacrosse. Withmore than 60 collegescouts and coaches in at-tendance, Deters put to-gether his best at theright time.

“That’s when I playedreally well,” the junior-to-be said. “The teamdidn’t come together likeI thought we would, buttherewere a lot of scoutson the sidelines, so itwasa great time to play real-ly well.”

“I’m pairing with Ko-

But the real dreamforPhan is just getting backon the court and havinganother chance to thankthe team and school thatsupported her through

her darkest times.“At first coach Joe

“I am happy and feelhonored to be part of thisevent. It’s pretty incred-ible.”

Cincinnati bouncedback with a 3-1 win overthe Chicago Fire July 24.Lucas Andrew (BishopFenwick)began thescor-ing 10 minutes into thegame, while Treadwayadded another goal 10minutes later. Chicago

got on the board beforehalftime, but Iroh’s goalearly in the secondthwarted any furthercomeback notions.

“To bounce back thewaywedid fromaspank-ing like we got against avery good Manhattanteam and beat the Chi-cago Fire club, that wasone of the best momentsof the season,” Nichollsaid. “That showed metheir toughness. I’mveryproud of our lads for thateffort.”

The CUP U18 team -which finished as nation-al runner-up last season -didn’t fare as well thisyear.

They opened with a1-0 loss to Lehigh Valley

“I think I got into theseventh inning, thenBrack (Brackman) camein to close the door,” hesaid.

Now in the AmericanLeague, he no longer getsto swing the bat as he didin his Moeller days or re-

cently in the NationalLeague. Like most pitch-ers, he misses being partof the offensive equation.

“Yeah, thatwas kind offun,” Surkamp saidchuckling. “I think I hitaround .300 at Moeller,but it was probably a soft.300.”

For the record, Sur-kamp is1-9 as abig leaguehitter with a base knockin 2011 with the Giants.His career minor leagueaverage is amore encour-aging .231. Over the

years, he’s accumulated36 wins on the mound inthe minor leagues.

More importantly, he’shealthy.

“The secret to success inlife is to eat what you like andlet the food fight it out inside.”- Mark Twain

Food is continuously apleasurable, yet thought-provoking topic.

Mymom, like a lot of othermoms, would tell me thatthere were starving childrenin China and I should be solucky to have cauliflower tomunch on!

It did cause me to envisionan image of thousands ofhungry, starving Chinesechildren, with famish facesand bloated stomachs, pa-tiently enduring long lines,miles long, to get a few piecesof cauliflower. That mentalpicture was usually enough ofa motivation for me to eat theremaining veggies.

I must admit, selfishly, Iprayed nightly to God tosomehow find food for thesefamished kids as then Iwouldn’t need to eat so muchcauliflower that my parentsseemed to grow everywhereon our family farm.

My family belonged to thearea’s Methodist church,where every activity seemedto involve some type of food,prayer and an offering plate.As a kid when attending thesegatherings, I was frequentlyoverwhelmed at the smorgas-bord of food laid out and usu-ally passing up on the morehealthy foods, I would loadmy plate on a ton of assortedrich desserts. It was a sweetsugar paradise as us kids

hustled quick-ly away to anisolated eat-ing location totaste our re-warding loot.

It was alsoa time to showoff your cook-ing as individ-uals wouldpride them-

selves in certain food dishdomains. It was always grat-ifying to have your namementioned related to a cer-tain special recipe, as pleas-ing remarks such as, “OhMildred, I do so hope youbrought your famous friedchicken again this year!”were delivered out loud foreveryone to add input on howeither crispy or tasty it was.

You could tell the non-cooking people by the store-bought items such as com-mercially wrapped cakes,cookies, and the commonmayonnaise drowned, delicoleslaw.

As a kid growing up, thefamily evening supper wasjust that…a family eventwhere you were expected tobe in your chair…around thetable…on time as the mealwas being served. As a kid, Ialways figured this was a wayparents, Mom especially, keptan eye on your eating habits,knowing you got all of yourbasic food groups. The eve-ning meal also was a time forquestions about your day,events that I attempted toavoid with a quick stuffedmouthful of mashed potatoesif I suddenly became thefocus of attention. This wasone main reason I actuallyattempted to clean my plate,just to avoid long detailedresponses related to awkwardquestions about my day’sactivities, especially duringmy teen years. Celery wasthe best for long term chew-ing and postponing conversa-tion.

This short quote by Fran-cois de La Rochefoucauldspeaks to this: “To eat is anecessity, but to eat intelli-gently is an art.” So as a kid Ilearned to use the “art” partto my advantage!

Wes AdamsonCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

July 23 question“Without a doubt pit bulls

should be banned. There maywell be some of the dogs whohave been raised properly andin loving homes, but there havebeen far too many very sad ex-amplesofextremeviolenceper-petrated by pit bulls. For a sup-posed civilized society such asours to allow the breed to be tol-erated, simply makes no sense.How many people have died inthe jaws of death that these pitbulls possess? How many moreneed to die or be grossly disfig-ured by such hellhounds? Howmany tragedies are acceptable?100? 10? No, not even 1.

“Can they be good pets? Isuppose, but the very naturebred into pit bulls for so manyyears hasmade it a breed not tobe trusted. As a group, they aremeant tobeattackdogsandpro-vide extreme security to theirowners. How many drug deal-ers have golden retrievers asguard and attack dogs? Howmay evildoers rely on poodlesfor protection? I’ll go with zeroas my estimate.

“Pit bulls have proven theirtrue and violent nature on somany occasions that thisweek’squestion begs a follow-on ques-

tion: Why are we even debatingthis topic? Pit bulls should begone and they should be goneright now.”

M.J.F.

“Pit bulls should not bebanned. Not all pit bulls are vi-cious; not all golden retrieversare tame.

“Ban vicious dogs, instead ofsingling out particular breeds.If adoghasahistoryofbitingormaimingpeople, then itneeds tobe dealt with individually; wecan have harsher penalties forowners of vicious dogs. Butbreed-specific legislation is notthe answer. Do we expel all Ar-abs from the United States, andgive whites a free pass whenthey commit acts of violence?No, we punish the perpetrators.

So why should dogs be any dif-ferent?”

Ed Kolis

“Not all pit bulls are danger-ous. But it ‘seems’ that many ofthedogattacks involvepitbulls.It also appears that the ownersof somepit bulls have no clue asto how to manage and controlthese dogs. Much of the prob-lem is dog owners who shouldnot own pit bulls let alone anydog. These owners let thesedogs run free against local ordi-nances. I would prefer pit bullsonly be allowed on isolatedfarms not in populated urbanareas. Ask yourself why some-onechoosestoownapitbullver-sus other breeds with a moretame history. Go Figure!!!”

A pit bull.

With the 2015 Major LeagueBaseball All-Star Game com-ing to Cincinnati, focus will beon its rich baseball history.Part of that is Crosley Field,where the Reds played from1912 to 1970.

Crosley Fieldreconstructed

Crosley Field, or at least areconstructed version of it, canbe seen to the south as youdrive along Interstate 275, just

like the origi-nal was visiblealong I-75.Located in theBlue AshSports Centerat 11540Grooms Road,it was dedicat-ed in 1988 tothe “Youth ofBaseball.”

The blue-prints from the original wereused, which included a grassinfield, the field dimensions,the outfield terrace and theheight and angles of the out-field wall. The scoreboard is asit was whenWayne Grangerthrew the final pitch to BobbyBonds on June 24, 1970.

The stands near the thirdbaseline dugout contain morethan 400 seats from CrosleyField. The wood portions of theseats have been replaced byplastic though. A ticket booththat originally stood outsidethe ballpark is also there.

In the ’80s and ’90s, the fieldhosted an annual Old-Timersgame, where Reds of the pastplayed other formerMajorLeague players. At the origi-nal’s ticket booth, they handedout bags with peanuts, CrackerJacks, and a scorecard. Hotdogs and soft drinks were onlya dime.

In 1991, they recognized the30th anniversary of the 1961World Series with former Yan-kees and manager Ralph Houkin the visiting team dugout.The Reds included JimO’Toole, Bob Purkey, JohnnyEdwards and Leo Cardenas.

Local celebrity Jerry Springerwas the American Leaguecatcher.

In 1994, it celebrated JoeNuxhall’s 50th year in baseball.In 1995, the 25th anniversaryof the last game at CrosleyField, the Reds’ dugout hadReds’ pitchers JimMaloney,Johnny Vander Meer and JoeNuxhall. An outer wall fea-tures a number of plaquescommemorating the CrosleyField-era Reds’ greats andothers that played at the BlueAsh field.

Crosley Field siteJust north of Union Termi-

nal, off of I-75, is the formersite of Crosley Field. Today,seven buildings occupy the siteand Dalton Ave. runs rightthrough where the stadiumused to be.

The stadiumwas at thecorner of Western Avenue andFindlay Street. Left field wasalong York Street, center fieldand right field were alongWestern Avenue, and the firstbase side of the stadiumwasalong Findlay Street.

You can see where homeplate at Crosley Field was bygoing west along Findlay pastDalton. Between the first andsecond building is an alley.There, the former location of

home plate is marked withwhite paint. Believe it or not,the spot can even be found onGoogle maps.

Rather than being pre-served after the Reds moved toRiverfront Stadium, on April19, 1972, Pete Rose Jr. pulled alever that sent a wrecking ball,bearing the grinning face ofMr. Red, into the side of Cros-ley Field.

Gary Crouch is a resident of Cler-mont County. He had a weekly col-umn on sports and sports collect-ibles for a Dayton publication in the‘90s.

JULY 30, 2014 • NORTHEAST SUBURBAN LIFE • B3LIFE

I had to laugh when Ichecked my Top Hatblueberry bushes for ripeberries. They were load-ed, but being miniaturebushes, the yield wassmall. I had enough to

test out arecipe I’mdevelopingfor healthyblueberrymuffins,but notenough forthe blue-berry crispI wanted tomake fordessert.

Our local farmers’ mar-ket had blueberries forsale so I stocked up andhad enough to make thiscrisp and to freeze.

By the way, the defini-tion of a crisp or cobblercan be a little blurred.But to my way of think-ing, a crisp doesn’t con-tain eggs and/or leav-ening in the topping and acobbler does. Aren’t youglad I imparted this tidbitof wisdom?!

So good blueberrycrisp a la mode

If you like, go aheadand toss a handful ofsliced almonds into thecrisp topping along withthe dry ingredients. Dotaste for sweetness inboth the filling and top-ping; you may like a bitmore sugar than recipecalls for. This recipedivides in half easily andcan be frozen beforebaking. If you do that,bake the crisp frozen atthe same temperature.Just increase the bakingtime. If it browns tooquickly, cover lightly

with foil.Filling:6 cups blueberries3 tablespoons brown

sugar1 tablespoon flour1 generous tablespoon

lemon juiceTopping:2/3 cup flour1/2 cup packed brown

sugar1/2 cup oats1 teaspoon ground

cinnamon4 tablespoons butter

cut into small piecesPreheat oven to 375°.

Combine first 4 ingredi-ents and pour intosprayed 9x13 baking dish.Combine 2/3 cup flour, 1/2cup brown sugar, oats,and cinnamon, and cut inthe butter with a pastryblender or 2 knives untilthe mixture resemblescoarse meal. Sprinkleover the blueberry mix-ture. Bake at 375° for 30minutes or until bubbly.Serve with vanilla icecream, frozen yogurt orwhipped cream.

Tip:Topping may also be

made in the food proces-sor. Place 2/3 cup flour,1/2 cup brown sugar, oats,and cinnamon in a foodprocessor, and pulse 2times or until combined.Add butter; pulse 4 timesor until mixture resem-bles coarse meal.

Using frozen berries:thaw only slightly andincrease baking time abit.

Health tip fromRita’s kitchen:

Blueberries containlots of antioxidants,which are good for yournervous system and

brain.

Freezingblueberries:

Rinse and dry thor-oughly before freezing ina single layer on a cookiesheet until hard. Thentransfer to suitable freez-er containers. Or don’trinse at all and simplyput frozen berries in acolander and run a littlecold water over to rinseand to thaw slightly.

Rita’s salt free herbblend

Savory is a great sub-stitute for salt and is

called the bean herb inGermany since it helpsdigest beans. Adaptedfrom a Dr. Oz recipe.

Combine:1/3 cup garlic powder1/3 cup onion powder1/3 cup oregano2 tablespoons thyme4 tablespoons parsley

flakes2 teaspoons savory1 teaspoon freshly

ground black pepper

How to ripen home-grown tomatoes. Heatherasked if she could finish

ripening her homegrowntomatoes in a sunny spotoutside.

“I have to pick thembefore they’re complete-ly ripe so the squirrelsdon’t get them first,” shesaid.

To ripen tomatoes forthe best flavor, don’t setthem in the sun. Put themin a shady spot outside or,better yet, on the kitchencounter away from di-rect, hot sunlight. They’llripen nicely in a fewdays.

Storing tomatoes inthe frig. NO! Unless it’sabsolutely necessary,

don’t store tomatoes inthe frig. The cold notonly affects their tex-ture, but the flavor, aswell.

A cut tomato, wrappedwell, keeps on thecounter in a cool spot fora couple of days.

We’ve all seen theadvertisements toutingthe benefits of reversemortgages for seniorcitizens. While reversemortgages have manygood points, there areseveral drawbacks thatthe ads don’t mention.

Reverse mortgagesallow homeowners to getcash for the value oftheir home. That cangive them much neededfunds to pay their livingexpenses – and theydon’t have to make mort-gage payments as longas they live in the house.

While no mortgage

paymentsare re-quired, thehomeown-er is stillrespon-sible forpayingpropertytaxes andinsuranceon the

house. While it’s truethat your heirs can stillinherit your house, theymust first pay off thatreverse mortgage loan.

New York AttorneyGeneral Eric Schneider-man settled a lawsuit

against one mortgagecompany which wasaccused to sending mis-leading direct mail adsto seniors. The suit saidthe ads only presentedthe benefits of reversemortgages while failingto disclose the risks.

Schneiderman saysdon’t sign loan docu-ments for a reversemortgage unless youunderstand how itworks. Shop around andcompare rates and op-tions offered by variouslenders.

One type of reversemortgage is federally

insured and back by theU.S. Department ofHousing and Urban De-velopment. That’s aHome Equity Conver-sion Mortgage, and itgenerally provides big-ger loan advances atlower total costs thanprivate loans offered byindividual companieswhich are called Propri-etary reverse mort-gages.

Schneiderman warnsnot to use a reversemortgage to pay forgoods and services likehome improvements.Also, resist pressure to

buy any financial prod-ucts or services such asannuities or long-termcare insurance.

Schneiderman saysreverse mortgages arenot necessarily the bestoption for all homeown-ers. He says fees andother charges for thereverse mortgage can bevery high thus using upmuch of the equity inyour home. In somecases, he says, there areoften less costly, moreappropriate optionsavailable.

Homeowners shouldlook into getting a home

equity line of credit andinvestigate programsthat help defer or lowertaxes and utility bills.

Finally, you need toknow most reversemortgages give youthree business daysafter closing to cancelthe deal for any reasonwithout penalty.

It’s true. Regular oil changes, tune-ups and maintenance can help improve your vehicle’s performance and gasmileage, extend its life and increase its resale value. It can also help reduce traffic congestion due to preventablebreakdowns. But possibly most important of all, taking good care of your car could help reduce emissions bymore than half. And that should make you breathe a lot easier between oil changes. So keep it up because…
