The school board approved a $5.5 million payment to taxpay- ers and attorneys as part of a re- cent settlement of a property tax lawsuit, which has its origins in a decision made by the board in 2009. The school board passed a resolution to refund a total of $5.5 million, which will be about 4 percent of the total property taxes paid by individual taxpay- ers from 2011 to 2014. According to David Nurre, assistant director of finance for the Hamilton County Auditor’s Office, an estimated 5,629 par- cels of property will be part of the settlement. The auditor’s office was un- able to provide a specific refund amount. Nurre said the auditor’s office has not yet seen the calcu- lations and would need to create some sort of database before de- termining the amount of the re- fund payments. The district has said even though a settlement agreement was reached, it will still need to be approved by the court. Class action notice letters will be sent to residents in the next two to three months, and pending approval, refund checks would then be issued within four to six months. Residents will have an option of donating their refund to the Indian Hill Public Schools Foun- dation as a charitable gift. The lawsuit stems from an in- side millage decision made by the board in 2009 which permit- ted the board to move 1.25 mills of inside millage to fund perma- nent improvements. The state allows for an inside millage move without a public vote. However, the Committee for Responsible School Spending contended the move was unnec- essary since the district had an estimated $24 million in cash re- serves at the time. The committee fought to have the tax increase over- turned by filing appeals with both the Ohio Board of Tax Ap- peals and the Ohio Supreme Court, which eventually ruled that the additional revenue from the outside mills was not re- quired. Earlier this year, the school board requested the 1.25 mills not be levied in 2015 and said that homeowners would be re- imbursed for additional money. Shortly after, a lawsuit was filed by Committee for Respon- sible School Spending, seeking more than $5 million. At times the fallout from the lawsuit had been overtly conten- tious with residents chiding board members during the pub- lic meetings and asking for some type of resolution. Board Member Kim Lewis announced the settlement dur- ing the Nov. 10 meeting saying that it was “an effort to put this behind us,” adding that as litiga- tion progressed it would likely have a detrimental impact on the district. “This has been a long, diffi- cult process,” she said.

Residents in the Indian HillExempted Village School Dis-trict could potentially see a re-fund from the school districtsometime in the spring.

The school board approved a$5.5 million payment to taxpay-ers and attorneys as part of a re-cent settlement of a propertytax lawsuit, which has its originsin a decision made by the boardin 2009.

The school board passed aresolution to refund a total of$5.5 million, which will be about4 percent of the total propertytaxes paid by individual taxpay-ers from 2011 to 2014.

According to David Nurre,assistant director of finance forthe Hamilton County Auditor’sOffice, an estimated 5,629 par-cels of property will be part ofthe settlement.

The auditor’s office was un-able to provide a specific refundamount. Nurre said the auditor’soffice has not yet seen the calcu-lations and would need to createsome sort of database before de-termining the amount of the re-fund payments.

The district has said eventhough a settlement agreementwas reached, it will still need tobe approved by the court.

Class action notice letterswill be sent to residents in thenext two to three months, andpending approval, refundchecks would then be issuedwithin four to six months.

Residents will have an optionof donating their refund to theIndian Hill Public Schools Foun-dation as a charitable gift.

The lawsuit stems from an in-side millage decision made bythe board in 2009 which permit-ted the board to move 1.25 millsof inside millage to fund perma-nent improvements. The stateallows for an inside millagemove without a public vote.

However, the Committee forResponsible School Spendingcontended the move was unnec-essary since the district had anestimated $24 million in cash re-serves at the time.

The committee fought tohave the tax increase over-turned by filing appeals withboth the Ohio Board of Tax Ap-peals and the Ohio SupremeCourt, which eventually ruledthat the additional revenue from

the outside mills was not re-quired.

Earlier this year, the schoolboard requested the 1.25 millsnot be levied in 2015 and saidthat homeowners would be re-imbursed for additional money.

Shortly after, a lawsuit wasfiled by Committee for Respon-sible School Spending, seekingmore than $5 million.

The complicated juxtapo-sition of poverty and wealth isalways heightened during theholiday season.

The pain of being withoutis more poignant. The desireto give and make a differencemore immediate. Groups andorganizations that year roundstrive to provide food, clothesand other support to familiesin need see all of the emotionsplayout this time of year.

“The thing I appreciate ev-ery year is the generosity ofpeople,” Inter Parish Minis-try’s Executive DirectorLindsey Ein said. “The holi-days just bring out the best.”

Perhaps most touching arethe little children who want toshare toys that they no longeruse.

“You can see some of them

trying to grasp the fact thatsome children don’t havetoys,” she said. “You can justsee their eyes getting wide.They want to help. They wantto do something so other boysand girls will have Christmasjoy. It just permeates throughtheir families. It’s very heart-warming for those of us whoare trying to give Christmasjoy to those who don’t haveany otherwise.”

Unfortunately need is al-ways going to be there, but itseems especially heightenedduring the holidays, presi-dent of the NorthEast Emer-gency Distribution Services(NEEDS) pantry Frank Mor-ris said.

NEEDS serves families inSycamore Township, DeerPark, Evendale, Sharonville,Blue Ash, Montgomery, Indi-an Hill, Madeira, SymmesTownship and the northeast-ern part of Hamilton County.

It is located inside the Ken-wood Baptist Church, 8341Kenwood Road, and is open 9a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesdays andThursdays.

board has also agreednot to oppose plaintiffs’request that $860,000of the refund amountbe paid to the plaintiff’slawyers as attorneyfees and costs. An addi-tional $40,000 of the re-fund will also be paid tothe individual plain-tiffs.

Mary Siegel, a mem-ber of the Committeefor Responsible SchoolSpending and also oneof the plaintiffs, saidshe was pleased withthe board’s decision.

“I’m happy for thisagreement,” she said.“I’m glad we can allmove forward.”

early December, he said.They will donate that foodto NEEDS.

Cash gifts are alwayswelcome and go a longway in helping to assistneedy families, Morrissaid

“We’re glad people arethinking generously thistime of year,” he said.

Hunger is an issuestatewide. In Septemberof this year, many areafood banks saw an influxof food thanks to the 2015Feed Ohio campaign.

“Hunger is an issuethat touches every cornerof Ohio,” Ohio First LadyKaren W. Kasich said in apress release. She and herhusband, Gov. John R.Kasich, encouraged allcitizens to participate inthis year’s Feed Ohio Vol-unteer challenge, in con-junction with the NationalDay of Service observedon Sept. 11.

Michael Harward,Feed Ohio 2015 coordina-tor for the Montgomeryward of the Church of Je-sus Christ of Latter-daySaints, reported that 128individuals from his con-gregation contributed 228hours and collected 2,750pounds of food for theLIFE Food Pantry locatedat the Prince of PeaceChurch in Loveland.

“We made a real differ-ence for the LIFE Pantry,”he said in a press release.“Their quantities hadbeen down and so theywere so grateful for whatwe provided. In fact, theywere on the verge of beingoverwhelmed with howmuch we were able to col-lect.”

A similar story wasshared by Symmes Town-ship resident Mark Perry-man. He coordinated vol-unteers from the Cincin-nati Young Single AdultBranch of the LDSChurch. They distributedempty bags in theSymmes neighborhoodsof Calumet Farm, Har-tland and Kemper Woods,and then returned a fewdays later to collect bagsthat had been generouslyfilled with food.

Food and utilities arenot the only areas onwhich NEEDS is focusingits attention. NEEDS isconducting its annual win-ter clothing drive. Morrissaid he was surprised tolearn from representa-tives of Deer Park Schoolsthat students are in needof socks.

Donations of socks,coats and other warm win-ter clothing items aregreatly appreciated, Mor-ris said.

“Our needs are contin-uous and sometimes Janu-ary through March thingsget lean because peoplegive for the holidays andforget about us,” he said.

To drop off new orgently worn and cleanedwinter clothes, stop byNEEDS in the KenwoodBaptist Church, on Ken-wood Road between Ku-gler Mill and Galbraithroads.

Loveland InterFaithEffort Food Pantry Direc-

tor Linda Bergholz saidthe food pantry sees in-crease awareness in dur-ing the holiday season.

“We certainly see moreof an awareness, especial-ly at this time year, andthat awareness has boost-ed our donations. Unfor-tunately, we also havemore clients registeringweekly, so the need has in-creased as well,” Bergh-olz said.

She added there hasalso been an increasedawareness of healthierchoices, but they are moreexpensive and harder forthe pantry to provide.

LIFE Food Pantry isstarting its holiday pro-graming with the distri-bution of Holiday Bas-kets, which gives familiesenough food for a Thanks-giving and Christmasmeal and gift cards toRon’s Market.

“Kids are home fromschool for holidays, sothey don’t receive the freelunch and in some schoolsbreakfast, so there ismore of a demand foritems to serve mid-day.L.I.F.E. formed TheBreakfast Club two yearsago, so qualifying stu-dents in grades one to sixcan receive breakfast onMonday, Wednesday andFriday,” Bergholz said.

The pantry is also hav-ing its Holiday GivingShoppe Dec. 17 and Dec.18, where clients can shopfor clothing, personalgifts and household items.

LIFE’s food pantry isopen 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.Mondays and Thursdaysand 10 a.m. to 12:30 pm.Wednesdays and Satur-days. The pantry posts awish list of items it needsdonated on its website,www.lovelandlifefoodpantry.org.

A local group that or-ganized a crisis relief pro-ject for overseas is hop-ing to raise funds to con-tinue its mission of help-ing children and familiesimpacted by the war inSyria.

Crisis Relief OverSeas(CROS) is hosting a fund-raising Wine & Craft Beerevent Friday, Dec. 4, atArchbishop Moeller HighSchool, 9001 MontgomeryRoad. The evening runs 7p.m. to 10 p.m. with ticketscosting $50. There is alsoa VIP event starting at 6p.m. with admissiontickets for the entire eve-ning costing $100. A totalof 500 admission ticketsare available. To RSVPvisitwww.crosinitiative.org.

CROS was founded in2015 by Chris Erdmannand veteran Flavio Galle-gos. Erdman, the CROSpresident, is a local man.Now 33, he grew up in An-derson Township and at-tended Archbishop Moell-er High School.

Erdmann said that hewas inspired to create thegroup when he was work-

ing as a U.S. Departmentof Defense contractor inKosovo. While there, hedid volunteer work pro-viding medical assistanceto children. He noticednot only his own willing-ness and eagerness to vol-unteer but that of othercontractors who all, likehim, were U.S. militaryveterans.

The idea for CROS wasborn in April, and by JuneErdmann had certifica-tion for CROS. Currentlyhe’s waiting for the 501(c)(3).

Tim Erdmann is Chris’dad, CROS vice president,and a Moeller teacher of28 years. He said that he’snot surprised by his son’sefforts. Service to othersis a key principle empha-sized at Moeller, he said.It’s also something he andhis wife, Diana, supportedin their Anderson Town-ship home.

In his junior year, Erd-man said that his son waspart of a ArchbishopMoeller High School ser-vice trip to Central Amer-ica/Honduras working onrebuilding an orphanageand working in the localhospital. The trip was life-changing. After gradua-tion, he went on to the U.S.Coast Guard, then theUnited States Air Forcebefore taking a job as a se-curity contractor for theDepartment of Defense.It was as a security con-tractor in Bosnia and Ko-sovo he began helping in-nocent victims of war,Tim Erdmann said.

“As a Christian and be-liever, he’s living hisfaith,” he said of his sonadding how proud he is ofhim.

In just a few shortmonths, CROS hasachieved much butthere’s much more to do,Chris Erdmann said.CROS is currently operat-ing a medical project inMafraq, Jordan, provid-ing the only medical ser-vices available to over 40Syrian refugee familieswho have fled the fightingin Syria, he said.

CROS is working witha church from Israel andone of its members, pedia-trician Dr. Ashraf Gous-sous.

“The majority of ourpatients are children,Erdmann said. “What wedo, it’s home-based medi-cal care rather than clin-ic. It’s home-based and ho-listic. We don’t just carefor their wounds, we alsohelp them mentally. Manyhave traumatic stress.”

This is something the

veterans who are volun-teering their services canrelate to, he said. One ofthose veterans is para-medic Carlo Hodil fromGeorgia.

“He can directly relateto them,” Erdmann said.“He’s seen the thingsthey’ve seen. He’s seenfriends die in combat. Itbuilds a bond.”

That bond, Erdmannsaid, also builds a trustwhich can eventually helpin the struggle againstterrorism.

“They don’t know whywe would travel all theway from America to helpthem, and it’s totallychanging their under-standing of Americans,”he said.

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

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

The VIP event startingat 6 p.m. includes all of theofferings of the eveningplus a bourbon tastingsession and opportunityto meet the president andvice president of CROS,along with UFC fighterMatt Hamill of Loveland.VIP guests will also havethe opportunity to meetmembers of the musicalgroup Madison Rising.

The party continues at7 p.m. with wine and Mad-Tree Craft Beer tasting,food from Dewey’s Pizza,a gourmet taco bar, liveentertainment by Out ofthe Blue and Madison Ris-ing, and more.

To learn more aboutCROS, you can view theirvideo on YouTube, https://youtu.be/b9iEc9fB7TA,and visit the website atwww.crosinitiative.org.

Meeting young people striving for excellencein the food world just makes me so proud of my

profession. Lilkeisha Smith is astellar example. A Midwest Culi-nary student, she told me the tradi-tions of Thanksgiving make it herall time favorite holiday.

“It’s the joining of family thatmakes me excited” she said. Lil-keisha prepares an elaborate feastwith fresh ingredients and, as shetold me “tons of love.” Her cran-berry relish is a given. She recom-mends making it days ahead.

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is anherbalist, educator, Jungle Jim’s

Lilkeisha’s ultimate orangecranberry relish

12 oz. cranberries1 cup sugar1 large orange 1/4 cup Triple Sec liqueur2 tablespoons orange juice.

Rinse and drain cranberries. Zest orange andthen section orange removing leaving flesh inlittle half-moons. Combine cranberries, sugar, zestand orange sections in bowl, stir, and let sit 15minutes. Place items into food processor alongwith orange juice & half the liqueur. Pulse to chopand blend. Slowly add remainder of liqueur andcontinue to pulse to desired consistency. Youwant to see bits of cranberry but not hugechunks. Refrigerate a minimum of two hours orup to 3 days.

Fresh carrot ginger soup

Granddaughter Eva dug the last of the carrots from the gardenand she and her sister, Emerson, put them, along with a potpourri ofveggies and herbs, into their radio flyer wagon and wheeled it to meby the kitchen door. A Thanksgiving bounty! I found enough carrots inthe wagon to make this light and lovely soup. The recipe comes fromKaren Gibson. Her blog Soupaddict.com is a hilarious read with seri-ously good recipes. A nice first course for Thanksgiving. Can be made 2days ahead. Just don’t add milk until you reheat.

Olive oil to film pan1 cup onion, diced 1/2 cup celery, diced1 tablespoon minced ginger2 cloves garlic, minced2 pounds carrots (measured without greens), roughly chopped4 cups stock, chicken or vegetable1/3 cup canned coconut milk or creamSalt and freshly ground black pepperSour cream and chopped cilantro or parsley for garnish

Add the onions, celery and a pinch of salt to pot, and cook onlow until soft. Add ginger, garlic, carrots, and another pinch of salt.Cook for 5 minutes, or until carrots start to take on golden edges.

Pour in stock, and increase heat to medium-high to bring to lightboil. Reduce heat to medium, and cover partially. Simmer for 20 min-utes, or until carrots are tender and smash readily against the side ofpot. Turn heat off. Use an immersion blender to create a smooth pureeright in pot (or blender, working in batches). Taste, and add salt andpepper as desired. Stir in coconut milk and serve with garnishes.

Not your ordinary make ahead mashed potatoes

Different from other do ahead mashed potato recipes I’ve sharedsince there’s no sour cream here. Tastes like fresh mashed.

Peel and cut potatoes into chunks. Put in pan with cold water tocover. Bring to boil and cook until done. You’ll know when you poke afork into them and it comes out easily.Drain, put back into dry pot and mashover low heat.

Turn off stove and add butter,cream cheese, 1/2 cup Half & Half andmash, adding more half & half if need-ed. Season. Spray a baking dish and putpotatoes in. Dot all over with butter.Cover and store in frig up to 3 days.

Reheat in slow cooker:Spray slow cooker, stir potatoes to

mix in butter and reheat on low 2-3hours. You may have to add a bit of half &half.

Reheat in oven:Take out of fridge about 3 hours before serving. Bake in a 350-375

degree oven, lightly tented, until hot throughout, about 30 minutes orso.

LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR

Nov. 11 questionWhat results from the Nov. 3

election most surprised you?What, if anything, do the resultsmean for 2016?

“The overwhelming defeatof the marijuana issue, pleasedme a great deal. I had expectedthe ‘medical’ false plea woulddo better. Colorado’s rapidgrowth in auto accidents andincreasing concern over med-ical problems associated withdrug addiction seem to havegotten more attention than Ithought they had. Certainly thegovernor’s race in Kentuckyportends additional conserva-tive reaction by the voters. Arecent political cartoon de-picted the pendulum swingingback to the right after years ofunsuccessful socialist pro-grams. John Kasich provesthat ‘socialist’ ideas don’t al-ways come with a ‘D’ on theballot. I still have great con-cern that continued ignoring oflaws and societal breakdowncould lead to that ‘worst of allchoices’ we see in Europe now– anarchy.”

D.B.

“While not really a surprise,I was very interested in theresults of the Issue 3 vote. Itlost by a landslide, however Iam guessing it may havepassed if the backers had notinsisted on creating a monopo-ly for manufacture and dis-tribution of the leafy lethargyinducing product. There aremore reasons out there to ap-prove legalization than dis-approve it, but sentient Amer-icans are inherently opposed tomonopolies of any kind. I wishour current ‘leaders’ wouldunderstand that better beforeallowing the recent mega-mergers of the airlines, oilcompanies and cable provid-ers. Those things we were notallowed to vote for or against,and that is wrong. I am bettingthat we will vote again on mar-ijuana legalization and if theycraft it properly, the resultswill be vastly different.”

M.J.F.

“I was mildly surprisedIssue 3 on legalizing retailmarijuana was defeated. The

passage of this issue was con-flicted by Issue 2 for disallow-ing the marijuana monopolies.Monopolies were voted downalso. There should have beenan attempt to look at medicalmarijuana only, as a first stepwith no monopolies. That iswhat most other states whoallow it have done. Ohio gotgreedy on both ideas (retailand monopoly) and lost. I sus-pect there will be a secondattempt along the lines sug-gested here. Like Casinos lookfor neighboring states to passthese issues first and reap thetax revenues from Ohioans. GoFigure!”

MEGVOGEL/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Bundles of grass decorate eachtable at the pro-Issue 3 party inColumbus Nov. 3.

“Why all the shootings?”was the headline story in arecent edition of The Cincin-nati Enquirer.

It was an in-depth accountof all the senseless shootingsand murders that have takenplace in Cincinnati’s neigh-borhoods this year. To say thevery least, the essence of thestory was a tragic commen-tary on young life in today’scities. The writer noted a myr-iad of solutions suggested andrecommended to solve theproblems of today’s innercityyouth. They ranged from com-munity policing, more footpatrols, etc. Sadly none arequick fixes and realistically allinvolve community strategiesthat are inclusive, transparentand based on known success.

Although the article devot-ed a couple of sentences toeducation in the inner city, itwas certainly not a focus ofthe highlighted proposed ac-tions.

Anyone connected witheducation knows that each

moment achild spendsinside theschool and itsclassrooms aremoments filledwith conse-quences andbenefits. Someare immedi-ately identifi-able, while

others are locked within hu-man closets of expectations,influences and dreams.

When a 13-year-old child iseither a victim or a shooter,every teacher or school offi-cial who touched that person’slife probably saw some sign,behavior pattern or socialconnection that led to an ab-horrent lethal outcome. In factthe child was more than likelyin someone’s classroom justbefore the tragic incidentoccurred. It is unfortunatethat the article did not offerany commentary regardingthis aspect of each child’s life.After all at least a two thirds

of child’s waking hours arespent within the walls of aschool.

Just think about it. A 13-year-old child who is the per-petrator or victim of a viciouscrime was a member of some-one’s first-grade class onlyseven years earlier. What hap-pened to that youngster duringthat short span of time? Whoinfluenced life changingchoices? Why was there moreself perceived security withina gang than in a family? Wasschool a setting for innumera-ble experiences of perpetualfailure? Did an inability toapply basic literacy skills tothe demands of school lead tosuch insufferable frustration,that life on the street became asuccessful alternative? And inwhat point in time did the theyoungster, move from theschool’s opaque cocoon ofsecurity to the security of thestreet?

Obviously, there are aninfinite number of events,contacts,and village influences

that shaped a tragedy in wait-ing.

I would be willing to betthat the vast majority of teach-ers could easily identify chil-dren who are prone for life’smost vulnerable and tragiccircumstances. All too oftentheir observations are eitherrejected or even worse, deniedby other significant adults in achild’s life. Despite multiple,collaborative actions to createa path of acceptable opportuni-ties for students at risk ofpursuing a life of crime, theirefforts, often personal, aremet by a sense of despair andprolonged sadness. Until alevel of trust, understanding,and cooperation is establishedamong all of members of thevillage where the child israised, this uninterruptedculture of violence is doomedto continue...

“We cannot afford toreduce taxes, reduce in-come, until we have in sighta program of expenditurethat shows that the factorsof income and outgo will bebalanced.” - Dwight DavidEisenhower.

President Eisenhowerwas the Republican versionof a Democratic Socialist(Bernie Sandersnow holds that title).His greatestachievement wasthe very SocialisticInterstate HighwaySystem, the largestpublic works pro-ject in the history ofthe world. I havegreatly enjoyed 1.75million-plus miles oftravel on thosetrails. The inter-states have been a hugeasset for businesses largeand small.

Gen. Eisenhower wasSupreme Allied Command-er during WWII. He was thelast general to win a war.He expanded Social Securi-ty and passed the CivilRights Act of 1957. Depart-ing office, he warned us ofthe military-industrial com-plex.

I lived with my parentsduring the early ‘50s; theywere very good times. Mypart-time minimum wagejob paid more than enoughto cover all of my expenses(car, fuel, insurance, re-pairs, food, entertainment,dating and small gifts). Youcould earn enough duringthe summer working a con-struction job, to pay foryour college expenses thecoming year. There were nostudent loans. Perhaps weshould seriously considerreturning to the economicstructures of the ’50s.

How very far we havefallen since the great menof my youth. Those holdingpositions of power todayare filled with a self-righ-teous sense that their “God-

given” beliefs are the onlycorrect beliefs, their ideasare the only correct ideasand none of them will workto solve our nation’s prob-lems within a framework ofmutual respect and cooper-ation with the heathens onthe “other side.”

They are the “New Puri-tans.” They believe that

they were put onthis earth to foisttheir beliefs on you.You are the sinner.Your ideas are thebane of society andthe cause for thedestruction of theseUnited States. Pop-pycock.

Trump is correctwhen he states that“very stupid peo-ple” lead us; howev-

er, Trump’s tax proposal isnot a “tax cut for the middleclass.” He eliminates mostof the deductions; so, it isan increase for the middleclass, and a reduction forthe 1 percent. The net ef-fect of his tax proposal willbe an income shortfall,which will add to the debt.The last large tax cuts weremade during a time of greattaxable activity in the stockmarket. That is no longerthe case. Taxes must beraised to cover the costs ofa civilized society. Yes, thismeans that if we don’t, weare uncivilized.

What would “Ike” thinkabout today’s presidentialcandidates? Four Repub-lican candidates believethat it is proper for a 10-year-old girl to be forced tocarry a rape baby to term,and be forced to give birth.Two believe that women,who wish to give up chil-dren for adoption, shouldpublish their sex historiesin a major newspaper.

What do you believe?

Along with the seasonal al-lergies and various “bugs” thatbit Midwest residents duringthe fall, the Sycamore HighSchool basketball team hasbeen bitten by the proverbial in-jury bug.

The Lady Aves have alreadyhad a pair of ACL tears on theteam, including one in the kneeof three-year varsity starterEvie Goodyear, who was in-jured in a summer lacrossetournament. Another starterdidn’t return to focus on la-crosse.

That could make things diffi-cult for a team that was 5-18 lastseason and 3-13 in the treacher-ous Greater Miami Conference.Two starters return in 6-footsenior Julia Copfer and 5-foot-8senior Taylor Miller. Copferwas GMC second team last sea-son and was the team’s top scor-er at nearly 10 points per game.She also was an 84 percent freethrow shooter.

“I arguably think she mightbe the best spot-up shooter inthe GMC,” third-year coach De-rek Christerson said. “Julia hasimproved tremendously. Thissummer she dedicated herselfinto getting into better shapeand lost 20 pounds. It’s only go-ing to help her this year and thenext level.”

Senior Grace Louis, juniorLena Harper and sophomoresKelsey and Mackenzie Kandilwill also fill important roles.Christerson refers to Louis andthe team’s heart and motor. TheLady Aves also have somepromising freshmen on the rise.

“There will be a lot of un-knowns to start this year,”Christerson said. “The onething that has been consistent isour togetherness and buyinginto the team concept. Our fo-cus will be on execution and lim-iting turnovers this season. Ifwe do those two things, we’ll

have a better year than the lasttwo.”

Sycamore opens against Ur-suline Nov. 20 at Sycamore Mid-dle School, before returning tothe home high school floor Nov.24 against Middletown to beginup the GMC schedule.

“Our league top to bottom isgoing to be tough,” Christersonsaid. “Mason and Lakota Westcould be the two best teams inthe state.”

After three straight winningseasons the Indian Hill girlsbasketball team is after thatelusive Cincinnati Hills Leaguechampionship. Coach ChrisArington’s Lady Braves werethird last season, but would likewin their first league title since2012.

From 2009-2012, the LadyBraves won four straight CHLcrowns.

Last year’s squad was 14-11(8-6 CHL) with tournamentwins against Blanchester andMount Healthy, before bowingto McNicholas in early March.Three starters return in Saman-

tha Arington, Marshana Baskinand Ellie Schaub.

Sam Arington and Baskinare seniors and Schaub is a ju-nior. Arington averaged 15.7points per game for third in theleague. Schaub was fourth inthe league in steals with 2.8 andaveraged 15 points per game.In

“Sam and Ellie are returningfirst team all-CHL and Marsha-na was second team,” Aringtonsaid.

Coach Arington is also look-ing for an infusion of talentfrom freshman Karisa Grandi-son.

CHCA guard Kat Williams recentlycommitted to Denison, and wastabbed by coach Rowland as one ofthe players he will lean on this year.

PIQUA - Three-time de-fending state champion Cold-water was as advertised, de-feating Cincinnati Hills Chris-tian Academy in the DivisionV playoffs 44-14.

The Cavaliers moved to12-0 on the season in a gamethat went to a running clocktwice due to the 30-point ad-vantage.

Coldwater scored on itssecond possession after fum-bling on the first. Inside the 50,senior quarterback JackHemmelgarn averted a sack,pivoted and dumped the ball toChris Post to get the ball to the16-yard line. On the next play,senior Aaron Harlamert fin-ished the job and Kyle McKib-ben’s extra point made it 7-0.

Senior Johnny Noyen ral-lied CHCA back and floated a44-yard completion to juniorAdam Baker to get to the Cold-water 27.

The Cavaliers came intothe game having not given up apoint all season in the firstquarter. That remained thecase as the first period endedat fourth and two on the eight-yard line.

The second quarter beganwith Noyen getting stuffed bythe Coldwater defense.

Hemmelgarn then engi-neered a 92-yard drive forColdwater, culminating in a 21-yard touchdown pass to Postfor a 14-0 lead.

CHCA responded with adrive featuring Noyen eludingsacks and eventually spottingBaker at the three-yard line.

Junior Kesean Gamblerambled in on the next play toput the Eagles on the board.The extra point was missedand it was 14-6.

An eight-point halftimedeficit wasn’t to be though asColdwater returned down-field, with Hemmelgarn hit-ting a wide open McKibben foranother score and a 21-6 ad-vantage.

After halftime, Coldwaterenforced its will on CHCA toopen the third quarter.

The Cavaliers got a longkick return from junior NealMuhlenkamp to the 32, then

eventually scored on an 11-yard jet sweep by Harlamert.

Muhlenkamp then pickedoff Noyen on the next series,setting up Post for a one-yardscore. The 190-pound backthen popped in for Coldwateragain for a 41-6 lead and a thirdquarter running clock.

The Eagles followed up bybecoming just the secondteam to score 14 points onColdwater. A Noyen pass toGamble, plus a roughing pen-alty put the ball at the 10.

The 233-pound Gamblethen scored the touchdownand caught Noyen’s two-pointpass with under 10 minutesleft.

Division VI power MarionLocal also had 14 points onColdwater this season.

From there, Coldwaterused Post to run the clockdown and eventually got a 29-yard chip shot from McKib-ben for the game’s final points.

FAIRBORN – Mount NotreDame volleyball players leftthe court at Wright State’s Nut-ter Center Saturday eveningwith more than a little historyin their possession.

They walked off after beat-ing Dublin Coffman in threesets in the Division I Ohio statefinal with a state record ninestate volleyball titles overall,one more than both CincinnatiSt. Ursula and Newark Catho-lic.

It was the third straightstate title and the fourth in fiveyears for the Cougars. MountNotre Dame is the only schoolto win three straight in Ohioand now the Cougars have doneit twice. Mount Notre Damealso won three straight from1998-2000.

“It’s special,” Mount NotreDame coach Joe Burke said. “Ithink Mount Notre Dame is aspecial school. I think the vol-leyball program is filled withspecial people. It’s just one ofthose things that we can ownfor a little bit.”

But perhaps most of all, theCougars’ 25-23, 25-23, 25-20 winover Coffman added a happyending to what at times was atough season.

“It’s amazing,” senior Syd-ney Mukes said. “It’s not likeany other feeling I’ve had be-fore. Just because it was mysenior year, I definitely wantedto go out with a bang, wanting tojust leave a mark on the MNDprogram.

“It’s a huge relief from thiswhole season and all the hardwork we put in, knowing it allworked out.”

Mount Notre Dame finishedthe season with a 22-6 record,ending the season on a seven-match winning streak follow-ing back-to-back losses on Oct.10 to Kentucky powerhousesMercy Academy and LouisvilleSacred Heart.

With a couple chancesthroughout the year to doubtthemselves, the Cougars neverdid. Not after a second loss toleague rival Ursuline Oct. 1 athome on Senior Night and cer-tainly not with a 15-6 record andone regular-season match toplay Oct. 10.

“I don’t think it was everyreally out of reach,” senior Da-ni Szczepanski said. “Therewere moments sometimeswhen we had to work harderthan others, but there was nev-er a time we wanted to give upor that (state) was somethingwe couldn’t reach.”

The Cougars beat St. Henryin the regular-season finale andwent on a tear in the postsea-son. Along the way, Mount No-tre Dame avenged the two reg-ular-season losses to Ursulinewith a win in the regional finalNov. 7 and an early season lossto Toledo St. Ursula with a winFriday in the state semifinals.

“There were points in theseason when we struggled,”Burke said. “We put together areally tough schedule and weeven beefed it up from lastyear. It was to test us and to putus in situations that are hardand tough. Throughout theyear, we got better at it. By theend of the regular season, wewere better but not there yet.We kind of gave the girls a fewdays break and we got awayfrom volleyball for like fivedays and then came back andthe girls went to work.”

By Saturday, there was nodenying the Cougars theirplace in history.

Mount Notre Dame outlast-ed Coffman 25-23 in the first set

behind seven kills by Szczepan-ski and rallied to win Set 2, 25-23, after trailing several timesduring a back-and forth set thatincluded 16 ties. The Cougarswon seven of the final 10 sec-ond-set points and the last twoto break away from a 23-23 tie.

“With our league and withthe schedule we put together,those girls are used to playingtight sets,” Burke said. “In thefirst set when it was tied up, Isaid, ‘Hey, this is what we do.This is what we play. We makeplays at the end,’ and we wereable to do that. I’m so veryproud of them.”

Mount Notre Dame woneight of the last 13 points in thethird set to secure the title.Szczepanski and Mukes eachfinished with 13 kills. Seniorsetter Cara Smith had 28 as-sists. Senior Sabrina Wolf made13 digs and senior Erin McCar-thy added 12.

“There is a special group ofseniors in there that have donealot for me and that goes for thewhole team,” Burke said. “Theyhave done a lot for me personal-ly, and that’s why I’m so proudof them.”

And for the third straightseason, the Cougars left aschampions.

“There is no better feeling,”Szczepanski said. “I couldn’timagine it any other way.

“That just shows how amaz-ing our coaching staff is andhow our athletic program doeseverything for us and just thekind of athletes they help us tobe.”

Rogers shared leagueCoach of the Year honors withUrsuline’s Keith Starks, butwill now have to operate with-out Naomi Davenport (Co-GGCL Player of the Year) andDani Kissel. Both have movedon to college basketball. Over-all, Rogers lost six seniors.

Seniors Abbie Scholz andAbby Weeks return after fin-ishing GGCL second team andhonorable mention, respec-tively, as juniors. Scholzshould be back from rehab-bing an ACL injury in January.

From the MND volleyballteam comes junior Maria Pis-ciotta.

“I’m excited to get her back,she’s the physical part that weneed,” Rogers said.

MND also will have seniorChase Bauer helping out un-derneath and 6-foot-1 AbbyVoss who has shown improve-ment. Gabbie Marshall and Ju-lia Hoefling should also playmajor roles.

Rogers views this year’sGGCL as a tossup.

“I think everyone’s got ashot this year, honestly,” hesaid. “We have experience, butwe’re playing so many youngkids, it’s going to be a process.Playing at the intensity levelwe need to play is our chal-lenge right now.”

The Cougars open up at La-kota West Nov. 28 and thenstart with Seton in the GGCLDec. 3.

“It’s definitely a challenge,”Rogers said of the MND sched-ule. “You want kids to have funand have success. To do that,you have to understand howhard you have to play.”

Steve Rowland enters hisfirst season as the coach atCHCA after previously coach-ing the school’s junior highboys team and spending eightseasons as a girls coach in Chi-cago.

He returns to the area andbrings with him a wide-openoffense.

“It allows the kids to play,”he said. “There aren’t any pat-terns. The girls are readingand reacting to what the balldoes and what the defensegives them. They are doingphenomenally with it.”

He added the girls seem tobe enjoying it because it’ssomething they haven’t had inseasons past.

Players such as Kat Wil-liams, who recently commit-ted to Denison, Tegan Osborneand Kennedi Toney havepicked the new scheme upquickly. They will also be someof the girls the Eagles willcount on to lead the team thisyear.

“We’re senior-heavy andI’m excited about that,” Row-land said. “I’m very optimisticabout the season.”

Last season, Ursuline Acad-emy was led by its guards likeAli Schirmer and Megan Ogli-bee.

In 2015, the Lions will leanheavily on their post playerslike Maddie Stuhlreyer.

“Maddie is going to be ourbread and butter,” coach KeithStarks said. “She’s receivingoffers and interest from Divi-sion I programs. We’ll go asshe goes. This is the tallestteam I’ve had in my five yearshere.”

Of course, teams are goingto gear up and try to stop Stuhl-reyer. Players like ClaudiaJohnson and Olivia McCloy,who took a break from basket-ball last year, will help providealternative scoring options.

If everything adds up, theteam could find itself alone inthe program’s record book.

“Our goal every year is towin the GGCL,” Starks said.“But after that, an Ursulineteam has never won a districtchampionship. This team isshowing it has the nucleus. Thegirls just have to show up andplay.”

Brian Gath, an or-dained elder with theUnited Methodist Church,has been named associatepastor at St. Paul Commu-nity United MethodistChurch with the title offamily ministry pastor.

Gath helped lead theMadeira church earlierby serving as interim sen-ior pastor from Novem-ber 2013 to February 2014during a transitional peri-od between pastors. Hewill serve with the Rev.Dr. Raponzil Drake, thechurch’s pastor sinceMarch 2014.

“I'm excited for the op-portunities to help thepeople of St. Paul Churchreach out to the familiesof our community,” Gathsaid. “As the father of twoyoung children, I know

how difficult it can be toinstill the right values andI can't wait to help otherswho are facing the samechallenges.”

He noted that, thisspring, St. Paul’s mem-bers adopted family min-istry as the church’s pri-mary focus, “an inspira-tion to me and a good indi-cator of where theirhearts are.” The ministerand his wife, Amy, movedto Blue Ash with theirchildren in 2013.

Before moving to Cin-cinnati, Gath served twoyears as associate pastorfor welcoming and con-nections at Linworth Unit-ed Methodist in Worthing-ton, Ohio. He also directedthe youth.ministry there.

For the previous sixyears, he was associate

pastor at Indian Run Unit-ed Methodist Church inDublin. At that church, hehandled a range of respon-sibilities, from marketingto website development tooverseeing constructionduring a building pro-gram.

“Brian did an extraor-dinary job as pastor at In-dian Run UMC,” said theRev. Jim Lillibridge, nowlead pastor at UrbanaUMC. “He’a self-starter.”He said Gath “possessesstrong leadership skillsand did a great job devel-oping the ministry leadersaround him.”

Gath graduated magnacum laude from the mas-ters program in divinityfrom Drew TheologicalSchool in Madison, NewJersey. While in New Jer-

sey he fulfilled his firstchurch appointment: as-sistant pastor at TrinityUMC in Hackettstown.

Before gravitating tothe ministry, Gath earneda degree in mechanicalengineering from OhioState and worked sixyears for ArmstrongWorld Industries, rising tosenior staff engineer atthe Georgia-based compa-ny.

In his new Ohio home-town, Gath serves as aleader of Cub Pack 189,secretary of the MapleDale PTO and a memberof the Blue Ash.Recrea-tion Committee. For thepast six years, he has vol-unteered with RACESearch and Rescue, whosemission is to find, rescueand recover missing per-

sons. That activism isseen by his new congrega-tion as further evidence of

Gath’s willingness to helptackle challenges and helpthose in need.

Members of the General Assem-

bly clearly voiced their support for

a smoke-free Kentucky bill for the

2015 session last week that mirrors

previously failed legislation in 2014.

Denouncing the argument that a

smoke-free bill prohibiting smoking

in public places would kill business,

Brent Cooper, a business owner

from northern Kentucky, said not

only are businesses prospering

across the Ohio River in Cincinnati

with a smoke-free law, but that the

pubs in Ireland haven’t shut down

since the country put a ban on

smoking in the workplace 10 years

ago.Many legislators conferred that

public smoking was indefensible in

Kentucky given the state’s bad

health ratings compared to other

states throughout the U.S.

According to testimony from

Wayne Meriwether, CEO of Twin

Lakes Regional Medical Center,

second-hand smoke is just as dan-

gerous for those that don’t smoke.

all Kentuckians smoke. We lead the
