piles for our school gar-dens. It’s also an integralpart of our science curri-culum and is introducedat a very young age.”

It starts in first grade,when students learnabout the needs of plantsand other living things.

“Through this begin-ning, students are intro-duced to and take part inour daily composting pro-gram that has fourthgraders collecting ma-terials from lunch for ourcompost bin,” Garry Hay-den, who heads the pri-mary schools’ scienceprogram. The compostmaterial is used in theschool garden.

“In third grade, stu-dents study earth's re-sources, the focus beingthat of conservation ofearth's resources,” he

said. “The idea of reduc-ing the use and/or waste ofthe earth's resources is animportant concept of thethird grade program.”

Those lessons continueat Wyoming MiddleSchool.

“We are always focus-ing on recycling in themiddle school,” PrincipalTiffany Brennan said.“We have recycling binsin our cafeteria and ourstudent council membersare in charge of managingthe recycling bins onceper week. It is very impor-tant to teach our studentsto be good stewards of ourenvironment.”

The city’s recycling ef-forts, from kids to adultsto businesses, continuesto expand.

“As a community weare committed to mini-mizing material enteringthe waste stream whichincludes not just recycla-bles that can go into ourcurbside totes but also or-ganic material like leavesand food waste,” CityCouncilmember JenniferEismeier said.

“And with participa-tion by Wyoming busi-nesses and Wyoming CitySchools, we have beenable to divert even more -including clothing andcardboard,” said Eis-meier, who is also execu-tive director of the MillCreek Watershed Councilof Communities . “We areso pleased to be among thetop recyclers in the regionand will continue our ef-

forts to keep as much aswe can out of the landfill.”

Anderson TownshipAnderson Township re-

ceived the Best TownshipRecycling Award fromthe Hamilton County Re-cycling and Solid WasteDistrict. With a recyclingrate of 14.97 percent, An-derson has the highest re-cycling rate of any town-ship in Hamilton County.

Anderson TownshipAssistant Administratorfor Human Resources Su-zanne Parker said thatwhen she started workingfor the township 20 yearsago it was as a recyclingintern.

“Anderson has alwaysbeen one of the top if notthe top recycling commu-nity in Hamilton County,”she said. The recognitionis nice and is appreciated,Parker said. Andersonhas long been a “very re-cycling oriented commu-nity.”

Like many townships,Anderson residents sub-scribe individually forcurbside recycling. Near-ly 60 percent of residentssubscribe for the pro-gram. Anderson has oneof the largest recyclingdrop off locations in Ham-ilton County as well with27 containers picked upthree times per week.This recently remodeledrecycling center is locat-ed behind the BeechmontFire Station, 7954 Beech-mont Ave.

Anderson also wraps

up its recycling campaigneach year at its drop offrecycling center by pro-viding a 30-yard containerused for additional recy-cling from wrapping pa-per and other holiday re-cyclable trash.

Symmes TownshipRecycling containers

can be found in several lo-cations in Symmes Town-ship, Fiscal Officer CarolSims said. The townshipalso has two clean-up daysfor residents.

“We recently did ourfirst “Shred Day” and willbe offering that againnext year. We also collectwaste oil from residentsand others which are usedin two separate furnacelocations,” she said.

The Rumpke drop-offboxes are located at thetownship’s administrationbuilding, Hopewell Mead-ows Park and the CampDennison Nature Trail,Assistant to the Adminis-trator Luanne Felter said.During the clean-up days,residents can bring trash,old furniture, tires, oil andmetal items for disposal.

The services come atan expense, $14,142 in2014, Felter said. Howev-er, that cost is easily cov-ered by the money thetownship receives fromits participation in Hamil-ton County’s ResidentialRecycling Incentive Pro-gram which paid $14,230to Symmes in 2014.

The holiday season istypically a time of gener-osity and giving, a factwhich area panhandlersare ready to exploit.

Panhandlers are out inforce, Hamilton CountySheriff’s Department Dis-trict 3 Commander Lt.Chris Ketteman said. Dur-ing a recent SycamoreTownship Trustee work-

shop, Ket-teman saidone meth-od beingused bypanhan-dlers toscam peo-ple is byfaking a

disabled vehicle.A woman, often with a

child, stands near a vehi-cle with the hood open ask-ing for money to buy gasor fix their car. However,when approached by po-lice or an official in thecommunity the vehicle isusually found to be opera-tional, Ketteman said.

Recently a man andwoman were partiallyblocking an Interstate 71ramp to Kenwood Road,he said. The hood of thecar was open and they

claimed to be out of gas.The car was fine. The re-sponding officers foundneedles in the car.

“They were heroin ad-dicts,” Ketteman said. Theofficers also discoveredthat both the man andwoman had warrants onthem, he said.

Sycamore TownshipBoard of Trustee MemberCliff Bishop said that he’sencountered two similarsituations with people fak-ing a disabled vehicle - onein Dillonvale and the otherin Blue Ash.

The activities of pan-handlers always increasethe closer we get to the

holidays, Hamilton Coun-ty Sheriff’s DepartmentDistrict 5 Commander Lt.Matthew Guy said.

“The broken down ve-hicle and out of gas scamsare just two examples ofhow they will try to capi-talize on citizens’ charity,”he said. “We have alsoseen a trend over recentyears of person(s) claim-ing to be homeless, when,in fact, they have a placeof residence and panhan-dle in lieu of seeking gain-ful employment and pay-ing taxes. A high percent-age of the time their pur-pose for seeking the helpthey claim to need is to

further feed their drug de-pendency.”

Anderson Townshiphad reports of exactlythese types of situationslast year in the parkinglots of Kroger and Target,as well as other retailparking lots. The out-comes of encounters withpersons panhandling canrange from them accept-ing the citizen’s refusalpolitely, to being aggres-sive as a result of a refusalto give them money, to be-ing a pre-planned distrac-tion for a purse snatchingor a robbery, Guy said.

Both Guy and Kette-man recommend that if

residents want to help theless fortunate or people inneed, they should donateto a church or a reputablecharity. In a post on itsFacebook page, SycamoreTownship noted that theHamilton County Sher-iff’s Department warnsresidents against helpingthe “stranded” motorist.Instead, residents are en-couraged to call the non-emergency number of theHamilton County Commu-nications Center, 513-825-2280. In many cases theclaim that the vehicle isbroken down or out of gashas been found to befraudulent.

Ten Israeli visitorsspent the last week ofAugust getting to knowCincinnati in person.

They were hosted byyoung Jewish profes-sionals including Sam-my Kanter of Loveland,Adam Greenberg ofHyde Park, and Max Co-bey and Brianna Pecsokof Wyoming.

The Israelis’ visithere came a little morethan eight months after agroup of young Jewishprofessionals from Cin-cinnati visited Israel inDecember. The ex-change visits with sistercity Netanya, Israel, ispart of the CincinnatiCommunity Birthrightprogram sponsored byTaglit Birthright-Israeland the Jewish Founda-tion of Cincinnati.

“We wanted Israeliyoung adults to see whatJewish life is like inAmerica; what youngadult life is like in Amer-ica,” said Kanter, whohas visited Israel multi-ple times and led thegroup trip there in De-cember “We had fourstaying with us here inLoveland.”

They came to knowone another while tour-ing the whole country -the roots of their Jewishfaith. The visit to Israeldrew them deeper intotheir faith and theirhomeland. The Israelis’visit to Cincinnati maynot offer the same faithconnection, but it doesoffer plenty to strength-en their personal con-nection.

During a whirlwindweek the Israelis toureddowntown Cincinnati,Over-the-Rhine, theFreedom Center, PlumStreet Temple, HebrewUnion College, a Jewishand public school, at-tended a Reds game andthe Reds Hall of Fame,and made workplacestops at P&G Marketing,Cintrifuse, StandardTextile, and the law of-fice of Katz, Teller,Brant and Hild. Whatstood out for them?

“The Reds game stoodout. They had literally noexposure to baseball.They had no idea what itwas,” Kanter said.“There’s such a culture.Everyone knows what todo, when to do it, what toeat, even how you cheer,when you cheer; thingswe don’t really thinkabout. They were fasci-

nated. They felt like thewhole experience waspure America.”

Kanter calls the PlumStreet Temple a “Cincin-nati gem” and said thevisitors from Israelwere fascinated by it aswell. It is far more or-nate than those they areused to at home. At homeis exactly how AdamGreenberg felt in Israel.

“It was emotionallyinspirational,” Green-berg said. “There weredefined moments when Ifelt connected to home inIsrael. I was able to con-nect more spiritually inIsrael.”

In fact, each of theyoung Jewish profes-sionals from Cincinnatifelt the “connection” totheir religious homelandduring the visit. It drewthem closer, inspired therelationships. Theystayed in touch sharinggroup updates every Fri-day about how the trip toIsrael affected them intheir daily lives. It ledthem to host the ten Is-raeli visitors here.

“Fast forward eightmonths, they arrived,had gotten off the plane,I met them,” Greenbergsaid. “I was just over-joyed to see them aftereight months.”

They have names. BarTorbatti, Gili Sharon, Ya-hav Bronstien, RotemYaccobi, Chen Ganch,Dean Sinai, Tzlil Maimo-nie, Inbar Ayalon, Shar-ly Maimonie, and Ami-chai Murdechay allstayed at the homes ofthe hosts. Sharing meals,like breakfast beforethey began their day atthe Jewish CommunityCenter, or the traditionalShabbat Dinner, createdspecial moments for thehosts and their visitors.

Brianna Pecsok said itwas really special beingable to share her Wyo-ming home with TzlilMaimonie, who openedher home for them in Is-rael. It was nice for herto be able to show whather home and what herlife is like here. Every-thing Cincinnati was abig deal for Tzlil includ-ing stopping the car to

get a photo of a deer. Pec-sok didn’t get to spendthe whole day with herguest every day. She didfor all of the evening ac-tivities.

“It was good to de-brief with her after theday; kind of get her takeon stuff,” Pecsok said.“It was more personalthan in a big group dis-cussion. They were in-terested in how we prac-tice Judaism here. Shewas blown away by theFreedom Center here.”

They live in a societythat is a Jewish society.They hear about Ameri-cans and AmericanJews. This visit to theU.S., to Cincinnati, al-lows them to meet Amer-icans and AmericanJews and learn how theirfaith is practiced here.There are programs andactivities here to sup-port Jews in keepingtheir Jewish faith identi-ty alive. That is some-thing different thanwhat the visitors experi-ence at home in Israelwhere Judaism is theirculture.

“It is a personal jour-ney for each individual,”Cobey said. “I wanted toshow them Cincinnati,the city I love, and buildU.S. and Israeli relation-ships.”

Building relation-ships across the globewith sister city Netanyain Israel is only one partof the Jewish Founda-tion of Cincinnati goal tokeep the Jewish faithalive in their youth.Showing how we are allalike as people, brothersand sisters in faith, is alesson learned by theseyoung Jewish profes-sionals in our communi-ty.

“We’re no differentthan anybody else,”Adam Greenberg said.“I’m no different thanyou; you’re no differentthan me. We just havedifferent beliefs. It’sabout helping out thecommunity. That goes along way.”

I should practice what I preach. Youknow how I’m always telling you at thebeginning of the holiday season to stock upon staples, like sugar, butter, flour, etc.Well, guess what I ran out of today? Allthree!

I had barely enough brown sugar andbutter to make yet another test recipe ofthe Williams Sonoma hot fudge chocolatesauce that I’ve been asked to clone.

In my defense, though, I started theseason out with what I thought was plenty,but with all the classes, presentations and plainold fun cooking for family and friends, I did runout.

But that’s OK. A trip to the grocery was amuch needed break from the kitchen.

Crunchy white peppermint barkSee the bark in the photo? I have that

recipe, along with more good bark recipeson my Abouteating.com site.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen: Sticky,stuck lids

To avoid this on jars of honey, corn syr-up, etc., spray the inside of the lid and alsothe outside rim of the jar.

Rita’s clone of Williams Sonoma’s hot fudgesauce

Oh my gosh, I think I nailed it! Talk about a nice gift fromthe kitchen, not to mention easy and a lot less expensive thanstore bought. Plus the love you put into this is priceless.

For Marcia in Deer Park and Natalie in Indian Hill. This is asclose as I can get to their hot fudge sauce. Wms Sonoma’s doesn’thave corn syrup in theirs, but in order to get the consistency andshine I wanted, I added some. Using a high quality chocolate baris important. Don’t use chocolate chips. This doubles easily andlooks as good as it tastes.

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, good quality1/3 cup whipping cream5 tablespoons light corn syrup8 oz bittersweet chocolate bar, chopped2-1/2 tablespoons salted butter (if using unsalted, add a

pinch of salt)3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar

In a heavy saucepan, stir the cocoa powder and whippingcream until smooth. Then turn heat to medium and add rest ofingredients. As it cooks, stir constantly with a whisk. When it startto hit a gentle bubbling boil all over, let it alone and continue tocook like that for 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to marry andproduces a depth of flavor found in hot fudge. Let it cool, andstore, covered in frig. It will get too firm to pour, so warm it gent-ly before using.

Rita’s clone of Williams Sonoma’s peppermintfudge sauce

OK so they don’t carry this anymore but when they did, Icouldn’t get enough of it. So what I did was made another batchof fudge sauce and added a teaspoon of pure peppermint extractafter I pulled it from the stove. All I’ll say is I ate way too muchstraight from the pan.

Crockpot bourbon glazed salami

From Kim, a member of my recipe group. She’s a down-towner, and said, “This was another Thanksgiving recipe that wasgone in minutes.” So, you can’t get a better recommendationthan that. Kim usually buys whole kosher salami for this, since shefinds that works best. What an unusual appetizer for a holidaygathering!

Large whole salami 1 cup apricot preserves1/2 cup maple syrup2 tablespoons bourbon

Slice the salami – about one inch. Then cut each slice intoquarters. (You want bite size piece to fit on a toothpick) Put intocrock-pot. Combine the other three ingredients together. Poorover salami and mix together so every piece is covered. Cover andcook on low for 6 hours. Put on a plate with toothpicks.

Tip: Substitute kielbasa for the salami if you prefer.

Dec. 2 questionWhat is your favorite

Christmas song? Which art-ist’s version do you prefer?

"’Oh Holy Night’ capturesthe essence of Christmas.Since I saw Sarah Bright-man in a live performancehere in Cincinnati, no otherwoman's voice carries any-thing like the power andrange she does. This song re-quires both power and emo-tion. We lost the last incred-ible tenor with the death ofMario Lanza, who did thebest male version of thesong. Charlotte Church alsohas enough power for thesong and, for those who don'tcare for the ‘operatic’ qual-ity of the other two, she canmake you weep.”

D.B.

“The seasonal, holidaysong I love is ‘Fairytale ofNew York’ by the Pogues,with Shane MacGowan andKristy MacColl on vocals.The tune is cinematic inscope with a humorous poi-gnancy, keeping it fresh forme year to year.”

C.S.

“Frankly, none of them. Ifit existed, I suppose I wouldreally enjoy ‘Christmas isOver’ by the group Finally. Ilove the religious meaningsbehind Christmas and thefact that it is a great excusefor families to reconnect,but the commercial side ofChristmas has so over-whelmed everything aboutthe season and the non-stopcommercials on TV, radioand the Internet make mewant to vomit. I know I am ina very small minority, butthe Christmas we celebratetoday is a far cry from theone 2015 years ago. I am,however, a staunch believerthat this time of the yearmust be called Christmasand not the Holiday Season.”

M.J.F.

“My favorite Christmassong is a duet by Bing Cros-by & David Bowie – “Peaceon Earth/Little DrummerBoy” from Bing’s 1977Christmas TV show. Crosbyand Bowie were two total op-posite singing talents har-monizing two great classicholiday songs. This duet canbe seen and heard on You-Tube. Now if only the rest ofthe world could harmonizefor the holidays then theremight be some real peace onearth. Go Figure!”

John Scales

“I am a travel agent, and Ihave two travel agent col-leagues who were there lastweek and this week. Both arereporting it is business asusual over there – peopleeating at cafes, shopping,visiting tourist sites, withonly the addition of somemore police/military on thestreets and that was a com-forting sight. Both also saidtheir planes were only abouthalf full. With the exchangerate being so favorable, nowis a fantastic time to go toFrance. If I had the time andthe money, I would be on thenext flight over!”

The new fallen snow on thestreet and side walk glistenedin the darkness from the glowof multicolored holiday lightsdraped across Corbin Kentuck-y’s underpass, a gateway toopportunity and farawayplaces.

To the south parallel rows ofstreet lamps glowing in theDecember night converged ona brilliantly lighted two storydepot, the town’s beacon toholiday travelers. The station’ssteel gray double doorsadorned with twin hollywreaths welcomed all comersas they trudged up a staircasethat led them from the dampfrosty air into the brightly litwaiting room.

Inside, a line had formed infront of the open ticket windowwhere a man wearing wirerimmed glasses collected mon-ey and disbursed tickets tovarious northern destinations.Dressed in a black woolen coatand red head scarf a grand-mother quietly sat next to hergrandson whose wide eyeswere absorbing the movementsof everyone in sight.

Outside, snow lined theeaves of the peaked roofs sus-pended above the three dimlyilluminated platforms thatseparated the tracks. Lowhanging clouds that looked likeangel hair on a Christmas treeproduced large flakes of wetsnow that danced through theair as they fell toward the fro-

zen rails below.Somewhere

in the distancetwo long, oneshort and an-other long muf-fled whistlesblared from theFlamingo’sengine as itapproached arail crossing ahalf mile south

of its next stop. Through thedarting snowflakes one couldsee a spot of light appear slight-ly above the point where thetwo rails seemed to meet. Asthe beam grew larger, a line ofpeople paraded from thewarmth of the station’s waitingroom to the slab of concretethat bordered track numberfive.

Suddenly, the royal blue andyellow striped dual engineswith the familiar L&N red crestemblazoned on their front cowl-ings roared past the south endof the platform. One low whis-tle signaled the train’s arrival,while the hissing of air, and theshriek of steel against steelpierced the stillness of theevening as train number 18came to a screeching stop. Theconductor and flagman attiredin their customary gold but-toned overcoats and capsplaced portable dimpled stepsat the foot of the entrance totwo heavy weight blue pas-senger coaches.

After the last passengerdetrained the conductor andflagman reversed their rou-tines to assist those travelingnorthbound into the half emptycoaches. Meanwhile, the ticketagent punctured a brief quietmoment with an announcementof the train’s impending depar-ture.

As the front engine’s head-light searched northwardthrough the swirling flakes ofsnow, everyone had vacated theplatform except the conductorwho stoically stood with his lefthand raised toward the engine.“All aboard!” he cried. Theengineer blew the whistletwice, released the air brakesand nudged the throttle for-ward. With each wheel turningin unison, the train once againcame to life, while a star atopthe town’s water tower shinedin the distance.

When the faintly lightedpassenger cars crossed theoverpass just north of the sta-tion, one could see the grand-mother and grandson wavinggood-bye to a place known ashome. Just before the traindisappeared into the snow cov-ered night, the twin red lan-terns anchored to the last coachblinked as if to say, “And to all agood night!”

The scariest part of growingup is being forced to competewith your older siblings andneighbors.

After that comes the compe-tition with school mates and thevarious sports you are encour-aged to participate in. Takesome time to think over theterrible feelings you had. Someof us never outgrow the dreadwe endured. A few of us learnfrom the experience and startto become competitive. Themajority give it a modest trialand succeed to the extent theyare satisfied.

Throughout our lives alltypes of competition are forcedupon us. There are grades, so-cial contacts, obtaining a job,acquiring a mate, promotions,sports for some of us and that isjust a few of the dilemmas weface.

What I want to encourage isfor you to take charge of yourfuture by becoming compet-itive. Without going into detail,it worked for me. You don’thave to start at the top of anysituation. You merely have tostay “in the game” at your cho-sen level. Success usuallycomes very slowly. One thingyou need to learn is that youimprove yourself by correctingyour mistakes. Your competi-tion will learn from your suc-cesses. So, don’t be afraid tomake small mistakes.

As you go through the educa-tion process there will be manytimes a really good teacher willlead you to better perfor-mances. Sadly, there are manyteachers who are more interest-ed in themselves than in you.Search out the good ones andtry to show improvement tothem. You will be not only re-warded, but be on your way tosuccess.

As you fol-low these sim-ple sugges-tions, your selfconfidence willgrow. Withthat, successwill not be adistant andunsurmount-able target, buta closer andcloser reality.

Don’t be afraid of your first andseemingly unimportant job. Letyour boss or manager know thatyou want to make them gladthey hired you. Promotions orgood recommendations willfollow. Your path to success willnot seem as hard as it once did.

The same holds true if youdecide to take up sports. Thetraining and discipline requiredto become proficient are nodifferent than becoming good inyour chosen career. The maindifference is the physical effortyou have to put out and theskills you have to master. I wasknown as the worst athlete inmy grade school. Many yearslater the gym teacher learnedthat I had an athletic schol-arship in college. He wasamazed. It took many extrahours of devoted practice andexcessive patience, but it wasworth it. Needless to say, theself confidence was of greatvalue in my business career. Itis something that you gain fromhaving earned respect for thediligence you showed in train-ing. Most of all, you will alwaysface competition of some sort inlife. Pay attention to that whichmatters. Ignore the petty is-sues. Just choose wisely and lifewill get more enjoyable as youage.

State issues 2 and 3“I’m against it. I think it will cause

a lot of problems. We already haveenough issues with alcoholism inour society. I think narcotics arebad.”

Larry Grote, Delhi TownshipDonna and William Stotler of

Cheviot said voted in favor of lega-lizing marijuana, specifically be-cause they support medicinal mari-juana.

“If it can help someone who has amedical issue, we’re in favor of it.”

William Stotler, Cheviot“It’s legal in other states. Some-

thing must be going right there.”Eric Marzheuser, Colerain

Township. He voted for Issue 3

New e-book procedures“A middle initial on the drivers

license was causing problems for awhile, but we were able to figureout a work around for some ofthose.

“One of the e-books changed toanother precinct and we had tohave someone come in and repro-gram it. In time, I think it will be OK,but we just have to get the bugsworked out.”

Janice McDonald, deputy judgeat Colerain B and W, Taylor

Elementary School “We had a lot of people who

voted here 10-20-30 years and wecouldn’t find them. Some voters justleft. They didn’t want a provisionalballot. I heard others say they won’tcome back.

“There were problems with com-bining three precincts and therewere some long delays. It’s a wholenew system. There’s going to be alearning curve.”

WYOMING - Defending Cin-cinnati Hills League wrestlingcoach of the year Brian Pitmanis back with another stable ofstars at Wyoming High School.

The Cowboys were second toReading in the CHL, who waswon the league the last 10 years.Pitman returns eight starters insophomore Ethan Tefs at 132pounds, sophomore Yima Nya-mor at138, junior Noah Pitmanat 145, junior Zach Van Fossenat 152, senior Justin Shields at160, senior Luke Kremzar at 170,senior Max Frankel at 220 andsenior Ben Padnos at 285.

Nyamor was a sectionalchampion last season, with

Noah Pitman taking a CHL title.Tefs, Shields and Kremzar weredistrict qualifiers and Van Fos-sen had a 20-win season. Pitmanwas CHL first team, with Tefs,Nyamor, Shields, Kremzar andPadnos making second team.Max Frankel was honorablemention.

“We have small numbers, butvery solid and experiencedwrestlers,” Coach Pitman said.“I look for a number of individ-ual championships at tourna-ments.”

Shields could reach 100 winsthis season and should pass the50-pin mark. Noah Pitmanshould pass the 75-win mark forhis father, as should Kremzar, aformer third-grade student ofBrian Pitman in the Wyomingschool system.

The Cowboys take on Cooper,Taylor and Little Miami Dec. 9,then head for the Deer Park In-vitational Dec. 12. On Dec. 18-19, Wyoming will square off inthe Blanchester Duals.

An individual state qualifiera year ago breeds excitementand confidence even if Prince-ton High School wrestler An-thony Alexander graduated.For the rest of the returningVikings, watching Alexandermarch to state was undoubtedlyinspiring.

Princeton returns some qual-ity wrestlers as well as a bigfreshman class that has coachTy Robbins excited.

Senior D’Alan Wright (160pounds) made it back last sea-son for the postseason, but inju-ry limited him in the regularseason. Senior AbdoulayeGuisse is back in action at 145.Senior Mamadou Deing brokeinto the varsity lineup late lastseason, and Robbins said hewrestled well at sectionals butmissed making districts.

Robbins called sophomore113-pounder Jovan Fuqua a“tough kid.” Fuqua was a keypiece last year for the Vikings.

Sophomore Collin Houston(126) has “probably made themost strides,” since last seasonsaid Robbins. In preparation forthis season, junior Zach John-son (152) suffered an injury, andRobbins said they’re waiting toget him back because he cancertainly help.

“We have about 40 kids out,”said Robbins. “I’m really excit-ed about the freshman classcause we’ve got some really tal-

ented kids … the kids who havewrestled all year work extreme-ly hard, they go to every event,always on time in the practiceroom. They’re good role mod-els, and they won’t to be good,they really do.”

On Dec. 12 Princeton travelsto Kentucky for the Ryle RaiderRumble.

The wrestling Crusaders ofMoeller High School are anx-ious to get back on the mats asthey chase their third consecu-tive Greater Catholic League-South championship. In his firstyear as head coach last season,James Yonushonis directedMoeller to a 14.5 point advan-tage over Elder in the leaguemeet and was named GCL Southcoach of the year.

Ten Crusaders took all-league honors, with five makingfirst team. Among those werecurrent team members JacobyWard at 138 pounds, Brett Bry-ant at 170, Sam Wyche at 182 andJoe Hensley at 285.

Making second team wereMitchell Moore at 106, JakeThompson at 132 and Jack Mey-er at 220.

Senior Jacoby Ward is athree-time state placer and ju-nior Brett Bryant also placed inColumbus last March. JoiningWard and Bryant in the middleweights is junior Drew Hobbswho was out injured last season.

Among the lighter weights,Jake Thompson was a statequalifier as a freshman andMoore had some success at thedistrict meet. Boosting thebunch will be Jordan Ward whohad a very successful junior

high career.Jack Meyer was a state plac-

er and will lead the large men ofMoeller along with state qualifi-er Joe Hensely. Junior The-Moor Kelley was a district qual-ifier as was sophomore SamWyche.

Moeller will next compete inthe Iron Man meet at Walsh Je-suit Dec. 11. They’ll wrap up2015 with the Southwest OhioCoaches Classic Dec. 20 at Har-rison and the Powerade meet atCanon McMillan High School inCanonsburg, PennsyvlaniaDec. 28-30.

“These events will help pre-pare us to take on local rivals El-der and Mason, as well as na-tional powerhouse St. ParisGrahm,” Yonushonis recentlytold The Enquirer. “However,the main goal for us is to bepeaking in February and Marchfor the sectionals, districts andstate (meet).”

The start of Tom Wynn’s ca-reer coaching St. Xavier HighSchool wrestling has been un-forgettable. In Wynn’s first twoseasons, the Bombers made his-tory with back-to-back unde-feated state champions.

Joe Heyob, who now wres-tles at Penn, went unbeaten in2013-14. Cole Jones, who’s play-ing football and wrestling atWest Point, did the unthinkablewhen he duplicated Heyob’sseason in 2014-15.

“It’s gonna be hard” to makeit three in row, Wynn said. Jonesand Heyob – what set themapart – Wynn said, was a tena-

Though a 5-5 season in thevery difficult Greater CatholicLeague-South denied the Moell-er High School football team theplayoffs, one of the Crusaderswill play in the postseason.

Senior 6-foot-5 240-poundtight Jake Hausmann, an OhioState commit, was added to theparticipants in the U.S. ArmyAll-American Bowl and recog-nized on a selection tour stopDec. 1 at Moeller. Ninety play-

ers and 125 marching bandmembers nationwide are invit-ed based on ability and the apti-tude to adapt to challenging sit-uations, similar to Army sol-diers.

The game will take place Jan.9 at San Antonio’s Alamodomeand will be televised live onNBC at 1 p.m.

“It’s a huge honor to be ableto represent Moeller and theU.S. Army,” Hausmann said.

A three-year starter forcoach John Rodenberg, Haus-mann hauled in 50 passes for the

Crusaders this season for 718yards and 11 touchdowns. In-cluded in those totals are an 11-catch game against Don BoscoPrep (New Jersey) and a 13-catch, threetouchdown gameagainst the Canada Prep Acad-emy.

Hausmann also had 39 recep-tions in 2014 when Moellerreached the Division I semifi-nals and 22 as a sophomorewhen the Crusaders won thestate championship over Men-tor.

After his trip to San Antonio,

Hausmann’s next stop will beColumbus where he’ll join fel-low Crusader Sam Hubbardwith the Ohio State Buckeyes.Urban Meyer, along with assis-tants Kerry Coombs and TimHinton, recruited Hausmann.All are familiar with the Cincin-nati area with Meyer attendingthe University of Cincinnati andCoombs and Hinton serving asBearcat assistant coaches un-der Brian Kelly.

“Hopefully they can makethe playoffs,” Hausmann said ofhis future team. “We’ll have to

see how the games turn out.”Hausmann says winning at

The Pit against Elder and acomeback victory againstCleveland St. Ignatius wereamong this year’s highlights.

He doesn’t have a number setaside with the Buckeyes anddoesn’t care what they give him.

“I just want to get on the fieldand earn my stripes,” Haus-mann said.

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.

The success of Cyber Mon-day shows the popularity of theInternet when it comes to bar-gain shopping. If you’re think-ing of buying a used car online,you need to be very careful.

Abbie Denen, of AndersonTownship, says her husbandhad been looking online for aused truck to pull a trailerfrom their home. Denen says,“He found one on Craigslist for$2,000, which was a 2005Dodge Ram 1500.”

Denen was looking at theCincinnati Craigslist websiteand texted the seller that hewas interested. He then re-ceived quite a story from theseller.

“She wasfrom the Leba-non area andhad recentlybeen widowed.The truck waspaid off and had140,000 miles onit. She couldn’tkeep it, it wasgiving her badmemories,”

Denen said.Unfortunately, the more

they got involved trying to buythe truck the more complicat-ed it. It turns out the truckwasn’t nearby in Lebanon – itwas out in Utah. But remem-ber, the seller advertised the

vehicle on the CincinnatiCraigslist website even thoughits thousands of miles away.

To try to keep the Denensinterested, the seller claimedthe vehicle came with an ebayBuyer Protection Plan. In addi-tion, Denen says, “The ship-ping cost would be hers. Ifsomething was wrong with thetruck and we didn’t like it wecould send it back to her. Shewould pay the return shippingcosts.”

How did the seller want tobe paid? The same way manyscammers are operating thesedays. The scammer wantedthem to go to a drug store,deposit the money on a prepaid

debit card and then email apicture of the numbers on theback of the card. The sellercould then strip the $2,000from that debit card.

Denen says they got suspi-cious of the deal when theycouldn’t find any mention ofthe vehicle on ebay Motorswebsite. She called ebay di-rectly and says, “They said ifanyone offers you anythingfrom an outside entity it’s notreal -- and Craigslist is an out-side entity.”

The Denens stopping com-municating with those scam-mers and say they want towarn everyone.

“They’re out there. They’re

still putting things out theresaying they’ll offer you anebay buyer protection plan.That’s when you should run.”

Bottom line; never buy avehicle sight-unseen. Alwaysget a used vehicle checked outby an ASE certified mechanicbefore buying so you knoweverything that’s wrong with itand can make an informeddecision. Finally, beware ofanyone who wants you to payfor something with a prepaiddebit card.
