The Ohio Veterans bo-nus isnot subject to feder-al or state taxes. It pays$100 a month to veteranswho served in Iraq or Af-ghanistan, up to a maxi-mum of $1,000. For veter-

Junior lineman ClaytonMcCune looks intenseduring Glen Este’s playoffmatchup with La Salle Nov.7.

UNIONTWP.—With their fifthstate football tournament ap-pearance and first since 2006,the purple pride is back at GlenEste High School.

By a series of unpredictableevents, the Trojans made the2014 postseason despite start-ing the season off 1-3. After aSept. 18 loss at Loveland, wonfour straight and finished 5-1over the final six games. With-out a late Kings touchdown onOct. 24, it might have been sixstraight.

Then, when all LovelandneededtodowasbeatMilfordtomake it in, the Eagles pulled the20-17 upset to hand theNo. 8 Di-vision II playoff seed to theTro-jans.

In the tournament gameagainst the top seed La Salle,Glen Este got down 21-0 in thefirstquarterandcouldn’t recov-er, losing 48-28.

“Ifyoulookbackat thegame,there’s a ton to be proud of,”Ayers said. “Our kids played sohardeven thoughwestartedoutpoorly.Theyall foughtback.Wepulled within 14 and were driv-ing on them.”

The taste of a game in No-vember has Glen Este hungryfor more.

“I justcan’twait for thisdeadperiod to be overwith sowe canget into the weight room,”Ayers said.

Already, Ayers has postednext year’s schedule on Twitter.When the season comes around,he’ll have his starting quarter-back, starting runningback, topreceiver and team sack leaderback for their senior seasons.

“There’s somuchpotential tobe a great football team, it’s ri-diculous,” Ayers said. “Now, it’son thecoaches. Ifwecoachwell,

we’ll be very successful. If not,we underachieved with a groupof kids that deserve better. I’mgoing to be more ready andmore prepared than any job Icould ever imagine.”

Though known for theirWing-T running game, GlenEste utilizes the air as well withquarterback Tyler Pilcherthrowing for over 1,600 yardsthe past two seasons. His toptarget returns in Jacob Hamil-ton, a deep threat who out-gained Loveland’s GiovanniRicci slightly in receivingyards,

Pilcher is nearly 6-foot-2 andhas 220 pounds on his framethat Ayers would like to redis-tribute. He’s thrown 35 touch-down passes the last three sea-sons, with 34 of those comingduring his sophomore and ju-nior years.

“He won first team all-league,” Ayers said. “He’s agunslinger. He’s is so gifted. Iwish two-a-days were tomor-row.”

Five lineman are back tomake the holes, along with 6-foot-4,315-poundSethCrissman

MTORAB—Prior to lastFriday’splayoffgame, theClinton-Massie cheer-leaders unfurled a paperbanner that read “Thislooks familiar. BeatMcNick x2.”

No. 2-ranked ClintonMassie did just that out-gaining theRockets 344 to223, with 307 yards com-ing in the ground game enroute to a 28-14 victory.The Falcons’ hopes of de-fending back-to-backstate titles stayed alivewith the victory. But, itcertainly didn’t appear tobe theoffensiveshowcasethe team has become ac-customed to as McNicktied thegameinthefourthquarter after trailing 14-0at halftime.

“Our kids were up tothe task,” McNicholashead coach Mike Orlandosaid. “A possession hereor there and itmight havebeen a different out-come.”

The Rockets scoredtheir first touchdown ofthe game on their firstdrive after halftime. TheLuke Sulken six-yardrushing touchdown wasset up by a third-downcompletion and a 36-yard

run by running back SeanByrne which gave theRockets first and goal.

That first score gaveMcNick somemomentumand the defense fed off itby stacking up opposingquarterback Hunter Fen-

tress, giving Clinton-Mas-sie third-and- long on theFalcons’ next offensivepossession.

After a facemask pen-alty on the third-downplay gave the Falcons afresh set of downs, Clin-

ton- Massie marched itsway into McNicholas ter-ritory before beingstopped on fourth down.

Glen Este Trojans take their talents to college

SCOTT SPRINGER/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Glen Este announced their fall signings Nov. 11. From left are Brooke Parker (Bowling Green softball), Peyton Burdick andEvan Moores (Wright State baseball) and Jessica Dmochowski (Northern Kentucky softball). Parker has been first teamall-league three straight years; Burdick’s been first team the past two years; Moores was second team last season andDmochowski has been second team the past two seasons.

On Oct. 11-12, the BSCEagles took to the pitch asa team and played as ateam throughout theweekend to come homewith a second-place finishin the girls U14 age groupof the 2014 Cincy Chal-lenge. Defense and goal-keeping were up to thetask throughout theweek-end, allowing only threegoals.

Preliminary roundplay saw the girlsmatched up with teamsfrom across the state. Go-ing back to the spring sea-son, the lady Eagles havebrought home hardwarein three of their last fourtournaments.

Opening the weekendagainst the AmbassadorsSCfromCleveland(averystrong division one andundefeated team in theirleague), the lady Eaglesstarted sluggish and al-lowed their opponent tocapitalize for an early 1-0lead. The deficit wouldnot stand long, with theEagles netting the equal-izer a short time later.Just before the half, thevisitors from the northwould find thenetagain totake a 2-1 lead to thebreak. After a quick peptalk, it was back to actionin the second half. Tenminutes in, the Eaglesfound the back of the netand tied the match. Formostof thehalf, the teams

went back and forth withneither finding muchbreathingroom,untilwith10minutes to play, the Ea-glesplayedanice throughball to a cutting midfield-er and with one touch tospace, the shotwasplacedjust over the keeper andunder the crossbar for a3-2 lead. From there, de-fense and goalkeepingwould take over and closeout the match. The Am-bassadors would be theonly team to score againstthem in pool play, as thegirls would shut out theirother two opponents andhead to the finals unbeat-en.

In the finals, the ladyEagles would meet upwith Impact FC (DI fromMiddletown). Both teamsentered the match un-beaten and had shownboth had strong defensiveplay in previous games.This match was no excep-tion and they went to thehalf tied 0-0. Just into thesecondhalf, Impactwouldcapitalize on amiscue andtake a 1-0 lead. The Ea-gles, with several oppor-tunities of their own, justcould not find the back ofthe net. The final wouldend in a 1-0 defeat for thegirls.

The tournament of-fered tough competitionwith three of the four op-ponents are first divisionteams in their leagues.

“I am proud of ourteam and the fact that wecould have folded up andsaid ‘it’s not our night,’”Orlando said. “But, wedidn’t go quietly and I amsure their kids were justas sore as sore as ourkids.”

Massie then respondedwith a defensive stopsandwiched between twotouchdowns to preservethe victory.

Since the signing into law ofthe Patient Protection andAffordable Care Act (ACA), it

seems reason-able to believethere is anexcellentchance toachieve im-provement inthe overallhealth of thecommunity.

As morepeople canaccess pri-mary care andneeded medi-

cations, blood pressure levelswill be monitored, sugar willbe better controlled and can-cers should be detected earlier,

when hope of a cure is great-est. All of the many compo-nents described in the ACA,coupled with the full imple-mentation of that process, overthe long term, will achievepositive population health...orwill it?

It is my opinion; it willachieve positive populationhealth, but it will requirechanges on how we live ourlives today. Changes are need-ed in education, nutritionalhabits and personal responsi-bility. Let’s take a look at each:

» Education: Having a job tobe able to provide for yourselfand your family can preventthe chronic health issues thatdevelops when not having one.Change the curriculum in

grade and high schools to allowstudents to acquire tools towork in the skilled trades:welders, pipefitters, electri-cians, carpenters, drywallers,machinists, cooks/chefs, ma-sonry, etc...College is not foreveryone; however, some edu-cation is needed to succeed inlife. There are young peoplethroughout America who havefour-year degrees, thousandsof dollars in debt, and areworking at fast food restau-rants or working part-time inretail. Having a trade skillwould allow for those wantingto go to college to work theirway through college and forothers make a very comfort-able living if they choose topursue a vocation.

»Nutrition: You are whatyou eat and most people aredigging their graves with theirforks. Why? Some will blamethe fact there are no grocery/supermarkets in the urbancore areas of a community.Some will add “we have toomany fast food stores and notenough fresh vegetables avail-able in our communities.” Bothare true, but one major prob-lem in both scenarios is thelack of ability to prepare ahealthy dish at home…knowinghow to cook and prepare foodis essential to healthy eatingand promotes healthy lifestyles.

» Personal responsibility: Itis my responsibility to takecare of myself and my health.

It is my responsibility to men-tor and rear my children to-wards personal responsibilityand maintaining personalhealth. It is my responsibilityto take advantage of the manycomponents of the ACA to helpme and my family to achieveoverall good health. Are therechallenges? Of course.

Eliminating health dispar-ities and access is a tough chal-lenge and work continues toimprove in both of these areas.But at the end of the day, Imust take the first step to-wards personal responsibility.

Just my opinion…what’syours?

An issue that has notbeen expressed in theDiekmeyer property re-zoning, is thehistorical sig-nificance of this property.

On July14, 1863 Confed-erate Gen. JohnHuntMor-gan, during his raid ofsouthern Ohio, visited thefarms of the Tudors andHarkers, forging for hors-es and supplies. Thesefarms were on the Diek-meyer property. The fol-lowing day Union Briga-dier Gen. Edward Hobsonand his 2,500 troops in pur-suit of Morgan spent thenight on the property.

Here’s whathappened

The Democrats and leftwing liberal press justdon’t get it, or they do andjust refuse to admit thetruth.

They get destroyed inthe mid term elections andtheyclaimtheresults showthat the American peopleare tied of partisan politicsand the lack of Washing-ton’s ability to get anythingdone.

Well, if that were thecase why didn’t everyonevote for the Democrats sothat they would have ama-jority in the Senate, Houseand Executive Office likethey did in 2008? If thatwere to happen, Washing-tonwouldbeable toget lotsof thingsdone, justnotany-thing good.

However, that is notwhat happened at thepoles.WhatdidhappenwasAmericans voted for theRepublican candidatewhether they were an in-cumbent or not to beat theDemocrats. That showsthat the American peopleare tired of the liberalagenda and big govern-ment.

“The ‘Christmas Creep’used to start on the Fridayafter Thanksgiving akaBlack Friday. That seemedearlyenough.Nowitseemsto start the day after Hal-loween. In one sense itseems a bit absurd, but itdoes allow the shoppers tospread out their shoppingtime and maybe find somebargains and lay-a-ways.With the Internet takingaway many of the tradi-tional ‘brick and mortar’opportunities I can notblame the stores for start-ing early. For those who donot like the early ‘Christ-mas Creep’ they do nothave to shop tillDecember.Go Figure!!!

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

November is Diabetic EyeDisease Month and throughoutthe month there will be aware-ness campaigns highlighting the

risks, preventionmethods andmanagement ofdiabetes anddiabetic eyedisease. Gather-ing this informa-tion can help youto take control ofyour overallhealth, as well asyour eye health.

According tothe Centers forDisease Control

and Prevention, approximately29 million Americans age 20 orolder have diabetes. As obesityrates in the United States in-crease, so do the number ofAmericans who are at risk todevelop diabetes.

The doctors at Cincinnati EyeInstitute see diabetic patients ona daily basis, and we work withthem to prevent and managetheir diabetic eye disease. Any-one with type 1 or type 2 diabe-tes is at risk of developing aform of eye disease, which in-cludes diabetic retinopathy,cataracts and glaucoma. In fact,those with diabetes are 40 per-cent more likely to suffer fromglaucoma, and 60 percent morelikely to develop cataracts than

people without diabetes.At Cincinnati Eye Institute,

we encourage patients to take aproactive role in their eyehealth. The most important thingyou can do to protect your visionis to receive an annual compre-hensive dilated eye exam byyour optometrist. This is theonly way to detect diabetic reti-nopathy, and is key to early de-tection and the prevention ofvision loss.

Why don’t more diabetic pa-tients know the risks of eye dis-ease? Unfortunately, it is un-common to have symptoms inthe early stages of diabetic reti-nopathy in particular. Thismeans that often, patients don’trealize they have a problem untilvision loss occurs and at thatpoint the damage is sometimesirreversible.

If you do notice symptomsincluding blurred vision, float-ers, fluctuating vision, dark orempty areas in your vision, orvision loss, you should call youreye doctor as soon as possible.The earlier diabetic eye diseaseis detected, the better chanceyour vision can be improved orrestored.

The most common form ofdiabetic eye disease is diabeticretinopathy. It affects more than7.7 million Americans ages 20-74, and is a potentially blindingcondition in which the blood

vessels inside the retina becomedamaged from the high bloodsugar levels associated withdiabetes. This can lead to theleaking of fluids into the retina,and the obstruction of bloodflow, both of which may causesevere vision loss.

This is important to note be-cause, as most diabetic patientsare aware, diet, exercise andlifestyle modifications are allextremely important to the man-agement of diabetes. When notmanaged properly, or if undiag-nosed for a prolonged period, thedisease can progress, and canaffect other areas of your health,including the kidneys, the brain,and even the eyes. In fact, diabe-tes is the leading cause of pre-ventable blindness in adults.

In the United States, only 65percent of diagnosed diabeticpatients receive an annual dilat-ed eye exam. If you’re part ofthe 35 percent of patients who donot, I encourage you to call youreye doctor to schedule your eyeexam, and get started on thepath to improving your eyehealth.

Dr. Kevin Corcoran is director of op-tometric services at Cincinnati EyeInstitute and clinical associate profes-sor at Ohio State University College ofOptometry.

Can you put limits on imagina-tion? Here at the Girl Scouts, wedon’t think so. Every day we’re in-spiring girls to look beyond theirbackyard and think of the possibil-ities that lie beyond.

We provide theavenue for them toreach their full po-tential, in a suppor-tive, hands-on envi-ronment where theychoose the activitiesthey pursue andlead the way. Weembrace individual-ity and diversity.Each girl has a roleto fulfill and say inwhat they do andhow they do it. This

unique approach is what sets GirlScouts apart.

Girl Scouts is more than just anorganization, it’s a movement. Girls

gain access to experiences andopportunities through GirlScouts that they may not haveon their own. We empowerthem to use their own perspec-tive and creativity to decidehow they want to make animpact upon the community inwhich we live. I’ve seen girlswho have traveled to China andNassau, learned fencing andballet, and much more thanthey (or we) ever imagined. Webuild girls of courage, confi-dence, and character whomake the world a better place.I’m proud to be a part of that.

Research shows that morethan 90 percent of Girl Scoutparents thought their daughterwas more confident, mademore friends, and got bettergrades because of their in-volvement in Girl Scouts.Wouldn’t you want the same

thing for your daughter?We provide new and excit-

ing experiences to nearly45,000 girls in 32 counties be-cause of the dedication andhard work of our volunteers.We want to reach more girlsthan ever before, but in orderto do that, we need more volun-teers. You don’t have to be amom, parent, or even a womanto volunteer. You simply needpassion to help create a bettertomorrow for girls in our com-munity. We want them to knowthat they can be absolutelyanything they want to be. Let’smake that happen.

To join or volunteer, pleasevisit girlscouts.org/join. To-gether, we can make the worlda better place.

Asmost of you know,cloning recipes is a hob-by of sorts of mine. Welltoday I’m sharing 2 re-quested recipes which

happen tobe crazypopularright now,and thebonus isthat theyare easyenough foryou tomake, too.

CloningStarbucks’

pumpkin spice lattestarted with a requestfrom colleague AnnieMitchell Egan of SacredHeart Radio. Annie lovesthe lattes at Starbucksand wanted to try herhand at cloning it. Shefound a recipe and sent itto me. I fiddled with itand came up with what Ithink is a very gooddrink. Not as rich asStarbucks, but prettydarned close. This wouldbe a nice offering toThanksgiving Day guestsas a welcoming beverageas they enter your homeor as a finale to the holi-day meal.

I’m also glad to helpout Amy L., who was“surprised and happy”that I had her favoriteFirst Watch restaurant’srecipe for their amazingpoppy seed dressing.

DIY pumpkin spicelatte like Starbucks

I believe Starbucks isusing a pumpkin typesauce or syrup to flavortheir latte and fromwhatI can determine, theydon’t use half & half likethis recipe does. Thesuccess of this drinkdepends upon the espres-so. Don’t use regularcoffee no matter howstrong.

3-4 tablespoons pump-kin puree

3/4-1 teaspoon pump-kin pie spice + extra forgarnish

Bit of freshly groundblack pepper - optionalbut good

2 tablespoons sugar ormore to taste - next timeI think I'll try half white& half brown sugar

1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla1-1/2 - 2 cups half &

halfUp to 1 cup very

strong espresso or more,depending upon yourtaste - start with 1/4 cupand go from there

Whipped creamI just put everything

but espresso, extra spice& whipped cream in a

pan, brought it to a sim-mer and started whisk-ing. You could also use ahand blender, hand mixeror regular blender. It willget frothy, but the frothdies down fairly quickly.I added espresso to tasteand whisked again, thenpoured it into mugs andtopped it with whippedcream and more pump-kin pie spice.

Poppy seed dressingMy version of First

Watch’s poppy seeddressing For Amy L.,who enjoyed eating thisat the restaurant andwants to entertain holi-day guests at home withit.

Dressing for vegeta-ble salad: Go to taste oningredients here. You canalways add more.

Toss everything intoblender and blend untilsmooth:

1/4 cup fresh lemonjuice

1/3 cup cider vinegar)1-1/2 teaspoons dry

mustard1 tablespoon poppy

seed or more to tasteSalt to taste3/4 to 1 cup sugar1/4 cup minced onion

or to taste1-1/4 to 1-1/2 cups Cano-

la oilFruit salad dressing:

After you whisk in Cano-la oil, whisk in 1/2 cupsour cream. This makes acreamy dressing forfruit. Can you use plainyogurt? Yes, but thedressing won’t be quiteas creamy.

Vegetable salad: Mixtogether 2 cups eachdiced celery and zucchi-ni. Stir in 2-3 cups dicedtomatoes. (I like to add ahandful of shreddedcarrots). Mix with smallamount of dressing andserve on bed of greens.Or marinate the vegeta-bles ahead of time, ex-cept for the tomatoes.Stir those in last.

Fruit salad: Lay favor-ite bite-size pieces offruit on a bed of greens.Drizzle dressing over.

Readers want toknow how tomake:

lady and likes my whis-tling. All the folks thatwork there are extragreat.

I took Ruth Ann to thelittle clinic at Kroger theother day. She had atouch of bronchitis. Nowshe is feeling better. Wethank the Lord for that.

She started the pillsfor the cancer. She takesfour pills each morningat 7 a.m. She is doingpretty good. Wemet withthe nurse on how to takethe pills. The chemo shehad been taking was notdoing any good. We hopeand pray these pills willdo the job.

We go back to see thedoctor the first of De-cember. We are prayingthe same as a lot of otherfolks.

We stopped at theOriginal Pancake Houseon the corner of EightMile Road and Ohio 125to eat breakfast. We likethe crepes so that is whatwe had, by golly they aregood.

Last week we put inthe storm windows, itmade a difference. As Iwrite this, part of thecountry is getting plentyof snow.

Howdyfolks,

I hopeyou allwent andvoted.Ruth Annand Iworked

the polls at the communi-ty building in Bethel. Itwas a good day. At ourtable we had 202 thatvoted. That was verygood.

There were a lot offolks that went to thewrong place to vote. It

would be so good if theyput all of Bethel and TateTownship in the samebuilding. But we had agood time visiting withdifferent folks. There is ayoung lady that hasadopted us as grandpar-ents. She is a very lovely

Last week we peeledand cut winesap apples toput in the freezer for thiswinter. Ruth Ann likesthem to make pies. I cutthe four heads of cab-bage last week and RuthAnnmade cooked cab-bage, smoked sausage,corn and apple salad.What a meal. Hope youfolks can have somecooked cabbage.

Monday we cannedpears. Jeff brought someto the card party. I likepears but Ruth Anndoesn’t really care forthem, but will eat a fewpieces.

I finally got to go fish-ing on East Fork with afriend who is alwayscatching lots of crappieand winning the crappietournaments. He took mefishing on Tuesday morn-ing, we did good. We hadabout 30 crappie, that is abunch of work. We willhave some good eatingthis winter and I thankRodney for this fishingtrip.

There were severalboats on the lake in spiteof the wind blowing hard.It is amazing the amountof fish East Fork produc-es, they are so good.

When we went out fromthe dock, there was acommon loon swimmingaround. They are such abeautiful duck and havea mournful call.

Chester stayed in thehouse with Ruth Annwhen I started cleaningfish. I said “Chester areyou going to be withme?” He just turned hisback and lay under thetruck.

With Ruth Ann havingthese problems, it meansI will take the work shewas doing. OnMondayshe marked the washerand dryer where theyneed to be put.

Our washer and dryerare in the basement. So Idid the wash and driedeverything. Ruth Annclimbing the steps was ano-no. After getting thewash done, I cleaned acouple of the raised beds.When all the clothesdried, I went to the car-penter shop and builtthree bird feeders. I willtake them and a thistlefeeder to Cincinnati Na-ture Center. People likethe bird feeders, birdhouses, thistle feeder andother items folks makeand take to the naturecenter.

We hope everyone hasa Happy Thanksgivingand all your children andother folks are with you.May the Good Lord bewith you.

We hope you startyour week by going tothe house of worship ofyour choice and praisethe good Lord. God BlessAll. More later.

» Ralph DiFulvio setout to provide food forthose in need not just onThanksgiving or Christ-mas, but throughout theholiday season.

DiFulvio was inspiredby his priest at St. Rosechurch in 2008 to donateholiday turkeys to theWalnut Hills and Over-the-Rhine soup kitchens.He bought four turkeysthat year, launching whathe called theHoliday Tur-key Initiative.

DiFulvio continued hisefforts each year sincethen, increasing his annu-al turkey donations withthe help and donations offriends, the Cincinnatichapter of the Sons of Ita-ly, where he is a member,the Dwelling PlaceChurch in Loveland andKroger.

This year, he hopes todistribute150 turkeys andcollect $3,700.

For more informationon theHolidayTurkey Ini-tiative, call DiFulvio at513-231-2255 or email himat rdifulvio@ aol.com.
