Old site to see newtimes in Blue Ash

After many mostly vacantyears, the walls have recentlytumbled down in the downtownBlue Ash district at the formerThriftway store location.

The more than 43,000-square-footbuildingwasbuilt in1985 and housed a Thriftway

store of the grocery chainowned by Florida-based Winn-Dixie Stores Inc., which exitedthe Cincinnati market nearly adecadeago. In the interim, it hasbeenusedfora temporaryhomefor a nearby remodeled Krogerstore, a non-profit and a restau-rant supply location.

The lot isbeingdevelopedforluxury rental apartment homes

byBlueAsh-basedHills Proper-ties.

Named “49 Hundred” due toitsaddress, theapartmentbuild-ing will be made of 216 units,from one-bedroom apartmentsto two-bedroom apartmentswith a study, according toMariaLashells, director of marketingand training for Hills.

The building, expected to be

finished in fall of 2014,will offeramenities such as a rooftop fit-ness center, luxury pool and astorefrontcybercafé inwalkingdistance of Blue Ash downtownbusinesses.

During the zoning approvalprocess, “49 Hundred” did have

some negative feedback fromsome residents, but was ulti-mately approved because it fitswithin the mixed-use area cityplan, according to assistant CityManager Kelly Harrington.

Hills is hopeful to host agroundbreaking ceremony.

Although there were a levyrenewal and a trustees’ race onthe ballot in Symmes Township,voters were concerned about

the fate of the li-brary and zoolevies.

By midday, 91out of about 450registeredvotershad stopped in tothe polls at theSymmes Town-ship Branch ofthe Hamilton

County Public Library, 11850Enyart Road. Poll workers saidthat turnout was at about what

they thought itwould, and thatmany regularvoters were al-ready in to casttheir ballots.

ElizabethSchmidt said shecame out to votebecause primari-ly for the library

and zoo levies, adding that shefelt residents “can’t let the li-brary and zoo down.”

Sally Rich-ards echoed thatsentiment, say-ing those issueswere importantto her.

“People needthese assets intheir communi-ty,” she said.

However, shesaid she wasn’t out to vote forany specific candidates, addingthat she’d read their names and

campaigns, but felt it was hardto get to know them.

By the end of the day, only2,562 ballots out of 10,582 regis-tered voters were cast acrossthe township, which is about 24percent of the votingpopulationin Symmes Township. Currenttownship trustees Ken Bryantand Jodie Leis got 1,729 and1,709 votes, respectively, de-feating challenger Eric Mina-myer,whogot738votes,accord-ing to the unofficial resultsfrom the Hamilton CountyBoard of Elections.

Fiscal Officer Carol Sims

also defeated her challenger,Vince Wallace, with 1,469 votesto his 853, according to the re-sults.

The township’s 0.9-mill roadlevy renewal was approved byabout 80 percent. The county li-brary and zoo levies also passedby about 80 percent each aswell.

Results are unofficial untilthe board of elections certifiesthe election later this month.

Ursuline Academy wel-comed more than 50 alumnaeSept. 27 for the biennial Ursu-line Symposium.

Alumnae spoke to studentsabout their work and other op-portunitieswithin their profes-sional fields. Specifically,alumnae spoke to the studentsabout direct and indirect pathsto different careers.

“Today is an opportunity forthe young women of Ursuline

to think about career opportu-nities, while at the same time,recognize thatcareerpathscanchange,” Kerri Kagler Schu-man ’86, director of alumnaerelations, said. “Many of ourgraduates are leaders in theirfields, but their careers maynot be what they envisioned inhigh school. It is such an assetto our current students thatthey have the opportunity tolearn from and speak with

womenwhoaresuccessful, andit’s important that they knowthat change is part of any ca-reer path.”

The day began with a morn-ing assembly where the stu-dents heard from keynotespeaker Tamara Kearney La-nier ’95, of Pleasant Ridge. La-nier serves as a senior man-ager of market access at John-son and Johnson’s Ethicon En-do-Surgery, and is also

Ursuline’s 2013 Woman of theYear.

Following Lanier’s presen-tation, students attended threesessionsbasedon their areasofinterest. Alumnae from a va-

riety of fields offered sessionsincluding, law, banking, medi-cine, journalism, informationtechnology, fashion and mar-keting.

“Ifwe’re doing our job rightno one will even know we’rethere,” he said.

However, as a result manypeople are not aware of whatgoes on behind the scenes.“When you’re hiding your jobto the world a lot of peopledon’t know what goes into it,”he said.

Himsworth hopes to changethat by organizing a more ac-tive technical crew and addingan educational component to

fascination for the technicalside having at one point been aperformer on stage.

Recently, he lived in Wis-consin where he worked withtheAmericanPlayersTheatre.

As auditorium manager,Himsworth, who is a residentof Dayton, will handle mainte-nance of the auditorium in-cluding lighting, rigging andsound as well as any improve-ments that are made.

The position had existedpreviously, but on a part-timebasis. It is now a full-time posi-tion.

“This presents an opportu-nity to reach beyond theboundaries of theater,” he said.

The Loveland-SymmesFire Department has re-ceived accredited agencystatus with the Commis-sion on Fire AccreditationInternational.

The accreditationmeans LSFD has met thecriteria established byCFAI to deliver the high-estqualityofservicetothecommunities it serves. Af-ter nearly two years ofself-assessment and eval-uation by other agenciesand firefighting peers,LSFD achieved full ac-credited status for fireservices with CFAI andtheCenter forPublicSafe-ty Excellence. Already ac-credited for EMS, thisgives LSFDa rare dual ac-creditation.

“It’s a really big thing,”Chief Otto Huber said.“Only 17 departments inthe world have dual ac-creditation. It is excep-tional that ‘small-town’Loveland, Ohio, is able toachieve this accredita-tion.”

There is a strategicplan; a rhyme and reasonfor everything the fire de-partment does. The proc-ess of becoming accredit-ed requires the depart-ment to look at every as-pect of the organization. Itis not just the service theyprovide on the street, buthow the department is or-ganized, funded, how theywork with outside agen-cies, and those relation-ships. Theydon’t just sendsomebody out on a firetruck hoping the job getsdone.

“We exist becausethere is a risk; there’s arisk in this community,”Huber said.

In some communitiesthe risk is higher, somelower, but in Lovelandthere is a high risk, at anygiven moment, that EMSservices will be required.The risk of fire is lower.That information comesfrom risk analysis basedupon what has happenedin thepast, the communitydemographics, and therisk profile for Lovelandand Symmes Township.

Why is that importantto the residents of thecommunity? Understand-ing the risk determinesthe level of service neces-sary. Here, that meansknowing there is a muchhigher level of EMS need-

ed than fire response. Bil-ly Goldfeder, LSFD depu-ty safety chief, says it is acommitment tobeing“tru-ly good stewards of thetaxpayer dollar.”

“We know, because ourservices are heavily EMSdriven, we need to be verygoodat that becausewedothat,”Hubersaid.“Wealsoneed to be much bettertraining and preparing for

what we do less frequent-ly. We have to make surewe are training for thelow-frequency, high risktypeevents. Firesarehighrisk for us.”

The accrediting proc-ess brings their entireplan under intense scruti-ny to assure they providequality service, continu-ously improve, and ulti-mately enhance the deliv-

eryoffiredepartmentser-vice to the community. Af-ter completing an internalself-assessment of perfor-mance and service deliv-ery, LSFD worked withpeers from other agenciesto evaluate that assess-ment. The final step was athoroughly scrutinizingfour-day review on-site.

“They lookat everysin-gle thing we do,” Hubersaid, emphasizing howthorough the process ofbecoming accredited is.It’s more than those fourdays under a microscope,it’s thorough review of therecords fourmonths in ad-vance; talking to neigh-bors, the city manager,looking at the statisticaldata.“Youhavetohavethedata thatprovesyou’redo-

ing what you say you’redoing.”

The review and scruti-ny comes from a group offirefighting peers, citymanagers, andprofession-als from across the coun-try. They do not know inadvancewho itwill be, norcan they be previously ac-quainted. For LSFD, theon-site review group in-cluded the fire chief fromWinter Park, Florida, afire marshal from Ana-heim, California, fire cap-tain from Surprise, Arizo-na, and a firefighter fromOregon.

After all the reviewswere complete, LSFDwent before the commis-sion to respond to ques-tions on every part of thedepartment strategic plan

to serve the community. Italladdsuptothefact thereis a risk profile for yourarea, your subdivision, foryour house. There is astandard of cover planwhich statistically proves90 percent of the time theLSFD can provide the re-sources for an effectiveresponse to your home tosaveyourpropertyorsaveyour life.

“We live that everyday,” Goldfeder said.“We’re fiercely proud ofwhat we do here. Youwon’t find a firefighterhere wasting tax dollars.We are very conscientiousabout how we talk to peo-ple; howwe treat people.”

PRESS PREPS HIGHLIGHTS

By Scott SpringerandMark [email protected]@communitypress.com

SYMMESTWP.—Thisonegoesto 11.

The one in this instance be-ing the Cincinnati Hills Chris-tian Academy football team.The Eagles went one higherthan their 10-0 regular seasonwitha19-0shutoutofMadeira inthe opening round of the Divi-sion V playoffs Nov. 9.

Nick Marsh scored on a 20-yard touchdown with 56 sec-onds left in the first half to giveCHCA a 7-0 edge at the break

As it happened, those wereall the points CHCAwould needagainst an injury-riddled Mus-tangs club, not that head coachEric Taylor relaxed.

“At 7-0 I was very uncom-fortable,” he said. “Even 13-0was still uncomfortable.They’ve come back on somevery good football teams thisyear.”

Quarterback Conner Os-borne feltmuch better after thefirst score. Despite starting thegamewith eight consecutive in-complete passes, hewarmed upenough to engineer the firstscoring drive and then cut loosein the fourth quarter.

Osborne hit Dave Bechtoldfor a 44-yard score to give theEagles some breathing room at13-0. Kyle Davis added a five-yard touchdown run after aMa-deira fumble for the final mar-gin.

“Our offense knew we need-ed one good drive to put a scorein the end zone,” Osborne said.

“Our defense played lights outall night. It was great.”

And not surprising, CHCAhad four shutouts in the regularseason.

Madeira coach Mike Shaferwouldn’t use the absence of hisstarting quarterback and run-ning back as a crutch, pardonthe pun.

“Injuries happen and thenext guy’s got to step up,” hesaid. “That’s one thing we didreally well this year. Whensomebody went down, the nextguy came in and played well.That shows a good team andthat’s what happens in sports.

“It was a defensive-dominat-edgame.Weknewthatandtriedto control the field position andthe clock. We were on the shortside of the field a lot. Unfortu-nately, we had a turnover in thesecondhalf and theycapitalizedon it.”

CHCA advanced to the sec-ond round againstHamiltonBa-din Nov. 16. The Rams dis-patched Mariemont 37-13 intheir playoff opener and comeinto the regional semifinalswith a 9-2 record.

MoellerIn a game that could have

filled some stadiums beyondthecapacityofLocklandMemo-rial’s 6,000, Moeller started its2013 run in the Division I play-offswitha42-17routofSt.Xavi-er.

After taking a14-0 lead in thefirst quarter, the Bombers gotwithin a touchdown at 21-14 atthe half. However, the secondhalf belonged toMoeller as theyoutscored St. Xavier 21-3 to winby 25.

Senior Gus Ragland wasMoeller’s top rusher with 157yards and three touchdowns.

Nearly half of thoseyards cameon a 72-yard fourth-quarterscamper. He also was 10-13passing for 264 yards and twotouchdowns to senior IsaiahGentry.

Ragland missed Moeller’sfirstwinoverSt.XavierbackonSept. 27 with an injury.

Gentryhad229yards receiv-ing on five grabs with touch-downsof 55 and81yards.Moell-er’s other touchdown was aDeanMeyer two-yardrun in thefourth quarter.

Also contributing in the vic-torywas SterlingNoes,who ranfor 135 yards with a long run of75.

Defensively, Ohio State-boundSamHubbardhad two in-terceptions and Will Mercurioadded another pick.

TheCrusaders outgained theBombers 631-302. St. Xavier’sseason ends at 5-6.

Moeller is now10-1with theirlone loss coming at LakewoodSt. Edward on Oct. 26. Next uponNov.16 is theElderPanthers.Elder defeated Northmont 16-7to advance.

Moeller won the regular sea-son feature at The Pit 35-14 onOct. 11.

Cincinnati Country DayThe regular season was per-

fect. The second season, not somuch.

Cincinnati Country Day fell55-28 at home Nov. 8 againstSummitCountryDayinthefirstround of the Division VI play-offs.

The Silver Knights avengeda 35-27 CCD win week eight byhanding the Indians their first

and only loss of the season.“We definitely wanted to see

them again,” said Summit headcoach Mike Brown. “Any timeyouplayyour rival andyouonlylose by eight, you want anothershot at them.

“The good part is we got toget them again. But they’re aleaguerival inyourdivisionandyou want your conference to dowell, so from that perspectiveit’s tough. They’re definitely avery good team.”

CCDhad no answer for Sum-mit senior quarterback AntonioWoods, who threw for fourtouchdowns and ran for threemore.

“Our offense came out firingon all cylinders,” Brown said.“In our first seven possessionswe scored six touchdowns. Atthe end of the half we scoredtwotouchdowns in the last threeminutes and that proved to bevery important for us. No leadwas safe against them. They’rea very good team.

“(Woods) is electrifying. Hemade all the throws and whenthey weren’t there, he didn’tmakeanybaddecisionsandthatwas just as big. When he runs,he takeswhat should be a three-yard gain and turns it into a 50-yard touchdown. He’s just anexceptional athlete.”

CCDfinished the season10-1,sharing the Miami Valley Con-ference title with CincinnatiHills Christian Academy.

TheSilverKnights improvedto9-2with thewinandadvancedto faceWestLiberty-SalemNov.15. The Tigers beat Williams-burg27-20 in theirplayoff open-er.

SYCAMORE TWP. — TheSycamore High Schoolfootball team had a varie-ty of ways of scoring thisfall.

One of those wore No.99 at 5-foot-2 and 123pounds. The name wasRachel Cogen; sister ofSycamore’s kicker theprevious two seasons,Sam Cogen.

Wielding a reasonablyaccurate right foot, Ra-chel Cogen connected on30 of 35 extra points thisseason and made one ofthree field goal attempts.Her 33 total points werefourth on the team.

The “Cogen Connec-tion” for Sycamore beganin 2010.

“I was in the seventhgrade and my brotherwanted to go kick,” Cogensaid. “Hewasgoing tobeajunior. I just went withhim and I started kick-ing.”

After kicking for thejunior high team, Cogeneventually kicked forboth the freshman and ju-nior varsity. She joinedthe varsity fray in July.

“It was pretty tough,”Cogen said. “We had fourother guys trying out forthe position; mostly soc-cer players.”

Her tenacity and con-sistency won out and theSycamore sophomorekicked in all but one of theAves games. Shemade allsix of her extra pointsagainst Hamilton Oct. 4and all five in the at Ma-son Nov. 1.

Her one field goal wasfrom 24 yards out againstGreater Miami Confer-ence nemesis Colerain.

“It was great; it wasawesome,” Cogen said. “Ithink I knew once it wasoffmy foot it was going togo in. I have a pretty goodidea once I kick it whereit’s going to go.”

Cogen began propel-ling objects skywardwitha cleat in kindergarten asa soccer player. She still

has been used on a limitedbasis on kickoffs but saysshe can kick it to the 10.

In terms of field goals,the “trey” against Cole-rain was her first. If ev-eryone is in synch, shethinks she could connectfrom further distances.

“Withtheholdandsnapinwarm-ups, I’vekickeda40-yardfieldgoalbefore,”Cogen said.

Of course, there is thatmatter of several snarl-ing, hairy guys running ather. Cogen says she wasfortunate to have goodblockers by her side.Overall, she says themales were as polite asmales might be on a grid-iron.

“Sometimes afterwardwhen we’re walkingthrough the line thoughthey’ll say, ‘Ohmy gosh, agirl!’” Cogen said. “I don’tknow how they don’t no-tice during a game.”

Rachel Cogen is notsure shewouldwant to tryand kick beyond highschool, but she will ac-companyher father, Rich,back to Sycamore soonfor some practice boots.

“I just am going intothe offseason thinkingthat a bunch of people aregoing to try out and pushme really hard,” Cogensaid.

When not kicking theoblong ball, she’ll playsoccer with CincinnatiSoccer Alliance.

Most of her winter andspring is spent anony-mously. It’s not until herhair sneaks out of her hel-met again that peoplestart pointing her out.

“People think it’s reallycool, I guess,” Cogen said.

FAIRBORN — MountNotre Dame HighSchool’s 11th trip to thestate volleyball tourna-ment resulted in theirseventh state title as theCougars beat previouslyunbeaten Toledo St. Ur-sula in four sets Nov. 9 atWright State’s NutterCenter.

MND trailed in eachset, but prevailed 25-27,25-23, 25-19, 26-24. The2013 trophywill now jointhe Cougar hardwarefrom 1995, 1998, 1999,2000, 2006 and 2011.

HeadcoachJoeBurkealso defeated theArrowsin the Nutter Center fi-nale two years ago.

“Winning state is afeeling you’ll never for-get,” Burke said. “Thesegirls have been talkingabout it, really, since thebeginning of the season.That’s what we wantedourgoal tobe.Wewantedto be practicing the finalday and we wanted towalk out as a state cham-pion.”

Though Ursuline andRocky River Magnificatwere the only two sharedopponents the teamshad,Burke and his girls weresomewhat familiar withToledo St. Ursula fromthe 2011state game and apreseason exhibition.

The Cougars hadscrimmaged the Arrowsearly in the year and itwasclose.Burke thoughthis squad was dead evenwith them. Considering

theybothwoundupintheDivision I final, it wasquite visionary.

MND’s girlswere alsosomewhat visionary set-ting lofty goals at the be-ginning of the year. De-spite winning the statechampionship in 2011,many would not have as-sumed another finale inWright State this year.

“We obviously lost alot from last year, but weknew we had a lot of tal-ent,” Burke said. “Weknew we were going tobe able to continue to getbetter every day. Wehave a great mix of sen-iors and sophomores andthey improvedevery sin-gle day.Wedidn’twant tojust get back here, wewanted to be playing onSaturday.”

To get to the final,MND beat Hudson 25-10,25-16,18-25, 25-13 onNov.7. The four set triumphover Toledo St. Ursulawas the Cougars’ 12thconsecutive win since aSept. 26 loss to Ursuline.

Right-side senior hit-ter Christine Chandlerled the charge for theCougarswith 24 kills and22 digs. Sophomores Da-ni Szczepanski and Syd-ney Mukes had 14 and 12kills, respectively. Ju-nior libero Margo Wolfhad 28 digs and juniorsetter Jessica Towle had58 assists.

“The defense kepttelling me, ‘We’ve gotyour back. Just swingaway,’” Chandler said.“That was really helpfuland let me have confi-dence every time I wentup to swing.”

The Cougars fan sup-port was tremendous asexpected. From paintedvehicles to signs alongthewayon I-75 and I-675,Mount Notre Dame’s 534girls and their fansstepped up their game.After having an estimat-ed 2,000 at their regionalchampionship matchwith Ursuline, Burkewasn’t sure if thepowderblue pupils could domuch more.

“Our fans are awe-some,” Burke said. “Atthe pep rally I askedthemtodo it again anddoit louder.Boy, did theydothat! They came out innumbers and were fun.”

A publication of

Cancer support resources availableAnother breast cancer

awareness month is behind us.It is amazing the strides thathave been made in the earlydetection and treatment of thedisease. But did you know thatthe excellent medical re-sources available for thetreatment of cancer are onlyhalf the story?

In October 2007, the In-stitute of Medicine of theNational Academies of Sci-ence published a report “Can-cer Care for the Whole Pa-tient” which recognized thatthe standard of care for peo-ple with cancer should includeboth excellent medical treat-ment and support for the psy-chological and social support(psychosocial) problems thataccompany a diagnosis of

cancer. Thereport statesthat “attentionto patients’psychosocialhealth needs isthe exceptionrather thanthe rule incancer caretoday.”

Fortunate-ly, in the greater Cincinnatiregion there are two organiza-tions that provide exactly theservices that are called for inthe report – Cancer FamilyCare and Cancer SupportCommunity. As the director ofthe Cancer Support Communi-ty I will talk about CSC ser-vices, but readers shouldknow that both organizations

are well equipped to providepsychosocial support ser-vices.

Our two organizations col-laborate, serve on many of thesame committees, share staffand cross refer to the organi-zation best equipped to meetan individual’s needs.

A diagnosis of cancer canbe physically, financially andemotionally devastating. It isfrequently accompanied bysignificant stress and feelingsof loss of control, connection,and even hope. It not onlyimpacts the person with thedisease, but also their fam-ilies, neighbors and co-work-ers.

Help is available right inour community and all ser-vices are offered at no cost.

Cancer Support Community ispart of a national organizationwhich has a 30-year history ofhelping people reduce stressand improve quality of lifefrom diagnosis, treatment andbeyond to survivorship.

Services are a complementto traditional medical care;not a substitute, which is whyCSC has great working rela-tionships with all area oncol-ogy services and hospitals.Among the free services areprofessionally facilitatedsupport groups, networkinggroups, stress reduction pro-grams (yoga, tai chi, guidedimagery, education programsoften featuring oncologistsfrom local medical institu-tions, nutrition classes, andsocial opportunities where

people affected by cancer canspend time with people simi-larly impacted in a safe andcomfortable environment.

People with cancer andtheir caregivers and can findthe world class, evidencebased emotional support theInstitute of Medicine sug-gests, right here at home.

Programs are offered inBlue Ash, Northern Kentuckyand 10 other locations aroundthe Tristate. All Cancer Sup-port Community programsare offered free of charge.Please call us at 513-791-4060or on line at http://bit.ly/Qj5rsi.

Rick Bryan is executive director ofCancer Support Community in BlueAsh.

Rick BryanCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Nearly 24 years ago, Amer-ican leadership helped bringdown the Berlin Wall withoutfiring a shot. Now, our servicemembers and veterans are upagainst a new wall, a wall ofbureaucracy.

This wall complicates near-ly every facet of life as theytransition from active dutyservice to veteran status. ThisVeterans Day, we must renewour commitment to those whohave served us. Our task be-gins by ensuring that theirmedical records, which docu-ment years or decades of ser-vice, seamlessly follow themfrom uniformed to veteranstatus.

The House of Representa-tives is taking action to pushboth the Departments of De-fense and Veterans Affairs torealize this goal. Our troopsface numerous challengesafter they serve: transitioningto civilian life, finding a careeror continuing their education,to name just a few. Our veter-ans should not have to serve ascouriers between the DoD andVA too. It’s an additional andunnecessary burden.

Our two biggest depart-ments are still not fully capa-ble of digitally communicatingin the 21st century. Early in hispresidency, President Obamacharged these two depart-ments to “build a seamlesssystem of integration with asingle goal: when a member ofthe Armed Forced separatesfrom the military, he or shewill no longer have to walkpaperwork from a DoD duty

station to alocal VAhealth center;their electron-ic records willtransitionalong withthem and re-main withthem forever.”

This visionhas devolvedinto a series of

missed milestones, shiftingpriorities and ballooning bud-gets. The House Veterans’Affairs Committee learnedearlier this year that thesefailures have led PresidentObama and both departmentsto abandon the original goal ofone system, and instead plancontinued reliance on separatesystems integrated together toconnect electronic health rec-ords.

I served as an Army combatsurgeon in Iraq and still serveas a Reservist. I know that myfellow military members,when they retire, should nothave to continue to wage warat home against bureaucraciesand paperwork. And yet, adoctor treating veterans can-not seamlessly access themedical history of their pa-tient because that history ishoused in a separate DefenseDepartment system. VA doc-tors report that initial stepsare improving this digitalsharing, while still on separatesystems.

The House of Representa-tives is working to tackle theseissues through the bipartisan

H.R. 1960. Important sectionscall for basic interoperabilitycapabilities within a year,meaning that doctors on bothsides will be able to readilyviewmedical history files.

By 2016, we are demandingfull system integration be-tween the two departments.These are essential steps to-wards realizing a system thatseamlessly communicatesmedical history files betweenthe departments, without forc-ing the burden on to the shoul-ders of our transitioning veter-ans. Ultimately, I believe onesystem will best serve ourtroops and veterans as theyseek care, and full integrationis steering the departments inthe right direction. Fully in-tegrating these electric healthrecords isn’t just about helpingtransitioning veterans, it’s alsoessential to reducing our vet-erans’ disability backlog.

We know that fully devel-oped disability claims, thosewith complete medical historyfiles, take half the amount oftime to complete compared toclaims filed with incompleteor missing data. It’s discourag-ing for our troops, our veter-ans, and our doctors to face awall of bureaucracy that hin-ders care. They deserve alasting solution that honorstheir legacy and service.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Nov. 6 questionState Sen. Bill Seitz has intro-

duced legislationwhichwould re-define the standards or third par-ties to appear onOhio’s ballot, in-cluding a minimum requirementof 56,000 signatures to get on theballot and receivingat least 3per-cent of the vote in a presidentialelection to stay on the ballot. Doyou support Seitz’s proposal?Why or why not?

“There needs to be someminimumrequirement toget onthe Ohio state ballot. 56,000 sig-natures seem like a rationalnumber to use along with atleast 3 percent of the votemini-mum.Latelywith the failuresofboth theDemocrats andRepub-licans to accomplish anything

expect increasing the debt, Iwelcome a third-party influ-ence. There is always the writein candidate line too. Go figure!

T.D.T.

“Because I am ignorant ofthe current process, if any, forthird parties getting onto theballot, I can’t gauge the value ofthis proposal. If the proposal ismore restrictive – or less re-strictive – then I would like forSen. Seitz to justify his reasonfor the change.”

R.V.

“Yes, IdosupportSen.Seitz’sproposal, especially because itcouldget the teapartyhypocrit-es on the ballot against Demo-crats andRepublicans. This canonlymeanmoreDemocratsget-ting elected to legislative officeas the conservative vote getsbroken into smaller and moremeaningless chunks!”

Thanksgiving will behere before you know itand some of you are al-ready preparing yourgrocery list. Thanks-giving is my favorite

holidaysince it’sjust aboutfood, fam-ily andfriends –no pre-sents re-quired. AsI tell youevery year,it’s notonly about

the food, but who sits inthe chairs. Some advicefrom one who has beenthere, done that: Parsleyand whipping cream aregreat culinary Band-Aids.

During one of myrecent classes, the sub-ject of limoncello for theholidays came up. If youwant to give this as a giftor serve it at Christmas,it’s best to start the proc-ess now.

Double CitrusLimoncello

The great thing aboutthis is it keeps just aboutforever in the freezer.You can use all lemonsfor classic limoncello.This year I made somewith a combo of lemonsand limes. It was differ-ent, and good.

2 pounds lemons, thickskinned

4 limes, thick skinned if youcan find them

4 cups good quality 100proof vodka

3 cups sugar3 cups water

Pour vodka in largegallon glass jar or con-tainer.

Wash fruit very wellusing hot water to re-move wax coating. Patdry. Remove zest with avegetable peeler. Thezest is the colored part. Ifsome of the white partunderneath the skin isvisible, cut it off. That’sthe pith and it’s verybitter (though it is themost nutritious part ofthe peel). If you can’t getit all off, do the best youcan. Place zest in jar withvodka and cover. Let sitat room temperature forat least a week, or up tothree weeks. The vodkawill take on the color andflavor of the citrus as itsteeps.

Bring sugar and waterto a simmer and stir untilsugar dissolves andthickens a bit. Let cooland then add that to vod-ka mixture and stir.

Strain and put in prettybottles. Seal and chill inrefrigerator for a coupleof weeks, at least.

To use, serve straightover ice chips, mix withsparkling wine or miner-al water and a lemoncurl, toss with freshfruit, serve over icecream, frozen yogurt orsimple cake.

Pink ribbons are now almost univer-sally recognized as the symbol of breastcancer awareness and fundraising, butseveral local women are hoping that tealribbons will soon be equally well known.

Teal is the color adopted by ovariancancer advocacy groups, and with thenational Ovarian Cancer AwarenessMonth in September theOvarianCancerAlliance of Greater Cincinnati showedits zeal for teal as they worked to createpublic awareness of symptoms of ovari-an cancer and provide support for wom-en affected by the disease.

The organization sponsored its sev-enth annual Power is Teal 5K Run/Walkfor Ovarian Cancer Awareness at Lun-ken Playfield to help raise funds andraise awareness of the symptoms ofovarian cancer to aid in early detection.

A special invitation was extended toovarian cancer survivors.

Five local ovarian cancer survivorshave ramped up their involvement inOCAGC and are eager to engage moresurvivors in their support network andalso continue the advocacy and aware-nessbuilding tosupport researcheffortsand publicize the symptoms womenshould be aware of.

“Because ovarian cancer has thehighest mortality rate of all gynecologi-cal cancers, there’s sometimes amisper-ception that ovarian cancer survivorsdon’t exist,” Martha Farr of Montgome-ry said, “but we are proof that is not the

case. ”Data shows that if ovarian cancer is

caught before it has spread beyond theovaries, the five-year survival rate is inthe 90 percent range. Because symp-toms are subtle and not well known, it isless likely than some other cancers to befound early.

Symptoms towatch for are persistentbloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, diffi-culty eating or feeling full quickly, andurinary symptoms (urgency or frequen-cy). Links to a symptom diary and asymptom diary app can be found atwww.cincyovariancancer.org/symptoms.html.

When Karen Kruse of Madeira start-ed noticing symptoms, she had no ideathat they were common to ovarian can-cer.

“Most women think constipation,bloating and abdominal pain are only re-lated todigestive issuesanddon’t realizetheycanalsobewarningsignsofovariancancer.”

The volunteers and survivors in-volved with OCAGC are determined toimprove this situation. According to PatWest of Eastgate, their passion for theteal movement is heartfelt.

“We’ve been through the process our-selves and many of our volunteers havelived through it with a friend or familymember. Now we’re very motivated todo all we can to offer hope and help oth-ers in the same situation.”
