savings in health-carecosts,” he said. Meloy’spresentation said the av-erage life-time cost oftreatment for a personwho is HIV-positive ismore than $600,000.

Some residents areconcerned the site select-ed for the pilot, on a com-mercial property justwest of Cincinnati Mineand Machinery at 2950Jonrose Ave., is too closeto Struble Elementary,and there were concernsabout the proposed hours

of operation.Meloy said the hours of

operation can be changed.“That is one reason we

had the meeting,” he said.“To get feedback.” He alsosays the program will beclosely monitored.

Meloy says he plans tobring the project to theColerain Township Boardof Trustees as soon as hehas all of the details fullyworked out.

Colerain TownshipTrustee Michael Inder-hees was at the April 27meeting and says he sup-ports the pilot.

“Doing nothing is notthe answer, and we can’tarrest our way out of this

problem,” he said. “I thinkit’s time to try somethingelse. Our Quick ResponseTeam is making strides,but this hopefully gets topeople before they over-dose. I support it.”

Colerain Township res-ident Michelle Coopersays she learned of themeeting through a flierleft during door-to-doorcanvassing by the town-ship.

“It was good informa-tion, and presented so itwas easily understood,”she said. “I wanted tocome and find out whatthe township was doingand I am glad I did.”

If you skip the footballfield track, you still havethree-quarters of a mile oftrail to enjoy. Part of thetrail meanders through aboardwalk area which iswell-shaded and includesa wetland area that ishome to many wildlifespecies.

Clippard Park, 3514 Be-vis Lane, has a pavedwalking trail that is a half-mile long. A natural trailwinds through the woodsbehind Shelter C addinganother quarter-mile. Thetrail at Heritage Park,11405 East Miami RiverRoad, is a paved, 1.2-mileloop that skirts the perim-eter of the park and in-cludes views of the GreatMiami River.

Colerain Townshipparks require a motor ve-hicle permit. The passesare on sale at the ColerainTownship Parks and Ser-vices Office, 4200 Spring-dale Road; and at the FireHeadquarters Office,4160 Springdale Road,from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mon-day through Friday. An-nual passes are $10 eachand are transferable be-tween vehicles. Daypasses are $5 per day andwill be available, along

with the $10 annualpasses, at the park en-trances in the springthrough fall.

Frank Birkenhauer, as-sistant administrator forColerain Township, sayswith the loss of the publicservice levy in March, thetownship can’t sink mon-ey into walking and bikepaths. The township is fo-cused on connectivity forwalkers by concentratingon sidewalks.

Colerain Township justcompleted a Safe Routesto Schools project onPoole Road that links Col-erain High School and

Colerain middle and ele-mentary schools. The pro-ject’s $375,000 price tagwas picked up by a stategrant, although the town-ship paid $90,000 for thedesign and right-of-wayacquistion. Birkenhauersaid he’s working on asimilar project on JosephRoad in the wake of con-cerns about studentsfrom Colerain HighSchool walking from thehigh school to ColerainAvenue.

The township has asidewalk fund of about$175,000 that collects in-lieu-of payments from de-velopers. The paymentsare permitted when side-walks would not be feasi-ble because of the topog-raphy of a site or becausethere are no sidewalkswith which the develop-ment could connect.

Green TownshipTrustee Chairman Trif-

fon Callos said the town-ship expects to beginbuilding its new hikingand biking trail in aboutone month.

The township bought aportion of the old Chesa-peake and Ohio railroadline in 2014 and is turningthe right of way into apaved path residents can

use for hiking, biking,walking or running.

The 1.5-mile segmentthe township bought runsmostly parallel to Harri-son Avenue, stretchingfrom Hutchinson Road toan area behind OakdaleElementary School nearthe intersection ofBridgetown and Raceroads.

Callos said the trail willbe built in phases over thenext several years and thetownship ultimately plansto extend it to VeteransPark on Harrison Avenue,creating a 3.25-mile to 3.5-mile trail.

The first phase, whichhe said should be finishedby this fall, will run fromOakdale Elementary toLee Court.

“Over the next four orfive years, this is going tobe an extensive project,”he said.

In addition to provid-ing recreational opportu-nities and promotinghealthy lifestyles, he saidthe trail will connect near-by neighborhoods withthe school, restaurants,medical offices and anyfuture business or restau-rant developments alongHarrison Avenue.

Young families wantconnectivity in their com-munities and the ability to

walk or bike to schools,parks and retail shops,and Callos said the bikingand hiking trail is part ofthe board’s plan to im-prove pedestrian connec-tions throughout thetownship.

“There’s going to be alevel of connectivity inthe township that resi-dents have never seen,”he said.

Hamilton CountyAfter a year of moni-

toring trail visitation,Great Parks of HamiltonCounty has exceeded 1million visits. In May2014, the park districtlaunched a trail counterprogram, tracking trailvisitation on all 12 paved,shared-use trails and theMitchell Memorial ForestMountain Bike Trail (nat-ural) within the park sys-tem. These electroniccounters were installed tomeasure visits, which is asingle trail experience bya user in one given day.

Great Parks has a WalkClub program and a Hik-ing Staff Program.

By Mickey Karram, MD, The Christ Hospital Health Network

Don’t just keepon keeping on!

Age and childbirth take their tollon a woman’s body. But problemswith bowel and bladder control (andsex!) from a weakened pelvic floorare often fixable.

Women tend to put themselveslast. And cope. And not complain.But some personal problems, likesexual discomfort and accidentalbladder and bowel leakage, arereally troublesome. The painful em-barrassment these symptoms causewon’t go away on its own. Luckily,help for these common pelvic floorailments is at hand.

What is the pelvic floor?The pelvis is the ring of bones at-

tached to your legs at the hips. Thisring forms a basin that supports therest of your body. The pelvic flooris the sling of muscles, ligaments,connective tissues and nerves thatcovers the bottom of the basin. Thissling holds up organs in the pelvissuch as the bladder, rectum, uterus(womb) and vagina. Besides keepingthem in place, the pelvic floor helpsorgans work appropriately. In otherwords, it controls bladder and bowelfunction, keeps the organs in theirproper place and allows women tohave enjoyable intercourse.

How do I know if I havea pelvic floor problem?

Just as elastic wears out overtime, the pelvic floor muscles canbecome weak and the ligaments andother tissues can be stretched ordamaged. Extra strain in this areaincreases the chance of developinga problem. Past pregnancies withvaginal delivery, obesity, chroniccoughing, heavy lifting or strainingduring bowel movements increasethe risk. Aging and decreasedestrogen levels, as from menopauseor certain cancer treatments, alsoadd to the risk. So can any medicalcondition that affects the nerves, orsurgery or radiation in the pelvicarea. Almost 30 percent of wom-en — and some men, too — will, atsome time in their lives, develop apelvic floor disorder.

Problems with the pelvic floorcan lead to many symptoms. A fre-quent complaint is bowel or bladdercontrol problems. Muscle weaknessand/or nerve damage in this areacan cause urine leakage or inconti-nence, overactive bladder, bladderpain or frequent bladder infections.It can also cause incontinence ofstool, chronic constipation or diffi-culty evacuating your bowels.

In addition, some patients suf-fer from pelvic organ prolapse.Prolapse means that organs, suchas the bladder, rectum, uterus orvagina, are not well supported andsink lower than they should. Even-tually they can protrude outside thevaginal opening. If a woman lives tobe 80 years old, she has an 11 per-cent chance of having an operationfor prolapse. Other common prob-lems include pelvic pain, painfulintercourse and a variety of thingsthat can contribute to female sexualdysfunction.

What treatment optionsare there?

Many treatment options exist.These are tailored for each indi-vidual patient after initial testing.Therapy often combines approach-es. Simply educating a patient onher condition or making simplechanges in behavior sometimesdoes the trick. Nutritional counsel-ing can also help a patient avoidcertain foods that may worsen hisor her condition, or eat a high-fiberdiet to help soften stool.

Sometimes physical therapy andbiofeedback are used. These treat-ments can help patients learn to

identify, strengthen and relax theirpelvic muscles in order to improvebladder and bowel function, anddecrease pelvic pain. Medicationsare used to treat pelvic floor dis-orders such as overactive bladder,the thinning of tissues in the genitalarea and certain pain syndromes.

Another available treatmentoption is a pessary. A pessary is asmall plastic or silicone medicaldevice inserted into the vaginaor rectum. This device can helpsupport the pelvic organs and keepthem from falling out of place (pro-lapsing). Surgery may be recom-mended if symptoms persist afterother less-invasive options havebeen tried. Most surgical optionsare minimally invasive. This kindof surgery is generally less painful,with less scarring and a quickerrecovery than standard surgery.

MAY 4, 2016 • NORTHWEST PRESS • 7ANEWS

I have to chuckle at the photo I’msharing today. Not a usual photo offood, but one that relates to food atits source.

It’s two of my grandchildren andtheir friend, Baxter. You’ll see Em-erson leading, Baxter behind andlittle Ellery last.

Their destination was supposedto be the green onion row wherethey were to pick onions for theCinco de Mayo spread recipe thatI’m sharing today.

Well, they spied the mulch pileand decided that was more fun thanpicking onions. I caught them walk-ing through the tilled garden ontheir way to the mulch.

I’ve also been to Emerson’sschool, along with two of my othergrandchildren, Eva and Jack, tocelebrate Earth Day and love thatthey are so interested in what Moth-er Nature has to offer.

I told the teachers Iwould share tips forherbs gardens, soalong with the recipesfor celebrating Cincode Mayo and DerbyDay, here’s good in-formation on herbgardening.

Tips on starting anherb garden

Herbs don’t require a lot of tend-ing. Good soil, watering until they’reestablished and good drainage isessential. If you grow in containers,know that you’ll have to water andfertilize a bit more.

Don’t over water or over fertil-ize, as you’ll wind up with lushgrowth but the volatile oils thatflavor the herbs won’t develop.

What herbs to grow?Think about the foods you like to

eat.Cook’s garden could include pars-

ley, basil, rosemary, sage, thymeand oregano.

Pizza garden. Try a grape orcherry tomato plant surrounded byoregano or marjoram, basil, rose-mary and thyme.

Tea garden could have mint,rosemary, stevia, chamomile, lemonverbena, thyme and sage. There areendless variations, and I have moreinformation on my website: aboutea-ting.com.

Get the details: my video on con-tainer gardening: It’s on my websiteAbouteating.com

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herb-alist, educator, Jungle Jim’s East-gate culinary professional and au-thor. Find her blog online atAbouteating.com. Email her [email protected] with“Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line.

Derby Day mini hot browns

I’ve shared the Brown Hotel’s authentic hotbrown sandwich before for Derby Day. Here’s anappetizer version.

1/4 cup chicken broth3 tablespoons butter2 tablespoons flour3/4 cup half & half1 cup cheddar or Swiss or combo of both 18 slices snack rye bread or baguette slices8 oz sliced deli turkeyThinly sliced sweet onion, separated into

rings6 strips cooked and crumbled baconParsley

Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter over medi-um heat and stir in flour until smooth. Stir in creamand broth. Bring to boil and cook for a coupleminutes or until thickened, stirring constantly.Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted.Put bread on baking sheets. Layer each piece withturkey, onion and cheese sauce. Sprinkle withbacon. Bake 10 minutes or until heated through.Sprinkle with parsley.

Cinco de Mayo spread

16 oz refried beans (I like Mexican style)

1/4 cup Picante sauce1-1/2 cups guacamole1/2 cup each sour cream and mayonnaise2-3 tablespoons taco seasoning1 heaping cup shredded Mexican cheese

blend or cheddar2-1/4 oz can ripe olives, sliced and drainedGarnish: Chopped green onions, shredded

lettuce, chopped tomatoes, cheeseChopped fresh cilantro

Combine beans and Picante sauce. Spreadonto shallow platter. Spread with guacamole.Combine sour cream, mayo and taco seasoning andspread over guacamole. Sprinkle with garnishesincluding cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips.

Don’t like cilantro? You’re probably using toomuch. There’s a natural component of cilantro thathas the taste of soap. That’s why folks think cilan-tro tastes like soap when you use too much.

It’s May: Derby Day hot browns, Cinco de Mayo spread

April 20 questionShould Ohio consider and

enact laws similar to thoserecently signed into law inNorth Carolina and Missis-sippi regarding religiousfreedom and LGBT rights?Why or why not?

“Absolutely not! LGBTrights have to do with Amer-ican citizen rights not reli-gious rights. I consider my-self very religious. Thetimes the Jesus socializedwith people his society con-sidered outcasts are numer-ous. As religious people, weare called out to welcomeand love our neighbors (Je-sus didn’t put on qualifiers).As Americans, we should notlimit basic human rightssuch as feeling comfortableusing a rest room. As human

beings, we’re learning moreand more about the geneticmakeup of people, findingthat biologically, there’smore a continuum of genderthan just male and female.Lastly, I don’t think it’s goodfor us as a state, seeing allthe businesses that havepulled ventures/events out,thus hurting those stateseconomically. One citizen’s‘being’ should not affectsomeone’s religious beliefs.

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONDid your high school seniorclass participate in a “seniorprank?” What was the prankand what were the conse-quences?

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

National Small BusinessWeek is May 1 through May 7.As President of the ColerainChamber of Commerce, I en-courage you to support localsmall businesses throughout theyear, but the week of May 1 isan excellent time to recognizehow important they are to ourcountry.

Small businesses are the lifeblood of America. According tothe U.S. Small Business Associa-tion:

» The 28 million small busi-nesses in America account for54 percent of all U.S. sales.

» Small businesses provide55 percent of all jobs and 66percent of all net new jobs sincethe 1970s.

» The number of small busi-nesses in the U.S. has increased49 percent since 1982.

» Since 1990, as big businesseliminated 4 million jobs, smallbusinesses added 8 million newjobs.

Chambers of Commercewere created to primarily servesmall and medium-sized busi-nesses. In fact, 96 percent ofChamber of Commerce mem-bers in the U.S. are companieswith fewer than 100 employeeseach.

If you’re the owner or man-ager of a small business, joiningyour local Chamber of Com-merce makes you part of acredible establishment. It's arecognized team of membersgrowing local business togetherand promoting their local com-

munity. It’s themost trustedconsumersource forbusiness re-ferrals. Studiesrepeatedlyshow that sev-en out of 10consumersbelieve thatbeing a Cham-ber of Com-

merce member enhances abusiness’s reputation, and dem-onstrates that the company usesgood business practices.

Through their local Chamber,small businesses can band to-gether to get the same kinds ofadvantages generally availableto large businesses, such asaccess to lower group rates forWorkers’ Compensation andhealth insurance and otherdiscounts.

Each Chamber provides theresources and tools that itsmembers need to maximizetheir success. Chamber mem-bership helps keep small busi-ness owners and managers ontop of important and ever-changing issues and trends.

Another Chamber member-ship benefit that is particularlyvaluable for small businesses isthe opportunity for networkingand increased visibility. Smallbusinesses can promote theirbusiness by sponsoring localChamber events and programs,and by offering discounts forother Chamber members.

Membership in the ColerainChamber connects small busi-nesses to an expanding coalitionof businesses and organizationsin Northwest Cincinnati. It’s apartnership that links business,schools, and the overall commu-nity in a network that strength-ens and benefits everyone in-volved.

The Colerain Chamber be-lieves in giving back to the localcommunity. For example, aportion of the ticket sales fromthe Chamber’s recent sold-outHometown Hero Gala honoringBuddy LaRosa is being donatedto the Colerain Township Fire-fighters Fund.

The Colerain Chamber’s nextevent is its Golf Outing at Peb-ble Creek Golf Course on Thurs-day, May 12. This golf outingraises money for college schol-arships for local high schoolseniors. The outing is open tothe public, but advance regis-tration is required.

To get more information andto register by Friday, May 6,interested participants shouldvisit the Colerain Chamberwebsite:www.ColerainChamber.org. Youmay also get Information aboutjoining the Colerain Chamberon the website.

Small businesses and localChambers of Commerce form astrong partnership to build astrong community.

Debra Stonehill is presidentof the Colerain Chamber ofCommerce.

In the Northwest LocalSchool District, we believethat students are more likelyto achieve at high levels ifthey know what they are ex-pected to learn and what suc-cess looks like. In an addressto Congress on May 25, 1961,President Kennedy said, "Ibelieve that this nation shouldcommit itself to achieving thegoal, before this decade is out,of landing a man on the moonand returning him safely tothe earth." Many questionedthe capacity of the NationalAeronautics and Space Ad-ministration (NASA) to meetthe president’s schedule. With-in a year, two Americans trav-eled into space. By July 20,1969, the Apollo 11 astronautsachieved the goal set by Presi-dent Kennedy.

Individuals with clear, writ-ten goals are significantlymore likely to succeed thanthose without clearly definedgoals. The Northwest LocalSchool District is committedto providing our students withclear learning goals and scalesthat measure progress to-wards meeting our state stan-dards. Learning goals andscales represent a set of clearcriteria for success. Theyrepresent a progression of

knowledgethat is alignedto the stu-dents' un-derstandingand OhioLearning Stan-dards. Theyare a road mapto success thatshould be usedby students,teachers, and

families to guide the learningprocess. Over the past severalyears, teams of teachers andadministrators have worked todevelop clear learning goalsand scales for every gradelevel and subject area.

Walk into any classroom inthe Northwest Local SchoolDistrict and ask students toshare their learning goals. Youmay hear a kindergarten stu-dent tell you “I can count to100 by ones and tens” or a highschool student state, “I will beable to evaluate the impact oflabor unions upon the businessclimate of the U.S. during theIndustrial Revolution.” Nomatter what level or subjectarea, the use of learning goalsand scales is a part of the ev-eryday routine for studentsand teachers in the NorthwestLocal School District.

Not only can students iden-tify the learning goal, they canalso identify where they areon the scale in relation to thegoal, what skills or knowledgethey need to improve or devel-op to move up on the scale,what they are going to do toimprove, and how they aretracking their progress. Pro-gress on these goals is alsoshared with parents andguardians on a regular basis.We believe that learning goalsand scales will have a pro-found effect on studentachievement when they areused correctly, consistently,and monitored on a regularbasis.

Successful people takepersonal responsibility fortheir own learning. They sethigh goals and do whatever ittakes to achieve them. Goalsetting is an essential instruc-tional practice in our class-rooms. Teachers and familiesin the Northwest Local SchoolDistrict are working togetherto guide students in settingrigorous, yet attainable goalsto ensure student success.

MONFORT HEIGHTS -With the majority of its seasonin the books, La Salle has estab-lished itself as one of the eliteDivision I baseball teams in thearea this spring.

According to coach Joe Voe-gele, the storyline for the Lanc-ers after almost 20 games is asimple one: “We’re not doneyet. We just have to play every-day, that’s the only way we cando well. We can’t look ahead.”

That philosophy has helpedLa Salle, ranked No. 4 in TheEnquirer area coaches’ poll,navigate an unrelenting sched-ule with a 15-4 record.

Before the season began,Voegele said he thought histeam would have great seniorleadership and pitching depth.He was right.

If there were questionsabout this La Salle team, theycame in the form of figuringout who would be on the moundin major games, and replacingthe loss of the middle of its line-up from last season. The Lanc-ers have answered those ques-tions.

“I think both of those (seniorleadership and pitching depth)have been key,” Voegele said.“I think with the pitching weweren’t quite sure who the No.1, or two or top three for thatmatter, would be and we foundthat out.”

Senior Jacob Kaiser, aCharleston commit, has an-chored the top of the rotationwith a 5-0 record, 1.58 ERA anda pair of wins over Moeller.

Voegele said of Kaiser,“He’s stepped up to be that No.1 guy.”

Junior Micah Allen, who’salso hitting .340 with 15 RBI,has occupied the No. 2 spot andsenior Jake Barford at No. 3.Voegele’s been impressed withall three, saying, “They’re defi-nitely the three guys we go tofirst.”

Quintin Baldwin, JakeHughes and Dana Reeves haveall thrown double digit inningsthis year.

“I mentioned the pitchinghas been solid; the hitting hasbeen as well,” said Voegele.“The RBI guys have beenspread out; we’re hittingthroughout the lineup.

“Really the main thing we

were concerned about were thethree, four and five (hittersgraduating). (Anthony) Belland (Nigel) Williams were 1-2in the GCL in RBIs. This yearwe have seven guys with 10 ormore RBIs … that really makesa difference.”

Top-to-bottom, La Salle’slineup has proven it can hit.

Senior Tim Casey, who’ssigned with Ashland, leads theGreater Catholic League Southwith a .500 average to go with15 RBIs. Junior Brady Rey-nolds (.411, 11RBI), senior Kev-in Browne (.400, 17 RBIs), sen-ior Andrew Sexton (.355, 14RBIs), junior Tyler Wardwell

(.345), sophomore Griffin Mer-ritt (.327, 14 RBIs) and seniorJon Hambrick (10 RBIs) haveall produced.

“The other key is really ourdefense,” Voegele said. “Weplay pretty good defense. Ifyou catch the ball and you havegood pitching you have achance to win every game.”

As of April 29, the Lancersheld a one-game lead in theGCL South with two leaguegames remaining against El-der, on the road May 2 and athome May 4.

La Salle’s last conferencechampionship was 1994, ac-cording to Voegele.

Strong start, but ‘not doneyet,’ says La Salle coachAdam [email protected]

MT. HEALTHY - Mount Healthy’s boystrack and field team has enjoyed a strongstart to the season. A month into it, severalOwls hold the top spot in the Southwest OhioConference proceedings.

However, as any athlete will say, it’s notso much about the start as it is about the fin-ish. A couple Mount Healthy athletes havebig goals this season, including a berth toColumbus.

“That’s the main goal,” Jordan Daileysaid. “We were short of qualifying last year.That definitely left a bad taste in ourmouth.”

To reach that goal, the Owls will needsome better fortune. Two of their moreprominent contributors haven’t raced in ameet in quite some time.

Ja’Vonte Williams and Trayvon Wilburngot hurt during the second meet of the yearat Georgetown and in practice, respective-ly.

“We got it put on us at a meet up in Day-ton because we didn’t have them running,”coach Ken Meibers said. “Having themsidelined sends a ripple effect through therest of the team because we have to take

guys out of other spots to fill the roles. When

that happens, we are going to struggle.”When healthy, Williams was one of the

top 400-meter runners in the city. Wilburn’sinjury, which Meibers thought wasn’t asbad as Williams’, is keeping him from run-ning the 100- and 200-meter dashes.

As of April 27, Wilburn had the best timein the city in the 100 at 10.70 seconds. In the200, he’s in the top-four.

The coach is hoping they will return tothe team and be ready to run by May 10, thestart date of the SWOC championship meet.

On paper, Mount Healthy should win thatmeet going away. A quick glance at the con-ference’s top times reveals the Owls boastthe deepest team in the conference.

If Owls aren’t holding the top spot, andthey often are, numerous Owls are near thetop of the standings.

That said, the coach still sees major com-petition from rival Northwest as well asHarrison. The athletes know they can’t justshow up and win, too.

Dailey, Wilburn and Williams all agreedthey need to hold teammates accountableand run through the finish line, not just stopat it.

They feel that if they do that, it will pro-pel them to where they want to go.

“We ready,” Dailey said.

NORTH COLLEGE HILL - JimHerman’s professional golf careerhas taken him all over the world, andApril 24 at Clovernook Country Club,where he’s a member, he returned toits inception, and again reminded hishometown he hasn’t forgotten wherehe came from.

Herman, 38, a graduate of St. Xavi-er High School and the University ofCincinnati, was in town to help Clo-vernook celebrate its opening week-end, three weeks after he won hisfirst career PGA Tour event at theShell Houston Open.

Two weeks ago Herman was play-ing at Augusta National Golf Club inthe Masters.

On a flawless Sunday afternoon,Herman, joined by UC’s men’s andwomen’s golf teams, answered ques-tions and spoke for nearly 45 minutes— to a crowd which horseshoedaround him — about his personaljourney running down a dream.

He began with a reminder that hewas cut from the freshman golf teamat St. X, but eventually wound up apart of the Bombers’ state champion-ship team in 1995.

It was at UC where Herman, whonow lives in Florida with his wife andtwo kids, started to think about golf asa career.

“I had four wonderful years (atUC). I learned so much and my gameimproved so much,” said Herman.

“It gave me the confidence that Icould just possibly think about turn-ing pro.

“Whatever profession you’re in,you don’t just walk in and accomplish

all your goals in the first couple yearson the job. Most of us, we’ve got tolearn how to travel, learn how to prac-tice, (and) you need help.”

He learned, among other things,how to ask for help and it made all thedifference.

“If you don’t stick with it and seekhelp or you give up, obviously wewould have never gotten here,” Her-man said.

“There were a lot of times my PGATour dream could have ended. Sevenstraight years going to (Qualifying)School and I couldn’t get through thesecond stage of Q School. (It wouldhave been) very easy to say ‘I’m notgoing to be on tour.’ There was no rea-son for that. I knew I was goodenough.”

He worked in a golf shop for threeyears, and kept working.

His final message to the membersand Bearcats who were hanging onhis every word was, “You alwayshave a chance if you never give up.”

Tax season can be a toughtime for many people and aBatavia woman says the taxreturn prepared for her andher husband was done in-correctly.

Their taxes, prepared by anational tax preparationfirm, were filed as marriedfiling jointly when theyshould have been marriedfiling separately, she says.

As a result, she writes, theIRS put an offset on theirtaxes.

“The remaining balance

was supposedto go straight tochild supportwhich wouldpay my arrear-age off in full,but they stillhave not re-ceived thatmoney…Eve-ryone keepstelling me a

different story and no oneknows where our tax moneywent,” she says.

So what can she do at this

point? I contacted the IRSwas told married taxpayerscan, in fact, choose to file twoseparate tax returns. Thismay be beneficial if it resultsin less tax owed than if theyfiled a joint tax return. TheIRS suggests you prepareyour taxes both ways, mar-ried filing jointly and mar-ried filing separately, to seewhich one is more beneficial.

Given all the problemsshe’s having with peopletelling her different stories,she may want to receive ad-

vocacy and assistance fromthe Taxpayer Advocate Ser-vice.

The Taxpayer AdvocateService is an independentorganization at the IRS. Itsjob is to make sure everytaxpayer is treated fairly.You can reach the advocateservice at 1-877-777-4778.

The IRS says you need tochoose your tax return pre-parer wisely because you areresponsible for the informa-tion on your tax return – nomatter who prepares the

return. At this point, she may

want to consult a certifiedpublic accountant and con-sider filing an amended taxreturn. But, the IRS says, itmay be wise to first reachout to the Taxpayer AdvocateService to see if it can locatethe funds that were supposedto have been sent to childsupport.

George Vincent, man-aging partner and chair-man of Dinsmore, wasrecognized for his contri-bution to Catholic Inner-city Schools EducationFund at a reception at theUniversity Club of Cincin-nati. Vincent served as thechairman for the 2015CISE annual campaign,which raised $2.9 million,well exceeding the cam-paign goal.

Vincent was supportedin this outstanding en-deavor by a team of ded-icated CISE board mem-bers and volunteers.James B. (Rick) Reynoldsand Jim Hagerty, invest-ment advisors for Bart-lett, co-chaired the MajorGifts Committee. TheYoung Executive team ofvolunteers was led by An-drew Williamson, assis-tant vice president, pri-vate banker, The PrivateClient Reserve of U.S.Bank and Alex Kummer,senior accountant atClark Schaefer, Hackett &Co.

A highlight of the eve-ning was when our stu-dent ambassadors fromSt. Francis Seraph and St.Joseph came to the podi-um. All three confidentlyaddressed the assembledvolunteers, expressingtheir appreciation andsharing their plans for thefuture. Laurence Chris-tian, an eighth-grade stu-dent from St. JosephSchool spoke as his moth-er proudly looked on, “Mymother has always taughtme to be respectful, butSt. Joseph made sure Ipracticed it!”

Laurence concludedhis remarks, saying,“Please don’t walk awayfrom this event believingthat your financial sup-port is your only contribu-tion. You provide so muchmore than that. You’veprovided me with a safeplace to learn, I’m a littlecloser to God, I was sur-rounded by people wholove and care about me,but most of all I plan to bejust like you! I will pay itforward.

“I would like to thank

the entire staff at St. Jo-seph and CISE for helpingmy mother and shapingme into the young man Iam today. This experiencehas allowed me to see thatthe word impossible real-ly means I’M POSSIBLE.Your actions have spokenmuch louder than anywords, and I will neverforget it.”

Transcripts of all threestudent’s remarks can befound at www.cisefun-d.org.

Village of Lockland, OhioWhat’s On Tap?

2015 Water Quality Consumers’ Confidence Report

Last year your Lockland tap water met all US EPA and State EPA drinking water health standards!

This pamphlet, What’s On Tap? gives all the details.

Lockland Water Source

The source of Lockland’s drinking water is three wells, about 200 feet deep, each having the capacity to pump 700 to 900 gallons per minute: that’s more than 1,000,000 gallons per day. The wells are located three miles north of Lockland in Sharonville, Ohio. This source has provided a dependable water supply since the early 1940s

The wells are susceptible to contamination due to the sensitive nature of the sand and gravel aquifer in which the water wells are located and the existing potential contaminant sources (e.g., commercial and man-ufacturing establishments). The wells’ depth, however, of about 200 feet, provides some natural protection against the downward migration of contamination.

Since 1999, in order to minimize any future potential contamination to the well field, Lockland has been active in implementing EPA recom-mended strategies, including:• Wellhead Protection Delineation in 1999• Wellhead Protection Inventory of Potential Pollution Sources in 2001• Resurvey of Potential Sources in 2002, 2003, 2007, and 2008• In the Spring of 2015 another Resurvey of Potential Sources was initiated• Implemented Wellhead Management Plan in 2003

Ohio EPA awarded Lockland a certificate commending the Village for our Wellhead Protection Program.

The Lockland Water Works also has a back-up & emergency connection with the Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW). During 2015 we used zero gallons from this connection. In the past, on average, this connection is used for approximately 0-7 days each year. This report does not contain information on the water quality received from GCWW, but a copy of their consumer confidence report can be obtained by contacting them at (513)624-5600 or email [email protected] or visiting their website http://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/water/.

Water Treatment Process

The well water is pumped from the well field to the Lockland water treatment plant for the following processes:§ Reduce the Well Water Hardness. The well water hardness, averaging 385 mg/l (parts per million), is reduced to an average of 180 mg/l by adding lime (calcium hydroxide) to

precipitate the harness as calcium carbonate.§ Stabilization. Corrosion and lime scale deposits in the water distribution system and residential plumbing are minimized by adjusting the water pH with carbon dioxide and adding 1

mg/l sodium hexameta phosphate (Calgon).§ Treatment. Is achieved by the addition of chlorine to the water. The average chlorine residual in the distribution system was 0.8376 mg/l; the maximum was 1.80 mg/l. The EPA

maximum allowable residual is 4.0 mg/l.§ Filtration. Is achieved by running the water through two sand and gravel gravity filters before distribution to Lockland customers.

Distribution System

Bacteriological coliforms are bacteria that are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other potentially harmful bacteria may be present. Lockland is required to take 4 samples per month. In 2015, Lockland had one sample test positive on Friday, December 11, 2015. Samples were re-taken on Monday, December 14, 2015 with all results showing negative for bacteria. Ohio EPA requires a re-testing of all positive test locations within 24 hours of a positive result. The LWW regrets that it did not meet this requirement. The LWW has taken steps to prevent the delay in re-testing in the future.

Possible Drinking Water ContaminantsThe sources of drinking water (both tap & bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or human activity. Contaminants that my be present in source water include: (A) Microbial contaminants, such as viruses & bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations & wildlife; (B) Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil & gas production, mining, or farming; (C) Pesticides & herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, & residential uses; (D) Organic chemical contaminants, incl. synthetic & volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, & can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, & septic systems; (E) Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil & gas production & mining activities.In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, USEPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants & potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Federal Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791) or at http://water.epa.gov/drink/contaminants/.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised person, such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk of infection. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. The EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the US EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791) and http://water.epa.gov/drink/contaminants/

Based upon past monitoring data, lead in Lockland’s drinking water is not a concern. The most recent test results, for a set of 20 samples each collected on June 24 and 25 as well as July 1, 2014. And then one was also done on May 15, 2015. All were taken at individual residences, and all results were less than the detectable level.

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with water service lines and home plumbing.

Lockland’s public drinking water system is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in home plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by running your tap for 30 seconds to two minutes before using water for drinking or cooking.

If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline 1.800.426.4791 or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
