Some factors that canlead to falls for senior citi-zens include medications

they are taking, illness,declining eyesight and alack of safety equipmentin the home the likes ofhand rails, grab bars andmodified showers, hesaid.

“There are a lot of old-er people who are tryingto get by on their own,” hesaid, noting the townshiphas a high population ofsenior citizens. “We canmake a difference.”

Dietz reviewed emer-gency runs involving sen-ior citizens who had fallenand contacted them to askwhether they wanted to

participate in the study.About 80 township resi-dents agreed to take part,and they were randomlydivided into two studygroups – an interventiongroup and a controlgroup.

Residents in the con-trol group were providedfall prevention brochuresand referral resources,but received no hands-onintervention.

Those in the interven-tion group completed anevidenced-based fall pre-vention model calledStepping On, which in-cluded seven sessions atNathanael Greene Lodgeand featured education,exercise, home modifica-tions and follow-up homevisits.

Lambers said the Step-ping On classes coveredbalance and strength ex-ercises, moving aboutsafely, reducing homehazards, vision, medica-tion, sleep, bone health,getting out and about andplanning ahead to reducefalls.

She said participantswere able to share theirexperiences with one an-other, heard from safetyexperts and worked withphysical therapists andoccupational therapiststhroughout the sessions.

During the follow-uphome visits, she said cer-tified aging in place spe-cialists examined partici-pants’ homes and collabo-rated with People Work-ing Cooperatively tomake home modifica-

tions, such as installinggrab bars, banisters, handrails, tub seats and safetylighting.

Study results showedthe residents who com-pleted the Stepping Onprogram had a 40 percentreduction in self-reportedfalls, improved thinkingand planning to reducefall risks, improved theirbalance and improvedtheir ability to plan safetystrategies in regard towalking, balance and fallreduction, Lambers said.

“We received a lot ofpositive comments fromthe township residentswho participated in thestudy,” she said. “As aGreen Township resident,I appreciate the townshipbeing forward-thinkingabout residents’ health.”

Green Township Fire &EMS Chief Douglas Wit-sken said the departmentwas proud to be a part ofthe study and the Step-ping On program.

“We’re on the groundfloor of this, it’s an innova-tive approach,” he said.“It was the first of its kindin the state of Ohio andwas very successful.”

Lambers said shewould now like to see theprogram adopted in com-munities statewide andincorporate local fire andEMS departments as part-ners in fall risk identifica-tion, education and publicawareness to reduce fallsamong senior citizens.

“We’ve just scratchedthe surface on this,” shesaid.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

DELHI TWP. - Areaveterans are once againhelping make the holidaysa little brighter for neigh-borhood military families.

The Delhi TownshipVeterans Association issponsoring its annualChristmas basket pro-gram. The group is givingaway baskets full of foodand goodies to Delhi resi-dents who have familymembers in the militarystationed away fromhome this holiday season.

“Hopefully this makesit a little easier for them toenjoy the holidays,” BobBurke, treasurer of theveterans association, said.

He said the group pur-chases gift baskets andgift cards from Kroger,and association membersdeliver them to families a

few days before Christ-mas.

This is the sixth yearthe organization has con-ducted the program, hesaid.

“We get letters fromsome of the families tell-ing us how much they doappreciate it,” Burke said.“That’s part of our pur-pose as a veterans organi-

zation, to try to do what wecan for families withloved ones who are serv-ing our country.”

While nothing can com-pletely fill the void of hav-ing a son or daughter, orbrother or sister awayfrom home for the holi-days, association secre-tary Jeff Lefler said theChristmas basket pro-

gram gives the veteransgroup a chance to bringsome joy to area militaryfamilies.

“It does mean a lot tothe families,” he said.

“I know it helps cheerthem up and brightens uptheir holiday.

“It’s also another wayfor us to say thank you fortheir service and sacri-

fice,” Lefler said.Delhi military families

interested in receiving abasket, or residents whoknow a military familywho could use a basket,have until Saturday, Dec.19 to register.

To register a family,call Bob Burke at 922-8229 or Joe Jones at 251-3515.

You’ll never believe what kind of“gift without ribbons” I received lastweek.

Farmer Bruner, who lives down theroad, knocked on my back kitchen

screen door. He had afive-gallon bucket ofhickory nuts on his arm.

“I thought you mightlike some,” he told me.What? Like some? Howabout love some? “Thesenuts came from treesfirst planted long ago bymy dad on our farm,’ hesaid. He told me to shell acouple and plant them,which we did.

Hickory nuts are so expensive whenyou find them shelled (if you can) at thegrocery. So to have been given a bigbucketful was both overwhelming andso very cool.

The thing, though, about hickorynuts, is that they have an outer shell,which is fairly easily removed in fourquadrants. The inner shell, not somuch. Lucky for me our son, Jason,came over with two of his boys, Willand Jack, to help split wood that sameday. I corralled Jack into helping mecrack nuts with bricks while Willhelped with wood. (If you’ve nevershelled a hickory nut, go to my websiteAbouteating.com to see “how to” photosby Jack). We used some of the hickorynuts in this classic monkey bread reci-pe. Eating it warm from the oven was areal treat.

And oh by the way, I promised JackI’d make him some Harry Potter butterbeer next time he comes over. I’m shar-ing both the monkey bread and thebutter beer recipes today.

Rita’s recommendation forholiday cookbook giving

America’s Test Kitchen: 100 Recipes:The Absolute Best Ways To Make TheTrue Essentials. ($40, four colorthroughout, hardcover).

I can’t say enough about this book. Itshould be on everyone’s shelf. I haveused it numerous times already. Thebook truly does contain all the essential

recipes you need, and variations on thethemes, as well. There are everydayregulars like tomato sauce, pork roastand brownies, along with deliciousstews, Asian classics, pies, steaks, sea-food, you name it, this book has it. Andthe recipes are all doable, since they’vebeen tested so thoroughly. I can seecooking out of this book through 2016.

Dec. 10 questionDo you agree with the decision

not to prosecute the officer whoshot Trepierre Hummons, after heshot Cincinnati Officer SonnyKim? Why or why not?

“I agree with the decision notto prosecute the officer. He ar-rived onto and active shooter sit-uation, where a fellow law en-forcement officer had just beenshot and the shooter was still inpossession of a fire arm. Fromthe reports, the arriving offi-cer’s car was shot at, and he waslucky enough to get out of the ve-hicle and the community wasfortunate that he was able to killthe gunman before any moreharm was done either to furtherlaw officers or the community.

“The fact that prosecution ofthe officer was even being con-sidered is insulting to law offi-cers who put themselves inharm’s way everyday, workingto keep communities safe.”

C.S.

“Shouldn’t like to speculate. Idon’t know what the prosecu-tor’s office knew that made themdecline. Obviously this was anarmed and dangerous felon whohad proven he would not carewho he shot. As in all shooting in-vestigations, the officer whoshot Hummons, was thoroughlyinvestigated. Given the politicalposturing that has allowed thefavoring of felons over law en-forcement, I’m fairly confidentthat any shred of liability wouldhave resulted in an indictment.The public is probably awaken-ing to the concept that makingpolice officers scapegoats inspecious lawsuits, certainlydoesn’t encourage anyone to be-come a police officer. We needthat thin blue line more thanever these days.”

D.B.

“Why is this even a question?Why would there ever be an iotaof question whatsoever aboutprosecuting Officer Sandmanfor doing his job in the only prop-er way it must be done whenfaced with a deranged person in-tent on committing suicide-by-cop, especially after the perpe-trator had taken Officer Kim’slife in such a brutal manner?

“Officer Sandman should becommended and congratulatedfor his excellent performance ofduty in the most challenging sit-uation any police officer hopesnever to be faced with. Sadlythere have been far too many po-lice involved shootings recentlyand several of those have beenquestionable. The blatant mur-der of Officer Kim involved nosuch ambiguity. I am guessingthat the sad memories of every-thing that transpired that daywill haunt Officer Sandman forthe rest of his life, but I for one,am proud of him, salute him andthank him for his professionalservice.”

M.J.F.

“If Officer Sandman had notshot Hummons, others besidesOfficer Kim could have beenwounded or killed. Officer Sand-man deserves a medal not anyprosecution. The good news isthe various Reverend’s (Jacksonand Sharpton et al) did not feelthe need to get involved. Go Fig-ure!”

T.D.T.

“Are you kidding with thisquestion? He should be given amedal and a key to the city.”

A makeshift memorial for TrepierreHummons sits in the 4500 block ofWhetsel Ave. in Madisonville.

The Sayler Park HistoricalSociety has written a cook-book. It is not like any othercookbook you have seen. Itdoesn’t have photographs ofthe finished product. Instead ithas photos of the family mem-

bers whosubmitted therecipe. Thebook com-bines recipeswith history.

In ‘Forgot-ten RecipesFrom SaylerPark” thereare 36 pagesof heavyglossy paper

that can be wiped off when itgets dirty. The recipes don’thave ordinary names; eitherthey are named for places andobjects of Sayler Park.

Mississippi mud pie wassubmitted by Shelby Louden.It is recipe for coffee icecream. The photograph sub-mitted with it is Cap. HarryLouden, of the MississippiDelta Queen, watching a shipboard wedding. Barbara Rittersubmitted a family photo and arecipe for dahlia dandy dande-lion salad.

Engine Co. 50 got into theact with photographs of FireChief Bert Lugannani andtools they use to fight fireswith. They might need a few ofthem for their recipe Fighting50 firehouse chili. And fire-fighter Read Papania sub-mitted his unique recipe. “Putanything in a crockpot andcook it all day and call it din-ner.”

There are recipes from the1800s. Tate Shepard submittedtwo hand written recipes fromhis great-great-grandmother,Abigail North Humphreys Shemade her own catsup andpickles. You can read Tate’stomato catsup and Indian pick-

les. There is a recipe called1918 frozen ohio fudge bars.The accompanying photographis of the Anderson Ferry’sBoone No. 5 stuck in the icegorge of 1918. It sunk alongwith many other steam boats.

The Maples was an oldhouse built by Eric Richardsonwhere he had a quarter horsefarm. Before it was torn downit was converted into apart-ments. Its recipe is called TheMaples Syrup, along with pho-to and drawings of the build-ing.

You can find a hand writtenrecipe for grapefruit pudding.When Sayler Park Elementaryopened in 1929, cooking class-es were taught. Teacher MarieCloyd School taught girls howto cook. There is Lock 37 damjam and Eden Chapel springluncheon strawberry pretzelsalad.

When members of the His-torical society were organizingfiles they found old recipes in

them.“We found maybe 12 togeth-

er and thought we could makea cookbook from them,” Presi-dent Jackie Apted said.

Gail Frederick Kelly, vicepresident, was assigned tocollect the recipes. She posteda message on Facebook, andthe recipe’s started coming in.After the recipes were col-lected they were given to Tam-my Back, from North Bendwho has done books for familymembers.

Cost of the book is $36 pluspostage. They can be orderedby emailing Jackie Apted atracinrev44@aol., or they canbe ordered from the SaylerPark Historical Society grouppage on Facebook.

Eighteen percent of ourregion’s population lives belowthe poverty level – this affectsall communities from WesternHills to Downtown to AndersonTownship.

A core tenet of LaRosa’sFamily Pizzeria is about sup-porting families in our commu-nity by helping our neighborsin need. Children living in pov-erty are particularly effected –in many cases, these childrengo to school hungry and overthe holiday break, parents don’thave enough resources to pro-vide the meals that would nor-mally be provided in school orat after school programs.

More than 44 percent ofCincinnati children in povertygo to school ill prepared; indirty clothes, without socks orwearing shoes that don’t fit.Some schoolteachers even havefood and clothing closets atschool to help. Imagine havinga household income of less than$20,000 a year for yourself andseveral children – it doesn’t go

far. Imaginehow you’d feelas a parentknowing thatyour child ishungry andhaving no re-sources to feedthem. Or thatyour childdoesn’t have acoat for ourfrigid Cincin-

nati winters. This is a snapshotof the working poor.

Nationally one in five chil-dren face hunger on a dailybasis. We all have a role to playin ensuring that no child goeshungry. Part of that role istalking about “food insecurity”with friends, colleagues andfamily to help raise awarenessof this critical issue. Volun-teering is another way you canactively help – The FreestoreFoodbank, among other socialservice organizations, seeksvolunteers, particularly duringthe holidays to ensure that all

of its clients receive the helpthat they need.

This holiday season, LaRo-sa’s is proud to once again sup-port the Freestore Foodbank ofCincinnati to help the individ-uals and families in our com-munity. Beginning the dayafter Thanksgiving, each of ourpizzerias will sell Buddy Cards(our two-for-one pizza discountcard) to benefit the FreestoreFoodbank. The Freestore Food-bank is one of Ohio’s largestfood banks, distributing morethan 20 million meals annuallyin 20 different countiesthroughout Ohio, Kentucky,and Indiana. We will donate $5from the sale of every $10 Bud-dy Card directly to the Fre-estore Foodbank. Our contribu-tion will help support the Fre-estore Foodbank efforts toprovide the necessary re-sources to help eliminate foodinsecurity in our region. Pleasejoin us in our efforts to surpassour 2014 contribution of $40,000to the Freestore Foodbank.

GREEN TWP. – Oak HillsHigh School already had a for-midable team returning forthe 2015-16 season. The High-landers have been bolsteredby the addition of privateschool athletes who are com-peting with the squad thisyear.

Senior captain Alyssa Mc-Carthy is the team’s veteranpresence. The team’s only sen-ior, she will be counted on toprovide leadership for the

team’s fourfreshmen.Those four rep-resent the pro-gram’s largestever freshmanclass.

“Her exper-tise and confi-dence will helpher lead the

team to a successful season,”said head coach Kristin Peri-ca.

Nina Wurzelbacher, a SetonHigh School student, qualifiedfor state as an individual in thebeam last season. Because shelives within the Oak HillsSchool District, she has beenallowed to join the Highland-ers team this season.

“We are so excited that Se-ton has allowed Nina to joinour team this year because shebrings so much experiencethat will help our team be suc-cessful this season,” said Per-ica.

Also joining the squad is Se-ton’s Caroline Klug. Mother ofMercy student Kiki Carle alsotrains with the Highlanderswhile competing individuallyfor Mercy. Carle qualified forstate in the floor last year andis working to add new up-grades to her routine. Fresh-man Donna Derrenkamp andjuniors Caylee Cracium andNatalia Johnson enter the sea-

son with experience and im-proved routines.

These experienced gym-nasts will give Oak Hills aboost. Nearly half of lastyear’s roster entered last sea-son with no competitive gym-nastics experience. They en-ter this year with a better un-derstanding of the rules andthe amount of work it takes to

succeed at this level.“Last year, our team was

very young and inexperi-enced. This year, our team hasimproved tremendously overthe summer with many up-graded skills,” said Perica.“They have also gained moreconfidence going into this sea-

The main goal forthis season is to qualifyfor state as a team,something Oak Hillshas never done. Individ-uals like McCarthy andMcKenzey Kleinholzwant to make their firsttrip to state, and thegymnasts who havebeen there, Wurzel-bacher and Carle, wantto return and redeemthemselves from lastyear’s disappointingstate showings.

Oak Hills is off to astrong start, winningthe first meet of the sea-son at Turpin on Dec. 8.The Highlanders re-turn to competition onJan. 23 at the Elk Invita-tional at Centerville.

“I am very excited tosee this team push eachother to reach their ownpersonal goals and ourgoals as a team,” saidPerica. “I look forwardto watching my teamhave a record-breakingseason this year.”

Seton’s Nina Wurzelbacher executes her balance beam routine at the citychampionships Feb. 22.

This will be a year oftransition for the boys bowl-ing team at Oak Hills. AlexRieger is the team’s only re-turning varsity bowler.There will be in-seasoncompetition to round out therotation.

“We lost a couple of thebig power bowlers,” saidcoach Kurt Francisco. “Westill have several bowlerswith talent who are continu-ing to get better. Theirstyles of bowling are sim-pler and they are open-minded.”

C.J. Martini, HunterBratfish, and Josh Feibel-man have been filling threevarsity spots well so far thisseason. The final spot is anopen competition, with Ja-son Hauke, Tim Hennessey,and Max Hennessey rotat-ing for the fifth and finalvarsity spot.

The team’s main goal,said Francisco, is to “winthe GMC with this new buttalented group of youngmen and make the best runwe can to try and make it tostate.”

The Highlanders hadtheir streak of five straightGMC championshipssnapped by Middletown lastyear. Oak Hills is off to 4-1start to this season. TheHighlanders have not goneconsecutive years without aconference championshipsince 2005-2006. They arefocused on reclaiming theircrown.

“The best way to achievethese goals is to take it onestep at a time,” said Francis-co, “and take care of the ob-stacle we have in front of usat that time/day.”

La Salle has become thepremier GCL South bowlingteam of this decade. TheLancers have won threestraight conference titlesand are off to a 4-0 start tothis season.

La Salle needs to replaceGCL South bowler of theyear Ben Millard, butshould be able to reloadquickly. The Lancers will beled by seniors Danny Reich-wein and Tevin Carter-Tol-bert this year. Reichweinearned first team all-con-ference honors as a juniorlast season. The veteransquad is deep with upper-classmen. Seniors AlexBellman and Jordan Rey-nolds and junior Noah Kurtzwill step into bigger rolesthis season. The Lancerswelcome five new bowlersto the varsity team.

“Goal No. 1 is to win theGCL South again for thefourth straight year,” headcoach Hollis Haggard IIIsaid, “and hopefully qualifyfor the state tournament.”

Elder has not won theGCL South bowling titlesince 2011. This year’s teamwill need to replace fourseniors who each averageda 199 or higher last season.The Panthers’ lack of expe-rience will be tested earlyand often this season.

Seniors Danny Sullivanand Jake Bailey and juniorEthan Winkler will need tocarry the squad this season.

“The newcomers all havelittle varsity experience, sothey will be baptized byfire,” said coach Dave Sie-vers.

Juniors Conner Brocker,Oliver Hand, and MatthewPeterson, and sophomoreNathan Johnson will roundout the varsity team. Brock-er has some varsity experi-ence and Johnson is show-ing potential, averaging a210 early this season.

The Panthers want to rolltheir way back to the top ofthe GCL South.

“La Salle has had a firmgrip on that trophy for a fewyears now,” said Sievers.“We are anxious to try andretrieve it.”

The last team other thanLa Salle to win a GCL Southbowling title? The St. Xavi-er Bombers. Seniors ChaseNeville and Ian Beck willlead the charge to return St.Xavier to the top, wherethey last finished in 2012.Newcomers Alvin Chaney(senior) and Garrett Litzin-ger (sophomore) will alsomake immediate impacts onthe varsity team.

“This year’s squad has abalance of new talent andreturning talent,” saidcoach Matt Hott. “Theyhave really come togetheras a team.”

Rather than paying at-tention to the teams they arechasing in the conferenceand the state, the Bomberswill focus all of their energyon self-improvement.

“This year’s team goalsare to finish strong in tour-naments, make it to state asa team, and to improve eachmatch,” said Hott. “To dothat we have to concentrateon closing frames and not toworry how other teams areproducing.”

Taylor has a boys bowlingteam and a new coach inZach Horstman. The squadpicked up its first win of theseason on Dec. 3. Horstmanis a former Oak Hills bowlerand will bring his experi-ence to the Yellow Jackets.Taylor qualified for state in2014 and is looking to getback after falling short lastyear.

SIDELINES

Mother of Mercy’s streak offour straight GGCL titles wassnapped by McAuley last sea-son. After 2014’s state tourna-ment berth, the Bobcats are ea-ger to return to the state tourna-ment.

The Bobcats are led by re-turning starters Emily Kuder-er, Alyssa Cassidy, and MeghanLanter. They will be bolsteredby a strong group of sopho-mores. Sarah Braunstein, Dimi-tri Cottman, Ann Marie Nuck-ols, and Alexis Franzosa willplay bigger roles on the varsitythis season.

“We will need our verystrong group of sophomores tostep up and contribute somehigh scores,” said coach JoeLengerich.

Mercy is hungry to return tostate. Lanter is the only return-ing bowler who rolled with that2014 squad. If the underclass-men can emerge and put up bigscores in the postseason, theBobcats could reclaim theirplace atop the GGCL and makeanother run at the state tourna-ment.

Oak Hills placed five bowlerson the all-conference team lastseason and brings back firstteam all-GMC bowlers AlyssaBaldwin and Mandi Chafins.

Juniors Mary Hein and Dan-ielle Martini will fill the voidsleft by three all-conference sen-iors from last year’s team. TheHighlanders have earned ashare of the GMC champion-ship each of the past two sea-sons.

“We lost three seniors buthave had three others step nice-ly into their new roles on thevarsity team,” said coach RobinHoernschmeyer. “They havethe same determination andspirit as last year which wonthem the GMC for 2014-2015;they plan on repeating their titlewin this season.”

Senior Megan Hoeting and

junior Dez Bolden have movedup to the varsity after compet-ing on the junior varsity lastseason. They have shown im-provement that should bolsterthe Highlanders’ scores thisseason.

“Both girls are really step-ping up and show great im-provement from their previousseasons with the team,” saidHoernschmeyer.

After being eliminated in thedistrict tournament the pastfew years, the Highlanders areeager to make it to the state

tournament. McAuley is led by a trio of

seniors in Natalie DeMeo, Madi-son Baker, and Julie Lasonczyk.After that, there are questionmarks.

“Last year’s squad had a lotof experience and leadershipand was loaded with juniors andseniors,” said coach Ken Hom-er. “This is a rebuilding year.The lack of a JV team this yearhas put us a year behind in de-veloping the talent to the degreeneeded for varsity.”

The Mohawks will rely ontwo freshmen and a sophomoreto contribute on the varsityteam this season. FreshmanAshley Bushman has beenshowing promise early this sea-son, said Homer.

It will be a challenge to re-peat as GGCL champs, and theMohawks know that they havetheir work cut out for them.There is plenty of time to im-prove and peak come tourna-ment time.

“We’ve had a slow start thisseason, so this will be an uphillbattle,” said Homer. “We aim tobe one of the best spare shoot-ing teams every year. This hasbeen our Achilles heel so far,but I’m confident that this willpick up as the year progresses.”

Members of the General Assem-

bly clearly voiced their support for

a smoke-free Kentucky bill for the

2015 session last week that mirrors

previously failed legislation in 2014.

Denouncing the argument that a

smoke-free bill prohibiting smoking

in public places would kill business,

Brent Cooper, a business owner

from northern Kentucky, said not

only are businesses prospering

across the Ohio River in Cincinnati

with a smoke-free law, but that the

pubs in Ireland haven’t shut down

since the country put a ban on

smoking in the workplace 10 years

ago.Many legislators conferred that

public smoking was indefensible in

Kentucky given the state’s bad

health ratings compared to other

states throughout the U.S.

According to testimony from

Wayne Meriwether, CEO of Twin

Lakes Regional Medical Center,

second-hand smoke is just as dan-

gerous for those that don’t smoke.

all Kentuckians smoke. We lead the
