The large, flashing signalong the stretch of Interstate275 near the Beechmont Ave-nueexit prettymuchsays it all –“Free – Hot Meal – Tonight.”

This is the typical Wednes-day message for the Solid RockChurch south campus at 3946Hopper Hill Road in UnionTownship.

On any given Wednesdayfrom 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., a team offaithful volunteers come to-gether to nourish the body andspirit of about 200 individuals.Entering the church cafe,known ax Master’s Kitchen, islike walking through the doorsof grandma’s house. Guests aregreeted with warm hugs andblessings. They are seated andthen lovingly served a hotmeal.

In February, volunteer Bon-nie Sturgill and House PastorJason Bowman saw their visioncome reality as they openedtheir weekly soup kitchen.

The first night eight guestsand 30 volunteers came out.Since then, the soup kitchen hasserved 2,927 meals. The desireto feed people has always beenwith Sturgill, who owns theFrom Scratch Restaurant andCatering in Bethel. While Stur-gill no longer operates the res-taurant, shemanages a thrivingcatering business.

The idea for the soupkitchenat the churchhad its beginningsatahospitalbedside in late2013.Bowman was visiting Sturgill’shusband, George. He had suf-fered his sixth stroke in one

year.While talkingwith thepas-tor, Sturgill decided to open up.

“I told him, letme sharewithyou my heart’s desire. I want tofeed the hungry,” Sturgill re-called. “‘That’swhat Iwant todotoo, Bonnie,’ he told me.”

Gazing at the diners broughttogether for food and fellow-ship on a recent Wednesdaynight, Pastor Bowman remem-bered that conversation.

“I thinkthis iswhatbothofusenvisioned,” he said. Tears fillSturgill’s eyes as she takes inthe view. Bigger and greaterthings are coming, they noted.In December, the church start-edaclothes closet.Manypeopledonate their gently wornclothes to other groups and or-ganizations that in turn sell theclothingforasmallprice tohelpfund other good works.

“Some people don’t have the$1.50 togive (forclothes),”Bow-man said. The Solid RockChurchclothes closet is forpeo-ple who are really in need.

The soupkitchen ismore of afellowship, Sturgill said.

“We don’t focus as much onthe need but the fellowship. Wefeed them. We love on them,”she said.

While it’s a soup kitchen,meals can range from spaghettidinner, to roasted pork loin tosoup. On Dec. 3 the meal was abaked potato bar which includ-ed toppings and soup. Every-thing was donated. The potatodonation was so large that pota-to soup was slated for the Dec.10 meal along with chicken al-

“Sharing the story of find-ing a house in Nicaragua hasbeen really beneficial for therental of our home,” said Nat-alieHastings,who is a self-em-

ployed communications con-sultant. “The new show, Over-seas and Underpriced, revealsmore about howbuying avaca-tion home overseas can be agood investment for your fi-nances and your family life.”

gone well, but when theytold us this new formatwould enable us to pro-mote the fact that ourhouse rents, we werethrilled! On “HouseHunt-ers International,” thatwasn’t a factor we coulddiscuss at length.Also,weare trying to keep thispart of Nicaragua on themap as the attention iswell deserved!”

The Hastings familycontacted HGTV in late2012 when they begantheir search for a beachhouse on the Pacific coastof Nicaragua, to use as avacationhomeandasa fu-ture retirement home.

“We were looking for a

beach house with an au-thentic feel where wecould be part of the localcommunity, not locked ina gated community,” JeffHastings, a vice presidentin risk management atFifth Third Bank, said.“We also wanted a homethat would provide rentalincome to pay for themaintenance of an over-seas vacation home,which can be very costly,especially on the beach.”

“The beaches outsideofLeon,Nicaragua, on thePacific Coast are beauti-ful and relatively unde-veloped,” Natalie Has-tings said. “And the near-by city of Leon is a scenicSpanish colonial city withtwo UNESCO world heri-tagesites.Wealso love thepeople, the culture andthe food.”

The Hastings familylives in the GeorgetownVillage neighborhood ofAnderson Township. Col-in, now 8, attends second-grade at Mercer Elemen-tary and Graham, 5, at-tends Cincinnati EarlyLearning Centers at Ri-verview East Academy.

“Many people ask us,‘Why Nicaragua?’” JeffHastings said. “More thaneightyearsagowereadanarticle about it in the NewYork Times and were in-trigued and traveledthereasacouple.Oncewebegan taking our familywith us, we wanted tomake it part of our livespermanently. We love thepeople of Nicaragua andthe authentic cultural ex-perience you can getthere. It’s also safe, af-fordable and beautiful.”

no government funding.The church provides amodest budget and therest is strictly from dona-tions. Thanks to the dona-tions, soup kitchen dinersnot only get a meal butthey can also go homewith a selection of grocer-ies. WalMart providesfresh produce. Servatii,Big Apple Bagel, Every-thing Bagel and DunkinDonuts provide day oldbaked goods. For DonnaLewis of Union Townshipthe groceries make a bigdifference in her nutri-tion.

“They send us homeevery week with food,”she said. Thegroceries in-clude fresh vegetablesand fruit, something Lew-is can’t afford on the $18she receives in foodstamps.Asoneof the soupkitchen’s first customers,Lewis’ health has im-proved since Februaryand she attributes that tothe good, nutritious foodshe takes home.

Donations are alsomade by the kitchen’s vol-unteers. Often they pro-vide the ingredients need-ed for the evening’s meal,Sturgill said. Overall, do-nations have been so gen-erous that the church is inneedofawalk-in refriger-ator and freezer to store

the goods which it alsoshares with other localministries.

“God is opening updoors for us,” Sturgillsaid.This is just thebegin-ning. Both she and Bow-man envision setting upbooths once a monthwhere the church pro-vides food,clothes, jobop-portunities and spiritualguidance.

“We just want to helpall the way around,” Stur-gill added. In addition to

When Sycamore Town-ship’sAmyTagiofdecidedto pursue a long-time in-terest in taking horse les-sons, she had no idea thatshewouldfindavolunteeropportunity that wouldbring her such joy.

In 2010 Tagiof signedup for horseback ridinglessons at the WintonWoods Riding Center.

“It’s something I al-ways wanted to do,” saidthe mom of a 17-year-oldIndian Hill High Schoolstudent. Soon she wantedto be more involved withthe barn and the horses.That’s when she became aGreat Parks of HamiltonCounty volunteer. In thiscapacity, she enthusiasti-callyembraced theoppor-tunity to care for thehors-es which involved every-thing from mucking thestalls and cleaning tack todeliveringhayto thefield.

“Volunteering there isa free horse education,”she said. “If you want tolearn more about horses,you have to be aroundthem. Then you get toknow their personalities.

Tagiof’s involvementwith the stable continuedto grow. She became acontributor to the parkmagazine Grapevine,writing on topics such aswhy the horses are “bare-foot” instead of shod, andthe health benefits ofhorses. She also became a

member of the center’svolunteer committee. Thecommittee talks aboutneeds for the SpecialOlympics program andthe Special Riders pro-gram.

Both programs are foradults and children withspecial needs.TheSpecialRiders program is thera-peutic providing studentswith an opportunity to en-gage with their volun-teers, their horse, to be in

theoutdoors,andtohaveaphysical activity, WintonWoods Riding Centermanager Rachel Neu-mann said.

There are 73 people onthewaiting list to be in theSpecial Riders program,Tagiof said.WintonWoodshas the horses and facili-ties to accommodate theadditional riders. What itlacks is the volunteers.Three volunteers areneeded for each rider.Two serve as spotters, oneon each side of the horse,and the third guides thehorse.

No experience is need-ed. The barn provides thetraining.

“My rider is Katie. Shelaughs and has a goodtime. It’s great to see thejoy.” And every rider’s fa-vorite thing to do is trot –once they are ready.“That’s always the favor-ite part. It’s bouncy andfun.”

The list of new restau-rants continues to expandin Anderson Township asDewey’s Pizza is slated toopen next summer.

Dewey’s Chief Operat-ing Officer Chuck Lippsaid that Dewey’s hasbeen looking for an oppor-tunity toopenarestaurantin Anderson Township forthe past six to eight years.

“Wehaveatremendousfollowing over there,” hesaid.

The Anderson Dewey’swill be the anchor restau-

rant inanewdevelopmentslated for constructionalong Beechmont Avenueat Witt Road.

“This was a very goodopportunity for us to be inthe right place,” Lipp said.

LouAnnDowney ofAn-derson Township saidshe’s excited about Dew-ey’s and anxious to seemore choices of non-fastfood places to dine likeDewey’s and the recentlyopened Arthur’s Cafe.

“IwasatArthur’s todayandwas so excited to see arestaurant full of employ-ees who are happy to seeyou there,” she said. “I

told our waitress that thismust be a really friendlyplace to work. Sheagreed.”

There seems likethere’s a lot of activityalong Beechmont Avenuein regards to new busi-nesses thisyear,but reallythe level of new permitsbeing issued is about thesame, according toAnder-son Township’s Directorof Planning and ZoningPaul Drury.

In addition to Arthur’sCafé, 8221 BeechmontAve., the former Ander-son Bar & Grill, 8060Beechmont Ave., recently

reopened as the AndersonPub and Grill. Jet’s Pizzarecently opened at 8190Beechmont Ave. HotHead Burritos is in thebuilding permit processand looking to locate at7753 Beechmont Ave. Forthose with a sweet tooth,Krispy Kreme Donuts isalso in the building permitprocessandplanningto lo-cate at 7825 Beechmont,thesiteof theoldTacoBelllocation.

The Anderson Dewey’swill make the ninth loca-tion in the Cincinnati areafor the restaurant andwillhave a neighborhood feel

much like the Oakley,West Chester Townshipand Crestview Ky., loca-tions, Lipp said.

In addition to the Cin-cinnati area, Dewey’s canalso be found in Dayton,

Columbus, Cleveland andSt. Louis.

The Goddard School

» The Goddard School inAnderson Township beganplanning a school renovationand expansion early this year.

When complete in thespring, their new two-plusacre campus for early child-hood education will include: arenovated main educationalbuilding, new preschool, preKand kindergarten classrooms,additional infant classrooms,dedicated learning area for be-fore and after schoolers, larg-er kitchen and faculty re-source room, three play-grounds, gardening learningcenter, an outdoor classroomand a gym.

Their school-aged summercamp will continue to be heldat neighboring Comboni Mis-sionaries.

The design of the 6,200square foot expansion in-volved input from teachers,parents, architects, develop-ers and Goddard Systems Inc.

“We’ve outgrown our spaceandcannot serveall of the fam-ilies that want to enroll,” own-er Mark Reinhart said.

“The new classroom spacewill allow us more opportuni-ties to individualize our curri-culum, to change the daily en-vironment to stimulate thesenses, and add a designated,well equipped space for dramaand indoor large motor devel-opment,” educational directorAmy Blankenship said.

» Goddard School Kinder-gartners took time away fromthe classroom to practice citi-zenship and trick-or-treatedwith retirees at the SEM Man-or Retirement Community.

Students look forward to thetrip to the SEM Manor eachyear. Retirees enjoy seeing thecostumes and students walk-ing the halls.

It’s an opportunity for stu-dents to get out of the class-room and learn from others ina spirit of mutual respect andopen dialogue.

Guardian Angels SchoolAustin Ramey, a sixth grader at Guardian Angels School,

recently brought in a Monarch butterfly caterpillar.The students watched the caterpillar form a beautiful

green chrysalis trimmed with shiny gold specks.Students returned to class one Monday to find a Monarch

butterfly emerged over the weekend.John Piehowicz, another sixth grade student, brought in

special butterfly tags, allowing theclass to tag thewingof theMonarch.

The butterfly was released on the playground one after-noon so it may begin its 2000 mile migration to Mexico. Thetag contains a special tracking number and a phone number.

If someone finds the butterfly they are encouraged to callthe phone number and give information about where it is onits journey so the students can learn more about the butter-fly’s migration.

Todaymy kitchen hasthe haunting fragrance ofvanilla. I’mmaking vanil-la extracts for gift giving.

I think oneof the nic-est, andreallyeasiest,gifts fromthe kitchenis home-made va-nilla ex-tract.When Imentionedthis in a

recent column, so manyof you asked about it thatI wanted to share a de-tailed recipe early in theseason.

Kind of beansUse high quality vanil-

la beans/pods that bendeasily. The beans areactually the seed pod of amember of the orchidfamily and are harvestedby hand; thus the reasonfor the cost. If they’rehard, don’t use them tomake vanilla extract, butchop them up and sub-merge in some granulat-ed sugar or salt to flavorthose. Vanilla made withBourbon/Madagascarbeans has the classic,robust flavor that is typi-cally associated withvanilla. Tahitian beansare not as strong, morefruity and floral, whileMexican beans tend to besmooth flavored with ahint of spiciness.

Preparing beansI pound them flat and

then split them length-wise in half or shorter tofit the jar. You’ll see tinyblack vanilla seeds.

Alcohol variations

Vodka has the mostneutral flavor, but youcan use bourbon, brandy,or rum. I like to give atrio for gifts. A good 40%(80 proof) alcohol forvodka will work fine.Vanilla extracts that youbuy usually contain 35percent or 70 proof alco-hol.

InfusingDepending upon the

method, infusing flavorcan take anywhere froma week to a fewmonths.I’m giving two recipeshere - one that is a quickinfuse that’s ready in aweek or so and one thattakes at least a month orup to several months. Ifgiving this as a gift be-fore infusion is done, letrecipient know. It’s fun towatch flavor develop.You’ll know infusion iscomplete by color (any-where from goldenbrown to dark) and espe-cially, aroma. The flavorwill becomemore com-plex over time.

Storing vanillaCool, dry place (not

the frig) where it shouldlast indefinitely. Storeunused beans in freezer.

Hot infuse methodfor vanilla extract

Adapted from Cook’sIllustrated DIY book.

3/4 cup vodka2 vanilla beans,

pounded flat and splitas mentioned above.Place in a one cup con-tainer. I like glass.

Carefully and slowly,heat vodka in largesaucepan on low just

until hot. Be careful,don’t cover or use highheat as fumes could catchfire. Pour over beans,submerging them. Cool toroom temperature, un-covered. Seal and store atroom temperature for aweek, shaking every day.Strain or not.

Rita’s roomtemperature infusemethod

Takes more beans anda longer time, and theflavor is amazing.

4 vanilla beans,pounded flat and splitas mentioned above.

8 oz. vodka or otheralcohol

Place beans in jar.Pour alcohol of choiceover. Beans must be sub-merged. Cover, shake andlet infuse at room tem-perature a month at leastor longer, shaking everyfew days or so. Strain ifdesired.

Tip from Rita’skitchen: don’t tossout the beans

Vanilla salt or sugar. Ifyou strain vanilla, beansare still flavorful enoughto use in salt or sugar.Dry and submerge in

about a cup of salt orsugar. Cover until flavordevelops.

Vanilla, orange andmint extracts:

Readers want toknow: What is acomal?

A reader was passinga gourmet kitchen storeand saw what looked likea heavy crepe pan in thewindow. The sign said“comal.” “What is it usedfor?” he asked. It’s pro-nounced koh-MAHL and

is a very shallow round oroblong flat griddle withlow curved sides, madeof cast iron or steel. UsedinMexican and LatinAmerican cooking fortortillas and toastingchilies, spices and veg-gies. I like the cast ironversion since it’s one thatcan be passed down andgets better the more youuse it.

A publication of

Mywife and I have beenresidents of Anderson Town-ship for more than 24 years.We raised two sons here whoboth attended Forest Hillsschools.

Even though our childrenare grown, we still care aboutthe quality of public educationin our community. That’s why Isupport the repeal and replace-ment of Common Core educa-tion standards in Ohio.

It was a widely-held viewthat our pre-2009 Ohio educa-tion standards weren’t rigorousenough, so a move to new stan-dards seemed to make sense.When Ohio was approached bythe U.S. Department of Educa-tion in 2009-2010 and offered“Race-to-the-Top” funds, ourstate signed up for the new,national Common Core stan-

dards eventhough theyhadn’t beencompleted yet.It was as-sumed thenational de-signers woulddo a good job.Besides, Ohiowas desperatefor the money.

Some schooladministrators now defendCommon Core by saying itwould be confusing to switch toanother set of standards. Theywant us to pour more moneyinto Common Core.

This is not a good invest-ment. Here’s why:

1, Common Core standardsare not based on sufficientresearch and include concepts

that are not developmentally-appropriate.

2, Common Core standardshave never been tested orproven anywhere.

3, Common Core standardsare not competitive globally.The only English/language artsexpert and the only mathemati-cian on the Validation Commit-tee both refused to sign off onCommon Core standards be-cause they weren’t rigorousenough. There were somestates that had competitivestandards before CommonCore (most notably, Massachu-setts), but even those statestraded in their high-qualitystandards for the lower qualityCommon Core standards inorder to receive federal money.

4, The Common Core designteam didn’t have experience in

developing standards. No oneon the design team had devel-oped state standards before,and no K-12 teachers wereincluded on this team.

5, Common Core standardsare copyrighted and can’t bechanged. Even where the stan-dards are weak or flawed, thestate of Ohio and our schooldistrict don’t have the freedomto change them.

6, Teacher support for Com-mon Core is plummeting. In anational survey, teacher ap-proval for Common Coredropped from 76 percent to 46percent in just one year.

7, Common Core compro-mises the privacy of individualstudent data. Due to CommonCore, our school children’sprivate Personally IdentifiableInformation will be sent, with-

out parental approval, outsideof Ohio to the U.S. Departmentof Education which can thenshare it with any agency orcompany as it so chooses.

For all of these reasons,Ohio should repeal and replaceCommon Core. There’s a bill inthe Ohio House of Representa-tives, Sub. HB 597, to repealCommon Core standards andreplace themwith the provenand globally-competitivepre-2009Massachusetts statestandards.

If you share my concerns,please contact your electedrepresentatives to ask them tosupport Sub. HB 597 for therepeal and replacement ofCommon Core.

Repeal and replace Common Core

BrettLebarCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

LaRosa’s Family Pizzeriais dedicated to supporting thecommunity-at-large by help-ing our neighbors in need.The holiday season remindsus to reflect on our blessings,while also recognizing and

assistingfriends andmembers ofour commu-nity facingchallengingtimes.

We aredrawn toimprove theharsh reali-ties of hun-ger and foodinsecurity

facing members of our com-munity. This continues to be amajor issue in the GreaterCincinnati area, and the de-mands are growing. In Great-er Cincinnati, the Feed Amer-ica’s Map the Meal Gap foundthat this uncertainty affects289,940 people, including100,000 children.

The unemployment ratehas dropped over the pastyear, but the improvementfails to generate the neces-sary awareness of the grimreality affecting millions ofindividuals – hunger. Over 2million individuals in Ohio,almost 20 percent of the pop-ulation, are classified as foodinsecure. However, one-thirdof the hungry population doesnot qualify for federal nutri-tion programs, instead hav-ing to rely on social serviceagencies.

Financial stress is crip-pling families locally, and notjust the unemployed. Thereare many individuals work-ing that are still struggling tomake ends meet. The strainshave caused people to changetheir lifestyles, borrowmon-ey from friends and family,and even move in with othersto get back on their feet.

For those individualsstruggling to make it day-by-day, social service agencieslike the Freestore Foodbankare beacons of hope. Theseorganizations are hands-oncommunity advocates, spend-

ing time with their visitorsand neighbors, getting toknow them, and determiningthe best way to help. Whetherproviding food, clothing, jobtraining, health care, housing,money management classes,or transportation, these agen-cies tirelessly work for thosein need.

I visit our pizzerias fromBoudinot to Clifton, HydePark to Fairfield; meetingwith guests to hear abouttheir families and interests,their joys and successes, andtheir challenges and hard-ships. We pride ourselves onbeing a support system.

This holiday season, LaRo-sa’s is proud to once againsupport the Freestore Food-bank of Cincinnati to fighthunger in our community.Beginning the day afterThanksgiving, each of ourpizzerias began selling Bud-dy Cards (our 2 for 1 pizzadiscount card) for the benefitof the Freestore Foodbank.

Dec. 3 questionThe Ohio Senate has passed a

bill which would mandate that apolice officer be present at anyintersection or place where redlight cameras and traffic controlcameras are used. Is this goodlegislation? Why or why not?

“Mandating a police officerbe present where red light orspeeding cameras are usedsure feels like good legislationto me. I don’t want to comeacross as anti-police, I am not,however, if law enforcementis wanting to accuse me of atraffic crime, charge me alarge fine plus court costs andnegatively impact my insur-ance classification, then Ifully expect them to do theactual work in person. Mostpeople obey traffic laws mostof the time, but if one if half asecond too late gettingthrough a yellow light or going5 mph over the posted speedlimit, is it right to have a ma-chine auto-arrest that person?I think not. Good job Ohiolegislature.”

M.J.F.

“Wow! Here I thought thecameras were to eliminateneeding a salaried police offi-cer sitting, doing almost noth-ing, for hours on end, to catch

the one or two scofflaws thatwere oblivious to the policepresence. I really liked itwhen a patrol car used to sit infront of my house to catch thenumerous stop sign ignoringmotorists in our neighbor-hood. The number of childrenin the area made this an under-standable situation. However,I recognized that there werefar more important areas thatcould use the eyes and ears ofsomeone trained in law en-forcement. The drug and van-dalism problems presentenough work for many moreuniforms than we can afford.We have had some daytimeburglaries that have shockedus. They didn’t occur near astoplight. If we really believethat the cameras are an in-

vasion of privacy or inaccu-rate in court, then, they shouldbe eliminated, but if we wantan economical means of sur-veillance, a patrol sitting in acar is not the answer.”

D.B.

Nov. 26 questionIf the Republican-controlled

Senate which takes office inJanuary passes a bill green-lighting the Keystone XL pipe-line, should the president signthe bill or veto it? Why?

“With the Republican ma-jority finally in both houses ofCongress I am hoping a lot ofaction starts taking place. Oneaction should be the KeystonePipeline. This pipeline willbring oil from Canada to refin-eries in Illinois and Texas.There are environmental im-pacts as there were for theTrans Alaskan Pipeline. Justlike the Alaskan Pipeline thebenefits outweigh the impacts.I suspect that if Obama vetoesit Congress can override hisincompetence with a two-thirds majority vote. Congresscan then move on to dumpingthe Obamacare fiasco. GoFigure!”

Family gatherings are oneof the great joys of the holi-days. When people with smallcome to visit, be sure that yourhouse is ready and safe forthem! For instance:

» Avoid using tablecloths orrunners that hang over theedge of the table. For a toddler,this can be a handhold whenstanding up, and could result indishes, hot food, and center-pieces crashing down.

»Don’t put nuts, candy, orother small items on low ta-bles. Even small knickknackscan be a choking hazard. Therule of thumb is that anythingsmaller than a golf ball shouldbe kept out of reach of smallchildren.

»Keep bathroom doorsclosed at all times.

» Purses and handbagsshould be hung on hooks,

placed in clos-ets, or set outof reach. Smallchildren quick-ly learn thatthere may begoodies in apurse, and arelikely to ex-plore and tastewhatever thepurse holds.

» If you usecandles, keep them safely outof reach of small children.

» Immediately dispose ofplastic wrap and any smallpacking parts that may comewith toys and other gifts.

» Breakable ornamentsshould be placed higher on theChristmas tree.

» If moving the child’s carseat into a different car, makesure that it’s properly installed.

Homes that regularly wel-come small children should bebabyproofed, but for a briefvisit adults can use the “tag-team” method—ensuring thatone adult is always keeping aneye on small children. In par-ticular, watch for sharp cor-ners on furniture, closet doorsthat can pinch, and decorationsthat may have small parts.

This time of year is a spe-cial one for children – and forfamilies with children. Com-mon sense and a little planningcan make sure that all of yourchild’s holiday memories aregood ones.

ANDERSON TWP — HeadcoachEdBachman and theAn-derson Redskins are optimis-tic about the season with a fewreturning swimmers on theboys’ andgirls’ team thatmadewaves in the state meet lastyear.

Most notable of the Red-skins’ returnees is junior Has-sler Carroll. He won state inthe 500 freestyle and accord-ing toBachman, is themost tal-ented swimmer Anderson hasseen in a long time.

“He has improved so muchover the summer, it‘s not evenfunny,” Bachman said.

Other swimmers that couldcontribute include sophomoreNicholas Haller and PatrickJohnson. Bachman said hefully anticipates Haller beingable to score in the breast-stroke at the statemeet. As forJohnson, he was part of the re-lay that qualified for state.

“He could get there as an in-dividual, itwill be tough, buthecould do it,” the coach said.

As for the girls’ team, hesaid the team is trending up-ward and should continue toimprove. Bachman expects tosee contributions from Maris-sa Martin, Megan Forsthoefel,Andrea Lupariello, Kellie De-fosse and Julia Baldasare.

Martin scored in the 500free, Forsthoefel qualifed forthe state meet in relays andcould do the 200 IM. Luparielloand Defosse will be fightingfor relay spots for the statemeet.

Bachman also mentionedsenior diver Evan Leupen.

“He just missed state lastyear and holds the team rec-ord,” Bachman said. “He winsevery event and is one of thetop divers in the city.”

McNicholas will be one ofthe smaller teams in the citywith 10 total swimmers. But,head coach Tessa Lengerichsaid it’s about quality insteadof quantity.

On the boys’ side, the Rock-ets feature junior Rick Riede,who got into organized swim-ming as a freshman. Once hegot into it, he started swim-ming with the Mercy Health-plex club team.

“He’s never had a bad day inthe pool,” Lengerich said. “Iexpect him to keep droppinghis times.”

She is also looking for bigthings from freshman NickRosenbaum, who swims withMilford Area Swim Team. Heis aversatile swimmer that canswim the IMormiddle distanc-es.

Junior Shelby Miller, a two-year state qualifier in the 500free and a 2014 qualifier in the200 free, will handle most ofthe leadership duties for theRockets’ girls’ team whichdoesn’t have a senior.

The Rockets will also getcontributions from sophomoreSkye Lewis and freshman Nat-alie Martinez, who also swimsfor MAST.

Lengerich said Lewis willswim the breaststroke andshould challenge the schoolrecord in the100. As forMarti-nez, the coach said she shouldbe a strong asset in the team’srelay.

Turpin information was un-available by print deadline.Look for updated text on cin-cinnati.com.

The St. Ursula Bulldogs arefeeling good entering this newseason as all their state qualifi-ers return from last season.

“We are very optimisticabout this season,” 10th-yearhead coach Ann Gartner said.“All five of our state qualifiersreturn from last season andwe

have a promising group offreshmen and sophomores andcould get some big seasonsfrom them.”

The Bulldogs have 41 mem-bers on this year’s roster andGartner said her three seniorcaptains Marissa DelGado,AbbyEngelhardt andClarePe-razzo have done a great job ofgetting the girls unified as faras goals are concerned. Be-yond finishing as high as theteam can in the Girls GreaterCatholic League, district andstate meets, Gartner said ev-eryone on the team can con-tribute.

“Our goal is for every per-son to achieve success and thatcanbedetermined inmanydif-ferent ways,” she said. “Someof our girls don’t swim year-round with club teams, butthey can contribute an equalamount.”

DelGado finished fifth atstate in the 100 butterfly andsixth in the 200 IM last year.Junior Molly Zilch returns toswim in the 200, 500 free andaspart of 200 and 400 freestylerelays. Senior Katie Kerr re-turns to swim the 200, 500 andas a part of relays.

Alexandra Wall was a statequalifier in the 100 back andwill swim in relays. Sopho-more Carly Dunseath will alsoswim in relays this season.

“This is an outstandinggroup of youngwomen thatmydaughter (assistant coach ErinGartner) and I get to coach,”Ann said. “We’re very fortu-nate.”

Summit Country Day is ex-citedabout its team’snumbers.The Silver Knights have morethan doubled their numbersfrom last year. Therewill be 21girls on this year’s team, upfrom 12 last year, and eightboys, up from two.

“We’re excited to be morecompetitive and filling everyevent on thesheet,” headcoachSusan Maxwell said. “We havea strong freshmen class and agoodmix of sophomores all theway to seniors.”

Summit will look to JulianaOverbey, Hannah Fassler, Alli-son Kinross and MaddieAmend, who was an individualstate qualifier last year. Theswimmers in that group justmissed the cut to qualify forstate last year, but Maxwelllooking for them to make thatcut this season.

The Silver Knights will alsofeature freshmen Avery Wal-ter and Cate Marx

“I‘m expecting big thingsfrom them,” Maxwell said.

On the boys’ side, Maxwellcan expect a big season fromfreshman Garrison Herfel. Heswimswithaclub teamandshesaid he has been successful inevery race he swims.

“He has a goal of breakingevery individual Summit rec-ord,” she said. “With his timesright now, he’s nearly there.”

Last season went swim-mingly for three easternHam-iltonCounty schools, includingWalnut Hills who won theirfirst league championship inthe pool in 25 years.

Winning in the water has al-ways been the norm for St. Xa-vier. The Bombers have won35 state team titles and thisseason they’ll be looking fortheir seventh Division I state

Despite the efforts ofauto manufacturers andthe government, Carfax-.com estimates theremay be more than 1mil-lion used cars for salethat have been recalled,but never repaired.

Many of these vehi-cles can pose an extremesafety hazard, but thebuyer may never find outabout the problem untilit’s too late. A used carcan look good, even drivegreat, but have hiddendefects that can put aperson’s or family’s lifeat risk.

That’s what happenedto Adam Buddenberg, ofLawrenceburg, after hebought a 2001 Isuzu Ro-deo SUV. Buddenbergsays, “It looked good, itdrove good and that’s allI thought at the time.” Hepaid $6,000 for the vehi-cle and thought every-thing was fine until threemonths later when, whileriding with his mother,they heard a big bangand managed to pullsafely to the side of theroad.

Adam’s mother, Kathy,said, “It was actuallybroken, the bracket un-derneath the frame wasbroken.”

They checked theinternet and learnedmore than 11,000 IsuzuSUVs had been recalledtwo years before – in-cluding his. But Adam’svehicle had never beenrepaired.

The Buddenbergslearned corrosion hadcaused the suspensionbracket to break fromthe frame thus affectinghandling and increasingthe risk of a crash. Ad-am’s father, Bobby, says,“To think my son, mywife, my grandson couldhave been hurt and pos-sibly killed in this andnobody wants to be re-sponsible for it. It’s justupsetting to me.”

Un-fortunate-ly, no oneis respon-sible be-causeAdambought theSUV “ASIS” so thedealer whosold itstated in

writing he assumes noresponsibility for anydefects.

I’ve always advised toget a used vehiclechecked out first by anASE Certified Mechanicbefore any purchase soyou know exactly what’swrong. \

Bobby says, “When wedid take it off the lot totest drive it, the dealerwanted it back in 15 mi-nutes—that was all hewas going to give us…So,evidently, he didn’t wantus to have anybody checkit out.”

The dealer wrote meto say the Buddenbergsnever asked if they couldget it checked out by amechanic prior to pur-chase and said he wouldhave permitted it asked.Of course, if a dealerwon’t let you get a vehi-cle checked out prior to

purchase, that’s a redflag and you should lookelsewhere.

Under the law, be-cause Buddenberg’svehicle is more than 10years old Isuzu doesn’thave to fix it, but it of-fered to buy it back.

I checked with a lot ofused car dealers andwhile some say they docheck for unrepairedrecalls, clearly not every-one does.

But a new federal lawmakes it much easier foreverybody to check out aparticular vehicle priorto purchase.

You can now type inthe VIN or Vehicle Iden-tification Number onlineat the National HighwayTraffic Safety Admini-stration website. Here’sthe link: www.nhtsa.gov/Vehicle+Safety/Recalls+&+Defects. It will tellyou if that type of vehiclehas been recalled andwhether that particularvehicle has been re-paired.

RELIGION

Hyde Park residentsRobert (Bob) Buechner,an attorney and author,and Dick Adams, a re-tired P&G executive,have co-foundedChampi-ons for Urban Youth, anarm of the not for profitCincinnati YouthCollabo-rative, to connect matureadults in our communitywith public school stu-dents.

They believe thatthrough Champions forUrban Youth, “Our entirecommunity will be en-riched by the sharing ofexperiences and valuescaused by bringing peo-ple together who comefrom different culturaland economic back-grounds to generate win-win situations. The im-portant point of this con-cept is to provide individ-uals in our communitythe opportunity to con-nect with schools in waysthat they will feel will beof most interest to them.Then the volunteers andthestudentswill benefit.”

Bob Buechner has

raised the bar for all of usas he puts forth a compel-ling call-to-actionthrough his new book,“My Winning Season: Be-coming a Champion forUrban Youth.”

Buechner and Adamshope that through Bob’snew book, the concept ofChampions for UrbanYouth will gain sometraction.

“With so many differ-entopportunities for indi-viduals to volunteer inour public schools andother urban institutions,it only makes sense thatthere be an organizationactive in the actualrecruitment of individ-uals with both time andinterest inmatching theirskills with the needs ofthe community.”
