Agroup of students fromMi-amiUniversity’s gerontologicalnursing program have spreadholiday cheer at Maple KnollVillage.

Sixteen students visit theSpringdale retirement commu-nity from Oxford twice a weekbeginning in September, to so-cialize with residents and helpstaff members to plan and fa-cilitate activities. Their last vis-it was Dec. 3.

On a recent visit, they deco-rated Christmas trees, madecrafts and hung garland in theskilled nursing wing.

“These kids are really mak-ing it feel like home aroundhere,” resident Mary Rennekersaid. “Iwishwecoulddo this ev-ery day.”

It’s apilot for a service learn-ing program designed for non-medical training, to enable stu-dents to see the resident as awhole person, not just a patient,according toMapleKnoll publicrelations director MeganGresham.

“They choseMaple Knoll be-cause seniors often get over-looked in the hospital and arenot recognized for how aliveand vibrant they are,”Gresham

said. “The diverse amount ofservices we offer also drewthem in.”

The students receive asmuch as they give through theprogram.

“Many of these people do notget to interact with differentpeopleonadailybasis,”nursing

student VanessaKing said. “Be-ing able to visit and bring joy totheir lives means a lot.”

While shopping atCountry FreshMarket inHartwell, I experienced a

wonderfulway tobeginanotheryear.

It wasan in-troductionto AnnaEpaves, aWyomingHighSchoolsenior. An

impressive young lady,Anna’s lovely personalitybelies her youth. So poisedand easy to talk with,Anna is one of our teenswho will put your mind torest about the leaders oftomorrow.

Her family moved toWyoming from Indianawhen she was in thefourth-grade. Since then,she has grown very com-fortable in the community.Graduation will be bitter-sweet. As with many sen-iors, Anna is somewhatapprehensive to leave herfriends and the content-ment of the world she hasenjoyed for so long.

She said if there wasone thing she couldchange about herself itwould be to have moreself-confidence aboutwhat she can really ac-complish. Her mom haswisely assured her thisfeeling will pass. If memo-

ry serves, the notion ofindependence and endlesspossibilities sounds goodwhen one is in a struc-tured environment andanxious to break out of it,but actually facing theoutside world can be adaunting prospect.

Anna needn’t worry;she stands at the brink ofa very bright future. Shehas applied to NorthernKentucky University,Ohio University and theUniversity of Cincinnati,planning to major in ge-rontological nursing. It’s abig word that covers a lotof territory, and there is acritical need for nurseswith the skill and compas-sion for elder care.Through personal experi-ence I know that this fieldis not for everyone. How-ever, Anna has a closerelationship with hergrandparents and experi-ence helping the elderly.She strikes me as a per-fect candidate.

Anna enjoys being ableto walk everywhere inWyoming, and their shopsthat remind her of an oldworld setting. When ques-tioned about her use of theterm “old world,” she saidthat history intrigues her.The world history class inher sophomore yeartaught her about the Holo-caust, so it was enlighten-ing to visit the HolocaustMuseum inWashington,D.C., during her senior

trip.When your last name is

“Epaves,” it is natural forpeople to ask about itsorigin, and I did. Annatold me it is from theFrench meaning “ship-wreck” and few can pro-nounce it. Classmatesactually nicknamed hershipwreck when she firstmoved here, but no onestill calls her that.

Anna’s brother, Joseph,is a high school freshmanat Wyoming and she hastwo cats. Her mom let herkeep the newest one thatshe got from a friend over

the summer. Since the catis so small with little spotson its tummy, the name“Little Bit” is a perfect fit.

Athletic, Anna swimsand played soccer untilthe sixth- or seventh-grade, enjoys running andwas on the track team as afreshman. However, shehas been working afterschool and on weekends atCountry Fresh since hersophomore year, so she nolonger has the time. Forfun, Anna likes makingcolorful yarn braceletsand watching basketballgames. As a matter of

fact, she has been to acouple of Miami Heatgames.

The light blue of thesky is Anna’s favoritecolor, and that is appropri-ate for this young ladybecause I truly believethere are blue skies in herfuture.

KENWOOD — Not manyhigh school basketballcoaches will rave over afifth-place finish ina tour-nament.

Moeller’s post-Christ-mas trip to the BeachBallClassic in Myrtle Beachreceived five starts incoach Carl Kremer’s un-official roundball travelguide.

“Of all the years we’vebeen going to tourna-ments, it’s the best orga-nized,” Kremer said. “It’sbig time how they treatyouandhow theydo it andthecrowdsarehuge.Theyget all the townspeopleout.”

Moeller’s annual bas-ketball trip is paid forthrough team fundraisingand has become a tradi-tional primer for theroughandtumbleGreaterCatholic League that be-gins this month.

The Crusaders cameaway with just one loss,against Providence, Fla.,60-56 on Dec. 28. Dukerecruit Grayson Allen ledProvidence with 30points, with senior GrantBenzinger topped Moell-er with 21.

“We had a heck of achance to beat them,”Kremer said. “We had adrought in the first halfand a drought in the sec-ond half scoring-wise.Other than that, we dom-inated most of the game.”

The lossgaveMoellerabest case scenario offifth-place, which theyachieved three days laterwith consecutive winsover over Franklin (Ohio)and Bullis School (Mary-land) Dec. 30-31. To startthe tournament, the Cru-saders defeated FatherHenry Carr (Canada) 55-39.

In addition to top notch

competition, Kremer wasimpressed with thecrowds along the GrandStrand.

“Mostof the time, it’s ina high school gym andthere’s 300 people,”Kremer said. “The nightwe played Providence atthe convention center, I’mgoing to bet there were3,000 people there.”

While enjoying thesands of the Atlantic dur-ing the day, the Crusadersheard the typical, “Ithought you were a foot-ball school” comment. Atnight, Kremer’s gold andblue hungwith teams thatequaled or surpassedthem in height and fea-tured top talent.

A local ambassador ac-companiedall16 teams in-volved.

“I thinkfromtop tobot-tom, it’s the best run tour-nament we’ve been to,”Kremer said. “The com-munity is really into it.The team that beat us byfour beat a team fromNewYorkCity by 25.A lotof people think that ourgame against them was

the championship game.We just got a tough draw.Providence was the No. 1seed.”

Among the highlightsfor Moeller was seniorAdam Gigax finishing inthe top four of the tourna-ment three-point shootingcontest.

“Adam Gigax shootingthe ball sort of protectsour bigs,” Kremer said.“Now we have a shooteron both sides inAdamandGrant. Jack Anton alsohad a good three days.”

Kremer’s guards alsohad a successful run.

“Tre Hawkins steppedup at point guard andGrant (Benzinger) didvery, very well,” Kremersaid. “Hawkins does a lotof things that doesn’tshow up in the points-scored column. He getsthe ball and ignites ourbreak.”

The Crusaders’ wintergauntlet is now underwayas their Jan. 7 home gamewith Winton Woods is fol-lowed by their GCL-Southopener with Elder Jan. 10.

WYOMING — Withmost of their startersback, many penciled inWyoming High School’sboys basketball team asthe squad to beat in theCincinnati Hills Leaguefor 2013-14.

That still might be ac-curate.

However, second-year coach Matt Rookswas looking to regrouphis Cowboys during theholidaybreak.Agood 3-0start was met with back-to-back losses in Decem-ber to Indian Hill andLockland.

“That was a tough oneto swallow,” Rooks saidof the Indian Hill loss.“We were winning thewhole game and lost it atthe end. They had a cou-ple guys hit some shotsdown the stretch.”

Wyoming finished2013 with a 47-32 winover Cincinnati Chris-tian and Rooks is usingthe proverbial “it’s amarathon, not a sprint”philosophy.

“We have a ton ofgames coming,” Rookssaid. “It’s kind of a weirdyear. We beat Taylor andbeat Sycamore, then had

a bunch of days off be-cause of the snow. Wekind of got in a lull.”

During the lull, Wyo-ming held leads butcouldn’t finish games.Along the way, thebouncing sphere did notfortuitouslydrop into theiron cylinder.

“We’vehad someguys

struggle a little bit offen-sively that we thoughtwould help us,” Rookssaid.

Despite that, seniorAhmad Frost was theCHL’s scoring leader asthe ball dropped at mid-night to usher in 2014.Averaging more than 22points per gameat press-time, Frost bit Taylor for31 on Dec. 14.

“This is his fourthyear starting on varsity,”Rooks said. “He’s gottenstronger and he’s guard-ing people. I think he’sbecomingmoreof a com-plete player.”

He also is among theleague leaders in shoot-ing percentage and isbattling fellow sub-6-footer Mason Rogers forthe team reboundinglead. Both average morethan six boards a gameon a team stocked withtaller players.

“He’s everything Iwant out program to beabout,” Rooks said of thesophomore Rogers.“He’s such a tough kid.He plays hard and bat-tles for 32 minutes. Heguards and rebounds.He’s very athletic.”

“We play eight or nineguys and try to keep it up-tempo,” Rooks said. “Weneed some other guys tohelphim(Frost)outoffen-sively.”

Seniors Nolan Previshand Will Marty and ju-niors Walker Lewis andHudson Rogers are partof Rooks’ rotation, alongwith a promising new-comer.

“We have a freshman,Jake Edmonds, that’splaying a lot,” Rooks said.“His dad is my varsity as-sistant. He’s a coach’s sonand he knows how to play.He can shoot the ball.”

Yes, life can be boring. Wequickly develop a daily routine… a repeated pattern of time-lines, things that need to beaccomplished before the con-clusion of the day. Even morestimulating jobs, can still get tobe a customary flow of actionsnecessitated to complete dailyassignments.

For some of us life is justgoing to work, coming home towatch TV, downing a beer, andlounging on a timeworn couch.The next day...the nextday...the next day...the nextday... is much the same as yousprinkle in weekends and holi-days. And before you know it,we’re really old and only capa-ble of sitting on that worn outcouch...watching TV.

A couple of years ago my

wife decidedthat everyyear she wasgoing to learnsomethingnew. This wassort of a NewYear’s resolu-tion that reen-ergized herkindred spir-its. One year it

was learning how to downhillski...next was learning to playthe dulcimer...learning to flipoff a diving board...learning toopen water swim and thenswim across the Ohio River.

A couple of years ago, sheresearched about animal thera-py, getting certified and train-ing our two English Labradorretrievers as therapy compan-

ions. What a difference in herlife this new learning opportu-nity made to others as well.

One of the new things Idecided to learn was how tocook; I mean, just the basics.Ask my wife and she will tellyou, my cooking even afterlearning, wasn’t all that note-worthy. As she put it, “you’rejust wasting those ingredi-ents!”

I did challenge myself tolearn something new, but even-tually decided that cookingwasn’t going to be in my “top10” skills. I was motivated bythat experience to try learninghow to bake bread like momdid and what a “slam dunk”that was! Thanks to a dearfriend, who encouraged mewith a book on artisan bread

baking, I currently oven bakeall sorts of “Old Style” Euro-pean bread for my neighbors/friends.

In writing this column, Iwas amazed at all the researchbeing done on the human brain.Most of the research resultsfind that to keep the brainhealthy, working and cultivat-ing more cells, we must keep itmentally sharp. One idea Iread somewhere was to brushyour teeth with the oppositehand to challenge your brain.But, that didn’t work well thefirst time...as I lost my grip onthe brush and it flip...sendingtoothpaste all over my newre-gifted sweater!

I’m now trying brain stim-ulation crossword puzzles. Butlife is so much more with a

positive mindset of new learn-ing opportunities! Eartha Kittsays it best:

“I am learning all the time.The tombstone will be mydiploma.”

Life-long learning is tryingnew things and can’t wait todecide on a 2014 new yearchallenge...maybe rock climb-ing?

My wife’s response: “Only ifI up my life insurance policy.”

Oh well...back to brushingteeth with my left hand!

‘Teeth brushing with the opposite hand’

Wes AdamsonCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

The truth hurtsIn his Dec. 11 guest column,

“Accusations of lying are somuch junk,” Richard Schwabwrote that, “President Obamadid not lie” in regards to hispromise that if you liked yourhealth careplan, youcouldkeepit.

OnDec.12, PolitiFact, hardlyaright-leaningorganization,de-clared this to be the 2013 Lie ofthe Year.

Any future columns by Mr.Schwab should be read throughthe lens of his preposterous as-sertion that President Obamadid not lie about Americans be-ing able to keep their healthcare plans.

‘Law of the land,’ butnot for all

I have beenmeaning to com-ment onBruceHealey’s columnfrom Nov. 20, “Our crisis, ourown doing.”

Mr Healey wrote, “We are ina democracy that touts its re-spect for the law, and the gov-ernment by the people for thepeople – I thought.”

“It is a law, passed by a dulyelected government, in themanner prescribed by the ruleswe all agree on.”

Since the law has been 'duly'passed and signed into law,

hasn't the president made anumber of executive ordersthathaschangedprovisionsandrequirements of the law, theAf-fordable Care Act?

I would be very interested inMrHealey’s opinion on themat-ter of the president making allthese revisions, post enact-ment.

Jan. 1 questionShould the U.S. adopt an

advisory panel’s recommenda-tions to end the government’ssystematic collection of logs ofall Americans’ cellular phonecalls and require those to bekept in private hands “for que-ries and datamining” only bycourt order? Why or why not?

“Until I saw the ‘60 Minutes’show on the NSA and datamining I would have said yesto this question of court or-ders. The reality is if the gov-ernment has to get court or-ders, then get to all the Telcocarriers involved and then dothe data mining the horse willbe out of the barn. Grantedthere is a level of trust in-volved here. The Snowdenwhistle blowing did raise someconcerns. But the data miningis done to known suspects. 99.9percent of us are not beingmonitored. I believe the NSA isdoing this data mining to pro-tect the U.S. not to be our big

brother. Go figure!”T.D.T.

“Yes, the U.S. should prob-ably adopt the recommenda-tion, but the president has saidthere will be a decision madeabout much of this in January.In the post-911world manyparts of our freedom of speechhave been curtailed. The realquestion is howmuch freedomare we willing to sacrifice inorder to feel safer from terror-ism occurring on our soil”

JANUARY 8, 2014 • TRI-COUNTY PRESS • B3LIFE

I was flipping throughmy gourmet food maga-zines and two items keptpopping up as “newbies”for 2014. One is the herbfennel, in particularbronze fennel. I had tochuckle since I’ve grownboth green fennel, whichproduces a deliciousbulb, and also bronze,which is grown for its

leaves andseeds, foryears.

Fennelcontainsvitamin Cand potas-sium, goodfor im-mune andnervoussystems,and the

heart. In fact, I just fea-tured a fennel/garliccrust on pork roast on mycable show “Love Startsin the Kitchen.” Watch iton TimeWarner localaccess.

The other trend iskale, but not the old-fashioned curly kale likeGrandma grew. Kalevarieties are almost end-less. You’ll find lots ofrecipes, including thetwo I mention in my pizzarecipe. Kale is an easycool crop, so grow somecome spring.

I’d also like to issue aformal invitation for youto share your favoriterecipes and tips alongwith the story that goeswith them. I’m not partic-ular, so whatever you liketo cook, whether it’sfancy, plain or in be-tween is fine by me. Ifyou send along a photo,so much the better!

Whole wheat pizzawith garlic, greensand two cheeses

We grow kale, includ-ing Locinato/Tuscan/Dinoand Russian kale. Bothare milder tasting thancurly kale. Mixing kalewith Swiss chard or spin-ach tones down the tasteof kale. Greens like thesecontain nutrients essen-tial for tissue growth andrepair, and even yourpicky eaters will likethis. You can use justchard or spinach if youlike.

1pre-baked 12 oz. Boboliwhole wheat pizza shell

2-3 teaspoons finely mincedgarlic

3-4 tablespoons extra virginolive oil

Pizza sauce to coverEnough small Swiss chard orspinach and kale leaves tocover (or large leaves,chopped)

6-8 oz. Fontina cheese,shredded

3-4 oz. crumbled goatcheese

Optional: Sliced tomatoes,chives

Preheat oven to 450degrees. Stir garlic intoolive oil. Brush overcrust. Top with pizzasauce and greens, over-lapping leaves so entiresurface is covered.Sprinkle with cheeses.Slice cherry or regulartomatoes and lay on top ifyou like. Bake 10 minutesor until cheese melts.

Tips from Rita’skitchen

Substitute Gorgonzolafor goat cheese.

Priscilla Pancoast’sheirloom cornpudding

Wow – talk about lotsof requests for this! Theoriginal recipe camefrom Priscilla’s mother’scousin, who was fromNiles, Ohio. “This almosthas a cult following,” saidPriscilla. Check out myblog for more corn pud-ding recipes, includingthe famous BeaumontInn’s corn pudding, alongwith an old-fashionedversion of this treasuredside dish.

2 eggs1 stick of butter1 packageJiffy corn muffin mix

8 oz. grated cheddar8 oz. sour cream1 can yellow corn with juice,approximately 15 oz.

1 can cream-style corn,approximately 15 oz.

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Melt butter,beat eggs slightly, thenmix everything togetherand put in greased 21/2quart casserole and bakefor about 45 minutes.

Tips from readers’kitchens

Add extra flavor tobox cakes. NancyMauch, a Clermont Coun-ty reader and mom of myformer editor, LisaMauch, shares this tip:

For box cakes, substitutemilk or juice for liquidcalled for. “Adds anotherelement of flavor,” Nan-cy said.

Buying blue cheesein bulk. Dave, a loyalreader, said he found afive-pound bag of bluecheese crumbles at GFS(Gordon Food Service)for $19. He made batchesof Nell Wilson’s bluecheese dressing and waslooking for an affordableway to do it.

Tomato preserverecipe a big hit. LanaKay, a Northern Ken-tucky reader, made myaunt Margaret’s recipelast summer. “I was sur-prised howmany people

had never tasted them,”she said. Lana shared itwith an Amish vendor ata farmer’s market and Ihave no doubt it willbecome a big seller. To-mato preserves are an-other trendy, but reallyold-fashioned, condimentthat chefs will be featur-ing this year.
