dents of Wyoming.What programs and services does

the annual fund benefit?“Contributions from Wyoming resi-

dents fund all of our programs and ser-vices, including individual and familycounseling, crisis intervention, tutoring,school break. and after-school programswhere students can do their homeworkin a safe and supportive environment.These programs and services touchedthe lives ofmore than 800Wyoming chil-dren and families in the last year.”

Whyare theseprogramsvital to theWyoming community?

“Wyoming is unique in having a youthservices organization. Although thereare programs in communities across thenation that offer counseling or afterschool programs, our research to datehas found no other organizations thatprovide the full scope of services of-fered by WYS – from counseling to ser-vice learning to academic support andprevention – to meet the needs of thewhole child.

“Without WYS, sixth-grade studentswould not receive life skills education;we would have no central body for pre-vention work and community forums tohelp parents keep children safe; middleschool studentswould not be able to par-ticipate in service opportunities; therewould be no local resource for free fam-ily, individual and group counseling ontopics including parent education, sepa-ration and divorce, anxiety, social skillsandselfesteem.Studentswouldnothavethe opportunity to engage inmeaningfulprogramming after school and duringschool breaks.”

Why is the annual fund importanttoWyoming Youth Services?

“The success of the Annual Appealcampaign is vital for our organization tocontinue to be able to offer our neededprograms and services free of charge toallusers.Thedemandforouruniqueser-vices continues to grow, so the campaignneeds to grow with the demand.”

How doesWyoming Youth Servicesimpact thequalityof life inWyoming?

“The organization’s programs andservices are available when needed, toall residents of Wyoming, and alwayswithout charge. Wyoming Youth Ser-vices’ unique array of programsand ser-vices ensures that each child in our com-munity has the best opportunity to reachhis orher full potential. Fromcounselingto the children of divorcing parents, torepresenting children in the legal sys-tem, to providing volunteer and mentoropportunities, to ourAlcoholTaskForce,our organization provides the supportand assistance children and familiessometimes need to be successful. Takentogether, theseprogramsstrengthenourcommunity, making it a better place tolive.”

Wyoming Youth Services haslaunched its annual appeal campaign,which runs through the end of Decem-ber.

Residents of Wyoming are being

asked to donate, to support the organiza-tion that serves children and their fam-ilies throughout the city. It’s a collabora-tion of the city and school district, andservices are offered at no charge.

Zipping along Spring-field Pike in Wyoming, alawn full of orangeseemed to pop up at mefrom the yet green grassof Friendship UnitedMethodist Church. Mem-bers Robyn Cramer andPamela Kammwerehelping Lauren Bennettand her mom, Jennifer,

with two good lookingpumpkins to take homefor Halloween.

Lauren is a fifth-grad-er at WyomingMiddleSchool. Well, actually sheattends classes in mod-ular units while the mid-dle school undergoesrenovation. Jennifer saidthe transition to the mod-

ular units has surpassedexpectations.

Robyn and Pamelacouldn’t have picked abetter day to work theirtwo-hour shift, and theythoroughly enjoyed help-ing the children make aselection from the sea ofpumpkins that comefrom an Indian reserva-tion in NewMexico. Justas Cinderella’s fairygodmother magicallychanged a pumpkin into acoach, so these ladies andthe other volunteersbrought magic to theimaginations of youngones who envisioned ajack-o-lantern glowing onHalloween night.

This was the thirdpumpkin patch sale andit is a fundraiser forFriendship’s senior highyouth group’s missiontrip to BlackMesa, AZ,next July. Pamela andRobyn gave me CarrieShort-Lippert’s phonenumber to get all theinformation about thisproject that reflectsFriendship’s effort toprovide “A cooperativeministry and mission inthe world.”

It is one of thechurch’s many outreachconcerns such as provid-ing housing and mealsfor homeless families

thoughInter-faithHospital-ity Net-work, theValleyInter-faithFood &ClothingCenter

Christmas Giving Treeand stepping in wherevernatural disasters hit. Alot of work goes into thetrip. Carrie began mak-ing plans this past Au-gust. Large groups havegone on previous trips; 90people went four yearsago.

They are going tobuild and rehab houses,and install roofs at aNavaho reservation inBlackMesa. The triplasts 10 days. Carrie saysthat length of time isgreat for bonding andteam building. Theyleave from Chicago byAmtrak and go to Flag-staff, Arizona, then it ison to the Grand Canyon.She saw this magnificentwonder for the first timefour years ago, and allshe can say is, “Wow, itsure is aptly named!Photographs don’t do itjustice.”

Volunteers took shifts

minding the patch from11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Carriesays that parents, stu-dents and the entirechurch work on this pro-ject and enjoy it as acommunity outreach.Adults came while thekids are in school, andthe youth group managedit most of the time onweekends and afterschool. Carrie feels thisis appropriate since it istheir mission trip. She isso proud of them. Per-haps a half dozen of thefreshmen, sophomores,

juniors and seniors hadreally taken ownershipand worked very hard.Carrie treasures the factthat this endeavor buildscommunity within thechurch and throughoutWyoming.

However, theAlterKnightscameback to take a 21-7 late inthe second quarter. Wyomingscored as time expired in thefirsthalf ona flea-flicker fromjunior Duke Brunke to Martyto make it 21-14 at intermis-sion.

Fromthere,Alter scoredontwo possessions in the thirdquarter to go up 35-14. TheCowboys added a late touch-down by senior Terrell Daileyto make for the 35-21 final.

They also set records formost points in the league andsenior Will Marty broke theschool record for passingyards and touchdown passes.Marty was the league’s toppasser, Dailey was the third-best runner and Vamosi wasthe second-leading receiver.

Defensively, senior GriffinO’Gara led the CHL in sacksand junior Parker Chalmerstied for the league lead in in-terceptions.

Tommy Ruff led Alter with75 yards and two touchdownsas the Knights ran for 360yards on the night. Altermoves on to faceGermantownValley View.

Moeller/St. XavierIn a game that could’ve

filled some stadiums beyondthe capacity of Lockland Me-morial’s 6,000,Moeller startedits 2013 run in the Division Iplayoffswith a42-17 rout of St.Xavier.

After taking a 14-0 lead inthe first quarter, the Bombers

gotwithinatouchdownat21-14at the half. However, the sec-ond half belonged to Moelleras they outscored St. Xavier21-3 to win by 25.

Senior Gus Ragland wasMoeller’s top rusher with 157yards and three touchdowns.Nearly half of those yardscame on a 72-yard fourth-

quarter scamper. He also was10-13passingfor264yardsandtwo touchdowns to senior Isa-iah Gentry.

The Bombers went down14-0 early after their firstthree possessions resulted inpunts.

They finally got on theboard after Moeller quarter-back Gus Ragland’s pass wasdeflected and ended up in thehands of Bomber free safetyDavid Leisring, who returnedit to the Crusader 26-yard line.SeniorquarterbackNickTens-ing scored from 1-yard out tomake it 14-7 with 11:57 to playin the half.

After another Moellerscore, the Bombers answeredwith a 76-yard scoring drivethat resulted in a Tensing 15-yard touchdown pass to PeterGavin.

From that point on, theBomber offense went numb,as Tensing tossed three sec-ond-half interceptions.

Moeller piled up 631 totalyards, while St. X finishedwith 302.

SPRINGFIELD TWP. —Jake Westerkamp and hisSt. Xavier High Schoolwater polo teammateswere one half away fromseeing their ultimate goalcome to fruition.

The Bombers led St.Charles PreparatoryAcademy out of Colum-bus 8-6 at halftime of theOhio High School state ti-tle game, but were out-scored 11-5 in the secondhalf en route to a17-13 lossOct. 26 at Mason HighSchool.

Despite the loss, coachMike Roberts isn’t focus-ing on what the Bombersdidn’t accomplish; hewants everyone to knowwhat his guys accom-plished in just three yearssinceestablishing thepro-gram.

“All we had this yearwas positives,” Robertssaid. “… We beat everyteam in the state. We beatthe team that won lastyear, we beat the teamthat won this year andthat’s nothing but up forus. This is like the firstrung of the ladder.”

Roberts believes if itweren’t for Westerkamp,there wouldn’t even be aladder to climb. As a “lit-tle skinny” sophomore,Westerkamp of Lovelandstarted the first water po-lo match in St. X historyand has started the 90-plus games since.

“If he didn’t come outor chose to go to a differ-ent high school, I’m notsure we could have car-ried the program throughsome bumps in the road,”Roberts said of his seniorcaptain. “He’s just beentremendous.”

Westerkamp ended hiscareer in style despite notbringing home a state ti-tle. He scored eight of theBombers’ 13 goals againstthe Cardinals to earn him-self a 2013 Ohio state All-Tournament team honor.

“Jake is like a coach’sdream,” Roberts said.“He’s akid that’snotphys-ically imposing, he’s notexceptionally strong, he’snot exceptionally fast, buthe’s very aware. He playsas a good teammate. He’ssmart, he’s wily, he’s agreat leader and he’ll be

missed.”The Bombers (18-11-1)

struggled all season longwith the Cardinals going1-4 versus the statechamps. Their lone wincameOct. 6 at theMilfordInvitational, knocking offthe Cards 8-5.

Threeyears agoSt.Xa-vier didn’t have a waterpolo program, now theyhave three teams with 28kids, including 14 whonever touched awater po-lo ball prior to the begin-ning of the season. Thisyear’s team includes boysfrom Loveland, Rose-lawn, Sharonville, Pleas-ant Ridge, Colerain Town-ship, West Chester, BlueAsh, Middletown, Ander-sonTownship,HydePark,Maineville, andMadeira.

On Veterans Day, we turnour attention to the friends,coworkers and family mem-bers who have proudly wornthe uniform of the UnitedStates armed services.

As President John F. Kenne-dy remarked in observance ofthis sacred holiday, “As weexpress our gratitude, we mustnever forget that the highestappreciation is not to utterwords, but to live by them.”

That is why I was proud towork in a bipartisan manner inthe Ohio General Assembly tointroduce legislation in 2009 togive Ohio veterans of the Per-sian Gulf, Iraq, and Afghani-stan a cash bonus for theirservice to our country. And asa veteran myself, I was proud

to see thefunding for itpass with thesupport ofmore than 72percent ofvoters.

However,those votesjust expressedour gratitude.Now wemustshow our ap-

preciation by making sureevery eligible veteran appliesbefore the program’s deadline.Unfortunately, many are stillunaware that this bonus isavailable to them.

Veterans who served in thePersian Gulf conflict (DesertShield and Desert Storm) from

Aug. 2, 1990, throughMarch 3,1991, have until the end of thisyear to apply. Those whoserved in Iraq have until theend of 2014 to apply. Presently,no deadline has been an-nounced for Afghanistan veter-ans.

Generally, the 2009 Veter-ans Bonus pays up to $1,000 forservice in theater and $500 forother active service during thewars. Medically disabled ser-vice members may receive aone-time payment of $1,000.The families of those who donot return will receive $5,000.

More than 66,000 Ohio vet-erans and families have re-ceived the bonus since August2010, but many more have yetto apply. With time running

out, it is important that wespread the word as far and inas many ways as possible.

Earlier this year, I intro-duced HB166, which wouldhave allowed eligible veteransto identify themselves as suchon their Ohio tax return. Then,the Ohio Department of Veter-ans Services would be able toidentify and assist these veter-ans in applying for the bonusand other benefits they haveearned. Unfortunately, this billhas not made it out of theHouse Ways &Means Commit-tee yet, but I and other legisla-tors continue to urge its pas-sage. Until then, veterans musttake it upon themselves toapply.

To apply, contact the Ohio

Department of Veteran Ser-vices at 1-877-644-6838, visitveteransbonus.ohio.gov, orcontact your county VeteransService Commission. If youknow of a friend, co-worker, orfamily member who served inthe Persian Gulf, please makesure they are aware of thisbonus and the deadline at theend of the year.

It’s not enough to truly re-pay them for their service, butit shows that in Ohio we honorour veterans in our actions, notjust our words.

State Rep. Connie Pillich servedeight years on active duty in the USAir Force. She represents the 28thOhio House District.

Another breast can-cer awareness month isbehind us. It is amazingthe strides that havebeen made in the earlydetection and treatmentof the disease. But didyou know that the excel-lent medical resourcesavailable for the treat-ment ofcancerareonlyhalf thestory?

InOcto-ber2007,theIn-stituteofMedicine of the NationalAcademies of Sciencepublished a report “Can-cer Care for the WholePatient” which recog-nized that the standardof care for people withcancer should includeboth excellent medicaltreatment and supportfor the psychologicaland social support (psy-chosocial) problems thataccompany a diagnosisof cancer. The reportstates that “attention topatients’ psychosocialhealth needs is the ex-ception rather than therule in cancer care to-day.”

Fortunately, in thegreater Cincinnati re-gion there are two or-ganizations that provideexactly the services thatare called for in thereport – Cancer FamilyCare and Cancer Sup-port Community. As thedirector of the CancerSupport Community Iwill talk about CSC ser-vices, but readersshould know that bothorganizations are wellequipped to providepsychosocial supportservices.

Our two organizationscollaborate, serve onmany of the same com-mittees, share staff andcross refer to the or-ganization best equippedto meet an individual’sneeds.

A diagnosis of cancercan be physically, fi-

nancially and emotional-ly devastating. It is fre-quently accompanied bysignificant stress andfeelings of loss of con-trol, connection, andeven hope. It not onlyimpacts the person withthe disease, but alsotheir families, neighborsand co-workers.

Help is availableright in our communityand all services are of-fered at no cost. CancerSupport Community ispart of a national organi-zation which has a 30-year history of helpingpeople reduce stress andimprove quality of lifefrom diagnosis, treat-ment and beyond to sur-vivorship.

Services are a com-plement to traditionalmedical care; not a sub-stitute, which is whyCSC has great workingrelationships with allarea oncology servicesand hospitals. Amongthe free services areprofessionally facilitat-ed support groups, net-working groups, stressreduction programs(yoga, tai chi, guidedimagery, education pro-grams often featuringoncologists from localmedical institutions,nutrition classes, andsocial opportunitieswhere people affectedby cancer can spendtime with people simi-larly impacted in a safeand comfortable envi-ronment.

People with cancerand their caregivers andcan find the world class,evidence based emotion-al support the Instituteof Medicine suggests,right here at home.

Programs are offeredin Blue Ash, NorthernKentucky and 10 otherlocations around theTristate. All CancerSupport Communityprograms are offeredfree of charge. Pleasecall us at 513-791-4060 oron line athttp://bit.ly/Qj5rsi.

Nov. 6 questionStateSen.BillSeitzhas introduced

legislationwhichwould redefine thestandards or third parties to appearon Ohio’s ballot, including a mini-mum requirement of 56,000 signa-tures to get on the ballot and receiv-ing at least 3 percent of the vote in apresidential election to stay on theballot.DoyousupportSeitz’spropos-al? Why or why not?

“There needs to be some mini-mum requirement to get on theOhio state ballot. 56,000 signaturesseem like a rational number to usealong with at least 3 percent of thevoteminimum.Latelywith the fail-ures ofboth theDemocrats andRe-

publicans to accomplish anythingexpect increasing the debt, I wel-come a third-party influence.There is always the write in candi-date line too. Go figure!

T.D.T.

“Because I am ignorant of thecurrent process, if any, for thirdparties getting onto the ballot, Ican’t gauge the value of this pro-posal. If the proposal is more re-strictive – or less restrictive –then I would like for Sen. Seitz tojustify his reason for thechange.”

R.V.

“Yes, I do support Sen. Seitz’sproposal, especially because itcouldget the teapartyhypocriteson the ballot against Democratsand Republicans.

NEXT QUESTIONSeveral major retailers and mallswill be open for holiday shoppingthroughout Thanksgiving Day. Isthis a good idea and do you plan toplan to take advantage of theextended hours? Why or why not?

Every week we ask readers a question theycan reply to via e-mail. Send your answersto [email protected] Chatroom in the subject line.

Seniors want to be indepen-dent, and key to that independ-ence is financial stability. Help-ing Hamilton and Warren Countyseniors attain or maintain thatstability is one of our missions atCincinnati Area Senior Services(CASS).

Health care costs can be asignificant issue for many of ourseniors. Plans which help controlthose costs, and do so effectively,deserve our support.

Medicare Part D, the prescrip-tion drug program, has helpedseniors and those with disabil-ities with dependable access tomedications since the programstarted in 2006. At a time whenhealth care costs are spiralingout of control, Part D is costing45 percent lower than projec-tions, according to the Congres-sional Budget Office (CBO).

The Journal of the AmericanMedical Association (JAMA) lastyear said that improved accessand adherence to medicinesthrough Part D saves Medicareabout $1,200 per year in hospital,nursing home and other costs foreach senior who previouslylacked comprehensive drug cov-erage. This translates into about$12 billion per year in savingsacross Medicare.

Polls have consistently shownhigh satisfaction rates amongPart D enrollees. A recent sur-vey by Medicare Today foundthat 90 percent of seniors in PartD are satisfied with the program.

Part D is a public-private part-nership. The federal governmentmanages the program and pri-vate insurers administer theplans. The health plans negotiate

with pharmaciesand drug compa-nies to get thelowest possibleprices. This re-quires healthplans to competefor customers,resulting in awide variety ofaffordable planchoices.

Medicare PartD premiums are half the amountprojected when the programstarted and remained unchangedbetween 2011 and 2013. The aver-age monthly premium is about$30 in 2013, less than half of the$61 forecast originally, accordingto the Centers for Medicare Ser-vices.

A 2012 analysis shows that theaverage price for prescribeddrugs purchased through Part Dincreased by a total of just 1 per-cent over the program’s firstfour years.

Despite its solid performance,the future of Part D is in jeopar-dy as Congress considers thefederal budget deficit and enti-tlement reforms. There are threeproposals that could dramat-ically change Part D and un-dermine its success.

First: the Independent Pay-ment Advisory Board (IPAB), a15-member group solely appoint-ed by the President. When itconvenes in the future, the IPABwill recommend ways to holddown costs in Medicare. It isexpected that some recommen-dations will restrict access tosome medicines and treatments.

The IPAB is unaccountable to

Congress and its decisions can-not be appealed or challengedby patients or their medicalprofessionals. It is encouragingthat some in Congress are work-ing to repeal this part of theAffordable Care Act.

Second, many in Congresswant to impose Medicaid-stylerebates to Part D. This wouldimpose government price con-trols on about one-third of PartD spending and undermines thecurrent competition-basedstructure that contains costs.

Third, there are some whowant to allow the Secretary ofHealth and Human Services tointerfere in the private pricenegotiations between MedicarePart D plans and drug manu-facturers and pharmacies in theprogram. Part D prohibits thisas the “non-interference clause”but some in Congress want torepeal this rule.

The nonpartisan CBO saysthat allowing interference isunlikely to achieve any signifi-cant savings unless the govern-ment also restricts beneficiaryaccess to prescription drugs orfixes prices.

One of our agency’s visions isto excel in fiscal managementand efficiency of operation. Webelieve Medicare Part D is onthe path to do the same. We urgethe Ohio members of Congress,particularly U.S. Rep. BradWenstrup, U.S. Sen. SherrodBrown and U.S. Sen Rob Port-man, to maintain the successfulMedicare Part D program.

Tracey Collins is the executive directorof Cincinnati Area Senior Services.

Region rallies tomake a differenceBrad Grimm’s kids

groaned a little when hewoke them early Sat-

urday to do some volunteerwork for Make a DifferenceDay.

But the complaining didn’tlast long.

Soon after they arrived at AChild’s Hope International inSharonville, Emma, 9, andBrendan, 7, took to the task ofpacking food for needy chil-dren with enthusiasm. Ithelped that the place was filledwith music and hundreds ofvolunteers, many of them oth-er kids, working in a big roomthat felt more like a party thana campaign to save the world.

“It was a little rough gettingthem up,” said Grimm, of Lib-erty Township, “but they’rehaving a good time now.”

Similar scenes played outacross the region Saturday asparents, children, neighbors,co-workers and strangerscame together for Make aDifference Day events that

participants often said were asrewarding as they were impor-tant. Parents brought theirchildren, neighbors came withneighbors, and more than afew teenagers encouragedtheir moms and dads to jointhem.

“It shows them that it’simportant to give back,”Grimm said of his children.

Make a Difference Daystarted more than 20 yearsago, and the annual event isnow the largest national day ofcommunity service. Thousandsof projects were plannedacross the country.

At A Child’s Hope, morethan 600 volunteers turned outin two different shifts to packboxes of rice, soy and driedvegetables for hungry childrenaround the world, from Africato poor neighborhoods in theUnited States.

Organizers turned the eventinto a contest between morethan 20 tables of volunteers. Avideo display ticked down the

minutes and showed howmanyboxes of food had been packedwhile volunteers scrambled tomeasure, weigh and pack thebags. Music blared from loud-speakers, and kids slappedhigh-fives whenever theyfilled a box.

“The whole family can dothis together,” said CherylKemp, an administrative assis-tant at A Child’s Hope.

And many did. The Grimmsworked alongside three gener-ations of a family fromMason.GrandmaMargie Sawyerhelped her 16-year-old grand-daughter, EmmaWittman, fillthe bags with rice and soy,while Emma’s mom and step-father helped weigh and sealthe bags a few feet away.

Emma said she wanted tohelp a good cause but admittedshe had an ulterior motive. “Iwanted to spend some timewith mymom,” she said.

The Sharonville event wasamong the largest in the regionSaturday, but dozens of otherstook place throughout the day.

Neighbors helped clean streetsin North Avondale and Lin-wood, children collected itemsfor orphans in Delhi Townshipand animal lovers raised mon-ey for shelters in Madeira andAmelia.

Alex Linser, a Linwood com-munity trustee, joined about ahalf-dozen others in a street-cleaning mission Saturdaymorning. On Church Place,just north of Linwood’s busi-ness district, they cut awayovergrowth that had covered asidewalk for years.

Together, they filled a pick-up truck with branches, leaves,trash and other debris.

“We can’t do everything,”Linser said, “but it will look alot better when we’re done.”

Another reclamation pro-ject was underway in Amelia,where more than 20 volunteersshowed up to help Perla Kinneand her husband expand theAngel’s Rest Animal Sanctu-ary.

The shelter is home to al-most 100 cats and dogs that are

old, sick or considered hard-to-adopt. If not for the shelter,most would have been euthan-ized. “We’ve had some dogswith us only three days,” Kinnesaid. “Our goal is that’s threedays they’ll be loved.”

The shelter is expanding toa new location on Ohio Pikeand needed to prepare the9,000-square-foot building andthe big yard that goes with itfor more animals. Kinne putout a call for help on Facebookand the Make a DifferenceDay website. She was over-whelmed by the response.

Volunteers cleared thebuildings of old furniture andjunk, mended a fence in theyard and helped put together athrift shop that Kinne hopeswill raise money to support theshelter’s operations. Localbusinesses pitched in by pro-viding free doughnuts, coffeeand pizza through the day.

“It’s wonderful,” Kinne said,looking at a parking lot filledwith volunteers’ cars. “It’spretty amazing.”m

NOVEMBER 13, 2013 • TRI-COUNTY PRESS • B3LIFE

Thanksgiving will behere before you know itand some of you are al-ready preparing yourgrocery list. Thanks-giving is my favoriteholiday since it’s justabout food, family andfriends – no presentsrequired. Yes, it can getstressful, especially ifyou’re hosting the feast.As I tell you every year,it’s not only about thefood, but who sits in thechairs. Some advice fromone who has been there,done that: Parsley andwhipping cream aregreat culinary Band-Aids.

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

Double CitrusLimoncello

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

2 pounds lemons, thickskinned

4 limes, thick skinned if youcan find them

4 cups good quality 100proof vodka

3 cups sugar3 cups water

Pour vodka in largegallon glass jar or con-tainer.

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

Bring sugar and waterto a simmer and stir untilsugar dissolves and

thickens abit. Letcool andthen addthat tovodkamixtureand stir.Strain andput in pret-ty bottles.Seal and

chill in refrigerator for acouple of weeks, at least.

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

Horseradish mashedpotatoes for Thanks-giving. “Howmuchhorseradish do I add andwhen do I add it?” Forthree pounds potatoes,stir in a generous 1⁄4 cupbottled horseradish (nothorseradish sauce) aftermashing. Check yourbottled horseradish if it’s

been in the refrigerator awhile. It should be niceand white. If it tastesvinegary or not reallyspicy, it’s old and needsto be replaced.

From the now-iconicphrase “Four score sevenyears ago,” to the equallyiconic phrase, that “gov-ernment of the people, bythe people, for the people,shall not perish from theearth,” Wernz will havevisitors feeling like theyare in the audience of the16th president.

Wernzwas born in1935inMt. Healthy, on LincolnAvenue. He attendedGreenhills High School,graduating in 1953.

As a child Wernz al-ways had a deep regardfor both GeorgeWashing-ton andAbrahamLincoln.He was especially drawnto President Lincoln andin the1960’swhenhegrewa beard a student com-mented that he alwaysacted like Lincoln andnow he looked like him.Wernz looked in the mir-ror and concluded if heshaved his mustachethere was indeed a greatsimilarity in appearance.

ThusbeganhiscareerasaLincoln impersonator.

Following retirement,Wernz began doing morepresentations of LincolnandjoinedtheAssociationofLincolnPresenters.Hismonologue is taken fromthe speeches and writ-ings’ of Lincoln.

Wernz has appeared insuch publications as Peo-ple, Time, CincinnatiMagazine and a Smithso-nian Documentary “TheFighting Irish.”

A new king has beencrowned!

His name is John Alt-man, and he is the 2013King of Bridge.

TheKing (or Queen) ofBridge accolade recog-nizes a graduating highschool senior’s overallparticipation in the localbridge community, aswell as prowess in thegame. Selected annuallyby theAmericanContractBridge League Educa-tional Foundation fromHigh School senior appli-cants, the King/Queen ofBridgecrown is accompa-nied by a $1,000 scholar-ship.

Altman is a resident ofEvendale and a formerlong-time resident of Ma-riemont,andagraduateofWalnut Hills High School.He began playing bridgewhen hewas12-years-old,but notes that he has beenplaying cards since be-fore he could count.

“I learnedmynumbersfrom playing cards withmy grandma,” he said.“My grandma knew I hada knack for cards, so as agift, she paid for me andmy dad to take lessons atthe Cincinnati BridgeCenter on Cooper Road.After a few lessons, I washooked.”

His bridge teacher,Nancy Sachs, and his firstmentor, (the CincinnatiBridge Center has a na-tionally recognized Men-tor/Mentee Program tohelp newer players pro-gress in the game) BillHiggins of Indian Hill,were also instrumental ingrowing his love for the

game.Altman is travelling in

distinguished company inhis passion for bridge.Both Warren Buffet andBill Gates are devotees ofthe game. What sets Alt-man apart, however, is hiswise-beyond-his-years fo-cus on recruitment andteaching.

“Ofall the things Ihavedone in the bridge com-munity, teaching has beenone of my absolute favor-ites,”Altmansaid.Altmancreated the Walnut HillsBridge Club, an after-school club at his highschool. The club meetsweekly, and welcomes allwith a desire to learn thisnoble game.

What is it about bridgethat sets it apart fromoth-er card games? The an-swers are many, begin-ningwith themental stim-ulation and challenge itaffords. Educators em-bracetheactivitybecauseit hones math skills alongwith requiring mentalstrategy and planning. Anumber of schools in thearea have recognized thisfact. There are also after-school clubs at IndianHillmiddle school and highschool, St. Xavier HighSchool and Lakota HighSchool.

For those in the seniorcitizen category it has

been found that playingbridge can hedge one’sbets against developingmemory loss. Research inAlzheimer’s disease hasdiscovered that deliber-ately struggling to learndifficult material is goodfor one’s brain, frombirthto old age.

So, what are the nextsteps for this King of theBridge World? What elsebut establishing a BridgeClub at The Ohio StateUniversity in Columbus,where he is a ChemicalEngineering major.

To learn more aboutplaying bridge in Cincin-nati go to the CincinnatiBridge Association web-site at www.cincybridge-.com or send an email [email protected]. Any middleor high schools interestedin forming a bridge clubshould contact Mike Pur-cell at [email protected].

James W. Steele, whohas devoted all of his pro-fessional life andmuch ofhis personal life to help-ing people with develop-mental disabilities, hasbeen appointed executivedirector of Ohio ValleyResidential Services, anonprofit that serves peo-ple with developmentaldisabilities.

OVRS runs more than20 homes in Greater Cin-cinnati forpeoplewithde-velopmental disabilitiesand provides other relat-ed services. It has about140 clients.

Steele previouslyworked as executive di-rector of Halom HouseInc., which also providesresidential services topeople with developmen-tal disabilities in Hamil-ton County.

Board member CareyKruer called Steele the“ideal candidate.”

“Jamie had a record ofsuccess and backgroundthat matched our needsperfectly,” she said.

His personal connec-

tion to people with devel-opmental disabilities be-gan at age four when hisbrother, Andy, was bornwith a severe develop-mental disability. Hisbrother was never able towalk or talk, but still in-spires Steele – even afterhis death 14 years ago.

One day when theywere children, the twowere at a neighborhoodpark, Steele recalled in anessay. Steele got into theonly fistfight of his life.Another child had beenmaking fun of theway hisbrother looked and the

sounds he made.“That day didn’t turn

out so good for that kid,”Steele wrote. “My par-ents didn’t condonefighting and my mothermade sure that everyoneknew how disappointedshe was withme in fight-ing.

“Onthewayhomethatday,” Steele added, “westopped at the store andshe told me I could haveany candy I wanted.”

During the summers,the brothers attendedStepping Stones in IndianHill, a camp for childrenwith developmental dis-abilities. Andy was acamper; Jamie a counsel-or.

Ever since then, Steelehas been in jobs where heserves people with devel-opmental disabilities.

In college, he earned abachelor’s degree at theCollege of Mt. St. Joseph,

where he focused on so-cial work and religiousstudies, andamaster’sde-gree at the University ofCincinnati, where he con-centrated on social workwith an emphasis on ad-ministration.

Throughout his collegeyears, heworked in grouphomes. During that peri-od, he helped to deinstitu-tionalize people with de-velopmental disabilities,a trend that started in the1970s.Hehelped theResi-dent Home Corp., nowknownasEnvision, openagroup home for peoplewho had lived in an Ohioinstitution forpeoplewithdisabilities.

After college, heworked as a resident as-sistant for the ResidentHome Corp., as an em-ployment counselor forBawac Inc. in NorthernKentucky, and as a socialworker for the Drake

Center, serving peoplewith developmental dis-abilities in each of thoseroles.

Then, for 20 years, heworked as executive di-rector of Halom House,which is based in BlueAsh. He oversaw itsgrowth from one homewith eight residents to 25residents in various set-tings. During his timethere, he performed thefunctions of every em-ployee as well as fund-raising, community out-reach, political advocacyand human resources.

Hismove to OVRSwasnatural, not only becauseit’s a bigger organizationbut also because the twononprofits have similarmissions, visions and val-ues. In addition, the long-timeexecutivedirectorofOVRS, Michael DeFran-cesco, who retired, hadbeen a mentor to Steele,

so Steele knew quite a bitabout OVRS.

OVRSBoardPresidentHenry Bang said Steelenot only broughtwith himfresh ideas and a strongcommitment to peoplewith developmental dis-abilities but also successwithfund-raising thatwillhelp OVRS enhance itsfund-raising activities.

Steele hopes to en-hance the organization’scurrent services and initi-ate new ones.

“Wecan leadour indus-try by introducing inno-vative residential envi-ronments for the folks weserve,” he said.

Steele, who lives withhis family in St. Bernard,also founded and sings ina 10-year-old rock bandknown as “The Code.” Allproceeds from their per-formances go to nonprof-its. The band has raisedmore than $60,000.
