A long and healthy life. That’s the goal of the Hamil-
ton County Public Health Dis-trict’s WeThrive project.
WeThrive is a county-widemovement that builds teams ofcommunity partners, includingschools, businesses, churches,elected officials and residentsworking together to makehealthy living easier.
The movement focuses on in-creasing access to healthy eat-ing and physical activity, whiledecreasing tobacco use and ex-posure to secondhand smoke.WeThrive is about making last-ing changes that keep commu-nities healthy for generations.
Hamilton County PublicHealth Commissioner Tim In-gram says the program is agame-changer for his depart-ment.
“Instead of the health depart-ment telling everyone how tolive healthy lives, WeThrive fo-cuses on changing social normsby creating policy, systems andenvironmental changes withthe goal of making healthy liv-ing easier,” he said. “Our teamswork directly with communityleaders in Hamilton County toengage in healthier practicesand incorporate change at thecommunity level.”
Each community teamworks at its own pace and imple-ments the changes necessary toachieve healthier goals, whileHamilton County Public Healthstaff members conduct commu-nity health assessments, whichgather community-level healthdata. The community health as-sessment is a check up of sorts.What are the challenges andtrends? The assessments deter-mine those answers and the in-formation is meant to helpguide the communities as theydecide what healthy living willlook like for them.
Based on the data collectedby health department staff,communities can choose one offour pathways: chronic disease,environmental health, commu-nity health, and emergency pre-paredness. Those pathways de-termine the focus and help di-rect community engagement ingetting healthy as a community.
Health district staff mem-bers lend experience and helpguide the teams of local part-ners through the process ofadopting wellness resolutionsand selecting a pathway basedon the health assessment infor-mation. Then the groups devel-op action plans, and begin im-
In addition to community-based programs, the health de-partment is extending the reachof WeThrive through child carefacilities, faith-based organiza-tions, and schools.
The WeThrive Child CareInitiative focuses on enhancingnutrition and physical activityin child care settings by encour-aging increased access tohealthier foods and beverages,limited screen time and in-creased active play.
The WeThrive Faith-basedInitiative and the Center forClosing the Health Gap ad-dressed barriers to exercise forpeople who may not have accessto facilities by helping faith-based organizations createphysical activity ministries andprograms that are open to bothchurch members and the pub-lic. The CCHG developed a toolkit for faith-based organiza-tions interested in creating sim-ilar programs.
The WeThrive School-basedInitiative partnered with theNutrition Council and initiallyhelped 11 school districts adoptthe new state nutrition stan-dards early, making it easier formore than 61,000 students inHamilton County to makehealthy choices when they areat school. These early-adoptingdistricts included Cincinnati,Deer Park, Finneytown, Lock-land, Loveland, Madeira,Princeton, Reading, Sycamore,Southwest and Three Rivers.Ultimately, all 22 Hamilton

Anderson TownshipAnderson Township
began its affiliation withWeThrive at the urgingof Trustee Josh Gerthand quickly formed twocommittees, AndersonTownship Planner TomCaruso said. One was acommittee of residents inthe township. The secondwas a subcommittee ofthe transportation advi-sory committee.
The first committee,he said, considered how
Anderson could be in-volved. It looked athealth assessments, side-
walks and health fairs,for examples.
The subcommittee fo-cused on sidewalks, safestreets to school and oth-er healthy community is-sues relating to transpor-tation.
The township is devel-oping its action plan forWeThrive.
“I think a lot of whatWeThrive is trying to getcommunities to do, we’realready doing,” Carusosaid. The township hasthe Anderson Trails, saferoutes to school, a Farm-er’s Market, and workswith Mercy Hospital interms of health assess-ments.
“So a lot of things oth-er communities have notbeen doing we have beendoing for a lot of years,”he said. “We felt it wouldbe a good combinationwith the health depart-ment and AndersonTownship.”

seminated to a number ofresidents in the communi-ty questioning why theschool board did not sim-ply terminate Jackson,Board Member Jim Froo-man said a terminationwould have involved anumber of considera-tions.
These included a po-tential lawsuit, legal feesassociated with a lawsuit
and “considerable disrup-tion” in the district rang-ing from depositions tonegative media coverage.
“Carrying out termina-tion could cost taxpayersa lot more than other op-tions,” Board PresidentRandy Smith said in anemail following Froo-man’s.
The emails were sentshortly after Jackson’sresignation.
The board is also ex-pected to look more close-ly at a policy in regard to asuperintendent or other
administrator interven-ing on a classroom exam.
“We expect to focus onthat in the not too distantfuture,” Smith said. “(Wewant) to reinforce andmake every employee inthe district aware of theadministrative guidelineor policy.”
Board Member JulieBissinger said the boardwill review the situationthat occurred with Jack-son to “minimize some-thing similar happeningin the future.”

JUNE 10, 2015 • FOREST HILLS JOURNAL • 5ANEWS
When we were growing up (back in thedark ages as my kids say) we didn’t celebrateFather’s day with the hoopla like we do today,
but Mom did fix a special din-ner for our Dad.
He enjoyed his day by plant-ing zinnias and marigolds inthe tiny patch of earth on theleft side of the front steps ofour home.
Each year I plant zinniasand marigolds in the Biblesection of my herb garden nearthe Mary statute to honor myDad.
Now my husband, Frank, ismaking it easy for me on Dad’s day. He re-quested this moist almond pound cake alongwith one more thing: “Peace and quiet.”
The pound cake is a given, the peace and
quiet is debatable. And for all of our Dads inour community newspaper family, I hope youhave the best Father’s Day ever, filled withfamily, friends, and food.
Can you help?Recipe, menu needed from tearooms of
CincinnatiCynthia Beischel is working on a cook-
book about the tearooms of Cincinnati.If you have any recipes from McAlpin’s
tearoom, a menu from Pogue’s CamargoRoom, or a taffy recipe, would you contactCynthia at: [email protected].

Savor Dad’s day with special recipesFrangipane/almond pound cake
A good keeper, covered, at room temperature. It sounds fancy - frangi-pane just means there’s almond in the cake.
1 cup butter, softened1 cup sugar3 eggs1 can, 12-1/2 oz., Solo almond filling (not almond paste)2 -1⁄4 cups all purpose flour2 teaspoons baking powder1⁄2 teaspoon salt1⁄4 cup milk
Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour 10-inch tube pan or 12-cup Bundtpan. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beat-ing well after each. Mix in almond filling until blended. Whisk flour, bakingpowder, and salt together. Add to almond mixture alternately with milk,beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix until blended. Pour into pan.Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely onrack. Drizzle glaze on top.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen:It’s important to grease and flour the pan to prevent sticking. After you
grease the pan, toss in enough flour to coat bottom and sides. Shake excessout. Or use a baking spray containing flour.
Versatile spicy chimichurri sauce
A reader wanted a spicy chimichurri to serve on top of steaks for Father’sday. Rick Bayless and I did a class together and he made this chimichurri. Heused it as a marinade and sauce for shrimp. It was so good and versatile, too.Nice on chicken, fish and, you bet - steak! I’ve adapted it only slightly.
1/2 head garlic, cloves separated3 Jalapeno or Serano chilies1 bunch cilantro, tough lower stems removed1 bunch parsley, tough lower stems removed1/2 cup extra virgin olive oilSalt to taste3 tablespoons water or bit more if needed
Set a dry skillet over medium heat. Lay unpeeled garlic cloves and chiliesin pan. Roast, turning frequently, for about 10 minutes for chilies and 15 min-utes for garlic, or until soft and blotchy brown in spots. Let cool and slip skinsoff the garlic. Wearing gloves, pull stems off chilies and roughly chop (no needto remove seeds). Place in a food processor along with cilantro, parsley, oliveoil, and salt. Process until nearly smooth (it will be pasty). Stir in water. Tasteand adjust seasonings.

As health commissioner, Icould write columns, sendflyers, or talk to you throughthe media, continually tellingyou that we eat and smoke toomuch and don’t get enoughexercise.
I could share studies anddata illustrating the ills await-ing us as a result of our less-than-healthy lifestyles. Or, Icould engage you and yourcommunities to make sub-stantive, long-lasting policyand infrastructure changes toencourage healthy practices.Which tactic do you thinkwould be most successful?
Hopefully, you will agreethat the latter approach ismost effective. If so, you andyour community are primecandidates to join the WeTh-rive movement, makinghealthy practices part of yourcommunity vernacular.
WeThrive is a county-widemovement of community part-ners, schools, businesses,
places of wor-ship, electedofficials andresidentsworking to-gether tomake healthyliving easierand healthypractices partof your dailyroutine. Themovement
focuses on increasing accessto healthy eating and physicalactivity, while decreasingtobacco use and exposure tosecondhand smoke. WeThriveis about making lastingchanges that keep communi-ties healthy for generations.
We are working to changethe paradigms inherent indelivering healthy messagingand programming to HamiltonCounty. Rather than talk aboutchange, our team jumps di-rectly in with communityteams dedicated to addressing
some of the most common butpreventable health issuesfacing us today. WeThriveengages community leader-ship through four distinctpathways: chronic disease,environmental health, commu-nity health, and emergencypreparedness.
Participating communitiesadopt resolutions, organizeteams, select a pathway andthen get to work improvingtheir health and preparedness.Each community team worksat its own pace and imple-ments the changes necessaryto achieve healthier goals,while Hamilton County PublicHealth staff provides commu-nity-level health data, lendsexperience and helps guidethe process.
Since we launched theWeThrive initiative in 2008,we have seen substantialchange in some of the partici-pating communities. Parksand areas for physical play
and recreation have been de-veloped. Gardens have sprungup in several communitiesaround the County. Schoolsand childcare facilities haveadopted healthy eating andsmoke-free policies. Schooldistricts have carved out safeways for children to get someexercise while walking toschool. And perhaps mostimportant, people are incorpo-rating healthy practices intoeveryday living.
There are 19 HamiltonCounty communities partici-pating in the WeThrive initia-tive. That is approximatelyhalf of the communitiesserved by Hamilton CountyPublic Health. Imagine thehealth benefits we could af-fect together if our communi-ties lined up behind one ormore of the pathways tohealth identified by WeThrive.
Imagine the county-widereduction in obesity and sub-sequently the preventable
diseases associated with obe-sity, if we could implementhealthy eating and exerciseprograms in the communitieswith the most to gain. Thinkabout the health improvementfor our younger generation asthey grow up with healthyeating, exercise and tobaccoreduction as part of their ev-eryday routines. This year, forthe first time, we can workwith communities to developand implement emergencypreparedness programs toround out a community’s pub-lic health offerings.
Will you consider joining usas we work to make healthychoices easier choices? GiveRebecca Stowe a call at 513-946-7845 and she will be happyto work with you to assemble ateam to start thriving in yourcommunity.

Public Health Department.

Right of Way, or wrong?Readers posted these com-
ments to a story on Cincin-nati.com about the city of Cin-cinnati buying part of the Was-son Way rail line, which couldbe used to develop a bike trail(http://cin.ci/1K4UP9z):
“Figures. That corridorshould be preserved for futurecommuter rail service thatwould benefit a lot more than abike trail. What a waste ofright of way.”
Joseph Mathews“Who says it is permanently
reserved for use as a biketrail? In the decades of thefuture when priorities maychange and/or funding is avail-able for another alternative thecity would now own it.
“Shouldn’t priority No. 1 bepurchasing and taking controlof the right of way now?”
Steve Deiters“So 20 volunteers got to
spend $12M taxpayer dollarson a bike trail to nowhere.”
Rob Kern“John Cranley said this only
a few month ago...in an attemptto justify charging city resi-dents for parking, since thecity is investing in the street-car- ‘The people who are bene-fiting the most are buying$600,000, $700,000, $800,000condos...’
“He shows a clear resent-ment to the wealthy who areenjoying the cities renais-sance, and is trying to findways to punish them at everyturn.
“Yet the city will be invest-ing millions into a bike paththat goes through some of themost exclusive neighborhoodsin the city, with homes selling
for $1 million or more. “Yet he seems to harbor no
resentment to these residents.Instead he seems prepared toshower them with candy, whileasking nothing in return. May-be that’s because he is a resi-dent in this neighborhood?Because he sees a chance tobuy votes? Because he sees achance to stick it to fans of railtransit? Probably all of theabove.
“There is more to this pro-ject than a handful of activiststrying to get a nice trail to ride.They are just being used aspawns by Cranley and his polit-ical machine.”
Marc Raab“Do we need another bike
trail on the east side of town?There is this other side of towncalled the west side. We’d likea bike trail too!”
Angie Ferris Dwyer“I’m actually for this ... the
corridor is right now over-grown with trees or a realeyesore ... I know some aredisappointed that it isn’t beingkept for light rail ... but, that isso far down the line (so tospeak) that we could be intodecades of decay...
“The bike path/walking pathmakes a lot of sense. I live offof Erie on Ashworth and thetracks are behind our houseabout 500 feet ... and there areplenty of residences along thepath ... this would increaseproperty values in Hyde Parkand other neighborhoods ...make the area even more at-tractive for current housingand new development .. this, inturn, raises for property taxeswhich is beneficial to all ofHamilton County.”

June 3 questionThe Ohio legislature is con-
sidering moving the state’s2016 primary back a week sothat the state has “more influ-ence” in presidential nomina-tions. Is this a good idea? Whyor why not?
“Move the 2016 primaryback one week to enable‘more influence?’ In twowords: who cares? Nationalelections are won or lost inthe press, on TV and on theInternet. It simply does notmatter which state has thefirst primary or the largestprimary or the most contestedprimary. The only things thatmatter are which candidatehas the most money in his orher coffers and how videofriendly are their face andtheir ability to read a speechoff of the teleprompter. Naildown the money and read a
speech like a well oiled actorand even a minimally effec-tive community organizer canbecome president of the Unit-ed States. Scary and sad, buttrue.”
M.J.F.
“I’m not enough of a ‘mar-keter’ to really understandthis move. Since all of theparties are primarily more
worried about ‘press impact,’a sad note, to me, I’ll leave thewisdom of the move to the‘political experts’ who rely onthe latest polls rather thanworrying about whether thevoters understand issues. Itseems a little arrogant, butperceptive, that most eligiblevoters won’t look at issues orproblems, only the press re-lease.”
D.B.
“I would love it if all stateprimaries were done at thesame exact time. This wouldalso help cut down on thepolitical commercials or atleast their time frame dura-tion. Thank goodness forDVRs and cable stations. Forextra credit only allow absen-tee mail in ballots to cut ex-penses. Go Figure!”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat should Cincinnati cityleaders and residents do tocurtail the recent trends ofgun-related crimes in the city?
Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers [email protected] withCh@troom in the subject line.
“Help Wanted.”One sign of a growing
economy is that we see thatphrase more and more often –on storefronts, in newspapersand online. It reminds thosewho see it that there’s a jobwaiting to be filled.
At Great Oaks, we’re con-stantly hearing similar re-quests from our businesspartners. They have currentjob openings – or plans forfuture expansion –- andthey’re looking for potentialemployees with the righttraining to fill those jobs.
We hear that in all job sec-tors, but in recent years we’veheard about a particular gapbetween jobs and trainedindividuals in fields like man-ufacturing, welding, automo-tive technology, aviationmaintenance and constructiontrades like HVAC, electrical,plumbing, masonry, heavyequipment operations, andframing and finishing. Theseare careers for skilled profes-
sionals.The jobs
are there,through em-ployers acrossthe Tristateregion. Thetraining isavailable, atcareer-tech-nical centerslike GreatOaks Career
Campuses as well as publicand private colleges and uni-versities in the area. Whatseem to be missing are thosewho can and will take ad-vantage of the opportunities.That may be your neighbor,your son or daughter, yourfriend, or even you.
Chambers of commerce,employers, economic devel-opment officials, and othershave discussed and tried in-centives, marketing cam-paigns, websites, open houses,and other avenues to spreadthe word.
There’s no time to lose, andthat’s where you come into thepicture. Your help is wanted.If you know someone who isnot benefiting from Ohio’seconomic recovery, give thema nudge. Tell them to checkout training options in a fieldthat interests them. Chancesare good that there’s a placeto get that training nearbyand a job that’s waiting whenthey’re done. A great firststep is to visit the websiteohiomeansjobs.org. You’ll findresources for employmentand school information, andassistance to guide you inreaching your goals.
We all benefit when every-one works in satisfying andchallenging careers that payfamily-sustaining wages.Strengthen your community;tell a friend about trainingopportunities and in-demandcareers. Your help is wanted.

COLUMBUS — The 2015 Sum-mit Country Day baseballteam will be remembered forhaving exhibited so manyexemplary traits this season.
No one can question theresilience of the SilverKnights. They entered thepostseason with a 14-12 recordand made a memorable trip tothe state final in Columbus.
The Silver Knights sched-uled seven Division I teams inthe regular season and gainedvaluable experience along theway.
Summit Country Day play-ers believed they had some-thing to prove this postseasonand that determination andeffort was evident each timethe club took the field.
And Saturday night was nodifferent. The Silver Knightsleft it all on the field at Hun-tington Park in the statechampionship game.
Canton Central Catholicdefeated Summit CountryDay 4-2 in the Division IIIstate final on Saturday night.
Although it wasn’t the re-sult coach Triffon Callos andhis players wanted on thehigh school season’s finalnight, the impact this squadhad on the program has beenprofound.
The Silver Knights earnedtheir first trip the state finalsince 1995 when the programwon the Division IV state titlethat year.
Summit Country Day (19-13), unranked in the statecoaches’ poll, earned its firsttrip to the state semifinalssince 1996. The Silver Knightsdefeated Cincinnati HillsChristian Academy and Way-nesville – two top-five stateranked teams in the regionaltournament.
Even when the regionalfinal and state semifinal camedown to crucial situations inthe bottom of the seventhinning, the Silver Knightsdidn’t flinch.
“No one gave us a chanceat the beginning of the year,”sophomore Connor McMurrysaid Friday night. “And youknow what? We came into thistournament knowing that wehad a lot of people to provewrong and that really droveus. We have a ton of heart as ateam.”
The trip to Columbus thisspring represented addedsignificance for the four sen-iors – Craig James, MarkPeterson, Brooks Taylor andEric Terry. To reach the statefinal was extra special forthose players.
“It means the world to me,”Terry said on Friday night.

COLUMBUS — Enteringthe Division I state cham-pionship game againstUpper Arlington, St. Xavi-er had outscored its oppo-nents by a combined 68-11.
After the win againstMoeller in the regional fi-nal, senior attacker JackPerez said the Bomberslike to start fast andpreach that the game isdecided in the first fiveminutes.
Fortunately for theBombers, that wasn’t thecase as Upper Arlingtonscored the first threegoals of the game. How-ever, St. X fought its wayback to supplant the de-fending state champion7-6.
Perez scored thegame-winning goal andgoalkeeper Alex Detersrecorded the final save toclinch the victory.
“I’m just so proud ofthe boys,” St. Xaviercoach Nate Sprong said.“They’ve worked so hardfor this, it wasn’t pretty,but they overcame it withsheer grit in the secondhalf.”
St. X didn’t find theback of the cage untilJack Green scored thefirst of his four goals with1:23 left in the first quar-ter.
With two seconds leftin the first frame, GeorgeThurner cut the Bomb-ers’ deficit to 3-2.
In the second quarter,the Golden Bears re-claimed the lead with
three goals. Green scoredhis second of the game.
At the half, Upper Ar-lington led 6-3.
From there, it was allBombers as they scoredfour unanswered goals in
the second half, includingtwo more by Green. Hisfinal goal of the game tiedit.
“They were locking offon (William) Holcomband (David) Leising,” said
Green, the game’s mostvaluable player on of-fense. “I could take theshot all day or draw slidesand pass it. It was goodstuff.”
Matthew Donnelly also
put one in the back of thenet and Perez scored theeventual game-winninggoal.
“On man-up rushes, wealways try to find a 3-on-2and I saw it on the leftwing,” Perez said. “I sawmy man had his headturned away from theball, so I went back-door,threw a fake and luckily itwent in.
“I had gotten stoned bythe goalie earlier. I need-ed that one.”
That goal came withabout four minutes left toplay. It was up to the de-fense to make it stand.
Upper Arlingtonplayed with more urgen-cy and the game got a lit-tle chippy. Eventually, theGolden Bears wound upwith the final possession.
They maintained thatsame deliberate ap-proach that netted themsix goals but the final shotwound up in Deters’ web-bing.
“In the second half, weplayed 24 minutes of shut-out lacrosse,” said De-ters, the game’s defensivemost valuable player. “Ifelt the weight of the ballin my stick, saw therewasn’t much time left andI high-tailed it out ofthere.
“It still hasn’t set inquite yet. Hopefully, itdoes soon.”
Saint Xavier midfielder Jack Green celebrates his first half goal against Upper Arlington. Saint Xavier defeated Upper Arlington7-6 and became the 2015 Ohio D1 state champion.
COLUMBUS — McNi-cholas’ boys track andfield team featured onlytwo seniors, Will Allgeierand Jordan Musselman,on its 25-man roster.
With the amount of un-derclassmen on the ros-ter, it only made sense forthe coaching staff to leanheavily on the seniorsthey had.
“He was huge for theguys on this young, butimproving roster,”McNick coach Kyle Jep-son said of Allgeier’s lead-ership. “He set a standard
for what can beachieved.”
Allgeier, who accord-ing to Jepson, scored inevery meet this season,finished 14th in the shotput in the Division II statechampionship meetJune 5 at Jesse OwensMemorial Stadium. Hislast throw of 48 feet, 11 1⁄4inches was his best of theday.
“I threw the secondfarthest throw (of my ca-reer), so I was pretty con-tent with the day,” All-geier said via email. “Iwas a little worried aftermy first throw but I keptimproving.”
Allgeier did finishahead of Fenwick’s SeanSherman, who was aheadof him in the regional.
He qualified for thestate meet by finishingthird in that regionalwith a throw of 50’5.5 1⁄2,”a new school record.
He admitted therewere times this seasonwhere he could havepushed a little harder,something all athletesstruggle with, and couldhave had better tech-nique at the state meet.
By and large, howev-er, he said there wasn’tmuch he would changeabout his experiences at
the state meet or his ca-reer.
In particular, he en-joyed the tournamentatmosphere – “a lot ofmoving around, clap-ping, noise,” he said.
He also enjoyed see-ing Unioto’s Trevor De-tillion and Zane Trace’sWalt Petzel push eachother to do their best.
