The legend of the LovelandFrogman first got legs on awinter night in 1972 when aLoveland police patrolman re-ported spotting a frog-like hu-man creature on the roadalongside the Little Miami Riv-er. It leapt off into the river, orso the story goes.

Today, they are simply some-one’s mom, grandma, wife,daughter or best friend.
Back in a day some may havebeen referred to as WACs(Women’s Army Corps),WAVES (Women Accepted forVolunteer Emergency Service),or even WAF ( Women in the AirForce). These acronyms werecommonly used in reference toactive duty service women. Theacronyms faded in the ’70swhen the separate women’s mil-itary branches were eliminated.
Historically, women veter-ans have not always receivedthe same level of recognition astheir male counterparts, HonorFlight director Cheryl Popp ofSymmes Township said. Yettheir service to their country isequally important.
For this reason, Honor FlightTri-State is about to make histo-ry as it honors women veteranswith a flight all their own Sept.22. Founded in 2007, HonorFlight Tri-State was created tohonor America's WW II, Koreanand Vietnam Veterans and allveterans over age 65, who
served either stateside or over-seas, by providing them a freetrip to visit their memorials inWashington, D.C. It is part of anational network founded in2005 that shares similar goals.
Women have been includedin past Honor Flights that werepredominantly men, but usuallyno more than five at a time,Popp said. It’s not that they don’twant to travel with the men,they just feel a little over-whelmed by it, she said.
“So we were approached bythe VA (Veterans Administra-tion) in the early winter. Theyhad been thinking about doing aflight (for women) and wantedto know if we would help,”Popps said. “We said, ‘whywould we help? Why don’t wejust do it?’”
Working with the VA, ar-rangements were made and in-vitations sent. Response to theflight was brisk with 250 appli-cations for 140-plus seats quick-ly arriving.
For the selection process,Popp said that they stayed withthe Honor Flight mission ofserving senior veterans overage 65 having top priority withyounger veterans under the age
of 40 serving as honor guards.“To be fair, we put them all in
alphabetical order by birthdateoldest to youngest,” she said.They then selected the 72 oldestand 72 youngest for the flightleaving a large group in the mid-dle disappointed.
Among those making the tripare Dorothy Harris of CollegeHill and Bonnie Rost of Groes-beck.
Harris is unique in that she’sserved in two differentbranches of the military. Aftershe graduated from high schoolshe joined the Navy.
“I found it to my liking andjoined it again and went into theArmy,” she said. Her first timearound, Harris said she was amedic with the Navy from 1958to 1961. She left for a few yearsto attend nursing school and re-enlisted with the Army andserved 1966 to 1968 as a nurse.She then joined the Reservesand retired from the militaryafter 24 years.
While with the Reserves, sheheld a civilian job spendingtime as an industrial nurse atGeneral Electric and then at

“The committee decid-ed to look at it as a trainingground for somebody whowants to hone in on theirtriathlon skills,” Collinssaid, “or if you are a first-timer, this is the event foryou. It’s a good way toease yourself into thetriathlon realm.”
The start, chip-timing,and stats are all beingmanaged by Speedy Feetrace-timing organization.Check online at www.lo-velandchamber.org forregistration and race cat-egories. More than 75 par-ticipants have alreadypre-registered. Collinssaid they expect 100-125participants by start timeon race day.
“It starts early in themorning,” she said. “Ourhope is people stickaround, have lunch, do
navigate our way throughputting on a fun event thathighlights the naturallandscape in Loveland.”
That is just one of twobig events kicking off Fallin Loveland. The week af-ter the Frogman Race, Mi-ami Township Towne Cen-ter will host the firstTowne Center Festivalfrom 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., Sat-urday, Sept. 26.
Collins said they’ve al-ways seen the desire foran event like this newtriathlon type FrogmanRace. The committee hasfinally been able to line upthe “right players” for amini-triathlon type event.Those “players” includesponsors like Bob Ronck-er’s Running Spot, Love-land Canoe & Kayak,
some shopping, enjoy oldhistoric Loveland and getto know the area.”
Getting to know thearea is the impetus behindlaunching the second fallkickoff event on consecu-tive weekends in Love-land in September. TheTown Center Festival willfeature Loveland AreaChamber businesses lo-cated in the Miami TowneCenter.
“This is very exciting,”Collins said. “It’s reallytaken off. It was time to dosomething. New business-es have come in and thatarea has just blossomed.”
Family and communitywill be the main theme.The festival will feature astage for performancesby Goddard School, PROMartial Arts and live mu-sic (Ben Peterson Band asthe feature act) along withsome live animals too (Mr.Cowpie Party Animalsmusic and petting zoo ani-mals). The children willenjoy a fun-filled areawith inflatables, face-painting, and arts &crafts.
“We have a full chil-dren’s area with all kindsof activities for kids,” Col-lins said. “The fire depart-ment will be out therewith different fun thingsfor kids. The Police De-partment will be out there
with their robots. Mr.Pluggy will be out there.”
Fun for the whole fam-ily goes beyond the kidsarea too. There will befood and drink for momand dad too. There will becraft beer, food and busi-ness booths and a gamefor the adults too. Not a lotof games, but a scavengerhunt which will send peo-ple searching for imagesin all the businesses with anice basket of prizes forthe winner at the end Ofcourse all the restaurantswill be open and servingfood throughout the day.
“It’s turning out to be anice community event,”Collins said. “I hope peo-ple from Miami Townshipcome out and see what agreat community thatarea is. I think it is thatgem not getting enoughattention from Milford orMiami Township.”

Ford Motor Co. Eventual-ly she worked with theVA.
Harris said she’s beento Washington, D.C., but islooking forward the up-coming Honor Flight andseeing the Monument toWomen Veterans and theVietnam Women’s Memo-rial.
She’s looking forwardto the “joy of seeing ev-erything there and meet-ing the other women andnetworking.” Harris saidshe’s also looking forwardto meeting other womenwho served in Vietnam.
“I would like to seenurses from other wars totalk to them about theirexperiences,” she said.
For Rost, the trip pre-sents an opportunity tovisit with other womenveterans a monument thatshe worked to help get inplace. She helped to raisefunds for the Monumentto Women Veterans as acharter member and fieldrepresentative for the
Women in the MilitaryService for America Me-morial.
Rost grew up duringWWII.
“My family was alwaysinvolved in the military,”she said. “They used theirmeat stamps to invite thesoldiers out of Ft. Thomasfor parties.”
Her own brother, Er-nest Cornelius, was sta-tioned in Hawaii with theArmy when Pearl Harborwas attacked.
“I felt very close to themilitary, especially sincemy brother was overthere,” she said.
As a little girl, she re-called seeing posters inthe post office supportingthe war effort. She longedto be on a poster (a dreamthat later in life was real-ized). A few years later,while on a trip to thebeach with her sister, she
saw the Navy ships out inthe harbor. It was thenthat she knew that shewould one day serve in theNavy.
After earning her nurs-ing degree and workingtwo years at CincinnatiGeneral Hospital, in 1956Rost seized her chance toenlist. She served in theNavy Reserve until re-ceiving the call for activeduty.
After her officer train-ing in New York, she setout on a cross country tripby car to her assignmentat San Diego Naval Hospi-tal.
Rost served in the mil-itary for several years be-fore leaving to start afamily. Her career as anurse continued, as didher service to her countryas a veteran. Her volun-teer activities over theyears include: 16 years as
a PTA legislation chair;three years working to ob-tain traffic lights for adangerous intersectionfor school children; in-volvement with the Wom-en in Military Service forAmerica Memorial com-mittee; former memberof the Governor's Adviso-ry Committee on WomenVeterans; member of theManagement AssistanceCouncil, VA HealthcareSystem of Ohio; and mem-ber of the Navy NurseCorps Association, Re-serve Officers' Associa-tion, AMVETS PostNo.1963, and associatemember of the KoreanWar Veterans Associa-tion.
This honor flight willhave a little differenttwist, Popp said. All of theguardians for this flightare veterans too.
“That never happens,”
she said.An exception was
made to include a few non-military individuals. Acouple of the senior veter-ans, ladies who are 98 and95, requested familymembers to accompanythem.
“I think it’s going to bevery special,” Popp saidof the flight.
While the expenses forthe senior veterans on theflight are all paid, theguardians must pay theirown passage, $440, unlesssponsors are found. Poppsaid one of the guardiansmaking the trip held afundraiser and madeenough money to sponsorherself and four otherguardians.
The contributions ofsponsors help offset thecosts for some of theguardians.

Volunteer time paid off bigfor Loveland Primary Schoolteam members who are work-ing to raise money for a new all-inclusive playground.
Each year the Amazing Char-ity Race offers area nonprofitagencies the opportunity toraise funds by participating asvolunteers in the race. Thisyear around 10 Loveland Pri-mary team members volun-teered with the hope to raisefunds for the playground initia-tive –Growing Tiger Cubs Needto PLAY! This year the AmazingCharity Race selected the non-profit to receive a $10,000 cashaward for their efforts.
“What an amazing surprisefor our students and our staff,”LPS Principal Kevin Fanchersaid.
“We are thrilled to know thatthe Amazing Charity Race orga-nizers believe in the mission ofour initiative, and invested inour Tiger Community.”
“It is almost beyond words,”Loveland Superintendent ChadHilliker said. “To receive such alarge donation that will directlyimpact our students is just won-derful. We appreciate all of ourstaff members who volun-teered their time to make thispossible, and we thank theAmazing Charity Race for thisgenerous donation.”
Loveland Area Chamber ofCommerce President Cee CeeCollins, who has helped spear-head the LPS playground initia-tive represented the school atthe awards ceremony at TheWorks Restaurant. Collins saidthe moment race organizersmade the$10,000 donation an-nouncement was one she will re-member.
"My eyes welled with tearsfrom both joy and shock," Col-lins said. “I couldn't wait to tellPrincipal Fancher and the edu-cators about the award. I wentto LPS the next day and present-ed them with the check, andthey couldn't have been happieror more surprised. They aresuch a great group of educatorsand staff. They really see theneed for the playground and arewilling to do what is needed tosee the project come to fruition.We are fortunate to have suchcaring teachers.”

The designation wasfor a Master School ResourceOfficer, and the recipient wasLoveland Police Officer FredBarnes, who has served Love-land City School District stu-dents in the capacity of schoolresource officer the past 13years.
“It was an honor to be a partof the formal ceremony recog-nizing the work of Officer FredBarnes,” Loveland Superinten-dent Chad Hilliker said, thank-ing council members for thecity’s continued support of theSRO position. “Officer Barnesis a valued member of our TigerFamily, and he deserves thisprestigious recognition. We ap-preciate all he does to help keep
our students safe.” In February, the Ohio School

» Mount Notre Dame con-tinues to strengthen its reputa-tion in science, technology, en-gineering and mathematics(STEM) education with the ad-dition of a second engineeringcourse.
Engineering Models is thefirst in a sequence of interdisci-plinary courses designed to de-velop strong problem-solvingtechniques and to illustrate howengineers use mathematics tosolve a variety of practical andoften complex problems.
The course will directly ap-
ply fundamental theory from al-gebra, trigonometry and calcu-lus to relevant engineering ap-plications chosen from a varie-ty of disciplines. MATLAB willbe used as a programming toolto enable students to explore en-gineering concepts, to investi-gate solutions to problems toocomplex for hand solutions, andto develop an appreciation ofthe power and limitations ofcomputer tools. The course in-cludes a multi-week design pro-ject with students working inteams and presenting their so-lutions to other student teams.The course is part of the CollegeCredit Plus Program with theUniversity of Cincinnati.
“I’m excited about offeringthis course at Mount NotreDame High School,” MND Sci-ence Department chair andSTEM coordinator MichelleShafer said. “This challengingcourse allows the young womenenrolled in it to be one stepahead of their peers. They willnot only learn the valuable skillof MATLAB programming butthey will also learn problem-solving skills that they will defi-nitely use in the real world. I’mso proud to be part of such astrong academic program thatis truly preparing the youngwomen to learn, live, lead andserve in a STEM career.”

My newest recipe taster is alwaysenthusiastic and very opinionated. Theexpression on her face is a dead give-away as to whether the food is accept-able or not.
I’m talking about Ellery, our young-est granddaughter, who will be 1-year-old next month. She’s at the age that’sso fun when it comes to trying newfoods. This week it’s apples and pearsand you can see from the photo thatthey made the cut!
Our apple trees are heavy with fruit, somaking applesauce was our “chore” for theday. Ellery’s 3-year-old sister, Emerson,helped scrub the apples clean, and mash themafter cooking.
I’m sharing the recipe for homemade ap-
plesauce because honestly, it really iseasy and so good for you. Think fiberand vitamin C. And the aroma of applesand cinnamon simmering on the stoveon a cool autumn day - need I say more?
Later on I’ll share my apple fritterrecipe, a family favorite.
I’m also happy to give you JuneCross’ heirloom goetta recipe. Yes, it’sthat time of year again when home-made goetta is being made in our Com-munity kitchens.

Start harvest season with homemade applesauceRita’s homemadeapplesauce
Use whatever apples you like. Amix of sweet and tart is OK. I added afew pears. If you leave skins on redapples, they tint the applesauce apretty pink. Ditto with dried cherries orcranberries.
Prep for cooking:I like to rinse them in a combina-
tion of equal parts clear vinegar towater, which removes bacteria andtoxins. Swish around, rinse and dry.Whether you peel or not is up to you. Idon’t peel since the fruit comes fromour trees. Cut into small chunks.
On stovetop:Place fruit in pan and barely cover
with liquid, either water, cider or applejuice. Bring to a boil, cover, lower to asimmer and cook only until fruit can bemashed with a potato masher or pu-reed. This won’t take long. The less youcook the fruit, the more vitamins re-main.
Other:Sprayed crockpot or microwave.After cooking:Puree chunky or smooth. Use a
potato masher, blender or food proces-sor. If I add dried fruit, I’ll mash byhand. If using blender, blend a smallamount since hot apples build upsteam.
To sweeten:I don’t, but that’s up to you.Other nice add-ins:
Cinnamon, apple pie spiceRaisins, dried cranberries or
cherriesButternut squash/pumpkinSweet potatoes
Refrigerate:Up to 4 daysFreeze:Up to 3 monthsTo can:Process in boiling water bath.
Pints take 15 minutes, quarts take 20.Shelf life is 1 year.

Sept. 9 questionIf you could meet Pope Francis
when he visits the United Statesthis month, what would you askhim or say to him?
“I would thank Pope Francisfor finally bringing the mes-sage of Jesus into Christianityand taking it away from theGOP’s message of hate and ex-clusion. I would also encouragehim to keep speaking truth topower, because eventually thetruth of God will win out overthe current state of unfettered,Godless capitalism.”

“Holy Father, Obama doesnot want the poor to work, hejust wants them to count on himso he can be the king of the Unit-
ed States of America, but I amsure will try to change the nameof our country.”

“May God always guide youand bless you and will youplease bless me? Amen.”

“I would ask the Pope hisview on why the church allowedsuch a massive pedophile dis-ease to fester in the church forso long and why they swept it allunder the carpet instead of end-ing it many, many years ago. Myfollow on questions would cen-
ter on why, once they finallystarted doing something aboutthe problem in the US, it took somany more years to acknowl-edge and resolve the same is-sues in Europe. I know a basictenant of the Roman Catholicfaith is forgiveness of sins, buthow can the Pope give forgive-ness to the perpetrators and en-ablers of such heinous crimes?”

“Why do you put a priest in aparish where he does not sup-port the school? We had a well-established church and school.The new priest came in and did
everything he could to close theschool. The school closed andeveryone affiliated with theschool went to other parishes.Why support a parish where thepriest does not support theschool? People got mad and leftthe parish. We went from fourMasses on Sunday down to two.The people who left did not sup-port the festival and we couldnot get workers. This was one ofthe reasons we no longer have afestival. It’s too late now to helpLittle Flower Church. Mount Ai-ry was built around the parish.”

Four years before LaborDay became a national holi-day, Ohio’s legislature estab-lished a day of celebration tohonor workers throughoutOhio. When this legislationwas enacted in 1890, a combi-nation of Ohio’s abundantnatural resources and accessto interstate transportationthrough its network of canalsand railroads made Ohio theideal location for industry.
Labor Day is about morethan retail discounts and along weekend; it is a tributeto our workforce’s ability tocontinue to adapt successful-ly to ever changing indus-tries and technology.
Today, college graduatesoften find it difficult to com-pete for jobs while employersthroughout Ohio struggle tofind qualified workers to fillthe in-demand and high pay-ing jobs they have available.In order to continue to thrive,we must create and promotemore training opportunities
for newworkerswhile alsoprovidingprograms toenhance theskills of ex-isting work-ers.
ShapingOhio’s work-force for the21st century
requires our partners in high-er education and workforcetraining to work togetherwith state government andprivate sector leaders so thatmore Ohioans are able tosucceed in the workforce.This is why the Ohio Senatehas made jobs and opportuni-ty our highest priority.
Thanks to the collabora-tive efforts of Gov. Kasichand leaders in the Ohio Gen-eral Assembly, Ohio has cre-ated more than 360,000 newprivate sector jobs since2010. According to the Ohio
Department of Jobs and Fam-ily Services, Ohio’s unem-ployment rate is less than 5percent, outperforming thenational average of 5.3 per-cent. We have come a longway but jobs and opportunitymust remain our primaryfocus in order to ensure thatOhio remains an excellentplace to live, work and raise afamily.
Ohio is fortunate to haveso many talented workerswho contribute to the state’sgrowing economy. As yourstate senator, I will continueto fight for a strong, safe andprosperous workforce. I hopethat you and your familyenjoy a wonderful Labor Dayweekend.

In 2008, the Institute ofMedicine reported that chil-dren who ate school lunchesconsumed few fruits and veg-etables and high amounts ofsaturated fat and sodium,which prompted changes inthe National School Lunchprogram.
In 2012, after 15 years of nomajor changes, the U.S. De-partment of Agriculture (US-DA) improved school lunchesby providing nutritionallybalanced, low-cost or freeschool lunches to help raisehealthier children.
The current meal patternfor school lunches increasesthe availability of fruits, vege-tables and whole grains on theschool menu, specifies calorielimits to ensure age-appropri-ate portions, reduces theamount of saturated fat, trans-fats and sodium found inmeals. While school lunchesmust meet federal meal re-quirements, decisions aboutwhich foods to serve and howto prepare them are made bylocal school food authorities.
Each state administers thefederally assisted NationalSchool Lunch Program, whichoperates in public and privateschools. Schools that choose toparticipate in the lunch pro-gram get cash subsidies andUSDA purchased foods foreach meal they serve. In re-turn, these schools must servelunches that meet meal pat-tern and nutrition standardsbased on the latest DietaryGuidelines for Americans and
For manyparents,schoollunches arean inexpen-sive, conve-nient way toensure their
child is eating balanced meals.To help ensure nutritiousmeals do not go to waste, par-ents can help by reviewingschool lunch menus with theirchildren. If a child is not in-terested in the foods beingoffered, then a packed lunchmay be the best option; how-ever, parents need to be mind-ful of what is getting packedfor lunch.
According to researchpublished in the Nov. 24, 2014,issue of JAMA Pediatrics,lunches packed at home areoften low in fruits, vegetables,and whole grains and high insodium, fat and sugar.
Suggestions on ways topack healthy, balanced, andinteresting lunches:
» Plan lunches together toteach child how to makehealthy choices.
» Encourage children tomake their own lunches.
» Allow children to addhealthy foods to the family’sgrocery list.
» Buy fun, insulated lunchbags and thermoses to allowfor chilled and warmed foods
to be packed.» Work through picky eat-
ing by trying new foods andcontinuing to offer refusedfoods.
» Prepare foods in a funway, such as making ants on alog, which is celery stuffedwith peanut butter and raisinsplaced on top.
A healthy packed lunchincludes:
» whole grains;» healthy source of protein
like nuts, beans, or lean meats;» fruit and/or vegetables;» low fat dairy serving;» water for hydration.Examples of healthy lunch
box meals:» peanut butter sandwich
on whole grain bread, grapes,yogurt and water;
» hummus, fresh cut vege-tables to dip in hummus,whole wheat crackers, cheesestick and water;
» chicken salad made withsliced cherry tomatoes andshredded cheese in wholewheat pita pocket, apple, andwater;

Twenty-seven years beforethe Americans with DisabilitiesAct passed in 1990, Envisionopened its doors because agroup of parents shared adream that their children withdevelopmental disabilitieswould have the opportunity togo to school and be included intheir community.
That dream was markedwith the harsh reality that noservices or funding existed forsuch a dream to come true. Forthose parents, the ADA was amilestone that seemed unlikely– if not impossible – back in1963.
Public support for peoplewith disabilities has continuedto expand, first in 1975 whenfederal law established theright to education. Then, theADA opened many more doorsas it broke down barriers foremployment, housing, schools,transportation, and all publicspaces. It has opened hearts,changed minds, and improvedlives for the 20 percent of ourcommunity who live, thrive,and survive their disability. Asour boomers grow into theirsenior years, the number ofpeople affected with a disabil-ity will only continue to rise,making the ADA a truly smartinvestment in our community –something we can all celebrateon this silver anniversary!
Of course, there is alwaysmore work to be done. Formany of the individuals Envi-sion supports, meeting basicneeds is a challenge given theirvery low income. It is commonfor those with developmentaldisabilities to rely on Supple-mental Security Income (SSI)alone – $733 per month. Yet,
2015 HUD datafound that thelocal averagerent for a one-bedroom apart-ment is $579.
Imaginerelying on $154to cover alladditionalliving ex-penses. Itleaves many
gaps. Agencies, like Envision,who support these individualsare then dependent upon agenerous community to addthose things that make all ourlives more fun and memorable– outings in the summer, giftsduring the holidays, a simplebirthday celebration, or eventhe opportunity to have a cup ofcoffee with an old friend.
Community support is alsoessential beyond a financialcapacity. A community thatembraces individuals withdisabilities sends a psycholog-ical message that people withdevelopmental disabilities arevalued. That work to furtherpublic support of those withdisabilities is important. Thatstaff and family members whodedicate their careers and livesto caring for people with dis-abilities are not alone. And thatis priceless.
To all supporters of individ-uals with disabilities – past,present, and future – thankyou! You make a difference.

CINCINNATI — He didn’tappear in the box score, but aformer Loveland High SchoolTiger got into the game Sept. 5when the University of Cincin-nati made its triumphant returnto Nippert Stadium.
Redshirt freshman tight endJake Elfers, a proud member ofLoveland’s Division II 2013state champions, was a listedparticipant in the Bearcats 52-10 rout of Alabama A&M. It washis first official football gamesince the snow-filled Tigerchampionship against Cleve-land Glenville about 21 monthsago.
As a walk-on, he wasn’t offi-cially on UC’s roster last season,but did attend games.
“It was a different experi-ence, especially coming from astate championship high schoolteam and playing such a bigrole,” Elfers said. “I couldn’tparticipate, travel or dress atall. It was different, but it wasgood to learn the offense on thesideline from some great lead-ers.”
Back on the field wearingNo. 89, Elfers is currently thirdin the tight end mix behind ju-nior D.J. Dowdy and sophomoreTyler Cogswell. As a senior atLoveland, Elfers was actuallythe team’s top receiver with 17catches for 164 yards in 2013.
In the postseason, he had 10more receptions for 126 yards
and a pair of scores. One ofthem came in the snow at Can-ton against Glenville.
“It was a fairy tale,” Elferssaid of the blustery night. “You
couldn’t write a script betterthan that. I’m thankful for ev-erything about it. I appreciateand treasure it and I still thinkabout it today.”
Two seasons removed, Elfersstill keeps in contact with Love-land coach Fred Cranford. TheTigers were unable to advancepast the regular season last
year and struggled out of thegate this season. Though the2013 class set the bar very high,he hopes to see Loveland in theplayoffs again.
Perhaps more difficult thanwatching Loveland miss thetournament last season was notbeing able to suit up for a year.Elfers and several others nowon the UC roster had to bidetheir time and watch from a dis-tance.
“When you sit out, it teachesyou how much you appreciatethe game,” Elfers said. “Youdon’t know what you have untilit’s taken away from you. I’mhungry. Hungry would be an un-derstatement.”
When he officially left Love-land in cap and gown, the for-mer Tiger pass-catcher and bas-ketball center had 195 poundson his 6-foot-4 frame. Now, he’sup to 235 pounds and growing asthe youngest tight end on theteam.
“When you’re third in line,you’re one snap away, especial-ly in a two tight end set,” Elferssaid. “D.J. (Dowdy)’s a greatguy and Tyler (Cogswell) is agreat backup. I’ve learned a lotfrom both of them on and off thefield. I’m ready to go when myname’s called.”
As his eligibility clock juststarted this season, Elfers hasthis fall and three more to cometo return to the coveted endzone.

LOVELAND —Cincinnati Summer Box LacrosseLeague men’s action wrapped up Aug. 9 at the Out-door Box Lacrosse Arena in Symmes Township, asunbeaten and top seed Traditional Lacrosse took ontwo-time defending champions Loveland in theleague Final.
Traditional Lacrosse, sponsored by TraditionalLacrosse Co. from the Akwesasne Reservation inCanada, came out on top with a 10-9 win to remainunbeaten (10-0) and take their first-ever league title.
“We knew it was going to be a tough game. Lots ofgood teams made the playoffs, but the Lovelandguys were gunning for us and I had a feeling if wegot them in the Finals, it was going to close,” saidteam captain Mike Riggall (Bishop Ludden/PotsdamState).
Traditional Lacrosse wielded a supercharged of-fense that averaged 20-plus goals per game and fea-tured some of the most potent offensive weaponsCincinnati-area lacrosse has produced in the last 10years. Former University of Delaware standout at-tackman Sean Finegan led scoring with six points(four goals/two assists), with additional offense gen-erated by current college standouts Adam Osika(Mason/University of Albany), Quinn Collison(Moeller/Bucknell) and Declan O’Grady (Mason/John Carroll University).
Facing all that firepower, Loveland knew theirtransition players would have to step up to preventbreakaway opportunities, and their defense had to

KENWOOD — As MoellerHigh School students solemnlyrearranged the paper cups onthe practice field fence to read,“Beat Xenia,” Thomas MacVit-tie was rehabbing his knee witha purpose.
Injured in Moeller’s openingwin against Indianapolis Cathe-dral Aug. 2, the highly-toutedquarterback hopes to recoverfrom his PCL strain sufferedjust after halftime to return byweek four.
“I’m hoping for Bosco,” hesaid. “It’s like 70 percent. Thenback for X for sure.”
The Crusaders play Don Bos-co Prep out of New Jersey atLockland’s Roettger StadiumSept. 18, then return to NippertStadium Sept. 25 at the Univer-sity of Cincinnati for their annu-al showdown with St. Xavier.
It was the first major footballinjury for the 6-foot-4, 215-pound quarterback, who wasMatt Crable’s understudy lastseason.
“The last play of the first halfI got hit on my left knee and Ikind of felt something,” MacVit-
tie said. “I walked off and itwent away. Then, in the firstplay of the third quarter, I wasoutside and planted with my leftand it gave out.”
Oddly enough, in Moeller’snext game against Wayne, EvanErnst was injured around half-time and junior Peter Lamperthad to come in and direct Moell-er. Down 24-6 at the half, Lam-

SPRINGFIELD TWP.— St. Xavier High Schoolhas always commandedrespect, especially in wa-ter. The Bombers’ waterpolo program is no excep-tion.
In only its fifth season,St. Xavier’s water poloprogram has 45 players —the most they’ve ever had.
“I think we have thelargest team ever in thehistory of Ohio,” fifth-year head coach MikeRoberts said.
They don’t simply havea large roster, the Bomb-ers can compete with thebest, which should comeas no surprise consider-ing the rich tradition inwater at St. Xavier.
Last season, the Bomb-ers finished third in thestate and the year priorthey were second.
Three seniors — MacBrielmaier, Alex Puthoffand Nate Jonas — are re-turning starters for theBombers.
Juniors Patrick Hudak,Charles Leibson and Gor-don Wheeler comprisewhat Roberts called a“very fast team.”
The offense runsthrough Hudak, the two-meter man, while the oth-er five field players —called drivers — drive theball into an opponent’s ter-
ritory in an attempt tobeat defenders down thewater for scoring oppor-tunities. The Bombershave two sophomoresgaining experience ingoal, Roberts said. St. Xgraduated an All-Ohiogoalie from last year.
“It’s a group with expe-rience,” said Roberts.“Last year we graduatedone four-year player andwe’d never had a four-year player before. Thisyear, we have multiplefour-year and three-yearplayers who know thegame and have experi-ence. There is no one withthe exception of maybe
Alex Puthoff who reallystands above the others.We have depth, we can putin the second team and notfall off much in our com-petitive play.”
Roughly 70 percent ofthe water polo team alsoswims for St. X, Robertssaid, “some of that num-ber are kids who swim be-cause they want to swimand be better conditionedfor water polo … it kind offills a period of the yearwhen many kids aren’tswimming.”
In late September, St.Xavier will travel toReading, Pa., to face someeast coast elite programs.

Thunder-hawk’s Alec Ventrola thenlanded a goal from abreakaway in the first 10minutes. Thunderhawkslater scored a second goalin the first half. Zach Rob-bins deflected two shotsover the goal in the secondhalf but the Thunder-hawks landed a third goal

disrupt any settled offensive situa-tions. After suffering their only loss ofthe year to Traditional, a 24-16 run andgun fest in the season opener, Loveland(8-2) used easy wins in the playoffs toexperiment with different defensiveschemes that might be effectiveagainst Traditional.
“We tried out a few looks on defenseduring the semifinals - zone, box andone - but ultimately we decided to stickwith what we do best,” said Matt Dowd(Loveland/University of Dayton), a for-mer college All-American and the 2012MCLA DII preseason Player of theYear. “We stayed with in-your-face,physical, hard-nose defense. No onecuts through the middle, no one gets aneasy shot, and absolutely no onescreens our goalie without getting relo-cated.”
While the Loveland defense was suc-cessful in holding the highest scoringoffense in the history of the league toless than 50 percent of their usual out-put, the Loveland offense was consis-tently stumped by outstanding play ofTraditional goalie Mike Riggall, whose24 saves in the final earned him MVP.
Traditional forward Sean Finegannoted how important their transitionplayers were in setting up Riggall to
shine. “O’Grady and Osika were key for us
in transition, getting up and down thebox, giving those guys just enough trou-ble to force lots of less than ideal shots,even on breakaways,” Finegan said.“Box is such a game of inches; we justweren’t giving them any quality looks,and with Riggall red-hot in the cage,they just couldn’t get it past him.”
The Loveland offense was led by Ty-ler Oblong (Loveland/Essex CC) andCorey Cotsonas (Loveland/Ohio Uni-versity) with three goals each.
Loveland started the game strong,battling to a 4-4 tie at the end of the firstperiod. But by the end of the second, theTraditional offense had opened up atwo-goal lead, which held through mostof the third and final period. Lovelandbattled back with less than two minutesto go, scoring a two-on-one breakawaygoal to pull within one.
After a Traditional shot and a save byLoveland keeper Sean Murphy (St. Xa-vier/Irish Nationals), Loveland burneda timeout with :20 seconds left to pulltheir goalie and create an extra man ad-vantage to try to tie the game.
Despite two quality shots, Riggall’sMVP performance was just too strongbetween the pipes, fending off theLoveland man advantage with two keysaves. Time expired, and TraditionalLacrosse celebrated as the 2015 Cincin-nati Summer Box Lacrosse LeagueMen’s Division Champions.

pert rallied the Crusaders to 24-22 andthey had a chance at the end after re-covering an onside kick.
While that game didn’t work out forMoeller, it did provide MacVittie with alearning experience as he hovered nearthe benches on crutches.
“It was terrible, but I was still get-ting people fired up on the sidelines,”MacVittie said. “I saw how importantleading the offense was and how impor-tant it was being vocal. You always haveto be in command and getting feedbackfrom people. You need to be encourag-ing.”
As a receiver last year, MacVittiehad 12 catches for 164 yards in eightgames. When he did play at quarter-back, he was 8-9 passing for 59 yardsand two scores and ran the ball for 65yards.
He first started getting looks as asignal-caller as a sophomore and quick-ly was on everyone’s radar. In the end,Pitt, with new coach Pat Narduzzi, con-vinced MacVittie to be a Panther. Nar-duzzi was defensive coordinator at theUniversity of Cincinnati under MarkDantonio and followed him to MichiganState.
Pitt is Narduzzi’s first head coachingjob and MacVittie is anxious to play inHeinz Field in the Steel City.
“I visited there and didn’t know whatto expect,” MacVittie said.

LGI CFO clients inlight manufacturing, dis-tribution, logistics, ser-vices and contractinghave been steadily in-creasing. Lumley said hehas seen a recent uptick inwomen-run and women-owned business clients.
“Another reason weare growing is that we aredoing a great job for thosewho refer business to us,”Lumley said. “We’ve gotexperienced, talentedCFOs working for us, sowe have a lot of thingsworking together.”
Lumley started hisbusiness in 1990, when hesaw the need for compa-nies that required a CFOskill set, but didn’t call forpaying a full time CFO sal-ary for that position.
“I saw the opportunityfor that position to be out-sourced,” Lumley said.“Companies can save 60
to 80 percent of the cost ofa full-time CFO by out-sourcing the position.”
LGI CFO employs fiveCFO advisors and is look-ing to hire a sixth. It hasprovided financial man-agement services for hun-dreds of privately-heldand family-owned busi-nesses and nonprofits.For information, go towww.lgicfo.com, or con-tact Lumley [email protected] or(513) 576-9880.

Sam and Ellen Flan-nery of Loveland learnedtheir daughter, Shayna,had retinoblastoma atonly 5 months of age.
Eighteen years later,thanks to innovative can-cer research, Shayna iscancer-free and graduat-ed from Ursuline Acad-emy May 24.
Now, she plans to advo-cate for pediatric cancerresearch on Capitol Hill inJune and attend MiamiUniversity in the fall.
Meanwhile, Cancer-Free KIDS, the nonprofitlaunched by the Flan-nerys after Shayna’s diag-nosis and treatment, an-nounced its annual re-search grants June 3when $401,000 was award-ed to cancer researchersat a special reception atCincinnati Children’sHospital. At the event, do-nors and fundraisers willhave a chance to learnabout the exact researchproject they helped fund.
“Funding for biomedi-cal research in the USAhas declined in recentyears, and funding for pe-diatric cancer is especial-ly low,” said Dr. LeeGrimes, a cancer re-searcher at CincinnatiChildren’s Hospital Medi-cal Center. “Therefore,CancerFree KIDS’ fund-ing is an important factorin the success of Cincin-nati Children’s research-ers in garnering NationalCancer Institute support,by providing critical pre-liminary data to convincereviewers of the impor-tance and feasibility of re-search proposals targetedat children’s cancer.”
Having understood thegap in research from per-sonal experience, execu-tive director Ellen Flan-nery founded CancerFreeKIDS on the day ShaynaFlannery entered kinder-garten. A 501(c)3, Cancer-Free KIDS provides seedfunding for promising re-
search that can lead to acure or gentler treat-ments for children withcancer. Since its founding,CancerFree KIDS has do-nated nearly $2.3 millionto fund research thatmight otherwise go un-funded.
This year, CancerFreeKIDS is awarding$401,000 in grants for in-novative cancer research,with $296,000 going toCincinnati Children’sHospital Medical Centerresearchers, and the restto Nationwide Children’sHospital in Columbus,Ohio, and University ofMiami in Florida. Thegrant recipients are work-ing on everything fromnew approaches to treat-ing pediatric brain tu-mors to how bad cells de-velop into leukemia. Can-cerFree KIDS’ fundingcame from 4000 individ-ual public donors, with 100percent of donations go-ing straight to cancer re-
search.To inspire others to join
the cause, Shayna and El-len traveled to Washing-ton, D.C., June 15 as partof the Childhood CancerAlliance, where they re-ceived advocacy trainingand spoke to their Con-gressional representa-tives about making child-hood cancer research anational priority and the
critical need for in-creased funding.
“I’m excited to speak toour representatives onCapitol Hill to lobby formore funding for pediat-ric cancer research,”Shayna said, noting, thatonly 4 percent of the Na-tional Cancer Institute’sbudget goes to childhoodcancer research.
“I’m living proof it can
work.”“When Shayna was
first diagnosed with can-cer, I wasn’t able to dreamabout her going to col-lege,” Ellen said. “Now,her future is limitlessthanks to cancer re-search. We work hard ev-ery day so that kids likeher can be guaranteed afuture that is cancer-free.”

Does your landscape co-exist orcompete with nature? Create abeautiful yard and sustainablehome for local species with plantsfrom the Great Parks annual nativetree and shrub sale.
The sale features 24 speciesgrown from locally collected seeds,including maples, oaks, pawpaw,holly and spicebush. Trees andshrubs are $25 each. Orders must beplaced by Sept. 18, with pickup Sat-urday, Sept. 26, from any of thethree Great Parks’ Nature’s NicheGifts and Books stores: Farbach-Werner Nature Preserve, WoodlandMound and Sharon Woods.
Compared with manicured lawnsand mulched tree, shrub and peren-
nial plantings, landscapes plantedwith native plants require lessmaintenance. They are alreadyadapted to the Midwest’s cold win-ters and hot, dry summers and re-quire less watering. Plus they pro-vide habitat for local bugs, birds andwildlife.
A valid Great Parks of HamiltonCounty motor vehicle permit ($10annual; $3 daily) is required to enterthe parks. Armleder and FernbankParks are cooperative ventureswith the Cincinnati Park Board; amotor vehicle permit is not re-quired.
