A long and healthy life. That’s the goal of the Hamil-

ton County Public Health Dis-trict’s WeThrive project.

WeThrive is a countywidemovement 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, while

Hamilton 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 collected

by 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 resolutions

and selecting a pathway basedon the health assessment infor-mation. Then the groups devel-op action plans, and begin im-plementing sustainable health-promoting initiatives.

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 enhancing

nutrition 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 HamiltonCounty districts adopted com-petitive foods policies, reaching105,000 students in HamiltonCounty.

Here’s how communities are

engaged in the WeThriveprogram.

Forest ParkIn Forest Park, Fire Lt.

Jermaine Hill is the big-gest cheerleader.

The fire department isengaged in the We Thriveprogram. Hill’s activitieswork toward health, he’sactive in local fire and in-jury prevention and hascreated innovative publiceducation programs inwhich community mem-bers regularly partici-pate.

One example is a freediabetes screening pro-gram in conjunction withthe YMCA that happenedin February.

“We have programsthat encourage our resi-dents to live healthierlives,” he said. “We wantto keep offering them.”

Forest Park City Coun-cil officially became aWeThrive community inOctober 2014, when For-est Park City Counciladopted the WeThriveoverall and communityhealth resolutions, solidi-fying the city’s commit-ment to achieve a healthycommunity.

Team Members includ-ed Hill, Patricia Bacchus,Councilwoman SheilaCottle, Recreation Coordi-nator Taffy Jackson, FireChief Alfie Jones, Rosa-lind Moore, Bettye Mor-gan, Sandy Sanders, Hu-man Resources DirectorTye Smith, Janet Steele,James Ward, and KatrinaWyche.

The team selected the

Community Healthy path-way, and Hill says theWeThrive initiative fitswell with other programsin which he is interested,such as the FirefighterFitness Challenge withstudents from the WintonWoods City School Dis-trict.

Hamilton County as-signed a team of epidemi-ologists to study ForestPark’s health data to de-termine its biggest areasof concern. On April 22,the data was shared withmembers of the commu-nity in the Forest ParkCouncil Chambers.

If you are interested inlearning more about thestudy or contributing tothe WeThrive Forest Parkgroup, please contact Hillat 513-595-5291 or visitwww.watchusthrive.org.

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

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

GlazeWhisk together:

1-1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar1⁄2 teaspoon almond extract or 2 teaspoons vanilla3-4 tablespoons 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.

Mr. Kevin Celarek makesvalid points in his op-edpiece in the May 27 edition.However, I would like toexamine this issue beyondthe usual platitudes.

Policing is a career, not ajob where someone lands inhopes of eking out a living.Despite of its dangers anddifficulties, there seems tobe no shortage of men andwomen who aspire to thiscareer. What makes a ca-reer that resulted in 127deaths of its practitioners sopopular?

According to author EricBerne in his landmarkstudy on human psychology,“The Games People Play,”people unconsciously putthemselves in situationswhere they can conductpsychological transactionsthat address their personal,psychological needs. Fur-ther, these psychologicalneeds become imprinted onpeople in early childhood,before the child is equippedto recognize or defend her-self from unhealthy behav-iors.

I would like to believethat most police officershave a highly developed

sense ofcommunityand duty,and it is thisthat drawsthem topolicing. Is itpossible thatothers arenot so highlymotivated?Perhapssome copsneed the

authority being a cop af-fords them. Perhaps every-thing they do is done toaddress an essential flawthat renders them unfit fortheir job.

Good cop/bad cop is notjust an interrogation strate-gy from TV. Can we assumeit is a fact of life in policingas it is in all careers? Youhave an encounter with abad accountant, and youlose your money. Appar-ently if you drive past apolice station and your carbackfires, a police officermay jump on the hood ofyour car and fire 15 roundsinto you through your wind-shield with impunity (Cleve-land).

I recall a scene from the

movie “The Departed” fea-turing a discussion betweena police psychologist and anundercover cop: The copasks if other cops ever seekthe console of the psycholo-gist. She answers, “Surethey do, especially if theyhave had to use their weap-ons.” The undercover copreplies, “They signed up touse their weapons. Theyjust know from TV thatthey are supposed to act allbroken up over it. There isno one so full of it as a cop.”

Police misconduct, cor-ruption and brutality arenot new. These are real andpersistent issues that mustbe addressed until the unfitcan find no place in polic-ing. Until the good cops stepup and stop protecting thebad ones, we will have to beas aggressive and mercilessin rooting out those badones as are the cops them-selves when they draw theirweapons.

June 3 questionThe Ohio legislature is considering

moving the state’s 2016 primary backa week so that the state has “more in-fluence” in presidential nominations.Is this a good idea? Why or why not?

“Move the 2016 primary back oneweek to enable ‘more influence?’ Intwo words: who cares? Nationalelections are won or lost in thepress, on TV and on the Internet. Itsimply does not matter which statehas the first primary or the largestprimary or the most contested pri-mary. The only things that matterare which candidate has the mostmoney in his or her coffers and howvideo friendly are their face andtheir ability to read a speech off ofthe teleprompter. Nail down themoney and read a speech like a welloiled actor and even a minimally ef-fective community organizer canbecome president of the UnitedStates. Scary and sad, but true.”

M.J.F.

“I’m not enough of a ‘marketer’to really understand this move.Since all of the parties are primarilymore worried about ‘press impact,’a sad note, to me, I’ll leave the wis-dom of the move to the ‘political ex-perts’ who rely on the latest pollsrather than worrying about wheth-er the voters understand issues. Itseems a little arrogant, but percep-tive, that most eligible voters won’tlook at issues or problems, only thepress release.”

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’S QUESTIONWhat should Cincinnati city leadersand residents do to curtail the recenttrends of gun-related crimes in thecity?

Every week we ask readers a question theycan reply to via email. Send your answers tonorthwestpress@community press.com withCh@troom in the subject line.

As health commissioner,I could write columns, sendflyers, or talk to youthrough the media, contin-ually telling you that we eatand smoke too much anddon’t get enough exercise.

I could share studies anddata illustrating the illsawaiting us as a result ofour less-than-healthy life-styles. Or, I could engageyou and your communitiesto make substantive, long-lasting policy and infra-structure changes to en-courage healthy practices.Which tactic do you thinkwould be most successful?

Hopefully, you willagree that the latter ap-proach is most effective. Ifso, you and your communi-ty are prime candidates tojoin the WeThrive move-ment, making healthy prac-tices part of your communi-ty vernacular.

WeThrive is a county-wide movement of commu-nity partners, schools, busi-nesses, places of worship,elected officials and resi-dents working together tomake healthy living easierand healthy practices partof your daily routine. Themovement focuses on in-creasing access to healthyeating and physical activ-ity, while decreasing tobac-co use and exposure tosecondhand smoke. WeTh-rive is about making lastingchanges that keep commu-nities healthy for genera-tions.

We are working tochange the paradigms in-herent in delivering healthymessaging and program-ming to Hamilton County.Rather than talk aboutchange, our team jumps

directly inwith com-munityteams ded-icated toaddressingsome of themost com-mon butpreventablehealth is-sues facingus today.

WeThrive engages commu-nity leadership throughfour distinct pathways:chronic disease, environ-mental health, communityhealth, and emergencypreparedness.

Participating communi-ties adopt resolutions, orga-nize teams, select a path-way and then get to workimproving their health andpreparedness. Each com-munity team works at itsown pace and implementsthe changes necessary toachieve healthier goals,while Hamilton CountyPublic Health staff pro-vides community-levelhealth data, lends experi-ence and helps guide theprocess.

Since we launched theWeThrive initiative in 2008,we have seen substantialchange in some of the par-ticipating communities.Parks and areas for phys-ical play and recreationhave been developed. Gar-dens have sprung up inseveral communitiesaround the County. Schoolsand childcare facilitieshave adopted healthy eat-ing and smoke-free pol-icies. School districts havecarved out safe ways forchildren to get some exer-cise while walking to

school. And perhaps mostimportant, people are in-corporating healthy prac-tices into everyday living.

There are 19 HamiltonCounty communities partic-ipating in the WeThriveinitiative. That is approxi-mately half of the commu-nities served by HamiltonCounty Public Health.Imagine the health benefitswe could affect together ifour communities lined upbehind one or more of thepathways to health identi-fied by WeThrive.

Imagine the county-widereduction in obesity andsubsequently the prevent-able diseases associatedwith obesity, if we couldimplement healthy eatingand exercise programs inthe communities with themost to gain. Think aboutthe health improvement forour younger generation asthey grow up with healthyeating, exercise and tobac-co reduction as part of theireveryday routines. Thisyear, for the first time, wecan work with communitiesto develop and implementemergency preparednessprograms to round out acommunity’s public healthofferings.

Will you consider joiningus as we work to makehealthy choices easierchoices? Give RebeccaStowe a call at 513-946-7845and she will be happy towork with you to assemblea team to start thriving inyour community.

Spring sports are starting! Base-ball, soccer, track…everyone isoutside again and having fun inwarmer weather. As sports get go-ing in the spring, I always see anincrease in injuries and pain.

As director of sports medicine atCincinnati Children’s, I see manyyoung athletes in clinic who havenew back pain related to their sport.Up to 30 percent of athletes willhave back pain at some point whileplaying sports. It is one of the mostcommon things we see in sportsmedicine clinics and on the sideline.

Most back pain is not serious andgoes away with little treatment.Gently stretching and strengtheningthe lower back and abdominal mus-cles, as well as avoiding activitiesthat are really painful for the backis usually all it takes.

But, when the pain is severe,limits what the athlete can do, orpersists for more than a few weeks,a doctor with specialized training inback injuries should evaluate theathlete to determine the cause of thepain and treat it accordingly.

Lower back painThe lower back, or lumbar spine,

is the most common area of backpain in athletes. Pain usually occursfrom bone, muscle or disc problems.The most common cause of lowerback pain in young athletes is astress fracture-a bone injury. Thesecond most common cause is amuscle strain of the lower back.

» The lower back is a main powergenerator in many sports and can beoverstressed if strength, coordina-tion, or overuse is a problem, result-ing in the gradual onset of backpain.

» Injuries to the lower back in asports practice or event occur withtrauma, either by a fall or too muchforce placed on the low back. Thisresults in the sudden onset of backpain that often prevents the athletefrom completing the sports event.

» Athletes in certain sports are at

higher risk forback injuries. Ex-amples are football,gymnastics, anddance. The me-chanical demandsof these sportsmake the low backvulnerable to over-use or quick onsetof back pain.

The cause ofback pain in chil-

dren and adolescents is often verydifferent in adults. Adults deal withmore disc pain, which is not a com-mon problem for children and ado-lescents. At Cincinnati Children’sHospital Medical Center SportsMedicine, we understand this andassess the whole patient while form-ing a diagnosis and treatment plan.

Treatment and recoveryTreatment of a lower back stress

fracture involves 2-3 months ofallowing the bone(s) to heal, just likeany other broken bone. Varioustypes of imaging are sometimesdone to help guide treatment course.

Muscle injuries in the lower backare most often treated with stretch-es, progressive strengthening exer-cises, and comfort measures (ex-amples: anti-inflammatory drugs fora short period of time, ice, heat).Athletic trainers or physical thera-pists trained in back injuries arehelpful with this rehab.

All lower back injuries requiresome rest to aid the healing process.We understand that this time ofresting from painful activities canbe frustrating for the athlete, andwe work with the athlete to makesure the back heals properly, allow-ing the athlete to return to regularsports activity as soon and success-fully as possible.

COLUMBUS — Entering theDivision I state championshipgame against Upper Arling-ton, St. Xavier had outscoredits opponents by a combined68-11.

After the win against Moell-er in the regional final, seniorattacker Jack Perez said theBombers like to start fast andpreach that the game is decid-ed in the first five minutes.

Fortunately for the Bomb-ers, that wasn’t the case as Up-per Arlington scored the firstthree goals of the game. How-ever, St. X fought its way backto supplant the defending statechampion 7-6.

Perez scored the game-win-ning goal and goalkeeper AlexDeters recorded the final saveto clinch the victory.

“I’m just so proud of theboys,” St. Xavier coach NateSprong said. “They’ve workedso hard for this, it wasn’t pret-ty, but they overcame it withsheer grit in the second half.”

St. X didn’t find the back of

the cage until Jack Greenscored the first of his fourgoals with 1:23 left in the firstquarter.

With two seconds left in thefirst frame, George Thurnercut the Bombers’ deficit to 3-2.

In the second quarter, theGolden Bears reclaimed thelead with three goals. Greenscored his second of the game.

At the half, Upper Arlingtonled 6-3.

From there, it was all Bomb-ers as they scored four unan-swered goals in the secondhalf, including two more byGreen. His final goal of thegame tied it.

“They were locking off on(William) Holcomb and (Da-vid) Leising,” said Green, thegame’s most valuable playeron offense. “I could take theshot all day or draw slides andpass it. It was good stuff.”

Matthew Donnelly also putone in the back of the net andPerez scored the eventualgame-winning goal.

“On man-up rushes, we al-ways try to find a 3-on-2 and Isaw it on the left wing,” Perez

said. “I saw my man had hishead turned away from theball, so I went back-door, threwa fake and luckily it went in.

“I had gotten stoned by thegoalie earlier. I needed thatone.”

That goal came with aboutfour minutes left to play. It wasup to the defense to make itstand.

Upper Arlington playedwith more urgency and thegame got a little chippy. Even-tually, the Golden Bearswound up with the final posses-sion.

They maintained that samedeliberate approach that net-ted them six goals but the finalshot wound up in Deters’ web-bing.

“In the second half, weplayed 24 minutes of shutoutlacrosse,” said Deters, thegame’s defensive most valu-able player. “I felt the weightof the ball in my stick, sawthere wasn’t much time leftand I high-tailed it out of there.

“It still hasn’t set in quiteyet. Hopefully, it does soon.”

JIM OWENS FOR THE ENQUIRER

Saint Xavier players celebrate after coming back from a 6-3 halftime deficitto defeat Upper Arlington 7-6 for the Division I state championship.

COLUMBUS — Northwesttook third place as a team at theDivision I track and field statemeet June 6 at Jesse Owens Me-morial Stadium.

It was another memorableseason for the Knights at state.

Northwest’s 4x100 relay(Myles Pringle, Jordan Booker,Malik Beverly and DeVohnJackson) won a state title(41.79). Pringle took second inthe 400 meters (47.30) and thirdin the high jump (6’9”).

“It was great just to knowthat I did my best in all three ofmy events I qualified for,” Prin-gle said. “It’s my last year, I’mproud I did all I could.”

In the long jump, Northwestjunior Malik Beverly was 13thand senior Deion Goins was14th.

St. Xavier qualified a pair ofseniors to state in ConnorStelljes and Brad Eagan.

Eagan nearly gave theBombers a title for the secondstraight year in the 1,600 me-ters. Eagan placed second(4:13.83). Senior Michael Vituc-ci won the 1,600 in 2014, but aninjury ended his senior seasonshort.

Stelljes, headed to Saint Lou-is University, qualified in theshot put and finished 15th in hisfirst state appearance. His bestthrow at state was 52’2.50”.

“It was neat seeing this manypeople ... there’s usually not thismany people at a track meet,”Stelljes said. “I don’t think I didmy best. I was throwing (aboutfive inches farther) at regionals

and I fell short of the school rec-ord which was a big goal of minethis year.”

Roger Bacon sophomoreSam Johnstone finished 10th inthe Division II 1,600-meter finalrace at state with a time of4:27.20. Junior Jordan Williamscame in 11th in the state in thelong jump (20’7.25”). Williamswas a regional champion a weekprior to qualify to state.

La Salle’s lone state qualifier,senior Jordan Thompson, who’sheaded to play football at North-western, advanced to state inthe shot put and discus. Thomp-son finished 14th in the shot put,his best throw was 53’04”. In thediscus, Thompson also came in14th with a distance of 138’03”.

On the girls’ side, MountHealthy freshman KayelaHouston was 13th in the Divi-sion I long jump at state with adistance of 16’06”.

“We always say we want tomake the podium regardless ofgrade level, but don’t put toomuch pressure on yourself,”Owls coach Kelvin Kelley saidprior to the state meet. “Kayelais one of the hardest workers onthe team and showed leadershipby doing. We actually had toback her off for a couple daysleading into the regional.”

That reprieve helped im-mensely as she jumped 18 feet,4.25 inches in the regional toqualify for the state meet. Thatwas up from the 17’7.75” shejumped at districts.

Entering the state meet, shehad the third-best seed and wasone of just five jumpers with aseeding better than 18 feet.

COLUMBUS — The 2015Summit Country Daybaseball team will be re-membered for having ex-hibited so many exempla-ry traits this season.

No one can questionthe resilience of the SilverKnights. They entered thepostseason with a 14-12record and made a memo-rable trip to the state finalin Columbus.

The Silver Knightsscheduled seven DivisionI teams in the regular sea-son and gained valuableexperience along the way.

Summit Country Dayplayers believed they hadsomething to prove thispostseason and that deter-mination and effort wasevident each time the clubtook the field.

And Saturday nightwas no different. The Sil-ver Knights left it all onthe field at HuntingtonPark in the state champi-onship game.

Canton Central Catho-lic defeated SummitCountry Day 4-2 in the Di-vision III state final onSaturday night.

Although it wasn’t theresult coach Triffon Cal-los and his players wantedon the high school sea-son’s final night, the im-pact this squad had on theprogram has been pro-found.

The Silver Knightsearned their first trip thestate final since 1995when the program wonthe Division IV state titlethat year.

Summit Country Day(19-13), unranked in thestate coaches’ poll, earnedits first trip to the statesemifinals since 1996. TheSilver Knights defeatedCincinnati Hills ChristianAcademy and Waynes-ville – two top-five stateranked teams in the re-gional tournament.

Even when the region-al final and state semifi-nal came down to crucialsituations in the bottom ofthe seventh inning, theSilver Knights didn’tflinch.

“No one gave us achance at the beginning ofthe year,” sophomoreConnor McMurry saidFriday night. “And youknow what? We came intothis tournament knowingthat we had a lot of peopleto prove wrong and thatreally drove us. We have aton of heart as a team.”

The trip to Columbusthis spring representedadded significance for thefour seniors – CraigJames, Mark Peterson,Brooks Taylor and EricTerry. To reach the statefinal was extra special forthose players.

“It means the world tome,” Terry said on Fridaynight.
