Princeton City Schools hasannounced its guidelines forthose who want to apply fornaming rights of various facil-ities of the new school campuson Chester Road.
“We constantly are gettingchatter of potential namingrights,” Superintendent GaryPack said. “The only thingthey’ve named (so far) is Mat-thews Auditorium, because
that family donated propertywhere the schools are located.
“They wanted to make surethey kept that name to ac-knowledge theMatthews fam-ily,” Pack said of school boardmembers.
According to board policy,applications must meet sever-al criteria:
» Commemoration shouldbe reservedonly for thosepeo-ple or places who have made asignificant contribution to theenhancement of education, or
to the well-being of the dis-trict, community, state or na-tion.
» Abusiness, industryoror-ganization must be willing toprovide a substantial contri-bution to the school district,and approval of the contribu-tion must be made by theboard before naming rightsare awarded.
» Any person who is nomi-nated must be deceased, or ifthat person is an employee, nolonger employed by the school
district for at least five yearsbefore being selected.
The middle school is onschedule to open in Augustthis year, with the high schoolset for completion by August2014.
The common area, whichwill be open to the public out-side of school hours, will becompleted in 2015.
“Naming rights will be con-sideredby theboard, but thereis a substantial contributionthat has to take place,” Pack
said, “Not just because theywere great people who didgreat things.”
Packencouraged local busi-nesses and community mem-bers to apply for namingrights.
“This is a grand opportuni-ty for them,” he said. “It’s go-ing to be a grand place withmany people going in and outfor years to come.”

Shared lanes, or sharrows,are street lanes that indicateto drivers, typically with abike and arrows painted onthe ground, that they sharethe lane with bicyclists andshould be on the look out forthem. Several places in Cin-cinnati, including the HydePark and Oakley areas, al-ready use sharrows. Signsare another option, Hartkesaid, that is less costly.
The class’s report studiedeight potential routes forbike trails throughout theCACC’s areas, which wouldlink those areas, as well as in-terest points such as parksand schools.

Students in the College ofDesign, Architecture, Artand Planning transportationclass spent the spring semes-ter working on a report forCACC that not only discussedhow to connect trails for bi-cyclists and pedestrians, butalso what effect it will haveand how alternative forms oftransportation could help.
Adam Hartke, a graduatestudent finishing a mastersdegree in community plan-ning who presented for theclass, said that while bikelanes are preferred methodsfor bike and pedestrian traf-fic inCACC’s areas, signs andshared lanes are likely morecost-effective. CACC is com-prised of representatives

Cooper Road or CornellRoad over Interstate 71,would be sufficientlymarked with signs andsharrows, according tothe report.
The most-traveledroads in Evendale areGlendale-Milford Roadand Reading Road, whichinclude several large in-dustries such as GeneralElectric and Formica.Some places within thevillage that could be con-nected by the bike trails,which Evendale has not-ed in its bikemaster plan,are the Gorman HeritageFarm, Griffin NaturePreserve and municipalcomplex.
The UC class also rec-ommended that CACCwork with Metro and lo-cal businesses to encour-age both pedestrians andcyclists to use the trailsonce they’re created.Hartke said that it could
enhance local businessactivity as well as in-crease bus ridership.
Other recommenda-tions included brandingthe connected trails,which would help withrecognition, and includecitizens in planning andeducation. Hartke saidthe class used GoogleMaps to look at the routesthat bike trails couldtake, looked at wherecars drove most and theninvestigated the areaspersonally to get an un-derstanding of how trav-eled those roads are bycar. He added that out ofthe eight the class lookedat, they wanted to makesure each one connectedto at least one other.
CACC co-founder Mi-cheleGottschlichsaid thereport will help thembuild off that so they canmove forward with trailprojects.
“I can’t tell you howhelpful (the report) willbe to the CACC,” she said.

“He is a perfect-ly nice gentleman,”McCloskey said.
If Norville ad-mitted any involve-ment toauthorities,McCloskey said hewill try to have
those statements thrownout due toNorville’smen-tal disabilities.
“If he did confess it’scompletely useless be-cause he doesn’t knowwhat is going on,” Mc-Closkey said. “He couldbarely talk to me.”

WYOMING — Five Wyomingsoftball seniors will play theirfinal home game May 10against Finneytown.
Numbers and other sportsofferings may have affectedtheir overall won-loss record,butallwerekeycontributors toCoach Holly Muehlenkamp’sCowboys from 2010-2013.
Making their grand regularseason finale against the LadyWildcats will be shortstop Au-dra Chalmers, catcher ClaraMerten, pitcher Gabby Potvin,outfielderTaylorSingletonandoutfielder Madi Stephens.Chalmers, Merten and Potvinwere all-league players forWyoming.
“We’re all super close andwe’re like a unit,” Chalmerssaid. “We’ve gone through allfour years and it’s been a greatexperience.”
Chalmers comes from great“glove DNA” as older brotherAdamwas aWyoming baseballcenter fielder and youngerbrother, Parker, is currentlycoach Chris Fiehrer’s short-stop.
Chalmers was a second-team pick as a sophomore andhonorable mention last year;Merten made honorable men-tion her sophomore season.Both are among Wyoming’sfielding percentage leadersalongwith juniorfirstbasemanEllen Koesterman.
Potvin was a four-yearmainstay in the Cowboys’pitching circle,making Cincin-nati Hills League second teamin three straight years (2013’sall-league selections have notyet been announced).
In her freshman year shewas 10-8 with a save and 1.34ERA on a 14-11Wyoming team.In her senior season, her ERAwas under 2.00 despite theteam’s overall losing record.Potvin will depart Wyominghavingpitched in 60gamesandover 400 innings.
“This year’s been one of myfavorite years so far,” Potvinsaid. “We had a really young

On this spring’s Cowboys,Potvin is the third-leading hit-ter and Merten is fourth. Thefuture looks bright as fresh-man Ally Golden and sopho-more Olivia Munneke lead theteaminaverage.Munneke topsthe team in runs batted in.
One goal ahead for the sen-ior quintet ofCowboys is towina tournamentgame.Their clos-est postseason encounter camein a 2010 narrow defeat againstAmelia, 2-1.
For Potvin, this month cul-minates many hours of tryingto get ahead in an underhandmanner.
“I’ve been pitching sincewecould start, in the third grade,”
she said. “I’ve been workingmy whole life and practicing alot.”
Potvin believes wheneverthe final out comes, it will bebittersweet for the five Cow-boys that ride off into the sun-set.

SHARONVILLE — One hasbeen there before. One is tryingto get there for the first time.
Both have a good chance toreach the Ohio Division I statetrack and field meet.
PrincetonHighSchool juniorHalen Witcher ran the 4x400-meter relay at state last season,buthas learneda lot in the inter-vening year. And added moreevents.
“It’s going to take a lot ofhard work, but I’m ready to getback,”Witchersaid. “Igotout inthe first 100 too fast last yearand I had nothing at the end.Mylast hundred I had no kick. I’vegot a better strategy now.”
“Youwant to attack that first100 meters,” said Princetonhead track coach James Stall-ings. “Then you want to get tothat power stride in the secondhundred. By the time you getinto the turn in the third hun-dred,youroll outof thatandyousprint the last hundred.
“Halen is a lot better in thesecond second half of the racenow. He does a great job of run-ningwhateverweaskhim to do.He’s becoming a leader.”
As evidenced by the additionof the 200, the open 400 and the4x200 relay to his program.Witcher won the 200 meters(22.6 seconds), 400 (49.65) andanchored the victorious 4x400relay (3:25.10) at the annualPrinceton Invitational lastweek; the Vikings won both thethe boys and girls meets.
Witcher - who also plays de-fensive back and returns kicksfor thePrinceton football team -admitted he’d like to focus onone event.
“But I like to help however Ican,” he said. “That’s the mostimportant thing, doing what’sbest for the team.”
Sophomore Kevin Raineyhas been a big help to the Vik-ings, establishing himself as aserious presence in the hurdles.His goal is to reach Columbusfor the first time this season.
He won the 110-meter hur-dles at the Princeton Invitation-al in 15.08 and took the 300 hur-dles in 40.51.
“I like the 110s because it’sjust full speed, as hard as youcango fromthegun,”hesaid. “ Ilike to go full out.”
“His better race is actuallythe 300,” Stallings said. “He haselitespeed. Icouldprobablyrunhim in the open 400 and he’d dovery well. He’s a little bit smallcompared to the traditional 110hurdlers. His size doesn’t mat-ter so much in the 300. He’sright there about to break that39-second mark.”
Rainey also plays pointguard on the Princeton basket-ball team and said he actuallyprefershoops to track.Still, he’slearning to appreciate runningand the potential he has in it.
“You’ve just got to take eachrace seriously,” Rainey said.“(In the 300) you really attackthe first three hurdles and getinto your power stride. And af-ter the last hurdle you just runas hard as you can.”

SHARONVILLE — TheGreater Miami Confer-ence has not been kind toPrinceton High School’ssoftball team, but the Vik-ings still have their goalsfor this season withinreach. A hot start to theseason led to Princetonequaling itswin total fromlast season after just 15games.
“Fromthebeginningofthe year we have set ourfocus on winning moregames than last year,”said head coachMaryVonBargen. “In order to dothis, we know that wehave to be focused in ev-ery game and believe wecan win each game.”
After starting the year7-8, the Vikings droppedeight-straight contests,all against GMC oppo-nents. Princeton headsinto the final week of theseason with four morechances to add to the win
total andimprove onlast year’s7-19 mark.The teamhas kept itsfocus andremainedupbeatdur-ing the los-
ing streak.“This team doesn’t
quit,” said Von Bargen.“They stay positive eveninthegameswehavebeenrun-ruled. We take fromthose games what wehave towork on andmakeit better for the nextgame.”
This year’s group hascommitted to getting bet-ter, and it started in theoffseason. In the past,only a few girls would putin the timeandworkat thebatting cages or train to-gether to improve theirconditioning. In Von Bar-gen’s sixth season, at least10 girls have put in the ex-tra work each day.
“They have finally
bought in and now it isstarting to pay off,” saidVonBargen.“It iswonder-ful to see. This group ofyoung ladies is very spe-cial and I feel veryblessed to be coachingthem.”
Captains Emily Roper,Brandi Stepp, and JadaPollard provide leader-ship, along with fellowseniors Paris Foster andSydney Daniels. Roperand Stepp are among theleague leaders in battingaverage. Daniels andfreshman Haley Osbornehave developed into reli-able outfielders in theirfirst season playing theposition. Roper sets thetone for the teamfrombe-hind the plate. Pitcher Ni-cole Lohmueller has keptthe team in close gameswith her ability to movethe ball.
“Thesegirls jell sowelltogether,” said Von Bar-gen. “They are the truesense of the meaning ofteam.”

A publication of
Bridgeway Pointe, an as-sisted living, respite, transi-tional and memory care facil-ity on the campus of DrakeCenter in Hartwell, is prepar-ing for its open house Sat-urday, May 11.
The timing of this event isjust right as growing numbersof older adults are diagnosedwith dementia or Alzheimer’sdisease. What’s concerning ismost people don’t know thesteps to take when they sus-pect someone may have cogni-tive or memory issues.
First, it’s important to un-derstand that dementia is a setof symptoms; it is not a dis-ease. Other diseases can trig-
ger memory loss,including vasculardementia caused bystroke.
Alzheimer’s disease(abnormal build-up ofproteins in the brainthat impair brainfunctioning) is themost common cause ofdementia. These pro-teins produce plaquesand tangles in the brain. Somewarning signs of Alzheimer’sdisease may include:
»memory loss;» difficulty performing
familiar tasks;» poor judgment;» personality changes;
» language prob-lems;
» disorientation andnavigational problems.
Getting a properdiagnosis
There are manytypes and causes ofdementia. Unfortunate-ly, many people withmemory issues are
misdiagnosed and thereforemay not receive the propermedication or care. Variousphysical, emotional and/orlifestyle conditions can causedementia-like symptoms, in-cluding: stress, malnutrition,medications, depression, reac-
tion to anesthesia, vascularchanges in the brain or fever.
For a proper diagnosis, it isimportant to receive a compre-hensive cognitive assessmentfrom a neuropsychologist tohelp identify the type of de-mentia and its cause. Dr. Bren-dan Kelley, medical director ofthe Memory Disorders Centerwithin the University of Cin-cinnati Neuroscience Institute,said, “This most likely willinclude a physical exam, neu-ropsychological testing, brainimaging and laboratory testsrun by a doctor who special-izes in memory disorders.”
Available support
Whether someone withdementia stays at home with acaretaker or lives in an assist-ed living environment (prefer-ably with a specially trainedstaff in memory care) the goalis to help each individual maxi-mize his/her health and qualityof life.
Assisted living facilities usestate-of-the-art technology tohelp people remain as indepen-dent and highly functioning aspossible. Of course, “high-tech” support is secondary inimportance to “high-touch,”compassionate care.
Daphne Glenn is executive directorof Bridgeway Pointe Assisted Living.

May 1 questionShould Congress pass a bill which
would empower states to make online re-tailers collect sales taxes for purchasesmade over the Internet? Why or why not?
“I would like to see Congress enactlaws that require all internet pur-chases to have state sales tax placed onthem. This would be based on the Stateof the purchaser or receiver of thegoods.
“This levels the playing field some-what with the competing retail outfits.But I would like all of this new tax ear-marked for state education at the K-12grade levels. Otherwise these addition-al tax dollars will go towards less nec-essary items.
“Go figure!”T.D.T.
“Theanswer is a resoundingNo! It isunconstitutional.
“Refer to your copy of the U.S. Con-stitution, Article I, Section 9, Para-graph 5: ‘No tax or duty shall be laid ongoods exported from any state.’
“Any state currently collecting suchtax is doing it illegally. Ohio cannot col-lect it or coerce you to volunteer it ifthe purchase is made and shipped toyou from another state.”
B.C.
“No!!! Yet another governmentoverstep to ‘correct’ gross overspend-ing!!!
J.G.
“We’re already taxed enough! Hav-ing to pay shipping adds to the cost ofordering online, but not paying salestax helps to make up for that. TaxingInternet purchases would discouragemany people from patronizing onlinecompanies and those companies couldbe thrown out of business, resulting inmore people losing their jobs (withmore people having to go on unemploy-ment or welfare). The governmentneeds to stop wasting our money andfind ways to cut spending. Increasingtaxes only gives the politicians moremoney to spend frivolously and causesfolks like me to stop spending, whichonly makes the economy worse. Itseems to be their only solution (alongwith printing worthless money) to aterrible financial situation.”
C.H.
"Collecting the sales tax is an admin-istrative nightmare. Most but not allstates have one and in many areas, itvaries from county to county. Somestates taxclothingandothersdon’t.Na-tionally, the system of sales and usetaxes is a nightmare. Merchants haveto deal with their own state’s mess al-ready. Why should they have to dealwith dozens of other regulations aswell. The Internet and the telephonehas made tax evaders of all of us be-cause we buy things elsewhere anddon’t pay our home state’s tax. Let’s
leave things theway they are or outlawstate sales taxes and have one nationalsales tax whose proceeds get sent backto the states.”
F.S.D.
"First and for all, itwouldgive retail-ers an increase in their business andsecondly, it would give states addition-al tax revenue. I personally purchasedan item once and had more of a hasslein returning that item, which causedme to only support retail businesses. Alot of people think that a penny saved isa penny earned, but once you pay (ship-ping and handling) and the aggravationif it iswrong size, color, or just notwhatyou ordered, it is not worth it. I under-stand a lot of people live by this, butstart taxing and see what happens.”
D.J.
"Well, as a business owner and re-seller, yes I do think sales tax should becollected. Many states are alreadymandating sales tax on Internet pur-chases, also known as sales use tax. themain reason many Internet purchasesescape sales tax is because InternetSales Software, also known as “shop-ping carts” is very expensive, andmany are avoiding collecting the taxesbecause that reseller has to send insales taxes to the various states thebuyer is located, and that is a pain. Ifyou live in the state the seller is in, youcannot avoid paying the sales tax.
'I suggest a simple federal sales taxthe same percentage as the buyersState they reside. Thatway, the federalgovernment candivy out the individualstates fair share.”
O.H.R.
“No, Congress should not. Online 'E-Tailers' are often very small in-homebusinesses. To require them to collectand distribute sales taxes back to doz-ens of states would place a hardshipupon them thatwould likely force themout of business. Besides, the rule formail-order businesses has always beenlimited to collecting the sales tax onlyfor states inwhich they have a physicalpresence. In addition, this change is be-ing pursued by the federal governmentin an area that lies outside the scope oftheir constitutional limitations. Notthat that has ever bothered the Feds inrecent years, but I think it’s time some-one put the Feds back in their place.
“Heaven knows they have enoughtrouble dealing with the areas they areconstitutionally required to regulate.”
R.V.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Small Claims court is forsmall cases where it may notbe feasible to hire an attor-ney.
If someone owes youmon-ey and won’t pay, take yourcase to small claims.
A division of the HamiltonCountyMunicipal Court, itspurpose is to permit easyaccess to the court system forpersons with disputes overrelatively small amounts ofmoney. Typical small claims cases aresecurity deposit claims, car accidentsand breach of contract actions. Themost that you can sue for in smallclaims is $3,000.
By filing a small claims case, youwaive your right to a trial before ajudge or jury. Amagistrate, a lawyerappointed by the court, hears thesecases.
Here are some rules for filing:»Youmust know the address of the
party against whom you file suit.» The party filing the suit must
prove his case by a preponderance ofadmissible evidence.
»Only the ownermay file a casethat involves damage to a vehicle.
»You do not need an attorney if yourepresent yourself.
Your court date will be approxi-mately 28 days from the day you file.The trial occurs at this first hearing so
be prepared and be on time. Ifyou are late for court youmaylose your case.
Small claims court only de-cides cases involvingmoney.Themagistrate cannot ordereither party to do anythingother than paymoney. There-fore, you should have an idea ofthe specific value of your loss.It is helpful to bring estimates,receipts or other documents toprove your case.
Be aware that if you file a smallclaims case, the defendant may file acounterclaim against you claimingthat you owe himmoney. If the defen-dant wins you will have to pay him.
Winning your case does not guaran-tee that you will get yourmoney. Ifyou win, you then have a valid judg-ment against the defendant. Youmayneed to file additional legal forms totry to collect your judgment. Winninga case against a defendant who cannotpay is often a hollow victory.
Filing a small claims case costs$49.00. Visit the Clerk of Courts officelocated in the Hamilton County Court-house at 1000Main St. Room115. Theoffice is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.Monday through Friday.

With the help and dedicationof 120 volunteers, Jewish Fam-ily Service delivered 420 Pass-overmeals toCincinnati Jewishfamilies in need March 17,marking the 15th annual Dr.Samuel S. Rockwern PassoverDelivery of Jewish Family Ser-vice. This community project isoften meaningful for volun-teers as well as the clients re-ceiving food.
“I have volunteered everyyear,” said Lynn Mayfield ofHyde Park, who continues torecognize the importance ofthis project. “I moved out oftown for a number of years, butwould always come back to Cin-cinnati for theweekend ofPass-over delivery.”
The Passover delivery drewvolunteers of all ages to deliverboxes filled with matzah, mat-zah ball soup mix, macaroons,gefilte fish, Passover candy,grape juice, nuts, apples, and achicken dinner to families inneed. Because Kosher for Pass-over food is expensive, this pro-ject is important to ensure re-cipients had an adequate holi-day meal. Deliveries stretchedover 30 ZIP codes confirmingthat Jewish families inneed livethroughout Greater Cincinnatiand Northern Kentucky.
The Dr. Samuel S. RockwernPassover Delivery of JewishFamily Servicewas startedbyagroup of dedicated volunteersin 1998 and continues to be em-braced by the community. It in-volves more than just deliver-ing food; it personally connectsthe volunteers with families.
Alta Kreindler of AmberleyVillage delivered food with hergrandchildren, Sophie Glass-man(age7),EricGlassman(age9) and Ryan Glassman (age 11)of Wyoming. During one deliv-ery, they looked at family pho-tos on the wall. The residenthanded the children apples andcandy bars as a thank-you.
“He was nice,” Ryan said.Volunteers also came during
the week to sort the thousandsof cans and boxes of donatedfood. Cincinnati Hebrew DaySchool donated the storage andset-up facilities. Area congre-gations, organizations, andbusinesses collected the non-perishable, boxed food.Thebal-ancewas purchasedwithmone-
tary donations from TheRockwern Charitable Founda-tion, The Manuel D. and RhodaMayerson Foundation, and indi-vidual community donors.
Remke/biggs at Highlandand Ridge made it easy forshoppers to donate money. Thestore displayed signs with tear-off slips for shoppers to donatespecifically to this project byadding $5, $10 or $20 to theirpurchase. Shoppers can con-tinue to support this promotionthrough April 2.
No cash or food donations goto waste as the need for foodcontinues throughout the yearat Jewish Family Service FoodPantry, which feeds an averageof 130 people each month. It isthe only kosher food pantry inthe region and is currently lo-cated in space donated by GolfManor Synagogue.
Thepantrywillbeexpandinginto the Jewish Family Service
Barbash Family Vital SupportCenter this summeron the cam-pus of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion.The Center will not only housean expanded food pantry, butwill have case management,supportive counseling, emer-gency financial assistance,health promotion classes andtherapeutic socialization. Thefood pantry will continue mak-ing deliveries to those who arehomebound.
Jewish Family Service issupported in part by fundsmade available from JewishFederation of Cincinnati, Unit-ed Way of Greater Cincinnati,The Conference on Jewish Ma-terial ClaimsAgainst Germany,The Jewish Foundation of Cin-cinnati Council on Aging ofSouthwestern Ohio, Mazon: AJewish Response to Hunger,and The Health Foundation ofGreater Cincinnati.

Retail health clinicsare rapidly expandingacross the country;there are more than1,200 of them today.
They provide much-needed health care tomany, including thosewho don’t have a pri-mary care physician.But be careful, not allinsurance policies willcover their services.
Health clinics can be foundat Walmart, Target, CVS, Wal-greens and Kroger super-markets. Greg Johnson, ofButler, Ky., visited one suchclinic earlier this year for asinus infection. He went dur-
ing his lunch break. “Ittook 20 minutes or so.They gave me a pre-scription. I got the pre-scription filled and itwas really fast andeasy,” he said.
Johnson went to TheLittle Clinic at Kroger inCold Spring and paidwith his insurance card.A few weeks later, “I get
the statement from my insur-ance company. My insurancehas denied me coverage. Theysay they’ve declined the pay-ment because it is a nursepractitioner, not a doctor,” hesaid.
In fact, all these retail clin-
ics are staffed by either nursepractitioners or physicianassistants. Johnson said theyreally do provide a valuableservice. He not only went tothe clinic for himself, he saidhis wife and child have gonethere as well because it’s soconvenient.
“If you have children andyour children get sick at 6o’clock at night you don’t wantto take them to the emergencyroom because it’s not an emer-gency. The clinics are typical-ly open 7, 8, 9 o’clock at night,so it creates a conveniencething too for you with yourchildren,” Johnson said.
In addition, Johnson said
such clinics can be less expen-sive than going to a doctor’soffice. “I looked at the ratesonline and it says $85. Mydoctor charges my insurance$140, so I thought it was goingto cost me my $15 co-pay. Butit was actually going to savethe insurance company somemoney.”
Johnson said his fatherchecked with his insurancecompany and learned it toospecifically excludes pay-ments to such health clinics.But The Little Clinic, which isowned by Kroger, says whilesome insurance policies don’tcover its services, more thanthree dozen companies accept
it – and that’s just in Cincin-nati. It has clinics in severalcities around the country.
The Little Clinic, which hasbeen in operation since 2000,says 70 percent of its patientshave insurance while 30 per-cent do not. The big thing is,although these health careclinics are meeting an unmetneed, you need to check nowto see whether or not yourinsurance plan will coverthem.

HamiltonCountyPub-lic Health inspectorMandy Bartel of Wyo-ming was recognized bythe Ohio EnvironmentalHealth Association asSanitarian of the Year atthe association’s annualconference.
Bartel, a five-plusyearveteran inHamiltonCounty Public Health’sEnvironmental Healthdivision, is a generalistworking in food service,nuisance and housing,mobile home parks,campgrounds, swim-ming pools, schools andpublic accommodationfacilities. Her interest inworking with hoardersled her to develop a part-nership with mentalhealth professionals,while completing exten-sive trainingtobetterun-derstand hoarding be-
havior. The training andpartnerships allowher toexpand the role of sani-tarian and work withhoarders to not onlyclean their properties,but to also accessmentalhealth providers to workon the core of the prob-lem.
“Mandy’s interest inproviding sustainable,long-term solutions tohoarding led her, of herown volition, to establishpartnerships with re-gionalmental health pro-fessionals,” HamiltonCounty Health Commis-sioner Tim Ingram said.“She has completedtraining to provide herwith significant back-ground in understandinghoarding behavior andhow to implement herunderstanding whenworking with the publicto remediate hoardingepisodes.
“Mandy is not a per-son who rests on her lau-rels,” Ingram said. “Sheleveraged her trainingand experience to devel-op programs to workwith her peers in access-
ingmentalhealthprovid-ers to work on the corecauses of hoarding.
As such, her cases of-ten represent signifi-
cantly more sustainableoutcomes in terms ofworking with people tounderstand and subse-quently change their be-havior. I’m particularlypleasedwithhergraspofour agency mantra ofeducation over enforce-ment in tackling a diffi-cult mental health issueas it relates to publichealth,” Ingram said.
