ANDERSON TOWNSHIP — Because their efforts exceeded their job descriptions, four people will be honored by American Legion Post 318 on Saturday.
They are Cpl. Traci Riley, with the Anderson Township substation of the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department; firefighters Dave Kennedy and Geoff Amann, Anderson Township Fire Division; and Joe Ziesler, supervisor of the inspection department for Cincinnati Wa ter Works.
Cpl. Riley will receive the police officer of the year award for her diversified work as a bike and boat patrol officer.
“She also does extra work in teaching a self-defense class to residents,” said Sgt. Mike Patterson, officer in charge of the Anderson Township substation.
Sgt. Patterson is a member of Post 318 and served as its commander. He is chairman the post's Child Welfare Committee.
He said Mr. Ziesler is receiving the citizens award for his volunteer work in coaching Pee Wee baseball in the Anderson area.
“He not only coaches, but he works at the concession stands at Cinergy (Field) to raise money to help fund the programs for youths,” Sgt. Patterson said.
Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Amann will receive awards for their extra efforts in working with a Explorer Scout troop affiliated with the Anderson Fire Division.
“They have done an ex cellent job of teaching about 20 Explorer Scouts the techniques of firefighting,” said Assistant Fire Chief Tom Riemar. “The intent is to educate them about firefighting and give them enough knowledge in case they wish to make a career of it.”
The event will be held from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Post 318 Hall, 7551 Forest Road.
