Truly a match made in heaven By Caitlin Varley
loveland@communitypress.com
Happy endings are hard to find, but after years of trials Loveland residents Tammy and Tom Nance have found theirs. Tammy and Tom have a lot in common. Both lost their spouses to cancer, only weeks after the diagnosis. Tammy’s first husband passed away 11 years ago while Tom’s first wife passed two years ago. On July 25, Tammy and Tom were married, blending their families into one with eight children. “We all feel like our spouses, Robin and Dave, must have been in heaven making a match,” Tammy said. Tammy said their relationship is better because they’ve been through the same situation. They both know exactly what the other is going through. “It’s one of those things where something awesome has come out of something so tragic,” Tom said. Tammy said the children, six girls and two boys ranging from 6 to 16 years old, have been very supportive. “We feel like they’re the reason that this really worked,” Tammy said. Tammy’s three children have been without a dad for most of their lives. “Everybody deserves a mom and everybody deserves a dad,” she said. Tom agreed. “No one deserves to go through this life alone,” he said. “My children needed a mom and I think her children needed a father.” The kids were also very involved in the wedding, which had a sand ceremony. Each family member had a vase of sand to pour into a single vase to blend the families and represent their meaning to the family. Tammy went first as the foundation of the family and Tom went last as the protector. “We wanted this to be a wedding about all of us,” Tammy said. The kids participated in the

ceremony, vowing to be supportive, and the wedding party was made up solely of the family. The girls were bridesmaids, except for 6-year-old Maggie, who was the flower girl. Tammy’s son David gave her away while Tom’s son Ryan was the best man. They were even involved in the proposal. Tom proposed in October at Graeter’s, having the kids come in holding cards that read: “Tammy, I love you. Will you marry me?”
Tammy and Tom met through their daughters’ soccer team. Tammy said she approached Tom after his wife passed away to tell him that she was a widow and offer support. “We just started sharing some of the sadness,” Tammy said. “We just developed this great friendship.” Tom said they were friends for months before they started dating. “It turned into a lot more,” Tom said. Tammy said the kids are starting to really blend, including some arguing. “That means that they’re feeling like they’re sisters and brothers,” Tammy said. “It’s OK to fight.” Tom said scheduling and meals can be hard with eight children,
but the kids get along extremely well. “For the most part, the kids help each other out,” he said. They both have saved things to give to the children later. The new house also has pictures of their first spouses. “It’s never forgotten and it never could be,” Tammy said. Tammy said when she and Tom found each other, there was hope again. “I didn’t know I was as empty as I was until I found him,” Tammy said. Tammy and Tom both said they hope their story can touch people and remind them to hang on and not give up. “We just think it’s a miracle,” Tammy said. “We are so thrilled that we found each other.”
City encourages board to televise meetings By Jeanne Houck
“We at the city of Loveland are striving for ways to connect with our taxpayers, and I know this is also a priority of the schools.”
jhouck@communitypress.com
Loveland City Council thinks it has a way to make Loveland Board of Education meetings more accessible to the public. Loveland City Manager Tom Carroll recently sent a letter to schools Superintendent Kevin Boys inviting the school board to televise its meetings on public access television. The city pays about $50,000 a year in franchise fee revenue from Time Warner Cable to participate in the Intercommunity Cable Regulatory Commission. ICRC televise city council meetings live on Time Warner Cable channel 17, which also replays the broadcasts.

Taking advantage of the offer would cost the school district nothing and the city nothing more, Carroll said. “We at the city of Loveland are striving for ways to connect with our taxpayers, and I know this is also a priority of the schools,” he wrote Boys.

has considered televising our meetings on ICRC in the past and will consider the city’s inquiry at our next meeting.” Carroll told Boys the issue surfaced at a recent city council meeting when a councilman said minutes from school board meetings – of which council members regularly get copies – reflect only roll call votes.
“This discussion was not meant to be a criticism; rather I think the purpose was to suggest that residents of Loveland want to know more about the activity of all types of government, including the city and the board of education.” Brett Griffith, treasurer of the Loveland City Schools, said the school board’s minutes are appropriate and fully comply with the law. “In addition to the written minutes we provide in the treasurer’s office and post on our Web site, we also audiotape our meetings – which provide a complete account of all discussions preceding votes, except for those discussions held in executive session,” Griffith said.

Interns clean up Meade House for Cincinnati Horticultural Society
BRIEFLY Gas aggregation meeting
By Caitlin Varley cvarley@communitypress.com
July 30 was a long day out of the office for 16 Duke Energy interns. The interns worked hard at the Meade House in Symmes Township, which is being renovated by the Cincinnati Horticultural Society. “They’ve just worked here for eight hours absolutely nonstop,� said Mary Margaret Rochford, president of the Cincinnati Horticultural Society. The Meade House will eventually be home to children’s programs for the horticultural society, Cincinnati Horticultural Society volunteer Marie Huenefeld said. “Our main interest is going to be children,� Huenefeld said. Huenefeld said there will also be a children’s garden and possibly a vegetable garden. “It’s meant to really educate and inspire a whole other generation of gardeners,� she said. There were originally supposed to be close to 25

Coleman said the interns are from many schools, including the University of Cincinnati, Ohio State University and Columbus State University. He said most of the volunteers are engineering interns. Coleman said they were volunteering as part of Duke’s Global Service Event, done each summer. “It’s just a good opportunity to help some people out,� Coleman said. Coleman said it was a
good way to meet other interns and experience planning and team building. He was involved in gathering the interns and helping to organize the event. The interns were busy doing everything from clearing brush and weeds in front of the house to planting flowers. “They’re all so young,� Huenefeld said. “They’re very enthusiastic. They really have done a lot.� Huenefeld said someone suggested calling Duke to ask for help clearing the outside of the house. “We always are looking

Jones to replace Schuler An Ohio Senate screening committee recommended State Rep. Shannon Jones (R-Springboro) for appointment to the Ohio Senate to fill the 7th District seat left vacant when Robert Schuler (R–Sycamore Township) died in June. Jones took the oath of office Aug. 11. The 7th District includes eastern Hamilton County and all of Warren County. Jones has served in the Ohio House since 2007, where she quickly rose through the ranks, serving as assistant majority whip during the 127th General Assembly. She played a critical role in the development of the state energy bill last year, fighting to keep energy costs in check for Ohio families and businesses and served as the House’s point person on Medicaid. “I am honored and humbled to have been given the opportunity to represent the people of the 7th Senate District,� Jones said. “I look forward to working with my colleagues in the weeks and
m o n t h s ahead on the many challenges facing Ohio and pledge my best efforts to ensure the Jones voice of my constituents is heard at the Statehouse.� Prior to running for elective office, Jones worked behind the scenes and on behalf of the residents of southwestern Ohio, as chief of staff for former U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot, a regional representative for then-state Treasurer Joe Deters and as a district director for former U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine. She has also been active in local politics, holding leadership positions in the Hamilton County Republican Party and on the congressional campaigns of Mike Turner and Steve Chabot. Jones has a bachelor of arts in communication from the University of Cincinnati. She and her husband, Russell, are raising their two children in Springboro.

In a training exercise, firefighters from the various departments in the Northeast Fire Collaborative set a house on fire in Camp Dennison.

Township Administrator Larry Fronk said the service department had planned on removing pay phones as a cost savings measure for a long time. Mantle also said the call boxes should not be abused and the township was prepared to deal with false alarms and prank calls. “In case false alarms become an issue, all of the phones are installed in locations where we already have security cameras to assist the police department in investigating and prosecuting false alarms or people inducing panic,� he said. “These are not toys. They could very well save someone’s life on any given day and they should not be abused.� The service director said he hoped residents would be happy to hear about the township’s cost savings and decision to remove the pay phones. “It’s not very often you can save taxpayer dollars and still provide quality services to the public, but this is a case where we’re able to do both,� he said. “The trustees are always asking departments to look for ways to deliver top quality service at the best price and I think we’ve accomplished that here.�

How to pickle that peck of peppers
Nell Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous pickled peppers

My sister, Christine, makes my momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big batch version of these and uses no sugar at all so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to you. As far as the yield, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember! It depends on the size of the peppers, whether you use quart or pint jars, etc.
Sterilizing jars
Wash canning jars and lids, then put jars in a big pan, covered with water. Bring to a boil and boil 15 minutes. (If your dishwasher is hot enough, use that to sterilize the jars). Keep in hot water until youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to fill.

Remember the membrane that the seeds are attached to is the hottest part of the pepper, and the seeds are the second hottest part. Place peppers in sterilized, hot jars, packing tightly. Pour boiling brine over, covering peppers. Add seasonings, such as garlic, bay leaf, herbs, etc. or leave plain. Wipe rims with wet cloth. Put lids on.

CH@TROOM Aug. 12 questions
What do you think of the changes to Loveland’s extracurricular code of conduct? No responses. What are your favorite and least favorite memories from your school days? “One of my favorite memories from school was of our plane geometry class. The teacher was a soft-spoken, patient nun and she made learning the subject really fun. “Least favorite memory would have to be the day when two of my classmates conspired to go to another classroom before school started and bring back a guy with whom I had an argument the previous day. “I was totally surprised when I looked up from my desk and saw them standing there. As I was standing up, he sucker punched me.” B.B. “Going back to school in the fall when I was a child meant new shoes and school supplies that included new crayons and pencils. I loved the new box of crayons with the sharp ends! This was before computers, cell phones and calculators. “I also loved getting back in the classroom to see friends I hadn’t seen all summer. This was before playdates and kids stayed in their own neighbors and parents didn’t drive them to other neighborhoods. “I remember getting out my clothes the night before the first day and having a hard time getting to sleep because I was so excited to go back to school. I loved the teachers and the chalk boards and the books. “It was a long time ago, but nice to remember.” E.E.C. “Being hall monitor, having free roam of the playground which had lots of trees and sandboxes, after lunch you could buy a ticket for a nickel to see a movie in the auditorium (usually it was Laurel and Hardy serials) or you could choose to go to the library instead or you could just go home for lunch. No school buses; we walked come rain, shine, sleet, hail, snow. Our school lunches were 20 cents and all the pies were made there in the kitchen. At one school I attended they were caught serving horse meat for hamburger! I liked art and gym and cooking and shop and hated everything else! If someone disrupted class by misbehaving they were sent down to the office and had their hands/bottom whacked! Sometimes the teacher did it and saved the principal the bother.
Next question Should Loveland’s board of education televise its meetings? Why or why not? What do you expect from the Bengals this season? Every week The Loveland Herald asks readers a question they can reply to via e-mail. Send your answer to loveland@communitypress.com with Chatroom in the subject line. Needless to say there were very few kids that acted up! But, lookout when he left the room as the spitballs and erasers went a-flying. I still stay in touch with several school friends from fourthgrade.” Duke “I remember teachers and other staff who encouraged me, challenged me and helped equip me with tools for life. I remember a few teachers and staff who contributed very little to my education. I learned life lessons from both groups.” G.G. “The worst days in high school were the cliques. The best was when I was named class clown when I graduated. Also, to see everybody dressed up at the prom, that was fantastic.” I.K. “My favorite and least favorite memories of school will be shared next week at Amelia’s 45th high school reunion. The dusty yearbook is never near-right and due to my age or whatever, a few less seats will be occupied at our reunion. “Personally and back then as a transfer for Withrow to Amelia – school was just great in sharing with my ‘first serious girl’ all the times in school activities, living for the moment, finding a haven of sorts in Witham Woods and looking forward to the weekends. “Least favorite memories include sitting in government class in November of 1963 and hearing over the school PA system that our president was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. “Also of memories back then was a paper required of a troubled country and of our early involvement. The country was Vietnam. I eventually went on to participate at the expense of higher education. I don’t remember my grade on the assignment, but I know the assignment to Vietnam changed my life. “When I look back, school of our age deserved innocence and growth. So many were cut short at an early age regardless of my so many fortunate memories.” J.W.

Bill would hurt trucking Rep. Jean Schmidt recently introduced legislation to increase the federal weight limit on tractortrailer trucks to 97,000 pounds from the current 80,000-pound limit and to increase the use of double trailers on our nations highways. I have serious concerns with Ms. Schmidt’s proposal. First and foremost, bigger trucks will result in more rollover accidents making our highways less safe for everyone. Ohio’s decision this past spring to raise the speed limit for heavy trucks to 65 mph combined with Schmidt’s proposal is a recipe for a public safety disaster. A basic physics equation holds that momentum equals mass times velocity. When you have significantly larger and heavier trucks traveling at higher speeds, the damage caused by accidents will be exponential, resulting in greater loss of life and limb. Indeed Gerald Donaldson, senior research director for the Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety says of Schmidt’s proposal: “More lives would be lost in large truck crashes” and “More bridges would be placed at an increased risk for catastrophic failure.”
The danger is so great that truck drivers themselves are upset at the prospect of having to deal with much larger vehicles. The Teamsters union David opposes Schmidt’s Krikorian legislation, as do the families of Community truck accident Press guest victims. second columnist My major concern is that our nation’s roads and bridges are already in bad shape and increasing the weight load and use of double trailers will result in even more degradation of our infrastructure. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Highway Cost Allocation Study reports that large trucks already pay just half of the cost of the damage they cause to our highways. Taxpayers pay the difference. Schmidt’s bill therefore amounts to an unfunded federal mandate that will put even more stress on our federal, state and municipal budgets. Schmidt’s proposed legislation
HERALD
is good for profits at large trucking businesses and companies like International Paper that are lobbying hard for Schmidt’s legislation. As a business owner myself, I am in favor of pro-business legislation, but not at the expense of the safety of our citizens and our country’s national interest. Rail transportation has been proven to be significantly cheaper over long hauls consuming far less energy. In terms of cost, safety and environmental impact, investment in our railway system to transport larger loads, faster is the best alternative. Schmidt’s legislation would undermine our railway system and indeed many rail groups oppose it. The federal government’s job is to promote the national interest and in this case we should be focusing efforts on modernizing our railway infrastructure. Schmidt would have us looking backwards; I think you agree that it’s time to look ahead. Above all public safety must not be compromised.

You can help cut smog It thrives during summer. You can barely see it coming, but at its worst it has been known to kill. It is particularly dangerous for children, the elderly and people with respiratory problems, but it does not discriminate – affecting every person it comes into contact with. What is this silent pollutant? Smog. The word itself comes from a combination of smoke and fog, two things that have a similar look to smog’s hazy appearance. However, the white vapor that makes up smog is actually a form of air pollution. “Smog is a very serious issue in our region, negatively affecting the health of our residents and the environment we live in,” said Steve Pendery, president of the OhioKentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments and Campbell County executive judge. “It’s a concern that should be on the minds of everyone in the area - especially during this time of year.” Smog can be caused by a variety of chemical reactions, but in the Greater Cincinnati area the main component is ground-level ozone. This type of ozone is the very same gas that is found miles above earth’s surface in the ozone layer, but when ozone is close to the ground it is labeled as groundlevel ozone or “bad” ozone. Smog
and ground-level ozone are both created when heat and sunlight react with vehicular and industrial emissions, causing dangerous effects on people’s Emily health and the Feldman environment. Smog affects Community the lungs’ workPress guest ing capacity, columnist making it harder to breath. It can cause shortness of breath, pain, wheezing and coughing as well as nose and eye irritation. Inhaling smog can create longer-lasting health problems, such as, chronic inflammation of lung tissue, increased respiratory symptoms, heart attacks, lung disease and chronic bronchitis. Throughout the year, air pollution levels are monitored. When there are high levels of emissions in the presence of sunlight or high temperatures, a smog alert is issued to warn individuals of the pollution. Local media outlets announce when a smog alert is in effect - but smog alert information can also be found by calling 1800-621-SMOG.

There are also a variety of ways to reduce individual air pollution. “By staying informed and making simple adjustments to our daily routine, we can all help reduce this harmful form of pollution,” said OKI Executive Director Mark Policinski. “Keeping track of smog alerts helps us know when those adjustments are crucial.” Some of these adjustments include walking, riding a bike or carpooling to reduce vehicle emissions and filling up vehicles and using gasoline powered lawn equipment after 8 p.m. More information about smog and tips to reduce air pollution can be found at www.DoYourShare. org or call 1-800-621-SMOG.

Winning a trend for the Tigers By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
During his first three years as head football coach at Loveland High School, Andrew Marlatt has seen his per-season win total increase from three to four to six.
“We’ve got a lot of hardworking, tough, disciplined kids who bought into our year-round strength and conditioning program,” Marlatt said. “We’ve also had talented players.” One of those talented players is senior quarter-

In 2008, Engel, a three-sport Andrew Marlatt athlete, threw for 719 yards, rushed for 506 yards and combined to score 13 touchdowns. “He’s one of the top five athletes in the conference, and we’re counting on him to be a leader,” Marlatt said. “We’re counting on him to get it done.” Engel should receive plenty of help from five returning senior linemen: Dustin Brown, Brandon Burke, Kyle Chezem, Mason Scheeler and Bubba Williams. “The trenches will be strong,” Marlatt said. Other returning starters include Isaac Spence (RB/LB), Andrew Newbold (TE/LB), Randy Mullins (FB/DL) and wide receiver Zach Elias (WR/DB). Marlatt’s goals for his team are – in order – excelling in the classroom, being sound citizens, winning the Fort Ancient Valley Conference Buckeye Division and making the playoffs.

Moeller eyes GCL, state titles in 2009 By Mark Chalifoux

The 2008 Moeller Crusaders had a lot of questions heading into the first season under new head coach John Rodenberg. The 2009 Crusaders have considerably fewer as Moeller returns a considerable amount of Division-I caliber talent and boasts a strong senior class, making the Crusaders one of the top teams in the city. “We’ve worked awfully hard in the weight room and the seniors have been great leaders in the winter and summer. With all the returning starters, we hope to have a lot of success,” Rodenberg said. The offense should be balanced and will be led by Notre Dame-bound Andrew Hendrix. Hendrix threw for

1,609 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2008. Running backs Richie Dyer and Jeff Aubin combine to provide a talented running game for the Crusaders as the duo led the Moeller ground attack in 2008. The offensive line has a pair of strong standouts in Division I collegiate prospects Jeff Tanner and Ali Kassem. Ball State-bound tight end David Schneider should be a big target in the passing game as Schneider led the Crusaders in receiving touchdowns in 2008. Wideout Trent Williford is another receiver with big play capabilities.
O n defense, the Crusaders will be led by a strong front seven. The defensive line is Rodenberg led by two Division I collegiate prospects, senior Marcus Rush and junior Jessie Hays. The linebackers for Moeller are led by another Division I collegiate prospect, Nick Galvin. Kendall Walker and Garret Mize are two more big-play linebackers for the Crusaders. Moeller also returns cornerback Ethan McAlpine, who was one of the leaders in interceptions in the GCL in 2008. The schedule will be tough again for Moeller in 2009. “People don’t call us ot play unless they are going to be pretty good,” Rodenberg said. “Our feeling is once we get to the playoffs,

plish their on-the-field goals, they’ll need to improve their performance away from home; last year they were a perfect 5-0 at Tiger Stadium – “We have a very loyal fan following,” Marlatt said – but just 1-4 away from it. Still, Loveland is excited to begin play on the artificial turf that was installed on its home field this summer.
“It’s going to be great,” Marlatt said. “The boosters did a great job. It’ll be a very nice facility.” The best way for the Tigers to show their appreciation, perhaps, would be a victory in their home-opener against Turpin Aug. 28. “The tradition at Loveland is very strong,” he said. “We hope to continue that.”

Elder is looked at as the other power in the GCL South in 2009, but Rodenberg said fans shouldn’t sleep on St. Xavier. “St. X has a chip on their shoulder and that scares me,” he said. “They aren’t used to struggling like they did last year and will come out guns blazing.

his system. “Everyone knows where they fall in and where to go,” he said. “I’ve been real pleased with how things have worked out.” Rodenberg said the program puts a lot of pressure on itself to contend for a GCL title and a state title and that the Crusaders have their sights set on both in 2009. He also said that any team lives and dies with a senior class and that Moeller’s class of 2009 is a good one. “I really like the senior class,” he said. “They are positive and determined. I’m really pleased with this class and fans are going to see a good football team.”

Bombers look to bounce back By Tony Meale
On the team
tmeale@communitypress.com
The Bombers have been there before – and now they want to get back. In December 2007, the St. Xavier High School football team capped its second undefeated season in three years, won a state title and was widely considered one of the top teams in the country. In October 2008, the Bombers lost three of their last four regular season games – all by three points – and finished 4-6 and missed the playoffs. “(Our players) want to forget about last year,” head coach Steve Specht said. “This is a new year with new opportunities.” Leading the renaissance will be senior quarterback Luke Massa, who suffered a broken collarbone at Louisville Trinity last September and was lost for the season. Providing protection up front is Matt James (6-8, 280), who is considered one of the top offensive lineman in the nation and is ranked the fourth-best overall player in the 2010 class by Ohio High Magazine. “(Massa and James) bring experience,” Specht said. “They both started on our ‘07 state team, and they understand the expectations of the program.” Other returning senior starters include Nick Weston (DB), Will Carroll (DB) and

The Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy football team returns a d o z e n starters – six on offense and six on defense – Eric Taylor from a squad that steamrolled through the 2008 regular season unblemished en route to an 11-1 finish. Senior quarterback Alec Swartz is back under center for the Eagles’ high-octane offense, which scored just under 33 points per game last year. Swartz, who threw for more than 2,000 yards as a junior, earned All-State honors and was named the Cincinnati Enquirer Division V Player of the Year. He appears primed for another big season, especially since his top target, senior Andrew Perkins, returns at wide receiver. Perkins, a first-team allstate performer, led the team in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns last season. “We return the majority of our skill position players from last year’s team,” head coach Eric Taylor said.

Dietz brothers set to lead CCD By Anthony Amorini
aamorini@communitypress.com
All things offense will once again revolve around the brothers Dietz for the Cincinnati Country Day Indians. Senior running back Max Dietz is the “focal point” of the Indians’ offense after taking Division VI All State honors in 2008, head coach Tim Dunn said. Max received handoffs, pitches and passes from his older brother Alex Dietz, a 2009 graduate, last fall. Sophomore Jake Dietz takes over at quarterback for Alex and gives Max yet another sibling delivering the ball. “We think our skill guys are good enough to make us a threat, but Alex was very effective,” Dunn said of shifting to a sophomore Dietz at quarterback rather than a senior. “We hope we can pass a little to keep some balance, but we’ll see how it goes with a sophomore quarterback.” Judging from Alex’s and Max’s successes in 2008, Dunn hopes Jake hits the ground running, he said. Max led CCD with 1,163 yards rushing and 21 touchdowns last fall. He also accounted for 627 yards receiving. Alex threw for almost 1,200 yards and rushed for more than 400 yards as a senior. Senior running back Lawrence Ervin is also a returning starter for the Indians. Ervin scored 36 points for the Indians as a junior. On the offensive line, seniors Matt Lesser and Clint Thomas are the only players returning for Dunn. “We don’t have a lot of size on the line and they are young,” Dunn said. “We will be depending a lot on the young guys on the line.” Defensively, Ervin returns to the Indians’ secondary after tallying 100 tackles including 75 unassisted in 2008. Junior inside linebacker Wyatt Tiffany finished with 74 tackles last fall and returns to anchor the Indians’ defense alongside Ervin, Dunn said. Lesser and Thomas, both defensive linemen, finished with 45 tackles and 40 tackles, respectively.

Cincinnati SportsMedicine will have Saturday morning sports injury clinics throughout the Fall sports season Hearing a “pop” coming down from a rebound
and colliding with another player last year, Shaun A., a junior small forward from Miami University-Hamilton knew exactly what had happened and who to call. “I tore my right ACL in high school and our team athletic trainer recommended Dr. Marc Galloway at Cincinnati SportsMedicine and Orthopaedic Center,” says Shaun. “That surgery made my knee stronger than ever. So when I heard the same “pop” in my other knee I knew what to do.” “It is not uncommon for a patient to suffer an ACL tear in the opposite knee,” remarks Marc Galloway, M.D. sports orthopaedic surgeon at CSMOC. “This is a phenomenon we are hoping to address by developing specific prevention programs. The good news is Shaun responded as well to his second procedure as his first and the strong dedication he showed in both recoveries can be seen on the court this season.” “Dr. Galloway and the rehab team helped me focus on my goals and to reach them. My left knee is actually stronger now after the surgery. Both knees are feeling great and the quad and jumping exercises they had me do made my jumping better. I’m looking forward to playing my senior year.”

anguish for any reason. For Debbie K. of Pennsylvania, it was watching her daughter, Bethany face the harsh reality that her collegiate soccer career was over, one year too soon. A three-time American Mideast Conference Player of the Year, Bethany was sidelined due to excruciating knee pain and failed surgeries. Call it coincidence or call it fate, Bethany’s aunt in Los Angeles, California also suffered knee pain and researched Dr. Frank Noyes’ name from the internet and recommended him to her niece. Dr. Noyes discovered a rare, overlooked, complication with Bethany’s prior meniscus repair procedures and was able to restore her knee and relieve her unrelenting pain. “Bethany had multiple complex knee injuries that are rare to see and require a special level of training and expertise found only in an orthopaedic center of excellence,” says Frank R. Noyes, M.D., Director, CSMOC. “Our patient focused treatment included proven clinical, surgical and rehabilitation options. This care, combined with Bethany’s determination and motivation, produced a remarkable outcome.” How did Bethany do following Dr. Noyes’ surgery? She capped her career at Houghton College with a 4th Player of the Year honor and was the leading all-time scorer among other titles. “It was a true miracle what he was able to do for her,” says Debbie K. “For someone who thought her career had ended too soon, it was a miraculous ending for my daughter.”

Playing in sand fun way to learn loveland@communitypress.com
Almost everyone has built sandcastles on a sandy beach or in a sandbox. Most of us probably didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to play in a sand tray in our school classroom as a child. For 10 years students in Dr. Sheila McCownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class played in the sand. She taught elementary school for 30 years in Ohio and facilitated sand tray groups in her classroom the last 10 years before retiring. On June 15, she opened the Sandtray Center for Children on West Loveland Avenue in historic Loveland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sandtray Center for Children is an educational setting,â&#x20AC;? McCown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I utilize sand trays to encourage children to socialize, encourage children to express themselves and verbalize things.â&#x20AC;? Though she has a doctorate degree in Counseling Studies, McCown points out her unique educational programs are for 5-12 year old children. She does not provide counseling or therapy services. Her career began as a special education teacher for children in grades K-4. Then one summer she took a class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One summer I was taking a class just on play therapy,â&#x20AC;? McCown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In that class there was one chapter in one book that talked about sand trays.â&#x20AC;? It fascinated me because I could see how children could connect with that.â&#x20AC;? McCownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fascination and excitement led her to a sand tray conference where she attended a session specifically on using sand trays in classroom and

Bauer said a lot of parents are looking for socialization learning opportunities for their kids. She said it has multiple benefits teaching boundaries, listening and social skills while also enhancing comprehension and reading skills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sandtray Center is very unique,â&#x20AC;?

She started using it in her classroom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started very small,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a tiny, tiny little shelf in the corner of my room.â&#x20AC;?

Kelsey Bauer, left, and Lena Bauer, right carefully place miniatures in their sand tray creation.
That tiny shelf was full of toy miniature objects for kids to use in the sand trays. She saw what the kids were expressing; how they talked about it. She sought out further education and earned her PhD during studies of sand tray use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could see the trays had very specific meaning to every child,â&#x20AC;? McCown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was amazing fun. The kids were laughing and joking with each other.â&#x20AC;? The positive impact it had on kids social, expressive and language skills was obvious to her. She used it in a variety of group and class settings. The Sandtray Center for Children is now a place where she puts that experience to use-not to mention the thousands of â&#x20AC;&#x153;miniaturesâ&#x20AC;? she accumulated over the years. A sand tray is rectangular, about the size of a school desktop and is about three
inches deep in sand. During a session at the center, each child chooses their own miniatures and creates their own story in the sand tray. They do not judge or interpret one anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tray. Each child has the opportunity to tell their own story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the idea of kids acting out,â&#x20AC;? said Melinda Bauer, who brought her daughters, Lena, 9, and Kelsey, 7, for two sessions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Using their hands and their mind to expand their imagination. I think this does that by using the sandboxes and creative scenes.â&#x20AC;? Bauer is a therapist and has some experience with sand tray therapy, but this was about a mom finding something fun and educational for her own children. They did the â&#x20AC;&#x153;book buddiesâ&#x20AC;? session where they read a book and retold the story together in a sand tray. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted them to enjoy it,â&#x20AC;? Bauer said of her expectations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way to keep them working over the summer. It made it really fun. They loved it, they want to come back; they absolutely loved it.â&#x20AC;? The â&#x20AC;&#x153;book buddiesâ&#x20AC;? program was an added bonus that Dr. McCown originally didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan for. The kids have â&#x20AC;&#x153;Post-itâ&#x20AC;? notes to mark connections, questions and predictions as they read the book. Then they visualize and verbalize the story together in a joint sand tray. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredible how much they remember reading,â&#x20AC;? said Carrie Piehowicz who brought her sons, John-6

Spelling words make history, taste sweet By Sharon Brumagem loveland@communitypress.com
With 40 rounds and a three-way tie for first place, the 17th annual Literacy Spelling Bee left a sweet taste in the mouths of team members for Clermont Senior Services, Clermont County Education Service Center and Locust Corner Community Church. “We hosted a historymaking event this year,” said Spelling Bee Co-Chair Kathleen Gillespie. “This is the first time the bee ended in a three-way tie. I’m looking forward to next year’s bee already. The fun competition should be even greater at Spelling Bee 2010.” Literacy Council Director Susan Vilardo agreed. “We had an exceptional group of spellers.” (All three winning teams spelled their way into the top three at last year’s bee.) Altogether, 13 teams participated in the bee, which is the Literacy Council’s major fundraising event each year. The event took place at the Firefighters Hall in Milford. The Clermont “Senor” Services spellers, Beth Rawdon, Jason Palm and Bill

This year’s Literacy Council Spelling Bee ended in a three-way tie for first. From left are members of the Clermont Senior Services, Clermont County Education Service Center and Locust Corner Community Church teams. DeHass, earned their third consecutive win, while the CSS cheering section’s party-like fiesta, won the “most team spirit” award. Western Brown Local School District’s team, The Hamersville Lab Rats, aka, Katie Menard, Krystal Haney, Lori Sams and Alternate Kellie Day, dressed as mad scientists with white rats, winning the best costume contest. Members of the Clermont County Education Service team were: Kelly Maples, Beth Muskopf and Dawn Betts. Paul Ringhand, Larry Chaney and Sally Kay represented Locust Corner Community Church. It was the church’s second appearance in the spelling bee. Other teams who partici-
pated were: Clermont County Public Library, Literacy Council of Clermont & Brown Counties, U.S. Grant Career Center, UC Clermont College, Workforce One of Clermont County, St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church “Saints,” St. Timothy Episcopal Church “Cherubim,” Child Focus and Great Oaks Career Campuses. Sharon Averwater, Ted Groman and Tim McCartney served as judges. Jerry Eichert was the pronouncer. The Literacy Council staff thanks Duke Energy, UC Clermont College and Literacy Council Board member Jerome Eichert for being the major sponsors this year. They also want to thank the dozens of people who gave monetary gifts, con-
tributed or bid on items for the silent auction, and donated or bought items in the ‘fire’ sale. “We (can’t forget to) thank the Milford Firefighters for the use of their Community Hall,” Gillespie said. Kroger, LaRosa’s, Little Caesar’s, Donato’s, Batelle’s Bakery & Catering, Literacy Council volunteers and the Locust Corner Community Church ladies donated the lunch. International Paper contributed the drinks. The event, although designed as a fundraiser, serves to highlight those organizations that aspire to teach adults to read, to earn their GED, to further their education and to improve their life and those of their families.

Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has

Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events. Facilities are also perfect for small weddings and other festive occasions. The building has no steps into the 1st floor level - a “drawbridge” leads from the driveway to the massive front door and the first floor guest rms. Nearby are caves, waterfalls, lots of hiking trails, a scenic railway, arts & crafts studios & shop, antique malls and much more. There are often midweek discounts and a special “Royal Family” Adventure Package in the summer.
