The mission of the Loveland Area Chamber of Commerce is “to serve as a leading advocate for the business community and a catalyst for business development and growth.” Yes, a tough economy has impacted members, but it is that mission which positions the chamber to help the member community continue growth. Chamber Executive Director Paulette Leeper recognizes that businesses are hurting. She expected to have some major loss in membership. What they found instead was some stability. “Our membership is somewhat stable,” Leeper said. “They might not have the means to renew right at that moment; therefore they renew their membership more slowly. They recognize the value of chamber membership.” With businesses facing a sinking economy, Leeper projected a 15 percent drop in member renewal. It’s just under 14 percent for 2009 so far. New membership is pacing at about 80 percent of what they projected for the year. Advocating for members in government legislation issues is just one of the benefits Leeper said chamber membership brings. Responding to concerns of chamber members, they took a stand against two pieces of legislation that would have been harmful to area businesses. “It’s the kind of thing not necessarily seen by many area businesses,” Leeper said. “That is one of the best benefits of belonging to a chamber of commerce. We’re looking out for their business interests, for the good of the community in general.” The chamber vision statement is: “Grow your business” – they chose those three words very purposefully. “It’s about economic and business growth,” she said. “It’s not ours, it’s your business. It’s about business.” A 2007 study by the Schapiro Group out of Atlanta showed 63 percent of consumers are more likely to buy goods and services from a small business if they are a member of their area chamber of commerce. Promotion is probably the most

Loveland Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors President Brad Bauer and chamber Executive Director Paulette Leeper stand with a sign announcing the Oct. 28 chamber Business Expo important service the chamber provides for members. “Promotional services are probably No. 1,” Leeper said. On a recent morning, in just the first 90 minutes in the office, she made two referrals for member businesses. “Our chamber averages one referral every other day for the year,” she said. “That’s a lot of referrals. Definitely, we get phone calls like that all the time.” The chamber Web site helps members market their business and tracks referrals. Chamber events, like the golf outing and upcoming business expo, provide valuable opportunities for members to connect with the community. Leeper wants to dispel the notion that the chamber is an arm of the city. “Not true. We are a separate non-profit organization; completely separate and independent,” Leeper said. “A lot of people think
we are supported by taxes. Our primary source of revenue is the investment membership makes in us.” The way the chamber currently presents itself to the community was developed through changes made the last few years according to Brad Bauer, president of the chamber board of directors. The chamber isn’t trying to position itself differently, or suddenly change strategies to address the challenging business economics of today. They have the lowest range of membership fees in the area. A small business can join for just $150 membership fee. Bauer’s seen how chamber programs helped other businesses. “The membership fee is a very small investment to make for the potential to have the chamber work with them to grow their business,” Bauer said. “That’s what we’re all about: growing your business.”

that it takes passion to run for public office. We are fortunate to have four candidates who are ardent Loveland aficionados,� she said. In the case of Loveland, an uncontested race does not mean city council will remain unchanged. Councilman Joe Schickel is not seeking re-election, leaving a clear path for nonincumbent candidate Linda Cox. No newcomer to city hall, Cox retired earlier this year after serving as Loveland clerk of council and administrative assistant since 1991. Before that, Cox worked as a secretary for the Loveland City Schools. She’s Loveland's 2009 Valentine Lady. “Having spent a lifetime in this community and recently retired with more than 26 years of public

Hello and good-bye In December, Loveland City Council candidates Dave Bednar, Linda Cox, Rob Weisgerber and Brent Zuch will begin four-year terms. They’ll join three councilmen who will be up for re-election in 2011: Paul Elliott, Mark Fitzgerald and Todd Osborne. The group will vote then on a mayor and vice mayor. Cox is the only nonincumbent; current Councilman Joe Schickel is not seeking reelection. “I have no doubt that city council will work well with Mrs. Cox,� said Weisgerber, now mayor. “Linda has already worked with the members of city council as the clerk of council for many years and has already established a personal relationship with every member of city council. “I would expect Mrs. Cox’s professional relationship to continue there by facilitating a very rapid transition,� Weisgerber said. Schickel could not be reached for comment. He has prior uncontested races.� “Loveland has historically been a very politically active community with residents willing to affect change in representation at election time due to differences in opinion on representation or on an issue,� he said. “One might interpret this

Weisgerber said. “Joe has been able to bring the long-term resident’s concerns to the table to be heard. “I have trusted Joe’s opinion on issues as they arise and I will miss Mr. Schickel’s opinion at the city council meetings. “I would expect Mrs. Cox’s long-time residence and activity within the city to bring a similar perspective to Mr. Schickel’s when considering actions or legislation,â€? Weisgerber said. • Weisgerber, 50, is an engineer at GE Aviation. He’s served 12 years on council. • Bednar, 61, is area manager for Aramsco, which sells Homeland Security and environmental safety products.

Chairperson ‘Encouraged by the Initiative’s desire to move positively’ Loveland resident Terrie Puckett was chairperson of the recently disbanded “Ad Hoc Committee on Loveland Non-profit Organizations” established by Loveland City Council earlier this year to serve until July 31 and help administrators come up with rules for all non-profit organizations seeking financial or other kinds of assistance from the city. Loveland City Council recently approved new rules, which include a requirement that non-profit organizations apply no later than Sept. 15 with the city for financial assistance for the following calendar year. The ad hoc committee had a second charge: to help the Loveland Initiative find permanent housing, strengthen its financial standing and review its bylaws. The Initiative, a 13-yearold nonprofit group that helps the needy in Loveland, recently had to move from its home on LovelandMadeira Road and is looking for new quarters. “The committee members feel the ad hoc committee was a success and are encouraged by the Loveland Initiative’s desire to move positively through these growing pains so that the Loveland Initiative can continue to serve our community for another 13 years,” said Puckett, who is involved in several non-profit projects and is a new trustee of the Greater Loveland Historical Society Museum. “We wish them luck and hope that they will call on us
as individual Loveland residents if there is a way we can be of service in the future.” Puckett said the ad hoc committee plans to make a final report to city council, probably at council’s Aug. 25 meeting. Here, Puckett provides some insight into the ad hoc committee’s work with the Loveland Initiative:
What are some of the difficulties facing needy Loveland residents? “Many Loveland residents are not aware that although there are governmental and non-profit agencies at work throughout the county that provide basic assistance, because Loveland is without public transportation – no Metro bus route, no taxis, etc. Oftentimes simply getting to these agencies is an insurmountable hurdle. “The Loveland Initiative, therefore, has become the sole regular lifeline for items like emergency household supplies, clothes, school supplies and service agency recommendations, etc.” How good of a job is the Loveland Initiative doing with its work to help the needy? “The Loveland Initiative is a success. One need

only meet Tony Hauser, a current Loveland Initiative trustee, to understand the successful role the Loveland Initiative has played in the community. “Tony was a constituent as a child, took on leadership roles as he got older, received a scholarship through the Loveland Initiative and is now a trustee volunteering to give opportunities to children facing the same struggles he has surmounted – with the Loveland Initiative’s help.” What kind of programs does the Loveland Initiative offer? “The Loveland Initiative gives a great deal to the betterment of Loveland as a whole through programs like the Cool School tutoring program, the Christmas toy store, the Neighbors Helping Neighbors Resource Center, the fabulous Martin Luther King Jr. Day program and the Tracy Johnson Scholarship Fund. These programs benefit the entire community by improving the quality of life found here.”
“The Loveland Initiative has been existence for 13 years – 11 of those under the same leader. That level of longevity and continuity creates a track record that is simply amazing. “The Loveland Initiative has grown over the years, from volunteers helping neighbors and working out of a laundry room to a registered 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization with trustees, bylaws and over 200 registered constituents.” What kind of difficulties is the Loveland Initiative facing now? “With growth, the Loveland Initiative has had definite and serious growing pains, many of which have played out in the press. Currently, the Loveland Initiative’s most serious challenges are a need for a new home, a need for more community involvement as volunteers and as leadership (trustees and a treasurer) and a
need for continued financial support. “The Loveland Initiative is currently seeking a new location from which to operate. They are speaking with local businesses in the hopes of securing at least a temporary location immediately so that the upcoming Back-to-School backpack campaign can succeed. Their needs are modest, and we hope that one of Loveland's business leaders will step forward. “Finally, like every other non-profit in the area, the troubled economy brings an additional barrier to financial sustainability as individuals and companies understandably give less direct financial support. The Loveland Initiative’s leadership will need to face hard choices regarding what services and programs they are able to fund moving forward while at the same time, seek out new – currently untapped – funding sources.”
What suggestions has the ad hoc committee made to the Loveland Initiative? “The committee has recommended that the Loveland Initiative increase the number of trustees in order to bring new ideas and a variety of experiences to the leadership and oversight of the organization. In addition, Loveland Initiative leadership will be meeting over the next few weeks to review the current operating structure – roles, responsibilities, authority and strategic goals – which may result in revisions to the current bylaws. “I have been asked to act as a facilitator for these discussions and am happy to do so. The committee feels that clarifying the structure will go a long way in preventing many of the difficulties the organization has had over the past few years.” Reported by Jeanne Houck

Tigers improve in 2nd week loss
touchdowns. The Crusaders did have several special teams turnovers and the defense still needs to get more consistent. Hamilton found most of its offensive success through the air, throwing for 186 yards. Moeller (2-0) held Hamilton to an average of less than two yards per carry, a sign that bodes well for the Crusaders as they prepare for a run-oriented team in Centerville.

In the wake of a disappointing 34-17 loss to Turpin, the Loveland High School football team showed improvement this week but couldn’t pull out a W in a 28-14 defeat against Lebanon. “We were able to run the ball at will, but we had too many penalties and turned the ball over. Otherwise we were able to move the ball,” Assistant Coach Brian Morra said. Loveland held a 244196 rushing advantage over Lebanon, but the Warriors pulled off bigger plays, scoring on their first three possessions of the game to build a 21-0 lead. Chase Cochran opened with an 88-yard touchdown return for Lebanon, which forced Loveland to punt on its first possession. Lebanon then struck again with a 78-yard touchdown pass from Dustin Isaacs to Chase Cochran that put the Tigers in a 14-0 deficit. After a drive in which the Tigers managed to create a couple first downs, they were forced to punt. Lebanon then scored on a seven-yeard pass Issacs to Brody Wolf to go up 21-0. On the first play of the second quarter, the Tigers lost the ball and it was recovered by Jake Gilbert of the Warriors. However, Loveland fought back and forced Lebanon to punt. After a solid rushing drive, Loveland was forced to punt again. The Warriors brought the ball to the goal line but fumbled, as Loveland defender Joe Moran recovered the ball. The Tigers’ defense stepped up in the second quarter, as Loveland had just one passing yard by

halftime. The third quarter proved to be an exciting one, as Adam Engel converted a fourth-and-three before running 65 yards for a touchdown. Lebanon, however, walloped back with another touchdown to make the score 28-7. On the kick Zach Elias returned it for an impressive 35 yards. The Tigers were then barely able to slip by on fourth down with a favorable pass interference call and Kaylee Knabe was able to pick up his own fumble for a first down. In the fourth quarter, Loveland was able to push the ball into the red zone and Issac Spence scored to make it 28-14, but that touchdown proved to be too little, too late. Loveland failed to recover an onside kick, and the Warriors took the ball at the 50. Loveland (0-2) plays at McNicholas (1-1) Sept. 11.

The Crusaders have another challenge on the horizon against Centerville but Moeller has to feel positive about the way the offense has been playing, especially after a strong second half against Hamilton. A close game was blown open in the second half as the Crusaders outscored
Hamilton 27-6 in the second half. Junior running back Richie Dyer had a breakout game as he gained 154 rushing yards on 20 carries and scored three touchdowns in the process. Quarterback Andrew Hendrix was sharp again, completing 16-of-21 passes for 207 yards and two
Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy got back to its winning ways with a 21-0 shutout of Madeira in week two and are preparing for a struggling Mariemont (0-2) on Sept. 11. The week of practice should be a little easier for the Eagles as winning the home opener should ease the sting of the 39-3 loss to Wyoming to start the season. Taylor said the key to CHCA’s week two win was clicking right out of the gate. The Eagles went up 14-0 halfway through the first quarter. Alec Swartz had the offense moving and ended the game with 180 passing yards and two touchdowns, one through the air and one on the ground. The CHCA defense was much improved as well against Madeira, keeping the Mustangs off the scoreboard. Madeira threatened several times but the Eagles came up with several drivekilling interceptions. Mariemont has struggled early in the season, suffering a 54-13 loss to Fenwick in week one and a 31-7 loss to New Richmond. CHCA is at Mariemont on Sept. 11.
New Loveland turf financed privately Loveland High School dedicated a new turf field stadium completely financed by the Loveland Athletic Boosters Monday, Aug. 17. The renovation includes Tiger Turf artificial playing surface, upgraded scoreboard and new field lights. “We have what I believe to be one of the finest venues in Southwestern Ohio. This stadium renovation represents the best of what the Loveland community is all about,” Loveland Athletic Director Jeff Zidron. The new scoreboard was developed with Side Effects Inc. and a host of sponsors, including Sibcy Cline Realty and Ms. Keli Williams, Jarvis Global Investment and Mr. Art Jarvis, Loveland Dairy Whip and Mr. Rick Morgan, The Oasis Golf and Conference Center and Mr. Brian Ihnat, Oral & Facial Surgery Group and Drs. Perry, Waters and Morrison, Wards Corner Chiropratic and Dr. Doug Portman, Eric Hickman Dentistry, University Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine and Dr. Keith Kenter and General Electric Credit Union and CEO Mr. Patrick Taylor. The second portion of the renovation is the new field
Loveland High School athletes attend the turf field dedication. lights. The old lights were from 1993 and were well past their projected hours of use. Zidron said the Loveland Board of Education and Facility Manager John Ames had the foresight to review the district’s energy conservation needs and apply for Federal Stimulus Funds to retrofit every light and switch in the entire district. Along with changes in our heating and cooling systems, energy savings will equal more than $425,000 annually, Zidron said. The last part of the renovation is the Tiger Turf
PROVIDED.
The first part took place four years ago when the Loveland City School District approved plans for a new track. The track was re-designed to allow for soccer to fit, curbs were installed as well as a necessary underground drainage system artificial surfaces require. This work resulted in a savings of nearly $200,000 if done separately. The second part of the Turf Project, the turf itself represents the largest single donation ever to the Loveland City School District in excess of $517,000. “The list of donors is
long – for those individuals who have donated be it $10 or $10,000 – thank you. The fundraising is not over, we still need your help but we now have the tangible product to see and support,” Zidron said. Zidron also recognized the following major donors: The Robert W. Williams Scholarship Fund, The Patty Brisbane Foundation, Northeast Center for Women’s Health and Dr. John Fackler, Tuft Schildmeyer Funeral Home, MS Equipment, Robert and Pauline Williams, EPS Specialties and Art Wilkinson, University Orthopeadic Consultants and Dr. Keith Kenter, Lebanon Citizens National Bank, The Midland Foundation, The Hayden Foundation, Eric and Sue Mather, Towne Properties at Harpers Point, Bryan and Caroline Williams, Data Management Inc., OAPSE Local 363 (bus drivers, custodians, admininstrative assistants, cafeteria support), Girl Scout Troop 956 and Penn Station East Coast Subs. According to Zidron, a number of long-term corporate sponsors also committed money to support the Tiger Turf effort: Union Sav-
ings and Loan; Meijer; LaRosa’s and Sam David have expanded a partnership with Loveland Athletics and NovaCare, athletic training and rehabilitation partners who have committed long-term care for the athletes as well as Tiger Turf. As a result of Tiger Stadium renovations, boys’ and girls’ soccer and lacrosse will use Tiger Stadium as their home field. Their move from the middle school now allows the seventh- and eighthgrade football teams to have their own facility on campus for the first time. “While the all the individual donors, corporate and community sponsors have made this happen, the engine behind this entire effort is the Loveland Athletic Boosters. “In particular, Loveland Athletic Booster President Jeff Williams, has driven this train for the past two years and committed himself to make this happen. In the end – his hard work and ownership of this effort resulted in what many thought would never happen – a field 100 percent financed by private donation,” Zidron said.

Loveland soccer teams bring in 6 more wins for the entire game. The second half continued like the first as Indian Hill’s free kick from 25 yards out on the right side hit the crossbar but bounded away in the 41st minute. Loveland’s Autumn Oakes found a streaking Kelsey McGohan in the 44th minute as McGohan converted the breakaway from about 8 yards out on the left side beating the keeper to the near post. Defenders Abby Vargo, Leah Wood, Morgan Williams, Hannah Moloney, and Ariel Fischer kept Indian Hill’s chances to a minimum and keeper Stephanie Sawyer kept a clean sheet. Shots: 13-8 (L - IH); Shots On Goal: 4-2 (L - IH); Corners: 4-1 (L-IH); Fouls: 20-0 (L-IH)
The following is a compilation of submitted wrapups of the last week’s soccer games.

Loveland 1 Indian Hill 0 The Loveland Tigers girls’ team outplayed an organized but overmatched Indian Hill squad on a cool evening, winning 1-0 Aug. 31. While most of the action in the first half was in the Indian Hill defensive half, no scoring occurred. Loveland outshot Indian Hill 4-3, but the latter team’s shots were due to some controversial fouls and infractions. Loveland was whistled 10 times in the half, which resulted in two of Indian Hill’s shots. Indian Hill was not whistled for a foul or infraction

Loveland 1, Walnut Hills 0 The Loveland Tigers boys’ team dominated a good Walnut Hills squad but prevailed, 1-0, Sept. 1. Loveland had a good deal of pressure and opportunities in the first half as they outshot Walnut Hills 11-3 (on goal, 6-0) and outcornered them 6-0. Still, the score remained knotted at the half. The first 18 minutes of the second half were much like the first and just when it appeared destined for nil-nil outcome, Jake Nye sped down the right flank and played a cross in to Chris Kuramoto. He found a way to settle it and amidst a scrum of defenders found a way to turn and score from 3 yards out on the right side.

Ursuline Academy 4, Loveland 0 . The Tigers played a tough game against a very experienced Ursuline team Aug. 29. Loveland had several opportunities to score but couldn’t capitalize. Ursuline, who pulls girls from all over the city, was too much of a match for Loveland this year. The girls really stepped up in the second half and only gave up 1 goal with 4 minutes left in the game. Loveland 3, Indian Hill 0. Loveland controlled the game from the start. At 34:15 Kathryn Johnson hit Jenna Myklebust – the result was a corner, but the girls could not convert. At 28:56 Mackenzie Veith hit Jordyn Jackson, who slid it to Carla Weismantel but the goalie intercepted the play. Sierra Wood sent the ball up to Lauren Dusold, who shot wide. At 18:11 Chelsie Pippa shot a beautiful shot that just barely goes wide. Tia Ariapad, Jillian Kemmet and Rachel Baker run a combination that confuses Indian Hill’s defense but the shot is wide. At 10:22 Baker passes to Kate Swaine who passes to Katrina James, who makes a move around her mark and sends a rocket into the goal. In the second half, the defensive efforts of Natalie Baker, Mary Lloyd, Sierra Wood, and Jessie Comorosky continued to shut out Indian Hill’s offense. Loveland continued with great combinations from its mid-field and forwards. At 24:42 Rachel Baker sent a through-ball up to Lauren Dusold, who gets to the ball at the same time as IH’s goalie. The ball bounces off and Jordyn Jackson was there to put it in. At this point Indian Hill pushed the ball up the field and made several attempts at scoring but Loveland stopped them. At 17:23 Cassie Nedeljko crossed to Kathryn Johnson, who popped it up to Swaine but the goalie interceded. At 1:42 left in the game Katrina James hit Carla Weismantel and she put the ball into the left corner. Chelsie Pippa continued to place perfect corners for Loveland, and goalie Brooke Weber is accredited with the shut-out. After a discouraging loss to Ursuline, Loveland’s coaches Julie Heemer and Buck Hasenmueller worked with the girls on finishing. They put their efforts to good use and scored 3 to Indian Hills 0.

Loveland 3, Oak Hills 0. It was a hot and sunny evening for Loveland JV Men’s Soccer to host Oak Hills for its first home game on the new turf field. Joe Misiti started the scoring off for Loveland about 7 minutes in with a nice shot that popped over the Oak Hills goalie when he advanced out. The shot was from about 18 yards. With 13 minutes left until halftime, an own-goal was scored by an Oak Hills player; off a shot crossed directly in front of the goal from the right side by Karl Mattes who was credited with an assist. Loveland was up 2-0 at the half. The second half demonstrated much more physical play resulting in one Loveland and two Oak Hills players being issued yellow cards. With about two minutes remaining in the game, Loveland’s 3rd goal was scored by Kyle Mattes from a deflection off of the Oak Hills keeper, which was originally shot by Alex Burpee. Team goalkeepers John Lundeen and Dean Lowry keeping a clean sheet, left the final score of the game 3-0 Loveland.

Matt Beachy put a second Loveland goal in the net in the ninth minute, also about six yards out directly in front of the goal from a ball that had been worked forward by Marty Bixler from the left side. With about 15 minutes remaining in the first half, Indian Hill managed to score once more. Loveland would put goal No. 3 on the scoreboard with about 12 minutes remaining in the half when Kyle Mattes centered the ball in from the left side setting Karl Mattes up to finish strong with a well-placed header. A fourth goal came for Loveland about two minutes into the second half; also scored by Karl Mattes, from about 18 yards out, off another direct pass from Kyle Mattes. The remainder of the second half saw Loveland with a monopoly on possession. The game ended with a final score of 4-2.

Loveland 2, Turpin 2 The Loveland Tigers boys’ team battled a tough and fit Turpin squad to a 2-2 tie after leading 2-0 at the half Sept. 3. Loveland dominated the first half in shots and possession with several opportunities in the first 20 minutes. Finally, in the 34th minute, Erik Michelfelder’s cross found center back, Austin Klueh who had stepped into the attack. Klueh finished from 5 yards out, left of center to the far post. In the 37th minute, a long throw-in was deflected by co-captain, Brian Kuramoto’s head and eventually fell to the feet of brother, Chris, who finished from 1 yard out left of center, to make it 2-0, Loveland at the half. Once again, Loveland defended well and received solid goal keeping from Alex Austin. Turpin turned up the pressure in the second half and it paid off in the 62nd minute when a shot from 18 yards out resulted in a rebound to an opportunistic Turpin forward who finished from 4 yards just left of center. Then, two minutes later in the 64th minute, a long free kick ended up in a scrum in front of the goal where it was headed home from 2 yards out, just left of center. The physical play ended up with three yellow cards and one red card. Shots: 18-10 (L - T); Shots On Goal: 6-5 (T - L); Corners: 7-5 (T-L); Fouls: 11-10 (T-L)

Milford-Miami Twp. has a lot to offer
The Milford Miami Township Chamber of Commerce is celebrating more than 60 years of service to our businesses and community. In the spring, the chamber partners with Frontier Days Inc. awarding more than $3,000 in scholarships at our annual Dinner of Excellence. We join with our excellentwith-distinction-rated Milford Exempted Village School District, Live Oaks accreditation courses, Milford Christian Academy, St. Andrews and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, in recognizing outstanding teachers, and our Partners in Education. Promoting great educational opportunities for our children will ensure the area’s future. At our annual fall dinner Oct. 28, we recognize four categories of contribution: Large business, small business, volunteer service person of the year, and community investment.
The Milford Miami Township and Clermont chambers are working with Clermont County on “Think LocalShop Local.” Our goal is to Karen Huff e n c o u r a g e Community everyone who and works Press guest lives in Clermont columnist County to think of where they shop, hoping many will realize it affects everyone. It’s vitally important to make a conscious decision to support all local businesses first. “Milford’s small town charm is due, in part, to a vibrant historic Main Street,” said Milford City Manager Loretta Rokey. “Our success depends upon loyal repeat customers from the surrounding area who enjoy the diversity and
personal service that Milford’s Main Street provides.” “With the diversity of local businesses here, there isn’t a need for people to drive across town to dine or shop,” said Chris Hamm, owner of Latitudes Café and Buffalo Harry’s in Milford. “We are seeing a growing number of local people and those from neighboring counties and states visiting our establishments; lots are repeat customers. Many local residents are also choosing to shops and dine locally as a way to conserve energy.” “When citizens eat at local restaurants and shop at retail businesses across Clermont County, it directly benefits the community they call home,” said Clermont Commissioner Ed Humphrey. “A portion of the money you spend for these services is returned to the county to fund local government services, including the sheriff’s office, jail,
For the first time in a while, there is no contested race for Loveland City Council this year. What does that say about the way the current council and administration are running the city? No responses. What do you think is the enduring legacy of Ted Kennedy? “I will always believe that his birth into a privileged family is the only reason for his rise to prominence. “I also believe that the left will try to whitewash and minimize the terrible tragedy he caused to happen at Chappaquiddick, and they will overlook his expulsion from Harvard for cheating, his alcoholism, his womanizing and his support for abortion, saying that ‘He who is without sin should cast the first stone.’ “They did the same thing after President Clinton was impeached, and the Senate acquitted him. “One-hundred years from now, when passions have subsided, I suspect that Ted will be remembered chiefly for causing the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, and for getting away with it. “If he had been a conservative, I suspect he would have been treated differently. B.B. “I try not to think of Ted Kennedy!” L.A.D.B. “As the CNN coverage discussed the life of Ted Kennedy in the context of his place within the Camelot Kingdom, and within the context of Ted as an individual within the Kennedy clan, I reflected upon Ted as an individual who served as a great change agent for our country, and someone who had experienced great transformative learning, probably starting with the infamous 1969 Chappaquidick Island event, during which he was participating in the Edgartown Yacht Club regatta, which lasted over several days. “During this period, there was also a reunion of the ‘Boiler Room Girls,’ six young women who had been key supporters to Robert Kennedy’s 1968 presidential campaign. Kennedy offered to ride Mary Jo Kopechne back to her hotel, but a policeman noticed Kennedy’s big Oldsmobile making

Kennedy claimed he swam clear of the car, called out for Mary Jo, swam back under and couldn’t make it physically, so he went many houses away, called his friends and found himself in his own room by 2:30 a.m. “If he would have reported the accident immediately, the police would likely have been able to save her, since they said she was probably breathing air for at least two hours! “This tragedy caused many to turn against Ted. Prior to this event, he was seen as a rich, selfcentered, alcoholic playboy. After having to deal with the personal responsibility for his part in another person’s death, and the political repercussions for himself and his family, the affect on his immediate family, this tragedy along with losing the 1980 Democratic Presidential bid to Jimmy Carter, seems to have really driven Ted to become the best senator he could become, to become the crusader for the poor, the underprivileged, those of all races and beliefs. “Ted wrote and sponsored a breath-taking amount of legislation and had a wonderful ability to work across the aisle, for the common good, something we try and learn in our own Antioch Leadership and Change Program, yet see so rarely in Congress, where special interests, fear, and animosity prevail. “Ted, like all of us, was a human being, subject to many of the frailties that all of are, but he also acknowledged them, faced them courageously, and when he fell, he got up again, smiled, and went back into the arena, and did more good work...” W.W.
Misleading headline
The Sept. 2 issue of The Loveland Herald included a solid article on the city of Loveland’s proposal to issue $2.3 million in bonds to refinance existing water debt, pay for overdue recreation improvements, and replace essential city snow removal equipment. Unfortunately, though, there was a big disconnect between the article’s accurate portrayal and its headline, “Adding debt to pay bills.” I want to quickly reassure Loveland taxpayers that our city is not taking on additional debt to simply pay bills. Thanks to careful planning, strict budget discipline and innovative strategies, the city of Loveland is in
no way over-indebted or borrowing to make ends meet. Our community’s fiscal health is the envy of many cities in this very difficult economy. To clarify, this debt issue represents a key element of council and city management’s long-term strategy to keep Loveland in the black. It will allow us to take advantage of historically low interest rates to refinance existing debt. Refinancing this water debt is just like refinancing a home at a lower interest rate-we save money on interest payments. The other debt being considered will replace city assets, such as the dump trucks we use to plow snow, and the city hall HVAC system. Replacing the city hall HVAC

system will actually reduce operating costs in the future and will lower our use of fossil fuels. I appreciate The Loveland Herald reporting on the city’s activities and finances, and the body of the article was accurate. It is very important to the city that our residents know what it is that we spend their hardearned tax dollars on, and to know what they get in return. I am afraid this headline would leave some of our residents concerned with the city’s financial condition when in fact our community’s financial shape is very healthy. Harry D Steger Assistant finance director City of Loveland
Ethics determine our reflection Before we start casting stones it is always a good idea to consider all of the issues, including our own. Yes, I know, but I taught ethics and am now very involved in medical ethics. For clarification, medical ethics is no different than any other type of ethics other than sometimes lives and medical advancements are at stake. This merely makes it critical. My question for you is whether you think common folks (I consider myself as one) are to be held to a lesser standard than “elite” people of various callings. For the purpose of this essay consider that you have the opportunity to commit some ethical lapse and there is little possibility that you will be caught. In the course of our lives, we all face some tempting situations. Take some time to think this over. OK, time is up! Consider all the reasons why you would not do this. Now, think about all the reasons why you might be tempted. Let’s face it. There are some situations where we might submit to this temptation. Sometimes, it is our financial situation that forces
a tough decision. Would you fault a poor single mother who has a hungry baby for doing what a more fortunate person would not have to do? Edward Levy Would you blame her Community because her poor Press guest choices might columnist have caused the problem in the first place? Did our society either cause or allow her to make bad decisions? What we learn from this exercise is that sometimes bad ethical choices are made for many reasons. Some of them may make the decision reasonable to many people. Many of us would still fault the mother of the starving baby. Where most of us would agree is the recent scandal in New Jersey. People who have positions of trust should have the same ethical standards as the rest of us, but they should, by virtue of that trust hold themselves to higher public scruti-
ny. Now we are getting to my point. We cannot control the ethical decisions of others, but we are very much in charge of our own ethics. A clear example is how crooked politicians stay in office. The same is true for religious leaders. This is our fault. We should demand better ethics and punish wrongdoers. Let’s take a self examination of our ethical standards. When our desire for money or fame becomes more important than our own ethical values the only definition that fits is greed. We have only to look at the people who have made news lately to see that greed is the proper term to use for them. Most of us would rather lead a straight and modest life than to worry about who is watching us and why. This is not to vilify those who become wealthy or famous by legitimate means. They most often perform a service to society. They create wealth for others by their lifestyle. What really matters is when we can look in the mirror and say “this is someone I am proud of.” Edward Levy is a longtime resident of Montgomery and a former college instructor.

Deer Park athletic director Rob Hamman replaces Terry Hartley, who retired at the end of last school year.
AD adjusting to new position By Amanda Hopkins ahopkins@communitypress.com
It’s a change of scenery, but Rob Hamman is adjusting well to his new position as the athletic director at Deer Park City Schools. Hamman said that the environment and the new position are quite an adjustment, and he has spent his first few weeks on the job getting to know the people and the duties. Hamman spent three years as principal at the Hope Academy in Mt. Healthy, a state-chartered, non-public, independent high school for students with special educational needs. With no previous experience as an athletic director, Hamman said he was attracted to the position after building good professional relationships with a few Deer Park district staff members. He said he has coached during his time as an educator including coaching a variety of sports while teaching at Covington Independent Schools. He also has taught many different subjects including social
studies, carp e n t r y, advanced literature and special education woodshop. He said is Hamman looking forward to engaging the students and giving them more opportunities to share their experiences as athletes. Hamman said he wants to use the athletic Web site as a blog for athletes to use to write about the games, events and practices they participate in. “It’s getting more students to tell the Deer Park story,” Hamman said. Hamman has two bachelor degrees, including one in anthropology, and holds a masters in education from Xavier University. He is also licensed as a teacher, principal and superintendent by the state. He has two young sons that he takes golfing, fishing and to Dayton Dragons baseball games. Hamman said he is most looking forward to learning the job, helping the coaches and “providing the best possible student-athlete experience.”

The Price family of Loveland enthusiastically participated in Summer Reading. They picked up their “Library SuperStar” sign at the Loveland Branch Library during the Save Our Libraries rally in July, and then proudly displayed it in their yard during the summer months.
Kids, teens achieve superstar status
From June 1 to July 31, more than 17,000 preschoolers, kids, and teens and nearly 2,500 adults in Hamilton County achieved Library Superstar status during Creature Feature, the 36th annual Summer Reading program. Along the way, these sensational summer readers encountered creatures of all kinds between the covers of books and in-person at the Library’s lineup of creepy crawly programs. Upon completing the final level, they earned the treasured book prize and proudly displayed their “A Library Superstar Lives Here” yard signs for all to see. This year the entire family – parents and grandparents, too – experienced the power of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County’s Summer Reading program together. Plus, by actually participating alongside the Library Superstars in their lives, adults generated superstar powers of their own and became Reading Role Models. Research suggests that seeing adults engaged in reading for pleasure is one of the best ways to promote childhood literacy and help children grow into happy, productive, and literate adults.

Playing hide-and-seek, but not really seeking All humans live in hiding from themselves. That’s one of Albert Camus’ central insights about human nature. We practice what psychology calls repression and denial – thereby remaining unconscious to who we really are. Why hide certain experiences or realities of our life? We fear it would be too difficult or frightening dealing with them. We prefer, as Kierkegaard puts it, to tranquilize ourselves with the trivial. Hiding strong personal elements from ourselves is usually futile. They keep trying to get our attention. They express themselves through symptoms such as anxiety, stomach trouble, insomnia, headaches, irritation or depression. True, some depression comes from chemical imbalances and must be treated with medication. But another kind of depression can be caused by pushing down and away i.e. depressing, unwelcome feelings. One of the strange things about our feelings is, however, that we can’t just bury the unpleasant ones and keep the pleasant ones. They’re all intertwined. Bury anger and we bury the
potential for joy; bury sexuality and we bury spontaneity; bury conflict and we Father Lou bury peace Guntzelman of mind. SympPerspectives toms of hidden and scary feelings tap on the walls of our minds and bodies as if to say, “You can’t lead a full life unless you deal with me and achieve a certain understanding of me as part of your life.” Those of us who have been abused or neglected, bruised or wounded by significant others, must come face to face with our pain and the truth about the whole situation. Understanding the truth will help set us free. It’s difficult for us, but doing so begins healing and integration. Often, facing what we’ve kept hidden is best accomplished with the assistance of a competent professional counselor. One example of the hidden being revealed occurred when I was pastor and a young woman made an
appointment. During it she denounced her current boyfriend and his interest in sex. She showed me newspaper articles confirming her belief that our culture is too permissive and men are the villains causing it all. She wanted me to write about it and preach about it to my parishioners. It was her growing intensity, her insistence and deepening rage that led me to suspect there was much more to her concerns. After a long period of listening, I asked her gently, “Would you be willing to tell me what happened to you? Did someone hurt you or frighten you?” What followed was a profound change in her behavior. She stared into space in silence. Then, with contorted face, an angry snarl in her voice, she whispered, “I was raped when I was 18, and by damn, no man will ever have that power over me again!” With some relief, she said she had hidden and denied that fact for years. She tried – and for a while it worked – to consider that trauma as just a nightmare. She never wondered why she was not able “to find the right guy” with whom to
consider marriage. Her repressed fear of sex and anger at men were affecting her life tremendously. From that point on she was willing to confer with a psychologist and work through the brutal disrespect forced on her by her attacker.A healthier life was ahead for her.
She proved more courageous than most people are wont to be in facing what’s hidden inside. Too many of us fulfill Camus’ claim that most humans live in hiding from themselves. Father Lou Guntzelman is a

“What is this yellow stuff growing in my mulch?� That slimy stuff is called “dog bark fungus� and really isn’t a fungus, but is a slime mold.

Just fluff it up and let it dry, or scoop it up and throw it away. “I have mushrooms popping up in my lawn.

Let’s take a moment and answer some of your great gardening questions! “What is that blue green stuff growing on my tree trunks, and how do I get rid of it?� That blue-green stuff is very common and it’s called lichens. It’s an unusual combination of algae and fungus growing together on the top of the plant’s bark. No, lichens will not harm your tree and no, it doesn’t mean your tree is dying. But, lichens enjoy the sun, and if by chance your tree or plant is declining, so that there are fewer leaves and more sunlight hitting the lichens, they will respond by growing more vigorously. But again, lichens are a
ic matter is breaking down in the soil, and the weather conditions are right, mushrooms can appear. Decaying roots from a tree, small twigs, grass blades, any organic debris in the soil, mulch, even soil amendments can result with a few mushrooms popping up. So what can you do to prevent them? Not a whole lot. Fungicidal sprays aren’t really recommended for control, and it would be almost impossible to remove the organic matter from the soil (You actually want organic matter in your soil). If you pick them and throw them away, you may prevent some of the spores from spreading, but those spores are spread long distance in the winds, so that really doesn’t help much. The only reason I can see to collect them and throw them away is to keep them away from the kids and the pets, as some mushrooms can be toxic. So when you see mushrooms, step on them, mow them, pick and throw away if you want. And if you’re a golfer, I say get out the clubs and practice your swings on the mushrooms. I mean, hey, they’re already teed up and ready to hit. “I have a limey green grass that grows faster
than the other grass. I also see it in my landscape beds. What is it, and how do I get rid of it?� It’s called nutgrass and can be one of the toughest weeds to get rid of. Nutgrass, or sometimes called watergrass or nutsedge, isn’t really a grass – it’s a sedge – and a tough one to get rid of. It grows faster than grass, has the limey green color, and loves low poorly drained areas, although it will grow just about anywhere. It is a perennial, and reproduces from seed, tubers and nutlets, which makes it so hard to get rid of. So how do you tackle it? Hand pulling the younger plants may have some control, but once the tubers and nutlets have formed underground, pulling becomes a waste of time. But you can dig them out, making sure you get the plant, tubers, nutlets and all. In open landscape beds, spot treating with Roundup, Kleenup or Sedgehammer works best – and be sure to use a surfactant for better results. But it will take repeated applications. Spray it, kill it, and if it regrows, spray again. Spray only the nutgrass. In the lawn, there are several chemicals that list nutgrass, but I like Sedgehammer the best. Again, use with a surfactant. Spot treat the lawn as needed (only spray the infected areas), and watch for regrowth and a possible followup spray. NOTE: For optimum
Plant of the week
OK, all you Buckeye fans, so you’d like to grow your own buckeyes, but just don’t have the room for a buckeye tree? No frets, as I have the perfect answer for you! Aesculus parviflora, or commonly known as Bottlebrush Buckeye. And it’s not a tree, but instead a large growing shrub! And way underused in the landscape, if I must say so myself. Bottlebrush Buckeye has the same gray brown stems and palmately compound medium green leaves as the Buckeye trees, but will grow to about 8-10 feet in height and width – as a suckering multistemmed shrub – so give it plenty of room to spread out. And it’ll grow in the sun or the shade! Bottlebrush Buckeye flowers in late June and early July with 8- to 12-inch long cylindrical white flowers that resemble a bottlebrush. It gives a very nice show of color that time of the year. As the flowers fade, the traditional buckeye nuts begin to appear, and will ripen in late September and early October. These are easily grown from seed, but you must collect the seeds just as they begin to fall to the ground in late September, and sow them fresh from the tree. If you wait until later in the fall, the seeds typically will not grow. control, you must use a surfactant to help these chemicals work. Basically the surfactant helps the chemicals stick to the waxy slick foliage of the nutgrass, which in turn gives you better results, and less repeated spraying.

DO YOU WANT TO BE SAVED?
Only one time, in the entire bible, is the question asked. “What must I do to be saved?” (Acts 16:30). In the next verse (Acts 16:31) the question is answered, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt
Remember:

be saved, and thy house.”
Hell’s Hot Life’s Short Death’s Sure Eternity’s Long and “There Ain’t No Exits In Hell.” NO MAN KNOWS, HOW SOON IT IS TOO LATE “Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His Name in vain.” Exodus 20:7 Any way that you use God’s Name, the Lord’s Name, Jesus’ Name, other than in a Holy manner, is taking His Name in vain. For God so loved the worlds, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believed in Him Should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 Acts 2:21 And Romans 10:13 indicate that “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” In the next verse, Romans 10:14 it says, “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?” Believing precedes calling upon The name of the Lord. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” God reaffirms this truth in I Timothy 2:5 saying “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” When someone says “repeat this prayer after me to be saved” it is making people feel like they have to “do” something to be saved, other than believing. If someone is asked to say a prayer to be saved, the person who says the prayer is still on his way to hell, after repeating the prayer, if he hasn’t believed in his heart. Nowhere in the Bible is it found that a person has to pray a prayer to be saved. God does not hear a prayer unless you go to God in the name of Jesus Christ, The Only Mediator between God and man. Jesus Christ is not your Mediator unless he is your Lord and Savior. So according to God, the steps are, first, you believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. By believing as Acts 16:31 indicates, you are saved! Acts 16:30,31 is the only time in the Bible where the question is asked, “what must I do to be saved?” God answering through Paul said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. By being saved, Jesus Christ is your Lord, Savior, and Mediator between God and your self. Now you can pray to God, because you have the Mediator, Jesus Christ. I believe that when a person “prays” to God, without being saved, his prayer goes no higher than the ceiling, and God probably says, “Who do you think you are, to think that you can come to Me, without coming to Me in the only possible way that I have set out in My Word? For you come to Me, through My Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, the One and Only Mediator between you and Me.” You don’t just pull Jesus Christ out of the air, and say today I want You to get me to God, by my go-between for God! It doesn’t work that way. Jesus Christ is either your Lord and Savior, making Him your Mediator, or, if Jesus Christ is not your Lord and Savior. He is not your Mediator. I believe it is very important to stress that you are saved by believing only. John 3:16, probably the most quoted verse in the Bible, says that, “whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Again, this passage clearly prescribes believing, not repeating a prayer. In Jon 3:4, Nicodemus asks Jesus, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into this mother’s womb, and be born?” He was asking this in regard to Jesus’ statement in John 3:3, that a man needs to be born again Jesus’ answer in John 3:5 and following is “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” Nowhere does Jesus say, pray to be saved, it is always believe. Years ago, I heard Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse say “I’m deeply offended when I hear a prayer that does not end with the idea that God must be approached only through the Name and the Being of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 1:13 says “In whom (Christ) ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise.” Romans 10:9 tells us “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hat raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth (first) unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession (next) is made unto salvation.” How many people have gone to hell or are going to hell by putting their trust in the ungodly “pray the sinners prayer” or “repeat this prayer after me”, instead of believing John 3:36: “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” Luke 23:39-43 tells us “And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, if thou be Christ, save thyself and us.” But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” In these verses in Luke, we see that a man was saved by believing only. The malefactor did not, and was not instructed by Jesus, to pray, to receive salvation. He said unto Jesus, “Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verify I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” You don’t fool Jesus. Jesus knew that this man believed in Him; that this man believed that this Jesus that he was talking with was the Lord, The Messiah, the Only Begotten Son of God, the Savior, and in believing, the man was saved. Now if you think that you have to pray first; repeat, first, or anything first, before believing, why did Jesus tell him “today thou shalt be with Me in paradise?” OR if there is a need to do for anything to go along with believing believing, why didn’t Jesus tell him what that was? Jesus doesn’t make mistakes! God’s Word is true. You don’t (really you can’t), add to or take away from God’s Word, and it be true. Just leave His Word alone, and do what God said, believe, Psalm 119:89” “For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.” Revelations 22:18,19” For/testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Take your Bible and check the references that we contained herein—nothing added to and nothing taken away; and when you hear “the plan of salvation” from anyone, get your Bible out and see if it is God speaking or “someone’s” idea. I can’t see “ten steps” to salvation, I can see only one step: believe. The malefactor on the cross had but one step, and he took it. You, I, we all have “one step,” believe. Please take it, and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ for your salvation. All Scripture references are from The King James Version, (Cambridge, Cambridge) 1789.

Bed & Breakfast Feature of the Week
The Doolin House Bed & Breakfast
There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…
The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.
