“It’s something critically important to the success of small business, to keep government regulation to a minimum and to support entrepreneurship and free enterprise.”
Chamber enters health-care fray By Jeanne Houck
jhouck@communitypress.com
The Loveland Area Chamber of Commerce has sent every member of U.S. Congress a letter decrying health-care proposals on the table. “Three major concerns mentioned in the letter include a government-run plan that would increase costs and limit choice, an employer mandate that would kill jobs and lower wages and a lack of any real effort to lower healthcare costs,” said Paulette Leeper, executive director of the chamber. “It’s exactly the kind of thing that can have a severe negative impact on profitability.” The letter did not originate with the Loveland chamber; it’s an initiative pushed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Leeper said it struck a nerve with local business people. “The (U.S.) Chamber first asked its members to sign the letter in July,” she said. “At that time, there were only 53 Ohio
Leeper Schmidt businesses that did so – and 26 percent of them were from the Loveland Area Chamber of Commerce.” The letter now has been signed by members of more than 3,100 state and local chambers of commerce, associations and small businesses representing every state. This isn’t the first time the Loveland Area Chamber of Commerce has rallied around a legislative cause. The chamber’s board of trustees has weighed in on the economic implications of federal environmental legislation and the chamber joined other chambers of

A spokesman for U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Miami Township), said letters like the one sent by the Loveland Area Chamber of Commerce “certainly are something the congresswoman pays attention to.” “Those are the people who are starting businesses and providing jobs and have to live with the decisions Congress makes,” said Bruce Pfaff, Schmidt’s communications director in Washington, D.C. “The congresswoman, I think, shares the concerns of not only the chamber, but most if not all small businesses and business people,” he added. “A government-run healthcare plan will do nothing to address the areas that need to be reformed in our health-care system and the congresswoman certainly believes there needs to be some changes and reforms. “But the answer is not a government-run, health-care component,” Pfaff said.
Federal grant helps Loveland bus fleet By Jeanne Houck jhouck@communitypress.com
There soon will be six new school buses in the Loveland City Schools’ fleet – thanks in part to a federal grant designed to get old buses off the roads. The Loveland Board of Education voted Sept. 15 to accept the low bid of Miami Valley International Trucks of Sharonville for $78,695 per bus, or a total of $472,170. The cost will be partially offset by some $18,000 per bus the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will pay the school district to retire four buses, according to school district business manager John Ames. “This grant was offered by the United States EPA in an effort to remove 1993 or older school buses from the road,” Ames said. “The U.S. EPA determined that this age of vehicle produces significant pollutants and were willing to financially assist school districts to help with their removal.” The program is similar to the Cash for Clunkers program, Ames said. “The grant provides the district with $18,000 per vehicle with the understanding that the buses will have their engines destroyed to prohibit reuse,” he said. Ames said the standard lifespan of a school bus is either 12
the standard lifespan of a school bus is either 12 years or 120,00 miles. The district is replacing four buses that are 16 years old and one that is 12. years or 120,00 miles. The district is replacing four buses that are 16 years old and one that is 12. “We currently maintain a fleet of 62 active route vehicles and 11 spares that are used when active buses are out of service,” Ames said. “Typically these spares have mileage that exceeds the standard lifespan.” He said he will not be able to say when the new buses will be delivered until he places the order. Sue Beamer, transportation supervisor for the Loveland schools, worked with a Hamilton County consortium led by the Hamilton County Department of Environmental Services to secure the federal grant. Other grant recipients are the Mt. Healthy City School District to retire 20 buses, the Princeton City School District to retire 15 buses, the Forest Hills Local School District to retire 10 buses, the Norwood City School District to retire six buses, the Three Rivers Local School District to retire four buses and Oak Hills Local School District to retire four buses.

When Miami Township Sgt. John Swing discovered his wife’s GPS unit was stolen from her car, he told her she’d never see it again. “I told my wife to kiss that thing good-bye, that it was long gone and she was never going to see it again,� Swing said. But while Swing was patrolling the area around his neighborhood after the theft, he caught two teens riding bikes down Ohio 131 in dark sweatshirts at 1:30 a.m. After some interrogation, the teens admitted they had just stolen the bikes and had more stolen property stored at one of their homes. “The suspect pulled a duffel bag of stolen property out of his closet and as we were going through I saw a GPS that looked like the one my wife had,� he said. “I hit the home button and it had my home address in it.� The night his wife’s GPS was stolen, several other items were stolen from cars on Swing’s street and the sergeant was able to recover their property as well. “I’ve been catching thieves for 25 years and this was the first time I got my own stuff back,� Swing said. “It was pretty gratifying being able to recover my

Be creative, raise measles awareness While nearly eradicated in industrialized nations, measles is still a leading cause of death in children under the age of 5, especially for those living in Africa and Asia. As such, measles tends to be an afterthought in the Western society. To raise awareness, the Cincinnati Area Chapter of the American Red Cross launched the Measles Initiative as part of International Services to provide assistance to the world’s most vulnerable people.
The chapter is hosting an art contest in conjunction with the Red Cross Measles Initiative. The contest is for youth grades K-12 and young adults 18-24. The theme is “Celebrating a Child’s Best Shot at a Healthy Life.” The contest will be judged at both a local and national level. Local contest winners will receive a $25 Amazon gift card and national winners will receive a $100 Amazon gift card. The contest runs now through Oct. 29. More than 600 million
children globally have been vaccinated, reducing measles deaths by 74 percent globally. Red Cross/Red Crescent Societies have played a large role in this partnership by training volunteers to spread measles education in communities and remote areas and by offering financial support.

Miami Twp. traffic violations up 110 percent By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com
At the end of 2008, Miami Township Police Chief Steve Bailey set a goal for his officers: Increase traffic violations by 30 percent. So far, they’ve more than met that goal. Through July 2008, the department issued 1,011 traffic violations and made 76 DUI arrests. During the same period this year, the department issued 2,130
citations and made 163 DUI arrests. “As of July, we’re at 110 percent more traffic code violations so we’ve certainly exceeded our goal,” Bailey said. “We set that goal to improve upon traffic safety in the community and to increase our visibility as a crime deterrent.” Bailey said though officers were instructed to be more vigilant about traffic violations, they’re not being too harsh on residents. “They’re the kinds of
things you would want us to stop people for like speeding, reckless operation of a vehicle and drinking and driving,” he said. The majority of the revenue from these tickets goes to state and county agencies, Bailey said. Revenue from tickets is down from this point last year. The township collected $4,041 from January to July of 2008 and has collected $3,709 so far this year, according to Assistant Fiscal Officer Charlene Case.
Crashes and crimes are down 12 percent each from this point last year, which Bailey attributes to the department’s increased visibility. Those include any kind of motor vehicle accident and felonies such as burglary. “As a social scientist, I can’t say there’s a direct cause and effect, but I can say there’s a correlation,” he said. “When our traffic enforcement goes up, crime goes down. Conversely, when we slack off, crimes creep up.”
Department officers also has seen a 30-percent decrease in property crimes, which range from tossing toilet paper in trees to breaking someone’s window. “That’s a pretty important number for us considering property crimes are our number two crime here,” Bailey said. “We’re pretty happy with the way the numbers are going.” Miami Township Trustee Mary Makley Wolff said she is happy to hear the police department are cracking down
on traffic code violations and hopes residents underBailey stand why they were getting pulled over more frequently. “You walk a tight rope with trying not to anger residents with traffic stops, but they’re doing it with the intention of slowing people down and preventing injuries,” Wolff said. “It’s also good when something we do actually prevents crime.”
VA has new Clermont Co. location By Kellie Geist
kgeist@communitypress.com
KELLIE GEIST/STAFF
Christine Royer, a veteran and employee, checks a patient into the new Veterans Outpatient Clinic Clermont, which is located at the corner of Ohio 32 and Beechwood Road. This facility replaces the old clinic on Ferguson Road.
The Veterans Affairs outpatient clinic in Clermont County has a new home. The new clinic opened Sept. 1 with twice the space as the one located on Ferguson Road and plenty of room to grow. “(The Cincinnati VA) serves 17 counties and, out of those, Clermont County is our largest service to veterans,” said Todd Sledge, public affairs officer with the Cincinnati VA. “As this area continued to grow, we continued to expand our services ... But we just ran out of real estate.”
The new clinic is at the corner of Ohio 32 and Beechwood Road (across from the Roy Roger’s) on what used to be Bells Lake. The clinic on Ferguson Road is closed. “This new office will help us be able to keep up with the ever growing population of veterans in Clermont County,” Sledge said. The Cincinnati VA operates five outpatient clinics and one satellite clinic. Of those, the new Clermont clinic is the largest. There are currently four primary care physicians at the clinic and space for three more. The clinic also houses mental health care providers,
pediatrists, optometrists and nutritionists. Community Based Outpatient Clinic Administrator Kim Shockey said they also are hoping to house a cardiologist and dermatologist in the future. While the clinic looks a bit like an urgent care, Shockey said patients do need to schedule an appointment to see a doctor. However, the VA won’t turn anyone away. Shockey said while the amount of space is a definite benefit for the new facility, the new location and better visibility also is a great change. “At our other location, we were off the main road. It was very hard to find us
before,” Shockey said. “The visibility and accessibility here is unbelievable.” In addition to the doctors the clinic houses, the Clermont County Veterans Service Office also has a satellite office at the clinic. “That office is fully accommodating so we can visit with our veteran service men and women and talk about their benefits,” said Dan Bare, director of the Clermont County Veterans Service Office. “That office is a major benefit because, in many cases, the veteran might not know about us and visa versa ... Having a presence at the clinic is a great fit.”

Knights surrender to the Tigers
Miami 310-109, as seven different Eagles scored touchdowns, including senior Doyen Harris, who had touchdown runs of 13 and 30 yards; senior Ben Peters, who returned an interception 55 yards for a score; junior fullback Didi Charles, who scored from two yards out; junior Nick Lawley, who scored from three yards out; and senior Andrew Perkins, who scored from 11 yards out. The Eagles (3-1, 1-0) play at North College Hill Sept. 25.
By Ricky Mulvey Correspondent
Through teamwork and rushing the ball, the Loveland Tigers defeated the Kings Knights 41-14. This will even up the Tigers record at 2-2. “We won because we stuck to our game plan of running the ball or as Coach Shepherd likes to put it ‘pound the rock.’ Also we only had one pass on the night,” coach Brian Morra said. Something to be noted, though, is that Kings fought well considering they have only three seniors. The first quarter started with a 20-yard carry by Kings sophomore Jamir Westbrook. That would not prove to turn into anything as on the next set of downs Loveland’s Isaac Spence sacked King’s Johnny Brewster, forcing a punt. On that drive after pushing the ball up the field, Kylee Knabe of the Tigers ran in a 19-yard touchdown. The Kings would try again only to be stopped and have to punt once more to Loveland. For his first of many huge runs on the night Loveland’s Adam Engel had a QB sneak that would be good for 35 yards. With no yards by air the ball was taken to the goal line. Engel would then sneak it in for a Loveland touchdown. The Tigers pulled away with the lead at a score of 14-0. Then after two big runs by Jamir Westbrook of Kings, the quarter was over. In the second quarter the action started quickly with a shovel pass from Johnny Brewster to Jamir Westbrook good for a Kings TD. This got rid of the Kings goose egg to bring the score to 147. The Tigers then drove the ball up to the 26 yard line and were faced with a 4th and 6. The pressure was on so Loveland called a timeout. Engel then ran to his left side only to break five defenders, ran back his right side and ran 26 yards for a Tiger touchdown. That would be the last event of

the half and the score was 20-7 after Loveland’s extra point being blocked. Engel struck again in the second play of the third quarter with a 65-yard run to the house. With the extra point the Tigers now had a comfortable lead at 27-7. Kings would then have little time with the ball as Engel had an interception and ran it to the end zone for a pick-6, to bring the score to 34-7. After an unsuccessful drive by Kings, Loveland got the ball and for the first time in the whole game the Tigers were forced to punt. The Knights marched the ball down the field and Johnny Brewster of Kings snuck the ball past the goal line for a Knights’ TD, 3414. On the next drive for Loveland Kylee Knabe found an opening and ran 50 yards before he was finally taken down at the 5yard line. At the start of the 4th quarter Kings Supporters now sparsely populated the stands. Five seconds in Kylee Knabe ran a touchdown for what became the final score, 41-14. Later in the quarter Zach Elias of Loveland picked off a pass and ran it 50 yards.

Moeller 49, Findlay 7
The Crusaders kept its undefeated season alive with a week-four win on the road over Findlay, 49-7. Moeller hosts Mentor in week five at Lockland Stadium at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26. In week four, Moeller out-gained Findlay by a 615-146 yard margin during its 42-point victory. The Crusaders scored 21 points in both the first and second quarters and had a 42-7 lead going into halftime. Joseph Bracken carried
the ball for 133 yards and a touchdown on 26 attempts for Moeller. Richie Dyer scored twice on the ground while gaining 100 yards on 10 carries. Tucker Skove (10 carries, 87 yards and one touchdown) and Jeff Aubin (nine carries, 78 yards, two touchdowns) also had productive days on the ground for Moeller.

CCD 27, Clark Montessori 6
The stakes are high as the rivals from Cincinnati Country Day and Summit Country Day prepare for a week-five showdown at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25. CCD kept its undefeated season alive with its weekfour win over Clark Montessori, 27-6, as the Indians improved to 4-0. Summit fell to 3-1 with its week-four loss to the 4-0 squad from Lockland, 41-6. CCD senior standout Max Dietz scored on the opening kickoff in week four to give his Indians an immediate 60 lead over Clark. However, Clark tied the game at 6-6 and the score remained the same until late in the second quarter. But before the whistle for halftime, Dietz scored two more touchdowns in the last four minutes of the second quarter on a 60-yard run and a five-yard run to open the game up. All told, Dietz accounted for 290 all-purpose yards, scored all four of his team’s touchdowns and recorded an interception on defense. Dietz rushed for 161 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries during the Indian’s week-four win. In addition to playing offense and defense, Dietz is also the punter and kicker for CCD. Aside from Dietz’s standout play, Dunn also credited linebacker Wyatt Tiffany with helping lead CCD’s defense against Clark.
Tigers aim for third straight FAVC title By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
Don’t let the early season losses fool you. The Loveland High School girls’ tennis team is legit. The Tigers opened the season by dropping a pair of 4-1 matches to Lakota East and Lakota West, both of which are ranked in the top three in the city. “Those are two big-time programs,” Loveland head coach Shawn Barone said. “I like to play them in the beginning of the season to see where we stand and to get ready for our conference.” Loveland appears ready. Since those two losses, the Tigers have gone 7-2 overall – including 4-0 in the FAVC – and boast 5-0 wins over Glen Este, Cincinnati Country Day, Harrison and Mariemont. They also bested Wyoming (3-2),
Anderson (4-1), Mason (32) and Winton Woods (41). The Tigers have been led by their top doubles’ tandem, Olivia Reaney and Catherine Wells, who have posted a 6-2 record, including 2-0 in the FAVC. “This is the first time they’ve played together,” Barone said. “They’re really good friends off the court, so maybe that’s why they communicate so well. They really mesh well together.” The duo was responsible for Loveland’s only point against both Lakota East and Lakota West. “They worked really hard in the offseason,” Barone said. Also contributing is No. 1 singles’ player Emily Schwarberg (3-5, 1-1), whose overall record does not accurately depict what she has meant to her team. “It’s a tough spot to be in,” Barone said. “She
always has to play a tough match and never has an easy opponent to help her record. She’s improved a lot from last year, and the girls have rallied around her.” Other contributors include Cara Genbauffe (43, 2-0), Tara Main (2-0, 10) and Kirsten Baker (3-3, 1-0), as well as doubles’ players CJ Mayo, Jaden Kemmet, Natalie Huezo and Chandler Smith. “(Genbauffe) wasn’t on the roster last year, and now she’s No. 2 singles,” Barone said. “She’s done an excellent job and won the deciding match against Mason, which has been our biggest win of the year so far.” Loveland hopes to win its third straight FAVC title and to win its flight in the Coaches Classic, which begins Sept. 24. “I’m really pleased with where we are right now,” Barone said. “We’re clicking on all cylinders.”

Loveland JV posts big win at Turpin The following is a compilation of submitted wrap-ups of the last week’s boys junior varsity football games. Loveland 14, Turpin 6 – The Tigers traveled to Turpin to open the season against the Spartans Aug. 29. The Tiger’s defense dominated Turpin throughout the first half, keeping them pinned down on their half of the field. After several near misses, Loveland finally got on the scoreboard with a 40-yard punt return by Trevor Henderson and an extra point by Jonathan Treloar. The Spartans answered with a long touchdown run to pull within a point in the third quarter, but failed in their extra point attempt. A stunning run by Kylee Knabe capped off the scoring. Lebanon 18, Loveland 17 – The Loveland junior varsity football team traveled north to face the Lebanon Warriors Sept. 5 looking for their second win of the season. Loveland’s Robby Mulvey electrified the crowd with a lengthy kick return to the Lebanon one-yard line, moments later quarterback Andrew Lay punched it in for an early score. Lebanon answered with a touchdown followed by a missed extra point. Late in the same quarter, Collin Schulke scored Loveland’s second touchdown. Jonathan Treloar kicked his second extra point one the day to put Loveland on top 14 to 6.
The Warriors opened up the second quarter with a 15yard touchdown pass. Again they tried and failed at their point after attempt. Collin Schulke returned a Lebanon punt to their 48-yard line setting up a field goal by Jonathan Treloar giving the Tigers a 17 to 12 lead at the half. Lebanon scored another touchdown in the third quarter putting them on top 18 to 17. The defenses took over the remainder of the game keeping both teams out of the end zone. Jay Hubble intercepted a Warrior pass to give the Tigers one last chance to prevail. The Warriors defense held and Lebanon came away with the win. McNicholas 8, Loveland 3 – The JV Tigers hosted the McNicholas Rockets this past Saturday, Sept. 12. Both teams defenses kept the offense in check through the first half. Jonathan Treloar got the Tiger on the scoreboard first, however, with a 27-yard field goal with just seven seconds left before halftime. McNicholas responded with a 23-yard pass early in the third quarter. They successfully added a two-point conversion to take the lead 8-3. The defenses again took over holding both teams scoreless through the remainder of the game. Kings 26, Loveland 21 Tigers’ running back Ryan Smith opened the game with a 40-yard touchdown run to
give Loveland the early lead against Kings Sept. 19. Kings was quick to answer after a fumble recovery on the Loveland 15-yard line. A few plays later the score was tied. Midway through the 2nd quarter Kings erupted with a 45-yard TD around end. Moments later they scored again with a 34-yard pass and run for a touchdown. The extra point was missed however. Kings added more points as they recovered a fumbled punt return on the Loveland 11 and punched it in from there to go on top 26 - 7 at the half after another missed extra point. Loveland came out in the second half determined to get back into the game. Justin Diaz led that effort with a 9 yard touchdown run to cap off a 51 yard scoring drive. Loveland’s defense forced a 3 and out forcing Kings to punt deep in their territory. With the 20-yard punt return to the Kings 39, the Tigers were ready to strike. Andrew Lay completed a 36yard pass to Jonathan Treloar for a touchdown to bring them within 5 point at 26-21. The home crowd was enjoying an incredible comeback and it appeared things were falling in place for Loveland to pull the win after the defense force another 3 and out by Kings. The Tigers proceeded to drive the ball from their own 46-yard line highlighted by a 10-yard pass from Lay to Fon Ngu to the 5-yard line. They drove the ball to the one yard line before on 4th down a Tiger pass dropped to secure the win for the Knights of Kings.

Loveland soccer teams pick up 4 more wins Boys JV soccer
Loveland 0, Fairfield 0 – Loveland traveled to Fairfield for its fifth game of the season, Sept. 8. The team was met with rain-soaked field conditions. Defense quickly became the name of the game for both teams, with all offensive advances being effectively shut down. The first half ended with a 0-0 score. The second half saw an increase in shots on goal from Fairfield’s offense. As a result, Dean Lowry stepped up making several critical saves in the goal for the Tigers. Loveland’s offense increased their attempts as well, taking a few promising shots as the minutes ticked off the clock. None could be converted; however, and the game would end in a 0-0 tie.
Sycamore 1, Loveland 0 – A disappointing second loss occurred as Loveland’s junior varsity boys met up with Sycamore, Sept. 12. The Tigers held off all scoring attempts Sycamore made until about midway through the second half. Despite a very determined late-game surge on Loveland’s part, they were not able to even the score and fell 1-0.
Boys varsity soccer
Sycamore 4, Loveland 2 – The Loveland Tigers boys fought gamely, but lost to a well prepared Sycamore squad, Sept. 12. Sycamore jumped out early, scoring in the second minute on a nice cross and finish from five yards out on the right side. Loveland almost answered in the 13th minute as a Greg McMullen throw-in was flicked just wide by Tyler Beachy. Sycamore pretty much dominated most of the first half and their pressure paid off in the 38th minute when another cross from the right side was recrossed from the far post to a Sycamore player who literally chested/shouldered it in from a yard out on the right side to make it, 2-0, Sycamore going into the half. Loveland came out with a great deal of energy and absolutely dominated the first
13 minutes of the second half but could not convert. Then, Sycamore countered in the 53rd minute and Loveland was whistled for a controversial foul in the penalty area. Sycamore converted the PK to make it, 3-0. Chris Kuramoto responded in the 56th minute with a great first touch on a mishit goal kick that resulted in a breakaway that he finished from 14 yards out, just left of center underneath the onrushing keeper. Tyler Beachy crossed to Kuramoto in the 65th minute and a nifty move allowed Kuramoto to hit a laser from 12 yards out on the left side which beat a stunned keeper to the near post to cut the lead to 3-2. Unfortunately, Loveland pushed up and was caught in another counter breakaway in the 72nd minute to complete the scoring, 4-2, for Sycamore. Shots (On Goal): 13(7)11(4) (Sycamore - Loveland); corners: 7-3 (L-S); fouls: 9-9 (L-S). Loveland 1, Anderson 0 – The Loveland Tigers Boys team emerged from a tight match with rival Anderson, winning. For the first time in well over a year, Loveland fouled its opponent more. The free kicks in Loveland’s defensive third were very dangerous as one hit the left post as others nearly missed. The first half was fairly evenly played with only nine shots between the two teams (only two total on goal). Defenders, Brian Kuramoto, Austin Klueh, Andrew Schuster and Michael Sonnenberg played well as did keeper, Alex Austin. Loveland played with much more energy in the second half and in the 51st minute, Adam Howaniec’s corner kick fell to the feet of Tyler Beachy. Beachy’s shot from 15 yards out directly in front was deflected to the feet of Chris Kuramoto who calmly trapped it and then drilled home the game winner from five yards out, on the right side. Shots (On Goal): 16 (4)10 (2) (Loveland - Anderson); corners: 7-2 (L-A); fouls: 14-4 (L-A).
Girls varsity soccer
Loveland 4, Glen Este 2 – The Loveland girls defeated
Glen Este, 4-2, in a game with end-to-end action and plenty of offense, Sept. 10 Glen Este came out with a lot of spirit and played Loveland tough in the opening minutes. Their effort paid off in the 14th minute as a free kick from near midfield was gathered in by a racing Glen Este forward who finished the breakaway by dribbling around the keeper and finishing from five yards out on a tight angle from the right side. Loveland responded in the 20th minute when Mollie Kuramoto’s free kick from 30 yards beyond the right corner was ripped high, upper 90 to the far post, to even it at 1-1. In the 28th minute, Hannah Maloney’s corner from the right side found Kuramoto who headed it inside the far post from six yards out, just left of center. Loveland continued the scoring in the 33rd minute when Kuramoto beat several defenders on the left side and then dribbling just inside the goal line, played a ball to Gaelen Stejbach, who’s one-time left-footed volley beat the keeper near post from five yards out. But, Glen Este answered right back in the same 33rd minute on a nice strike from 18 yards to close the first half scoring with Loveland leading, 3-2. Loveland wasted no time in the 2nd half as Kuramoto found Ellie Iaciofano in the 41st minute on the right side. Iaciofano dribbled past a couple defenders and the keeper and slotted home a ball from just inside the goal line from a nearly impossible angle. Stephanie Sawyer again played well in the goal and thwarted a breakaway in the 51st minute to preserve the two goal victory. Shots (on goal): 16 (12) 16 (12) (Loveland-Glen Este); corners: 7-4 (L-GE); fouls: 11-7 (GE-L) Loveland 3, Sycamore 0 The Loveland Tigers girls turned in their best performance and result of the season by topping Sycamore, Sept. 12. Loveland played well from the opening minute to the final whistle. In the 31st minute, Mollie Kuramoto’s diagonal ball from 35 yards out found a hustling Autumn Oakes who cut the ball to the right and finished from 12 yards out and beat the keeper to the near post to
begin the scoring. Loveland’s pressure again paid off in the 37th minute when Leah Wood’s free kick from 40 yards out on the right side was gathered in by Gaelen Stejbach at the nine yard line and then shot from eight yards out on the right side beating the keeper to the far post. Loveland maintained pressure in the second half and was awarded a free kick in the 54th minute from 25 yards out just inside the corner of the 18. Kuramoto blistered the free kick over the wall into the side netting of the far post to complete the scoring, 3-0 for Loveland. Loveland received outstanding play from defenders: Abby Vargo, Leah Woods, Hannah Maloney, Morgan Williams, and Ariel Fischer. Stephanie Sawyer kept a clean sheet along with help from Emily Sellars in the goal Madeline and Lydia Vance have suffered season ending ACL injuries with reconstruction surgery on the horizon. Shots (On Goal): 15 (10) 11 (4) (Loveland-Sycamore); corners: 4-0 (S-L); fouls: 137 (L-S).
Girls JV soccer
Sycamore 1, Loveland 0 The Sept. 12 game was a constant back-and-forth battle between the two teams. Defensive play by Sierra Wood, Alyssa Thiel, Natalie Baker, Mary Lloyd, Rachel Baker, Jessie Comorosky, Kathryn Johnson and goalie Brooke Weber held the game in check. Both sides couldn’t get the ball in.
Offensive threats by Chelsie Pippa, Kate Swaine, Cassie Nedljko, Katrina James, Jillian Kemmet, Jenna Myklebust, Lauren Dusold, Tia Ariapad, Carla Weismantel and Mackenzie Veith made some beautiful passes and shots but nothing could quite get through. The game looked to be ending in a tie when shortly before the end of the game, Sycamore shot, goalie Weber dove on it, had possession, but the refs couldn’t see her because of all the players in the box so Sycamore kept at the ball until they got it out of Weber’s hands and they put it in the net to win the game. Loveland 4, Glen Este 0 – Loveland dominated play for most of the game against Glen Este, Sept. 15. Tia Ariapad passed a perfect ball to Lauren Dusold at 30:19, Dusold sent a rocket but Glen Este’s (G.E.) goalie made a great save. At 25:10, Chelsie Pippa sent a perfect cross in front of the goal but Loveland couldn’t capitalize. At 17:47, Kathryn Johnson sent a beautiful ball just ahead of striker Carla Weismantel, Weismantel shot but Glen Este’s goalie somehow saved it. At 12:18, Mackenzie Veith took a shot but G.E.’s goalie again made a great save. Loveland continued some beautiful play by Katrina James, Jillian Kemmet, Rachel Baker, Kate Swaine, Cassie Nedeljko, Sierra Wood, Natalie Baker, Jenna Myklebust, Mary Lloyd, Alyssa Thiel, Jessica Comorosky, Brooke Weber and especially Weismantel on the front line, but G. E. goalie kept them at 0-0.

At 34:07, Rachel Baker hit Dusold with a pass, Dusold shot, it deflected off of G.E’s goalie, and Comorosky slammed it in. At 33:33, G.E. retaliated with a shot but goalie Weber made a great stop.

At 30:37, Ariapad got tripped, Baker took the shot, the ball ricochet off of G.E.’s goalie and Comorosky nailed it again for a hat trick. At 20:36, G.E. made a great run at the goal but Mary Lloyd came out of nowhere to stop the score. Shots - 12-5 (LovelandGlen Este); Corners - 2-2.

When chips are down, how will we remember?
Talking to a friend of mine today, he commented on how we are becoming a “Delete Society.” The idea intrigued me. His contention is that much – if not most – of our communication is now being done, on a daily basis, via E-mail and texting. It is very easy to delete these from our computers and thus from our lives. With every deletion, however, we risk losing important pieces of our existence that, in the past, would be kept and handed down. Allow me to elaborate. I received an E-mail from my mother-in-law stating that my wife’s uncle passed away. The cause, the date and other details were contained in that e-mail. In the past, we would have received a letter
that would probably be kept in a box somewhere for future generations to discover. Instead, it is deleted, and subsequently gone forever.

CH@TROOM Sept. 16 questions
Loveland City Council will spend about $150,000 to upgrade Lever Park. What other city parks need attention? What specifically would you like to see done in those parks? No responses.
Has there been a decline in civility at town hall meetings and public meetings in general? If so, why is this happening? “Wordnetweb defines civility as: politeness: the act of showing regard for others. “In a interactive communication process such as town hall meetings, the constituents arrive with the expectation that their concerns will be listened to, heard and processed, with relevant feedback provided by the representative or official. The public arrives anticipating that the officials will in fact show a regard for others. “Alas, the representatives’ frequent dismissal of pointed, toughto-answer, on-the-spot questions and continued reliance on grandstanding or canned rhetoric causes confusion and conflict. Soon frustration sets it and the natural tendency of the public is to address the absence of civility or the climate of rudeness with a reciprocal response. “The hypothesis is: If officials actually start to listen and provide direct, sincere answers – thus treating their constituents with due respect and civility – will the behavior of the public follow suit?” “Momma duck, baby duck.” D.M. “Unfortunately, yes, there has been a decline in civility at town halls and other public meetings. It is undoubtedly politically motivated. It’s sad to think that this is what they are teaching our children; as how to accomplish anything for the common good. The behavior is not only childish, It has been rude and prone toward violence. Most people want to hear the facts and debate the issues, not just listen to someone screaming obscenities and name calling. I hope this is not the new America. They have turned off a lot of people by this behavior. Where are the statesmen?” A.T. “Please correct me if I am wrong, but more than one elected politician was rude to president Bush when he spoke to Congress, but the media didn’t care. Now that a Republican did the same, the media is in an uproar. In

Send your answer to loveland@communitypress.com with Chatroom in the subject line. regards to public meetings such as the recent tea parties, it is my understanding that they have been very civil and those attending were very responsible for their own behavior – and the media didn’t mention them. I understand the town hall meetings have been less than serene, but I understand that many people feel that they are being lied to and the country that they love is being ruined, so tempers are going to flare.” D.K. “Our society has changed over the past few years and it’s indicative off how our society has gone from being respectful to others and not having any decorum about openly expressing themselves. It used to be we were seen and not heard, if we wanted to speak, we raised our hands and waited to be chosen to speak. And when we’d speak, we respected those whom we addressed. Now, it seems as if this sort of malicious outspoken disrespectful opposition is seen as customary. That is just what we’ve seen as even those who address the president, to MTV awards. Some just feel they have the right to be disrespectful.” G.D.W. “Yes. Emotions are over running manners.” B.L. “People are fed up that the officials that we elected to represent us aren’t. It comes out of frustration.” C.A.S. “The ordinary people are speaking up thus everyone who is not in tune with them thinks they are not civil. For years the ones complaining were not to civil to President Bush. It is about time the real people of this country got off their duffs and expresed their opinion, this is what America is all about.” L.S.
dren may marvel that we could die of cancer. Photographs are even more subject to permanent loss. I know that I often receive photographs of events we have participated in, and they remain attached to Emails that, unless I am scrupulously careful, end up getting lost or deleted. Even when we do transfer them from the E-mails, they go into a digital file. We currently have hundreds, if not thousands, of anonymous photographs on our computer hard drives. Sometimes I will take a memory stick, load it with the best photographs and have them printed, and put them in an album with captions. More often than not, however, they sit in a digital
file, awaiting the first computer meltdown to come my way, sending the pictures to sleep with the digital fishes. Our parents and grandparents would have taken fewer pictures, had them printed and selected a few to put in an album (picture development and printing used to be a fairly expensive process). Only a natural disaster such as a tornado or a fire could deprive future generations of the pleasure of seeing the lives of their grandparents and great-grandparents evolve. From this perspective, then, we are going back in time. For most people, tracing lineage or finding snippets of our ancestor’s lives before the 18th century is almost
Car seats vital to child safety According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death among children ages 2 to 14 – with the nonuse or improper use of child seats and safety belts a major contributor in many crashes. To help keep kids safe and promote the proper use of child safety restraints, Sept. 12-Sept. 18 was designated “National Child Passenger Safety Week.” Many local fire and police stations also provide assistance in making sure car and booster seats are installed correctly. You can find more information about car safety seats as well as the location of the nearest child seat fitting station by visiting the NHTSA’s Web site at www.nhtsa.dot.gov. When choosing a car safety seat for your child, the NHTSA recommends always following the manufacturer’s guidelines and use the seat until your child no longer meets the height or weight recommendations. Children should always be restrained in the back seat. For infants, choose a rearfacing car seat until the child reaches at least age 1 and weighs 20 pounds. They should then be moved to a forward-facing car seat until around age 4 or they weigh 40 pounds. Children between the ages of 4 and 8 should ride in a booster seat until an adult seat belt fits them properly – the lap belt lays across the upper thighs and the shoulder belt fits across the chest. Although it is best to buy a new car seat, you can use a secondhand seat. Just make sure the seat has not been involved in a crash, is less than six years old, has all of its parts and instruction

Press guest While much columnist attention has been paid in recent years to ensuring infants and young children are properly restrained in a car seat, safety advocates and state officials have also been working to ensure that children who have outgrown the traditional “infant seat” are properly restrained. While many people believe that restraining older children in a seat belt is sufficient protection, much research has shown that utilizing only the car’s safety belt can cause head trauma and other complicated internal injuries in case of an accident. The Partners for Child Passenger Safety reports 81 percent of children in Ohio between 4 and 8 years of age are restrained in an adult seat belt. These children are 3.5 times more likely to suffer serious injury than if they were to be correctly restrained in an ageappropriate booster seat. An editorial by the Cincinnati Enquirer last year noted that more than 18,000 injuries to children and 176 deaths could have been prevented in 2007 in Ohio through the correct use of booster seats. As a concerned parent myself, I introduced a bill during the last General Assembly requiring the

Using a booster seat allows a car’s adult safety belt to properly fit a child, reducing the likelihood of serious injuries in the event of a car crash. I am pleased to say this bill became effective Ohio law earlier this year, making Ohio one of 47 states to require booster seats in an effort to keep our kids safe. With millions of cars on the road each day, it is more important than ever to ensure our children are properly restrained whenever they are in the car. By promoting the correct use of ageappropriate restraint systems for children and ensuring they are installed correctly, we can help keep our children safe and secure. Contact State Sen.

impossible. The vast majority of people led lives of quiet desperation, and simply trying to survive was so all consuming that they had little time or inclination to think of future generations. Besides, almost none of them could read or write anyway. So, for relatively brief period, we have been blessed with photographs on paper and the written word that combine to give us an idea from whence we came. Sadly, we are reverting to a time where so much knowledge was lost between generations. The irony in this is, of course, that we are living in “the age of information.” Bruce A.

Princeton student is school’s sole National Merit semifinalist By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
The Princeton High School senior who stands alone as a National Merit Scholarship semi-finalist has been excelling throughout his years at the school. Christopher Steineman of Sycamore Township is the only Princeton student to be in the running among about 16,000 nationwide for 8,200 scholarships. He entered the competition through the 2008 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, earning a spot in a group that represents less than one percent of high school seniors. “When any kid meets that type of platform, it’s representative of their collective work,” said William Sprankles, Princeton high school principal. “Chris has handled business for quiet a while,” he said of Steineman’s accomplishments. Besides being a member of the varsity soccer team, where he’s played virtually all positions, Steineman has stood out academically throughout his high school years. As a junior, he took home six medals, as well as honors for excellence in math and science. “At the academic awards last year, he cleaned house,” Sprankles said of Steineman. “He understands the importance of school and education in general,” Sprankles said.

Christopher Steineman, a National Merit Scholarship semifinalist, plans to study bio-medical engineering in college. “Outside of the National Merit Scholarship, he’s a top caliber student regardless.” Steineman, whose favorite subject is math, said he wants to study biomedical engineering in college. “I always knew I wanted to study engineering,” he said. “I like to take things apart and put them back together.” Previously, he didn’t like biology, but through a teacher’s urging, he took a class. To his surprise, he enjoyed the subject. “So, I’m going to combine biology and engineering,” Steineman said. “It’s nice knowing you’re helping people,” he said of the bio-engineering field. “He has a passion,” Sprankles said. “You’re the best of the best on this assessment.”

Why love treats us the way it does
48
once you have finally caught it?” In a sense, he opines, marriage is a trap. A trap to get us to be brave enough to live with love day after day and to learn what love really is. For God knows, we misunderstand love. Spouses quickly become surprised to find out what’s underneath love’s charming exterior, and to know it when it’s stark naked and demystified. As Mason notes, over the years love sometimes pulls the rug out from under us, turns the world upside down, or throws a pail of cold water in our faces and says, “You haven’t learned about me yet!” It demands the very best we can offer. And at other times that are just glorious, love teaches us it is the most exquisite thing in the world. When love is demystified and lives with us in the ordinary of every day, it is bothersome at first. We can even become disappointed and disillusioned and start looking for the mystified version again. We’re all seduced at times by the French proverb, “Only the beginnings of love are beautiful” But true love has its own purpose in being so demanding. Its purpose is to gradually transform us and turn us into genuine lovers. That’s why it employs such drastic strategies: asking us to forgive over and over again; to be patient
with each other and ourselves; to communicate instead of pouting or keeping a cool distance. Later in life, and especially in the next, love will take off its earthly mask and become further demys-
tified. We will recognize that, as the scriptures say, “God is love,” and that all along he was growing us and teaching us what true love means. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the
Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reach him at columns@ communitypress.com or contact him directly at P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242. Please include a mailing address or fax number if you wish for him to respond.

Tips from readers
From Mark A. regarding “parve� products. Mark says: “The definition of “parve� (or “pareve�) in your column was only half right.
“Pareve foods are prepared without meat, milk, or their derivatives and may therefore be eaten with both meat and dairy dishes according to the laws of kashrut. “No dairy is correct, but no meat either. Meat can be sneaky; gelatin made from cattle hooves, for instance, is not pareve (probably not kosher either, but that’s beside the point).�
Cake tips from Martha
I’m taking a cake decorating class at Grant School in Clermont County. Martha Buckler is my teacher and she shared some valuable tips in last night’s class: • Bake cakes and quickbreads at 325 degrees and not at 350 degrees as most recipes state. You’ll have to bake them longer but the lower temperature allows them to bake all the way through to the middle without sinking. Especially true for very large cakes. • To smooth white or pastel color frosting, dip spatula in warm water and smooth over cake. Smooth top first, then sides. Don’t use on chocolate or deeply colored icing as this will leave streaks and spots. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is Macy’s certified culinary professional and family herbalist, an educator and author.

Registration begins for Spin for the Cure
PROVIDED.
The fourth annual Spin for the Cure Cincinnati is profiling three young breast cancer survivors. Karen Woodworth of Anderson Township, Heather Ray of Symmes Township and Angie Knoechel of Mason will join the four-hour ride Oct. 10.
Registration has officially begun for Cincinnati’s fourth annual Spin for the Cure. The event, founded by Spinning Instructor Vicki Magliano in 2006, benefits the Susan G. Komen Foundation of Greater Cincinnati and will be Saturday, Oct. 10, at Xavier University’s Cintas Center. Since the start of the event, Spin for the Cure has elevated awareness and raised money to benefit cancer victims.
In 2008, this great cause raised $20,000 for the foundation in hopes of aiding cancer-related causes and research. Spinning will begin promptly at 9 a.m. and run until 1 p.m. The four-hour ride will include instruction from three spinning master instructors who will guide the event. This year, three breast cancer survivors will be featured each month leading up to the event.
Heather Ray of Symmes Township, Angie Knoechel from Mason and Karen Woodworth from Anderson Township will share their personal cancer-survival stories in a feature on the Web site, www.spinforthecurecincinnati.com. Magliano of Milford originally began the event when two of her close friends were diagnosed with breast cancer. “Taking action now by raising awareness of breast cancer may save lives in the
future,� said Magliano. “Virtually anyone can complete the spinning event at their own pace, and everyone has fun while they ride to the music. Knowing that Spin for the Cure helps those in need is comforting and fulfilling at the same time.� For more information, visit www.spinforthecure cincinnati.com. You can also follow on Facebook, Spin for the Cure Cincinnati, or Twitter @spin4curecincy.

Runway co-star and noted model, Heidi Klum, has been named the Entertainment Industry Foundation ambassador for Saks Fifth Avenue’s 2009 “Key to the Cure” campaign and will appear in magazine ads wearing the spectacular white and fuschia t-shirt to promote the event. “It’s important that we all work continuously to find the cure for cancer and to find answers,” said Klum. “This year’s T-shirt is fabulous and not just because Michael, my fashion inspiration and great friend, designed it,” she said. “It’s fun and comfortable and really a great gift for yourself or a family member or friend that you can give to support a very worthy cause,” said Klum.

Planning for your children As a parent, the last thing I want, if something happens to me, is a bad situation where my children are surrounded by people they don’t know, who don’t have their best interest at heart or who are fighting over raising them. Consider how a celebrity like Michael Jackson left his children exposed to a fight among his family, the children’s nanny, the biological mother and perhaps others. The lesson is clear. You must name guardians for your minor children in the event of your death or incapacity. Failing to do so puts your children at risk. With the fol-
lowing steps you can assure your children will be provided and cared for as you want David and intend.

sions in a legally binding document means they may not be followed. You are potentially placing your children in a situation where every family member has equal priority of guardianship. This leaves the decision about the care of your children to the legal system and a judge who doesn’t know you or your kids. Legal documentation is particularly important if you want a friend to care for your children, as courts will almost always choose a family member over a friend. Don’t let the complexities of financial or guardianship decisions prevent you from completing your estate planning. An estate planning attorney who has worked with many families can use that experience to help you make decisions. An open discussion of your personal concerns with a lawyer who understands your financial and legal situation can assure your piece of mind – and your children’s future. David H. Lefton is an estate planning and probate attorney who lives in Symmes Township. He is a partner in Barron, Peck, Bennie & Schlemmer on Oakley Square. Contact David at 513721-1350 or dhl@bpbslaw.com.

take action to put a plan in place. To protect what your children will receive, establish a trust for any life insurance benefits and/or savings that your appointed guardians will use in raising your children. If your estate is large enough, plan the trust to avoid estate taxes. Identify your children’s guardian – Believe it or not, most parents have not named a guardian and at least one alternate for their minor child(ren). Consider some of the following qualities to help you select a guardian: • available time; • physical and mental ability; • genuine concern for your children’s welfare; • a good relationship with your children; • agreement with your moral and religious beliefs; • financial resources; • geographic proximity to where your children now reside. Legally document your decisions – Parents too often agree upon a guardian for their children and even make their wishes known to their families, yet, they have not expressed their wishes in their estate planning documents.

Martin completes basic training
Cadet Timothy Michael Martin, son of Michael and Anja Martin of Loveland, completed Cadet Basic Training at the U.S. Military Academy. Martin entered West Point in June and has successfully completed six weeks of CBT. Also referred to as “Beast Barracks,” CBT is one of the most challenging events a cadet will encounter in their four years at the academy. The initial military training program provides cadets with basic skills to instill discipline, pride, cohesion, confidence and a high sense of duty to prepare them for entry into the Corps of Cadets. Areas of summer instruction included first aid, mountaineering, hand grenades, rifle marksmanship and nuclear, biological, and chemical training. Martin began classes Aug. 17. Martin graduated from Archbishop Moeller High School. He plans to graduate from West Point in 2013 and be commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army.

water again. And never let water sit in the saucer. Use lukewarm water for watering. Expect leaves to drop as the plants make their final acclimation to the indoor lighting. It’s natural. And do keep your eyes open for any flare-ups of insects on the plants. Keep insecticidal soaps, systemic insecticides, and whitefly traps on hand just in case. Reduce feeding to nothing or an occasional shot of a water-soluble fertilizer, which can be increased once the days start to get longer, come next spring! Again, do expect leaves to fall once the plants are inside, as the sunlight just isn’t what it was outside. Stick with them, water only as needed, watch for outbreaks of insects and catch them early, and your tropical plants should make it through the winter, and be ready to get back outside late next spring. We also suggest a good rinsing off several times through the winter, and the shower is the perfect place to do it! Use lukewarm water, and let them shower for five to 10 minutes.

One way to make sure nothing is in the soil (ants, etc.) is to fill a large tub with water, and then submerge the plant pot and all in the water for several hours. Anything in the soil will either drown, or will float to the top of the water. It’s also a great way to soak the soil. Just make sure you allow it plenty of time to drain before bringing it into the house. Move your tropical plant indoors to a well-lit area indoors, and away from heat vents and cold drafts. Place a saucer under the pot. As a general rule, water the plants well, let dry,

If you’ve been growing your tropical plants outdoors all summer, as summer fades and fall arrives, it’s time to get them ready to go back inside the house for the winter. Begin this process in mid to late September, so the plants will be ready to go indoors before the weather gets too cold. And always keep an eye open for that early frost! The first thing to do is to move your tropical or nonhardy plants into a shady location outside, and leave then there for 10 days to two weeks. This helps to acclimate them to the lower light conditions they’ll be receiving once inside your home. By the way, during this time, do be aware of possible cold temperatures and even frosts, where your plants will need extra protection! Just before bringing them inside, there are three things for you to do. Hose them off with a strong stream of water. You may even want to do this a couple times while they’re acclimating in the shade. This helps to blow off any insects that may be hanging out on the plants. Immediately before bringing them inside, give your plants a good spraying of insecticidal soap, making sure you spray tops and

BED AND BREAKFAST
The Doolin House Bed & Breakfast
FLORIDA
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.
