Tax break keeps lab in twp. By Jennie Key
jkey@communitypress.com
The Greater Cincinnati Dental Labs at 6432 Cheviot Road was on its way out of the township last year, headed to the Fort Scott area. Deron Blaylock, president and general manager of the company, had been looking for a site for his business, which was outgrowing its current home. Frank Birkenhauer, assistant administrator and economic development director for Colerain Township, said he worked with Blaylock for about four years to no avail. “It’s not as easy as you would think to find three acres of available commercial property with infrastructure in Colerain Township,” Blaylock said. The company was set to move out to the Fort Scott area but the deal fell through. Meanwhile, acreage on Struble Road became available, and the lab will occupy about 3.5 acres on Struble Road near Colerain Avenue. Key to the business expansion is Blaylock’s ability to take advantage of the Hamilton County Development Company’s tax incentive plan. With the approval of local jurisdictions, the Hamilton County Commissioners may grant property tax incentives to qualifying businesses in the enterprise zone. Colerain Township became part of the zone in 1995. The amount of the tax exemption is negotiated on an individual project basis and varies according to the size of the investment and the number of jobs created or retained. This enterprise agreement, approved by Colerain Township trustees July 14, says that for the next seven years Greater Cincinnati Dental Labs will get a 60 percent abatement on its taxes. Commis-

Greater Cincinnati Dental Lab is moving its operation from Cheviot Road to a new 17,000 square-foot facility on Struble Road thanks to a tax abatement. President and general manager Deron Blaylock, left, watches vice president Ken Blaylock as he works on a mold.
In the zone
Colerain Township already has four enterprise agreements set up in the township: • Cas-Ker, 2550 Civic Center Drive, 60 percent for 10 years, expires in 2011. • RB Tool & Manufacturing Co., 2680 Civic Center Drive, 50 percent for six years, expires this year. • Metalworking Group, Richards Industries, 9070 Pippin Road, 50 percent for 10 years. Expires in 2012. • Nolte Precise Manufacturing, 6850 Colerain Ave., 60 percent for six years. Expires in 2014. sioners should approve it July 29. The arrangement keeps a new, 17,000-square-foot dental lab building in Colerain Township. And it keeps the 42 full-time and 10 part-time employees now working for the lab in Colerain Township, as well.
Blaylock estimated he will add 19 full-time and eight part-time jobs in the next three years. That’s the goal on his agreement with the county. The new dental lab will be worth about $1.8 million, Blaylock said. The firm’s current building is valued
at about $450,000. “With that value difference, the taxes would have been pretty high,” he said. “This will allow us to ease into it, and really, allows us to build up the business.” He said the firm has forged partnerships and connections in the township and he didn’t want to leave. The lab sponsors local teams and has members on the advisory board for the dental program at Colerain High School. “We are glad to stay,” he said. “We’ve been here since 1977. In 1986, the lab burned down, and we rebuilt. Now we’ve outgrown that building and we are pleased we found a way to stay in Colerain Township.”
Trustees look at bonds for park By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
Colerain Township trustees took up the question of how to pay for more than $2 million in improvements to Clippard Park last week. Bond or cash? It may end up a little of both. At the July 14 board meeting, the board authorized township administrator David Foglesong to negotiate $1 million in bonds to go along with $1 million cash on hand to pay for the improvements at Clippard Park. The township is building ball fields, a sprayground, an all-access playground, restrooms, and a skate park at the 15-acre park at 10243 Dewhill Drive off Pottinger Road. The township will also build a second entrance off Bevis Lane.
Trustee President Jeff Ritter made the motion, saying he felt it was important to maintain the cash reserves currently held by Fiedeldey the township. Trustee Bernie Fiedeldey spoke against borrowing money. “Cash is king,” he said. “We’re talking about borrowing money that’s already been appropriated in our 2009 budget. It’s kind of hard for me to comprehend. We keep talking about the bad economic times we’re in, then we shouldn’t build the park. From my experience, you pay cash and you are far better off.” Trustee Joseph Wolterman said because of interest on the $1 mil-

lion that won’t be spent from the cash reserves, analysis shows the township with more cash in hand at the end of the five years if the board borrows half the money. Ritter said other communities put residential properties in tax increment financing districts in the 1990s, which generated large sums to be used for community improvements. If Colerain Township had done so, he said, borrowing might not be necessary. Tax increment financing uses taxes generated from property improvements to finance public projects. The measure to seek information passed 3-0 and Fiedeldey indicated he won’t vote to approve incurring any debt. Earlier in the meeting, the board approved a preliminary $31.9 million spending plan for 2010, which showed a $228,000

Trustees to review Mercy zoning request By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Kleeman Road resident Mark Broering Sr. said the group of citizens opposed to the proposed Mercy hospital in Green Township will continue fighting the development. Residents concerned about the project, as well as those who support Mercy Health Partners’ plans, will get their chance to once again voice their opinions to the Green Township Board of Trustees at the trustees’ next meeting, Monday, July 27. The trustees will review a zone amendment application for the project during its regularly scheduled meeting at 5:30 p.m., at the township administration building, 6303 Harrison Ave. The Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission voted 5-0 on July 2, to approve a land use amendment allowing the $200 mil-

Mercy chief executive officer James May said the approval was “tremendous.� “This is another indication that we are moving in the right direction toward developing the proposed site and increasing access to highquality health care services for the residents of Cincinnati, western Hamilton County and beyond,� he said. Pete Gemmer, regional director of public relations and external communications for Mercy, said they are planning a full-service, acute care facility that will meet all the health care needs of the community, both inpatient and outpatient. Broering, co-founder of Concerned Citizens in Opposition to the Proposed Mercy Hospital Site, said the group was disappointed with the planning commission’s decision, and felt the 1,262 signatures they collected from residents against the project were given no consideration. “It has been demonstrated not once but twice so far in the past two months that the voice of the overwhelming majority of constituents in Green Township falls on deaf ears when it comes to the

Broering said the 32-page report he prepared demonstrating why the hospital is a bad fit for the area was ignored as well. He said the citizens group will certainly look to put the issue on the ballot as a referendum if needed. After the township trustees weigh in on the zone change request, the proposal will go before the Hamilton County
Rural Zoning Commission, most likely on Thursday, Aug. 6. The Hamilton County Board of County Commissioners would then review the issue, and if the commissioners support the project the opposition group will have 30 days to collect signatures and submit a petition for a referendum. “We can only hope that the Hamilton County Commissioners will respond to the overwhelming majority of community members, and not be swayed by the misleading rhetoric of groups willing to change the face of an already successful community against their will,� Broering said.

Mount Healthy City School Superintendent David Horine says the district’s message about an Aug. 4 levy renewal is short and sweet: It’s a renewal, it’s 1.39 mills and it won’t raise your taxes. The issue was originally passed in 1982, and has been renewed every five years since. It generates $500,000 annually for the district. Mount Healthy Treasurer Rebecca Brooks says the owner of a $100,000 house would continue paying an estimated $40 per year for the levy if it passes. Horine said it’s important
for voters to know this is not an additional tax. He said the district included information Horine about the levy in the district newsletter, which was sent to essentially every home in the district. “That was really our main communication to the public,� Horine said. He says a letter will also come out from John Poppe, chairman of Citizens for Healthy Schools, the group campaigning for the levy’s passage, and there will be a phone bank operated by volunteers as the election gets closer.

Donna Masminster is admissions coordinator at Hillebrand Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Cincinnati, which nominated her for the award. She was selected by the Ohio Health Care Association (OHCA) as its Hero of Long-Term Care for the month of June, 2009. The organization chooses one long-term care employee each month to honor for their service to the long-term care facility, its residents and the community.

The staff at Hillebrand recognizes that she is giving of herself by being involved in community organizations for the elderly as well as in the community in general; she involves herself in others and is always willing to help. “It is not always easy to assist apprehensive resident or family members who have hundreds of questions,â€? says Dan Suer, Administrator at Hillebrand. “Donna answers them with ease. She is patient, listens to our clients and helps them to understand . . . family members always remember Donna by name, with some of them thinking that she owns the facility,â€? he continued. Masminster is proud of Hillebrand, and demonstrates this when she is in the community, acknowledging former residents and family members by name, and introducing herself as the Admissions Coordinator of Hillebrand at any opportunity. She involves herself in the community by raising funds for the Sara Care Foundation for cancer patients; the AlzheimerĂs AssociationĂs Buddy Walk; Community Services West; school and community golf fundraisers; and appreciation days for all First Responders in the community. “How lucky we are as a facility and coworkers to know this woman who puts enjoyment in helping or residents, and family members to find peace in trusting our staff to care for them,â€? said Souders. “Donna Masminster is a ‘Hero of Long-Term Care’ to every family member or resident who walks in our front door, or calls to ask for assistance. We are proud to nominate her for this honor!â€? Hillebrand Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 120-bed facility providing skilled care, rehabilitation and services for residents with dementia.

Colerain police chief gets OK for rifles The Colerain Township Police Department is moving closer to buying tactical rifles for officers. Trustees gave Colerain Township Police Chief Dan Meloy permission to buy 15 tactical rifles for use by township police officers at the July 14 meeting of the board.
Meloy made a proposal in February to sell some old weapons in the armory and use the proceeds of the sale to pay for the weapons. A Thompson submachine gun, a Ruger .223caliber rifle also known as a Ruger Mini 14 tactical rifle, and an Uzi submachine gun in the police department’s possession will be sold for a little more than $15,000, according to Meloy.

Don’t miss this opportunity to save!
The Thompson submachine gun has been in the armory since the 1960s and the Ruger rifle was added in the early 1980s, the chief said. Meloy said he had been concerned about his officers not having the proper tools to safely do their jobs. He pointed to an incident on Sacramento Drive in January in which police arrived on the scene of a multiple homicide to find a man in the front yard with an AK47. Meloy said the new weapons will not be assault rifles. Assault rifles, he said, are fully automatic. The weapons he plans to buy, Rock River Arms AR-15s, are not. Trustees approved the purchase of the weapons and reminded the chief of their concerns when the issue was first brought to the board. Trustee Bernie Fiedeldey commended the chief for the wise use of available resources and reiterated the need for training with the new weapons. “Train them, train them, train them,” he said. Meloy said training is a department value and there are two certified tactical rifle instructors in the department. When the new weapons will be put in service
A number of communities surveyed by the township already use tactical rifles. According to the survey, comparable weapons are in use by the Hamilton and Butler counties sheriff’s offices and the Blue Ash, Cincinnati, Deer Park, Delhi Township, Evendale, Fairfax, Forest Park, Indian Hill, Loveland, Madeira, Montgomery, North College Hill, Woodlawn and University of Cincinnati police.

depends upon how quickly they can be delivered. Based on information from Rock River, Meloy said it may be about a year. But he says it won’t be before all of the department’s officers are fully trained. Trustee president Jeff Ritter commended the plan to sell old weapons to pay for the new ones, with no real cost to the township. Trustee Joseph Wolterman supported the purchase, as well. “I would rather we never have to use one of these, but having them in our possession may be a deterrent also. Just as we give our fire department to tools and equipment it needs to do its job, we have to give the police department the tools it needs, as well.” Meloy said Colerain is simply joining a lot of other communities and agencies who have already bought tactical rifles for their officers. “I would rather have them and not need them than need them and not have them,” he said.

Green Township officials were successful in obtaining the restraining order they wanted against Club Octane. Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Beth A. Myers granted the township’s request for a temporary restraining order on Thursday, July 16, ordering the club to close for 14 days. A court hearing on the request for a temporary or permanent injunction is scheduled for Tuesday, July 28. “We’re happy with the result today,” said Frank Hyle, Green Township’s attorney. “Our citizens are safer now than before we came into this courtroom.” The Green Township Trustees voted unanimously Monday, July 13, to authorize Hyle to seek a restraining order against the club until it complies with the township’s new teen club ordinance. “As we know they have certainly caused a problem for us,” said Trustee Chairwoman Tracy Winkler. A phone message left for the owner of Club Octane seeking comment was not returned. In June the board passed a resolution creating a teen club permit and licensing process after residents who live near Club Octane, 5915 Colerain Ave., presented concerns about the club to the township. “We realized it was going to create safety issues and a level of discomfort for the neighbors,” Winkler said. “Those issues became apparent as soon as the club opened.” The teen club ordinance requires noise controls and
West Winkler background checks for club employees. The club must also hire off-duty police officers to be at the club for security measures and close before midnight. Teen clubs also have to pay a one-time $500 registration fee to the township and then an annual $300 fee. Hyle said the township granted the club some leniency in complying with the teen club permit, allowing the owner extra time to submit a permit application by Friday, July 10. He said the application was incomplete, so the township extended the deadline to Monday, July 13. The club’s owner did not turn in a completed permit application on July 13. “They haven’t complied with our ordinance,” Hyle said. Green Township Police Chief Bart West said police have had to respond to Club Octane several times since it opened in mid-April. “It’s been a real problem up there,” he said. He said there have been several fights and other disruptions at the club. There were four separate fights Saturday, July 11 alone, he said, and dozens of officers responded to an unsubstantiated report of gun shots being fired in the club’s parking lot on June 27. Someone ignited a firework inside the club on July 4. Cincinnati News Service contributed to this story

The Colerain Township Zoning Department is working on a volunteer program that could help residents who need assistance comply with the property maintenance code. Zoning administrator Susan Roschke talked to Colerain Township trustees about the program she is developing at their meeting July 14. Colerain Township enacted its property maintenance code
in May, 2007. It applies to all property in the township, residential and commercial. Volunteers Paula Bussard and Mark Vilas are helping Roschke develop the program, which will be called Sharing Hope in Colerain Township. The Sharing Hope program will supplement the two existing programs available now to Colerain Township residents. Roschke said the township receives funds from the Community Development Block

SPORTS Rugby growing in the Tristate July 22, 2009

The thing that separates rugby from other sports is the camaraderie the sport fosters. A rugby player in a new city isn’t alone for very long. “I’ve lived in several different places and when I get to a new city, one of the first things I do is look for a local rugby club because it’s an instant peer group,” said Charles Dainoff, vice president of the Ohio Rugby Union. “You immediately have a group of friends that can ease your transition into a new community. It’s a great sport and a great way to meet people.” Rugby is a sport that’s on the rise in the Tristate as new players
are joining the existing clubs and starting their own. The Ohio Rugby Union is part of USA Rugby and oversees rugby in Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. There are 11 rugby clubs in Cincinnati and one in Northern Kentucky. That includes all age groups, from men’s clubs to collegiate teams at Xavier and Cincinnati and several area high school clubs. “Generally speaking, it’s all one big community,” Dainoff said. “We’re already starting to see kids transition from high school rugby to college rugby and it’s a sport you can play for 20 or 30 years if you’re committed to it.” Dainoff plays for the Cincinnati Wolfhounds, based in Fairfield, and occasionally plays for

Wolfhounds 35 and older team, the Greyhounds. Clubs in the city often have different divisions for players depending on experience level. “There’s plenty of room for people to compete at whatever level they are comfortable with,” Dainoff said. “It’s a lot easier to get involved than you think. All you have to do is find out where a team is practicing and show up and introduce yourself.” The list of rugby clubs is on the ohiorugbyunion.org Web site. While the sport may look confusing at first, Dainoff insisted it’s not as chaotic as it seems and compared it to soccer and football. “Two teams are trying to advance the ball from one side of the field to the other to score,” he

said. And almost as important as how the game is played is the social aspect of rugby. It’s a long-standing tradition in rugby for the home team to throw a party for the visiting team to thank them for coming to play. “You leave the rivalry on the field and that’s part of building this network of friends,” Dainoff said. When he moved to San Francisco, Dainoff was reunited with a former opposing player he’d been involved in a scuffle with while both played for different teams. “That was in the past and we were great teammates on this new team a few thousand miles across the country,” Dainoff said. “That’s sort of rugby in a nutshell.” The game is growing at the

youth level too, according to the ORU’s youth director Chris Hopps. High school teams have been created at Moeller, Walnut Hills, Northbend (St. Xavier and Elder), and Indian Springs. Hopps said he hopes to have a parochial league in Cincinnati in the near future and that his goal is to spread rugby to anyone in high school or younger. The most prevalent way to generate interest, which can eventually build to the formation of teams, is through camps and clinics to teach the game to new players. “We make it so anyone can walk through it,” Hopps said. “They are learning rugby without knowing it.”
Kelts’ rugby provides instant family
Tradition bonds North Bend rugby

Rugby provided Brett Simon with instant friends and ultimately a wife when the New Zealander immigrated to the United States in 2006. Simon, a 30-year-old Pleasant Ridge resident, is now an assistant coach with the Cincinnati Women’s Rugby Football Club (Cincinnati Kelts) – which plays at home field Germania Park, 3529 W Kemper Road, Colerain Township. Simon’s wife, Katie Simon, plays for the local club but the pair met three and a half years ago when Brett moved from New Zealand to Washington, D.C. “Being from New Zealand, one of the first things I did (in Washington, D.C.) was to join a rugby club. It’s great because it’s like instant friends,” Brett said. Brett and Katie moved to Cincinnati roughly 18 months ago and were married in May 2008. Upon arriving in the Queen City, the pair quickly found the Cincinnati Kelts’ organization, which includes sides for men and women. “We met new people right away and now we go to happy hours with everyone and tailgate for Bengals’ games,” Brett said. “Rugby is probably even more social here (than it is in New Zealand).” Brett explained children in New Zealand start following rugby as soon as they are able to watch television, he joked. With each city having 20 or even 30 rugby clubs, socializing after matches usually only involves your own squad. “Rugby and soccer are the big high school sports in New Zealand and most people start very young,” Brett said. But in Ohio, travel time for matches often extends beyond an hour and Americans have figured out a way to make the trips worthwhile. “You travel a long way so the home team hosts (a party with the away team after every match) and it’s a great time,” Brett said. “Everyone goes straight to the pub (after a match) here.” Curt McDonald, head coach for the Cincinnati Women’s Rugby Football Club and a Norwood resident, was quick to agree about rugby’s social nature. “If you wear your rugby jersey then people treat you like family everywhere you go in the world,” McDonald said. “We share a common bond with the sport.” McDonald moved to Cincinnati from West Virginia in 1998 and found his friends through rugby. “Within a matter of weeks you feel like you’ve found your best friends,” McDonald said. When the fall season starts up, the Cincinnati Women’s Rugby Football Club will seek to win its first national title. In 2008, the ladies finished No. 7 in the United States. “When they left nationals last year, they had it in their minds that they would be back,” McDonald said. “They want to win the national title and have the skill to do it.”
Mike Mers has been a fixture of the North Bend Rugby Club, which was founded in 1975, for the vast majority of its existence. He played for the team during his days at St. Xavier High School in the early 1980s and served as player-coach in 1988, making him the first official head coach in team history. “We never had a coach before then,” Mers said. “There were only about 10 teams in the Midwest for a lot of those years, so we played a lot of colleges and picked up whatever games we could.” As a player, Mers, who graduated from St. X in 1983, was a fly half, a position requiring quick thinking and leadership skills. The Green Township resident attended the University of Cincinnati and played for its club team before becoming the coach at North Bend. In 1989, he led North Bend to a No. 8 national ranking. Over the years, he has seen the sport grow immensely in popularity. “The biggest change is that now we have a league,” he said. The Ohio Rugby Union, which was founded in 2002, features several club teams and hosts an end-of-the-year tournament to crown a city champion. North Bend has earned that distinction four times, most recently in 2008. Mers said his former teammates have helped the sport become what it is today. “Some of the guys I played with are now coaching,” he said. “They know the game and want to coach. We have people in different parts of the city who were able to draw people in.” North Bend is comprised almost exclusively of St. X and Elder students; most of the players are upperclassmen, but some, like Jonathan Geers, joined the team as freshmen. “My freshman year, the team was almost all seniors, and we did really well,” said Geers, who will be a junior at St. X. “This past year, we only had about seven non-seniors on the team, but we still had 30 or 35 people come out to play.” Another North Bend veteran is Chris Montgomery, who will be a senior at St. X. Montgomery, whose two older brothers, Jim and Charlie, played for North Bend, started playing rugby in eighth grade. “In some team sports, you can get away with having one good player,” said Montgomery, who plays the eight-man. “But in rugby, you can’t win with one good player. You have to play as a team and communicate with each other.” Many also find the game’s physical nature appealing. “It’s a sport that’s different,” Geers said. “Not everyone around Ohio knows what rugby is, so there’s also some shock value to it. The fact that it’s a tough sport really draws people in.” Geers, who is 5-8 and weighs 155, plays the scrum half, a position requiring quickness, communication skills and ball-

Marshall hopes to lead Westside comeback
In 2005, the Westside Rugby Club finished second at the state tournament. Two years later, the team fell apart. “I had 14 seniors and two underclassmen on that ’07 team,” said Jeff Marshall, who became head coach in 2006. “After all those seniors graduated, it became really hard to recruit.” Westside hasn’t been able to field a team ever since. “We’ll get three or four or five guys out, but that’s not enough,” said Marshall, 30. Westside was comprised mainly of boys from Colerain and Oak Hills, with a splash of Elder students mixed in. “It’s tough to recruit, especially with the west side having such strong football schools,” said Marshall, who lives in Delhi. “A lot of coaches don’t want their guys to play.” There has been talk of Westside merging with North Bend, but that is an option that Marshall, who played for Queen City and Northern Kentucky, isn’t willing to pursue just yet. “We’re one of the founding members of the league, and we want to get schools back into it,” said Marshall, who began as an assistant coach during the team’s inaugural season in 2002. “I’m more committed this year than I’ve ever been.” handling ability. “(Geers and Montgomery) both picked up the game real fast,” Mers said. “Geers tends to throw very accurate passes under pressure. He’s one of the little guys who keeps control of the big guys, and they listen to him.” Mers said that his players respect each other regardless of size or position or school affiliation. “It’s the greatest sport in the world,” he said. “It’s physical, but there’s a lot of thinking involved. There’s no blocking, so it’s one-on-15. You’re not a star. You have to draw guys in and pass. There’s a lot of teamwork involved.” That teamwork goes beyond the pitch. “Every position communicates with another,” said Geers, who lives in Sharonville. “I communicate with the big guys and the backs, so there’s companionship on the team that extends into regular life.” Mers agreed. “There’s some sort of bond that rugby players have, and it’s one of the best parts of the whole thing,” he said. “In college and men’s rugby, you always get together after the game to hang out and sing songs. If you find another rugby player anywhere in the world, they’ll be your best friend.”

Men’s Kelts showing signs of improvement
The Cincinnati Kelts Men’s Rugby Club needed someone to light a fire. So Ricky Alba lit it. “They’ve underachieved the last few years, and that’s one of the reasons they asked me to coach,” said Alba, who took over the team in 2007. “They weren’t as focused as they should have been. I told them, ‘I can’t help you if you don’t help yourself. You’ve got to hate losing more than you like to win.’” Alba, 40, implored his players to buy into his coaching philosophy and to play as one. “We had too many guys who were playing as individuals and not as a team,” said Alba, who played for the University and Cincinnati. Alba has given the Kelts some direction; in 2007, they went 3-2, and in 2008, they went 8-3 and won a tournament in Marion, Ohio. This year they hope to make the playoffs and win a league title. “They’re getting better,” Alba said.
Find out what’s happening at Haps
Haps, a local bar located at 3510 Erie Ave. in Hyde Park, is the place to be when seeking information about the Cincinnati Kelts’ rugby teams, assistant women’s coach Brett Simon said. Interested individuals can also visit www.kelts.com for information about the Kelts’ program. Or, drop in Haps and ask around, Brett said. “We’re always up at the pub so if you are looking to get recruited then come on up and we’ll tell you all about it,” Brett joked. The program is actively seeking members even though the competitive Cincinnati Women’s Rugby Football Club finished seventh in the United States at nationals last year. “No experience is necessary. We’ll take anyone who wants to give it a shot,” Brett said. Directions to Germania Park, the Kelts’ home field, and Haps are both available at www.kelts.com.

He’s calmer and has all-around better behavior.” Davis, who will be a fourth-grader at Ann Weigel Elementary, trains five days a week for two hours a day at Watson’s Martial Arts, which is run by Master Leif Watson, a fifth-degree black belt who specializes in Olympic-style sparring.

In front, from left: Antonio Luevano, Michael Saylor, Selena Williams, Jacob Davis and Jessica Wethington. among them were Matt Bonnett, Jasiel Brown, Brooke Hammond, Antonio Luevano, Robert Norman, Michael Saylor, Jessica Wethington and Selena Williams. These participants, ranging in age from 9 to 14, have each won at least one national tournament. At the AAU tournament in Fort Lauderdale, four of them (Luevano, Norman, Wethington and Williams) finished second in their division, while one (Saylor) placed third. Davis, who won 14-1 in the finals, was the lone champion of the bunch.
“I knew he could win,” Paula said. “He’s a pretty laid-back person, but for whatever reason, he took right to this. He talks about it all the time and goes out there and works hard.” Because he won his division, Davis, an orange belt, automatically qualifies for the national tournament next season. “This is his passion,” said James, Davis’ father. “I’m ecstatic for him. He said he wanted to do it and that he’d be good at it, and I believed him. To see him do what he said he’d do is great.”

Jacob Davis won a gold medal in his division at the AAU National Tae Kwon Do Tournament; the 9-year-old is entering the fourth grade at Ann Weigel Elementary School.

In response to a Caren Whitcomb’s letter to the Editor “Mohr column response,” this person isn’t very knowledgeable of township law. Township clerk (or fiscal officer) can’t vote on any township Issues (like Rumpke expansion). The township clerk’s job is to record correctly all minutes of every Colerain Township trustees meetings, plus all financial reports, etc. Also most of the township residents of over 39 years, such as our family, are friends of the Rumpkes. Caren, why don’t you check out the many things that Rumpke has contributed to this largest township in the state, besides picking up your garbage? The attitude of many is they want Rumpke to pick up their trash but don’t want Rumpke to put it down anywhere and particularly “not in my neighborhood.” Betty Jane Sandoz Dunlap Road Colerain Township

CH@TROOM July 15 question
Do you think the economic stimulus plan is working, or should the federal government implement another round of stimulus packages?
“Between the bank and auto bailouts and the pork barrel stimulus packages, the U.S. Congress has created tax burden debt that will never be repaid except the interest. The Congress rescued corporations that failed due to mismanagement. The only stimulus I would like to see is in the form of relief to taxpayers. That way the politicians are not making any decision on the use of the money. I am a much better judge of how my money should be utilized. I can only hope for term limits soon. Go Figure!” T.D.T. “The stimulus package is not working, and there is no way I think another round will help the small businesses, regular people like me. I think that the stimulus package is just helping the rich, big corp. CEOs keep their private jets, vacation homes, etc. There needs to be away for the average Joe to get some relief.” C.M. “The ‘stimulus package’ is worthless. Additional spending would be a waste. The ‘Stimulus Package’ will have no impact on our economy. It would be like me dropping a rock, then taking credit for gravity. “The economy is going to correct itself as it always does, with or without the interference of the federal government. K.O. “Neither. It isn’t working, hasn’t worked, and another one won’t work. “Our unemployment rate is even higher than what the Obama administration predicted if we didn’t do the stimulus.

What the country needs is an atmosphere in which businesses, large and small, can prosper and thus employ large numbers of workers at decent salaries and benefits, such as was the case in the late 1950's and 1960's. “Artificial solutions like the economic stimulus merely put a Band Aid on the wound, leaving the injury to fester under the dressing. “Even assuming the Obama administration really believed it would help, his promise of reducing unemployment has not been fulfilled. “Oh yeah - I forgot! He has only been in office for 6 months! (On the other hand, that is 1/8th of his whole term.)” B.B. J.D.P.

If you know our family personally, you know that we love to shop and eat out at restaurants. So in addition to the economic benefits, retail, commercial and other development in our community is personally important to me. Colerain Township has some exciting development and redevelopment opportunities on the horizon. We are still working on filling up the Stone Creek Towne Center. You may have seen the signs about the LaRosa’s restaurant coming to that location. There are some other restaurants that also have interest in the development. We have also done well with back-filling vacant properties, like Kabuto restaurant at Northgate Mall. Even in our current economy, some developers are still able to grow and build. While Colerain Township was criticized some years back in a study for having “cheap” housing, I think some developers see this as meaning we are an affordable community to live in and that our residents may have some disposable income. This means we have some money in our budgets to buy electronics or other “toys,” or to enjoy dinner out.

Isaac Jackson was staying in Cincinnati and looking for land. He found several large land plots containing 200 to 300 acres available for $10-13 an acre. But he had to make sure his $3,500 would purchase an adequate place for his family. So he kept looking and waited and finally found a place. It was six miles from Cincinnati, but it was not on the river as he had hoped. The land was owned by a partnership between James Findlay, Jacob Burnet and William Henry Harrison. He had one more thing to do, before buying the land. He had asked a Mr. Richardson about putting up some rough building for lodging rooms until he had time to build a house. There was already a one-room house with a garret (room at the top of a house immediately below the roof) on the property, but that was not adequate for his large family. He hoped the land would not be sold before Mr. Richardson answered him back. His answer must have been positive because he bought three quarter sections of land in section 13 and 14 in Green Township from the Findlay, Burnet, and Harrison partnership. That was 480 acres for $3,530, only $7.36 an acre. The land was on the Muddy
Creek Pike, Now Sidney Road close to Anderson Ferry Road. In June Isaac wrote a letter to his 17-year-old son and gave him detailed instrucBetty Kamuf tions about what Community to bring for the west. The Press guest journey list was long. He columnist requested black walnut, butternut, English walnuts, almonds, filberts, chestnuts, orange, lemon, tamarind, sunflower, grape, and raisin and potato seeds. From the Almshouse in Philadelphia, he wanted some of the real basket willow. He told his son to dry the fruit and nuts and pack them in brown sugar and raisins to preserve them. He wanted Thomas to buy some trees when he came over the mountains, if he could get them, and pack them in boxes filled with moss to keep them moist. He needed needles and palm with twine, and a good apple parer. He also needed some liquor. Thomas was to get a strong barrel and pack it with gallon bottles of gin, a few bottles of Port and Madeira for medicine, and whatever his mother needed. He didn’t need a newspaper because the National Intelligence was published regularly and had eastern news, but he wanted

instruction books: the art of extracting dye from plants and bark; the process for making earthenware, gunpowder, bricks, starch, and mustard. The woods were full of wild hops, wild raspberries and gooseberries so he wanted books on the process for making beer and wine. Because Isaac didn’t like the local methods of farming he wanted books on other methods. On his farm, Isaac wanted to graft trees, and raise livestock. He thought animals needed better treatment than they got locally. There were no stables for the cows, they were given some fodder in the yard and turned into the woods for the winter. If the horses were used for work they were given better treatment, otherwise they were also on their own. Farming for Isaac would take a little getting used to.

Girl surprises doctors with recovery By Katie Hull

After a fatal car accident that was said to keep her hospitalized for up to four months, LeeAnn Curtis fought the odds and two months later, was dancing at her high school prom. Curtis, 18, is from Colerain Township and attends Franklin County High School in Brookville, Ind. On Feb. 25 she was involved in a high speed accident, flown by Air Care and admitted to University Hospital with injuries to her lungs, ribs, collar bone, liver and diaphragm. The most serious injury Curtis suffered was a torn vena cava in her heart which caused her heart to stop during surgery. “That was one of the most life threatening injuries,” said Shelley Akin, trauma nurse coordinator at University Hospital. “That really was the cause of her cardiac arrest in the operating room.” The ability of the trauma team to efficiently recognize the injury in Curtis’ heart was one of the main reasons her life was saved. Had the injury not been identified quickly and repaired, she would not

Curtis also had very low blood pressure which came as a huge concern, said Dr. Bryce Robinson, trauma surgeon at University Hospital. Curtis’ mother was given an estimated length of recovery time that was discouraging.
“They told her to look forward to living in the hospital for three or four months at the least,” said LeeAnn Curtis. On March 26, after seven surgeries and weeks of physical therapy, Curtis was released from the hospital, and she went to her prom a month later.
The fact that she went directly home without any outpatient therapy was exceptionally rare, said Robinson. The trauma team was pleased with Curtis’ recovery and still exchange emails with her , said Curtis. “(LeeAnn) was extremely compliant with everything we asked her to do,” said Akin. She said when it came to physical therapy, Curtis did everything she was told regardless of the pain. The trauma center was not the only source of motivation for Curtis. “The biggest thing that helped me get through it all was that they let my mom stay with me, she did not leave my side at all,” said Curtis. University Hospital receives so much community support which has contributed to its success and allows it to help patients like Curtis to survive. The accident has opened Curtis’ eyes and has changed her life in many ways, but she continues to have an optimistic attitude. “It has made me realize that you only get one life,” said Curtis, “and you really have to think about everything you do.”

The completion of construction of two homes built to serve eight adults with mental and physical disabilities in the Mount Airy and North College Hill were celebrated with a Community Open House July 10. The cutting was hosted by the project’s partners, Housing Resource Group and Resident Home Corporation, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati and KeyBank. The $931,617 Clovernook HUD 811 project was financed with a HUD 811 capital advance, a grant from KeyBank, equity from RHC, and an $80,000 Affordable Housing Program grant from the FHLBank. RHC will provide case management and other services including budget counseling, transportation and opportunities to connect with their community. “The need for safe, affordable and accessible housing for people with disabilities is growing tremendously in Hamilton County and RHC and HRG are working hard to secure resources to meet the needs of the people we have been partnering with for over 45 years. “We are thrilled we have had a number of opportunities to work with Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati and KeyBank, along with HUD, to bring this and other similar housing proj-

The residents live in two new, fully accessible homes
in Mount Airy and North College Hill. Planning for the Clovernook homes began in 2005, and the first residents arrived in the fall of 2008. The homes were built to blend into the neighborhood, and are part of RHC’s long-term plan to build smaller homes, to replace the large group homes that had traditionally served adults with special needs, said Debbie
Greenebaum, housing development planner for the Housing Resource Group, which builds housing for RHC. “We needed something that would work with fewer numbers of residents, something that would be more affordable, something that would be more accessible,” she said. “The neighborhoods have been very welcoming.”

Today’s marriages as predicted 40 years ago arriving future and how it w o u l d affect our lives. He showed how we fast Father Lou were forming a Guntzelman “ t h r o w Perspectives a w a y ” society. This, in turn, would lead us to adopt a concept of transience – a new “temporariness” in everyday life as well as a mood of impermanence. This Age of Transience would soon affect our relationship with people, but also our attitude toward things, places, ideas, as well as toward institutions and organizations. He wrote, “The people of the future will live in a condition of ‘high transience’ –
a condition in which the duration of relationships is cut short … things, places, people, ideas, and organizational structures will all get ‘used up’ more quickly.” Permanent commitment to anything would become passé. Before most of last week’s brides and grooms were even born, Toffler predicted that success in the marriage of the future would come to be determined by the degree to which matched development actually occurs between spouses. Love would be determined by the degree of shared growth, not necessarily by the giving of self. Yet, he goes on to say, “The mathematical odds are heavily stacked against any couple achieving this ideal of parallel growth. The odds

Didn’t we ever see where we were going? plummet when the rate of change in a society accelerates, as it is now doing. “In a fast-moving society in which … the family is again and again torn loose from home and community, in which individuals move further from their parents, further from the religion of origin, and further from traditional values, it is almost miraculous if two people develop at anything like comparable rates.” Dire words! And now, almost 40 years later, our own observations bear him out. Human relationships have become more transient

and the development of genuine love more tenuous. Love is now sought in serial marriages or clandestine affairs. In 1970 Toffler claimed that in the future those who marry will have an average of three marriages in their lifetime: the first for the expression of sexuality; the second for procreating children; and the third for companionship. “There will be some,” he predicted, “who, through luck, interpersonal skill and high intelligence, will find it possible to make long-lasting monogamous marriages work. Some will succeed in
marrying for life and finding durable love and affection. But the others will fail to make even sequential marriages endure for long.” My dear brides and grooms, isn’t it remarkably sad that what was predicted 39 years ago has now become true? May your marriage be counter-culture, your commitment permanent, your love enduring. And may your children find in your relationship an inspiration for their own.

The wedding season is upon us. It runs from spring to late autumn. It’s anybody’s guess how many weddings occurred just this last weekend. Today’s weddings occur in a sociological atmosphere quite different from that of a couple’s parents and grandparents. The current atmosphere we’ve collectively spawned over the years is no friend of the newly married, or long-married for that matter. Didn’t we ever see where we were going? Someone did. In 1970 an interesting book, “Future Shock,” was written by Alvin Toffler. He was a sociology professor at Cornell University who conducted research into future value systems. From this research he predicted what our culture could expect in the fast-

Got garden vegetables? Make frittata, slaw When we plant our vegetable garden, it seems like forever before it starts bearing. Then all of a sudden, I’m inundated with cucumbers, zucchinis and tomatoes. Then the corn comes on and we’re eating corn every night. I’m not complaining; in fact, I feel more than blessed. But the thing is I need to clone myself just like I clone recipes for you. Anybody got ideas how to do that?
Oh, and by the way, if you do figure out a way to clone me, I’ve got a few changes I’d like to make.

REAL ESTATE THIS WEEK By Mark Schupp
EVERY HOUSE HAS TWO PRICES
When calculating what kind of house you can afford, don’t just look at the list price. The amount you pay for a house is important when you consider your ability to re-sell the house. Today’s mortgage options are increasing the possibilities for homebuyers, so you should also take a close look at what it will cost you to live in the house. Your monthly housing cost is the second ďŹ gure to consider, and that cost is very much determined by current interest rates. Today’s real estate market is very price-driven. Homes that are in the best condition and have the most attractive price tags are the ones that sell. Diverse ďŹ nancing options and competition among lenders are giving many buyers the opportunity to buy a more expensive house or condo than they thought they could afford—and to buy it sooner. There are many creative ways to get into a home with a relatively small amount of money. Ask your Realtor to help you look at today’s numbers—you may be pleasantly surprised. Mark Schupp has been a Real Estate Agent for the past 28 years and is a CertiďŹ ed Residential Specialist. He has won many awards including the Top Unit Producer for 1999 and 2000 (last year awarded) in the Cincinnati Board of Realtors and Top 1% Residential Real Estate Agent in the Nation. For professional advice on all aspects of buying or selling real estate, contact Mark Schupp at Star One Realtors.

New one-day miracle for denture sufferers
Are you not eating what you want to because of difficulties with your dentures? Do they wander, shift or tilt? Are you replacing them all the time? Have you been told you don’t have enough bone for traditional dental implants?
If you said yes to any of these questions, don’t hesitate to call the dental office of Dr. Christopher Omeltschenko to discuss the Mini Dental Implant System, or MDI, which can stabilize your own denture in less than two hours. MDIs, which measure 1.8 millimeters in diameter, are basically smaller versions of traditional implants that can be placed without the surgical opening of the gums.
+ $ $ + $) % &' $ $ $) ') $# $) , )
' " & '%* $ ) & '%* # ". (( %$ #
“If you can handle visiting your dentist in the morning, having the MDI system placed in less that two hours and then going out and enjoying lunch at your favorite restaurant while you eat comfortably, talk and smile with confidence, then you’re ready for this process,� says Dr. Omeltschenko.

-)
“It’s that easy. With MDIs your denture feels secure and is held firmly in place. At about a third of the price of traditional implants, they’re extremely affordable, too,� he adds.
Are You Considering Cataract Surgery?
If your dentures are not firmly placed and you would like to experience the convenience that this technology can offer, call the office of Dr. Christopher Omeltschenko today at (513) 245-2200 for a free, no-obligation consultation (a $150 value).

Twp. yard sale earns rave ratings By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com
They came, they saw, they shopped. Folks found all sorts of bargains while those behind the tables were more than happy to part with their treasures at the Springfield Township com-
munity yard sale. Residents and community organizations took the opportunity to sell their items both inside and outside at the township senior/community center. It was the first such event and, given the enthusiastic success, probably not the last.
HEIDI FALLON/STAFF

Bored with business, friends, from left, Seth Schwab, 7, Westwood; Brandon Sander, 5, and Nathan Sander, 8, Colerain Township, found playing with their Bionicles a lot more fun.
Kim Snow shows shoppers what a lovable creature she’s willing to part with for $20. She said she was selling her decorative friend because “my grandchildren are afraid of him.”

Border collie Bailey wasn’t for sale, but he found a friend in Maddie Dorsel, 10. The duo were with the Finneytown Athletic Association cheerleaders selling items at the community yard sale.
