The call for “new blood” on multipleLoveland City Council committees andcommissions resulted in the entire Beau-tification Committee resigning andraised tensions on council.
“(The Beautification Committee) isbut one of many committees where the
excuse of ‘new blood’ atthe expensive of experi-ence has prevailedthroughout this entirecommission and commit-tee list. If you go throughthe committee list you willsee the tremendousamount of experience thathas been thrown under thebus,” Councilman RobWeisgerber said.
Five residents spoke atthe Jan. 5 meeting in pro-test of long-term Beautifi-cation Committee Mem-ber Donna Bednar beingthe only person not reap-pointed to the committee.
“I find it quite astounding that this de-cision was made without even consultingour committee chair. Our committee hasbenefited greatly thanks to Donna’s skillsand dedication. Her dedication and ser-vice to the city of Loveland is wellknown,” said Becky Giver, a member ofthe Beautification Committee.
When nothing was done by the Jan. 12meeting, the seven appointed members,with a total of 99 years of service to thecity, resigned from the committee.
“We cannot in good faith continue toserve in this role that we truly love. And
we do, know that. We simply refuse to beidentified with a governing majority thatresorts to petty, vindictive actionsagainst citizens with long-standing, stel-lar records of service to the community.Long-serving volunteers should not becallously cast aside and used as pawns forpolitical gamesmanship,” said Lynn Ou-ry, chair of the Beautification Committee.
Weisgerber pointed out long-time Fi-nance Committee member Mike Colan-gelo and long-time Recreation Commis-sion Member Dave Bednar were also notreappointed.
“If anyone provides resistance to(Fitzgerald), now or then, he will removethe obstruction. Example: (Dave) Bednar
was on council when (Fitzgerald) as ourcity manager was removed from his posi-tion. Political payback is to remove Davefrom recreation and remove his wifefrom beautification,” Weisgerber said inan email after the meeting.
Donna and Dave Bednar declined tocomment.
Weisgerber added Fitzgerald re-moved Colangelo from the finance com-mittee so the remaining members wouldagree with him.
“Removing Mr. Colangelo from the fi-nance? Someone who has tremendous ex-perience with municipal finance and un-derstanding what the city of Loveland isin regards to our budget. He is very
thoughtful. He brings great new ideas.Gone. That is a huge loss,” Weisgerbersaid at the meeting.
Committee and commission are ap-pointed by the mayor and voted on bycouncil.
The appointments passed with a 4-3vote of council. New Mayor Mark Fitz-gerald, Vice Mayor Angie Settell, Coun-cilwoman Linda Cox and CouncilwomanPam Gross voted for it. Weisgerber,Councilman Ted Phelps and Councilwom-an Kathy Bailey voted against it.

cause someone servedwell for an extended peri-od of time. We recognizethat, we appreciate that,but the fact of the matteris when there is a expira-tion of term and a recon-stitution of the city coun-cil some folks are asked toreturn, some ask not to re-turn and some are recruit-
ed in or come forth andmake a request to partici-pate,” Fitzgerald said.
Fitzgerald said thechanges were to get newblood on the committeesand commissions. Grosssaid she suggested thenew member of the Beau-tification Committee, flo-ral shop owner BrittanyByrd, to Fitzgerald.
“Unfortunately, as wewant to bring new peoplein, we have to look at thecommittees and maybesomebody has to comeoff,” Gross said.
Gross said there havebeen 22 new committeeand commission mem-bers appointed since 2014,meaning 36 percent of
members have served forless than two years.
“I think new blood iswonderful, but I can’t forthe life of me understandwhy we would turn awaysomeone who is willing toserve,” Bailey said.
The number of posi-tions on each of the com-missions are set by thecity charter, but commit-tee positions are not. TheBeautification Commit-tee is one of the largestwith eight. Some of themembers who spoke saidthey served as volunteersbefore a position becameavailable on the commit-tee.
Weisgerber made amotion to table the ap-
pointments so membersof council could go overthe qualifications of eachof the appointments. Themotion failed 4-3, withWeisgerber, Phelps andBailey voting for it andFitzgerald, Settell, Coxand Gross voting againstit.
The former membersof the beautification com-mittee thanked Weisger-ber, Bailey and Phelps intheir letter of resignationfor their support for thecommittee and DonnaBednar.

Moeller High School’sbaseball record bookreads like a Who’s Who inthe sport.
Even to a casual base-ball fan, the records docu-ment the early success ofmany familiar namesfrom the professionalranks. The spotlight isshining especially brightthese days on one - alum-nus Ken Griffey Jr. (orKenny as he was knownback in a day). He was re-cently elected into theBaseball Hall of Fame.
While attending Moell-er High School, Griffey,the son of baseball legendKen Griffey Sr., easily es-tablished himself as a starathlete. While an amazingbaseball player, however,his classmates didn’t thinkabout him as a future Hallof Famer or major lea-guer. He was just Kenny.One of the guys.
Today Andy Nagel isthe director of baseball op-erations for the Univer-sity of Cincinnati. In 1987he was a teammate andclassmate of Griffey. Na-gel was a junior that yearand pitcher on the varsityteam. Griffey was a senior.He said one word that real-ly describes Griffey thenand now is charismatic.
He was fun and ener-getic. Someone peoplewanted to be around, Na-gel said.
“People just kind ofgravitated to him. Hewould do anything for hisfriends,” he said.
Whenever Griffeywent to games to watch hisfather play, he always re-turned with battinggloves, cleats, wrist bands.
“He’d give this stuff outto his classmates andteammates,” Nagel said.
From the outside, hesaid, it is inspiring and in-credible to considerMoeller and Griffey as aclassmate.
“When you’re a 16-, 17-,18-year-old kid in highschool, he was just anotherguy,” he said. “He nevertreated anybody as if theywere lower than he was.Obviously his dad wasplaying professional base-ball, but he never cameacross as arrogant.”
A legend in his ownright, coach Mike Camer-on shared similar memo-ries of Griffey. During hisyears as the head varsitybaseball coach at Moeller,many athletes benefitedfrom Cameron’s coachingas evidenced by the 30who signed professionalbaseball contracts, the 10who played major leaguebaseball, and two whomade it to the Hall ofFame, Griffey and BarryLarkin.
“I’m in awe to think thatI had the opportunity tohave two Hall of Fameplayers play for me up atMoeller,” he said. “I wouldlike to say that I had agreat deal to do with theirsuccess after Moeller, butthe truth is they were very,very talented baseballplayers.
“Nonetheless I’m verypleased to see that hemade the Hall of Fame.”
Cameron said that Grif-fey really enjoyed beingaround his teammates andclassmates.
“He always had a smileon his face. Kenny sup-
ported the players whenthey made good plays orgot big hits. Kenny wasone to congratulate them.In that way he fit right in,”he said. “Kenny really en-joys being around otherpeople. That’s the thing Ithink when I think of Ken-ny. Other than the base-ball, just the smile and theway he liked to cut up withthe other guys. In that wayhe was very typical of ahigh school kid.”
As a talented athlete,Griffey attracted a lot ofattention – especially hissenior year.
There was a lot of atten-tion from the professionalteams. They came togames and called Camer-on asking about Griffey,his personality and his in-terest in playing profes-sional sports.
“Almost on a daily basisit seems like I would talkwith Kenny about whatwas going on and who wasthe latest to call,” Camer-on said. “Then I realized,maybe Kenny wants to goto college. I remember oneday I said ‘Kenny, I neverasked you, are you inter-ested in going to college?Because I’m sure I couldcall any college and theywould take you.’
“He said, ‘coach, I wasborn to play baseball.That’s what I want to do.’ Ithought to myself ‘that’s aguy who knows where he’sgoing because God’sblessed him in that areaand his dad has been agreat role model for him.’”
The attention neverseemed to make him ner-vous, Cameron said. Theonly time he was evertense was when his dadcame to a game.
“I used to tell his dad,‘I’m glad you came, butcan you hide?’ His dadwould tell me, ‘that son-of-gun will know that I’mhere. Somehow, some way,he would know,’” he said.
Griffey is also gener-ous. Prior to the start of hisfirst spring training campas a Seattle Mariner, Grif-fey treated Cameron and afew others to trips out toArizona.
“That’s stuff behind thescenes that nobody knowsand I think there might besome more events likethat,” Cameron said.
There’s several thingsCameron said he reallyloves about Griffey. Onething he especially ad-
mires, however, is his de-votion to his three chil-dren.
“When they were veryyoung and I would run intoKenny he would alwayswant to show me picturesof them and talk aboutthem,” he said. “I wouldask him a question and hewould immediately turn itback to the kids. He’s al-ways been that way. It’sjust the very thing abouthim that I really respect;that he tried to be a goodparent and I think he hasbeen.”
‘People just kind of gravitated to him’Griffey Jr. wasjust “Kenny” atMoeller High

Milford wants to buildan amphitheater on itsriverfront.
A steering committeeof Milford City Council’sCommunity DevelopmentCommittee and the Mil-ford Parks and Recrea-tion Commission of volun-teers is putting togetherplans for an amphitheaterin the area of the play-ground at Riverside Parkon Water Street.
Riverside Park is onthe banks of the Little Mi-
ami River and near VictorStier American LegionPost 450.
Specifics about the am-phitheater – its exact loca-tion, size, the amount ofseating and cost – have yetto be finalized.
The steering commit-tee is expected soon topresent a plan to MilfordCity Council and the pub-lic for feedback, MayorLaurie Howland said.
Howland said she waspart of the early talksabout the plan, but nolonger is a member ofcouncil’s Community De-
velopment Committee.“I am excited to see
what con-cepts thenew mem-bers andcurrentmembersof thesteeringcommitteebringforth,”
Howland said.“The amphitheater will
serve a dual purpose: alarger covered picnicarea for daily use as wellas potential event venue
for performances.”Howland said River-
side Park is one of Mil-ford’s greatest assets sofar as parks are con-cerned.
“Chuck Evans, chair ofParks and Recreation,and the rest of the com-mission have done a won-derful job of developingevents and various as-pects of our parks the lastfew years,” Howland said.
“Creating a long-termplan to fully utilize thepark is a goal of theirs,which is why the steeringcommittee was created.
“It is exciting to see thevolunteers on Parks andRecreation and the coun-cil members on Commu-nity Development worktogether to develop a planto further enhance ourcity,” Howland said.
Howland said Milfordplans to seek grant moneyto build the amphitheaterin Riverside Park.
Last year, Milford wona $69,000 federal Commu-nity Development BlockGrant to upgrade nearbyMemorial Park, which isat the corner of Main andSycamore streets, and to
honor veterans there.The city plans to build
five granite monuments,each carrying one of theseals of one of thebranches of the military,on a landscaped plazawith seating at MemorialPark.
Milford also plans tobuild a walkway from Me-morial Park to RiversidePark.
The plaza and walkwaywould be built to the stan-dards of the Americanswith Disabilities Act sodisabled people wouldhave access.
“The city is excited tobe able to create an attrac-tive and accessible loca-tion to honor our veter-ans,” Pam Holbrook, in-terim Milford city man-ager, said.
Donald Chandler, postadjunct of the Victor StierAmerican Legion Post450, supported Milford’sapplication for the Memo-rial Park funds.

The search for an Ea-gle Scout project isn’t al-ways easy.
In the case of LovelandHigh School sophomoreGary Spencer, he had toexplore a couple of op-tions before finding theright project which bene-fited the Symmes Town-ship Historical Societyand the community.
Land behind the RossLog Cabin, 11887 N. Leba-non Road, was swampyand wet making it unus-able. The historical soci-ety was hopeful of turningthe space into an activityand picnic area. Thanks toSpencer, that hope wasrealized.
“The log cabin is veryclose to my house. It’s
practically in my back-yard,” Spencer said. “Iwalk on that trail a lot andI thought it would be agood thing to do for thecommunity.”
The task Spencerchose was not easy. Phaseone was completed lastApril. Volunteers, includ-ing members of Boy ScoutTroop 888 out of the Love-land PresbyterianChurch, worked to re-move debris, clear thebrush, remove two largeroot balls, fill in holes andclean up the site. Histori-cal Society Vice PresidentC.J. Carr outlined thework area.
Phase two was com-pleted in early June whenvolunteer Brad Pucketdug trenches with a back-hoe. Phase three was com-pleted June 22 and again
brought together a largegroup of volunteers. Theyinstalled drainage tubesin the trenches and at-tached them to a sumppump to manage waterrun-off. The trencheswere filled with graveland the entire area cov-ered in wood chips.
The Symmes TownshipHistorical Society pre-sented Spencer with aCertificate of Recognitionfor his Eagle Scout pro-ject.
“This area was over-grown and prone to flood-ing,” society PresidentCarol Sims said. “We nowhave an area that can beused as a picnic and activ-ity area for visitors.”
As a requirement forEagle Scout rank, Spen-cer had to plan, developand give leadership to oth-ers in a service project forthe community, she said.A total of 306.5 hours werecontributed to this impor-tant project. Volunteershad to clear away brushand fallen trees, trenchand place 230 feet of irri-
gation tubes and thenbackfill with gravel.
“The society has beenvery fortunate to havescouts involved,” Carrsaid. “Nathan Beck com-pleted a project in 2012and now Gary Spencer.These projects were nec-essary and would havebeen an expensive under-taking for the society.”
Gary Spencer is theson of Todd and KristaSpencer.
With the completion ofthe Ross Log Cabin pro-ject, Spencer only needsto earn one additionalmerit badge to achieveEagle Scout rank. Heplans to complete thiswith a camping trip thissummer.

“The new computers are wonderful,”LECC teacher Tammie Chapman said.“The kids enjoy computer lab and itgives them a chance to work at differentinstructional levels.”
“With these new upgraded computersin our lab, our students will be able tomore efficiently access and use the pro-grams that help to best match our tech-nology curriculum goals,” PrincipalKyle Bush said. “Best of all, each stu-dent's progress can be monitored, andlearning time can be spent on using theprograms rather than getting boggeddown by login issues or troubleshoot-ing.”

Mount Notre Dame High School» Mount Notre Dame students trav-
eled to France for three weeks as part ofMND’s French Exchange Program.
This year, four students participated:seniors Jessi Mueller (Loveland), Hen-son Sullivan (Loveland), Elaine Voshef-ski (Morrow) and Gabrielle Woehler
(Loveland) traveled to Belfort, France,to live with French host families and at-tend classes with French students atSainte Marie High School.
During their time in France, studentsimmersed themselves in the French lan-guage, culture and cuisine.
“My favorite part about the Frenchexchange was being fully immersed inFrench culture,” Woehler said. ‘Itopened my eyes to a different way of lifeand a different system of beliefs. I hopeto continue thinking from a multicultur-al perception of the world.”
MND students were in Belfort whenthe terrorist attacks took place in Paris.
Students had the opportunity to visitParis following the attacks and witnessboth the resilience and patriotism of theFrench people.
The Foreign Exchange Program re-quires students to possess strong aca-demic skills, French language proficien-cy and a willingness to embrace the giftof diversity. Students must go through aselection process that includes an evalu-ation of academic and attendance rec-ords, teacher input, application and in-terview. Some of the many benefits ofthe program include increased culturalunderstanding, expanded world viewand personal growth.

Hah - remember last weekwhen I was harvesting greensfrom my window boxes? Well,
with the ther-mometer read-ing 6 degreesthis morning, Idon’t have to tellyou that I won’tbe harvestingany more greensfrom them.
Oh well, be-fore too long I’llbe thumbingthrough the seed
catalogs which arrive daily,thinking thoughts of spring.Yes, it’s a long way off, butSuper Bowl isn’t. I wanted toshare a couple of fun and yum-my recipes to make your SuperBowl party memorable.
We always have a big crowdat our house, and it’s a traditionfor me to make homemadeglazed donuts. That recipe,with photos of happy little souschefs, is on my Abouteating.com site.
Readers want to knowNatural and Dutch cocoa -
what’s the diff? Without get-ting too technical, the differ-ence is acid.
Natural cocoa powder: themore common one, is cocoathat does not have its acidstripped. It’s a light cocoa colorwith a bitter flavor.
Dutch processed/alkalized:is a darker color due to a potas-sium solution that neutralizesthe acidity. It has a mellower,less bitter flavor. How to sub-stitute in recipes: check outAbouteating.com

Guru in our backyard: Greg’s 2 ingredient buttermilkranch wings
I met Greg Grisanti, Frisch’s chef for research and development, at aveterans’ garden event last summer. We found we had many similar in-terests when it comes to food. We both like to garden and experiment withnatural foods.
Greg lives in Clermont county with his family and is a graduate of St.Xavier high. He went on to become a classically trained chef at Johnson &Wales University. Alumni include Tyler Florence and Emeril Lagasse, both ofwhom I’ve worked with, and I put Greg right up there with them, talentwise. He’s lots of fun to cook with, and humble, too. “I prefer to call myselfa good cook”, he said. His research knowledge shows in the recipes hedevelops and fine tunes for the restaurants. Like using real lard in their piesand making 80% of their items from scratch.
Greg was a guest on my cable show and he featured recipes madewith Frisch’s ingredients. I wanted party food that was easy and delish. Wewere both happy with these wings, which I’m now addicted to. I think you’llbe making them often, too. You’ll use 2 out of 3 of the wing parts. Here’smy slight adaptation.
3 dozen or so chicken wings, cut into 3’s (save small pointed wingjoint for stock)
16 oz. jar of Frisch’s buttermilk ranch dressingOptional add-ins: chipotle pepper sauce, ground cayenne, garlic
Preheat oven to 375.Place wings in a 2 gallon baggie. Pour in dressing, squeeze air out, and
seal. Gently massage bag to incorporate dressing with wings. Marinate forseveral hours in the refrigerator; overnight is best. Remove wings from bagand put in a colander to remove excess dressing. (Now I did not remove thedressing; I just poured the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet). Placewings on sprayed cookie sheet and bake 40 minutes or so, depending on thesize of the wings, until cooked through and golden brown.
Serve with Frisch’s blue cheese dressing as a dipping sauce along withcelery sticks if you like.
Baked jalapeno poppers
Perfect party food with a spicy bite. A perennial fave.
1 pound nice size jalapenos, halved and seeded
Filling:
8 oz. cream cheese1 cup shredded sharp cheddar1 cup shredded Jack cheese6 bacon strips, cooked crisp and crumbled1/2 teaspoon garlic powderSalt to tasteBreadcrumbs, regular or Panko
Preheat oven to 325. Blend everything but breadcrumbs together.Put about 2 tablespoons into each half and roll in crumbs. Place onsprayed baking pan and bake for 20 to 35 minutes. The longer you bakethem, the milder they become.

As we walked the neigh-borhoods of Loveland we wereexcited by the energy andinterests of the residents inour community.
We were impressed by thepeople we met and their back-grounds and experiences.They shared their areas ofconcern and expertise andhow they were willing to vol-unteer their time to help giveback to their community.
Our goal is to identify andbring on new people as com-munity volunteers. We arecommitted to achieving a bal-ance between “new” and “ex-perienced” volunteers. Peoplewho have never served before,but have expressed an interestto become involved, are nowafforded that opportunity. As apractical matter we also be-lieve that we have a responsi-bility to mentor those whodesire to become involved andultimately express an interestin serving on council. Expand-ing our volunteer base will pay
dividends in the future.There are many ways to get
involved and to keep up todate on happenings in Love-land:
» through our city website;sign up for our free “StraightFrom the Heart” e-newsletter;
» attend council meetings;» serve on committees;» offer assistance on issues
where you have a specificprofessional skill or experi-ence.
Every two years the mayorappoints, and council ap-
proves, members of Chartercommissions and standingcommittees in accordancewith council rules and the citycharter. Charter commissionsare: Planning and Zoning,Recreation Board, Civil Ser-vice and Board of Zoning Ap-peals. Council over the yearshas created many committeessuch as: Finance, Law andOrdinance, Fifty Forward andmost recently Public Relationsand Communications. Thereare more than 60 volunteersworking on these committees.
We appreciate all the hardwork of our volunteers, valuetheir service and commitmentand hope they will be involvedin other aspects of the commu-nity. Loveland is truly blessedwith many talented and di-verse citizens who contributeto the vibrancy of Loveland.

I had the pleasure of attending the HamiltonCounty Republican Party Executive Committeemeeting Jan. 7. At the end of the meeting, I wastold by someone that Joe Deters is now my“enemy for life,” but I didn’t start the fire, Mr.Deters did.
I used to be a gun rights activist. I’m still avery strong Second Amendment supporter andI own a gun shop in the greater Cincinnati area.I’ve always admired Mr. Deters for being astrong supporter of the Second Amendment aswell. I remember hearing a story about a perpwho robbed a jewelry store and then ran outand the owner of the shop shot the guy as hewas running away. The store owner didn’t getcharged with a crime.
Mr. Deters was asked at a press conferencehow far someone can run, still get shot, and theshooter not be charged. He said, “In HamiltonCounty, pretty damn far.”
As a gun guy and someone who carries afirearm on a daily basis to protect myself andmy family, I can respect that.
Over the past year, however, Joe Deters haslost my respect.
I watched, cringing, during the press confer-ence after the indictment of Officer Ray Tens-ing. The pandering, political correctness andposturing was unbearable. Some of the thingshe said made my blood boil. All this politicaltheater to quell the threat of riots and to keepthe “Black Lives Matter” protesters at bay. Mr.Deters played judge, jury and executioner andhis words guarantee that Tensing will neverreceive a fair trial in Hamilton County. It was areally sad thing to see.
Then I was watching TV one day last fall anda commercial for Responsible Ohio, the mari-
juana amendment, comes onand who is endorsing a mea-sure that adds a monopoly tothe Ohio Constitution? Why it’snone other than Mr. Detersonce again. More respect lost.
How can someone who con-siders himself a conservativesupport a measure such asthis?
The final nail in the coffincame during the last few daysleading up to the November
election. I live in Springfield Township I decid-ed to run for township trustee against 20-yearincumbent Gwen McFarlin, a Democrat. I wasthe endorsed Republican candidate. Imaginemy surprise when I see a postcard in my mail-box from my opponent that includes a pictureof her with Deters, and a quote from him underthe picture saying to vote for my opponent Nov.3.
So, back to the executive committee meet-ing. I took a handout that outlined all thesethings, and gave one to each of the members ofthe committee as they entered the room. Be-fore the endorsement vote, I made a motion tohave him removed from the list of endorsedcandidates. The motion was seconded andabout 10 people voted with me.
If he doesn’t respect the endorsement proc-ess and support the endorsed candidates, whichis a requirement in the party constitution, thenhe doesn’t deserve to receive an endorsement .

Jan. 13 questionWhat changes, if any, would
you make to the primary systemfor choosing presidential candi-dates?
“Not necessarily limited tothe primary system, ratherour entire election system, Iwould make the whole thingshorter. My proposal wouldstate that the ‘election cycle’will start no more than threemonths prior to the election.One week to register as a can-didate, one week to BS the pub-lic via media, two weeks tohold the primaries (all ofthem), two months to furtherstate your case to the votingpublic including one debateper month, one day off andthen the election is held. Oneadditional refinement to thisincredibly practical planwould be that political adswould be run on one specialchannel only, 24/7. If peoplewant to hear all the BS they canchoose to turn on that channelfor enlightenment.
“Oh, two more terrific re-finements that I know you willlove, they are beautiful: 1)Term limits. Two terms anddone, then go get a real job likethe rest of us. 2) No pensions,no continued salary for life, nospecial health care programother than those offered tocommon folks. It is called pub-lic service for a reason.”
M.J.F.
Jan. 6 questionWhat is the best way to han-
dle the Syrian refugee situa-tion?
“The United States shouldnot allow Syrian refugees toenter the US at this time. Al-most everyday there are crim-inal activities in the US andEurope involving Syrian refu-gees. Much of such activityhappening in Europe at thepresent time is not being wide-ly reported.
“It is estimated that it coststhe FBI and Department ofHomeland Security $60,000 -$70,000 to screen each refugeeand the Agencies state theyare unable to do so sufficientlyto be assured that the refugeesare not terrorist risks. It is alsoestimated that 90-plus percentof all recent refugees comingto the US are on food stampsand 70 percent received cashwelfare and government fund-ed health care. The US can illafford the cost and terroristthreat brought about by therefugee situation. Our nationaldebt is unsustainable. Thereare many problems in thecountry because of our diffi-cult fiscal situation that are notbeing addressed, and our lawenforcement agencies areoverextended because of ter-rorist investigations, of whichrefugees are a significant part.
“Two major responsibilitiesof our elected politicians are toprovide for the safety/securityof the populace and to be re-sponsible stewards of our taxdollars. On Nov. 17, the OhioHouse of Representativesoverwhelmingly passed a res-olution that read in part: ‘RE-SOLVED, That we, the mem-bers of the 131st General As-sembly of the State of Ohiourge the President of the Unit-ed States to prevent the reset-tlement of Syrian refugeesinto the State of Ohio as well asthe United States of America.’This resolution was sent to the
President, the Secretary ofHomeland Security and otherFederal Government officials.It was a disappointment tolearn that State Rep. TomBrinkman, who representsOhio District 27, which in-cludes Anderson Township,voted against this resolution.He was the only Republicanrepresentative to do so.’
J.E.D.
“The United States musttake a leadership role to bringworld powers together to es-tablish safe zone(s) within theSyrian refugees’ homelandproviding a safe haven fromenemies. Involve the UN inpolicing these safe zones toprotect refugees while notjeopardizing any American onAmerican soil. This processwould also make it easy forrefugees to reclaim theirhomeland when the crisisends.
“The U.S. must step up ourleadership role in workingwith all parties to find a politi-cal solution to the Syrian War.It will require moral leaders,with the political will, workingfrom strength to end this war.Politics must be removed fromthe process, e.g., the ‘politicalclass’ who do not have the po-litical will to find a real solu-tion. There is no place for theill informed and others thathave hidden agendas, includ-ing the likes of our own cur-rent state representative fromDistrict 27, Mr. Tom Brink-man, who voted against a ref-erendum (H.C.R. No. 31), de-signed to send a message toPresident Obama to keep Syri-an refugees out of the USA andOhio.
“With the vast majority ofcitizens being against bringingSyrian refugees to America,why does so many of the politi-cal class keep pushing for-ward? On the surface none ofthis seems to makes sense, es-pecially considering recent re-ports of Syrian refugees, hereand abroad, being arrested forsuspected terror activity orother charges such as rape asin Germany.
Without doubt, this is a hu-manitarian issue; however isthere something far more sin-ister. What about the moneytrail? Who is in line to gainfrom Syrians refugees comingto America?”

LOVELAND - As they waitedpatiently as freshmen and soph-omores, current Loveland HighSchool seniors Alyssa Stahl andHailey Bauer saw the girls var-sity basketball team win justthree out of 45 games.
Now in their final prep go-round, the Lady Tigers are hop-ing to surpass last year’s 11-12overall mark. The two seniorslead the team in scoring withBauer hitting around 12 pointsper game and Stahl 10.
Bauer actually has had to beextra-patient, having enduredACL tears and missing the lasttwo seasons.
“First she tore her left, thenher right,” Loveland coach HerbLaughman said. “She hasn’tplayed since her freshman year.She worked her tail off to getback.”
Bauer has been the team’s topthree-point threat and both haveaccurate from the charitystripe. Stahl also leads the teamin blocks even though she’s a fewinches shorter than much of thefrontcourt.
The rest of Loveland’s keycontributors are mostly fresh-men and sophomores. Ninth-grade post players, Marie Plittand McKenzee Atkinson, are 6-foot-1 and 6-foot-3, respectively.Both consistently hit from 6-7points per game with roughlythe same amount of rebounds.Another 6-foot-1 freshman,Courtney Henthorn, comes offthe Loveland bench.
“We’ve taken some lumps andhad our ups and downs,” Laugh-man said. “We’re learning toplay through some mistakes.They’re doing the little things tohelp them succeed, they justneed to execute. That comeswith time.”
Sophomore Colleen Swift hasquickly adapted from her non-
stop energy as a Loveland soc-cer player to run the point in bas-ketball for a second consecutiveseason. She leads the team insteals and assists.
“She’s more under controland has great passion,” Laugh-man said. “She sees the floor bet-ter and it’s only going to get bet-ter over time.”
Regardless of how this sea-son turns out, Loveland appearsto be a force in the ECC in com-
ing years with an ominous postpresence of a combined 221inch-es in Plitt, Atkinson and Hen-thorn. The DNA is also good withAtkinson being the daughter of aformer University of Virginiawomen’s basketball player.
“Over time, the more experi-enced they get, they’re going tobe tough to handle,” Laughmansaid. “They need to stay togetherand stay committed. They’revery unselfish. We just need to
keep motivating them.”The Lady Tigers came out of
the gates 3-0 in November, butthen struggled in Decemberwinning just one of five. Laugh-man hopes to right the ship inJanuary, but the schedule in-cludes talented Eastern Cincin-nati Conference teams in Turpinand Glen Este, along with McNi-cholas out of conference.
“The record says who weare,” he said. “That’s what hap-
pens when you have a youngteam. We have to get more con-sistent. We need the young pupsto step up. Their time’s coming.”
Turpin visits Loveland Jan.13, with Glen Este in three dayslater for a Saturday matinee.
“I love this group,” Laugh-man said. “Practices are fun. Wecome in and compete againsteach other and we’re only goingto get better.”

READING - In his chase tobring a third consecutive GirlsGreater Cincinnati League bas-ketball title to Mount NotreDame, Dr. Scott Rogers will relyon youthful energy and veteranwisdom.
His veteran wisdom tells himhis two ninth-grade starters areno longer freshmen. Two-thirdsinto the season, in the eyes ofthe dribbling Doc, Julia Hoe-fling and Gabby Marshall arefull-fledged varsity playerswith all of the expectations thatbrings.
“They’re very good, but theystill don’t know what very goodmeans at this level,” Rogerssaid. “It takes some time toknow how to play against pres-sure for 32 minutes. They’re notused to being so heavily guard-ed.”
At forward, the 5-foot-10Hoefling is right with seniorAbby Weeks in scoring with
both hovering around 12 pointsper game. Not far behind is 5-foot-6 guard Gabby Marshall.This is the first time Rogers canrecall starting two freshmenfrom the beginning of the sea-son.
In addition to their point pro-duction, Hoefling is MND’s toprebounder and leads in blocksand assists. Marshall leads theteam in steals.
The pair made the lineupwith MND losing six seniorslast season, including theleague’s top scorer in NaomiDavenport. Weeks is now theteam veteran and has nearlydoubled her production of thelast two seasons.
“She’s a natural scorer andshe’s really been working hard

on her defense,” Rogers said.“Everybody else sees that.”
Other key contributors forMND are junior Maria Pisciottain the pivot and sophomore Ab-bie Voss, whose brother, Riley,is a Moeller High School starter.Senior Abbie Scholz was hurt atthe end of last season and is hop-ing to be cleared to play in a fewweeks.
Casey Dingwall, Bella Mono-men and Chase Bauer are theother Cougar seniors.
“Some of them aren’t in therotation, but I’ve gained a lot ofrespect for them,” Rogers said.“They’ve had to lead from thebench and in practice in howthey approach things.”
In a holiday tournament inlate December, MND droppedtwo games they were winning inthe fourth quarter to Wayne andAlter. Despite the losses, Rog-ers thinks his team and thefreshmen are gaining momen-tum.
“Gabby (Marshall) is ourbest point guard,” Rogers said.“Julia (Hoefling) is playing thefour and doing really well. It’sunusual, but you lose six seniorsand spots open up.”
Ahead for MND is a roadgame at Seton Jan. 21 and at St.Ursula Jan. 26. They returnhome for a rematch with McAu-ley Jan. 28. The Cougars wonthe first meeting 51-37.
“Our kids have come togeth-er after the losses at the break,”Rogers said. “I don’t care ifwe’re starting freshmen or sen-iors, our goals aren’t going tochange. That’s to compete at thehighest level as we can and getas close to Columbus as we can.We’re not going to back downfrom anybody.”

» Preps 360 weekly video:Our sportswriters chat on videoeach week about high schoolsports highlights. Adam Baum,Rick Broering, Nick Robbe andScott Springer look back at lastweek’s games and take a lookahead to key matchups.
The Greater CincinnatiSports Awards will be promotedbetween now and June online, inprint and especially on socialmedia. Look for info in placessuch as Facebook, where we’llfoster discussion and conductreader polls on high school ath-letes and high school spirit, andalso in places such as Snapchat,where we’ll produce storiesabout top athletes and loyalfans.
Enquirer Media, which in-cludes the Community Press &Recorder, is celebrating thespirit of high school sports inSouthwest Ohio and NorthernKentucky through creation ofthe Greater Cincinnati HighSchool Sports Awards for 2015-16.
Members of the EnquirerAll-Star teams chosen for thefall, winter and spring sportsseasons will be invited to attendwith their families and friendsan awards dinner Thursday,June 23, at Duke Energy Con-vention Center. The speakerwill be Pete Rose, the all-timebaseball hits leader and long-time Cincinnati Reds star.
The reason for the newawards is simple: High schoolathletics are central to life inour public, private and Catholicschools and in our communities.Whether it be Friday night atthe football field or a Tuesdaynight in the gym for a girls bas-ketball matchup, interscholas-tic sports promote achievementin our young people and passionamong students, parents andalumni.

BLUE ASH - Ursuline Acad-emy’s youth – in terms of inex-perience, not grade level – hascost the Lions on a number ofoccasions.
Of the six juniors on the ros-ter, only one (Maddie Stuhl-reyer) is used to playing sig-nificant minutes at the varsitylevel. Senior Olivia McCloy isalso just getting used to thepace of play again after notplaying her junior season.
“We always play hard,”coach Keith Starks said. “We’restill trying to get accustomedto the pace of the varsity level.We don’t do the little things, ei-ther. We turn it over too much,foul too often and don’t make asmany shots around the rim.”
Against teams such asMount Notre Dame, where thethreshold for error is alreadyslim, those miscues put teamsat an even greater disadvan-tage.
The GGCL isn’t having ayear where these players couldease into the varsity game.MND and McAuley set thepace. St. Ursula has double-dig-it wins and Mercy sits onegame above .500.
“A lot of these kids arelearning on the fly,” Starkssaid. “Unfortunately, ourleague isn’t down. When youdon’t show up and play, any-body can beat you.”
The good news for the Lionsis that all these issues are cor-rectable.
McCloy has come back fromher year off to be second on theteam in scoring. Elle Folan,who’s had her struggles han-dling point-guard duties, is pro-gressing. Both have been im-portant for Ursuline this year.
There are still some goodthings out there for the Lions,too.
“We’ve got eight gamesleft,” the coach said. “Hopeful-ly, we can finish 8-0 in thatstretch. 15-7 sounds a lot betterthan 7-7 at this point.”

It doesn’t matterwhere you look on theinternet these days thescammers are out therehoping to get your atten-tion.
Jason, of GreaterCincinnati wrote me, “Alady and her husband areliving off robbing goodpeople – and maybe ex-posing them will keepthem from getting otherpeople.”
Jason says he sawyard sales posted bythese people on severalwebsites. He writes,“They have multiple adstrying to sell everythingfrompurebred puppies to
cars andTVs. Re-cently theysold me abrokenPlaystation3. It didn’twork andafter try-ing to con-tact them Iwas
blocked and ignored.”Jason says after he
reported the sellers tothe website on which hebought the unit he, “start-ed hearing about howthey have scammedmany young people intobuying broken or falsely
advertised items.”Ohio Attorney General
Mike DeWine says in2015 his office receivedabout 30 complaints frompeople who said theybought a puppy or otherpet online, but neverreceived anything inreturn. The average lossto consumers was about$1,200.
As was the case withJason, the key to stop-ping this fraud is to askto see the item being soldin person before youmake any payments. Justseeing a picture of the
item or the puppy onlineis not enough to protectyou from these scam-mers.
DeWine says, “In atypical puppy scam aconsumer finds an ad fora puppy online. The con-sumer communicateswith the seller, agrees tobuy the puppy, and even-tually wires a few hun-dred dollars to have thepuppy delivered.”
Rather than receivingthe puppy the consumergets a demand for moremoney to either to payfor insurance or trans-
portation costs. If theconsumer doesn’t pay theseller may threaten toturn him in for animalabuse.
Research any breed-ers and sellers carefullybefore you agree to buyanything. Remember,Jason says when he did alittle checking he startedhearing about many oth-ers who were alsoscammed. If you can’tfind anything about abreeder you need to beskeptical because theattorney general sayssome scam artists
change names regularlyto trick consumers.
When it comes to pup-pies, be sure to see itfirst and try to take it toan independent veteri-narian for a health exambefore agreeing to buy it.Finally, never wire mon-ey to a stranger becauseit is next to impossible toget it back if there’s afraud.

Clermont County Pub-lic Health is partneringwith Dr. Gwendolyn Stef-fen from Henehan Animal
Hospital inMilfordand Cler-mont to theRescueHumaneSociety tooffer a low-cost rabiesvaccina-
tion clinic.The clinic will be 2 p.m.
to 5 p.m. Saturday Jan. 30,at Live Oaks Campus,5956 Buckwheat Road,Milford.
“Only about 45 percentof dogs and less than 20percent of cats in Cler-mont County are currenton their rabies shots,”said Rob Perry, directorof the environmentalhealth division with Cler-mont County PublicHealth. “We hope to in-crease that number withthis clinic, where pet own-ers can vaccinate theirpets at a cost of only $5(cash),” Perry said.
In order to receive ashot animals must be ingood health and must be
leashed or in a carrier. Athree-year vaccinationcan be obtained with doc-umentation of vaccina-tion status. Without docu-mentation, an animal willreceive a one year vacci-nation. In addition to thevaccinations, Clermont tothe Rescue Animal Shel-ter will be selling 2016 doglicenses, for $16.75 (cashor check only).
“While cases of rabiesin humans and domesticanimals are rare in Ohioand the U.S., the virus ispresent in the local wild-life population. In 2015, 20bats and six raccoons test-ed positive for rabies inOhio,” Perry said.
“We receive on aver-age 300 animal bite re-ports annually. Each ofthose must be investigat-ed, which involves quar-antining or testing the ani-mal that caused the bite.Keeping your pet vacci-nated is vital in protectingyou and your pet from thisdeadly disease,” said Per-ry.
