About 100 Loveland resi-dents have mittens and hats toget them through the winterthanks to a partnership be-tween a Loveland PrimarySchool teacher and the Love-land Initiative.

Second-grade teacher Jen-nifer Hilton’s class read twoholiday books about presentsand mittens. Her class talkedaboutwhat itwouldbe liketogothrough the winter withoutmittens and hats. She and herstudents set a goal to raise $3

each to help get mittens forlow-income families in Love-land through the Loveland Ini-tiative.

“We asked the students tonot simply ask someone formoney, but that they earn it,”Hilton said. She encouragedher students to do extra choresor help a neighbor to earn the$3.

Loveland Initiative VicePresident Mary Hensley com-mended Hilton for making herlesson revolve around volun-teering so they are both able to

Caroline Clegg is in seventh-grade at St. Columban School inLoveland. She plays volleyballfor the school, but her first loveis her dogs.

At 12 years-old, CarolineClegg is one of the nation’s topjunior dog handlers, and ownerof more than one championGolden retriever. She was inNew York City at MadisonSquare Garden Feb. 10-11 forthe Westminster Kennel Club138th Dog Show with her dog,Rumor.

“This will be my third time,”Caroline said before she left.“It’s really exciting; the adrena-line rush because it’s hosted atMadison Square Garden for allof these years.”

In its 138th year, the West-minsterDog Show is the secondlongest running sporting eventin history – next to the Ken-tucky Derby. (140) Carolinemade her first appearance atWestminster at the tender ageof 9. Her second time at West-minster was last year, at 11years-old, when she handledBella, her female Golden re-triever. This year it was Rumor,her male Golden retriever.

“Both my parents have al-

ways had Goldens,” Carolinesaid. “I’ve just lived with Gold-ens allmy life. I just love them.”

Clegg started showing dogsat only 5-years-old. She’sranked No, 2 among junior doghandlers 9-18 years-old, and hasbeen ranked No. 1 in the past.Her parents, Brian and MaryClegg, are dog handlers – theymet at a dog show. Mary evenwon a group award handling aKuvasz at Westminster whileseven months pregnant withCaroline. She was destined tofollow in the family paw prints.

“My parents were alwaysprofessional handlers for yearsand years,” she said. “I’ve justalways loved it.”

She also learned well.Though she and Bella did notmove on at Westminster eithertime,judgescomplimentedCar-oline on her handling skills. Thetwo have earned several honorstogether.

“I’ve won quite a few place-ments in the group with Bella,”she said. “I’ve wonmaybe 20-30‘Best Junior’s’ with Bella. Ru-mor and I are pretty much juststarting out.”

Caroline just started work-ing with Rumor last summer.They’restill figuring thingsout.They spend about 15 minutestraining three to four days per

week. It’s not a lot, but once thedogknowswhat it is supposedtodo, the key is not to make thedog tired. They also compete inshows twice a month – more inthesummer.Youhave toqualifytoshowintheWestminsterKen-nel Club Dog Show.

“Last year you had to have10class wins to go to Westmin-ster,” Caroline said. “This timeyou had to win seven “Best inJunior” to qualify, and we werethe first to qualify.”

They show in cnformation,not in obedience and agility. ItmeansRumor is judged accord-ing to American Kennel Clubstandards for golden Retriev-

ers. There are standards forsize, bite, and coat. Male gold-ens should weigh 70-75 poundsand stand 22.5-24 inches tall.Grooming helps get Rumorlooking his best.

“When we’re bathing anddrying him, we want to makesure his coat is lying flat, notflipping all over,” she said. “Ithas a top coat which gives it itscolor and then an under coat forwarmth.”

Once at the show, they get“stacked” with other dogs, goaround the ring, stackagain andthe judge goes over the headand body to assure Rumor con-forms to standards. Usually

there is a carpet or mat she’llwalkhimacross for the judge toreview his movement. Theylook for the tail to be a certainposition, and for his gait, frontand side, to look a certain way.

“We just want to practice tomake sure it is all right,” Caro-line said. “It has to look right. Itall has to look professional.”

Mary Clegg said Carolinehas great instincts for identify-ing when something is wrongand adjusting. At one show, Ru-mor was uncomfortable withthe dog directly behind him inline. She recognized the situa-

Loveland’s spring brush pick-upprogram will begin on Monday,March 3, and will run for fiveweeks. Brushmust be placed at thecurb no later than Sunday night ofthe scheduled week of each collec-tion. The schedule for brush pick-up:

»Week ofMarch 3 - Area of citythat has a Monday trash pick-up.

»Week ofMarch10 - Area of thecity that has a Tuesday trash pick-up.

»Week ofMarch17 - Area of thecity that has a Wednesday trashpick-up.

»Week ofMarch 24 -Area of thecity that has aThursday trashpick-up.

»Week ofMarch 31 - Area of thecity that has aFriday trashpick-up.

Guidleines for thebrushpick-upprogram:

1.Limbscannot exceed10 inchesin diameter at the cut section.

2. Small twigs and sticks shouldbebundledwith twine in bundles12inches in diameter. Twigs or stickscan also be placed in a container atthe curb, but no other yard wasteshould be in the containers. Please,no loose piles of sticks and debris.

3. Limbs should be placed at thecurbwith the cut section facing thestreetandall limbsshouldbefacingthe same direction. This makes iteasier and faster to handle.

4. Brush must be placed at thecurb or edge of roadway. Do notplace brush in the roadway, gutter,ditches, or on sidewalks. Do notblock fire hydrants.

5. No leaves, pine needles, grassclippings, or other yard waste willbe collected.

Any material not meeting theserequirements cannot be collectedand will be left at the curb.

Loveland sets brush pickup schedule

tion and was able to workwith the other handler toput both dogs at ease.

“I just love showingwithmy dog,” she said. “Ialways have a bond withmy dog. It’s kind of fun tosee them have fun in thering.”

While there were noawards for her and Ru-

mor at Westminster thisyear, seeing Carolinewith her dogs leaves nodoubt theyhave fun in thering. After all, she andRumor are just gettingstarted. He won his firstmajor at a show inMinne-sota the firstweek of Jan-uary. No doubt they’ll beback in the WestminsterKennel Club Dog Show inthe years to come. Doesshe set higher expecta-tions as they gain experi-ence together?

“I think you do everytime we do a little bit bet-

ter,” said Caroline.“There’s a little more im-provement every singletime. I think thewholebigpackage isOK, but the lit-tle things; the icing on thecake needs a little morework every time. We dothe best we can and havefun.”

Cold temperaturesand problems with signdesign have delayed aconstruction project thatwill help move trafficthrough Blue Ash andMontgomery.

ThePfeifferRoadpro-ject will add an extraright lane to Interstate 71between the PfeifferRoad exit and Interstate275. With the extra lane,motorists will no longerhave to merge intothrough traffic on I-71 ifthey are directly exiting

onto I-275. The projectbegan in January 2013.

The original comple-tion date for the projectwas October, but prob-lemswith signdesignandthe cold weather pushedthe date to April, saidSharon Smigielski,spokesperson for theOhio Department ofTransportation, in anemail.

Theproject’s first signissue was the dynamicmessage sign, on I-71 justnorthof thePfeifferRoadexit, being installed in-correctly. A new sectionof the foundation had to

be made. That work wascompleted in December.

Smigielski said the de-sign for the overheadsign foundation for I-71had to be changed be-cause of additional foun-dation length. The newfoundation takes a longtime to be made and theinstallation of it is weath-er dependent, she added.

To make room for theextra lane the sound bar-rier wall has to be re-moved.

Smigielski said con-struction is scheduled toresumeApril 1 andmightbegin earlier.

“I go up every yearand talk about the Love-land Initiative and howimportant it is to volun-teer and when you see aproblem to try to help it,”Hensley said.

Hilton’s 25 second-

graders donated 94items. In previous year’sHensley would put themittens and hats in theLoveland Initiative’sspace inside a localchurch. The church nolonger has space for theLoveland Initiative afterthey renovated, so thisyear Hensley went outand delivered the hatsand mittens to the familywho needed them.

Hilton said she part-

ners with the LovelandInitiative so the projectcan be kept close to homeand the hats and mittensher students collectedcan end up helping otherLoveland studentsthrough the winter.

“It was really cool tosee the whole thing comefull circle,” she said.

Nine Loveland High Schoolstudents joined more than 500other students from across Cin-cinnati from 7 p.m. Friday, Feb.7, until 7 a.m.Saturday,Feb. 8, atXavier University’s Cintas Cen-ter on a mission to raise moneyand awareness for pediatriccancer.

For junior Carley Lutz, whoparticipated, theeventhithome.

“I decided to participate inNight for the Fight because oneofmy close friends is a survivorof pediatric cancer,” Lutz said.“I went to the event last year,and learned how important it is

to fund pediatric cancer re-search. Cancer is one of theleading causes of death in chil-dren, yet its research is ex-tremely underfunded. Afterlearning this, I wanted to helpeven more, so I joined the lead-ership teamandhelpedplan thisyear’s event.”

Spanish Teacher Bre Sambu-chino worked to coordinate thestudents from LHS with theNight for theFight event. As theservice coordinator, Sambuchi-no saw this event as an opportu-nity for the students to connectto others outside of Loveland.

“Along with raising moneyand awareness for pediatriccancer, I hoped that the studentswould see the value of collabo-

rating with others across thecity for something positive,”Sambuchinosaid. “Theyworkedtogether for the greater good.”

While the evening was full ofgames andprizes – themeaning,the mission – was the full focus.

“It starts with individualswho want to help,” Lutz said.“Listening to the cancer survi-vors speak about their journeyshelpedmeunderstandthestrug-gles they go through, and mademewant to help prevent anyoneelse from having to go throughthe same. I really believe that asa community we can all helpfight pediatric cancer, and thatsomedaywewill live inacancer-free world.”

Loveland High School students Heather Burns, Jessica Hawk, DimitriLoukoumidis, Emily McGill, Giovanna Panepinto, Kari Watts, CarolinePrifti, Riley Clarey and Carley Lutz all participated in Night for the Fight.THANKS TO HEATHER HIGDON

LOVELAND—When LovelandHigh School’s wrestling teamwalks into an arena full of orga-nized mats, they do so withgreat passion and swagger.

Wearing “Born in theU.S.A.”-era Bruce Springsteenbandanas with orange, blackand white camouflage shorts,they make their presenceknown. Of course, in wrestlingcircles, they’re already known.

The leader of these “OrangeCrushers” is Chris Switzer,Loveland class of 1994.

“I enjoywhat I’mdoing and Ican’t see myself coaching any-where else,” Switzer said.“They guys we have right noware very talented and it’s nice tosee them have success.”

Loveland was league andsectional champion and spentthe season ranked second in thecity behind Moeller. For Swit-zer, the prize is beyond theSouthwest district of Ohio.

“I gauge my season on howmany kids I get to state inMarch and how many guysplace,” Switzer said. “I knowwhat it takes to get there. To seetheir dreams come true, that’swhat it’s all about.”

At the Division I districttournament at Kettering Fair-mont Feb. 21-22, Loveland qual-ified four to go toColumbus andone alternate. They finishedsecond overall to Moeller.

At 120 pounds, junior Bran-don Tucker has been dominant

more Jordan Paul and seniorJames Caniglia are always inthe hunt and can endmatches intheblinkofaneye.Paul finishedas district runner-up defeatingopponents from Edgewood,SpringboroandMason.Canigliatook third with a 7-5 decision

over Anthony Palacio of LakotaEast.

From 182 pounds on up, theintensity picked up as severalLoveland wrestlers were titleworthy.

The only one who didn’t ad-vance was the favorite at 195

pounds, Gunner Gambill, whosuffered an injury and lost inthe semifinals and then by de-fault in the fifth-place match.

At 182 pounds, senior Mi-chael Weber was runner-up af-ter losing to Moeller’s DakotaSizemore. Weber pinned oppo-nentsfromLakotaEastandSyc-amore and beat Miamisburg’sKyle Schmidt to get to the titlematch.

Senior Seth Brennock de-feated the formidable TinasheBere of Sycamore to make thechampionship, but lost to de-fending state champ ChalmerFrueauf of Moeller at 220pounds to finish as runner-up.

Heavyweight Andrew Altenwas the highlight with a districtchampionship win over ConanJennings of Centerville 7-3.Now he’s one of five Tigerswhocan add a state wrestling cham-pionship to their experience asstate football champs.

“A lot can happen at state,”Switzersaid. “IfMichaelWeber,Seth Brennock and Andrew Al-tenhaveagoodweekend, Idon’tsee why not.”

Awayfromthematandawayfrom pancaking defensive line-men, Alten also plays bass gui-tar in Loveland’s pep band.

“Andrew’s a Renaissanceman,” Switzer said. “He’s averybright kid. He’s got a full schol-arship to play football at Find-lay.”

Switzer and the qualifyingTigers hit the mat in ColumbusFeb. 27.

A program that rarelygets to play the role of un-derdog is enjoying its runas spoiler this year.

Moeller High School’shockey team battled inju-ry, illness, and its typicalgrueling schedule duringthe regular season, win-ning just eight games. TheCrusaders entered thepostseason with a recordof 8-15-4. Then, they tookoff.

“We knewwe had someyoung guys and that weplay in a pretty toughleague,” saidMoeller headcoach Mike Reeder. “Ourguys had plenty of oppor-tunities to quit, but that’snot in their vocabulary.They have a will to playand a will to keep fight-ing.”

Moeller outscored itsfirst two tournament op-ponents, Thomas Wor-thington and Columbus St.FrancisDeSales,byacom-bined score of15-4, settingup a showdown with top-seeded Columbus St.Charles in round three. OnFeb. 22 at theDispatch IceHaus atNationwideArenain Columbus, the longtimerivals squared off for thefifth time in the past twoseasons. Last season, thetwo rivals played threeclosely contested games,including Moeller’s 2-1

double overtime tourna-ment win that ended theCardinals’ 2013 season.

“We’ve always had afierce, competitive rival-ry with one another,”Reeder said. “Bottom line,you know it’s going to be agood gamewhenwe play.”

Earlier this year, theCardinals soundly defeat-ed the Crusaders, 5-1.Moeller entered the re-match playing its besthockey of the season, andwith an added edge ofswagger that was lackingin the first meeting. Theodds were against them,but the Crusaders knewwhat theyhaddo to tryandpull off the upset.

“It’s going to be superchallenge.We have to playwith tremendous braveryand courage,” said Reederbefore the Feb. 22 match-up. “We’re not nearly astight as we’ve been in thepast. We’re loose, we’rementally prepared.There’s not nearly asmuch pressure on us asthere will be on them.”

Roles reversed in 2014,as the Crusaders bowed toColumbus St. Charles 8-1Feb. 22 to end the season.

Senior Alex Armour isthe heart of this team.Reeder calls him the “hubof our hustle.” He sets thetone and the tempo as themost experienced Crusad-er on the ice. Other play-ers who have waited theirturn and risen to the occa-sion this season includesenior Andrew Carmi-chael, juniors Jake Fesseland Ben Sattler, and soph-omores Tony Lebarge and

Braeden Bowra. Seniorgoaltender Brian Tempelprotects the net. Sometweaks to the lineup havepaid off, especially on theattack.

“We hadn’t been scor-ing like this. Now we havethree solid lines,” saidReeder. “We have chemis-try now. It just took sometime to cultivate.”

The Crusaders gradu-ate three seniors, but willreturn with a very experi-enced squad next season.The struggles this teamfaced during the seasonwill pay dividends in thefuture as the Crusaderslook togetback to their 20-win season ways.

“We’veworked throughadversity,” said Reeder.“We think we’re rightwhere we need to be.”

A publication of

Iwater my houseplants when the leavesdroop and yellow. I

admire those who re-member that nurturingrequires daily atten-tion and commitmentto insure growth.

Nurturing in manyforms is what I haveseen at Granny’s Gar-den School.

Roberta Paolo, di-rector of Granny’sGarden School, was apartner to my Univer-sity of Cincinnati class ofstudents; we were of mutualhelp – my students worked onweb pages and videos forGranny’s Garden School, andGranny’s Garden Schooltaught them about the impor-tance of education, sustain-ability, community, and more.

In 2002, Roberta, aka Gran-ny, wanted Loveland students,

including her own grand-children, to be able to pick

flowers. Today, withmore than 100 vegeta-ble gardens, a largeherb garden, numer-ous flower gardens, athree-quarter milenature trail and anapple orchard, Gran-ny’s Garden School isnow one of the largestand most comprehen-sive school gardenprograms in the coun-try.

What many don’t know,however, is that Granny’sGarden School is an indepen-dent, non-profit organizationthat doesn’t receive fundsfrom the school district anddoesn’t benefit from schoollevies. With the recent deathof a generous contributor, thefuture of Granny’s GardenSchool is in danger.

It’s hard not to think what aloss this would be to the com-munity, in large part due tothe strong impact the pro-gram has for Loveland schoolchildren. First- throughfourth-graders – almost 1,400of them – work in the gardensweekly, benefiting by lessonplans in science, math, andsocial studies developed byGranny’s Garden School edu-cation director JodyMaher.Garden Educators work withteachers to produce hands-onlearning as well as life les-sons.

Garden educator LoriChristian, a teacher herself,notes that “kids come awaysaying they like to eat kohl-rabi,” often a surprise to theirparents. Lori calls it “natu-rally-generated learning.”

Third-grade teacher Melis-sa Prenger agrees, noting how“very lucky” Loveland is to

have the garden program.Learning is not rote, but excit-ing: “My kids can’t wait to getout to our outdoor classroomeach week and learn.”

The opportunity to teachboth in the gardens and on thenature trail is, according tosecond-grade teacher BrookeHobson, “a one-of-a-kind op-portunity for any educator.”In Brooke’s view, “Lovelandstudents have a greater un-derstanding of life science,”and that is directly related tothe outdoor, hands-on learningthat Granny’s Garden Schooloffers them.

Beyond the immediateeducational benefits, Gran-ny’s Garden School offersother benefits. Through theHarvest Helper, Lovelandfamilies can reap the bountyfrom summer garden plots.The Schoolyard Nature Net-work shares lessons learned

to other schools both locallyand nation-wide so the bene-fits of school gardens can beexperienced by districts in-cluding those traditionallyunder-served.

Yet the multiple benefitsthat Granny’s Garden Schoolprovides are in danger ofdisappearing without addi-tional support. Donations areneeded now. Won’t you helpcontribute to insure thatGranny’s Garden will con-tinue to grow? You can findout how to contribute, as wellas the many benefits Granny’sGarden School brings to theLoveland community andbeyond, by visiting the web-site atwww.grannysgardenschool.org.

Feb. 19 questionDo you agree with premise of

Sen. Rand Paul’s, R-Ky., lawsuitthat the Obama administration isviolating the Fourth Amendmentby the National Security Agency(NSA) collecting Americans’phonemetadataandrequestingaruling that would halt the pro-gramandpurgeallpreviouslycol-lected data from governmentdatabases? Why or why not?

“Rand Paul is a pure dema-gogue. He knows less about theConstitution than a high schoolstudent.

“The issue is one of provid-ing security for the country.People believe that their tele-phone conversations are beingmonitored. How uninformedthey are.

“Rational statements are notthe stock of Doctor Paul. For aneye doctor he has myopic vi-sion.Amaleversion of a formerAlaskan governor.

“He should stay with medi-cine where hemight have someknowledge. His knowledge ofthe law is based upon a desire todisparage the president who isalso a Constitutional lawyer.

“Doctor Paul is out of hisleague. Sensationalism is histrademark.”

J.S.D.

“Of course, Rand Paul's law-suit is ridiculous. He's just test-ingthewaters togetmomentumfrom the tea party and right-wingbigots forhis potential runfor president in 2016.

“Did he complain about thissnooping when the Bush ad-ministration was doing it after

9-11? Doing it now and not thenmakes this look kind of fishy.

“If a moderate, more sensi-ble conservative were makingthis suit, it might be serious —but Rand Paul is neither.

“And he'll never get electedin 2016.”

TRog

“Leaning yes. Our nation isrun under much false premiseonall levels, provenby the lyingpresident and his staff that willnever be held responsible fortheir actions...if yourDadwas aliar and you knew it, lyingmustbe OK. If your Dad stole all hisemployees information, it mustbe OK.

“Taking these records is ob-scene to many Americans ofproper conscience, and liarscan't be trustedwith such infor-mation. What kind of leader al-lows his subjects to be floggedin this way?”

K.P.

“Yes, I agree with SenatorPaul.What theNSA isdoingvio-lates the 4th Amendment rightsofeveryperson inAmericawith

a phone.Onewarrant cannot beused to cover everypersonwitha phone in America.

“President Obama promisedus ‘the most transparent ad-ministration in history,’ but allwe've seen is scandal, lie andcover up after scandal, lie andcover up.

“Howmanymore of our con-stitutional rights is Obama go-ing to destroy before he's heldaccountable?”

J.S.K.

“Do we really think just be-cause they say we won't do itanymore they are going to do itany less. I don't know I don'thave anything to hide.”

P.R.

“I can't believe this old left-winger finally can agree onsomething that extreme right-winger has to say. While thegovernment might need to ac-cess some of the info it is col-lecting, it shouldbeonlyonaba-sis of need for national securityand then only with warrants.

“None of this carte blanchec--p that they do now. I doubtthat there is presently muchabuseof thegathered infoasyetbut it certainly has the potentialfor it.

“Create the right programand all that data can and prob-ablywill beusedagainst us.Canyou imagine if Nixon and J. Ed-gar had this stuff and the abilityto use it?

“Heck, a lot of uswould havebeen rounded for national de-fense issues just because wedidn't like bombing Cambodiaor thought that people of color

should have the unimpededright to vote.

Sorry, I digress. I know thatmany of you will say ‘so what, Igot nothing to hide,’ but everytime a legitimate freedom, suchas right to privacy, is broachedfor one it is broached for all.

“Whatmay seembenign nowcan turn very malignant with-out the oversight of the people.”

J.Z.

“I thinkRandPaul isdespica-ble. I would not agree with any-thing that comes out of hismouth.”

E.E.C.

“It is fascinating towatch theRepublicans pervert their ownthemes in order to make whatsounds to them like a goodwhack at Obama or whicheverother ‘enemy’ they are afterthat particular day.

“Any other time in the last 70years it would be just fine withthemto limit public liberties forthesakeof ‘security.’ I'mnot im-pressed that Rand Paul's brandof ‘libertarian,’ right-wing goo-finess is any different from therest of that crowd. It's just plainold right-wing goofiness withear muffs and tap shoes.”

I'm inclined to support priva-cy, and I don't think there is anyevidence that the NSA data col-lection has led to any crimes be-ingprevented,but it ispretty in-nocuous compared to the facerecognition software beingused in liquor stores orwhatweallhave togo through inorder totake an airplane these days.

“If I thought there was an el-ementof reasonablediscussion,

and not just political mudsling-ing behind this flap, Iwould paymore attention to it.”

N.F.

Feb. 12 questionColorado and Washington

have legalized retail sale of mari-juana. Is this a good idea? ShouldOhio follow suit? Why or whynot?

“Oneof the arguments for le-galizingmarijuana is thatmanypeople are going to smoke itanyhow, and it could be taxed.Well, many people are smokingtobacco anyhow, and tobacco istaxed.

“At a time when health au-thorities are trying to persuadepeople to stop smoking tobacco,it is difficult to believe that adifferent kind of smokewill im-prove public health.

“Cigarettes were inventedjust before the Titanic sank in1912. When World War II endedin 1945, a large majority of thepopulation was smoking. Itwasn't until the mid 1950s thatsuspicions about the relation-ship between smoking and can-cerbegan toariseand it tookan-other quarter of a century forthe evidence to become conclu-sive.

“Something similar is ex-pected tohappen ifmarijuana islegalized.

“A large number of peoplewill have to smoke marijuanafor a long timebefore thehealthconsequences begin to appear.”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONLocal GOP leaders are making abid to host the RepublicanNational Convention in 2016.Would this be good for thearea? Why or why not?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via e-mail. Send youranswers [email protected] withChatroom in the subject line.

Before we get into this es-say take some time to thinkabout your opinion of human-ity as it exists in the worldtoday.

You also want to considerwhat changes, if any, haveoccurred from the distant past.The differences should notsurprise you. Other than tech-nology, there are few if any.

In the past there was muchprejudice and warfare be-tween populations that weremore similar than different. Itoften had to do simply withbeing from a different city.Religion was another point tojustify hatred. There, again,

small differences led to greathatred and mistrust. Compare

those preju-dices withthose of today.Obviously, notmuch haschanged. Itwas and still iseasy to hatesomeone youdon’t know.

What seemsto be so sad isthat we appearto learn to hate

without any reason other thanpast prejudices. Those preju-dices may be based on long

past history that has been mis-represented or even atoned forby later events. In many cases,nothing seems to repair thewrongs.

The symbol of this would bethe Armenians dislike anddistrust of the Turks for eventsthat took place many yearsago. With the advances in le-thal technology it seems that ifhumanity is to survive it wouldbe a good idea for all of us tochange our nature now. Selfexamination is a good place tostart.

How do you react when yousee a stranger? Have you con-sidered that the stranger may

also be examining you?If we presume that you are

a good person, the one judgingyou may be looking for reasonsto dislike you. Those reasonsmay be entirely based on anyor all of the following judge-ments. Race, religion, sex, size,dress, income, occupation,education, habits, spoken lan-guage, well, you get the idea.Are you doing the same?

As a person who does notjudge someone until I have metthem, this has been proven tobe true. On the other hand, Iam not willing to go into areaswhere crime is prevalent. Istrongly feel that this is the

responsibility of the particularneighborhood.

So, the only possible answeris that it all depends on us. Arewe capable of accepting anyother person as simply as hu-man as we consider ourselvesto be? Can wemake respectmore important than hatredand disrespect? Sometimes asimple smile will do wondersfor a person who really neededit. A courtesy like holding adoor and a “thank you” canchange your image for thebetter.

In Loveland, 111E. Second St. ishome to the Loveland Stage Compa-ny Theater. OpeningMarch 7, the

hit musical “42ND Street” comes to theLSC stage here.

Directed by Pat Furterer, producedby K Buckler, with musical direction byJack Hasty and choreography byMar-jory Clegg, this production truly has itsroots on Broadway. It started whenFurterer and Clegg joined Nancy andJim Downing on a trip to New York Cityin 2011. It had been a long time sinceFurterer had visited the Big Apple andBroadway shows there.

“We spent four days in New York,and just had a blast, and saw shows,”Furterer said.

This year will make the fourth yearin a row Furterer and Clegg have goneback to New York City. They attend atleast two shows, and do everything theypossibly can while there. Furterer saidthey don’t stop.

“It’s just so exciting,” Furterer said,while recalling one night last year whenthey went into a club with live music. “Imade her (Clegg) take her tap shoeswith her and she danced to ‘42nd Street’on the dance floor while we werethere.”

It didn’t end there. Out the door, theycrossed Broadway into Times Squarewhere they saw the statue of George M.Cohan (Composer) and broke into song.While they stood and sang “Give myregards to Broadway” a crowd gath-ered and, when they finished, every-body was clapping for them.

“Really and truly there is nothingbetter than a New York show,” Furterersaid. “What better than ‘42nd Street’that has a lot of very familiar music?The music is really good.”

And that’s how “42nd Street” madeits way from Broadway to the LSCstage on Second Street in Loveland,Ohio. The music of HarryWarren andlyrics of Al Dubin created somememo-rable musical numbers like ‘42ndStreet,’ ‘Dames,’ ‘We’re in the money,’‘Lullaby of Broadway,’ and more. JackHasty has the cast working hard on thevocals and will direct the 12-piece liveorchestra for LSC.

“It doesn’t get any better than him,”Furterer said of Hasty’s musical direc-tion.

All the music and dance reveal astory of director Julian Marsh (David

Marcus) desperately seeking to direct asuccessful show after the depression.To secure financial backing for theshow, he has to cast Dorothy Brock, anaging diva, (Stephanie Mackris) as leadfemale. Cast aside is a talented youngactress Peggy Sawyer (Katie McCar-thy) who ultimately is called upon tosave the show when Brock is injured.

“She does it and the show is asmash,” Marcus said, describing thePeggy Sawyer character. “At the end, Ising ‘42nd Street’ in a joyous way.There are some really wonderful songs.There’s a lot of energy to the auditionscene. They dance their heads off.”

Marjory Clegg has worked hard withthe dancers to bring energetic choreog-raphy alive throughout the show. Thebig number is the title number. It opensand closes the show, and then in themiddle ‘Lullaby of Broadway’ is a bignumber. The high-energy trademarktap of Clegg shines through in the hardwork of the whole cast.

“I don’t really want to say there is astandout dancer,” Clegg said. “Thosepeople, including the twelve men Ihave, have practiced so hard, and theyhave all come so far, I will not pick astandout dancer. I think they’re allstandouts.”

Not even Stephanie Mackris, asheadliner Dorothy Brock, is set up as astandout dancer. Mostly she plays theantagonist to DaveMarcus’ JulianMarsh character. It is a bit of a changefor Mackris, who, by her own admis-sion, almost always plays the princessroles.

“I’ve never played this type of an-tagonistic role,” she said. “I’m usuallythe princess.”

Mackris said her first time as antag-onist has been fun with the rest of thecast complimenting her on doing it sowell. She hopes the audience will enjoyher transformation on stage.

“Everybody comes for the tapping,but this cast adds a new twist,” Mackrissaid, “especially Katie (McCarthy)she’s hilarious. She does a fabulous job.You fall in love with her. It’s a reallygood cast.”

The “42nd Street” cast is made up of34 actors with award-winning perfor-mances in community theater and pastproductions of Loveland Stage Compa-ny. For director Pat Furterer, it was theobvious choice for a spring musical atthe LSC Theater in Loveland.

“Why not, we’re only half a blockfrom Broadway,” Furterer said.

It was a week of “lastofs.” We split and stacked

the last ofour wood(check outour smil-ing photoson myblog) andwe had ourlast sledride of theyear. SonJasonvideoed it

not just for fun, but, as hesaid, “to have evidencethat you, mom, actuallymade it down the hill.”Well, I not only made itdown the hill but I wentfarther than any of thekids. So there. I also usedthe last of our gardenbutternut squash to makea nice pasta dish, whichI’m sharing today. Allthese “last ofs” remindme that spring is not faraway.

Pasta withbutternut squashand sage

This is a real im-promptu, go to taste reci-pe. The original calledfor fresh sage and I onlyhad dried frommy herbgarden. Unless you addred pepper flakes, don’tlook for a lot of spice inthis dish, just a nice,mellow flavor.

1butternut squash, about 3pounds, peeled andchopped into 1⁄2-inch cubes

1 large red onion, coarselychopped

Olive oil8 oz. whole wheat shortpasta

4 tablespoons butter orolive oil

Dry or fresh sage leaves(start with 1 teaspoon dryor 6 fresh, chopped and gofrom there)

2-3 teaspoons minced garlicSalt and pepper (I added abit of crushed red pepperflakes at the end)

Parmesan for garnish

Preheat oven to 375degrees. Mix squash,onion, salt and pepper,and enough olive oil tocoat. Place in single layeron pan and roast about30-40 minutes, untilsquash is tender andlightly browned, turninghalfway through. Cookpasta. Cook butter, sageand garlic until garlic isgolden. Add squash mix-ture, and pasta (I didn’tadd all the pasta at once)to taste. Add more sage ifyou like. Add red pepperflakes if you want. Sprin-kle with cheese. Serves3-4.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Easy-to-peel wintersquash/pumpkins: Worthsharing again. Poke holes

all over with fork. Put inmicrowave on high for afewminutes. This soft-ens the skin. Removewith mitts. Let cool andpeel.

You know what? Thesquash/onion mixture isso good on its own that itwould make a great sidedish.

Homemadehoney-lemon coughsyrup

Ever since I talkedabout this on RonWil-son’s gardening show,I’ve had requests toshare. Good for sorethroat coughs and justabout anything upperrespiratory that ails you.

Raw honey is what Irecommend for its antibi-otic properties, healthyenzymes and other goodnutrients. Check out myblog for more healthqualities of lemon andhoney, photos and a hon-ey poultice recipe. Here’show I make the coughsyrup:

Roll a washed lemonaround (organic pre-ferred) on counter, put-ting pressure on it withyour hand to help releasethe juices and breakdown cell structure. Cutin chunks and pour honeyover to cover. Smoosh alldown with a spoon. Letsit in refrigerator a cou-ple of days before using.Store in refrigerator.

Take a teaspoonful asneeded, several times aday if necessary.

More goetta storiesThey keep coming in!Mueller family goetta.

Joyce Mueller’s familymakes goetta at Christ-mas as a gift to them-selves. She said: “Ourfamily uses pork andveal. We put the meat in apot; add water, onion,celery (the leafy part),carrots, pickling spice,bay leaf, allspice andbouillon and cook like astock. After simmeringfor about an hour, wegrind the meat, reservethe water into which weplace the ground meat, alittle barley then stir in

quick oats until one can’tadd any more oats. Placein the bread loaf pans.We fry in a cast ironskillet.”

Carol’s vegetariangoetta. Reader Sandi W.loved Carol’s goetta andwanted to know if it canbe frozen. Hopefully,reader Julie Bruns, whoshared the recipe, will letus know.

OnMarch 1, talentedteens have anotheropportunity to win

$3,500 in prize moneyoffered at the second“Hold On Talent Slam.”

The top award is$1,000 for the best per-forming art talent.

“The community hasanother chance to experi-ence a night of unforget-table entertainment,”said one of the orga-nizers, Doug Ransom.The venue was changedthis year to accommo-date a larger crowd. Thegym at the NewHopeBaptist church in Love-land was chosen becauseof the large informalspace with a stage, ac-cording to Ransom.

Loveland area organi-zations, businesses, andchurches sponsor theshowcase of talent tohonor teens who arepassionate about, andwork hard to craft theirperformance art. Singer/songwriters, musicians,poets, and dancers com-peted last year.

“It was just an awe-some event,” said Heath-er Lynch, about the firstTalent Slam held lastyear. Lynch is one of thefounders of EpiphanyUnited MethodistChurch's Andrew's Sui-cide Awareness and Pre-vention team, an eventsponsor. “It was excitingto showcase local teen-agers’ talent and providethem an opportunity andan outlet to display theirgifts.”

The event is free andopen to the public, andparking is free at the

church. There is no entryfee for the contestantswho sent audition tapesfor the opportunity tocompete. Numerous doorprizes, such as dinners atLoveland area restau-rants, are awarded to theaudience throughout theevening. The audiencewill enjoy light snacksprovided by local eater-ies.

Doors open at 6 p.m.The teens start slammingat 7 p.m.

Lynch said people canexpect a bigger and bet-ter event this year. She ishopeful the communitywill again come out tosupport the local teens.

“Last year the teensreally bonded and it wasa very positive experi-ence for them,” she said.“I think it made themfeel really good aboutthemselves because itpromoted self esteemand was overall just agreat experience forthem.”

Matt Baker, anotherorganizer said, “Lastyear’s event was soamazing. It was so power-ful because so many kids,you could see, put theirheart and soul into theseperformances.”

Baker said it was agreat event that allowedteens to tell their storiesin creative ways.” Headded, “It was a blessingto the audience whocame.”

Ransom said the eventwas moved to the NewHope gym because it wasperfect in a number ofways; the size of the gym,and the flexibility to be

able to move thingsaround and set it up theway they wanted.

“NewHope has beenvery accommodating. Wecan access their kitchenand use some of theirsound equipment alongwith what we rent,” hesaid. “And, it’s just agreat central locationthat people know.”

NewHope Pastor BillHounshell said they werereally excited about be-ing able to host the TalentSlam. “This is somethingwe like to do - be part ofour community. And, weknow the Talent Slam hasdone such a great jobproviding kids an outletto show their talent. Weare honored that this

year we get a chance tohost it and we are excitedto see what happens,”Hounshell said.

Ransom expanded onwhat Baker said, “Be-cause, I think in additionto the teens getting a lotout of it and getting re-warded, I think the audi-ence, as Matt indicatedgot to see some reallygreat talent and it was anevening of entertain-ment, it wasn’t just a‘Let’s go support our sonor daughter’ - it was,‘This is very enjoyable.’It was very well done.The kids practiced. Theydid their homework.They did wonderfully,and it’s just a great eve-ning all around.”
