After 25 years as chair-man of the Ohio Valley Re-gional Development Com-mission, Clermont CountyCommissioner Bob Proudwill hang up his gavelMarch 31. He will be hon-ored at the OVRDC’s annu-al meeting March 18 at UCClermont.

Proud was first electedchairman in March 1991,and has been re-electedannually since then. JohnHemmings, executive di-rector of the OVRDC, at-tributed that to Proud’sfairness, no matter whatparty or county was repre-sented by fellow boardmembers.

“Bob has always beenvery neutral,” Hemmingssaid. “He’s never differen-tiated between the politicsof people. He’s open mind-ed to other people’s posi-tions.”

Proud, who began histerm as Clermont Countycommissioner in 1989, is

not runningfor re-elec-tion andthereforewill not becontinuingon theOVRDCboard be-

yond Dec. 31 of this year.(The OVRDC is a local dis-trict of the AppalachianRegional Commission(ARC) and the U.S. Depart-ment of Commerce Eco-nomic Development Ad-ministration.)

During his tenure,Proud worked closely withboard members on a multi-tude of projects to pro-mote economic develop-ment throughout the re-gion. It’s often a matter ofgive and take, he says.

“We have 12 counties.It’s a very large district,”Proud said. “Our board haselected officials, privatesector, Republicans, Dem-ocrats. We have peoplewith very strong opinions.But in 25 years, we havenever once had an argu-ment.

“One county will stepback for a year to benefitanother county, saying‘you need this more thanwe do.’”

Said Ross County Com-missioner Doug Corcoran,“Bob’s always tried to

make sure all the countiesrepresented by OVRDCget their share of projects.He’s helped us get throughall the red tape.”

Pike County Commis-sioner Blaine Beekmansaid that Proud workedclosely with him whenProud sought to move theheadquarters of theOVRDC from Portsmouthto Waverly. “As mayor ofWaverly, I helped him finda building in Waverly forOVRDC,” Beekman said.

He added that Proudhas been particularly help-ful in bringing infrastruc-ture projects to Pike Coun-ty.

“Pike County has thehighest unemploymentrate, and not a great eco-nomic base. The ARC mon-ies have been critical forPike County.”

In Scioto County, Proudhelped Portsmouth getARC funding to build sen-ior citizen housing, saidEugene Collins, anOVRDC board member.“In the early ‘90s, we weretrying to get funds to buildsenior citizen high-riseapartments. We needed as-sistance from ARC, whichBob helped us get, and wewere successful. He’s avery honest individual andvery dedicated.”

Since 1991, when Proud

became chairman, theOVRDC has brought morethan $130 million in eco-nomic developmentgrants into the region. Be-sides Clermont, othercounties include Adams,Brown, Fayette, Gallia,Highland, Jackson, Law-rence, Pike, Ross, Sciotoand Vinton.

Some of the largest andmore recent projects in-clude:

» Madison Mills WaterExtension Project(Fayette County), $2.4 mil-lion;

» Gallia County Indus-trial Park Development(Gallia County), $1.34 mil-lion;

» Greenfield Rail LineImprovements (HighlandCounty), $2.8 million;

» The “Point” Industri-

al Park Development(Lawrence County), $1.8million;

» Endeavor CenterBusiness Incubator (PikeCounty), $2.2 million;

More than $4 millionhas come into ClermontCounty in federal and statefunds under the auspicesof the OVRDC since 2005.This has ranged from$400,042 for Old SR 74 Ser-vice Road Connector toCollege Drive in 2006; to$1.04 million for the Love-land downtown redevelop-ment project and $475,821for the New RichmondFront Street revitaliza-tion, both in 2009; to$504,400 for the UC Cler-mont College Center forAdvanced Manufacturingin 2012.

“Love”Love is like a little star

that shines in the sky.I see the little star ev-

ery night.The night is very dark.I can see a lot of stars.But my favorite star of

all the stars in the sky,Is the little love star.The stars are far away.I love the stars!They sparkle every

day!

“Love”Love is a puppy licking

your face.Love is a mother’s em-

brace,Love is everywhere,Love is even over

there,Love is a child’s smile,Now that’s one that

lasts for awhile,Love is the most im-

portant part of us.

“With Love...”With love comes worryWith love comes hopeWith love comes hap-

piness from all around.Just a simple hugCan tell so muchIt gives you meaningAll the way from your

heart.No matter who you areNo matter what you’ve

done

You matter to someoneSo never give up.

Seventh- andeighth-grade

Luke Black, LovelandMiddle School

“Love for my Dad”My dad has always

been there for me,During the good times,

the bad times, and any-where in between.

My dad is patient, lov-ing, and true,

Even during the timesI make him feel blue.

My dad is my tutor, mycoach, and my rock,

And in the morning heserves as a great alarmclock.

My dad can be happy,excited, or sad,

But you definitelydon’t want to see him getmad.

My dad is quiet, for-giving, and strong.

And I hope to be justlike him before too long.

My dad is my hero, myteacher, and my friend,

He will always standby me until the very end.

It’s not always easy totell my dad how I feel,

But I hope that heknows my love for him isreal.

Thank you for every-thing, thanks for beingmy dad,

For this I am thankful,lucky, and glad.

Loveland High School“Shadows of Saint Val-

entine”Through the haze of

roses and red foil,Candy hearts and

rings of gold,One should pause to re-

flect the toilSaint Valentine did be-

hold.For hidden in the choc-

olate heartAre the couples of long

ago whomA soldiering edict kept

apartIn the midst of Claudi-

us’ gloom.And behind that red

and white bear,Are torchlit nights and

secret vowsWhen good Valentine

did mend the tear,And left with joy upon

the boughs.So when the rom-com

stars alignAllow history to touch

your eyesAnd seek the shadows

of Saint ValentineWho gave love union at

his demise.

Ninth- to 12th-gradeJulia Hoge, Loveland

High School“4-4sin”When I was thirteen I

understood everythingexcept for love.

I couldn’t comprehendits function in the equa-tion of existence.

Was it supposed to sim-plify to a happy life with aspouse and kids?

Was dating just guessand check until you foundthe solution?

It never really mat-tered until someonewanted me to be theircomplementary angle.

Like anything dividedby zero, my relationshipwith them was undefined.

I reasoned that by dat-ing our friendship wouldeither end up positive ornegative.

Because of my calcu-lations I created a line be-tween us.

I realize now that lovecannot be computed.

It is something thatlies outside of integerswith the irrational.

Although some of itsproperties still evade me,I believe I now ae a betterdefinition:

Love is looking for-ward to seeing the curva-ture of their smile,

It is being able to seeall the evens in their odds,

It is creating infinityout of two zeros ∞,

It is understandingthat the sinusoidal graphwill have ups and downs,

And having the com-bined determination tofind the solution.

Construction of a new tire shop isthe subject of an upcoming SymmesTownship Zoning Commission hear-ing.

The proposal under the commis-sion’s consideration is for the demoli-tion of a former Mexican restaurantat 9035 Fields Ertel Road and con-struction of a new Discount Tire tirestore, Fiscal Officer Carol Sims said.

This property has a final develop-ment plan (FDP) on it and therefore amodification is required, she said.The commission will review the FDPand consider the requested modifica-tion that would make way for the newbusiness.

The applicant, Todd Mosher, R.A.Smith National Inc. (applicant),Fields Ertel MDA Ltd. (owner), pro-poses construction of a 7,373 square-foot building with three auto servicebays and a customer entrance to theshowroom area facing Royal PointDrive. Additional landscaping is alsoproposed in the plan.

The staff report from the HamiltonCounty Department of Planning andZoning said that the proposed devel-opment does include “several sub-stantial deviations from the SymmesTownship Zoning Resolution but doesalso provide some improvements ofthe site from its current and approvedstate.” The report goes on to say thatthe township “zoning commissionmust determine whether the request-ed zoning variances are offset by theoverall improvement of the site.”

The hearing for this proposed de-velopment is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.Wednesday, March 16, at the townshipadministration building, 9323 UnionCemetery Road.

A four-page bill is causing a stink inCincinnati. It’s a back-and-forth battleabout parents’ right to know versus pri-vate schools’ right to independent opera-tion.

The bill would require private schoolsto publish information on their websites,including enrollment and financial data.Other information – reading lists andschool bylaws, for example – would be ac-cessible to parents of enrolled students.

“Transparency is the only thing that’sgoing to save us,” said Rep. Thomas Brink-man Jr., R-Mount Lookout, the bill’s pri-mary sponsor. “Things get hidden, andthings happen behind the scenes. And theonly way we’re going to be able to makeinformed decisions and know what’s goingon is if we require our institutions to betransparent in their operations.”

Opponents have a different take.Heidi Huber, who is running against

Brinkman this election, said the bill is anaffront to the very definition of privateschooling. She called it an overreach andthe “antitheses of liberty and education.”

Huber said the bill, which hasn’t madeit out of committee yet for a full Housevote, was the final straw in her decision torun against Brinkman. The two faced offin the March 15 primary.

“Private schools are just that – pri-vate,” said Huber, of Anderson Townshi-p.“Once you start asking the governmentto monitor you, you’re basically givingthem authority to determine what is bestpractice. And they’re more than happy tostep in and do that, as we know.”

What does it say?The bill is only 16 paragraphs long. And

the substance – the part that actuallymeans something – is packed into the finalsix paragraphs.

Private schools would have to:» Publish on their website a summary

of the school’s cash flow and student en-rollment for the previous two schoolsyears, as well as the school’s policy forbackground checks of those working withstudents;

» Give parents of enrolled students ac-cess to: reading lists and curricula foreach grade level; documents concerning

the school’s bylaws; and meeting minutes“in a manner similar” to the meeting min-utes public school boards are required to

publish. Private schools already

have that information,Brinkman said, so it won’tcause much fuss to make itavailable. Some of it is al-ready on the Ohio Depart-ment of Education web-site, but there’s a differ-ence between it being bur-ied under “volumes” of

spreadsheets, Brinkman said, versus be-ing easily accessible.

Huber said that’s not the point. Parentschoose private school for a host of rea-sons, one of which is to escape state influ-ence. But it’s a choice, she said. If a parentdoesn’t like how his private school is oper-ating – if he thinks he’s being lied to or mis-led – he can choose a different school.

‘It’s very bizarre’ Anderson Township father Chris Hicks

tells stories of parents feeling vilified forwanting information from their children’sprivate schools. The usual responses: Whywould you possibly ask for this? Or, You’rethe only one who’s ever asked for this. Or,Don’t you trust us?

Some may remember Hicks from a2012 battle to get the Archdiocese of Cin-cinnati to make public its curriculum. Thecurriculum is now available online, butpreviously, according to Hicks, the policywas parents could only review it during a“supervised visit” with the principal.

And, he said, they weren’t allowed totake any notes.

“Honest to God, that was their policy,”he said. “… It’s very bizarre.”

Hicks is now part of a small team ofCincinnati parents pushing for Brink-man’s bill, HB 401. It’s “attacked as beingthis unbelievable government intrusion,”Hicks said, but really, it’s “super simple.”He demands people who are against thebill say to which of the provisions they ob-ject.

He likes his school, and he wants tokeep his son there, he said. But he wishesthere was more transparency. He tried toget enrollment numbers, for example, andhe ended up with four different numbersthat varied by 20 percent, he said.

“Why would a school not just providethat information?” he asked. “Why wouldany school send you on a goat rodeo to getbasic information?”

Will it go anywhere? HB 401 doesn’t have any teeth. If a

school doesn’t comply, there’s nothing inthe bill that states what would happen as aresult. There’s no oversight or appealsprocess.

And it’s pretty vague. Keeping meetingminutes “in a manner similar” to publicdistricts could lead to confusion or dis-agreement.

Brinkman said it’s all about demandingtransparency. He has six children, all ofwhom went to private school. That was 72years’ worth of commitment.

“It’s not like going to McDonald’s andnot liking the burger, and so the next dayyou go to Burger King,” Brinkman said.

Locally, Catholic schools constitute thebiggest chunk of private schools, so theywould be most impacted should the billpass. But Carolyn Jurkowitz, CatholicConference of Ohio executive director,said she doesn’t have strong feelings oneway or another. The Catholic Conferencetracks legislation and works with eachArchdiocese in the state.

If Jurkowitz had her druthers, she’drather the bill not pass as-is, she said – notbecause she’s opposed to the transparen-cy, but because she’s not sure the bill, aswritten, would be easily applied to diverseschools. Some Catholic schools, for exam-ple, don’t have school boards, she said, so itwould be impossible to keep meeting min-utes.

“The intent (of the bill) is perfect;there’s no problem with the intent,” shesaid. “It’s just, I doubt that some of the lan-guage is really going to fit the variety ofCatholic schools.”

Brinkman points to St. James of theValley School in Wyoming, which closedthis past school year after it came to lightthe school had been running a deficit for adozen years. Parents didn’t know whatwas going on until this past January. Theschool closed in June.

“The school had been bleeding moneyfor years,” Brinkman said. “If parents hadhad that information (earlier), they couldhave made decisions relative to their stu-dents.”

Should private schools disclose more? Hannah [email protected]

Moeller High School» For almost 30 years, Moell-

er’s annual Main Event AuctionGala has made a big differencefor many Crusaders – raisingmore than $5 million for youngmen to attend the Marianist,college-prep all boys highschool.

“The Main Event auction isthe entire Moeller community’schance to a support the mosttalented students and providethem with the education thatcan make a real difference intheir lives,” said Curt Curran,Liberty Township resident andchair of Moeller’s developmentcommittee for Moeller HighSchool’s board of trustees.

It was a far-fetched idea in1986 when Principal The Rev.Robert Marine and Director ofDevelopment Dan Ledfordapproached Indian Hill resi-dents Barry and Ruth Bucherabout chairing an auction forMoeller.

“I sat on the Moeller boardat the time and we kept ontalking about different ideas toraise funds for the school,”Borman said. “I had attended acouple other school auctions, soI brought this idea to the tableand Dan Ledford said, ‘Youhave such a great idea, you runit!’ Dan jumped in and ralliedthe school and alumni. Ruthand I started asking our friendsto support the event. It was a

great effort by everyone! Wecouldn’t have done it withoutDan and he made the planningfun for all of us.”

The 1986 event was a hugesuccess and plans quickly sur-faced to make the Main Event amainstay for Moeller HighSchool. Main Event auctionshave raised monies for every-thing from school desks totheatre and sound equipment.Now, with tuition assistancebeing our focus, the MainEvent raises funds exclusivelyto secure an affordable Moellereducation for more than 30percent of the enrolled fam-ilies.

“Tuition assistance is a lotmore than just giving dollars tofamilies,” said Charlie Lytle,director of enrollment andadmissions. “Providing supportallows Moeller to enroll stu-dents from a variety of back-grounds; race, religious, socio-economic and interests in art,engineering, world history,science and business. But mostimportantly, it provides us theopportunity to continue thework that Fr. Chaminade andthe Marianist have set forth; toeducate the whole person inmind, body and soul throughthe teachings of the Jesus to allwho wish to receive such edu-cation.”

“We never thought the MainEvent would have the longevityit has,” Borman said. It’s thehundreds of Moeller familieswho are the reason this eventhas been so successful forMoeller. Ruth and I are excitedto see our friends again and tosee the Main Event take-off forthe next 30 years!”

More information about theMain Event can be found atMoeller.org.

MARCH 16, 2016 • LOVELAND HERALD • 7ANEWS

Some stories are worth repeating.When I was in first-grade at St.

Margaret of Cortona School in Madi-son Place, Sister Justina asked me why

I wasn’t wearing a greenribbon in my hair for St.Patrick’s Day. “BecauseI’m Lebanese,” I repliedtimidly. Truth be told,Mom didn’t have anyribbons for our hair, letalone green ones.

That’s all changed,and even I’m a bit Irishon St. Patrick’s Day,sans the green ribbons,of course! The story

goes that St. Patrick went to Ireland,killed all the snakes and converted thepeople. Eating something green, likeChamp, is traditional, along with astein of green beer.

Before you know it, Easter will behere, as well. So I’m sharing two nicerecipes, one from my kitchen and onefrom reader Mary Hall’s recipe box.

Moist and buttery Irish sodabread

Check out my web site: Abouteating.com for a tutorial with photos forthis most delicious bread.

Did you know?Horseradish has lots of vitamin C

and in the olden days, was made into atea for urinary tract health. It’s pun-gent aroma clears out sinuses. It hasbeen associated with the possible pre-vention of different kinds of cancer,helping your body detox from carcino-gens.

Matzo updateA reader thought the tablespoon of

salt called for in the Matzo recipe was“excessive.” I told her I put thatamount in for flavor, but that she couldlessen it or eliminate the salt.

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herb-alist, educator, Jungle Jim’s Eastgateculinary professional and author. Findher blog online at Abouteating.com.Email her [email protected] with “Rita’skitchen” in the subject line.

Get Irish in the kitchen on St. Paddy’s DayChamp

Here’s both the something green andthe potatoes, long a favorite root vegetablein Ireland. This is good any time of year,especially in the spring when bunches ofhome grown green onions hit the farmers’markets.

2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeledand chunked up

1/2 cup whipping cream1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick) plus extra for

garnish 1 bunch green onions, sliced - green

part only

Cook potatoes in boiling salted wateruntil tender. Meanwhile, bring cream andbutter to simmer and mix in green onions.Remove from heat and cover and let steepwhile potatoes cook. Drain potatoes, putback in pan and shake around to removeany moisture. Then mash. Add cream mix-ture and blend. Season to taste with saltand pepper and make a well in the center,placing a dab of butter there to melt andmake a puddle.

Rita’s crunchy overnight Easter cinnamon coffeecake

This can be baked right away, also. If refrigerated overnight, allow extra baking time.You can also let it sit out to take the chill off for 20 minutes before baking. Either way, when atoothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, it’s done.

Cake:

1 stick unsalted butter, softened1 cup sugar2 large eggs, room temperature8 oz. sour cream2 teaspoons vanilla2 cups flour1 teaspoon cinnamon1 teaspoon ea. baking powder and sodaDash salt

Streusel:Mix together:

3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar3/4 cup chopped pecans1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 9x13 pan. Beat butter sugar and eggs together until blend-ed and light, about 2 minutes. Add sour cream and vanilla and blend. Combine flour, cinna-mon, baking powder, soda and salt and add to batter slowly and blend well. Pour into pan.Sprinkle streusel on top. Bake 35-40 minutes. Don’t overbake. Freezes well.

Gilding the lily: Drizzle a confectioners’ sugar glaze on top after it cools.

Mary Hall’s crockpot Easterham

Mary sent this hand written recipe tomy colleague, Jimmy Bonaminio. Jimmypassed it on to me. Now I’m passing it on toyou!

3-4 pound boneless ham1/2 cup packed brown sugar1/4 cup Dijon mustard2 tablespoons prepared or freshly

grated horseradish root12 oz. can regular Coke

Make a paste of the brown sugar,mustard, horseradish and 1/4 cup of theCoke. Rub over ham. Place in sprayed crock-pot. Pour rest of coke around ham. Cook6-8 hours on low. Remove, slice and drizzlewith juices.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen - measuringhorseradish

To measure prepared horseradishcorrectly, strain it before measuring.

A publication of

March 9 questionWill Cincinnati’s new profes-

sional soccer club, FC Cincinnati,which opens its season later thismonth, be successful? Do you planto attend any games? Why or whynot?

“I think FC Cincinnati will besuccessful. Soccer has such astrong following with so manytop notch school and club teamsin the area, that the ability towatch professional soccer closeby will be a big draw.

“Also, since it is not to the bigmoney level of the NFL or theMLB, it should be a more afford-able sports attendance option.This will resonate with family’swanting a competitive sportingevent where they don’t have totake out a second mortgage for avisit to the concessions stand.

“I do plan on attending. I liketo support new ventures in ourcity and I’m am fairly soccerignorant so it will help me learnthe game and be a part of theexcitement.”

C.S.

“Cincinnati has a new profes-sional soccer club? Who knew?

Perhaps a bit of advertisingwould help make the team suc-cessful.”

“Cincinnati had professionalsoccer many years ago. It did notdo well. But soccer has risen inpopularity since then due to boththe USA women’s and men’sinternational success. Plus soc-cer is played in all high schools.Two of the friendly games areversus XU and UD which willdraw nice crowds. The gameswill be at the new improvedNippert Stadium at UC. All signspoint to success. The Reds arenot predicted to do well so this

soccer may be the best profes-sional game in town this spring.Go Figure!”

“Please, tell me that you’rekidding about a professionalsoccer team.

“Are these the type of thingsthat this city knows how to dobest is spend money on whiteelephants? A professional soccerteam in Cincinnati will go overabout as good as the professionalbasketball team, the CincinnatiRoyals, which was tried twiceand failed. The only adults inCincinnati interested in soccerteams are the parents of kids inhigh school or college that are onsoccer teams just so they can goand cheer on their kids. Wouldn’tit have made more sense to putsomething like this on a ballotand have the people of this cityvote on it to see how much in-terest their would be first? Ithink things like giving tax in-centives to manufacturing busi-nesses and bringing more jobs toCincinnati would be time andmoney better spent.”

As part of the instructionalcycle in Loveland, K-12 sci-ence teachers participated ina series of work sessions toreview our science instruc-tion and resources in the dis-trict.

Teachers from all gradelevels rarely have the oppor-tunity to meet and learn to-gether so it was hard to knowexactly what might happen.The team was given the op-portunity to talk about whatscience instruction wouldlook like if there were nolimits. What would Lovelandscience look like in a perfectworld?

Through this exercise theteam was able to develop keyideas that became the con-stant threads from Kinder-garten through high school.

What happenedwas inspiring.Loveland teach-ers developedtheir vision forscience instruc-tion that notonly informedtheir choicesfor resources,but now servesas the founda-

tion for their work and pro-fessional growth over thenext four years.

Science instruction shouldbe active and inquiry-driven.We should plan our learningto be student-centered anddifferentiated to meet stu-dents where they are in theircurrent understandings. Stu-dents should be asked to readand write about science. They

should be expected to collab-orate with others.

Technology should be usedto help students understandchallenging concepts or in-crease access to other scien-tists. Student assessmentshould be performance-basedand should include teacherobservations. Assessment ofstudent understanding shouldbe used to inform the teach-er’s planning. Our resourcesshould help us make connec-tions to our community.

Our school culture shouldinclude ongoing teacher de-velopment in science. Weshould increase student ac-cess to STEM lessons. Weshould encourage curiosity.

The newly-developed in-structional cycle empowersteachers to focus on how to

engage students in their un-derstanding and applicationof the content standards. Ourteachers have identified sev-eral “non-negotiables” thatwill guide their work.

Science teachers will col-laborate with their gradelevel colleagues to developinstructional units, commonassessments, and a pacingcalendar to ensure that allstudents receive the samehigh expectations forachievement regardless ofwhich teacher they are fortu-nate enough to encounter.They will set aside time annu-ally to ensure a vertical pro-gression through our schoolsystem that provides a varie-ty of experiences. Teacherswill then use their individualcreativity to deliver lessons

that are inquiry-based anddifferentiated to the interestsand understanding of theirstudents.

Lessons will be developedto use technology when ap-propriate and provide oppor-tunities for students to “do”science as well as read andwrite about science.

The Loveland science plan-ning team has selected theresources that they feel arebest-suited to meet theirneeds in the classroom. Moreimportantly, however, ourteachers are focused on theirown professional growtharound providing “PerfectWorld Science” to our Tigers.

Did you know that Marchis Ohio and National ProblemGambling AwarenessMonth?

The term “problem gam-bling” may not mean any-thing to you, but for a smallpercentage of people prob-

lem gamblingcan mean lostpaychecks,lost rent orhouse pay-ments, a re-possessed car,and evenworse - lostjobs and per-sonal relation-ships.

In recentyears, Ohio voters approvedthe expansion of gamblingwith four casinos and sevenracetrack-based gamblingsites. These new gamblinglocations are generatingfinancial support for educa-tion, county government, lawenforcement training, andprevention and treatment ofaddictions, including gam-bling disorders.

While gambling affordsmany Ohioans - and visitorsfrom other states - opportu-nities for entertainment, toomuch gambling can result inserious consequences to thegambler, affecting family,friends and employment.This is why it is increasinglyimportant to spread publicawareness on responsiblegambling practices as wellas the dangers and risksinvolved with problem gam-bling.

Ohio’s 2012 GamblingSurvey showed that about 3percent of Ohioans have agambling problem, and 1percent could be diagnosedwith gambling disorder, so itis important to know whatgambling problems look like.

To gamble safely, expertssuggest the following: don’tthink of gambling as a way tomake money. Set a limit onhow much money and time

will be spent gambling andspend only what you canafford to lose. Don’t gamblewhen depressed or upset,and remember that gam-bling while drinking can be adangerous combination .

Some common signs of agambling problem include:borrowing money to gamble,lying about how much timeor money spent gambling,hiding bills or unpaid debts,spending a lot of time gam-bling and thinking aboutgambling, being restless orirritable when not gambling,and bragging about winswhile minimizing losses.

If you or a loved oneneeds help with problemgambling, Ohio has fundingset aside to pay for treat-ment for gambling addiction.Not having insurance or“being broke” are not barri-ers to getting help. For areferral to help anywhere inOhio, call the Ohio ProblemGambling Helpline at 1-800-589-9966. The helpline canalso assist with other livingneeds like housing, food,clothing or legal issues.

Gamblingaddiction isalways a lose-lose

A family had been dealingwith raccoons in their home.The raccoons were stealingfood, having raccoon children,making noise and creating awfulsmells. They decided to getsome help.

They called (Bernard) a nice,grandfatherly gentleman. Hepromised he could fix the prob-lem as well as all their otherproblems. The cost would be$500; but, to ease their concernsthey would not have to pay thebill for 10 years. The bill wouldhave increased to $5,000. Bythen, hopefully, their childrenwould be able to help pay, aswell as the family down thestreet who worked and saved.

They decided to try someoneelse (Hillary). She smiled andlaughed a lot. She said her hus-band would even come to helprid the house of the raccoons.She said as the only female ap-plying for the job she wasuniquely suited to influence thefemale raccoons. It was truewhen others asked for help theywere attacked and killed by

rabid raccoons;but, what differ-ence did it make.The family ques-tioned her aboutat another homeshe had beengiven access tosecurity systemcodes and she hadlet them beknown to the

neighborhood. She laughedagain.

They decided to try someonewho understood raccoons (Mar-co). His solution was to bringmore raccoons into their home.When the raccoons over-whelmed the family by sheernumbers they would control howthe house should be run. Untilthen the raccoons in the houseshould be welcomed and givenfood and shelter. He had thesupport of several wealthy cus-tomers who supported this view.

Since they did not want togive control of their home to theraccoons, they tried someonewho was not born in the neigh-

borhood; but, made a lot of sensewhen they talked to him (Ted).He talked about ways to trickthe raccoons into doing whatthey wanted. He said he wouldmeet with churches to prayabout the problem. In the end,although the family liked every-thing he said; but, they were notsure if he would really deliver.

They consulted the last per-son they thought could do thejob (Donald). He was rude,called the family names, wasloud and arrogant, and offendedeveryone. But, they found hehad been successful in the past.

Although, he had never comeinto anyone’s house to rid it ofraccoons before, he wanted theopportunity to show the familythat he could handle their prob-lem and do it economically. Hesaid I can make your home greatagain. Just give me a chance. Sothey did!

And, they lived happily everafter. (I hope).

LOVELAND – The LovelandHigh School girls lacrosseteam will once again utilizetheir unique system undercoach Ryan Hanson to chasedown a fourth consecutivewinning season.

Loveland was tops in theEastern Cincinnati Confer-ence, fifth in the Ohio Division1 South region and 13th overallin 2015 according to laxpower-.com. Loveland finished 13-4and lost a heartbreaker to Ur-suline 13-12 to end last season.

Leading the way for theLady Tigers are midfieldersKatie McElveen, Jess Morey,Morgan Naber, Katy Heathand goalie Taylor Fox. All arereturning starters along withdefender Hanna Olberding andJulia Dilhoff and Lydia King onattack.

“We’re running our pro-gram with very few true de-fensive or attack players,”Hanson explained. “We believedefense should know how toshoot and be skilled on theoffensive end, as well as offen-sive players knowing how todefend. We will be running asix middie system where allplayers can go to both sides ofthe ball.”

McElveen already has 101goals and 31 assists in twovarsity seasons and has com-mitted to play at Ohio State.Morey has committed to Divi-sion II McKendree Universityand Fox to Division I Gardner-Webb. Senior goalie Katie

Parks has signed with DivisionIII Capital University.

After scrimmages withMariemont and Ursuline, Love-land will employ their systemstarting at home with Center-ville March 22.

“Players will obviously haveto be labeled at certain posi-tions, but running with six truemiddies on the field will give

us flexibility to have whoeverhas the freshest legs to getclosest to the ball and go overthe line, regardless if it’s of-fense or defense,” Hansonsaid.

Mount Notre DameThe defending Girls Great-

er Catholic League championMount Notre Dame Cougars

hope to continue the momen-tum of an undefeated leagueseason. MND was 16-3 overalllast season under coach Rus-sell Mackey who enters his10th year.

Two of MND’s losses wereto Division I state runner-upSycamore.

Mackey returns three start-ers in Kelsey Beitman, Emily

Alexander and Dorie Coggin.Other key contributors will beJulia Harmon and Allie Dau-meyer.. Mackey hopes the 2016team gels quickly.

“They’re a tight knit groupof girls who have had to cometogether fast after losing 11seniors, of which nine werestarters,” Mackey said.“They’re truly a sisterhood andcare for each other verymuch.”

Beitman is set to becomeone of MND’s top 10 all-timeleading scorers this season,with Coggin set to become thethe all-time leading save mak-er in goal. Junior midfielderDaumeyer has committed toCoastal Carolina.

“Offensively, we have somequickness,” Mackey said. “De-fensively, we have a solid unitwho are great communicatorsand know how to play ‘D’ verywell.”

After a scrimmage withMariemont March 21, the Cou-gars start the season at McAu-ley March 31. MND travels toMason April 5 before theirfirst home game with St. Ursu-la April 7.

LOVELAND – Always play-ing a difficult schedule, theLoveland High School boys la-crosse team was a Division ISouthwest Ohio semifinalist fora second straight year in 2015.

Under coach Mike Pritz for athird season, the Tigers look tosurpass last year’s 10-10 mark,that saw them finish 6-3 afterstarting off 4-7.

A solid group of seniors leadLoveland including goalie Mar-shal Amon, a three-year starterand first team All-Region picklast season. Amon has commit-ted to play lacrosse at Wilming-ton College.

Senior midfielder MichaelNewbold was All-Region lastseason and senior attack SamWalther made honorable men-tion All-Region. Walther is athree-year starter.

Adding depth is senior de-fender Howard Jacob Law-rence who will play at WalshCollege next season and juniordefender/long stick mid DrewGrafflin who was honorablemention All-Region. Otherstarters are senior midfielderJared Frees, sophomore mid-fielder Joey Walerious, sopho-more attack Adam Clark and ju-nior midfielder Jack Sexton.

“We return most of the start-ing roster which will be a ma-ture team this season,” Pritzsaid. “We have a great group of

talented young players withgreat team chemistry. MarshalAmon is one of the best goaliesin the entire state and likely theregion.”

Amon is a candidate to be a2016 High School All-Americanand could be the fifth Lovelandlacrosse All-American andthird in three years.

Loveland begins the seasonMarch 19 at Wyoming and trav-els to Milford March 25. Theirfirst game on the Tiger turf isMarch 26 against Turpin.

“Our goal is to compete for acity 2016 championship,” Pritzsaid.

CHCA

Cincinnati Hills ChristianAcademy enters the season hop-ing to end a string of nine con-secutive losing seasons.

Head coach Jason Copes-tick’s squad is on the youngerside, but he does like how it isworking to become a cohesiveunit.

“They have invested a greatdeal of time in the offseasonworking with one another tobuild chemistry,” the coachsaid.

The Eagles return four start-ers in netminder Mack Pairan,defender Mitch Kennedy andmidfielders Kyle Renners andOwen Van Den Heuvel.

On the attack, someone willneed to step up and fill JoshuaEckert’s role. He led the Eaglesin scoring with 34 points and 26goals and was one of two Eaglesthat received honorable men-tion from the Division II south-west region.

MoellerIn his second year as Moeller

High School lacrosse coach,Sean McGinnis led the Crusad-ers to a regional runner-up fin-ish. Naturally, in year three, hewould like to guide Moeller totheir first regional title since2011.

The Crusaders were 12-10last season in the Division ISouthwest Ohio Region. Theyare led by senior close defender

Tony Lebarge who will be tryingto get his land legs after skatingfor the Moeller hockey teamover the winter. Lebarge willmove on to play lacrosse at Wit-tenberg after this season.

Also on Division I college ra-dars is sophomore close defend-er Jack Stahancyzk, a veryphysical player. Junior mid Lu-cas Klever has also receivedsome college attention and ju-nior attack Cory Lockwood andsenior mid David Denzy aretwo-year varsity players.

Other returning starters aresenior defender Logan Nelson,

junior goalie Paxton Kreger,senior attack Jack Richey, ju-nior attack Conor Rice and sen-ior midfielder David Pilopov-ich.

“We have players now in oursystem we have been develop-ing over the past two seasons,”McGinnis said. “The playersare closer this year and under-stand the importance of teamconcepts and team-first mental-ity. We’re skilled at every posi-tion this year, so if they work to-gether and play for each other,

UNION TWP. - Thefirst-ever female compet-itor at the Ohio Division Idiving meet for Glen EsteHigh School can thank in-depth statistical analysisfor her experience at theC.T. Branin NatatoriumFeb. 27.

Junior Bethany Bergerfinished 15th out of 24state-qualifying diverswith a final tally of 416.15.She had the third-best fin-ish of local divers behindElizabeth Cron of OakHills (sixth) and TeaganMoravek of Mount NotreDame (ninth). Bergerplaced ahead of Turpin’sRory Blankenship (18th)and Audrey Capanari ofWalnut Hills (19th).

Of course, Berger stillhad to make the dives, buther routine was mappedout by coach Lisa Werwin-ski, a former Miami Uni-versity diver, and a col-league from EasternMichigan, diving coachBuck Smith. Werwinski,who works in the Depart-ment of Statistics at Mi-ami, closed down an Ap-plebee’s one night withSmith figuring probabili-ties and degrees of diffi-culty that would boostBerger’s chances.

If baseball has saber-metrics, this was “saber-wetrics.”

“She knows what she’stalking about,” Bergersaid of her coach. “I trust-ed my diving lessons andall of the work I put in all

season. It was like, ‘What-ever happens here, I madeit.’”

Berger was seeded17th, her season goal wasto make the finals (top 16)and she finished one slotbetter. It was all part of aseries of goals set by div-er and coach that wereslowly knocked down oneby one.

“Our saying became,‘Live to dive another day’throughout the postsea-son,” Werwinski said.

To prepare for advanc-ing, Werwinski organized“mock meets” in practiceand crafted a postseasonscenario. As a result of thesimulations, Berger’s dis-trict meet was a formalitythat saw her place fifthwith 400.40 points qualify-ing for the state gather-

ing.Once Berger was set

for the big stage, Werwin-ski consulted Smith fromEMU again and decided tostack her order of dives inCanton. The correctplacement of hard divesmoved Berger from pre-lims to the finals.

“She was the only ECCdiver to make the finals,”Werwinski said. “When Icommunicated what wewere going to do, shejumped on board and ranwith it.”

Backing up Werwin-ski’s plan of attack werepages and pages of docu-mented dives along withdegrees of difficulty. Sta-tistically, she knew all ofBerger’s highest scoringdives and arranged themaccordingly. In addition,

she utilized her knowl-edge as a certified divingjudge across the country.

A competitive diverfor just two years, Bergerwas placed in a slightlyawkward position amongthe state’s elite perform-ers. She was asked sever-al times about the name ofher “club” team.

“I just didn’t know howto answer their question,”Berger said.

Berger and unofficialWest Clermont teammateMorgan Southall of Ame-lia came to diving fromcompetitive gymnastics.Berger was involved inflipping on mats for 13years before she begantwisting and contortinginto the water.

Berger and Southallwere the lone divers fortheir schools. Thanks toan arrangement with

Loveland athletic directorJulie Renner, the girlswere taken on by Werwin-ski, the Loveland coach.Both girls traveled withthe Loveland team tomeets and some of the Ti-ger divers also came tothe state meet to cheer forBerger.

Southall, who justmissed qualifying for thestate meet with an eighth-place finish at districts,served as Berger’s room-mate in Canton.

“She came with me topractice and was with methe whole time,” Bergersaid.

Southall was also sec-ond in the Mason sectionalbehind Turpin state quali-fier Rory Blankenship,whom Berger outpointedin Canton. Though Bergerand Blankenship werefriendly competitorsthrough the process, itwas an Eastern CincinnatiConference second-placefinish to Blankenship thatignited Berger’s fire.

“I used it to push me atpractice; it was motiva-tion,” Berger said. “Icouldn’t have asked for abetter season.”

Berger’s next aerialfeat should come laterthis spring when she polevaults for the Glen Estetrack team. On the side,she’ll continue trainingwith Werwinski. The pairhave also worked on avideo to send to prospec-tive colleges along with arecruiting letter.

The game plan was sim-ple and one Moeller had ex-ecuted before. Slow thegame down and limit thearea’s top scorer, Wilming-ton senior Jarron Cumber-land. The Crusaders wereable to keep the scoredown, but fell short againstthe Hurricane 40-37 March9 at the Cintas Center.

Cumberland led Wil-mington with 22 points and7 rebounds.

Wilmington moved on tothe Division I regional fi-nal against Centerville,which defeated LakotaEast in the early game.

“It feels good to be play-ing another game,” Wil-mington coach MichaelNoszka said. “If we playedthem (Moeller) again to-morrow, it would probablygo down to the wire again.”

Just as it was last Jan. 23at Moeller, the Crusaderswere deliberate in trying tooffset Cumberland and his30.4 points per game aver-age.

It was mission accom-plished in the first quarteras Moeller took its time andheld a 10-7 lead with theUniversity of Cincinnatirecruit missing all of hisshots.

The featured Hurricanefinally got in the scorebookearly in the second quarterwith a pair of free throws.The 6-foot-5 forward thenbegan to have an impact asWilmington wiped out aseven-point Moeller leadand went to the break lead-ing 20-19 with Cumberlandscoring 10 points.

“I started moving moreand got into my rhythm,”Cumberland said. “Theystarted screening for memore.”

Moeller took the third

quarter by holding Cum-berland to a pair of threesearly in the stanza, thenchiseling at the Hurricanelead. By quarter’s end,sophomore Isaiah Paytonhad calmly put up 12 pointsin the game and Moellerled by three.

With 4:33 left, DylanBeaugard hit a 3-pointerand Wilmington took thelead back for what wouldbe the final time. The scorestayed at 36-35 until Cum-berland hit a pair of freethrows with 43 secondsleft. Seconds later, hepulled down a rebound andthe Hurricane had a fastbreak that put them upfive.

Moeller would get a Ri-ley Voss putback with 4.8seconds left, but that wasit.

With Cumberland head-ing to UC, many fans wereanxious to see him do wellat Cintas Center where the

Bearcats have struggled inrecent Crosstown Shoot-outs.

“They were tweetingand saying for everyone tocome watch and show sup-port,” Cumberland said.“They (Moeller) are a verygood team. They beat us inthe regular season, but thatdidn’t mean nothing to us.”

The 37 points was Moell-er’s lowest output since aloss to Seton Hall Prep inthe Beach Ball Classic atMyrtle Beach Dec. 27when they scored 33.

“I knew the game wouldbe in the 30s,” Kremer said.“We knew it would be a low-scoring game. They werevery patient over at ourplace. To their credit, theyhad a good game plan. Jar-ron (Cumberland) made acouple plays and we ran outof time.”

Wilmington went to 24-1with the win, while Moellerfinishes 21-4.

the little things will takecare of themselves.”

Another young col-lege prospect is fresh-man Brendan Sigurdson.

The Crusaders pro-gram lost a senior lastsummer and they havededicated their season tohim. On March 19, theMoeller quad scrim-mage will honor RobGraham with the G. Rob-ert Graham Memorial.Graham has a brother,Jack, on the team and an-other brother who at-tends St. Xavier.

To help overcome thetragedy, Moeller partici-pated in a team buildingweekend with Stone WallSolutions.

“Former Navy Sealswere teaching our pro-gram the team-first men-tality and the importanceof being your best every-day,” McGinnis said. “Wewill consult with themthroughout the season tohelp our team.”

After the G. RobertGraham Memorial atMoeller, the Crusaderswill play at Seven Hillson Friday, April 1.

St. Xavier

St. Xavier HighSchool has established it-self as arguably the pre-mier lacrosse programin the state.

With good reason. Last season, the

Bombers won the Divi-sion I state champion-ship over Upper Arling-ton, the 2014 state cham-pion. In 2014, St. X was aregional champion andstate semifinalist.

All another way ofsaying the bulls-eye islarge and it’s seatedsquarely on the backs ofthe blue Bombers.

Even with the gradua-tion of William Holcomb,St. X’s leading scorer andone of the best players inOhio last season, theBombers are loaded withtop-of-the-line talent re-turning from last year’steam that finished 18-5.

“(This year’s team) iscomprised of a greatblend of experienced up-perclassmen with sometalented sophomoresthat will see some play-ing time right off thebat,” said sixth-yearcoach Nate Sprong. “Ourgoal is to peak in Juneand we have scheduledaccordingly.

“Last year was a greataccomplishment for the

program and a tribute tothe hard work for allthose involved, but it istime now to hit the resetbutton. This team mustcreate its own blue collarmentality.”

Returning to the start-ing lineup will be seniorattacker Griffin Buczek,who’s signed to play atCornell and was the sec-ond-leading scorer lastseason, senior attackerGeorge Thurner, seniornet-minder Alex Deters,who’s signed to play foot-ball at Princeton, seniordefenseman StephenRay, senior Mark Wal-lach and senior midfield-er Nick Pompelia, a JohnCarroll signee.

Sprong also likes sen-ior midfielder JacobLang, junior attacker/midfielder Caleb Ander-son, a Furman commit,and senior goalie CharlieRobson, who’s headed toDePauw.

The 2016 edition willbe “athletic and fast,”said Sprong. “I think thisis the fastest team wehave had during my ten-ure at St. X. Wheneverthere is an opportunitywe will be looking topush in transition.”

St. X opens at homeMarch 23 against Spring-boro. On April 5, theBombers host La Salle.

MARCH 19 & 2012-3 PM

This is the time of theyear when consumerslook for a new place toeither rent or buy. ACincinnati area woman,Jessica, wrote me thatshe turned to Craigslistseeking to find an apart-ment to rent – and un-fortunately fell into ascheme that’s hitting ourarea.

She writes, “I cameacross a three bedroomtownhouse for $650. Iwas interested, so Iemailed the link andasked about the placeand set up a walk-through. I received anemail back asking for mycontact information – so Iprovided my cell phonenumber.”

Next, she writes, shereceived a text messagefrom someone namedBryan who claimed to bethe owner of the town-house. They set up anappointment to go look atit.

Jessica writes, “Whiledoing the walk-throughBryan was very detailedabout the apartment. Hesaid he installed newwindows, new hot water

heater and,once thecurrenttenant wasout, hewouldpaint it andlay newcarpet.”

Jessicasays shewas

thrilled with everythingand agreed to secure theapartment by paying$1150 cash as a downpayment. When I askedhow she had so muchmoney with her, she saidBryan told her to get themoney from her bankand bring it to the walk-through just in case shewanted to take the apart-ment.

Jessica filled out arent application and gavea copy of her paycheckstub for the backgroundcheck. She says she wastold she could pick up herkeys a few days later.But, she says, there wasone delay after anotherand she couldn’t get thekeys. Finally, just beforeshe was to pick up thekeys, she called to get the

electric switched into hername and, “They told methere was also gas notjust electric. So I tried tocontact him and hisphone has been discon-nected,” Jessica says.

She drove over to thetownhouse and, “knockedon the apartment nextdoor to ask who the land-lord was and if they knewwho stayed here. Wewere informed by thattenant we were the sec-ond person so far thatmorning with the samestory. He pointed usacross the parking lot to

the leasing office. Theoffice was closed... Next,I drove to Colerain policeand made a report.”

Later, Jessica says,she received a call fromthe apartment complexand was told that man,who used the name Bry-an, has pulled this samescam on many people.Police are now trying totrack him down.

Unfortunately, thisscam has been used sev-eral times by peoplepretending to own prop-erty. When there were alot of empty, foreclosed

homes sitting around,scammers would claimthey owned the homes –and they collected rentfrom people who actuallymoved in. Victims wouldpay the scammersmonthly until learning itwas all one big fraud.

The way to protectyourself from thesescams is to check thecounty property recordsto see exactly who ownsthe property you’re look-ing to buy or rent. Askthe person you meetthere for proof of exactlywho they are. Never wire

money to someone whohappens to be out of townand who promises tosend you the key as soonas they receive yourmoney.

If, as in Jessica’s case,you’re looking at a unit inan apartment complexyou should never pay adeposit in cash. Alwayswrite a check to theapartment complex man-agement. So, beware.
