MILFORD — The city of Mil-ford and Symmes Township maypartner in an economic-develop-ment initiative that would createa new business-related tax in thetownship.

Milford City Council has ap-proved a resolution in support ofcreating a joint economic-devel-opment zone with Symmes Town-ship.

Milford City Manager JeffWright said talks are in the early

stages.“We still need

to negotiate a con-tract, develop aneconomic-devel-opment plan to-gether, hold a pub-lic hearing at acouncil meetingand trustee meet-ing and then coun-

cil would need to adopt the con-tract by an ordinance andSymmes with a resolution,”Wright said.

“Finally, the issue of the (joint

economic-development zone)wouldneedtobeplacedontheNo-vember ballot and be passed by amajority of Symmes Townshipresidents.

“So, althoughMilford is elatedto have a possible opportunity toworkwithSymmes, there are stillseveral items that need to occur,”Wright said.

Ohio law prohibits townshipsfrom collecting income taxes.

But the state allows townshipsand cities to work together onjoint economic-developmentzones overseen by boards of di-

rectors that can levy income tax-es in the townships with revenuecollected by the cities and pro-ceeds split between the two mu-nicipalities as negotiated.

Township voters have to ap-prove the arrangements becausethe new income tax is levied onbusinesses that operate and peo-ple employed in the zones.

In the case of Milford andSymmes Township city residentswouldnotvoteonaproposed jointeconomic-development zone be-cause the zone and taxes leviedwouldbe entirely in the township.

Symmes Township Adminis-trator Brian Elliff said it is tooearly to tell if the voters will sup-port the joint economic-develop-ment zone or not.

It is too early to say howmuchmoney Milford and SymmesTownship stand to gain by creat-ing a joint economic-develop-ment zone.

Elliff saidMilfordwouldmakea good partner for the townshipbecause of its experience operat-ing joint economic-development

After watching foul ball fly-ing onto sidewalks, players rest-ing in direct sunlight andparentsbringing lawn chairs to watch,members of the Loveland YouthBaseball Organization decidedthe baseball and softball fields inHome of the Brave Park, inSymmes Township, needed im-provements.

Mike Behrens, who was tookoffice as president of LovelandYouth Baseball Organization inNovember, decided somethingneeded to be done to protectspectators and the kids who playball in the park each summer.

“There is no real sitting there.The dugouts are not covered.Kids are just sitting there. It’s

pretty hard for the kidswhen thegets up to 100 degrees like it didlast summer,” he said.

Professional Grant WriterCharlotte Anderson, who workswith Loveland Youth BaseballOrganization, realized theleagues qualified for the MLBBaseball Tomorrow Fund, amatching grant that helps youthbaseball and softball programs.

“It has been amazing howquickly we were able to get it to-gether. It says a lot about thecommunity in which we live,”Andersen said.

The leagues needed a partner

and brought their proposal to theSymmes Township trustees.SymmesTownshipdoesn’thaveabaseball or softball league, sochildren from the township playin the Loveland leagues.

“We were happy to do it. Allthree trustees agreed,” TrusteeJodie Leis said, adding the town-ship also made a donation to theleagues.

The township was not able tocomplete the fields at Home ofthe Brave Park due to fundingcuts from the state, Andersen

A newly created city commit-tee is working to put an end tocars circling downtown Love-land looking for a place to park.

TheDowntownParkingAdvi-sory Committee spent its firstmeeting March 12 trying to findreasons and possible solutionsfor the parking problem down-town.

Loveland has not done a park-ing study of the downtown since2010, City Engineer Cindy Klop-fenstein said. That study foundtherewasanadequatenumberofparking spaces – 536 – in down-town, but people may not havebeenable to find them.ViceMay-orMarkFitzgerald said the sameis still true.

“The No. 1 need (from thestudy) was way-finding, specifi-cally the need for way-findingsigns andwhere are you going todirect people with the signs,”said Fitzgerald, the city councilrepresentative to the committee.

Chair of the Committee TimO’Grady said finding parking isnot the only problem. He addedthe nature of downtown Love-land has changed since the studywas done because of the successof restaurants and businesses.

CommitteememberGinaWil-liams, co-owner of Tano Bistro &Catering on West Loveland Ave-nue, said this is the first year shehas had customers complainabout not being able to find aplace to park.

Committee members RalphDunnigan, part owner of Pax-ton’s Grill, 126W. Loveland Ave.,and Catherine “K” Buckler,president of the Loveland StageCompany Board of Directors,said they have also had custom-ers recently tell them they can’tfind a space.

Members of the committee

agreed that residents or peoplewho are familiar with downtownLoveland know where to findspaces.

Committee member GreggHothem said the parking on EastBroadway Street is hardly everusedbecausemostpeoplearenotaware that it is there or want touse the parking onRailroadAve-nue, which is closer to the biketrail and Nisbet Park.

“Thewhipping boys of all thisare the cyclists because they docome in large groups. They docome on the nicest days and theystay a long time,” Fitzgeraldsaid.

Williams said it seems somany cyclists park in Lovelandto ride the Little Miami ScenicTrail because vehicles can stayfor long periods of time with nocharge.

cling groups to the nextmeeting and discuss theparking issue with them.

Interim City ManagerDave Duckworth saidthere is a two-yearwindowto find a solution for theparking problem before itbecomes a traffic problemafter River Trail Flats iscompleted and more peo-ple are coming into down-town Loveland.

Duckworth said short-term solutions, such asdedicating a specific lot tolong-term parking, would

“Idon’twant todiscour-age them, but I think thereneeds to be a happy medi-um,”Williams said, addingthe city could designate anarea for long-termparkingwith a fee.

Hothem suggested in-viting leaders of the cy-

help the problem, but along-termplan, such as de-veloping city-owned prop-erty into a parking lot,would be costly for thecity.

At its meeting nextmonth, the committeeplans to talk with cyclistgroups and come up withway-finding ideas.

“We got a good problemto have but it really needsus to up the ante on thisway-finding,” Fitzgeraldsaid.

nerswithUnionTownshipon four joint economic-development districts —which operate differentlyfrom joint economic-de-velopment zones – andWright said they are ex-pected to net a total of$90,000 for the city in2014.

“Since joint economic-development zones arebroader areas than jointeconomic-developmentdistricts, the joint eco-nomic-development zonearea could be all of thecommercial areas ofSymmes Township,”Wright said.

Elliff said Milford is agood choice for a jointeconomic-developmentzone because of the two’ssimilarities.

“Therearea lotofcom-monalities in the commu-nities and they are closeby. They have a lot of ex-perience with (joint eco-nomic-development dis-tricts) and are in severalnow. We see it as a goodfit,” Elliff said.

A hard winter result-ed inmost schools in thearea exceeding the fivealloted calamity daysgiven to schools eachyear.

On March 26, OhioGov. John Kasichsigned into law Amend-edSubstituteHouseBill416, which requires theOhio Department ofEducation towaiveup tofour additional days aschool is closed due to apublic calamity, such ashazardous weather con-ditions, for the 2013-2014 school year.

This applies to aschool district, STEMschool, or charterednonpublic school, aslong as the district orschool has invoked itscontingency plan tomake up five unwaivedcalamity days. That willhelp districts withmorethan 10 days off, butdoesn’t help most

schools in SouthwestOhio. They have tomake up five unwaivedcalamity days beforethe additional days giv-en by legislators can beused.

Local schools havetheir plans in place.

Cincinnati HillsChristian Academy

Cincinnati HillsChristian Academyused seven calamitydays this year, Market-ing and CommunicationDirector Jennifer Mur-phy said in an email.

The schools aregoingtomakeup the twoextradays Friday, April 18,and Monday, April 21,which would have beenpart of Easter Break,Murphy said.

Loveland CitySchools

The Loveland CitySchools will have tomake up two calamitydays June 9 and 10.

The district used

eight calamity days thisyear. Loveland Interme-diate School and Love-landMiddle School usednine days because of abomb threat at theschools in November.Superintendent ChadHilliker decided thatthe schools will have ablizzard bag day April18, when the district isclosed, so all Lovelandstudents end on thesame day.

“It is would havebeen a day when par-ents could have somekids in and some kidsout. It was just an easierway to manage it,” hesaid.

Hilliker said the dis-trict could have used ablizzard bag to make upthe days instead of hav-ing class June 9 and 10,but decided against. Hesaid it was better tohave students in theclassroom for the twodays.

Seniors, who willhave their graduation

June 7, will not have tomake up the extra days.Their last day of classwill be June 6.

Moeller High SchoolAccording toMoeller

High School Director ofMarketing and Commu-nications JohannaKremer, the school hasno calamity days tomake up.

Mount Notre DameHigh School

Mount Notre DameHigh School in Readingis using a “DigitalMake-Up Day Plan.“

By applying and re-ceiving approval overthe summer, MND is al-lowed to use digitalmethods for schoolwork for not more thanthree unexcused calam-ity days in excess of thefive allowable and ex-cused calamity days.

OnceMNDcalls for asnow/calamity day,MNDteacherspost aca-lamity day lesson on

Edline, the schools on-line course manage-ment system. Per statelaw, students will begiven a two-week win-dow to complete the les-son and submit the re-quired assignment tothe teacher.The submit-ted work will receive agrade in the same man-ner as other grading forthe course.

Students who do notcomplete the assign-ment by the requireddue datewill earn a zerofor the assignment. Inaddition, students whodo not complete the as-signment will bemarked as absent fromthe class for the snowday.

St. Xavier HighSchool

Becky Schulte, direc-tor of communicationsandmarketing, said stu-dents have no time tomake up, thanks to acombination of goodtiming and online class

opportunities. “Twodays were alreadyscheduledoffdays,” shesaid. “And we were ableto do online class, so stu-dents have no days tomake up at this time.”

St. Xavier launched aprogram that requiresstudents to have iPadsbeginning with thisyear’s freshman class.

Ursuline AcademyUrsuline Academy

used nine calamity daysthis year, Director ofCommunications SallyNeidhard said.

The school was ableto plan ahead and usedtwo blizzard bags. Theother two days havebeen or will be made upwith online learningdaysMarch28andApril28, Neidhard said. Theschool wasscheduled tobe off both days for anin-service day and pro-fessional developmentday, respectively.

really well for them to beable to complete the fieldsand make them safe, makea better baseball complexfor Symmes Township,”Behrens added.

The improvement willadd outfield and sidelinefencing, foul ball netting,dugouts, warm-up hittingareas, pitchingmounds andbleachers, Anderson said.

Behrens said the funds

have come from theleagues’ crowd-fundingwebsiteanddonationsfromparents and local business-es.

“Every single businessis doing something too,rather they are buildingmounds or doing fencing orputting in bleachers, what-ever it is they have givensome kind of donation forthis,” Behrens said.

Behrens said thereweresafety concerns at the parkand the organization’s goalis toprovidethenicestcom-plex for the 1,100 childrenthat play in LovelandYouthDiamond Sports each sea-

son.But, the leagues efforts

LauraHoltkamp loves natureand teaching students. Thisyear the Loveland Interme-

diate School fifth-grade scienceteacher found a unique way tobring the outdoors inside theclassroom: Ecocolumns.

“This is all a part of our studyof ecosystems,” Holtkamp said.“Weusetwo-literbottles tobuildaterrestrial ecosystem as well asan aquatic ecosystem. The twoecosystems are combined into acolumn to showhowwater fromaterrestrial ecosystem moves intoaquatic ecosystems.

“The students spend timelearning about the biotic andabiotic factors of each ecosystemas well as cycles and processesthat are taking place.”

Processes like thewatercycle,the carbon dioxide and oxygencycle, photosynthesis and theflowofenergy throughanecosys-tem. In addition, the students arealso learning how to make scien-tific observations, and have inte-

grated a photo journaling projectinto the lesson.

“We hope to compile an obser-vation journal with both photosand written observations,” Holt-kamp said. “The student groupshave each created their own eco-column that now has live plants,fish, crickets and worms. I havecreated an ecocolumn for eachclass to observe that has no livinganimals and will demonstrate theeffects of common pollutantssuch as acid rain, road salt andfertilizers on the plants, soil, andwater.

“As a child, I was often in thewoods, hiking, rock climbing andexploring. My parents instilledthis love of nature in me and thisunit isawonderfulwaytopassmyown love of the natural world onto my students. It allows all kidsto experience nature in the class-room, especially when they can’tgetoutsideordon’thaveaplace toexplore.”Loveland Intermediate School students Lexi Holtman, Tash Beck-Meyers, Patricia Garney and Danny Dunlop

Recovering from a footballinjury this season is juniorNateSlagel, who was part of thefirst-team ECC 4x100 relay anda second team long jumper as asophomore. Even without him,the Tigers are strong.

“We have good sprinterdepth again this year and ourfield events are strong,” Vanat-sky said. “We have a much im-proveddistanceandmiddledis-tance group, but still no seniordistance athletes.”

In his third year coachingthe Loveland girls is HerbLaughman.

TheLadyTigerswere fourthin the ECC and return firstteam long jumper Jessie Blum-berg, now a junior. Also back isseniorhigh jumperGusteRubi-kate, who made second teamand sophomore Jilian Fergu-son, a third teampick in the 400meters.

Megan Suder, Lena Koenigand Mackenzie Johnson areothers expected to contribute.

“I love the mix of seniorleadership and young talent,”Laughman said. “We finallyhave some depth and the girlsare working extremely hard.All of the girls deserve greatsuccess for the work and timethey have put in.”

Both Loveland teams are atthe Coaches Classic meet atWinton Woods April 9 and 11.

track and field efforts this sea-son is Jason Crockett. Crocketthas been Moeller’s jump coachin recent years.

Senior Isaiah Gentry hopesto back to Greater CatholicLeague-South first-team form

in the 400 meters, but was bat-tling injury early in the spring.Gentry is a Minnesota footballcommit.

“He’s waiting to be clearedby the doctor,” Crockett said.

Leading Moeller’s sprint ef-forts is Chase Pankey in the100and 200 meters, Michael Wil-kinson in the 200 and 400 and areturning Crusader.

“Mitch Gentile was hurt alllast year, but I think he’s goingto bring a lot to the team thisyear,” Crockett said. “He’s go-ing to be a 200 and 400 type ofguy.”

All events have taken a hit atMoeller as many fresh facessurround Crockett at practice.

“Two-thirds of my team arefreshmen and sophomores,” hesaid. “Trying to get times onthese young guys have beenrough.”

Assisting theyouth in throw-ing events will be a familiarname. Former Bengal BrianMilne isa friendof theprogramwho has volunteered his ser-vices.

Distance events should beled by junior Mitch Poch andsophomoreMatthew Dewine.

Moellerwill next compete atthe Coaches Classic at WintonWoods April 9 and April 11.

Morgan Collins, Kristi Dun-can, Sophie Sikora, ChaseBauer, Carley Kline and Mad-dieGentile are also expected tobe key contributors. Bauer,Kline, Sikora and Collins joinLuckhaupt with valuable relayexperience.

“We are very young andhave grown more knowledge-able about track and field,”Sickles said. “We only have twoseniors.”

MND is on the road at Louis-

villeMaleApril12, then back intown with Colerain April 15.

Cincinnati Hills ChristianAcademy

» The Eagle boys are smallin numberwith just 14 athletes,but head coach Julie Dietrichthinks they should be competi-tive intheMiamiValleyConfer-ence and beyond.

“We are a mixed bag,” shesaid. “We have some talent inseveral events. We might beyoung, butwehavesomeprettygood athletes who can fill a lotof spots. Where we end up onthat final podium is hard to say,

but they’re like sponges soak-ing thingsupandworkinghard.They’re a very versatile teambecause they don’t have anypreconceived notions of whatevents they should be doing.”

SeniorsMattOverstreet is inhis second year of sprinting,while classmate Alex Stevenswas a regional qualifier in thepole vault last season andshould clear 12 feet this year.

Sophomore Prince Sam-mons returns for his secondseason in the shot put and dis-cus. A pair of freshmen - Adam

PRESS PREPS HIGHLIGHTS

Baker and Ben Collado -should help in the jumpsand sprints.

Dietrich has 16 girlsout for track and field, anadmittedly small number,but one twice the size oflast year’s team.

Only two team mem-bers ran last season.Sophomore LaneDowneyis approaching the schoolrecord in the 400 metersand could go under amin-ute in that event beforeshe graduates. JuniorCynthiaAguilar rancrosscountry in thefallandwillcompete in the mile andmiddle distances.

Senior Marissa Koobjoined the team for thefirst time following out-standing volleyball andbasketball seasons; she’sslotted into the throwsand will run some relays.

“I’m looking forward

to the future ofmy girls,”Dietrich said. “They’regoing to be special. Mostof my speed is in myfreshman class. They aregoing to keep learningand growing and gettingbetter.”

Ursuline Academy» The Lions have 32

athletesout this spring,17of them returning. WhileheadcoachMeganMcAu-leysaid thenumbersarealittle down, she likes thelook of her team.

“In my first three sea-sons,wewerethird(in theGirls Greater CatholicLeague) last yearandsec-ond the two before that,”she said. “We might nothave as many girls, butwe’re a little deeper allaround. We have a lot ofoptions and I thinkwecanreally go for the league ti-tle this year.”

Senior Christine Fred-erick leads a strong dis-tance group that also in-cludes juniors GraceKel-

ly, Chatherine Finke, Mi-randa Grigas and ColleenJohnston. Frederick, Kel-ly Grigas and Johnstonqualified for the statemeet in the 4x800 relaylast season.

Senior Cayla Carey, atransfer from Princeton,will be one of the topsprinters for Ursulineand is already long jump-ing at 18 feet.

Junior Christina Hall-mann anchors the throw-ers in shot put and discus,while sophomore Court-neyRuehlmann should beone of the Lions best hur-dlers.

A publication of

April 20-26 is observed asEarth Week around the world.Today I will reflect about whatit means to me.

In October 2005, about 20Clermont high school studentspiled into a room in the mod-ulars at Milford High for thefirst meeting of the Leaders’Environmental Actions Foun-dation, or LEAF.

Over the next five years,the program flourished as anon-hierarchal compact thatstringently promoted environ-mental integrity among all ofClermont’s students. The or-ganization functioned throughcommissioned acts which wereplanned by each of its mem-bers.

LEAFWarriors, as we werecalled, organized the recycling

audit and dis-posal programfor paper andplastic; imple-mented pan-campus clean-ups each falland spring;successfullylobbiedschools toplace veganmeal options incafeterias;

advocated for Meatless Mon-days at all schools; convened aWinter Solstice Workshop;visited elder care residents atClermont County Nursing

Home in winter; initiated theStudent Body Archive as anact; facilitated a yearlongclothing drive; picketed cars toturn off their engines at schooldismissals; unwelcomed andprotested a demeaning, crude,and overall exploitative circus;hosted two community conven-tions in 2007 and 2008; andpartnered with the CincinnatiNature Center.

Then, Young LEAF blos-somed at the Milford JuniorHigh School.

Even today, Clermont’syouth are asking ClermontCounty Fair officials to installthe positions of Vegan Queenand Vegan King on the fair’sroyalty court in 2014 - what an

awesome, exciting and appro-priate endeavor which every-one should support whole-heartedly.

Today the environment isbeing jeopardized by skepticalconjectures and apathy. Cler-mont County, the cities of Mil-ford and Loveland, and sur-rounding townships have takena proactive stance to combatthis apathy and commence alarge-scale recycling initiative.

Volunteers are petitioningthe EPA for action to removethe thousands of tons of toxicwaste stagnating at Cecos,when the county’s “more directcommunication” has not ar-rived.

Residents have access to a

myriad of community gardenprojects that facilitate col-lective produce.

Many of Clermont’s finestcitizens are also joining effortsfor full global nuclear dis-armament, eradication of allradioactive materialization,and securing a tough globalclimate treaty to cease anthro-pogenic climate change for usand future generations.

I hope that higher energystandards, conservation tech-niques, replanting, animalfreedom and more educationand programming also come tothis area.

cally and nationally to makebaseball’s Opening Day an offi-cialholiday.Doyouthink this isagood idea?Why or why not?

“As the Reds are the oldestprofessional baseball organiza-tion in American history, goingback to 1869, if this were to offi-cially happen Cincinnati wouldbe a good place to try it out as alocal holiday. Whether or notyou’re a baseball fan you have toadmit that.”

TRog

“I think this is a very goodidea. Baseball is king in this cityand we take this day every yearto honor that.”

Terry Garvin

“Things are just fine here inCincinnati on Opening Day. Ifothers wish to do the same thingthey should be able to do it with-out bringing in the local or na-tional governments.”

R.V.

“Why not? Since a great dealofpeople takeoffworkforOpen-ing Day on any professionalbaseball team, and watch theirparades,might not be a bad idea.I think Cincinnati should be thefirst selected for this since theyhad the first professional base-ball team!”

OHR

“I’m not really sure if othercities celebrate Opening Day inthe same fashion as Cincinnati.There is a lot of activity that isexhibited on Opening Day fromearlymorning and till late in theevening. Iknowthestadiumonlyseats approximately 40,000, butmany many more take off workthatday, due to sicknessorwhat-

ever, and boost our economy byfrequenting a local establish-ment somewhere to watch onTV. I also understand that Open-ingDaycauses someof thehigh-est absenteeism within ourschool systems, and possibly thelowest production within mostcompanies. Did you ever try toget anything donewith a local orcountyofficeon thisday? Iknowwhen I was working, we alwayshad a TV and refreshments forour customers in the lobby andhad the employees dress in theirRedsgarb.This is adayofenjoy-ment and socializing amongstthousands of people, and if wecan’t do this just for one day,maybewe should just keep on asis and continue to play hooky.”

D.J.

“Yes.Let’shavesomefunout-doorsafter thewinterdulls.Thisshould not be a bargaining chipin business but a national day tomisswork or schoolwith no pen-alty at either. Less we forget ithas been labeled the nationalpastime. Boys and girls startplaying at very young ages,moms and dads cheer in thebleachersrings insmall towns tolarge cities, sand lots. So, let’splay ball.”

‘You have the plant I’m searching for!” The comments by customers who order our plants via mail-order, and by gardeners who visit the nursery. We are proud of the fact

that many of our customers come from all over the U.S. because wecan supply the plants they have on their wish lists. They tour Mary’s55 year old mature gardens that showcase the unusual trees,shrubs, roses, herbs, perennials and wildflowers. See collectionsof trillium, boxwood, magnolias, daylilies, iris, peonies and the listgoes on. She has collected those plants, that many gardeners only

read about, but are shocked to see: the new weeping white bloomingredbud Cercis c.’Vanilla Twist’, the variegated weeping variety Cercis c.

‘Whitewater’, variegated Nyssa s. ‘Sheri’s Cloud’ and more. Our native plantlist is extensive with many hard to find varieties available. We do not grow our plants in greenhousesand do not use soilless mixes for potting. Our plants are field grown and potted in Ohio soil, so thattheir hardy root systems are ready for the transplant to your garden.We provide a full landscape consultation, design and installation service to fit any gardener’s needs.Our designs use “The right plant for the location”. Not just what looks good today, but what willbe hardy and remain attractive. Not overgrown in 10 years, ready to be replaced or creating amaintenance nightmare to keep in check.

Imay be jinxing my-self, but I think we’vefinally transitioned

into spring. The last fewdays have convinced me,and in our little patch ofwoods, I’m seeing trueharbingers: watercress inour spring fed pool andtrilliums, bloodroot,anemones and springbeauties all poking upthrough the leaves. Thedandelions and wild on-ions are all over the place.Both nutritious wild ed-ibles.

Meanwhile, we’regearing up for Easter.One of my favorite yeastbuns to make is hot crossbuns. Now these aren’textremely sweet, like asweet roll (they’re a bun,remember), but justsweet enough to reallyenjoy with a cup of tea orglass of milk.

Legend has it that ifyou make yeasted hotcross buns for Good Fri-day and hang one up inthe kitchen, you’ll havesuccess with anythingyou make with yeast allyear ‘round. That won’t behappening at my house!Let the kids help Grand-daughter Eva loved mak-ing the cross decoration.You can also simply usethe icing as a glaze overthe whole bun.

Buns1 pkg. (1/4 oz.) active

dry yeast, regular orrapid rise

1 table-spoon plus1/2 cupsugar,divided

1 cupwarmmilk(110° -115°)

1/4 cupsoftenedbutter

Coupledashes salt

1/2 to 1 cup raisins1 large egg, room tem-

perature3-1/2 to 3-3/4 cups all-

purpose flourPreheat oven to 375. In

mixer bowl, dissolveyeast and 1 tablespoonsugar in warmmilk. Letstand for 5 minutes. Itwill foam up. Add butter,raisins, egg, salt and re-maining sugar; beat untilsmooth.

On low speed, pour inenough flour to form softdough - I used 3-1/2 cups.Turn onto very lightlyfloured surface (not toomuch flour or buns willbe tough); knead untilsmooth like a baby’s bot-tom, about 5 minutes. Iused the dough hook soavoided hand kneadingand extra flour.

Place in sprayed orbuttered bowl, turningonce to coat top. Blessdough! Cover and let risein warm place until dou-bled, 1 hour or more. Sticka finger in gently, if in-dentation remains, you’regood to go; if it springs

back, it needs to raisemore.

Punch dough down.Divide into 12 portions.Shape into balls.

Place in sprayed orbuttered 13x9 pan. Coverand let rise until doubled,about 45 minutes.

Bake 25-30 minutes oruntil golden. Mine weredone at 25 minutes.

IcingWhisk together:2 cups confectioner’s

sugar1 tablespoon vanilla4 tablespoons water or

more if needed. Make across shape on each bun.

Tip from Rita’skitchen:

Raising in frig: As anexperiment, I divideddough in half and let halfraise at room temper-ature and half in frig,covered, overnight. Thedough from the frig tooklonger to raise, but bothbatches came out great.

Hawaiian roll clone

Leave out raisins andicing and you have a rollthat, to me, tastes likestore-bought Hawaiianrolls. The crust is not assoft, but the sweet flavoris there!

Yeast basicsBack in the old days

yeast came in the form ofmoist little cakes and hadto be refrigerated. Nowwe can buy dry yeast inthe store. It comes inmany forms, from reg-ular yeast to rapid rise tobread machine yeast. Alleasy to use!

Is it fresh?Tomake sure your

yeast can still leaven, adda little to some warmwater with a pinch ofsugar. It should foam upwithin minutes. If not,toss it. Yeast kept infreezer stays fresh long-er.

Can you help?

Yeasty flavor inbreads: Lois B. has afriend who wants to knowhow to make the flavor ofyeast more prominent inher baked goods. Usingregular, not rapid risemay help. Any sugges-tions from bakers in ourCommunity circle offriends?

Tender Years coop-erative preschool ofLoveland held its annu-al fundraiser banquetat the Oasis Golf &Conference Center.

This year was slight-ly different as schoolleaders, families,friends and sponsorsused the occasion torecognize Debbie Mur-ray for her 25 years asa preschool teacherthere. During openingremarks to a packedbanquet hall audience,Tender Years FirstVice President JamieSmith cited Murray forher work preparingkids for education and

life. Following long andloud applause, Smithran through a litany ofMurray’s glowing ac-complishments.

“Debbie is my men-tor,” said Natasha Pe-ters, who is in her sec-ond year teaching 3-year-old preschoolersthere. “She is TenderYears. When you thinkof Tender Years, youthink of Debbie Mur-ray.”

Peters said theyconnected right fromthe start when Murrayencouraged her to ap-ply for the job to teachat Tender Years. Mur-ray makes everyonefeel that connection. Itis a kind of family bondthat defines the school.

“You think of family,you think of closeness;a bond,” Peters said.“The way she (Murray)

teaches, the kind ofperson she is, and theway she is with chil-dren, that’s what youthink of. When she’sthere with the children,she’s the example ofwhat Tender Years is;kindness, loving, won-derful and patient.”

It is also a coopera-tive where the parentscome in and work withthe teacher. The schoolhas a board made up ofparents, is run by par-ents, and they worktogether. That close-ness and family bondPeters spoke of wasevident among themore than 150 people atthe banquet. Their gen-erosity and active sup-port of the preschoolhelped raise close to$10,000 during thefundraiser event thisyear.

“I’m so proud ofthem,” said Kay Bach-mann, who is a parentand past president ofTender Years. “Theydid a great job. Con-gratulations to them.Tender Years was myfirst extended familywhen we moved here toLoveland.”

Bachmann helpedlead several successfulfundraisers for theschool in the past. Shealso worked with Mur-ray to encourage Pe-ters to become a teach-er at the preschool. Allfour of her childrenwent through preschoolthere. They all hadMurray.

“This is where mychildren started,”Bachmann said. “Thisis a great introductioninto family for my chil-dren.”

Murray started atTender Years when shemoved to Loveland. Sheloved the idea of par-ents being able to workwith the children. As aparent, she workedwith her daughter’sclass for two years.Then she joined theboard for the school.When the opportunityto teach there came up,she tried it as a way toget back into the teach-ing system.

“I loved it and I’vebeen there ever since,”Murray said.

Everyday she has aparent helper in herclassroom. They arethe parent of one of thechildren in her class.Natasha Peters was oneof those parent helpers.She said it helped herto be a better parent.Now she teaches the

three year-old class. Itis rare to find a pre-school teacher whostayed 25 years, butMurray has and she’snot done yet.

“I just love the kids,”Murray said. “It’s just afun age to have. Younever know whatthey’re going to say. Ijust love starting kidson a good foot to learn-ing in school.”

“Your future is stuck in your past,”Monahan said. “Your emotions drive be-havior. We can’t change the past, but wecan learn from it and use it to make ourfutures. Life is an accumulation of a lotof little decisions, so we are only one de-cision away from making a lot of greatdecisions and a better future for our-selves.”

Monahan, formerCEOanddirectorat

Life Success Seminars in West ChesterTownship, spoke at the event sponsoredby Kehoe Financial Advisors, a Cincin-nati financial planning services and in-vestment firm.AcopyofMonahan’snewbook,“YourFuture isStuck inYourPast”was given to each of thewomen in atten-dance. The book is available on Amazon-.com.

Monahan told the group he flunkedthe third-grade and had an alcoholic fa-ther, experiences that shapedhis lifeandcaused him to undervalue his strengthsand talents as an adult. A pipefitter untilthe age of 40, he took a Life Successcourse that openedhis eyes and changedhis life and career. He realized that theonly way to move forward in life was tomakegooddecisions everyday.Theonlyway to free yourself to make good deci-sionswas to learn from thepast, not let itdefine you.
