The program will provide $150 million a year for road im- provements throughout the state. If it is renewed May 6 it will provide $175 million per year for the first five years and $200 for the next five, Hubbard said. “It is going to provide more funds and it will not raise your taxes,” he said. Hubbard said the state bud- get had already made accom- modations to fund the program, which will help keep jobs in the Southwest Ohio. “It is critical that we main- tain infrastructure, maintain- ing infrastructure helps keep the jobs here. If we can improve infrastructure we can grow jobs,” he said. Loveland City Council is showing its support for a pro- gram that has put $8 million into improving Loveland-Madeira Road. Council passed a resolution at its April 8 meeting in support of State Issue 1, which will fund the State Capital Improvement fund that goes toward maintain- ing roads and bridges. The issue will be on the ballot May 6. Hamilton County Engineer Ted Hubbard spoke to council about the importance of the pro- gram. “It has made it possible to do a number of projects I know would not have happened other- wise,” Hubbard said. He said locally the program has funded numerous improve- ments to Love- land-Madeira Road, such as paving and wid- ening and build- ing bridges and retaining walls. Hubbard said the program is administered lo- cally through the Ohio Public Works Commission and can be much faster than ones that go through state pro- grams. “Through the local process it could take three years. Some projects I know of can take three decades to get through the environmental process (of the state regulations),” Hubbard Council approved the resolu- tion support the issue by a 6-0 vote.

MARIKA LEE/ THE COMMUNITY PRESS Hubbard Loveland City Schools could be improving programming and rising above the status quo if voters support a levy May 6.

The changes could lead to a makeover of the area, bringing jobs and economic develop- ment. But that could take years to come to fruition, and zoning commission members don’t agree on how to get started. “We need to build some criti- cal mass and have concentra- tions of population or employ- ment that will create the need for and demand for services and opportunities that build a community and bring in cash,” said Lou Ethridge, director of community development, at a recent zoning commission meeting. In order to attract compa- nies with jobs, the township first must attract “young, up- wardly mobile” professionals, according to Chris Smith, an economic development con- sultant for Clermont County. That means changes to allow high-density apartments, Eth- ridge said. Menelaos Triantafillou, an associate professor of planning at the University of Cincinnati, told commission members the vacant lot near Old state Route 28 where Kmart used to be would be a good fit for this type of housing, but the township’s zoning code forbids it. “I don’t care if you have beautiful houses and subdivi- sions, what people see is (state Route) 28 – you get that impres- sion,” Triantafillou said. Triantafillou developed new zoning regulations specifically for developer Joe Farruggia and partners, who bought the vacant Kmart property near Montclair Boulevard with the concept of building high-end apartments. John Rademacher, an alter- native zoning commission member, said the over-arching concepts and ideas discussed weren’t relevant because the zoning regulations only men- tioned apartments. It didn’t in- clude other commercial or mixed use and seemed to bene- fit Farruggia — not the town- ship, he said. “A lot of people moved out here ... because they don’t want high density. That’s why they don’t live in Union Township or Mason,” said Ed McPhillips, zoning commission member. Township Administrator Larry Fronk said other devel- opers are interested in similar high-density projects. More than 40,000 residents live in Miami Township, but they’re spread out in subdivisions across the township. That’s why officials are considering new zoning regulations that would allow high-density apartments near the state Route 28 corridor, shown here. Higher clusters of population can be a driving force in economic development, officials say.

Loveland’s GreatAmerican Cleanup daywill be Saturday, April 26,starting at 9 a.m. at the

All mem-bersof thecommunityarewelcomed and encour-aged to volunteer theirtime to help clean up ourcommunity. Supplies,drinks, and T-shirts areprovided.Members of theLoveland Tree and Envi-ronment Committee willbeorganizingthecleanup.
Loveland’s Tree andEnvironment Committeehas participated in theGreat American Cleanupfor many years. “Love-land is renowned for theScenic River, bike trail,and many nature pre-serves and parks. I hopefor a great turnout to helpkeep these natural assetsclean and attractive,”Committee Chairman Ga-ry Benesh said.
LittleMiami Inc. is a lo-cal river conservation or-ganization dedicated tothe protection of Ohio’sfirst designated State andNational Wild & ScenicRiver that runs throughdowntown. The Little Mi-ami Riverwas designatedas such in 1969. LMI firstjoinedwith theCity’sTreeand Environment Com-mittee for the cleanupevent in 2009.

Hesaid thedistrictwillalso be able to increasescience, technology, engi-neering and mathematicsprograms and improvecounseling and readingservices.
The district’s last levywas for 3.5 mills in 2011and the district knew itwould be a temporary fix.
“We really asked of theminimum at that point,
realizing that wewere go-ing to have to come backin a few years,” Hillikersaid, adding the used itscash reserve money andwas spending into its def-icit.
Treasurer Brett Grif-fith said the district dideverything it could tokeep the cost down forresidents in 2011.
“It was a decision tomake the last levy lowerand spend the cash bal-ance. We don’t have anytricks left. It’s levy time,”he said.
Griffith said the levy isslated to last four years,
but his goal is to stretch itto five.
If the levy were to fail,he said about $1 millionwould have to be cut fromthe budget for the nextschool year.
“We have wonderfulteachers that we want tomake sure we continue toemploy. If somethingwould happen and thelevy wouldn’t pass therewould be some staffingpositions we would haveto eliminate,” Hillikersaid.
Hlliker said he has re-ceived minimal opposi-tion to the levy and most
of the feedback has beenpositive.
“Our community hasalways been very suppor-tiveof theschools.Theex-citing thing for us is thatthere are a lot of peopleout there that are support-ing us andwhatweare go-ing to provide for our stu-dents and our communi-ty,” Hilliker said.

A Loveland Fire andEMS levy will be on theballot May 6 for the firsttime in eight years.
The 1.75-mill LovelandFire andEMS levy carriesa $61.25 increase in prop-erty tax for each $100,000of home valuation.
Loveland residentscurrently pay $242.60 per$100,000 of home marketvalue and the cost will in-crease to $303.85 if thelevy passes.
The levywill be used to
continuefireandEMSser-vices and address neces-
sary costsfor the firedistrict,such as re-placingequipment,LovelandFinance Di-rector TomVander-horst said
in an email.“To be clear, the pas-
sageof the levy is toessen-tially keep what we haveand it is not an attempt toexpand or enhance ser-vices,” he said.
The last time a Love-land fire levy on was theballot in 2006, Lovelandresidents passed two lev-ies that increased proper-ty taxes by $44.20 per for$100,000 of home marketvalue.
The last fire Lovelandlevy was expected to last
five years, but the citystretched it to eight years.Vanderhorst said the citywas able to do so by close-ly watching spending andthe firefighters agreeingto not have a wage in-crease for three years.
Vanderhorst said theamount is still lower thanwhat residents in Love-land’s peer cities, such asBlueAshandMilford,pay.
“LSFDhascontinued toprovide top-notch fire andEMS protection whilekeeping constant dollarcosts flat,” he said.
Symmes Township willnot be having a fire andEMS levy this year. Thetownship passed a five-year1-mill fire, police andEMSlevy in2010,SymmesTownship AdministratorBrian Elliff said.
If the Loveland levywere to fail, deciding howto pay for the city’s con-tract with the Loveland-
Symmes FireDepartmentwould fall to LovelandCity Council. Vanderhorstsaid there are no funds topay for it and the citywould in a deficit by 2016.
Vanderhorst said thelevy should last for abouteight years, but the citywill be looking forways tostretch it.
“The real key here is to
manage operating costs,like we have done histori-cally, and prolong the lifeof the levy as long as pos-sible,” he said.
Vanderhorst said heand Loveland SymmesFire Chief Otto Huberhave received positivefeedback, because resi-dents are aware of the lowcostof fireprotect thecitygets through sharing ser-vices with Symmes Town-ship.
“I think the residentsappreciate the level of fireand paramedic servicethey receive and under-stand the importance toallour residents for the mostbasic services,” Vander-horst said.

SYMMES TWP. — Somewhere,Nancy Reagan is happy.
Cincinnati Hills ChristianAcademy senior Cam Varga justsaid no to SevenHills batters, al-lowing zero hits while strikingout 13 Stingers in a 10-0 victoryApril 17.
For Varga, a University ofNorth Carolina recruit and Ma-jor League Baseball prospect, itwas his first no-no of the seasonafter throwing two last year.
“It definitely feels good, but Itry not to think about it,” Vargasaid. “I approach it the samewayevery game. I want to strike ev-erybody out. If somebody gets ahit, then I want to throw a one-hitter and on up the ladder likethat. It really is staying focusedon each individual pitch.”
Like pitcher, like coach.CHCA head coach Jeff Keithsaid he didn’t know a no-hitterwas in progress until itwas near-ly over.
“I’m so focused inning to in-ning, hitter to hitter, that I’m notreallywatching the scoreboard,”Keith said. “Hedidn’t seem loosein the first inning. There was an
error behind him and a man goton, but he battled back anddidn’tgive anything up.
“He got control in the secondinning and he was in the driver’sseat after that. Therewereacou-ple timeshewent to3-0onhittersand bounced back to strike themout. He was dominant, but that’sthe way he pitches.
“I told him good job, go enjoythe night, but be ready to comeback and do it again tomorrow.To me he’s a pitcher and he hadhis best game of the year so far.Congratulations on a job welldone, but that’s the thing aboutbaseball. There’s always anothergame tomorrow and you have towork just as hard for that one.”
Senior catcher Kyle Daviswent 2-for-3 with a double andhome run while junior rightfielder Ryan Smith was 2-for-4with a double and twoRBI.Morethan enough offense for Varga.
“It definitely takes stressaway from the pitchers (whenthrowing with a lead),” Vargasaid. “That’s thethingI likeaboutthis team.We’realwaysgoing,al-ways trying to add on runs. Iknow in the fourth or fifth orsixth inning we’re going as hardas we were in the first and that
makes me want to go out andkeep up my end.
“I love it. I feel like Icancounton everyone ofmy teammates atthe plate and in the field. I lovebeing part of that kind of team.”
Varga started playing base-ball at age4.Hecommitted to theUniversity of Florida as a short-stop following eighth grade. Butwhen his familymoved from theSunshine State to Cincinnati andhe began concentrating on pitch-ing insteadofplaying in thefield,UNCbecame a better college op-tion.
While theMajorLeagueBase-ball draft is a possibility comeJune, Varga said he wants tostudy business and entrepre-neurship in college. His favoriteclass right now is English and heenjoys writing.
Off the field and out of theclassroom, Varga likes to huntand fish. He’s hooked severaleight- and nine-pound bass andtakes annual trip with his dad togo after deer and wild turkey inMissouri.
Athletic genes run in the Var-ga family. Cam’s 15-year-old sis-ter, Kiersten, recently landed aspot on the U17 national beachvolleyball team.

LOVELAND — Though she’sseen a Division II footballchampionship and a statewres-tling title (Andrew Alten) onher watch, Loveland HighSchool athletic director JulieRenner is also smiling aboutthe Tigers’ boys volleyballteam.
Started as a club sport in herfirst tour of duty in Loveland,the boys squad now coached byTerri Swenson, is now fullyfunded by the school.
“We get buses, they’re pay-ing coaches’ wages and theboyspay the sameaseveryoth-er sport pays,” Swenson said.
Boys volleyball is still notrecognized by the Ohio HighSchoolAthleticAssociationandonly two Eastern CincinnatiConference schools field teams- Loveland andMilford.
As a result, the bus tripscome in handy as the Tigers of-ten tangle with schools in theGreaterMiamiConferenceandGreater Catholic League. Theresults have been mixed, butare on an upswing.
“We didn’t do so well lastyear,” Swensonsaid. “Thisyearwe’ve had some wins and ourlosses have been fairly close.”
Recent wins have beenagainst Princeton and Milford.With a fairly young group, thefifth-year coach is looking forevenbetterresultsnextseason.
“This year I’m overloadedwith juniors on JVandvarsity,”Swenson said. “I only havethree seniors, four sophomoresand one freshman.
She’s hopeful the talent pooland interest will grow for thespring sport that is neverrained out. Currently, the teamis stocked with soccer players,basketball players and kidswho spent fall andwinter in theshow choir.
From basketball, Swensonhas a few Tigers who havelogged winter court time dur-ing their careers in AustenFunke,KobyMcGillis andNao-ki Take. Most of the crossover-types are fall soccer players.
“Usually, that’s where wepull from junior and senioryear because the boys decide
they’re not going to play clubsoccer,” Swenson said.“They’re pretty good becausethey have the ability to jumpand they’re decent athletes.”
On the varsity, Funke andDrew Austin are volleyballnovices. The junior varsity is
almost full of newcomers to thesport.
With a few more wins andrain outs of outdoor sports,spikes in attendance and on thefloor could be on the rise.

KENWOOD — It’s allabout location for formerMoeller High School andUniversity of Cincinnatioffensive lineman DougRosfeld.
Coaching at his almamater, he’s helped directthe Crusaders’ offensiveline in football to back-to-back state championships.In rugby, the former cen-ter has guided Moeller tofour title games, winningone.
While he’s had “feelers”for head coaching jobselsewhere, the grass maynot be greener on the otherside. Particularlywhen thegrass on the other side ofthe Rosfeld fence isMoell-er High School property.
In one of themore ener-gy-saving real estatemoves of the century, Ros-feld recently bought ahouse for his family thatsits behind the school. In abrisk couple of minutes,he’s able to walk past thestatue of Gerry Faust onthe athletic fields to get toclass in the morning.
In the afternoons, hiscoach’s whistle can beheard at home as he runshis players through warm-ups.
“They may not be themost knowledgeable rug-by players but they’restrong, fit and lucky,” Ros-feld said.. “Sometimes be-ing tough and lucky isenough.”
The Moeller rugby sea-son began in early Marchwithacoupleof losses inan
Ohio vs. Indiana tourna-ment. After that, the Cru-saders reeled off threestraight wins, including a6-5 victory over power-house Cleveland St. Igna-tius. Nine of Moeller’sfirst-team Crusadersstarted their firstmatch inthe win.
After thumping St. Xa-vier 41-0 April 5, Moellerlost to Lakewood St. Ed-ward 17-10 on the road. Inlast year’s title game, theyalso lost to St. Edward,prompting some strategychanges.
“We went back to thedrawing board and in-stalled a new offense,”Rosfeld said. “We put to-gether a game plan morebased on speed thanstrength. We’re playing ona wider field now so we’re
trying to expand the gameand attack all parts.”
He describes his de-fense in football terms likedownhill, aggressive andfast. However, the men inshortsandstripesaren’tallgridiron greats.
“Less than ever,” Ros-feldsaid.“Outof75,maybe20 or 25.”
On his current squad,R.J. Bradley has commit-ted to play rugby at Fur-man, with Cody Mackeygoing to Kentucky andDean Meyer to WheelingJesuit.
Jared Jacon-Duffyfrom the football teamwould likely have beenMoeller’s best player, butbroke an ankle early in theseason. Others from foot-ball squad include Deanand JackMeyer and Jacob
Gall.Gall is the brother of
former Moeller linemanand current Miami Hurri-cane, Alex Gall. SeniorDeanMeyerplays offense,while his sophomorebrother, Jack, is a defen-sive starter.
Returning to the statechampionship is gettingtougher and tougher.
“We’re not down, butthe competition’s up,” Ros-feld said. “More schoolsare playing. St. X is loadedthis year. They have morekids in the program thanwe do. Beating St. Ignatiusgets us in the state tourna-ment, so we know we’rethere. Ed’s (St. Edward) isstill the team to beat andWesterville puts up a goodteam. We play them at theend of May.”

During the past severalweeks I have had an opportunityto talk with many of you aboutour upcoming levy.
It has been a wonderful op-portunity to engage the commu-nity and answer questions. Asyour superintendent, meetingnew people and hearing first-hand about their interest in ourschools confirms my belief thatour residents take great pride inwhat we do every day.
Loveland City School Districthas placed a 5.6-mill levy on theMay 6 ballot. The expectation isthat passage of this levy willallow our district to remain offof the ballot for a minimum fouryears. The 5.6-mill levy will costproperty owners $196 per
$100,000 ofappraised realestate. If suc-cessful, col-lection wouldbegin in Janu-ary 2015. Addi-tionally, per thecounty auditor,beginning in2016, taxpayerswill see a re-duction of ap-
proximately $48 per $100,000 ofappraised real estate value dueto the retirement of districtbonds.
The majority of this levy willbe used to maintain currentprograms and operations. Aportion of the levy request will
be used to strengthen technologyacross the district, expand K-12opportunities in science, technol-ogy, engineering and math, andimprove counseling and readingservices for our younger stu-dents.
The bar has been set higherfor our students and wemust doall we can to ensure their suc-cess in a very competitive world.As superintendent, I have toldour staff that we cannot be satis-fied with the status quo, butmust always examine what weneed to do better. As a communi-ty, you have provided excellentfeedback and input to make ourdistrict improve.
There are many things wecan be proud of about our dis-
trict… the fact that LovelandCity Schools has earned an Ex-cellent rating 12 straight yearsby the state. What an accom-plishment!
I tell people that last year ourseniors earned $12.8 million inscholarships. Way to go, gradu-ates!
I’m proud of the fact that werun our programs and servicesas financially efficient as pos-sible. I want to hear you tell usthat we are good financial stew-ards. On a per pupil spendingbasis, Loveland is below thestate average and one of thelowest of similar Excellent ratedarea districts.
Over the last three years thedistrict has saved more than $1.5
million through new initiativesand cost-saving measures. Thedistrict has consistently workedhard to reduce spending andachieve cost savings, withoutcompromising the quality ofeducation.
On Tuesday, May 6, your yesvote will continue the traditionof strong community support forour schools. As both a residentand superintendent of schools, itis gratifying to know that ourcommunity values and takesgreat pride in their schools.
It is my honor and privilegeto serve as the educational lead-er of this outstanding district.
Chad Hilliker is superintendent ofthe Loveland City School District.

April 16 questionEarth Day is April 22. What, if
anything, do you do to observeEarthDay?Doyoubelievethedayis more or less important than itwas when it began in 1970? Whyor why not?
“Iwill do absolutely nothingto observe Earth Day. I preferto worship the Creator, ratherthan created things.”
R.W.J.
“Technically, the Earth Dayis probably more than what itwas back then when it started,especiallywithall thecleanupsand treegiveaways thesedays.
“My son and I are planningon cleaning up the trash in thewoodsbehindouthouse. It getswashed down the hill, throughthe storm drain from our
street, right down into CloughCreek which flows right intothe Little Miami.”
TRog
“I don’t do anything special,as I celebrate it every day byrecycling, using cloth bags atstores, etc. Ihonor theenviron-ment every day, not just one
day per year.”C.H.
“Earth day? Probablyshould plant a tree. I love treesand we lost a couple last yearso it is time. As far as the im-portance and significanceplaced on Earth Day, I believeit has lessened over the years,which is a shame.
“In spite of all of the argu-ments batted back and forthconcerning global climatechange, one would hope thatwe would pay much more at-tention to our planet and whatwe are doing to it. Earth day isat least one day where weought to stop and say: ‘oops.’”
M. J. F.
“Whydowe celebrateEarthDay on April 22? Why do we
celebrate Christmas on the25th. And why do we celebrateEaster on that special Sunday.
“Being a senior citizen I cel-ebrate Earth Day every day asI gaze out the window in the
morning and as long as I seethe green side of the grass andnot the brown side I feel fine,lucky, and blessed.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Businesses in Symmes aredraining resources from resi-dents.
50 percent of police and EMSruns, 33 percent of fire runs and100 percent of fire inspectionsare “commercially related.” Thisis one justification by trustees tolevy a Joint Economic Devel-opment Zone tax on businessesand their employees. Greedybusinesses are not paying theirfair share. Why should home-owners support their use ofpublic services?
I don’t understand why thetownship’s website encouragesbusiness – highlighting Symmesas a shopping hub for Hamilton
andWarren.Symmes evenoffers tax in-centives tobusinesses thatinvest here. It’sshameful.Symmes isdoing little toprotect resi-dents from thisscourge. Com-panies must be
driven from the township, notmerely taxed, to assure publicfunds are spent on residentsonly.
An immediate zoning changeis in order – eliminating busi-
nesses. Residents should boycottbusinesses – so they know weresent their misuse of our taxmonies.
Wait a minute – don’t ownersof commercial real estate paytaxes? Yes – those taxes, likeresidential property taxes, payfor public services like parks,safety, and roads. Maybe they dopay their share. And there aremore reasons to encourage busi-ness development here.
A strong business communityequals strong commercial realestate. This in turn encourages astrong residential real estatemarket. Both provide propertytax income and give property
owners a positive return oninvestment. Blaming businessesfor using public resources is aploy to justify another tax tovoters. I’m not buying it.
Trustees have stated the JointEconomic Development Zone isa way to generate revenue with-out affecting residents, but any-thing that costs businesses willresult in higher prices for all ofus. As business owners areforced to increase wages toattract employees, their priceswill go up. As business ownersspend more time and moneyfiguring payroll, prices go up.
The final page of the JointEconomic Development Zone
proposal states funds will beused to offer tax incentives toencourage investment and jobcreation. How does it make anysense to tax businesses, and thenoffer tax incentives to busi-nesses? This shell gamemuststop.
Businesses are good. Theyprovide jobs. They offer goodsand services people need. Theypay real estate taxes, and em-ployees pay tax to the state andfederal government. Our econo-my is recovering. The last thingwe need is another tax.

Smiling faces and specialmoments captured by thelens of Loveland photog-
rapher Dianne Bomar areframed on walls, desks andtabletops in homes all aroundtown.
Bomar is best known for herportrait photography captur-ing precious family memories:graduations, birthdays, holi-days and so much more. Cre-ating the portrait of someoneat their best comes relativelyeasy. Creating an heirloomportrait for parents who havelost a baby is not so easy. Thevolunteer work she does forNow I LayMe Down to Sleepleaves a deeper impression onher.
“This was something so...notjust out of my comfort zone, Icouldn’t even see it on themap,” Bomar said.
The mission of Now I LayMe Down To Sleep is to pro-vide the free gift of profession-al portraiture to parents suf-fering the loss of a baby. It wasco-founded in April 2005 byCheryl Haggard and photog-rapher Sandy Puc after Hag-gard was inspired by the ten-der photographs Puc took ofher infant son Maddux, whodied at birth.
The idea itself is unnerving.A dear friend prompted thereluctant Bomar to get in-volved. She’d rather stay inback at a funeral service, notgo forward to view the de-ceased, and she doesn’t likegoing into hospitals. When herfriend Damon Fecitt, a profes-sional photographer, lost twinsduring a pregnancy, thingschanged.
“They lost one twin duringthe pregnancy and the second
was stillborn,” Bomar ex-plained. “As a professionalphotographer, he photo-graphed his own son. I can’teven wrap my brain aroundhow you do that.”
Fecitt’s persistent effort toget Bomar to volunteer withNow I LayMe Down to Sleepfinally paid off when she sawtheir table at a photographer’strade show two years ago. Sheremained reluctant and un-certain about her ability toprovide professional portraitservices to families facing thedeath of an infant. They be-lieve the quality photo imageshonor the child and serve animportant part in the healingprocess for the family.
“I walked past the sign-uptable,” she said. “Finally, Istepped over to it and I said: ‘Idon’t know if I can do this, butI think I need to try.’ So Isigned up.”
Still unsure, Bomar knewshe would do everything shecould to be a Now I LayMeDown To Sleep photographer.Four months later she wasapproved. “In a perfect world,”she expected to “shadow” anexperienced volunteer beforea session on her own. Bomarended up with a scheduledsession her very first day. LisaHezlep, a four-year veteranvolunteer with Now I LayMeDown to Sleep, remembersthat first day.
“She was abruptly thrustinto it,” Hezlep said.
The first session for Bomarwas “scheduled” meaning theparents knew the baby was notgoing to live and had scheduledthe delivery date and portraitservices. There are also “emer-gency needs” sessions when achild passes away at birthunexpectedly. Waiting for thescheduled session, a nurse
found her and told her anotherfamily needed her services.
“Same day, two session, twohours apart,” Bomar recalled.“The second family I ended upserving first, and the firstfamily ended up second.”
“Dianne has incredible pas-sion for this organization,” saidMarcyMurphy, a volunteerassistant from Loveland. “Shejumped in 100-percent, therewas no holding back. She madeherself available in such anintense way. The organizationis incredibly lucky to haveDianne as a volunteer.”
Bomar is dedicated, gets toany session she can, and makesit a priority to get the imagescompleted and back to thefamily. Murphy admires thecompassion and professional-ism she shows the families whohave just lost a baby and are ina most sad and vulnerablecondition.
“She’s been a great rolemodel,” said Murphy, soon tobe a photographer with theprogram. “I hope that I willhave as much finesse in thesituation as she has. She’sgood. I admire her work. She’sfantastic.”
A single mother, all aloneand afraid to even see herbaby, experienced that com-passion. After shooting photos
of the baby, Bomar told herhow beautiful her baby was.No one had told her that. Thenshe was able to see her baby.After two years and more than20 sessions, just walking downthat hospital hall is still thehardest part for Bomar.
“Unless a nurse preppedyou, you have no idea whatyou’re walking into,” Bomarsaid.
There is no charge for thephoto session, or the finishedpackage of remembrance pho-tos. The families receive por-trait services from Bomar andthe other volunteers. Now ILayMe Down to Sleep esti-mates the value at $1,000 to$1,500. Lisa Hezlep said it’smore than the sessions at thehospital and the hours of fin-ishing work that follows. It isthe emotions.
“The grief is usually pal-pable when you walk into aroom,” said Murphy, who lost ababy herself in 2006. “Yourheart is simply breaking. Evenwith the sadness, I think it issafe to say we always leave theroom knowing our presencethere has been greatly appreci-ated.”
“It’s not like you just gohome and the rest of your dayis normal. You think about thatfamily the rest of the day,”
Hezlep said. “It stays with you.That’s when I break down.”
IncludingMarcyMurphy,who expects to be approvedsoon, the Cincinnati chapteronly has seven volunteer pho-tographers. Bomar is in herthird year as a volunteer. He-zlep is in her seventh year.They’re always recruitingmore professional photog-raphers to volunteer, andwould like to have 12 for Cin-cinnati. It is hard. Volunteersburn out. Why should a photog-rapher say yes? Why did Bo-mar say yes?
“What you are giving tothese families is priceless,”Hezlep said. “Very few peoplehave the ability to do it. It’s aneed out there. You are chang-ing the way families grieve.”
You have to be a skilledprofessional photographerwith a large dose of compas-sion.
“It’s such a gift to me toknow that something I’m pret-ty good at is something thatgives the family peace,” Bo-mar said. “I have no idea howthese families feel. I can onlybe hopeful and prayerful thatthese images provided to themwill give them peace.”

pare little-known facts abouttheir military careers, theirfavorite horses, their wivesand children, their confronta-tion with Indians, their pref-erences for food, liquor, andmusic, their slaves, theirdeaths and burial, and theirgreatest achievements.
Horwitz is the author ofthe Pulitzer Prize-nominatedbook, “The Longest Raid ofthe Civil War,” which is thefirst complete chronicle ofMorgan’s great raid of 1863.In Ohio alone, there are morethan 700 historic markers
showing the path the raiderstook through the Buckeyestate. The vast majority ofthese highway markers wereinstalled last year, 150 yearsafter Morgan’s Ohio Raid.
Autographed copies of“The Longest Raid” will beavailable at the museum.
As a bonus to attending thepresentation, visitors will seethe official Civil War Exhibitcreated by the Ohio Histori-cal Society. The exhibit willmake its home during themonth of May at the Love-landMuseum. The exhibitexplores Ohio’s participationin the war and focuses espe-cially on how the war impact-ed local communities.
On July 14, 1863, Morgan’sRaiders threatened Cincin-nati and derailed the trainbetween Loveland and CampDennison. Some of the raid-
ers heading for the LittleMiami River stopped at thefarm home of NathanielHumphrey and stole his twohorses. That is the home to-day of the author, Lester Hor-witz. The Loveland militiafought the raiders killing one.That Confederate soldier wasburied near Ward’s Corner.
The raiders stole horses andvaluables from 4,375 Ohioansand 2,201Hoosiers.
The LovelandMuseumHistory House is at 201Riv-erside Drive (45140). Admis-sion is free.
Donations are gratefullyaccepted.

I was out working inmy herb gardenyesterday when it
dawned on me howmuch I appreciate thehealing qualities ofcommon culinary herbsthat I grow and which Iuse when teachingclasses. In fact, I can’tthink of one culinaryherb that doesn’t do abody good.
When you know howhealthy an herb is foryou, you’ll tend to use itmore and appreciate itsqualities.
Right now our gar-den stores have anabundance of herbswith good prices, so Ihope this column en-courages you to grow,and use more herbs.And get the kids in-volved, too. You will beamazed at how adven-turous they becomewith eating when theygrow their own herbs.
» Dill: Used through-out the ages as a reme-dy for babies’ colic, it’sa calming herb for di-gestion, and helps pro-mote sleep, due to itscalcium content. Dillseed oil is antibacteri-al, and chewing a fewseeds after a mealhelps digestion andfreshens breath.
» Fennel: A cousin todill, fennel has a mildlicorice flavor. It helpsfreshen breath, aidsdigestion, balancesappetite and relievesgas. The bonus is theswallowtail butterflyloves fennel so if yousee a tiger-stripedgreen and black cater-pillar on fennel, let italone and you’ll be re-warded with a beauti-ful pollinator to yourgarden.
» Chamomile: Re-member when PeterRabbit’s mom gave himchamomile tea after hehopped home from Mr.McGregor’s garden?Chamomile makes anapple-scented tea thathelps calm the nervesand soothes digestion.
» Peppermint: Wheneach of us nine kids lefthome, we were allowed
sprigs ofMom’sheirloompepper-mint. Aninvasiveperennialherb,grow it ina contain-er if youdon’t have
room for it. Awesomefor colds and coughswith its high vitamin Ccontent, and also formuscle aches and ten-sion headaches. Plusit’s a great digestiveherb, as well.
» Thyme: Like anherbal medicine chest.Thyme’s volatile oil,thymol, has both anti-septic and antibacterialqualities. Thyme andsage tea relieves sorethroats. The best culi-nary thymes are thebushy/mounding ones,like French and Eng-lish. French, to mypalate, has a sweeter,less peppery flavor,than English.
» Rosemary: Thispiney tasting herb haslots of antioxidants andmay help prevent somecancers. It is good forthe memory, too.
» Basil: Potassiumand iron, along witharomatherapy qual-ities, makes this herbso good. With its clove/licorice like flavor,sweet green basil is themost common basil.

The Symmes Town-ship Republican Club ispromoting a women’sclothing drive.
The campaign bene-fits Dress For SuccessCincinnati – whose mis-sion is to empower lowincome women one suitat a time. Founders ofDress for Success dis-covered a catch-22 forwomen seeking to enteror re-enter the workforce. How can you find ajob when you don’t haveinterview clothing suchas a suit? How can youafford a suit when youdon’t have a job?
Partnering with anorganization like Dressfor Success on this pro-ject benefits the commu-nity for years to come.
“Hearing from aDress for Success clientwas an eye opener forme,” said Karen Diehl,club secretary. “It was atestimony of a life turn-ing from violence, crime,drug use and prostitution
to a life of self-respectand accomplishment.The sense of pride frombecoming self-support-ing and successful can-not be given to anyone –it has to be achieved.Dress for Success iscatalyst, giving womenthe opportunity tochange their lives andbreak the cycle of pover-ty for their families.”
Dress for SuccessCincinnati provides aninterview outfit to eachwomen – usually consist-ing of a suit and blousewith shoes and coor-dinating accessories likea handbag, belt, scarf andjewelry. After getting ajob, she can return tochoose ten items for amix and match wardrobeof up to ten outfits.
Dress for Success is inconstant need of gentlyused professional wom-en’s clothing. Accepteditems include suits,slacks and skirts, dress-es, blouses and accesso-
ries. The need is espe-cially high for handbags,shoes and sizes 16 & up.
Other clothing, suchas scrubs, sportswear,designer and formalwear are also acceptedand sold to the public atthe DFS 4th Street Bou-tique. Excess profession-al wear is also availablegiving program partici-pants a place to round outtheir wardrobes at af-fordable prices.
Clothing will be col-lected at the May 19 andJune 16 meetings of theSymmes Township Re-publican Club.
The club meets thethird Monday of themonth at 6:30 p.m. at theSymmes Safety Center,8871Weekly Lane. Itemsshould be clean, gentlyused, and on hangers orin bags.

percentCommunity recycling
rates are the tons recy-cled divided by the totalwaste generated (recy-cling plus landfill). Therecycling efforts inHamilton County:
» saved 331,265 treesfrom being harvested forpaper.
» conserved enoughenergy to power every
home in the city of BlueAsh for a year.
» reduced moregreenhouse gases than ifevery household in Ham-ilton County rode theirbicycles to work formore than a month.
Recycling reducespollution so the air iscleaner, conserves natu-ral resources for futureuse, and decreases theenergy needed to makenew products. The ef-forts residents put intorecycling are making adifference, but more canbe done. A recent wastecharacterization studyindicates 40 percent ofwhat Hamilton Countysends to the landfillcould be diverted byrecycling.
When gathering allthe acceptable recy-clables from your home,there is no need to sortitems or collect them in aplastic bag. Simply putyour recyclables intoyour bin/cart and take itout to your collectionspot. New in 2014, resi-dents may also recyclepaper cartons, such asorange juice and milkcontainers.
The following items
are accepted in curbsideand drop-off recyclingprograms:
» plastic bottles andjugs (lids are OK if lefton empty bottle);
» glass bottles andjars;
» aluminum and steelcans;
» empty aerosol cans(remove tips);
» newspapers, maga-zines, phone books andbrown paper grocerybags;
» junk mail, officepaper and envelopes;

Using the emergencyroom for non-emergen-cies increases healthcare costs for everyonein the Tristate and slowsthe response time fortrue medical emergen-cies. That is why theHealth Collaborative ispartnering with commu-nity healthcare leaders ina social media campaigncalled “Make the RightCall.”
An analysis of emer-gency room visits in theTristate area shows fourof the top five reasonsfor emergency depart-ment visits are condi-tions that are not usuallyemergencies, particular-ly if they are treatedearly by a primary carephysician.
They are: abdominalpain; urinary tract in-fection; headache andupper respiratory in-fection.
National studies show70 percent of ER visitscould be avoided. A re-cent study of emergencyroom visits for urinarytract infection foundthese cases alone added$4 billion in unnecessaryhealth care cost.
“Make the Right Call”was created to help peo-ple understand the differ-ence between a medicalemergency and non-emergency. When thereis doubt, the best way toavoid misusing the emer-gency room is to have astrong relationship witha primary care physi-cian.
“Make the Right Call”was created to help peo-ple understand the differ-ence between a medicalemergency and non-emergency. When thereis doubt, the best way toavoid misusing the emer-gency room is to have astrong relationship witha primary care physi-cian. The national aver-age cost of a visit to afamily doctor $145 com-pared to emergencyroom charges averaging$1,316. Furthermore,your family doctor willbe there to see youthrough diagnosis and
treatment, while theemergency physicianwill expect you to getyour follow up care else-where.
“As a family physi-cian, we want our pa-tients to call us early,when symptoms firstdevelop, so we can assessand treat them before thepain becomes acute orfrightening,” says Dr.Barb Tobias, medicaldirector for the HealthCollaborative. “Evenwhen it is after hours, acall to your doctor canoften result in the adviceyou need to make theright call, and often theright call is to stay ascomfortable as possibleuntil the doctor can seeyou in the office.”
Silverton residentAmber Twitty learnedthe importance of thisprimary care relation-ship.
“One of my daughtersgot sick, and we didn’t doanything for a couple ofdays,” she said. “Thenher complaining gotworse. It was that time ofday that I didn’t think wewere going to be able toget in to see the doctor sowe went to the Emergen-cy Department eventhough I knew it wasn’t atrue emergency,” Twittysaid. “As it turned out,she had strep throat thatcould have easily beentaken care of with a pre-scription from our familydoctor.”
Your doctor knowsyou, your medical histo-ry, your medications, andmore. Emergency roomphysicians do not have anongoing relationship withtheir patients, meaningthe burden is on you totell themwhat they needto know to treat you cor-rectly. Further, the bur-den is on you to find thefollow up treatment theemergency physicianwill almost always rec-ommend.
