LOVELAND — Four people in acar reported stolen in a home-in-vasion robbery in Avondale April25 were arrested a day later aftera sharp-eyed Loveland police of-ficer noticed there was no frontlicense plate on the vehicle.

Before the suspects were inhandcuffs, the stolen car wouldbe driven through the backyardof a home in Miami Township andinto a tree with the four later ar-rested jumping out and beingchased by multiple law enforce-ment agencies assisted by a heli-copter and a police dog.

That’s according to the Love-

land police, who took the arrestedto the Clermont County Jail andsaid they planned to charge themwith receiving stolen propertyand obstructing official businessfor their actions in Loveland.

Also, “Officers returned to thescene and recovered a firearmbelieved to be used in the originaloffense,” Loveland Police ChiefTim Sabransky said.

“One of the suspects had thefirearm with him during the footpursuit and threw it in somebushes just prior to his arrest.”

Loveland police gave this ac-count of the chase and apprehen-sion in a press release and inter-views:

Loveland Police Officer KevinCorbett was on traffic patrol justbefore 10 a.m. April 26 when hesaw a car on East Loveland Ave-nue with no front license plate.

Corbett ran a check on theback license plate and found thecar had been reported stolen dur-ing a home invasion robberyApril 25 in Avondale.

While waiting for back-up

units to arrive, Corbett followedthe car into Miami Township andonto a dead-end street in the Mi-ami Trails subdivision.

The car traveled into a backyard and crashed into a tree,where Corbett caught one of thesuspects as the other three fledinto the woods.

Miami Township police offi-cers and Clermont County sheriffdeputies responded to the scene,along with more Loveland offi-

LOVELAND — Student Gov-ernment Night at Loveland cityhall was just minutes old when aLoveland High School seniormade a good stab at solving onecommunity problem.

After Loveland resident Ter-ry Stouder told Loveland CityCouncil April 24 that organizershad no music for the upcomingMemorial Day program, studentAlaina Strand proposed that theLoveland High School Choraleperform.

“I’m in it,” Strand said,prompting a clearly surprisedand pleased Stouder to respond,“I’d love it.”

This is about the 35th year forStudent Government Night, inwhich seniors chosen by Love-land High School based on their

accomplishments and applica-tions hold sway at city hall withtheir mentors — Loveland CityCouncil members and city ad-ministrators – at their side.

April 24 the students madetheir way through a two-hour-long agenda, observing rules oforder, debating issues and evenvoting on ordinances and resolu-tions, although the only bindingvotes were those cast by the realcity council members immedi-ately after their student proté-gés voted.

Participating Loveland High

School students grappled withitems on the agenda such as al-lowing temporary promotionalsigns and portable sandwichboard signs on the LovelandBike Trail and stark cuts thathave been made in state appro-priations to Loveland and othercities.

The students also broughtsome of their own issues to thefloor, such as the gridlock thatmaterializes at the intersectionof West Loveland Avenue and

children 3 – 5 years old.They also provide safe andaffordable housing for low-er income women at theAnna Louise Inn; a pro-gram which is 103 yearsold.

“We continue that samemission of safe and afford-able housing today,” Mel-ton said. “We really are theonly single room occupan-cy program left in the citythat specifically serveswomen.”

In 2006, they started“Off the streets” – theirnewest program – which al-ready helped more than500 women out of prostitu-tion by 2011. CUB is thelead agency of 25 to 30 com-munity partners support-ing women who are “liter-ally” rebuilding their livesafter getting off thestreets. Menyhert, who hasa technology background,began volunteering his ser-vices to help the agency ad-vance their internal tech-nological support systems.

“As he got closer to theagency, liked what he saw,and saw that we were doingit well, he moved from hisvolunteer work to being asupporter,” Melton saidabout Meynhart, who alsobecame a board member in2011.

“He was so generous.

George Menyhert knewhe had to do something togive back. It began atCrossroads Church, wherehe attends services with

his family..“Cross-

roads lightsa fire underme person-ally,” Me-nyhert said.“It makesme feelvery enthu-siastic

about doing things and car-ing about people.”

Menyhert believes “giv-ing back” is one part of ourlife we should not ignore. Itis the very reason he start-ed doing things for Cincin-nati Union Bethel sevenyears ago. Today he istraining to run a 40.6-mileultra-marathon in Tennes-see May 5 to raise funds fortheir programs.

According to CincinnatiUnion Bethel ExecutiveVice President Mary CarolMelton, CUB was estab-lished in 1830 by a group ofministers, but is not faith-based now.

“We are the oldest con-tinuously operating non-profit west of the EastCoast,” Melton said. “Itstarted to minister to boat-men and their families onthe river. We have such arich history of serving thecommunity of Cincinnati.”

Through the years Cin-cinnati Union Bethel start-ed the first free legal clinicand the first free dentalclinic. Celebrating 180years of serving they put avariety of milestones up ontheir website. Melton saysthey’ve been serving thecommunity longer thanany other organization.

“When you look at ourhistory, in all of the firststhat have happened, I thinkwe continue to be an or-ganization trying to be re-sponsive to the unmetneeds of the community,”she said. “Our primary fo-cus is on education and sup-portive services for wom-en, children, families andthe community.”

CUB responds withthree specific programs in-cluding four CincinnatiUnion Bethel Early Learn-ing Academies on the lowerwest side of Cincinnati for

He’s a dream volunteer.George serves on our de-velopment and marketingcommittee. He’s on ourstrategic planning commit-tee. Talk about a boardmember who goes the ex-tra mile.”

Menyhert has alreadygone the extra mile. He setup a Facebook page wheresupporters have been ableto follow his progress as hetrains for the ultra-mara-thon in Tennessee May 5.His goal was to raise $1,000by having followers donate$40 – a dollar for each mileof his ultra-marathon. Us-ing his technical expertise,he added a kind of “blog” tothe page with informationhelping to raise awarenessabout Cincinnati Union Be-thel.

“I think I only had about40 people “liked” it on Face-book,” Menyhert said.“Other people are checkingthe page without me know-ing about it.”

Menyhert recognizedhow difficult it is to gainfollowers on Facebook.With some help he com-posed a personal appeal let-ter to friends. Donationsgrew almost instantly. Thepush came from his per-sonal appeal to people heknew. He’s looking for ev-ery boost. Hovering closeto his goal at about $800 indonations with three weeksbefore the run, the week-end boost shot donations up

near $1,600.“Over the weekend, I

got a huge boost,” he said.“From a donation perspec-tive, it really hopped up.That was good, my goal was$1,000.”

Training is critical toMeynhart’s other goal ofcompleting the ultra-mara-thon in Tennessee. Menyh-ert wouldn’t call himself aserious runner, but hasbeen running for about 10years. He ran his first, andonly, marathon in 2008.Since starting the training,he’s run three marathons infour weeks.

How does a guy who ran

just one marathon fouryears ago, and says he’snever really been seriousabout running; how doesthat guy choose to run a40.6 mile ultra-marathon?

“I don’t like to repeatthings,” Menyhert beganexplaining. “It’s a theme ofmy life, my career. Once Ifigure out how to do it, Iwant to automate it. I don’twant to do it again. I want todo something different.That was one part of it.”

Menyhert also read“Born to Run,” a book abouthow our bodies are reallydesigned to run. He says itchanged his perspective on

running. Reading about theultra-marathons got himthinking about it while hewas out running and onething led to another.

“This money is not spe-cifically allocated towardone program,” Menyhertsaid. “I was thinking of therenovating at Anna LouiseInn. The one that is mostemotional is the graduationfor “Off the streets” pro-gram. You gotta bringKleenex to it”

MIAMI TWP. — Thetrustees April 17 voted torefinance two existingbond issues in a move thatcould save up to $282,000.

The bonds are for theMiami Township CivicCenter purchase and theWoodspoint Drive exten-sion. The two bond issueswould be combined intoone.

“Bond rates today areexcellent,” Administrator

Larry Fronk said.The two existing bonds,

issued in 2003 and 2004, to-tal about $3.5 million andcarry interest rates be-tween 3.5 percent and 5percent, said Fiscal OfficerEric Ferry.

The new bond wouldcarry an interest rate be-low 2.5 percent and matureover the next 17 years, hesaid.

The exact interest rateof the new bond would de-pend on when it is issued,Fronk said.

“Time is of the es-sence,” he said.

Fronk said the new bondissue should be completedby late May.

Ferry also said thetownship’s bond rating hasa good chance of being up-graded from Aa2 to Aa1,which could save the town-ship more money in the fu-ture.

“Improving our bondrating is a real accomplish-ment in these tough eco-nomic times,” he said.

Bill aims to spur jobcreation, enhancetourism

In an effort to spur long-term

economic development andstreamline Ohio’s governmentstructure, the Ohio House ofRepresentatives has passedlegislation to reform the Ohio

Department of Development inorder to continue revitalizingOhio’s job creation efforts.

When enacted, House Bill 489will complete the transitionfrom the Ohio Department ofDevelopment to the OhioDevelopment Services Agency.The legislation will revitalizeOhio’s job creation efforts byproviding essential services toJobsOhio – the state’s private,non-profit entity createdthrough House Bill 1 – includingthe administration and over-sight of loans and tax creditsthat will further create andexpand Ohio businesses. The billalso clarifies the contractsbetween the ODSA and JobsO-hio.

“This legislation is a necessarystep towards fueling job cre-ation around the state, especial-ly in the tourism industry, whichwill be particularly beneficial toexpanding economic devel-opment Warren County,” StateRep. Ron Maag said.

Specifically, the legislationwould:

» create a pilot program,TourismOhio, to provide adedicated funding source fortourism marketing;

» improve access to capitalfor minority-owned businessesby increasing the amount offinancing available; and

» reform the tax credit proc-ess to ensure businesses are notpenalized by delays due to themeeting schedule of the OhioTax Credit Authority.

Additionally, the legislationcreates within ODSA the Officeof TourismOhio, which will befunded through a five-yearpilot program that links fund-ing for TourismOhio to thegrowth in sales tax revenues oftourism-related industries. TheTourismOhio Advisory Boardthe bill creates will includeindustry experts to provideguidance and support efforts topromote Ohio tourism, onwhich visitors spend more than$36 billion annually in Ohio.

House Bill 489 passed by avote of 91-5 and was sent to theOhio Senate for further dis-cussion.

LOVELAND — A season thatbegan with a lot of promise nowhas some questions that must beanswered down the homestretch.

The Loveland girls softballteam began the season 8-1 andwere at the top of the Fort An-cient Valley Conference. How-ever, since mid-April, the yellowball has not always bouncedLoveland’s way.

“We have some major inju-ries going,” coach Mike Rappsaid. “Our No. 1 pitcher’s beendown (Olivia Pifer) and ourcatcher (Haley Shuemake) has abad thumb. We had to bring up aJV player to play third base.”

That’s because when sopho-more Pifer is not throwing, an-other sophomore, Olivia Stantontakes the circle. When Pifer’spitching, Stanton handles the hotcorner.

To make matters more inter-esting, Stanton experiencedsome back tightness on a blus-tery day in Loveland in her firststart. If she goes down, the nextoption is the No. 2 junior varsitypitcher as the No. 1 JV “flipper”

is wearing a boot cast.Along with the injury bug, the

slump bug has taken a bite out ofthe Lady Tigers. They uncharac-teristically lost three in a row be-fore getting well with 18 runsagainst Northwest April 24.

“Right now, we’re kind of in ahitting fog,” Rapp said. “We’rehoping to come out of that. Wework on hitting every day. We’vejust run into a stretch with inju-ries and us not hitting.”

For most of the season, Love-land has hit enough to win. Themiddle of the month skid couldbe attributed to better pitching

or cooler April weather after awarm start.

Whatever the reason, Rapp isat a loss to explain it.

“Nicolette (Hayes) has beendoing a good job,” Rapp said.“My catcher (Shuemake) hasbeen doing a real good job. Thestory of the season though is wehaven’t hit enough. It’s kind ofsurprising because we have sixseniors, four of them four yearstarters. We expected more hit-ting.”

Shuemake and Stanton havebeen the biggest threats at theplate with averages over .300and some home run power. Ju-nior Bridget Landis and Piferare also over .300, but the sopho-more pitcher’s bat was absentfor a while under doctor’s or-ders.

Once cleared to hit, Pifer willhave at least another week be-fore she can hurl the ball towardthe plate again.

“We may get her back fortournament time,” Rapp said.“We’re just going to have to keepfighting and battling. We’re stilltrying to finish in the top three inour league. That’s certainly stillour goal.”

Loveland stays in the leagueMay 2-4, with road gamesagainst Anderson and Turpin be-fore returning home to host theLady Redskins that Friday.

The following are sub-mitted baseball summa-ries.

The Loveland HighSchool varsity baseballteam began the first weekof the final home stretchwith a key two-game se-ries against Milford fol-lowed by an away game atTurpin, narrowly losingthe Milford games, 5-4 and2-0 before also falling toTurpin 6-4.

The losses drop the Ti-gers to 10-3 in the league(15-5 overall) and a tie forfirst place with Milford at10-3, while also tighteningthe overall race for theFAVC East Division titleas Kings and Andersontrail the leaders by onegame with records of 9-4.

» Monday’s game sawthe Tigers produce of-fense early, strugglethrough the middle in-nings, then rally exciting-ly at the end only to comeup just short of the Eagles5-4.

After giving the Eaglesa run in the top of the 1st,the Tigers put fivestraight batters on base,scoring two runs, in theirhalf of the 1st and had theMilford starting pitcherNick Paul (W, 4-0) laboringand on the ropes. But Paulgot back-to-back outs toleave the bases loaded andget out of the inning avoid-ing further damage.

Milford came back inthe 2nd scoring three runsand adding another in the3rd to go back in front 5-2.Meanwhile the Lovelandscoring opportunities be-came difficult over thenext five innings withthree double plays thwart-ing potential scoring op-portunities. But in their fi-nal at-bat the Tigersmounted a rally beginningwith a leadoff bunt singleby Reed Schlesner, whoadvanced to third on an er-ror and a balk by the Mil-ford pitcher. One out laterJoe Moran doubled tobring home Schlesner andput himself in scoring po-sition with three of the Ti-gers hottest hitters to fol-low in Jacob Meyer, MitchLendenski and DarrenSackett. After a seven-pitch at-bat in which hefouled off three pitcheswith two strikes on him,Meyer smashed a hardgrounder fielded cleanlyby the third baseman forthe second out of the in-

ning.Lendenski worked a

full count before lacing apayoff pitch down thefirst-base line into rightfield scoring Moran andputting himself in scoringposition as the tying run.But Lendenski correctlyrounded third with a stan-dup triple, and as the relaythrow from the outfieldcame into the Milford sec-ond baseman, he lost hisfooting just past the baseand was caught in a rundown between third andhome for the final out ofthe game.

Hitting leaders in thegame for Loveland in-clude: Moran 2-3, 2R, 2B,RBI; Lendenski 2-3, 3B,2RBI; Schlesner 2-4, R.

» Wednesday’s re-match at Milford amount-ed to a pitching dual be-tween Loveland ace Mi-chael Louis (L, 2-2) andMilford’s Zach Cook (W,4-2) with each pitcherblanking their opponentthrough the first four in-nings and Louis taking ano-hitter into the fifth. Butin the fifth Milford wouldpush a run across the plateto take a 1-0 lead on threeinfield singles, two ofwhich were gloved by thedefense.

Milford scored anotherrun in the top of the sixthon a soft line-drive singleleading off the inning fol-lowed by a double to thegap, which made the score2-0 heading into the Tigersfinal at-bat. Again Love-land put the tying run inscoring position with aleadoff single by MitchLendenski and a two-outwalk by Brian Bullock fol-lowed by a double steal.But the rally would diethere as the Tigers wereunable to get either run-ner home for the 2-0 loss.

Hitting leaders in thegame for Loveland in-clude: Sackett 2B.

» Friday’s game at Tur-pin, the Spartans got out toa quick lead which theywould not relinquish in thefirst sending eight battersto the plate and benefitingby a couple of walks andan error to go up 2-0.

In the top of the thirdLoveland got a run whenRyne Terry singled tobring in Reed Schlesner,who reached on a fielder’schoice after Reid Wad-dle’s infield hit. But theSpartans got that run backand another in the bottomof the inning to extendtheir lead to 4-1.

In the fifth the Tigers

looked to have a rally go-ing loading the bases whenSchlesner was safe at firstafter back-to-back singlesby Brian Bullock and Wad-dle. But only one runwould score on a Ryan Alt-man sacrifice fly when abase runner was doubledup on the ensuing throwback to the infield.

Turpin scored twomore in the sixth after anerror allowed a run toscore and kept the inningalive for an amazingly ex-ecuted suicide squeezewhen the batter practical-ly threw his bat at a pitchway outside the strikezone, bringing in anotherrun for a 6-3 lead.

The Tigers put togeth-er another last inningthreat, this time with twoouts. Altman singled, JoeMoran was hit by a pitch,Jacob Meyer and MitchLendenski walked, the lat-ter bringing in Altman toscore. Darren Sackettworked the count to 3-2,then hit a shot to left cen-ter field, but the Spartancenterfielder got under itfor the catch and the finalout for the Tigers thirdconsecutive loss of theweek 6-4.

Hitting leaders in thegame for Loveland in-clude: Altman 2-3, R, RBI;Waddle 2-3; Meyer RBI.

A publication of

Judges in Hamilton Countycan order electronic monitoringof defendants to help safeguardthe community. The ElectronicMonitoring Division (EMD) ofthe Hamilton County Sheriff’sOffice administers this pro-gram.

Electronic monitoring unitsare used to supervise defen-dants who are out on bond be-fore trial or sentencing or whohave been sentenced to homeincarceration. The electronicmonitor is a metal device wornon the defendant’s ankle. Thereare two types of units: radiofrequency and global position-

ing (GPS).Radio frequency units con-

nect to a defendant’s landlinetelephone. The defendant isrequired to be inside his houseunless he is at work, school orother permitted location duringset hours. If the defendantleaves his house without permis-sion, an EMD officer is immedi-ately notified. The officer thenobtains an arrest warrant for thedefendant.

GPS units have more ad-vanced technology and allow theEMD officer to continuouslytrack the precise location of thedefendant day and night. Track-

ing data is col-lected fromglobal satellitesand communi-cated to theEMD officer inreal time.

The EMDofficer usesGPS units toestablish “in-clusion zones”and “exclusion

zones” for the defendant. In-clusion zones are set up aroundthe defendant’s work or home.Any deviation from a set sched-ule will cause a direct alert to

law enforcement. Exclusionzones are areas establishedaround the home, work or schoolof the victim. If an exclusionzone is breached, emergencydata is sent directly to the 911Communication Center for animmediate police response.

The EMD program costs lessthan incarceration. Housing aninmate in the Hamilton CountyJustice Center costs $65 per day.EMD equipment is rented froma private vendor for $1.50 perday for each radio frequencyunit and $6.50 per day for eachGPS unit. Defendants sentencedto EMD are required to pay for

the program on a sliding scaleup to $50 per month.

EMD also benefits defen-dants who invariably prefer tolive at home and maintain theiremployment rather than jail. 80percent of EMD defendantscomplete the program withoutviolating the rules. Violatorsusually go to jail so there issubstantial incentive for compli-ance.

It’s prettyclear at thispoint thatMitt Romneyis going to bethe Repub-lican nomineefor President.

And one ofthe mostimportantdecisions that

Romney will have to make inhis quest for the presidency, iswho to select as a runningmate. For what it’s worth, Ithink that Rob Portman wouldbe a great choice. He’d be atremendous vice presidentialcandidate, and if God forbid,tragedy befell a Romney ad-ministration and the vicepresident had to step up andfill the position of president,no one, in my opinion, would bemore prepared to take on theawesome responsibilities ofthat office than Rob Portman.

I’ve been fortunate enoughto know and work with RobPortman for more than 20years now. We representedadjoining Congressional dis-tricts in the House of Repre-sentatives for more than adecade. Sharing the responsi-bilities of representing Great-er Cincinnati in Congress gaveme considerable insight intothe real Rob Portman.

He’s honest, hard-working,smart, detail-oriented anddedicated to his family. Per-haps his greatest asset is hiswife Jane, who is a leader inher own right.

Perhaps most importantly,the Romney campaign won’thave to worry about gettingRob Portman up to speed tofulfill his role as a vice presi-dential candidate. He knowsthe issues inside and out. Infact, he’s so knowledgeableand such a good debater thatwhen the Bush/Cheney and

McCain campaigns were look-ing for a top-notch debater,they chose Rob Portman toplay that critical role. Cheneyeven commented that Portmanwas a tougher (and better)opponent than Joe Liberman!

Also importantly, Rob Port-man has already been vettedfor his job in the executivebranch of the government –twice. First, when he was con-firmed by the U.S. Senate forthe cabinet level position ofU.S. Trade Representative,after leaving Congress. Andthen when he was again con-firmed by the United StatesSenate to fill the critical posi-tion of director of the OMB(Office of Management andBudget.) And when you consid-er how critical it is that we getour $16 trillion plus budgetdebt under control, experiencein this area is very important.

On the political front, as isoften said, no Republican hasever been elected Presidentwithout carrying Ohio. Andthere’s no question that RobPortman will be key in seeingthat Ohio goes for Romney thisNovember. Looking back atRob’s own Senate race in 2010,Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher was lead-ing Rob by double-digits whenthat race got under way. By thetime election day rolledaround, Rob Portman hadturned his underdog candidacyinto an 18 point victory, andcarried 82 of Ohio’s 88 coun-ties.

Look, there are some othergreat candidates Mitt Romneywill consider to be his runningmate, among them MarcoRubio, Chris Christie andMitch Daniels, to name but afew. I would submit that thebest choice he could make isSen. Rob Portman.

I was more of a citygirl, so on my visits I loved towalk in the woods, fish in herpond and ice skate on it in thewinter. The best thing though,was her cooking. She alwaysprepared two or three meats,numerous vegetables and saladsand several desserts. Eventhough she lived alone, shecooked for an army no matterhow many or few were coming.

Cooking and shopping for oneor two people can be difficult toadjust to after cooking in largeamounts your whole life. Gro-cery shopping is the first hurdle,because foods are generallypackaged for larger householdsof four or more. Nobody wantsto spend money on food that willspoil before it is used.

The first step is to figure outhow much you need. Here aresome general guidelines on howmuch food to buy to make two

servings: One-half pound tothree-fourthspound of freshvegetables;one-half poundto one pound ofleafy vegeta-bles; one 10-ounce packageof frozen vege-tables; one-

fourth to one-third pound ofmeat per person (double that formeats on the bone). If you can’tfind fresh meat in a small pack-age, ask someone at the counterto split the package for you.

One person probably will notconsume an entire loaf of breadbefore it loses its freshness, butbread freezes well and thaws outquickly.

The salad bar may be moreeconomical for one person. Eventhough it’s more expensive perpound, it could be cheaper thanbuying each vegetable separate-ly and throwing some of it away.

Frozen meals come in singleservings and have greatly im-proved over the years. They notonly taste good, but are healthyand require only a microwavefor preparation. I often bringthem for lunch. They cost about$3 to $4 each - cheaper than afast food combo meal.

There are specialty cook-books containing recipes de-signed for cooking for one ortwo. You may be able to cutdown your favorite recipes.However, if it’s something thatcan be frozen, make the entirerecipe and divide it into smallerportions and freeze them. Re-member to date and label itemsso you can identify them later.

If you find you have cookedtoo much food, why not invite afriend over to share it? Dinner isalways more enjoyable when it’sshared.

Eunice “Lucy” Jennings lefther New Richmond home in latesummer of 1918 to report forduty as a Red Cross nurse atCamp Sherman, Ohio. Thesprawling 2,000-acre Armycamp, located near Chillicothe,was the third largest in thecountry. It was built to house upto 40,000 men and 10,000 horses.Sherman also guarded 200 Ger-man POWs who were put towork in the camp’s vegetablegarden.

The world was at war in 1918.As many as 15 million people,both combatants and civilianshad died, in what was knownlater as The Great War. Littledid the world know that a newworld war, one pitting a virusagainst humanity, would soonbreak out. The Spanish influen-za, probably originating in Kan-sas, hit with an unprecedentedferocity. By the time the pan-demic had passed, as many as

100 millionpeople world-wide had died.Putting thesituation inperspective,historians haveestimated thatthe flu killedmore people injust 24 weeksthan AIDS had

in 24 years, or that more died ofit in one year than did of theBlack Death in 100 years.

Within two weeks of herarrival at Camp Sherman, LucyJennings contracted the flu. Afew days later, she died of flu-related pneumonia. Lucy was 26years old. She was buried at Mt.Moriah cemetery. Jenningswasn’t the only Clermonter whodied at Camp Sherman. Amongthe 1,200 recorded flu deaths atCamp Sherman, were ArthurMcKay of Milford, Ed Cole of

Goshen, William Sherman of Mt.Holly, Ernest Scheidt of GlenEste, and Andy Hockstock ofBatavia. Eventually, 20,000American troops would die ofthe virus.

Ohio’s cities struggled withthe disease as well. More than1,500 Ohioans died during theweek of October 26, 1918. Atheater in Chillicothe was con-verted into a morgue where thebodies “were stacked like cord-wood.” Believing that salivacarried the contagion, Cincin-nati outlawed spitting - charging$1 per offense. Libraries,schools, and courts were shutdown.

Eventually, the diseasepeaked, leaving a terrible wakein its passage.

April 25 questionDo you think the recent scan-

dals involving the Secret Serviceand General Services Administra-tion is an example of a federalgovernment that is too large andbureaucratic?

“No, these scandals are notcaused by big bureaucratic gov-ernment, they are caused by indi-viduals and managers who exhib-it incredibly bad judgment.

“That such people are incharge may be the result of an or-ganization that has gotten too bigto police itself, but the explana-tion I favor is poor or nonexistentleadership at the top. PresidentHarry Truman proclaimed ‘Thebuck stops here,’ but in today’sWhite House that concept hasbeen replaced with ‘Don’t blameme.’”

Mint julepsMake a simple syrup:

combine 1 cup water, 1 cupsugar and a generous 1/2cup roughly chopped

spearmint leaves in a pan.Bring to a boil and cookuntil sugar dissolves. Letcool, then strain. Fill yourfrozen goblets (or evenregular glasses, not fro-zen) with crushed ice andpour about 4 oz. bourbonand 1/4 cup mint syrup ineach. Go to taste on this!Top each with a sprig ofmint and a straw whichhas been trimmed to bare-ly come up to the top ofthe cups.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Spearmint or pepper-mint – which is best forjuleps?

There’s always a debateabout this. Spearmint istraditional, and sweeterthan peppermint. Pepper-mint contains a lot of men-thol, which makes it tastestronger. Peppermint isused in a lot of medicinesand also in toothpastes,peppermint candies andchewing gum. Spearmintis much milder in flavorand used more in the culi-nary area. It used to flavorchewing gum and candy.

How close are weto a cure for cancer?

Despite remarkable progress in the fight against cancer, there are many cancer patients whose

greatest challenge isn’t lack of treatment. It’s lack of transportation.

To make sure that everyone who needs a ride gets one, the American Cancer Society is currently

seeking volunteer drivers. If you have one or more mornings or afternoons free during the month,

you can volunteer for this lifesaving program. A person can volunteer as often as he or she wishes.

For information on how to volunteer, or if you need transportation assistance, call your American

Cancer Society at 1.800.227.2345.

With extremely lowinterest rates thesedays many people aretempted to buy a newhouse. But if you buy orsell a house in Ohio orKentucky, you need toknow about the state’slien laws.

In December, Davidand Donna Allen boughta condo in Mason. “Wepaid cash for the condobut we wanted to dosome renovations be-fore we moved in. So,we applied for a homeequity line of credit,”Donna said.

Since they owned thecondo outright thereshould be no problemgetting a loan on theproperty but “the bankmanager called to saythere was a lien againstthe property that wasput there after the titlesearch for the closingwas done and it wasagainst my husband,”Donna said.

They were told thelien is from a CapitalOne judgment but Da-vid said he never had anaccount there. So, theychecked with the countyclerk of court. Donnasaid, “She sent me a

copy ofthe origi-nal judg-mentfromButlerCounty.It saidthe lienis to beplacedagainst

David M. Allen wholives in Middletown. Wenever lived in Middle-town.”

In addition to thatdocument, the clerk alsogave the Allens a mis-taken identity affidavitand told David to fill itout and send it to Cap-ital One. He did, but“we’ve never heardanything back fromthem and I don’t evenknow whom to call any-more,” Donna said.

Finally, Allen tookthat affidavit to herlender and then gotapproval for the line ofcredit on the condo, butit took an extra twoweeks because of all theconfusion.

“This is not the firsttime this has happened.When we sold our homein Fairfield Township

three years ago ourrealtor called and saidthey did a title searchand there were six liensagainst us,” Donna said.

So, what’s going onhere? Well, in Ohio liensare not placed againstproperty, but ratherthey are placed againsta person’s name. So,anyone with a commonname like David Allencould find a lot of judg-ments against otherswith that same name.

Just as was finallydone in this case, yousimply need to get a“not me” or “mistakenidentity” affidavit fromthe clerk of court andtake that to your lender.That will show you’renot the person named inthe judgment. Thissame system is used inIndiana, but not used inKentucky. In Kentucky,liens are actually placedagainst the propertiesthemselves rather thana person’s name.

What do Joe Desch, CEOof Print Management, BradReisenfeld, managing part-ner of Reisenfeld and Asso-ciates, and Ray Schilde-rink, owner/partner of RESInvestments –MainstreamWaterjet – Fax MedleyGroup have in common?Their love for Pilates.

These three busy execu-tives all participate in sev-eral Pilates classes a weekat Cincinnati Sports Club,and each feel that it has im-proved their strength, flex-ibility, overall well being,reduced their stress levelsand, in two out of threecases, their golf games.

Reisenfeld, a resident ofLoveland, has been doingPilates two to three timesper week for 1½ years. Hebegan taking classes aftera back injury, in order tostrengthen his core andavoid future injury Hisback has been injury freeever since, and he feels thatEmily Ratto, his instructorat Cincinnati Sports Club isboth great to work with andmotivating. In addition toPilates, Reisenfeld jogsand does P90X.

Says Reisenfeld, “Pi-lates has improved myoverall flexibility, and alsomy golf game. I can alsofeel my stress level going

way down during the actualclass.ThethingIfoundsur-prising is that Pilates is alot harder than it looks andthat you can get a reallygreat workout if you arewilling to put forth the ef-fort.”

Desch, a resident ofHyde Park, has been doingPilates two times a weekthe past three years on therecommendation of MaryFrank, marketing managerat Cincinnati Sports Club,and after reading the“buzz” it was causingamong both professionalgolfers and orthopedic sur-geons.

Deesch’s wife attendsthe Pilates class with him,although he says she hasnot allowed him to count itas “date night.” Desch cou-ples his Pilates workoutwith an elliptical workouttwo to three times perweek, mixed in with a bit ofinterval and circuit train-ing.

According to Desch, “Ihate to workout, but threethings have kept me com-ing back to Pilates. First ofall Anne James, our in-structor at CincinnatiSports Club, keeps it moti-vating and switches it up abit so it doesn’t get mun-dane. She usually adds in a

bit of TRX and cardio. Sec-ondly, I workout regularlywith another person, whichhelps keep me accountable.Lastly, Pilates incorporatesa lot of the various work-outs that I have done overthe years. so it was rela-tively easy to adapt to andmy performance has im-proved with continual rep-etition.”

He adds, “Practicemakes perfect with Pilates,and I have seen a definiteimprovement in strength,flexibility, and have beenable to take off the weightmuch quicker, providedthat I eat properly. Al-though I haven’t seen in-creased distance in mydrives on the golf course, Idefinitely recover muchmore quickly after walking18 holes.”

Schilderink, a residentof Indian Hill, has also beendoing Pilates two times aweek for several years.Like Reisenfeld, he hashaving some back issues.He typically lifts someweights and does ellipticaltraining after class, andalso works out one otherday of the week. He feelsthat instructor Anne Jameskeeps class fun and helpskeep him regimented tocoming twice per week.Like Desch, he likes thefact that James mixes in abit of TRX suspensiontraining during class.
