The St. Columbanfourth-grade class ofBeth Judd combined

lessons from reading, reli-gion and science to helpfund a solarwell to providefresh water to people inEthiopia.

“We’re raising moneyfor PowerUp Ethiopia,”said Madelyn Butera,fourth-grade lemonadestand volunteer. “They’rebuilding solar power wellsin Ethiopia for people whodon’t have fresh water.”

They’re setting up alemonade stand in theparking lot from 3 p.m. to3:30p.m.afterschooleveryTuesday and Fridaythroughout April and Mayto sell lemonade. Not justlemonade, but frozen pop-sicles too. Amelia Francis-

co said they’re doing it tohelp others in need.

“For the other peoplewho don’t have fresh wa-ter,” she said; “to give themfresh water to drink andkeep them from gettingsick from dirty water.”

All the money fromtheir lemonade stand saleswill help build a solar wellin Harar, Ethiopia as partof a project called Powe-rUp Ethiopia.

“They’ve been lookingforward to doing it allweek,” Judd said.

Several different stu-dents staff the lemonadestand each day. At the endof the second week, theirenthusiasm was undenia-ble.

“Theywere jumpingoutof their skin with excite-ment.”

First the students inJudd’s fourth-grade class

read a story about a broth-er and sister who sold lem-onade to solveanargumentbetween them. Student Jo-lie Brausch said, in thebook “Lemonade War,” thetwo siblings decided who-ever sells the most lemon-ade wins

“It’s winner take all andloser gets nothing,”Brausch said. There’s nowar going on with theirlemonade stand, but sheknows who wins.

“Probably the people inPowerUpEthiopia; thepeo-ple they are doing it for.”

Science andmath teach-er Eileen Phelps has beenteaching them about cleanwater. In religion classthey’re learning abouthelping others outsidetheir own community.They had a Skype sessionwith Danny Sexton, foun-der of Concordia Humana

whichstarted thePowerUpEthiopiaproject.He’s fromLoveland and St. Colum-ban.

“We ‘Skyped’ with Dan-ny and he showed us pic-tures of how destitute andawful the conditions arefor these people,” Juddsaid.

Imagine walking twomiles toget access towateryouhave tocarryhomeandboil before it is safe to use.Sexton’s mother, KathySexton, also teaches at St.Columban and shared thedifference between tellingthe kids about it versusthem seeing the pictures.

“You can talk about howthe kids have towalk a cou-plemiles togetwater,”Sex-ton said, “but when theysawpictures – thiswasdes-olate rutted roads withnothing but a blazing sun.He showed them their

class room and they wereappalled at the conditionsthey saw.”

That was enough to in-spire theSt.Columbankidsto start a lemonade stand tohelp. On Friday of theirsecond week, they had lotsof customers; they made$67 before turning awaycustomers when they ranout of lemonade. A rap-style announcement doneby students Robby Stine-man, Garret Schenk, andJeremy Huiet may havebeen responsible drawingthe large crowd.

“This is the best re-sponse we’ve had so far,”Judd said. “I think it wasthe announcements. Theseboys just did a rap on theannouncements topromoteit.”

Seamus Taylor liked theidea of helping.

“I think it’s a good idea

and Imight do it the rest ofthe summer,” Taylor said.

He’s not the only one.Sam Cline and Drew Geierare taking it to the streetsat home with a stand oftheir own.

“MeandAndrewmadealemonade stand on ourstreet for PowerUp Ethio-pia,”Clinesaid. “We’resell-ing Kool-Aid and we’regonna start selling brown-ies soon.”

EllaSchaltz andFrankieHaas earned $130 sellinglemonade on their streetApril 12.

Lessons learned fromreading, religion and sci-ence have gone straight tothe heart of Beth Judd’sfourth-grade class.

“I want to help the poorbecause they have lessthan us, and we have cleanwater and they don’t,” Jen-na Van Schaik said.

LOVELAND — Much of theseason, if you were late for aLoveland High School girls la-crosse game, you likelymissedsubstantial action.

With a running clock andlightning-quick offense, theLady Tigers coached by RickJones have often been on thesmiling side of some lopsidedgames.

“We’ve had two really closeones and maybe three or fourwherethescorewaswiderthanthe game really was,” Jonessaid. “Wesortof lay itonpeopleat the end.”

At presstime, Loveland hadscored in double figures in ev-ery game. In a little over amonth, they beat Seven Hillsby12,Milfordby11,Springboroby10,LakotaWestby11,LakotaEast by 18, Walnut Hills by 13,Centerville by 12, Lebanon by12 and Kings by 12.

First team all-district mid-die Hannah Bellamah is typi-cally around the net for Love-land tormenting Tristate goal-tenders.

“She’s probably averagedseven goals per game,” Jonessaid. “She could easily play incollege.”

Juniors Savannah Lee andTaylor Wilhoite are also tena-cious in themidfield alongwithfreshman Katie McElveenwho’s been described as the“future superstar” of Lovelandlacrosse.

“She’s doing great and is areally strong middie,” Jonessaid. “She’s super on thedraws.She’s as good of a draw personas I’ve seen.”

In goal is senior RachelHeath, whowill go on to play atthe University of Findlay. Of-fensively and defensively, Bel-lamah and Heath have guidedthe program from a 2-14 markas freshmen to this season’s su-perlative effort.

“We’re pretty solid all theway through the lineup,” Jonessaid. “The youth program’sreallybuiltupover the lastcou-ple of years, but a lot of it is thehard work of the senior class.They’re seeing all the workcome to fruition here with areally solid season.”

Jones stands a good chanceto surpass last year’s 15-win to-tal, but shrugs off the successas many athletes at 1 TigerTrail have excelled.

“In Loveland, they all dogood,” Jones said laughing.

In his second year sincecoming fromKings as an assis-tant, Jones has the Lady Tigerspoised to keep playing in May.

The 7-2 Tigers took afewminutes post-game torecognize two formercoaches, Mike Werner(2006-09) andMarkLynch(2010-2013), who were in-strumental in buildingLoveland High Schoolboys lacrosse into one ofthe top Division I pro-grams in Ohio.

Tiger captains MaxMather, Brian McElveenand Tanner Griffin posedmid-field with currentheadcoachMikePritzandhis staff, along with theformer Tiger head coachafter the game.

“It’s amazing how farthe program has come injust a few short years,”Werner said. “We wentfrom club level to playingin the Division II statechampionship in our firstfive years. And the leap

the program took oncewemoveduptoDivision Ihasbeen pretty remarkable.”

With 30 of the Tigers’wins as a Division I teamcoming in the last two-and-a-half seasons, Wer-ner agreed Loveland hasbenefited recently frombeing able to attract toplocal coaches to the pro-gramandretaintheyoungtalent moving up throughtheir system.

“Great practice facili-ties, great stadium, a newstate-of-the art weightroom, outstanding boost-ers, outstanding parents,it makes it easy for theprogram to pull in excel-lent coaches like Mark

Lynch when I left, andnow Mike Pritz now thatMark has moved on.”

Mark Lynch, whomoved to Texas to take afull-time high schoolcoaching position at theend of last season, alsochimed in from his homebase in Dallas.

MONTGOMERY — Sheruns for a reason. Several,actually.

Amy Robillard won the2014 Flying Pig MarathonMay3,herfirst timeenter-ing the26.2-mileraceafterwinning the halfmarathonin 2011 and 2012.

“I still can’t believe it,”Robillard said the day af-ter themarathon. “Itwas aamazing, just amazing.”

That Robillard - an as-sistant cross countrycoach at Ursuline Acad-emy - ran at all is some-thingofamiracleaftershebroke her leg in Decem-ber.

UA cross country headcoach Rachel Bea - whowon the Flying Pig in 2012as Robillard was winningthe half marathon - said itwas a great day for the Li-ons.

“I finishedthehalfmar-athonandwentbackoutonthe course to find her nearthe end,” she said. “I wasjumping up and down

screaming (at the finishline). She justhas thatkindof inner strength. If shegets her mind set to dosomething,shegets itdoneand delivers.

“Therewereacoupleofgirls out on the coursewhowere cheering for her. Ithink it’s really good forour girls to see we’re notjust talking the talk. We’rewalking the walk. Thegirls know Amy is a toughcoach with tough love. Ifanything it shows themhow they can overcomeanything.”

Robillard had morethan a broken leg as an ob-stacle the last few years.

Her then-infant sonJameson - nurses at Chil-dren’s Hospital nick-named him Jamo - neededa bonemarrow transplant.Amy and her husbandspent the better part of ayear in isolation with himas he got the transplantand recovered.

“When you live in atransplant unit, you’rereally isolated,” Robillardsaid. “(Running) was my

therapy. I needed that re-lease. I was mentallydrained and I need to re-charge. I was power-walk-ing through the hospital at2 a.m.. The securitypeopleand others let me knowgood places to run. Theyunderstood it was a bighelp.”

Jamo, now healthy atage 4, still has to go in forweekly lab work to makesure he’s OK. Amy giveshimaMatchbook car afterevery visit for his braveryin the face of countlessneedless. He gives her thestrength to excel.

“I have no reason tocomplain,” she said. “Ihave pulled so muchstrength from him andfrom what I saw otherfamilies going through.Running a marathonhurts, yes. If you’re run-ning a 2:30 marathon or a4:30 marathon, there’s go-

ing to be some pain, butthis is nothing. Those kidsat Children’s didn’t choosewhat they’re goingthrough

“Ichoose todo this. Ien-joy doing this. You have tohave a love and a passionfor it. I struggled at theend. I fell off my pace by30 seconds the last coupleof miles, but it could havebeen worse. (Winning amarathon) is just whodoesn’t fall apart themost.”

Robillard was a swim-mer in college at the Uni-versity of Arizona, but al-ways enjoyed running aspart of her dry-land train-ing. When her swimmingcareer ended she said, “Iwasn’t ready tobe finishedcompeting, so I startedrunning seriously.”

Robillard also helpscoach the Cincinnati HillsChristian Academy ele-mentarytrackteamwhereher daughter Addie runs.The 6-year-old posted a29:09 time in theMarch 23Run for the Lions 5K raceat Ursuline in memory ofJordan Hoak, a track andcross country runner whowas killed in an auto acci-dent last year.

“I think I might have amini-meonmyhands,” shesaid. “She gets upset whenshe can’t get outside andrun.”

JEDZ is just another straw on the backsof struggling small business owners

Another reason for businesses in Symmes Township andMilford to pack it in and close up shop.

It seems that many people believe that anyone who ownstheir own business iswealthy.How far from reality that reallyis. Can we afford another tax? Absolutely not! My small busi-ness is known (system statistics) to have an average yearlyprofit of 5.33 percent. Commodity prices continue to increase.We are on the verge of a minimumwage increase.

Is this the place for communities to find ways “to maintainquality of life standards that their citizens have come too ex-pect” on thebacks of their strugglingbusiness owners andem-ployees who work for them?

Figure it out folks, even if ourbusinesshassalesof$450, 000per year and does everything perfectly we might squeeze out$24, 000 (before taxes) for the entire year. Many years it’smuch less.Youmight askwhyevenbe inbusiness?Weaskour-selves that every day. It seems like a lot of work for nothing.

To present this tax to the public as an “alternative to raisingproperty taxes” sounds like extortion to me.

This entire plan needs rethinking.Donna Raishart

May 7 questionWhat drives you crazy about

other drivers?

“There are a few habits ofother drivers that bug me: Oneis tailgating i.e. following toocloselybehindmewhenIamgo-ing the proper speed.

“The other is the lack of us-ing a turn signal.

“Thefinalonewouldbe thosedriving with out insurance. Itseems that half the accidentsare with drivers who do nothave the proper insurance. The

Ohio DMV needs to be autho-rized to check for and actuallyseean insurancecard fromany-one getting license tags or adriver’s license renewal. GoFigure!”

T.D.T.

“1. Drivers who don’t stop atcrosswalks. Pedestrians whodon’t use crosswalks.

“2. Drivers who turn rightright, then immediately wait toturn left into a corner property.They could have continuedstraight and justmadeone right

turn without obstructing traf-fic.

“3. Drivers that block an in-tersection when the light isgreen. If there wasn’t room foryou to clear the intersection,just wait until the next light cy-cle. This also leads to the otherannoying drivers that take thisopening tomake a ‘right turn onred,’ taking advantage of thedriver waiting until there wasroomfor themtoadvance. If ev-eryone would just be a bit morepatient, traffic should flow bet-ter as designed and if you don’t

make that traffic light cycleyour car will be first in line forthe next green light.”

“4. Two way left turn lanes(chicken lanes or suicide lanes)are not passing lanes.”

M.T.

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’S QUESTIONWhat advice would you give to graduating high school and collegeseniors?

Every week we ask readers a question they can reply to via e-mail. Send your answers [email protected] with Ch@troom in the subject line.

There aremany whomourn therecent passingof formerUnites StatesAmbassadorJohn E. Doli-bois and I amone of them.

I had thepleasure ofspending timewith Ambassa-dor Dolibois during his lateryears at his home in Cincin-nati. We had a few things incommon such as our almamater, Miami University, andour mutual brotherhood in theAlpha Chapter of Beta ThetaPi.

For those that are not famil-iar with John’s legacy, he was aformer U.S. Ambassador to hisnative county of Luxembourg(appointed by President Rea-gan in 1981) and was the lastAmerican survivor of a teamthat interrogated top-rankingNazis for the Nuremberg

Trials. He was instrumental inthe development of the MiamiUniversity Dolibois EuropeanCenter in Luxembourg, and in1987, he received the Cross ofthe Grand Ducal Order of theCrown of Oak, Luxembourg’shighest decoration.

John had a very warm spir-it. I recall during our last visithe shared his Luxembourgwine, told me about the variouspaintings that adjourned hisliving room, all painted byLuxembourg artists, and un-veiled handwritten mementosthat were sent to him and hisbeloved wife, Winnie, by vari-ous state officials.

Time stood still as he toldstory after story… The onethat sticks out most was anincident involving a hidden orsecret telephone that in thosedays was an Ambassador’sdirect line to the oval office –John’s telephone was hiddenbehind a curtain in his officebuilding. He recalled that hiswife, Winnie, was cleaning andaccidentally bumped the phone

off the cradle. When shepicked up to her surprise wasPresident Reagan on the otherend, “Winnie... is that you?” AsJohn recounted, PresidentReagan was very understand-ing and lighthearted in whatwas certainly an embarrassingmoment for Winnie.

Ambassador Dolibois re-marked that his life had been a“Pattern of Circles,” returningto the same familiar places andpeople after a period of ab-sence, and that is where hedrew inspiration for the nameof his autobiography. Johnnever forgot where he camefrom or the people and familythat helped in along the way.He is loved by his fellowMi-ami Alumni, Beta Theta Pibrothers, and all else who wereimpacted by his warm spirit,thoughtful advice and selflessdevotion.

John E. Dolibois will bemissed, but never forgotten.

Here wewere, wish-ing forwarmerweatherand it final-ly arrived.That meansasparagus,and lots ofit.

Everyday I go out to the aspar-agus patch and harvest acouple of pounds at least.And it’s not a big patch.

With all the otherspring chores, like tillingand planting and sowing,there isn’t a lot of time toplan for or prepare sup-per. Luckily, the “girls”/hens are keeping up withour demand of eggs, sobetween that and theabundance of asparagus,supper is a no brainer.

Asparagus baconquiche

Leftovers microwavewell. The ends of aspara-gus are tough. Aftercleaning, snap toughends off. Use for soup.There’s a natural “break”between the tough andtender parts.

9 or 10 inch pie panlined with pie dough

8 slices bacon, cut intosmall pieces

8 ounce or so aspara-gus, cut on angle in 1 inchor so pieces

4 large eggs, roomtemperature

2 cups half and half ormilk

About 1 teaspoon saltand half teaspoon pepper

1 heaping cup shred-ded cheese or more

Preheat oven to 375.Saute bacon and re-

move. In remaining drip-pings, sauté asparagus acouple of minutes only,just until it turns brightgreen. Remove from panwith slotted spoon.

Whisk eggs with milk.Add seasonings, cheese,bacon and asparagus.Pour into pie pan. Bake40-45 minutes untilpuffed all around. Thatmeans it’s done. If you’renot sure, insert a knife aninch from the edge. If itcomes out clean, you’regood to go.

Tips from Rita’skitchen:

If crust browns toomuch before quiche isdone, make a “collar” offoil around the crust.

Asparagus: spearsof protection

Asparagus is a power-house when it comes tofolic acid, necessary forblood cell formation anda healthy liver. Pregnantwomen especially need toget enough folic acid forhealthy babies. Aspara-gus is also low in sodium,a good source of potassi-um for healthy heartsand muscles, and a goodsource of fiber. Oh, andone more thing: it’s low incalories and has zero fator cholesterol.

“We knew you Yan-kees would be in a goodmood.”

That’s the explanationConfederate Lt. Gen.John C. Pemberton gaveto Union General UlyssesS. Grant when surrender-ing his army in Vicks-burg, Mississippi, duringthe Civil War.

For two months, the33,000-man Confederateforce repelled a 77,000-man Union force whileunder siege inside thefortress city of Vicks-burg. With supplies near-ly gone and no reinforce-ments coming, Pember-ton knew it was just amatter of time and the

need to surrender wasimminent.

Having been born inthe North, Pembertonwas well aware thatnortherners would be ina festive mood July 4.The bitterness of combatwould take a brief respitefor the holiday. Pember-ton chose that moment tooffer his surrender. Thedeaths of 8,000 menwould end the carnageand Grant would achievehis greatest battlefieldvictory of the war.

On the same date,Confederate Gen. JohnHunt Morgan launchedhis raid into Indiana andOhio. For the next 24days Hoosier and Buck-eye residents would ex-perience fear and anxi-ety as reports of Mor-gan’s Raiders ap-proached their towns.Morgan had a reputationas the Thunderbolt of theConfederacy. His 1,000-mile raid route throughKentucky, Indiana andOhio would be markedwith over 1,000 historicmonuments and direc-tional signs. In Ohioalone, there are morethan 50 wayside signsand 600 directional ar-rows installed last yearon the 150th anniversaryof the raid.

Civil War author Les-ter V. Horwitz will com-pare Grant with Morgan

at the Loveland Histori-cal Museum at 2 p.m.Saturday, May 17. Hor-witz is the author of “TheLongest Raid of the CivilWar.” This presentationcomparing Grant andMorgan will include al-most 100 historical im-ages of these two tower-ing Civil War personal-ities. Autographed copiesof Horwitz’s PulitzerPrize-nominated bookwill be available at thepresentation.

The museum is at 201Riverside Drive, Love-land. Admission is free.Donations are gratefullyaccepted. More informa-tion about Morgan’s Raidis available atwww.farmcourt.com.
