We’re able to get needed dirt on our site very cheap.” It happened quickly with good coordination from Drees, the current developer, the city, and a lot of other key people. Those people included geotech engineers, lawyers, excava- tors, contractors, city engi- neer and the public works di- rector.

A develop- ment agreement defines the terms for the exchange of property before the final deal is consummated. That agree- ment will first be reviewed by city council. “We’re about to get into this next stage,” Carroll said. “I an- ticipate having a development agreement in front of city council on Oct. 8.” City Manager Tom Carroll says the entire grassy area must be raised above the flood plain.

    Loveland High Schoolwill be transformed into ashantytown Thursday,Oct. 3.

    Senior Rachel Jones isleading a group of 40 stu-dents joining in the city-wide shantytown event toraise awareness of home-lessness throughout Cin-cinnati and in Loveland.October his homelessawareness month andcity-wide shantytown isanorganizedevent tohelpraise awareness of home-lessness in our own com-munities.

    Were going to besleeping overnight by thefootball field incardboardboxes that we put togeth-er ourselves, Jones said.

    The studentswill beginassembling their shanty-town at 5 p.m. Thursdaynightwith cardboard box-es, duct tape and flash-lights. Theyll each bringacanof soup for their ho-bo soup dinner. Laterthere will also be a show-ing of the movie Pursuitof Happiness which de-picts the true story of aman and his son strug-gling to get out of home-lessness. Before that, thestudents will hear from alocal man who was home-less.

    Hell share his storyand give us some feed-back about how it is,Jones said. Hell be ableto answer our questions.It will give us a lot moreinsight before we get toexperience it.

    Jones experienced thisshantytown event twoyears ago while a studentat Ursuline Academy be-fore transferring to Love-land High School. It in-spired her to bring thesame program to LHS.Along with a team of sev-eral other students, Ra-chel brought the idea tothe Tigers in Servicegroup at the school lastspring. It was approvedand faculty leader BethWexler has helped guidethe students in organizingthe event.

    They need to enjoywhat theyre doing, buttruly understand whytheyre doing it, and thendo something after so it is

    a lifelong commitment,not just onenight sleepingout at the high school,Wexler said. Its the kids,theyre doing it. Were fa-cilitating it, but it is thekids.Theyaredoing just asuper job. Theyve done afantastic job.

    They made cardboardsigns with printed factsabout homelessness. Fri-day morning theyll holdthose signs up for stu-dents, faculty and staff asthey arrive for school.Jones uses one statisticfrequently to deliver apowerful message. Itsays: On any given nightin Cincinnati, 13,000 peo-ple experience homeless-ness.

    On the night of Thurs-day, Oct. 3, 40 LovelandHigh School students willlearn what it is like to behomeless and sleep in acardboard box. Fridaymorning, wearing thesameclothes theyslept in,and without bathing, Ra-chel Jones hopes theyllleave a lasting impressionon fellow students, teach-ers and staff. Hearingfrom somebody who washomeless had the biggestimpact on her. She wasamazed to learn whathomeless people have togo through.

    People usually thinkof a homeless person do-ing drugs; that its theirfault, she said. Peopledont think it could be adisabled veteran or some-bodywith amental illnessdisowned by their family.There are endless possi-bilitiespeoplenever thinkabout.

    Friday morning theylleat bagels donatedby a lo-cal merchant. Theyll alsosell the donated bagels toraise funds to benefitFaceswithoutPlaces alocal organization that as-sists the homeless in Cin-cinnati.

    Four Loveland High Schoolgraduates were honored by theLoveland Schools Foundationduring the fourth distinguishedalumni banquet Saturday, Sept.7, at Montgomery Inn.

    Family, friends, faculty andformer classmates were onhand to see Valerie Newell,(1971) Pete Patterson, (1997)Mike Taylor, (1962) and JerryWood (1951) honored for theirachievements. Each onewas in-troduced by someone influen-tial in their lives. They all de-flected the spotlight away fromthemselves and shined it on theLoveland schools they saidshaped, formed, and preparedthem to achieve successes intheir lives.

    There were a lot of good ex-amples for me when I was atLoveland High School, Patter-son remarked during his accep-tance speech. He was the thirdmember from his 1997 graduat-ing class to be honored in thelast two years. Weve alreadyhad a couple others from theclass of 1997 honored as distin-guished alums. I wouldnt besurprised if there are more tocome.

    His 1997 classmates, BradHenderson and Seth Mitchell,were both honored by the foun-dation in 2012. Teacher and bas-ketball coach Tim Partin calledPatterson a passionate andhard worker during his intro-duction. That passion and hardwork ledhimoff thehigh schoolhardwoods, through StanfordLaw School and into the WhiteHouse,whereheservedasasso-

    ciate counsel to PresidentGeorge W. Bush. He continuestoworkwithmajor national liti-gation cases helping to shapethe legal system.

    Retired Loveland HighSchool teacherAveryFoster re-membered Valerie Newell as astudent who challenged bound-aries, but in a good way. Newellcarried that into her adult pro-fessional life following her 1971graduation. She has risen to thetop as awell-respectedmemberof the male-dominated world offinance. Married for over 30years, and mother of two sons,Newell has balanced career andfamily successfully.

    Keith Taylor said I remem-ber one teacher saying Youreno Mike Taylor, as he recalledthe challengeof following in thefootstepsofhisbrother.HesaysMike always did things in a bigway; like the timeheblewupthefamily home. After his 1962graduation, Mike made a markasasuccessfulattorney.Healsofollowed his passion for bar-beque; becoming a BBQ judge

    andco-foundingCityBarbeque.Maybethegreatest tribute to

    the influence Loveland schoolshad on the alums came formhonoree Jerry Wood. The 1951LHSgraduatebecameateacherand coach.

    I told my mom when I was6-years-old, Iwant tobea teach-er,Wood said during his accep-tance speech. Thats howmuchwe loved the teachers, and they

    loved us. We knew them, andthey knew us.

    Wood is retired followingmore than 30 years of teachingand coaching.Hewas loved andknown as a father figure to thestudents in his classroom andthe players on the teams hecoached. Some were on hand tohear him reflect on those mem-ories. At 80 years-old, he sayshes going to keep on reflecting.

    All the distinguished alumnihonored on Saturday eveningspoke of the legacy of learningin Loveland passed on to themby the teachers, coaches, par-ents, students and administra-tors of the schools.

    Its not all the good thingsyoudid for yourself,MikeTay-lor said. It is the things you didto help others. Thats your lega-cy.

    LOVELAND To equal lastseasons win total, the Love-land High School boys soccerteam will have to go on quite atear and make a deep postsea-son run.

    Down five first team all-league players from a yearago, including Player of theYear Jonny Williams, the oddsare against the Tigers.

    As opposed to 2012, thescoreboard operator at Love-land has not been nearly asbusy.

    Were a little inexperi-enced this year, coach MikeDunlap said. We had JonnyWilliams, Marty Bixler andKyle Mattes scoring 80 per-cent of ourgoals last year.A lotof these guys arent used toscoring goals, so we struggle.

    The struggle is all relative.Loveland has been very

    competitive in theEasternCin-cinnati Conference this seasonand their strength of scheduleis as good as anyones. Theyjust havent had that one con-sistent goal threat.

    The goals that wevescored have been from severalof our players, Dunlap said.Matt Vogt, Ryan Melink,Parker Preston have scored,but realistically, were reallyspread out.

    Dunlap does have a goodnumber of youthful players onhis squad, but the issue isnt allabout senior leadership.

    Ive got seniors, but inex-perienced seniors who didntget a lot of playing time lastyear, Dunlap said. Thats oneof the problems of having a

    strong senior class - some ofthe underclassmen dont get toplay.

    Last season, the Tigers gotout to a3-1start inAugust.Thisyear was sluggish at 1-2-3. TheTigers actually began with atrifectaof ties againstSt.Xavi-er, IndianHill andMcNicholas.

    Theyve also played Mason,LakotaEast,LakotaWest,Fair-field and Sycamore from theGreater Miami Conference.

    Our schedule is very toughfor a reason,Dunlap said, Wetake our lumps andwe seem tolearn a lot from it. Weve beenvery competitive. Sometimesthings just dont go our way.Sometimes we have troubleputting the ball in the net.

    Keeping the ball out of thenet this fall is seniorKyle Jarc.Spelling Jarc is juniorMathewNoland.

    Kyle has played probably

    70 percent of the starts, Dun-lap said.

    Juniors Ryan Melink andConner Wagner and sopho-more Joseph Lynch have allgivenLovelandconsistentplayand have a lot of room to grow.Lovelands senior captains areTyler Mikula, Brad Faust andGreg Bohn.

    Therest of theTigerseniorsare Matt Vogt, Ethan Conte,Alex Dzigiel, Brendan Dzigiel,Nate Johnston, Collin Melink,Parker Preston, Olisa Okaforand JaredWitt.

    I think they play hard andwe possess the ball prettywell,Dunlapsaidofhis squad.We do have trouble in our of-fensivethirdof thefield,butona given night, we can beat justabout anyone.

    Ahead for Loveland is ahome showdown with Turpinon Oct. 3.

    SYMMES TWP. His coachescall him The Professor.

    With good reason. CincinnatiHills Christian Academy seniorNick Marsh carries better thana four-point academic averagewith a schedule featuring APgovernment, AP microeconom-ics, AP statistics and AP envi-ronmental science.

    To say nothing of what theMarsh called his best subject -honorsEnglish -wherehe readssuch light fare as Dantes Infer-no. And while it is a Christianschool,Marsh isahellofaweap-on as a two-way player for head

    football coach Eric Taylor.Marsh leads the team in

    rushingyardsasa runningbackand is second on the team insacks at linebacker.

    And thats with him onlyplaying part time on offense,Taylor said. Wehave toget himsome rest somewhere, and wecant afford to give it to him ondefense, so he really splits timeatrunningback.Hesahigh-mo-tor kid.He doesnt stop.Hes re-lentless. Its not just football.Its in theweight room. Its inhisstudies. Its in his other sports.Thats his makeup. Hes a greatleader.

    Taylor tells a story ofMarshs freshmanyearwhenhe

    came to the coach during sum-merpracticesandasked tohaveplayersmeetingbefore thesea-son. Not only did the kid run themeeting - coming in preparedwith five pages of notes ongoals, expectations and sup-portingscripture togowith itall he made sure to e-mail team-mates parents to make surethey knew their sonswould be alittle late getting home that day.

    Now thats just unheard of,Taylor said. But thats the kindof leader and player hes beenfor us all four years.

    So maybe its not surprisingto discover Marsh gives others

    Up front has reallybeen great, Marsh said.Our line on both sides ofthe ball has been verygood. Theyve opened alot of holes for me to runand theyve occupied alot of linemen going theother way that let me get

    Protect Loveland Tigersfrom Common Core

    As a Loveland High grad-uate I take pride in my edu-cation here, and my educa-tion was more than adequatefor any job that I applied for.

    As time went on I neededmy well rounded educationbecause the job marketchanged constantly. Today Iam a retiree doing fine. Iwish the same for all futureTiger grads.

    However more federalstandards have been im-posed on schools and compe-tition between schools toproduce better students hasdisappeared and, since bigfederal school money is tiedto federal guidelines, weteach what federal officialswant us to teach.

    Common Core is the new-est federal chokehold andwill lower the bar again. Itdemands that psychologicalprofiles to be created foreach student which will beused when applying for jobsin the future, and it makesall graduates turn out thesame like an assembly line.The CC basic math will bethe complete undoing ofmany students, according tostudies.

    Many states are now drop-ping CC because of the crazyand scary elementary math.

    Do we Loveland gradswant this to be done to futureLoveland grads? Many otherstates are getting off of theCommon Core train so thatthey can produce studentswho will be able to competein a global job market. TheU.S. is 25th in educationstandings. Common Corewill lower the bar again willincreasing federal control.Do you really want this whileyour child is in Lovelandschools?

    Your school board is notallowed to say anything neg-ative about CC, and thatshould tell you a lot.

    Essential to keep SimsThe role of the Symmes

    Township fiscal officer is nota part time job. More impor-tantly, is not a job for some-one who just shows up formeetings.

    I've had the pleasure ofknowing and working withCarol Sims for almost 20years.

    In 1994 I was appointed asa founding member of theSymmes Township FinanceCommittee. It was immedi-ately clear that Carol had anintricate working knowledgeof the Township budget andfinancial issues. She readilyrecalled details during ourmeetings and helped guideus through the developmentof budgetary priorities.

    Carol's expertise didn'tstop with the township'sbudget and fiscal issues. In1998 I was appointed to theBoard of Zoning Appeals andfound that Carol was equallyfamiliar with zoning issuesand regulations.

    Carol is a hard workerwho rolls up her sleeves andgets the job done. She ispersistent and thorough, hasa keen eye for detail andknows how to interact withresidents for the publicgood.

    Keeping Carol Sims as theSymmes Township fiscal

    officer is essential. She hasthe experience and knowl-edge, and is extremely wellqualified to carry on thedaily tasks of the fiscal offi-cer.

    Cox helps makeLoveland special

    I have known Linda Coxfor 22 years.

    Linda, and her husband,Bob, support and volunteerat the Loveland Stage Com-pany. We both had the privi-lege of serving as ambassa-dors for our city as Valentineladies. We have worked righthere in the community, my-self as director of the Love-land Area Chamber of Com-merce, and Linda in theLoveland Schools and atLoveland City Hall.

    Linda and I enjoy volun-teering for local organiza-tions that strive to keepLoveland a great community.In fact, Linda is a volunteerextraordinaire serving as apast board member of theLoveland Historical Societyand the Loveland Arts Coun-cil and as an active memberof the Loveland WomansClub and several otherworthwhile community or-ganizations.

    Linda shares my deep feltlove and respect for thisbeautiful community weboth call home. When youvote Nov.5, keep Linda Coxon Loveland City Council.You will be voting to keep allthat is special and memora-ble about Loveland!

    Cox cares for publicsafety

    While I was in LovelandMiddle School, I watched theduel between pedestriansand motorists in severalcrosswalks along LebanonRoad. Both seem to haveforgotten how crosswalksare supposed to work underLoveland law. The result isan accident waiting to hap-pen in Loveland. Since Jan. 1,199 pedestrians have beenstruck in Cincinnati and 829in Ohio.

    My research showed thatcities across the country aretrying to Create a Cultureof Pedestrian Safety andthat there is a new solutionwith interim Federal High-way Administration approv-al for use in Ohio. LovelandCouncilwoman Linda Coximmediately understood mygoal and supported me whenI went before City Council torequest that pedestrian con-trolled LED beacons be in-stalled on Lebanon Road.The beacons were approvedby City Council sevenmonths after my first speechand were installed in August.Even in these early stages ofoperation, its clear that therelationship between motor-ists and pedestrians has beendramatically improved.

    I have enjoyed working toimprove my community andtheres much more to bedone to create a culture ofpedestrian safety. Since Imonly 14, I cant vote this year.If I could, I would definitelyvote for Linda Cox. She real-ly cares about public safety!

    LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

    Attorneys for Legal Aid andthe Volunteer Lawyers Projectrepresent low-income personswhose cases often have merit,but might otherwise be lost

    due to theirinability to payfor counseland the result-ing inadequateself-repre-sentation.

    The LegalAid Society ofGreater Cin-cinnati wasfounded morethan 100 yearsago in 1908. Its

    mission is to resolve seriouslegal problems of low-incomeindividuals, promote economicand family stability, and re-duce poverty through effec-tive legal assistance.

    Unlike the Hamilton CountyPublic Defenders Office,which represents defendantsin criminal cases, Legal Aidprovides legal services in civilcases. Legal Aid attorneysassist their clients in a broadvariety of situations includinghousing, employment, educa-tion and domestic problems.

    In 1982, the VLP was cre-ated in Cincinnati because thenumber of requests for legalservices outpaced Legal Aidscapacity to help. A joint effortof the Cincinnati Bar Associa-tion and Legal Aid, VLPrecruits private attorneys tohandle at least two pro bonocases each year. VLP attorneysand Legal Aid attorneys workon the same types of cases.

    In housing, Legal Aid andVLP attorneys help familiesavoid eviction, maintain utilityservice, and negotiate repairsby enforcing tenants legalrights and building, health andfire codes. These attorneysalso provide representation tohomeowners so they can avoidforeclosure and save theirhomes.

    In the employment arena,Legal Aid and VLP attorneyshelp low-income job seekersovercome barriers to employ-ment such as the loss of a driv-ers license or by the expunge-ment of a minimal criminalrecord. Attorneys also work tosecure unpaid wages or otherbenefits wrongly terminated.

    Legal Aid and VLP attor-neys also advocate for chil-

    dren by obtaining medicalbenefits, making sure schoolsaddress special educationneeds and helping childrenavoid suspension or expulsionfrom schools.

    The largest percentage ofVLP cases, in fact, pertains tofamily law issues. Domesticlegal problems of all types areaddressed such as divorce anddissolution, resolving custodyand visitation issues and secur-ing protection orders. Attor-neys also aid in probate mat-ters, immigration problemsand adoptions.

    Having seen many of thecases handled by Legal Aidand the VLP, I find that theparticipation of competentlegal counsel helps facilitate ajust and expedient result. Ifyou need legal assistance, theLegal Aid Society operates theLegal Aid Line. Each year,about 30,000 individuals con-tact the Legal Aid Line, andover 6000 clients obtain adviceand representation. Applicantsmay call 513-241-9400 to re-quest legal assistance.

    Sept. 25 questionShould college athletes be

    paid? If so, nowmuch? If not,why not?

    College athletes shouldreceive scholarships and sti-pends for play. A large per-centage of players come fromlow-income families that can-not financially support theathletes.

    The scholarships do notinclude extra money for dailyexpenses. As a result, a num-ber of players in recent timeshave resorted to sellingawards, autographs and ac-cepting cars and other favorsbecause they have no money.

    I do appreciate that com-mon sense and good judgmentalso play a role. However, howmany readers of the couldsurvive on no income?

    We all know that athletescannot not get jobs duringschool due to the demands ontheir schedules for training,practice and playing locallyand across country and thentheres studying, attendingclasses and homework.

    Come on, we all enjoywatching them perform andespecially winning. Lets payour college athletes!

    E.E.C.

    Yes, I believe athletes whoare requested to spend a stip-ulated number of days eachyear on campus or at a facility

    designated for athletic games/training should be paid a sti-pend for their time. The sti-pend should be uniform foreach sport and designed tocover expenses not paid by thecollege/university.

    Todays athletes in somesports do not have summers tothemselves during which theycan earn extra spending mon-ey. Many are from homeswhere money is in short sup-ply. This stipend should coverrecreation, food and, bookswhich are not furnished bytheir school.

    As a non-athlete attendingcollege from a poor home Iremember many days where Iexisted on one candy bar allday in order to have bus farefor my trip home. I can un-derstand why some kids areforced to sell their jerseys inorder to pay for a weekenddate.

    Sure, they get a free educa-tion that others pay dearly for,but their life should not be thatof a total drudger. And, need Imention the money they bringin at some schools.

    Because some schools losemoney on athletics, to pay ornot pay should be voluntaryand the amount set by theNCAA or other governingsports organization to whichthe school belongs.

    T.J.

    College athletes gettingpaid for field/court perfor-mances? Nope!

    This is part of their educa-tional experience and if anycompensation is granted thatmoves into the professionallevel, and the pricing of a col-lege game or event would becost prohibitive as it is nowwith professional sports.

    Maybe a reduction on theirtuition maybe, but not compen-sation!

    O.H.R.

    College athletes on schol-arship already are paid in theform of an education. Problemis they are also very oftenenticed into coming to a cer-tain school for other reasonsthan to play a sport and get aneducation boosters offerbribes of money, sex, and vari-ous things they shouldnt beoffering.

    Browsing or buying, patronsandpeoplepassingbystreamedsteadily through Nisbet Park toview the 17th annual LovelandArt Show there Sunday, Sept. 8.

    Everyyear it seems togrowand we get some really top-notch artists coming back forthe show. Its exciting, saidMary Karg, who has exhibitedher art in the jewelry categoryfor 13 years. The park is full.Its been a good crowd.

    The steady stream of visi-tors started before the show of-ficially began at 11 a.m. It washot, but the sunny Sunday pro-vided another perfect canvassfor more than 75 artists to dis-play their works.

    Other thanbeinghot, I thinkit is fantastic, said Linda Cox,Loveland city council member,who enjoyed seeing the differ-ent types of art and all the peo-ple shopping while browsingwith her husband, Bob.

    Judges awarded $2,000 inprizes for art selected as Bestof Show, and top three in fourdifferent categories. Ribbonswere awarded for first-, sec-ond-, and third-place choices inpainting, drawing, all media; inphotography, prints, collage; inwood, glass, ceramics, sculp-ture, and in wearable art, fiber,jewelry.

    Karg works in glass, metal,and beads to design her cre-ative jewelry pieces. She triesto have fundoingwhat she likesand hoping someone else willlike it enough to plunk downtheir hard-earned cash for it.Selling the art is what makestheshowasuccess forKargandfor the other artists exhibiting.At the same time, they admitjust having people visit, look,and offer a compliment is verynice too.

    I love it, its fun, TeresaSchmid said. Shes appliedthree times andmade it into theshow three times with her pho-tography. It was busy beforewe opened. Thatwas amazing. Ijust like it when the peoplecome in, look at my work, andcomment on it. If they enjoywhat I do, that makes me hap-py.

    Judges made Ginny Tilbury

    veryhappy, awardingher Bestof Show for her paintings. Notonly established artists benefitfrom the opportunity to exhibitsurrounded by the naturalbeauty of Nisbet Park on a sun-ny day, Loveland Arts Councilencourages future artists too.

    The youth exhibit, for bud-ding young artists from age 5-18, offered some quality andunique art during the show. TheKids Korner provided funcrafts and games for kids of allages throughout the day.

    JeffreyMoorewasoneof thethousandsofpeople frominandaround Loveland who enjoyed

    spending a Sunday afternoonlooking at art in the park.Though he has never exhibitedhis own work in the show, as apainter, he had an especiallykeen eye for the paintings of17-year-old, David Hamwho camefrom Burlington, Kentucky toshow.

    There is one really excel-lent painting, Moore said.There is a young man namedDavid Ham. He is the greatestportrait artist Ive seen. BestIve seen almost anywhere. Itsjust a wonderful opportunity tosee local artists, and see whatthey do. They are wonderful.

    The paintings of Ginny Tilbury earned her "Best of Show" in the LovelandArt Show at Nisbet Park in Loveland. THANKS TO EDWARD AUFDEMKAMPE

    Wewere in Pennsylva-nia this past weekend forthe Mother Earth NewsFair, where I was a pre-senter. My topic wasBible herbs and foods forvibrant health and lon-gevity, and it was a wellreceived presentationwith lots of interactionwith the participants.

    I had several differentkinds of onions on handto talk about since onions

    are men-tioned inthe Bookof Num-bers andone of themosthealthfulveggies.One ladymentionedthat onionsplanted

    next to cabbage makegood garden companions,keeping both healthy.Then another personspoke up about potatoes.

    Plant them next tocorn and theyll both dogreat, he said. Strangelyenough, thats how weplanted our onions thisyear, not having a cluethey were good for eachother. Maybe thats whythe onions we dug up forthis German potato salad

    were so tasty. And nextyear well plant the pota-toes next to the corn.

    Oktoberfest Germanpotato salad

    This is as close as Ican get to the recipe ofmy Germanmother-in-law, Clara. Easy andreally good. I used redpotatoes for this recipe.If you use baking pota-toes, which contain morestarch, they will soak upmore of the dressing.

    8 slices bacon (I used thicksliced), cut into littlepieces then sauteed (savedrippings)

    1 heaping cup chopped

    onion1-2 ribs celery, chopped (iftheyre real long, use one,more can be added if youlike)

    2 tablespoons flour23 cup cider vinegar or totaste

    1 cup water13 cup sugar or to tasteSalt and pepperAbout 8 cups sliced cookedpotatoes (cook, then sliceinto 14-inch pieces)

    Cook onion and celeryin about 4 tablespoonsbacon drippings untiltender, but dont let onionbrown. Celery may stillbe crisp. Sprinkle flourover and blend. Mixture

    may be a bit lumpy. Addvinegar and water andcook, stirring until bub-bly and slightly thick.Stir in sugar, cook about5 minutes or so. Stir inpotatoes and bacon, heatthrough, stirring to coatpotatoes. Season. Servewarm or room temper-ature. May be made acouple days ahead.

    Slaw stuffedpeppers

    Fluffy meringue: If alittle bit of egg yolk getsinto my whites when Imake meringue, and if Iremove it, will the whitesstill whip up?

    This is a tricky one. Iftheres just a teeny bit ofyolk and you can get it allout, the whites seem tobeat up fine. But I wouldonly do that if I had noother eggs. And it maynot work in all recipes.Egg whites must be com-pletely fat-free to whip

    properly. And the bowlyou whip them in shouldbe, too. When in doubt,wipe out the bowl with abit of vinegar to removeany traces of fat, rinseand dry. Youll get bettervolume with room tem-perature whites.

    The Home DepotFoundation announcedaninvestment in the nation-widenetworkof tool lend-ing programs that ithelped launch in 2008.

    Eight ToolBanksacross the U.S. havejoined ToolBank USA tocreate agrowingnetworkof massive tool lendingoperations that ensurecharities have access tothe tools they need with-out spending precious do-nateddollars to buy, storeand maintain them. TheCincinnati ToolBank hasbeen lending tools toequip service projectssince July 9, 2012.

    Each communitysToolBank serves hun-dreds of nonprofit or-ganizations that are pre-serving greenspaces,

    building affordable hous-ing, and putting volun-teers to work with hands-on projects, explainedKelly Caffarelli, presi-dent of The Home DepotFoundation. Their inno-vate tool lending modelprovides organizationssuch as The 6th Branch,which deploys militaryveterans to tackle diffi-cult community serviceprojects, a cost-effectiveway to use the tools need-ed for their projectswith-out having to purchase,maintain and storethem.

    The rise of the Tool-Bank network reflects agrowing sophistication inthe charitable sector andamong donors who ex-pect greater efficiencyand results from the non-

    profits they support. In2012, the four operatingToolBanks loaned morethan $1.6 million in toolsto charities, equippingmore than 73,000 volun-teers for use in serviceprojects. With four addi-tional ToolBanks project-ed to open in 2014, Tool-Bank impact is growingrapidly.

    We are working to-ward a nation in whichthere is no longer a short-age of tools for those or-ganizations that aretransforming communi-ties, said ToolBank USACEO Mark Brodbeck.TheAmericanvolunteerspirit is indomitable, andtool scarcity is a realproblem to which theToolBank is a simple andaffordable solution.

    This $150,000 grant isthe third investment byTheHomeDepot Founda-tion since the founding of

    ToolBank USA in 2008.ToolBanks lend tools inAtlanta, Baltimore, Char-lotte and Cincinnati.

    Challenge is a networkof Catholic clubs andcamps for girls in fifth-through 12th-grade whowant to grow not only intheir Catholic faith andfriendship with Christ,but to make a differencein the world around them.It is designed to help ado-lescent girls go out intothe world as strong andauthentic role modelswhere they can make apositive impact.

    Challenge has beenhosting a camp at PottersRanch in Union, KY, forthe past seven years, sidPattySteele, challengeco-ordinatorforSt.Margaretof York Catholic Church.

    College and highschool girls volunteer aweek of their summer tobe team leaders for thefifth- to eighth-gradecampers, Steele said.Some team leaders arefrom as far away as Den-ver, Atlanta andMexico!

    Potters Ranch wilder-nessretreat facilityexiststo provide the most bene-ficial environment to de-velop our nations mostvaluable resources ouryouth, adults and fam-ilies. This years Chal-lenge themewas Life is aConstellation of Connec-tions.

    The seventh- and

    eighth-graders did an ar-ray of activities such as arock climbing wall, ar-chery, zip lining, creek-ing, along with watergames by the creek,Steele said. They alsohad a hayride at dusk inwhich they were able tosee lots of animals!

    Although creekingwasAbby Paxtons favoriteactivity, she enjoyed sit-ting around the campfiresinging as one of the teamleaders played the guitar.

    Challenge camp gaveme a chance to hang outwith my friends andmeetother girls while gettingcloser to Jesus andhavingfun at the same time,added Annasofia Scheve.

    The fifth- and sixth-graders went horsebackriding, zip lining, creek-ing as well, in addition togoing on scavengerhunts.It was during one of thecreeking activities at BigBone Lick State Park that10-year-old Loveland resi-dent Alyssa Hoffman losther shoe. While trying tolocate the lost shoe in thecreek, she found a bonefrom the Ice Age.

    Alyssa found a Pleis-tocene bison antiquusbone during the creekwalk, said Todd Young,naturalist at Big BoneLickStateHistoricSite. I

    have been doing the pro-gram with the kids forfive years now and whilemodern bones have beenfound, this is the firstPleistocene bone everfound.Wedontdothepro-gram to find bones, justevery once in a greatwhile something is foundwhile we are looking forand talking about otheraquatic animals.

    The Pleistocene re-mainsdateback to the lastIce Age, Young said.While Idonothaveanac-tual carbon date for thehumerusbone, the layer itwas in where Alyssafound it, dates backaround 15,000-19,000years ago. Thatmakes thefind pretty significantand something that is

    rarely found even whenactual excavations are go-ing on. The bone is cur-rently drying out.

    The drying out processshould be completed bythe first week or two ofSeptember.

    Of course, finding thebone was a highlight inHoffmans Challenge ex-perience. However, shesaid it was a really funexperience and I enjoyedlearning more about myfaith and the Eucharisticwalk through the woods.

    I like Challenge Campbecause itwasagreatwayto learn about God . Westarted (the day) withprayer and ended withprayer every day, includ-ing daily Mass, said Sa-rah Heard, a SMOY stu-

    dent. We made goals atthebeginningofcampandworked to accomplishthem through teamworkthroughout the week. Ialso learned that you cando good things withoutpeople noticing - - even ifpeople dont notice; it isstill worth (doing) it be-causeGod notices. Imadea lot of new friends andgrew stronger with oldfriends. The activitieswere lots of fun, too. I en-joyed zip lining, horse-back riding, and thewatergames. Iwant to becomeastronger Catholic (Chris-tian) and I want you to beone too!

    I went to ChallengeCamp without knowingwhat to expect, with it be-ing my first time, saidEmily Glover, also aSMOY student. We did alot of activities, includinghorseback riding, zip lin-ing, and went to a park(Big Bone State Park).The counselors were somuchfuntobearoundandI really looked up to them.I grew inmy faith a lot byexperiencing the Eucha-ristic Walk and connect-ing with new friends. Ihope I can go back nextyear.

    Maddie Nagel said:There is not a part of theday when you are not do-

    ing anything. You are al-ways doing somethingfun! My favorite thingwas the zip line. The teamleaders were fun and didactivities with us. I got tomeet a lot of new friendsfrom different places anddifferent schools.

    The scavenger huntsserved as a means to por-tray analogies regardingcharity and ways to over-come bullying. Thesewere someof SMOYfifth-grade student Nora Mey-ers favorite activities.we went to each scav-enger station and found aperson who needed ourhelp. If a person was shy,then we sang a song tomake her feel at ease. Wealso helped others under-stand how she had giftstoo by helping her under-stand her talents. We alsospent time overcomingour fears through zip lin-ing with the theme of theskys the limit.

    Interwoven within allthe fun activities and con-necting with others, thegirls have the opportunitytogotoMassdaily,experi-ence a Eucharistic pro-cession through thewoods, and daily gospelreflections, Steele said.Through challenge, in-deed Life is a constella-tion of connections.
