After months of debate anddelays and amidst resident con-cerns, the Loveland Station de-velopment project is movingforward again with the full sup-port of city council.
Loveland City Councilpassed a resolution to makechanges to the developmentagreement and an ordinance totransfer the land to developerJimCohenby a 7-0 vote at a spe-cial meeting Oct. 7.
Though council all voted infavor, residents who spoke dur-ing the public hearing beforethevote,weresplit on thedevel-opment.
Tim Canada, owner of BondFurniture, 113 Karl BrownWay,criticized the large investmentin the project the city hasmade.
“It is irresponsible for thetaxpayers ofLoveland to lose $2million of their hard-earnedmoney on this,” Canada said.
Councilwoman Angie Settell
said past Loveland administra-tion borrowedmoney to buy theproperty for$2million.Thecityis selling it to Cohen for$180,000.
“By that land sitting vacant,there is not one cent we are re-
ceiving from it. In return forselling this property, we mightnot like the figure, but we willget in its place a $10 million de-velopment,” Settell said. She

After construction was delayed for more than a month and the closing datehad to be pushed back, the Loveland Station development project indowntown Loveland is moving forward with the support of city council.
Trouble finding parking in downtown Loveland is not a new problemfor residents, but many raised concerns that the Loveland Station devel-opment could cause an increase.“We are looking into the traffic and parking concerns and the city has
a plan,” Councilwoman Pam Gross said to residents at the meetingabout Loveland Station.The city has qualified for a grant and it plans to use the money to
build a parking facility at the city-owned McCoy property, south ofBroadway Street and west of the Little Miami Scenic Bike Trail.“That property plan has the potential to have more than 100 parking
spaces,” Gross said.Mayor Linda Cox said the city will be looking at the plans when it sets
the 2015 budget in the next few months.The city has also established the Downtown Parking Advisory Commit-
tee, which is working on long-term parking solutions for the downtown.Gross said the committee will be presenting to council in November.The next parking committee meeting is on Oct. 15 at 7:30 p.m. at city
hall.

MIAMI TOWNSHIP — A pro-posed zone change to allow con-struction of 200 single-familyhomes on one of the township’slastremainingdevelopmentpar-cels will be heard by the MiamiTownship Rural Zoning Com-mission next month.
HPA Development GroupInc.’s proposal to rezone the88.62-acre Diekmeyer Farm sothat the Willow Brook FarmsSubdivision could bebuiltwas tobe heard Oct. 2. However, astanding room only crowd of164showed up, prompting the Mi-ami Township Rural ZoningCommission to reschedule thehearing in a larger venue, theMilford High School cafeteria.Thehearing isnowset forNov.6.
Developers say the infillneighborhood, which would benext to several subdivisions,would tie inwith adjacent neigh-borhoods and fill a need for highquality housing in the township.Their plan calls for 140 lots atleast 70 feet wide and 60 “estatelots” thatwouldbeaminimumof90feetwideandcouldaccommo-date a side entry garage. The de-velopment at the corner ofBranchHill Guinea Pike and thesouth side of Weber Road alsowould include a landscaped en-trance, sidewalks on both sides
of the streets, street lights, and17.65 acres of open space, thede-velopers say in their application.
The developer plans to pre-sent a detailed traffic study tothe township by next month’shearing.
Critics, who include 320 pet-itioners, are concerned about anumber of issues, including thepossibility of future multi-fam-ilyhousingon thesitebyanotherdeveloper if an R-PUD (single-family residential planned unitdevelopment) overlay is ap-proved, as well as the develop-ment’s impact on property val-ues. They say many nearbyproperties have been rezoned inthe last 15 to 20 years to allow ahigher density, which hascaused traffic congestion.
Steve Bosse, a landscape ar-chitect, planner and developerwho lives in the nearby PaxtonSouth Subdivision, says hedoesn’t oppose developing the
Diekmeyer Farm, but he added,“It’s got to be the right plan.”
Before a zone change is ap-proved, Bosse said the develop-er should be required to makemajor road improvements, asWeber Road “can’t handle thecurrent traffic load much lesshandleanadditional 200homes.”He also called for recreationalamenities for the residentialcommunity, as well as the sub-mission of detailed landscapeplans and a detailed flood andstorm water study to gauge theimpact on surrounding neigh-borhoods that have struggledwith flooding before any zonechange is granted.
Bosse and other critics alsohave questioned the developer’sclaim that the subdivisionwouldhave 17.65 acres of open space,as the developer has indicatedtwo acres would be given to the

added the developmentwill expand the city’s taxbase by bringing in newresidents and will gener-atemoney from the com-mercial aspects.
Loveland Station, for-merly called River TrailFlats, will have 94 apart-ments,15,000 square feetof commercial space and232 parking spaces, 80 ofwhichwill be public. Theproject is being develop-ment by CMC Proper-ties.
Canadasaid thedevel-opment does not have
enough parking spacesfor the amount of newresidents and visitors itwill bring into the down-town.
Almost all residentswho spoke expressedconcerns about parking.
Loveland residentChad Powers said theparking problem can befrustrating, but pointedout it is better for resi-dents to have to drivearound for a fewminutesto find a spot than havingan empty downtown.
“We need to try andmake something workhere. Ifwedon’t seize op-portunities we have theywill just keep passingover us,” Powers said.
Councilwoman Pau-letteLeepersaidwith theamount of time andmon-ey the city has pouredinto the development itwould have been reck-less tonotvote for thede-velopment.
“While this develop-ment is not perfect, it hasto move forward. If thecity continues on the suc-cessful path it is on…allof us have to work to-gether to fix the parkingand traffic concerns,”Councilwoman PamGross said.
Despite passing unan-imously on at the Oct. 7meeting, the resolutionwas failed by council inApril and then tabledthree times. Council hadto have two specialmeet-ings to get the ordinancepassed and had to movethe closing date on theproject from Sept. 30 toOct. 8.
Mayor Linda Cox saidthe project started in2011 when the city re-zoned the land to allowfora large-scaledevelop-ment. Since then, the cityhas worked with threedifferent developers andhad three developmentplans. The developmenthas also had two namesthe original LovelandStation name waschanged to River TrailFlats. But, the resolutionchanged it back to Love-land Station.

Police say a woman’sestranged husband shotand killed her boyfriendthen himself in ClermontCounty Oct. 6.
“It was a murder-sui-cide,” Miami Twp. assis-tant Police Chief MikeMills said. “The estrangedhusband shot the new loveinterest and then took hisown life.”
Police responded to the5400 block of WolfpenPleasantHillRoad just be-fore 6 a.m after a womanmade a frantic 911 call.
“My husband’s bipolar.He came in and killed myboyfriend and he justkilled himself,” ShannonWaitas told a ClermontCounty dispatcher.
“I need anambulance, Ineed them right now. Mychildren arehere.OhGod,please hurry.”
Police believe Waitasand her children weresleeping when John Wai-tas entered the home andstarted shooting.
“He just killed himselfin my room,” ShannonWaitas said in the 911 call.
Robert Dyer was shotand killed before JohnWaitas took his own life,police said.
“Hecameherewith theintent to kill, and he didthat and tookhis own life,”Mills said.
The one-story home’sdoor hung open Mondaymorning as police movedin and out. Inside, whiteChristmas lights could beseen through a bay win-dow.
Hours earlier, Dyer
was bleeding from a gun-shot to the head and Shan-non Waitas was begginghim not to die.
Police are not sure howlong the couple had beenestranged.
“It was back and forthoveracoupleyears,”Millssaid.
Shannon Waitas calledpolice several times sinceshe and her husband wereestranged, Mills said. Shetold police her husband,who did not live with her,needed to be hospitalizedbecause he intended toharm himself.
Wanda Lewis, 68, livesacross the street fromwhere shooting happened.
Lewis visited the housebefore for garage sales,but did not know the vic-tims.
Several children wholived in the home ap-peared to be pre-teens,she said.
Lewis saw emergencyvehicles arrive at thehomeMonday morning.
“My first thought was,we have a really bad bendright down the street, somaybe itwasanaccident,”she said. “I leave early inthe morning to go get mygrand kids off to school anthis is usually a very, veryquiet little part (of town).”
Lewis said most of herneighbors are elderly, andthe street is usually se-rene.
“We’re so quiet inhere,” she said. “The am-bulance coming in for asick person is about it.”
Less than a mile awayfrom the scene, anothermurder-suicide occurredtwo years ago.

Loveland’s girls soccer team won a second consecutive Eastern Cincinnati Conference Oct. 7 with a 2-1 victoryover Turpin.
LOVELAND — He played ineight of LovelandHigh School’s15 consecutive football victo-ries on their way to the 2013 Di-vision II championship.
This season, hehad to call it ayear after four.
Whilehis teammateshad tre-mendous luck in their unblem-ished run to the title a year ago,Nate Slagel has not been as for-tunate.
After 1,340 yards and 18rushing touchdowns last sea-son,No. 47 tore his anterior cru-ciate ligament before halftimeof a 63-15 rout of Walnut HillsOct. 18, 2013. This season, afterrehabbing religiously to returnto the Tigers’ backfield, he hadto exit in the first half againstGlen Este Sept. 18 after scoringtwice.
The injury?Torn ACL. Same injury. Dif-
ferent knee.His last prep run was a 44-
yard gallop to the Loveland endzone.
“They’re identical,” Slagelsaid of the injuries. “No menis-cus or cartilage damage. It hap-pens. It’s a sport. In football, ev-ery timeyoustepon thefield it’sa risk.”
He would like to still play incollege and could be a bargainfor a school that would take achance. Statistically, he offers ahandsome resume.
In 12 games in Loveland’sbackfield over a two-year span,he ran for 1,671 yards and 21touchdowns. That’s an averageof139.5yardspergame.Prior tocoach Fred Cranford’s arrival,he started for Loveland’s defen-sive line as a sophomore.
However, everything’s onthe back burner as the resilientsenior begins another recovery.He estimates last season’s reha-bilitation at five months and isplanning an even quicker re-turn this time.
Blessed with bursting speedthat he hopes to revive, Slagelplans on getting healthy enoughto revisit Loveland’s trackteam. While he didn’t run lastspring as he prepared for hisfootball return, his sophomorenumbers in the100meters (10.9)and long jump(22’ 01.75”)wouldhave led the Eastern CincinnatiConference last season.
Alongwith thephysical reha-bilitation, there’s themental re-habilitation.Orthopedists annu-ally deal with high school ath-letes in many disciplines whowill miss a season with an ACLtear. Missing most of two sea-sons with the same injury issomewhat rare.
“It’s just unlucky,” Slagelsaid. “It is what it is.”
By halftime in the game hewas injured, Slagel was on thesideline on crutches, eating piz-za and seemingly in good spir-its. Experience and maturityled him to keep the focus on the
game.Adversity has brought him
determination; a quality in-stilled by having a father in theU.S. Marine Corps. His familyhas provided great emotionalsupport.
The recent sad news of localfootball players Chamoda Ken-
nedy-Palmore (Lakota East,UC) and Brayden Thornbury(Little Miami) passing in acci-dents has also weighed on hismind.
“The tragedy at LittleMiami- my Dad bought me a shirt,”Slagel said. “It all puts things inperspective.”
Now, instead of blazing bylinemen, linebackersanddefen-sivebacks, he’s back to support-ing his friends as they do thesame. As an emotional leader,he remains optimistic.
“We still have a season aheadof us,” Slagel said. “We can stillmake some stuff happen.”
Loveland senior Nate Slagel rolls for a touchdown Sept. 18 against Glen Este. His final high school play was a44-yard scoring run.
The rainy weather Fridaynight didn’t deter the Lovelandfootball team.
The Tigers won their second-straight game on Oct. 10 with a41-8 win over visiting Withrow.Loveland (4-3 overall, 3-1 East-ern Cincinnati Conference) keptits Division II playoff hopesalive with the win.
“(We) played at a high leveldespite weather elements,”Loveland coach Fred Cranfordsaid. “(The) defense got off thefield quick and put lots of pres-sure onWithrow.”
Loveland sophomore runningback Luke Waddell had 11 car-ries for137 yards and two touch-downs. He also had a receivingtouchdown.
Junior quarterback DrewPlitt threw for 104 yards andthree touchdowns.
The Loveland defense al-lowed just 100 yards of total of-fense.
Junior defensive linemanJake Saunders – who recentlyearned his second Big Ten offerfrom Northwestern – had twosacks against Withrow.
Loveland needs to win the re-mainder of its games to qualifyfor the Division II, Region 6playoffs, according to EnquirerprojectionsanalystSteveShuck.
Loveland next plays at Wal-nutHills at 7 p.m.Oct.18. TheTi-gers hostTurpinOct. 24 andplayat Milford in the regular-seasonfinale Oct. 31.
The following is asubmitted summary forLoveland girls varsitysoccer.
Loveland extendedits record to 12-2-2 andcaptured the ECC Titlewith a 2-1 win at TurpinOct. 7.
The Tigers carriedmomentum from re-cent wins over Ameliaand Kings into their fi-nal game, which ulti-mately determined theconference champion.Loveland’s defense –Bailey George, MeganSchuster, Hannah Fish-er, and Rachel Ernst –has been strong all
year, and only yielded asecond half goal to Tur-pin.
Theyworked togeth-er with goalie TaylorThole, in only her sec-ond start, to limit Tur-pin. Corryne Swift pro-vided the scoring forLoveland as she bene-fitted from thewet con-ditions on a free kickand later scored on across from Claire Ber-an.
Loveland looks tocarry this momentuminto the district tourna-ment where they hostthe winner of St Ursulaand Talawanda.

SIDELINES
KENWOOD —They playin a league where any ofthe four teams could con-ceivably win a state title.
Moeller High School,defendingDivision I statechampions the past twoyears, has their work cutout for them this seasonand every season.
From Sept. 26-Oct. 10they were at St. Xavier, atLa Salle, then home withElder. All are projectedplayoff teams.
And, if you thinkthere’s great disparity inDivision I andDivision II,it was the DII Lancers offof North Bend that hand-ed the Crusaders theirfirst loss of the seasonOct. 3, 34-9.
“We’re just trying toget better every day anddo our thing,” Rodenbergsaid. “I keep looking atour schedule and there’ssome tough teams aheadof us.”
At Moeller, there’s aplayoff game each week-end.
Ahead are more Ohioplayoff-projected teamsin Lakewood St. EdwardandClevelandSt. Ignatiusand Kentucky power-house Louisville Trinity.Moeller has already de-feated another perennialBluegrass power inLouis-ville St. Xavier.
“Those wins early inthe season are crucial forus,” Rodenberg said. “Weget everyone’s best shot.We just have to take it one
game at a time and beme-ticulous in preparing foreach team.”
It certainly is coach-speak, but when a rareloss makes the otherteam’s season, it’s a logi-cal approach.
This year’s quarter-back is Matt Crable, whobided his time behindGusRagland, who bided histimebehindSpencer Iaco-vone. Biding his time be-hind Crable is junior TomMacVittie, who has com-pleted eight of ninepasses, but now is catch-ing them to help the Cru-saders’ offense.
“Matt (Crable) hasdone a great job,” Roden-berg said. “He managesthe game well. He has a

“We’ve got someweap-ons at wide receiver, itjust depends on who theywant to shut down,” Ro-denberg said.
Ditto at tight end withBates and Hausmann,both Division I recruits.Hausmann was a raresophomore starter at
Moeller and has beenranked as the No. 2 tightend in the country bysome services.
The running game hasbeen led by a pair of 5-foot-8 backs in junior De-metrius Yett and seniorSterling Noes. The Cru-saders were concernedwith a young offensiveline (two sophomores anda junior) but overall,they’ve performed well.
When they can’t scoretouchdowns, Moeller hasbeen able to get on theboard, thanks to accuratejunior kicker Matt Cogh-lin. Against St. Xavier, hehelped the Crusaders pullaway with a 47-yard ef-fort.

OCTOBER 15, 2014 • LOVELAND HERALD • A7SPORTS & RECREATION
SPRINGFIELD TWP. —Some players thrive onthe big stage, when thelights are brightest. EnterBen Glines.
The St. Xavier seniorrunning back’s season hasbeen anything but easy.That’s expected when youplay in the Greater Catho-lic League South.
In week one (a 35-20win over East St. Louis),Glines, who finished with126 yards and three TDs,suffered a high anklesprain. It’s a nagging inju-ry, especially for a run-ning back, and it ham-pered him.
According to St. Xcoach Steve Specht, the
ankle bothered Ben untiltheOct. 3meetingwithEl-der.
“Itwasn’tuntil thispastweek against Elder whereBen was 100 percent. Wesaw the old Ben,” Spechtsaid.
Glines, in a return toform, carried it 24 timesfor a season-high 172yards and three TDsagainst the Panthers, inThe Pit. That’s the secondseason in a rowGlines hastotaled more than 170yards on the groundagainst rival Elder.
TheBombers have alsobeen dealing with injuriesat the quarterback posi-tion. Starting quarter-back, Sean Clifford, suf-feredaconcussionagainstMoeller. Then backup
quarterback, DanielKeyes, suffered a concus-sion. So, the Bomberswent with Ben at quarter-back in thewildcat forma-tion. Glines didn’t disap-point.
“He (Glines) wants theball in his hands,” saidSpecht. “He wants it asmuch as he can.”
The Boston Collegecommit tied the game, 21-21, with three minutes toplay on a 34-yard run toforceovertime.Afterbothteams traded fieldgoals inthe first overtime, Glineshelped hammer down adecisive eight-point leadwith a five-yard touch-down run, followed by atwo-point conversion run.
“He’s a slasher, does areally nice job finding the
seem,” said Specht. “He’svery physical, but he’salso got an extra gear.”
Over the years, Glines(6-foot-1, 195) has provenhis versatility, always do-ing what’s been asked ofhim.
As a sophomore,Glinesplayed cornerback for theBombers. Boston Collegerecruitedhimasawidere-ceiver, according toSpecht, but they ended uplisting him as an athletebecausehecandosomanydifferent things.
“His best days are infront of him; he’s got abright future,” saidSpecht.
“We knew from thetime he got here that hewould be a special playerfor us.”

My name is Fred Kundrataand I am the Democratic nomi-nee for U.S. Congress in Ohio’s1st District, challenging in-cumbent Republican U.S. Rep.Steve Chabot.
I believe that bipartisanleadership is desperately need-ed to create jobs and tostrengthen the economy inCincinnati and Southwest Ohio.
Wemust recognize that jobcreation and the economy isthe No. 1 priority. You probablyknow someone who just gradu-ated college or high school andcannot find a job. They want toseek the American Dream.They want to perhaps get mar-ried one day, buy a home, andstart a family, but they needgood paying jobs to do so.
America needs leaders who
bring peopletogether tosolve difficultchallenges inour changingworld. Ohioranks 47th outof 50 states injob creation.We need tohave a plan torevitalize ourlocal economy
and keep Southwest Ohio’shuman capital at home.
The next congressman fromOhio’s 1st District should cre-ate a Bipartisan Jobs Leader-ship Team that will bring to-gether Democrats, Repub-licans and independents; busi-ness, labor, and communityleaders, and citizens, to focus
on job creation and improvingopportunities for district resi-dents.
The goal would be to bringthese groups together in aroundtable environment. Nosingle element of the groupwill have supremacy over theothers. The Bipartisan JobsLeadership teamwill feature ashared leadership structuredrawn from each of the groupsabove.
Today, there are too manyU.S. representatives who haveneglected their constituents infavor of partisan politics. Wecan start bipartisanship here athome in the Cincinnati area.We need everyone workingtogether; Democrats, Repub-licans and independents, com-mitted to getting things done.
Extreme polarization is killingprogress in the U.S. Congress.
Based on the nonpartisanNational Journal’s annual voteratings, only four out of 535members of the House andSenate are considered in theideological middle. The “ideo-logical middle” in this case isdefined as falling between themost conservative Democratand the most liberal Repub-lican. By contrast, in 1982, 344members of Congress, or 79percent, fell in the ideologicalmiddle.
The lack of overlap betweenthe two parties is seen as aprimary cause of gridlock inWashington today. It comes asno surprise that the U.S. Con-gress has an approval ratingunder 15 percent.
In those same National Jour-nal ratings, based on an analy-sis of key votes in 2013, myopponent was rated the No. 1most conservative member ofCongress. As the CincinnatiEnquirer’s own Deirdre Shes-green points out, Steve Chabot“wears the conservative labelproudly. ‘There’s not a lot ofroom to my right!’ The West-wood Republican declared.”
The U.S. Congress and the1st District need bipartisanleadership, and commitment toworking together to create astronger economy. The Biparti-san Jobs Leadership Team canbe a first step in the right di-rection.
Fred Kundrata is running for Con-gress from Ohio’s First District.

Oct. 2 questionWhat is the best fall event or

it unique?
“For me fall is the culmina-tionofa lot of thewondersofna-ture. The trees turning colorand then dropping their leaves,perennial plants hibernating or
completely disappearing, yetwe know they will be resurrec-ted in the spring. I miss thesmell of burning leaves fromchildhood. Perhaps we canbring back that tradition?
“I look forward to takingsome nice hikes in the Cincin-nati Nature preserve, which Irecommend to all. Fall obvious-ly leads us towinter, a time dur-ing which the wimps of Cincin-nati cry incessantly about howfrigid it is, even if only 32 de-grees. Wear a coat people andget over it. Yes it will snow, butno, two inches of snow does notmean we shut down the world.Buy a shovel. But enough aboutwimps, let's justenjoytheregal-ity that is fall.”

Sifting through and un-derstanding the services,benefits and rights for seniorswith regard to Medicare canbe arduous and confusing. Themaze within which one mustnavigate in order to makeinformed decisions that willtake you in the right directionwith your Medicare coveragecan be overwhelming, at best.
Throughout the year, Cler-mont Senior Services hostseducational outreach pro-grams and invites the commu-nity to attend, free-of-charge,to learn from interesting andinformational presenters, andalso to have informal discus-sion for asking questions ofthe experts.
In our upcoming series,OSHIIP (Ohio Senior HealthInsurance Information Pro-gram) representatives willprovide free health insuranceinformation related to Medi-care, as well as a Medicare
Update. Ac-cording toOSHIIP,“Health careinsurance hasbeen changingfor years, and2014 will notbe any differ-ent. Changesare coming,and we need tobe educated
and updated. This presentationwill help attendees make moreinformed health care deci-sions.”
Medicare was the campaignpromise of President John F.Kennedy and although hispremature death did not allowhim to fulfill his promise,President Lyndon Johnson wonpassage of the plan in the formof amendments to the SocialSecurity Act. Passed in 1965,Title VIII of the amendmentestablishedMedicare and Title
IX establishedMedicaid.Medicare works with doc-
tors, hospitals, and otherhealth care providers to makesure patients get coordinatedcare –which is comprehensive,primary care, especially forchronically ill patients – whilealso working to avoid duplica-tion of services and preventmedical errors.
In a nutshell, Medicare PartA & B is now the health insur-ance plan for all eligible indi-viduals age 65 and older andcertain younger disabled per-sons. Because of its universalavailability, almost everyoneover age 65 in this country iscovered byMedicare. It isestimated that there are ap-proximately 40 million Medi-care beneficiaries nationwide.
In addition, Medicare is aprincipal provider of homehealth care and hospice care inthe nation. Home health care,instead of nursing care, is
often used as an alternativefor hospital patients recover-ing from hip or foot surgery,joint replacement or complica-tions of diabetes. In addition,homebound patients not hav-ing spent time in a hospital,but suffering from congestiveheart failure or other disablingconditions are sometimescovered with “episodes” athome.
Medicare can be a complexsystem to navigate. Join us foran upcoming free programTuesday, Oct. 28, from 6 p.m.until 8 p.m. at the Union Town-ship Civic Center.

Divorce is painful, evenwhen you can see it on thehorizon.
Within 42 months, suburbsaround the city of Cincinnatihave a major decision to make,but it’s not a typical electionballot choice.
The City of Cincinnati andHamilton County have a 1968Metropolitan Sewer Districtoperating agreement that endsin March 2018. At the recentquarterly meeting of our FirstSuburbs Consortium of South-west Ohio, I spoke to encour-
age my elect-ed peers fromother commu-nities to join ina mutual ef-fort to planour collectiveresponse towhat followsthe likely spli-tup.
MSD hasbeen owned by
the county but operated by thecity for 50 years, and is fundedby each property owner in the
region who uses sewer ser-vice. After the split, CincinnatiCity Hall will lack total MSDcontrol for the first time in ahalf-century. Let’s take time toplan and negotiate from aposition of strength as wesuburban elected leaderscome to the table on the coun-ty’s team.
Costs of the sewer upgradesmandated by our cleanup con-sent decree have generatedangry calls from suburbanresidents about their bills. Therecurring “rate shock” of a
large annual rate increase forcleanup resulted from post-poned decisions of the 1950sand 1960s. Today we are pay-ing billions of dollars to do thecleaning, storing and separat-ing that is necessary to reducewastewater entering the OhioRiver.

Sept. 13 was “Family Fun &Fitness Day” in Loveland.
“It’s meant to be a familyevent,” said CeeCee Collins,who organized the LovelandArea Chamber of Commerceevent. “We hope people comeout and bring their children toshow themwhat Loveland hasto offer in the way of fitnesswith the Little Miami River andthe bike trail.”
Nisbet Park hosted the fit-ness fair exhibits and demon-strations by several Lovelandhealth and fitness orientedbusiness. There was also anobstacle course for adults andchildren in the park. A handfulof enthusiastic cyclists pedaledaway from the start line on theLittle Miami Scenic River Trailnear Eads Loveland Hardwaresignaling the start of the fea-tured pedal and paddle fitnessevent. John Hill and his 10-year-
old son John Jr. rode off in thegroup looking forward to check-ing off canoeing from John Jr.’sbucket list.
“It’s all about hanging outwith John Jr.,” John Hill Sr.said. “Anything that gets us outtogether is good. Anything wedo together is fun.”
“We kept it light with thepedal/paddle just for fun,” Col-lins said. “We’re thinking ofmaking it a triathlon for nextyear. Keep that in mind.”
Early morning clouds and athreat of rain may have held thepedal/paddle participationdown, but clearing skies encour-aged a larger group for the 5Kheld later in the day. Adults andchildren lined up for the startbehind Nisbet Park around 5p.m. After a few words of en-couragement and instructionsabout the route (same course asthe popular annual LovelandRat Race) runners and walkerswere on their way.
“For the 5K, that is chip-
timing,” Collins said. “We wereable to bring someone in to dothe timing for us. There is anoverall women/female winnerand men/male winner.”
While people pedaled, pad-dled, ran, and walk in the funfitness events, others weretreated to fitness demonstra-tions and information in thepark. Health and nutrition busi-nesses rounded out the fitnessfair with free food, free healthscreenings, taste tests and give-away’s.
“It’s geared around health
and fitness,” said Dr. JeffreyKemmet, Loveland Chiropracticand event sponsor. “It’s abouthealth and wellness. We wantedto try to get a triathlon feel touse it for younger kids so theyget a taste of what doing threeevents in a row is.”
Not everyone was participat-ing in all three pedal, paddle,run/walk events. Kemmet saidit was just promoting health,wellness and getting the fam-ilies together. Throughout theday families came together forentertaining demonstrations ofmartial arts, yoga, ballet, andboxing for fitness. It allwrapped up with live music andsquare dancing during the afterparty sponsored by BranchesChurch.
“It was great to see arearesidents enjoying Loveland'sbeautiful natural Landscape,”said Collins.

As I sit here typingthis column, I canlook out the win-
dow and see FarmerBruner bending over topick day-glow orange
colored mosaic of leavescovering the groundnear the back of theherb garden. No doubt,autumn is in full swing.I suppose that’s why I’mgetting requests formore bread recipes.Nothing smells betterthan a loaf of warmbread taken from theoven and slathered withbutter. Or with theJarlsberg spread recipeI am sharing, as well.
Small batch 100percent wholewheat bread
For Pete, who wanteda recipe for a single loafof 100 percent wholewheat bread.
He has my originalone for whole wheatbread that makes twoloaves, but he wanted asmaller batch. Makesure you use high qual-ity plain 100 percentwhole wheat flour, notpartial whole wheat oranything in between.
1-1/8 cups lukewarm
water - start with 1cup**
1/4 cup Canola oil1/4 cup honey3 -1/2 cups 100 per-
cent whole wheat flour2 -1/2 teaspoons rapid
rise/instant yeast, notregular active yeast
1/4 cup dried milkpowder
1 -1/4 teaspoons salt**In summer/humid
weather, usually 1 cup isenough. In cold/dryweather you may needthe additional two table-spoons.
Combine all ingredi-ents and stir until doughstarts to leave sides ofbowl. For easiest knead-ing, let dough rest for 20minutes in bowl; thisgives the flour a chanceto absorb some of theliquid, and the bran tosoften. Transfer to light-ly greased surface, oilyour hands, and kneadfor 6 to 8 minutes, oruntil it begins to becomesmooth and supple.
Note: This doughshould be soft, yet stillfirm enough to knead.Adjust its consistencywith additional water orflour, if necessary.
Transfer to lightlysprayed bowl, cover, andallow to rise till puffythough not necessarilydoubled in bulk, about 1to 2 hours, depending onthe warmth of yourkitchen.
Transfer to lightlyoiled work surface, andshape into 8-inch log.Place in lightly sprayedor greased loaf pan,cover loosely with light-ly sprayed plastic wrap,and allow to rise 1 to 2hours, or till the center
has raised about 1 inchabove the rim of thepan. Towards the end ofthe rising time, preheatthe oven to 350°F.
Bake the bread for 35to 40 minutes, tenting itlightly with aluminumfoil after 20 minutes toprevent over-browning.The finished loaf willregister 190°F on aninstant-read thermom-eter inserted into center.
Remove from oven,and turn out onto rack tocool. I like to rub hotcrust with a stick ofbutter. Cool and eat.

100 percent wholewheat is just that, withall of the bran, germ andendosperm intact. Yourbody absorbs it slower
so you feel fuller longer,plus it has a better gly-cemic index than whiteflour.
Jarlsberg spreadMy friend, Linda
Griffith, brought a con-tainer of this spread forme to try.
“I love it and you canbuy it at some delis,”she told me.Hmmm….checking theingredients on the labelled me to believe I couldclone this really yummyspread, and I did. Sohere it is and it’s versa-tile – spread on toast andrun under broiler or stira spoonful into clearchicken broth. Or servechilled with crackers.
Blend together andlet flavors mellow inrefrigerator several
hours before serving:1/2 cup mayonnaise
or bit more if needed2 cups shredded Gru-
yere or Swiss - if youwant the real deal, useGruyere
1-2 tablespoonsminced red onion
Bit of chopped pars-ley - opt.
Tip from Rita’skitchen
Gruyere is a highquality, softer cheese, sochill it well before at-tempting to shred.

The custom of theBlessing of Animals isin remembrance of St.Francis of Assisi’s lovefor all creatures. In fact,Francis wrote a Canticleof the Creatures – anode to God’s livingthings. “All praise toyou, Oh Lord, for allthese brother and sistercreatures.”
St. Margaret of Yorkcelebrated the annualpet blessing on the feastday of St. Francis ofAssisi – Oct. 4. The cere-mony began with pray-ers said by the parishpriest in residence, TheRev. James Brooks. Asthe prayer was offered,pets were gently sprin-kled with holy water.Drops of water lightlypelted some of “theirhuman” companions.
