MIAMI TWP. — Traveling south onWolfpen-Pleasant Hill Road residentsface a dangerous curve once they getpast Kimberly Lane.

“Essentially it goes downhill prettysignificantly and then there is a hardturn to the right. (There is) basically ahill on one side and a creek on the other,”said Craig Stephenson, chief deputy en-gineer for Clermont County.

When it rains, that section of the roadbecomes slippery – its guardrail is proofof that.

“The guardrail is really dinged up,”

said Mary Makley Wolff,Miami Township trustee.

That’s why yellowcrash barrels were put inplace, but that was morethan 10 years ago.

“We know there havebeen (safety issues) that’sthe reason the crash bar-rels are out there,” Ste-

phenson said.“It’sbeenanongoingproblem,wejust

didn’t have the resources (to addressit).”

Officials have not talked to propertyowners on the street yet, so Stephensoncouldn’t saywith certaintywhat is going

to be done.“Wemight be getting a little ahead of

ourselves ... but (we’re) looking to elim-inate the current safety problem onWolfpen through either a new retainingwall or some realignment of the road.”

Officials from the county engineer’soffice have applied for Ohio PublicWorks Commission funding for the pro-ject, which current estimates predictwill cost taxpayersmore than $1million.

“Generally, (with) these types of pro-jects, there’sareasonwe’regoingout forfunding,” Stephenson said.

funding, but that’s not tosay if we didn’t get thefunding this year wewould never do it – it justprobablywouldn’t happennext year.”

A grant won’t be final-ized until next year, butofficials should knowsomething informally lat-er this month or earlynext month, he said.

“Wewouldwant to do it

when school is out nextyear – sometime betweenJune and the end of Au-gust, at the least heavylifting (of the project).”

No designs or specificshave been worked up, butofficials are currently so-liciting letters of interestfrom consulting engi-neers – basically propos-als detailing a company’sbackground, credentialsand ideas for the project.

“It’s going to be a hugetask,” said Larry Fronk,chairman of the ClermontCounty Transportation

Improvement District.But while funding dol-

lars aren’t guaranteed,“it’s time for this (project)to get done,” Stephensonsaid.

“Wolfpen is an impor-tant north-south connec-tor,” he said.

“So we’re really look-ingcountywideathowcanwe target the corridors ...we have that are heavilytraveled, really makingan investment in thoseroads for the travelingpublic.”

County officials applied for funding from the Ohio Public Works Commission to improvethis curve on Wolfpen-Pleasant Hill Road. Officials are considering realigning the road orputting up a new retaining wall. KEITH BIERYGOLICK/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Page 3: Loveland herald 101613

The Loveland Heraldis asking the seven Love-land city council candi-dates about issues facingthe city. Candidates arebeing asked to limit theirresponses to 100 words.

The seven candidates,in alphabetical order, areDavidBednar, Linda Cox,Pam Gross, Barry Kuhn,Ted Phelps, RobWeisger-ber and Brent Zuch.

This week’s question:As a council member,

what is/would be yourrole in the developmentof Loveland Station? Areyouhappywith theplans?

David Bednar“As amember of coun-

cil it is my responsibilityto insure the cityachieves the best possi-ble use of the 'The Love-land Station' property. Indoing so Imustmake cer-tain the developer has thewhere with all, experi-ence, shares the same vi-sion for the project as thecity does, and will notonly build it to plans butalsomaintain it going for-ward. While I am not thedeveloper, I can relaycomments, concerns andquestions from residentsto the developer, in hopesthat he will use the feed-back to develop a projectthat will make Lovelandproud.”

Linda Cox“Upcoming months

will be a critical time tofine tune the preliminaryplan and review and ap-prove a final plan thatwill set the bar for thedowntown’s future. I takethis role seriously andwill listen to input andmake decisions based onnot only what is best forLoveland now, but also inthe future. I feel the finaldevelopment must beeconomically sustain-able, represent a viablemix of residential and re-tail, and consider sur-rounding residents andbusinesses.

“Since council is wait-ing to receive a prelimi-nary contact, I believe it’stoo early to comment onthe plan now.”

Pam Gross“The fact I am not cur-

rently on council wouldallow me to bring a newperspective to the Love-land Station develop-ment. Once a developer isselected, it will be impor-tant during the prelimi-nary and final designphases to ensure that thecity challenges the devel-oper to produce a rede-

velopment that is attrac-tive, economically sus-tainable over the longterm, and complemen-tary to existing land usesand river views. The finaldesign should incorpo-rate both residential andcommercial uses to cre-ate a '24/7' environmentdowntown. As an accoun-tant I bring a valuable fi-nancial and analyticalskill set to this excitingproject.”

Barry Kuhn“I believe that council

plays a critical role in thedevelopment of LovelandStation. Council will de-termine thedirection thatthis city takes as a resultof the decisions that itmakes. Any developmentneeds to ensure that wemaintain our small towncharm.

“I support some addi-tional retail in Loveland,however think that weshould not just focus onthe Loveland Station de-velopment. Iwould like tosee the empty storefronts along the Love-land-Madeira corridorfilled before we addmuch more. We need tounderstand the issuesthat would be created bybuilding 100 apartmentsat that location.”

Ted Phelps“The Loveland Station

development projecthopefully will be close togetting underway by thetime the new council issworn in. If elected, Iwould want to make surethecityand thedeveloperwork together, carry outtheir responsibilities andthat the project is timelycompleted.

“I like the plans so farand see it as important toLoveland that thisprojectbe a success. As the onlylawyer on council, I hopeto be a valuable resourceand contributor in the ef-fort to build on and ex-pand downtown vitality..”

RobWeisgerber“Council’s role is to set

policy and approve zon-ing requirements consis-tent with community val-ues and standards. Thepolicy we have set makesthe development supportand pay for the propertyand improvements with-out costing the taxpayersin the long run. Enablingthe development rapidlydrives real growth andreal revenues for our fu-ture.Workingwith devel-opers who use their mon-ey assures the free mar-

ket will drive the finaldevelopment and withcontrol, we force theadded public parkingthe community needsfor downtown activ-ities. I prefer morecommercial spacewithless residential, but thefree market supportsour current plan.”

Brent Zuch“We could have set-

tled for a strip mall orbig box long ago to re-duce criticism, but thatisn’t what it is about. Itis about incorporatinga substantial retailcomponent that pushes

the buildings towardsthe road, adds evenmore parking behindand allows for moreoutdoor dinning.

“The façade mustcomplement thehistor-ic architecture andlook good regardlessfrom what angle youapproach the build-ings. I was the first toask that it include sus-tainable design. Wemust continue the mo-mentumby linking thisto Loveland-Madeiraand our 8.5 acres therewith a pedestrian/bikebridge.”

Candidates keep eye on Loveland Station VOTE ON DEVELOPMENT SET FOR THURSDAYA resolution authorizing theLoveland City Manager toenter into a developmentagreement with River TrailFlats LLC for sale of the “Love-land Station” property wastabled during the Oct. 8 citycouncil meeting.Council received the agree-ment late following some 11thhour negotiations with thedeveloper.

LOVELAND— Loveland EarlyChildhood Center PrincipalKyleBush traveled to Australiain July and came back withmore than souvenirs.

Bush was one of students inthe earth expeditions course of-fered by Miami University topromote inquiry-based learn-ing. The course gives partici-pants a chance to travel over-seas to study at conservationsites and engage local commu-nities, as well as other opportu-nities, according to its website.

The principal said hewas outof his comfort zone because hedoesn’t have a scientific back-groundandstill trying to take ineverything he learned.

“It’s given me a broaderprospective on my place in theworld,” Bush said. “There is aninterconnectedness, an inter-reliance on things.”

The course lasts throughDe-cember, Bush said, and he isstillworkingon the finalphase–an inquiry-action project.

The Loveland Early Child-hood Center principal isn’t sure

what he will do, but has nar-rowed down his possibilities.Bush might study what kind ofseed mixtures attract certainbird species or analyze howwell students learn about treeand bird species by observingthem in person versus usingflashcards with pictures, hesaid.

“I thinkKyle is agreat exam-ple of what we expect from ourLoveland staff being continu-ous learners,” said Chad Hillik-er, superintendent of LovelandSchools. “Anytime we have theability to go out and learn andbring it back that's what wewant for our students.”

No matter which project hechooses, Bush said the experi-ence in Australia and the in-sight he gained about learningwill stick with him forever.

“I felt like I had a backstagepass to experiences touristscould never have,” Bush said.“And those amplified the learn-ing.”

“It’s a huge goal tokeep the budget strongand safe,” he said.“We’re trying not toraise taxes.”

Leis also said thataside from having lessmoney to work with inthe township, she stillfeels that Symmes is“strong and thriving.”

Sims, who worked asthe assistant fiscal offi-cer before being ap-pointed, said it’s a priori-ty for her to be able toplanfor thesamelevelof

“The trustees have tovote on the decision-making, all Ihave todo ismake sure it’s financial-ly responsible,” she said.“My responsibility is tohelp the trustees under-stand the funds avail-able and the best way tospend those funds.”

She added that it’salso her job tomake suretaxpayers’ money isspent theway itwas allo-cated, whether that isthrough the generalfund, specific levies orother ways.

MIAMI TWP. — Cler-mont County officials areupgrading radio systemequipment.

In turn, local govern-ment entities must do thesame.

Those upgrades couldcost taxpayers in MiamiTownship $195,427 – justfor the police depart-ment’s radio systemequipment.

“The proposed pur-chase would replace 55portable radios and shoul-der microphones, and onebase radio,” Police ChiefSteveBaileywrote in a re-cent memo to trustees.

Officials did not bud-get for police radios thisyear.

Bailey saidMotorola isoffering a discount, thesame discount retiredFire Chief JimWhitworthpresented to trustees inMay.

The discount is $400per radio.

When the promotionwaspreviously brought totrustees, they raised con-cerns about jumping atdiscounts.

“Let’s just call thiswhat this is,” said TrusteeMaryMakley Wolff.

“This is capitalism atits finest. (Motorola) ispretending they are giv-ing us this great discountsowecan say to thepublicwe saved $20,000.”

CINCINNATI — When Moth-er of Mercy High School andUrsuline Academy met on thevolleyball court this year, itwasmostcertainlyafamilyaf-fair.

There were moms, dads,aunts,uncles,brothers, sistersand both grandma and grand-pa all in attendance to watchMercy senior Katie Klusmanand freshman Chloe Klusmanalong with Ursuline juniorMadisonManger of Loveland.

The three Girls’ GreaterCatholic League volleyballplayers are all cousins and forthefirst time,all threewereonthe court at the same time bat-tling each other.

“It’s fun,” Chloe said of theexperience. “Just knowingyour family is over there, yourparents and grandparents areover there, you ultimatelyknow you are all family.”

For the elder Klusman thiswill be the only year she canshare in the family experi-ence, as Madison and Chloehave next year to make morememories.

“… I get to kind of mentorChloe,” Katie said, “show herthe ropes, and then getting toplay with Madison is alwaysfun.”

Madison and the Lions holdthe 2-0 advantage over hercousins as Ursuline has wonboth matchups with the Bob-cats this season Sept. 12 andOct. 7 in straight sets. Whilemany would give their familymembers some grief for hold-ingthefamilybraggingrights,Manger isn’t that type of per-son.

“Personally it makes me

nervous playing against thefamily because everyonecomes to watch you and it’slike there’s more pressure,”the junior said. “It’s weirdplaying against them. … Youwant everyone to be success-ful and you know someone hasto win and to me, it’s just bit-tersweet.”

For the freshman Chloe,she is using this season as anopportunity, not only to makememories that will last a life-time, but as a learning experi-ence as well.

“… It’s always been some-thing to look up at becausethey are always doing awe-some,” she said of Katie andMadison. “Katie has alwaysbeen the boss, so we can justkind of ask her anything.”

While the Bobcats aren’thaving theirbest season inKa-tie’s four years with the team,she cherishes the two timesshe took to the court with hercousins.

“I just think it’s kind offun,” she said. “You look atthem all and give them a littlesmile and you know they arekind of feeling the same thingwith a little bit of excitementand a little nervous, but it’sfun.”

It’s all fun and games atfirst, but when the action getsgoing all three girls get downto business. And Madison – adefender –will be the first oneto tell you her older cousin hasgotten a ball or two by herfrom her outside hitter posi-tion.

“… She’s gotten a couple onme, but it’s always my goal totouch (theball) at least,”Madi-son said. “But yeah, she’s got-ten one on me at least.”

Pictured from left are Mercy senior Katie Klusman, Ursuline juniorMadison Manger and Mercy freshman Chloe Klusman. The trio areall cousins and took the court together for the first time ever whenthe Lions and Bobcats met Sept. 12 and again Oct. 7. The Lions wonboth contests.TOM SKEEN/COMMUNITY PRESS

LOVELAND— Inheriting a 6-4team from last year, new Love-landHigh School football coachFred Cranford knew he hadsome promising returning tal-ent.

However, even themost opti-mistic Loveland fan might nothave predicted the Tigers 2013season. On Oct. 4, they equaledlast year’s win mark with fourmore games left on the sched-ule.

Accordingto long-timeLove-land administrator Kevin Tay-lor, this is the best Tiger squadsince 1972.

Forty-one years ago, the Ti-gers went undefeated in the oldEastern Hills League, butstayedoutofpostseasoncompe-tition in favor of a 9-1Wyomingteam that had more points. In1972, the Reds had just lost totheOaklandA’s in theWorld Se-riesandtheOHSAAdidn’tallowas many schools into the play-offs.

Now,Loveland is poised for aDivision II runwith their potentoffense, according to publishedOHSAA computer numbers.

“I’m overwhelmed, blessedand humbled to be part of agreat community,” Cranfordsaid. “There’s no doubt the tal-ent is in the building. I’m justexcited that offensively, whatI’ve done has gone well. A lot of

that credit goes to the defensebecauseweknowwe’regoing toget the ball back.”

When Charlie Lawler, MikeWeber and the rest of the Tigerdefense return theball to theof-fense, Loveland has had tre-mendous success running it. Ju-nior Nate Slagel already hasmore than 1,000 yards andfreshman Luke Waddell couldsoon join him.

“Sometimes those holes aremassive,” Slagel said. “Thoseoffensive linemen are workingtheir tails off and it pays off foreveryone.”

Junior Ian Leever is one ofthe offensive line workhorsesand Slagel and Waddell oftensprint out as if they were shotout of a cannon. If you key onNo. 47 (Slagel), No. 37 (Waddell)makes you pay.

“That’s kind of the thingwiththe Wing-T,” Slagel said. “It’s anew offense, but it works.”

Slagelwas oneof theEasternCincinnati Conference’s best inthe 100 meters and the flashyfreshman runs like he has ex-haust pipes on his cleats.

“Me andWaddell have raceda few times,” Slagel said. “Itkind of goes back and forth.He’s shorter and harder tofind.”

At quarterback, Lovelandhas shifted from junior Giovan-ni Ricci to sophomore DrewPlitt. Both are long and lankyandRicci, theECCchamp in the

110 hurdles and high jump, isnow playing receiver.

“We’ve got a rangy Gio(van-ni) out there that can move andgoover topofpeople,”Cranfordsaid. “Drew is young, but atsome point we thought we weregoing to do it, so why not now?He does a great job at spinningthe ball and he’s very coacha-ble.”

Most pundits would pencil inwins for theTigers in their finalthree contests, which shouldcomfortably place them in theplayoffs. These days in Love-land, it’s good to be Fred Cran-ford.

“The community, the sup-port and the student body isfirst class,” he said. “Weneed tokeep it rolling as a community.”

LIONS ROAR BACKFROM BRINK AGAINSTSUAOn the night 1993 UrsulineAcademy celebrated the20-year anniversary of its1993 state title, the 2013Lions did something thechamps could not.Defeat rival St. Ursula Acad-emy.In 1993, SUA spoiled seniornight for the Lions, beating inthem in three sets.Ursuline girls got revenge fortheir sisters Oct. 8, beatingthe Bulldogs 25-16, 20-25,20-25 25-8, 15-13.“I don’t know if we got com-placent after the first game,”Ursuline head coach Jeni Casesaid. “I don’t want to takeanything away from St. Ursu-la, because they adjusted andplayed great in the secondand third games. They hadthe momentum.”Case said a tirade in thehuddle and a change indefense prior to the fourthset turned the tide back toher club.“I screamed at them a little, Iguess,” Case said. “I toldthem they were giving the(Girls Greater CincinnatiLeague) title to MND. WhatI’m glad about is they respon-ded. That was a great win forus against a very good team.”Ursuline improved to 19-2 (9-1GGCL) with the win, securinga tie with Mount Notre Damefor the league title. SUAslipped to 15-7 (6-4 GGCL),good for third in the league.

BLUE ASH — The giantonce took baby steps.

Ursuline Academy cel-ebrated some of its illus-trious volleyball historyOct. 8, recognizing the1993 state title squad thathelped turn the Lions intoa perennial power.

Since that ‘93 champi-onship - the school’s sec-ond volleyball crown fol-lowinga statewin in1975 -Ursuline has been a regu-lar visitor to Columbuswith additional titles in2002, 2009 and 2012. TheLions were state runners-up in 1995, 2001, 2003 and

2008and reached the finalfour in1998,1999and2010.

It wasn’t always so.“We used to talk about

what it would be like towin a state title, what thatwouldmean to themdownthe road,” said Mike Seib-ert, a Loveland residentwho coached the statechamps. “Now a lot of thecomments back to me are‘We understand what youmeant then. Thatwas spe-cial.’”

It was a year later thanSeibert thought it wouldbe. The 1991 UrsulineAcademy volleyball teamtook an undefeated rec-ord into the regional fi-nals before losing to

league rival Mercy. UAlooked primed for thenext step into state.

“We were not overrat-ed; we were overachiev-ers,” Seibert said of his1991team. “The end of the’92 season, that was sup-posed to be the year wewent to state. That seasonended horribly for us. Welost to Princetonmaybe inthe sectional finals. Notvery far into the tourna-ment. I sent them all a let-ter after we lost and pret-ty much took responsibil-ity for losing. But I toldthem they had the talentand the potential to win itall. They took it to heart.”

Liz Welling Rouse wasa senior outside hitter forthe ‘93 team. Now a full-time mom to three, shemarveledathowdifferentthegameis today.Shesaidit didn’t feel like 20 yearsuntil she saw how muchbigger, stronger, fasterthe players on the floorwere than her team.

(Seibert had three 6-foot players in his coach-ing career, one on hischampionship roster. Bycomparison, current UAcoach Jeni Case – who co-incidentally once played

club ball for Seibert – hasfour on her 2013 roster.)Still, Rouse enjoyed com-ing back.

“It’s been fun remi-niscing, showing my kidsour banner,” she said.“You’re not going to beatthe friendships you makeon a team like this that didwhat we did. We’re stillbest friends.”

“My favorite thingwasour state title, of course,”said Amy VandenEyndenFinn, who was a seniorsetter for the champs.“But I think that wholetournamentmeant a lot tous. We got really close.Looking through the pic-tures now brings back somany good memories.”

Now in clinical re-searchmanagement, Finnsaid the title run helpedherwell beyond the court.

“You learn so manyskills as an athlete,” shesaid. “It’smore thanbeinga volleyball player, it’sabout dealing with peopleand situations. If youlearn that when you’reyoung, it never reallygoes away.”

Sue Partridge agreed.Shewas a senior hitter forthe championship squadand is now an oncologyand hematology doctor.

“A big part of successis dealing with passion,”she said. “Forme, IknewIhad tobepassionate aboutmy work. I’ve changedmy passion into compas-sion. You know you’ve gotto dig deep when it gets

tough. You pick people uplike you picked yourteammates up and theypicked you up.”

Which is part of thereason Partridge madethe presentation of a$1,625 check to the Ursu-line athletic departmenton behalf of her team pri-or to the current team’smatch against St. UrsulaAcademy (see sidebar).

“We know it’s been atough couple of weekshere,” Partridge said ofUA junior Jordan Hoak’sdeath after a car accident.“Wealsoknowhowimpor-tant sports are in teachingyou to deal with losses,making you stronger andgoing forward. It’s meanta lot to us to keep that tra-dition alive.”

Seibert said there istangible evidence onhandto keep thememory of the1993 squad at the fore.

“Our goal was reallynever to win a state title,”he said. “It was to get abanner in the gym. We

used to look at the onefrom 1975 and we wantedone for ourselves. Itwas abigdeal.Seeing it thereto-night means a lot.”

Are your SymmesTownship tax dollarssafe?

In the wake of the scandalthat is rocking Covington, areyour tax dollars safe inSymmes Township?

Symmes Township’s longtime “elected” fiscal officer,John Borchers, retired thisspring and the township al-lowed the township financeofficer to retire and then ap-pointed her to the office offiscal officer. She is now col-lecting a full pension andworking as Symmes fiscalofficer.

The township has not hiredanyone to replace the retiredfinance officer that workedfull time for years. Townshiptrustees Beck and Bryant en-dorse the appointed fiscalofficer and think they are sav-ing tax dollars by not replacingher. If they do not need anyonein that position, why did wepay her a salary with our taxdollars for all those years?

You need a “check and bal-ance” when it comes to govern-ment finance. That is why alltownships have three trusteesand one fiscal officer that arepart-time jobs and elected. Thefiscal officer should overseeall financial decisions made bythe township’s financial per-sonnel.

I am not saying that Ms.Sims is doing anything illegalor wrong, but the township’stax dollars are not being mon-itored as our state lawmakersand state auditor intended.

Patricia PaskalSymmes Township

Retain Sims for SymmesThere is a reason why your

three Symmes Township trust-ees unanimously appointedCarol Sims to fill the remain-ing fiscal officer term through2013.

With 24 years experience asthe assistant fiscal officer,Carol Sims is a seasoned, ex-pert-level fiscal officer whohas earned a reputation forintegrity, credibility, accuracy,transparency and fiscal con-servatism.

Fiscal officer is arguablythe most critically important,detail-oriented and time-con-suming township position. Afiscal officer is expected tosingle-handedly performmanyduties including, but not lim-ited to, the following: oversee-ing and safeguarding the town-ship funds; facilitating checksand balances; self-performingpayroll, tax calculations andpayments, withholding andquarterly reporting; issuingchecks for all Township busi-ness transactions; planningbudgets and appropriations,and providing levy recom-mendations.

To be successful, a fiscalofficer must be an expert oneach of these job duties – thereis simply no time for a non-expert to obtain “on the jobtraining.” In these times oftight budgets, deeply reducedstate funding, and lower reve-nues, it is vitally importantthat Symmes Township keepsour expert at the helm.

On Nov. 5, join me in votingCarol Sims for fiscal officer,and together, we will keep ourtownship running smooth.

Phil BeckSymmes Township trustee

Support Bryant, Leis,Sims

Ken Bryant and Jodie Leis

are both responsible citizensand Symmes Township trust-ees. Both are on the upcomingballot for re-election. Theyhave both proven themselveswith good track records asdedicated trustees. Let’s keepSymmes Township moving inthe right direction and re-electKen Bryant and Jodie Leis thisNovember.

Carol Sims is a responsibleand dedicated fiscal officer forSymmes Township. She hasbeen involved with the town-ship for many years andthrough much experience, thatgoes a long way to warrant hervery capable ability, to con-tinue for many years to come.

I hope and pray that thoseundecided voters will considerCarol Sims on their ballot so asto keep Symmes Township inthe black and on track.

Blumberg good fit forboard

Several of my neighborsand I were discussing thisupcoming school board elec-tion Nov. 5. We concluded thatit is always good when “one ofus” are represented. What Imean is a parent of children inthe district that understandsthe daily needs of the childrenwith an eye towards the future.

Dave Blumberg is a candi-date that fits that bill. He is aparent, who for years has beenimmersed in community mat-ters. In the work I have donewith Dave in a volunteer ca-pacity, his dedication towardsimproving our community isnoticeable.

My neighbors and I plan onvoting for Dave BlumbergNov. 5 and I would encourageall Loveland residents to do thesame.

Maureen SwiftLoveland

Vote for Sims an easydecision

On Nov. 5, speak out loudand clear and cast your vote tokeep Carol Sims as your fiscalofficer in Symmes Township.

There is no one better qual-ified for this position thanSims. The fiscal officer is not aceremonial position, but a jobwhere one needs financialexpertise, knowledge of town-ship operations and fiscal sav-vy to be successful. It is ahands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves-and-work position.

With Sims there will be nolearning curve, no lost time.With more than 24 years expe-rience as assistant fiscal offi-cer and fiscal officer, this is ajob Sims knows and does well.

Before moving to Loveland,I served as a member of theSymmes Finance Committeeand got to know and work withCarol. It was during my timeon the Finance Committee thatI learned so much about theoperations of local governmentfinances. Carol’s insights haveserved me well.

There is no greater testa-ment to Carol’s ability andexperience than her beingappointed – the Symmes Trust-ees who entrusted her with thefinancial management of thetownship.

Carol Sims for fiscal officerin Symmes Township – an easydecision, a smart decision.

Clerk of Courts supportsWallace

As the Hamilton CountyClerk of Courts and past town-ship trustee, I understand theimportance of guarding thetaxpayers money. Your moneymust be invested wisely andkept safe. It is for this reasonthat I have endorsed VinceWallace for Symmes Townshipfiscal officer.

Mr. Wallace is the chiefoperating officer for theClerk’s Office, where he isresponsible for maintainingfiscal stability, keeping accu-rate financial records andoverseeing reporting require-ments. In his tenure, he hasdiscovered new ways to savethe taxpayers money andmaintained fiscal controls.

He is also a veteran of theUnited States Air Force, hav-ing served his country honor-ably from1980-1988. He servesas a sergeant with the Hamil-ton County Sheriff’s Office,Special Deputy Squad 3, wherehe supervises 15 deputies.

Vince Wallace has a longrecord of fiscal conservatismand this is why Hamilton Coun-ty Prosecutor Joe Deters,Hamilton County Commission-er Greg Hartman, HamiltonCounty Commissioner ChrisMonzel, Ohio Veterans United,the Symmes Township andHamilton County RepublicanParties have all joined me inendorsing Vince Wallace forSymmes Township Fiscal Offi-cer.

I ask for your vote for a truefiscal conservative, VinceWallace.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

See LETTERS, Page A10

Along the campaign trail Iam often asked, “Why areyou running for LovelandCity Council?”

The answer is simple. Icannot think of a more fittingway to give back to this com-munity that has given so

much to me.A lifelongLovelandarea resi-dent, I metand marriedmy highschool sweet-heart here,we raised ourfamily here,attendchurch here,

and I had the opportunity towork in the Loveland schoolsand at Loveland City Hall.All of these experiencesinstilled in me a desire tovolunteer and serve along-side Loveland residents.

Four years ago you elect-ed me to my first term onLoveland City Council. Work-ing as a team, and listeningto you the people, we madeaccomplishments. Duringeconomic challenges wetightened our belts by cut-ting expenses without rais-ing taxes or eliminating ba-sic services. We balanced thebudget and both housing andbusiness starts are up. Thefuture looks promising, butwe cannot rest on our lau-rels. There is still much to bedone.

We are close to enteringinto an agreement with adeveloper for redevelopingdowntown Loveland. Thisagreement is just the begin-ning. The upcoming monthswill be a critical time to finetune the preliminary planand review and approve afinal plan that will set the barfor Loveland’s future. I takethis role very seriously andwill make decisions based onwhat is best for Lovelandnow and in the future.

We must ensure that thefinal development is econom-ically sustainable, representsa viable mix of residential

and retail, considers sur-rounding residents and busi-nesses, and incorporates thecity’s natural resources in-cluding the Little MiamiRiver and Scenic Bike Trail.

We need to undertake a“smarter” and more focusedbusiness retention and at-traction effort in other areasof the city including theLoveland Commerce Parkfrom which we derive themajority of our tax revenues.An inventory of vacant build-ings should be developed andthe city should work closelywith realtors and businessowners to remarket these“third generation” sites.

We need to meet regularlywith business owners to un-derstand their operatingneeds and anticipate andprepare for their expansionlocally. A more aggressiveapproach needs to be takento improve aesthetics andviability of businesses alongthe Loveland Madeira RoadCorridor including carefuluse of tax and financial in-centives to encourage rede-velopment.

As an elected official andvolunteer on many localboards and organizations, Iknow that leadership must beencouraging and respectful.To be effective and function-al, City Council must beopen-minded, tolerant ofdiverse views both on coun-cil and within the communi-ty, and operate within a cul-ture of respect to residents,businesses, organizationsand each other.

Over the years I have seenand embraced Loveland’semergence and growth, andwant to continually helpmake it even better. I hopeyou share my excitementabout Loveland’s future andwill give me the opportunityto continue serving you torealize our dreams for thisbeautiful community we callhome.

Linda Cox is a candidate for Love-land City Council.

passion for the city ofLoveland.

Initially, we met forbusiness purposes when Ihired Pam’s accountingfirm; however I havegrown to call her a realfriend. I was excited tolearn that Pam is runningfor Loveland City Coun-cil as she started herbusiness in the city ofLoveland, and is the onlycouncil candidate who isan entrepreneur. Sheunderstands what ittakes to start and operatea small business, but alsounderstands that theright combination ofefficiency and creativityis required to run a suc-cessful operation.

In addition, Pam is ateam player, a consensusbuilder and is respectfulof Loveland’s culture andof its residents and busi-nesses. We would beextremely lucky to have

PamGross represent uson Loveland City Council.

“Just as in Iraq underSaddamHussein you hadto be a member of theBath political party inorder to get a good joband/or get benefits. Nowhere in America – withone political party incontrol of the nationunder the direction ofBarack Hussein Obama –for protection, you mustbe a member of the con-trolling party‘s politicalvoting base – such as aunion, to keep your bene-fits. Since my benefitsare union controlled, mypremiums for 2014 haveincreased – but only at areasonable level.

“If you want afford-able health care, best tobe a federal governmentemployee or a unionmember and therebyexempt from the socalled Affordable CareAct (ACA) by presiden-tial decree.”

“Short-termmedicalinsurance rates shouldnot go up right away forthose that already hadinsurance.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2013

A rogue lightning bolt duringa summer camp stay instantlytransformed a Loveland boy’slife, leaving him brain damagedbut still battling, his parentssaid.

During a largely cloudlessJune day at the Goldman UnionCamp Institute near Indianapo-lis, the then 12-year-old EthanKadish was teaching youngercampers how to play ultimateFrisbeewhen an explosive shaftof lightning struck somewherenear the athletic field.

“It was mostly sunny andthere was a low rumble of thun-der in the far distance. We hadbegun to clear the athletic fieldwhen it happened,” campDirec-tor and Rabbi Mark Covitz re-called what his staffers told himof June 29.

“Noonesawthe lightning,butitmadean incredibly loudcrack.Laterwefoundadead treeabout30-40 yards from the field, so itcould have bounced off thetree,” said Covitz.

The electrical current hurledEthan to the ground, his heartshocked into stillness. Two othercampers were injured, but notnearly so severelyasEthan,whountil the accident was a buddingathlete and especially lovedplaying baseball. He lovedcheering on his beloved Redsandhis favoriteplayer, JoeyVot-to.

Camp staffers frantically

performedCPR.Localparamed-ics arrivedandworked to revivehisheartwhile speedinghimtoalocal hospital. He was in criticalcondition, and doctors induced acoma and had him breathingthrough a ventilator.

Later, still in critical condi-tion, hewas flown toCincinnati’sChildren’s Hospital MedicalCenter so he could be near hisfamily and friends.

In the Kadish family’s firstpublic appearance since the ac-cident, parents Scott and Alexiaspoke of the bizarre accidentthat nowmarks their every day.

“I heard people (who wit-nessed it) refer to it as a bolt outof the blue,” Ethan’s father said

during a press conference atChildren’s.

That’s also what meteorolo-gists call it. Andy Latto, meteo-rologist for the National Weath-er Service, calls lightningstrikes on a sunny day – “boltsout of the blue” – common.

“You usually only hear dis-tant thunder, but whether or notyou see any approaching stormdepends on your vantage point,”Latto said. “It can occur milesaway froma storm. It’s often thevery first lightning bolt out of astorm.”

Dr. David Pruitt, medical di-rector of in-patient rehabilita-tion for Children’s, said therewere no entry or exit wounds

marking the path of electricitythat ran through Ethan’s bodybut said the damage to his brainafter his heart stopped is signifi-cant.

“At thispoint it’shardtoprog-nosticate the extent of recoveryEthanwilldemonstrate. It’sveryearly in Ethan’s recovery proc-ess, and I expect his overallbrain recovery time will extendat least for a couple of years,”says Dr. Pruitt.

Covitz describes Ethan, whowould have attended the eighthgradeatLovelandMiddleSchoolthis month, as having “a greatsmileandgreat senseofhumor.”

“This was so unexpected,”Covitz said.

Still,Ethan isbreathingonhisown, and his mother sees smallbut hopeful progress in his gazeat her.

At times she climbs into hishospital bed to lie close to himand comfort him as only amoth-er can.

“I lay next to himwhen I can.It’samother’s inclinationtobeasclose as you can be,” she says. “Italk about what his brother andsister are doing. I talk aboutwhat the weather is like ... I talkabout a TV show I watch that Iwish hewaswatchingwithme ...and I talk about the Reds.”

She addswith a tone of stead-fast hope: “I see more light be-hind his eyes.”

HOW TO HELPWhen Ethan returns to the

Kadish’s Loveland home he willneed around-the-clock nursingcare. The Kadish family say theywill also have to modify theirhouse to make accommodationson the first floor for Ethan'scare.

Today we started ourfirst fire in the woodstove for the season.But it was a little weird,too, because when Ilooked out the window,the impatiens were ariot of color in the win-

dow boxesand themorningglorieslookedlike aburst ofblue skyclimbingup thewhitepicketfence. The

weather had turnedquite chilly and it reallywas a perfect morningto have a nice, aromaticfire. If you ask mostfolks, they will tell youfall is their favoritetime of year. I guess it’sbecause the outsidework is winding downand so are we. Andthere’s nothing quite sobeautiful as a mosaic ofreds, browns and yel-lows as the leaves car-pet our old countryroad.

Hotel Sinton’sspring pea salad

I was glad to get somany responses to JanB.’s request for theHotel Sinton pea salad.As always, thanks,thanks, thanks! Therecipe from Juliane B.,a Colerain townshipreader, was exactly likethe one originally pub-lished by Cheri Brink-man in her first book ofthe best-selling series:“Cincinnati and Soup.”

Now that I’ve seenthe recipe, I know I’veeaten it and liked thesalad a lot. Juliane saidshe’s made it severaltimes and people love it.Cheri told me: “This is arare one as it is a saladdressing, not a true peasalad. It came from anolder lady I knew whoactually learned to cookin the kitchen of the oldHotel Sinton. What isinteresting in this is theamount of mayonnaisein the salad; this may belessened by the cook ifthey choose. The mostimportant thing tostress here is that itshould be served by

tablespoon overchopped lettuce not as asolo salad – that was notwhat they did in “thegood old days.” Bestmade ahead. FYI Cherijust published her lat-est, and best-selling,book “Cincinnati andSoup: Festivals andFrolics.”

2 (16 oz.) bags frozen greenpeas

6 green onions, chopped2 stalks of celery choppedfine

3 cups mayonnaise (more orless)

4 hard-boiled eggs, sliced

Mix peas, onions andcelery. Mix in 2 cupsmayonnaise. Put in a9-inch by 13-inch dishand top with 1 cup may-onnaise. Garnish withthe hard-boiled eggs.Serve. May be servedover chopped lettuce.

Easy caramel applesThe hardest part of

this recipe is openingall the caramels. Idipped the apples onlyhalfway up and thenrolled them into finelychopped salted nuts.

1 (14 oz.) bag vanillacaramels, unwrapped

2 tablespoons water orwhipping cream

Apples (I had small onesfrom our tree so hadenough caramel coatingfor 10.)

Sucker sticks or woodencraft sticks

Toppings: chopped nuts,cookies, mini M&M’s,crushed pretzels, etc.

Remove stem andwash and dry apples.Insert sticks. Set aside.Melt caramels withwater over low heat.Dip apples in halfway orall the way if you want(you’ll get a smalleryield). Immediately rollbottoms in your choiceof toppings. Set onsprayed pan to dry.

Can you help?Manyet Bakery’s

cheesecake: I don’twant to disappoint PatBarth, who asked againif any of you have therecipe or a similar onefrom this beloved New-port Bakery. This is thebakery that made thefamous radio rolls andfor which I found a sim-

ilar recipe that I stillpromise to post on myblog.

Hamilton County proper-ty owners will again be ableto see what they will pay intaxes if proposed levies ontheballot onTuesday,Nov. 5,general election in their tax-ing districts are passed.

HamiltonCountyAuditorDusty Rhodes has added es-timated information on newlevies on the websitehttp://bit.ly/lvxaS.

By accessing their prop-erty records, homeownerscan go to the levy tab ontheir property’s recordmain page to see the effectof new levies based on theirproperty’s current value.

“This is vital informationwhich allows voters to seewhat theywill pay if new taxlevies are approved,”Rhodes said. “It is all a partof holding government ac-countable to the people whopay for it,” he said.

The attachment is a tablelisting two county wide levyrenewals as well as renew-als in Golf Manor, Marie-mont, Green and Symmestownships and the ThreeRivers School District. Newlevieswill be on the ballot inNorth Bend, North CollegeHill, Terrace Park, the DeerPark School District and theOak Hills School District.

The first two columnsidentify the taxing author-ity and the purpose of thelevy. Also listed is the re-quested millage, the type oflevy, its duration, the cur-rent tax on a $100,000 mar-ket value property, and theestimated annual amountthe tax would raise if ap-proved by the voters.

The estimated annualcost to taxpayer column re-fers to an owner-occupiedresidence and assumes the10 percent and 2.5 percentstate reductions and thecounty’s stadium sales taxreduction for renewals.

The calculations for newlevies do not reflect thesereductions. They have beeneliminated by the state leg-islature for new levies.
