Gloria Wilson is busy cre-ating sweet sensationsanddoesn’tget tospendasmuchtimeoutfrontassheused to.News ofLovelandbeing recognized as a“Best Hometown”reached her.

“I heard about that,”Wilson said. “I think it’svery positive. People al-ways say good thingsabout Loveland whenthey’re here, and I thinkthat just confirms it forthem. It’s gotta be helpfulwhenpeoplehear that andwant to come see forthemselves.”

As business owners,both Wilson and Williamsrecognize the “good

thing” that happens whenpeople read the articleand then come into Love-land to see for them-selves. It is not just thebusinesses though. It isresidential development,newdevelopment, and theexcellent schools forgrowing population offamilies.

As if right on cue, in astudy by NerdWallet,Loveland also ranked No.2 in a list of top 10 “Bestcities in Ohio to raiseyoung families.” The na-tionally recognized finan-cial literacy website hasbeen featured in NewYork Times, Wall Street,and Reuters. Their ana-lyst Mike Anderson notedLoveland City Schools“has received an ‘excel-lent’ rating from the OhioDepartment of Education

for12 consecutive years.”“Our community part-

nership is a key factor inour district’s ability tomaintain the excellentservice we provide thestudentswhoattendLove-land City Schools,” Super-intendent Chad Hillikersaid. “I sincerely appreci-ate the recognition forboth the school districtand the larger communi-ty. Loveland is truly awonderful place.”

“It’s a broad communi-ty that makes things hap-pen,” Weisgerber said.“It’s about the people, it’sabout the businesses, it’sabout the parks, it’s aboutthe positive messagesthat get out; the excellentschools. It’s everybodythatmakesupthecommu-nity that makes Lovelanda hometown, and conse-quently, the Best Home-town.”

Loveland Police foundno bomb following anearly morning bombthreat at LovelandMiddleSchool and Loveland In-termediate School Thurs-day, Nov. 14.

Loveland schools su-perintendent Chad Hillik-er made the official “allclear” announcement tothe media just after 11a.m. justoutside thebuild-ing.

“We had the dogs gothrough to check for anybombs,” Hilliker said.“The building is clear. Wehave the all clear.”

Buses were already enroute to transport stu-dents to the school. Thosebusesweredivertedto thecampus of the LovelandPrimary and Loveland El-ementary Schools.

Students from thefifth- through eighth-grades were being heldthere as a safety precau-tion until parents arrived.Parents were contactedthrough school emergen-cy communications and atext alert system.

“Inthemeantime,mostparents, as we figured,picked up their children,”Hilliker said. “Right now,(as Hilliker spoke to themedia around 11 a.m.) Ithink we have a total ofabout 40 students at theprimary and elementaryschool. They are going tostay there the remainderof the day.”

Hilliker says the build-ingwas lockeddown toas-sure the students wouldbe secure. A bare mini-mum of staff and fewearly arrival students

were on the premiseswhen they became awareof the threat. All weresafely cleared from thebuilding and transportedby bus to the primary andelementary school. Allevents for the middleschool and intermediateschoolwerecancelledasaresult of the bomb threatwhich occurred.

“There are really noother concerns; otherthan the fact it has notbeenatypicalday,”Hillik-er said. “We want to getback to business as usualtomorrow.Themain thing

was we wanted to keepour students safe and se-cure; our staff as well.”

Hilliker praised thegoodworkbythestaffandschool administrationkeeping everyone safethroughout the process ofevacuation and divertingstudents to the otherschool buildings. He alsooffered thanks to theLoveland Police for theirhelp.

“Law enforcement didawonderful jobof comingin and helping us out to-day,” he said. “We hadmultiple people here.We’re going to investigatethe situation and hope wefigure out who did this.”

Hilliker made it clearthey will follow properprocedures to file appro-priate charges againstany individual found to beinvolved ina situation likethis. He said the schooltakes all threats seriousand will always investi-gate. In some cases thatmeans they figure it outand take care of it imme-diately. In this case, therewasnowaytoknowandbesure the students and

staff were secure, soemergency procedureswere followed. LovelandPolice Chief Tim Sabran-sky affirmed every effortwould bemade to identifythe sender of the email.

“I’ve been in contactwith the FBI and theJTTF, the Joint TerrorismTask Force because theyhave all those technical

resources we don’t have,”Sabransky said. “We’llhave then look at theemail, analyze the email,and try to determinewhere it came from.”

For the parents andcommunity, a greater po-lice presence was visiblethroughout the day andevening following thethreat. Sabransky says

they’ll be more present inthe days immediately fol-lowing to keep a closerwatch. He assured thecommunity all stepswouldbe taken toensureasafe return to normal asthe school reopened.

“We’ll just do every-thingwe can tomake surepeople feel safe,” Sabran-sky said.

Bomb threat cancels classes at Loveland Middle SchoolBy Chuck [email protected] PARENTS REACT

Jacqueline Feldmansaid she decided pulledher daughter, Makaela, 8,from school after thebomb threat was report-ed because she didn’tthink the third-graderwould be able to focus.“Too many crazy thingsgoing on in schools thesedays,” Feldman said.Makaela said she was

uncomfortable in class.“I was scared,” she said.

Loveland Heraldasked each of the sevencouncil members – thefour elected Nov. 5 andthe three in the middle oftheir terms – two ques-tions:

1. What are your toppriorities for your newterm?

2. Whom do you sup-port for mayor and why?

The seven are LindaCox, Mark Fitzgerald,Pam Gross, PauletteLeeper, Ted Phelps, An-gela Settell and RobWeisgerber. Phelps fin-

ished eightvotesahead ofincumbentBrentZuchin final un-official re-sults.

Weis-gerber was

the only one to respond.This is his response:

RobWeisgerber1. What are your top

priorities for your newterm?

“My top three priori-

ties are the same as theyhave been for the lasteight years as mayor.

“First, we need to stayfocused on basic ser-vices. One of the biggestimpacts on the residentswe serve is providing thebest services for the low-est cost. Those servicesthat touch everyday liv-ing in the city such as, po-lice and safety, fire/EMS,building and zoning, thefinance operations, roadsand infrastructure main-tenance, and clean avail-able water, are a few but

not all of what we willstay focused on.

“The second key focusarea is that of economicdevelopment. Keepingand expanding our taxbase in an ever dynamicbusinessmarket is key tobeing able to pay for theincreasing costs of ser-vices. As fuel, insurance,health care and the costsof goods increase, justlike for you at home, weneed to find both reducedexpenditures and in-creased revenues tomaintain the service lev-els within a balancedbudget. The newHistoricDowntown development(Loveland’s River TrailFlats) needs to be man-aged through to its com-pletion. Without consis-tency in city leadershipthat new opportunity canbe lost. Expanding our fo-cus on other in-fill loca-tions and the Loveland-Madeira corridor has tobe a key priority in thecoming year.

“Third, the most im-portant yet often under-appreciated priority is tomaintain a balanced bud-get. With the reduced re-sources the city has (wehave about $900,000 less

buying power than wehad in 2005) and increas-ing costs, keeping thebudget balanced throughthe use of budget disci-plines is paramount. Iwill continue to evaluateevery request against thebudgeted line items andavailable resources toprotect the residentsfrom unnecessary wishlist spending.”

2. Whom do you sup-port for mayor andwhy?

“The obvious choicefor the mayor’s positionis to continue with me. Ibring more years of ser-vice on council with adeeper understanding ofcity and state operationsthat any member on citycouncil. I have a networkof other elected officialsboth locally and at thestate level thatprovidesacrystal ball into expectedstate and local actionsthat can affect our resi-dents.

“By being proactiveover the last eight yearsas mayor, we have pro-tected city services, an-ticipated and made bud-get cuts prior to it beingnecessary, attracted newbusinesses, always main-tained abalancedbudget,have retained ourMoody’s Aa2 bond ratingwhile others have beendowngraded or lost, andwe have added park andgreen space.

“My background withover 16 years in the pub-lic sector and in the 34years of business experi-

ence in theprivate sector,with innovation and cre-ativity, makes meuniquely qualified. Thebest endorsement of myleadership has beenhigh-lighted by the new devel-opment progress, theawards we have receivedincluding 'Best Home-town' by Ohio Magazine,rated No. 2 out of morethan 130 cities in Ohio asthe ‘Best City to Raise aFamily,’ ISO rated build-ing department, multipleICMA awards for use ofperformance measures,nationally accreditedfire and EMS coverage,the real estate marketpushing Loveland as theplace to buy, and toomany others to list.

“I want to thank theresidents of Loveland forcontinuing to support meinmyrole onCityCounciland asMayor throughmylast four and now myfifth election represent-ing them in our greatcity.”

Weisgerber: I’m obvious choice for mayor

Weisgerber

YOUR TURNWhich of the members

of Loveland’s new coun-cil, which will be sworn inDec. 2, would you like tosee as mayor? The sevenare: Linda Cox, MarkFitzgerald, Pam Gross,Paulette Leeper, TedPhelps, Angela Settell andRobWeisgerber. Sendyour nomination andreasons why to [email protected].

A “Shantytown” built ofcardboard boxes rose up onthe Loveland High Schoolgrounds Thursday eveningand Friday morning, Oct. 3and Oct. 4.

“I think we should knowabout homelessness,” Love-landHighSchool studentJoshLeonard. He was among 40students who spent the nightin a cardboard box learningfirst-handwhathomelessnessis like.

“It’s a learning experi-ence,” he said. “It just feelsgood to raise awareness forthe homeless.”

The students ate “hobosoup,” heard from aman whohas experienced homeless-ness, and from Loveland Po-lice Chief Tim Sabransky;theywatched themovie “Pur-suit of Happiness,” and thendeliveredapowerfulmessagetootherLovelandHighSchoolstudents when they arrivedfor classes Friday morning.

“There was no rain over-night,” said Beth Wexler, fac-ulty leader for the eventwhich was student-led by Ra-chel Jones, Jade Worely andOlivia Stanton.

“It was moist. Most of thecardboard boxes were col-lapsing by 5 a.m. The eventwent off without any prob-lems. We’ll probably do itagain next year.”

LOVELAND—Taking over theLovelandHigh School girls bas-ketball program isHerb Laugh-man, who was hired inMay andapprovedtheLovelandBoardofEducation in June.

Laughman has served asLoveland’s girls track coachand has coached boys and girlsbasketball at previous stops atBradford High School, De-fiance College and Fairlawn

High School.Last year’s La-

dy Tigers fin-ished 2-12 (1-11 inthe Eastern Cin-cinnati Confer-ence).

Megan Suderand Julie Copferreturn as start-

ers, with Copfer coming off ofECCsecond-teamhonorsatcen-ter.Asa freshman,Copferaver-aged 9.1points per gameand 6.8rebounds.

Along with the 6-foot Copferand 5-foot-6 senior Suder, Love-land will be led by 5-foot-9 sen-ior Terah Lay and sophomoresHailey Bauer, Tori Fergusonand Alyssa Stahl.

Laughman likes his team’swork ethic, attitude and togeth-erness.

“It’s hard to buy into a newcoach,”Laughmansaid. “I cred-it the girls for doing that so far;especially the seniors.”

Loveland starts the seasonNov. 30 at Colerain. The homeopener is against McNicholasDec. 2.

CHCA» The Eagles posted an 8-14

record last year, including a 5-8mark in the Miami Valley Con-ference.

Former NBA player RonnieGrandison returns for his sec-ond stint as head coach withwhat he said should be a much-

improved team.Returning is senior shooting

guard/small forward MarissaKoob, who led the team in scor-ing and rebounding as a junior.She committed to play collegebasketball at the University ofCharleston next season.

Also back are junior PaigeDisagie and Samantha Ross,who is coming back from inju-ries her sophomoreyear. JuniorNaomi Grandison, the coach’sdaughter, transferred to CCHAfrom the Lakota district to playfor her father. Sophomore KatWilliams returns for her secondseason at the point.

“We’re athletic,” coachGrandison said. “I would saywe’re going to get up and down

the floor, play up tempo, try topush the ball.We’ll be a little bitof everything (on defense).We’re going to go hard.”

Which they’ll have to do ifthey want to improve theirfourth-place finish in theMVCayear ago.

“From what I saw last year,Summit is the one that alwayscomes up with a good team andNorth College Hill always hasgood athletes,” Grandison said.“I think we’ll fare pretty well,though.”

CHCAopens at homeNov. 22against Little Miami beforetraveling to Monroe Nov. 26.

Mount Notre Dame

»Dr. Scott Rogers re-turns to coachMount No-tre Dame after a coupleof seasons on hiatus.

Between 2001 and2007, Rogers won twosectional titles, one staterunner-up and two Divi-sion I state champion-ships. Stepping aside toassist in 2007, MNDwenton tomake it three of fourstate titles.

From 2008 into the2010-11 season, Rogerscoached at Indian Hill.

He inherits a teamthatwas 14-11 last season and6-4 in the GGCL-ScarletDivision (now the GirlsGreater CatholicLeague).

Top returners for theCougars are junior Nao-mi Davenport and sopho-more Abbie Scholz whowere first team all-league. Junior Blair Car-lin made second team forMND.

Rogers will also becounting on senior SaraVoss and juniors MaddySouth and Dani Kissel.South and Kissell were inlast year’s starting lineupalongwithDavenportandCarlin.

Round out the MNDvarsity are seniors LibbyHoctor and Kristi Dun-can, juniorsMaryLavelleand Nicole Crace andsophomores Celina Kingand AbbyWeeks.

Mount Notre Damestarts the season at Lako-ta West Nov. 26. The Cou-gars return home to hostSeton Dec. 5.

“I like their commit-ment to getting better,”Rogers said.

Ursuline Academy

» The Lions went 20-5last seasonon theway toaGirls Greater CatholicLeague championship.Third-year head coachKeith Starks – the formerUniversity of Cincinnatistar – graduated five sen-iors from that team, in-cluding two starters.

Senior Sarah Reilly –who committed to playnext season at the UnitedStates Naval Academy –returns for her third sea-son as a starting forward.Also back are juniorguards Aly Schirmer andMegan Oglivee. SeniorforwardChristieMiller isbackaftermissingher ju-nior season with an ACLinjury.

“After that,we’repret-ty inexperienced,” Starkssaid. “We have two fresh-menwhoaregoingtoplayvarsity. It’s going to be aprocess. We should begoodbytheendof thesea-son, but it’s going to takesome time.”

Look for the Lions toplay man-to-man defenseand press to elevate thetempo of the game.

“With an inexperi-enced team, you want togive them a chance to getsome easy baskets intransition,” Starks said.

While Ursuline is thedefending league champ,Starks said Mount NotreDame should be the teamto beat in the GGCL. TheCougarsreturn fivestart-ers, as well as formerstate champion coachScott Rogers. McAuley,with a pair of Division Icollege prospects atguard, should also chal-lenge for the title.

Ursuline opens theseason Nov. 23 at Cincin-nati State facing Syca-more.

LIBERTY TWP. — Whatbegan as a track meetended as another Love-land High School blow-out as Coach Fred Cran-ford’s Tigerswent to12-0with a 45-14 victory overNorthwest Nov. 15 in theDivision II playoffs.

The two teams tradedpunches early as Love-land senior Alex Hessescored at 8:53 in the firstquarter on a 26-yard run,only to see Northwestsenior quarterback CoryRoberson find the “landof six” less than twomin-utes later.

Before the quarterwas up, freshman LukeWaddell scampered 65yards for Loveland; ju-nior DeVohn Jacksonwent 13 for the Knights;thenseniorGunnerGam-bill scored from19 yardsout to end frame one at21-14.

The game of pigskinping pong ended in thesecond quarter when theonly scoring came on ju-nior Evan Burig’s 24-yard field goal tomake it24-14 at the half.

With 4:06 left in thethirdquarter, sophomorequarterback Drew Plittran for a five-yard touch-down and it was 31-14.

The rout was on in thefourth, with Plitt againscoring from three yardsout. Gambill then put the“finishing move” onNorthwestwitha53-yardscore as Loveland wonbig 45-14.

Thescorecappedoffacareer night for Gambillwho ran for 242 yards,more than his previous

three games. His 22 car-ries were also a seasonhigh.

“I’ve never had agame like this where Igot so many touches,”Gambill said. “I spentmywhole life as a legitimatefullbackwhere Iwas just

blocking. I came in thisyear not expecting muchbecause of Slagel. Oncehe went down, I knew Ihad to step up because Iknew I was going to begetting the ball more.”

Freshman Luke Wad-dell also continued to

give opposing defensesfits with 198 yards. Henow has 1,220 yards onthe season.

Junior Nate Slagelwas Loveland’s leadingrusher at 1,340 yards buttorehisACL in theeighthgame. Should the Tigerscontinue towinandGam-bill continue his pace,Loveland could conceiv-ably have three 1,000-yard rushers.

“Gunner Gambill,next best in, he’s done aphenomenal job,” Cran-ford said. “I’m proud ofhim for carrying every-thingoutwithhischinup.Hegot somehard-earnedyards.”

Defensively, after thefirst quarter, the Tigersshut Northwest down.Loveland outgainedthem 569-187 and out-rushed the fleet Knights504-84. Cranford’s crewhas still not given upmore than two touch-downs in one game.

Their next test comesagainst 11-1 MountHealthy, who got byWin-ton Woods 13-10 Nov. 15on a late fourth-quartertouchdown. Many hadhoped for a WintonWoods rematch (Love-land won 7-6 Oct. 11) butthe Owls got the finalhoot on the Warriors toadvance.

“A lot of people wantthis and a lot of peoplewant that,” Cranfordsaid. “At the end of theday, that’s why we playthe game. We’re going topush forward.”

A win over MountHealthy would put Love-land a game away from astate championship con-test.

CINCINNATI — Just asthey did in their run to thestate title last year,Moell-er will have to get by Col-erain to continue north.

The Crusaders handedElder their first shutoutof the yearwith a 24-0 vic-tory Nov. 16 at NippertStadium. The win putthem against Colerain forthe second-straight yearas the Cardinals defeatedPickerington Central 38-20 to earn another shot atMoeller.

Moeller/Elder Part IIwas scoreless for the first12 minutes. Then, the sec-ond quarter belonged toMoeller with two scorescoming within two min-utes of each other.

At the start of the stan-za, Gus Ragland made anice ball fake andkept thepumpkin to score fromeight yards out just 27seconds into the frame. Acouple of minutes later,the Crusaders were inscoring position againthanks to a pick by OhioState-bound Sam Hub-bard.

The drive stalled, butsophomore kicker Mat-thew Coghlin drilled a 37-yarder to put Moeller up10-0 with 9:33 left in thehalf.

For Elder, the first halfwas uneventful with toprunning threat ChrisSchroer being held to sev-en yards on three lugs.Sophomore quarterbackPeyton Ramsey wasforced to throw 23 times,completing13,butwith in-

terceptions by Hubbardand senior Will Mercurio.

“Our defense playedreally well,” MoellerCoach John Rodenbergsaid. “I think they wereforced to throw the ball alittle bit more than theywanted to. That’s a greatfootball team and wecameupwithagreat shut-out. That’s tough to do.”

After a scoreless thirdquarter, Moeller seniorquarterbackGusRaglandfound the endzone again.This time, itwasbybreak-ing several tackles anddiving in after a 69-yardgallop. Ragland finishedas the game’s top rusherwith 126 yards on 21 totes.

“Gus is the heart andsoul of the offense,” Ro-denberg said. “Wedependon him tomake good deci-

sions.”The icing on this GCL-

South cake came whenWill Mercurio picked offhis second pass of thegame and rolled for a 58-yard touchdown in frontof the Moeller studentsection.

In all, theCrusaders in-tercepted Elder quarter-back Ramsey five times.Bydefault, hewas alsoEl-der’s top rusher with 43yards as senior ChrisSchroer was held to 20.

For Moeller, Raglandthrew just 15 times, com-pleting seven. Moelleroutrushed Elder 243-63.Doing that against Cole-rain won’t be as easy. TheCardinals’ bread and but-ter is running the football.Last year’s contest was a24-21Moeller victory.

Moeller and Colerainface off Nov. 23 at MasonDwire Field at AtriumStadium at Mason HighSchool.

A publication of

High school football, Hal-loween, autumn leaves andcooler temperatures bringwith it the desire by many toget outdoors, breathe the freshair, enjoy the changing season,and watching the sun go down,and yes, the desire for theoccasional bonfire.

One man’s bonfire turns intothe neighbors’ fear for theirsafety as they watch in curi-osity as the neighbor keepsadding more and more andmore wood to the fire until theglow lights up the night skylike a Rozzi Fireworks show.

We all like the crackling fireon a cool evening as we enjoyour backyard fire pit, fireplaceor chimenea. It is kind of aright of living in the suburbs.Well yes and no. Yes we canhave fires, but that rightcomes with rules, regulations,responsibility and oh yeah…common courtesy.

The OhioEPA and theOhio Fire Codeclearly list therules and reg-ulations gov-erning theseoutdoor oropen fires, butthey don’tgovern theresponsibility

or common courtesy aspect ofliving in a residential suburbancommunity. A week does notgo by where my phone doesn’tring with a complaint from awell-intentioned resident whowould like to have the burningnext door stopped or con-trolled.

The time when we want tohave a fire out back is thesame time that our neighborwants to open their windowsand enjoy the fresh air. Nowwe have a conflict as we fill

our neighbors home full ofsmoke and the odor of incom-plete combustion. Today’s newhomes also have furnaces thatrequire outside make-up airand our furnaces pull in odorsto our dismay.

Solution, go to www.lsfd.organd read the guidelines foropen burning and follow thesize of the fire, the distancefrom buildings, and what ma-terial you can burn. Then re-member to extinguish yourfire completely, and don’t let itsmolder. The smoldering phaseis the worse for creating offen-sive odors.

One last thing, please showyour neighbor some courtesy. Ifind that usually starts withgood communication.

Nov. 13 questionSeveral major retailers and

malls will be open for holidayshopping throughout Thanks-giving Day. Is this a good ideaand do you plan to plan to takeadvantage of the extendedhours? Why or why not?

“Enough is enough. Give ita break. Not only for would-beshoppers but the retailers’semployees. They deserve alife as well. All stay home,watch football. Eat turkey. Re-lax for one day.”

T.B.

“I think the extended hoursare horrible - so unfair to thestoreemployeeswhowill haveno time at all with their fam-ilies, and sowrong to commer-cialize a holiday to the pointthat it disappears altogether.

“But we the consumershave brought this upon our-selves, with our willingnessfirst to get up at dawn on Fri-day and then go out at mid-night on Thanksgiving. Nextyear I am sure stores will beopen all day.

“The only way to end this isto simply not go. I have nevershopped on this weekend, atall. I wish others would alsospend this time with family.

“The retailerswill offer thedeals later if we just don’t re-spond to the Thanksgivingsales.”

J.R.B.

“This is a very stupid ideaand no I will not play into thegreed of corporations.What isThanksgiving but a day ofthanks when families can gettogether. Now I hear thatKrogers is going to be open ’til5 p.m. to accommodate lateshopping needs.

“Corporations are becom-ing less and less family orient-ed and the stupid people thatkeep playing into their handsand shopping are just asmuchto fault.Why dowe keep push-ing society to the needs ofgreed? What is the old saying:

put off today what you can dotomorrow.

“Wake up people, if no oneshows up on holidays to shop,I’m sure the storeswill extendthe sales to the following dayto entice all your shoppingneeds. Don’t be stupid, play itsmart - all your going to do iscomplain about the crowds,salespeople, and that youcould not find what you want-ed anyway.”

D.J.

“No, I and the rest of the ex-tended family (friends)will bedozing, shootingpool, andgen-erally grousing about toomuch turkey. This is whatThanksgiving is all about.

“Ifanyofmyguestsweretoleave early to shop theywouldnot be invited next year. Thisis the one holiday that no mat-ter what your beliefs, politics,or any other hang-ups they donotmatter. It is anoccasionforthoseofusfortunateenoughtohave themeans toput togetherthis repast to be thankful.

“My sincere hope is that nooneshowsupat thosestores. Ifdinner and discussions withlovedonesmeanso little toyouthink about giving that timeaway from the table to helpserve themany less fortunate.That would be a true celebra-tion of all you have, to givesomething to others.”

NEXT QUESTIONSDo you think President Obamawill be able to keep his prom-ise that Americans will be ableto keep canceled health insur-ance policies for a year ascompanies and consumersadjust to the new demands ofthe health care law. Why orwhy not?

The Fisher decision in Tex-as has caused me to do addi-tional thinking about educa-tion.

Some people may take whatI am going to say as preju-diced or against social pro-gress. That is certainly not myintention. There are seriouswrongs in our education sys-tem. The use of affirmativeaction to level college enroll-ments is a serious mistake.Inner city schools are failingtheir students by not givingthem standards equal to saidbetter schools in suburbia.When a future student is se-lected because he or she was

in the top 10percent of oneof those failinghigh schools,that studentmay be at aserious disad-vantage whencompared tothe other stu-dents.

When I wasteaching at a small rural com-munity college, many of mystudents were from low in-come homes and were juniorsand seniors at the local highschool. They were given theopportunity to go to college by

the school board and encour-aged by their parents to takethis challenge.

As a volunteer, my rewardwas to see them succeed. Itwas with great pleasure that Isaw them go on to bachelor’sand higher degrees. Writing aletter of recommendation forthem was not a task, but anaffirmation that education wasa cooperation between thestudent, their family and ateacher who prized their fu-ture. It was there that I be-came aware that it is not whatgoes into the college thatcounts, but what comes out ofit.

For every problem therehas to be a solution. Here ismine. Every applicant to col-lege should be given a randomapplication number that has noidentifiers. The only qualifiershould be in the case of an allmale or female institution. Astandardized test should beused for qualification.

Certain allowances may bemade for children of alumni ordonors. Acceptances wouldthen be made based on thescores on the admission test.

The advantage to this typeof system is that it wouldcause public education in theinner city to actually teach the

students. Each system wouldbe graded by the percentageof students that applied andwere accepted into college.Those schools would have astrong incentive to see that theparents are involved in theeducation of their children.

My final qualification isthat each college would haveto make public the percentageof students that graduate andthe number of graduates thatfound employment within fourmonths of graduation.

Detecting breast cancerearly – before symptoms begin– can save lives. That’s why it’sso important for women toundergo regular breast cancerscreenings as part of a preven-tive health care regimen.

The risk of breast cancerincreases with age, with 60 asthe average age for first breastcancer diagnosis in the UnitedStates. However, many young-er women are diagnosed withbreast cancer, and detectionsteps should begin in earlyadulthood.

Starting in their 20s, womenshould learn about the benefitsand limits of breast self-exami-nations. Performed correctly, aself-exam is a systematic,step-by-step method for de-tecting changes in breast tis-sue. By performing self-examsregularly, women can becomefamiliar with how their breastsnormally look and feel so thatchanges become noticeable.Women should report anychanges to their physicianimmediately.

Most experts recommendthat woman in their 20s and30s also receive a clinicalbreast exam at least once ev-ery three years. Performed bya medical professional, theseare a good opportunity to learnhow to conduct a self-exam.

Physicians generally recom-

mend thatwomen beginhaving annualmammogramsat age 40.Women athigher risk –for example,those with afamily historyof breast can-cer – should

consider other screening testsas well. The American CancerSociety recommends that high-risk women have annual mam-mograms along with anMRIbeginning at age 30.

High-risk women includethose who:

» have the BRCA1 orBRCA2 genetic mutation;

» have a parent, brother,sister or child with the BRCA1or BRCA2 genetic mutation;

» have a lifetime risk ofbreast cancer of 20 to 25 per-cent, based on recognized risk-assessment tools;

» had radiation therapy ofthe chest between the ages of10 and 30;

» have Li-Fraumeni syn-drome, Cowden syndrome orBannayan-Riley-Ruvalcabasyndrome, or who have a par-ent, brother, sister or childwith one of these conditions.

Recently, beliefs about thevalue of certain screening

procedures and when theyshould be done have come intoquestion. In the face of contra-dictory information, the bestthing to do is consult with ahealth care professional whosecounsel you trust.

When cancer is detectedA positive diagnosis for

cancer presents women andtheir doctors with a number ofchoices for next steps. Thesecan include:

» surgery;» chemotherapy;» radiation therapy;» hormone therapy;» bone-directed therapy;» targeted therapy.For some patients, an addi-

tional option is a clinical trial.Clinical research concerningbreast cancer has resulted innew treatments and improvedoverall survival, and are care-fully designed tests of medi-cines and treatment options.These studies offer patientsthe opportunity to receive newmedicines or treatments thatare not available to the generalpublic. There are numerousclinical trials available in thetri-state area. Visit www.oh-care.com to view some avail-able opportunities.

Ethan Kadish loved play-ing baseball. Before hewas injured by a light-

ning strike in June, he playedfor coach Carl Huether in theLoveland Youth Baseball Or-ganization.

OnSunday,Oct.13, theLYBOsponsored the first Ethan Kad-ish Home Run Derby to raisefunds to help Ethan’s recovery.Hundredsofyouthshowedupatthe Loveland Middle Schoolbaseball fieldswithbaseball batin hand ready to hit home runsfor Ethan.

“I coached Ethan for fiveyears,”Huether said. “He’s justa phenomenal kid. I couldn’t askfor a better player. We wantedto come out and support Ethanand his family for the long roadahead.”

Ethan has been in CincinnatiChildren’s Hospital for the lastseveral months undergoing ex-tensive therapy torecover fromthe brain injury suffered whenlightning stopped blood and ox-ygen flow to his brain. He’ll bereturning home to continue hisrecovery in the next two tothree weeks. The family facesmany expenses beyond insur-ance coverage to modify thehome and provide care for Eth-an.

“We’re out here today tryingtoraise funds tobenefithis fam-ily, to pay medical bills whichare adding up daily; as well asmodifications to the home,”Huether said.

Huether says theycouldhan-dle 400 hitters at $10 each for10swings. It was for 8-16 year-oldswith prizes in every age catego-ry. More than 225 showed upand several were hitting morethan once. A lot of local Love-land businesses stepped up tohelp, as did the Cincinnati Redsand Bengals.

“We’vehada lot of kidsdoingrepeat hits. We’re maxed out atcapacity,” he said. “Onekid senthis dad to theATMfor $50 so hecould hit five times. Lovelandhas come out in full force.”

Zach Reichman, 14, hasknown Ethan since kindergar-ten. He launched a few over thefence to help out his friend.

“I came out to help Ethan, tosupport himwithall hismedicalneeds, and have a good timewith all my friends,” Reichmansaid. “I feel really good seeingall thismoneyweareraising forEthan.”

There were booths set up tosell “Team Ethan” T-shirts, and

a bid-n-buy auction was held af-ter to help raise funds for theKadish family. With baseball’srocketingover the fences,Alex-ia and Scott Kadish expressedgratitude for all the supportLoveland is showing for theirson.

“I don’t think it is a coinci-dence we moved to Loveland

and the word love is in thename,” Alexia said. “It is ascommunity that has surround-ed us with love and support.”

She says not just Loveland,but the surrounding GreaterCincinnati community has ral-lied around them from the mo-ment this began.

“It’s likeapebbledropping ina pond of water,” Scott Kadishsaid. “The ripple effect andEth-an’s story is resonated with hislocal community, his friends,his family, with nearby commu-nities, and nationally. People re-late toEthanasoneof theirown.He’s a team player.”

That’s what you could seeSundayat theHomeRunDerby,team. Team Ethan came out inbig numbers to show their sup-port, and love for Ethan and hisfamily. The Kadish’s expectEthan to be home within thenext month, but they know theroad to recovery is still a verylong one. Slow and steady willbe the path for Ethan’s ultimaterecovery.

“As he continues to heal, he’sgoing to rely on this big teamthat he’s built,” said Scott. “He’sstrong and he’s going to con-tinue to work on recovery.”

Next week, our Com-munity Press kitchenswill be buzzing with ac-tivity, from drying thebread for the stuffing tomaking “must have”traditional pumpkin des-

serts.A re-

minder:Give yourfrozenturkeyenoughtime tothaw. Myexperienceis that ittakes a lotlonger to

thaw than the packagestates. If it’s not thawedin time, put the wholething, wrapped, in coolwater and change thewater about every halfhour until thawed. Alsoremember those who arealone, or can’t get out.Send a card, give them acall or, best idea, invitethem to your table. Andno matter how you spendthis holiday, rememberalso that having someplace to go is home, hav-ing someone to love isfamily and having both isa blessing.

B4 • LOVELAND HERALD • NOVEMBER 20, 2013 LIFE

St. Columban Schoolstudents learned first-handwhat life is like in theHoly Land. A Nazarethschool principal visitedthe Catholic school inLoveland during a visitwith Project HOPE.

“Evet Sayegh is a prin-cipal at a Latin Patriarchschool in Nazareth,” saidAlison Bowling, a second-grade teacher at St. Co-lumbanwhovisitedEvet’sschool during Project

HOPE’sHoly Land tour inthe summer of 2012.“HOPE is a project forHoly Land Outreach toPromote Education.”

The program is fo-cused on sendingCatholicschool teachers and ad-ministrators to the HolyLand to help improve edu-cation there. In turn,teachers and administra-tors fromtherecomehereto learn more about ourschools first-hand, and toshare their culture.

“We got to go into theclassrooms; we got to see

the classrooms,” Bowlingsaid. “We were with theteachers. We take a lot ofour resources for grant-ed. Their classrooms arebare. They don’t have alot, but their kids stilllearn and are happy. Thatwas a big eye-opener forme.”

Sayegh came to Bowl-ing’s classroomtoseehowthe classroom is set up,howthecomputersaresetup, and things in the class-room. Sayegh took photosto take back to her school.She also came to learnabout American peoplelive.

“I want to learn howtheyare living;what is thereal life of the Americanpeople,” Sayegh said. Iheard a lot about theAmerican people, but Ifound they are differentthan what I heard. Theyare kind, lovely, and havehumanity. I love them.”

Sayegh showed stu-dentsavideoofherschoolhoping to share the goodmission of her school. Shewanted to let the kidsknow they are good peo-ple, not to be afraid. Shespentoneday inBowling’sclassroom talking with allthe second-grade stu-dents.

“My kids wanted toknow about her as a per-son; about her as a princi-pal,” Bowling said.

“They’re just excited tohave someone from theHoly Land visit them.”

Sayegh brought theHolyLandto life for them,not just a place they readabout in books. Theywereamazed to meet someonewho lives there, and theyhad questions for her.

“Where do you live,”one student asked. “Naza-reth,” Sayegh answered.

“Do you live near Je-sus,” another inquired.“About one hour and 30minutes by car to whereJesus lived,” she respon-ded.

Her favorite place inthe Holy Land is Bethle-hem, “because Jesus wasborn there.” She lives “al-most next door” to whereMary lived.

Enthusiasm was highaschildrenjumped,handsheld high hoping to becalled upon next. Sayeghsmiled and approachedeachchild to listen to theirquestion. They askedabout language, thesizeofher school, religion, holi-days, and all you wouldimagine second-gradestudents might ask; whatgames theyplay, andwhatthey look like. (Just likeus, by the way, her oldestson, a doctor, even hasblue eyes like the boywhoasked the question)“Same as mine,” the boyasked, in awe.

“I liked how she wasreally nice,” said SophieRudol, St. Columban sec-

ond-grader. “I liked herpresentation very much.That was my favoritepart.”

After her presentation,they talked about whatwas the same and whatwas different. The kidsnoticed school uniforms,church, recess and games(soccer/futbol) were allthe same. Her school wasbigger and includes kin-dergarten through highschool graduation, butChristmas and Easter cel-ebrations looked similar.The biggest differencethey learned was lan-guage. Pupils there mustlearn their native lan-guage, Arabic, but alsomust learn Hebrew andEnglish in school.

“I liked the pictures,”saidEmmaAdkins, St. Co-lumban second-grader.“My favorite was whenthey were celebratingChristmas. We learnedMiss Evet lives in Naza-reth and Jesus livedthere.”

Sayeghvisited theUni-versity of Cincinnati, St.Mary School in HydePark, and spent anotherday in the St. Columbansixth-grade class of JaneDankenbring before sheleft to return home toNazareth. Sayegh’s warmsmile filled the classroomwith enthusiasm and joyas she shared her culturewith thestudentsatSt.Co-lumban. She was very ex-cited about what shelearned about life inAmerica; what she’ll taketo Nazareth.

“It is very interestingfor me,” Sayegh said. “Ithankeveryone. I feel likeI amwithmy second fam-ily here. They are veryloving, very kind to me,and cared forme. It mademe happy and glad to behere, not afraid. Peopleare nice and very, verywelcoming.”

NOVEMBER 20, 2013 • LOVELAND HERALD • B5LIFE

Deregulation has ledto lower utility rates forOhio customers, but itsalso led to a lot of confu-sion and aggravationamong some homeown-ers.

Some are confused bythe variety of differentrates offered, while oth-ers are aggravated at thehouse calls and phonecalls they are receiving.

Dozens of utility com-panies have entered Ohiolooking for business. Thesales tactics of somehave led people to be-lieve they were gettingcalled upon by DukeEnergy itself. Consumerstell me when they ques-tioned why the salesmanwanted to see their utilitybill they were told, “Oh,it’s all right, I work withDuke Energy.”

In fact, while Dukedoes bill on behalf ofthese utility companies,the companies are actu-ally in competition withDuke. Duke Energy’sSally Thelen said Duke isaware of this and con-

sumersshould notbe pres-sured.“Some ofthe con-cerns havebeen theaggressivetactics.Some folkshave told

us they’re feeling bullied.I would advise customersto read the contract,”Thelen said.

Some of the contractshave grace periods allow-ing you to switch onceyou sign up, while othercontracts have a cancel-lation fee if you choose toswitch.

In addition to makinghouse calls, some utilitycompanies are sendingout letters offering in-centives to get you tosign up. Incentives in-clude such things asfrequent flier miles and a$50 debit card.

But, perhaps mostannoying for some home-owners are the phone

calls which can be in-cessant. “It got to whereevery time we’d sit downto eat it seemed like theyhad a camera in thehouse because that’swhen the phone wouldring,” said Joe Ann Kern.

“I’ve just had themshow up at my door sev-eral times over the sum-mer always wanting meto switch, but I alwaysturned them down. Idon’t really understandit,” Robert Gillum said.

Well, in order to un-derstand it you have tocheck page two of yourDuke Energy bill. There,

you’ll find Duke’s PriceTo Compare section,which tells you the rateDuke is charging forelectricity. Currently, it’s6.13 cents per kilowatthour.

Dozens of companiesoffer competing electricrates and the best way tofind them is to check theOhio Public UtilitiesCommission website forits Apples to ApplesPrice Comparison chart.I found comparable ratesfor as low as 4.95 centsper kilowatt hour. But,you need to check theterms of the offer to see

how long the contractwill last and whetherthere are any cancella-tion charges.

Next, you can checkDuke’s price for naturalgas, which is found at thetop of page two of yourDuke bill. It says Duke’sprice is .5596 cents. Com-pare that to the PUCOComparison Chart fornatural gas prices andyou’ll find rates as low as.495 cents. But, onceagain, you need to care-fully check the terms ofthe contract includingthe contractual periodand cancellation charges.

If you switch yourelectric or gas fromDuke Energy nothingwill change with your bill– or the connections toyour home. Duke willstill deliver the electric-ity and the gas throughthe same lines and the“TransportationCharges” will continue toshow up on your bill.

You can go into any ofthe participating storesand purchase the decorat-ed gingerbread kids, oryou can order them spe-ciallydecoratedwithyourchild’s or grandchild’sname written on them.

“I believe it is impor-tant that we donate someof our resources to chari-ty, and there is not betterway than to help hurtingchildren,” saidGaryGott-tenbusch from ServatiiPastry Shop, and spokes-man for the Greater Cin-cinnati Retail Bakers As-sociation.

Cincinnati CountryDay first-graders recent-ly ventured outdoors for afield trip to explore waterin the natural world at theGreenacres pond site inIndian Hill.

Students learned thatthe pond is composed ofdifferent habitats, eachhome to a variety of crea-tureswith adaptations forlife in a watery environ-ment.

The first-graders useddip nets at the pond tocatch organisms for ob-servation. They found:dragonfly nymphs, dam-selfly nymphs, fresh wa-ter mussels, water strid-ers, tadpoles, boatman,

water beetles and aquaticsnails.

All were returned tothe pond after studentsobserved them throughan insect magnifier box.First-graders used a Ma-giscope to view plankton.

The students alsoheard about water avail-ability in the field andwoods, and checked logsfor salamanders.

At the stream table,they saw how watermoves soil and createschannels that meander,just as real streams do.

During the erosiontrays demonstration, stu-dents sawhoweffectivelyplants hold soil in place.
