The Loveland Police Depart-ment is getting new video re-corders that could be used asbody cameras in the future.

The city received a JusticeAssisted Grant from the OhioOffice of Criminal Justice Ser-vices for $15,269 to buy six mo-bile video recorders, six nearmounted cameras and one wire-less access point, City ManagerDave Kennedy said.

“This is an important projectfor the city. Our current (cam-eras) are all out of warranty.When they are shipped in for re-pair, we ultimately just end upwith new ones and a pretty ex-tensive cost,” Kennedy said.

He added an advantage is

that the mobile cameras arebody camera ready in case thecity would like to implementbody cameras for the LPD. Thewireless access point will alsomake it easier to upload policevideos.

The city will have to match$5,090 to cover the total projectcost of $20,359. Kennedy saidthe city budgeted for the fullamount of the project, so itsaved the grant amount.

The resolution to accept thegrant award passed by Love-land city council with a vote of6-0. Councilman Rob Weisger-ber was not present for the vote.

Ten Israeli visitorsspent the last week of Au-gust getting to know Cin-cinnati in person.

They were hosted byyoung Jewish profession-als including Sammy Kan-ter of Loveland, AdamGreenberg of Hyde Park,and Max Cobey and Bri-anna Pecsok of Wyoming.

The Israelis’ visit camea little more than eightmonths after a group ofyoung Jewish profession-als from Cincinnati visit-ed Israel in December.The exchange visits withsister city Netanya, Isra-el, is part of the CincinnatiCommunity Birthrightprogram sponsored by Ta-glit Birthright-Israel andthe Jewish Foundation ofCincinnati.

“We wanted Israeliyoung adults to see whatJewish life is like in Amer-ica; what young adult lifeis like in America,” saidKanter, who has visited Is-rael multiple times andled the group trip there inDecember “We had fourstaying with us here inLoveland.”

They came to know oneanother while touring thewhole country - the rootsof their Jewish faith. Thevisit to Israel drew themdeeper into their faith andtheir homeland. The Is-raelis’ visit to Cincinnatimay not offer the samefaith connection, but it

does offer plenty tostrengthen their personalconnection.

During a whirlwindweek the Israelis toureddowntown Cincinnati,Over-the-Rhine, the Free-dom Center, Plum StreetTemple, Hebrew UnionCollege, a Jewish and pub-lic school, attended a Redsgame and the Reds Hall ofFame, and made work-place stops at P&G Mar-keting, Cintrifuse, Stan-dard Textile, and the lawoffice of Katz, Teller,Brant and Hild. Whatstood out for them?

“The Reds game stoodout. They had literally noexposure to baseball.They had no idea what itwas,” Kanter said.“There’s such a culture.Everyone knows what todo, when to do it, what toeat, even how you cheer,when you cheer; things wedon’t really think about.They were fascinated.They felt like the wholeexperience was pureAmerica.”

Kanter calls the PlumStreet Temple a “Cincin-nati gem” and said the vis-itors from Israel were fas-cinated by it as well. It isfar more ornate thanthose they are used to athome. At home is exactlyhow Adam Greenberg feltin Israel.

“It was emotionally in-spirational,” Greenbergsaid. “There were definedmoments when I felt con-nected to home in Israel. I

was able to connect morespiritually in Israel.”

In fact, each of theyoung Jewish profession-als from Cincinnati feltthe “connection” to theirreligious homeland dur-ing the visit. It drew themcloser, inspired the rela-tionships. They stayed intouch sharing group up-dates every Friday abouthow the trip to Israel af-fected them in their dailylives. It led them to hostthe ten Israeli visitorshere.

“Fast forward eightmonths, they arrived, hadgotten off the plane, I metthem,” Greenberg said. “Iwas just overjoyed to seethem after eight months.”

They have names. Bar

Torbatti, Gili Sharon, Ya-hav Bronstien, RotemYaccobi, Chen Ganch,Dean Sinai, Tzlil Maimo-nie, Inbar Ayalon, SharlyMaimonie, and AmichaiMurdechay all stayed atthe homes of the hosts.Sharing meals, like break-fast before they begantheir day at the JewishCommunity Center, or thetraditional Shabbat Din-ner, created special mo-ments for the hosts andtheir visitors.

Brianna Pecsok said itwas really special beingable to share her Wyo-ming home with Tzlil Mai-monie, who opened herhome for them in Israel. Itwas nice for her to be ableto show what her home

and what her life is likehere. Everything Cincin-nati was a big deal forTzlil including stoppingthe car to get a photo of adeer. Pecsok didn’t get tospend the whole day withher guest every day. Shedid for all of the eveningactivities.

“It was good to debriefwith her after the day;kind of get her take onstuff,” Pecsok said. “Itwas more personal than ina big group discussion.They were interested inhow we practice Judaismhere. She was blown awayby the Freedom Centerhere.”

They live in a societythat is a Jewish society.They hear about Ameri-

cans and American Jews.This visit to the U.S., toCincinnati, allows them tomeet Americans andAmerican Jews and learnhow their faith is prac-ticed here. There are pro-grams and activities hereto support Jews in keep-ing their Jewish faithidentity alive. That issomething different thanwhat the visitors experi-ence at home in Israelwhere Judaism is theirculture.

“It is a personal jour-ney for each individual,”Cobey said. “I wanted toshow them Cincinnati, thecity I love, and build U.S.and Israeli relationships.”

Building relationshipsacross the globe with sis-ter city Netanya in Israelis only one part of the Jew-ish Foundation of Cincin-nati goal to keep the Jew-ish faith alive in theiryouth. Showing how weare all alike as people,brothers and sisters infaith, is a lesson learnedby these young Jewishprofessionals in our com-munity.

“We’re no differentthan anybody else,” AdamGreenberg said. “I’m nodifferent than you; you’reno different than me. Wejust have different be-liefs. It’s about helping outthe community. That goesa long way.”

Wowing family and friendswith the Thomas Kinkade pic-turesque kind of holiday meal isa fantasy for many.

Often times the meals cantransform even the most confi-dent cooks into a model for Ed-vard Munch’s “The Scream.”

With a little planning andkeeping your focus on what’sreally important, disaster can beaverted, retired Forest HillsSchool District administratorturned food blogger Diana Car-ter said.

The Miami Township, Cler-mont County, woman said thekey thing to keep in mind as thehectic holiday season begins is -it’s about family not the food.

“That’s the most importantthing you have to remember.And you don’t have to make (allthe food),” Carter said. “You canbuy some of it. Make a fewthings and purchase some of it,especially if it’s going to stressyou out. Make things you lovebut don’t try to make somethingbrand new.”

Another important tip in sim-plifying big meals is prep work.Do as much of the food prepara-tion as possible in advance, likechopping vegetables.

It is advice like this, alongwith great recipes that Cartershares on her blog/website OhioSoutherner. Just shy of a yearold, the site features southernfood with an Ohio flare, she said.

“That’s really what it’s about.It is southern food but I try tokeep things a little healthierthan my mom did,” Carter said.

Carter has been cookingsince she was a young girl, part-ly out of passion but mostly outof necessity. Her mom, MaryLou, was divorced and workedhard to raise four children onher own in Louisville, Kentucky.

“When I got home from

school I would call her and Iwould say ‘what do you want meto fix for dinner,’” Carter said. “Ilearned to cook over the phone.And of course I watched mymom cook over the weekend.”

On the weekends she cookeda lot. She prepared double-sizedmeals that could be transformedinto another meal during thework week. For example, theSunday pot roast would returnas beef hash or beef stew later inthe week.

This is a practice Carter, a re-tired educator of 40 years, con-tinued and perfected for herown family. She always madesoups on Sundays and extra ofother dishes. Whatever was leftwould be placed in the freezer.

“So I could always comehome and we could have what Icalled an oven dinner. It wouldbe just things I could pull out ofthe pantry or freezer and westuck it in the oven,” she said. Asthe dinner heated, Carter wouldprepare fresh vegetables with

olive oil, salt and pepper and tossthem in the oven to roast.

“It was always my way of try-ing to fix a nutritious meal formy family while I was still work-ing,” she said.

Over the years, Carter hasshared her cooking shortcutsand tips with other stressed andtime challenged educators andparents. And now Carter is shar-ing the same good informationon her blog and with her son,Phil, and daughter-in-law,Heather.

In fact, it was Phil’s andHeather’s questions about cook-ing that originally gave Carterthe idea to create a cookbook.She planned to use the same for-mat she was using to make hergrandson Gordon’s annual mem-ory books.

At the urging of friends, sheditched the cookbook idea andembraced the blog. Her son, adesigner by trade, designed thewebsite for her, showed her how

to use it, and turned it over.Like any good blogger, it

wasn’t long before Carter devel-oped other social media all fo-cused on her Ohio Southernerblog. Today, Ohio Southernercan be found on Pinterest, Face-book, Twitter and Instagram.

All of the skills Carter haslearned over the years in thekitchen and as an educator allcome together in the blog.

“That’s the fun of it. I feel likeeverything I learned as an edu-cator, I try to apply it when I usethe blog,” she said. “That’s thereason I take pictures step-by-step...I write it to try to make iteasy for anyone to do it.”

The blog continues to growand mature. Recently a galleryof recipes was added and cook-ing tips section is next.

Harald Zieger is pas-sionate about freedom.The roots of his passionrun deep in his life storyshared in his book “Free-dom’s Nightmare” re-leased in late October.

Zieger was raised inEast Germany, behind theIron Curtain; fully Com-munist and a card-carry-ing member of the Com-munist Party. His fatherwas American-born withAustrian roots, but movedback to Austria in 1934and was drafted into Hit-ler’s army in 1940. Thiswas not Zieger’s choice,but rather the circum-stances of a life chosen byhis ancestors.

Following his beliefsand the communist pathset for him, Zieger was agraduated engineer serv-ing at a Navy base. Some-how he came face-to-facewith the Word of God,publicly declared hisChristian faith and wasexpelled. The Milfordman came to the UnitedStates from Austria in2005 to find the freedomAmerica promised in sto-ries he heard and read.

“I soon realized theAmerica I knew frombooks I read about it wasnot the America I experi-enced,” Zieger said, ex-plaining how he came toshare and write his per-sonal story.

He founded a businesshere, traveled nearly2,000 miles weekly visit-ing customers across theMidwest, but discovereda different America thanhe expected. The Americadescribed in those books

he read was not here.Zieger wondered where itwas.

“It was gone,” he said.“It was strangled by reg-ulations and rules from agovernment which I con-sidered not the govern-ment the founders of theUnited States had in mindwhen they founded thiscountry.”

A strong statementfrom a German immi-grant settling in the U.S.;where his father was orig-inally born, his grandfa-ther died in 1986, andmany aunts, uncles andcousins returned in the’80s. Zieger does notspeak softly about what“our” founding fathersenvisioned for our coun-try. It is his speaking, pub-licly, passionately and fre-quently which firstbrought suggestions hewrite a book. First, hestudied another book.

“When I arrived, Ibought a book,” Ziegersaid. “It is the Constitu-tion of the United Statesand some of the FederalistPapers. I studied yourconstitution, I really stud-ied it.”

Zieger became con-cerned in 2006 as he lis-tened to news and talkabout a revised and re-formed version of theUSA Patriot Act firstpassed following Sept. 11.He advised everyone totell their representativesto vote no on it. He knewthis was about losing ba-sic individual rights toprivacy as clearly definedin the U.S. Constitution.

“The reason I was soagainst it was my experi-ence with the East Ger-man STASI (State Securi-

ty Police),” Zieger said.“It came to a point whereChristians were arrestedfor reading the Bible outloud in a public place. Stu-dents were expelled forsaying a prayer, even a si-lent prayer in school hall-ways.”

It is the same as the in-doctrination and commu-nism he experienced inGermany. Zieger was see-ing this in America. Hisconcerns grew. He toldhis story at church; wordof his story spread. Late in2008, he was asked tospeak about his experi-ence with the HeritageFoundation in Cincinnati.

It was a group of 30 to40, mostly women. Lessthan a month later, heagreed to attend a meet-ing which turned out to bea tea party planning meet-ing for their March 2009rally on Fountain Square.After some hesitation - toomany people - Ziegeragreed to be one of thespeakers. They told him it

would be 200 to 250 peo-ple.

“Fountain Square waspacked,” he said. “TheCincinnati police chiefsaid there were about5,000 people there. It waspacked.”

People responded wellto his story. A month laterit was Dayton and thenmore events and talk ra-dio. People began tellinghim to write his story.

“Finally, I’m speakingat all these events andpeople coming, saying‘Harald this is a uniquestory, you have to writethat down, people need toknow that,’” Zieger said.

“I’m not a writer, for-get about that.”

Callers on Brian Thom-as’s radio show pushedhim to write, Thomasmade an on the air plea tocallers to come forwardand help Zieger. Itprompted him to thinkabout titles for chapters.That made it easier and in

2010 he started to write. Injust a couple months, hehad written 70 pages.Then he stopped. He can’texplain why he stopped,but has an explanation forwhy he finally wrote“Freedom’s Nightmare.”

“This, I think, is reallyrelated to the work of ourLord when He tries to getyou doing something,”Zieger said.

Zieger had a visit froma friend who is a success-ful professional Christiansinger songwriter. Theytalked about her experi-ence with her first profes-sionally recorded CD.Her record company alsohad a publishing house. Itwas only a couple days lat-er Zieger made contactwith a publisher there. Hesent a professional bookproposal. They requesteda complete chapter. Oneweek later he received acontract in the mail.

Zieger had no intentionof signing the contract.Then he agreed to an in-terview with a man whowanted to include his sto-ry in a book he was writ-ing. During the interviewat Zieger’s home, that mantold him “You will signthat.” It was the final pushhe needed.

He signed the contractin December 2012. ByFebruary 2013 the firstfinished manuscript wasin the hands of the pub-lisher. A first edition was

released in May 2014. A fi-nal edit and revised edi-tion was just released inOctober 2015.

Zieger compares hislife in East Germany tobeing on a train, going thewrong way, but not by hisown choice. He completesthe analogy with the deci-sion to jump off that train.

“What if you find out allyou strive for, everythingyou want to do, collideswith your environment,but you have no right tochoose another direc-tion,” Zieger said. “Youjump, you risk your life.Against all odds we sur-vived that jump.”

Zieger hopes “Free-dom’s Nightmare” willhelp readers understand agovernment that controlseverything, controls ev-erything in your life andleaves you with no free-dom.

“When government isable to give you every-thing you want, it is alsoable to take everythingyou have,” he said.“It is ahuge mistake to think thatan all-powerful govern-ment can keep you safe. Itis not possible.”

Loveland High School

» It wasn’t your typical coatdrive.

Yes, large plastic containerswere placed around LovelandHigh School to collect items.

Yes, students responded tothe cause – donating a whopping300 items in November...butwhile the coat drive gave all ap-pearances of typical – if youlooked closely, you saw theunique twist. Quotes – hand-se-lected and some hand-writtenon fabric that was cut and at-tached inside the coats as a spe-cial, inspirational message tothe person who would receivethe gift.

“It was great to see studentsembrace the project,” LHSteacher and donation drive co-ordinator Bre Sambuchino said.“Some students wanted to re-search quotes for the children'scoats while others wanted tocome up with their own quotes.It was great to see them makepersonal connections to thequotes while providing a ser-vice to our neighbors in need.”

"I hope our students grewfrom the quote project,” Sam-buchino said. “I hope that thecoat recipients smile when theyread their quotes, and that onthat especially challenging daythat we all inevitably face, thatthe quote gives them hope andencouragement to keep going.Like the Aesop quote that is at-tached to some of the coats says,‘No act of kindness, no matterhow small, is ever wasted.’"

» November was a month toremember for the LovelandCity School District’s sustaina-bility efforts.

Hamilton County Recyclingand Solid Waste named Love-land High School teacher TracyBurge the Outstanding Recy-cling Educator, and, in addition,awarded the district a $10,000grant.

Loveland Area Chamber ofCommerce recognized the dis-trict by presenting the Sustain-ability Award to Loveland Su-perintendent Chad Hilliker atthe annual dinner.

“Thank you for recognizingone of our teachers, because it isreally her name that has be-come synonymous with sustain-ability,” Superintendent said ashe addressed the gathering ofbusiness leaders. “When youhear the name Tracy Burge youthink: passion, energy, and –perhaps most importantly forour students – inspiration. Onbehalf of the Loveland CitySchool District, I thank Tracyfor her dedication, and on be-half of Tracy, I thank the Cham-ber for this recognition.”

Since 2009, when Burge im-plemented the first recyclingprogram at Loveland HighSchool, she has led her environ-mental class in the followingachievements:

reduced waste generated by1,500 students to only two bagsof garbage each day in the LHScafeteria;

incorporated commercial

composting at both LovelandMiddle School and Loveland In-termediate School;

Loveland IntermediateSchool

» Katie and Corey Garrett’sfamily lives in Africa, and theyhave for 15 years.

This November, one of theirthree daughters – a fifth-gradestudent – got to spend time vis-iting face-to-face alongside herparents with Loveland Interme-diate School sixth-grade stu-dents, right from their Senegalhome.

“We talked with them for 45minutes about village life, lan-guage spoken there, whatschools are like; we saw the vil-lage from the cell phone andmore,” teacher Kristi Swartzsaid.

The tour was made possiblethanks to a Google Hangout ses-sion – guided by innovative in-structional coach Laura Holt-kamp. The conversation was acomplement to classroom workthe students have been involvedin through language arts; afterreading “A Long Walk to Water”by Linda Sue Parks, LIS stu-

dents participated in a Walk forWater Project – raising moneyto build a well in Africa. That’swork the Garrett family hasbeen actively engaged in duringtheir stay in Senegal.

“The family is working on awell project for four villages,”Swartz said. “Presently theyhave provided water for two vil-lages and have gotten a faucetin the village that residents cancome to for fresh clean water.This opportunity let us see first-hand how the water affects realpeople.

We got to see the outside areaand see rabbits they raise aswell. We got to hear accounts oflife in Africa and the challengesvillagers face day to day.

“Students further learned toappreciate what we have and of-ten take for granted. I hope tohelp the students see that theirwork, such as raising money forthe wells in Sudan can affectpeople's lives directly.”

Swartz said the GoogleHangout experience was a re-sult of a parent putting her incontact with the family in Sene-gal after the Walk for WaterProject. Email conversationsbetween LIS students and theGarrett family spurred the idea

for the Google Hangout session.Swartz said the lesson was alearning experience for her asan educator, and it has her look-ing to find more opportunitiesto show the world to her class.

“Real world understandingis available for our students likenever before,” Swartz said.“The more we embrace thetechnology that connects stu-dents to the real world – themore we engage students andcreate students who see trans-formation in the world is possi-ble.”

Mount Notre Dame HighSchool

» Mount Notre Dame stu-dents welcomed Michigan Su-preme Court Justice RichardBernstein to school Nov. 30.

As the nation’s youngest Su-preme Court justice and theonly Supreme Court justice whois legally blind, Bernstein of-fered students a unique per-spective on finding success andstrength through life’s obsta-cles.

As an advocate for peoplewith disabilities, Bernstein pro-vides a voice to those who wouldotherwise be silent. Through hisdiscussion, he empowered stu-

dents to recognize that one’sgreatest struggle in life, wheth-er it be physical, emotional orsocial, can also be one’s greatestblessing.

He spoke candidly about hisbackground stating, “I am notnaturally smart. I am a hardworker” and impressed uponthe students that it was becauseof his strong sense of spirit thathe has been able to achieve suc-cess.

Bernstein’s speech impactedboth students and staff.

Junior Sarah Schwartz ofLoveland said, “Mr. Bernstein issomeone I aspire to be on a dailybasis. Someone who loves everymoment life has to offer andsees the positive in everything.”

Bernstein was brought toMND by MND’s Youth Philan-thropy Council. YPC has adopt-ed the theme “BeYOUtiful” thisyear, researching non-profit or-ganizations that serve peoplewith disabilities. MND’s YPCwill be granting $5,000 to localorganizations this year.

You’ll never believe whatkind of “gift without ribbons” Ireceived last week.

Farmer Bruner, who livesdown the road, knocked on my

back kitchenscreen door. Hehad a five-gal-lon bucket ofhickory nuts onhis arm.

“I thoughtyou might likesome,” he toldme. What? Likesome? Howabout lovesome? “These

nuts came from trees firstplanted long ago by my dad onour farm,’ he said. He told meto shell a couple and plantthem, which we did.

Hickory nuts are so expen-sive when you find themshelled (if you can) at the gro-cery. So to have been given abig bucketful was both over-whelming and so very cool.

The thing, though, abouthickory nuts, is that they havean outer shell, which is fairlyeasily removed in four quad-rants. The inner shell, not somuch. Lucky for me our son,Jason, came over with two ofhis boys, Will and Jack, to helpsplit wood that same day. Icorralled Jack into helping mecrack nuts with bricks whileWill helped with wood. (Ifyou’ve never shelled a hickorynut, go to my website Aboutea-ting.com to see “how to” pho-tos by Jack). We used some ofthe hickory nuts in this classicmonkey bread recipe. Eating itwarm from the oven was a realtreat.

And oh by the way, I prom-ised Jack I’d make him someHarry Potter butter beer nexttime he comes over. I’m shar-ing both the monkey bread andthe butter beer recipes today.

Our high school seniors willbe considering where to go tocollege. Parents will be won-dering if they will be acceptedand if it be worth the cost.

I want to share some ideaswith you from a number ofdifferent standpoints. As abusinessman, I had a numberof valuable employees whoeither did not go to college ordid not complete a degree.What they had to offer was awillingness to try and a spiritto learn on the job and be com-petitive with more “educated”peers. They created personalvalue and were important toour business.

What I want to contend isthat many colleges are failingto create the value in gradu-ates that they are supposed to

produce. Manythings havechanged thatare beyondstudents con-trol. Many ofthe degreesthey offer aresimply to allowpoor and medi-ocre studentsto show aworthless

degree to a potential employer.And, as I have written before,the majority of professors arepolitically biased and bothteach and grade to their biases.

Consider the rules that holdback education, particularlyfor the inner city population.One could make a good caseclaiming that there are people

who do not think those childrencan compete with studentsfrom suburban areas. Charterschools are needed to improvethe situation. Those who op-pose the charter schools areguilty of keeping those chil-dren and their families in pov-erty due to poor education andthe lack of valuable experi-ences.

Admission to many collegesis based on the top 10 percentof the high school class regard-less of the standards of schoolfrom which they graduated. Itwould be better to give eachapplicant to all colleges a codenumber that would only beknown after all applicants areaccepted or rejected strictlyon merit. Competition createsvalue. Not only would this

create a better student body,but colleges could devote fac-ulty to teaching to genuineacademic standards. It is alsoimportant that many multi-hundred student classes taughtby teaching assistants shouldbe replaced by experiencedprofessors teaching meaning-ful lessons to motivated stu-dents.

Another valuable tool toinsure a proper educationwould be to devise a simplerating system that comparesthe cost of a degree from eachcollege with the time to get ajob related to the educationand a co-efficient of the cost ofthe education related to annualearnings over a period ofthree, six and 10 years aftergraduation. This would give

the selection process for pros-pective students and theirparents a valuable rating meth-od of determining the truevalue of each institution con-sidered. Admission to graduateschools for desired professionscould also be measured byacceptance rates and the ex-pected salary after completionof the graduate degree.

Many colleges have simplybecome a con game to defraudthe taxpayers who owe forunpaid college loans for worth-less degrees and wasted timefor unprepared students.There are some in governmentthat want to modify these loansat the expense of taxpayers.

Edward Levy is a resident ofMontgomery.

Is a college education worth expense?

Eighteen percent of ourregion’s population livesbelow the poverty level – thisaffects all communities fromWestern Hills to Downtownto Anderson Township.

A coretenet of La-Rosa’s Fam-ily Pizzeria isabout sup-porting fam-ilies in ourcommunityby helpingour neigh-bors in need.Childrenliving inpoverty are

particularly effected – inmany cases, these childrengo to school hungry and overthe holiday break, parentsdon’t have enough resourcesto provide the meals thatwould normally be providedin school or at after schoolprograms.

More than 44 percent ofCincinnati children in pover-ty go to school ill prepared; indirty clothes, without socksor wearing shoes that don’tfit. Some schoolteachers evenhave food and clothing clos-ets at school to help. Imaginehaving a household income ofless than $20,000 a year foryourself and several children– it doesn’t go far. Imaginehow you’d feel as a parentknowing that your child ishungry and having no re-sources to feed them. Or thatyour child doesn’t have a coatfor our frigid Cincinnati win-ters. This is a snapshot of theworking poor.

Nationally one in five chil-dren face hunger on a dailybasis. We all have a role toplay in ensuring that no childgoes hungry. Part of that roleis talking about “food insecu-rity” with friends, colleaguesand family to help raiseawareness of this criticalissue. Volunteering is anotherway you can actively help –The Freestore Foodbank,among other social service

organizations, seeks volun-teers, particularly during theholidays to ensure that all ofits clients receive the helpthat they need.

This holiday season, LaRo-sa’s is proud to once againsupport the Freestore Food-bank of Cincinnati to help theindividuals and families inour community.

Neighbor 2 Neighbor,schools work together

This in response to RandyKleine’s column in the Dec. 2issue:

Evidence based researchshows that diversity within theteaching staff of our schoolsnot only improves educationalequity, it helps to prepare chil-dren of all socio-economic andethnic backgrounds for lifewithin a diverse society.

Three members of color inNeighbor 2 Neighbor served aseducators within the MilfordSchool District. VirginiaMcCallum not only taught, butshe retired as a principal. Clau-dette Coleman, a member ofN2N, recalls how proud she

was to walk with the N2N floatat Frontier Day Parade withMrs. McCallum. “Along theentire parade route, there werecheers from the crowd asadults and children called out‘Mrs. McCallum!’”

With no black teachers inthe district due to retirementand attrition, N2N invited Mil-ford City School Superinten-dent Bob Ferrell to attend ameeting to discuss the lack ofdiversity within our teachingstaff. N2N members attendedschool administration meet-ings and offered suggestions inways to recruit qualified blackteachers into our schools. N2Nis an important ally of theschool system and is in aunique position to help them

achieve racial diversity ofqualified teachers within ourschools.

The mission of Neighbor 2Neighbor is to understand andrespect life experiences andcultures different from ourown, then help others under-stand by speaking againstinjustice and becoming anexample of love and compas-sion for all.

N2N meets on the fourthMonday of the month at 7 p.m.in the Christ CommunityChurch, Milford. For moreinformation, contact CharleneHinners (382 0251), ClaudetteColeman (886-6553) or Ed Al-ten (575-1515).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dec. 10 questionDo you agree with the deci-

sion not to prosecute the officerwho shot Trepierre Hummons,after he shot Cincinnati OfficerSonny Kim? Why or why not?

“I agree with the decisionnot to prosecute the officer. Hearrived onto and active shootersituation, where a fellow lawenforcement officer had justbeen shot and the shooter wasstill in possession of a fire arm.From the reports, the arrivingofficer’s car was shot at, andhe was lucky enough to get outof the vehicle and the commu-nity was fortunate that he wasable to kill the gunman beforeany more harm was done ei-ther to further law officers orthe community.

“The fact that prosecutionof the officer was even beingconsidered is insulting to lawofficers who put themselves inharm’s way everyday, workingto keep communities safe.”

C.S.

“Shouldn’t like to speculate.I don’t know what the prose-cutor’s office knew that madethem decline. Obviously thiswas an armed and dangerousfelon who had proven he wouldnot care who he shot. As in allshooting investigations, theofficer who shot Hummons,was thoroughly investigated.Given the political posturingthat has allowed the favoringof felons over law enforce-ment, I’m fairly confident that

any shred of liability wouldhave resulted in an indictment.The public is probably awak-ening to the concept that mak-ing police officers scapegoatsin specious lawsuits, certainlydoesn’t encourage anyone tobecome a police officer. Weneed that thin blue line morethan ever these days.”

D.B.

“Why is this even a ques-tion? Why would there ever bean iota of question whatsoeverabout prosecuting OfficerSandman for doing his job inthe only proper way it must bedone when faced with a de-ranged person intent on com-mitting suicide-by-cop, espe-cially after the perpetrator hadtaken Officer Kim’s life insuch a brutal manner?

“Officer Sandman should becommended and congratulatedfor his excellent performanceof duty in the most challengingsituation any police officerhopes never to be faced with.

Sadly there have been far toomany police involved shoot-ings recently and several ofthose have been questionable.The blatant murder of OfficerKim involved no such ambigu-ity. I am guessing that the sadmemories of everything thattranspired that day will hauntOfficer Sandman for the restof his life, but I for one, amproud of him, salute him andthank him for his professionalservice.”

M.J.F.

“If Officer Sandman had notshot Hummons, others besidesOfficer Kim could have beenwounded or killed. OfficerSandman deserves a medal notany prosecution. The goodnews is the various Reverend’s(Jackson and Sharpton et al)did not feel the need to getinvolved. Go Figure!”

LOVELAND – Always in the mixin the Eastern Cincinnati Confer-ence standings, the Loveland HighSchool girls bowling team will haveto do it with a new coach in 2015-16.

Brad Walker has moved toMount Notre Dame and DrenaCampbell takes over a team thatwas 13-6 overall last season and 10-4in the ECC behind Milford andthree-time champion Glen Este.

The Lady Tigers are highlightedby the return of state tournamentparticipant Taylar Hayden, the lonesenior on the squad. Hayden wasfirst-team ECC and third in theleague last season with a 186.4 aver-age.

Juniors Carlie Hicks and Malo-rie Scharfenberger are also return-ing starters.

“We have three returning talent-ed girls, as well as several newfreshman faces,” Campbell said.“Our team as a whole will be some-thing exciting to watch this year.This season will be exciting.”

The rest of the youthful Lady Ti-gers include sophomore Katie Ehaand freshmen Maria Eha, CaseyHenry, Maria Reich, Caitlyn Camp-bell, Molly Lipp and Micah Hicks.

The Loveland girls will join theboys team to face Anderson Dec. 16at Crossgate Lanes. Their show-down with defending championGlen Este will be Jan. 12 at CherryGrove and Jan. 14 at Crossgate.

Mount Notre Dame has calledon a veteran bowling coach to leadtheir program this fall in BradWalker. The Cougars have not won

a Girls Greater Catholic League ti-tle in 10 years and Walker may bethe man to rebuild the squad to thatlevel.

Previously at Loveland, Walk-er’s teams have always been pro-ductive and he finished behind pe-rennial Eastern Cincinnati Confer-ence powerhouse Glen Este the lastthree years. He has also taken hisbowlers deep into postseason tour-naments.

The Cougarswere 3-12 last sea-son and featuredGGCL honorablemention bowlerMolly McCudden.McCudden aver-aged 161.1 lastseason with ahigh game of 204.

Returning sen-iors along withMcCudden areSabrina Dunbar,Olivia Kettler,Emma Bensonand Rachel Tenley. Junior DorrieCoggin is also on the squad andWalker likes his sophomores andfreshmen.

In early season action, Tenleyhas led MND with an average in the170s and a high game of 206. Fresh-man Jordan Hallau has been in the160s.

“I’m expecting good things fromthese kids,” Walker said. “Withsome hard work on the 10-pin side,scores should move up. These kidscan all hit the pocket. It’s aboutworking hard to improve and com-pete. I think we’ll surprise a fewteams as the season progresses.”

LOVELAND – There’shope of an upswing in suc-cessful arm swings amongLoveland High Schoolbowlers this season. Theboys team that shared theinitial Eastern CincinnatiConference title in 2012-13,won just a pair of matchesin the competitive league

last season.Top rollers returning

for the Tigers are seniorChris McDowell and ju-niors Aaron Autin and Eth-an Bell. McDowell was asecond-team ECC pick ayear ago with a 173.7 aver-age and Autin made honor-able mention at 170.3.

Autin was in the lower180s for the Tigers duringthe early season with ahigh game of 205, while

McDowell was rolling inthe upper 170s.

Other starters includeseniors Trevor Bush andAidan Shumaker and soph-omore Wyatt French.

“Last season was quite astruggle,” coach Steve Ad-ams said. “We stuck togeth-er, put some time in duringthe off-season and have de-veloped some nice chemis-

Loveland’s Taylar Hayden returns to her seat after clearing the pins in a match against Glen Este lastseason.

Bowlers towatch

Taylar Hayden,Loveland - Statetournament partic-ipant and firstteam ECC lastseason.Rachel Tenley,MND - Senior hashad an average inthe 170s in theearly season.

The following are sub-mitted summaries forLoveland boys basket-ball.

» The Loveland men’svarsity basketball teamhosted the Spartans fromTurpin on Tuesday, Dec.8. Loveland used a strongfourth quarter to topplethe Spartans 61-45 andimprove to 4-0 on the sea-son, including a 2-0 rec-ord in the Eastern Cincin-nati Conference and ashare of the conferencelead.

The contest openedwith a spirited and fast-paced first quarter andthe Tigers taking a 17-15lead. In a highly unusualevent, the men in thestriped shirts didn’t call asingle foul in the openingquarter.

The game remainedclose with the Tigersleading 39-35 after threequarters. But with en-couragement from a loudTiger Nation, Lovelandwent on an 8-2 run to openthe final frame and takecontrol of the ball game,closing out a 61-45 confer-ence victory.

For the second consec-

utive game, a balancedoffensive attack helpedfuel the win. In the previ-ous game against With-row, the Tigers had 5players in double digitsin the scoring column.Against Turpin, five play-ers had eight or morepoints. Brady Funke andMitch Robinson lead theTiger scoring with 13points each. Drew Plittcontributed 12. MitchSuder had 10 and JacobClements had eight.

» The Tigers traveledto Milford Friday, Dec.11, in a game featuringtwo of the unbeatenteams in ECC conferenceplay.

In this hard-fought ri-valry game, the Eaglestopped the Tigers 49 - 44.The Tigers got off to aslow start in one of themore difficult environ-ments to play in the con-ference. A combinationof sloppy Tiger play andMilford’s raucous stu-dent section, The Flock,helped propel the Eaglesto a 14-7 first quarterlead.

The Tigers clawedback in the second quar-

ter, but a buzzer beaterthree pointer gave Mil-ford a 23-19 halftimelead. But the second halfsaw the Tigers climb allthe way back. With 1:42left in the third quarter,Loveland tied the game at31, the first tie since theopening tip. And with2:44 left in the game, theTigers took a 44-43 lead,their first of the game.

Unfortunately, Mil-ford closed the game on a6-0 run as the Tigersmissed three free throwsand some key shots downthe stretch.

Drew Plitt lead Love-land scoring with 15points and he dished out 3assists. Mitch Robinsonscored 9 points on threetreys and also dealt 3 as-sists. Drew Steinbrunnerhad 8 points and 5 re-bounds. And BradyFunke added 8 points, in-cluding two treys.

The Tigers recorddropped to 4-1overall and2-1in the ECC. The Tigershave big conferencematchups with Glen Esteand Kings this week.

The Tigers take on de-fending league championAnderson Dec. 16 at Cross-gate Lanes. They’ll startthe new year against Ame-lia Jan. 5 at Cherry GroveLanes.

Moeller returns twosecond-team GreaterCatholic League-Southbowlers in seniors BillyGorczynski and DavidSchneider. The Crusadersstruggled in 2015 at 1-17 inthe league and 5-19 overall.Dave Beiersdorfer is thenew Moeller bowlingcoach and a 1997 blue andgold graduate.

“Schneider was a statequalifier and did very wellin the districts,” Beiersdor-fer said. “Actually, theteam made it to districts,which was a big deal for us.Billy Gorczynski’s been‘Steady Eddie.’ He’s assmooth as can be and he’salways the same. He’srarely in trouble and solidlike a rock.”

The Crusaders beganwith tough matchesagainst Anderson and El-der, but have shown earlyimprovement.

“The Anderson kid hada300 in game one and a sec-ond kid had 10 straightstrikes in game two,”Beiersdorfer said. “We in-creased our total pins byabout 200 pins against El-der though.”

Moeller finishes 2015with a home match againstSt. Xavier at CrossgateLanes Dec. 17, then an ap-pearance at the SouthwestBaker Shootout Dec. 29.They begin the new year atthe Cincinnati High SchoolClassic at Western BowlJan. 8.

“We have a tough sched-ule, but I like bowlingagainst the best teams andseeing how we stack up,”Beiersdorfer said.

The last team other thanLa Salle to win a GCL Southbowling title? The St. Xavi-er Bombers. Seniors ChaseNeville and Ian Beck willlead the charge to returnSt. Xavier to the top, wherethey last finished in 2012.Newcomers Alvin Chaney(senior) and Garrett Litzin-ger (sophomore) will alsomake immediate impactson the varsity team.

“This year’s squad has abalance of new talent andreturning talent,” saidcoach Matt Hott. “Theyhave really come togetheras a team.”

Rather than paying at-tention to the teams theyare chasing in the confer-ence and the state, theBombers will focus all oftheir energy on self-im-provement.

“This year’s team goalsare to finish strong in tour-naments, make it to stateas a team, and to improveeach match,” said Hott. “Todo that we have to concen-trate on closing frames andnot to worry how otherteams are producing.”

“We’re definitely lookingto have a better season.There’s five or six teamsthat could win that Co-lumbus league everyyear, but I think we’reone of them.”

Among Moeller’s lead-ers are left wing Tony Le-Barge and defensemanCharlie Kresja. SeniorMichael Rawlings, juniorNoah Savage, sophomoreDerek Kariofiles andfreshman Jordan Walterare other go-to weaponsfor the blue and gold.

Kresja has playedfour years for Moeller,with the last three beingon varsity. He enjoys thechallenge of the CapitalHockey Conference andhas aspirations of a col-lege career.

“Colorado State andMichigan Tech are onesI’m looking at,” Kresjasaid. “Both have decentclub teams.”

LaBarge has also beena varsity player since hissophomore year. He hasplayed hockey since hewas 3. He lives in Leba-non, but gets his hockeyitch from his birthplacein upstate New York nearthe Canadian border. Af-ter the season, he’ll focuson his net skills in la-crosse, a sport he’ll playat Wittenberg.

“Hockey playersmake good lacrosse play-ers,” LaBarge said grin-ning.

ROSELAWN – MikeReeder’s Moeller HighSchool hockey squad isfamiliar with most of theexits between Cincinnatiand most towns north onInterstates 71 and 75.

However, his favoriteexit is Paddock Road,which leads back to theCrusaders “ice” homeaway from home, Cincin-nati Gardens.

Competing in thetough Capital HockeyConference based in Co-lumbus, Moeller oftenskates against teamswhose members got theirfirst pair of skates beforethey were walking.

Moeller’s White Divi-sion includes GahannaLincoln, Olentangy Lib-erty and St. Francis De-Sales. Dublin Coffman,Dublin Jerome, Olentan-gy Orange, St. Charlesand Upper Arlington arein the Red Division, withBishop Watterson, NewAlbany, Olentangy andThomas Worthington inthe Blue.

Due to the rugged win-ter menu, the record maysuffer, but the players de-velop toughness and bet-ter skills. Last year’ssquad was 9-20-1.

“We’ve got forwardsand defensemen and ourgoalies are better thisyear,” Reeder said.

Senior Braeden Bow-ra is also a fast skaterwith tremendous skillswho is overcoming a boutwith Krohn’s Disease.Prior to the season, hehad lost 25 pounds, buthas since gained fiveback and is working ongetting his “hockey legs”to return to form. Bowra

was diagnosed last year.“This is probably the

healthiest I’ve been in awhile,” he said. “I’mworking on putting theweight back on.”

The native of Torontohas played hockey for 13years and enjoys the his-tory of Cincinnati Gar-dens as it was modeledafter his hometown’s Ma-ple Leaf Gardens.

Reeder would like tohave Bowra’s quicknesson the ice and hopes tohave his full roster in tip-top shape all winter. In or-der to prepare for thegauntlet of games in thegray months, the Crusad-er coach amped up histeam’s conditioning andlifting efforts over thesummer.

“We went two moredays,” he said. “We wentfour days a week andskated one. We’re stilllifting now. We haven’t

stopped.”In addition to their

Ohio schedule, Moellerhas already traveled to atournament in SouthBend and also will play inToledo.

“We’re going to wherethe competition is,”Reeder said. “We’re notjust staying in our littlecorner of the state. We’repushing ourselves to bethe best we can. When it’sover, we can walk out ofthat rink with our headsheld high proud thatwe’re from Moeller.”

If you love your dog, li-cense it. That’s the mes-sage from Clermont Coun-ty Commissioners as theseason to buy dog licensesruns through Jan. 31.

Annual licenses cost$16 each; three year li-censes can be bought for$48, and permanent li-censes for $160.

Kennel licenses can bebought for $80, which in-cludes five tags, with $1for each additional tag.

Under Ohio law, dogsmust be licensed eachyear.

“A lost dog can be easi-ly returned to its owner if

it is tagged,” said Ed Hum-phrey, president of theClermont County Com-missioners. “If the dog isnot tagged, it is brought tothe county’s animal shel-ter where every effort ismade to locate the owner.But how much easierwould this be – and morefair to the dog -- if everydog in Clermont Countyhad its tag.”

The county animalshelter, managed by Cler-mont to the Rescue, takesin an average of 71 straydogs a month, directorKimberly Thomas said.The majority are neither

licensed nor micro-chipped, making it diffi-cult to get them home.“From April through No-vember, we were able toreunite 129 dogs with theirowners,” Thomas said.“Out of the 129 dogs, only28 had purchased tags andwere up to date.”

If a dog is untagged, theanimal shelter will keep itfor 72 hours; the dog isthen made available foradoption, fostering or res-cue. If the dog is tagged,the shelter will keep it forup to 14 days while staff at-tempt to contact the own-er.

In 2014, ClermontCounty licensed 18,982dogs and 39 kennels. It col-lected about $330,000 in li-cense fees, which supportthe animal shelter.

Dog owners can buytheir licenses at the Cler-mont County Administra-tion Building, 101 E. MainSt., Batavia, from 8 a.m. to4:30 p.m. Monday throughFriday. Licenses are alsoavailable through variousvendors from throughoutthe county, which can befound on the Auditor’swebsite here. Licensesbought after Jan. 31 arecharged a $16 late fee.

Members of the General Assem-

bly clearly voiced their support for

a smoke-free Kentucky bill for the

2015 session last week that mirrors

previously failed legislation in 2014.

Denouncing the argument that a

smoke-free bill prohibiting smoking

in public places would kill business,

Brent Cooper, a business owner

from northern Kentucky, said not

only are businesses prospering

across the Ohio River in Cincinnati

with a smoke-free law, but that the

pubs in Ireland haven’t shut down

since the country put a ban on

smoking in the workplace 10 years

ago.Many legislators conferred that

public smoking was indefensible in

Kentucky given the state’s bad

health ratings compared to other

states throughout the U.S.

According to testimony from

Wayne Meriwether, CEO of Twin

Lakes Regional Medical Center,

second-hand smoke is just as dan-

gerous for those that don’t smoke.

all Kentuckians smoke. We lead the
