Heck said superintendent Bob Farrell wants him to limit his spiel to 10 minutes. After spending nearly 90 minutes in an interview talking about the program, he said that could be a challenge. “Dr. Farrell did a study that showed in the first year (of the program) we could affect the lives of 10,000 people - stu- dents, parents, grandparents and business people,” Heck, who teaches at Mulberry Ele- mentary, said. “Everything is going to change in Milford when these things go up (in space).” Let’s back up. It’s easy to carried away with Heck’s exu- berant glee when discussing the program’s possibilities. “There’s nothing else like it in the nation,” Heck said. In reality, Milford’s pro- gram hasn’t started yet. The aim, at least during its first year, is to get fifth-grad- ers from across the district working in groups on experi- ments to send on suborbital flights with XCOR Aerospace. A 10-centimeter cube, or roughly the size of a small tis- sue box, is what students will have to work with. “The experiments can be whatever they want - anything they can imagine,” Heck said. “I don’t want to tell them what to do because I want this to be about discovery.” Experiments will spend about five to 10 minutes in space, with a total flight time of 30 minutes, he said. Depending on the kind of technology students want, they will ask the Milford Schools Foundation for money to create their experiments. “We’re going to hold kids to budgets,” Heck said. “We want them to realize there are con- straints in real life.” Heck said the program was developed using a business model, meaning it won’t cost the district anything. All the funding will come from local businesses and fundraising ef- forts led by the Milford Schools Foundation. About $40,000 has been raised so far. Heck began developing the program in January. He start- ed a one-inch binder with plans for it, and after speaking pub- licly a couple times the binder started to explode with corre- spondences from interested partners - from companies such as Duke Energy and Wal- mart to institutions such as Mi- ami University and UC Cler- mont. “This all started with Steve winning basically a teacher in space program (in 2009),” Far- rell said. “He still goes to these different things - and is sup- posed to go in space probably next year - but what he has done is establish contacts.” Through those contacts Heck developed a program he thinks will energize students. “This is all tied around STEM education,” said Jim Parker, chairman of the Mil- ford Schools Foundation.

What they won’t have is a so- lution for how to staff it. “2014 is going to be a chal- lenge,” said former Fire Chief Jim Whitworth. Whitworth resigned in Au- gust, shortly after trustees spent $275,000 of taxpayers’ money to buy 1.12 acres of land on Sugar Camp Road near state Route 131. Tax Increment Financing funds were used to buy the land and will also be used to con- struct the new station, said township Law Director Joe Braun. “What we have told residents is there are cost concerns here.

Runs made by the department have increased by 7 percent since 2009, and revenue from the last safety ser- vices levy has de- creased about 7 percent, he said. “There’s no reason to expect runs to go down, it’s going to keep going up,” Whit- worth said. “The whole concept is a func- tion of what level of service the community wants and what the community is will- ing to pay for.” The pot of levy money isn’t growing, said Trustee Mary Makley Wolff at a recent meet- ing. Inevitably, it seems like a tax- hike request will find its way on- to the ballot next year. “It will need to be or we will see a reduction of service,” Whitworth said.

MILFORD — Fifth-gradeteacher SteveHeckwill speakto businesses and possible in-vestors in early Septemberabout Milford’s SpaceflightExperimental Design Chal-lenge.

Heck said superintendentBob Farrell wants him to limithis spiel to 10 minutes. Afterspending nearly 90 minutes inan interview talking about theprogram, he said that could bea challenge.

“Dr. Farrell did a study thatshowed in the first year (of theprogram) we could affect thelives of 10,000 people - stu-dents, parents, grandparentsand business people,” Heck,who teaches at Mulberry Ele-mentary, said. “Everything isgoing to change in Milfordwhen these things go up (inspace).”

Let’s back up. It’s easy tocarried awaywithHeck’s exu-berant glee when discussingthe program’s possibilities.

“There’s nothing else like itin the nation,” Heck said.

In reality, Milford’s pro-gram hasn’t started yet.

The aim, at least during itsfirst year, is to get fifth-grad-ers from across the districtworking in groups on experi-ments to send on suborbitalflightswithXCORAerospace.

“The experiments can bewhatever theywant - anythingthey can imagine,” Heck said.“I don’t want to tell themwhatto do because I want this to beabout discovery.”

Experiments will spendabout five to 10 minutes in

space, with a total flight timeof 30minutes, he said.

Depending on the kind oftechnology students want,they will ask the MilfordSchools Foundation formoneyto create their experiments.

“We’re going to hold kids tobudgets,”Hecksaid. “Wewantthem to realize there are con-straints in real life.”

Heck said the programwasdeveloped using a businessmodel, meaning it won’t costthe district anything. All thefunding will come from localbusinessesandfundraisingef-forts led by the MilfordSchools Foundation.

behind.“Thebiggoal ishowdo

weget students ready forthe 21st-century work-place?Howdowegetstu-dents to want to take thetough classes?” Heckasked.

The first step is edu-cating the district’s fifth-grade teachers in STEM

education. This will bedone at iSpace in Cincin-nati, a not-for-profit or-ganization that supple-ments STEMeducation.

Teachers will receive12 hours of STEM train-ingFriday,Sept. 20.Fromthere, similar methodswill be introduced to stu-dentsandinJanuarytheywill begin developingwritten proposals for po-tential experiments.

If everything goes asplanned, their experi-

ments will be flown nextsummer and returned, sostudents can analyze andpublish conclusionsabout them.

“What we envision iskids asking questionsabout how this gets done.Then we’re going to putthemintouchwithpeoplewho know,” Heck said.“Eventually, the conver-sation around the dinnertable is no longer aboutthe game - it’s about howdo you do that?”

use.”Trustees interviewed

six candidates for more

than four hours recently.While itwas an “impor-

tant day,” Schultz said hedidn’t expect to come outof the interviews with asolidified plan for stationstaffing.

Instead, when trustees

select a new chief, offi-cials will work with themfor “several months” on amanpower plan, he said.

“I think the cost of do-ing thingswould comeoutof what our plan will be,”Schultz said.

“When we bought theproperty it did not meanwe had a complete gameplan for everything. Itwas just an opportunetime to buy the property.”

“The township hasgrown in areas that weneed to make sure arecared for,” said TrusteeKen Tracy.

“This iswhywewant toget with the (new) chief.We can’t just look at onearea of the township, weneed to look at the town-ship as a whole.”

BRIEFLY

AMELIA — Here’s whatEd Ritchy worries aboutnowadays:

» Older women withhealthproblemswhoneeda place to live until long-term care can be ar-ranged.

» Overcoming officialresistance to continuefeeding the hungry andhomeless in blightedneighborhoods.

» A growing group offormerly well-off peoplewho are finding them-selves homeless.

So when Ritchy, thevolunteer CEO of theHomeless Hotline ofGreater Cincinnati,marks the 25th anniversa-ry of the all-volunteer,tax-exemptpublic charityAug.1,don’taskhimaboutretirement.

He’s got toomuch to dowith the agency based inAmelia, which helps thehomeless with resourcesand referrals.

“The needs of the com-munity have expandedgreatly over the last fouryears andweseenoend insight,” Ritchy said.

“Weare servingpeoplewe never served before,such as people who havebeen living in $200,000and $300,000 homes.

“The most troublinggroup of people to servenow are the elderly wom-en who have lost theirhousing,” Ritchy said.

“Older women whomay now have severehealth problems are themost difficult to placedueto their health require-ments.

“We had consideredopening up a ‘safe place’facilitywheretheseelder-ly women could be given

temporary emergency as-sistance until they couldbe placed in a long-termenvironment that was ad-equate for their specificneeds,” Ritchy said.

“We firmly believehelping those who arehurting the most mustcome first.”

Ritchy said ClermontCounty desperately needsa safe place for theirhomeless elderly citizensto live until suitable safehousing is found.

“Placing elderly peo-ple takes time and pa-tience and it cannot berushed,” Ritchy said.

The Homeless Hotlineof Greater Cincinnati isan all-volunteer organiza-tion that has never had apaid staff member.

“We have never ac-cepted a penny from gov-ernmental agencies,”Ritchy said.

“Our volunteers con-tributed a great deal ofmoney to fund our organi-zation over the years andsome companies havehelped from time to timeduring financial emer-gencies.”

Gary Schork of Syca-more Township hasknown Ritchy for morethan 20 years.

“I don’t think you couldfindamorecaringorcom-passionate man,” Schorksaid.

“He’s extremely dedi-cated to the people hehelps.”

Ritchy said the Home-less Hotline of GreaterCincinnati would like todo more for people thanmeet emergency needs.

“Wearespendingmoretime now with people try-ing to educate them howto locate community re-sources themselves andhelping them to identify

why they have becomehomeless in the firstplaceso they do not keep recy-cling through homelesspatterns,” Ritchy said.

But as long as peoplehave emergency needs,Ritchy said, theHomelessHotline will not turn itshead.

Enter: A 1985 Sutphenfire truck in great condi-tion inside and out withonly 33,000 miles on it.

The Homeless Hotlineof Greater Cincinnati re-cently bought the truckfrom New Richmond toconvert it into a mobile,self-contained soup kitch-en.

“We have been feedingpeople who were hungryand homeless at variouslocations for manyyears,” Ritchy said.

“One great locationwas Washington Park (inOver-The-Rhine) acrossfromtheCincinnatiMusicHall, as they had a cupolawithwaterandelectricity.

“We would feed 500 to600 people, provide liveentertainment and offerhealth services to them,”Ritchy said.

“Cincinnati wanted todrive people who werehomeless out of Washing-

ton Park and told us wecould no longer use the fa-cilities to feed people.

“It is getting more andmore difficult to findplaces to feed our clients,so we decided to buy thefire engine and convert itso we could pull up on anycity street and feed peo-ple and the cities or thetownships cannot stopus,” Ritchy said.

If youcanhelpwith thefire truck or the safeplace, call the HomelessHotline at 797-4344.

Dupps, who is a tech-nology teacher at IndianHill High School, andBlankemeyer, who is aresident of Milford, metat a fitness club in BlueAsh nearly 30 years ago.At the timebothprimarilyplayed in singles competi-tion.

“We started playing

friendship soon devel-oped.

“I’d know where he’sgoing, and he’d know

where I’m going (on thecourt),” said Blanke-meyer, 66.

Since their collabora-

tion on the court, Duppsand Blankemeyer havehad 44 tournament cham-pionships and 73 finalistappearances.

“These guys (are) twoofthemostrespectedmenon the court and fiercecompetitors,” said DonParker, owner of theCourthouse Fitness Cen-ter, where both reserve ahandball court one tothree times a week.

Even after Blanke-meyer was diagnosed

with Alzheimer’s diseaseseven years ago, the teamhas continued to play.

“It’s just as fun,” saidDupps, 66. “The chemis-try is still there.”

Blankemeyer agreed.“We pull it together

even if we’re hurting,”saidBlankemeyer, addingthat age has only slowedthem down a bit.

Dupps said health is-sueshaveprevented themfromtravelingoutof townfor tournaments, but hesaid they still compete lo-cally.

Both were thrilled bythe recent recognition.“We felt it was long over-due,” said Dupps, whosaid they have no plans torelinquish the court anytime soon.

“We hope to play aslong as we can,” he said.

BATAVIA — ClermontCounty Commissioner EdHumphrey joined his fel-low southernOhio electedofficialsWednesdayseek-ing changes to the state

tax code.The Ohio House of

Representatives Tax Re-form Legislative StudyCommitteemetat theUni-versity of Cincinnati Eastcampus to as the secondstop of a five-hearingprocess.

Humphrey recom-mended the committeelook at, among otherthings, charging sales taxon internet purchases andgiving more power tocounty commissionersover local budgets.

“Local businesses arehurt by sales fromoutsidethe state,” Humphreysaid of what he called theInternet tax loophole.

“Make the playingfield even.”

County offices like theauditor, recorder andcourts are substantial ex-penditures of public mon-ey that have no oversightfrom the commissionersand that needs to change,he told the committee.

In addition to the over-sight, Humphrey wantedthe state to give countiesthe ability to chargemorepermissive sales and usetaxes and a local optionfor motor vehicle licens-ing.

The committee alsoheard testimony from avariety of county, city andtownship representativesas well asmembers of thestate’s Department ofTaxation and Office ofBudget andManagement.

Main points of conten-tion at the meeting werewhether cutting taxes forbusiness actually in-creases jobs in Ohio andhow local governments

can better provide ser-vices through cross-bor-der collaboration.

Gavin Leonard, statedirector for One OhioNow – an advocacy groupfor taxation – said taxcutsdon’t translate to an in-crease in business and jobgrowth in a state, con-trary to talking pointsfrom Gov. John Kasich’sadministration.

Tax exemptions, atsome levels do help Ohio-ans, he said, but many aregiveaways to special-in-terest groups.

Discussing concernsover businesses leavingbecause of taxes, Leonardsaid migration is simplynot a concern.

“The employment ratein the manufacturing in-dustry is down 17.7 per-cent,”Leonardsaid,citingBureau ofLabor statisticscomparing 2005 and 2013.

“It’s time to re-evalu-ate and do a more honestassessment of findingthat right balance be-tween what Ohioans wantand need in terms of bothservices and tax rates.”

State Tax Commission-er Joe Testa said he isproud of the accomplish-ments under Gov. JohnKasich. Ohio, Testa said,has balanced its budget,restoredarainy-day fund,eliminated the estate taxand replaced the corpo-rate-franchise tax – allgoals the governor hadwhen taking office.

Eight Cincinnati CountryDay students, along with twoadults, lost their locks for agood cause during the PanteneBeautiful Lengths hair-cuttingevent at the school. Their hairwas donated to make wigs forcancer patients who lose theirhair as a result of chemothera-py.

This year’s donors weresixth-graders Mary Harten ofMilford, Caitlin Ferguson ofLoveland,NellieShihofMasonand Nevie Smith of Milford;fifth-grader StephanieGentileof Indian Hill; third-graderPriyaThompsonandhermoth-er, Naveena Thompson of For-est Park; second- graders Ali-son Kohler of Maineville andAudrey Potter of SycamoreTownship; and StephanieWiet-marschen of Mason, vocal andinstrumental music teacherfor the Upper and Middleschools.

Phyllis Rinaldi fromPhyllisat the Madison in Hyde Park,and her stylist, Julie Mitter-meier, tied hair into ponytailsand then cut them off.

The eventwas organized bysixth-grader Molly Briggs ofMount Lookout. “My uncledied of cancer and Iwas reallysad, so I just wanted to make adifference and help peoplewho do have cancer, because Iremember he didn’t have anyhair,” Molly said.

Nevie Smith, who had herhair cut, said, “It felt good. Ifeel so free now.” She plans togrow her hair out so she candonate it again in a couple ofyears. “I think it’s for a greatcause, and I think it’s so nice ofMolly to start doing this forpeople that don’t have hair.”

Since the program began in2006, Pantene has receivedmore than 480,000 hair dona-tions and has given more than38,000 wigs to the AmericanCancer Society’s wig banks,which distribute wigs to can-cer patients across the coun-try.

About 6,000 ponytails aredonated each month. It takeshalf a million ponytails to

make 36,000wigs. On average,between 8 and14 ponytails areneeded per wig.

Cheri McMaster, communi-cations manager for Pantene,runs the Beautiful Lengthscharity with a team. “We real-ized there’s a whole bunch ofwomen that have chemothera-py and lose their hair. Wefound out that when you loseyour hair, you lose a lot of yourconfidence,” said McMaster, aCountry Day parent fromMil-ford.

“Wealso foundout thatwigsarevery,veryexpensive.Theycan cost two or three thousanddollars, and a lot of peopledon’t have any medical carethat will pay for that.”

MILFORD — The hardest thing to docan be the easiest to explain.

TakeMilfordHigh School junior golf-er Megan Creager. Her consistentlystrong play – for example, three roundsin the 70s and one of 80 over four18-holetournaments to begin the season – hasher team nesting in the top five of theCincinnati Enquirer coaches poll, newterritory for the Eagles.

How did it happen?“A lot of summer practice,” she said.

“A lot.”Creager enlisted the help of Cold-

stream Country Club assistant profes-sional Ken Kaiser for private lessons.She spent long hours on the range andcourse. She read books on themental as-pects of the game.

Milford head coach Sandy Garrisonisn’t surprised by her effort. Or her suc-cess.

“I don’t know if she’s so much turnedit around as much as she’s continued toimprove,” said. “She putts well. She canstick the long clubs. She’s doing all theright things.”

And she isn’t alone.The fourth of the 18-hole events was

the Eastern Cincinnati League Presea-sonShoot-OutatBel-WoodCountryClub.Milford not only won, but had the threebest scores in Creager, senior Aly Sev-ern and sophomore Abby Swensen.

The trio stands 1-2-3 in the ECC nine-hole scoring average, too.

GarrisoncreditedJVcoachNateGar-rett – an assistant pro at The Vineyard –and amiddle school programwith a doz-en golfers with bolstering the talent lev-el at the varsity. She credited the varsitygirls themselves forputting in theneces-sary work to be good.

“Theadultgolfcommunityofcoachesand pros has been so supportive,” shesaid. “In our group, it’s just great to seeso many people encouraging the girls toplay and play well.

“We started about eight years agowith one girl who played consistentlyand she might have a friend, so therewould be two working hard. It sort ofsnowballed with the bar getting raisedby one or two girls every year.

“We’d touch the bottom of the top 10every so often. Now, we have three girlsat the bottom whose scores we can useconsistently and that’s really taken a lot

OWENSVILLE — The strong, silenttype lives.

Clermont Northeastern High Schoolsenior linemanMatthewBingaman cando strong, bench pressing more than300pounds and squattingwell over 400.

Justdon’t askhimtobearah-rahguyin the locker room.

“He’s not a super-hugevocal guy, buthe tries to lead by example and does agood job of that,” said CNE head coachJasonConley. “Hecreateshavoc for theother team. He goes hard. He worksreally hard on the field.

“A lot of what he brings is his size.He came in as a strong kid andwhen hegot in the weight room this summer, hereally pushed a lot of the guys to in-crease what they were able to do.”

Bingaman said “hard” is the opera-tive word.

“I need to hit the holes andhit peoplehard,” he said. “I’m a left guard. I haveto make sure nobody hits the backs be-hind me. I’m just excited to hit kids;that’s what my mind is on right now.

“The day or two before the game,right before the game, I keep my mindon what I need to do right, on what Ineed to fix. I don’t really talk before agame. I just listen to my music and getfocused.”

Bingaman is on his second tour ofduty at CNE, having played middleschool football in the district beforemoving to Dal County, Alabama, withhis family for the first three years ofhigh school.

He’s seen some positive changes inthe program since his return to theRockets.

“There’s a whole lot more athleti-

cism,” he said. “There’s been a lot ofgrowth since I was here.”

His sophomore year in Alabama, theteam went 1-9, much like the Rocketsdid in 2012. His junior year, the teamwent to the playoffs.

“The way I see it, I don’t see whyanything should happen any different-ly here,” Bingaman said. “We’ve got abetter mindset. We plan to win.”

Speaking of tours of duty, Bingamanplans to start one with the U.S. MarineCorps upon graduation in the spring,following in the footsteps of his father,grandfather and several cousins. He’salready enlisted and has a ship date ofJuly 8, 2014, to begin basic training.

“It’s a family tradition,” he said. “I’mreally a patriot. Besides, I wouldn’t behappy doing anything that didn’t re-quire me to use my body. That’s whatI’ve always done. That’s where I’mcomfortable.”

Bingaman said themilitary and foot-ball share the common trait of disci-pline.

“You’ve just got to look at it as moremental toughness than anything,” hesaid. “You can fight through anything.”

Creager agreed.“It’s amazing,” she

said. “During tryouts, Ididn’t think this was go-ing tobeagooda teamaswe are, but we’ve reallyworked hard. I think ourentire team justwants tobe good.”

Megan began playinggolf with her father –DanCreager - as a younggirl, but didn’t begin tak-ing it seriously untileighth grade.

“Mydad always said Ihad a good swing, a natu-ral swing,” she said. “Ikind of figured out I had

a chance to be good. Iliked it and I liked beinggood at something, so Ijust stayed with it.

“We have goals fortheseason.Wewant togoundefeated (in dualmatches). We reallywant tomakeit to thedis-trict tournament as ateam. And I have a per-sonal goal to make it tothe state tournament asan individual. We havegoals for every match,like hitting fairways andgreens in regulation.We’re focused.”

Which is just whatGarrison likes.

“These young girlsare seeing Aly and see-ing Megan do this andthey’re being inspired,”Garrison said. “Theydon’t want to be left be-hind.”

Only a select few Divi-sion III football programshave reached a pointwhere a 7-3 record androut of their biggest rivalis considered a disap-pointing season.

Thomas More Collegefinished 6-2 in the Presi-dents’ Athletic Confer-ence, but those two earlyseason losses preventedthe Saints from earning afifth straight playoffberth. A six-game win-ning streak to close outthe season was encourag-ing, but 2012 was still adisappointment for a pro-gram that has establisheditself as a perennial top 25team.

“When I think about it,it is good that we havesuch high expectations,”said head coach Jim Hil-vert. “When you set astandard like that, whenyou expect at least ninewins and a PAC champi-onship, less than that isnot good enough.”

The silver lining to lastyear was that the seniorswere the first class inyears to end the seasonwith a win. Consistentlyqualifying for the play-offs means that, unlesstheSaintswin the32-teamtournament and StaggBowl championship, theyend the seasonwith a loss.Last year, theSaintsgot tofinish the season by set-ting all kinds of records in

a 75-6 Bridge Bowl vic-tory over rival College ofMount St. Joseph.

“Everybody was hun-gry to finish off the sea-son on a high note,” saidsophomore free safetyKyle Fuller (Holy Cross).

Fuller is one of severalyoung starters on bothsides of the ball this year.He has learned from theupperclassmen who wereonce in his position andexpects to step intoa lead-ership role in just his sec-ond season at ThomasMore.

“Thecoachesdo agoodjob of preparing you for aleadership role,” saidFuller, who led HolyCross to a state champi-onship two years ago.“Last year’s seniors left alegacy that made the pro-gram what it is and theyreally pushed us under-classmen to make us bet-ter.”

The veteran leaders ofthe defense will help thenew starters adjust. De-fensive backs Jake Fish-burn (Elder) and AlexTaylor (Elder) and line-

man Tyler Combs (High-lands) provide seniorleadership on the other-wise young defense.

“We are young on de-fense, but very fast,” saidHilvert. “This is one ofthe most athletic de-fenses I’ve had.”

The offense is led bythe return of junior run-ning back DominiqueHayden from injury andanother year of experi-ence for sophomore quar-terback Jensen Geb-hardt, who went 6-1 aftertaking over as the starterlast year.

Thomas More has al-ways benefited from apipeline of local talentfromboth sides of the riv-er, but the recent rise ofNorthern Kentucky pro-grams like Cooper andCampbell County has pro-vided theSaintswithevenmore talented playerswho are accustomed towinning.

“With the talent wehave around here, it’s ahuge addition,” said Hil-vert.

The Saints open theseason on Sept. 7 at Cap-ital University. The homeopener is Sept. 28 againstWaynesburg University.The team is eager to getback to the playoffs andhopes to avoid last year’sslow start.

“We have some reallygood leaders,” said Hil-vert. “We’reexcited togetback on the field and com-pete.”

You cannot pick up a news-paper, turn on TV or the radiowithout hearing about conser-vative this and liberal that. Theproblem is no one explains thedifference between the twogroups. Well “Old Greg” ishere to set the record straight.I have followed the politicalscene for decades and can saywith certainty that the maindifference between the two isthis, Liberals base their ideas,

policies, etc.on feelingswhere Conser-vatives basetheirs on facts.Now that Ihave the liber-als poundingthe table, letme offer ex-amples.

For over adecade, theliberals said

the reason we have federaldeficits and debt is the “BushTax Cuts for the Rich.” That iswhat they feel is the reason.The fact is anyone that actu-ally paid federal taxes sawthem go down, not just the richAlso, if you research informa-tion from the CongressionalBudget Office revenues paidinto the treasury actually wentup after this tax plan went intoeffect. Facts vs feelings.

Liberals also feel dramat-ically raising taxes on the richwill fix deficits. My question:owmany have ever received apaycheck from a poor person?The fact is the rich create mostof the private sector jobs inthis country. Taxing themwillonly reduce the jobs createdand hurt the economy.

Liberals also say, includingthe current President, we donot have a spending problem,we have a revenue problem.There again they feel this isthe case. The facts are theFederal government spendsabout 38 percent more thenthey take in. That means that38 cents of every dollar spentis borrowed, and we don’t havea spending problem?

Now the liberals are sayingif we just trample on the Sec-ond Amendment and pass abunch of new gun laws masskillings will stop.

The fact is that Sept. 11,2001, over 3,000 people died inattacks. Howmany shots werefired? The fact is none. OnApril 19, 1995, 168 men, womenand children were killed inOklahoma City and again notone shot was fired. On April,15, 2013, in Boston three peoplewere killed and over 250 in-jured. Once again, not a shotfired. The fact is that if some-one is either very sick or justhell bent on killing, there is nolaw that can stop them. that isjust the facts.

I believe most Americanswant everyone to succeed. Theproblem is that when we try togovern with only our feelings,everyone suffers. If we baseour policies on what focusgroups or the main streammedia says rather then usingactual data, you end up withbad legislation and policy. Weas a country cannot continue toreward takers and punish mak-ers.

This is especially impor-tant in today’s economy. Wehave experienced financialreductions from a number ofour funding sources. Thelargest reduction is in theClermont County senior ser-vices levy due to the declinein property values.

Over the years, our fallevent has followed the sameformat. Although, alwayssuccessful, we have decidedto give it a different twist thisyear.

“Under the Tuscan Moon”is the theme of this year’sannual Touching Hearts Galaand Auction hosted by Cler-mont Senior Services.

The eventtakes place onFriday, Sept.6, at The Oa-sis Confer-ence Centerin Lovelandfrom 6-11 p.m.Tickets are$60 per per-son and re-served tables

of 10 are $550.During the silent auction,

and keeping with the theme,guests will enjoy a leisurelystroll through a Tuscan ArtGallery to observe and bid onframed artwork. Elegant giftbaskets are up for bid too.

Baskets themes includewine, entertainment, travel,tailgating, pets, gardening,home and Christmas décor, aswell as other enticing themes.Enjoy Tuscan hors d’oeuvresand a glass of wine whilestrolling.

During the elegant dinnerguests will relax to the ro-

mantic sounds of a strollingviolinist.

After dinner, the roomcomes to life. The live auctionfeatures a number of itemsup for bid.

Helping with the auctionand encouraging guests to bidis Jennifer Dalton from Local12 WKRC-TV. She was a realcrowd-pleaser at last year’sauction with her charmingpersonality and bubbly enthu-siasm.

Frankie Hughart, managerof development and strategicrelations, says, “Althoughwe’ve previously focused oncollectibles and antiques inour fall auction event we havenow shifted to primarily newitems. We are excited aboutthe new approach to thisevent. By having many itemsthat are brand new we willlikely have something thatwill fit perfectly in every-one’s home.”

Also new this year is thebig cash raffle. Rather than

offer a few smaller prizes,cash will be awarded to thelucky winners. The first prizeis expected to be close to$5,000! Odds will stay at 1 in100.

If you can’t come thatnight you can purchase raffletickets ahead of time andonline; and you do not need tobe present to win. Don’t missthe opportunity to participatein this great raffle.

As always, proceeds fromthis event help fund the pro-grams of Clermont SeniorServices, including meals-on-wheels, transportation, homecare, adult day services, andmore.

If you would like to make areservation or purchase raf-fle tickets, please call 724-1255 or visit the CSS websiteat www.clermontseniors.com.Credit cards are accepted.

Cindy GramkeCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Last week’s questionShould fans at sporting

events have to conform to a“code of conduct”? What typesof behavior should be regulat-ed?

“Yes, sports fans’ behaviorshould be regulated at events.With families around and smallkids present, profanity anddrunken or sober obnoxious-ness should not be tolerated.Those aren’t really the prob-lem; the ‘jerk line’ takes care ofthat because ushers and offi-cers will come and eject seri-ous troublemakers.

“The problem is when op-posing fans come to an awaygame and scream, drink, andbullyrag home-team fans. Add-ingalcohol canmake thingsgetugly quickly. Maybe we canpass a new city ordinance tomake themstay inPittsburgh!”

TRog

“Whatever rules the venueestablishes should be pub-lished, posted, and even print-ed on the tickets. Thisway fansknow what’s expected. Thenit’s up to the fans to decide iftheywant to attend or not. If at-tendance suffers, I’m sure therules would be adjusted.”

P.C.

“If the players on the fieldsabide to the code of conduct, soshould the fans, on all levels.Fans, especially sideline par-ents, forget this is the sportsplayers game, not theirs.”

O.R.

“Dowe really need a code ofconduct to act with considera-tion, dignity and respectaround our fellow human be-ings and their children? Stayreasonably sober, refrain fromfoul language, don’t spill foodor drink on other people or into

their space. In other words, beconsiderate of others aroundyou who paid for seats and arealso entitled to watch the gamejust like you are.”

F.S.D.

“Yes, fansshouldconformtoa code of conduct be it a youth,high school, college or progame. Ideally it should be self-imposedwhere people conductthemselves in a respectfulmanner to those around them,players on the field and coach-es and officials. Don’t make ascene,don’t embarrassorbelit-tle anyone. Treat others as youwould prefer to be treated.

“That being said, I don’trealistically thing a code ofconduct works for all people.Therearealwaysa few that arean embarrassment to the hu-man race. If at all possible theyshould be asked to leave if self-control is beyond their com-mand.

“Hate to say it but somepeo-ple feel theneed(maybe itsem-powerment for those who feeltaken advantage in life) tomake a jerk out of themselves.Give them their money back ...suggest that they stay away.”

T.B.

“Fans at any type of eventare sharing the stadium or are-nawith thousands of other peo-ple. These people often range

fromchildren to grandparents.It is everyperson’s responsibil-ity to behave in away that doesnot disrupt or offend. Every-one should be able to enjoy thegame and express their enthu-siasm without spoiling it forthose around them. Do untoothers ...”

R.V.

“Some behavior is not ac-ceptable. Most is during a‘sporting’ event. After all theplayers all have shown non-ac-ceptable behavior!

“Do not interfere with oth-ers space. No physical contact.But yelling for or against ateam is OK. Control your lan-guage to what youwould say toyour grandmother! (I knowthere are some grandmothersit would not bother).”

W.B.B.

“The fans at sporting eventsshould be grown up enough tobe able regulate their own be-havior and not infringe uponothers.

“That means NO swearing,spitting (tobacco juice includ-ed), hitting, blocking the view,spillingofbeverages onothers,lewd T-shirts, drunken con-duct, throwing up or belching.But isn’t thatwhat yourmothertaught you anyway?

“Use the manners that yourmother would approve of andall would be fine. Unless yourmother swore, hit, spit, gotdrunk ... oh well.”

J.B.“Have you ever been to an

athletic event with a youngchild andhad some idiot swear-ing and shouting at everyyoung girl that moves. Ihaven’t,mykidsaregrown,butI have seen other families inthis situation.

“I’m glad that the Brownshave installed their behavior

clause andhave seenpeople es-corted from the stadium, glad.When your paying big bucks,you don’t need foul mouth idi-ots spilling beer or making ad-vancesonanything thatmoves.

“I’m not saying they can’thave a good time and be ener-getic about the game, but beconsiderate of others aroundthem. If they can’t, they de-serve to sit in thepenaltybox insecurity or Hamilton Co. jail.

“Respect the Stripes, Bigred C., and our city and makeeveryone feel much better.”

D.J.

“Merely common courtesyand commen sense, both ofwhich are in precious shortsupply these days ... especiallyfor “sports” fanatics!

J.G.

“Yes! Fans should have toconform to a code of conduct.Cincinnati fansshould trymak-ingMOREnoisewhen the Ben-gals and Reds need it.

“This is the quietest sportstown I know. Cincinnati needssome kind of noise makingPEDs! Cliff Radel of the En-quirer blamed our “GermanHeritage.” Come on. Pitts-burgh fans are louder than uswhen we play them.

“The Reds playoffs werelikeWimbledon lastyearuntil 2outs in the ninth inning of thelast game. Shhhhh!

“We don’t need to screamand yell the whole time ofcourse, but tame and lameseem to be theM.O. formost ofthis city. Be a part of the game,getyour teampumpedup,don’twait for the home run.

“As for ‘whinybirds’ at leastChuck D has Spirit and a senseof humor. The code of conductis common sense, use it and wewon’t need fan “rules.”

Whenmy kids wereyoung our lives werebusy, but nowhere nearhow busy their lives arenow that they’re grown

with fam-ilies oftheir own.The re-quests I’vegotten thisweek tellme a lot ofyou are inthe samesituation.Readerswant easy

main dishes (pasta beingthe most popular) andhealthy snacks. So hereare two of my favorites.

Sausage lasagnausing uncookednoodles

For Darren, a WesternHills reader who saw asausage lasagna recipe ina magazine at the doc-tor’s office. He said: “Itcalled for uncooked noo-dles. I didn’t want to tearthe recipe out, but itlooked so good.” Here’sone frommy files. Thereare special “no-cook”lasagna noodles you canbuy. Leftovers can befrozen and microwavedto reheat.

1pound favorite sausage26-32 oz. favorite pastasauce

3⁄4 cup water2 eggs, beaten lightly11⁄2 pounds (24 oz.) cottagecheese

1⁄2 cup Parmesan1⁄2 teaspoon each: garlicpowder, dried basil andoregano

9 uncooked lasagna noodles3 cups mozzarella

Preheat oven to 375degrees. Cook sausage.Drain. Stir in sauce andwater. Simmer 10 min-utes. Combine eggs, cot-tage cheese, Parmesanand seasonings. Spread 1⁄2cup meat sauce intosprayed 13-inch by 9-inchpan. Layer with threenoodles, a third of cheesemixture, meat sauce andmozzarella. Repeat twice.Cover and bake 45 min-utes. Uncover, bake 10minutes longer or untilnoodles are tender. Letstand 15 minutes beforeserving.

Tip: Use a combo ofbeef and sausage, all beefor turkey sausage.

No-bakegrain/gluten-freepower bars

Daughter-in-law Jessfound this on the Joyful

Abode site. This is a pro-tein-packed bar for kidsand adults alike. Greatfor packing into kids’lunch boxes, too and Ilike the fact that they’regrain/gluten free. I cannever eat just one. I re-named the recipe to fitmy slight adaptation.Check out Joyful site forstep-by-step photos andmy blog for more powerbar recipes.

21⁄2 cups favorite nuts andseeds (I usedmixed nuts,flax and hemp seeds)

1 cup dried fruit (I useddried Michigan cherries,chopped)

2 cups shredded coconut1⁄4 cup coconut oil1⁄2 cup honey (I used rawhoney)

1 tablespoon vanilla1⁄4 teaspoon saltCinnamon to taste

Roughly chop 1 cup ofnuts and seeds. Place inbowl. Process remainingnuts and seeds in proces-sor, or by hand, to make afiner chop. Add to bowl.Add fruit and coconut.Pour oil, honey, vanilla,salt and cinnamon in panand, over low heat, cookuntil it boils gently, thenpour over fruit mixtureand blend. Pour intosprayed 13-inch by 9-inchpan that has been linedwith sprayed foil orparchment. Press mix-ture evenly into pan.Press real hard so mix-ture sticks together. Putplastic wrap on top tomake pressing downeasier. Cool completelyand cut into bars. Can befrozen up to threemonths.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Don’t have coconut oil,which is a healthy oil? Ibelieve a vegetable orolive oil will work, it justwon’t have that extraelement of flavor.

Tips from readers’kitchens

From reader Mary-Ann G. regarding theroasted tomatoes recipes:“I roasted several peryour directions and raid-ed my herb garden forbasil, rosemary and oreg-ano. After roasting I letthem cool and removedthe skin. After chopping

them slightly, I tossedthem (along with thedelicious tomato broth)with some spinach tortel-lini and bacon. It made anamazing meal.”

Starts in the Kitchen’on?”Watch it on TimeWarner Channel 8 or 15.

Diluting concentrat-ed fruit juices for kids:Younger kids, especiallythose in sports, may ben-efit from diluted fruitjuice (make sure it’s got100 percent vitamin C).It’s easier to digest, will

hydrate and provideenergy. Use at least twiceas much water as is rec-ommended on label.

A home should becomforting, relaxing andanything but hazardous.It is especially importantto seek out these dangersin homes of those at-riskfor falling.

Falling can have seri-ous consequences. TheCenters for Disease Con-trol and Prevention(CDC) state that one inthree older adults whofall suffer moderate tosevere injuries whichmake it difficult forthem to get around andlive independently.

Falling can create afear or concern with fall-ing that causes people toavoid their favorite ac-tivities or abstain fromphysical activity. Notparticipating in your dai-ly activities and reduc-ing your physical activ-

ity levels will lower yourmobility and physicalhealth which can actual-ly increase your risk offalling. Here are sometips for making yourhome safer:

Stairs. Staircases in-side and outside may besteep or slippery. Trac-tion tape can be used tostick to the steps and in-crease traction to pre-vent slipping. It is alsoimportant to make surethere are railings on bothsides for extra support.

Lighting. Create suffi-cient lighting by addingmore lamps that are easyto reach or can be turnedon with a wall switch. In-vest in night lights with asensor that turn on whenit gets dark. Put these inthe areas of the homethat are frequently trav-eled at night like hall-ways, bedrooms and thebathroom. You can alsobuy sensor wall switchesthat light-up when it getsdark so they are easy tolocate at night.

Bathroom. Unplugand put away electricalappliances that aren’t be-ing used. Make sure thatmats and rugs have agripped underside sothey do not slide easily. Itis highly recommendedto install grab bars in andoutside of the bathtuband next to the toilet forextra support. The Sen-ior Safety Program andClermont Senior Ser-vices have a programthat provides and in-

stalls grab bars for freein the homes of olderadults in Clermont Coun-ty. Call 724-1255 or 735-8408 for more informa-tion.

Wires and cords. Ex-posed cords and wiresare a common trippinghazard. Make sure tele-phone cords are tuckedaway or consider switch-ing to a wireless phone.Hide lamp, televisionand computer cords be-hind furniture or tapethem down completelywith duct tape to avoidgetting caught in them.

Kitchen. Use grippedmats and rugs to avoidslipping. Clean up spillsas soon as you noticethem. Ask someone tohelp you move common-ly used items to lowershelves for easy access.If you use a step stool,one with a traction gripson the feet, steps andhandlewill help keep youstable and avoid sliding.

Help remain indepen-dent by keeping your or aloved one’s home safeand fall preventable. Formore tips to help makeyour home safer and pre-vent against falls, visitthe Clermont CountyGeneral Health Dis-trict’s Senior Safetywebpage at clermon-thealth district.org.

The training programof the Miami TownshipFire Department was en-hanced when the GreaterCincinnati AutomobileDealers Association, inpartnership with the Na-tional Automobile Deal-ers Charitable Founda-tion, presented a ResusciAnne Torso unit to emer-gency personnel recently.This donation was spon-sored by Mike CastrucciFord in Milford.

“If the right kind oftreatment can be given toa victim within secondsafter he or she is stricken,the chances are good thatthe lifecanbesaved,”saidJim Petry, firefighter/paramedic, EMS instruc-tor for Miami Township.“CPR training teaches a

person how to keep theheart beating while wait-ing for professional helpto arrive.”

There has been an in-crease in the number ofsurvivors from ventricu-

lar fibrillation as result ofincreased CPR trainingacross the country. Thetraining typically takesthree to five hours of in-tensive practice and lec-tures.

The donated manikinwill allow the departmentto continue providing thistraining in the communi-ty.

“We are very pleasedto be able to assist our lo-

cal firedepartmentobtainthis life-saving equip-ment. It’s a natural exten-sion of our overall com-munity involvement,”said Castrucci.

Since the NADA Foun-dation’s Medical Grantsprogram began in 1975.More than 2 million peo-ple have been trained onCPR units donated bynew-car dealers.
