LOVELAND — A company thatbowed out of the Loveland Stationdowntown redevelopment project isrethinking its decision.

North American Properties ofdowntown Cincinnati decided inMay not to pursue its interest inLoveland Station any longer be-cause the project did not meet thecompany’s desired return on invest-ment, Loveland City Manager TomCarroll said in a report to LovelandCity Council for its Aug. 28meeting.

“NorthAmericanProperties sub-sequently allowed the options forthe three properties near the cornerof East Loveland Avenue and ThirdStreet to expire,” Carroll said.

“Shortly afterward, (Indian Hilldeveloper) Rick Greiwe and citystaff sought interest from other de-velopers in the Cincinnati area, Co-lumbus and Indianapolis.

“After conducting discussionswith numerous development firms,Rookwood Builders (of Mariemont)was the companywhich expressed aserious level of interest and offeredto sign a letter of intent for the pur-pose of conducting due diligencewith respect to the project,” Carrollsaid.

“In the meantime, North Ameri-can Properties has expressed somerenewed interest in the project re-sulting from some changes thatweremade to thedevelopmentcrite-ria and the progress staff is makingon negotiating the purchase of theadjacent railroad property for park-ing.

“Staff is encouraged by the inter-est shown by these two developersand expects to recommend one ofthem to council and the (LovelandCommunity Improvement Corpora-tion, the city’s economic-develop-ment arm) in the near term,”Carrollsaid.

Carroll said it would be spring2013 at the earliest before eitherNorthAmericanPropertiesorRook-woodBuilderscouldbeginconstruc-tion at Loveland Station, a retail-of-fice-residential project planned forSouth Second Street andWest Love-land Avenue.

Loveland native Sarah Mc-Cormick spent three years inThailand helping in the fightagainst human trafficking.

At the beginning, her momdidn’t want her to go. She want-ed to stay closer to home. Mc-Cormick went anyway. Shewent into the trenches to learnabout the war against the ex-ploitation of human beings forprofit. Now she has a story totell.

“I don’t think I really appre-ciated it until we travelled toThailand to see her,” said hermom, Reta McCormick. “Whilewe were there we were intro-duced to the people, co-work-ers, and other volunteers. Wesaw the kids. I think at that mo-ment the reality set in what agood and necessary job thosepeople do.”

On Sunday, Aug. 19, a groupof about 50 people gathered atthe Grailville Caravansary to

hear about human traffickingfirst-hand from Sarah McCor-mick.

“I think it’s inspiring,”NickyWestrick said of McCormick’sexperience. “But it alsosaddensme. It reminds me of what Ineed to do to grow my social

conscience. I am activelysearching.”

During an hour-long presen-tation, McCormick told aboutworking cases of human traf-ficking right here in Cincinnati.She explained the key is exploi-tation; not just sexual exploita-

tion, but forced labor exploita-tion. Victims are not just youngEastern European or Asianwomen. In realityeverygender,race, age nationality and reli-gion are exposed.

McCormick’s Grailville au-dience was made up of mostlywomen. They had questions,lots of questions. Their firstquestion was: where does thishappen?

“It happens everywherearound the world,” McCormickanswered. “The United Statesand Western Europe are thelargest destination countries.The main origin countries areMexico, Philippines, Guatema-la, India and Thailand.”

People wanted to know who.Someseemedsurprised to learnit is not usually people kid-napped and sold into the seedyunderworld of sexual exploita-tion. In fact, it is the vulnerableseeking a better way of life.

glad to hear the traffickingis in Thailand,” said BrigidHill, who was among theGrailville members in at-tendance. “You know thathappens in horrible, terri-ble third-world places. Buther first four years ofworkwas right here in Cincin-nati.”

The trafficked get usedup and then become thetraffickers. The basic need

for income remains a need.McCormicksaid there is an“unbalanced view” of sextrafficking versus labortrafficking.

“It makes you think toyourself,” Hill said. “Whatservice person – cleaning abathroom I’ve used, orserving at a restaurant – isin a dangerous and un-healthy situation? Theywere coerced into that situ-ation. That’s what I think iswrong.”

They asked about laws.The current law in Ohio re-garding human trafficking

was just passed in June.McCormick says it is beinghailed as a good law andearned high rank in the

fight for human rights. Ex-isting laws are rarely en-forced and there were only4,239 convictions world-wide in 2011. She says 62countries have never con-victed a trafficker.

“I think the session was

amazing,” McCormicksaid. “I think this room ofpeople is all very engagedwith social justice issues.They really cut to amazingsharp questions. They cutto the core of the issuesaround human trafficking

and new ways to approachit.”

When told human traf-ficking is a $32 billion peryear industry, onememberof the audience asked:“Wheredoes themoneygo?Follow themoney.” It was aquestion and an approachMcCormick is not awarehas ever been considered.She was impressed by theinterest shown by thegroup.

“It was really an en-gaged group of people thatare clearly thinking aboutthese issues in usefulways,” she said.

McCormick wanted toeducate the group withfacts and raise awarenessby sharing her own experi-ences. She believes a lot ofinformation about humantrafficking is sensational-ized. Her aim was to teachthe group about more ef-fective solutions for the fu-ture. The group was im-pressed with McCormick’sstory. Many stayed after totalk directlywith her abouthow they want to help.

“I didn’t think therewould be so many peoplehere; suchavarietyof folkswho are already so in-volved in social justice is-sues,” McCormick said.“Afterward some of thefolks who came and talkedtomehave already been in-volved with this issue.They’re making thingshappen.”

LOVELAND — The Ham-iltonCountyHealthDepart-ment has given Lovelanduntil Sept. 30 to show it hasmade progress on correct-ing violations the depart-ment foundwhen it inspect-ed the former Predestinari-an Baptist Church July 30.

That’s a 30-day breakfrom the originally sched-uled reinspection of the va-cant and condemnedchurch on Chestnut Street,but an order to fix all viola-tions by Nov. 2 still stands,saidGaryVidmar, assistantLoveland city manager.

“Razing thestructure,ora portion of the structure,may be an option if the vio-lations cannot be complete-ly abated and the health de-partment chooses to takefurther legal action,” Vid-mar said.

Members of a group try-ing to saveandrenovate theformer PredestinarianBaptist Church – a hub ofLoveland’s early African-American community –were tomake their caseandtry toraise fundsduring theLoveland Art Show Sept. 9.

“A lot of people don’tknow that Loveland had avery vital African-Ameri-can community, not thatlong ago,” said formerLoveland Councilman JoeSchickel, a member of thepreservation group.

“Author LarryHamilton(a Loveland native), PaulaMitchellOguah (aLovelandresident) and a few others,myself included, haveformedacommitteeandbe-gun fundraising to save theold Loveland Predestinari-anBaptistChurchonChest-nut Street, which was ama-

jor center of black commu-nity life through the mid’60s.”

Schickel said before theart show that members ofthe committee would be infront of theWilliamSchick-el Gallery at 200 W. Love-land Ave. during the Love-landArtShowto talk topeo-pleaboutjoiningthepreser-vation effort. Schickel isgallery director.

Also, Hamilton was tosign copies of his books,“Lucy’s Story” and “Be-tween Two Suns: The Be-rean Experience,” in frontof theWilliamSchickelGal-lery during the art show,with proceeds going to ef-forts to save the formerPredestinarian Baptist

Church.Loveland bought the

church at 225 Chestnut St.,believed built in the late1800s, for possible access toland off Chestnut Streetthat the city wants to rede-velop commercially.

The city paid nearly$17,000 in delinquent taxesand assessments to pur-chase the property inMarch.

Sidewalks and a use forone of the community’s his-toric are the focus of pend-ing improvements inSymmes Township.

Administrator Brian El-liff said hehadbegunwork-ing on a plan for new side-walks to connect neighbor-hoods and parks. He addedthat the initial plan wouldbe included in the upcom-ing fall/winter townshipnewsletter.

An upset Trustee KenBryant opposed its inclu-

sion in the newsletter, say-ing that it hasn’t been re-viewed or discussed by theBoard of Trustees. He add-ed that safety and connec-tivity are priorities.

Board President JodieLeis said safety is always apriority and that includingthe public from the begin-ning shouldbenecessary sothey can have a say in thetrustees’ decisions.

Elliff agreed, addingthatresidentscouldcomeinwith ideas the administra-tion and board hadn’t con-sidered, instead of theboard getting “steamroll-

ered” with every residentwanting sidewalks for theirarea.

“All of this is advisory,”Elliff said. “But it stifles theprocess to come in and es-tablish the rules first.”

Bryant added that aspart of this plan, sidewalkswill not be put into individ-ual neighborhoods, butrather connect them. Elliffsaid the newsletter will in-clude mention of the side-walk plan, and residentswill have opportunities dur-ing the next six months tocontribute their opinions.

Julie Singer of the Cin-cinnati Horticultural Soci-ety told theboard that town-

ship gardens are “flourish-ing,”withmany of the flow-

ers donated.She added that improve-

ments, such as a refur-bished arbor, new patio anda walkway under the arbor,were added to the garden atthe Meade House, 11887Lebanon Road. The societyalso painted and hung lat-tices around the smallbuilding near the MeadeHouse.

Singer said the society isplanningafewactivitiesforSymmes Fall Fest Oct. 5,such as pumpkin paintingand other fall-like enter-tainment.

LOVELAND — Frenchstudents at Loveland Mid-dle School will once againthis school year learnsome life lessons aswell ashow to conjugate verbs inanother language.

Teacher Hillary Pecsoksaid her students will sup-port asmanyas18childrenliving in slavery in Haiti –where French and Creoleare spoken – by:

» collecting from nowthrough the beginning ofNovember backpacks,shoes, socks and personal

items such as tooth-brushes, toothpaste andcombs for theHaitian chil-dren, and

» performing commu-nity-service work the re-mainder of the 2012-2013school year to earn moneyto pay the Haitian stu-dents’ school fees for uni-forms and one hot meal aday.

“For some, it is theironly meal in a 24-hour pe-riod,” Pecsok said.

“To support oneHaitianchild, living in restavek(Creole for child slavery),for oneyear, it is only $350.

“It is ourgoal to support

this entire group of stu-dents, so we will need toraise between $5,000 and$6,000,” Pecsok said.

The Loveland studentswill be helping Haitianchildren under the watchand care of Jean-RobertCadet, a Madeira residentand former child slave inHaiti who founded theJean R. Cadet RestavekOrganization, whichworks to end the restaveksystem in Haiti and makeeducation mandatory forchildren there.

“Some of these stu-dents (who do not own

shoes) walked for miles inbare feet because theyheard of this opportunityof hope to be registeredfor school by Jean-Rob-ert,” Pecsok said.

PRESS PREPSHIGHLIGHTS

By Scott Springersspringer@communitypress.com

LOVELAND — After fivestraight league golf champion-ships, Loveland stumbled at aninopportune time last year andmissedout ona finalFortAncientValley Conference crown.

The Tigers went unblemishedduring the regular season, butdropped to third in the FAVCtournament to finish as the run-ner-up overall. The good news inLoveland is the team is off to an-other good start and coach AndyFredette’s lineup remains thesame.

“We’ve won three tourna-ments,” Fredette said. “I have theentire team back this year. No-body graduated last year.”

The luxury that Loveland hasover others is exclusivity. Bel-wood, Oasis and O’Bannon Creekare popular club destinations formany of Fredette’s flock.

“This is a group of avid golf-ers,” Fredette said. “Several of

them, golf is their only sport.”Isaac Vock, Austin Osborne,

and Perry Strong are golf-onlyathletes. Vock and Osborne areonly sophomores and Vock atpress timewas leading theTigerswith a 38.50 scoring average.

Just behind Vock is juniorReid Waddell, a multi-sport ath-lete at Loveland.

“He’s kind of the unspokenleader of the team right now,”Fredette said. “He’ll be a three-year varsity player.He advancedto thedistrict asan individual lastyear.”

Waddell is just behind Vock inaverageat 39. Just behind thatTi-ger duo is junior Brian Bullock,senior Zach Flege, sophomoreOsborne and senior Allen Os-good, giving Loveland six golfersin the Eastern Cincinnati Confer-ence top 10.

With junior Perry Strong andsophomore Tyler Davis, the Ti-gers tout eight golfers in theleague top 20.

As a team, the fairway is wide

open for Loveland to secure thefirst ECC title

“We won our season previewtournament by18 shots andwe’reundefeated in the league,” Fre-dette said. “Ifwe can finish unde-feated in our dualmatches, we’regoing to be tough to catch.”

Beyond that, the Tigers wouldlike to extend the season into Oc-tober. Loveland has had individ-ual statequalifiers in thepast,but

Fredettedoesn’tbelieveanentireteam has made it yet.

This group could be the firstand six of the eight will be backfor 2013.

“I would like to think our teamhasaverygoodchanceatadvanc-ing to the districts at least,” Fre-dette said.

Loveland’s nextmatch is Sept.17 at Cincinnati Country Clubagainst Seven Hills.

Junior varsityMason 2, Loveland 0 –

The firstMason goal came with sev-enminutes to go in the firsthalf off when a Mason for-ward landed a quick shotfrom the back of the 18yard box. The strike wentjust above the out-stretched hands of goal-

keeper Matthew Noland.Goal No. 2 came early inthe second half. The upper90strikewasanotherbombthis time from outside the20yard line. The two teamsbattled the remainder ofthe game. CoachTinoMamrecognized theplay ofmid-fielders AdamPaulson andJared Witt.

The onlygoal in the game camewith31minutes to go in the firsthalf from a Lakota Westcorner kick that found aweak-side striker whokicked the ball into thegoal. Mam praised theteam’s effort in the secondhalf and called out the ex-ceptional play of defenderNathanReigleand forwardDillon Frees.

Loveland 1, LakotaEast 0 - The short trip forthe Loveland High SchoolJV Tigers to Liberty Town-

ship to face theLakotaEastThunderhawks resulted intheir third win of the sea-son Sept. 4.

The team’s recordnowstands at an even 3-3 as theteam prepares to get intothe teeth of the conferenceschedule.

READING — With lastspring’s state title bannerhanging, Mount NotreDame’s volleyball squad isoff to another good startwith an early unblemishedrecord.

While it’s doubtful theCougars will run the table,coach Joe Burke is enjoy-ing the initial Septembersuccess.

“We’re playing well, “Burke said. “We return twostarters from last year andwe obviously had to fit in abunchofotherplayers.Thegirls have stepped up andplayed those spots well.”

MND’s biggest return-ing weapon is “kill queen”andoutsidehitter,MichelleStrizak. Already commit-ted to Illinois, she’s aknown commodity.

“She’s not a secret,”Burke said. “There’s been

one or twomatcheswhere she’scarried usout offen-sively. She’splayinggreat. She’sstill playingall the way

around and she’s a big-timethreat from the front andback row.”

TheCougars also returnright side hitter ChristineChandler, who saw consid-erable timeas a sophomoreon the state championshipteam. Strizak and a healthyChandler are a potent one-two punch.

“She (Chandler) had alimitedoffseasondue tobe-ing injured late last year,”Burke said. “She cameback in the middle of theoffseason and started pro-gressing really nicely.We’re just continuing towork on her defense. She’s

verypower-ful and hasa goodswing.”

Amongthe lossesfrom lastyear’ssquad areKelseyWolf

to Kentucky, Aubree HordtoDePaul andMaryCremato theUniversity of Cincin-nati. All three are trying toestablish themselves attheir Division I programs.

In theirplace,Burkehashad to work in girls whowere previously role play-ers. Stepping in as middleblockers have been seniorsSarah Hill and McKenzieJones.

“They got a lot of goodexperience last year,”Burke said.

Another key returner isa girl who didn’t even playlast season. Starting setterTeressaVigilwas out of the

country as a foreign ex-change student. She nowleads the Girls GreaterCincinnati League in as-sists.

“She’s stepped in anddone a real nice job in get-ting the ball to all of thegirls,” Burke said.

Replacing the departedKelsey Wolf at libero isBrittany Inks, while Wolf’ssister, Margo, is battlingfor time as a defensive spe-cialist.

In the spikes and killsdepartment, freshmanSydney Mukes has madeher presence known.

“She’s an outside hitterand a very dynamic play-er,”Burke said. “She’s got alot ofpowerand is anexcel-lent player. We’re lookingfor good things from Syd-ney.”

Finally, another Cougarwill head to a Division Iprogram as defensive spe-cialist Miranda Puthoffwill return to the scene ofMND’s state title and playfor Wright State next sea-son.

“She’s played very goodmiddle back defense forus,” Burke said.

As always, MND’s slate

of games is second to none.Between their non-confer-ence and league tilts,Burke keeps the Cougarson their toes.

“In our schedule, I feelevery year we get every-body’s best,” Burke said.“People always play verywell against us. We try tokeep our girls ready to gofor when that happens.”

Ahead for MND is aSept. 13 home match withSt. Ursula, then roadmatches out of townagainst Walsh Jesuit andMagnificat.

Sept. 5 questionOhio’s ban on textingwhile

driving isnowineffect.Doyouthink the law is a good ideaand will it make roads safer?Why or why not?

“I can’t think of any legisla-tion that was more of a ‘goodidea’ thanOhio’sbanon textingwhile driving. Rational peoplewould hope that anyone whogets into a motor vehicle anddriveswillbeawareofandsen-sitive to the risks he may en-counter on the road, even if heis alert and focusing on driv-ing.

“But when someone is text-ing their focus is elsewhere,and that’s just commonsense. Iwish we didn’t have to passlaws to get people to do smartthings, but sometimes you got-ta.”

Bill B.

“Everyday I’mout in acar Isee around 40 percent of driv-ers with one hand on the steer-ingwheelandtheotherholdinga phone. A few times I’ve seendrivers with no hand on thewheeland lookingat their laps!

“The law is a good idea, butitwon’t help. Toomanydriversare addicted to their phonesand either cannot or will notgive up the practice of dis-tracted driving.

“Besides, the new law doesnot enable police to pull some-one over just for texting. Thepolice have to wait until theydrive on the sidewalk or someother infraction in order tostop them.”

R.V.

“Anything that distractsyou from driving is not good.This includes touch screens in-stead of knobs and levers tocontrol theHVAC and radio onmodern cars.

“Do I think the ban on text-ingwhile drivingwillmake theroads safer? No. The policedon’t enforce the ‘headlightsonwhenwindshieldwipers areon’ law, why would they en-force this? I’ve seen cops driv-ing in heavy rain without theirheadlights on, I’m sure somecops text and drive.”

J.S.K.

“While theConstitution,BillofRights,TenCommandmentsor rules of baseball simplycan't be altered, it's nice tokeep the lesser things in prop-er order.”

K.P.“It’s a good idea, but what

about these lame-brains wholisten to their i-Pods or what-ever playing the lousy musicwho drive completely oblivi-ous of the noises and carsaround them? I thought thatwas illegal to drive with ear-plugs in one's ears?”

Which path to take?This coming presidential elec-

tion offers a wonderfully, stark,could not be clearer choice forhow the USA will look in a fewshort years.

If you believe the federal gov-ernment in Washington, not indi-viduals in a free enterprise sys-tem, create and expand a pros-perous economy you'll want tovote for the one guy.

If examples all around lead totheconclusion thatambition,con-stant effort and personal accom-plishments of each person, morethan any other factors, can right-fullybecreditedfor theirgeneralstation in life, you'll be eager tovote for the other guy.

The winner will either leadAmerica further down the pathwe currently are on, or he'll pro-voke a revival of the greatnessthatpreviousgenerationsexperi-enced. It actually is nomore com-plicated than this. The decision isyours. Which do you want foryourself, your children and oth-ers who follow?

Issue 2 a bad ideaIn theTedStricklandyears the

Democrat party ran so manyjobs, businessesandpeopleout ofOhio that we lost several federalcongressional seats, andOhiohadto redraw the congressional dis-trict maps.

Therefore it should have beentwo Democrat congressmen letgo by the redistricting process,but the Republicans were fairand let only one Democrat con-gressmango.Even then theDem-ocrat Party threatened legal ac-tion. However, they backed downbecause so many politicians andobservers noted that the processwas very fair, and theDemocratswould surely lose a lawsuit.

So the Democrats are rollingout a new strategy, take the vot-ers out of the equation from nowon, starting in California andOhio. So the public unions, greenpeople, and other Democrat par-ty officials came up with Issue 2that, if passed this November,will put redistricting into thehands of potentially crookedgang of appointed people, whocan’t be fired, and who will havean unlimited budget of Ohio tax-payer money, but can be bought.What an evil plan.

It also is an illegal plan in twoways, according to Mark R.Brown, who is a constitutionalteacher and guest columnist ofthe Cleveland Plain Dealer.Whichever party has the firstcontrol of appointing this newgangmaycausecontrol ofOhio togoDemocratic, and thismaynev-er reverse, or the other wayaround, depending on whocoughs up themost cash (it’s usu-ally Democrats for things likethis).

This is a Democrat party stra-

tegic plan for the USA, and theDemocrat Party is now con-trolledbyopenly communist peo-ple.Help todefeat thisnasty trickon Ohio voters by voting “no” onIssue 2 this November. By theway, thegroup that put this on theballot for 2012 is called “Protec-tyourvote,” a catchy name to tryto suck inwhat theycall theuned-ucated voters.

High school trafficdiscriminates

The construction at LovelandHigh School is causing our kidsthat drive to school to be countedas late. Any kids riding a bus inthe same traffic are excused.

We live 4/10th of a mile fromthe only driveway into school atRich and Fallis. We can almostsee school.

The firstday,mydaughter leftbefore 7 a.m. and it took 20 min-utes. The second day she left ear-lier andwas late.OnFriday I tookher and I had to beg to get out ofour driveway.

How early can the kids try toget into school before the staffhas a tardy problem? While thereal world won’t cut you anyslack, maybe your hometownschool should because they areresponsible for the problem. Weare talking about minutes, nothours.

We should all be so proud of

Lovelandkids just trying toget toschool.Whileweallmighthave todeal with it, everyone should nothave tocome to school ona schoolbus. There has to be rules anddriving is a privilege. If school al-lows you to buy a parking pass,then they should recognize thattheir traffic does not discrimi-nate and neither should they.

» Residents in states wherereligious participation is high-est, particularly the South.

» Residents of “red” (Repub-lican) states. Of the 10 mostgenerous states, eight voted forJohn McCain.

» “Middle-class” families(annual income of $50,000 to$75,000) gave an average of 7.6percent of their discretionaryincome.

The stingiest are:» Residents in states where

religious participation is lowest,particularly the Northeast.

» Residents of “blue” (Demo-cratic) states. The seven lowest-ranking states supported BarackObama.

» “Wealthy” families (annual

income of$200,000-plus)gave an aver-age of only 2.8percent.

Of the twoprospectivepresidentialcandidatesfrom the majorparties, wehave a better

picture of Obama’s giving sincehe has disclosed his tax returns.From tax year 2000 through2009, Obama averaged 3.4 per-cent, with his giving increasingas he became more visible in thepublic eye, peaking at 14.2 per-cent in 2010.

For the two years Romneyhas released, 2010 saw giving of13.8 percent and 2011, 19.2 per-cent.

“Liberal” Democrat champi-on Al Gore, as vice-president,was criticized for giving only

$353 to charity on income of$197,729 (0.002 percent), al-though he did improve slightlyas he approached the 2000 presi-dential contest with George W.Bush.

Usually we associate “liber-al” with Democrat and “conser-vative” with Republican. Ac-cording to the dictionary, theword “liberal” is defined as“generous” or “progressive”whereas “conservative” is de-fined as “cautious” and “un-progressive.” Considering theabove statistics, what’s wronghere? Is our terminology wrongor backward?

Let’s assume best intentionsand that everyone wants to seethe poor, needy, disabled, sickand displaced cared for. Howare we to accomplish that markof a civilized society?

The “liberal” believes thatsuch benevolence should beprovided through tax-funded,

government-provided socialservices. He reasons, “I paid mytaxes to help others in need,taxes that are pooled with othersin a collective effort. I’ve paidenough already - no additionaldonations fromme are needed.It’s society’s responsibility.”

The “conservative” (who alsopays taxes that support govern-ment programs), informed byhis religion, reasons, “Yes, I paytaxes that pay for welfare, edu-cation and health care for theneedy. But, if I am to be loving(charitable), I have an individualresponsibility to give beyond mytaxes to help others.”

When analyzing people’s badbehavior, liberals tend to blamesociety collectively whereasconservatives blame the individ-ual behaving badly. So would itbe better to call Democrats“collectivists” and Republicans“individualists?”

Individualism inspires generosity

Randy KleineCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Smoking is not a topic I cover.That’sbecause Iwriteaboutper-sonal experiences and topics Iam familiar with. I’ve neverbeen a smoker. No one in my im-mediate family smokes and myparents didn’t smoke. I’ve livedsmoke free my whole life - ex-cept for public places. And nowthey are smoke free, too.

A lot of changes have takenplace in the last few years re-garding smoking. In 2006, Ohiowas the 12th state to pass a banon smoking in public places. To-day 27 states have smokinglaws.

We all know that smoking in-creases the chances of lung can-cer, pancreatic cancer, emphy-sema, chronic cough, and so on.We know it shortens life. In fact,the Center for Disease Controlestimated that adult male smok-

ers lose an av-erage of 13.2years of lifeand femalesmokers lose14.5 years oflife because ofsmoking. Yetmore than 48million peoplein the U.S. con-tinue to smoke.

The advantages of quittingsmoking arehuge. It doesn’t justextend your life, it raises thequality of it. You may think ittakes years of nonsmoking toimprove the quality of your life.The fact is it takes minutes, andthe benefits increase as the timewithout smoking increases.

Twenty minutes after youquit smoking, your blood pres-sure andheart ratewill return to

normal, as well as the temper-ature of your hands and feet.

Eight hours after quitting,the carbon monoxide level inyour blood drops to normal.

On day two, carbonmonoxideis expelled from your body andyour lungs start to clear out tar-encrusted mucus. Doesn’t thatsound disgusting! Your risk ofsudden heart attack is alreadysubstantially reduced.

On day three, there is a sig-nificant improvement in skintone; your ability to taste andsmell improves.

On day four, breathing is eas-ier, energy levels begin to in-crease and lung capacity beginsto increase. But look out - thesymptoms of withdrawal are attheir peak. Don’t give up!

In two to 12 weeks, walkingbecomes easier. In three to four

weeks,youmayfeelmorecheer-ful due toyourdopaminegettingback to normal.

After a year, your risk ofheart attack is half that of asmoker. After five years yourrisk of stroke is reduced to thatof someone who never smoked.

In 10 years, your risk of lungcancer falls to half that of asmoker. In 15 years, your risk ofcoronary heart disease is that ofa nonsmoker.

No matter what your age orhow long you’ve smoked, quit-tingwill help you live longer andbetter.

So, stop smoking right now,and in 20 minutes you’ll startfeeling better.

Linda Eppler is the director ofCommunity Services for Clermont

Senior Services.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2012

Lots of tires, and at least oneunique, unidentifiable piece ofgarbage were pulled from theScenic LittleMiami River by vol-unteers who joined Loveland Ca-noe & Kayak in the Little MiamiClean Sweep.

“Wehad26canoes,” saidMarkBersani, who owns Loveland Ca-noe & Kayak with his wife, Ro-byn. “We had about 54 volunteerspull out 77 tires.Youkind of thinkyou’re getting to the bottom of it,but it’s a big thing.”

The clean-up was part of aplan for a weekend-long cleansweep of the entire 105 miles ofthe Scenic Little Miami River.Joiningwith sponsors RiversUn-limited and Little Miami Inc.,Loveland Canoe & Kayak’s goalwas to clean a 10-mile stretch ofthe river from South Lebanon toLoveland.

“It was a great turnout,” Ber-sani said. “It was phenomenalweather. We had a group from St.Margaret of York; a group of

young people out. They just did agreat job.”

Employees from Kings Suba-ru joined other local companyvolunteers lending a hand withthe river sweep. Brickman Land-scapesendsagroupofvolunteersout every year to help. Bersanisays they brought in about one-thirdof theoverallvolumeofgar-bage collected. Some years ittakes a few days to get all thattrash cleared away. This year theIzaak Walton League helped outright away.

“The guys from Izaak WaltonLeague were fantastic,” he said.“They came by Sunday andpicked up all the trash and all thetires. They collect the tiresthroughout the year and thenthey recycle them withRumpke.”

All this happens while Love-land Canoe & Kayak continues toserve customers who only wantto go out for a recreational trip onthe river. They had what Bersanicalled a “really solid day” Satur-day.

“Itwasareallygoodday,”Ber-

sani said. “On top of that, we hadthe clean-up volume. It was closeto 200 boats weweremanaging. Iwasrealpleasedwith the turnout,effort and outcome.”

Sunday’s total was 170 boats.His staffwas really tired. Insteadof a tired staff dragging all thegarbage out to their dumpster,theywere thankful for IzaakWal-ton League’s help. And Eric Par-tee from Little Miami Inc. wasthankful for the help from Love-land Canoe & Kayak and all thevolunteers who keep coming outyear after year.

“We’ve been doing this for 45years,” Partee said. “It’s always athrill to get people out on the riv-er. They’re still so dedicated tocleaning up and saving this beau-tiful little river. It’s always agoodday to be on the river.”

Every year there is at leastone strange item. In 2011 it was alarge Christmas candy cane dec-oration. In 2010, Craig Morris ofLoveland Canoe & Kayak some-how unearthed a hot tub whichhad been dumped in the river.This year was no different asMorris partnered with LarryThompson and Will Schickel tohaul in a large unidentified sunk-en object.

“They pulled this thing outwhich Craig originally thoughtwaspart of the log flumeatKingsIsland,” said Bersani. “It wasn’t.It ended up being some kind ofbigaluminumtankthatwasstick-ing out of the river.”

They tied a couple of canoestogether which made it look a lotlikeapontoonboatas theyfloatedit back down to Loveland for re-moval. Overall, close to 100 vol-unteers helped remove 40 cubicyards of trash from the banks oftheLittleMiamiduring theweek-end.

“We’ll be continuing the effort

on Saturday August 25th alongtheriverbelowMilfordand in theWaynesville-Mather’s Mill areawith another round of wonderfulriver partners,” said Eric Parteeof Little Miami Inc. “Manythanks. The Little Miami is look-ing even more wild & scenic to-

day because of your efforts!”For more:

Yesterday I took dinnerto a friend who was ill. Iwanted to bring a dessertfor the family along withthe meal but didn’t have alot of time, so I decided tomake banana pudding.Here’s the recipe for youto try.

Mom’sno-cookbestbananapuddin’

The“mom” inthe title isme. Thisheirloomrecipe is an

easy dessert that the littleones can help with and ittastes so good. You candouble this recipe for a9-inch by 13-inch pan. Ifyou double the recipe, usethe larger box (5 oz. or so)of pudding. I put mine in asmaller casserole dish.

4 oz. cream cheese, softened½ cup sweetenedcondensedmilk (This ishalf of the 14 oz. can.Freeze the leftover milk.)

3.5 oz. package instantvanilla pudding

1½ cups milk1 tablespoonvanilla

2 cups whipping cream,sweetened to taste*,

whipped and divided, or16 oz. whipped topping,thawed and divided

3 ripe bananas, slicedAbout half a box of vanillawafers

Put cream cheese andcondensed milk in mixerand blend well. Whiskpudding mix into milk andvanilla, and blend untilsmooth. Add to creamcheese mixture. Blend welland fold in half thewhipped cream or whippedtopping. Save the otherhalf for garnish.

Make layers in casse-role dish:

Vanilla wafers, bananasand the pudding mixtureon top. Refrigerate at least1 hour before serving or upto 8 hours. Garnish withwhipped cream andmorewafers.

*To sweetenwhipping

cream: Stir in 1/4 cup pow-dered sugar or more totaste before whipping.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Sprinkle cocoa powderor shaved chocolate on top.

Stir in a couple handfulsof coconut into the pud-ding.

Make individual pud-dings in wine glasses.

Rita’s freezer pestoBasil is in season right

now. Make your own pestoand you’ll be happy youdid. This makes a niceamount and is better thananything you can buy. Plusless expensive in the longrun. A great topping forpizza, pastas, soups,breads. Fabulous dollopedon polenta that you’vecooked with a bit of garlicand Romano cheese. Pesto

is good on just about any-thing! Go to taste on garlic.

1 to 1½ teaspoons garlic,minced

¼ cup pine nuts, toasted ifdesired

½ stick unsalted butter½ cup parsley leaves4 cups basil leaves, packed1½ cups Parmesan cheese orto taste

½ to¾ cup extra virgin oliveoil

With food processor’smotor running, add garlicand nuts. Add everythingelse and process untilsmooth. Stays fresh inrefrigerator about a week.To freeze, either fill icecube tray sections orfreeze in plastic bags,laying them flat on top ofeach other.

With summer comingto an end andweather pat-terns changingaswe tran-sition into autumn, an in-crease in odor issues insouthwest Ohio can be ex-perienced.

The many parametersthat make up our weather(wind speed, wind direc-tion, cool overnight tem-peratures and barometricpressure) can affectwhether residents detectodors.

The Southwest OhioAir Quality Agency typi-cally sees an increase inthe number of odor com-plaints during this time ofyear. Odors are oftenmore prevalent in themorning hours when theair is very stable. Usually,the substance causing theodor is invery lowconcen-trations.

While the agency isaware of current odor is-sues, residents should re-

port excessive or overly-offensiveodors.Theagen-cy operates a 24-hour airquality complaint hotlineoffering prompt serviceto the air quality concernsof residents in the four-county area of Butler,Clermont, Hamilton andWarren counties. Com-plaints can be made byphone at 513-946-7777 oronline at www.Southwest-OhioAir.org/ Complaints.

With new, improvedcell phones coming outeach year it’s no wondernearly 500 million phoneswere sold worldwide lastyear alone. But before youbuy a new wireless phoneyou need to know yourrights, just in case some-thing goes wrong.

Cathy Schweitzer ofAlexandria bought threenew phones for herselfand family earlier thisyear. She quickly noticedthere was a problem withthe phone she bought forherself – it would take too

long to turnon.

Schweit-zer says, “Itook it backon April 2and theysaid theproblemwas theway I washolding the

phone. That I was pressingthese two buttons, thevolume and the on-off atthe same time. ‘Don’t dothat,’ they said, ‘and thatshouldn’t happen.’”

But Schweitzer saysshe had even more prob-lems and returned to thecell phone store two moretimes in the first 12 daysshe had the phone. “Theysaid, ‘This is the way theandroid phones work.’Well, the other two phonesI purchased did not.” Shetold that to the cell phoneemployee but he would nottake the phone back.

A few weeks later,when she was back at thestore for another reason,Schweitzer again inquiredabout getting a new phone

to replace the one withwhich she’s continued tohave problems. This timeshe was told the 14-dayreturn policy had expired.

In the meantime,Schweitzer continued tohave billing problems. Herbill shows the companytried to correct it by giv-ing her a credit, but thesame charges also ap-peared on the new bills.

At one point, she says, asupervisor tried to fix thebilling issues but she sayshe made it worse. Schweit-zer says, “He increased

the data plans from $19.99to $24.99, so now I’m over-charged on those. I’m stillnot getting the credit, I’mstill being charged for thepromotional officers – andthe phone still doesn’twork.”

I contacted the cellphone company and thecharges on her bill werecorrected. In addition,she’s now getting a newcell phone free of charge.That’s something she saysshe had been trying to dofor months.

The big thing to re-

member when buying anew cell phone is to take itback to the store immedi-ately if there’s a problem.You usually only have alimited time, in this casejust 14 days, in which toget a replacement phoneor cancel the sale altogeth-er. After that time youmay be out of luck.

Northern Hills Syna-gogue - Congregation B’naiAvraham will welcome5773 with the new Conser-vative movement HighHoliday mahzor and a spe-cial Creative Family Ser-vice.

Planning for the adop-tion of the newprayerbook,“Mahzor Lev Shalem,” be-gan last fall. Since then,

Rabbi Gershom Barnard,the congregation’s RitualCommittee, and many in-terested congregants havebeen studying the prayer-book and determining howto best utilize it during thisyear’s services.

“Mahzor Lev Shalem,”published by the Rabbini-cal Assembly in 2010, hasbeen widely applauded for

bringing Conservative lit-urgy up to date, includingreferences to the matri-archs alongside the patri-archs as an integral featureof the text, and expressinga contemporary Conserva-tive Jewish religious sensi-bility.

In addition to the tradi-tional text, the prayerbookpresents both a historical

overview and insight intothe meaning of prayers, anew English translationcloser to themeaningof theoriginal text, and plentifultransliterations.

In addition, the mahzorincludesHasidicstories, in-sights from luminariessuch as Abraham JoshuaHeschel and Martin Buber,and readings from contem-porary scholars focusingon spiritual issues and Jew-ish values. The congrega-tion solicited donations topay for a complete set ofthe mahzorim, and the ef-fort was quickly oversub-scribed.

Rabbi Gershom Bar-nard said, “The name of the

mahzor means ‘wholehearted,’ and it is our hopethat the ‘Mahzor Lev Sha-lem’ will help worshipersexperience the Holidays ina whole hearted way.”

Another highlight willbe theCreative Family Ser-vice at 10:30 a.m. Monday,Sept. 17, on the first day ofRosh Hashanah, under theleadership of MaksimShilkrot, thecongregation’snew director of educationand programming.

The service will focuson the laws associated withRosh Hashanah and whyweblowtheshofar.Shilkrotwill also also lead a JuniorCongregation service foryouth at10:30 a.m. Tuesday,

Sept. 18.Asalways,HighHoliday

services at Northern Hillswill be lay led and partici-patory, featuring the tal-ents of its congregants. Inaddition, theNorthernHillsChoir, under the directionof Claire Lee, will add theirvoices to the power andbeauty of the services. Notickets are required.

Northern Hills Syna-gogue is at 5714FieldsErtelRoad in Deerfield Town-ship, between I-71andSnid-erRoad. Formore informa-tion about the services, in-cluding service times,please contact the Syna-gogue office at 931-6038.

Synagogue has new prayerbook, family service

The Jewish Federationof Cincinnati and the localJewish community areproud tohavehosted the Is-raeli Ankor Choir for the2012 World Choir Games.

The choir’s visit was theresult of months of plan-ning. During a trip back toIsrael, Community Sha-liach (emissary from Isra-el) Yair Cohen personallyauditioned several choirs

to select the one that wouldbest represent the JewishState. The Ankor Choir –made up of 25 female stu-dents at the JerusalemAcademy High School ofMusic and Dance – was hisclear choice.

This choir is best knownfor its partnership withYad VaShem, Israel’s Holo-caust Memorial Museum.They participate in the an-nual Yom HaShoah (Holo-caust Remembrance) cere-monyandperformforeachforeign head of state whovisits Israel, includingPresident Bill Clinton andPope John Paul II.

Jewish Federation ofCincinnati staff spent thenext months working withother community organiza-tions to plan the choir’stour. They understood theimportance of showcasingthe choir to the widestrange possible of Jewishand non-Jewish audiencesand also of giving theyoungwomen in the choir agood picture of Jewish lifein Cincinnati.

Cohen said, “Theseyoung women not only hada life-changing experiencethanks to our community,but also learned muchabout the strong connec-tion of Cincinnati to Israeland what that means. Theyare going back home to Is-rael with a better under-standing of American Jew-ry, which is just as impor-tant as winning gold med-als.”

The staff also recruitedcommunity members tovolunteer as hosts, escort-ing the choir to their vari-ous destinations in the cityand, basically, serving asconcierges. The JewishFederation of Cincinnati isproud of these volunteers –and of Cincinnatians in

general – for thewarmwel-come they offered our visi-tors.

Ankor Choir DirectorDafna Ben-Yohananagreed.

“I’ve never seen somuch friendliness andwarmth. Every venue wewent to, everybody wassmiling, happy and wel-coming. I thought maybethe mayor of Cincinnatigave out happy pills beforewe came.”

The Ankor Choir com-peted in two categories atthe World Choir Games:Youth Choirs of EqualVoices, where they won agoldmedal, andMusica Sa-cra, where they won silver.They also sang at RockdaleTemple for JCC campersand seniors, at Wise Tem-ple, at Heritage BaptistChurch in Lebanon and atCedar Village.

Cedar Village RabbiGerry Walter said, “Theyoung ladies sang theirhearts out and spent won-derful time visiting withour elders as well. It wasone of the finest things thatever occurred at CedarVil-lage.”

The choir also visitedsome of the landmarks ofJewishCincinnati–HebrewUnion College and theAmerican Jewish Ar-chives, the Center for Hol-ocaust and Humanity Edu-cation and UC Hillel. Mostnotably, they sang to apacked house as part of aFriendship Concert in theJCC’s Amberley Room,along with choirs from theUnited States and Poland.

The Cincinnati Enquir-er’s JanelleGelfand namedthe Friendship Concert atthe JCC one of her favoritemoments of the WorldChoir Games.

Members of the Ankor Choir perform an impromptu Israeli dance at the World ChoirGames Global Village on Fountain Square July 6. THANKS TOMICHAEL SARASON
