LOVELAND—TheLove-land Planning and ZoningCommission tabled dis-cussions on two proposedchanges to its zoningcodes at its meeting Feb.5.

The first proposedchange is to alter zoningregulations to allowCleveland-baseddevelop-er PIHRL to build a sen-ior-only condominiumcomplex bordering EastLoveland Avenue, ThirdStreet andO'BannonAve-nue.

The developer is ask-ing the commission tochange the current occu-pancy-density limit be

raised from 36 to 45 unitsper square acre its princi-ple says will serve a direneed for the city’s seniorresidents who need assis-tance.

“(Elderly) people don’thave the opportunity cur-rently to stay in the area,”said David Burg, princi-pal and co-founder ofPIHRL LLC. “Our devel-opment would fill theneed for that demograph-ic.”

The increase to 45units, Burg said, is neces-sary to meet the financialgoals of the developer.

The topic ofmodifyingdensity regulations isn’tnewterritoryfor thecom-mission or Loveland resi-dents. In 2011, developer

Rick Greiwe proposed aplan tochange thedensityallowed in Special Plan-ning District 15, whichpassed, changing the den-sity allowance to36 rentalunits per square acre.

Mayor Rob Weisger-ber spoke at the hearing,but said he would mostlikely have to recuse him-self from official discus-sions on the topic becausehe lives too near the pro-posed development site.

“We need to look at thecharacter of the neigh-borhood, and SPD-15, asnegotiated, didn’t makeeveryone happy” Weis-gerber said. “I am veryconcerned that we areback at jeopardizing thecharacter of the neigh-

borhood.”Also discussed in a

public hearing was thematter of commercial-recreation use in the

light-industrial district.Most notable is the con-sideration of a potentialgun shop and indoorshooting range being

opened by Steve Ling,who also is exploring asmany as five other prop-erties in different areasto house his business.

“Theyreally lookupto theold-er students,” said Sandy Geiger,Loveland Elementary third-grade teacher. “They knew theywere traveling to the ‘big school’andyou could just sense their ex-citement. The bus was buzzingwith energy!”

For this group of elementary

The projectis an ongoing letter exchange be-tween the third-graders and LHSNationalHonor Society students.

“Every year the studentswouldwritebackandforth tooneanother throughout the year,”

Lawrence said. “They would ex-change photos and fun informa-tion about themselves. My third-graders just couldn’t wait to getthe letters; it was the highlight ofthedaywhentheywouldarriveinmy classmail!”

In all of the past Pen Pal pro-jects, the LHS studentsmade thevoyage to LES for a face-to-facemeeting; this year was the firstyear the younger students trav-eled to the high school.

“Total success,” said Jennifer

Forren, LES principal. “I was soimpressed with the way the Na-tional Honor Society students in-teracted with our children; theywereat easeandengaged– itwassuch anupbeat experience for allinvolved.”

“They talked, they laughedand they had such a fun time to-gether,”Geiger said. “I know thisisameetingourstudentswill longremember, and this is a writingproject that will have a lasting,positive impact.”

FINNEYTOWN—Therewas acertain expectation going intothis season for the St. Xavierhockey team.

That is the reason coachAdam Tramonte was pleased,but not surprised, byhis team’srun to its first Southwest OhioHigh School Hockey Leaguetournament final.

“This year is the first yearwe expected to be in thatgame,”Tramonte said. “Wehadyears in the past where we up-setaNo.1team,butwecouldn’tdo it two games in a row. Weplayed to our strength andmanaged to get in the game.”

The Bombers came out onthe short end of a 3-1 loss toSpringboro in the tournamentfinal, but they can take solacein thefact that for thefirst timein program history they areback-to-back SWOHSHLSouthDivision champions.

“It’s good,” Tramonte said.

“Obviously I’m very happyconsidering we had never wonit beforeandnowtoget two inarow is great for our seniors andit’s a great way for them to goout.”

After a 22-9-2 regular sea-son the Bombers were poisedforapostseasonrun,butUpperArlington put a stop to the St.Xmomentumbyknockingoff theninth-seeded Bombers 6-0 in

the second round of the districttournament Feb. 16.

It was an unexpected resultfor Tramonte, who believed ifhis squad played their gamethey would advance despitefacing the higher-seeded Gold-en Bears.

Despite the early postsea-son exit, one of the reasons forthe Bombers’ success this sea-son was the play between the

pipes of senior Matt Thornleyand freshmen Zach Thomas.Tramonte split time betweenthe two for most of the seasonuntil Thomas went down withan injury, but will now serve asthe backup to Thornley duringthe postseason.

“Thornley has been incharge for the lastmonth,”Tra-monte said. “I was getting tothe point where I was going topick one and I was going withthe senior. With (Thomas) get-ting hurt it just sped up theprocess.”

Offensively it has been theMitch Blank show. The seniorset a new team record with 66points this season, shatteringthe old record of 47.

“Thekid isgreat,”Tramontesaid. “He is great in the class-room.He’s got nearly every ac-ademicaward in the league.Hehasstepped itupasa leader.Heis a shy kid, believe it or not,and to see him vocally chal-lenge his teammates in theright way is just like ‘wow.’”

Thank you for supportingAdopt-a-Senior program – again

I’ve been with ClermontSenior Services for just over 18years. When I first came, theAdopt-a-Senior programwasproviding gifts to five or sixseniors every year. For thefirst few years, it barely grewat all.

Then one year I wrote abouta customer named Edward. Ihad offered to deliver a coupleof donated gifts to him so hewould have them before Christ-mas day. I found Edward’smobile home located in anisolated part of the county. Itwas set back in a valley be-tween heavily wooded, steephills. There was one small,frame house a bit farther downthe road. Aside from that, there

was no othersign of civiliza-tion.

As I ap-proached thefront door, Inoticed bread-crumbs sprin-kled on theground for thebirds andsquirrels. I

suspected that they were theonly regular visitors Edwardever had. When he opened thedoor, I saw an elderly, stoop-shouldered man with a broad,friendly smile. He wore an oldtattered sweater fasteneddown the front with large safe-ty pins. I smiled to myself,

knowing that one of the boxescontained a new sweater.

I visited with Edward forclose to an hour. He was 90years old and had a lot to talkabout. He told me howmuch heenjoyed watching the wildlifefrom his window and I remem-bered seeing bread crumbs onthe ground.

Then he told me howmuchourMeals-on-Wheels andhomemaking services meant tohim. It wasn’t just the food andhelp that were important, buthe liked having the volunteersand staff stop by. Seeing himstooped over a walker, I knewthat he could not manage on hisown and I was glad that wecould help him continue living

in his own home.Edward is deceased now, but

it was his simple story thatignited the Adopt-a-Seniorholiday program. It’s beenstrong ever since.

This year was the biggestever. Hundreds of generousvolunteers donated more giftsthan we could count. Includinggroup donations, around 700seniors received gifts this year.Some seniors received giftsspecific to them. Others re-ceived more generic items,such as towels, personal careitems and so on. But these giftsare no less appreciated. Therewere some fun things too -puzzles, cookies, games and pettreats.

Once again the gifts werebeautifully wrapped andmanygift bags had personal, hand-written notes, wishing the sen-ior a Merry Christmas – per-sonal notes from one strangerto another. You don’t have toknow someone to sincerelycare for them and wish themwell.

The people of ClermontCounty have big hearts andthey are committed to givingno matter what the economicforecast. Many thanks to all ofyou who generously supportedthe elderly citizens of our com-munity.

Linda Eppler is director ofCommunity Services for Clermont

Particulate matter (PM) isa type of air pollution that canoccur year round.

PM comes from wood burn-ing, motor vehicles, industrialoperations, and power genera-tion. By reducing PM emis-sions in the winter you can toprotect your heath, lower yourenergy bills and save gasmoney. This winter, there aremultiple ways you can helpreduce PM whether you areon the go, at the office or inyour home.

On the go:» If possible, use alternate

transportation. Carpool, ridethe bus or walk.

» Do not letyour car idlefor more than30 secondsexcept whenin traffic.Waiting forthe car to heatup wastes gasand pollutesthe air. Warmup your car bydriving it.

At the office:» Use teleconferencing

rather than having everyonedrive to one location for ameeting.

» Encourage employees to

carpool to work.» Turn of the lights when

you leave a room.» Turn off your computer

when you leave the office.Screen savers still use energy.

In your home:» Place plastic sheeting on

your windows to reduce colddrafts and lower your heatingneeds.

» Set the thermostat be-tween 66 and 68 degrees. Forevery one degree lower, youcan save 1 percent to 3 per-cent off your heating costs.

» Reduce the use of fire-places and wood-burningstoves.

» If you have a fire, burnonly clean, seasoned wood andnon-glossy paper.

» Use energy saving lightbulbs.

» Air dry dishes instead ofusing the dishwasher’s dryingcycle.

By taking these simplesteps, you can help improvethe air quality in your neigh-borhood.

The Southwest Ohio AirQuality Agency works withgovernment agencies, busi-nesses, communities and citi-zens to achieve and maintainhealthy air quality for Butler,Clermont, Hamilton and War-

ren counties in SouthwestOhio. The agency is a divisionof the Hamilton County De-partment of EnvironmentalServices which also encom-passes the Hamilton CountyRecycling and Solid WasteDistrict.

Feb. 13 questionWill you miss U.S. Postal Ser-

vice mail delivery on Saturdays?Why or why not?

“Yes, to some extent, butpostal mail is not like it waswhen I was a youngster grow-ing up. Back in that time, themailman delivered our mailtwice a day!

“Today, virtually all of themailwe get are requests for do-nations to charity and ads, andoccasional greeting cards. (I'vereceivedover650mailed solici-tations in the past year askingfor money – all worthy causes,too, but I can't give to all ofthem.)

“I have a sister and nephewwithwhom I communicate fair-ly regularly through the postoffice, but I doubt that manypeople do this any more. Itseems obvious that many peo-ple have stopped using themailand replaced it with Internetusage, to pay bills, to communi-cate with each other, etc.

“It is amazing tome that giv-en the huge deficits the post of-fice has incurred in recentyears it is still in existence. Onething theymighthave triedear-lier is to raise the first-classpostage rate in a meaningfulway, not 1 or 2 cents. But thatwould have only been a tempor-ary measure.

“The days of the post officeare numbered.”

Bill B.

“I depend heavily on USPS

Priority Mail Service in my taxbusiness, but nobody who usesthese services expectsdeliveryfaster than a few days.

“There is nodeliveryonSun-day and eliminating Saturdaysis no big deal. UPS and FEDEXdo not deliver on Saturdays?

“Most of what comes in themail these days is junk thatgoes straight to the recycle bin.If you want it fast, fax or scanand email.”

F.S.D.

“Yes, I will miss Saturdaydelivery. It has always been in-teresting to me that it was onlyever reported that it would beSaturday that would bedropped. So many businessesnow operate seven days/week,and folks have lamented thateven on Thanksgiving storeswere open, I wonder whyWednesday wasn't consid-ered.”

M.A.M.

“I will miss the Postal Ser-

vice delivery on Saturdays.“Often I'll sit outside on my

veranda here in IndianHill andhope that the postman is deli-vering the latest issue of somemagazine I enjoy likeMaximorPlayboy.

“I can then sit back have afewmartinis and just enjoymyjust-delivered magazines forSaturday and on Sunday afterchurch.

“That won't happen now,since I don't have that time dur-ing the week to just kick backduring the day, due to work.”

I.P.

“Absolutely not. I've saidthis time and time again, if theUSPS wants to cut costs, elim-inate the Saturday mail.

“What is so important for thenormal household that youmust get mail on Saturday thatcannot wait until Monday?

“Almost all major officesand corporations are closed onweekends, retail is open week-ends, but what is sent out on aSaturday unless it is somethingthat someones life depends on.”

O.H.R.

“I've thought for quite sometime that Saturday deliverywas unnecessary. But the realproblem with the finance prob-lem of the Postal Service is theunbelievable retirement bene-fits. The postal service is sup-posed to be self sufficent, butthe reality is that we, the tax-payers, are paying for an out-dated system.

"Email and all of the otherelectronic devices have takenover. This is not the 19th centu-ry any more. They need to getcaught up with the technology.

“Truthfully, most of mymailis junkmail. That I can dowith-out!”

J.K.

“Tome, Saturday delivery isno big issue. I often said overthe past several years that thePostal Service shouldmakema-jor adjustments in their deliv-ery service.

“I do feel that businessesshould have full five-day ser-vice, whereas residential couldget by on alternating two-dayservice. I would have no prob-lemwith deliveries beingmadeon Monday/Thursday or Tues-day/Friday with all areas of thepostal district being dividedinto sections.

“If you need a five-day ser-vice there are post office boxesthat can be rented, or if youneeded to send out packages,special services, etc., that facil-itywould remain open through-out the week. What a savingsthere would be to cut expensesin half.

“I also feel that small busi-nesses, within a certain radialarea of the post office, shouldhaveaarea topickup theirmailand eliminate service jeeps toeach individual small business(excluding from this large-vol-ume delivery businesses ).

“I realize the hardship thatthe postal union would go

through and that individualsand businesses would have tomake adjustments, but look atthe billions of dollars thatwould be saved each year.

“Oh yes, I didmention this toan employee years ago and shesaid the union would not standfor this type of adjustments. Ifonly some people would puttheir foot down and get theirheads out of the clouds, moneycould be saved and the PostalService might survive.”

THINGS TO DO IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Greasers. Poodle Skirts. 1950s Rock'n Roll. Hot Rods. Must be "Schmaltz-The Musical,” aPurim-based take-off on "Grease.” The joint production between Congregation OhavShalom in Sycamore Township and Northern Hills Synagogue in Deerfield Township has anarray of talent to put their distinctive stamp on this play. Taking place on Feb. 23 atCongregation Ohav Shalom, this one night only event falls on Purim, a Jewish holidayrecorded in the Book of Esther. The evening starts at 7:15 p.m. for services and therecounting of the Purim story, known as the Megillah reading. Afterwards, a1950s-inspired dinner will be served, including homemade hamentashen-a Purimpastry-for dessert. And then the play begins, which tells the story of Purim loosely linkedto the music from Grease. Chava Vidal, Programming Chairperson for Congregation OhavShalom, and the play's director, said, "Schmaltz is an original 50s style Yiddishinterpretation of Purim. Instead of characters such as Danny the greaser, and Sandy, ourplay has Esther and Haman, key players in the Purim story." The original script was createdby Chaya Vidal, mother of Chava. Schmaltz is one of several original musicals Chaya haswritten for synagogues across the country. 1950s-style attire is encouraged. The dinner is$15 per person for adults and $6 per child ages 12 and under. A cash bar will be available.Contact 485-9139, or visit ohavshalom.org or nhs-cba.org. Space is limited. THANKS TO ANN

Blue Ash Republicansline up 2013 speakers

Yesterday, grand-daughter Eva and Ishared a simple countrypleasure. We went for awalk downmy path thatleads to the East ForkRiver. She wanted to seeif the watercress wasgrowing in our little

spring-fedpool alongthe pathand if the“Eastergrass”(wild on-ions) wasup yet.Well, nowatercressfor oursalad, but

the wild onions weregrowing in little patchesalong an old stone wall.

There was a bonus,too: Wild yellow aconitewas poking through lay-ers of fallen leaves andsnow all over the hill.What a surprise that was.I think this is the earliestyet that I’ve seen both ofthese harbingers ofspring. The aconite’sneon yellow petals lookdelicate but are sturdyenough to survive undera layer of snow. The flow-ers have a history, too.

Our friend Ike Leaf, ofblessed memory, tossedthe first handful of seedson top of the hill yearsago. “When they dropseeds, they’ll tumbledown the hill and eventu-ally cover it,” he said.And they have. Check out

my blog for a photo ofEva picking wild aconite.

Pesto stuffed porktenderloin

A recipe that garnersfans every time it’sserved. My friend, MaryLee Olinger, an AndersonTownship reader, firstshared this with me awhile back. She had eatenthis stuffed pork at thehome of her friend, MaryAnnMyers. My latestversion includes freshparsley and Romanocheese. Make sure youuse pork tenderloin andnot the loin, because theloin won’t cook in thetime given. Check a fewminutes before it’s done –I roast my pork to 145 orso (see my tip below).Use ready-made pesto or

my homemade. Eventhough Easter is weeksaway, you might want tosave this recipe for East-er dinner, it’s that good.

2 pounds pork tenderloin,trimmed

Ready-made or homemadepesto

Romano cheese, grated (orParmesan)

Pine nutsButcher stringFresh chopped parsley andextra cheese for garnish

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Slice the tender-loin, lengthwise, not quiteall the way through.Spoon pesto until it fills(and overflows a bit) thecavity. Gently tie roast inthree places to keep ittogether. Place onsprayed baking pan.

Sprinkle a good amountof cheese and nuts overroast. Bake until done(145 degrees). In my ovenit takes about 25-30 min-utes; it may take longerin yours. If the pine nutsstart to get too brown,tent meat with foil. Letrest about 10 minutes,tented with foil. Afterslicing, sprinkle withparsley andmore cheese.This feeds four to fivepeople.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Nervous about porktemperature? The USDAsays 145 degrees is safe.After resting a fewmin-utes, the temperaturewill rise a few degrees,enough to kill any harm-ful bacteria. The meatwill be juicy andmaylook pink.

Rita’s pestoGo to taste on this.

3⁄4 to 1 teaspoon garlic,minced

2 tablespoons pine nuts2 tablespoons softenedbutter

2 cups basil leaves, packed1⁄2 cup Parmesan cheese1⁄4 cup Romano cheese (oruse all Parmesan)

OhioValleyVoiceswillhonorWyomingresidentsDr. Charles Myer andGinny Myer at its annualgala fundraiser “Come tothe Islands,” Saturday,Feb. 23, at The Oasis Golf& Conference Center.

The Myers’ supporthas been instrumental inthe success of the pro-gram teaching hundredsof deaf children to speakand understand speech.The Myers understandthe crucial need OVVserves in our community.

“Ohio Valley Voices isvital for children withhearing loss in the com-munity,” Ginny Myersaid. “OVV gives themtheopportunity togrowtotheir fullest potential andbe anything they want tobe.”

Charles Myer, whopractices pediatric otola-

ryngology at CincinnatiChildren’s Medical Hos-pital, served as the firstpresident of the Ohio Val-leyVoicesBoardofTrust-ees from1995 to 2005. Hewas involved in develop-ing the initial policies andprocedures for the newboard and school.

GinnyMyer joined theboard in 2006, has servedas thedevelopmentchair-person on the Board ofTrustees, and as galacommittee co-chair in2009. The Myers havedemonstrated their pas-sion for its mission andpride in the excellent in-stitution OVV has be-come.

“We are the only pro-gram of our kind in theTristate area,” saidMariaSentelik, executive direc-tor of the program whichhas seen more than 120deaf children transitionback into their communi-ty school. “Each of our

graduates is succeedingalongside their hearingpeers.”

The program began in1999 when three localfamilies wanted theiryoung deaf children tospeak and to understandspeech.
