here to plant 1,000 dog-woods to honor her greatwork.”

The Loveland HighSchool students also plant-ed five flowering dogwoodtrees in the woods by theLittleMiamiRiverOct.17 –

a pink one for Judy Leeverand fourwhite ones for herhusband and their threesons.

Loveland City Council-man Brent Zuch read aproclamation honoringLeeverat a short ceremonybefore the students beganplanting the trees near theLoveland Bike Trail offRailroad Avenue in Love-land.

“Judy justly earned therespect, admiration and

high regard of everyoneshe met,” Zuch said.

“Our community hasbeen left with a deep feel-ing of sorrow for the loss ofsuch an honored and re-spected citizen.”

Art Jarvis, a member oftheLovelandBoard ofEdu-cation, said the ceremonyand planting of trees was agreat way to honor a wom-an who exemplified thespirit of Loveland.

“Every time I see one of

those trees I will think ofJudy and the fantastic rolemodel she was to us andhow her memory was hon-ored today as our seniorstudents and communitycame together to furtherbeautify our great commu-nity,” Jarvis said.

“You will often hear mesay that moving to Love-landwas one of the best de-cisions my wife and I evermade.

“Today was another daythat served to solidify thatfeeling,” Jarvis said.

LOVELAND—The Love-land Symmes FirefightersAssociation hopes byyear’s end to launch theJackson Street Market onthe former railroad cargoplatform next to the KarlBrown building in historicdowntown Loveland.

“The new space will in-corporate a street markettheme that will includeoverhead screening forweather protection alongwith electrical and light-ing features all placed on anew concrete pad to re-semble the old railroadpad placed there decades

ago,” said Otto Huber,chief of the Loveland-Symmes Fire Department.

“(It will feature) open-air vendors selling newgoods like Findlay Market(in Cincinnati’s Over-The-Rhine neighborhood).

“The Loveland Farm-ers’ Market (now at WestLoveland Avenue and Sec-ond Street) will be movingthere next year,” Hubersaid.

“Firefighters are hope-ful that the LovelandFarmers’ Market and oth-er like opportunities pre-vail to utilize the space andattract more foot traffic tothe trail and the historicdistrict.”

Huber said the Love-land Symmes FirefightersAssociation has hoped toestablish the JacksonStreet Market – which isalso to be a venue for spe-cial events – ever since theassociation bought theKarl Brown building atWestLovelandAvenueandKarl Brown Way about 15years ago.

The Jackson StreetMarket will operate year-round, weather permit-ting, between the KarlBrown building and theLoveland Bike Trail fromWest Loveland Avenue tothe railroad tracks.

Huber said the marketis based on a concept by

artist David Camele ofLoveland, who designedthe Loveland-SymmesFirefighters’ Memorial atHarrison Street and Rail-roadAvenueandtheVeter-ans’ Memorial at WestLoveland Avenue and Riv-erside Drive.

Each of some 20 spacesplanned for the JacksonStreet Market will carrythe name of a historicJackson Street business,thanks to help from theGreater Loveland Histori-cal Society.

“The firefighters willwork with city leaders toestablish guidelines foruse of the space that fallwithin the zoning andbuilding codes,” Hubersaid.

“A website will be es-tablished to list thoseguidelines and applica-tions for use.”

Huber said the Love-land Symmes FirefightersAssociation has beenworking with Lovelandcity employees, especiallymembers of the PublicWorks Department, to es-tablish the Jackson StreetMarket.

The Loveland SymmesFirefighters Associationand the city of Lovelandlong have cooperated oncommunity projects, Hub-er said.

“The city of Lovelandand the firefighters haveworkedcollaboratively formany years on the parkinglots for the historical dis-trict aswell, andonprovid-ing space for the EastLoveland Nature Preserveand the knothole teamplaying field as well as theEast Loveland salt domelocated at the firefighters’property on East Loveland

Avenue,” Huber said.Gary Vidmar, assistant

Loveland city manager,said hopes are that theJackson Street Marketopens in time for the annu-al Christmas in Lovelandevent scheduled for Satur-day, Dec. 15.

“The city of Lovelandand the Loveland SymmesFirefighters Associationare excited to bring theJackson Street Market tohistoric downtown Love-land,” Vidmar said.

“The market will pro-vide a central location forvendors to sell their prod-ucts during communityevents and other specialoccasions throughout theyear.

“The city hopes that itbecomes the catalyst forincreased year-round traf-fic to our local business-es,” Vidmar said.

BATAVIA — ClermontCounty employees willhave a option of savingmoney on health carecosts by selecting a high-deductible health plan in2013.

The Clermont Countycommissioners Sept. 26voted to renew its healthinsurance plans, addingthe high-deductible planto two traditionalplansof-fered through Humana.

Commissioner BobProud said the high-de-ductible plan was just anoption; employees couldremainwithoneof the tra-ditional plans.

Steve Ashe, accountmanager with Horan As-sociates Inc., the county’shealth care consultant,said the new option wouldhave deductibles of$2,500 for an individualand $5,000 for a family.

Premiums would belower than the traditionalplans and employeeswouldbeeligible to openahealth savings account,whichwould be fundedbythe county.

Employees can use thehealth savings account topay for medical expensesnot covered by insurance.

Unlike a flexiblespending account, moneyin a health savings ac-count is not lost at the endof the year if not used.

The commissionersagreed to contribute$1,000 to the health sav-ings accounts for individ-ual employees selectingthe high-deductible planand $2,000 for employeesselecting family, employ-ee plus spouse or employ-ee plus children coverageunder the high-deductibleplan.

The county’s total pro-jectedhealth care cost for2013 is $11.1million.

In the four years Ja-naya Trotter has been alawyer, she’s representeddefendants in 13 criminalcases in Hamilton County.

Her opponent in therace for Hamilton CountyProsecutor, incumbent JoeDeters, has put? almosttwice that many murder-ers on death row.

“Just because you arewell-known does not meanyou are well-liked,” Trot-ter said.

Bigresultsmattermorethan big talk, Deterscountered.

“Ifyour sonordaughterwasmurdered, who do youwant to chase the badguy?” Deters asked.

Trotter responded thatshe prosecuted “thou-sands” of criminal cases asan assistant Cincinnati so-licitor handling misde-meanor cases before shebecame a private attorney.

Hamilton County’sProsecutor oversees an of-fice of 178 employees, in-cluding 110 lawyers whoprosecute criminal casesranging from traffictickets to murder. Theyalso serve as attorneys forcountygovernment incivilsuits.

The race pits a veteranRepublican crime-fighterand powerful politicianagainst a feisty but inexpe-rienced Democrat.

Deters was Prosecutorfrom 1992-1999 and 2005-presentwith a stint asOhioTreasurer in between. He

also has served as head ofthe Hamilton County Re-publican Party.

Trotter believes De-ters’ office focuses toomuch on violent, seriouscrimes. A greater focusshould be given, she said,to the more numerous“non-violent, smallercases” where creative so-lutions need to be found.

For example, beforesomeone is convicted ofdomestic violence, shecalls for having the ac-cused abuser go throughan abuse-prevention pro-gram and for the victim toget counseling. That’s be-cause so many domesticviolence cases, she said,are dropped because theparties reconcile. Herplan, she said, will help re-duce jail overcrowding.

“It takes a prosecutor’soffice that’s not going topass the buck and say‘That’s not our job,’ ” to gether suggested programsimplemented, Trotter said.

That’s the ideology ofan inexperienced lawyerwith littlepractical experi-ence who never has heldelected office, Deters be-lieves.

“Just because I coachmy kid’s football teamdoesn’t mean I should becoaching the CincinnatiBengals this week,” De-ters said.

Trotter attacked De-ters, the longest servingProsecutor in HamiltonCounty history, for being apart-time prosecutor.

“He has not been veryvisible,”Trotter said. “Just

because someone says youcan do the bare minimumdoesn’t mean you should.”

The Hamilton CountyProsecutor is a four-yearterm that pays $123,313 an-nually.BecauseDeters hasan outside law practice,Ohio law mandates hispart-time Prosecutor sala-ry to be cut to $88,135. De-ters voluntarily took thecut a few years ago, he

said, to save one of his em-ployees from being laidoff.

“That’s just apayclassi-fication,” Deters said.“That has nothing to dowith how much time Ispend as Prosecutor. Iguarantee you it’s at least40 hours” per week.

Detershasaprivate lawpractice in the office of at-torney Stan Chesley.

KENWOOD — Coming off thesecond-lowest Cincinnati Eastsectional score ever with fourCrusaders at 291, Moeller golfcoach Rick Bohne hoped to dupli-cate the effort at Ohio State’sScarlet course.

Inhighschoolgolf, it’sallaboutpeaking at the right time.

“I think the last couple ofweeks of the regular season andcertainly the sectional and dis-trictswassomeof thebestgolfweplayed,” Bohne said. “They don’thand out any awards in August.”

In 26 years of coaching, Bohnehas been to the state tournament16 timesnow.That’s three individ-

uals and 13 teams.“Funny thing is, you remem-

ber the ones that were close,”Bohne said. “They still bug me.”

This year’s squad was led bysenior AndrewBenza, a first-team GreaterCatholic League-South selection.

“He tied formedal in the sec-tional andwas tiedfor second in thedistrict,” Bohnesaid.

JustbehindBenzahasbeenfel-low seniorMatthewWetherill andanother senior Mason Eckley.

“Those two kids (Benza andWetherill) have been our anchors

all year,” Bohne said. “We’ve hadother guys play well. Mason Eck-ley is our most experienced. Hewas at state two years ago withthat team.”

As Eckley can attest to, theJack Nicklaus-designed coursecanbeabear.Alongwithbunkers,crooks, crannies and creeks,Mother Nature also comes intoplay.

“It plays different, accordingto theweather conditions,” Bohnesaid. “It’s hard to begin with.You’ve got to have the ideal day.They put the pins in tough spots.You have to put it center of thegreen most of the time.”

With two left-handers on theteam, Evan Probst and Quinn Sul-livan, Bohne had hoped to solve

Defenders Bohn,Mattes, Vogt and Wagneragain found strength intheir numbers and kept theSpartans shooting high andwide. Center defender andco-captain Karl Mattesworkedhard at keeping thebackline organized andmade two crucial last-sec-ond clears off the line thatotherwisewere goal-boundas the Spartans tried theirbest to draw Tiger defenseandkeeper,Lundeen, out ofposition.

Up at midfield, EthanConte and Ryan Melinkalso turned in very strongperformances this match.

Kyle Mattes scoredonce again for Lovelandand JonnyWilliams rackedup two goals, as well. NickRanieri was credited fortwo assists. The final scorewas 5-0 Loveland.

Loveland 3, Milford 0 –A determined Lovelandsquad took the field againstrival Milford, Oct. 11. De-spite a series of early triesat the net, the Tigers couldnot finish until 17 minuteshad elapsed.

After collecting a ballsent forward out of themidfield by Kyle Mattes,Marty Bixler worked it inclose and grazed one intothe corner netting. Milfordcountered hard until thehalf ended keeping Tigerdefense on its toes. Fiveminutes before the half, itwas Connor Wagner’s turnto race down an Eagle balland dramatically clear itoff the line.

The second half sawCollin Melink sent to theturf inside the box. The re-sulting penalty kick byMartyBixler, put Lovelandup 2-0. Ten minutes later,KyleMattes –driving far inup themiddle -dishedaballoff to JonnyWilliams as hecrashed the net from theleft side to score it.

Making ECC first teamfor Loveland was sopho-more first singles playerDevinLally.Alsoreceivingleague honors were seniorSarah Hoderlein and ju-nior Lauren Schneider assecond-team first doubles.Making honorable men-tion, was third singles sen-ior Natalie Dall.

Unfortunately, none oftheLadyTigersmade itoutof the Division I sectionalinMason.Lallywasseededthird,but fell short toSyca-more’sGraceKays6-7, 6-3,6-4.

“She was real disap-pointed she lost,” Sharp-less said. “Credit Syca-more. I think they pushed

through a couple of theirplayerswhodidn’t regular-ly play singles and theirdoubles teammade it.”

Sharpless is encour-aged by the fact Lally hastwo more years of highschool tennis to go.

“She’sgettingbetter ev-ery day,” he said.

Almost making dis-tricts for Loveland wassenior Katie Hoderlein,who finished the regularseason 11-9. Defeating herin the sectional quarterfi-nalswasSycamore’sJamiePescovitz, 6-3, 6-3.

“She got injured in thatlast match,” Sharplesssaid. “Shepulleda legmus-cle. She was kind of disap-pointed because shethoughtshecould’vewonifshe had her health.”

Mikayla Pittman wasalso a senior at third sin-gles, as was Natalie Dall.Pittman was 11-4 overall,

with Dall mainly handlingnon-league matches anddoubles.

Loveland also featureda sophomore second dou-bles team that finished 7-3(5-0 ECC) in Sophie Green-berg and Paige Smith.

“Last year, I purposelykept a bunch of freshmanon varsity knowing thatwould give them a year ofvarsity experience,”Sharpless said. “It paid outin the long run and we’rehappy about that.”

Greenberg and Smithcould figure into Love-land’s singles plans nextseason with the departureto graduation of Katie Ho-derlein and Pittman.

“All of those girls arelooking to see who’s goingto come up behind Devin(Lally),” Sharpless said.“Hopefully, they try to sur-pass her. That’s what youwantyourplayersshooting

for - for the stars - trying tobe the best player they canbe.”

The rest of the leaguealso returns some youngerplayers as second-placeWalnut Hills and third-place Turpin will haveyouthful racquets movingup.

“Megan Burke of Wal-nut was a nice young play-er,” Sharpless noted. “AlsoKatie Bercz of Turpin. Herbrothers play. They’re agood tennis family. She’sgoing to be tough in the fu-ture.”

The future for theLove-land girls entailsmore ten-nis indoors. Some take pri-vate lessons and the restoccupy the various roof-covered courts aroundtown like Harper’s andFive Seasons.

23, 25-13). When the finalshot from senior LindsayFlaherty hit the floor, thestands cleared and the cel-ebration of the season be-gan – a season that startedwith two straight ECC con-ference losses on the roadto Anderson and Kings.

The season beganwith alittle bit of doubt by many,but there was never anydoubt among the Lovelandplayers. After the first twodivisional losses, the teamrallied around their teamslogans, “Together” and“We Believe.”

Many of the playerseven wrote this reminderon the inside of their wrist

in black ink before everygame. The hard work paidoff as the LadyTigerswenton to win 15 of their next 17matches including 8 ECC

victories to set up the finalshowdown against Kings.

For the seniors, it was aperfectending to theirhighschool volleyball careers.

Bohne figured the favor-itesgoing in tobeDublinJe-rome, the defendingchamp, Dublin Coffman,New Albany and the localMason Comets.

He was correct on threeof those as Jerome won thetitle again, with Coffmanthird and New Albanyfourth. Many good schoolsdon’t evenmake it. St.Xavi-er wasn’t in, nor was Cleve-land St. Ignatius. Again, it’swhen schools peak, accord-ing to Bohne.

“The two best teams thisyear that won probably 90percent of the tournamentswe played in were UpperArlington and PickeringtonNorth and neither one of

themmade it,” he said.What it boils down to is

the mental preparation of ateen-ager. It’s not easy.

“You never know howyour players are going toreact,” Bohne said. “I knowit’s not just another tourna-ment, but to play well, youhavetodothethingsyoudidin the other tournaments.”

He has seen players goboth ways, but never tiresof the experience in Colum-bus. “It never gets old forme,” Bohne said.

Oct. 17 questionHaveyouwatchedandwillyou

watch the presidential and vicepresidential debates? How willthedebatesaffectyourdecisions?

“Yes, I have watched a little ofthe debates. It is a tough thing towatch right before aperson is try-ing to fall asleep at night.

“I am not thrilled with the lackof presidential behavior by bothcandidates. They seem to set onbashing each other and trying toconvince the public that the otherguy is wrong and I am right. Thistype of behavior sums up what iswrong with today's governmentand its leaders.Wehavebecomeanation of red and blue states.Elected officials vote in line withtheirpartynotnecessarilywhat isbest for thenationorwhat thema-jority they represent want. Com-promise is the key. I have been along time admirer of OlympiaSnowe. She said it best, 'Publicservice is a most honorable pur-suit and so is bipartisanship.’”

“I am watching the debates,but I have alreadymademyminduponwhoIwill vote for. I amcuri-ous to see if Obama can debatewithout a teleprompter. In the lastdebate he looked totally lost.”

D.D.

“Yes I have, andyes I shall.My

decision was made years ago todump the socialist poseur presi-dent!”

J.G.

“Yes, I have watched them. Ihave been watching the conductof the president and vice presi-dent since they were installed intheir offices in 2009, so I am quiteaware of why I feel the way I doabout them.

“My mind was made up longago and everything I've seen andheard in the last few months be-cause of the campaign merelyreinforcesmyviews,andthus, thedebates will only affirm my opi-nion.

“Frankly, it surprises me thatanyonewhohasnotbeeninacomafor four years could not havemade up their mind already.”

Bill B.

“I am watching the debates,more out of curiosity than any-

thing else. I already voted forRomney, basically because he atleast has an outside chance of get-ting us out of thismess our econo-myis in. It is inaholeand it ispret-ty clear that Obamawill just keepdigging,withnever-endingspend-ing andmore andmore debt.”

T.H.

“I watched the first two, andthey were certainly eye openers!

“Romney was articulate andinformed with the presence tomake an impressive president,something I haven't seen por-trayed until now.

“Joe Biden looked like a luna-tic, laughing at questions aboutIran, Lebanon and a host of othervery serious topics. I'm guessingthat the Jewish population, bothhere and in Israel, don't find anyof it funny. They're under con-stant threat, andmost likelynevergo to bedat peace.And thisman isone step frombeingpresident in acrisis?

“He was rude, condescending,andshouldbeashamedofhimself.He wasn't even polite to the mod-erator, shaking his finger at herand shouting, and interrupting tothe point that she lost control, notto mention making it very diffi-cult to listen to what Paul Ryanhad to say. It looked like a smokescreen to me.

“What was sad was the factthat I watched with the intention

ofbecomingmore informed,andIwas assaulted with a presidentwho seemed to care less about be-ing there and listening to the an-swers rather than repeating thesame non-relative statementsover and over. Maybe his tele-prompter was missing!”

J.K.

“Yes, I watched the first two. Iwill not watch the rest. I don'tneed too. My decision has beenmade for quite some time and thedebates will not affect my deci-sion. Anyone that is still indeci-sive about how they will votehasn't been paying attention.”

J.S.K.

“I watched the first presiden-tial debate, and I may watch thesecond. It won't affect how I vote.I just watch in incredulous fasci-nation as Mitt Romney tries to liehisway to thepresidencyandpre-sent a tax plan that is mathemat-ically impossible (although may-be using some of the newCaymanIsland math it could work).

“Also, I enjoy watching himplay a sincerely empathetic per-son, especially since if he getselected his policies will help deci-mate the poor, the elderly, veter-ans, students alongwith teachers,police and firemen.

“It is sort of like watching thedevil dress up in a Christian em-pathycostumeforHalloween.En-

tertaining, interesting, yet at thecore, manipulative and evil.”

I.P.

“I've watched most of the pre-vious two debates, but eventhough my mind is already madeup I plan to watch the remainingdebates.

Governmentmismanagement

I refused to be punished bythe irresponsible financial ac-tions of Loveland City Coun-cil.

Why should we taxpayersbear the burden for the un-wise decisions of this councilmajority and city manager?

A council that has overpaid millions of dollars forproperty that continues tohave no development, savefor a farmers market and cir-cus trapeze?

That gave the city man-ageraraiseandbonusafterhesought employment else-where, then proceeded todrive away the LovelandAmazing Race, one of ourcity’s premier charitable andregion’s fun event?

That overspent on salaries,PR consultants, never-endingfrivilous MSD lawsuits andgovernmental perks.

That now has taxpayersfacing a 4 percent to 20 per-cent rate hike in water bills tofund an unnecessary new wa-ter tower, when we have a re-dundant backup water ser-vice contingency agreementwith the city of Cincinnati?

I personally can live withjust a onceyearly leaf pickup.Heck, I can live with no leafpick up at all.

What I cannot and will notsupport is a permanent 25-percent income tax requestby the “spend, spend, spend itall” crowd at city hall.

We taxpayers are requiredto live within our means, ingood times and in bad.

Isn’t it about time for ourself-proclaimed “leaders” todo the same?

Even though we may haveelected them, governmentmismanagement should notfall on the taxpayer to fix.

Especially not by a perma-nent 25 percent tax increase.Throwing more money at theproblem has never been the

solution.Join me with a resounding

no vote on this tax issue.Please don’t be fooled by

those orange and black “yes”signs. This ballot issue is notabout “fire and EMS” as itreads. Fire and EMS is sup-portedby its own levy, not thisincome tax issue nor the gen-eral fund.

Just wait a year or two, afire and EMS levy renewal(which I hope to support) willbe before the voters.

Police academy a giftto community

Loveland is full of sur-prises; I have recently discov-ered another.

The Loveland Citizen's Po-lice Academy is a gift to ourcommunity from the Love-land Police Division. It is a 10-week course planned andscheduled by Officer ChadCaudell.

Many officers volunteertheir time and talent for thisprogram. City governmentand the justice branch arealso represented.

From my participation inthis class I have learned somuch. It is refreshing to meetthe police face-to-face. I ap-preciate the many talents,skills, diversity and quality ofour Police Division.

My thanks to all who madethis experience possible.

History of Symmesparks

Did you know that in 1990Symmes Township did not ac-tually have any developedparkland?

In the late ’80s the trusteesat that time sent out a surveyto find out if the communityhadany interest indevelopingparks and green space in thecommunity.Theresponsewas

very positive.A Park Committee was ap-

pointed and in a couple ofyears resulted in the passageof a five-year two-mill levy in1990.SymmesParkwasdevel-oped and additional greenspacewas acquired. The com-munity had invested in the be-ginnings of a park system inthe township.

In 1994 the communitypassed a five-year, 2-mill re-placement levy for the pur-pose of maintaining the exist-ing parkland and expandingthe park system. In 1999, afive-year 1.85-mill replace-ment levy was passed and in2004 and 2009 the replace-ment levy millage was de-creased with a 1.2-mill re-placement levy and a 1-millreplacement levy.

During this time the com-munity invested in its parksystem and improved thequality of life for everyone. In2007 a special levy of .9 millswasapproved that allowed forthe purchase of property anddevelopment of The Home ofthe Brave Park.

Eight new parks wereopened in the community be-tween1991and 2012. OnNov. 6the community will onceagain have a choice to makeregarding the park systemthey previously invested inand created through the proc-ess of renewing the initialpark levy over the past 22years.

Because Symmes Town-ship is nowat apoint of simplymaintainingall theparkland ithas developed over the years,a continuing levy for themaintenance of the parks wasplaced before the voters. This1-mill replacement levy willprovide the funds needed tomaintain existing parkland.

Regardless of what choicewe make it is important tovote on Nov. 6.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Every election is critically im-portant. As a United States citizen itis our obligation to become in-formed about the issues and candi-dates before we cast our vote.

Issues and candidates impact ourlives. There are endless debates

about citizen’srights and societalobligations, butthere is a deaf-ening silence whenit comes to individ-ual responsibilitiesand personal ac-countability.

What is yourstance on thistopic? You need todecide, because

this is at the core of the politicaldebate raging in the United Statesof America today!

The current political processrewards talented speakers andcharismatic personalities. Superiororatory skills often determine whois elected.

It is our job to listen to “what” issaid rather than just focusing on“how” it is delivered. Ask questionsand check the veracity of candi-dates’ facts before you vote.

What role should the federalgovernment have in the redistribu-tion of your personal assets? Howmuch say should the governmenthave in your personal health care?Can the federal government tell you

how to pursue your religious be-liefs? Should the government be a“partner” in your business or youremployer’s business?

What about the governmentbeing a partner in the businessesyou are competing against? Or,should the government be a centralforce to maintain a level playingfield and stable infrastructure,allowing individual businesses toeither flourish or fail, based upontheir own individual merit?

Currently a tremendous amountof private investment capital issitting on the sidelines. Successfulindividuals ownmuch of this cap-ital.

This powerful economic enginewill only roar to life if there is someassurance of a stable tax environ-ment with incentives to take therisk.

The Liberty Alliance Cincinnatihas more than 500 members. Wemaintain strong relationships withother similar groups in Ohio andaround the country.

Our mission is to educate theelectorate, promote involvement inthe political process and protect andsupport fair and accurate elections.Please join us in our efforts to pre-serve our great country.

The grandkids this yearare excited about Hallow-een. Luke is going to bePac Man, Will is a specialforces soldier, Jack is astormtrooper and Eva isher favorite bird, a blue

macaw.Little Em-erson, 3months,hasn’t“decided”what she’llbe but I’msure MomCourtneywill dressher for theoccasion.

I’ve been experiment-ing with different kinds ofpopcorn balls and amsharing my favorites,along with other fun reci-pes for Halloween.

My favoritedo-ahead crunchyvanillamarshmallowpopcorn balls

Use a natural popcornor one that just containssalt. Out of all my recipes,these are the favorite withboth the kids and adults.They taste like the kind ofgourmet popcorn balls youbuy at the mall. Crunchierthan the recipe for Jell-Opopcorn balls, which is onmy blog, popcorn balls are

good keepers for at least aweek. If you like add somechopped salted nuts, can-dies, etc., do so beforepouring on the coating.

Bring to a boil overmedium heat and stir untilmarshmallows melt:3⁄4 cup light corn syrup1⁄4 cup butter2 teaspoons vanilla22⁄3 cups confectioners’sugar

1 cupmini marshmallowsOrange food coloring(optional)

Set aside:

20 cups popped corn placedin sprayed bowl (I usedthree bags microwavesalted popcorn)

Pour liquid over pop-corn, quickly coatingpopcorn. Spray hands.Form into balls. Storecovered at room temper-ature.

Tips from Rita’s kitch-en

When making anythingthat has a sticky coating,spray everything: thespatula, the bowl, yourhands.

Homemade microwavepopcorn: Put 1⁄4 cup pop-corn in a brown paper bag.Fold top over a few timesand secure. Place foldedside up for 2 to 3 minutesor until there is 5 secondsbetween pops.

Remove unpoppedkernels before makingtreats: Put popped corninto colander and un-popped kernels will sink tothe bottom. That way noone will break a tooth, orworse, by biting intosomething with a hardkernel.

Meat face cheeseball

For the adult party!

Favorite cheese ball recipe,enough to fill mask (checkout my video onmy blogfor a good one)

1 skeleton-like Halloweenface mask

1pound very thinly slicedprosciutto or other delimeat, cut into small pieces

2 slices pimento-stuffedgreen olives

Line mask with plasticwrap. Layer lunch meat allaround. Press cheese ballmixture into mold and

make sure you press firm-ly so that you fill the mold.Refrigerate until firm.Unmold and remove wrap.Place olives in for eyes.Serve with crudités orcrackers.

Easy black catcookies

The kids will have funmaking these. Have themsticking out of a hollowedout pumpkin.

l cup creamy peanut butter1⁄3 cup water2 eggsl box chocolate cakemixPopsicle sticksSugarCandy corn, red hots

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Beat togetherpeanut butter, water andeggs. Add cake mix andblend. Form into l1⁄2-inchballs and place on cookiesheet. Push in a Popsiclestick. Flatten with bottomof glass dipped in sugar.

Pinch two “ears” at top ofcookie. Press fork intodough to form whiskers oneither side of nose. Bakel0-l2 minutes. Removefrom oven and immedi-ately add candy corn eyesand red-hot nose. Makesabout 2-3 dozen.

takes care of the groundsoutside her house. “We paya monthly fee that coversall the mowing, snow re-moval, lawn care, mainte-nance, that type of thing,”Heim said.

While gardening iscovered by a homeownersassociation in a landomini-um, snow removal usuallyis not. That’s normallydone by the city or town-ship. But in this subdivi-sion the roads were notable to be built accordingto code, so they could notbe dedicated and takenover by the township.

“When Ameritek builthere, the road that cameup the hill, it’s not wideenough and the pitch iswrong so it has to be aprivate drive,” Heim said.

The nation’s housingslump left many homebuilders and developers indire financial straits. As aresult, many homeownersfailed to get things theywere promised in theirsubdivisions. That failure

even extends to the streetsin some areas.

Deb Heimmoved intotheMonte Vista subdivi-sion in Green Townshipeight years ago. She has alandominium in which thehomeowners association

In addi-tion, duringthe down-turn in theeconomy,the devel-oper soldthe projectto anothercompanybeforedoing the

final street paving. Thenew company has yet toput on the final coating.There are nine vacant lotsin the subdivision and thenew developer is promis-ing once they are all soldhe’ll have the money topave the streets.

Since this is a privatestreet, the developer wasnot required to post a bond,so there’s no money the

homeowners can go afterin order to pave the roadsthemselves. Heim saidthat’s led to a decrease inthe home values there.

“I know of a family thatwould like to move andthey don’t even put it upfor sale because they knowuntil the roads are fixedit’s going to be tough,”Heim said.

At this point there areseveral patches on thestreets, along with otherareas in dire need of patch-ing.

“The homeowners asso-ciation has had to comethrough every year andmake patchwork on theroads just so they can staypassable,” Heim said.

The cost of puttingdown the final coat of

paving is pegged at around$50,000. The homeownersassociation is now talkingabout a special assessmentto see if they can raise themoney among themselvesto pay for the final paving.

Although this is certain-ly not the way it’s supposedto be in a subdivision, thedeveloper tells me suchprivate roads are not un-usual these days. If you’rein the market for a home,check the roads to makesure you knowwhetherthey are public or private.

Last academic year, 66Xavier University MBAstudents completed a se-mester-long “Doing Busi-ness in the Global Econo-my” course, which re-quired a10- to12-day inter-national study trip.

Students traveled toChina, Hong Kong, Brazil,Argentina, London andGermany,where theycom-

pleted a global market op-portunity analysis, exam-ining the viability of intro-ducing a new product orservice to an internationalmarket.

Twelve students werenominated to participatein the 2012 Best PaperCompetition Aug. 24. Theypresented their work tothree judges from theBoard of Executive Advi-sors of the Center for In-ternational Business atXavier’s Williams Collegeof Business: Dr. Christo-pher Panczyk, programmanager at General Elec-tric, Dr. Vivek Narendranof Cincinnati Children’sHospital Medical Center,and Mr. Phil Foster, vicepresident andchief riskof-ficer of Catholic HealthInitiatives.

Best Paper Award wentto lead professor Mee-Shew Cheung and teammembers Danielle Ham-lyn (45208), Lauren Ka-minsky (45208), SharikaAnderson (45227) and Ca-sey Hamlyn (45208). Their30-minutepresentationad-dressed the global marketopportunity analysis of in-troducing Kraft BarbecueSauce to China.

Runners-up were: Lau-renKinker (45236),AllisonPozega (45044), StephanieSalak (45246) and ScottTungseth (45220), and lead
