LOVELAND — Letters willsoon be arriving in Lovelandmailboxes offering residents
the option to buy energy andnatural gas collectively to saveon monthly bills.
“There are anywhere from2,500 to 3,000 natural gas ac-counts in Loveland,” said CoreySchmidt, Loveland manage-ment analyst. “And close to4,000 electric accounts.”
When the city reached out toIndianHill and Symmes,MiamiandSpringfield townships, it re-
ceived universal reports of sav-ings, Schmidt said.
Residents with electric ac-counts will be enrolled withFirst Energy Solutions unlessthey are in a contract with an-other company, and natural gaswill come from IGS Energy, ac-cording to a memo from CityManager Tom Carroll.
The aggregation comes fromtwo separate companies, so res-
idents will receive two letterswithin about a week explainingthe aggregation program andopt-out option. Usually about 90percent of residents stay in ag-gregation programs, accordingto neighboring municipalitiesSchmidt spoke with.
Thereasonfor joiningtheag-gregation is so residents canpurchase gas and electric inbulk, therefore getting a better
rate. The electric rate, accord-ing to amemo fromCarroll, willbe 5.274 cents per kilowatt hourthrough First Energy Solutionsfor 36 months – the current“Price to Compare” ratethrough Duke Energy is 6.14cents per kilowatt hour.

MIAMI TWP. — A MiamiTownship fire engine wasstruck by a car Oct. 12 andrendered useless. A replace-ment is expected to be or-dered soon.
“It is kind of a blessing indisguise,” said James Whit-worth,firechief.“Itputsusinagood position with our fleet.”
The township will pur-chase an new engine for$486,000, and all but $35,000will be covered by the insur-ance settlement from the to-taled truck, the chief said.
The township’s cost will beoffset by the sale of one of theoldest enginesat thecentral sta-tiononMcPickenDrive,hesaid.
“(This truck) was actuallythe first engine I boughtwhenI got here in1993,”Whitworthsaid. “It’s got a lot of framerust, which is not good be-cause ofhowmuch itweighs.”
Whitworth doesn’t thinkthe old truck will bring inmuch money.
“It’s not going to get$35,000,” he said. “If we get$10,000, I’ll be pleased.”
TheMiamiTownship trust-ees were expected to approvethe order at theApril16meet-ing. Whitworth said the orderis being placed quicker thanusual because thedepartmentalreadypurchased twonearlyidentical trucks in December,whichwill arrive at the end ofthe year. The new truck isidentical to one of the trucks
on order.Thecost of those two trucks
totaled almost $1million.“That money is coming
from our TIF (tax incrementfinancing) funds,” said LarryFronk, township administra-tor. “We actually issued a $1-million bond to purchase thetwo trucks and will use theTIF money to pay it back.”
The township last bought atruck in 2002, and since then,changes in EPA emission andfire apparatus standards havedriven costs up, the chief saidin a packet of information pro-vided to the township trustees.
“They were definitelyneeded,” Fronk said. “Thetruck that was in the accidentwasactually oneof the twowewere going to replace. Sowe’re getting three trucks in-stead of two.”
The townshipwon’t have toorder a new truck until 2018,Whitworth said, noting with-out the insurance settlementthe township needed to ordera new engine in 2015.
Oncethetrucksarrive, itwilltake about two months to pre-pare them for use, he said, be-causeofthetimeittakestocom-partmentalize the equipmentand optimize available space.
“When you talk abouttrucks that are 20 or 30 yearsold they’re prettymuch at theend of their life,” Whitworthsaid. “The down time andmaintenance time becomeslonger as trucks get older,which is bad because re-sponse time is crucial for us.”

The city reached outto neighboring commu-nities in July and re-ceived positive feed-back on the savings ag-gregation offered resi-dents.

Harold Eberenz,president of the SymmesTownship Historical So-ciety, said the house at11887 Lebanon Road willopen again May 4. Any-one can come visit the
log house and grounds onthe first and third week-ends of each month fromMay to September from1p.m. to 3 p.m. He saidthat because the histori-cal society is small, thereare not enough volun-teers to open the housemore often. However, hesaid, those who wish tovisit, such as schoolgroups, can call the his-
torical society and re-serve a time.
On that first weekend,a blacksmith will outsidethe log house for demon-strations of making ironparts, such as horse-shoes and shepherd’shooks. Eberenz said thesociety is hoping for agood crowd at its sum-mer kickoff, and thatthey’ll return again later

Former U.S. Rep. JeanSchmidt of Miami Town-ship finished the BostonMarathon a few minutesbefore hearing an explo-sion near the finish linewhere shewaswaiting forher sister to cross.
“I’ve never been soclose to death or wit-nessed it,” Schmidt saidvia cell phone about 5:15p.m. Monday, April 15.
She had just finished“one of my best racesever” and had borrowed acell phone to tell her hus-band, Peter.
Soon after, she heard a“boom” and saw people“without limbs” beingtaken to the medical tentjust past the finish line.She had turned to run
away, butimmediate-ly turnedback to gether twinsister, Jen-nifer Blackof MiamiTownship.Emergen-
cypersonnel toldher togointo her nearby hotel.
At 5:15 p.m., neitherSchmidt or Black hadbeen able to find theircousin, Kathleen Fussin-ger, who was running be-tween themon the course.
Schmidt was told to goto her hotel.
At the same time,Black was sitting on astreet corner outside thehotel because officialswould not let her insidewhen shewas reached viacell phone.
Black had run to the25.4-mile point when therace was stopped. Shesaid she was OK.
Strangers immediate-ly began helping runners.One let her use his bath-room in his nearby apart-ment. Another strangerofferedherabagel. Some-one offered her a bananaas she talked on thephone. Another offered ablanket because afterrunningmost of themara-thon and then stoppingsuddenly, she was “freez-ing.”
“The kindness ofstrangers ... is absolutelyoverwhelming,” she said.
“We are just runnersand normal human be-ings. I don’t know who isresponsible, but we arejust runners.Wecameouttodoourbest andsome id-
iot came to hurt innocentpeople,” Black said.“When I think of all thosewho are injured ... theymay not run again. It’s un-conscionable.”
She said thousandswere not able to finish therace.
Schmidt also washelped by strangers, es-pecially young volunteershelping at the race. Onelet her use his phone tomake a second call to herhusband to let him knowshe was OK after the ex-plosion.
“It was just wonder-ful,” she said.

Miami Township wasawarded $214,470 by theU.S. Department ofHomeland Security’s As-sistance to Fire FightersGrant Program for thepurchase of self-con-tained breathing appara-tus (SCBA).
Miami Township Fireand EMS received tele-phone notifications fromthe offices ofU.S. SenatorRob Portman and U.S.Rep.BradWenstrup inad-vance of the award noticefrom the Department ofHomeland Security.
The grant award willallow the department toreplace SCBA that are inexcess of 10 years old andthat do not meet current
national standards gov-erning SCBA.
“This is theair tankandmask worn by firefight-ers that provides themwith breathing air whenoperating in smoky andother hostile environ-ments. Their lives liter-ally depend on these de-vices,” said Chief JimWhitworth. “The depart-ment was faced with hav-ing to replace the currentSCBAdue to their age andincreasing frequency ofrepair. The grant awardwill allow that to happenand limit the depart-ment’s expense to lessthan $60,000.”
The Assistance to FireFighters Grant Program,
created in 2001, is a com-petitive grant programdesigned tohelp firefight-ers and other first re-sponders obtain critical-ly-needed equipment,protective gear, emergen-cy vehicles, training andother resources to protectthe public and emergencypersonnel from fire andrelatedhazards.Congressappropriated $337.5 mil-lion for the 2012 grant cy-cle.

Madeira Historical So-cietymember and formerCouncilman Doug Oppen-heimer says the way Ma-deira officials negotiatedwith the developer ismore cloak and daggerthan business conductedin the best interest of thecity’s citizens.
“I am angry that mycouncil members havecompletely ignored thedesires, hopes and futureof the existing five busi-nesses located on Miamiand Railroad avenues,while feathering the nest
for the lone group desir-ing to build a new restau-rantoncityownedproper-ty,”Oppenheimersaid inaspeech to council March25.
The city, Oppenheimersaid, sought only one pro-posal for the land, contra-dicting a previouslypassed ordinance. Oppen-heimer hoped the citywould shelve the ordi-nance and invite furtherpublic discourse, butcouncil unanimouslypassed it.

MADEIRA—Thenegoti-ation to put a Paxton’sGrill in Madeira movedforward, but not withoutresidentsquestioningMa-deira City Council’s mo-tives and lack of transpar-ency in the process.
For more than twoyears, Madeira officialshave been in discussions
with theownerofPaxton’sGrill in Loveland, aboutpotential development ofthe lot across from ChooChoo’s Restaurant at theintersection of Railroadand Miami avenues. Thelot has two historic homesrented by small business-es, and the city is hopingto sell the site fordevelop-ment.
City Manager TomMoeller says the revenuegeneratedfromthesaleofthe properties will helpcover the cost of main-taining the structures – acurrent net loss to the city– as well as give residentsa family restaurant.
“We generate about$36,000 per year in rentfor those properties, butthe upkeep expenses arebetween $55,000 and$60,000 meaning we haveto transfer about $20,000
said the move will notharm her business, butshe would thinks the cityisn’t utilizing the full po-tential of the space.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity todevelop, so let’s makesure we come up with thevery best use of thatland,” Parker said. “It’snot just some piece ofland, it’s the lone remain-ing, truly charming partof our downtown.”
City officials are miss-ing a great opportunity todo something unique,Parker said, thatwould al-low the historic buildingsto stay in place and con-tinue to grow economicdevelopment in the down-town area. Parker hopestomakeherbusiness ana-tional brand headquar-tered in Madeira.
“There are lots of an-

By passing ordinance13-15, Madeira council au-thorized exclusive negoti-ating rights to the lot forthe next 60 days with anoption to extend another60 if the developer sochooses.

Marth named Newman Civic FellowPresidents of universities
across the country nominated181 college student leaders forthe 2013 class of Newman Civ-ic Fellows.
These students demon-strate personal commitmentto creating lasting change forbetterment of their communi-ties. Through service, commu-nity-based research, and advo-cacy, the members of the 2013class are making the most oftheir college experiences tobetter understand themselvesand the root causes of some ofthe most pressing social is-
sues.One of the
winners is a stu-dent at XavierUniversity.Meghan Marthof SymmesTownship, a ju-nior in the poli-tics, philosophy
and thepublic honors programat Xavier University, sees ac-cess to education as a global is-sue.
Her involvement with Uni-fied for UNIFAT began in highschool where she helped raise
more than $60,000 in fouryears to pay expenses for 120children to attend the UpperNile Institute for AppropriateTechnology (UNIFAT) in thewar-torn region of Uganda.
Marth supports the educa-tion of Northern Ugandan stu-dents by empowering theirAmerican counterpartsthrough public policy advoca-cy and fundraising. Followingtrips to the UNIFAT School inGulu during the summers of2008 and 2010, Marth formedand led the first chapter at Xa-vier University in 2011 and
serves on the board of direc-tors for the non-profit
As the recipient of a four-year Community Engaged Fel-lowship at Xavier, Marth con-tinues to immerse herselfabroad and domesticallythrough her weekly servicecommitment. She embodiesthe Ignatian tenet of cura per-sonalis and strives to be of ser-vice for others in all ways.
As a Newman Civic Fellow,Marth will join a network ofFellows around the country.Together Fellows will lever-age an even greater capacity
for service and change, andwill continue to set examplesfor their classmates and oth-ers.
“Meghan is emblematic ofour next generation of commu-nity service practitioners,”said Sean Rhiney, director ofXavier’s Eigel Center forCom-munity-Engaged Learning.“Her passion and focus on ac-cess to education for youth hasboth international and domes-tic outcomes, from Uganda toOhio. Shewillmake themost ofher inclusion in this importantFellowship community.”

“In the end, we decided togivethemoneyto theFreedomCenter because it’s right herein Cincinnati, and because itdoes so much to educate peo-ple about all kinds of slavery,”said junior Nia Blasingame ofWest Chester Township.
They delivered a check for$177.03 to theFreedomCenter.
Executive Director KimRobinson told the studentsthat Country Day is the firstschool that raised money tosupport the center. More im-portantly, he added, the stu-dents tookaction tomakeadif-ference in their world, espe-cially regarding modernforms of slavery.
“We appreciate the work ofthe Cincinnati Country Daystudents for raising supportfor the Freedom Center, andwe appreciate the work oftheir teachers, who are teach-ing life lessons inside and out-side the classroom,” Robinsonsaid. “This donation means asmuch as any large donation. Itdemonstrates young peoplecaring about their communi-ty.”
Deborah Floyd, UpperSchool English teacher anddean of service learning, said,“This was a great experiencefor our students. The re-search, in-class presentationsandsubsequentdisplaypostedin the student commonshelped these 15 students toraise the profile of this criti-cally important issue withinthe larger school communityand beyond. These remark-able young men and womenreally are the new abolition-ists.”
Students fromFredCarey’sEnglish class at CincinnatiCountry Day School did re-search based on the “SlaveryToday” exhibit at the NationalUnderground Railroad Free-domCenter. They also saw theslave pen and the “WomenHold UpHalf the Sky” exhibitduring their recent visit.
“Thiswasanattempt to linkthe 11th-grade English curri-culum to one portion of theschool’s mission of ‘Service toOthers,’ said Carey, UpperSchool English teacher andsenior dean of students.
“We were finishing up theFrederick Douglass narrativeand, in conjunction with thatwork, I asked my students todo research on the differentformsofslavery that still existtoday,” Carey said. “The re-search phase of the projecttookmy students inmany pro-ductive directions and helpedthem to understand that slav-erydidnot simplyendwith theEmancipation Proclamation.”
Studentswerecompelled todo more.
“It didn’t feel like enough tojust learn about slavery today;we wanted to do somethingabout slavery today,” said ju-nior Omar Mustafa of Love-land.
And so, students organizeda bake sale to raisemoney thatcould be given to one of themany national and interna-tional organizations engagedin the struggle against slaveryand oppression.

LOVELAND — Through theearly portion of the baseballseason, the only “L” the Tigershave left Dave Evans Fieldwith has been on their caps, forthe most part.
Loveland enters May in atight race for the Eastern Cin-cinnati Conference title. Theirlast league championship wasin 2008 when they finished in afour-way tie with Anderson,Glen Este andMilford.
The 2013 results have pleas-antly surprised Loveland’sleader.
“We’ve pitched extremelywell,” coach Ken Reed said.“Guys are doing their jobs. Ididn’t expect us to be this good,but I expected us to compete.It’s beena little bit better than Ianticipated.”
On the hill, Loveland hasbeen led by senior Bryce Plittand junior Brian Bullock. Plitt
has earned a walk-on invite toXavier and has been a main-stay for three seasons.
“He’s been throwing for usfor a long time and he’s reallyblossoming,” Reed said.
Plitt and Bullock have beena tough combination in leaguegames, with junior Jacob Wag-oner closing games out. Wag-oner’s innings will soon rise.
“We’re going to need to gowith JacobWagoner in thenextcouple of weeks because of allof the cancellations,” Reedsaid. “We’re going to needthree starters. Nolan Snyderwill also start a couple ofgames.”
Helping the Tigers keep alow teamERA is junior catcherDarren Sackett. His youngerbrother, Chris, is also a catcherwho has contributed at otherpositions and offensively.
“Darren’s done an extreme-ly good job behind the plate,”Reed said. “His batting aver-age doesn’t equate to how well
he’s been playing. Chris Sack-ett’s been hitting for us anddriving in a lot of runs.”
SeniorsGrahamDavid,Aar-onMalloyandRyneTerryhavealso been reliable hitters withthird baseman Terry’s averageup nearly 200 points from ayear ago.
Up the middle, junior ReidWaddell has been getting onbase, playing good defense andknocking in runs. The short-stop is among the team leadersin nearly every category. Win-ners of 20 games in 2012, the2013 Tigers should also reachthat mark.
A bigger milestone shouldbe reached soon. “We’re alsoapproaching 700 wins for theprogram,” Reed said. “I’vebeen trying really hard the lastcouple of years to get our cur-rent guys tied in with the pro-gram. When Coach (Dave) Ev-ans was here they were win-ning titles and winning 20games without any doubt.”

The trustees unanimouslyappointed me as the new fiscal
officer. Because of my experi-ence as the assistant fiscal offi-cer for the past 24 years (andworking with John for 20 ofthose years), my transition tofiscal officerwasseamlessand Iam fully committed to continu-ing our township’s tradition offiscally conservative financialcontrol. As in the past, Iwill con-tinue to handle the daily finan-cial operations and to provideassistance to the community.
I hope youwill join usMay10to celebrate John’s retirement.A reception is planned at theSafety Center, 8871 Weekly,from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. See thetownship website for more de-tails

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
April 24 questionHas the bombing at the Boston
Marathon made you rethinkwhich public events you will at-tend?Why or why not?
“No. I will go to same eventsas I always domaybe just a littlemore alert. Complete safety isan illusion.”
K.S.
“On my mind, yes! This willnot change my attending anyopenpubliceventsbecause Icanbe assured tighter security willalwaysprevail.Everattendapo-litical rally? I don’t mind thattype of security!”
O.H.R.
“Absolutely not. If one wouldlook at the threat of terrorismversus ‘normal’ gun violence inthis country, you are far morelikely to be shot and killed bysomeone you know.
“People have to get these ran-dom acts in perspective. Theyare bad, but the chances of everbeing a victim are so minisculethat it is not in your interest toworry about.”
J.Z.
“Life is full of nasty sur-prises, like a concert stage fall-ing on you or an elderly driverhitting the gas instead of thebrake and driving into a crowdor oversized cargo hitting ahighway bridge and falling onyour car.
“The bombing is no different.Stuffhappens to innocentpeoplethrough no fault of their own.Youcan live inacaveandbesafe(unless there is a bear in there)or enjoy life and endure the un-likely events that put youat risk.
“Ivote for live lifeandbehap-py. Some of us will die in theprocess. It is inevitable.”
F.S.D.
“Thelast thingwewouldwantis for the terrorists to inhibit ourfreedomsandchange ourwayoflife. So no, I won’t change myhabits with regard to attendingpublic events.
“As a concealed carry permitholder, I carry my firearm ev-erywhere Iamlegallyallowed todo so. Although this wouldn’thave protected me from a bombsuch as this, it does enhance mypersonal safetyandsecurityandallows me to walk the streetswithout fear.”
R.W.J.
“I have been to seven BostonMarathons. The idiots whobombed Boston made my re-solve more to attend largeevents that I want to see.
“This is America where free-dom to chose is paramount.Those who become afraid be-cause of this are too ingrained infear. They listen toomuch to thetalking heads – they don’t godowntown because they hear ofa murder.
“Do not become paranoid be-cause of this. Stand up and bepart of America.”
W.B.
“The Boston situation suremademedoa lot thinking. I can’tbelieve some of the things thatare happening in our country.
“We all need to stress morerespect in schools and encour-age parents to take more inter-est in their chilldren and inwhatour young ones are doing, botheducationally and also sociallife. Encourage strength of fam-ily values.”
E.S.
“Not in the slightest! Noblanking terrorist can make mechange my life!”
J.K.
“The bombings in Bostonwillnot change the way I go aboutmy daily business, but on theother hand Iwill paymore atten-tion to the people around me.
“You can call it profiling, andthatmay bewhat it is, but that iswhat I am going to do.”
Dave D.“The bombing at the Boston
Marathon has not made me re-think which public events I’ll at-tend. There is no way we can becompletely protected from any-thing and anyone who mightwant to do us harm. Such is life.
“Not one of us knows whenwe’ll ‘be called home.’ I try tolive my life morally and I try tomake sure the people I loveknow it.”
M.K.T
“It might. The only largegroups in public places I fre-quent are Fountain Square andPaul Brown Stadium for Bengalhome games. Fromnow on Iwillkeep an eye out for people orthings that seem out of place.”

MoellerHighSchool rulesre-quire students to shave facialhair for class, but not for 87 stu-dents during the month ofMarch.
Students were allowed togrow various styles of facialhair for a fundraiser to benefitDanny O’Keefe of SymmesTownshipandhis family. InMay2011, O’Keefe stepped in whenhis sister’s ex-boyfriend at-tacked her. Both were stabbedand beaten, but survived. Henow suffers from aphasia,which is the disorder that for-mer U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Gif-fords was diagnosed with afterbeing shot.
As a result, O’Keefe has beenundergoing speech, occupation-al and physical therapy at theUniversity of Michigan in AnnArbor, but it’s a slow and expen-sive process. Various fundrais-ers havebeen raisingmoney forthe O’Keefes formonths to help
fund his therapy, but it’s notover.
“There’s a push to raisemon-ey forDanny,” saidKevinBuck-ley, an English teacher atMoell-er and a longtime friend ofO’Keefe’s. “Bottom line, he’spart of theMoeller family.”
Moeller students saw thatthey hadn’t done a lot to help thefamily. School captain HarryWahlofMadeirasaidtheydecid-edtoborrowfromotherschools’ideas of a “Mustache March”competition, where studentsgrowfacialhairanddetermineawinner at the end of the month.Instead they renamed it “Marchfor Danny.”
Throughout the month,Moeller changed their schoolrule students to grow facial hair
so they could raisemoney to do-nate to the O’Keefe family.School Vice Captain ChrisWright of Madeira said theevent was about raising aware-ness foraphasia aswell.Headd-ed that while having a bearddrewsome looks, it alsoprompt-ed questions, which led to theiranswers.
“When you see people walk-ingaroundwithbeardswhonor-mally aren’t, people ask, ‘Oh,why are you doing that?’” Wahl
said. “It was a good way tospread the word a little bitmore.”

I’ve thought this through.When I chose to move to Deupree House in 2009 I didn’t make that important decision based on
some “special deal”. I made it because living at Deupree House is the real deal. An incredible staff,
over 60 years of experience, and I’ll never be asked to leave for financial reasons. After all,
when you’re looking for value over the long term, you get what you pay for.

It was during a cookingclass on Derby Day favoritesthat the question came upabout which mint is the best
for juleps. I usespearmint sinceit’s sweeter thanpeppermint.And I make asimple syrupout of water,sugar and mintleaves. Thesyrup is notonly good formint juleps butis so tasty in
other chilled drinks.I’ve shared the recipe for
juleps along with my clone ofKentucky Derby pie (even thename is copyrighted!) before,but for those of you who don’thave the recipes, check outmy blog for both.
Guru in our backyardCheri Brinkman is an ad-
venturous cook who is knownin the Midwest for her well-researched, local recipes.Brinkman is a historical foodwriter who loves Cincinnatias well as the food and folklore surrounding it. The latestbook in her Cincinnati andSoup series is “Cincinnati andSoup: Festivals and Frolics”(Macguffin Productions, $22),which traces the history ofboth Cincinnati and NorthernKentucky festivals.
There are authentic reci-pes to go along with the sto-ries (and Brinkman is a spell-binding story teller). You’llfind recipes for Oktoberfest,Italian Fest, Maifest and ofcourse, Goetta Fest. This bookwould be the perfect gift withMother’s Day coming up. Iasked Brinkman to share afavorite.
“It is hard to pick just onerecipe but I love attending theannual Blues and BarbecueFestival in Lebanon, so here’san easy barbecue sauce reci-pe from it. It won’t have you‘singing the blues’,” she said.

Aaron Sanchez’s Mexicanbrownies
Cinco de Mayo is May 5. Iinterviewed Aaron during avisit he made to Cincinnati’sFox 19. He is not only an ac-complished chef, but a reallynice person. The cinnamonand chili powder are whatmake these Mexican.
1 cup all-purpose flour1 teaspoon groundMexicancinnamon (cannel, see tip)
1⁄4teaspoon pequin chili powder orcayenne pepper
1⁄2teaspoon kosher salt1⁄2teaspoon baking powder
Preheat the oven to 350degrees. Line a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish with parch-ment paper, leaving an over-hang on two sides. Press thepaper into the corners of thepan and lightly grease thepaper with butter.
Melt the two sticks of but-ter in a nonstick saucepanover medium-low heat; do notboil. Remove from the heatand let cool slightly. Add thesugar, eggs and vanilla to thesaucepan, and stir with awooden spoon until combined.
Add the cocoa, flour, cinna-mon, chili powder, salt andbaking powder and mix untilsmooth. Spread the batter inthe prepared pan and bakeuntil a toothpick inserted inthe middle comes out fudgy,20 to 25 minutes. Cool in thepan on a rack, then use theparchment paper to lift outthe brownies before slicing.Makes 18.

Armstrong ChapelUnited MethodistChurch is continuing itsnearly 20-year partner-shipwith InterfaithHos-pitality Network to as-sist the less fortunate.
Interfaith Hospital-ity Network assists thehomeless by helpingthem create a plan tofind permanent housingand employment. Whilethe less fortunate spendthe night at localchurches, they spendtheir day at the group’sday center, where theytake classes on budget-ing, connect with socialservice agencies and
seek employment.After a full day with
Interfaith HospitalityNetwork, families arebused back to a localchurch, like ArmstrongChapel.
The church hostsfamilies four times eachyear. During their stays,church volunteers cookmeals for the familiesand stay overnight forthe week.
Shannon Mills, Arm-strong member, said thechurch continues to sup-port the program be-cause it gives back tothose less fortunate.Mills said she remainsinvolved because of theinteractions with thefamilies who stay at
Armstrong.“If I know I can give
some love and somefriendship to someonewho has not had any loveor attention for awhile…that’s what warms myheart,” Mills said.
Loveland residentBarb Smith and her hus-band, Bob, are volun-teers from EpiphanyUnited Methodist, butused to volunteer withthe program as Arm-strong members.
She’s part of a groupcalled “Love in Action”at the Loveland-basedchurch that preparesmeals for the families,eats with them andspends time socializingthroughout one evening
each week with the fam-ilies.

The Emergency Ser-vices Unit of the Love-land-Symmes Fire De-partment received theOhio Fire Corps Awardof Excellence and theNational Fire CorpsHonorable Mention Sat-urday, March 16, at theOhio Fire Corps Confer-ence.
Lt. Jim Hellyer of theESU received the Ohioaward fromCandiceMc-Donald, the Ohio FireCorps State Advocateand the national awardfrom Sara Lee, the depu-tydirector of theNation-al Volunteer Fire Coun-cil and Director of theFire Corps. The OhioFire Corps Conferencewas at theMohican StatePark Lodge & Confer-ence Center.
The Fire Corps is thekey component of Citi-zen Corps that supportsand supplements re-source-constrained fireand emergency medicalservices through the useof citizen advocates fordepartmental activities.There are 1,347 FireCorps units nationallyand approximately 40units in Ohio, with theLoveland-Symmes FireDepartment unit beingunique.
The Loveland-Symmes Fire Depart-ment’s ESU providessupplemental operation-al and administrative as-sistance specifically inthe area of fire, disaster,and related emergencyservices. It ismadeup of14 volunteers from thecommunity that wantedto serve their communi-ty and the fire depart-ment.
The unit was estab-lished in 2005 born fromideas in the departmentstrategic planning ses-sion from Fire Chief Ot-to Huber. It was basedupon the Federal Com-
munity Emergency Re-sponse Team and FireCorps. The program,which is directed byDeputy Fire Chief BillyGoldfeder and Hellyer,took it a step further.
According to Huber,“ESU members maychoose to be assigned toa duty crew at a fire-house andparticipate di-rectly in emergency re-sponse activities alongwith the on-duty, regularfirefighters.”
ESU members arealso subject to regularemergency “call out” toassist in specific situa-tions as needed, whichinclude assisting on fireand emergency calls,performing traffic con-trol at events and inci-dents, and providing di-saster support servicessuch as flood and windstorm response. This isin addition to supportingmany communityevents. This frees thedepartment’s profes-sional firefighters andmedics to concentratetheir efforts on provid-ing the best possiblecare and services to thecommunity.
The ESU also helpsmaintain the fire depart-ment’s Homeland Secu-rity’s Mass CasualtyUnit and provide muchof the planning andtraining for the CitizensFire Academy, which of-fers citizens within the
community the opportu-nity to learn more abouttheir fire department. Itwas the expanded rolesof the department’s ESUthat helped them standout in Ohio-and the na-tion- and earned themthe recognition for theawards.
Huber emphasizedthat “our volunteermembers do some seri-ous and important work.Those who have joinedhave learned that theygain at least as much asthey contribute. If notfor the dedication of ourresidents and the finan-cial support of the Town-ship Board of Trusteesand the City Council,this program would notbe possible.”
