LOVELAND — Loveland lead-ers said they would be forced tomake severe budget cuts if vot-ersdidnot approvean income taxrate hike on the Nov. 6 ballot.Now, they are making good onthat assertion.

Hours after Loveland resi-dents defeated a proposal to in-crease the city’s income-tax ratefrom 1 percent to 1.25 percent,Mayor Rob Weisgerber said theFinance Committee would meetNov. 8 to review cuts it will some-time in the future recommend toLoveland City Council.

“I am very disheartened bythe outcome of the election,”Weisgerber said of the vote byLoveland residents in Hamilton,Clermont and Warren counties,which totaled 3,592 (58 percent)against the proposed income-taxrate hike and 2,556 (42 percent)for it.

“We made every effort to layout the choice for the communitybetween taxes to pay for servicesor service cuts to make this acommunity choice.

“We have and will continue tooperate with a balanced budget,so (Nov. 8) at the Finance Com-mittee meeting the budget cutswill be reviewed for 2013 and theadded cuts in 2014 will be re-

LOVELAND — Loveland CityCouncil scheduled a publichearing Tuesday, Nov. 13, onwhether to seek$400,000worthof federal grants to test somecity-owned property on Chest-nut Street andother land slatedfor redevelopment for contam-inants.

The hearing was at city hallon West Loveland Avenue.

Assistant Loveland CityManager Gary Vidmar told theLoveland City Council at itsOct. 23 meeting that he wasasking it to apply for two U.S.Environmental ProtectionAgency communitywide as-sessment grants – including a$200,000 grant for hazardoussubstances and a $200,000grant for petroleum contami-nation – at the recommenda-tion of an engineer workingwith the city.

“Essentially we’re askingfor the maximum,” Vidmarsaid.

“We may not need it, but incase we identify both petro-leum as well as other hazard-ous materials we would havethe funds available to identifyboth through that testing.”

Areas to be tested would in-clude some portions of Chest-nut Street, Loveland-MadeiraRoad and Kemper Road thatLoveland is eyeing for poten-tial commercial and/or resi-dential development.

Loveland ViceMayor DavidBednarasked, “Other thanvastamounts of silver nitrate (in

the ChestnutStreet area),have we foundanything else insamples thatwe’ve taken?”

Said Vidmar,“There’s achemical com-pound that

we’ve discovered that is overthe limit for residential devel-opment, and the determinationhas been made that in all prob-ability that hazardousmaterialhas come from outside theproperty.

“Soweneed to do someaddi-tional testing first to deter-mine where that source of ma-terial is.

“And that’s whywe’re goingfor a community-wide grantrather than a site-specificgrant - so thatwe can enter oth-er properties to determine thesource of that compound,” Vid-mar said.

Vidmarwas referring to tet-rachloroethane, a solvent usedin dry cleaning and to degreasemetals,whichwasdetected inaprevious groundwater test onChestnut Street.

In response to a question byLoveland City CouncilwomanPaulette Leeper, Vidmar saidthe city has no indication ofother hazardous substances orpetroleum contamination inthe redevelopment areas.

Many Symmes Town-ship voters agreed on twothings: the importance ofthe presidential race, andsupport for the township’spark levy.

While there arewere-other issues on the ballot,such as state issues1, 2 and4, many Symmes voterssaid the race between

President Barack Obamaand Gov. Mitt Romney wasamajor reason, aside fromthe importance of voting ingeneral, that they headedto the polls Nov. 6.

Resident Steve Snidersaid as he walked into hispolling location at Montgo-mery Community Church,11251 Montgomery Road,that he was still confusedabout who he was going tovote for, but that the “prop-aganda turns me off to

vote” for certain candi-dates.

“I think Obama inheri-ted a lot of crap four yearsago,” he said. “... I thinktypical issues, such asabortion or the economy,are what candidates focuson, but that’s not what it’sall about.”

Another resident, MikeDonnelly, wanted to makesure his vote for who winsthe presidency counts, be-cause he thinks “everyone

needs to be heard.”Both Snider and Don-

nelly said they supportedSymmes Township’s parklevy because maintenancefor them is important toboth themselves and theirfamilies. New Symmesresident Sara Muñozagreed.

Muñoz, a Columbus na-tive who returned to Ohioin August from New Jer-sey, said that supportingthe levy was important toher because she and herfamily enjoy the town-ship’s parks.

“There are awesomeparks here,” she said. “Wewere paying more in taxeson the East coast for onesthere that weren’t as niceas these.”

Symmes Township’spark levy renewal passedwith a 58 percent approval.Board of Trustees Presi-dent Jodie Leis said she’shappy Symmes residentsvalue the parks enough topass the levy to maintainthem.

viewed later in the proc-ess,” Weisgerber said.

“Reduced safety per-sonnel, public works andcity hall staff will be mini-mized the best we can, butheadcount reduction is notavoidable.

“Items that define com-munity character will beeliminated, like beautifica-tion, city-sponsored eventsand parades,” Weisgerbersaid.

“Unfortunately, our in-frastructure spending forroad maintenance, snowremoval, etc. will be re-

duced to unsustainable lev-els resulting in deferredmaintenance.”

Weisgerber, ViceMayorDave Bednar and citycouncil members LindaCox, Paulette Leeper andBrent Zuch voted to placethe proposed income-taxrate hike on the ballotlargely because of cuts instate appropriations.

Those cuts include theelimination of the estateand tangible personal-property taxes and the re-duction and the phase-outby 2014 of the state LocalGovernment Fund.

Council members MarkFitzgerald and Angie Set-tell voted against puttingthe proposed income-tax

rate hike on the ballot be-cause it would have beenpermanent as opposed tocontaining an expirationdate.

Loveland already hasmade budget cuts to closehalf of a $1.1million gener-al-fund deficit the city ex-pects to have in 2014.

If the additional 0.25-percent increase in Love-land’s income-tax rate —which has not changedsince it was instituted in1967 – would have been ap-proved, it would haveraised a projected $850,000a year for the city’s generalfund.

Leeper thanked Love-land residents who workedto pass the income-tax ratehike, calling the loss “atough blow to our city.”

“I greeted this new dayknowing in my heart thatwe put forth a good andhonest campaign and nowthe people have spoken,”Leeper said.

“It was a tough sell intough economic times andthe election results bearthis out.

“People are strapped,

money is tight and overalleconomic uncertaintydrove the vote against tax-es,” Leeper said.

“That the campaign forLoveland’s future lost onlyby a 58-42margin is a testi-mony to the steep pitch ofthis uphill battle.”

Voting was brisk inLoveland precincts Nov. 6.

Poll workers at a pre-cinct in Loveland city hallsaid about half of the 300registeredvoters therehadcast ballots by about 1:30p.m. Election Day.

Presiding judge LindaDaugherty of Lovelandsaid both the presidentialelection and the city in-come-tax initiative on theballot probably contribut-ed to the high turnout.

Speaking outside cityhall Nov. 6, Loveland resi-dent Gary Stouder said hevoted for the income-taxrate hike even though hewished the proposed hike,if approved,would last fiveyears instead of perma-nently.

“We need the funding,”Stouder said.

“That’s the bottom line.”

Loveland resident BillPohl said Nov. 6 that he didnot vote for the rate hikewhen he cast his ballot atcity hall because he wouldrather the city had tried toraise money by no longercrediting Loveland resi-dentswhowork inothercit-ies with income taxes theypay to those other cities.

“If you live in Lovelandand get Loveland services,they shouldn’t let you offthe hook,” he said.

Pohl wasn’t impressedthat Loveland City Councilused focus groups to comeup with a way to increaserevenue.

“We don’t elect focusgroups to govern,” he said.

“Ifyoucan’tgovern,youshould get out.”

Pohl also said he nor-mallywould have voted forMittRomneyforpresident,but voted for LibertariancandidateGaryJohnson in-stead tosendRepublicansamessage.

Pohl said the Republi-can Party is too dominatedby the beliefs of right-wingChristians and “(PresidentBarack) Obama is just

wrong.”A Loveland business-

man and a Loveland resi-dent wanted to discuss theimportanceofvotingNov.6instead of candidates andissues.

“I vote all the time be-cause the country needsme,” Steven Waters ofBrown County said as hecut hair at Curt’s BarberShop on Loveland-MadeiraRoad inLoveland,whereheis co-manager.

Loveland residentLouann McClary, who wasgassing up her car at theUnited Dairy Farmers onLoveland-Madeira Road inLoveland, said she votesbecause “it’s my Americanduty.”

“It’s a privilege in thiscountry to vote,” McClarysaid.

“People in other coun-tries actually die to get thatright.”

LOVELAND — Loveland HighSchool seniors got a unique op-portunity to take a lesson out-side of the classroom, partici-pating in the first Senior ServiceDay.

More than 300 students vol-unteered at one of seven agen-cies, as they learned a valuablelesson on giving back.

“This project involved our

entire senior class,” said ChrisKloesz, Loveland High Schoolprincipal.

“They are the perfect class toparticipate in suchavirtuous op-portunity, and I know they willtake so much away from thisunique experience.”

The seniors began the Love-land Senior Service Day listen-ing to speakers and doing smallgroup work before taking abreak for lunch then heading out

to put their service lesson intopractical use.

Near Loveland’s C. RogerNisbet Park, students plantednearly 1,000 dogwood trees forthe city of Loveland to enjoy foryears to come. Over in Blue Ash,another 50 Loveland seniors gotbusy completing projects forMatthew 25 Ministries, whileback in Loveland at the elemen-tary school dozens more seniorsgaveGranny’sGarden a facelift.

The other agencies benefitingfrom the lesson included Cincin-nati Parks, Grailville, GreenAcres and the Cincinnati SPCA.

“Getting this hands-on expe-rience is a tremendous opportu-nity for our students to under-standwhat itmeans to be amem-ber of this community,” saidJohn Marschhausen, Lovelandsuperintendent.

“In just a few, short monthsthis class will leave our halls for

good and make their way in theworld.

“We see this project as onemore way we are working tothink outside the box to prepareour students for tomorrow, to-day,” Marschhausen.

Lions make ‘Case’ for a dynasty

UrsulineAcademyand the statevolleyball tournament: The two en-tities are becoming a rite of fall inthe southwest Ohio.

The Lions have been a partici-pant in four of the last five state fi-nal-four meetings.

Therehavebeenteamswithbet-ter records and ranked higher inthestatepolls, but in that span, onlythe 2009 teamwas able to claim thename of champion— until now.

The Lions (23-6) celebrated thefifth state volleyball title in schoolhistory after beating MassillonJackson25-20,25-16,25-10 in theDi-vision I state final at Wright StateUniversity’sNutterCenterNov.10.

“We didn’t know we were goingto be here. It makes it somuch bet-ter when you’re not expected towin,” said Lions’ head coach JeniCase.

Ursuline’s record from 2008-2010 was phenomenal. The pro-gramsufferedjusttwodefeatsdur-ingthatspan,whilethecurrentver-sion of the Lions dropped sixmatches.

One defeat—the last loss of theseason - in particular stands out.

The Lions had fallen on the road toMcAuley and Case decided theteam needed to air its grievances.

“We had issues this year withgirls not wanting to listen andthings with coaches and players,”Case said. “We hashed it out afterMcAuley for two hours without aball. We sat there and we talked,and I told them what I thought-…and they toldme some things an-d…it made us so much more of ateam…”

Sam Fry, who along with PaigeKebe, co-led the Lions with 11 killsin the championship game, said theLions tight-knit.

“Really, we’re all like sisters,”she said. “I love all of my team-matesandIwassohappyIwasableto win it with them.”

Kebe, who took GGCL honor-able mention, finished the yearwith 211 kills.

This time the ball bouncedBishop Fenwick’s way.

In a rematch of last year’smemorable Division III statesemifinal, Fenwick ousted theLadyKnights’ fromtheplayoffsin overtime, 1-0, at Hamilton’sVirgil M. Schwarm StadiumNov. 6.

In 2011, Summit celebratedan overtime victory – and wenton towin the state title – but thisseason’s moment would belongto Fenwick forward MeghanBlank.

After more than 87 minutesof play the game remainedscoreless. But Blank placed hershot just inside the rightupright to lift her squad to thestate final.

Summit (19-2-2) finished itsseason ranked No. 1 in the En-quirer DIII coaches’ poll andNo. 2 in the state. Its only twolosses were to Fenwick, thestate’s top-ranked team.

Summit won the Miami Val-ley Conference by going unde-feated (6-0) in league play.

“We’ve accomplished thingsthe past three years that’s noth-

ing close to what we’ve donehere before,” said Summit headcoach Michael Fee. “We’ve gotsome talented kids back nextyear. I’m proud of what we’vebeen able to do here.”

The 2012 campaign wit-nessed senior Elizabeth Wil-liams become the school’s all-time leader in goals with 65.

Tess Akgunduz, who playedfrom 2006-2009, held the previ-ous mark of 49.

Williams also broke Akgun-duz’s points record.

Williams had 16 goals to goalongwith eight assists this fall,which gave her 154 careerpoints, shattering Akgunduz’smark of 120.

Senior goalie Ayanna Park-er, who has verbally committedto play for the University ofKentucky, also left her mark onthe history books by netting 16shutouts. LizArnold set the pre-vious mark of 12 in 2011.

BryceHueber alsowas a keyoffensive threat throughout theseason as themidfielder scored12 goals to go along with 12 as-sists.

LovelandAlong One Tiger Trail, coach

Brad Walker’s Loveland girlsbowling teamwas the final leaguechampion in the Fort Ancient Val-ley Conference and would like itsname on the top of the new East-ern Cincinnati Conference tro-phy.

Walker’sLadyTigerswere21-1last season (18-1 FAVC). For that,he earned coach of the year hon-ors and now departed senior ToniGardner was bowler of the year.

“Welost threeseniors,”Walkersaid. “We’ve got a really goodfreshman, Taylor Hayden, we’vegototherswe’reworkingwithandwe’re ready to compete again.”

Keyreturningstartersaresen-ior Rachel Leever, senior AliciaSullivan and sophomore KassieNaughton. Leever was first-teamall-league in2011-12andNaughtonwas second team.

Sullivanmight be themost im-proved.

“Alicia Sullivan should befighting for the top spot in theECC this year in mymind,” Walk-er said. “She’s one of those kidsthat doesn’t have any worriesabout anything. She just goes outthereandrolls.Thoseare theonesthat can do it all.”

League-wise, the nemesis willagain beGlen Este. The LadyTro-jans handed Loveland their oneloss less than a year ago.

“It looks like Turpin’s also go-ing to have a shot,” Walker said.“Turpin, ourselves and Glen Esteshouldbebigmatches.She(KathyDemarko of Glen Este) has herstartingfiveagainandit’sgoingtobe a tough haul for us. We’re stillyoung. We’ll just see what hap-

CORRYVILLE — Thoughthey’ve never really had a“true” home field, MoellerHigh School is familiarwith several venues.

Lockland Stadium iscurrently their officialhome field.Before that, theCrusaders played at oldGalbraith Field near KingsIsland.

However, they’ve al-ways managed to have agame or two at the Univer-sity of Cincinnati’s NippertStadium.

Recently, the SkylineChili CrosstownShowdownand playoffs have broughtthe Crusaders to UC.

Their meeting with La-kotaEastNov.10was there-

fore nothing new and theCrusaders played that way,thrashing the Thunder-hawks 46-20.

Moeller coach John Ro-denberg didn’t see thattype of convincing wincoming.

“They have a prettygood team,” he said. “It’sbeen a while since weplayed against the option.We got shook up early, thenwe came back and got dis-ciplined. It was a good winfor us.”

Lakota East held a 7-3first quarter lead thanks toan opening drive that last-ed 8:35.

Thesecondquarter thenquickly became the “KeithWatkins Show” as theNorthwestern-bound run-ningback scored on runs of

17, 40 and 80 yards to giveMoeller a 24-7 halftimelead.

“(The) offensive linemade some key blocks,”Watkins said. “I love themto death. I can’t do it with-

out them.”The leadwassosubstan-

tial that Watkins, sufferingfromheat cramps from theIndian summer temper-ature, didn’t play in the sec-ond half. Playing just two

quarters, he still raced for168 yards.

“It was just a heatthing,” Watkins said. “It’sbeen awhile since weplayed in the heat. It wasjust dehydration. I didn’thydrate enough. I could’vegone back in, but therereally wasn’t any need to.”

Moeller went on to addrushing touchdowns fromJoe Eramo, quarterbackSpencer Iacovone andback-up Gus Ragland toearn the 26-point win andanother chance to play.

“Just keep running itand keep the time off theclock,” Rodenberg saidwith a smile.

In a game that featured11 total passes from bothteams, Moeller’s Iacovonewas2-3for13yards,butran

10 times for 95 yards. In areserve role, senior JoeEramohad13 carries for 80yards.

“We thought we weregoing to run the ball prettywell,” Iacovone said.“Keith had a really goodgame and played out of hismind. Somebody plays likethat and it’s kind of hard tostop them.”

Iacovone will sign toplay baseball with Mar-shall Nov. 14. He says thereisachancehecoulddouble-upandalsoplayfootball forthe Thundering Herd.

The Crusaders face Col-erain Nov. 17 back at Nip-pert Stadium. The Cardi-nals squeaked by Elder 35-34 in overtime a few hoursafter Moeller and LakotaEast played.

COLUMBUS—“Surreal.”That’s the way Summit

Country Day head coachBarnard Baker describedwinning the Division IIIstate boys soccer champi-onship. They secured itssecond soccer trophy inschool history by shuttingout Gates Mills Hawken,2-0, for the title at CrewStadium Nov. 10.

It’s the Silver Knights’first boys soccer champi-onship since 1999. Holdingthe opposition scoreless isnothing to new to the boysof the Summit. The squaddidn’t allow a postseasongoal despite playing aMur-derers’ Row of competi-tion. Five of the schools theSilver Knights had to takedown en route to the titlewere ranked in the top10 ofthe Ohio coaches’ poll.

Baker said his programhas usually taken an “at-tack” first mentality — butthat changed this season.“From our forwards to ourgoalie, we had a mantra —defend first,” Baker said.

Summit goalie RyanHall played a big hand inpropelling the Knights to atitle, despite battling ashoulder injury that nearlykept him out of the statesemifinal against Wor-thington Christian Nov. 7.

But the senior perse-vered, and will leave Sum-mit as the state’s careerleader in shutouts with 47.“Ryan’s fearless and he’stough and you’re never go-ing to get this momentback,” Baker said.

Hall knows Summit’sdefense wouldn’t havebeen as dominant if itweren’t for the guys whoplay in front of him. “Shut-outs are never just me,”Hall told Gannett NewsService. “It’s a team effort.Not giving up a goal in the

entire tournament is unex-plainable.”

The combination ofJakeRawlingsofLoveland,Joey Kunkel , JackMeinin-ger and Ben Emery haveformed what Baker be-lieves might be the best

back line he’s ever seenduring his time at SummitCountry Day.

Rawlings began 2012 asa member of state champi-onship basketball team,and he’ll leave the currentyear with a state title.

A publication of

Nov. 7 questionDevelopers are studying the

feasibility of building a hotel onthe “Purple People Bridge” be-tween Cincinnati and Newport.Do you think a hotel on thebridge is a good idea? Why orwhy not?

“I do wonder about our lead-ers and their priorities. I will besure to hop on the streetcar toheaddowntownroundingoutmystay at the new hotel for a littleromantic barge watching withmy husband. How about fixingour bridges before somethinghappens?”

M.F.

“I think the Purple PeopleBridge as a hotel is a great idea.Newport and the Bellevue, Ky.,areas have developed into greatplaces for both local and out oftown residents.

“As Cincinnati’s banks devel-opment continues to expand,along with the more northernareas of the city such as thesouthern sections of Over-the-Rhine, Cincywill become a verynice tourist destination, particu-larly regionally, for long week-ends.

“It would be such a uniquesetting and the access to bothsides of the river would be fan-tastic. I don’t see any downsideto it at all. I hope that the studiescomebackpositive anddevelop-ment of the project can start inthe near future.”

I.P.

“Such a building would needto be designed to withstand thestresses and strains of a struc-ture that vibrates and moves.This is costly. Seems a betterstructure could be built on goodold terra firma at less cost.

“Deliveries and trash pickupwould be a problem along withexposedutilities.But, givencur-rent city of Cincinnati thinking,they could seek to have thestreetcar buzz by.”

T.J.

“Do I think a hotel on the Pur-ple People bridge is a good idea?Not hardly.

“Why do some people havesuch an urge to be different?There are many reasons whythis isn’t a good idea, but foropeners a bridge isn’t usuallydesigned to support the weightof a building like a hotel, and Idoubt there is anything that canbe done to make it perfectlysafe.

“What’swrongwith the tried-and-true method of buildingthings like hotels on the ground?What’s next? Building a churchon a runway at Lunken? Say,wait a minute ... that is an inter-esting thought. Just kidding!”

Bill B.

“Whatever addle-brain nin-compoopcameupwith this bird-brain idea isn’t working with afull deck.Howabout pup tents?”

M.F.D.

“Personally I thought it was ajoke when I first read it. Whereis themoneygoing to come fromfor this ridiculous venture. Ithingwe need to spend ourmon-ey more wisely, downtown hasmore needs than a hotel on abridge.”

D.D.

“This is one of the reasonsAmerica is so great! Free menrich or poor can do what theywant. If a guy is successful andhasawadtospend, lethimspend

it ... he will rise or fall (unlikeGM/Chrysler/Wall Street) by hissuccess or failure.”

K.P.

“It certainly is an unusualidea. It will be a good idea if it issuccessful. Itwillbeabad idea ifit fails.

“Ibelieve themountainofredtape involved with constructinga new building onto an existingstructure that spans a stateboundary will be daunting. Thenext challenge is determining ifthat very special niche in down-town accommodations will at-tract enough customers.

“If it goes forward I see it asan initial success, but a failurewhen the novelty wears off infive years or so.”

NEXT QUESTIONDo you think Congress will beable to work out a deal toavoid the upcoming “FiscalCliff,” the expiration of almostevery tax cut enacted since2001 and the first $110 billionof $1.2 trillion in spending cutsset to occur over 10 years. Whyor why not?

Every week The Loveland Herald asksreaders a question they can reply tovia e-mail. Send your answers [email protected] withChatroom in the subject line.

What a hotel on the “Purple People Bridge” between Cincinnati andNewport might look like, from a 2010 proposal.

Candidates for politi-cal office make signifi-cant claims about ourcountry’s economichealth. A hot buttonissue this election cycleis the national debt anddeficit spending. Mostevery candidate ac-knowledges that persis-tent deficit spending isnot good for our nation-al economic health. Thepath to remedying theproblem is a great point of dis-agreement in the political arenaand among private citizens.

As a voting citizen, I havefelt rather uninformed aboutthe issue. The debate often getsmuddled as each political partyclaims to have a silver bulletsolution to eliminate the debt.Frankly, I do not trust the politi-cal candidates’ stump speechesto provide information untaint-ed by the dogma of each party’sspin doctors. How can an ordi-nary citizen get solid data aboutthe debt issue and potentialsolutions?

This summer I resolved tobecome better informed on thenational debt. To accomplishthis goal, I read two books onthe topic: “White House Burn-ing,” Johnson and Kwak; and“Red Ink,” DavidWessel. What

did I learn? Muchmorethan I could possiblyput in this article, but afew points are worthnoting.

I learned that thesize of the U.S. govern-ment’s civilian workforce, as a percentageof the population, iscurrently smaller thanit has been in decades.This fact is ignored bymany who claim that

the size of government has runamuck.

I learned that the currentannual federal income tax paidis the lowest in many a year. In2010, the individual income taxwas 6.2 percent of GDP, thelowest since 1950.

I learned that a very smallportion of the national annualbudget, approximately 20 per-cent, is spent on things otherthan national defense, Medicaid,Medicare and Social Security.Practically speaking, two-thirdsof our annual spending is spo-ken for before Congress casts asingle vote on spending. Thisleaves very little fat to trim ifthe big four (national defense,Medicaid, Medicare and SocialSecurity) are considered un-touchable.

I learned that cutting taxes

and cutting the national budgetat the same time will not elim-inate the deficit, but will makeit worse.

I learned that raising taxesalone fails to solve the debtproblem.

I learned that our govern-ment has failed to pay for thewars in Afghanistan and Iraq;only making the debt situationworse.

I learned theMedicare pre-scription benefit was enacted afew years ago without any at-tempt to pay for it.

I learned that running abudget deficit is not always bad,but running persistent deficitsis eventually problematic.

I learned that a bipartisancommission, the Simpson-Bowles Commission, has sug-gested solutions to the problem.While Simpson-Bowles is cer-tainly not a panacea, it is a bi-partisan option that should begiven serious consideration.

Having obtained my newfound knowledge, I certainlyhave a better understanding ofthe work needed to put ourcountry on a path toward soundfinancial footing. I value havingtaken the time to learn moreabout this issue.

Had your flu shotyet? Me neither, but Iwill get it at my nextdoctor’s appointment in acouple of weeks.

For seniors, the sea-sonal flu can be veryserious, even deadly.Ninety percent of flu-related deaths andmorethan half of flu-relatedhospitalizations occur inpeople age 65 and older.

It has been recognized formany years that people 65 yearsand older are at greater risk ofserious complications from theflu compared with young,healthy adults. This is becausehuman immune defenses becomeweaker with age. So influenzacan be a very serious disease forolder adults.

How can you protect yourselffrom the flu?

The best way to prevent theflu is to get the flu vaccine, andas soon as possible. It’s availablenow. Getting the flu vaccineprotects you and prevents youfrom spreading the flu to yourspouse, children or grandchil-dren. The Center for DiseaseControl (CDC) recommends thateveryone 6 months of age andolder get a seasonal flu vaccine .

People 65 years and olderhave two flu shots available tochoose from - a regular dose fluvaccine and a newer, higher doseflu vaccine designed for people

age 65 and older. Bothvaccines protect againstthe same flu viruses.The higher-dose vaccineshould result in a strong-er immune response.Talk to your health careprovider about whichvaccine is right for you.

Along with the vac-cine, take everydaypreventive actions in-

cluding covering coughs, wash-ing hands often, and avoidingpeople who are sick.

Seek medical advice quicklyif you develop flu symptoms tosee whether you might needmedical evaluation or treatmentwith antiviral drugs. It's veryimportant that antiviral drugs beused early to treat flu in peoplewho are very sick with flu, espe-cially those who have a greaterchance of getting serious flucomplications.

As a senior, you are at anincreased risk of getting pneu-monia, a complication of the flu,so talk to your health care pro-vider about the pneumococcalvaccine, too. The pneumococcalvaccine will protect you againstpneumonia.

Will Medicare cover flu vac-cine? Yes, Medicare will coverthe flu vaccine once every fluseason.

Seniors should gettheir flu shots

In July, I joined theCincinnati MetropolitanHousing Agency withseveral goals in mind,including talking withlocal communities aboutour programs and con-tinuing CMHA’s drive tobe an asset to the com-munity.

Combining these twogoals will help CMHAachieve its overarchingmission to provide quality, af-fordable housing.

To achieve the first goal,CMHA hosted several coffee andconversation meetings with resi-dents in neighborhoods through-out Hamilton County, including ameeting last week inWyoming.These coffeehouse meetingsprovided an opportunity to hearwhat community members thinkabout CMHA, and discuss whatwe can do to work together.

During CMHA’s most recentcoffeehouse visit at Bilog Coffee,Tea and Gelato, we touched onseveral thought-provoking pointsthat opened lines of communica-tion.

One discussion during ourWyoming visit revolved aroundthe 90,000 Hamilton County resi-dents who live below the povertyline. CMHA provides affordablehousing for nearly 40,000 resi-dents, but the gap between peo-ple who need assistance andpeople who have assistance isstill very wide.

It is important for CMHA topartner with organizations thataddress the root of the issue.Connecting our clients with com-munity services for educationand employment empower

CMHA residents totransition out of ourprograms.

A second discussionpoint during theWyo-mingmeeting involvedCMHA’s voucher pro-gram. Throughout ourcoffeehouse visits thesepast fewmonths, we’vefound that many commu-nity members are con-cerned that CMHA con-

centrates housing by tellingpeople where to live. That is notthe case. Voucher holders choosethe area and home that best fitstheir family needs; CMHA is notpermitted to tell voucher holderswere they should live.

What we have found is thatmost residents don’t move farfromwhere they grew up, for thecomfort and familiarity of home.We hope that dispelling thesemisconceptions will help commu-nity members understand ourprograms so we can partner as agood neighbor.

The agency has also devel-oped a gold performance stan-dard to hold ourselves account-able for providing quality, afford-able housing throughout Hamil-ton County. Becomingmoreeffective in our communicationefforts will help guide CMHA inits mission to become a commu-nity asset.

You can help us by calling ourCMHATalk 2 Us hotline at (513)721-CMHA (2642) if you havecomments, questions or con-cerns.

GEOCACHING?15 months ago. Slusher firstlearned of geocaching whileupdating his GPS unit beforea family vacation trip. HisGPS provider system offeredto give several differentlocations of geocaches.

“It’s like a scavenger hunt;a GPS scavenger hunt,”Slusher said. “I thought itwas something the kids mightlike; trying to find stuff. Youhave to do puzzle solving withit. The GPS coordinates getyou in the area.”

The Slushers tried it ontheir trip to Dragon’s Tail,Tenn., but you don’t have totravel far to find a geocache.Klopfenstein learned prettyquickly when she looked atthe geocaching web linkSlusher sent her in his emailrequest for permission.

“I typed in 45140 andthey’re in Anniversary Park,they’re in Veteran’s Park,they’re downtown in Nisbet,they’re on the bike trail; theywere all over the place,” shesaid. “I started counting howmany were in parks I recog-nized. Once I got to 30, Istopped counting. I had noidea. It was out of the blue.You learn something newevery day.”

As city engineer, she wor-ried about liability for thecity and safety for the people.She wondered about the sizeof the containers, where theywould be hidden, and whatmight be in them. Initiallyshe wanted to say no to geo-caches in Loveland.

Klopfenstein found about970 online pages for the Love-land zip code on the geocach-ing web link.

“Each page has 20,” shesaid. “So 20 times 968 are justin our ZIP code. There areliterally thousands in our zipcode. We have so many andsomebody is going to ask usfor permission! How can wesay no if they’re already outthere?”

They are out there; morethan 19,000 in Loveland aloneand nearly 2 million geocach-es worldwide according tothe geocaching website. TheSlusher’s and more than 5million players (geocachers)around the world are outthere hiding and seeking thehidden treasures. The geo-

Thousands oftreasures arehidden allaround Love-land. They’recalled geocach-

es and they’re part of a high-tech game called geocaching.

Who knew? Definitely notLoveland’s city engineer,Cindy Klopfenstein. That allchanged when she received arequest for permission tohide a “geocache” in one ofthe city parks.

“I never even heard of itbefore Earl contacted us,”said Klopfenstein referringto the request she receivedfrom resident Earl Slusher. “Idon’t know that anyone elsehad ever gotten permissionfrom the city to put thesegeocaches in our parks …unless they’ve called thepolice department or some-one instead of me; which isvery possible.”

Geocaching is a high-techgame of treasure hunt goingon in Loveland and all aroundthe world. The idea is to gooutside and find these hiddentreasures called geocachesusing a GPS device. You canregister and find the GPScoordinates for geocaches atgeocaching.com. Anyone canregister and play for free. Allyou do is plug the coordinatesinto your GPS, and head outto find the geocache.

cachers try to locate hiddencontainers, called geocaches,using a smartphone or GPSand can then share their ex-periences online.

“A smartphone worksgreat,” Slusher said.

“A smartphone is perfect,”echoed his son, Craig, whotook a reporter too find a“really neat” one at Veteran’sPark. “When you see it, youthink it’s a frog,” Craig said.“You jump when you find it. Iwas nervous about it.”

The geocaches can be allshapes and sizes, hiddenanywhere, and filled withjust about anything. Slusher’screated one in a guitar casehidden somewhere in Love-land. That one is pretty big,but a geocache can be assmall as a hide-a-key; like onefound along the Little MiamiScenic River Trail.

“On the website you canlist a reason you chose thespot, or you can say some-thing about the community,the restaurant or businessyou are trying to promote,”Klopfenstein said. “There’sdefinitely a good opportunitywith the geocache to put aplug in for Loveland. Hide itin a scenic spot where peopleotherwise wouldn’t go.”

What do you do when youfind one? There should be alogbook to sign. If you takeone of the treasure items out,

leave another item of equalor greater value for the nextgeocacher to find. Make sureyou rehide the geocache inexactly the same spot youfound it. Then go back to thegeocaching website toshare your experience.It’s all free.

Geocaching hasn’tjust filled Lovelandwith hidden trea-sures, it takespeople to placesthey’d never go,shows them thingsthey’d never see,and share theirexperience withpeople they’d nev-er meet.

The Slushers havetracked one of theitems they hid more than8,000 miles … and it’s stillon the move. They currentlyhave five geocaches hiddenin and around the Lovelandarea. Why?

“I just find it fun,” Craigsaid. “I think its unique. Ittakes me places I wouldn’tnecessarily go otherwise. It’sreally good for vacations. Alot of times there will beplaces you wouldn’t realizeare there unless you do this.”
