outlining the “CaribbeanGauntlet.” Living in a ho-tel away from home andfamily inspired him to be-gin writing his first novel.Then he wrote when hecould until it was com-plete.

“I put some feelers outwith traditional publish-ers,” Smith said. “Thatcan take years. I decidedto go the self-publishingroute.”

It is a fictional storywhich takes place on aCaribbean island used byColumbian drug cartels tostage their drug-smug-gling into the UnitedStates and Europe. Themain character is anAmerican who finds him-self trying to help the wifeand daughter of a druglord escape to America.You write what you know.Smith borrowed from alittle of his own DNA tocreate the main charac-ter, Jake Sanders, a writerwho left the navy.

“My main characterwas in the navy, got out ofthe navy and became asuccessful writer andscreenwriter,” Smithsaid. “Whether he wantsto or not, he gets in-volved.”

In the story, the maincharacter left the NavySeals to become a writerso he could have a biggerimpact on the world.Smith saw a lot whileserving in the navy andwhile working as a projectmanager for more than 20years. Those were mis-sions unknown to the pub-lic.

“It would be easy togive up,” he said. “If youhave that passion, and youhave that story to tell, thatcan carry you through.You have to stay focused.”

Smith never knewwhat he wanted to bewhile he was growing up.Seeing the world madehim passionate aboutmany issues we face to-day. Drug cartels, piracyon the seas, or any of“thousands of topics” hecould write about. Heknows he doesn’t have the

solutions, but believes theway to have an impact onthe world is with words.

“Some of my favoritenovelists build worldswith words,” Smith said.“That’s the kind of thing Iwant to do; build worldsand solve problems or talkabout solutions to issues.”

Smith has already add-ed another building blockto his world of words.“”Vengeance Quest,” thesequel to “CaribbeanGauntlet” released onAmazon Friday, Feb. 5.Now retired from his pro-ject manager consulting,he has more time to focuson writing and completedhis second novel in lessthan two years. While thisis an action adventure se-quel, he plans to exploreother writing genres inthe future.

“I don’t want to getlocked into one genre,” hesaid. “I want a biggerstage. I want the states-men talking president-to-president to get the storyout. There’s a lot to besaid.”

my concern is having thevendors finding othermarkets. If we continue todrag this on people are go-ing to leave the market.Then we are going tomake a decision and thereisn’t going to be any ven-dors,” said Traci Talbott,owner of Delish In A Dishand a market vendor.

Leah Berger, head ofthe Madeira Farmers’Markets, talked about the

importance of Farmers’Market to communitiesand in support of the mar-ket staying in downtownLoveland.

“Sixty to 80 percent ofFarmers’ Market goers goon to shop at other localbusinesses before or afterattending the market,”

Berger said.A few residents spoke

or sent in letters in opposi-tion of the marketing be-ing downtown, citingparking and traffic con-cerns.

“I am confident thatMr. Kennedy and the coor-dinators of the market

will reach a solution,” Set-tell said.

Although improve-ments to Ohio 32 may havebeen among the biggestClermont County projectsin 2015, this year’s slate ofprojects is possibly evenmore extensive.

“This is the biggestyear we’ve ever had,” saidClermont County Engi-neer Pat Manger about theprojects which are expect-ed to get under way in thecoming months. Some ofthe projects include:

» The Aicholtz Roadconnector. This connectorwill extend from the inter-section of Aicholtz Roadand Eastgate Boulevard toMount Carmel and extendan estimated 1.3 miles.This project is budgeted atabout $6.25 million.

» Widening of Old Ohio74 from Armstrong Boule-vard to Olive Branch-Sto-nelick Road. A center turnlane will be added to whatis a two-lane road extend-ing about three-quartersof a mile. Traffic signal up-

grades along this road willalso be made in conjunc-tion with the widening.This project is budgeted atabout $3.75 million.

» Wolfpen Pleasant HillRoad safety improve-ments starting from Rain-tree Drive to Indian HauntDrive. Manger saidcurves along WolfpenPleasant Hill will be soft-ened and that a retainingwall along the hill will bebuilt.

“(This will be) one ofour more dramatic im-provements,” Mangersaid. “The before and afterwill be pretty dramatic.”This project is budgeted atabout $3 million.

Rehabilitation of OldState Route 32. This repav-ing project will extendabout 8 miles from the cor-poration limit of Bataviato the county line. It is a $2million project.

Manger said $5 million

has been budgeted for re-surfacing projects. In ad-dition to Old State Route32, other roads that will re-surfaced are:

» Taylor Pike;» Frank Willis Memori-

al Road;» Bethel New Rich-

mond Road;» Branch Hill Loveland

Road;

» Clermontville LaurelRoad.

Manger said the budgetfor Clermont County roadresurfacing projects thisyear is bigger than in pre-vious years. Typically, hesaid from $1million to $1.5million is annually budget-ed for resurfacing pro-jects. Funding for this willcome from state grants.

“We applied for manyof these grants about fiveyears ago,” Manger said,adding that it often takesseveral years for the pro-jects to eventually be initi-ated.

Manger said construc-tion on many of these pro-jects is expected to beginin June.

tion” by Gilmore. Gilmore worked for a

boss who had quite adifferent religious faithupbringing. Despite theirdifferences, they wereable to tease one anotherabout it. They talked alot.

“It just amazed mesome of the questions heasked me about Jesus,”Gilmore said.

Some of those ques-tions are rooted in misin-formation from the pub-lic media. Gilmore pointsto checkout line tabloidstories about Jesus, “TheDaVinci Code” – bookand film as sources ofmisinformation. Whetherpeople find it in the gro-cery store, or in thethrilling films of Holly-wood, fiction becomesfact and the unbelievablebecomes, well gospel.

Gilmore cited storieslike “Jesus was married”or a new lost Gospel hasbeen found as examplesof what gets “put outthere” as fact. It is sim-ply not true and Gilmorehas set out to separatefact from fiction in “ThePerfect Equation” usingthe Gospel truth.

“This stuff getsspread around and, be-fore long, people juststart believing it,” Gil-more said. “People neverreally check it out.Things always come upand I like to be able toexplain it.”

Gilmore realized dis-cussions with his bosshad expanded; that may-be a seed had been plant-ed. Joe became the carri-er for page-long ques-tions from his wife, and afriendly exchange tookplace among the three ofthem.

“I think that’s whatreally started it,” Gil-more said. “She wouldhave a question, and Iwould try to convinceher, the best I could. In2006, I created a website.Since 2006, I was averag-ing about 3 to 400,000 hitsper month on my web-

Is Jesus the Messiah?Was Jesus married toMary Magdalene? Med-ical equipment sales isprobably not where youwould look for answersto questions about JesusChrist.

First-time author Ben-jamin Gilmore sells med-ical equipment when heis not writing or answer-ing questions about mat-ters of faith. His firstbook, “The Perfect Equa-tion,” was released na-tionwide by Tate Pub-lishing in early January.The Milford author laysout a short concise andlogical argument in re-sponse to commonlyasked questions aboutJesus Christ in the book.Gilmore went to a pri-vate Christian schoolwhile growing up with areligious family in Gal-lipolis and Ironton.

“I was the one in Bibleclass that had a millionquestions,” he said.“When my hand went up,the teacher said oh no.”

His education pro-duced a doctoral degreein divinity and a schol-arly interest in the histo-ry of Christianity andJesus Christ: both topicsnot easily discussed inthe workplace; maybeeven less so in the scien-tific arena of medicineand medical equipment.Yet, that is exactly wherethe groundwork was laidfor “The Perfect Equa-

site. It was just peopleinterested in this kind ofinformation.”

Gilmore laid out theinformation just like anargument in a court oflaw. It took a while, buthe received messagesfrom people saying theyfound salvation. It waslike a great victory forhim; maybe being thesource of light guidingthem out of darkness. Hewondered if their soulsmay have been lost with-out stumbling upon hiswebsite. Who knows?

“I was glad to hearthat little old me puttingout some informationcaused someone to thinkand look at what theybelieve,” he said. “Ithought if I can reach300,000 people on mywebsite; why not put abook out.”

Gilmore saw how thewebsite took off. By add-ing just a little more, hecould complete the equa-tion and put together ashort book. He actuallyput pen to paper andasked his wife Beth toread it. She liked it. Henever published anythingbefore and had no ideahow to approach, orchoose, a publisher.

Tate Publishingcaught his attention.They treated him kindlyin a phone conversationand explained how to

send a manuscript tothem. Upon his arrivalhome one day, Beth toldhim he had mail from thepublisher. That was theday he learned theywanted to publish hisbook. There was a proc-ess of editing and format-ting, but three yearslater, the book is nowbeing released nation-wide.

Beginning with anintroduction includingthe words “proof andevidence” and then,chapter by chapter evi-dence to prove thingslike Jesus Christ is theMessiah, was not mar-ried, and rose from thedead. It has led Gilmoreon his own personal jour-ney to Catholicism.

“It is the fullness oftruth,” he said. “To me,each person that findstheir salvation and knowswhere they’re going isone less soul the Devil isgoing to get. That’swhat’s important to me.”

“The Perfect Equa-tion” is available throughbookstores nationwideand from the publisherat: www.tatepublish-ing.com/bookstore, or byvisiting: www.barnesand-noble.com or www.ama-zon.com

Loveland High School

» Loveland High School sen-ior Jonathan Reese was namedone of approximately 4,000 stu-dents in the 2016 U.S. Presiden-tial Scholars Program. The can-didates were selected fromnearly 3.3 million students ex-pected to graduate from U.S.high schools in 2016.

Inclusion in the U.S. Presi-dential Scholars Program, nowin its 52nd year, is one of thehighest honors bestowed upongraduating high school seniors.Scholars are selected on the ba-sis of superior academic and ar-tistic achievements, leadershipqualities, strong character andinvolvement in community andschool activities.

A distinguished panel of edu-cators will review submissionand select 800 semifinalists inearly April. The Commission onPresidential Scholars, a groupof 32 eminent citizens appoint-ed by the president, will selectthe finalists, and the U.S. De-partment of Education will an-nounce the Scholars in May.

» Loveland High School’s2015 yearbook staff receivedthe Ohio Scholastic Media Asso-ciation’s “All Ohio” rating – thetop rating awarded. The OhioScholastic Media Association ispart of Kent State's Journalism,Media, and Communication'sSchool.

“I’m so thrilled for our stu-dents,” teacher and yearbookadviser Rhonda Overbeekesaid. “This award comes withprestige that will be noted asthese students advance in theirstudies; it is a wonderful and ac-curate reflection of the workthey do.”

The Ohio Scholastic MediaAssociation awarded “Out-standing” scores to the Love-land staff in the areas of studentleadership, design and graph-ics, and reader services.

Loveland Middle School» What does it mean to be

Loveland Middle School Ti-gers?

The answer can be foundeach month when PrincipalChris Burke and assistant Prin-cipal Jayson Bruce share thestage of the school auditoriumwith teams of teachers to offerlessons in teamwork, integrity,generosity, excellence, respectand success (TIGERS). Theyear-long campaign is called#TigerUp and the goal is to getstudents thinking and talkingabout what it means to be out-standing both inside and outsideof the classroom.

“We want to expose studentsto the character traits thatmake amazing individuals andcommunities,” Burke said. “Byhearing and seeing how thesetraits work in the world andwith some of the adults in theirlife we know it will begin to haveimpact on the kids.”

Burke uses both video andformal presentation to deliverthe message, and each month heasks the students to STEP UP(Tiger Up) to a challenge fromthe theme. The school evenequipped students with #Tige-rUp shirts to build extra mo-mentum for the campaign.

“My goal is to have studentsgrow as young men and womenholistically, not just academi-cally,” Burke said. “Social andemotional growth is as impor-tant as any math concept they

will learn. Exposure to this in-formation and discussion couldhave a great ripple effect ontheir lives.”

I couldn’t wait to tellyou that I now have anew fan of my “po-tions”. As many of youknow, I make some ofmy own simple medi-cines. A while back Ishared my homemade

coughsyruprecipewith lem-on, gin-ger, hon-ey andcayenne.I keepthat onhand foranyonecoming

down with a cold or flu.Well, yesterday, I got

to “doctor up” my hus-band, Frank. Now truthbe told, the man nevergets a cold or flu. But afew days ago, he startedhacking, was feverishand very congested. So Igave him doses of thecough medicine alongwith this really goodchilled fever bustingpunch. I think he wassurprised at how quick-ly both helped.

I mentioned thatduring a presentation Idid for women engi-neers at UC and a cou-ple of the studentswanted me to includethe punch recipe herealong with tips on whyit’s good for you. So youget a bonus today!

Fever bustin’ chilled punch

Sometimes when we have the flu or a cold, a fever is part of it. But staying hydrated is soimportant. We want something chilled and refreshing. This drink does it all: it’s delicious, hydratingand energy boosting.

I like to have this punch on hand even if no one is sick. It’s good for the immune system, alwaysrefreshing and a good afternoon pick-me-up.

Now if you’d like more healthful, vitamin filled drinks, check out my site abouteating.com.Stir together and chill:

2 cups each: all natural fruit punch, pineapple juice and either cherry/pomegranate orcranberry/pomegranate juice.

Lately I’ve been making it with cherry/pomegranate and it’s a bit sweeter than cranberry/pomegranate.

A wedge of lemon or few slices of strawberry for garnish makes the drink look even moreinviting.

Why this recipe is good for you:The punch contains vitamin C which helps fight infection and builds immune system, pineap-

ple is great for sore throats, and cranberry/cherry/pomegranate has lots of antioxidants.Lemons and strawberries contain vitamin C.

Tuna & peas

Gosh, I can’t tell you the times I made this formy kids, nieces and nephews. My culinary repertoirewasn’t vast in those days, but this was always a hit.

But even to this day, this recipe is simplyknown in our house as tuna & peas.

This makes a pretty thick mixture, so if youwant, increase the butter, flour and milk by halfagain.

Ingredients

1 box frozen peas, thawed - use as little or asmuch as you want

2 tablespoons ea. butter and flour1 cup milk1 small can tuna, drainedPepper to taste

Melt butter and flour together and cook justuntil butter melts and mixture looks golden, notbrown. Whisk in milk and cook until thickened. Stirin peas and tuna and cook until peas are done.Season to taste.

To serve: either alone or over whole grain thinbagels or toast points

Why this recipe is good for you:Canned tuna contains Omega 3s too. Peas are

good for your bones and immune system. Theygood for sniffles, too. Milk contains bone-buildingcalcium, and pepper has antioxidants in it, too.

Miso glazed salmon

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

FILE PHOTO

The Loveland Initiative is seeking volunteers for its many programs,including the annual Christmas toy store,

First, I want to be perfectlyclear that no one from the citywants to get rid of the Farm-er’s Market, nor has anyoneimplied that the market shouldnot exist. There is so muchfalse information circulatingregarding the market that it isimportant to set the recordstraight.

City Manager Dave Kenne-dy has told the owner of thebusiness that the market canno longer be at Jackson Squarebecause of the traffic con-gestion. As we all know, His-toric Downtown has an infra-structure problem. The citymanager has offered severalalternative locations for themarket as well as another dayand time that may be more

appropriate.Hopefully, Mr.Kennedy and theowner of themarket can finda solution that isamicable toboth.

I believe thecity manager’sdecision wasthoughtful and

well-reasoned. It is his job ascity manager to do what hefeels is best for the communi-ty as a whole. He has clearlystated that the downtown areacan't handle the traffic con-gestion, particularly with theclosing of Branch Hill GuineaRoad again this spring andsummer. The location of the

market is not a city councildecision. It is also not a politi-cal issue; it is simply a safetyand legal issue.

Financial figures about themarket have been widely re-ported to the various newsoutlets so I’d like to ask a fewquestions:

Who is responsible for therules and regulations of themarket and the vendors?

What is the cost for vendorsto participate? Who receivesthis money?

How are the sales tracked?How many vendors partici-pate?

Do all vendors have an Ohiosales tax license? Is sales taxcollected and remitted?

Have all vendors and the

owner of the market filed anincome tax return for the Cityof Loveland?

Does the owner of the mar-ket carry an insurance policy?Do the vendors have an insur-ance policy?

What are the liability issuesfor the city if someone is hurtor falls ill from somethingpurchased at the market?

I don’t ask the questionsbecause I don’t support themarket. I personally enjoyfarmers markets and I alsobelieve that the questionsmerit an answer and discus-sion. I believe the questionsshould be asked of anyone whowants to operate a business inour city. This is fair to not onlythe other businesses located in

the city but also the patrons ofthe market. Who is willing tohave this discussion?

Council must make manydecisions on behalf of ourcitizens and it is a responsibil-ity I take very seriously. How-ever, that job becomes moredifficult when facts are notproperly disseminated to thepublic. I invite all of you toregularly attend council meet-ings so you can witness first-hand the discussions.

If you would like to discussthis matter or any other I amalways willing to meet withany resident or you can con-tact me at [email protected].

Pamela Gross is a memberof Loveland City Council.

Drew Plitt (9) rolls out for Loveland after handing off to Luke Waddell (37).The pair were one of the more effective combinations in the Tristate thepast three seasons.

LOVELAND - Though he’llwalk out of Loveland HighSchool with a jacket full of L’s,Drew Plitt will remain in Love-land folklore as nothing but awinner.

On Dec. 6, 2013, on a snowynight in Canton, the then-sopho-more guided the Tigers to theDivision II state championshipover a team full of Division Irecruits in Cleveland Glenville.Plitt threw a whopping fourpasses that game, but two werefor touchdowns.

The game was essentiallyover at halftime with Lovelandleading 34-0 as Glenville walkedshell-shocked to their lockerroom with their own fans boo-

ing.“I think we knew we could

beat them, but I didn’t thinkwe’d beat them that bad,” Plittsaid.

The rest of the night was fullof snow angels and celebrationsas the movie script was com-plete at 15-0.

Two-plus years later, thefootball Tigers had back-to-back 6-4 seasons and came upshort in the postseason comput-er tally. Plitt has signed to playquarterback at Ball State, but isnow finishing his final season inhis first love, basketball.

Oddly enough, even after themiracle football season of 2013,the 6-foot-3 slinger thought hisfuture was on the hardwood.

“I was basketball first,” Plittsaid. “My sophomore year I

wanted to play basketball in col-lege. Then the spring after wewon state (in football), schoolsstarted recruiting me. That’swhen I changed to football.”

Make no mistake; Plitt is noslouch at roundball. He startedas a sophomore averaging 6.4points per game. His junioryear he was third in the EasternCincinnati Conference in scor-ing at 15.1 with a high game of33. This year, he’s also amongthe scoring leaders.

On a smaller scale than 2013,he’s trying to impact his schoolagain.

“Loveland hasn’t had a win-ning record since 2009, so wewant to be the first team to dothat,” Plitt said.

SPRINGFIELD TWP. - JimmyLallathin’s first season as head bas-ketball coach at St. Xavier HighSchool can be measured in moreways than simply wins and losses.

Lallathin, who arrived by way ofKennesaw State and Miami Univer-sity, has found a place he admires, aplace he can work on returning toprominence.

“I love being at St. X,” said Lal-lathin, who’s nearing the close of hisfirst season as head coach at thehigh school level. “The kids arefantastic. They make it a joy tocome to practice every day. They’regetting better. We’re working hard.It’s a real refreshing team to bearound. I’m thankful every day to be

here.” The Bombers have only won five

games and they remain winless inthe Greater Catholic League South(with a trip to Elder still on the dock-et Feb. 12), but 15 losses hasn’t whit-tled away their resolve. Even thoughthe results haven’t been there, St. Xhasn’t slowed or given ground,they’ve proved to be a tough team toput away.

“I think it speaks to their charac-ter,” said Lallathin. “There’s a greattradition at St. X and the coachesbefore me … it was a winning tradi-tion; the last two years it’s fallen onsome tough times and these youngmen have been a part of that.”

St. X has lost close games againstLakota West, Walnut Hills and OakHills — all top-10 ranked teams inThe Enquirer Division I coaches’

poll. The Bombers played No. 2 LaSalle tough twice and the first meet-ing against No. 4 Elder was closeuntil the Panthers pulled away late.

“They’re competitors; we’re get-ting better,” said Lallathin. “We’regetting a little more consistencyscoring the basketball. It’s a greatleague this year which sort of stuntsour growth in terms of the win col-umn.”

Consistency, particularly at theoffensive end, has been tough tocome by.

“Johnny Bubenhofer has beenour most consistent guy scoring,”Lallathin said. “Henry Kuechly’sfound it lately. Matt Wittrock hasbeen a warrior with what he’s beenbattling through all year.

BLUE ASH - Twelve events made up theGirls Greater Catholic League swimmingand diving meet. Of that dozen, UrsulineAcademy won just three: the 100 Breast-stroke, 200 Freestyle Relay and 200 MedleyRelay.

However, the Lions still managed to bringthe hardware back to Pfeiffer Road as win-ners of the conference championship at Keat-ing Natatorium Feb. 3.

Ursuline has now won the league 10 of thelast 11 years.

“We knew going in that beating St. Ursulawas going to be quite a task,” coach Brad Ish-am said. “It was one of our goals we set at thebeginning of the season.”

A quick glance at the results shows theBulldogs won eight races, while Mount NotreDame sophomore Teagan Moravek was thediving champion.

That alone is enough to think that St. Ursu-la ran away with the meet, winning its secondleague championship in a row.

However, when examining the results fur-ther, the picture becomes clearer as to howUrsuline won.

“We did it with our depth,” the coach said.“We don’t have that top, elite swimmer whocan carry a relay or score a lot of points. In theGGCL meet, we scored a lot of the lower-endpoints.”

The following are sub-mitted summaries ofLoveland boys varsitybasketball action.

The Loveland Tigersmen’s basketball teamtraveled to Anderson onFeb. 10 night to take on theRedskins in the final weekof the regular season. In athriller that wasn’t decid-ed until the final shot, theTigers edged the Red-skins 60-57. With Love-land’s victory, both teamstied for fourth place in theEastern Cincinnati Con-ference with 7-6 leaguerecords.

Loveland jumped upearly on Anderson, stak-ing a 13-7 lead after thefirst quarter. The Tigerscontinued to play aggres-

sive defense as they ex-panded their lead to 29-19at the halftime break.Loveland took its biggestlead of the game at 38-25midway through the thirdquarter. At that point, theRedskins full court trap-ping defense started pay-ing dividends as theyturned over the Tigers anumber of times and cuttheir deficit to 3 by theend of the third quarter.

And Anderson’s mo-mentum continued asthey scored the first sixpoints of the fourth quar-ter to take a 45-42 lead.But the Tigers showedheart, regaining the leadon a basket by BradyFunke and two freethrows by Jacob Camp-bell. From that point on,the Tigers never trailed.

With six seconds to go, theRedskins had the ball outof bounds at midcourt asthey set up their finalshot. Their final treybounced off the rim, se-curing the Tigers roadvictory and season sweepover Anderson. BradyFunke led the Tigers with20 points, including fourtreys. Jacob Campbellknocked down 11, DrewPlitt added 10, and DrewSteinbrunner contributed9 points and 6 rebounds.Mitch Suder led the Ti-gers in rebounding with 7and also had 6 points.

The Tigers saved theirbest effort for the regularseason finale Feb. 12against Walnut Hills. TheTigers traveled to WalnutHills, spoiling seniornight for the Eagles’ sev-

en seniors and avengingan earlier 15-point defeatat Loveland. Playing infront of the Nuthouse,Walnut Hills’ raucous stu-dent section, the Tigerstook home a hard-fought60-54 upset victory.

The Eagles entered thegame ranked ninth in thecity and tied with Kingsfor the ECC lead with an11-2 record. A win wouldguarantee the Eagles atleast a share of the confer-ence championship. Set-ting the tone with consec-utive three pointers toopen the game, BradyFunke and Drew Stein-brunner paced Lovelandto a 12-0 lead. The Tigersheld a 15-10 lead after thefirst quarter.

Loveland maintainedtheir five-point lead going

gers knocked down 21of25 free throws in thegame, including 10 downthe fourth quarter stretchto solidify the Tiger 60-54victory.

In a balanced scoringattack, Drew Steinbrun-ner and Brady Funke ledthe Tigers with 15 points.Steinbrunner was 8-9from the line and pickedoff 6 rebounds.

Behind a steppedup defense, the Eaglesscore the first 6 points ofthe second half to take thelead at 32-31. But DrewPlitt ended the Eagle runwith a strong basket andteams traded leadsthroughout the quarter,with the Eagles taking thethird quarter lead, 41-38.

Tigers pull off upset at Walnut Hills, beat AndersonCommunity Press

The 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, 500freestyle, 100 backstroke, 100 butterflyand 200 individual medley illustrateIsham’s point clearly.

In each of those cases, SUA had aswimmer win the race, but Ursulinehad four swimmers score points thusearning more than a first-place finishis worth.

The coach also said Caroline Blood,Rollie Grinder and Julia Moran had big

meets for the Lions.If the GGCL meet was about stuff-

ing the standings to score points andwin the meet, then sectionals Feb. 13and districts Feb. 20 are about advanc-ing as many swimmers as possible tothe state meet.

All this week the swimmers wentthrough a taper period to rest up beforethese important meets. Isham said,with almost no physical preparation,the girls need to stay mentally focused.

“These next three weeks are veryimportant,” he said. “We have to makesure we are doing the very best wecan.”

“All the seniors — winsand losses aside, they’veset a foundation for howwe’re going to do things.Six, seven, eight yearsfrom now, I want them tocome back and say, ‘Hey,we helped start this.’These seniors are contrib-uting the foundation ofthis program that I hope

to be a part of for many,many years, because likeI said, I love this place.”

Bubenhofer ranksthird overall in the GCLSouth, scoring 11.7 pointsper game. SophomoreBobby Jefferson, juniorGreg Ruppert and seniorsHunter Lampley, Wit-trock and Kuechly haveall hovered around fivepoints per game.

“I want these youngmen to believe in them-selves like I believe in

them,” said Lallathin.“They’ve excelled in ev-ery part of their lives justto get into St. X; they’renot used to not being suc-cessful. I don’t know ifthey’ve responded to mymessage or not but theykeep fighting. Theyhaven’t quit.”

Now 35 pounds heavierthan the skinny lad whowalked out of Fawcett Sta-dium with a state title,Plitt has followed in themulti-sport footsteps ofhis older brother, Bryce.

He has had many high-lights, including throwinga touchdown pass to Gio-vanni Ricci with :17 leftagainst Zanesville in thestate semifinal, then fly-ing through the air for twopoints to send the game toovertime. Without that se-ries, there would be nostate title.

However, his favoritehighlight came as a fresh-man when he was insertedin late against Milford andcompleted a pass to hissenior brother.

Most days, a Plitt is at afunction with a ball. Fa-ther Steve has coached

and his mother, Julie,heads up Loveland’s vol-leyball team that featuresyounger sister, Marie.Bryce played football,basketball and baseball,as did Drew growing up.

He doesn’t recall losingmuch, and proudly boastsof being on a fifth-gradeyouth football team thatwon a city championship.

He hopes to continuethe winning at Ball State.Former New OrleansSaints quarterbackscoach Mike Neu took theCardinals job and hasbeen to Loveland to meetand explain the offense.

“It’s probably going tobe more of a pro-stylewith a new coach comingfrom the NFL,” Plitt said.“I’m really excited to beable to throw more andhave a little bit more free-dom.”

He plans on studyingapparel merchandise de-sign, hoping to work hisdream job with Nike.

Helen Rhoad of Syca-more Township surprisedher husband, Don, by giv-ing him a shiny euphoni-um when he retired froma global engineering firmin 2002.

Don had reason to besurprised – he had neverplayed an instrument inhis life, but Helen sus-pected that under Don’sprofessional demeanor, amusician lurked.

“Don had heard ourfriend Bill Wilkie play aeuphonium solo with aband,” Helen said, “andcommented that if he everplayed an instrument, theeuphonium -- with its richbaritone sound – is the onehe would select.”

Helen, a veteran in-strumentalist in the Syca-more Community Band,had also begun playingtrombone in the newlyformed New HorizonsBand of Cincinnati. Sheinvited Don to take les-sons and join the NHB,one of hundreds being or-ganized around the coun-try to help seniors enjoythe health and social bene-fits of playing band mu-sic.

New Horizons Bandswelcome former schoolmusicians and beginnersalike – even those like DonRhoad, who had neverplayed.

Soon after receivinghis gift euphonium, Don

Rhoad was not only play-ing with the band, butserving as its president – arole he would perform foreight years. He finally re-linquished that role toclarinetist Russ Rosen ofAmberley Village in 2013,but Don, now 78, not onlyhandles concert bookingsfor the band but an-nounces the numbers –from marches and folksongs to jazz and Broad-way hits – on its concertprograms.

The NHB of Cincinnatiis directed by Pete Metzg-er, who led band pro-grams at Sycamore HighSchool for many yearsand now leads the Syca-more Concert Band.

Bruce Knapp, with a

background in school, col-lege and military bands,serves as assistant direc-tor. They are supportedby instructors who canhelp newcomers get start-ed.

NHB members re-hearse two mornings aweek at St. BarnabasEpiscopal Church inMontgomery, 10345 Mont-gomery Road. Rehearsalsare 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.every Tuesday and Thurs-day. Men and women ofany age who have the in-terest and the time to re-hearse on those morningsare welcome to call theRhoads at 793-0473 tolearn how they can attenda rehearsal.

Local seniors can strike up theband with the New Horizons
