Although there were a levy renewal and a trust- ees’ race on the ballot in Symmes Township, voters were concerned about the fate of the library and zoo levies. By midday, 91 out of about 450 registered vot- ers had stopped in to the polls at the Symmes Town- ship Branch of the Hamil- ton County Public Library, 11850 Enyart Road. Poll workers said that turnout was at about what they thought it would, and that many regular voters were already in to cast their bal- lots. Elizabeth Schmidt said she came out to vote be- cause primarily for the li- brary and zoo levies, add- ing that she felt residents “can’t let the library and zoo down.” Sally Richards echoed that sentiment, saying those issues were impor- tant to her. “People need these as- sets in their community,” she said. However, she said she wasn’t out to vote for any specific candidates, add- ing that she’d read their names and campaigns, but felt it was hard to get to know them. By the end of the day, only 2,562 ballots out of 10,582 registered voters were cast across the town- ship, which is about 24 per- cent of the voting popula- tion in Symmes Township. Current township trustees Ken Bryant and Jodie Leis got 1,729 and 1,709 votes, respectively, defeating challenger Eric Mina- myer, who got 738 votes, according to the unofficial results from the Hamilton County Board of Elections. Fiscal Officer Carol Sims also defeated her challenger, Vince Wallace, with 1,469 votes to his 853, according to the results. The township’s 0.9-mill road levy renewal was ap- proved by about 80 per- cent. The county library and zoo levies also passed by about 80 percent each as well. Results are unofficial until the board of elections certifies the election later this month. Want more updates for Symmes Township? Follow Leah Fightmaster on Twitter: @LCFightmaster.

MIAMITWP.— It’s no se-cret Miami Township Po-lice Chief R. Steven Bai-ley planned to retire.

Township officials cre-ated an assistant chief po-sition in 2011 to preparefor this, and essentiallyhired Sue Madsen fromUnion Township to re-place him.

On Election Day, hemade it official.

“Change is inevitable.Change is a part of live,”said Trustee Mary Mak-ley Wolff.

“Any time you havechange you have the op-portunity to get better.”

Wolff said Bailey mostlikely had an opportunityto become a teacher,whichwas the reasonFireChief Jim Whitworth re-tired in August.

“The chief has alwaysbeen interested in educa-tion, and does a lot of thatonhis own time,” she said.

“When you have a verylong career (sometimes)you kind of just want anopportunity to try some-thing a little different.”

Bailey could not bereached for comment.

Trustee Karl Schultzsaid Bailey came to thetownship in a critical de-velopment time.

“That was at a time ...when we were reallyworking our way throughbecoming more of an ur-banized type of communi-ty,” Schultz said.

“He’s developed ahighly recognized, certi-fied police department.We owe him an awful lotfor that.”

Despite the kindwordsfrom both Schultz andWolff, the chief’s relation-ship with trustees ap-peared to be strained.

Bailey requested totravel to Philadelphia fora police conference re-cently, but trustees de-nied his request.

“We’re in themiddle ofchanging forces with thefire chief,” Trustee MaryMakley Wolff said at thetime.

“This just isn’t a goodtime.”

TrusteeKenTracy saidofficials made it clear de-

partmentheads needto evaluateout-of-townshiptravel andmake surethey aregetting areturn on

the investment.“Obviously, this is

something we’ll have toaddress going forward,”Tracy said.

Trustees also pushedback against the depart-ment’s request to buy asport-utility vehicle in-stead of a sedan.

“I’m not hearing aplan,” Wolff said.

Trustees OK’d the pur-chase, but Wolff warnedthe department “I will notget in the habit of beingforced into making deci-sions because we are un-der the gun.”

She called the reason-ing for the vehicle “a littlewonky.”

Wolff said she was“just being an advocatefor the careful use of tax-payer dollars” and deniedany rift between Baileyand the trustees.

“We have no issue withthe chief,” she said.

“I think we all respecteach other.”

Wolff said Bailey im-proved relations with theschool district and in-creased the professional-ism of the organization.

The chief does leavewithamurder in the town-ship still unsolved.

A65-year-oldPinebluffDrive resident was killedFeb. 11, around 8 p.m.

Paul Leiter died in hischair, shot to deaththrough a window fromoutside his home.

Police last provided anupdate in March, whenCrime Stoppers offered a$2,500 reward for helpfulinformation.

“It’s easy to criticizethat, but people do not un-derstand we are ham-strung by the fact wedon’t want to jeopardizethe ongoing investiga-tion,” Wolff said.

“There are things wecan’t say because it couldinterfere. I think we havebeen on top of themurdersituation all along.”

With thehelpandcollaborationofTheLoveland Initiative and Loveland Inter-faith Effort (LIFE) Back to School fair,several students got the supplies theyneededfora freshstart to thenewschoolyear.

Terri Rogers, executive director forthe Loveland Initiative, said the goal ofthe collaboration is to ensureeverychildhas new backpacks and school suppliesfor the new school year.

“We succeeded in reaching that goalwith the generous donations frommem-bers of our community,” Rogers said.“Through the Back to School Fair, wehavemade a positive impact on the livesof childrenand families in ourcommuni-ty.”

Through this effort, both organiza-tionshavedemonstrated their continuedcommitment to making life better forfamilies affected by poverty.

On Aug. 17, the program distributedbackpacks filledwith grade-appropriateschool supplies to 208 students. The chil-dren also received new shoes, hoodedsweatshirts and other products. School,library, and assistance informationbooths were also available for familiesduring the Back to School fair.

While offering thanks to themanydo-nors throughout the community, and tothe “hard-working” volunteers who sup-port the efforts of the two organizations,Rogers stressed the importance of theback to school program.

“We feel that children are more opti-misticandencouragedtostart theschoolyear focusing on learning and not on toosmall shoes or hand-me-down bags,” shesaid. “It is about generating excitementand joy at the prospect of returning to

school.”About The Loveland Initiative and

MIAMI TWP. — For thesecond time in as manymonths, the MiamiTownship Zoning Com-mission delayed its deci-sion about Irvine WoodRecovery’s proposedzone change.

“Each hearing wetend to learn more andmore. I think it is prema-ture for us to even dis-cuss this tonight,” saidKevin Malof, ZoningCommission member.

“I would recommend

we con-tinue thisfor yet an-othermonth togive us anopportuni-ty to re-view ev-erything.”

Irvine Wood Recov-ery is a wood grindingand mulching businesson 110 Glendale MilfordRoad.

Les Irvine, the com-pany’s president, recent-ly bought about eightacres of land where the

Lake Remington trailerpark used to be located.

About 1 acre of theproperty is zoned indus-trial, but the other acre-age is restricted for mo-bile park homes.

Irvine requested azone change to fully util-ize the land, but has beenmet by vocal oppositionfrom residents.

Representativesfrom both sides of the is-sue spoke to the commis-sion at a recent meetingwhere extra chairs werebrought in to accommo-date the large, impas-

sioned crowd.Lou Ethridge, the di-

rector of community de-velopment, recommend-ed the commission ap-prove the zone change.

TomKeating, anattor-ney representing a sig-nificant number of af-fected residents, statedthe residential nature ofthe current zoningshould not be ignored.

“We all have to agreethere were real life peo-ple there living there (inthe trailer park). Maybethey were down on theirluck, but they were liv-

ing there,” Keating said.Residents com-

plained about the noiseand possibility of pollut-ed air coming from theoperation.

Irvine addressedboth.

“There have been re-ports that our operationwill double in size andbring in more grinders –that’s simply not thetruth,” he said.

Irvine wants to movethe company’s mulchingoperation, which cur-rently abuts the biketrail, to his new property

– not buy more grinders.Keating declared the

Irvine operation illegal,citing language regard-ing outside industrial op-erations in the town-ship’s zoning code.

Lasserre Bradley, azoning commissionermember, asked the town-ship’s law director tolook into Keating’sclaims and provide someclarity at the next meet-ing.

The case will ulti-mately be approved ordenied by townshiptrustees.

MIAMI TWP. — MiamiTownship is goingthrough a transition.

Trustees recentlyhired a new fire chief,and longtime PoliceChief R. Steven Baileyannounced his retire-

ment Nov.5.

Withkey safetyservice de-partmentsin flux, vot-ers choseto go withmoreof thesame in therace forMiamiTownshiptrustee.

Incum-bents Ma-ry MakleyWolff andKarlSchultz de-

feated challenger Mi-chael Collins on ElectionDay.

Wolff said stabilityplayed a role in the elec-tion and was a good thingfor voters.

“I think the communi-ty is happy with how Mi-ami Township is beingmanaged and the direc-tion the township is go-ing,” she said.

“It’s very important tobalance experiencealong with new energy—(that way) you get thebest of both worlds.”

Schultz said he re-ceived a lot of positivefeedback during electionseason.

“We are a hardwork-

ing team. I think the com-munity sees that,” hesaid.

“Any time you have anelection it is either a voteof confidence or a votethe other way.”

Even without consid-ering the changes in lead-ership, Wolff said safetyserviceswill be the town-ship’s most difficult taskmoving forward.

“We are going to bechallenged to maintainthat level of service be-cause of changes in thestate (funding),” shesaid.

“I can succinctly tellyou that the future fund-ing of safety services isthe biggest issue. It’s anexpensive, importantservice.”

Wolff said she wouldlike to bring back adviso-ry groups made up resi-dents and staff to focuson such issues.

“Sometimes peoplewill talk to their neigh-bors, but maybe are in-timidated about talkingto elected officials,” shesaid.

“Anytime you make iteasier for people to tellyouhowtheyfeel it isbet-ter for everyone in-volved.”

Schultz said he will fo-cus on improving thetownship’s infrastruc-ture.

“Before we had the(state) Route 28 improve-ments, the biggest detri-ment to us was a lack ofaccess,” he said.

“We are approaching41,000people in our town-ship – but if you look atGoshen Township andStonelick Township,those people come

through our area and wehave to accommodate theentire traffic area so thatour businesses have ac-cessibility.”

Schultz said business-es are picky, and the com-munity needs them tocontinue to grow.

“I don’t see in the nearfuture an influx of addi-tional revenue (from the

state), so we are going tohave towork for that. Forthat to happen, we are go-ing to have to have thetypes of businesses thatwill help us get that sowedon’t put somuch burdenon the homeowners,” hesaid.

“That’s why economicdevelopment is so ... im-portant.”

LOVELAND—“Back inBlack”for a home playoff game, theLoveland High School Tigersracked up 34 points in the sec-ond quarter alone as they rout-ed Vandalia Butler 54-0 on Nov.8.

The Tigers have not beenscored on since Walnut Hillscrossed the goal line in “gar-bage time” during Loveland’s63-15winOct.18.Theyhaveout-scored their last three oppo-nents 142-0.

“Wehaveachampionshipde-fense and they displayed that inshutting them out,” coach FredCranford said.

Freshman Luke Waddell gotthe Tigers on the board with an85-yard touchdown in the firstquarter. Early in the secondquarter, Waddell found the end-zone from 15 yards out and therout was on.

It was 41-0 at the half and allbut over.

“We’ve been working tomake the playoffs all year,”Waddell said. “We wanted to go10-0 and we wanted to win theECC. It’s just one game at atime.We just have tomoveon tonext week and try to win thenext game.”

In addition to the offensiveonslaught,Lovelandhad twode-fensive scores as seniors MaxMather and Mike Weber bothplayed “pick six” in the secondquarter.

On the ground, senior Gun-

ner Gambill complementedWaddell’s 130 yards with 113yards and two touchdowns ofhis own. Through the air, sopho-more Drew Plitt finished 10-11with a touchdown to senior tightendJakeElfers. Plitt also addeda two-yard score.

Loveland (11-0) now moveson in Division II action againstthe No. 4 seed Northwest. TheKnights defeated No. 5 seedHarrison 56-35 Nov. 8.

The Tigers and Knightssquare off Friday, Nov. 15.

Moeller

In a game that could havefilled some stadiums beyondthecapacityofLocklandMemo-rial’s 6,000, Moeller started its2013 run in the Division I play-offswitha42-17routofSt.Xavi-er.

After taking a14-0 lead in thefirst quarter, the Bombers gotwithin a touchdown at 21-14 atthe half. However, the secondhalf belonged toMoeller as theyoutscored St. Xavier 21-3 to winby 25.

Senior Gus Ragland wasMoeller’s top rusher with 157yards and three touchdowns.

Nearly half of thoseyards cameon a 72-yard fourth-quarterscamper. He also was 10-13passing for 264 yards and twotouchdowns to senior IsaiahGentry.

Ragland missed Moeller’sfirstwinoverSt.XavierbackonSept. 27 with an injury.

Gentryhad229yards receiv-ing on five grabs with touch-downsof 55 and81yards.Moell-er’s other touchdown was aDeanMeyer two-yardrun in thefourth quarter.

Also contributing in the vic-torywas SterlingNoes,who ranfor 135 yards with a long run of75.

Defensively, Ohio State-boundSamHubbardhad two in-terceptions and Will Mercurioadded another pick.

TheCrusaders outgained theBombers 631-302. St. Xavier’sseason ends at 5-6.

Moeller is now10-1with theirlone loss coming at LakewoodSt. Edward on Oct. 26. Next uponNov.16 is theElderPanthers.Elder defeated Northmont 16-7to advance.

Moeller won the regular sea-son feature at The Pit 35-14 onOct. 11.

CHCAThis one goes to 11.The one in this instance be-

ing the Cincinnati Hills Chris-tian Academy football team.The Eagles went one higherthan their 10-0 regular seasonwitha19-0shutoutofMadeira inthe opening round of the Divi-

sion V playoffs Nov. 9.Nick Marsh scored on a 20-

yard touchdown with 56 sec-onds left in the first half to giveCHCA a 7-0 edge at the break

As it happened, those wereall the points CHCAwould needagainst an injury-riddled Mus-tangs club, not that head coachEric Taylor relaxed.

“At 7-0 I was very uncom-fortable,” he said. “Even 13-0was still uncomfortable.They’ve come back on somevery good football teams thisyear.”

Quarterback Conner Os-borne feltmuch better after thefirst score. Despite starting thegamewith eight consecutive in-complete passes, hewarmed upenough to engineer the firstscoring drive and then cut loosein the fourth quarter. Osbornehit Dave Bechtold for a 44-yardscore to give the Eagles somebreathingroomat13-0.KyleDa-vis added a five-yard touch-down run after a Madeira fum-ble for the final margin.

“Our offense knew we need-ed one good drive to put a scorein the end zone,” Osborne said.“Our defense played lights outall night. It was great.”

And not surprising; CHCAhad four shutouts in the regularseason.

CHCA advanced to the sec-ond round againstHamiltonBa-din Nov. 16. The Rams dis-patched Mariemont 37-13 intheir playoff opener and comeinto the regional semifinalswith a 9-2 record.

FAIRBORN—MountNo-tre Dame High School’s11th trip to the state vol-leyball tournament re-sulted in their seventhstate title as the Cougarsbeat previously unbeatenToledo St. Ursula in foursets Nov. 9 at WrightState’s Nutter Center.

MND trailed in eachset, but prevailed 25-27,25-23, 25-19, 26-24. The2013 trophy will now jointhe Cougar hardwarefrom 1995, 1998, 1999,2000, 2006 and 2011.

Head coach Joe Burkealso defeated the Arrowsin the Nutter Center fi-nale two years ago.

“Winning state is afeeling you’ll never for-get,” Burke said. “Thesegirls have been talkingabout it, really, since thebeginning of the season.That’s what we wantedour goal to be. We wantedto be practicing the finalday and we wanted towalk out as a state cham-pion.”

Though Ursuline andRocky River Magnificatwere the only two sharedopponents the teams had,Burke and his girls weresomewhat familiar withToledoSt.Ursula fromthe2011state game and a pre-season exhibition.

The Cougars hadscrimmaged the Arrowsearly in the year and itwas close. Burke thoughthis squad was dead evenwith them. Consideringthey both wound up in theDivision I final, it wasquite visionary.

MND’s girls were alsosomewhat visionary set-

ting lofty goals at the be-ginning of the year. De-spite winning the statechampionship in 2011,many would not have as-sumed another finale inWright State this year.

“We obviously lost a lotfrom last year, but weknew we had a lot of tal-ent,” Burke said. “Weknewwewere going to beable to continue toget bet-ter every day. We have agreat mix of seniors andsophomores and they im-proved every single day.We didn’t want to just getback here, we wanted tobe playing on Saturday.”

To get to the final,MND beat Hudson 25-10,25-16, 18-25, 25-13 on Nov.7. The four set triumphover Toledo St. Ursulawas theCougars’12thcon-secutive win since a Sept.26 loss to Ursuline.

Right-side senior hit-terChristineChandler ledthe charge for the Cou-gars with 24 kills and 22digs. Sophomores DaniSzczepanski and SydneyMukes had 14 and 12 kills,

respectively. Junior libe-roMargoWolf had 28 digsand junior setter JessicaTowle had 58 assists.

“The defense kept tell-ing me, ‘We’ve got yourback. Just swing away,’”Chandler said. “That wasreally helpful and let mehave confidence everytime I went up to swing.”

The Cougars fan sup-port was tremendous asexpected. From paintedvehicles to signs along theway on I-75 and I-675,Mount Notre Dame’s 534girls and their fansstepped up their game.Afterhavinganestimated2,000 at their regionalchampionshipmatchwithUrsuline, Burke wasn’tsure if the powder bluepupils could do muchmore.

“Our fans are awe-some,”Burkesaid. “At thepep rally I asked them todo itagainanddo it louder.Boy, did they do that!They came out in num-bers and were fun.”

A publication of

Nearly 24 years ago, Amer-ican leadership helped bringdown the Berlin Wall withoutfiring a shot. Now, our service

members andveterans are upagainst a newwall, a wall ofbureaucracy.

This wallcomplicatesnearly everyfacet of life asthey transitionfrom activeduty service toveteran status.This Veterans

Day, we must renew our com-mitment to those who haveserved us. Our task begins byensuring that their medicalrecords, which document yearsor decades of service, seam-lessly follow them from uni-formed to veteran status.

The House of Representa-tives is taking action to pushboth the Departments of De-fense and Veterans Affairs torealize this goal. Our troopsface numerous challenges afterthey serve: transitioning tocivilian life, finding a career or

continuing their education, toname just a few. Our veteransshould not have to serve ascouriers between the DoD andVA too. It’s an additional andunnecessary burden.

Our two biggest depart-ments are still not fully capableof digitally communicating inthe 21st century. Early in hispresidency, President Obamacharged these two departmentsto “build a seamless system ofintegration with a single goal:when a member of the ArmedForced separates from themilitary, he or she will no long-er have to walk paperworkfrom a DoD duty station to alocal VA health center; theirelectronic records will transi-tion along with them and re-main with them forever.”

This vision has devolved intoa series of missed milestones,shifting priorities and balloon-ing budgets. The House Veter-ans’ Affairs Committee learnedearlier this year that thesefailures have led PresidentObama and both departmentsto abandon the original goal ofone system, and instead plancontinued reliance on separate

systems integrated together toconnect electronic health rec-ords.

I served as an Army combatsurgeon in Iraq and still serveas a Reservist. I know that myfellow military members, whenthey retire, should not have tocontinue to wage war at homeagainst bureaucracies andpaperwork. And yet, a doctortreating veterans cannot seam-lessly access the medical histo-ry of their patient because thathistory is housed in a separateDefense Department system.VA doctors report that initialsteps are improving this digitalsharing, while still on separatesystems.

The House of Representa-tives is working to tackle theseissues through the bipartisanH.R. 1960. Important sectionscall for basic interoperabilitycapabilities within a year,meaning that doctors on bothsides will be able to readilyview medical history files.

By 2016, we are demandingfull system integration be-tween the two departments.These are essential steps to-wards realizing a system that

seamlessly communicates med-ical history files between thedepartments, without forcingthe burden on to the shouldersof our transitioning veterans.Ultimately, I believe one sys-tem will best serve our troopsand veterans as they seek care,and full integration is steeringthe departments in the rightdirection. Fully integratingthese electric health recordsisn’t just about helping transi-tioning veterans, it’s also essen-tial to reducing our veterans’disability backlog.

We know that fully devel-oped disability claims, thosewith complete medical historyfiles, take half the amount oftime to complete compared toclaims filed with incomplete ormissing data. It’s discouragingfor our troops, our veterans,and our doctors to face a wallof bureaucracy that hinderscare.

LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR

Another breast cancerawareness month is behind us.It is amazing the strides thathave been made in the earlydetection and treatment of thedisease. But did you know that

the excellentmedical re-sources avail-able for thetreatment ofcancer are onlyhalf the story?

In October2007, the In-stitute of Medi-cine of the Na-tional Acade-mies of Science

published a report “CancerCare for the Whole Patient”which recognized that the stan-dard of care for people withcancer should include bothexcellent medical treatmentand support for the psycholog-ical and social support (psycho-social) problems that accompa-

ny a diagnosis of cancer. Thereport states that “attention topatients’ psychosocial healthneeds is the exception ratherthan the rule in cancer caretoday.”

Fortunately, in the greaterCincinnati region there are twoorganizations that provideexactly the services that arecalled for in the report – Can-cer Family Care and CancerSupport Community. As thedirector of the Cancer SupportCommunity I will talk aboutCSC services, but readersshould know that both organi-zations are well equipped toprovide psychosocial supportservices.

Our two organizations col-laborate, serve on many of thesame committees, share staffand cross refer to the organiza-tion best equipped to meet anindividual’s needs.

A diagnosis of cancer can bephysically, financially and emo-

tionally devastating. It is fre-quently accompanied by sig-nificant stress and feelings ofloss of control, connection, andeven hope. It not only impactsthe person with the disease, butalso their families, neighborsand co-workers.

Help is available right in ourcommunity and all services areoffered at no cost. Cancer Sup-port Community is part of anational organization which hasa 30-year history of helpingpeople reduce stress and im-prove quality of life from diag-nosis, treatment and beyond tosurvivorship.

Services are a complementto traditional medical care; nota substitute, which is why CSChas great working relation-ships with all area oncologyservices and hospitals. Amongthe free services are profes-sionally facilitated supportgroups, networking groups,stress reduction programs

(yoga, tai chi, guided imagery,education programs often fea-turing oncologists from localmedical institutions, nutritionclasses, and social opportuni-ties where people affected bycancer can spend time withpeople similarly impacted in asafe and comfortable environ-ment.

People with cancer and theircaregivers and can find theworld class, evidence basedemotional support the Instituteof Medicine suggests, righthere at home.

Programs are offered inBlue Ash, Northern Kentuckyand 10 other locations aroundthe Tristate. All Cancer Sup-port Community programs areoffered free of charge. Pleasecall us at 513-791-4060 or on lineat http://bit.ly/Qj5rsi.

Nov. 6 questionState Sen. Bill Seitz has intro-

duced legislation which would re-define the standards or third par-ties to appear on Ohio’s ballot, in-cludingaminimumrequirementof56,000 signatures togeton thebal-lot and receiving at least 3 percentof the vote in a presidential elec-tion to stay on the ballot. Do yousupport Seitz’s proposal? Why orwhy not?

“There needs to be somemini-mum requirement to get on theOhio state ballot. 56,000 signa-tures seem like a rational num-ber to use along with at least 3percent of the vote minimum.Lately with the failures of boththe Democrats and Republicansto accomplish anything expectincreasing the debt, I welcome athird-party influence. There isalwaysthewrite incandidate line

too. Go figure!T.D.T.

“Because I am ignorant of thecurrent process, if any, for thirdparties getting onto the ballot, Ican’t gauge the value of this pro-posal. If the proposal is more re-strictive – or less restrictive –then I would like for Sen. Seitz tojustify his reason for thechange.”

R.V.

“Yes, I do support Sen. Seitz’sproposal, especially because itcould get the tea party hypocrit-es on the ballot against Demo-crats and Republicans. This canonly mean more Democrats get-ting elected to legislative officeas theconservativevotegetsbro-ken into smaller andmoremean-ingless chunks!”

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2013

Like any other 3-year-old boy, Loren Bald-win fell in love withthe movie “Ghostbus-ters” when he first

saw it.The jokes (”He slimed

me”). The Stay Puft marsh-mallow man. The cool protonpacks. And the car ... especial-ly the car.

But unlike other fans of themovie, Baldwin kept his pas-sion alive for nearly threedecades, finally turning thatlove into the real thing: a mod-ified 1959 Cadillac/Miller Me-teor combination ambulance/hearse re-created by Baldwinand a team of area businessesas the beloved Ecto-1.

Many fans consider Bal-dwin’s version to be one of themost exact replicas of the realthing, and it almost didn’tcome to be.

“I had always wanted to dothis, but had given up on everfinding a frame of the carafter looking for nearly nineyears,” says Baldwin of Love-land. “I was just out on theInternet looking for anothercar and just happened to comeacross this one. When I foundit, I completely freaked, as didanyone who knew me becauseeveryone knew what it meantto me.

“So when I found it, it wasall or nothing,” says Baldwin,now 30 and an engineer/cap-tain for the U.S. Army Corpsof Engineers. Baldwin is a carbuff as it is; he owns 18 carsdue to what he calls “a sick-ness I learned from my dad.”

Baldwin spent two yearstransforming that original$2,500 purchase of the dis-

assembled car into the iconicEcto-1. Prior to construction,Baldwin spent an entire daywith the original in Californiato take pictures and mea-surements, a day he calls the“one of the happiest in mylife.” (The original is stored ata repair/storage facility onbehalf of the movie studio.)

“It took a lot of convincingto get in there and to showthat I wasn’t just a randomfanboy,” Baldwin says. “Butnow I can say that everythingon my car is within an inch ofthe original.”

Where he couldn’t findparts, he had local fabricatingshops make them in exchangefor promotional consideration(he displays a sign that showsall the people who helped himany time he shows the car).That also extends to anyonewho did work on the vehicleduring its restoration, in-cluding a fledgling paint andbody shop in Hamilton. Bald-win explains that since theEcto-1 relies on trademarks,he can’t charge or profit fromit.

“We knew this was going tobe big for us, and we had justopened, so we threw ourselvesinto it,” says Cliff Byrd, whoowns the paint and body shopwhere the work was done (itwas called Queen City Cus-toms and is now called On TheSpot Automotive). Byrd esti-mates that he was paid about$5,000, but probably put about$25,000 worth of work into theproject, including body, chas-sis, paint and final assembly.

“This is just a huge hit forus,” Byrd says. “And youshould have seen Loren. Hisattention to detail was amaz-ing.”

Indeed, the vehicle itself

features recreations of all ofthe gizmos on top, including a“storage tank” for capturedghosts and ghouls, as well asworking blue lights and theunique siren heard in themovies. Fabrication shopsfrom throughout the areahelped create some of the“devices,” and others wereadopted from old militaryequipment. It stands morethan 8 feet tall, is 21 feet long,and weighs nearly four tons(7,300 pounds). Baldwin evenfound an old gurney of thesame model to hold those pro-ton packs, although he is stillworking on creating those.

The Ecto-1 currently sits atThe Antique Auto Shop inHebron, Ky., where it re-ceived new brakes, not aneasy task given its age andrarity. Shop owner Terry Kes-selring says the project iscertainly one of the moreunusual he has helped on, andhe has done everything fromantique fire trucks to the firstproduction car manufacturedby Henry Ford.

“You can tell how muchlove went into this vehicle,and I’ve seen a lot of restora-tion projects,” says Kessel-ring.

All told, Baldwin says heput about $20,000 of his mon-ey into the project, but it prob-ably cost more than $100,000.But he also says that the firsttime he put it on the road, hedidn’t know what to expect.

“We were all scared todeath that it wouldn’t run or itwould break down ... therewere a lot of sleepless nightsgetting this thing on the road,”Baldwin says. “But to be hon-est, people just went crazyover it.”

In the end, he feels it wasworth it, especially based onthe feedback he’s gotten fromother car and Ghostbustersfans. One includes actor Ernie

Hudson, who saw Baldwin’sversion of the Ecto-1 up closewhen in town two years agofor a horror/science fictionmovie convention. Baldwinsays Hudson, who played thefourth Ghostbuster “Winston”in both movies, raved over thecar, saying it was the closestreplica he had ever seen.

“That was high praise in-deed, because he rode in thereal thing in the movie,” Bald-win says.

Hudson’s signature adornsthe dashboard, as does that ofanyone else in the movie whohas been around the car. Bald-win is on the hunt for themovie’s main actors, Bill Mur-ray, Dan Akryod and HaroldRamis, and may even get achance to get Annie Potts’autograph when she is in thearea next spring for a sci-ficonvention.

Yet Baldwin is consideringretiring the Ecto-1 and start-ing work on creating his ownversion of the vehicle seen in“Ghostbusters 2,” which doeshave some differences fromthe first movie. Still, he gets athrill out of the reactions thevehicle can elicit, remember-ing specifically how a termi-nally ill 9-year-old boy lovedhis time inside during a char-ity event.

“That validated all the ef-fort I put into this,” Baldwinsays. “I wouldn’t change athing.”m

Thanksgiving will be herebefore you know it and someof you are already preparingyour grocery list. Thanks-giving is my favorite holidaysince it’s just about food, fam-ily and friends – no presentsrequired. Yes, it can get

stressful, espe-cially if you’rehosting thefeast. As I tellyou every year,it’s not onlyabout the food,but who sits inthe chairs.Some advicefrom one whohas been there,done that: Pars-

ley and whipping cream aregreat culinary Band-Aids.

During one of my recentclasses, the subject of limon-cello for the holidays came up.If you want to give this as agift or serve it at Christmas,it’s best to start the processnow.

Double CitrusLimoncello

The great thing about thisis it keeps just about foreverin the freezer. You can use alllemons for classic limoncello.This year I made some with acombo of lemons and limes. Itwas different, and good.

2 pounds lemons, thick skinned4 limes, thick skinned if you canfind them

4 cups good quality 100 proofvodka

3 cups sugar3 cups water

Pour vodka in large gallonglass jar or container.

Wash fruit very well usinghot water to remove wax coat-ing. Pat dry. Remove zest witha vegetable peeler. The zest isthe colored part. If some ofthe white part underneath the

skin is visible, cut it off. That’sthe pith and it’s very bitter(though it is the most nutri-tious part of the peel). If youcan’t get it all off, do the bestyou can. Place zest in jar withvodka and cover. Let sit atroom temperature for at leasta week, or up to three weeks.The vodka will take on thecolor and flavor of the citrusas it steeps.

Bring sugar and water to asimmer and stir until sugardissolves and thickens a bit.Let cool and then add that tovodka mixture and stir. Strainand put in pretty bottles. Sealand chill in refrigerator for acouple of weeks, at least.

To use, serve straight overice chips, mix with sparklingwine or mineral water and alemon curl, toss with freshfruit, serve over ice cream,frozen yogurt or simple cake.

Orangecello

It’s on my blog!

Holiday Waldorf saladFor Will, a Colerain Town-

ship reader. For the life of me,I can’t remember the origin ofthis recipe. I think it was fromanother reader whose name Iobviously misplaced. Regard-less, this is one of the tastiestWaldorf salads you’ll ever eat.

Mix together:

11⁄2 to 2 pounds grapes, mixture ofred and green, halved

2 ribs celery, sliced thin1 cup raisins1 cup chopped English walnuts3 diced apples

Mix and blendwithabove:

1 cupmayonnaise1 tablespoon vinegar or more totaste

1 cupmilk

Let sit in refrigerator sev-eral hours before serving.

Hot buttered ciderAddmore or less of any

ingredient, to your taste. Thisis a nice offering before theThanksgiving dinner.1⁄2 stick butter1⁄2 cup dark brown sugar1⁄2 gallon apple cider2 oranges, sliced and seedsremoved

Dash or two ground cloves2 3-inch long cinnamon sticks1⁄2 cup dark rum (optional)

Melt butter and add brownsugar. Add cider and cookuntil sugar is dissolved. Addorange slices, cloves, cinna-mon sticks and rum. Bring toboil and then simmer 10 min-utes. Serves about 10.

Readers want to knowHorseradish mashed pota-

toes for Thanksgiving. “Howmuch horseradish do I addand when do I add it?” Forthree pounds potatoes, stir ina generous 1⁄4 cup bottledhorseradish (not horseradishsauce) after mashing. Checkyour bottled horseradish if it’sbeen in the refrigerator awhile. It should be nice andwhite. If it tastes vinegary ornot really spicy, it’s old andneeds to be replaced.

CHCA volleys for breastcancer awarenessBy Leah [email protected]

TheCincinnatiHealthDepartment, HamiltonCounty Public Healthand Northern KentuckyHealthDepartment urgecitizens and health careprofessionals to main-tain vigilance and followvaccination guidelinesfor pertussis, commonlyknown as whoopingcough.

Case reports in boththe City of Cincinnatiand Southwest Ohio forthe month of Octoberwere higher than aver-age – a trend that healthofficials throughout theregion are monitoringclosely.

In the City of Cincin-nati and Hamilton Coun-ty, 46 cases of pertussiswere reported in Octo-ber. An additional eightwere reported in North-ern Kentucky.

Pertussis, also knownas whooping cough, is ahighly-contagious respi-ratory disease. The dis-ease usually starts withcold-like symptoms andperhaps a mild cough orfever. After one to twoweeks, severe coughingcan begin. Unlike thecommon cold, pertussiscan become a series ofcoughing fits that con-tinues for weeks.

Pertussis is most dan-gerous for babies. Morethan half of infantsyounger than one year ofage who get the diseasemust be hospitalized.

Early symptoms ofpertussis can last for oneto twoweeks and usually

include:» runny nose;» low-grade fever

(generally minimalthroughout the course ofthe disease);

» mild, occasionalcough;

» apnea – a pause inbreathing (in infants).

Because pertussis inits early stages appearsto be nothing more thanthe common cold, it is of-ten not suspected or di-agnosed until the moresevere symptoms ap-pear. If a cough persistsfor two weeks or longerwithout any other symp-toms, individuals are ad-vised to see a doctor asthose infected with per-tussis are most conta-gious up to twoweeks af-ter the cough begins.Antibiotics may shortenthe amount of timesomeone is contagious.Often close contacts arealso given antibiotics toprevent the spreadof thedisease.

Vaccination is thebest way to protectagainst pertussis. Chil-dren are routinely vacci-nated with the DTaP aspart of their regularschedule of immuniza-tions, with a five dose se-ries that starts at eightweeks of age and endswith a booster betweenage 4 and 6.

The protection pro-vided by the pertussisvaccination fades overtime, so Tdap boostersare recommended forseveral groups, includ-

ing:» Preteens age11or12

years old. Getting vacci-nated with Tdap is espe-cially important for pre-teens and teens who willbe around infants.

» Pregnant womenshould be vaccinated inthe third trimester ofeach pregnancy. By get-ting Tdap during preg-nancy, pertussis anti-bodies transfer to thenewborn, likely provid-ing protection againstwhooping cough in earlylife, before the babystarts getting DTaP vac-cines. Tdapwill also pro-tect the mother at timeof delivery, making herless likely to transmitwhooping cough to herinfant.

» Parents, grandpar-ents, baby-sitters andany other adult who isgoing to be aroundyoungchildren.

Both the DTaP andTdap vaccines are avail-able through local doc-tors’ offices, health clin-ics and the health de-partments.

Students from Love-land High School bringback comedy in their falldrama production of “YouCan’t Take it With You”Nov. 14-16 in the highschool auditorium.

“It’s basically Romeoand Juliet,” said ShawnMiller, Loveland HighSchool drama director;“two people in love fromtwo different sides of thetracks.”

Tony (Aaron Marshall)comes from a very but-toned-up business orient-ed family, while the fam-ily of Alice (Josie Puchta)isall aboutbeingcarefreeand happy. They makefireworks, print mes-sages inside candy boxes,theypaint, and theydonotpay income taxes. All thatmakes them seem a bitmad, or even crazy, to therich, boring, and unhappyKirby family. Then thetwo kids fall in love.

“That’swhere theclashof the families happens,”Miller said. “Funny linesand a few things we putinto it to make it a littlemore current; a littlemore about today.”

It may be familiarfrom the 1938 Frank Ca-pra film which includedthe comedic talents ofJimmy Stewart. Com-pared to the large castsfrom the recent run ofmusicals performed byLoveland students, thisthree act comedy has acast of less than 20, withabout 20 more studentsmanaging the set, stage,sound and lighting for theshow. Junior Josie Puchtahas been involved in dra-

ma since seventh-gradehere at Loveland.

“I’ve been really excit-ed about this show,” shesaid, “because you reallydo get to enhance the act-ing side of things.”

Music, dance, choreog-raphy, and the large casttakes away from the op-portunity to go deep intothe character for Puchta.

“It’s been really cooljust exploring the differ-ent characters,” Puchtasaid. “Not one person onthe stage is the same.Thisis an awesome play to diginto different aspects ofhuman nature.”

As the relationship de-velops between her Aliceand Aaron Marshall’s To-ny, those “different as-pects of human nature”

are revealed when themembers of their twofamilies get together.

Junior Nick Huberplays Mr. Anthony Kirby,father ofTony, and tries toimpose his serious busi-ness-like approach to lifeupon his son. He experi-ences a kind of cultureshock when he meets thefamily of Alice.

“He starts out like astuck-up, big, I’m betterthan you, businessman,”Huber said. “He meetsher family. It’s differentthananyof the formal set-tings he’s used to in hislife. His son Tony, in lovewith their daughter, triesto convince him this ishow it’s supposed to be.”

Zany antics and crazyfun fills the stage as the

Sycamore family revealtheir way of life in an ef-fort to convert AnthonyKirby. He fights it all theway.

“There is definitely alot of comedy in this,”Huber said. “It speaks toeveryone, and everyonewill understand it. It’s atimeless comedy.”

Junior ZachSimone re-turns to the LovelandHigh School stage in therole of Alice’s GrandpaVanderhoff. Playing com-edy is a significantchange frommusicals forSimone. It’s been chal-lenging having lines scat-tered throughout com-pared to clusters of linesand then exiting the stageinhispreviousroles.Play-ing grandpa has a fun side

though.“I’vehada lotof funex-

ploring this guy,” Simonesaid. “He’s just a chilldude. I like it because hishumor isa lotmoresubtle.It’s fun for me because Iwon’t realize something isa joke until I’m doing thescene.”

Junior Aaron Marshallis new to Loveland HighSchoo, – he just movedhere from Milford – buthe’s attended shows be-fore.

“This experience isawesome,” he said. “I’vealways come out to sup-port Loveland in their the-atrical performances. It’sreally interesting gettinginto a straight play again.Ihaven’tdoneoneof thosesince elementary school

days.”HeplaysTony – theRo-

meo toAlice’s Juliet.Mar-shall says there is chaos;everything is crazy withno order. The whole con-flict is the same as “Ro-meo and Juliet.”Act threeishis favoritepart justbe-cause all the chaos playsout and reveals every-thing for the audience.

“It’s really cool to seehow everything falls backinto place,”Marshall said.

“People will have agood time if they come,because we’re alwayshaving a good time,” Si-mone said.
