GOODAS GOLDPride, tradition and brother-

hood.As Moeller High School’s

football team headed off to thestate championship gameagainst Mentor High School,those tied to the school’s com-munityare feelinga senseof ex-citement. It was Moeller’s sec-ond trip in a row to the champi-onship, and many are creditingnot only the team’s hard work,but the support they receive allaround.

Madeira resident Dan Rag-land teaches math at Moellerand is senior quarterback GusRagland’s father. As someonewho fills both school staff andparent roles, Ragland said theirsuccess not only brings theschool itself together, but alsoanyone associatedwithMoeller.

“It’s a sign of pride,” he said.Defensive back Sam Hub-

bard of Montgomery said theplayers and students who at-tended and played for Moellerbefore him give him a sense ofpride, because their trips to theplayoffs and state champion-ship games now are a continua-tion of what alumni startedyears before.

“We’re giving everyone whocame before us and set the stan-dard for success pride,” he said.“It makes them proud we’recontinuing it and feel a sense ofaccomplishment.”

Along with that pride comestradition. AsHubbard said, pastMoeller students and playersset a successful standard thatthe current team and studentsfeel the need to continue.

Coach John Rodenberg saidseveral members of his coach-ing staff played on previousMoeller teams, some of whichwon state championships aswell, andhehears storiesofpastsuccesses. He said that thoseteams “created something spe-cial,” and they look for that tra-dition to endure.

Although a lot of the focusboth internallyandfromtheout-side is on athletics at Moeller,Principal Blaine Collison saidthat the school’s success both inand out of the sports realm is atestament to that traditionof ex-cellence that Moeller studentshope to continue each year withtheir own class.

“It’s a credit to our coachesand teachers who strive for ex-cellence, and it reflects as partof the institution,” he said.

Moeller students andplayersdon’t achieve success on theirown. Behind them they havescores of alumni, family,friends, faculty, fans and staffwhoaretherefor themalongtheway. And of course, they haveeach other.

Rodenbergcalls it the“broth-

erhood of excellence,” the sup-port system of students andalumni who have attended orare currently attendingMoellerand have that connection as aman of Moeller. They hold eachother up for their successes, butalso hold them accountablewhen they slip.

“It’s the strongest brother-hood I’ve seen,” Rodenbergsaid. “It’s the identity ofMoellerfootball.”

Moeller fans span far and

wide, according to Athletic Di-rector Mike Asbeck. He saidthat as the school’s website fol-lowed the lastplayoffgame live,20,000 people tuned in from 32states.

“Even though men graduate,they never leave,” he said.

That statementholds true foralumnus and Sycamore Town-ship Trustee Denny Connor. Agraduate of Moeller’s third sen-ior class in 1966, he still proudlyshows off his alma mater. He

said that football was one of thefirst things that put Moeller onthe map – during Connor’s sen-ior year, the school logged itsfirst undefeated season.

“Everywhere I’ve gone asI’ve traveled professionally,whenever you say Cincinnati,people say Moeller,” he said.“The name is known nation-wide.”

Whether it’s for football orsomething else, the name is rec-ognizable. Gus Ragland saidthat when he’s left Cincinnatiand worn something Moeller,people see and respect it for theinstitution it is.

“It says a lot about the schoolandhowspecialofaplaceMoell-er is,” he said.

The school’s successwouldn’t be what it is withoutthe fan base. Moeller has astrong fan following, and play-

ers are well known. Hubbardsaid that the student supportand spirit brings the wholeschool to life. Ragland said thatbringing the Moeller communi-ty together is “thecoolest thing”about it.

Tostudentandschool captainKyle Zimmerman of Mason,these guys aren’t celebrities.They’re his classmates andfriends.

“These guys are making upthe best team in the state, andit’s a funny idea that you get tosee your friends do so well,” hesaid. “As a fan and student sup-porter, it’s great.”

The Indian Hill Ex-empted Village SchoolDistrict is moving for-ward with several ener-gy-saving initiatives.

The school board re-cently approved seekingbids for a central utilityplant, which would con-

sist of aboiler andchiller.

Theboard hasalso ap-provedseekingbids fordrilling

geothermal wells.Board member Erik

Lutz, whoheads thedistrict’sOperationsCommit-tee, saidthe IndianHill Plan-ning Com-missionap-

proved preliminarydrawings for the central

plant during its Novem-ber meeting.

Dave Couch, assistantcity manager for IndianHill, said the centralplantwasapprovedunan-imously by the PlanningCommission, under thecondition that it not ex-ceed certain noise levelsat the property line.

“We are moving for-ward with final plans anddrawings for the centralutility plantwhichwill goout for bid in late Decem-ber,” said Lutz.

“We expect to award acontract in late January.”

Set up of the centralplant, whichwill be locat-ed at the high school andmiddle school campus,

will be implemented inphases.

The first phase will in-volve setting up the cen-tral plant and connectingthe piping to the middleschool. The next phasewill involve connectingpiping to the auditoriumin three to four years.The final phase will in-volve connecting pipingto the high school withinthe next decade.

Treasurer Julia Tothsaid the estimated costfor the utility plant is $1.1million to $1.4 million.

Lutz said funding forthis project would comefrom the district’s per-manent improvementfund since it would be a

capital project.He said the central

plant will save about$80,000 annually in gas,electric andmaintenancecosts.

The school board hasalso approved investigat-ing costs associated witha geothermal system thatwould involve drillingwells.

A well was dug nearthe middle school park-ing lot in the fall foracon-ductivity test to deter-mine if the wells were aviable option.

“The results of theconductivity test showpromise that the wellsmight be financially fea-sible,” said Lutz.

The geothermal pro-ject,whichwould involvedigging an unspecifiednumber of wells, couldcost roughly anywherefrom $800,000 to $1.3mil-lion, according to Lutz.

However, Lutz said,anticipated savings witha geothermal systemcould range from $70,000to $90,000 a year.

“I think it is definitelya good idea,” said boardmember Elizabeth John-ston.

“We have a paybackfor the investment.”

Johnston said a geo-thermal system wouldhave “recognizable sav-ings” over a period oftime.

Typical geothermalsystems use pipes buriedunderground to recircu-late air or liquid from theconstant year-round tem-perature of about 50 de-grees Fahrenheit be-neath the surface intobuildings.

CANTON— It would be easy tooverlook Moeller High School’sreturn to theDivisionIstate foot-ball finals with, “Oh, they’re al-ways there.”

While that might be the im-pression to an outsider, Crusaderfansknow that 2012’s state cham-pionshipwas the first since1985.For perspective, 72-year-oldReds legend Pete Rose had justbroken Ty Cobb’s all-time base-ball hit record that year.

In Moeller’s “heyday,” coachGerry Faust won back-to-back-to-back state titles between1975-77. Before leaving for NotreDame, he won again in consecu-tive years in 1979-80. After that,coach Steve Klonne won titles in1982 and 1985.

This year, again with Klonneonhisstaffof talentedassistants,coach John Rodenberg joinedFaust as the only Moeller coachtomake two straight title games.

Rodenberg’s Crusaders heldoff Mentor 55-52 to travel southwith their second state trophy inas many years.

“I don’t even worry aboutthings like that,” Rodenbergsaid. “I just think our kids didsuch a great job. It’s all about thekids. It’s a special group.”

The blue and gold nevertrailedafter jumpingout toa13-0lead on first quarter deepballs tosenior Isaiah Gentry and juniorChase Pankey from senior quar-terback Gus Ragland.

Mentor cut it to three twice asquarterback and UC commitConner Krizancic led the Cardi-nals on scoring drives with hispassing and scrambling. Howev-er, Moeller’s Ragland was equal-ly as talented with his arm andfeet as the Crusaders answeredbackwitheitherNo.14scoringorfinding Kent State commit Gen-try alone again (naturally).

Krizancic cut it to three for afinal timewith :44remaining,hit-tingEddieDaugherty fromthreeyards out for his second touch-down toss of the game.

At 55-52, Mentor then at-tempted an onside kick thatwentout of bounds, allowing Moellerto knee the ball out for the vic-tory.

Both signal callers lived up totheir billing. Krizancic ran for102 yards and three scores andwas 36-55 passing for 419 yardsand two scores.

Ragland had the game of alifetime with 189 yards rushingfor five touchdowns to go alongwith a12-13 passing night for 273yards and three scores.

“I owe it all to the guys upfront,” Ragland said. “Theyplayed a great game and our re-ceivers did their jobs. I had eighttouchdownsbuteveryoneputmein position to be successful.”

There’snotmuchrest forRag-landahead.CarlKremer’sMoell-er basketball team will use himand they play Dec. 13 at Taft.Come March, the redheadchucks the small ball from themound for the defending statechampions of TimHeld.

“Every team has a Gus Rag-land,” Rodenberg said. “Gus wasthere for us tonight and got somebig plays. I’m proud of the wholeteam.”

Cincinnati HillsChristian Academy

The Eagles increasedtheir total number ofswimmers from 24 to 35and have a record nineboyson the squad this sea-son.

Head coach Gary Ton-er hopes the improvednumbers will bring someimproved results, too.

“We’ve got 21 kids inour junior high program,too,” he said. “It looksgood for us for the nextcouple of years becausewe’re still kind of youngon the high school team.”

There is some experi-ence - and quality experi-ence at that - in returningsenior statequalifierKen-dall Hart. She swims thefreestyle sprints and thebutterfly. Unfortunatelyfor CHCA, she will missthe early part of the sea-son after sustaining someinjuries in an auto acci-dent. She should be in sol-id shape by the CoachesClassic meet in mid Janu-ary.

A group of six fresh-men should help fill outthe relay teams.

On the boys’ side, topreturnees include broth-ers Joe and J.P. Panciolli.Joe, a junior, swims free-style sprints. So doessophomore J.P., but healso stretches out to takeon the 500 free.

Tonerhashelp fromhisassistant coachwife, SuzyToner, as well as formerUrsuline Academy andUniversity of Evansvilleswimmer Emily Fergu-son.

“I think they bring a lotto the team,” he said. “Thekids get some very goodinstruction and they areready to race.”

Toner tabbed Cincin-nati Country Day as theteam to beat in the MiamiValley Conference.

CHCA swimsmostly atthe Five Seasons, but doesonedayaweekat theBlueAsh YMCA to work onblock starts and relay ex-changes.

veteran Dr. Dan Carl re-turns with more power-house pool pupils for the

upcoming season as Syca-more’sboysaredefendingGreater Miami Confer-ence Champions and com-ing off an eighth place fin-ish in the 2013 state meetin Canton.

The achievements gar-nered Carl Co-Coach ofthe Year honors in theGMC with Mason’s MarkSullivan.

“The boys team lostnine seniors to graduationand were four-time GMCchamps,” Carl said. “It’stoo much to replace, butwe will be more competi-tive than we thought. Wehaveagreatgroupofsolidtalent and are looking fortwoormore to stepupandget us on the podium atDistricts and State.”

Junior Mark Hancherreturns in the 100 butter-fly and the sprint free-styles after scoring inthree state events lastwinter. Also back are ju-nior state relay scorerIsaac Goldstein and sen-ior Max Cappel who fin-ished strong last season.

On the horizon is fresh-man JiHoChoiwhomCarlthinks might be a yearaway but is looking good.

Sycamore’s girls weresecond in the GMC lastwinter and 10th at thestate meet thanks to Co-SwimmeroftheYearCaraNorris who shared honorswith Mason’s MaddieSewell.

The juniorNorris is thereturning state runner-upin the 100 butterfly andwas third in the 200 free-style. Carl sees her as amajor Division I prospectand thinks she can scorein many events.

Sophomores Mary Fry,Priscilla Wu, Annie More-no and Jory Gould are allreturningstaterelayscor-ers and will also competein individual events. Thefreshman Lady Aves arealso talented and shouldhelp in terms of sheernumbers.

“The girls team shouldbe as competitive from adepth standpoint as we’vehadinmy10yearsatSyca-more,” Carl said. “It willbe very competitive tofindaspot inour line-up insome events. Hopefully,internal competition willprovide the drive andmo-tivation to carry usthrough a successful Dis-trict and State meet.”

The Lady Aves alsohave returning state div-ing scorer Andi DiMassoas a Division I prospect.

Up ahead for Syca-more is a tri-meet withTurpin and St. Ursula atTurpin High School Dec.17.

Head coach Brad Ish-am graduated nine sen-iors, but has three return-ing senior state qualifiersaround whom he hopes tobuild another successfulsquad.

Senior Emily Slabe –who signed with the Uni-versity of North Carolinanext season – leads the re-turnees and swims thebackstroke and butterfly.Classmates Temarie Tom-ley in the freestyle sprintsand Alisabeth Marstellerin the individual medleyand freestyle bring addi-tional state experience.

A trio of juniors inAllieWade (breaststroke, dis-tance freestyle), AbbyPitner (backstroke andfreestyle sprints) andDaytonOakwood transferSydneyLofquist (distancefree) bring additional ex-perience.

Freshmen Julia Mor-gan (sprints) and RollieGrinder (distance freeand butterfly) shouldhave an immediate im-pact.

“What we’re going toneed (is) that balance andthat depth,” Isham said.“We’re going to need ev-eryone to step up and im-prove through the seasonfor us to compete in Can-ton again this year.”

Isham said the GirlsGreater Catholic Leaguewill go a long way towardpreparing his team.

“It’s going to be verystrong,” he said. “Thedepth in the league willreally push us. We willhave to work hard everymeet.”

Indian HillTaking over the pro-

gram as head coach thisseason is Emily Hardy, afour-year collegiateswimmer at Xavier. She’llbe assisted by veterancoachHolly Rice and divecoach Lori Rapp.

Hardy will be helpedby the return of severalIndian Hill state competi-tors.On thegirls side, sen-

“Our team looks to bepretty strong again thisyear,” Hardy said. “Wehave five of our sevenstate qualifiers on thegirls team returning, aswell as all four state quali-fiers on the boys team.”

McGoff and Smith arepart of Indian Hill’s rec-ord-setting200medleyre-lay, while McGoff joinedDrerup and Landstra on asuccessful 200 freestyle

MoellerThe Crusaders had a

historic 2012-2013 seasonand look to rewrite therecord books again thisseason. Last year’s squadset a school record bysending nine qualifiers tothe state meet. Seven ofthe nine are back thisyear,boostedbyatalentedgroup of underclassmen.Senior Greg Nymberg, anOhio State commit, leadsthe team. Seniors ChrisAsgian (Providence com-mit), Charlie Braun, ToryWorobetz, Fritz Joseph-son, and Kyle Smith giveMoelleroneof itsmost tal-ented and experiencedclasses.

“This season, Moellerwill be led by a very expe-rienced senior class,” saidassistant coach Matt Har-rison. “There is a lot ofhype surrounding Moell-er this year, andwith goodreason.”

Nymberg, junior Kev-inGeorge, and sophomoreCooperHodge earnedAll-American accolades lastseason. Junior Noah Wo-robetz and sophomore Ja-cob Peloquin, both return-ingstatequalifiers,willbecounted on to score sig-nificant points, said Har-rison.

After consecutiveeighth-place finishes atthe Division I state meet,the Crusaders are expect-ing to crack the top five.Nymberg (100 fly) andGeorge (500 free) will tryto defend their individualdistrict championshipswhile helping lead relayteams to the podium. TheCrusaders have talent, ex-perience, and depth, withthe largest roster in pro-gramhistory,accordingtoHarrison.

HAMILTON CO. — The“Game with a Cop” pro-gram is off to one heck ofa start.

The Bengals and Redsteamed up with the Ham-ilton County Sheriff’s Of-fice to send 12 studentsfrom Cincinnati’s North-west Local School Dis-trict, two unpaid volun-teer police officers andtwo volunteers from theschool to the HamiltonCounty suite at PaulBrown Stadium to watchthe Bengals’ 49-9 disman-tling of theNewYork JetsOct. 27.

Sheriff Jim Neil, alongwith the architect of theprogram, Chief DeputyMark Schoonover, intro-duced the program at aNov.4pressconferenceatPBS. Reds COO Phil Cas-tellini, Bengals directorof business developmentBob Bedinghaus, North-westLocalSchoolDistrictSuperintendent MarkFarmer and ColerainHighSchoolstudentsDes-tyne Watson and MaiyaHarrell joined the offi-

cers at the press confer-ence.

“It was a very fun ex-perience getting to meetthe police officers,” Har-rell said. “Before I was al-ways scared to talk tothem,butnowIknowtheyare just people like us.”

It was the first time ei-ther Harrell or Watsonhad been to a Bengalsgame.

The idea stemmedfrom the “Shop with a

Cop”program,whereeco-nomically challengedchildren from all over thecounty have the opportu-nity to shop at a local de-partment storewith a uni-formed officer aroundChristmas time.

“Itwas just averygoodexperience all they wayround and it’s very impor-tant for thesheriffandI tofoster relationships be-tween the sheriff’s officeand the communities in

Hamilton County and Ithink this is onegreatwayto do that,” Schoonoversaid, who spent roughly ahalf hour at the Oct. 27contest along with Neil.

Over the final four reg-ular season games (andpossibly a home playoffgame or two) at PBS, stu-dents fromWintonWoods,Deer Park, MountHealthy and Norwoodhigh schools will attendgames in the suite.

“We love having thesefolks down here,” Beding-haus said. “Wehave an ex-cellent working relation-ship with the sheriff’s of-ficeand theCincinnatiPo-lice Department and theopportunity to bring somekidsdownhere thatwouldotherwise not have an op-portunity to come to ourgame, much less have anopportunity to enjoy thegame from a suite, issomething that we em-

braced right away.”When April rolls

around, the “Game with aCop” program will pro-vide tickets forroughly40of the Reds’ 81 homegames.

“Really for us this wasa no-brainer in terms of aprogram to get involved,”Castellini said. “…It’s justone of the many thingswe’redoinginthecommu-nity thatwe’reproud tobeinvolved with, especiallywith the underprivilegedkids.”

While the full programplans are yet to laid on pa-per in terms of moreschools being involved,this is just the beginningfor a programwith a verybright future.

“This is an importantprogram to use in thesheriff’s office and it’salso important to theyouth of Hamilton Coun-ty,”Neil said. “…Thiswillgrowcountywide, region-al wide and it will involvea number of school dis-tricts as well as a numberof police departments andit’s going to be a win-winfor our region.”

The Indians won theSouthwest Ohio SwimLeague and the MiamiValley Conference lastseason. Second-year headcoach Benson Spurlinghas improved overallnumbers and solid experi-ence heading into the newcampaign.

“We’ve got 10 morekids out this year than wehad last year,” Spurlingsaid. “We’re ahead ofwhere we were this timelast year. My expectation

is thatwe’ll keep building,keep growing and keepgetting better. We defi-nitely want to have morepeople at state this year.”

Single payer is a monopolyMany people are calling for

a government-run single payertype of health insurance. Howmany of those people wouldcall for it if it were run by abusiness?

We should take some time tolook at reality. The plain truthis that either would be bad.Let’s look at the facts. I am nota fan of anything run by thegovernment due to the normalinefficiencies of limited fi-nancial and ethical controls.Reality tells us that govern-ment control means payoffs topolitical donors. It also meanslittle financial control due tothe false premise that anythingthe government runs is donefor the benefit of all citizens. Itreally means that it is done to

create votingblocs to per-manently se-cure positionsfor politicians.

Enough ofthe failures ofgovernment.Let’s look atthe problemsof a corporatemonopoly in

the same position. And, let usassume that the corporateentity is totally honest, at leastto begin with. How long willthat honesty stand the pres-sures of the incentives of prof-its, payments to providers,legal claims, threats from com-promised elected persons tocreate competition, pleas for

vital and/or questionable re-search and demands fromsuppliers for preferences orhigher prices? That solution isalso not in our interest.

The obvious answer is tocreate a competitive system. Iam in the situation where Ihave changed an insuranceprovider. This is because one ofmy preferred doctors will notbe covered in my former plan.My new provider has offeredeverything I want in a plan thatfits my needs andmy budget.It is with a company that manyof my friends have and arevery pleased with. I can bereasonably sure that they willwant to keep me as a customer.

As a former businessman, Iamwell aware that competition

creates efficiencies and cus-tomer satisfaction. There is noquestion that a competitivesystem generates choices andcontrol of costs that are notfound in either a governmentor private monopoly.

When we apply for a lifeinsurance policy, our accep-tance and rates are based onour age and condition. Theseare factors that should alsoapply to health insurance. Peo-ple who have poor health habitsshould be made responsible fortheir poor choices. That wouldcause a healthier populationand lower costs.

Pre-existing conditionsshould be covered by insurancepurchased prior to birth, pref-erably at conception. The cost

would be very small and han-dled by special firms that cov-er it in perpetuity. It shouldremain in effect when the cov-ered person purchases a per-sonal policy.

While the conditions mayrequire some consideration, atransfer of the small amount onthe original policy would elim-inate political arguing. This is acost that the public shouldwillingly accept. My sugges-tion is that the cost would becovered by a tax on politicaladvertisements. How is thatfor creating honesty and effi-ciency?

Cincinnati remains the 10thpoorest city in the country,according to the U.S. CensusBureau.

Carla, a Cincinnati residentwho works 10-hour days, sixdays a week, while taking careof eight great-nieces and neph-ews counts on the extra helpshe receives from the Fre-estore Foodbank to care forand put food on the table forher family.

“It’s a great help. It means alot to me. It helps to stretchthe rest of the food. The Fre-estore Foodbank means every-thing to me. It’s part of mysurvival,” she said.

The holiday season is uponus, and our city must continuesupporting those in need nowand year-round. I am proud tolive in Cincinnati and havemuch gratitude towards thoseorganizations that devote theirtime, energy, and livelihood to

help individ-uals and fam-ilies in ourcity, especiallythe FreestoreFoodbank.

The poorand the strug-gling are ourneighbors,Carla is ourneighbor. Peo-ple in our com-

munity must face the harshreality of hunger and foodscarcity daily. Even those thatare fortunate enough to havejobs still struggle to makeends meet as the cost of foodand expenses continue to in-crease.

My family, our teammem-bers, and our guests havegrown up in this community.To look at our neighborhoods –in our backyards, and see thestruggles families have to face

in order to make ends meet, isdisconcerting. It is our respon-sibility to come together tohelp those in need. We as acommunity can work as a teamto fight hunger.

I regularly visit our 63 piz-zerias, from our BoudinotAvenue location to Price Hillto Anderson Township to For-est Park, to meet with guestsand teammembers, to listen totheir stories about their fam-ilies, their interests, their suc-cesses and sometimes, theirhardships. While many fam-ilies who frequent our pizze-rias can afford a hot meal, Ihave heard of challengingtimes when putting food on thetable was a struggle for them,their families or friends.

During this holiday season,LaRosa’s is once again proudto support the Freestore Food-bank of Cincinnati to fighthunger right here in our own

backyard. Serving more than300,000 people annually in 20counties across Ohio, Ken-tucky and Indiana.

The Freestore Foodbank isthe Tristate’s largest foodbankdistributing more that 19 mil-lion meals annually. The or-ganization provides emergen-cy food assistance to mre than7,200 individuals per monthfrom its Customer ConnectionCenter in Over-the-Rhinealone.

Each of our pizzerias arselling Buddy Cards (our two-for-one pizza discount card)for the benefit of the FreestoreFoodbank. We will donate $5from the sale of every $10Buddy Card directly to theFreestore Foodbank and thenourishment and comfort theyprovide to those who trulyneed help in our community.

Ultimately, our contributionwill help support the Freestore

Foodbank’s annual goal todistribute 16.2 million poundsof food to meet our region’sgrowing demand. We hopeyou’ll join us in our efforts tosurpass our 2012 effort of7,000 cards sold for Cincinnati.

Tea party not theproblem

Did I miss something?WhendidBruceHealeystart

writing under the pen nameJames Baker? The Baker col-umn of Nov. 27 could only havebeen written by someone notfrom this country, who pre-tends to know American histo-ry.

The article starts off with a“moronic ” rambling compar-

ing the tea party to the “Tali-ban.” I think he sides with theTaliban as being the better ofthe two. However, the tea partydoesn’t need it’s version of theFounding Fathers, it needs onlythe Constitution. This govern-mentwasn’tbasedonhowmuchthe federal government givesthe people. It was quite the op-posite. The founders thoughtthe federal government shouldbe limited. In fact, to summa-rize the 10th Amendment …

“The powers not delegatedto the United States by the Con-stitution… are reserved to thestates, or the people.”

Obamacare must be in hisConstitution.

Mr. Baker states his grand-father assured him that any-thingcouldbe fixed. Iwonder ifhis grandfather was familiarwith Neville Chamberlain(Bruce’s countryman)? Did heagree this is what we have to dofor “peace in our time”? I doubtit. Or in this situation for fairand good health care.

Finally, he says the real Re-publicans (known as RINOs bytea partiers) should throw thebumsout.Well 5million conser-vatives didn’t vote in the lastelection. How did you do?

So Mr. Baker you don’t haveto throw them out, they alreadyleft.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dec. 4 questionWhat is your favorite Christ-

mas/holiday song, TV show,movie or performance? Why doyou like it?

“My favorite Christmassong is a combination of ‘Peaceon Earth’ and ‘Little DrummerBoy.’ It was a duet done by aunique collaboration of BingCrosby and David Bowie.

“My favorite movie has tobe ‘A Christmas Story’ as it istimeless although set in the1940s. It is repeated every yearand watched by a new genera-tion annually. Go figure!”

T.D.T.

“’The Little Drummer Boy’is a favorite because he hadn’tanymaterial thing togive toJe-sus, so he played for him, giv-ing what he could give. The pa-rum-pa-pum-pum is also agreat onomatopoeia”

TRog

“‘White Christmas’ and ‘It’sa Wonderful Life’ are my twofavorite Christmas classicmovies, but nothing is betterthan singing ‘Silent Night’ atthe end of our candlelight ser-vice at church on ChristmasEve. Merry Christmas, every-one!”

R.W.J.

Nov. 27 questionThe Ohio House has passed a

bill which would redefine self-defense and circumstanceswhere the use of force trumpsthe duty to retreat to public set-tings, such as stores and streets.Under current law, residentsneed not retreat before usingforce if they are lawfully in theirhomes, vehicles or the vehicle ofan immediate family member. Isthis good legislation? Why orwhy not?

“98 out of every 100 gundeaths are not caused by rob-bers, rapists and murderers?Wow, I’d like to know wherethose numbers came from.

“As to armed guards not be-ing in schools? Didn’t work outinSandyHookoranyothergunfree zone did it. Theater in Col-orado ring a bell?

“And white people being

paranoid and prejudiced?Everhear of theknockout game? It’swhen you sucker punch someunsuspecting victim whenthey’re not looking to try andknockthemoutwithonepunch.It’s resulted in a few deathsalso. One of the latest victimswas an elderly white grand-mother. It’s also called polarbear hunting. Why you mayask?Because the vastmajorityof perpetrators are black andtheir victims are white. Trylooking ituponYoutube, seemsthe thugs like to film their ac-tivities. You only get the re-spect you earn, not the respectyou demand or think you areentitled to.

“No one is forcing you tobuy, have, or carry a gun forprotection. What gives you theright to take away or restrictmy decision/right to protectmy life?

“No this bill doesn’t go farenough. It needs to exempt youfrom being sued in civil courtby an ambulance chasing vul-ture If you are charged andfound not guilty or not chargedforprotectingyourselforsomeother person’s life.

“Guns save as well as takelives. Just as locksonlykeepanhonest person honest. And badguys aren’t going to pay atten-tion to anygun laws, now, in thefuture or ever.”
