As you plan yourThanksgiving meal thisyear, remember familiesin the community whoneed a hand.
SON Ministries canhelp you help others. It isan emergency food pan-try that serves familiesand children within theNorthwest Local SchoolDistrict.
Carol andWaltWatson,directors of the communi-ty pantry housed atGroesbeck United Meth-odist Church, 8871 Cole-rain Ave., say the needwas great this year. CarolWatson said she still ismaking a final count, butthe total families servedmay reachmore than 200.
Local schools, publicand private, as well aschurches have donatedfood items and Carol saysthat’s whatwhatmade theThanksgiving meals pos-sible. The ministry onlyhas a few weeks between
Thanksgiving and Christ-mas to restock those pan-try shelves.
One way to help re-stock them is a new part-nership with Meijer’sSimply Give program.The campaign encour-ages customers to buy $10Meijer food pantry giftcards, which are convert-ed into Meijer food-only
gift cards and given to alocal pantry.
In this case, SON Min-istries will benefit fromdonation cards bought atthe Stone Creek Meijerstore through Jan. 4.
Ifyouwant toprovideameal, pack a bag withthree cans of corn, greenbeans, peas or carrots,three cans of fruit, onebox instant stuffing, onebox instant mashed pota-toes, one can cranberrysauce, three cans of soupor beef stew, two boxes ofmacaroni and cheese, onebox brownie mix, one jaror pack of turkey gravyand a can of sweet pota-toes. Carol says cash do-nations that help buy giftcards to provide meat orpoultry are always wel-come.
Volunteers, who sortdonations, stock pantryshelves and help assem-ble holiday meal pack-ages, are always wel-come, too.

About 70 township res-idents came to the meet-ing at Struble ElementarySchool to hear officialstalk about the possibilityof partnering to build aproject similar to one theCMHA opened in MountHealthy in January.
The Reserve on SouthMartin in Mount Healthy,completed this year, wasfully leased on the firstday applications were ac-cepted.
Geoff Milz, Colerain
Township director ofplanning and zoning, saysthe area of Jonrosewherethe project is being con-sidered has had a numberof problems and com-plaints with propertymaintenance and crime.The area under consider-ation would be the “S”curve of Jonrose on bothsides of the street.
One possibility wouldbe to close the top of Jon-
rose Avenue where itmeets Colerain Avenue,building a new accessroad through thepropertythat once housed a veteri-narian’sofficeonBanningRoad.

South Martin Streetwas a chronic problemwith building code issuesand resident concernsfor nearly 40 years. Offi-cials from the city ofMount Healthy usedNeighborhood Stabiliza-tion Program funds torectify the issues facedin that area of the com-
munity.Colerain Township
Administrator Jim Row-an said themeetingwas agood first step and thetownship got good feed-back from the peoplewho live in the neighbor-hood around the projectunder consideration.“We will continue to dia-log with the CMHA,” hesaid.
Rowan said there aresome hard deadlinesahead in connection withgetting the property intothe control of the devel-opers so Moving OhioForward money can beused. There is a Maydeadline for those fundsto be spent. The CHMAwould also have to se-cure funding. Once thetownship knows the pro-ject can move ahead,there will be more com-munity meetings to talkabout the site and thelayout and traffic flow.
Milz said an undis-closed developer has se-
cured options on all butthree of the12 propertiesinvolved. Of the remain-ing three, one is in thecontrol of theDEA, one isin the midst of foreclo-sure and the other inbankruptcy. At least onewill be on the township’slist for demolition in De-cember. While he thinkstheprojecthas thepoten-tial to change the neigh-borhood for the good, hesays it’s not a certainty atthis point.
“This is not a donedeal,” he said. “There isstill a lot to do.”
While residents hadquestions and concernsabout traffic, egress, andhow the project will beadministered to insurethe project is limited tothe people it is built for,there was overall sup-port from those at themeeting.
Robert Tyra, wholives on Memory Lane,said he’s ready to see thetownship do something.
“It’s bad,” he said. “Myson witnessed a drive-byshooting there. This willprobably help propertyvalues. I don’t like theidea of increasing trafficon Banning Road,though.”
Another MemoryLane resident, BernieWayner, has lived in hishome since 1956 and haswatched the downwardslide of his neighbor-hood. He says he’spleased the township isresponding to neighborsin the area and he likesthe plan. “I think it couldwork,” he said. “Ithought they laid it outpretty well. Losing thetop of Jonrose is a smallprice to pay, in my opi-nion. ”
He says he will con-tinue attendingmeetingsas they are called to keepup with the plan as it de-velops.

Northwest High School hon-or students stepped out of theclassroomandonto thebanks ofthe Great Miami River Nov. 2,as part of the annual CleanSweep of the Great Miami Riv-er.
The river was high, so thegroup of 20 Northwest studentsworking along it at HeritagePark for the cleanup could notwork in the actual river bed.The volunteers walked alongthe banks, roads and in thewoods, collecting items.
The cleanup runs the lengthof theGreatMiami, fromIndianLake to the Ohio River, involv-ing volunteers in both ButlerandHamiltoncounties.Thepur-pose is not to just remove gar-bage that can be an eyesore, butto reduce the pollutant load thatcan be introduced into the riverand tributaries, which can con-taminate our water supply.
The Northwest contingentwas the largest number of stu-dent volunteers the CleanSweep has had locally. Theircumulative volunteer timecame to 62 hours.
Stream specialist BrianBohland program assistant CarrieGibbons were the HeritagePark site coordinators fromHamiltonCountySoilandWaterConservation District, and theyfacilitated the event, supplyingwaiver forms, trash bags,gloves, orange reflective safetyvests, and a safety orientation,while having on handwater andsnacks, liquid anti-bacterialsoap, and first aid supplies.
Additional bags were sup-plied for recyclables this year,and the student volunteers sep-arated out plastic, glass, andaluminum items from the gar-bage as they filled their bags.
Colerain Township Parks
employee Gary Lauer helpedcollect, load and haul the manyfilled trash bags and looseheavy or large trash items, in-cluding tires, to the large rolloffdumpsters rented for thisevent.
The volunteering studentswere divided into three groups,each led by an adult volunteerteam leader.
The self proclaimed “TrashTalkers,” led by John Kerr,cleaned up at the Blue RockRoad bridge and Crosby Park,while the “Northwest Dump-ster Divers” led by Mike andGinny Reifenberger scouredthe Heritage Park and DunlapRun areas, and “Team Bunga-bong” led by Brian Bohl and
Dan Heidl uncovered a thor-oughly trashed area under thestateRoute27bridgeonthebor-der of Hamilton and Butlercounties.
Of the115 tires retrieved thisyear, Mike Reifenberger “do-nated"30 tires hehadbeendrag-gingoutof theGreatMiamiRiv-er and piling up since the lastcleanup event, and Friends ofthe Great Miami/ OKI’s BruceKoehler worked to removemore than 40 tires at the NewMiami site.
Unusual items found includ-ed a broken toilet, at least fourdifferent sofas, several fullsized TVs, a daybed, and whatappeared to be an entire year’sworth of soiled disposable dia-
pers.The volunteers learned
about the impact that throwingcans, bottles and other trashinto the river can have on thewildlifeandhumanpopulations,andwhat they can do to becomegood environmental stewards.

PRESS PREPS HIGHLIGHTS
By Tom [email protected]
The basketballs havebeen rolled out for the2013-14 boys’ season andhere is a preview of howthe teams in the North-west Press coverage areaare shaping up:
ColerainCoach Kevin Higgins
graduated three of hisfour top scorers from hisregional semifinal teamlast season.
Senior guard KiereBennie, who missed eightgames last season due toinjury (Colerain went 2-6in those eight games), re-turns as the team’s lead-ing scorer from a seasonago at 8.7 point per game.The point guard dishedout 3.9 assists and shot42.2 percent from 3-pointland.
“He’s always been ascorer, but he deferred alittle more than we want-ed him to last year,” Hig-gins said of Bennie. “Ithinkhe’soneof thebetterguards in the city. He’s areally good shooter and Ithink he’ll have a reallybig year for us.”
Bennie’s supportingcast will involve TrevonMays, Marcus Allen andKelvinCookonce the foot-ball season is over.
The football aspect isan interesting one be-cause if the football teamreaches the Division Istate final Dec. 6-7, Hig-
gins could be runningwith a very thin team thefirst twogamesof the sea-son and beyond depend-ing on how quickly guyscan get in to “basketball
shape.”The Cards open the
season Dec. 3 at Milford.
La SalleComing off a regional
final appearance last sea-son, the Lancers andcoach Dan Fleming willhave to overcome what islikely a season-ending in-jury to their best player insenior guard Jeff Larkinif they hope to make an-other deep postseasonrun.
Larkin – who averagedmore than 17 points pergamelastseason-hadsur-gery to repair a torn ACLAug. 20 after injuringhimself in a preseasonfootball practice.
On top of that, second-leading scorer ConnorSpeed graduated, whichleaves the Lancers withnobodyonthecurrentros-ter that averaged morethan 6.1 points per gamelast season.
Jeff’s younger brother,
Jeremy, returns for hissophomore year as Flem-ing’s leading scorer and aguy who plays ferociousdefense, leading theGreater Catholic LeagueSouth with more than twosteals a game during hisfreshman campaign lastseason.
Senior Tim Bell is anathletic forward whoscored in double digitsfive times last season,with two of them comingduring the Lancers’ post-season run.
Freshman C.J. Flem-ing isone towatch, andac-cording to coach Fleming,he “has a chance to bereally good.”
Senior Blake Simpson(55) gives Fleming a de-fensive presence insideafter recording 55blocked shots last season,leaving him just 26 shy ofWalt Gibler’s GCL Southrecord of 76.
The Lancers - rankedNo. 2 in The Enquirer Di-
vision I preseason areacoaches’ poll - open up theseasonDec.6againstRog-er Bacon.
Mount HealthyJ.J. Clark enters his
third season as coach ofthe Owls, coming off a 4-19 season.
Clark will be withoutthree of his top four scor-ers from last season asKobe Brown and LeonCurrie-Davis transferredout of the school and La-rod Johnson graduated.
The good news is lead-ing scorer Brandon Birchis back for his junior cam-paign after posting 9.4points per game duringhis sophomore season.
Senior Andrew Wil-fongreturnsafteraverag-ing 5.4 points and 3.0 re-bounds a game last sea-son, while fellow seniorKenny Glenn – who ap-peared in 21 games lastseason–will look tohaveabigger impact this seasonafter putting up 3.0 pointsand 2.0 rebounds a gamelast season.
Much of the remainingroster will come to fru-itionafter thefootball sea-son ends. Clark expects toget contributions from ju-nior Milan Lanier, whowas second on the teamwith 4.4 rebounds pergame last season.
Senior Tyree Elliott is
expected to take the court
for the first time since hisfreshmen year when hewas second on the team inscoring (9.6 ppg) and re-bounding (4.2 rpg) whileleading the Owls withmore than two steals pergame.
“I like our team sizeand athleticism,” Clarksaid.
The Owls open up theseason at home Dec. 2against Amelia.

Seniors Darius Hub-bard, Charon Hill, AaronSims and Willie Robert-son are back, along withjuniors Germaine Brittonand Cody Roberson.
“We’ll see once itcomes game time,” Postasaid of how much the re-turning experience willhelp this season. “…Prac-tice-wise it’s huge. Theguys know what I expect,so this year they are kindof holding up expecta-tions for everybody else.”

MASON — ColerainHigh School’s footballteam managed just 135yards on four possessionsin the secondhalf of its 35-26 loss to Moeller Nov. 23in the Division I, Region 6semifinals at Mason HighSchool’s Atrium Stadium.
The Cardinals neverled andwereplaying frombehind for much of thegame; a position coachTom Bolden and his guyshaven’t been in all season.
“We couldn’t stopthem,”Bolden said. “Theygot a phenomenal offenseand a phenomenal de-fense. They are a greatfootball team.”
Colerain (12-1) trailed21-20 at halftime afterback-to-back DeTuanSmith-Moore touchdownsto end the second quarter,but were outscored 14-6and outgained 193-135 inthe second half.
“They kept our offenseoff the field in the secondhalf and the possessionswehadwedidn’t do a verygood with,” Bolden said.“Hats off to them, hats offto that offensive line andthat quarterback and theymade plays when theyneeded tomake plays.”
Moeller quarterbackGus Ragland knifed theCardinal defense all nightlong for 205 yards andfour touchdowns on theground. Ragland aver-aged more than seven
yards per carry.The 459 total yards al-
lowedwere themost Cole-rain had given up since aweek six win over Prince-ton.
Leading by one, Moell-er took the opening drive
of thesecondhalf67yardsfor a touchdown in just sixplays to go up 28-20. Cole-rain couldn’t recover.
“It was a big debate atthe beginning of the gameto take the ball or kick itand we took the ball,” Bol-
den said. “We just couldn’tfinish some drives andwejust couldn’t get the mo-mentum. We were justplaying from behind.”
It’sthesecondseasonina row the Crusaders elim-inated the Cards. Moellerbeat Colerain 24-21 in the
regional final last season.“Here’swhat thesekids
needtobeproudofandthepeople of Colerain need tobe proud of: They need tounderstand now we aresitting here talking aboutthe Moeller-Colerain ri-valry,” Bolden said. “A
couple years ago we weretalkingabouttheColerain-St. Xavier rivalry and be-fore that we were talkingabout Colerain-Elder.Well, there’s one constantto those thingsand it’sCol-erain and we take pride inthat.”

LOCKLAND — At firstglance, the final score ofthe Loveland-MountHealthy Division II, Re-gion 6 final game at Lock-land Roettger Stadiummight have been predict-able. It was anything but.
The Owls led the top-seeded Tigers 28-14 with5:40 to play in the gamebefore Loveland ran-off21 straight points to se-cure the 35-28 victoryNov. 22.
“They took the (mo-mentum) and they neverlet it go,” Mount Healthycoach Arvie Crouch said.“We had some turnovers;we didn’t take care of theball and that will get youbeat every time in agamelike this.”
Loveland cut the leadto 28-21after a LukeWad-dell 10-yard touchdownrun. On the Owls’ nextpossession quarterbackDavid Montgomery waspressuredandhispassat-tempt was intercepted.Two plays later GunnerGambill punched it infrom a yard out and thescore was tied at 28 with3:49 to play.
Mt. Healthy lookedlike they might grab alate lead,butseniorTyreeElliott – who was in atquarterback for the in-juredDavidMontgomery– coughed up the ball attheTiger19 andLovelandlinebacker Mike Weberscooped it up and re-turned it 81 yards for thegame-winning touch-
down with 1:16 left in thecontest.
“I’m proud of myboys,” Crouch said.“They played their(butts) off, but hats off toLoveland. They did anoutstanding job of com-ingbackandwinning thatgame.”
The loss signals theend of the high schoolfootball career’s for 18seniors on the Mt.Healthy roster. While notall of them contributedlike an Elliot or the Lack-ey brothers – Jordan andJustin – the entire groupplayed a key part in theOwls going 20-4 over thepast two seasons andbringing home back-to-
back Southwest OhioConference champion-ships.
“These guys, it’s hardto say goodbye,” Crouchsaid of his seniors. “Theyare some incredible play-ers, but you know theyhelped us build the pyra-mid and we’re going tokeep climbing.”
The Owls (11-2) playedwith some added motiva-tionafter thedeathof for-mer football and trackstar Vince Turnage. The2012 Mt. Healthy gradwas gunned down andkilled in a home invasionof his mother’s houseNov. 17.
There was a momentof silence held in Turnag-
e’s honor before the startof the second quarter andtheplayersworeastickeron their helmets that said“V” along with “85,” Tur-nage’s former numberwhen he played at Mt.Healthy. Elliott donned aNo. 85 jersey instead ofhis traditional No. 10 jer-sey to honor his friendand former teammate.
“I think it was more ofa motivation thing thananything,” Crouch said.“Weplayedourheartsoutand it wasn’t anythingthat affected us thought-wiseoranything like that.It was tough dealing withthe drama, but we’re go-ing to miss (Vince); he’sone of our guys.”
Mount Healthy’s season endsin heartbreaking fashion

I enjoy voting, and I try tobe educated on the issues.However, as soon as I got tothe polling place I was con-fronted by a woman who wason the pathway to the votingplace, who asked me to sign apetition for a “right to work”law in Ohio.
She stated categorically,“In Ohio, workers are forcedto join a union or not work insome places.” Well, that iskind of true. The subtlety liesin what she did not tell people.
If a company becomesunionized, it is because therewas a democratic vote to see ifthe workers wanted the union.If they vote “yes,” then in-deed, you must join the union
to work there.This is onlylogical. If not,only the work-ers in theunion bear thecost of theunion, but allworkers bene-fit from payand benefitimprovementsmade by the
union on their behalf.It would not be fair, no mat-
ter what your beliefs areabout unions, to have someworkers pay to be members ofthe union, but all workersbenefit, whether they aremembers or not. In addition,
the fact that not all workersare members does one thingonly: weakens the ability tocollectively bargain. And that,I surmise is the real reasonbehind that so-called “right towork” petition.
Let me give a parallel ex-ample: If you have joinedCostco or Sam’s Club, you paya fee. For that fee, prices arenegotiated for bulk purchases,and you reap the benefits. Ifor one would be upset ifSam’s Club turned around andsaid that they were going to letpeople in the door who are notmembers, but expected cur-rent members to continue tobear the cost so “everyone canshop here.”
I daresay the lady with thepetition at my voting spotwould have a harder timeconvincing the well-heeledIndian Hill folks that she had apetition we should sign “be-cause in Ohio shoppers areforced to join a club or notshop in some places.”
I for one am tired of thispolitical badgering in votingplaces. Once inside, I had tolisten to some dreadful borespout off his beliefs aboutvoter registration and ID lawsto some of the workers, whichI suspect is not allowed within100 feet.
I have nothing against freespeech. However, the votingplace is sacred, and it is where
we are all equal, and all ex-press our ultimate opinions,silently. I don’t want to sign apetition, be told who is thebest candidate or listen toyour views on anything – Iwant to vote, based on what Ihave learned and read. I de-cided my vote before I gotthere. So shut up and vote.
By the way, when I said tothe lady I would not sign herpetition she looked at me as ifI had vomited on her shoes. Iwish I had argued with her,but, you see, it was a votingplace and I think these dis-cussions are not appropriate.

Nov. 20 questionDoyou think President Obama
will be able to keep his promisethat Americans will be able tokeep canceled health insurancepolicies for a year as companiesand consumers adjust to the newdemands of the health care law.Why or why not?
“Based on his Presidency Iam not encouraged that Obamawill keep any promises exceptto provide Citizenship and enti-tlements to illegalaliens thus in-creasing the number of votersfor his party.
“However in this case thanksto formerPresidentBill Clinton(and many others)
“IseeObamafixingtheaptlynamed Obama “Care” to allowfolks to keep their current in-surance and or cancelled insur-ance.
“I hope it is fixed soon andfor more than just one year as-suming Obamacare lasts thatlong. Go Figure!”
T.D.T.
“If yougoback in history, So-cial Security was establishedfor when those reached retire-ment therewould be somemon-ey there for you, not an amountto support you but, to havesomething.
“ThisObamaCare is thepoli-ticians answer to the problemwithSS, thegovernmentwillde-cide for you if you need heartsurgery or just let you die off.
“There was money in SS andthe politicians saw all this mon-ey and started all kinds of wel-fare programs with this money,now that SS is in trouble this ishow your elected officials an-swer to the problem.
“The hard fact of the matteris if you die because you didn’thave the heart surgery then thegovernment doesn’t have to payout SS to you or your family!
“Think about it, does Wash-ington, D.C. really care about
your retirement years?“The answer is no! Do they
have the same health insuranceyou are going to get? No!
“They will have a separateinsurance than you and I! Thinkabout this when you go to vote!If you don’t vote then shut up!”
J.M.B.
“Can we all stop and take abreath right now? There hasbeen so much bashing of thepresident that I don’t want tohear it any more.
“Irecognizethat thenewsys-tem is not working.Many timesin my life I have experienced acomputer program needingtime to actually work.
“I also recognize that manypeople are waiting to enroll inhealth care and that many peo-ple cannot afford to lose thehealth care they currently en-joy.
“I do believe this situationwill improve, the president’spromisewill bekept andwewillall get what we need.

NEXT QUESTIONThe Ohio House has passed a billwhich would redefine self-defense and circumstanceswhere the use of force trumpsthe duty to retreat to publicsettings, such as stores andstreets. Under current law,residents need not retreat be-fore using force if they arelawfully in their homes, vehiclesor the vehicle of an immediatefamily member. Is this goodlegislation? Why or why not?

The drive along Interstate275 is the scene of a battlefield.Thousands of giant soldiersare in a battle to save theirlives. Unfortunately, the ene-mies are winning.With toomany forces working againstthem, the soldiers don’t stand achance. They need replace-ments.
The drive, that once provid-ed an awe-some view ofexpansivegreenery, isnow a scene ofbarren andbroken limbsandmasses ofdead or dyingtrees.Throughoutthe Tristateregion, thou-sands of trees
are caught in a battle againstdisease, insect infestations andinvasive species. The emeraldash borer, an invasive beetlewhich bores into trees anddisrupts the flow of nutrients,is now attacking the nine spe-cies of native ash throughoutthe region.
In total, more than 20mil-lion trees will inevitably be lostto the emerald ash borer in theTri-State region within the next10 years.
Other insects are alsothreatening the tree canopy. InClermont County, the Asianlonghorned beetle is respon-sible for the loss of 9,000 trees.Although this beetle is expect-ed to be contained and eradi-cated, it has caused significantdamage, and its potential toreturn requires continuedvigilance. Another new threatis the walnut twig beetle,which carries a fungus fatal to
black walnut trees.Insect infestations are not
the only threats to the region’strees. Disease and other in-vasive species also endangerlocal forests. With the increaseof invasive plants like hon-eysuckle and the floweringpear, forests can’t regenerateand open areas can’t re-forestas they have in the past. Thetree seedlings that do surviveoften fall victim to deer, whosegrowing population consumeyoung plants before they havea chance tomature. With allthese factors working againstthem, trees and forests arestruggling
What can be done to keepthe trees we have and replacethe ones that are lost? TheOhio-Kentucky-Indiana Re-gional Council of Govern-ments, the Cincinnati Zoo &Botanical Garden, the GreenPartnership for Greater Cin-cinnati and the GreenUmbrel-la have joined forces to createTaking Root, a broad-basedcampaign to address the cur-rent and historic loss of theregion’s tree canopy. Througheducation and improvedman-agement, the campaign hopesto bettermaintain existingtrees and also to plant 2milliontrees by 2020 (one for every-one in the region).
This is not the first time theregion’s trees have been vic-
tims of a battle. In the late1800s, much of the region hadbeen de-forested. It was duringthis timewhen Cincinnatibecame a prominent leader inthemovement to conserve thenation’s forestry. In 1875, Cin-cinnati natives formed theAmerican Forestry Associa-tion. Seven years later, theFirst Annual Forestry Con-gress was held in Cincinnati. Itcalled for “the discussion ofsubjects relating to tree plant-ing: the conservation, manage-ment, and renewal of forests.”Two days later, the superinten-dent of Cincinnati schools,John B. Peaslee, closed allschools and every Cincinnatichild went to an abandonedvineyard and planted trees.That vineyard is now EdenPark.
In order to overcome theloss of the region’s tree canopy,the communitymust onceagain come together. Treescannot fight this battle on theirown, and their loss would re-sult in devastating environ-mental and economic conse-quences. Taking Root is lead-ing the battle to save the re-gion’s trees through acollaborative effort in whichcommunities will be providedopportunities to join the fightand help ensure that treescome out the winner.

Levy payingdividends fordistrict students
Levy paying dividendsfor district studentsIwatched as both North-westHighSchool andCol-erain High School ad-vanced in the footballplayoffs. Without the pas-sage of the Northwest Lo-cal School District levy inNovember 2012, neitherhigh school would have
even played a regular sea-son game.
Along with that levy’spassing, UC Medicalformed a sponsoring part-nership with both schoolsdonating $700,000 to assistschool facilities. Add to thefootball other extra curric-ular activities for boys andgirls, such as basketball,soccer, band, volleyball,tennis, and track, that levyassisted directly morethan 70 percent of the stu-
dents and indirectlyall of them.
Students still haveto pay $200 each forparticipating but thelife longmemoriesandbenefits far outweighthat cost. Not to men-tion the loyal fans whoattend these events.

Investors are quietly buy-ing up thousands of Great-er Cincinnati homes and
converting them to rentalproperties, filling a growingdemand but, some fear, chang-ing our communities forever.
Individuals and companiesare buying $5,000 foreclosuresin distressed urban neigh-borhoods and $360,000 four-bedroom homes in new sub-urbs. They’re targeting Hamil-ton County communities in-cluding Colerain and Delhitownships, North College Hilland Mount Healthy. In North-ern Kentucky, the cities ofNewport and Covington areseeing investor sales, too.
Investors see single-familyrentals as a good financial bet.
“The need will be out therefor a while,” said Scott Davis,president of real estate in-vestment firm Penklor Proper-ties. “People who did nothingwrong” lost their jobs andhouses in the economic down-turn, and many are gun-shyabout buying again even ifthey qualify to do so, he said.
Many streets across theregion now have four or morerentals on them, tucked amidowner-occupied houses wherefamilies have lived for yearsor decades.
The upside is that commu-nities have fewer vacant build-ings and more housing forthose who are renters bychoice or necessity. The down-side is that absentee ownerstend to let property conditionsslide, and families moving inlack an ownership stake in thecommunity.
“We’re firm believers thatwhat we need the most arepeople who are stable in theirhomes,” said Sister BarbaraBusch, executive director ofthe community housing groupWorking in Neighborhoods.“Home ownership does im-prove value.”
Housing crisis drivesdemand forsingle-family rentalhomes
Single-family rental in-vestors are making the classicconnection between supplyand demand – in this case, alarge supply of cheap proper-ties and a high demand forrental housing.
“You have a lot of dis-tressed homes coming out ofthis housing crisis, and thenyou have millions of displacedhomeowners who have transi-tioned to being renters, manyof whom would desire to live
in a single-family home still,even if they are renting,” saidDaren Blomquist, vice presi-dent at the national housingdata firm RealtyTrac.
More than 50,000 propertiesin Greater Cincinnati’s 15counties Cincinnati metro areahave been foreclosed or soldas short sales since the hous-ing downturn, according toRealtyTrac. Generally theformer owners can’t qualifyfor another mortgage for atleast three years.
Regina Carraher, 45, losther 2,400-square-foot WhiteOak home to foreclosure afterher marriage broke up, and inearly November she movedinto a house half the size inColerain Township. She wouldhave preferred a lower-main-tenance townhouse, but a de-tached home was important toher 15-year-old son.
“He promised to cut thegrass,” Carraher said.
It’s a tight fit with the twoof them, an 18-year-old daugh-ter, a Maltese dog and a cat.But for $865 a month, it works.
“We’re hoping for a freshstart,” Carraher said.
She rents from part-timeinvestors Michael and Heather
Ewers of Liberty Township.The Ewers, who work in salesby day, bought the house inlate August for an undisclosedamount and hired contractorsto replace the furnace, refin-ish the floors and upgrade theelectrical system.
Investors making wayfrom coasts to heartland
U.S. home ownership hit a16-year low last year, with 65.4percent of all households own-ing their homes, according toCensus data. Single-familyhouses are filling the newdemand for rentals, with 1.4million conversions occurringnationwide between 2009 and2011, according to the Amer-ican Housing Survey.
Investment in single-familyrentals started on the WestCoast and hopped over thecountry to Atlanta, Florida andthe Carolinas, Blomquist said.Now, investors are makingtheir way to the heartland.
Single-family rentals are anattractive investment becausethey produce monthly incomeas well as a good possibility ofappreciation when sold. Homevalues aren’t likely to skyrock-et in Cincinnati the way they
do out West or in Florida, butthey’re also starting far lower.
“We tell (California inves-tors) you can get a propertyhere for $65,000, and theythink they’re going to be dodg-ing bullets,” Michael Ewerssaid. “What the Midwest has tooffer is you’re not going to seethe huge spikes, but you’re notgoing to see the huge drops,either.”
The Ewers, together with aCalifornia partner, are work-ing on their fifth house. Theybuy distressed properties, hirecontractors to rehab them andsell the finished products –complete with tenants – toout-of-state investors.
Cincy Area Properties own-er Jesse Brewer buys, rehabsand manages about a dozensingle-family rentals a yearboth on behalf of investors andfor his own portfolio. He alsomanages about 700 single-family rentals and apartments.
Penklor Properties, thelargest local company in thefix-and-rent arena, works withseveral hedge funds, includingIntrepid Capital and Five TenCapital, both from California.Penklor identifies houses forthe funds to buy, then rehabs,rents and maintains the prop-erties on their behalf.
Penklor is expanding quick-ly in response to investor de-mand, said president ScottDavis, a former Procter &Gamble engineer. The Spring-dale-based company was in theprocess of buying or fixing up70 properties in early Novem-ber.
Some communityleaders concerned
Investors are obviouslylooking for a profit, but theyalso defend their work as abenefit to the community.
Properties’ values rise afterthey’re renovated, which inturn means that schools andmunicipalities collect moretaxes, Davis said.
“If we can build up the taxbase and make money in theprocess, it’s a win-win,” hesaid.
Several local homeownerssaid they weren’t concerned
about having rentals on theirstreet.
“I didn’t even know – Ithought they were buying andflipping them,” said KevinBlucker, 39, whose family offour lives on Coogan Drive inColerain Township, near sever-al investor-owned properties.“As long as they’re not rentingto trouble-makers it doesn’tbother me any.”
Colerain doesn’t mind beingan investor target, said GeoffMilz, the township’s directorof planning, building and zon-ing.
“Young families want torent in Colerain,” he said. “Wehope those folks who rent herewill like it so much that theychoose to stay and buy.”
Looking aheadto the end game
The rush to rental conver-sions won’t last, most expertsagree. The supply, in partic-ular, is expected to dry up asforeclosure rates continuetheir steady decline. However,the volume of unsold fore-closures that banks have intheir “shadow inventory” is abig unknown, Davis said.
The obvious exit option forinvestors is to sell their rentalhomes if and when prices riseto an attractive level. Thequestion, RealtyTrac’s Blom-quist said, is when.
Brewer plans single-familyrehabs assuming he or hisinvestor will hold the propertyfor three to five years. If aroof appears to have less thaneight years of life left, forinstance, he will replace it.
“Then the speculation isonce the dust settles you sellthem for a profit,” Brewersaid.
However, that assumesprices and sales continue togain steam. Many think single-family rentals could be with usfor a while as lifestyles andcareers continue to becomemore mobile.
“It’s not going to go away,”Busch said. “Liking it or notliking it, we’re eventuallygoing to figure out how to dealwith it.”

NOVEMBER 27, 2013 • NORTHWEST PRESS • B3LIFE
I got some unexpect-ed exercise today. Thewind was blowing sohard when I hung upthe clothes that it liter-
allyblewmost ofthem offthe linerightafter Iput theclothes-pins onthe lastof thesocks.
Now I didn’t mind chas-ing the dish towelsacross the field, but itwas a little embarrass-ing to see my “unmen-tionables” flying freelytoward the road. Mygirlfriend called melater and said she wasdriving by when all thishappened. “Mademechuckle,” she said. Iguess it’s what we call acloud with a silver lin-ing.
Giovanna’sgluten-freemeatballs andspaghetti
You know her asJoanne Trimpe, authorof two Holy Chow cook-books, the first of whichis “Holy Chow” and thesecond, new one is “Ho-ly ChowGluten Free.”Youmay recognize heras a television personal-ity and personal chef toArchbishop DennisSchnurr. I know her asGiovanna, and we havebecome friends andcolleagues. Giovannadecided to write anoth-
er cookbook with glu-ten-free recipes be-cause ArchbishopSchnurr is gluten intol-erant, yet enjoys goodfood.
“I was nervous atfirst. I didn’t knowmuch about gluten intol-erance so I knew I need-ed to learn how to cookgluten free, but with allthe flavor of my origi-nal recipes,” she said.Well, Giovanna hasnailed it. Her book hasreally good, doablegluten-free recipes,from appetizers likecrab cakes that startyour meal with flair todinners that are enter-tainment worthy. Hereggplant Parmesan isunbelievably good.There’s a special sec-tion from friends andfamily. I contributedrecipes for the dessertsection. Every recipehas a photo along with a
Bible quote relating toit, so you are feedingboth body and soul.
I chose Giovanna’smeatball and spaghettirecipe since that’s auniversal favorite and anice change from all theturkey we eat this timeof year. Check out herwebsite http://holychow-book.com/ for informa-tion to purchase thebook. Also available atJoseph-Beth Booksell-ers in Rookwood andsells for $16.95.
Preparemeatballs
11⁄2 pounds of groundchuck
1 teaspoon kosher salt1⁄2 teaspoon groundpepper
1 egg white11⁄2 tablespoons choppedfresh parsley or 1teaspoon dry
1⁄2 cup soymilk or any typelactose-free milk
11⁄2 cups bread crumbs
Now, this is where itis important to use glu-ten-free bread crumbs.You can buy frozengluten-free bread and,using your food proces-sor, make 11⁄2 cups.
Work the meatballmixture with yourhands. Keep hands wetwhile rolling meat intoabout two-inchmeat-balls. Place meatballson a large plate whileyou finish. This shouldyield about 18-20 meat-balls.
Prepare simple to-mato sauce
Put 1⁄4 cup extra vir-gin olive oil in largesauce pan onmediumheat. Stir in 1⁄2 cupchopped onions andcook for 3 minutes. Add3 cloves minced garlicand cook for only 2 or 3minutes and be carefulnot to burn garlic. Add 2teaspoons Kosher saltand 1 teaspoon pepper
and simmer for another2 or 3 minutes. Thenadd two 32 oz. canswhole tomatoes,crushed with yourhands (or fresh toma-toes that are equal tothe same amount). Cookfor 5 minutes. Add 1teaspoon dry basil orabout 8-10 fresh basilleaves. Now add two15oz. cans tomato sauceand two 6 oz. cans toma-to paste. Rinse out cansto get the most of thesauce. Measure out twocups of the juice/saucewater and add that tosauce. Simmer on lowfor 20 to 30 minutes formarinara sauce only, or45 minutes to an hour ifyou are adding un-cookedmeatballs.
Instant vanillasauce for breadpudding, cake, etc.
OK, trust me on thisone. Instead of makingvanilla sauce with eggs,etc. from scratch, justmelt good quality vanil-la ice cream slowlyuntil it’s slightly warm.What you’ll wind upwith is a not-too-thicksauce that is deliciouson bread pudding ordrizzled into hot choco-late.

Mixing classroom and realworld experience, a group ofstudents and professors fromthe College of Mount St. Jo-seph recently went to NewYorkCitywhere theymetwithUnited Nations representa-tives, and participated in In-ternational Youth Day withUNSecretaryGeneralBanKi-moon.
The trip marks the sixthyear that Mount students andfaculty have had the opportu-nity to learn more about eightUN development goals tobring more awareness andsupport for global issues, in-cluding universal primaryeducation, maternal healthand reducing poverty.
“This trip is an excellentway for our students to haveinternational experience andto become aware of how ouractions have an impact on therestof theworld,” saidJimBo-dle, professor of psychologyand honors program director
at the Mount.Mount student Samantha
Buschle, a senior English ma-jor from Cheviot, said shehopes to use what she learnedabout some of the develop-ment goals into her future ca-reer as a teacher.
“Iwant to put someof thosegoals into action within myclassroom,” she said. “Thingslike making sure my studentshave a lunch every day andthat all boys and girls aretreated equally. Even if I can-not make a worldwide differ-ence, I can make a differencewithin the school that I teach.”
This year’s trip marked thefirst time Mount studentswere able to celebrate Inter-national Youth Day at the UN.
“Celebrating the day gaveus an opportunity to hearabout primary issues coun-tries such as India, Lebanonand Niger are experiencing,and how the UN is helping as-sist children in those coun-
tries,” said Sara Vice, a psy-chologymajor fromGlendale.
English professor Eliza-beth Bookser Barkley hasbeen co-leading the groupwith Bodle since the Mount’sprogram began.
“Over the fall semester,students will meet a series oflocal guests committed to theUN Development goals on is-sues such as the empower-ment of women, internationalfood programs and environ-mental sustainability. The stu-dentswill also take part in ser-vice learning opportunitiesthat allow them to see the im-pact of their work.”
The group of Mount stu-dents ranged from sopho-morestoseniorswithavarietyof undergraduate fields ofstudy. Each student was ableto apply for a scholarship of-fered through theMount’s Sis-ter Francis Marie ThrailkillCultural and Service Immer-sion Fund.
