Several fire departmentsare better equipped to treat afamily pet during a fire emer-gency, with the donation of 11animal oxygen masks by a lo-cal company.

Invisible Fence of Cincin-nati donated the masks to theSharonville, Blue Ash, Masonand Loveland Symmes depart-ments, members of the North-east Fire Collaborative.

The masks will be used totreat dogs that have sufferedsmoke inhalation during a fire.

Each kit has three masks ofvarying sizes, and SharonvilleFire Chief Ralph Hammonds

said the smallest size likelycould be used to treat a cat, aswell.

Blue Ash Fire Chief RichardBrown said he was happy tohave the masks, which will beavailable at all 11 of the collab-orative’s fire departments.

“Pets are part of our familyand we take care of our fam-ily,” Brown said.

The donation is part of thenational Project Breathe pro-gram, designed to provide thekits to fire departments in theUnited States and Canada.

“It’s always nice to have anopportunity to partner withbusiness,” Loveland SymmesFire Chief Otto Huber said, “toprovide services to our com-

munity.”“The masks are for emergen-

cy use,” Mason Fire Chief JohnMoore said, “after fire events ifthe family pet suffers smoke in-halation.”

THANKS TO EMILY SCHAFFER

The oxygen mask is shaped for adog's face, to provide oxygen incases of smoke inhalation. Threesizes were provided to treatdifferent breeds of dogs as well ascats.

Linda Crank learned to love thesmell of paint and turpentinewhile visiting her artist grandfa-ther in Chicago.

He’d surely be happy to see how well-received the paintings and drawings ofhis granddaughter have become.

Crank is one of some two dozen Gree-nacres Artists Guild members whosework is on display through Sunday, Nov.16, at the Greenacres Arts Center at8400 Blome Road in Indian Hill.

“My most rewarding project was re-vising and illustrating a literacy primerwhile I, my husband and two sonsworked overseas in Pakistan for 10years,” said Crank, director of commu-nications at the Presbyterian Church ofWyoming, in a statement prepared forthe Greenacres Artists Guild Art Show.

This the second year for the free artshow, which Jennifer Hoban, specialevents manager for the GreenacresFoundation, says has an interestinggenesis.

“In 2011, Greenacres produced andhosted the ‘100 Years of Art in Cincin-nati’ exhibit at the Greenacres ArtsCenter,” Hoban said.

“This highly acclaimed art showshowcased art from Cincinnati’s Gold-en Age (the last quarter of the 19th cen-tury) to the present.

“In the process of producing the ex-hibit, Greenacres discovered that there

was a void in the Cincinnati area for art-ists who are committed to the princi-ples, methods and traditions of Cincin-nati’s Golden Age,” Hoban said.

“Therefore, we teamed up with eliteprofessional living artists from the Cin-cinnati area who are focused on the tra-ditional approach to art and formed theGreenacres Artists Guild.”

Thirty percent of the money artistsguild members earn from sales of theirartwork at the Greenacres Arts Centergoes to the Greenacres Foundation’sbus transportation fund to ferry stu-dents from qualified schools to andfrom free Greenacres field trips.

Membership in the Greenacres Art-ists Guild is by invitation only.

The Greenacres Foundation is basedat 8255 Spooky Hollow Road in IndianHill.

SHARONVILLE — After a 2-8season, it can be difficult to findany bright spots. For PrincetonHigh School, the Vikings don’thave to look all that far.

Princeton competes in theGreater Miami Conference, oneof the bigger, more competitiveconferences in the state. TheVikings led the GMC in two sta-tistical categories.

Senior wide receiver Demar-cus Staley led in receivingyards (681) and sophomore de-fensive tackle Jamal Hines ledin sacks (8).

“I wish I had15 of these guys,”began Princetoncoach CalvinJohnson. “De-marcus brings apersonality tothe team. Hereally picks up

my spirit; that’s the type of kidhe is. Jamal’s more of a gentlegiant. He’s a teddy bear off thefield.”

Johnson noted that Staleydoesn’t have exceptional speed,but he brings an energy to thegame.

“He (Staley) goes all in, he’san effort kid,” said Johnson.

“He gives you everything he’sgot on every play.”

Sadly, Staley’s football ca-reer at Princeton is over, but themark he left will remain. Staleycaught 30 passes, four of themtouchdowns, and he averaged22.7 yards per reception.

Staley also brought a tough-ness to the Vikings.

“He played with a dislocatedfinger,” Johnson said. “Theytold him he had to sit out, he said‘tape it up’ and he playedthrough it.”

Johnson said after leadingthe GMC in yards, Staley shouldstart to see offers roll in, likelyfrom MAC schools.

Hines will be a junior nextyear, and his main focus will bein the weight room. On the field,Jamal has an ability to stay ac-tive and get pressure on thequarterback.

“He (Jamal) bends, slidesand glides around. He’s so flex-ible he’s able to get around line-men and make plays that otherpeople can’t make,” Johnsonsaid.

Apart from his imposing size(6-3) Jamal has some massivehands.

“He’s got these long paws,”Johnson said. “I’m shaking hishand; I’ve got big hands and Iget lost in his hands.”

Hines has a Division I body,Johnson said, but it’s going to beabout studying the game andhitting the weights.

“A lot of what he (Jamal) didwas on talent this year. If hestudies and improves his knowl-edge of the game he’s only goingto get better,” Johnson said.

Unfortunately, two stand-outs do not make up a team.Johnson and his team know this,all too well. But, the success of afew can energize many.

“I’m really excited about thefuture,” Johnson said.

“The only thing that reallymatters in the end is the teamcategory.”

This year a new organiza-tion, dedicated to boostingPrinceton athletics from theground up, began. Viking YouthAthletics was started by presi-dent and fifth-grade head coachRodney Harris with a lot ofhelp. Harris had been involvedwith Wyoming youth footballbut, instead, decided to invest inthe Princeton community. VYAwas accepted as part of GreaterMiami Youth Football Confer-ence (www.gmyfc.org) andplays the same school youthteams as Princeton HighSchool.

There are six football teamsand a variety of cheer squadsranging from the K-1 level up tosixth grade. This inaugural sea-son was very successful. TheK-1, second grade, third grade,and fifth grades all had winningseasons, with the second andfifth grades going undefeated.Tournaments are being playednow.

I write this article as a proudparent of my son, Nathan, start-ing center for the K-I team. Thishas been a great opportunity formy six year old to make friends,learn skills, gain discipline, andexperience a positive, hard-working team. His team alonehas five coaches for about 25boys, including K-I head coachand VYA vice-president, DavidWhite.

Leona, my lovely 10-year-old,has greatly enjoyed her cheerexperience. I think her high-light was cheering during thePrinceton vs. Sycamore varsitygame. She was so energized andencouraged by the studentcrowd in attendance. VYAcheer is headed by PHS coach,Tish Jones.

The volunteer staff is dedi-cated, positive and profession-al. They are building a strongfoundation which will serve thedistrict for many years to come.It will be exciting to see the dif-ference these youth make oncethey reach the high school levelto keep Viking pride alive.

WYOMING — It was a banner year for Wyo-ming High School soccer with the boys and girlsteams winning district titles.

Then came the regional tournament.On back-to-back days, the Cowboys were elim-

inated. The boys lost to Bellbrook 5-2 on Oct. 29and the day before the girls were shut out byMcNicholas 7-0.

It marked the first time coach Lauren Grub-er’s squad had given up more than two goals allseason.

“We knew going in that was going to be an up-hill battle,” Gruber said. “I’ve never seen a teammove off the ball like that. They were good. In myyears at Wyoming, that was hands down the bestteam I’ve seen.”

As disappointed as she was in the one-sided de-feat, she said it was probably fun for fans of thegame to watch the Lady Rockets.

As for her kicking Cowboys, they may beahead of schedule. A regional run was expectedmaybe in a couple of years. Instead, the youthfulcrew made it this year.

“We started six sophomores and a freshmanfor most of the year,” Gruber said. “We only grad-

uate two starters. We have a lot coming back andthey got a taste of what that success feels like. Ithink we have a group coming back that hasbought in to what it takes to get there.”

Topping the stats for Wyoming was sopho-more forward Kayla Hampton, who tied Madei-ra’s Shannon Williamson for the CHL scoringlead. The Cowboys were 5-1-1 in the league, be-hind Madeira and Indian Hill at 5-0-2.

In the end, their postseason run was longerthan Indian Hill’s and the same as the Madeira.

“The CHL year in and year out is one of thetoughest Division II leagues in the city,” Grubersaid.

Several girls picked up CHL accolades andsophomores Hampton and Jasmine Evans madeall-city. Now Hampton and freshman Jules Snow-den trade in their cleats for basketball shoes.Gruber assists Gerry Lackey coaching Wyominggirls basketball and Hampton was first off thebench for the Cowboys last season as a freshman.

“She could play any sport you put her in,”Gruber said. “I’ve never seen someone so moti-vated. She loves it. She’s all over the place. At aschool the size of Wyoming, you have to have mul-tisport athletes.”

The Wyoming girls finished 11-5-3 overall onthe soccer field.

St. Xavier rushed for187 yards in the first halfand held Central Crossingto just 21yards rushing on12 carries. Glines finishedwith 62 yards on sevencarries.

A 37-0 halftime leadmeant a running clock inthe second half and theBombers subbed out theirstarters.

“He (McFarlin) justgives us another dimen-sion with Ben (Glines) andRonnie (Fricke). Tonightwe got to sort of rest Benand Ronnie and we got tosee what Tyrone can real-ly do,” said Specht.

A roundup of reaction tolast week’s election results:

If buildings could talk“On behalf of this grand

building, let me say thank youto the citizens of HamiltonCounty and our supportersfrom across the region andthat nation. Community sup-port for Union Terminal hasbeen strong throughout thesummer and certainly in thelast days of the campaign. Thecitizens have spoken and theyhave proudly declared theirlove and appreciation forUnion Terminal.

“We look forward to forginga strong public-private part-nership with Hamilton Countyas we complete this journeythat started with the results oftoday’s election.”

– Douglass McDonald, presidentand CEO of Cincinnati Museum

Center, housed in Union Terminal. A

levy funding renovations to themuseum – Issue 8 – passed.

Note of thanks – and caution

“We have serious issuesfacing our country. Ohio fam-ilies and small businesses feeltoo strongly the uncertainty ofa still weak economy and theinsecurity of looming nationalsecurity threats.

“I’m honored that the peopleof Southern and SouthwestOhio have the confidence in meto represent their vision andtheir values in answering thesechallenges and working tomake our country a betterplace for everyone.”

– U.S. Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R -2nd District) after being re-elected

That’s not the ticket“Please, David Pepper,

please stop running already.Your unrealistic political ambi-

tions makes you look silly. AndTim Burke, please go awaywith Pepper. You’re terrible.Just terrible.”

– Marc Raab (on Cincinnati.com)“The Democrats in this

state need to do a far better jobvetting their candidates...Imean...really??? Fitzgeraldwent 10 years without a driv-er's license??? That is yourcandidate for freaking gover-nor????

“And, I agree with Marc-...David Pepper...you are not anappealing candidate...you arebland, you have no personal-ity...no one wants to vote foryou...PG Sittenfeld has somepersonality...the voters likehim...he is a far better candi-date than Pepper, Fitzgerald orany of the other deadheads theOhio Democratic Party threwin front of voters.”

Divorce is painful, evenwhen you can see it on thehorizon.

Within 42 months, suburbsaround the city of Cincinnati

have a majordecision tomake, but it’snot a typicalelection bal-lot choice.

The City ofCincinnatiand HamiltonCounty havea 1968 Met-ropolitanSewer Dis-trict oper-

ating agreement that ends inMarch 2018. At the recentquarterly meeting of ourFirst Suburbs Consortium ofSouthwest Ohio, I spoke toencourage my elected peersfrom other communities tojoin in a mutual effort to planour collective response towhat follows the likely spli-tup.

MSD has been owned bythe county but operated bythe city for 50 years, and isfunded by each propertyowner in the region who usessewer service. After the split,Cincinnati City Hall will lacktotal MSD control for thefirst time in a half-century.Let’s take time to plan and

negotiate from a position ofstrength as we suburbanelected leaders come to thetable on the county’s team.

Costs of the sewer up-grades mandated by ourcleanup consent decree havegenerated angry calls fromsuburban residents abouttheir bills. The recurring“rate shock” of a large annualrate increase for cleanupresulted from postponeddecisions of the 1950s and1960s. Today we are payingbillions of dollars to do thecleaning, storing and separat-ing that is necessary to re-duce wastewater entering theOhio River. Whichever enti-ties perform the MSD rolesafter March 2018 will have tocomply with those federalcourt orders.

Our county’s suburbanelected leaders have to de-cide, what ownership shouldwe and the county assert, andwhat bondholder assuranceswill be appropriate? This 42months’ advance notice al-lows elected officials outsideCincinnati city limits to de-termine what we want ourcounty government to doafter March 2018, assumingthe 1968 terms will inevitablybe revised.

The employees of the city-run MSD sewer operations

expected that their pensionswithin the city’s pension pro-gram are securely inside thecity program, but now maybe part of the Ohio PERSpensions paid to county andlocal non-Cincinnati employ-ees.

Do we as suburbs wantthat point of leverage to beutilized in our negotiationsfor the 2018 empowerment ofthe county? Would the remov-al of MSD workers impactthe city’s retirement systemas greatly as some fear that itwould? It’s a labor bargainingand fiscal planning issue.This is not scary, unless weignore its fiscal impacts untilthe last minute.

I am hopeful that my elect-ed peers from MSD-usingcommunities inside the coun-ty (but outside Cincinnati)will join in an effort to getour collective plans together.We would enlist the countycommission, and reassurebond holders and soon-to-retire MSD workers that theywill not be overlooked whenthe 2018 divorce occurs. Let’sstart planning for thechanges ahead!

Where does all your moneygo? The difficult question is,where does it come from?

Reality demands us to un-derstand the flow simply be-cause much is gone before itgets to us. As a business majorin college and having spentover 45 years in business, Ihave some answers. One of the

first things welearn in Eco-nomics 101 isthat money istransferredwhen value iscreated. Thisis true fromthe hourlyworker all theway up to thetop executive.The proceedsare distributed

according to the amount ofvalue created. The proportiondepends on a number of fac-tors including production andpayment for risks taken. It isthe lower income people wholose the most.

There is a major factor inwhere your money goes. It iswhat is taken from employersby the government. This is thevery high cost of taxes and thecosts of regulations. Thesemust be paid before money isdistributed to all of the em-ployees. Included in thesecosts are the fees to lawyersand accountants who are re-quired to manage the addedrisks and costs of regulations.

None of this creates value.

When all of these costs arecovered the reduced proceedsare distributed to the employ-ees accordingly to their valueadded. Recent figures showthat the working class of peo-ple are being hurt most by thiscontinuing recession. Wagesincrease minimally if at all.Many are keeping jobs simplybecause there is no alternative.Retirements are being put onhold due to the economy. Thisreduces opportunities foryounger workers.

Prices increase with theadded costs of governmentbeing shifted to business. Thewealthy have an advantage inthat they make purchasesmostly for convenience whilethe working folks stretch theirpurchases by priority. A reduc-tion in the costs of doing busi-ness would cause a large in-crease in hiring. With thatwould be higher pay due tocompetition.

I remember in my earlyworking days as plant managerkeeping salaries a bit higherthan local competition. Thereason? We retained workers.Those days are gone as work-ers have become a liability dueto government intervention.

History repeats itself. Youneed not look further thansome of the previously pros-perous countries in SouthAmerica to see the dictatorsfinancially enslaving people.

Edward Levy is a resident of Montgo-mery.

Involvement ofgovernment decreasesthe value of money

Edward LevyCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Nov. 5 questionThere is a proposal in the Ohio

Legislature to keep schools openyear-round. Is this a good idea?Why or why not?

“Because this is so unlikemy experience, and I reallyloved going to school, I wouldnot trade the summer workexperiences, and opportunityto go away from the structureof the class room for a while,for full time school years. I

recognize that some Asiancountries and others that havemore frequent, though short,‘vacation’ days, use the system.

“I am mostly interested inwhether the people I had, whowere excellent public schoolteachers, would have chosen toteach, without the opportunityto both have the extended timefor refreshing their own educa-tion or experience ‘life’ awayfrom the responsibilities ofbeing great educators. The

public buildings could certain-ly be used for adult educationor tutoring during the summermonths. Rents, paid by theusers, part time employmentfor many people, and the possi-bility that we might betterevaluate teachers by theirinterest in self improvement,all create different thoughplausible scenarios.”

Oct. 29 questionDid you or will you vote early

this year, or will you wait untilElection Day? Why?

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2014

Wyoming has presented its UrbanForestry, Beautification and HistoricPreservation Awards to several proper-ties that feature distinct trees, landscap-ing and extraordinary buildings.

The awards were presented at CityCouncil’s Oct. 20 meeting.

170 Burns Ave.Being the steward of a historic build-

ing is no small task – especially when thebuilding is over 10,000 square feet. TheWyoming Baptist Church has taken careover the years to maintain this beautifulbuilding, which was constructed in 1883.

Recent improvements include sensi-tive repairs to the historic slate roof, re-building of existing box gutters, andmaintenance of the iconic bell tower.

232 Burns Ave.

Since buying the property in 1990, JoeBowman and Shelley Kirk have paintedthe home a welcoming slate blue andadded a stylish rear addition. Recentlythe old dilapidated garage was torn downand replaced by an attractive new one.

Adding to the charm is a new picketfence, landscaping and a well- designedwalkway.

343 Chenora

Karen and Mark Kremzar have livedin their Chenora Court home for 14years. Their front yard has been trans-formed into the gorgeous, shady wonder-land that it is. The landscaping beganwith the removal of honeysuckle from alarge creek-like gulley that runs in frontof the property. There was so much hon-eysuckle that the Kremzars’ housecouldn’t be seen from the street. Furtherdemolition work included the removal ofa failing retaining wall.

The Kremzars enlisted the help ofDon Gilb Landscaping. A new block re-taining wall anchors the design and cre-ates a peaceful sitting area at the end oftheir stamped concrete walkway. Shadeappropriate plantings complete the de-sign.

510 Compton

Over their 20 years at 510 ComptonRoad, Susanne and Paul Mort have cre-ated an attractive, welcoming land-scape, with special attention to the trees.

Of the trees that stood when theMort’s acquired the property, only threeremain – a box elder with large, lowbranches suitable for climbing, a matureinterestingly shaped maple standingprominently in the front yard, and a tallash saved from the emerald ash borer bytreatment (11 ash were lost).

Over the years, the Morts added atleast 33 trees, including a river birchshading the west side of their house and ayellowwood standing in the peacefulstepping-stone garden on the east side ofthe house. When their children wereyoung, the Morts celebrated threeChristmases with whole trees – a Nor-way spruce, a white pine, and a hemlock– which now grow along the east borderof their yard.

134 Congress Run Road

One of the largest trees along Con-gress Run is a beautiful Red Oak locatedon the property owned by Bill and Pame-la Kamm. Their house was built in 1954by the Herschede family.

It is assumed that the tree was plantedwhen the house was built. It was well lo-cated in the front yard to frame thehouse and was given adequate room togrow. The tree is surrounded by a lowstone wall which sets it off nicely in theyard.

227 Crescent Ave.

One of this year’s awards goes to theWaxler familyfor their outstanding Kat-sura tree specimen.

The Weeping Katsura tree is native toChina and Japan, and has graceful,weeping branches whose blue-greenleaves turn a vibrant yellow in autumn.

Kim Waxler says, “Other than a littleshaping when I planted the Katsura 10years ago, I’ve just let the tree do what itdoes best: grow rather magical.” Thetree apparently loves its spot, with theonly special care being watering whenthe weather is especially hot and dry.

The family loves the tree because it’sentirely hollow under that massive wa-terfall of foliage, “giving the impressionyou could catch a glimpse of a fairy orfaun peering from between the leaves.”

320 Hilltop Lane

Jim and Joy Miller have been steadilyimproving and accenting their proper-ty’s curb appeal since they bought thehome in 1990. Jim has shaped and main-tained the property himself, using intu-ition and observation to select whattypes of trees, flowers, and plants wouldlook best.

Jim has utilized plants and flowersthat take advantage of the natural shadeand are less appealing to deer. Jim hasadded a Norwegian pine, weeping cher-ry, and an eastern redbud to increasefront yard attraction.

Accenting the property are a peacepole and a granite bench, which camefrom the Fountain Square renovation.

503 Larchmont DriveThe Cohens moved to 503 Larchmont

in 1978. When they decided to dig up twolarge forsythia bushes in the side yardthe neighbors clapped. . Through theyears they have added trees, sadly had toremove very old trees, and they haveadded plantings that beautifully groundtheir house to their piece of land. Oneborder is full of color and a great feedingarea for bees and butterflies. The Co-hens’ back patio has an eye catching cas-cade of multicolored impatiens, makingit a welcoming place to visit.

53 Sherry Road

At the corner of Sherry Road and St.Clare Avenue you will find a belovedwhite ash tree, worthy of an award.

Mike and Brenda Meranda have beenthe stew-ards fornearly 30years,choosingthe proper-ty in partbecause ofthe tree.When emer-ald ash bor-er was de-tected inthe countyin 2007,they tookimmediateaction, at-tendingcommunityforums onthe leading-edge sci-ence to pro-tect ash trees from dying. At a trunk di-ameter of approximately 45 inches, thistree was far larger than trees on whichresearch was then being conducted.Mike treated the tree himself from 2009to 2010, then brought in a certified arbor-ist for the 2011-2014 treatments.

The tree is now 48 inches in diameter.

137 Springfield Pike

Beth Emanuelson and James Falken-stine have done an admirable job ex-panding their Arts & Crafts bungalowhome while restoring and maintainingits historic features.

Vinyl siding was replaced with ce-ment board shingles, fashioned to looklike the original wood shingles, and amid-20th century garage addition wasreplaced with one that echoes the style ofthe home.

Expansion of living space to the rearof the home has kept the front facade his-toric. A historic front door and originallystyled windows have been maintained.

The interior of the home boasts origi-nal unpainted wood work and Motawitile, while the exterior displays a paintscheme and landscaping which enhancethe historic qualities of the home.

216 Wilmuth Ave.During a recent renovation, the home-

owners maintained and replaced exteri-or materials to retain the historic integ-rity of their circa 1890 Queen Anne Villadwelling.

The home retains its original slateroof and original windows throughoutmost of the home. The homeowners re-placed rotting wooden clapboard sidingwith cement fiberboard siding, and re-placed the turret’s failing pressed metalcladding with very similar stampedsheet metal.

As part of the recent exterior work,copper gutters and downspouts wereadded, paint was removed from thebrick chimney, and the gracious porcheswere restored.

The exterior improvements weremanaged by prior owners Marcy Throopand Ed Weller, and the improvementssignificantly enhanced the curb appealthat drew new owners Jenny and Mi-chael Cardosi, and their three children tothe home.

Thanksgiving is al-ready on my mind, andjudging from the re-quests I’m receiving,apparently on some ofyour minds, too. Hasn’tthe year flown by? Iknow this can be a stress-ful time, as well, espe-

cially ifyou’rehosting aholidaydinner. Soas I tellyou everyyear, re-member,it’s not justabout thefood, butwho shares

it with you. Don’t worryif everything doesn’tcome out just right (aslong as I’ve been cooking,it happens to me, too).Parsley and whippedcream are foolproof culi-nary band-aids!

It’s a good time tocheck your dry spicesand herbs. Do the snifftest and if you can’t smella good aroma, your foodwon’t be seasoned prop-erly. Toss it out and buynew. Write the month andyear on the container, asa year from opening isgenerally the shelf lifefor herbs and spices inground or leaf form.

Another tip is to gath-er your serving pieces,utensils, etc. a coupledays ahead of time. Put asticky note on the serv-ing pieces so you knowwhat goes into them.That way, if someone ishelping in the kitchen,there’s no chance ofsomething going into thewrong serving piece.

Lighter Kentuckyhot browns

For the Afton readerwho lost her recipe andtold me: “I like to makehot brown sandwicheswith leftover turkey. Therecipe that I use isn’t theoriginal recipe from theBrown hotel, and mysauce has Parmesancheese instead of Roma-no and whole milk in-stead of whippingcream.”

Internet dating hasbecome big business butit can also lead to bigfinancial as well as emo-tional heartache.

A Cincinnati womannamed Cathy joined anonline dating service andwas contacted by a mannamed Paul. He claimedto own his own businessand have homes in Indi-ana, California, and Lon-don.

She says after corre-sponding with him for awhile he sent her pic-tures. Then, she says, “Itwasn’t very long afterthat he asked for money.I didn’t send any, notgoing to.”

Cathy says shechecked on the internetand found a website thatcontains copies of all theemails she had received

from Paul– so sheknew hewas afraud.

She’snot theonly one toreceivesuchemails.Barbara,

from Elsmere, wrote meto say a man with whomshe had been correspond-ing also started askingfor money.

Barbara writes, “Hepromises to come and seeme, and that he loves me.My problem is I don’tthink he’s working alone… He says he works onoil rigs, then he says hehasn’t gotten paid for hiscontract and needs mon-ey to get home and thencome here. Now he sayshe’s in Scotland andneeds $3,000 to get alawyer to sign his papersto get his contract moneyso he can come here.”

Both women tell methey just want the letterwriters to be caught.Barbara says she haspictures of him and hismother and daughter –but then realizes he mayactually be using some-one else’s pictures.

Fortunately thesewomen didn’t send outany money, but the OhioAttorney General sayshe’s received more than40 complaints involvingthese so-called “sweet-heart scams.” The aver-age reported loss, he

says, is more than$26,000.

All the scammerswork the same way inthat they spend timedeveloping a relationshipwith their victims beforethey starting asking formoney. The victims thinkthey are helping someonethey care about and getcaught up emotionallyand financially.

Usually the victim willbe asked to wire the mon-ey and, if they do, it’snearly impossible torecover the funds. Theattorney general’s officesays most of the moneyhas been wired to Afri-can nations like Nigeria.

So, you need to becareful when meetingpeople on the Internet.Try to check them out bysearching the internet.Websites like PigBusters.net. offer tips about on-line scam artists. Anoth-er such site, WikiHow,warns, “You don’t have tobe rich and you don’thave to be stupid. Youjust have to be lookingfor love, a search thatcauses you to be morevulnerable than usual.”So, beware and neversend any money to one ofthese people you meetonline.

Chief Information Sys-tems Technician (Subma-rines) Kevin Martindale,a graduate of PrincetonHigh School, advanced tothe rank of chief petty of-ficer in the United StatesNavy.

Martindale is servingat Navy Recruiting Dis-trict Ohio as the assistantsystems administratorworking out of Navy Offi-cer Recruiting StationCincinnati. His wife,April, an NRD Ohio Om-budsman, and his sonsLincoln and Connorpinned his anchors on himat the Chief Petty Officerpinning ceremony at theRadsisson Cincinnati Wa-terfront.

Martindale received aphone call from both theNRD Ohio CommandingOfficer Commander EricShafer and the NRD OhioCommand Master ChiefKathi Carmack Aug. 6congratulating him on hisselection to CPO.

Martindale said,“When I found out I madechief, I was in shock forhours. It wasn’t some-thing that really sank inuntil we were days intoour training. It is just such

an honor.”Martindale recom-

mended that those seek-ing to advance to chief tocount everything, be-cause everything you dohelps, even the smallthings you do for othersmatters. He called every-one from his last divisionto thank them because heknew that he did not getthere by himself.

Now that he is a chief,Martindale expects thatthe biggest change he willsee is an increased abilityto help his sailors suc-ceed.

He now has peers andmentors in the Chief’sMess that he can rely on toassist him.

Martindale said, “Thesense of brotherhood ex-perienced with the otherChiefs during this processis indescribable. It’ssomething you can onlyexperience for yourself,and can’t be put intowords. I will say however,that the fact that I am apart of this organization,that I have people to callwhen I need help, that Ihave the Chief’s Mess tolean on, is a blessing fromGod.”

According to Com-mand Master Chief KathiCarmack, NRD Ohio hadnine sailors selected to ad-vance to chief petty offi-cer, which put the com-mand in the top three ofthe 26 recruiting districtsin terms of CPO advance-ment.

Carmack said, “Whenone of my sailors gets se-lected for chief, it’s anoverwhelming feeling.It’s almost as if I am get-ting promoted again. Be-ing selected to chief pettyofficer is one of the mostsignificant milestones notonly in a career but also ina Sailor’s life, because sofew actually achieve therank of chief petty offi-cer.”

According to NRDOhio Commanding Offi-cer Commander EricShafer, “Chiefs mold andmentor our young Sailorsand transform the visionof senior leadership intoaction. They have beendoing this for well over acentury and our servicecould not do without ourCPO Mess.”

Shafer stated that hewas proud to see his sail-ors advancing to chief.
