Visitors to Evendale, Glendale andSharonville can trace history as theyfollow a trail created by Confederatetroops that brought the CivilWar north,into Hamilton County.

Gen. John Hunt Morgan’s soldiers,called Morgan’s Raiders, entered Ohioat Harrison, making his way acrossHamilton County.

They entered Glendale from thewest. The destination: train depot.

At the depot, George “Lightning”Ellsworth, considered to be Morgan’s“Wizard of the telegraph,” coded erro-neous messages to Union headquartersto deceive the Union forces about thestrength and location of Morgan’stroops.

After sending the misleading wiretelegraphs,Morgan’s troops tore up therailroad ties on the tracks in Glendale.

Then continued on, toward Sharon-ville, burning a bridge at today’s CanalRoad, and trying to burn another beforestopping at what was then the SharonHotel.

Nowcalled theTwelveMileHouse atSharon and Reading roads, Morgan setup a headquarters, resting while he fedhis troops and collected information be-fore moving on toward Montgomery.

Along the way, the soldiers stolehorses and goods wherever theystopped.WhenMorgan and hismen leftSharonville, they stopped at the Brownfarm in Evendale, known today as theGorman Heritage Farm. The farm’sMarketing and Events Manager VickiFoster said Morgan took two horsesfrom the Browns, as well as food and

drinking water.Thathistory isbeingcommemorated

through informational signs along theroute of the John Hunt Morgan Heri-tage Trail.

The Glendale sign can be found inthe Village Square, near the Depot Mu-seum, 44 Village Square.

The Sharonville sign is at the cornerof Sharon and Reading roads, next tothe Twelve Mile House, 11006 ReadingRoad.

Evendale’s sign will be installed atthe Gorman Heritage Farm, 10052Reading Road.

The signs include photos, sketchesand the story ofMorgan’sRaid, as chap-ters in each community.

It’s a history that’s important to thearea, even though it was an invasion ofquiet communities, local officialsagree.

Sharonville historian Darrin Uppsaid the public should be aware of his-torical events.

“These events are a part of whatmakes up our society as a whole,” Uppsaid. “These events are woven into thehistory of the area creating the wholefabric of what we have currently.

“The tapestry is never complete,however,” Upp said. “Events continueto add thewarp andweft fibers of histo-ry, creating a constantly evolving tap-estry, not only of our current life, butthe lives of those to come.”

Glendale Mayor Ralph Hoop saidtales of Morgan’s passage are well-known through the village, and Glen-dale commemorated the 150th anniver-sary of Morgan’s ride through a play,written as part of the village’s sesqui-centennial anniversary in 2005.

“Residents know the location of asmokehouse,wherehorseswerehiddenduring the raid,” Hoop said, “and thestory of two raiders who fell asleep in abarn and were captured the next daywhen they awoke.”

GormanHeritageFarm’sFoster saidthat she thinks the sign will be a goodaddition to the farm, and will help togive the farm’s past some factual per-spective of where it lies in associationwith the rest of history.

“It will definitely be a nice thing forthe farm,” she said. “It kind of puts ourplace in the history of the region.”

Both Sharonville and Glendale havemuseums where visitors can learnmore about their part in local history.

Sharonville’s museum is at 11115Main St., in downtown Sharonville.

Glendale’s museum is at 44 VillageSquare.

“I hope people will stop and take amoment to wonder, to transport them-selvesback into the timewhen theRaid-ers were in Sharonville,” Upp said. “Ihope they takeamoment to reflectuponwhat that lifewouldhavebeen like then,having the enemy in their own backyard.

“I hope that our people of today real-ize that historydoesnot justmean thoseevents of long ago, rather that history isongoing,” he said. “It is today.”

Changes to the WyomingMiddle School renovation proc-ess brought about two dozenparents to a school board meet-ing Jan. 28, at which an updatewas presented.

SchoolBoardPresidentToddLevy outlined changes to thetemporary classroom accom-modations, made necessary bybudget constraints.

Levy presented a timeline,which began more than sevenyears ago, with a study of themiddle school facilities, leadingto a successful bond levy andculminating in the renovationplan.

He explained that the origi-nal plan called for two of thefour grades of students who at-tendWyomingMiddle School toremain in the building duringthe renovation, while twogrades would move to modularunits on the school property.

That cost was estimated at$500,000.

Safety and academic con-cerns scrapped that plan, andalternative sites within the citywere considered. Those werediscarded due to traffic safetyconcernsandadditional costs ofrenovating a space such as theCivic Center to accommodatestudents.

A third plan called for mod-ular units to be placed on thebaseball field atWyomingHighSchool, but additional modularunits would be needed, alongwith modifications to the base-ball field, nearly quadruplingthe cost to $1.9 million.

Thehighcostofplacingmod-ular units at the high schoolprompted theboard to lookelse-where.

Superintendent Susan Langpursued alternative locations insurrounding school districts,and the best location emergedat St. Peter and Paul School inReading, Levy said.

The building at Pearl andChurch streets is no longer inuse by the parish. There is a Sts.Peter and Paul Academy at 231Clark St.

Sister Althea Augus-tine is a nun with 63years service with theSociety of the Trans-figuration in Glendale,historically know as “theconvent.”

Her idea to honorfamed poet YolandeCornelia “Nikki” Gio-

vannicame assheviewedthe dedi-cation ofthe his-toricalmarkerfor Eck-steinEle-mentary

School in May 2011. Thiswas the solution she wasseeking to celebrateNikki’s life and works aswell as inspire LincolnHeights children toreach for the stars.

Nikki is a product ofSt. Simon ElementarySchool and St. Simon ofCyrene Church, bothfounded by the Trans-figuration nuns. Numer-ous notables in religion,education, writing, civicperformance, invention,the legal profession andentertainment got theirstarts at St. Simon. Manywere students of SisterAlthea’s from her daysteaching there.

Over the years, sever-al biographies havestated Nikki grew up inCincinnati, but she isactually a valley girl.Sister Althea has knownNikki almost 60 years.She taught her scienceat St. Simon where Nikkiexhibited remarkablecreativity and intelli-gence at an early age.

To list all of Giovan-ni’s personal and profes-sional milestones,awards, honors, speech-es, humanitarian andcivil activities wouldtake an entire column.She graduated with hon-ors from Fisk University(her grandfather’s almamater), attended theUniversity of Pennsylva-nia and Columbia Uni-versity and is the recipi-ent of numerous hon-orary doctorates, Wom-an of the Year Awardsand the keys to severaldifferent cities. Authorof hundreds of poems,essay and books, herpremier achievement isher son.

Nikki taught at Col-lege of Mount St. Joseph;Livingston College ofRutgers University andnow is a University Dis-tinguished Professor atVirginia Tech Universityand a distinguished vis-iting professor at FiskUniversity. She is a can-

cer survivor who did notlet illness dampen herdrive for civil rights andthe education and en-lightenment of others.

In 2010 Nikki washere for the Western andSouthernWomen’s Ten-nis Tournament in Ma-son. She made a specialtrip to St. Monica’s Rec-reation Center just topresent the youngsters

with an autographed giftof her children’s bookand to give an inspira-tional message aboutcharacter.

Sister AnnMargarettold the children thatMs. Giovanni is the re-cipient of over 200 hon-ors, the first to receivethe Woman of CourageAward and that herbooks have been trans-

lated into many lan-guages. All of her acco-lades have never madeher forget that she camefrom Lincoln Heights.

Now, Sister Althea‘sdetermination for amarker for Nikki isbearing fruit. The con-vent has donated $1,000,and individuals havebegun to send in checks.Plans are under way toinstall the marker on St.Simon’s land where itwill be readily visible topassersby.

The economy is hit-ting many businesseshard, but some business-es, such as Gold MedalProducts in Evendale,are thriving.

GoldMedal,whichhasbeen headquartered inEvendale since 1997, is aconcessions food andequipment company thathas established its worldheadquarters in the vil-lage. The company dis-tributes internationally,and when buyers arebrought to the company,people from around theworld visit Evendale,said Bethe Ferguson,marketing communica-tions coordinator for thecompany.

When the companyex-panded recently, Even-dale made moves to keepGold Medal in the vil-lage. Working with theCommunity Improve-ment Corporation, May-or Don Apking and vil-lage council, the compa-ny worked out an incen-tive that helped make upthe difference in the costof a warehouse acrossfrom its building on Me-dallion Drive, said JackCameron, administra-tive assistant to the may-

or of Evendale.In the end $125,000

was paid to help buy thebuilding, which is usedas a manufacturingwarehouse, in exchangefor maintaining theheadquarters in the vil-lage through 2017.

“It’s not common forus (to offer an incen-tive),” Cameron said. “...but we are willing to con-sider anything thatmakes sense and (if thecompany has) someamount of confidence itwill end up working theway it’s being laid out.”

It’s that easy-to-work-with attitude that GoldMedal found appealingwhen the companymoved into the villagemore than 15 years ago,said James AdamBrowning, executivevice president and gen-eral counsel for the com-pany.

Dave Evans, vicepresident of purchasingfor Gold Medal, said theone-on-one relationshipswith village officials cul-tivated a more personalenvironment to grow thebusiness. Evans, who isalso part of the EvendaleChamber of Commerce,added “the companycouldn’t find a bettercommunity to work in.”

Two Glendale busi-nesses are hoping to findhomes for several pup-pies that were turnedaway from rural sheltersdue to the cold.

“It’s a problem thatmany shelters face,” saidNatalie Lotspeich, whoowns The Dog Depot inGlendale. “They don’thave space, and some ofthe rural shelters have in-adequate heat.

“In some cases, theydon’t have heat at all,” shesaid, “and young pupsdon’t survive that well.”

Lotspeichhasbeencar-ing for several puppiesfrom two shelters, and ishoping they will be adopt-ed to permanent homes.

She and Glendale pho-tographer Amanda Evans

have put together a fund-raiser to help defray thecost of food, neuteringand spaying services, andother needs for the Coon-hound Lab mix, and Aus-tralianShepherdmixpup-pies.

“We pick up the slackas local, small, indepen-dent private rescues,”Lotspeich said. “But wedon’t have big, deep pock-ets.”

To raise funds for thedogs’ care, Evans will do-nate her time and re-sources to photograph thedonor’s family dog, with aValentine’s Day theme.

She will offer a photoCD for a $20 donation tothe rescue effort.

If the dog owner alsobrings a bag of food to theevent, Evans will print acopy to take home, alongwith the disc.

“We’re hoping peoplewill donate food,” Lot-speich said, “so while wehave them in our care, wehave enough to feedthem.”

They are also accept-ing monetary donations.

“When they have apoor start, it’s rewardingto see them go to a goodhome,” she said.

“Ourgoal is toget themhappy and healthy,” shesaid, “and then to findthem a caring home envi-ronment.

“We want this to be apermanentplacement in aforever home, so theydon’t have to be shuffledaround any more.

“They’ve been shuf-fled enough already.”

Glendale’s fire chiefhassubmittedhisresigna-tion.

Dave Moore will con-tinue as chief until March4, when Village Councilwill vote on his replace-ment.

Moore was hired aschief of the volunteer firedepartment in September2008.

He cited personal rea-sons for his resignation,according toMayorRalphHoop.

“Chief Moore raisedthe performance to a newstandard of professional-ism,” Hoop said, citingMoore’s recruitment andmaintenanceofarosterof40-50 volunteer firefight-

ers over the past fouryears.

Hoop also noted the de-partment’s improvementin response time andstatewide ratings.

“This puts the Glen-daleFireDepartmentper-formance in the top 3 per-cent of all Ohio depart-ments,” the mayor said,“volunteer or paid profes-sional.

“ChiefMoore deservesfull credit for the leader-ship which has achievedthese results,” Hoop said.“Andwewill miss his ser-vice to the village.”

Hardwick has been amember of the Glendalecrew since the volunteerfire departmentwas reor-ganized in 2006.

A firefighter since1976, he started with the

fire department in NewBurlington, where hegrew up and still lives.

Sharonville CityCouncil unanimously re-jectedaproposal bySyc-amore Township to cre-ate a Joint EconomicDe-velopment Zone, orJEDZ.

A JEDZ involves anagreement between thetownship and an adja-cent municipality, toraise revenue by collect-ing an income tax on em-ployees who work in oneof those zones.

Sycamore Townshippartnered with Madeirain the east and centraldistricts, with AmberleyVillage in the southwest,and hoped to partnerwith Sharonville in thenorthwest.

Council held a publichearing before its Jan.29 meeting, where Eco-nomic Development Di-rector Chris Xeil Lyonsexplained what Sharon-ville would have given,and what the city wouldhave received:

Sharonville wouldhave provided severalservices to the zone:

» collection of theJEDZ income tax anddisbursement accordingto the terms of the con-tract;

» advice and consult-ing services to the town-ship about budgetingand collection of the in-come tax;

» encouragecommer-cial development neces-sary or appropriate topromote, complement,and benefit economicdevelopment within thezone as agreed by theparticipants.

» any other servicesagreed upon by Sharon-ville and SycamoreTownship.

Sharonville wouldhave received:

» an annual servicefee equal to two percentof gross income tax rev-enues collected for thatperiod, or an amountequal to the actual rea-sonable costs of thecity’s administration,whichever is greater.

The service fee maybeapplied toadministra-tive costs at Sharon-ville’s discretion, butwould also be applied tocosts of collection andlitigation including forexample, attorney fees,court costs, expert feesand court reporter fees,among others.

The tax commission-er would have annuallyplaced two percent ofthe gross income tax

revenue into an escrowfund.

» distributable reve-nue, defined as annualgross income tax reve-nueminus the sumof theannual service fee andthe annual escrow feeand the lesser of $7,500or 1 percent of annualgross income tax reve-nue.

Escrow proceedscould have been used topay refunds and balanceaccounts.

If an escrowdeficien-cy occurred, the taxcommissioner couldsubmit an invoice to thezone to fill the deficien-cy.

Each year, any es-crowsurpluswouldhavebeen distributed to themembers of the JEDZ.

Sycamore TownshipLaw Director Doug Mil-ler said the agreementcould have been voidedif either side wanted towithdraw,with “a coupleof years notice to re-place the agreementwith another municipal-ity.”

Council memberscited concerns aboutlevying taxesoutside thecity limits, as well as theamount of work theJEDZ would add to thecity staff, among others.

Moeller Champions for Children’Corryville Little Buddies/

Mentoring, a Moeller HighSchool service project, is thewinner of 4C for Children’ssecond annual Champions forChildren: the Next GenerationAward.

This project, in its 20th year,matches 108 Moeller highschool seniors and additionalunderclassmen with studentsfrom preschool through third-grade at Corryville Catholic, aconsolidated school serving at-risk children from a number ofCincinnati inner-city neighbor-hoods.

Through bi-weekly visitsMoeller students engage Cor-

ryville students in creativeplay, provide alternative learn-ing experiences and tutor.Moeller service coordinatorBrian Gilronan and a team ofsix senior student leaders planactivities with the Corryvillestaff. The current team of stu-dent leaders includes: KevinCarroll, Corey Carroll, KalebNypaver, Jack Sherman, GrantGarbacik and William Thomp-son.

“Over the years this projecthas had a great many impactson our students,” said NotreDameSisterMarieSmith, prin-cipal of Corryville Catholic.She emphasizes the impor-tance of the consistent rela-tionships that develop betweenMoeller and Corryville stu-dents.

Many Corryville studentlack consistent relationshipswith someone older, she ex-plains, and so the regular, con-sistent visits fromMoeller stu-dents are very important. Cor-ryville students look forwardto someone theycancounton tosit down with them one-on-oneto read a book, play a game orwork on homework. And insome cases, Sister Marie says,these relationships last longaf-ter the school year is over. Sis-terMarie cites several cases ofMoeller students who continueto keep in contact with theirLittleBuddy through their owncollege years and beyond.

How does Sister Marie feelabout the Moeller studentswinning these year’s “Champi-ons for Children: The Next

Generation Award”?“They deserve it,” she said.The goal of the Champions

forChildren:TheNextGenera-tion award, is to honor highschool students in grades nineto 12 who are taking action onbehalf of the children of ourcommunity – or of our world.

“We want to reinforce in theleadersof tomorrowthe impor-tance of investing in the chil-drenof today – especially thosefrom birth to age 8,” said 4CPresident/CEO Sallie West-heimer.

MOELLER HONOR ROLL

On a recent visit to WintonWoodsCity Schools’ alternativeeducation program, PittsburghPirates coach Vince Harrisonencouraged students.

“Don’t let anything knockyou off your target,” he said.

Harrison, and his brothersShaun and Josh, visited theschool recently to share theirstories of perseverance andovercoming obstacles toachieve success. Their mother,Bonita Harrison, works forWinton Woods City Schools.

For all three men, sports“was their avenue for success,”said Vince. Yet even though heplayed minor league baseballfor 11 years before becoming aPirates player/coach, Vince

said it was the students in thehigh school accounting class hetaught that helped him realizethat teaching was his biggestaccomplishment.

“Life is all about the deci-sions you make,” he said. “I’vehad students tell me that Itaught them about making theright decision. That meantmore to me than any praise Iever received from my team-mates.”

Josh Harrison, who playsmiddle infield for the Pirates,said it was approaching highschool graduation with no col-legescholarshipoffers thatwasthe “hardest time” for him.

“I just wanted to play base-ball andgo to school,” said Josh,

who attended the University ofCincinnati. His advice to thestudents: “Don’t let anyone tellyou that you can’t do some-thing.Youcontrolwhatyoudo.”

Shaun Harrison was de-clared by his brothers to be thebest athlete, but the fact that hewas “always good with words”led him into a career as amusicproducer and rapper. In fact,Shaunwrote and performed hisbrother Josh’s walk-up songs:“I’m the Man,” “Shock DaGlobe,” “Gotta See Me” and“Focused on the Grind.”

Shaun told students that “ev-eryone has a talent, or morethanone talent.Youhave to findoutwhat it isandsetyourselfupfor success.”

Vince, left, Josh and Shaun Harrison recently visited students attending Woods City Schools’ alternativeeducation program. Vince is a player/coach for the Pittsburgh Pirates, while Josh plays middle infield for theteam. Shaun is a rapper/music producer. THANKS TO TERESA CLEARY.

WRAPPING UP THE HOLIDAYS

The Evendale Elementary PTA sponsored its annual Holiday Shopfor the students to select special gifts for the loved ones in theirlives. This is a great way to purchase an inexpensive gift and thenhave it wrapped by a PTA volunteer. Breauna Gause, ConnorCurran and Rylee Meyer are all students in Mary Jo Melia'sthird-grade classroom. The students are excited about themerchandise that is available for them to select for that specialgift. PROVIDED

JOIN THE CLUB

Bethany School Chapel services were blessed with visits from DaveWillacker of Cincinnati Circus. He juggled while sharing stories fromthe Bible, and several students were able to participate. Willackerused volunteer second-graders Olivia Woods and Anjali Pema to talkabout faith as he juggles clubs over their heads. No students wereinjured in the memorable demonstrations.

SHARONVILLE—When Bran-don Selmon was starting off atPrinceton High School in thefall of 2010, he decided to givewrestling a try.

Itwasa sporthehadsomefa-miliarity with, having compet-ed when he was 7 years old.

However, as he progressedthrough elementary andmiddleschool, his interests leanedmore toward basketball.

But as a freshman, Selmondecided to give the sport anoth-er shot. It was a decision thatcame with reservations at first.

“I was very hesitant (aboutwrestlingagain). Iwasn’t sure ifI wanted to do it,” Selmon said.“But I made the right decisionand I have no regrets now.”

Entering the Greater MiamiConference championshipsFeb. 2, Selmon was among theleague leaders in wins (30-6) at126 pounds.

He was the runner-up at theconference meet after winningtheMilford Invitational Jan. 26.At the GMVWA Holiday Tour-nament Dec. 29, he placed fifthanddefeated formerDivision IIstate qualifier, Matt Middletonof Franklin.

“Thatmeetwas abig step forme,” Selmon said. “That meettoldme I couldmake aname formyself.”

Princeton coach Ty Robbinscredits Selmon’s worth ethicwith helping the junior trans-form into one of the GMC’s topcompetitors.

Robbins added that Selmonhas benefited from workingwith his brother, Corey Selmon,while also squaring off with2011 state qualifier A.J. Kowalin practice.

Corey won the 125-poundGMC title as a senior in 2011,

while Kowal is among theleague leaders in wins at 145pounds.

“Working with bigger kidshas forced him to use tech-nique,” Robbins said.

When Selmon is not wres-tling for Princeton, he can stillbe foundonthemat.Hecompet-ed in the Ohio Freestyle StateWrestling Tournament lastMay. He also ran cross countrythis fall in an effort to keep upweight and endurance.

Robbins also believes thatconfidence could be the key toSelmon’s stellar junior season.

“He’s wrestled long enoughand he’s been in some tightmatches and he doesn’t get asnervous as much,” Robbinssaid.

With the tournament seasonset to begin Feb. 15, Selmon ex-udes confidence when talkingpostseason goals because get-ting to Columbus won’t beenough.

“The goal for this year is toplace at the state tournament,”he said.

WYOMING — With just one senior and a newcoach, theWyomingHigh School girls basketballteam has plodded its way to a winning season inthe competitive Cincinnati Hills League.

Gerry Lackey is Wyoming’s third coach inthree years and is trying to get them back in titlecontention. The Cowboys last won the league in2008.

Since then, seniors have left due to graduationand the rest of the league has stepped up. Wyo-ming teams usually have four to five seniors; thisyear’s lone representative from the 12th grade isforwardMorgan Cunningham.

Cunningham is the team’s top rebounder andthe third-leading scorer.

“She’s a good, hardworker,” Lackey said. “I’vebeenverypleasedwith thekids this year as far astheir effort.They’vecomea longwayfromwherewe’ve been.”

On Dec. 5, the Cowboys were an 0-4 team. Bythe end of the year, theywere 3-5. Now,Wyomingis on the winning side of the things overall and inthe CHL.

“We’re young and still inconsistent,” Lackeysaid. “We’ll look really good for a half of a gameand not real good in the other half. Consistency iswhat we have to work on.”

Of Lackey’s regulars, two are freshmen andone is a sophomore. Freshman point guard AshliO’Neal leads the team in scoring, followed bysophomore forward Emily Wadds. Both averagearound nine points per game.

“Everyone’s got some youth,” Lackey said. “Inour league, it seems like everybody’s got every-body coming back. It’s good to have youth, but itseems everyone else has it too.”

Case inpoint, the league’s leadingscorer isMa-deirasophomoreCeliaKline.AtIndianHill, fresh-man Sam Arington has the highest average. Ma-riemont is also largely made up of freshmen andsophomores.

“It’s very balanced,” Lackey said of the CHL.“The only teamwedidn’t beat in the league so farisMadeira. Anybody canbeat anybody on a givennight.”

One thing Lackey has brought from his statetitle days atMason is a disciplined passing game.JuniorNatalieBurchard leads the team inassists,followed by freshman O’Neal.

LackeybelievesWyoming’sability to share theball is enhanced by the small school’s tendency tohavemulti-sport athletes.

“Alotof themplayothersportsandhavevisionof seeing the open person from the other sports,”Lackey said.

TheCowboysnextopportunitytodistributethebasketball is Feb. 7 at Woodward. Following that,theycanplayspoiler to thefront-runningMadeiraAmazons when theymeet Feb. 9 on the road.

Our legal system recog-nizes that people make mis-takes.

Even criminal convictionsshould not remain on yourrecord forever if the crimewas minor and you have led anotherwise law abiding life. Topublicly seal your criminalrecord, you can apply for anexpungement.

Ohio’s expungement lawchanged significantly lastSeptember to allow more peo-ple to expunge their record.Under the old law only firsttime offenders were eligiblefor expungement. The new lawconsiders a person eligible foran expungement if they haveeither:

» one felonyconviction;

» one or twodifferent mis-demeanorconvictions, or

» one felonyconviction andone misde-meanor con-viction.

Manycrimes don’t

qualify for expungement. Seri-ous felonies, such as murderand rape, are obviously noteligible. Some violent misde-meanors, like domestic vio-lence, as well as traffic of-fenses (even speeding convic-tions) can’t be sealed.

A waiting period must oc-cur before applying for ex-pungement: three years for afelony and one year for a mis-demeanor. The waiting periodbegins to run once the offend-er has been released from jailor probation. Additionally, allfines and restitution from theearlier conviction must havebeen paid in full and warrantsor pending charges must beclosed.

To apply for expungementyou must first file for theprocess in the same courtwhere the conviction oc-curred. There is a $50 filingfee to expunge a criminal con-viction. However, the fee canbe waived if you are indigent.

The judge that heard the origi-nal case, or his/her successor,will then consider your filing.The judge will determinewhether you are eligible bylaw. If you are eligible but theprosecutor objects, he willweigh your interest in clearingyour record against the gov-ernment’s interest in maintain-ing the record of conviction.He has the final discretion togrant or deny the expunge-ment.

Many people are surprisedthat dismissed charges appearon their record. A person mayapply to expunge thesecharges regardless of the rea-son for their dismissal. Thereis no waiting period, filing fee

or limit to the number of dis-missed charges that can besealed. However, charges dis-missed as part of a plea bar-gain cannot be expunged. Felo-nies ignored by the grand jurycan be sealed after a two-yearwaiting period.

If you are interested inexpunging a criminal convic-tion or a dismissed charge, goto the Hamilton County Clerkof Courts, Room 112 of theHamilton County Justice Cen-ter at 1000 Sycamore St. or call946-6010 for further informa-tion.

Judge Brad Greenberg presides inHamilton County Municipal Court.He is a Loveland resident.

On the Obama runway,along with gun violencereform, job growth, deficitreduction and climate con-trol is immigration reform.

The Obama administra-tion will begin an all-outdrive for comprehensiveimmigration reform, in-cluding seeking a path tocitizenship for 11millionundocumented immigrants.

President Obama wants acomprehensive bill thatwould also bolster bordersecurity, ratchet up penal-ties for employers who hireundocumented immigrantsand make it easier to bringin foreign workers withvaluable skills.

One option is to dust offmore than 300 pages of 2010draft legislation (led by U.S.Sen. Charles E. Schumer(D-N.Y) and U.S. SenatorLindsey Graham (R-S.C.) fora large immigration bill.

The 2010 draft languagecreates a renewable visa forundocumented immigrantsalready in the U.S. and al-lows them to get in line for agreen card after they sub-mit to background checks,learn English and pay backtaxes and a fine. The propos-al also would require em-ployers to use a federaldatabase to verify immigra-tion status.

“The president can’tguarantee us the outcome,but he can guarantee us thefight,” said Eliseo Medina,secretary-treasurer of theService Employees Interna-tional Union, which repre-sents 2 million workers.

“We expect a strongfight.”

Undocumented immi-grants exist in a legal noman’s land. Businesses,farmers, and homeownershire them, many of themraise families, and yet theylive with the constant risk ofbeing caught and deported.

Newly elected MexicanPresident Enrique PenaNieto has backed PresidentObama’s planned push forU.S. immigration reform(which comes amid newanalysis of census data bythe Pew Hispanic Centerthat shows illegal immigra-

tion is downand enforce-ment levelsare at anall-timehigh.). PenaNietopledged coop-eration onboarder secu-rity andpromisedefforts to

reduce violence in his owncountry.

Three weeks after win-ning re-election, PresidentObama held Oval Officetalks with Pena Nieto tobegin forging a personalbond and discuss sharedchallenges that have some-times created contentiousrelations between theircountries.

The Mexican presidentsaid, “We want to contribute,we really want to participatein the betterment and thewell-being of so many mil-lions of people who live inyour country.”

President Obama said,“I’m very confident that wecan get immigration reformdone. This has not histori-cally been a partisan issue –we had President Bush(George W.) and JohnMcCain and others whohave supported comprehen-sive immigration reform inthe past ... This is somethingI care deeply about ... It’spersonal to me.”

Comprehensive reform inimmigration laws is a hu-manitarian necessity. Inaddition, much needed andlong overdue reform willbenefit businesses, educa-tion, healthcare and publicsafety in the U.S.A.

Comprehensive immigra-tion reform is an Americanimperative.

Our unique and secretstrength comes from thefact that we are and alwayshave been a nation of im-migrants.

Jan. 30 questionDo you agree or disagree

with Duke Energy’s request fora24-percent increase inelectricrates and an 18-percent in-crease in gas rates when someof the money is expected to beused to move utilities for thestreetcar project in Cincinnati?Why or why not?

“Disagree! Duke has been avery poor provider of electricservice. More and longer out-ages than ever in the history ofCG&E before then. As I under-stand it, that is true all acrossthe Duke Energy nation too. Fixyour problems, then ask for areasonable rate hike!”

C.G.

“I disagree. As a Kentuckygirl I don’t care about a streetcar. I work downtown and I amsure the taxpayers are payingfor it anyhow. Also Duke is ajoke, thingsare toughforpeopleand they want to raise rates fora street? I work across thestreet from them on Fourth andMain they moved the train dis-play. Now you have to pay to seeit and I would like to know howmuch money they put into thewalkway in the front of thebuilding.Duke is awful and theycan be what other alternative isthere ?”

R.F.“I think that the way you

state your question is biased intying the streetcar with DukeEnergy rates.Many citizens areamong those who do not see theadvantage of the streetcar fordowntown Cincinnati. I amamong those who do. Having at-tended the Choir Games and inanticipating the coming All-Star Game and related activ-ities, I see anexcellent reason toget the streetcar project com-pleted.

“But, I think the PUCO needsto look closely at Duke Energy’srequested rate increase. I hopethat this full increasewill not beallowed, but I am interested inknowing if any part of it is to beused to close, upgrade pollutioncontrols or convert any of thethree coal-fired powerplants onthe Ohio River – Zimmer, Beck-jordandMiamiFort. I havereadthat Miami Fort units 7 and 8have been upgraded in the pastfew years with modern pollu-tion control equipment.When ispart of Miami Fort and Beck-jord scheduled to be closed?These coal-fired power plantshave been identified by the EPAas major sources of mercuryemissions into the Ohio River,as well as major contributors tosoot, sulfur dioxide and nitro-

gen oxide that trigger asthmaand cause heart disease in ourarea.

“Children, at an ever young-er age are becoming asthmatic,and many in our region of Ohiosuffer various lung and heartproblems from the high pollu-tion. The related cost to the indi-vidual and to the public healthsystem is shocking.

“The Cincinnati streetcar isnot amajor expense toDukeEn-ergy that would cause the ex-tremely high rate increases be-ing requested. In fact, enhanc-ing our area’s major conventionand visitors segment is a win-win for the city of Cincinnati,Duke Energy and the region.Just because you do not person-allywish to enjoy ourmajor cityand the economic driver in ourarea, does not mean that you donot benefit from living nearby.Corporations that reside in ourcity contribute inmajorways tothe betterment of our area. Ihope thatDukeEnergywill con-tinue to do so in coming to an eq-uitable agreement with the cityofCincinnati onmovingutilitiesfor the streetcar project – but,PUCO look at those rate in-creases carefully!”

Jan W. Evans

“No! It is a silly project thatwill not benefit me in any way.Plus didn't they just petition tohave their tax rate reduced thusreducing funding to schools?Ridiculous!”

K.S.

“I like to think that I stay in-formed about important things,but I confess that I did not knowabout this planned increase byDuke.

“I can understand, especiallyin these times, why service pro-viders have to periodicallyraise their rates for their prod-ucts and services, but 24 per-cent and18 percent seems exor-bitant, especially if the move isreally being driven by this ul-

tra-silly 'streetcar project,’something thatmost of us agreewe do not need.

“Compare this increase tothepost office's increase in firstclass postage from 45 cents to46 cents. That is a 2 percent in-crease, and thepost office is in alot worse financial shape thanDuke.”

Bill B.

“No, I certainly don't agreewith the raise in rates and geteven more upset when I thinkthat someof thatmoney is goingfor the streetcar project.

“I still don't understand whywe in the county have to pay forit, butweren’t allowed tovote onit? Seeing how high my electricbill was forDecember I thoughtthe rates were already raised.”

Dave D.

“I wasn't aware that part ofmy increase is slated to pay formoving utilities for the street-car. That is outrageous. The in-crease should only be paid forby residents of the city of Cin-cinnati. I'll have no need to ridethe streetcar.”

T.H.

“That Duke is asking for rateincreases of this magnitude, re-gardless of the reason, is thebest argument I have ever seenfor why public utility providersshould not be privately held,for-profit companies.”

J.R.B.

“Duke Energy is a regulatedbusiness that must justify itsrate increases based on itscosts. It will or won't make thecase with the Public UtilitiesCommission, whether youagree or not. This is like askingifyouagreewith thesuncomingup in the morning. Your opinionhas nothing to do with it.

“Some will say they disagreebecause their budgets are al-ready stretched, So what?Would you rather haveDuke be-come unprofitable and providelousy service like Long IslandLighting?Wouldyouratherwaitfor twoweeks to get your powerrestored after a storm? Cutback on the data plan for yourcell phone or your cable TV ser-vice. Reliable gas and electric-ity are much more important.”

into the camp. Neff had no weapons to arm them. Some of Morgan’s troopsderailed a train carrying dozens of passengers, attempted to burn a bridgecrossing the Little Miami River and fought off several groups of soldiers, accord-ing to the trail’s guidebook, co-authored by Dave Mowery and Lora Cahill.After fighting off several attacks by Union militia, Morgan and his raiders

soon moved east into Clermont County and continued their trek through Ohio.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2013

During the summer of 1863, a storm like noother rolled through parts of Ohio, Kentuckyand Indiana.

It was not a storm of thunder, rain and lightning,but a band of raiders. During the height of the CivilWar in1863, Ohio saw themost action it would seethroughout the entirety of the war. Confederate Brig.Gen. JohnHuntMorgan and his troops, known as“Morgan’s Raiders,” brought Civil War battlefields tothe Buckeye State andHamilton County.

After entering the state through the city of Harri-son, in the northwest corner of the county,Morganand his raidersmoved through smaller cities andtowns while avoiding the Union army strongholds ofCincinnati andHamilton. But while stories about thetroop preceded them, they blew through relativelyquickly, wreaking havocmostly in the form of stolenhorses and goods, said DaveMowery, theHamiltonCounty coordinator for the Ohio Civil War Trail Com-mission.

Morgan,Mowery said, was a gentleman. Born inHuntsville, Ala., and hailing from outside Lexington,Ky., he embodied the idea of the Southern gentleman.Few citizens were killed unless they threatenedMor-gan’s army, and no rapes ormurders were document-ed during his trek through several states.

Where citizens living in cities and townsMorganmarched his troops through lost is economically. Fam-ilies were forced to cook for the soldiers and storeswere looted. Farmers were likely to lose their horsesto the army, andmany times were given the exhaust-ed ones soldiers had been riding,Mowery said.

“It’s amisconception— the victors write history,”he said aboutMorgan’s army. “We have a lot of greatrecords from both sides saying he wasn’t a demon ormarauder. Theywere verymuch a Confederate groupof soldiers that had a job to do. He did everythingwithin the rules of war.”

CONFEDERATE GENERAL’SRAID COMES TO LIFE

THROUGHTRAILBy Leah [email protected]

Morgan

“Morgan himself later rested atthe Schenck farm to wait on histroopers en route from Reading.The general and his staff satoutside while the Schenck wom-en served them breakfast. Whenthe Raiders rode off thirty min-utes later, they remained igno-rant of the Thompsons and thetwo prized horses hidden in theparlor.”

A FAMOUS FAMILY“John Thompson and his wife, Clara Jane, remained at the

Schenck farm after the war. Despite the challenges African Amer-icans faced during Reconstruction, four Thompson children at-tained widespread fame. Garland Yancy became an award-win-ning wood carver. Younger siblings— Aaron Bedford, Priscilla Janeand Clara Ann— became renowned poets in the early 20th centu-ry.“The John Schenck House is private property. Please be respect-

ful and remain on the sidewalk.”

Morgan’s Raidersburned a bridge atCanal Road, andtrying to burn anoth-er before stopping atwhat was then theSharon Hotel.Now called the

Twelve Mile House atSharon and Readingroads, Morgan set up a headquarters, restingwhile he fed his troops and collected informationbefore moving on toward Montgomery.

SHARONVILLEMorgan’s Raiders entered Glendale

from the west. The destination: traindepot.At the depot, George “Lightning”

Ellsworth, considered to be Morgan’s“Wizard of the telegraph,” coded erro-neous messages to Union headquartersto deceive the Union forces about thestrength and location of Morgan’stroops.After sending the misleading wire

telegraphs, Morgan’s troops tore up therailroad ties on the tracks in Glendale.

GLENDALE

When Morgan and his men left Shar-onville, they stopped at the Brown farmin Evendale, known today as the Gor-man Heritage Farm. The farm’s Market-ing and Events Manager Vicki Foster saidMorgan took two horses from theBrowns, as well as food and drinkingwater.Foster said that she thinks the sign will

be a good addition to the farm, and willhelp to give the farm’s past some factualperspective of where it lies in associationwith the rest of history.“It will definitely be a nice thing for

the farm,” she said. “It kind of puts ourplace in the history of the region.”

EVENDALEThe John Hunt

Morgan Heritage Trailinformational sign atthe historical HuntHouse on Hunt Roadin Blue Ash says:“On the morning of

July 14, 1863, JohnCraig Hunt and his10-year-old son, Wil-son, watched fromtheir Blue Ash farm-house as Confederate raiders led six horses from thebarn. When the boy asked his father about hisintentions, the father replied, “There’s not muchthat I can do. You can’t stop any army!”“Confederate Brigadier General John Hunt Mor-

gan’s cavalry had separated into groups of betweentwo and 20 men in search of food, water, and freshhorses. Eight hours later Union Brigadier GeneralEdward Hobson’s forces arrived in Blue Ash to for-age for newmounts. To their dismay, the newarrivals discovered that Morgan’s men had confiscat-ed nearly all useful horses within a three-mile radius.

THE RAIDERS THROWOUT A NET“Morgan had sent his troopers on multiple routes

from Sharonville to conceal their crossing of theLittle Miami River and to maximize foraging. Colo-nel Basil W. Duke’s 1st Brigade marched southeasttowardMontgomery by way of Creek Road, Glen-dale-Milford Road and Zig Zag Road. To screen hisleft flank, Duke sent large detachments northeastfrom Sharonville along the wagon paths nowknown as Lebanon Road, Kemper Road and CornellRoad.“Morgan led the other column, composed of

Colonel Adam “Stovepipe” Johnson’s 2nd Brigade,along Reading Pike and Cooper Road to Carpenter’sRun Schoolhouse, then south on Plainfield Turnpikethrough East Sycamore (now Rossmoyne) to therendezvous at Montgomery.

MORGAN’S GREAT RAID“Modern historians have listedMorgan’s Indiana-

Ohio Raid as among the top 20 in world history.ThoughMorgan’s “Great” Raid did not affect theoutcome of the Civil War, it set a significant preced-ent. The German Blitzkrieg ofWorldWar II andOperation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 extrapolated fromthe “lightning war” tactics of John Hunt Morgan.“Morgan’s Raid counts among the longest raids in

the Civil War and reached the farthest north of anyConfederate force from the contiguous southernstates. The raid included the longest nonstop cavalrymarch in American military history (85 miles in 35hours, from Sunman, Indiana, toWilliamsburg,Ohio). Finally, it was the largest military action ofthe Civil War in Indiana and Ohio.”

DEER PARKThe sign outside the John Schenck House, 4208 Schenck Ave. in

Deer Park, says:

A COURAGEOUS BLUFF“While many Ohioans panicked in the path of Confederate

Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan’s cavalry – hiding their valu-ables and fleeing their homes – the Schencks and the Thompsonsresolved to defend both. During the Civil War, this house belongedto farmer John Schenck and his wife, Amelia. They lived here withtheir six children, a female house servant, and, at the time ofMorgan’s Raid, also provided refuge for escaped Kentucky slavesJohn Henry Thompson, his wife and his five children.“Around 5 a.m. July 14, 1863, a group of Morgan’s advance

guard arrived looking for horses and food, A Schenck woman,disguised in nurse’s garb, greeted the soldiers at the door. Whenthe raiders demanded food, she offered to feed them outdoors,warning that a child was sick with the smallpox and was quaran-tined to the parlor. Seeing the front door covered with a sheet andthe shutters closed, the raiders believed the ruse.

If there were a prizefor necessity being themother of invention, Iwould win it.

I wanted to make Lot-tie Hilgefort’s Crockpot

macaroniandcheese. Itcalls fortwo eggs.Well, my“girls”(chickens)must be onstrikebecause Ionly re-trieved one

egg from the nest thismorning. I needed 8 oz.macaroni (2 cups) andhad 1 cup left in the pan-try. Then I couldn’t findmy Crockpot. I remem-bered I left it at my sis-ter’s house.

I improvised. I made iton top of the stove, withtwo kinds of pasta andwith only one egg. Theresult? A pot of creamy,cheesy, tummy-pleasinggoodness. Another culi-nary discovery!

Two-waymacaroniand cheese

If you want a Crockpotversion that starts withuncooked macaroni,check out my blog atCincinnati.Com/blogs.

8 oz. dry elbowmacaroni orother short pasta, cooked(2 cups)

12 oz. evaporatedmilk1 egg (Lottie uses 2)4 cups extra sharp or sharpcheddar cheese, shredded

Salt and pepper

Stovetop: Keep maca-roni warm. In large panover low heat, whisktogether milk and egg.Stir in cheese and cookjust until cheese melts.Add macaroni and stir toblend. Season to taste.

Crockpot: Mix every-thing in Crockpot except1 cup cheddar. Sprinklethat on top. Cook on low3-4 hours (check after 3)and don’t stir or removelid during cooking.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Evaporatedmilk: Ahouse brand, like Kroger,works well and is less

expensive than nationalbrands.

Shredded or barcheese? I like to shredmy own since it doesn’thave the anti-cakingagents that shreddedcheese has and I thinkthe flavor is superior.But that’s up to you andhowmuch time you have,as pre-shredded workswell, too.

Herb- andspice-rubbed fishfilets with lemonbutter sauce

Can you believe Lent

is almost here? You’ll befinding some good priceson seafood during Lent.

1pound tilapia or othermild white fish, cut into3-4 pieces

3⁄4 teaspoon each sweetpaprika and pepper

1⁄2 teaspoon each driedthyme and salt

1⁄4 teaspoon dry mustardCayenne to taste: start witha dash

Olive oil4 tablespoons butterLemon juice to taste

Combine herbs andspices together. Brushfish with a bit of the olive

oil on both sides and rubspice mixture all over.Film a nonstick skilletwith oil and when it’s hot,add fish and sear untilcooked through, a fewminutes per side. Mean-while, melt butter andstir in lemon juice totaste, or melt butter insmall skillet and cookuntil butter is a prettyamber color, about 3minutes over mediumheat, but watch so itdoesn’t burn. Stir in lem-on juice to taste. (Bycooking butter in skillet,you’ll have “brownedbutter,” a nuttier flavorthan simply melted but-ter and lemon juice).Spoon butter mixtureover fish.

Tips from Rita’skitchen

Keeping avocadosfrom turning brown:Spray cut halves withcooking spray, wrap welland refrigerate.

Tips from readers’kitchens

My chicken cornchowder recipewas ahuge hit with readers. Kit

Whiteman gave her ownsignature twists to it(find her version on myblog) and I understand itwas served at a ladiesluncheon, as well. “Wecalled it Rita’s soup,” thereader said.

Can kitchen shearsbe put in dishwasher? Iput them in the dish-washer only when cut-ting up poultry since theshears’ blades will even-tually be damaged in thedishwasher. My fave:The ones with break-apart blades.

Can you help?Like FreshMarket

Along with guitaristGerry Byrd, bassist Her-man Burney, and drum-mer Curtis Boyd, FreddyCole will present a glori-ous tribute to the song-books of Jerome Kern,Cole Porter, GladysShelly, Nat King Cole, andother jazz legends.
