The project is a tunnel or a bridge over Glen Este-Withamsville Road to develop a small parcel of land into a children's playground with a fence around it. The cost of this project, according to the Feb. 28 Cincinnati Enquirer, is going to be over $245,000. Having worked with children most of my professional life, I believe this would possibly cost the life or injury of a child.

Plus, it is a waste of money. The acquisition of the acreage of the park was far less expensive. Though we would like to believe that our children are always watched and protected by a supervising adult, this is just not so. What will keep this child from crossing Glen Este-Withamsville Road? The tunnel? The bridge? If their parents are watching another child in a soccer game, what will keep the small child from running across the road? I would suggest to you that the township sell this land and keep the park intact. Remember, there was not enough money to put a pay telephone in the park and we settled for a phone that connects us with the police department (emergencies only).

But now we have the money for a dangerous and expensive project on a small parcel of land across the road. Why don't we make a call to the township hall and express our concerns over this waste of taxpayers' money. Call 752-1741. Catherine B. Wuerdeman, Union Township Loveland schools accept moving help from Ohio Guard BY ALICE HORNBAKER The Cincinnati Enquirer LOVELAND Ohio National Guard personnel will assist the Loveland School District with its move into the new high school and the shifting of various elementary and middle school grades among six buildings in the district.

While the district gains a new high school this fall, Branch Hill Elementary School will close. "We aren't sure whether we will mothball that school or use it for something else," Superintendent Ron DeWitt said. DeWitt said Ohio National Guard officials told the school board that its troops will help with the move as a community project, perhaps as early as July. For the first time in years, the city schools will postone their first day from August to the day after Labor Day, while the move is completed, DeWitt said. When Loveland High School opens in September, it will become simply Loveland High School, not Loveland Hurst High School.

That building will become Loveland Hurst Middle School, which will be used for grades 6-8. The school is named for Lincoln Hurst, superintendent of schools in Loveland for 27 years. He is retired and lives in Florida. The superintendent said every school in the district will be affected by this year's moves. Cost of land and construction of the new high school, plus renovations and new equipment for all schools, came from the 24-year, $16.3 million levy, passed in 1991.

While the school district's boundaries haven't and aren't expected to change it is 10.8 square miles DeWitt said housing developments will increase district enrollment.

Arnsperger finished her lesson by having students make their own classified advertisement, in which they offered to perform a service in order to raise money for a season pass to Kings Island. Career education is not a new concept West Clermont has had guidance counselors at its middle schools, high schools and vocational schools for years. Parker said it is long overdue in the elementary schools. "It has taken that long because money wasn't available, and probably (career education) was placed on the back burner because there were more pressing issues," Parker said.

Arnsperger said boys and girls can do the same kinds of jobs and have the same kinds of feelings. "My boys can cry a lot easier this year than boys I've had in the past because they know that's OK," she said. Arnsperger said her students never thought about work before September. She said her students thought only teachers had jobs. She told them that adults now change jobs many times in their The Cincinnati EnquirerKevin J.

He worked for 30 years at the Norwood General Motors assembly plant, retiring when the plant closed. He was the chief of the Milford-Miami Township life squad in 1970, the same year he was voted outstanding young man of the year by the Milford Jaycees. He has been a member of the Milford Masonic Lodge for more than 20 years. Appearance draws attention "I take motorcycle riding seriously, and I enjoy it, and I enjoy being with the members of the club," said the man whose Brotherhood nickname is Gorgeous George.

"I've been riding for about 35 years." Croley and others in the club insist that they are the target of intense scrutiny and harassment by police departments in the area because of their appearance and their motorcycles. "When you wear the colors of a motorcycle club, you have to accept some of the problems that go with it," said Mcintosh of the Union Township police. "But the Brotherhood has never been a target we've never approached them that way. I personally know four or five of the members. They're not killers or anything like that." Still, members of the club have been suspects at times.

"When there was incident last summer involving some guys on motorcycles and some guys in a car, the police showed up ai my house and told me I was involved," said Brotherhood member Dan Baker of Withamsville, a 38-year-old truck driver. "Even though I was working when the trouble happened. But a few days later, when they knew none of us (in the Brotherhood) had anything to do with it, they didn't come back to apologize they just dropped it." Mcintosh said the department was obliged to investigate the matter because a witness had told police that members of the Brotherhood were involved. It was determined they were not. Gary Nace, 37, of Newtonsville, whose nickname is "Beetlejuice," is concerned about the effect publicity linking the club to a drug arrest has on members' relatives.

"If you have children, parents, and they read where members of the Brotherhood were arrested for drugs, what does that tell them?" he said. "How does that make them feel?" 1989 incident lingers Most of the 50 club members agree that their problems with the police began in 1989, after a deadly shootout between members of the Outlaws and the Iron Horsemen at Vic's Brew Cue, a former bar in Mount Carmel. The shooting occurred during an event-planning meeting of presidents of area motorcycle clubs, including the Brotherhood. Members of the Outlaws and the Iron Horsemen had not been invited. One Outlaw and one Iron Horseman were killed, and several other members of those two clubs were wounded.

"Although we had nothing to do with the fight, the shootings at Vic's really hurt us more than the people who died or were injured," Floyd "Colonel" Allen, the Brotherhood's 44-year-old treasurer, other United Way agencies.
