Canoeing on the river
What prior to now has been the occasional recreational activity, one Hamilton resident sees profits in water sports on the Great Miami River.
Misty Duff and her husband founded GMR Riversports. Though it will be based in Colerain, the business will bus interested parties to just below the last low-level dam in Hamilton. Then, they make the 7.5-mile trek back to GMR’s headquarters in Colerain.
Previously, the nearest offering of a similar service was on the Little Miami river at Morgan’s Canoe and Livery.
Duff said the business is starting with 10 canoes and 10 kayaks and hopes to grow into tubes and rafts eventually. Operations will begin in June. Tune in tomorrow for a story about Duff’s business.

S.W.A.T.
The Hamilton Police Department is attempting to temporarily allow others into the more adrenaline-packed portion of their crew: the Special Weapons and Tactics team.
Think Space Camp and you’ve got the right idea. For $375, anyone with a clean background check can participate in two Saturdays that include demonstrations, paint ball and “hands-on automatic weapon use.”
Now anyone can be Colin Farrell for a day.
The department estimates it may make as much as $4,000 a month with the program.
