STONELICK TWP. — A tearyeyed Neil Leist announced Oct. 17 that he would be leaving his post as the superintendent of the Clermont Northeastern Local School District. The decision came after Leist was offered a job as the superintendent of Eastern Local School District in Pike County, Ohio. Leist is from Beaver, which is in Pike County, and his parents still live there. “This has been an amazing district to work for and I am only leaving to go home to be with my family,” he said. “When we moved to Mt. Orab 10 years ago, it was so we could be with my daughters and

my parents were in good health. Now (my parents’ health) is not so good and my daughters are older, so we’re moving back.” Leist’s last day will be Dec. 31. About 10 years ago, Leist was hired to be the assistant high school and middle school principal. He then moved to the middle school for the assistant principal position and later the elementary school principal. Five years ago, he took over as superintendent. Since then Leist has made his mark on CNE by improving the school’s rating on the Ohio report cards and building an administrative team that works together. “In the last five years, we’ve put a lot of energy putting an administrative team in place that will do what needs to be done and that will

I think we’ve made improvements.” Leist also published “Superintendent Savings Strategies” about ways other districts, like CNE, can cut costs. Leist has been on local and national news broadcasts talking about the book and saving money at CNE. “He’s really been the pied piper of CNE and people around the state recognize us for a lot of positive reasons,” Johnson said. The school board held back tears as they accepted Leist’s letCNE Treasurer Brian Switzer, right, watches while Superintendent Neil Leist checks out his award. The school board and administration presented this award to Leist at the Business Partners Dinner to thank him for his years of service and contributions to CNE. Leist is resigning effective Dec. 31 to move home and take a job in Pike County.

CNE recognizes business partners By Kellie Geist-May kmay@communitypress.com

STONELICK TWP. — Seven local businesses and one volunteer were recognized at the Clermont Northeastern Business Partners Dinner Oct. 20. The dinner is a way for the district to thank and honor business leaders who are willing to work with the school, Superintendent Neil Leist said. These businesses have made donations to the school, partnered to offer assistance and job opportunities to students and more. Leist thanked the community for supporting what CNE is doing. He said more than 240 sent reservations for dinner. “That just outstanding for a community of this size and the number of businesses we have,” Leist said. “These partnerships

have been one of the key elements in our not having to run a levy in this district and still … provide opportunities for the kids.” Ohio School Boards Association President-Elect Sharon Manson of Waverly, Ohio, said, “What you’ve done is amazing and we are hoping to share some of this with schools around the state.” Seven businesses were given OSBA Business Honor Roll certificates. Those businesses were Duke Energy, ITI, Melink, Mercy Hospital, McIntire Photography, Sheffer Corp. and Tata Consultancy Services. ITI also was given the Distinguished Business Partner Award and Sheffer was given the Corporate Education Partner Award. Long-time “Voice of the Rockets” volunteer Brian Adams was named volunteer of the year. Ad-

ams passed away this summer and his family accepted the award on his behalf. The CNE volunteer of the year of award will now be called “The Brian Adams Volunteer Award.” “We appreciate all of our volunteers, but sometimes people come around who do more than volunteer. Brian was an amazing man and he lived volunteering heart and soul,” school board member Pattie Spencer said. Julie Adams, Brian’s wife, thanked the board and the community for the award. “I cannot tell you how overwhelmingly supportive the school and community have been … Brian saw the value of investing in our students,” she said.

It’s been an honor to have Mr. Leist leading our district and I know that he has great things in his future,” school board President Jayne Mummert said. “Although we’d love to hold onto his ankles kicking and screaming, we’re supporting his decision because it’s the best thing for his family.” The school board appointed Johnson as the interim superintendent effective Jan. 1.

Historical marker knocked over

By John Seney

jseney@communitypress.com

WAYNE TWP. — A roadside historical marker that recognizes the significance of a pioneer trail through Clermont County was knocked over in an apparent attempt to steal it, possibly for its scrap metal value. The post holding the marker, at 6577 Ohio 133 near Edenton, was bent over sometime Oct. 13 or or Oct.14, said Pam Helton, who rents a home on the property. Thedamagewasreportedtothe Clermont County Sheriff’s Office, and deputies turned the information over to the Ohio Department of Transportation. Josh Wallace, Clermont County manager for ODOT, said state workers removed the marker from the damaged post. He said workers will install a new post and replace the marker. “Wewillputitbackupassoonas we can,” he said. In a report on the damage to the marker, Deputy Nicholas Crouch wrote the sign was made of metal, “and it is possible someone was trying to scrap it.” Ron Hill, president of the Clermont County Historical Society, said the marker was installed in 2000 as part of the county’s bicentennial celebration. “The signs were put up throughout the county,” he said. “Every township got at least one.” The marker commemorates the path of the Bullskin Trace, an old Indian and pioneer trail that ran through the county, Hill said. Paul Emery, who owns the property, said there also is a nearby stone monument marking the trail. That monument, built in the 1920s, was not disturbed by the people who bent the marker post, he said.

CLERMONT CO. — Meals on Wheels, adult day care, home care, medical transportation – these are all services seniors in Clermont County receive through Clermont Senior Services. When voters decide the fate of Issue 13 this election day, these are the services that could be impacted. Issue 13 is the renewal request for the 1.3-mill levy that pays for services provided to seniors. The money from this levy goes to Clermont County and the commissioners contract with Clermont Senior Services to provide the services. The current levy expires Dec. 31 and, without a new levy, Clermont Senior Services will not be able to operate. “The senior services levy is the cornerstone of our funding. It’s 75 to 80

percent of our budget and it allows us to meet the required local match for state and federal dollars,” said George Brown, Clermont Senior Services executive director. “If the levy doesn’t pass, we would be faced with having to put a plan together for closing down our operations.” Brown said Clermont Senior Services provides some type of service to about 5,000 older adults. At least half of those would have to go into a nursing home to receive the necessary services - like transportation to medical appointments - especially dialysis - steady meals and adult day care. Only about three percent of the funding the organization receives is spent on senior center activities, he said. If the levy passes, it will bring in about $5.4 million per year for the next five years. According to Chief Deputy Auditor Chuck Til-

NEW CONTRACT During the Clermont County commissioners’ work session Oct. 18, the board agreed to renew the contract with Clermont Senior Services. The existing contract is for three years including two renewals. This is the final renewal year. Clermont County Adminstrator Dave Spinney said the new contract is contigent on the passage of Issue 13. Without levy dollars, the county cannot fund Clermont Senior Services, he said. Although the election is Nov. 8, the contract must be renewed this month. The commissioners are expected to take an official vote on the contract the week of Oct. 24.

Goshen Twp. police to collect unwanted drugs GOSHEN TWP. — The Goshen Township Police Department is participating in a national program to dispose of expired or unwanted prescription and over-the-counter drugs. The old drugs will be accepted 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29, at the Goshen Township Police Department. The program is free and available to anyone, not just Goshen Township residents, said Police Chief Ray Snyder. The old drugs will be boxed up and transported to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for safe disposal, he said. The DEA started the program, called the National Drug Take Back Initiative, several years ago when studies showed youths were finding old pills in their parents’ medicine cabinets and using or selling them, Snyder said. The program also prevents old medicines from being flushed into sewers and contaminating water supplies, he said. For more information, visit www.goshen-ohio.gov.

Milford superintendent to visit China By John Seney

jseney@communitypress.com

MILFORD — Dr. Robert Farrell, superintendent of Milford schools, will visit China in November as part of a program to promote the teaching of Chinese language and culture. The program is sponsored by the College Board in the United States in cooperation with Hanban, a institution affiliated with the Chinese Ministry of Education that is committed to providing Chinese language and cultural teaching resources and services worldwide.

Farrell said the College Board is paying all expenses for the trip; it will not cost the Milford school district anything. Milford offiFarrell cials have looked into the possibility of getting Chinese language instruction in the schools, Farrell said. “I’m hoping I could bring some information back to the district,” he said. Farrell will leave for China Nov. 3; he will return Nov. 11.

He said he will be traveling with other educators from the U.S. and will visit schools in Beijing and other areas of China. “Participants will gather valuable resources to help them build and expand their Chinese programs,” according to information posted on the College Board website about the trip. George Lucas, Milford school board president, said Farrell’s trip will be beneficial to the district. “He will bring back information that will be helpful to the schools,” Lucas said.

CNE’s Sumner excels on pitch, in barnyard By Ben Walpole bwalpole@communitypress.com

Summer mornings before soccer practice usually found Kylie Sumner awake early. The Clermont Northeastern High School soccer star entered her senior season as one of the most highly regarded soccer talents in the area – a Division I college recruit. So it’s not surprising that her work ethic had her greeting the dawn. She would awake very early in June. Like 6 a.m. early. She had a very specific schedule. A warmup jog? Individual skill drills before team practice? No. First she had friends to visit. Friends down on her grandparents’ farm – Stone Valley Farm – in Batavia. Her hogs. “You have to take them for a morning walk,” Sumner explains. See, Sumner isn’t just one of the area’s best soccer players. She also shows award-winning hogs in the Clermont County Fair. “It really showed me the responsibility it takes to do anything,” Sumner said. “I had to put a lot aside. It’s just an amazing experience.” Sumner has been showing animals, mainly hogs and goats, at the Clermont County Fair since she was 9, following in the footsteps of her parents, Tracey and Jim Sumner, and older brother, Tanner. Her mom has been with her every step of the process, as an adviser for the fair, helping organize the Stonelick Shamrocks 4-H Club, even helping her walk the hogs during those early summer mornings. Whereas many kids’ interest in the animals tends to wane as they get older, Tracey said, Kylie’s passion for the fair has only increased. The last two years Kylie’s hogs – Petrie in 2010 and Bobby McGee in 2011 – won Grand Champion Market Barrow honors, judged on everything from their weight to their muscle tone to their behavior. “I went to the fair this year, and I saw her pigs,” CNE head girls soccer coach Misty Goetz said. “Kylie’s definitely responsible to her team just as much as she is to her animals. Responsibility and dedication would carry

over to both of them.” Kylie was a senior captain for the Rockets this season. After earning league player of the year honors last season, she garnered all the attention of opposing defenses this fall. As a result, her scoring (22 goals as a junior) went down but her assists went up – especially helpful to CNE’s very talented freshman class. “The teams we’re playing know how good she is,” Goetz said. “Just about every game she’s had two marks on her, so she’s been the playmaker. Her assists have given a lot of opportunities to other players to score.” The coaches at Indiana State University were impressed enough to offer Kylie a scholarship. She picked the Sycamores over Ohio University and the University of Dayton, among others. When Kylie was younger, as it became clear that her talents on the soccer field might warrant playing year-round, the family had to discuss the possibility of cutting back on her time with the animals. “Definitely not,” said Kylie, still adamant about the choice all these years later. “I would never take back showing.” Tracey remembers talking about it. “She said, ‘I don’t want to stop showing my pigs.’ So we explained it to her coaches going in. They understood. They were very supportive. And fortunately the schedule was OK,” she said. “She was able to balance it. She’s

a pretty determined kid when she puts her mind to something.” Those summer days that started at 6 a.m. would often include a morning CNE soccer practice, a practice in the evening with her club team and multiple trips to her grandparents’ farm in between to tend to the hogs. Safe to say many of her Cincinnati Soccer Alliance Elite club teammates, hailing from more urban high schools like Ursuline Academy and St. Ursula, were not checking in on their pigs in between practices. “None of them get it,” Kylie said. “They’ve never seen a pig show. But I’m proud of it.” Kylie gets her new set of pigs every spring. She gives them all names – this year’s theme was old-time country music names. And then they are sold at the end of the Fair in late July. “Every year when I would have to sell my hog, I would cry and cry and cry,” Kylie said “They’re basically like my pets for three to four months.” This summer’s fair was especially emotional for the family. Kylie’s college soccer commitments next summer will likely make it impossible for her to show hogs at the 2012 fair – a fact that dawned on mother and daughter this past summer. “When we went and did the final cleaning for the pigs,” Kylie said. “We were like, ‘This is the last time.’ And of course me and my mom started crying.” Kylie said she still plans to stay involved as an adult adviser for the fair in the future. She also will help her friend Maria Hill breed pigs at the Hills’ farm in Batavia. “It’s going to be hard,” Kylie said. “I have been to fair every year since I was born.” Fittingly, her two passions cross paths, on the calendar at least, next summer. The first week of her new life as a member of Indiana State’s soccer team – a team-bonding retreat – falls on fair week. “She works very hard at both of her things that she’s in love with. And it paid off,” Tracey said. “If you’re going to do something, you do it 100 percent or you don’t do it at all. And she has been able to put 100 percent into both of them.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vote for Pattison

With experience as our former prosecutor and as a successful defense attorney, George Pattison understands the court room from both sides of the law. Combine that with his integrity and commitment, George is the most qualified attorney for municipal court judge. After elected prosecutor in 1980, George organized cases into civil, criminal, juvenile and appellate divisions. He hired outstanding attorneys to head the divisions. They have proven George to be a good judge of character and responsibility. Several remain in the prosecutor’s office including one of the top assistants; another heads the appellate division; one is our current sheriff; at least three are current judges in our courts. George also developed programs for victim-witness assistance and for those struggling within the court system with issues of child abuse, sex offenses, domestic violence and child support. Along with the sheriff and local police, George formed the multi-agency narcotics unit. He also co-founded Clermont County Citizens Law Enforcement Association and has sponsored the an-

nual police appreciation dinner for 28 years. When George left the prosecutor’s office, he returned to a successful private practice with the reputation as a firm, yet caring, attorney. Vote for George Pattison for municipal court judge. Rita McKenzie Fisher Miami Township

Vote ‘yes’ on Issue 2

Our local communities now spend as much as 80 percent of their budgets on rising labor costs, resulting in an endless demand for more levies and higher taxes. Issue 2 provides fair and reasonable reforms to help those communities balance budgets and get the cost of government under control. Without the common sense reforms of Issue 2, implemented over time, Ohio will be forced to balance their budget by reducing labor costs resulting in more workers losing their jobs. And because the system is based on seniority and not merit, the result will be eliminating jobs of public servants we want to keep, and keeping those we want to eliminate. In addition, Issue 2 prevents the payroll deduction of mandatory union dues. If people want their union and what it does, they

can pay their dues. If they do not, then they can withhold their dues. This is a big transfer of power from the union bosses back to the rank and file workers. Voters should take note of who is opposing Issue 2: The Democratic party, the unions, the “progressives,” the environmental extremists, and yes, even the President. We must change this course and vote “yes” on Issue 2. Larry Heller Miami Township

Vote ‘yes’ on Issue 3

Although we have an off-year election on Nov. 8, there is a very critical issue on the ballot - the Ohio Healthcare Freedom Amendment. Issue 3, the Ohio Healthcare Freedom Amendment, is to preserve and protect Ohioan’s freedom to make their individual healthcare and health insurance decisions. It is the important first step to stopping the federal government’s individual healthcare mandate and preventing Ohio’s state government from enacting a state-level individual mandate that requires individuals to purchase any level of insurance coverage. Over 500,000 signatures were secured by this citizen-based grass-root movement effort to

What was the best Halloween costume you ever wore? What made it so good?a

NEXT QUESTION How will you remember Carl Lindner? Did you have any personal dealings with him?

“The best Halloween costume I've ever worn is, hands down, my Jawa costume. It was Halloween 1978. Star Wars was the BIG hit in the theaters the previous year (May 1977). My mom made our costumes! I was a Jawa; my brothers were C3PO and Darth Vader; and, our friend up the street was Chewbacca. I can honestly say ‘I remember it like it was yesterday.’ I can. And I'll remember that one as long as I'm a Star Wars fan, which will be forever and a day.” J.K.

“Back in the ’80s, when my kids were small, I built a wooden frame on top of the frame of an aluminum backpack that had a head like ball on top. I then draped the whole thing in black cloth to become a 10' tall black specter, very scary.” F.S.D.

“That would be the one I wore at a neighbor's party about 15-20 years ago. It was a simple black bathrobe that looked like the ones professional boxers wear into the ring. Across the back, I had affixed golden letters which said simply ‘Iron Mike.’ I brought a pair of boxing gloves to finish it off. It was a big hit!” Bill B.

“Not really a costume, but we would put painting equipment props next to the port-o-lets at one local haunted house, and a speaker behind one of them waiting for the perfect victim to enter one. Then we would wait a minute or so, and calmly tell the occupant to ‘hurry up, we are trying to paint the basement and they are blocking the light!’”

O.H.R. “In college I went to a party as a graffiti ghost - cut eyeholes in a plain white sheet, took some markers with me, and asked other guests to ‘write on my wall. It was a great costume because everyone had such fun writing things and then reading what others wrote - I became the hit of the party. “I remember it because 40something years later I still have that sheet. We take it to outdoor concerts and events, and sit on it. It still draws attention and comments.” J.R.B. “The best costume I ever wore was actually two costumes. We had a lady in our neighborhood who gave out a dime for Halloween. Back in the early ’60s, this was a real haul. We would wear one costume and get our dime and later we would come back with a different costume later and get another dime. That is one of my best Halloween memories. D.D.

I believe GUEST COLUMNIST that education has always been extremely important but is especially so in today’s global economy. I am retired after over 40 years in public education.

I told myself back then that I would repay those people by attempting to have a similar impact on young people.

I have lived in Goshen for 40 years. It is my home. My wife and I raised our family here. We believe in the Goshen school system so much that we sent our own children to the Goshen schools.

Support senior levy

The Milford Miami Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors voted to support the Clermont Senior Services levy. We have done so for several reasons. First, Meals-on-Wheels, medical transportation, adult day care and other service provided by Clermont Senior Services are good for business. These services allow family caregivers to stay on the job instead of having to miss work to care for older family members. Secondly,ClermontSeniorServices has a proven track record of providing quality cost effective services, and the agency has a strong presence in the MilfordMiami Township community. And most importantly, this is a renewal levy which means there will be no increase in taxes. Please join the board of directors of the Milford-Miami Chamber of Commerce in voting for Is-

OEPA monitors CECOS

CH@TROOM Oct. 19 questions

amend the constitution of the state of Ohio. This is the first such effort in the history of Ohio and first in the country. Vote “yes” on Issue 3 to help stop government run healthcare, to protect state sovereignty of Ohio, and to be part of Ohio political history.

I am proud of that and am proud of Goshen. I want the students of Goshen to understand they are the best. Goshen student should believe in being a Warrior and always bleed red and gray. I care deeply about Goshen and I feel that with my expertise in education that is where I can make a positive contribution to the community I care so much about. Again, I want to thank everyone who has supported me in this endeavor. I will work tirelessly to make everything associated with Goshen local schools – excellent. Yours in Education.

George Rise is a candidate for the Goshen Local School District Board of Education on the Nov. 8 ballot.

In1972, operations began at the landfill in Jackson Township now known as CECOS. Before being shut down to accepting delivery of waste in 1988, the site became home to thousands of tons of highly toxic chemical industrial waste. Sealed in drums, the waste was stacked in pits in the ground that was lined with Joe clay and plastic Uecker being COMMUNITY PRESS before covered. As GUEST COLUMNIST time goes by, obviously the metal drums will decay and the chemicals will leak to the surrounding dirt. The theory is that the pits are impervious to ground water getting in and likewise getting out. That’s the theory. The question is, is the 1970s technology of sealing acres of soil working? Some do not think so. What happens if the nasty chemicals leak into the area ground outside of the pits? What happens if they mix with other nasty chemicals? What happens if it gets into the ground water then into the aquifer? Can the chemicals make their way into the nearby creek and then into our water supply? Who is to monitor and report if these chemicals escape? These are questions the state and federally-required “Post-Closure Plan” is supposed to address. While the report deadline is quickly approaching, this is not something you want to rush - and it has not been. I was recently asked by Jackson Township residents to assist other legislators who have been asked to intervene on their behalf. While the Jackson Township site is not officially in my district, the watershed of the site, including Harsha Lake at East Fork State Park is. I met a few days ago with the Ohio EPA in their Dayton offices. They responded to my request for a full briefing with enthusiasm and professionalism I have not often experienced in other state agencies. For several hours, five professionals and scientists ex-

plained what they have required of CECOS and what they will continue to require long into the future. They realize the stakes are high. If contaminants get out, you could have another “New York Love Canal” incident of the 1970s where an entire community was contaminated by buried chemicals, which by the way is now buried at the CECOS site. Many have reservations and conflicted feelings about the OEPA. An arm of both the state and U.S. EPA, it is sometimes considered an over-regulating agency that impedes certain progress. In this case I am finding that some are considering them to be both over-reaching and under-reaching at the same time. After looking at the considerable data that they continue to collect on the CECOS site, I at least feel comfortable that they are spending a considerable amount of time and resources to see that Republic Services (the current owners of CECOS) is held accountable to the extent the law permits them to. In dealing with the “Post Closure Plan” where it will be determined how industry and government is going to work together to continue to monitor and protect our community, we still have a long way to go to where all sides agree. My hope is that it does not become a set-in-stone static document, but rather changes with the needs of the community. Perhaps it will contain a requirement for an annual committee review to see if the plan is providing the best protection. One thing is certain, as long as there is chemical waste in the ground at the site, neither industry nor government can walk away from it. That is state and federal law. There are more meetings set up in the next couple of weeks I will be attending to continue to address this issue and I’ll represent the people of Clermont County to the fullest extent allowed.

LIFE

OCTOBER 26, 2011 • CIN-MMA • B3

Make a bowl of Chex with some kick inside One of my favorite Halloween traditions is taking the grandkids to buy their Halloween costumes. Luke is going to be a ninja, Will a SWAT team member and Jack a Transformer bumblebee. I’m not sure at this writing what Little Eva will be, but I think she’s favoring Tinkerbell.

Spicy Buffalo Chex Mix

“Help! I lost the recipe for spicy buffalo Chex mix. It was a hit for my Halloween party last year and I want to make it again.” The recipe has taken on cult status – it’s that popular. 3-4 cups each: Rice Chex and Wheat Chex cereal 2 cups favorite cheese flavored crackers 2 cups tiny pretzel twists 1 stick butter or margarine Up to ¼ cup Buffalo hot wings sauce or to taste 1 pouch dry ranch salad dressing mix 2 teaspoons celery seed

Mix cereals, crackers and pretzels. Set aside while bringing butter, hot sauce, dressing mix and celery seed to a simmer. Pour over cereal mixture and mix. Microwave on high, uncovered, 4-5 minutes, stirring thoroughly every 2 minutes. Spread on

paper towels to cool and store in covered container.

Marshmallow tombstones, balls or ghosts This is one of those recipes that lends itself to endless variations. Add up to 1 cup M&M candies, chopped peanuts, raisins or your favorite combo to the popped corn. ½ cup popcorn, popped or 1 bag microwave popcorn, popped (10-12 cups popped corn) 10 oz. bag mini marshmallows 6 tablespoons butter or margarine 1 teaspoon vanilla

Melt marshmallows and butter over low heat. Add vanilla and blend. Pour marshmallow mixture over popcorn mixture. Mix gently with sprayed spatula and form into shapes with sprayed hands or pour into sprayed l3x9 pan (when chilled, use cookie cutters in desired shapes or just cut into squares).

Scott & Sandy Autenrieb’s Zuppa Toscana soup like Olive Garden For Steve Braden, along with a “loyal reader” who wanted this for an adult

Halloween party. Reader John Walker sent in a recipe, as well – “dead on like Olive GarRita den’s,” he Heikenfeld said. I RITA’S KITCHEN couldn’t open the recipe attachment the way he sent it so I’m hoping he’ll re-send. 1½ cups sausage ¾ cup diced onion 6 slices bacon 1-1/4 teaspoons minced garlic 2 tablespoons chicken broth 1 quart water 2 potatoes, sliced 2 cups kale ¼ cup whipping cream Optional but good: pinch red pepper flakes.

Cook sausage and leave in chunks. Drain. Cook onion and bacon until onion is translucent. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add rest of ingredients and simmer up to 30 minutes.

Rita’s Zuppa Toscana soup like Olive Garden A class favorite. 1 pound Italian sausage, regular or hot (I used hot) 1 generous pound potatoes,

peeled if you want and diced 1 large onion, chopped 5-8 slices bacon, fried and crumbled 1 tablespoon garlic Several handfuls fresh greens, torn (Swiss chard, spinach or kale) 1 quart chicken broth 2 cups water 1 cup whipping cream or half & half Salt and pepper Sprinkling of Romano for garnish

Sauté sausage, potatoes, onion and garlic together. Drain fat. Add broth and water and bring to boil. Lower to simmer and cook

until potatoes are done. Add bacon, greens and cream. Heat through.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen

Soup not thick enough? Start adding instant mashed potato flakes a little at a time, stirring and allowing time for them to thicken.

Boxed made better

Blueberry muffins with lemon glaze. My sister, Madelyn Zimmerman, brought blueberry muffins to a luncheon I had. They had a tart/sweet lemon glaze that made everyone want seconds.

Madelyn told me: “It’s a box mix but I added lemon zest to the muffin batter and made a glaze with confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice. I let the muffins cool 5 minutes and then brushed the glaze on.” Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator and author.

The post earned the recognition for the work they do assisting the police department. For instance: The Explorers donate hundreds of volunteer hours a year assisting in crime prevention, community outreach and community relations. Below is a partial list of some of the ways they help deter crime or assist the police in the performance of their duties: 1. Provide roving security foot patrols, assist with directing traffic and help man the Lost Children Booth at the annual MidSummer at the Meadows festival. 2. Pass out road closure fliers in preparation for the annual holiday parade, then block streets and directing traffic during the parade. 3. They work with the investigators by attempting to make underage alcohol purchases from alcohol vendors within the township to audit their compliance with alcohol sales laws. 4.

Here are a few facts about Clermont Senior Services I would like to share some little known facts about Clermont Senior Services. Probably the biggest little known fact is that we are a private, nonprofit organization. People as-

sume that we are part of county government, but we are not. The agency was founded as a private, nonprofit organization more than 40 years ago by Lois Brown Dale, who saw that seniors needed help

to live independently. She was instrumental in getting state law changed Linda Eppler to allow COMMUNITY senior RECORDER GUEST COLUMNIST services levies on the ballot. Today, about 80 percent of our revenue comes from the Clermont County senior services levy. Fact two is the senior services levy dollars do not automatically come to Clermont Senior Services. We must apply for levy money. Clermont Senior Services has enjoyed a contract partnership with the county commissioners. This is a great partnership because we are able to combine levy dollars with

support from the United Way, state and federal dollars and other resources to provide quality services to seniors. As a private, nonprofit agency, we are governed by a volunteer board of business leaders and citizens who assure resources are used effectively. This brings me to another little known fact. Although Clermont Senior Services is a human service organization, it is run like a business. The trustees and Executive Director George Brown take performance improvement and financial accountability very seriously. We continually seek ways to operate more efficiently and raise the quality of service. Exemplary customer service is our product and one of our company values. Every dollar we

spend must benefit the customer. Here is fact four. In addition to dedicated staff, we have more than 500 volunteers who help deliver services every year. Their service helps stretch resources even further. Another fact: Our staff and volunteers do a whole lot more than transport people to medical appointments and deliver Meals-on-Wheels. Our mission is to help seniors live independently, so we do things like bathe people, wash their hair, clean their homes, go to the grocery, pick up prescriptions, install grab bars and build ramps. We provide information and referrals, help fill out forms, conduct caregiver and bereavement support groups and provide adult day care. And for those able to leave home, we

provide socialization opportunities throughout the county. It’s much healthier to spend time with other people than to sit at home alone. I admit a certain bias toward CSS. I consider it a gift to have a job I love, to work with people I respect, and do something that makes a difference in people’s lives. After nearly 17 years, I have come to know CSS inside out. I sincerely believe it is run like a fine-tuned machine, providing help to nearly 5,000 people a year. The current levy ends Dec. 31, 2011. That’s why the passage of the senior services renewal levy (will not raise taxes) Nov. 8 is so important. Without it, we would have to close our doors - after 40 years.

Lykins donates $30,100 to CASA for Clermont Kids By Kellie Geist-May kmay@communitypress.com

MILFORD — Jeff Lykins, president and CEO of Lykins Companies, presented CASA For Clermont Kids with a bright pink $30,100 check during a lunch at Padrino Oct. 17. The donation is part of the company’s golf outing profits. Lykins Companies has donated more than $290,000 to CASA since

2000, said Amanda List, executive director of the organization. “The Lykins donation is a huge part of our operating budget,” List said. “Without them, we wouldn’t be able to serve near as many kids as we do.” Since the donation was made last year, CASA volunteers - court appointed special advocates - represented 190 children, List

said. Jeff Lykins said they started donating to CASA because they wanted to be able to give back to a local organization. "This is a great group that goes largely unseen in our community and they work with children who would slip through the cracks,” he said. “It’s really a calling for these volunteers and we’re happy we can be a part of that.”

Fall garden is doing very well We got a very exciting phone call one morning last week. Our granddaughter Michelle called to say she got engaged to a fine feller named Brad Felix. Both of these kids are special we are so happy for them. Congratulations to you we love you both. Last week, Ruth Ann and I were watching television. We could hear the cat, “Summer” scratching on the screen door, it is a sliding screen door. He finally pulled the screen door open. Here he came and jumped on the couch then in Ruth Ann’s lap. He was very happy and rolled around her lap. After a while I opened the screen door and called him. He jumped down and ran outside. After this he went and curled up in his corner to sleep. Since he is the only cat we have, he is surely taking advantage of this opportunity. That is OK with us. We lost Dixie a couple weeks ago then the next week we lost Richoette. Last week there was a group of folks from the Bethel United Methodist Church that went down to Moscow for a steamboats and steamboating program. The program was held in the Rivervalley Community Center. Last week I dug the sweet potatoes. We got a bushel and they will be wonderful to eat this winter along with corn bread, fish and a good salad. Makes you hungry. Friday we had our group from church here

The late garden crops are so good. The lettuce we planted is sure doing good. We are so thankful for the good garden. It is lots of work, but so good. Sunday at the Bethel United Methodist Church they had a chili cook off. Several of the men made their good chili. There was some that was great. It would get your taste buds really working and needed lots of water to put the fire out. That is what I like. Sunday afternoon we went to our daughter Debby's house for a birthday and an anniversary celebration. We like to put several together when they are all close together. Our great granddaughter was the star at this party. Brooklyn is now walking or rather running. She has everybody's attention and

for a fish fry. There were 20 people here and each couple brought a covered dish. We George furnished Rooks the fish OLE FISHERMAN crappie that we caught here at East Fork Lake. Ruth Ann fried 62 crappie filets and they were about all eaten. This was the biggest group of folks we ever had in our house. There were several folks that had never eaten crappie and they were really impressed with the way Ruth Ann fried the fish. She rolls them in pancake mix. We pulled the last of the carrots and picked green beans last week.
