BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

West Clermont wants to hear ideas on new mascot Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com

UNION TWP. — The West Clermont Local School District wants residents to weigh in on a new mascot.

The district is accepting online recommendations for a mascot and colors for the new West Clermont High School.

The school, which will open by the 2017-2018 school year,

will consolidate Amelia and Glen Este high schools.

In recent weeks the district has been involved in community engagement regarding the new high school. A Branding Committee headed by board member Tammy Brinkman has recently been brainstorming ideas on potential mascots and colors for the school.

Brinkman said the committee is composed of students,

Brinkman

Kline

teachers and administrators among others. She said the committee has about 30 members.

Brinkman said she has been especially impressed with the feedback provided by some of the younger participants.

Superintendent Keith Kline said guidelines for suggesting a mascot and colors are posted on school website at the http://www.westcler.k12.oh.us. “(We are) also asking for rationale behind the decision,” he said.

Kline said a goal is to an-

nounce the color and school mascot that have been chosen during the school board’s May meeting.

In recent weeks FMD Architects was selected by the school board as a primary criteria architect. A criteria architect essentially comes up with a “needs list” targeting specific areas such as size of classSee MASCOT, Page A2

Pierce Township voters will have a levy on the ballot this November to support the fire department.

Fire levy to return to Pierce Twp. ballot Sheila Vilvens svilvens@communitypres.com

A fire levy will be on the November ballot for Pierce Township residents.

Acting on a recommendation from its Finance Committee, the Board of Trustees voted March 11 to place a 2.1-mill, 10year fire levy on the Nov. 3 ballot. Voters rejected a 2.8-mill continuing fire levy last November. Since then members of the Finance Committee, comprised of township residents with financial/business backgrounds, have been meeting

and considering options.

One problem residents identified they struggled with in terms of the last levy was its continuing nature, committee member Greg Ossege said. The other issue was the amount.

“Some people thought it was pretty steep,” he said.

The Finance Committee members explained that for 2015 they are able to recommend a lower millage rate due to a couple of key factors: the losses from the W.C. Beckjord Power Plant closure are not as large at this time as originally anticipated, and the committee

The Beechmont Avenue food scene continues to change as a familiar favorite closes and a new restaurant moves one step closer to opening.

Recently many traveling Beechmont Avenue likely noticed the cover over the Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill sign. Nikki Hewitt, fulfillment coordinator for Smokey Bones in Florida, confirmed that the Smokey Bones location in Cherry Grove is permanently closed.

“We had a motivated buyer who gave us an offer we couldn’t pass up,” she said.

Hewitt did not identify the buyer. The property tranfer is not yet recorded with the Clermont County Auditor’s office.

For customers who have

Bones Cards and/or gift cards, there are two other Smokey Bones locations within 30 miles where both can be honored, Hewitt said.

One is in West Chester Township, 513-777-5360, and the other in Florence, 859-3715425. » The Silver Ladle restaurant moved one step closer to opening a location in Anderson Township when the board of trustees did not oppose its liquor license request. The Silver Ladle has one location downtown on Sixth Street between Main and Walnut. According to its website it offers fast casual dining specializing in homemade soups, chilies, gourmet sandwiches and salads.

The Anderson location will be along Beechmont Avenue at Witt Road in the same building that will also be home to Dewey’s Pizza.

is recommending the fire department use its carryover balance of $1.1 million.

In considering the impact of the Beckjord closure, the committee had better numbers to work with this year, committee member Stan Shadwell said.

Last year the committee anticipated the loss of all tax dollars provided by the power plant, he said. For the fire department alone in 2014 that represented a loss of $335,000. New financial data indicates that the township will not lose all tax dollars col-

Clermont sheriff’s deputy helps secure Purple Heart parking signs for wounded warriors

By Cindy Schroeder cschroeder@communitypress.com

BATAVIA — When Clermont County Sheriff’s Deputy Danny Ruck recently came across a Purple Heart Parking Facebook page, the Marine who was wounded in Afghanistan made it his mission to get similar parking signs for his county.

Thanks to Ruck’s efforts, in mid-January, Clermont County officials installed Purple Heart parking signs in various county-owned parking lots. The Purple Heart is awarded to

those who have been injured or killed in battle.

The signs for wounded veterans who have received the nation’s oldest military decoration can now be found in parking lots for the Clermont County Administration Municipal building, Court, the Clermont Family Support Center and the Heritage building that houses the Board of Elections and the Veterans Service Commission.

Now Ruck, a Purple Heart recipient himself, and county officials are asking local businesses

COMMUNITY JOURNAL CLERMONT

to order Purple Heart parking signs.

“If we could get some businesses interested in this, that would be great,” said Ed Humphrey, president of the Board of Clermont County Commissioners. “The signs are made by the Warriors Wounded (Family Support), so the only cost to the business establishment is for shipping and installation.”

Ruck, who’s now a 26year-old Amelia resident, was serving as an infantryman with the 3rd Battalion 8th Marines, Weapons Company, Combined Anti Armor Platoon on Jan. 22, 2009, when a pressure plate IED exploded underneath his vehicle. He shrapnel sustained wounds to both legs, his right arm and above his right eye, and his left leg and wrist were burned.

He also broke his tailbone and lower back, and he had brain scarring from the blast.

Since then, Ruck had had years of physical therapy and rehabilitation.

Ruck, who’d always had a goal of working in law enforcement, joined the New Richmond Police Department in 2013 and he became a Clermont County deputy sheriff in May 2014. He didn’t forget his fellow military veterans.

Now he’s hoping that with county commissioners’ help, Purple Heart parking signs will soon be installed at businesses throughout the county.

“I think it’s an honor and a privilege,” Howard Daugherty, a recipient of two Purple Hearts from injuries he received in Vietnam, said of the parking spaces designated for heroes who were injured in battle.

“This is a great gesture,” said Daugherty, who’s also executive director of the Clermont County Veterans’ Service Commission. “I love

lice; and $229,097.94 from fire/EMS for a total of $680,823.46. These figures compare 2014 actual receipts to 2016 anticipated receipts.

The plant was officially retired last September.

This means that it was taken offline and is no longer producing energy.

The process of closing the plant is ongoing.

Many things were taken into consideration as part of this review process, committee member Ben Pugh said. The department is in need of at least one new ambulance, a new pumper and requires incredibly expensive equipment. Much of the equipment is federally mandated meaning if fire department the doesn’t have it, it could be out of compliance, Pugh said.

In February Pierce Township Trustees received updated financial numbers related to Beckjord’s retirement. Acto numbers cording shared by Clermont County Chief Deputy Auditor Chuck Tilbury, the township stands to lose nearly $700,000 revenue annually as a result of the closure. The anticipated revenue loss can be seen in several funds: $34,234.44 from the township’s general fund; $57,011.25 from the road and bridge fund; $69,463.52 from the waste fund; $291,016.31 from po-

“Nobody likes to increase taxes. Nobody likes to pay more taxes,” committee member Dave Gooch said. People do expect to have quality, professional safety services in the township. The proposal from the Finance Committee is the best alternative for keeping and maintaining the services residents expect, he said.

The last fire levy approved by township voters was in 2005.

Over the last few years, all township department heads have been “hording” money, Township Fiscal Officer Karen Register said. Major purchases were put off in preparation for the Beckjord closure. This is why the fire department and other departments currently have sizeable carryover amounts.

The fire department

can no longer delay purchases. Currently two of the fire department’s four EMS units regularly break down.

“This is a continuing problem we’re having on a weekly basis,” Trustee Bonnie Batchler said. “So it’s important to be able to replace some of these squads.”

Recently one squad broke down while transporting a patient. Because of the ongoing maintenance issues, the trustees authorized the purchase of a new life squad for nearly $191,000. It will take eight to nine months from the order date before the township receives the squad.

A 2.1-mill levy would generate $691,698 a year for the fire department and cost a homeowner $73.50 for every $100,000 in market value.

In February an architect evaluation committee was formed. The committee will review the recommendations of the criteria architect.

Following this the project will then go out to bid.

During the the March school board meeting, board member Jim Lewis said he would prefer a more unique name for the new high school than West Clermont High School.

Lewis said he would prefer something “other than just a geographic name.”

Brinkman said some of the Branding Committee members had expressed similar sentiments. However, she said Weest Clermont High School is a name the committee has agreed upon.

Students put their stamp on Clermont’s covered bridge

By Cindy Schroeder cschroeder@communitypress.com

STONELICK TOWNSHIP — Twenty-three carpen-

try and engineering design students from Grant Career Center have put their stamp on the soonto-be-rebuilt StonelickWilliams Corner Covered Bridge.

The students donated wooden plaques they’d created denoting the historic structure’s original construction date in 1878.

The plaques will hang at each end of Clermont County’s only covered bridge on a public road, and the students who created them can include photos of their handiwork in their portfolios, their instructor said.

“When we speak about craftsmanship in the classroom, this is a prime example of that,” said Chad Graybill, the junior carpentry teacher at Grant Career Center. “For the students to be a part of something like this is fantastic. I think for most people who work in the construction industry, it’s all about seeing what you’ve accomplished at the end of the day.”

The one-lane bridge with a 140-foot span is supported by a 12-panel Howe Truss. In 1840, Howe patented the truss which consists of crossed wooden members with vertical iron rods. The barn red bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

Carpentry and engineering design students at the Grant Career Center visited Clermont County’s only covered bridge on a public road. The students donated plaques to hang at each end of the historic structure.

“I haven’t seen anything like it,” student Nate Lang of Felicity said.

“Seeing it for the first time is really cool, especially the way they put all the trusses and stuff together.”

The bridge collapsed a year ago when crews were rehabilitating the one-lane structure on Stonelick Williams Corner Road near US 50. The wooden bridge had been closed to traffic since May 2010 when an overloaded garbage truck igthe three-ton nored weight limit and broke the floor beams. recognized Graybill the three students who actually created the signs – Nicole Hunter, Alex Boyer and Zack Jervis – after engineering students produced the templates.

bridge, said 57 percent of the bridge’s timbers were salvaged. Although the county’s re-using as many of the original materials as possible, safety will be a priority, Clermont County Engineer Pat Manger said.

“Essentially, it’s the

same bridge, but we’ve fortified it several different ways,” Manger said.

The new bridge shares the same design as the old one, but it will have a thicker floor, additional bracing, a guardrail and a larger weight limit. It also will have lighting and video surveillance. Damaged wood that had rotted and iron rods that had completely rusted out were replaced.

Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed in March.

“If you’re building something to last 20 to 30 years, it’s a different mindset than if you’re building something to last 140 years,” Graybill said.

“Hopefully, this project that the students have put their stamp on will be around for many years to come.”

Dairy free, egg free dinner rolls Powdered creamer is used by more than a few bakers to achieve a nice tasting, dairy free, dinner roll. I was surprised myself at how well these turned out. They tasted as good as my higher fat rolls. Nice alongside that Easter ham. These freeze well after baking.

Diabetic exchange: The diabetic exchange is 1-1/2 starch, 1/2 fat for each roll. You can make these by hand or machine.

1 tablespoon rapid rise yeast plus a couple pinches sugar 2-1/4 cups warm water (110-115 degrees) 1/3 cup sugar 1/3 shortening 1/4 cup powdered nondairy creamer 2-1/4 teaspoons salt 5-6 cups bread flour

Preheat oven to 350. Dissolve yeast and pinches of sugar in warm water. In a mixing bowl, add sugar, shortening, creamer, salt and 5 cups flour. Add yeast and mix well on low speed.

Turn to medium and beat until smooth. Add more flour if necessary to make a soft, but sticky dough. Either knead it for 6-8 minutes by machine or by hand. If doing by hand, turn out on floured surface. Knead until smooth, like a baby’s bottom.

Place in bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat top. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down and turn out onto lightly floured surface; divide into 18-24 pieces. Shape each piece into a roll. Place 2” apart on sprayed baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, 30-45 minutes. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until light golden brown.

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

These plump dinner rolls are dairy and egg free.

Diabetics can enjoy dinner rolls too My favorite cookie sheet is decades old. It cost a lot less than my restaurant quality sheets which I bought years later.

When I use that old cookie sheet, I find myself smiling, remembering when my boys were little and they shaped Rita cookie dough into Heikenfeld worms, tanks and bugs to bake on it.

RITA’S KITCHEN That’s a piece of equipment with a history.

Whenever I have a speaking engagement about food or family, I like to ask participants what their

most treasured kitchen item is. It seems like just about everybody has a favorite utensil, pot, or gadget. “Mine is my mother’s sifter”, one lady said. Another mentioned rolling pans from grandma. One young person I mentored treasured his dad’s apron: “He wore that apron every time he cooked dinner on the grill. Now I wear it”, he said. So don’t get rid of that well loved kitchen item when you replace it with new. Pass it down to keep the traditions and memories going.

Mike, a Clermont County reader, needs a recipe for dairy free rolls that are suitable for diabetics.

Here’s a good one. I baked these on

my old cookie sheet and they turned out just fine.

Can you help?

Great Scott’s chowder. Trish M. remembers this chowder fondly.

“Great Scott restaurant made the best potato, corn and jalapeno chowder. I've tried to duplicate it but it's just not the same. I know they have closed but is there any chance you can get the recipe? It was one of our families favorites.”

Fruited chicken salad from Lazarus I have a file of department store restaurant recipes. As happens occasionally, someone stopped me at the grocery and asked if I had a recipe for this particular one. Anyway, here’s the recipe with my side notes, from the Columbus store, I believe.

Salad Mix together: 4 cups cooked chicken, cubed or chunked up 8 oz. diced dates 1 cup diced pineapple -- drained 1 cup diced celery 1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted if you want

Dressing Whisk together: 2 cups Miracle Whip salad dressing 1 teaspoon sugar 1/4 cup evaporated milk 2 tablespoons lemon juice Juice from pineapple -- as needed

Pour dressing over salad and toss gently. This would be nice served atop a lettuce leaf.

Walk, have healthier life in Clermont County Walking can be fun and great exercise.

Evidence shows that physical activity, including walking, has substantial benefits for both mental and physical health. Walking is a low-impact form of exercise that is easy, free, and suitable for people of all ages and abilities. It can produce benefits that are just as impressive as those gained from other forms of exercise. There are always opportunities throughout the day to walk – all you need is some motivation and your shoes.

An obvious benefit to walking is to help maintain a healthy body weight and lower the risk of obesity; but did you know research has shown that briskly walking for 30 minutes a day can reduce the

risk of coronary heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and some cancers.

Additionally, walking is an Melisa Crain excellent way COMMUNITY PRESS to enhance well-being by GUEST COLUMNIST reducing stress and lifting your mood.

Brisk walking increases endorphins, which reduce stress hormones. Walking puts the body through the same motion as running, without the impact on bones and joints.

Other benefits include the strengthening of bones and improving balance and coordination. Because walking reduces so many physical and

Ways to protect yourself during tax season In my recent column warning readers that tax season also brings even more scammers and con artists out of the proverbial woodwork than usual, I shared ways in which you can avoid tax identity theft by mailing tax returns as early in the tax season as possible before the cons beat you to it; never Cindy Gramke giving out COMMUNITY PRESS personal information GUEST COLUMNIST unless you know who’s asking for it and why they need it, always shredding personal and financial documents, knowing your tax preparer; and remembering to check the status of your refund after filing at irs.gov/Refunds.

To learn more about ways that you can protect yourself and get your specific questions answered, you may want to plan to attend a free program being offered in the Springdale/Tri-County area. Pro Seniors and the Ohio SMP (Empowering Seniors to Prevent Healthcare Fraud) is presenting its annual Consumer Protection/Fraud Forum, “It’s Tax Season - Beware of Scams” from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Wednesday, March 25, at the Maple Knoll Village Retirement Community Auditorium, 11100 Springfield Pike.

According to Anne Fredrickson, project manager of Pro Seniors Ohio SMP and host of WMKV 89.3 FM’s “Medicare Moment” show, this “Ask the Experts” Forum will feature the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit special agent-in-charge from the Office of the Ohio Attorney General, Sue Denny from the Social Security Administration and experts from the Federal Bureau of

Investigation (FBI), Ohio Department of Insurance, Office of the Inspector General, the HHS Special Agent-in-Charge of Medicare Fraud from Cleveland, Ohio, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles Criminal Investigation division and legal expert William E. Hesch Esq. This free event will also provide free parking and a free light supper. For more information please contact Mary Day at Pro Seniors by calling 458-5515, or George Zahn of WMKV radio at 782-2753.

Doing your homework and researching as much information as you can will save you, and those you love, in the long run. Phone scams and email phishing schemes are among the “Dirty Dozen” tax scams the IRS targets, and they continue to warn that taxpayers need to watch out for identity theft, especially around tax time. Moreover, the IRS is aggressively pursuing the criminals that file fraudulent returns using someone else’s Social Security number. Although it is making progress on this front, as a taxpayer, you must be extremely careful and do everything you can to avoid becoming a victim.

“We are doing everything we can to help taxpayers avoid scams as the tax season continues,” IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said. “Whether it’s a phone scam or scheme to steal a taxpayer’s identity, there are simple steps to take to help stop these con artists.

We urge taxpayers to visit IRS.gov for more information and to be wary of these dozen tax scams.”

mental issues, it can lower health care costs. The more walking you do, the greater the benefits.

Clermont County has so many beautiful areas to walk and have fun with the entire family, including pets. The Clermont Coalition for Activity and Nutrition (CAN) has published a brochure listing 64 free and low cost locations to walk in the county. Find the brochure online at ccphohio.org, click on Clermont CAN then Places and Spaces for Fitness and Fun. To encourage individuals to walk and be active, several local government agencies offer walking programs as opportunities to increase physical activity; some examples are: » “Live Well Williamsburg” sponsored by Williamsburg

Mayor Mary Ann Lefker is a program with the goal of making Williamsburg one of Ohio’s healthiest places to live. It supports and advocates for a healthier community. » Clermont County offers the “Move and Measured Mile” program in which many Clermont County local government employees participate in physical activity and record their progress over two months. During the 2014, Move-A-Measured county employees moved 14,674 miles. » “Step It Up” six weeks program, offered by the public libraries, gives participating employees a pedometer to track their steps with the goal of increasing their steps by 10 percent each week. The goal is to walk up to 10,000 steps

per day. » The goal of the “Walk with Milford” initiative is to introduce residents to walking at the Heart Mini Marathon and encourage the public to begin neighborhood-walking groups in their areas. » “Walking with the Mayor,” provides the Amelia Village residents the opportunity to walk side by side with their elected leader.

Physical activity does not need to be complicated. You can have fun with your family and friends, and make a conscious effort toward a more balanced and a healthier lifestyle, with just a brisk walk of 30 minutes each day.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR New Richmond School District plans for Beckjord closing New Richmond School District is making up for the closing of the Beckjord Power Plant by giving employees raises and bonuses.

At a special board meeting Sept. 8, the board voted to approve raises for each of the next three years for some employees, bonuses for teachers and administrators, most received a check for $4,664. All of this totals near-

ly $700,000.

“It’s 100 percent about the kids.”

The district, as reported, will lose $1.7 million the first year in revenue due to the plant closing. New Richmond teachers already are the highest paid in the county.

According to the Ohio Department of Education student grades do not support this.

The NRVSD has more than $20 million in savings, with zero debt, this ranks 40th out of more than 600 public

schools in Ohio. Are we being overtaxed? Does the term “spend it or loose it” come into mind? The school board meets the third Monday of each month. Watch the website (www.nrschools.org) as the board calls a lot of special meetings. You can call or Email each board member.

Election for two positions will be this November.

This school board cannot fix the overspending problem, they are the problem.

CH@TROOM March 11 question A bill to allow cities to create open-container districts much like those in New Orleans or Memphis, Tennessee, appears likely to pass the Ohio Legislature this year, and Cincinnati officials hope the bill becomes law by Opening Day, April 6. Is this a good idea or a bad idea? Why or why not?

“I think it is a good idea if you want the open container district to have the smell of fresh urine, with the owners of establishments needing to basically hose down all around their places each morning to eliminate the odor.

“I think right now, there is enough opportunity to drink, with enough bars, in close enough proximity that a person can go from one bar to the next without having to bring their alcohol with them.

“I’m not against drinking, but I don’t think anyone that has been down to any sporting event or into the OTR Vine Street areas feel that not enough opportunities to drink are occurring.’

“This one surprised me a bit. Didn’t know we didn’t already allow open containers in many parts of Cincinnati.

Would not want two of my admired places to get in trouble. Lines of people waiting in the street for a table, while enjoying their ‘adult beverages’ at one of them, never seem to have any conflicts.

“The logic of letting people walk outside at another, to avoid annoying guests and breaking the law by smoking inside, makes sense to me.

I’m a recovering nicotine addict, embarrassed by how 30 years ago I must have

really annoyed so many with my habit. As I stood on a street corner in Key West, talking to a uniformed police officer, while holding a large ‘adult beverage’ I inquired about the ‘street law’ there.

His reply was exactly how I believe it should be. ‘Are you causing any trouble? Didn’t think so. Guess there is no problem.’”

D.B.

“The Reds now start the Opening Day game at 4:15.

They shut off Freedom Way and Joe Nuxhall Way for that day. They have three to four very large ‘beer trailers’ setup and 16-ounce plastic bottles are sold, one per customer for $5. The open container is controlled within that area. I am not sure the benefit of expanding this beyond certain special Reds games such as the All Star game and playoffs. If the local bars are in favor then try it on an experimental basis. You can count on folks sneaking their own alcohol into the area. Go Figure!”

McNick falls to Dayton Dunbar Nicholas L Robbe nrobbe@communitypress.com

DAYTON — All year long, McNicholas’ boys basketball team has talked about being the team to cut down the nets at the University of Dayton Arena.

Unfortunately for the Rockets, which were sectional champions for the first time since the 2001-2002 season, they had to watch another team climb the ladder and snip the twine.

Dayton Dunbar won 69-57 Friday for its ninth district title in the last 11 years.

“Obviously, we’ve always wanted to be up here (in Dayton),” senior guard Kyle Morrisroe said. “We didn’t want to settle and be satisfied with be-

ing here. We wanted to see how far we could go.”

The Wolverines took control of the game early with points in transition.

After Morrisroe put the Rockets up 4-2, Dunbar rattled off eight points in a row and eight of the next 12 to close the first quarter with a 10-point lead, 18-8.

The Wolverines led by as many as 15 points in the second quarter before McNick started to work its way back into the game.

Forward Jacob Bradley hit a runner to beat the halftime buzzer and close the gap to nine.

Moeller's Conner Ziegler has Glen Este’s Gage Branson wrapped around him in a 120-pound consolation match that Ziegler won 9-4 on March 13 at the OHSAA Division I state wrestling tournament in Columbus.

Glen Este wrestlers take shot at Schott

By Scott Springer sspringer@communitypress.com

UNION TWP. — With just 17 wrestlers on the roster, five new, Glen Este High School had a memorable season that culminated with three Trojans making the trip to the Schottenstein Center in Columbus for the Division I state meet.

The Trojans often had to forfeit weight classes, but had such a solid lineup, they took the Eastern Cincinnati Conference championship. Coach Chris Redmond was named Coach of the Year and senior Gage Branson took Wrestler of the Year honors.

Branson was Glen Este’s lone state qualifier a year ago.

That brought more determination from Branson and his father, Brett. Brett Branson coached Gage in junior high with Redmond and is a former Glen Este grappler himself. As a former Ohio State walk-on, seeing his son compete at OSU is part of the reward.

Redmond credits the fatherson relationship with getting Gage Branson to his elite level along with his teammates.

“What contributes to his success is all of his summer wrestling,” Redmond said.

“His dad has taken him all over the United States wrestling Greco-Roman and freestyle.

His Dad’s very active in his life. He’s taken some of these other guys on our team with Gage, too.”

On the state mat, Branson started off March 12 with a tough 8-5 loss to Connor Gray of Wadswroth. He then re-

bounded with a pin of Cameron Latham of Ashville Teays Valley to make it to the second day.

Though dominant most of the season, Branson’s nemesis seemed to be Moeller’s Conner Ziegler. Ziegler won three close matches with Branson and on March 13, would take a fourth in the second consolation round, winning 9-4.

“Ziegler just seemed to have his number this year,” Redmond said.

An equally compelling story for Glen Este is junior Nate Stone, who racked up 32 ECC wins this season at 195. Stone is a tribute to patience, growth and persistence.

“His freshman year he was 2-26 (at 152) and was contemplating quitting,” Redmond said. “He’s a big football player.

We just kept preaching to him that wrestling and football go hand in hand. He ended up with

In Stone’s turn at State, he lost to Grant Martin of Uniontown Lake March 12, but came back to beat Nic Kramer of Westerville North to remain alive. On the second day, the junior lost a close 3-2 decision to Brady Durieux of Massillon Perry to end his tournament.

Junior Brandon Hertel also made the trip as a 113-pound alternate. Hertel had made a dramatic cut in weight to benefit the team and just fell short at the district tournament.

Overall, Redmond had a pretty good second year as head coach, with several titles and more banners being added to the fabled “Trojan Dome.”

“I had a great group of kids this year,” Redmond said. “I can’t say enough about them.

They’re a great team and they look out for each other.”

Skeer joins Wright Motorsports Submitted by Linda Mansfield Restart Communications

BATAVIA — Wright Motorsports of Batavia announced March 12 it will field a Porsche for 20year-old Elliott Skeer of Carlsbad, Calif. to drive in the IMSA Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge USA by Yokohama beginning with the season opener March 18-20 at Sebring International Raceway in Sebring, Fla. Skeer’s ride comes, in part, through a scholarship from the series’ sanctioning body, the International Motor Sports Association, supported by Porsche and Yokohama.

It’s awarded to a driver

without prior Porsche GT3 Cup experience and is designed to Skeer attract new talent that desires to race in this highly competitive championship.

Skeer was selected as a wildcard entry in the third annual Porsche Young Driver Academy last October. His performance at the academy as well as his previous success in the sport generated his opportunity to join Wright Motorsports, one of the most successful Porsche teams ever in North America.

He drove a Mazda in the Street Tuner class in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge race at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last May, finishing second after winning the class pole with a new track record. He was a Team USA scholarship contestant in 2013. He posted six victories and 14 podium finishes in 23 Mazda MX-5 Cup races in 2012 and 2013. He also ran multiple races with the Porsche Owners Club (POC) and Porsche Club America (PCA) in a GT4class Porsche Boxster in 2013, earning podiums in every race.

According to Sebring’s preliminary schedule, the first Porsche GT3 Cup

race at Sebring will begin at 3:50 “I want to have both a safe and competitive season,� he said. “I think we will be competitive fairly quickly,� he added. “I want to be up front, challenging for podiums and wins. I want to learn as much as possible as quickly as possible.�

Skeer added he was humbled and grateful for the help he’s received and wouldn’t be anywhere without the help of Jens Walther, president and CEO of Porsche Motorsport North America.

Skeer has raced at five of the eight tracks that the series will visit in 2015 said three tracks that will be new to him are at NO-

came out on the attack.

Morrisroe mentioned in the first quarter he had trouble with quickness Dunbar’s but added that he and teammates seemed to get their legs under them more in the second half.

The Rockets outscored Dunbar 18-17 in the third quarter and were within eight points at the end of the frame.

Spurred on by Morrisroe and fellow senior guard Greg Kent, the Rockets worked their deficit to five points, 45-40, midway through the fourth quarter.

With the game the closest it had been since Dunbar led 13-8 in the first quarter, McNicholas started to get ahead of its self.

Dunbar’s pressure defense forced the Rockets to make bad passes. Just like that, the Wolverines’ lead was back up to 11 points. “There were times when we were right there and then we would make a silly mistake,� Rockets head coach Tim Monahan said. “We’d get a rebound and try to get it out as quick as we could and play hot potato with it.�

Dunbar took advantage of the miscues, putting the game out of reach soon after that.

The Wolverines advance to play the winner of Johnstown-Monroe and Columbus South. McNick finishes the season 13-12. “Our guys fought and never gave up,�

Monahan said. “We told our six seniors that they’ve opened the door for years to come.�

Bethune-Cookman University choir was wonderful Howdy folks! This morning it’s raining instead of snow. That is great! We have had enough snow for one winter.

The Bethel Methodist Church March 7, had a group of young folks from the Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach there to sing March 7. This group goes all over the country. They were a wonderful group. The Methodist Church had a meal for them before they sang. One young lady said this was the first time they ever had a welcome like they got here. Everybody sure enjoyed them and their singing. I say God bless them. After they sang, the big bus they were

traveling on took them to Lexington for their lodging.

We hope they had a George good and Rooks safe trip back OLE FISHERMAN home.

I went through several bags of bird seed so far this winter. The other day I got to really looking at the different kinds of birds at the feeders. I wrote about making a feeder out of an orange juice bottle.

The birds will empty the juice can in a day.

I have five different kinds of birds and squirrels, wild turkeys, dove, crow. The turkey and

crow eat the seeds that the squirrels scrape on the ground so nothing is lost. The different kinds of birds are red headed woodpecker, downy woodpecker, northern finches, cardinal, chickadees, blue jays, house sparrow and common grackle. I have more birds that I didn’t name, never the less they enjoy the bird feed, sweet blacks thistle seed. It is so enjoyable to sit and watch the birds and other of God’s creatures enjoy the feed.

Some folks said they

have seen deer around their feeders. I have not seen the deer, but there are deer tracks around our feeders in the snow.

Well they have to eat too. I have walnuts I picked up last fall and the squirrels are enjoying some of them.

I was talking to Bill, he said a feller told him this feller operates a hotel up by Lake Erie.

He said he is keeping his hotel busy with the ice fisherman. He said the ice was 25 inches thick and the fishermen are catching their limit of

perch and walleye. They can drive their vehicles out to their fishing shacks. I used to like to go fishing when the ice was safe. That has been several years ago. That is the time you can catch a bucket full of bluegills. They are good out of the cold water.

I don’t need an alarm clock to wake up in the morning. Chester takes care of that. He does like to have his breakfast then go outside for a while. The other morning about 5:30 a.m. he jumped up on me and

laid there for a few minutes then jumped down off the bed. I looked at the clock then went back to sleep. All at once he jumped on me then just laid there and looked at me. The time that time was after 6 a.m. so I got up. What a joy he is.

TRUE LOVE LASTS A LIFETIME...

It’s more than a shoulder.

It’s a ladder to the stars.

Clarence and Ethel Eastridge, Leesburg, Florida, former Milford, OH residents, celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary on March 15th. They were married in 1940 in Barbourville, Kentucky. Clarence was the driver of the bus Ethel rode to Knox Central High School each day.

When pain keeps you from sharing your view with the ones you love, we can help.

We do more than diagnose bone, muscle, tendon and joint pain; we provide expert treatment and compassionate care.

Because what moves you, moves us.

We’re Mercy Health—we do more than orthopaedics and sports medicine.

We do movement.

They followed their daughters from Barbourville to Milford, OH in 1966 where they lived until moving full-time to Florida in 1997.

Ethel retired as a guidance counselor from Goshen Middle School while Clarence retired from Roadway in Tri-County, OH. Two daughters and sons-in law, Gary and Patty Teague (Leesburg, FL) and Judy and Willie Cobb (Longboat Key, FL) celebrated with family the weekend of the 15th in Leesburg.

Pollen, mold counting resumes through the end of November Pollen and mold counts are again available. This is a public service provided by the Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency each year during pollen and mold season, from February through the end of November.

Pollen and mold counts are reported after 10 a.m., Monday through Friday.

There are several ways that residents can access pollen and mold counts: 1. Visit SouthwestOhioAir.org.

2. Follow Twitter.com/ swohioair.

3. Like Facebook.com/ SouthwestOhioAir. 4. Call the Pollen and Mold Hotline at 513-9467753. “During May, we see a rise in pollen from hickory, pine, oak and walnut trees,� monitoring and analysis supervisor Anna Kelley said. “Ragweed is the primary pollen allergen in the fall, usually appearing in late August through most of September.�

Molds tend to be more active during the wet, rainy periods of spring and again in the fall as na-

ture begins to decay before winter.

There are steps allergy-sufferers can take to ease their symptoms. One of the easiest tactics is to avoid being outdoors in the morning when pollen counts tend to spike. It may be helpful to take a shower at the end of the day to remove pollen and mold from one’s hair and skin. Additional suggestions can be found in the Agency’s free, downloadable brochure, Living With Allergies.

The Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency

works with government businesses, agencies, communities and citizens to achieve and maintain healthy air quality for Southwest Ohio.

The agency is a division of the Hamilton County Department of Environmental Services, which also encompasses the Hamilton County Recycling and Solid Waste District.

Residents honored for work with abused women Women Helping Women recently recognized Joel Hood of Batavia Township and Sarann Mock of Hyde Park along with three others for going above and beyond for the survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking that Women Helping Women serves. Each year, WHW selects those who have made significant contributions to the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission and recognizes them at this yearly event attended by staff, board members, volunteers and community supporters.

Det. Hood received the Thomas R. Obersch-

midt Award Recipient.

The award, named for Cincinnati Police Department Lt. Oberschmidt, recognizes individual police officers for their sensitivity to survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence and excellence in these investigating crimes.

Hood is a seven-year veteran of the Cincinnati Police Department and is in his third year at Personal Crimes Unit. He conducts himself as a seasoned veteran of the unit. While working on cases, he treats his survivors with compassion and respect. He seeks

out learning opportunities and involves himself in cases that are different, heinous and highprofile in order to accelerate his knowledge of these investigations.

His colleagues describe him as someone who casts a positive light on the Cincinnati Police Department every time he meets someone in the community.

Hood is married and has a 1-year-old daughter. He attended Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bible School and College where he graduated Magna Cum Laude. He is a board member at his church and is very active in volunteer work.

He represents the Cincinnati Police Department on the National Day of Prayer on the

Hamilton County Courthouse steps every year.

He is a also a City Gospel volunteer Mission where he serves food, leads worship services, and befriends people in need by spending time with them at the mission.

Sarann Mock is the Hamilton County Founderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Volunteer Award Recipient. Mock has been a volunteer with Women Helping Women since completing new advocate training in March, 2013. She volunteers as an on-call hospital advocate for at least two shifts per week as well as volunteering at arraignment court every Thursday morning.

This equates to more than 246 hours plus 1,339 on-call hours of volun-

teer time provided. Sarann is very dedicated and selfless and offers to take on extra shifts when her schedule allows. She has also been fondly described by the Women Helping Women as being advocates generous, thoughtful, happy and compassionate and shows all of these qualities while working with survivors.

After her 37-year career in nursing came to a close, Sarann was in search of some way to give back to her community. Being someone who is very open to different backgrounds, cultures and situations, she wanted to uplift women in their personal lives, business and society in general.

21 years of service THANKS TO REX PARSONS

Sharon Woodrow, center, is recognized at a recent Batavia Township Board of Trustees meeting for 21 years of service to Clermont Developmental Disabilities.

Woodrow retired at the end of last year. Presenting her with the award is Trustee Randy Perry and Superintendent of Clermont Developmental Disabilities and Trustee Jim Sauls.
