Helmet brings back memories

When Chris Freeman was 12 years old he spotted an army helmet in a barn on a farm near his home in Froxfield, England.

He went back to the farm several years later and found the helmet sitting on a shelf.

He held on to the helmet, and several years ago began to look into its history. The chinstrap of the helmet had a name and serial number which were still legible.

The helmet belonged to Pfc. Harold D. Webb of Amelia, a member of U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division.

Twp. to fill park board

By Mary Dannemiller

mdannemiller@communitypress.com

Goshen’s park board could have two new members by the end of the month.

The township trustees are interviewing candidates for seats left vacant by Marcia Huff and Robert Harbour.

Both Huff and Harbour are leaving the board because they no longer live in the township, said board member Bill Schmidbauer.

“Marcia’s last meeting is Sept.

13 and she has to resign by Oct. 3,” Schmidbauer said.

“Robert works in Los Angeles and has a resiTrustees Jack dence here, but having him Kuntz, Mike teleconference Keeley and in became too ifficult.

Community the and Economic candidates. Development Director Lou Ethridge said several people applied for the positions, but only four will be interviewed.

“There is no surprise as to the number of people interested in being considered for the position of park district board member,” he said. “It’s an important leadership role that can truly shape the future of the Goshen community.”

Trustees Jack Kuntz, Mike Keeley and T.J. Corcoran will interview the candidates and ultimately decide who the new board members will be.

“We put ourselves at the disposal of the trustees for any help they wanted, but they decided to do it on their own because they didn’t want to appear as though they were influenced in any way,” Schmidbauer said.

Corcoran said he was looking for someone who would work well with the three remaining park board members.

“I want someone who is committed to Goshen and someone who brings something unique to the table,” he said. “They need to have some kind of skill or insight that complements the other members of the board and will work with them as a team to reach a common goal.”

Corcoran also said he did not know when the trustees will make a final decision.

Safety fair remembers Robinsons

By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com

Almost a year after Wes and Doris Robinson were killed by a drunk driver on Ohio 28 in front of the Goshen Kroger, their family members gathered in the same spot to educate people on the dangers of drunk driving.

The Goshen Township Police Department and the Goshen Township Fire & EMS Department were there Saturday, Aug. 29, demonstrating the effects of drunk driving.

Hot dogs, hamburgers and drinks were sold to raise money for the Goshen Local School District.

“We want to raise awareness,

especially among young people about drinking and driving,” said Bev Pennington, the Robinsons’ daughter. “It’s a tragedy that never should have happened.”

George Glecker, who was driving the car that struck the Robinson’s vehicle, is serving a 14-year sentence for aggravated vehicular homicide.

Goshen Lions Club donate glasses

Solutions sought for school

By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com

More than 2,000 people across the world will see things a little more clearly thanks to a donation made by the Goshen Lions Club.

After two years of collecting old pairs of glasses from Goshen residents, the club donated more than 2,000 pairs of used eyeglasses to the LensCrafters in Eastgate Mall Thursday, Aug. 20.

LensCrafters participates in a program called OneSight, which provides glasses and eye care to people around the world who normally be able to afford those services. “We need around two million pairs of used eyeglasses to support our glob-

Joe Spaulding, former president and current member of the club, said his group placed donation boxes in Goshen schools, the township hall, the local library and even received donations from Evans Funeral Home. “A lot of it was word of mouth,� he said. “We tried to make people aware that

these boxes were available and we had a pizza party for the class that got the most donations to get the kids involved.�

After LensCrafters receives the glasses, they will be cleaned and repaired for their new owners. “It’s great that this is out there for those who need it,�

Spaulding said. “We made a big effort and we’re happy to be able to provide these glasses.�

Anyone interested in donating used glasses can drop them off at any area LensCrafters.

The old Sheila Green Elementary School sits vacant in the heart of Goshen Township.

Since the school closed in 2001, a number of ideas have been discussed for the site, including a community center or YMCA. None of those plans have worked out and Goshen Local School District officials and members of the community are still looking for a solution.

The school was built in 1903 and closed when the new high school was built and other district buildings were renovated. At the time of its closing, fifth- and sixthgraders attended the school.

Superintendent Charlene Thomas said the district put the school up for sale and received several offers, but none of the offers worked out.

In 2008, the school was taken off the market when the district entered into a contract with the Goshen Community Improvement

Corporation (CIC). The CIC was formed as a non-profit corporation separate form township government to oversee development projects.

T.J. Corcoran, a member of the CIC and a township trustee, said the CIC has had ongoing discussions with the YMCA about the possibility of a YMCA branch going on the site. However, nothing has been finalized.

Meanwhile, the contract with the CIC expires at the end of September, and discussions have begun on an extension.

At the school board’s Aug. 10 meeting, Treasurer Todd Shinkle proposed an extension of the contract that would allow the district to opt out if an attractive outside offer was received. The CIC would have 60 days to match the offer under the proposed extension.

Board member Sue Steele suggested the new contract be for two years, Thomas said she and Shinkle would meet with the CIC and get back to the board at its September meeting.

B o a r d m e m b e r Mary Gray, who is the district liaison on the CIC, said she got the Thomas impression the YMCA was not that interested in the site because the demographics were not there to justify a Y branch.

She thought a survey should be conducted to find out what the community would like to see at the site.

The district could do the survey in conjunction with he CIC, she said. “It would be nice to find out what the people want,�

Gray said.

Thomas said the Ohio School Facilities Commission did an analysis of the building before it closed and decided it was not cost-effective to renovate it. However, she thought it would be possible for an outside buyer to renovate it.

She said the school site, at the corner of Ohio 28 and Goshen Road, was valuable real estate.

Family, friends remember visionary Lois Brown Dale

By Sharon Brumagem clermont@communitypress.com

The Aug. 27 memorial for Clermont Senior Services Founder Lois Brown Dale evolved into a “homecoming” for family members, friends, former employees, political officials and others whose lives Dale touched.

Dale died Aug. 16 at the age of 91.

More than 250 gathered at the Adult Day Service Center, formerly the LBD Friendship Center, to share memories and exchange “Lois’ life lessons.” Guests watched a PowerPoint presentation, browsed through

books she authored, looked at pictures or gathered in groups or around tables, sharing how she touched them.

During the late 1960s, Dale began pioneering at the local, state and federal levels for services for older adults that would keep them safe and independent in their own homes.

She also helped organize the Clermont chapter of the League of Women Voters, establish the Clermont County Public Library; bring United Way funding to the county; was named Pacesetter of the Year by the Clermont Chamber of Commerce; and received the

Cincinnati Enquirer’s Woman of the Year award.

“To have a soft, gentle way with people, and at the same time be able to clobber those who stood between her and her vision is extraordinary,” said Clermont Senior Services Executive Director George Brown.

“My parents raised me personally; Lois raised me professionally,” said Cindy Jenkins Gramke, associate director/COO of Clermont Senior Services. She was hired by Dale in 1983, left the agency in 1998 to become director of Clermont 20/20, and then returned to Senior Services last fall.

“She taught me to always

do what is right and was glad I came home.”

Clermont County Commissioner Bob Proud, who once served as public relations/volunteer coordinator under Dale, said she influenced him to pursue a career in politics. “I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for Lois.”

Many praised daughter Karen Brown Kelly of Indian Hill for the loving care she provided her mother during the last three years.

In recent years, Lois and I had a connection that we didn’t share in our professional lives. To have watched the daughter/ mother caregiver situation

Dale’s commitment to older adults lives on through

her family who requests that memorials be made to the agency she founded, Clermont Senior Services, or to Hospice of Cincinnati.

Foreclosures not affecting tax budgets in Clermont County

By Theresa L. Herron therron@communitypress.com

As of July, foreclosures are not affecting any public budgets in Clermont County.

That could change in the future, said Linda Fraley, Clermont County auditor, but no township government, library, village, city or school district can say they lost money this year because of foreclosures.

Early in 2008 the auditor’s office staff started getting lots of questions about how public budgets would

be affected by foreclosures.

Chuck Tilbury, chief deputy auditor, said the office staff didn’t have good information because they are not responsible for that data.

He initiated a project to see what was taking place.

Information was gathered from the recorder’s office and separated into two categories: Properties placed in foreclosure and properties sent to a sheriff’s sale. In the first, people had the chance to work with their lendors to stay in their homes or they could sell. In

the second, people were not able to keep their homes.

Sometimes sheriff’s sales can be more than a year after the foreclosure is filed, Tilbury said. Some properties have more than one foreclosure filed against them.

In 2005, 812 foreclosures were filed in Clermont County. That increased to 1,288 in 2008. Foreclosures sent to sheriff’s sale were 371 in 2005 and 566 in 2008, he said.

The percentage increase of foreclosures from 2005 to

2008 is 58.62 percent. The percentage increase in sheriff’s sales for the same period is 52.56 percent.

That data was separated into townships, villages/ cities and school districts.

Townships had the greatest number with 482 out of the 566 going to sheriff’s sale.

The larger numbers are in the most populated townships: Union and Miami.

Amelia had a large number, mostly in new subdivisions.

“For us to have 566 foreclosures go to sheriff’s sale is a big number,” Tilbury

said. That is about 1 percent of the 56,000 single-family homes in the county.

In the past, foreclosures were not considered when determining value because they were not sold by the buyer. That is changing, Tilbury said, because the subsequent sales do affect value.

At a sheriff’s sale, the price is usually below the assigned value, he said.

Most of the time, the houses are bought at sheriff’s sales by the lendor involved, who then resells

www.ucclermont.edu

almost always at or above market value.

The lendor is responsible for paying taxes until the property is resold.

If houses were selling at sheriff’s sales and in subsequent sales for half market price, inside millage and collections would suffer, Tilbury said. But they are not, according to the data collected.

Another reason for this study, he said, were the comments about how boarded-up houses, high grass and disrepair affect property value.

In 2002, auditor’s office employees took photos of all single-family homes in the county and new photos were taken this year.

After randomly choosing homes in foreclosure, the photos show no real problems. Many photos show improvements made since 2002.

Things may change, but right now in Clermont County, foreclosures are not affecting property values.

“We cannot predict the future, but this is what we know today,” Tilbury said.

“If (a local government) says it is losing money because of foreclosures, the taxpayer needs to ask ‘show me,’” he said.

This information can be found on the Web site, www.clermontauditor.org.

Construction moves Milford High School marching band practices to elementary school

By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com

Summer is usually a slow time for Principal Don Baker and the rest of the staff at McCormick Elementary.

However, this year the school is host to 128 members of the Milford High School marching band while construction continues at the high school.

“It’s been a challenge trying to keep the building maintained,” Baker said. “Typically we get everything ready for it to be used for the first day of school, but now we’re having to work at that every day. But the kids have done a fantastic job of respecting our building and the boundaries we set for them.”

Though the elementary school has a smaller practice space than what the band is used to, band director Brian Brown said getting away from the high school has been good for his students.

“We were a bit concerned with the logistics of what it was going to be like, but it’s very quiet over here without a lot of the distractions we have at the high school,” he said. “The facility is a bit small,

but we’ve made due and it really has been a fabulous experience.”

Senior Mason Gatch, who is the band’s drum major, said while the elementary school’s size makes rainy day indoor practice difficult, the overall experience has been good.

“This is the closest we’ve come

to going away for band camp and a lot of schools do that every year,” he said. “It’s been a nice change of pace for the band.”

The band’s 12-hour per day practice schedule has required the school’s custodial staff work nights and Baker said he appreciated their extra effort.

“They’ve had an additional person here for evenings and they’ve been so flexible,” Baker

said. “If the situation has added extra stress, they haven’t showed it. The custodial staff here is wonderful.”

Brown said band parents also have had to make some adjustments to their schedules because of the new practice location.

“It’s probably closer for some people, but it’s further away for others,” he said. “But the boosters and parents have really done a

Milford school board tours MHS construction site

By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com

The Milford board of education got its first look at the progress made throughout the summer at the Milford High School construction site during a tour Tuesday, Aug. 18.

Construction began at the site in February, but workers used the summer months while students were away to build walls, pour cement and install copper piping in the new ninth-grade wing.

“I was thrilled to see what they had done,” said board President Debbie Marques. “They made a lot of progress in a very short time, especially with all the rain we’ve had this summer.”

Superintendent Bob Farrell said he was most impressed by how much work had been completed on the ninth-grade wing.

“The ninth-grade wing is really the most exciting part,” he said.

“You can really begin to see where classrooms are going to be and where the second floor is. It kind of gives you goosebumps to think about how neat it will be when it’s all built up.”

While the pace of construction will slow now that students have returned, the project remains on schedule, said Turner Construction project manager Joe Newton.

The walls in the new music wing are 25 feet high.

“It’s going to be a challenge to get everything done by next fall, but we’re ready for it,” he said.

The project will not get in the way of daily classes, but construction issues with the gymnasium are preventing it from being used

until January.

All basketball games in the first half of the season will be played away, the homecoming dance will be at Pattison Elementary and volleyball practice will be held at Milford Junior High School.

Turner Construction site manager Joe Newton explains how the gymnasium will connect to the new music wing.

“I’m very impressed with the detailed planning Turner Construction has done,” Farrell said.

Ohio uses several measures to score report cards

Ohio uses several measures to determine a school’s and district’s ranking on the state report cards and they are all based on achievement.

For instance, when students begin taking the achievement tests in thirdgrade, they are measured in reading and math. Seventyfive percent of the students must pass the two tests for the district to receive one indicator.

The ranking has a total of 30 indicators.

In the fourth-grade, 75 percent must pass tests in reading, math and writing; fifth-grade: Reading, math, science and social studies; sixth-grade: Reading and math; seventh-grade: Reading, math and writing; eighth-grade: Reading, math, science and social studies.

In the 10th grade, again 75 percent of students must pass tests in reading, math, writing, science and social studies.

That 75 percent jumps to 85 percent in 11th grade with tests in the same subjects.

The tests are used for other indicators as well. For instance, the performance index measures the achievement of every student during the school year.

This is a weighted average that includes all tested subjects and grades and untested students. The index can be compared across years to show district achievement trends.

The value-added rating represents the progress a district has made with students since last school year.

A score of above means students have achievement more than one year of progress, met means students achieved one year of knowledge and below means students didn’t make as much progress in a year as expected.

Adequate yearly progress is a federallyrequired measure.

Every school and district must meet AYP goals that are set for reading and math proficiency and participation, attendance and graduation.

These goals are applied to 10 student groups. If any one of these groups does not meet AYP in reading or math or in participation, attendance and graduation, the school or district does not meet AYP. Not meeting AYP for consecutive years will have both federal and state consequences.

Federal consequences could include a school or district being identified for improvement. State consequences could include a reduction in the state’s rating designation.

The 10 groups are all students, economically -disadvantaged, American Indian/Alaska native, Asian or Pacific Islander, Black or non-Hispanic, Hispanic, limited English proficient, multi-racial, students with disabilities and White or non-Hispanic.

Schools can be rated excellent while the district is efficient, based the rating of each building.

Milford wins big, CNE struggles Goshen goes down in heartbreaker

By Adam Turer eastsports@communitypress.com

Clermont Northeastern High School dropped its season opener to Cincinnati Country Day, 21-7.

The Rockets’ defense gave up two big scoring plays in the first half and the offense struggled while playing from behind all night.

CCD running back Max Dietz broke a 65-yard scoring run in the first quarter to put CCD up 7-0 and added a 65 yard touchdown reception in the second quarter.

He also scored on a run in the first quarter and kicked all three extra points to account for all of his team’s scoring.

The Rockets added a touchdown late in the fourth quarter. CNE hosts Western Brown at 7:30 p.m., Friday, Sept. 4.

Milford

Milford High School head football coach Pat Fagan wants his team to be able to run the football and control the tempo of games this season.

The Eagles ran for more than 300 yards in a 43-0 drubbing of Hughes Center High School in the season opener.

Mission accomplished.

Nate Termuhlen led the ground attack for the Eagles, finishing with 156 yards rushing and 3 touchdowns.

Milford led 6-0 after the first quarter, but exploded for 23 points in the second frame to take a commanding lead into halftime.

“It took our offense a lit-

tle while to get on track,” said Fagan.

The defense helped ignite the offense, recording a safety to start the second quarter rally.

Quarterback Sean Taylor hooked up with tight end Jackson Casto for a 13-yard scoring pass, sandwiched between a pair of Termuhlen touchdown runs.

The rout was on and the scoring was more than enough to preserve the win for the Eagles.

“We played very aggressively on both offense and defense and we want to continue to play with that kind of intensity,” said Fagan.

The defense was dominant for the Eagles.

Hughes was able to muster just 48 yards of total offense. The Big Red offense

crossed midfield once.

Alex Prall and Brandon Fulton led the Eagles defense, which forced five Hughes turnovers.

“I was real pleased with our defense,” Fagan said.

Reggie Carson and Ben Hittner added third quarter touchdown runs to cap the scoring. The Eagles reserves saw most of the action in the second half.

Milford hopes to carry the momentum from the win over Hughes into the week two matchup at Walnut Hills.

“That was a good way to start off the season,” said Fagan.

The Eagles play at 7:30 p.m., Friday, Sept. 4, at Walnut Hills.

Goshen

Goshen High School lost a heartbreaker in the season opener.

Ross High School scored with 90 seconds left to take a 21-14 lead and held on for the win.

The Warriors tied the

game with 2:30 to play, but a big kickoff return set up the game-winning drive for the Rams.

Turnovers put the Warriors in an early hole, as Ross scored its first points on a 53-yard fumble recovery.

Goshen’s offense hurt itself in the first half and entered halftime trailing 14-0.

Two big plays turned the tide in the second half.

Jamie Ashcraft broke a 57-yard touchdown run in the third quarter to score the Warriors’ first points of 2009 and cut the Ross lead in half.

Ashcraft finished with 121 yards on 16 carries.

The Warriors tied the game in the fourth quarter when freshman Marcus Casey took a pass from quarterback Alex Owens and sprinted 51 yards for the score.

Just over two minutes of solid defense would at least send the game into overtime, and possibly give the Warriors a chance to get the ball back and win in regula-

But a crucial breakdown on special teams allowed the Rams to return the kickoff to their own 45-yard line.

Needing just 55 yards for the go-ahead score, Ross was able to put together the winning drive in less than a minute.

Milford, CNE, Goshen boys’ soccer kicks in

By Anthony Amorini aamorini@communitypress.com

The high school soccer season has kicked off.

Here’s a look at the local squads:

Milford

Winning conference, sectional and district titles in 2008 served to raise the expectations of Milford’s boys’ program.

Milford finished at 17-13 last fall.

The Eagles posted a 5-0 record in its Fort Ancient Valley Conference Buckeye Division to take first place in the league in addition to its Division I postseason titles.

“We look forward to defending our FAVC title and making another run through the state tournament,” fourth-year head coach Brian Croston said.

Croston is 43-5-10 overall at Milford.

Only three starters return this season for Croston including Connor Clark, Andy George and Jeff Michael.

Michael finished seventh in the FAVC Buckeye Division last season with 24 points including 10 goals and four assists.

Ryan Grothaus, a 2009 Milford graduate, led the FAVC Buckeye Division with

SHEILA MICHAEL/CONTRIBUTOR

Milford's Jeff Michael, seen here playing in a 2008 contest, is one-of-three returning starters for the Eagles this fall.

39 points including 15 goals and nine assists.

Grothaus was named as the FAVC Buckeye Division Player of the Year following the 2008 campaign as Croston was named Coach of the Year in the league.

Ben Jones, also a 2009 Milford graduate, was close behind with 35 points including 12 goals and 11 assists.

A quintet on newcomers will also immediately contribute including Joey Hammond, Max Ryan, Bobby Thaxton, Ryan McHenry and Scott Koch.

Milford travels to face Princeton at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 3, before playing another road game against

Oak Hills at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 8.

The Eagles return home to host Harrison at 7 p.m.

Thursday, Sept. 10.

Goshen

Nathan Smith begins his first year as Goshen’s head coach with a group of seven returning starters easing his transition into the program.

The seven returning starters include senior Christian Cox, senior Nate Godby, senior Anthony Vickery, senior Zach Carver, junior Cody Rodgers, sophomore Joey Ward and sophomore Jack Gaffney.

“We expect to be strong competitors in the league

with a focus on control, organization and powerful play,” Smith said via e-mail.

Smith expects to see immediate contributions from a number of new additions including senior Brandon Harker, senior Chris King, senior Garth Whitaker, senior Aaron Walker, senior Sean Bell, senior Brian Ellis, senior Aaron Rodgers, senior Cevin Hogg, senior Storm Huffaker, sophomore Marc Taylor, sophomore Austin Hayslip, freshman Matt Estep and freshman Emelyan Fastovich.

Clermont Northeastern

First-year head coach Ryan Wood takes over the Rockets’ program after Clermont Northeastern posted a 1-13-1 record in 2008.

But with six returning starters, Wood suspects the Rockets will finish with a much improved record in 2009, the coach said via email.

“I look forward to the season and truly believe that this team will have the biggest turnaround in the league from last year,” Wood said. “They have a great attitude, work well together as a team and keep trying no matter what the score is.”

The Rockets’ returning

starters include Joey Bray, Nathan Tipton, Taylor Shinkle, Tom Carwell, Taylor Faecher and Erik Dearduff.

Senior Seth Varner will also be a key contributor for the Rockets.

McNicholas

The McNicholas High School boys’ soccer team went 11-2-5 in 2008 and secured its second straight GCL crown.

The Rockets will look to make it three in 2009 as McNick returns a number of talented players from that team.

Some of the top players to watch will be junior defender Kevin Easley, junior midfielder Austin Pierce, senior forward Andrew Sherman, senior goalkeeper Austin Reid and sophomore defender John Sandman.

Head coach Tony Ripberger, in his first year at the helm, said the team’s experience would be a key to the Rockets’ success in 2009.

“This team returns a lot of players who played big minutes last season,” he said.

“That experience will be a big help and the tough schedule should help prepare the team for another playoff run.”

CNE, Milford girls begin soccer Goshen welcomes new coach

By Anthony Amorini aamorini@communitypress.com

The high school soccer season has kicked off.

Here’s a look at the local squads:

Clermont Northeastern

The Rockets aim to defend its SBC American Division title this fall with a quintet of returning starters leading the way.

Clermont Northeastern finished at 12-2-2 in 2008 while winning an SBC American Division title.

Returning starters for second-year head coach Misty Goetz include senior Jordan Hanley (forward), senior Emily White (forward), senior Kelsey Stanton (sweeper), senior Ashley Gilkerson (keeper) and sophomore Kylie Sumner (midfielder).

“The outlook is just as promising as last year,” Goetz said via e-mail. “The seniors we lost from last season were replaced with a mix of veterans and newcomers and the combination is proving to be a success.”

A number of newcomers look to immediately contribute for Clermont Northeastern including junior Lindsey Berning (defender), senior Cassidy Weber (defender), junior Maggie Sullivan (midfielder), sophomore Sarah Mantel (defender), senior Jennifer Werring (forward), senior Sophie Beuke (forward), freshman Emma Wright (midfielder) and freshman Madison Purdy (defender).

Milford

Offensive firepower won’t be an issue for the Eagles on the heels of Milford’s successful 16-2-1 season in 2008.

Senior C.G. Bryant and sophomore Morgan Wolcott both return after the forwards combined to score 27 goals last fall.

Wolcott led the Fort Ancient Valley Conference Buckeye Division with 43 points including 17 goals and nine assists.

Bryant contributed 29 points with 10 goals and nine assists.

During its 16-win season, Milford won the FAVC Buckeye Division title with

an undefeated conference record of 5-0.

Anderson (13-4-2, 4-1) finished second in the FAVC Buckeye Division followed by third-place Loveland (79-1, 3-2).

“We are trying to win back-to-back league championships but Anderson and Loveland will be good, tough opponents again this year,” fifth-year head coach Patrick Winkler said. “We have a total of 14 girls returning so we are going to rely on that experience.”

Alongside Bryant and Wolcott, Milford’s returning starters include junior Tori Calderhead (defender), senior Kelly Asher (midfielder) and senior Krista Adams (defender).

Numerous additional players will also contribute including sophomore Kelly Yee (forward), junior Brittany Prato (defender), junior Lindsey Bartsch (midfielder) and sophomore Madeline Bunnell (keeper).

Goshen

On the heels of an 8-6-3 season, first-year head coach Khary Williams hopes to see the Warriors compete for a Southern Buckeye Conference American Division title in 2009.

A large group of experienced players return for Williams including senior Kim Atwood (forward, midfielder), senior Alex Burnett (keeper), senior Courtney Hess (midfielder, forward), senior Jade Morris (defender, midfielder), senior Jordan Morris (defender, midfielder), junior Meredith Budde (forward, midfielder), sophomore Trista Freytag (defender, midfielder), sophomore Kelsi Steele (midfielder), sophomore Jessica Wilcher (defender), Courtney Taylor (midfielder, defender), sophomore Allie Jeandrevin (midfielder), junior Tiffany Dority (defender), junior Stephanie Smith (keeper, midfielder) junior Corinne Whitley (defender) and junior Jenel Wyatt (forward).

Goshen also has several promising newcomers including freshman Emily Hill (defender), sophomore Kyleigh Mose (defender), senior Synthia Shinkle (defender) and senior Jessica Hrusovsky.

Morris, Atwood and Budde are captains for the Warriors.

Milford’s Tori Calderhead clears the ball with her head while playing as a defender during the 2008 season.

“The team is hoping to make a push into the postseason tournament this year,” Williams said via email while also making mention of Goshen’s goal to win an SBC American Division title.

McNicholas

The McNick girls’ soccer team returns some strong talent from an 11-8-1 2008 team and seems to be poised for another GGCL title in 2009 for first-year head coach Karen Wood.

McNick returns senior goalkeeper Carrie Martin, who was the Grey Central Division’s player of the year in 2008. Seniors Evann Farrell and Morgan Rice are both first-team All-GGCL players along with junior Tricia Walsh. Senior Sabrina Smyth is a second-team AllGGCL player who should be another key contributor for McNick.

“The kids are all hard workers,” Wood said. “Our back line and goalkeeper should be very strong.”

With the start of a new school year and observing the Goshen school district’s buses traveling the highways once again, I began to think about how fortunate the residents of Goshen Township are to have such an excellent school system. Its academics, facilities and staff are commendable.

Did you know that Goshen was a forerunner in the area by establishing an all-day kindergarten four years ago? This has benefited so many children.

Also, a two-year study and review completed last year resulted in a Learning Academy which opened this summer with academic curriculum offered that was aligned with content standards for

the state of Ohio. The program’s director helped teachers individualize the program by analyzing students’ academic needs using test data, school records and individual child’s interest surveys.

The program is for students 5 to 14 years of age. The 50 students attending, their parents and district officials were pleased with the program’s offerings and results. These two programs serve as innovative examples implemented by Goshen on its success path.

This fall, a before- and afterschool program was made available for students from 6 a.m. to school opening time and again from school dismissal until 6 p.m.

CH@TROOM Last week’s question

Do you think legalizing casino gambling will hurt charitable events and fundraisers such as Monte Carlo nights and church festivals?

“Yes, I think legalizing casino gambling would probably hurt other charitable fundraisers, as people divert their money and time to casinos. If Issue 3 passes, the amendment would likely render illegal the casino-style gambling currently allowed at nonprofit festivals under Ohio’s charitable gaming law, according to Citizens for Community Values. Of more concern is the cost to families and communities. Besides gambling addictions in families, nearby communities suffer increased crime and lowered property values. For every $1 raised by gambling, another $3 in social services is required to help those negatively affected. Legalizing casino gambling is not worth the negative effects on people and communities.”

S.D. “Nobody knows if casinos will hurt charitable events because nobody knows who to believe.

Casino opponents say because the proposed constitutional amendment expressly allows bingo, lottery games and horse-race betting, any other form of gambling in Ohio would automatically be banned if Ohio voters approve Issue 3. On the other side you have former Cincinnati Mayor Charlie Luken (the new poster boy for allowing casinos) saying that casinos in Ohio will not restrict charitable gambling, including church festivals. So how do we answer this question without knowing what is true and what is false?

“Let’s say that church festivals and Las Vegas nights can still have gambling if Issue 3 passes. If that’s the case, then no, they will not suffer at all. These events only occur a few times a year, and only a handful of people go to church festivals with the sole purpose of gambling. Those people will continue to stay local and play at the festivals.

“But if Issue 3 does in fact make charitable gambling illegal, then yes, churches and other fundraising groups will suffer big time. An analysis by The Enquirer last month found that summer Roman Catholic parish festivals generate $12 million in revenue in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. That number will greatly reduce if they are unable to

“I for one hope Issue 3 passes and churches can keep their gambling. But if they can’t I’m OK with that too. I only gamble a few times a year. But I would like the option of going whenever I want and not having to wait for summer festivals. And I would like to do this without having to spend my money in Indiana. The Catholic church is the richest most powerful business in the world.

They will find a way to survive.”

T.Z. “Most people attend church bingo, Monte Carlo nights and church festivals for social reasons.

These events are local and gambling is secondary. People who want to gamble in casinos want to gamble, not socialize and they are willing to travel a distance to do it.

I believe the effect will be small.”

F.D. “It is interesting to reflect on the metamorphosis of gambling in the U.S. during my lifetime. When I was a kid, lottery tickets were an evil no-no (though illegal numbers games thrived in urban areas). The only place a person could gamble outside his home was at church festivals, church bingo games, and the two Nevada cities – and race tracks. Oh, and there were those inexplicable anomalies like Beverly Hills, in northern Kentucky, where somehow casino gambling, though illegal, could go on.

As in so many other areas of life, once the genie is out of the bottle, there is no going back.

Casino gambling is probably going to continue to grow, unless the economy gets so bad that the people who patronize casinos can no longer afford it. I have a non-scientific hunch that the people who gamble at booths at festivals are of a different breed than those who go to the casinos, however. I suspect that those festivals will continue to thrive, even if casino gambling spreads to more places.”

B.B.

The program’s curriculum was aligned with state content standards for each age level. This individualized program was based on a student’s needs and interests.

Yes, the above areas indicate new programming, and it is endeavors of this nature that help students gain the foundation necessary to obtain state and national recognition.

Do you recall seeing our thirdgraders on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” proudly displaying the inventions they created for the Invention Convention held in Spaulding Elementary? This happened not just one year, but five consecutive years. What a record.

Ohio School Boards Association has showcased our middle school and high school for innovative program offerings in each of the two buildings.

This, too, occurred in multiple years.

In addition to the programs mentioned, many others could be cited that are fueling the fire of success. The state of Ohio’s Report Card validates the academic gains made in the district.

The Performance Index Score Goshen obtained this past school year was 99.9, the highest score Goshen has earned since the inception of the index.

One must note that the hard work of students, parents and

dedicated staff has caused this Carol Tartar score to improve Community each year.

Remember, all of these accomplishments were made while the district maintained a balanced budget.

Carol Tarter lives on Cemetery Lane in Goshen Township. She wrote it on behalf of a group of citizens concerned about the future of Goshen Township.

Voters should demand more I just finished reading an Enquirer report dated Aug. 16, titled “Most local lawmakers skip town halls.” Strangely, the piece was reporting on potential news some of our local lawmakers avoided making last week. It seems as though facing the public right now is just too risky for some noted Republicans.

As of the date I submitted this op-ed neither of our Republican congressional representatives, Sen. George Voinovich or Rep. Jean Schmidt, has scheduled any public meetings to discuss legislative matters with their constituents. Schmidt has scheduled a private meeting for Aug. 28 with the chamber of commerce. I wonder are they avoiding an open discussion on health care reform?

Really, I can’t understand how is it that Democrats Sherrod Brown and Steve Driehaus have time to conduct public meetings but these Republican lightweights can’t schedule some dates.

Driehaus has even agreed to meet with Republican political clubs.

This reluctance to meet with con-

stituents is particularly odd on the part of U.S. Rep. Schmidt.

Consider the fact that she won her last election with just 45 percent of the vote.

Rich Jordan Maybe she doesCommunity n’t want to face Press guest the 55 percent voted for columnist that someone else or perhaps John Boehner has already decided how she is going to vote?

According to a Schmidt spokesman: “At this point, a town hall is not going to produce anything since there is not really anything to put out there and say.”

Excuse me Jean, we live in a state where two insurance firm’s collusion now controls 58 percent of the commercial insurance market.

Under this near monopoly, insurance premiums have grown by an average of 76 percent since 2000, four times faster than

wages. Small- and medium-sized businesses are being squeezed because of rising premiums. They are being forced to pass on more of the premium costs to employees, or resorting more to non-covered, part-time help, or just dropping their healthcare plan entirely.

Low-wage workers, those employed by small businesses suffer the most.

One report determined that 78 percent of low-wage workers don’t receive health benefits on the job. More and more hardworking people are being forced into high-premium, high-deductible private plans.

Currently, one out of seven Americans under age 65 are uninsured. We are being confronted with a Katrina-like crisis in health care and Jean Schmidt can’t muster up the energy to hold a public meeting on the topic. Second district voters, we should demand more of Rep. Schmidt.

Does marijuana harm society?

Many know Clermont County law enforcement, particularly the Clermont County Narcotics Task Force, regularly arrest individuals in possession of or trafficking in marijuana. Law enforcement follows the laws set forth by lawmakers.

Yet nationwide some continue to endorse the legalization of marijuana and many blogs are full of comments chastising law enforcement for wasting public funds.

This caused me to delve into public policy questions and some possible reasons the government criminalizes the possession, sale and use of marijuana.

Marijuana is an illegal Schedule I drug and has a high potential for abuse. Marijuana contains THC (tetrahydrocannabinol); a chemical that creates short-term issues with memory and learning, distorted perception, loss of coordination, reduction in cognition, problem solving, and an increase in heart rate and anxiety lasting up to 24 hours.

Medical research estimates marijuana smoke contains 50 to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons (components harmful to health) than tobacco smoke.

In one study, first-time users increased by 6,000 per day in the United States during 2007. A

2006 study compiled by Drug Abuse Warning Network, an estimated 113 million emergency room visits were drug related, of that 290,563 involved Chief Rick W. marijuana.

In Combs 1997 the percentage of admissions Community where marijuana Press guest was the primary columnist drug was 12.3 percent. By 2007 that percentage increased to 15.8 percent or 287,933 admissions.

Many would argue the criminal justice cost justifies a “turn-yourhead approach.” A 2004 Bureau of Justice Statistics survey reported 12.7 percent of state prisoners and 12.4 percent of federal prisoners were serving time for marijuanarelated offenses. Most in law enforcement know a very small percentage (less than 3 percent), go to jail for using the drug as compared to those selling it.

This would lead me to my most compelling point: I estimate more than 60 percent of marijuana arrests made in Clermont County are generated by citizen complaints. These problems have come about while the use of mar-

ijuana is illegal. How much would that increase if it is legalized?

Some advocate it should be regulated by the federal government and heavily taxed. The theory being this would be extra revenue. However, the majority of marijuana is illegally shipped from Mexico.

Nothing indicates the smuggling of marijuana would cease if legalized, thus tax collection. Who will collect and regulate taxes, monitor the new laws? The only options are to rely on existing federal agencies or local police, or creating another agency.

While there may be compelling reasons to decriminalize marijuana, are we prepared to deal with the unintended consequences?

Alcohol is legal yet no one can deny the problems and costs that exist from its use. Because marijuana is illegal, and therefore socially unacceptable, it is my assumption its legalization would increase its use and in time be as acceptable as alcohol and tobacco.

Regardless of your view in the debate, it currently remains an illegal substance in this state and law enforcement will continue to investigate and charge those involved.

Dingo designs unique images

By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

John Dingo said Dingo Photography & Imaging is for “clients who want something different.”

He does not simply take photographs. He designs images unique to each client.

“We’re more of a custom designer,” he said. “We’ll spend a significant amount of time with a client to get to know the client on a personal level.”

For a teenage boy with an interest in airsoft and paintball guns, Dingo came up with a portrait that highlighted the boy’s interest.

The business has been in operation for 12 years, five years at the present location on Main Street in Batavia.

There is plenty of room in the 5,300 square foot studio. Dingo has numerous backgrounds and a projection screen where the client can create his own background.

As the portraits are being created, the client can view and edit the finished product on a monitor in the studio.

More info Address: 225 E. Main St., Batavia Telephone: 732-9208 Web site: www.dingophotography.com Hours: 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday.

Owner: John Dingo Employees: 4 Dingo has his own lab, where most of the work is done in-house.

A lot of the studio’s work comes from portraits for high school seniors. Dingo calls his business a “higher end senior portrait studio.”

But for those on tight budgets, Dingo offers smaller packages and the initial consultation is free.

In addition to portraits for high school seniors, Dingo does a lot of designer portraits for families and children.

He said he meets with families to learn the personalities of the children and family members to design something special.

His goal is to produce “something unique to hang on the wall.”

When Chris Freeman was 12 years old he spotted an army helmet in a barn on a farm near his home in Froxfield, England.

The helmet was sitting under a tractor and being used to catch oil drippings.

Freeman asked the farmer for the helmet, and was told he could have it, but not right then, because it was being used.

He went back to the farm several years later and found the helmet sitting on a shelf.

“It was a bit of a mess,” Freeman said, but he cleaned it up and used it to play with while growing up in the 1970s.

He held on to the helmet, and several years ago began to look into its history. The chinstrap of the helmet had a name and serial number which were still legible.

He posted photographs of the helmet and chinstrap on a Web site featuring military artifacts. Within several weeks, someone was able to identify the original owner of the helmet.

The helmet belonged to Pfc. Harold D. Webb of Amelia, a member of U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division.

Webb was killed in Foy, Belgium, during the Battle of the Bulge in January 1945 at the age of 19. He was mentioned in Stephen Ambrose’s best-selling book “Band of Brothers” about the exploits of the 101st in World War II. Freeman realized he had something special. He had started collecting military artifacts, and the helmet became the “crown jewel” of his collection.

But the story didn’t end

JOHN SENEY/STAFF

Mary Wilson holds the helmet of her brother, Harold Webb, who was killed in World War II. The helmet was found by Chris Freeman of England, right, who brought it to the United States to show to Wilson. Wilson gave Freeman a photograph of her brother and a painting of the house in Amelia they grew up in. there.

Gary Knepp, a Clermont County historian, found out about the helmet and its connection to an Amelia soldier.

He said it took about six to eight months to track down some of Webb’s relatives. Webb had three sisters who were still alive, and one, Mary Wilson, was living in Cherry Grove.

Knepp communicated with Freeman, who had inlaws living in Illinois and was planning a trip to the United States. He convinced Freeman to bring the helmet with him to the states and make a side trip to Clermont County.

On Aug. 7, Freeman met with Wilson in Batavia and showed her the helmet.

“It’s unbelievable,” Wilson said as she held her brother’s helmet in her hands.

“It brings Harold back.”

Wilson was 20 when her 18-year-old brother went away to war. They grew up in a home on Chapel Road in Amelia.

She presented Freeman with a painting of their home, which no longer exists, and a photograph of her brother while he was home on leave.

Freeman presented Wilson with a handful of earth collected at memorial in Belgium near where Webb was killed. The earth will be placed on Webb’s grave at Mt. Moriah Cemetery in Withamsville.

Freeman plans to keep

the helmet in his collection for now. Eventually, he hopes to donate it to a museum.

“I’m just the keeper of it,” he said.

One part of the mystery was never solved: How the helmet got to a farm in a small village 65 miles west of London.

Freeman speculates that someone brought it back to England as a souvenir after the war. There is no way to know if Webb even was wearing that helmet when he was killed. It might have been an old helmet or a spare helmet, he said.

But for him and Mary Wilson, it is a very special helmet.

Records Express is helping with electronic documents

By John Seney

jseney@communitypress.com

Included in the massive federal stimulus package passed in February was a provision intended to increase the use of electronic medical records by physicians and hospitals.

Under the bill, medical providers would have monetary incentives to convert to electronic records. And the sooner they convert, the more money they get – up to $18,000 in the first year.

Record Express LLC in Batavia Township is a document scanning service that is ready to help medical providers go paperless.

Philip Albenze, a document scanning specialist, said the company has been in operation since 2003, two years at its present location.

He said by converting medical records to electronic format, “your records can

The firm already has provided the service to a number of physicians with mini-

mal disruption to their practices, Albenze said.

Now the firm is gearing up for an increase in business because of the new law.

The security of the

records is similar to the security of bank records, and complies with federal medical privacy laws, Albenze said.

He said that in addition to working for medical providers, the company does scanning and record retrieval for law firms, insurance companies and other businesses.

Owner Nadine AlbenzeSmith said individuals can use the firm’s services to do such things as converting old record albums into digital format and scanning the contents of old filing cabinets for electronic storage.

How do we deal with the unfairness of life?

Sooner or later we know that life is not fair. It never was. It never will be. Though that fact infuriates us at times, we are powerless to change it.

Rather, it presents us with the challenge of what to do with such a life or with the cynical attitude it often engenders.

Even though we may be religious-minded people, God does not step in to make our lives fair.

Earth is not heaven. Earth is not where all unfairness is righted.

As analyst Robert A. Johnson puts it, “The world is not supposed to work. All it does effectively is produce consciousness.�

It is to wake us up before we die. It is to create situations that can potentially form us by how we choose and how our egos deal with the inequities that surround us.

Spiritually we are called upon to discover that life is a mystery and a paradox. We’re forged by it, formed by it, made whole by it.

Unfairness is such a part of the fabric of life that the most noble spiritual leaders who have lived among us have all been treated unfairly.

In fact, it contributed to their nobility. Are we to expect to be treated better than they? Do they not try to teach us how to transcend unfairness?

One of the important questions we must ask ourselves at times – and which serves as an indicator of whether we’re becoming cynical through our experience of unfairness, or more whole – is, “How do I behave in the face of things I cannot change? In the face of things that are obviously unfair?�

One of the best real-life examples in someone else’s life was the example George Will wrote of years ago in Newsweek.

It was about his son Jon, the oldest of four children. Jon had just turned 21 years old and his father characterized him as a happy and active young man.

Yet a crucial fact was that Jon has Down syndrome.

George wrote, â€œâ€Ś this is a chromosomal defect involving degrees of mental retardation and physical abnormalities.â€?

Then we wrote of his son’s condition words we might all remember, “Jon lost, at the instant he was conceived, one of life’s lotteries, but he was also lucky. “His physical abnormalities do not impede his vitality and his retardation is not so severe that it inter-

feres with life’s essential joys – receiving love, returning it, and reading baseball box scores. Jon has seen a brother two years younger surpass him in size, get a driver’s license, and leave for college, and although Jon would be forgiven for shaking his fist at the universe, he has been equable. I believe his serenity is grounded in his sense that he is a complete Jon and that is that.�

George Will and his family evidently love son Jon very much.

He approaches head-on the unfairness of life wrought in their own family, and for Jon, accepting the fact that, through no fault of his own, “Jon lost one of life’s lotteries.�

It’s most probable that you and I have already lost some of life’s various lotteries, and may lose some more. Does that need to be

an utter catastrophe? In fact, it is not winning all Father Lou the lotteries that Guntzelman most tests our mettle.

Perspectives There’s a short prayer we might offer for ourselves when life’s unfairness gets in our face: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.�

Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Be on the lookout for moisture conditions in your house When you own a home, it’s always a good idea to get regular termite inspections to prevent possible infestation.

But a Tristate couple who got termite treatment 10 years ago, and regular inspections since then, says they were shocked to find termites had returned with a vengeance.

Debbie Harpring and her husband, Todd, had bought a termite inspection and protection plan and recently started remodeling their bedroom. “The contractor said, ‘What is that dip in your floor?’ We had to take everything out of the room.

Todd said, ‘I don’t know, never noticed it – that’s where the bed has always

b e e n . ’ They said w e l l , we’ve got termites,�

Debbie said.

The termites were Howard Ain in the Hey Howard! same spot back in 1999. At the time of that last treatment the Harprings had bought inspection and damage repair plans, so they called the termite treatment company. “The inspector came out and informed us right away it was not their problem, it was our problem because there’s too much moisture,�

Debbie said.

The moisture is in the

crawlspace underneath their house and it’s that moisture that attracts termites.

Yet, the contract with the treatment company specifically excludes coverage if there’s moisture. “I didn’t know if we had moisture before or after. I had no idea because nobody ever said anything to us about moisture being in the crawlspace,� Debbie said.

The termite treatment company had conducted inspections three times a year – but they were only checking a termite baiting system located in areas around the house.

No one ever checked under the home, in the crawlspace where the termites had been found in the past. There is an access

Moisture can attract termites as well as lead to a number of other problems including mold. panel to the crawlspace right out back so no one has to be home for the inspectors to check.

Debbie Harpring said she was quite surprised to learn termites are back and that they had done considerable damage to her home.

This occurred even though she was supposed to get regular inspections. “I think that’s what the whole contract is about, they’re supposed to inspect my home to make sure there were no termites – and that

was never done,� she said.

So I contacted the termite extermination company, which sent out an independent inspector. He found inactive termite mud tubes and signs of other destructive insects still in the crawlspace.

He concluded moisture, as well as termites, caused more than $9,300 damage to the house.

The termite treatment company told me it values its long relationship with the Harpring family and so has

Reader spills the beans with Napa recipe jellies.

Labor Day’s almost here and I’ve got some good recipes for your celebration.

Napa Valley baked beans

Indian Hill reader Clare Ackerman shared this recipe recently. “Always a hit,” she said.

Stir together: 1 can each: kidney, pinto, baked beans, French cut green string beans (drained) 1 jar chili sauce 1 ⁄2 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon or so Worcestershire sauce Bake at 325 degrees for about two hours or so, uncovered. Cover when beans start to thicken, stir occasionally.

My attempt at Uno’s salad dressing

Clermont County reader Monica Friedl loves the

blueberry pomegranate vinaigrette dressing from Uno’s in Anderson Township.

Rick Arbic, kitchen manager/chef told me the salad is an iceberg and romaine mix and they add cucumber, tomato and onion, a couple ounces of Gorgonzola and some candied walnuts which they purchase from a vendor.

Uno’s dressing is from its food service. Rick told me it has blueberry purée, vinegar, sugar, oil, etc.

It’s hard to re-create restaurant dishes – that’s why I always tell you to enjoy them there.

1 cup pomegranate blueberry juice (Kroger has it) 1 tablespoon red onion or more to taste White wine or rice vinegar – start with a tablespoon 1 ⁄2 teaspoon garlic minced Salt and pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil or soybean oil (Uno’s contains soybean) or more to taste Reduce juice to 1⁄4 cup.

More Bang For Your Buck!

Any nut works here.

Uno’s uses walnuts 1 egg white from large egg 1 tablespoon water 1 bag nuts (anywhere from 10-16 ounces) 1 cup sugar 1 ⁄2 teaspoon salt Cinnamon if you like – start with a couple good shakes.

Preheat oven to 250 degrees and spray cookie sheet. Mix sugar, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.

Whisk egg white and water until frothy. Add nuts and coat evenly then toss in sugar mixture until coated.

Pour in single layer on sheet and bake 45 minutes to an hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

Cool and store covered at room temperature.

Kenneth Norris and Dale Robertson of Norris Jewelers in Milford recently attended the semi-annual conference of the Independent Jewelers Organization (IJO).

It has been IJO’s practice to raise funds to benefit a worthwhile cause in the city they visit. After some research, it seemed a natural choice to name The Jeff Gordon Foundation as the recipient of the fundraising proceeds. The foundation has raised more than $7 million for children’s charities.

A treasure chest was set up for members to deposit scrap gold.

“Our little bits and pieces of scrap gold added up to just about $44,000 for the foundation. It was a great idea and we’re really proud, and privileged, to have been part of it,” Norris said.

IJO is the world’s largest buying group for retail jewelers, and Norris Jewelers is the Milford area’s exclusive member.

Norris Jewelers is at 1083B Ohio 28 in Mulberry Square.

JoAnne Lanham and William Fritts has joined the Milford office of Coldwell Banker West Shell, 5976 Meijer Drive.

I was in a meeting the other day when a colleague told me how nice I looked in my magenta and black suit and trendy peep-toe heels.

I had to laugh because had he seen me a few hours earlier in tank top and shorts digging potatoes he might Rita have had Heikenfeld a different opinion.

Rita’s kitchen But I think I’m a lot like most of you: one look for the professional side and one for the personal side. It’s the personal side that helps keep me balanced in my high-tech world.

I guess that’s why today was a perfect day: up early, feed the chickens, pull weeds from the garden, hang clothes on the line with enough time left to can peaches and make wild elderberry and rose petal

It’s canning time for vegetables crappie, so mark your fishing papers about the size limit next year.

The stripers and channel catfish are on a feeding frenzy so get out and catch some of these fish to stock your freezer for winter.

When there is snow on the ground and it is very cold outside fry up a batch of fish and enjoy the fruits of your labor or invite friends over for a fish meal.

Mike was telling me he has weighed in two stripers that weighed 13 pounds each and there were two shovel head catfish that were caught off the campers beach. One weighed 70 pounds and one weighed 74 pounds. Wow. We are in the canning and freezing operation. We got a box of peaches from A.M. Orchard last week and boy are they beautiful. Ruth Ann canned nine pints and froze six quarts.

The tomatoes are really

getting ripe so the canning of them is in progress. The green beans are ready to start picking.

This is the third planting.

The first one the deer got, the second one the rain got.

So I planted them in the raised beds with a high fence around them.

The deer population here

by East Fork is extremely big with deer with twins and triplets. That takes a lot of food for them.

We have been hearing the coyotes barking at night so their pups are getting big and that takes extra food for them. The ground hogs provide some of their meats.

Start your week by going to the church of your choice and praise the Good Lord, give Him thanks for your family. God Bless All. More later.

George Rooks is a retired park ranger. Rooks served for 28 years with the last five as manager of East Fork State Park.

Good news for seniors: You’re not old up their independence and eventually require institutional care. Statistics simply do not support this. In reality only about 5 percent of people over 65 live in a home at any Linda nursing one time.

Eppler Another myth is Community elderly people are desPress tined for dementia or Guest Alzheimer’s.

Samuel Johnson, Columnist 18th century English writer had this to say, “There is a wicked indication in most people to suppose an old man decayed in his intellect. If a young man does not recollect where he laid his hat, it is nothing; but if the same inattention is discovered in an old man, people will shrug their shoulders and say, ‘His memory is going.’ “ In the 21st century, things haven’t changed much.

Truth: About 1.25 percent of Americans suffer from dementia. Admittedly, the rate goes up with age, but most people will not suffer from it.

So you may be asking yourself, why is a person who works for a senior service organization spouting off a lot of info about healthy seniors?

Because it’s true.

A lot of seniors do not need Mealson-Wheels or home care. But many that do, need it desperately. These services are critical to their well-being.

Even though the economy is touching Clermont Senior Services just as it effecting everyone, we are still here for those who need our help.

Despite the high percentage of healthy seniors, we still serve thousands of older adults who need our help in Clermont County.

If you or someone you know needs assistance, please call us at 724-1255.

Linda Eppler is director of communications for Clermont Senior Services.

So how old is old? I don’t know for sure. But I do know that it’s older than me – and it always will be.

I read a demographic report on older adults a while back which stated the age of 73 is when people consider themselves middle aged. Sound ridiculous? Not so fast. Some biomedical scientists are actually defining middle age as between 50 and 70.

In 1910, the average life expectancy in the U.S. was 52. Now it’s over 78 years, according to the CIA. (I thought they only looked for spies.)

Not only are people living longer, they’re a lot healthier. Some estimates indicate that Americans age 65 and older average less than 15 days a year in bed because of illness. That’s less than a lot of teenagers.

The indications are that healthy senior citizens truly are healthy.

There are many myths about aging. For instance, many people assume seniors will be forced to give

was so excited when a meeting was held.

George They always some Rooks have snacks and Ole drinks after Fisherman each meeting. I any children would like to join, give Ruth Ann a call.

I was talking to Mike at the Boars Head Bait Shop at Afton and he said the fishing is extra good this year.

His thoughts are that due to the extra rain, it has helped clean the water in the lake.

The last crappie tournament was good. There were at least 20 crappie that weighed 11⁄2 pounds each.

That is excellent. Wildlife will put a 9-inch limit on crappie next year. This size limit will help get bigger

Howdy folks, Last week on Saturday the Grange had the judging for the adults and juniors crafts they made. The age categories for the juniors are 5 to 8 years, 9 to 11 years and 12 to 14 years.

The crafts they made were outstanding. They had: Decorating a food can for a holiday, making something out of wash cloths, a personal sewing kit, decorating a clothespin and decorating a tile hot plate.

You folks should see them, these children have a remarkable imagination, each decorated their item differently. There were 100 items these children made.

It was something to see.

Bonnie and Ruth Ann are the leaders and have done a super job. Both of these gals are so dedicated to the Junior Grange. Some of the mothers came and helped the juniors making their projects. Each junior

The members of the Harmony Hill Association along with several dozens residents of Williamsburg and Clermont County visited his old homestead Sunday, Aug. 23, for a birthday party in his honor. The Williamsburg Community Band provided the music while cake and ice cream were served.

People were encouraged to take a look inside the milk house, the oldest historical structure in the county. They also could go inside the museum that features many Williamsburg and Clermont County historical items.

In 1796, Lytle founded Williamsburg and chose 500 acres of prime property for his home. He named his homestead site “Harmony Hill,” and there, in 1800, John Charles built Lytle’s home, dairy house and land office. From the porch of his home he

could look over the East Fork Valley and see travelers on the Dela Palma Road -the main route to the Ohio State Capitol in Chillicothe, according to association literature.

Lytle was a surveyor, and he sold thousands of acres of land from this historic site.

He also served as our county’s first postmaster and clerk of courts.

If you are interested in learning more about the history of our town, the activities of Harmony Hill Association, or if you have any items you would care to donate or loan to the museum, call 724-7824.

The museum is open (free of charge) to visitors from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. the first Saturday of each month.

Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills!

Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era.

Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors.

The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has

its own food service for guests, so they can spend their entire visit immersed in solitude if they wish, surrounded by tall trees, huge rocks, the castle‘s own hiking trails and plenty of peace and quiet. Or guests can drive the few miles to outside attractions & other dramatic scenery in the Hocking Hills. Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events. Facilities are also perfect for small weddings and other festive occasions. The building has no steps into the 1st floor level - a “drawbridge” leads from the driveway to the massive front door and the first floor guest rms. Nearby are caves, waterfalls, lots of hiking trails, a scenic railway, arts & crafts studios & shop, antique malls and much more. There are often midweek discounts and a special “Royal Family” Adventure Package in the summer.
