Miami Twp. gets sidewalks

By Mary Dannemiller

mdannemiller@communitypress.com

After years of planning, construction will finally begin on a sidewalk on Buckwheat Road from Deblin Drive to Community Park and from Linden Creek Drive to Mulberry Elementary School Monday, June 7.

The project was made possible by a Transportation Enhancement Grant from the Ohio Department of Transportation, said Assistant Township Administrator Jeff Wright.

“This money is available for projects that encourage alternative

means of travel within a community,” he said.

Wright said ODOT entered into a contract with R.A. Miller Construction Co. for about $133,000 and the township paid about $26,000 as its match.

Township Administrator Larry Fronk said Mulberry Elementary students will be able to use the sidewalks when they return to school in September.

“It’s about a 45-day project, weather permitting,” he said. “It will be done in plenty of time before school starts next year.”

Fronk has been working with residents, the Ohio Department of Transportation, the Clermont

County Engineer’s Office and several other officials for four years to bring sidewalks to the township.

“It’s very rewarding,” he said.

“I’m very pleased that we can finally get the sidewalk constructed. Many residents in that area have been asking when we’re going to build them so it’s rewarding that we’re now reaching the end and the sidewalks will be built.”

Traffic along Buckwheat should not be affected by the construction crew, who will be staging at Community Park.

“I’ve been told they can do most of the work off the side of the road so two lanes of traffic

should be open at all times,” Fronk said.

Miami Township Trustee Karl Schultz said the sidewalks will make it safer for students to get to and from school.

“Walking is good, but walking is great if it’s safe,” he said. “The safety aspect of it is paramount.”

The Buckwheat construction is just one part of the township’s plan for sidewalks.

A project for sidewalks on Ohio 28 was recently awarded a Transportation Enhancement Grant and will be bid after the money becomes available Thursday, July 1.

Hundreds to volunteer during ShareFest

By Kellie Geist kgeist@communitypress.com

Hundreds of volunteers from nine churches will be spending a few days next week working on projects ranging from painting the skate park in Miami Township to cleaning the chapel at Sem Villa in Milford.

ShareFest, a three-day volunteer extravaganza, will be Thursday, June 10, Friday, June 11, and Saturday, June 12.

Jim Eckels, project coordinator for ShareFest, said this will be the fourth year for the event. When ShareFest started in Milford and Miami Township, members from five churches were involved.

“It has really grown,” Eckels said. “ShareFest gives churches an opportunity to reach out to the community, no strings attached.

We’re just able to go out, help our neighbors and be the hands and feet of God.” A number of organizations and groups nominate projects for the ShareFest volunteers to do during the event. All projects are done at no cost. This year, other projects include mulching at all the Milford schools, and landscaping and restaining the gazebo at the Promont House Museum. Even before ShareFest starts, they clean up after the Frontier Days Parade.

Volunteers also will be helping individual residents, mostly seniors, with odd jobs such as painting and landscaping. Many of these seniors were nominated by Clermont Senior Services, Eckels said.

“Those type of projects don’t take long to do, but they give us an opportunity to interact and spend time with these seniors. We want to let them know somebody cares,” he said.

To close ShareFest, the volunteers will hold the annual ShareFest Village from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 12, at Milford

New this year, ShareFest will hold a Celebration Service at 7 p.m. Sunday, June 13. There will be photos, videos and testimony.

Junior High School, 5735 Pleasant Hill Road. During the village, there will be a blood drive, free car wash, free blood pressure and vision checks, free haircuts and a yard sale where everything is free. The sale starts at 11 a.m. and ends at 2 p.m.

Also, new this year, ShareFest will hold a Celebration Service at 7 p.m. Sunday, June 13, at Faith Church, 5910 Price Road. During the celebration there will be photos, videos and testimony from ShareFest volunteers and people who have been helped. ShareFest Leadership Committee member Rebecca Buckalew said they would really like those helped to attend, if possible.

Buckalew said she enjoys participating in ShareFest because of how it builds community.

“We try to mix the teams so it’s not just all people from one church on a team. It’s fun to see the churches intermingle and work together while helping serve people,” she said.

While ShareFest is currently dedicated to Milford and Miami Township, Buckalew said she would like to see this event be county-wide. As a start, one team this year will be working at Amelia High School.

“Our ultimate goal would be that this would spread throughout the county and more churches would join us,” she said. “Every year we get a few more people who are interested and it just continues to grow.”

Milford High School to drug test more students

By Mary Dannemiller

The policy

mdannemiller@communitypress.com

The number of studentathletes randomly drug tested at Milford High School will increase next year, but the cost of the tests will decrease.

Right now, about 20 students are tested per athletic season, which is about three months long. Beginning in September, five students will be randomly selected for testing each week throughout the school year, said Milford Superintendent Bob Farrell.

“It’s proactive in the sense that you’re hoping the kids don’t engage in those activities because of the possibility of being caught,” he said.

“Another reason to do it more frequently than in the past is now somebody who might have already been tested could be called up again. Theoretically, you could be called up every week because of the random pool.”

The current tests cost $40 per student, but the new tests will cost $5 per student, said Milford High School Assistant Principal Tom Wilson.

The cost savings occurs because with the current system, all of the tests are sent to a laboratory for complete analysis, but with the new system only tests which indicate they might test positive will be sent to the laboratory,

The Milford High School Athletic Handbook has a very specific drug policy. Here is what appears in the handbook about what happens when athletes test positive for drugs, or are arrested.

First offense: • If the violation occurs during the season, the student involved shall be denied participation from the athletic program with reinstatement contingent upon the procedures listed in Paragraph P. The minimum penalty upon reinstatement shall be denial of participation from all contests for the remainder of the season.

• If the violation occurs at a time other than during the season, the student involved shall be denied participation from the athletic program with reinstatement contingent upon the procedures listed in Paragraph P. The minimum penalty upon reinstatement shall be denial of participation in 20 percent of the regular season contests in the next sport they successfully participate in and complete.

program with reinstatement contingent upon procedures listed.

The minimum penalty upon reinstatement shall be denial of participation from athletics for one calendar year from the date of the infraction.

Second offense and subsequent offenses: • For additional violations occurring at any time, the student involved shall be denied participation from the athletic

Reinstatement (Paragraph P): Upon denial of participation from the athletic program for violations outlined in section O, athletic activities may only be resumed according to the following guidelines/procedures: • A request for reinstatement shall be made to the athletic director, in writing, from the athlete and his/her parents/guardians. It shall outline specific remedies and plans of action being taken to prevent reoccurrence of the violation(s).

• A written assessment shall be obtained by the athlete’s family from a trained certified chemical dependency counselor, or a licensed physician trained in the treatment of chemical dependency, regarding the violation(s) and indicating whether it is appropriate for the student to return to the athletic program in their professional opinion. A copy of this assessment, including any recommendations for rehabilitation and return to athletic participation, shall accompany the

Farrell said.

“In this case, there’s an indicator on the specimen bottles which show a certain

range so the school nurse can look at it and say ‘This sample maybe need to be tested further,’” he said.

request for reinstatement from first offense.

• A review of the incident shall occur by a reinstatement committee comprised of the head coach of the sport, the athletic director and the principal (other personnel may be included if applicable). The reinstatement committee shall consider the circumstances of the violation(s), the items submitted from first and second offenses and the overall appropriateness of the student’s return to the athletic program. The review process must include a meeting with the athlete and his/her parents/guardians.

Following the review, a decision shall be made relative to the athlete’s reinstatement.

Reinstatement is not automatic.

The reinstatement committee shall have latitude in its decision from immediate return to continued denial of participation, with or without conditions of probationary status, and following any minimum requirements. The decision of the reinstatement committee shall be final.

• This process is subject only to procedural review by the superintendent on adherence by the reinstatement committee to the policy.

“We went to a reduced cost because the Drug Free Schools Grant no longer exists so the money the

Clermont College

school was using to fund it wasn’t there,” Farrell said. “(The cost) will still come out of the building fund, but it will be a much smaller amount.”

The new tests also will have a much faster turn around, with final results available just days after the test instead of the weeks it took to get the old results, Farrell said.

“We’ll have a quicker result back for the students so they won’t have to be on pins and needles wondering what the results are,” he said.

In the four years Milford has tested student-athletes and students participating in extra-curricular activities, only two or three students tested positive, Wilson said.

“We’re going into our fifth year next year and we’ve tested about 300 students so to have two or three test positive is a very small percentage,” he said.

Wilson said he expects students to have a mixed reaction to the increased frequency of tests.

“Anytime you have a new program there’s positive and negative reaction,” he said. “Drug testing has become pretty commonplace, but the increase might be a shock to everyone. Some kids might get tested twice and that’s the way it is with

the randomness.”

Milford Athletic Director Mark Trout said student-athletes who test positive could face consequences ranging from missing an entire season to missing 20 percent of the next season’s contests.

“We take substance abuse violations very seriously, not just through random drug testing but through whatever methods we find out about it, whether they get arrested or we find out another way,” he said. “Our policy is very specific and it’s not based on rumor. Someone’s participation in those activities has to be verified.”

Students and their parents will be informed of the new policy at the kick-off meetings for the school’s various sports, Trout said. All student-athletes and students in extracurricular activities and their parents must sign a release form allowing random drug testing to be able to participate, Trout said. They also must sign a form stating the students will abide by the athletic department’s rules and substance abuse policy.

“I think it’s a good idea,” he said. “The whole point is we don’t want our kids to put themselves or anyone else in danger. It’s illegal and we want them to be performing at their peak when they’re participating in athletics.”

A Milford High School alumnus and successful actor, musician and composer will be performing a benefit concert later this month for The American Cancer Society.

The Father’s Day show, headlined by Ashton Wolf, will be at 8 p.m. Saturday, July 19, at Greaves Concert Hall on the campus of the Northern Kentucky University. Local boogie artist Ricky Nye will open the show.

Wolf’s father, Jack Cullen, and his uncle, Jim Cullen, both died after struggling with cancer. Wolf said he wanted the benefit concert to be near father’s day as a tribute.

“I realized I had an opportunity to produce a concert, play my original music and have a benefit for The American Cancer Society,” Wolf said. “I know a lot of people know someone who has either lost their life or are struggling with cancer. This concert is a tribute to my dad, my uncle and

Your Community Press newspaper serving Miami Township and Milford

them.”

Wolf, who lives in Miami Township, worked with neighbor and longtime friend Wolf Ken Eppich to put the concert together.

“He’s just amazing. He runs the spectrum of music and, hopefully, this concert also will help promote his career,” Eppich said.

Wolf attended the American Academy of Performing Arts in New York after graduating from high school. He later went to Los Angeles where he worked in the entertainment industry doing theater shows and writing shows of his own.

Admission is $20 for adults or $15 for children and students. Tickets can be purchased ahead of time at www.fathersdayconcertbenefit.org or purchased at the door, cash only.

Covered bridge featured by photographer at Summerfair

By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

A large photo of the covered bridge over Stonelick Creek was the highlight of a photographer’s exhibit at Summerfair.

Justin Burwinkel of Stonelick Township said the photo is 90 inches by 40 inches and is comprised of 200 smaller photographs stitched together to create a 360-degree scene of the bridge.

“I hope to preserve the original look of the structure before renovations,” Burwinkel said.

Clermont County Engineer Pat Manger plans to rehabilitate the bridge, with construction beginning in January 2012.

Burwinkel also showed several photos in 3-D. Special glasses were needed, which Burwinkel handed out to visitors.

This was Burwinkel’s second year at Summerfair.

At last year’s show, Burwinkel received an honorable mention in photography, earning him an automatic invitation back.

JOHN SENEY/STAFF

Justin Burwinkel of Stonelick Township unveils his large-format photograph of the Stonelick Covered Bridge at the Batavia Township trustees meeting June 1. The photo is a 360-degree view of the bridge comprised of more than 190 individual photos. The piece was on display at Summerfair Cincinnati and then returns to the Batavia Township Community Center, 1535 Clough Pike, where it will be on display through the end of June.

Burwinkel, 21, became interested in photography when he took some classes at McNicholas High School.

He also attended St. Louis School in Owensville.

He will graduate from the University of Cincinnati in June with a degree in precommunication sciences and disorders. He plans to continue graduate studies in audiology at UC. More than 300 artists from across the nation were chosen to participate in the 43rd annual Summerfair.

Burwinkel is among 46 from

the Cincinnati area.

“We were very pleased to learn that so many of our local artists were selected for this year's fair,” said Sharon Strubbe, executive director of Summerfair. “Cincinnati is nationally celebrated for its large, eclectic art scene, and the large number of local artists selected is a reflection of the incredible talent we have in our area.”

For more information about Summerfair, or to purchase tickets in advance, see www.summerfair.org.

Fire departments collecting non-perishable foods The Miami Township Fire and Emergency Medical Service, the Milford Community Fire Department and the Wayne Township Fire and Rescue are collecting food for local food banks.

Wayne Township Fire Chief David Moulden said each department is asking residents to drop-off nonperishable food items. The

departments are competing to see who can collect the most.

In Wayne Township, donations can be dropped off at either the Newtonsville station, 797 Wright St., or the Edenton station at 6514 Ohio 133. If no one is at the station, just leave the non-perishables in a bag at the door.

In Milford, donations can be left at the fire station at 687 U.S. 50.

In Miami Township, nonperishables can be droppedoff at the central station, 5888 McPicken Drive, the north station, 6492 Branch Hill-Guinea Pike, or the south station at 1154 U.S. 50 in Perintown.

“My first Father’s Day is one I will always remember,” said Keith Robinson of Jackson Township. “Our newborn triplets had just come home from the hospital and it was so great just to hold them.”

This Father’s Day, Robinson will be a very busy dad, alternately hugging and playing with 4-year-olds Dylan, Nathan and Lily … and 6-month-old twins Macy and Riley.

Robinson and his wife Julie juggle parenting duties with busy work schedules.

He is the chief naturalist with the Clermont County Park District and she is a naturalist with the Hamilton County Park District.

“There is really only one day a week when we can all be together, and nights out as a couple are few and far between,” said Robinson. He said the kids’ grandparents and other relatives have been amazing helpers when it comes to managing such a large group of young children.

“We take things day by day,” said Julie. “I’m a pretty good planner, but I try not to overly schedule things.”

Is life with multiples anything like we see on TV programs like “John and Kate Plus Eight?”

“In the beginning of the show it was pretty true to life,” laughed Julie. “I think Kate is overly organized.

Julie said some of the biggest challenges involve getting all those little people into their car seats. “It takes around two hours to get them out the door.”

While they admit being a little scared of eventually having five teenagers in the house, the Robinsons are enjoying their time as parents of multiples. “It’s great to come home from work and get all those hugs,” said Keith, watching as Lily climbed onto the swings at Sycamore Park in Batavia.

“Lily is our independent one.”

“Dylan likes sports,” added Julie. “Nathan is always collecting keys.”

While they enjoy all the attention they get when they are on a family outing, sometimes it is difficult to field all the questions from people.

“We are usually pressed for time and while we enjoy

talking to people about our unique family, it is nice to just have the seven of us have a quiet family dinner out,” said Julie.

Keith and Julie said another important tool to help them survive is belonging to parents of multiples groups.

“We get lots of good advice, can swap clothes and toys, and participate in group sales,” they said.

On this Father’s Day, June 20, Keith said the best gift he can get is spending time with his family.

“Keith is a great dad,” Julie said watching him bounce one of the twins and one of the triplets on his knees. “He is wonderful with them ... reading, bathing and taking them on outdoor adventures.”

What do the kids think of dear old dad? Well, Lily calls him “Mr. Awesome,” which is what he jokingly tells her to call him.

Milford boys’ lacrosse wins state title Eagle boys capture Division III crown, Lady Eagles fall in state semifinals

By Anthony Amorini aamorini@communitypress.com

The third time proved to be the charm for the Milford High School boys’ club lacrosse team as the Eagles captured its first state championship with an overtime win over Centerville, 10-9, during the Division III (Club Division) State Championship finals Saturday, June 5.

The Eagles finished as Ohio’s runner-up in 2008 and 2009 after suffering losses to Sylvania on both occasions.

Making the most of its third consecutive trip to state, Milford bested Lebanon, 9-5, during the state semifinals Wednesday, June 2, before going on to win a state championship.

“It’s been a fun ride,” Milford boys coach Brian Cross said of the postseason. “(Winning state) was a huge goal for us from day one and we’ve been talking about it all season.

“These guys are really determined and it’s a team with a lot of heart and determination,” Cross added.

Milford finished at 14-5 overall this spring including its 4-0 run in the Division III tournament.

The Eagles opened tournament play with several comfortable wins including double-digit victories over Colerain, 17-3, and Anderson, 17-7, before facing Lebanon and Centerville.

“Anderson is always a big rival and the boys came out fired up and ready to go,” Cross said. “That was one of our best games of the season.”

The four-goal win over Lebanon which propelled the Eagles into the state finals was also an impressive performance from the Eagles, Cross said.

“There was a major delay before the game and we came out slow in the first half,” Cross said of being tied with Lebanon at halftime, 33, following an hour and a half rain delay before the game.

“Let’s just say the kids got an inspirational speech at halftime,” Cross joked. “We took over in the second half, controlled the ball and made some nice adjustments.”

Before Lebanon could score again, Milford had taken an 8-3 lead over the Warriors to insure its place in the state finals.

Milford goalie Matt Butler tries to hold off a potent Lebanon offense during the Eagles’ victory over the Warriors, 9-5, in the Division III State Championship semifinals Wednesday, June 2. alone.

Offensive standouts Pat McClanahan and Will Martin netted three goals a piece against Lebanon.

McClanahan, a Milford senior, ended the season with 57 goals and 21 assists not including the state finals.

Martin, an Eagle junior, finished with 41 goals and 20 assists not including the finals.

“This year you could see their focus from day one,” Cross said of his team’s drive to win state. “Will is obviously our leader in the midfield and Pat is definitely our leader on attack.

“They work well together and they feed off each other,” Cross said.

Additional leaders for the Eagle boys included Butler and senior defensemen Caleb Greve, Jake Gilpin and T.J. Cox. In the midfield, freshman Danny Poole and seniors Jason Butler and Eric Fish were key contributors for Milford in 2010, Cross said.

“All of the guys played a huge role in getting us to where we are at,” Cross said.

“It really was a total team effort from these guys.”

Martin finished as the Position Player of the Year in Division III in Ohio.

McClanahan, Martin and Butler all received First-Team All-State awards with Cox taking Second-Team AllState honors.

Butler and McClanahan were the Defensive and Offensive Most Valuable Players, respectively, during the Division III tournament.

The Lady Eagles’ club lacrosse team also advanced to state this spring though

the Milford girls fell during the Division III (Club Division) State Championship semifinals Friday, June 4, to North Canton, 15-11.

Finishing at 10-5 overall, the Milford girls bid farewell to a quintet of dedicated seniors including Sarah Kruse, Kelly Asher, Cora Petrosky, Becca Dodge and Lauren Bostrom.

It was the third consecutive trip to the state semifinals for the Lady Eagles.

“They have been out of school now for four weeks and they are still fully engaged,” Karin said of the Milford seniors dedication during the tournament. “Not

only are they outstanding lacrosse players, but they also have wonderful leadership skills.

“We are going to miss them tremendously,” Karin added.

Sarah, a second-team AllState selection, finished her senior season with 56 goals including five goals during the state semifinals.

Asher finished with 28 goals and 29 assists.

The pair were captains for the Lady Eagles in 2010.

Maggie Moberg, an Eagle junior, netted 28 goals and 25 assists this spring with fellow junior Angie Phillips close behind at 25 goals.

Petrosky contributed 20 assists with sophomore Paige Shiplett producing 19 goals.

Asher and Sarah were both named First-Team AllDistrict in 2010 with Angie and Bostrom taking SecondTeam All-District honors.

“The team had great chemistry this year,” Karin said. “They thoroughly enjoyed playing together and it showed.

“The girls worked really hard so it was great to see them get back to (the state semifinals). Regardless of the outcome in Columbus we are going up there to celebrate a great season,” Karin added.

Karin gave special thanks to Milford assistant coach Scott Phillips for his contributions before signing off for the season.

“He’s been great and I literally couldn’t do it without him,” Karin said of Scott.

Future bright for Moeller baseball

By Mark Chalifoux

mchalifoux@communitypress.com

Even though the season didn’t end as expected, the Moeller High School baseball team has a bright future ahead.

The team saw its run come to an end a game short

of the state finals as the Crusaders, the No. 1-ranked team in the state, fell to another top-ranked team, Greater Catholic League-rival Elder, 1-0 in the state semifinal June 4.

“We knew it would be tough since we barely beat

them last time,” Moeller head coach Tim Held said. “It’s disappointing to send those seniors out like that. They wanted to win back-to-back state titles, so to go out on a 1-0 loss is disappointing for them.”

Held said Elder pitcher

Brian Korte did a good job of shutting Moeller down when they had runners in scoring position. While the Crusaders fell short of a return to the state title game, it was another stellar season for Moeller.

The Crusaders finished the season 29-2 and went to

the state final four for the third consecutive season.

The Crusaders broke a number of team and individual records and had an impressive 27-game winning streak.

“It was a fantastic season,” Held said. “Our offense

from one to nine was the best Moeller has had in a long, long time. Our offense made things easier on our pitchers this year.”

Held said even during the 27-game win streak, the players never focused on the mounting wins.

Goshen grad wants young readers to have books

By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

Nathaniel Godby was not always a big reader, but by the time he got to high school, he realized how important it was.

During his senior year at Goshen High School, he volunteered at a book fair for younger students and noticed a lot of the kids didn’t have the money to buy a book.

“That sparked an idea,”

he said.

Godby wanted to put more books in the hands of young readers.

Godby He set up a program called SCORE: Sports Clubs Offering Reading Encouragement.

Godby, who played for the basketball, soccer and baseball teams at Goshen, said the effort was “built on the foundation that little kids look up to athletes.”

“They hang up pictures of athletes on their walls,” he said.

Godby said SCORE started as a project for National Honor Society, but soon transformed into a yearlong fund-raising effort with the goal of helping kids in kindergarten through second-grade purchase their own books at school book fairs.

He set a goal of $2,000 to provide vouchers that could be handed out to students by teachers.

“That lets them spend the voucher on the book of their choice,” Godby said.

Teresa Rohrkemper, principal of Marr/Cook Elementary, said Godby met with her about setting up the program at the school.

“It’s a great idea,” she said. “A very noble cause.”

Godby said there is about $500 in an account set up by the school district to fund the program.

He wants to keep the project going until there is enough money to provide book vouchers for all who need them.

Godby is going away to college in the fall, so he is looking for help.

Nancy McCarthy, the high school librarian, has agreed to keep track of the donations.

“I would like to see it transform into something bigger,” Godby said.

Godby graduated from Goshen June 4 as co-valedictorian. He also was president of the National Honor Society and Student Council.

He plans to attend Wilmington College and major in chemistry and education.

“I hope to be a teacher,” he said.

Anyone who would like to contribute to SCORE can send a check made out to the Goshen Local School District, with SCORE program designated on the check. Send checks to Goshen High School, c/o Nancy McCarthy, 6707 Goshen Road, Goshen, OH 45122.

VIEWPOINTS Milford Memorial Day parade a success

This was the third year that I was a part of the Victor Stier Post 450 Memorial Day Parade. Being the daughter of a World War II veteran, my memories of this parade are forever etched in my mind. From the band, the Gold Star Mothers, the firing squad and the somber playing of the Taps, this was a day and a week of placing flowers on graves. Of course, it was known back then as Decoration Day. Along with Mark and Don Chandler we have tried to bring a bit of the past into the future. The cooperation from the city of Milford, the police department and the fire department has been wonderful. Others who have stepped up have been Mike Castrucci for lending his convertibles for our dignitaries and D&L Leasing for their van to transport some of our legionnaires. The ROTC Color Guard from Live Oaks who led our parade under Lt. Al Brauer. This year two young men walked ahead of the parade and made sure everyone had an American flag. Thanks guys. And of course our veterans who proudly ride

atop the old SeaWeigel graves fire truck, Community thank you for Press Guest being there, then Columnist and now.

At our two cemeteries we were treated to a wonderful ceremony with Rev. Walter Buckner and Fr. Rob Waller, a short talk from Gary Knepp whose book “Beyond the Names” chronicled the lives of our Clermont County men who died in Vietnam and the four young men who sang “God Bless America.”

They were Mason Gatch, Gil Marchant, Eric Macy and Kent Thalman. This group also is known as “One Way Valve.” I would also like to thank 12-yearold Stevie Chandler for singing the National Anthem at St. Andrew Cemetery, great job.

For all the Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Daisy Troop and Girl Scouts, my faithful friends who drive our dignitaries and to all the citizens who came out to honor our veterans, the parade committee says thank you.

CH@TROOM Last week’s question:

What was the best advice your father gave you, and did you follow it?

What happened?

“Please don’t think that I did not love my father based on my answer to this question. He was a good man, and a hard working man. But there wasn’t a real parental connection between him and me.

“Dad was born in Austria Hungary in 1892, and migrated to this country in the early 20th century.

He had only a meager primary school education, and thus ended up being a laborer in the steel mills of southern Ohio. He and my mother had 12 children, raising 11 of them to adulthood. Life was so very difficult for both of them, but they persevered, and in my opinion, they did a wonderful job.

“My mother was the dominant figure in my childhood, and I was the second youngest of the 12.

Dad was 44 when I was born, and although he worked hard all of his life to help support his family, he wasn’t equipped with the intellectual skills to give me advice, per se.

“I had the benefit of a good education that he did not, and I accept that. He died in 1968, and he was a good, good man.”

B.B. “My best advice from my dad (and my mom) was to save. ‘It isn’t what you make but what you save.’

‘So when I was making $12 a week at Wolfer’s Forestville Pharmacy, I started buying a Series E bond once a month ... and then I got lucky and obtained an $18 a week position at the bank on Hyde Park Square and started buying a $50 bond a month.

“To make this shorter, when my husband and I went to buy our first home my boss said if I could come up with $7,500 they could make me a 4 percent loan. By that time, I’d piled up several $100 bonds (they were only $50 each

“I raised the $7,500. I worked at that bank for 19 years. And what was my salary in the end? $75 a week.”

J.F. “My dad always told me to finish what I started. He must’ve said it enough since now I do it without thinking. I still try to avoid procrastination and always take responsibility. Not a bad lesson.”

D.R. “’Pay your credit card bill in full every month – don’t spend money you don’t have.’ I absolutely followed it.

“Dad was a banker, heading up consumer financing when credit cards were the new big idea. He signed me up for one – and sent it to me with that warning.

“He also threatened to cancel my card the first time he found out I paid interest on my account. Not such a good thing for his bank – but excellent financial advice I still heed it today, 40 years later.”

J.S.B. “The best advice my father ever gave me: ‘Never buy anything on credit except your house and maybe your car.’ Tough advice to adhere to in these economic times, but sound enough that if anyone could actually do this, they would undoubtedly be in safer, more stable financial condition than most people. ‘Nuff said.”

ADVERTISER

Foreclosure. The mere mention of foreclosure reasonably strikes fear into homeowners. The fear extends beyond finances to the very heart of families – their stability, security and peace of mind are negatively impacted by losing a home. The personal stakes involved make foreclosure cases among the most difficult judges must handle. In assuming the Common Pleas bench in February 2009, I also assumed a frontline position in Clermont County’s ongoing foreclosure crisis. My experience as judge has provided me with considerable insight into how homeowners can best deal with foreclosure.

A foreclosure is best described as a two-part process beginning with the lender’s filing of a civil complaint. After receiving the complaint, the homeowner is required to respond in writing to the court within 28 days under risk of default judgment to the lender. Regardless of the manner obtained, the lender must first receive a judgment in its favor before taking the steps necessary to collect it through auction of the homeowner’s property. In practice, this process can prove lengthy, often taking several months. This gives homeowners time to communicate with their lenders with an eye towards favorably resolving the situation. However, their active participation is required from day one and cannot be stressed enough. The following tips stem from my judicial observations.

Upon receiving the foreclosure complaint, contact the lender’s attorney. Regardless of any prior conversations with the lender, call

the lender’s attorney and explain your desire to resolve the situation. Often, attorneys are not made aware of your prior discussions with the Judge W. lender until you Kenneth Zuk tell them. Furtherthe attorCommunity more, ney has contacts Press Guest with the lender Columnist authorized to approve alternative payment arrangements that cannot be utilized unless you ask.

Provide all requested financial documents to the lender. Most lenders now require completed “loss mitigation packets” to evaluate your current ability to pay and possible placement within any offered programs. This packet must be fully completed and returned quickly. Lenders can do little with incomplete information.

Read all documents received and take advantage of available resources. All foreclosure defendants receive information detailing the court’s mediation program.

This program provides a valuable forum for discussing foreclosure alternatives, but is only as effective as you make it – follow all steps carefully and be prepared to assume responsibility in submitting documents and scheduling your mediation. Court mediator Josh Vineyard can be reached at 732-7134.

Carefully read all documents filed. Persons proceeding without counsel are presumed to know the law. Many times, homeowners requesting extensions of time for

Make no assumptions. Once foreclosure is filed, the lender is unlikely to initiate settlement discussions. Do not sit back and wait.

Time is of the essence. Most importantly, begin discussions with your lender immediately after receiving the complaint. Many foreclosures potentially resolved through early communications quickly become unmanageable as fees and costs accrue. Resist the urge to avoid the situation – instead, be proactive.

Help keep Miami Township clean

Now that summer has arrived and the warm temperatures invite us to enjoy outdoor activities, there are those who also come out to vandalize our neighborhoods.

Often times it is youths in the community who seem to find themselves with too much time on their hands, and who are unsupervised or are simply bored and find excitement in damaging what doesn’t belong to them. Some vandals have revenge, anger or alliance in mind when they damage someone else’s property while others have reasons that simply aren’t known to us. Whatever the reason, maliciously damaging someone else’s property is wrong and it is a crime.

The bigger impact of vandalism can be found in the crime prevention theory called “broken windows.” If vandalism goes unreported, the decay of a neighborhood may get its start. As time goes on, vandals become more brazen and graduate to other more serious crimes. Residents feel unsafe, lock themselves in their homes and basically surrender their neighborhood to the criminals. When you see graffiti, “yard jobs,” broken street lights,

smashed mailboxes, street signs spray painted or parks damaged, please report it to the police.

Vandalism hurts people and Steve property.

Everyone must get involved to prevent and stop vandalism in our community. If the vandalism is in the form of litter or dumped trash, clean it up. If the vandalism is more serious, please report it immediately.

Talk to your neighbors about incidents that occur in your neighborhood. Someone may have seen something to report to your local police. If you belong to a church or community group, consider organizing clean ups and improvement events. Consider adopting areas of your neighborhood to keep clean and damage

free. Consider additional lighting if needed and secure areas that are not in use such as swimming pools and play areas. It is important that the vandalism be handled immediately to keep our community safe and clean.

Talk to your children about vandalism and the responsibility of being out with friends who may participate in negative activities.

Non-participating children who are present with others who are committing these crimes could also be charged, and their parents may be held financially responsible for the damage caused by their children. The repair and replacement costs can easily total in the thousands.

Remember, vandalism is the intentional and malicious destruction of or damage to the property of another. Vandalism is a crime.

Please report it to the police.

Together we can help keep Miami Township a community that is family friendly, safe and clean.

Mios in Milford has new owners who are offering new specials and an expanded bar. From left: Matt Dienger, Chris Forbes and Matt Petersman.

New owners of Mio’s Milford expand offerings Now open for lunch and offering delivery, the new owners of Mio’s pizza in Milford offer lunch specials and an expanded bar.

Matt Petersman, one of three new owners of the Milford Mio’s and a Miami Township resident, saw an opportunity in the struggling business.

“We must’ve heard it 20 different ways from hundreds of people that they love the food but the service was lacking,” said Petersman of the restaurant before he and his partners took over.

Before Petersman stepped in, the location did not offer lunch during the week, nor delivery. Petersman immediately solved that problem.

Owners since Aug. 1, Petersman said it only took about a month to start delivery service. During that time, he had multiple customers calling to see if it was offered.

It took a a month to set up the service, he said,

stressing the importance of delivery for a pizza restaurant.

In addition to delivery and six lunches for under $6, the new owners boast 50-inch high-definition televisions and an enlarged beer and wine selection.

They invite Reds fans to watch their team at Mio’s during the summer.

Mio’s offers unique pizzas such as chicken fajita and buffalo chicken pizzas along with pasta and hoagies.

Their dining room seats 90 and is available for businesses to rent.

Mio’s Milford is at 217 Rivers Edge Drive in Milford. The phone number is 513-576-6666 and they are open for dine-in, carryout and delivery until 9 p.m.

Sunday through Thursday and until 10 p.m. weekends.

Pierce Township Police Officer Laetitia Schuler last fall was sent to investigate the theft of copper at a Duke Energy substation.

Her investigation led to the arrest of a suspect who was convicted and sent to prison. It was determined he was responsible for more than $1.2 million in losses and damages at Duke facilities in Miami Township, Goshen Township, Union Township, Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

For her efforts, Schuler was honored May 27 at the Clermont County Police Appreciation Banquet with an award for Criminal Investigator of the Year, Small Department.

The 27th annual banquet was presented by the Clermont County Citizens Law Enforcement Association.

Another award winner, Cpl. Ron Robinson of the Goshen Township Police Department, was recognized for his work leading to the arrest of more than 60 drug trafficking suspects.

One of the suspects was Amy Baker, a witness in the Marcus Fiesel murder case.

“There are fewer drug dealers in Goshen because of what Ron did,” said Goshen Township Trustee Jack Kuntz.

Kuntz presented Robinson with the award as Officer of the Year, Small Department.

Officer Chris Wilson of the Union Township Police Department received the Medal of Honor award for pulling a driver out of a burning car after the vehicle crashed in a ditch.

Other award winners: • Officer of the Year, Large Department: Edwin Holt, a crime scene technician with the Clermont County Sheriff’s Office.

Does God’s love always go easy on us?

The scriptures insist that God loves us. The problem is we’re confused about what love is and the ways it can be shown.

To us, love is always pleasing, comforting and brings pleasant feelings. In love stories it’s always accompanied by violins, roses and dinners on the town.

It’s understandable then, when we hear that God loves us, that we expect to live on Easy Street.

Televangelists urge us to turn ourselves over to God. If we do, they imply, God will heal our illnesses, give us twice as much money as we donate, and take the rough times out of our lives.

When this doesn’t happen we may think it means God doesn’t hear, doesn’t care, doesn’t love.

Cynicism and despair can nest in our minds.

Suppose a sculptor promised only good feelings to a block of

marble as he brought forth a beautiful statue from within it. If he did promise that, he could never strike the first blow. The marble could Father Lou legitimately comGuntzelman plain that the was Perspectives sculptor being untrue to his word.

Parents have their young son inoculated though he cries. They enroll their daughter in school though she’s homesick. Young children experience times they doubt their parents love because of unpleasant events they don’t understand. At times, good parents seem rough – but it’s for love’s sake.

God does too. Love can be

expressed in many ways. It can be playful, sacrificial, giving, formative, romantic, passionate and demanding.

Recently we’ve coined the term “tough love.” It expresses unpleasant demands made on the one loved for their greater good – even though making the demands may pain the one making them.

Real love is not known only for stroking egos but for forming them. We accept bad-tasting medicine because we trust the love of the one who administers it.

Why is it, then, when we look for signs of God’s love, we expect them to only be those things that make us comfortable?

An insightful prayer says: “I asked God to take away my sickness and give me health, but he permitted my illness to continue longer so I could learn compassion for others; I prayed for a better-

paying job, and instead he gave me appreciation for what I already have.”

God’s love doesn’t always come in the language of human logic.

In his autobiography, Nikos Kazantzakis tells how as a young man he went to visit a famous monk: He found the old monk in a cave. He writes: “I did not know what to say… Finally I gathered up courage. ‘Do you still wrestle with the devil, Father Makarios?’ I asked him.”

“Not any longer, my child. I have grown old now and he has grown old with me. He doesn’t have the strength… I wrestle with God.” “With God!’ I exclaimed in astonishment. And you hope to win?”

“I hope to lose, my child.”

Like a child lacking insight, we

all wrestle with God at times about what is good for us and what is not. We accuse God of dealing with us uncaringly because he allows us to sometimes be harshly treated by life and seems to do nothing to help us.

Understandably, we think we know what’s good for us in our struggles. Sometimes we do. But only Perfect Love knows perfectly.

Simone Weil says, “Isn’t the greatest possible disaster, when you are wresting with God, not to be beaten?”

Graduates need to plug their health insurance gap This is the time of year when students are graduating from college and looking for work. They have a lot on their minds and, perhaps because of that, they may not be thinking about one important thing they need to get – health insurance.

College students are generally covered under their parent’s health insurance plan, but when they graduate that coverage ends and they must get their own insurance. They can do so under their parents’ COBRA plan, or they can take out their own coverage until they get a job that provides health insurance.

Kelly Ives of Ross learned even a short gap in coverage can cause major problems.

“I graduated from college last year, in March 2009.

After that I was employed, but it took about two months for my insurance to be activated. It’s mandatory for new hires, anywhere

you go, that it t a k e s about 30 to 60 days for insurance to kick in,” Ives said.

Howard Ain When Hey Howard! she got the insurance she sent a copy of a certificate showing she had health insurance under her parents’ plan, but it turns out that wasn’t good enough.

“Unfortunately, I got sick in December 2009, and now currently I’m in a battle with the insurance company – and have been for six months,” she said. “They’re refusing to pay because I had a break in coverage for two months.”

Ives was hospitalized for five days and ran up thousands of dollars in medical bills.

“It was just a bacterial

infection. I had gotten an ear infection and it just kept going on and on. Over time it grew into a bigger infection that had to be treated with antibiotics and steroids in the hospital because it had gotten so bad,” she said.

Ives says her bills now total more than $10,000, and the collection letters are hurting her credit rating.

“The first couple of bills that came in the insurance paid for,” she said. “Once they realized it was going to be a significant amount of money, they backed off and said, ‘Well, this is not our responsibility.’”

This experience shows the importance for graduating students, either high school or college who are going out into the workforce, to get their own health insurance policy without a break in coverage.

A new Ohio law takes effect July first that allows

parents to request coverage for their dependent children on their employer’s plan until they reach age 28 – even if they are not in college. They can request this coverage on their policy’s first renewal date on or after July first.

A new federal law takes

effect Sept. 23, giving parents the right to give health insurance to their dependent children until they reach age 26, also whether or not they are in college.

Some employers and insurers are allowing graduating students to stay on their parent’s health plan

You’ll want to piccata this chicken for dinner

I had a fun time in Nashville last week presenting before the Herb Society of America. My topic was on culinary herbs of the Bible and, thankfully, everyone enjoyed it.

We ate our way through Nashville barbecue restaurants, too. Now I’m addicted to the blend of spices used in Nashville’s special rubs and sauces.

If any of you have a favorite southern rub or barbecue sauce that you’d like to share, that would be awesome. I’ll share some of my recipes in an upcoming column.

1 ⁄2 cup fat free low sodium chicken broth 2 tablespoons f r e s h l e m o n Rita juice Heikenfeld 1 tables p o o n Rita’s kitchen capers, drained, rinsed and drained again 2 tablespoons healthy butter substitute (or even real butter if you like) Fresh lemon slices Fresh chopped parsley

Chicken piccata

Season cutlets with salt and pepper (go very light on salt) and dust with flour, shaking off excess. Sauté 23 minutes per side.

When sautéing other side, cover pan with serving platter – this keeps moisture in the cutlets and also warms the platter.

Don’t overcook. Transfer to warm platter. Deglaze pan with wine and add garlic. Cook until garlic is only slightly golden and liquid is

This is what I served to participants of a heart healthy class I taught recently. It was delicious.

When I make this at home, I use real butter and it’s still a relatively healthy dish.

4 chicken cutlets 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 ⁄4 cup dry white wine like Chardonnay 1 teaspoon garlic, minced

nicely reduced.

Add broth, lemon juice and capers. Return cutlets to pan and cook a minute or so on each side. Put back on platter. Stir in butter substitute and pour over cutlets.

Garnish with lemon slices and parsley.

Like Lofthouse Cookies

Reader Annie Hoffman is a fine baker and shared this recipe. All Recipes.com called it “The Best rolled Sugar Cookie.”

Anyone who has eaten those Lofthouse cookies that you buy will like having this clone to make at home.

I haven’t yet tried it but intend to do so this week.

For the readers who request this on an on-going basis.

1

⁄2 cup soft butter ⁄3 cup sugar 11⁄3 eggs **see Annie’s note for measuring 12⁄3 cups all purpose flour 3 ⁄4 teaspoon baking powder 1 ⁄4 teaspoon salt 1 ⁄4 teaspoon vanilla extract 2

in vanilla. Refrigerate leftovers up to two weeks.

Can you help?

Through the Garden Restaurant’s Cajun chicken and shrimp salad with cilantro ranch dressing. For Sally. “Looking for a clone for the rub and dressing – salad is amazing.”

Old Shillito’s seasoning for fried chicken. For Grace Robinson. “A couple came in every year and made fried chicken right on the first floor. I bought the seasoning from them way back when. It was called ‘Vadon’ and had salt, black pepper, white pepper, other spices and herbs. It was the best in the world and I can’t find anything like it.”

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt which have been whisked together. Cover and chill dough for at least one hour or overnight.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out dough on floured surface 1⁄2 inch thick.

Cut into shapes with any cookie cutter dipped in flour.

Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake six to eight minutes, the trick here is not to get them too brown, just until the edges seem to brown slightly.

Cool, leave out overnight uncovered and then frost with butter cream, then add

sprinkles.

Now you cover them if there are any left! Ice as desired. **Annie just beats one egg in a cup and takes a third out of it.

Buttercream frosting

The real deal. This is a soft icing.

11⁄2 cups butter, softened 4 cups confectioners’ sugar 2 tablespoons half & half or milk 1 teaspoon vanilla or other extract Beat butter until creamy, gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add half & half; beat until spreading consistency. Stir

Browned butter frosting

For the reader who wanted this old fashioned icing to top banana cake.

1 stick (1⁄2 cup) cup real butter 4 cups confectioners’ sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla 3-5 tablespoons milk.

Melt butter over medium heat. Cook four to six minutes, stirring constantly and watching closely, until butter just begins to turn golden – it will get foamy and bubble.

Remove from heat right away. Cool 15 minutes.

Then beat in sugar, vanilla and enough milk to make frosting smooth.

Volunteers needed for June 19 river sweep The Clermont 20/20 Clean and Green Program and ORSANCO (Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission) are hosting the 21th annual Ohio River Sweep from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, June 19. Volunteers are needed to remove

trash and debris from the Ohio River shoreline, riverbank and river tributaries.

Four riverfront staging areas have been established in Clermont County: Chilo Lock #34 Park – older children and adult volunteers only due to rough terrain;

Neville – Indian Mound Campground; Moscow – Riverfront Park (222 Second Street); and in New Richmond at the riverfront bandstand. Large items and tires removed during the Ohio River Sweep can be dropped off at the Meldahl

Lock and Dam parking lot.

Becky Ploucha, Clermont 20/20 Clean and Green Program director, said, “Removing the litter and debris enhances both the water quality and wildlife potential. It is a great opportunity for volunteers to play

an active role in improving the environment in the Ohio River Valley.”

Volunteers will receive free T-shirts, gloves, bags and refreshments. Volunteers are encouraged to dress appropriately for the weather. Do not wear open-

toed shoes and avoid poison ivy by wearing long pants and long-sleeved shirts.

During the Clermont County Democratic Party's reception, Gov. Ted Strickland talked about the economy, the budget and the voting for democratic candidates in the fall.

On a more local level, Strickland said he plans to continue to work to improve the state’s economy and secure additional federal funding for schools. He said he wants to look into selling state assets to collect money without raising taxes.

He also talked about the Democratic candidates who will be on the November ballot as well as his running mate, Yvette McGee Brown.

Ohio Governor Ted Strickland had a lot to say when he stopped by VFW Post 9630 Monday, May 17.

The Clermont County Democratic Party held a reception for Strickland at the post as a fundraiser for the November election, and Strickland spent about 45 minutes talking about the state’s budget and the economy. He also spoke in support of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and President Barack Obama’s stimulus spending. “The stimulus act was very controversial and it passed without a single Republican vote ... It enabled us to continue to provide funding for our schools, it allowed us to keep college tuition down and it enabled us to increase Medicare,� Strickland said. “Obama came into office at a critical time and there’s a lot at stake.�

Broccoli, asparagus now in freezer Howdy folks, It is Memorial Day as I write this column. Tomorrow Ruth Ann and I go to Lebanon, Ohio, to attend a P.E.R.I. District meeting along with other folks.

I was talking to a feller called Bill. He said he was planting tomatoes and onions. A dog he has was pulling the plants up and laying them at his feet. He didn’t take kindly to the help the dog was doing, so he tied the dog up and that didn’t make the dog happy.

The other day I looked up at a telephone pole and there was a big buzzard setting there with it’s wings spread so it could cool off.

Last week Ruth Ann put the first broccoli in the freezer along with some asparagus. The strawberries we have are doing good.

On Tuesdays, there are some talented young people there weaving on the big looms, so stop in and see this art.

The other morning we were watching a program on R.F.D. TV that a feller puts on called Texas Country Reporter. On this program, he talked about the only hand-powered ferry in the United States. This ferry would haul people and vehicles across the river.

There were vehicles lined up to cross. The time the ferry was in operation was 8 a.m. till 5 p.m.

That would be a real treat to cross a river on a ferry pulled by six

Now last Friday was Ruth Ann’s birthday, so we went down to Red Lobster for the noon meal.

We had shrimp, baked potato, baked fish, salad, biscuits and Boston Tea. Last Saturday after visiting the cemetery in Williamsburg, we went to a funeral visitation for a friend. He worked for the sheriff’s department and was a very dedicated Christian. He had health problems, so the Good Lord saw he was getting tired and a cure was not to be, so He put his arms around him and whispered, come to me. Dennis Spencer will be missed.

While we were in Williamsburg, we stopped and visited Wendy’s World. They have a wonderful store filled with all

men pulling the rope across.

We planted beans last week in three different beds. One bed was cranberry beans or Dwarf Horticulture. The other two were green beans, called Roma. Someone told Ruth Ann they really liked them so we got the seed at Grants farm.

At the memorial service held at the Old Bethel Methodist Church here at East Fork, there was a good crowd of almost 60 people.

A young feller was home on leave so he led the pledge to the flag.

The music was furnished by the Kinner Express and was very good. The veterans were asked to tell when they were in the service and what branch they were in.

There were 10 vets there.

The American Legion from Bethel sure did a super job honoring the veterans along with the

Scouts, American Heritage Girls and others. All together George there were more Rooks than 100 people there – wonderful.

Ole Since Ruth Fisherman Ann’s and my birthdays are close together our children had a supper for both of us at Debbie’s house Memorial Day evening.

We hope and pray you folks had a very fine holiday and got to spend time with your family.

Start your week by going to the church of your choice and praise the Good Lord. God bless all. More later.

How to know when parents need help If your parents are getting older, you probably are trying to make sure they’re taking care of themselves and staying healthy. That can be difficult if they live miles away.

Sometimes parents won’t admit they need help around the house. Other times they may not even realize they need it. Here are five things to look for the next time you visit them.

Have your parents lost weight? Weight loss could indicate a significant health problem, such as cancer, dementia, depression, heart failure, and/or malnutrition.

Are there groceries in the cabinets? Are they on a diet when there is no need to be?

Are your aging parents

still safe in their home? Take a look around their home with an eye out for red flags.

Are they having trouble maintaining their home? Are the lights working? Is the heat on? Has their normally neat yard become overgrown? Are there dirty dishes in the sink? Is their home cluttered with piles of newspapers and magazines?

Are they taking care of themselves? Notice if they’re keeping up with their personal hygiene. Are their clothes clean? Do they take their medicine and keep medical appointments?

How are their spirits?

What is their mood? Everyone has good and bad days, but a drastic change in mood could be a sign of depres-

sion. Do they seem withdrawn or blue?

Do your parents have difficulty getting around? For many older adults, the fear of falling can be almost as devastating as an actual fall.

It can lead to self-imposed restrictions, social isolation and depression. If they have a health condition that makes it difficult to care for themselves, suggest some minor changes that can help keep them safer.

A few simple safety measures can help alleviate their fear – and yours. Install grab bars and place rubber bath mats in the tub and shower. Install bright lights over stairs, steps and landings. Make sure there are handrails on both sides of

the stairs. A working smoke alarm can cut your family’s risk Linda of dying in a Eppler home fire almost in Caring & half. Check it Sharing when you’re there.

If you are concerned about your parents, or not sure if they need help, call Clermont Senior Services at 724-1255 and ask for Intake. Our professional staff will be glad to talk with you and help you make decisions.

Linda Eppler is director of communications and lifelong learning for Clermont Senior Services.

with addition of two business leaders to the board of directors. New board members include Jennifer Porter, general manager of Holiday Inn & Suites Cincinnati Eastgate, and Tom Rocklin, senior program manager of Siemens PLM Software.

Having served the business community for 40 years, the chamber has long relationships with Siemens PLM Software, formerly SDRC founded in 1967; and with the Holiday Inn since its opening in Porter 1982.

“We’re pleased to welcome two new members to the Clermont Chamber Board who each bring Rocklin unique qualities to the position,” said Andy McCreanor, incoming chair of the chamber board of directors. “Tom Rocklin has the experience of a seasoned professional who has learned much over the years and is willing to serve others by sharing his knowledge. He gets it as a leader and a citizen when it comes to defining what quality of life means in terms of economic growth and community prosperity. Tom consistently demonstrates his personal commitment to making Clermont County a better place to live and work.”

Speaking of Porter, McCreanor said, “She represents new thought leadership to the Clermont Chamber Board of Directors. As a young professional and general manager of a major stakeholder in Clermont County economic development, she’ll be an innovative source in helping shape the Chamber’s role in Clermont’s future. Jennifer brings a fresh perspective to the Clermont Chamber Board of Directors at a time when developing next leaders has become a strategic priority for many organizations and communities.
