‘Welcome to Milford’

Council approves money for gateway signs

By Kellie Geist-May

kmay@communitypress.com

MILFORD - The city’s entrance near the intersection of U.S. 50 and Ohio 126 in historic downtown will be getting a makeover. City council in May approved a $13,000 increase to Milford’s existing contract with LTD Landscaping to include a complete redesign of the “Welcome to Milford” gateway. “The proposal includes removing the plantings, creating a new grade installing a stone ledge, and putting in more plantings,” said Interim City Manager Pam Holbrook. LTD will try to save the existing plants and the city’s water department staff plans to create a irrigation system for the area, she said When council approved LTD’s original $33,000 contract in January, Community Development Chair Charlene Hinners said they wanted to look at increasing the

MidSummer at the Meadows returns

Tommy James, Rare Earth to play By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com

MIAMI TWP. - Get ready, because here comes Miami Township’s annual MidSummer at the Meadows. The festival’s two headliners this year are Rare Earth, famous for their single “Get Ready” and Tommy James and the Shondells, famous for “Mony, Mony” and “I Think We’re Alone Now.” “They are classic oldie bands dating back to the 1960s and early 1970s,” said Miami Township Administrator Larry Fronk. “Tommy James and the Shondells put on a great show in Symmes or Sycamore a couple of years ago so it should be a fun night.” Rare Earth will play at 9 p.m. Friday, July 8, and Tommy James and the Shondells will play at the same time the next night, Saturday, July 9. Amelia Mayor Leroy Ellington also will make an appearance Friday night as his band, Leroy Ellington and the EFunk Band, opens for Rare Earth. “I have not heard his band before, but I’ve heard great things about them,” Fronk said. “They play some really good songs so I’m looking forward to seeing them Friday night.” Aside from live music, the festival includes rides, games, food, a classic car show, the Natalie Fos-

Holiday parade canceled By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com

Natalie Maltry, Hannah Isfort and Annie Slone take flight in one of the rides at last year’s MidSummer at the Meadows. sier Fly Thru the Park 5K and even a magic show. There’s also going to be a mobile video game theater at this year’s festival, said Miami Township Recreation Director Krystin Thibodeau. “It has room for 12 people to be in it playing games and they’re going to have tournaments with different games,” she said. “We’re really excited about it. It’s air conditioned and it has surround sound and the chairs vibrate to move to the game.” Thibodeau said the township decided to bring in the mobile video game unit in an effort to entertain the teenagers who attend the festival. “There is a huge number of teenagers who attend the event, but there’s not a lot for them to do so we wanted to find something new that would be exciting for them,” she said.

Teenagers aren’t the only ones who turn out for the festival each year. Fronk said MidSummer at the Meadows also attracts lots of families with children and older residents of the township. “This is a way for the township government to give something back to our residents,” he said. “It gives them a stay-at-home vacation as a weekend with music and activities they can enjoy at a very low cost. We want to continue to strive to make it a community event for our residents.” MidSummer at the Meadows starts at 6 p.m. Friday, July 8, at Miami Meadows Park, 1546 Ohio 131. It begins at 3 p.m. Saturday, July 9, and ends at 11 p.m. both nights. There will be a Rozzi Fireworks display at 10:30 p.m. Saturday. For more information, visit miamitwp.org.

MIAMI TWP. - The popular Holiday Parade has been canceled due to construction blocking the parade route. The parade usually proceeds along Business 28 to Meijer on Ohio 28, but those roads will be under heavy construction for the rest of the year. The parade is at night and features brightly lit floats made by members of the community. “We’ve discussed alternative routes with the staff, but there are none,” said Miami Township Administrator Larry Fronk. “That is the most logical place to have it, but it’s under construction now and will go into the fall and winter before it’s finished.” Miami Township Trustee Mary Makley Wolff said though the parade is several months away and usually take place in November, the township should be conservative and smart about planning the parade. “We can’t do something if it’s not safe for the residents,” she said. Wolff also said the township would explore making its annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony a larger event, possibly with sleigh rides or other events to make up for the lack of a parade.

Spinney. The grant requires a $1.6-million local match. Although the county does have the money available in its capital fund, the six-year forecast for that budget is low, according to a capital fund report Spinney provided Tuesday, June 7. Commissioner Archie Wilson said he doesn’t want to spend that money, especially not on CTC. “I’m anti-CTC because it’s not a business I think the county should be in,” he said. “I will never support anything out of taxpayers money to support CTC and I’d like to make that plain. Why are we even in the mass transit business?” Spinney said the county used to have the smaller buses with door-to-door service as part of the rural

The Clermont County commissioners may turn down a $4-million grant because one commissioner doesn’t want to funnel $1.6 million into the Clermont Transportation Connection. Last year, the county administration applied for a Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments grant to build a new facility for CTC as well as the county’s fleet and engineering operations. If accepted, the grant would pay for a new six-bay garage, administration area and site work. This does not include moving the engineer’s administration office that would come in another project phase later, said County Administrator Dave

transit system. At that time, federal grant money paid for Metro to operate express routes in Milford, Eastgate and Amelia. When Clermont County was classified as urban in 2000, the public transit funding changed and Metro no longer received grant money for those services. In 2003, Clermont County decided to start their own mass transit system so they could claim the urban funds, but Spinney said the county has always subsidized CTC. Wilson said he doesn’t think mass transit is a valuable service in Clermont County since not everyone works downtown anymore. “People should pay their own way to get to work. Why should I subsidize one person’s commute downtown and not someone who

is going to Kenwood? I don’t like that someone can park a $40,000 car in the lot and hop on the bus to get to work,” he said. Commissioner Ed Humphrey, who used to be the county’s bus manager, said the county is in the bus business to provide services for the residents and to claim Clermont’s share of the transit funding. “This is a social service we provide to our citizens,” he said. “We don’t put that much money into CTC - we draw down federal money our people have already paid taxes into. If we don’t draw it down, it will go to Cincinnati or Columbus or California for that matter. In this case, we’d be leveraging $1.6 million in our money to get a new fleet building, which we need anyway, that

would also serve CTC,” Humphrey said. Wilson Wilson said he doesn’t mind if this grant - and all the CTC funding - goes elsewhere. “There’s no such thing as free money. I don’t care if the grants go to China. I just don’t believe in certain things,” he said. “I just don’t like it.” Spinney said the county is not obligated to provide bus services or accept the OKI grant. However, if they are going to accept the $4 million, they need to start design work this summer. Commissioner Bob Proud said he needed time to think about the long-term future of CTC before he made a decision on accepting the grant.

Public Library meeting rooms are to be used only for library-sponsored programs and events,” meaning outside groups such as homeowners associations and book clubs can’t meet at the county library branches. The policy was adopted in 2008 in response to a lawsuit brought against the library by an Amelia couple who were told they couldn’t use the meeting rooms to lead financial ministries. That lawsuit was settled in 2008 and Clermont County Public Library Executive Director Dave Mezack said the library board’s move to open the rooms back up to the public is unrelated to the lawsuit. “That was back in 2008 and it was settled in 2008,” he said. “It doesn’t have any baring or implication towards the new policy. The board of trustees have been working for the past few months to formulate a new policy.” Since the rooms were closed, Mezack said the

library has received requests from the Clermont County Literacy Advisory Council, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, homeowners associations, book clubs and parents who want to hold their child’s birthday party at the library. “The policy read that unless it was a library-sponsored program, they could not use the meeting rooms,” Mezack said. “The library had to be the one to initiate it and ask somebody to come in and do a program.” Library board president Joe Braun said a new meeting room policy should be in place in the next few months, but it will likely have some restrictions about who can use the rooms. “It’s my hope in the future that we will restrict the meeting rooms from being used for commercial purposes,” he said. “I personally don’t want to see the library used as a marketplace for people to sell their goods, but at the same time we want people in the community to have access to

our rooms for events and presentations.” The new policy also could include a small fee to using the meeting rooms to help pay for maintenance costs, Mezack said. The library officials have never charged a fee for meeting room use, but several other library systems do, he said. “If they do associate a fee with the meeting rooms, it wouldn’t be revenue-producing,” he said. “It would basically be to offset the costs of cleaning the carpets and taking care of extra maintenance. The other public libraries in Ohio that have those fees range anywhere from $15 to $25.” Allowing different groups to use the meeting rooms also will bring more people into the libraries, Braun said. “If people have access to the library to hold meetings there, it brings them in so they can browse our collections and many people who wouldn’t normally use the library would do so,” he said.

Senior services seek levy renewal in November By Kellie Geist-May kmay@communitypress.com

Clermont Senior Services will be on the ballot this November, but they won’t be asking for any additional money. The current senior services levy, which is 1.3 mills, will expire at the end of 2011 and costs homeowners about $33 per year per $100,000 of home value, said George Brown, Clermont Senior Services executive director. The organization will be asking for a renewal levy Tuesday, Nov. 8. That levy, if passed, would cost the same amount and would be in place from 2012 to 2016. Brown said while the organization could use additional revenue, officials felt

it would be irresponsible to ask for additional revenue given the current economy. “We felt that the only fiscally-responsible path we could take was to ask for a renewal, so that’s what we’re going to do,” he said. Clermont Senior Services Board Chairman Tom Cole said wage freezes, efficiencies in services and cuts from attrition have helped the organization keep a handle on expenses despite rising costs. “It hasn’t been easy, but it’s all helped,” he said. Brown also said Clermont Senior Services is experiencing flat to slow growth, which is expected to continue for another five years. Without an increase in demand, Brown said they

should be able to continue operations at current levels without additional revenue. Clermont Senior Services provides adult day services, Meals-on-Wheels, transportation for seniors and inhome care. The organization also has built six senior housing facilities and is working on the seventh, but no senior services levy dollars are spent on the construction or operation of these facilities. The Clermont County commissioners are expected to certify the need for this levy during the regular meeting either Monday, May 9, or Wednesday, May 11. Both of those meetings start at 1 p.m. and will be held on the third floor of the county administration building, 101 East Main St.

Milford interviewing interns to help city engineer By Kellie Geist-May kmay@communitypress.com

Milford - Officials are talking to five University of Cincinnati engineering students to find an intern to help the city’s engineering department this summer. The city staff will be embarking on a five-month, $603,000 storm water rehabilitation project in East Milford this summer and they need someone on-site, said Interim City Manager Pam Holbrook.

“In order to protect the city’s interest, it’s necessary to have someone on-site a good portion of the time. In the past, we’ve used an engineering firm to provide inspections and construction management, but after we got the quote on what that would cost, council asked if there were alternatives,” she said. The quote from CDP Engineers was $77,000 to have someone on site for five days a week and $43,000 for three days per week, Holbrook said.

Council member and Public Services Committee Chair Amy Brewer said council wanted to explore using existing staff to manage the storm water project. “The committee felt providing this service with existing staff would be the most economical option for the city. We were trying to find a way to save money and we decided to try having an intern who could work in the engineering department while our City Engineering Bud White managed the project,” Brewer said. “Hope-

fully, it will be a win-win for everyone.” Holbrook contact UC’s co-op program and a professor gave her five qualified resumes. The city staff is interviewing those candidates now. “The intern will be in the office answering phones, talking to people, doing research and handling some on-site inspections with Bud,” she said. “If we can get a good intern, it would be a learning opportunity for them and a chance for the city to save money.”

The plan is to have the intern hired from June 20 through Sept. 17 as part of the co-op program, Holbrook said. The stormwater project is expected to start in the next couple months. The project area includes Riverside Drive, Belt Street and Walnut Street and the money will come from the city’s stormwater utility fund, Holbrook said.

Clermont Administrator Dave Spinney recommended that the county contract with Brian Hurley of the law firm Crabbe, Brown and James to advise the county on whether it should provide representation for the prosecutor in the lawsuit. Spinney said Hurley previously worked for the

Milford Parks & Rec looking for people to lead recreational programs By Kellie Geist-May kmay@communitypress.com

MILFORD - The Parks and Recreation Commission is thinking about offering recreational programs, but they are looking for local experts who might be willing to host the classes and events. “I don’t think we’ll be able to be like Miami Township, with classes every day, because we don’t have a staff, but I think we could do a couple things a month,” said Parks and Rec Chair Charles Evans. Evans said they are open

to having sessions for things like CPR and baby-sitting, but would like to see if there are people who would be willing to offer classes like pottery, painting and yoga, too. Parks and Rec’s city council representative Laurie Walter said Enchanted Moments in historic downtown Milford has expressed interest in offering belly dancing classes. “I think this all sounds fun,” Walter said. Walter said Parks and Rec could rent the city space for the classes so there wouldn’t be a room charge. Most of the fees charged to

take the classes would to go the organization or person leading the class, but Evans said the Parks and Recreation Commission could receive a small portion of the money to help pay for room cleaning and other expenses. What those fees and charges would be has not been discussed. Milford doesn’t have a recreation department, so a city staff member or Parks and Rec member would need to be on-site during the classes, Walter said. Evans said he’d like to look into having recreational activities as part of expand-

ing Parks and Rec’s impact. “If we could do something like this, we’d be providing opportunities for our citizens,” he said. “With the newly renovated Harry Hodges (room) and the park we’re working on, I think this is a good idea.” Since there’s not a staff member to organize the classes, Walter has asked that anyone who would be interested in leading a class or program should email her directly at lwalter@milfordohio.org.

Leadership class focuses on closing skills gap By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

UNION TWP. - Despite high unemployment rates, businesses are struggling to find the skilled workers they need. Finding a way to close the gap between the skills taught in schools and the skills needed for a 21st century work force was the challenge taken up by the 23 members of the LEAD Clermont Class of 2011. LEAD Clermont is a program sponsored by Clermont 20/20 to enhance the development of future leaders. Class members spent the past year researching their project for presentation May 12 just before the graduation ceremony at Receptions Eastgate. The class found the recession

has accelerated a long-term decline in middle-skilled, middlewage jobs, said Bob Pautke of SOAR Consultancy, a 2011 class member who presented the project results. A lack of the needed skills is what was holding many people back, he said. The class conducted a survey of 98 Clermont County employers to find out what attributes were the most important when seeking workers. The top three attributes were critical thinking/problem solving, professionalism/work ethic and ethics. When the employers were asked what job applicants lacked, the most common answers were professionalism/work ethic, critical thinking/problem solving and written communications skills.

When asked what skills would be most important in the future, the top answers were critical thinking/problem solving, professionalism/work ethic and information technology application. Pautke said the group concluded education must move from traditional institutions to a more networked approach to learning. “The current world is way more networked,” he said. He said a collaborate approach is the best solution to the problem. “The recession gives the perfect example. With limited resources, we have to figure out how to share resources,” Pautke said. Leadership in the community also is important. “We need a maestro to put the experts together,” he said. Pautke said his class would pass the study results on to the

2012 LEAD Clermont class, so they can continue the work. “We offer ourselves as mentors to the next class,” he said. Batavia schools Superintendent Jill Grubb, a member of the audience for the presentation, said she thought teachers needed more experience in the business world. She said teachers often go right from the classroom as a student to the classroom as a teacher. High school graduates have “a huge need for collaboration, problem solving skills and communication,” she said. Milford schools Superintendent Robert Farrell said it was important for students to see a purpose to their learning. Learning also must be linked to real life, he said. “Kids will master it if we make it real,” Farrell said.

Clermont 20/20 to realign programs In an unprecedented community development move, Clermont 20/20, the Clermont Chamber of Commerce and UC Clermont College, have announced a major realignment of Clermont 20/20’s LEAD Clermont Community Leadership program and Clermont Educational Opportunities College Access program. The LEAD Clermont program will be delivered under a new community development nonprofit organization of the Clermont Chamber, and UC East will be the new home for Clermont Educa-

tional Opportunities’ College Access program. The transition of the programs from Clermont 20/20 will become effective June 30. In the joint announcement, Chamber President Matt Van Sant said, “LEAD Clermont is an important part of having strong community leadership across all sectors in the county and the region. LEAD Clermont has had a positive impact on the growth and development of Clermont County. There are many LEAD alumni serving as volun-

teers, professionals and managers on boards, committees and leading community organizations. The LEAD Clermont legacy is about team building, collaboration and creating community-wide leadership. The Clermont Chamber is happy to become the service provider for the LEAD Clermont program.” The essential focus of LEAD Clermont will continue to be a “neutral platform where leaders from all sectors” can interact with one another to learn more about the economic and commu-

nity development needs of Clermont County. Clermont 20/20 Board Chair Kurt Kiessling said, “The 20/20 board is extremely pleased that we have been able to rely on strong community partners and find new solutions for delivering important community development services. LEAD Clermont and Clermont Educational Opportunities have become part of Clermont County’s history and have helped shape Clermont’s quality of life. Both programs have made a significant impact on the lives of people in our community.” Clermont 20/20 began considering organizational changes as the economy affected corporate and funding partners’ ability to participate in leadership programs and community development initiatives. “What we’re most proud of in this period of transition is the work that’s been accomplished by collaborating with the Chamber and UC Clermont College. We appreciate the genuine effort and leadership at all levels that has come together to continue a legacy that’s been well deserved,” Kiessling said. UC Clermont College Dean Dr. Gregory Sojka said he was pleased to have Clermont Educational Opportunities (CEO) bring its college access program to UC East. “Helping students find access to higher education is an interest that UC Clermont College and Clermont Educational Opportunities share for the community,” Sojka said. “We’re happy to provide a location for CEO to continue its work with students.” Applications are being accepted the LEAD Clermont Class on 2012.

Milford officer attacked, man arrested Community Press Staff Report MIAMI TWP. - An off-duty Milford police officer was attacked when he stopped to help a pedestrian along Ohio 28 Sunday, June 12. Officer Adam Yeary was injured when Noah Schardt of Cincinnati flagged him down saying he needed help, said Miami Township Police Chief Steve Bailey. Once Yeary stopped, Schardt jumped through the open passenger side window of Yeary’s truck and tried to get his off-duty gun out of the holster on the officer’s belt, Bailey said. Schardt then punched and bit Yeary several times. Yeary was treated for his injuries and released. He was back at work today, Bailey said. According to police, Schardt was with a friend at the International House of

Pancakes on Ohio 28 and jumped out of his friend’s car after the pair left the restaurant. Schardt then began trying to flag down motorists. Another motorist, Mark Cates, saw the altercation and stopped to help Yeary. Cates pulled Schardt off of the officer as Miami Township Police Officer Staci Miller arrived at the scene and arrested Schardt, Bailey said. Schardt was then taken to Mercy Hospital Clermont for examination, but Bailey said police are not sure if he was suffering a mental illness or was under the influence of a chemical substance. He was charged with felonious assault on a police officer and aggravated robbery. “The second charge comes from Schardt’s attempt to steal the police officer’s firearm,” Bailey said.

First step taken to place senior levy on ballot By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

BATAVIA - The Clermont County commissioners June 8 took the first step to place a senior services levy on the Nov. 8 ballot. The commissioners asked the county auditor to certify the dollar amount that would be generated by a 1.3-mill renewal levy. Once that is done, the commissioners will take another vote to actually place the issue on the ballot, said Administrator David Spinney. The levy will not result in any additional money collected. The current senior services levy, which is 1.3 mills,

will expire at the end of 2011 and costs homeowners about $33 per year per $100,000 of home value, said George Brown, Clermont Senior Services executive director. If passed, the new levy would cost the same amount and would be in place from 2012 to 2016. The levy funds Clermont Senior Services, which provides adult day services, Meals-on-Wheels, transportation for seniors and inhome care. The organization also has built six senior housing facilities and is working on the seventh, but no senior services levy dollars are spent on the construction or operation of these facilities.

County begins 2012 budget process By John Seney

Start finding answers.

Clermont County Administrator David Spinney noted the study showed a discrepancy between what businesses want now in employees and what they want in the future. “We are focusing on getting jobs for people now. We don’t focus on the future,” he said. County Commissioner Ed Humphrey said the county should be focusing on getting more highend, well-paying jobs. Jeff Weber, executive director of Workforce One, said his agency is trying to help young people get exposure to new career paths. Michael Goede, an employee of TATA Consultancy Services and a member of the 2011 LEAD Clermont class, said his company brings in young people for special programs to introduce them to what happens in an informative technology company.

BATAVIA - County officials are beginning the process for drawing up a budget for 2012. Administrator David Spinney May 4 told the commissioners the county was required by Ohio law to have a tax budget adopted by July 15. He said the tax budget was a compilation of budget requests by department heads and elected officials, and not the same as the final appropriations that will

be adopted in the fall. If the budget requests are higher than projected revenues it does not mean the county is facing a deficit, Spinney said. He said the requests can exceed revenue in the tax budget as long as there are sufficient funds in the county’s reserve funds. “We use this as a kickoff for the budget process,” he said. “We like to know what the departments feel they need to do the job properly.” Budget packets were to be distributed to department heads and elected officials

May 6. They were to be returned by May 20. The county office of management and budget will then prepare the tax budget for a public hearing and presentation to the commissioners June 22. The commissioners would have until July 15 to adopt the plan. Budget Director Sukie Scheetz said the figures in the tax budget can be adjusted to match revenues between July and when the final appropriations plan is adopted in the fall. “This is the first step for 2012,” she said.

Milford continues gender study By Mary Dannemiller

mdannemiller@communitypress.com

MILFORD - After two years of meetings, research and data analysis, the Milford Gender Data Committee presented its findings to the board of education April 28. The committee, which is comprised of teachers, principals and administrators, found differences between the way boys and girls learn and hope to help other teachers accommodate both learning styles. “There are brain-based differences with gender and we’re trying to share the research with teachers,” said Director of Secondary Curriculum and Instruction Nancy House. “That is our number one priority and that is part of

the district’s overall focus on improving instruction. We’ve learned a great deal through our research.” Committee members did find several differences between male and female students in the district, including that more girls than boys are taking Advanced Placement classes, but boys and girls performed similarly on state tests. “I go back to my days as a teacher and there are things I would’ve done differently to help some of the boys in my class stay organized and we’re hoping as we learn more, those are the things we’re going to share with our teachers,” House said. Milford Board of Education member Gary Knepp, who first presented the idea of exploring the

differences in how boys and girls learn at a board meeting in 2008, said he’s happy with the progress the committee has made. “I’m very pleased with the progress,” he said. “Once the research was forthcoming with our data and data research we studied from other schools and professionals in the field, the faculty and administrations saw that this was a valid approach and believe it will help student achievement. That’s very gratifying to me.” Meadowview Elementary School Principal Rob Dunn is on the committee and said one of the group’s goals is to have teachers consider gender in their lesson plans the same way they would if a student is gifted or has a special

need. “When we’re trying to meet the needs of a child, we focus so much on if they’re gifted or learning disabled and if the delivery method based on those issues meets the needs of the kids,” he said. “We look at gender and that has a whole lot to offer, too. There’s very clear information that says boys and girls learn differently and male and female teachers even deliver information differently.” The committee also recommended the district offer a voluntary pilot program with single gender physical education classes, but offering other single gender classes is not expected to happen soon, House said. “If we were ever to look at any

single-gender classrooms, it would be voluntary, but that’s not in the immediate plan,” she said. “There’s still that gap of achievement between boys and girls and we’re trying to close that gap so we would look at if (single-gender classes) increased student participation and achievement.” Superintendent Bob Farrell said he was impressed with the committee’s work and is looking forward to seeing where the project will go in the future. “I am excited about it,” he said. “The committee was very open to looking at the results with an open mind, people didn’t come in with a set way of looking at the issue. We want to look at the information and think about what we can do differently.”

Milford teacher to study in Belize this summer A Milford educator has been selected to participate this summer in global graduate program that focuses on studying conservation and marine ecology in the Central American country of Belize. In July, Milford Junior High School educator Raylene Gerber of Milford will study in Belize with a group of 20 educators, where they will explore diverse terrestrial,

coastal and coral reef communities at the Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center, Gales Point and Tobacco Caye. While there, they will join local scientists investigating conservation programs for such species as harpy eagles and jaguars, and they will explore manatee population dynamics within Belize’s rich coastal environment with members of the

Wildlife Trust. This year Gerber is one of more than 350 U.S. and international educators and graduate students selected to travel with the program from Miami University’s Project Dragonfly. The program builds on Earth Expeditions, a partnership between Project Dragonfly, Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Gardens, and partner institutions worldwide. PROVIDED

Staff reporters needed for Milford schools Summer Newspaper Program Are you a Milford schools student who likes to write, take photos and create comics? Then join the Summer Newspaper Program. The Seipelt PTA again will sponsor a summer newspaper for students who will be in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. Over eight weeks, students will create their very own electronic newspaper that will be distributed by the Milford school district and the Community Press. Students will learn the basics of news, feature and editorial writing in a fun, casual setting. The program is based on the

successful sixth-grade newspaper extracurricular program that runs in five of Milford’s elementaries. Class will be led by Milford graduate/college student Cody Schultz, who taught the sixth-grade program this year. With vacations and other summer activities, it is OK if your child cannot be there every week. Simply the interest in participating and a commitment to complete the stories a child chooses are all that is needed to be on the staff. Last year’s summer newspaper class was able to write fun and interesting stories about: • The Zach Strief Football

Camp, including an interview with Zach. • A behind-the-scenes tour of the new high school additions. • Sugar Cupcakery’s participation in the national TV show Cupcake Wars. • Summer camps and pools ... and much more. The staff will meet from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Mondays, June 20 to Aug. 8, in the Milford High School computer lab. The cost is $50. To register, contact Andrea Brady, volunteer advisor, at 8310378 or email andrea@ andreabrady.net. Space is limited to 25 students.

Anyone who knows me will tell you I’m a straight up guy. I’ve held off commenting on the erectile dysfunction controversy until I was able to really do my homework. Well the results are in. ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION IS A FACT OF LIFE Whether it occurs due to an accident, a recent surgery (prostate cancer is a biggie) or simply a natural change due to aging, the accompanying loss of self-esteem is something that affects millions of men everyday. In a nutshell that seems to be the problem (nobody want to admit that every man’s ED problem is different and requires different treatment.) WHAT COLOR IS YOUR FAVORITE PILL? Drug companies have jumped all over this like a, well...a drug company. I don’t have to say the names of the pills. We’ve all seen the ads. They’ve spent millions trying to convince you that one pill ﬁts all... When in actuality they fail over 50% of the time. That’s just a fact.

The only approach that makes sense comes from a Company called Ohio Male Clinic. There’s one here in Woodbury. The Ohio Male Clinic specializes in ED. That’s it. That’s all they do. They seem to be the only ones who realize that ED affects every man differently. They have uniquely (and very successfully) combined 4 medically approved ingredients for ED into over 150 different formulations. These ingredients make “it” start happening immediately for over 95% of men (compare that statistic to those of the well known pills). In fact, the Ohio Male Clinic offers one simple promise. “If they can’t make “it” start happening on the ﬁrst visit, you pay a cent.” That’s their guarantee. REGARDLESS OF YOUR AGE Regardless of your medical history... the Ohio Male Clinic have satisﬁed patients from 21 to 95. If you suffer from ED you should call Ohio Male Clinic today at (513) 791-MALE.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Same old taxing song

Just read the headline “New school levy coming in 2012” (June 1 Milford-Miami Advertiser). Everyone knew it was coming the day we voted on the last one. My answer is still the same – a big “no.” Just like the school board I will have to be making cuts, and my future income, just like the schools, is going to be reduced. Because of the federal government, I’m not sure about health care. The ruling party only wants

to raise taxes, everyone has their hand out. So my advice to the levy committee is to start getting all the threats about cuts and all that the kids are going to lose out now, so the public can be properly scared. The good times are over and it is time that everyone realize it. Please don’t tell me the kids are the future, I heard that in the 1980s and look where it has gotten us. Tom Schuerman Miami Township

CH@TROOM Last week’s question

Do you believe cell phones are possible cancer-causing agents, putting them in the same category as the pesticide DDT? “Short answer: no. There are documented cases for DDT. So far I have not seen one case of cancer directly related to cell phone usage. “This ‘study’ seems to get brought up every five to 10 years. Maybe Ma Bell is trying to fight the competition?” J.K. “This is a recurring question from the 1980s. There was a lot of scientific study years ago. There was litigation over it as well. “The weight of the evidence is that there is plenty of science that supports no connection. With every disputed issue you will have naysayers. This is not a new issue. “I think it is significant that several decades have passed sine the initial question was raised. Why again, now? “Some scientist writes an article and goes on the lecture circuit. Money encourages folks to recirculate issues for profit. “My take? It would take a lot of RF (radio frequency) power to cause harm. “We are surrounded by RF energy from microwave ovens and other devices. How about routers that are used with computers ? They put out RF energy too.” J.S.D.

Wear your seat belt, don’t smoke, drink less alcohol, work toward a healthy weight, eat more healthy food, and use sunscreen. “Worry about the things that will kill you today, not the ones that have little or no scientific evidence to support the threat.” F.S.D.

“I completely feel that cell phones will and do have a large impact on our brain. How could they not? “The high frequency that they operate at going up against our our electric center and soft tissues it is only a matter of time before cellular change occurs. “I would not put it in the same category as a pesticide however. They are completely different forms of pathogens.” Gretchen F.

“Every so often, some story like the possibility that cell phones can cause cancer will arise, and it will gather believers around it. Such things are often referred to as ‘glurges’ or ‘urban myths.’ DDT, like Agent Orange, was shown to be very dangerous, and as we got more sophisticated in our use of chemicals we have become smarter in what we use and how we use it. “But to me, the notion that cell phones can cause cancer is simply ridiculous. “It might cause auto accidents when people talk on them while they are driving, and that is a serious thing. But cancer? I don’t think so. “I am, however, amazed at the addiction of young people (and some ancients) to cellphones, texting, tweeting, Facebook, etc. How things have changed since I was a boy!” Bill B.

Golf tourney helps Senior Services

Howdy folks, Last Thursday, Ruth Ann and I went to Stonelick Hills Golf Course for the Clermont Senior Services golf scramble. We watched the 17th hole to see whether anyone got a hole in one. No one did. This event is a way to help raise money for Meals on Wheels, home repairs and other services that Senior Services do. It is a wonderful service for folks so they can stay in their own home. I have been on the board of Senior Services for several years. The time spent in meetings and the travel time is so well spent. When my Mother was living in her home, she got the meals delivered to her each day and she sure enjoyed the meals and the folks that delivered them. The volunteers for the different services are so special and need to be thanked. The Ole Fisherman and wife say God Bless all of you and thanks. The Faith United Methodist Church in Batavia will have their free community meal Saturday, June 18. They call it the Kitchen of Faith. They sure do a wonderful service to the community. As does Bethel United Methodist Church’s Kitchen of Hope each Saturday. The serving time is from 11 a.m. til 1 p.m. so stop and enjoy the food and fellowship. If you are having a bad day, after you attend this meal and the fellowship you will be so

blessed. Folks, I wrote about the Faith Tabernacle Church for the kids. These folks feel they need to do something for the needy kids for Christmas. This is a special purpose. At Christmas a child should have a gift from a special group like these folks. So if you want to donate to this worthy cause the telephone number to call is 6595801. This is Faith Tabernacles for the Kids Christmas ministry. They have a “Santa’s” wish list you can get, so you have different clothing sizes and other items. Last Saturday evening at the Monroe Grange Card Party at Nicholsville. I got as a winning gift a book written by George Burns. I have read some of it and if you ever watched George and Gracie Burns, it is wonderful. We attended a funeral last week for Vincent Leon Kellum at the Goshen Tufts Schildmeyer Family Funeral Home. This feller was sure loved by all. He and his wife were members of the Old Bethel M.E. Church Historical Society here at East Fork. They were always willing to help any way they could. The laugh and smiles of Vincent will be missed. His wife Phyllis is the vice president of the society and always had the solution to any problem. She is a very loving person.

George Rooks Ole Fisherman

Last Monday evening the Bethel Lions Club held their annual picnic at the Burke Park. This was installation of the officers for the coming year. The guest for the evening was John Tolos. He is the elected district governor as of July 1 for the Lions Clubs of District 13. The club was honored to have John install the officers and he also enjoyed the good food the Lions Club ladies furnished. The picnic was held in the Burke Park Shelter house. It was built by the W.P.A. workers. That gives the shelter house some braggin’ rights. The Bethel Park Committee sure do a good job of keeping it in good condition. The fishing is good according to Mike at the Boar’s Head Bait shop in Afton. The crappie, bass, catfish, stripers and the fish we like - the bluegills - are all biting good. The average size this year in the crappie tournaments is between 9 and 10 inches. The last crappie tournament, the winning weight was 5 pounds, with six crappie. The bass tournament was 15 pounds with six bass. Start your week by going to the church of your choice and praise the Good Lord. 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.

Have fun, eat healthy, live your life It’s all over the news: We’re an unhealthy, obese nation. Childhood obesity has tripled in the past 30 years, and 30 percent of the citizens of nine states are overweight. With movies like Supersize Me circulating, we are aware of this; what to do? Did you know that there are more than 160,000 fast food restaurants in the USA alone? Here in Milford, we have 37, but in Cincinnati proper we have over 530 of these chains serving greasy food. But our eating habits aren’t the only problem. Kids spend on average four hours a day glued to the TV. The average American consumes 50 gallons of soda a year. FOX NEWS explains each 20-ounce bottle is like eating 16 teaspoons of sugar. Just one a day will make you gain 15 pounds a year. If a child will eat sugar, he may be hyper for a half hour or so, but will crash and be grumpy for the rest of the day. According to Got Milk?, nine out of 10 people aren’t getting enough nutrition in their diets. So, what are we to do? Well, consider going to the park with your family. Play catch, soccer or some other fun activity. It’s fun, it’s free, it’s a great way to bond and you get some exercise. Eat as

According to www.sixwise.com, the benefits of eating with your family are: • Overwhelmingly better nutrition. • Kids do better in school. • Check-in time with the family, where the kids can express their concerns. • They are three times less likely to use marijuana. Serve different ethnic meals. Have a Greek noodle night, a Cape Cod fish night, etc. Instead of soda, fruit smoothies. They can taste like a healthy milkshake. Included is a recipe for these delicious snacks. Instead of that apple candy, try the actual, sweet, crunchy thing. Sign your kids up

Ten characteristics of a good father not mean being able to do everything and anything we want, but everything we ought. Setting limits produces disciplined and mature offspring. Paradoxically, children seek parameters. Some fathers think they show love for their children by permitting them to do whatever they want. Children’s natural intuition is wiser. Though they gripe about rules, children unconsciously want them. Prudent rules imply parents care enough and love them. No rules imply “You’re a bother to my life, I don’t care what happens to you.” 7. Use praise more than criticism. Punishment is to stop bad behavior, praise is to reinforce and encourage good behavior. Humans never tire of being appreciated. 8. Play together. Spontaneity, games, laughter and recreation create strong bonds and happy memories.

Four graduate from Thomas A. Wildey School Community Press Staff Report BATAVIA - Friends and families gathered at the Thomas A. Wildey School May 26 to recognize the accomplishments of the Class of 2011. Kevin Kotzbauer of Williamsburg, Maxwell Schaible of Hillsboro, Mickey Winkelman of Milford and Delbert Witt of Goshen were this year’s graduates. The Honorable Judge Kathleen Rodenberg was in attendance, as well as Ohio State Rep. Joe Uecker who presented the students with commendations from the Ohio House of Representa-

tives and congratulated them on their success. Senator Tom Niehaus sent commendations from the Ohio Senate for each student, recognizing their outstanding efforts and triumphs during their school years. The Donald A. Collins Achievement Award was presented to Delbert Witt for his school accomplishments, extracurricular activities and service to his community. Collins is a former superintendent of the Clermont Developmental Disabilities program and presents this award each year to the Wildey School student

who has gone above and beyond to make Clermont County a better place in which to live. Carla Tobergte, speech pathologist at Wildey and a member of the Clermont County Special Education Association, presented each student with a gift on behalf of the association and wished them much success in the coming years.

They even keep aging dads young at heart. 9. Keep your job in a healthy perspective. The two most important aspects of our lives are the work we do and the love we share. In our day, work-time, money and success are overvalued, and love for children and spouse is risked or undervalued. Keep your priorities straight. 10. Demonstrate what it means to be a man. Primitive-type men repress their emotions (except anger). They consider it unmanly to cry and grieve over significant losses, to act or speak sensitively and be compassionate as well as

firm. Good fathers can take responsibility without arrogance or selfishness. They can even look at their role in family life as serving the people they love.

Recalling what his deceased father meant to him as a kid, an old man’s eyes glistened as he said, “When my dad entered the room, the whole world made sense.” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

must be the path being traveled by dad and mom. 5. Acknowledge by your words and actions that you believe God exists. In days of yore, a false machismo boasted that “religion is only for women and children.” A more realistic and intelligent contemporary attitude says, “Spirituality is an important part of everyone’s life.” Though sports, entertainment, and sexual beauty may add zest and interest to many a man’s life, a good father does not permit these to stand out as contemporary gods. Father Richard Rohr writes, “The most loving men I have met, the most generous to society and to life, are usually men who also have a lusty sense of life, beauty, pleasure and sex – but they have very realistic expectations of them.” 6. Set parameters. Most people mistake license for freedom. Freedom does

1. Show your children what real love is. The best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. Children learn what real love is not from movies or TV scripts, but by modeling – seeing it lived out before their eyes. Growing up in an atmosphere of genuine love teaches kids to feel secure and learn how to love. Love is demonstrated not only in signs of affection and sensitivity, but also in our ability to forgive and sacrifice for the ones we love. 2. Respect. A child’s personal self must not be suffocated or utterly dominated by another, especially by a trusted parent.

“ This new valve can save lives

IN INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY NOT OTHERWISE BE GIVEN

THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SURGICAL VALVE REPLACEMENT.” DR. DEAN KEREIAKES, PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR FOR THE PARTNER II TRIAL OF TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT AT THE CHRIST HOSPITAL HEART AND VASCULAR CENTER

Cardiologists with The Christ Hospital Are First in Greater Cincinnati Region to Perform Heart Valve Replacement without Open Heart Surgery Aortic stenosis (AS) results from the hardening or narrowing of the aortic valve; AS obstructs the flow of oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. It is one of the two most common heart valve problems in the United States and ranks among the top five Medicare cardiac diagnoses. Patients with severe AS may experience chest pain, fatigue, shortness of breath, lightheadedness or fainting. Although AS typically progresses slowly without symptoms, once symptoms occur the prognosis is guarded and survival is limited.

Mark DeWitt, CABVI broadcast manager, poses with volunteer Angie Heiman of Milford.

Milford resident recognized for volunteer work Community Press Staff Report

The Cincinnati Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (CABVI) recently presented Angie Heiman of Milford with its Fibbe Award for her volunteer service to the agency’s Radio Reading Services. Radio Reading Services is a free service of CABVI that makes local and world news accessible to those who are print impaired via an around-the-clock WRRS broadcast signal, One on One Program matching personal readers with groups or individuals, and a Personalized Talking Print Service

(PTP) customized voicemail system. Heiman has been a volunteer since 1989. Every Tuesday WRRS listeners hear her voice providing them with up-to-date news from The Cincinnati Enquirer. Heiman also helps train new readers and is eager to work with substitutes when needed. PTP users enjoy hearing her share the comics and information from Nature Conservancy. “I really enjoy giving back. I feel good every time I go down to CABVI to read ... ,” said Heiman.

Treatment of AS has traditionally involved open heart surgical valve replacement, which has considerable morbidity and mortality in elderly, frail individuals with complicating medical issues. Now, physicians at The Carl and Edyth Lindner Center for Research and Education at The Christ Hospital are involved in a clinical research study (The PARTNER II Trial) using the Edwards SAPIEN XT valve. This allows doctors to replace the aortic valve without open heart surgery by using a catheter instead. The Christ Hospital is the only center between Atlanta, Georgia and Cleveland, Ohio to offer this novel, less invasive valve trial. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) provides a treatment option for patients with symptomatic AS who are not candidates for traditional valve replacement surgery. “Unfortunately, elderly patients with multiple medical problems may not survive traditional valve surgery,” says Dean Kereiakes, M.D., principal investigator in Cincinnati for The PARTNER II Trial and medical director at The Lindner Center for Research and Education and The Christ Hospital Heart and Vascular Center. “Our goal in joining The PARTNER II Trial is to provide a new treatment option and hope for these individuals.”

PATIENT STORIES “I couldn’t walk 20 feet without having to sit down. The day I had the procedure, I walked 25 feet and was fine. I’m Bill Whitt again.” William Whitt, 85, who suffered from AS and heart failure symptoms, had TAVR at The Christ Hospital on May 5, 2011.

John Metzger is 82. Because of a failing heart due to AS he had trouble breathing. Last September, recognizing his patient couldn’t wait until the new procedure was approved in Cincinnati, Dr. Kereiakes sent John to Cleveland for TAVR.

“Traveling was difficult and inconvenient for my family. Had this procedure been available in Cincinnati, I would have received it right here, at home.” John Metzger, a Cincinnati resident, had TAVR in Cleveland, in September 2010.

Green brings Kentucky Fresh to cooking world I love Maggie Green’s cookbook titled, aptly, The Kentucky Fresh Cookbook (The University Press of Kentucky, $29.95). Maggie, a Kentucky native, has stirred up a big batch of recipes which are destined to become family favorites. I have known Maggie for a long time, and even though she is a true celebrity on the culinary circuit, you’d never know that when meeting her. Maggie is a genuine person, not one to tell you her accomplishments, which include close professional and personal relationships with some of the icons of the food world, like Ethan and Susan Becker (Joy of Cooking) and Shirley Corriher (Cook Wise, Bake Wise). I first heard of Maggie through Cincinnati Magazine way back when. I spied her “Green Apron” ad there. For years, Maggie has offered personal chef, catering, editing and consulting

services. As a registered dietitian (she started out in college in engineering and did a complete turn to nutrition), Maggie’s passion is helping folks eat better. Her book takes you through a whole year of recipes. It’s an engaging read on its own. You’ll feel like you’re right next to her, helping dice the celery, knead the bread, all the while having fun and learning from an expert. This is one cookbook that I’ll be looking to when I need a fresh approach to old favorites, or a new recipe for a special occasion. I asked her to share a favorite for Father’s Day. She didn’t disappoint. Check out Maggie’s web page www.greenapron.com for interesting and timely tips.

Maggie Green’s flat iron steak with

brown sugar rub

“My favorite recipe. It’s a flavorful cut of steak that’s versatile and delicious on the grill with this rub,” Maggie told me. Makes eight servings A newer cut of meat to the market is a flat iron steak. This steak comes from a modified version of a top blade roast, a cut of beef from the shoulder of the cow. For years, butchers were faced with a problem-what to do with the blade roast-a relatively tender and beefy cut of meat but with a tough piece of connective tissue running down the center. Researchers from Nebraska devised a method of cutting the blade roast to remove the tough connective tissue, leaving a large, flat piece of beef from the “top” of the roast. This top blade steak (or flat iron steak) weighs about 2 pounds and is evenly thick. The steak resembles a tri-

angular-shaped iron, thus the name flat iron steak. This method resulted in the rising popularity of the flat iron steak, all from a humble cut which barely made it out of the back of the meat case. A simple brown sugar rub enhances this beefy tender flat iron steak. One 2-pound beef chuck flat iron steak 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper Lay the steak in a shallow baking dish. To prepare the rub: mix the brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper together. Evenly distribute half of the rub over the top of the steak and rub all over the surface of the meat.

In a few weeks, our lifelong learning centers are hosting a unique event Fashion With Passion. It’s a special fashion show with a twist. It’s the second year for this event. Last year’s event was sold out and a huge success. This one is even better. It will be held in the grand ballroom of the beautiful Norlyn Manor in Batavia. It’s an elegant setting for an elegant event. Guests enter through the marble tiled foyer with its stunning spiral staircase. In the ballroom, tables are set with elaborate centerpieces and the chairs are covered with black fabric and tied with ivory bows. The chef has a special menu planned, including a luscious chocolate mousse served in a champagne glass. Stacy Woolley, violinist with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, will play during lunch, adding to the exceptional elegance of the setting.
