Slippery slide

Nika Rulli of Miami Township speeds downs the Fun Slide. Miami Township’s third annual MidSummer at the Meadows festival was July 10 and July 11 at Miami Meadows Park. Festival-goers enjoyed food, rides, games and live music from a variety of bands. For more photos from the event, see Cincinnati.com/miamitownship. “From what I was able to observe it was very successful,” said Community Resources Director Cindy Huxel. “Saturday evening the rain came through early and then it was a beautiful evening.” Huxel also said Saturday’s fireworks were not affected by the rain and were on time.

Festivals heat up summer in Milford By Kellie Geist kgeist@communitypress.com

Many people are watching their pennies these days and, in Milford, there are plenty of inexpensive or free ways to be entertained. “I think Milford has a lot to offer and festivals are a way for people to come out and see all the different things Milford has, from the outdoor amenities to historic downtown,” said Pam Holbrook, assistant city manager. The events start with the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Festival, which will be Friday, Aug. 14, through Sunday, Aug. 16. The festival will include a family chicken dinner, bingo, a doll auc-

tion and raffles. There also will be live music and rides. During that same weekend, the Greater Milford Area Historical Society will present a vintage baseball game. The game will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 15, at the American Legion’s Riverside Ball Field at the corner of Water Street and Victor Stier Drive in historic downtown Milford. During the second weekend in September, Milford will be home to the Sunflower Revolution Ride and accompanying streetfest in historic downtown. The streetfest and VIP-tent event, presented by the Historic Milford Society in conjunction with the Sunflower Revolution Ride organizers, will be held all

day Saturday, Sept. 12. Event goers can enjoy live music, food and shopping. Because HMA combined Buskerfest with the Sunflower Streetfest, there also will buskers performing along the streets. The Sunflower Revolution Ride will be Sunday, Sept. 13. Also that weekend, the Greater Milford Area Historical Society will host it’s annual Art Affaire. The Art Affaire, a community art show and sale, will be the afternoon of Saturday, Sept. 12, on the lawn at the Promont House Museum, 906 Main St. Then, during Great Outdoor Weekend, Sept. 26 and Sept. 27, Junction Trails Fest will be set up on the American Legion grounds.

Junction Trails Fest is a celebration of the eight trails that cross in Milford. There will be vendors, travelers telling stories, live music and contests. Leading up to the Junction Trails Fest Saturday, Sept. 26, there will be a Go With The Flow canoe, kayak and paddle float from Kelley Nature Preserve to the festival. All funds raised will go toward breast cancer research. As the temperatures start to cool, the Greater Milford Area Historical Society will hold historic cemetery walks through Greenlawn Cemetery Saturday, Oct. 3. After the tours, a Victorian wake will be held at Promont House. Appropriate mourning attire is requested.

Camp Dennison once a training ground for Union soldiers By Amanda Hopkins ahokpins@communitypress.com

During the Civil War, Camp Dennison was a training camp and hospital for Union soldiers. The camp was just a short train ride from the city and was not far from both the Ohio and Little Miami Rivers. After the war, Camp Dennison was closed, but current resident Judy Havill said that materials used for the camp buildings were used by people in the area to build their homes, some of which still stand today. More people came to the area because of the ample farmland to build homes. Havill’s home was built

AMANDA HOPKINS/STAFF

From left Carol Sims, Judy Havill, Louise Elston and Frank Tingley are all residents of Camp Dennison in Symmes Township. They said the area, which was a training camp and hospital during the Civil War, is full of history and a good place to live. The framed photo shows the layout of Camp Dennison during the Civil War. right after the war in 1865 when the area’s name

changed to Grand Valley. Havill said the name never

stuck because the railroad company continued to use Camp Dennison as the name of the stop. The 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War will be recognized in 2011 but Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland issued an executive statewide directive to commemorate the anniversary. Havill, who is a member of the Camp Dennison Civic League, said most likely the Daughters of the American Revolution, who run the Waldschmidt House, would host some kind of event, which could include battle re-enactments or parades or give tours of the house or the adjacent Civil War Museum. Gary Hicks, a collector,

has contributed many buttons, belt buckles, bullets and other items from the Civil War era found in the area to the museum for their collection. Hicks still has many items from his own collection from different sites across the country. The Anderson Township resident is a retired rehabilitation counselor who has turned his love for archeology into a fun hobby, collecting various historical items, many from the Camp Dennison area. “It’s an adventure,” said Hicks. He said the most interesting item he has found is Ryder P.T. Remington Model

1859 pistol right in the Camp Dennison area. Only 1,000 of that model pistol were made. Havill and fellow residents Louise Elston, Frank Tingley and Carol Sims all agreed that Camp Dennison with all of its history and as it is today is a great place to live. “You feel a sense of history but it’s still a community,” said Havill. “It’s not like living in a museum.” Havill has lived in Camp Dennison for more than 30 years. Both Tingley and Elston have been residents for more than 50 years. “Once you live here, you settle, you don’t want to leave,” said Elston.

International cyclist takes a pit stop in Milford By Kellie Geist

town,” Barlow said. Barlow, 52, trained for just two weeks before hopping a plane to the states. Although he has been on challenging rides before, the bicyclist said riding in the states has been a journey of its own. During training, Barlow

Army Spec. Gregory J. Missman

War claims another hero Gregory J. Missman had served his country during a three-year stint in the Army in the 1990s. He left the service and returned to civilian life for 11 years. Last fall, the Pierce Township resident decided he wanted to get back in uniform again. He re-enlisted Veterans Day, Nov. 11. Missman, 36, died June 8 of wounds sustained while fighting in Afghanistan. Missman’s father, Jim Missman of Pierce Township, said his son “was very

In addition to his father, Greg Missman is survived by his mother Donna Missman Turner, 4-year-old son Jack Missman, brother Michael Missman, step-sister Dawn Puccini, and exwife Brooke Missman. Missman said the Army conducted a very dignified ceremony for Greg’s arrival back on U.S. soil at Dover. He said the Army assigned three people to accompany the Missman family, and “they couldn’t have been nicer.” “It was just overwhelm-

Greg Missman Jim said the cat is living at his home. “The cat will be taken care of, as will my grandson,” Jim Missman said. Missman said both he and his son were members of American Legion Post 72 in Union Township. Norman Nedeau, a member of the post, said he mostly knew Greg as Jim’s son. He said Jim is a longtime member of the post and past president. Nedeau said Jim Missman would come by the post almost every day. Occasionally he would come by with his son. He remembers Greg being very good with computers, even at a young age. “He was a pretty nice boy,” he said. Nedeau pointed out that Missman was the third member of the post to be killed in action in recent years. Members Matt Maupin and Mark Anthony “Tony” Wojciechowski were killed in Iraq. “We’ve been hit pretty hard out here,” he said.

Clermont County Commissioner Bob Proud, who works to bring veterans into the commissioners meetings to recognize them for his service, said, “All of Clermont County’s thoughts and prayers go out to the family. As a county, we stand ready to support Greg’s family in any way they need. We will never allow his service and sacrifice to be forgotten.” Proud is founder of the Whole in My Heart support group for the families and friends of men and women serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, “As president of the Amelia High School Alumni Association,” Proud said, “I want to express our deepest sympathy. We’re proud to have Greg as one of ours.” Volunteers of the Yellow Ribbon Support Center started hanging new yellow ribbons across Pierce and Union townships Thursday, July 9, Proud said. Also, he is asking those with flags to fly them at half-staff in honor of Greg.

He said he was very good with computers. “I don’t know who I’m going to get to fix my computer,” the father said. Greg left for Afghanistan June 5.

Tod, who originally studied pre-medicine in college, but couldn’t afford to go to medical school, earned his teaching certificate. He took a job as a biology and physics teacher at a high school in Canton, Ohio. When Tod, 94, and Jane, 93, retired in the late-seventies, they decided they wanted to travel. The two took an African safari, traveled to Europe a dozen times and visited Australia. They also did some traveling in the states to places like Hawaii and Alaska. But of all the places they’ve seen, the Heckaman’s favorite places to be are the Alpine Mountains in Switzerland and Yellowstone National Park, where the family lived during the five summers Tod spent as a

State Rep. Danny R. Bubp (R-88th District) this week introduced legislation that defends and expands the rights of Ohioans to protect themselves through concealed carry laws. Current law prohibits individuals with a concealed carry license from carrying in a restaurant where liquor is served. House Bill 203, sponsored by Reps. Bubp and Jarrod Martin (R-Beavercreek), adds restaurants to the exist-

ing exemption that covers class D retail stores provided that the concealed carry licensee is not consuming liquor or under the influence. The legislation specifies that it is a felony for a licensee to consume alcohol in a restaurant while carrying. All of Ohio’s neighboring states allow some form of concealed carry in restaurants. Across the country, 40 states have provisions for carrying in a restaurant and three states are considering legislation to loosen restrictions.

But they really loved each other and were willing to do things like that,” David Heckaman said. The couple moved to Milford from Canton about 10 years ago to be closer to their son. They now live at Sem Laurels. “They still really love each other and take care of each other after all these years. It’s neat to see them joke with each other.

Jane and Tod Heckaman have been married twice, but it’s not what you might think. “We were worried that she might not be able to keep her job if she was married, so we eloped and didn’t tell anyone,” Tod said. The secret ceremony was July 19, 1939 and the two didn’t even tell their parents. “It’s wasn’t a hard secret to keep, we just went on like we did before,” Tod said. In August of the next year the two had an official church wedding. Now, almost 70 years after they were first married, Tod and Jane are getting ready to celebrate their (real) anniversary July 19. Tod and Jane went to high school together in Canton, Ohio and, after graduation, they started going

steady. They were together for six years before they eloped. “That was a long time to go together back then, but we had the Great Depression, so we didn’t have any money to get married,” Tod said. After the public church wedding the two had a daughter they named Susan. When Susan was just 6 months old, Tod was drafted to the Army. He served one year in the states and two years in the ChinaBurma-India theater. “I didn’t see my daughter again until she was 3 years old. Those were the only rocky years of our marriage,” Tod said. Also during the war, in 1941, Jane was featured in Life Magazine as a model for purchasing bonds. They’ve saved an original of the magazine for their children. After the war, Tod and

He said one of the biggest parts of 4-H continues to be the animal projects. “These kids have put in a lot of their time to take care of these animals and the county fair is kind of the super bowl for them,” Cangro said. “We appreciate the continued support and we hope everyone comes out to the fair.” The cost to get into the fair is $10 – parking, exhibits and grand-stand shows are free.

Milford grad awarded full UC scholarship

CNE teacher follows in footsteps of Galileo

Brad Theilman of Milford is one of seven incoming University of Cincinnati freshmen to receive a full, four-year $80,000 Cincinnatus Scholarship to pay for tuition, room and board, books and fees. The award follows a competition on UC’s campus that offered $18 million in different levels of scholarships. The 17-year-old valedictorian of Milford High School and National Merit Finalist will be joining the University Honors Program for academically-talented students and plans to major in the College of Engineering’s biomedical engineering program. “I chose biomedical engineering because it combines my interests in physics, math and biology. I want to study the human body the way that I see it – as the most complex machine ever,” Theilman says, adding that his ultimate goal is to one day become an astronaut. Theilman is also talented in music and was section leader of the saxophones in Milford’s marching band. He participated in concert, jazz and symphonic bands, too. His high school leadership in science pursuits included serving

Laura Carlier has always enjoyed looking up at the night sky. “It’s so huge, vast and mysterious,” said the Clermont Northeastern Middle School science teacher. Carlier is getting a better look at the stars and planets this summer thanks to her participation in a program by the Cincinnati Observatory. In honor of the 400th anniversary of Galileo’s first scientific use of the telescope and the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, the observatory is awarding 40 quality telescopes to 40 individuals in the hope they will become astronomy ambassadors. Craig Niemi, executive director of the Observatory, said 120 people from Greater Cincinnati applied for the 40 Galileos program. Carlier, a Stonelick Township resident, was one of the 40 chosen. If she completes training and conducts two public programs with a borrowed telescope by the end of the summer, she will get one of the telescopes to keep. Niemi said the telescopes are high-quality 8-inch telescopes worth about $400 each. Money for the program has come from donations to the observatory. Carlier, who said she is on track to complete the requirements, hopes to share her knowledge by starting an astronomy club this fall at the middle school. She expects the club to grow as her middle school students move on to high school. She sees the program eventual-

Heather Powell, principal at the middle school, sees Carlier’s participation in the program as a good thing for the school. Powell called Carlier “a great teacher” who is always “helping to make Clermont Northeastern a better school.” Carlier said she has no advanced degree in astronomy, just a few basic undergraduate courses. But she has always been interested in the heavens. “I’ve always enjoyed the constellations and teaching about the stars,” she said. At one point, she wanted to be an astronaut, and later this sum-

mer she hopes to see a shuttle launch while on vacation in Florida. She is getting a lot of good practice on the borrowed telescope, which she said is easy to use. It’s a pretty good telescope for beginners, she said. Niemi said the 40 Galileos program was an outgrowth of the observatory’s efforts to get more people interested and involved in astronomy. He sees a ripple effect as the recipients of the telescopes spread their knowledge and enthusiasm. The observatory has received a NASA grant to give away 20 more telescopes a year for the next three years, he said.

as captain of the National Museum of the United States Air Force’s Team America Rocketry Challenge Team. The museum’s team Theilman placed in the nation’s top 50. Theilman was a member of the museum’s Lockheed-Martin Space Day Design Challenge Team, honored as the nation’s best. As president of his high school’s National Honor Society, Theilman organized many service projects, including free fall yard cleanups and a Halloween canned food drive. He also took part in a service trip to Costa Rica to protect sea turtles from poachers and other hazards and has shared his passion for science and conservation through volunteer outreach programs in elementary schools. “UC has many top-notch facilities that will afford me many opportunities in my field. Being a Cincinnati native, it was pleasing to find out what a gem of a university there is in my back yard,” Theilman said.

Goshen program seeks to create life-long readers By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

Goshen High School students this summer can earn extra credit toward their fall classes by doing a little extra reading. Principal Nancy Spears said the Summer Reading Program is a first for the school. The program is “across the board; every department, every program,” Spears said. Students just have to read one book for a specific class and then complete an assignment that is turned in at the beginning of the school year to earn up to three percent extra credit for the first quarter in that class. The reading list includes books for math, social studies, English, business, visual arts, music and science. The assignment for each subject includes four options. If the student completes three of the four options he or she gets the maximum three percent extra credit; for completing two of the options the student gets two percent; and for one option one percent. For example, for English, the options are: 1. What is your favorite part of the book and why? 2. What is your least

Doing lunch

When asked what’s best about third grade, students in Mary Pat Harris’ class mentioned eating lunch together outside. After lunch students focus on the animal and plant life cycles on school grounds. The field studies increase the kids interest in reading more about local flora/fauna and writing about these experiences is a natural next step. Students are provided daily opportunity to read nonfiction articles and books.

favorite part? 3. If fiction, write an alternative ending. 4. Discuss the overall theme. The program was developed by a team of Goshen teachers. “The goal is to create readers who will read 30 books a school year,” Spears said. Students don’t have to sign up for the program; they just need to read the books. Information about the program is being sent home with students and will be on the school Web site beginning in June. The Web site is www.goshenlocalschools.org. The reading lists include classic and current titles. Some of the books on the list are: “East of Eden,” by John Steinbeck; “Bleachers,” by John Grisham; “All Quiet on the Western Front,” by Erich Maria Remarque; and “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter,” by Carson McCullers. “We hope we are creating a generation of readers,” Spears said. Assistant Principal Beth Hensley said the program was important because students often lose so much information over the summer. “This creates an opportunity to read through the summer,” she said. “It encourages good reading skills.”

Miami Hills exceeds expectations Local swim club takes 2nd place By Anthony Amorini aamorini@communitypress.com

The always festive Seven Hills League Swim Championships evolved into a fight for first place between Milford/Miami Township’s Miami Hills Swim Club and Indian Hill Swim Club. Hundreds of children ages 618 competed in the event with groupings separated into five divisions for both boys and girls. After 78 events, Miami Hills finished just 77 points behind Indian Hill with 2,300.50 points to take second place. Indian Hill won its fourth-consecutive league title with its firstplace total of 2,377 points. “At one point in the meet we were in first place,” Miami Hills Swim Club pool manager Andy Wilson said. “We usually finish in fifth or sixth so second place was pretty cool for the kids. “The kids rallied together. It was a nice team environment,” Wilson added. Miami Hills took first place in a trio of age divisions including the 13-14 year old boys, the 15-18 year old girls and the 15-18 year old boys. In the 15-18 year old boys 200-meter freestyle relay, Miami Hills took first while setting a team record at 1:45.40. The relay included Matt D’Errico, Harry Snider, Connor Litmer and Beau Robinson. “There was some great competition between the teams this year,” Wilson said. “Everyone is

Last week’s question

This month marks the 40th anniversary of man’s first step on the moon. What do you remember about that event? Do you think the U.S. should return to the moon? Why or why not?

“Unless we clearly would benefit in someway, or it would advance our knowledge in someway, with the fact we do not have the funds. I would have to object to the increased federal spending, which is already out of control. “My hope is that someday both the Republican and Democrat parties will begin to control spending. Excessive taxation leads to destruction of our financial system. “I continue to hope & pray our local township, city and state officials will begin to lead in our objection and bring government back to sanity.” F.J.B. “I remember it like yesterday, I was 12 years old at summer camp in Green Lake, Wisc., we all gathered so excitedly around a very small black and white TV to watch the first step on the moon. The camp was so primitive I have no idea where they got the TV or power cords to hook it up, but it was such an important event the counselors made sure we all witnessed this. It gave our generation such bright hopes for the future. If a man could ‘walk on the moon’ we could do anything we dreamed to accomplish ourselves. For that wonderful experience, I will be forever grateful.” P.H.S. “I would hope that any return to the moon would be pursued

Where were you July 20, 1969? Where were you? I was sitting on the dusty floor of the rec hall at Camp Graham in Clarksville, Ohio, at 4-H camp July 20, 1969. Bob Sutton, our 4-H agent, set up a small black and white television for us to watch the first man walk on the moon. We were able to hear Neil Armstrong say: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” I remember we could barely hear anything. The kids in front, closest to the TV, were trying to repeat everything and Bob finally told us all to quiet down and just watch. I remember the day being very hot, but we all bunched around the TV to see the landing. I was 10. I was fascinated by space, which as I learned in later years, so was the rest of the country. Before going to camp, I asked Mom to save all the newspapers so I could read about it once I got home. I made a scrapbook with photos and articles. How did we know back then we would have something like the Internet to help us remember things like the first moon landing.

Theresa L. Herron Editor’s Notebook

Even though Al Gore may say d i f f e r e n t l y, things like space travel created the first computers that eventually evolved into what we use today and tools like the Internet. Google Apollo 11 and see how many

hits appear. I remember seeing my Mom cry when the Apollo 1 astronauts died on the launch pad in 1967. I remember the Apollo 13 flight, that is now the Tom Hanks movie. I couldn’t get enough of space and often thought about being the first girl on the moon. That would make it two for two as the first people being from Ohio. My brothers took rockets in 4H and we would shoot them off in the backyard shouting how it was going to go all the way to the moon. Then, Daddy, grinning, would just look at us and ask who

would be the first to find the rocket that landed somewhere in the field behind or in front of our house, depending on the wind that day. I’ve been fascinated by the space shuttle flights, too. I always remember when I started here at the paper. It was the day the Challenger blew up. But, I don’t think the kids today get the same thrill from the shuttle as we did as kids seeing men walk on the moon in those big bulky suits and all the talk about if their lines break they could just float away into space. It was thrilling. It was scary. It was neat. And then to see the parade when the astronauts returned was cool, too. Hey, and mostly on black and white televisions.

LEAD Clermont: ‘The Best Class Ever’ I was at another meeting today with a group discussing Clermont 20/20’s High School Mentoring Program when it happened again. About 10 minutes into the meeting someone made the comment about being in the LEAD Class of 2003, then another chimed in that she was a LEAD grad of the Class of 2008, another immediately commented that he too was a member of the LEAD Class of 2008, and two or three others, myself included, proudly stated our class year along with the standard “Yeah, the Best Class Ever!” Invariably when the statement of being a LEAD Clermont Grad is made, it is always followed quickly with pride with the comment “The Best Class Ever.” The connection of being a LEAD grad and part of “The Best Class Ever” is something that I’ve gotten more curious about. For example, when you add up all of the years the LEAD Clermont program has existed, Clermont 20/20 has produced more than 400 of the best class of lead-

ers for Clermont County and the region. I can’t honestly tell you what each of the Lead grads is up to these days but I can tell Andy you without McCreanor hesitation that I into them Community run everywhere. It’s Press guest a great feeling columnist as the executive director of the organization to see how many people are engaged in the community in so many ways. Whether its time someone can give or taking the lead on an initiative, LEAD grads are alive and well and doing good things for the community. When I think about it, it’s a Linked-In kind of thing. We’re a special group of people who can and should stay connected to each other as we march through our years of service to our professions and community service.

More importantly, we veteran leaders need to help the next generation of leaders find their footing so they can get in position to “take the reins.” This transition doesn’t happen quickly. It takes deliberate effort, financial resources, and often times, courage to keep the needle moving in the right direction. Without leadership the right direction is unlikely to be continuously developed. So I’m proud of the work Clermont 20/20 has accomplished in its first 19 years of service to Clermont County and look with optimism to the challenges that must be overcome in the years ahead. The track record of LEAD Clermont grads clearly indicate that not only will these challenges be met; ingenuity, initiative and innovation will reinforce the direction of our future. Thanks to those who have been and will be LEAD Clermont grads. Andy McCreanor is part of the LEAD Clermont Class of 1997, “The Best Class Ever.” He is the executive director of Clermont 20/20.

Dodos still recommend ‘everybody win’ Lewis Carroll, author of “The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland,” certainly understood politicians. We must not forget that members of Milford’s board of education are, at heart, political types: They want to be liked and appreciated; they want to feel like they have “contributed” toward improving the community; and, they want to be re-elected. There is no better way to win praise and secure a feeling of accomplishment than to do something “for the children.” Hence, the school board has decided to “level the playing field” for the kids in the competition for scholarships and other perks by lowering the grading scale. In Alice, a character called the Dodo suggests the “Caucus Race.” The Dodo marks out a course, sets everyone in place, and yells “Go!” The animal characters all run

Needless to say, Alice finds it all quite absurd. While Carroll was commenting on the absurdity of British politics, if a goal of “education” is to acquaint the young with the “real world,” then lowering grading standards is quite ridiculous. The joke: What does one call a brain surgeon who graduated

with a “C” average? Answer: A brain surgeon. But people with “C” averages don’t make it to medical school, and with good reason. The real world requires exactness, accuracy, attention to detail and diligence, attributes that it is hoped schools will assist parents in developing in kids. A surgeon cannot afford to be 90 percent correct. A pilot whose course is off by one degree may miss the airport by dozens of miles. A businessman who loses 5 percent of his inventory to shoplifting will soon be out of business.

From veterinary care to timely vaccinations—and clean and comfortable living conditions to plenty of fresh food and water—healthy, well-cared-for ﬂocks and herds are essential to livestock farming. That’s why it comes as no surprise that Ohio livestock farmers go above and beyond to make sure their animals receive the best possible care.

For an Ohio livestock farmer,

taking animal care seriously just makes sense.

For Ohio livestock farmers, caring for animals is not just a job…

it’s a way of life.

Whether it’s a refreshing fruit dip or a delicious pie, every family has that one dish they always bring to the family picnics and holiday parties. MomsLikeMe.com has pulled some of the Tristate’s tastiest dishes together for their Summer 2009 cookbook. Of the 63 recipes features in the cookbook, here are some favorites submitted by Clermont County moms. Denise Byrum of New Richmond submitted spaghetti salad as her favorite summer recipe.

As the only original member of the University Hospital Air Care Unit still in the sky, flight nurse Diana Deimling has dedicated the last 25 years of her life to saving lives. As part of the Air Care team, Deimling works hand-in-hand with the flight physician to stabilize patients and get them to treatment quickly. “It’s a very interesting, challenging job ... It’s important to bring a calm environment to wherever we go. To get there and to say, ‘It’s going to be OK,’” Deimling said. “A flight nurse is someone that can maintain their head while everything around them is chaotic.” In addition to her work in the sky, Deimling, 51, of Union Township, also spends time working with programs like EMS ridealongs and Air Care orientations. Her work in the sky and on the ground earned her the Florence Nightingale Awards for Excellence in Nursing, which was presented in April. Deimling was nominated by Dr. William Hinckley, flight physician and medical director. Deimling and Hinckley

have been on a number of challenging flights together. Deimling recalls one in Union Township where the Air Care team was able to save a mother and her unborn child after a car crash. “When she’s not flying, she’s constantly seeking out ways to make Air Care better,” Hinckley said. “It’s the combination of what she does when she’s flying to save lives and the work she does religiously during her down-time that makes her great.” Deimling said while she was “pleasantly surprised” by the award, she thinks any of the flight nurses could have won. Deimling always wanted to be a nurse. When she was young, she enjoyed caring for the family’s pets. Then, after receiving her nursing degree, she worked in the emergency room and the intensive care unit at University, which eventually led to her job as a flight nurse. “I’d never flown on a helicopter before, but I really liked roller coasters. It’s something you don’t know you’ll like until you try it,” Deimling said. Deimling met her husband, Union Township Fire Chief Stan Deimling, when she was called to transport a patient.

Death has no favorites – even celebrities die A lot of famous people have died recently and that bothers us. It bothers us because the fact of death bothers us terribly. In every life death anxiety is operative in great and small ways. Leavings and losings are not on our agenda. And the second reason we’re bothered over these recent deaths is because they have shattered our suppositions. We suppose that if a person has prestige, wealth, celebrity and popularity that those facts bring with them a certain degree of immortality. We suppose important people (presuming they are) have a charmed life and are too important to lose. Death is supposed to show them the same favoritism we do and back off. How unsettled we are when we

become aware that death plays no favorites. The day of our death is always thought of as far off. The day we come to know we will eventually die – not know it merely in our minds but realize it in our hearts – that day is the day we become a philosopher. Thereafter we pose momentous questions to ourselves and it takes the rest of our lives to answer them. It’s a sad occurrence when favored people never even let themselves get to the questions. Among the questions that arise are ones such as: How should I live knowing I will die some day? Why love anyone at all if they can be taken away from me, and I from them? Is it better to be cautious and avoid the risk of great love for someone in order to be safe from

the heartache of grief? Is there more life after this world’s life that is even more desirable, or is there only disinand Father Lou tegration dry nothingGuntzelman ness? Is there a God Perspectives who created me, loves me, and keeps me alive eternally? The alternative to struggling with questions such as these is to employ certain defenses against the questions ever arising. Hedonism says we can become impervious to death anxiety if we “eat, drink, and be merry.” Denial says, “Just don’t think about it and keep busy.” Agnostic practicality asks,

“Why try to live life wholeheartedly if it will all end?” Ernest Becker acknowledges this strange way of thinking: “The irony of man’s condition is that the deepest need is to be free of the anxiety of death and annihilation; but it is life itself which awakens it, and so we shrink from being fully alive.” Will it help us diminish death anxiety if we draw back from life, from deeply loving, from compassion and enjoyment and closeness to another person? The answer - like so many other answers – is another of life’s paradoxes. Knowing death will come for us some day is the very factor that makes it possible for us to live life now in an authentic fashion. For what is limited is precious, what is plentiful becomes cheap. Knowing our years are limited

urges us to appreciate their preciousness. Death – rather being only a cause of bleak pessimism – ought to be a catalyst to enjoy authentic life modes now. Poet Mary Oliver puts it well: When it’s over, I want to say: all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom taking the world into my arms. … I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Use cash instead of debit to avoid overdraft charges The nation’s banks continue to raise fees on everything from credit cards to checking accounts. Banks say they need the money to make up for losses they incur during this recession. But customers and consumer groups are crying foul. Banks have come under much criticism for making it easy for customers to spend more money than they have in their account so they can assess overdraft fees. People like Bridget Felts of Milford are furious. She received three overdraft charges recently and said it’s

not fair. “This was for a total of a negative $5.90, and they are charging me, Howard Ain with one Hey Howard! fee that w a s already taken off, $104 – for $5.90. I was just dumbfounded,” Felts said. Felts’ bank had agreed to drop one charge, but not the other two. “It’s a negative $5.90, from what they’re telling me

because, if you look at the statement, it shows I have money the whole time – it never went negative. But they keep saying, ‘It’s for pending. It’s for pending,’ ” she said. The “pending” charges are for two debit card purchases of less than $5 each. “We budget our biweekly checks to the penny so $104, that’s our grocery money, that’s our gas in our car. It’s devastating. I was literally begging these people to give me my money back,” Felts said. After several calls the bank agreed to return the

fees, but Felts said what happened is wrong. “The punishment should fit the crime. If there’s a negative $5.90 balance, $104 is absurd, it’s absolutely ridiculous … It’s not right. It can take months for families to recoup these losses,” Felts said. “I’m a family of five, every penny counts, and they’re just taking it like, ‘Oh, it’s no big deal,’ ” she said. As with others I’ve seen in this situation, most of the overdraft fees are caused by the use of a debit card. Instead of putting those

small charges on her debit card she could have paid cash, and Felts says she’s now learned her lesson. “Use cash. People need to start using cash more often,” she said. Felts said the government is enacting new credit card laws and should reevaluate what the banks are doing. The Federal Reserve is now deciding whether to crack down on automatic overdraft protection. A rule is expected later this year that would prevent banks from manipulating the order of checks and deb-

its so they maximize overdraft fees. Meanwhile, Congress is also listening to consumers and a proposal there would require banks to tell customers when they are at risk of incurring overdraft fees at an ATM machine or cash register so they can cancel the transaction.

Kids with egg, dairy allergy can still eat cake One of the most fun things about writing this column is the feedback I get from you. No matter where I am, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the grocery store, Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, teaching a class or speaking to a group, someone comes up and mentions my column. I have always believed t h a t â&#x20AC;&#x2122; s Rita b e c a u s e Heikenfeld this colRitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen umn isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just about food: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x153;placeâ&#x20AC;? where we gather each week and share recipes, memories, tips, opinions. A good example of this is Michelle Smith, a New Richmond reader, who requested an eggless cake for son Ethanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4th birthday. Clermont County reader Annie Hoffman, a cottage baker, came to the rescue. The bonus is the cake is dairy-free, too.

Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dairy-free, eggless chocolate cake

Annie says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids will love this cake.â&#x20AC;? Will make 26 cupcakes, a 9-by-13 pan, a 12-by-9 pan or even an 8-by-8 pan. Annie likes to use a 12by-9 pan or 8-by-8 square for thicker cake. Just adjust the baking time: 18 to 20 minutes for cupcakes; start testing cakes about 25 minutes. When toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overbake. Temperature: 350 degrees for all.

3 cups all purpose flour 2 cups sugar 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 â &#x201E;3 cup Canola (she uses Kroger) oil 2 cups water 2 tablespoons white/ clear vinegar 2 teaspoons vanilla Combine dry ingredients in one bowl. Combine wet

ingredients together in one bowl. Mix both together and beat until smooth. Pour into sprayed pan. Annie says cupcakes wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be very tall but will be very moist.

Dairy-free fluffy frosting

Use vegetable shortening, not Crisco or any shortening thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s non-hydrogenated (Annie says it slides off the cake due to formula change to make it non-hydrogenated â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK for cupcakes but will slide off sides of cake), so use Kroger or other store, generic brand that says vegetable shortening/hydrogenated. See my tip below. Use any flavor extract you like. 1

â &#x201E;2 cup vegetable shortening 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted 5 tablespoons water 1 â &#x201E;2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 â &#x201E;2 teaspoon almond extract (opt.) 1 â &#x201E;4 teaspoon butter flavoring (Wilton brand since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a

clear color) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; opt. Put everything in bowl. Mix on low to incorporate. Scrape, then turn on medium for eight minutes. This will incorporate air so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t skip this step â&#x20AC;&#x201C; otherwise youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wind up with sugary, not fluffy, frosting. Makes 4 cups. Refrigerates up to six weeks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; bring to room temp and rewhip on low. Chocolate: Start adding cocoa powder to taste, and, if necessary, a bit more water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Makes the fudgiest frosting.â&#x20AC;?

switch back to hydrogenated. Seems like most trouble is with pie crusts/frostings. I know, I know, hydrogenated shortening is not as healthy as non-hydrogenated but really, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not something any of us eat on a daily basis. Annie and I agree you should use what makes your recipes taste and look great. Otherwise, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wasting money, time and compromising flavor and appearance.

Trouble with shortening: If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced trouble with recipes using non-hydrogenated shortening (that makes it healthier),

For Mrs. Whitmer and several others. Go to taste on vinegar, sugar, lemon juice. 1

â &#x201E;3 cup sugar â &#x201E;2 teaspoon salt 1 â &#x201E;8 teaspoon pepper 1 â &#x201E;4 cup milk 1 â &#x201E;2 cup mayonnaise 1 â &#x201E;4 cup buttermilk 1 1 â &#x201E;2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar 21â &#x201E;2 tablespoons lemon juice 1

8 cups finely chopped cabbage 1 â &#x201E;4 cup grated carrots Whisk together sugar, salt, pepper, milk, mayo, buttermilk, vinegar and juice until smooth. Add cabbage and carrots and mix well. Refrigerate at least two hours before serving.

Milford-Miami Advertiser

Wife is now home from hospital

Howdy folks, Well, we lost another good friend to the Lord. This feller was a farmer and a hard worker. He also had a dairy of 40 cows. His wife went to heaven several years ago, so now Henry Stahl joins her. Their farm was next to ours as I was growing up and my brother and I sometimes helped them out. Last Tuesday Ruth Ann was feeling bad so we went to the emergency room at Mercy Hospital Anderson. After a chest cat scan they found she had blood clots in both lungs. After another test they found another one behind her left knee. The doctor seems to think the ones in her lungs came from the one behind her knee. She was admitted to the hospital and it seems they were short of blood, as they took samples from her about every two to three hours! Not really, I’m kidding about the shortage! She was also anemic so they gave her two units of blood and she perked up and had a better color in her face. She was in the hospital from Tuesday until Sunday. Her arms were in bad shape due to the blood being taken, but the ones who took it were very good. The nursing was won-

derful. These ladies were so helpful, caring and loving. On Saturday her blood thinGeorge ning count Rooks was 1.34 Ole and it had to at least 2 Fisherman be before she could be released. I was going to go to church Sunday morning, but I called her and said I was going to come on down to be with her. There were a lot of prayers going up for her. I got down to the hospital and the doctor came in around 10:45 and seemed to have a grin on his face, he said her blood count was 2.09 and she could go home. Boy I could have given him a big hug! So by 1:30 p.m. we were on our way to get a prescription filled and home. Now folks the first day when I left to come home without my gal, it was very hard leaving her there but it was a must. She is doing good. Thanks to the Good Lord and the doctors. Did you see the picture in the paper about the feller that caught the record grass carp in Kentucky. It

weighed 58 pounds. The feller had a time landing the fish. The fishing here at East Fork is good with some fine catches of crappie, catfish and bluegills and a few carp being caught. Now these carp will give a good fight. I didn’t forget about the bass, that takes another type of fishing to catch them. These bass fishermen have an arsenal of plugs to use. Every Tuesday evening here at East Fork there is a bass tournament and the weigh-in is around 9 p.m. at the Tate Ramp, so stop in and watch it. Also the Boar’s Head Bait Shop in Afton has crappie tournaments two Sundays a month. Their weighin is around 4 p.m. at the Afton side. The garden is starting to grow due to the drier weather. Thank God, some of the plants are not growing as good as they would if the sun was warmer, but they will gradually. We got a nice head of cabbage and some broccoli the other day. Start your week by going to the church of your choice and praise the Good Lord. God Bless All. George Rooks is a retired park ranger. Rooks served for 28 years with the last five as manager of East Fork State Park.

Somerset, Kentucky’s Premiere Inn Located Just Minutes from Lake Cumberland

There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…

The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.
