Miami Twp. officials buy land for fire station on Sugar Camp

By Keith BieryGolick kbierygolick@communitypress.com

MIAMI TWP. — The location of a new fire station in Miami Township has been set.

The township trustees approved a contract to purchase 1.12 acres of land on Sugar Camp Road near Ohio 131 at their regular July 16 meeting.

“It’s been a very lengthy process,” said Larry Fronk, township administrator. “We were negotiating the contract right up until 5 p.m. today.”

The township’s fire and ems have been working internally for the past two years to determine the best spot for a new station, Fronk said.

“This part of Miami Township has grown tremendously,” he said, citing the construction of Meadowview Elementary and Miami Meadows park as new additions. “We had an opportunity to purchase land at a location our data was telling us ... the station needs to be.”

Officials will use tax increment financing (TIF) funds to purchase the commerciallyzoned property for $275,000, said Joe Braun, township law director.

TIF funds also will be used to construct the new station,

Braun said.

“In addition to the purchasing property, we’ve planned for the future,” he said.

Even if adjacent property is Braun developed, the contract granted easements to allow for proper signage and changes to the Ohio 131 and Sugar Camp Road intersection, Braun Schultz said. A turn lane could be added to make it easier for trucks to come in and out of the station, he said.

“We don’t know when construction will occur,” Fronk said.

The trustees heard complaints about slow response times from a resident at their regular April 16 meeting.

“For the past few years, we’ve had residents claim it’s taken over 20 minutes (for you) to get there,” said Brad Duncan, a resident of White Gate Farm. “Personally, I called 911 for my son in 2010 and wasn’t satisfied with the response.”

White Gate Farm is located off Dry Run Road, about half a mile from Ohio 131.

Trustee Karl Schultz said 85 Fronk percent of the township’s budget goes toward safety services.

“I look forward to the future as we move into the (southeastern) area of the Whitworth township and help our citizens in that area,” Schultz said.

The department currently has three stations: 6492 Branch Hill Guinea Pike, 1154 U.S. 50 and 5888 McPicken Drive.

Fire Chief Jim Whitworth previously said the station on McPicken Drive services the White Gate Farm community, and also is the busiest station.

“While it will be some time before there is visible progress, rest assured that the project will improve response to the southeast area of the township,” Whitworth said in a press release.

Milford school board approves raises

By Keith BieryGolick kbierygolick@communitypress.com

MILFORD — The Milford board of education approved merit-based raises and cost-of-living raises at their regular July 18 meeting.

In total, the board approved $65,700 for raises, said Debbie Caudle, board treasurer.

That’s less than 1 percent of the district’s $59million budget for fiscal year 2014, she said.

Overall, 36 employees are eligible for raises.

The board approved a 2percent cost-of-living raise for classified and

confidential staff, said Bob Farrell, Milford superintendent.

The raises mostly apply to workers in the main office, Farrell said.

These employees aren’t part of a union and haven’t received the 1-percent pay increase other unionized staff has the past two years, he said.

“It doesn’t apply to teachers,” said Dave Yockey, school board president.

There are 14 classified staff members set to receive the raise, Caudle said.

That amounts to $13,000 divided among the staff, she said.

The board also approved a 2-percent meritbased raise for classified administrators.

Farrell said these raises will mainly go toward caf-

uted funds not to exceed $47,500.

“To be honest, we’ve had difficulty attracting administrators,” Farrell said.

Potential administrators often made more as teachers than they would as an administrator at Milford, he said.

“The performance of the district has been outstanding,” Farrell said.

“The administrators are the leaders who try to make this happen.”

Board member George Lucas said the approved raises still put the employees at average or below average compensation compared to other districts in the area.

“We have asked more and more of these people to do more and more,” Yockey said.

Miami Township officials prepare for health care reform

eteria supervisors and after school program supervisors.

“It’s important to note that this is not something that is automatic,” Yockey said. “It will be based on merit.”

Five classified administrators are eligible for the raise - and the board approved $5,200 to be divided between them, Caudle said.

The board approved another merit-based raise for administrators, such as principals, required to have a license, Farrell said.

“I took 3 percent of what the average administrator makes and that’s how I came up with the (raise),” he said.

The treasurer said 17 administrators are eligible for the raises, with distrib-

PHYSICAL FITNESS AWARD

MIAMI TWP. — All United States residents will be required to obtain a minimum level of health care coverage next year.

To prepare, Miami Township officials invited Brendan Murray, the senior vice president of Brower Insurance, to give a presentation about the impact of the Affordable Care Act at a recent work session.

Brower Insurance provides Miami Township with consultation, while their coverage is provided by Anthem, Murray

said.

“What I was looking for was to give trustees an idea about the changes,” said Larry Fronk, township administrator.

Murray said a lot of people are waiting for additional guidelines about health care reform.

“There’s still more questions than answers,” he said.

To bottom line the effects, Murray said there are two fees the township will need to account for in 2014: A research fee and a reinsurance fee.

The research fee will go toward a nonprofit corporation established by

the Affordable Care Act tasked with advancing evidence-based medicine, he said.

The reinsurance fee will go to offset the cost of offering coverage to previously uninsured people, some of whom might have pre-existing conditions, Murray said.

Those fees are estimated to be about $20,000 a year that the township has never paid before, he said.

“Miami Township is fully insured, so the fees will be included in Anthem’s rates,” Murray said. “Anthem will pay them directly.”

Fronk said the big unknown is what impact health care reform will have on the township’s rates.

Officials entered into a high-deductible plan six

years ago to keep those down, he said.

For the most part, it’s worked. But premiums can go up at any time, Fronk said.

“Listen, this law has been in effect since 2010.

If you ask what does health care reform cost the township, it’s more than $20,000,” Murray said. “But when we look at last year and next year, as far as hard dollars, this is it.”

One item local governments are struggling with is how many hours to give part-time employees, Fronk said.

The law states employees who work more than 30 hours a week must be offered health insurance, Murray said, noting there is a provision for temporary and seasonal work.

“When I came out to do the meeting with (Miami Township’s) department officials, a lot of people had questions about whether they would have to cover people they haven’t covered in the past,” he said. “The answer, for Miami Township, was ‘no.’”

About a month after the work session, Murray said the IRS decided it will not enforce the employee mandate of 30 hours a week until 2015.

“That’s not going to impact us because we are under those thresholds (anyway),” Fronk said.

Sometime in August the township will be offered a renewal rate with Anthem, he said.

“We’ll still provide high-quality care,” Fronk said.

Impact

dent who lives on the corner of Colonial Drive and Ohio 131, said she is afraid someone could get killed before construction is completed.

“The traffic situation has been horrendous,” Hahn said. “Milford has pretty much two entrances and two exists that’s (Ohio) 131 and Ohio 28. When you close (Ohio) 131 down, it does impact people down here.”

She said her normal route home takes about a minute and a half. With the lane closed, it takes about 10 minutes.

“This isn’t a small detour,” Hahn said, noting the condition of Klondyke Road and Wolfpen-Pleasant Hill Road - streets residents are now forced to take. “They are very bad, windy roads that are

made for the people that live on the road. They’re not roads made for through traffic.”

Hahn reached out to the Milford police department after seeing officers monitor Klondyke Road, but not the Ohio 131 closure.

Milford Police Chief Jamey Mills sent her an email saying his department would monitor the situation closer, she said.

Miami Township Service Director Mike Mantel said his wife was almost run off Ohio 131 recently by a driver ignoring posted signs and coming down the hill anyway.

“Sometimes people do stupid stuff, there’s nothing the police could have done about it,” Mantel said.

Miami Township Police Chief R. Steven Bailey said the penalty for such an incident would be a traffic citation for the violation of a traffic control device, Bailey said.

“I was down there yesterday and that would be a tough one to patrol,” he said. “Sometimes people ask us to monitor a traffic light. That’s difficult to do when you’re in a marked cruiser - people see you and they don’t violate the traffic light.”

Police would have a similar problem patrolling Ohio 131’s closed lane, Bailey said.

“If we sit down there (drivers) would see us,” he said. “I’m not saying it couldn’t be patrolled, but it wouldn’t be the easiest to patrol.”

of the closure and another worker at the other end to allow people to travel both directions.

“You might have to wait five minutes, but you could save on gas by not going the extra 20 minutes around,” he said.

Signs about the closure are posted back on Wolfpen-Pleasant Hill Road and at the intersection of Ohio 131 and U.S. 50, but Stephenson said people try to go down the wrong way anyway.

“Our inspector has encountered folks still continuing to wonder why they can’t get through,” he said.

Williamsburg meeting about gas pipeline

By Jeanne Houck jhouck@communitypress.com

WILLIAMSBURG — Two Lancaster attorneys are advertising a “Bluegrass Pipeline Landowner Group” meeting Tuesday, July 30, in Williamsburg for people who own property in Clermont and Brown counties where an underground pipeline for natural-gas liquids might cross through.

And while some landowners elsewhere along the proposed “Bluegrass

Pipeline” route stretching from Pennsylvania to other places in the northeast United States and to the Gulf Coast have vowed to fight the project because of safety, environmental and property-value concerns, the landowner group set to meet in Williamsburg July 30 has yet yet to attract members and the attorneys forming it have no wish to stop the pipeline.

“The goal of the landowners’ group is to negotiate for improved compen-

sation and to negotiate easements that better protect the affected farms and properties,” said lawyer Craig Vandervoort, who has teamed up with fellow attorney Steven Davis on the landowners initiative.

“The goal of the group is not to stop or oppose the pipeline project,” Vandervoort said.

The July 30 meeting will run from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the American Legion hall at 208 Main St. in Williamsburg.

The Williams company, an energy infrastructure business headquartered in Tulsa, Davis Oklahoma, and Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, a company that transports and stores natural gas and liquids with primary offices in Owensboro, Kentucky, and Houston, Texas, hope to have the pipeline operating by the end of 2015.

The companies have a website at http:// bit.ly/17ykrGT with information about the pipeline and a link where people can submit questions.

“Safety is our highest priority in the routing, construction and operation of Bluegrass Pipeline,” said Tom Droege, a Williams’ spokesman at its headquarters in Tulsa.

“Williams, as the eventual operator of the Bluegrass Pipeline, is committed to protecting the public, the environment, our employees and contractors - and operating the Bluegrass facilities in

compliance with all applicable federal, state and local rules and regulations.”

VanderVandervoort voort and Davis also have a website, bluegrasspipelinelawyers.com, where they say they have been providing landowners affected by pipelines with negotiation and litigation assistance since 1999, and that they currently are holding informational meetings across Ohio and Kentucky about the Bluegrass Pipeline.

The Williamsburg meeting is the fourth they have hosted.

“Over 150 landowners attended the first three (Bluegrass Pipeline) meetings,” Vandervoort said.

“Following the landowner educational portion of the meeting, there is a public forum for landowner questions followed by a private question-andanswer session.

“Landowners are not required to register, but

are welcome to contact the attorneys after the meeting if they wish to join the Bluegrass Pipeline lawyers group,” Vandervoort said.

Asked how many people are in the ClermontBrown counties landowners group being organized

by Vandervoort and Davis and where they are from, Vandervoort said, “Since the final route of the pipeline is months away from being identified, the landowner group is only in the preliminary stage of development.

“Although many landowners join the group when they are approached by land agents requesting survey permission across their land, most landowners join the group once they are notified that the pipeline company wishes to purchase an easement across their property,” Vandervoort said.

“The project cannot proceed unless right of way is acquired across the entire proposed route.”

Young performers ready to present ‘Grease’

By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

The Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre will perform the musical “Grease” at the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts from July 26 through Aug. 4. Molly O’Brien Peters, center, an alumna of the young people’s theater group, came back to choreograph the show.

Anderson Academy of Dental Assisting Take Your First Career Step Here Become a Dental Assistant!

West Price Hill — Kalie Kaimann and Aaron Marshall said audiences will enjoy the energy they see on stage when the Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre presents “Grease.”

Kaimann, a Delhi Township teen who plays Sandy Olsen in the classic show, and Marshall, a Milford teen who portrays Danny Zuko, are among the roughly 80 teenagers who have been rehearsing this summer for the musical, which marks the Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre’s 31st annual production.

Based at the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts, the Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre (CYPT) helps young performers between the ages of 13 and 19 hone their theater skills.

Kaimann, a Seton High School junior who is in her fourth year with the program, said she was introduced to CYPT by her voice teacher.

“I fell in love with it,” she said. “It’s the best summer program I’ve ever been involved in.”

Marshall said this is his first year with the organization, and it’s a dream come true to play the leading male role.

“I’ve always wanted to be in a production of ‘Grease,’” he said. “I just really love the theater, and I want to get into theater as a career.”

year at the University of Cincinnati, took a few years off from the program but said she had to return for her final year.

She said CYPT is a great place for like-minded teens to grow as performers.

“It’s an opportunity for young people to have a great experience and see how other young people work in the theater,” Martin said. “You see how others perform, you work together and learn from each other.”

Because “Grease” features several dance numbers, director and CYPT founder Tim Perrino brought in an alumna of the program to choreograph the dance scenes.

Molly O’Brien Peters, a Delhi Township native, said she performed in three CYPT shows when she was a teenager and she’s thrilled to be back helping a new generation of performers put on an entertaining show.

“The energy I get from the kids is incredible,” she said, adding that she choreographed 10 dance routines for the production.

“It’s a fun, high-energy show.”

Since “Grease” is such an iconic show and so many people have seen the movie, Peters said the challenge has been incorporating its familiar

dance numbers with her own ideas and twists to make the choreography modern and relevant to today’s teens.

“It’s been a lot of hard work, but so much fun,” she said. “And it’s worth it when you see your vision up on the stage and realized with the kids here.

There is so much talent and I’m really excited.”

Dancer Montana Hatfield, a Northern Kentucky resident entering her freshman year at Western Kentucky University, said this is her third year in CYPT and she couldn’t pass up the chance to be in “Grease.”

“Who doesn’t love ‘Grease,’” she said. “I think when audiences see 80 very talented kids performing it on stage, they are going to be blown away.”

Kaimann agreed with her fellow cast member.

“The energy in this show is outstanding,” she said. “The audience has fun when the performers on stage are having fun, and we are definitely having fun.”

The teens will present “Grease” from Friday, July 26, through Sunday, Aug. 4, at the Covedale theater, 4990 Glenway Ave. Tickets are $20 for gold seats, $14 for adults, $12 for senior citizens and college students and $10 for high school students and younger.

Becker introduces bill to redefine some firearms

arm” a semi-automatic firearm that is designed or adapted to fire more than 31cartridges without reloading.

“Ohio law includes a clause that defines a semiautomatic weapon as fully automatic when it carries more than 31rounds, but it is ridiculous to call any weapon ‘fully automatic’ based on an arbitrary magazine size,” Becker said. “An AR-15 rifle doesn’t suddenly become a machine gun by inserting a 40-round magazine.”

Becker drafted the bill after hearing from constituents in his district. If enacted, House Bill 191 would align Ohio’s definitions of the firearms with those of federal law.

Becker bill could eliminate marriage tax penalty

State Rep. John Becker (R-65th District) has introduced legislation that would eliminate the marriage penalty in Ohio’s income tax system.

House Bill 188 changes the way the joint filer tax credit is computed so married couples pay the same amount of tax on a joint return as they would had they filed separately.

In tax year 2012, a married couple working fulltime and earning minimum wage, paid an Ohio Marriage Penalty of $184.

HB 188 was referred to the House Ways and Means Committee.

Hamm of Milford honored at SkillsUSA Justin Hamm from Milford and a student at Live Oaks was awarded the college/postsecondary bronze medal in Sheet Metal at the recent SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference. Industry leaders representing over 1,100 businesses, corporations, trade associations and unions recognized the students for their demonstrated excellence in 98 hands-on occupational and leadership contests, such as robotics, criminal justice, aviation maintenance and public speaking. All contests are designed, run and

Milford High School sophomore Jacob Stauffer, left, and Larry Holstein attended the West Point Societies of Cincinnati and Dayton Leadership & Ethics Seminar. PROVIDED

Students learn of ethics, leadership The West Point Societies of Cincinnati and Dayton hosted its first Leadership & Ethics Seminar at Miami University Voice of America Learning Center in West Chester.

The seminar provided selected sophomore and junior students and faculty members from high schools in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, the opportunity to experience some of the leadership and ethics training developed for cadets at the US Military Academy at West Point.

Nearly 100 students and 50 faculty members from 50 local high schools attended the event.

This seminar, focusing on the same principles and values taught at West Point, was facilitated by West Point graduates from the Greater Cincinnati area. After a short workshop to understand and establish each

participant’s value and beliefs “framework,” small groups of students discussed several situational case studies in which they might find themselves.

These cases enabled them to explore their personal values within an ethical decision-making model – helping students develop and internalize a personal code of conduct that will make them stronger leaders.

Ethics and values-based leadership are often cited as making the difference between successful leaders and those who fail. West Point is often considered the premier leadership institution in the world.

West Point seeks to “educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets, so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character.” Cadets are taught, practice and live in an environment that develops this leadership

character over a four-year period.

The seminar also featured two guest speakers. In the morning, the students heard from Cincinnati City Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld. The closing session was provided by Dr. Victor Garcia, professor of surgery and pediatrics director, Trauma Services, at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

Both Sittenfeld and Garcia, who have been involved in youth leadership initiatives and leading change, spoke about the role of personal values in addressing ethical leadership challenges they had experienced.

All participants received letters of recognition and encouragement from their state governors, as well as from U.S. Sen. Rob Portman and U.S. Rep. Brad Wenstrup.

Eric Radtke of Union Township was honored as the 2013 Distinguished Alumnus at UC Clermont College March 27. THANKS TO MAE HANNA

Radtke named distinguished alumnus at UC Clermont UC Clermont College honored Eric Radtke as the 2013 Distinguished Alumnus at the college’s Scholarship Luncheon March 27.

The luncheon is held annually to recognize scholarship recipients, donors and to name a distinguished alumnus. The award is given to an individual who has distinguished themselves through significant professional accomplishment, made contributions to the community and attended UC Clermont College for at least one year.

“Words can’t adequately express my sincere gratitude or how deeply honored I am to be recognized as the 2013 UC Clermont College Distinguished Alumnus. This campus allowed me to forge lifelong friendships and memories and to master the keys to my future, while developing a keen awareness of the value of relationships and community.

I found the Clermont College environment to be all that I had hoped it would be - an environment that fosters innovation, integrity, teamwork, leadership and educational excellence amid numerous resources to enhance the college experience,” said Radtke.

Radtke enrolled in the UC Clermont Professional Pilot training program in 1996 as UC’s Presidential Scholar.

Upon graduation in 1998 from UC Clermont College, with an Associate of Applied Science degree in Aviation Technology, he transferred to the UC College of Business, earning

his bachelor’s degree in finance in 2000. After a year as a professional airline pilot, Radtke decided he preferred the experiences and rewards of general aviation education.

He returned to Sporty’s in 2002 to head its flight school and direct UC’s Professional Pilot Program.

Currently, he is president of Sporty’s Academy, a flight school that offers recreational to career pilot training and produces a complete line of award-winning aviation educational products. In addition, Radtke serves as chief instructor of aviation at UC Clermont College and vice president at Sporty’s Pilot Shop.

“While being recognized at a scholarship event as UC’s presidential scholar recipient during my freshman year at UC in 1996, I was invited to offer a few words of thanks. I commented that evening that there were two things I always wanted to be: A pilot and a Bearcat. UC gave me both. We are indeed part of something very special,” said Radtke.

“Eric Radtke was definitely born to be a Bearcat. The University of Cincinnati is part of his families’ legacy. Eric continues to lead, teach and give back in the community where he was raised. We are so pleased to honor him today as one of our shining examples of success, ” said Dean Gregory S. Sojka.

MILFORD — Doubters sometimes fuel an athletes fire.

Whether it’s Carolina Panther wide receiver Steve Smith who has an article hanging in his locker that says he would never succeed in the NFL or Daniel Nava of the Boston Red Sox who weighed 70 pounds as a freshmen in high school, went undrafted out of college and worked his way to the Majors only after a season with the Chico Outlaws of the Golden Baseball League.

Milford High School graduate and Point Park University junior-to-be Jordan Crowell is hoping to join the list of those proving all the doubters wrong.

“It drives me tremendously,” Crowell said of the doubters.

“To be honest, it fuels my fire. …

I feed off of it. Whenever I’m in the gym or running or whenever I’m hitting, I work with that in the back of my mind.”

Whatever Crowell is doing has worked thus far.

The third basemen earned National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics All-America Honorable Mention as a sophomore after leading the NAIA in hitting at a .441 clip. “… I was down (in Virginia playing summer ball) doing my thing and trying to get better and I get a call from my dad saying I made honorable mention,” the former Eagle said. “It was actually pretty awesome.”

The transfer from the University of Northwestern Ohio didn’t stop there when it came to the accolades. Crowell was named Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Year, All-KIAC First Team and Point Park Team MVP en route to helping his team to a 39-16 record and the NAIA National Championship Open Round.

While his .441 batting average ranks in the top 10 in school history, it’s not enough to satisfy the perfectionist that he is.

“Every athlete has room to get better in every aspect of

their game,” he said. “ … .440 is not good enough for me because I am a perfectionist. I love working.”

Crowell is currently playing in the Valley Baseball League in Virginia with the Winchester Royals in a summer wood-bat league. Who knows how his struggles this summer (.091batting average in 17 games) will affect his game when he gets back to Point Park, but one thing

is for sure: Crowell knows the competition will be gunning for the reigning player of the year.

“To be on top is one thing, but it’s harder to deal with success than to achieve success,” he said. “When you are at the top you are now the target of everybody who is trying to get to the top. Everyone is coming for you so you have to work your (butt) off 10 times harder to stay at the top.”

Elevation rises to national competition

By Mark D. Motz mmotz@communitypress.com

DALLAS — Cincinnati sits 540 feet above sea level. Dallas, Texas, rests 110 feet lower at 430. The change in elevation in Dallas proved a welcome change for the Elevation from Cincinnati. Yes, Elevation, with

a capital E. The Elevation volleyball program based out of Sports Express near Kings Island sent four teams to the USA Volleyball Girls Junior National tournament in Big D the week of Independence Day. The most successful Elevation squad - the 16-year-old

team coached by Sycamore High School girls varsity head coach Greg Ulland and filled with an all-star roster of rising juniors from across the city finished fifth in the upper-division tournament. The team won an lower-division national title the previous summer.

Three of the 10 Elevation 16

players - Abby Williams, Katherine Edmondson and Lauren Wilkins - were part of Ursuline Academy’s 2012 Division I state title program last fall under Lions head coach Jeni Case.

“That kind of competition can only be good for our area’s high school teams,” said Case, who owns and operates Sports

Express with her husband, former Purcell Marian High School multi-sport star John Paul Case. “The level of play is unbelievable.”

More than just a team event, the national tournament was a family affair for the Case clan.

Volley Continued from Page A8

Logan Case is an 11-year-old heading into sixth grade at St. Margaret of York. She played up with the Elevation 12-yearold team that took 13th place nationally among 48 qualifying teams.

“Logan’s 12s didn’t lose a tournament all year, but when you get to nationals, you see a whole different level of volleyball from other parts of the country,” Jeni said. “Some of

the California teams, those girls have been playing the beach since they were 4 years old.

“We have kids playing in third grade now in CYO which I still think is pretty young - but those girls already have five years in by that age.

It’s good for the parents to see that we’re good here, but there’s a much bigger world of volleyball. They see what it takes to compete at that level.”

Teams play multiple matches each day, including two days of pool play before dividing into National (upper-level)

and American (lower) brackets to determine the championship.

“Playing four days in a row like that, to focus on just the volleyball for that long, is a big help; it’s intense,” Case said.

In addition to the 16s and 12s, Elevation teams competed at the 13- and 14-year-old levels. The Elevation 13s finished 11th nationally, while the 14s competed in the American bracket and earned a bronze medal. The Elevation 15 squad competed in the 40th annual AAU championships in Orlando, taking 10th place.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dream on

Mr. Joseph in his letter “Dream on” continues the Republican mantra “cut taxes, create jobs.” Well, I guess it is a dream because we have cut taxes over and over and the only result has been the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer and the middle class withering away.

Please, Mr. Joseph and those of like mind, explain to me why the wealth at the top has increased by enormous amounts while the wages of the working class have been shrinking every since Reagan. Where are these jobs the job creators are creating.

Maybe the fast food industry? And don’t try to tell me about class warfare. Business declared war on the middle class and unions decades ago.

Btw, I’m a patriot. I served in the military, I was a union member, I don’t belong to the NRA and I don’t belong to a political party run by religious extremists and the NRA and I am proud of all that.

After 150 years, Morgan’s Raid is still controversial

He accomplished very apparently his own - raiding little of military significance and yet succeeded in destroying deep into enemy territory.

He caused a significant his command. amount of damage in Ohio Was the raid a military suc$897,000 including militia salacess? ries. Clermont County, with its Historian Edward Longacre paid claims of $76,479, ranked wrote that for a raid “to be conthe highest in the state. The sidered a complete and enduring success it had to be linked in largest local payouts were for the Little Miami Railroad someway with a larger opera($13,700) and the Williamsburg tion.

were paid to civilians for livestock, jewelry, clothing, cheese and crackers, and two barrels of beer. This damage does not rise to the level of causing a blow to the North’s military effort.

Therefore, Morgan’s Ohio raid also failed Longacre’s second test.

After a while, discipline began to fall apart. The raiders indulged in drinking. They took bird cages, ice skates, bolts of calico; none of which had military significance. They began to look more like drunken Vikings than trained military operatives.

The raid did have a psychological benefit of raising Southern morale; especially after the crushing defeats of Gettysburg and Vicksburg. But the temporary benefit came at a frightful price - the loss of 2,160 of his 2,460-man command.

Morgan lost favor within the Confederate command structure. He was seen by some as

untrustworthy. His celebrity, stoked by the raid, probably saved him from an investigation.

After escaping from the Ohio State Penitentiary, Morgan reformed his command. But it wasn’t the same. His men were not of the same caliber. His activities shaded more to the criminal than military. After robbing a bank in Mount Sterling, Kentucky, an investigation was opened. He was saved from a probable court-martial when he was killed in September 1864.

How are we to observe the anniversary of the raid? This question, and the larger question of how should we view the Civil War 150 years later, will be addressed in the next article.

We will compare two states Ohio and Georgia - to see their different approaches to this topic.

Supreme Court reaffirmed the legality of abortion it allowed states to set restrictions – without placing an ‘undue burden’ on a woman. Yet such a burden is precisely what Republicans at the Statehouse seek to apply.”

“Life is precious … in all forms. Wouldn’t it be wise to err on the side of caution … instead of encouraging people to only think about themselves?”

Gary Knepp is an attorney who teaches Civil War history at Clermont College.

CH@TROOM July 17 question Do you agree with the new abortion laws that were included in Ohio’s recently approved budget, such as prohibiting public hospitals entering into written agreements with ambulatory surgical centers that perform abortions to accept their patients in case of emergency, and requiring doctors to test for a fetal heartbeat, then inform the patient seeking an abortion in writing of the presence of that heartbeat, and then provide statistical likelihood that the fetus could be carried to term? Why or why not?

“YES. No explanation needed.”

J.K.

“There is no middle ground between those who believe that abortion is the killing of a human being and those who believe it is the correction of an extremely unfortunate life choice before it is too late.

“The women who are faced with the choice of a 20+ year commitment to raising a child they are not prepared to handle have a tough enough decision about their future. It should be their decision and theirs alone.

“The folks who disagree with this have been unsuccessful at making abortion illegal so now they have stooped to low and despicable tactics trying to make it difficult or impossible for a woman to receive a safe and legal abortion. They would rather see a woman die from a botched abortion at an illegal clinic than compromise their belief.

“They do not condone taking the child’s life but they have no qualms about killing the mother or dooming her to raise a child she is ill equipped to support.

“This is special interest politics at its worst, disgusting.”

F.S.D.

“The Ohio legislators should all have to adopt two children born to mothers who did not want or could afford the children. They will probably continue to reduce welfare.

NEXT QUESTION After the George Zimmerman acquittal in Florida, Attorney General Eric Holder has said his department will review so-called “stand-your-ground” laws that allow a person who believes they are in danger to use deadly force in self-defense. Do you support “stand-your-ground” laws? Why or why not?

Every week The Community Press asks readers a question they can reply to via e-mail. Send your answers to clermont@communitypress.com with Chatroom in the subject line.

Planned Parenthood should have greater funding not less.”

Walter

“Absolutely not. This is a social issue and has no place in any budget.

“It is also a mistake to make legislation that forces any American family to hide in the privacy of their homes out of fear for their government.

“While this budget shows us that elected representatives think they own our homes, businesses, schools,and property, it also shows they wish to own our choices, too.

“It’s scary, and they’ll pay for this puritanism at the next election.”

K.P.

“I do not agree with this, particularly prohibiting public hospitals from entering into agreements to accept emergency patients. All women are entitled to equal health care and treatment.

“Currently, clinics that perform abortions must have agreements with a hospital to provide emergency care. Prohibiting this essentially is closing some clinics down.

“What is most appalling is that these abortion provisions were sneaked into the budget bill at the last minute, allowing no debate and then Kasich, surrounded by men, signed it into law.

MILFORD-MIAMI

ADVERTISER

“It is a giant step backwards for women’s rights in this country and an embarrassment to the citizens of Ohio to allow such draconian laws on our books.”

D.P.

“Absolutely not. One more case of the white, right, male dominated state legislator telling women that they are not smart enough to have control over their own bodies.

“Why is it the Republicans, the ‘I love America’ group, who keep reducing the hard-fought rights of the middle, lower, and female class of citizens. First voter suppression, now a return to the 1950s. Next, if we are not careful, women will once again be chattels and non-whites second-class citizens.

“Wake up Ohioans, Kasich and cronies will destroy this great state. They got a start already.

“I am an older, white, male, but I have a moral conscience and do not want the good old days.”

J.Z.

“I disagree with everything about it. The way it was enacted by slipping it into a budget bill and the terms. Sneaking such action into the budget, and using the budget as a weapon against women, is as cowardly as it is cruel.

“These amendments only create insurmountable barriers that effectively eliminate safe medical abortions as an option, which are legal in this country.

If you want to prevent abortions make sure every woman has health care, a high school education, and access to birth control.

“Many Ohio women depend on Planned Parenthood for basic preventive health care.

They also count on Planned Parenthood being there for them during the times of greatest need.

“Politicians should not interfere with private health care needs of women. When the U.S.

A publication of

K.F.S.

“I do not agree. I have been a pro-choice advocate for decades. I believe the governor is only giving in to his pro-life donors and doesn’t care much for women’s rights.

“When a woman makes the heart-wrenching decision to abort she doesn’t need to hear the heartbeat or be put in danger if there is a problem and be refused admission at a public hospital. This is insane. Has the governor no compassion?

“Every woman in Ohio should be outraged at this action. We deserve better.”

E.E.C.

“I was on the bike path yesterday and came across a baby chipmunk someone had run over.

“Brought to mind the following from the Gospel of Matthew … ‘Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.’

B.L.M.

July 10 question Should the morning after pill be made available to women of all ages? Why or why not?

“The morning after pill should be available to all women no matter what age. Only the woman in question has the right to decide whether or not she is going to take the pill. Only she has the right to decide what happens to her body. Freedom of choice is what this country is all about.

“Let me bring up another important related point. Have we forgotten why crime fell so dramatically in the late 1990s? It was because of Roe versus Wade, allowing abortions for everyone. The previously unwanted pregnancies to poor uneducated women did not occur, so voila 20 years later these people were not around to commit crimes.

“I don’t understand how we as Americans can proudly hold up our heads to the rest of the world and even think about enacting more laws that discriminate against women.”

Neville Duffield

Use your basil bounty for Rita’s freezer pesto

Rita’s freezer pesto

There’s a huge interest in making pesto, so I could probably devote a whole column to it. Readers want to know if nuts are essential. No, and walnuts make a good substitute for pine nuts.

Should you add garlic after thawing? I add both nuts and garlic to my pesto prior to freezing, but some food gurus say leave them out since, in their opinion, these items turn strong in the freezer.

I use my food processor, but you could use a blender or make this by hand. This is a thicker pesto that freezes well.

Add more oil after thawing, if you like. Sometimes I’ll add a bit of water to pesto if I’m

der or fresh minced garlic (not too much), Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.

Repeat layers except for mozzarella, which should be added last 10 minutes of baking time.

Bake about 45 minutes or until veggies are tender before adding last layer of cheese.

From my book, “The Official Snack Guide” for kids. Healthy and refreshing.

using it to coat pasta.

Check out my blog to see some favorite recipes using pesto.

1 to 11⁄2 teaspoons garlic, minced 1 ⁄4 cup pine nuts, toasted if desired 1 ⁄2 stick unsalted butter (optional, but good) Generous handful parsley leaves 4 generous cups basil leaves, packed 11⁄4 cups Parmesan cheese or to taste 1 ⁄4 cup Romano cheese 1 ⁄2 to 3⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil Generous squeeze of lemon juice

With processor’s motor running, add garlic and nuts. Add everything else and using the pulse button, pulse until just mixed, then pour into containers and freeze.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen

Why does my pesto turn dark? Basil oxidizes rapidly when leaves are cut up either too finely and/or exposed to air, so use the pulse button to mix. That also alleviates heat while processing, which can turn the basil dark. Try these tips to keep your pesto green. » Blanch the basil

Crime novelist to visit Williamsburg library Clermont County Public Library will welcome popular crime and suspense novelist Peter Leonard to the library next month for its All Access Author Series.

Leonard has several thrillers in Leonard publication including his latest, “Back from the Dead,” a sequel to “Voices of the Dead.”

Leonard will speak about the writing process, conducting research with Detroit Police Homicide and growing up with a famous author as a dad.

Peter’s father, Elmore Leonard, has been called “America’s greatest crime writer.” He is a New York Times bestselling author and has written more than 40 books during his highly successful writing career. Elmore Leonard is also known for his work, which later became films such as “Get Shorty,” “Jackie Brown” and the hit FX TV-series “Justified.”

Sometimes my enthusiasm in spring for planting herbs and produce goes so out of bounds that when it’s time for harvesting, I get overwhelmed.

I went out early to pick tomatoes and happened to see what Rita I thought Heikenfeld were a few green RITA’S KITCHEN beans ready to pick. Ditto for cucumbers. By the time I finished, I had a big basket of beans, almost a dozen cucumbers and more than enough squash for the neighborhood. I had also planted a row of both Iranian/lemon and sweet basil in the veggie garden. (Not that I didn’t already have enough in the herb garden!) The basils were just starting to flower so I had to harvest them, as well. The veggies will keep for a couple of days but I wanted to work with the basil then, so I made my latest version of freezer pesto.

• Quality measures Nursing homes regularly collect assessment information on all residents using a form called the Minimum Data Set. The information includes the residents’ health, physical functioning, mental status and general well-being. Medicare uses some of the assessment information to measure the quality of certain aspects of nursing home care, like whether residents have gotten their flu shots, are in pain, or are losing weight. These measures of care are called “quality measures.”

Medicare posts each nursing home’s scores for these quality measures on this website.

A “star rating” is provided for each of these three sources. Then, these three ratings are combined to calculate an overall rating.

Morgan’s Raiders Trail signs remember Civil War times

By Sharon Brumagem clermont@communitypress.com

Nearly 200 people across Clermont County participated in the Morgan Raid Heritage Trail Sign Dedication July 14, exactly 150 years after General John Hunt Morgan and his Raiders swept through the county stealing food, weapons, horses, money and burning bridges, leaving behind eyewitness accounts from county residents and their now famous footprints in Civil War history.

National, state and local dignitaries, along with dozens of historical and civic groups members and county residents participated in an afternoon of activities that included a soldout historical tour of Morgan’s Raiders local sites, sign dedications in Miamiville and Williamsburg before ending with a trail sign dedication reception at Harmony Hill, homestead of the father of Clermont County and Williamsburg founder, General William Lytle.

Miami Township Trustee Mary Makley Wolff headed the dedication of two signs located at the side of the bike trail near Village Market in Miamiville, one

for the “Fighting at the Bridges” and the other for the John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail. She thanked those who gathered for the ceremony, including 52 passengers from the Morgan’s Raiders Heritage Trail bus tour. Croswell Bus Co. donated use of the bus while Terri Daugherty, member of the Clermont County Civil War Commemorative Committee, served as hostess and Rick Crawford, county historian, planning committee member and historical tour guide, shared his knowledge of what transpired during Morgan’s two-day sweep July 14 and July 15, 1863.

Upon receiving warning of Morgan’s menacing advance, many villagers and those living in the countryside hid or buried valuables while one woman hid horses in her parlor knowing Confederate gentleman would decline entering a lady’s domain, Crawford told the tour group. “People are still finding things buried along Morgan’s route through our county,” Crawford said.

In Williamsburg, Mayor Mary Ann Lefker read a proclamation commemorating Morgan’s

stop in the village. She also participated in unveiling the sign installed in her village across Ohio 276 from the Croswell Bus Co. The concluding Morgan Raid Heritage Trail Sign Dedication/ Reception at Harmony Hill featured a flag raising by Williamsburg Boy Scout Troop 348, singing of the “Star Spangled Banner” by Stephanie Williford, speeches by Clermont County Civil War Commemorative Committee Chair Harold Paddock, county Commissioner Bob Proud, Williamsburg Harmony Hill Association President Lucy Snell, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War Member Kerry Langdon, singing of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic by the Williamsburg Community Choir, and the reciting of the Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln re-enactor Jim Crabtree.

Organizations involved in the day’s activities also included: Village of Willliamsburg, Williamsburg Fire & Life Squad, Williamsburg Police Department, American Legion Post 288 and Ohio Historical Society.

JULY 24, 2013 • CJN-MMA • B7

Cucumbers are ready, time to make pickles see Dr. Sipple. He has been helping her. She has had back problems for several years. It seems she needs to go see him every couple of months.

I was talking to Mike at the Boars Head Bait Shop in Afton. He said the last crappie tournament the weigh in was better than the last one before. The winner this time had over 5 pounds and the big crappie weighed over 1 pound.

That is a good fish. I imagine this fall the fishing will be extra good.

The black raspberries have quit producing. We had a good crop this year. It looks like we will have a good supply of plants to sell. The plants we have to sell will produce berries next year, so give us a call. We can dig the plants any time.

The garden is doing OK. We are getting plenty of cucumbers. Ruth Ann made a batch of lime pickles and she is now making a batch of bread and butter pickles. She will put the receipt in this article. The lime pickles are real crisp.

The others aren’t as crisp but still good. They will make for good eating this winter when there is snow on the ground and it is cold. The tomatoes are slow to ripen this year due to the rain and then the hot sun, but they will be good when they do ripen. The little yellow tomatoes are doing good.

Here are the pickle recipes.

VETERANS CORNER The Veterans Service Commission was born in the year 1886. Following the Civil War, the nation was in a depression with little work. Soldiers, both Blue and Gray, were very hard pressed to make a living for their families, for those disabled, almost impossible.

Our forefathers had the insight and knowledge to know something had to be done. A property tax and pension became the order of the day.

Basically, there has been no change. We still have the property tax and a pension from our government. Other than inflation and the value of money, things are as they were in 1886. Even the wounds received by our soldiers are much the same.

The Bible says there will be wars and rumors of wars all through our history, whether it be here or on some foreign soil.

We all must take care of our men and women serving in our armed services.

They protect our rights, our freedoms and our way of life.

The staff at the Clermont County Veterans Service Commission wish to remember all fallen comrades this Memorial Day. The day set aside to honor those who have given their all and family members for their pain and sacrifice so that our flag can fly over our capitol buildings, schools, churches, homes and all the other places Old Glory flies symbolizing our nation’s freedoms.

Howard Daugherty is the executive director of the Clermont County Veterans Services Commission.

Lime Pickles 7 pounds of cucumbers sliced crosswise 1 cup Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime 2 gallons water.

Soak clean cucumbers in water and lime mixture in crockery or enamel ware for two hours or overnight. Do not use aluminum ware.

Remove sliced cucumbers from lime water, discard lime water, rinse three times in fresh cold water. Soak three hours in fresh ice water.

Combine 8 cups distilled white vinegar, 5 percent acidity, 8 cups sugar, 1 tablespoon pickling salt (optional), 2 teaspoons mixed pickling spices. We add several drops of green food coloring to make them a pretty green. Bring to a low boil stirring until sugar dissolves.

Remove syrup from heat and add cucumber slices. Soak 5 to 6 hours or overnight.

Boil slices in the syrup 35 minutes. Fill sterilized jars with hot slices.

Pour hot syrup over the slices, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Cap each jar when filled.

Process pints 10 minutes, quarts 15 minutes, in a boiling water bath canner.

Bread and Butter pickles 1 gallon sliced cucumbers not pealed, mixed with1/2 cup salt, and bury in cracked ice.

Cover with weight, let stand three hours, then drain.

Syrup: 5 cups sugar, 1

teaspoon celery seed, 4 cups vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon mustard seed , 1-1/2 teaspoon tumerick, 1 cup water.

Pour over pickles and place over heat and stir occasionally. Heat mixture to scalding, but do not boil. Pack in steril-

ized jars. Pour syrup over pickles and put the lids on to seal. This recipe does not say to process in boiling water bath.

Howdy folks, Something happened a few nights ago, around 12 midnight. We heard a noise at the bedroom window. Ruth Ann said, “Chessy is that you?”

Chessy meowed some, so Ruth Ann got up and went to the living room door and let her in. She came in and laid on the foot of our bed the rest of the night. This is the first time she has done this. When Tony comes in, she knows the sound of his truck, and knows he will have treats for her. Animals sure are smart.

What a beautiful home for the seniors. There was a good crowd and the Honorable Doug Green gave the dedication prayer. The folks that live there are so proud of their beautiful home and are willing to tell folks about it.

I started cardiac rehab Wednesday morning, July 17, I had an interview on Monday and had lots of questions. This will be an interesting experience. The time will be three months, three times each week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday for 1-1/2 hours. I am excited to do this so I can get back to good health again.
