BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Night of the Stars honors Milford graduates

By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

Hamilton County Democratic Party Chairman Tim Burke said Biden was the right choice to appeal to the middle class.

Biden can connect to small towns and blue-collar America, Burke said. “He comes from that background.”

Biden grew up in Scranton, Pa., and has said he knows the

‘MIDDLE’ GROUND IN CAMPAIGN

By Gannett News Service MILFORD — Vice President Joe Biden told hundreds here Sunday the biggest difference between President Barack Obama and his rival, Mitt Romney, is that Obama actually believes in the middle class.

“I found it fascinating how the new Republican Party discovered the middle class at the convention,” Biden said. “It was like, ‘Eureka.’

“My dad would say to us, ‘Don’t tell me your values, show me your budget. I will tell you what you value,’ ” Biden said.

Biden said a closer look at the Republican agenda shows plans for massive cuts to Medicare, massive cuts to Social Security,

massive cuts to early education.

“Why are they doing it?” he said. “They have to. They need to do it to pay for the massive tax cuts they will give to the very wealthy.”

Republican reaction was swift.

“Once again Joe Biden has illustrated that he is incapable of talking honestly or substantively about the most important issues affecting Ohio workers and families,” Romney campaign spokesman Christopher Maloney said. “…It appears as though he is willing to say anything to divert attention away from the Obama administration’s failed policies, which

Vice President Joe Biden works the crowd during a campaign stop at Milford High School. AMANDA DAVIDSON/THE COMMUNITY PRESS have left more than 400,000 Ohioans looking for work.”

About 735 people turned out to hear Biden speak in the Milford High School cafeteria, according to the Miami Township Fire Department. It was Biden’s last stop on two-day swing through Appalachia that stopped in Zanesville and Athens on Saturday and Portsmouth earlier Sunday.

Earlier in the day Biden stopped at Cruisers Diner in Seaman, Ohio, sitting down with a group of motorcycle riders. The brief chat made national news because an Associated Press photo shows a woman practically sit-

It’s Biden’s 17th visit to Ohio this year. He’ll be back Wednesday for an event in Dayton.

Campaign

In 2004, Republican former President George W. Bush won Ohio because of overwhelming Republican margins in Clermont, Warren and Butler counties weren’t offset by Democratic Sen. John Kerry’s wins in large northern Ohio counties like Cuyahoga County.

Ohio’s former governor, Democrat Ted Strickland, faced the same problem when he lost his bid for re-election in 2010.

This year, Republicans in Clermont County and nearby Butler County might be open to some Democratic arguments about middle class issues.

In 2011, Clermont County and Butler County voters voted to repeal Senate Bill 5, Republican Gov. John Kasich’s failed bid to curtail collective-bargaining rights of public sector unions.

Strickland spoke before Biden, reminding the crowd how important Ohio is. “I want to remind you no Republican has ever won

struggles of a family trying to get by in a bad economy. His father at one point lost his job and his family relocated to Delaware.

The Milford stop shows how important Cincinnati’s ring counties are to winning Ohio. The Democrats don’t expect to take Southwest Ohio’s heavily Republican counties of Butler, Warren and Clermont, but President Obama must minimize the losses there.

If the Democratic candidate loses big in those counties, he can’t win Ohio.

The crowd responded with a chant of “Four more years.”

After Biden’s speech, Strickland said, “it’s been two good days.”

“We have a lot of enthusiastic people committed to helping the president and vice president,” he said. “The message is being well received.”

Milford residents Tony Gustin, 48, and Cindy Gustin, 51, said they came to the event for one specific reason: “We wanted to see part of history.”

The Gustins consider themselves blue-collar workers and wanted to hear Biden’s message to the middle class.

“Joe seems to be one of the more middle-class vice presidents that we’ve seen,” Tony Gustin said.

Diane Porteous-Ervin, 59, of Milford summed up Biden’s speech this way: “The (Democrats) are worried about all the right things.”

Affaire brings artists together

By Rob Dowdy rdowdy@communitypress.com

Art Affaire brings art lovers from near and far, and this year’s event is also bringing more artists than ever before to Promont House Museum.

Art Affaire, held by the Greater Milford Area Historical Society, will be 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 22, at the Promont House Museum, 906 Main St. The outdoor art show will feature art exhibits in painting, clay, sculpture, photography, jewelry, glass, fiber, wood and mixed media presented by local and regional artists.

This year’s event will feature approximately 60 artists, up from 40 in previoius years.

Mary Ward, an organizer for the event, said she actively recruited new artists to go along with those artists who are familiar with Art Affaire.

Local artist O’Neal Johnston has been participating in Art Affaire since it began seven years ago.

He said he continues to return not only for the the chance to be on the Promont House grounds, but the mix of interesting music and fellow artists as well.

“The quality of the material is pretty exceptional,” Johnston said.

Johnston’s art focuses on wood-carving and woodturning. He said one of his specialties is handcarved Santa Clauses, though he also makes small bowls, ornaments and other items made from local wood.

Northside artist Elizabeth Gaul will be attending her first Art Affaire this year after being approached by organizers during a show in Cincinnati. Gaul, who specializes in Pennsylvania-German folk art, said she’s looking forward to the event in part because of its connection with the Greater Milford Historical Society.

Gaul said she enjoys educating people about older forms of art, and does so through her wood-carving, water color work and scissor-cutting works of art.

Gaul has been an artist since 1980 and is originally from Pennsylvania.

This will be the third year that Elizabeth Kindle, College Hill, attends Art Affaire, bringing her fiber art back to the event. She began making fiber art, which uses fabric, art and natural fibers to make bowls and other fashionable containers, shortly before attending her first Art Affaire, and is looking forward to returning this year.

“It’s a really good variety of quality (art),” Kindle said.

She creates anything from trinket boxes to dog beds using recyclable materials like secondhand clothing, plastic store bags and mylar balloons.

Art Affaire is a fundraiser for the Greater Milford Area Historical Society, with the money helping maintain the Promont House Museum, support activities at the facility and helps raise $500 for annual scholarships for Milford students interested in studying history in college.

Milford reduces Parks membership, terms

By Roxanna Blevins rblevins@communitypress.com

MILFORD — City Council members Sept. 4 approved an ordinance reducing the number of members of the Parks and Recreation Commission from seven to five.

The commission had been operating with six members after the seventh seat was vacated. The decision to reduce the number of members on the commission came at a time when another member, Chris Rosenhoffer, had

chosen to step down.

Mayor Geoff Pittman said Rosenhoffer resigned from the position for personal reasons.

“He will certainly be sorely missed,” Pittman said.

He said the number of members was reduced to five to compensate for the vacancies and to keep membership at an odd number. Having an odd number on a commission helps avoid even splits when voting on issues, he said.

“This is going to allow us

to be even more efficient,” City Manager Jeff Wright said.

Wright said the city’s other commissions have five members as well.

In addition to reducing the number of members, the ordinance also reduced the length of terms for noncouncil members to twoyear terms.

“The city council felt that by reducing the length of terms, it would encourage community members to join in the future,” Wright said.

Men try to rob motorist

A 24-year-old Williamsburg man was injured Sept. 6 when he was attacked by two men on state Route 276 near Half Acre Road in Williamsburg Township, according to police.

The Clermont County Sheriff’s Office said Trevor Riley told them he was driving on state Route 276 when he stopped about 4:50 p.m. for a car that appeared to be disabled with its emergency flashers on.

Police said Riley told them he stopped to assist and when he approached the vehicle two male African-American subjects emerged, knocked him to the ground and and attempted to take his wallet from his pocket. Riley told police he rolled around and resisted, and the two men were unsuccessful in their attempt to rob him.

The two subjects then left the scene in their vehicle described as a white minivan with no windows.

Riley sustained minor facial injuries and was transported to Clermont Mercy Hospital.

2012 Lady Eagles celebrate milestone as a team

By Tom Skeen tskeen@communitypress.com

MILFORD — As the whistle sounded Aug. 28 and the 2-1 victory over McAuley was in-hand, the Milford Lady Eagles soccer team had some celebrating to do.

Not only did the win move them to 3-0-2 on the season, it was coach Patrick Winkler’s 100th victory of his career.

“Personally it just means I’ve been around long enough and have been lucky enough to have some really great players go though the program,” Winkler said. “Not just the soccer program, but just that I’ve been around some fabulous graduates of Milford High School. I’m lucky and blessed to be a part of it.”

Winkler is in his eighth year as coach of the Lady Eagles and after a victory over Anderson Sept. 4, his career record sits at 101-27-12. His teams have won four consecutive conference

championships, two district championships, one regional runner-up team in 2011, along with earning conference Coach of the Year five times and AllCity Coach of the Year in 2008.

“I’m happy, very happy,” Winkler said about his time at Milford. “I’m especially happy for the girls. I always tell them one of the things as I coach that I strive for and want them to be part of is something bigger than themselves. I take a lot of joy and happiness when I see them celebrate some sort of achievement.

It’s awesome just to see.”

2012 is no different when it comes to success. The Lady Eagles are 4-0-2 through Sept. 7 and even after graduating some quality talent from 2011, they have stepped-up to the challenge this season.

“We knew that we had some great players coming back,” Winkler said. “It has been challenging finding the right pieces and putting those pieces togeth-

er. We lost a returning player to an ACL injury so that sort of shakes some things up. We’ve had to adapt to that but we are very pleased, especially with our work rate. We are a very

hard-working team.”

Senior Kiersten Johnson is one of the big reasons for the early success. She leads the Eastern Cincinnati Conference with seven goals and 17 points.

“She’s good,” her coach said.

“That doesn’t surprise us. We knew from a production standpoint she had the capability of producing. We knew she could score and set goals up, but what we have to do is guard against being one-dimensional. We have to make sure we are getting as many girls involved because teams are going to key in on her.”

Kayla Byrnside has been another key contributor. She has a goal and four assists through the first six games.

“She has been one of our more consistent players throughout the season,” Winkler said. “She has been asked to do a little bit of everything. She is a multi-tool player and has excelled at giving us quality minutes wherever we need her.”

Water polo finds its way to St. Xavier

By Tom Skeen

tskeen@communitypress.com

SPRINGFIELD TWP. — In its first official season as a varsity sport at St. Xavier High School, the water polo team is off to a 3-4 start to begin the season.

The Bombers opened the season at the Napoleon Invitational and went 2-1, but came back to Cincinnati for the Milford Invitational and went 1-3 to sit where they are currently.

After being established as a club team in 2011, coach Michael Roberts is pleased with where is squad stands.

“We are doing well,” he said. “This is only our second season so we are still at the developmental

stage right now.”

Leading the Bombers is senior Cameron Young and junior Jake Westerkamp. Both are team captains and Roberts believes they have the skill sets to play at the next level.

Another key contributor is senior Nate Sultan, who plays baseball at St. Xavier and has a lot of potential, according to Roberts.

Between varsity and junior varsity, Roberts said there are nearly 30 kids in the program. The ones who came to tryouts ranged from football players to kids with little-to-no swimming experience.

“Some guys came out because they think it looks cool,” Roberts said. “They

saw it on the Olympics and they thought it looked cool. Our kids aren’t all swimmers; some have never swum at St. Xavier and don’t intend to swim there. We actually have kids that were either tired of playing football or that sustained an injury and it prevents them from playing.”

To prove what Roberts said to be true, all you have to do is look at their roster and see that they have three former football players, a guard from basketball and Sultan from baseball.

“If I could teach my kids anticipation and better reaction time we would take a big leap forward in our performance,” he said.

The incoming seventh-grade St. Columban Bobcats are the champions of the Nothin' But Net Sports Complex Summer League Tournament. They defeated the Milford Heat, 36 - 31, in an exciting game. The Bobcats live in the Loveland and Milford school districts. In front are Ben Cummins, John Christian Cundiff, assistant coach Phil Lewis and Matthew Ney. In back are T.J.

Thomas More football hungry for more

By Adam Turer

presspreps@gmail.com

It is hard to imagine a team being disappointed with winning 31 of its past 35 games.

While disappointment might be a bit too strong, the Thomas More College Saints remain hungry for more success. After reeling off two straight undefeated regular seasons capped by first round playoff victories, the Saints slightly stumbled in 2011, losing their first regular

season game since 2008, their first conference game since 2007, and their first round playoff Autenrieb game.

“We can’t be satisfied,” said head coach Jim Hilvert. “We have lofty goals for this season.”

Focus on facts of Milford levy Fellow Milford, Miami Township and Union Township residents, As many of you know, the Milford Exempted Village School District Board of Education voted unanimously to place a 4.5-mill operating levy on the Nov. 6 ballot.

My goal with this letter is not to blindly ask people to vote in favor of passing this levy; however, I am hoping that voters will do the necessary homework about this issue to make an objective, informed decision one way or the other.

The Partnership for Milford Schools has established

www.4milford.comand www.facebook.com/keepquality to provide facts about Milford Schools and this operating levy.

Instead of dealing in spin which is so prevalent this political season, we are focusing on the facts and key measures that demonstrate the financial and educational performance of Milford Schools. » This 4.5-mill operating levy is not only less than the 5.5-mill levy that was passed in 2008, but it’s also the lowest operating levy amount ever requested by the Milford School District. By reducing expenses and developing new

sources of income, the board of education and school administrators fulfilled their promise to the community to make the 2008 Tony Hyott COMMUNITY PRESS levy last four years.

GUEST COLUMNIST » If passed, this levy would generate about $3.9 million which is critical to offset over $4 million in state funding cuts. If these state funding cuts were not happening, there wouldn’t be a need for a new levy. The purpose of

this levy is not to add programs and services, but to maintain the level of service currently being provided. » Since passing the levy in 2008, Milford Schools have increased their Performance Index Score (the average of all Milford student scores on the state test) each year resulting in Excellent or Excellent with Distinction designation on the state report card. » The average costs per pupil and administrative costs at Milford are lower than other Excellent-rated districts in our area as well as the Ohio state average.

Beware of squabbling political groups Pull a dollar bill out of your wallet and look at the eagle on the back. In its beak is a banner with the phrase “e pluribus unum” printed on it. The phrase, meaning “out of many, one,” was our country’s motto until 1956. It originally referred to the idea that from 13 sovereign states one country was formed.

Over the years, it came to mean something more: Out of many countries, ethnicities and races was born one people Americans. We Americans hold commonly shared values: Freedom of speech, press and religion; free enterprise; belief in the individual; equal opportunity, and limited government. The values are what we call “Americanism” - the glue that holds a diverse people together. They are what makes us exceptional “The Shining City on a Hill.”

Radicals in the 1960s claimed that “a shared national identity”

was evil. They argued that the majority, who held these shared values, oppressed minorities. To overcome this situation, it Gary Knepp COMMUNITY PRESS was necessary to identify GUEST COLUMNIST these social groups - race, ethnicity, class, religion, gender and sexual orientation - and develop government policies that appealed to the self-interest of these groups regardless of whether these policies met the common good. And thus was born “identity politics.”

Identity practitioners support politically-correct speech, sensitivity-training sessions, intrusive government intervention and make government appointments based more on their group identity than on

their individual merit. Crafty identity politicians formulate an electoral calculus that counts votes by separating Americans into favored groups and handing out government goodies to them. By its very nature, identity politics are divisive - pitting one group of Americans against another.

President Theodore Roosevelt recognized the danger posed by identity politics way back in 1915 when he wrote: “The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin … would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities.” Liberal historian Arthur Schlesinger, decades later, decried “the cult of ethnicity,” warning that identity politics will pull the country apart.

We are seeing the tactics of identity politics in play. Racial divisions are being agitated.

Religious practices are threatened by government policies.

Class envy is being preached.

Favored groups are being rewarded, while others are being punished.

In a recent poll Americans, by nearly a 2:1 margin, believe the country is going in the wrong direction.

How do we change our country’s direction? One very important step would be to recognize the destructive nature of identity politics and develop objectives and politics that promote the common good - floating everyone’s boat instead of just the favored.

If we don’t do this, the outcome is clear. Our country will become mired in the paralysis of “squabbling” groups that Roosevelt warned us about. Or worse, we may even devolve into the tribalism characteristic of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Tea party beliefs and the Bible

CH@TROOM Sept. 5 question Ohio’s ban on texting while driving is now in effect. Do you think the law is a good idea and will it make roads safer? Why or why not?

“I can’t think of any legislation that was more of a ‘good idea’ than Ohio’s ban on texting while driving. Rational people would hope that anyone who gets into a motor vehicle and drives will be aware of and sensitive to the risks he may encounter on the road, even if he is alert and focusing on driving. “ I wish we didn’t have to pass laws to get people to do smart things, but sometimes you gotta.”

NEXT QUESTION Do you think a former Navy SEAL who participated in the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden should have written a book about the mission without first submitting it to U.S. government officials for pre-publication review? Do you plan to read the book?

Why or why not?

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

Would God join the Tea Party? Probably not – Acts 10:34 says that God does not show partiality or favoritism.

But He would agree with Tea Party principles, not because He agrees with us, but because we agree with Him. How so?

The guiding principles of the Clermont County Tea Party boil down to three: » Fiscal responsibility – we should not spend money we don’t have, either personally, as a family, as a community, or nationally. » Limited government – government does not give us rights; rather, its job is to protect our rights. » Free markets – government does not produce wealth; only free individuals working in voluntary cooperation with other free people can produce anything of value.

The Bible consistently warns against debt and advises us to carefully consider the priorities of our spending. In Romans 13:8, Paul says, “Owe no one anything.” Anticipating credit card and installment loan debt, Proverbs 13:7 says, “There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing.”

The United States is borrowing money from Communist China and from investors from other nations in disobedience to Deuteronomy 28: 12, 43-44 which predicts that they will

become the head and we, the tail. Proverbs 22:7 confirms, “…the borrower becomes the lender’s slave.”

Randy Kleine Our stated COMMUNITY PRESS national debt GUEST COLUMNIST exceeds $16 trillion, but unfunded Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid liabilities now push that figure to $222 trillion according to Bloomberg News. This debt is now owed by our children, grandchildren, and those yet unborn. Proverbs 13: 22 says that “a good man leaves an inheritance (not debt) to his children’s children.”

What about the poor and needy (and those students from middle- and upper middle-class families that demand federallysubsized student loans)? Romans 13: 1-7 lays out the proper role and jurisdiction of civil government, that is to provide an environment that protects the lives and property of its citizens by apprehending and punishing evil-doers.

Charity is properly the domain of the individual, the family, and the church.

Since neither government or criminals produce anything, illegitimate government and criminals share common behav-

As Aesop said in 600 BC: “We hang the petty thief, but appoint the great ones to high office” to do our stealing for us.

The ability to own, use, and dispose of private property is the essence of liberty, the springboard of production and wealth, and the fount of generosity. Slaves cannot own property, nor can they freely help others in need. Unless a man is able to profit (keep what he earns) from the use of his time, labor, and capital (property), it is doubtful that he will create much wealth.

The Seventh Commandment establishes the sanctity of contracts; the Eighth, the individual right to own and control property; and the Tenth, that not even in thought should a person violate the property rights of another.

Dean Edith Peters was UC Clermont’s first dean, and the first female dean of a co-ed college in Ohio. PROVIDED

UC Clermont celebrates 40 years

By Rob Dowdy rdowdy@communitypress.com

The University of Cincinnat’s Clermont College has been providing an education and opening doors to employment to thousands of students in its 40 years of existence.

The school is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year by not only looking back at past accomplishments, but also looking forward to new possibilities and challenges.

UC Clermont Dean Gregory Sojka said the school has always partnered with county businesses, which is how the school got its start in Clermont County.

In 1969, a group of Clermont County businesses, residents and organizations made a proposal to the University of Cincinnati to bring a branch campus to the county. The group pledged $125,000 to buy a 60acre farm property on which to build the campus.

The University of Cincinnati bought the property in May 1970.

Through donations and purchases, the school now occupies 91 acres in Batavia Township.

The school, which opened with a single building, now has eight buildings on campus.

The school’s first dean, Edith Peters, who was also the first female dean of a co-ed college in Ohio, was hired in June 1972, just three months before the school opened. At the time, UC Clermont had 16 administrative and support staff, along with 10 full-time and eight part-time faculty members.

The school now has 98 fulltime faculty members and 150 part-time faculty members teaching each term.

UC Clermont, originally Clermont General and Technical College, opened its doors Monday, Sept. 25, 1972, with 97 full-

The school continues to expand its reach by offering more programs and classes for students. PROVIDED time and 184 part-time students.

During the 2011-2012 school year, UC Clermont enrolled 2,400 full-time students and 1,471 part-time students.

Registration prior to the start of the first class in 1972 was conducted at various off-campus locations because the school’s sole building was incomplete and the main road to campus, College

Drive, wasn’t finished.

Patricia Scherer, one of the first faculty members hired in the first year of the school, remembers driving up Interstate 275 to the campus, noting she passed few cars and Eastgate Mall “was a big hill.”

Scherer said students began flocking to the school, even though the campus’ only build-

ing wasn’t even completed when the first semester began.

She said some of the windows had no glass and fixtures were hanging from the ceilings of some classrooms.

“Nothing was really in place, but we started,” Scherer said.

Sojka said while many things about the school have changed in its 40 years, the foresight of those who founded the school has remained intact.

“They had a vision that this community needed a college; that it would be part of this community’s growth,” Sojka said.

Sojka said 40 years after opening its doors, UC Clermont continues to welcome first-generation college students each fall and spring. He said that was part of the original intent of the

school, and remains a focus.

UC Clermont’s alumni consist of school administrators, managers of local businesses and county commissioners.

“They’ve stayed here. This is their home,” Sojka said. “I see our students – past and present – in the supermarket, at church, at baseball games.”

Cindy Sproehnle attended class from 1973 at UC Clermont and graduated in 1975. She said she began working on her degree in part because her family valued education and also because it was affordable.

The school was also close in proximity, which was even more important when she was a student because traveling to the main University of Cincinnati campus was prohibitive to some Clermont County residents. She lived so close to campus she actually rode her horse, “Spice,” to class “once or twice.”

Sproehnle said her degree from UC Clermont allowed her to obtain a bachelor’s degree from Vanderbilt University and two master’s degrees from Xavier University.

UC Clermont is celebrating its past, but with an eye toward the future. The school is offering a new health information technology program, which will prepare students to manage information technology systems in the health care field.

To assist in this new endeavor, the school is leasing a 97,000square-foot facility, which at one time was the Ford plant in Batavia Township, to offer the courses.

The new facility, dubbed UC East, will offer a bachelor of applied administration degree along with a UC Clermont’s allied health programs, its College of Nursing, which offers a bachelor’s degree in nursing and College of Education courses.

Kids can help with banana pudding

Mom’s no-cook best banana puddin’

The “mom” in the title is me. This heirloom recipe is an easy dessert that the little ones can help with and it tastes so good.

You can double this recipe for a 9-inch by 13-inch pan.

If you double the recipe, use the larger box (5 oz. or so) of pudding. I put mine in a smaller casserole dish.

4 oz. cream cheese, softened ½ cup sweetened condensed milk (This is half of the 14 oz. can.

Freeze the leftover milk.)

3.5 oz. package instant vanilla pudding 1½ cups milk1 tablespoon vanilla 2 cups whipping cream, sweetened to taste*, whipped and divided, or 16 oz. whipped topping, thawed and divided 3 ripe bananas, sliced

out for a brighter flavor.

1 to 1½ teaspoons garlic, minced ¼ cup pine nuts, toasted if desired ½ stick unsalted butter ½ cup parsley leaves 4 cups basil leaves, packed 1½ cups Parmesan cheese or to taste ½ to ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil

With food processor’s motor running, add garlic and nuts. Add everything else and process until smooth. Stays fresh in refrigerator about a week.

To freeze, either fill ice cube tray sections or freeze in plastic bags, laying them flat on top of each other.

Rita’s no-bake banana pudding uses cream cheese and instant vanilla pudding. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

COOKING WITH RITA Brambles and bountiful fall fruits at Jungle Jim’s, 5440 Dixie Highway, Fairfield, 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m., Monday, Sept.

17. Call 513-674-6059 for details.

Gardeners and foodies will enjoy learning how to grow fruits and herbs while feasting on Rita’s special menu.

Some lucky students will win fruit plants.

About half a box of vanilla wafers

Put cream cheese and condensed milk in mixer and blend well. Whisk pudding mix into milk and vanilla, and blend until smooth. Add to cream cheese mixture. Blend well and fold in half the whipped cream or whipped topping. Save the other half for garnish.

Make layers in casserole dish:

Vanilla wafers, bananas and the pudding mixture on top. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving or up to 8 hours. Garnish with whipped cream and more wafers. *To sweeten whipping cream: Stir in 1/4 cup powdered sugar or more to taste before whipping.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen

Sprinkle cocoa powder or shaved chocolate on

top.

Stir in a couple handfuls of coconut into the pudding.

Make individual puddings in wine glasses.

Rita’s freezer pesto

Basil is in season right now. Make your own pesto and you’ll be happy you did. This makes a nice amount and is better than anything you can buy. Plus less expensive in the long run. A great topping for pizza, pastas, soups, breads. Fabulous dolloped on polenta that you’ve cooked with a bit of garlic and Romano cheese. Pesto is good on just about anything! Go to taste on garlic. Some people like to leave the cheese out and just stir it in when thawing

Vegetarian black beans and rice (hopefully like Skyline’s)

rice is cooking, sauté onion and garlic in a bit of olive oil. Add beans, cumin and oregano. Cook until heated through. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix with rice. Garnish as desired.

Can you help?

Race to Rescue Sept. 15 Join Louie’s Legacy Animal Rescue for the first annual “Race to Rescue” - a special event aimed at spreading the word about responsible pet ownership, building fellowship with other pet parents and helping special pets find forever families. It is the rescue group’s first attempt at a simultaneous community event held in conjunction with the rescue’s sister location in New York City to build solidarity for animals across the country.

“Race to Rescue” in Cincinnati will be from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15, at Kennel Resorts in Miami Township. The keystone of the event will be a spon-

sored dog walk. Dogs must have their humans on a leash and be both crowdfriendly and vaccinated.

The walking path is a halfmile long, but groups can walk longer.

To participate, pre-register online at www.crowdrise.com/ RacetoRescueOhio2012.

Walkers are encouraged to collect pledges from friends and family for completion of the dog walk. Top pledge-earners win prizes.

In addition to the walk, the “Race to Rescue” will feature a free community event filled with petfriendly vendors, pet care information, raffles, a pet adoption station, a chil-

dren’s area and more. The first 30 families also will receive free “Wag Bags” packed with special gifts and everyone will get a booklet with a Kennel Resorts map, pet ownership tips, games and coupons for pet products.

Event organizers also are looking for sponsors and businesses to donate merchandise or participate as presenters or vendors.

Anyone who is interested should contact Carol Locey at carol@louieslegacy.org or at 513-476-5386.

Recent Quality Care Therapy Reviews Patricia B. was admitted to Mt. Washington Care Center after a fall at home.

Initially fall x-rays did not show a fracture. After a few weeks with increased pain, Pat returned to the hospital and a second x-ray showed a fracture to her femur. Pat underwent surgical repair, she had a screw fixation of the femoral neck performed by a physician in the Wellington Orthopaedic Group. Upon arrival at Mt. Washington Care Center, Pat was dependent on staff members to assist her with bathing, dressing and transferring from wheelchair to bed and to her chair. Pat received physical and occupational therapy for approximately six weeks. After her rehabilitation process, Pat was able to take care of all her personal needs from bathing and dressing to transfers. She was also able to progress from requiring the assistance from staff members to move herself to walking independently with a rolling walker over 250 feet, and getting in and out of bed and in and out of a car independently. Pat is now home with her loving husband.

Vicki D. came to Mt. Washington Care Center with congestive heart failure after spending time at Drake Hospital for rehabilitation, which at the time was too intense for her to tolerate. Vicki was on 2 liters of oxygen, unable to take care of her personal needs, and unable to walk more than 10 feet with oxygen and a rolling walker without stopping to rest. Vicki received physical and occupational therapy for approximately four weeks. After those four weeks of therapy, Vicki is now able to independently dress, bathe and she is walking 250 feet with a cane and without the use of oxygen. With the support of her family and home care, Vicki returned home with her family. Good luck Vicki!

Jane L. chose to come to Mt. Washington Care Center after an accident at work which resulted in a broken hip requiring joint replacement surgery. After approximately five weeks of receiving physical and occupational therapy, Jane was able to independently take care of all of her personal care needs. She was also able to walk independently with a rolling walker over 200 feet. Jane had to work through restrictions from her surgeon regarding weight bearing. Jane was able to apply compensatory techniques and use adaptive equipment with training from the therapists. After almost six weeks of therapy addressing her ability to take care of her personal needs, her ability to walk, her standing and walking balance, Jane was able to return to her home and begin the retirement that was planned prior to her accident. Way to go Jane!

Act quickly on cell phone problems With new, improved cell phones coming out each year it’s no wonder nearly 500 million phones were sold worldwide last year alone. But before you buy a new wireless phone you need to know your rights, just in case something goes wrong.

Cathy Schweitzer of Alexandria bought three new phones for herself and family earlier this year. She quickly noticed there was a problem with the phone she bought for herself – it would take too

long to turn on.

Schweitzer says, “I took it back on April 2 and they said the problem Howard was the Ain way I was HEY HOWARD! holding the phone. That I was pressing these two buttons, the volume and the on-off at the same time. ‘Don’t do that,’ they said, ‘and that shouldn’t happen.’”

to replace the one with which she’s continued to have problems. This time she was told the 14-day return policy had expired.

In the meantime, Schweitzer continued to have billing problems. Her bill shows the company tried to correct it by giving her a credit, but the same charges also appeared on the new bills.

At one point, she says, a supervisor tried to fix the billing issues but she says he made it worse. Schweitzer says, “He increased

But Schweitzer says she had even more problems and returned to the cell phone store two more times in the first 12 days she had the phone. “They said, ‘This is the way the android phones work.’

Well, the other two phones I purchased did not.” She told that to the cell phone employee but he would not take the phone back.

A few weeks later, when she was back at the store for another reason, Schweitzer again inquired about getting a new phone

the data plans from $19.99 to $24.99, so now I’m overcharged on those. I’m still not getting the credit, I’m still being charged for the promotional officers – and the phone still doesn’t work.”

I contacted the cell phone company and the charges on her bill were corrected. In addition, she’s now getting a new cell phone free of charge.

That’s something she says she had been trying to do for months.

The big thing to re-

member when buying a new cell phone is to take it back to the store immediately if there’s a problem.

You usually only have a limited time, in this case just 14 days, in which to get a replacement phone or cancel the sale altogether. After that time you may be out of luck.

Rain on the roof a welcome sound Howdy Folks; We finally got some rain we had, according to our rain gauge, two inches. We woke up during the early morning and heard it raining.I asked Ruth Ann, “Is that rain I hear?” She said it sure is. What a blessing the rain came slow and the ground really accepted the moisture, thank the Good Lord.

We went to White Oak Valley Grange at Mowrystown for their Grange picnic. There was a good group there with plenty of good food. The lecturer from Monroe Grange, Bob, had a good program.

Everyone enjoyed it. We

do this as an exchange program, they had the program at Monroe’s picnic in George July.

Rooks The OLE FISHERMAN picnic was held at the little park in Mowrystown. It is a fine park, and is sure kept clean. It seems there is a lot of use for the park. The kids of the Grange sure enjoyed the swings and they have a swing using a tire. Claire sure enjoyed this swing. She asked if we

had a tire to make a swing at their house for her. We had just taken our old tires to Felicity the Friday before, but Tony said he had one and would get it to them.

There was a senior citizens meeting at their office. I have been on this board for several years, it is a privilege to be helping the seniors of Clermont County.

Ruth Ann was talking to Pauline, and she said our great grandson weighs 9 pounds, 6 ounces, and is a good eater, and sleeps good at night. We are so privileged to have a family like we have. Pauline and Ralph celebrated 29 years of marriage this week.

The freezer at the Grange hall quit working, so Ruth Ann, Tony, and I went and loaded it in our truck, and took it to Hamersville to the recycling place.

Ruth Ann and I were invited to a picnic at some folks from church in Nicholsville. It was a great evening and a beautiful home and property. These folks are so gracious to invite folks to their place.

Thanks, Gary and Diane.

Now Saturday mornning, on the first Saturday of the month, the men of the Bethel United Methodist church have a breakfast meeting. This month it was at Frisch’s here in Bethel. There were several folks there. Ruth Ann went along with me. This may sound different, but we had a Pomona Grange meeting at Pan Handle, near West Union, at 10:30

a.m. While we were up that way we did some shopping for coffee, paper goods and other things.

After the meeting there is always a meal to enjoy.

The big weedeater we have had for several years, needed some work, so we had taken it to Dan, so he could fix it, on the way home we stopped and picked it up, and of course paid him for the repairs/ Thanks Dan. Saturday evening we were invited to a 50-year wedding anniversary celebration for a fine couple. Their children held the party at one of the kids’ home. What a beautiful place they have. Now the two celebrating the 50 years also play music with the Kinner Express. This group plays at the Old Bethel Church here at East Fork.

There was a fine group of folks helping them celebrate this wonderful event. These two wonderful people have a beautiful family and several grandchildren, and have made lots of friends over the 50 years. Congratulations to Jim and Nancy Cook, from the ole fisherman and wife. Ruth Ann and Nancy were in school together, so their friendship has been for years. The Kinner Express will be playing for the Homecoming at the Old Bethel Church Oct. 7, so mark your calendar and come.

On Sept. 19 the Clermont County PERI will be at the Chilo Park, with the speaker Chris Clingman.

There will be some information on the activites

in Columbus concerning our retirement Last Sunday after church, Ruth Ann and I had the noon meal with Dennie and Elaine at Frisch’s. This is always a special time to share with this wonderful couple.

We saw an ad in the paper for the new store on Beechmont that has recently opened, called Ollie’s. Well, we went down to see the store, and what a place. We were impressed.

Now I must write about, you know who, Chessy. This cat is such a blessing she waits in the morning for us to get up, when I open the kitchen door, she is ready to come in. Last Monday in the afternoon, while we were watching the news, Chessy was laying on the arm of Ruth Ann’s chair. Ruth Ann had made some banana bread earlier, so she got us some to eat. She had put cream cheese on a slice, so she gave Chessy a small piece and after she ate it she looked up at Ruth Ann like, well, I need another piece. Whatever we are eating she will as usual eat it too.

Ruth Ann needed to go to the kitchen, so she put Chessy on my lap. She snuggled on my arm and seemed to be very happy.

When Ruth Ann made a noise, Chessy jumped down to see what she was doing, What a cat. While we were doing Grange reports, Chessy layed under our chairs.

Start your week by going to the house of worship of your choice and

praise the Good Lord. God Bless All. More Later. » The PERI for Clermont County will meet at 11:30 a.m. at the Chilo Park, with Chris Cligman as the speaker, there will be no catered meal, so bring a sack lunch or stop at a nearby restaurant and pick up something. There is a Deli on 52 which has sandwiches you may order. You may call them at 876-7467, or you may also stop after the meeting and tour and get some ice cream there. » The Bethel Lions Club will be treating the residents of the Bethel Woods apartment complex to a meal and program Monday, Sept. 17. The Men of the Lions Club will be making cakes and some of the residents will judge them, for some prizes. The dinner will be at 6 p.m.

This is an annual service the Lions club does for these folks. » The Lions Club’ Birthday Calendar listings are due by this meeting.

We invite anyone who would like to have their birthday and anniversary on the calendar which goes out into the community to contact one of the Lions Club members, or call the Rooks’ at 734-6980.

The listings of five dates, and the calendar, is $5. If you have a business you would like to advertise on this calendar, contact us. A one-line listing is $25.

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