Covered bridge to reopen soon in Stonelick Township By Cindy Schroeder cschroeder@enquirer.com

CINDY SCHROEDER/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Jon Carpenter, the bridge inspector for Clermont County, has been supervising the reconstruction of the Stonelick-Williams Corner Covered Bridge since mid-July. The 136-year-old bridge collapsed Feb. 11 while crews were rehabilitating it.

TOWNSHIP

—

Nearly a year after it collapsed, Clermont County’s only covered bridge on public property will soon reopen to pedestrian and vehicular traffic. “We should be finished by early January, weather permitting,” said Jon Carpenter, Clermont County’s bridge inspector. “We lost about half a week of work after that snowstorm in mid-November. Because of the added weight and slippery conditions, we had to de-ice everything (before reconstruction could resume).” Since mid-July, Carpenter has supervised the reconstruction of the one-lane StonelickWilliams Corner Covered

Bridge on Stonelick-Williams Corner Road near US 50. The 136-year-old bridge’s roof and trusses fell into the creek last February while crews were rehabilitating the structure. The wooden bridge had been closed to traffic since May 2010 when an overloaded garbage truck ignored the three-ton weight limit and broke the floor beams. Fifty-seven percent of the bridge’s original timbers were salvaged. “Throughout this whole process, we worked with the state historic preservation office to make sure this stayed a historic structure,” said Todd Gadbury, whose last day as bridge engineer for the Clermont County engineer’s office was Dec. 12. “A substantial amount of timbers were broken

and couldn’t be re-used, but we wanted to use as many of the original materials as possible.” The project’s general contractor, the Righter Co. Inc. in Columbus, Ohio, has extensive experience in covered and historic bridge renovation, according to its website. Although the county is re-using as many of the original materials as possible, the safety of bridge travelers will be a priority, Clermont County Engineer Pat Manger has said on his website. The rebuilt bridge will have a thicker floor, additional bracing and a larger eight-ton weight limit, up from three tons. The roofer was expected to start on the bridge’s new roof on MonSee BRIDGE, Page A2

Additional millage recommended for Miami Township police, fire and EMS services By Cindy Schroeder cschroeder@enquirer.com

MIAMI TOWNSHIP — As the Miami Township Board of Trustees prepared to adopt the 2015 budget, Administrator Larry Fronk recommended putting additional millage on next November’s ballot for police, fire and EMS services. Fronk told trustees the current millage of 7.4 mills is not sufficient to fund future public safety operating costs. By March, he said staff will determine how much that additional millage should be. He said projections indicate it would be about a five-year levy of less than 2 mills. That would enable the township to maintain current operations with an estimated 2 percent revenue increase per year. “It is projected the $7 million reserve in the safety fund will be reduced by $2 million by Dec. 31, 2015 at current levels of operation,” Fronk told trustees as part of his 2015 budget presentation at the board’s Dec. 8 work session. “That reduction will be even greater in subsequent years. The township needs to begin a discussion on placing a levy on the ballot in November 2015.” The last public safety levies were passed in 2005 and 2006, Fronk said. The police and fire/ EMS department expenses make up more than 65 percent of the township’s total operating budget, Fronk said, and those levies can’t cover the cost of operating those departments. The police levy covers only half the operational cost of that department, with the two safety service levies covering the rest of the operational costs, Fronk said. He added the same situation exists in the fire/EMS department, with fire and EMS levies covering about half of the operational expenses of that department, meaning the safety service levies have to make up the difference.

At their Dec. 8 work session, the Miami Township Board of Trustees heard their administrator recommend that they consider putting additional millage for police, fire and EMS operations on the November 2015 ballot. A recommendation on the specific millage, which would be less than 2 mills, would be made by March.

Ken Tracy, chairperson of the Miami Township Board of Trustees, later said he’s reviewing “all the numbers from the budget and the data that was provided to (trustees)” before deciding whether to support putting additional millage on the November ballot for public safety operations. “I very much want to focus on the service aspect to Miami Township residents, while also being respectful of the financial needs of the people of our township,” Tracy said. As Tracy sees it, the key question is: “Are the services going to be negatively impacted (without additional millage), and if so, how much would the residents pay to continue the excellent service that the township has?” Want to know what’s happening in Miami Township?

Variance request to delay Milford planning vote By Cindy Schroeder cschroeder@enquirer.com

MILFORD — A Milford Planning Commission hearing on a proposed zone change to allow construction of 92 apartments at the site of the former Milford Main Middle School has been continued until Jan. 14 so that a variance request can be heard. Real Estate Ventures Capital LLC wants to build more units per acre than are currently allowed on a 3.51-acre site between Main Street and Lila Avenue. That variance request will be heard by Milford’s Board of Zoning Appeals on Dec. 18. Because of that variance request, the Milford Planning Commission will continue its Dec. 10 hearing on the proposed zone change at a yet-t-be-determined location on Jan. 14. Details will be posted on the

city’s website. Jim Cohen, president of Cincinnati-based CMC Properties Inc., which built Riverwalk Flats and Rowhouses in Milford, wants to build a three-story apartment building where local residents can “age in place” and walk to churches, groceries and shops. He and his team say much of Milford’s housing stock is older and has many features that are not “aging friendly,” unlike the proposed apartments. The developer also wants to deed 4,000 square feet at the intersection of Lila and Main to the city, where he has suggested a clock tower be built using elements from the 102year-old school building as a memorial to the former Milford Main Middle School. Cohen said his Milford on Main project targeting active seniors 55 and older

would fill a gap “between a traditional nursing home and a high end facility costing thousands of dollars” and would offer “a safe, secure home for Milford residents who want to age in their community.” However, nearly a dozen critics who addressed the Milford Planning Commission on Dec. 10 expressed concerns about traffic, the building’s scale, its impact on property values and the loss of part of the community’s history. Jim Corwin, a resident of the 600 block of Main Street, said the building is “out of character for where it’s being placed” and he said he “personally doesn’t want a 92-unit apartment complex across the street from (his) house.” He said he feared the apartments would have a higher turnover rate than adjacent neighborhoods, and he called for a comprehensive

traffic study, as required by Milford’s Land Use Plan. Longtime resident John Zigenhardt, another Main Street resident, and Charlotte Evans, who owns property at Lila Avenue and Center Street, also expressed concerns about the project’s scale. “The idea of senior housing is good, but I feel overwhelmed by the size and height,” Evans said. Andy Evans, who lives in one of Milford’s oldest homes, said he’s made a substantial investment in his property, and he questioned whether he’d be able to recoup his investment, should the demographic of Milford on Main renters change in the future. He doesn’t think a threestory building would be an appropriate fit for his

neighborhood, and he joined others asking for a comprehensive traffic study before a zone change is voted on. While some called for the old school to be preserved, Milford resident Mary Anne Will said she looks forward to moving into Milford on Main, if it’s built. “If the school board’s not going to sink another dollar into the building, would you rather look at a boarded up building?” she asked critics.

day, Dec. 15, and the bridge will be painted the same “barn red” color as it was before. “People are just tickled to death that it’s being done back as wood and not a concrete structure,” Carpenter said. The county has funding of up to $1.1 million for the bridge to account for change orders, but currently, the rebullt bridge is expected to cost about $850,000, Gadbury said. Twenty percent of the funding is from Ohio Public Works, 40 percent is from the National Historic Covered Bridge Preservation Program and 40 percent is from OKI. “We’ve had three change orders due to the rot that we found,” Gadbury said. He added the bridge’s truss components were chemically treated, and weathering steel was used in the reconstruction instead of black iron so that it wouldn’t rust all the way through.

Dianne Kruetzkamp of Milford writes mysteries under the pen name of “Duffy Brown.”

Milford author releases mystery in time for Christmas By Jeanne Houck jhouck@communitypress.com

Milford is known for its bike trail. Now its best-known mystery writer is adding another spoke in that reputation with the first in a series of planned “Cycle Path Mysteries,” all set on Mackinac Island. Dianne Kruetzkamp, the national bestselling author with the pen name of “Duffy Brown,” has just released “Geared for the Grave,” which she says is a story of “where biking takes a deadly turn.” “Shakedowns, coverups and big lies keep bodies hidden on Mackinac Island and bike-riding tourist oblivious to it all,” said Kruetzkamp, 68. Penguin Books’ Berkley Prime Crime published Geared for the Grave and is scheduled to release two more Cycle Path Mysteries: “Braking for Bodies” in 2015 and “Tandem Demise” in 2016. Berkley Prime Crime also is publishing Kruetzkamp’s “Consignment Shop Mysteries” series, which are set in Savannah. “Dead Man Walker” is set to be released in February and “Demise in Denim” in April. “Pearls and Poison” was released in March, “Killer in Crinolines” in 2013 and “Iced Chiffon” in 2012. For 20 years before that, Kruetzkamp wrote romance novels under the name of “Dianne Castell” – a remarkable longevity given she was too busy to begin writing in earnest until she was 40 years old. Kruetzkamp and her husband reared their four

Clermont County resident J. S. Bailey has penned her third novel. “Servant, which released Nov. 4, is the first book of “The Chronicles of Servitude,” in which Bailey explores what it means to use the gifts we are given in order to help one another: Bobby Roland knows things he shouldn't. Plagued with premonitions of disaster, he fights to save others’ lives. What Bobby doesn't foresee is that rescuing a stranger from death will place him in the line of fire.

children in Milford and she taught at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School in Milford and worked at a consignment shop before deciding to write full time. Kruetzkamp has a license plate reading “Sherlock,” cats named “Spooky” and “Dr. Watson,” and a distaste for gore. “I write ‘cozy’ mysteries,” Kruetzkamp said. “These are murder mysteries without the blood, guts and gore that concentrate on the fun side of murder.” How can murder be fun? “I just kill off the people everyone wants dead,” Kruetzkamp said. “Then we sit back and figure out who did the old boy - or girl - in.” Kruetzkamp apparently is in tune with many people who love reading. A Kings River Life Magazine review says Geared for the Grave is “an insanely humorous world.” “Readers are sure to be immersed in this outrageously entertaining and hilarious mystery.” A review in Suspense Magazine calls Geared for the Grave “one terrific read.” “A well-written plot with great characters. Readers will want to run to Mackinac Island and set up house.” Kruetzkamp’s books are available in chain and independent bookstores and sold on Amazon.com. Visit her website at www.DuffyBrown.com.

He discovers a world of evil spirits and tormented souls Bailey when he becomes entangled in a madman's plot to kill the Servant, a man chosen by God to exorcise demons from the possessed. When Bobby falls under spiritual attack following the encounter, he must choose between saving others and saving himself. Bailey is a graduate

of Clermont Northeastern High School and Northern Kentucky University, where she studied Entrepreneurship. Her stories typically involve ordinary characters who are thrown into terrifying situations involving the supernatural. She lives with her husband in Amelia. “Servant” and Bailey’s other stories are available at Amazon.com and at Schmid’s Sunoco in Owensville. Learn more about her stories at www.jsbaileywrites.com.

County has enough salt on hand – if winter is typical

Clermont County will have enough rock salt on hand if Southwest Ohio experiences a typical winter, County Engineer Pat Manger said. Facing both a national shortage of rock salt, and much higher prices, the county will prioritize which roads it salts first. The price of rock salt, used to de-ice roads, has more than doubled this year, Manger said, from $48 a ton last year, to $117 a ton this year. Not only that, rock salt is in short

supply, at least partly attributable to both the huge demand of last year, and local and state governments restocking their stockpiles. In a typical winter, the Clermont County Highway Department uses about 6,000 tons of salt. Last winter, one of the snowiest on record, the county implemented strong conservation policies due to salt shortages, Manger said. In fact, Clermont County had to manage its supply carefully as the endless winter continued through March, and could have used more salt. This year, the county has about 2,500 tons of salt

on hand, said Rob Alfieri, administrator in the Engineer’s Office. “We have another 7,500 tons on order from Central Salt,” he added, and some of that is obligated to other Clermont County jurisdictions. “We estimate that if we have a typical winter, using 6,000 tons, we’ll have about 1,500 excess tons to sell to others entities that depend on us,” Alfieri said. To ensure that its salt supply lasts, the county is putting other measures into effect. That includes more extensive use of brining – treating roads before a storm with a brine solution.

Seipelt Elementary turns blue for a day to celebrate national honor By Cindy Schroeder cschroeder@enquirer.com

MILFORD — To celebrate its recognition as a 2014 National Blue Ribbon School, Milford Schools’ Seipelt Elementary became a sea of blue for one day, and invited special guests to mark the occasion with students and staff. On Nov. 25, blue balloons welcomed guests, both outside the school and in its hallways. Classroom doors were decorated in blue, and students wore blue T-shirts with the saying, “Look for the awesome,” the school’s theme for the year. Staff

also was decked out in blue T-shirts and teachers – some in blue fright wigs – lined the walls of the gymnasium to high five students and cheer as pupils bounded into the gym through an inflatable Milford Eagles tunnel. “Today is our celebration for all of our hard work, not only this year and last year, but for all of the years that Seipelt has been around,” Principal Sarah Greb told the crowd. Greb, who recently traveled to Washington, D.C. with long-time Seipelt teacher Jill Zerhusen to accept the National Blue Ribbon School

Sarah Greb, principal of Milford Schools’ Seipelt Elementary, led nearly 400 pupils, teachers and guests in a Nov. 25 celebration. The school was recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a 2014 National Blue Ribbon School.

CINDY SCHROEDER/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Seipelt Elementary Principal Sarah Greb and Charlie Seipelt, the retired principal for whom the school was named, reflect on the Milford elementary school’s recent recognition as a National Blue Ribbon School.

Award from the U.S. Department of Education, said she wanted to give all of the students, staff and the Seipelt community a chance to celebrate their hard work. “Sometimes, we get so caught up in all the things that are going on in school that we kind of forget to take a breath and have fun,” the principal said. “This is really just a day to relax, enjoy each other and realize how special this award is.”

At the end of the ceremony, which included pupils reading a Top10 list of reasons why Seipelt is so awesome, teachers took part in a flash mob and led pupils in a dance to Pharrell Williams’ catchy tune, “Happy,” with the words changed to reflect Seipelt Elementary. Among the honored guests, which included state and county elected officials, were two past Seipelt principals, Melissa Borger and the school’s

CHOCOLATE CLUSTERS A FAVORITE My most favorite Christmas song is “We need a little Christmas.” But right now, I need a little more time. I’m sure you can relate! Regardless, I still say a Rita gift from the Heikenfeld hand is a gift RITA’S KITCHEN from the heart. And I’m sharing one of my all-time favorites today.

Better than best chocolate clusters

“A friend” contributed this. The ultimate cluster, really! Grandson Jack looked at the photo of these and said, “They look so yummy.” But, Jack has braces so he can only enjoy the photo. Here’s my adaptation: 20 oz. pkg. Nestlé’s dark chocolate chips 8-9 ozs. dried cranberries or cherries - I used cherries and cut them up a bit 8 ozs. slivered almonds, toasted 8 plump dried apricots, diced or snipped with scissors Coarse sea salt to sprinkle just a teeny bit Roast almonds in 350 degree oven just until fragrant and golden, stirring a couple times for a total of 10-15 minutes. Be careful as they can burn easily. Melt chocolate in a nonstick pan over low heat. Remove from heat when some lumps remain and stir until smooth. Stir in everything but salt. Scoop out on sprayed pans or waxed paper. Sprinkle very, very lightly with salt (just a few granules) and refrigerate until hard. I store mine in the frig between pieces of parchment.

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

These chocolate clusters are a favorite of Rita Heikenfeld's.

Paula’s foolproof standing rib roast Here’s one from Paula Deen, who, when I interviewed her way back when, said this is her most popular and perfect recipe for rib roast. This cooks at a lower temperature so you won’t get the splatter in the oven that comes with higher heat recipes, like the one I’m sharing on my site. For Larry, who wants to make sure this expensive cut of meat that he’s buying will turn out well. 1 (5-pound) standing rib roast 1 tablespoon House Seasoning, recipe follows House seasoning: Keeps in cool place, covered, up to 6 months.

1 cup salt 1/4 cup black pepper 1/4 cup garlic powder Tip from Rita’s kitchen: I usually divide this in half and then add sweet paprika to taste and a couple finely crumbled bay leaves to one half and use that as a general purpose stew, etc. seasoning. Allow roast to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 375 degree F. Rub roast with House Seasoning; place roast on a rack in the pan with the rib side down and the fatty side up. Roast for 1 hour. Turn off oven. Leave roast in oven but do not open oven door for 3 hours. About 30 to 40 minutes before serving time, turn oven to 375 degrees F and reheat the roast.

Important: Do not remove roast or re-open the oven door from time roast is put in until ready to serve.

Rita’s foolproof standing rib roast.

I don’t have room for this in my column, so check out my site, Abouteating.com for the recipe.

Can you help?

Ranch dressing like Taco Casa. I always enjoy talking to Gene Kennedy, owner of this hometown restaurant chain. For a while now, I’ve been getting requests for his ranch dressing. When I asked, or rather tried to coerce him, for the recipe, he chuckled and more

or less said “no dice.” Legions of his fans have asked for this over the years so you’ll just have to go and enjoy it at Taco Casa, one of our premier ethnic restaurants. BTW, Gene is going to be a guest on my cable show “Love starts in the kitchen” so I’ll ask him to feature it for tasting. If you have a similar one, pls share.

Coming soon:

Laszlo’s restaurant stuffed cabbage rolls.

Editor: Richard Maloney, rmaloney@communitypress.com, 248-7134

EDITORIALS | LETTERS | COLUMNS | CH@TROOM

CH@TROOM Dec. 10 question Should Ohio change the way it draws Congressional districts (and state districts)? Why or why not? What changes do you propose?

“This will be a first for me in this column; I honestly don’t know if Ohio should change the way Congressional districts are drawn. We hear the charge of gerrymandering all the time and from both political parties. But what does that really mean? How are the districts drawn? How and why are they ever changed once drawn? If they are changed, how does it affect each of us on a dayto-day basis? All of us could likely benefit from a concise primer on district drawing, written in understandable English and not from Wikipedia.” M.J.F.

“Ohio’s current system of redrawing legislative district lines every 10 years places power over the process in the hands of whichever political party controls state government. The last time around, Republicans controlled most of the seats at the table, and Democrats say that led to districts drawn to make it easier to elect GOP candidates. “There is no doubt that Gerrymandering tactics are used to reconfigure districts to favor the majority party. Both the Democratic and Republican parties have proposed changes to this process. If lawmakers can not agree on a reform package, the constitutional changes could be placed before voters in May. How that would turn out I have no idea as I am sure the wording will be impossible to understand. “The power belongs to whoever is in power. For now that is the Republican Party in Ohio and in Congress. They were elected to preside over these decisions. But then asking the two parties to be bi-partisan and do what is best for the state versus their party is an oxymoron. Go Figure!” T.D.T.

even though they hadn’t been completed yet. It was assumed the national designers would do a good job. Besides, Ohio Brett was desperate Lebhar COMMUNITY PRESS for the money. Some GUEST COLUMNIST school administrators now defend Common Core by saying it would be confusing to switch to another set of standards. They want us to pour more money into Common Core. This is not a good investment. Here’s why: 1, Common Core standards are not based on sufficient research and include concepts that are not develop-

Repeal and replace Common Core My wife and I have been residents of Anderson Township for more than 24 years. We raised two sons here who both attended Forest Hills schools. Even though our children are grown, we still care about the quality of public education in our community. That’s why I support the repeal and replacement of Common Core education standards in Ohio. It was a widely-held view that our pre-2009 Ohio education standards weren’t rigorous enough, so a move to new standards seemed to make sense. When Ohio was approached by the U.S. Department of Education in 20092010 and offered “Race-tothe-Top” funds, our state signed up for the new, national Common Core standards

mentally-appropriate. 2, Common Core standards have never been tested or proven anywhere. 3, Common Core standards are not competitive globally. The only English/language arts expert and the only mathematician on the Validation Committee both refused to sign off on Common Core standards because they weren’t rigorous enough. There were some states that had competitive standards before Common Core (most notably, Massachusetts), but even those states traded in their high-quality standards for the lower quality Common Core standards in order to receive federal money. 4, The Common Core design team didn’t have experience in developing standards.

No one on the design team had developed state standards before, and no K-12 teachers were included on this team. 5, Common Core standards are copyrighted and can’t be changed. Even where the standards are weak or flawed, the state of Ohio and our school district don’t have the freedom to change them. 6, Teacher support for Common Core is plummeting. In a national survey, teacher approval for Common Core dropped from 76 percent to 46 percent in just one year. 7, Common Core compromises the privacy of individual student data. Due to Common Core, our school children’s private Personally Identifiable Information will be sent, without parental

approval, outside of Ohio to the U.S. Department of Education which can then share it with any agency or company as it so chooses. For all of these reasons, Ohio should repeal and replace Common Core. There’s a bill in the Ohio House of Representatives, Sub. HB 597, to repeal Common Core standards and replace them with the proven and globallycompetitive pre-2009 Massachusetts state standards. If you share my concerns, please contact your elected representatives to ask them to support Sub. HB 597 for the repeal and replacement of Common Core.

Will you be a responsible gift giver this holiday season? ‘Tis the season for scratching our heads and wondering what to buy our loved ones. Often we will fill our Christmas stockings or holiday cards with scratch offs or instant win tickets. While this can be a fun and inexpensive gift, often these tickets are given to children and young adults under the age of 18. In Ohio lottery players are subject to Ohio laws and commission regulations, and you must be 18 years of age or older to play. Research has found that children who received instant lottery tickets as gifts had an increased risk of compulsive gambling in the future. Donald Weinbaum, executive director of the Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey said, according to NewsWorks, “In compulsive gamblers, the brain circuits show abnormalities. Since they’re still forming in adolescents, the later that a child holds off on gambling of any kind the more protective it’s going to be.” Research from Yale University conducted a survey of 2,000 Connecticut high school students which showed that children who received scratch-off

lottery tickets were more likely to gamble than those who did not, according to YaleNews. Weinbaum said that most problem gamblers start gambling with their family, often at around nine to 10 years Melissa E. old, according to CBS Kaetzel-Cole COMMUNITY PRESS Philly. “It’s really about GUEST COLUMNIST gaming for entertainment and becoming a part of (families’) traditions,” Sandy Lesko Mounts, deputy director of marketing communications for the Ohio Lottery Commission, told Marketing Daily in an article. The Ohio Lottery Commission is hoping that scratch-off lottery tickets just might become a new holiday giftgiving tradition, and they’re investing in a new marketing campaign just in time for the holidays. In the latest television commercial, attendees at a family gathering embrace traditions with differing levels of enthusiasm, but, the commercial asserts: Everyone loves lottery tickets

as a new tradition. This holiday season is an important time for lottery sales, Lesko Mounts told Marketing Daily, explaining that the seven weeks prior to Christmas account for more than 20 percent of the Commission’s instant ticket sales. It seems the Ohio Lottery is doing their part to assure you see giving holiday scratch offs as a new family tradition, but remember most problem gamblers start gambling with their family, often at around 9- to 10-yearsold. So please be a responsible gift giver this holiday season and save the scratch offs for your friends, and loved ones over the age of 18. If you or a loved one has a problem with gambling please call the Clermont Recovery Center at 513-735-8100, or the Ohio problem gambling helpline at 1-800-589-9966. You can follow Clermont county for responsible gambling on Facebook or on Twitter. Melissa E. Kaetzel-Cole is a problem gambling prevention specialist/counselor at Clermont Recovery Center, a division of Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services.

Jump start the New Year’s resolutions As the holidays descend upon us, it is a reminder the New Year is rapidly approaching. For many this means resolutions to get healthier are right around the corner. If this applies to you, get a jump start on this New Year’s resolutions by immediately focusing on improving one’s health. This may sound challenging between the holiday dinners, work parties and shopping to find loved ones the perfect gift. However, with a few simple tricks you can improve your health as the New Year approaches. First, examine your activity pattern and aim to increase the frequency and intensity, or in some cases – begin to incorporate exercise. There are plenty of ways to add activity to one’s daily routine. One simple way is to take the stairs instead of the elevator. This goes for at work or while out shopping at the mall! It is estimated that climbing stairs burns about 10 calories per minute. It also helps to strengthen bones and build the leg muscles. Another simple way to incorporate exercise is walking. You can do this by parking farther away from the entrance door of a mall, workplace, or

even home. You can also plan to walk 20 minutes a day outside, or if the weather is not ideal, walking around the mall is a good alternative. Another fun way Dr. Matthew to get exercise is to Nuesse participate in recreational sports COMMUNITY PRESS GUEST COLUMNIST leagues. There are nearly unlimited numbers of adult basketball, volleyball and soccer leagues throughout the city. Participate in one game and before you know it you will be getting the same level of exercise as you would at the gym. Plus, you will be having fun and meeting new friends at the same time. While working to incorporate activity into your life, also focus on diet. The word “diet” does not refer to a short-term restrictive way of eating that leads to losing a certain amount of weight as quickly as possible. The term “diet” simply means altering the habits you have relating to how you eat. During the holidays many of us eat

much higher calorie diets than we do during the rest of the year. When we get together with family, friends, and co-workers during the holidays we use food to celebrate the times we have together. This is a perfectly acceptable thing to do. There is nothing wrong with eating high calorie meals in moderation. The key word is “moderation.” To counteract these high calorie meals you need to eat more healthy items throughout the rest of the week. For example, eat healthy Monday thru Friday and allow yourself to indulge in moderation during the weekend. Another alternative is to focus on eating healthy at gatherings. To ensure you have nutritious foods on hand, offer to bring a vegetable, fruit, and/or nut tray to the holiday gathering. The holidays are a time to enjoy time with loved ones. Taking care of oneself through activity and diet will help ensure there are many more holidays together! Dr. Matthew Nuesse is a member of the Clermont Coalition for Activity and Nutrition.

FIRST GLANCE AT 2014 HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING

Milford wrestling simplifies approach

By Nick Robbe

nrobbe@communitypress.com

The Milford Eagles return 11 starters from last year and with that kind of experience, head coach Pete Babinec said “everyone has the ability to step out and win for our team.” Milford finished 11-5 last year and third in the Eastern Cincinnati Conference. Babinec has bigger plans for the team this season. “(Our) team goal is to start off February by winning the ECC and moving as many kids as we can right through to the state championships,” he said. “We have simplified and focused our practice plans with a few select team moves allowing individuals to develop their specific strengths.” Wrestlers to watch for the Eagles include seniors Trevor Worley, David Sheldon and Seth Stewart. Milford also returns sophomore Jimmy Murphy. “David Sheldon is currently 6-1 to start the year and off to a good start,” Babinec said. “Stewart has shown up for almost every open mat, lifting or workout session since last March preparing for his senior season.” Worley and Murphy both won more than 20 matches last year. “I believe in every one of them,” Babinec said. Like Milford, the Goshen Warriors return a good portion of their lineup from last season and the even better news is that they are now seniors. Goshen returns seniors Morgan Huff at 106, Trey Atwood at 145, Max Glass at 195, Jacob Moore in the heavyweight slot and Tanner Rahm will wrestle at 152 or 160. Allan Fastavich, who will wrestle at 138, should return from an injury sometime in January, according to head coach Dallas Rise. Huff was a district qualifier last year at 106. Rise couldn’t recall at the time of the interview, but said she is being recruited to wrestle on the collegiate level. Currently, 24 colleges in the country offer a women’s wres-

tling program. Some programs reach as high as the Division II level. Rahm, Atwood and Fastavich all were sectional runnerups. Clermont Northeastern wrestling head coach Scott Wells has said in the past that the Rockets just seem to develop the lower weight classes well. The last CNE wrestler to reach the state tournament was Nick Simpson in 2011, who finished second at 103 pounds with a 46-1 record. CNE returns senior Seth Chambers at 106, among others. Chambers finished in second

place in the Division III sectional tourney and advanced to the district meet. No current information was made available as of press time. Log on to Cincinnati.com for updates throughout the season. McNicholas returns a small contingent of wrestlers after losing five seniors to graduation last year. Despite the low numbers, head coach Craig Moore said the team’s goal is to move as many as four wrestlers on to the district meet. “They have the potential; we’ll just have to see how it goes,” Moore said. “I think it’s a reasonable goal.”

The Rockets return two seniors in Nick Keri at 160 and Ronnie Ehemann at 170. They also return district qualifier in sophomore Rielly Dowell-Howko. McNicholas placed four at a meet in Williamsburg and have a tri-meet coming up against Walnut Hills and Indian Hill. Taking over for the highly successful Jeff Gaier in the Moeller wrestling room is James Yonushonis. He inherits a team that has won the Greater Catholic League-South 12 years in a row and 21 of the last 22 seasons. The Crusaders were also the top-ranked Division I team in the Enquirer’s preseason poll.

Goshen High School’s Trey Atwood was a 2014 Southern Buckeye Conference first-team performer wrestling at 138 pounds.

Yonushonis was previously at Bishop Ready in Columbus. Among those to watch for Crusaders are senior Conner Ziegler, juniors Jacoby Ward, Joe Hensley and Jack Meyer and sophomore Brett Bryant. Meyer made GCL-South first team a year ago at 285 pounds. Ziegler was second team at 120 pounds with Ward making it at 132. Ward and Ziegler were both state participants last February. The Crusaders will be at Harrison High School for the Coaches Classic tourney Dec. 20-21 and finish 2014 at the Powerade Invitational Dec. 28-30 at Canon McMillian High School.

Creager signs with Youngstown State Milford High School senior golf standout Megan Creager has signed a national letter of intent to continue her athletic and academic career at Youngstown State University, beginning with the 2015-16 academic year. Creager made history this fall by becoming the first Milford girls golfer ever to qualify for

the OHSAA state tournament. Creager had another dominating season, finishing her senior campaign as the reigning twotime Eastern Cincinnati Conference Player of the Year. On her way to qualifying for the state championship event, Creager also led the Eagles to the school’s first-team dis-

trict tournament appearance as well. For the year, Creager earned medalist honors at 13 different events and topped all conference players during the regular season with a 37.2 scoring average. At Youngstown State, Creager will play for second-year head coach Nate Miklos. The Penguins finished third in the Horizon

League Championships in his first season and have already won two tournaments in the first half of the 2014-15 season. Creager will become the second former Eagle to currently be playing collegiate golf, joining exteammate Aly Severns who is a freshman this year at Mount Vernon Nazarene University. PROVIDED

‘Wicked’ recipes at ninth annual Mocktails contest Students and visitors sampled non-alcoholic drinks Oct. 29 during Clermont County’s ninth annual Mocktails Contest at University of Cincinnati Clermont East. The contest, hosted by Ohio State University Extension Clermont County and UC East, is an event to raise aware-

ness of responsible choices. Local organizations and student groups participated in the contest by creating nonalcoholic mocktails with a Halloween or fall theme. “Our goal is to promote safety in the community, especially as we go into the holiday sea-

son,” said Kelly Royalty, Clermont Extension’s 4-H youth development educator. Each group was required to incorporate a safety message into their booth display, and the event included a presentation from Skip Phelps, a father whose daughter was in a fatal car acci-

dent. Groups and organizations who participated in the Mocktails Contest included Clermont Recovery Center, Clermont YMCA, OSU Clermont Extension and UC groups including surgical technology, medical assisting and nursing students. Three awards were given out after votes were counted for the Mocktails contest. Judges included Williamsburg Mayor Mary Ann Lefker and UC East staff.

Visitors and UC students participate in the fall-themed ninth annual Clermont County Mocktails Contest Oct. 29 at the UC East campus. Organizations, including Ohio State University Extension Clermont County with "Spooky Cider," are invited to create a non-alcoholic drink, a "mocktail," to promote responsible choices.

Ruth Ann still having problems with fluid in her lung

CE-0000611326

Affordable Rates from $1590 per month!

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Eastgate Village

Howdy folks, Last Wednesday, the Senior Services had the annual retreat at the Stonelick Hills Golf Club. What a place. The club house was beautiful and the service was great, they served breakfast for all. Senior Services does a good job taking care of our aged folks and the ones that need special service. They offer bus transportation to get folks to the Lois Brown Dale Friendship Center. This is where Ruth Ann and I go to talk to the seniors once a month. If you have a need give them a call, the telephone number is 724-1255. Someone will get in touch with you. We went last Friday to the hospital were they took about a quart of fluid off Ruth Ann’s lung. Now have an appointment with a pulmonary doctor. The nurse just called and said Dr. Glaser had an emergency this morning. We are waiting for a call to let us know when we can leave for his office. Saturday we went to Batavia United Methodist Church for their Christmas Bazaar. They had a fine meal. There were lots of fine homemade crafts and a bake sale. After we ate we left for the Milford Garden

Center to be a part of Santa and Mrs. Claus. I asked Ruth Ann if she felt like going George and she Rooks said Ho OLE FISHERMAN Ho! The Forestaires are doing their Christmas Musical at 7 p.m. Dec. 17 at Glen Este Church of Christ on old 74. The Bethel Lions Club had their Christmas dinner at the U.S. Grant Vocational School. There was a good turnout. The food was great. The chef is new, she is doing a great job. We would recommend to eat at the Gallery, it is open to the public on Wednesdays and Thursdays. It is training for students to work in a restaurant. The students did a super job at the Lions Dinner. We were watching the news this morning, there was a commercial about Christmas. I told Ruth Ann about a time when I was a boy my Dad and Mother were on the way home from Goshen. My brother, Frank and I were looking out the back window of the car to see if we could see Santa Claus. Folks, that was years ago, but I still remember. We didn’t have a television only a radio.

We listened to “The Lone Ranger,” “Just Plain Bill,” “The Squeaking Door” and “May Perkins.” A lady told me the other day her mother got her hand caught in the wringer of an old washing machine. At the emergency room a nurse asked her how did you skin up your hand. She said in the wringer on the washing machine, the nurse said “what is that.” About Chester ... that cat is a wonder. He wants to go outside for a while then either come in and lay on Ruth Ann’s lap or lay in the hallway to the basement. Last evening he kept meowing until I let him out, he stayed outside all night. When we got up this morning at 5:30 a.m. he was waiting to get in. We always make coffee, then feed him. He eats a little, then this morning he disappeared. Ruth Ann asked where is Chester, I looked and he was laying on the bed, what a cat. Start your week by going to the house of worship of your choice and praise the Good Lord. God Bless All. More later. George Rooks is a retired park ranger. Rooks served for 28 years with the last five as manager of East Fork State Park.
