BETHEL — The first phase ofwork renovatingBethel’s down-town business district, original-lyestimatedtobecompletedbe-fore the end of the year, is abouthalf done.

It’s been slowed by the holi-days, said village council mem-ber Jim Rees.

“They’ve got to do both sidesof the street for the contract –stormsewers, replace trees andwhere there is any grass re-place it with sidewalk – so thereis a fair amount of work to bedone,” he said.

“I think it’shalfdoneatbest.”Adleta Construction is re-

pairing curbs, gutters, stormdrains and sidewalks on PlaneStreet, from Ash to Mainstreets.

“They’ve done a lot of thetearing out existing curbs andthe work that you don’t see,”Rees said, referring to storm

sewer repairs that take placethree to four feet underground.

“If there’s any cracks theyare fixing them. They are up-

grading so whenthey pour thenew curbs youobviously don’twant to haveleaks.”

Even beforeRees joinedcouncil last yearhe heard com-

plaints about the deterioratedcurbs in Bethel’s downtown.

“There’s no question it need-ed done,” he said.

“In some cases it is blacktopon top of blacktop so your curbwas only a couple inches andthat becomes a safety issue.Meand you and anyone can drivethrough as citizens and see it.You just don’t replace curbs ev-ery year because it’s expen-sive.”

This phase of the projectwillbe funded by an Ohio PublicWorks Commission grant,which officials previously saidrequires a local match of$120,000 of taxpayers’ money.

The village is receiving a ze-ro-percent loan from the statefor the local match.

“You need to do it when the

time is right and the time wasright,” Rees said.

“(The curbs) definitelylooked worn and abused and itwas time to replace them.”

Thenext phase of theprojectwill take place on the other sideof Main Street.

“Part of thatwholeprocess iswe hope to be able to enticemore businesses into the down-town. We don’t need a lot, just afewas it (starts to) lookmoreat-tractive to the retail market,”Rees said.

Grant applications for thesecond phase of renovationswere submitted in August.

“Thegrant iswhatmade it allpossible,” Rees said.

“They kind of say, ‘OK, we’lldo it in phases.’ We still have toapply but it would be unusualthat you wouldn’t get the nextphase.”

Repaving the road will bedone last, and traffic will be di-verted to side streets when thathappens.

“Traffichasbeenmaintainedreasonably well. Of course,there have been some stoppag-es (but)permyviewing, they’vedone a great job of doing whatthey’re supposed to do,” Reessaid.

Curbs like this one on Plane Street have been torn out, but not yet replaced as part of Bethel Council’s planto beautify the village’s downtown.KEITH BIERYGOLICK/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Ted Stevenot, the UnionTownship teaparty leaderwhohad planned to enter the GOPgubernatorialprimary,hasde-cided not to run after all.

His decision came threedays after he gave noticeabout a press conference nextweek that would havelaunched his candidacy forgovernor.

“Though my running mate,Brenda Mack, and I have re-ceived a tremendous outpour-ing of support and encourage-ment since that announce-ment, Ihavedecidednot torunfor governor at this time,” Ste-venot said in a statement lateSaturday.

His statement did not elab-orate on the reasons forhis de-cision. In a text message ex-change on Sunday, he declinedadditional comment.

With the decision, Gov.John Kasich likely escapes aprimary challenge from a teaparty base angrywith some ofhis policies, especially hismove to expand Medicaid inOhio under President BarackObama’s Affordable Care Act.

Democratic gubernatorialcandidate Ed FitzGerald stillfaces a possible primarythreat, with Hamilton CountyCommissioner Todd Portunetraveling the state to explorethe possibility of running forgovernor.

Stevenot, who co-owns aBlueAsh insurancebrokerageand founded the ClermontCounty Tea Party, decided torun for office when state teaparty leaders couldn’t findanyone else willing to chal-lenge Kasich.

“You can say you don’t likeJohn Kasich, but we spent allsummer talking with peoplewho were credible, peoplewith political experience whowe felt should run againstJohn Kasich, and they

wouldn’t do it becauseofpartyrepercussions,” said Tom Za-wistowski, who, like Stevenot,is a former president of theOhio Liberty Coalition. “Tedwas the one who said, ‘I’ll stepup and do it.’ ”

In the statement releasedSaturday, Stevenot said his de-cision came after discussionswith family, friends and advis-ers.

“I do this reluctantly, be-cause I know that part of whathasgonewrongwithourpoliti-cal process is that the twoma-jor parties have made it ex-ceedingly difficult for a com-mon person to run for office,”Stevenot said. “While thismaynot be the right time and racefor me personally, I remainconfident that our movementwill ultimately be successfulin restoring more voting free-dom.”

Kasich is still out of favorwith tea partiers, and theirlack of support may threatenhis re-election. But had Steve-not ended up on the primaryballot, Kasich would havebeenOhio’s first sitting gover-nor to face a primary threatsince 1978.

At the least, the race hadthepotential todivide theGOP

further and force Kasich tospend more money on the pri-mary. Still, party officials didnot try topersuadeStevenot to

Ted Stevenot at a May rally against the IRS. He consideredchallenging Gov. John Kasich. THE ENQUIRER/GARY LANDERS

abandon his plan of run-ning, said Matt Borges,chairman of the OhioGOP. But their continuedsupport ofKasich put Ste-venot at a fundraising dis-advantage.

Stevenot, 48, first gotinvolved in politics in late2009, when he attended aseminar by SouthwestOhio tea party leaderChris Littleton on how tostart a tea party group.

“His primary client issmall-business owners,and he’s watching thesesmall businesses just be-ing regulated and deci-

matedoutofbusiness.Hisheart was broken forthem,” Littleton said.

Stevenot encouragedtea party members to getinvolved in the county’sRepublicanParty, helpingabout a dozen get electedto the county’s centralcommittee and becomingvice chairman of the par-ty himself.

Moving to a new citycan be overwhelming.Where can you get goodpizza or burgers? Whereis the dry cleaner or hard-ware store?

A newSpringdale busi-ness has developed a di-rect mail program thatwelcomes new residentsto theareawithpackets offree gifts fromparticipat-ing local businesses.

“When people move, itcreates a need for allkinds of things, like newcurtains, pizza, a ndw sa-lon, hardware, hair salon,you name it,” said ErinMcDermott, who worksfor NewMoovers.

“Since they’re new tothe area, movers can feellost when trying to re-place businesses relation-ships left behind whenthey moved.

“The best burger placeor dry cleaner in towncould be right down thestreet, and they wouldn’tknow it.”

New Moover helpswith the transition to anew neighborhood by in-troducing new residentsto local businesses.

The businesses who

join the program will of-fer coupons for free stuff,McDermott said.Maybe afree haircut, or free pizza.

“We are not simplycoupons, we are offers,free trials or free sam-ples,” she said.

New Moover, foundedby Frank Grande, whoowns Literature Fulfill-

ment Services, and RikNonelle, CEO of WindowGenie, launched the busi-ness, at 40 W. Crescent-ville Road, in September.

New Moover gathersthe names and addressesof new residents fromchange of address formsat the post office, creditcard records, courthouse

records, deed transac-tions, utility connections,credit bureaus, drivers li-censes, voter registra-tions and magazine sub-scriptions.

“We wanted to developa loyalty program that is acut above the rest,”Grandesaid. “Twentyper-cent of the populationmoves annually andbrand loyalty is often putto the test when peoplemove, which is why mov-ers are twice more likelyto change brands or ser-vice providers than estab-lished residents.

“Movers have manyneeds as they’re gettingsettled in their new homeandare typically unawareof the businesses in theirneighborhood that arethere to fulfill thoseneeds.

“There are so manygreat businesses here inCincinnati,” Grande said,“and our goal is to help in-troduce them to this cap-tive market and assistthem in creating longterm relationships withnew customers.”

McDermott said busi-nesseswhowant topartic-ipate in the program cancontact Bill Rust at 520-5093.

When Chris Daegerwasyoung,hismotherandgrandparents taught himabout gardening and rais-ing houseplants.

They were lessons thatwouldstandDaeger—andultimately visitors to theStanley M. Rowe Arbore-tuminIndianHill – ingoodstead.

“It grew into a hobbywhich later became a live-lihood only because Iwanted to do somethingwhich I liked doing,” saidDaeger, who is arboretummanager of the nine-acrehaven at 4600 MuchmoreRoad.

“Now I run the arbore-tum, grow interestingplants at home inmynurs-ery, design and installlandscapes, andmyhobbyinterest in bonsai hasevolved into a sidelineventure as well.”

Daeger recently washonored for his work atthe Rowe Arboretumwhen the Cincinnati Hor-ticultural Societygave thearboretum a “GardenerRecognition Award,” say-ing its “contribution tohorticulture is an inspira-tion to everyone.”

Daeger, who lives inWilliamsburg Township,said, “It is very nice to benoticed and have the arbo-retum considered worthyof any award.”

“Iguess it’s justme,butI always see plenty ofroomfor improvement - tomake our gardens an evenbetter place for all to en-

joy themany reasons visi-tors come,” Daeger said.

Rowe Arboretum wasdonated to Indian Hill byStanley M. Rowe Sr. andhis wife, Dorothy Snow-den Rowe, who foundedthe arboretum in 1926 andwilled the property to thevillage, effective upontheir deaths.

Dorothy Rowe died in1982 and Stanley Rowe Sr.died in1987, the year Indi-an Hill began operatingthe arboretum.

“I started in1983, beinghired by none other thanStanley M. Rowe himselfas his horticulturist,”Daeger said.

“I can honestly say Itook theprivate estate andturned it into respectablepublic garden.”

Daeger estimates thatup to 2,000 differentplants call Rowe Arbore-tum home.

The arboretum hassome small flowering andvegetable plants but pri-marily showcases treesand shrubs.

“There isn’t anything Idon’t like about the job,”Daeger said.

“Being the only personat the site does mean thatwhatever needs to bedone, I’m involved with it.

“I learned a long timeago that this position re-quires one to do whateverneeds to be done at anytime,” Daeger said.

“It’s justwhat you haveto do, kind of like life ingeneral. Maybe evenmore like being a parent.”

Indian Hill City Man-ager Dina Minneci

praised Daeger’s work atRowe Arboretum.

“Chris does a great jobappreciating the true val-ue of the Rowe family’sgenerous land contribu-tion by keeping a verywell-maintained destina-tion for those who appre-ciate floral beauty andtranquility,”Minneci said.

Daeger owns B.C.Nursery at 4183 stateRoute276 inWilliamsburgTownship and is active inthe Bonsai Society ofGreater Cincinnati andthe American Conifer So-ciety.

He said people fromaround theworldhavevis-ited Rowe Arboretum,which is open daily fromdawn to dusk.

Admission is free, butdonations are appreciat-ed.

Although Indian Hillowns the arboretum, thevillage no longer subsidiz-es it.

Rowe Arboretum is op-erated by a non-profit or-ganization and funded bya Rowe family endow-ment and fundraisers.

Daeger would love totake in enough donations,“so that someday thearbo-retum can be self-suffi-cient and support all thegood things that that col-lections can become.”

To make a donation orbecome a member of theFriends of Rowe Arbore-tum, call 561-5151.

Individual member-ships cost $10 a year andfamilymemberships$25ayear.

MT. WASHINGTON —Ask nicely and she maydo the tongue twistersimilar to her name foryou.

“She sells sea shellsdown by the sea shore,”said a somewhat sheep-ish Corrie Sheshull. TheMcNicholas High Schoolsenior glided throughthe words like so manyidle defenders on thebasketball court. Shesh-ull makes a habit of get-ting around tough situa-tions, serving as pointguard for the Rocketsand landing among theGirls Greater CatholicLeague Coed leaders inassists.

“The word I use onCarrie is ‘warrior,’”McNick head coachGreg Flammer said. “Wedepend on her for somuch. She knows how toget up and down thefloor, how to distribute,how todefend. She reallymakes a lot of good deci-sions for us out there.

“I don’t think you canteach it. She is the samehard-nosed, tough kidwho came in here as a

freshman, only with alltheexperience togowithit now. She’s that player Iknow can get the ballwhere it has to go.”

Sheshull lives in theEastgateareaandplayedher grade-school ball St.Veronica in Mt. Carmel.However, she didn’t be-come a point guard untilshe got to McNick.

“Coach just likes howI run down the floor allthe time,” she said. “Ilike to run it. I just try toget everybody pumpedup. If it’s getting an easybasket off a good pass ormaking a steal and get-ting a layup, that’s a goodway to do it.”

At 5-foot-9 she is bigfor a point guard, givingher a height edge overmany players trying toguard her. Sheshullreadily admits havingHannah Taylor - hercousin and defendingGGCL player of the year-runningalongsideher isanother advantage shelikes to exploit. “I get alot of easy assists be-cause of her,” she said.

Flammer said, “Sheand Hannah have playedtogether so long they arealways in synch,which is

a big help to us. Corriemissed a couple gamesfor us and you could seehow we struggled with-out her, all across theboard. Our numbers justaren’t the same withouther running the show.”

Sheshull also playedsoccer for theRockets inthe fall. She hopes to at-tend the University ofDayton next year, whereshe may study educa-tion. Looking back, herfavorite basketballmemory to date wasbreaking the AndersonHigh School press andscoring the game game-winning basket on a fastbreak with less than twoseconds to play last sea-son. But she’s looking tocreate even better mem-ories to close her career.

“It’sbeenreally funsofar,butwe’vegotmore todo,” she said. “I want togo far in the tournament.(Our seniors) have basi-cally all been playingvarsity together sinceweweresophomores.Wefeel like this is ourchance to make a goodrun.”

BETHEL — The bestthing about the new yearfor Bethel-Tate HighSchool girls basketballcoach Dave Fallis is goodhealth forhis“SisterAct.”

Last season sawBrooke and Julia Jenikeplay together as sopho-more and freshman, re-spectively.

A year older andwiser,2013-14 was looked at as achance to improve on theprevious year’s 10-14mark. Then, in the thirdscrimmage of the fall, ju-nior Brooke Jenike toreanelbowligament.The in-jury kept theLadyTigers’point guard on the benchuntil the end of Decem-ber.

Asaresult,Bethel-Tatestarted the season 2-5 andmuch of the focus was onthe younger Jenike, forc-ing many double-teams.With her sister back, themental and physical pres-sure has lessened.

“She’s so relieved,”Fallis said of Julia Jenike.“You can see it in the wayshe plays. She’s excited tobe playing with her sisteragain. That’s been theirdream.”

In their initial year to-getheronvarsity,JuliaJe-nike averaged 14 pointsper game and Brooke av-eraged 13.2. Without thethreat of Brooke, oppos-ing defenses were able todouble up on Julia andfrustrate the sophomore.

Though she still deliv-eredherpoints, themonthofDecember proved to bequite the educational ex-perience for Julia Jenike.

“It was good for her,”Fallis said. “She under-stands the point guard po-sition isn’t as easy as shethought it was. She did a

great job with it andlearned a lot from it.”

Initially, it was be-lieved Brooke Jenikewould be out until thismonth. Fortunately, shewas able tomake a coupleof cameos in some De-cember games before re-turning “full go” for thewin over Reading.

“We got her two weeksearlier than we thought,”Fallis said. “Everythingwent well. Her pain wentaway. She’s back to fullstrength.”

Now,with the sisters insneakers simultaneously,the Lady Tigers are readyto attack the winterschedule aggressively.

“We’re not as one di-mensional and don’t haveto put our younger kids insituationsasmuch,”Fallissaid. “Anytime you addher (Brooke) into themix,good things are going to

happen.”Adding to the diverse

talents of the Jenikes is 5-foot-7 junior Allison Poe.Though shorter than bothsisters, she exhibits acompetitive edge as shescraps and battles tallerfoes.

“She’s strong, smartand probably has the bestbasketball IQ on ourteam,”Jenikesaid. “We’regoing to be leaning on herin the second half of theseason. We have some bigteams coming into ourhouse. We’ve got Setoncoming in, New Rich-mond coming back andFayetteville.”

A pair of freshmanround out Bethel-Tate’sstarters in Haylee FosterandMorgan Reinhart.

“Haylee’s a guard andMorgan sometimesguards the other team’spost player,” Fallis said.“They went straight intothe frying pan when theseason started.”

Foster also wears theNo. 24 that her cousin,TaylorAtkins,wore atBe-thel-Tate. With two ju-niors, a sophomore andtwo freshmen, Fallis hassome talent to work withbeyond this season.

All fivealsoparticipatein AAU ball in the offsea-son, the most any Bethel-Tate girls team has everhad focusing on basket-ball.

Without question, theearly loss of Brooke Je-nikewasasetback,butop-timism abounds for theremainder of 2014.

“We would like to havesome of those gamesback, but unfortunately,you can only move for-ward,” Fallis said.

To ponder another side ofthe American Civil Warthrough some unique, localart, go visit the Lloyd Li-brary’s “Wounded Home”exhibit.

Seven artists researchedthe library’s holdings of post-war medical encyclopediasand other sources to explainthe wounds of battle with 12original works.

“The Last Supper CivilWar,” a gripping two-dimen-sional presentation by Cincin-nati artist and UC physicianSaad Ghosn is modeled afterLeonardo da Vinci’s “The LastSupper.” Replacing JesusChrist in the middle positionis an angelic Abraham Lincolnencircled in a halo of righ-teousness.

An array of non-notablewounded figures flank theircommander. Union and Con-

federate flagsadorn theborder of thisphotomontage.T

he tablethat wouldhave other-wise con-tained breadand wine isstrewn withweaponry. The

foreground before Lincolnand his disciples are black andwhite photos of wounded thatlay on the battlefield.

“No war is ever as cleanand simple as its principlesmay seem,” Ghosn says of hisinterpretation of war in gener-al and this conflict in partic-ular.

“Even the Civil War with itsnoble outcome, had a veryhigh cost and could have been

avoided.”He has an additional print

and a three-dimensional pres-entation that speaks to thebloody death toll.

Another artist examines anunconventional wound, theone left by the cotton industrybefore it collided with aboli-tion. With “Ode to Cotton”Celene Hawkins reminds howthe plantation South’s chiefsource of wealth was built onthe backs of slaves.

At first a subtle piece, onlybecause it hangs in the formof a chandelier, it comes tolife when one notices thepainstaking detail the artistforged into it.

“I found that the entirehistoric situation [the antebel-lum cotton economy] was anodd blend of myth and reali-ty,” Hawkins told me, “A smallpopulation benefitting from

the masses of another.”She researched the stats,

specs, and sheer size of theindustry, as well as Victorianlighting fixtures. This one, amix of brass, copper, andbronze, includes in detail theactors of the cotton South: theplant in blown glass that en-cases four lights, the boll wee-vil, and a sacrificed sheep.

Additional pieces bringhome the severity and chal-lenges of wounded life fordoctors, wives, and battlefieldvictims.

Kate Kern has placed im-ages of bullet entrances andexits onto upholstery andfashioned it to a period settee,ala “Our Nation Mourns:Wounded Settee.”

Jenny Fine has drawn skindiseases and replicatedwounds from the era onto heroriginal black and white pho-

tos.The exhibit is thought-

provoking. It avoids the typ-ical historical explanations,battlefield summaries, andinstead elicits concern for thedamage, the post-war strug-gles of survivors and widows.

As much as the armchairhistorian or art aficionadomight know about the CivilWar, most have not delved intothe conflict’s medical toll thatcomes out in these presenta-tions, nor have we consideredat length the personal anguishof the wounded.

Many of the pieces are forsale. The exhibit runs throughJan. 20.

Last week’s questionShould Ohio allow online voter

registration, which would allowfor an immediate cross check of li-cense records andhelpprevent ille-gal voting?Why or why not?

“Of course, Ohio should adoptonline voter registration. Thegreater number of people whocan legally vote, themore our re-public is actually democratic!”

TRog

“Ohio and all the other 49states need to introduce voterregistration systems that ensurethat every person domiciled inthe state over the age of 18 yearsis registered to vote.

“I know of no other so calleddemocracy in the developedworld thatworks so hard tomakeit difficult for the less fortunatemembers of society to register tovote.

“This is clearly unconstitu-tional since ‘All men (and wom-en) are created equal’ except inthe eyes of the Republican partywhich isboundanddeterminedtodisenfranchiseasmanyof thepo-tential opposition aspossible.Ap-parently they concede that theycan’t win the policy argument, sothey just want to stack the deckby rigging the electoral role.

“Given the millions of votescast, electoral fraud, while it ex-ists, is so miniscule that it doesnot affect the outcome of elec-tions, but is used as an excuse forall sorts of laws aimed at limitingvoter registration.”

D.R.

“I think so, and why not. Ev-erything else has gone electronicand states should havemore con-trol over the ancient method ofregistration.”

O.H.R.

“The entire fuss over voterregistration is so stupid I justwish someone would do it rightandwecouldall followthe leader.

“The problem with voter reg-istration requirements is that thepoliticalmotivationdrives the ef-forts tomake it harder to registerandvote ifyouarepoor,whichap-parently the Republicans havedecided means you are Demo-cratic.

“Many poor people, particu-larly in the South, don’t have So-cial Security numbers becausethey were born in remote areaswhich didn’t have adequate pub-lic records.

“Others have been displaced,don’t have the transportationnecessary to get the records theyneed, and so on and so forth.

“This question is about onlineregistration and immediatecross-checks.

“That would be an improve-ment, although Ohio’s registra-tion process is pretty easy com-pared to many other states, andthe manipulation that I’m awareof happens at the vote-countingstage, not the registration or vot-ing stage.”

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via e-mail. Send youranswers [email protected] withChatroom in the subject line by 5 p.m. onThursday.

Aswe grow older we arereminded of the importanceof planning ahead – have afinancial plan, a will, powersof attorney, etc. We are oftennot an informed consumerwhen a crisis of a fall or ill-ness happens. The conse-quences can be great.

We baby boomers love todevelop plans for the seniorsin our lives when dramaticchanges occur. Yet, we are indenial about those samechanges to be considered forourselves. The greatest gener-ation, our parents, could alsobe called the “make do” gen-eration because they adjust totheir circumstances as bestthey can without any changes.

But then a crisis occurs,maybe a fall, disease or hospi-talization, we often do notknowwhat we need but doknowwe need it now because

someone iscoming homefrom the hos-pital tomor-row or in afew days. Theitems neededtomodify thehome environ-ment can besignificantandmay notbe covered byinsurance.

These are not itemswe shopfor everyday.We are not fa-miliar with what options areavailable or what they shouldcost. Our need is immediatefor the loved one and therearemany decisions to bemade in a short period oftime.

Where do we turn? TheNational Association of Ho-mebuilders with assistance

Ohio Senate Bill 177, PetProtection Orders, is anexcellent bill, which notonly protects companionanimals, but also createsanother means of a quick,safe exit from a violenthome for battered womenand their children.

In 2006, Susan Walsh’sriveting, personal testimonyspurred Maine’s legislatureinto enacting the nation’sfirst Pet Protection Orders.Her speech also became thecatalyst for states acrossthe nation to also act.

“It wasn’t just the catsand dogs; it was the sheepand the chickens. I was ter-rified for their welfare. Iknew if I were to leave, hewouldn’t hesitate to killthem. He had done it be-fore.” (New York Times,April, 2006)

Since then, 25 states (plusDC and Puerto Rico) havealso quickly authorized PetProtection Orders. Thespeed at which these stateshave legislated this issue

speaks to thecommonunderstand-ing now ofthe powerful,sometimesdeadly, con-nection be-tween inter-personalviolence andanimal cru-elty.

Why is this law neededfor the companion animalsin homes of domestic vio-lence? There is a growingbody of research that showsthe abusive male often usesa threat to the pet to silenceto children about the vio-lence that is occurring inthe home and to restrain thewoman from leaving thehome.

Animal cruelty is a “redflag,” a sentinel behavior, tolook more closely at whatalso might be happeninginside the house or withinthe community. Often wom-en delay leaving a violent

home in order to protecttheir companion animals.

Other women, after hav-ing left the home, return tokeep the animals safe fromharm. Moreover, many in-stances of animal crueltytake place in front of thechildren or women to elicitfear in them and to maintaincontrol over them.

I strongly encourageOhio residents to call theirstate senators and staterepresentatives today insupport of SB 177, Pet Pro-tection Orders. Act today.

This bill has failed in theOhio General Assemblybefore. Why should a wom-an in Ohio have to choosebetween her own safety andthe safety of her companionanimal?

JANUARY 9, 2014 • BETHEL JOURNAL • B3LIFE

I was flipping throughmy gourmet food maga-zines and two items kept

popping upas “new-bies” for2014. Oneis the herbfennel, inparticularbronzefennel. Ihad tochucklesince I’vegrown both

green fennel, which pro-duces a delicious bulb,and also bronze, which isgrown for its leaves andseeds, for years.

Fennel contains vita-min C and potassium,good for immune andnervous systems, and theheart. In fact, I just fea-tured a fennel/garliccrust on pork roast on mycable show “Love Startsin the Kitchen.” Watch iton TimeWarner localaccess.

The other trend iskale, but not the old-fashioned curly kale likeGrandma grew. Kalevarieties are almost end-less. You’ll find lots ofrecipes, including thetwo I mention in my pizzarecipe. Kale is an easycool crop, so grow somecome spring.

I’d also like to issue aformal invitation for youto share your favoriterecipes and tips alongwith the story that goeswith them. I’m not partic-ular, so whatever you liketo cook, whether it’sfancy, plain or in be-tween is fine by me. Ifyou send along a photo,so much the better!

Whole wheat pizzawith garlic, greensand two cheeses

We grow kale, includ-ing Locinato/Tuscan/Dinoand Russian kale. Bothare milder tasting thancurly kale. Mixing kalewith Swiss chard or spin-ach tones down the tasteof kale. Greens like thesecontain nutrients essen-tial for tissue growth andrepair, and even yourpicky eaters will likethis. You can use justchard or spinach if you

like.

1pre-baked 12 oz. Boboliwhole wheat pizza shell

2-3 teaspoons finely mincedgarlic

3-4 tablespoons extra virginolive oil

Pizza sauce to coverEnough small Swiss chard orspinach and kale leaves tocover (or large leaves,chopped)

6-8 oz. Fontina cheese,shredded

3-4 oz. crumbled goatcheese

Optional: Sliced tomatoes,chives

Preheat oven to 450degrees. Stir garlic intoolive oil. Brush overcrust. Top with pizzasauce and greens, over-lapping leaves so entiresurface is covered.Sprinkle with cheeses.Slice cherry or regulartomatoes and lay on top ifyou like. Bake 10 minutesor until cheese melts.

Tips from Rita’skitchen

Substitute Gorgonzolafor goat cheese.

Priscilla Pancoast’sheirloom cornpudding

Wow – talk about lotsof requests for this! Theoriginal recipe camefrom Priscilla’s mother’scousin, who was fromNiles, Ohio. “This almosthas a cult following,” saidPriscilla. Check out myblog for more corn pud-ding recipes, includingthe famous BeaumontInn’s corn pudding, alongwith an old-fashionedversion of this treasuredside dish.

2 eggs1 stick of butter1 packageJiffy corn muffin mix

8 oz. grated cheddar8 oz. sour cream1 can yellow corn with juice,approximately 15 oz.

1 can cream-style corn,approximately 15 oz.

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Melt butter,beat eggs slightly, thenmix everything togetherand put in greased 21/2quart casserole and bakefor about 45 minutes.

Tips from readers’kitchens

Add extra flavor tobox cakes. NancyMauch, a Clermont Coun-ty reader and mom of myformer editor, LisaMauch, shares this tip:For box cakes, substitutemilk or juice for liquidcalled for. “Adds anotherelement of flavor,” Nan-cy said.

Buying blue cheesein bulk. Dave, a loyalreader, said he found afive-pound bag of bluecheese crumbles at GFS(Gordon Food Service)for $19. He made batchesof Nell Wilson’s bluecheese dressing and waslooking for an affordableway to do it.

Tomato preserverecipe a big hit. Lana

Kay, a Northern Ken-tucky reader, made myaunt Margaret’s recipelast summer. “I was sur-prised howmany peoplehad never tasted them,”she said. Lana shared itwith an Amish vendor ata farmer’s market and I

have no doubt it willbecome a big seller. To-mato preserves are an-other trendy, but reallyold-fashioned, condimentthat chefs will be featur-ing this year.

When the ClermontCountyBoard ofDevelop-mental Disabilities volun-teered to take on the roleof managing a VolunteerReception Center when-ever a disaster occurs inthe county they had noidea they would actuallybe activated.

Staff from ClermontCountyBoard ofDevelop-mental Disabilities, aswell as some of their com-munity partners, had tak-en training to become aVolunteer Reception Cen-ter just eight months be-fore the 2012 tornado hitthe southern half of Cler-mont County.

During the week afterthestorm,stafffromCler-montCountyBoard ofDe-velopmental Disabilitiesopened the Volunteer Re-ception Center and regis-tered more than 1,100 vol-unteers who worked in

two donation manage-ment sites as well as inMoscow, Tate, Monroe,and Franklin Townships.

Going through an ac-tive disaster gave Cler-montCountyBoard ofDe-velopmental Disabilitiesstaff the opportunity tolearn about how devastat-ingthiscanbeforcommu-nity friends,howhardandhow quickly emergencyservices departmentswork to restore a sense ofnormalcy in the areas hit,and how many kind peo-ple comefrommilesawayto help wherever theycan, foras long theyareasneeded.

In themonths after thetornado,ClermontCountyBoard of DevelopmentalDisabilities stayed activewith the Ohio Valley LongTerm Recovery Commit-tee to offer assistance.

Howdy Folks,On Christmas Eve the

services at the BethelUnitedMethodist Churchwere at 6 and11p.m. weattended the 6 p.m. ser-vice and by11p.m. therewas some snoring at ourhouse! There was a goodattendance at these ser-vices with communionand candlelight as wesang Silent Night.

Christmasmorning wewent to our daughterDebby’s and Bobby’s forbreakfast along with ourgranddaughters and theirhusbands and of coursethemost special one, ourgreat granddaughterBrooklyn.

Brooklyn wasmore

interestedin presentsthan ineatingbreakfast.Afterbreakfastwe went towatch thegirls andtheir fam-ilies open

their gifts. Brooklyn washelping herMom, Dad,AuntMichelle and UncleBrad along with openingher own. On Christmasnight our daughter Pau-line, Ralph and Curtisjoined us there at Debbyand Bobby’s again forsupper and opening ourgifts to each other. Every-

one got plenty of gifts andattention.

Saturday evening ourgrandson Ralph and hiswife Kayla and our greatgrandson Ralphie camehere to have Christmaswith us, as they went tohermother’s for Christ-mas. Our great-grandsonreally enjoyed playingwith Chester the kitten.Ralphie would runthrough the house andChester would hide andjump up at him.

While I was eatingbreakfast the other day Isaw a pileated wood-pecker in a tree in ourneighbor’s woods. Theyare so beautiful and big.You can tell if it is the big

one instead of a regularwoodpecker by the soundtheymake pecking.

Wewent toWalmart toget some itemsMondayand was talking to ayoung feller that said hewas fishing in East ForkLake last Saturday andhad a new experience. Hesaid he had a line out by alimbwith a cork on it anda fish came up and got thecork and took it down. Hesaid he lifted the line upjigging theminnow on thejig and the fish swallowedthe hook. He was sur-prised to find that a 12inch crappie had swal-lowed this jig and had bitand pulled down the cork.This is unusual to happen

but strange things happento folks.

I was talking toMikeat the Boars Head BaitShop in Afton this morn-ing ( NewYear’s Eve). Hesaid this is the last daythis year he was workingandmaybe he wouldcome back to work nextyear! He said there wereseveral folks that wentfishing last Saturday andcaught several crappie.But fewwere big ones, itwill be interesting comespring for crappie fishing.

We had a bed of lategreen onions out and thedeer ate the tops off. Iwonder if themeat wouldtaste like onion. That isthe first time they havedone this.

I have been working inthe shopmaking a tripodof bamboo for lima beansthis year. They will bethree bamboo six feetlong with a top to holdthem together. This willmake a dandy item forlima beans to grow on andeasy to pick, instead ofletting them grow and layon the ground.

I have been doing a lotof walking each day, thecardiologist said I neededto do a lot of walking

since I had completedrehab so I am doing this.

The birds are reallyfeeding at the feeders. Itseems we need to fill eachone at least twice eachweek and the suet blockssure get a lot of attention.When I fill the feederswhat is left in the bottomI dump on the ground andthe crows have been eat-ing the small seeds I havecounted three crows sofar.

This time of the yearthe food supply for thebirds and squirrels is inshort supply so we keepfeed out for all of them.We enjoy watching theactivity of each of them.Have you noticed thebeauty of the cardinalswhen the snow is on thebushes and ground andhow bright the red headedwoodpeckers look, thebeauty of all birds.

Start your week bygoing to the house ofworship of your choiceand praise the Good Lord.God Bless All More Later.
