The lives of two teachers, one retired,and one who gave up her classroom to bea stay-at-home mom, have a lot more incommon than being the author and illus-trator of a newly published children’sbook, “The Best Second Day of School,Ever!’

Cheryl Sauls Taylor of Amelia, retiredfrom teaching kindergarten in WestClermont Schools, longed to write chil-dren’s books; Alyson Iannitti Marden ofHyde Park left the art room at SummitCountry Day Schools to raise her chil-dren and was looking for a creative out-let.

Their pathways crossed for a secondtime several years ago when Sauls’sgrandchildren kept exclaiming howmuch they liked their art teacher, Ms.Iannitti. The name seemed familiar toSauls so she got on the school’s websiteand, sure enough, Iannitti was the sameAlyson “Aly” Iannitti who was a studentin her kindergarten class in 1985.

The two bonded again, but this time asadults, through Sauls grandchildren’sschool events. On one occasion, Saulsmentioned she had written a children’sbook and asked Iannitti if she would liketo illustrate it.

“I jumped at the chance. Cheryl wasone of my favorite teachers,” Iannitti,now married and a mother of two, said.Sauls smiles because it explains why af-ter graduating kindergarten “Aly” con-tinued showing up in her classroom toread to students or help with projects.

“It’s nice to reconnect with my ‘littlesister’ and build a friendship and busi-ness relationship as adult women,” Saulsadds. Iannitti isn’t the only former stu-dent involved with the book - SamanthaShroyer edited it for them.

Not only have Sauls and Iannitti pub-lished a book together, they also haveformed a business, Best Day Books, andplan to publish more “Best Day” booksfeaturing situations that teach childrenhow to make friends, be kind to others,appreciate differences, avoid bullying,and cope with separation anxiety. Theyvisit schools, churches, libraries, busi-nesses, and other public and civic placesreading their book and relating their per-sonal stories and experiences with oth-ers.

Both agree they are again havingsome of the “Best Days” of their lives to-gether.

“We have a three pillarprogram of graduate, fitfor life, and ready toserve,” said Terri Less-nau, development man-ager, Boys & Girls Club ofClermont County. “Wehave three very good ju-nior youth of the year.They have shown out-standing skills in all threeof those categories.”

Britton Martin, direc-tor of the club in Cler-

mont County since April,has seen all three live outthose three main pillarsand more.

“They have excelled inliving up to the standardsof what we try to makehappen here at the club,”said Martin, who has beenwith Boys & Girls Clubsfor more than 10 years.“They’ve been a great ex-ample to their peers.”

Martin recognizesmiddle school is one ofthose tough transitionalstages in the life of ourchildren. He’s seen thesethree kids utilize the re-sources of the club to helpnavigate the transitionfor themselves and forothers. Ruth Tvrdy hasyounger siblings she putsahead of herself.

“I think of her first andforemost as an older sis-

ter,” Martin said. “Shemakes sure they have ev-erything they need. She isa good positive role mod-el.”

Martin cited Tvrdy’sfocus on her school work,swim team, and use offree time to help others assome of her outstandingtraits. She often assiststhe staff in any ways shecan. Like the Tvrdy, Jere-miah Myers has shownextraordinary leadershipamong his peers at Glen

Este, and the Club isproud to have him as a Ju-nior Youth of the Yearrepresentative. Theirkindness toward othersstands out, especially forKylie Haley.

“She’s very kind to ev-eryone,” Martin said.“She’s a friend to every-one. Kylie really looks foropportunities to serveand be kind to others.”

Scott Mueller, leaderof the Club at AmeliaHigh School, shared onestory of the kindnessdemonstrated by Haley.She was selected to go outand “Shop with a Bengal”Dec. 14. It is a special pro-gram where Bengal play-ers take some kids out ona Christmas shoppingspree to spend hundredsof dollars. When toldabout being chosen, shetried to decline, insteadsuggesting pulling tagsfrom the giving tree andusing her “Shop with aBengal” trip to buy thingsfor someone more inneed.

“You understand why Ipicked your daughter,”Mueller said to her par-ents. “This is exactly

what I want all the otherkids to see. It made tearswell; I can’t stop tellingpeople the story.”

Kylie Haley did useher “Shop with a Bengal”night to buy gifts for oth-ers in need. She, Myersand Tvrdy won’t qualifythis year for “Youth of theYear” program, which isaimed more toward ju-nior and senior highschool students. All threewill be recognized for thehonor of being named Ju-nior Youth of the Year atthe Boys & Girls Club ofClermont County break-fast held at New Rich-mond in January.

An opportunity to gothrough learning strong-er leadership skills, tak-ing a class on publicspeaking, team buildingexercises, and other ac-tivities will highlight thecoming year for them.They’ll be there to seeand hear all the youthsspeak. It’ll be a great ex-ample for them hearingthe older high school kidstalk about what the Boys& Girls Club has meant tothem.

“That’s cool for thosekids to get see that, hearthat,” Martin said. “Hope-fully it puts them on thesame path those youthare on. This is a chancefor them to be recognizedin front of other youths ofthe year.”

Clermont County Pub-lic Health is partneringwith Dr. Gwendolyn Stef-fen from Henehan AnimalHospital in Milford andClermont to the RescueHumane Society to offer alow-cost rabies vaccina-tion clinic.

The clinic will be 2 p.m.to 5 p.m. Saturday Jan. 30,at Live Oaks Campus,5956 Buckwheat Road,Milford.

“Only about 45 percentof dogs and less than 20percent of cats in Cler-mont County are currenton their rabies shots,”said Rob Perry, directorof the environmentalhealth division with Cler-mont County PublicHealth. “We hope to in-crease that number withthis clinic, where pet own-ers can vaccinate their

pets at a cost of only $5(cash),” Perry said.

In order to receive ashot animals must be ingood health and must beleashed or in a carrier. Athree-year vaccinationcan be obtained with doc-umentation of vaccina-tion status. Without docu-mentation, an animal willreceive a one year vacci-nation. In addition to thevaccinations, Clermont tothe Rescue Animal Shel-ter will be selling 2016 doglicenses, for $16.75 (cashor check only).

“While cases of rabiesin humans and domesticanimals are rare in Ohioand the U.S., the virus ispresent in the local wild-life population. In 2015, 20bats and six raccoons test-ed positive for rabies inOhio,” Perry said.

Hah - remember last weekwhen I was harvesting greensfrom my window boxes? Well,

with the ther-mometer read-ing 6 degreesthis morning, Idon’t have to tellyou that I won’tbe harvestingany more greensfrom them.

Oh well, be-fore too long I’llbe thumbingthrough the seed

catalogs which arrive daily,thinking thoughts of spring.Yes, it’s a long way off, butSuper Bowl isn’t. I wanted toshare a couple of fun and yum-my recipes to make your SuperBowl party memorable.

We always have a big crowdat our house, and it’s a traditionfor me to make homemadeglazed donuts. That recipe,with photos of happy little souschefs, is on my Abouteating.com site.

Readers want to knowNatural and Dutch cocoa -

what’s the diff? Without get-ting too technical, the differ-ence is acid.

Natural cocoa powder: themore common one, is cocoathat does not have its acidstripped. It’s a light cocoa colorwith a bitter flavor.

Dutch processed/alkalized:is a darker color due to a potas-sium solution that neutralizesthe acidity. It has a mellower,less bitter flavor. How to sub-stitute in recipes: check outAbouteating.com

Guru in our backyard: Greg’s 2 ingredient buttermilkranch wings

I met Greg Grisanti, Frisch’s chef for research and development, at aveterans’ garden event last summer. We found we had many similar in-terests when it comes to food. We both like to garden and experiment withnatural foods.

Greg lives in Clermont county with his family and is a graduate of St.Xavier high. He went on to become a classically trained chef at Johnson &Wales University. Alumni include Tyler Florence and Emeril Lagasse, both ofwhom I’ve worked with, and I put Greg right up there with them, talentwise. He’s lots of fun to cook with, and humble, too. “I prefer to call myselfa good cook”, he said. His research knowledge shows in the recipes hedevelops and fine tunes for the restaurants. Like using real lard in their piesand making 80% of their items from scratch.

Greg was a guest on my cable show and he featured recipes madewith Frisch’s ingredients. I wanted party food that was easy and delish. Wewere both happy with these wings, which I’m now addicted to. I think you’llbe making them often, too. You’ll use 2 out of 3 of the wing parts. Here’smy slight adaptation.

3 dozen or so chicken wings, cut into 3’s (save small pointed wingjoint for stock)

16 oz. jar of Frisch’s buttermilk ranch dressingOptional add-ins: chipotle pepper sauce, ground cayenne, garlic

Preheat oven to 375.Place wings in a 2 gallon baggie. Pour in dressing, squeeze air out, and

seal. Gently massage bag to incorporate dressing with wings. Marinate forseveral hours in the refrigerator; overnight is best. Remove wings from bagand put in a colander to remove excess dressing. (Now I did not remove thedressing; I just poured the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet). Placewings on sprayed cookie sheet and bake 40 minutes or so, depending on thesize of the wings, until cooked through and golden brown.

Serve with Frisch’s blue cheese dressing as a dipping sauce along withcelery sticks if you like.

Baked jalapeno poppers

Perfect party food with a spicy bite. A perennial fave.

1 pound nice size jalapenos, halved and seeded

Filling:

8 oz. cream cheese1 cup shredded sharp cheddar1 cup shredded Jack cheese6 bacon strips, cooked crisp and crumbled1/2 teaspoon garlic powderSalt to tasteBreadcrumbs, regular or Panko

Preheat oven to 325. Blend everything but breadcrumbs together.Put about 2 tablespoons into each half and roll in crumbs. Place onsprayed baking pan and bake for 20 to 35 minutes. The longer you bakethem, the milder they become.

A publication of

Over the past month or so,Goshen Police, like many othercommunities, have reportedabout a dozen or so break-insof automobiles.

Traditionally about 20 per-cent of our crime here andother communities locallyresult from what officers callthe “smash and grab.” It seemsaround the holidays our casesincrease and then drop offafter January then increaseagain after April.

Generally it takes just abouta minute for thieves to get inyour car and remove yourvaluables. If the car is leftopen they just open the door; if

locked, theysmash thewindow. Theyuse a varietyof tools to gainentry fromrocks, ham-mers, screwdrivers, evenspark plugs tobreak theglass.

Though itmay seem impossible there aresome common rules to helpprotect yourself from thesetypes of crimes.

» Always park your car in alocked garage, if possible. If

not, park under a night light orclose to the door way of a busi-ness, apartment complex oryour home. Heavy traffic areaparking is safer for keepingthieves away.

» Always lock your car androll up the windows, tightly.This is called hardening thetarget. The more difficult youmake it for the thieves themore likely they go to a softertarget or unlocked doors.

» Locally the majority ofthese crimes occur at night orjust after dark. Remove allproperty from the interior ofthe car, such as GPS systems,IPad, lap top computers, coins

and cash, clothes and coats,jackets, sporting equipmentand so on. Personal propertyshould be taken in-doors orstored in a locked trunk everytime you park your car. Gloveboxes are easy to break even iflocked. Thieves know they areeasy to open yet give the carowner a secure feeling. Sodon’t give them anything tosteal.

» For those using a portableGPS, some recommend to car-ry wet-wipes and clean thesuction cup marks off thewindshield.

» Citizens up, or gettingawakened at night to noise or

especially breaking glass,should call 9-1-1 immediatelyand report. This alerts policeand they start moving towardyour home or location rightaway. Never investigate fullybefore calling police; as I saidearlier it only takes a minute toget in your car and take per-sonal property. You can alwayscall off the police once the“start toward me” call is made.

» Finally never touch oropen a car or vehicle suspectedof being tapered with; untilpolice examine for evidencefirst. Be safe!

Rick Combs is GoshenTownship police chief.

Make vehicles less inviting target for thieves

Rick Combs COMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Jan. 14 questionWhat changes, if any, would

you make to the primary systemfor choosing presidential candi-dates?

“Not necessarily limited tothe primary system, rather ourentire election system, I wouldmake the whole thing shorter.My proposal would state thatthe ‘election cycle’ will start nomore than three months prior tothe election. One week to regis-ter as a candidate, one week toBS the public via media, twoweeks to hold the primaries (allof them), two months to furtherstate your case to the votingpublic including one debate permonth, one day off and then theelection is held. One additionalrefinement to this incrediblypractical plan would be that po-litical ads would be run on onespecial channel only, 24/7. Ifpeople want to hear all the BSthey can choose to turn on thatchannel for enlightenment.

“Oh, two more terrific re-finements that I know you willlove, they are beautiful: 1) Termlimits. Two terms and done,then go get a real job like therest of us. 2) No pensions, nocontinued salary for life, no spe-cial health care program otherthan those offered to commonfolks. It is called public servicefor a reason.”

M.J.F.

Jan. 7 questionWhat is the best way to handle

the Syrian refugee situation?

“The United States shouldnot allow Syrian refugees to en-ter the US at this time. Almosteveryday there are criminal ac-tivities in the US and Europe in-volving Syrian refugees. Muchof such activity happening inEurope at the present time isnot being widely reported.

“It is estimated that it coststhe FBI and Department ofHomeland Security $60,000 -$70,000 to screen each refugeeand the Agencies state they areunable to do so sufficiently to beassured that the refugees arenot terrorist risks. It is also esti-mated that 90-plus percent of allrecent refugees coming to theUS are on food stamps and 70percent received cash welfareand government funded healthcare. The US can ill afford thecost and terrorist threatbrought about by the refugeesituation. Our national debt isunsustainable. There are manyproblems in the country be-cause of our difficult fiscal situ-ation that are not being ad-dressed, and our law enforce-ment agencies are overextend-ed because of terrorist

investigations, of which refu-gees are a significant part.

“Two major responsibilitiesof our elected politicians are toprovide for the safety/securityof the populace and to be re-sponsible stewards of our taxdollars. On Nov. 17, the OhioHouse of Representatives over-whelmingly passed a resolutionthat read in part: ‘RESOLVED,That we, the members of the131st General Assembly of theState of Ohio urge the Presidentof the United States to preventthe resettlement of Syrian refu-gees into the State of Ohio aswell as the United States ofAmerica.’ This resolution wassent to the President, the Secre-tary of Homeland Security andother Federal Government offi-cials. It was a disappointment tolearn that State Rep. Tom Brink-man, who represents Ohio Dis-trict 27, which includes Ander-son Township, voted againstthis resolution. He was the onlyRepublican representative todo so.’

J.E.D.

“The United States must takea leadership role to bring worldpowers together to establishsafe zone(s) within the Syrianrefugees’ homeland providing asafe haven from enemies. In-volve the UN in policing thesesafe zones to protect refugeeswhile not jeopardizing anyAmerican on American soil.This process would also make iteasy for refugees to reclaimtheir homeland when the crisisends.

“The U.S. must step up ourleadership role in working withall parties to find a political so-lution to the Syrian War. It willrequire moral leaders, with thepolitical will, working fromstrength to end this war. Politicsmust be removed from the proc-ess, e.g., the ‘political class’ whodo not have the political will tofind a real solution. There is noplace for the ill informed andothers that have hidden agen-das, including the likes of ourown current state representa-tive from District 27, Mr. TomBrinkman, who voted against a

referendum (H.C.R. No. 31), de-signed to send a message toPresident Obama to keep Syrianrefugees out of the USA andOhio.

“With the vast majority ofcitizens being against bringingSyrian refugees to America,why does so many of the politi-cal class keep pushing forward?On the surface none of thisseems to makes sense, especial-ly considering recent reports ofSyrian refugees, here andabroad, being arrested for sus-pected terror activity or othercharges such as rape as in Ger-many.

Without doubt, this is a hu-manitarian issue; however isthere something far more sinis-ter. What about the money trail?Who is in line to gain from Syri-ans refugees coming to Ameri-ca?”

M.W.N.

“With current immigrationnumbers already at a recordhigh, with surging deficits, aweak economy and increasingterror threats, allowing refu-gees into our country that theFBI and officials at the Depart-ment of Homeland Security ad-mit can not be properly vetted,is just crazy.

“What seems just as crazy isthat one of our State Reps, TomBrinkman Jr. voted to allowthem in. In a November OhioHouse vote, Mr. Brinkman wasthe only ‘no’ on a resolution tourge President Obama to pre-vent the resettlement of Syrianrefugees to the United States orto Ohio. As the 1999 founder ofCOAST (Coalition Opposed toAdditional Spending and Tax-es), one would think Mr. Brink-man would have done his home-work. If he did, he would havefound that 97 percent of recentMiddle Eastern refugees are onsome form of government assis-tance, 91 percent are on foodstamps and 73 percent receivefree health care. He would havediscovered that admitting theplanned 85,000 refugees willcost taxpayers $55 billion. Vot-ing against something thatwould help keep Ohioans safeand would keep from addingeven more to our country's cur-rent deficit is not how an electedofficial should be representinghis constituents.

‘I also read that the CatholicCharities stand to make mil-lions off of the influx of refu-gees, but I'll save my com-plaints about that for anothertime.”

LADB

“Accept that you have no realcontrol over it. Love thy neigh-bor, but watch your back.”

Rachael Kramer

”We should remember thatafter the Vietnam war Americaresettled over 800,000 Vietnam-ese refugees ... 1.3 million wereresettled worldwide ... and atthe time similar argumentswere made ... that they may beNorth Vietnamese ... that theyare enemies ... that we can’t af-ford to resettle them. I workedin that program both in the U.S.and in the refugee camp in Indo-nesia. Today it’s almost unimag-inable that we had those fears ...most of the refugees became fi-nancially independent veryquickly ... many opened busi-nesses, they improved many ofthe neighborhoods they wereresettled into ... often bringingback to life areas of our citiesthat were dying out ... their chil-dren are now college graduates,skilled workers, restaurant andsmall business owners, profes-sionals in every field and all arenow part of our American cul-ture ... and none of the fearscame true.”

Jay Brandt

“Join with many other na-tions of the world to create asafe haven in their own part ofthe world for them to live, workand form their own way of life.”

Gary Griesser

“Absolutely! When 90 per-cent or more of them are menwho are alone and b/t 15-50, theyshould be staying in their owncountries, fighting for theircountry.”

Kathy Mills

“You are right, Kathy. Why inthe world are they coming hereinstead of fighting to take theircountry back. Maybe a nefar-ious reason?”

Suzanne Patterson

“I have heard on the GlennBeck program that a lot of refu-gees moving into the stateshave been sponsored by Chris-tian charities. However thesewere charities that have a rela-tionship with these refugeesand worked with them. Fromwhat I have also read is thefactthat most of the refugees havebeen middle-aged men. Thoserefugees should stay home andfight those that are causingthem to flee.”

Eddie Horgan

“Here’s how the processworks ... it took over a year totwo years when I was doing theprocessing ... it’s much morestringent now, more securityagencies are involved ... and ourresources are much greater:

“Before refugees face U.S.screening, they must get a re-ferral from the United NationsHigh Commissioner for Refu-

gees (or occasionally a U.S. em-bassy or another NGO). The UNrefers about 1 percent of refu-gees for resettlement throughits own vetting process, whichtakes four to 10 months. Duringthat process, UN officials de-cide if people actually qualify asrefugees, if they require reset-tlement, and which countrywould accept them.

“Once the cases are passedalong to the United States, therefugees undergo securityclearances. Their names, bio-graphical information and fin-gerprints are run through fed-eral terrorism and criminaldatabases. Meanwhile, the refu-gees are interviewed by De-partment of Homeland Securityofficials. If approved, they thenundergo a medical screening, amatch with sponsor agencies,“cultural orientation” classesand one final security clear-ance.

“Syrian refugees in particu-lar must clear one additionalhurdle. Their documents areplaced under extra scrutiny andcross-referenced with classi-fied and unclassified informa-tion.

“The process typically takesone to two years or longer andhappens before a refugee evergets onto American soil.”

Jay Brandt

“I would take care of ourhomeless people first who areAmericans. I have nothingagainst Syrians, but we reallyneed to care for our own peo-ple.”

John Scales

“Send them elsewhere.”Tony Goins Sr.

SHORT HOPS

Scott Springer and Nick RobbeCommunity Press staff

BETHEL - After spinning a 1-22 teamin 2013 to a winning record last year, Be-thel-Tate High School basketball coachTom Jutze has bigger plans for his Tigersof 2016.

A 7-2 start to the first portion of theseason has them on pace to surpass lastyear’s total of 12 wins.

Jutze is doing it again with a team thatis relatively young, but with some varsi-ty experience under their belt from lastseason’s grind.

“We have a boatload of juniors, onesophomore and four seniors,” Jutze said.“The juniors are the catalysts of this pro-gram.”

The Tigers’ top four scorers are all ju-niors: Trenton Weeks, Tommy Binga-mon, Noah Pickleheimer and Jake Stolz.Bingamon was a big contributor as asophomore and now averages around 15points per game. Weeks has had the mostdramatic improvement going from fourto 18 points per game with his left-hand-ed release.

“He’s really uncanny sometimes theway he gets into the mojo,” Jutze said.“He’s always around the rim and has agreat shot.”

Pickleheimer and Stolz are around sixpoints per contest, with the 6-foot-2, 240-pound Stolz manning the middle. Binga-mon and reserves Blake Combs and Ja-cob Reinhardt are the tallest Tigers at 6-foot-3, but Stolz makes his presenceknown.

“He does some good things for us,”Jutze said. “He is a wide body and hassome good post moves. When he blocksout and gets position on people, he prettymuch can do something with the basket-ball.”

The team tries to play fast getting theball out in transition on outlet passes.The veteran coach urges them to go hardand then come out when they need abreather.

Senior Evan Iding’s cross country andsoccer running surely comes in handywith this style. One noticeable differ-ence in this year’s statistics though is Id-ing’s scoring is down a few buckets.

On the other hand, the senior 6-foot-2guard is second on the team in rebound-ing and leads in steals and assists. Inthose three categories, his numbers areup over a year ago.

“Evan’s like Adam Shinkle (lastyear),” Jutze said. “He’s in everythingaround the school. He’s in multiplesports. He’s our team leader and one ofthe captains and overall good in every-thing he does.”

The 2016 leg of the schedule is a littlemore aggressive and the Tigers will like-

ly be in for a few tough ones in Januaryas they get more into the Southern Buck-eye Conference-National Divisionmatchups.

“Georgetown’s not going to relinquishthat championship,” Jutze said.“Blanchester, Williamsburg and CNE

are always tough. I think there’s a lot ofparity this year and there will be a lot ofclose games.”

The Tigers will try to avenge an earli-er loss to the G-Men of Georgetown Jan.22, then travel cross-county in an at-tempt to sweep Felicity-Franklin Jan. 26.

MT. WASHINGTON - McNicholassenior Matthew Massie was averagingright around 200 pins per game earlierthis season. Following the Holiday Clas-sic Dec. 12, however, he slid back underthat average to the 190s.

At least for now, the upperclassmanappears to be getting back on track. Hetook a major step toward getting backinto the 200s Jan. 14 against Alter. He seta new school record with a 487 series, anaverage of 243.5.

He was instrumental in helping theRockets come from behind to beat theKnights at Cherry Grove Lanes.

“When you start traveling, everyplace you go has a different shot, differ-ent oil pattern and it’s hard to adjust,”coach Brian Combs said. “He wentthrough a little bit of a slump there andhis average might’ve dropped about 10pins. He’s coming back though.”

Combs said the senior’s midseasonslump could be linked to his style ofbowling. As a two-handed bowler, more

spin and power are added to the ball.If Massie doesn’t pick up a strike, it

could be harder for him to pick up thespare because he doesn’t have as muchcontrol over the ball.

When he sees that happen, he couldget frustrated and that leads to mentalmistakes.

On the other hand, his style couldlend itself to more strikes because hemight get strikes one-handed bowlerswon’t, thus leading to bigger games.

The latter is the way things havegone for him lately. In the Badin matchJan. 13, he was right on the nose at 200.Of course, he followed that up with hisrecord-breaking series.

These next few weeks are crucial forthe Rockets if they want to achieve theirgoal of winning a league title.

They have four matches left and allof them are league games. Massie andhis fellow seniors need to be on top oftheir games.

“If he can carry the way he’s playingfor the next few weeks, we’ll be in goodshape,” Combs said.

Students interested in a ca-reer in athletics management –whether working with NFLplayers or running a countryclub – can get their start at UCClermont. The college has justadded several introductorycourses in pre-sports administra-tion to its offerings, with theoption for students of workingtoward an associate’s degreewith a focus in the area.

Students can also easily trans-fer their credits toward earningtheir bachelor’s and master’sdegrees in sports administrationon main campus.

“We work collaborativelywith the sports administrationprogram at main campus withour offerings so that courses

taken at Clermont transfer intoUC’s program,” said Andy Hur-ley, academic coordinator for theprogram, which is housed withinthe Business, Law and Technol-ogy Department. “Our role is toexpose students to the careeralternatives in sports with corecourse offerings that provide apathway for those looking fur-ther their education with a bach-elor’s degree.”

For Hurley, bringing a pre-sports administration curricu-lum to Clermont is just the latesteffort in a long, successful ca-reer in the highly competitivefield. Hurley got his start work-ing in athletics at CaliforniaState University at Fullertonbefore becoming development

director of the Special Olympicsfor six years. He then served asassistant athletic director at theUniversity of Buffalo beforecoming to UC, where he playedseveral integral roles in athleticsdevelopment for several years.He began sharing his wisdom asan adjunct professor at UC Cler-mont last year while serving aspresident of byDZGN, a strate-gic marketing planning andresearch firm he founded.

“When I was earning mydegree, there were only threeschools in the country that of-fered sports management as acourse of study,” Hurley said.“Now colleges and universitiesall over the country are offeringcourses and degrees. Prospec-

tive students are intrigued bythe prospect of working in ath-letics, but they only know whatthey’ve seen on TV or have beenexposed to this point in theirlives. It’s not just high school,college or professional athletics.

Graduates can work in facil-ity management, or in salesworking for Under Armor orNike. Given how vast the oppor-tunities are in sports administra-tion there are so many careeroptions that go beyond being acoach or athletic director.”

While Hurley hopes to con-tinue to grow the UC Clermontprogram, he’s also quick to pointout that the pre-sports admini-stration courses offer benefitsfor students outside of athletics,

too. “What really distinguishes

Clermont College from otherprograms like this is that we’relooking to train students in basicmanagement and critical think-ing skills that will serve them nomatter where they land profes-sionally,” Hurley said. “We areusing the attraction and interestin sports to educate students onfundamental skills that haveapplication in any line of busi-ness.”

frompu-rebredpuppies tocars andTVs. Re-centlythey soldme a bro-ken Play-station 3.It didn’twork and

after trying to contactthem I was blocked andignored.”

Jason says after hereported the sellers tothe website on which hebought the unit he,“started hearing about

how they have scammedmany young people intobuying broken or falselyadvertised items.”

Ohio Attorney Gener-al Mike DeWine says in2015 his office receivedabout 30 complaintsfrom people who saidthey bought a puppy orother pet online, butnever received anythingin return. The averageloss to consumers wasabout $1,200.

As was the case withJason, the key to stop-ping this fraud is to askto see the item beingsold in person before

you make any payments.Just seeing a picture ofthe item or the puppyonline is not enough toprotect you from thesescammers.

DeWine says, “In atypical puppy scam aconsumer finds an ad fora puppy online. The con-sumer communicateswith the seller, agrees tobuy the puppy, and even-tually wires a few hun-dred dollars to have thepuppy delivered.”

Rather than receivingthe puppy the consumergets a demand for moremoney to either to pay

for insurance or trans-portation costs. If theconsumer doesn’t paythe seller may threatento turn him in for animalabuse.

Research any breed-ers and sellers carefullybefore you agree to buyanything. Remember,Jason says when he did alittle checking he startedhearing about manyothers who were alsoscammed. If you can’tfind anything about abreeder you need to beskeptical because theattorney general sayssome scam artists

change names regularlyto trick consumers.

When it comes topuppies, be sure to see itfirst and try to take it toan independent veteri-narian for a health exambefore agreeing to buyit. Finally, never wiremoney to a strangerbecause it is next toimpossible to get it backif there’s a fraud.

Howdy folks ...Well we lost another

wonderful lady to be inheaven. This lady direct-ed the church choir forseveral years and did awonderful job. Every-body loved her. Ruth Annand I thought she wassuch a beautiful personand like Ruth Ann, shealways had a big smilefor everybody. She sangin the Christmas cantatain December sick as shewas and had that bigsmile. Carolyn Gregorywas always willing tohelp anybody in thechurch. She was quite alady. She liked to sew andif you look at the 16-piecequilt by the pulpit in thechurch she was involvedin that. When the townwould have a town-wideevent she was involved inthe quilt show at thechurch.

She and another ladywent to the ShepherdsPlace by the side of Save-a-Lot and did some sew-ing with the school stu-dents. The girls sureenjoyed this event. Someof the boys asked if theycould take part in thesewing so the next time

the boystook partin the sew-ing. ThatsurepleasedCarolynand theother lady.If therewas some-thing to be

done for the choir Caro-lyn was the first one tosay I will do it and it wasdone right away.

Carolyn always toldRuth Ann about the can-ning she did. She liked towork in the garden andone year they had thebiggest crop of grapes soshe called Ruth Ann tosee if we would like thegrapes so we went andgot them. Carolyn wentto a farm in Brown Coun-ty to get sweetcorn to caneach year. She told usabout the farm so wewent and got some extragood sweetcorn. Carolynwill be missed by notonly the family but theentire community. Shewas always complement-ing someone for some-thing they had done. Godbless her and her family.

I liked the “After-glow” on Carolyn’s me-morial card. It read, “I'dlike the memory of me tobe a happy one, I'd like toleave an afterglow ofsmiles when day is gone.I'd like to leave an echowhispering softly downthe ways, of happy timesand laughing times andbright and sunny days.I'd like the tears of thosewho grieve to dry beforethe sun, of happy memo-ries that I leave when lifeis done. Love is patientand kind . . . it rejoiceswith the truth. It bearsall things, believes allthings, hopes all thingsendures all things. Lovenever ends.” This wasCarolyn.

I have wrote aboutmaking bird feeders outof plastic juice contain-ers. It shows how we canrecycle items instead ofthrowing them away. Thebirds are sure feeding atthe feeders along withthe squirrels, deer andwild turkey. This coldweather and with snowon the ground it is toughfor the animals and birds.

I am a gardener. I wasdown to the Wal-Mart

store and they have theirseed packs ready so Ibought two packs of seedtape – one was radish andthe other spinach. I willfix beds in the basementto plant some. Good freshspinach on a salad wouldsure taste good this coldweather along with rad-ishes. I will set the wallsof water filled with waterout in March to warm theground. Then the first ofApril I put the tomatoesin the wall of water. Theyprotect the tomato dur-ing the cold weather.Then I have picked--wellmy daughter picks thefirst red tomato in themiddle of June.

I have started gettingmail on honeybees. Aperson can order andpick up the box of bees inApril or May. The hon-eybees need all the helpwe can give them soplant plenty of flowersfor the bees to makehoney from. I was look-ing at the feeder I madewith a gallon jug on it forthe squirrels to feed in.There was one squirrel inthe jar, another one triedto get in and the one inthe jar ran the other oneout. Then the one in thejar turned around so it'shead was by the openingso it could be ready forthe next one that tried toget in the jar. There werethree squirrels on thetree. I put two ears ofcorn in the jar and thesquirrels took both ofthem out so I just putseeds in there. If you getany Birds and Bloomsbooks save them and takethey to someone that is

housebound so they canenjoy the pictures of thebirds and learn how eachof them survive.

Remember to get yourbirdhouse put up forspring. The bluebirdsneed plenty of help. Ihave a problem with theblack snakes getting theeggs each year from oneof the bluebird boxes.

Start your week bygoing to the house ofworship of your choiceand praising the goodLord.

God bless all ... Morelater.

DEATHS

Glenny Glass, a whole-sale glass fabricator inMilford, is supportingthe arts by buying com-pact discs.

Braxton Smith, presi-dent of Glenny Glass,bought 250 copies of hissister, Sharon SmithIltis’s, latest CD, “JustWaiting,” to give as holi-day gifts.

Braxton Smith and hisfather, Rufus B. Smith,bought Glenny Glass in1989. At that time thecompany had 13 employ-ees, it has since grown to82 employees and gonefrom a 20,000 square feetin the previous locationto 120,000 square feetwith the current expan-sion.

Glenny Glass has alsoexpanded to include adecorative glass division,offering unique customglass products. As a re-gional glass companyGlenny understands the

struggles of small, in-dependent business topromote a quality prod-uct, while at the sametime providing a profit.

Braxton Smith wassurprised to hear thatmusicians are having adifficult time coveringthe costs of their musicproductions because somuch music these dayscan be downloaded forfree. Most digital stream-ing companies pass onvery little to the mu-sician...fractions of cents.There are still some com-panies such as Itunes andCD Baby that pass on afair remittance, howeversales of CDs and recordsare the most profitable.

When asked how thismay affect the quality ofmusic that we listen, Iltissaid, “Well, I hope itdoesn’t discourage mu-sicians from makingoriginal music. We’vehad such wonderful mu-

sic in this country andmy fear is it might be-come all prefabricateddigital music. I also won-der if this present mu-sical era will be withouttangible documentationof new original music.”

This is the secondtime Braxton has boughthis sister’s music. Hebought “Everyday” in2012 to give as gifts aswell. Iltis, a native ofCincinnati, has beenwriting music and sing-ing and playing guitar formore than 40 years. Sheperforms in Cincinnati inthe spring and fall aswell as in Northern Wis-consin, Montana andColorado the rest of theyear.

Her music can befound on www.sharonil-tismusic.com , Itunes, CDBaby and most digitalstreaming entities or bycalling 715-892-0320.
