That’s the promise village Mayor Alan Ausman made to residents during his state of the village address at a recent council meeting. “In January 2013 I prefaced my state of the village address as a ‘year of change.’ While we didn’t really see that start until right at the end of 2013; nevertheless, it has begun,” Ausman said. “This year I would entitle my state of the village as ‘our year of infrastructure repair.’” In December, the village be- gan the first phase of its Plane Street improvements. “New stormwater sewer drains are in place. Soon, new sidewalks and curbs will take shape as well as new street light- ing,” Ausman said. “This will be a multiyear pro- ject consisting of six phases and in the end will dramatically change the look of our downtown area. I think I can speak for all on council when I say I look for- ward to seeing this first phase completed to give us a glimpse of how this will change the look of our village for years to come.” Last year officials used tax money from grants to replace the South Charity Street Bridge, what Ausman called a beautiful addition to the village. “Our next bridge slated for replacement is the Spring Street Bridge,” Ausman said. “Administrator (Travis) Dot- son has secured funding through the CDBG (Community Devel- opment Block Grant) program. This project is to start in 2014 as well. I hope it is as aesthetically appealing as the Charity Bridge turned out.” A fiscal emergency in the vil- lage was declared on Aug. 24, 2010, after a fiscal analysis re- vealed deficit fund balances of $401,178 and $340,766 as of Dec. 31, 2009, and May 31, 2010, re- spectively. A seven-member commission was appointed by the state to help the village regain financial stability. In October, the village was re- leased from fiscal emergency status. “I believe that to be a defining moment in the history of our vil- lage in that we recognized our mistakes, corrected, recovered and now vow to never return to fiscal mismanagement again,” the mayor said. But some residents have questioned council’s recent deci- sions to increase utility rates and grant employees raises. Melvin Dean, former chief of the Bethel-Tate Joint Ambulance District and former president of the village’s board of public af- fairs, is one of them. “If they didn’t go ahead and give the raises they wouldn’t have to raise the (utility) rates. Otherwise, why did we have to do it? That’s how they are paying for those raises,” Dean said. “This community cannot af- ford what they are doing. They’re taking care of them- selves, but not the village.” The mayor counted the vil- lage’s progress in building finan- cial reserves as one of last year’s successes. “We are setting aside money in our long-term improvement funds, which is something that was sadly overlooked for years, and we are on sound fiscal foot- ing,” Ausman said. Nevertheless, Ausman dis- cussed grants and other creative methods of funding for the ‘year of infrastructure.’ The mayor wants to replace the south water tower with a new one next to the baseball fields on Fossyl Drive. “The new tower will give us the ability to increase our stor- age capacity and replace the crumbling south tower that has stood over Bethel since the 1930s,” Ausman said. “The funds for this will come from a low-interest loan through the Ohio EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) that will help us meet our needs now, while spreading the payment for the improvement over 20 years. This project will change the look of Bethel and the infrastructure at the same time.” This is the Spring Street Bridge, which is scheduled to be replaced this year. The bridge replacement is part of what Bethel Mayor Alan Ausman dubbed the “year of infrastructure repair” in the village. Ausman also wants to build a new water tower and replace several water mains.

Trustee Howard Daugherty called the bee- tle a “very, very touchy subject.” “It’s like holding a hot iron,” he said. Those feelings mani- fested themselves follow- ing the Tate Township Board of Zoning Appeals’ controversial decision about Bzak Landscaping, a company that grinds up infested trees so their mulch can be used again. Daugherty said there has been no talk of redo- ing the public hearing some residents say they weren’t properly notified about. Other than that, trust- ees aren’t taking a defini- tive stance on the issue. Zoning Inspector George Eckert said he is checking with the town- ship’s legal representa- tion on the matter. At that hearing in De- cember, Board of Zoning Appeals members unani- mously overturned a vio- lation submitted by Eck- ert regarding excess noise and dust coming from a yard used to grind up trees infested by the Asian longhorned beetle. Richard Carmasino, owner of the property on 2896 state Route 232, and Bzak Landscaping, the company using the yard, were cited for violating the “permitted uses” sec- tion of the township’s Zon- ing Resolution. The resolution states, “Any industrial or manu- facturing activity which can be shown not to emit noise, smoke, dust, vibra- tion, heat, bright light, or- der (sic) or other obnox- ious effects beyond the limits of its lot” are per- mitted. Michael Bieszczak, president of Bzak Land- scaping, appealed the vio- lation. “Any activity such as mowing a lawn creates noise; we find the defini- tion of noise to be pretty subjective, especially if no measurements were made or that data wasn’t included in the original complaint,” Bieszczak wrote in his appeal. “Please consider this appeal ... as the ALB (Asian longhorned beetle) project is vital to the pres- ervation of non-infested trees and there is no alter- native to this location at this time.” Bieszczak won the ap- peal, angering a group of residents who signed a petition letter in October about the yard. Joel Monteith, a resi- dent who lives on 2887 state Route 232, said the fact that there is no alter- native location for the yard is exactly why the board’s recent decision was flawed. “The truth is Bzak wanted to (move its opera- tion) but the board voted them down because resi- dents didn’t want any part of the noise and dust,” Monteith said. Monteith is the resi- dent who wrote the pet- ition letter, signed by eight other nearby resi- dents. “The reason they are saying they removed the zoning violation (this time) is exactly the reason they didn’t move (the yard) from where it is,” he said. Bzak did previously at- tempt to move the yard to a new location on state Route125 near Macedonia Road. This required a special exemption from the Board of Zoning Appeals, Eckert said. About 30 people “who hate the people cutting down trees” showed up to oppose the appeal, he said. “A lot of the things that were brought up didn’t really pertain to the loca- tion,” the zoning inspector said. Indeed, Eckert said most of the people who showed up to Bzak’s earli- er appeal didn’t want any- thing to do with trees be- ing removed. “You could say it may- be swayed the decision of the board, because there were quite a few of them people there,” he said. The flames are about to fanned again. Monteith is writing an- other letter to trustees this month restating his opinion about the yard and also claiming resi- dents weren’t properly notified of the appeals hearing. Eckert said officials were only required to put Trustees reluctant to step into zoning fray This group of Tate Township neighbors stand across the street from a yard where trees that are infested by the Asian Longhorned Beetle are ground into mulch.

That’s the promise villageMayor Alan Ausman made toresidents during his state of the

“In January2013 I prefacedmy state of thevillageaddressasa ‘yearofchange.’While we didn’treally see thatstart until right at

Last year officials used taxmoney from grants to replacethe South Charity Street Bridge,what Ausman called a beautifuladdition to the village.

“Our next bridge slated forreplacement is the Spring StreetBridge,” Ausman said.

“Administrator (Travis) Dot-sonhassecuredfunding throughthe CDBG (Community Devel-opment Block Grant) program.This project is to start in 2014 aswell. I hope it is as aestheticallyappealing as the Charity Bridgeturned out.”

A fiscal emergency in the vil-lage was declared on Aug. 24,2010, after a fiscal analysis re-vealed deficit fund balances of$401,178 and $340,766 as of Dec.31, 2009, and May 31, 2010, re-spectively.

InOctober, thevillagewas re-leased from fiscal emergencystatus.

“Ibelieve that tobeadefiningmoment in the history of our vil-lage in that we recognized ourmistakes, corrected, recoveredand now vow to never return tofiscal mismanagement again,”themayor said.

But some residents havequestionedcouncil’s recent deci-sions to increaseutilityratesandgrant employees raises.

Melvin Dean, former chief oftheBethel-TateJointAmbulanceDistrict and former president ofthe village’s board of public af-fairs, is one of them.

“If they didn’t go ahead andgive the raises they wouldn’thave to raise the (utility) rates.Otherwise, why did we have todo it?That’s how theyarepayingfor those raises,” Dean said.

“This community cannot af-ford what they are doing.They’re taking care of them-

selves, but not the village.”The mayor counted the vil-

lage’s progress inbuilding finan-cial reserves as oneof last year’ssuccesses.

“We are setting aside moneyin our long-term improvementfunds, which is something thatwas sadly overlooked for years,and we are on sound fiscal foot-ing,” Ausman said.

Nevertheless, Ausman dis-cussedgrants andothercreativemethods of funding for the ‘yearof infrastructure.’

TATETWP.—There isnobigger issue inTateTown-ship than the tree-killingAsian longhorned beetle,which has led to the re-moval ofmore than32,000trees in Clermont Countysince 2011.

Trustee HowardDaugherty called the bee-tle a “very, very touchysubject.”

“It’s like holding a hotiron,” he said.

Those feelings mani-fested themselves follow-ing the Tate TownshipBoard of Zoning Appeals’controversial decisionabout Bzak Landscaping,a company that grinds upinfested trees so theirmulch can be used again.

Daugherty said therehas been no talk of redo-ing the public hearingsome residents say theyweren’t properly notifiedabout.

Other than that, trust-

ees aren’t taking a defini-tive stance on the issue.

Zoning InspectorGeorge Eckert said he ischecking with the town-ship’s legal representa-tion on the matter.

At that hearing in De-cember, Board of ZoningAppeals members unani-mously overturned a vio-lation submitted by Eck-ert regarding excessnoise and dust comingfrom a yard used to grindup trees infested by theAsian longhorned beetle.

Richard Carmasino,owner of the property on2896 state Route 232, andBzak Landscaping, thecompany using the yard,were cited for violatingthe “permitted uses” sec-tion of the township’s Zon-ing Resolution.

The resolution states,“Any industrial or manu-facturing activity whichcan be shown not to emitnoise, smoke, dust, vibra-tion, heat, bright light, or-der (sic) or other obnox-

ious effects beyond thelimits of its lot” are per-mitted.

Michael Bieszczak,president of Bzak Land-scaping, appealed the vio-lation.

“Any activity such asmowing a lawn createsnoise; we find the defini-tion of noise to be prettysubjective, especially if

no measurements weremade or that data wasn’tincluded in the originalcomplaint,” Bieszczakwrote in his appeal.

“Please consider thisappeal ... as the ALB(Asian longhorned beetle)project is vital to thepres-ervation of non-infestedtrees and there is no alter-native to this location at

this time.”Bieszczak won the ap-

peal, angering a group ofresidents who signed apetition letter in Octoberabout the yard.

Joel Monteith, a resi-dent who lives on 2887state Route 232, said thefact that there is no alter-native location for theyard is exactly why theboard’s recent decisionwas flawed.

“The truth is Bzakwantedto (move itsopera-tion) but the board votedthem down because resi-dents didn’twant any partof the noise and dust,”Monteith said.

Monteith is the resi-dent who wrote the pet-ition letter, signed byeight other nearby resi-dents.

“The reason they aresaying they removed thezoning violation (thistime) isexactly thereasonthey didn’t move (theyard) fromwhere it is,”hesaid.

Bzak did previously at-tempt to move the yard toa new location on stateRoute125nearMacedoniaRoad.

This required a specialexemption from theBoard of Zoning Appeals,Eckert said.

About 30 people “whohate the people cuttingdown trees” showed up tooppose theappeal,hesaid.

“A lot of the things thatwere brought up didn’treally pertain to the loca-tion,” thezoning inspectorsaid.

Indeed, Eckert saidmost of the people whoshowed up to Bzak’s earli-er appeal didn’t want any-thing to do with trees be-ing removed.

“You could say it may-be swayed the decision ofthe board, because therewere quite a few of thempeople there,” he said.

Theflamesareabout tofanned again.

Monteith is writing an-other letter to trusteesthis month restating hisopinion about the yardand also claiming resi-dents weren’t properlynotified of the appealshearing.

notice in thepaper10daysbefore the hearing, whichthey did, and notify “par-ties in interest” 10 daysbefore thehearing inwrit-ing.

But Eckert argued thatonly meant notifying thepeople who appealed theviolation.

Letters were sent outto adjoining propertyowners as a courtesy, butat least two of them werepostmarked Dec. 26 —only five days before theDec. 30 hearing.

Other residents who

signed Monteith’s letterwere not sent written no-tice because they are notadjoining property own-ers.

Eckert said his secre-tary put 10 notificationletters in the mail Satur-day, Dec. 14. He said theymay not have been pickedup until Monday, Dec. 16,but that still should havebeen plenty of time.

“I don’t know why itwould have took thatlong” for the post office tomail them, Eckert said.

“I assume they lost aday for Christmas, but Idon’t really know whathappened.”

Newly elected trusteeGary Reed said he wouldhave to speak to Eckertbefore commenting.

“I’ve heard bits andpieces (of the story) but Ihaven’t heard exactlywhat happened,” he said.

Reed was not a trusteewhen Monteith sent theoriginal letter, and saidthe issue was not discuss-ed at the Jan. 14 trusteemeeting.

BETHEL — AttentionBethel-Tate students: Forthe rest of the winter,your snow days will comeat a cost.

Sure, you may findtime to sled down that hillor bombard your siblingswith snowballs when youotherwise would havebeen chewing on yourpencil in history class.

But you better be pre-pared to make up theschool you missed by

completing assignmentsfrom your teacher, whichmay be done online andwhich must be completedin 10 days.

That’s because the Be-thel-Tate Local SchoolDistrict Board of Educa-tion agreed during a spe-cial meeting Jan. 22 toparticipate in the “Bliz-zard Bags” program en-dorsed by the Ohio De-partment of Education.

There are no bags in-volved and a blizzard isn’tnecessary for the pro-gram to kick in.

Hazardous weatherconditions, law-enforce-ment emergencies, dis-ease epidemics and dam-age to school buildingsare other allowed reasonsfor Blizzard Bags days –just like they are for so-called “calamity days.”

TheBlizzardBags pro-gram allows school dis-tricts that have used allfive of the calamity daysallowed each school yearto call off classes an addi-tional three days, so longas the work is made up.

Otherwise, students

would have to make upthe days at the end of theschool year.

“TheBlizzardBagsarean opportunity to providetimely instruction to ourstudents without makingup days,” said MelissaKircher, superintendentof the Bethel-Tate LocalSchools.

So far this school year,the district has cancelledschool seven days.

“Blizzard Bags dayshavebeen in effect (state-wide) for three years, butwe haven’t needed to use

them due to mild win-ters,” said Barb Leonard,president of the Bethel-Tate school board.

“This is the worst win-ter we’ve seen in manyyears.

“Many of our townshipandcountyroadshavenotbeen safe enough for ourbuses to travel on,” Leon-ard said.

Buffy Clements, vicepresident of the schoolboard, doesn’t think thedistrict has used the Bliz-zard Bags program be-fore.

“The children aremissing out on criticalclassroom time, but theirsafety is the primary con-cern when deciding onwhether or not to haveschool,” Clements said.

CLERMONT CO. —Freezing temperaturesand snow have hit Cler-mont County hard thiswinter, making salt a pre-cious commodity in somecommunities.

“I’ve had so many peo-ple call me asking forsalt,” said Mike Mantel,service director for Mi-ami Township.

“This is the first timeI’ve had to say no.”

Mantel said MiamiTownship stores salt forMilford, Sycamore Town-ship and the ClermontCountyEngineer’s Office.

“It’s pretty obviousthat this winter is ex-tremely different thanlast winter,” Mantel said.

“Lastwinterwasoneofthe mildest and this win-ter is one of the most haz-ardous.”

The township used1,700 tons of salt last win-ter. This winter, officialshave already gonethrough 2,462 tons of salt.

And its spent morethanquadruple themoneyit did last year.

Officials bought 505tons of salt last winter for$30,895, Mantel said in anemail.

“We needed to pur-chase very little (last win-ter) because we had plen-ty on hand from previousyears,” the service direc-tor said in an email.

Bethel is using lesssalt this winter

Despite the harsh win-ter, Bethel officials haveused less salt this winterthan in the past.

“Last winter we used atotal of 80 tons of salt. Sofar this yearwehaveused50 tons and we have 30

tons on hand,” said TravisDotson, village adminis-trator, in an email.

“Cost is comparablelast year to this year sofar.At this point,weare ingood shape, but we haveanother round of snowcoming this weekend, so Iwill not be surprised if wehave to purchase moresalt before this winter isover.”

Fiscal Officer Bill Gil-pinsaid inanemail thevil-lage spent $4,960 on saltlast winter and $2,805 sofar this winter.

Salt use doubles inBatavia Township

Township Administra-tor Rex Parsons said thetownship so far has used768 tons of salt. This ismore than double whatwas used all of last winterwhen a total of 364 tonswas used.

However, Parsons saidit’s not just the snow butthe slick road conditionswhich have required theuse of so much salt.

“(It) would almost bebetter if we got a signifi-cant amount of snow on

the road, because that caneasily be plowed,” saidParsons, adding that slickroad conditions are moreproblematic.

Plowing is more costeffective and better fortheenvironment thansalt,he said.

According to ServiceDirector Ken Embry thecost for salt this winterwas $48.19 per ton. Thecost of salt lastwinterwas$69.50 per ton.

Parsons said so far thetotal amount spent on saltthis winter is about$35,404.

Milford needs tobuymore salt

Milford has used 558tons of road salt this sea-son andhas about 300 tonsremaining, according toService Department Su-pervisor EdHackmeister.

Hackmeister said Mil-ford only used 180 tonsone year ago and 273 tonstwo years ago.

City Manager JeffWright said staff is askingCity Council to authorizethe purchase of an addi-tional 550 tons of road saltin February.

Is there enough salt to go around?Community Press staff

MT.WASHINGTON—Strange thingsareafoot at the Circle K. Or the ME LyonsYMCA. One of those places with initials.

Either way, the McNicholas HighSchoolswimminganddivingteamarrivedat the annual Southwest District CoachesClassic meet under unusual circum-stances.

First of all, Rockets head coach TessaLengerichmissed theJan.18and19event,having just given birth to her second son,WilliamJohnLengerich,whoclocked inatmore than 11 pounds. So first-year assis-tant coach Taryn Diersing – Lengerich’ssister - took over head coaching duties.

Diersing’s phone – andwith it her digi-tal stopwatch – broke during the meet, soshe had no way to time her swimmers.

Many of the swimmers themselveswerecomingoff aprolongedstretchof ill-ness that did not bodewell for the classic.

So how did they do?“Itwasa little overwhelming, but Iwas

ecstatic,” Diersing said. “We had a lot ofpersonal records. I had a lot of swimmersdo surprisingly well.

“We’d been swimmingmeets basicallyevery weekend and improving, but thepersonal records were falling by one andtwo seconds. For them to drop so muchtime was a definite surprise. A good sur-prise.

“It’s possible because it’s a big stageand it was adrenaline. ButMason is a fastpool, too,deepandcold,all theperfectcon-ditions for good swims. The kids didgreat.”

Senior Mitch Bloemer – one of twoMcNick boys on the team - swam fourevents and set personal bests in two ofthem, the 100 freestyle and the 100 back-stroke.

“Considering who was there and themagnitude of who was there, I was veryhappy,” he said. “In a meet like that youjust have to swimagainst yourself. One ofthe guys next to me fromMoeller said hewasgoing to the (Olympic) trials. I have tobe happywith going for times, improvingmy own times.”

Bloemer is closing in on his preseasongoal of swimming the 50 free in under 28seconds. He’s at 28.1 now and said by thetimehe shaves and tapers for tournament

swimming, he should find himself in thehigh 27s.

Not bad for a guy better known atMcNickas agolfer.He’d like tomake thatsport his life’s work, double majoring inbusiness and golf management nextschool year with an eye toward becominga club or resort PGA professional.

He played basketball at ImmaculateHeart of Mary, but he found the competi-tion for a roster spot in high school hoopstoo fierce and began looking for anotherway to spend his winters.

“My sister (Anna) was on the swimteam,” he said. “She was a senior when Iwas a freshman and that sibling rivalrykind of kicked in. I thought if she could doit, I could, too. I jumped inwith both feet.”

Diersing said the McNick girls whofound similar success at the classic.

Senior twin divers Abbie and MaddieMitchell finished 14th and 15th, respec-tively, for the Rockets. Sophomore Shell-byMiller scoredpoints in the500 freeandled a relay contingent in the 200 and 400free that also included freshmen SkyeLewisandMollyJordanandseniorKarinaCabrera.

“(Miller) is almost ather500 timefromstate last year and she hasn’t started to ta-per,” Diersing said. “And the 400 and 200relay school records they set last year,they should be coming down again soon,too.”

A publication of

Ohio’s tea party activistsfocused on school board racesaround the state in last No-vember’s elections.

Statewide tea party schoolboard candidates all had thesame script:

» cut school funding byopposing school levies;

» cut teacher benefits andreimbursements for thingslike classroom supplies;

» eliminate support ser-vices, sports, food servicesand busing;

» a confusing “studentsfirst” pledge which in realityappeared more like a teach-ers last pledge or even a stu-dents are kind of important –but not as important as lowproperty taxes pledge.

They lost big time in mostcases.

Springboro, Olentangy(West Columbus) and West-

erville allrejected thetea partyschool boardcandidates ontheir ballots.

Locally,West Cler-mont LocalSchool Dis-trict wasn’t solucky.

In WestClermont, tea party memberJim Lewis received the mostvotes, followed closely bySteve Waldman and MarkMerchant. Lewis, Waldmanand Merchant ran together ona tea party-inspired platformthat vowed to protect over-taxed citizens from “mooch-ing,” overpaid teachers.

Lewis wrote,“In my mind,the fate of our future as anation depends on turning

back the hands of time andteaching our children insteadof propagandizing them.”

Lewis vows to fight againstany new school levies thatmight be proposed by “ill-informed do-gooders.” Hestates he will go forward “toslay the dragon that is publiceducation in West Clermont.”

Parents and communitymembers in Clermont County,who are concerned with thedirection of their new schoolboard, decided to step up anddo something by forming“West Clermont United.”

Members of West Cler-mont United say some of thenew school board membersdon’t support public schoolsand that there’s an imbalancein the political views with thenew board.

“We are here to supportthe kids. Kids come first.

Aside from all the politicalagendas. That needs to be leftoutside the policies for theschool...We don’t really lookat our public education sys-tem as something that needsto be slayed,” said MikeSteele, a local parent andmember of West ClermontUnited.

Steele says entering thenew year, it’s time to pass alevy – something that he sayshasn’t happened in years.

He says, “I’ve got a daugh-ter who’s in first grade who’snever been to an art class,never been to a gym class,never been to music. Ourlibraries at this point arebeing run by parent volun-teers. Otherwise our childrenwouldn’t have a library.”

West Clermont Unitedplans to have members oftheir group attend every

school board meeting movingforward.

The students, teachers andfamilies in Ohio’s publicschool districts need schoolboards focused on ensuringthat children receive thehighest quality educationpossible.

What they don’t need areschool boards run by ide-alogues who think teachersare the enemy, who believeschools should be starved offunding, and who think weneed to “turn back the handsof time” on education.

School board electionsneed our closer scrutiny.Their outcomes have realconsequences.

Teachers do notrelish snow days

I feel compelled torespond to a letter in to-day’s Journal from D.J. Inhis response to the snowday question. D.J. com-mented that he was prettysure that the teacherswere happy because theywere going to get anotherday paid for doing noth-ing.

As a retired educator Iwant DJ to know thatteachers only get paid forthe days they work. And,NO, DJ, we don’t get paidfor our time off in thesummer either.

Many people who ma-lign educators because oftheir “cushy” jobs do notrealize that we are paidper diem. Our contractsare for (depending on thedistrict) 180-190 days peryear.

So, NO, DJ we do notrelish snow days. Theyonly create more work forus.

But, according to DJ,we don’t really work any-way, right DJ?

The silence of a cemetery.A chiseled hand on an oldgravestone points upward.“Gone to a far better place.”

The cemetery is sited on ahillside above a meanderingcreek. Long ago laughingchildren leaped from rock torock in pursuit of elusiveminnows and roamed throughnearby woods. Echoes oftheir laughter soon faded intosilence. They lived out theirlives and were brought backhere to be buried by theirchildren.

“Gone to a far betterplace.” Heavenly wisdom ormeaningless words? Can wepause in our madcap pace ofleaping place to place in pur-suit of earthly goals to listen?

Our ancestors knew hard-ship and heartache. And yetthey persevered for heavenlyrewards unseen and un-

known-knownonly to a cre-ator who en-dowed them(and us) withunalienablerights of life,liberty, andthe pursuit ofhappiness.

Life? Theman whosemetaphorical

hand points upward on histombstone lost his brotherand sister to a frontier fever.His parents buried those chil-dren and moved onward,downriver by flatboat to a“far better place.” For them.We each seek out our ownbetter place.

Liberty? We enter govern-mental bands and bonds tosecure the common good butmust fight to preserve our

individual liberty. Then andnow.

The pursuit of heaven wasthe pursuit of happiness formost of our ancestors. Thekeys to the kingdom were theTen Commandments. Theyspeak to all people of allfaiths and are righteous rulesof conduct for a nation oflaws and not men(human-kind).

The buried man’s fatherand his shopkeeper friendhad immigrated from thenorth of Ireland in the late1700s. Letters from theirfamilies were filled with bib-lical advice to “shun bad com-pany and keep the Sabbath.”Return letters thanked theirparents for instilling virtuesin them and spoke of seeingthem once again “in mansionsof never-ending felicity”where the hand points. Honor

thy father and thy mother.And as they did in this coun-try, so their own children did.

We see examples and setexamples for others-of behav-ior we always seek to better.As we enter a new year, let ussimply resolve to do better -as a person, as a family, as anation.

Yes, gone to a far betterplace. But we get there bybeing kind, considerate, andcourageous in the here andnow. Our ancestors’ revolu-tion for liberty allows us tohave a resolution to do better.May we so resolve.

The day before I wasmoti-vated to write this column, aClermont Senior Services casemanager was visiting a couplewho had called the agency re-questing assistance.

During the visit, she wasinformed that the couple hadreceived a call from someoneidentifying himself as a personfromClermont Senior Servicesand advised her that someonewould be visiting them between1:00 and1:30 p.m. the followingday tomake sure they weregetting all of their services.

This wasjust pure luckthat the casemanager vis-ited the day ofthe call. Thecasemanagerinformed herthat no otherstaff personwould be vis-iting fromClermont Sen-

ior Services and encouraged herand her spouse to keep theirstorm door locked (as it was

when the casemanager arrived)and not to let anyone into theirhomewithout seeing an identifi-cation badge and calling thesource, in this case, ClermontSenior Services, for verifica-tion.

The deviousmethods crimi-nals have of gaining access toseniors’ homes are broadening,and the frequency is escalating.

We continue to warn aboutvulnerability to scams andfraudulent practices, and familymembers also need to be espe-cially attentive to educating andcounseling their loved onesshould anyonemake contact.

The samemorning as thiscasemanager reported thisincident, another reported thathe returned the call of a senior’sdaughter who told him that hermother received a phone callfrom a person identifying her-self with Clermont County Sen-ior Services.

She said the womanwantedto schedule a timewith hermother for aman, John, to comeand visit hermother between11:00 and12:00 the following dayto talk about vision and dentalcoverage/services.

Clermont Senior Servicesnever solicits services whatso-ever, and the daughter wasasked to have hermother keepher doors locked and not answerthe door.

A fraudulent practice we’vereported countless times to thestate uses a similar approach togain access to a senior’s home.The insurance product may belegitimate, but themethod thiscompany uses is deceptive.

The companymails an in-troduction card, but the returnaddress reads “Senior ServicesCenter” and is a Batavia, Ohio,post office boxmailing address.

A caller to the residenceidentifies him/herself as beingfrom the Senior Services Centerin Batavia. The company sellsMedicare supplemental insur-ance.

Again, the product may belegitimate, but themethod forgaining entry into a senior’shome is a grossmisrepresenta-tion.

Be aware of anyonemakingcontact with you by phone andmisrepresenting themselves. Ifyou receive a call like this, feelfree to call Clermont SeniorServices to verify the name ofthe person asking for the visit.

Also be aware thatMedicareand Social Security do not sendindividuals into the communityto visit. If you suspect someonemay havemisrepresented him/herself, DONOT open the door.

AronAsher counts himselfamong recruits to an oldline of work gaining new

cachet: commercial pilots, en-tering the workforce as warn-ings of a nationwide pilot short-age grow.

Asher landed a job with Re-publicAirlines,aregionalcarri-er based in Columbus, after fin-ishing pilot training at Univer-sity of Cincinnati Clermont Col-lege.

“I see this as an ongoing is-sue for the next 20 years,” saidEric Radtke, chief aviation in-structor at UC Clermont’s avia-tion program. Twenty studentsare pilot trainees at UC Cler-mont, a 25 percent increaseover the past three years,Radtke said.

Thousandsofpilotsareretir-ing this year just as the FederalAviation Administration is in-troducing rules requiring newtraining andmore rest betweenflights.

The FAA recently an-nounced a new rule requiringco-pilots or first officers to get1,500 hours of flight time forcertification, up from 250hours. Starting next year, theminimum rest period beforeflight duty will rise from eighthours to 10.

Radtke said aviation schoolsalso are being pressed formoregraduates because the militaryis turning out fewer trained pi-lots. “The futurehasneverbeenbrighter” for aspiring pilots, hesaid.

Boeing, one of the largestmanufacturers of commercialpassenger aircraft, estimatesthat, worldwide, airlines willneed to hire almost half a mil-lion pilots through 2032. Ana-lysts say the brunt of the short-age will be felt by regional car-riers,which operate half thena-tion’s scheduled flights. Theywon’t be able to compete withbig airlines.

“The major U.S. airlines arejust beginning the longest and

largest pilot hiring binge in his-tory, and the ‘wake turbulence’will be very disruptive to small-er flight operations who feedthem pilots,” said Louis Smith,president of FAPA.aero, a com-pany that provides career andfinancial advice to pilots.

UC Clermont College is theonly college in Greater Cincin-nati that offers a professionalpilotprogramthatcombinesac-ademic study with actual pilottraining. All of the training isdone in partnership withSporty’s Academy at the Cler-mont County/Sporty’s Airportin Batavia.

The school recently addedcareer track programs withDayton-based PSA Airlines andSouth Burlington, Vt.-basedCommutAir, both regional air-lines. In just thepast fewweeks,Radtke says several instructorshave left for airline jobs.

“What many people don’trealize is that you don’t have tobe superhuman or a math andscience whiz to be at the con-trols of an airliner,” he says.

“You must possess a validmedical certificate of health,but you don’t need perfect vi-sion.”

Becoming a commercial pi-lot requires an associate de-gree, and a bachelor’s degree isencouraged, Radtke said.

UC Clermont partners withthe Carl H. Lindner College ofBusiness, allowing students tocombine an aviation degreewithabachelor’sdegree inbusi-ness administration, a path ofstudy preferred by many air-lines, he says.

Flight and classroom train-ingrunsroughly$50,000atUC’sProfessional Pilot Training Pro-gram, and further training oreducation can add to that.

Entry-level pay for a com-mercial pilot is low, with moststarting in the low-$20,000s,Radtke said.

A senior captain at a largecarrier canearn six figures, butthat can take years to achieve.

Not everyone is buying the

projections of a dire pilot short-age. Katie Connell, a spokes-woman for Airlines for Ameri-ca, which represents the indus-try, says it’s overblown.

“Long-term projections ...are based on assumptions aboutairline growth that have oftenproved to be faulty,” Connellsaid.

“We expect the major com-mercial airlines will be appro-priately staffed, and are not ex-pecting any shortagewithin thenext few years.”

Asher tells college freshmenthinking of a pilot’s career to doit for the love of flying.

“When I chose flying it wasbecause I enjoy doing it,” hesays.

“It wasn’t mainly for themoney. Ienjoygoingtoworkev-ery day.”m

A small plane takes off at the Aviation Campus of UC Clermont. New federal regulations and an increasing number of retirees from the ranks of professional pilots are creating a strongdemand for new pilots. UC Clermont wants to fill the void and is seeing an increase in the demand for its aviation curriculum as more young people look to pursue this career choice.AMANDA ROSSMANN/STAFF

Classic shrimpcocktail with twosauces

ForMelanie, whowanted to serve shrimpfor her Super Bowl party.“I want to make theshrimp cocktail myselfinstead of buying it. Doyou have any tips forcooking the shrimp andfor an easy sauce?” sheasked.

Shrimp

2 dozen raw shrimp,deveined with tails on(see tip from Rita’skitchen)

8 quarts water1 lemon, cut in half2 garlic cloves, smashed3 tablespoons Old Bayseasoning

2 teaspoons salt

Bring water and sea-sonings to a boil. Addshrimp and when thewater returns to a boil,the shrimp should bedone. They will be bright.Have a bowl of ice waterready to put the shrimpin after draining to coolthem off. As soon asthey’re cool, removefromwater and refriger-ate while making sauce.

Cocktail sauceMix together:

1⁄2 cup chili sauce3⁄4 to 1 cup catsup1⁄2 teaspoon garlic, mincedHorseradish to tasteWorcestershire, Tabasco andlemon to taste

Even easier: Just mixchili sauce and catsup totaste

Horseradish sauceNo real recipe here

but I stir grated horse-radish into whippedcream. Or just buy horse-radish sauce and use that.Sometimes I put asqueeze of lime into thesauce.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

If you buy frozenshrimp, thaw in ice waterin frig. and drain.

Most shrimp comealready deveined. Ifyou’re squeamish aboutit, ask to have them de-veined before you pur-chase.

Cajun barbecuedshrimp

Check out my blog fortwo fun recipes.

Sausage-stuffedjalapenos

I have to admit, theseare addictive. I’vechanged the originalrecipe a bit. Be carefulwhen seeding hot pep-pers. Use gloves. Youcould use a sweeter pep-per if you like.

1pound favorite pork orturkey sausage

8 oz. cream cheese, softened1 cup shredded Romano orParmesan cheese

1 pound large fresh jalapeñopeppers, halvedlengthwise and seeded

Preheat oven to 425degrees. Cook sausageand drain. Transfer tobowl andmix withcheeses. Spoon mixture

into each pepper half andarrange in single layer insprayed baking pan. Bake20 minutes or until bub-bly and lightly golden.

Carol’s vegetariangoetta

When I asked for read-ers to share goetta reci-pes, one of the first Ireceived was from read-er Julie B. Julie sharesher mom’s vegetariangoetta recipe. Here’swhat Julie says: “I haveto share mymom’s vege-tarian goetta recipe. Shehas been making tradi-tional slow cooker goettafor years and then decid-ed she needed an optionfor her many vegetariangrandchildren. It is deli-cious, spicy and flavor-

ful! I hope you decide toshare it.” Well, Julie, thisdoes look so good and,yes, I’m happy to shareyourMom’s vegetariangoetta.

11⁄2 cups pinhead oats3 cups warm vegetablebroth

1⁄4 cup olive oil1medium chopped onion5 cloves minced garlic15 ounce can black beans,drained

2 teaspoons dried thyme1-2 teaspoons cumin (Julielikes 2)

1⁄2 teaspoon red pepperflakes

1 teaspoon salt1⁄2 teaspoon ground blackpepper

Combine everything inslow cooker. Cook on high

for about two hours, cov-ered. Transfer to sprayedloaf pan, cover and coolovernight. When ready tocook, heat canola oil inskillet and add slicedgoetta. Cook on each sideabout five minutes untilgolden brown. (Carolsays you really need thecanola oil, as the goettawill be very dry since itcontains no fat frommeat).

NON-DENOMINATIONAL

HowdyFolks;

It is 3p.m. we justgot backfromKrog-ers to get aprescriptionfilled. Itseems like Igot a headcold, folks

said the cold would settle

in the weakest part ofyour body. I was workingback in the carpentershop last week and thatplace is cold so I guess Iwon’t work there forawhile, until it warms upsome.

We got an almanac theother day, it says, that onthe 20th-27th, could be fogin Ohio and TenneseeValley and the 28th-31st,

rain or snow for the GreatLakes and Ohio Valley.Now that is what the al-manac says.

We got one seed cata-log the other day that hasa 3 lb. tomato, so we aregoing to try them, thatwould be something tohave at the price of toma-toes.

We got a price on apackaage of honey bees

and queen, they are ‘only’$90. The price has risenover the past years, Iguess everything is get-tingmore expensive.

Now I haven’t writtenanything about ‘Chester,’well, he is OK, full ofvinegar and likes to play.He likes to lay on theregister when the bloweris running.

Hewon’t let us sleeplate in themorning, hewants his breakfast, thenhe is wound up, which hekeeps up until about noon,then he takes a three-hournap, then look out again.

We have an appoint-ment for Feb. 4 to havehim neutered; we hopethat will calm him downsome. His claws are sosharp and he likes to bite,but wemust remember heis a kitten.

The Bethel Lions Clubis planning on having ananniversary party fortheir 70th anniversary inApril. The club has beenaround a long time, it isexciting to be involved inthis celebration.

When it was charteredthemajority of themem-bers were businessmen.The Lions Club does somuch for the communityand schools; it is a verybusy organization.

The Lions Internationaldoes eye research, andsponsors Pilot Dogs forthe blind or sight inpaired,

and diabetes research. Wewill have another pancakebreakfast on Feb. 22, soplan to come out and helpsupport our projects.

DannyGrant said hehad planted some toma-toes for early gardners,likeme, and will havesome good plants early. Ilike the early tomatoes,they taste so good.

The Grant’s will havethe greenhouses at thefarm on Bucktown Roadand at the garden centeraboveWilliams Cornerand the one atMilfordGarden Center. They willbe having their openhouse in April, then theMonroe Grange will havea plant sale onMay 3starting at 9 a.m. till 3p.m. This is held at theGrange hall on stateRoute 222 in Nicholsville.We have it the same dayeach year, with plenty ofgood healthy plants soload up and come.

It seems oldmanwin-ter is sure dropping thesnow on us this winter,making up for a lot ofwinters. The temperaturehas been something belowzero, or just above zero.

Now be extra carefulof the ice on the ponds, wehave already lost one boyin the area, somake sureit is at least 4 inches thick.I like to ice fish and al-waysmade certain the icewas thick enough to hold

me.Nowwhen you are ice

fishing and get into abunch of bluegills you canfill a 5 gallon bucket, halffull, in a little while. Thefish are so good comingout of that cold water.

Many years ago Stonel-ick Lake was frozen withthe ice that was 6 or 7inches thick. It looked likea small village, when thefolks were fishing, ever-body caught lots of fish,bluegills, crappie, bassand catfish.

There were some folksthat had a shelter andWildlife officers werechecking to see if theyhad their name and ad-dress on the shanty. Youare not permitted to cut ahole larger than 6 inchesin diameter.

I saw a feller that hadcaught a big bass and toldhis partner to be extracareful, cutting the holebigger, so he could get itout. Hemade it and thefeller landed a 5 lb. bass-.WOW!

Start your week bygoing to the house of wor-ship of your choice andpraise the Good Lord. GodBless all. More Later.

Bluegills and ice fishing a tasty combo
