BETHEL—The days of teach-ing children just enough mathto make change are long gone.

These days students at Be-thel-Tate Middle School arelearning how to manage moneyin today’s world, and educatorsbrought in an author to showjust how important learningabout things such as the stockmarket and business venturescan.

The guest of honorwas ChadFoster of the Atlanta, Ga., area,who wrote “Teenagers Prepar-ing for theRealWorld,” “CareerReadiness for Teens” and “Fi-nancial Literacy for Teens.”

“Our eighth-graders read(Foster’s) Financial Literacy

for Teens, so this is whatprompted his visit,” said JimFay, who teaches eighth-gradelanguage arts at Bethel-TateMiddle School.

“He spoke to the entireschool body using entertainingpersonal life stories to expresshis views on what it takes forteenagers to be successful nowand in the future.

“After taking time to signeach eighth-grader’s book hethen spoke just with our eighth-graders - sharing entertainingpersonal-life stories that ex-pressed his views on moneymanagement,” Fay said.

This is the second time Fos-ter has visited Bethel-TateMid-dleSchool.Hewas therearound2005.

“Thiswas agreatway tokick

off our money-managementunit, which concludes in a fewweeks with (a credit union)coming in to put on a realitystore,” Fay said.

Eighth-graders DominicWolfe and Hannah Barnhousesaid in emails that they enjoyedFoster’s visit.

“Hemotivatespeople togo toschool, follow their dreams andchoose a career that uses theirnatural talents,” Wolfe said.

Barnhouse said, “I really en-joyed the story about his sister-in-law following her dreams ofplaying professional basketballand ending up playing on theU.S. Olympic Team.”

BETHEL — Village officialsspent all of themoney they bud-geted in 2014 for the Grant Me-morial Building two monthsinto the year because of prob-lems with its elevator and ex-pensive winter gas bills.

Any remaining costs thisyear will be paid out of the vil-

lage’s generalfund with tax-payers’ money,Fiscal OfficerBill Gilpin toldBethel FinanceCommitteemem-bers recently.

“We didn’thave that muchmoney to work

with in that fund. It’s not bignews. It just iswhat it is,”Gilpinsaid.

VillageCouncil appropriated$1,000 for thebuilding earlierthis year.

That wasspent in Januaryand February“on natural gasbills because ofthe cold winter,”Gilpin said.

Voters defeat-ed a 1-mill parks and recreationtax-hike issue in 2012. Moneygenerated by that levy wouldhave paid for maintenance ofBurke Park, the GrantMemori-al Building and the CommunityCenter.

It was the second time in re-cent history village voters de-feated a parks and recreation

tax levy.BethelBusinessAssociation,

Historical Society and LionsClubmeetings are conducted inthe memorial building on 100 S.Main Street. The Bethel His-torical Museum also is locatedin the building.

“We’ve talked about this be-fore, but since that levy failedthe only money available (fortheGrantMemorialBuilding) iswhat comes from rentals,” Gil-pin said.

While rentals for the build-ing are “ahead of schedule” this

year taxpayers’ money willhave to be spent to cover gasbills for the rest of the year.Those bills cost $110 a montheven if no gas is used, he said.

In addition to fees associatedwith the arcticwinter, thebuild-ing’s elevator broke down “at

least three times” this winter,said Village Administrator Tra-vis Dotson.

When that happens repaircosts and overtime for employ-ees are necessary, Gilpin said.

A new program hasbeen introduced to helppeople in Clermont Coun-ty with forest land im-pacted by the Asian long-horned beetle.

“When the (U.S.) Sec-retary of Agriculturetraveled to ClermontCounty after the Asianlonghorned beetle ap-peared he pledged to helpresidents with forest landconservation,” said stateconservationist TerryCosby, of Ohio’s NaturalResources ConservationService.

That agency, which iswithin thefederalagricul-ture department, is pro-viding voluntary techni-cal and financial assis-tance to landowners andmanagers.

The new program,called the Asian longhornbeetle EnvironmentalQuality Incentives Pro-gram Initiative, is de-signed for rural landown-erswithwooded lots. It of-fers several conservationpractices aimed at im-proving forest health in

priority locations, includ-ing tree and shrub sitepreparation and planting,invasive plant control,forest stand improve-ment, mulching, criticalarea planting, and forestmanagement plans.

Since the beetle wasdiscovered in ClermontCounty in June 2011, half amillion trees have beensurveyed, more than10,000 trees have beenidentified as infested and

almost of those infestedtrees have been cut down.The beetle attacks 13 va-rieties of trees.

Its favorites includemaple, box elder, horsechestnut, willow, elm andbirch.

All of Tate Townshipand East Fork State Park,and portions of Monroe,Stonelick and Bataviatownshipsareunderquar-antine, meaning firewoodandothersimilarmaterial

cannot be moved out ofthe area.

Due to limited funding,the agency uses a rankingsystemtoestablish theex-tent of the environmentalbenefit provided from im-plementing the selectedconservation practices.Applications that rankhighest receive priorityfor funding.

Clermont County Dis-trict Conservationist LoriLenhart and Ohio Depart-

ment of Natural Re-sources ForesterTimWil-son will help applicantswith conservation plan-ning and the applicationprocess.

Lenhart can bereached at 732-2181 ext.102, or via email, [email protected].

Wilson can be reached

at 937-378-4920.TheNaturalResources

Conservation Service of-fice serving ClermontCounty is located at 1000Locust St. in Owensville.

The deadline to applyfor the EnvironmentalQuality Incentives Pro-gram Initiative is Friday,May 16.

PierceTownship is stillpursuingapieceofcountyproperty at the intersec-tion of Lewis and WhiteOakroads,nearOhioPike.

It’s the former Cler-mont County water ser-vicesfacilityandhasbeenvacant for more than ayear.

Township officialswant the property to helpmake safety improve-ments at the intersection,whichhas several lanes oftraffic converging at asingle point, and residentMark Cann asked for anupdate on the project at arecent township trusteesmeeting.

“We’restillmovingfor-

ward with it, and we havesome interested partiesafter we take the right ofway out of it to preservefor improving the thor-oughfare,” said AssistantTownship AdministratorTimHershner.

Late last year, PierceTownship asked for anup-dated appraisal on theproperty, which cameback at close to $170,000,Hershner said. There hadbeen another appraisal in2011.

“We’re anxiously mov-ing forward, but it doestake a while,” Hershnersaid.

Cann also questionedthe township’s recent re-zoning initiative for thatproperty. “Whydo itwhenwe don’t own it?” he

asked.Trustee Bob Pautke

said, “there is no rezoningeffort aimed at just thatproperty,” and it’s part ofa larger area.

Hershner said the re-zoning initiative a coversabout 23 acres the town-ship wants to include in aplannedunitdevelopment(PUD).

“We want to move for-ward and add value to theproperty so we can moveit,” he said. “(The land useplan) calls for it tobecom-mercial, so the naturalthing is tomove forward.”

The new mixed-usedistrict would help thetownship build a serviceroad parallel to Ohio Pikeand facilitate larger de-velopments in the busi-ness district near thatarea, according toamemofrom Hershner to theClermont County Plan-ning Commission.

Last year Pierce Town-ship trustees consideredforming a community im-provement corporation tohelp buy the propertyfrom the county, but theyput off that decision fornow.

Olympic series only up to 101 u.i.UNION TWP. —Maybe it

was the sight of the tinygirl in the pink shirt skip-ping merrily around thepodium as her mothermade the case against theestablishment of a pro-pane gas-storage busi-ness “in our backyard.”

Or perhaps it was thevision invoked by a manwho reminded the UnionTownship Board of Trust-ees considering plans forthe business about thepropane-gas explosion inBatavia that killed oneman and injured anotherfive in 1998.

Whatever itwas,UnionTownship trustees recent-ly voted to nix Queen CityPropane’s proposal tomove in two 18,000-gallonpropane tanks at 3932Nine Mile-Tobasco Road.

“To be quite honest, if Ilived on Ellen Drive, (asdoes Elizabeth Zerhusen,the woman who spoke atthe hearing accompaniedby her 2-year-old daugh-ter Peyton), or even onNine Mile Road, I’d beconcerned about a pro-pane facilitybeing there,”said John McGraw, chair-man of the trustees.

The propane storageproposalwas just part of aplan that Dale Adams,owner of Adams Heatingand Air Conditioning at8185 Beechmont Ave. inAnderson Township,askedthe trustees tosanc-tion by rezoning the 4.4-acre site on Nine Mile-To-basco Road from residen-tial to a commercial use.

Trustees gave athumbs up for the biggest

part of Adams’ plan,which included him mov-ing his business to theUnion Township site andconstructing four build-ings with a total of 25,080-square-feet of space thatcould be leased or sold forretail use such as officesand commercial ware-houses.

Surrounding propertyis primarily commercial.

Mike Peterman, chiefexecutive officer ofQueen City Propane, ar-gued unsuccessfully atthepublic hearing that hisbusiness would be tightlyregulated by multiplegovernment agencies ifhe was allowed to open onNine Mile-Tobasco Road.The company operates inOhio, Kentucky and Indi-ana.

“We serve lot of UnionTownship companies andsee a need for propanestorage in the area,” Pe-terman said.

But Melvin Greger ofNine Mile-Tobasco Road,told the trustees thatthere are safer placesthan 3932 Nine Mile-To-basco Road for QueenCity Propane to operate.

“Now,wouldanyofyoupeople like to live thatclose to a bomb, and that’sexactly what they are,”Greger said.

Voting to approve Ad-ams’ planwithout the pro-pane-storage portionwere McGraw and Trus-tee Lloyd Acres.

Trustee Matt Beamerdissented.

MILFORD — Environ-mental Protection Agen-cy investigators will re-turn to the city this sum-mer in hopes of unravel-ing a 30-year-oldmystery:

Where are pollutantscontaminating an aquiferin Milford coming fromand who is responsible?

The contaminatedaquifer supplies the city’sfour drinking water wellsnext to the Little MiamiRiver.

Representatives of thefederal and state EPAsand of the city emphasizethat Milford has installedequipment thatmakes thewater safe for use.

Ohio EPA agents firstdetected industrial sol-vents in a groundwaterplume beneath a businessand residential area nearthe intersection of BakerDrive and Lila Avenue in1986.

But the U.S. EPA,called in by the Ohio EPA,continues to study thesource or sources of theperchloroethylene, tri-chloroethane and othercontaminants producedwhen those solvents arebroken down by the envi-ronment – all of which areoften referred to as vola-tile organic compounds(VOCs) - in the aquifer.

“To date, the highestconcentrations in theaquifer have been found(in the500blockof)BakerDrive, which was a dry-cleaning facility duringthe 1950s,” said DinaPierce,mediacoordinatorfor the Ohio EPA in Co-lumbus.

“For (the 6,000-plus)Milford water customers,

the Milford water depart-ment uses an air stripperto remove the VOCs fromthe water until they arebelow allowable safedrinking-water contami-nation levels.

“After treatment, con-taminants have been re-moved below the maxi-mum allowable contami-nant levels and the wateris safe to drink,” Piercesaid.

Milford City ManagerJeff Wright said, “TheEPAplanningandcleanupprocess is very long-termand extensive.

“The EPA has had testwells installed at that vi-cinity for many years sothat they can monitor thegroundwater conditionand the contaminant.

“They are still investi-gating and in fact plan onperforming additionalgroundwater testing thissummer, and then willpropose cleanup optionsand then pick a cleanupplan and have the cleanupwork performed,” Wrightsaid.

Milford’s contaminat-

ed aquifer was put on theU.S. EPA’s “National Pri-orities List” in 2011, mak-ing it the federal agency’sresponsibility to investi-gate it and pay to clean itup if no responsible par-ties can be found.

The process includespublicmeetingsand inter-views with people livingand businesses operatingin the area.

Erica Fischer is officemanager of Milford Vil-lage Veterinary Clinic at736 Lila Ave.

Shewasunawareof thecontaminated aquifer butsaid she trusts officialswith the city and with thestate and federal EPAswhosayMilford’swater issafe to use.

Fischer, who lives inGoshen, doesn’t drink alot of water.

“We give it to our catsand dogs (at the clinic)and they seem to do justfine,” Fischer said.

SomeBethel-TateHillInter-mediate students who at-tend classes at the Cler-

montCountyGifted STEMCen-ter have been exploring chemi-cal engineering.

These third- and fourth-gradershaveconsidereddiffer-ent problems that can be solvedthrough chemical engineering,

and have been working to findsolutions for them.

As a culmination of this unit,they were visited by two chem-icalengineers,whohelpedthemmake connections betweentheir classroom learning andthe real world. Jack Broering isa retired chemical engineerfromtheDowChemicalCompa-

ny, and often devotes time tohelping students.

He, along with AnkurmanShrestha, a University of Cin-cinnati doctoral student, dis-cussed their work with theclass. Broering shared how hisideas have helped to improveproducts, such as Styrofoam,and how he has worked with

teams of engineers to assistthem in streamlining the proc-esses they use in their projects.

Since Shrestha’s currentwork revolves around improv-ingwastewater treatment proc-esses, he was able to share newtechnologies andprocesses thatare being developed in thisfield.

Each studentwas also able toget advice from these profes-sionals to apply to the currentprojects on which they areworking.

tudentshave gained a re-spect for this career, and somehave been inspired to furthertheir learning in this area as aresult of these experiences.

Bethel-Tate Hill Intermediate STEM students learn from chemical engineers and explore that field of work.

PRESS PREPS HIGHLIGHTS

MOSCOW — The village ofMoscow in Clermont County isoften associated with the near-by Zimmer Power Plant or theMarch 2012 tornado that rav-aged more than 80 percent ofthe area.

Two years after the naturaldisaster, supporters would liketo present a new image of theplace just off Ohio 52 as it runsparallel with the Ohio River.Theofficialwebsite reads, “TheVillage of Moscow, Ohio...apeaceful spot on the river.”

With a 2010 Census popula-tion of 185, that’s usually thecase. Urban sprawl has neverreached the village that cele-brates its bicentennial in twoyears. However, baseball has.

As the old Moscow HighSchool has been closed foryears, the closest baseball any-onemightfindwouldbeupwhatlocals call “Nannygoat Hill” to-ward Felicity-Franklin. TheCardinals just started their pro-gram back a few years ago.

Or, one could head west to-ward the city and up anothersteep hill to catch a New Rich-mond game on an artificial turfinfield.

Now, just behind the oldschool building that is now thecommunity center at 30 WellsSt., theMoscowMonarchs havetaken the field.

Literally, it is a field; allgrass.

The Monarchs play vintagebaseball sansgloves.Theycom-pete under 1865 game ruleswearing uniforms of the day.For timeperspective, PresidentAbraham Lincoln was shot atFord’s Theater April 14, 1865.

“We do two seven-inninggames,” team spokesman JoelKnueven said. “If it’s toohot,weplay one nine-inning game.”

The idea originated whenKnueven, his brothers and fa-ther attended former Redsshortstop Barry Larkin’s induc-tion into the Baseball Hall ofFame in Cooperstown, N.Y., in2012.

“We said, ‘We should dothat,’” Knueven said. “It’s notthat much money to get startedand make events that might oc-cur in the summertime.Youcanget people to bring picnics andcoolers and give the town some-thing to rally around.”

Arecentgamefeatured their“downtown” neighbors, the Lo-santiville Black Stockings, whoplay their games near the EdenPark reservoir.

The rules aremuchdifferent

than modern-day baseball. Thefly rule dictates that a batter isonly out if the ball is caught onthe fly. A foul ball can be caught“on the bound” (bounce) to rec-ord an out. Prior to 1865, a ballcaught on the bounce was anout.

“The game was presented asa pastime,” Knueven said ofbaseball’s origins. “It was abunch of guys getting togetherto hit the ball around becausethey could. The pitcher’s nottrying to strike everyone out. Infact, you can tell a pitcherwhere you’d like the ball. Onceyou hit it, that’s when the funstarts.”

There are no strikes or balls,but swinging and missing threetimes equates an out. A softerversion of today’s ball is usedand pitches are delivered un-derhand. The game ball is a lit-tle bigger than a regulationbaseball andsmaller thanasoft-ball.

“Youcanhitapop-upandstillget on because there’s no guar-antee they’re going to catch it,”

Knueven said.TheMonarchs use period ac-

curate bats made by the Phoe-nix Bat Co. out of Columbus.The thickness is designed to re-semble bats of the1865 time pe-riod.Bats arenot cut off andareas long as the lathe was. A play-er in the day could cut his own

bat to desired dimensions tochange balance.

“They’requiteheavy,”Knue-ven said. “I figure bat speedwasn’t a big deal becauseno onewas trying tostrikeyouout.Theweight of the bat helped youwallop it.”

Nine men in the same posi-tions as today play. Thus far,spectators haven’t adopted1860s attire, but there’s talk thatsomemay as part of a dramaticpresentation. Current fans aregiven a brochure detailing thehistory of the era and begin-nings of the team.

The green patch behind thevillage building and near theMoscow First Stop Marathonhas been dubbed “ProspectField.”

“The original name of Mos-cow before it was settled wasProspect,” Knueven said. “Theoriginal field were fruit grovesas there was a brandy distilleryin town.”

The Moscow nine are thefirst vintage team in ClermontCounty, according to the foun-

der.Theplayerscomefromvar-ious backgrounds and Knuevennever played organized ball.

“One of the appealing thingsis beinggentlemanly,”Knuevensaid. “In those days you wantedto be a graciouswinner or loser.It wasn’t about winning or los-ing. It literallywas a pastime. Ifit came to reading a book orplaying a little baseball, playingbaseball was pretty excitingcomparatively.”

Theuniformsarecottonwitha western bib featuring a Mon-arch insignia. The pants are ba-sic work trousers. Traditionalpants with long socks weren’tpopularized until the nationallyrecognized 1869 Red Stockings.Current style cleats are used,but any striping or logos areblacked out and the spikes aresanded down.

Should curiosity strike alongwith an available picnic basketand blanket, fans are encour-aged to attend the Monarchs’next contest May 4 againstBelle River out of Rising Sun,Ind.

The 2015 USRowingClub National Champion-ships will be July 15-19,2015, on Harsha Lake inEast Fork State Park.

The racewill be hostedby Clermont Crew, inpartnership with USRow-ing. The Club Nationalshas become one of thelargest summer regattasnationwide, featuringfivefull days of racing andmore than 1,500 crewsfrom youth, collegiate,and adult teams nation-wide.

The venue is no strang-er tomajornationalcham-pionship regattas;HarshaLake was the home of theUS Rowing Youth Nation-al Championships from1995-2010, hosted the Na-tional Collegiate RowingChampionships from

1983-1996, and was formany years the home ofthe Midwest ScholasticRowing Championships.Harsha Lake is owned bythe U.S. Army Corps ofEngineers and leased tothe Ohio Department ofNaturalResources,whichoperates East Fork StatePark.

Beyond hosting colle-giate dual racing alreadythis spring, the venue willhost UC’s Cincinnati Re-gatta, the Cincinnati HighSchool Invitational, andthe Midwest Junior Row-ing Championships. Thecourse will also host theHead of theHiddenDrag-on head race in the fall.

David Uible, countycommissioner, said win-ning the racewas a strongteam effort; “The compe-

tition around the countryfor these major events isfierce. Clermont Countyhas two important advan-tages: first, we have aworld-class venue that in-cludes Olympic startingblocks; second, we havean involved local commu-nity that is really proud toget behind this effort.”

MarkCalitri, presidentof the Clermont CountyConvention&VisitorsBu-reau, said, “We competeevery day to make Cler-mont County a preferredsporting destination bymaximizing the county’srecreational assets. Ourbid team worked hard toattract an event that willgive the county a signifi-cant economic boost.”

Commissioner Uibleadded, “Events like this

bringmoney and jobs; theeconomic impact of this 5-day event will approach$2million.A rowingeventof this scope creates astrong economic rippleeffect through our entirecommunity. As event par-ticipants explore Cler-mont County, beneficia-ries include hotels, res-taurants, retail locations,

and many other business-es that cater to these visi-tors.”

An estimated1,800 ath-letes will participate inthe summertime event.Visiting families, friends,coaches, and spectatorswill generate a total atten-dance exceeding 5,000visitors. Hotel roomnights, retail and restau-

rant spending, anticipat-ed discretionary pur-chases, and event vendorrelationships will benefitboth local businesses andpublic revenues. En-hanced lodging, sales, andgasoline tax receipts willsupplement and supportlocal and state govern-mentservices thatbenefitlocal citizens.

Rowing nationals coming to East Fork State Park

The Clermont Crewspent a tough morning onFeb. 9 competing in theWorld Indoor RowingChampionship. Each com-petitor has to row 2,000meters on Concept 2 row-ers against fellow com-petitors.

This particular race isonly for the strong atheart. A 2,000-meter raceis unforgiving on the row-er but the Clermont Crewspends six days a weektraining to master thisrace.

A call to prayer acrossthe land of the free

As Americans face fearsand daily struggles, our head-lines focus on destruction,danger and even deathswhether at school or at a mil-itary base.

Threats of war and rumorsof war warn us on the nightlynews.

While many churches haveclosed or have empty pews,there isacall toprayersentoutby the National Day of Prayer.Like Paul Revere gave out thewarning God's people need topray on Thursday, May 1.

Majority electedW.Clermont boardmembers

In response to Mr. Higgins’letter which appeared in theApril 16th edition:

West Clermont schoolboard members were electedin November by the majorityof West Clermont voters. Oneof the wonderful things aboutthis great country of ours isthat we have the freedom toexpress our views at the polls.

The fact that some individ-uals would even demand theresignation of some boardmembers due to their politicalaffiliation goes against every-thing America stands for.What these individuals aresaying is that the voters don’tcount; that their views are im-material.

Iamnota teapartymembernor do I ever expect to becomeamember. That being said, thevoters of West Clermont, my-self included, voted for thoseindividuals that we felt couldbest manage a school districtthat frankly has been in disar-ray.

I find it interesting that be-fore the election the districtwas in “dire straits,” on theverge of being taken over bythe state and that by somemir-acle, a surplus was found im-mediately after the levy wentdown to defeat. This surpluswasannouncedbefore thecon-tract was negotiated andsigned by outgoing boardmembers.

Sadly, I believe the moneywas there before the election;however, it was not what theoutgoing school board wantedthe voters to hear.

LETTERS TO THEEDITOR

Last week’s questionEarth Day is April 22. What, if

anything, do you do to observeEarth Day? Do you believe theday is more or less importantthan it was when it began in1970? Why or why not?

“I will do absolutely noth-ing to observe earth day. I pre-fer to worship the Creator,rather than created things.”

R.W.J.

“Technically, theEarthDayis probably more than what itwas back thenwhen it started,especially with all the clean-ups and tree giveaways thesedays.

“My son and I are planningon cleaning up the trash in thewoods behind out house. Itgets washed down the hill,through the storm drain fromour street, right down intoClough Creek which flowsright into the Little Miami.”

TRog

“Idon’t doanythingspecial,as I celebrate it every day byrecycling, using cloth bags atstores, etc. I honor the envi-ronment every day, not justone day per year.”

C.H.

“Earth day? Probablyshouldplant a tree. I love treesand we lost a couple last yearso it is time. As far as the im-portance and significanceplaced on Earth Day, I believeit has lessened over the years,which is a shame.

“In spite of all of the argu-ments batted back and forthconcerning global climatechange, one would hope thatwe would pay much more at-tention to our planet and whatwe are doing to it. Earth day isat least one day where we

ought to stop and say: ‘oops.’”M. J. F.

“Why do we celebrateEarthDay onApril 22?Whydowe celebrate Christmas on the25th. Andwhy dowe celebrateEaster on that special Sunday.

“Being a senior citizen Icelebrate Earth Day everyday as I gaze out thewindow inthe morning and as long as Isee the green side of the grassand not the brown side I feelfine, lucky, and blessed.”

D.J.

“To answer your weeklyquestion ... nothing. EarthDayis simply a left-wing effort toindoctrinate the school chil-dren. It's roots are in pagan-ism.

“There is nothing wrongwith being concerned aboutthe environment, it's just thatthe movement goes to the ex-treme. The environmentalmovement is out of control.The EPA is a good example.The federal government usesit for its own benefit.”

C.C.

“Wetry, inourhousehold, toobserve Earth Day every day,and not just once a year.

“It pains us to see howmany people still don't carryreuseable grocery bags and

still buy 24 packs of bottledwater that usually comes frommunicipal sources.

“People must not realizethat plastic is partially madefrom oil and most of thoseplastic bottles (that never de-compose) are hardly ever re-cycled.

“A water filter and reus-able water bottle would savethe typical family hundreds ofdollars per year, and would bebetter than what is bottled.

“At one time protecting theearth and her resources usedto be an important subjecttaught often in our schools,but not anymore. What ashame, not to instill the love ofnature and its gentle care inour children.

“With all of the environ-mental damage being done toour earth in the name ofgreedy energy producers ev-ery person should be consci-

entious in reducing and com-bining errands, in turning offappliances and lights not be-ing used, and recycling asmuch as possible.

“The earth thatwe are leav-ing for our children, grand-children and their childrenlooks pretty bleak. We couldall do more, and should, everyday.”

J.B.

“I'll volunteer at a booth forCitizens Climate Lobby at theSawyer Point celebration.We'll educate people on thebest ways to reduce GlobalWarming.

“I believe that Earth Dayhasgrown in scopeandnow in-cludes genetically modifiedcrops, chemicals in our foodchain, water conservation,and of course, global warm-ing.”

D.B.

I have attended most ofthe Union Township trusteemeetings over the last fouryears. On many occasions Isaw the (former) trusteesapprove rezoning requests inthe name of economic devel-opment even when townshipresidents residing near theland being rezoned objectedor had concerns.

Last November the resi-dents of Union Townshipelected two new trustees. Atthe Union Township trusteemeeting on April 10, 2014,they showed it truly is a newday in Union Township.

A request was before thetrustees to rezone two par-cels of land on the northernend of Nine Mile road fromresidential to planned devel-opment. The rezoning re-quest was to accommodatethe construction of threecommercial buildings and a

bulk propanestorage anddistributionfacility.

A numberof residentsliving on NineMile and El-len Drive(also adjacentto the proper-ty being dis-cussed) at-

tended and spoke of theirconcerns regarding the safe-ty of the bulk propane stor-age and distribution facility.An incident from the 1990swas cited where such a facil-ity exploded in Batavia caus-ing damage and injuries.

The most memorable resi-dent to voice their concernswas a young mother with her2-year-old daughter by herside. She was not only con-cerned about the safety of

her family with the propanestorage facility only 300 feetfrom her house but con-cerned what would happen tothe resale value of her andher neighbors’ homes.

Trustees McGraw andAcres voted to allow theproperty to be rezoned toaccommodate the commer-cial buildings, but included arestriction blocking the pro-pane storage and distributionfacility.

It was wonderful to seetwo elected officials listeningto and addressing the con-cerns of the very residentsthey were elected to repre-sent. They did not pursueeconomic development at allcosts and ignore the townshipresidents.

They worked out a solutionto allow the property ownerto still develop their land, butput boundaries in place lim-

iting the storage of potential-ly hazardous material withinhundreds of feet of residen-tial properties.

Representing the citizensfirst is a great concept thathopefully catches on with afew more of our elected offi-cials.

As a side note, TrusteeBeamer vote AGAINST therestriction that prohibitedthe propane storage and dis-tribution facility. Perhaps thetownship residents shouldremember that vote and hisformer support of spendingtax dollars on developmentslike Jungle Jim’s when he isup for election in 2015.

We have found a few goodmen in Trustees McGraw andAcres. Let’s keep up the trendin future local elections.

MIAMITWP.—Mayhem is ev-erywhere.

That’s the slogan for thepopular Allstate Insurancecommercials featuring abrash, destructive characterknown as Mayhem.

Now, there’s an other May-hem sweeping the nation.

“Fashion by Mayhem” is ablog started by Miami Town-ship resident Angie Keiser. Itfeatures Keiser’s four-year-old daughter, Sydney, playingdress up.

The twist is Sydney playsdress up with outfits the twomake together out of paper,tape and not much else.

Mayhem is a nicknameKeiser gave her daughter be-cause, as Sydney says, “I’mnotquiet and I never sit still.”

When running low on inspi-ration for dresses, which theymake virtually every day, theduo turned to Hollywood’s redcarpet for ideas. Sydneypicked a few dresses she likedand they made them.

Katy Perry. Taylor Swift.Jennifer Lawrence.

“It’s just for fun,” Sydneysaid.

Regardless, she outdidthem all. For thousands of dol-lars less.

Keiser, who runs a photog-raphy studiowithherhusband,Keith, in Milford, took photosof Sydney in the stylish dress-es and posted them on her blogand Instagram account.

Then the national media gotinterested.

“Mayhem. It’s not just anickname for ourkid anymore.It very accurately describes

the past five days of our lives,”Keiser wrote on her blogMarch 2.

After an interview with afriend in New York City wassyndicated by The HuffingtonPost everyone wanted a pieceof the two.

“Wewereveryaggressivelypursued to do TV,”Keiser said.

Another brief phone inter-view turned into pictures thatwere shared on the “TodayShow.” Keiser said she didn’tknow the pictures would beused on television.

They were.Since then Keiser received

more than 700 emails withmedia requests from all overthe world. Everything fromGlobo TV in Brazil to newspa-per publications in Germany,France and more.

“You don’t know who’s realand who’s not,” Keiser said.

“It’s the weirdest thing toget messages about Singaporetelevision.”

The photography businessestablished by her husband,Keith, was flooded with phonecalls and Keiser’s cell phonenumber was leaked.

That’s when she contactedtheMiamiTownshipPoliceDe-partment and got an attorneyinvolved to help deal with thedifferent offers coming in —from licensing deals to bookoffers.

“You start realizing youchild’s photo is all over theworld. It’s a little scary,” Keis-er said.

Keiser had 1,011 Instagramfollowers a few weeks ago.That number jumped to319,000 after the “TodayShow”segment.

Keiser gained about 1,000followers during a recent 45minute interview and a weeklater reached more than334,000 followers.

Asked what makes peoplegravitate to the story, her hus-band shrugged.

“I wish I knew,” Keith said.Whenpressed, he said itwas

the relationship betweenmother and daughter so manycould relate to.

For Angie, making paperdresses was never about fash-ion—or getting famous. It wasabout spending quality timewith her daughter.

“People have told me thatthe world is looking for goodnews stories,” Keiser said.

“They found it.”

Harsha Lake at East ForkState Park in Clermont Countyhas landed the 2015 USRowingClub National Championships,one of the largest summer re-gattas in the country.

USRowing, the nonprofitgoverning body for the sport ofrowing in the U.S., announcedMonday that the event will beheld July 15-19, 2015. About

1,800 athletes are expected toparticipate.

Capturing the event couldstart a revival for Harsha Lakeas a rowing venue. The lakehosted theUSRowingYouthNa-tional Championships from1995 to 2010, and the NationalCollegiate Rowing Champion-ships from1983 to1996,USRow-ing said.

“It is great to have HarshaLake back on the nationalscene,” said A.J. Dominique,

USRowing’s events manager.“Therearenotmanyseven-lanerace courses in the country.”

As the lake’s rowing facili-ties declined in recent years,several premier events wentelsewhere. So county officials,elected leaders and the Cler-mont County Convention andVisitors Bureau have recentlysought funding for upgrades.

The county is still awaitingword from the state on a $3mil-lion capital funding request for

improvements to Harsha Lake.The U.S. Army Corps of Engi-neers owns most of East ForkState Park and leases it to theOhioDepartmentofNaturalRe-sources.

“The public has already paidfor the facility to be createdover the last 30 years. We havethe ability tomake it somethinggreat at quite a reasonable out-lay,” said Paul Schmid, headcoach for Clermont Crew,which will co-host the champi-

onships at East Fork in partner-ship with USRowing.

Capturing the 2015 eventwillbe a boon to local hotels, whichshould see an influx of severalthousand visitors in addition tothe crews. Clermont CountyCommissionerDavidUible saidthe economic impact, includingrestaurant and retail spending,could approach $2 million.

This year’s USRowing ClubNational Championshipswill bein Oak Ridge, Tenn.

I was out working inmy herb garden yester-day when it dawned onme howmuch I appreci-ate the healing qualitiesof common culinaryherbs that I grow andwhich I use when teach-

ing class-es. In fact,I can’tthink ofone culi-nary herbthatdoesn’t doa bodygood.

Whenyou knowhow

healthy an herb is foryou, you’ll tend to use itmore and appreciate itsqualities.

Right now our gardenstores have an abun-dance of herbs with goodprices, so I hope thiscolumn encourages youto grow, and use moreherbs. And get the kidsinvolved, too. You will beamazed at how adventur-ous they become witheating when they growtheir own herbs.

»Dill: Used through-out the ages as a remedyfor babies’ colic, it’s acalming herb for diges-tion, and helps promotesleep, due to its calciumcontent. Dill seed oil isantibacterial, and chew-ing a few seeds after ameal helps digestion andfreshens breath.

» Fennel: A cousin todill, fennel has a mildlicorice flavor. It helpsfreshen breath, aids di-gestion, balances appe-tite and relieves gas. Thebonus is the swallowtail

butterfly loves fennel soif you see a tiger-stripedgreen and black caterpil-lar on fennel, let it aloneand you’ll be rewardedwith a beautiful pollina-tor to your garden.

» Chamomile: Remem-ber when Peter Rabbit’smom gave him chamo-mile tea after he hoppedhome fromMr. McGre-gor’s garden? Chamomilemakes an apple-scentedtea that helps calm thenerves and soothes diges-tion.

» Peppermint: Wheneach of us nine kids lefthome, we were allowedsprigs of Mom’s heirloompeppermint. An invasiveperennial herb, grow it ina container if you don’thave room for it. Awe-some for colds andcoughs with its high vita-min C content, and alsofor muscle aches andtension headaches. Plusit’s a great digestiveherb, as well.

» Thyme: Like anherbal medicine chest.Thyme’s volatile oil,thymol, has both antisep-tic and antibacterialqualities. Thyme andsage tea relieves sorethroats. The best culi-nary thymes are thebushy/mounding ones,like French and English.French, to my palate, hasa sweeter, less pepperyflavor, than English.

» Rosemary: Thispiney tasting herb haslots of antioxidants andmay help prevent somecancers. It is good for thememory, too.

» Basil: Potassium andiron, along witharomatherapy qualities,

makes this herb so good.With its clove/licoricelike flavor, sweet greenbasil is the most commonbasil.

Howdy Folks;As I write this the snow is 1 inch on

our truck; just yesterday it was in the60s, WOW, what a change, but folks sayif you live in this area, the weather canchange quickly.

We hope you had a happy Easter,sorry we forgot to wish you happyEaster last week.

I wrote about my hometown, therewere some businesses I missed. One ofthem is the Ben Franklin Store, thesame family has been there 70 years.Now there has been three generationsthere, but if you need anything in the

fabric, crafts, candy,framing, and more, any-thing else the store hasit.

Now I will tell youabout our cat, 'Chester.'He got his fuss ballcaught in the Velcro in abelt Ruth Ann uses. Hetried for over a half hourto get it loose. He had iton the couch and wouldfall off, with the belt,

then he would run and jump on the fussball. That didn't work either.

Then he would try to pull the balloff. He was getting frustrated, then hegrabbed the belt and ran, dragging it tothe bedroom. Ruth Ann went and tookthe fussball off the Velcro. Chester wasby that time tired so he laid at RuthAnn's feet and took a nap.

Now this is not the end of Chester'sactivities. The other morning at 6:30 hewas getting hungry. Now he has dryfood in his bowl, but that is not thecanned food. He started trying to wakeme by pawing me on the shoulder, thatdid wake me, but I acted like I was stillasleep.

After a few paws on my shoulder hebit me very lightly on the arm. Hejumped down on the bed watching tosee if that got my attention. Well, it did.I raised up and he took off for thekitchen then Ruth Ann went out andgave him some canned food.

During the good warmweather,Ruth Ann leaves the kitchen door openand the screen door shut. This hasChester's attention. He will sit and lookout and see a squirrel; he gets excited.When one of us are outside he is un-happy and keeps running around, thenwhen that one comes in, he is veryhappy. What a blessing he is.

I forgot to write about the U.S.Grant Career Center dinner, will be

held on April 26 starting at 5 P.M. Theprice for the dinner is $5. The schooldoes this to thank the community fortheir support.

The greenhouse will also be open atthis time. If you have never been thereyou are missing one of the best dinnersof your life. The students do the cook-ing with the help of Ray and Gary.These fellers are good.

Last Saturday the Owensville His-torical Society held a meeting andplanned the year’s activities and get-ting ready for the fair, and ready toopen the log cabin for the summer.There is always plenty of work to getready for the year, with the museumand log cabin, we hope plenty of folkswill turn out to help.

The Old Bethel M.E. Church here atEast Fork had a wedding last Saturdayfor a granddaughter of Carl and Juani-ta Ely; there was a large crowd. Thebride and groomwere very beautiful.These young folks will have memoriesof her grandpa to last a lifetime. Thisalways pleases Ruth Ann and me.

There are some special events com-ing up, one is C.A.S.A. which is a pro-gram to benefit Clermont Kids fromthe Juvenile Court. This is held at theReceptions Conference Center at East-gate, on April 25th from 6 p.m. until10:30 P.M. For information you may call732-7169.

The next one is Grants Farm andGreenhouses’ Open House, at theirBucktown location, the state. Route 131location, and at the Milford GardenCenter. They offer 20 percent off on allpurchases the weekend of April 26 and27. Ruth Ann and I will be there on the27.

The next one is Grassy RunRendezvous, at the Williamsburg Park,on the 25th is for school kids, then it isopen to the public on the 26th and 27th.The Grange will not be there this year.TheWilliamsburg Eastern Star will bedoing the food booth.

The Boars Head Bait Shop held aCrappie Tournament last Sunday andthe fishing is getting better. The win-ner had about 6 lbs. of crappie; onefeller had a crappie 17 inches long.

Stat your week by going to theHouse of worship of your choice andpraise the Good Lord. God Bless All.More Later.

UNION TWP. — Town-ship Administrator KenGeis says the Air Careemergency medical heli-copter temporarily basedat the Union TownshipCivic Center will be re-maining a little longer –and possibly be availablefor longer amounts oftime there every day.

The University of Cin-cinnati Medical Centerowns the helicopter,named Air Care 3, and inApril 2013 assigned it tothe township’s civic cen-ter at 4350 Aicholtz Roadwhile it looked for a placewhere it could build ahangar to house it.

A representative forthe hospital’s Air Care &Mobile Care division said

last September that AirCare 3 would soon bemoved to a new place —which she declined toname – believed to be inthe best location to servepeople in the eastern por-tion of the region.

Air Care 3 now is avail-able for service at an un-protected helipad inUnion Township from 11a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.

The recently refur-bished helicopter hasbeen spending nights in ahangar at the ButlerCounty Regional Airportin Fairfield, where thereis staff around the clockand it is protected fromthe weather.

Geis also said Air Careis asking to allowAirCare3 to be available for ser-vice inUnionTownship 24hours a day.

Volunteers are neededfrom 9 a.m. to noon Satur-day, May 3, for the Cler-mont-East Fork spring lit-ter clean-up.

The Valley View Foun-dation and the East ForkWatershed Collaborativeare working togetheragain this year to host theannual event.

Since 1992 people wholive, work and play inClermont County and theEast Fork Watershed,have come together totake part in the event.

“There are so many

dedicated volunteers, es-pecially in the Village ofAmelia,” said Julie Wart-man, AdministrativeManager for Amelia.“Volunteering brings ourcommunity together; ev-ery year I see more Ame-lia residents participateand take pride in our com-munity.”

This event marks the10th year of participationfor Milford Junior Highfamilies.

Rachelle Rapp, a Mil-ford Junior High teacherwhoorganizes the studentgroup each year, sees howthe event motivates stu-dents to protect the Earth

and become better stew-ards in their communi-ties.

“We had 150 partici-pants last year at ourclean-up site,” Rapp said.“Community service ex-periences like this helpstudents grow and influ-ences the way they thinkabout their environment.”

TheSpringClean-Up isan event for all ages.

A list of locations andan online registrationform can be found on theClermont Soil & WaterConservation District’swebsite.
