Schools have added morefresh fruits and vegeta-bles to its lunch menus.

“The students do likethe choice of the freshfruits and veggies, butthey do not like that theyare required to take afruit or veggie,” Smithsaid.

“Some students throwthe fruit or veggie thatthey are required to takeinto the garbage.

“Most children aretaught not to waste foodand, ‘don’t take it if youare not going to eat it,’ butwe are sending an oppo-site message: ‘Take it butyou don’t have to eat it,’”Smith said.

G. EdwardDyer, direc-tor of operations for theWest Clermont LocalSchool District, said stu-dents are adapting to theguidelines,whichare like-ly to get tougher.

School board memberTammy Brinkman is con-cerned that some stu-dents are merely throw-ing away the healthy foodand wonders if theamount of food trashed isbeing monitored.

“There are all kinds oframifications with thesechanges,” board memberSteve Waldmann said.

“It is an issue thatneeds to be closelywatched.”

has been a struggle tokeep the reimbursableratesupbecausemoststu-dents don’t want to eat re-quired federal offeringslike whole-grain chickennuggets and breads.”

“It’s frustrating thatour government steps inand makes the guidelineswhen they don’t really un-derstand how it affectsthe kids,” Hoerth said.

“It’s OK to be healthy,but youneed tohave somebalance.”

Mary Smith, food ser-vice director for the Be-thel-Tate Local Schools,said fewer students arebuying lunch since thenewguidelinesbeganroll-ing out during the 2011-2012 school year.

“More students arebringing unhealthylunches from home thatinclude chips and softdrinks to school,” Smithsaid.

“I don’t think that is thegovernment’s goal, butthat is what is happening.

“I think thatwedoneedchanges to the lunch/breakfast programs, butbaby steps are more easi-ly digested than largeones,” Smith said.

Lunch

WHAT ARE THE REGULATIONS?State and federal regulations that started rolling out in

2011 and 2012 are aimed at making sure schools are feed-ing students.Senate Bill 210, the Healthy Choices for Children Act,

restricts the sale of certain foods and beverages to studentsduring the regular school day and before- and after-schoolprograms in school districts, community schools, and non-public schools.The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 aims to pro-

vide the more than 31million children who receive mealsthrough the school lunch program with healthy food.The act authorizes funding for federal school meal and

child nutrition programs and increases access to healthyfood for low-income children. It reauthorized child nutri-tion programs for five years and included $4.5 billion innew funding for those programs over 10 years.The act, intended to improve nutrition and reduce child-

hood obesity, is being implemented in stages, with re-quirements and higher standards added each year.» In 2011, Ohio schools banished carbonated beverages

from vending machines and said at least half of the drinksoffered must be water or zero-calorie beverages. TheHealthy Choices for Children Act focused on drinks andsnacks and addressed the sugar, fat and sodium content ofa la carte foods sold during school hours, as well as food invending machines and at after-school programs.» In the 2012-2013 school year, lunch programs were

required to offer fruit daily, and vegetable subgroups –dark green such as broccoli, collard greens, spinach; red/orange, such as carrots and sweet potatoes; beans/peassuch as kidney beans, or lentils; starchy,including corn,green peas, white potatoes and others such as onions,green beans, and cucumbers to meet a five-cup weeklytotal.» Half of all grains were required to be whole-grain rich,

which means they contain at least 50 percent whole grains.This includes the breading used on chicken tenders orchicken nuggets. Schools were required to offer fat-freeflavored milk and were allowed to offer low-fat unfla-vored milk as well.» Calorie ranges were set for students by age groupings

for lunch: grade level K-five, 550-650 calories; grade levelsix-eight, 600-700 calories; grade level nine-12, 750-800calories. No transfat per portion is allowed.» In 2013-14, calorie ranges were set for students by age

groupings for breakfast: grade level K-five, 350-500 calo-ries; grade level 6-8, 400-500 calories; and grade level 9-12,450-600 calories.» In the 2014-2015 school year, food service will begin to

lower the sodium content of food served for breakfast andlunch.» In 2012, a high school lunch had about 1,600 milligrams

of sodium. Through incremental changes, that amountlowers over the next decade to 740 milligrams or less ofsodium for grades through nine through 12; 710 milligramsor less for grades six through eight; 640 milligrams or lessfor kindergarten through fifth-grades.» The rules will require the menu to increase fruit to a

minimum of one cup per day. All grains at breakfast andlunch must be whole-grain rich. Reimbursable breakfastsmust now include a fruit or vegetable.The act gives the USDA the authority to set nutritional

standards for all foods regularly sold in schools during theschool day, including vending machines, the “a la carte”lunch lines, and school stores and it provides additionalfunding to schools that meet updated nutritional stan-dards for federally-subsidized lunches.Ohio’s seeing progress under the bill; it now stands 10th

on a USDA list of states with the worst “food insecurity,” aterm used to describe the state of being without reliableaccess to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritiousfood. The state has been improving since the healthy foodact was passed in 2010, when it was eighth.

tivity.” Goldsberry likedthe idea. Because theagency doesn’t have ahuge budget for its pre-vention program, Coleapproached local busi-nesses to pay for the pro-ject.

Neff Landscape &Garden Center in Bata-via donated 10 vegetableplants. Merchants Na-

tional Bank in Bataviagave the center $200,which Cole and Jonesused to purchase garden-ing supplies, and Cole’shusband built the gardenbedswith leftoverboardsfrom his job.

Employees now sug-gest that their clients vis-it the garden duringbreaks. Adolescents incenter programs alsohelp water and weed thegarden.

People can see thebenefit of their labor,”

said Kathy Menard, whohandles fiscal accountspayable for the ClermontRecovery Center. “Theyenjoy eating things thatthey’ve grown.”

Cole said research onhorticultural therapyshows that gardens canhelp those who abuse

drugs or alcohol.“Besides teaching

people new skills, a gar-den can help with stressreduction,” she said. “Itgives clients a sense ofpurpose and achieve-ment to watch thingsthey’ve cared for growand develop into fruitsand vegetables...It’ssomething they can do intheir down time becauseidol hands can be a trig-ger to use substances.”

Bethel, Felicity girls optimistic

BETHEL — As the morningdew glistens on the puttinggreen, the Bethel-Tate HighSchool boys golf teamhas beenback for their early gatheringsat Friendly Meadows.

Brett Harris is now in histhird year leading the Tigerson their home course that sits afew good wood shots betweenthe high school and Hamers-ville on Ohio 125.

The Tigers move from theSouthern Buckeye Confer-ence-American Division to theNational this season, whichshould help as they finishedfourth behind larger schoolsWestern Brown, Amelia andNew Richmond last fall.

“It’s going to be kind of adogfight,” Harris said. “I knowGeorgetown lost two of thebest three players. We have achance maybe to sneak in andsurprise some players. I knowBlanchester has some seniorsthat are pretty good andCNE ispretty good.”

Junior Mitchell McElfresh,senior Joey Smith and juniorJacob Dahlheimer return asthe Tigers top players and thesquad will add a female thisseason in sophomore GraysonMcQueary. Like a few otherClermont County schools, Be-thel-Tate does not have a sepa-rategirls teamso theycompetewith the guys.

“It’s not really new to theleague, but it’s new for us,”Harris said. “The disadvan-tage is she has to play from thewhite tees, she doesn’t get toplay up on the red.”

The upside for McQueary isshe dates McElfresh, whichcould be a McAdvantage.

McElfreshmade thedistricttournament at Weatherwaxlast seasonandwasa first teamall-league performer.

“He’s been working all sum-mer,” Harris said. “His ballstriking is as good as it was lastyear and he’s sneaky long. Thissummer, we really worked onhis short game so he can con-sistently get up and down andnot make the bogeys he madelast year.”

Smith is another taller golf-

er like McElfresh who shouldhelp the Tigers.

“He had some really goodrounds for us last year,”Harrissaid. “He probably has some ofthe best hands I’ve evercoached. He could probablyfall out of bed and get up anddown from 40 yards.”

Junior Blake Combs andsenior Jacob Trabish round outthe squad.

Taking over the Felicity-Franklin golf program is JasonLumpkin, who has some golf inhis bloodashis father is theproat Highlands Golf Course inKentucky.

He started the ball rollingby holding a nine-hole scram-ble fundraiser at ColonialPines off of Ohio 222.

Devon Christensen, JordanUtter and Lexi Beckford arereturning players, with Lexijoining the boys since the girls

don’t have a team. Also joiningthe squad is first-time playerand senior Austin May andfreshman Paul Smith.

Lumpkin is a math teacherwho hopes to offer up instruc-tion in low numbers on thecourse. Christensen and Utterare in a battle to the be the topplayer.

“Jordan is doing nothing butimproving, so I’m hoping I canget a little competition be-tween those two,” he said.

Utterwas second teamSBC-National a year ago for thefifth-place Cardinals.

“Last yearwas the first yearwe brought the golf teamback,” Lumpkin said. “Thisyearwe’re trying to kick it up anotch. We absolutely plan oncompeting in the league. I havea lot of knowledge to give frommy Dad.”

FIRST SWING AT 2014HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS TENNIS

EAST END — Turns outMary Queen of Scotsdidn’t need a stick afterall.

With the arrival of footgolf in Cincinnati, all thepurported inventor of theancient gameneededwas,well, a foot. And a soccerball.

The latest iteration oftraditional golf - kicking asoccer ball around thecourse instead of usingclubs - arrived earlier thissummer at Reeves GolfCourse in the East Endand Woodland GolfCourse in Western Hills.Glenview Golf Course inGlendale will add a four-hole foot course as well.Friendly Meadows Golf

Course near Bethel offi-cially opens its foot golfcourse Aug. 9.

Woodland - a nine-holetraditional course - puttwo different foot holesnear each green to makean 18-hole foot course.Reeves uses the par-threecourse along the Beech-mont Levee for its footgolf.

“All the feedbackwe’ve gotten has beenreally positive,” said PaulHolzderber of Billy Cas-perGolf, themanagementcompany operating theCincinnati RecreationCommission courses. “Iknow there have beensome repeat players.Some of the younger guyshave been spreading theword. We haven’t evenstartedmarketing it, real-

ly.”Brad Poppell of Mil-

fordheardabout thegamebywordofmouth and see-ing Facebook posts aboutit. He coaches a U9 boysteam in the CincinnatiSoccer Alliance Programand brought some of hisplayers - including his sonBradley - to Reeves for around July 31.

It was the second tripfor the Poppells, whileEvan Chesnut, WilliamWalker and his cousinChristian Trottier - visit-ing from Toronto, Canada- played for the first time.The boys gave a unani-mous thumbsup to the ex-perience

“It’s reallygood techni-cal work for the kids,” theelder Poppell said. “A lotof the other coaches are

starting to bring theirkids down, too. It’s well-priced, it’s fast and it’sfun. I think it’s going tocatch on well.”

Poppell said he and hisfour young playing part-ners got around the nine-hole par three course atReeves in about an hour,and that was with a fewholdups waiting for tradi-tional golfers to hole out.

He likened the tee shot toagoalkickandputting toatouch pass.

“It’s a great way forthese guys to work ontheir soccergamewithoutit being a bunch of drills,”he said.

SaidWalker, “You haveto decide pretty fast ifyou’re going to use yourinside foot (instep) or theoutside. It’s a competitive

game.”Amy Timon - regional

director of marketing forCasper Golf - said thegame is already popularin the Washington, D.C.,area and is growing inChicago, Michigan andFlorida.

“It’s an idea we heardabout and liked and wewanted to try here,” shesaid.

A bill recently signed intolaw by President Obama – theWorkforce Innovation and Op-portunity Act (WIOA) – willhelp stabilize our public work-force system and assist jobseekers in gaining the skills andtraining required for the jobs oftoday and tomorrow.

The act is a great example ofbipartisanship in action and willplay a vital role in gettingmoreOhioans back to work.

TheWorkforce Innovationand Opportunity Act continuesthe important work of theWorkforce Investment Act, thelargest single source of federalfunding for workforce devel-opment activities which sendsnearly $3 billion each year tostates including Ohio to helpadults, displaced workers andyouth receive skills training

and get jobs.WorkforceInnovation andOpportunityAct will alsosupport a net-work of thou-sands of one-stop employ-ment centersin the U.S. thatassist in jobsearch support

and education. Workforce In-vestment Act has been overduefor reauthorization and neededadjustment many times in thelast 16 years due to our chang-ing economy.

TheWorkforce Innovationand Opportunity Act is ap-proved through 2020. It mod-ernizes and improves theWork-force Investment Act by ex-

panding access to technologyand digital literacy skills foradult learners, requiringmorecoordination and integration ofadult education services be-tween state workforce devel-opment systems and post-sec-ondary education and focusingon industry partnerships fortraining and career pathwaydevelopment.

Through the new law, Ohio’sone-stop employment centers –OhioMeansJobs – will be able tocontinue to provide free em-ployment-related services tojob seekers and employerssuch as educational workshops,career coaching and job leads.Locally, OhioMeansJobs Cincin-nati-Hamilton County will alsobe able to continue providingresidents with direct servicessuch as free hiring events,

on-the-job training, transporta-tion and literally thousands ofjob postings.

OtherWorkforce Innovationand Opportunity Act improve-ments include:

» increases support for peo-ple with disabilities, allowingthem to enter and remain in thecompetitive workforce.

» streamlines and consoli-dates programs to more strate-gically align training, educationand vocational rehabilitation.

» improves outreach forout-of-school youth. WorkforceInnovation and Opportunity Actrequires increased funding fordropout recovery programsand other strategies that helpdisconnected youth not only getback into school but also pre-pared for jobs and post-second-ary education.

Workforce Innovation andOpportunity Act is a step to-ward enhanced job skills train-ing across the U.S. This lawcould be the impetus for get-ting more job seekers equippedwith the most in-demand skillsnecessary for today’s modernworld and for the workforce oftomorrow. Let’s salute the col-laborative efforts taken by ourelected leadership to grow ourworkforce in this recoveringeconomy, and let’s continue towork together to develop betterjob opportunities and skillstraining for our community.

Hugh L. Nichols received a telephone callat his Batavia home from his friend, Ohio Gov.James Cox. The call was of historic signif-icance.

The governor greeted Nichols with “Goodmorning, Mr. Chief Justice.”Nichols had just been ap-pointed the first Chief Jus-tice of the Ohio SupremeCourt, a position he wouldhold from Sept. 22, 1913, untilDec. 31, 1920.

Nichols was born in NewRichmond onMarch 25, 1865.After graduating from Bata-via High School, he attendedOhio Weslyan University.While a student at the Uni-versity of Cincinnati law

school, Nichols wrote a column for the Cincin-nati Enquirer. He earned accolades for anextensive article he wrote about U.S. Grant’sdeath based on interviews with the president’sfamily and friends.

He began practicing law in Batavia with hisbrother Allen. Ten years later he was electedto the Ohio Senate. In 1910 he managed JudsonHarmon’s gubernatorial campaign againstWarren Harding. Despite the efforts of for-mer President Theodore Roosevelt on Har-ding’s behalf, Harmon won by 100,000 votes.After the election, Nichols analyzed the elec-tion returns, discovering that Harmon’s totalsincreased where Roosevelt campaigned. Nich-ols wired his thanks to the former president.

The next two years were politically busyfor Nichols. He was appointed lieutenant gov-ernor by Gov. Judson Harmon to fill a vacancyand in 1911 presided over the Ohio Senatebribery trials. The following year he waselected lieutenant governor on the James Coxticket. Also in 1912 he gained national atten-tion by managing Hudson’s unsuccessful bidfor the Democrat presidential nomination.Hudson lost to WoodrowWilson, who laterdefeated both WilliamHoward Taft of Cincin-nati and Theodore Roosevelt.

When Nichols became chief justice, theSupreme Court was faced with significantchallenges, hearing cases on “workers com-pensation, government reorganization, high-way building” and issues interpreting Ohio’snew Constitution. An observer commentedthat Nichols’ tenure was characterized byhis”…tact, diplomacy, fairness, and courtesy.”He lost his bid for re-election in the 1920 Re-publican landslide.

After leaving the bench, Nichols returnedto private practice, establishing a Cincinnatibased law firm.

In 1922 Nichols was appointed co-chair ofthe U.S. Grant Centennial Commission, cele-brating Clermont’s favorite son’s 100th birth-

day. He accepted the appointment upon thecondition that the Grant cottage be returnedto Point Pleasant from Columbus. PresidentHarding was the featured speaker at the well-attended event, where the Grant MemorialBridge was dedicated.

Nichols was known not only for his politicaland legal accomplishments, but for his chari-table acts as well. In addition to serving as thelong time president of the Clermont CountyAmerican Red Cross, he helped out the un-fortunate in his community.

A tribute stated, “He really believed it wasmore blessed to give than receive and he prac-ticed it continuously throughout his life…food,coal, and clothing were often delivered bytradesmen to his less fortunate neighbors,who never knew fromwhom it came.”

Hugh Nichols died Dec. 29, 1942, and isburied in Batavia’s Union Cemetery.

Gary Knepp is a Batavia attorney who teaches historyand political science at U.C. Clermont. He, his wife,and daughter, live in Miami Township.

During the early sum-mer months, we till andhoe the garden and evenpull up the weeds byhand.

Seems like foreverbefore any of the gardenproduce is ready to eat,and then all of a sudden,everything is ripe. Hoe-ing, tilling and weedingtake a back seat to har-vesting. Tomatoes, cu-cumbers, squash, ber-

ries, corn,beans areall at theirpeak. Ineed acrew justto helpharvest!

Butreally, I’mnot com-plaining,because

there is truly nothing likepicking a ripe tomato offthe vine and biting into it,juice running downmychin and all. Or snappingthe ends of freshlypicked green beans andeating a few as I go.

If your garden is bear-ing abundantly, too, you’llappreciate the recipesI’m sharing today.

Fresh tomato tartFriend Terry Halpin is

a busy nurse practitionerand she told me this wasa hit at her house. Somefolks like to squeeze outpart of the juice and seedthe tomatoes before slic-ing so they’re not toojuicy in the tart. Theflour in the bottom of thecrust helps it stay crisp.

1 piecrust1 tablespoon flour8 oz. Mozzarella, Mon-

terey Jack or combo ofboth

Salt and pepper totaste

1/2 to 1 cup mayon-naise, regular or light(start out with 1/2 cup; iftoo thick to spread, add abit more as needed)

3-4 tomatoes, sliced,enough to make a layer

1 nice bunch greenonions, sliced thin

Handful of fresh basil,chopped, about 1/4 cup orso, or 2 scant teaspoonsdry

Preheat oven to 400.Prick crust and prebake10 minutes. Dust bottomwith flour. Mix cheese,

salt and pepper andmayo. Spread thin layerover crust. Lay tomatoslices on top. Spread restof cheese mixture overtomatoes. Sprinkle withgreen onions and basil.Smooth top, pushingonions and basil intocheese mixture. Bakeabout 20 minutes or untilpuffed and golden.

Warm Dijon potatosalad with greenbeans

I’ve mentioned beforethat I’ve worked withDave Lieberman, foodnetwork celebrity andcookbook author. I likeDave’s recipes becausethey are easy and fun toserve. Here’s one of histhat I adapted only slight-ly. I put the salad on alarge oval platter insteadof a bowl. It was prettyand no one had to dig toget a spoonful of bothpotatoes and beans.

2-1/2 to 3 pounds Fin-gerling or small red pota-toes

1 pound green beans,

trimmed1/2 generous cup real

mayonnaise2 generous table-

spoons Dijon mustard1 large shallot minced1/4 cup red wine vine-

gar or more to tasteSalt and pepper to

tasteHandful parsley,

choppedPlace potatoes in pot

and cover with cold wa-ter. Salt the water gener-ously, bring to a boil andcook until the potatoesare fork tender, about 15minutes or so. Drain.Bring another pot ofsalted water to a boil andthrow the beans in justfor a minute or two untilthey turn bright green.Strain and run them un-der cold water to stop thebeans from cooking. In amixing bowl combine theremaining ingredientsand whisk until smooth.Cut the potatoes in halflengthwise and then intoroughly 1 inch chunks.Cut beans in half. I like tocut them on the diagonal.Toss the potato chunks in

the dressing and thentoss in the green beansand the parsley. Add saltand pepper to taste.

How to tell whengrilled corn is tender.

Charlie, a Kentuckyreader, wondered how totell when his grilled cornin the husk was ready toeat. “I pull the husk backbut that’s a nuisance”, hesaid. Follow Cook’s Il-lustrated tip: As soon asthe husk picks up thedark silhouette of ker-nels and begins to pullaway from the tip of theear, it’s done.

Howdy Folks,Last Wednesday we

got the chance to go fish-ing and caught a nicebunch of crappie. Thatwill be for some goodeating.

Ruth Ann had a Pet-scan for a spot on herlung, we don’t know theresults yet. We are pray-ing it is nothing serious.

We had a treat lastweek, our daughter Deb-by brought her grand-daughter (our great-granddaughter) Brooklynover and we picked ripetomatoes. I told Ruth Annwhen we planted them Iwould like for her to picksome ripe tomatoes. I gotmy wish. Ruth Ann has

startedcanningtomatoesandmadelime pick-les. Thegarden isstarting toproduceripe toma-toes, cu-cumbers

and zucchini. I picked abasket full of cranberrybeans which is a shellbean Sunday afternoon,also some roma tomatoesand cucumbers.

If you will bear withme I am going to writeabout my town, Bethel.Friday evening there wasa special meeting to in-

troduce folks to the mu-seum in the Grant Memo-rial Building. There hasbeen a lot of work done toit and a plaque was ded-icated to a couple folks.These two folks havedone a lot to keep themuseum going and giventhe honor for all the dedi-cation work they havedone since the museumwas started in 1972.

The town of Bethel issprucing up with the newsidewalks, a new watertower and newwaterlines. The old ones havebeen in use for manyyears. They are in theprocess of getting sometelephone lines takendown from over head,

and put into conduit un-derground by CincinnatiBell. They are working tomake the area look bet-ter.

There is so much tosee in Bethel, so slowdown and take a goodlook as you come intotown. There are restau-rants for some good food,a fine store the BethelIGA, then a very goodfeed mill with plenty ofall kinds of items, autorepair shops, gas stations,churches, the PickersParadise, the free cloth-ing store, two hardwarestores, and so many oth-ers. I could probably goon, but you get the pic-ture of my town, so stop,browse and shop a littlewhile. You might be sur-prised at what you find

and the warmwelcomeyou will get.

Saturday wemade agallon of pineapple icecream for the Sundayevening program and icecream party the BethelUnitedMethodist Churchhad in their parking lot.This was a great time.

TheMonroe Grangehad their regular cardparty last Saturday eve-ning with a good turn out.Everyone had a goodtime. Ruth Ann and Bon-nie had a meeting of thejunior grangers to finishtheir projects. After theyare judged, the winnersgo to the State GrangeConvention in October.

The OVAMmachineryshow was Aug. 7-Aug. 10.It was a great event. Thisyear the honor was for

International Harvesters.The grandMarshall wasRonnie Griffith, he hasbeen a main spoke in thatorganization for manyyears. CongratulationsRonnie from the ole fish-erman and wife. Thisshow is one of the best. Itshows the children howfolks lived and worked inthe good old days.

Now I had better eatbreakfast so I can moweight acres of grass.

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