That’s because village of- ficials will only allow partici- pants to hand candy to resi- dents this year. “One of these days some- one is going to get hurt,” said Police Chief Mark Planck. “My biggest fear is a little kid getting run over.” Planck said candy often lands clear of oncoming vehi- cles, but then bounces back into the road creating a safety con- cern. Village Ad- ministrator Travis Dotson said another welcome change would be slowing down the speed of the pa- rade. “We did this for years with the Lion’s Club and most peo- ple couldn’t handle the speed,” Dotson said. “Slowing it down will make it safer for those walk- ing too,” said Jeremiah Hem- bree, council member. The parade is scheduled for 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 4, and will start at the middle school, 649 W. Plane St. Another upcoming parade is Bethel Down Home Christ- mas, scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 7. “We look forward to that every year,” Planck said, who organizes the parade with auxiliary officer John Wal- lace. “That goes against our li- ability insurance,” Dotson said. “Our insurance encour- ages us not to have any in- volvement in a public event.” Planck said he has “al- ways done it.” “Organizing a parade can be considered sponsoring a parade,” Dotson said. Other council members said they assumed members of the Community Savings Bank organized the event. “I’ve always done it on my own time,” Planck said. Planck may have orga- nized the event on his own time, but he is the Bethel po- lice chief “24/7,” said Mayor Alan Ausman. Wallace can continue to organize the event because he is only an auxiliary officer, but Planck told the village safety committee he would step down from the event. Throwing candy is banned at parade By Keith BieryGolick [email protected] Planck BETHEL — Residents who at- tend Bethel Church of Christ and Bethel Baptist Church might need to say a prayer be- fore turning onto Plane Street after Sunday services because there doesn’t appear to be a so- lution to their traffic problems. “I’ve had somebody from one of the churches complain about the parking on Plane Street Sun- day mornings,” Mayor Alan Ausman said during a recent village Safety Committee meet- ing. There are two churches within close proximity and resi- dents park on the street in front of them, which causes visibility problems, Ausman said. “I’m wondering if we can move the parking,” he said. Council member Jeremiah Hembree said spaces run into almost the middle of the churches’ front steps. “Outside of changing zoning is there anything we can do?” Hembree said. The amount of parking spots create problems, even though everyone follows proper proce- dure, Ausman said. “You just flat-out can’t see,” he said. Another problem spot is the intersection of Union and Plane streets because of the amount of people parked in front of the Midway Theater, Ausman said. “I don’t believe I have the au- thority to move parking spaces,” said Police Chief Mark Planck. The Union and Plane inter- section is more than a problem – it’s dangerous, said Priscilla Johnson, council member. “It’s (a) blind (intersection),” Johnson said. Trying to walk across the street residents must “go as fast as you can” to avoid getting hit, she said. Johnson said council should look into getting a light at the in- tersection. “That’s never going to hap- pen,” said Travis Dotson, vil- lage administrator. Dotson said traffic lights were put up, but they were nev- er warranted by the state so they had to be taken down be- cause there wasn’t enough traf- fic. “There’s a time of day you can get out and there’s a time of day you can’t,” Hembree said. Residents should try to use other routes to get to traffic lights on Charity and Main streets, he said. Parking in front of the Bethel Baptist Church on Plane Street is causing visibility issues for people trying to turn onto the street.

BATAVIA — The Cler-mont County Departmentof Job and Family Ser-vices wants to pay fostercare providers more tomake Clermont Countymore appealing in the re-gion.

Tim Dick, deputy di-rector of Job and FamilyServices, recently toldClermontCountycommis-sioners that the countyhasn’t changed its ratessince 2010, and with in-creased numbers of chil-dren being removed fromtheir biological familiesthe county needs to offermore incentives to keepthem in the county.

“It’s very difficultwheneveryougoouttothe

homewhere this abuseoc-curred at,” Dick said.

“And we know thatwe’re going to be drivingthem (1 1/2), two, and,sometimes, 4 1/2 hoursaway ... far away from thecommunity – far awayfromwhat they know.”

The county currentlyhas 344 children in its fos-tercaresystem,Dicksaid,and about 40 percent ofthe cases were removedfor drug-related reasons.

The department’s pro-posal isto increasethedai-ly pay for care providers$5 for children up to 5years old, and $10 for 6- to18-year-old youths in fos-ter homes.

Gas mileage reim-bursement would remainat40cents,butreimburse-ment for day care ex-

penses would increase to$125 aweek from $100.

The county currentlypays about $65 a day fornetwork service provid-ers–fostercareprovidersoutside the county – and$19 a day for children in

Clermont County fosterhomes, Dick said.

“Initially this will havea financial impact on us,”Dick said.

“But as we get morefoster homes and movemore children into the

agency foster homesthat’s when the cost sav-ings will come into ef-fect.”

“There isacostsavingsto the county, but it’smorebeneficial to the kid,” saidBobProud,commissioner.

“So thatmakes it awin-win.”

“I didn’t watch a lot oftelevision, but when I didit was Westerns,” he said.

“I just really enjoyedthat the good guys werethe good guys and the badguys were the bad guys.”

Though he was a life-long fan of Westerns itwas a trip to a Renais-sance festival that in-spiredhim to start theOldWest Festival, now in itssixth year.

“I thought it was soneat how hard theyworked to get people tofeel like they were in thatperiod,” said Deimling,who lives in AndersonTownship.

“So I took my love ofthe American West andoverlaid it with the Ren-aissancefestival.Wewantpeople to really feel likethey’ve taken a step into acow town in the middle ofKansas in the late 1800s.”

The Old West Festivalis open every weekendthrough Oct. 6 at its per-manent site at 1449Greenbush Cobb Road,just outside of Williams-burg. Throughout thetown – designed as a his-torical re-enactment ofDodge City around 1878 –visitors can stop by theblacksmith, jail, stageandmore.

There are about a doz-en entertainment showseach day, and re-enactorsstroll through the festivalgrounds in historicaldress.

Sarah Loss, who runsthe old-fashioned candystore and coffee shop atthe festival, has been part

of the festival for severalyears.

“I like the time period,and I do historic re-enact-ments all year so this fitsin well,” she said.

All the vendors buildtheirownspace,Deimlingsaid, so the town itselfwillgrowover the years, simi-lar to the way Old Westtowns grew.

“It’s been a rollercoaster getting it up andrunning off the ground,but when I’m there andable to see the kids laugh-ing and watching the gunfights and shows ... when Isee that I feel like theevent is a success,” Deim-ling said.

“There is somethingabout that (Western)genre and I think it stillsurvives today. We hopewe’re giving families away to come together, en-joy the show and the timethey spend with each oth-er.”

Admission $12 forthose 12 and older, $6 forchildren ages 6-12, andfree for kids 5 years oryounger. Parking is free.

Anderson Township resident Drew Deimling stands on the main street of the Old West Festival, which he founded sixyears ago near Williamsburg. It's open weekends through Oct. 6. LISA WAKELAND/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

The sun was shiningbright during the recent21st annual St. Vincent dePaul 5K Run for the Poorat St. Elizabeth Ann SetonCatholic Church inMiamiTownship. Nearly 300runners and walkers tra-versed their way aroundsurrounding neighbor-hoods and through MiamiMeadows Park. Racefounder Marv Hudson re-members one with astormy start.

“The one that’s memo-rable is the one it wasthundering and lightning.It was so dark in that pa-vilion, I couldn’t read apiece of paper that closeto my face,” said Hudson,of Miami Township, hold-ing his hand in front of hisfacetodemonstrate. “Justdark, at 9 a.m. it was thun-dering and lightning; wecouldn’t even start therace, and the rain wascoming down in sheets. Ijust thought this isadisas-ter.”

Even then, Hudsonsaid the kids loved splash-ing around in the waterand the start was only de-layed about 30 minutes.ThisyearKimWatsonKu-watch celebrated her bestfinish with her friendBrenda Wertz and all theothers under a sunlit pa-vilion.

“This one is a fun one,”said Kuwatch. “It’s a niceflat trail, its good camara-derie, and good peoplearound here; it’s a funrace. It’s good people, youknow.”

Kuwatch and Wertzhave done several other

5K races, but have donethis one together severaltimes. They got started inthis race because the con-nection with SVDP withtheir friendDebbieWells.That makes this eventstand out for them.

“It’s a great race. Thepeople that run it aregreat,” Wertz said. “Iknow that Debbie volun-teerswith SVDP; she goesinto people’s homes, eval-uates the help they need,and takes the steps to getthem that help.”

Proceeds exceeding$100,000 since 1993 havegonea longway inhelpingfamilies in need. The racehas grown from 100 thatfirst year to an average ofabout 300 now. Tom Call-ahan has served withHudson for48years in theSociety of St. Vincent dePaul. He recently con-cluded a term as presi-dent and says their SVDPdistrict council is alwaysseeking money to helppeople in need.

“We never can seem toget enough because thereis so many needs for it,”said Callahan as he begantelling how Hudson start-ed the Run for the Poor 21years ago. Hudson wasthedistrict president thenandwas looking for a wayto fund SVDP. He startedpowerwalking as away tokeep his cholesterol incheck.

“It was a hobby of his.Hehadbeenparticipatingin other races. He’s a fast-walker,” said Callahan.“Hecameupwith the ideathat he had been partici-pating in these; ‘why don’twe do one ourselves?’Marv initiated it; almost

single-handedly.”“I thought this would

be kind of a neat way togenerate funds and getthe St. Vincent de Paulname out there a little bitabout what we do,” saidHudson.

“There’s a tremendouseffort to get things done,”Callahan added. “Marv iskind of the captain of it.It’s almost a full-time jobyear-roundforhim.That’sprobablywhy it comes offso good.”

The race generates$6,000 to $7,000 eachyear.Former U.S. Rep JeanneSchmidt, a marathon run-ner, tries to participate inthe Run for the Poor, too.

“It’s one I hate to missandonlymisswhen Ihavea conflict; like I’m out oftown,” Schmidt said.“Marv has been an inspi-ration for the poor since Ican remember.”

Hudson’s efforts with

SVDP all year are whatimpress Schmidt themost.

“When we have thefood drive for Thanksgiv-ing, there’s Marv. Whenwe have the ChristmasGiving Tree for the chil-dren, there’s Marv doingthat as well,” saidSchmidt. “When you lookatwhat a Christian shouldbe, the name and the faceof Marv Hudson appear.”

Schmidt’s sister Jenni-fer Black is also a runner.She too ran the 5K Run. Itmay have been her 21st.

“I think I may havedone all of them,” shesaid. “MarvHudson is ab-solutely wonderful. Hedonateshis time toSt.Vin-centdePaul; not just time,but his money and his tal-ents so the poor have anopportunity to have food,shelter and clothing.”

Others are quick torecognize Hudson for hisefforts on behalf of thepoor through SVDP. Hud-son is equally quick topoint to thework of all theother volunteers like him.

“I’m just one man, oth-er people do these things,too,” he said.

They face a difficultchallenge serving theneeds in the area.

“Wehave zeropaid em-ployees, no staff; we don’teven have an office,” saidHudson. “Westill have theneeds. We’re Adams,Brown, Clermont, Clin-ton, Highland, and War-ren counties. You get outin Adams, that’s Appala-chia. All of our moneygoes to helping the poor inthese counties.”

Every year, except lastyearwhen hewas nursing

an injury,Hudsonhaspar-ticipated along with theother 300 runners andwalkers.WalterKlein, an-other SVDP volunteer, re-membered his first walkin the event.

“I’m thinking here’s anoldguyrightup in front ofus.He looks like he knowswhat he’s doing. Let’s justkeep pace with him thenwe’ll pass him,” saidKlein. “It turned out to beMarv. I didn’t know Marvat the time. He left us inthe dirt for sure.”

It was a lesson in hu-mility. It’s the humility ofHudson that has left animpression onKlein sincehe joined SVDP about

four years ago.“What strikes me is

Marv’s humility above ev-erything else,” Klein said.“He’s exactly what a Vin-centian is supposed to be.Hejustquietlygets thingsdone, never really sticksout, always with gentle-ness and humility. For 21years he’s been doing thisraceveryquietly andeffi-ciently. I just admire theguy.”

It’s more than the racethough. He’s very detailoriented, said Callahan.His attention to detail hashelped them keep up withIRS lawsandotheradmin-istrative requirementsover the years.

MT. WASHINGTON — McNi-cholas High School dedicatedthe playing surface at Penn Sta-tion Stadium Sept. 7, naming itKlonne-Schmidt Field.

Tom and Susie Siemers - par-ents andgrandparents ofMcNi-cholasgraduates -madeagift tothe school for the namingrights. The name honors bothformer head football coachSteve Klonne and the Siemers’grandsons who participated inthe athletic program duringtheir years at McNicholas.

Klonne coached atMcNicho-las for 10 years before retiringfromheadcoaching in2010.TheSiemers are parents to McNi-cholas graduates GretchenSiemers Schmidt (’74), Stepha-nie Siemers Bloemer (’77) andHeidi Siemers Walsh (’84).They’ve had five grandchildrengraduate from the school andtwo are current students: ZachSchmidt (’99), Nick Schmidt(’02),DrewSchmidt (’06),JillianBloemer (’10), Anna Bloemer(’11), Mitch Bloemer (’14) andEmily Bloemer (’15).

The facility housing Klonne-Schmidt Field was dedicated asPenn Station Stadium during

the inaugural football gameplayed there Oct. 16, 2010. PennStation founder and McNickalumnus Jeff Osterfeld (’78)was honored for his donation tomake the stadium a reality.

In addition to sports, theSiemers support the arts atMcNick, dividing their gift be-tween the athletic and theaterprograms. The couple namedthe facility the Jeanne SpurlockTheatre in 2011 to honor the for-mer theater teacher.

FELICITY — If you’ve takenhistory or government class atFelicity-Franklin High School,odds are Ralph Adams has in-quired about your backhand.

In addition to serving upquestions about the executive,judicial and legislativebranches, Adams serves uptennis balls to those he coaxesout to Felicity-Franklin’s threetennis courts.

In 24 years, it’s been a rack-et getting kids to swing rac-quets.

“When I was in high school,they didn’t have tennis,” Ad-ams said. “I just picked it up inthe Air Force and by coach-ing.”

In a community knownmore for 4-H than forehandsmashes; the game is a toughsell. In an economy requiringfees for extracurriculars; it’seven tougher.

“It’s difficult, especiallywith pay-to-play,” Adams said.“I try to recruit from the kids Ihave in class. We try to get afew kids down to the court, tryto get their friends and try tobuild a team from there.”

Fortunately for Felicity-Franklin, the per sport fees arejust $100. In neighboring WestClermont, it’s $495. Regard-less, when things are tight, stu-dents are sometimes inclinedto opt for working for cashover working up a sweat afterclass.

“Tennis is just not a part ofthe Felicity culture,” Adamssaid. “The phys ed teachermight recommend them or Imay see them playing basket-ball or something. You getthem to the tennis court andthey like it, then you say, ‘Youoweme $100.’”

Basketball and softball arethe more popular sports in Fe-licity. Girls tennis has beenaround less than 10 years.

On the other hand, Adamsalso coaches boys tennis,which has had its momentsover the years.

“Back in the 1980s we hadany number of very good boysplayers and won our division atime or two,” Adams said.“We’vehadplayerscomeoutofsectionals and go on to dis-tricts. It was pretty nice for usbeing a small school.”

With his girls, Adams getshis victories beyond the courtand beyond high school. Hedoes field a full squad of LadyCardinals, compared to otherschools that often must forfeitmatches due to lack of partici-pants.

“We just try to have fun andgive the girls a good experi-ence,” Adams said. “Tennis is agamethat’sa lifetimesport. It’sprobably only second to golf asbeinghelpful in theprofession-al world. If they learn how toplay a little tennis, it’ll be anas-set for themfortherestof theirlives.”

Adams has coached manysports during his career andalso heads up the Felicity-Franklin academic team.While sometimes humbled onthe court, he has becomean ex-pert in good, old-fashioned phi-losophy and perspective.

“Winning championships is

never really a realistic goal forus,” Adams said. “The othernightKaitlynClark andAllisonIrvin (second doubles) wontheir first match.Wewere realexcited.”

Sometimes Adams needs togetaplayerstartedwitha loan-er racquet and many times aFelicity-Franklinathletemightplay twosports in thesamesea-son.

Junior Cheyenne Trammelruns cross country and playssecond singles for the LadyCardinals. Attaching a pedom-eter to her might make one’shead spin.

There are no seniors on Fe-licity-Franklin’s squad and theNo. 1 singles player is sopho-more Cara Cumby.

“Most of the time, Nos. 1arejuniors or seniors,” Adamssaid. “She’s going to take herlicks thisyear,but it’s reallygo-ing to help her next year.”

Next year, the Lady Cardi-nals may bemore competitive.

Next year, like this year,Ad-ams will not only coach theteam, but drive the school vanto each event. Some might ar-gue driving a van full of eighthigh school girls is more diffi-cult than coaching any sport.

“It makes it easy,” Adamssaid of his chauffeur skills.“We don’t have to coordinatetrying to get a bus driver. It’s awaste of money to bring a bigbus when you have seven oreight girls.”

Next year, Adams may alsobe able to recruit more experi-encedplayers. Italldependsonhow his pitch goes in his histo-ry and government classes.

“Ihavea jokewith thekids,”Adams said. “The way to passmyclass is toplay tennis.Obvi-ously, it’s a joke. Sometimes asa result of that I’ll get someplayers to try out.”

A publication of

In my former column, Iused some buzz phrases that,as a Late Bloomer Baby Boom-er, I am relating to on a newlevel. You may recall that aLate Bloomer Boomer is any-one born between 1956 and1964.

The term I used, Aging inPlace, can mean many thingsto us. For me, it means want-ing to age in place in my ownhomes, in my own neighbor-hoods and with my ownfriends and family.

The American Associationof Retired Persons describes“Aging in Place” as a culturalshift in that those who areaging are overwhelminglypreferring to stay at home,rather than be transplanted tonursing homes or assistedliving facilities.

The Nation-al Associationof HomeBuilders de-scribes it as:Remaining inone’s homesafely, in-dependentlyand comfort-ably, regard-less of age,

income or ability level. Itmeans the pleasure of living ina familiar environment as weage and the ability to enjoyfamiliar rituals and specialevents that enrich our lives. Itmeans the reassurance ofbeing able to call a house a“home” for a lifetime.

This hit “home” for me asmy mother recently under-went knee replacement sur-

gery, followed by a stay in arehabilitation facility. Fortu-nately, my father was antici-pating her return and mademodifications assisting her asshe recovers at home.

He first installed a grab barat the front door. She can grabthe bar for stability and pullherself up and in safely. Healso installed grab bars in theshower, a shower chair andreplaced the stationery show-er head with a hand-heldshower.

Furniture has been movedto allow more space, and inaddition to her quad-prongedcane, she has a walker to helpmaintain stability as shestands at the countertop in thekitchen or in the bath.

Since studies show that we,overwhelmingly, want to live

in our own homes as we age,even Late Bloomer Boomers,such as myself, need to bethinking about ways we can bemore creative for our parentsor other loved ones and, ulti-mately, for ourselves.

A person’s ability to getaround his/her home and inter-act with the environment willdetermine the success of ag-ing in place. Like my Dad did,installing grab bars can helpyou keep your balance whenusing steps/stairs and in theshower.

In cases of more lengthyconfinement to a wheelchairor walker, some may evenconsider widening doorwaysto help you get around in yourhome.

As a healthy, vibrant gener-ation, most of us have a bias

for the positive and haveworked hard to eat right, playright and exercise right. Evenin our healthiest state, givingsome thought to the most fun-damental elements of homedesign can work to our ad-vantage.

Planning in advance, evento develop the process bywhich we will access impor-tant home assistance equip-ment, like grab bars, will keepus from spinning our wheelslater, not to mention allowingus to “Age in Place” accordingto our own preferences.

An angel tire changerOn Aug.17, I was trailering

myboat alongOhio132 towardEast Fork Lake in BataviaTownship. A trailer tire disin-tegrated.

Before I had a chance tofumble for my tire-changingtools a rusted-out red HondaS2000 stopped behindme. Theyoung man asked if he couldassist.

I initially politely declinedwhile Iwastryingtofigureoutwhat equipment I had tochange a tire. He insisted thathe did that kind ofwork all thetime and that he had a hydrau-lic roller jack, jackstands, andcross bar (tire iron) in histrunk.

I authorized the serviceand then utilized my skills atdirecting traffic while he didall the work.

Upon completion, theyoung man told me that hewould stop the traffic while Ipulled out.

I said, “Hey, howmuch do Iowe you?” “Nothing,” he re-sponded. “I just love to do thiskind of work.”

I’ve always believed in an-gels. But this is the first timeonehaseverchangeda tire forme. As I pulled out, I looked inmy side mirror and thought Isaw a halo glistening a fewinches above his head.

LETTERS TO THEEDITOR

Lastweek’s questionDo you think the U.S. is safer

now that it was 12 years ago, be-fore theSept.11attacks?Whatdoyou most remember about thatday?

“No,Idon’t thinkwe’resafer.“We have a president who is

much more interested in hispersonal popularity and vaca-tions than taking care of ourcountry. To be fair about it, Idon’t think he’s capable of thejob and doesn’t have the senseto appoint people who are.

“I pray that we get throughthe next 3 years without anoth-er 9-11.”

J.K.

“We probably are safer thanwewere12yearsago,but it’s thekind of statistic that is difficultto quantify because of politicalbickering and ignorance ofmost of the public.

“It’s also true that many at-tacks may have been thwarted,but thekindofworkbycounter-intelligence people that pre-vents them is secret and un-known tomost of us. That’swhyit’s generally ‘classified.’

“I remember being in my

classroomteachingmyseventhgrade a story that had Manhat-tan as its setting and worryingthe military might shoot downthe jet over Pennsylvania be-fore it circled back around toWashington.”

TRog

“Personally I never felt un-safebeforeorafter9-11. Itwasatragedy, but when you areraised practicing hiding underyour desk because of a nuclearattack you tend to take theevent with a different perspec-tive.

“When it occurred I was inmyhomeoffice.Mywife yelledand my immediate commentupon seeing it on TVwas that itwas Bin Laden.

“I told her that Pres. Clintonhad warned the incoming ad-ministration to watch out forhim, but they ignored him onthat and just about everythingelsedue to their arrogance.Thesecond plane confirmed mysupposition.”

J.Z.

“Yes, if your question asksabout ‘from foreign terrorists.’No, if your question asks about‘from our re-elected leaders.’

“While deeply saddened thatday and for some period afterthat day, the bombers knewthey could ruin our country ifthey could make our re-electedofficials run amok with ourfreedoms ... obviously, this hashappened. It’s my biggest fear,and it is ongoing.”

K.P.

“TheHomelandSecurityActis oneof thebiggestRepublicanslush funds in history. Anyonewho looks at the expenditureswill bedepressedby thewastedmoney.

“Hiring people to look atyour underwear is not makingyou safer. Andmost of themon-ey goes to Republican contrib-

utors, not the idiots you see atthe airport.

“Isreal accomplishes great-er security without body scans.

“I can't get over the way theRepublicans have hijacked theissueofpersonal security.Theyincreasepersonal insecuritybypassing gun laws which allowmorons to obtain guns.

“We all know that theNRA isan effective influence on Con-gress, but howmany of us real-ize that the NRA is simply andexclusivelya lobbying front forgunmanufacturers?

“Wecannotbeeffectiveifwedo not use the brains we havebeen endowedwith.

“The alternative is a declin-ing human intelligence.

N.F.

“I don't know if we are saferor not? It depends on howmuchour governmentwill allowus toknow and how that informationis processed by them.

“I guess if I had to pick Iwould say America is not assafe as before 911because I be-lieve we will always have Mus-limswantingtodestroyourwayof life.”

NEXT QUESTIONShould local high schools haveAmerican Indian nicknames oruse American Indian mascots.Why or why not?

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

Ohio Gov. John Kasichcooked up JobsOhio, a public-private hybrid non-profit,ostensibly to put more Ohioansin gainful employment.

JobsOhio was created byKasich in 2011 as a way to shifteconomic development policyfrom the state-funded Depart-ment of Development to thenew agency, which is fundedby the state and private com-panies.

JobsOhio board membersare appointed solely by Kas-ich.

Democrats have asked theOhio Ethics Commission toinvestigate JobsOhio, claimingthat a number of the boardmembers, as well as Kasichhimself, have ties to the com-panies being helped with Job-sOhio funds.

“You cannot have peoplethat are sitting on the board ofdirectors of JobsOhio havingtheir companies directly bene-fit. You cannot have a gover-nor that is supposed to be look-ing out for all Ohioans lookingout for all industry, receivingbenefits from a company and

they’re gettingtax breaks inreturn,” StateSen. Joe Schia-voni said.

JobsOhio isexempt frompublic dis-closure ofspending. And,as a privateentity, it is notsubject to thestate’s open

meetings and records laws,ethics rules, or other require-ments that generally affectState agencies. State Rep.Mike Duffey sponsored HB1which established JobsOhioand all of its shields.

The Ohio Ethics Commis-sion has quickly fallen in linewith the legislative shieldsprovided for JobsOhio.

Since the Commission haslimited jurisdiction and isunable to dig into complaintsconcerning JobsOhio, OhioEthic Commission ChairmanMeromBrachman has dis-missed them out of hand.

By the way, Merom Brach-

man contributed to Duffey’scampaign. And, Brachman hasgiven thousands of dollars toKasich’s campaign efforts inrecent years.

Should we connect the dots?Two Ohio lawmakers, State

Sen. Mike Skindell and StateRep. Dennis Murray, haveteamed with ProgressOhio.orgin a lawsuit against JobsOhio.

The thrust of the legal chal-lenge argues Kasich has vio-lated the State Constitution.Under the JobsOhio plan, Kas-ich chairs a board of eightCEOs. This chairmanship, thesuit claims, runs counter toprovisions in the statute thatforbid governors from runningbusinesses while in office. Thecomplaint has been filed withthe Ohio Supreme Court.

Kasich has launched a $1.4million JobsOhio media buytargeting Ohio residents.

In a letter to Kasich, Cuya-hoga County Executive EdFitzGerald (potential 2014opponent) raised some seriousquestions.

“I write to express my con-cern about your recent use of

$1.4 million in state funds toplace television and print adsthat are an improper waste ofstate funds and seem intendedto boost your gubernatorialre-election effort rather thanactually help with economicdevelopment here in-state.”

On top of it all, why did theRepublican-controlled OhioGeneral Assembly recentlypass a measure prohibitingRepublican State AuditorDave Yost from auditing Job-sOhio?

What are they hiding?Ethics violations?Conflicts of interest?State Constitution viola-

tions?Cronyism?Corruption?Or something worse?It just may be Kasich and

JobsOhio are doing a real jobon Ohio.

Artist Margi Hopkins, ofUnion Township, recently ex-hibited her work at the ColoredPencil Society ofAmerica’s 21stAnnual International Exhibi-tion in Brea, Calif.

Hopkins’ new colored pencilart work, “Blue Crab,” was thejuried piece for the ColoredPencil Society of America ex-hibit.

In addition, her works havebeen exhibited locally and na-tionally in shows, including the26thInternationalExhibitiononAnimals inArt (April 2013)host-ed by LSU School of VeterinaryMedicine. There, her work“WhoRescuedWhom,”waspre-sented with a Judge’s Awardandwasbought for theLSUvet-erinary medical library’s per-manent collection.

She also claimed Best ofShow and People’s Choiceawardsat theColoredPencil So-ciety of America District Chap-ter 119 Exhibition in December2012.

Withmanyaccomplishmentsalready to her credit, Hopkinssaid, “My immediate goal is tobe invited to give a colored pen-cil workshop cruise with re-nowned portrait artist AnnKullberg, November of 2014.This requires me to continuehoningmy skills, increasingmyreputation in the art industry,andcontinuallyworking toward

achievements in my field.”Hopkins received her first

set ofPrismacolorpencils in theseventh-grade, but it wasn’t un-til she attended a workshop or-ganized by author-artist, VeraCurnow, and taught by award-winning artist, Sharon Tiejtjen-Pratt, that she discovered col-

ored pencil painting. “I haveseen a growing respect for thismedium,” Hopkins said.

“Not to be confused by thecolored pencils you might findin a child’s room, artist gradepencils have rich pigmentsalong with fats and waxes tokeep them smooth.

“And, that helps the artist tocreate a smoother work on pa-per while still creating art thatshows rich, deep, and lumines-cent color variations.

“Often I have found that myaudience thinks that my piecesaredonewithpaints rather thanpencils.”

Hopkins graduated fromDenisonUniversitywithabach-elor of fine arts degree special-izing in life drawing and print-making.

She worked in other medi-ums, including watercolor, be-forechoosingcoloredpencils asher medium of choice. Hopkinsis amember of theColoredPen-cil Society of America.

When she isn’t hiking withher dogs, taking photographs orpainting, she is a veterinary as-sistant for Family Animal Hos-pital in Batavia.

She lives in Union Townshipwith her husband, Adam, herdogs, Ginger and Rags; and hercats, Charlotte,Mowgli and Ste-wie.

.Hopkins is represented by

Row House Gallery & CustomFraming in Milford.

“Margihasbeenrepresentedby RowHouse for three years,”said Nancy Meyer, Row HouseGallery & Custom Framing.

“It has been a pleasure to seethe development of her artisticstyle. This latest Colored PencilSociety ofAmerica accomplish-ment adds another feather inher cap as she continues to col-lect awards in her field.”

Every cloud has asilver lining. There’s areason for everything.Being challenged in life isinevitable, being defeat-ed is optional. Our familyfriend, Ruth AnnAsh-burn, could have quotedthese sayings after a

stormwreckedhavocwithtwo of herfavoritetrees: Amaple sheraisedfrom asaplingand thetallest wildcherry

tree I’ve ever seen.Myhusband, Frank, and Iwent over to help. Frankbrought his saw and tack-led the smaller limbs. Theprofessionals came in forthe rest. The silver lininghere is we now have agood amount of woodaging for next year.

The storm alsoknocked a lot of our ap-ples off our trees, so I hadto use the fallen ones up.Granddaughter Eva and Imade applesauce for herlittle sister, Emerson. Shewashed the apples and Ichunked them up for theslow cooker. I also de-hydrated some applesand have apple leather/rollups drying in the sun.Checkmy blog for thoserecipes plus photos.

Chris Lipnick’s appleblossom cake

Chris, a Kentuckyreader, immigrated tothis country fromGerma-ny. Chris, likemy daugh-ter-in-law Inge, is anexpert baker. Chrisshared this recipe awhileback and I get requestsfor it when apple seasonrolls around. Amoist and“good keeper” cake. “Ev-eryonewants the recipe,”Chris toldme.

3 eggs2 cups sugar11⁄4 cups canola oil3 cups all-purpose flour1⁄2 teaspoon each cinnamon,nutmeg, cloves, salt

Addvanilla, apples and nuts.Blendwell and pour intopan. Bake11⁄4 hours. Cooland remove from pan.Dust with powdered sug-ar ormake glaze of lemon

juice and powdered sug-ar.

Kathy L.’s poorman’s lobster

I knew I could counton you! A reader who hadlost her recipe andwashoping beyond all hopethat I could help find itrequested this. “I’vemade this quite a bit al-though not recently. Thisrecipe is probably at least20 years old. Since I dust-ed this off, I think I willfix it again soon,” Kathysaid.

1 lb. cod frozen, thawedenough to cut (about1hour at roomtemperature)

2 cupswater3 tablespoons cider vinegar2 teaspoons salt3 tablespoons butter1⁄2 teaspoon paprika

Cut each block of fil-lets into equal chunkseach about 1-inch square.In amedium saucepan,bringwater, vinegar andsalt to a boil overmoder-ately high heat. Add fishchunks and reduce heattomoderate and simmer15minutes until fish isopaque in center. Use anovenproof pan andmeltthe butter in it. Removefish with slotted spoonand place in a single layerin prepared pan. Sprinklefish with paprika andspoon butter over fish.Broil 3 to 5 inches fromheat source for about 5minutes, spooning butterover fish once.

Roasted smashedpotato cakes

For Susan B., an East-side reader, who ate theseat a restaurant. “Theywere seasonedwith justsalt and pepper, and gar-nishedwith chives,” shesaid.

About 2 pounds small orbaby potatoes (I usedmylittle garden potatoes)

Olive oilSalt and pepper to tasteOnion chivesSour cream (optional)

Cook potatoes anddrain. Preheat oven to450 degrees. Brush bak-ing sheet with oil andheat in oven for 5min-utes.When potatoes arecool enough to handle,gently flatten and brushwith oil, and add sea-sonings. Roast about 15minutes or so.

I’ve received severale-mails recently claimingto come from the postoffice and Federal Ex-press telling me theywere unable to deliver apackage.

The e-mails look sus-picious and, upon check-ing, I’ve learned I’m oneof many people receivingthem.

Two such e-mailscame in August, alleged-ly from the United StatesPostal Service, askingme to download and printout a label, then take it atthe nearest post office.Fortunately, I didn’t dothat because it couldhave caused big prob-lems.

Federal Express has awarning on its websitesaying scammers areusing its corporate logo,colors and legal disclaim-ers to make them appearauthentic. But it says thisis all just a scam to trickyou into divulging yourpersonal or account in-formation. Scammerscould try to get you tosend themmoney or do

somethingelse thatwill resultin yougettingdefrauded.

FedExsays thesee-mailattackshave beengoing on

for the past few yearsbecause they are low-tech and can easily bedeployed on a massivescale. These so-called“phishing” scams con-tinue to fool people – andsome contain a virus thatwill be unleashed on yourequipment if you down-load anything they send.That virus can be used tosteal personal informa-tion from your computer.

FedEx says the mainthing the scammers wantis to collect user-names,passwords, Social Securi-ty numbers, and creditcard details. ConsumerReports says one of itsstaffers received one ofthese e-mails last yearwhich stated he’d have to

pay a fee if he failed toact.

Like FedEx, the U.SPostal Service has awarning on its websiteabout e-mails claiming tobe from the postal ser-vice seeking online post-age charges or telling ofattempted or interceptedpackage deliveries. Post-al officials say youshould delete these mes-sages without takingfurther action. It says,“The Postal InspectionService is working hardto resolve the issue andshut down the maliciousprogram.”

Remember, neitherFedEx nor the post officewill send you an e-mail.If they need you, they’lldrop a note off at yourhome or send you a let-ter. They have your ad-dress, but not your e-mail information.
