BETHEL — The air condi-tioning system for Bethel’smunicipal building, whereMayor’s Court and councilmeetings are conducted, nolonger works.

“The air conditioner blewup on this side of the build-ing,” said Fiscal Officer BillGilpin.

“We didn’t see that com-ing.”

It was not immediatelyclear what caused the mal-function or how much it willcost to get fixed.

Council will need to ap-prove amended appropria-tions to accomplish that.

State auditorsinspecting village

One of the reasons thoseappropriations might not beready is because thevillage isworking with state auditorson twodifferent projects,Gil-pin said.

“Auditors are here work-ing on termination of (the vil-lage’s) fiscal emergency (sta-tus),” he said.

“I’m trying to get the audi-tors everything they need notto delay anything.”

A fiscal emergency wasdeclared on Aug. 24, 2010, af-ter a fiscal analysis revealedthe village had deficit fundbalances of $401,178 and$340,766 as of Dec. 31, 2009,and May 31, 2010, respective-ly.

A seven-member commis-sion was appointed by thestate tohelp thevillageregainfinancial stability.

Representatives from thestate are projecting fiscalemergency should be termi-nated “sometime in October,”Gilpin said.

That’s two to three weeksbehind what they originallythought, he said.

“They’re short on man-power,” Gilpin said.

“But they’re working dili-gently on getting that docu-ment completed.”

Gilpin said the village stillneeded to work on “two orthree things” from a recentauditor’s report about the vil-lage’s accounting methods.

The report stated Betheldoesnotcomplywith theOhioRevised Code and require-ments put forth by the stateauditor.

The report studied a peri-od fromJan.1, 2012, toFeb.19,2013.

Additional auditors visitedthe village for six days re-cently to complete a financialaudit of Bethel in 2011 and2012. Gilpin estimated theirreportwouldbecompletedbythe end of the month.

“Everything went well asfar as I can tell,” he said.

Bethelbuilding’sAC unitblows upBy Keith [email protected]

BETHEL — A constructioncompany has been selected forthe first phase of Bethel’sstreetscape project.

Officials received five bids,said Travis Dotson, village ad-ministrator.

Dotson recommended coun-cil accept the lowest bid fromAdleta Construction for$377,820.

“This is right in line with ourestimates,” Dotson said.

The next closest bid wasabout $385,000, he said.

This is thefirstphaseofasix-phase project to renovate Be-thel’s downtown business dis-trict.

Curbs, gutters, storm drainsand sidewalks will be repairedon Plane Street, from Main toAsh streets.

The streetwill be resurfacedand trees also will be removedbecause they block the adver-tisements and window space oflocal businesses.

This phase of the projectwillbe funded by an Ohio PublicWorks Commission grant,which officials previously saidrequires a local match of$120,000 of taxpayers’ money.

The village is receiving a ze-ro-percent loan from the stateto account for the local match.

Officials plan to put up deco-rative lighting in conjunctionwith the renovations, but thatwill not be covered by the grantas was first thought.

“That’s been pulled because

it’s considered artificial,” Dot-son said. “Now we’ll use ourmatching funds for that.”

Construction should beginthis fall and finish before theend of the year, he said.

Council member Lucy Shep-erd asked how the constructionwould affect traffic in the vil-lage.

“The last thing to do is re-pave and that will be finished inone day,” Dotson said. “Theywill just direct traffic to sidestreets.”

The rest of the projectdoesn’t affect the road – justfrom sidewalks over, he said.

Grant applications for thesecond phase of the projectwere submitted in August.

Water infrastructurechanges coming

Work on the water main up-grades and water tank replace-ment in the village is continu-ing.

Telephone poles on PlaneStreet will not be moved or al-tered as part of the streetscapeproject because officials willneedtomovethemforthewatermain upgrades, Dotson said.

Dotson recently attended ameeting with the Ohio Environ-mental Protection Agency andthe American Water Works As-sociation to go over a timelinefor the water system improve-ments.

Officials want to bid the pro-ject out in the spring.

“We’ll be working through-out the winter to get that done,”Dotson said.

Bethel village council accepted a bid for the first phase of its downtown business district renovation. Curbs like this one, on the corner of Planeand Main streets, will be replaced. Sidewalks will be replaced, trees removed and gutters repaired. Eventually, Plane Street - fromMain to Ashestreets - will be repaved. KEITH BIERYGOLICK/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

ciate director, said thecounty’s efforts havechanged since it formedthe Suicide PreventionCoalition in 2003.

In 2007, there weretwo youth suicides inClermont County, but thecounty reported eight in2008 and five in 2009.

“Since 2003, our focushas been on youth suicid-es,”Watson, chairwomanof the Suicide PreventionCoalition, said.

“But in 2009 we saw ahuge jump in suicidesand began focusing onprevention efforts formiddle-aged residents,and older adults.”

There were 39 suicid-es recorded in 2009,which Watson attributesto the economic reces-sion she said put adultsmore at risk.

“If one person com-mits suicide there’s ahigher risk others will doit,” she said.

“We change our cam-paign based on the needsof the community.”

The county also oper-ates a 24-hour crisis hot-line and has aMobile Cri-sis Team of medical andmental health profes-sionals.

Batavia Village offi-cials are battling with thecounty for back taxes on ablighted property.

The issue centersaround Norfolk Lodge 54,a now defunct Masoniclodge located at 610 E.Main St..

The village wants totear it down for safetyreasons, but ClermontCounty officials areblocking that action untilBatavia officials pay theoutstanding property tax-es.

“I don’t think anyoneherewants to take posses-sion of a piece of propertythat’s our intention to teardown for the safety of thepublicand thenpay$6,000for the privilege of tear-ing it down,” said VillageSolicitor ChristopherMoore.

Through the forfeitureprocessBatavia has takenownership of a few otherproperties and torn downthe structures, and inthose cases theback taxeswere waived, Village Ad-ministrator Dennis Nich-ols said.

The village was then

reimbursed for demoli-tion costs through a statedemolition grant pro-gram, Moving OhioForward, which helpscommunities removedblighted structures.

Howmucheachcountyreceives under this pro-gram is based on the num-ber of foreclosure filings,and nearly $1.2 millionwas allocated for Cler-mont County.

There isno required lo-cal match for the first$500,000 a county re-ceives.

But the Ohio AttorneyGeneral’sOfficehas sincesaid that villages shouldpay taxes on these dilapi-dated properties if theytake ownership, ex-plainedMoore.

Andnowthecountynotonly wants the tax moneyfrom the former lodge,Moore said county offi-cials are trying to collecton previous propertiesBatavia took over and de-molished under the stategrant program.

“The county is beingextremely shortsightedonmoving things forwardin thiscommunitywithre-spect to these blightedproperties,” said Council-

man Stephen Staton.“Property values aren’tgoing to start to recoveruntil these are off therolls. “

Moore agreed and saidthewhole point ofMovingOhio Forward was to helpget rid these propertiesand clean up neighbor-hoods and communities.

This most recent ac-tion by Clermont Countyofficials is preventingBa-tavia from using statefunds to take down theformer lodge, Nicholssaid.

“These properties willcontinue to be blights onthe community as long asthis is the situation,” Sta-ton said.

“You’ve made it un-profitable for anybody toever take them over, andit’s only going to get moreexpensive. The county isnever going to recoverthis money.”

In it’s present state,Staton said, the liensagainst the property like-ly exceed its value.

Moore said theyplan tofile a lawsuit against thecounty arguing that it’simpractical for villagesand other municipalitiesto assume the tax liability

on blighted properties.He contends any taxes

or assessments should bewaived.

“It’s a real eyesoreproperty and we can’t af-ford to put themoney intoit,” Mayor John Theboutsaid.

“It’s a safety problem.”In the meantime, Bata-

via officials will beginnuisance proceedingsagainst the property,whichMoore noted has noexisting members, andtherefore no one to paythe back taxes.

An early estimateshows it would cost thevillage $8,400 to demolishthe building.

Flashes of color andlightwill explodeoverAn-derson Township Satur-day, Sept. 21.

Teams fromFrance, It-aly and Portugal willbring the best of the boomfor the second “Fire UpThe Night” fireworkscompetition at Coney Is-land.

Last year’s event wasthe first time an interna-tional fireworks competi-tion came to the UnitedStates, and it was incred-ibly well-received saidMarySchumacher,ConeyIsland’s vice president ofmarketing and sales.

“It’s bigger than a nor-mal fireworks show …and very different fromwhat you’re used to see-ing,” she said.

“Each (display) tells astory. It’s about the emo-tions of the fireworks andthe music they use.”

Fireworks competi-

tions areabigdeal aroundtheworld, and Schumach-er said they mulledaround the idea for a cou-ple years before decidingto bring one to the UnitedStateswithhelpfromRoz-zi’s Famous Fireworks.

Competition shows are“the best of the best,” and

the displays are all per-fectly choreographed tomusic, said Nancy Rozzi,president of Rozzi Inc.

“It’s absolutely breath-taking and we wanted tobring that genre here,”she said.

“It’s a visual art form.It’s like painting, but

you’re using the sky.”A panel of judges will

decide – with help fromthe audience – which in-ternational teamtakes tophonors.

Coney Island’s SunlitePool will be empty, andvisitorsareencouraged tobringchairsorblankets towatch the show.

In addition to the fire-works, Coney Island rideswill be open during the“Fire Up The Night”event. There is also livemusic, a magic show,food, and beer and winetastings featuring winesfrom the three competingcountries.

Each international dis-playwill be about sixmin-utes long and Rozzi Fam-ousFireworkswill cap offthe night with a finale.

Rozzi said she’s hon-ored that these well-known teams would cometo Cincinnati, and shehopes the fireworks showleaves a lasting impres-sion on the audience.

“People are so touchedby what they see, they’relooking for this hugepiece of excitement andeveryone can be part ofthat,” she said.

“It’s an amazing artform that draws you inand keeps your attention.

“That’s really what Ithink the performancepart is – itmakesyouwantto see more.”

Admission is $30 percarload and includesparking, rides, entertain-ment and the fireworksshow at Coney Island,6201Kellogg Ave.

Fireworks illuminate the sky over Lake Como at ConeyIsland during last year’s competition. Three internationalteams will compete for the best display during “Fire Up theNight” Saturday, Sept. 21. THANKS TOMPR MARKETING

TUITION DISCOUNT FOR THE MULTI-CHILD FAMILY

Retired by a bullet thatpierced his face and neck,U.S. Army Sgt. MichaelMather of ClermontCounty battles the effectsthose injuries havebrought home.

Saving his eight-yearmarriage to Emily is oneof those battles for thePurple Heart recipient.

That battle recentlytook them to Alaskathrough the group Opera-tion Heal Our Patriots.

“It’s amarriageenrich-ment retreat,” Emily said.

“We are always up forany kind of marriage en-richment. It came at sucha good time for us.”

Michael and EmilyMather describe thestress on their marriageas an “invisible wound”from the traumatic injuryhe suffered when shot bya sniper during his 2008deployment in Iraq.

Emily says a lot of thewives of wounded ser-vicemen seek informa-tion about programs tohelp heal and strengthentheir marriages.

That’s how she foundOperationHeal Our Patri-ots and applied to partici-pate. Within 24 hours,they were accepted andtheir journey began.

“I’m always skeptical.It’shard toearnmytrust,”Michael said.Thatwashisreaction to the newsthey’d been selected for a“free” retreat to Alaska.He wondered what they’dhave to do.

Once he got there, Mi-chael connected with twoother wounded soldiers.

“We just started talk-ing,” he said. “You couldfeel the friendship build-ing; feeding off the otherone’s stories. We’d do ev-erything together.”

Actually there werenine married couplesthere. All but one werewounded military servicemen. The other was awounded Alaskan StateTrooper and his wife.They all had the option tochoose from watchingbears, fishing, or hikingfor daily activities.

“Thefirstdaywechosetogohiking,” saidMather,whose injuries requiredhim to use cut-off skipoles to help make thefour-mile hike. “My armsare still sore.”

He says he “maxedout” physically and medi-callywhile there. The sce-nic beauty and activitieskept the soldiers adrena-line pumping.

“It was beautiful,” saidEmily.

After choosing hikingthe first day, the weatherconditions did not allow

Mather’s to go bearwatching. They fished –staff told Michael hecaught the biggest fishever – they went kayak-ing,didsomemorehiking,and even ate lunch on arockat thebottomofawa-terfall.

They joke about thespill Michael took into theicywaterswhilekayakingsolo.

The men are still talk-ing, texting, and postingon Facebook. The wivescreated their own groupon Facebook page so theycould all keep in touch.

Emily says the ninecouples started out as 18strangers but, after aweek of sharing storiesand experiencing Alaskatogether, they left as fam-ily.

“Here’s what it is,” Mi-chael said.

“We went up there asstrangers, we left as fam-ily.”

It was more than thatthough. Operation HealOur Patriots is a faith-based effort to help mar-

riedandwoundedsoldiersheal their wounded mar-riage.

Two chaplains were onhand to guide the couplesthrough discussionsabout how to strengthentheir marriage.

They cited statisticsshowing a rising percent-age of military marriagesend in divorce within thefirst year after cominghome.

Michael andEmily sur-vived the first year afterhis injury, but admit theirmarital relationship suf-fered in the four yearssince. Stress led to argu-ments. Themarriage theyvalue, and love they share

was in trouble.In Alaska they learned

how to communicate bet-ter, and that they’re notalone. The couples taughteach other. Michael andEmily Mather decided torenew their marriagevows while there.

“After all we’ve beenthroughsincehis injury, itmeans a lot more to us,”Emily said.

“We both sacrificed alot.With thismarriage en-richment, we’ve learnedto work together; to com-municate better. We’vebeen througha lot toget tothat point.”

The week, the people,the scenic beauty of Alas-

ka gaveMichaelMather anew outlook.

Before he got there, hewas angry, full of hate.Hewent hiking, pushed him-self beyond the limits,met new friends, saw hismilitary family grow, andrenewed his vows.

“It meant a lot,” hesaid.

“I felt the cool air andlooked at the green water.It’s hard to explain. Ilooked around and justcouldn’t understandwhyIwas always angry. Now Ilook at her.”

PRESS PREPSHIGHLIGHTS

By Scott SpringerandMark [email protected]@communitypress.com

Only a select few DivisionIII football programs havereached a pointwhere a 7-3 rec-ord and rout of their biggest ri-val is considered a disappoint-ing season.

Thomas More College fin-ished 6-2 in the Presidents’ Ath-letic Conference, but those twoearly season losses preventedthe Saints from earning a fifthstraight playoff berth. A six-game winning streak to closeout the season was encourag-ing, but 2012 was still a disap-pointment for a program thathas established itself as a pe-rennial top 25 team.

“When I think about it, it isgood thatwe have such high ex-pectations,” said head coachJim Hilvert. “When you set astandard like that,whenyouex-pect at least nine wins and aPAC championship, less thanthat is not good enough.”

The silver lining to last yearwas that the seniors were thefirst class in years to end the

season with a win. Consistentlyqualifying for the playoffsmeans that, unless the Saintswin the 32-team tournamentand Stagg Bowl championship,they end the season with a loss.Last year, the Saints got to fin-ish the season by setting allkinds of records in a 75-6Bridge Bowl victory over rivalCollege of Mount St. Joseph.

“Everybody was hungry tofinish off the season on a highnote,” said sophomore freesafety Kyle Fuller (HolyCross).

Fuller is one of severalyoung starters on both sides ofthe ball this year. He haslearned from the upperclass-men who were once in his posi-tion and expects to step into aleadership role in just his sec-ond season at Thomas More.

“The coaches do a good jobof preparing you for a leader-ship role,” said Fuller, who ledHolyCross to a state champion-ship two years ago. “Last year’sseniors left a legacy that madethe programwhat it is and theyreally pushed us underclass-

men to make us better.”The veteran leaders of the

defense will help the new start-ers adjust. Defensive backsJake Fishburn (Elder) and AlexTaylor (Elder) and lineman Ty-ler Combs (Highlands) providesenior leadership on the other-wise young defense.

“We are young on defense,but very fast,” said Hilvert.“This is one of themost athleticdefenses I’ve had.”

The offense is led by the re-turn of junior running backDo-

minique Hayden from injuryand another year of experiencefor sophomore quarterbackJensen Gebhardt, who went 6-1after taking over as the starterlast year.

Thomas More has alwaysbenefited from a pipeline of lo-cal talent fromboth sides of theriver, but the recent rise ofNorthern Kentucky programslike Cooper and CampbellCounty has provided the Saintswith even more talented play-ers who are accustomed to win-ning.

“With the talent we havearound here, it’s a huge addi-tion,” said Hilvert.

The Saints open the seasonwith a 20-0 win over Capital.With their next game Sept. 21atWestminster, the home openeris Sept. 28 against WaynesburgUniversity. The team is eagerto get back to the playoffs andhopes to avoid last year’s slowstart.

“We have some really goodleaders,” said Hilvert. “We’reexcited to get back on the fieldand compete.”

BETHEL — Though you maysee tempers flare and intensegolf matches on late afternoonSundays on TV, the game is en-tirelydifferentat thepreplevel.

Perhaps it’s because they’rebased out of FriendlyMeadows,but watching Bethel-Tate HighSchool in the SouthernBuckeyeConference outing Sept. 5 waslikewatchingalessoningolfeti-quette.

The SBAAC golfers seem toknow one another and actuallygive tips on how to play holes.When one strikes a favorableshot, it’s acknowledged by theother three players, regardlessof the color of their golf shirt.

Tigers coach Brett Harriseven tracked down a Norwoodplayer’s ball out-of-bounds, sav-ing the youngster a couple ofhundredyards.All of the coach-es get along and are willing tohelp golfers who didn’t accom-pany them on the bus.

In the end, the approach ofBethel-Tate andothers seems tobe that being good and a goodsport goes hand in hand.

The Tigers have their mo-ments, but realistically don’thave the depth to win leaguetournaments. On the otherhand, they shouldn’t be over-looked.

They do have a player on therise in sophomore MitchellMcElfresh. Recently at anSBAAC gathering at DeerTrack, he shot his personal best.

“He had eight pars and onebogey,” Harris said. “It was hisfirst round under 40 and heshoots 34!”

McElfresh has played forabout sevenyears andwas spot-tedaboutayearagobyHarrisatFriendly Meadows. He startedpracticing with him during thesummers, usually on Fridays.Whennotwithhiscoach,McElf-resh was still carrying hissticks.

“He probably plays five orsix times a week and 18 to 27holes almost every day,”Harrissaid.“He’squitebusyonthegolfcourse.”

Although he also plays bas-ketball and pole vaults on Be-

thel-Tate’s track team, golf isMcElfresh’s big sport. Harrisplayed collegiately at MountUnion near Canton and has haddiscussions with his pupil onpossibly taking his game to thatlevel.

“Mitchell will tell me, ‘Golf’smy No. 1; that’s my love,’” Har-ris said. “He’s really improvedfrom last year to this year in hisball striking. Mentally, hethinks the game through. Hetries to hit the right shots andsave himself from bad shots.”

Beyond McElfresh, the Ti-gers are about a third-placeteam on an average day. NewRichmond and Amelia tend tohave deeper talent pools. Thatstill doesn’t keep Harris fromsearching the proverbial pool.

“I have two guys this yearthatarebrandnewtogolf,”Har-ris said. “Senior Kenny Sonsshowed up the day of try-outsand is now my three man. Wehave some guys relatively newto thegameandnew tocompeti-tion other than playing withMom or Dad or friends. It’s awhole new experience.”

Sons has been a welcome ad-

dition to the Tigers with hisphysical and mental game. De-spiteneverhavingplayedahighschool season, he’s led by exam-ple.

“He’s really helped my teamas a senior by just being calm,”Harris said. “He had a badround the other day and got onthebusanddidn’t sulkorgetup-set. He took ownership of hisbad round.”

Bethel-Tate’s No. 2 player isJoeySmith.He is a silent and in-tense player with a slight flawthat most golfers would kill for.

“His problem is he hits theball too straight and hewants towork it,” Harris said. “He’ll goto the driving range and say, ‘Iwant to hook it or I want to sliceit.’ I say, ‘Why don’t you just hitit straight?’”

When on, the Tigers are acompetitive force. When off,they get back on the bus and fo-cus on the next round.

As the saying goes, “A badday of golf beats a good day ofwork.”

Bethel-Tate’s next leagueround-up is Sept. 19 at WhiteOak Golf Course.

A publication of

Staying upright is a better ideaA cold January morning

greeted me as I opened thedoor. I quickly tucked myhands into my coat pockets onthe way to the post office.

As I approached the streetcorner I looked up at the bigclock, realizing I needed tohurry. At the bus stop a groupof ladies sat on the bench talk-ing. They did not notice me.

I picked up my pace as myattention quickly turned to theNational Exemplar. I alwaysloved the small town feel as Iwalked along this street.

What I did not see thatmorning was the most impor-tant thing: the uneven brickrising above the otherwiselevel sidewalk. The next thing

I remember,and will neverforget, was thefeeling of myhead crashingonto the con-crete below,chin first,flattening mynose and bend-ing my neckback.

At first, noone offered to help and I won-dered if I could even walkhome. A lady driving by, hav-ing seen my fall, stopped to askif I needed help and offered totake me to the emergencyroom.

By then the gash on my chin

was bleeding profusely. Igrabbed the white scarf frommy neck and pressed it to mychin, hoping not to stain hercar upholstery.

In the emergency room,while the nurse kindly washedmy stained scarf, the doctorexplained my injuries andstitched up the cut chin (itwent to the bone).

Later, my broken nose re-quired a two-hour surgery toput it back together. The sur-geon said it looked like an eggwith over 100 cracks.

The cracked tooth pieceswere extracted by a dentalsurgeon. My face turned fromblack to blue to yellow over theweeks.

These problems, and more,came about simply because myhands were in my pocketswhen my foot stubbed theuneven brick, leaving me un-able to stop the fall.

When talking about a badfall, sadly mymother-in-lawcomes to mind. Carrying gro-ceries from the store, she felland hit her head when the side-walk sloped suddenly for anentrance to a driveway. AirCare efforts failed to save herfrom a blood clot to the brain.

A few reminders to helpstay upright:

Never take an escalatorwithout holding on – they canjam and send you flying. Whentaking the stairs, always hold

the railing. If no railing, leanclose to the wall for support.

Watch for sidewalks withhandicap entries – some side-walks slope suddenly causing aloss of balance. When you stepoff the sidewalk to the parkinglot, realize some roads arelower than others, leaving youfalling in mid-air.

Watch for the barriers alongthe sidewalk in front of yourcar. You can trip on them.

In other words, pay atten-tion to where you are going.

Walking is a wonderfulpastime. Don’t be cheated by afall.

Ann Coleman is a resident of Wil-liamsburg.

Ohio’s New State Budget forFiscal Year’s 2014 and 2015negatively affects local com-munities in three ways:

First, it is providing $95million less in local aid over thenext two years when comparedto the 2012-2013 budget, and $1billion less when compared tothe 2010-2011 budget.

Second, is the loss of theestate tax. This provided $625million to communities over thelast two years. This money willnot be available in the future.

Third, the state has startedto get rid of the local propertytax rollback on new levies.

This means that when a localcommunity passes a levy fromnow on the state will no longergive back 12.5 percent of thenewmoney to local communi-ties.

Miami Township has beenfaced with revenue loses since2009 when the economy took a

turn for theworse.

Not only hasproperty val-ues declinedwhichmeansless revenuefrom propertytaxes, but wehave also beenfaced withreductionsfrom the state

of Ohio as outlined above.We have been able to over-

come these obstacles for tworeasons. The township hasalways carried ample cashreserves, which has been a lifesaver these past few years.

In addition we practicestrong budget and expensecontrols. Just because an itemis in the budget does not insurethe money will be spent.

All large purchases must beapproved by the trustees be-

fore the money is spent.Even with the loss of reve-

nue described above, MiamiTownship has not reduced ser-vices to its citizen’s thanks inpart to the many dedicatedemployees on the payroll.

I am amazed at howwell ouremployees stretch a dollar andstill get the job done.

I hope the citizens of MiamiTownship appreciate the manywonderful things that we haveto offer.

To name a few, we have agreat park system, a modern-ized road network, a beautifulgateway entrance, andmanytrained professional employeeson the payroll.

These things did not happenby themselves. It took strongleadership and a vision for thefuture to make this happen.

COMMUNITY PRESS

Last week’s questionShould local high schools have

American IndiannicknamesoruseAmerican Indian mascots. Why orwhy not?

“This is a simple question forme. I have adeep respect and af-fection for Native Americans. Ihave lived near reservations,had Native American friendsand learned about the cultureand the present day challenges.

“However, I had a child thatgraduated from Anderson (Red-skins) High School and spentmany timeson football andbase-ball fields yelling "Go, Red-skins!" It seems tome that thereare so many names in the Eng-lish dictionary that certainly ev-ery high school and college inthis country could select a non-Native American name andbuild loyalty and competitionaround it.

“In business and even non-profit organizations, nameschange all the time. It can be funto celebrate a new name. Let'ssupport our schools in develop-ing new names that don't disre-spect Native American tribesand culture."

E.E.C.

“Onlyschool teamslocatedonreservation lands should be al-lowed to use traditional NativeAmericannames.MiamiUniver-sity even changed its mascot toRedhawkssometimeagoforthisreason.

“American settlers and sol-diers stole the whole continentfrom Native Americans; it isn'ttoo much to ask to allow nativepeople the cultural dignity ofchanging offensive, stereotypi-cal names.

“Peoplewill trytoarguethatanew name doesn't reflect heri-tage accurately; well, that's thesame argument used by racistsin the South who preserve theConfederate flag.”

TRog

“Syria, Common Core, Oba-

maCare, Quantitative Easing,Benghazi, Hillary 2016 ... Thinkthe country has more importantthings to worry about. Go Red-skins!”

L.D.

“NativeAmericannicknamesand mascots have been aroundfor at least a century. When anyschool chooses a mascot thechoice is always made for per-sons or objects that are easilyrecognized as symbols for qual-itiestobeadmiredandemulated.Native Americans are no excep-tionwhether theyareSeminoles,Braves, Redskins, Warriors, Illi-ni, Eskimos, Indians, Black-hawks, Aztecs, etc.

“According topersonalonlineresearch several years ago, theonly opposition comes from asmall modern activist groupknown to pressure schools,teams and similar organizationswith their only goal being theiracceptance of large sums ofmoney to be quiet and go away.

“SofarIhaveneverheardofaschool choosing to be known asthe Fighting Boneheads or OhioBirdbrains. Are churches of-fended by the New OrleansSaints? How about the FightingIrish?"

R.V.

“Our society is becoming toopolitically correct and over sen-sitive. I am not sure why it is soderogatory to use the Indian as amascot- strength, bravery, ath-leticism, etc.

“None of these terms suggestweakness, failure or shame. Yetif we use anything other than aninanimateobjectorananimalwerun the risk of offending some-one.

“Reminds me of the publicgrade school my kids went to inanother large city – we couldn'tcelebrate St. Patrick's Day inschool unless it was referred toasGreenDay.NoChristmaspar-ty just a red and green holidayparty.

“Geez, give me a flippin'break!!! Get a life. We can't pro-tect our kids from everythingonemightfindoffensive,alienornot of their custom.

“Lifeis,afterall, terminal–noone gets out alive. Deal with it.”

T.J.

“Yes, until they get rid of theWashington Redskins or changeIndian Hill to Red Hawk Moun-tain!”

D.J.H.

“Disrespect to American In-dians for sure. But more impor-tantly, this is thevital questionoftheweek from the new nearmo-nopoly of the papers in Cler-mont? You have got to be kid-ding.

“How about this: Is it treasonto collaborate on InaugurationDay to bring down the presiden-cy (show disrespect) of the new-ly elected black president? I saydarn close.

“But like American Indians,Obama earned his disrespect bybeing born, unlike Bush, whoearnedhis byhis nowreviled ac-tions. I know I’ll never see thiscomment in the paper.”

M.O.

“This has been tossed aroundfor years as proper or improperuse. Schools teach what, Ameri-can History? What is included,the American Indian.

“The pilgrims to the move-ment west of settlers the booksin our schools and libraries edu-cate us of our American heri-tage.

“Citizensof ourgreat countryneed to quit carrying their softfeelingson their shoulders.Basi-cally, grow up.”

tPA is a drug that breaks up blood clots, keeps arteries flowingand helps limit the damaging effects of a stroke. Today, thousandsof neurologists all over the world use tPA, but the discoveryhappened right here in Cincinnati at the University of CincinnatiMedical Center’s Comprehensive Stroke Center. We continue topioneer breakthroughs in science so we can perfect the art ofsaving lives.

For years it was like agray culinary cloud overmy head. I called it piecrust envy. Mymomwasthe first to try to teach

me tomake aflaky andtender piecrust.“Just don’toverworkthe dough,use a lighthand,” shetold me. Atthe time Iread some-

thing in a cookbook thatsaid “work the short-ening into the flour untilit’s all the size of smallpeas.” So I tried to do justthat. The crust rolled outeasily and I baked what Ithought was the mostbeautiful apple pie in theworld.

I took it to our churchkitchen for bingo and I’llnever forget the look onRuth Haglage’s face asshe tried to cut into thecrust. She sawed andsawed at that crust andfinally broke through. Iwas so embarrassed.Ruth knew I was a novicepie baker and told me notto worry, that the fillingwas delicious and thecrust was OK.

After that disaster,every time I made piecrust by hand I was filledwith anxiety. Then I metPerrin Rountree. Perrinis an Anderson Townshipreader and excellentSouthern cook and baker.She worked with me atmy cooking school atMcAlpin’s. Perrin sharedher recipe for pie crustwith a secret ingredient.That was years ago andthe crust has never letme down. No more piecrust envy!

Perrin Rountree’sno-fail pie crust

You’ll think you’re incooking class with thesedetailed instructions, butthey are worth following.

2 cups all-purpose flour1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder(the secret ingredient)

1⁄4 teaspoon salt1 cup Crisco shortening,chilled (I use Crisco sticks)

1⁄2 cup ice cold water

Whisk together dryingredients. Cut short-ening into 1⁄2-inch pieces.Scatter over flour mix-ture and, using a fork orpastry blender, cut short-ening into flour untilmixture resemblescoarse crumbs with somelarge pieces remaining(about the size of peas –yes, it will work!). This iswhat will give you flaki-ness. Sprinkle half thecold water over and stirand draw flour with forkfrom bottom to top, dis-tributing water evenly.Add more water untildough is moist enough tohold together when you

roll a little bit into a ball.I usually use up all thewater. Divide in half andshape into two balls.Flatten balls into rounddisks. I like to refrigeratedough anywhere from 30minutes to overnight, butthat’s not necessary. (Youcan also freeze the doughfor a couple of months,thawing in refrigeratorbefore using). Roll out onlightly floured surfacefrom center out. I sprin-kle a bit of flour on top ofthe dough so it doesn’tstick to the rolling pin, oryou can skip flour androll it out between wax orparchment paper. Rollinto a circle inches widerthan pie plate.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Yes, you can use thefood processor, too. Justuse the pulse button.

Rita’s pecan pie

I use dark corn syrup.Light corn syrup gives a“softer” flavor. Check outmy blog for chocolatepecan pie.

Crust for one pie3 large eggs, beaten untilfoamy

1 cup sugar2 tablespoons butter,melted

1 cup corn syrup, dark orlight

11⁄2 teaspoons vanilla1 heaping cup pecans,halved or chopped

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Beat eggs, sug-ar, butter, syrup andvanilla well with whisk.Stir in nuts. Pour intocrust. Bake 45-55 min-utes or until toothpickinserted in center comesout fairly clean. Checkafter 45 minutes. Pie willbe puffed and golden andjiggle a bit in the centerbut that’s OK. Cool acouple of hours beforeserving.

Can you help?

Chessy looked for itfor a little while. Thenshe caught up with us aswe walked to the house.The little rabbit was safeunder the barn floor.

It always amazes mehow the mother rabbitknows where her nest ofbabies are when sheleaves them, but sheknows. I guess that isnature’s way.
