MILFORD—TheMilfordExemptedVil-lage School District Board of Educationunanimously approved an updated policyeliminating designated smoking areas onschool property – including athleticfields.

The policy was met with resistancefrom board members Rob Hewlett andGeorgeLucaswhen itwas first discussed

in November.Lucas called it a “feel-

good” policy officialswouldhave trouble enforc-ing.

Hewlett agreed, sayingit was easy to kick some-one out of a football gamefor drinking alcohol, butkicking someone out forchewing tobacco would beanother thing entirely.

Assistant Superinten-dent Tim Ackermann saidthe policy, which elimi-nates all tobacco use ondistrict property, is some-thing officials have beendiscussing “for a coupleyears.”

Ackermann said underthe old policy teachers and staff wereable to smoke at front doors, back doorsand other designated areas where stu-dents could see them.

“It felt like we weren’t setting a goodprecedent and example for the students,”he said.

The assistant superintendent alsomentioned the extensive cleanup of ciga-rette butts outside facilities that desig-nated smoking areas made necessary.

Board member Debbie Marques saidthe district already has a zero-tolerancepolicy for alcohol and drugs.

“The point is our goal is to make this asmoke-free, drug-free, alcohol-free cam-pus. That means our staff too. And I’msorry that means our visitors too,”Marques said.

“To tell kids they can’t do this and thenhave teachers outside doing this is con-tradictory.”

Hewlett said he agrees with the poli-cy’s intent, but struggles “with continu-ously adding rules and regulations on thepopulation.”

Hewlett pointed to Michelle Obama’sNational School Lunch Program, whichMilford schools participate in, as an ex-ample.

That program was done for the stu-dents’ benefit, giving them healthierlunchoptions,butkidsarenoweating lessand many schools are opting out of it,Hewlett said.

“Comparing cigarette smoking to afood program is kind of difficult becauseit’s illegal for students to smoke,”

After the escape of more than 50exoticanimals fromafarminZanes-ville, the state and all Ohio countiesare creating a response plan in thecase of a similar event.

Clermont County commissionerscreated a committee to craft anemergency response plan in caseany dangerous wild animals escapeor are intentionally released, saidPamBroughton,directorof theCler-mont County Emergency Manage-ment Agency.

The state is requiring all countiesto create a team, as part of the OhioRevisedCode, according to the reso-lution.

The committee will draft the re-sponse plan, as well as take applica-tions to be part of the ClermontCounty Dangerous Wild AnimalEmergency Response Team.

Broughton said the plan ismainlyfor first responderswhowouldbeonthe scene to guide them in dealingwith the situation.

Creating the plan is part of the

state’s response to theZanesville escape in2011, when TerryThompson releasedmore than 50 lions, ti-gers, bears, wolvesand monkeys fromhis Zanesville farm.

Thompson thencommitted suicide.

Police shot and killed most of theanimals. Six animals were capturedand taken to the Columbus Zoo andAquariumand placed under quaran-tine.

The Clermont County committeeis made up of nine people from vari-ous organizations, including fire de-partments, the American Red Crossand theCincinnatiZooandBotanicalGardens.

Broughton said the committeehas to create a plan by Feb. 28, andthen will need to be approved by thecounty commissioners.

Marques said.Hewlitt countered that

it isn’t illegal for adults tosmoke, which the policyimpacts. Nevertheless, heagreed to support the no-smoking policy, as long asthe board revisits it in oneyear to make sure it isworking.

“With the board’s di-rection, we would be hap-py to relook (sic) at it in ayear,” Ackermann said.

Lucas said tobacco usenegatively impacts lives,

which is something heknows personally, but hisissue with the policy wasenforcement.

“I don’t want any citi-zen banned from thegrounds,” he said.

“That was my issuewith theenforcement sideof that. Most people ofcommon reason are going

to recognize that what weare trying to do is for thebenefit of students.”

The policy, as it is writ-ten now, is solid, Lucassaid.

Citizens caught smok-ing will be verbally noti-fied of the board’s policyand after multiple of-fenses can be removedfrom school property.

If someone refuses toput out their cigarette ortobacco product they“may be fined by the OhioDepartment of Health,”according to the policy.

BoardmemberAndreaBrady said discussion ofthe policy makes it soundlike the school district isnot currently smoke-free.

“Our buildings are to-bacco free. That policyhas been in effect since1995,” she said.

“We’re not going fromadults can smoke in build-ings and now they are not(allowed). I think that isgetting lost in some of thediscussion.”

Announcements willbe made about the policybefore home athleticgames and during half-time. “No tobacco” signsalso will be postedthroughout the district,according to the policy.

MIAMI TWP. —A simplediscussion between de-partment heads aboutsharing an old buildingcould have been the signof something more sig-nificant.

Trustees were certain-ly impressed.

“I havewaited13 yearstohearthe levelofcooper-ation we’ve heard in thisdiscussion right here,”said Trustee Mary Mak-ley Wolff.

“I can’t tell you howlong we’ve fought forthat.”

Longtime Police ChiefR. Steven Bailey and FireChief JimWhitworth bothretired this year.

On the cover of MiamiTownship’s recent news-letter stand their replace-ments, Police Chief SueMadsen and Fire ChiefSteve Kelly.

The headline reads “Anewera in safety servicesleadership is underway.”

In their first budgetmeeting together, the duoused the phrase “dominoeffect” multiple times toexplain their plans for thenew year.

“Whatwe saw is a lot ofunused space,” Madsensaid, referring specifical-ly to the former servicebuilding next to the policedepartment.

The goal is to refrainfrom building somethingnew, and, instead, usewhat departments al-

ready have, she said.“We found everything

had a domino effect. Wecan’t do that until we dothis,” Madsen said.

There are problems:The fire department

wants better showerspace, Kelly said.

Right now there is onemen’s and women’s bath-room in the central sta-tion. Firefighters andparamedics trying toshower must share thebathroomwith the public,who often take CPR andother training classesthere.

“If you could get (new)showers, from a moralestandpoint, little thingscan really make a big dif-ference,” said TrusteeKen Tracy.

The police departmentwants locker rooms and arestroom they don’t haveto share with criminalsand suspects they bringin.

“That means urinetests, that means peoplepuking everywhere andthen we have to use thatsame facility,” Madsensaid.

“We don’t know whothat person is, or if theymight have some type ofcommunicable disease.”

There are other prob-lems.

Investigations are con-ducted in a “closet” andthe department wants awitness facility that givesoff a “better look and feelfor the township,” Mad-sen said.

Trustee Karl Schultzsaid the configuration ofthe station isn’t ideal.

“(With) the trafficcoming from one end ofthe building to the other,you’re going throughplaces you shouldn’t begoing through,” Schultzsaid.

Discussing their visionfor the future, the newchiefs gave trustees along list of improvementsto digest.

Kelly said he walkedaround with Madsen andthe township’s service di-rector for three hours re-cently to examine exist-ing facilities.

It all starts with theservice building, the firstdomino in their masterplan.

The police use thebuilding for evidence, to

store community out-reach material and for agun-cleaning room.

The fire departmentuses one room for train-ing, but the majority ofthe space is an overflowstorage area.

“The goal would be tomove (the workout equip-ment)back into thatbuild-ing and create a largertraining room,” Kellysaid.

The training roomwould be shared by bothdepartments and wouldfree up office space in thepolice station.

Kelly said he plans tobegin selling and dispos-ing of overflow materialsin thebuildingafterJan.1.

The police departmentwants to build a mezza-nine in another section ofthe building to storeD.A.R.Ematerial and oth-er excess equipment.

With the service build-ing cleared out, the interi-or can be altered to ac-

commodate a locker roomand shower facility.

There is currently oneshower in the men’s rest-room.

The police departmentbudgeted $20,800 for themezzanine and its rest-room at the station. It alsobudgeted $59,000 to movethe evidence room, anoth-er domino knocked overby reconfiguring the ser-vice building.

Kelly said he hopes to“get everything squaredaway and have that facil-ity come to life (some-time) in 2014.”

Administrator LarryFronk said there are “stilla lot more discussions tocome” before those pro-jects are realized.

Wolff reiterated justbecause a capital im-provement is OK’d in thebudget doesn’t mean itautomatically happens,but said she looked for-ward to hearing moreabout what was discuss-

ed.She also said the civic

center could be used forcivilian training.

“When we purchasedthis building ... wewantedyou guys to utilize thisbuilding for training,”Wolff said.

“There’s room to putresuscitation equipmenthere. You could do public... classrooms (here) — allof this stuff works togeth-er. If we can’t figure thatout as an organizationthen shame on us.”

South station ‘shed’dismissed

When Kelly suggestedadding a $100,000 storagegarage to the south sta-tion, on1154 U.S. Route 50in Perintown, trusteesgroaned.

The garage has beenproposed before.

“Until we know whatwe are doing with the sta-tions we are wary of ex-panding what we alreadyhave,” Wolff said, refer-ring to the new stationthat will most likely bebuilt on state Route 131.

Tracysaidhewantedtoknow what the south sta-tion would be used for“before we get to a$100,000 shed.”

“I’m not a fire person— and I never claimed tobe — but looking at thenumbers the south stationcan be used for a lot moreresources than it is (cur-rently) being used for,” hesaid.

“Right now, the num-ber of runs coming out ofthe south station is slim tonone and slim is leavingtown.”

Kelly said he hoped tohave a more strategicplan for trustees to con-sider concerning the de-partment’s stations in thefirst half of 2014.

The roar of racing engines was heardduring the third annual Ohio ValleyVoices OVV-500 in October at Motor-sports Country Club of Cincinnati.

Eight teams of four drivers competedin European style karts on the profes-sionally designed track in Batavia, Ohio.The Kart Enduro invitational race is abenefit event forOhioValleyVoices.Ma-ria Sentelik is the executive director ofthe Miami Township program that pro-vides early intervention to teach pro-foundly hearing impaired infants andchildren to listen and talk.

“TheOVV500 is suchauniqueevent,”Sentelik said. “It’s an opportunity for abunch of people to get in cars and racearound. It’s an exciting opportunity forpeoplewhoareconnected insomewaytoOhio Valley Voices to really let somesteam out.”

Even people who know nothing aboutracing get in the cars. Sentelik sat it outthis year, but has put on the helmet andgloves, slid behind the wheel, and tookthe turns around the track in previousyears. She admitted it was a little scaryfor her. It is an all-day event. A profes-sional driver is on hand to help, and theparticipants all took some “warm-up”laps.

“It’s funtowatchthem,”Senteliksaid.“As the day goes on, they start gettingthe hang of what this means. Eventuallyyou see them getting better and reallycompetitive. By the end of the day,

they’restoked. ‘I’maracecardriver.’ It’sa fun event.”

More than just a fun event, the OVV500 netted over $10,000 for the programthis year. The daylong event included anauction which raised about $500 of thatsum. “Team Trista,” named after OVVstudent Trista DeBruler, was the win-ning team. Her father, Scott DeBruler,and the father of another student, bothtook the wheel as part of the winningteam of four drivers.

Ashley Schmitz was also a driver forone of the teams in the race. Her two-year old son attends OVV. Tate Schmitzwas born with moderate to severe hear-ing loss in both ears

“He’s been there since he was 18-months-old,” Schmitz said. “When hestarted, hewasn’t talkingat all.Nowhe’dtalkingupastorm.He’sreallyfeisty;he’ssaying all kinds of stuff they teach him.He’s doing really, really well.”

Ohio Valley Voices has been instru-mental in supporting legislation for hos-pitals to test the hearing of newborn ba-bies at birth. Schmitz says they knewthere was a problem the day Tate wasborn because of this testing. As a result,they hadhis full diagnosis by the timehewas three weeks old. He had his first setof hearing aids by the time he was 10-weeks-old. They call him “Tater Bear”and drive 45minutes from their home inSpringboro, Ohio to bring him to OVVand back.

“It’s quite a drive,” Schmitz said.“When we did the tour, we were reallyamazed with what the kids were doing.We wondered how it would affect Tate.Looking at where he was versus wherehe is now, we always tell people the pro-gram is amazing.”

Fred Zacharias is already connectedas a member of the OVV board of direc-tors, chairman for the race event, and adriver on one of the teams.He hoped theevent would help raise money for theschool, but he has even higher hopes be-yond that.

“One of the other things is to get newpeople to come out and bring themalongto get involved with OVV,” he said.“That’s how we got involved. Somebodybrought us to an event and we sort ofjumped into it.”

“It’s fun to watch them. As the day goes on, they start getting the hang of what this means."MARIA SENTELIK, Ohio Valley Voices executive director

CINCINNATI — It might nothave been his first choice, but inretrospect, it was the rightchoice.

So said Milford High Schoolgraduate Kyle Grothaus of hisdecisiontoattendandplaysoccerfor Cincinnati State. He recentlycompleted his sophomore seasonby playing in his second consec-utivenational juniorcollege tour-nament.

“When (Surge head soccercoach) Mike Combs came to mewith a good offer to play, I had tothink about it,” he said. “Every-bodywants to playDivision I, butI wasn’t ready.”

He is now.The Community Press caught

up with Grothaus a few days be-foreheofficially signedhis letterof intent to continue his educa-tionandsoccercareeratBowlingGreen State University. He plansto major in biology and sportsmanagement and will beginclasses in January.

Grothaus said academicswere themostdifficult part ofhistransition to college. AttendingCincinnati State proved benefi-cial.

“At first I wasn’t too sureabout school and it was hard,” hesaid. “Itwas a lotmorework thanhigh school. But I knew I had tobuckle down and get through it,so I did. The soccer part has beengreat, but I think doing that hasbeen themost valuable thing I'vedone.”

Grothaus has big plans for hisNCAADivision I career.

“On the field Ihope tokeepmysuccessup,”hesaid. “I thinkIcanbe all-(Mid-American Confer-ence), maybe all-American. Iwant to play soccer professional-ly. I’m going to work my hardestto get whatevermay come next.”

Combs said hard work is partof Grothaus’ DNA.

“He was our leading scorer asan outside midfielder and he’s

been an everyday starter for usthe last two years,” Combs said.“Hehas suchgood speed, he real-ly causes problems around thebox for other teams. He lived upto our expectations 100 percent.

“Getting the local guys likeKyle to stay home is crucial forus. We don’t have a facility, ahomefield. I’mnot full timeat theschool. We’re recruiting againstsome very good local teams atUC,XUandNKU, so for us to getthatkindof talent, tohelpnurtureit andhelp themget toa four-yearschool, that’s very important.

“Kyle is part of a sophomoreclass with nine of 10 guys goingon to four-year schools on schol-arship.We’reveryproudof that.”

Grothaus said his favoritehighschool soccermemorywasasectional final match againstMoeller.

“It goes to overtime and Iscored a goal with about eightminutes,” he said. “I jumped intothishugecrowd. Itwasamazing.”

Combs said Grothaus had asimilar signature moment earlyin his Surge career.

“He’s actually had quite a few,but one that really stands outwasfrom the national tournament hisfreshmanyear,”Combs said. “Hehad a goal from the outside thatwas perfect, really perfect.

“Kyle is one who is a hugecompetitor. He saw the opportu-nity in front of himanddidn’t shyaway from the spotlight. At thenational tournament, about 90percent of the people attendingare coaches from four-yearschools.They tooknotice. It grewhis confidence and got him someof the exposure he needed tomove on from here.”

Milford High School graduate Kyle Grothaus (8) was the leading scorer for the Cincinnati State soccerteam as a sophomore. He recently committed to continue his career at Bowling Green State University.PHOTO COURTESY OF CINCINNATI STATE

A publication of

Winter isn’t just a time tobundle up and head indoors.Clermont CAN (Coalition forActivity and Nutrition) be-lieves that just because theflurries start to fall doesn’tmean you shouldn’t continue todo activities outside.

One of the best ways toincrease physical activity is tosimply walk. The longer andfarther you go the better foryou, but you can start out withjust 10 minutes.

Recommendations foradults are 150 minutes of mod-erate activity a week. Thatseems like a lot all at once butit is only 30 minutes a day.

Some days you may walklonger to make up for skippinga day and that is fine; find

what worksfor you.

There are acouple of tipsto rememberwhen walkingoutside inwinter. First,start out slow;allow yourmuscles towarm up grad-ually.

Watch out for icy roadwaysand trails, you can try wearingstudded outdoor walking shoesfor extra grip or try usingtraction devices that slip overyour shoes. You may not thinkabout it in the winter, but youneed to hydrate just as much,take some water along with

you, you will lose waterthrough the dry winter air andsweating.

Watch the roadways; motor-ist may not be expecting walk-ers in the winter months. Al-ways wear reflective clothingand be sure to walk where it issafe.

Clermont County has a won-derful system of county, town-ship and village parks that youcan use at no cost. Wear mul-tiple layers that you can movein. You can always take a layeroff, but you will be miserableif you don’t have enough on.

Consider making your out-side layer wind resistant tohelp cut down on the cold.Layers should be of a materialthat keeps moisture away

from you skin.Avoid wearing cotton, once

you start sweating, you mayget cold if you cannot get themoisture away from yourbody. Be sure to wear glovesand a hat, most of your heatescapes through your head.Again, you can always take itoff if you need to cool downbut you are better off to keepit on.

Socks should be made ofwool for warmth but not toobulky to prevent blisters. Keepin mind you will be movingwhich should keep you warm.

Don’t forget your sunglass-es, if there is snow on theground the glare can reduceyour visibility. If it gets ex-tremely cold out, move in-

doors, many malls allow walk-ing and have designated hours.

Clermont CAN encourageseveryone to “Be Active, EatSmart” and you can do it as afamily. Clermont CAN and theClermont County Health Dis-trict encourage families tostart incorporating physicalactivity into their normal rou-tine and walking is one of thebest ways to do it.

More information on Cler-mont CAN and places for nocost or low cost physical activ-ity can be found at www.cler-monthealthdistrict.org.

Last week’s questionShould the U.S. adopt an advisory

panel’s recommendations to end thegovernment’s systematic collection oflogs of all Americans’ cellular phonecalls and require those to be kept inprivate hands “for queries and datamining” only by court order? Why orwhy not?

“We are definitely in an 1984 epicrealty show. Unfortunately, it is nota 'show' but the central governmentintrusion into our lives.

“The recent U.S. District Courtopinion was on the money. Erodingour private lives is unacceptable.This started when 9/11 caught mostof us by surprise. Many documentshave shown that the present whole-sale spying on citizens would nothave prevented that tragedy.

“Secret courts whiteout publicinformation is a danger to the Con-stitution. One should read that docu-ment to understand the many waysthat government agencies are twist-ing it.”

W.B.

“Yes, the US should probablyadopt the recommendation, but thepresident has said there will be adecision made about much of this inJanuary. In the post-911world manyparts of our freedom of speech havebeen curtailed.

“The real question is howmuchfreedom are we willing to sacrificein order to feel safer from terrorismoccurring on our soil? And if youhave a problem with that sacrificeof freedom, don't use a cell phone.”

TRog

“I believe TimeMagazine'schoice of Pope Francis is an excel-lent one! What strikes me about thepope is his simplicity and his urgingall of us to feed the poor throughoutthe world and to strive for worldpeace. Another noticable trait is hisalways smiling face and never beingafraid to spread the Gospel of JesusChrist.

“What a great example he is of adisciple of our Lord. If we all fol-lowed his lead, there would be farless problems in the world and inour own country!”

NEXT QUESTIONShould Ohio allow online voter regis-tration, which would allow for an imme-diate cross check of license records andhelp prevent illegal voting? Why or whynot?

Every week we ask readers a question they canreply to via e-mail. Send your answers [email protected] with Chatroomin the subject line.

Jan. 30, 1861: U.S. Rep. WilliamHow-ard of Batavia rose to address his col-leagues about the impending crisis.Howard was a 43-year-old conservativeDemocrat who served two terms asClermont County’s prosecuting at-torney and one term in the Ohio Senatebefore being elected to Congress.

The situation was dire. South Caroli-na, claimed “the increasing hostility onthe part of the non-slave holding statesto the institution of slavery” - especial-ly their failure to enforce the FugitiveSlave Act - was responsible for theConstitutional crisis.

The secessionists, believing that theNorth wouldn’t stop until it abolishedslavery throughout the country, said itwas left with no other choice.

South Carolina left the Union onDec. 24, 1860. Within a month five otherstates - Mississippi, Florida, Alabama,Georgia, and Louisiana - followedSouth Carolina out of the Union.

Howard sympathized with theSouth. He agreed that the North failedto enforce the Fugitive Slave Act. TheNorth agitated the South by sending“forth their emissaries to stir up theunsuspecting slave to insurrection to

murder, rape, arson.”In short, he blamed

the North for the situa-tion: “the Northernstates were the aggres-sors; and if they really-…desire the preserva-tion of the Union, letthem first correct theerrors at home.”

Though provoked,the South couldn’t

leave the Union because “This Union,under our Constitution, was intended tobe perpetual.”

Representative Howard praised theefforts of President James Buchananto save the Union. “What Americancitizen,” Howard asked, “does not feela glow of pride thrill his very soul tosee the present Executive…enforcingthe national laws, elevating our flag,and showing a determination at allhazards to preserve and perpetuate ournational honor?”

What of the future? Would it be waror peace? That, he said, was entirely“within the hands of the RepublicanParty.”

If the president-elect insisted on

restraining slavery’s expansion, then itwas likely that the nation would hearthe “tramp and tread of hostile ar-mies.” Howard urged compromise bysupporting the so called Crittendenproposals which would have preservedboth slavery and the Union.

Howard’s Southern sympathies maysound strange to modern ears, but theywere well within the mainstream ofDemocrat party thoughts about slav-ery. The party’s platform reaffirmedits support for slavery.

The Democrats upheld the rights ofthe states to regulate slavery, urgedsupport for the Fugitive Slave Act, andblamed the abolitionists for agitatingagainst slavery, predicting those ef-forts will “endanger the stability andpermancy of the Union.” They pledgedto do what they could to preserve theinstitution.

Events overtook the compromisers.Howard, like many Democrats, went towar to preserve the Union, not to freethe slaves.

Howard joined up with the 59th OhioVolunteer Infantry at Camp Ammen inRipley. The 59th was a hard-fightingunit, seeing heavy action at Shiloh,Perryville and Stone River.

Howard left the service with a med-ical discharge with a rank of Lieuten-ant Colonel. He returned to Batavia tocontinue his law practice.

Nearly 24 years ago, American lead-ership helped bring down the BerlinWall without firing a shot. Now, ourservice members and veterans are upagainst a new wall – bureaucracy.

This wall complicates nearly everyfacet of life as they transition fromactive duty service to veteran status.This Veterans Day, we must renew ourcommitment to those who have servedus. Our task begins by ensuring thattheir medical records, which documentyears or decades of service, seamlesslyfollow them from uniformed to veteranstatus.

The House of Representatives istaking action to push both the Depart-ments of Defense and Veterans Affairsto realize this goal. Our troops facenumerous challenges after they serve:transitioning to civilian life, finding acareer or continuing their education, toname just a few. Our veterans shouldnot have to serve as couriers betweenthe DoD and VA too. It’s an additionaland unnecessary burden.

Our two biggest departments arestill not fully capable of digitally com-municating in the 21st century. Early inhis presidency, President Obamacharged these two departments to“build a seamless system of integration

with a single goal:when a member of theArmed Forced sep-arates from the mil-itary, he or she will nolonger have to walkpaperwork from a DoDduty station to a localVA health center; theirelectronic records willtransition along withthem and remain withthem forever.”

This vision has devolved into a se-ries of missed milestones, shiftingpriorities and ballooning budgets. TheHouse Veterans’ Affairs Committeelearned earlier this year that thesefailures have led President Obama andboth departments to abandon the origi-nal goal of one system, and instead plancontinued reliance on separate systemsintegrated together to connect elec-tronic health records.

I served as an Army combat sur-geon in Iraq and still serve as a Reserv-ist. I know that my fellowmilitarymembers, when they retire, should nothave to continue to wage war at homeagainst bureaucracies and paperwork.And yet, a doctor treating veteranscannot seamlessly access the medical

history of their patient because thathistory is housed in a separate DefenseDepartment system. VA doctors reportthat initial steps are improving thisdigital sharing, while still on separatesystems.

The House of Representatives isworking to tackle these issues throughthe bipartisan H.R. 1960. Importantsections call for basic interoperabilitycapabilities within a year, meaning thatdoctors on both sides will be able toreadily viewmedical history files.

By 2016, we are demanding fullsystem integration between the twodepartments. These are essential stepstowards realizing a system that seam-lessly communicates medical historyfiles between the departments, withoutforcing the burden on to the shouldersof our transitioning veterans

It’s discouraging for our troops, ourveterans, and our doctors to face a wallof bureaucracy that hinders care. Theydeserve a lasting solution that honorstheir legacy and service.

JANUARY 1, 2014 • CJN-MMA • B3LIFE

At the start of eachnew year with you, I liketo talk about food trends.Locally sourced con-tinues to be a big factor,along with homemadebiscuits instead of bunsand bread for sand-

wiches.Anothertrend ishealthierkids meals:yogurt,applesauceand bakedfries forfried.

Gluten-free (nosurprise)

items will be abundant inrestaurants and at thegrocery.

Chefs will use nuts ascoating for poultry andfish instead of flour.

Veggies galore, espe-cially cauliflower, will becooked simply or withflavorful herbs andspices as mains andsides.

Heirloom beans andpeanuts are “in” and areeasily grown. Peanutshide under the groundand kids love to harvestthese.

Rice is big this year.You’ll see a dizzyingvariety, from instant tobrown to the new darlingof the food world: Caroli-na Gold. This is thegrandfather of long-grainrice here and, dependingupon the way it’s cooked,can be made into fluffyrice or creamy risotto.

Tea is here to stay. Getout mom’s tea set andenjoy a relaxing andhealthy cup of tea. Teacontains polyphenols,antioxidants that aregood for our heart, teeth,eyes and general goodhealth.

As far as wild edibles,I’m right on top of it. I’vemade pine needle tea(high in vitamins A andC) for years and now it’shit the big time. It has aminty, piney flavor. Lookfor ground pine needletea at health food stores.

Ditto for sumac lem-onade. We have sumactrees (not the poisonsumac!) growing alongour old country road andin late August they bear abeautiful, cone-shapedred fruit perfect for tart,healthy lemonade. Acaution here: Alwaysmake a positive identifi-cation when picking wildedibles. There are manynon-edible look-a-likesout there.

Rita’s vegetarian redbeans and rice

My twist on Hoppin’John, the traditional NewYear’s dish. Rice andbeans together make aprotein-filled dish. Addsautéed shrimp or chick-en for a non-vegetarianmeal. Use your favoritebeans.

1 very generous cupchopped onion

2-3 teaspoons garlic, minced2 teaspoons cumin or totaste

2 bay leaves1 teaspoon chili powderblend or to taste

2 cups rice2 cans red beans, drained4 cups vegetable or chickenbroth, or bit more ifneeded

Salt and pepper to taste

To stir in after cook-ing: Favorite greens (Ifusing kale, add when youput rice in as it takes

longer to cook).Garnish: Thinly sliced

green onions, choppedtomatoes

Film pan with olive oil.Add onion, garlic, cumin,bay and chili powder.Sauté until onion looksalmost clear. Add rice,beans and broth. Bring toboil. Cover and lower to asimmer and cook untilrice is tender. Removebay leaves.

Health aspectsBeans: Lower choles-

terol, stabilize bloodsugar and reduce risk ofcancer and heart disease.

Onions and garlic:Great for your heart.

Tomatoes: Containsantioxidants and is goodfor the prostate.

Brown rice vs. white:Nutritionally superior,your body absorbs nutri-ents from brown ricemore slowly.

Bay: Helps blood sug-ar levels.

Easy Southern“light” biscuits

Try a Southern flourlike White Lily, which hasa lower gluten/proteincontent than Northernflours and produces alighter textured biscuit.

2 cups self-rising flour1⁄4 cup shortening2⁄3 to 3⁄4 cup buttermilkMelted butter

Preheat oven to 475degrees. Spray bakingsheet. Spoon flour intomeasuring cup and leveloff. Cut in shorteninguntil mixture resemblescoarse crumbs. With afork, blend in enoughmilk until dough leavessides of bowl. Knead acouple times on lightlyfloured surface and roll1⁄2 inch thick, cutting withbiscuit cutter or glass.Place on baking sheet,one inch apart. Bake 8-10minutes or until golden.Brush with melted but-ter.

flour, more Hoppin’ Johnrecipes and quick ched-dar bay biscuits.

“He then had mymother give him theinformation off the cardso he could verify thefunds. He told her every-thing was great and thathe needed to place her onhold so he could go aheadand finalize the trans-action. He came back onthe line and said that, dueto her credit, would shebe able to verify a secondmonth’s payment foranother $150 on the Vanil-la Card? She told him,‘No,’” Krystal wrote.

At this point Krystalsays she and her motherwere suspicious, began

Thieves have figuredout a new way to stealyour money and itdoesn’t involve sendingyou bad checks.

Once again they preyon people who can leastafford to lose money:those seeking a loan.

Krystal, I’ll just useher first name, wroteabout her mother’s needfor a loan while out ofwork following surgery.She turned to the In-ternet and found lots ofwebsites offering loans.After applying at one of

them, she received a callsaying she was approvedfor the $2,000 she wasrequesting.

But first, she was told,she had to prove shecould cover her first loanpayment. She told thelender she wouldn’t sendhimmoney before get-ting the funds.

“He answered, ‘No, ofcourse not. We just needto verify you’ll be able tomake the payment,’”Krystal wrote.

Krystal says she wasinstructed to go a local

research-ing thecard anddiscoveredthe so-calledlender wasbuyingtime so hecould pullthe fundsoff the

Vanilla Reload Card. Bythe time they began try-ing to download thefunds from the cardthemselves, the “lender”had already taken all themoney.

They called the localpolice who had themcontact the Vanilla Net-work to see if they couldlearn where the money

from the card was re-leased. She was told ithad been placed into theaccount of a pre-paiddebit card so the moneycould now be taken andused anywhere without atrace.

“All said and done thisscam has me out of pock-et over $170,” Krystalwrote.

She’s not alone, I re-ceived a letter from aHarrison area man whoalso applied for an onlineloan and was sent to thestore to buy a Green DotMoney Pack. He loaded$375 on the card anddidn’t realize it was ascam until they got an-other $282 from him.

The Federal Trade

Commission says legiti-mate lenders never“guarantee” or sayyou’re likely to get a loanor a credit card evenbefore you apply – espe-cially if you have badcredit, no credit or abankruptcy.

Bottom line, beware ofthese newmethods usedto steal your money. Re-member, online lendingoffers are often justscams and a quick way tolose your money.

Howdy Folks,Wednesday Ruth Ann

and I went down to mybrothers for the noonmeal. His wife, Inezcooked a great meal. RuthAnn fried frozen crappie.Herb sure likes fish espe-cially, bluegills and crap-pie. Their son and daugh-ter-in-law were there toeat with us, also Randyour foster brother. Herbis doing pretty good. Hehas trouble walking. Hehas a good appetite andthat is good, he is my onlybrother living.

The Bethel Lions clubheld a pancake breakfastlast Saturdaymorningwith a good crowd. Theschool had a wrestlingtournament and thatalways help with the kidseating pancakes afterweigh in.

Ruth Ann and I deliv-ered the calendars tofolks that ordered them.We took a couple to Be-thel Marine/Tire Service.The folks that have thefacility are doing a superjob. They did have theauto mechanics and tireshop in Bethel. Now theyhave that along with theBethel marine shop. Sothey can work on boats orvehicles and put on newtires. If you are down thatway stop and say hello tothe folks and see howthey are ready to takecare of your boat or vehi-cle. They are very qual-ified and their telephonenumber is 734-2628. Theyalso have storage forboats or vehicles and theyare doing a lot of remod-eling to make their busi-

ness betterfor service.

I wastold a fellersaw acoyote andher pupand theywere bothwhite. Thecoyotes aregetting to

be a bigger number intheir pack. They havetaken a number of thegroundhogs down.

The new kitten wehave, Chester sure likesto play. A friend of oursgave us a plastic thingwith several hole in it. Ithas several small micemade of fabric that hecan reach in and try toget out. He sure does playwith this and when hegets them out he batsthem around then runsand gets each one androlls around. He can do asomersault real quick.

Ruth Ann had a bigplastic bag the one thathas loops for hand holes.Chester was playing withit the other morning. Hegot his head in the handlepart and was runningwith the bag. Ruth Anncaught the bag and pulledit off of him. It was sofunny how he was run-ning and was scared ofthe noise it was making.He as a kitten does a lotof playing. Then stopsand has a snack thenjumps on the couch andsleeps. We sure enjoyChester. If he is playingand Ruth Ann gets upfrom her chair and goesto the kitchen he will run

after her. He sometimessleeps with us at night.Then in the morning be-fore we get up he likes toplay and jumps if wemove the covers any.

We went down toMil-ford to the Garden Centerto help Santa last Sat-urday evening. It wasspecial. We had the plea-sure of having two sets oftwins onmy lap. One setwere 4 1/2 months oldboth were girls, theiryoung brother was about2 1/2 years old. The othertwins were older. Thiswas so special.

I talked toMike at theBoars Head Bait Shop inAfton. He said there werea few fisherman out andthey were catching fishand the duck hunterswere getting their limit ofducks.

We have receivedsome seed catalogs andnow I want to start plant-ing. I know it is too earlybut that doesn’t stop mefrom dreaming and plan-ning for spring.

We hope everyone hada good Christmas and aHappy NewYear. Keepcheck on your neighborand the shut-ins to see ifthey have food and heat.

Start your week bygoing to the House ofWorship of your choiceand praise the Good Lord.God Bless All. More Lat-er.
