Milford should build a multi-usepicnic shelter – not an amphitheater– on its riverfront.

That’s the consensus of a steeringcommittee of Milford City Council’sCommunity Development Commit-tee and the Milford Parks and Rec-reation Commission of volunteers.

The steering committee is rec-ommending that Milford City Coun-cil approve a plan for RiversidePark on Water Street with a newshelter in the area of the existingplayground, but nearer to the LittleMiami River.

“The purpose of the shelter is 90percent of the time, or most of thetime, it would have picnic tables onthere for people to rent out for birth-day parties (and) family reunions,”Charles Evans, chairman of the Mil-ford Parks and Recreation Commis-sion, said.

“Also, there’s numerous week-ends where there’s 5K runs that(would) start there or bicycle raceswhere they (would use) it as a shel-ter.

“And then maybe once or twice ayear, the picnic tables would be re-moved and we can have a concert inthe park,” Evans said.

The Community Developmentand Parks and Recreation steeringcommittee has come up with a varie-ty of possible designs for a shelter atRiverside Park.

All of them are open and theyhave different kinds of roofs, suchas a peaked structure or a cupola.

Milford City Council has appliedfor $70,000 in federal CommunityDevelopment Block Grant funds tobuild the shelter.

Other Riverside Park ideas pro-

posed by the steering committee in-clude adding:

» A “natural” playscape built ofwood with a rough-hewn look forchildren to climb on and swing from.

» Multiple fitness stationsaround the park featuring workoutfixtures such as the seat and pedalassembly of a bike and mountedsquares to press a foot on andstretch against.

» New paths wide enough for jog-gers, walkers and stroller-pushers toshare.

» Nature/history trails withmounted signs along the way dis-playing information, pictures andmaps.

» Outdoor musical instrumentssuch as large wind chimes.

» Nineteen more parking spacesby the existing playground.

In the proposed Riverside Parkplan, the existing playground re-mains, along with the existing picnicshelter, existing baseball field andexisting restrooms.

The large green space in the mid-dle of the park also would stay un-touched.

Milford City Council plans toschedule a public hearing on the pro-posed park plan in the future, MayorLaurie Howland said.

The step after that would be forMilford City Council to vote on thefinal Riverside Park plan and prio-ritize the elements, Howland said.

Howland said the plan will not bedeveloped all at once, rather as citycouncil sees fit based on the budget.

“The key will be having an actualplan to follow that our residentswere able to offer input on,” How-land said.

No ice? No problem forthe 30 firefighters partici-pating in the three-day icerescue training in MiamiTownship.

Thanks to a plywood dockborrowed from the ColerainTownship Fire Department,training participants couldat least simulate the experi-ence of pulling themselvesand victims from the icycold pond at Miami Mead-ows Park.

It’s an unusual situation.Usually ice is abundant thistime of year, trainer DaveMoore said. In his 20 years oftraining, Moore said he’sonly trained without icetwice. Regardless of thelake’s conditions, the train-ing is beneficial, he said.

“Most of these guys havesome experience with waterrescue,” Moore said. “Thisjust reinforces it.”

Moore and his colleague,Justin Fox, are trainers withDive Rescue Internationaland were invited by MiamiTownship Fire/EMS to pro-vide the ice rescue training.

To receive similar train-ing, departments usuallyhave to send firefighters toplaces like Michigan or Wis-consin, Miami Township

Hold the iceFebruary is typically a good month for ice rescue training.

This year, however, the lack of ice poses a challenge.

conditions and make deci-sions about the best wayto affect the rescue,” hesaid. “As simple as itsounds, getting someoneout of a hole in the icewhere the person is al-ready very cold, there-fore unable to follow sim-ple commands, and alsobecause of the cold theyhave issues with musclecoordination, there’s a lotmore technique to get thatperson out of the waterand over the ice shelf it-self.”

Lt. Francisco Caceres,a training officer with theMadeira & Indian HillJoint Fire District, attend-ed the ice rescue class.

“We anticipate he (Ca-ceres) will bring what-ever updates and varia-tions in ice-rescue tech-niques he learns back forall the rest of the Madeira& Indian Hill Joint FireDistrict folks,” said Ste-phen Ashbrock, chief ofthe joint fire district.

“We have trained in icerescue techniques eachyear for the past severalyears.

“We are equipped withice suits and try to keepabreast of the various ap-proached to ice rescue sit-uation,” Ashbrock said.

Fire/EMS Lt. Jeff Chil-ders said. By hosting atraining here locally, itmakes it more cost effec-tive for everyone in-volved, he said.

Training participantsreceive certification andare able to train others intheir department in therescue techniques, Chil-ders said. Since there wasno ice for this training,participants have been in-vited by Dive Rescue In-ternational to participate,at no cost, to a training inTroy, Ohio, at the end ofFebruary.

Water rescue, especial-ly ice, is an area MiamiTownship Fire and EMS isworking to strengthen, as-sistant Chief Daniel Macksaid.

“We have a lot of bodies

of water in Miami Town-ship,” he said. “It’s muchmore than the Little Mi-ami and East Fork riverson our borders. “Thereare literally hundreds ofother bodies, small pondsto larger, almost lakes,like in Miami Meadows.”

The department hasthe necessary ice rescueequipment and has re-sponded to a few ice res-cues involving animals.

Ice rescue is an area offocus for Anderson Town-ship Fire and Rescue,which recently completedtwo weeks of training atConey Island with Cincin-nati Fire Department.About 90 percent of thedepartment’s membersare trained in ice rescue,Battalion Chief SeanSmith said.

Anderson Townshipsent two firefighters tothe training in MiamiTownship just to keep cur-rent on the latest tech-

niques.“There might be some

new techniques we canbring back to our depart-ment,” Smith said. “Weneed to keep up-to-dateand make sure we’ve goteverything we should bedoing.”

Ice rescue sounds sim-ple, but it’s really com-plex, Mack said.

“You not only have tobe able to use the equip-ment, you need to read the

Ashbrock said the Ma-deira & Indian Hill JointFire District has manysmall lakes and ponds inthe response district, in-cluding the Grand ValleyPreserve in Camp Denni-son.

“We also feel stronglyabout and support train-ing with our neighbors inall aspects of emergencyresponse,” Ashbrock said.

Ashbrock said the jointfire district has most re-cently used its equipmentand training for ice res-cue in rescuing dogs thathave fallen into waterthrough thin ice.

“A dog in such a situa-tion often contributes to ahuman crisis as the dogowner tries to rescue hisor her pet,” Ashbrocksaid.

“We take that opportu-nity to caution dog ownerswho walk their dogs inwinter near open water.Keep the dog on a leash!”

The Central Joint Fire/EMS District for Cler-mont County had one fire-fighter/paramedic partic-ipate in the Miami Town-ship Fire/EMS Ice RescueTraining.

“It is very importantfor us because part ofLake Harsha is in our ju-

risdiction,” Central JointFire/EMS District ChiefKevin Riley said.

Riley said paramedicsand firefighters in the dis-trict also received train-ing from a district chiefwho attended an ice res-cue session in Pembine,Wisconsin three yearsago.

“We actually have nothad to use it, fortunately,”Riley said, adding that thedepartment has not beeninvolved in an ice rescue.

However, Riley saidthe information is stillvery valuable.

“It’s important to notethat if you’re not familiarwith ice or how to mea-sure the thickness of (it),don’t get on it,” he said. “Ifwe can keep people off of(the ice) we would be hap-py.”

Riley said he wasstruck by how quicklysomeone can become in-capacitated when ex-posed to frigid waters.Someone can become in-capacitated within a fewminutes, he said. “It’s avery dangerous situa-tion.”

agreed toallow anArby’s tobe built at3789 Wa-terfordParkwayoff OhioPike and aRaisingCane’s

“It’s good to see a com-pany want to invest inUnion Township.”

Said John McGraw,chairman of the townshipboard of trustees: “Wetalk a lot of about the East-gate Corridor, but theOhio Pike Corridor has alot going on, too.”

Raising Cane’s will bebuilt on Eastgate NorthDrive in front of the newHobby Lobby on stateRoute 32.

Zook expects the East-gate Raising Cane’s to doabout $2.5 million-worthof business its first year.

“About 2 to 4 percent ofour sales go back to thecommunity through edu-cation programs, volun-teering - anything reallywe can really do to help(integrate) ourselves intothe community,” Zooksaid.

“We even put the nameof the community on theoutside of our building tolet everyone know withinthe community that that istheir Raising Cane’s, it’sno one else’s.”

Concerned citizens,municipal leaders andGreen Industry profes-sionals will gather tolearn about the currenttree crisis and celebraterecent successes in refor-esting our region at TheGreat Tree Summitscheduled for 9 a.m. tonoon Saturday, Feb. 13, atThe Cincinnati Zoo’s Pea-cock Pavilion.

Sponsored by TakingRoot, a non-profit organi-zation with the mission toplant 2 million trees – onefor each citizen in the re-gion – by 2020, the eventwill be live tweeted andfeature educational talks,awards and a challenge toinspire action.

Taking Root is a collab-orative partnership in theeight counties of the Tris-tate region to raise aware-ness of the current crisistaking place in tree cano-pies.

With key leaders con-

vening from across thepublic and private sectorto show support for urbanforests, the event will fea-ture talks by:

Mike Hayman: In 1987,after a storm damagedmany of the community'strees, Hayman, a residentand photographer for theLouisville Courier Jour-nal with no real tree expe-rience wound up with theresponsibility to come upwith a plan to replacetrees in Seneca Gardens, asmall city near Louisville.Rather than replace pinoaks with pin oaks and redmaples with red maples,Hayman quickly becameenamored with the idea ofplanting a diversity oftrees. The focus was onlarge over-story trees thatwould live for 100 years ormore, but smaller orna-mental species wereplanted also. The streetsof Seneca Gardens arenow a veritable arbore-

tum and few small townsare the equal for the im-mediate sense of commu-nity and home that one in-stantly feels when theyvisit its canopied neigh-borhoods.

Meredith Cobb: Is orig-inally from St. Louis Mis-souri and moved to Ohio toattend Antioch College,where she received a de-gree in environmental sci-ence and education. Dur-ing her education thereshe worked on a trail crewin Arizona, studied ants inBrazil, led canoe trips inMissouri, and worked atthe Glen Helen Environ-mental Education Centerin Yellow Springs. Cobbcaught the tree bug whileworking with a city arbor-ist in Cape Cod Massachu-setts. She returned toOhio to work for Five Riv-ers MetroParks in 2008where her focus has beenon native plant propaga-tion and restoration.

I almost forgot about Fat Tuesday thisyear. So I’m late in sharing one of my favor-ite recipes for red beans and rice. But youknow what? This is a recipe that’s a keeper,and good anytime. In fact, I make it moreduring Lent than any other time of year.That’s because I can vary it to make it veg-etarian or not.

Like serving it alongside pork tenderlointhat I’ll rub with a bit of Cajun seasoning.Or adding sautéed shrimp right before Iserve it.

Can you help? Mcalister’s chicken anddumpling soup

Tri-County Press reader Christine C. loves thissoup. She said: “It is not available every day, andone of the three area McAlister’s I frequent doesn’teven carry it. I guess it is up to the managerswhich soups they carry. It is basically a thick brothwith chicken and these wonderful, big, flat, doughy“dumplings”. The dumplings are not a biscuit type

dumpling, and the broth has a wonderfulflavor without the heavy celery flavor somebroths have. I would love to be able to havethis whenever I want - not just if I hit McAl-isters on the right day of the week.”

Well, I went to McAlister’s in Kenwoodand darn, they weren’t serving the dumplingsoup. I thought if I could taste it, I may beable to clone it. If you have a similar recipe,please share.

Tip from Rita’s kitchenAvoid sticky fingers when breadingYou’ll have 3 pans of coating: 2 dry and 1 wet.

Pat the food into the dry coating, and then lift themout with a pair of tongs to put into the wet, coatingboth sides well. Then drop into the last dry coatingand pat coating on with your fingers. Nice andclean!

Compassion, yes, butwith safety first

Compassion? Was Judy Altensaying the Syrian refugees arefamilies? Most that I’ve seen inpictures of people fleeing areyoung men maybe 15 to 40 yearsof age.

Sure I suppose some familiesare fleeing war areas, butseems as though one of the SanBernardino terrorist killerswas a woman. And why wouldthese refugees want to comehere rather than stay in the mid-dle eastern area where theywere born and raised?

Properly vetted? Pray tellhow that would be possible and

accurately tell us what theserefugees have in mind oncethey are disbursed around ourcountry.

Let’s do do the right thing forour citizens. There are numer-ous alternative destinations forthese refugees in the MiddleEast. We are hearing Germanyand England and France al-ready saying it was a massivemistake to allow Syrian refu-gees in their countries. So howabout this Judy Alten, we givethem a safe place in the MiddleEast that will allow them to livetheir lives and not possibly beavowed jihadis in the USA.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Feb. 3 questionThere are proposals in the Ohio

legislature to eliminate “pay toplay” fees for school extracurric-ular activities (athletic and non-athletic). Is this a good idea? Whyor why not?

“I would like to see thecharges for extracurricular ac-tivities eliminated. Many of thestudents’ families struggle withthe $200-$500 per student peractivity charges. For those fam-ilies that have multiple familymembers involved in multipleactivities it can be overwhelm-ing. These extra curricular ac-tivities are very important todevelop the whole person andpromote teamwork. Someschools charge football fans foron campus parking. Perhapsthat might be an alternative tooffset these costs. Go Figure!”

T.D.T.

Jan. 27 questionWho will be President of the

United States one year from to-day? Why will he or she havewon?

“Hillary Clinton will be thepresident in a year. Why? First

because she has the experienceand leadership necessary to bethe president. Second becausethe other candidates are drivingthose like me, an independentvoter away. The majority of theother candidates have notshared their plans; instead theyare campaigning on hate, divi-siveness and provide socialmedia sound bites misrepre-senting the truth. Unfortunate-ly, they represent the extremesand as a result get lots of atten-tion, but I am optimistic mostvoters will see through the rhet-oric, hate and lies and will votefor a more moderate candidatelike Hillary Clinton.”

Henry Corbin, of MonroeTownship, was a hero. Hewasn’t a rock star, sports fig-ure, or a reality televisioncelebrity. He was, however, ahero in the traditional sense: aman of great personal couragewho risked his life doing theright thing.

Corbin was born in 1842 andwas educated at the well re-garded Clermont Academy ofNew Richmond. He left histeaching position to become asecond lieutenant in the 79thOhio Infantry during the CivilWar. He transferred to the 14thUnited States Colored Troopsand led his men at the bloodyBattle of Nashville. Corbin leftthe Army at the end of the waras a 23-year-old brevet brig.general. He began studyinglaw in Batavia until he re-entered the Army after per-sonally receiving a commis-sion from Gen. Grant.

On June 20, 1892, Corbinreceived notice that the Moqui(Hopi) Indians had left theirreservation near Tuba City,Arizona, and were threateningviolence. Corbin was orderedto gather a force, proceed toTuba City and quell the dis-turbance. Implicit within theorder was the authorization touse whatever force necessaryto accomplish the mission.

The Moqui incident oc-

curred lessthan twoyears afterthe massacreof more than200 Siouxmen, womenand childrenat WoundedKnee. MostAmericans atthis timeagreed withGen. Philip

Sherridan’s belief that “theonly good Indian is a deadIndian.” Not only would a mas-sacre be seen as justified, butit would have fast trackedCorbin to promotions or jumpstarted a political career.

Corbin tried to talk theMoqui back to the reservation.They refused and threatenedto open fire. It appeared that aconflict was “inevitable.” Cor-bin felt that he had “abundantand good reasons for makingan attack,” but wanted to “ex-haust all efforts” before doingso. He ordered his men tomake a demonstration, a showof force, by riding around thevillage with “bugles blowingand guidons displayed.”

Corbin and several of hismen, all of whom were un-armed, walked up the cattletrail into the village. Theyencountered no opposition

except continued threats toopen fire. At 6-feet-4-inchestalland weighing 250 pounds,Corbin had a commandingpresence. He convinced theMoqui to lay down their armsand arrested their leaders.Summarizing the affair manyyears later, he wrote, “It pos-sessed many conditions thatwould have justified a battleand consequent military glo-ry.”

That he didn’t order a gen-eral attack says much aboutCorbin’s character. Walkingunarmed into an enemy campwas undoubtedly an act ofgreat personal courage. Valu-ing the lives of a despised race,more than personal glory, wasan act of moral courage.

Henry Corbin’s greatestservice came during the Span-ish American War when heserved as the Army’s adjutantgeneral (equivalent to today’schief of staff) and PresidentMcKinley’s personal militaryadviser. Corbin retired in 1906as a lieutenant general, theArmy’s top ranking officer. Hedied in 1909 and was buried inArlington Cemetery.

increase inusage due toaccuracy.New meterscan alert thewater depart-ment imme-diately ofincreasewater usage,as in leaks, aswell as, pro-vide en-

hanced services for custom-ers.

The supplier of the newsystem, HD Supply Water-works, has contracted withUS Bronco Services to do allinstallations. Installers willcarry identification, work in afour-person crew, drive vehi-cles or trucks with the “Cler-mont County” logo displayedso our residents can easilyidentify water meter install-ers.

Several days prior to in-stallation a door hanger willbe placed on your front door

notifying you of the date andestimated time of installation.Further explaining the in-stallation process and factsabout the new equipment andsystem. The installer willattempt to advise customersjust minutes prior to installa-tion. Installation will takeabout 30 minutes in mostcases – you will not haverunning water during in-stallation.

Customers can assist in-stallers by removing anyobstructions to the meter lidand keep pets away from theinstallation area. GoshenTownship has about 3,400customers getting new me-ters. Clermont County WaterDepartment serves morethan 41,000 customers countywide, all of which will begetting a new meter withinthe next two years.

Improvement to public utilities

Rick Combs COMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

The Bipartisan Budget Actof 2015 passed in Novemberbrings big changes to the So-cial Security program in 2016.Specifically, this new law lim-its two Social Security claim-ing strategies that would haveresulted in higher retirementincome for many Americans -“file and suspend” and “re-stricted application.”

Under the “file and sus-pend” strategy, those who havereached Full Retirement Age(FRA) can file for their SocialSecurity benefit, but then im-mediately suspend payment.The purpose of doing so is toallow the worker’s spouse tobegin receiving a spousal bene-fit based on the worker’s work

record, whilethe worker’sbenefit con-tinues to earnDelayed Re-tirement Cred-its. Under theDRC system, aworker candelay receiptof his/her ownbenefits untilup to age 70,during which

time their benefit grows anadditional 8 percent per year.For example, a worker who iseligible to receive $2,200 permonth at age 67 (FRA) canreceive $2,770 per month if hewaits until age 70.

Anyone who has reachedFRA and begins a “file andsuspend” strategy before April30, 2016, can still implementthe “file and suspend” strategyand continue to do so under thegrandfathering provisions ofthe new law. Those of you whowon’t reach FRA before April30 can still file and suspend forthe purpose of accruing DRCs,however your spouse will alsobe forced to suspend any bene-fits tied to your work record.

The other major change isthe elimination of the “restrict-ed application.” This strategyallows a spouse who hasreached FRA to collect a spou-sal benefit based on theirspouse’s work record, rather

than receive payments fromtheir own work record. At age70, the spouse would thenswitch to their own benefit,which would have grown to itsmaximum with DRCs.

With the new rules, when aworker files for Any benefit atFRA, they are “deemed filing,”meaning they will only be paidthe higher of their own benefitor the spousal benefit. Prior tothis new legislation beingpassed, the “deemed filing”concept only applied to thosewho had not yet reached FRA.

For those who will be 62prior to 2016, it remains pos-sible to file a restricted appli-cation for spousal benefits onlyat FRA. This option will phase

out over the next four years, atwhich time filers will no longerhave a choice as to which bene-fit to take. For those who willturn 62 in 2016 or later, theoption to file for spousal bene-fits only will not exist; filerswill automatically be paid thehigher of the spousal benefit ortheir own benefit when theyapply. Social Security remainsa key component of retirementincome, so it’s critical to ana-lyze and compare the remain-ing strategies and adopt thebest possible solution for yoursituation.

MILFORD - At Milford, theBabinec name is synonymouswith the Eagle wrestling pro-gram. Pete, Tyler’s grandfather,is the varsity coach and Jason,his dad, coaches the junior highteam.

However, Tyler, a freshman,isn’t making his name in thewrestling room. He is seeing toit the family name becomes as-sociated with Milford swim-ming.

How did Tyler avoid Mil-ford’s mats?

“My mom was a swimmerand she coached at a coupleplaces,” he said. “She got meinto it when I was younger.”

Milford aquatics coach Kev-in Metzger has to be happy withthis instance of maternal guid-ance. And given the way the sea-son has gone, Tyler likely isn’tcomplaining either.

Off the block, Tyler noticed adifference, atmospherically,between his club team, the Mer-cy HealthPlex Sea Wolves, andhis high school team. That’s notto say he prefers one over theother. Club swimming is stillvery important to him. He con-siders it his backbone.

In a club setting, he usuallyfinishes a race and gets pre-pared for the next thing he hasto do. With Milford, once he fin-ishes a race, he’s congratulatedby a group of his teammates.

It’s just a different situationfor him, but it’s one he’s gottenused to.

“It’s a very close-knit group,”Metzger said. “There’s a hugeteam aspect in high schoolswimming. We’ve tried to buildthat culture. He’s embraced it,the team has accepted him andhe’s grown as a member of theteam. It’s been a good experi-ence for him.”

In Tyler’s words, he said it’snot about racing for himself,he’s trying to score points forthe team to help it win.

He’s done well in a couple ofthe bigger meets this seasonand scored some points alongthe way.

Tyler held his own andplaced seventh in the 50 free-style in the Southwest DistrictClassic among a sea of St. Xavi-er and Moeller swimmers.

In the Eastern CincinnatiConference meet, he touchedthe wall first in the 50 free and100 breaststroke.

“It was really cool winningthose events,” he said. “I was ec-static.”

Last week, he and Metzgerwere finalizing the events he’llswim in sectionals. He’s a versa-tile swimmer, but Tyler is lean-ing toward the 50 free, his favor-ite.

He likes the distance be-cause it’s a race where a swim-mer can go all out. However, hedoes take a more cerebral ap-proach, too.

“A lot of swimmers think it’sa crap-shoot and that not a lot ofthought goes into it,” he said. “Ifeel there is a lot that goes intothe race from start to finish.”

With the postseason loomingthis week, he remains focusedon his goals. He knows it won’tbe easy getting where he wantsto go.

“Any event we put him in,he’s going to do well,” Metzgersaid. “ “He has that kind ofdrive. I see us qualifying forstate.”

Just racing the lanes at C.T.Branin Natatorium would be anexcellent start to a swimmer’scareer. However, Babinec couldbe looking for more.

“It would be great to makethe finals of a race and score formy team,” he said.

MT. WASHINGTON -McNicholas sophomorewrestler Jackson Gear isusually the one in controlwhen he and his opponentbattle for supremacy onthe mat.

According to Gear,who was 24-4 as of lastweek, he hasn’t changedmuch from last year tothis year other than im-prove his strength.

“It’s helped,” Gear saidof bulking up. “But I’vepretty much done thesame things and I justkeep drilling hard in theroom.”

His coach, CraigMoore, knows there ismore to it than that. Hesaid Gear is a fighter onthe mat, but has plenty oftechnique to fall back onas well.

“Jackson has an in-credible season going on,”Moore said. “We really ex-pect him to do a lot thisyear.”

His technique andstrength blended togeth-er during the “King of theHill” matches earlier thismonth. He and teammateThomas Moore, Craig’sson, came away with twowins in their matches.

Both finished the meetas individual “Kings of

the Hill.”“It feels pretty good,”

he said. “It was my firsttime being one (a King ofthe Hill).”

With the postseasonabout a month away, Gearknows what he needs toimprove to make the push.

He said he needs to getbetter when the opponenthas the upper hand in thematch and needs to refinehis take-downs.

The sophomore is alsoa football player for theRockets, which has al-lowed him to draw certainparallels between the two

sports.“Tackling in football

and take-downs in wres-tling are pretty similar,”he said.

He added that he’s got-ten a good start in upgrad-ing those parts of his rep-ertoire.

Gear finished hisfreshman campaign witha 32-16 record and was adistrict qualifier. He, likehis coach, wants to takethe next step.

“I want to qualify forstate,” Gear said. “That’smy goal.”

NEWTOWN - A late run could give theMiami Valley Christian Academy girlsbasketball team a chance to improve onlast year’s 14-win season.

To do that, the Lady Lions will have toget by the winner of Cincinnati Christianand top seed Cedarville in the DivisionIV sectional tournament.

First things first, coach Julie Vilardowould like to avenge an earlier loss inmid-December to Ohio Valley AthleticLeague frontrunner Gamble Montesso-ri. A win over the Lady Gators couldmean at least a shared league title.

Leading Vilardo’s squad this season isjunior Michelle Lee, who last yearteamed up with her sister, Devin. DevinLee has moved on to Capital Universitywhere she plans to walk-on the basket-ball team next season.

Lee, one of four left-handers inMVCA’s lineup, has been hitting roughly18 points and 8 rebounds per game. Soph-omore point guard Maliyah Brooks, sis-ter of former Lion Malique Ward, aver-ages 11 points per game and Dawsyn Vi-lardo is the top rebounder averagingover 9 per game. Dawsyn’s sister, LauraVilardo, leads the team in steals.

Adding depth in the pivot has been asenior who has overcome tremendousadversity to just to make the lay-up line.

“Our surprise this year has been Ni-cole Wellington,” Vilardo said. “The lastgame of her freshman year she tore herACL, then first practice back sophomoreyear re-tore her ACL. She took her junioryear off and came out this year. She’sperformed well.”

The Vilardos, Brooks, Lee and Wel-lington make up the starting lineup, withfreshman Anna Reichard seeing min-utes off the bench. While Julie Vilardojuggles players back and forth betweenthe reserve and varsity this year, four ofthe Lady Lions first five will be backnext season.

“I lose Nicole (Wellington) but I have

Michelle Lee and three sophomoresback,” Vilardo said.

In two seasons, MVCA will move tothe more demanding Miami Valley Con-ference, so building depth is a priority.The Lady Lions have already playedLockland, St. Bernard, Seven Hills, Cin-cinnati Country Day and New Miamifrom the new league. Next season, they’lladd Cincinnati Hills Christian Academyand they could face Cincinnati Christianin this year’s tournament.

Outside of the OVAL, the Lady Lionshave tried to test themselves with gamesagainst current MVC members pluschallenges from Reading of the Cincin-nati Hills League and New Richmond ofthe Southern Buckeye Conference.

“We lost to Cincinnati Country Day,who’s well coached and lost to Reading toopen the season,” Vilardo said. “We’vealso lost three games by three or less.”

After the home date with GambleMontessori Feb. 10, MVCA plays the Cin-cinnati Christian,/Cedarville winnerFeb. 16 at Monroe at 6 p.m.

Howdy folks, It’s time to start pruning the

fruit trees while the sap isdown and also the raspberries.I started to prune my berriesyesterday while the weather isnice.

Years ago I helped JohnPringle’s dad prune fruit trees.His dad was an orchard manand he knew how to craft trees,so John had some excellenttraining. John told me he wassetting more fruit trees. Thetrees that are there now surehave some age on them. If youtake care of them, they willproduce fruit for severalyears.

Years ago, Roscoe Pringlehad the best peaches I everseen and tasted. I would helppick the peaches using a littlebasket. There was a lady help-ing pick and John’s mother wasselling the peaches. Therewere several baskets of peach-es picked and folks came forseveral miles to get the peach-

es. They knewRoscoe Pringlehad some of thebest peachesyou could buy.

The GrantsFarm andGreen Housesare busy get-ting the hang-ing basketsfilled with pot-ting soil and

different kinds of flowers - theseason is here. They have beenplanting pansies so they willhave plenty of flowers forspring. They have to put somenew plastic over some of thegreenhouses. The last time Iwas over there they had toma-to plants four-to-five-inchestall for planting early so theywill have ripe tomatoes in Mayhopefully.

I told about planting radish-es and Parisian carrots in sometrays here in the house. Theradishes are two inches tall

now - I don’t know if they willhave radishes or not but I havesomething green here in thehouse.

The Parisian carrots are upand growing - these carrots areround like a radish. They areso sweet. I have grown themfor a couple years after I atesome of them at Lake Manorby Lake Grant on state Route68. They have them on theirsalad bar.

Last Monday I put the hopsover the raised bed and willcover it with plastic so theground can dry and warm up. Iwill plant onions in this bed assoon as I can. The onion bulbs Ilike are the early variety.

I had a call about planting ina five-gallon bucket. If you useone, put some rocks or chunksof wood in the bottom then putabout seven inches of pottingsoil on top of the filler. You canplant one sweet potato or Pon-tiac potato in the bucket. Whenthe potting soil gets dry, water

the plant. When the potato vinedies, pull the plant up and thetaters will be hanging on thevine. You can take your handsand pull the rest of the tatersout.

The sweet potato vine needsto be pruned so the energy cango to the potato instead of thevine. I have had some of thesweet potatoes weighing 11/2pounds - that is a fine tater.Some fine eating! You cangrow other vegetables in abucket if you don’t have a lot ofspace to garden.

I was talking to Mike at theBoars Head Bait Shop in Afton.He said the crappie are bitinggood. One fishermen caught atwo day limit a big crappie -now there were two of themfishing. They said the crappiewere between 8 and 14 feetdeep.

Sherry’s Lake stocked Feb.4 and is open for fishing onFriday, Saturday and Sunday.The charge for fishing is $17

for three trout. Now you canget your 2016 fishing licensefor the year.
