Members of a newly config-ured Milford City Council sayfinding a new city manager willbe a top priority when they be-gin four-year terms in January.

Building on Milford’s eco-nomic-development effortsand determining whether thecity will take an active role inthe future of the former Mil-ford Main Middle School prop-erty are two more, memberssaid.

“It all starts with the vision,teamwork and leadership ofcity council and the city man-ager,” said incumbent MilfordCity Councilman Ed Brady,who was appointed to council inAugust 2013 and elected Nov. 3.

“I look forward to these op-portunities and I am apprecia-tive of the vote of confidence inthe recent election.”

Brady was the top vote-get-ter, winning 1,017 votes.

“I’ll continue to be thorough,thoughtful, professional andcollaborative and to work hardfor the city and our citizens,”Brady said.

Sandy Russell, one of threenewcomers elected to MilfordCity Council Nov. 3, said she

realizes she has a lot to learn,but welcomes the challenge.

“I look forward to bringing anew perspective,” Russell said.

Ted Haskins, Russell andJustin Bonnell were elected tocity council with 913, 846 and738 votes, respectively.

Candidate Margaret Gi-uffre missed the cut with 670votes.

The vote totals include Cler-mont County ballots and ahandful of ballots cast in asmall portion of Milford that isin Hamilton County.

Russell said communicationwill be key as Milford CityCouncil takes up its tasks, in-cluding:

» Finding a successor to JeffWright, who resigned afterfour years as Milford city man-

ager to become Miami Town-ship administrator Aug. 31.

» Deciding how much to getinvolved with the future of theformer Milford Main MiddleSchool between Main Streetand Lila Avenue.

In February, Milford CityCouncil voted down a hotly con-tested proposed zone changethat would have allowed a de-veloper to build apartments atthe site.

Russell said city councilmembers must do what is bestfor Milford.

“This means making surewe work together as counciland with the residents of Mil-ford,” Russell said.

Milford City Council mem-bers just elected will join May-or Laurie Howland, Vice May-

or Lisa Evans and Councilwom-an Amy Brewer, whose termsrun through December 2017.

Haskins said he is honoredto be a small part of ongoingprogress in Milford.

“I look forward to workingwith my fellow council mem-bers on behalf of the residentsof our great city,” Haskins said.

“As a team, I am confidentwe are up to any challenge andI hope the people of Milfordwill be proud of our actions andour decisions.”

Milford City Council incum-bents Charlene Hinners, JeffLykins and Geoff Pittman didnot seek re-election this year.

MILFORD – A newstate-of-the-art Milford-Miami Township branchlibrary on BuckwheatRoad could open as soonas 2017.

Chris Hamm, chair-person of MilfordSchools’ Business Advi-sory Council, offered theupdate during a report tothe Milford Board ofEducation at its Sept. 17meeting.

The BAC, a commit-tee of business and com-munity leaders, wascharged with evaluatingthe current location ofadministrative officesfor the Milford Exempt-ed Village School Dis-trict. The district’s ad-ministrative officeshave operated from theformer Milford South El-ementary building forthe past 10 years, andthat’s where Milford par-ents register their chil-dren for kindergarten.

However, the MilfordSouth building datesback to 1957. It has nocentral lobby, there’slimited space for profes-sional development, it’snot handicapped accessi-ble, and the aging heat-ing system is inefficientand requires a lot ofmaintenance.

Earlier this year, theClermont County PublicLibrary Board proposeda swap with MilfordSchools in which the li-

brary system would getschool-owned land be-tween Mulberry Ele-mentary and St. Eliza-beth Ann Seton School tobuild a new Milford-Mi-ami Township branch li-brary. In exchange, Mil-ford Schools would getthe current Milford-Mi-ami Township branch li-brary on Ohio 131.

In recommending themove, the BAC cited thecentral location of thecurrent Milford-MiamiTownship branch libraryproperty and its proxim-ity to the district’s juniorhigh and high schools.Committee membersalso said the current Mil-ford-Miami Townshipbranch library is ADA-compliant and there’sroom for larger meet-ings, staff development,

community events andboard meetings. The costto transform the currentlibrary branch into Mil-ford Schools’ adminis-trative offices also is ex-pected to be less than anycosts to renovate the Mil-ford South building.

Renovation of the for-mer library could be fin-ished as early as the sum-mer of 2017 for the poten-tial move of MilfordSchools’ district admin-istrative offices, Hammtold the Milford Board ofEducation.

Theresa L. Herron,communications man-ager for the ClermontCounty Public Library,said the library expectsto move into a new build-ing on Buckwheat Roadin 2017.

“We chose this site be-cause it has many of thefeatures for which welook, including highwayproximity,” said MattSaunders, head of devel-opment for PSP Foods,Freddy’s franchisee. “Wefeel (Union Township) is agreat fit for the family-friendly atmosphere atFreddy’s.”

PSP Foods and man-agement group, RGTManagement Inc. brokeground on the Freddy’s inUnion Township in June,Saunders said. That res-taurant has an Ameliamailing address.

At a recent meeting ofthe Miami TownshipBoard of Trustees in Cler-mont County, Zoning Ad-ministrator Brian Elliff

said he has been in discus-sion with the general con-tractor for a Freddy’s lo-cation there and antici-pates an application for aremodel of the formerBusiness 28 Taco Bell thathas a Milford mailing ad-dress. That Taco Bell willbe vacated when a newlyconstructed Taco Bellopens next door.

The Union TownshipFreddy’s is the 166th suchrestaurant in 23 states.Twenty-four Freddy’s res-taurants are under con-struction in various partsof the U.S., and 15 of thoseare scheduled to open be-fore the end of the year,Saunders said.

World War II veteranFreddy Simon opened thefirst Freddy’s in Wichita,Kansas in the 1950s, ac-cording to the company’swebsite. As it does today,that restaurant offered amenu of comfort foodbuilt around a steakbur-ger.

Members of the General Assem-

a smoke-free Kentucky bill for the

2015 session last week that mirrors

previously failed legislation in 2014.

Denouncing the argument that a

across the Ohio River in Cincinnati

with a smoke-free law, but that the

public smoking was indefensible in

Kentucky given the state’s bad

Kim Kuwatch receivedthe news Monday, Dec. 17,2012.

“They called me andsaid ‘Yes, it’s breast can-cer.’ Of course, I fellapart,” Kuwatch said.

The call came from her

primary care physicianwhile she was at work. Hehad called her Goshenhome first, and spoke withher husband, Mike. Mikeknew as soon as he an-swered the call. He toldthe doctor to call Kimright away. It was about3:30 in the afternoon. Shehad been waiting for the

call all day. Kuwatchbroke down and cried.

“When you get thatnews, it’s hard,” she said.

Kuwatch did not knowanyone who had breastcancer. She felt alone.Things happened prettyquickly for her. After re-ceiving the call from herdoctor Monday afternoon,

she called the surgeon herecommended. The sur-geon met with her onWednesday, Dec. 19. Itwas all new. The surgeonexplained options slowly,clearly, in no rush and or-dered an MRI.

“Nothing happens atChristmas time,” Ku-watch said. “My surgerywas scheduled for Jan. 7. Iwent in for the lumpecto-my.”

During surgery theyremoved the tumor andfive lymph nodes fromKuwatch. None of themshowed cancer. That de-termines the course oftreatment to follow. Tis-sue was sent off to the labto determine future risk.A rating for reccurrenceis determined based fromtissues, age, biopsy re-sults and everything to-gether. Her rating was 12,they recommend chemo-therapy above 19. She had30 radiation visits; everymorning at 7:20 Mondaythru Friday at JewishHospital for six weeks in arow. Her last day wasGood Friday 2013.

“I said that was goodFriday,” Kuwatch said.“On the way, I stopped atBusken Bakery and got awhole box of smiley facecookies and took them intoall the staff at the radia-tion department. That’sthe way I celebrated.”

In June, just a couplemonths later, Kuwatchmet another breast can-

cer survivor at a 5K run.The young woman survi-vor asked her if she heardof Pink Ribbon Girls. It isan organization “createdby women with breastcancer to support and em-power other women tocourageously fight andsurvive breast cancer. Itis women who havewalked the walk andtalked the talk getting to-gether to share their sto-ry.

“It was a release Ididn’t know I needed untilI found it,” she said.“That’s why I give back tothe Pink Ribbon Girls. Noone travels this roadalone.”

Kuwatch has been avery active volunteerwith the organizationsince she found them. JanMiddleton is one of the di-rectors for Pink RibbonGirls and a breast cancersurvivor. She said the non-profit organization isgrowing very rapidly, hasfew employees, and reliesheavily on volunteers likeKim to help with all theirevents throughout theyear.

“Kim is the first to signup, she is the first to showup and the last to leave af-ter clean up,” Middletonsaid. “Her passion for ourmission is obvious whenyou hear her talk to othersabout Pink Ribbon Girls.”

Kuwatch frequentlyreaches out to women whohave been newly diag-nosed. She invites them tofuture PRG events, or thenext meeting and shares

information with them onhow to receive their freeservices like meals orhousecleaning. Hardly aweek passes when Ku-watch is not traveling to aPRG event, handing outinformation, and offeringsupport to others in need.

“She is awesome,” Mid-dleton said. “I love thequote ‘There’s nothingstronger than the heart ofa volunteer.’ and thisquote is Kim.”

Kuwatch recently cele-brated her 57th birthday -third year as a survivor -by setting a goal to do 57random acts of kindness.As she neared her goal,she drove through a drive-thru for a cold drink, andgave the attendantenough money to pay forthe next customer. Thecustomer honked andwaved. She said it justmakes her feel good to payit forward.

“It is beautiful to see asurvivor come throughtreatment and then decidethat they want to pay for-ward the kindness thatwas shown to them whenthey needed extra sup-port,” Middleton said. “Weare so happy that Kim ishealthy and thriving andthat she has chosen to payit forward by being a vol-unteer with Pink RibbonGirls.”

Marr/Cookbegan Project MORE, areading intervention pro-gram, five years ago as apilot with just eight stu-dents and a handful of vol-unteers. Over the courseof five years, the programhas quickly grown to 46students receiving one-on-one tutoring frommore than 60 volunteers.K-2 students attend 30-minute tutoring sessionsthree or four times aweek. Volunteers work onletter naming, sightwords, fluency and com-prehension skills with thestudents.

Community members,college students, mem-bers of a local church, re-tired teachers, as well as,high school and middleschool students spentmore than 2,000 hoursworking on early literacyskills with students lastyear. Goshen High Schoolstudents must have 12hours of community ser-vice work in order tograduate. Serving as aProject MORE tutor is aneasy and fun way for themto accumulate hours.

In addition to the stu-dent tutors and communi-ty volunteers, Marr/CookElementary has formed apartnership with LiveOaks Vocational school’searly childhood program.

Live Oaks seniors havebeen working with Go-shen students since theprogram’s inception fiveyears ago. Project MOREgives them an opportunityto work with school agechildren, which is a curri-culum requirement. Theprogram is beneficial tothe younger and older stu-dents, alike.

The success of this pro-gram is contributed to thehard work and dedicationof teachers, as well as thevolunteers who have giv-en up countless hours oftheir time to help the chil-dren of Goshen becomesuccessful readers. Marr/Cook Elementary is dedi-cated to ensuring that ev-ery student has a chance

to succeed. McCormickElementary School

» McCormick Elemen-tary is hosting the area’sfirst robotics tournamentSaturday,Nov. 14, startingat 9 a.m. The school hasformed a team, Turtle-Bots, that will completewith 11 others.

The tournament bringsteams from acrossthearea, including Blanches-ter, Mason and Ross.

The team also had toresearch a recycling pro-ject and found that Styro-foam is not recycled byRumpke, and goes to thelandfill, yet has manyuses as a recycled prod-uct. They experimentedwith adding it to concrete

as a filler. TurtleBots was formed

by Don Lykins in April toinspire children to be sci-ence and technology lead-ers.

“I hope to engage chil-dren in more STEM (sci-ence, technology, engi-neering and mathemat-ics) enrichment,” Lykinssaid.

TurtleBots learnedhow to program, controlservo motors and designsensor applications tosteer their robots.

The team presented itsresearch project to theBoard of Education in Oc-tober.

MILFORD — Starting in the 2016-2017school year, lacrosse will be a schoolsponsored varsity sport in the MilfordExempted Village School District.

The Milford Board of Education, cit-ing community interest and the OhioHigh School Athletic Association’s re-cent decision to sponsor lacrosse as astate sanctioned sport next year, unani-mously agreed Sept. 17 to elevate la-crosse from a club to a school-sponsoredvarsity sport.

Supporters say the change will re-duce costs for Milford lacrosse playersand should increase participation. Cur-rently, Milford’s junior varsity and var-sity lacrosse players pay the highest par-ticipation fees in the Eastern CincinnatiConference, or $450 per athlete eachyear.

“We’ve had a lot of parents say, ‘Welove the sport. We’d love for our kids toplay. But we’re building up to pay $450 (ayear) in high school?” said Stu Brown,who is involved in the Milford LacrosseFoundation and whose two young chil-dren play the sport. “Some of them havemultiple kids and that’s a lot of money.”

Although equipment costs would staythe same, by lacrosse becoming a schoolsponsored varsity sport, participationfees would be much lower, said Mark

Trout, director of athletics and activitiesfor Milford Schools. The school district’sfee structure charges an athlete $175 ayear for his or her first sport. The fee fora second sport is $85, and there’s no an-nual fee for participation in a third sport.

To help with the transition, the school

board approved several changes for theboys and girls school sponsored club la-crosse teams during the current schoolyear.

Starting this spring, there will be nofee for the use of the turf field for varsityand junior varsity lacrosse games, aswell as no fee for the use of the turf fieldfrom the hours of 2:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.Monday-Friday. Turf fees for lacrosseteam night practices also will be reducedby $20 per hour if they choose to practicefrom 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The schoolboard also will continue to make grassfields available to grades nine-12 la-crosse teams at no charge, and the schooldistrict will buy netting during the 2015-2016 season so that spring sports teamscan use the track at the same time theturf field is being used.

“This year, the lacrosse club is still un-der the club designation,” Trout said.“However, the board reduced some ofthe turf rental fees and gave them someoptions so that (the lacrosse club) couldpass that savings onto its families andmembers.”

Trout said he and Brian Cross, whocoaches Milford High School’s boys’ la-crosse club, have discussed when andhow lacrosse should become a schoolsponsored varsity sport for years and re-cently realized the time was right to doso. During the past three months, repre-sentatives of the Milford Lacrosse Foun-

dation and lacrosse players have attend-ed meetings of the school board’s athlet-ic subcommittee, as well as school boardmeetings, to discuss the possibility ofmaking lacrosse a varsity sport.

“We positioned ourselves well, andthe time has come,” Trout said. “We thinkit’s going to be a great thing, not only forthe kids and the coaches, but also for theathletic department, the school systemand the community.”

Milford School Board Member DavidYockey said the growth Milford’s la-crosse program has seen in the past dec-ade mirrors what happened with soccerin the late 70s as its popularity grew.

“We’re estimating we’ll have about 80(lacrosse) participants, 40 boys and 40girls, once it’s a sanctioned sport,” Troutsaid. “We’re anticipating the number ofparticipants will go up.”

Kemper Ackermann, a Milford HighSchool senior and a starting member ofthe lacrosse club team, told the schoolboard that lacrosse is the fastest grow-ing high school sport in the nation, and henoted there are more than 240 Milford la-crosse players in kindergarten throughgrade 8. Making lacrosse a school spon-sored varsity sport will make it more af-fordable, increase involvement and pre-vent potential high school lacrosse play-ers from leaving the district to play else-where, he said.

NOVEMBER 11, 2015 • CJN-MMA • 7ANEWS

What’s a brookie? If you’re likemost folks, you’d say you don’t havea clue. So you read it here first: acombo of a cookie and brownie.

I was hooked after tasting one atthe Empty Bowl Soup Event for KidsCafé last week with friend and col-league, Chef Deb Goulding. When Iinquired about the brookies, ChefJudy Walsh, educator at the Interna-tional Culinary School at the ArtInstitute of Cincinnati, told me herstudents made them.

I liked them so much that I wanted to sharea recipe with you. Now this one is a “speedscratch,” from a box mix and refrigerated

cookie dough. I don’t have room here formy recipe which is all from scratch, but ifyou want that, check out my abouteating.com website.

Tip from Rita’ s kitchenAdd defatted drippings from roasted

turkey to the gravy on Thanksgiving Day.

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist,educator, Jungle Jim’s Eastgate culinaryprofessional and author. Find her blog on-line at Abouteating.com. Email her at

[email protected] with “Rita’skitchen” in the subject line.

Brookies

No real recipe, but here’s how I did it:

1 box brownie mix - I used milk chocolate, but use your favorite1 pack refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough

To make cupcake shaped brookies:I made the brownie mix according to package directions for cake like

brownies and poured it about 2/3 of the way up into muffin tins which werelined with paper liners. This is important; otherwise they stick terribly,whether your recipe is from a box mix or from scratch. I rolled a scant table-spoon of cookie dough into a ball, then flattened it out and smooshed itdown just a tiny bit on top of the batter. After baking at 350 for 25 minutesthey were done. A toothpick inserted in the center came out pretty clean.

What happens is the brookie has a cookie top with a brownie bottom.It made 12 brookies.

To bake in pan like brownies:Follow directions on brownie box and lay flattened cookie dough in

rows on top.

My best make-ahead gravy for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving will be here before you know it. To take some stress outof making the feast, each week I’ll share a make-ahead recipe so you won’tbe chained to the stove on Turkey Day.

I add onion peels into this stock for nutrients and color. This is adaptedfrom one I clipped from a magazine years ago, and it really works.

6 turkey wings1 very large or 2 medium yellow onions (not sweet), quartered 1 cup water8 cups good quality low sodium or salt free chicken broth, divided1 nice carrot, chopped - leave peel on1 rib celery, chopped1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or 2 teaspoons fresh Handful fresh parsley (opt)3/4 cup flour2 tablespoons butter or fat from stockSalt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put wings in single layer in sprayedroasting pan. Scatter onions over top. Roast for an hour or so - wings will benicely browned.

Place wings, onions and peels if using in a pot. Add water to roastingpan and stir, scraping up any brown bits. Add to pot. Stir in 6 cups broth,carrot, celery, parsley and thyme. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer andcook uncovered about 1-1/2 hours.

Remove wings and pull off skin and meat. Discard skin and save meatfor another use. Strain stock into pot. Press on veggies to extract remainingliquid. Discard veggies and skim fat off. If you want, this is easier done if yourefrigerate the stock. Fat will congeal to top, making it easy to remove. (Ifyou do it this way, you can save 2 tablespoons of fat and replace the buttercalled for in step 5 with the fat).

Now bring this to a gentle boil.Whisk flour into remaining 2 cups chicken broth until smooth. Gradu-

ally whisk into simmering broth; simmer until gravy thickens. Stir in savedfat or butter and season to taste.

Refrigerate up to a week or freeze up to 2 months.

A publication of

Nov. 4 questionWhy did you go the polls Nov. 3,

or why did you stay home? Whatwere the most important issuesand races in your community?

“I will go to the polls Nov. 3.However if Issue 3 passes it couldbe the last election I vote in be-cause I will then have a reason forbecoming even more lazy and ap-athetic. To that point I think Issue3 is a very important one. There isthe approval or rejection of legal-ization of marijuana. Then thereis the provision of having that ap-proval actually written into thestate constitution, which makes itsomething that would be veryvery difficult and costly to everoverturn.

Oct. 28 questionShould college education be

free? Why or why not?

“When are people going torealize that nothing is ‘free?’Maybe colleges should stop rais-ing tuition to make their institu-tion look more prestigious thanother institutions strictly becausethe cost more.”

Christopher W. Bryan

“College education should notbe free. America cannot afford it;there are already too many enti-tlement programs. Beyond that,the inclination bystudents not tofeel such a responsibility to applythemselves is likely because theywill not have any skin in the game.Many college students alreadyfail to graduate for a variety ofreasons, possibly because theclasswork demands are too much,possibly because they haven’tbeen seriously invested in theprivilege; it could be any numberof things.

“Whatever the reason, Ameri-ca does not need to clog up its in-stitutions of higher educationswith an influx of more studentssimply because it’s a free ride foryoung people who may or may nothave respect for the opportunityand who may just want to put offthe responsibilities of supportingthemselves for a bit longer.”

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers [email protected] withCh@troom in the subject line.

The latest researchshows youth sports partici-pation has increased dra-matically across the coun-try in recent years. As aresult, we are seeing anincrease of sports injury inthis population. The follow-ing Q&A looks at the risksassociated with sports spe-cialization and how to help ayoung athlete find the prop-er balance.

What is sports special-ization?

Sports specialization iswhen an athlete choosesyear round training in asingle sport (greater thaneight months per year) andparticipates in only that onesport. This usually involvesintense training at the ex-pense of other sports. Sportspecialization prior to lateadolescence may be detri-mental.

Why is there an increasein specialization?

Our society holds suc-cessful athletes in highregard. Successful andpopular professional ath-letes are paid a lot of moneyand get a lot attention andstatus. Children, familiesand coaches are well mean-ing and believe that focus-ing effort early in one areaand on one sport is neces-sary to achieve elite statusin the child’s sport.

The facts are that only asmall percentage of youngathletes play their sport incollege and less than 0.5

percent ofyoung ath-letes playprofession-al sports.Of the ath-letes thatmake it toelite status,most ofthem spe-cializedlater in

adolescence.What are the risks?Children who specialize

in one sport, participating infrequent, intense trainingare at risk for overuse in-juries. An overuse injuryoccurs with micro-traumato a tendon, bone or muscleafter long term repetition ofa specific sport activitysuch as pitching a baseball,tennis serving, or swim-ming shoulder motion.

Psychological stress andquitting a sport early due tofatigue or injury are otherproblems associated withearly sport specialization.Well-meaning coaches andparents may put youngathletes at risk for injury byencouraging increasedintensity in organized prac-tices and competition. Chil-dren need a mental andphysical break from onesport.

What is recommended?According to the Amer-

ican Academy of Pediatricsguidelines, it is recommendchildren take a two- to

three-month break from aspecific sport per year.During the sports season, achild should have one to twodays off from scheduledactivity per week. In ourworld of weekend tourna-ments, two-a-days, andyear-round-sport, it is easyto forget that kids need freeplay.

While being part of ateam has its benefits, it’salso important for them tosometimes grab a ball andgo outside and play. Chil-dren need time to be cre-ative on their own withoutan adult hovering overthem.

What advice do youhave for parents?

Strive to create an envi-ronment where kids canjust go out and play. Encour-age coaches and other fam-ilies to keep sport in per-spective because your chil-dren learn from you and theadults around them.

Nothing special aboutsingle-sport focus

Falling is a serious healthrisk among older adults. Infact, in Hamilton Countyfalls are the leading causeof hospitalizations, emer-gency room visits anddeaths in individuals overage 65, and one out of threepersons aged 65 and olderfalls annually.

Nationally, these types ofemergency room visits andhospitalizations result in$30 billion a year beingspent treating older adultsfor the effects of falls.

Not only are falls expen-sive to treat, but the painand injury they cause keepsolder adults from maintain-ing an active and healthylifestyle. This can result ina drastic loss of independ-ence.

According to the Hamil-ton County General HealthDepartment, 48 percent offalls occur in the home. Ofthose, approximately oneout of three home falls aredue to environmental is-sues. What this means isthat many, many of the fallsthat happen within thehome can be avoided if thehome environment is se-cured, and in some casesmodified, for fall preven-tion.

So what can be done toreduce the likelihood offalls? An easy way to beginis to look at some of the

most com-mon loca-tions forfalls, likedoorways,clutteredhallways,areas withheavy traf-fic, stairsand bath-rooms.Simple

steps to prevent in-homefalls include removingthrow rugs or ensuringfloor coverings are securedwith a non-skid backing. It’salso important to secureelectrical and phone cordsout of walkways, and toremove tripping hazardslike paper, boxes, toys andclothes from stairs andwalkways.

Staircases are one of themost common areas forfalls, and should be lookedat carefully to ensure safetyand security. At WholeHome Modifications, ourexperts recommend in-stalling railings on bothsides of staircases, bothinside and outside of thehome. Our experts alsorecommend installing addi-tional lighting at the top andbottom of staircases.

Another common prob-lem area is the bathroom.From slippery tub bottomsto slick tile floors and high

barrier shower/tub combi-nations, the bathroom is anarea where families are themost vulnerable. Fortunate-ly, bathroom safety prod-ucts are now available inhigh-end finishes and beau-tiful designs, so you don’tneed to choose between asafe, secure bathroom and abeautiful bathroom. A fewideas include installing awalk-in/roll-in shower stalldesign with inconspicuousgrab bars, and choosingtoilet paper holders andtowel racks that serve asadditional support.

The important thing toremember is that fallingdoes not have to be a part ofgetting older. There areeasy steps that can be takento prevent falls, and tomake your home a safeplace so that you can main-tain the healthy, active life-style you enjoy.

If you’re not sure whereto start, consider callingWhole Home Modificationsat 482-5100 for an in-homeconsultation with an expert.We will conduct a detailedFall Prevention assessment,and can guide you in thebest direction to ensuresafety and prevent falls.

Winter is right around thecorner, and with it comes colderweather and higher heating bills.October is National Weather-ization Month, so now is the timeto begin preparing homes inorder to conserve energy andsave money.

At People Working Coopera-tively we’ve been providingservices to the low-income, el-derly and disabled citizens ofGreater Cincinnati for 40 yearsto help keep their homes warmand their bills low, and we’ve puttogether a few easy tips forhomeowners to prepare theirhome this season.

Step one of preparing a homefor winter is checking the win-dows and doors. These are twoof the areas it is easiest for heatto escape and cold air to enter ahome. Begin outside, checkingthe seal between windows andsiding. Homeowners may needto strip away layers of old paintand caulking before re-caulkingto ensure a tight seal.

After sealing the outside,homeowners should move insideand check the weather strippingon their windows. If the weatherstripping looks worn down itshould be replaced. Just sealingwindows could save 15 percentoff energy bills this winter.

Installing a programmablethermostat is another great wayfor homeowners to save moneyon their energy bill. For everydegree a thermostat is set backover an eight-hour period, home-owners can save as much as onepercent on their energy bill eachmonth. It’s easy to program thethermostat to turn the heat downat night while everyone is sleep-ing and during the day while thehouse is empty, but begin towarm it back up when the familywill be up and around the house.

Checking the furnace early -

before it getsreally cold - is agood rule ofthumb. Wakingup on the firsttruly cold day ofthe season todiscover thefurnace isn’tworking is asituation home-owners want toavoid. Call in a

professional to evaluate thefurnace and provide any tune-upnecessary. Annual maintenancekeeps furnaces running safelyand efficiently and avoids largerproblems down the line.

Another easy maintenance tipis to change your air filter. Fil-ters should be changed everyfew months, and it’s a good ideato change it out before the fur-nace gets heavy use. The newfilter helps with efficiency,keeps air clean, and helps tokeep the family healthy.

It’s also important to cleangutters twice a year to makesure they are working properly.Now that leaves have startedfalling, it’s a good idea for home-owners to check their gutters fordebris including animal nests,branches, leaves, and anythingelse that may have landed on theroof. Homeowners should alsoensure that their downspout ispointed away from the house toavoid erosion to the foundationbecause of run-off.

Taking the time to weatherizecould mean significant savingson energy bills this winter. Weencourage homeowners to evalu-ate their energy use and takesome of these steps to ensuretheir homes stay warm and effi-cient this winter.

OWENSVILLE – Before theseason, Clermont Northeast-ern coach Scott Gildea wasn’tsure of how long it’d beensince the Rockets have en-joyed a winning season, but hedid know they were going toride running back Dalton Mir-acle as much as they could.

The senior lugged the pig-skin 167 times for 1308 yardsand nine touchdowns for CNE(0-10). No other player hadmore than 33 carries.

“He had a great season,”Gildea said. “He exceeded thegoals we talked about beforethe season began. That’s aproud moment for any coach.”

Miracle would have hadmore except that injury limit-ed him against Goshen (onecarry) and he had only six car-ries in another contest beforehe rolled his ankle.

The breakout game cameagainst Miami Valley Chris-tian Academy. He set theschool’s single-game rushingrecord with 358 yards on 30carries. He also scored threetimes in that game.

Gildea believes Miraclehas plenty of football left andis trying to get him to playsomewhere at the next level.

“He has other ideas. I’mtrying to talk him into it,” thecoach said. “We are going tomiss him. He’s a good kid.”

NEWTOWN - It was nosurprise that someonenamed Vilardo wouldmake school history in therelatively young exis-tence of the athletic pro-gram at Miami ValleyChristian Academy.

The athletic directorand football coach is Rob-ert Vilardo, who has di-rected the MVCA Lionsgridiron group to the Divi-sion VII playoffs twoyears running. Two sonshave played for him, in-cluding quarterbackBransen Vilardo this sea-son and older brother, Ma-son.

Julie Vilardo coachesthe MVCA girls basket-ball team, which featuressophomore sisters Daw-syn and Laura Vilardo.Both girls also played onthe volleyball team thatmade the district tourna-ment.

Laura is considerablysmaller than Dawsyn andher contributions on anathletic floor don’t standout as much as others withraw athleticism.

That is, until you seeher run in the great out-doors.

Facing older competi-tion since enteringMVCA, she’s the prover-bial “Energizer Bunny”with a full tank. One mightsuspect she was kin to theAlabama Gumps, but sheis the adopted daughter ofthe Vilardos by way of Ka-zakhstan.

She is fluent in Englishand endurance, havinglearned the language insix months after movingin with the Vilardos at age8 in 2007. The family alsohad an adopted youngerson, Logan.

At the Division III dis-trict meet at Voice ofAmerica Park in WestChester, the MVCA girlswere second behind Sum-mit Country Day thanks toVilardo winning the dis-trict championship in20:23.6.

“I was feeling prettystrong at districts,” Vilar-do said. “I knew that at re-gionals it would be hardercompetition with biggerschools.”

A week later in Troy atthe regional meet, wherethe top 16 individuals ad-vance, Vilardo got in at16th, though improvingher time to 20:12.6.

“We had run at XeniaChristian before (on the

course) so that allowedme to know who to stickwith during the race,” Vi-lardo said. “My coach(Steve Krebsfanger) toldme what place I was in atdifferent points and thatreally helped.”

Along with here team-mates cheering for her,Vilardo felt a presenceshe has become acquaint-ed with during her educa-tion at the private schoolin Newtown.

“A lot of it is mental,”she said. “Before I had ranI had prayed to God toqualify as last year I got20th. Toward the end ofthe race, I was told I wasfour spots away. I wasable to push myselfthrough it and I know itwasn’t me.”

That set her up for the

National Trail RacewayNov. 7. A day after herfamily would take in theMVCA Lions playoffgame at Fort Recovery,the entourage would headoutside of Columbus inthe family Expedition towatch Laura make moreschool history.

On the demandingcourse, she finished 94thof 143 of Ohio’s finest in20:58.7. The upside is shehas two more seasons toreturn.

Next up for the effer-vescent sophomore isfewer laps, but reps upand down the hardwood.On or off the court, LauraVilardo offers non-stopenergy and a perpetualsmile.

The motor never stopsrunning.

This year, the War-riors finished 7-3 andhad seven players re-ceive recognition fromthe conference, includ-ing four first-teamers.

“It’s very disappoint-ing because we had threechances to get it done,and you want the kids tohave that (playoff) expe-rience,” coach RyanGeorge said. “We almostbacked in there.

“As for the turn-around, it says a lot aboutthe kids buying into theprogram with all the newstrength and condition-ing we installed this sea-son.”

In some cases,George said the lossesstemmed from mentalmistakes because hisolder players hadn’tplayed in many mean-ingful games duringtheir careers.

Going forward, hehopes his players nowsee the importance ofmaking sure they arementally ready for everygame they play.

Mental lapses aside,Goshen still did plenty ofgood things that Georgehopes will grow the pro-gram in the future. Sen-iors like Logan Brand,Brody Brewer, IsaacHart, Trey Atwood andBrandon Milcherthelped set the bar.

“I’m proud of the sen-iors,” the coach said.“They’ve built a tremen-dous foundation. Theyunderstood what wewere trying to do withthe weight training, andwhile they are probablydone playing football,they’ll still be good forthe program. They’ll begood salesmen. I hate tosee them leave but theyhave to graduate. I’mlooking forward to nextyear and doing all thethings to get that groupready.”

Howdy folks,I’m writing this article

on Monday; the next day,Tuesday, is election and Iwork the voting precinctin Bethel at the communi-ty building.

I went down to LowerPrice Hill with folks fromthe Bethel MethodistChurch on Wednesdayevening, Oct. 28. Theyalways take five bags ofclothing from the freestore in Bethel. The folksdown there sure like theclothes. We fed probably96 people. One lady saidto me, “If you weren’there I would not have hadanything to eat.” I am sothankful for my homeand something to eat.

Saturday morning theBethel Lions Club heldtheir first pancake break-fast of the fall. It wasgood with a nice crowd.To me this is a wonderfulthing for the Bethel LionsClub to have. The moneygoes to help people indistress and the schooltiger pack. If you haveany used eyeglasses, givethem to a lion club mem-ber. They will be recy-cled and given to thefolks in third world coun-tries. These folks sureneed them. Their moneyis in short supply.

The Kitchen of Hopeat the Methodist Churchhere in Bethel had about130 people that ate thereSaturday. The Kitchen ofHope started at 11 a.m. tonoon.

Then the folks weregetting the Holy Houseset up. The Holy Housewas a big success, therewere about 1,400 peoplethat went through andenjoyed it very much.After they went throughthey came into the areawhere there was popcorn,cookies, drinks, literature

on thechurch andabout whatthe Lordcan do foryou. This isalways ablessingfor every-body thattakes partin the HolyHouse.

Some of the folks poppedpopcorn the day beforethe event. They popsomething like 2,000 bagsof corn. There was onecat and some dogs thatcame through also.

I will have a specialevent on Monday eveningat the St. Mary’s Parish inBethel. They have a me-morial service for thefolks that have passedaway. This is somethingthe church does eachyear so this year I havebeen invited and mydaughter Pauline is goingwith me. This will be sospecial. I sure miss mygal, she was so special.We did everything to-gether. When we walkedwe would hold hands sowhen I walk with Debby Ihold her hand, both of mygirls are special. I havefour beautiful grand-children and three beau-tiful great-grandchildren.Debby has been takingBrooklyn to the YMCA tolearn to swim - she isdoing good.

The Grants Green-houses are busy. The oneon state Route 131 arestill picking ripe toma-toes. Danny said he ishaving fried green toma-toes for supper. He isbuilding a new office andgreenhouse. The gardenstore in Milford haveplenty of the little trac-tors in that store. Theyhave Christmas trees that

are ready to set in theground.

Mr. Chester is hisusual self. He likes tohave his breakfast firstthen come set on my lapand he likes the Boostdrink so I give him somein the lid. When the bottleis empty he jumps downand goes back to his food.He likes to stay outsideeach night then come inabout midnight. He hasgot me trained to get upabout that time. Thecoyotes have been hol-lering each night over inthe park.

The harvest season ismoving along. The beansare about done and thefolks that have the cornon the neighbors farmstarted harvesting ittoday. The yield the folkstell me is around 100bushel per acre.

I was told a bobcat waskilled on state Route 50 acouple weeks ago. Theyhave been in the woodsby me a few times. Wedon’t know what is in thewoods at night!

Hope all of you voted.Visit the Shepherd

House in Bethel and vol-unteer to help the chil-dren. The ShepherdHouse is a blessing - theyare having about 44 stu-dents each day from 2:30p.m. to 6 p.m.

Start your week bygoing to the house ofworship of your choiceand praising the goodLord.

ior studying horticul-ture, has the desire topromote sustainablepractices, like IPM andgreen roof technology.

“I understand thegreat need for respon-sible stewardship ofsoil and plant materi-al,” she said.

Fran Johnson en-joyed a long, produc-tive career with theJohn Henry Co., a hor-ticultural printingfirm in Michigan.Johnson also made

Fromfarrowing in February tobeing knocked down bythe same pigs in July, toover 200 pounds fullgrown in August,” Kelleysaid. In his first experi-ence raising a hog, Pat-rick also faced some chal-lenges along the way andwas appreciative of theamount of support he re-ceived.

“Seeing everyonework together leading upto the fair and preparingthe grounds ahead of fairweek was a wonderful ex-perience.”

Patrick attends OhioUniversity as a student inits College of Business.After graduation, he plansto pursue a career in salesand marketing and en-joyed his 4-H experienceso much that he plans toshow a hog at next year’sfair.

Cincinnati EastsideRotary past-PresidentDaren Donohoo led the ef-fort to purchase Patrick’shog, while fellow Rotari-ans Mary Eisnaugle andGail Koford led the distri-bution. Receiving meatdonations from Cincin-nati Eastside Rotary wereInter Parish Ministry,YWCA, and the JamesSauls Homeless Shelter.

UC Clermont College brokethe Guinness Book of Recordsfor the highest voltage potatobattery.

More than 100 students, fac-ulty and staff along with stu-dents from Sandy Ruschell’sReading High School class,came out to help set a new pota-to battery world record of 1,380volts.

“Every year in my physicsclass, I set up a battery usingcopper wire, zinc nails and afruit. I usually use lemons andlight up a small LED. However,lemons are a bit pricey, so Idecided last year to try potatoessince they are cheaper,” asso-ciate professor of physics NickAbel said.

“When I was investigatingonline what I can power with apotato battery, I found thatthere is a Guinness World Rec-ord for most voltage from apotato battery (1,224 volts). Iimmediately talked to Cliff Lar-rabee, professor of chemistry,and told him about the recordand we both thought this wassomething we could break. Iusually like to joke that I willnever get into Guinness Bookfor being fast, strong or rich,but building a battery...I can dothat,” he said.
