Efforts are under way to rein-state the Christmas Parade inAmelia, which the village govern-ment canceled because of a con-troversy over changing the nameto “A Holiday Parade.”

The new effort was launchedby a group of village volunteersnot connected to village govern-ment.

“Village residents are workingtogether to make this a villagefunction,” said Michelle Balside, avillage resident. “The village resi-

dents want thereto be a ChristmasParade. Thoseare the voices weheard. They aregiving us themoney, time andresources tomake it happen.”

The villageresidents voted to keep Amelia avillage in May, she said. “Nowthey want the Christmas Parade tohappen.”

Balside said she is one of manyresidents working on this effort.

The event would be called a

Christmas Parade and would beheld Dec. 13, as originallyplanned, said Todd Hart, anotherresident helping with the effort.

Hart said a group of volunteersmet Saturday, Nov. 7. Theyapplied for insurance for theparade, but will not know for sureuntil Wednesday, Nov. 11, if theapplication will be accepted. Oncethey have the insurance, they willapply for a permit from the village.

The volunteer committee istalking to the Clermont CountySheriff’s Office and Ohio StateHighway Patrol about traffic con-trol, Hart said.

The parade had been spon-sored for the past few years by theAmelia Business Association, butthat group decided not to run itthis year.

The village decided to host theparade, but because of concernsover separation of church andstate issues changed the name to“A Holiday Parade.”

That decision resulted inthreats of boycotts and demon-strations, and the decision of oneAmelia church to deny use of itsparking lot to stage the parade.Because of the controversy, thevillage canceled the parade.

2 percentmargin close,but enoughBy Kellie [email protected]

While the margin was slim, thevoters in Union Township decidedto support the Union TownshipPolice and Fire departments.

The township’s 2.95-mill safe-ty services levy passed by abouttwo percent. There were 5,789votes for the levy and 5,517 votesagainst the levy. These numbershave not been certified.

The levy will generate about$3 million in funding for the policeand fire departments to share. Ifthe levy had failed, the depart-ments would have been looking ata combined 30 layoffs.

“We’re very pleased with theresults of the levy. We still have tostay within our means, but it’s asignal to me that the public ispleased with the job we aredoing,” Police Chief Terry Zinsersaid.

Fire Chief Stan Deimling couldnot be reached for comment thenight of the election because hejoined crews from the fire stationas they responded to a kitchen firein the Summerside area. When heleft, about 60 percent of theprecincts had reported.

When he returned to the poll-watching party, he wasn’t surewhat the result would be.

“When I got back, there were afew police officers standing in thedoorway on their phones and Iwas trying to read their faces, but

they didn’t have the results yeteither,” Deimling said. The Inter-net at that location went downbefore all the numbers came in.Deimling said someone got a calllater saying the levy had passed.

“There was a lot of nervousenergy going around ... I thinkeveryone knew it was going to beclose, we just didn’t know whichside would tip the scale,” Deimlingsaid. “We’re very pleased that theresidents of the township continueto support safety services and thatthey understood how importantthis levy was.”

Trustee Bob McGee said he wasrelieved that the Union Townshipresidents were willing to supportthe township’s police and firedepartments.

“We needed the extra funding... Or we would have seen enor-mous cuts in our fire department,police department and communi-cations center, all of which weneed desperately,” McGee said. “Ithink the people, overall, said thatwe need these services. They sawthe writing on the walls, just as allof (the trustees) have.”

The money this continuouslevy will generate will only beused to maintain current levels ofservice. None of the employeespreviously laid-off will be broughtback, Deimling said.

Batavia village officials will be looking forareas to cut costs following the defeat of a0.25-percent earnings tax increase.

Mayor John Thebout said there is a possibil-ity one police officer and one street worker willhave to be cut. Brush and leaf pickup also maybe eliminated.

“The voters have given us direction to cut

services,” Thebout said.According to uncertified results from the

Nov. 3 election, 312 residents voted againstthe tax increase and 143 voted for it.

Council member Kathy Turner said the cutswere to be discussed at the council’s financecommittee meeting Nov. 9.

Turner blamed the economy for the mea-sure’s defeat.

“Everybody’s afraid, and I understandthat,” she said.

Turner said the cuts couldcome as early as January.

“It’s not going to be easy,”she said. “We have a lot oftough choices now.”

Workers and residents inBatavia now pay a 1-percent earnings tax. Theproposed 0.25 increase would have been inaddition to that.

The increase would have generated about$175,000 a year.

By Kellie [email protected]

Since the Union Town-ship trustees fired DougWalker last fall, a number ofhopefuls used that tarnishedpublic opinion to propeltheir campaigns.

But Union TownshipTrustee Bob McGee said theNov. 3 election shows amore pleased public.

Incumbents Bob McGeeand Tim Donnellon were re-elected as Union Townshiptrustees. The two received3,275 and 3,131 votes,respectively.

“I think the votes saythat people are pleased withthe situation we’re in.We’ve changed a lot of ourpolicies and procedures tobe more open and I thinkpeople are happy with

that,” McGee said. “I thinkall the doom-sayers can puteverything aside now.”

In the last year, thetrustees have doubled theirnumber of meetings, had aseries of work sessions toscrutinize each department’sbudget, and are working ona five-year rolling budget.They also called for a newWeb site to offer a extensivelist of agendas and minutes,and videos of the meetingsshould be available in thenext month.

“I think the turnoutreflects the appreciation ofthe honest, open approachthat we’ve tried to run forthe last 10 months,” TrusteeTim Donnellon said. “We’vestated that we’ve turned acorner and the votersagreed. I think they are rec-ognizing the progress.”

Both trustees agreed thedepartmental five-yearbudget plans are the firstpriority, especially the budg-et for the township’s policeand fire departments.

“I have been strenuouslypushing for the five-yearbudget plan,” Donnellonsaid. “We’ve made greatstrides this year, but there’smore to be done.”

“We need to do morewith less and find moreways to be efficient,” Don-nellon said.

There were 10 candi-dates running for these twoopen trustee seats.

“It was a hard tough raceand an uphill battle,” McGeesaid.

John McGraw and DebraSiegroth were the runners-up. Siegroth received 2,234and McGraw received 2,233votes.

The Batavia Local SchoolDistrict will have to makedue with its old elementaryschool after voters rejected a$13.9-million bond issue tobuild a new school.

“We will keep puttingBand-Aids on it,” TreasurerMichael Ashmore said ofthe old school that wasoriginally built in 1916.

The 4.20-mill bond issuewas defeated Nov. 3 with1,508 voting against it and1,329 voting for it. The voteresults are not yet certified.

If the bond issue hadpassed, the board of educa-tion wanted to build a newelementary school on landthe district owns next to thehigh school in BataviaTownship. The current ele-mentary school is in the vil-lage of Batavia. The build-

ing is over-crowded andin need ofrepairs.

The OhioSchool Facil-ities Com-mission wasexpected to

pay about half of the $24.5million cost of building anew school, with the bal-ance coming from the bondissue.

Ashmore said the com-mitment from the state isgood until July 2010, atwhich time the facilitiescommission will revise thefunding guidelines.

There is no way to knowif that revision will result inmore or less money forschool districts.

Ashmore said waitinglonger to build the schoolalso could mean rising costsbecause of inflation.

Superintendent BarbaraBradley said she was “high-ly disappointed” in the bondissue defeat.

“But we will continue todo what we do best – edu-cate our children,” she said.

The district will have tolook at other alternativesand the board of educationwill have to decide whatdirection to take, she said.The next board of educationmeeting is 7 p.m. Monday,Nov. 16, at Batavia HighSchool, 1 Bulldog Place.

Board member MichaelEnriquez said the boardwould have to look at itsoptions before consideringanother bond issue.

“The voters have spo-ken,” he said.

Batavia TownshipTrustees Archie Wilson andJames Sauls Jr. are lookingforward to continuity on theboard after winning theirseats in the Nov. 3 election.

Wilson was re-electedand Sauls was returned tothe board after beingappointed in February to fillthe seat of Deborah Clepper,who resigned after beingelected as Clermont Countyrecorder.

Sauls originally said hedidn’t plan to seek a four-year term, but changed his

mind.W i l s o n

finished firstin the six-c a n d i d a t efield with2,039 votes,followed bySauls with2,016 votes.

Finishing third was DanHaglage with 1,440 votes,followed by Ryan Clepperwith 1,331 votes, MelindaRamos with 885 votes andPaul Reinhart Jr. with 531votes. The vote totals havenot be certified.

Wilson said he was“very happy” with the out-

come.“I look

forward tothe next fouryears,” Wil-son said. “Iam veryproud all thecand ida tes

ran a good campaign.”Sauls said he was “just

happy that the citizenschoose to elect me.”

He said he was lookingforward to having continu-ity on the board.

Trustee Lee Cornett, whois not up for re-election until2011, said he is pleasedwith the outcome.

“People seem to be satis-fied with the way we arehandling things,” he said.“There is nothing controver-sial going on, and that’s theway we like it.”

Cornett, who is vicepresident of the ClermontCounty Township Associa-tion, said the number ofcandidates who ran, bothin Batavia Township andother townships through-out the county, was a goodsign. There were 60 candi-dates running for 28 seatsin the county’s 14 town-ships.

“That shows a lot ofinterest,” he said.

Wilson Sauls Jr.


Newcomer Denise Smithtook the most votes for theWest Clermont board ofeducation with 7,207 votes.

Two years ago, Smithwon the election by 28votes, but ended up losingin a recount.

“I was very surprised. It’samazing ... No recount thisyear,” Smith said. “I had agood group of people work-ing with me and I was at thepolls all day. I think it paysoff when people see you inperson.”

Smith said she wants tobe approachable during herterm on the school board.

“I want people to feel com-fortable coming up and talk-ing to me. I think the onlyway you can accomplish thatis to go to sporting events,concerts, PTO meetings, festi-vals at the elementary

schools ando t h e r( even t s , ) ”Smith said.

Batavia Township offi-cials are taking steps inanticipation of the possiblesale of the former Fordplant.

Township Trustee ArchieWilson asked at a Oct. 29meeting if the township canexpect any zoning requestsfor the Ford property. Hesaid people in the communi-ty have been asking himabout it.

Zoning AdministratorDenise Kelley said thetownship has received noofficial notice.

The property is nowzoned as major industrial.

Kelley said any requestsfor conditional use underthe zoning would come tothe township’s board ofzoning appeals.

The township is consid-ering changes in the zoningcode that would make theFord property a specialoverlay district, requiring

approval ofthe trusteesfor zoningrequests.

W i l s o ns u g g e s t e dthe townshipmove aheadas quickly as

possible to make the Fordproperty an overlay district.

Kelley said the approvalprocess would take aboutthree months.

In August, the ClermontCounty commissionersapproved a resolution tohelp secure financing for theprivate acquisition of theformer Ford plant.

It was the first in a seriesof approvals necessary forthe proposed issuance of$6,125,000 Ohio EnterpriseBond Funds by the OhioDepartment of Develop-ment.

The Batavia Townshipsite consists of a 1.8-mil-lion-square-foot building on230 acres.

The Clermont Countycommissioners are movingcloser to offering voluntaryearly retirement to someworkers in an effort to cutcosts.

However, another planto offer voluntary separa-tion incentives to allemployees has been aban-doned.

Under the retirementplan, the number of yearsrequired for retirementwould be cut from 30 to 25years. This would affect atleast seven employees whoare paid either fully or par-

tially out of the generalfund.

At a work session Nov.4, Administrator DavidSpinney told the commis-sioners he thought the planalso should be offered tocounty workers outside thegeneral fund, such as thosepaid by elected officials likethe recorder or auditor.

The plan would be vol-untary and workers wouldhave a specific time frame,like 30 days, to accept it.

Commissioner EdHumphrey said he agreedthe plan should be offered toemployees of all office hold-ers.

When Derek Daniel, a junior inthe Glen Este High School Thespi-an Troupe, found out he could usehis performance skills to help peo-ple, he grabbed his Elmo costume.

Daniel, along with about 20others members of the ThespianTroupe, spent a few hours Satur-day, Oct. 25, trick or treating formonetary and canned good dona-tions.

“Being a performance group,we liked being able to do what welove and help people at the sametime. It was just really really coolto be able to do that,” Daniel said.

The group visited homes in theMcGuffy Lakes subdivisiondecked out in costumes like Elmo,Hello Kitty, Mrs. Pots, and even arock lobster as part of Trick orTreat So Kids Can Eat.

This international program is

supported by the Educational The-atre Association and the Interna-tional Thespian Society.

Using this program, theatretroupes are challenged to raisedonations for local organizations.This is something the troupe par-ticipates in every year.

This year, the Glen Este stu-dents were able to collect $388 infood items and $450.40 in mone-tary donations for the EasternArea YWCA.

“We know that canned fooddrives are great, but where a dol-lar can buy four cans of greenbeans at the grocery store, thelocal food banks can take that dol-lar and buy 10 cans of greenbeans through government pro-grams,” said Joan Stear, troupeadvisor.

“The kids love to give uscanned goods, and we’ll alwaystake their green beans, but wereally try to ask for (monetary)

donations.”Nikki Ballein, a senior in the

troupe, said the residents ofMcGuffy Lakes were very recep-tive.

“We got a few weird looks, butwhen we explained what we weredoing, we got a lot of good reac-tions,” Ballein said. “This was a

great way for me incorporate myfavorite holiday with helping peo-ple.”

Stear said while this project isgood for the community, it’s alsogood for the students.

“What I find refreshing is that,in the midst of performance,which is pretty self-focused, the

students have the opportunity touse their performing arts love andtalents to support others,” Stearsaid.

“We used to just wear our thes-pian shirts, but the costumes workout better,” Stear said. “Kids willnot let you not open the door forElmo.”

Near the end of the day Oct. 30, each of the classes paraded across the stage and a winner for best costume waschosen from each class.

Rather than wear Halloweencostumes to their fall festival Fri-day, Oct. 30, students at With-amsville-Tobasco ElementarySchool dressed up as vocabularywords.

Kids wore everything from agiant tree costume for the word“botany” to a hat with a barbell onit for the word “headstrong.”

At the end of the day, duringthe school’s fall festival, each classparaded across the gym stage toshow off their costumes.

One student from each classwon a crown for the best costume.

Some of the winning costumesincluded “foliage,” “incognito,”and “weather.”

Glen Este’s Michelle Thomascame close to winning a state title in2008 and came close again in 2009.

Thomas finished fourth in theDivision I girls’ state cross countrymeet on Nov. 7 with a time of18:19.02.

Thomas finished as the runner-up in 2008 and Glen Este crosscountry coach Angie Carson saidshe thought Thomas was one ofthree girls that had a shot to win thetitle in 2009.

“A lot of it comes down to who

runs the best race that day,” shesaid.

Carson said she thinks Thomashas the potential to run collegiatelyat a Division I school and that she’sstarting to draw interest from col-lege programs. She said the key toher success is her work ethic.

“What impresses me the most isjust how hard she works,” Carsonsaid. “She gets out there every dayand works as hard as she can to bethe best. I’ve never seen anyonework as hard as her.”

Thomas said more peoplearound school are starting to rec-ognize cross country more after

the team’s success.“People think a lot more of it,”

she said. “People I don’t know willcome up in the hallways to say‘good job’ and more people respectour sport now. It makes me feelproud to know other people do seewhat we accomplish. It feels good tobe a part of the team that did that.”

Thomas said her favorite thingabout running for Glen Este is theteam atmosphere.

“I like getting to meet all of thenew people and saying I was part ofa team at Glen Este. I feel like ourteam is really nice. We have a lot ofgood kids and we cheer for each

other,” she said.Thomas said she tries to be a

leader on the team through herexample, and that she definitelywants to run in college.

“It will be really neat to run atthat elite level,” she said.

As for 2009, it was a season thatrarely saw Thomas on the losingend of things. She went undefeatedthe entire season until the statemeet.

“I feel like that’s the biggesthighlight for me,” Thomas said.“Going undefeated all the waythrough regionals, I feel like that’s abig accomplishment.”

McNicholas senior MattJohnson qualified for thestate cross country meet asan individual, the program’sfirst individual to qualifysince 2002.

“It makes me feel reallygood,” Johnson said of hisaccomplishment. “It makesputting in all the extra effortand getting up to run onSunday mornings in the off-season worth it.”

McNick cross countryhead coach Dan Rosen-baum said Johnson’s suc-cess was a credit to his workethic, both in sports and inthe classroom.

“He’s one of our top stu-dents and in his running,after his freshman year hemade a decision he wasgoing to work as hard as hecould and he’s improvedevery year,” he said. “Thathard determination and

work ethic, those are thekeys to his success.”

Matt Johnson finished inthe Division II boys crosscountry meet with a time of17:24.23, good for No. 58in the event.

Johnson said balancingthe workload from athleticscan be frustrating at timesbut that it also helps himfocus.

“Some people say whenyou have an extracurricularyou do better in school. Ilike the stress, it tells mybrain to kick it up a notch,”he said.

Because Johnson hashad such success in crosscountry and in the class-room, Rosenbaum said he’sa good role model for

younger kids in the pro-gram.

“I’ve pointed that out tothe other kids all year. Wehave a number of kids whoare running times similar tohis in his freshman year.Now they have to make thedecision to work as hard ashe did and it can be a possi-bility for them as well some-day,” Rosenbaum said.

Johnson has beeninvolved in the sport for fiveyears and said he wants tocontinue his cross countrycareer in college. Johnsonsaid he was consideringattending Ohio NorthernUniversity.

“I really like their phar-macy program and I lovetheir facilities,” he said.

“They are only Division IIIin cross country so thetraining wouldn’t be as rig-orous and I think I wouldenjoy it more and standoutmore.”

Johnson said his favoritething about running atMcNick is the team atmos-phere and that one of thebiggest influences on hiscareer is former assistantcoach Bill Valenzano, nowat Walnut Hills.

“He runs every day andgave me some great advicein cross country and in trackand motivated me to be thebest I could be,” Johnsonsaid.

Rosenbaum said his topattribute is his attitude.

“He does not quit,” hesaid. “Even after fallingearly in the regional race, hedidn’t panic, he didn’tspring to the front, heremained determined andworked his way back intothe top 16.”

What a sad dayWhat a sad day, indeed. I can

honestly say I have never feltmore ashamed of my hometownof Amelia as much as I am thisChristmas season.

What has been a beloved andcherished ritual as many years asI can remember is no more, due tothe petulance of a select few viru-lently espousing that we “keepChrist in Christmas.”

What I find bizarre about thewhole mess is the argument overa name for a parade whosecelebrity is Sint Klaas, a figurewho doesn’t appear in any BibleI’ve read. Regardless of what theparade is called, it does not definemy beliefs on Christ or my reasonfor celebrating the season.

Apparently, this is not the casefor others. Rather than channelingthe energy over this debate tosave this wonderful event, thoseopposed to a cosmetic change forlegal reasons choose to cut theirnoses to spite their faces.

In spirit of giving, I propose

each resident against the “holi-day” parade have a red ball oftheir own, so they have some-thing to take home. Merry Christ-mas.

Thank you from the RiebelsWhen Tami and I were in Maui

in 2006, we learned a valuable lifelesson while traveling the “Roadto Hana.” The scenic drive is pop-ular because it takes you pasttropical gardens, water falls andthe most incredible scenery. Dueto the narrow, winding road, itcould take an entire day for the55-mile drive. We didn’t evenmake it before having to turnback. Feeling like we missedsomething, someone at our hotelinformed us the Road to Hana isnot about the destination, but it’sabout the road and the beauty itoffers.

I relate this truth to this cam-paign. It was about getting toknow our community better as wewent from door to door. It wasabout having fun at the polls Elec-tion Day with those we workedwith, competed against and thevoters we met. It was about ourfriends and family surroundingand supporting us in every wayby donating their time and talents.

Sure, we didn’t reach the desti-nation this time either, but theroad was sweet and we are grate-ful for the journey.

Thank you to those who sup-ported me and congratulations toChris and Bonnie for winning therace.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The Amelia Christmas Paradehas been a 28-year-old belovedpast time and tradition in ourtown.

Coming from a concerned vet-eran and citizen, who wholeheartedly believes in Christmas, Ifind it to be a sad day when asmall town takes the advice of anattorney not to use the wordChristmas in the name of a paradeor any other event involved with agovernment agency.

While serving in the UnitedStates Military there was only oneday a year when we could feelsafe because the fighting aroundthe world would stop for a fewshort hours, and that was onChristmas Eve.

With that being said, we allremember the famous movie “Mir-acle on 34th Street.” In thismovie, the United States PostalOffice, a government agency,

eventually rec-ognizes KrisKringle as SantaClause and car-ries on the tradi-tion of Christ-mas.

A l t h o u g h“Miracle on 34thStreet” is only amovie a realisticexample wouldbe our nation’s86 year old tra-dition of the

lighting of the National ChristmasTree.

The National Park Service,another government agency, hasbeen sponsoring this event at thePresidents Park, south of theWhite House.

Every year this is where ourPresident delivers a message ofpeace to our nation and the world

with the lighting of the NationalChristmas Tree and the “ChristmasPathway of Peace.”

Along the “Christmas Pathwayof Peace,” each state recognizesand shows support for theirChristmas tree. For 86 years thistradition has been able to carry onwithout replacing its title of“Christmas” with “Holiday.”

This goes to show that theleaders of the United States nomatter how big or small and ourenemies no matter what part ofthe world, recognize and supportChristmas, so why does our smalltown have to be any different?

All I am asking is for a traditionto live on, unchanged and unbro-ken. That being said maybe thisyear we will all be able to experi-ence our own miracle on MainStreet.

The first Amelia Christmasparade took place when I was 9years old.

I remember standing in front ofmy church and watching thefloats go by. My favorite was Benthe bear – a real bear who wasowned by my friend’s dad.

I also remember getting somuch candy that I had to take offmy hat to carry it all home. Myears were frozen but I was happywith the loot, especially thecaramel bull’s-eyes.

I moved away after college andhaven’t had a chance to see theparade in 20 years or so, but itwas nice to think other kids wouldhave the chance to create similarmemories.

Not this year, apparently.The Grinch has come to the vil-

lage.When the Amelia Business

Association couldn’t find enoughvolunteers to help run the event, itcould have simply let the paradedie. Instead, the group handed itover to the village.

The village could have kept the“Christmas Parade,” but it wouldhave put Amelia in financial perilif it was ever sued on FirstAmendment issues.

So the council decided tochange just the name – not thespirit – of the parade from “Christ-mas” to “Holiday.”

Enter the vil-lagers. The citi-zens of Who-ville have turnedon themselvesand denied thevillage a parade.

Local church-es and business-es have with-drawn their sup-port and threat-ened boycotts,but not one of

them came forward to sponsor theparade and keep the “Christmas”in it.

I understand people are tired ofthe overly “PC” and litigiousnation we now live in. CookieMonster can’t even eat cookiesanymore for health reasons andpeople get millions of dollars forspilling hot coffee on themselves.

I even understand Christiansgetting weary of “Happy Holi-days” in place of “Merry Christ-mas.”

But we live in a country withexpanding ethnicities and beliefs.Is it really so terrible we celebratethis diversity together?

The spirit of the season isn’twrapped up in one name, or evenone religion for that matter.Christ’s message was to love allfellow men, not just an exclusivefew.

Should we start having one“Christmas” parade for some andanother parade for all others?

I listened to Amelia MayorLeroy Ellington when he was onthe 700-WLW Bill Cunninghamshow Nov. 3.

“The Christ that I know wouldbe at the parade to celebrate in theloving spirit of the holiday seasonregardless of what the parade wascalled,” said Ellingon.

I couldn’t agree more.No one is trying to keep

“Christ” out of the parade. Church-es aren’t being denied the right tohave nativity scenes or otherChristian themes on floats.

Just as classic car owners aren’tbeing denied the right to ride inthe parade, though one couldargue that a ’57 Chevy is about asChristian as Frosty the Snowman.

Even without a hat full ofcaramels this year, Christmas willcome just the same. Because itdoes mean a little bit more thanfloats in parades and gifts underthe tree.

But here’s hoping that the newgroup of volunteers working toorganize the parade are sucessful.And that all our hearts grow threetimes bigger this holiday season.Lisa J. Mauch is presentation editor for

Notebook

There are so many good thingshappening in the Milford schooldistrict these days. The district israted Excellent with Distinction bythe Ohio Department of Education(ODE). The state also releasedMilford from fiscal caution after acombined effort from the commu-nity and the Milford board of edu-cation. The district is in a muchstronger financial position withthe passage of the operating levylast November and action takenby the board to review all spend-ing and make cuts where neces-sary and warranted. Our studentsare successful in the classroom aswell as in their extra-curricularactivities.

We appreciate the community’ssupport of the schools, our stu-dents and staff. We have achievedmany things, but there always isroom for improvement. This sum-mer, the board approved a longrange plan, which was created bya committee representing staff,administration, students and com-munity members.

The plan focuses on areasincluding professional develop-ment for staff, communications,staff structure and ratios, funding,technology, curriculum and inter-

vention. Themission of thedistrict, as statedin the plan, is toinspire and pre-pare our stu-dents to reachtheir fullestpotential in adiverse anddynamic world.

The goal ofthe communica-tion strategy isto maintain and

expand two-way, proactive com-munications with all stakeholders.One way to improve two-waycommunication is through a sur-vey. A district committee, repre-senting community members,Burke Marketing, district staff andstudents worked together to createthe survey. Students from MilfordHigh School’s DECA marketingprogram took this on as an intern-ship project.

This is the first community sur-vey conducted since the approvalof the long range plan. It will pro-vide for a baseline of informationabout the opinions and beliefs ofthe community.

The district will share the

results of the survey with theboard and the community uponcompletion and analysis of thedata.

The survey is an electronic sur-vey that will be available startingNov. 11 through our district Website at www.milfordschools.org. Itasks a variety of questions relatedto school programs, curriculumand overall satisfaction with thedistrict. We value your opinionsand intend to review the results aspart of the ongoing process toevaluate district offerings.

We intend to utilize our auto-mated notification system calledcNotify to send to our parents alink to access the survey. The dis-trict has a communications com-mittee which also worked to createa postcard to mail out to shareinformation with the communityabout the survey. You can expectto receive either the postcard bytraditional mail or the cNotify linkby e-mail this week.

We appreciate you taking a fewminutes to answer all of the ques-tions in the survey. It will certain-ly help in our future planning.

Dr. Robert Farrell is the superintendentof the Milford Exempted Village

School District.

Last week’s questionDo you plan to attend a Vet-

erans Day event in your com-munity? What does the daymean to you?

“My father was born on Nov.11, 1906, so Veterans Day has aspecial meaning for me.

“Since I work for the federalgovernment, we are given the dayoff as a national holiday andalthough I never had the opportu-nity to serve in a branch of ourmilitary I think it’s important forall of us as Americans to recognizeand give thanks for the countlesssacrifices made by our men andwomen in uniform.

“They are all true heroes, giv-ing of themselves to protect thefreedoms many of us often takefor granted.”

M.M.

“Although I have no currentplans to attend an event, to me itis recognition of those who riskedtheir lives and those who gavetheir lives for our freedoms.”

B.N.

“In all honesty, I had notthought about attending a Veter-an’s Day event until this week’schatroom question showed up.

“Although I am a veteran, I didnot see combat, and I was lucky tohave done my tour of duty in theNavy during a relatively peacefultime in our country’s history(1954-1958).

“People have a tendency totake the good things in life forgranted, and I am also guilty ofthat from time to time, and Iregret it.

“This note from the Communi-ty Press has made me decide to

plan to attend one of the events inthe community, to show myappreciation for the awesome sac-rifices made by so many in ourArmed Forces, especially thosewho courageously gave their verylives in defense of our country andour freedom.

“Thank you American veter-ans!”

B.B.

“I served in the active armyfrom April 1965 until November1969 and in the reserves until1989. I was in Vietnam fromDecember 1967 until November1968 and “won” a Purple Heartand a Bronze Star.

“I am proud of my service but Ihave never seen fit to attend aVeterans Day event, except whenI was in the reserves and we drovetrucks in parades.

“I am 65 years old and hopethe day never comes where themost exciting and fulfilling thing Ican celebrate was learning to killmy fellow man in a foreign land.

“For me, Veterans Day is a daywhen a lot of old coots with noth-ing better to do try to regain theglory of their youth.

“I will be backpacking in theSmokies trying to find mine.”

A local woman says shenow regrets ever respondingto an ad for air duct clean-ing.

Although the price in thead sounded good, she saysshe had no idea what shewas getting herself into.

What happened to hershould be a cautionary talefor everyone.

Nicole Smith of FortThomas says she now real-izes she should have dou-ble-checked before agreeingto more and more ductcleaning after responding toan ad.

“It said they would clean14 vents and one return for$49.95. I was like, ‘They’renot that dirty, just kind ofsweep it through and get itout of there,’ ” she said.

Smith said when theserviceman arrived thingswere different.

“He even refused toclean the ducts because hesaid they had to have some-thing done. He wouldn’t doit, he said he had to treat itfirst,” she said.

Smith ended up agreeingto a host of things.

“It was treatment for asanitizer to control germs,bacteria and feces, and aproduct to control mold,mildew and fungus,” shesaid.

That, plus a whole lot

m o r e ,came to$1,000.

A f t e rthe serv-i c e m a nl e f t ,f r i e n d sand othercompaniesshe con-tacted all

raised questions about theair duct cleaning – includingwhether she really hadmold as the servicemanclaimed.

So, she called andrequested a refund, but itwas denied.

“They said because theyhad already done the treat-ment they put it through,”said Smith.

I showed Smith the U.S.Environmental ProtectionAgency recommendationabout duct cleaning. It saidduct cleaning has neverbeen shown to actually pre-vent health problems.

“I really wish I wouldhave read this beforehand,”Smith told me.

The EPA said much ofthe dirt and dust in air ductssimply adheres to the ductsurfaces and does not nec-essarily enter the livingspace.

So, it said, cleaningshould be considered for

only severe cases of mold,dust and debris.

The EPA also said, “Pol-lutants that enter the homeboth from outdoors andindoor activities such ascooking, cleaning, smokingor just moving around cancause greater exposure tocontaminants than dirty airducts.”

I contacted the companySmith had hired, explainedhow it failed to give herthree days in which to can-cel, as required by law, andthe company has now givenSmith all her money back.

If, in your absence, somefriends of yours said youwere one of the most pru-dent people they knew –would you feel compliment-ed or criticized?

Prudence sounds a lotlike “prude,” doesn’t it? So,are you offended? What isprudence, and what does itmean to be prudent?

Prudence is the first offour virtues traditionallynamed as the most impor-tant in the ethical order. Asfar back as Plato and Aristo-tle the virtues of prudence,justice, fortitude and tem-perance have been praised.

In “A Concise Dictionaryof Theology,” Gerald CollinsS. J. says that prudence“entails the capacity totranslate general norms andideals into practice.”

A Christian prudence ismore than a mere shrewd-ness to win your case or

avoid harsh consequences.It’s more similar to aninnate common sense.

Prudence is the intellec-tual ability to choose theright means toward a wor-thy end.

You know how often westruggle with puzzling ques-tions of how to spend ourmoney, where to direct ourtime, how to handle thecompeting demands of ourlives, how to settle differ-ences, etc.

A student may wrestlewith dilemmas such as, “Ithink it would be moreresponsible to stay homeand study for the test andnot to go to the movies; yet,I’ve been working hard,maybe I deserve a break orfind time to do both.”

A judgment is called for.A prudent judgment.

Situations crying for aprudent decision seem end-

less in life: how to breakbad news gently; whetherto punish a fault or let it gothis time; how much tobecome further involved ina risky or flirtatious rela-tionship; what legislation tovote for in an election thatwill best promote the com-mon good, etc.?

All such matters, greatand small, are governed byprudence. We become aprudent and wise personnot in making one prudentdecision.

Prudence is the acquiredhabit of always, or nearlyalways, choosing the rightmeans to achieve morallygood ends. At times it canbe agonizing and demandmuch of us.

Former Yale chaplainWilliam Sloane Coffin said,“The first of the four cardi-nal virtues of the RomanCatholic Church is ‘pruden-

tia,’ which basically meansdamn good thinking. Christcame to take away our sins,not our minds.”

Yes, prudence takesdamn good thinking – notmerely egotistically decidingwhat fits my agenda.

If we develop prudence,it usually comes from thewidest possible observationand experience of humanbehavior, understandingwhat constitutes psycholog-ical health, and a conscien-tious awareness of the gen-eral moral principles withwhich God has imbuedmankind.

Prudence has little corre-lation with book learning.Some people seem to devel-op it more readily, someotherwise intelligent per-sons appear slow to catchon, and geniuses may betotally deficient.

Making prudent choices

is often laborious, yet thecomplexities of life make itever more necessary.Thomas Aquinas claimedthat the central moral virtuewas prudence.

While love is the under-lying motive for moralaction, the essence of moraljudgment itself is the astuteand wise judgment we exer-cise by sifting through allthe alternatives presentedby the concrete world.

And since the alterna-tives are often so complex,wise judgment is itself askill and constitutes thevirtue called prudence.

So, if you hear somefriends have called you themost prudent person theyknow, smile, don’t frown.

That friendship and thiscolumn led Velma to mewith her favorite Jell-Orecipe .

“Red on bottom, white inmiddle and green on top.Very colorful for holidays,”she said.

Locate More &Bigger Fish withthe Stream &

Lake Map of OhioThe STREAM & LAKEMAP OF OHIO resemblesanother map-- known toPennsylvania anglers asthe “Lost Stream Map.”

The “Stream Mapof Pennsylvania” wascompleted in 1965 aftera 30 year effort by How-ard Higbee, a formerPenn State Professor.

Professor Higbeesucceeded in creatinga map of the highestdetail possible... a mapthat shows every streamand lake. He painstak-ingly plotted by hand,the location of 45,000miles of streams onto a3 by 5 foot map.

The map sold ex-tremely well - until itwas lost several yearslater. Incredibly, theprinter entrusted withthe original drawing andprinting plates declaredbankruptcy, then care-lessly hauled Higbee’s30 years of work to alandfill.

The experts had al-ways told Professor Hig-bee that reprints wereimpossible, because themaps were printed innon-photographic blue.

Then, in 1991, atthe age of 91, HowardHigbee’s dream cametrue. Computers madeit possible to reprint themap. Holding an updat-ed map, Howard said, “Inever thought I’d live tosee this day.”

Then, by combin-ing Professor Higbee’sknowledge with com-puter technology -- theSTREAM & LAKE MAPOF OHIO was created.

The sale of these maps ben-efits The Enquirer’s NewspapersIn Education program. $7.95 forthe rolled and folded maps and$15.95 for the laminated mapswill be donated to the program.If you do not wish to contribute toNIE, please call Kristin Garrison at513.768.8135 for further pricinginformation.

IN THE SERVICE

Howdy folks,Well here I go again, we

lost a good man but our lossis God’s gain. This feller wasa retired Ohio State High-way Patrol Officer. He was amember of the OwensvilleChurch of Christ, and was agood Christian along withhis wife. He was the presi-dent of the Owensville His-torical Society, his namewas Roy. He was very ded-icated to his church and thehistorical society, also to hisfamily and grandchildren.

Last year he called us,and when we went over totheir place they had agarbage can, full of honeybees, so we brought the canhome and put them in ahive. Then we took thegarbage can back to them.

Last week we neededmore cat food and dog foodwhile we were at Walmart.There were some folks theregetting their cans of catfood. I was watching them,they would read the labeland would pick up anothercan, it seems their cats havetrained them on the kind offood they will eat.

I was talking to themand they need to feed at acertain time or their catswon’t eat, so they havetreats to get them to eat. Wehave to buy treats for RuthAnn to give to Dixie, whenshe sets down on the couch.

There is only one brand ofcat food our cats will eat.We need to feed Dixie in thehouse then let Summer inand bring his bowl in for hiscanned food, then feed Ric-ochette his out on theporch.

Summer will leave a littleof his canned food in thebowl and I put the dry foodin and put the bowl and himback outside. When I putthe bowl down Ricochettewill hunt around the bowlfor some of the canned food.This morning Summer ateall of his and when I set itdown, Ricochette looked allthrough it and didn’t findany so he looked up at me.

The Monroe Grangenominated a lady from theBethel United MethodistChurch for the non Grange-member volunteer of theyear. This lady along with afriend started a free clothingstore here in Bethel. Theladies who got the storestarted are Marie Pelfreyand her buddy.

The ministerial associa-tion here in Bethel hashelped work in it, too. Atthe Grange Convention,Marie got her award andthere were more than 300in attendance at the ban-quet to see how dedicatedthis lady is helping people.She and her husband go tothe soup kitchen in Cincin-

nati to help serve and some-times takes clothing for thehomeless there.

Another lady in ourchurch is planning on start-ing a free food kitchen forthe unemployed and theunder-employed or anyonewho needs a meal. This galis Brenda, so give a call tothe church at 734-7201 ifyou need this service. Thedate for the first one is Nov.14 from 11 a.m. till 1 p.m.

Last Friday evening folkshelped set up the HolyHouse display at theMethodist Church. Therewere several who helped dothis. Our son-in-law Bobhas been in charge of thisfor more than five years.

There were 1,772 folkswho went through andenjoyed the display Satur-day night. The first displayis of Jesus’ birth, the secondis of his crucifixion and thethird is of his resurrection.

The ladies popped andmade up 1,800 bags of pop-corn. The children’s minis-ter, Janet, bought 60 pack-ages of cookies from Kroger.There is hot chocolate,orange drink, water, cookiesand popcorn for everyone.

Then as they are exitingthe church, there is a flierabout our services and aFrisch’s coupon for the chil-dren. Everyone enjoys thisso much. The people who

portray thecha ra c t e r sare to bethanked andthe Lord willbless every-one whotook part orhelped inany way.

Sunday we had our fam-ily here for birthday din-ners, for our daughterPauline and our son-in-lawBob. What a blessing tohave them all here.

Start your week by goingto the church of your choiceand praise the Good Lord.God Bless All More Later.

Take a breakThe answer to last week’s clue is Front Street Cafe in New Richmond.Those who correctly identified the clue are: BBaarrbbaarraa MMccCCaaffffrreeyy, UnionTownship; RRooggeerr CCooookk, New Richmond; SStteevvee NNaaggeell, Union Township;AAnnnnaa NNaaggeell, Union Township; ZZaacchh KKeeaattoonn, Eastgate; NNaaddiiaa GGhhuunniieemm,Goshen Township; NNiiccoo MMooeevveess, Amelia; NNaatthhaann MMiilllleerr, Goshen

Last week’s clue.

The holidays are fastapproaching. Family mem-bers who live out of town,as well as local family mem-bers, will be making plansto visit their loved ones dur-ing the holidays. Sometimesthose loved ones live innursing homes. How doesthat fit into a family Christ-mas holiday?

A few years ago, both ofmy husband’s parents livedin a nursing home inLouisville. He visited often,and his sister lived nearbyand was very supportive.

But rather than just havea brief visit at the nursinghome, we decided to have afamily Christmas partythere.

We reserved the home’selegant sunroom ahead oftime. Both of my daughtersand their families went – 13in all. We took refresh-ments, gifts and partyfavors. And we had a greattime.

It’s important that resi-dents of nursing homes arereassured on a regular basisthat they are still importantmembers of the family. Thislist of ideas may help yourvisits be more meaningful.

When you visit, be sup-portive and affectionate.Hug your loved one when

you arriveand leave.Often nurs-ing homeresidents areonly touchedwhen theyare dressedor bathed.

Plan youvisits ina d v a n c e .This enablesyour lovedone to havecontrol over

at least one aspect of theirschedule. Plus, planningahead allows them to enjoythe anticipation of yourvisit.

Listen to your loved one.Do not talk “at” them. Evenif stories are repeated, be agood listener.

Speak to all residents asadults, not as children.“How are we this morn-ing?” is patronizing andcontributes to low self-esteem.

Share news about yourlife and family, and don’tforget to take photographs.Don’t spend a lot of timeasking them about howthey feel or if they haveeaten. Share funny stories.Laughter is important.

Bring your children and

grandchildren to visit, aswell as some of their artprojects as gifts to brightenthe room.

It was always obvious tous on our visits as to whohad a lot of family supportand who didn’t. Some of therooms were distressinglybare. That’s why it’s impor-tant to say “hello” to otherresidents who may notreceive many visitors.

Take your loved one foran outing if they are able togo. A trip to the beautyshop or barber shop, arestaurant, ice cream or aride in the country means somuch to people who areconfined to one building.

If you live out of town,keep in touch by telephone.We paid for a phone to beinstalled in my father-in-law’s room so we could stayin touch with him daily.Sends notes and photosoften.

One last thing, getacquainted with the nursinghome staff. Let them knowthat you are attentive to thecare they give. A simplethank you to the staff oncein a while makes life morepleasant for everyone.

Senior Services.

Don’t forget about loved ones
