GOSHEN TWP. — Officialscontinued to look for ways tocut expenses at a Feb. 6 budgethearing.

The trustees held two bud-get hearings in January andhave scheduled another onefor 5 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 20,at the township governmentcenter, 6757 Goshen Road.

cuts, the proposed budget isnow about $4.1million.

Administrator Ray Snydersaid the difference can bemade up by using some of the$1.2 million available in unen-cumbered funds – money ap-propriated in previous yearsbut not used.

But trustees said they wantto make as many cuts as possi-ble before using the unencum-bered funds.

Zoning Director Teri Dona-hoe asked for an increase infunding to pay zoning commis-sion members for two meet-ings a month rather than justone. She also asked for moneyto pay for a part-time secre-tary for the commission.

Trustee Ray Autenrieb vol-unteered to donate $1,400 tothe township to pay for the sec-retary.

The trustees proposed pay-

ing the zoning commissionmembers $35 a month ratherthan $35 a meeting to keepcosts down if more than onemeeting a month is needed.

Both the donation by Auten-rieb and the change in pay forzoning commission membershad tobeapprovedby trustees,who met Feb. 12.

Snyder said the budgetneeds to be passed by March31.

STONELICK TWP. — Duringlunch time, students at Cler-mont Northeastern ElementarySchool learn about the advan-tages of recycling.

The school received a $4,000grant thisyearfromDukeEner-gy to create a “green cafeteria”at the school.

The project started with stu-dents separating trash from re-cyclable materials at lunchtime, said Judy Krebs, educa-tioncoordinatorat theClermontSoil and Water ConservationDistrict.

Krebs helped obtain thegrant and is working with theschool staff and students on theproject.

The students place recycla-

ble materials in separate con-tainers, dump any trash andthen stack their foam trays,which also are recyclable,Krebs said.

Separating thematerials hasresulted in the school reducingthe amount of trash that goesinto dumpsters, she said.

The students also are sepa-rating fruits and vegetablesfrom the trash to place in com-post tumblers behind theschool.

Phase two of the project willbe using the compost to start agarden.

OWENSVILLE — While ithasn’t been a great season forthe Clermont NortheasternRockets basketball team as awhole, the emergence of ju-nior Jay Teaney has been abright spot.

After averaging slightlymore than sixpoints agameasa sophomore, Teaney is scor-ingmore than16 a contest thisseason and is well on his wayto a first-team All-SouthernBuckeye Conference Ameri-can Division honor.

“I’m getting good looks atthe basket,” the junior said,“and my teammates are get-tingme involved and I’mplay-ing good defense.”

One of the biggest reasonfor his success is the improve-ment in his field-goal percent-age. After shootingmore than30 percent from the field as asophomore, he is at 39.5 per-cent this season.

To put those numbers inperspective, through Feb. 7Teaney has taken exactly thesame number of field goals heattempted last season (119)but has made 11 more shotswith at least two games toplay.

After picking up the gamein the fourth grade andhavingto work hard at every level toget where he is now, Teaneyknows all the work he’s put inis starting to pay off.

“I worked at it a lot,” hesaid. “… I just worked andworked and worked over thesummer. AAU, open gyms andshooting at home all help.”

As far as this season goes,the Rockets are 4-16 but havesix losses by 10 points or less.

While Teaney has certainlyplayedwell in some losses thisseason, the junior has scoredin double digits in all four ofthe Rockets wins this season.

“We have had a lot of closegames (this season),” Teaneysaid. “We are working hardevery day in practice and justtrying to get better.”

When it comes to the fu-ture,Teaney is hoping tomakean even bigger leap than hedid this season. The juniorwants to get CNE basketballback to itswinningways like ithas for themajorityof thepre-vious 10 seasons.

“Hopefully (I can take mygame) a lot farther,” he said.“Wewant league titles, we aretrying to make deep tourna-ment runs and just being bet-ter overall.”

As the Rockets close outthe 2012-2013 season, Teaneyis alreadyworking toward theleadership role he knows hewill assume as a senior nextyear.

“I’ll be the leader in the fu-ture and I’m just trying to getthe guys ready for next sea-son,” Teaney said. “We arejust trying to finishstrongthisseason for the seniors.”

MILFORD — Garrett Mayle-ben’s statistics won’t jump outat you, but what will is his abil-ity to help the Milford Eagleswin basketball games.

Sitting at14-6 and coming offan upset win over Springboro(16-4) and a 17-point victoryoverGlenEste, the senior –whowillplayatBowlingGreenStateUniversity next season – is sole-ly focused on winning gamesand making a postseason run.

“Well after signing withBowling Green, I kind ofdropped my individual aspira-tions,” Mayleben said. “All Iwant is to see the team win. Aslong as that is happening I amhappy.”

The senior’s decision to at-tend Bowling Green reallycame down to one person: Headcoach Louis Orr.

“(He) played my position inthe NBA, he has a strong faithand he is just a high-characterguy,” the Eagle said, who is av-eraging 9.1 points and 6.4 re-bounds per game this season.“He just showedmewhatBowl-ing Green is all about and

seemed authentic and real.”With both his points and re-

bounding numbers up this sea-son, the fact that he signedwiththe Falcons back in Novembermay factor into that.

“In a lot of ways it has been arelief,”Maylebensaidaboutnothaving to worry about impress-ing colleges as a senior. “I’ve

been able to just focus on theteam and getting things done asa team.”

It has been a dream of his toplay Division I college basket-ball since the eighth grade. Andwhile that dream will be real-ized in just a few short months,Mayleben knows it will take anexceptional amount of hardwork to be a force at the Divi-sion I level.

“There is always strengththings to work on, but really it’severything (I need towork on),”the senior said. “Whatever isasked of me, I am ready to do.”

Coming back full-circle tothe final few games of his highschool career, the Eagles havesome serious potential to makea deep postseason run. To dothat the senior believes he andhis teammates have to play liketheydid in theirupsetofSpring-boro Feb. 5.

“Weall just came together asa team; nobody was playing he-ro ball and we just spread thewealth,” he said of the keys inbeating Springboro. “… Wehave to spread the scoringaround the team. Solid defenseiswhatweareknownforandwejust have to rebound.”

A publication of

Kasich’s JobsOhio needs oversightRecall the frequent visits to

Ohio by Mitt Romney duringthe 2012 presidential cam-paign? In appearances withOhio sidekick John Kasich,Mitt ballyhooed the success ofthe Kasich administration’scenter piece for economicgrowth – JobsOhio. Accordingto Romney and Kasich, Ohio’simproving economy was beingdriven by this privately-con-trolled, state-funded devel-opment firm.

JobsOhio is a big deal forKasich. Legislation passed in2011 created and made it re-sponsible for all of Ohio’s eco-nomic development efforts. Itis a privately-managed non-profit corporation designed tosupersede Ohio’s Departmentof Development. Kasich andthe Republican-controlledlegislature plan to finance

JobsOhio, for25 years, withprofits gener-ated fromsales of alco-hol by theOhio Divisionof Liquor Con-trol. Currently,the DLC buysand distrib-utes all spirits

sold by Ohio retailers. In 2011,those profits totaled $136.3million in general revenues.Factoring increased consump-tion and pricing, experiencedbudget watchers estimatetotal dollars generated overthe next 25 years could be asmuch as $7 billion. Consider-ing these huge sums and thefact it is privately controlled,one might assume strict over-sight procedures were written

into the JobsOhio bill. Not so.The legislature exemptedJobsOhio from state openrecords regulations. Addition-al exclusions likely have Co-lumbus lobbyists grinning,too. JobsOhio directors andemployees are exempted fromethics regulations and routinefinancial audits. It is a sweetdeal for the governor becausehe also has complete authorityto appoint corporate directorsand the audit committee. Leg-islative advice and consent isnot required. The only oppor-tunity lawmakers have forinquiry occurs when JobsOhiopromises out tax credits orexpenditures that would di-rectly affect the state budget.Otherwise, spending $136.3million is nobody’s business.All meetings, correspondenceand financials of JobsOhio are

protected from public review.Even their basic measurementof success, return on invest-ment, is top secret.

Since inception, JobsOhiohas been controversial. TheOhio Supreme Court has beenasked to rule on the legality ofits funding. The state constitu-tion prohibits the passage oflaws that grant special corpo-rate powers or the lending ofOhio’s credit to a private busi-ness, so two Democratic legis-lators have signed on to a suitchallenging the constitutional-ity of the liquor sales transfer.More recently, JobsOhio di-rector, James Leftwich wasterminated when a Daytonnewspaper discovered heviolated ethics laws by failingto advise supervisors that hewas also doing work for hisprivate consulting firm. Even

worse, his paid consulting isfor Wright State Universityand it rewards Leftwich withpartial ownership in start-upbusinesses that utilize re-search conducted at the uni-versity.

JobsOhio is a big idea andthis will be its first fully oper-ational year. So far, it seemsthe biggest issue with theprogram is poor oversight.The legislature can amend thelaw if Republicans would dareto challenge Kasich. Thatseems unlikely, so insteadwe’re left to trust the gover-nor to competently managethe operation. I recall thewords of Ronald Reagan “trustbut verify.”

The month of Februaryhas long been associated withthe heart. After all, Feb. 14 isValentine’s Day, a time tocelebrate with your lovedones. In the spirit of all thelittle candy hearts that read“BeMine,” “Crazy 4 U” and“Kiss Me,” we at the Cler-mont YMCA, would like tohelp you work on helping

keep yourloved onesaround for along time tocome.

For hearthealth, adopt-ing and main-taining ahealthy life-style andhealthy hab-its can lead to

a longer and more productivelife. Heart health guidelinesinclude staying active, main-taining a healthy weight,managing stress, quittingsmoking, knowing your num-bers (cholesterol and bloodpressure), avoiding or man-aging diabetes and knowingyour family history.

The CDC recommendsthat all adults get 150 minutesof moderate-level cardio-vascular activity, along withtwo or more days per week ofstrength training. While 150minutes may seem like a lot,you don’t have to do it all atonce. Spread it out over theweek. Break it into smallerchunks of time, perhaps 10minutes at a time. How abouta brisk 10-minute walk, threetimes per day, five days perweek? This will give you 150minutes of moderate-intensi-ty activity.

It is recommended thatyou consult with your physi-cian before beginning anyfitness program. Your physi-cian can check your “num-bers,” review your personaland family history, and sug-gest any limitations thatmight be needed.

Here’s how to take thosefirst steps. Think about yourinterests and motivation forheart health. Do you enjoywalking on a treadmill, takingclasses or working out innatural settings? Do you

prefer to workout with othersor on your own?What hasyour previous experiencebeen and what did you like ordislike about that experi-ence? How do you plan to fitexercise into your life andlifestyle?

Take it slow, set smallgoals, and know that you mayneed to make adjustments.Some stumbling blocks areinevitable. Make friends andhave fun.

The Clermont FamilyYMCA is one of several coun-ty organizations workingtogether through ClermontCAN (Coalition for Activity &Nutrition) that provide pro-grams, facilities and staff tohelp you get started on yourhealth goals and keep youmotivated.

Last week’s question:How does Greater Cincinnati

Airport’s announcement that alow-cost carrier, Frontier Air-lines, will be operating from theairport affect you?Areyoumoreor less likely to fly from CVG asopposed to another regional air-port?

“Before retirement, andwhile working for a major na-tional corporation, I flew ev-ery week from CVG. That waswhen they had four active ter-minals. Now that I am retiredand paying formy own flights,and due to the extreme cost ofall flights fromCVGI shop andusually fly from one of threeother airports. Thanks to websights like Hipmonk.com andCheapOair.com flight costfromvarious airports are easi-ly obtained finding themmuchless expensive then CVG.

“Researching Frontier Ifound that their flights are ex-tremely limited for the future.Frontier does not go South,Southwest or East, where Itravel. Sometime in the futurewhen Frontier open theirflights nationwide it mighthelp our dying airport. Not un-til CVG gets a Southwest willcost decrease. Oh, and there isa web sight "parksleepfly"where one can stay a nightnear just about any airport,free breakfast, leave your carfor a week to a month, and getfree shuttle service to andfrom the airport back to yourcar. Much cheaper then air-port parking if you plan onstaying formore then aweek.”

B.K.

“I have been retired fromIBM for 21 years, and haveflown out of our airportmaybeonce or twice since then. Somyview is not as important assomeone who still flies regu-larly.

“Having said that, however,I have seen media discussionabout the concern over Fron-tier’s initial low rates, whichprobably will adversely affectDelta Airlines’ operating prof-its. Some of that discussionspeculates that it may evencause Delta to leave, and whenFrontier is left without compe-tition it may well raise itsrates.

“One of the few benefits ofgetting old is that I don’t haveto travel onbusiness anymore,

so this situation will not affectme directly.”

Bill B.

“That depends on the cost ofthe new carrier’s tickets. Sofar, by reputation, CVG hasbeen very costly to fly out ofcompared toDayton or Indian-apolis, mainly due to their lowoperating and overhead costsof what CVG has.

“I have flown out of Daytonin the past for almost one-halfto one-third the cost of CVG,get onto a plane which takesme to CVG and Imake the con-necting flight from there. Idon’t see the logic of CVG.”

O.H.R.

“Frontier will be anothersource to check on flights andfares. We often fly out of CVGto LA and have in the pastfound good deals on bothDeltaand American Airlines.

“Delta provides a directflight on some days where AAusually has one to two stopsprior to LA.

“Understand that Frontierwill have to stop in Denver sothis might not be as beneficialin cost as a direct flight. Timeand cost will tell and makesome future decisions onflight providers.”

D.J.

“I’mnot a regular airlineus-er, but I am glad to see somecompetition come to CVG.Frontier’s arrival proves onceand for all that Delta wasmak-ing excessive profits. Sad tosay, that’s what most business-es do in the absence of compe-tition.”

R.V.

“Frontier coming into CVGis great news! Hope other car-riers are soon to follow. Al-ready bought very affordabletickets to go to Denver thissummer.”

J.R.B.

“I will definitely try to flyfrom CVG using Frontier.Here’s hoping they can makeit!”

J.G.

“Greater Cincinnatiansdon’t enjoy driving 100+ milesnorth, south or west to find af-fordable air travel. For thepast nearly 30 years it’s been away of life thanks to the stran-glehold of Delta Airlines onCVG.

“Competition is a wonder-ful thing, I welcome Frontierand look forward to the 25-mile drive. I wish them suc-cess.”

D.J.H.Question: Do you agree or

disagree with Duke Energy’s re-quest for a24percent increase inelectric rates and an 18 percentincrease in gas rates when someof the money is expected to beused to move utilities for thestreetcar project in Cincinnati?Why or why not ?

“Disagree. What the politi-cians seem to not understand,is that there are some thingsthat you can do when the econ-omy is going great, but thatyou should not do when theeconomy is barely crawlingalong. This administrationseems tobelieveyoucanspendyour way out of a recession.Pet projects like the streetcarshouldbeput on thebackburn-er in times like these. A goodexample of this is the way theE.P.A regulations have causedutilities to shut down200 of thecoal-firedpowerplants (Beck-jordplant in 2015)without firstreplacing them with othermeans. I have yet to hear howmanywindmills and solar pan-els itwill take to replace a coal-fired power plant. They arenot there yet. Are we going tohave to cover the whole south-ern part of the statewithwind-mills to replace Beckjord.Some may say that they sendmost of the energy fromBeck-jord out of state, but thatdoesn’t matter. It still willcome off the energy grid. Wewill face brownouts and blackouts in the future by doingthings this way. You can’t getthe cart before the donkey.

“You just have to keep thedonkeys from making all thedecisions.”

One morning, a long timeago, in her backyard garden,NancyOrlandoandherhusbandfound their harvest all gone.While her husband was upsetthe animals ate up his garden, abook sprouted fromwithinNan-cy’s imagination. “A Garden! AGarden!” is her idea ofwhat theanimalsdidthatnightinhergar-den.

“We went up to harvest andbring the vegetables to thehouse. There was nothing left,”said Orlando. “I stood there,laughed, and said can you imag-ine the party they threw outhere last night? That’s how thestory starts.”

This story starts with the re-release of “A garden! A gar-den!” and the newest book byOrlando: “Good Grief! Its Win-ter!” Both books are written byOrlando and illustrated byDeb-bi Kern. Orlando lives in theGreenhills community of Cin-cinnati and is also the author of“Everyone’sChild,”amemoirofher life duringWorldWar II.

DebbiKern is a retiredAme-liaElementarySchoolart teach-er who continues to use her artskills as a pet portrait artist.Bringing animals to life withpenand inkartisticdetail,Kern,who lives in Amelia, combinesher talents with the rhythm andrhyme storytelling style of Or-lando to capture the imagina-tions of young readers.

“We like going into schools,”said Kern. “That’s my back-ground. That’s my love.”

“When we go to the schools,Debbi tells the kids: ‘This ladyhasthemindofawriter,’”Orlan-do said. “When the animals de-stroyedmy garden, I got angry,she wrote a story.”

Orlando says the story actu-allywrote itselfveryquicklyaf-ter she had the idea while shelaughed in the garden thatmorning long ago.

“Iwentdowntomycomputerand the words just came out,”she said. “I did it in rhyme.”

“She’s a storyteller,” Kernsaid. “She’s got more storiesthan anyone I know.”

Orlando calls that her “see-saw” way of doing things. Shesent the manuscript out to onepublisher who waited over fourmonths before sending it backwithout comment. Sheput it in afile cabinet; where it stayed foryears. In the meantime, shewrote and published her mem-oir, “Everyone’s Child.” Shewent to a church luncheon andwanted to brag a little about hernew book.

“They passed it around andsaid‘Okay,whatareyougoingtodo next,” Orlando recalled. “Isaid ‘I have a children’s story,but I never have found an illus-trator to work with.’ I heard a

throat-clearing sound from theback of the room.”

It was Debbi Kern. They hadknown one another through thebible studygroup at church, butOrlando didn’t realizeKernwasa retired artist. They forged afriendship and business part-nership, which has already re-sulted in two books and therearemore on the way.

“It was a perfect fit for me,”saidKern. “My favorite formofart is pen and ink. I really start-ed drawing people’s pets. Itcame about when I wentthrough breast cancer in1996.”

During her cancer treat-ment, friends were all trying tokeep Kern busy. One of them

asked her to draw a portrait ofher dog. It turned into a kind ofbusiness for her.

“It becamemyfavorite thingtodo…retired,” she said. “I’mapet portrait artist. So Nancy’sstory, being all about animals,was perfect for me because Ilike drawing animals. It was aperfect fit.”

In “Good Grief! Its Winter!”theanimalstrytofigureouthowto survive in thewinter. Theuseof detailed drawings and true-to-lifefactsofwhatrealanimalswould eat in thegardenandhowthey survive real winters makethe books a hit with teachers.Theanimals speakingand inter-action when Orlando and Kerngo into the schools have madethem a hit with the kids.

“It’s been great,” Kern said.“Because it is interactive, thekidsenjoy it.They’re interestedin listening for the responsestheygettochimeinwith.There-actions have been amazing.We’ve been invited back.”

Orlando and Kern are al-ready working on a third oneabout animalmoms and babies.

UC Clermont Collegecompleted a 17,000square-foot expansion atUC East that includes anew manufacturing lab,computer-aided designand biology labs and a cy-ber café. UC East openedin 2010 and offers state-of-the-art classroomspace in the repurposedformer Ford transmis-sion plant.

In two years, the cam-pus has grown to supportacademic offerings formore than 1,200 students.This growth created areal need for better foodservice, open computerlab access and more ded-icated lab space.

Renovation of thespace in the Ford connec-torbuildingbegan in2012.This is the building thatconnects the front build-ing to the rest of the oldplant. It offered collegeofficials a perfect foot-print to set aside dedicat-edspaceforelevatedfoodservice, the computerlabs, a new manufactur-ing lab and a spacious bi-ology lab to support theAllied Health programshostedatUCEast.Addingthe biology lab eliminatesthe need to send studentsback to themain UCCler-mont Campus for thesecourses.

The centerpiece of therenovated connectorspace is the new KonnektCyber Café.

“As we designed thespace, we came up withthe idea of creating amul-tipurposecaféwherepeo-ple could go to ‘connect’with each other and ‘con-nect’ to the Internetwhilegrabbing a bite to eat. Itwas also appropriate thatthese connections werebeing made in a space in

the former Ford Connec-tor building,” said SteveYoung, assistant dean ofFacilities and TechnologyServices.

The Konnekt CyberCafé name was chosenfrom among many sub-mitted by faculty, staffand students at UC Eastduring the fall semesternaming contest.

“We wanted to have aunique spelling for theca-fé name. So we looked at

the words, Cyber and Cy-bernetics, then we wentback and looked at theGreek spelling or root ofthose terms. They arebased on theGreekwordsKyberre or Kybernan. Inkeeping with the style oftheGreekwords,wewereled to the spelling of Kon-nekt,” said Young.

The first phase of theKonnekt Cyber Café atUC East is complete withspace for students to so-

cialize, connect wireless-ly to the Internet or usethe dedicated computersanytime the campus isopen. Phase Two will in-corporate food service inthe spring.

The color scheme andphotos on the wall paytribute to the history ofthose who worked at theformer Ford Plant.

“Wewanted to design aspace that had the feel ofacomfortablecoffeeshop

yet still provided a link tothe many years of workdone there by Ford em-ployees. We know thatmany students at thatcampus are there for anentire day and vendinglevel service just doesn’tcut it. Providing food ser-vice above and beyondvending was always agoal for the UC East cam-pus,” said Young,

So much happening inFebruary! It’s HeartMonth, Lent starts, Val-entine’s Day is here andso is Presidents’ Day.

Let’sstart withsomethingfor Valen-tine’s Daysince thatis one ofmy favor-ite specialdays.When Iwas a kid,sweets

were a real treat, due inpart to Mom’s lean bud-get and her and my Dad’sdesire to feed the nine ofus children a healthydiet. So when I was 16and received my firstValentine box of candyfrommy boyfriend, Jim,I was in chocolate heav-en. I’ve gotten lots ofValentine’s treats sincethen, but none can takethe place of that firstheart of drugstore choco-lates.

Reach out this Valen-tine’s Day by remember-ing those folks whowould benefit from a funcard, a phone call or aplate of goodies.

“I love you”chocolate coveredcherries

These are amazinglyeasy to make and lookstunning in a heartshaped box. This recipeis appropriate for Presi-

dents’ Day, too. Remem-ber the story of GeorgeWashington admitting tochopping down his Dad’scherry tree because hecouldn’t “tell a lie.”

1 jar l0 oz., maraschinocherries with stems

Drain cherries very well forseveral hours. Theymustbe dry for fondant toadhere.

Fast FondantNot a true fondant, but aneasy one. You’ll havefondant leftover. Freezefondant up to amonth.

3 tablespoons butter,

softened3 tablespoons light cornsyrup

2 cups powdered sugar12 ounces or so meltedchocolate

Mix butter and syrup,then mix in powderedsugar. It will look a bitdry but will come togeth-er as you knead itsmooth. If too soft tohandle, chill for 15 min-utes. (Mixture can alsobe made a week aheadand brought to roomtemperature). Shape 1⁄2 tol teaspoon mixture

around each cherry, fit-ting the fondant closelyto the cherry, enclosingthe base of the stem aswell. Roll in your palmsto smooth fondant. Placeon baking sheet and chilluntil firm. This is neces-sary for the chocolate toadhere. Melt chocolate.Let cool a bit – chocolatewill be still be warm andvery liquid. Dip cherryinto chocolate. Seal com-pletely or juice couldleak out. Place onsprayed baking sheet.Chill until firm.

To store: Store in

tightly covered containerin frig. Bring to roomtemperature before eat-ing.

Cake pops: Recipe onmy blog. Fun for kids.Check out photo ofgrandson, Jack, deco-rating cake pops hemade.

Heart healthyvegetarian redbeans and rice

When you pair ricewith beans, you have anice, protein filled dish.Try brown rice which isnutritionally better thanwhite. It will take longerto cook, and is absorbedmore slowly in your sys-tem you feel full longer.

1generous cup choppedonion

1generous teaspoon garlic,minced

1-2 teaspoons cumin1 teaspoon chili powder ormore to taste

2 cups rice2 cans, approx. 16 ouncesea., red beans, drained

4 cups low sodium, fat freevegetable or chickenbroth

Salt and pepper to tasteGarnish: Thinly sliced green

onions, chopped tomatoes

Film bottom of panwith olive oil. Add every-thing but beans andbroth. Cook over mediumheat until garlic smellsfragrant. Don’t let onionsand garlic get brown. Stirin beans and broth. Coverand lower to a simmerand cook until rice istender.

Tip from Rita’s kitch-en: Beans are calledcancer-licking legumes –high in fiber and proteinand low in fat.

What about salt? Toomuch is bad for theheart! Himalayan pinksea salt is my salt ofchoice. Absolutely pure,sans toxins or any otherbad stuff, unlike othersalts that we commonlyuse. Check out my blogfor timely info on thispretty and tasty salt.

Cincinnati Nature Cen-ter is the recipient of a$50,000 Eco Grant awardfrom the 3M Corporation.This gift will supportCNC’s innovative schoolprogram in 2013, whichwill serve about 4,000 stu-dents in grades kinder-garten through eighth.

“Every child shouldhave the opportunity fordirect, hands-on experi-ence in nature,” said BillHopple, CNC executivedirector. “Engagement innature can enhance theeducational experiencefor life, producing betterstudents and future na-ture enthusiasts.”

Researchsuggests thatstudents who spend regu-lar time outdoors tend tobe more creative and bet-ter problemsolvers. In ad-dition, when the naturalenvironment is integrat-ed into all aspects of a

school curriculum, stu-dents show an increase inreading, math, scienceand social studies testscores. To that end, CNC’sschool program providesa range of nature experi-ences for both students

and teachers, including:Nature immersion fieldtrips, in-school presenta-tions, teacher naturetraining and retreats, aswell as collaborative pro-fessional developmentopportunities.

NON-DENOMINATIONAL

Why would someonesend a check for severalthousand dollars to atotal stranger?

Although it soundscrazy, it happens everyday. But if you get onethose checks and depositit you could end up los-ing thousands of dollars.

Sending checks tostrangers has been goingon for years with thesender giving a widevariety of reasons forthe check. But all thesescams have one thing incommon – the checksthey send you are phonyand the money you are tosend them will be real.

Katelin Willman ofBrookville received oneof these checks after sheadvertised for a job onthe Internet.

“I’ve received severaldifferent job offers.Most of them seem to bescams but this one inparticular told me Icould advertise on mycar so it seemed reallygood, easy money. All Ihave to do is drive

around,”Willmansaid.

Willmantold thatemailershe wasinterested.

“All of asudden hesent me acheck in

the mail for more than$2,400. The job offer wasonly for like $300. Itseemed a little fishy tome and that’s when Icontacted you,” Willmansaid.

I asked if she wassupposed to keep theextra $2,100 as somekind of advance on hersalary, but she said no.Willman said she wastold, “Put it in my bankaccount, then get a mon-ey order for the extramoney and send it out.”

“The check lookedlegitimate and real but itjust sounded weird,”Willman said.

Another sign this wasa scam is the sender

didn’t enclose the plac-ard with the ad that wasto be placed on the sideof her car. All she re-ceived was the phonycheck. It seems veryclear all the sender wasinterested in was themoney.

When Willmanemailed the sender say-ing she knew it was ascam, he wrote back.

“He said the FBI wasafter me because Icashed their check and Ibetter send the money orelse they’re going tocome after me… Thesad thing is a lot of peo-ple are going to fall for itand they’re going to havetheir bank accountsdrained,” Willman said.

Unfortunately, Will-man is correct; a lot ofpeople have fallen forthis scam. In fact, theFederal Trade Commis-sion says fake checksare being used in a grow-ing number of fraudu-lent schemes, includingsecret shopper scams,foreign lottery scams,check overpaymentscams and Internet auc-tion scams.

That’s why, eventhough it cost the scam-mer nearly $19 for ex-press mail postage inWillman’s case, he canafford to pay it. Hesends out lots of thesephony checks and, evenif only a handful of re-cipients fall for thescam, he can make a lotof money.

Sometimes the phonychecks look like legiti-mate cashier’s checks orpostal money orders, butthey are never real. Inall cases you are told todeposit the check intoyour bank account. Thenyou must send them yourgood money via WesternUnion or Money Gram –and that money can’t betraced. In fact, thethieves can pick up themoney at just about anylocation, often outsidethe United States.

Phony checks cantake weeks to discoverand you are responsiblefor any funds you with-draw from the bankagainst that check. Re-member, once you signthe back of a check anddeposit it, the bank willhold you responsible ifthat check doesn’t clear.

Howdy folks,Last week we had

popcorn one evening.After Ruth Ann poppedthe corn, I thought of adog we had that lovedpopped corn. When Iwould pop it - this wasbefore microwaves anddone in a pan - I wouldburn the corn. The dogdidn’t like it, so when wewere going to have pop-corn, the dog didn’t wantme to pop it. It is amazinghow animals know somuch. People say animalsare dumb, not so, theyare very smart.

This cat of ours,“Chessy,” proved this tous. When we are gettingready for bed, she will goget in her chair that shesleeps in, and there she isthe next morning. She issuch a blessing. An ani-mal seems to know if aperson likes them or not.When Tony and Kate arehere, Chessy will get inTony’s lap and wantssome petting. Otherfolks, she will run andhide. She doesn’t like thesnow, and doesn’t want toget her feet wet and cold.She will set on a flowerstand by our kitchentable and look out thewindow. When we arewatching television, shewill jump onmy lap thenjump down, run to thedoor. If I don’t get up, shewill come back and do itagain until I let her out.Last week there was abig flock of grackle birdsat the feeders. She waslooking out the window,then wanted out to try tocatch one of them. WhenI opened the door, theyflew, but Chessy ran towhere they were. I don’t

think shecould catchone, butyou neverknow, sheis fast.

In thisweather,the birdfeedersneed to befilled quite

often. The suet blocks weand everyone has need tobe kept out for the birds.The items in the suetblocks sure have heatenergy for the birds. Thewoodpeckers are sureworking on ours. We hadsome crackers that werestale, so we put them outfor the birds and a couplecrows sure liked them.Everything has to eat tosurvive. The deer aredigging in the snow inour yard trying to findsome grass to eat. Theyare eating on the yuccaplants along our drive-way. These plants aresure tough.

I talked to Mike at theBoars Head Bait Shop.He said a few folks werefishing. Some went downto the Ohio River to fishfor sauger, but the riverwas too high. Last Sat-urday was the last dayfor deer hunting. Therabbit season is still openfor hunting. Some folksare hunting for coyotes.This group seems to begetting bigger each year.I was talking to a farmerthat feeds cattle outsidewith hay. He said he hasseen several deer eatinghay with the cattle. Thedeer have to have food,too. He said some of thebucks have lost one oftheir antlers, some have

lost both. So he said hewould start looking fortheir antlers in his fields.Some farmers have hadflat tires on their tractorsdue to running over adeer antler and that isexpensive. So they willbe on the lookout for theantlers. When some arefound, there are markson the antler where micehave been chewing onthem.

Last week we went tothe Senior Citizens boardmeeting. The servicesthat this organizationdoes for our seniors iswonderful. There are allkinds of services, andduring this cold weather,please keep a check onyour neighbors.

We have started prun-ing the grape harbor andfruit trees. We are put-ting fertilizer on theasparagus beds, fruittrees and berry vines,and getting the raisedbeds ready to fertilizethem. The green onionsare still looking goodsticking up through thesnow.

Last Friday we hadlunch with our friends,Mort and Barb. We allmet at the Golden Corralto eat. This is a goodplace to eat, but a fellercan eat too much.

Remember the BethelLions Club PancakeBreakfast is Saturday,Feb. 16, from 7:30 a.m. til10:30 a.m. at the Bethel-Tate High School.

Mark your calendarfor the Buford FarmersInstitute Feb. 22, the lastFriday of the month. Wealways take an item toauction off to help themkeep having this pro-

gram. They will havefood from 4 p.m. til 6 p.m.and then the programstarts at 7 p.m. with someentertainment, the prizeawards and auction.Come and enjoy. We havea banner that was auc-tioned off on the 100-yearanniversary. I think Dan-ny Hess was the one thatauctioned it. The HessAuction firm have beenthe firm that has donethis for years.

This is a little early,but mark your calendarsfor an Easter Cantata atthe Bethel United Meth-odist Church by the Com-munity Choir. We havebeen practicing this forthe last couple weeks.The name is “Upon thisRock.” It will be donePalm Sunday, March 24,in the evening. This willbegin the Holy Weekservices here in Bethel,so come early, there willbe a big crowd.

From left are: Rotary presidentMichael Enriquez, CNE High School Principal John Eckert,Dorsey and Batavia Rotary Student of the MonthCoordinator Ed Nurre. PROVIDED Recently, LaRosa’s

Pizzeria asked teammembers in all of its lo-cations to submit menuideas or recipes to bejudged in the inaugural“LaRosa’s Next NewRecipeChallenge.”Withmore than 120 entriesfrom which to choose,Mark LaRosa, presidentand chief culinary offi-cer, and LaRosa’s MenuAdvisory Team selectedwinners based on over-all fit with the LaRosa’smenu, use of quality in-gredients, overall taste,preparation and presen-tation. Four winnerswere chosen, with eachreceiving a cash prize.

Matt McGrath, amanager at LaRosa’sAmelia pizzeria and anAmelia resident, tied forthird prize in the con-test.

After serving nearlytwo years as a managerin Amelia, McGrathknowsthe insandoutsofLaRosa’smenuandfeelsat home in the kitchen

stocked with fresh in-gredients. Spendingnearly 50 hours in thekitchen each week andeating lunch in the res-taurant, McGrath oftenfinds himself experi-menting with existingmenu items. His third-place recipe, a ZestyBBQ Chicken Hoagy,was inspired by theZesty BBQ Chicken Piz-za, which includesgrilled chicken, provo-lone cheese, jalapenos,pickles and Montgome-ry Inn barbeque sauce.McGrath used a hoagybun with the thoughtthat it is an easier mealfor lunch than a wholepizza. McGrath submit-ted eight recipes, simi-larly adding interestingtwists to other existingmenu selections.

While the $500 cashprize made his effortworthwhile, McGrathappreciated the cre-ative challenge – hehopes to own his ownrestaurant.
