AC Lockdown owners Mary andRussell Durbin build and sell

cages to protect air conditioningunits from copper thieves.

GOSHEN TWP. - Officials hope to raisesome extra money by selling a number of sur-plus fire department items online.

“I’m continuing to look for any way possi-ble to increase revenue and get rid of thingslying around,” said Fire Chief Steve Pegram.

The township trustees Sept. 27 approved alist of items to be sold on the website -www.govdeals.com.

“Over the past two years we have beendoing extensive cleaning, repairs and reorgan-ization at the fire station after years of neg-lect,” Pegram said. “Several of these items areno longer needed or have been sitting unusedfor many years so it is our intention to use theauction to clean up our station as well as raisesome revenue.”

The items for sale include:• An air cascade system and bottles.• A spare power cord with reel and light

box.• A DVD player.• A microwave oven.• Six pair of medical anti-shock trousers.• A thermal imaging camera (inoperable).• A floor buffer.• An air compressor.• Two four-drawer file cabinets.• Three two-drawer file cabinets.• A Ricoh copier.• A mobile TV cart.• A television set.• A lawn mower.• A top-load washing machine.Also on the list presented by Pegram was

an Allis Chalmers lawn tractor with acces-sories.

However, Trustee Ray Autenrieb suggestedthe township look into the possibility of donat-ing the lawn tractor to the park district to usefor mowing.

Pegram said the lawn tractor overheats andneeds to be repaired.

The trustees passed a resolution offering thepark district the right of first refusal for thelawn tractor. If the park district board does notwant the tractor, then it will be declared sur-plus and sold at auction with the other items.

Pegram said he expects the sale of all theitems except the lawn tractor to raise between$2,000 and $3,000.

If the tractor is not donated to the park dis-trict and sold online, it is expected to bring inbetween $5,000 and $6,000, he said.

Goshen to sell surplus items


GOSHEN TWP. - The Goshenfirefighters union is partneringwith the Goshen BP station for afund-raiser to benefit the fire andEMS equipment fund.

Off-duty firefighters will be col-lecting donations at the BP station,6778 Goshen Road, from 10 a.m.to 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8, andnoon to 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 9.

One of the pieces of equipmentthat may be purchased with thefund is an all-terrain vehicle(ATV) for use by the fire depart-ment.

Fire Chief Steve Pegram toldthe township trustees at theSept. 27 meeting the vehicle wasneeded for rescue and firefight-ing in remote, wooded areas of

the township.But because of limited funds in

the fire department budget, thefirefighters union agreed to raisefunds to buy the ATV and thendonate it to the department.

Pegram said the ATV will cost$15,000, including the cost ofoutfitting it with firefighting andrescue equipment and buying atrailer to haul the vehicle.

Pegram said the need for anATV first became apparent to himabout a year ago when a hunterdied in a remote area of the town-ship.

“We couldn’t get him out of thewoods,” Pegram said. “We had tocall in a neighboring department.”

He said the ATV also could beused on the nature trail thatrecently opened next to Goshen

High School.Trustee Bob Hausermann said

the township made some moneyfrom the recent sale of a laddertruck that could be used to helpbuy the ATV.

“I’m not opposed to making alarge purchase from that money,”Hausermann said. “If the fund-raiser doesn’t produce what wehope, I don’t want the project toodie. It (the ATV) is a needed pieceof equipment.”

Trustee Jack Kuntz suggestedthe fund-raiser not be limited tojust the ATV purchase.

“Say this is a fund-raiser forthe fire department,” Kuntz said.

Ed Meyer, owner of the GoshenBP, said that in addition to themoney the firefighters raised, hewould donate to the fund five per-

cent of all fuel sales made duringthe fund-raiser.

“I’ve been aware of the specificequipment needs (of the firedepartment) for quite some time,”Meyer said. “I felt compelled tohelp come up with the funds toaccomplish this task.”

Meyer said firefighters will bewashing windows for customersand giving away hot dogs for any-one who donates to the fund.

“I hope we raise a lot of moneyfor the firefighters,” he said.

Brian Broyles, president of theunion, said tax-deductible dona-tions also can be mailed to:Goshen Professional Firefighters,IAFF Local 3932, PO Box 228,Goshen, OH 45122.

CLERMONT CO. – Resi-dents in Eastgate Village,Remington Lake and GreenAcres mobile home parksdon’t have to worry aboutlosing their water just yet.

The Clermont CountyWater Resources Depart-ment issued shut-off notices

to residents in July becausethe property owner – Mid-west Heritage Management– owes more than$100,000 in delinquentwater and sewer bills. Thewater was supposed to beturned off Oct. 1.

Clermont County Assis-tant Prosecutor ElizabethMason said the residentsfiled a class action lawsuitagainst the property ownerin late August. That lawsuitincludes a temporaryrestraining order that keepsthe county from turning offthe water.

“The tenants pay rentand the water is supposed tobe included,” she said.“They are paying the rent,so why are the bills so far inarrears? That’s why thecourt is involved.”

The lawsuit also dictatesthat, for now, residents paytheir rent to the ClermontCounty clerk of courts,Mason said.

“The county and theplaintiffs also are asking

that a receiver be appointed.A receiver would take overmanagement of the parks –we have health districtissues with those propertiestoo,” Mason said.

A hearing on the casewas scheduled for Sept. 19in the Clermont CountyCourt of Common Pleas.

Aside from what thecourts decide, the ClermontCounty commissionersvoted Sept. 14 to certify$45,881 in sewer chargesand $67, 573 in watercharges to the Heritageproperties’ taxes. GreenAcres and Remington Lakeare both in Miami Town-ship. Eastgate Village is inPierce Township.

“We are sort of in limbobecause of the lawsuit, butat the moment we are pro-ceeding with our normalpractice of putting those(charges) on the taxes,”said County AdministratorDavid Spinney.

The phone numbers list-ed for both Heritage Man-

agement Group and Hol-brook & Associates havebeen disconnected and anemail message has not beenreturned. Heritage propertymanager Dan Davis previ-ously said the company wasworking to pay the bills.

“This has been a veryhard time for the company,but we are working to get itresolved,” he said inAugust.

Based on the number ofshut-off notices sent, it’sestimated that there areabout 340 total occupiedhomes in the three parks.Clermont County BudgetDirector Sukie Scheetz said540 shut-off notices weresent and about 200 of thosewere returned.

Heritage also is involvedin a class action lawsuit filedby the residents of ComptonHills in Hamilton County.That case is ongoing.

“We’ve been wanting anATM for a while. We can’ttake credit cards and thereare many times when cus-tomers come to the BMV,they get the transactiontaken care of, but they don’thave cash or a check to pay.This is just a matter of cus-tomer service,” Fraley said.

Fraley said they also arehoping to get an ATM forClermont County Clerk ofMunicipal Court Tim Rudd’soffice in Batavia Township.

The ATMs will be at nocost to the county, but cus-tomers will pay a $1.75 fee

to make a withdraw. Com-mon Pleas Clerk of CourtsBarb Wiedenbein said theycould have charged moreand kept the additional rev-enue, but that wasn’t some-thing she or Fraley wereinterested in.

“We really just want toprovide this service morethan anything - times arebad enough as it is, so wedidn’t want to charge anadditional fee,” Wiedenbeinsaid. “We have people whocome in and they just don’tdeal with cash anymore.Some even get upset thatwe don’t already have anATM.”

Clermont County Com-missioner Ed Humphreysaid getting ATMs in theseoffices has been on theradar for a while.

“We’ve been looking atthis for a long time, proba-bly since I became a com-missioner (in 2008.) Thiswill allow people to paytheir necessary bills moreconveniently … I think thisis an important service forthe county,” he said.

The contract for theATMs will be from Oct. 1,2011, through Sept. 30,2014.

MIAMI TWP. – Twotownship firefighters wereparticipants in federal assis-tance teams sent to the EastCoast when Hurricane Irenestruck.

Lt. Barry Mesley wassent as part of an 80-mem-ber Ohio Task Force Oneteam, which is trained torespond to disasters.

Joe Stoffolano, a part-time firefighter with MiamiTownship and full-time fire-fighter with Delhi Township,also was deployed to Irene,but as part of another assis-tance team associated withthe U.S. Department ofHealth and Human Ser-vices.

There are four MiamiTownship firefighters whoare part of Ohio Task ForceOne, but Mesley was theonly member chosen torespond to Irene.

“I was lucky enough togo,” said Mesley, who hasbeen a member of Ohio TaskForce One about nine years.

The other Miami Town-ship firefighters on the teamare Bill Richardson, JeffChilders and Lee Hines.

Mesley is trained as ahazardous material techni-cian, but on this trip hewent as a truck driver.

The team was activatedAug. 26 and its memberssworn in as temporary fed-eral employees, part of theFederal Emergency Man-agement Agency (FEMA).

The team is a state assetand also responds to statedisasters, but can be acti-vated by the federal govern-ment when needed, Mesleysaid.

“We do things beyondthe capabilities of most nor-mal rescue teams,” he said.

The team left DaytonAug. 26 and headed eastwith a convoy of trucks andbuses.

“Our purpose was toarrive ahead of the stormand be ready to mobilize,”Mesley said.

They arrived in New Jer-sey Aug. 27 and were sentto Lakehurst Naval Air Sta-tion, the site of the famous1937 Hindenburg airshipcrash.

“I saw the marker in thefield where the Hindenburgcrashed,” Mesley said.

The team spent the nightin an old mess hall on the

base as theh u r r i c a n epassed over.

“ T h ewinds werenot as badas theyt h o u g h tthey wouldbe,” he said.“We wereabout 10 to15 milesfrom thecoast.”

He saidthere was alot of rain

but very little wind damagein New Jersey.

The next day, Aug. 28,the team members packedup their gear and movednorth to New York, wherethere were reports of flooddamage.

“Because of the storm,roads were blocked andwashed out,” Mesley said.“We had to take a 200-miledetour. Instead of a two-hour trip, it took six hours.It was not an easy trip.”

They got to Stewart AirNational Guard base inNewburgh, N.Y., where theyslept in sleeping bags in ahangar.

The next day, Aug. 29,they drove through theCatskill Mountains toSchoharie County, N.Y.,where they set up their baseat the county fairgrounds.

As a truck driver, Mes-ley’s job was to stay at thecamp and take care of logis-tical needs, like going outand getting supplies.

“The jobs are divided upin the team,” he said.“There is a lot of back sup-port going on so the guysdoing the rescue work canconcentrate on the rescuemission.”

Mesley didn’t go out onany rescue missions himselfthis time, though he has inthe past, including afterHurricane Rita in Texas in2005.

“The younger guysneeded the experience,” hesaid. “My job was supportthis time. My turn willcome.”

The rescue members ofthe team flew out in heli-copters on several missionsto do searches and damageassessments.

Although there were nolife-threatening situations,the team members did findseveral people who had

been reported missing.“Everybody did a good

job and worked well togeth-er,” Mesley said. “Peoplethanked us for coming tohelp them.”

Mesley saw somewashed out roads andbridges on the trip.

At one damaged bridge,the convoy had to go overone truck at a time.

The team broke campand headed back to OhioAug. 31, staying that nightat a hotel in Buffalo, N.Y.

“It was nice. I got ashower,” Mesley said.

They arrived back inDayton Sept. 1.

Stoffolano, who hasworked for the MiamiTownship department since2008 and the Delhi Town-ship department since2006, was sent to Connecti-cut as part of a DisasterMedical Assistance Teamfrom Northern Kentucky.

He said the teamincludes people with differ-ent specialties who providemedical assistance in disas-ters.

His specialties are as aparamedic and providinglogistical support.

The Northern Kentuckyteam included 36 memberswho traveled to Hartford,Conn., in advance of thestorm.

“There was some flood-ing there, but not a lot ofmedical needs,” Stoffolanosaid. “But we were alwaysready.”

The trip provided theopportunity for the team todo a lot of training.

“We had training everyday. It was really valuable,”he said.

The team ended up stay-ing in Connecticut five days.

Fire Chief Jim Whitworthsaid having firefightersserve on special responseunits is valuable to thedepartment.

“I have a longtime com-mitment to special teams ingeneral,” he said.

Whitworth said the teammembers bring back valu-able training that can beapplied in local situations.

“It’s also part of givingback to the greater commu-nity,” he said. “We hope weget the same kind of helpwhen we need it.”

MILFORD - When Mil-ford Police Chief Jamey Millstook over the department inMarch, he wanted to focuson a few specific things.One of those things wascommunity block watches.

“We had some on thebooks, but they weren’tactive,” he said. “I recognizethat block watches are agreat way for us to commu-nicate with our citizens a lit-tle more effectively and effi-ciently.”

Mills, along with officersMegan Bovenzi, Kris Melland Adam Yeary, used indi-vidual contact with thecommunity to generateinterest in the block watchprogram. Now the city hassix watches up-and-running

including one at each of thefollowing Apple Lane, Resi-dence of Milford (formerEdgecombe Gardens), Oak-wood Apartments, with theHistoric Milford Association,East Milford and the Stoner-idge/Treeridge area. A sev-enth program is pending inClertoma.

“Most of the watches wehave right now were bornout of a specific complaint –usually a quality of lifeissue. We responded for thatspecific problem and talkedto the residents about howwe can work together,”Mills said. Some of thosecatalysts included parkingissues, garbage pickers andnoise violations.

Mills wants residents toknow that a block watch isnot what you see in themovies - there’s no one res-

ident sitting in front of a dis-play of surveillance footageand members don’t have tobe monthly meetings unlessthey want to.

“It’s not like that at all.Being part of a block watchjust means you are keepingan eye on your communityand you have an officerassigned to your neighbor-hood,” Mills said. “It’s allabout getting to know yourneighbors and the policedepartment.”

Mell, who is leading anumber of the programs,said the block watches alsoare an important part ofkeeping the police in theloop.

“People need to knowthat just because somethingseems minor doesn’t meanyou shouldn’t call thepolice. If someone is rum-

maging through your car,even if nothing is stolen,talk to your neighbors andcall us,” he said.

“Block watches also helpus with prevention. If weknow you have a concernor you tell us somethingisn’t right in your neighbor-hood, we can drive throughyour neighborhood a littlemore and take care of itquickly.”

“We want our residentsto call us. Sometimes it’s anuisance situation - maybeit’s not something we canmake an arrest for - but wecan work together to fix thesituation,” Mills said.

If you are interested inbeing part of a block watchor if you would like to startone in your neighborhood,contact the police depart-ment at 248-5084.

MIAMI TWP. – For SteveBurgess, school resource officer atLive Oaks Career Campus, the jobis all about “being there for thekids.”

“They (the students) under-stand I’m here for them,” saidBurgess, who has been theresource officer at the school for11 years.

“Even after graduation, theycome back and talk,” Burgesssaid. “That’s why I love this job.”

Burgess joined the MiamiTownship Police Department in1997, having previously workedin law enforcement in the Daytonarea.

He started out as a patrol offi-cer, but when the resource officerposition at Live Oaks opened up,

Burgess said he would “give it atry.”

“It’s been very rewarding to getto help young people, to get to be

a mentor,” he said of the job. “It’sgood for them to see a police offi-cer in a different light – as some-one they can talk to.”

Burgess said the kids at LiveOaks are there because they wantto get their career going.

“These kids in my opinion arereally good kids,” he said. “We’rehere to help them, not arrestthem.”

Drug possession is one of themost common reasons studentsget in trouble at the school.

“If a kid gets caught withdrugs, we have to figure out howto help him,” he said.

Burgess tries to get the studentin a program that will address hisproblem.

“I’m going to treat them likeadults, but with that comesresponsibility. Kids want to betreated as adults,” he said.

Burgess has an office at theschool, but spends a lot of timejust walking the halls, talking tothe kids informally.

He also has formal classroomsessions where he talks about top-ics such as safe driving, the effectof drugs on the brain, bullyingand how to interact with policeofficers.

Joe Moon, assistant dean atLive Oaks, said Burgess adds tothe safety and security studentsfeel.

“What makes Steve good is therelationship he has with stu-dents,” Moon said. “He is able toprevent a lot of issues.”

Burgess recently received TheOhio School Resource OfficersAssociation’s Lifetime Achieve-ment Award.

Burgess has been active in theassociation since its formation and

has served as its president.Even as budgets are cut, more

and more schools are seeing theneed for resource officers, he said.

“It’s important to have some-body at the school,” he said.

Burgess said the associationconducts training for resource offi-cers and other school staff mem-bers.

There are more than 700school resource officers in Ohio.

Burgess grew up in the Daytonarea and now lives in WarrenCounty with his wife and threechildren.

His outside interests includecoaching youth sports, beinginvolved with his church and golf.

STONELICK TWP. - ClermontNortheastern Elementary School’sannual walk-a-thon fundraiser isexpected to raise close to $10,000 thisyear.

Walk-a-thon organizer Meg Portersaid the goal was $10,000 and, as ofthe event date Sept. 30, they hadraised about $8,600. Since the stu-dents didn’t have to turn in theirmoney until the following week,Porter was hopeful.

“They still have time to turn the

money in, so I’m being optimistic thatwe can meet our goal,” Porter said.

All of the money raised for thewalk-a-thon goes directly to the ele-mentary school. This year it will beused to upgrade and purchase tech-nology for the school and pay for stu-dent incentives, Porter said.

Students who participated in thewalk-a-thon got a giant Pixy Stix.Those who met certain monetarygoals were either eligible for donutswith the principal or lunch with theprincipal. The top fundraiser also willget to pie Assistant Principal ValDavis.

MIAMI TWP. - All students atLive Oaks Career Campus this yearwere issued netbook computers touse with their classes.

The students will be responsi-ble for the computers 24 hours aday and can take them home.

They must turn them in at theend of the year, said Joe Moon,assistant dean at Live Oaks.

The netbooks made by Acer aresmaller versions of a regular lap-top computer.

“The teachers are integratingthem with their classes and com-ing up with new ways to teach,”Moon said.

Dan Cox, dean at Live Oaks,said each student’s computer iscustomized for his classes.

Textbooks and links to online

learning resources are available onthe netbooks.

“For instance, the pre-engi-neering students have linksloaded for sites they frequentlyuse,” he said.

Loading the textbooks on thenetbooks allows the school to cutdown on the cost of traditionaltextbooks.

“Textbooks are very, veryexpensive,” Cox said.

The school has not gotten rid oftraditional textbooks completely,but that is the goal, he said.

“That is still a few years off,”Cox said.

The netbooks have a programcalled Blackboard that allowsteachers and students to commu-nicate about assignments outsideof class.

“The student can communicatewith the class even if he is not

there,” Cox said.The netbooks give students

access to email and the Internet,but there are restrictions on usingthe technology.

“That’s a little harder to controlwhen they take the netbookshome,” Cox said. “We teach stu-dents to use the technologyresponsibly.”

Because some parents prefertheir children not bring the net-books home, there is to option ofdropping them off in the afternoonand picking them up the nextmorning, he said.

Jon Weidlich, community rela-tions director for the Great Oakscampuses, said the program begantwo years ago at the Laurel Oakscampus in Wilmington.

“It was the ideal pilot programbecause it is the smallest campus,”he said.

Last year the program wasextended to the Diamond Oakscampus in Cincinnati. This year,the two remaining campuses –Live Oaks and Scarlet Oaks inCincinnati – got the computers.

At $600 each, it cost the GreatOaks system about $1.7 million toprovide netbooks for 2,800 stu-dents at four campuses.

Weidlich said the price tagincludes software for the net-books.

He said the school systembought higher-end netbooks thathave better memory and program-ming than models that can be pur-chased at retail stores.

“We decided to do that so wecould get four years of life out ofeach one,” Weidlich said.

He said the purchase was putout for competitive bid, and thelowest bid was chosen.

In the past, the schools hadlarger laptops available in theclassroom for use by students.

Those laptops were becomingobsolete and needed to bereplaced, Weidlich said.

Rather than replace the larger,more expensive laptops, it wasmore cost-effective to buy the net-books, he said.

“We had money allocated inthe general fund to replace thelaptops,” Weidlich said.

The student is responsible forthe netbook if it is lost or broken.

Parents are given the opportu-nity at the beginning of the yearto buy an inexpensive insurancepolicy to cover the replacementcost.

MILFORD – It’s fair to sayGary Tameris has earned the rightto be proud.

He started the swimming pro-gram at Milford High School in1989; water polo followed in1990.

A little more than two decadeslater the Swimming Eagle boysand girls water polo teams rankamong the state’s best.

“It’s taken us a long time to getto this point,” Tameris said.“When we started out, it wasrough, rough going.”

The girls team went 3-29 in itsfirst three seasons. It took sevenyears of losing before the pro-gram’s first winning record. Com-pare that to the 2011 squad,which took a 20-6 record into lastweekend, looking to improve onlast year’s fourth-place finish inthe state tournament.

The boys team, meanwhile, isseeking its fourth straight appear-ance in the state final four. Theprogram celebrated its 300th winlast month.

But it wasn’t always that way.Milford’s first two seasons pro-duced a total of one win.

“Our aquatics program herehas excelled,” Tameris said.“Water polo here is a tool forswimming, and swimming is atool for water polo. They go handin hand.”

Tameris credited the improvedyouth programs, as well as theathletes’ commitment to year-round training.

“The dedication they put into

it is producing the results you seehere now,” Tameris said.

The teams celebrated SeniorNight last week with home winsagainst Princeton, Sept. 27. It wasa lengthy pre-game ceremonybecause both Milford teams areheavy on upperclassmen.

The boys squad features eightseniors – Nick Brown, Alex Frank,Zak Woodson, Thomas Prus, BeauRobinson, Jon Wood, AndrewMcDarty and David Matulis. Theyare trying to become the first classin the program’s history to reachthe state final four in all four of

their high school seasons.“It’s a major asset,” Tameris

said. “You’ve got guys out therewith all that experience undertheir belt, it produces a season likewe’ve got.”

The Eagles are 32-4, seededsecond in the South region.

Co-captains Matulis and Frankhave been team leaders. Matulis,an all-state pick last year, is theteam’s leading scorer, whileTameris said Frank leads in assistsand steals.

The girls team also relies on itseight seniors - Madison Bowling,Sydney Laskarzewski, KendallKehr, Jordan Rendell, Julia Prus,Kayla Villano, Mariah Hudsonand Aleeyse Utech. Prus was afirst-team all-state selection lastseason, while Utech was secondteam. Sophomores Carolyn Storchand goalie Sage Foote also haveplayed key roles.

Both the Milford boys and girlsteams play in the regional tourna-ment, Oct. 14 and 15, at MasonHigh School. The top two teamsadvance to the state final four,played Oct. 21 and 22, also atMason.

Members of the Milford High School girls water polo team leap into the pool before their match against Princeton, Sept. 27, at Milford.


The second half provedthe undoing for local highschool football teams in

week six. Clermont North-eastern, Goshen and Milfordall lost games that wereclose at halftime, Fridaynight, Sept. 30.

Amelia 28, CNE 20Amelia beat CNE 28-20

in a game heavy on passingproficiency. CNE juniorquarterback Derrik Schmidt

threw for a career-high 262yards and three touch-downs to keep the Rockets(2-4) in the game.

“They took away ourrun,” CNE head coach JasonConley said.

“So we had to try topass. Fortunately for us wewere able to throw the balland get some really goodproduction out of it.”

CNE has relied on itsground attack most of theseason, led by Clay Cousi-no, Dallas Miracle andAaron Wright. But Schmidtshowed the passing game ismore than capable of mov-ing the ball.

“During the JV games(last season) he threw itreally well,” Conley said.“This week we had to throwit, and I think he got into adecent rhythm.”

Cousino was his maintarget, catching six passesfor 192 yards and threetouchdowns. Wright addedthree receptions for 62yards. Wright also was thecatalyst on defense, accord-ing to Conley.

The game was tied 14-14 at halftime. Amelia wentup eight in the third quarter,and CNE couldn’t breakthrough in the fourth quar-ter.

“I think going into thefourth quarter we werestarting to tire out,” Conleysaid.

“Amelia was big andphysical. After playing fourquarters both way, our boysstarted tiring out.”

CNE travels to WesternBrown, Friday, Oct. 7.

Western Brown 16,Goshen 13

The Broncos (4-2) arecoming off a 16-13 winagainst Goshen, Sept. 30.The loss snapped Goshen’sfour-game winning streak.

The Warriors look to getback on track Friday at EastClinton, which has onlygiven up a total of 13 pointsduring its current four-gamewinning streak.

Glen Este 42, Milford 17Milford (2-4) dropped its

Fort Ancient Valley Confer-ence opener, 42-17, to GlenEste.

The Eagles took a 10-0

lead in the second quarter,on the strength of a JohnNagle field goal and a 25-yard touchdown pass fromBryan Kerber to Ty Hein-miller.

Glen Este rallied to takethe lead, but it was still only14-10 at halftime.

The Trojans scored twotouchdowns to take controland never looked back.

Kerber threw for 135yards and two TDs in theloss. Rob Overbeck hadthree receptions for 57yards and a score.

We chose teaching careersknowing full well that it was notconsidered a high paying job.None of us went into the profes-sion because of money. Teachinghas never made anyone rich. Webelieve the same is true of thepublic employees who are still inthe workforce and who are cur-rently under attack. That is why itis so unbelievable that teachers,school bus drivers, cafeteria work-ers as well as nurses, firemen andpolicemen would be blamed forour current economic situationbecause of their “unearned highsalaries and unreasonable healthbenefits.” That is exactly what thesupporters of Issue 2 would leadyou to believe. “Spending hasgotten out of control. Local gov-ernments can’t make ends meet.Therefore, let’s make the publicservants pay.” Let’s do a realitycheck, please. These public ser-vants are responsible for protect-ing you and saving your home,taking care of you when you areill, and seeing that your childrenare educated, transported toschool as well as being fed. Doesthe government not think thatthese people are also suffering inthis economic climate? They paytaxes, too. They pay high fuelcosts for heating their homes andgetting to work each day just likeeveryone else. Yet because theyare in the public sector, Senate Bill5 was passed to make thesehomeowners and families sacrificeeven more than they already do.

Proponents of Issue 2 say thatall they want is for public employ-ees pay 10 percent of their ownretirement plan. The truth? Nine-ty-eight percent of public employ-ees already do. What Issue 2 real-ly does is take away freedoms andattain more government controlover that segment of the public -control their lives.

Any rights and/or benefits that

public employ-ees now havewere hardearned thoughthe process ofcollective bar-gaining which isa give and takeprocess. To getbetter health-care, somethingelse - usuallysalary - wassacrificed. Sen-ate Bill 5 takessome of those

negotiated items off the table.Healthcare - gone. Longevitysalary raises - gone. Some retire-ment benefits - gone. Why did ourlegislature feel that taking awaythe rights of public employees andlimit collective bargaining in thefuture was the way to savemoney? We believe the answer tothat question is that publicemployees make up one of thelargest (if not the largest) laborforces in the state. Obviously mil-lions of dollars can be saved byreaching into the employee pock-ets and robbing them of theirlivelihood. But is that fair? Is thatthe right thing to do? We say it isneither fair nor right.

We may be senior citizens, oldfogies, geezers, and perhapsdinosaurs. We were your teacherswhen you were growing up. Youtrusted us and followed ouradvice. Please do so now. TheClermont County Retired TeachersAssociation passed a motion attheir last meeting to urge every-one to vote “no” on Issue 2 thisNovember. We urge you to do soas well. In fact, we are making ityour homework assignment.

Last week’s questionDo you agree with the deci-

sion of state officials to moveOhio’s 2012 primary electionfrom Super Tuesday in March,to May? Why or why not?

“Who knows? Every statewants to position their primary tobe important. But no one can fore-see which date will be the decid-ing one.

“A few years ago Ohio movedup its primary to become moremeaningful because in previousyears the late date was, well, toolate.

“The best solution would be forthe primary dates and states bedivided in half or quarters androtate them. But that wouldrequire cooperation. Lots of luckon that.”

F.N.

“I don’t see a two-month delayof Ohio’s primary election as a bigdeal. It will give voters a littlemore time to evaluate the candi

dates, and that’s a good thing.”Bill B.

“I agree because Ohio voterscan better assess party candidatescloser to the election. Issues andevents and how candidatesrespond can determine who isbest for the next four years.”

R.V.

“I think it should stay as is. Somepeople get confused enough aboutwhen to vote. Moving the date couldjust add to that confusion.”

B.N.

When you’ve tightened yourbelt as much as you think youpossibly can and you realize it isnot enough, what do you do? Youtake a deep breath and tighten itagain. This is what we have beendoing at Clermont Senior Servicesfor the last few years.

Space does not permit adetailed accounting of the austeri-ty measures we have taken, butthe numbers tell the story.Expenses declined from 2008 to2009, declined again in 2010,and are on track to further declinein 2011. As revenues have alsodeclined during this period, weremained firmly committed to notspending money we did not have.Sound stewardship in the use ofthe dollars entrusted to us is aresponsibility we take seriously.Programs have been meticulouslyreviewed and optimized allowingus to maintain and, in somecases, even expand services.

We now face a formidablechallenge. The current seniorservices levy, which representsnearly 80 percent of our funding,will expire at the end of 2011.The five-year levy must be on theballot in November to continuefunding from 2012 through2016. The citizens of ClermontCounty have consistently sup-

ported this five-year levy cycle.However, somemay not beaware that, ifthe senior serv-ices levy doesnot pass, fund-ing will ceasefor Meals-on-Wheels, medicaltransportationand other vitalservices thathelp older adults

continue to live at home. The onlyalternative for many would beMedicaid-funded nursing homecare, which is more costly for alltaxpayers.

Our board of trustees hasrequested that the board of coun-ty commissioners place a 1.3-millrenewal levy on the Novemberballot. A renewal levy will notincrease taxes for the citizens ofClermont County.

Significant financial risks lieahead, such as rising gasolineprices. The uncertain and pro-longed downturn in the economyrequires that we deliberately andcarefully manage what we have,just as struggling familiesthroughout Clermont County mustdo.

We cannot predict that waitinglists may not be necessary atsome point in the future. But beassured, “Service with Heart” isour cornerstone, and we remainunwavering in our resolve to pro-vide high quality, cost effectiveservices that make a difference inthe lives of those we serve - justas we have done for the past 40years.

Please, join your neighborsand me. Vote for Issue 13, thesenior services levy, on Nov. 8.

It is hard to pick up a paper ormagazine without reading an arti-cle about obesity or lack of physi-cal activity in U.S. adults and chil-dren. Less is written about physi-cal activity in older adults, butphysical activity is crucial forolder adults, especially for thosewho have chronic diseases andneed to maintain their health andability to live independently.

Some older adults think theyare too old for activity to make adifference in their health, but it’snever too late to become active.Physical activity doesn’t have tobe hard, expensive, boring or timeconsuming. Many older adultshave indicated in research studiesthat they resist physical activitybecause of financial, emotionaland physical concerns. Gymmemberships can be expensivebut Clermont County has manyparks and recreational spots thatoffer free opportunities for activi-ty. No expensive workout clothesare needed to hike along trails inthe county, township and stateparks. Special clothes are notneeded for working out in thehome or for gardening or mowing

the lawn.Being physi-

cally active doesimprove overallhealth. Manyolder adults canget the recom-mended moder-ate activity levelfour or moredays a week byincorpora t ingactivity into anormal day.Parking at the

far end of the parking lot at storesor malls increases physical activi-ty and taking the stairs instead ofelevators can boost activity levels.Lifting soup cans during commer-cial breaks on TV is an easy wayto incorporate strength-traininginto the day.

Mall walking is a great way toadd activity while window shop-ping. Walking with friends helpsbuild cardiovascular health andcan help strengthen friendships aswell as boost emotional health.Tossing a baseball or football withgrandchildren is fun for adultsand children.

Gardening, yoga and Tai Chiare relaxing activities that pro-mote strength and flexibility thatwill help older adults with dailyliving activities like driving, liftinggrandchildren, shampooing hairand carrying groceries. Physicalactivity is also recommended forreducing the risk of falls in olderadults.

Seniors who are chairboundalso can greatly benefit fromincreased physical activity. Manysenior centers have chair exercisegroups and sponsor chair volley-ball classes. Flexibility andstrengthening exercises can bedone at home while seated in achair watching TV.

Not all activity has to be donefor 30 minutes at a time to offerhealth benefits. Ten minutes ofactivity several times a day offersthe same health benefits as 30-minute sessions. Once a personstarts being active, the results willbe apparent in a few weeks.

Vote for senior servicesI have never felt quite so per-

sonally involved in voting than Iam this year. Nov. 8 is extremelyimportant. I was unaware of Cler-mont Senior Services until I need-ed help. I contacted them and mylife got better.

If we do the right thing, we canbreathe easier for the next fiveyears knowing the services pro-vided by Clermont Senior Serviceswill continue. In every aspect, theservices are provided with cour-tesy, friendliness, professionalismand understanding. I am verygrateful to them.

The bus service is most appre-ciated and sorely needed by manyseniors. The professional staff atClermont Senior Services listens toseniors, knows their needs and

offers help when needed. Theirkindness has often taught us tonot be so uppity about asking forhelp, and their workers help usaccept whatever assistance weneed with grace and appreciation.God bless them all, learning to askfor and accept help is, in itself, agift for which I am grateful. Mychildren see I am much lessstressed, more energetic and hap-pier for each day.

Please vote, because we owe itto each other and to ourselves.I’m praying the services will con-tinue at Clermont Senior Services.

CSS is the best thingClermont Senior Services is the

best thing that ever happened to

me. I would not be able to stay inmy own home if it wasn’t for sen-ior services and the help they pro-vide. I’m so much more comfort-able in my own surroundingsthan a nursing home. I want tostay as independent as possible.That’s where senior servicescomes in.

They take me to my doctorappointments. They sent ahandyman to put up grab bars. Awonderful lady comes to help mewith personal needs, laundry andother household chores. We’vebecome friends and I look forwardto seeing her.

This has been a godsend tome. Please vote for the seniorservices levy Nov. 8.

TATE TWP. - For mostpeople, having thieves stealtheir property is a traumaticexperience.

For Mary and RussellDurbin it was a motivation.

In December, the air con-ditioning unit outside ahome they had bought torenovate and sellwas stolen.

So the couplecame up with anew business idea– steel cages tokeep metal thievesat bay.

And that’s howAC LockdownSecurity was born. TheDurbins sold their first cagethis spring.

Since then business hasbeen growing as the num-ber of AC thefts continues torise.

“You have no idea of thestories we hear,” said Mary.“It’s out of control and it’snot stopping anytime soon.Every single day we hear ofsomeone else beingrobbed.”

Oddly enough, a housein foreclosure that abuts theDurbins’ property was inthe process of being robbedwhen Mary and Russellnoticed an out-of-place carthere.

They came across a manand a woman breaking inand taking the AC unit.Russell, a former PierceTownship police officer,detained them until thepolice could arrive.

“It’s just another exam-ple of how it’s happeningeverywhere,” said Russell.

The Neville Freewill Bap-tist Church also had its ACunit stolen in December. Itcost the church $4,000 toreplace.

After that, the churchhad one of AC LockdownSecurity’s cages installed.

“It’s very good,” saidPastor Roger Daniel, whoworked at Sears for 25years and recently sold hisown HVAC company, of thecage.

“He uses high-qualitysteel that’s impossible to cutwith a saw blade. He took alot of care to design it tomake it service friendly,” hesaid.

The cages are built out atthe Durbins’ farm in TateTownship from welded one-and-a-quarter-inch tubesteel with a tamper-prooflock encased in heavy steel.

The standard cage size is40-by-40 inches. Customsizes – and colors – areavailable. Prices start at$795 for a standard cage.Payment plans are avail-able.

AC Lockdown Securityalso handles the installationand the cages are anchoredin 12 to 18 inches of con-crete.

“Once he puts his cage init’s impossible to steal thatunit … unless you have akey,” said Daniel. “It’s avery good investment.

SMALL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT


UNION TWP. - The Krippendorfestate, at the heart of the CincinnatiNature Center’s Rowe Woods, hasbeen added to the National Register ofHistoric Places.

The announcement came this sum-mer after an application was writtenand submitted by nature center histo-rian Jane Stotts and local historicalpreservation specialist Beth Sullebarg-er.

“This all started when Bill Hopple(CNC executive director) and I werewalking up the path to the lodge. Westarted talking about the possibility ofnominating the property for the regis-ter because the lodge is so historic. Heasked me if I would be interested indoing that and, I said I would,” Stottssaid.

The addition of the Krippendorfestate to the National Register of His-toric Places is unique because it notonly includes the lodge, but also CarlKrippendorf’s original 175 acres, allthe original buildings on those 175acres and even the land itself.

“We have a wonderful history here– even in the land,” Stotts said.“Through our research we found that60 percent of what Carl Krippendorfplanted is still here.”

Those plants range from the Eng-lish gardens on the property to thedaffodils visitors flock to the naturecenter to see each spring, said KristiMasterson, marketing and member-ship manager for the Cincinnati NatureCenter.

“CNC nominated the entire Krip-pendorf Estate rather than just thebuilding … our nomination recognizedthe unique landscape as well as theKrippendorf Lodge - very few listingsinclude the landscape,” Hopple said.

Carl Krippendorf came to ClermontCounty in 1875 after coming downwith typhoid fever at 8 years old. Thedoctors told him to move to the coun-try.

“His father put an ad in the news-paper and Dr. Spence (from Perin-town) told him to send the boy here.Young Carl found his paradise here inthe woods,” Stotts said.

Carl Krippendorf started buildinghis lodge in 1898 and he and his newwife, Mary, spent their honeymoonthere in 1900. Throughout the years,Krippendorf - the son of a successfulshoe businessman - added a watertower, maids cottage, ice house, agarage and even Clermont County’sfirst swimming pool.

Krippendorf had a lavish home, but

his real love was nature. While theCincinnati Nature Center is committedto preservation, Krippendorf spent hisdays working on landscaping. Eventoday, visitors can walk Krippendorf’soriginal trails, see his stone and plantwalls and visit his English herb gar-den, Stotts said.

“He did have landscapers, but Carldid a lot of the work himself. He wasalways outside. This was his place ofwellness,” Stotts said.

After Krippendorf died in 1964,lifelong friend and “Naturalist Afield”columnist Karl Maslowski met withStanley M. Rowe Sr. and Krippendorf’sdaughter Rosan Krippendorf Adams.They convinced Adams to sell theproperty so it could be used as anature center.

In 1967, the Cincinnati NatureCenter opened.

While Rowe Woods has grown tomore than 1,000 acres and the Cincin-

nati Nature Center’s Long BranchFarm encompasses about 600 acres,the organization is still very commit-ted to their history.

“Being on the national register isour chance to recognize our efforts forpreserving this land and the buildings.This property has an important histo-ry,” Masterson said.

Stotts wanted to thank Sullebarger,Mary Clark Stambaugh, Ric Snod-grass, Bill Creasey and Doug Kinslowfor their help on the project.

To be eligible to qualify for thenational register, a structure must bemore than 50 years old and either behistorically significant, have an asso-ciation with the lives of historicallysignificant people, have architecturalmerit or have the potential to yieldarchaeologically important informa-tion. The Cincinnati Nature Center’sapplication was reviewed by the OhioHistoric Site Preservation AdvisoryBoard and the National Park Service.

Every spring and fall, Icheck my pantry herbs andspices.

Since this time of yearmany of them go on sale,it’s a good idea to do the“sniff” test and check whichones need replacing.

Check out my blog atCincinnati.com (Cookingwith Rita) for a video onhow to buy and store dryherbs and spices.

You’ll love my tip aboutputting an “open” date onthe container.

Lottie’s easycrockpot pot roast

Lottie Hilgefort is mydaughter-in-law, Jess’, sisterand typical of a very busymom. You may recognizethis recipe as I’ve shared myversion in the past.

After making Lottie’stoday, hers is my new “goto” pot roast. It’s that good.

Lottie said: “ I adaptedthis from different recipes Iliked until I came to perfec-tion. It is so delicious andmoist. I always serve withmashed potatoes, as youhave lots of deliciousgravy.”

3-4 lb. roast (whateverlooks good and is on sale)

1 envelope beefy-oniondry soup mix

1 can cream of mush-room soup

1 soup can good redwine

3 tablespoons flour2 beef bouillon cubes

Place roast in sprayedcrockpot. Mix remainingingredients and pour over.

Cook onlow eightto 10hours.

Dutchapple piejam

T h i swould begreat witha pork

roast, or as a breakfast jam.And I’ll bet you could

melt this with some applecider or apple juice andmake a terrific topping forice cream and cake. Make itwhile apples are in season.

4 cups prepared fruit(about 1 pound GrannySmith or other tart greenapples, 1⁄2 cup raisins and 11⁄4cups water)

2 tablespoons freshlemon juice

1 teaspoon or so cinna-mon

1⁄4 teaspoon allspice1 cup firmly packed light

brown sugar4 cups granulated sugar1 box dry pectin

Peel, core and grind orfinely chop fruit. Add raisinsand water.

Measure 4 total cups intolarge pot. Stir in lemonjuice, cinnamon and all-spice. Stir pectin into fruit.Bring mixture to full rollingboil on high heat, stirringconstantly.

Quickly stir in both sug-ars. Return to full rollingboil and boil exactly oneminute, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat andskim off foam. Ladle quick-

ly into sterilized, hot jellyjars and wipe rims andthreads. Seal. Process in awater bath for five minutes.This makes the jam shelf-stable.

You can also simply cookup the jam without puttingin a water bath, and store inthe refrigerator up to threemonths or in the freezer upto nine months.

Tips from readersCrystal chili update.

From Terry, who said therecipe died with the last sur-viving family member of therestaurant “a few monthsago.”

Terry said he makes oneclose to Crystal’s and I hopehe’ll be willing to share it

with us for Connie, whorequested this heirloomfavorite.

Thirty-minute veggiesoup updated with kale andcorn. Marsha Barker mademy recipe but substitutedkale (added it at the begin-

ning of cooking time) andalso some fresh corn fromthe cob. “Everyone raved,”she said.

Granola bar nutrition.Lois Daley made the gra-nola bar recipe I put in thepaper recently and everyoneloved them, but she wantedto know if I could providenutritional information. Idon’t have software, or real-ly, the background, to dothis.

Paper bag apple pierecipe possibly not suited forsome ovens. I got a callfrom a reader who saidshe’d made this in her gasoven, but when she bakedthe pie in her electric oven,the bag caught fire.

I have made it in myelectric oven with no prob-lem, but ovens and papervaries, and I’m glad sheshared this information. Tobe cautious, make a “bag”out of parchment paper,which is totally oven proof.

Tips from Rita’s kitchenHomemade produce

wash for apples andother hard-skinned fruit.For the reader who calledand said she quit eating

apples because of the pesti-cides, etc. on them.

I know you can buy pro-duce sprays, but try thiseasy one: equal amounts ofclear vinegar and water in aspray bottle.

Spray apples and let sit aminute. Rinse well. Thevinegar helps remove pesti-cides and toxins.

Can you help?Zuppa Toscana like

Olive Garden’s. Wow, ourreaders sure like the paper.Steve Braden took his toChicago and called in whilereading it.

“I’d like a recipe similarto Olive Garden’s ZuppaToscana,” he said. Now Ihave one that I’ve devel-oped, but I’d love to shareyours, so please be willingto share if you’ve got agood recipe for this.

A nice, slow way to a very good crockpot roast

RITA HEIKENFELD/CONTRIBUTOR

After making Lottie’s easy crockpot pot roast today, hers is my new “go to” potroast. It’s that good.

As the 2011 seasonwinds down, it’s time tostart gardening for 2012!

Fall is turf time. Whatyou do to your lawn in thefall (core aerating, seeding,feeding, etc.) will be thebackbone to how well yourlawn can perform next year.

The two fall lawn feed-ings (early and late fall) arethe two most importantfeedings of the entire sea-son. And believe it or not,mid- to late-October is oneof the best time to go afterany pesky weeds in thelawn using lawn weedkillers.

Fall is the best time forplanting new trees andshrubs. Even though theirtops are shutting down forthe season, their “bottoms”keep growing. More rootsare developed during the falland early winter than anyother time of the year.

Natural rainfall helps towater our plants in, andwith the cooler tempera-tures, it’s easier on theplants, and on us as well!So fall-planted plants get ajump start on those plantednext spring.

You’ll also find many

sales in thefall to helpentice gar-deners toplant – thatmakes fall agreat time toplant andsave!

Fall isspring bulbp l a n t i n gtime. Tulips,

daffodils, crocus, hyacinths,snow drops, alliums - allthose spring bloomers areplanted now, for next year’scolors.

And by the way, be sureto plant spring floweringbulbs in containers (over-winter in unheated garageor shed) so you’ll havespring colors to enjoyindoors, on the patio, orwherever you’d like!

Fall is for composting allthose falling leaves, sea-son’s end dead foliage fromperennials and annuals(don’t use diseased foliage),left-overs from your salads,used coffee grounds andbanana peels. Grind theseall up and get them cookingin the compost pile.

Getting that pile cooking

now will have your reapingthe benefits of fine compostin 2012.

Fall is for amendingsoils. Now is the perfecttime to add larger amountsof soil amendments to thatveggie garden, annual beds,future planting areas, etc.,and till it in. Basically thesoil amendments will have6-7 months to begin tobreak down in the soilbefore it is planting time.

This is also a great timeto have your soils tested, soany needed adjustments innutrients can be made,again, getting ready for nextyear’s gardening.

So now you can see whygardening this fall reallydoes get your yard ready forgardening next spring! It’s agreat time of the year.

Don’t throw in the trow-el and hang up the shovel.Keep up the gardening.

Fall is the best time togarden for the 2012 season

About a year ago, repre-sentatives at the CincinnatiTeen Challenge centeradopted a puppy namedJoshua. Now a more than100-pound Great Pyrenees,this regal dog serves as atherapy pet for womenreceiving treatment at thecenter.

To thank the Teen Chal-lenge center for the differ-ence its programs make inthe lives of many youngpeople, Invisible Fence ofCincinnati donated an elec-tronic containment systemto the home for Joshua.Representatives from Invisi-ble Fence of Cincinnati andthe Teen Challenge centerrecently held an event at thehome to celebrate the dona-tion.

Teen Challenge Cincin-nati Men’s Ranch andWomen’s Maternity Homeare Honor Accredited resi-dential facilities within theTeen Challenge USA net-work, which is a network ofreligious-based homes forrecovering teens with drugor alcohol addiction issues.

A 501 (c) 3 organiza-tion, it is a 7- to 12-monthfaith-based, highly disci-plined educational programfocusing on men andwomen 18 to 35 years ofage. Students go throughintensive studies, receivetheir GED if necessary, par-ticipate in occupational ther-apy and receive life-equip-ping skills and job place-ment opportunities.

Joshua serves as a thera-py pet, teaching the womenat the center about responsi-

bility and caring for others.The dog also provides asense of security for thewomen.

“We are honored toreceive the Invisible Fencesystem. It’s inspiring to seea company support ourcause purely because theybelieve in what we’re doinghere,” said George Martin,executive director of TeenChallenge Cincinnati.

“When George inquiredabout an Invisible Fencesystem, we came out to cre-ate a solution for Joshua.But our visit included somuch more than that - wetoured the facility and spokewith women undergoingtreatment. We knew rightaway that this organizationwas special, and we wantedto give back,” said KerryMcManus, owner of Invisi-ble Fence of Cincinnati.

Howdy folks,I have been writing some about

my dad and mom, well, here issome about Ruth Ann’s folks. Herdad was a farmer at Dodsonville inHighland County, then a lumbersalesman. He retired as a Cler-mont County building inspectorand a good one. The builders werealways glad to see him. Her dadalso had a hardware store in New-tonsville. Ruth Ann and hermother also worked in the hard-ware store.

There was an elderly lady thatcame in each day for a creamscy-cle ice cream bar. Her dad kept icecream bars I think just for thislady of course he sold to otherpeople. Her mother was a home-maker, after Ruth Ann was inhigh school her mom worked inthe Newtonsville Post Office.

The hardware store is where Imet Ruth Ann Mattox and lovegrew from that time. Now withtwo daughters, two sons-in-law,

four grandchildren,one grandson-in-law and a greatgranddaughter thatmeeting in thehardware storewas great. I thankthe Good Lord forthat.

We finally gotto go fishing andcaught some finecrappie. Last Mon-day afternoon we

got out after the rain. I cleaned 10big crappie and 22 bluegills. Thefilet on the bluegills are not big butit is so good. Ruth Ann put thefish filets in four bags, 10 crappiefilets in each bag and 11 bluegillsin each of two bags.

The Grants Farm and GreenHouses have some beautifulpumpkins, Indian corn, mums, cutfodder and sugar corn along withother items to sell. Now writingI’m about them having mums, but

they have no dads. Ha Ha.Last Sunday the homecoming

at the old Bethel M.E. Church hereat East Fork was held. This wasthe biggest crowd we have everhad with over 90 people.

The music was provided by theKinner Express. There were ninepeople in the group that furnishedthe music. They played and sangthe well known songs and thecrowd really enjoyed singingalong with them.

Then we had the great histori-an Rick Crawford tell some of thehistory of the area. After the pro-gram there were cookies anddrinks on the lawn and folks sureenjoyed visiting with each otherand reminiscing about old times.The work on the belfry is to beginnext week. It will be good to get itrepaired and back in order.

The fishing here at East Fork isgood with lots of big crappie. Thecrappie tournament that TheBoars Head Bait Shop in Afton

held last Sunday had theseresults: The winner with sevencrappie, weighed almost 7pounds, second place was 6.5pounds. There were 20 boats inthe tournament.

The bait shop that Mike oper-ates does a great job and he runsa good crappie tournament. Hisbait shop is well known.

The deer season for bow hunt-ing came in Sept. 24 this year.They can be checked in online.Mike has helped several folks sofar.

The garden is still producing.The zucchini are going good, thetomatoes are still ripening, the let-tuce and spinach we planted issure doing good. The green beansare about ready to be picked. Ofcourse the deer have been sam-pling them that were around theoutside of the fence.

The first time we got to go fish-ing, when we came home with thepontoon, the cat, “Richoette,”

remembered last year the boatheld fish so he was ready. It isamazing how they rememberthese things. He kept meowingand following me as I got ready toget the fish out of the live well onthe boat. Ruth Ann had a pan ofwater and filet knife ready so as Iwent to the cleaning table the catkept me company and ate lots ofthe rib cages I cut out of the fish.The cat, “Dixie,” that we have hadwas 17 years old, was blind andpartially deaf, he died last week.We sure miss him. He was so lov-ing.

By the way Ruth Ann’s leg ishealing up fine. She caught thebiggest crappie.

Start your week by going to thehouse of worship of your choiceand praise the Good Lord. Godbless all. More later.

BATAVIA – As 10-year-old Bailey Miles scoops up aFrisbee thrown to him in thedriveway of his MiamiTownship home, his ownerdescribes the unique bondshe has with the mixedbreed, who is the 2011 Cler-mont County Humane Soci-ety Poster Pooch.

“Bailey is my soul mate.He is part of me. I cherishhim,” said Sue Radabaugh,who adds she remembersthe day she rescued Baileyfrom an animal shelter likeit was yesterday.

“He was only 6 to 8weeks old,” she said. “Inamed him Bailey Miles,because I bailed him out of ashelter and had to drivemiles to get him. That dog isreally something,” she said.

Bailey seems to under-stand every word Rad-

abaugh says. During arecent visit to his home, theshaggy dog lounged in arecliner watching the con-versation his owner washaving with this reporter.

As she clutched Bailey’sbaby book, Radabaugh saidshe has loved all the dogsshe’s owned but there issomething special about thisone.

“He senses things and isvery kind,” she said. “WhenI was working at SteppingStones, Bailey came withme and became greatfriends with a number ofpeople with disabilities.There was one little boythere who rarely spoke.

“One day Bailey walkedover to him and put hispaws gently on the knees ofthe boy who was confinedto a wheelchair. The boy

said ‘Dog.’ It was one of thefew words he ever said.”

The Clermont CountyHumane Society selectedBailey as the 2011 PosterPooch based on his adorablepicture and the accompany-ing write-up from his owneron why Bailey should beselected.

“Bailey is a characterand loves getting lots ofattention,” said Radabaugh.“Actually, the day of theawards ceremony naminghim Poster Pooch, we thinkhe was a little jealous thatthe second and third placedogs were getting awardstoo. He actually growled a

little. That’s so Bailey.”The Clermont County

Humane Society invites alldog owners in the county toenter their pet in the searchfor the 2012 Poster Pooch.

Details will beannounced on the websitewww.C le rmontCounty-Ohio.gov www.Clermont-CountyOhio.gov andwww.ClermontAnimalShel-ter.com in early fall.

To watch an interviewwith Sue (and Bailey) visitthe website www.clermont-countyohio.gov/video07152011bailey.aspx.

The Young Women’sChristian Association(YWCA) reports that an esti-mated one out of threeyoung people are impactedby dating violence.

“We are talking aboutpushing, slapping, threaten-ing, hitting or coercivebehavior,” said Kirstin Eis-min with the ClermontYWCA. “Now we can addcyber-abuse.”

The Clermont Countycommissioners proclaimedFebruary as Teen DatingViolence Awareness andPrevention Month, designedto increase awareness aboutthe situation.

“It is happening in everycommunity across Ameri-ca,” said Julie Pedersen,YWCA protection/educationcoordinator. “Children in

grade school have foundthemselves in abusive rela-tionships. With the prolifer-ation of sexting (sendingsexual images over cellphones), this situation hasgrown rapidly. A young girlor boy who thought theywere sending the image toone person, finds out thatperson has sent it to theentire school causing mas-sive humiliation for theyoung person. In somecases, the sexting has led tosuicide.”

“I’m really pleased to seethat our lawmakers are rec-ognizing that dating vio-lence is a growing problem,”said Eismin. “In Ohio,House Bill 19 requires pub-lic schools to incorporatedating violence into theirpolicies prohibiting harass-

ment, intimidation or bully-ing. School districts alsomust include dating vio-lence prevention educationin the health curriculum ingrades 7 through 12.”

According to the FamilyViolence Prevention Fundand Advocates for Youth,81 percent of parents sur-veyed either believe teendating violence is not anissue or admit they don’tknow if it’s an issue.

“I encourage parents totalk about it today,” saidPedersen. She said theYWCA hotline 1-800-540-4764 can help teens whoare being victimized.

She said a lot of helpfulinformation is also availableat www.LoveIsRespect.org.

Does your house have aconcrete block foundationwall? Common problemshomeowners have with thistype of foundation are hori-zontal cracks. Consult anindependent professionalengineer to determine thecause of the problem and toprovide the appropriatemethod of repair, if repair iseven necessary.

The most common causeof horizontal cracks in con-crete block foundation wallsis excessive unbalanced soilpressure. This type ofmovement will have hori-zontal cracks that mayoccur near the center of thewall or nearer to the top ofthe wall. Sometimes, thesoil pressure may shear thefirst course of concrete blockabove the basement floorslab and the wall slidesinward. These cracks willstaircase up and down thefoundation walls near theends of the wall.

A second cause of hori-zontal cracks may be porch-es or sets of steps anchoredto the foundation walls.When porches or steps havebeen installed, these typi-cally have a very shallowfoundation and may settledue to the uncompacted fillsoil along a foundation,causing the top of the wallto pull outward or pushinward.

Less common causes ofhorizontal cracks may besettlement, landslides or the

lack of foundation anchorsthat connect the foundationwall to the floor framing.This type of movement alsomay be indicated with abow in the top of the foun-dation wall.

There are several typesof repairs for these cracks. Ifthe wall is pushed inwarddue to unbalanced soil pres-sure, the walls may bebraced with steel columns orreinforced with steel rein-forcing rods with solid-filledconcrete blocks. Carbonfiber straps adhered to thewalls is an engineered repairmethod, but is typicallymore expensive than themethod above and will notfully repair the wall if thewall is sheared at the bot-tom.

Several foundation com-panies install yard anchors.These require tighteningtwice a year due to anchorcreep in the soil and may bea more expensive repair.

Another repair suggestedby foundation repair com-panies is to excavate theexterior of the foundationwall and install a new exte-rior wall against the existingfoundation wall. Unless thisnew wall is specificallydesigned as a self-support-ing retaining wall for eachhouse, this method may notstop lateral movement.Installing an exterior and/orinterior waterproofing sys-tem does not eliminate soilpressure or stop lateral

movement.Consider-

ations theengineer willuse todesign a coste f f e c t i v emethod ofrepair willinclude the cause of move-ment and the layout of thelot. If the house is locatedon a sloping lot, the appro-priate repair may includereinforced concrete buttress-es or counterforts. Bracingone wall when the oppositewall is mostly above groundmay cause the whole houseto lean.

An independent profes-sional engineer shouldinspect to determine theactual cause and present themost cost effective methodof repair. Engineeringdesign plans or details letshomeowners get multiplecontractors to bid the samescope of work and provideprofessional documentationwhen selling the home.Relying on a salesman froma contractor may be veryexpensive and an inappro-priate repair. Engineers aredesigners and contractorsare installers.Michael Montgomery of Buyers
