MILFORD —With Halloween inthe rearview mirror and fall notfar behind, shops are swappingcornucopias and maple leaves forChristmas lights and snowmen -Milford is no exception.

The businesses in historicdowntown Milford are busy pre-paring for the Christmas shop-ping season, which kicks off theweekend after Thanksgivingwith the annual Hometown Holi-days event.

Hometown Holidays will be 10a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 25, andSaturday, Nov. 26. During Home-town Holidays, the shops in his-toric downtown will be open andmost will have some type of spe-cial event. There also will beChristmas music, antique firetruck rides and carriage rides.The fire truck rides will be spon-sored by Big Poppa Slim’s Cafe onMain, but visitors will have to payfor carriage rides. The city staffalso is working to help with plan-ning and coordination of theevents.

“We’re doing Hometown Holi-days a little more loosely thisyear, so every store will havetheir own thing. We’re trying tofocus more on the shops and thetown than we’ve done in the past,”said Jeff Goetz, Historic MilfordAssociation president. “We wantpeople to know that Milford is agreat place to bring the family todo a little shopping and enjoy theholiday season.”

Repeat visitors can stop byand check out the shops that haveopened since last Christmas, in-cluding Amy Kirchen’s boutique

and Monograms on Main. Twoother businesses, Auel’s FineChocolates and Road Rivers &Trails, will be celebrating theirfirst anniversary during Home-town Holidays. Both opened dur-ing the event last year.

“It’s been an amazing year. Tocelebrate, we’ll have giveawayson the hour on Friday and we’llhave a raffle for more than $3,000worth of gear to raise money forcharity,” said Emily White ofRoads Rivers and Trails.

She said people should come toMilford not only during Home-town Holidays, but wheneverthey need something special.

“Milford offers shopping op-

portunities and gift ideas youcan’t find anywhere else,” Whitesaid. “We’re excited to see every-one.”

Auel’s ower Randy Auel saidhe hopes people will celebrate thechocolate shop’s anniversary bytrying one of his new coffee or or-ange flavored rounds, sea saltturtles or caramels, or old fash-ioned candies. Auel’s will be giv-ing out free popcorn and selling10-cent hot chocolate duringHometown Holidays.

“It’s been a big first year. Iwent from 35 years in construc-tion to making and selling choco-late - I love it,” he said. “This com-munity has been great and I’m

looking forward to (HometownHolidays) this year.”

Auel also will be letting peopleknow the chocolate shop is sellingChristmas party trays.

“Just come to Milford thatweekend and check out all theshops, listen to the Christmas mu-sic and get in the spirit,” he said.

If you’re in the city for Home-town Holidays - or at all in De-cember - Milford Greenhousewill have their trains on display.The greenhouse is at 1025 LilaAve. The antique fire truck ridesmay take visitors to see thetrains, but that is still being orga-nized.

Hometown Holidayskicks off season in Milford

MILFORD — Chad Reid hadfully expected to take the day off.The Mohawk Bluff apartmentcomplex manager told his boss hewas clocking out, he didn’t set analarm and was looking forward tosleeping in Saturday, Oct. 15.

But around 6 a.m., when hiscats started acting weird, hethought he should check thingsout.

Next thing Reid knew, he wasclimbing a ladder to rescue resi-dents trapped by a fire in thebuilding.

“I heard the alarm and I wentoutside to see what was going on.Then I was at the top of a laddergetting people out the window. Ididn’t even realize what I was do-ing,” he said. “I just wanted tomake sure the residents weresafe.”

By the time the fire depart-ment was battling the blaze in-side the building, Reid, with thehelp of the police department,had helped rescue two children

and a mother from a third-floorapartment and another two resi-dents at the other end of the com-plex.

“I honestly didn’t processwhat I was doing - I’m just glad Iwas there and could help,” hesaid.

Reid was recognized by boththe Milford Police Departmentand the Milford Community Fire

Department chiefs during thecity council meeting Nov. 1. Hewas given the police departmentchallenge coin as well as CivilianService Certificate signed byFire Chief John Cooper and Po-lice Chief Jamey Mills.

“We, the fire and police de-partments, wanted to thank(Reid) in some way and let thepeople of Milford know that this

young man helped save lives thatmorning,” Cooper said. “He actedclearly and without any delay …Chad put aside the safety for him-self and did what he felt was rightand it’s my hope that those whowere affected that morningthank him personally.”

Chad said he was honored toreceive the award, but humbledas well.

“I certainly didn’t do it for therecognition. I helped becausepeople were scared and didn’tknow what to do,” he said.

Assistant Fire Chief Mark Fla-nigan said two people were trans-ported to the hospital - one forhand burns and one for smoke in-halation. Their names were notreleased.

The damage to the buildingwas mostly contained to oneapartment, Flanigan said. Thepreliminary report said the causeof the fire was a lit cigarette.

Reid said Aqua Flow Restora-tion worked over the weekend tohave the residents back in theirhomes by Oct. 18.

MILFORD — The irony wasn’tlost on the Milford faithful.

The Eagles boys soccer teamdropped a 2-1 overtime game toLakota West, Tuesday, Nov. 1, inthe Division I regional semifinals.The very same Lakota West teamthat Milford inadvertently jump-started by embarrassing with a5-2 win, Sept. 10.

“They haven’t lost since theyplayed us,” said Milford headcoach Brian Croston. “They werea much better team than the lasttime we played them.

“We played a great game. Thewhole second half we completelyoutplayed them. If we would’vescored to equalize earlier I thinkwe would’ve gone on to win thematch.”

As it was, the Eagles tied thegame late in regulation to forceovertime, but West netted thegame-winnerinthefirstextrases-sion to advance.

“Lakota West had to really de-fend hard,” Croston said. “We hadso many chances in the secondhalf. It’s just the way things go.”

After surrendering five goalsto Milford Sept. 10, West clearlyrefocused and turned its seasonaround. The Firebirds went 13-0-1in their next 14 games, allowing atotal of seven goals.

Milford, meanwhile, can take

solace in an outstanding 15-4-2season. The Eagles advanced tothe round of 16 – their deepesttournament run since the 2008 re-gional runner-up team.

“To be honest, I expected itwith this group,” Croston said. “Ifelt like, before the season, we’dbe – if not the best – one of the bestteams in the city. And that provedto be true.”

The tournament draw early on

did not exactly set up in Milford’sfavor. A couple of early-seasonlosses left theEagles,perhaps,un-der-seeded at No. 8 in the districttournament. The result was athird-round match against highlytouted Moeller.

“We felt it was a very winnablegame,” senior forward KyleGrothaus said. “We didn’t playgreat for parts of it, but we keptgoing hard and we played with alot of heart.”

The game went to overtimetied 2-2, setting up what Grothauscalled the most memorable mo-mentoftheseason–hisgame-win-ning goal about eight minutes intothe OT.

“It was great,” Grothaus said.“As soon as I got the ball andturned, I knew it was gonna go in.Everyone went crazy.”

MilfordwentontobeatCenter-ville 2-0 in the district title gamefor the third district champion-ship in program history.

The team relied heavily on itssenior class this season, but Cros-ton is optimistic about next sea-son. The JV team went 14-1-1 thisfall.

“Their attitudes are fantastic,”Croston said. “I think the youngerboys love to play, and they love toplay an attractive brand of soccer.

“Even though I started a bunchofseniorsthisyear, I’vegotquiteafew kids that played quite a fewminutes with the varsity.”

‘SOCCER LIVES INMILFORD’

It was a banner week forMilford soccer. No other DivisionI school in the area sent bothboys and girls soccer programsto the regional tournament.

“It’s obviously an accomplish-ment any time you get to re-gional play,” said Milford athlet-ic director Mark Trout, himself aformer Milford boys soccercoach.

“It’s a compliment to our kidsand our coaches and our youthprograms.”

The two Milford soccer pro-grams have won five districtchampionships since 2005, butthis is the first time both boysand girls have taken homehardware in the same year.

“It’s been this way for a longtime,” Trout said. “Soccer lives inMilford.”

Outstanding season ends in Sweet 16 loss

MILFORD — So much for that“soccer-is-boring” argument.

The Division I girls soccer re-gional championship game, Sat-urday, Nov. 5, at Lakota EastHigh School provided a greatcase against those who think asport isn’t interesting unlessthere’s a ton of scoring.

Centerville and Milfordplayed 92 minutes of scorelesssoccer full of nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat drama. The Elks fi-nally ended the tension with agoal in the13th minute of the firstovertime to earn a 1-0 victory.

“I’m just proud of the way thegirls battled,” head coach Pat-rick Winkler said. “We have ateam of warriors. The ball didn’tbounce our way, but in my eyeswe’re still champions.”

Senior goalkeeper MaddieBunnell was superb in the Mil-ford goal all game, closing out ev-ery Centerville scoring opportu-nity.

The Milford attack, mean-while, began to assert itself mid-way through the second half. TheEagles controlled the momen-tum of the game for the last 15minutes of regulation and thebulk of overtime.

The list of almost-game-win-ners was heartbreaking for Mil-ford.

» Kiersten Johnson caughtthe Centerville goalie out of goalfor a moment but couldn’t quitepush the ball into the net late inregulation.

» Caroline Brown lofted ashot from the right side early inovertime that clanged off the in-side of the right post.

» Back-to-back corner kicksnearly netted sudden victory inthe ninth minute of the extra ses-sion, but both attempts barelymissed.

“We had chances,” Winklersaid. “We knew it was going to betough to get one in the back of thenet. Centerville had a lot to dowith that.”

Milford enjoyed the otherside of the tournament spectrumearlier in the week, when fresh-man Tara Claus scored a goal inovertime to lift the Eagles to a 2-1

win against Beavercreek in theDivision I regional semifinals.Milford’s appearance in thestate’s Elite Eight marks the far-thest the program has ever ad-vanced in the postseason.

“It’s huge,” Winkler said.“This is something that’s been inthe works for several years.”

With a roster full of third- andfourth-year varsity players, Win-kler knew this team had majorpotential.

But they had to endure someadversity early. Senior MorganWolcott, a four-time first-teamall-Fort Ancient Valley Confer-ence selection an Ohio State Uni-versity recruit, missed all of thepreseason and the first twoweeks of the regular season witha knee injury.

The team developed differentscoring options in her absenceand then worked together to helpease her back into the lineup.

“I think we started jellingright at the right time,” Winklersaid. “And the result is this runwe’ve had in the tournament and

taking the program at Milfordfarther than it’s ever gone.”

Wolcott wound up winningFAVC East Athlete of the Yearhonors. Winkler won his fourthstraight league coach of the yearaward. Bunnell, Wolcott, John-son and Megan Canter werenamed first team all-FAVC.Brown, Nicki Smith and KellyYee were second team. Stepha-nie Price earned honorable men-tion.

The Eagles graduate sevenseniors – Bunnell, Smith, Wol-cott, Yee, Kat Bare, Katie Matsonand Paige Shiplett. They wonfour FAVC championships, post-ing a 25-1 record in league play.

“Our seniors always set thetone, set the bar, and our youngerplayers rise up to that chal-lenge,” Winkler said. “I thinkwhat we have going here at Mil-ford is something really special.It started with previous years’seniors and has just continued tobuild and build. It’s just great tobe associated with a programlike this.”

MOUNT WASHINGTON— The McNicholas andKettering Alter high schoolsoccer teams are no strang-ers.

The two squad’s usuallyprovide memorable con-tests during Girls GreaterCincinnati League regularseason play.

The playoffs were nodifferent.

And just like earlier inthe regular season, AlterbestedMcNick,1-0, inover-time of the Division II re-gional semifinals, Nov. 2.

The two teams played toa 0-0 tie in regulation, andthe game had to be decidedby shootout.

Alter scored three goalsin the first penalty phaseand McNick senior KelseyMueller was denied on herfinal attempt as the Rock-ets fell, 1-0, to the Knightsat Lakota West HighSchool.

Along with the playoffrun, the 2011 campaign wasa memorable one for theRockets.

The squad ended theseason with a 13-7 overallrecord, and finished withthe No. 2 spot in the finalEnquirer city coaches’ poll.

McNick also wrappedup the GGCL Central titlewith a 5-2 league mark.

Junior goalie Alli Thuldid her best to give theRockets a shot in the loss toAlter, just as she proved todo all season.

Thul was second in theentire GGCL with 13 shut-outs this season.

“Ali did a great job keep-

ing us in the game,” Rock-ets head coach Karen Woodtold Gannet News Service.“I thought we played thempretty evenly in the firsthalf.”

Offensively, the Rock-ets were led this season bysophomore Savannah Car-mosino, freshman MeghanMartella, sophomore LizWittwer and Mueller, thesquad’s lone senior.

Carmosino led the Cen-tral with 33 points comingoff 15 goals and three as-sists.

Martela was responsi-ble for eight goals and 12assists, while Wittwer and

Mueller each had ninegoals and four assists totheir stat lines.

And while Wood and hersquad would undoubtedlystill like to be in the playoffhunt, the Rockets’ headcoach believes her teamnever gave up.

“I’m so very proud ofthis group,” Wood said.“They showed such greatleadership. If they were fa-tigued tonight they didn’tshow it. They really be-lieved we were going tocome out with the win.”

Nov. 2 questionWhat do you think about Presi-

dent Obama's plan to revise thestudent loan program, whichwould cap payments at10 percentof discretionary income and for-give any remaining debt after 20years?

“As far as college loan repay-ment capping and debt forgive-ness, I think it sends the wrongmessage to college students. Cur-rently most of them have livedthrough the bank and financial in-stitution’s 'too big to fail' bail outandnowitseemslikeadvocatinga'too small to fail' system for thestudents.

"While it appears that manycurrent and future students willdefault on their loans as educationbecomes more expensive and theeconomy continues to right size, itis a good wake up call.

"College in America is an eco-nomic privilege, not an inalien-able right. With that in mind, per-haps some student loan relief canbe applied to students who choosecareers that are lucrative, andrevenue generating. This couldapply to some of the current highrevenue/highprofitgeneratingin-dustries of politics, political lob-byingandbank/financialservices.

I.P.

“I don't like Obama's plansabout anything!”

J.F.

“Just what we need – anotherentitlement program. What hap-pened to attending a local afford-able university and being respon-

sible for the debt?”“President Obama just doesn't

get it. Maybe that's because hegrew up in a system of living ongovernment assistance and nothaving to work for a living. Theonlyvoteshe'llget inthenextelec-tion are from those who think ev-erything should be free at the ex-pense of those who work and saveand repay their debts.”

J.K.

"Why don't we just give theworld away. Handouts, handouts,handouts - when does it stop? Wehad to bail out banks, auto indus-try, etc., etc., etc.

“Isn't it a privilege to go to col-lege? When I went to college in the‘60s and ‘70s I found a way to paymy way along with some helpfrom my parents.

“When my kids went to collegethey received private grants be-sides them having part-time jobsand our assistance (paid off stu-dent loans over several years anddepleting savings for their educa-tion).

“I have no intention of raisingothers kids and paying for theireducation, other than property

taxes for local schools, and that isgetting to a point to be more reg-ulated. Maybe if you can't affordcollege there is always communi-ty colleges or maybe find a low-grade job to start and maybe youmight have some company finan-cial assistance. Good luck, but donot always have your hand out.”

D.J.

“Let me see if I understandthis, we (U.S. taxpayers) wouldmakeloanstostudentsandcapthepayments not based on what ittakes torepaythe loanbutonwhatthey earn and then forgive the un-paid balance after 20 years. Thiswould be true even if they ma-jored in ancient Greek literatureor some other pursuit where theyare unlikely to ever earn muchmoney.

“Sounds like a great idea forthe 48 percent of people who payno income tax. They have no skinin the game, but a disproportion-ate number of their childrenwould likely benefit from theseloans.

“Would you make the same of-fer to mortgage holders, or peoplewho buy cars or small businessowners?”

F.S.D.

“The student loan program isnone of Obama's business. He isthe president, not the emperor. Is-sues likethestudent loanprogramand the problems they present areprimarily the concern of the pri-vate sector. Please butt out, Mr.President.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A friend recently turned 60.One of the things you hear aboutturning 60 these days is that 60 isthe new 40. That’s wrong. Sixty issix decades of wear and tear onthe joints and tendons, and count-less insults to the skin and bones.After 60, your body is beginningto phase you out. In your 40s, littleaches and pains go away with as-pirin or ibuprofen. After 60, thereare no little aches and pains; thereare only symptoms of horriblemaladies; depending on howmuch sleep you’ve had, caffeineintake, or if you made any suddenmovements recently, these symp-toms may or may not stop. Symp-toms don’t respond to medicine.

Aches and pains are your con-stant companions. Don’t com-plain; no one cares if you’re mal-functioning so long as you arecontinent. Young people think youare living off their Social Securitytaxes, and take joy from your dis-comfort. Don’t let them see youwince, they might want to see youdoitagain.Remembertobepleas-ant to the staff in the rest homeyour loving family places you.

Nooneunder40seesolderpeo-ple. The only people who noticeyou are paid to. If an attractiveperson waves in your direction,don’t wave back. The object oftheir attention is behind you. Yourname becomes “Dear,” or “Sweet-ie,” or “Sir,” or “Ma’am,” or “Hon-ey.” You may even forget yourown first name - no one uses it.

Print shrinks. Just when youneed to read the directions onmedications, it gets too small toread. This is because we are thelast generation that reads printedmaterials, so they don’t wastemoney on ink by making the printlarge enough to read. Besides,there is nothing but scary infor-

mation on thoselittle bottles ex-cept for the onesthat read “do nottake with alco-hol” (whichcuesyou on to how todeal with yourrelentlesssymptoms).Since you can’tget bottles openanyway, none of

this matters.Don’t jaywalk. Jaywalking de-

pends on being able to movequickly. After 60, your muscles nolonger do “quick” - or even hurry-up;andnoneofyournervesare in-terested in making them do so.Use crosswalks. At least yourheirs will be in a better position tosue if you are wiped out in a cross-walk.

So, what to do? Cherish quirki-ness. During your working years,thetimeyouspendwithyourpart-ner is mostly devoted to routinesto get through the day. After youretire, this is no longer necessary.You have time to interact, etc.Your partner’s quirks are whatbring freshness, new perspectiveand just plain enjoyment into aday. You may know the parame-ters of a partner’s thoughts, butyou have no idea where a quirkypartner’s thoughts are going next.Soon you look forward to findingout “what is going to happen to-day?” It’s a pleasant step back intime; you reconnect with what at-tracted you to their company inthe first place.

You don’t have to gaze to theheavens in search of angels.Some walk among us.

Look no farther than Bethel, avillage of about 2,700 people.There, Denise Strimple and fel-low congregants of Bethel UnitedMethodist Church provide an in-spiring example of compassion.

They have taken on the task offostering and adopting childrenwhose parents are unable to carefor them – often because of prob-lems with alcohol or drugs.

This became a major part ofthe 151-year-old church’s minis-try after Denise and her husband,Mark, volunteered to become fos-ter parents 23 years ago. Sincethen, they have cared for morethan 30 foster kids – some for upto two years.

The Strimples have inspired

many other cou-ples at BethelUnited to be-come fosterparents or toadopt children.Others havebeen certifiedas baby sittersfor foster chil-dren, and manycongregants of-fer up prayers

of support.Bethel United also organizes a

Christmas party for adopted andfoster children, who receive giftsfrom the congregants. Thechurch’s other community ser-vices include an annual Joy ofAdoption celebration and dinner.

Along with many of my col-leagues on Capitol Hill, I am

pleased to participate in the An-gels in Adoption program of theCongressional Coalition on Adop-tion Institute. Members of theHouse and Senate select peoplebased on their generosity andwillingness to help the childrenof those unable to fulfill theirroles as parents.

I’m happy to announce thatthis year I selected Denise Strim-ple and Bethel United MethodistChurch as Angels in Adoption forSouthern Ohio. They restore ourfaith in how a small communitycan make a big difference.

The Strimples’ home in TateTownship, just outside Bethel,was in transition when Mark andDenise decided to reach out toneedy children.

“Our two kids were gettingolder,” Denise said. “We had more

than we needed, and we wanted toshare. We became foster parents,and the ministry grew out of ne-cessity. It seemed to just be infec-tious.”

At the same time, the need forthese services has grown – alongwith the problem of substanceabuse. Some children are bornaddicted to heroin – such as theinfant girl with blue eyes and anadorable smile who the Strimplestook into their home in 2009.

In Clermont County, the num-ber of kids that Children’s Protec-tive Services has removed fromhomes because of neglect orabuse increased by 78 percent intwo years – rising to 235 last yearfrom 132 in 2008.

On behalf of everyone at Be-thel United Methodist Church,Denise and Mark were recog-

nized in Washington D.C. recent-ly for the congregation’s effortsto remedy this problem.

But they intend to do morethan meet with me and get a paton the back. More than 6,500homeless people live in our na-tion’s capital. While in Washing-ton to be recognized for helpingchildren in Ohio, the Strimplesvolunteered at a soup kitchen tohelp feed the homeless.

God bless Denise and MarkStrimple. God bless all the othermembers of Bethel United Meth-odist Church.

And may God bless the UnitedStates with more people just likethem.

In 1972, operations began atthe landfill in Jackson Townshipnow known as CECOS. Before be-ing shut down to accepting deliv-ery of waste in 1988, the site be-came home to thousands of tonsof highly toxic chemical industri-al waste. Sealed in drums, thewaste was stacked in pits in theground that was lined with clayand plastic before being covered.As time goes by, obviously themetal drums will decay and thechemicals will leak to the sur-rounding dirt. The theory is thatthe pits are impervious to groundwater getting in and likewise get-ting out. That’s the theory.

The question is, is the 1970stechnology of sealing acres ofsoil working? Some do not thinkso. What happens if the nastychemicals leak into the areaground outside of the pits? Whathappens if they mix with other

nasty chemi-cals? What hap-pens if it getsinto the groundwater then intothe aquifer?Can the chemi-cals make theirway into thenearby creekand then intoour water sup-ply? Who is to

monitor and report if these chem-icals escape? These are questionsthe state and federally-required“Post-Closure Plan” is supposedto address. While the report dead-line is quickly approaching, thisis not something you want to rush- and it has not been.

I was recently asked by Jack-son Township residents to assistother legislators who have beenasked to intervene on their be-

half. While the Jackson Townshipsite is not officially in my district,the watershed of the site, includ-ing Harsha Lake at East ForkState Park is.

I met with the Ohio EPA intheir Dayton offices. They re-sponded to my request for a fullbriefing with enthusiasm andprofessionalism I have not oftenexperienced in other state agen-cies.

There are more meetings Iwill be attending to continue toaddress this issue and I’ll repre-sent the people of ClermontCounty to the fullest extent al-lowed.

GOSHEN TWP. — Before KenKlosterman got into the bread-making business at age 16, hewas in another business – magic.

“I became interested in magicwhen my uncle used to fool mewith a trick. I wanted to find outhow it was done,” said Kloster-man, founder of KlostermanBaking Company.

“He wouldn’t tell me, he justgave me a book to read. That gotme into reading and it got me intomagic.”

Kloseterman was just 9 yearsold and the book was “Tarbell’sCourse in Magic.”

“I picked up tricks out of thisbook and did birthday parties,”he said. “I did magic at collegeduring rush. It was a hobby, not aprofession. I’ve messed aroundwith it all my life.”

That hobby turned into one ofthe largest collections of magicmemorabilia in the world.

AbracadabraIn1970, Klosterman started to

collect magic memorabilia thathad connections to famous pro-fessional magicians such as Har-ry Houdini, Howard Thurston,Alexander Herrmann, HarryKellar, Chung Ling Soo and KarlGermain.

Over the years it has grown toinclude 3,000 apparatus, 1,500posters, 8,000 books and 15,000miscellaneous items such asprops, photos, cards and magiccoins.

But it was in 1985, when Klos-terman and his wife, Judy, pur-chased land in Goshen Township,that the collection unexpectedlyfound its current home.

Originally, the Klostermansplanned on building a little sum-mer cottage. When they startedwork on it a giant, well-like holewas discovered. It turned out tobe an air shaft that led down tocaves that had once been used byAmerican Indians and early set-tlers.

His wife said she thought thecaves would make a good placefor his collection.

“I’ve seen enough magic tolast a lifetime,” she said. “Whenour kids were young Ken wouldcome home and ask them ifthey’d like to see something.They’d shout out, ‘If it’s anothermagic trick we dont want to seeit.’ ”

So instead of a summer homethey ended up with a horse farmup top for Judy, who is one of thetop breeders in the region, and anine-room magic museum downbelow for Ken. That air shaft nowhouses an 83-foot elevator thattakes visitors down to the Salonde Magie.

PrestoMost of Klosterman’s collec-

tion covers magic from the 1800sthrough 1926, the year Houdinidied. Even though Houdini is themost renowned - and collectible -magician, he’s not Klosterman’sfavorite.

“Houdini, in my opinion, was apoor magician but a great pro-moter,” said Klosterman. “Ev-erybody knows Houdini's name.Few people know the names ofThurston, Keller and Germainwho were, in my opinion, theworld’s greatest magicians.”

Posters of these magical

greats are spread throughout thesalon. Many of them were print-ed by the Strobridge Company ofCincinnati.

Klosterman also has secretdoors leading from one room toanother, including a door that hiswife found in Newport. It was re-ported to have been used in ahouse of ill-repute to help hidethe women from police raids.

As for his favorite item, hesaid, “How do you determinewhich one of your children youlike best?”

For lay people, some of thecollection may not have as muchsignificance as it would to prac-ticing magicians. But there arepieces whose historical signifi-cance would impress almost any-body.

Two of those items are a wood-en lock and key from the Houdinicollection that is reputed to beMary Magdalene’s lock. He alsohas a light and heavy box thatRobert-Houdin used to put downa revolt in Algiers by fooling peo-ple into thinking he had the pow-er to make a strong man weak.

“Magic is to entertain not totry and rule people. Of coursethat did happen in the early daysof magic. That's how people werecontrolled by kings - throughmysterious powers,” said Klos-terman.

Hocus Pocus

Klosterman has done a lotover the years not only to pre-serve magical artifacts, but topromote their historical impor-tance.

He published the book byJohn Braun titled “Of Legierde-maine and Diverse JugglingKnacks” and wrote “Salon de Ma-gie” with Gabe Fajuri.

He’s been featured in severalpublications and served as presi-dent of the International Broth-erhood of Magicians from1995 to1996.

And now he’s decided to sharesome of his collection with theworld.

“I believe it's better to givewhile you're alive that way youknow where it's going,” saidKlosterman. “Maybe it's not the

largest (collection), but it's themost historical.”

More than 300 items from theSalon de Magie went up for auc-tion Oct. 29 at Potter & PotterAuctions in Chicago. They in-cluded autographed Harry Hou-dini memorabilia, posters, booksand equipment.

Potter & Potter owner Fajuriis a friend of Klosterman’s andhelped archive part of his collec-tion while attending the Univer-sity of Michigan.

An amateur magician him-self, he’s excited to show off evena small portion of Klosterman’scollection.

“I tell people about it all thetime,” said Fajuri. “It’s a world-class collection of magic.”

Fajuri said there was a lot ofadvance excitement for the auc-tion, with bidders from as faraway as Singapore, Germany,Belgium and South America.

“As a private collection, it’sright up there,” said Fajuri.“Ken’s done everything firstclass.”

But just because he auctionedoff some memorabilia doesn’tmean Klosterman has stoppedhunting for items to fill Salon deMagie.

“I'm always looking for mag-ic,” he said. “If you have anymagic, call Ken Klosterman.That's how I get most of mystuff.”

When asked what it is aboutmagic that draws people in, Klos-terman said, “It takes them out ofthe everyday life. It gives themthe opportunity to fantasize.”

If you could see mykitchen counter right now,you’d think I was cookingfor hundreds and you’d bealmost correct.

I’mdoing apresenta-tion forbreastcancersurvivorsfor MercyHospitalAndersonand thetheme isgifts from

the kitchen. We expect atotal of about 100 partici-pants. I wanted to givethem something to takehome, and decided uponmy honey roasted almondsand crunchy peppermintbark. I’m in charge of thealmonds and Gale Green-burg of Mercy is makingthe bark.

So right now I havenine baking sheets full ofhoney roasted almonds. Ihave a feeling, though, I’llsoon have less since ev-eryone who passes bytakes a handful. I’m shar-ing that recipe today sinceit’s a good “before thefeast nibbler” for Thanks-giving and other holidaygatherings, along withbeing my most requestednut recipe.

Better than storebought honeyroasted nuts

Almonds, like all nuts,contain fiber and protein,plus a good amount ofcalcium. If you’d rathersubstitute walnuts (greatsource of Omega 3) oryour favorite nut, goahead.

2 cups whole almonds, skinleft on and toasted

¼ cup sugar or equivalentsubstitute

½ teaspoon salt2 tablespoons ea: honey and

water2 teaspoons Canola oil

Mix sugar and salt inlarge bowl and set aside.Stir together honey, waterand oil in pan and bring toa boil. Immediately stir innuts and continue to cookand stir until liquid isabsorbed, about 5 minutes.Immediately transfer nutsto bowl with sugar/saltmixture and toss untilevenly coated. Pour outonto sprayed cookie sheet.When cool, break up andstore airtight at roomtemperature up to amonth.

Tip from Rita’skitchen:

To toast nuts: Pour insingle layer on cookiesheet. Roast at 350 untilfragrant, about 10-15 min-

utes. Stir from outsideedge into center a coupleof times.

Want a spicy nut? Mixin some chipotle pepperpowder with the sugar/saltmixture. Or add somecinnamon for cinnamonnuts.

Overnight blueberryFrench toast

Doesn’t this sound goodfor those overnight holi-day guests? It’s from Gra-cious Gifts cookbook putout by Sycamore Presby-terian Church. The book iswell done. The churchitself was founded in 1798and continues to be athriving congregation. Ihave done several presen-tations for them and Ialways leave with a smileon my face. The cookbookis over 500 pages with anice, hard cover. The reci-

pes go from appetizers tosoups, to main dishes,veggies, breads, pastries,desserts and a miscella-neous section that includesbeverages and microwaverecipes. I love the specialgifts section in the backfrom the staff at Syca-more.

This brunch recipe wassubmitted by Janet Dimittof the Tuesday morningbible study group, and Ithink it’s perfect for over-night guests, or yourself!The book is a steal at $20,which includes postageand handling. Order byphone by calling SycamorePresbyterian Church fordetails (513) 683-0254.

BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT

Our Adopt-a-SeniorChristmas program hasgrown quite a bit over theyears, so we start early tomake sure we haveenough time to deliver allthe gifts before Christ-mas. In fact, a couple ofpeople who participatedlast year have alreadydropped off donations.

Each year we receive

calls from individuals andorganizations that want tohelp the elderly during theholidays by providingthem with a gift or two.We match groups or indi-viduals with specific re-quests from seniors whowe know could use a littlehelp. Lists usually suggesta couple of practical itemsas well as a small luxury

or two, such as a box ofcandy or crossword puzzlebooks.

For some of our cus-tomers, these few gifts arethe only ones they receive.Some of them are over-whelmed by the generos-ity of our volunteers.Some laugh and some cry,but they all have bigsmiles on their faces, and

a warmspot intheirheartsfromknowingthatsomeonecared.

Thereis also aneed forpersonal

care items such as houseslippers, body lotion, ra-zors and shaving cream.Towels and sheets areneeded, too. Sometimeswe run across a customerwho has only one bathtowel and their sheets maybe torn and stained. Bedand bath linens are toocostly for them to replace,so the one or two they ownmay have to last for years.

These low-income sen-iors can also use gift cardsto stores like Wal-Mart,Kroger, and Meijer’s,where they can not onlypurchase food, but pre-scriptions as well.

Typically, the requestsare for small householditems that most of us takefor granted. However, lastyear a senior lady called infor help. She had no placeto go, had few belongingsand was living in a car thatshe borrowed from afriend. One of our socialworkers made her priorityone and found her an

apartment in one of oursenior housing facilities(which rarely have a va-cancy). She contacted alocal church and commu-nity group that provided abed, furniture, pots andpans and other kitchensupplies. Through ouradopt-a-senior gift pantry,we were able to provideher with sheets, towels,blankets, cleaning sup-plies and personal careitems. Our staff called it aChristmas miracle. Thelady couldn’t have beenmore excited or happierthan we were.

Most people find thatdoing something for oth-ers is especially reward-ing during the holidays.Traditionally, a lot of thefocus is on children, butour volunteers seem tolove helping seniors justas much. Many of the giftsare wrapped with suchcare and creativity, thatyou can see how much joyit brings to the giver.

If you or your grouphas an interest in helping asenior citizen with a holi-day gift, call Connie Lan-dock, volunteer specialistat 536-4021.

I guarantee that youwill brighten your ownholiday as well.

Howdy folks,Last week was busy

here at our house. TuesdayRuth Ann and I went fish-ing to stock up the freezer.We caught several nicesized crappie and a bigcatfish.

Wednesday evening wehad a new experience. Wewent with a group fromour church to Lower PriceHill to the Kroger proc-essing plant to help servefood to about 75 to 100people. This was good forus. It made me morethankful for what we have.

Thursday morning Ipicked enough greenbeans for Ruth Ann to canfour pints. I also picked atwo-gallon bucket of bellpeppers, the tomatoes andlittle zucchini squash. Itwas good. I did this, as onFriday morning every-thing was white. That tookcare of everything in thegarden except the brocco-li, brussel sprouts, spinachand the lettuce seems tobe OK.

We did something dif-ferent this year whenplanting the sweet pota-toes. I had a small plastictub about 14 inches widefull of dirt so I put a smallsweet potato in it. Theplant grew and I pulledthe plant out of the tub andgot enough sweet potatoesfor two meals for us. Thiswas a surprise so nextyear I will set some ofthese buckets out and putone plant in each. Thisproves you can grow foodin small containers.

At noon for dinnerThursday, we had mybrother and sister-in-lawand foster brother herefor a fish dinner and boy

did theyenjoy thefresh crap-pie andmeal. Fri-day wasHerb’sbirthday.

Fridayevening acouple thatjoined the

Monroe Grange were herefor a fish supper and spentthe evening. What an en-joyable time we had withTony and Kate.

Friday we took corn tothe Bethel United Method-ist Church for a funeralmeal. The feller that theGood Lord called homewas Chester Campbell. Aslong as he was able he wasat church. He will bemissed by his family andfriends.

Saturday evening theBethel United MethodistChurch had their HolyHouse during the trick ortreat time. What a crowd.They counted 2,115 folkswent through. What a wayto present the love of thechurch and teachings ofChrist.

The Holy House wasset up on Friday evening

by dozens of folks. Thescenes were of the birth,crucifixion and resurrec-tion of Christ. Then thefolks came through theother side of the fellow-ship hall for cookies, pop-corn, orange drink orwater.

The folks spent a bigpart of the day poppingcorn. They had about 1,800bags of popcorn. Therewas some left so the chil-dren at Sunday School gotto eat them.

The love of this churchreally shows, don’t youthink? The CommunityThanksgiving Service willbe held at this churchSunday, Nov. 20 so comeand enjoy.

The Spring Grove Unit-ed Methodist Church outof Nicholsville will havetheir annual soup, salad,dessert and bazaar from10 a.m. till 1 p.m. on Sat-urday, Nov. 12.
