Ownership of the remaining 14 adult dogs, mostly pit bulls, was transferred to the shelter’s new management, Clermont to the Rescue Humane Society. Prior to the change of man- agement, rumors were rampant that animals were to be euthan- ized. That wasn’t the case. As outgoing shelter director Bon- nie Morrison promised, the Clermont County Humane Soci- ety worked diligently to find forever homes for as many ani- mals as possible. The change in shelter man- agement was relatively fast, but wasn’t a surprise to many. Over the past year, several agencies had expressed an in- terest in managing the shelter, county Communications Coor- dinator Kathleen Williams said. Since the current contract was about to expire, the county re- quested proposals for the shel- ter’s administration. After re- ceiving and reviewing the pro- posals from three agencies and conducting interviews, a com- mittee of county employees recommended Clermont to the Rescue, she said. During its Dec. 17 meeting, the Clermont County Board of Commissioners accepted the proposal as recommended for the administration of the ani- mal shelter for an estimated $360,000 effective Jan. 1 – Dec. 31, with the option to exercise the renewal for two additional one year terms. Eva Devaughn, founder of Clermont to the Rescue Hu- mane Society, said that she’s pleased her group was awarded the contract. She said that she formed the group in 2013 when she learned that the county commissioners were willing to consider new management for the county shelter. Devaughn, who has operated a basset hound rescue for 18 years, said that she has tried un- successfully for years to get the Clermont County Animal Shel- ter to work with area rescues to find homes for the animals in their care in an effort to reduce the rate at which animals were euthanized. Under the manage- ment of Clermont to the Res- cue, that will be the shelter’s goal. “We’re going to get the pub- lic involved and rescues. We will be more rescue friendly,” she said. Devaughn added that while she would love to say that the shelter will no longer euthanize animals, she can’t make that promise. “Our goal is to reduce the euth rate,” she said. In 2013, the shelter received 1,344 dogs. Of those, 135 were euthanized at the owner’s re- quest. Another 103 dogs that were considered adoptable were euthanized, and 266 dogs that were considered not adopt- able either because they were dangerous or in poor health were euthanized. From Jan. 1 through Oct. 31 the shelter received 1,085 dogs. Of those, 86 were euthanized at the owner’s request. Two dogs that were considered adoptable were euthanized, and 155 dogs that were considered not adopt- able either because they were dangerous or in poor health were euthanized. In late 2013 the Clermont County Commissioners ap- proved Clermont Pets Alive! as the Clermont County K-9 Desig- nee. As such, Pets Alive pulled animals from the shelter, took them to the group’s designated veterinarian to be serviced, and then worked to find them forev- er homes. According to Rick Barron, president of Fix Cler- mont and spouse of Pets Alive founder and executive director, Anita Barron, since being named the county’s K-9 Desig- nee Clermont Pets Alive! saved 576 dogs, cats, kittens and pup- pies from euthanasia.

Conservationassistance offeredto farmers throughJan. 16

The U.S. Departmentof Agriculture’s NaturalResources ConservationService (NRCS) is accept-ing new applications forthe Environmental Quali-ty Incentives Program(EQIP) from Ohio farm-ers and owners of non-in-dustrial private forestland who want to improvethe natural resources ontheir land. Applicationsreceived by Friday, Jan.16, will be considered forfunding this fiscal year.

EQIP is a voluntaryconservation programthat supports agricultureand environmental quali-ty as compatible goals.Through EQIP, agricul-tural producers may re-ceive financial and tech-nical help with structuraland management conser-vation practices on agri-cultural land, such as cov-er crops, conservationtillage, rotational grazing,winter feeding areas andmore.

Lori Lenhart, theNRCS conservationist forBrown and Clermontcounties, said, “We enjoyworking with local farm-ers to develop plans thatbest fit their operationand goals, while also pro-tecting our soil and im-proving the quality of ourstreams and lakes. The fi-nancial assistance avail-able through EQIP pays apart of the cost of tryingnew practices, which maybe just what’s needed tomake trying something

new worthwhile.” In Brown and Cler-

JANUARY 7, 2015 • COMMUNITY JOURNAL • A5NEWS

Who knew my familywould be such a trend-setter for the New Year?Food trends are all overthe board, and today I’mtalking about a few ofthem.

Mediterranean diet.Hummus, falafel and

Zaatarseasoningon flatbread.Heck,that’s notrend atour house,that’s din-ner. (Ma-son read-ers MaryLou and

Joe Zarick make tradi-tional flat bread at homeevery week).

Edible petals as aningredient. One of myfood magazines has cook-ies with edible rose pealson the cover. I’m waybeyond that with usingboth wild and cultivatededible flowers in cookingand preserving.

Fruit and veggiecleanses. My answer tothat is a drink I learnedfrom Susan Parker, pro-prietor of Susan’s Natu-ral World in Cincinnati,eons ago: the juice of alemon in a glass of water.It acts as a natural livercleanser and immunebooster and turns alka-line in the body. Drinkfirst thing in the morn-ing.

Root to stalk. Remem-ber “tail to snout” reci-pes? Look for “root tostalk” recipes, like pick-ling leaves of radishes,or using stems of herbs

as a savory base to roastmeats. Again, what’s oldis new. Friend and amaz-ing Italian cook RitaMacEachen of Madeirahas always frozen herparsley stems for sea-soning.

Ramen noodles areback again. In both soupsand salads. (Not the sea-soning packet, just noo-dles).

Anything fermented ishuge. Kimchee and sau-erkraut head the list.Good for digestive sys-tem and in helping pre-vent some cancers. SoLaszlo Molnar’s stuffedcabbage rolls are just thekind of food to start theNew Year right.

Laszlo’s Iron Skilletstuffed cabbagerolls

There are few ethnicrestaurants that havebeen family owned forgenerations. I applaudthem all, including Las-zlo’s Iron Skillet in New-town,. Some of you willrecall the devastatingfire of the original res-taurant on Valley Avenuein Newtown back in 2013.Since then, Laszlo Mol-nar and his sister, Mon-ica Lippmeier, have relo-cated, at least for now, onMain Street in Newton.

Laszlo’s skill in cook-ing Hungarian and Ger-man cuisines comes fromgenerations before him.Laszlo is generous insharing recipes, like oneof my favorites, stuffedcabbage that Laszlomade on my cable show.His stuffed cabbage rolls

contain ingredients in-digenous to German andHungarian food. This isone of my most request-ed restaurant recipes. Ifyou’d like to enjoy it orhis many other authenticdishes at the restaurant,check out the Iron Skilletat laszlosironskillet.comor call 513-271-4766.

Put all liquid intocontainer and chill, dis-card fat layer, return tosaucepan, boil, thickenwith cornstarch, and addsauerkraut (optional).

Readers want toknow: What is kefir?

Similar to yogurt intaste, this fermenteddairy drink is like athick, protein-packedsmoothie. The completeproteins in kefir areeasily digested, so ifyou’re lactose intolerant,you probably can drinkit. Kefir has gut-friendlybacteria and helps theimmune system, balancedigestion, and lowercholesterol. A bonus: itcontains vitamin D andcalcium.

A publication of

Dec. 31 questionWhat are you most looking for-

ward to, or what do you expect orhope to see happen, in 2015?

“Looking forward to OSUshocking the world and upset-ting Bama:

“Expect: Andrew Luck putsup 400-plus yards on the Ben-gals.

“Hope: peace on Earth andgood will to mankind (and a legitleft fielder).”

Doug Heilbrun

“With the apparent dissen-sion among the Middle EastOPEC nations and their pricefixing I look forward to cheapgas in 2015. Simultaneously theUS has vast shale oil reserves.The new Congress will pass the

go ahead for the Keystone Pipe-line to move this US and Canadi-an oil to refineries safer thantrains. Cheaper gas will spur theeconomy. Now what politician(s) will take credit for OPEC’spossible demise? Go Figure!”

T.D.T.

“To boldly steal a phrasefrom the Miss America pageant:world peace. It will never hap-pen, unfortunately, but it is agood goal for which to strive.Peace within the borders of theUSA is perhaps slightly more at-tainable, but yet a distantstretch. If not nationally, wecould certainly work towardpeace locally. Each of us shouldinsure we have peace within ourown families, then expand tokeep peace in the neighborhood.Maybe help a neighbor, un-asked. Pay it forward to astranger in need. Volunteer. Thepeace thing can start small, butgrow into a larger effort prettyquickly. It’s a new year, let’s giveit a try.”

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat should be the top priori-ties for the Republican-con-trolled Congress (House andSenate)?

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

Howdy folks!Last week I went up to the

Amish store on Ohio 32 with acouple fellars. We saw a fieldof sea gulls. This was a fieldthat had soy beans in it. Theyhad been harvested so therewere some beans on theground. The birds and deer willfind something there to eat.

The Christmas Eve servicewas great with a good crowd.Ruth Ann and I always enjoyedthat service. This year I en-joyed it and know Ruth Annwas watching me. The nursecalled me the day Ruth Anndied and asked if I would letthem take the corneas out ofher eyes so a couple peoplecould see. I thought Ruth Annwould say yes so I did. Nowtwo folks can see thanks to my

sweetheartRuth Ann. Weneed to be ashelpful as wecan.

The reportfrom the BoarsHead BaitShop in Aftonis that thesauger fish in

the Ohio River are beingcaught by the dam at the Mel-dahl Locks and Dam. There is awarning from the game war-den to stay away from thelocks wall in the area thebarges use – they are startingto give tickets to the fisher-men. It seems some of theboats that are in the area thebarges use don’t move whenthey blow the whistle and some

of the fishermen are gettingcaught in the way.

The fishing here at EastFork for crappie has been ex-tremely good. I talked to acouple fellars and they havecaught their limit of crappieeach time they have been out.The limit is 30 and they need tobe nine inches before kept.

In writing this it will be toolate for New Year, but I hopeand pray you had a goodChristmas and New Year withyour family.

It is important we spend asmuch time with your spouseand children as you can forwhen the Lord takes one it is abad time for a person so loveeach other.

My friend Bill called fromFlorida to ask if I would get the

bake goods from the store hetakes to the race track to thepreacher and give to folks. SoTony and I went last Saturdayand got a bunch of bakedgoods. Now Bill is back fromvisiting with his brother inFlorida so he came and got thebaked goods to take to thefolks.

With the help of my daugh-ters we are getting thingschanged, so make it a priorityfor both of you, husband andwife, to know how everythingis paid and where everythingthat is important is kept.

I filled the bird feeders uplast Monday morning. They aresure eating lots of seeds. Theones that are dug out of thefeeder is eaten by the doves.The squirrels have been get-

ting in the feeders but I guessthey need something to eatnow. Their food supply is lim-ited unless they stored somefor winter. I have seen thecooper hawks flying aroundand setting in the trees. Theyare the ones that were raised inthe nest by our house a coupleyears ago.

It’s important to keep checkon your neighbors to see if theyare OK, got heat and have food.Start your week by going to thehouse of worship of yourchoice and praise the goodLord.

God Bless All. More later.

The obvious increase inadvertisements for weight lossprograms, gym membershipsand smoking cessation planscan mean only one thing; theNew Year must be here!

It is human nature to assessour lives during such a time,including deciding what im-provements are needed. Un-fortunately, experts estimatethat only about 15 percent ofNew Year’s resolutionsachieve any level of success.So why are resolutions so pop-ular and yet so ineffective?

In most cases, what we wishto change about our self is aworthy goal; lose weight, get inbetter shape, stop smoking,stop drinking alcohol, or stopspending so much money. Inreality however, many of ournegative behaviors are rootedin either an addiction (alcohol,gambling, sex, smoking), orresult from a previous traumaor current stressor.

How many of us, for ex-ample, eat more when we arestressed or unhappy? Theissue therefore is not aboutlosing weight, but rather isabout what is causing us to eatmore. In reality, addictions,and trauma or stress relatedbehaviors cannot be overcomeby shear will-power. Mostserious behavioral modifica-tion requires intentional treat-

ment and stra-tegic planning.

So does thatmean weshould give upon New Year’sresolutionsand the hopeof changingour life for thebetter? Abso-lutely not!Positive

change can occur and here aresome ways to take the chanceout of change.

» Keep a short list. Most ofus create too many resolutionsand are quickly discouragedbecause we are overwhelmedby all that needs done.

» Be specific in what youwant to change. Most goals aretoo broad and difficult to mea-sure. For example, most of uswant to lose weight. A betterway to phrase it is to lose 15pounds by May 1.

» Create a strategic plan toreach your goal. If your resolu-tion is to improve your com-puter skills during the nextyear, then be intentional. En-roll in a computer class, build alibrary of reference manuals,and find someone who cananswer your questions.

» Modify your habits.Changing major behaviorsoften begins by changing

smaller intrinsic habits. If youare trying to lose weight butstop at the bakery on the wayhome two or three times aweek, take a different routehome. When you crave asnack, substitute fruit forsweets.

» Identify impulsive behav-iors. We are more vulnerableto impulsive decisions whenwe lose track of our goals. Ifyou are trying to save money,don’t go shopping for fun. Andif you must go to the store,have a specific list of itemsyou need to avoid the impulseto buy other things you want.

» Celebrate small victories.Track your progress and cele-brate the incremental positivechanges that are occurringalong the way.

» Recognize when you needhelp. Some changes requirethe assistance of trained pro-fessionals. Don’t hesitate toseek the help of doctors, coun-selors, or a spiritual leader forissues too complex for us tohandle on our own.

Why our New Year’sresolutions don’t work

Gary LeeCOMMUNITYRECORDER GUESTCOLUMNIST

As we enter a new year,consider making it yourresolution to protect yourfinances. Although cata-strophic events can occurthat have an impact on ourfinancial stability and well-being, many situations can

be avoidedwith careand atten-tion.

Accord-ing to theNationalCouncil onAging, olderadults faceissues thatcan chal-lenge the

way we maintain our life-style and pay for medicaland other living expenses.Some great tips on protect-ing your finances include:

Decide if you need thefinancial help of an expertand then choose wisely.Know the professional des-ignations of the advisoryou’re considering. To learnmore about choosing aninvestment advisor, theFinancial Industry Reg-ulator Authority has a web-site: www.finra.org.

Prepare that you may notbe able to handle your ownfinances.

Keep an updated list thatdocuments the names ofyour banks and other in-stitutions, as well as accountnumbers, in a safe placethat is only accessible byyour loved ones in the eventof an emergency.

Consult with you attor-ney to decide if you need apower of attorney (POA),which allows one or morepeople you designate tomake key decisions in asmany or as few of yourfinancial or personal lifesituations.

There are distinctionswith POAs. The AmericanAssociation of Retired Per-sons advises that a conven-tional power of attorneybegins when you sign it andcontinues until you becomementally incapacitated. Youmust identify the person(s)and the specific decisions

you want that person tomake for you in the docu-ment. A durable power ofattorney also begins whenyou sign it, but it stays ineffect for your lifetimeunless you cancel it. Allpowers of attorney come toan end at your death.

Develop a spending planfor your retirement, whichshould include ways to cutcosts, put some of yourincome in savings for short-term needs, and even in-form your auto insurer thatyou are no longer driving towork.

Consider a home policyof never accepting mail andphone calls from marketers.We have a “family policy”that we do not purchase orcontribute money to Any-thing over the phone. If youreceive a mailing, be sure tovalidate its legitimacy be-fore responding.

Review your credit re-ports. Even if you’re notplanning to apply for a loanin the near future, be surethat you request your creditreport to review every 12months. You can do so at nocharge by calling 1-877-322-8228 or at www.annualcre-ditreport.com. Know that noone from these sources willEver initiate contact withyou by phone. Never releasepersonal/financial informa-tion to anyone over thephone.

Think twice before get-ting an advance on yourfuture pension or otherfunds; use credit cards cau-tiously; remember that areverse mortgage will even-tually have to be paid back;consider the pros, cons andcosts before purchasing anannuity; check out discountsand deals for seniors. Final-ly, get organized in manag-ing your bills and all of yourdocuments. Happy NewYear!

Genealogical Societylooks at census records

Do you know who’sresponsible for electriclines that run to yourhouse?

Mark, of Maineville,wrote that the under-ground electric linebroke from the street tohis house. He contactedDuke Energy and wastold it could not repairthe line - that he wouldhave to handle it on hisown.

Mark says the onlyway Duke would repair itis if he had bought itsinsurance for electricline coverage. Mark sayshe doesn’t know who tocall, adding, “This isplain not right.”

What Mark and manyothers don’t realize is ahomeowner is respon-sible for the under-ground electric, naturalgas and water lines goingto their house. If that hadbeen an overhead elec-

tric linegoing toMark’shouse,Dukewould havebeen re-sponsiblefor itsrepair.

TheOhio Con-

sumers’ Counsel saysmany customers canenroll in a program thathelps cover the cost ofrepairing undergroundlines, but notes such linerepairs are needed veryinfrequently.

Mark needs to contacta local electrician tomake repairs. He shouldget repair estimatesfrom at least three differ-ent companies, check tosee how long each firmhas been in business, andsee what rating each hasbeen given by the Better

Business Bureau.Be sure the contractor

you pick guarantees hisworkmanship and ma-terials-- and provides acopy of his liability andworkers compensationinsurance policies. Avoidupfront payments ofmore than 10 percent,and keep in mind thelowest bid may not be thebest bid.

The cost of line war-ranties ranges from $3 to$10 per month dependingon the type and numberof programs in which youenroll. The Ohio Consum-ers’ Counsel says somecompanies may offer aone-time annual fee ofbetween $36 and $120 tocover problems with theutility lines. It says, de-pending on the company,the warranty coversbetween $1,000 and$4,000 of repairs or re-placements.

Remember, mosthomeowners may neverneed to replace or repairany utility lines. Checkwith you neighbors to seeif they have had any suchproblems. Neighbor-hoods older than 40 yearsold, which have the origi-nal pipes and lines, arethose that should concernyou the most.

Most telephone lineproblems typically occurevery 20 to 30 years,according to the OhioConsumers’ Counsel. But,before signing up with awarranty company makesure you get writtendetails of what will andwill not be covered.
