When Chris Daeger wasyoung, his mother and grand-parents taught him about gar-dening and raising house-plants.

They were lessons thatwouldstandDaeger—andulti-mately visitors to the StanleyM. Rowe Arboretum in IndianHill – in good stead.

“It grew into a hobby whichlater became a livelihood onlybecause I wanted to do some-thingwhich I liked doing,” saidDaeger, who is arboretummanager of the nine-acrehavenat4600MuchmoreRoad.

“Now I run the arboretum,grow interesting plants athome in my nursery, designand install landscapes, and myhobby interest in bonsai hasevolved into a sideline ventureas well.”

Daeger recently was hon-ored for his work at the RoweArboretum when the Cincin-natiHorticulturalSocietygavethe arboretum a “GardenerRecognitionAward,” saying its“contribution to horticulture isan inspiration to everyone.”

Daeger, who lives in Wil-liamsburg Township, said, “Itis very nice to be noticed andhave the arboretum consid-ered worthy of any award.”

“I guess it’s justme, but I al-waysseeplentyofroomfor im-provement - to make our gar-dens an even better place forall to enjoy the many reasonsvisitors come,” Daeger said.

Rowe Arboretum was do-nated to Indian Hill by StanleyM. Rowe Sr. and his wife, Do-rothy Snowden Rowe, whofounded the arboretum in 1926and willed the property to the

village, effective upon theirdeaths.

Dorothy Rowe died in 1982and Stanley Rowe Sr. died in1987, the year Indian Hill be-gan operating the arboretum.

“I started in 1983, beinghired by none other than Stan-leyM.Rowehimself ashis hor-ticulturist,” Daeger said.

“I can honestly say I tookthe private estate and turned itinto respectable public gar-den.”

Daeger estimates that up to2,000 different plants callRowe Arboretum home.

The arboretum has somesmall flowering and vegetableplants but primarily show-cases trees and shrubs.

“There isn’t anything I don’tlike about the job,” Daegersaid.

“Being the only person atthe site does mean that what-ever needs to be done, I’m in-volved with it.

“I learned a long time agothat this position requires oneto do whatever needs to bedoneat any time,”Daeger said.

“It’s just what you have todo, kind of like life in general.Maybe even more like being aparent.”

Indian Hill City ManagerDinaMinnecipraisedDaeger’swork at Rowe Arboretum.

“Chris does a great job ap-preciating the true value of theRowe family’s generous landcontribution by keeping a verywell-maintained destinationfor thosewho appreciate floralbeauty and tranquility,” Min-neci said.

A former golf course andswimming pool could becomenew recreation space in PierceTownship.

Trustees recently voted toseek grants to buy and possiblydevelop the former Sky ValleyGolf and Swim club near the in-tersection of U.S. 52 and stateRoute 749.

Pierce Township officialsplan to apply for $180,000 fromthe Clean Ohio Fund Green-space Conservation program,aswell as a $250,000 grant fromthe Ohio Kentucky Indiana Re-gional Council of Governments(OKI).

But what the roughly 31-acreproperty ultimately becomesdepends on which, if any, grantmoney Pierce Township re-ceives.

“This gives us the flexibilityto use either one of the funds, ifthey become available, to ac-quire the property,” said Town-ship Administrator David El-mer. “Ideally we’d get both anduse (the funds) in away that fitstheultimategoalofanenhancedrecreation facility and a combi-nation of passive greenspace.”

Each grant has certain re-strictions about how fundingcan be used, and if PierceTown-ship gets the Greenspace Con-servation grant, the propertywould, at least in part, have to

remain passive.If Pierce Township receives

the OKI funds, it could developa hike-bike path and trailheadon the property, which couldeventually connect to the OhioRiver Trail, Elmer said.

The property, owned by theIndianValleyLandCo.,hasbeenthe subject of a lawsuit sincelast July over alleged damagesto the property caused bybreaks in Clermont County’swater lines.

Because the county is in-volved in the lawsuit, TrusteeRichard Riebel said the waterdepartment would contributemoney to help the township ac-

quire theproperty, if that ispartof a pending settlement agree-ment.

Trustees also authorized El-mer and Township Law Direc-tor Thomas Keating to negoti-ate termsforbuying theproper-ty, up to $40,000.

“This would not only en-hance that area, which is a gate-way to the community, but alsobe a connector near the OhioRiver,” said Trustee BobPautke.

Pierce Township had consid-ered buying the property a fewyears ago, Elmer said at a De-cembermeeting, but the askingprice was too high.

The former Sky Valley Golf and Swim club has been the subject of a lawsuit since last July. Pierce Township isconsidering buying it as a recreational space for the community. LISA WAKELAND/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Pierce Township isholding off on an overhaulof its website until offi-cials develop a communi-cations plan, but that de-lay could end up costingtaxpayers more.

During a Dec. 30 spe-cial meeting, Administra-tor David Elmer broughtforward a proposal to con-tract with CIVICPLUS tohelp redesign the town-

ship’s website, but trust-ees declined to move for-ward.

The three-year con-tract would have been$19,383 for the first year,and $3,000 each subse-quent year for the design,maintenance and hostingof the newwebsite. Elmersaid the original proposalwas $10,000 more for thefirst year and an addition-al $1,000 for the other twoyears of the contract.

Elmer said he was

hopeful representativesfrom CIVICPLUS, whichalso helped Sharonvilleand Lima revamp theirwebsites, would honor thereduced price, but theyonly guaranteed itthrough the end of 2013.

Trustee ChristopherKnoop, whose term endedDec. 31, said he thoughtthey should wait because“spendingonthe technicalside is not going to solvethe needs on the contentside.”

Trustee Bob Pautke,whoreplacedKnoopwhenhis term began Jan. 1, saidat the special meeting thewebsite is important, butthey need a plan in placebefore moving forward.

Pautke said every or-ganization needs a goodwebsite—one reason is toact similar to a brochure,in this case promoting thetownship, and the otherreason is for communica-tion and interactivity.

“What are we trying to

solve?” he asked. “Amonth from now, weshould have a plan inplace.”

Elmer said thecontractwould include a develop-ment and needs assess-ment, while identifyinggoals and strategies forthe website.

“It’s not a matter of uspicking and choosing col-ors andpickingandchoos-ing pictures,” he said. “It’sfar more complex thanthat.”

Trustee RichardRiebelsaid making the meetingagenda and departmentreports available to resi-dents was part of the rea-son for the push to rede-sign and update the web-site, though it has been aneed for several years.

A resident at the meet-ing said the townshipneeds to identify what itreally wants from thewebsite redesign processand go out for competitivebids with those specs.

A popular Hyde Parkrestaurant is opening asecond location in Ander-son Township.

Arthur’s Café, which isnear Hyde Park Square,plans to open next year inthe former Red Chop-sticks and Perkins build-ing at 8221 BeechmontAve..

“We really feel like An-derson is missing good lo-cal, independently ownedrestaurants,” said B.J.Hughes, one of three own-ers.

“Our customers andpeople we know who liveout here have expressedand interest in us coming(to Anderson).”

Hughes and his part-ners, Joe Santorelli andSusan Selzer, have ownedArthur’s for 16 years.Theypaid off the loan ear-lier this year and plannedto spend this year scout-ing locations for a secondrestaurant, but the deal

came through quickerthan they anticipated.

“We looked at severalparts of town, but we al-ways had sort of an affin-ity for the Andersonarea,” Hughes said, add-ing both he and Santorelliwent to McNicholas High

School.Selzer and Santorelli

live in Anderson Town-ship, and Hughes lives inUnion Township.

“The greatest motiva-tor, fromapersonal stand-point, is when you want toget together with friendsor family there’s not a lotto choose from that hasquality foodwitha full barand a non-corporate,cheesy atmosphere,”Hughes said.

The menu at the newAnderson Township res-taurant will be almostidentical to the one at theHyde Park location, 3516Edwards Road.

MILFORD—Afterwork-ing alongside residentsexperiencing homeless-ness at the Drop Inn Cen-ter in Over-the-Rhine allsemester, nine MilfordHigh School studentsweren’t ready to say good-bye – at least notwithout aparty.

So the students orga-nized a Halloween partyfor their new friends andbrought along their par-ents, whose reaction high-lighted the experiencethese students just had.

“I think they wereshocked to see this is who(we’ve) been workingwith,” saidMolly Milinov-ich, a junior at Milford.

Some parents werefrightened, said JanelleSchunk, a photographyteacher at Milford HighSchool, who spearheadedthe New Voices program.

“We had a Halloweenparty for the residents ofthe Drop Inn Center andwalking to the Drop InnCenter the parents wereterrified,” Schunk said.

Meanwhile, studentsran around giving hugsand embraced their sur-roundings.

“My mom was talkingto one of the residents andshehadno idea thispart ofOver-the-Rhine existed,”Milinovich said.

At the beginning of the

semester, neither didmany of the students.

“Milford is a very non-diverse community fromwhat I can tell,” she said.

But the students got afirsthand look at drasti-cally different circum-stances by participatingin this photography-basedprogram.

“Our kids are lucky

kids. They have grown upin very fortunate circum-stances and I think thisdrives that home forthem,” Schunk said.

“They are certainly,and this is 100 percenttrue, every single kid is somuch more grateful forwhat they have.”

Students rode the businto Over-the-Rhine 10

timesduring the semester– not to document home-lessness, but to createconnections and breakdown barriers.

“We went downtownwith a couple of womenwho are in not the bestshape – physically andmentally – andwe basical-ly showed them that peo-pledocarenomatterwhatposition they are in,” saidAlex Kerby, a senior atMilford.

“And we show thatthrough artwork.”

Students and Drop InnCenter residents took pic-tures at Washington Park,Memorial Hall and FirstLutheran Church.

They’re now workingtoward a final exhibitionof theirwork, titled “Ordi-nary Heroes,” in January.

“Over-the-Rhinecanbelabeled a scary place,”Schunk said.

“(But) these womenhave definitely becometheir heroes.”

David Rosenthal, the

director and founder ofNew Voices, said it didn’tstart out that way.

“Students were shar-ing their preconceivedno-tions about residents, but(residents)weredoing thesame thing to them,” hesaid.

Milinovich said itwas alesson for both groups.

“I think they learnedthatpeopledocare. It’snotlike, ‘I’m a homeless per-sonandnoonecares,’” shesaid.

“Even ... high schoolgirls, who are portrayed

as mean girls usually andstuff, we actually are niceand we care about otherpeople.”

Rosenthal said that’sone of the reasons thatwhile his program is pho-tography-based “it’s notreally about that.”

“Every kid has some-how made an impact insomeone’s life,” Schunksaid.

“For a 15- (or) 16-year-oldkidtobeable tochangethe life of a 40- (or) 50-year-old woman, that’spowerful.”

NEW RICHMOND — The firsttime elicited a smattering ofgiggles. Then came a widerswath of chuckles.

The third time somebodydrove the lane on New Rich-mond High School senior bas-ketball player Josie Bucking-ham, a good chunk of the crowd

was out-and-out laughing.“That’s actually a common

reaction,” Lions head coachBrad Hatfield said. “I don’tthink many teams from ourleague – from the city - canmatch upwith her. Shemakes itreal tough for the other team toscore from the inside.”

It is somewhat comical – inthat vaguely painful schaden-freude kind of way – to see apoint guard who clocks in at 5-foot-2 have a shot rejected bythe 6-foot-6 Buckingham’s el-bowwithout benefit of the taller

AMELIA — At a late Decem-ber boys basketball game, theAmelia High School studentsection celebrated “PajamaNight.”Despite thepresenceofvarious forms of flannel sleep-ware, no one in the “Mazzone”was there for a long winter’snap.

The namesake of Amelia’sClough Pike Crazies, coachCraig Mazzaro, has anotherbrand of Baron ballers to beproud of.

The defending SouthernBuckeye Conference-Ameri-can Division champions areback near the top of the leaguethanks to tough defense and asize advantage not normallyseen in Clermont County.

“We’ve played real strongand beat some teams prettygood,”Mazzarosaid. “We‘Dup’on themandkindofbreak theirwill a little. If we get in the 60s,we should be good if we canhold them to the 30s.”

Amelia was 6-1 at the holi-day break with just one blem-ish against New Richmond.That included a 59-53 win overTurpin and their much-her-alded guard Zach McCormick(Miami University).

“We just came out andplayed against Turpin and shuttheir guys down,” Mazzarosaid. “A couple guys madesome shots andwe closed themout.Weactually got up about14on them but messed around atthe end and they made somethrees.”

Unlike most squads in theirzip code, the Barons have sub-stantial size. Returning first

team selection TommyHackerhas brought the house downwith a dunk and junior GarrettWeaver was a top pick last sea-son as a sophomore.

“I don’t think we’ve had twoor three 6-6 guys,”Mazzaro ad-mitted. “It’s nice.”

Mazzaro also has the luxuryof havingmore size coming offthebenchinT.J.ReedandRyanTurner. Weaver, Hacker, Reedand Turner all range from 6-foot-4 to 6-foot-6.

“That’s whywe have the bigfreshman in there, Turner,”Mazzaro said. “We let himguard people in practice andget that big 6-6 hand up. Heplays JV and we get him in aquarter or two.”

Early on, New Richmondwas the only team to out-re-bound the Barons. Most teamsfall short thanks to their con-siderable wingspans.

Keegan Carson, Brett Gree-nough, Sean Stewart, ChandlerHauke, Jack Mickler and Bro-ganCouch also contributemin-

utes. There’s also the polar op-posite ofAmelia’s bigguys in5-foot-4 guard Mason Blanken-ship.

“He’s a strong shooter and averygoodpoint guard,”Mazza-ro said. “He’s a real good pass-er, too.He alwaysmakes some-thing happen.”

The men of Mazzaro shouldhaveadecent chanceofmatch-ing last year’s 18-win mark.Their biggest SBAAC gameleft isatNewRichmondJan.31.

“We’re in good shape,”Maz-zaro said. “Wehave aCampbellCounty team coming up that’spretty good.”

The Camels host the BaronsJan. 18. Amelia also takes theshort jog down Clough to playan improvedGlenEste teamonFeb. 3.

“We still need to reboundandhandle theballabitbetter,”Mazzarosaid. “It’sprettymuchthe same group (from lastyear). When we play instead ofstand around, we’re pretty sol-id.”

player having to jump.“I don’t really notice it,

honestly,” Buckinghamsaid of the guffaws. “Myteammates do. They’ll tellme during a timeout or athalftime or something. Ijust try to stay focused onthe court.”

Her height has madeher the focus of opposingteams her entire career,which began in thirdgrade.

“My size, my post play,I have the biggest advan-tageof anybody,” she said.“I do feel somepressure. Itry to calm myself downand let go of some of itwhen I step on the floor.”

Hatfield said solid fun-damentals help keep pres-sure to a minimum.

“We just try to practicehow to do the right thingswith her,” he said. “Shedoesn’t have to do every-

thing by herself. She getsmost of the attention, butthat lets the othergirls getinvolved.”

Buckingham agreed,adding she wants to beknown as a complete play-er.

“I’m kind of 50-50,” shesaid. “Defense gets of-fense, so if I had tochoose,I guess I would take de-fense, butyouhave toplayboth ends of the floor.”

Away from the basket-ball court, Buckinghamspends time off the floorof Gold Star Chili in NewRichmond, where sheworks as a waitress. Herfavorite menu item ischeese fries, but shedoesn’t eat too many ofthem in deference to herfuture plans.

She signed a letter ofintent inNovembertocon-tinue her academic andbasketball careers at theUniversity of Minnesotanext season.

“I want to study pre-med,” Buckingham said.

“I’ve always loved kidsand want to work withthemsomeday.Minnesotais really encouraging (ofthe demanding scheduleshe will have to take) andthey have a really goodmedical school there.”

On the court, she looksforward to expanding hergame.

“It’s going to be a bigchallenge, a big change,”she said. “I’ll be playingagainst more girls mysize. I’m going to have towork hard to compete, butI look forward to that. Iwant to keep getting bet-ter.”

The Lions went 10-1through the first half ofthe season and Bucking-ham wants to keep build-ing on that mark, too.

“I’m happy with ourrecord so far, but we havea lot of room for improve-ment,” she said. “Every-body has to keep gettingbetter if we’re going to dowell in the tournament.That’s the goal.”

A6 • COMMUNITY JOURNAL • JANUARY 15, 2014

When facing a challengingsituation, I often wish I couldcall upon the counsel of thefounder of Clermont SeniorServices, Lois Brown Dale.Lois hired me in 1983 whenshe asked me to become partof Clermont Senior Services,and Lois and I remainedfriends until she passed awayjust shy of her 92nd birthdayin 2009.

Today, I have an icon onmy desktop captioned,WWLD, What Would Lois Do?When clicked, a picture ofLois appears, reminding meof her spirit and intensitythat would dare anyone toquestion her motivation toserve those for whom shefought. It was through thatstrength, will, and intellectthat Lois birthed and grewClermont Senior Services.

As much asI could sharestories, inmany direc-tions, aboutLois, this isreally moreabout a state-ment she oncemade to me. “Ipray that Hewill take mybody, but nev-

er my mind.” For a womanwho had used her vast knowl-edge, wisdom and intellect tobe successful in life, losingher memory and cognitiveability was her greatest fear.

Evidence reveals that thegreatest risk factor in de-mentia is age, and as we livelonger, the threat of Alzheim-er’s increases. According to a2010 survey by the MetLife

Foundation, people over 55dread getting Alzheimer’smore than any other disease(after cancer). Moreover, theAlzheimer’s Association esti-mates that 4.5 million Amer-icans now have dementia andreport that it affects morethan a third of U.S. adultsthrough a family member orfriend who has Alzheimer’s.

For many years, we’vebeen told that there’s little wecan do to prevent Alzheimer’sdisease and other types ofdementia. But, the good newsis that evidence now suggeststhat there are steps you cantake to reduce your risk.

By eating right, exercisingyour body and your brain,staying socially engaged,getting enough rest, andkeeping stress in check, thusleading a brain-healthy life-

style, you may be able toprevent Alzheimer’s symp-toms and slow down, or evenreverse, the process of dete-rioration.

And, recent studies haveeven linked gum disease to anumber of health problems,including Alzheimer’s dis-ease. So, taking care of yourteeth and gums is also veryimportant.

To keep your body andmind active, consider attend-ing several of the variety ofclasses offered at one of theClermont Senior ServicesLifelong Learning Centers.The catalog of classes can befound online at www.cler-montseniors.com or call theUnion Township LifelongLearning Center at 947-7333Monday through Friday.

Lois’ prayer was an-

swered. As frail as she be-came physically, as she aged,she was sharp as a tack other-wise.

When talking, Lois wouldrefer to encounters with spe-cific people and circum-stances that I had a hard timerecalling to the level of detailshe offered.

Indeed, she was blessedwith a keen mind and memo-ry to the end of her life, andwe were blessed to have hadsuch a fierce advocate forservices to protect olderadults in our community.

Reduce risk of Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia

Last week’s questionWhat do you think of Cincin-

nati City Council giving the goahead to resume the streetcarconstruction?

“Damn fools!!!”J.G.

“I think it’s a typical exampleof bait and switch. You tell thevoters one thing to get electedand then turn around and do theexact opposite. The new mayorshould be ashamed of himselffor ignoring the wishes of thevoters who want this projectstopped.”

C.H.

“Stupid! Just like the stadi-ums were.

“Afterall theyarepoliticianswho are only in it for them-selves. They cannot pay the re-tired firemen and policemen solet’s go into debt a little more. Ihave been to cities with street-cars and they are a gimmick.”

J.S.D.

“Great idea for Cincinnatistreetcar construction and thatMayor Cranley was big enoughto get his mind changed.

“The streetcar should meanhundreds of jobs (constructionand for operation), growth, andless smog in the city – all goodfor the area and southwestOhio’s environmental and eco-nomic future.”

TRog

“Restores my faith in com-mon sense.

“True this street car is butthe start of a proper publictransport light rail infrastruc-ture, but a journey of a 1,000miles begins with a single step.‘Nuf said.”

D.R.“Cincinnati needs to get with

it and continue tomove forward

on the streetcar construction.We need to move forward ontransportation for a change, in-stead of constantly being stag-nant (traffic jams anyone?), ormoving backwards by the pro-verbial 10 years.

“Now that downtown hasbeen inundated by young pro-fessionals who live in and actu-ally like our downtown, the restof Cincinnati needs to get out oftheir rabbit holes and get mov-ing.

“The streetcar is just a firststep that can send Cincinnatiinto a bright future instead oflagging behind.”

J.B.

“I still do not see the purposeof this street car with trafficcongestion relief or generalpublic transportation in thiscity.

“Still a waste of money likethe Bridge to Nowhere in Alas-ka! I won’t ride this thing any-time soon.”

O.H.R.

“All Ihaveasaninput is thatIwould bet the supporters to the‘rail to nowhere’ would not bewilling to signup tomakeup forthe deficit that it is going to cre-ate.Move overDetroit, herewecome.”

D.J.

Over the past three years,the state legislature has takensteps to get Ohioans back towork by creating an environ-ment in which new jobs canbe created and businesses canexpand.

Since 2011, we have madesignificant progress towardthat goal with Ohioans havingcreated more than 170,000new, private-sector jobs.

While there is still morework ahead, it is worth re-flecting on our state’s greatprogress. Three short yearsago, Ohio faced a projected $8billion budget shortfall. Thatfiscal chasmwas bridged byour willingness in the State-house to make tough choicesand recommit our state fiscaldiscipline.

Moreover, I am proud tosay that the budget gap wasfixed without raising taxes onhard-working Ohio families.During this same period, Ohioalso implemented the Com-mon Sense Initiative, whichstreamlined the state’s regu-latory process and made iteasier for small businessstart-ups to succeed.

We are now seeing theresults of those efforts asOhio’s private-sector jobgrowth continues and ourstate’s business climate im-proves.

Today, Ohioans are bene-fitting from a lower personaltax burden and an improvedeconomic climate for smallbusinesses. These reforms,which were implemented inthe state budget, form a $2.7

billion tax cut,one of thelargest single-year tax cutsin Ohio’s his-tory.

This mea-sure includesa 10 percentincome taxreductionover threeyears for allOhioans, as

well as a 50 percent cut forsmall businesses on their first$250,000 of income.

These changes, along withthe closure of several taxloopholes, produced a moreefficient tax system, capableof attracting and retainingjobs in our state.

In the Senate we under-stand that our students repre-sent our state’s future workforce and that we must helpthem develop the skills neces-sary for success. This year’sstate budget recognized thatfact by investing three quar-ters of a billion dollars inprimary and secondary edu-cation, the largest legislativeinvestment in education inmore than a decade.

Other initiatives, such asincreased aid to economicallydisadvantaged students,greater investment in earlylearning opportunities, and amore equitable school fund-ing formula highlight theGeneral Assembly’s focus onpreparing all of Ohio’s stu-dents for long-term success.

Government efficiency

remains one of our primaryfocuses in Columbus and wehave implemented severalnew initiatives to improvehow the state operates. Earli-er this year the General As-sembly passed a plan to mod-ernize Ohio’s Medicaid pro-gram.

Without reform, Medic-aid’s proportion of the statebudget would grow from 37percent in 2003 to more than50 percent by 2015. The Sen-ate’s reform plan remediesthis issue by creating ac-countability, improvinghealth outcomes, and ensur-ing the program’s long-termsustainability.

As 2013 comes to a close,Ohio’s taxes are lower, ourschools have stronger fund-ing, and the number of em-ployed Ohioans is rising.

While there is still morework ahead, we have manyreasons to be thankful thisholiday season and I believethat our state’s best days areahead of us.

I would like to thank Gov.Kasich for collaborating withthe General Assembly and Iencourage you to remainengaged throughout 2014 aswe work to maintain Ohio’sstatus as the best place to liveand raise a family.

Brrrr! Today is defi-nitely a soup day. Thetemperature in my herbgarden read 11 belowzero. I’m glad we’re notentertaining this weeksince I have my Amishwooden clothes racklined with clothes dryingby the wood stove andthat takes up a goodamount of room. Notexactly the ambience for

havingpeopleover, butall is stillgood. Asthe clothesdry, theyadd a bit ofneededmoisture tothe dry air.

Grand-son Jack

had his tonsils and ade-noids out over the holi-days, so I took over somesoups and other favoritefoods. He was able to eata bowl of the chickentortellini soup recipe thatI’m sharing today rightaway. His brothers, LukeandWill, finished it off. Itremindedme of howsomething like soup cannourish andmake onefeel special. I wanted toshare it with you becauseit really is easy andhealthful and goes to-gether in minutes.

Rita’s feel-better15-minute chickentortellini soup

The broth is easilydigestible and the garlicis an antibiotic. Good forsomeone whose appetiteis compromised. Thechicken and tortelliniprovide protein and some

carbs, and the freshgreens contain antioxi-dants.

1quart or so of low-sodiumchicken broth

1garlic clove, smashedCooked chicken – agenerous cup or so

1bag frozen cheesetortellini

Fresh greens – spinach,chard, whatever

Parmesan or Romanocheese

Put broth and garlicclove into pot. Bring toboil. Add chicken andtortellini to boiling broth.When tortellini floats totop, it’s done. Removegarlic. Stir in handfuls offresh greens. Ladle intobowls and sprinkle withcheese.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

You can leave thechicken out if you want amore broth-type soup.

More pantry herbs andspices that fight coldsand flu: Check out my

blog for these plus nicerecipes for ginger-lemontea and chilled citrusdrink.

Birdseed ringPam Freeman, a New

Richmond reader, sharedthis recipe a while back.Here’s my adaptation.Check out Pam’s seasonalcrafts on her blog onLaura’s lean beef web-site. Pam always hassomething fun and doablefor families to make to-gether.

3 cups wild birdseed1 cup sunflower seeds1 envelope unflavoredgelatin

3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour3 tablespoons corn syrup1⁄2 cup hot waterCooking sprayHeavy ribbon or string

Combine birdseed,gelatin, flour, corn syrupand water. Spray Bundtcake pan (or other bakeware) with cooking spray.Press seed mixture veryfirmly into pan. Place pan

in warm, dry place andlet sit overnight or untildry. Depending upon howwarm it is, this could takea few days.

Once the birdseedmixture is hardened, turnpan over to release ring.Tie ribbon around it andhang where birds canfind it.

Cookie cutters: Funfor the kids. Spray in-sides well and pack themixture in. Poke a hole incenter if you’re going tohang them up. After aday, you will be able togently push mixture outin one piece; it will stillbe soft but you can lay iton rack to finish drying.

Tips from Susan’sNatural World

Best vitamin supple-ments for men, womenand children. Susan Park-er of Susan’s NaturalWorld, was a guest on mycable show (Warner ac-cess, channels 8 and 15).She showed her threemost important supple-ments for men, womenand children, and took allthe mystery out of whatwe should be taking,supplement wise. Shealso made a yummy veg-etarian dish of cauli-flower (on the 2014 trendlists of good foods), on-ion, red bell pepper andpeas. Susan calls it “eat-ing the rainbow.” Checkout my blog for photos.

the “Apple Security Cen-ter” seeking accountverification information.But, a check of the send-er’s email addressshowed it did not comefrom Apple so clickingon the link it sent couldhave infected your com-puter.

Marlene, in Cincin-nati, wrote me she re-ceived an email allegedlyfromWalmart, whichclaimed it was cancelingher delivery because ofproblems with her ad-dress. She was asked toclick on a link and sendher new address. Shewrote, “I believe theemail is a hoax and scamto get my personal infosince I haven’t orderedanything fromWalmartrecently. I didn’t openthe ‘form’ they asked meto complete.”

Dan, of Green Town-ship, wrote me he re-ceived an email claimingto come from Costco andalso claiming there was adelivery delay becauseof a problem with hisaddress. The wording ofthat email is almost ex-actly the same as the oneMarlene received claim-ing to be fromWalmart.Again, Dan says he didnot click on the link re-questing his informationbecause he realized it

Years ago I heardmost email received byconsumers is junk mailof little interest to therecipients.

That’s not only just astrue today, but now youhave to watch out forspam emails designed to

steal your identity.The easiest way for

thieves to get your per-sonal information is toinfect your computerwith a virus. The virusallows the thieves accessto your information,including passwords,

which can even givethem access to your bankaccounts.

These spam emailshave been sent at anincreasing rate in recentmonth disguised as allsorts of things. For in-stance, one came from

was a scamsince hedoesn’tbelong toCostco.

Emailsare stillbeing sent,allegedlyfrom sol-diers over-seas, seek-

ing assistance movingvaluable items. The lat-est says, “Can I trustyou?” It asks for, “Assis-tance for safe keeping oftwo military trunk boxesvaluable that will be ofgreat benefit to both ofus.” Notice the grammat-ical mistakes, which arevery common in thesescam emails, becausethey often come fromoverseas where Englishis not the scammer’s firstlanguage.

Finally, here’s one ofthe most interestingspam emails I’ve seen ina long time. It says, “No-tice to Appear in Court.”It gives a case numberand says, “This is to ad-vise that you are re-quired to attend thecourt of Washington inJanuary 8, 2014 for thehearing of your case.” Ihope you noticed thegrammatical errors. Itgoes on,“Please, kindlyprepare and bring the

documents related to thiscase on the date men-tioned above. Attendanceis compulsory. The copyof the court notice isattached to this letter,please, download andread it thoroughly.”

Once again, the gram-matical mistakes arenumerous in those sen-tences as well. From thelanguage I can tell thisalso came from overseas– and the email addresswith it shows it did notcome from any court-house. But it mightprompt someone to clickon the link provided tosee if they can figure outwhat’s going on. Thatwould be a mistake be-cause it most likely con-tains a virus to steal yourpersonal information.

Bottom line, be verycareful of emails con-taining links – even thosethat appear to come fromreputable companies andagencies. All too oftenthey are just scams hop-ing to get you to click ontheir link so they cansteal from you.

Howdy Folks,The NewYear’s Eve is

over and we celebratedthe holiday in a goodmanner. Ruth Ann hadChester on her lap. Wehad a big celebration witha glass of eggnog andsome potato chips. Whenthe ball in New Yorkdropped we were sleep-ing real good, with Ches-ter laying by our heads.On NewYear’s Day wehad the traditional dinnerof pork and sauerkrautwith mashed potatoeswhile watching the pa-rade on TV.

We have a scratchingpost for Chester and he issetting on top watchingthe birds eating his dryfood that I had put out-side for a stray cat thatcomes around about oncea week.

There is a big doorwith glass in it so he canwatch the outside activityof the birds feeding. It isimportant to keep thefeeders filled for thebirds and the suet blocksfor the birds to feed on.

I tell you if an animalcan love Chester sureloves Ruth Ann. If shegoes to the kitchen fromthe living room he goesafter her. I don’t mean hedoesn’t like me, he willspend time with me ifRuth Ann is not handy. Hewill take a nap in theafternoon, for about threehours. Then he is woundup good. We sure enjoyhim.

We had a lady fromMilford that called usasking about Chester andthanking us for keeping

the cat, shesaid shehad adopt-ed a catand dog.We thankher for thecall andalwaysglad whenfolks likethe article

we write and askingabout Chester. Well folkshe is very spoiled but welike him.

About resolutions, wedon’t usually make onebut we both decided toread the Bible eachmorn-ing, we started with Gen-esis. We have the Bibleslaying on the table toremind us to do this eachmorning. That is a goodthing for both of us. Wehave always read, andstudied in Sunday school,and in bible studies.
