CLERMONT COUNTY — TheClermont County Conventionand Visitors Bureau soon willhave a new website.

The former site, which wasup for about seven years, is un-der renovation as visitors bu-reauboardmembersplananewdirection.

“We felt it was time to redo(the site),” said countyCommis-sioner David Uible.

Under the leadership of In-terim Executive Director ChrisSmith, members are focusingtheir efforts onhow tobetter at-

tract visitors.“We’re trying

to do a balancingact tocontinue lo-cal support, butemphasizebring-ing in outsidepeople and out-side dollars togenerate new

revenue streams,” Smith said.Uible said the bureau hired

consultantMark Faust, who hasworkedwith visitors bureaus inSan Francisco, St. Louis andCincinnati, to help develop aplan and mission statement toguide them.

Bureau members are partic-

ularly trying tofocus on bring-ing visitors whowill stay in thecounty one tothree days andspend money inthe county, Uiblesaid.

Smith saidmembers have met with hotelpartners to learn what types ofactivities generate room rent-als.

ThebureaualsoaskedMiamiTownship Multimedia Coordi-nator Will Menz to work on thewebsite.

In addition to targeting visi-

tors fromoutsidethe county, bu-reau membersare trying tomake the newwebsite more us-er-friendly andinclude moremedia, Menzsaid.

Smith said the new website,which is expected to be up byMarch 1, should have more fre-quent updates and will incorpo-rate more presentations andphotos than before.

Bureaumembersalsoareex-ploring other platforms forreaching community members

and outside visitors.County communications di-

rector Annette Meagher re-cently began promoting thecounty on the Clermont CountyOhio Government Facebookpage.

“The intent is to make theFacebook page another plat-form to act as a community bul-letin board,” Smith said. “It’sjust another way to reach theaudience.”

BATAVIA — Village councilmembers Feb. 4 voted to ap-prove a contract for a streetmodification project.

Council members hired theengineering and architecturalfirm Burgess & Niple to beginthe design work.

The project would involverebuilding Second and Fourthstreets and modifying MainStreet in downtown Batavia.

The hope behind the$241,000 contract now is to

have the design complete andand have bid specificationsready by June, said village Ad-ministrator Dennis Nichols.

“At thispoint,we’re justvot-ing on the concept of movingforward with the redesign ofMain Street, not a particularredesign,” said council mem-ber Steve Staton.

Burgess & Niple’s cost esti-mate for the project, includingengineering services, is $4.84million.

Of the total, $985,000 wouldbe paid by an Ohio PublicWorks Commission grant. A

loan from the Ohio PublicWorks Commission would cov-er $1.35 million. The villagewould pay the remaining $2.52million with 20-year bonds.

Engineers now are able tobegin surveying and asking forpublic input for the design.

When the design is com-plete, input from council mem-bers and the public still will beneeded to approve and moveforward with it, he said.

If councilmembersapprovethedesign, construction shouldbe complete by May 2014, saidDon Bezold, senior civil engi-

neer for Burgess & Niple.“(Weshould)beall ready for

a major bicentennial celebra-tionandagrand introduction totherevitalizeddowntownBata-via,” Nichols said.

Although Burgess & Niplerepresentatives offered somepossible concepts, no designhas been done, Nichols said.

Some possible design con-cepts include widening side-walks, addingamedian, addingtrees to sidewalks andmediansand widening sidewalks near

“Vic has worked veryhard as a student and anathlete here,” said DanSimmons, Glen Este ath-letic director.

Cave, who plans to ma-jor in international busi-ness, attributes the schol-arship to, “a lot of work, alot of dedication andsmart choices.”

Some of his smartchoices include listeningto Rodney Hughes, hissixth-grade teacher atWinton Hills Academy,and listening to his fostermother, Dede Louiso.

“She’s my numberone,” he said.

When hemoved inwiththeLouiso familyofUnionTownship four years ago,he had a GPA of 1.3. WithDede pushing him to ex-cel, hebroughthisGPAupto a 3.0.

“I went from beingbarely eligible to eligible

“The expectationswere the same for him asforhis brother and sister,”Robert said.

Although Cave attri-butes his GPA improve-ment to Dede, she main-tains that he made the im-provement himself.

“He had a really goodfoundation to begin with,”

she said. “He just neededsomeguidance in therightdirection.”

Cave’s brother, JerdonLouiso, is largely respon-sible forhimreceiving theguidance he needed, Dedesaid.

“Jerdon is the one whosaid, ‘Why don’t you comelive with us?’” she said.

Jerdon and Cave metand became friends whileplaying basketball for theAmateur Athletic Union,Cave said.

When he noticed Cavewas “not acting himself,”Jerdon said he askedwhatwas going on. Cave toldhim he was having prob-lems at home, promptingJerdon to invite his friendto move into the Louisohouse.

Cave and the Louisoshadtogetusedtoeachoth-er, but ultimately, every-one adjusted, Dede said.

“I think that he hasbeenmore of a blessing tous than we have (been) tohim,” she said.

Cave said receiving thescholarship has helpedhim achieve one of hisgreatest accomplish-ments of “proving doubt-ers wrong.”

“It’s really great to seesomeone accomplishingexactly what they set outtodo,” saidGlenEsteheadfootballcoachNickAyers.“I think he is going to be aserious DI player.”

While he hopes to be“as good as” Rockets de-fensiveendT.J.Fatinikun,Dede said receiving aneducation is his priority atToledo.

to see collaboration be-tween the county govern-ment, the visitors bureauand the Clermont Cham-ber of Commerce.

“Together, with all ourresources combined, wecandomore than ifwearesiloed,” she said.

One major goal behindcollaboration is to bemore effective in infor-mation sharing, she said.

She also hopes to en-courage more interactionfrom the public. By sur-veying residents and visi-tors, visitors bureaumembers can better caterto their audience.

Bischoff saidhewasal-ready in fairly decentshape since he regularly

rides BMX bikes. He is aBMX brand manager andalso operates an onlinesite called “RadLikeDad.”

Hesaid the social gamein “Survivor” may be hisgreatest strength. “I getalongwithanytypeofper-son,” he said. “I’ll use thatto my advantage.”

However, he admitslike many previous “Sur-vivor” contestants he’ll dowhatever it takes to win.

“I’m a really nice guy,”he joked before adding,“I’m not going to be afraidto lie, cheat and steal.”

Bischoffsaidhisbeard,which is one of his mostdistinguishing character-istics, is part of his look.

“People call me ‘TheBeard,’” he said.

He also has a tattoo ofHans Langseth, who holdsthe world record for thelongest beard at morethan 17 feet.

The Buffalo WildWings restaurant, 7741Beechmont Ave., in An-derson Township, willhave some of its TVstuned to the “Survivor”show onWednesdays withactivities from 8-10 p.m.

A portion of the pro-ceeds raised at that timewill go to a charity select-ed by Bischoff called theBleeding Disorder Foun-dation. Bischoff plans toattend a number of thegatherings.

If he wins the cashprize of $1 million, Bis-choff, who is a resident ofUnion Township in Cler-mont County, said it willgo toward his family,which includes two sonsages 4 and 6.

“I need Burgess & Ni-ple to know any designthat has bump outs willnot get approval,” saidcouncil member JohnWaite. “Any design thathas trees in the middle ofthe street will not get ap-proval.”

Staton agreed thatbump outs should not be

included in the design.“We have bump outs

throughout the village,and the residents justdon’t like them,” he said.

Bezold said with thetime allotted for the de-sign process should allowfor revision if councildoes not like the result.

UNION TWP. — About200 students from Cler-mont County highschools recently discuss-ed suicide and suicideprevention during ayouth summit at Recep-tions Eastgate.

Thesummitwas facili-tated by the ClermontCounty Suicide Preven-tion Coalition and theClermont County MentalHealth and RecoveryBoard and is the second ifits kind for the county. Aprevious summit washeld in 2010.

Thepurposewas togetinput from teenagersabout suicide and to gen-erate ideas for curtailingthe problem amongyouths.

“They’re the experts,being teens,” said LeeAnn Watson, ClermontCounty Mental Healthand Recovery Board as-sociate director.

Students were select-ed for the summit basedon essays submitted toschool counselors ex-plaining why they want-ed to take part.

“I wanted to partici-pate because I wanted tohelp with suicide preven-tion and help other stu-dents cope with dailylife,” said Goshen HighSchool student AlexBurns.

Carly Aselage of Cler-mont Northeastern saidshe has known peoplewho have committed sui-cide.

“(I wanted) to learnmore about how to stop itand talk to others to pre-vent it more,” Aselagesaid.

Students formed cir-cles, with10 students andone facilitator in eachgroup. The facilitatorsincluded representativesfrom Child Focus and UCClermont nursing and so-cial work students.

For about two hours,

students and facilitatorsdiscussed questions suchas “Why do teens attemptto take their lives?” and“What canbedone to helpprevent youth suicides?”

“It gives the students avoice,” said Deb Clancy,chair of the ClermontCounty chapter of theAmericanFoundation forSuicide Prevention. “It’sa way for them to step upand want to make achange.”

Clancy, who lost herhusband to suicide, saidwhen people step up andtalk about suicide, ithelps others talk about itand not feel ashamed orstigmatized.

“Suicidal ideology isnormal,” Clancy said.“What’s not normal iswhen youmake a plan forit.”

Clancy said bullyingand social media are twocatalysts contributing tosuicide among youths.Both subjects were re-curring themes in thestudent discussions.

Counselors, mentalhealth professionals andpastoral counselors werepresent to talk with stu-dents who thought theyor someone they knowmight need help.

Students were givenan opportunity to shareideas for suicide preven-tion during an open micsession after the groupdiscussions.

Watson said resultsfrom the summit will beshared in a communitytown hall in January.Counselors, mentalhealth professionals andsuicide prevention or-ganizations will workwith the community todevelop an action planbased on the results.

For more information,contact the CincinnatiChapter of the AmericanFederation for SuicidePrevention at 732-7040.For those who think theyor someone they knowmay need help, the Cler-mont County Crisis Linecan be reached 24 hours aday, seven days a week at528-7283.

Trojans: Good showing at ECC meetUNION TWP.—When the Glen

Este Trojans won their lastleague wrestling title, the even-tual world champion CincinnatiReds had yet to report to springtraining in 1990.

On Feb. 2, coach JasonRoush’s grapplers out-pointed aheavily favoredLoveland squadto take the first Eastern Cincin-nati Conference championship.The margin was so small (0.5)that an appeal was made on be-half of Loveland.

As far asRoush is concerned,Glen Este won, the stats havebeen posted and pictures taken.

“Nobody around here’s beentold any different,” Roush said.“There will be a league vote.”

Regardless of the outcome,GlenEsteputonastellarperfor-mance against one of the topteams in the city.

“We weren’t even ranked inthe top 10 in the city,” Roushsaid. “In some polls, Lovelandwas top 10 in the state. We’vebeenrunners-upeveryyear I’ve

been head coach. To finallybreak throughwas great for ourprogram and our kids.”

It was a proud night for theschool and alumni who support

the wrestling program. It alsowas probably an indication ofthings tocomeasbothGlenEsteand Loveland return manywrestlers next year.

Glen Este sent eight to theECC finals; all freshmen orsophomores.

All four of Roush’s sopho-mores won titles, including

Gage Branson at 106 pounds,Matt Sicurella at 126, Evan Got-tis at 132 and Matt Kennedy at170.

Also triumphant were fresh-men Brandon Smith at 120 andSeth Crissman at 285.

“It came down to Glen Esteand Loveland in the heavy-weight finals,” Roush said.

Loveland’s starting state-qualifying heavyweight, An-drewAlten,was out injured, butit was still a great accomplish-ment for an above-averagesized ninth-grader to pin his re-placement. Crissman is 6-foot-6and 280 pounds and was secondin the state as an eighth-graderwhen he had to cut weight tocompete.

“It’s a big adjustment wres-tling full-grown high schoolheavyweights,but that’s thesec-ond tournament he’s won,”Roush said.

The Trojans are stocked forfuture years and Smith andCrissman could potentially befour-year champions. Of Glen

89th Ohio Infantry served with honorThomas Doughman saw a

Confederate flag bearer ad-vancing towards him as he wasserving in the 89th Ohio In-fantry during the Civil War.“Thinking that now was mychance to get a (flag bearer), Igot on my feet right by a smallsapling, resting my gun on thesapling and went to firing atthe (flag bearer).”

As the only Yankee stand-ing, Doughmanmade himself atarget. The Rebs began firingon him. The first musket ballsliced his canteen strap. Thesecond cut through his haver-sack. Then, an explosive bulletpierced his hip, showeringfragments throughout his bo-wels. Doughman went downand was carried away from thefighting by his comrades.

The sun set. Both sides wereexhausted. Most of the Union

Army quietlyretreated ingood order toChattanooga.The 89th heldits positionbecause itnever receivedits orders towithdraw. Withno ammunitionfood, or water,

its situation was dire.The men heard a large num-

ber of troops advancing behindthem. Were they reinforce-ments or the enemy? Theyattached bayonets and droppedto the ground until they knew.Words were exchanged. It wasthe enemy. More graybackscame in on their flank. It be-came apparent that they weresurrounded. A volley of shotsrang out from their flank. In

the confusion, several men ofthe 89th escaped. Col. CalebCarleton was not so fortunate;he “put the spur” to his horse,but was quickly apprehended.Two thirds of the regimentsurrendered. The 89th lost 19men, including Lt. GranvilleJackson of Wayne Township,killed in action.

Doughman found his way toa cabin and was tended to by alocal woman. When he refusedto give up his shoes, a Confed-erate soldier threatened tobash in his head with a riflebutt. The woman stayed theman’s hand and Doughmankept his shoes. He stayed inrebel custody for two weeksbefore being exchanged.Doughman was taken to aNashville hospital where heslowly recuperated, althoughhe had to fight gangrene the

rest of his life.Most of the survivors were

thrown into Confederate POWcamps where they descendedinto hell. One hundred eightmen of the 89th died of dysen-tery, scurvy and malnutrition,the second highest regimentaltotal of prison deaths in theU.S. Army (15 Clermonters areburied at Andersonville andseven in Danville, Virginia.)

A reformed 89th fought itsway south with the Army ofthe Cumberland, seeing actionat Missionary Ridge, Keene-sawMountain, Atlanta,marched with Sherman to thesea and fought in the Caroli-nas. It suffered one more in-dignity when its second set ofcolors was captured by theConfederate cavalry in Geor-gia. (William Barnes retrievedthe colors after the war from a

Confederate living in Ala-bama.)

Despite its chronic bad luck,the 89th served with distinc-tion and honor, marching in thegrand Army review in Wash-ington after the war. It mus-tered out June 13, 1865, atCamp Dennison.

William Kerns, an Ander-sonville survivor, wrote laterthat he would have volun-teered again, “if my goingwould help mean that Americacould clasp in her embrace aunited people who were freeand happy.”

Gary Knepp is the author of aforthcoming history of Clermont

County and teaches the Civil War atClermont College. This is the second

of two columns about ClermontCounty residents who served in the

military during the Civil War.

Gary KneppCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Having been a resident ofClermont County for most ofmy life, it was truly an honor tobe chosen by the people toserve as their voice in stategovernment. I know it will be achallenging experience, but Ican’t wait to get started and tohear from the people of thedistrict.

I’ve been interested in is-sues and have been involved inpolitics for decades. That iswhy I have paid close attentionto the state legislature and

recognize thestate’s need forsound leader-ship and com-mon sense.

To helpothers followthe happeningsthroughout thestate, I havepublished mynewsletter,

“The Becker Report,” for nineyears. It is also a great way forme to keep track of all things

public policy-related that oc-cur in Ohio.

Our state has experiencedsome difficult times during therecession - as has most of thecountry - but under the leader-ship of Gov. Kasich and thelegislature, our state is re-bounding. It is my sincereintention to work with mem-bers of both parties to continuemoving Ohio down a path ofeconomic growth and job cre-ation. Everything hinges on astrong economy, and without it,

it is hard to accomplish any-thing else.

The people of ClermontCounty have meant a lot to me.It is truly a great place to raisea family, and I knowmy wifeand daughter feel the sameway. Frankly, there is no placeI would rather live. I want toinvite all of you to contact myoffice to share your ideas,concerns and questions. Yourinvolvement will help me bet-ter serve your needs fromColumbus.

I want to thank you for en-trusting me with this responsi-bility.

Last week’s question:How does Greater Cincinnati

Airport’s announcement that alow-cost carrier, Frontier Air-lines,will be operating from theairport affect you? Are youmore or less likely to fly fromCVG as opposed to another re-gional airport?

“Before retirement, andwhile working for a major na-tional corporation, I flew ev-ery week from CVG. That waswhen they had four active ter-minals. Now that I am retiredand paying formy own flights,and due to the extreme cost ofall flights from CVG I shopand usually fly from one ofthree other airports. Thanksto web sights like Hipmonk-.com and CheapOair.comflight cost from various air-ports are easily obtained find-ing themmuch less expensivethen CVG.

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

B.K.

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

“Having said that, however,I have seen media discussionabout the concern over Fron-tier’s initial low rates, whichprobablywill adversely affectDelta Airlines’ operatingprofits. Some of that discus-sion speculates that it mayeven cause Delta to leave, andwhen Frontier is left withoutcompetition it may well raiseits rates.

“One of the few benefits ofgetting old is that I don’t haveto travel on business anymore, so this situation will notaffect me directly.”

Bill B.

“That depends on the costof the new carrier’s tickets. Sofar, by reputation, CVG hasbeen very costly to fly out ofcompared to Dayton or Indi-anapolis, mainly due to theirlow operating and overheadcosts of what CVG has.

“I have flown out of Daytonin the past for almost one-halfto one-third the cost of CVG,

get onto a plane which takesme to CVG and Imake the con-necting flight from there. Idon’t see the logic of CVG.”

O.H.R.

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

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

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

D.J.

“I’m not a regular airlineuser, but I am glad to see somecompetition come to CVG.Frontier’s arrival proves onceand for all that Deltawasmak-ing excessive profits. Sad tosay, that’swhatmost business-es do in the absence of compe-tition.”

R.V.

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

J.R.B.

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

J.G.

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

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

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

disagree with Duke Energy’s re-quest for a 24 percent increasein electric rates and an 18 per-cent increase in gas rates whensome of the money is expectedto be used to move utilities forthe streetcar project in Cincin-nati? Why or why not ?

“Disagree. What the politi-cians seem to not understand,is that there are some thingsthat you can dowhen the econ-omy is going great, but thatyou should not do when theeconomy is barely crawlingalong. This administrationseems to believe you canspend your way out of a reces-sion. Pet projects like thestreetcar should be put on theback burner in times likethese. A good example of thisis the way the E.P.A regula-tions have caused utilities toshut down200 of the coal-firedpower plants ( Beckjord plantin 2015) without first replac-ing them with other means. Ihave yet to hear how manywindmills and solar panels itwill take to replace a coal-fired power plant. They arenot there yet. Are we going to

have to cover the whole south-ern part of the statewithwind-mills to replace Beckjord.Some may say that they sendmost of the energy fromBeck-jord out of state, but thatdoesn’t matter. It still willcome off the energy grid. Wewill face brownouts and blackouts in the future by doingthings this way. You can’t getthe cart before the donkey.

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

One morning, a long timeago, in her backyard garden,Nancy Orlando and her hus-band found their harvest allgone. While her husband wasupset theanimalsateuphisgar-den, a book sprouted fromwith-inNancy’s imagination. “AGar-den! A Garden!” is her idea ofwhat the animals did that nightin her garden.

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

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

DebbiKern is a retiredAme-lia Elementary School artteacher who continues to useher art skills as a pet portraitartist. Bringing animals to lifewith pen and ink artistic detail,Kern,who lives inAmelia, com-bines her talents with therhythm and rhyme storytellingstyle of Orlando to capture theimaginations of young readers.

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

“When we go to the schools,

Debbi tells the kids: ‘This ladyhas the mind of a writer,’” Or-lando said. “When the animalsdestroyed my garden, I got an-gry, she wrote a story.”

Orlando says the story actu-ally wrote itself very quicklyafter she had the idea while shelaughed in the garden thatmorning long ago.

“I went down to my comput-er and the words just cameout,” she said. “I did it inrhyme.”

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

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

new book.“They passed it around and

said ‘Okay, what are you goingto do next,”Orlando recalled. “Isaid ‘I have a children’s story,but I never have found an illus-trator to work with.’ I heard athroat-clearing sound from theback of the room.”

It wasDebbi Kern. They hadknown one another through thebible studygroupat church, butOrlandodidn’t realizeKernwasa retired artist. They forged afriendship and business part-nership, which has already re-sulted in two books and thereare more on the way.

“It was a perfect fit for me,”saidKern. “Myfavorite formofart is pen and ink. I really start-ed drawing people’s pets. Itcame about when I wentthrough breast cancer in 1996.”

During her cancer treat-ment, friends were all trying tokeep Kern busy. One of themasked her to draw a portrait ofher dog. It turned into a kind ofbusiness for her.

“It became my favoritething to do… retired,” she said.“I’m a pet portrait artist. SoNancy’s story, being all aboutanimals, was perfect forme be-cause I like drawing animals. Itwas a perfect fit.”

In “Good Grief! Its Winter!”the animals try to figure outhow to survive in the winter.The use of detailed drawingsand true-to-life facts of whatreal animals would eat in thegarden and how they survivereal winters make the books ahit with teachers. The animalsspeaking and interaction whenOrlando and Kern go into theschools have made them a hitwith the kids.

“It’s been great,” Kern said.“Because it is interactive, thekids enjoy it. They’re interest-ed in listening for the responsesthey get to chime in with. Thereactions have been amazing.We’ve been invited back.”

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

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

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

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

The centerpiece of therenovated connectorspace is the new Konnekt

Cyber Café.“As we designed the

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

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

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

“We wanted to have aunique spelling for theca-fé name. So we looked atthe words, Cyber and Cy-bernetics, then we wentback and looked at theGreek spelling or root ofthose terms. They arebased on theGreekwordsKyberre or Kybernan. Inkeeping with the style oftheGreekwords,wewere

led to the spelling of Kon-nekt,” said Young.

The first phase of theKonnekt Cyber Café atUC East is complete withspace for students to so-cialize, connect wireless-ly to the Internet or usethe dedicated computersanytime the campus isopen. Phase Two will in-corporate food service inthe spring.

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

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

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

Let’s start with some-thing forValentine’sDay sincethat is oneof my fa-voritespecialdays.When Iwas a kid,sweetswere a realtreat, due

in part to Mom’s leanbudget and her and myDad’s desire to feed thenine of us children ahealthy diet. So when Iwas 16 and received myfirst Valentine box ofcandy frommy boy-friend, Jim, I was inchocolate heaven. I’vegotten lots of Valentine’streats since then, butnone can take the placeof that first heart ofdrugstore chocolates.

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

“I love you”chocolate coveredcherries

These are amazinglyeasy to make and look

stunning in a heartshaped box. This recipeis appropriate for Presi-dents’ Day, too. Remem-ber the story of GeorgeWashington admitting tochopping down his Dad’scherry tree because hecouldn’t “tell a lie.”

1 jar l0 oz., maraschinocherries with stems

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

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

3 tablespoons butter,

softened3 tablespoons light cornsyrup

2 cups powdered sugar12 ounces or so meltedchocolate

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

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

To store: Store intightly covered containerin frig. Bring to roomtemperature before eat-ing.

Cake pops: Recipe onmy blog. Fun for kids.

Check out photo ofgrandson, Jack, deco-rating cake pops hemade.

Heart healthyvegetarian redbeans and rice

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

1generous cup choppedonion

1generous teaspoon garlic,minced

1-2 teaspoons cumin1 teaspoon chili powder ormore to taste

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

4 cups low sodium, fat freevegetable or chickenbroth

Salt and pepper to tasteGarnish: Thinly sliced greenonions, chopped tomatoes

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

Tip from Rita’s kitch-

en: Beans are calledcancer-licking legumes –high in fiber and proteinand low in fat.

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

NON-DENOMINATIONAL

Why would someonesend a check for sever-al thousand dollars to atotal stranger?

Although it soundscrazy, ithappenseveryday. But ifyou getone thosechecksand de-posit ityou couldend uplosingthousands

of dollars.Sending checks to

strangers has beengoing on for years withthe sender giving awide variety of reasonsfor the check. But allthese scams have onething in common – thechecks they send youare phony and the mon-ey you are to send themwill be real.

Katelin Willman ofBrookville received

one of these checksafter she advertised fora job on the Internet.

“I’ve received sever-al different job offers.Most of them seem tobe scams but this one inparticular told me Icould advertise on mycar so it seemed reallygood, easy money. All Ihave to do is drivearound,” Willman said.

Willman told thatemailer she was in-terested.

“All of a sudden hesent me a check in themail for more than$2,400. The job offerwas only for like $300.It seemed a little fishyto me and that’s when Icontacted you,” Will-man said.

I asked if she wassupposed to keep theextra $2,100 as somekind of advance on hersalary, but she said no.Willman said she wastold, “Put it in my bankaccount, then get a

money order for theextra money and sendit out.”

“The check lookedlegitimate and real butit just sounded weird,”Willman said.

Another sign thiswas a scam is the send-er didn’t enclose theplacard with the ad thatwas to be placed on theside of her car. All shereceived was the phonycheck. It seems veryclear all the sender wasinterested in was themoney.

When Willmanemailed the sendersaying she knew it wasa scam, he wrote back.

“He said the FBI wasafter me because Icashed their check andI better send the moneyor else they’re going tocome after me … Thesad thing is a lot ofpeople are going to fallfor it and they’re goingto have their bank ac-counts drained,” Will-

man said.Unfortunately, Will-

man is correct; a lot ofpeople have fallen forthis scam. In fact, theFederal Trade Commis-sion says fake checksare being used in agrowing number offraudulent schemes,including secret shop-per scams, foreignlottery scams, checkoverpayment scamsand Internet auctionscams.

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

Sometimes the pho-ny checks look likelegitimate cashier’schecks or postal moneyorders, but they are

never real. In all casesyou are told to depositthe check into yourbank account. Then youmust send them yourgood money via West-ern Union or MoneyGram – and that moneycan’t be traced. In fact,the thieves can pick upthe money at just aboutany location, often out-side the United States.

Phony checks cantake weeks to discoverand you are responsiblefor any funds you with-draw from the bankagainst that check.Remember, once yousign the back of a checkand deposit it, the bankwill hold you respon-sible if that checkdoesn’t clear.

If youridedownCollegeDrive inBatavia,you willsee theconstruc-tion siteof Dim-mittWoods

senior housing complex.Thebuilding isunderroof,which allows the interiorto beworked on all winter.The project is scheduledfor occupancy around theend of May or early June.

This is the seventh sen-ior housing project spear-headed by Clermont Sen-ior Services. DimmittWoods is a 40-unit apart-ment building, and is rentsubsidized. All units arecarpeted and have indi-vidually controlled airconditioning and heating.In addition, each unit hasemergency medical pullcords, sprinkler systemsand smoke detectors. Anelevator, coin-operatedlaundry room, library andcommunity room areavailable for resident use.

These common roomsare important becausethey promote friendshipsand socialization amongresidents. The new resi-dents in each buildinghave commented on howmuch they love their newhome and how nicely dec-orated are the commonsrooms. They enjoy spend-ing time with their neigh-bors.

DimmittWoods isanin-dependent living facility.However, supportive ser-vices, such as personalcare, homemaking,Meals-on-Wheels andtransportation are avail-able through ClermontSenior Services. Theseservices often make thedifference in a senior liv-ing independently.

“We are excited aboutthe opening of our newestsenior apartment buildingand delighted to be able tooffer a broad range of ser-vices to the residents,”said Cindy Gramke, exec-utive director, ClermontSenior Services. Theagency provides theseandother services toeligi-ble Clermont County resi-dents.

Applicants must be atleast 62 years of age andmeet certain incomeguidelines. Rent is basedon each individual’smonthly net income. Allutilities are included inthe monthly rent excepttelephone.

Anyone whowould likemore information aboutthis building and others inClermont County shouldcall Linda Arnold at 513-688-1700. It will fill upquickly, so call soon.

Applications from resi-dents of the Village of Ba-tavia and Batavia Town-shipwill begiven first pri-ority in filling DimmittWoods. As in the case ofour other six senior hous-ing facilities, we antici-pate that all units will beleased at occupancy.

An open house dedica-tion program will be an-nounced in the spring.

BUILDING PERMITS

ABOUT BUILDING PERMITSThese requests have been filed with the Clermont Coun-

ty Permit Central.

Howdy folks,Last week we had

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

This cat of ours,“Chessy,” proved this tous. When we are gettingready for bed, she will goget in her chair that shesleeps in, and there she isthe next morning. She issuch a blessing. An ani-mal seems to know if aperson likes them or not.When Tony and Kate arehere, Chessy will get inTony’s lap and wantssome petting. Otherfolks, she will run and

hide. Shedoesn’t likethe snow,and doesn’twant to gether feetwet andcold. Shewill set ona flowerstand byour kitchen

table and look out thewindow. When we arewatching television, shewill jump onmy lap thenjump down, run to thedoor. If I don’t get up, shewill come back and do itagain until I let her out.Last week there was a bigflock of grackle birds atthe feeders. She waslooking out the window,then wanted out to try tocatch one of them. WhenI opened the door, theyflew, but Chessy ran towhere they were. I don’tthink she could catch one,but you never know, sheis fast.

In this weather, thebird feeders need to be

filled quite often. Thesuet blocks we and every-one has need to be keptout for the birds. Theitems in the suet blockssure have heat energy forthe birds. The wood-peckers are sure workingon ours. We had somecrackers that were stale,so we put them out forthe birds and a couplecrows sure liked them.Everything has to eat tosurvive. The deer aredigging in the snow in ouryard trying to find somegrass to eat. They areeating on the yuccaplants along our drive-way. These plants aresure tough.

I talked to Mike at theBoars Head Bait Shop.He said a few folks werefishing. Some went downto the Ohio River to fishfor sauger, but the riverwas too high. Last Sat-urday was the last dayfor deer hunting. Therabbit season is still openfor hunting. Some folksare hunting for coyotes.

This group seems to begetting bigger each year.I was talking to a farmerthat feeds cattle outsidewith hay. He said he hasseen several deer eatinghay with the cattle. Thedeer have to have food,too. He said some of thebucks have lost one oftheir antlers, some havelost both. So he said hewould start looking fortheir antlers in his fields.Some farmers have hadflat tires on their tractorsdue to running over adeer antler and that isexpensive. So they will beon the lookout for theantlers. When some arefound, there are markson the antler where micehave been chewing onthem.

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

your neighbors.We have started prun-

ing the grape harbor andfruit trees. We are put-ting fertilizer on the as-paragus beds, fruit treesand berry vines, andgetting the raised bedsready to fertilize them.The green onions are stilllooking good sticking upthrough the snow.

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

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

Mark your calendarfor the Buford FarmersInstitute Feb. 22, the lastFriday of the month. Wealways take an item toauction off to help themkeep having this pro-gram. They will havefood from 4 p.m. til 6 p.m.

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

TheMonroe Grangelost another former mem-ber last week. It wasalways a pleasure to bewith Homer ClaytonCorbin. He and his wifeCarol did several craftshows, and always en-joyed doing the one in theCraft Barn at the OhioValley AntiqueMachin-ery Show. Homer will bemissed by his family andmany friends.

Start your week bygoing to the house ofworship of your choiceand praise the Good Lord.God bless all. More later.
