BATAVIA — Highlightingwhat is possible when multiplejurisdictions come togetherwith a like-minded goal, Cler-mont County leaders are pro-viding more details about aunique funding opportunitythat wasmade possible throughthe state of Ohio.

The Clermont County Trans-portation Improvement Dis-trict, Clermont County Engi-neer’s Office, Union Township,JobsOhio and the Ohio Depart-ment of Transportation recent-ly worked together to plan andaccelerate several major roadprojects to open up and supporttheEastgate area, a growing re-

gional employment center vitalto southwest Ohio and the re-gional economy.

Last year, three ClermontCounty manufacturers an-nounced expansions: A & PTechnology, Inc., L-3 Fuzing &Ordnance Systems and Multi-Color Corporation.

Local transportation offi-cials identified more than $1million in roadway and localnetwork improvements thatwere needed to improve access,safety and travel in the vicinityof the three companies.

Representatives from the lo-cal Transportation Improve-ment District, Engineer’s Of-

fice and Union Townshipworked with JobsOhio and thestate department of transporta-tion’s Jobs &nd Commerce Of-fice to leverage local funds tosecure state roadwork grantscovering nearly 85 percent ofthe cost of the combined pro-jects.

Roadwork projects will nowmove forward at the MerwinTenMile intersectionwith stateRoute 125, on McMann Roadand the intersection ofOld stateRoute 74 and East Tech Drive.Following the roadway im-provements and planned localbusiness expansions — whichwould not have been possible

without the infrastructure up-grades – the three companieswill collectively employ nearly1,400 people.

“I’ve been in public servicefor more than 30 years and I’venever seen anything like this,”said Ken Geis, Union Townshipadministrator and a member ofthe transportation improve-ment district’s board of trust-ees.

“The level of responsivenessand support from the state toaddress our employers’ trans-portation needs has been in-credible.

“The governor, ODOT andthis rapid-response Jobs &

Commerce team get it,” Geissaid.

A new arts venture iscoming to ClermontCounty.

The Batavia TheatreProject, startedbyBethelresidents Adam and Lau-raHaskell,will beginper-formances this summer.

“It’s anopportunity fora community that, in mymind, has lost its identitya little bit,” said Adam,who grew up in Batavia.“For both of us it’s twopassions coming together… and we really want tosee the community dowell.”

And it’s all coming to-gether very quickly – ittook less than twomonthsto go from an idea to se-curing local partnershipsto having a venue and aschedule.

For the first season,set to kick-off in Augustbefore the village bicen-tennial, there are twoweeks of Shakespeare’s“A Midsummer Night’sDream” at SycamorePark.

“A festival of theatercould bring thousands ofpeople to the area,” saidAdam, who was involvedin theater during highschool and has a profes-sional background in de-velopment and engineer-ing.

“Our goal is to bring in1,500 (this year), butthere is no reasonwhywewon’t have more, and ithas an immediate impactto the community. Wewant this be approach-able and affordable andto revitalize the areathrough art and culture.”

Laura, who has beenperforming since shewasa teenager and has beenpart of professional thea-ter companies around thecountry, said they’veturned to friends andfamily with arts back-grounds to help with thefirst season.

Since beginning thisventure, Laura saidthey’ve met so many tal-ented local people whowant to help and be a partof the Batavia TheatreProject.

“We really want thecommunity to get in-volved and support us,”she said. “Wewant to cre-ate jobs locally as muchas we can and give a cre-ative outlet to those whodon’t have that outlet any-more.”

The Batavia TheatreProject is anonprofit, andAdam said the ultimategoal is to find a perma-nent home and get othercommunity groups in-volved.

“If you look at the his-tory of the community, itwas one that did things to-gether,” he said. “Wewant to help bring backan identity to Batavia.The art is important, butit’s also a boost to theeconomy.”

Auditions for the sum-mer season are set forFriday, May 23, and Sat-urday, May 24.

structure like that it re-sults in an immediateimprovement to thehabitat,” she said.

“One of the primaryreasons communitiesremove dams is be-cause they’re a danger– some people havebeen trapped in the riv-er and they’re dubbeddrowningmachines be-cause of the hydrau-lics.”

Thedamandapumphouse were built nearthe Main Street bridgein the 1940s to providethe villagewith awatersupply. The village nowgets its water thoughthe county system andthe dam and pumphouse are no longerused.

Jobs & Commerceworks with communitiesand JobsOhio to developand deliver roadwork foreconomic developmentprojects more quicklythan might have other-wise been possible.

In 2012, the first yearfor JobsOhio and Jobs &Commerce, ClermontCounty and Union Town-ship leaders securedgrantsforroadwork intheEastgate area to supporttheTotalQualityLogisticsexpansion and the newCincinnati Children’sHospital Clermont Cam-pus.

“Clermont County andUnion Township leader-shiphave theknow-howtoreally stretch local dol-lars by leveraging stateroadwork grants,” saidMelissa Taylor, southwestOhio regional managerfor the Office of Jobs &Commerce.

“Theybringprojects toour attention early and of-ten and have the localmuscle’ to make themhappen.

“They do their part totake care of their existingemployers, and we’re do-ing our part to ensure thesame level of responsive-ness and support,” Taylorsaid.

Clermont CountyEngi-neer and transportationimprovement districtboard member Pat Man-ger said, “We’re puttingourbest foot forwardherein Clermont County bybringing together the re-sources to stimulate ourlocal economy and sup-port job growth withtransportation improve-ments.

MILFORD — It’s a trea-surehunt trickedoutwithsmart phones and hand-held GPS devices.

It’s an interactivegame that rolls smoothlybetween technology and

outdoor adventure.It’s called “geocach-

ing,” and you can play forfree in Milford throughSept. 30.

The city has put to-gether a new “MilfordGeoTrail” with a website(www.MilfordGeoTrail.com) where people canget information about thehuntandsignup topartic-ipate.

Along theway,Milfordofficialshopeplayerswillget to know the city andbe impressedwithwhat ithas to offer.

When you take a tripon the Milford GeoTrailyou are looking forcaches made of alumi-num and ranging in sizefrom ammo cans to con-tainers just big enough tohold a pencil eraser.

“Participating playersseek to locate hidden con-tainers, called ‘caches,’using their smart phone

or (global-positioningsystem navigatingunits),” said Pam Hol-brook, assistant Milfordcity manager.

“Ageotrail like the oneMilford has created is aseries of caches, usuallyincluding some type of‘passport’ to fill out (witha code word associatedwith each cache).

“Participants whocomplete their passportby visiting all stops andrecording a code wordare eligible for a specialcommemorative geo-coin,” Holbrook said.

Jesse Tuttle of IndianHill, who heads a local“geotourism” groupcalled the AFK Project(www.afk.us), gives play-ers this advice:

“The containers couldbe covered with some-thing, hanging in a tree orinplainsight,”Tuttle said.

“Just remember, theywill never be buried.”

The AFK ProjecthelpedMilford put its ge-otrail together.

The group haslaunched more than 130geocaches around theTristate in the past year.

“We currently workwith a number of local or-

ganizations to raiseawareness of the art, his-tory and culture ofGreat-erCincinnati (throughge-ocaching),” Tuttle said.

“Initiallyweoffered toaidMilfordas they initiat-ed this beforewewere in-volved. Since then wehave been astonished atthe charismatic nature ofthe town,” Tuttle said.

“Aswehaveconnectedwith city officials and lo-cal business owners, wehavebeenwelcomedwithopen arms and have beengiven some freedoms toexperiment with ideasnew to the geocachingcommunity.”

New Richmond’s Monroe ElementaryArt & Earth Club artists worked to raisemoney for the Rainforest Alliance’sAdopt-a-Rainforest program as part oftheir Earth Day celebration.

“The students learned about defor-estation and the problems this causes thesurrounding ecosystems and they learnedhow the Rainforest Alliance works to helpstop the deforestation and restore therainforests to healthy ecosystems,” Mon-roe Elementary visual arts teacher AdrianHawk said.

Club members designed buttons to sellto their friends and family. Through the

selling of the buttons, the AECmemberswere able to raise awareness and informothers of the devastating happeningswithin the Earth’s rainforests.

“Everyone who purchased a buttonwore them on Earth Day to show theirlove and support for our Earth. The grandtotal of money raised by the AECmem-bers for the Rainforest Alliance’s Adopt-a-Rainforest programwas $380.16,” Hawksaid.

BATAVIA — When the goinggets tough... well, you know therest.

By all accounts it’s been atough spring for the BataviaHigh School track team.

Lownumbersonthegirlsside- only seven runners andnobodyin field events - left little oppor-tunity for team success. JuniorHolly Schmitgen emerged as asolid contributor in the sprints,but head coach Mike Hatfieldhasstruggledtofindagoodcom-bination of runners to competein the relays.

It’s a little better on the boysside. No field performers forthem, either, but the Bulldogshave better depth in the sprints.And the distance corps featuressenior twins Hunter and GriffinStith taking their last laps in Ba-tavia uniforms.

They’re ready to get going -bothontherestof theseasonandtheir futures in running.

“They’re the leaders of ev-erything,” said boys head coachBrianLyons. “They’reasgoodasa coach could ask for in terms ofhowtheyconduct themselvesonand off the track.

“If ever there were two kidswho were born to lead, it’s thosetwo. The other kids see theworkit takestobesuccessful.Theoth-er kids react to that and theyhave to push themselves harderto keep up with them.”

Lyons said juniors RyanCooper and Xavier Hendryx -bothofwhomrunthe800meters- have particularly benefitedfrom training with the Stiths.

“We’re just following in thefootsteps,” Hunter Stith said.“When we were freshmen therewas a group of juniors who kindof took us under their wings. Idon’t know. If we hadn’t hadthem, we might not have stayedin distance running.”

Distances on the track aredifferent from their cross coun-try runs.

“In cross country all thecourses are different and youhave to take a different ap-proach each race,” Hunter said.“In track it’s the same every-where and you can just go for a(personal record) every timeyou run. The training in track isa lot shorter reps.”

Griffin and Hunter finished2-3 in the 3,200-meter run at theMariemont Invitational May 8,Griffin running a 10:26 andHunter on his heels in 10:33.

AMELIA — His advice to thebaseball players he coached isto approach their game with noregrets and to be willing to putin the work.

Baseballmirrors lifeforJeffHurt, who worked hard coach-ing at his alma mater, AmeliaHighSchool.Hehasalsobattledrelentlessly against a difficultopponent in cancer.

He knows more than mostthat sometimes the ball doesn’tbounce your way.

Nowjust38yearsold,hewasdiagnosed with a brain tumornearly 10 years ago and hassince fought through multiplesurgeries, radiation treatmentsand four different rounds ofchemotherapy.

At one point last November,he was told he may have amonth to live.Given the side ef-fects of his most recent roundof drugs, Hurt recently madethe courageous decision to for-go further treatment.

“He said he took it for threedays and was so sick,” Ameliafootball coach Randy Hospel-horn said. “He opted out andsaid he didn’t want take it anymore because he wanted tospend the rest of his time withhis wife and kid.”

A product of WestClermont schools

Hospelhorn first met Hurtwhen he coached him in Knot-hole baseball. He wouldchuckle when youngsterswould test Hurt’s arm from theoutfieldonly tobegunneddownby the lefty with a laser.

His baseball career wentfrom the Amelia Barons and toHanover College, where a rota-tor cuff injury ended his play-ing days.

In 2005, former high schoolclassmate James Collins, nowAmelia’s athleticdirector, hiredhim as junior varsity baseballcoach. He eventually took overthevarsity spot andheld the jobeven while dealing with cancertreatments last spring.

“Ourkids lovedhimfromthedayhegot the job,”Collins said.“He was always around. Hecame to all the other sportingevents.Hewasuphereasmuchas any full-time staff member.His biggest strengthwashis re-lationship with his boys. I thinkhe was a great baseball coachand a world-class human be-ing.”

At home, but missingthe dugout

When not in a wheelchair,Hurt is now propped up in bedin front of a big screen TVwatching Billy Graham anddreaming of Moonlight Gra-ham.

Some movement has lefthim, but baseball never has. Hespeaks of watching the Redstake too many pitches in an ex-tra-inning game the previousnight. His philosophy in thegame and in life comes pep-pered with baseball analogiesas he struggles with the ulti-mate curve ball.

“No regrets,” Hurt said im-mediately. “If you work hard,good things will happen. You

mightnotbe thebestplayer,butif you hustle, you’ll be goodenough. But, you’ve got to putthe time and effort in. No re-grets. You can’t go to the end ofseason saying I wish I could’vehit the curve.”

Family comes firstThe first major twist in the

life of JeffHurt and the formerTonya Moss came after theywere married almost 10 yearsago. Hurt was a 1994 Ameliagrad and Moss, 1997. They metin 1999 at her cousin’s weddingand tied the knot themselvesSept. 4, 2004, at Royal Oak

Country Club.“It was a perfect day,” Hurt

said. “I felt likewewereshiningthatday.You’resohighandthenall of a sudden, two months lat-er, I hadcancer. I hada cueball-size tumor in my head. I wastransported to Christ Hospitalfor surgery.”

In the early going, he hadsome treatment success andhad no major recurrences until2012. In between, Jeff and To-nya’s sonwas born. LoganHurtis 6 and in kindergarten at Lo-cust Corner Elementary.

“I got sick and someone elsecoached him last year in t-ball,”Hurt said. “It’s just tough.All ofthese kids I’ve invested all thistime in.”

The 2014 Barons visitedtheir old coach one afternoonand brought a smile to his face.Hurt also coached for the Mid-

land organization as he workedon the property for AmericanModern Insurance. More re-cently, hewasworkingwithMi-chaelDalyat theFlashcomplexin Hamersville until brain sei-zures forced him to stop.

Tonya Hurt has accompa-nied Jeff back and forth to Phil-adelphia for radiation fivetimes since December. BothHurts seem at peace with theirdecision to stop medical treat-ment and rely on spiritualstrength.

“It’s to the point where it’svery aggressive,” Tonya Hurtsaid. “We are praying for amir-acle. We are asking God to healhim. We’re very strong in our

Griffin reached the re-gional meet in the 1,600meters last season andhopes to get back. Thequestion iswhich event orevents will they tackle.

“In the mile I think Icould make it back to re-gionals pretty easily,”Griffin said. “But I think

in the two mile, if youmake it out of districtshere, you have a betterchance to get to state.”

Hunter ran the twomile in districts last year,posting a 10:26 and finish-ing sixth, just out of qual-ifying for the regionalmeet.

“It was a really fastfield,” he said. “You justhave to pick which raceyouwant to throwall yourchips in.”

Griffin and Hunter -sons of Colin and LesaStith - have yet to make adecision on where theywill attend college nextyear, but said they’ve nar-rowed their choices toWilmington and RioGrande and hope to makea decision soon. Both areinterested in studying nu-trition and are also con-sidering something incomputer science.

I grew up on a small farmone mile north of Fosters,along the Little Miami River.

We raised cattle, sometimeshaving as many as 200 head tofeed. So we grew grasses tomake hay and part of our workinvolved cutting, raking, bal-ing, loading wagons beforehauling to the barn and stack-ing the bales.

I was given the honor offeeding these cattle twice aday, in the morning and earlyevening. I loved it. Have youever heard the sound of a herdof cattle munching hay togeth-er?

We also grew corn and soy-

beans for feed.Lastly, werented another80 acres topasture ouranimals. So wepaid for feedeither throughour sweatequity or withcash. We gotno free feed,

unlike some ranchers in thewest. So our competition had aleg up on us getting the benefitof free or low cost feed and theability to run roughshod overthe environment while we, asowners of our property were

duty bound to act as good stew-ards of the land.

Our last year was 1966. Wehad to sell. Grandpa had re-tired from his day job and wejust weren’t making any mon-ey raising beef.

Have you ever had yourwhole way of life sold out fromunder you?

Nowadays, we have a differ-ent kind of cattleman. LikeCliven Bundy, who recently leda standoff against federal offi-cials. Some calls them thesagebrush rebellion. Otherscall them deadbeats and wel-fare ranchers. They call them-selves patriots.

We never thought of our-selves in that way. We werejust plain folks, working theland and caring for our crit-ters. We never hurt anyone. Wenever threatened anyone. Wenever aimed our weapons onanyone.

I know a few people who Iwould call patriots, even he-roes. Not one would speak ofthemselves in such terms.

I witnessed a news videorecently of a self-proclaimedpatriot with a scoped gun highabove a crowd of people inNevada and aiming at govern-ment employees who workedfor the Bureau of LandMan-

agement.Like farmers everywhere

there were times when wewere opposed to governmentpolicy. But to be prepared totake a person’s life in such anevent was unthinkable to us.Real patriots don’t act thatway!

Farming or ranching re-quire both grit and horse-sense. Having one without theother will get you in big trou-ble.

May 7 questionWhat drives you crazy about

other drivers?

“There are a few habits ofother drivers that bug me: Oneis tailgating i.e. following tooclosely behind me when I amgoing the proper speed.

“The other is the lack ofusing a turn signal.

“The final one would bethose driving with out insur-ance. It seems that half theaccidents are with drivers whodo not have the proper insur-ance. The Ohio DMV needs tobe authorized to check for andactually see an insurance cardfrom anyone getting licensetags or a driver’s license re-newal. Go Figure!”

T.D.T.

“1. Drivers who don’t stop atcrosswalks. Pedestrians whodon’t use crosswalks.

“2. Drivers who turn rightright, then immediately wait toturn left into a corner proper-ty. They could have continuedstraight and just made oneright turn without obstructingtraffic.

“3. Drivers that block anintersection when the light isgreen. If there wasn’t room foryou to clear the intersection,just wait until the next lightcycle. This also leads to theother annoying drivers thattake this opening to make a‘right turn on red,’ taking ad-vantage of the driver waitinguntil there was room for themto advance. If everyone wouldjust be a bit more patient, traf-fic should flow better as de-signed and if you don’t makethat traffic light cycle your carwill be first in line for the nextgreen light.”

“4. Two way left turn lanes(chicken lanes or suicide lanes)are not passing lanes.”

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat advice would you give tograduating high school andcollege seniors?

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

Every year, the month ofMay is designated as Men-tal Health Month, to raiseawareness about mentalillness and decrease stigmathat still surrounds the

topic. Thisyear’s themeis “MindYourHealth.”

So what isthe connec-tion betweenmental andphysicalhealth? May-be the bestway to ex-

plain that connection isusing the term “mentalwellness” instead of mentalhealth. Mental wellness iscentral to a person’s over-all health and well-being.

We hear a lot in themedia about the impor-tance of a healthy lifestyleand the preventative powerof participating regularlyin physical activities, eat-ing healthy foods and get-ting enough sleep. Ahealthy diet, exercise and

sufficient rest not onlyimpacts how your bodyfunctions, it also impactsyour mind. The mind andbody are intricately con-nected and good mentalwellness is integral to over-all health.

When individuals have“good” mental health, theycan deal better with ev-eryday problems; if theyhave “poor” mental health,daily life is difficult.

There are many choicesthat a person can adopt topromote and strengthenoverall health and mentalwellness. Living a healthylifestyle can help preventthe onset of, or an increasein, depression, anxiety andother mental health condi-tions, just as it does forheart disease, diabetes,obesity and other chronichealth problems, as well ashelp people recover fromboth health and mentalhealth conditions.

Stress has a huge impacton our lives – and our phys-ical and mental wellness –that can make it difficult to

live our lives every day.Research shows, and yourphysician may even havetold you, that stress islinked to many problemssuch as high blood pres-sure, heart disease andobesity. Stress can lead tomental health problemstoo, especially if the indi-vidual doesn’t find a way torelieve it or learn how todeal with it. Chronic stresscan leave a person feelingdepressed and unable tohandle daily living, whichin turn can result in agreater likelihood of phys-ical symptoms and illness.

One in five Americansover 18 will experience adiagnosable mental healthdisorder in a given year,and almost half (46 per-cent) will experience amental health disorder intheir lifetime. Mentalhealth issues can be ad-dressed with treatment andmedications, and even indi-viduals with serious mentalillness can recover and livenormal, productive lives.We need to be aware of our

mental state, and to voiceconcerns with mentalhealth issues just as wewould do with any physicalhealth problems.

Living a healthy lifestylemay not always be easy, butit can be achieved – gradu-ally, taking small steps andmaking changes that leadto overall success in main-taining a positive outlookand a healthy way of livingeach day. Everyone cantake steps to protect andstrengthen their bodies andtheir minds. And remember– most people don’t hesitateto seek medical care toaddress physical symp-toms. If you are not feelingmentally well, you shouldjust as easily seek helpfrom a mental health pro-fessional.

Simple, everyday thingslike slippery rugs, clutteredhallways and dark stairwayscan be dangerous for seniors

age 65 ormore living athome.

Equallysimple solu-tions – remov-ing throwrugs, addinglighting –makes thedifference inhelping sen-iors continue

to live in their homes as theyage, rather than moving on toassisted living facilities.

May is Older AmericansMonth, when the nation cele-brates and recognizes olderAmericans for their contribu-tions and gives them informa-tion to help them stay healthyand active.

All year long, we at WholeHomeModifications, a ser-vice of People Working Coop-eratively, provide the experi-ence and expertise to handleany modifications projectsthat’ll help seniors continue

living where they’d like – athome.

This year, we’re focusingon injury prevention with thetheme, “Safe Today. HealthyTomorrow.” Did you knowthat older adults are at amuch higher risk of unin-tentional injury and evendeath than the rest of thepopulation? These uninten-tional injuries result in atleast 6 million medicallytreated injuries and morethan 30,000 deaths every year.

Caregivers can help pre-vent these injuries by taking awalk through a senior’s homeand looking for potentiallyhazardous situations and tak-ing action to correct them.

Potential modificationsinclude:

Stairways»Make sure all handrails

are not broken and are se-curely fastened.

» Both sides of the stepsshould have handrails.

Floors and rugs» If floors are hardwood,

tile, or laminate, invest innon-slip hard sole shoes.

»Make sure all throw rugs

are removed.Bathroom» Remove soap build-up in

tub or shower on a regularbasis to keep tubs from get-ting slippery.

»Have grab bars mountednot only at the toilet, but inthe bath and shower on wallswith secure reinforcements,to prevent the bars from com-ing loose. Many attractiveoptions are now available.

» Remove bathroom floormats or ensure there is a non-slip pad under them.

» Add adhesive strips tobathtub and shower floors.

Kitchen» Items that you use fre-

quently, such as dishes andfood items should be easy toreach.

» If you have to use a stepstool, make sure that it is thekind that has a bar at the topto hold on to.

Lighting» Place nightlights or mo-

tion activated lights in hall-ways, bedrooms, bathroomsand stairways.

» Install light switches atthe top and bottom of stairs.

Outside your home» Consider adding ramps

or handrails for safe entryand egress.

At Whole HomeModifica-tions we know that todayseniors want to stay in theirhomes longer, with fewer than5 percent living in nursinghomes. But to do so, barriersthat can be major challengesfor people with decreasedmobility and ability need to beremoved to ensure their safe-ty.

By taking action and imple-menting some of these recom-mendations, or by workingwith a professional modifica-tions team of certified agingin place specialists, you’ll notonly be making their homessafer, you’ll be giving your-self peace of mind.

You can learn more abouthomemodifications and evensign up for a free assessmentwith one of our certified ex-perts by visiting www.whole-home.org.

Here we were, wish-ing for warmer weatherand it finally arrived.That means asparagus,and lots of it.

Every day I go out tothe asparagus patch andharvest a couple ofpounds at least. And it’snot a big patch.

With all the otherspring chores, like till-ing and planting andsowing, there isn’t a lotof time to plan for orprepare supper. Lucki-

ly, the“girls”/hens arekeepingup withour de-mand ofeggs, sobetweenthat andthe abun-dance ofaspara-

gus, supper is a nobrainer.

Asparagus baconquiche

Leftovers microwavewell. The ends of aspar-agus are tough. Aftercleaning, snap toughends off. Use for soup.There’s a natural“break” between thetough and tender parts.

9 or 10 inch pie panlined with pie dough

8 slices bacon, cutinto small pieces

8 ounce or so aspara-gus, cut on angle in 1inch or so pieces

4 large eggs, roomtemperature

2 cups half and halfor milk

About 1 teaspoon saltand half teaspoon pep-per

1 heaping cup shred-ded cheese or more

Preheat oven to 375.Saute bacon and re-

move. In remainingdrippings, sauté aspara-gus a couple of minutesonly, just until it turnsbright green. Removefrom pan with slottedspoon.

Whisk eggs withmilk. Add seasonings,cheese, bacon and as-paragus. Pour into piepan. Bake 40-45 minutesuntil puffed all around.That means it’s done. Ifyou’re not sure, insert aknife an inch from theedge. If it comes outclean, you’re good to go.

Tips from Rita’skitchen:

If crust browns too

much before quiche isdone, make a “collar” offoil around the crust.

Asparagus: spearsof protection

Asparagus is a pow-erhouse when it comesto folic acid, necessaryfor blood cell formationand a healthy liver.Pregnant women espe-cially need to getenough folic acid forhealthy babies. Aspara-gus is also low in sodi-um, a good source ofpotassium for healthyhearts and muscles, anda good source of fiber.Oh, and one more thing:it’s low in calories andhas zero fat or choles-terol.

REAL ESTATE

ABOUT REALESTATETRANSFERSClermont County real

estate transfer informa-tion is provided as apublic service by theoffice of Clermont CountyAuditor Linda L. Fraley.Some listings may notinclude complete in-formation.

Scan/fax stations arenow available at threeClermont County PublicLibraries: Goshen, UnionTownship and Bethel.

Library patrons havebeen asking for this ser-vice for years, said JimGeorge, information ser-vices manager for the li-braries. Staff membershad to point people to oth-er businesses in the past.

“This is now a servicewe can provide,” Georgesaid. “Patrons can scan/fax any kind of docu-ment.”

The cost is 10 cents perscan in either black andwhite or color.Toprint thescanned document, pric-ing is the same as the pub-lic workstations: 10 centsforblackandwhite copiesand30 cents for color. Thecost to fax one documentis $1and 50 cents for eachadditional page.

Cash is required to usethe stations, George said.

Patrons can scan itemsto their cloud accounts, aUSB flash drive, GoogleDocs, email, smartphoneor tablet, he said. Or, theycan fax documents.

George expects the re-mainingseven libraries tooffer the scan/fax servicesoon. A decision will bemade once library offi-cials determine the equip-ment is durable enoughandseehowmuchpatronsuse the service.

This service will costthe library nothing, hesaid, since the fees arepaid to the company thatowns and maintains theequipment.

The equipment has atouch screen and is user-friendly, George said. Pa-trons will have no limit onthe amount of scans theycan make. Plus, the sta-tions provide lots of roomto spread out the materi-als to be scanned and achair for those who wantto sit.

Garria Blundell,branch manager at UnionTownship, said the install-er had not left the librarywhen a patron stepped upto be the first user April29. The patron needed toscan and fax school rec-ords to a college admis-sions office.

Howdy folks;The election is over,

for some folks to behappy and some folks,wonder what hap-pened, it is a blessingwe have to vote othercountries, would loveto have this privilege.Ruth Ann and I workedthe poles and saw somefolks that we don’t getto see often. It was along day, but a goodday, we enjoy workingthe poles, it is an hon-or.

We were at the com-munity center in Be-thel, there were onlytwo tables to vote , atour table there wasDwight, Jim, Ruth Annand I. The other tablewas Vera, Morgan,Jessica and Roslyn,there was a wonderful

relation-ship be-tween allfolks whoworkedeach ta-ble.

Nowabout mytown. Themuseumat the

Grant Memorial Build-ing, sure has someextra special items ondisplay. There are somany, it would be hardto write about each ofthem. They are havinga membership drive.Now you can join for$10 for three years, or$50 for a lifetime, thenyou can help the mu-seum do some things.There are some of theold Bethel Journal pa-

pers from many yearsago, you can set downand read about thingsthat happened in thepast.

There are old Bethelschool yearbooks; alsopictures of the doctorwho practiced whenyou used a horse andbuggy to get around.This feller was Dr.Thompson. There ismore about this fellerand others. The mu-seum is open the firstSaturday of eachmonth from noon, until4 p.m. They will have adifferent display eachmonth; there will be anotice of the displayfor each month in frontof the Grant MemorialBuilding.

There is so much tosee in the museum, you

can spend the entiretime just looking andreading the differentposters and pictures ofthe past wars. Thereare the different kindsof uniforms the folkswore in the early warsand the dresses of theladies of that time. Youwill be amazed at thethings of history in theBethel area, and howthe area has changedover time, there weresome businesses thatare not there now.

The folks that havebeen working to keepthe museum open forus to come and visitand see the items theyhave are to be thanked,so come and join. RuthAnn and I will join.

The last crappietournament, which the

Boars Head Bait Shopsponsored, was great.The winner had sevenpounds of crappie, thatis great. The bass tour-nament on Tuesdaynight has been good,with 5-1/2 pounds ofbass. It will get betterin time. Last year thewinning weight wasaround 10 pounds. Thisis good to see folksgetting in the fishingmood. I would hopeRuth Ann and I can geton the lake to do somefishing soon.

We are working inthe garden, plantingtomatoes, peppers,broccoli, more cab-bage, lettuce and put-ting out another bed ofstrawberries. We arecleaning out the rasp-berry beds and straw-

berry beds.The plant sale at the

Monroe Grange hallwas a success again,with lots of folks get-ting some good plantsfrom the Grants Farm.The Grants Farm havea good supply of itemsfor the honey bees,along with all theplants and trees etc.

If you have a swarmof honey bees, give usa call, at 513-734-6980.

Start your week bygoing to the House ofworship of your choiceand praise the GoodLord. God bless all.More later.
