UNION TWP. — Total Quality Logistics is right in the middle of the Clough Pike widening work and the resulting traffic backups are exacerbated by Eastgate Boulevard construc- tion. So says Dan Gabbard, direc- tor of real estate and facilities for the company at 4289 Ivy Pointe Blvd. in Union Township. Does Gabbard think the idling cars and torn-up, muddy roadways will be worth it in the end? The Clermont County Trans- portation Improvement Dis- trict expects the $6.5 million Clough Pike project to wrap up by Aug. 1. “We are very optimistic that the improvements will help with traffic flow and the road’s ability to move a higher volume of cars in the future,” Gabbard said. “Honestly, I am not sure it could be any worse.” The Clough Pike widening and improvement project in- cludes the stretch of road be- tween Glen Este-Withamsville Road and Mt. Carmel Tobasco Road, The focus now is between Glen Este-Withamsville Road and Ivy Pointe Boulevard, where traffic on Clough Pike has been reduced to a single, westbound lane. Cider Mill Drive at Clough Pike recently was closed and will remain closed through Fri- day, June 6, with traffic being detoured onto Terrace Drive. Meanwhile and also in Union Township, the Ohio Department of Transportation continues to make improvements at the In- terstate 275 interchange with state Route 32 that are to be completed by year’s end. Workers are building a new “fly-over” ramp that will allow traffic traveling south on I-275 to eastbound state Route 32 to bypass new signals and East- gate Boulevard via ramps that will merge with state Route 32 east of Eastgate Boulevard. Northbound I-275 traffic heading east on state Route 32 also will avoid the signals and travel through a new “tunnel” to merge with state Route 32 be- yond Eastgate Boulevard. “We are making significant investments to improve our in- frastructure in Clermont Coun- ty,” said Clermont County Engi- neer Pat Manger. “In addition to the major im- provements taking place at In- terstate 275 and state Route 32, it is important that the local roadway networks are function- ing as efficiently as possible. “Getting in and out of resi- dential neighborhoods, and making sure drivers have a safe and efficient commute once they exit mainline 32 or the highway interchange system that feeds into Clermont County is an important component of our overall transportation plan- ning and improvement work,” Manger said. Gabbard said the biggest im- pact the Clough Pike widening project has had on Total Quality Logistics is a traffic backup on Ivy Pointe Boulevard due to cars not being able to travel east on Clough. “Also, with Eastgate Boule- vard being under construction, it adds to the backup more than if it was just a Clough Pike pro- ject,” Gabbard said. “This also has impacted the traffic on westbound Clough as well as southbound Mt. Carmel Tobasco.” Gabbard said there is little company employees can do oth- er than follow the detours and be patient in traffic tie-ups. “Even for me personally it adds about 10 to 15 minutes to my home commute,” Gabbard said. “Sometimes employees will adjust their working schedule to avoid the areas under con- struction during rush hours, but most of our employees do not have that ability.” Want to know more about what is happening in Union Township?

Pierce Township residents are hop-ing Clermont County officials heartheir plea to make a road safer forthose using a local park.

Championships, the Cler-mont County park is get-ting a new beach house,better camp sites, newdocks, bleachers for spec-tators and an improved

Before East Fork StateParkhosts next year’sUS-Rowing Club National

access road to HarshaLake.

Besides improving thepark experience for visi-tors, the project is expect-ed to provide an economicboost to the county, sup-porters say.

“The excitement ourpartners in the ClermontCounty community haveshown has led to an out-standing project for allthe visitors to East ForkState Park, especially therowing community,” saidJames Zehringer, direc-tor of the Ohio Depart-ment of Natural Re-sources. “To build a facil-ity that creates a betterexperience for our visi-tors, while also providingan opportunity for ourpartners to secure futureevents thatwill benefit lo-cal businesses, was sim-ply a project we could notpass up.”

The July 2015 USRow-ing Club National Cham-pionships represents oneof the largest summer re-gattas in the U.S. It’s ex-pected todrawabout1,800athletes over five days.

Zehringer announcedEast Fork State Park pro-jects tobe funded throughGov. John Kasich’s recentcapital bill during a May16 appearance at HarshaLake’s Matt Maupin Wel-come Pavilion. As a back-drop to the gathering ofstate and local officials,visitors from about 15states practiced on thelake for the recent Mid-west Youth RowingChampionships.

No dollar figure wasgiven for the upgrades,which also will include in-door and outdoor showersat the soon-to-be-builtbeach house. However,supporters estimated allof the planned the im-provements will costabout $1 million, withmost of that spent on thenew beach house.

Along with the state-funded upgrades, attor-ney Paul Schmid, headcoach for Clermont Crew,whichwill co-host the US-Rowing Club NationalChampionships with US-Rowing, also announcedthe establishment of afoundationtocontinue im-proving the venue.

The Clear MountainWater Sports Develop-ment Association, formedwith the support of theClermont Convention andVisitors Bureau, will pro-vide funding to transformthe lake and adjacentgrounds into “a state ofthe art venue for watersports,” Schmid said.

“We want to maximizetheuseof thevenue for allusers, not just a narrowgroup,” he said. “It’s 2,000meters that can be usedfor canoeing and kayak-ing and paddle boardingand other water sports.

Schmid said Lake Har-sha is especially popular

with rowersbecause of itsdepth and size, its centrallocation in theU.S.andthefact that it’s free of cur-rent.

“Rowing races, even atthe high school level, canbe won or lost by literallyfeet or inches,” Schmidsaid. “If there’s a currentin one lane that’s differentfrom another lane, it canhamper results. High lev-el competitors love tocompete here because ofthe conditions of the wa-ter.”

Thenewdocksplannedaspart of the state-fundedimprovements will bepaddlecraft friendly forkayaks and canoes, Zehr-inger said. The Ohio De-partment of Natural Re-sources also will improvethe access road leading toHarsha Lake and updatetrail signs to enhancesafety. Improvements al-ready have started at thecampgrounds, and bidsare expected to be sought

for the beach house in amonth or so.

The upgrades at EastFork State Park are partof $88.5 million in im-provements included inOhio’smost recent capitalbudget.

Mark Calitri, execu-tive director of the Cler-mont County Conventionand Visitors Bureau, saidthe state’s investmentwillhelp the community“build on themomentum”of next summer’sUSRow-ing Club National Cham-pionships.

“A rowing event of thisscope creates a strongeconomic ripple effectthrough our entire com-munity, and we’re confi-dent that future projectscouldattractmoreregion-al and national events tothe park,” Calitri said.

Police Chief Jeff Bach-man said years ago theyhad asked to reduce thespeed limit onLocust Cor-ner Road because of thepark, township fire de-partment, cemetery andschool but that requestwas also denied.

“They did a test andthey said it did not meettherequirementsbecauseof the amount of traffic,”

he said.Cann said it’s lucky

that nothing has hap-penedyet, and a guardrailor lowering the speed lim-itwouldmake itmuchsaf-er for pedestrians, parkusers and drivers.

Doug Royer, a deputyengineer for theClermontCountyEngineer’s Office,said if a guardrail is re-quested, they’d come outto look at the area and thedrop-off, but there arestateguidelines theymustfollow.

The same is true for

the speed limit.“The Ohio Department

of Transportation has aprocedure we have to gothrough,” he said. “Thecounty is not able to setspeed limits, even oncounty roads.”

Royer added that oncea study is complete, theresults are sent to ODOTfor evaluation and a finaldecision.

see them smile and openup, and it improves theirreading skills,” she said.“We know that the mosteffectivehelp (toreading)is for a child to be able toshare a book with some-one else.”

Having a dog in theclassroom gets the stu-dents excited about read-ing, Wilson said, and theschool has been able todocument the difference

it makes in reading skills.Rosselot added that the

dogs also provide supportfor students who havemore trouble with socialinteraction or emotionalissues. They can also helpkids who have difficultypaying attention in class,Wilson said.

“As soon as they touchthe dog they can concen-trate and focus,” she said.

Carol George bringsherdogTippy to readwiththekids andsaid she lovesbeing part of the programbecause the students getso excited about reading.

ParentHeather Isparo,who has three kids at Lo-cust Corner Elementary,also sees the tremendousbenefit of the program.

“The kids really lightup when they see thedogs,” shesaid. “It’s anon-judgmental way for themto read.”

Most of the 13 readingdogs were rescues, andthey all have therapy reg-istrations, Wilson said.

Bus riders who use theAnderson Township park-and-ride on BeechmontAvenue will have to altertheir commuting plansstarting in June.

Metro plans to elimi-nate this stop when itswitches service forRoute 75X. This expressroute, which connectsAn-dersonTownship to down-

town Cincinnati, will in-stead pick up riders at theAnderson Center Station,7832 Five Mile Road.

“Last year Route 24wasmodifiedandwehavebeen working with (Met-ro) for almost two yearson Route 75,” said SteveSievers, an assistanttownship administratorSteve Sievers said. “As ofJune 2, that park-and-ridewill go away, which willprovide greater flexibili-ty for that site.”

Thepark-and-ride is onthe township’s operationscampus, 7954 BeechmontAve., which also housesseveral departments, theSenior Center and com-munity recycling. Ander-son Township is planningimprovements to thatsite,which will be completedthis year.

Anderson TownshipresidentJennieKopf,whouses the express route ev-ery day, isn’t thrilled withthe changes. She lives offEight Mile Road and usesthe bus to get to workdowntown.

“They’regoingtomakeme drive further to catchthe bus,” she said. “I’vetaken the 30X before, butthere are too many stopsand ... I get downtown ahalf-hour later.”

Kopf said it’s more in-convenient for her andother riders who live in

the eastern part of Ander-sonTownshiporClermontCounty to drive all theway through the townshipto another park-and-ride.

She also has concernsabout whether the Ander-son Center Station hasenough parking for theadditional riders, buttownship officials havesaid there is enough to ac-commodate the extra ve-hicles.

The Regional Storm WaterCollaborative, popularlyknown as savelocalwaters.org,selected students of Immacu-lateHeartofMary topaint rainbarrelsfor itssecondRainBar-rel Art Project.

Thecompletedbarrelsweredisplayed at Cincinnati Zoo’sGo Green Garden in April.

The project is conducted bythe Cincinnati Zoo & BotanicalGarden and is a joint effort toeducate the community aboutwater conservation and pollu-tion caused by storm waterrunoff.

Artists from all over theOhio River Valley whose art-workswere selected arework-ingon therainbarrels.Thestu-dents of Immaculate Heart ofMary are painting three of 50rain barrels for the project.

Lauren Fleming and AbbyKelly from eighth-grade andGrace Arnold from sixth-grade, will be working on therain barrels under the leader-ship of Alicia Dodson, VisualArts Educator.

Students are using designsinspired by the animals in theCincinnati Zoo on their rainbarrels.

Sophia Cifuentes, sustaina-bility coordinator at the Cin-cinnati Zoo, talking about theirinvolvement said, “As thegreenest zoo in America, weare always looking for ways toinspire our community to takeaction thatcan impact theenvi-ronment in positive ways.”

The painted rain barrelswill be auctioned during theParty for thePlanet eventhost-ed by the Zoo. The funds from

the auction will be used forconservation education in theOhio River Valley.

TheRainBarrelArt Project

was created to promote theuseof rain barrels throughout theOhioRiverValley. Though rainbarrels conserve water and

save money, people are lesslikely to use them given theirdull appearance.

SaveLocalWaters.org be-

lieves that producing beautifulartistic rain barrels will makethem more desirable and in-crease public interest.

WILLIAMSBURG — Grandmanamed him.

Mary Sprague selected abiblical prophet for her grand-son, WilliamsburgHigh Schoolsenior IsaiahBradford.Thean-cient Isaiah’s writings areknown as the wisdom litera-ture in scripture that foretoldthe coming of Jesus.

The modern version said hedidn’t have a favorite versefrom his namesake’s work, buta line from Isaiah 51:1maywellfit one of only two seniors -Lane Edmisten is the other - ontheWilliamsburg varsity base-ball roster this spring.

“Look to the rock fromwhich you were cut and to thequarry from which you werehewn,” it says.

Bradford said he’s beenlooking closely at his commu-nity and teams - he played foot-ball for theWildcats in the fall -and appreciating his roots ashe prepares for college. Heplans to attend the UC Cler-mont College and study sur-gery tech.

“I’d have to say (my favoritememory) is probably thiswhole year,” Bradford said.“It’s been pretty good makingit this far in baseball.”

“This far in baseball” trans-lates toWilliamsburg’s first ap-pearance in the Division IIIsectional finals since 2006. TheWildcats fell 13-3 toMadeira ina game that began May 21, waspostponed by bad weather andcompleted May 22.

After the ‘Cats lost four oftheir five first games to openthe season, Williamsburgrighted the ship andput togeth-er a 6-4 record in the SouthernBuckeye Conference National,good for thirdplace, and a14-10season overall.

“He’s had a good season,”saidWildcats head coach Shan-non Smith of Bradford, histhird baseman and cleanup hit-ter. “He’s anchored it down anddone everything we asked himover there. He’s a vacuum. Heeats everything up.”

“(Edmisten and Bradford)just kept us steady through theseason. We were really youngto start the season. You have tobe a babysitter or a big brotherkind of figure for these young-er kids and they’ve been agreat example. The last part ofthe season, especially. We’vewon10 of our last13 games (go-ing into the sectional finals).”

In addition to a solid tourna-ment run in baseball, Bradfordwas part of the Williamsburgfootball squad that not onlyreached the playoffs, but host-ed an opening-round game forthe first time in more than 30years

“I feel really happy withwhat we’ve done this year,”Bradford said. “It’s been a lotof fun being on some reallygood teams. I like to win.”

Bradford started playingbaseball in kindergarten andhas enjoyed handing down hisveteran leadership to theyounger players.

“It’s pretty important, butthey take lot of leadershipthemselves, too,” Bradfordsaid. “They listen and they goahead and do it.”

Smith said that bodes wellfor the future.

“They’re young, but they’repretty experienced in terms ofplaying baseball,” he said.“There’s a lot of select playerson the team who play all year.We’ll have almost everybodyback and they’ll be that muchmore experienced. If we canget off to a good start and buildsome confidence, we couldhave a pretty good season.”

UNION TWP. — In her 11thyear with the program, butfirst as varsity headcoach,Do-rothyScharfenbergergotGlenEste High School’s girls soft-ball team three games into thetournament.

Unfortunately, after tour-nament wins over Princeton(10-0) andTurpin (2-1) the LadyTrojans’ bats were held silentby Ursuline 3-0 on May 19.

Glen Este finishes the sea-son at 19-7 with three of thelosses coming in the BallardSuper Prep tournament inLouisville April 18-19 againstteams from Indiana and Ten-nessee.

The girls finished strongeven though they lost startingcatcher Jessica Dmochowskito injury in the 11th game. Shewas also one the team’s betterhitters at .481, batting behindseniorBaileyMiller and juniorcleanup slugger Brooke Park-er.

“She’ll get to come backnext year,” Scharfenbergersaid. “Iknowit’sbeentoughforher watching our success andhaving to sit on the bench. Wereally could have used her batand obviously her catchingskills.”

Replacing Dmochowski be-hind the dish was first base-man/pitcher Miller. Her firststart came in a1-0 victory overTurpin on April 23.

“She did a great job step-ping in there and learning howto catch with no experience,”Scharfenberger said. “She’sathletic.Ourhugeconcernwasbeing able to throwgirls out onthebases. Shehad thebest ‘poptime’”

At the plate, Miller led theteam and the Eastern Cincin-nati Conference in home runs(5) and runs batted in (47)while hitting .444. In the pitch-ing circle, she was 7-2 with a1.94 earned run average.WhenDmochowski was healthy, Mil-lerwas the right-handed offer-ing to the lefty Parker.

“Wehadafreshmancatcherwho is still learning the posi-tion,” Scharfenberger said. “Innon-league games we let Bai-ley still pitch to give Brooke aday off.”

At Ohio Dominican, Millerwill primarily play first base.

Glen Este’s other departingsenior is center fielder Kate-lynMaynard, a .456 hitter. Thecurrent plan is to move junior

SaraChesley to center fornextseason.

While the disappointment isstill fresh, Parker will high-light the2015 teamas theBowl-ingGreencommitwillhavean-other opportunity to deal hersouthpaw stuff.

“I think with her pitchingmore, she’s gotten a littlesharperfaster,”Scharfenberg-er said of this current year.“She should be good for sum-mer ball.”

Miller, Parker and Dmo-chowski are Glen Este’s travelball players, with the rest stay-ing in town on local teams.

Other key returners forScharfenberger next springwill be third baseman MeganDowney, shortstop Bailee

MT. WASHINGTON —They’re back.

For the second time inas many years, McNicho-las High School qualifiedfor the Division II statevolleyball coaches associ-ation tournament. TheRockets finished fourthlastseasonandhopeto im-prove on that position.

“It’s really awesomegoing twoyears in row,es-pecially after losing somany seniors from lastyear,” saidMcNick seniorco-captain Elliot Painter,who plays outside hitterand setter. “We’ve come along way.”

The Rockets werescheduled to faceGreaterCatholic League Coed foe

Kettering Alter in thesemifinals after earlyholiday deadlines May 24at Hamilton High School.The Rockets lost in threesets at Alter in April andfell again to theKnights instraight sets at homeMay6.

“(Winning)will dependon if they getting ourheads or not,” McNickhead coach Julie Mulveysaid before the game.“Last time we playedthem, they did, and it gotto the point where nobodywas doing their jobs andthey beat us pretty bad.Theyhaveanamazing leftside and theyhave a servewho has given us sometrouble, but that’s whatwe’vebeenpracticing. It’sa lot of mental tomorrow,just staying focused.”

Senior co-captainGrant Tore - a defensivespecialist - agreed.

“This time I thinkwe’rea lotbettermentallyprepared,” he said.“There’s nothing we haveto hold back on this time.”

Painter - aMilfordresi-dent - began playing vol-leyball in grade school atSt. Veronica.

“It’s fun seeing every-body on their high schoolteams now,” he said. “Ihave friends at Moellerand at St. X (the Bomberscompete in the Division Istate tournament) and it’sgood tosee themplaying.”

Tore - who lives inUnion Township - didn’ttake up the sport until hissophomore year. He rancross country forMcNickeach of the last two sea-

sons, but enjoys the cam-araderie of volleyballmore than the solitude ofrunning.

“I like how it really is ateam game and every-body has towork togetherfor it to work,” he said.

McNick was 12-11 in

the regular season, in-cluding a 5-5 record in theGCL Coed.

McNick beat RogerBacon 25-23, 25-23, 23-25,14-25,15-13May17 toqual-ify for state, avenging afive-set loss to the Spar-tans a little more than

week earlier.“Beating Bacon two

years in a row to get tostate is really huge,”Painter said. “They beatus on their floor on theirseniornight, so itwasniceto get them back. But do-ing it two years in a rowwas great.”

Clermont County has fourserious environmental problemsthat should be addressed by ourcommunity.

Many Clermont neighbor-hoods lack a plan for properlydisposing of prescription drugs.These drugs require a 21st cen-tury filtration system to preventthe contamination of our ecosys-tem.

Themedical profession hasprovided all it can to reducewaste at a cost that is balanced;however, that balance has beenmade on the backs of our localgovernments andwildlife, andnow requires greater assistance.

Additionally, the Ohio-ledfight against fracking has

emerged inClermont Coun-ty. In 2011, JohnKasich’s OhioDepartment ofNatural Re-sources per-versely issued156 permits todrilling compa-nies to capital-ize on naturalgas and oil in

the Utica Shale – the very shalethat sits beneath our feet.

Hydraulic fracturemininghas cost Appalachiamore than itbargained for: the lead fractur-ing companies in ClermontCounty have pumped our envi-

ronment with 2,500 chemicalscontaining 750 compounds toextract fossil profit, many timeson public lands. Even now, U.S.Sen. Rob Portman outrageouslydemandsmore drilling on publiclands.

Neighbors should also holdofficials accountable for the500,000 tons of toxic sludge,largely imported fromLoveCanal, disposed at CECOS be-tween1979 and1990. Sevenfootball stadium-sized cells up to56-feet deep are adjacent tonearbyHarsha Lake. ClermontCounty officials have used thetrappings of local offices as agateway for doing business andenriching their private lives.

We are sitting on top of adisaster at the CECOS facilitythat has already contaminatedour water supply via PleasantRun Creek and the East Forkcorridor of the LittleMiamiRiver.What we have lacked inrestraint, we aremaking up forwith lost time.

Lastly, Clermont County ishome to the largest coal-pow-ered energy facility in GreaterCincinnati, Zimmer Power Sta-tion. Standard coal and its clos-est alternative – somethingidiotically called clean-coal – areenvironmentally pollutive andcontribute to the large amountsof acid precipitation in otherstates, includingNewYork.

Clean coal is amyth that hasbeen used for profit as we con-tinue down the road of irrespon-sibility.

Former administrator GloriaCondelles said the county’stownships have never beenwithout their problems. 2014 is aspecifically challenging time. Astrong neighborhood approachis giving the county’s importantdecision-making back to localcommunities. 2014 is ourmo-ment to take the steps we needto tackle these and other prob-lems our community faces to-gether.

Four very serious environmental problems

ChristopherMyersCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

For proper assessment of myinput, I would first like to introducemyself.

I’m a retired Social Service ad-ministrator and long-term healthadvocate, among other things. I wasorganizer and vice president of theInternational Coalition for PatientRights for a time, as well as Securi-ty Officer with high HomelandSecurity clearance, which I stillhold.

By God’s Grace, He kept mefrom falling into the trap of ciga-rettes, alcohol, drugs and manyother detrimental enslavement oflife. At age 18 I chose to be a consci-entious objector.

Yet, today, I’m writing about asocial climate in our land which ismuch deadlier than guns. Anyonewho doubts that need only checkthe life and statistics in Kennesaw,Georgia.

Any adult resident who lives inthat city is required, by law, to owna gun.

There, the statistics of the cityvalidate that when people are in-structed in gun safety and properuse of such weapons, every otherlife-endangering statistic is down:murder, rape, robberies, etc.

Pre-judging people in our mindthrough the skewed “colored glass-

es” we ourselveswear – as well aswhat our culturereinforcesthrough media-brainwashing,public opinions,technologies,even privategossip, glancesand actions, is fardeadlier thanguns!

Just ask the homeless!In Ireland, Germany, France and

other countries, beer and wine withmeals is part of their culture. Be-fore water purification systemsexisted, travelers carried and drankflasks of wine. Even Jesus!

Throughout history alcohol wasoften used for medicinal purposes.Today it’s less expensive than manyRX drugs.

In fact, in God’s Word, King Lem-uel was instructed by his mother:“Give strong drink unto him that isready to perish, and wine unto thosethat be of heavy hearts” (Proverbs31:6). Appropriate amounts is thekey!

Many who used to live in plushhomes and snubbed people on “foodstamps” have now been able tobetter understand how lack of jobs,

health reversals, etc. impact lives.With fluctuating statistics we

have approximately 131,000 home-less veterans in Ohio. Many older,ill and homeless vets have dieddevalued in “the gutters” of ourland. These are now being replacedby much younger ones with fam-ilies – a 24 percent increase – whonow live in tents, under bridges,etc. The total number of ill, dis-abled, displaced homeless is cur-rently closer to 3.5 million.

Homeless people don’t look thegreatest. Don’t meet our “standard”for being worthy of esteem. And wetreat them so. We don’t bother to“walk in their shoes” or even speakwith them to learn of their circum-stances.

That legitimately ill individualswith cancer, sever chronic pains,genetically racing minds, glauco-ma, seizures, etc., are denied theuse of marijuana is of such crimi-nality that God Himself is not goingto hold our nation guiltless for our“special interest” laws.

The greed of our man-mademedical systems will indeed bejudged by Him!

Hopefully, some will give thisthoughtful attention.

“The annual July 4th Independ-ence Day Fireworks off Springdalehave been great. I hope they can besustained financially as the event isgood for the entire family as is theTaste of Colerain.

May14 questionWhat advice would you give to

graduating high school and collegeseniors?

“My advice for a graduate is ran-dom and varied, but priceless none-theless:

“1. Never lie to you,“2. If it seems too hard, you are

doing something wrong,“3. Sometime in your life live on

the East Coast, but leave before youbecometoohardened;andsometimein your life live on the West Coast,

but leave before you become toosoft.

“4. If you can’t fix it with a ham-mer, clearly it is an electrical prob-lem.

“5. Always use your turn signalsso the world will know which wayyou are headed.”

“6. It doesn’tmatter if the glass ishalf full or half empty, obviously theglass is twice as big as it needs tobe.”

M.J.F.

“1. Be proactive.“2. Be grateful and always try to

show appreciation to someone whohas been kind or helpful to you.

“3. Network, network, network.Useyoursocialmediaskillswhileal-ways being mindful that it’s likelythatwhatever you post is being seenby many different sets of eyes.

“4. When you learn something,have a spirit of generosity and getothers involved and aware of what’sgoingoncurrentlyvs. hiding it awayin a self protective mode.

“5. Be an empathic listener. Toomanypeople listenwith the intent torespondvsreallyhearingwhat isbe-ing said. In fact go one step furtherand listen with the eyes for feeling.

“6. Differentiate yourself. Youare a brand, with equity. Develop itand strategically market it.”

Clermont CountyBarn RaisingFestival June 14

Are your allergieskicking in? Mine sureare, and as much work aswe have outdoors in thevegetable and herb gar-dens it’s not, as Marthawould say, “a goodthing.”

My friend and Cincin-nati Magazine marketingdirector Chris Ohmersaid it best. “I’m livingfrom tissue to tissue.”Well, I’ve got a naturalhome remedy that mighthelp Chris and otherswho are affected by sea-sonal allergies.

I can tell you this: My“potion” sure helps meget through these pollen-laden spring days.

Easy and effectivehoney ciderallergy drink

First thing to know:Never give honey tochildren under the age of1 year. And if you’re go-ing to make this drink,make it with raw localorganic honey and orga-nic raw apple cider.

The reason? For thelocal honey, bees collectpollen from your areaand this helps builds upin your system.

If all goes right, youcould become immune tothe pollen in your area.

As far as the organicapple cider goes, it’s notrefined and distilled andit is thought to blockhistamine reactions. Italso contains healthyenzymes, vitamins andminerals. It can helplower your cholesteroland blood pressure aswell.

For every cup ofwarm or chilled water,stir in:

1 generous tablespooneach local raw honey andorganic apple cider vine-gar.

Add a squeeze of lem-on for extra vitamin C ifyou want. Drink a coupletimes a day, or more ifyou’re outdoors a lot.

Recipe Hall of Fame:Tony Palazzolo’s versionof Frisch’s vegetablesoup. I can’t rememberwhich class I was teach-ing, but a student came

up andasked meif I wouldpublishthis favor-ite recipeagain.Some ofyou willrecall thatTony’srecipe, as

well as my version, are inmy Recipe Hall of Fame.

“A result of over adozen attempts, and Ithink it is very close toFrisch’s,” Tony told meway back when.

Tony also noted thesoup is best if allowed torest for 2-3 hours aftercooking or next day. I’vemade it with mostlybroth and just a bit ofwater and it is reallygood that way, too.

4 tablespoons vegeta-ble oil

1 cup onion, diced1/2 cup each diced:

carrots, celery1/2 cup each frozen

vegetables: peas, corn,cut green beans, babylima beans (can usecanned baby limas)

1 can, 14.5 ounce, dicedtomatoes with juice

2 quarts beef broth1 quart water1/2 teaspoon each

thyme, garlic powder3/4 teaspoon black

pepper1 cup potato, diced1/4 cup pearl barley1/4 cup long grain riceSalt to tasteIn a large soup pot,

sauté onion, carrot, andcelery until onion is softbut not browned, about 10minutes. Add rest ofingredients except pota-to, rice and barley. Bringto boil and lower to sim-mer partially covered for30-45 minutes.

Add potato, rice andbarley, bring back to boil,lower to simmer partiallycovered for another 30minutes or until potato,rice and barley are done.Add salt and pepper.

Readers want toknow: Are lilacs edible?

Yes, as long as they’re“clean” not sprayed, etc.They taste as good asthey smell. Right now

I’m gathering some tocrystallize with eggwhite and sugar. I’ll letyou know how they turnout.

got some clothes hangersfrom the basement andone had some rust on it. Isaid, I will take it to thecarpenter shop to use.Ruth Ann said no, I willdo what my Aunt Ethelalways did. She wouldwrap the hanger withyarn. I looked at somemore hangers they werewrapped with yarn. Theclothes will not slip offthe hanger that way. Ofcourse Chester gave hera hard time with theyarn. There are ways to

use itemsthat folksthrowaway. Ifyou stopand thinkhow ourfolks in theearly timedid thingsto usethem long-

er.The greenhouses full

of garden plants andflowers are sure beauti-ful. There is Grant’sthree places, BucktownRoad, Ohio 131, andMil-

ford Garden Center.The Bethel Feed store

has some beautiful gar-den plants and somereally big tomato plantsthat are almost two feettall. If you want someearly tomatoes get one ofthem. There is a green-house on Tollgate Road,the Ellis Farm and Gar-den Center. a friend toldus about another onecalled Cain Run also onTollgate Road.

This is the time to beplanting the garden. Thispast Sunday andMondaywe didn’t have any frost

to hurt our garden. Wehave plenty of gardenplanted.

These garden storessure have plenty of gar-den seeds as do the Bish-op’s Hardware and Vil-lage Hardware in Bethel.Especially lima beanscalled the King of theGarden, this is what welike to plant.

I made some tripods,five feet tall with a disklike on top to put the canepoles. With a hole drilled,then drill a hole for a nailto hold them in place.There is three bamboo

canes in each. I will trythese for this year for thelima beans instead ofrunning a line for them togrow. I will write laterhow this works.

We have gotten twoswarms of honey bees sofar this year and hope toget somemore. The hon-ey bees need all the helpthey can get. Give us acall at 513-734-6980 if youhave any swarms.

This cat Chester issure a live wire. Theother night after we wentto bed, he would run andjump on the bed, then runin the rest of the room.This went on for sometime. Then I think he laiddown and went to sleep.Then in the morning hewas on the bed pattingRuth Ann on the jaw withhis paw to wake her up.

After we get up hewants his breakfast.Then he starts meowingto go outside. When we goback to work in the gar-den, we let him out. Heruns then looks to seewhere we are. We talkedto a lady that has a catthat will set on her andstarts to meow real softthen keeps on and getslouder so the cat can gether attention until shegets up and feeds it.

The fishing is good atEast Fork, with lots ofsmall crappie beingcaught. These little oneswill grow up to be bigones. Some folks arecatching crappie up to 15inches long. I was talkingto Mike at the Boar’sHead Bait Shop at Afton.

he said they are startingto catch some stripersthis is the time for themto start feeding on thesurface. Mike said a fell-er called him and saidthey are going to have aMuskey tournament thisfall. They are catching afewMuskey now, thiswill be interesting.

We have not beenfishing yet. There is afriend of ours that wantsto go fishing with us andhope this week we can go.

There was a fellerhere this morning thatshowed us a tomato thathe picked green alongwith other tomatoes lastfall. The other tomatoesgot ripe but this onedidn’t. He laid it in thehouse all winter now it isripe a little shriveled, butOK. I had never seen thisbefore, he is going tosave the seeds.

We talked to a ladythat had seen a gardenwhere the gardener hadput a fence like a tunnelin between the rows ofbeans. Then he put achicken in the tunnelwith water to drink andthere were no bugs orweeds in between therows.

Start your week bygoing to the house ofworship of your choiceand praise the GoodLord. God bless all. Morelater.

My home and my lifestylewere no longer working for me.I loved our beautiful family home, but there wasa lot of stress and expense that went along with it...living there alone was no longer worth the trouble.There is a lifestyle here for every personality.I love that.Making this move wasn’t an easy choice, but it wasthe right choice for me because after all is said anddone, my home is where I choose to make it. I onlyregret that I didn’t joinmy friends here sooner.
