West Clermont updates athletics policyWest Clermont school board

membersMay13 approved revi-sions to the athletics policy to in-clude information about concus-sions and head injuries.

The policy states studentsmay not practice or compete inschool athletics until they sub-mit release forms signed by

their parents orguardians.

Students al-ready were re-quired to submitthe paperwork,but the releasewasupdatedto in-clude the word“guardian.” The

form also includes acknowledg-ment that students and guard-

ians received concussion andhead injury information sheets.

“Mostof this - ifnotallof this -we’ve been doing all along,” saidSuperintendent Keith Kline.“This just codifies it in policyand aligns it with current statelaw.”

Thepolicyalso statesanystu-dent who exhibits signs of con-cussionorhead injurywill be re-moved from practice or compe-

tition. The student may not re-turn to any practice orcompetition until he or she hasbeen assessed by a physicianand received written clearance.

“I think it’s a great revision ofthat policy,” said board memberDenise Smith.

Students often feel pressureto return to sports after an inju-ry, she said. Updating the policyclarifies the requirements and

helpsprevent themfromresum-ing sports too soon.

Board members May 28 areexpected to vote on a resolutionallowing district athletic train-ers to assess students and, perconsultationwitha licensedphy-sician, give written clearance toreturn to sports, Kline said. Thetrainers are certified healthcareproviders and are always on-site.

BATAVIA — Reds officialshope to use a Clermont Countybaseball camp to teach disad-vantaged youth how to improvetheir character, as well as their

baseball game.The Reds Roo-

kie SuccessLeague is a free,four-week campthat meets twicea week, and whatseparates it fromother baseballcamps is it teach-es youth about

more than just baseball, saidCortnei Weaver, outreach coor-dinator for theRedsCommunityFund.

“They get to learn all the fun-damentals,” Weaver said. “Butinstead of doing it like a coachwould set up drills, we teachthem character-building traitsand how those apply to thegame.”

This will be the event’s sec-ond year in Batavia, said RexParsons, township administra-tor.

Boys and girls ages seven to10 from Clermont County willhave a chance to participate inthe camp again from June 10 toJuly 2 at the Batavia TownshipCommunity Center.

“Last year was the inauguralyear. It was a great start,” Par-sons said. “Some of the kidswere crying at the end of thecampbecausetheydidn’twant itto end.”

The camp meets MondaysandTuesdaysfrom10a.m.until1p.m. Attendees will receive a T-shirt and have lunch providedfor them, Parsons said.

Although Reds officials hopeto teach children about morethan just sports, the experience

toworkwithmajor league base-ball players is a special one,Weaver said.

“We try to have them walkaway with the love of baseball,”she said.

That’s especially importantbecause the camp isn’t intendedfor baseball experts, Parsons

said.“Some kids really don’t even

knowwhatarmthey throwfromorwhat side of the plate to standon,” he said.

With its community fund, theReds are trying to impact youth

CLERMONT COUNTY —The county commission-ers May 15 approved afive-year capital im-provement plan for thewaterworks and waste-water systems.

Estimated expendi-tures from 2013 through2017 are $22.5 million forwater and $37 million forwastewater, according tocapital improvementplansummaries.

“It’s good planning onthe part of the water andwastewater groups tocome up with a five-yearplan,” said CommissionerEd Humphrey. “It (givesus) a five-year horizon toplan capital improve-ments.”

Thereare 82 pro-jectsplannedfor 2013through2017, with41 for wa-ter and 41for waste-

water, Bloom said.Rehabilitation and re-

painting is expected tobegin inJuneon threewa-ter tanks, he said. The in-terior and exterior of thetank on 132 in PierceTownship and the tank onGaynor Road in GoshenTownship will be re-coat-ed. The exterior of theBooster 4 tank at the in-tersection of Ohio 131andOhio 132 in StonelickTownship also will be re-painted.

The tanks will be re-painted the same color,Bloom said. The names ofthe respective townshipsalso will be added to ac-company the countyname.

The cost is $1,547,000,Bloom said. Of the total,$613,530 will be coveredby loans from the OhioPublic Works Commis-sion. An OPWC grant will

cover$589,470.The re-maining$344,000willbepaidout of theWater Re-sourcesDepart-

ment capital improve-ment fund.

Construction is ex-pected to begin on a sew-er replacement fromEvaLane to Kitty Lane,Bloom said. The pipe sizewill be increased fromeight inches to12, provid-ing additional capacity.

“Rainfall that gets intothe sewer has causedsome sewer backups inthe area,” Bloom said.

The estimated cost is$178,676. AnOPWCgrantwill cover $76,925. Therestwill bepaidout of thecapital improvementfund.

Water resources offi-cials are working to ob-tain easements on WardsCorner Road for a watermain replacement, withconstruction expected tobegin this fall, Bloomsaid.

About3,200 feetof linefrom Willowbend Driveto Branch Hill-Guinea

Pike will be replaced, hesaid. Eight-inchpipeswillreplace the existing six-inch cast iron pipe in-stalled in 1959.

In addition to eliminat-ing older pipes wherebreaks have happened,the project will increasewater pressure fromabout 45 pounds persquare inch to 71, Bloomsaid.

The cost is about$291,400, he said.

Officials also plan tobegin rehabilitating sew-er pipes throughout thecounty this year, Bloomsaid.

Many asbestos cementpipes are deterioratingand tree roots are damag-ing clay pipes, he said.Damaged pipes are beingidentified using closedcircuit television and aliner will be pulled intothe pipes to repair them.The liner is a jointless,seamless, cured in-placepipe that will protect thepipes from root damageand erosion.

“We’ll start that - therehab project - this year,but it’s a project thatwe’re going to continueyear after year,” Bloomsaid.

Pipeshavebeen identi-

fied for rehabilitation onForsythia, Hawthorne,Fairway and Elmontdrives in Union Town-ship, on Galaxy Lane inUnion Township, Ohio 131inMiami Township and inthe Locust Lake subdivi-sion in Pierce Township,he said.

Water mains in fourareas will be relocated toaccommodate Ohio De-partment of Transporta-tion (ODOT) and Trans-portation ImprovementDistrict (TID) construc-tion, Bloom said.

Watermainswill be re-located on Ohio 32 nearInterstate 275, Ohio 28near Charles SniderRoad, Branch Hill-Guin-ea Pike near Ohio 28 andon Clough Pike.

Other major projectsin the five-year plan in-clude trunk sewer im-provements and a possi-ble system-wide watermeter upgrade to smartmeters, Bloom said.

“I think the projectsthat are on the list are ap-propriate and are exactlythe things that we need tobe doing,” said Hum-phrey.

who aren’t familiarwith baseball - eitherbecause they’re eco-nomically disadvan-taged or they’ve justnever been exposed toit, Weaver said.

“Not only dowe sup-port Cincinnati inner-city youth playingbaseball, but we try tosupport youth in all ofReds country,” shesaid. “We feel that ev-eryone should have achance to play.”

Volunteers over theage of 16 are still need-ed for this year’s camp,Parsons said.

“Having three boysthat play youth base-ball in different forms,I know that it can be agreat life-skill opportu-nity to learn on thefield,” she said. “Everykid needs that, and notall kids have the oppor-tunitytoplayorganizedsports and to be able togain those life skills. Ifeel like Reds Rookie(Success League) real-ly gives theman oppor-tunity to do that.”

MILFORD — FrontierDays are almost herebringing with it oldfriends.

Theannual festival thisyear is Thursday, May 30,through Sunday, June 2.Eventswill kick off at 6:30p.m. May 30 with the pa-rade starting in front ofthe Olde Milford BarberShoppe, 746 Lila Ave. Theparade will conclude atthe festival grounds.

Frontier Days beganwhen a group of business-men were trying to bringpeople to Milford, said

Frontier Days committeemember KarenWikoff. Inits 51st year, it continuesto do what it was createdto do.

“Everybody goes to it,”said Doug Aufdenkampe,owner of Olde MilfordBarber Shoppe.

Aufdenkampe, whowas born and raised inMilford, said the area is“crazy” on parade day.

“There’s people every-where,” he said.

Aufdenkampe said hehas only missed the festi-val once or twice.

“It’s just part of thetown,” he said. “It’s like abig high school reunion.

Frontier Days is thebiggest event in Milford,said Keith Burkhardt,owner of Skyline Chili onLila Avenue.

Although he lives,works and shops in Mil-ford, he gets to see peopleduring Frontier Days hedoes not ordinarily see.

“Little things change

from year to year ... butthe good news is that thepeople will still be there,”he said.

In addition to re-con-nectingwithpeople,Burk-hardt gets to see the pa-rade from Skyline, whichhe has deemed the bestplace to watch from. Be-cause the parade judgessit outside the restaurant,“you knoweveryone is go-ing to be high-stepping,”he said.

Milford resident PamLee said the parade iswhat keeps her comingback to Frontier Days ev-ery year.

“We know most of the

people who are in it,” shesaid.

Although the paradedoes not begin until eve-ning, people usually startputting chairs out early inthe morning, she said.

Lee has friends wholive on the parade routeand she usually goes totheir house to watch theparade with them. Even ifher friends did not livethere, she would stillwatch the parade, shesaid.

“It’s just a tradition inthis area,” she said. “It’sjustanicecommunityget-together.”

Much of the career center’ssuccess can be attributed to hislongevity and continuous lead-ership, said Pam McKinney,public relations director atGrant. Morrison has worked tokeep Grant Career Center onthe forefront of technology andpushed for other innovativepractices to serve the ever-changing needs of the districtand the regional workforce.

He works diligent-ly to improve the region’s eco-nomic sustainability so thatGrant Career Center graduatescan lead successful lives intheir own communities. He iscommitted to excellence andmodels that behavior for staffand students as he lives by themotto, ‘It is never the wrongtime to do the right thing.’”

UNION TWP. — WillowvilleElementary School studentsMay 13 got a glimpse of thepast when faculty membersopened a 20-year-old time cap-sule.

Principal Michelle Kenne-dy and secretary Kim Prewittbegan researching time cap-sulesafternumerous inquiriesabout opening the one in theschoolgymnasium.Thegener-al rule is toopena timecapsule20 to 25 years after it is sealed,Kennedy said.

Items inside the capsule in-cluded photos, a lunch menu,field day ribbons, student-made scrapbooks, a pamphletfor an operating levy and aVHS tape, among other things.

“It was exciting just open-ing (it) and reading and hear-ingabout thedifferent things,”said Kennedy said.

Former Principal John

Martin said he knew therewere photographs and itemsfrom each class, but could notremember specific items untilthey were removed from thecapsule.

“It’s hard to believe that 20yearshasgonebythat fast,”hesaid.

Kennedywas impressed bythe insight of someformerstu-dents. One student in1993 pre-dicted that books would be oncomputers by 2018, she said.

Although some predictionswere correct, many formerstudentswhoattended the cer-emony said their childhood ex-pectations did not match upwith reality.

“I definitely did not pegwhat I was going to be when Igot older,” said Jessica Ed-wards O’Neal, who was infifth-grade in 1993.

Her predictions that shewould be a teacher, have chil-dren and own a blue car werenot accurate, she said.

Richard Webb, who alsowas in fifth-grade in 1993, saidit was funny hearing whatsome of his classmates pro-jected for their lives.

Students and teachers pre-pared and set aside numerousitems from the 2012-2013school year to put in the cap-sule, which will be openedagain in 20 to 25 years.

The items from 1993 alsowere placed back in the cap-sule, Kennedy said.

Former students were ableto take their own items, shesaid. Copies can be made ofitemsthatarenotallowedtobetaken.

The old and newwas on dis-playuntilFriday,May17,wheneverything will be placed inthe capsule and resealed.

MT. WASHINGTON — Notmany athletes admit they areterrible at a sport.

McNicholas High School ju-niorMegan Schaefer does. Hap-pily.

“I’m awful,” the New Rich-mond resident said with achuckle. “I don’t think I go fastenough that I could ever reallyhurt myself.”

The good news for Rocketfans is Schaefer is talking aboutskiing. She’s plenty fast on thetrack where - among otherevents - she anchors the 4x200relay team making a bid for thestate meet.

“Distance has been good forusfora longtime,”McNickheadcoach Dan Rosenbaum said.“When Kat Humphries camehere in 2006 and went to statefour straight years, that kind ofraised the profile for the sprint-ers and it’s carried over untilnow. That kind of elevated thesprinters’ mindset to thinkingthey could be a good part of theteam, too, and they have been.”

Schaefer also runs crosscountry for the Rockets and is amember of the school’s ski club.Her self-proclaimed struggleson the slopesmay be one reasoncoaches don’t mind her going toPerfect North across the Indi-ana border once a week in thewinter with the club.

“She’s anchoredour4x200re-lay all year and they’ve got thethird-best time in the city,” Ro-senbaum said. “She’s in the longjump district finals. And actual-ly the last twoweeksI’ve thrownher into the 400 and she’s beengreat there.

“Kids who say they like the400 are tough kids and you can’thave enough of them in track, orany sport, really.”

Schaefer wasn’t sure abouther reputation for toughness.

“I’m tough enough to lastthroughourworkouts,” she said.“I don’t really know how you de-fine being tough.”

While Schaefer doesn’t con-sider herself especially tough,she definitely considers the 400a difficult race.

“It’s the longestminute ofmylife,” she said. “The first thing Ithink about is getting the baton.Then I think think about my po-sition. I just want to make sureI’m passing people, not the onebeing passed. I’m hoping I canfinishstrongenoughtopasspeo-ple at the end.

“I haven’t run the 400 enoughtohate it.What I likeabout it is ifyou make a mistake you canmake up for it. In the sprints, alittle mistake will cost you therace. In the 400 you have a littlemore time.”

“Iwouldn’t say I reallyhaveafavorite event, but the relaysyou work as a team,” she said.“It’s nice that we all put up thetime, that we all work together.Track is so individual, but this isa team effort and I like that.

The Rockets completed theDivision II districtmeetMay25,after Journal holiday deadlines.

BATAVIA — It had to be anodd feeling for the BataviaBulldogs and coach Geoff Car-ter when the season ended.

For the first time since 1998theBulldogsdidn’twinaSouth-ern Buckeye Conference divi-sion title.

“I would call it a trying sea-son,” coach Geoff Carter said.“Itwas a test formeanda lot ofthe guys. … We got to the sec-ond round (of the sectionaltournament), it’s not as far aswewouldhave liked,buta lotofstuff happened this year out-side of baseball that broughtthe guys together. It definitely

made me realize it’s just agame.”

Carter thought his guysmight find somemomentum inthe postseason after climbingout of a 6-0 hole against Read-ing in their postseason openeren route to a 10-9 win, but theirmomentum came to a screech-inghalt after a10-0 loss to Sum-mit Country Day to close thebook on a unique season.

“When we won the (Read-ing) game we were on a highand I was thinking regardlessof what is going on we couldride this thing,” the coach said.“It didn’t happen. We made ahuge two-out error and oncethat happened, it took the windout of the sails pretty quickly.”

Two bright spots this seasonwere the play of seniors RyanGormley and Austin Lenhardt.Gormley–who is in theprocessof deciding where he will playcollege baseball – is the reign-ing two-time SBC National Di-vision Player of the Year andhit .408with21RBIfortheBull-dogs.Lenhardtdrove in33runswhile hitting .456. The short-stop will play for the Univer-sity ofNorthwesternOhio nextseason.

“This senior class is theclass I started with,” Cartersaid. “They will always have aspecial place in my heart andmemory, andwhen I look back,I feel as if I grew up with themtoo. ... I haven’t had to worry

about shortstop and third base.It’s been nice just being able topencil them in for four years.”

The Bulldogs may have hadone of the most underratedpitching staffs around. SeniorsHunterMeadors,DakotahNor-man and Tyler Luginbuhl allposted sub-2.30 ERA’s this sea-son.

“When I was putting in thestats after every game and I’dlook up and see we have threeguys under (2.30 ERA), I’mthinking we have to have morewins,” thecoachsaid. “…Itwasnice to have guys to run outthere and almost have an abun-dance of arms. Unfortunatelythose good numbers didn’tequate to more wins.”

Batavia senior Ryan Gormley swings and hits a double, driving in two of his five RBI in an 11-2 win over Clermont Northeastern April 13 as partof the Reds Futures Showcase. The reigning two-time SBC National Division Player of the Year hit .408 with 21 RBI in 2013. TOM SKEEN/COMMUNITY

Bulldogs fall short of titlefor first time in 15 yearsBy Tom Skeentskeen@communitypress.com

UNION TWP. — A difficultMay and a difficult schedulemade for a difficult season forGlen Este’s baseball team.

The Trojans (11-14) fought tothebitterend, losinginthetour-nament to Lakota East on May17 in eight innings, 5-4. It wasGlen Este’s fourth extra-inningloss and their eighth loss bythree runs or less.

“We played as well as weplayed all season and just fell alittle short,” coach Mike Hat-field said.

With tough losses toMoeller,Loveland and Kings, the Tro-jansmight havebeenone of thebetter11-14 teamsaround.Theyalso recorded wins against La-kota West, Turpin andMilford.

“We had several games thisseason where we were in posi-tion to get really big wins and

westruggled to finish thedeal,”Hatfield said. “We didn’t fieldthe ball quite the way Iwould’ve liked and we put toomany guys on base.”

In the Eastern CincinnatiConference, the Trojans werefourth at 5-7. They did handMilford one of its two leaguelosses,butcouldn’tgetbyLove-land or Kings.

Many ECC teams had simi-lar “Jekyll and Hyde” seasons,asWalnut Hills, Turpin and An-derson had up and down years.

“It’s a very, very goodleague,” Hatfield said. “We losta lot of close games. We hit theball well. Our defense was ourAchilles heel the other day(against LakotaEast). It alwaysseemed like it comes at themost inopportune times.”

GlenEste nowgraduates sixseniors in Alec Gordon, TylerSloan, Charlie Schmidt, AustinRieck, Jake Velten and Austin

Istvan.Istvan led the ECC in hom-

ers with four and drove in aleague-leading 30 runs whilehitting .409. On the mound, hewas 4-4 and struckout 47 in 40.1innings. Fellow seniors Rieckand Sloan were also over .300and reliable run producers.

“I felt like every team weplayed, we had an opportunityto beat,” Hatfield said of his of-fense. “The first part of our or-der hit the ball consistently allyear long.”

On the other hand, Hatfieldreadily acknowledges the im-portance of defense.

The good news is three ju-niors, eight sophomores and afreshman will be a year older.

“We’ll bring a lot of guysback,” Hatfield said. “We’ll seehow that goes. These youngerguys got some quality experi-ence this year.”

Key in that group are the

Burdick brothers. Tyler Bur-dick will be a senior and hisbrother, Peyton, a junior.

Tyler Burdick hit .397 anddrove in 20 runs, while Peytonhit .438 with a pair of homersand 18 runs batted in. Theyounger Burdick finished 4-2on the hill with a 2.97 ERA .

With theBurdicksandsevenyet-to-be determined Trojans,Glen Este should be back in the2014 hunt.

Honor FlightOn May 21, my wife Mary Jo

and I had theprivilege of escort-ing twoKoreanWar veterans onan Honor Flight to WashingtonD.C.

HonorFlights (knownnation-wide by various names) takeWorld War II and Korean Warvets to see their memorials inD.C. It is completely free for theveterans. Guardians pay theirown way. The IRS was afraid tomess with this group (bad PR),so contributions are tax deduct-ible. Everyone wore T-shirtswhich said, “If youcanread this,thank a teacher. If you can readthis inEnglish, thankaVeteran.”

It was a day both veteransand guardians will long remem-ber. As JFK said, “Ask not whatyourcountrycando foryou.Askwhat you can do for your coun-try.” It was a distinct honor tospend the day with 72 bravemembers of the “Greatest Gen-eration”who chose the latter op-tion.

Interested in helping out?Google Honor Flight Tri-Statefor details. Volunteers, payingor not, are always needed.

John JosephClermont County Tea Party

Goshen, OH

Watergate? Deja vuMr. Joseph in his letter re-

quests the assistance of Wood-ward and Bernstein to look intoWhite House “scandals.” It ap-pearsMr. Josephalreadyhashismind made up, so why requesttheir considerable investigativetalents to look into these mat-ters?

Also, as a Tea Party 501(c)4non-profit organization, refer-ring to anyone who disagreeswith him as he refers to as “aragingLiberal or a blithering id-iot (Pardon the redundancy)” ...does this fall under the defini-tion that “a 501(c)(4) organiza-tion may inform the public oncontroversial subjects and at-tempt to influence legislationrelevant to its program, and, un-like501(c)(3)organizations, theymay also participate in politicalcampaignsandelections, as longas itsprimaryactivity is thepro-motion of social welfare.”

I see why the IRS has ques-tioned the legitimacy of these socalled social welfare groups“promoting the common goodand general welfare of the peo-ple of the community.” That is astretch.

LETTERS TO THEEDITOR

Cuts to Ohio’s local govern-ment fund and removal of theestate tax are the unfortunateresults of an irresponsiblegovernor. Opportunities andwealth from past generationsare leaving our state and arebeing replaced by poor meth-ods for Ohio’s sustainment,such as cutting taxes andfunds that benefit Ohioansdirectly. As of Jan. 1, 2013, thestate no longer imposes anestate tax on the transfer ofassets from resident decedentsor of Ohio assets of nonresi-dents. These new changes arecultivating a weakened elec-torate that will face re-in-stituting prior taxes, imple-menting new ones, or a combi-nation thereof because of thelack of initiative by John Kas-ich. Due to income tax cuts thestate legislature enacted in2005, Ohio has underper-formed especially in the areaof job creation. The U.S. em-ployment base grew 2.1 per-cent between 2005 to 2013.

During thesame timeperiod, Ohio’semploymentrate de-creased 4.4percent. InMarch of 2013,Ohio lost20,000 jobs.These nega-tive indicatorspoint toward

irresponsibility.Take the estate disparity

betweenmost of Union Town-ship in Clermont County andObservatory Hill near HydePark in Hamilton County: Doyou think the governor’s deci-sion to remove the estate taxtook into account the revenuelost that would help alleviatedifferences between the ser-vices provided in both of theseplaces? And, which populationdo you think is effectedmoreby the estate tax - Hyde Parkor Union Township? Affluenthouseholds in both Hyde Park

and Union Township can un-dergo an estate tax, but thelatter is more needing of theprotections and conditions thatthe tax creates. The estate taxwasmostly opposed by theowners of large farms; howev-er, Ohio’s farms are increas-ingly owned by interstate cor-porations. Among the gover-nor’s other changes are reduc-ing tax rates on businesses byhalf; cutting the income taxrate 20 percent over threeyears; and lowering the salestax rate from 5.5 to 5 percent.

A facilitating mechanism ofthis decline is the one-partysuper-majority in the legisla-ture, enforced by fear, andabiding to whims of privateelites ultimately loyal to out-of-state interests. The super-majority in the legislaturereceived $81,046 fromAT&T,$55,779 from TimeWarnerCable, and $51,000 fromDukeEnergy between 2006 and 2012,indicating commercial service-providers whomany Ohioans

use in their own homes co-alesce to influence their vot-ing. What Ohio needs in 2013,2014 and beyond is a leaderwho will not cut revenue; whodefends the services of thestate; whose discretion to re-mind corporate interests, espe-cially large out-of-state corpo-rations, what it is allowed to dois relentless; and who willrecover lost resources drivenout.

Defending against Ohio’sinstitutional decline and theignorance it breeds directlycan be accomplished by well-educated, modestly-fundedlegislators’ candidacies acrossall Ohio, and by the cities,towns and townships that re-fuse inaction.

Tax cuts cause unfortunate results

We are the children, yoursons and daughters, nieces andnephews. We go to school andlisten to environmental sci-ence teachers tell us aboutglobal warming and the effectof greenhouse gasses on ourenvironment. When we comehome and hear the debate onglobal warming on nationaltelevision, we think, “this mustbe important, but what are weto do?” Truth is no one reallyseems to agree. When thisdebate started many yearsago, we, the children, thoughtthe adults would have it han-dled by now. But carbon diox-ide has a long life in our atmos-phere of 50 to 200 years, me-thane up to 12 years, whichmay require more than onegeneration to fix.

Reforestation is a good

start, but themain issue isour depen-dence on fos-sil fuels for allkinds of ener-gy, from run-ning our carsevery day toemergencygenerators.We’ve just gotto have it.

Some curious young peoplewonder for a fewminuteswhat life would be like withoutour phones or electricity for afew days. It’s a pretty hardconcept to wrap our headsaround. Imagine for a second,what era that would set usback to? Images of the middleages flash before our eyes.Things probably won’t get that

out of hand, but it sure doesmake one want to figure outhow to bemore energy effi-cient in order to save our mod-ern way of life. If changes toour lifestyle would save theenvironment, wouldn’t it beworth it? The scientists sayyes. After all, no atmospheremeans no human lives.

The people who opposeenvironmental scientists justwant us to think all of thescary facts the environmentalscientists are telling us areblown out of proportion. Theysay everything is really goingto be fine and that environ-mental scientists are telling uslies just to scare us into unnec-essary action. But, maybe wedo need scaring into action.Didn’t our mothers teach usthe old saying, “it’s better to

have it and not need it than nothave it and need it?” That isgood advice, whether we want-ed to hear it or not because itcan be applied to everything,not just your mittens or a hat.

Headlines in all kinds ofplaces are reading, “We’re at atipping point, we need to de-cide and we need to act now.”Environmental scientists aretelling us that small things canbe done now by anyone, andbig things need to be done nowby our leaders. So, what if theyare right? Can we afford to notdo anything at all, can we af-ford to do as little as possible?It won’t kill us to do everythingwe can do. It might kill us ifwe don’t try, so why not try?

May 22 questionDo you think IRS officials tar-

geting of conservative groups isa one-timemistake or does a cul-ture of abusing its power exist?

“I think people are givingthe IRS toomuch credit for tar-geting conservative groups.They are generally over-worked and underfunded anddonothavea lotofspare timetopursue political agendas.

“Groups with certain key-words in their names, like theones allegedly targeted, haveabusedthetaxsystemforyearsby claiming to be charitieswhen, in fact, they were politi-cal lobbying organizations.

“It is my belief that theywere ‘profiling’ these groupsfor audit for legitimate purpos-es. This was likely a well inten-tioned, but bungled move ontheir part.

“As a CPA practicing beforethe IRS, I deal with them fre-quently and, for the most part,they are sincere governmentemployees trying to do a diffi-cult job. When they do theirbest, everyone hates them andwhen they back off, Congressinvestigatesthemfornotcatch-ing the tax cheats.”

F.S.D.

“Tough call. I do believe

there is politics involved in thedecision to flag these groups.Nevertheless, the IRS isahuge,cumbersome bureaucracy.

“I think ineptitude, uncer-tain guidelines and directionand the ‘snail’space’movementof any government entity alsoplayed a part.

“Don’t get me wrong, I amnot an Obama supporter. Ithink, however, the Republi-canscanget a lot ofmileageoutof this (and Idon’t blame them).When the shoe’s on the otherfoot the same thing happens.”

T.B.

“I think this is just anotherexample of the government’strying to suppress the conser-vativemovement in order to in-

sure the success of its socialistagenda items. Strike fear in thehearts of the people and theywill shut up, allowing things asheinous as the Third Reich tooccur.

“It’s starting to happen hereand everything is beingcouched in the positive ratio-nale that ‘it’s for the commongood.’ Even the seemingly ben-eficial reverse mortgages arejust anotherway for the feds tograb up land that would other-wisego to theheirs of theelder-lypeoplewhoarejustusingthistactic as a way to reduce theirliving costs.

“When the governmentstarts overstepping its legalbounds, legislating every as-pectofour livesandthechoiceswe used to be free to make weknow that tyranny has arrived.Both political parties are guiltyof this.

“It’s timetoreclaimourCon-stitution and get back to thehonor and dignity that thiscountry once had. We need anew, strong third party filledwith uncorrupted politicianswho can stop the insanity be-fore we find ourselves living intheUSSR(UnitedStatesSocial-ist Republic). It didn’t work inthe original USSR and it won’twork here, at least not whileolder Americans who remem-

ber our God-given freedomsare still alive.

“Unfortunately, our systemof education is promoting thesocialist, liberal agendaand theyounger generation thinks thatthis is the way to go. I miss the‘old’ America ... a country inwhichpeopleworkedhard foraliving and would rather diethan to live off of the sweat ofanother person’s brow.

“Liberal, social policies de-stroy this desire to work hardand they also destroy morality,ethics, and common decency.”

C.H.

“Oh, I amsure this is a politi-cal motivated move of the cur-rent administration on part ofthe IRS. Being the history of abully, the IRS in the most parthas been more user friendlythese past few years.”

O.R.

“I think it is a one-time mis-take based on poor oversight.

“However,sincetheTeaPar-ty mantra is anti-tax, and notwantingtopayanythingbacktothe country, I don’t mind thatthey were being investigated.

“If any group would seek toabuse a non-profit status to fur-ther their political agenda itwould be the Tea Party.”

Devin Patchell visited theGaza Strip inNovember 2012. Ifhe told us how, it could cause asafety risk.

“It was definitely a very dif-ficult thing getting in,” he said.“TheGaza Strip is locked down.It’sanoccupiedterritory. It’s re-stricted entry and exit. It’s real-ly a challenge to get in.”

The 26-year-old grew up on afarm in Batavia and graduatedfrom Clermont NortheasternHigh School. After graduatingfrom Ohio University, he com-pleted a masters degree in pub-lic health at theColoradoSchoolof Public Health. He went intoGaza for twoweekswhilework-ing toward a medical degree inIsrael.Heplans to go into emer-gency medicine and is very in-terested in disaster reliefmedi-cine.

“It is one of themain reasonsI chose to find a way to get intoGaza right after thewar; to gainexperience to help people insuch a time of need,” Patchellsaid. “I definitely wouldn’t beable to gain that experience if Iwere in a school back in theU.S.This was a huge experience forme.”

It is the kind of experienceBetty and Kenneth Patchellfearedwhen their son informedthem of his choice to attend theMedical School for Interna-tional Health (MSIH) in Israel.It is also exactly the type of ex-perience to which Betty nowknows her son has been called.

“To put it mildly, I’d say wewere very upset,” Betty said.“It’s not like we can be there inan instant if anything wouldhappen. As things progressed –he was very, very happy beingover there – I realized therewasa bigger calling for Devin than

what his dad and I had for him.”It is not a realization she

came to easily, but she knowsthat’s what it is.

“He is so totally thrilled thathe made that decision,” shesaid. “What he is seeing is be-yond what he would have seenhere. It’s what Devin is allabout.”

Betty recognizes her son’sdesire for knowledge and un-derstanding. She saw itwhenhewas young.

“He never just accepted theway things were,” she recalled.“He always had to know why.Hewantedmoredetail,more in-volvement.Heneeded tounder-stand from beginning to end. Ifirmly believe that’s what he islearning from the experienceshe’s having now.”

His drive to learn impressedUniversity of Colorado asso-ciate professor Dr. Lucinda(Cindy) Bryant, PhD, MSHA.

“I was his adviser,” Bryantsaid. “I wish I knew the answerto what drives him, because I’duse it to guide other students. Ithink it’s internal to Devin.”

Bryant met him when he en-tered the MPH program at theuniversity. He completed theprogram as quickly as it could

be done. Patchell was a strongstudent who did quite well de-spite taking more credit hoursthan she recommended.Healsoshowed her a passion for travel.

“I know his mother was con-cerned about his choice to go toIsrael,” said Bryant. “In thetime I’ve known him, he’s takenevery opportunity to travelwhereverhecouldgo.Hestrapson his backpack, takes off andexplores the world.”

Patchell hopes to use thoseopportunities, to apply lessonslearned, to give him a betterchance to make a difference asa doctor in the future. Like theexperience of getting intoGaza.

“Once I got in, immediately Iwas taken with open arms, ush-ered into hospitals and clinicswheremyhelpcouldbemadeofuse,”Patchell said. “Just tohavethat experience. It was the firsttime in my medical experiencewhereIwasapplyingmyknowl-edge and directly contributingto bettering somebody’s healthin an acute situation; actuallyhelping them right then andthere.”

Patchell has endless storiesabout things he saw in Gaza;things he’s sure he won’t seeanywhere else. He visited afamily with a young girl suffer-ing fromarareskindisease thatresults in chronic and ultimate-ly fatal infections. Her familyhad no idea what the diseasewas, or what could be doneabout it. He was able to helpthemunderstandwhatwas hap-pening, get her some medicineto help right then, and arrangefollow up care with an Italiandermatology group.

“From that point forward,this little girl, who had no care,without a doctor, without anyhopeformedicalcare, isgettingongoingmedical care from car-ing, competent physicians,”

said Patchell. “One of the big-gest things I did while I wasthere was network with otherphysicians working for humanrights issues.”

Public health and humanrights are what drove Patchellto help develop a program forbetter public health in under-served communities.

“The idea was to take a pro-gramwhichexistedatamedicalschool in India; to sort of tweakthatprogramtomake it applica-ble to thecommunityhere in theNegevdesert in Israel,” he said.

During the past year, Patch-ellworkedwith IreneKoplinka-Loehr, who is also a student atMSIH,and theycreated thepro-ject called“GlobalHealthMadeLocal.”

“We had to do a lot of tweak-ingandwemade itmore family-based,” Patchell said. “We pairincomingmedical studentswitha family that is disadvantaged;socio-economicly, culturally,out of what the health care nor-mally reaches out to here in theBeer-Sheva area.”

The point of the program isfor the students to learn fromthefamilies.Students thatenterMSIHand theBen-Gurionmed-ical program in Israel alreadyare motivated to learn aboutcultural competencies in medi-cine within different cultures.The program sets up an oppor-tunity for these students to helpthe family in a collaborativeway learning from one another.

“We just started this year,”said Patchell. “We have eightfirst-year students with fourfamilies from all differentbackgrounds. They’ve beenmeeting throughout the year.”

“We’re hoping to make a dif-ference with the families them-selves,” Patchell said. “We alsowant to find out what is work-ing, what isn’t working, and

what can be done to continuetheir improvement. The idea isfor the program to be valuableenough to adapt and still be ef-fective anywhere.We’re hopingit takes off, but again I’mspeak-ing from vision and not evi-dence.”

Original financial supportcame from the Rotary Interna-tional Health ScholarshipPatchell received for the pro-ject. To continue, they’ll needmore financial resources.

“This project here is peoplewanting to make a differenceand people who want a differ-ence to happen,” said Patchell.“It’s right here on the ground. Isee it all the time. It’s actuallyworking. If anybody out therewants to give assistance tomake a difference here, thatwould be appreciated.”

Patchell always has found away to get things done. Bryantthinks he’s seen a lot with verylittle financial resources. Shecalls him too complex to sumupin one perfect quote.

“He loves the adventure ofall this,” she said. “He gets areal kick out of this; like goinginto Gaza. It’s nice that he cantransfer that to the public good.He’ll do well if he stays alive.”

While in his second year ofmedical school, Patchell plansto come back to Columbia Uni-versity in New York for hisfourth year to complete hismedical degree. He remainscommitted to emergency/disas-ter medicine and may have hisresidency in the United States.

“He’sanexceptional student,very focused on why he’s doingwhat he’s doing,” Bryant said.“He has a love of life; an adven-turesome spirit. I’d say not al-ways wise, but always focusedand there’ll be good outcomes. Ireally look forward to the nextact in his life.”

NEW CUB SCOUTS

Batavia Wolf Pack 742 members listen to Den LeaderLiz Garrison, right, talking to them about thefundamentals of being new Cub Scouts. THANKS TOHAROLD KAHL

When I put in requestsfor recipes, I usually justput them in once, maybetwice. If I don’t get aresponse from you orhave nothing in my files,

I go on tothe nextrequest.But thisone fromMarkBurnhim-er hastouchedmy heartin a waythat I amasking,

once again, if any of youcan help.

Mark told me: “After aminor health issue, mycaregiver had sharedwith me that he and hiswife really missed Zino’sand that he would beeternally happy if some-one had some of the oldrestaurant recipes, in-cluding the Zino Burger.Have you got anythingthat might resemble thatin your file? I’d like topay back someone for theexcellent care I receivedwhile I was not at mybest.” Mark has con-tinued to follow up, ask-ing if I’ve received any-thing. So if any of youcan come even close, orcan get the recipe, do letme know.

Kit Whiteman’s cornbread

“I’m such a fan andread your recipes everyweek. Here’s my recipefor corn bread. So quickand easy and tastes good,too,” Kit said. She’s righton all three counts.

1box Jiffy Yellow Cakemix1box Jiffy Corn Breadmix

Preheat oven to 375degrees. Follow packagedirections for each box.Place all ingredients inone bowl and blend. Pourinto a greased 8-inchround or square pan andbake 25 minutes, untilgolden brown.

Cornbread fromscratch

Check out my Cookingwith Rita blog for thisrecipe. Go to Cincin-nati.Com/blogs.

Buffet broccoli saladBroccoli was on sale

at the grocery and I had acraving for this salad. It’snot low fat or low sugar,but it’s always the first togo on the buffet table.

SaladMix together:

1 large head of broccoli, cutinto florets (if stems are

tender, use them, too,sliced thinly)

Generous 1⁄2 cup chopped redonion

2 cups shredded cheddarcheese

1⁄2 pound bacon, cut up andsautéed

DressingWhisk together:

1 cupmayonnaise1⁄2 cup sugar1⁄4 cup red wine vinegar ormore to taste (I usuallyaddmore)

Pour dressing oversalad ingredients. Tosswell. When serving, digdeep so that you get allthe goodies that tend tofall to the bottom.

Tonya Fischer’sdetox bath

After I shared recipesfor natural scrubs, etc., Ihad more requests fornatural bath soaks, espe-cially ones using Epsomsalts. I met Tonya during

a presentation I did atMacy’s corporate officeson healthy living. Sheworks with ExecutiveChef Rick Toennis. Rickand Tonya believe, as Ido, in Mother Nature’shealing powers. She toldme about a soothing de-tox bath she enjoys, and Iasked her to share therecipe.

“When I’m not feelingso good or after a longday at work or workout, Isoak in this bath,” Tonyatold me.

I’m going to make thismyself and soothe thesore muscles I now haveafter our car got hit witha 200-pound deer.1⁄3 cup Epsom salt1⁄3 cup sea salt1⁄3 cup baking soda1 tablespoonpowdered/ground ginger

1 cup apple cider vinegar10-20 drops Eucalyptusspearmint oil, or justEucalyptus oil

Draw a bath with wa-ter as hot as you stand it.As tub fills, add all ingre-dients. Water will turnyellow/orange but don’tworry. Soak for about 40minutes. While soaking,drink 24 oz. ice water. Ifyou want, rub skin gently(always toward yourheart) to stimulate lym-phatic system and helpclean out toxins. Dry offand drink another 24 oz.water as soon as possible,then relax.

Tips from TonyaEpsom salt: Makes

you sweat, reduces in-flammation, relievesmuscle aches.

Sea salt: Helps leachout toxins, soothes opensores or blemishes.

Baking soda: Bal-ances an overly acidicsystem, softens water,skin and helps eliminatechlorine.

Ginger: Increasescirculation, opens pores,makes you sweat.

Vinegar: Restoresacid-alkaline balance,softens skin, helpful foracne.

Massage oil: Relaxesbody and senses.

Howdy folks,Ruth Ann and I went

outside Feesburg to get anice swarm of honeybees from a big pinetree. They were two feetoff the ground. I took thebox we made to get beesin, put it under thebranch, did some trim-ming, then pushed thelimb over the box andcut the limb. I think wegot all but about six oreight bees. It was earlyin the morning. The beeshadn’t woke up realgood, so it was easier. Itwas a big swarm. Wewould like to get somemore, so give us a call ifyou have any.

We saw somethingthat a person doesn’t seeoften. It was a bird chas-ing a cat as we wentthrough Feesburg. Thecat was a kitten, evi-dently got too close to anest. There is so much tosee if you take the time.As they say “stop andsmell the roses.”

We got another callabout bees at Mt. Orab.We were tied up andcouldn’t go so we calledDanny Grant and hewent and got them.While we were finishingthe project we wereworking on another callabout bees came in. Thisone was at the IGA storein Bethel. They were onthe sidewalk, a smallbunch, so we took a hivebox, laid it on the groundin front of them. Ipecked on the box withmy hand. They startedgoing in. We had sprayedthe box with sugar waterbefore we went. Wespent a lot of time wait-ing for the bees to go inthe hive. We put sugarwater in plastic bags, laythem in the hive andpunch small holes in thebag so the bees can suckthe sugar water out. Thisgives them something tostart building the hive.We have lost bees beforewith nothing in the hivefor them to feed on. Thismixture is a half cup ofsugar to one-quarter cupwater. This sure helpskeep bees and a make agood hive.

Last Sunday afterchurch, Ruth Ann and I

went toOwensvillefor a his-toricalmeeting,The speak-er for theprogramwas Tony.The folkssure en-joyed his

talk. He had severalIndian artifacts he hadfound years ago. Thiswas an educational expe-rience for the folks. Hiswife Kate also gavesome thought on theartifacts. The cabin andmuseum will be have anopen house on thesedates, from 1 p.m. to 4p.m. They are SaturdayJune 8, July 13. Now July22 to the July 27 is theClermont County Fairand the Owensville His-torical Building will beopen in the afternoonsand evenings all week.Then back to the openhouses, Aug. 10, Sept. 14,Oct. 12, Nov. 9 and Dec.14. Then also on Dec. 1will be the Owensville

Historical Society’sChristmas dinner at theJackson Township Hall.This group of folks areworking towards teach-ing the school childrenabout the history of ourcounty. If no one tells thechildren about the histo-ry, they will never learnabout it.

I talked to Mike at theBoars Head Bait Shop inAfton. The fishing isextra good here and onthe Ohio River. The basstournament held hereeach Tuesday evening:The winner weighed inat 8 pounds one weekand 10 pounds anotherweek. For crappie ifusing live bait, use min-nows, small and mediumsize, fish under a bobber,or use small grubs. Fishslow with the grubs.Good luck to all.

The garden is doinggood. We cut spinach lastweek for the freezer andlettuce to use. Last Mon-day, Ruth Ann fixedwilted lettuce with greenonions, bacon and vine-gar. By golly, it was

good. The asparagus isdoing good, so we arehaving some for meals.The strawberries arestarting to get ripe. It ishard waiting for them toget red. We called A&MOrchards. They said itwill be early June whenthey have pick “yourown strawberries.”

The grass I mow for

Ruth Ann’s cousins final-ly got mowed one time.It was big and tall. I hopeto mow it today. This isTuesday morning, as Iwrite this.

There will be lots ofevents taking place so ifyou can attend these, youwill be happy to be in-volved. This is importantto help support your

community.Start your week by

going to the house ofworship of your choiceand praise the GoodLord. God bless all. Morelater.
