BATAVIA TWP. — Townshiptrustees June 5 approvedchanges in the development planfor an apartment complex thatreduces the number of units from56 to 48.

Zoning administrator DeniseKelley said the changes soughtby developer Paul Grammas arefor the proposed Sparta Villageapartments off Laub Road.

The development is adjacentto the existing Bayberry Cross-ing apartments.

Kelley said the original planwas approved by the trustees in2007.

Township zoning consultantJonathan Wocher said originalplans by the developer called forgarage units on the property.

The developer no longerwants to build the garage unitsbecause the of the real estatemarket, Wocher said.

The revised plan calls for one-story buildings with betweenthree and six one- or two-bed-room apartments per building, hesaid.

Wocher said parking for theunits would be in front of thebuildings.

Access to the complex origi-nally was through BayberryCrossing, but the new plan callsfor access from Laub Road.

The revised plan includes re-quirements for controlling thedrainage, Wocher said.

A publication of

Last week’s questionShould the Ohio General As-

sembly consider a ban on thesaleof largesodasandothersug-ary drinks in an effort to combatobesity? Why or why not?

“As soon as they ban ‘House-wives of Orange County,’ ‘JerseyShore,’ half of the items sold atKroger, girls' shorts that say'Dancer' on the butt, saying'should have went' instead of'should have gone,’ PaneraBread, Big Apple Bagels, any-thing at Starbucks ... I could con-tinue but I do have a life. Govern-ment will let you kill your unbornbaby, but you can't have a BigGulp? Oh, the insanity.”

L.A.D.B.

“This kind of thing (being con-sidered already in New York) isgovernment interference in theprivate sector in a frighteningway that is almost impossible tobelieve. People, we all have freewill, and we can do whatever wewant as long as our actions don'tviolate the rights of others.

“If I want to be fat, that's mybusiness. If I want to work outregularly, that's my business,too. Government, stay OUT ofour personal liberty!”

Bill B.

“What a ridiculous idea! Youcan't legislate away all risk inlife, and you can't, or shouldn't,protect every citizen from mak-ing their own poor choices.

“Mayor Bloomberg in NewYork has gone way over the lineon this one and where he goes noone should follow!”

R.W.J.

“If such a rediculous law ispasses, I will personally servethe 26 oz. size and wait for themto arrest me. I'll make head-lines!”

J.K.

“How many of our forefa-thers came to America to escapeoppressive governments? Canyou believe that it is our own gov-ernment that seeks to force us tobuy just a certain size and type ofdrink? Next thing you know itwill outlaw placing sugar on thetables for coffee or tea becausewe are too stupid to know how touse it!

“Well we're not too stupid toremember the arrogant jerkscome election time. What next,no free refills? Seriously, even ifit is the job of government tocombat obesity, its track recordfor fighting drug and alcoholabuse prove it incapable of suc-ceeding in any war to control hu-man behavior.”

R.V.

“The ban in New York City isthe new low for political stupid-ity. No real control over firearmsbut they want to control softdrinks. I thought buying waterwas stupid ! This is more thanstupid.

J.S.D.

“NO! Less government, we donot need a police state!!!!”

K.S.

“They should ban sugarydrinks right after they ban jum-bo fries, unprotected sex, malt li-quor, body odor, smoking, flatu-lence, cursing, driving whiletexting, eating red meat everyday and dirty cars.

“People already have theright to do all sorts of things thatare offensive to others or bad forthem. The government needs toget out of our lives and do thingsthat they do best, like enforce the

speed laws, educate children,run the courts, provide roadmaintenance, etc.

“Living in a free countrymeans we have the right to dothings that are bad for us.”

F.S.D.

“Even though this kind of leg-islation seems to be the trendthese days as we move towardempowering the government toprotect us from ourselves, no.People need to take responsibil-ity for their actions and have thefreedom to fail if they choose.

“The question is whether oth-er people should be forced to payfor the results of these gluttons'unhealthy food choices throughgovernment-provided healthcare or private health insur-ance.”

P.C.

“Pretty soon, you will get upin the morning to a banned alarmclock. Why ban something thathas been in use for generations?It is the right as a U.S. citizen toto consume what they want. Ifobesity is the result, that is theresponsibility on the consumer.

“What is next, banning fastfood, boxed meals sold in groce-ry stores, foods sold at festivalsand bake sales? Governmentshould stick to ensure laws areenacted and enforced, not put aban on something that will notwork.”

O.H.R.

“No! One soda jerk nanny isenough.”

J.G.

“How much more are we go-ing to allow government to con-trol our lives. We are so hep oneducation, yet we cannot controlour own instincts.

“If you want to smoke –smoke, if you want to drink sodasor sugary drinks – drink. Comeon people, learn self control.THAT IS THE ANSWER.”

D.J.

“I applaud Mayor Bloomburgand think New Yorkers will bebetter off not purchasing extralarge sugary drinks. Obesity is avery serious problem in thiscountry.

“If Ohio legislators could passthe same kind of legislation allOhioans would benefit. Whoneeds 40 ounces of a sugarydrink? No one. Let's supportabolishment of one of the manycauses of obesity in children aswell as adults.”

E.E.C.

“I think they better becauseobesity can lead to so many otherhealth issues down the road. As aretiree, I need those still in thework force to remain as healthyas possible so they can continueto work and continue to contrib-ute to Social Security so I cankeep collecting it. I don't wantthe system to go insolvent beforeI die, so our government needs todo everything within their powerto keep people working andtherefore paying into the sys-tem.

Stepping Stones’ summercamp for children with disabili-ties runs Monday-Friday fromJune 11 to Aug. 10.

Close to160 children with dis-abilities, 60 staff & 100 volun-teers participate daily in thisunique program that focuses onchildren’s abilities while accom-modating their disabilities.

We want to alert neighbors tothe camp schedule, so motoristswho pass Stepping Stones at5650 Given Road in Indian Hillcan be aware of possible trafficcongestion.

Staff and volunteers arrivebetween 8 and 8:30 a.m. Childrenarrive in buses and cars at 9 a.m.and are picked up between 3 and3:45 p.m.

Many of our children moveslowly, use wheelchairs or needa steadying hand. Patience is alife skill for them. Unfortunate-ly, there may be times when mo-

torists need to borrow that skillfor a few minutes – especially inthe first weeks of camp

We work hard to keep thingsmoving quickly and appreciateyour understanding. Old IndianHill Road is a possible alternateroute.

If you happen to be behind abus or car carrying a child with a

disability, please consider awave and a big smile. Childrenknow when they are in the way.These children know that morethan most. Your smile couldmake a child’s day.

With best wishes for yoursummer,

As we honor national Men’sHealth Week (June 11–17) it isimportant to focus on prostatehealth, one of most pressingissues for men today.

Did you know that one insix men will develop prostatecancer?

The statistics are sobering,but as with many types ofcancer, early detection makesall of the difference. That iswhy it is so important for mento have an annual prostateexam when they reach 50years of age. You should alsoconsider starting your annualprostate exam by age 40 ifthere is any family history ofprostate cancer – it is best totalk to your physician to deter-mine when it’s best for you tobegin your annual exam.

Did you know that more

than two mil-lion men inthe U.S. areprostate can-cer survivors?

The goodnews is thatthe diseasecan often bemanagedwhen it’scaught intime. And we

have better options for thetreatment of prostate cancerthan ever before, includingminimally-invasive optionsthat allow patients to be backon their and resuming mostnormal activities just a fewweeks after surgery.

Early prostate cancer usu-ally causes no symptoms.Some advanced prostate can-

cers can slow or weaken yoururinary stream or make youneed to urinate more often,especially at night. But non-cancerous diseases of theprostate, such as benign pros-tatic hyperplasia (BPH) are amore common cause of thesesymptoms. This again un-derlines the importance ofgetting an annual prostateexam to help identify anysigns of prostate cancer assoon as possible.

Be sure to talk to your fam-ily physician or urologistabout your prostate health andwhen you should begin yourannual prostate exam.

Dr. Aaron Bey is a board-certified urologist on the med-ical staff at Mercy Health –Anderson Hospital and withThe Urology Group.

Question: I have ALS (LouGehrig’s Disease), and I wasrecently approved for SocialSecurity disability benefits. Iwant to continue to work. Can Iwork and get disability benefitsat the same time?

Answer: Special rules makeit possible for people receivingSocial Security disability bene-fits to work and still receivemonthly payments.

A trial work period allowsyou to test your ability to workfor at least nine months. Dur-ing your trial work period, youwill receive your full SocialSecurity benefits regardless ofhow much you are earning aslong as you report your workactivity to Social Security andyou continue to have a dis-abling impairment. In 2012, atrial work month is any monthin which your total earningsare over $720, or if you areself-employed, you earn morethan $720 (after expenses) orwork more than 80 hours inyour own business. The trialwork period continues until you

have workednine monthswithin a 60-month period.

After yourtrial workperiod, youhave 36months duringwhich you canwork and stillreceive bene-fits for anymonth your

earnings are not “substantial.”In 2012, we generally considerearnings over $1,000 per month($1,640 per month if you areblind) to be substantial. No newapplication or disability deci-sion is needed for you to re-ceive a Social Security disabil-ity benefit during this period.

For more information, visitThe Work Site at www.socialse-curity.gov/work and read theelectronic brochure, WorkingWhile Disabled-How We CanHelp, at www.socialsecuri-ty.gov/pubs/10095.html.

REAL ESTATE

I still chuckle when Iask my husband, Frank,what he wants for Father’sDay. His answer has nevervaried in all the yearswe’ve been married:“Some peace and quiet and

barbecuedribs.”

The ribsare theeasy part… and arestill hisfavorite.The peaceand quiet isanothermatter.

Remem-ber all the dads in yourlife, biological and other-wise. As I tell you eachyear, send a card, givethem a call, or invite themto join in the feast.

Grilled baby backribs

Brine for up to 4pounds of ribs:

This is optional, but Ihope you take the time todo it, since brining is away of increasing themoisture holding capacityof meat, resulting in amoister product when it’scooked.

1 cup Kosher salt1/2 cup sugar1 gallon cold water

Dissolve salt and sugarin water. Brine 4 hours,remove from brine, patdry and proceed with rub.

Rita’s rub:Sprinkle ribs with rub

up to a day head. Leftoverrub can be stored in thefrig.

Mix together:6 tablespoons garlic powder3 tablespoons chili powder2 tablespoons plus 1

teaspoon cumin2 tablespoons plus 2

teaspoons salt2 teaspoons coarsely

ground black pepper2 teaspoons Spanish hot or

sweet smoked paprika orregular hot or sweetpaprika

2 teaspoons allspice

Ribs:4 pounds meaty baby

back pork ribs, cut intoportions

To season ribs:Sprinkle rub on both

sides. Put on baking sheetand cover with foil. Re-frigerate at least 2 hoursor up to l day.

To grill ribs:Grill ribs over medium

heat until tender andcooked, turning occasion-ally, about 25-35 minutes.Then baste with sauce.Brush each side gener-ously. Continue grillinguntil sauce forms a stickycoating, about 3 minutesper side, brushing moresauce on as needed. Serve,passing more barbequesauce alongside.

My hot and smokybarbecue sauce

After cooking, adjustseasonings, adding morevinegar, etc. if you like. Ialways add more brownsugar to make it tastesimilar to MontgomeryInn’s.

4 cups catsup1/2 cup cider vinegar1/3 to 1/2 cup Worcestershire

sauce3/4 cup packed dark brown

sugar1/4 cup molasses1/4 cup yellow mustard2 tablespoons Tabasco2 tablespoons rub (see

above)2 teaspoons liquid smoke or

moreChipotle pepper powder to

taste or 1-2 chipotlepeppers in Adobo sauce,chopped fine (or coupleshakes cayenne – go easyon the cayenne if using)

Combine everything insaucepan and bring to aboil. Reduce heat to sim-mer and cook until darkand thick, about 20 min-utes.

Re-seasoning castiron cookware

Several of you haveasked about this. And ifyou are ever lucky enoughto come across an oldAmerican made cast ironpan, like Lodge or Gris-wold, don’t hesitate to buy

it. In my opinion, thesegems are still the best asfar as quality of iron andworkmanship. Log ontomy YouTube channel(Abouteating.com) to seemy video on seasoningiron skillets. Here’s themost current information.This is what Lodge cook-ware recommends, andthey are an Americancompany manufacturingAmerican cast iron.Lodge’s recommendationsare only slightly differentthan my video, which wasmade a few years ago.

Wash cookware withhot, soapy water and astiff brush. (Lodge saysit’s OK to use soap thistime because you arepreparing to re-season thecookware). Rinse and drycompletely. Apply a thin,even coating of meltedsolid vegetable shortening(or cooking oil of yourchoice) to the cookware(inside and out). Placealuminum foil on the bot-tom rack of the oven tocatch any dripping. Set

oven temperature to 350-400 degrees. Place cook-ware upside down on thetop rack of oven. Bake forat least one hour. After thehour, turn oven off and letcookware cool in oven.Store uncovered, in a dryplace when cooled.

Tip: I do use a bit ofsoap to wash my cast ironpans regularly, though thedebate rages on aboutusing soap at all. After thepan is completely dry, I’llheat it 1 minute on thestove to open up the pores,then I’ll wipe a little oil allover the inside. As it cools,the pores close, keepingthe pan seasoned.

Ribs, with a rub and grilled, make a good Father’s Day dish. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

Samantha Brannen ofUnion Township May 6 re-ceived the Gold Awardfrom Girl Scouts of West-ern Ohio. Sixteen GirlScouts received GoldAwards this year. Bran-nen was one of two GirlScouts from ClermontCounty to earn the awardthis year. The other is Car-olin Baker of Bethel.

Inspired by the ReadAcross America programthat influenced her love ofreading as a child, Bran-nen brought the programto a local school to inspireother children about read-ing. The first part of herprocess was to start a newand used book collectiondrive at Clough Pike Ele-mentary to teach studentsabout helping others whodo not have access tobooks. Brannen then part-nered with the Heart ofAmerica Foundation,which finds schools in

need ofbooks. Thecollectionat CloughPike wasable to pro-vide morethan 1,300books toSilverton

Padeia School and Betha-ny House. While at Betha-ny House organizing theirlibrary, Brannen noticedmore adult books wereneeded, so she added thatto her collection drive. Forthe final part of her pro-ject, Brannen created theprogram for the ReadAcross America Day atClough Pike. She thenworked with her ThespianSociety to put on the pro-gram at the school, whichcame full circle in inspir-ing everyone to read.

Brannen is a memberof the Glen Este HighSchool Class of 2012.

Howdy Folks,You have heard of a Rhode

Island rooster, a banty roosterand several other kinds of roost-ers. Well, I planted a purple

rooster, this is aflower of coursewe got from Tony.This is a bee balmplant which willattract hummingbirds, butterflies,and bees. It is aperennial and willgive off a beauti-ful fragrancewhen you brushagainst it.

Tuesday morning we set outanother bed of sweet potatoplants. We planted another tworows of potatoes and four rowsof cranberry beans. In the spin-ach bed behind the carpentershop we planted two rows ofgreen beans. The weather wasgetting too hot for the spinach soit was pulled up.

In the raised bed where wehad another bed of spinach wefound a nest with five eggs, thebird was a house sparrow set-ting in the bed. When we wouldwalk by the raised bed shewould fly out and set in the ap-ple tree and chirp at us. After awhile she would set on the nest

and look at us. It is so amazinghow birds will get used to what aperson will do, they seem torealize we are not going to hurtthem.

We have several nests ofbirds here at our place it is sointeresting to watch them. Thehummingbirds will stop at thefeeder while we are setting onthe porch. It seems after a whilethey get used to having us set-ting there and realize we are notgoing to harm them, these areour favorite bird. They usuallycome by the 15th of April butthis year they came later.

In the Birds and Bloom maga-zine there are pictures of thehumming bird nests and the twolittle ones being fed. They saythe nest is the size of a walnut itwill increase in size as the babybirds grow, amazing!

While I was feeding the bea-gle (Lady) last week I saw a deerlaying back by the garden. Ithought I saw a baby laying byher; when she stood up therewas a little brown baby. I calledRuth Ann to come see, she got tosee mother deer and baby go inthe woods. Several neighborshave seen baby deer aroundhere this year. This is the seasonwhen the farmers are cuttinghay and will find baby deer in

the hay fields, so I would hopethey are very careful whencutting hay not to hit one.

We have put up fence to keepthe deer out. Now we need to puta chicken fence, along with thedeer fence to keep the rabbitsout. They seem to like the newsweet potatoes we planted.

The new bed of strawberrieswe set out are doing good. Ipicked one ripe berry and thereare a few more starting to ripen.The other bed is done withstrawberries this year.

Folks you will be reading thisafter a couple fellers have abirthday, one will be 80 and theother one will be 100 yearsyoung on June 7. This feller thatwill be 100 lives in Oklahomanow. We have been friends forover 50 years and have done lotsof fishing, hunting and storytelling. Some of the stories youwould have trouble believingthat they were true but as afeller said, “no brags, justfacts.”

We went to our daughterPauline and her family’s houseSaturday evening for a birthdaycelebration for Ruth Ann, meand our grandson who’s birthdaywill be in a couple of weeks. Hewill be working evenings so wedid them all together. What a

great time on Sunday afternoon,Michelle and Brad stopped towish us both a happy birthday. Itis so great to have wonderfulfamily.

Ruth Ann and Bonnie havestarted the Junior Grange forthis year for children 5 years to14 years of age. They had theirfirst meeting last Monday withnine children and three mothershelping. The kids were paintingcoffee containers to makebanks. These were their owndesign with a little help from thegrownups cutting the hole forthe money to go through. Thesewere some interesting banks,they will be judged this fall andthe winner will go to the Grangeconvention. There will be otherprojects for the juniors to make.They are so eager to belong tothe Junior Grange and make thedifferent projects. If you have achild who would like to join giveRuth Ann a call. Ruth Ann hasbeen doing this Junior Grangefor 38 years.

The Clermont Senior Ser-vices Inc. have plenty of activ-ities for seniors. If you are in-terested call 947-7333, to getinformation along with some bustrips.
