Pierce Township residentswill learn in July the resultsof a recent community sur-vey.

About 10 percent of town-ship residents and businessesparticipated in the survey,which is considered a goodparticipation rate, Adminis-trator Tim Hershner said.The surveys primary focus

was on greenspace andparks, town-ship Communi-cations Coordi-nator JennyNewcomb said.

The trusteeswant to create apark and greenspace master

plan and most of the surveyquestions pertained to that,she said.

In the future we'd like todo an annual email survey toget resident opinions on ser-vices, like police and fire,etc., so we can make improve-ments there, Newcomb said.To achieve this, another com-ponent of the survey was toobtain email addresses whichwill allow the township tocommunicate via email withbusinesses and residents in acost effective way.

Creation of the survey it-self was free. The trustees,Hershner, department headsand community leadersworked with resident and re-tired Procter & Gamble em-ployee George Carpenter, avolunteer planning consult-ant, in preparing the survey,Hershner said. The only asso-ciated costs were from print-ing and mailing which totaled$2,200.

The survey closed May 31,and included 16 questionsthat were primarily designedfor getting a baseline on whatresidents like about the offer-ings in the township and whatthey'd like to see improved,Newcomb said.

The results will help thetrustees make decisionsbased on what's important toresidents, she said.

A new beach house that wasinstrumental in bringing the2015 USRowing Club NationalChampionships to ClermontCounty is now open at East ForkState Parks Harsha Lake.

The July 15-19 event 25 mileseast of Cincinnati, is one of thelargest summer regattas in theU.S., and its expected to drawthousands of athletes and spec-tators.

The beach house at HarshaLake, costing just under $1 mil-lion, was among $88.5 million inlast years capital budget to mod-ernize trails, campgrounds andrecreational facilities in Ohioparks, said James Zehringer, cqdirector of the Ohio Departmentof Natural Resources. He joineddozens of other state and localofficials at a June 6 ribbon cut-ting to celebrate the grand open-ing of the new facility.

As a backdrop to the event,dozens of would-be rowers triedout their skills on Lake Harshaas part of National Learn to RowDay.

The beach house, which hasshowers, restrooms and a con-

cession area, replaces an outdat-ed facility built in 1978. EastFork State Park also has newdocks built specifically for row-ers, thanks to state watercraftfunds, and plans call for more

state-funded improvements bynext year.

Im out here every weekendall summer long, Ohio StateRep. John Becker said at theopening of the beach house. For

those of you who rememberwhat used to be here and whatwe have now, its a huge im-provement.

GOSHEN TOWNSHIP Improvements have beenmade to a hazardous inter-section on a detour forstate Route 28 here andmore signs have been putup to improve safety.

At the June 9 meetingof Goshen TownshipTrustees, Administrator

Lou Ethridge reportedthat subcontractors forthe Ohio Department ofTransportation have wid-ened the intersection ofshort state Route 48 andstate Route 132 on the de-tour route so that largetrucks can make what waspreviously a sharp turn.

More signs also havebeen installed near thatthree-way intersectionwarning drivers to stop,and a sign on eastboundstate Route 28 and short 48informs motorists that theRoad (is) open to BeckHardware. The family-owned business is at 1798state Route 28, just be-yond the eastbound de-tour.

More updates on traf-

fic control measures andthe states progress on abridge replacement thatsprompted the closure ofpart of state Route 28 inGoshen Township wereexpected at a June 16meeting. That meetingwas set for 10 a.m. at Go-shen Township Hall.

Trustees agreed onJune 9 to look into leasinga second building for afirehouse west of thebridge closure during theState Route 28 project.The townships firehouseis east of the closure, andat a June 2 meeting withODOT, Steve Pegram,chief of Goshen Fire &EMS, said 75 percent ofthe departments runs arewest of the bridge closure.

The bridge replace-ment that began June 1 isexpected to take 75 days,but at the request of town-ship officials and localbusiness owners, ODOTstaff agreed to investigate

whether there was anyway to shorten the pro-ject.

At the townships June2 meeting with ODOTstaff, Andy Evans, presi-dent of the Goshen Cham-ber of Commerce, ex-pressed concern about theprojects potential nega-tive economic impact onlocal businesses.

Speaking for his ownbusiness, Evans FuneralHome just east of thebridge in Goshen Town-ship, Evans said that hewas looking at a possibleloss of tens of thousandsof dollars because manyof the cemeteries that thefuneral home goes to arewest of the bridge. He saidif traffic is significant atrush hour when many visi-tations begin, potential cli-ents may choose anotherfuneral home.

Lets not even discussEvans Funeral Home, itsowner said. People mightchoose to go to Frischs (onstate Route 28) ratherthan McDonalds for (asandwich).

Evans said he hopedthe June 2 meeting withODOT helped put a faceto business owners and

others affected by thetemporary state Route 28closure.

The Facebook page forBeck Paint & HardwaresGoshen Township storereminds customers thatit takes more than abridge closing to getBecks to close its doors.

Although owner StanBeck had said business onthe first couple says of theclosure was half of what itnormally was, customershave since figured outnew ways to get to BeckPaint & Hardware, saidStans son, Matt, who man-ages the Goshen store. Hesaid the sign at the east-bound detour stating thatBecks is open has helped

slightly. Most of our customers

are local, so they knowhow to get around the de-tours, Matt Beck said.They know the backroads.

A Goshen Townshipsafety fair has beenscheduled for June 30 atBeck Paint & Hardware.Organizers say that loca-tion was chosen partly tohelp customers realizethat the business is stillopen during the stateRoute 28 closure.

The East Fork StatePark improvements werethe first ones done withthe state capital funds al-located to improve Ohioparks, Zehringer said. Hethanked local representa-tives in Ohio state govern-ment, including Ohio Sen.Joe Uecker (R-MiamiTownship), and StateReps. Doug Green, (R-Mount Orab) and John

Becker, (R-Union Town-ship), for working withthe governor to get themoney to fix up East ForkState Park.

About a year ago, PaulSchmid, head coach forClermont Crew, whichwill co-host the USRowingClub National Champion-ships with USRowing,then-Ohio Senate Presi-dent Tom Niehaus, R-NewRichmond, and membersof the Clermont CountyConvention and VisitorsBureau, approached stateofficials about the need to

improve the facilities atEast Fork State Park.

Gov. (John) Kasichknows that in order to at-tract people, you need agood product, Zehringersaid. A perfect exampleis the USRowing Champi-onships back here in July.This is what attracts peo-ple, having a good prod-uct. Its almost like if youbuild it, they will come.

The New RichmondExempted Village SchoolDistrict is expecting bigsavings in its health anddental insurance costs af-ter pulling out of the Cler-mont County InsuranceConsortium and joiningthe larger SouthwesternOhio Educational Pur-chasing Council.

New Richmond spendsapproximately $3 milliona year for employeehealth and dental insur-ance and was facing an in-crease of 8 percent effec-tive July 1had it remained

in the Cler-montCounty In-suranceConsor-tiumwhich nowincludesall Cler-mont

County school districtswith the exception ofWest Clermont, Milfordand now New Richmond.

Health and dental in-surances represent thesecond largest expendi-ture for the district, in-

terim New Richmondtreasurer Mike Mowerysaid. Our Board of Edu-cation and administrationdecided to have an inde-pendent insurance agentassess our situation.

Mowery and Superin-tendent Adam Bird select-ed Horan Associates tofirst review New Rich-monds data and subse-

quently to seek bids fromadditional carriers andconsortiums for NewRichmonds business.

We had one bid comein from another insuranceconsortium, the South-western Ohio EducationalPurchasing Council, thatprovided for a 7 percentdecrease in premiums,Mowery said.

So instead of an in-crease of $240,000 in in-surance costs the districtwill realize a savings ofaround $200,000 in thecoming year. New Rich-mond had been part of theClermont County consor-tium for more than 25years.

Within the next sever-al years we expect the

savings from this changeto amount to over $1 mil-lion from lower premiumprices, Mowery said.

The decision to moveforward was made at aspecial school boardmeeting April 13 with thechange in coordinationwith certified and classi-fied employee bargainingunits.

Judge James ShriversFamily Treatment Depen-dency Court was awardeda grant of $86,680 that willallow it to offer medica-tion-assisted treatmentfor participants in thecourt who do not havehealth insurance.

The federal grant, ad-ministered through theOhio Office of CriminalJustice Services, will sup-ply about 18 participantswith medical treatmentdesigned to ease theirwithdrawal symptoms, in-cluding Suboxone and Vi-vitrol.

Suboxone helps to re-duce withdrawal symp-toms and cravings; Vivi-trol blocks the actions ofopioids. Medication-as-sisted treatment is the useof medications, in combi-nation with counselingand behavioral therapies,to provide a whole-patientapproach to the treatmentof substance use, accord-ing to the SubstanceAbuse and Mental HealthServices Administration.

Research has shownthat people have a muchbetter shot at finishingtreatment if they are canuse these medications tohelp them, Shriver said.This grant will enable usto offer that help to those

of our participants who donot have insurance, orwho are priced out of thetreatment even with in-surance.

The Clermont CountyFamily Treatment Depen-dency Court, one of 15 spe-cially certified treatmentcourts in Ohio, began lastfall in response to thegrowing number of chil-dren in the county whowere being placed intofoster care because theirparent or parents wereaddicts.

Those selected for theprogram are required togo through treatment, un-dergo frequent drugscreens, and appear incourt on a regular basis.

Those successfullycompleting the programwill be reunited with theirchildren, Shriver said.

The court has enrolledfive participants since itslaunch in November. Allhave received substanceabuse treatment. Twohave been reunified withtheir children; two havefound stable housing afterbeing homeless; one hasbeen employed for morethan 90 days and anotherrecently found a job, ac-cording to Angela Live-say, who administers theprogram.

JUNE 17, 2015 COMMUNITY JOURNAL 7ANEWS

Today really was a simple countrypleasures kind of day.

Son Shane brought his three girlsover and I took the two oldest ones,Eva, 7 and Emerson, almost 3, for awalk down to the East Fork river. Thegirls caught crawdads, tiny fish andscooped up lots of shells and othertreasures from the shallow water.

I didnt realize so much time hadpassed by until Shane came walkingdown with baby Ellery in his arms.Time for Emersons nap, he said.

So we went back to the house and eventhough Shane didnt stay for lunch I did have

all the makings ready for this simplepizza.

I was also going to photograph thegirls making the pizza for this column.But since that didnt happen, Ill share aphoto of the reason why: two little girlsenjoying, as I said, simple country plea-sures.

Kids can make easysunflower pizza

Sunflower pizzaThe little ones will love making this. Good even with just cheese.

1 can flaky biscuits, 10 oz.Pizza sauceMozzarellaOptional toppings: pepperoni, chopped bell peppers, mushrooms,

onions, etc.

Preheat oven to 400. Separate dough into 10 biscuits. Place 1 biscuit incenter of cookie sheet lined with foil and sprayed. Arrange remaining bis-cuits in circle, edges slightly overlapping, around center biscuit. Gently presswith your had into a 10-inch circle. This makes your sunflower. Spread a thinlayer of sauce on top. Sprinkle with your choice of toppings. End with top-ping of mozzarella. Bake 12-15 minutes. To serve, pull apart.

Mediterranean chicken with orange marmaladesauce

Lately Ive been using thighs for this recipe. I promised this recipe to ayoung man whose name I dont remember. He stopped to chat with me atthe store. Funny that I cant remember his name but do remember veryclearly what he wanted, so here it is: a really good tasting, fairly easy, maindish for chicken.

4-6 boneless skinless breast halves or thighsSalt, pepper, flourOlive oil3/4 to 1 cup white wine3 tablespoons lemon juice1 heaping teaspoon minced garlic or more1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes or more1/4 cup thawed undiluted orange juiceUp to 1-1/2 cups orange marmalade

Salt and pepper chicken, Dredge in flour. Saute in oil, browning wellon both sides. Keep warm. Pour wine in pan and cook, stirring to bringbrown bits up. Add lemon juice, garlic, red pepper, and half of the orangejuice. Bring to boil and cook about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 cup marmalade andrest of orange juice.

Taste and add more marmalade if desired. Serve on bed of rice orcouscous with sauce poured over chicken.

Five minute no-cook pizza sauceGo to taste on the flavorings. Use a food processor or whisk by hand.

Thanks to the reader, who shared this recipe. I like it because theres nocooking involved, she said. Freezes well.

Blend together:

15 oz. can tomato sauce6 oz. can tomato paste1-2 teaspoons minced garlic2-3 teaspoons dried oregano - start with 21-1/2 to 2 teaspoons dried basilOnion powder to taste - start with 3/4 teaspoon3/4 teaspoon sugar - this helps tone down some of the acid of the

tomatoes

A publication of

June 10 questionWhat should Cincinnati city

leaders and residents do to cur-tail the recent trends of gun-related crimes in the city?

Well its like the NRA al-ways says, An armed societyis a polite society, and rightnow I think that philosophyneeds to be put in place.

Instead of doing the typicalmiddle of the road, liberal,gun by back programs, I thinkcouncil needs to look to do agun distribution program to allthe citizens of Cincinnati. Iknow background checks areanathema to the NRA and GOP,so Id say push those aside andfigure a small segment of the

population may get guns thatshouldnt have them.

However if we can arm therest of the citizens, they canthen be there to help curtailand eliminate these gun-relat-ed crimes and criminal ele-

ments that are on the loose. Also with the All Star

Game coming up, this strategywill make out of town folksfeel safer, knowing that a largesegment of the population iscarrying and ready to defendnot only their own God givenrights but also those of our outof town guests.

C.S.

Though stop and frisk got abad name in New York, it cer-tainly found a lot of non-lawabiding citizens with guns. Toemphasize our intent to en-force the existing laws, theremust be clearly understoodconsequences for anyone usinga gun in the commission of a

crime. I believe it would bemore correct to refer to recenttrends of people-relatedcrimes. Perhaps, there shouldbe more activity on the part ofcommunity members to con-trol those people.

D.B.

It is time for the Cincinnatileaders to talk with past lead-ers with proven records ofreducing murder rates, likeperhaps the guys in NYC thatmade such drastic changes inthat murder capital back in the90s. Probably best if theyavoid chats with the folks inFerguson or Baltimore though.That was most definitely notthe way to go. We can do bet-

ter, but we sure as heck betterhurry up because the summeris just going to get hotter.

M.J.F.

Cincinnati has now hiredtwo police chiefs from outsidethe city. The sad part is Cincin-nati had a qualified in-housecandidate better suited to thetask (assistant chief Paul Hum-phries).

THIS WEEKSQUESTIONWhat is your favorite summervacation story (something thatyou personally experienced)?

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

On Monday, I was able toprovide a moment of joy andreassurance to a family whosestrength and dedication havebeen continually tested overthe last year.

A year ago, I received aphone call from Sean Hogan,

a constituentI have thepleasure ofrepresentingin the OhioSenate. Seansdaughter,Kayleigh, isone of thebravest, mostinspiring9-year-olds Ihave everencountered.

Kayleigh was diagnosed witha pediatric brain tumor lastyear which has led to herfamilys constant battle forher health and happiness.

Sean called my office forassistance after he was un-able to purchase a pediatricbrain tumor awareness li-cense plate. The sponsor or-ganization was unable to sellthe minimum number of 500plates required under statelaw and the plate was discon-tinued in January of 2014.

My office discovered thatOhios requirements for deter-mining the minimum numberof plates that must be soldwas not changed after theadoption of new license plateprinting technology. New

license plate printers allowunique license plates to beprinted without disrupting theproduction process, even forsmaller specialized orders.

We drafted legislation andstarted the journey throughthe legislative process. Final-ly, after months of testimony,research, phone calls andmeetings, our bill to reinstatethe pediatric brain tumorlicense plates was signed intolaw. For every plate sold, $35goes to the Childrens GliomaCancer Foundation to provideresearch funding and supportfor kids and families duringtreatment.

It was my honor to presentthe Hogans with their veryown pediatric brain tumorawareness license plate thispast week and to recognizetheir dedication to endingpediatric cancer.

The story of the Hoganfamilys strength and deter-mination is a testament tohow we can make our state abetter place by engaging inthe political process. Whilewe have reason to celebratethis milestone, let us also keepthe Hogans and all familiesbattling cancer in ourthoughts and prayers.

If you would like for me ormy staff to look into an issueimportant to you or your fam-ily, please contact my officeby phone at (614) 466-8082 orby email at [email protected].

A swimmer with shoulderpain is a common sight in thesport. With few exceptions,shoulder pain in a swimmerwill be an overuse injury,meaning it builds over timewith continuous irritationfrom the same repeated mo-tions.

This happens for a fewreasons:

The shoulder is the mostmobile joint in the body.

The mechanics of swim-ming require lots of motion atthe shoulder joint.

With increased motion inthe joint comes less stability ofthat joint.

A swimmer can exceed2,000 strokes for one shoulderin a single workout.

A few simple tricks can go along way to keeping shoulderpain from getting to be aninjury that keeps the swimmerfrom the pool.

The first thing to checkwhen your swimmer comes toyou with shoulder pain is theirposture. The nature of swim-ming workouts gives a swim-mer very developed pectoralmuscles, which they need forstroke efficiency and speed.This can cause those musclesto pull where they attach onthe arm and can give a swim-mer a rounded shoulder ap-pearance, meaning that theshoulders are coming forwardwhen at rest. Posture like thiscan pinch important struc-tures in the shoulder, partic-ularly in the anterior portion,which are already more vul-nerable. It will also affectstructures in the back, whichare being stretched and weak-ened by this posture.

To fix this, have them focuson straightening up as if astring were being pulled fromthe torso through the top of thehead. Roll your shoulders backto an even position on eitherside of your body. No need tothrow them back overly far or

puff your chest out, just keepthem back in line with the restof your body.

In conjunction with thechance in posture, you need tofocus on the scapular stabiliz-ers, the muscles that work inbetween and around the shoul-der blades. These muscles areoften weak and cannot func-tion properly without someattention.

When practicing good pos-ture, you can feel those mus-cles fire up. An exercise calledscap squeezes can work themeven more. While in your goodposture position, pretend youare trying to squeeze a pennybetween your shoulder bladesby squeezing those muscles,leaving your arms by yourside. Hold the squeeze for fiveseconds, then release.

Both of these techniquescan be used throughout theday while your swimmer is atschool. Practicing good pos-ture and scap squeezes canreduce a number of shoulderproblems by introducing prop-er position and body mechan-ics. Pain in the shoulder maybe common in swimming, butthat does not mean they haveto push through it . There aremodifications and optionsavailable to keep them fromdoing making things worse.

At Cincinnati Children'sSports Medicine department,we want to do everything wecan to keep your child in thewater as much as possible.There are resources availablefor you and your swimmer,and we invite you to contact uswith any questions or concernsat 513-803-4878.

KeShawn Foley hadone reception in his four-year football career atBatavia High School.Just one, back freshmanyear.

Well, make that ca-reer total eight afterJune 11 unofficially atleast.

The former Bataviastar caught seven passesfor 149 yards and threetouchdowns to help leadthe East All-Stars to a 40-20 win against the Westin the 40th annual South-western Ohio FootballCoaches Association RonWoyan East-West All-Star football game,Thursday, at Kings HighSchool.

Im just having fun,Foley said. Its an all-star game.

Foley racked up morethan 100 touchdownspassing and rushing in astellar, three-time all-conference career at Ba-tavia as a quarterback.No receiving touch-downs. Thursday night,though, he lined up wideas a receiver more oftenthan not and looked like aseasoned vet.

It was pretty easy,said the 6-foot-3, 225-pound Foley, who addedthat he plans to playquarterback this fall atHocking College. I loveplaying wide receiver.Its like backyard foot-ball.

Milford quarterbackDrew Ashcraft helpedmake it easy. Foley wason the receiving end of a36-yard pass from Ash-craft on the Easts firstpossession, setting up aRyan Wahler (Sycamore)touchdown reception.

Ashcraft found Foleyagain on the next posses-sion deep down the leftside for a 27-yard touch-down pass.

Withrow QB TraVonBarnes threw a 35-yard

TD strike to Foley in thesecond quarter to put theEast up 19-6.

The East passing at-tack was on target allnight with receivers Fo-ley, Wahler, DoryanBeach (Withrow) andReid Finley (WalnutHills) consistently mak-ing great adjustmentswhile the ball was in theair. Wahler totaled 102yards on four catches.

Ashcraft, separatedby 223 days from his Mil-ford squads 2014 season-ending win against Love-land, looked in midsea-son form, completing 8 of14 passes for 183 yardsand the two touchdownsin the first quarter.

Its a good feeling,Ashcraft said. You missit a lot. You dont reallyknow how much you missit until after you strap on

your pads that last time.He finished with 366

passing yards and fivetouchdowns, both newall-star game records.

It means a lot, actual-ly, Ashcraft said. Be-cause Ive been workingmy (butt) off trying to getto this game.

Diving interceptionsby Asa Palmer (Wyo-ming) and Kiowa Whaley(North College Hill)

helped the West defenseslow the East passinggame in the third quar-ter.

Mount Healthy run-ning back Hjavier Pittscashed in the Palmerpick with a 1-yard touch-down run to cut the defi-cit to 19-12, but the Weststars could never get thelead.

Edgewood quarter-back Trace Reynolds

threw touchdown passesto Pitts and Fred Riley(Fairfield) to lead theWest offense.

The East stars out-gained West 458 to 206 intotal yardage. T.J. Beach(Amelia) led the East de-fense with five tackles,two for loss.

The win marked theEasts eighth in the lastnine years. The Eastleads the series 22-18.

Howdy folks, anotherbusy week for me. Italked to the seniors atthe welcome center. I dothis the second Tuesdayof the month. I reallyenjoyed visiting withthem. They seem to behappy when I visit.

Saturday the Kinnerspicked me up early thenwent to the World Har-vest Church in CanalWinchester, Ohio. TheKinners daughter Clairewas inducted into thehonor society. She wasselected to be a memberof the Cardinal CrestMembership. It is basedon being scholarly, lead-ership, service, charac-ter and citizenship.

The young lady is veryactive in her young life.She graduated from theeighth-grade. The otheryoung lady, Grace, grad-uated from high school,Ohio Virtual Academy.There were 400 studentsthat graduated that day.The church where theevent took place held5,000 people. I have nev-er been in a church thatbig, it was beautiful.

After we left theydropped their childrenoff at the 4-H Camp atClarksville. They tookme to meet my daughterand son-in-law to go to a50th wedding celebrationat the Maple Ridge Lodgein Cincinnati. These twofolks, Mort and Barb,have been friends ofRuth Ann and me sincewe attended the 2020program several yearsago. There was a bigcrowd there and the food

was extragood. Theydid somecelebrat-ing of thepast andpresent.The bandplayed andthere wasdancing.We sure

enjoyed the event.On Sunday after

church my daughter Deband son-in-law Bob tookme to Kentucky to meetsome folks and have ameal at the DeShas res-taurant. This restaurantwas several miles aboveMaysville and we had afine meal. After we atewe went back to Mays-ville to visit some of thehomes the fellar and hiswife are rehabbing. I wasvery tired by the time Igot home so Chestercould lay on my lap. Thisday was for me, it wasmy birthday.

I had to stop writing toput more dry food inChesters bowl. When hecan see the bottom, hethinks I should be puttingmore food in his bowl. Heis spoiled, I think.

The whole weekendwas wonderful. I have awonderful family I thankGod for them. When I gotthe Sunday paper therewas an article about ayoung man walkingacross the United States.He was raised in Hawaii.This is a spiritual andemotional journey. Heleft Point Pleasant Beachin New Jersey. He haswalked 600 miles through

Washington, D.C., Mary-land, West Virginia andnow in Ohio. He has 2,400miles to go. He is mostlooking forward to seeingthe Grand Canyon andColorado. I hope andpray he makes it. He hasa cart where he keeps histent and other things.

The Sherrys Pay Lakeon Slade Road last weekhad some visitors fromthe Hyde Park Seniors.Some were in wheel-chairs and caught somefish. Gary said one ladycaught a nice catfish andyou could hear holleringall over the lake. Thatsounded like my motherwhen she caught a fish.There were probably 20people, 10 to 12 and werein wheelchairs. Gary andSherry the owners of thelake welcome the seniorsevery year. This is awonderful thing to do,the seniors have some-thing to look forward to.Thanks Gary and Sherry,God bless you both.
