David A. Lane, a formerbroadcaster and board mem-ber of the Clermont CountyBoard of Elections, will be re-membered for his integrity.

Lane died June16 after a briefillness. He was62.

“The imagethat pops intomy head when Ithink of Dave ishe always had asmile on hisface,” said Ray-

mond Lembke, chairman ofthe executive committee of theClermont County DemocraticParty.

Lane was Lembke’s prede-cessor in the position. Lembkesaid Lane retired as chairmanof the executive committeelast year. However, Lembkesaid if Lane had chosen to runagain, “(there is) no question inmy mind that he would havebeen re-elected.”

“The county has lost some-one who cared deeply aboutthe political process.”

Lane served as chairman ofthe executive committee from2004 to 2014.

Lane was a broadcaster andjournalist in the late 1970s andearly 1980s.

In later years, he was presi-dent of Lane and Co. Commu-nications Inc. and a regionalmanager for the AmericanHome Stay Network.

Lane began his associationwith the Clermont CountyBoard of Elections in 2006.

Lembke said Lane’s highprinciples were evident in hisassociation with the Board ofElections.

This was echoed by Boardof Elections Chairman RickCombs.

“(Lane) worked to insurethat elections in ClermontCounty were were conductedin the highest ethical manner,”he said in a released state-ment. “His presence will bemissed.”

Lane was a resident of Mi-ami Township. He is survivedby his wife, Marilyn, one son,Richard Lane, two daughters,Lauren Lane and Mary Beth

Coughing up money forconcerts at the Union Town-ship Amphitheater recentlystruck a discordant note withsome township trustees.

Now, businesses havestepped up to ensure the hillsof the Clermont County com-munity will continue to bealive with the sound of music– at least for one night.

The Clermont Philharmon-ic Orchestra will performfrom 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Satur-day, Aug. 15, at the amphithe-ater at 4350 Aicholtz Road be-cause the orchestra lined up$2,500 in donations from areabusinesses to help pay for theconcert.

Trustees agreed at a recentUnion Township Board ofTrustees meeting to matchthe donation with townshipfunds.

“We askedfor some helpfrom the corpo-rate communi-ty so the costburden did notrest solely onour residents,”board Chair-man John

McGraw said.“This help has come

through and we will have aconcert in August.”

In January, McGraw andboard Vice Chairman LloydAcres balked at approving$19,500 for about a dozen am-phitheater concerts that theysaid attract just 250 to 400people each.

Union Township officialshave been riding herd onwhat they believe can be cutfrom the budget – no matterhow relatively small – to help

NEW RICHMOND — A leadmusket ball, early 19th centu-ry ceramics, a button from aCivil War uniform and pen-nies from the 1830s are just afew of the finds NorthernKentucky University stu-dents recently unearthed atthe site of the former ParkerAcademy.

For three weeks in May,NKU students from severaldisciplines, including history,geography and anthropology,excavated the 7.5-acre sitejust outside of New Richmondin Clermont County.

In 1839, Daniel Parker andhis wife, Priscilla, foundedthe Clermont Academy nearthe Ohio River. The collegepreparatory academy that’salso known as the ParkerAcademy is thought to be thefirst school in the U.S. whereyoung men and women of allraces, religions and genderswere educated in the sameclassrooms.

“That (NKU) class is over,but we plan to dig at the sitefor the next three years,” saidBrian Hackett, director ofNKU’s masters in public his-tory program that preparesstudents for jobs in museumsand historic sites and makeshistory accessible to the pub-lic. “It’s going to continue to

be a public history and geog-raphy project.”

The National UndergroundRailroad Freedom Center ispartnering with NKU on theParker Academy project.Within two years, Hackettsaid he expects artifacts thathave been found at the sitewill be part of a special exhib-it at the freedom center.

Hackett said those in-volved in the project eventu-ally want to have an outdoormuseum and exercise trail atthe site.

“We’d like to create a his-toric district, or even a nation-al heritage area,” Hackettsaid. “This is something that’sreally important to the area,and it really shaped the na-tion.”

Hackett said the buttonfrom the Civil War uniformmay have been there because28 African-Americans who at-tended Parker Academyserved in the Union Army.

“It’s possible that they

went back to the school to dosome recruiting,” he said.

The 1830 era Lady Libertypennies were as large as pre-sent day quarters and hadholes in them, possibly for useas good luck charms, Hackettsaid.

Other finds included apiece of a writing slate, rem-nants of ceramics popular be-tween 1790 and 1830, pieces ofiron cooking pots and 19thcentury toys, including a claymarble and bone or ivorygame pieces.

Graduate students are stilltrying to locate the privies.

Although the Parker Acad-emy played a key role in theregion’s Civil War era history,communities throughoutsouthwestern Ohio and North-ern Kentucky are home tomany other historic sites, in-cluding Underground Rail-road stops for runawayslaves, said New RichmondAdministrator Greg Roberts,former president of HistoricNew Richmond.

“The intention is for this tobe a long-term project,” Rob-erts said of Parker Academy.“They intend to have addition-al digs because they’ve justscratched the surface of thatparticular site.”

“That would have atethe whole budget up forthe year,” he said. So thisyear, the edges will be re-established. Next year,the township will reeval-uate the project.

This year’s repairswill provide a solid foun-dation for a full-width re-paving of those areas in2016 or beyond, as thepaving budget allows,Township AdministratorTim Hershner said. Anew paving schedule iscreated at the beginningof each year based on aneeds assessment takinginto account the condi-

Township PublicWorks Manager JohnKoehler said the edges ofBradbury Road are fall-ing away. The road workwill involve full repair onthose spots. The badareas will be ground andrefilled with blacktop, hesaid. This will re-estab-lish the edge of the roads.

Koehler said he looked

TrusteeRichardRiebel saidthat JennyLind Laneis a good

example from the 2014repairs.

Resident Dr. Pete Kaysaid repair work is alsoneeded along Locust Cor-ner Road between 1029Locust Corner Road andLegendary Trails Road.Locust Corner Road is acounty road. After a callto the Clermont CountyEngineer’s office, Trus-

tee Bonnie Batchlerlearned that a work orderhas been written for thatstretch of Locust CornerRoad and repairs shouldbe made within the nextweek or two, Hershnersaid.

The township is re-sponsible for nearly 58miles of road and workswith Clermont County onroad improvements andrepairs as a cost-savingmeasure.

“In round numbers,the 2015 road repair bud-get is basically $250,000of which $220,000 wasearmarked for the coun-ty-run paving programand $30,000 is earmarked

for in-house repairs,”Hershner said. “Goodnews is that the county-run paving program re-sulted in a bid price of$210,776.”

The savings will go to-wards the $30,000 in-house road repairs doneby township public worksemployees since the usu-al budget is closer to$20,000, he said. The ad-ditional monies for in-house repairs also pro-vides greater savings be-cause the township’s pub-lic works department cando the work for a lowercost than the townshipcan usually get from con-tractors.

Trustee Matt Beameragreed that the concertsare a perk, but said theyare a relatively inexpen-sive perk that people likeand that promote UnionTownship.

“We have this amphi-theater and my positionis, why don’t we use it?”Beamer said.

The township’s tight-fisted fiscal oversightwas responsible in partfor the $10 million gener-al-fund balance it wasable to accrue by the endof 2014.

A continuing string ofeconomic-developmentsuccesses also hasbuoyed the budget.

What is it aboutvintage recipesthat intriguesme so? I guessit’s about the

history, a time when recipesharing was done by passingwritten or typed recipes byhand, sometimes when folks

gathered togeth-er for a morningcoffee break atsomeone’s home.

I was giftedwith such a won-derful lot ofrecipes fromDonna Wright, aClermont Coun-ty reader whowanted me tohave her Mom’s

and Grandma’s recipes. In-cluded with vintage cookbookswas a wooden box with thehandwritten and typed recipes,often with notes on the recipesby the cook. When I lookedthrough the box, I was sur-prised at the number of cakes,both for breakfast, brunch anddessert. We like a simple cin-namon coffee cake, one thatcan be made with the littleones and mixed by hand.

The recipe I’m sharing to-day from that wooden box isjust such a recipe. It’s calledquick coffee cake but I gave itan additional name. This coffeecake is really easy to make andnot too sweet or gooey. Perfectwith an morning cup of tea!

Quick coffee cake akaNot a fancy coffee cake

How much is a heapingtablespoon? The butter shouldmound up on the spoon. Iadapted the recipe only slight-ly. I made this by hand with awhisk.

1 heaping tablespoon butter1/2 cup sugar

1 egg1/2 cup milk1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla1-1/2 cups all purpose flour2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon saltPreheat oven to 325. Melt butter. Beat egg and

sugar together. Beat in butter.Add milk and vanilla and beathard. Add dry ingredients,which you have mixed togeth-er. (I just whisked them togeth-er). Blend but don’t over beat.Pour into greased and flouredpan. (I used spray).

Then mix together:3 tablespoons sugar1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamonThe recipe said to sprinkle

this on top which I did. Nexttime I’ll swirl it into the batterso that if I would choose toglaze it, the glaze won’t pull thetopping up.

Bake 30 minutes or so justuntil toothpick inserted incenter comes out clean. Don’tover bake or cake will be dry.

Glaze (opt)I just made a confectioners

sugar glaze with a cup of con-fectioners sugar and enoughwater to make a glaze. Startwith 3 tablespoons water.

Refrigerator or freezerpickles

No, I didn’t make a mistakein the title. These pickles do goin the freezer and yes, they areamazingly crisp after thawing.My sister, Sonia, loves hergarden and each year makesthese awesome pickles. ForJudy N., who wanted the recipeand also wanted to know if shecould add some fresh dill sinceher dill will be ready when herpickling cucumbers are. Theanswer is yes. I think it wouldgive the pickles another ele-ment of flavor and, after all,

dill is one of the ingredients inpickling spice.

4 cups thinly sliced cucum-bers, unpeeled

1 medium onion, sliced thin2 tablespoons saltUp to 1-1/2 cups sugar - I use

less but just go to taste1/2 cup vinegar1-1/2 teaspoons pickling

spice1 red bell pepper, diced (opt)1 clove garlic, smashed (opt)Arrange cucumbers and

onions in large bowl. Sprinklewith salt and mix. Pour enoughwater over to just cover them.Stir again. Soak at room tem-perature for 2 hours. Drain,but don’t rinse. Meanwhile,mix sugar, vinegar and pick-ling spice in small saucepan.Bring to a simmer and cookuntil sugar dissolves. Let coolwhile pickles are soaking.After pickles have beendrained, add bell pepper, thenpour pickling brine over them.

Mix. Put into containers. Letmarinate overnight in refriger-ator before eating. Keeps atleast three weeks in frig, or upto six months in freezer.

“Very glad to see this placecloset finally. Always pretty up-setting to get home from IGAand realize the food you boughtis all expired or find an older ex-piration sticker underneath an-other after the dates beenchanged.”

The Bethel IGA, the Clermont County village’s only full service grocery, hasclosed.

June 17 questionWhat is your favorite summer

vacation story (something thatyou personally experienced)?

“One of my favorite summervacations was spent working tohelp poor people back in the hol-lers of Appalachia workingvery hard and sweating my be-hind off with a group of youthand adults from our church. Itwas dusty, dirty, hot, sticky,buggy, spidery, yucky and hardwork but it was one of the morerewarding times of my life see-ing a bunch of kids (including acouple of girly girls) never com-plain doing it, and more impor-tantly seeing the sheer grati-tude from the home owners forwhat we had done for them. Itwas life lifting.”

M.J.F.

“Many years ago my employ-er needed me to assist a client in

Florida. As I could fly or drive, Idrove and took my family.Needless to say this provided a‘free’ vacation for us. As luckwould have it I was not that busyworking most days and couldalso enjoy the stay. Vacationsare great, but free vacations areeven better. Go Figure!”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONIf you could show visitors toCincinnati for the All Star Gameone location that best repre-sents the area, what would it beand why?

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

In the summer of 1988, myhusband, Hank Hannig, begana wonderful tradition that end-ed June 6, 2015.

That day in 1988, we (plus ofcourse his parents) took ourfirst grandson for his first

haircut to myhusband’sbarber, TerryOwens, whowas at CherryGrove Barbersat the time. Myhusband insist-ed on payingfor his haircutand thus, thetradition wasborn.

Not only did my husbanddecide to pay for his first hair-cut, he decided to pay for allhis haircuts until he turned 18and graduated from highschool. As the years went on,we were blessed with fourmore grandsons and they toowere included in this wonder-ful bonding experience. Two

traveled from the West ChesterTownship area and two trav-eled from the Dayton area. Wealso have two granddaughterswho have had their hair cut byTerry on occasion.

This first haircut was, ofcourse, videotaped, as were allsubsequent first haircuts. Atone point in time, we made aDVD for Terry of all the firsthaircuts. Another time we gavehim a picture collage of eachone getting their first haircut.

Terry now owns VisionsHair Design in Withamsvilleand my husband will continueto go to him. Terry made somany wonderful memories forour grandsons. So I emailed thefollowing message to all fivegrandsons:

“Dear Zak, Joe, Wes, Danieland Will,

“Now that Will is almost outof high school, the era ofGrandpa taking you boys up toTerry’s for haircuts is over. Iwould like to do somethingspecial for Terry (and you

guys) and loosely, here is whatI had in mind.

“1. I would like it to be asurprise

“2. I would like each of youto get your hair cut one moretime by Terry (or, just come byto join the fun – the choice isyours).

“3. I would like to get him acake that says ‘Thanks Terry.’

“4. I would like the parentsin attendance too if they wouldlike to be there.

They all responded veryenthusiastically. So with thehelp of Liz, who works at Vi-sions, we scheduled fake-name

appointments starting at 2p.m., which would be after hislunch time June 6. Everyonegathered at our home and wedrove to Visions around 1:45p.m. Terry was in the backroom so he didn’t see us comein.

Once our cameras wereready and the cake set up, oneof the girls went back to getTerry. He was so appreciativethat all the boys (actually mennow) were there. The cake wascut and Terry started the hair-cuts. The ladies of the familyleft so the boys could havetheir bonding experience onemore time. In addition, Sonya,who still works at Collagewhere Terry had worked manyyears, came over to say hi tothe boys.

Terry will always be part oftheir childhoods. Thanks formaking such wonderful memo-ries for our family, Terry!

“Let’s cut all of those pub-lic school positions that areunneeded,” is an unqualifiedrequest by some members ofthe public.

They believe such actionwill save districts lots ofmoney as well as lower thetax bills for a district’s resi-dents.

To some residents this ideamight have some superficialcost reduction merit, yet itfails to confront the thoughtof eliminating all the respon-sibilities connected withthose positions that are axed.

Once the Ohio state boardof education repeals the fiveof eight rule standard,schools will no longer berequired to provide a schoolnurse for every one thousandstudents. Although the sav-ings are minimal consideringthe full scope of an annualbudget, some boards of edu-cation will choose to directthose funds for other priori-ties at the expense of neglect-ing the health services only aschool nurse can deliver.

All elementary schoolsmust have some kind of carefacility for the students theyserve.

Working as the school’sprimary health care provider,the nurse is responsible formaking sure this facility hasall the minimal medicalequipment, furniture, andemergency supplies neededby the school’s students.

When children become illor injured at school, theyneed a care giver for medicalattention emotional support.More often than not that per-son is the school nurse. Dur-ing the course of a single day,the nurse might see everycontagious disease spreadingthrough the school in additionto the normal traffic of chil-

dren withcuts, bruises,and moreserious in-juries.

In short theschool’shealth centeris its minia-ture emergen-cy room.

A majorrole of a school nurse in-volves the organization anddispensation of medications.In a typical elementaryschool with a student pop-ulation of five hundred stu-dents at least 15 percent, or75 children, will need to takemedication each day. By lawthe meds must be stored in asecure facility and adminis-tered by a designated staffmember.

Each school year nursessearch students’ records toidentify health issues andcompliance with state immu-nization laws. They collab-orate with classroom teach-ers to make sure studentswith on going health prob-lems receive the daily careand treatment their conditionmay demand. In some casesthis involves periodic in-jections as well as providingspecial physical accommoda-tions within the classroom.

Kindergarten and pre-school health screenings aretime consuming responsibil-ities them nurse conducts atthe beginning of each schoolyear. On going vision, dental,scoliosis and hearing screen-ings for children take placethroughout the school year.Information from the screen-ings are used to compile an-nual changes in studentsphysical growth and to makereferrals for follow-up care.

With first hand knowledge

of student’s physical growthand health needs over anextended period of time, theschool nurse contributesvaluable information andinsight to intervention assis-tance and crisis responseteams.

Terminating the positionof a school nurse does noterase the responsibilities aschool nurse fulfills. Eitherthose duties become an un-met void or other staff mem-bers must assume them. Sad-ly, innocent students will bearthe consequences of thesepotential penny savings ac-tions by some of Ohio’sboards of education.

NEW RICHMOND — With BradHatfield stepping aside to spendtime with his young family, NewRichmond High School was inneed of a new girls basketballcoach this spring.

As the busy month of June be-gan, athletic director DougFoote got the Lady Lions in orderwith the hiring of Tom WessnerJune 9.

The veteran coach will in thesocial studies department andwill be drawing up plays to con-tinue New Richmond’s winningways in the Southern BuckeyeConference-American Division.

Wessner grew up in Ander-son Township and played in highschool at Summit Country Day.

He currently lives in Sardiniaand has coached 16 years of highschool boys basketball and oneyear in junior high. He was withMariemont and Turpin’s juniorvarsity teams and then coachedeighth grade at White Oak for ayear, JV for six and varsity forfive years.

“I’ve called a lot of people,”Wessner said of the transitionfrom coaching boys to girls.“I’ve talked about some of thedifferences and some of thethings I need to pay attention to.It’s just like teaching boys andgirls. You don’t do it too muchdifferently. It might comeacross differently, but the infor-mation of basketball is prettymuch the same.”

Wessner knows the leaguefrom the boys schedule he has

kept at White Oak and has beenschooled on his current rosterby his predecessor, Hatfield.

“There’s going to be a lot ofseniors coming back,” Wessner

said. “They were a 15-win teamand I was pleasantly surprisedat open gym.”

The Lady Lions are slated toreturn first-teamers MarenHance and Ashley Gray as sen-iors, along with second-team se-lections Jade Kunz and AnnaHamilton. Kunz will be a seniorand Hamilton a junior. NewRichmond was second in theleague behind Western Brown at7-3.

Hance is the top returningscorer at 13.6 per game. Comingoff the spring track season, shewas one of the Lady Lions on dis-play for the new coach on his in-troductory night.

“She likes to play both ends ofthe floor,” Wessner said. “Some-times your leading scorerdoesn’t necessarily like to play a

lot of defense. She rebound theball really well on both ends andplays hard.”

New Richmond still made atournament run last season evenwithout 6-foot-5 center JosieBuckingham who is now at Min-nesota.

“From what I understand,there’s no 6-5 girls coming any-time soon,” Wessner joked. “I’mnot used to having kids that tall,so it shouldn’t be too much of aproblem.”

The new coach now diveshead first into a busy month oforganizing open gyms andscrimmages and is already look-ing ahead to his second season.

“Next year, we’ll be a lot moreorganized as a lot of this stuff(scheduling) gets done in April,”Wessner said.

WESTERN HILLS — This sum-mer, the Cincinnati Steam arecelebrating 10 years of amateursummer college baseball atMax McLeary Field on Fergu-son Avenue.

To celebrate, the Steam willdo as they’ve always done: lace‘em up and play.

This season, they’ll do thatunder first-time manager PatHyde, a former catcher atNorthern Kentucky Universityoriginally from Chicago. Hydewas a Steam assistant prior toearning the head gig.

Hyde’s a common commodi-ty for the Steam, who employmany aspiring for careers inbaseball.

“I want to put them in thebest position for them to be suc-cessful. I want these guys tocome in for the summer and bythe time they leave I want themto go back to their school betterthan when they left,” Hydesaid. “I want them to grow andmature as people and also asbaseball players.”

The Steam compete in theGreat Lakes Summer Colle-giate League, one of the pre-mier summer baseball leaguesin the country (arguably sec-ond only to Cape Cod), a woodenbat league comprised of play-

ers with remaining college eli-gibility. Roughly 17 locals playon the Steam this year, as wellas guys from Michigan, Indi-ana, Illinois, Kentucky andSouth Carolina.

After 11 games, the Steamare off to a 4-6-1 start. At theplate, the Steam have been ledby Jake Richmond (Universityof Cincinnati), who’s hitting.444, and Trey Ganns (NorthernKentucky), who’s hitting .351with eight RBI. Max Foley (Ev-ansville) has been hot with a.341 average, 14 hits and eightRBI.

On the mound, Hunter Dunn(Eastern Kentucky) has a 4.23ERA and a team-high 17 inningswith 23 strikeouts. Nick Beard(Northern Kentucky) has a 3.60ERA and nine strikeouts in 10innings.

“We have a very talentedteam. We’re very young,” saidHyde. “Getting guys into theright spot in the right situation.You learn how to pick theirbrain … you want to see whattheir thought process is andtheir baseball instinct.”

According to Brady Laber,Steam director of baseball op-erations, the Steam has had 32players drafted by MajorLeague teams. Most notably,Adam Eaton with the ChicagoWhite Sox and Pittsburgh Pi-rates All-Star third baseman

Josh Harrison. “What I like doing is seeing

guys come in day one whetherit’s summer ball or college, justseeing them develop into betterplayers and people,” Hyde said.“They may struggle one day,but the best thing about base-ball is you’re gonna get to playthe next day. It’s nice seeingguys grow from mistakes andget better.”

Coming up at Max McLearyField, the Steam host GrandLake Friday, June 26, on ALSnight and on Thursday, July 2,the Hamilton Joe’s come totown on fireworks night.

Howdy folks, Thegardening season is herebig time!

The Grants Green-house on state Route 131have vine ripened toma-toes and green ones. Tonytold me they are pickinglots of tomatoes and folksare buying green ones tofry. Fried green tomatoesare good!

The Grants planted 100tomato plants a fewmonths ago and they aresure producing. There isnothing like a ripe ‘materpulled off the vine. Mydaughter Debby will pullthe first ripe tomato herein my tomato patch. I setthem out April 1. By usingthe walls of water youcan set them out by April.The walls of water willprotect them when it getsto 20 degrees we haveseen this. Next year get athree-pack of walls ofwater and have the firstripe mater in your neigh-borhood, it works.

In the raised bedwhere I raised potatoeslast year, I set tomatoesout. In cleaning the weedsout I saw a potato plantcoming up. It came froma potato I missed when Idug them last fall. Myfriend Harry that diedwhen he was 101 years oldtold me he planted someof his potatoes in Novem-ber and dug them early inthe year. They will winterover in the cold ground. Ifyou don’t think the pota-toes will grow leavingthem in the ground and itfrozen. Just look whereyou grew your potatoesand see the ones youmissed.

Since I had my hernia

operation, Icould notdo anyheavywork. Nowthat thedoctorsreleasedme, I havecleanedseven trac-tor tires

and five raised beds. Ihave two more to clean aswell as the asparagusbeds. One is 75 feet long,the other is 40 feet long.My family and friendswill have asparagus toeat.

I started picking blackraspberries yesterday. Igot a pint. That is goodfor the first picking. I likethe black raspberries,they are so good. RuthAnn would make a piefrom these berries. Thatgal could cook and bakereal good. The blackberrycake and lots of otherthings she baked or thegreen fried maters shefixed were great.

I was talking to Mikeat the Afton bait shop thismorning. He said hisgrandma, bless her heart,just recently celebrated95 years. That is great.Mike spoils her and thatis good. He said he wentand bought her supper.She said you are aboutthe only one that calledme and said happy birth-day. Mike had a surprisefor her. About 40 peoplecame to help her cele-brate her special day.Happy Birthday Grand-ma from the Ole Fisher-man and family. Godbless you!

She likes a certain kind

of cake so Mike went tothe Amish store in AdamsCounty and got this cake.Now Grandma didn’tseem like she wanted toshare, but Mike said wecan go and get more, soshe said OK. If you haveyour parents or grandpar-ents cherish them. Oneday they will not be withyou. I have my children

and grandchildren. Do asmuch as you can withthem and love them.

Now on something thatis not as important asGrandma is. The crappiefishing tournament, thelast five are as follows:June 28, July 26, Aug. 16,Aug. 30, and the last oneis Sept. 27. There is some-thing new for this year. If

you fish in four of the lastfive fishing tournamentsyou can get in the finalcontest. The championfish-off is Oct. 3 and 4.This is for the crappietournaments held allsummer. Mike said theyare catching crappie thatstill have eggs in them.Good fishing to all!

Start your week by

going to the house ofworship of your choiceand praising the goodLord.

God bless all ...Morelater.
