CLERMONT COUNTY — Vot- ers may be asked to renew a levy for the Clermont County Board of Developmental Dis- abilities in November. The county commission- ers July 24 voted to certify a five-year, .75-mill levy re- newal for CCDD. The levy was last renewed in 2008. It expires at the end of 2013. The levy generates about $3 million of the board’s $16.5 million annual revenues, said David Sininger, director of CCDD business operations. “They (the board) operate bare bones,” said county Commissioner Bob Proud. The board’s efficiencies show they are fiscally re- sponsible, he said. “If we do not pass this levy, we would have to re- duce services,” said CCDD Superintendent Sharon Woodrow. The board serves people of all ages, providing day program and child care ser- vices, she said. Other ser- vices include speech and physical ther- apy along with therapeutic treatment. Residential and behavior- al support is available to help people with disabili- ties live and work in the area. “These (levy) funds are important because most ser- vices for developmental dis- abilities cost a lot of money,” Woodrow said.

This is the 30th yearsince the first NationalNight Out. The event,which began in1984, is co-ordinated across thecountry by the NationalAssociation of TownWatch. It is intended tobuild relationships be-tween police and resi-dents.

“I think it strengthensneighborhood spirit andpolice-community part-nerships,” said PierceTownship Police Lt. Ed-ward Dye.

By interacting withresidents informally, po-lice hope to encouragepeople to call the depart-ment to report criminalactivity, he said.

“(The purpose) is forpolice and the communityto continue a partnershipto reduce crime,” saidChief Jeff Bachman.

A parade featuringchildren on decorated bi-cycles will kick off theevent, he said.

Emergency vehicles

“We need to engage

people with disabilitiesjust like everyone else inthe county,” said Com-missioner Ed Humphrey.

Because the levy is arenewal, it would not in-

crease taxes, he said.The commissioners

are expected to voteWednesday, July 31, toplace the issue on the bal-lot, Proud said.

Ohio Governor JohnKasich used a visit to Mi-lacron’s Batavia facilityJuly 18 to highlight eco-nomic growth throughoutOhio in his speech tomembers of area cham-bersofcommerce.Kasichrecognized Milacron as asuccessfulmodel for theirprogram working withthe UC-Clermont Collegeto prepare students to en-ter the workplace.

“I want to complimentMilacron for that pro-gram they have nowworking with the Univer-sity of Cincinnati,” hesaid.

Milacron’s vice presi-dent, marketing for Glob-al PlasticsMachinery,Mi-chael Prachar spoke ofthe recovery Milacronhas made putting hun-dreds of employees backto work. He talked aboutthe importance of skilledlabor and the success ofdeveloping a training pro-gram with UC-ClermontCollege. They plan to con-tinue the program thathas seen about 20 peoplegraduate and go on to em-ployment with Milacron.

“It’s really an honor tobe recognized for our on-going efforts,” Pracharsaid. “As we continue togrow our business, wehope that our customers,as well as our employeesand our community, areexcited to be a part of thenext chapter of our suc-cessful manufacturingstory.”

Kasich called for theuse of common sense byregulators as he spokeabout the recent tax cutspassed to help small busi-ness owners. Additional-ly, he mentioned the stateincome tax cut from 5.9percent to5.3percent thatwill benefit everyone inOhio. He told everyone inattendance to contact thegovernor’s office if theysee regulators not usingcommon sense.

“Wewant to make sureweuse commonsense, be-

cause if you stomp out asmall business, you’restomping out some fam-ily’s hopes and dreams,”Kasich said.

Members of the areachambers of commercealso heard about $1billionthe state gives back tobusinesses all acrossOhioin a cash rebate from theworkers compensationprogram.They applaudedas Kasich called it “thebest stimulus program”he ever heard of any-where. He said it resultedfrom better efficiencyand a better job of invest-ing by fund managers.

“As a result, we send abillion dollars back tofolks here,” said Kasich.“I like to think it lendscredibility to governmentwhen you make some-thing more efficient, youcan give somethingback.”

Lowering income tax,more efficient regulationof government programs,cash rebate economicstimulus,businessgrowthand job growth are alltools for Kasich to pro-mote Ohio all across thecountry.Kasich said a rat-ing by CEOs across the

country ranked Ohio 44thmost business friendly ofthe 50 states two yearsago.

“That’s like a D-minusor an E, isn’t it,” askedKasich. “I say you have towork really hard to makeOhio that unattractive.”

Since then, Ohio hasgone from 44th to 22ndmost business friendly;moving up 13 places injust the last year. Facedwith an $8-billion holewhen he took office, theKasich administrationhas turned the largestbudgetdeficit in thehisto-ry of the state into a cur-rent $1.5-billion surplus.That gives CyndyWright,commercial banking offi-cer, Park National Bank,

renewed confidence inthe state’s commitment tosmall businesses throughtax cuts.

“I think it is admirablework by this administra-tion to have moved Ohiofrom 44th among busi-ness friendly ratings to22nd in just two years asreported by the surveyconducted by the “ChiefExecutive” magazine,”shesaid. “Betweenthe ini-tiatives for jobs, tax cutsand education, I thinkthere isapositivemomen-tum and reasons to be op-timistic about Ohio’s fu-ture.”

Wright was not theonly one expressing opti-mism. State Senator JoeUecker works directlywith Governor Kasichandtheotherstate legisla-tors. He summed up themessage Kasich deliv-ered.

“It’s all about jobs,”Uecker said. “Everythinghe does, everything wework for together in Co-lumbus is about makingjobs available for Ohio’s

citizens. He is alwayspushing us, the legisla-tors, always pushing thebusinesses, to get togeth-er to make it work. He isseeing the successes.”

Kasich also highlight-ed plans for improved in-frastructure throughoutthe state; including Cin-cinnati roads and bridges.Thoseplans include fundsmade available throughbonds that will be retiredby tolls from the OhioTurnpike. The crowd ap-plauded several times ashedelivered optimismforOhio businesses, andOhioans.

“We’re still here, we’restill strong, we’re hiringpeople,” said Mark Van-zant, director manufac-turing and engineering atMilacron. “The kinds ofthings he was saying areimportant to us. We wantOhio to be strong becausethat makes us strong,makes our employmentstable. The employees ap-preciate that he recogniz-es we’re important to thestate.”

Cross country inClermont Countyunder way

It’s time for local runners to“gothedistance” incrosscoun-trywith the firstmeets comingup later in August. The follow-ing is apreview forhigh schooltrail trotters in theCommunityJournal Clermont coveragearea.

Amelia’s girls were third inthe Southern Buckeye Confer-ence-American Division be-hind Georgetown and NewRichmond in 2012.

Returning for theLadyBar-ons are seniors Madison Terryand Ashley Taylor. Terry wasSBC-American first team lastfall, with Taylor taking secondteam honors.

Terry was second at theleague meet in Felicity with atime of 20:07.85, while Taylortook 10th in 22:13.54.

Amelia’s boys finished sixthin the league in 2012. The Bar-ons top runner was Brent Lea-manwhowas26th in the leagueat 20:24.04. Duke Thomas was28th in 20:40.33. Leaman willbea junior this fall andThomasa sophomore.

Batavia High School fea-tures the tale of two teams.Coach Dona Braswell has aboys squadcomingoff aSouth-ern Buckeye Athletic Confer-ence runner-up finish and itsthird consecutive appearancein the regionalmeet and a girlsteam that’s neverbeen that far.

“We graduated one boy lastyear,” Braswell said. “Lookingat what we have coming back,my goal is that we win theleague and make it back to theregional at least.”

Twin seniors Hunter andGriffin Stith pace the pack,alongwith juniorRyanCooper.Also returning are senior Aus-tin Sammons, junior MattMackey and sophomore An-drew Truske.

“They have experience andpreparation,” Braswell said.“They love running together inthe summer. They love run-ning, period. The guys getcaught up in the vision of run-ning and the competition of it.”

On the girls side, Bataviafinished second-last in the 2012SBAC race, but found an indi-vidual star in the making.Sophomore Hannah Warnerreturnsafterwinningadistricttitle in 19:33 as a freshman.Braswell said she could seeWarner dropping into the18:50s.

“She’s better now and shethe experience,” Braswellsaid. “I think by watching hersuccess, the other girls haveseen they can get there, too.They’re saying, ‘Let’s take thenext step up.’”

Sophomore Taylor Albright“caught the bug and wants topush Hannah,” Braswell said.Junior Lindsay Shepherd re-turns and lends depth and ex-perience. Look for some addi-tional freshmen and sopho-mores to compete for a spot inthe top seven.

The Bulldogs open the sea-son with a dual meet againstFelicityAug.21andparticipatein the Wilmington InvitationalAug. 24

Glen Este’s boys and girls

Incoming senior JamieThomas placed seventh at theECC meet last October with a19:58.10 time for Glen Este’sgirls.

“Her goal is to move on oneround from districts to region-als,” coach Angie Carson said.

“She should be close.”Juniors Demi Renfro and

Mary Carson are also sched-uled to run for the Lady Tro-jans.

Both squads answer thestarter’spistol onAug.24at theMilford Invitational.

McNicholas girls fin-ished third in the GirlsGreater CincinnatiLeague in 2012 behindChaminade Julienne andKettering Alter.

Coach Willy Corbetthas a touring bag full ofexperienced players re-turning – no less than sixseniors - to push theleague favorites againthis season.

Seniors Riley White-house, Ellie Tierney, Sa-rah Wilkinson, MarySchmidt and MaggieDanker (who carded ahole-in-one last season)were key cogs last sea-son. Classmate Sarah

Hickman, though, couldbe the best of the lot evenafter missing last seasonbattling cancer.

“She’s a pretty amaz-ing kid,” Corbett said.“She was one of the top10Division II players in thecity before she got sick.We’re really happy tohave her back.”

Junior Michelle Rowe-kamp is another Rocketveteran. New players in-clude juniors ReaganPowers, sophomore Ma-ria Ciampone and fresh-man Alexandra Wells.

“We’ve got a good mixof players and they’re agreatgroupofgirls,”Cor-bett said. “I really regardit something special thatall the girls across theDi-vision II teams in the city,there’s a good competi-

tive spirit – they definite-ly want to win – butthere’sarespectandcam-araderieyoudon’t see in alot of other sports.”

McNick opens he sea-son Aug. 6 at SharonWoods against CincinnatiHills Christian Academyand has plays its firstGGCLmatch thenext dayagainst Middletown Fen-wick at Weatherwax, fol-lowed by the Division IIInvitational Aug. 8 atFairfield Greens.

New Richmond wonthe Southern BuckeyeAthletic Conference eachof the last two seasons.Despite graduating fiveseniors from his 2012championship team, headcoach Phil Heflin be-lieves the Lions canachieve the three-peat.

“I would have to say,without blowing our ownhorn, we are the team tobeat in the conference,”he said. “The caliber ofthe kids I have comingback is excellent. Ameliais going to be good, andWestern Brown and may-be Goshen, but I like ourchances.”

Part of the optimismcenters on a pair of re-turning first-team all-league performers in ju-niors Chris Mazzaro andBryce Kroger. JoiningthemareclassmatesKyleHidlage, who was secondteam all-SBAC last sea-son, and Damon Abner.

TheLions fired a 312 inthe Division I sectionaltournament at Glenviewlast fall, which put themin seventh place. This

year, New Richmonddrops back to Division II,where that score wouldhave won the event by 16strokes.

“We’re trying tobuildafirst-class program,” He-flin said. “We’ve beenlucky to have some verygood players over theyears and this year we’relooking forward to com-peting against someteams more our size andgetting them some post-season success.”

Williamsburg camewithin a few strokes ofwinning the SBC tourna-ment last season, despiteplaying much of the yearwithonly fourgolfers andonly occasionally havinga fifth to round out thesquad.

Three of those players

graduated, though, and itlooks like the golf team isonhiatus for theWildcats.

“It’s very disappoint-ing,” said head coach By-ron Jody. “For severalreasons - the main one ofwhich was we didn’t haveenough people - we decid-ed not to field a team.”

Which is not to sayWil-liamsburg won’t havegolf. Sophomore JoshWells returns and willcompete as an individual.There’s a chance seniorChrisHancewill joinhim.

“He can play in any ofthe league invitationalsand of course when itcomes to thesectional, it’san individual sport, so hecan compete there,” Jodysaid. “He’s going to be avery good golfer.”

“This might be one ofthe best young teamswe’ve had in eightyears,” Jepson said. “Forthe boys, our goal is tosimply improve. Lastyearwasa toughyear forus, graduating six of ourseven varsity runners,and we’ve been rebuild-ing through youth.

“Connor Nelson has agreat shot to qualify tothe regional meet, andthe teamwill try to placein the top half of theleague and districtmeets.”

Speaking of theleague, both the boys andgirls face more competi-tion as the GreaterCatholic League andGirls Greater CatholicLeague North and Cen-tral divisions merge andnow includeDayton-area

schools Alter, Chami-nade Julienne, FenwickandCarroll, inaddition totraditional rivals Badin,Purcell Marian and Rog-er Bacon.

On the girls side,McNick is the multiple-time defending leaguechampion. And while theRockets’ GGCL divisionexpands to include Day-ton-area power Ketter-ing Alter, Jepson stilllooks forward to a strongyear.

“We have an excitingseason ahead of us,” hesaid. “Our girls didn’tgraduate anyone fromlast year’s team and wereturn a strong squad.

“Last yearwas a bit ofa disappointment for usbecause we were prettygood, but failed to returnto theregionalmeet.Thisyear,we’ve added quite abit of depth to an alreadystrong team.”

Leading the way willbe senior Catherine Ad-

ams, who won the GGCLlast year and placedfourth in the districtmeet. Senior Katie Cor-nell was league runner-up last season, whileclassmates MargaretBeck, Megan Schaefer,Claire Griffiths, AshleyDundon and Raven Yorkadd depth and experi-ence.

Keep an eye on re-turning junior Alana Os-terday and newcomerslikejuniorGraceWester-kampandfreshmanJonaRidgwaytocontributeonthe varsity level as well.

“Our goal for the girlsis to win league, qualifyfor the regionalmeet andplace in the top eight atthe regional meet,” Jep-son said.

McNick officiallyopens its season Aug. 24in theMilford Invitation-al. Unofficially the sea-son begins with an Aug.17 time trial at SummitCountry Day School.

A publication of

Dream on - part threeI appreciated Mr. Conov-

er’s response to my letterpublished July 17 (“DreamOn”). He actually answeredhis own question about whywages of the working classhave been “shrinking eversince Reagan.” That’s be-cause Ronald Reagan was thelast president to embracethree basic principles: Small-er government. Lower taxes.Personal responsibility.(Sound familiar?)

Thank you for your mili-tary service, Tim. I also am apatriot who served in theArmy(Korea).But Idonotbe-long to theNRA, never joineda union, and do not belong to“a political party run by reli-gious extremists and theNRA.” That’s because I don’tbelong to any political partyand have no use for organizedreligion. Both are compro-mised by inherently flawedhuman beings.

If you and I sat down andtalked, Ibetwe’dfindwehavemore in common than not.This is true for many peoplewithdifferingpoliticalphilos-ophies. The fly in the oint-ment is not ideologies but pol-itics, the world’s second old-est profession - closely relat-ed to the first.

I’m in the book, Tim. Lookme up. We’ll have a cup of teatogether.

Should be betterMilford schools are great

but should be much better. Adeepdive into thereadingandmath proficiencies of thirdand fourth graders indicatesthey lag many surroundingdistricts. Reason? Bench-marks for K-4 are too low,which manifests into lowerACT/SAT scores down theroad.

I believe three things areholding Milford back: 1)benchmarks/goals are too low2) class sizes are too large 3)culture of high achievementis sorely needed. We shouldexpect more from our stu-dents, parents and of courseour schools. I have chosen torun for a BOE seat on Nov. 5.

LETTERS TO THEEDITOR

Have you ever heard of orbeen to the CTRHHorse Showheld in August in Milford?CTRH stands for CincinnatiTherapeutic Riding and Horse-manship. It is a nonprofit or-ganization whose sole purposeis to provide recreational andtherapeutic horsemanshipactivities for children andadults with disabilities. Ridershave disabilities such as au-tism, cerebral palsy, Downsyndrome, developmentaldelay and many, many others.

It was my privilege to at-tend last year’s “RichardThomas Annual Horse Show”on a bright, August Saturday.My friend from high schoolhas been a volunteer at CTRHstables for several years. Inthat capacity she has assistedchildren with spine injuries,adults with behavioral anxi-eties and a multitude of otherswith various physical and cog-nitive disabilities. Many of the

riders sheassists cannotstand or walkindependently,yet, on a horseassisted bytrained in-structors andvolunteersthese peopleare given inde-pendence anda freedom

beyond the restrictions of theirwheelchairs and braces.

Last year I attended thishorse show not quite knowingwhat to expect. Would there beribbons? Would there be races?Would mint juleps be servedand ladies wearing flamboyanthats meet me at the gate as inthe manner of our own Ken-tucky Derbies? No such fan-fare was presented at thishorse show. Instead I saw somuch more and I was humbled.

CTRH riders both young

and old compete in a series ofshow classes held at severalscheduled intervals. OnlyCTRH riders participate. Theriders show what they’velearned in their CTRHAdap-tive Recreational Riding class-es and circle the track assistedby volunteers who lead thehorses and walk on either sideof the rider. Spectators areasked for complete silence inorder to keep the horses calmand minimize any undue noiseor distraction.

If you haven’t had the chal-lenge of living with a personwith “different abilities” youmay never know the chal-lenges and joys faced by theindividuals and their familieson a daily basis. Going to theRichard Thomas Annual HorseShow gave me that view for afew brief hours and I wasamazed. All day as I lookedaround at all of the peoplethere, I felt a sense of good-

ness. I felt like I was witness-ing the very best that we aspeople have to share with oth-ers. The look of accomplish-ment, pride, independence andjoy in the eyes of the horseriders and their family andfriends was gratifying.

I am not associated with theCincinnati Therapeutic Ridingand Horsemanship Associationin any manner other than beinga guest of a friend who volun-teers there. It was my honor toattend the horse show and Iwould like to invite you to dothe same. This year it will beheld on Saturday, Aug. 3. TheCTRH stables are located at1342 U.S. 50, Milford/MiamiTownship. Call 831-7050 forinformation.

Since the CTRHmemberscome from all over the Tristatearea - I invite all to attend. Youwon’t regret it.

Horse show: Humanity at its finest

Jan StetterWeisCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Concerts, re-enactments, aroad race - are these appropri-ate ways to observe the 150thanniversary of Morgan’s Raid?Should Ohio have spent$312,000 tax dollars for signsto create the Morgan HeritageTrail? Is it appropriate to cele-brate/commemorate an eventthat terrorized Ohioans, killedeight civilians and cost thestate nearly $1million? Thesequestions are being asked byOhioans.

The raid was certainly apart of Ohio’s Civil War expe-rience. But does it warrant allof this attention? Ohio wascritically important to theUnion war effort. There were360,000 men who served; 150-plus received the Medal ofHonor; there were 100 Ohiogenerals, among them Grant,Sherman and Sheridan - theUnion’s best. Our farms andfactories poured out an end-less flood of essential prod-ucts. Ohioans Edwin Stanton(Secretary of War) and Salmon

Chase (Secre-tary of Trea-sury) servedat importantposts in Abra-ham Lincoln’scabinet.

The presi-dent even saidhe would rath-er lose a majorbattle than

lose the governorship of Ohioin 1863. Shouldn’t we be cele-brating Ohio’s pivotal role insaving the Union rather thangetting caught up in the hoop-la of what was ultimately afailure?

I wondered how Georgiawas going to portray Sher-man’s March to the Sea.Though similar superficially,the “raids” differed greatly inscope, purpose and effect.Sherman’s March was a sanc-tioned, 60,000-man, 300-mile-long, 60-mile-wide operationdesigned to damage the Con-federacy’s war-making ability

and destroy its will to fight. Itaccomplished its objective bycausing $100,000,000 in dam-age ($1.4 billion in 2010 dol-lars). By making Georgiahowl, Sherman shortened thewar.

Georgia Historical SocietyCEO Todd Groce told me thestate will be installing twomarkers - one at each end -that will put the March intoperspective by telling readersthe March’s purpose was toshorten the war and civilianproperty damage was unin-tentional.

He said this was part of alarger effort to introduce amodern scholarship to a topiclong obscured by the myths ofthe Lost Cause. One of thosecherished myths was thatGeorgia seceded from theUnion because of State’sRights. By quoting the actualwords of the state’s SecessionDeclaration on a new marker,Georgians now know the rea-son was to preserve slavery.

Other unknown stories such aswomen’s food riots, GeorgiaUnionists and captured col-ored troops being re-enslavedare told on new markers.

Georgia is wedding thisnew perspective with newtechnology. All of the state’snearly1,000 road markers arebeing loaded onto a searchabledigital database (wwww.geor-giahistory.com), complete withmapping that will allow trav-elers to personalize their tripitinerary. It also may be ac-cessed by a new smart phoneapp.

Dr. Groce said he hopestheir efforts will show Geor-gians that the war was foughtto preserve the Union anddestroy slavery and open apublic discussion about “vex-ing questions” such as “state’srights, power and race” thatstill “face us in our quest toform a more perfect union.”

Is it right to ‘commemorate’ Morgan’s Raid?

Gary KneppCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

July 24 questionAfter the George Zimmerman

acquittal in Florida, AttorneyGeneral Eric Holder has said hisdepartment will review so-called“stand-your-ground” laws thatallowapersonwhobelieves theyare in danger to use deadly forcein self-defense. Do you support“stand-your-ground” laws? Whyor why not?

“People, people, dowe reallywant to go here. A person wasfound innocent by a jury of hispeers.GeorgeZimmermanpro-tected himself and the commu-nity he was hired to protect. Ifthis right is gone, you will beguilty if an intruder breaks intoyour (home) and you harmthem, you defend yourself atthe parking lot when a muggertries to take your purse, wallet,car or child. Pres. John F. Ken-nedy stood his ground forAmerica during theCubanMis-sileCrisis.Don’t be led by a softignorant politician or othersthat are in office who arescared to stand up to the worldmuch less what is right. Wewould not beAmerica if the col-onists didn’t stand up to Eng-land, or France. God bless

America, let’skeep it, don’tgiveit away.”

C.J.H.

“Stand-your-ground lawsareverydangerous inasociety thatrefuses to enact common senserestrictions concerning gunsafety. This situation creates aperfect storm of untrained, in-experienced gun owners whobelieve they are entitled to usedeadly force against the mereperception of a threat. Add tothe mix the paranoid who feelthe need to always be armedand the foolish who equate be-ing armed to being lawenforce-ment and the result can only be

tragic. Until these laws aremore strictly defined, “StandyourGround” becomes “Run orGet a Bigger Gun.”

K.M.

“I do not support stand yourground laws and don’t believein using guns. If Zimmermanhadstayed inhis carornotbeenarmed Trayvon Martin wouldnot have gotten shot that night.

“Stopping profiling of non-whitecitizensbypoliceandvig-ilantes/neighborhood-watchclowns is the more importantmatter here. President Obamawas exactly right to make hisstatement the day before thepeaceful demonstrations lastFriday. A lot of prejudiced peo-ple are not capable of admittinghow right Obama was in doingthat last week. The bigots whokept asking to see Obama’sbirth certificatewere engagingin profiling, too.”

TRog

“Eric Holder should havebeen replaced some time ago.For him to continue to debasethe law(s) of the land and theConstitution and now measureAmerican’s as they defend

home, community and proper-ty, is typical of our current city/state/county/fed/media intru-sion into the daily lives of ‘com-mon men.’

“A jury was selected. Theywere legally bound to find thisman one way or the other ...that’s how it works. Everyonegohome, includingMr.Holder.”

K.P.

“I don’t support ‘stand-your-ground’ if itmeanssomeonehasto die. I’m not sure whetherOhio has this law, but I don’tthink so.

“I don’t believe in peoplehaving guns, so I could neversupport private citizens cruis-ing neighborhoods looking fortroublewith agun in their pock-et.”

E.E.C.

“I stopped listening to thenews about this case when Ilearned that the police depart-ment told George Zimmermanto go home and leave the polic-ing to them. Florida wants toreinvent law. Let them try, andlet us all avoid going there untilthey get it figured out.”

Rosa Grippa, 11, of Batavia Township recently won the titleof 2013 Junior Miss National Sweetheart Queen. PROVIDED

I couldn’t resist buy-ing an extra pound ofdark cherries from thegrocery. Not to eat out ofhand or put into fruitsalads, but to make cher-

ry bounce.It’s an oldfashionedliqueurwith trueheirloomstatus.

I be-lieve theShakersused tomakesomething

like cherry bounce andused it as a medicinal forsore throats, etc. Therecipe is a hand-writtenone frommy friend AnnRudloff, a Kentuckyreader. Her mom,Mary,made it every year. Marysaid it would cure justabout anything. She’s inheaven now and is prob-ably still brewing upbatches! I’ve knownfriends to use it as anafter dinner cordial andto spoon the cherriesfrom the bottom of thebottle onto ice cream orcake.

Classic cherrybounce

Mary used to use sug-ar string candy, severalpieces, for the sugar. Ican’t always find that so Iuse regular sugar.

1pound dark cherriesstemmed but not pitted.

2 cups sugar1 bottle bourbon whiskey

Put cherries in glassjar. Pour sugar and whis-key over. Put lid on.Shake each day untilsugar dissolves. Here’sthe kicker, though. Waitabout 4-6 months beforedrinking. I keep mine inmy pie safe. Great as aholiday gift. Be sure and

put on the label that thecherries have pits.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

I’m substituting rawhoney for the sugar inone of my batches. I’ll letyou know how it turnsout.

Summermuffalettawith olive dressing

Filling:1⁄2 pound each: Havarti orprovolone cheese andham

2⁄3 cup olive oil1⁄3 cup red wine vinegarMinced onion to taste (startwith 1 tablespoon)

Palmful fresh basil, chopped1 teaspoonminced garlic1 tablespoon fresh oregano,minced or 1 teaspoondried

Pepper to tasteWhisk together dress-

Can you help?Perpetual bread

“starter.” For Nanci P.who said she was watch-ing Paula Deen’s show

and a person broughtwith her a starter thatshe had had for 42 years.“She added a bit to hercinnamon yeast rolls, butshe said you can add toany bread, muffin, etc.Howwould I create myown starter and are theydifficult to feed, keeptemperature proper, andany other criteria?”

Nanci told me this isnot a sourdough starter,and I’m thinking it’ssomething like myfriendship bread starter,which can be kept foreons as long as it’s kept

fed. It can also be frozen.Does anybody have astarter similar to whatNanci wants?

When you buy some-thing from a door-to-door salesman you havethree days in which tocancel.

However, one areawoman says she had ahard time trying to can-cel a purchase made byher mother and her ex-perience serves as alesson for us all.

Renee Gruseck, ofPrice Hill, says a door-to-door salesman soldher mother a newvacuum cleaner. Theproblem is she didn’tneed a new vacuumcleaner. “I came in and

took a lookat thesweeperand thecontractand got onthe phonewith com-pany,” shesaid.

Thedistributor

of the vacuum cleanerhad sold the unit withlots of attachments. Soshe had her mother signto cancel the deal andthen called the companyto explain about hermother’s mild cognitive

impairment.“I explained to them

that there was an impair-ment and that they’d bebest served discussing itwith me. My concernwas if she cancels it theywould try to resell thesweeper to her,” Gru-seck said.

Nevertheless, whenthe company returned topick up the vacuumcleaner and return hermother’s sweeper, hermother signed a newcontract to buy thevacuum cleaner again.

Gruseck said all shewants to do is return the

entire vacuum cleanerand get back her moth-er’s sweeper. But at thispoint, she was having ahard time dealing withthe company. “I had anappointment scheduledwith one of their em-ployees a week ago at8:30 in the evening andthey didn’t show up,” shesaid.

“There are othermethods of sweepingand cleaning your floorthat doesn’t require a$1,500 sweeper,” Gru-seck said. Actually,when you include the 25percent interest rate inthe three-year paymentcontract she signed, thetotal cost of the sweepercomes to more than$2,100.

“She could afford thesweeper, but it was amatter that she didn’tneed a sweeper. She hada sweeper. She has hercarpets professionallycleaned so there’s noneed for her to have thatsweeper,” Gruseck said.

Finally, the companyscheduled another pick-up and this time Gru-seck took off from workso she could be there. Asa result, she was able toreturn the unit and getback her mother’svacuum — along withthe money her motherhad already put down onthe unit.

Bottom line, remem-ber you have three daysto cancel a door-to-doorsale. And by all meanskeep an eye on olderrelatives who may notfully realize whatthey’re getting them-selves into with some ofthose contracts.

HowardAinHEY HOWARD!

My husband and Irelocated to this area20 years ago, and for18 and a half of thoseyears, I have workedfor Clermont SeniorServices. I had no ideawhen I began thatworking here would beone of the most satis-fying and fulfillingexperiences of my life.

I often hear peoplecomplain about theirjobs, but there hasnever been a day that Idreaded going to workat CSS. Having workthat you love is truly agift. I am honored tohave played a part inpromoting the servicesthat CSS provides toseniors. It has beenpart of my mission inlife to support thiscause.

But it seems thereare not enough hoursin the day to do every-thing I want. I want tospend more time withmy family and friends.I want to travel more,and stay home more. Iwant to spend time inmy garden – lots oftime. I want to volun-teer and give some-thing back to the com-munity.

So, after carefulconsideration, I havedecided that now is thetime for me to retire,while healthy and ac-tive, and able to dowhat I want. I thoughtabout it for severalmonths, because this isnot a decision youmake quickly. I had tobe sure, and I am. Aug.2 is my last day atwork.

I am looking for-ward to retirement,yet I will miss so manythings; like the laugh-ter and camaraderie ofco-workers who havebecome dear friends. Iwill miss the challengeand stimulation of ademanding job. I willespecially miss work-ing with CindyGramke, executivedirector, who has beena close friend, adviser,mentor and encourag-er for the entire 18 anda half years.

I will certainly misstalking to seniors andhearing their stories.One of the first seniorsI visited was a frail,elderly lady. While wewere talking, I noticed

a blackandwhitephoto ofa smil-ingyoungwomandancingwith ahand-some

young man. She said,“That’s me. I used tobe a real person.” Ihave never forgottenher comment. Elderlypeople must never feelthat they have no valueor purpose in life.

I want to thank theCommunity Press andits editor, TheresaHerron, who has beena pleasure to workwith, and whom I’vecome to think of as afriend. Her keen senseof propriety, as well asher sense of humor,has been most helpful.

Since I became adirector in 1998, I havewritten nearly 400columns. Many wereinformational articlesabout diseases, fitness,events and other sen-ior issues. Some havebeen personal. Duringthat time I shared thedeaths of my parentsand both of my broth-ers, their illnesses andwarning signals, andthe process of griev-ing. Sometimes I justwrote a feel good sto-ry, like when I sharedthe letter that my fa-ther wrote to my moth-er while he was on anairplane headed toEngland during WorldWar II.

Over the years, Ireceived a number ofcalls from people re-sponding to somethingI wrote. Your calls andcomments have en-couraged and inspiredme. I cannot thank youenough. To all of thereaders I send my bestwishes. Thank you forallowing me to shareinformation, as well asmy heart, with you. Ihave loved every min-ute. God bless you all.

Howdy folks,It has been seven

weeks since my surgery. Iam doing good. I can dosome of the mowing andthat is good. I startedcardiac rehab last weekand the exercise is good.They have three youngladies that work thereand do an excellent jobwith each person.

After the exerciseclass last Wednesday, wewent to the Batavia Town-ship Park. We were sup-posed to have a picnic inone of the shelter houses.Since it was so hot, wewent into the building inthe air conditioning for aP.E.R.I. meeting.

Ruth Ann and I put thePomona Grange booth inat the fair Friday. Wewere to attend ameetinginWashington CourtHouse on Saturday forthe Lions Club ZoneChairmen, which we aregoing to do this year forour friend Clark VanSyock, who is the DistrictGovernor for District13-H.

The other day RuthAnn said to me comehere. She was looking outthe back screen door.There were two littlerabbits playing. Onewould jump then theother one would jump.This went on for severalminutes. We enjoyedwatching them.

It mademe think abouttime several years ago. Iwas rabbit hunting with afriend who had a littlebeagle dog namedSnoopy. Snoopy jumped arabbit. It would run awhile then it would stopwatching the dog. Thenthe rabbit would runsomemore. This went onfor a while then finallythe rabbit went into a

groundhoghole.Snoopystood therebarkingsome, thencame backto me. Myfriendasked,“Could youhave shot

the rabbit?” I said, “Yes,but I was enjoying watch-ing them toomuch.”

Sunday we went tochurch and a lady theregaveme some cards.They had attended a fairin Indiana where the fairwas mostly for the 4-Hkids and their projects.One of the cards was alegend about theMon-arch Butterflies. In theEastern North America,they have one of the larg-est migrations of manyspecies. These flights canlast for thousands ofmiles from Canada toCentral Mexico. That isremarkable. We haveseenmore butterflies thisyear than usual. Have youstopped and looked at abutterfly and all the dif-ferent colors? The goodLord sure knew how tocolor one of his creatures,don’t you think?

The Clermont CountyFair will be selling thecakes this evening. RuthAnnmade two cakes. Onewas a blackberry jam, theother an apple. We tookthem in Tuesdaymorning.Thursday, she plans tomake and take in twopies. One will be a lemonmeringue. The other oneshe is not sure yet. Thenthey will be auctionedthat evening. This year Iwill have no vegetables inthe fair, as I have notbeen able to take care ofthe garden. But hopefully

next year things will bebetter.

The other evening wegot a call fromMrs.Kelch. They had boxes offabric that she had usedmaking tops for her niecewho had passed away. Shehad worked at the Veter-ans Home. Mrs. Kelchdidn’t need this fabric soshe thought MonroeGrange could use it tomake the pillowcases forthe cancer patients atChildren’s Hospital forthe Conn-Kerr project.This will be used thiswinter on a sewing day.Thanks, Mary. She saidthat the ladies of theRambler Center in Rus-sellville who knit andcrochet are in need ofdonations of yarn to makehats and scarves for thehomeless through theCity Gospel Mission, alsothe victims of domesticviolence here in ClermontCounty. If you can helpthemwith donations ofyarn, giveMary a call at734-2501. These ladies doso much for the needy.They have a craft showthere at the center thefirst Saturday of Novem-ber. We will be there withour wood crafts, the GoodLord willing.

Now a correction fromlast week, Ruth Ann for-got to tell what kind ofvinegar to use on theBread and Butter Pickles.Use regular apple cidervinegar. The Lime Picklesuses the white vinegar.

Start your week bygoing to the house ofworship of your choiceand praise the Good Lord.God bless all. More later.

Her name is Zena andshe is a survivor. Today,she is also a dog that isloved. She is a reminderthat happy endings are al-ways possible. This is herstory.

In April, a ClermontCountyAnimalControlof-ficerpicked-upasad look-ing dog that neighbors re-ported was injured andrunning loose. When theanimal control officer ap-proached the retriever-mix, he noticed the dogwas hobbling; her leg hadbeen severed recently. Itwasn’t performed by aveterinarian, but by the

dog’s owner, who claimsthe dog hurt her leg whenshe got caught in a cableshe was tied to.

When the ClermontCounty Humane Societyrescued Zena, they tookher to Hillside Small Ani-mal Hospital, where shereceived emergency carefor her leg. Instead of be-ingreturned to theshelterto recover before shecould be put up for adop-tion, Zenawent into fostercare at the hospital. Shewent home with a vettechnician at HillsideHospital and was provid-ed with around-the-clock

care. A bond quicklyformed between the care-giver and patient. Zenawas soon adopted by herfoster care providers.

Zena’s previous ownerhas been chargedwith an-imal cruelty.

If you have room inyourheartorhometohelpan unwanted, abused orneglected dog, visit theClermont County AnimalShelter and find a newbest friend. Visit the shel-ter at 4025FilagerRoad inBatavia. Call 732-8854 formore information or visitwww.ClermontAnimal-Shelter.org.
