Pierce Township’s bud-get will take a bit of a hitthisyearandnext forroadimprovements.

In 2014, the townshiphas about $300,000 bud-geted for repairs and re-surfacing, and there is an-other $250,000 budgetedfor next year’s road con-

struction.“We need to get our

roads back into a statewhere we can be on aschedule,” Trustee Rich-ard Riebel said during aJuly 9 budget hearing.“We are seriously behindon road maintenance.”

This year, the townshiphad10streetson its list forresurfacing and repairs.

Fiscal Officer KarenRegister said years ago,township trustees wantedto savemoney and stretchout the road funds setaside in the budget, butnow the roads neglectedin the past are starting tofall apart.

“For a number ofyears, (the township was)not putting money intoroads and now we’re pay-

ing theprice,”Riebel said.“We saved money then,but we’re playing catchup.”

After these two years,Pierce Township officialsexpect to spend about$175,000 per year for roadrepairs and set an im-provement schedule.

Trustee Bob Pautkesaid he understands theneed to spend more in2014 and 2015, but hewants to “make sure wehave a plan” for futureroad work.

Other budget newsHomeowners in Leg-

endary Run can expecthigher costs to pay for thegaslights in the neighbor-hood.

Register said the light-ing district fund washealthy, but a reduction inhomeowner assessmentscombined with higher ex-penses means homeown-ers soon will have to paymore.

In 2011, the fee was$180 per year, but it wasreduced to $120 becausethe lighting district fundhad a larger balance thanneeded, Township Admin-istrator Tim Hershnersaid.

He recommended rais-ing theassessment to $150per year to cover the costof expenses.

“It’s a lot to digest,”Trustee Jim Sauls Jr. said.

Sauls said the availabil-ity of the field for resi-dentswas a big considera-tion.

Parsons said taxpayerdollars would not be usedto fund this.

This sentiment wasechoed by Trustee BillDowdney, who said the

Visitors Bureau shouldnotexpectfundingfor thisproject from the town-ship.

Smith said the Bureauhas “resources interestedin contributing to the pro-ject.”

Hesaid the soccer fieldproposal has been underconsideration for severalyears and that the Bureauwould like something un-der way by next year.

Sauls, though, said thesoil would need to be pre-pared for use as a soccerfield and that could takeseveral years.

“Working on the playhas given us a chance tolearn about such interest-ing events as the periloustrain wreck of 1889 andthe rousing suffragetteparade in theearly1900s.”

These performanceswill takeplaceeveryhour,on the hour, during the bi-centennial weekend, atthe village fire station.

UNIONTWP.—TheWestClermont Board of Educa-tion has approved the useof blizzard bags for the2014-2015 school year.

It’s a safety net, Super-intendent Keith Klinesaid. “(We) want to makesure we’re prepared.”

Last winter blizzardbags were a way forschools tomakeupcalami-ty days by providing stu-dents with an opportunityto make up courseworkonline.

A significant numberof schools exceeded theircalamity day quota lastwinter because of the se-vere winter.

West Clermont madeup three calamity daysthroughtheuseofblizzardbags.

The school board ap-proved the use of blizzardbags if necessary to makeup three calamity days

next win-ter. Thiswouldamount to21 hours.

Klinesaid theblizzardbagsarees-pecially

necessary in light of statechanges regarding schoolattendance. School atten-dance will now be mea-sured in hours instead ofdays.

In previous years, aone-hour or two-hoursnow delay would notcount against attendance,since it was measured indays, according to Kline.

With the new state re-quirements it will, he said,adding that the use of bliz-zard bags can go towardmaking up hours thatmaybe lost due to a calamityday.

The state requirementsdefinitely have an impact,board President Tina San-

born said. “If the student,especiallyasenior, isshortan hour or two, that couldaffect them graduating,”she said.

Sanborn said the bliz-zardbagsareaway topre-vent loss of hours.

“(The students) need tobe able to do their home-work,” she said. “(This) isjust one more way forthem to pass to the nextgrade and not lose a day.”

Boardmember TammyBrinkman asked if theteaching staff was onboard with the use of bliz-zard bags.

Brinkman said she hadheard a number of peopleweigh in on the blizzardbagswith some saying theassignments were busyworkwhile others said theamount of work was ex-cessive.

Kline said feedbackfrom the teachers wouldbe reviewed and that de-tails of implementing thiswere being worked out.

EAST END — Turns out MaryQueen of Scots didn’t need astick after all.

With thearrival of foot golf inCincinnati, all the purported in-ventorof theancientgameneed-edwas,well, a foot.Anda soccerball.

The latest iteration of tradi-tional golf - kicking a soccer ballaround the course instead of us-ing clubs - arrived earlier thissummer at Reeves Golf Coursein the East End and WoodlandGolf Course in Western Hills.Glenview Golf Course in Glen-dale will add a four-hole footcourse as well.

tional course - put two differentfoot holes near each green tomake an 18-hole foot course.Reeves uses the par-threecourse along the BeechmontLevee for its foot golf.

“All the feedback we’ve got-ten has been really positive,”said Paul Holzderber of BillyCasper Golf, the managementcompany operating the Cincin-nati Recreation Commissioncourses. “I know there havebeen some repeat players. Someof the younger guys have beenspreading the word. We haven’teven started marketing it, real-ly.”

Brad Poppell of Milfordheardabout thegamebywordofmouth and seeing Facebook

posts about it. He coaches a U9boys team in the Cincinnati Soc-cer Alliance Program andbrought some of his players - in-cluding his son Bradley - toReeves for a round July 31.

“It’s really good technicalworkforthekids,”theelderPop-pell said. “A lot of the othercoaches are starting to bringtheir kids down, too. It’s well-priced, it’s fast and it’s fun. Ithink it’s going to catch onwell.”

“It was really successful forthe first year,” said KristineGlenn, TQL senior communica-tions specialist. “We had greatengagement during the voting,more than 4,700 peoplewho vot-ed.”

Glen said a common themeemerged among the entrants:“How much the self confidencethat sports has given youngwomen to overcome any obsta-cles they’ve had. That was pret-ty inspiring.”

Samson - aMilford resident -plays a non traditional sportwith her twin sister Maddie,who also was a finalist in the es-say contest. Haley appeared

ahead of Maddie alphabeticallyon the voting web page, so thesistersdecided towork togetherto push Haley to the top ratherthan split the vote.

Which turned into anotherlife lesson derived from sports.

“I’d say I really learned howto network through this experi-ence,”Haley said. “It’s probablygoing to be a valuable life skillthe rest ofmy life.MysisterandI really rallied the Ultimatecommunity. We reached out toother teams and they startedsharing and we had people allover the country voting.”

For an ever-growing organi-zation like the CincinnatiSaints, the off-field success ofthe 2014 National PremierLeague Soccer season is inmanywaysevenmorevaluablethan the on-field results.

The Saints finished the 2014season with a 3-10-1 record.They also enjoyed their firstseason playing home games atTaft High School’s Stargel Sta-dium and hope to capitalize onthe excitement created by theFIFAWorld Cup.

“Considering the awarenessof what we’re trying to do andtrying to build, I’d say it was asuccessful season,” Saints own-er David Satterwhite said.“We’re trying to do things dif-ferently than other teams be-fore us.”

First-year head coachDavidWall would have liked to seemore victories, but he waspleased with the Saints’ pro-gress both on and off the field.

“The seasonhasbeenas suc-cess, as with it being the firstyear in theNPSL, I feltweweremore than competitivewith theplaying squad we had,” saidWall. “Theplayersworkedhardand transitioned well to life inthe fourth division of soccer inthe U.S.”

Wall hopes to see schedulingchanges that would help avoidwear and tear on the players.Instead of back-to-back games,he would prefer the games bespread out each week and theseason extended to 28 games.The consecutive games andschedule heavy with early sea-son road matches had theSaints trying to play catch upthe rest of the season. TheSaints enjoyed their new homefieldandare lookingforward tospending more time playing infront of Cincinnati fans nextseason.

“We didn’t know if anybodywouldshowupwithourmovetoOver-the-Rhine,” Satterwhitesaid. “Ourhopewas togetmorepeople to show up by movingdowntown.”

The World Cup created aperfect opportunity for theSaints to promote professionalsoccer in Cincinnati. The or-ganizationhostedwatchpartieson Fountain Square, with thehelp of sponsor Hoist. Thecrowds were overwhelming,

much larger than the groups offans who watched the 2010World Cup on the square.

“That was our coming outparty in the city,” said Satter-white. “We proved that there isa soccer community here.”

Now, the Saints must con-tinue tobuild on theexcitement

created by those watch partiesand the U.S. Men’s NationalTeam’s success.

CINCINNATI — In mid-July, a group of CincinnatiMarlins put a hurting onthe swimming recordbooks before returninghome from the 2014 LongCourse Junior OlympicChampionships at MiamiUniversity.

As they returned onOhio 27, coach Chris Wol-ford’s crew of 92 had 37state titles, 22 meet rec-ords and four national rec-ords.

The national recordswere set by the 13-14 boysin the 800 free relay (Jus-tin Grender, Nicholas Per-era, Jake Foster and JoshMcDonald in 7:58.64 - firstever under eight minutesin the United States); the200 medley relay (JustinGrender, Jake Foster,Nick Perera and Josh Mc-Donald - 1:52.17); and the400 medley relay (JustinGrender, Jake Foster,Nicholas Perera, JoshMc-Donald - 4:04.42).

Not to be outdone, the11-12 boys were the firstsub-four minute 400 freerelay team in the UnitedStates posting a 3:58.04(Carson Foster, Jacob Mc-Donald, Ansel Fross andKevin Thibodeaux).

For the 13-14 group,Grender and Perera areSt. Xavier Aquabombersand Josh McDonald at-tends Lakota East.

“We really loweredsome statemarks by quitea bit,” Wolford said. “It’skind of a tribute to ourdepth that wewere able toputtogethersomenationalrecord-setting relays withreally no national record-setting individuals. Theywere able to come togeth-er at the same timeandsetthose records.”

friendly and people have saidthey want a dog just like him.In the 1800s, they were knownas “nanny dogs” often incharge of babysitting childrenwhile their parents worked inthe farm fields. Whatchanged? The thugs and thedog fighting owners whotrained them to fight. It is allabout how they are raised as itis with any dog breed, not justthe APBTs.”

May Robinson

“Given the proper circum-stances, all dogs bite. The sta-tistics show that theNo.1biterbreed is Labradors. It doesn’ttake into account that labra-dors are themost popular dog,so there aremore of them, andhence, more bites. It is ridicu-lous to ban or punish a certainbreed. In the ‘60s, Dobermanswere vilified, then Germanshepherds,nowit’spitbulls. Inthe next decade, it may be chi-huahuas. All. Dogs. Bite.”

Ariel Wulff

“Pit bulls should not bebanned. Breed-specific legis-lation does not work. Severalbreeds or dogs that are mixedare just likely to attack as a pitand can do just as much dam-age. Just as every human, ev-ery dog is different.”

Letter writer’s logicbackfires

Thomas Conover’s attemptto refute Dawn Harsley’sstatements that he had re-ferred to West ClermontSchool Board Member JimLewis as tyrannical was a di-saster in attempted writing.

While trying to refute whathe originally wrote, he did itagain. He refers, to the “tran-ny of the majority,” whichgoes back to what Mrs. Har-sley spoke of – the voting ma-jority electedMr. Lewis. So byMr. Conover’s definition, nowthe majority of the voters in

West Clermont School Dis-trict, are tyrants!

FurtherMr. Conoverwrites“While it is possible for votersto be tyrannical as in imposingtheir religious beliefs on oth-ers (like same sex marriage,Sundayalcohol sales, etc.) . . .”.What kind of lopsided logic isthat? If one could possibly fol-low Mr. Conover’s logic, thenthat makes themajority of theU.S. voters tyrants, becausethey have imposed their be-liefs on those who did not votefor Obama!!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Their names might beMaxand Shadow.

At 4:01 p.m., when the ani-mal shelter closes, it won’treally matter if they were onthe euthanasia list and no onewas there to save them.

You seeMax and Shad-ow werebrought to theshelter, or “setfree,” becausetheir pet own-ers moved/hada baby/devel-oped allergies/made vacationplans/couldn’tafford the

food, etc. Maybe the ownersdidn’t know there were placesthey could get help with foodand vet expenses. Maybe theythought that Max and Shadowwould be OK at the shelteruntil they were adopted. May-be they thought that, if thepets were sick, the shelterwould have a vet to give themmedicine.

What the owners didn’trealize is that the county’sopen admission animal shelteris full. It has been for a while.The K-9 designee, ClermontPets Alive (CPA), has beenable – up to now – to take themajority of the dogs (as wellas cats/kittens) from the “eu-thanasia lists” supplied by theshelter. For the canines, it’sCPA’s role per their agreementwith the county commission-ers. Some listed animals maybe networked to other rescuegroups. The bigger dogs, olderdogs, momma cats with kit-tens, and senior cats usuallyend up with Clermont PetsAlive.

Clermont Pets Alive is theno-kill initiative for ClermontCounty. It’s a groupmade up ofvolunteers. It is funded onlyby donations, grants and occa-sional bake sales. CPA takesthe animals to a vet to be ex-amined and spayed/neutered.The animals are tested to see

how they act with people, kids,cats and dogs. The CPA ani-mals are placed in fosterhomes or in boarding (for afee) at a reputable facility. Ifthey need training or havespecial needs, CPA volunteersprovide these things too.

To find them “Forever”homes, the animals are takento local adoption events. Theirprofiles are posted on siteslike Facebook, PetFinder andAdopt-a-Pet. CPA offers a“Foster to Adopt” program ifthere is uncertainty aboutadding a new pet. If thingsdon’t work out, the animal canbe brought back so CPA cankeep searching for it’s “Forev-er” home.

Like the shelter and rescuegroups, the current volunteersat Clermont Pets Alive canonly do so much. It truly takesthe “village” to save Cler-mont’s homeless animals. CPAneeds you. With the financialsupport and volunteerismfrom our community, Cler-mont County can and will saveall the healthy and treatablehomeless animals.

How can you help?»Adopt: www.cpaadopt.org;» Foster: www.cpafoste-

Without CPA as the safetynet, at 4:01 p.m. it may be toolate for Max and Shadow. Theshelter will have closed. Maxand Shadowwould be gone.With more foster homes andvolunteers, together CPA andthe community can find homesfor Max and Shadow and theother homeless pets of Cler-mont County.

With the 2015 MajorLeague Baseball All-StarGame coming to Cincinnati,focus will be on its rich base-ball history. One can see itnow if going to a Reds’ gameor visiting the area.

Great American BallparkThere is much to be seen

there without going inside orbuying aticket.

Outsidethe mainentrance ofthe GreatAmericanBall Park isCrosley Ter-race, a siz-able monu-ment de-signed to

commemorate the team’sCrosley Field period. It fea-tures bronze statues of starsJoe Nuxhall, Ernie Lombardi,Ted Kluszewski and FrankRobinson. References to thefamous Crosley Field terraceare also visible as the slopedgrassy areas that divide thearea.

Statues of Riverfront Sta-dium stars Johnny Bench andJoe Morgan have been addednearby. Bench is in front ofthe entrance to the Reds’ Hallof Fame and Museum andMorgan is near the cornerJoe Nuxhall Way (a continua-tion of Main Street) and John-ny Bench Way (a continuationof Second Street). Also nearthe Morgan statue and thecorner is a large piece, 50-foot-by-20-foot Indiana lime-stone bas relief carving titled“The Spirit of Baseball,” thatis “dedicated to the big lea-guer in all of us.” It picturesball players of various agesand several Cincinnati land-

marks, including Union Ter-minal and the Roebling Sus-pension Bridge.

To the south of CrosleyTerrace, along the sidewalk isthe Rose Garden. It marksthe area where Pete Rose’shit number 4,192 landed in1985. On the other side of thestadium, pictured on a muralon the back of the score-board, is the bat and ball usedfor the historic hit.

Reds’ Hall of Fame andMuseum

Just west of Great Amer-ican Ball Park is the Reds’Hall of Fame and Museum,which is filled with photo-graphs, memorabilia, andinformation. Since a Reds’team has existed almost ev-ery year since 1869 and theReds’ Hall of Fame has exist-ed since 1958, it is hard toimagine how a facility thatsize can cover the team’shistory. It does do a remark-able job.

The museum, whichopened in 2004, contains twolevels of exhibits, includingcollage walls containing pho-

tographs and memorabiliafor players at each position, aWorld Series room, a broad-caster’s section, and muchmore. The lower level beginswith a changing exhibitorarea and a theater designedto look like stadium standswith a Crosley Field score-board replica at the front.

Most of the exhibits are onthe third floor, which alsofeatures changing exhibits.You can relax and enjoy avideo in a lounge chair in a“man-cave,” named the Ulti-mate Reds Room, that isfilled with Reds autographs,team promotional items, andother collectibles. The bestfeature is the path throughthe museum offers severalvisual surprises. The tourends by dropping you into aReds’ team shop back on theground level. Admission ischarged to the museum, butthey offer some discounts.

REUNIONS

Bryn Mooth, whowrites the food blogWrites4Food.com,

amongothercreativeendeav-ors,stoppedby myhome lastweek tovisit myherb gar-den andchat.

We found out we hadlots in common when itcomes to food and gar-dening, though I willsay Bryn looks way tooyoung to be so accom-plished. Her blog hasdoable, really good reci-pes with beautiful pho-tos. One that caught myeye recently was herFrench picnic salad in ajar. Oh my gosh, I want-ed to dig into the photowith a fork, it lookedthat good. I’m sharingthe recipe here.

By the way, this fallshe’ll be publishing herbook “The Findlay Mar-ket Cookbook” withstories and recipes thatcelebrate our uniqueand historic FindlayMarket. The book focus-es on food that vendorsare proud to sell alongwith their stories andhistories.

My Mom and Daddrove their Chevy toFindlay just about everyweek when we werekids. They had certainfavorite vendors who

knew them by name justlike I do today. Mom andDad always got goodbargains, witnessed bya trunk load of ethnicfoods for our Lebanesetable!

Bryn’s French picnicsalad in a jar

Bryn says: “A beauti-ful layered salad in a jar(She used a Weck .5LMold jar), perfect fortransporting to a picnicor, less romantically, tothe office. You couldspin this salad-in-a-jarthing a million differentways, but I went for ariff on the classicFrench nicoise salad,with steamed potatoes,green beans and a mus-tardy vinaigrette. If youlayer the dressing onthe bottom and the let-tuce on the top, thenyour salad ingredientsstay nice and fresh andcrisp until you’re readyto eat, at which pointyou simply shake thejar to distribute thedressing, and stick yourfork all the way to thebottom to get a bit ofeverything in one bite.”

Salad8 to 10 small cherry

or grape tomatoes1/2 cup shredded

cooked chickenHandful fresh green

beans, trimmed to 1-inch lengths

3 little fingerlingpotatoes

Few pitted blackolives

3-4 leaves of butter

lettuce, cut into thinribbons

Mustardy vinaigretteWhisk together:1/3 cup white-wine or

champagne vinegar3 tablespoons Dijon

mustard1 tablespoon honey1/2 cup olive oilSalt & pepperPrepare green beans

and potatoes: In a pot ofboiling salted water,cook potatoes until justtender, about 8 to 10minutes; remove withslotted spoon to colan-der to cool. To the samepot, add beans andblanch for 1minute;transfer to colander andrun under very coldwater to stop cooking.Slice potatoes intorounds about 1/4-inchthick.

Spoon a generoustablespoon of dressinginto bottom of jar, thenlayer rest of ingredientsin this order: cherrytomatoes, shreddedcooked chicken, greenbeans, sliced potatoes,black olives and, finally,lettuce. Keep refriger-ated until about 30 min-utes before serving.Shake jar to distributedressing.

Rita’s freshpeppermint iced tea

For Matt, who has anabundance of mint andasked: “How do I sub-stitute fresh mint forthe amount of mintthat’s in a teabag?”

Take a generous cou-ple handful of mintleaves and crush them alittle between yourpalms or with a spoon torelease the healthfuloils. Place into a largemug or jar. Pour 2 cupssimmering water over,cover and steep about 10minutes. Strain andtaste. Add more water ifyou like. Cool and pourover ice. I like to sweet-en it with raw honey orStevia and serve with awedge of citrus.

Tips from Rita’sgarden

Along with vitamin C,mint is a good digestiveherb and the tea is a

natural coolant.

Howdy Folks,The Clermont County

Fair is over for anotheryear. We always lookforward to the fair. Weput items in from thegarden and carpentershop. Ruth Ann put twocakes and two pies in tosell that evening. The twocakes were blackberryjam and an angel food.The two pies a custardand a pecan. Theybrought together over$200. The cake saleswere down this year. Thefair gets three-fourths ofthe money and the exhib-itor gets one fourth.

I put in five gardenvegetables, roma toma-toes, red potatoes, zuc-chini, shell beans andcarrots. The carrots arethe thumblina, the size ofa radish. We had somefor dinner yesterday andthey are so good. I got

three rib-bons andthat wasgood. Theproducethis yearwas excel-lent. Thefolks thatput vegeta-bles in arevery good

gardeners. The flowersthat were entered wereextra beautiful. Thewood item was a bird-house made like a cov-ered bridge.

On Stonelick WilliamsCorner Road one fellerput in two gazebos in thewood items and got ablue and a red ribbon.Ruth Ann put in threecrocheted items also.There were three Grangebooths, for Monroe Sub-ordinate, Clermont Po-mona and for Monroe

Junior Grange.We were setting on the

porch the other eveningand watching the hum-mingbirds feed. Wecounted at least six birds,they are my favoritebird. We have two feed-ers up and Ruth Ann fillseach one at least everythree days. They fly sofast and can hover andturn around just like ahelicopter. Chester wasjust laying on the porchand would look up atthem.

When they were work-ing on the streets in Bata-via folks complained, buthow beautiful they arenow with the differentcolors. Next weekend istheir Bicentennial Cele-bration. Starting onWednesday, Aug. 6, at 7p.m. with The ClermontPhilharmonic Orchestra.Thursday at 7 p.m. the

Batavia Theater Project.Friday events are noon to11 p.m.; Saturday, 8:30a.m. to 11:30 p.m. andSunday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The Taste of Clermontis included in this cele-bration. The turninglanes are such a help.There is so much workon the different high-ways but when they arecompleted howmuchbetter for everyone. Thefolks that do all this workon how the roads will bebuilt are to be thankedfor their expertise.

We were talking to acouple folks at the fairthat make dresses andshorts for kids in Haiti.These folks have made3,000 dresses, sent 900shorts and T-shirts toHaiti. 50 dresses to Nic-aragua and they aresending 215 dresses toAfrica. They are thinkingabout getting into anIndian reservation.

These ladies are doingthe Lord’s work and areto be thanked. We sayGod Bless All of you.They don’t do this for anyglory, but just doing theLord’s work.

When I was workingfor the Hess AuctionFirm we were setting upa sale at Sardinia. Thetrain tracks still went bythat town. It was the endof the tracks and whilewe were working there atrain engine stopped tolook at the auction. Thatamazed me! I was talkingto a feller that retiredfrom being an engineer.He said they passed afield of soybeans andthere were two horseseating the beans. He toldanother feller if the folksthat owned the horsesdidn’t get them out theywould founder them-selves, so they stoppedthe train and told thepeople. That was the

service done back then.My grandparents liveddown in Kentucky. Whenthey moved from thefarm to the town thetrain stopped and gotthem and their furnitureand moved them to theirnew home.

The East Fork Lake isclearing up and fishing isgetting better, the crap-pie tournament was bet-ter; first place was 5pounds, 10 ounces; sec-ond place was 5-8; thirdplace was 5-4. the bigcrappie was 14 inches,weighting 1-4.

Start your week bygoing to the house ofworship of your choiceand praise the GoodLord. God Bless All MoreLater.

It’s true. Regular oil changes, tune-ups and maintenance can help improve your vehicle’s performance and gasmileage, extend its life and increase its resale value. It can also help reduce traffic congestion due to preventablebreakdowns. But possibly most important of all, taking good care of your car could help reduce emissions bymore than half. And that should make you breathe a lot easier between oil changes. So keep it up because…
