New federal guidelines nolonger allow schools to countFrench fries as a regular “lunchcomponent,” but the Goshen Lo-cal Schools will sell students asmall order of them on the sidefor a penny.

Cooks for students in publicand parochial schools in Mil-ford, Madeira, Wyoming andFinneytownare learning to cookfrom scratch.

And salt has been banished inClermont Northeastern LocalSchools’ cafeterias, where stu-dents will have to learn to likewhole-grain pizza and be re-quired – not asked – to take fruitwith their breakfast.

These are just some of thepractices local school districtsare being forced to swallow asstate and federal officials con-

tinue to roll out changes inschool nutrition programs.

TheGoshenLocalSchoolDis-trict is encouraging thepublic toexplore its newnutrition and fit-ness website athttp://bit.ly/1sibFXv for “quickand easy” healthy recipes thatwill appeal to students and theirfamilies.

It’s the same website thattells students that if they wantFrench fries with their lunchthis school year, they’ll have to

buy them a la carte.Anyone with questions is

asked to call the cafeteria de-partment at 513-728-7991.

The Milford Exempted Vil-lage School District recentlyused a grant to send most of itsnutrition servicesmanagers to aweek-long “Cook for America”training session, a sort of cook-ing boot camp for schools.

Participants worked with ateam of professional chefs andlearned how to create healthier

meals from federal commodi-ties that studentswould actuallyeat.

Goals of the Cook for Ameri-ca program include saving timeand money, introducing schoolfood service workers to fresher,healthier foods and cookingmore recipes from scratch.

“Over the course of threeyears, we’re going to transitionall of our menus to all scratch,”said Jerry Levy, director of nu-trition services for the MilfordExempted Village Schools. “In-stead of serving processedfoods, we’ll be cooking fromscratch.”

It continues to be a challengeto devise healthymenus that ap-peal to students, but Levy saidshe’s excited about many of theCook for America recipes that

she’s tried at home.The changeswill affectmore

thanMilford students.The Milford Exempted Vil-

lage Schools also manage nutri-tion-service operations forschools in Madeira, Wyomingand Finneytown, as well as sev-eral parochial schools and a so-cial communication programof-fered by the Clermont CountyEducational Service Center.

In the Clermont Northeast-ern Local School District, foodservices Director Terri Hoerthsaid thedistrictwill continuede-creasing its salt level this schoolyear in accordance with federalguidelines.

Thedistrictwill no longerputsalt in meals or provide salt

Pierce Township voters inNovember will be asked to paymore taxes to support the firedepartment.

Trustees Aug. 6 approvedplacing a 2.8-mill continuinglevy on the Nov. 4 ballot. Thelevy is expected to bring in$937,655 annually and each yearwill cost property owners an ad-ditional $280 per $100,000 of val-ue.

Administrator TimHershnersaid a continuing levy makessense because fire departmentsprovide a continuing service,though he acknowledged thetownship may have to comeback to voters again in the nearfuture.

By choosing the 2.8-mill levy,instead of a 3.34-mill or 3.88-milllevy, which were also options,Hershnersaid it showsthetown-ship is being a “good steward ofresidents’ tax monies, but alsobeing honest that in five to sixyears we will be back to look atthis again.”

Trustee Rich Riebel said thetownship has the potential formore commercial and residen-tial development, which would

mean higher property valuesbut also a greater demand forservice.

Resident Stan Shadwell cau-tioned against relying too muchon future projections and saidvoters will be more likely to ap-prove a levy if it is based on cur-rent needs.

“Wedon’tknowwhatwillhap-pen in five years’ time,” he said.

Trustee Bob Pautke agreedand said, “We need to make thecase for what is legitimate, asopposed to guessing now.”

BATAVIA—At the ClermontRecovery Center CommunityGarden here, rule No. 1 is: Ifyou will help weed it, you mayhelp eat it.”

The second rule is “enjoy,”and much to the delight of the

garden’s supporters, many ofthe center’s clients and em-ployees have done just thatthis summer.

The garden got its start afew years ago when two of thecenter’s prevention specialistsdecided itwould be a goodpro-ject to instill responsibility inyouths in one of the center’s

day camps.“It belonged to the kids, but

they just weren’t that interest-ed,” saidMelissaKaetzel-Cole,a prevention specialist/coun-selor for Clermont RecoveryCenter Inc. Sheand fellowpre-vention specialist Rochelle

Phyllis Suttles, an insurance specialist at Clermont Recovery Center Inc. in Batavia, and Kathy Menard,who handles fiscal accounts payable for Clermont Recovery Center, recently picked peppers, green beans,tomatoes and other vegetables from the center’s community garden.

Trustee Bonnie Batch-ler said the new engineand a new ambulance areboth needed, but the town-ship does not have themoney at the moment.

“I’m a taxpayer and I

don’t want to pay morethanwhat I have to, butwedefinitely have to be ableto support our fire depart-ment,” she said.

Four levies support thefire and EMS depart-ments, with the first oneapprovedbyvoters in1986and the most recent ap-proved in 2006. Collective-ly they bring in just under$2.1million per year.

Jones had had the idea tostart the garden.

“We jokingly called itthe garden of resiliencybecause nobody wantedit, nobody weeded it, andit still grew,” Cole said.

Even though the youngcampers didn’t want togarden, Cole noticedwhen she looked out herofficewindowthat clientsand staff alike had takenan interest inweeding thegarden and picking itsproduce.

So Cole approachedSteve Goldsberry, then-CEO of the Clermont Re-covery Center Inc., aboutexpanding thegardenandengaging the center’stherapists in teachinggardening “as a sort of so-ber leisure activity.”Goldsberry liked the idea.

Because the agencydoesn’t have a huge bud-get for its prevention pro-gram, Cole approachedlocal businesses to payfor the project.

NeffLandscape&Gar-den Center in Batavia do-nated10 vegetable plants.MerchantsNational Bank

inBataviagave thecenter$200, which Cole andJones used to purchasegardening supplies, andCole’s husband built thegardenbedswith leftoverboards from his job.

Employees now sug-gest that their clients vis-it the garden during

breaks. Adolescents incenter programs alsohelp water and weed thegarden.

People can see the ben-efit of their labor,” saidKathy Menard, who han-dles fiscal accounts paya-ble for the Clermont Re-covery Center. “They en-joy eating things thatthey’ve grown.”

Cole said research onhorticultural therapyshows that gardens canhelp those who abusedrugs or alcohol.

“Besides teaching peo-ple new skills, a gardencan help with stress re-duction,” she said. “Itgives clients a sense ofpurpose and achievementto watch things they’vecared for grow and devel-op into fruits and vegeta-bles...It’s something theycan do in their down timebecause idol hands can bea trigger to use sub-stances.”

packets in the middle andhigh school cafeterias thisschool year.

This school year, dis-tricts must not only offerfresh fruit to studentswhoeat breakfast at school,Hoerth said, they alsomust require them to takethe fruit.

Hoerth recalled look-ing into a cafeteria gar-bage can last year andfinding seven whole ap-ples thathadbeendiscard-ed by students.

The Clermont North-eastern Local School Dis-trict - like others that arepart of the federal com-modities program - nowalso must offer 100 per-

cent whole-grain productsin everything from pizzato pasta to breads.

Hoerth acknowledges,“It has been a struggle tokeep the reimbursablerates up becausemost stu-dents don’t want to eat re-quired federal offeringslike whole-grain chickennuggets and breads.”

“It’s frustrating thatour government steps inand makes the guidelineswhen they don’t really un-derstandhowitaffects thekids,” Hoerth said.

“It’s OK to be healthy,but you need to have somebalance.”

Mary Smith, food ser-vice director for the Be-thel-Tate Local Schools,said fewer students arebuying lunch since thenew guidelines began roll-ing out during the 2011-

2012 school year.“More students are

bringing unhealthylunchesfromhomethat in-cludechipsandsoftdrinksto school,” Smith said.

“I don’t think that is thegovernment’s goal, butthat is what is happening.

“I think thatwedoneedchanges to the lunch/breakfast programs, butbabystepsaremoreeasilydigested than large ones,”Smith said.

The Bethel-Tate LocalSchools have added morefresh fruits and vegeta-bles to its lunchmenus.

“The students do likethe choice of the freshfruits and veggies, butthey do not like that theyare required to takea fruitor veggie,” Smith said.

“Some students throwthe fruit or veggie thatthey are required to takeinto the garbage.

“Most children aretaught not to waste food

and, ‘don’t take it ifyouarenot going to eat it,’ but weare sending an oppositemessage: ‘Take it but youdon’thave toeat it,’” Smithsaid.

beverages to students during the regular school day and before- and after-school programsin school districts, community schools, and nonpublic schools.The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 aims to provide the more than 31million chil-

dren who receive meals through the school lunch program with healthy food.The act authorizes funding for federal school meal and child nutrition programs and

increases access to healthy food for low-income children. It reauthorized child nutritionprograms for five years and included $4.5 billion in new funding for those programs over 10years.The act, intended to improve nutrition and reduce childhood obesity, is being implement-

ed in stages, with requirements and higher standards added each year.» In 2011, Ohio schools banished carbonated beverages from vending machines and said

at least half of the drinks offered must be water or zero-calorie beverages. The HealthyChoices for Children Act focused on drinks and snacks and addressed the sugar, fat andsodium content of a la carte foods sold during school hours, as well as food in vendingmachines and at after-school programs.» In the 2012-2013 school year, lunch programs were required to offer fruit daily, and

vegetable subgroups – dark green such as broccoli, collard greens, spinach; red/orange, suchas carrots and sweet potatoes; beans/peas such as kidney beans, or lentils; starchy,includingcorn, green peas, white potatoes and others such as onions, green beans, and cucumbers tomeet a five-cup weekly total.» Half of all grains were required to be whole-grain rich, which means they contain at

least 50 percent whole grains. This includes the breading used on chicken tenders or chickennuggets. Schools were required to offer fat-free flavored milk and were allowed to offerlow-fat unflavored milk as well.» Calorie ranges were set for students by age groupings for lunch: grade level K-five,

550-650 calories; grade level six-eight, 600-700 calories; grade level nine-12, 750-800 calories.No transfat per portion is allowed.» In 2013-14, calorie ranges were set for students by age groupings for breakfast: grade

level K-five, 350-500 calories; grade level 6-8, 400-500 calories; and grade level 9-12, 450-600calories.» In the 2014-2015 school year, food service will begin to lower the sodium content of

food served for breakfast and lunch.» In 2012, a high school lunch had about 1,600 milligrams of sodium. Through incremental

changes, that amount lowers over the next decade to 740 milligrams or less of sodium forgrades through nine through 12; 710 milligrams or less for grades six through eight; 640milligrams or less for kindergarten through fifth-grades.» The rules will require the menu to increase fruit to a minimum of one cup per day. All

grains at breakfast and lunch must be whole-grain rich. Reimbursable breakfasts must nowinclude a fruit or vegetable.The act gives the USDA the authority to set nutritional standards for all foods regularly

sold in schools during the school day, including vending machines, the “a la carte” lunchlines, and school stores and it provides additional funding to schools that meet updatednutritional standards for federally-subsidized lunches.Ohio’s seeing progress under the bill; it now stands 10th on a USDA list of states with the

worst “food insecurity,” a term used to describe the state of being without reliable access toa sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food. The state has been improving since thehealthy food act was passed in 2010, when it was eighth.

If three is a crowd, the NewRichmond High School golfteam doesn’t mind. In fact, theLions want to bring some moreto the table.

More in termsofconsecutiveSouthern Buckeye Conferencechampionships, that is.

First-year head coach SteveWolf inherits a team that haswon the last three league titlesand returns every starter froma squad that went 30-8 in 2013.His four seniors have never notwon the SBC and hope to main-tain their streak.

“They’re just picking upwhere they left off last year,”Wolf said. “As a new coach, I’mwalking intoaprettygoodsitua-tion.Thesearesomereallygoodplayers, some really good kids.Not only can they play, but theway theyget along, their coursemanagement and temperamentare all really good.”

The four seniors include de-fending SBC player of the yearChris Mazzaro, 2013 districttournament qualifier BryceKroeger, first teamall-SBCpickKyle Heidledge and secondteam selection Damon Abner.

Also back is Laura Wilson, asophomore playing on the boysteam. Freshman Lane Flammshould make a contributionright away.

“It’s a good thing and it’s abad thing,” Wolf said of havingsuchaveteran team. “It’s agoodthing for this year, obviously.But it’s bad for next year whenthey’re gone. We may get some

morekids out once school starts(Aug. 14). We’ll need that oncethis senior group is gone.”

Winning the SBC a fourthstraight year is the first goal forthe team, but Wolf hopes hissquad can make it out of sec-tionals, too, and advance to dis-tricts as a team.

SHORT HOPS

By Scott Springer andMark D. [email protected]@communitypress.com

The numbers on thecourt are up for the NewRichmond High Schooltennis team. Head coachTerri Flamm hopes thattranslates to increasedwinning numbers on thescoreboard.

The Lions finishedfourth in the SouthernBuckeye Conference lastseason, but “We have a lotof young players with alot of potential,” Flammsaid. “I feel really goodabout having so manykids out this year. We canbe pretty flexible andgive a lot of kids anoppor-tunity.”

Chief among theyoungsters are a pair ofsophomores in TaylorCardarelli -whosteps intothe first singles positionafter playing second sin-gles much of last season -and Krista Reid, who willplay second singles.

Brook Klein, LauraPainter, Lilly Cahall andLexi Jump all return andwill compete for the thirdsingles spot and doublespositions.

Seniors MadisonHoldsworth and HalyeeCurtis, along with sopho-more Maria Steinimetz,are all new to the varsitythis season and bring thedepth to which Flamm re-ferred.

The Ohio High SchoolAthletic Association ad-justed its schedulingrules this season, allow-ing two more matchesthan in years past. Flamm- who said Amelia andWestern Brown are likelythe teams to beat in theSBC - hopes to pick a cou-ple more matches to fillout the expanded sched-ule.

The Lions open on theroad Aug. 12 against Cin-cinnati Hills League con-tender Mariemont andalso will face area squadsfromGlenEsteandMcNi-cholas in addition to theirSBC competition.

Back in the SBC, theAmelia Lady Barons fin-ished 6-4 in the SouthernBuckeye Conference-American Division and12-5 overall in 2013.

Top returners are ju-niors Blake Nelson andAllison Reardon. Nelsonwas first team all-leaguea year ago and Reardonwas second team. RachelDapper, Sydney Cresopand Taylor Meyer willalso provide depth forfirst-year coach BrentJohnson.

Glen Este struggledthrough an 0-12 seasonlast fall, but things couldbe looking up with addi-tional players.

With just three on thesquad, one loss in amatchmeant a team defeat.Now, Madi Duan and Ma-ry Turner are back fromlast year’s team alongwith seven other LadyTrojans giving coachKevin Ammermanenough for full-fledgedmatch.

Highlights of the sea-son include cross-countybattles with Amelia onAug. 20 and Sept. 22.

McNicholas HighSchool went 8-9 last sea-son, but head coach Kath-erine Tyler enters herfourth season with sevenreturning players at herdisposal. Seniors NicoleGeygan and Katie St.Charles, alongwith juniorSally Daoud, are the mostexperienced.

Also back are a quartetof sophomores in LizBeck, Kathleen Finn, Ja-clyn Geygan and EmmaHughes. Sophomore Shel-by Scott and junior Sa-mantha Daoud are varsi-ty newcomers.

“With seven returningplayers who have allgreatly improved, we aremuch stronger than lastyear,” Tyler said. “We’relooking forward toagreatseason.”

“We’ll have a star byall the league matches,”Wolf said. “We’re alsoplaying teams like Mil-ford and Turpin. It’s al-ways good to test your-self against Division Ischools.”

The Lions open theseason Aug. 11, hostingtheEastSide Invitationalat Stillmeadow CountryClub.

The Amelia Baronscoached by Creed Cor-nett finished second inthe Southern BuckeyeConference-AmericanDivision behind thefront-running Lions ofNew Richmond in 2013.Amelia has just one teamfeaturing boys and girlsdue to number restric-tions.

Senior Trent Edwardswas a first-team per-former and junior EvanDaniel was second team.Seniors Sarah Hatcherand Brittany Koehnkeare back representingthegirls andCornett is asoptimistic as he’s been inyears. Freshman ShelbyHatcher is also on thesquad as guy and girlsare combines at severalClermont Countyschools.

“Most of the varsityplayers are seniors andthey look solid,” he said.

Amelia’s quest for aleague title will include across-county grudgematch with Glen EsteAug. 25 at White OakGolf Club.

Glen Este’s boyswere10-7 last year and 3-3 inthe Eastern CincinnatiConference. BrandonGillespie made second-team all-league as a ju-

nior and Tyler Creel wasthird team. Gillespie,Creel and Thomas Zinkwill lead the squad thisschool year.

The Trojans will hostTurpin at White Oak onAug. 27.

TheMcNicholas HighSchool boys golf team isat the front of a youthmovement on the course.Certainlyveteranleader-ship is important to theRockets - senior NickNiehaus enters the sea-son as the number-threestarter - but the bestplayers on the team arethe sophomore trio ofChrisDunne,TyDeBonisand Zane Brownrigg.

Some coaches wouldfreak out at that pros-pect. Rockets second-year varsity head coachJustin Lenczicki wouldnot fall in that categoryas all three started forhim as freshmen, too,helping McNick to a 10-2record and second-placefinish in the GreaterCatholic League Coed.

“I’m super excited,”he said. “They’ve beenthrough it once before.We can’t go out and flyunder the radar this sea-son, but I think they’rereadytogetout thereandbe the leaders.”

Dunnedoes itwith tal-ent. He spent more thantwo weeks at a Coloradohockey camp this sum-mer, came home andover the next two daysput together a two-dayscore of 148 in a GolfWeek tournament. De-Bonnis does itwith hoursof practice, sharpeninghis game on the rangeand putting green.

“In a lot of ways, it’sgood for Chris to be thatgood without a lot ofpracticeandTytohavetowork so hard,” said head

coach Justin Lenczicki.“(Dunne) is such a goodathlete that if he concen-trated just on golf theway Ty does, he could beconsistently under par.

“Ty is working tocatch up to Chris. Zanehas to work to keep upwith Ty. Nick wants tohelp all three of them, es-pecially with the mentalpart of thegame.And thethree new sophomoreswe have, they want to beas good as the otherthree. They really pushone another in practice.”

McNick opened itsseason Aug. 8 in the Indi-an Hill Invitational andbegan GCL play Aug. 11at Shaker Run.

McNick girls headcoachWillyCorbett hasajunior and sophomore -Maria Ciampone and Al-exandra Wells, respec-tively - as his top return-ing scorers. Seniors Mi-chelle Rowekamp andReganPowersneedtoas-sume leadership roles.SophomoresAveryDietzand Molly Smith roundout the roster.

Williamsburg seniorJoshWellswill beback inaction for the Wildcats,whether or not he has ateam around him.

In 2012, Williamsburgwas three strokes off theSouthern Buckeye Con-ference title under coachByron Jody with justfour players on the team.Last year, Wells was theonly player to return.

Jody said he wouldn’tknow for sure if therewouldbeotherplayers tojoinWells - who shot a 99at Walden Pond in thesectional tournamentlast season - until schoolstarted, but thought hisincoming freshmanbrother would join himon the links.

Voters, choices andsacred cows

I am completely puzzled asto how anyone can read what Iwrote and find that I said thatMr. Jim Lewis or those whovoted for him were/are tyran-nical.

I would suggest that GaryMcGee and Dawn Harsley re-read what I said. I also fail tosee how Mr. McGee can cometo the conclusion that I was“trying to refute” what I hadoriginally wrote. On the con-

trary, I stick by what I said 100percent. When voters elect anindividual to office, that is nottyrannical.

One who is elected to office(and, I’m not referring to Mr.Lewis) can be tyrannical. Vot-ers can be tyrannical on issuessuch as imposing their moral/religious values on the minor-ity. To give an example: if themajority managed to get a lawpassed that banned the sale ofmilk because cows are sacredand so is the milk from thosecows, thatwouldbe tyrannical.

ReadwhatJohnAdamssaysabout“TheTyrannyofTheMa-jority.” Google it, it’s out there.

And please stop assumingthat because someone has pro-gressive views in some areasthat they tow a certain agendaacross the board. In someareas I am very conservative.Also, I did not did not personal-ly attack Ms. Harsley as yousaw the need to attack me.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Clermont manwielded powerat state level

Hugh L. Nichols received atelephone call at his Bataviahome from his friend, OhioGov. James Cox. The call wasof historic significance.

The governor greeted Nich-ols with “Good morning, Mr.Chief Justice.” Nichols hadjust been appointed the firstChief Justice of the Ohio Su-preme Court, a position hewould hold from Sept. 22, 1913,until Dec. 31, 1920.

Nichols was born in NewRichmond on March 25, 1865.After graduating from Bata-

via HighSchool, heattended OhioWeslyan Uni-versity. Whilea student atthe Universityof Cincinnatilaw school,Nichols wrotea column forthe CincinnatiEnquirer. He

earned accolades for an exten-sive article he wrote aboutU.S. Grant’s death based oninterviews with the presi-dent’s family and friends.

He began practicing law inBatavia with his brother Allen.Ten years later he was electedto the Ohio Senate.

In 1910 he managed JudsonHarmon’s gubernatorial cam-paign against Warren Har-ding.

Despite the efforts of for-mer President Theodore Roo-sevelt on Harding’s behalf,Harmon won by 100,000 votes.After the election, Nicholsanalyzed the election returns,discovering that Harmon’stotals increased where Roose-velt campaigned. Nicholswired his thanks to the formerpresident.

The next two years werepolitically busy for Nichols.He was appointed lieutenantgovernor by Gov. Judson Har-mon to fill a vacancy and in1911 presided over the OhioSenate bribery trials. Thefollowing year he was electedlieutenant governor on theJames Cox ticket. Also in 1912he gained national attention by

managing Hudson’s unsuc-cessful bid for the Democratpresidential nomination. Hud-son lost to WoodrowWilson,who later defeated both Wil-liam Howard Taft of Cincin-nati and Theodore Roosevelt.

When Nichols became chiefjustice, the Supreme Courtwas faced with significantchallenges, hearing cases on“workers compensation, gov-ernment reorganization, high-way building” and issues in-terpreting Ohio’s new Consti-tution. An observer comment-ed that Nichols’ tenure wascharacterized by his”…tact,diplomacy, fairness, and cour-tesy.” He lost his bid for re-election in the 1920 Repub-lican landslide.

After leaving the bench,Nichols returned to privatepractice, establishing a Cin-cinnati based law firm.

In 1922 Nichols was ap-pointed co-chair of the U.S.Grant Centennial Commission,celebrating Clermont’s favor-ite son’s 100th birthday.

He accepted the appoint-ment upon the condition thatthe Grant cottage be returnedto Point Pleasant from Colum-bus. President Harding wasthe featured speaker at thewell-attended event, wherethe Grant Memorial Bridgewas dedicated.

Nichols was known not onlyfor his political and legal ac-complishments, but for hischaritable acts as well. Inaddition to serving as the longtime president of the Cler-mont County American RedCross, he helped out the un-fortunate in his community.

A tribute stated, “He reallybelieved it was more blessedto give than receive and hepracticed it continuouslythroughout his life…food, coal,and clothing were often deliv-ered by tradesmen to his lessfortunate neighbors, who nev-er knew from whom it came.”

Hugh Nichols died Dec. 29,1942, and is buried in Batavia’sUnion Cemetery.

Gary Knepp is a Batavia attorneywho teaches history and politicalscience at U.C. Clermont. He, hiswife, and daughter, live in MiamiTownship.

Hugh L. Nichols is credited withleading the effort to returnGrant's birthplace to its originalsite in Point Pleasant in 1936.Nichols, a Clermont Countynative, was formerly chief justiceof the Ohio Supreme Court. GREGROBERTS COLLECTION

Gary KneppCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

All the retold Lincoln rousein the Community Press is amassive folly to the local andstate histories.

Why is Lincoln heralded soopenly in a predicated periodas our own? There is a littleknown American figure thatbetter exemplifies pertinentattitude and deserves histori-cal recognition in the paper.

James Polk was not a busi-nessman. Upon graduatingfrom public education, hepreferred clerk duties muchmore than being an attorneyin the sense Lincoln as one.Despite this seemingly de-mure bio, President Polk ac-complished more than Lin-coln, Kennedy, Eisenhower,Truman, Jefferson, T. Roose-velt, Wilson, Taft and BillClinton.

Young Polk was admittedfor the sophomore class at theUniversity of North Carolina,where he graduated with firsthonors in the classics andmathematics in 1818. He thenstudied law under Tennessee’sleading lawyer. In Congress,he supported free public edu-cation, bi-metal money and aConstitutional amendmentgranting the American peoplethe right to elect their resi-dents by a direct popularvote.

Attackedby detractorsas a “menial”and “slave” toAndrew Jack-son, Polk re-signed fromCongress in1839 to strate-gically be-come Ten-nessee’s gov-ernor, and

re-energize the faithful yetbeleaguered state Democraticbase. He successfully becamepresident in 1845 withoutcarrying either North Caroli-na or Tennessee, his “homestates.”

Polk’s eclectic résumé wasan asset at a pivotal Americanpoint: he sympathized withthe policies of Madison, Mon-roe and Jackson rather thanprevailing notions. Polk waslabeled “Young Hickory,”although he was less Jackso-nian and more independentthan what he is portrayed.Polk maximized diplomacy toavoid war with Britain.

WhenMexico almost fell toFrench guardianship, Polkinvoked the Monroe Doctrineagain, making that articula-tion the bedrock of demo-cratic foreign relationshipsfor another century.

He reintroduced the strongIndependent Treasury Systemthat lasted until 1913, and hevetoed unsavory propositionshe deemed at odds with “thevirtue” of America that wouldbe similar to corporate wel-fare, coastal favoritism, andanti-democratic tendenciesreaped from flagrant neocon-servative emotionalism today.The Polk Administration in-tegrated the Oregon country,California and Texas.

A great lover and champi-on of the environment, Polkused his power to ensure thefar reaching expanses of thenation were fertile and virilewith flora. Polk’s team alertlyinitiated the maiden Depart-ment of the Interior. He re-turned home before dyingthree months after leavingoffice.

Polk was an excellent ora-tor. A former Speaker of theU.S. House of Representa-tives, Polk made it known hehad little tolerance for Con-gressional hold-ups. In hisonly four-year term, JamesPolk transcended the discordand noise of the day fortu-nately and naturally, and is adeserving American favorite.

Aug. 6 questionWhat are your favorite desti-

nations at The Banks? How of-ten, if at all, do you visit TheBanks? What would you like tosee there?

“My favorite destination atthe Banks is The Yard House,because, well, I guess I like tomeasure things. I find I fre-quent Newport on the Leveemuchmore than the Banks be-cause there is somuchmore tochoose from. The Banks is anice attempt but it fails to de-liver enough multifaceted en-tertainment options. Bothplaces would be better servedby offering free parking.”

M. J. F.

“I go to The Banks aboutonce amonth. TheBanks’ loca-tion is perfect with the Reds

and Bengals nearby and theParks, the river walk and plen-ty of parking. My favoriteplace there is the MoerleinHouseas itsoverlooks theOhioRiver and Smale Park. Basedon what is going on at TheBanks it seems to have every-thing I need. I look forward to

when it is complete as the con-struction can cause trafficproblems during Reds andBengals games.

“The city will be able toshow it off for the baseball AllStar game next July; good tim-ing. Go Figure!!!

Summerfairacceptingapplications forawards program

During the early sum-mer months, we till andhoe the garden and evenpull up the weeds byhand.

Seems like foreverbefore any of the gardenproduce is ready to eat,

and thenall of asudden,everythingis ripe.Hoeing,tilling andweedingtake a backseat toharvesting.Tomatoes,cucum-

bers, squash, berries,corn, beans are all attheir peak. I need a crewjust to help harvest!

But really, I’m notcomplaining, becausethere is truly nothing likepicking a ripe tomato offthe vine and biting into it,juice running downmychin and all. Or snappingthe ends of freshlypicked green beans andeating a few as I go.

If your garden is bear-ing abundantly, too, you’llappreciate the recipesI’m sharing today.

Fresh tomato tartFriend Terry Halpin is

a busy nurse practitionerand she told me this wasa hit at her house. Somefolks like to squeeze outpart of the juice and seedthe tomatoes before slic-ing so they’re not toojuicy in the tart. Theflour in the bottom of thecrust helps it stay crisp.

1 piecrust1 tablespoon flour8 oz. Mozzarella, Mon-

terey Jack or combo ofboth

Salt and pepper totaste

1/2 to 1 cup mayon-naise, regular or light(start out with 1/2 cup; iftoo thick to spread, add abit more as needed)

3-4 tomatoes, sliced,enough to make a layer

1 nice bunch greenonions, sliced thin

Handful of fresh basil,chopped, about 1/4 cup orso, or 2 scant teaspoonsdry

Preheat oven to 400.Prick crust and prebake

10 minutes. Dust bottomwith flour. Mix cheese,salt and pepper andmayo. Spread thin layerover crust. Lay tomatoslices on top. Spread restof cheese mixture overtomatoes. Sprinkle withgreen onions and basil.Smooth top, pushingonions and basil intocheese mixture. Bakeabout 20 minutes or untilpuffed and golden.

Warm Dijon potatosalad with greenbeans

I’ve mentioned beforethat I’ve worked withDave Lieberman, foodnetwork celebrity andcookbook author. I likeDave’s recipes becausethey are easy and fun toserve. Here’s one of histhat I adapted onlyslightly. I put the salad ona large oval platter in-stead of a bowl. It waspretty and no one had todig to get a spoonful ofboth potatoes and beans.

2-1/2 to 3 pounds Fin-gerling or small red pota-toes

1 pound green beans,trimmed

1/2 generous cup realmayonnaise

2 generous table-

spoons Dijon mustard1 large shallot minced1/4 cup red wine vine-

gar or more to tasteSalt and pepper to

tasteHandful parsley,

Charlie, a Kentucky

reader, wondered how totell when his grilledcorn in the husk wasready to eat. “I pull thehusk back but that’s anuisance”, he said. Fol-low Cook’s Illustratedtip: As soon as the huskpicks up the dark silhou-ette of kernels and be-gins to pull away fromthe tip of the ear, it’sdone.

Howdy Folks,Last Wednesday we

got the chance to go fish-ing and caught a nicebunch of crappie. Thatwill be for some goodeating.

Ruth Ann had a Pet-scan for a spot on herlung, we don’t know theresults yet. We are pray-ing it is nothing serious.

We had a treat lastweek, our daughter Deb-by brought her grand-daughter (our great-granddaughter) Brooklynover and we picked ripetomatoes. I told Ruth Annwhen we planted them Iwould like for her to picksome ripe tomatoes. I gotmy wish. Ruth Ann hasstarted canning tomatoesandmade lime pickles.The garden is starting toproduce ripe tomatoes,cucumbers and zucchini.I picked a basket full ofcranberry beans which is

a shellbean Sun-day after-noon, alsosome romatomatoesand cu-cumbers.

If youwill bearwith me Iam going

to write about my town,Bethel. Friday eveningthere was a special meet-ing to introduce folks tothe museum in the GrantMemorial Building.There has been a lot ofwork done to it and aplaque was dedicated to acouple folks. These twofolks have done a lot tokeep the museum goingand given the honor forall the dedication workthey have done since themuseumwas started in1972.

The town of Bethel is

sprucing up with the newsidewalks, a new watertower and newwaterlines. The old ones havebeen in use for manyyears. They are in theprocess of getting sometelephone lines takendown from over head,and put into conduit un-derground by CincinnatiBell. They are working tomake the area look bet-ter.

There is so much tosee in Bethel, so slowdown and take a goodlook as you come intotown. There are restau-rants for some good food,a fine store the BethelIGA, then a very goodfeed mill with plenty ofall kinds of items, autorepair shops, gas stations,churches, the PickersParadise, the free cloth-ing store, two hardwarestores, and so many oth-ers. I could probably go

on, but you get the pic-ture of my town, so stop,browse and shop a littlewhile. You might be sur-prised at what you findand the warmwelcomeyou will get.

Saturday wemade agallon of pineapple icecream for the Sundayevening program and icecream party the BethelUnitedMethodist Churchhad in their parking lot.This was a great time.

TheMonroe Grangehad their regular cardparty last Saturday eve-ning with a good turn out.Everyone had a goodtime. Ruth Ann and Bon-nie had a meeting of thejunior grangers to finishtheir projects. After theyare judged, the winnersgo to the State GrangeConvention in October.

The OVAMmachineryshow was Aug. 7-Aug. 10.

It was a great event. Thisyear the honor was forInternational Harvesters.The grandMarshall wasRonnie Griffith, he hasbeen a main spoke in thatorganization for manyyears. CongratulationsRonnie from the ole fish-erman and wife. Thisshow is one of the best. Itshows the children howfolks lived and worked inthe good old days.

Now I had better eatbreakfast so I can moweight acres of grass.

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