It’s likely he’s up for the challenge. Bantjes was chosen by Cler- mont County Probate Court Judge James Shriver to fill the seat of the late Mark Merchant. Filling the open seat was a di- visive topic among the current board. Eventually the decision had to be made by Shriver. In announcing his selection of Bantjes during the August meeting, Shriver described him as “a consensus builder.” Bantjes served on a school committee, which is similar to a school board, with the Central Berkshire Regional School Dis- trict in Massachusetts for 15 years. During that time he coor- dinated several building pro- jects, one of which required gaining community support. According to Bantjes, he had to show residents, who at the time wanted to renovate one of the buildings, that it was more cost effective to build a new fa- cility. With a school board divided in a number of areas, Bantjes may once again have to use sim- ilar skills in bridging opposing viewpoints. “(The board members) are on the same page, just different parts of the page,” he said. “I think if they would listen to each other, they would find common ground.” Bantjes said he considers himself conservative when it comes to economic principles. “I’m a financial realist,” he said. “Do we need it? Can we af- ford it? “How are we going to pay for it?” Bantjes said an area he plans to address is declining enroll- ment in the district. However, with West Clermont schools bringing back some of the art and music programs that had been lost because of financial reasons, Bantjes said he antici- pates a number of students will return to the district. He said attention needs to be paid toward meeting the needs of the students themselves. “We have to focus on educat- ing the students and spend time on learning,” he said. Bantjes, who is a resident of Amelia, is a technical manager at Sun Chemical. He is also an inventor who holds five patents. He was sworn in during the Aug. 18 school board meeting.

FORREST SELLERS/THE COMMUNITY PRESS Judy Forman bought two lots on Woodsley Drive in Union Township less than a year ago to build her “forever home” – nev- er dreaming, she said, that the woods in front of her property would be the setting for a neigh- borhood of single-story apart- ments. “You can imagine the horror that I now have and now I’m go- ing to have to move again to get away from that,” Forman said. Forman is one of a group of residents opposed to plans by the Redwood Communities Group to build 286 ranch-style apartment homes – most with at- tached two-car garages –on 67 acres of land just north of the Bach Buxton Road intersection with Clough Pike. The residents cite concerns over traffic, the safety of chil- dren living in homes near the apartments who use school bus stops and property values. Other residents who believe development is inevitable praised the Redwood Communi- ties Group for reducing the number of buildings planned, changing the building align- ment to reduce the amount of blocked views from houses near the apartments and beefing up landscaping buffers. Redwood Communities, which is headquartered in the Cleveland suburb of Beach- wood, already had committed to keep 28 acres there undevel- oped. “Of course, we’d all like to see nothing ever go in there, but that’s not realistic,” said Linda Cunningham of Woodchase Trail. “We’d just like to maintain as much of the beautiful woods that we have as possible.” The Union Township Board of Trustees recently agreed to rezone the land for the apart- ments from mostly “estate resi- dential” with a sliver of “planned development” to “planned development” only. “With planned development zoning for this project, we have a say and we can make sure that those things presented and ap- proved go in there,” Trustee Matthew Beamer said. “That’s something we can hold the developer of this pro- ject to.” The Redwood Communities Group owns and manages 4,500 apartment units in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan, said John Lau- teulere, senior vice president of development with Redwood Acquisition. Lauteulere said the complex Redwood Com- munities wants to build in Union Township would be its first in the Greater Cincinnati area. All the 11,000-square-foot to 1,400-square-foot apartments with red siding will have two bedrooms and two bathrooms, Lauteulere said. Lauteulere ex- pects empty nest- ers, some young professionals and very few children to live in the development, where the month- ly rent will be $1,200 to $1,500. “These are largely people looking for a maintenance-free lifestyle,” Lauteulere said. “They want to lock and go.” The property now is home to the Mt. Carmel Christian Church, which is building just south of it. It is mostly vacant land and sits between residential proper- ty to the north and industrial property to the south. “We did change from a three- building design that paralleled the residential (use) to the north to a two-building design that’s kind of at an angle to that,” Lau- teulere said. “That was at the request of the neighbors (who asked if we) could move the building farther away from the property line.” John McGraw, chairman of the Union Township Board of Trustees, said the Clermont County engineer will do a man- datory traffic-impact study in the area and that township offi- cials will be eager to see the re- sults. “One of the things I want to make sure is studied and looked at is the safety of the kids get- ting on the buses there,” McGraw said. “I don’t know if a stop sign could be put there, a roundabout or even an island to slow traffic down.” Want to know more about what is happening in (x)?

UNIONTWP.—NewWestCler-mont school board memberJohn Bantjes may have to playthe role of mediator. It’s likelyhe’s up for the challenge.

Bantjes was chosen by Cler-mont County Probate CourtJudge James Shriver to fill theseat of the lateMarkMerchant.

Filling the open seatwas adi-visive topic among the currentboard. Eventually the decisionhad to be made by Shriver.

In announcing his selectionof Bantjes during the Augustmeeting, Shriver describedhimas “a consensus builder.”

Bantjes served on a schoolcommittee, which is similar to aschool board, with the CentralBerkshire Regional School Dis-trict in Massachusetts for 15years.During that timehe coor-dinated several building pro-jects, one of which requiredgaining community support.

According to Bantjes, he hadto show residents, who at thetime wanted to renovate one ofthe buildings, that it was morecost effective to build a new fa-cility.

With a school board divided

in a number of areas, Bantjesmayonce again have to use sim-ilar skills in bridging opposingviewpoints.

“(The board members) areon the same page, just differentparts of the page,” he said. “Ithink if theywould listentoeachother, they would find commonground.”

Bantjes said he considershimself conservative when itcomes to economic principles.

“I’m a financial realist,” hesaid. “Dowe need it? Canwe af-ford it?

“Howarewegoing to pay forit?”

Bantjes said an area he plansto address is declining enroll-

ment in the district. However,with West Clermont schoolsbringing back some of the artand music programs that hadbeen lost because of financialreasons, Bantjes said he antici-pates a number of students willreturn to the district.

He said attention needs to bepaid toward meeting the needs

of the students themselves.“We have to focus on educat-

ing the students and spend timeon learning,” he said.

Bantjes, who is a resident ofAmelia, is a technical managerat Sun Chemical. He is also aninventorwhoholds fivepatents.

He was sworn in during theAug. 18 school board meeting.

Village officials couldopt out of a federal grantprogram tied to low-in-come housing because oflanguage in a proposedagreement with Cler-mont County.

Administrator DennisNichols said the countyexpects to receive moremoney from the Commu-nity Development BlockGrant in the coming

years, and Batavia couldapply for grants to helpfund various projects.

Though nothing is set,he suggested the moneycould be used for side-walks onVictoria Avenueor to help renovate theBatavia Ridge Club, a lo-cal pool and recreationarea.

Community Develop-ment Block Grants are aU.S. Housing and UrbanDevelopment programthat gives money to local

communities to help witheverything from elimi-nating blighted areas toexpanding services.

County officials ad-minister the grants, andmunicipalities or town-ships have to sign cooper-ation agreements to be el-igible for funding.

It’s the language ofthat agreement thatdoesn’t sit well withCouncilwoman ElizabethMason.

“The agreement tellsus how to run our policedepartment in order toqualify for the grants,which I think is absolutenonsense,” she said.

“My experience withthe county is that theseare maladministered andI want nothing to do withthem.”

Specific language inthe proposed agreementstates that the village,within its jurisdiction,will adopt and enforce “apolicy prohibiting the useof excessive force by lawenforcement agencies …against any individualsengaged in non-violentcivil rights demonstra-tions.”

It further states thevillage will enforce laws

against “physically bar-ring entrance to or exitfrom a facility or loca-tion” that is subject tothese demonstrations.

Nichols said he agreedthat it is generally not agood grant program, but“the advantage to us is,it’s free money.”

Councilman Steve Sta-ton was cautious aboutthat statement and saidtheEastForkdamremov-alwas delayed “for a yearbecause of different phi-losophies related to freemoney.”

He also said it was un-likely the agreementcould be rewritten to bemore favorable to Bata-via because it is a federalprogram.

Other stipulations inthe cooperation agree-ment include restrictionson the village applyingfor several other grantprograms unless it isthrough the county; giv-ing control to county offi-

cials for making deci-sions about recommend-ed projects; not restrict-ing community renewaland lower income hous-ing assistance activities;andreturningany incomegenerated from spendingblock grant funds to Cler-mont County.

Batavia Council’sagendahad the resolution

set for an emergency ap-proval, which removestherequirement for threeseparate readings.

Council, however,elected to have the firstreading and not vote onthe resolution.

It will be brought backto council at the nextmeeting, set for 7 p.m.Monday, Aug. 4.

BATAVIA — The execu-tive director of the Cler-mont County VeteransService Commissionwants to remind IraqWarveterans that time is run-ning out to apply for anIraqWar Bonus.

Amilitary veteranwhowas an Ohio resident atthe start of active dutyservice has until the endof the year to apply for abonus of up to $1,000. Thebonus goes away Dec. 31.

Clermont County has16,156 military veteransliving there, but the Cler-mont County VeteransService Commissiondoesn’t have a breakdownof how many served inIraq.

“The newer veteransgetting out sometimesdon’t realize that this bo-nus exists,” said HowardDaugherty, executive di-rector of the ClermontCounty Veterans ServiceCommission.

Ohio voters approvedthe bonus in 2009, just asthey approved a similar

benefit afterWorldWars Iand II, Korea and Viet-nam.

Besides being an Ohioresident at the start of ac-tive duty service, as wellas at the timehe or she ap-plies for the bonus, a vet-eran must meet the fol-lowing qualifications.

The veteranmust havebeen separated from theArmed Forces under hon-orable conditions.

An active duty service

member also is eligible,and that applicant is eligi-ble if he or she remains inany reservecomponent ofthe armed forces, includ-ing the Ohio NationalGuard.

An eligible veteran oractive duty service mem-ber may receive $100 foreach month spent on ac-tive duty service betweenMarch 19, 2003 and Dec.31, 2011 in Iraq. Eligibleveterans who served inAfghanistan since Oct. 7,2001 also can apply for abonus for up to threeyears after the Presidentdeclares an end to U.S. in-volvement in Afghani-stan.

For information, callthe Clermont County Vet-erans Service Commis-sion at 513-732-7363 orcheck the Ohio Veteransbonus details online atveteransbonus.ohio.govthrough the Ohio Depart-ment of Veterans Ser-vices.

BATAVIA TWP— . A res-olution regulating noise inBatavia Township may goquietly into the night.

Trustees seemed reti-cent to adopt an updatedresolution to a similar onepassed in 2001.

Chris Moore, who pro-vides legal counsel for thetownship, presented anew resolution during theAugust meeting.

The new resolutionwas spurred followingcomplaints by BataviaTownship resident

GeorgeWheatonregardingsound lev-els duringachurchsportscampat thepark by thecommunity

center.Hesaidbass levelsemanating from thecamp, which ran fromJune 22 to June 27, wereexcessive.

Wheaton, who livesabout half amile from thepark, hadvoicedconcernsto council prior to the Au-gust meeting.

He said at certainpoints his walls were vi-brating.

“All we’re asking is thebass be turned down,” hesaid.

Wheaton was the onlyresident to express con-cerns about the noise dur-ing the August meeting.

The resolution wouldimpose a penalty forsound that is “plainly au-dible” from a distance of150 feet or more. Thiswouldbeanadditionto theprevious resolution.

Trustees, though, werereluctant to pass the reso-lution.

“We want to be goodneighbors, but we don’twant to handcuff our-selves,” Trustee James

Sauls Jr. said, adding thatthe 150 foot restrictionmade him somewhat ner-vous, especially in regardto athletic events.

Sauls said this was aunique situation thatcould potentially be re-solved by simply turningdown the bass if neces-sary.

Trustee Bill Dowdneyagreed.

“Personally, I don’twant to addregulationsonregulations,” he said.

The sports camp wassponsored by ConnectChristian Church.

Julie Bach, a sportscamp director with thechurch, said the park bythe community center isthe best place for theevent but an effort would

be made to control basslevels.

“We will work with thetownshipboard,” she said.“I don’t believe it will bean issue next year.”

Wheaton, though, saidhe feels the current legis-lation could be updated soit has more “teeth.”

“I think the (resolu-tion) passed in 2001 isvague and outdated,” hesaid.

Wheaton said he hopesnoise will not be an issuein the future.

“I am cautiously opti-mistic that Christianbrotherhood will prevailand there will not be aproblem next year,” hesaid.

Noactionon theresolu-tion was taken .

SHORT HOPS

By Scott Springer andMarkD. [email protected]@communitypress.com

CLERMONTCOUNTY—Havingseniors on the squad might beoverrated. At least if you havegood underclassmen.

The Williamsburg HighSchool volleyball team has ex-actly zero seniors on the11-play-erroster - to saynothingofanewhead coach in Shari McKibben -but the youthful Wildcats don’tseem to mind.

While new to the varsity headcoaching position, McKibbenhas been around the program along timecoachingon theJVandmiddle school levels. This sea-son, in fact,marks the third timeshe has coached most of the ju-niors on her team.

Among those juniors, onlyde-fensive specialist CourtneyMaupin played for the Wildcatslast season.OutsidehitterGraceFishback returns after playingher freshman year. Right-sideand middle hitter SamanthaRuehle transferred in from Chi-cago and jumped into a startingrole.

Sophomore middle hitter Au-brey Young has missed sometime early in the season with aninjury, but classmate andcoach’s daughter Emily McKib-ben has picked up some of theslack from the outside. Neithersophomore setter Calie Brownnor freshman counterpart Pey-ton Fisher have varsity experi-ence, but both are working wellin the 6-2 scheme.

Another freshman, CarlyWa-gers, leads the team so far inblocks, kills and digs from hermiddle hitter position.

“We are a very strong, ag-gressive team,” McKibben said.“We have a big front row, butwe’re very versatile. We couldwork on our passing - that’s kindofbeenourproblem- to takebet-ter advantage of our size.”

The Wildcats were 6-1through their fist seven match-es, including wins against Divi-sion I Princeton and a strongNorth Adams team. The loss,though, came against ClermontNortheastern, the team thatedged Williamsburg out of theSouthern Buckeye ConferenceNational title last season.

“”I’m not too worried aboutthat this early in the season,”McKibben said of the four-setmatch Aug. 26. “It was prettyclose and we did win a set. We’llsee them again (specifically athome Sept. 25). We’re a youngteam.Wecanonlyget better. I’mlooking forward to what thisteam can be by the end of theseason.”

TheAmelia Lady Barons fin-ished 8-13 (4-6 Southern Buck-eye Conference-American Divi-sion) last season behind Goshenand league co-champs WesternBrown and Norwood.

Senior Hannah Fletcher re-turns as a SBAAC-Americansecond team all-star.

Rounding out the squad areseniors Elizabeth Kelly, LindaAult, Diana Jordan, KamaCharles, Alyssa Henson andAlex Scholl; and juniors AshleyFraley, Kassidy Keiser, MaddieBoyd and Taylor Hartness.

Amelia has had early winsagainst Middletown MadisonandNorwood.On thehorizon is ahomematchwithBataviaSept. 4and a trip to Western BrownSept. 9.

The Batavia Bulldogs aren’t

the only area team with a newcoach. Kim McCarty left Wil-liamsburg to take the Bataviaposition left open by the retire-ment of another former ‘Burgcoach, Ken Stewart.

She inherits a team that was10-13 last seasonandwent a level5-5 in the SBC National whilecoming in third behind CNE andWilliamsburg.

Batavia moved into the SBCAmerican this season; it’s been astruggle in the early going. TheBulldogs were 1-5 through theirfirst six matches, including apair of league losses to NewRichmond and Goshen Aug. 26and 28, respectively. The lonevictorycamein theAug.18open-er against White Oak.

The Bulldogs are on the roadagainst Amelia Sept. 4 and Nor-wood Sept. 9 before coming

home to face Georgetown Sept.11.

The Glen Este Lady Trojanscoached by Cheryl Korfhagenimproved to a winning record of13-10 last season (6-6 EasternCincinnati Conference). GlenEste won their opening tourna-mentgamewithWalnutHills be-fore bowing out against LakotaEast last October.

Sophomore setter GraceMadden is expected to be a keyplayer along with Korfhagen’sseniors Allie Flanigan, AlyssaBrinkman, Amanda Fleckinger,MadiLibengood,DannieAtmoreand Ellory Overcast.

“Wehaveanicegroupofgirlswho work hard and have to fillsomebig shoesof last year’s sen-iors,” Korfhagen said. “We havesome very tough teams in ourleague. We’ll have to overcomesome of our weaknesses quicklyand work on them to bestrengths ifwewant tostaycom-petitive.”

Glen Este began their seasonwith a win at Colerain Aug. 18.Upcoming games are a homematch with Turpin Sept. 4 and atrip to Cincinnati Hills ChristianAcademy Sept. 6.

TheMcNicholasHigh Schoolvolleyball teamwill focus on thelittle picture early this seasonbefore broadening its scope.

The Rockets won the GirlsGreater Cincinnati League CoedCentral last season with a 10-4record.Their17-9 overall recordpropelled them into theDivisionII regional finals, just a stepaway from the state final four.

Five seniors from that teamgraduated, including GGCLCentral player of the year Han-nah Taylor. Setter Emily Bloem-er is the only senior who was aregular starter last year, but shehas plenty of younger talentaround her where she can dis-tribute the ball.

OUR ELECTIONSLETTERS,COLUMNS POLICY

The loss of a loved one bysuicide is often shocking,painful, and unexpected,causing intense grief andoverwhelming emotions.

The recent death of RobinWilliams affected millions ofpeople in just that way, peoplebeyond his family and closefriends who were touched byhis incredible acting skills.Williams was often describedas a comic genius, bringinglaughter to so many throughhis movie roles and stand-uproutines, and yet we havelearned that he was dealingwith severe depression. Itseems incomprehensible thata man who spent his life mak-ing others happy would him-self be dealing with deep sad-ness.

But Williams is just one ofalmost 39,000 Americans whotake their own lives each year.Two years ago, suicide be-came the leading cause ofdeath by injury in the UnitedStates, surpassing car acci-dents, and 50% more people

die each yearby suicidethan by homi-cide. Whilethere havebeen im-provementsin attitudestoward men-tal illness, so-cial stigmaand lack of

real understanding still re-main.

Perhaps the tragic newsabout Williams will lead tolarger conversations aboutbecoming aware of mentalhealth issues, recognizing andtreating mental illness, andlearning the warning signsand effective interventions toprevent suicide. Experts be-lieve that most individualscontemplating suicide don’twant to die; they just want toend their pain. Lives can besavedwhen suicidal risk or in-tent is detected early.

National Suicide Preven-tion Week is an annual week-

long campaign in the UnitedStates to inform and engagehealth professionals and thegeneral public about suicideprevention and the warningsigns of suicide. This year itoccurs from Sept. 8-13 and thetheme is “Suicide Prevention:One World Connected.” Thefocus is on raising awarenessthat suicide is a major pre-ventable cause of prematuredeath on a global scale, as sui-cide claims one million livesper year worldwide. By draw-ing attention to the problemofsuicide in the United States,the national campaign alsostrives to reduce the stigmasurrounding the topic, as wellas encourage the pursuit ofmental health assistance andsupport people who have at-tempted suicide.

InClermontCounty, theSu-icide Prevention Coalitionwill host its 13th annual can-dlelight vigil from 7 p.m. to8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 10,at Union Township VeteransMemorial Park, at the corner

of Clough Pike and Glen Este-Withamsville Road. The vigilis held to rememberandhonorthe lives of those individualslost to suicide in our countyover the past year. Anyonewhose life has been touchedby suicide is welcome to at-tend.

Clermont County has a 24/7crisis hotline that is availableto anyonewho is experiencingamental healthcrisis,whohasa loved one dealing with men-tal illness, or who just needssomeone to talk with abouttheir mental health issues:528-SAVE (7283). Pleasereach out, or tell others whoneed it about the crisis line, asthere is hope and there is helpto lead to recovery.

For more information, con-tact the Clermont CountyMental Health and RecoveryBoard at 732-5400(www.ccmhrb.org).

Aug. 27 questionHave you participated in the

ALS ice bucket challenge? Whatdo you think of the effort?

“Former Boston Collegebaseball player Pete Frateshas ALS. He is given much ofthe credit for the ALS icebucket challenge for the cureof ALS. Due to social media(e.g. you tube) the contribu-tions have gone from $3 mil-lion last year to $60-80 millionthis year depending on whoyou believe. These “you tube”videos moved me to send in adonation. They did not moveme to perform the deed how-ever or challenge others, yet.Go Figure!”

T.D.T.“I have not. Yet. This phe-

nomenon has gone viral andappears to be a huge moneyraiser for ALS, certainly aneedy cause. It appearsthough that the ‘rules’ are notwell known by all, includingme. If the person takes thebucket load over their headthen they only have to donate$10, but if they do not get wetthey have to donate $100. Oth-ers have taken it to meandump the water and then youdon’t have to donate, a form ofslacktivism (according to Wi-kipedia).

“It seems itwould be betterto make the largest donationyou are comfortable with re-gardless of whether you takethe liquid chill route. Beaware though that on Aug. 22,the Detroit Free Press report-ed that scammerswere takingadvantage of the challenge.The scam usually involves

sending an email containingpromises of watching videosof the challenge and then in-stalling either spyware ormalware on the user’s com-puter or taking them to a fakewebsite where they are askedto enter personal information.

“Go ahead, accept the chal-lenge, make a donation andchill.”

T.D.T.

Aug. 20 questionShould schools continue to

teach cursive writing? Why orwhy not?

“The one aspect of cursivethat is very helpful is for tak-ing notes during a class or lec-ture. By its very nature it is aform of free-flow writing thatallows information to be writ-ten down quicker than if onewere to resort to printing outnotes. However, asmore tech-nology comes on line, the needto take notes by hand may goby the wayside.

“However, I still think cur-sive has value as another toolfor students to quickly notatefacts, concepts or ideas. Idon’t think it should totally beleft off the teaching agenda.”

J.A.

“No, cursive is just part ofthe right wing agenda to tryand drag education back intothe dark ages with out-of-datemethods of learning. Nextthey’ll want to bring back theslide rule.”

Charles Smithson

“I think ceasing to teachcursive is a bad idea becausethemore avenues people havefor communication the betteroff the United States will be.

“This doesn’t mean everyindividual has to write in cur-sive every day. This doesn’tmean IMs, tweets and Emailsare bad. I would point out,however, the Achilles’ heel ofelectronics is electricity, andthe weakness of the Internetis, well, the internet!

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…

CARF Internationalhas accredited that theClermont County Boardof Developmental Dis-abilities for three yearsin the following areas:child and youth services;community employmentservices – employmentsupports; communityemployment services –job development; com-munity integration; em-

ployment planning ser-vices; organizational em-ployment services, andservice coordination.

This accreditation de-cision represents thehighest level of accredi-tation that can be award-ed to an organization andshows CCDD’s substan-tial conformance to theCARF standards.

An organization re-

ceiving a three-year ac-creditation has put itselfthrough a rigorous peerreview process.

It has demonstrated toa team of surveyors dur-ing an on-site visit itscommitment to offeringprograms and servicesthat are measurable, ac-countable, and of thehighest quality.

“This is the sixth con-

secutive three-year ac-creditation that we havereceived from CARF,”said Sharon Woodrow,CCDD superintendent.“We’re very, very proudbecause this means weare committed to quali-ty.”

The CARF surveyteamspent three days as-sessing the various ser-vices provided byCCDD.

During this time, theymet with families, spokewith employers whohave hired people fromCCDD andinterviewed individualswho receive agency ser-vices.

Among the strengthsthat were cited in the fi-nal report were the sur-veyors’ recognition ofCCDD’s strategic plan-

ning process, experi-enced leadership team,the agency’s strong em-phasis on health andsafety, online employeetraining programs andtechnology system plan-ning.

Additionally, CCDDwas recognized for its ef-forts to remain heavilyinvolved in communitycivic organizations.

CCDD awarded three-year CARF accreditation

I had to laugh as myhusband, Frank, and Itromped over to neighbor

Tony’shomeacross thefield topick, of allthings,corn.

It mademechucklebecausewe plantedour corn

several times and onlygot a spotty harvest. Thevoles ate most of theseed. Frank plowed bothour field and Tony’s andhelped plant Tony’s, aswell. Not one vole madeit across the field to To-ny’s. I guess they werehappily fed here at home.We picked a wheelbar-row full in the morningand by afternoon, it wasshucked, blanched, re-moved from the cob andfrozen. A nice accom-plishment.

Although our cornharvest was a disappoint-ment, our potatoes did

well. After sampling15-year-old Mary Cau-dill’s potato salad at aneighborhood gathering,I couldn’t wait to digsome up and make it.

Creamy potatosalad

Mary found this reci-pe in one of her mom’s“old” cookbooks. “Old” toMary is anything before2000. This was in a BetterHomes & Garden cook-book from1981. Not soold to me! Here’s myslight adaptation.

6 medium potatoes,about 2 pounds or so - Ilike red or Yukon gold

1 cup thinly slicedcelery

1/2 cup finely choppedonion

1/3 cup chopped sweetor dill pickle - I like dill

1-1/4 cups real mayon-naise

2 teaspoons sugar2 teaspoons celery

seed2 teaspoons vinegar2 teaspoons prepared

mustard1-1/2 teaspoons salt

3 hard-cooked eggs,coarsely chopped

Cook potatoes in boil-ing salted water for 25minutes or until tender.Drain. When they arecool enough to handle,peel and cube. Add cel-ery, onion and pickleCombine mayonnaise,sugar, celery seed, vine-gar, mustard and salt.Pour over potatoes andmix well. Stir in eggs.Cover and chill thorough-ly.

Health tips fromRita’s kitchen:

Potatoes contain vita-min C for your immunesystem and potassiumfor healthy hearts andmuscles.

Egg yolks containvitamin D for bonehealth.

Easy corn souffléThis is different than

the norm, as it containscheese. Sometimes I’llthrow in a

palm-full of choppedchives, as well. I thinkyou’ll like it!

3 large eggs3 tablespoons flour1 generous tablespoon

sugarSeveral grindings of

black pepper16 oz. can creamed

style corn2 cups fresh corn or

frozen, thawed anddrained

4 oz. shreddedMex-ican cheese blend orMonterey Jack

1/2 red bell pepper,chopped or 2 oz. jar pi-mientos, drained (option-al)

1/3 cup milkPreheat oven to 350.

Spray an 8-inch bakingdish. Place in oven whilepreparing soufflé. Withmixer, combine eggs,flour, sugar and peppertogether and then beat onhigh speed until smooth.Stir in both kinds of corn,cheese, peppers if usingand milk. Pour into hotbaking dish and bake,uncovered, 55 minutes oruntil set. Let stand 15minutes before serving.

Did you know?

Corn is not a vegeta-ble, as most of us think,but a grain. It’s a goodsource of protein andfiber.

asked how to dry freshherbs. You can do it acouple of different ways.The old fashioned way isto strip about an inch ortwo of leaves from thebottom of the stems, thentake several sprigs andhang them up togetherupside down (remember,nutrition starts in theroot and works its way upto stems and leaves) tiedwith string or a rubberband, to dry away from

moisture and light.Or strip leaves from

stem, chop coarsely andplace in single layer onscreen or towel to dry.You’ll know they’reready when they arecrisp. Store away fromheat and light.

Rising utility rates areprompting many Ohioansto consider switching toalternative energy pro-viders. Many are findingthe low rates for whichthey initially signed updidn’t remain that way.

Larry Dowler of Liber-ty Township says therates charged by hisalternative energy sup-plier, Cincinnati BellEnergy, varied very littlefor about two years.

“It was around 6 centsper kilowatt hour,” Dow-ler said.

The rate Dowler paidwas in line with that

charged byDuke Ener-gy Ohio –until latelast year.

He says,“I didn’treallyrealize itbut it wentto 8.99cents per

kilowatt hour and thendid the same thing forthe January billing.”

That higher electriccharge meant Dowler’sutility bills started tosoar for his all-electrichome.

“It went to $600 forthe February bill. I said,‘Wait a minute.’ I startedresearching it and foundit went from 6.15 centsper kilowatt hour to 8.99cents then to 9.99 centsfor two months,” Dowlersays.

Dowler called Cincin-nati Bell Energy to com-plain and learned he hadbeen switched to a vari-able rate when the fixedrate, for which he hadsigned up, ended.

Dowler isn’t alone.Many people with vari-able energy rates alsosaw their bills jump. He

says Cincinnati Bell En-ergy told him it raisedrates just as other com-panies had done.

The Duke Energy billhas an area called “Priceto Compare” which tellsyou howmuch Duke ischarging for electricitythat month. Dowler saysafter checking that ratehe realized he’d beencharged a total of $600more than if he hadstayed with Duke Ener-gy.

I saw this first handafter I signed up with analternative natural gassupplier. The advertisedrate was very low but itonly lasted a fewmonths.Sure enough, right afterthat guaranteed low rateperiod ended I wascharged more thanDuke’s price because Inow had a variable rate.

There are 47 differentenergy suppliers certi-fied to serve Duke Ener-gy Ohio customers. Manyof those companies offervariable rates, so Dowlersays he’s learned it’s agood idea to carefullycheck your bill everymonth.

Dowler says, “I talkedto a friend at church andsaid, ‘Do you realize this?Did you check your bill?’He got his next bill andhis was 8.99 cents perkilowatt hour. Previouslyit was 5.8 cents per kilo-watt hour.”

A Cincinnati Bell En-ergy spokeswoman saidthe high winter rateswere driven by an unusu-al spike in demand due tothe extremely coldweather in much of thenation.

AWANA OUTREACH

Clough Pike Baptist has completed the first year of itsAWANA club. Before starting this ministry the churchhad an average of seven children for Wednesdaynight service. That has increased to an average of 38,with a high of 48. Kade and Kalena Jackson of Bataviahold the AWANA flag. PROVIDED

Howdy Folks,The Bethel Lions Club

learned at the last meet-ing they can collect usedhearing aids to be givento the St. Rita’s Schoolfor the Deaf to be recy-cled into usable hearingaids for their students. Soif you have any you wantto donate give them to aLions ClubMember. TheLions Club along withMonroe Grange are stillcollecting used eyeglass-es to be taken to thirdworld countries. So youcan give them to us also.

The plans are in theworks for our pancakebreakfasts. The first onewill be in October thedate is not definite yet.We will let you know.

We stopped afterchurch Sunday atFrisch’s with a couplefriends, Dennie andElaine from church, fordinner. I saw a youngfeller drive a car close tothe restaurant and getout. An elderly couple gotin the car and drove off. Isaid to the young fellerthat was a wonderfulthing you did for thosefolks, he said thanks. Hethen said they are mygrandparents. That iswonderful for the young-er generation to thinkthat much of their grand-parents to take the timeto do this, thanks youngfeller from the ole fisher-man.

We had one of the boysmymother raised stopand get some “maters,”cucumbers and a jar ofgrape jelly the othermorning as he was going

home fromwork. Hewas veryhappy.

Lastweek wewere goingto the doc-tor ap-pointment.When wegot to

Amelia the traffic wasbacked up in all fourlanes. When traffic start-ed to move we saw therewas a flock of geesewalking across the road.It is wonderful folks willgive the wildlife a chanceand not try to hurt them.There are a lot of babydeer and turkey’s thatdon’t pay attention to avehicle so watch out forthem.

Now for some newsthat is not real happy.Ruth Ann has three spotsof cancer on her rightlung, which came fromthe cancer she had on herleg three years ago. Thedoctors have been watch-ing this regularly thepast two weeks. We wereat the hospital last Fridayfor her to get a port putin for the chemo. Ourdaughter Debby has beentaking us to the doctorsand hospitals. She can getaway fromwork andsometimes take a laptopwith her. Our otherdaughter Pauline can’t dothat.

We have been makingdoctor and hospital visitsfor the treatment. We gotthere at 11:30 a.m., theyprepped her for the 1:30procedure. Well there

was a delay and mix up inthe operating room so itwas 5:30 p.m. before itwas done. We didn’t getout of there until 7 p.m. Itwas so cold in that areathe nurses were evencomplaining. Ruth Annhad three blankets onher, Debby and I eachhad a blanket. When theygave them to us theywere nice and warm. Thenurses were wonderfuland kept apologizing forthe delay.

We went last Mondayfor the first treatment.There were several folksin the room that weregetting their treatmentstoo. Some of the folksrecognized me and wemade a hit. One ladycalled me the whistler.That was an experienceany time we can do some-thing to bring a laugh it isspecial. Chester seems toknow something is wrongbecause he is sure lovingto Ruth Ann. He checkson her several timesduring the night.

For some better news,Ruth Ann and I wentfishing last Thursdayevening to a private lakeand caught some finecrappie. We haven’t beenon the East Fork Lake fortwo years.

I had a feller call. Hehad cut a dead tree andthere were honey bees inthe top of the tree. Hesaid he didn’t know hislegs would work as goodas they did carrying himaway from the bees. I putmy jacket on and tied mypants legs so the bees

could not crawl up mylegs, now that might havebeen interesting. I took achain saw and cut the log.This feller had broughthis tractor with a bucketon it so when I got the logcut I picked it up with thebucket and carried to ourtruck. Ruth Ann stayedin the truck with thewindows rolled up. Whenwe got home with thebees I put the log onsome cement blocks. Thebees seem to be fineafter everything calmeddown.

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