De facto Union Townshipfirefighters’ contract approved

TheUnionTownshipBoardofTrustees recently and unani-mously signed off on a contractwitha firefighters’ union that in-cludes1percentraises ineachofthe three years of its duration.

The contract already was be-ing followed; it expired lastDec.31 and the raises were undercutby an increase in the number ofdays firefighters must work an-nually.

“There is no retroactive payforthcoming,” said MichaelSmith, president of the UnionTownship Professional Fire-fighters Association, Interna-tional Association of Fire Fight-ers Local 3412.

“Our current contract hasbeen followed over the pastthree years while not being

signed until re-cently when theconciliator is-sued orders onthe articles pre-sented to him.”

During thosethree years,

Union Township and the fire-fighters have been locked incontentious negotiations withcharges and counter-charges ofunfair labor practices.

The battle landed before afact-finder, the Clermont Coun-ty Common Pleas Court and theState Employment RelationsBoard ofOhiowith the townshipand firefighters splitting winsand losses.

“Thedelay in signing thecon-tractwasdue to legal challengesby both the township and the lo-cal due to the interpretations ofan order by the state concilia-

tor,” Smith said.“The contract

was orderedthrough concilia-tion following therules of the StateEmployment Re-lations Board.”

Union Township Administra-tor Ken Geis said, “The onlything I have to say is this is anagreement that was negotiatedsome time ago and we’re finallyat a point to where it’s appropri-ate for the board of trustees toexecute it.”

The Union Township Profes-sional Firefighters Association,InternationalAssociationofFireFighters Local 3412 representstwo firefighter/emergencymedical technicians, 32 fire-fighter/paramedics and 15 lieu-tenants.

The recently approved con-

tract sets the annual base ratesof pay for:

» Firefighter/emergencymedical technicians at betweennearly $39,600 and just over$52,000.

» Firefighter/paramedics atbetween nearly $48,600 and justover $62,700.

» Lieutenants at either justover $64,800 or just over$66,400.

Union Township firefightersare not paid onbase rates of pay.

Their hourly rates are fig-ured by dividing the base ratesby the number of hours they arescheduled to work in a year,Smith said.

UNION TOWNSHIP — Amonth after comic Robin Wil-liams made headlines with hissuicide, the Clermont CountySuicide Prevention Coalition ishosting its 13th annual candle-light vigil to pay tribute toloved ones lost to suicide in thepast year.

The Sept. 10 vigil in UnionTownship Veterans MemorialPark will feature a ceremoniallighting of candles, a balloonrelease and a performance byWest Clermont By-Requestchoir.

During 2013, ClermontCounty lost 31 residents to sui-cide, said Lee Ann Watson, as-sociate director of the Cler-mont County Mental Health &Recovery Board, which is co-sponsoring the vigil with theClermont County Suicide Pre-vention Coalition. So far thisyear, that number stands at 18.

Warning signs may includea loss of interest in activitiespreviously enjoyed, an in-crease in isolation, the givingaway of possessions, loss of re-lationships, ahistoryofdepres-sion and/or alcohol and sub-stance abuse, impulsive or ag-

gressive tendencies and a fam-ily history of suicides.

This will mark the secondyear thatMt. Orab resident Ta-ressa Ingle has attended Cler-mont County’s vigil.

“I was coming home from asupport group meeting when Iheard the news about RobinWilliams,” said Ingle, who pre-

UNION TWP. — A NagelMiddle School teacherwanted other parents tofeel they weren’t alone.

When her son, Truman,was born, Tara Johnstonsaid she and her husbandfound they were havingdifficulty communicatingwith him.

She found that some-thing as simple as eatingpresentedhimwithachal-lenge. Seeking help sheeventually discoveredTruman,who is now4, hadApraxia of speech, whichis a condition that impactsmotor skills and the abili-ty to communicate.

“You have a child diag-nosed with anything, andright away you are con-cerned,” said Johnston,who is an Eastgate resi-dent. “Right away wewanted answers, andthere really weren’t any.”

Johnston said even as ateacher she was unfamil-iarwithApraxia.Throughresearch and the assis-tance of an Ohio Depart-ment of Health programcalled “Help Me Grow,”Johnston eventually gotsome of the answers she

sought.In an effort to help oth-

erparentswhomaybeinasimilar situation, lastyearJohnston organized Tru-man’s Trek and Trot, aWalk for Children withApraxia of Speech.

TheeventwillbeSatur-day, Sept. 13, at UnionTownship Veteran’s Me-morial Park, 906 CloughPike. Registration willstart at 9 a.m. followed bya5Kat9:30a.m. andaone-

to two-mile walk at 10:15a.m. A variety of other ac-tivities including cornhole and face painting areplanned.

Proceeds raised at theevent will go to the Child-hood Apraxia of SpeechAssociation of NorthAmerica.

Last year, $20,000 wasraised for the organiza-tionwith about 400 peopleparticipating.

“My purpose in havingthis event (was) meetingother parents and estab-lishing a support group,”said Johnston, adding thatshe feels this was accom-plished.

“It blossomed into anetworkoffamilywhoareall on the same journey.”

CLERMONT COUNTY —Strength begets strength.

The New Richmond HighSchool cross country programhasstrengthacross theboard,aswell as a high hopes to matchpast successes.

Both theboys andgirls teamswon the Southern Buckeye Con-ference American champion-ship last season. Both squads re-turn their defending league run-ners of the year, senior BobbyBinghamfor theboys and juniorClaire Burns for the girls. Headcoach Rylan Shebesta was boysand girls league coach of theyear last season.

“We’ve been pretty good thelast fewseasons,” Shebesta said.“We’re not resting on that,though. Other teams have im-proved, too, so we have to keepworking.”

For the boys, that means sen-ior Charlie Sticker will pushBingham and has a good chanceto earnall-leaguehonors. Sopho-more Luke Glenn has run in thetop three for the Lions in allthree of itsmeets so far this sea-son. Junior Derick Page andfreshman Everson White havebeen among the top five in theearly going.

“Every race has been differ-ent in terms of who winds up inthe top seven,” Shebesta said.“We have a lot of freshmen andsophomores who are trying toget those last couple spots, butI’ve been very happy with theleadership of this team fromBobby and Charlie.”

Theteamgoals includeanoth-er SBC crown and for the teamto qualify for the regional meet.Western Brownwill push the Li-ons in the leaguerace,whilerun-ning two different district raceshelps New Richmond’s chancesofearningagooddrawandatop-six team finish to advance.

On the girls side, Burns has acouple of seniors in Taryn Ruppand Zoe Crabtree to add leader-ship.SophomoreShelbiSimpson-youngersisterof2014graduateand multi-sport star Levi Simp-son - ran cross country andplayed soccer last season, buthasgivenup thepitch to concen-trate on running this fall.

Junior Emily Belmont, alongwith sophomores Bailey Haasand Grace Hauserman, all runamong the top seven.

“We’rereallydeep,”Shebestasaid of his girls. “In order to dowell at the district and regionalmeets, you have to have a goodpoint scorer in thefourthor fifthspot. I thinkwehavethat inboth.If we can keep improving, Ithink we could win a district ti-tle” with Indian Hill and Wyo-ming as the top obstacles to thatgoal.

Amelia’s boys team strug-gled in the Southern BuckeyeConference-American Divisionlast season but did feature afirst-team performer in JustinTavner. Tavner is now a sopho-more for 11th-year coach ShaneHeikenfeld.

“He (Tavner) narrowlymissed making the regionalmeet last year after running aseason-best 17:04 at the district

meet as a freshman,” Heiken-feld said.

The Barons and Lady Baronsrun in the Bethel-Tate Invita-tional Sept.13 and theNewRich-mond Invitational Sept. 20.

The Batavia Bulldogs have anew home course at BataviaTownship Park and a new headcoach in Randy Dorsey, whotakes over for Dona Braswell.

Braswell guided the boysteam to Southern Buckeye Con-ference National title last sea-son. League runner of the yearGriffin Stith and his twin broth-er Brandon are among thosewhograduated,butDorseyfeelsgood about his team.

Seniors Ryan Cooper - whoalso plays soccer for the Bull-dogs - and Matt Mackey shareco-captain honors, while class-mates Xavier Hendricks andAlec Jacobs bring additional ex-perience. Also back are juniorAndrew Truske and sophomoreDylan Young, while freshmanShawn Larros has contributedearly in his varsity career.

“Batavia cross country is op-timistic about this upcomingseason,”hesaid. “Someconsiderthis a rebuilding year after los-ing a few seniors last year, (but)Batavia cross country shouldnot be counted out this season.”

On the girls side, LindseyShepard is the lone returningsenior on a team that finishedfourth in the SBC National lastseason. Also back are juniorsHannahWinter - a district quali-fier last season - and Taylor Al-bright, along with sophomoresErin Mackey and Sammy Si-

gourney.FreshmenMeganEast-erday andRose Smithwillmakean immediate impact.

“(I’m) Looking forward to arepeat performance from Han-nah Winter at Division II dis-tricts,” Dorsey said. “She hasbeen showing great promise fortheBulldogs.This isarebuildingyear for the girls cross countryteam. The teamhas struggled tostayhealthy thisyear.Overall (itis)agreatgroupofgirlsworkingtowards personal goals.”

Under coach Ray Prueitt, theGlen Este boys and girls teamswill try to climb upward in thecompetitive Eastern CincinnatiConference.

The Lady Trojans will be ledby seniors Ashley Lorenzen andDemi Renfro. Completing theroster are sophomores AmandaArrasmith, Britain Pilott andOlivia Reynolds.

“This year we have a slightlybigger team with senior girlswho should post strong timesand boys team that is young,”Prueitt said.

Glen Este’s boys have sopho-moreGarrett Struder and fresh-men Brennan Young and Zecha-riah Crouch.

Both squads wrap up thismonth at the Ross InvitationalSept. 30.

Success in the regular seasonis fine, but McNicholas headcoach Kyle Jepson wants hisgirls looking at a larger picture,setting a goal of winning the Di-vision II district title and quali-fying to regionals as a team.

“Last year, our girls spent al-most theentire seasonasNo.1inthe coaches’ poll, yet we lost inthe district championship toWyoming,” Jepson said. “That

teamwas led by four seniors, in-cluding district champ Cather-ine Adams. This year, we’re ob-viously looking to replace thoseseniors. If we hope to duplicateour success as one of the bestteams in Cincinnati, we’ll needbig contributions from new run-ners.”

Returning for the Rocketsare senior Alana Osterday, ju-niors Claire Daly and SydneyEvans, as well as sophomore Jo-na Ridgway. Some of the newvarsity runners include seniorsMichelle Hollenkamp and LilyDeller, juniors Beth Simmons,Emily Tekulve and Gillian Tier-ney, sophomore Anna Endersand freshmen Meagan Taylorand Tiffany Hayward.

“Where we might be a bitstronger than last year is withour depth,” Jepson said. “Anyone of the aforementioned run-ners could potentially lead ourteam,andIthinkwe’llhavequitea few surprises.”

TheMcNick boys return sen-ior Nick Keri, junior Matt Bar-bara and sophomores Ian Bodn-er and Brendan Snyder. Newvarsity runners include seniorEric Frey, juniors JacksonDurm,AdamNeltner andBlaiseHarpring, as well as freshmanEthan Vaughn.

“We’ll continue to improve,”Jepson said. “Two years ago, we

finished13th in the district. Lastyear, we finished eighth overallbetween the two races. Thisyear, we return a very strongcore of young runners. (They)have aspirations of leading theteam to qualify to the regionalChampionship for the first timesince 2008. It won’t be easy,though, as we still have a verystrong district.”

The Miami Valley ChristianAcademy Lions compete incross country as an OHSAAmember this season. Upcomingmeets are Sept. 13 at the BethelInvitational, Sept. 16 at Goshenand Sept. 20 at Cedarville Uni-versity.

Williamsburg head coachChris Rolph took theWildcats toa third-place finish in the SBCNational last season, just threepoints fromarunner-up finish inthe league. While first team all-league performer and regionalqualifier Roger Thornberrygraduated, second-team selec-tions Nathan Webb and RandyThornberryreturn for their sen-ior and junior seasons, respec-tively.

The Wildcats finished thirdbehind Georgetown andBlanchester on the girls side.Senior Heather McIntosh re-turns to lead the squad afterearning first team all-SBC hon-ors as a junior.

SHORT HOPS

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

Charles Dickens got itwrong.

Granted, the bane ofsophomore literatureclasses died nearly 175years ago, but the foot-ball gamebetweenBata-via and Mariemont highschools was less a tale of

two cities and more atale of two quarters

The home-standingWarriors bookended alltheir points in the firstand fourth periods toknock off the Bulldogs38-27 and improve to 2-0on the season. Bataviaslipped to 1-1.

“The last two weekswe played very hard andI’m proud of my kids for

that,” said Mariemonthead coach Kurry Com-mins. “There was a littlehangover from lastweek (a late 32-26 win atDayton Oakwood) andwe bounced backstrong.”

Sophomore runningback Aaron Urevickbroke open a tight gamewith his 84-yard touch-down run the fourth pe-

riod, giving Mariemonta 31-21 lead. He finishedthe game with 173 yardsand a pair of touch-downs on 23 carries.

“Here’s a kid we lostto injuryon the firstplaylast season,” Comminssaid. “I think he earnedhis stripes tonight, alongwith a lot of other play-ers.”

Recently, my friend’s moth-er experienced a fall at herhome.

Fortunately, Andre was onthe phone with her when shefell. He was able to immedi-ately summon the local emer-gency squad to respond, thustransporting her to the localhospital. Sadly, Mrs. Z suffered

a broken fib-ula, and a frac-tured ankle asa result of thefall. She isundergoingtherapy andrehabilitationat a local facil-ity.

As campy asthe phrase wasoften por-

trayed in comedy sketchesafter its release in commer-cials, a fall, followed by a per-son’s inability to get up andsummon assistance, is one ofthe most frequent causes offatality for older adults. Ac-cording to Healthy Ohio,through the Ohio Departmentof Health, “Older adults aredisproportionately affected byfall-related injury.” Moreover,falls among older adults havereached epidemic proportions.It is reported that from 2000 to2011, Ohioans aged 65 and olderexperienced a 167 percent in-crease in the number of fatalfalls and 145 percent increasein the fall death rate.

Not surprising, the risks forsuffering serious injury after afall increases dramatically withadvancing age. On average, 2.6older Ohioans suffered fatalfalls each day in 2011, and Ohio-ans 65 years and older account-ed for approximately 84 per-cent of fatal falls that year.

One way to protect yourselfor loved one is to consider apersonal emergency responsesystem. This call button can beworn as an adjustable medicalalert necklace, or as a medicalalert bracelet.

Moreover, the devices arereassuring to adult children

who know that if an aging par-ent suffers a fall, stroke orheart attack, immediate assis-tance can be summoned. Manymodels can detect when a per-son has fallen. This is especial-ly helpful if the individual isunconscious.

The American Associationfor Retired Persons recom-mends that you consider thesefactors when choosing a sys-tem:

1) Look at several systemsbefore making a decision;

2) Compare costs. Chargesfor equipment and services,typically, include a setup feeanywhere from $50 to $200 andamonthly fee ranging from $30to $60;

3) Read the contract careful-ly and understand the cancella-tion process;

4) make sure the provideroffers 24/7 monitoring andsupport; 5) Ask how often thesystem is tested; and 6) ask fora 30 day free or money-backtrial.

Mrs. Z actually had amed-ical alert system. However, shewasn’t wearing the alert deviceat the time of her fall. Luckily,her son was able to summon theemergency crew to her home.Thanks to her son, Mrs. Z willbe returning to her home in thenear future.

Conversely, the elderlymother of a local physician wasdiscovered alone in her bed-room, dehydrated, injured andbarely conscious a full dayafter she suffered a fall andstroke. Because of the delayeddiscovery, the time in which astroke can be aggressivelytreated to minimize or counterthe effects was compromised.The doctor’s mother, who be-fore the stroke had no serioushealth conditions, now liveswith him and his wife.

Last week we received apostcard fromWest ClermontSchool District. It instructedus about my daughter’s schoolbus schedule. I was happy tosee the district is making busi-ng available to middle school-ers. Then I looked at theschedule. My daughter wasexpected to wait for the bus at6:28 in the morning. She wasactually asked to wait 10 min-utes earlier.

We have all noticed thedays are getting shorter as weend summer and head towardsfall. Now a day’s sunrise isaround seven in the morning.This is going to get later andlater, with only a temporaryreprieve when daylight savingtime ends.

This busing schedule isn’tunique forWest Clermont. Allaround the Tristate middleschool and high school stu-dents start their studyingaround 7:30 a.m. Because oflogistical issues they have to

wait for thebuses beforethe sunrises.It also meansa lot of themwake up be-fore six in themorning.

This time-table is veryproblematic.Teenagers are

not supposed to wake up soearly. According to the Nation-al Sleep Foundation teenagersneed at least eight and a halfhours of sleep, most evenmore. As teenagers develop,their internal clock changes.They cannot fall asleep around8 p.m. or 9p.m., but rathercloser to 11 p.m. This meansthey cannot have sufficientamount of sleep if they have towake up before 6 a.m.. Thiscauses a decrease in the abil-ity to concentrate and learn. Italso increases the risk fordeveloping obesity and being

involved in a motor vehicleaccident.

There are possible solu-tions. One of themwould be tochange to time school starts.Maybe we can have the middleand high school start around 9a.m., while having elementaryschool start at eight.

Having an earlier elemen-tary school starting time willenable more parents to settheir children to school andthen go to work during normalbusiness hours. It will enablethe teenagers to wake up in amore physiological appropri-ate time and will enhance theiracademic performance.

There are other solutionsand I would urge all theboards of the different dis-tricts in the area to considerthem.We owe our children achance for better sleep whichleads to a healthier, better life.

To sleep, per chance tolearn - and catch the bus

Oded ZmoraCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Today’s message is vastlydifferent from everything Iwritten over the years, as thistime it will not be a mini-sermon, but a reminder weare living in perilous times.

Folks, persecution isn’t onthe way for Christians, it isalready here. I don’t knowabout you, but I was outragedto hear the other day that at awoman working at a U.S.Bank in Kentucky was firedfrom her job for simply say-ing “Have a blessed day,”after each of her transactionswith her customers.

I couldn’t believe my ears,so I called my local bankwhere my wife and I have allof our accounts and askedthem about the situation. Andof course they could not com-ment without fear of losingtheir jobs.

Fortunately, I was able toacquire a phone number of anexecutive at U.S. Bank and hegave me all the normal legalrhetoric and danced aroundthe issue as I expected hewould. He even had the gall tosay that U.S. Bank holds theiremployees to a high ethicalstandard, which is surprising,

because in myopinion, U.S.Bank is notbeing ethicalat all, they arebeing preju-diced.

I thoughtwe lived inAmerica,home of thebrave, land of

the free. Now, this person whoI will not name for obviousreasons, went on to remindme of the separation ofchurch and state, which isironic because when our fore-fathers instituted this it wasto keep government out ofchurch, not the other wayaround. If you read the histo-ry books, religious persecu-tion was why they came tothis new land to begin with. Inaddition, our forefathers wereworried about too much gov-ernment even then, and Ibelieve they would literallyturn over in their graves tosee what America has be-come.

Furthermore, after ourconversation I informed himthat my wife and I are going

to transfer our funds to anoth-er bank, because the onlything these corporations un-derstand is the bottom line. Ifit hurts their pocketbook theywill listen. I remember theytried to pull a fast one on theChik-fil-A franchise, but peo-ple rallied to their support. Aman got his house rebuiltafter people pulled their mon-ey out of a local bank. I hopethat others will consider doingthe same. Wemust stop thisnow. If you think this won’taffect you at some point in thefuture you are mistaken.

In addition, there was an-other startling news eventthat happened very recentlywhich should pique your in-terest, a young girl in a cer-tain school who simply said“Bless you,” when someonesneezed and got in troublewith the teacher and theschool. The question is whatare we going to do about it?Please call U.S. Bank. Call theschool board. Let’s tell themhow we feel. We can make adifference.

PERSECUTION IS COMING

Ben HurstCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Sept. 3 questionAre you concerned about a

terrorist attack on US soil?

“It’s not if we will be at-tacked but when. What can bedone to stop it? Get off the golfcourse and get in the loop. Stopdecimating the command levelof the military. Actually listento the people who know how todealwith terrorists. Secure theborder now! Arm the Kurds tothe max. Flood the sky overIraq with drones; armeddrones we don’t need pictureswe need explosions. Just dosomething, anything.WhentheattackdoescomeIwonderwhothe media is going blame.”

T.S.“What concerns me are not

terrorist attacksbut the lackofoutcry from the leaders of theMuslim communities in ourcountry about what is going on

overseas.“I feel like the Muslim reli-

gion at its base must be one ofacceptance of their principlesand doctrine or death. Evenwithin their own religion theycan’t agree onwhich sect is thetrue sect so they kill each oth-er.

“As a Christian nation, theywould have no qualms or re-

spect for our beliefs so I amsure our lives are worth noth-ing to them, and the chance ofconversion, even under thethreat of their sword wouldprobably not even be offered.

“I’m most concerned aboutwhat type of support is beingfunneled from mosques andMuslim organizations locatedin theUnitedStates to theseor-ganizations such as ISIS.

“While I believe in freedomof religion, a religion based onkilling those that you can’t con-vert seems to be one that isdangerous to allow togrowandexpand in this country.

“Inasenseeachmosquecanbe its own small cell of antiAmerican and Western senti-ment, and from that whoknows what types of activitiesare being planned or could becarried out on American soil.”

Several years ago Iwent to Italy with mybest friend, Carol Vanov-er. One day as we weretraveling, we stopped at agas station/restaurant. Weknew the food would begood, not fast food sand-wiches wrapped in saranon white bread, but hon-est-to-goodness home

cookedfoodservedbuffetstyle.

Themost mem-orable itemin thewholeplace wasnot thefood, but a

whole display of Nutella,that popular Italian hazel-nut chocolate spread.What I was impressedwith was a gigantic jar ofNutella available forpurchase. It weighedmore than 10 pounds andhadme salivating fordays. If I could havepacked it in my suitcase, Iwould have.

Since then I’ve been ona quest to make home-made Nutella. I’ve madedifferent versionsthrough the years, but therecipe I’m sharing todayis the easiest.

The difference be-tween this and store-bought Nutella is thehomemade version islighter in color and not ascreamy/shiny as storebought, but then again,it’s easy and doesn’t con-tain anything you can’tbuy at the grocery.

Nutella cloneNext time I make this

I’m going to try semi-sweet chocolate. Hazelnutoil is my choice, but ifyour budget won’t allow,vegetable oil works.

1 cup hazelnuts,chopped and toasted (youmay be able to buy themalready chopped, inwhich case they are mostlikely already toasted).

11-12 oz milk chocolate- real chocolate morselsor high quality bars,chopped - I used 11.5 ozbag of milk chocolatemorsels

1 teaspoon vanilla3 tablespoons Hazelnut

oil or vegetable oil1 tablespoonmelted

butter

3 tablespoons confec-tioners’ sugar

1 tablespoon cocoapowder

Couple pinches saltMelt chocolate and let

cool. Meanwhile, processhazelnuts to a pasty con-sistency in food proces-sor. Add vanilla, oil, but-ter, sugar and cocoa pow-der. Process until fairlysmooth. Add cooledmelt-ed chocolate and processuntil it’s as smooth as youlike.

To toast whole hazel-nuts: Preheated 350 oven,10-12 minutes. Be carefulnot to toast too long orthey’ll burn and tasteterrible. Wrap them intowel and rub to removeloose skin. Not all willcome off.

Store Nutella covered,at room temperature fora week, or in refrigerator3 months. To serve fromrefrigerator, warm up alittle so that it’s spread-able. Be careful here;warm up on low for bestconsistency. Or leave outat room temperature untilit’s spreadable.

English muffinswith Nutella andfruit

A perfect snack forafter school! Spreadwhole wheat toasted Eng-lish muffin half withNutella, add sliced apples,bananas, etc. and drizzlewith a tiny bit of honey.

Eileen Bittman’ssimple OktoberfestGerman potatosalad

I’ve sharedmy recipes

for this traditional Ok-toberfest dish and nowI’m happy to share Col-erain Township readerEileen Bittman’s recipe.I’ve learned so muchfrom Eileen, a super cookwho is always willing toshare her favorites. Yes,it’s another vintage recipeand one requested byJudy, a 40 somethingmomwho told me about asimilar recipe that sheenjoyed as a child. Eileensaid this is from a1962Pillsbury cookbook. AsI’ve mentioned before, Ithink we’ve started some-thing here with thesevintage and retro recipesthat bring back such goodmemories.

Fry 5 slices bacon untilcrisp. Drain and reserve3 tablespoons drippings.Crumble bacon. Sauté 1small chopped Bermudaonion in drippings untiltender. Blend in 2 table-spoons flour, then stir in2/3 cup cider vinegar and1-1/3 cups water. Boil untilthickened slightly andadd 1/4 cup sugar, salt andpepper to taste. Pour overbacon and 6 cups slicedcooked potatoes and keepwarm until served.

Clermont Chamber honorsbusiness partners Howdy Folks,

We just got back fromthe chemo treatment forRuth Ann at AndersonMercy. They gave her

two dosesthis morn-ing. She isdoing good,it doesn’tseem tohurt heryet. Wehope andpray itdoesn’t.

Lastweek we

called the folks to pick upthe dining room chairsthat we repaired. Weinvited them to come outand get some gardenitems, they were happy toget some fresh items.

Wednesday was theClermont Senior Servicesboardmeeting. After themeeting there was anextra event. The CEO ofSenior Services, Cindy,and the CFO, Greg, hadthe water dumped onthem. This was to raisemoney for the ALS dis-ease charity .

They had the option tonominate someone else.Cindy nominated GeorgeBrown and Greg nominat-edMary Jane. The pil-grim Brown was notthere to get his water

bath, so maybe next time,if he is not hiking thetrails here at East Fork.NowMary Jane did get alittle water thrown on her,she is a great sport and agoodmember of theboard. The Senior Ser-vices is a great organiza-tion, they do so much forthe seniors of ClermontCounty.

We are eating out ofthe garden. For dinnerthe other day we had stirfried carrots, onions,green peppers, zucchini,potato, for the meat wehad fish which we caught.Yum yum!

We started a clean upproject here last week.We started washing thehouse down, youmay notknowwhat I mean. Thevinyl siding we have getsmold on it. This is a jobthat takes lots of muscle.Our water pump on thecistern didn’t have thepressure to run the powerwasher, so I used a brushand Ruth Ann squirtedwater on it with the hose.It takes as you folks knowlots of time to keep ahouse and property look-ing good, also plenty ofmoney. I understand whyolder folks downsize tolive in a condo.

We dug our fall pota-toes last week and got a

nice bunch. That willkeep us in potatoes for along time this fall andwinter. The tomatoes arestill providing. We gavethe Bethel UnitedMeth-odist Church a nice boxfull for the Kitchen ofHopemeal. They appreci-ate any garden items theycan get.

If you like cantaloupeand watermelon alongwith corn and tomatoes,the Grants Farm andGreenhouses have somebeautiful produce. It isnot too late to set outbroccoli plants for fall.We have planted somelettuce for fall along withsome red romaine lettucealso try planting spinach.

The Boars Head BaitShop in Afton will behaving a special eventSept. 13 so get in for thefun, and help supportAutism.

TheMonroe Grangewill hold their first of theseason bake sale at the360 Auction Sept. 12.

With fall getting herethe farmers will be on thehighway with their bigfarm equipment, so bepatient and give themplenty of room.

George Rooks is a retiredpark ranger.
