Although Embry saidthe roads will continue tobe treated, different alter-nativeswillneed tobecon-sidered. “Wemaynothavethe materials we have(had) in the past.”

The township may also

have to consider whetherit can spare salt to othercommunities this year.

Parsons said althoughthe township is not set upas a salt supplier, it hasbeen willing to share saltwith other communities inthe past.

“Our hope is to getthrough the year and hopethe price of salt will godown next year,” he said.

said Carpenter, who’s atthe job site daily inspect-ing the general contrac-tor’s work.

Built in 1878, the Sto-nelick-Williams CornerCoveredBridge collapsedon Feb. 11 while crewswere rehabilitating thehistoric structure. Thebridge had been closed totraffic since May 2010when an overloaded gar-bage truck ignored the 3-tonweight limit andbrokethe floor beams.

When the bridge’s roofand trusses fell into Sto-nelick Creek in February,

Carpenter was among theworkers who escapedwithout injury.

“There wasn’t muchwarning,” Carpenter said.“There was a little bit ofvibration, and I heardsomemetal clanking.”

The reconstructedbridgewill have six truss-es on each side to helpsupport the structure, in-stead of the four on eachside that were there pre-viously. By mid-Septem-ber, crews hope to havethe floor on the bridge.

Each of the woodentrusses “was individuallyevaluated by a third partystructural expert withsignificant wooden cov-ered bridge experience,”according to a letter that

County Engineer PatManger posted on his of-fice’s website. That in-spection concluded thatmost of the bridge’s origi-nal truss componentscould be reused.

“Our goal remains tocomplete the project us-ing as many original ele-ments as possible whileensuring the safety oftravelers across thebridge, and our prioritycontinues tobeacompleterestoration in a mannerthatwillhighlight the longand historic past of theStonelick-Williams Cor-ner Covered Bridge,”Manger wrote in a letterjust days after the bridgecollapsed.

The new bridge willhave an eight-ton weightlimit, more than doublethe previous three tons.

Gadbury said crewshadhopedtostart rebuild-ing the bridge in June, buthad to wait until a customorder of timber wasshipped from the WestCoast.

More than half of thematerials from the origi-nal bridge were salvaged,Gadbury said. The sidingand the roof had been re-placed in the 1970s or1980s, he said.

The project’s generalcontractor, the RighterCo. Inc. in Columbus,Ohio, has extensive expe-rience in covered and his-

toric bridge renovation,according to its website.

“This company’s re-habbed over 100 coveredbridges,” Carpenter said.

Thegeneral contractoris working 50 hours aweek to finish the bridgeby Dec. 31, Carpentersaid. For more informa-tion, including a map of apossible detour, visit cler-montengineer.org.

MT. WASHINGTON — Littleclouds of ground-up black rub-ber followMeghanMartella likea personal storm front.

TheMcNicholas High Schoolsenior co-captain of the girlssoccer team runs, slides, divesand jumps around Penn StationStadium churning up the artifi-cial turf at an alarming rate.

The diminutive midfielderhad two goals and an assistthrough McNick’s first sevengames, but scoring is only partof what makes her invaluable tothe Rockets.

“She does a lot of the leadingby example,” said McNick headcoach Ben Kirkpatrick. “She’s avery smart and technical player.When I give instructions, I’mvery comfortablewith her cary-ing them out and explaing themto the team. That’s what makesher such a good captain.”

That and her hustle. “She’sgot a great motor and is reallyaggressive,” Kirkpatrick said.“She never gives up on a ball.”

Martella –anAmelia resident– comes by her soccer acumenhonestly.Her dad, Jay, played atTurpin High School and her un-cle Rob Martella was a star onthe Spartans 1986 state titleteam. Meghan began playing atage four, but doesn’t see herselfplaying competitively plast highschool. “Itwasoneof thehardestdecisions I’ve made, but I’m go-ing to concentrate on school,”she said, adding that she wouldlike to be a teacher, a nurse orstudysportsmanagement incol-lege. “I love soccer - I’ll alwayslovesoccer-butIjustdon’t thinkI can play another four years.”

The Rockets improved to 7-0-0 with a 1-0 home win over St.Ursula Academy Sept. 11, andadded another with a win overMercy Sept. 15.McNick enteredthe game ranked first in the Di-vision II Enquirer coaches’ poll,

while the Bulldogs were third inDivision I. Martella called thewin over SUA her favorite soc-cer memory to date.“It’s beenfive or eight years since we’vebeaten them,” she said. “Nobodyeven remembers the last time.Being a senior now, it wasn’tsomething I could have imag-ined doing when I started here.It’s a great win for our team.”

The win, however, came at aprice.McNick sophomore Soph-ie Gorman – the leading scorerin the GGCL Coed – netted theonlygoalwith38:51toplay in thefirsthalf.Butminutes laterwentto the sidelines with a toe injurythat required her to leave thefield and head to the hospital forx-rays. The Rockets have a roadgame at Purcell Marian Sept. 17before coming home to hostneighborhood rival Turpin HighSchool Sept. 22.

SHORT HOPS

By Scott [email protected]

AMELIA — As usual, theAmelia High School boys soc-cer team is around the top ofthe Southern Buckeye Confer-ence-American Division stand-ings. However, they find them-selves chasing different teamsthis season in Norwood andnew American Division mem-ber Batavia.

“We played Norwood andBatavia and outshot both ofthem,” coach Eric Burger said.“It’s going to be tough. We’rejust going to keep fighting.”

Burger’s Barons featureseveral juniors in the statistics,but he credits the team’s sen-iorsforholdingthingstogether.

“They’re great teammatesand theymake our soccer fam-ily,” Burger said. “They makeour practice better.”

JuniorsScottErvinandKee-ganManzi are the topoffensiveproducers, followed by seniorAnthony Alberty and juniorRandy Ervin.

“We’ve been getting moreshots than our opponent, butwe’ve had a difficult time find-ing the net,” Burger said.

Defensively, the Baronshave generally done the job infront of goalkeeper ElliottStockton. The senior has notspent an inordinate amount oftime retrieving the ball fromthe back of the net.

“Wegaveuponegoal toNewRichmond, one to Batavia andtwo to Norwood,” Burger said.“The problem is we haven’tbeen able to finish when we’vehad some really good opportu-nities. That’s the reality of soc-cer; you’re not always going tomake everything you shoot.”

The upside is Amelia has afewweeks to zero in on findingthe net offensively. In themeantime, a couple formidableCincinnati Hills League oppo-nents await on the schedule.

“We have Mariemont andWyoming in the last month of

theseason,”Burgersaid. “Wyo-ming’s reallygoodandso isMa-riemont.They’ll bothbeagreattest for us to get ready for thetournament. We have the tour-nament drawafterweplayMa-riemont. We just want to keep

plugging one game at a timeand try to get as many wins ashe we can.”

Amelia has a key leaguegame Sept. 25 at Norwood.They return home on Sept. 30for a 7 p.m. tilt with New Rich-mond.

On the first play fromscrimmage, senior PurcellMarian quarterbackMcKell Jones connectedwith junior wide receiverJamele Howard over themiddle. Howard sprintedpast his defender and tookit the rest of theway for an80-yard touchdown.

The Cavaliers’ hopes ofupsetting host McNicho-las, ranked third in the En-quirer’sDivision IVcoach-es’ poll, ended shortlythereafter. The Rockets(4-0 overall, 1-0 GCL) ranoff 20 unanswered pointsandheld on for a 30-14win,beginning their quest to-ward a third straightGreater Catholic LeagueCoed Central champion-ship.

“We came out a littleflat,” said McNicholascoach Mike Orlando. “Ifwe’re going to be the teamwe think we can be, we’vegot to take care of that

stuff and clean it up.”McNicholas capitalized

on favorable field positionall afternoon as PurcellMarian (2-2, 0-1) struggledtomovetheballasidefroma pair of deep catch-and-runs.Onthreeconsecutivedrives in the first half, theRockets began in Cavalierterritory, scoring on allthree. Following up a 10-for-10 first quarter, seniorMcNicholas quarterbackLuke Sulken hit seniortight end Elliot Higginsover a leaping defensiveback for a 25-yard touch-down.

Sulken completed 20 ofhis 25 passes Saturday for178 yards. In desperateneed of a response, Jonesled Purcell Marian on an-other short drive, hittingsenior wide receiver JairKnox as the pocket col-lapsed. Knox found roomto run down the left side-line, reaching the end zonefor an 84-yard score thatcut theMcNicholas lead tosix at halftime. Of Jones’138 passing yards, 120 ofthem came on the twotouchdown passes. He fin-ished 5-for-15 and alsothrew two interceptions.

We have been subjected toa terrible injustice in our na-tion.

Running on a war wearynation, you and I were promis-ed to see an end to two wars.No one wants to see our mil-itary service men and womensubjected to fulfill those rolesto protect our nation and thefreedoms of others. We be-lieved that this promise wouldbe accomplished with a mis-sion to end when it was readyand responsibly.

This turned out to be agravemistake that created amassive location for terroriststo grow and gain support thathas overtaken Syria, led backinto Iraq that no has a religouswar against Christians. Ourcurrent leadership has failedyou and I in every way andproven that even further byopenly stating we have noplans to take on this threat.

At the same time our oncetimid ally has become theaggressor once again andinvading a nation that brokeaway from the Bear’s collapseafter the Berlin wall fell andthe cold war ended. The Uk-raine is a free democraticnation that is being overrun bybullies. Our leadership is fail-ing us again and our nationspromise to defend freedomwherever it is in this world.We now see the “flexibility”that Obama promised to Rus-sia that was captured on anopenmic.

We see social media beingused to wage a war against thewest and our way of life. Presi-

dent Bushwarned thatthere would bea long fightahead for allterrorist or-ganizationsand the gov-ernments thatharbor andsupport them.This is notwhether you

like President Bush or if yousupport President Obama.This is a clear definition ofleadership in a crisis and thelack there of in our currentadministration. So let’s askourselves some very toughquestions.

Are we tired of war?Yes!Are we tired of seeing our

own citizens gone for monthsand years at a time fightingthese wars?

Yes!Are we tired of seeing these

monsters torture and kill in-nocent people and wage areligious war against Chris-tians or any other religion?

Yes!Aren’t we tired of seeing

President Obama play golfwhen he should be leadingefforts of international sup-port and creatingmeasures tofight these Terrorists?

Yes!Are we ourselves a perfect

country without our own prob-lems of race and equality?

No!We have freedom to ex-

press ourselves and live with

civility in most cases. Theones who do not are criminalsand do not obey the laws cre-ated to institute fairness andorder. While there are stillmany areas we can improveon we continue to strive to dobetter and that sets us apartfrom the criminals, the ex-tremists, the terrorists, andthe monsters who committhese acts. We voice our opi-nions through conversation,arguments, legal proceedingsand activism or peaceful pro-tests and demonstrations.These people in the grip ofISIS or any other terror groupand supporting governmentsdo not have those options andare viciously attacked,maimed, tortured, andmur-dered.

Do you wish to see thesetype of attacks in our nation?

No!The answer is clear - we

must take action to end allterrorists and extremeists sothat violence and senselessattacks never happen withinour borders.

Wake up America, we needto do something. Our electedleader doesn’t have the spineto do the right thing after allthe years of failures fromBenghazi, the IRS, Fast andFurious, Iraq, Syria, and nowISIS......

We need a new leader...We need an #average-

When Clermont SeniorServices was founded in1969, its beginnings weresimple and came about be-cause one woman, LoisBrown Dale, saw the expand-ing needs of seniors in theClermont County communityand responded accordingly.

In fact, the service that isbroadly recognized locally,statewide and nationally, asoffering a broad scope ofservices that help seniorsremain in their homes aslong as possible, actuallystarted with one senior cen-ter. And, since September isNational Senior CenterMonth, it seems appropriateto share those humble begin-nings, as well as the face ofthe seniors who attend to-day’s centers in ClermontCounty, now known as Life-long Learning Centers.

Lois recognized the needfor seniors to have the op-portunity to socialize amongeach other, as well as con-tinue to be fulfilled inhealthy and productiveways. Lois had already hadan influential hand in thecreation of the public librarysystem in Clermont Countyand was also active in theformation of the League ofWomen Voters of ClermontCounty. Recognizing thisneed, Lois opened a seniorcenter in Milford.

What she also knew wasthat more and more seniorsneeded transportation. Ourcommunity was becomingmore transient and olderadults were far too vulner-able to becoming isolated bytheir inability to drive. Notonly did she see socializationas a way of preventing thatisolation, but she also sawthe need for transportationas critical to getting peopleto and from medical appoint-ments, as well as to opportu-nities to socialize. Neverallowing details to get in theway of her vision, Lois actu-ally was able to raise thedollars to pay a driver be-fore she was able to pur-chase a vehicle.

Times have changed andthere are 20 Clermont SeniorServices vehicles on theroad, transporting seniors,daily. Lois’s vision continuestoday at the Clermont SeniorServices Lifelong LearningCenters. The larger, fiveday-a-week Lifelong Learn-ing Centers are at the UnionTownship Civic Center inEastgate and also at the Mi-ami Township Civic Center.Another center operates, incooperation with the Cler-

mont Met-ropolitanHousing Au-thority, atBethel Woodsin the Bethelarea and fourdays a week.

All ofthese centersoffer a widevariety ofclasses and

programming with activitiesthat include fitness and well-ness such as Tai Chi, HealthyU, yoga stretch, Zumba gold,aqua Zumba, flex, volleyball,open gym, billiards, linedancing, wellness classesand SilverSneakers, depend-ing upon the location. Otherclasses include watercolorpainting, landscape art,woodcarving, floral design,bridge, ceramics, computerand many other recreational,as well as arts and craftsclasses.

You can easily access thecalendars online by visitingwww.clermontseniors.com,click on the word, Services,and scroll down to click onLifelong Learning Centers.There, you can watch a shortvideo of seniors sharingtheir Center experience andalso access the calendar andcatalog for current and up-coming offerings.

Sept. 17 questionHas the National Football

League fairlyandproperlyhan-dled the Ray Rice domesticabuse/violence case? Whatcould or should the league dodifferently?

“Fairly, yes. Properly, no. Iam sick and tired of readingabout these prima donna ath-letes acting like the thugs andcriminals a lot of themare...and getting away with itmost of the time. All of thesebig-time sports athletes (ev-ery sport), whether theywant to be or not, are rolemodels for millions of youth.On that fact alone, they needto be held to a higher stan-dard ofmorality than the restof us. It is a rare privilege tobe good enough to play in thebig leagues and if you happen

to be that talented or lucky,you need to be held to a one-and-done morality clause.Muck up once and your areout for life. Seems harsh, buthow many youth see theseguys do these kinds of stupidand wrong beatings/mur-ders/rapes/gun violations/drug violations etc. and then

the guy is back playing laterthis year or next, so itmust beOK for our youth to do thattoo?”

M.J.F.

“Once the NFL had all thefacts in the Ray Rice spousalabuse case they stiffened hispenalty.HisRavens teamandthe NFL have suspended himindefinitely. However Raywas paid huge front end bo-nuses that should be re-couped. It appears the NFLhas an epidemic of theseabuses both spousal andchild. The indefinite suspen-sion of at least one yearmakes sense for the first timeoffender; after that a lifetime ban. I am glad the Ben-gals have been free of thesethugs. Go Figure!”

BATAVIA— SteppingStones’ Fine ArtsGetaway, an annu-al summer campfor people with

disabilities, marked the endof its recent eight-day runat Camp Allyn here with ashow featuring artwork andperformances by more than50 campers.

“This is a chance forparticipants to get a breakfrom their group homes,their parents or other care-givers,” said Meghan Kes-sen, manager of recreationand leisure for SteppingStones. “A lot of our partici-pants will save their moneyso that they can attend. It’skind of like their vacation.”

This year’s 54 partici-pants ranged from age 12 to84, Kessen said. Camperscame from18 Ohio coun-ties, as well as several otherstates. Stepping Stones is aGreater Cincinnati UnitedWay partner creating path-ways to independence formore than 1,000 children,teens and adults with dis-abilities, including autism,cerebral palsy, Down syn-drome, intellectual dis-abilities and seizure dis-orders.

Stepping Stones’ sum-mer camp program in-cludes day camps forschool-age campers andovernight getaways forages 12 through adult. Theprograms help people withdisabilities discover andcelebrate their abilities.

Despite off and on rainwhen the camp ended onJuly 23, campers’ friendsand families packed thepavilion at Camp Allyn toview participants’ artwork.They also got to see camp-ers performMiley Cyrus’sinspirational, “The Climb,”Beyonce Knowles’ ‘SingleLadies” and ‘It’s a HardKnocks Life’ from the mu-sical “Annie.”

A silent film featuringhumans and zombies thatwas written, directed andcast by campers inspiredcheers and applause fromthe audience.

Afterward, visitors sam-pled desserts created bycampers during a cookingclass. The camp also offersarchery, fishing, canoeing,swimming and nightlygroup events, such asmovies.

As a memento, DeannaRobbins took home a col-orful tie-dyed piece of fab-ric bearing the initials ofher son, Erick Durbin, wholives in Mt. Repose.

“Erick’s been coming (toadult day camp) here 39years, ever since he was 6,”his proud mother said. “Heloves this camp.”

Mercy Health offerspre-diabetes classes

This has been a busyweek. I was a featuredpresenter at MotherEarth News Fair in Penn-sylvania and my talk wason Bible herbs and foodswith anti-aging qualities.

One of my topics wasbread since wheat wasone of the first, if not thefirst, crop planted backthen. A young womancame up to me afterwardand asked if I ever madechallah, the honey eggbread. Yes, I told her, Ihave. “Would you sendme your recipe?” sheasked. Yes, I told her, Iwould.

As I write this, we’re aweek away from RoshHashanah, the JewishNew Year, of which chal-lah is an important food.We just got a quart ofhoney from our beekeep-er, so today I’m sharing areally good recipe forchallah. It’s adapted fromJoan Nathan’s, an experton Jewish cuisine.

ChallahGrandson, Jack, loves

this sweeter type eggbread. A wonderful giftfrom the kitchen, as well.

This makes 2 loaves.Some people like tosprinkle it with poppy orsesame seeds beforebaking.

2-1/2 cups warmwater,110-115 degrees

1 tablespoon activedry yeast (not rapid rise)

1/2 cup honey1/4 cup Canola oil3 large eggs, room

temper-ature

1 table-spoon salt

8 cupsun-bleachedall purposeflour - Iused KingArthurbrand

Egg wash - 1 or 2whole eggs, beaten untilblended

Sprinkle yeast overwarmwater. On lowspeed, stir in honey, oil,eggs and salt until verywell blended.

Add flour, one cup at atime, beating after eachaddition. You may windup having to beat byhand, depending upon thesize of the bowl, if you’reusing a hand or standmixer, etc.

Remove dough tolightly floured surface.Dough will be sticky.Knead until smooth andelastic (like a baby’sbottom, my friend Carolsays) and no longersticky, adding flour a bitat a time as needed. Becareful here - don’t addtoo much or bread will bedry. Cover with dampclean cloth and let riseuntil doubled in bulk - upto 1-1/2 hours or so.

Punch dough downand again place on lightlyfloured surface. Dividein half and knead eachhalf for a fewmore min-utes, adding more flour ifneeded. Again, be careful

here - add just enoughflour to keep it frombeing sticky.

Divide each half intothirds and roll into ropesabout 1-1/2” wide. Pinchtop ends of each 3 ropestogether. Then, startingfrom the middle, startbraiding, again pinchingends after braiding.Leave as is or curvebraid into a circle andpinch ends together verywell. I pinch and tuckends under.

Spray 2 baking sheetsor use parchment paper.Put braids on. Brush withegg wash. Cover withtowel and let rise untildoubled, about an hour.Preheat oven to 375.

If you want a lac-quered finish, brushgently again with eggwash. Bake for 30-40minutes. If you insertthermometer into centeron bottom, bread willregister 190 degreeswhen done. Or tap it onbottom - it should soundhollow.

Even easier: Thawfrozen bread dough, thendivide in thirds, make 3ropes and follow instruc-tions on label for rising,etc. This bread won’t beas sweet as homemadechallah, but it’s still good.

Hot mulled ciderI can’t believe the

weather has turned coolenough to enjoy a mug ofhot mulled cider. Whenthe kids were little, wemade cider from our

orchard apples. Wonder-ful memories of chillyautumn evenings, sittingby the woodstove, sip-ping mulled cider. Ahealthy splash of applebrandy or spiced rumadded brings back prettygood memories, too!

Bring ingredients to agentle boil, then lower toa simmer and cook, cov-ered, about 10 minutes orso. Strain, add brandy,and enjoy.

1 qt. apple ciderBrown sugar to taste -

start with 3 tablespoons4 whole ea. cloves and

allspice berriesSeveral pinches fresh-

ly ground nutmeg6” cinnamon stick,

This is the time ofyear when many con-sumers hire home im-provement contractorsto fix up items aroundtheir house. Before you

hire acontrac-tor, youshouldknowthere aresome whojust takeyour mon-ey andrun.

I re-ceived a

letter from a womanwho hired a company toclean her roof and in-stall new windows. Shepaid a $2,000 depositbefore any work wasdone and, unfortunately,no work was ever done.Now the firm, which shesays, never ordered thewindows, wants tocharge her a restocking

fee after she com-plained and said shewants her money back.

Ohio Attorney Gener-al Mike DeWine says hisoffice has receivedmore than 60 complaintsabout home improve-ment contractors sinceJune. Most of his com-plaints involve asphalt,concrete or pavingwork. The averageamount of money dis-puted is more than$3,000. Most of thosecomplaints involvedshoddy resurfacing ofthe driveway, roughspots or cracks in theconcrete, improperdrainage, driveways notlevel, and ineffectiveand incomplete sealing.

To protect yourselfalways check out a con-tractor with the BetterBusiness Bureau. Ifthey’re a member of theBBB so much the betterbecause then the bureau

can mediate any prob-lems you may encoun-ter. Make sure you get acopy of the company’sworkers compensationand liability insurancepolicies. If the firmdoesn’t have both pol-icies to give you, go toanother firm.

Avoid paying a lot ofmoney upfront so thecontractor has an in-centive to return and dothe work. I suggest fol-lowing the CincinnatiHome Remodeling Ordi-nance and limiting yourdown payment to nomore than 10 percent ofthe cost, except forspecial order items.

HowardAinHEY HOWARD!

Howdy Folks,Ruth Ann didn’t have

a chemo treatment lastweek. This week she hadone. So far it doesn’t hurther, thank God!

Theweek wasfull, sameas otherweeks. Iplantedsome morefall gardenspinachand moreonions. Welike the fallgardens. It

is so close to winter andthe garden items taste sogood. Maybe it’s becausewe know it won’t be longbefore we have cold andsnow!

The Bethel Tate foot-ball Homecoming paradewas a good one. Bigcrowds lots of people inthe parade. Then theywon their football game.They have also won theirother two games. Con-gratulations from the olefisherman and wife.

The wind last weekblew a big limb off theash tree. There was abarn on one side and agrape harbor on the oth-

er. The limb went downin the middle. Now wethink the Good Lorddirected the limb. Therewill be lots of wood forthe carpenter shop thiswinter and the littlelimbs will make good firestarters.

After the Homecom-ing parade, which wewere in for the LionsClub, the Grange washaving a bake sale at the360 Auction house. RuthAnn and I went down tohelp on the bake sale.The folks that run theauction are so glad whenthe Grange has the bakesale during the months ofJune, July and August. Itseems during these threemonths there is so muchfor the Grange to beinvolved with. The folkskeep asking when is theGrange going to be here.The 360 Auction suredraws a good crowd.

The Pierce family thathas the auction do a goodjob and are so friendly.They will meet you witha big smile. You probablywill see grandma pushingher grandson around in astroller. That makes thegrandson happy and alsograndpa. The grandson

likes to take great-grand-pa’s cap off his head andput it on his.

The event the BoarsHead Bait Shop held forautism last Saturday wasa great success. Theyraised $4,100. The ladythat heads up this groupwas so happy. Mike isalways doing somethingfor a worthy cause. Thatis so important. Hisgrandma was at theevent and sure enjoyedherself.

I was talking to Dan-nie Grant, they havesome wonderful pump-kins. They have threestores, one at BucktownRoad, one at Ohio 131below William’s Cornerand the third one at theMilford Garden Center.Each one will havepumpkins, along withother items.

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