BETHEL — In medievaltimes, the trebuchet, atype of catapult, was usedto break down castlewalls.

For the past 28 years,the contraption hasserved as the centerpiecein the World Champion-

ship Punkin Chunkin Con-test on the East Coast.

These days, the 7-foottall, 12-foot long devicealso known as a “pumpkinchunker,” has then liningup on weekends at a Cler-mont County farm.

“Our insurance guywasn’t too happy aboutthis, but the public lovesit,” said Doug Simmons,

who owns and operates asmall farm with his wife,Melissa. “We wind thetrebuchet up, hand peoplethe trigger, and theirpumpkin goes flying. Itthrows their pumpkin 300feet, about the length of afootball field.”

Each October, the Sim-mons family opens theirfarm of just under 20

acres to the public forweekend tours. Visitorscan pick their own pump-kins, corn and berries.Homemade jams and jel-lies as well as honey andhomegrown pickles canbepurchasedinthepump-kin shack. There’s also ahay ride on a wagon withreal hay, “not a trailerwith straw,” Doug Sim-mons says.

For the last threeyears, the star attractionhas been the trebuchet.

Batavia finished the season7-2-1 in league play, tied withNorwood in the American, and10-6-1 overall. The Bulldogs lostboth of their meetings with theIndians. The switch in divisionsbrought bigger challengesweek in and and week out. TheBulldogs responded well, de-spitehaving torelyonsome lessexperiencedplayers to step intobigger roles this year.

“Overall, the team transitionfrom the National to the Amer-ican was the biggest surprise.We lost somestrongplayers lastyear, and we came into the sea-son knowing that we would befacingbiggerschoolswithmorenumbers for 10 of our 16games,” said head coach KevinScheel. “This group of guysfought every game and we suc-ceeded in clinching a tie forleague championship.”

With its long history of suc-cess on the pitch, the Bulldogshavegrownaccustomedtoplay-ingwith a target on their backs.Against the other five teamsacross both division of theSBAAC who finished the yearwith winning records, the Bull-dogs posted a 4-3-1 mark. Theyexpect to take the opponent’sbestshoteachweek,andthe lev-

el of competition only intensi-fied in the new division.

“Over the years it has be-come the norm for our programand thus is more of an after-thought for most of us. We gointo every game knowing thatsomebody is out to knock us offour seat,” said Scheel. “I wel-come the challenge as it bringsgoodsoccer to the table, andhashelped make our spot in theAmericandivisionaveryenjoy-able and competitive one.”

Two of those wins againstsome of the top competition inthe SBAAC showed the Bull-dogs what they were capable ofthis season. Against Bethel-Tate, a team that finished in thetop 10 and was 9-1 at the time oftheirSept. 23matchup, theBull-dogs found themselves in a two-goal hole at halftime.

“We knew going in they hadoneofthemorepotentattacksintheSBAAC,” saidScheel. “Up tothis point in the season, we hadfailed to achieve that comebackvictoryinourotherthreeoppor-tunities.”

In the second half, the Bull-dogs rallied behind senior JakeGreiner. He notched one goaland two assists as Batavia ral-liedfora4-2win.Twodays later,the Bulldogs again came frombehind on the road against aquality SBAAC opponent, de-feating NewRichmond, 2-1.

“Thisbecameacatalyst lead-ing into league play on the backhalf of the season,” said Scheel.

After four-straight roadwins, the Bulldogs struggled tofind the back of the net over thefinal three matches of the sea-son.AscorelessdrawwithAme-lia and a home loss to Norwoodclosed out the regular season.TheBulldogs drew fifth-rankedIndianHill in the opening round

INDIAN HILL — Cincin-nati Country Day Schoolhas named Greg Ross thenew head coach of theboys varsity basketballteam.

Ross has been the as-sistant coach of the boysvarsity basketball teamfor the last 12 years andtook over as the interimhead coach in the middleof last season. The teamfinished 7-3 over the final10 games.

“Naming Greg Rossthe boys varsity basket-ball coach was an abso-lute pleasure,” said ChrisMilmoe, director of ath-letics. “He is knowledge-able about the game ofbasketball, his commit-ment to the school is un-questioned and his pas-sion forworkingwith stu-

dent-ath-letes isexception-al.”

Rosshasworked atCincinnatiCountry

Day School for the last 14years, serving as asso-ciate athletic director andcoaching football andbasketball.

“This is one of thehighlights of my career,”Ross said. “It has alwaysbeen one ofmygoals to betheheadcoachof theboysvarsity basketball teamat Cincinnati CountryDaySchool. I believewithmy experience and thetradition of excellence atCincinnati Country DaySchool, we can achieve

great things here.”Ross has high expecta-

tions for the team thisyear and moving for-ward. He plans to run anopen style of basketball.“The players are the fo-cus, not the system,” hesaid. “We need to be ableto adapt our strategiesand game plan around theathletes on the team.”

Defensively, Rossplans to run an aggres-sive and swarming styleof defense that will be thecalling card of the team.“Wewill be known for ourdefensive intensity.”

Ross lives in UnionTownship with his wife,Michelle, and two daugh-ters,CatherineandMade-lyn. Madelyn is a third-grader at CincinnatiCountry Day School.

Ally Brown has morethan 20 points more thanthe second-place offen-sive leader with Stone inseventh-place. Stone is afour-year player andtwo-year captain, whileAlly Brown is rewritingthe Amelia record booksin girls soccer with hercombination of speed,

power and finesse.On the defensive side,

her sisterAbbyBrown isjust as valuable.

“Abby’s tremendous,”Kemmer said. “She an-chors our defense at cen-ter back. They’re verycompetitive and that’swhat is so great aboutthese two. Even in prac-tice, with the smallestthing, they’regoingafterone another.”

Behind Abby Brownhas been sophomoreShelby Elder and juniorAnnaTessoff ingoal.Thepair split time, either byhalf or by game. Kem-mer said either wouldstart on other teams. To-gether, they combinedfor nine regular season

shutouts.“Our keepers had un-

der double digit saves inthe conference,” Kem-mer said. “That’s not justthe keepers, that’s thedefensewith Abby, Lind-say Buten and KayleeSimmonswhocamebackfrom being sick withmono.”

Pierce Township Fire Levy is avote for your safety

Your yes vote for the PierceTown-ship Fire Levy means you will be as-sured continued fire and emergencysafety for the services we currentlyenjoy.

We are in dire need of new fire en-gines, ambulances and safety equip-ment to serve our community in com-ing years. This levy is needed to re-place the loss of tax revenue from theclosing of theDukeEnergyBeckjordStation. There has not been an in-crease in safety services taxes in 10years,which indicates our leadershiphas maintained proper budget man-agement over that time period.

Some confusion exists over whatthecostwouldbeto typicalhomeown-ers. The term “market value” hasbeen bantered around causing resi-dents to think that their taxes weregoing to be increased by a hugeamount. Market value is what yourhomewouldsell for.Thecorrect termthat should be used in reference towhat you will pay for the tax levy istheappraisedvalueassetby theCler-mont County Auditor’s Office. If youwill go to the Auditor’s website (cler-montauditorrealestate.org) you cansee what the auditor has your home“appraised”for.Alsoonthewebsite isa box you can click on to show theamount you will pay.

For the vast majority of PierceTownship residents, passing this levythis means less than a dollar a day inincreased taxes for emergency ser-vices. That is a small price to pay tomaintain the quality service levelsand peace of mind we need and de-serve for a growing community.

Mark CannPierce Township

Food for thoughtThe voters of Pierce Township

needtoconsider therequest foranew2.8-mill levy from two aspects.

First, there is a definitive need toreplace the loss of revenue of$330,000 from the Beckjord powerplant and additional funding to main-tain the level of service that has re-sulted in an improved Insurance Ser-vices Office score. Equipment needsto be replaced and personnel costswill need to be adjusted to attractcompetent firefighter/emergencymedical technicians and staffing re-quirements.However, the addition of

two additional staff cars is debatableand there isnoaccountingfor thesaleof the old fire engine and pumpertruck to offset new purchases.

If we accept the Finance Commit-tee’s assessment that anadditional in-crease of $530,000 per year ($2.6mil-lion minus the $2.07 from 2013) andcombine that with the Beckjord loss,then$860,000 is theneededadditionalyearly revenue through 2019. There-fore, the $937,000 generated by thenew levy is 8.9 percent ($77,000)more than the needed additional rev-enue.

Secondly, the 2.8-mill levy is a con-tinuing levy. This is a levy that if itpasses is on the books forever. Theonlyway to get this levy off will be tofile a petition and have another voteto remove it from the books. In fair-ness to a continuing levy, the levywillbe reduced yearly (reduction fac-tored by the state of Ohio) to accom-modate the raise in values.

The trustees voted to place a con-tinuing levyon theballot even thoughthe same Finance Committee alsopresented them with a 2.8-mill 10-year levy proposal. Shouldn’t the vot-ers and new residents be allowed toeither adopt a renewal levy or re-placement levy after a predeter-mined time period instead of a con-tinuing levy?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Oct. 15 questionWhat is your favorite local Haunted

House or Halloween display? What doyou like about it?

“In1970 thenation’svery firstHal-loween Haunted House appeared inCincinnati. The Sycamore-Deer ParkJaycees in conjunctionwith old radiostationWSAI were responsible for it.DennyMcKeown, the garden expert,was the mastermind of the project.He asked my brother and I to helphim with it.

“My brother was a teacher at El-der and suppliedmost of the ghouliesand ghosties that bumped throughthe house with his students.

“I helped with the various ghastlyexhibits and went on to design manyof the next13 houses. Theymade a lotof money for the charities they sup-ported.

“But others were getting into thehaunting business. A lot of charitableinstitutions were interested in thephenomenal profits.

“Denny and I became involvedwith the Bob Hope House, but thevery best WSAI Haunted House wastheoneat theDollyCohenMansiononVictory Parkway. It was spectacularand my favorite.”

Oct. 8 questionAre you worried about the Ebola vi-

rus? What precautions are you takingandwhat should public health officialsbe doing to prevent an epidemic?

“My worry about the Ebola viruscomes from the positions that thegovernment and theCDChave taken,which appear to be completely politi-cal rather than prudent. How unfairand irresponsible of the governmentto send 3,000 of our preciousmilitarymembers to perform what they de-scribe as construction work, butwhichwill still put themincloseprox-imity to the transmission of theEbolavirus.”

THIS WEEK’S QUESTIONTwo women were killed when hit by avehicle while walking along Old Col-erain Avenue and East Miami RiverRoad earlier this month. What prec-uations do you take when walking?

Every week we ask readers a question they canreply to via email. Send your answers [email protected] withCh@troom in the subject line.

I want to thank Admin-istrator TimHershner andthe Pierce Township trust-ees for their responseregarding the plannedexpenditures for the pro-posed tax levy revenue.

The trustees are askingproperty owners to givethem an additional$937,000 to spend eachyear and expect the addi-tional revenue will covertheir needs for five years.

Below, I have used theestimates provided byMr.Hershner's recent articlewhere he spelled out whatthe new revenue from theproposed tax levy will bespent on. I have includedall of the equipment theywant to buy as well as themost costly scenario forthe labor issue, which ishiring three additional fulltime firemen.

The numbers belowhave been projected outfor five years.

New vehicles – $1mil-lion.

Recurring expenses.Gear – $150,000.Additional labor ex-

penses – $1,102,000.Loss revenue from

Duke – $1,650,000.Total proposed expendi-

tures – $3,902,000.Revenue from new tax

levy – $4,685,000.Difference – $783,000.The numbers show the

trustees are requesting

more thanthey actu-ally re-quire.

Thenew vehi-cle wishlist maybe consid-ered goodplanning,but will all

of these purchases reallybe required over the nextfive years? Cars andtrucks with proper mainte-nance can remain reliablepast 15 years of service.The proposed budget forThe Fire District Fundshows a balance of $1mil-lion at the end of 2015.

I applaud the trusteesfor being responsible inmaintaining some emer-gency funds, but the factsare the money is there tobuy any vehicle they mayrequire if the need shouldbecome absolutely neces-sary.

The tax revenue lossfrom the Duke Energyplant has been known foryears. A few years agoPierce Township sold sixacres of land next to myproperty to be used for thenew Kroger store. At thattime the trustees said theyneeded the revenue fromthe Kroger store to helpoffset the revenue losswhen Duke Energy closedtheir plant. So, can I as-

sume that some of thefuture tax loss has alreadybeen offset? Has any costcutting measures beenimplemented in the pastfew years to reduce theimpact of the coming reve-nue loss?

As a property owner Ihave my own budget. Overthe years the propertytaxes I pay have increasedand have become amoresignificant part of mybudget that I have littlecontrol over. I am alsokeeping in mind that theWest Clermont Schoolswill most likely be askingfor additional taxes some-time in the near future. SoI have to set priorities onwhere I want to spendmytax dollars.

I do not doubt thatPierce Township will re-quire additional revenuefor the fire department,but this levy in my opinionis requesting more thanthey have demonstrated aneed for. The only wayvoters have to controlwhat politicians spend is inthe voting booth. I urge thevoters of Pierce Townshipto vote no on the fire levyNov. 4. I urge the trusteesto find ways to reducecosts and come back with aless expensive wish list.

A couple of months go by andone day he collapses. He’s taken tothe emergency room and is diag-nosed with severe, uncontrolleddiabetes. He’s admitted to the hos-pital and after three days he’s dis-charged. After a couple of weeks hereceives a bill for a few thousanddollars.

So why couldn’t the patient see aprimary care physician and controlhis diabetes before he’s on the brinkof death? How come the hospital iswilling to treat him, even though hehas no insurance and will probablynot be able to pay his bill?

The simple answer is EMTALA(EmergencyMedical Treatmentand Labor Act). This law, signed byPresident Reagan, mandates allhospitals which receive paymentsfromMedicare to treat anybodywho comes into the emergencyroom, whether they have insuranceor not. It was passed in reaction toscenes in which patients who hadno insurance were transportedfrom one ER to the next, becausenobody wanted to treat them. Thatcaused uproar.

Now, if thatpatient wouldhave seen a pri-mary care physi-cian the cost ofthe exam andlabs would prob-ably have beenless than $300.His medicationswould cost $12 amonth. This ismuch less than

the bill the hospital produced.It also doesn’t seem logical from

society’s point of view. We care somuch for human life that in case ofemergency we treat everybodywithout thought to cost. On theother hand we don’t care enough toprevent those emergencies, even ifthis can save society a lot of money.

EMTALA costs hospitals andphysicians millions of dollars a yearbecause of unpaid bills. This bur-den is passed on to others. With therising number of Americans withdiabetes such a problem will onlymultiply as with the cost associatedwith it.

So now we have to decide. Ifhuman life is so important we can-not put a price tag on it, we shouldoffer everybody health insurance.It might even save us money. If wefeel it’s not fair to burden otherswith someone’s health if that indi-vidual cannot afford it, we need tocancel EMTALA. When would wemake this tough decision?

Basic question abouthealth care: Pay now,or pay (more) later?

Sifting through and un-derstanding the services,benefits and rights for sen-iors with regard toMedi-care can be arduous andconfusing. Themaze withinwhich onemust navigate inorder tomake informeddecisions that will take youin the right direction withyourMedicare coveragecan be overwhelming, atbest.

Throughout the year,Clermont Senior Serviceshosts educational outreachprograms and invites thecommunity to attend, free-of-charge, to learn frominteresting and information-al presenters, and also tohave informal discussionfor asking questions of theexperts.

In our upcoming series,OSHIIP (Ohio Senior HealthInsurance InformationProgram) representativeswill provide free healthinsurance information relat-ed toMedicare, as well as aMedicare Update. Accord-ing to OSHIIP, “Health careinsurance has been chang-ing for years, and 2014 willnot be any different.Changes are coming, and weneed to be educated andupdated. This presentationwill help attendeesmakemore informed health caredecisions.”

Medicare was the cam-paign promise of PresidentJohn F. Kennedy and al-

though hisprema-ture deathdid notallow himto fulfillhis prom-ise, Presi-dent Lyn-don John-son wonpassage ofthe plan in

the form of amendments tothe Social Security Act.Passed in 1965, Title VIII ofthe amendment establishedMedicare and Title IX es-tablishedMedicaid.

Medicare works withdoctors, hospitals, and otherhealth care providers tomake sure patients get coor-dinated care –which is com-prehensive, primary care,especially for chronically illpatients – while also work-ing to avoid duplication ofservices and prevent med-ical errors.

In a nutshell, MedicarePart A &B is now the healthinsurance plan for all eligi-ble individuals age 65 andolder and certain youngerdisabled persons. Becauseof its universal availability,almost everyone over age65 in this country is coveredbyMedicare. It is estimatedthat there are approximate-ly 40millionMedicare bene-ficiaries nationwide.

In addition, Medicare is aprincipal provider of home

health care and hospice carein the nation. Home healthcare, instead of nursingcare, is often used as analternative for hospitalpatients recovering fromhip or foot surgery, jointreplacement or complica-tions of diabetes. In addi-tion, homebound patientsnot having spent time in ahospital, but suffering fromcongestive heart failure orother disabling conditionsare sometimes covered with“episodes” at home.

There are other optionsthat maywork for peoplewho require less thanskilled care, or who requireskilled care for only briefperiods of time.Many peo-ple with long-term skilledcare needs require a leveland amount of care thatcannot be easily handledoutside of a nursing home.

Medicare can be a com-plex system to navigate.Join us for an upcomingfree programTuesday, Oct.28, from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m.at the Union Township CivicCenter.

NEW RICHMOND — A recordnumber of entries took part inthe 22nd International Card-board Boat Regatta, the annualrace that saw New Richmond’spolice chief win the TitanicAward for Most Dramatic Sink-ing.

“Everybody likes to see agood sinking,” said “CardboardRay” Perszyk, who’s been in-volved with the race since itsearly days. “It’s like going to aNASCAR race. You’ve got tohave a good wreck once inawhile to liven things up.”

Held as part of New Rich-mond’s annual River Days cele-bration, the Aug. 16 event drewabout 70 participants using 60boats. That’s up from last year’srace that featured 55 boats.

This year, participantsbrought their unique cardboardcreationswithnameslikeShark-

nado, War Hawk and SinisterRide from as far as Columbusand Dayton, Ohio. In past years,boaters have traveled from asfar as Hawaii to compete, orga-nizers said.

(Police) Chief (Randy) Har-veyswearshe’sgoingtowhiphisopponent in the Chiefs Chal-lengenextyear,”CardboardRaysaid. “His mini (cardboard) po-lice cruiser wasn’t very seawor-thy. Chief Harvey had two sink-ingsbefore the starting line, andhe had to walk to shore.”

The international cardboardregatta – one of the oldest suchraces in the nation – owes itsstart to Shanna and Jim Morar-ity, who own the historic Spring-er House in NewRichmond.

The Moraritys learned aboutcardboard boat racing when arelative of one of Jim’s employ-ees traveled from New Zealandto theU.S. to take part in a card-board boat race in a nearbystate.

ShannaMoraritysaidsheand

her husband decided to put onwhat was then known as “TheSpringer House Regatta” as away to promote New Richmondand its easy access to the OhioRiver.

In the beginning, there wereonlytwoclasses:pre-madeboatsand instant boats created withcardboard, tape and plastic pro-vided by the organizers.

In the interest of expediency,the “instant boat” classwas soondropped.

As the race grew in popular-ity, theMoraritysopted to turn itover to a committee of volun-teers, who now put on the Inter-national Cardboard Boat Regat-ta with dozens of classes as partof New Richmond’s annual Riv-er Days celebration.

“It’s just a fun event that putsa positive light on the village,”Cardboard Ray said. “I think ifpeople walk away with a smileon their face, it was all worth-while.”

Well, it’s done. Theentire veggie garden isnow nothing but a flatfield, ready to be plowedunder for the winter.Pumpkins and gourdshave replaced the pots ofherbs and flowers nearthe doorways. Just forfun, I put a little pumpkindisplay by the chickencoop. It will be interest-ing to see how long it’s

undis-turbedby thenightlyfour-footedmaraud-ers.

I’mhoping toget toour localfarmers’market

this week to make thisreally good and well-tested recipe for applebutter. What I love aboutthis apple butter is itspurity, just apples, juice,sugar if you like, andwarming spices. Butthere is a secret ingredi-ent…

Crockpot applebutter

Wow, this recipe hasbeen making the roundslately. My oldest and bestfriend, Carol Spry Vanov-er (you probably feel likeyou know her, I’ve men-tioned her that much!)first told me about this.Carol received a bunchof apples from a friendand made apple butter.Except for her “secret”ingredient, I couldn’tbelieve Carol’s is thesame recipe I used yearsago when we had an ap-ple orchard. Wonderfulfor sharing with familyand friends. One otherthought: I don’t add asmuch sugar as it calls for.

14 nice sized apples2 cups apple juice or

pure apple cider1 cup sugar or howev-

er much you want, foreach pint of sievedcooked fruit (see below)

1 teaspoon cinnamon,1/2 teaspoon each groundallspice and cloves foreach pint of sievedcooked fruit (see below)

1/2 cup “secret” ingre-dient: sweet white wine -Carol usedMoscato (op-tional)

DirectionsCore and quarter ap-

ple (do not peel). Com-bine with juice insprayed crockpot. Coverand cook on low for 10-12hours or high for 2 - 4hours. When fruit is ten-der, you’ve cooked it longenough. Put through foodmill to remove peel.

Measure cooked fruitand return to crock pot.For each pint of fruit,

add up to 1 cup of sugaror other sweetener, 1teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2teaspoon allspice and 1/2teaspoon cloves. Stirwell. Cover and cookagain on high for 6 - 8hours, stirring aboutevery 2 hours.

Use a combination ofapples if you can, somesweet, some tart. Theonly one I’d steer clear ofis red delicious since theflavor doesn’t carrythrough.

Readers want to know:Floating “severed hands”for Halloween punch.

Fill clear plasticgloves (not powdered)with your favorite bever-age. I like red fruit punchor something clear. Ifdesired, before pouringinto glove, stir in a fewdrops of red food col-oring. Tie gloved handwith a rubber band, se-curely tightened. Placeon cookie sheet. If youlike, place over a smallplastic bowl to create a“clutching” hand. Freezeuntil hard. To removefrom glove, cut belowknot and peel back glove.To assure you don’t breakoff fingers, use scissorsto cut around fingers.Place in punch rightbefore serving.

The Ultimate MeatResource: Cook’s Illus-trated Meat book. Nokidding, put this hardcover beauty on yourwish list, or grab a copynow. This comprehensive“bible” of meat cookeryis just what I’d expectfrom Cook’s. You’ll feellike you’re in a cookingclass with each recipe,they are that detailed andtested umpteen timesuntil the word that de-scribes the recipe is“perfect”. From slowroasted bone-in porkroast to the perfect roastturkey and everything inbetween, nothing is leftto chance. There’s also awealth of tips through-out.
