AMELIA — Not all mail iscreated equal – even mailfrom theUnited States PostalService.

“The motto ... is if it’s toogood to be true, it is,” saidDa-vid Friend, Amelia police

chief.“I just want-

ed to bring thisup because itlooks reallyreal – and peo-ple trust theUnited StatesPostal Service.”

Friend wasreferring to

mail fraud residents in thevillage have experienced re-cently.

One resident supposedlywon a grand prize, where an

armed car wasgoing to pull upto her housewith balloonsand deliver $1million.

“All she hadto do was mail$200 to thesepeople – so shedid. A few days

later she got another one inthe mail that (said) she wasqualified for the mega-mil-lion (prize) and she kindacaught on then,” Friend said.

Another resident was se-lected to do a “secret” shop-ping experience with West-ernUnion. Again, the requestwas simple: send us some ofyour money and you’ll be re-imbursed.

“What they do is put some

figure under $1,000 ... some-thing under what the postal(service) will do as far asmoney orders,” Friend said.

“This goes into a bank ac-count and it filters down intoNigeria – it’s a Nigerian oper-ation. And Western Union issomeplace in Texas or Flori-da, so you’re money is gone.”

Friend said residentswon’t know what is going onuntil four or five days laterwhen they get a notificationfrom the bank that their ac-count is overdrawn.

“It’s just a mess,” he said.“They send these out by

the thousands so you canimagine that if even 10 per-cent would go for this lookhow much money they wouldget.”

Council member ChrisDickerson received a fraudu-lent money order last year.

“Same exact thing,” hesaid.

Dickerson caught on, say-ing it looked fishy beforesending any money.

“Sometimes people don’t(catch on). They think or theywish,” Friend said.

Residents can hold USPSmoney orders up to the lightto figure out if they are real.They should see:

» Ben Franklin water-marks repeated on the leftside, from top to bottom.

» A vertical, multicoloredthread that weaves in and outof the paper to the right of theFranklin watermark. In thelight, the thread appears con-tinuouswith alternating hori-zontal dark and light bars be-hind it and the letters “USPS”repeating backward and for-ward throughout the thread.

To verify a money order,residents can call 866-459-7822.

UNION TWP. —Candidates fortheWest Clermont Local SchoolDistrict Board of Education re-cently weighed in on issuesranging from finances to testscores during a forum.

Participants in a Meet theCandidates forum Oct. 21 wereincumbent Denise Smith andchallengersSaraHeimbold, JimLewis, MarkMerchant, Jim Ru-dy, David Schaeff and SteveWaldmann.

They are all vying for threeopen seats on the school board.

Opening comments beganwith Heimbold, a PTO memberfor Summerside ElementarySchool, who said she wants tobringbackbusingandprogramsthat have been lost due to fiscalcuts.

Lewis, a former supervisorfor the U.S. Postal Service, saidhe would offer “a different per-spective than educators.”

Merchant, a contractor andformersubstitute teacher, saidabackground in business hashelped him “think progressive-ly”and learnhowtoraisemoneyand recruit volunteers.

“I’m very interested inchanging state funding,” saidRudy, a retired French andSpanish teacher.

Schaeff, a revenue agentwith the IRS, said he is cam-paigning because he is worriedabout people moving out of thedistrict.

Smith, who has served on theschool board for fouryears, saidher focus is providing studentswithagoodeducation ina fiscal-ly responsible manner.

Waldmann, a business man-ager for the Kings Local SchoolDistrict, said he doesn’t have apersonal agenda. “I want to dowhat is in thebest interest of thechildren,” he said.

Candidates were askedwhether they supported a five-year, 5.8-mill additional tax-hikeproposal on the Nov. 5 ballot.

“I don’t support the magni-

tudeof the levy,” saidMerchant.Rudy said he supported the

levy, but considered it “a short-term fix.”

Schaeff said he also support-ed the levy, but acknowledged itwas “a divisive issue” in thecommunity.

Smith said she “absolutely”supports the levy. “We do nothave a spending problem,” shesaid. “We have a revenue prob-lem.”

Waldmann said success ofthe levy is necessary to bringbackmusic and art.

Heimbold also said she alsoconsiders the levy a short-termfix but one that is needed. “We

During the Octobermeeting, board membersapproved a number of re-vised policies to bring thedistrict in alignment withstate standards.

These are policieswhich were part of thestate budget bill passedthis summer, said Super-intendent Keith Kline.

The district needs topass these policies to stay

currentwith statelaw, hesaid.

Policiesapprovedby theboard in-cluded:

»Third-grade reading cri-teria.

» Anti-harassmentpolicies in relation to ad-ministrators, profession-al and classified staff.

» Anti-harassmentpolicies in relation to stu-dents including bullyingand other aggressive be-havior.

» Medical leave in-

The most outspokenopponent to the levywasLewis.

“We are not spendingour funds wisely,” hesaid.

“We are overtaxed.”Candidates were also

asked how they wouldimprove student perfor-mance and test scores.

“The school boardneeds to set clear goalsand expectations,” saidSchaeff.

Smith said the dis-trict is already in the

midst of changes associ-ated with new state re-quirements.

It is important to“work with teachers toraise the bar,” she said.

Waldmann said heconsiders a strong read-ing program vitally im-portant.

Heimbold said it is es-sential the school boardset clearly defined goalsand communicate whatit expects from theteachers.

Lewis is an advocateof pay for performance.

Merchant agreed col-laboration involving allparties is essential.

MILFORD— It took fouryears of research and awhole lot of jalapeno pep-pers, but a city business-man has won an interna-tional award for his South-west-style barbecuesauce.

Greg “G Willie” Wil-liams, owner of G WillieBBQ in Milford, sees noneed for false modesty.

“We make and sell thebest barbecue sauce in thecountry,” exulted Wil-liams after his sauce,“Hole Lotta Hotta,” tookfirst place in the 2014 Sco-vie Awards’ American-style, hot barbecue-saucedivision.

G Willie BBQ also sells“Sweeeet Momma” sauce.

“I had to make a sweetsauce for my wife, whocan’t bear jalapeno pep-pers,” saidWilliams, an in-formation technology spe-cialist for KDMPOP Solu-tions Group, an industrialprintingcompanyinEven-dale.

Williams said his fam-ily has always loved out-door cooking.

“Dad was a grill freakand Mom was an accom-plished gourmet cook,”Williams said.

“Our love of gourmetfoods led all ofmysiblingsatonepointoranother intovarious roles in the foodindustry.

“I always had a thingfor grilling, but got bit bythegrillingbughard in the1990s,” Williams said.

“I started experiment-ing with smoked meatsand southern barbecue in1996.”

Williams, who lives inMilford with his wife andbusiness partner, Dianne,opened G Willie BBQ in2010.

So what is he willing toreveal about his sauces?Just this:

“Both of our sauces aretraditional recipes thatwecameupwith through trialand error,” Williams said.

“We tried using somemore exotic ingredients,like bourbon at first, butdue to cost and difficultiesin production, we foundthat sticking to traditionalingredients was the best.

“Obviously, we werecorrect,” Williams said.

G Willie BBQ has nostorefront in Milford; nordoes it operate a restau-rant.

Thebusinesssells to re-tailers from a warehousein Anderson Township.

Williams plans to beginworking soon with a dis-tributor to help get HoleLotta Hotta and SweeeetMomma into more stores.

He’s already sellingbarbecue sauces to busi-nesses on the east side ofthe region, including Jun-gle Jim’s InternationalMarket in Eastgate andFairfield,Lehr’sMarket inMilford, Newtown FarmMarket and Shaw FarmsProduce in Miami Town-ship.

G Willie BBQ custom-ers soon will have moreflavors from which to

choose.A mustard barbecue

Emily DeWitt-Cisnerosis a producer of the annualScovie Awards, whichhave been given out forthepast18years at a fiery-foods competition spon-sored by a group based inAlbuquerque, N.M.

She said in a press re-lease that therewerenear-ly 865 entries in the con-test this year from busi-nesses in the UnitedStates, Australia, Austria,Canada,Ecuador, St. Lucia

and the United Kingdom.G Willie BBQ’s award

comesasnosurprisetotheAmerican Cornhole Or-ganization, also based inMilford, which claimsHole Lotta Hotta as its of-ficial barbecue sauce.

Williams long has sup-ported the AmericanCornhole Organization,serving as emcee at na-tional cornhole contests.

So he decided to dosomething nice for the or-ganization.

“Our tribute to thegame is in thename: ‘Hole’Lotta Hotta,” he said.

BATAVIA — On the one hand,seven minutes. On the otherhand, 18 seconds.

Either way you look at it, Ba-tavia High School senior twinsHunter and Griffin Stith areabout as close as close gets.

Whether it’s in birth order,where Hunter arrived sevenminutesbeforehisbrother, or inrunning order, where Griffinholds an 18-second edge overHunter in their respective per-sonal bests in cross country.

Yes, they tease each otherover their time differences, butthey are very much united intheir love of and talent for run-ning.

The pair finished 1-2 in theDivision II district cross coun-try meet Oct. 19 at Voice ofAmerica Park, with Griffinearning the district champion-ship in 16:48.16

“They set the tone for every-one else,” said Batavia headcoach Dona Braswell. “You canbuild a pretty good team whenyou have Nos. 1 and 2 runnerslike that.”

And she has. The Bulldogsfinished as team runner-up, twopoints behind Indian Hill in thedistrict meet.

Junior Ryan Cooper finishedfifth in the district. SeniorAutinSammons took 15th, sophomoreAndrew Truske placed 17th,

freshman was Joey Royer andjunior Xavier Hendyx landed25th.

For the twins,Oct. 26markedtheir fourth consecutive run inthe regional meet in Troy. It’sthe second time they’ve quali-fied with the whole team.

“It’s really flat,” Griffin saidof the regional course. “It’s a ba-sic course. There’s a lot of com-petition,soit’seasytopaceyour-self and see where you need tobe.”

Said Hunter, “It’s teamworkthe first couple miles, then it’sjustarace.Yougoashardasyou

can the last mile.”Griffin ran the regional race

in 17:16.84 to finish 31st individ-ually. Hunter clocked in at 17:29to finish 46th. The Bulldogs fin-ished 11th as a team.

Neither Stith believes in thetelepathy often attributed totwins, but both say they areaware of one another while run-ning.

“He’s the same as me,” Grif-fin said. “Aggressive. Competi-tive.”

Hunter said they’re not real-ly known for their kick. “We tryto be consistent through thewhole race.”

Braswell said Hunter hasbeen working a lot on his thirdmile.

“He’s really good the firsttwo, but we’re trying to get himto finish more consistently.Griffin just likes to go out andrun it.Wewant to him to be nearthe front,” Braswell said.

MT. WASHINGTON — Lastyear, no big surprise.

The senior-dominated 2012McNicholas High School vol-leyball team reached the re-gional finals. The Rocketscame up on the short end of afive-set match against leaguerival Kettering Alter andmissed a chance at the finalfour.

This year, who knew?Five of the six starters from

what had been McNick’s best-ever team at 25-2 graduated,leaving head coach DennisMurphy with a lot of questionmarks

Lucky for the Rockets, theone returning starterwasHan-nah Taylor.

The 5-foot-11 middle hitterfrom Amelia earned GirlsGreater Catholic League Cen-tral player of the year honorsafter a regular season inwhichshe led the league in every at-tacking statistic. She was topthree in the GGCL defensivestats.

All without playing on theyear-round club circuit.

“Normally toplayat the lev-el she plays, you have to playclubball,”Murphysaid. “She isexceedingly athletic.”

More than her impressivenumbers, Murphy said Taylorgrew into a leader.

“Lastyearshewasmoreofacomplimentary player to ouroutside hitters,” he said. “Noweverybody knows she’s the oneto stop and her hitting percent-age has actually gone up quitea bit this year. I’m more sur-

prised now when she hits oneout than when she puts oneaway.

“She’s a very competitivekid. Competitive and smart.She’s the kind of kid who whenshe practices and messes up,she asks what she did wrongandwhat she needs to do to getit right. Then she puts in thework to get it right.”

Taylor said she didn’t minddonning the leadershipmantle.

“I kind of like it better,” she

said. “I’m the oldest on theteam now and the youngerplayerskindof lookup tome. Itwas a hard adjustment. I lovedmy seniors last year. But I likebeing the senior this year.”

Taylor,whoalsoplaysshoot-ing guard for the Rockets inbasketball, said she likes bothsports equally, with a slightedge to whichever one hap-pens tobe in seasonat the time.

About 20 years ago, theBoosters of ImmaculateHeart of Mary parish andthe Forest Hills YouthBasketball Associationcreated the Big East Bas-ketball League.

TheBEBLwassetup togive boys with a love forbasketball another outletfor competition.

The leaguemeeting is 7

p.m.,Wednesday,Nov.6, inthe cafeteria at IHMSchool.

Depending on the sizeof their school, boysusual-ly get divided up amongthemultiple teams in theirgrade level.

In their respectiveleagues, these teams oftenget put in different divi-sions, so they don’t see

each other all season.In the BEBL, the divi-

sions are set up by grade,with 8-12 teams per grade.Historically, each divisionhas been a blend of teamsfrom parochial and publicschools, from the south-east side of Cincinnati andwest Clermont County.

Another special aspectof the Big East Basketball

League is community in-volvement. Last season,the Forest Hills SchoolDistrict provided facili-ties toBEBLatNagelMid-dle School, St ThomasMore Parish, and McNi-cholas High School. Pro-ceeds collected from con-cessions and admissionsgo to the organizationsthat staff the facilities.

According to JackRunk, director of The For-est Hills Youth BasketballOrganization (FHYBA),their organization makesan annual contribution toTurpin and Anderson highschools athletic programsfrom theirBEBL revenue.

The season runs fromDecember into earlyMarch. Teams play a 10-

gameregular seasonandapostseason tournament.Thisyear theywill includegrades 3-6. Players on thedivision winning and tour-namentfinalists’ teamsre-ceive awards.

FALL BALL

The Beechmont Soccer Club Eagles U13 girls are Fall Ball finalists. Despite injuries tosome players earlier in the season and during the tournament, the girls kept pushingforward to reach the finals. Each game throughout the weekend saw improved playboth individually and as a team. Playing against teams from within the CincinnatiUnited Soccer League and Buckeye Premier Youth Soccer League, the girls did notallow a single goal in pool play. For the weekend, the team allowed just ONE goal,and that came during a 1-0 loss in the finals at the hands of a state-level team fromPride Soccer Club (Columbus). In front, from left, are Isabel McCahon, Ellie Fullerton,Regan Gable, Madison Kattine, Alexis Zinkhen and Kayla Nichols.

MT. WASHINGTON —The forward pass dom-inates football today likeat no other time in the his-tory of the game.

So maybe a littlestrange to find McNicho-las High School – one ofthe early adopters of thespreadoffense in thedaysof Bryan and Brad Cupitomore than a decade ago –is home to the leadingrusher in the GreaterCatholic League Coed.

Maybe stranger tolearn the leadingrusher isjunior quarterback LukeSulken. And maybestrangest of all to learnSulken had been a receiv-er most of his life prior tothis season.

“He’s a gifted athlete,”McNick head coach MikeOrlando said. “He’s one ofthose kids who could playjust about any position.He was a slot receiver forus last year and you couldsee he had good hands,good feet, good decisions.So we asked him tochange.

“I don’t know that justanybodywouldbeselflesslike that and make thatswitch, but it made themostsensetoputourmostathletic player at QB andget the ball in his handsevery play.”

Sulken said he wel-comed the challenge.

“Anybody is going tobe nervous and excitedgetting to play varsityquarterback,” he said.“Butonceyougetacouplegames into the season yougetmore comfortable andless nervous. You can justplay and not think asmuch.”

Early nerves notwith-standing, Sulken said thebiggest adjustment wasnot in his head, but in hisfeet.

“The footwork was thehardest part,” he said.“Receiver is all about

footwork, too, but it’s adifferent kind of foot-work. If you don’t get thefeet right, you can’t getback to pass or forward torun.

“Idida lot of coneworkand working with dum-mies getting my balancedown and getting a senseof gravity.”

Sulken grew up watch-ing his older brother, Ja-cob, as a three-year start-er at quarterback for Be-thel-Tate High School.Luke played in Bethelyouth leagues from age 9until he started highschool himself.

“It’sbeenaworkinpro-gress, but it’s been goodwork,” Orlando said. “It’sbeen a progression. Hemakes a handful of playseach game that are out-standing. But top to bot-

tom, even learning a newposition, you look at himand say, ‘Of course he’sthe one you want in thatspot.He’s the onewhowilllead us.’

“He’s engulfed in it.Hestudies film at lunch. Heputs in the time on thefield.”

“It all starts with thefront line,” Sulken said.“If they do their job, theymake you look a lot betterthan you are. They’vemade me look really goodthis year.”

The Rockets look goodas a team, controllingtheir own destiny in thequest for reaching the Di-vision IV playoffs andwinning their league.

“I’m happy, but there’salways room for improve-ment,” Sulken said. “No-body’s perfect.”

In the last few years thetownship has lost over $3

million in annual revenuefrom state reductions. How-ever we have not reducedservices. In fact we becamethe only township in the coun-try with all accredited ser-vices.

I even voted to repeal aproperty tax that wewill allrealize next year. I don’t un-derstandwhy Johnwants topaint a picture of doom andgloom.

The trustees in the last four

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

How does House Bill 59impact the taxes of West Cler-mont residents? I am writingin response to incorrect in-formation that was presented

in Viewpointsregarding thechangesHouse Bill 59imposes onschool districtlevies.

HB59 doesnot increaseor change thecost of anylevies cur-rently beingcollected.

HB59 eliminates the 10 per-cent and 2.5 percent rollbackreimbursement payments ofresidential taxes for futurelevies only. The state willcontinue to fund the rollbackportion for West Clermont’sexisting levies.

Passage of the 5.8-mill levyon the ballot this Novemberwill not raise the taxes onpreviously passed levies.

HB59 did eliminate therollbacks for future levies;therefore the proposed 5.8-mill levy on the ballot Novem-ber 5 will not be eligible forrollbacks.

What does this mean forour residents? Prior to thepassage of this bill, a 5.8-milllevy on a $100,000 homewould have generated anannual tax bill of $177.63, withthe state providing an addi-tional $25.37.

Since the passage of HB59,the state will no longer fundthe rollbacks. A 5.8-mill levypassed in November of 2013will generate an annual taxbill of $203.99 on that same$100,000 home.

The Clermont County audi-tor’s website calculates theannual levy cost on eachhome in the West ClermontSchool District. You can findthat information at www.cler-montauditor realestate.org.

In addition, I can bereached at 943-5000 to assistany homeowner in calculating

the cost of the levy for theirhome.

While the writer of thatletter did not cite accurateinformation concerningHB59, I do agree with hisopinion that school funding inOhio is broken. While we allwish the state would ade-quately fund our schools, itdoes not.

Our current system relieson local levies to providemuch needed funding. Leviesare not allowed to grow withinflation nor are they in-creased to cover cuts in statefunding. Districts must re-turn to the ballot to secureadditional funds to coverthose items.

Nov. 5 is an important dayfor our community. Pleasereview the facts, and seewhat a positive difference thepassage of this levy willmake.

Alana Cropper is treasurer of theWest Clermont Local School Dis-trict.

Bill won’t raise taxeson previous levies

I, Raymond Lembke, amrunning for election as a judgeof the Clermont CountyMuni-cipal Court.

I am a native of ClermontCounty. Mywife and I live onthe land I grew up on in PierceTownship, as a native of Cler-

mont.After my

1977 gradua-tion fromNewRichmondHigh School, IreceivedmyB.A. in 1980fromNorth-

western University, then grad-uated in the top 10 percent ofmy law school class at Vander-bilt University School of Lawin 1983. I have practiced law inSouthwestern Ohio for the last29 years.

Starting in 2012, I havebeen recognized as an Ohio“Super Lawyer” by ThomsonReuters. This is an honor forwhich you are nominated andevaluated by other lawyers.Only 5 percent of the lawyersin Ohio are so recognized.

My experience far exceedsthat of my opponent includinghis two-month experience asinterim judge.

Formy entire 29 years as alawyer, mywork has beenhandling cases in court, in-

cluding theMunicipal Courtsin Clermont andHamiltonCounties, Common PleasCourts, several of the OhioCourts of Appeals, and theOhio Supreme Court; as wellas Federal Courts in Ohio,Kentucky, and other states.

I knowwell what judgescan do to help or hinder thefull and fair presentation of acase. Also, I have never hadthe luxury or desire to handlejust one or two kinds of cases.

I have handled cases rang-ing from health care to truck-ing, zoning, and fraud; but myopponent has no civil caseexperience.

ManyMunicipal Courtcases are criminal cases. Mostof those are prosecuted by theprosecutor’s office. Assistantprosecutors argue cases inMunicipal Court daily. Allthree of the currentMunicipalCourt judges are former pros-ecutors.

My opponent spent hisentire legal career as an assis-tant prosecutor, until Augustof this year. If your familymember is charged with acrime, would you be confidentthat they would get a fair trialand the full presumption ofinnocence required by law ifyour judge was a prosecutorjust a fewmonths ago?

I would consider possiblealternative sentencing solu-tions to relieve the overcrowd-ing and taxpayer expense inthe jails in Clermont.

I have no ties to any officeor group, like the prosecutor’soffice, which constantly hascases inMunicipal Court andhas a stake in how those casesare decided. I am not endorsedby any government official.

My campaign is a group ofindividuals who live in andcare about our County. I amnot beholden to anyone. And Ido not feel entitled to be ajudge based on County affili-ations or endorsements.

But I do feel ClermontCounty residents deserve achoice of a qualified candidateoutside the Batavia powerstructure.

My allegiance is to the law,to which I have given the last33 years of my life.

The length and breadth ofmy legal experience, andmyindependence and impartial-ity, makeme the better choiceforMunicipal Court judge onNov. 5.

Raymond Lembke is a candidatefor Clermont County MunicipalCourt judge.

Legal experience,independence key in judge race

My name is KevinMiles andI ask for your vote on Nov. 5,for Clermont CountyMunicipalCourt judge.

I am currently serving as ajudge of the Clermont CountyMunicipal Court. I am runningto keepmy position so that Imay continue to positively im-pact the community and judi-

cial system inwhich I liveand serve.

I haveproudly ded-icatedmy13-year career toprotecting thecitizens ofClermontCounty, first as

an assistant prosecuting at-torney, and now as a judge.

As a former prosecutor, whooften acted as the voice forchild victims of violent crime, Iam proud to say that I servedthe victims and community inthat position. That unique expe-rience gives me an insight andempathy into victims of crimeand their treatment within ourjustice system.

I am themost experiencedcandidate for the position.There is no substitute for actualexperience in the courtroom inwhich you are a judge.

Ninety-nine percent of thelarge caseload handled by thecourt includesmisdemeanorcriminal and traffic matters.These cases often involve com-plex search and seizure issuesand require the judge to pos-sess an excellent workingknowledge of the criminal andtraffic code.

I have an extensive back-ground in criminal law as theformer chief assistant prose-cuting attorney for the Cler-mont County Prosecutor’s Of-fice who was in charge of theentire criminal division in-cludingMunicipal Court.

As judge, I have establisheda track record of running a fair

and efficient courtroom. Thereis no on-the-job learning need-ed. I have proven experience asa judge and of being impartialto all who appear before thecourt.

I possess the proven experi-ence to make sound decisionsfrom the bench and am acutelyaware of the specific problemsfacingMunicipal Court.

I am now successfully utiliz-ing alternativemeans of in-carceration for non-violentoffenders. I have blended formsof incarceration with program-ming to provide a treatmentcomponent to sentencing forthose individuals sufferingfrom the epidemic of heroin usein our County.

These efforts seek to punishthese offenders while freeingup valuable jail beds for violentoffenders and saving taxpayers’dollars.

I have been endorsed by theClermont County RepublicanParty, the Fraternal Order ofPolice, Ohio Valley Lodge No.112, Cincinnati Right to LifePAC, and the Buckeye FirearmsAssociation PAC.

The cases that come beforeour courts daily deal with realpeople with real concerns. Formost, it is the only time theywill be before a court.

I possess the required judi-cial temperament to listen toboth sides, apply life experi-ence and common sense to theissues and to treat all involvedwith fairness, courtesy anddignity.

I invite everyone to comeobserveme in court for them-selves and see how I conductthe docket on a daily basis. It isyour courtroom.

I respectfully request yourvote to keep judge KevinMilesinMunicipal Court on Nov. 5.

Kevin Miles is judge of the ClermontCounty Municipal Court.

Miles has trackrecord of fair,efficient courtroom

Last week’s questionDo you agree with Gov. John

Kasich’s attempts to bypass thestate legislature to secure fund-ing for Medicaid expansion?Why or why not?

“Yes. Why wouldn’t we wanttax dollars we are alreadypaying come back to ourstate?”

D.A.

“The ends never justify themeans.

“Since this move was madepossible by the Speaker of theOhio House and the MajorityLeader of the Senate we con-servatives have more thanKasich to blame for this.

“I don’t see how any think-ing conservative can supportthe Republican party after thisoutrage.”

T.H.

“There are a few Repub-licans in Ohio who understandhow risky the game they areplaying is. Kasich appears tobe one of them, on severalimportant issues.

“Health care in the UnitedStates is grossly unfair, and itneeds to be improved. Refus-ing to allow change is not anoption.

“The Party of No will be-come the Party of Not, andthere may still be time for afew smart people to removethemselves from the sinkingship.”

N.F.

“Yes, I do support expansionof Medicaid. What’s amazing isa conservative governor goingout of his way to help the poorand elderly in Ohio!”

OWENSVILLE — When askedif the village building is haunt-ed, council member KimberlyBeuke didn’t deny it.

“Wehave people come in andmonitor theghost activityatvil-lage hall,” Beuke said.

“I’ve never gone up and wit-nessed it.”

The building was originallybuilt as a Methodist church in1859, said Richard Crawford,author of “Uneasy Spirits:Ghost Stories&HauntedPlaces

of ClermontCounty.”

The buildingsits on the side ofa home onceowned by a wid-ow namedNellie,he said.

When thechurch was builtNellie was

forced to move out, Crawfordsaid.

“We don’t know where shewent,” he said.

“She still haunts the place.You can hear people running upanddownthesteps.Thetemper-ature drops incredibly, papersare thrown off desks (and) thecopy machine starts by itself.”

While Nellie has beenwidelyreported to be the ghost haunt-ingOwensville, a group of para-normal investigators believe itcould be something else.

“We’ve had quite a few expe-riences going on there,” saidGreg Pollitt, the founder ofParanormal Nights.

“(We’ve had an) interactionwith an entity we believe couldbe a child and an elderly gentle-man.”

Pollitt and his team of inves-tigatorshavespentmanynights

at the Owensville building overthe years.

“It could be spiritual attach-ment. The ground is very old,”he said.

“My understanding is rightoutside (the building) Morgan’sRaiders used to come throughtown, and I think therewas a lot

of colonial-style battles.”During those battles, there

was a time when an old manstood at the top of the churchand shot down at the raiderscoming through,Crawfordsaid.

After shots were fired, theraiders stormed into the build-ing and made the old man ride

with themintoWilliamsburg,hesaid.

Pollitt wasn’t sure if thatwasthe man he’s encountered, buthe is sure something supernat-ural is going on in the building.

“I believe the little boy saidat some point that the manwould not let him leave and heneeded help finding something.We don’t know what (he neededhelp finding),” Pollitt said.

While exploring the attic onenight after hearing a loud crashPollitt and his team becametrapped.

The door behind them con-tained no locking mechanism,but that didn’t stop it from lock-ing.

“This was three grownmen -250 pounds plus - and it wouldnot open,” Pollitt said.

The door eventually openedaftermore than aminute of try-ing and the three men fell ontheir butts, he said.

For Pollitt and his team, itwas just another night in Ow-ensville.

“I can’t really explain it atall,” he said.

OWENSVILLE — Nine timesout of 10, nothing happens.

That’s the reality for para-normal investigators, accord-ing to Greg Pollitt, the founderofParanormalNights, a10-per-son investigative teambased inAmelia.

“No one is going to believeuntil they experience some-thing. I could tell you ghost sto-ries all day long … (but) untilyou experience somethingyou’ll never believe,” Pollittsaid.

“There’s no convincing anyskeptic out there until theyhave that experience.”

Julie Bierman, an Owens-ville resident, and her daugh-ter spent a night in OwensvilleVillage Hall recently hoping tofind out if something supernat-ural could be going on in theirhome.

“We’vehadsomethingshap-pen at the house that we can’texplain. We tried to explain itfor a while ... but lately there’sjust been a couple things wecan’t figure out,” Biermansaid.

Bierman moved onto SouthBroadway across the streetfrom the village’s historical so-ciety in July. She felt at homeright away, but something haschanged.

“We had some excavatingdone behind the barn and itseems like right after that thebigger things started happen-ing,” she said.

One night her bedroom doorslammed shut at almost 4 a.m.— no windows were open andno fans going, Bierman said.

She often finds lights left onshe knows she turned off andhears noises upstairs, thinkingthey are coming from her dogsonly to find the dogs in thesame room as her.

As far as supernatural ac-counts go, that one is prettytame, but it’s been creepyenough to make Biermansearch out paranormal investi-gators.

“I never did (believe in thesupernatural), but I don’t knowwhat other explanation is outthere,” she said.

“I don’t know what to think— that’s why we’re here.”

In the village hall’s secondfloor, full of old church pews,Pollitt set up his equipment,turned off the lights and begantempting spirits.

“Is anybody here with us to-night? You can come up andtalk with us,” Pollit told the

darkness.Sitting around a long table,

no one in the group spoke. Si-lence enveloped them.

“Can you move past one ofthe windows?” Pollit asked.

Anticipation. Waiting forsomething to happen.

A loud noise caused Bier-man to jump—but it was just acellphone. That was the scari-est thing to happen all night.

“Most of it comes outthrough research and listeningto our recordings later,” Pollittsaid.

“That’s why I’d call thismore of a passion than a hob-by.”

Pollitt toldBiermanmost in-

vestigations amount to littlemore than several overweightmen sitting around breathingheavily.

Nonetheless, that can some-times be comforting.

“It’smore formeabouthelp-ing people,” Pollitt said.

“I’ve been able to, throughmy experiences, help a lot ofpeople findoutwhat is goingonin their home to help them feelbetter at ease — to help get ridof things that are troublingthem.”

To speak to a spirit he be-lieved to be inhabiting the hall,Pollitt wielded a device oftenused by electricians to mea-sure electromagnetic fields.He asked the spirit numerousquestions in varying ways, andthedevice lit upduring someofthe questions.

Pollitt concluded there wasan older female looking for her15-year-old child present thatnight. No further contact wasmade with whatever it was.

“There’s a lot about it that isdang near impossible to be-lieve,” said NoahMaisel, an in-vestigator with ParanormalNights.

Bierman didn’t leave the in-vestigation fully convinced,but who could blame her?

Nine times out of10, nothinghappens.

Amazingly, exoticitems like sambal oelekand fish sauce used to behard to find. Now justabout every grocerystore carries these. Sam-bal olelek is a spicy con-diment found in the inter-national aisle. Ditto withthe fish sauce. I usuallystir in more sambal oelekafter the stir-fry is done.Feel free to use yourfavorite vegetables inhere.

Sesame riceCook your favorite

rice and stir in sesame oiland soy sauce to taste.Not too much!

Dinner in a dash:Ravioli with sautéedbutternut squashand thyme

I love butternutsquash. It’s chock full ofphytonutrients and anti-oxidants and is deliciousin both sweet and savorydishes. Butternut squashis a bear to try to cutthrough and peel. What Ilike to do is poke it allover with a fork, micro-wave it on high for just afewminutes, use mitts topull it out (it will be hot)and let it cool. The skinwill have softenedenough for you to slice

through it without using amachete.1⁄2 medium butternut squash(about 1 pound), peeledand diced into 1⁄2-inchpieces

Salt and pepper to taste2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced1 tablespoon fresh thyme orup to 1 teaspoon driedthyme (start with 1⁄2teaspoon and go fromthere)

16 oz. fresh or frozen cheeseravioli

Parmesan cheese forgarnish

Film pan with oil andadd squash. Cook, cov-ered, stirring occasional-

ly, until almost tender.Add garlic and thyme andcook, uncovered, tossingoccasionally, until squashis tender and just begin-ning to brown. Mean-while, cook ravioli ac-cording to package direc-tions. Put ravioli on plat-ter, top with squashmixture and sprinklegenerously with Parme-san. Serves 4.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Chicken safety: Towash or not. Here’s mytake on it: Do not washchicken. You’ll be splash-ing more bacteria overthe surface of the sink,counter and yourself. Noneed to worry about bac-teria in chicken when it’scooked to a safe degree.The USDA says to cook awhole chicken to 165degrees; parts to 165degrees and ground to165 degrees. Your visualhere is to have the juicesrun clear when poked

with a fork. For groundchicken, it will be thor-oughly cooked with nopink spots.

Safely seasoningraw chicken

Before handling thechicken, mix the sea-sonings in a little bowl.Discard the leftoverseasoning.

RuthAnn cut agood bunchof spinachlast weekand I

pulled a nice bunch ofgreen onions to eat. I likeonions with just aboutany item to eat.

Ruth Ann said theother evening she wouldmake pancakes for break-fast the next morning.Well, there was a glasswith a few green onionson the table – they wentgood with pancakes.

Last week Ruth Annmake a batch of applebutter, by golly it wasgood. She could put in thepaper how shemade it.With hot biscuits this goesdown good.

This is how I (RuthAnn) make applesauce. I

don’t peel them, I quarterand core them. Put just alittle water to keep themfrom scorching and cookthem.

When they are done,run them through thefoodmill to get the skinsout. For the apple butter Icooked a big kettle ofsauce put it in the crockpot added sugar and cin-namon to taste.

I cooked it on highuntil it is boiling goodthen turn down on lowand let it cook all nightand day. Then I put it injars and seal it.

Ruth Ann received aletter asking for herblackberry jam cakerecipe so here it is.

Put in a mixing bowl, 2eggs, 2 cups brown sugar,1 cup butter or shortening(I sometimes use 1/2 and1/2), 1 cup buttermilk inwhich 2 teaspoons bakingsoda is dissolved, 2 cupsflour, 1 cup jam, 2 tea-spoons cinnamon, 1 tea-spoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoonallspice.

I makemy one jamwith 1 cup frozen black-berries with 1/3 cup sugarand cook until the berriesare cooked, then coolbefore putting in thebatter. The store jam issweeter so you wouldneed to not pack thebrown sugar.

Mix well and pour intogreased/floured pansthree 8-inch or two 9-inchor 1 9x13-inch cake pansand bake at 350 for 30 to35 minutes. Cool and icewith carmel icing.

Carmel icing: Melt 5tablespoons margarineand add 1 cup brownsugar packed firmlybring to a boil then add1/4 cup evaporatedmilkslowly bring to a boil andboil 3 minutes. Cool (Iplace in sink with coldwater around bottom ofpan). Then add 11/2 cupsconfectioners sugar and 1teaspoon vanilla beatuntil smooth and spreadon cake. This is enoughfor the 9x13 inch, for theothers you need 11/2times.

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