BATAVIA TWP. — CouldBatavia Township go tothe dogs? Resident C.J.Spurlock hopes a smallportion might.

Spurlock has proposedcreating an enclosure inthe Batavia TownshipCommunity Park thatwould be specifically fordogs.

“It would be good tohave (a location where)people come in and social-ize their dogs,” said Spur-lock,who is the owner of apit bull named Jack Dan-iels.

It providing an oppor-tunity for people to havetheir dogs interact withother dogs and their own-

ers, he said.The park does allow

dogs on leashes, but whatSpurlock has suggested isan actual fenced in areathat would provide a safelocation for the dogs torun and play with one an-other.

He said the enclosurecouldalso serveasa train-ing area for the dogs atsome point.

Spurlock, who spokeduring the November Ba-tavia Township Trusteesmeeting, suggested fenc-ing in an area about 100feet by100 feet thatwouldbe bordered by a six-footfence.

Spurlock estimated itwould cost from $2,000 to$3,500 to build. He said hewould install the fence

himself.Additionally, he said he

would cover the costs forbuilding the enclosurewhich would be near thewooded area of the park.

Township Administra-tor Rex Parsons askedhowmany dogs the enclo-surewouldaccommodate.

Spurlock said hethought from 7 to 8 dogscould fit in the enclosureat a time.

“We’re looking atthings to add to the park,”Trustee James Sauls Jr.said. “That may be a goodconsideration.”

The trustees did notmake any decision on thedog enclosure during themeeting.

Union Township Adminis-trator Ken Geis pushed backhis chair on the dais during arecent trustees meeting,walked down to the podiumused by the public to addressofficials and positioned it tofacePoliceChiefTerrenceZin-ser.

It was Zinser’s last UnionTownship Board of Trustees’meeting, and Geis wanted togive the retiring lawman therespect he believed Zinser wasdue.

“In 1994, the board of trust-ees appointed me to act as thetownship administrator,” Geisbegan, reading from preparedremarks.

“As some folks here can at-test to, I inherited a police de-partment thatwasclearlywith-out direction and definableleadership.”

Geis went on to describesuccessfully lobbying thetrustees to hire Tom Knox asUnion Township police chief,who in turn went on to champi-onZinser,who joined theUnionTownship Police Departmentas an entry-level officer in1986.

Zinser was promoted to ser-

geant in 1996 and to lieutenantin 1999 and in 2006 became thetownship’s fifth police chief.

“One of the most importantthings that Chief Knox did wasto hire train and promote qual-ity officers within the organi-zation,” Geis said.

“As the chief, Terry guidedtheorganization throughmulti-ple reaccreditations and count-

less assignments internallyand externally.

“Terryalsohadsuccessfullyled the organization through avery difficult financial periodthat commanded the reductionof personnel through attritionwithoutadecrease inservice tothe community,” Geis said.

“Undoubtedly Terry Zinserhas served the communitywell

and is consequently retiring asa distinguished officer and su-pervisor.

“So Chief, on behalf of thepeople inUnion Township, I sa-lute you and thank you,” Geissaid.

Zinser rose from his chairamid applause and said,

BATAVIA — BataviaMiddle School’s GardenClub is partnering withTownescapes,a local land-scape design firm, tobeautify the schoolgrounds.

The partnership start-ed when a student askedwhy the garden clubcouldn’t have a sponsor asathletic groups do to helppay for things like T-shirts. Jackie Chambers,the sixth-grade scienceteacher who serves as thegarden club’s sponsor,thought thatwas an excel-lent idea so she contactedthree local businessesthat deal with plants and/

or dirt.Chris Bortz of Townes-

capes in Batavia immedi-ately responded. He waseager to pay for shirts fora gardenclub and lend thestudents equipment andtools. As one of their firstactivities, four Townes-capes employees cameout in frigid temperaturesto remove eight over-grown bushes in front ofthe school and offer sug-gestions on what studentscould plant there.

“The kids are thrilled,”Chambers said. “They arereal excited because theytake a lot of pride in whatthey’re doing.”

Three years ago,Chambers had her giftedstudents try their hand at

gardening as an enrich-ment activity. At the endof the 2013-14 school year,she decided it was time tocreate a group to expandon what the gifted stu-dents had started.

Theclubhassevensev-enth-grade pupils.

For now, garden clubmembers are collectingpennies inBataviaMiddleSchool classrooms to pur-chase plants. In the fu-ture,Chambershopesstu-dents can work with Tow-nescapes employees tolearn which plants wouldbe suitable to plant in theschool courtyard’s vari-ous flower beds.

“Thankyou,”with a smartsalute of his right hand.

Zinser’s 37-year policecareer was officially overat the end of November.Union Township officials

are saying little about thesearch for his successor,other than it is underway.

Lt. Scott Gaviglia isserving as interim chiefof the 60-member UnionTownship Police Depart-ment.

“Chief Zinser has tak-en our police departmentto anew level andourgoal

will be to raise thebar andmove to next level,” saidJohn McGraw, chairmanof the Union TownshipBoard of Trustees.

“The next chief willhave to work very hard toexceed the work of ChiefZinser.

“Our police depart-ment’s motto is ‘Pride,Progress and Profession-alism’,” McGraw said.

“This isnot justamottoto Chief Zinser.

“He embodies thesethings andapplies themtohis daily work,” McGrawsaid.

Zinser earned a bache-lor’s degree in criminaljustice from ThomasMore College and workedfor the Colerain PoliceDepartment from 1978until he joined the UnionTownship Police Depart-ment.

There he oversaw thecreation of computer fo-rensic, K-9, hotel-moteland polygraph units.

Zinser said most of the

past decades havebeen sobusy that they sometimesseem like a blur.

“But I do rememberthe positive things,” Zin-ser said.

“I remember the ba-bies we pulled from theswimming pool. Thoselives that we saved.

“And I rememberthrough all those middleyears thatwereablur thatImet a lot of great people,people I really enjoyedworking with,” Zinsersaid.

Former ClermontCounty Prosecutor DonWhite was among the au-dience members whopraised Zinser at theUnion Township Board ofTrustees meeting.

“I’ve been a lawyer inthis community for 41years,” White said.

“I’ve been associatedwith police officers all ofthat41years - twoyearsasassistant prosecutor, 24years as the elected pros-ecutor.

“ThefinestpolicechiefI’ve been associated withis the guy right there,”White said, pointing atZinser.

“He’s the most orga-nized. The most dedicat-ed.

“The most integrity.The most loyal,” Whitesaid.

Winter CrisisProgram

The Clermont Commu-nity Services, in partner-ship with Office of Com-munity Assistance, willonce again be taking ap-plications for the WinterCrisis Program, whichruns throughMarch 31.

BRIEFLY

Snowand iceand frigidtemperatures often leadto frozen pipes.

“When temperatureshover in the teens or dropto single digits for an ex-tended period of time itputs a strain on yourplumbing system, whichcan weaken pipes andcause breaks,” said DaveBennett, Greater Cincin-nati Water Works fieldservices manager.

To help protect resi-dents and business own-ers from the expense andheadache of dealing withfrozenpipes,GCWWhasafew tips to help keep thebursts at bay:

» Seal cracks: caulkaround door frames andwindows to reduce incom-ing cold air. Winter windswhistling through over-looked openings canquickly freeze exposedwater pipes.

» Opencupboarddoorsin the kitchen and bath-rooms: Water lines sup-plying these rooms arefrequently on outsidewalls. Leaving the doorsopen when the temper-ature is below freezing al-lows them to get moreheat.

» Let faucets drip inbelow-freezing weather:

This will help keep aneven flow of water mov-ing through your internalplumbing systemandpre-vent freezing.

» Protect outdoorpipesandfaucets: Insomehomes, the outside faucethas its own shut-off in thebasement in addition tothe shut-off valve for theentirehouse. If youhaveaseparate valve for outsidefaucets, close the valve,remove hoses and drainthe faucet. If you don’thave a separate valve,wrap the outside faucets(hose bibs) in newspapersor rags coveredwith plas-tic.

» Insulate indoor pipesor faucets in unheatedareas: pipes in internalunheated areas such asthe garage or crawl spaceunder the house should bewrapped with insulatedfoam. Wrap the entirelength of the exposedpipeand cover all valves andpipe fittings.

New Richmond addsChromebooks for onlinetesting

» It was a busy summer andearly school year for the NewRichmond Exempted VillageSchool District’s technology de-partment which has brought600 Chromebook laptops onlinejust in time to meet the de-mands of Ohio Department ofEducation’s mandated onlineassessments beginningwith the2014-2015 school year.

During the week of Sept. 22,NREVSD students began thefirst roundofwhatwill be anes-timated 16,000 online assess-ments during the 2014-2015school year beginning with thePro Core assessments for stu-dents in grades four throughnine and the Chromebooks run-ning Google’s browser basedoperating system in proving tobe the tool to meet the demand.

TheNewRichmondBoard ofEducation was able to add four30-unit Chromebook carts perbuilding for the cost of upgrad-ing one computer lab on the dis-trict’s scheduled five - sevenyear upgrade cycle.

The Chromebooks will beusedforapproximately4000on-line Pro Core assessments inSeptember and again in Janu-ary to help teachers preparetheir students for thestateman-datedonlineproficiency tests inthe Spring and at the end ofschool year.

Chromebooks, which have alife expectancy of three - fiveyears, have been approved bythe state for conducting the on-line PARCC assessments (Part-nership for Assessment ofReadiness of College and Ca-reers) which kicked in thisschool year.

» There is no “He said, she

said” when it comes to investi-gating school bus behavior inci-dents in the NewRichmond Ex-empted Village School District.

“Last year, we heard fromparents regarding their con-cern about bus bullying,” NewRichmond SuperintendentAdam Bird said. “In response,cameras have been installed oneverybusso thatstudentbehav-ior can be better monitored."

EveryNewRichmondschoolbus has aminimum of two cam-eras recording video and audio.One is installed above the driv-er’s seat window and focus onthe driver and the bus door. Asecond camera is above thewindshield and focused downthe aisle.

“We have installed a thirdcamera on selected bus servingroutes where there have beenissues,” Bird said.

Videoandaudio is storedonaSD card which can be reviewedon a computer and burned ontoa DVD for use in disciplinaryhearingsbydistrict administra-tors. The pair of bus camerascost $1000 andwere installedbydistrict mechanics.

Students have taken noticeof the cameras and adjustedtheir behavior accordingly.

“I have noticed a decrease inthe number of bus referralscompared to the past fewyears,” NREVSD transporta-tion director Wayne Prescottsaid.

Some bus drivers had priva-cy concerns at first since theywould be on camera (which op-erate anytime the bus engine isrunning) even when theyweren’t on the road. The trade-offofhavinganextrasetofeyeson their students quickly over-came any privacy concerns.

“I have spoken with severaldrivers regarding the new cam-eras, and have had positivefeedback,” saidPrescott. “Driv-

ers like having an extra set ofeyes on their students and theylike being able to have the videochecked when students tell

them that something happen onthe bus that they didn’t see orhear."

OK so Thanksgiving isover and now the realhectic rush begins. Wefinished stringing lights

on theoutdoorpines andare puttingup thewreaths onthe win-dows latertoday.There willbe a lot ofactivity inmy kitch-

en, as well. My somewhatlofty goal this year is tohave all the food giftsfinished a week ahead ofChristmas. Stay tuned…

Baked acorn squashwith nutmeg,cinnamon andbrown sugar

I saw this on TV andliked the fact that itwasn’t overly loaded withsugar, butter, cream, etc.You can make as many asyou like. I showed theseon Fox 19 when I did theweekend show with DanWells and Jessica Brown.They wanted side dishesfor the holidays for asmall family. This fillsthe bill and would be anice accompaniment forthat holiday ham or pork.

Here’s my adaptation:2 acorn squashes, cut

in half and seededOlive oil3 tablespoons unsalted

butter1/4 cup dark or light

brown sugar1/2 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon each,

freshly grated nutmegand cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400°F.Rub the inside of the

squashes with olive oil.Place on sprayed pancut-side down. Bake for30-40 minutes or untilsoft.

While the squashbake, prepare the brownsugar mixture. In a smallpot, combine the butter,brown sugar, salt andspices over low heat.Heat until butter meltsand sugar dissolves.When the squash halvesare ready, flip them overand drizzle the brownsugar mixture on theinside cavity. Place thepan in the oven for anadditional 5-10 minutesor until brown and bub-bling.

Slow cookerbreakfast egg andsausage casserole

A perennial favorite. Ilike to thaw the hashbrowns a bit, but some ofmy readers like to pourthe frozen hash brownsstraight from the bag.Now remember yourslow cooker may take alittle less, or a little more,time. Last time I madethis I used 1-1/2 poundssausage, and it was good.

2 pounds frozen shred-ded hash browns - eithershredded or diced

1 to 1-1/2 pounds sau-sage, cooked and crum-bled

1 bunch green onions,finely sliced, both whiteand green parts

1 pound shreddedcheese

12 eggs1/3 cup milk1/2 teaspoon garlic

powder1/2 teaspoon dry mus-

tardSalt and pepper

Spray 6-quart slowcooker/crockpot. Layer1/3 potatoes on bottom,sprinkle with salt andpepper and top with 1/3sausage, sprinkle withsalt and pepper, add 1/3onions and cheese, sprin-kle with salt and pepper.Repeat layers 2 moretimes, ending withcheese. Whisk eggs, milk,garlic powder and mus-tard. Cook on low 6-8hours or high 4-5.

Tip fromreader’s kitchen:

“Try a combo of hamand bacon instead ofsausage”, one readersuggested.

Kids in the kitchen:milk chocolatepeanut butter bark

My granddaughter,Emerson, loves milkchocolate and peanut

butter. She’ll be makingthis with me as a giftfrom the kitchen. I putthe peanuts in a heavyzip lock and let her poundthemwith a miniatureLebanese “indua” - anolive wood pestle.

1 bag each, about 12oz., milk chocolate andpeanut butter chips

1 very generous cup orso chopped salted pea-nuts

Line cookie sheet with

foil. Melt chips and stirin peanuts. Pour ontocookie sheet about 1/4”thick. Break into piecesafter it is set.

A publication of

I know that drug addictionis scary to talk about in Cler-mont County, because peoplecannot understand how others

become addict-ed to drugs.

I once be-lieved that weshould justlock everydrug addict upwho commit-ted a crimebecause theychose to actand live thatway: after all,they could stop

if they wanted to, right? ShouldI feel sorry for them, theydon’t care about themselves sowhy should I?

Addiction is a complex dis-

ease that makes changes in thebrain, which can lead good,healthy people to do things outof character that they wouldnot do, unless under the influ-ence of drugs. This is why weneed to focus on treating theseindividuals, instead of justlocking them away in jail.When they do not receivetreatment upon release, therecidivism rate becomes high-er.

The county is strugglingwith residents having a hugeopiate abuse problem. In 2011heroin use spiked after the“pill mill bill” passed shuttingdown heavy opiate prescrib-ers. This causing addicts to beforced into a cheaper alterna-tive: heroin. Crime rate in-creased because users became

desperate.In 2013, 46 percent of chil-

dren were removed fromhomes in our county; 147 ar-rests were made all related toheroin/opiate use. It costs $72 aday to house an inmate, as itwould only cost $48 a day forthem to be in treatment. This isnot only to better the addict’slife, but also the quality of ourcommunity as a whole.

The jail is over populated,with 70 percent of the pop-ulation in for drug relatedcharges, with repeat offenderswho are going to continue tokeep cycling through our jailswithout treatment. Treatmentwill help addict’s change be-haviors, to live a productivelife, benefiting our communityin so many aspects. These

individuals are not dirty crimi-nals they are sick mentally andneed treatment.

This issue is not just cost ofthe jail; taxes are being raised,crime is at an all time high. Weneed to take the time and ad-dress this issue, we could saveour county a lot of time andmoney. If we offer treatment itwould free time for law en-forcement to address otherneeded issues.

I am asking you to take yourtime and get some educationabout addiction an recovery. Ifyou really just look into thisissue you will realize that weneed a solution to this problem.It might open your mind to seehow our county needs moretreatment centers and howthey will be beneficial to ev-

eryone.I am saying this to you be-

cause I am living proof thattreatment does work. If I hadnot been offered treatment Iwould have been yet anotherstatistic on this paper.

My husband was not giventhe opportunity to have thisoption, and as the result hebecame one of the manydeaths in our county. Addictscan recover and rebuild theirlives if given the chance.

My family’s ‘Black Friday’flashbacks

As holiday shoppers go into a shop-pingfrenzyon“BlackFriday,” I sufferterrible flashbacks whenever I hearthat word.

Black Friday 2006 wasthe day thatour precious granddaughterwas diag-nosed with a deadly disease calledALL, i.e. acutelymphoma leukemia!

Just 2-years-old, our Rebecca’ssymptoms included a constant ear in-fection, a “boo-boo” on her knee thatwouldn’t heal, bruises all over her lit-tle body, loss of balance as she’d fall,no appetite, and pain when we tried tohug her.

Black Friday 2006wasn’t spent in ashopping spree at the mall.

Instead that night, Rebeccawas ad-mitted to the oncology department atCincinnati Children’s Hospital. With

only a faint glimmer of hope, she wasnow classified as a “slow responder.”Faith and prayers to the LordGod, theGreat Physician, for Rebecca’s recov-ery, for her doctors, her nurses andstaff. Finally our “munchkin” camehome to begin the long road of chemotreatments with loss of her goldencurls, loss ofweight and other terribleside effects.

Today our Rebecca is a happy,healthy l0-year-old. Our miracle is en-ergetic, loves to play sports and dogymnastics. She’s our constant re-minder of God’s healing hand. TheDoctors at Children’s consider her“cured’ of ALL. Prayers answered.

At our house, “Black Friday” hasbecome “Good Friday” - we practicethanks - living every day for our mir-acle.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Nov. 26 questionIf the Republican-controlled Senate

which takes office in January passes a billgreen-lighting the Keystone XL pipeline,should thepresident sign thebill or veto it?Why?

“Sign it! It’s time he tried somethingnew likegoingalongwithwhat theAmer-ican people want, not just what EmperorObama dreams up in his own little head.”

M.J.F.

“He should have encouraged it a longtime ago from the Democratic Senate.Theoilwill flow toU.S. refineries for saleabroad and in the U.S., it will help estab-lish the U.S. as the major petroleum pro-ducer in the world, it will provide thou-sands of jobs, and it will bring down theprice of processed petroleum products.”

D.B.

“I believe he would veto it. Much likethe immigration issue the president nolonger has elections to restrain him andwill do as he wants. The president has of-ten stated the only way to curve Ameri-ca’suseofoil is todrivethecostupsohighthat they are forced to.”

Terry Smith

“I think he’ll veto. I read that WarrenBuffet is the chairman of the companythat owns theBSFNrailroad,which ownsall the tracks between the US and West-ern Canada. They haul about 80 percentof the oil to the US and make about 2 bil-lion a year doing so. The keystone couldpotentially cost them that income (andthus the very generous contributions andfundraisers for the Democratic Party).This issue has little to do with environ-mental concerns. Like everything inWashington, it’s all about the money.”

Bobbi Layne Kayser

“Yes! He should sign it!! The reasonsare many....jobs, oil independence fromtheMiddleEast,moniescomingtoourUSeconomy from oil exporting...to name afew!”

Linda Ann Salsbury

“No veto! Blocking the Keystone XLPipeline will not keep the oil in theground, nor will it decrease America’sconsumption of fossil fuels. What it willdo is guarantee continuing unemploy-ment for tens of thousands of Americanconstruction, manufacturing, transpor-tation and refinery workers. It will alsokeepAmerica vulnerable to oil supply in-terruptionandhighprices fromunstable,foreign oil-producing nations.”

Pamela Robinson Porter

“He needs to sign it ... that doesn’tmean he will. We need more independ-ence from foreign oil and the extra jobsare also very much needed.”

Joy Kent Tarleton

“He should sign it... But he won’t...”James Bartley

“Theenvironmental concernsarepho-ny anyway. They feign concern while us-ing oil from all over the world and theycare nothing about any endangered crea-tures or environmental impacts on thosecountries. I say use every available ener-gy source we can and lower the overallcost to consumersputtingmoremoney inour pockets to spend on a larger varietyof products than oil and gas. An addedbenefit to those that hate on the rich is itputs less income in their pockets andmore in ours. Additionally, Obama willnot OK the Keystone, his goal as presi-dent was never to create jobs and im-prove the economy, that is boring stuff toan activist president.”

Paul W. Queen

“Everyone who supports the XL pipe-line needs to volunteer to have it runthrough their own backyards. Obamacould have stopped thiswith a stroke of apen years ago. He’s signing any bill. Thisfix is in well and truly in.”

Tom Streeter

“The United States does already pro-duce 60 percent of its own oil. On top ofthat, of the 40 percent we do import, 53percent comes from the western hemi-sphere, 28 of that 53 percent being fromCanada. Our reliance on Middle Easternoil is 28 percent of the 40 percent we im-port. Hardly dependent on oil from theMiddle East.”

Nathan Buring

“Agree that I would take the moneythey would giveme for running the pipe-line throughmy yard. It wouldmatch theother things that run throughmyyard in-cluding electrical lines, cable lines, andsuch.”

Bonnie Kirby Cronin

“Veto because of all the damage it willcause to environment. We just sign anagreementwithChina thatwewould findgreener ways to save the environmentand air!”

Karen Thornberry

Nov. 19 questionWhat is your favorite local holiday

event/tradition/decoration(s)?

“Going to cut a live tree at one of thelocal tree farms.”

THIS WEEK’S QUESTIONThe Ohio Senate has passed a bill whichwould mandate that a police officer bepresent at any intersection or place wherered light cameras and traffic control cam-eras are used. Is this good legislation? Whyor why not?

Every week we ask readers a question they can replyto via email. Send your answers [email protected] with Ch@troom inthe subject line.

We all enjoy watching a goodmovie, and I’m sure we don’t all likethe same kind.

The ladies perhaps enjoy watchinga romance or a mys-tery, while guys tendto like action movies.However, on a rareoccasion, we find amovie with all thoseingredients. Yearsago there was justsuch a movie called“The Sting” starringRobert Redford andPaul Newman. Thebadguysseta trapforthe good guys but end

up falling into it themselves. In theend, the tablesare turnedand thegoodguys come out ahead.

Well, the book of Esther containsone of themost exciting stings in all ofliterature, with a plot that containsmoretwistsandturnsthanaKentuckyback-road.Now, I realizeyouknowthestoryquitewell, but let’s look at itwitha fresh set of eyes. King Xerxes wasthe ruler of theworld at that time, andhe decides to have a party to end allparties. Vashti, the queen, is sum-moned to come in and parade herselfaround before the king and all hisdrunken buddies.

Vashti, although not Jewish, was awoman of character and convic-tion…she refused. The king is out-raged, and ordered her banished fromthe kingdom, because he wanted ev-eryone to know who wore the toga inhis family. Sadly, we don’t hear fromqueen Vashti again…ladies, notice,she still did the right thing. She didn’tcompromise herself or her integrity

even though she paid a high price andsuffered the consequences.

It’s here we begin to see the invisi-ble finger of God at work behind thescenes to bring about deliverance forhis people, as Esther is chosen to be-come the queen of the entire Persianempire. Mordecai is placed by God atjust the rightplace tohearabout anas-sassination plot of the king. The con-spiratorsareput todeath. In themean-timeHamanputs togetheraplot foranancient holocaust.

Mordecai pleads with Esther totakeastandanduseherpositiononbe-half of the Jews, butEsther’s initial re-sponse is one of fear, because youcouldn’t justwalk inunannounced intothe king’s presence.Mordecai respon-ds, “Don’t kid yourself, don’t thinkyou’ll escape the holocaust once yournationality becomes known. And ifyou don’t do something, God will sendsomeone else to replace you. Thiscould be your purpose in life!” Es-ther’s faith and courage kicks in, andshe tells Mordecai she will risk herlife, and go into the king.

Later, Haman’s plot to destroy allthe Jews is thwarted, and hewas hungon the gallows he had constructed forMordecai, and the Jews are allowed todefend themselves.Thestingwasnowcomplete, because of Esther’s cour-age, her people were now saved!

Takingamoral stand isnoteasy. It’soften controversial and unpopular.But remember, you were created onpurpose, for a purpose.

Lastyear’sAmelia squadputtogether the most impressivetwo-year stretch in longtimeheadcoachCraigMazzaro’s ten-ure, winning 37 games over thepast two seasons. This year’sseniorsplanonmaking that rec-ord short-lived. Coming off of a19-win season and led by a pairof three-year starters, the Bar-onswillbefavoredto three-peatas SBAAC champions.

Seniors Garrett Weaver andKeeganCarson have earned all-conference honors each of thepast two seasons. Weaver aver-aged13 points and six reboundsper game last season; Carsonaveraged 12 points per gameand connected on half of histhree-point field goal attempts.

Senior point guard MasonBlankenship also returns alongwith senior starter Brett Gree-nough. The Barons must re-place two-time conferenceplayer of the year TommyHacker in the post. A pair ofsophomores, 6’7” Ryan Turnerand 6’6” Cage Meyer will betasked with taking over downlow. If the younger players canfill the void left by Hacker, theexperienced seniors should beable to lead Amelia to a 20-winseason.

After sharing the SBAACAmerican Division crown withAmelia last season, New Rich-mond is eager to win an out-right title. The Lions return all-conference players in juniorguards J.D. Durham and Fran-kie Taulbee and senior forwardC.J. Grogan. While they mustreplace two first team all-con-ference players, the Lions areconfident that they can reloadand continue building on themomentum created last season.

“We return many playersfrom last year that were an in-tegral part of our successfulseason,” said head coach BrianMcMonigle.

At 6’7”, senior forward JohnBuckingham will take on a big-ger role this season, as will sen-ior guard Isiah Young.

New Richmond opens theseason Dec. 5 at Batavia. Lastyear, theLionswonnine of theirfirst10 contests en route to a17-win season. Another fast startwill position the program for asecond-straight conference ti-tle. Starting the season withfive-straight conference oppo-nents gives this experiencedgroup an opportunity to makean early statement that last sea-son’s league title was just thebeginning for this revitalizedprogram.

This year, the Batavia Bull-dogs are making the switchfrom the National to the Amer-ican Division of the SouthernBuckeye Athletic and Academ-ic Conference and will have toplay teams like Amelia, Goshenand New Richmond twice.

“Wemighthavehadachanceto make a run against the littlerschools in our conference thisyear,” Batavia head coachMikeHatfield said. “But, even withthe switch, we want to be com-petitive against the biggerschools.”

The Bulldogs have three re-turning starters in shootingguard Jake McElfresh, postplayer Shawn Adams andKeyshawn Foley. Those threepieces are going to be key forBatavia this season.

“We hope McElfresh canscored15 points a game and Fo-ley will be right there with himin terms of scoring,” Hatfieldsaid.

Colin Sammons and KennyArtis could also see significantminutes.

The switch, although a dif-ferent experience, could provebeneficial for the Bulldogs.

“We aren’t thinking that wehave no chance to win theleague this year,” Hatfield said.“I am hoping that the teams atthe top beat each other up and itcreates a last-man-standingscenario.”

Staying with the SBAAC,Williamsburg and head coachDan McKibben are looking formore of a team that finished 12-10 and 7-3 in the National Divi-sion. The Wildcats return three

starters in seniors AustinHorn,Josh Wells and Evan Barge.

“We should be deeper thanprevious years and should beable to play eight or nine play-ers,” McKibben said. “We alsoshould have a good shooting

team and have decent height.”One of the reasons the Wild-

cats can play with that kind ofdepth is the fact McKibben willpossibilityplay threefreshmen.

“I’ve only had two freshmentotal inmy eight years here and

this year there could be three atthe same time,” he said.

Glen Este is seeking its firstwinning season since 2010-2011,and will have to get back on theright side of .500 with somefresh faces. All four Trojanswho earned all-conferencementions last year graduated.The Trojans will rely on an in-flux of new varsity talent. Theyare young, but optimistic.

Glen Este graduated sevenseniors from last year’s team.Senior guard Zach Jones is thetop returning scorer after aver-aging 2.6 points per game lastyear. Senior guards Aatur Shahand Jackson Madden will stepinto bigger roles after seeinglimited varsity action last sea-son. JuniorCollin Fryman takes

After winning twostraight Ohio Christian

School Athletic Associa-tion state championship,Miami Valley ChristianAcademy enters a differ-ent and exciting 2014-15season. The Lions beginOHSAA play in DivisionIV and will compete for astate title against publicand private schools forthe first time. There is anew coach at the helm,and a different philoso-phy on offense and de-fense.

Marty Carter takes

over for Pat Pugh and in-herits three returningstarters from last year’s16-5 squad. Junior guardsJake Kaiser and JamieCarson will carry theteam while senior guardMalique Ward, last year’sleading scorer, worksback from an injury suf-fered during the footballseason.

The players are excit-ed about the move to OH-SAA competition and theopportunities that it pre-

sents. If Ward, who is ap-proaching the 1,000-pointbenchmark, can returnquickly, the Lions shouldbe able to post anotherwinning season.

With a guard-heavylineup, Carter is imple-menting an offense anddefense that focus on hisroster’s strengths. With-out much of a post pres-ence, the Lions will try tobe a more up-tempo teamon both ends of the court.

“We lost our post play-

er so we will need to relyonouroverall athleticism.We will be playing a lot ofguards,” saidCarter. “Oursuccess will depend a lotthe health of Malique andon the players learninghow to play man-to-mandefense and how to runmotion offense.”

MVCA opens the sea-son with three straightroad contests, beginningonDec. 5 atDaytonChris-tian.

After finishing secondin the GCL Coed and afourth-consecutive win-ning season, the McNi-cholas Rockets are look-ing, like many teams, tocombine a solid group ofseniors with a youngergroup of players.

“I thinkwehave a goodgroup of seniors who willbe called to be great lead-

ers for this team,” headcoach Tim Monahan said.“We have four seniorswith varsity experienceso them helping ouryounger varsity playersto feel comfortable andconfident throughout theseasonwill bevery impor-tant for us.”

The seniors: GregKent, Andrew Schuer-man, Kyle Morrisroe andJacob Bradley will shoul-der most of the Rockets’burden this season.

60th Anniversary

Denis and Patricia (Hauserman) Deimling were marriedNovember 20, 1954.

Denis is a retired real estate agent and Pat is a retiredbank teller.

They raised 7 children and, with all the steps andspouses, have 20 grand and six+ great grandchildren.

Twenty-eight loved ones gathered for a celebratorydinner at Houston Inn on Sunday, November 16 and anintimate dinner was served in the privacy of their home onthe anniversary date.

Congratulations Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa"Very proud of all of us"

Howdy folks,We hope and pray you

had a good Thanksgiving.Plenty of food and allyour family together andhealthy.

As I write this I amthinking about a dearfriend of ours. He is gonenow, he died at 101. Hetold me a story about aThanksgiving years ago.They were all togetheron turkey day. The thingthe men and boys alwaysdid was to go rabbit hunt-ing. He said that morningthey hunted in their shirtselves. Then when theygathered for dinner atnoon the weather startedto change.

It got colder and therewas a cloud in the west.As they ate it started tosnow, it kept gettingheavier all the time. They

startedhome hisfolks livedbelowGeorge-town andthey livedclose toBlanches-ter. Hesaid thesnow kept

getting deeper and final-ly they got stuck! He saidhe walked home, got ateam of horses. Put theharness on them andwent back to pull the carwith the family in ithome. That was in 1930and I wrote about thislast year and got a callfrom a lady who wasborn during that snow.

I remember a snow in1950 that blocked every-thing. We were farming

and had 12 cows to milk.We were shipping toUnited Dairy Farmers incans. It was three daysbefore the milk truck gotthere.

In 1977-1978 youyounger folks will re-member that winter. Welived here at East Forkand had a front end load-er at the park. So I couldkeep our road open.

About Ruth Ann, wespent about three hoursat the cancer doctor’soffice to find out whatwas causing her to havetrouble breathing. Ayoung lady nurse-practi-tioner ordered an X-rayand when they read thatthey said it looked likeshe had fluid on the lung.The next day we went tothe hospital, They tookabout a pint of fluid off

her lung. When she cameout she was smiling andcould breath much deep-er.

Now she is doing bet-ter her and Chester eachafternoon like to visit therecliner for a nap. Itseems Chester can un-derstand what we aredoing. The other daywhen I put my work coaton, he wanted out. When Icame back in he came in.He would watch me if Iwent to the kitchen. Hewatched and listened ifhe heard the door openhe made a dash for it.When the wind was blow-ing so hardMonday helaid in the living roomlistening to the wind.When it settled down hewanted out, when I didn’tlet him out Ruth Ann saidhe was pouting.

TheMonroe Grangehad their Thanksgivingsupper on Nov. 21. RuthAnn and Bonnie passedout the items the juniorgrangers made and therewere plenty. There are 13junior grangers. We took20 items to the GrangeConvention in Columbus,and they got 17 prizes,that is great.

The other morning theGood Lord gave me athought about recycling abig juice jar. You folkshave seen them at Krog-er they have orange juicein them. I put four holesin the bottom, put a boardon the bottom, drilled ahole in each side at thetop to put a rope in filledwith bird seed and hangup. Birds sure enjoy.

There is a ChristmasBazaar luncheon and

bake sale from10 a.m. - 2p.m. Dec. 5 - 6 at theUnited Methodist Churchin Batavia. If you wouldlike a good meal try toattend. I asked Ruth Annif we were going, shesaid of course, I wantthat chicken sandwich.By golly they are good.That church like lots ofothers have some extragood cooks.

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

cates that about two-thirds of American fam-ilies put off these conver-sations, either becausethey are uncomfortablewith the topics or theyjust don’t know where tostart.

Statistics show that 34

percent of adults sur-veyed are conversationavoiders. That is, theyhaven’t talked about anyimportant end-of-life is-sues with their parents orchildren, or they havetalked about just one is-sue.

Tohelp, the localHomeInsteadSeniorCareofficeis sponsoring the “40-70Rule” program, which in-cludes an Action Plan forSuccessful Aging and oth-er resources to help easethese conversations be-tween adult children and

their parents.The idea behind the

“40-70 Rule” is that by thetime adult children areage 40 and their parentsare age 70, they shouldhave these critical con-versations that will im-pact the parents’ future.
