Pay cut in half By Mary Dannemiller
mdannemiller@communitypress.com
In November, Bethel Village Council members will be making half of what they are now when attending meetings. An ordinance was read at the council’s Monday, June 8, meeting which would knock Swarthout each member’s pay per meeting to $50, down from $100. “Finance committee proposed the changes to further reduce general fund expenses,” said Village Administrator Travis Dotson. Because elected officials cannot legally change their rate of pay during a term, the changes will not go into effect until after the November election, Dotson said. Council members Alan Ausman, Joe Houlihan, Donna Gunn and James Dick are up for reAn ordinance election in was read at November. “The four the council’s elected this fall Monday, would be paid June 8, under the new Dotson meeting rate,” said. “The which would other two knock each council members would member’s continue to be pay per paid under the pay rate meeting to old until their next $50, down election two from $100. years later.” The pay cut comes after the village was forced to lay off one full-time police officer to lessen the more than $300,000 negative balance in the general fund. “As we have stated, we consider cuts to the police department as a last resort so if council can make cuts elsewhere, they will look at every option,” Dotson said. Mayor John Swarthout said the move showed that council members were willing to make sacrifices for the good of the village. “It’s tough times and we’re having to cut employees and they wanted to make a similar gesture for themselves,” he said. “I think it’s a good move to show our employees that we’re with them.” The ordinance’s final reading and vote will be held at the next Bethel Village Council meeting, 6:30 p.m. Monday, June 22, at the village municipal building, 120 W.

Bethel-Tate extra-curriculars are back, but at a higher cost By Kellie Geist kgeist@communitypress.com
Middle school and high school students in the Bethel-Tate Local School District are getting their extra-curriculars back, but it’s going to cost more. The school board voted to increase participation fees to fund extra-curriculars at a special work session June 10. The money generated means the district will be bringing back all sports, drama club, dance team and academic team. It also means the buildings will be open later, so youth sports can continue as well. Board members David Brannock and Mark Rose drafted the pay-to-participate plan after a group of middle school parents asked the board allow that option. The fees only will pay for staffing. They will not pay for uniforms or other improvements. As part of this plan, there also will be one less coach for boys basketball, girls basketball, football and track. There will be no hardship fee reductions or family discounts. However, some parents are working to generate a pool of funds that could be used in extreme hardship cases. “We crunched these numbers, looked at them sideways, and this is the only way we could afford to bring back K-8 extra-curriculars,” Brannock said. “It’s not a perfect world, it costs a lot to have your children in stuff, but it’s better than not having extra-curriculars.” As part of the plan, all money generated from fees will go toward funding extra-curriculars. Also, no district funds will be used. Fees
Pay to participate fees
Board member David Brannock said the total cost to have extra-curriculars, including the cost to keep the buildings open, hire a custodian and pay coaches is about $73,000. Three of the district’s booster clubs agreed to donate a total of $20,000. With those donations, the new participation fees for sports will be: $165 per student, per activity in the middle school and $185 for the high school. After a student pays for two sports in one year, the fees drop to $100 for additional sports. For drama club and the dance team, the fees with be $100. These fees are lower because the drama club and dance team do not require district transportation.
The school board voted to increase participation fees to fund extra-curriculars at a special work session June 10. The money generated means the district will be bringing back all sports, drama club, dance team and academic team. must be collected by the first scrimmage, game or performance and will be non-refundable. “We have to have a firm commitment to collect these fees to make this work ... If they are not collected, that student does not participate, regardless of who he or she is and their ability or involvement in the activity,” Rose said. All school buildings will be open in the evening, meaning groups that previously used the buildings for practices and meetings, including youth sports, will be able to resume those activities. Although the new fees are lower than originally proposed, some parents are concerned. One parent, Jennifer Shinkle, has four
children who each play at least three sports each. “The participation fees are more than I can fathom at this point ... The amount of money this will cost me is way more than I would have paid if the levy passed,” Shinkle said. Shinkle also expressed concern that if the parents are paying to bring back extra-curriculars, the community won’t feel the need to pass a levy in the future. “The community will have everything that was taken away. Nothing has changed ... Will the community ever, as a whole, stand up for their schools? Why should they have to?” Shinkle said. “I’m just afraid that our schools will not get what they truly need for each and every student,” she said. The board shared Shinkle’s concerns, but felt it was important for students to have the option to be involved in extra-curriculars. “It’s not a perfect plan and we wish we didn’t have to do this at all, but it’s better than nothing,” said board president Ed Dyer said. If anyone has questions, they should call Superintendent Jim Smith between 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 734-2271.

Bethel Founders’ Day Celebration is free event By Mary Dannemiller
ented celebration of the village,” said Ron Shouse, committee chairman. “We’re the second oldest village in Clermont County so we want to celebrate that while trying to bring awareness to what we’re doing with the cabins.” The group puts on Founders’ Day each year in an attempt to raise money to restore Burke Park’s historic log cabins.
mdannemiller@communitypress.com
The Burke Park Log Cabin Committee is busy making final preparations for the third annual Founders’ Day Celebration. The festival will take place in Bethel’s Burke Park from Friday, June 26, through Sunday, June 28. “We try to do an event that is a totally family-ori-
“If you don’t come and enjoy the park as it is now, the cabins will be gone,” said Terri Daugherty, the group’s treasurer. “If we don’t save these cabins, which are a part of Bethel’s history, they won’t be around for future generations.” This year’s celebration will feature a frog jumping contest, a pie eating contest and even a husband calling
contest. “It’s very enjoyable family fun,” said Bethel Village Council member Gary Hutchinson, who once participated in the festival’s pie eating contest. There also will be food, live music, animals from the Cincinnati Zoo and a display of birds of prey, Shouse said. “The best part is that everything is free unless
you want to buy food,” Daugherty said. “There aren’t a lot of other places where you can listen to music, go to the zoo, see birds of prey and spend a relaxing day with your family for free.” Though many of the celebration’s attractions will be free, Shouse said the committee is still trying to raise enough money to put on the event.
“We’re still hoping people will come through with donations and we’re still trying to gather funds for the event,” Shouse said. “We don’t want to have to dip into our savings fund for work on the cabins.” Anyone interested in donating money or services to the Founders’ Day Celebration should contact Ron Shouse at 403-0528.

But even in her absence, the members of the Clermont County League of Women Voters will continue the tradition. “When Sue died, it was such a big loss to the community,” said former league president Cynthia Macke. “She was a phenomenal woman ... But even without Sue being right here and without Orpha, the spirit of the award will continue.” “We want to recognize women who are doing something just above and beyond to make our community a better place and that will always be important,” Macke added.

The Orpha Gatch Citizenship Award is named after Orpha Gatch, an active suffragette who voted in the election of 1920 for Warren Harding. The 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which provided women with the right to vote, was ratified on August 26, 1920. Orpha grew up in Buffalo, N.Y., and pursued a teaching career after graduating from Smith College. She volunteered for service in the American Red Cross during World War I and was sent to France in 1918. While in Bourge, she met
John N. Gatch of Terrace Park, who was serving as a Second Lieutenant in the infantry. They married in early 1919 in St. Nazaire, France, and then moved to Terrace Park. Gatch was the first woman elected to the Milford School Board in 1920 and she was the president of the PTA in the 1930s. In 1927 Gatch and her husband moved to Garfield Avenue in Milford where they raised seven children. In 1958, Gatch helped create the Clermont County League of Women Voters and, at age 78, Gatch marched in the 1970 Fron-
tier Days Parade in Milford dressed as a suffragette carrying a sign “Fifty Years of a Good Idea.” Nominations for the annual Orpha Gatch Citizenship Award will be taken through June 19. Nominees must live in Clermont County and the activities for which the nominee is being recognized must be volunteer. Nominees should symbolize the energy, optimism and trust of the early suffragists. The dinner and award presentation will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25, at Receptions, Eastgate.

Series of meetings to deal with mental illness By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com
Mental illness often carries a stigma that makes it difficult for sufferers to seek help. Phoenix Place in Amelia opened its doors for a series of meetings in June to explain how the agency operates for those who suffer from mental illness, as well as their families, friends and employers. Program Coordinator Rod Glover said Phoenix Place is a consumer-oriented agency
aimed at aiding in the recovery of people suffering from mental illness. This is done through group meetings and educational programs in group settings. Phoenix Place does not provide medical treatment, but works with agencies that do. It is funded by the Clermont County Mental Health and Rehabilitation Board. Glover said Phoenix Place realized there was a “tremendous amount of people out there with mental illness who have not been
.
diagnosed or have been diagnosed improperly.” In addition, there is a stigma attached to mental illness that makes many reluctant to seek help, he said. To reach these people, Phoenix Place scheduled meetings for three Tuesdays in June, from 1 p.m.-4 p.m. at 4 Cecelia Drive in Amelia. Glover said the mission of Phoenix Place is ongoing and those who can’t make the meetings are welcome to stop by the center. It is open 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.
and Lifestream for Kids president. Two local children who died last month of cancer will be honored and remembered at the event. Corey Nickell of Milford died May 8 after being diagnosed with neuroblastoma cancer in early 2007. He was 5 years old. “This was totally unexpected and wonderful that
they’re recognizing children with illnesses,” said Corey’s father Jim Nickell. “We had a lot of support ... but not everyone is so fortunate.” Jenny Huber, 14, of Norwood, who died May 26 of complications from kidney cancer, also will be remembered at the event. At the Walk for Kids, there will be a stroller-decorating contest and a stroller
race. There also will be age and gender appropriate walks and other events and games. “We just want to make sure that everyone comes out and enjoys the day. It’s going to be a lot of fun,” Bailey said. Cincinnati Bengal Shane Graham and local musician Bootsy Collins are tentatively set to appear, she said.
POLITICAL NOTEBOOK Uecker co-sponsors bill
Ohio State Rep. Joe Uecker (R-66th District) cosponsored legislation that would cut by five percent the salaries of all state level elected officials with the exception of members of the judiciary. Due to the constitutional issues related to changing salaries of elected officials, the bill, if passed, would take effect upon the election or re-election of the affected office holders. This bill does not impact
a
county elected officials. “I believe that it’s time legislators put their money where their mouths are. We have spent the last year tightening everyone else’s belts, it’s time we tightened our own. Perhaps if legislators’ salaries were tied to the economic performance of this state, we would all be in better shape,” Uecker said.
Parker seeks nomination
Jim Parker of Waverly, Ohio, will seek the Democ-

A group of middle school students from Williamsburg and Felicity-Franklin schools is headed for the nation’s capital June 22 to June 26. The 25 students – 19 from Williamsburg and six from Felicity-Franklin – will visit a number of sites in Washington as well as make trips to historic sites in Virginia such as Mount Vernon, Fredericksburg Battlefield, Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown and Monticello. The students were selected for the trip through their participation in an enrichment program for gifted students, according to Jeff Weir, Williamsburg Local School District superintendent. Barry Daulton, Williamsburg Middle School Principal, said the group includes students in the school’s gifted program as well as other students who met the qualifications. “It is a culminating experience of things they have done over the past year,” said Daulton. The trip includes a stop at
Arlington National Cemetery, and Daulton said some of the students painted rocks and researched some of the people buried at Arlington. The rocks will be left on the graves when the students visit the cemetery. Other stops include: Capitol Hill, Embassy Row, the World War II Memorial, the Vietnam Memorial, the Smithsonian and the White House. Daulton said he expected the trip will be a great learning experience for the kids. “They learn a lot on these trips,” he said. Teachers and parents from both school systems will travel to Washington with the students. Stephanie Waters is making the trip as a Felicity-Franklin parent. She is also a second-grade teacher for Felicity-Franklin schools. She said the students in the middle school’s gifted program worked on a Civil War project this year and it will be helpful to see some of the sites relating to the Civil War on the trip. “I think it’s a wonderful opportunity,” she said.

BRIEFLY Dump the pump
Clermont County – The county commissioners declared Thursday, June 18, as Dump the Pump Day in Clermont County. “We’d like to encourage people to ride public transportation as a way to save money, protect the environment, reduce our dependence on foreign oil and to improve the quality of life,” said Commissioner Ed Humphrey. “As an incentive to park your car and ride the bus, Clermont Transportation Connection (CTC) will offer county citizens free rides on all fixed routes.” This is the fourth annual Dump the Pump Day, sponsored by the American Public Transit Association. The organization estimates that people who ride public transportation can save more than $8,000 a year, based on parking and gas costs. “We are seeing an increasing number of people choose to park their cars and ride CTC, especially on our fixed routes from New Richmond and Amelia to downtown Cincinnati and the Milford-Miami Township-Goshen route,” said CTC Director Ben Capelle. “By offering free fares on the fixed routes on June 18, we hope that more people will discover the benefits of riding the bus to work, doctor’s appointments and shopping.” Public transportation saves the United States the equivalent of 4.2billion gallons of gasoline annually and saves the equivalent of 900,000 automobile fill-ups every day. For more information about Clermont Transportation Connection fixed routes or the Dial-a-Ride service, visit www.ctc.ClermontCountyOhio.gov or call 732-7433.

Bethel-Tate lays groundwork with youth camp By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com
ANDREA REEVES/STAFF
Growling and yelling, campers gang up on Cameron Wilson, a Bethel-Tate High School varsity football player, and try to tackle him to the ground before a drill at Bethel Youth Football Camp, June 4.
The Bethel-Tate Local School District football program organized a youth football clinic for the week of June 1 and high school head football coach Clint Kirker said the event was a tremendous success. “Words cannot describe how fantastic it was. The weather cooperated, we had 20 varsity kids there to help with hands-on learning, our staff was there, it was just awesome,” Kirker said. “It was my first time running it as the head coach back at my alma mater and it was fantastic to put it on for the community. The entire four days was great.” The clinic was for youth players in grades from kindergarten through seventh, and Kirker said he was especially pleased with how the varsity players responded to the youth camp. “We wanted them to be an active part of the camp and not be invisible, and they

They went above and beyond what we asked and if they continue to do that as a team, we can be pretty good.” Kirker said he feels they have turned a corner at Bethel-Tate and the team now has different expectations. He said they are trying to change the mentality to get people to buy into the fact that Bethel-Tate can win every game on its schedule. Kirker said the youth camp is important for a number of reasons. He said it’s critical to get youth players excited about football because they will take the reigns from the varsity players someday and that interaction with the varsity guys is a key component of the camp. “I know when I was a young kid playing in Bethel, some of the neatest things we did was when the high school was involved,” he said. “I was almost in awe to hang out and do things with the old kids. It’s a tremendous outlet for us.” Kirker also said he feels it’s important to reach out to the youth programs. “They are part of our family. We want to make them feel like they are part of what we’re doing. They get hands on work with the varsity guys and that’s different from just being in the stands on Friday nights,” Kirker said.

He said the team does the things they do for the community and that they want to be successful for everyone that lives in the area. He said engaging the youth program is just another way to make the football community stronger. “There aren’t too many things better than when this place is cranked up on a Friday night and we’re doing things the right way,” Kirker said. “That’s one of the neat things that goes on in an small town. Friday nights are big and we want that and the biggest thing for me is giving our young kids and opportunity to be around the oldest group that’s there.”

June 3 questions
Which are you more likely to attend this summer, a Cincinnati Reds game or a Florence Freedom minor league game? Why? “I’ve already been to a Reds game, but I’ll probably go to a Freedom game also. Each offers something different. I’m excited that the Reds are winning and going to the games are great but the Freedom offers a closer view of the game, cheaper tickets and affordable food. We’re lucky to have so many options.” J.H.
“Florence Freedom. It’s cheaper, less crowded and more enjoyable watching guys who love the game play.” K.P. “Thanks for asking. Go Cincinnati Reds – for a new and young team they are doing Cincinnati proud. I am looking forward to going to the five games my family and I already have purchased tickets for.” L.M.R. “I would have to say a Reds game. The Reds are having a pretty good season so far and I like the attitude of some of the newer players. They are a harder working group of players.” “I do like to go to some Cincinnati Steam games at the field across from Western Hills High School. This is a summer season league for College players during their off season. It’s fun to watch younger players who are playing for the love of the game, instead of a paycheck.” J.W. “I will do to at least 5 games this year. I am a Reds fan all the way. Even though Pete Rose did not get what he deserved from Cincinnati.” T.R. “I will attend two or three Freedom games rather than the Reds. Frankly, it’s cheaper and more fun, especially for the kids. I don’t enjoy going to a Reds game. I end up missing half the game passing food, drinks and change up and down the rows and trying to see around vendors who sell everything but used cars.” W.H. “I would more likely attend a Reds game - just because it is a tad closer and because I am used to going to Reds games.” D.K. “Florence Freedom, without a doubt. Close to home, free parking, cheap tickets, great baseball entertainment, family fun, great deals/sponsors. What a fantastic addition to Northern Kentucky.” T.F. “I prefer the Florence Freedom. Parking is easier and much cheaper, seats are closer to the action, cost of seat is reasonable, players play because they enjoy the game ... and it’s all fun.” C.J.W.

Time to get off the dime and tweet (106)
What’s all this buzz about Twitter and tweeting anyway? (85) As you can see, I’m practicing counting my characters in case I decide to really jump into this Twitter business. (27) It reminds me of the old days when we used to “count” headlines by hand to make them fit the space. (41) In even older days people paid for telegrams by the word, didn’t they? (70) Now, you’ve got 140 characters to say your piece on Twitter (see Twitter.com). (62) The numbers at the ends of my sentences are how many characters I’ve got left before I hit 140, just like on the Twitter Web site. (10) It’s like text messaging in public for an unlimited audience. (79) I’ve had a Twitter account for some time now (it’s free at the moment), but don’t have texting
enabled on my phone, so it’s kind of like having a bicycle without tires. (-28 – ooh, that one won’t tweet (115)) I post my tweets from the Web, Gary Presley which saps some Editor’s of the immediacy it all but keeps Notebook of from tweeting something really stupid. (18) I hope. (133) “Tweets” are the little messages you send on “Twitter” (there is such clever cuteness on the Internet, isn’t there?) that answer the question, “What are you doing? (23) Dang! (135) Tweets can only be 140 characters long, so the trick is to fit what you want to say in that space. (42)
If I were tweeting right now (which I am), I could say “Typing about tweeting” or “Plugging Twitter in the paper” or something like that. (3) There might be a little OCD pandemic on the horizon as people obsess while counting their characters. (39) As with most forms of communication, there is a lot of junk and a little art. (63) I just stumbled on tweets “from” Darth Vader (twitter.com/DarthVader) – what a hoot! (56) Of course, you can also follow us at twitter.com/communitypress.

Now, you’ve got 140 characters to say your piece on Twitter (see Twitter.com).

Ole Fisherman saw young coyote Howdy folks, This last week at the Ole Fisherman’s place was very busy and unusual. I will tell that part later. Last Thursday the Clermont Senior Services “Service with a Heart” had the 10th annual golf scramble with 29 teams. This event is held at the Elks Run Golf Course on Elk Lick Road near Batavia and what a beautiful course. The operators are wonderful people. They take pleasure in helping everybody have a good time and their food was wonderful. Ruth Ann and I always sit on the 17th hole to see if anyone gets a hole in one. Then they would get the use of a Lexus automobile for two years. We’ve never seen this happen, but close. Setting this event up takes a lot of work and the ladies who do this are to be thanked. Thanks Connie and Debbie and all the committee who help. Friday morning our two grandsons Ralph and Curtis were here for breakfast. They wanted pancakes and sausage and boy was it good. We always are happy when
our children or grandchildren are with us. It is such a blessing. Friday evening we had a Grange meeting and it was good. The lady that had the George program is the Rooks chaplain and her program was on Ole love. Fisherman Some of the thoughts were from school children. One that I like was from a 6 year old: When is it OK to kiss someone? It’s never OK to kiss a boy, they always slobber all over so that’s why I stopped. Another one was from an 8 year old: Don’t forget your wife’s name, that will mess up the love. Now on Saturday we went to Wilmington to help celebrate a 97year-old birthday. We have been close friends for over 50 years. There have been some wonderful times. After we left there we stopped at A&M Orchards, and I picked a
fine box of strawberries. They have a fine patch of good quality. We always enjoy seeing these folks especially Marilyn, and one special lady Cindy. This gal has sure gone through some tough physical times. After we left there we went to the Harmony Hill Vineyards and Estate Winery. This is a beautiful place. Friends of ours were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. This is wonderful as we know. The folks who own the winery sure have something to be proud of. They have put a lot of work in this place. When we left, the exit is something to see. The road winds through the farm and the farmer has several fields of soybeans. Ruth Ann and I enjoyed our visit there. They also had a farmers market set up. Now this is the unusual part I mentioned. Sunday morning as we were getting ready to go to church, Ruth Ann heard a noise she didn’t recognize, so I went out on the porch and over at the neighbors there was a young coyote jumping up trying to get to
Sunday morning as we were getting ready to go to church, Ruth Ann heard a noise she didn’t recognize, so I went out on the porch and over at the neighbors there was a young coyote jumping up trying to get to their dog and cat which were inside. their dog and cat which were inside. I hollered at the pup and it looked at me then came running over to us. It was not quite half grown. I was standing at the corner of our house and the pup’s ears stood up and it took off running to the woods across the road. This was exciting to me. Start your week by going to the church of your choice and praise the Good Lord. More Later. God Bless All. George Rooks is a retired park ranger.

Stevia a sweet way to get into herb gardening Growing herbs can be a pleasure for all your senses. And if you’re looking for an herb to help pleasure your sweet tooth, an herb that has no carbs and no calories, then I’ve got what you need! It’s called stevia, or commonly called “sweet leaf” or “sugar bush,” and has been used as a natural sweetener for hundreds of years. The leaves of stevia are refreshing and can be 30 times or more sweeter than sugar (extracts hundreds times sweeter), with 0 carbs, 0 calories, and 0 glycemic index, making it the perfect natural sweetener to be considered for diabetics (check with your doctor first). And what’s even greater is that it can be grown in your own back yard – especially in containers. Stevia is a tender perennial, and is not hardy past Zone 7. So plant it as an annual (actually planted as an annual in warmer zones as well). It will grow in the ground or in containers, morning sun/afternoon shade to full sun, and actually enjoys cooler weather. Defi-

Stevia does not like to be totally dried out for any period of time (and does not like soggy wet – just good, even moisture). In the heat of the summer, you may want to move the plant to a cooler half day sun location.
Harvesting
Pinch the tips of the stevia plant every three to four weeks (3 to 4 inches) to keep the plant shorter, fuller and less susceptible to wind breakage. Use the pinched leaves “fresh.” Stevia is susceptible to wind breakage, so try to find a more calm area to grow, or possibly place inside a tomato cage for support. Harvest your leaves fresh as

The entire plant can be pulled and air dried at the end of the season, or if growing in a container, moved inside and grown indoors over the winter.

Frostbites a cool place for cold treats By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com
Jeanette Kirby was tired of driving all the way to Eastgate to get a good snow cone. So she decided to do something: Open her own snow cone stand in Williamsburg. The stand, called Frostbites, opened May 18. It is owned and operated by Kirby and her 14-year-old daughter, Tori KirbySchwarber. Kirby said working at the snow cone stand is a way for Tori, who will be a sophomore at Williamsburg High School in the fall, to save money for college. Although Kirby and Tori are officially the only two employees at the stand, on most days you will find several of Tori’s friends hanging out and helping. “They’re just volunteers here,” Kirby said. Kirby said she also got a lot of help from family and friends in building the stand, which sits on a vacant lot along Fifth Street.
Frostbites
Address: 279 S. Fifth St., Williamsburg What they offer: More than 100 flavor combinations of snow cones, with plenty of parking and a drive-through window. Specials: When it’s raining, snow cones are half off. Hours: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Frostbites offers only the shaved ice snow cones, but has a wide variety of flavors and combinations of flavors. Kirby said new combinations are always being invented by the kids. The most popular flavor is blue raspberry, she said. Kirby said that so far business has been good. “One person told us we have the best snow cone flavors they’ve ever had,” Kirby said. Kirby said the stand will remain open from May to October, closing down in the colder months. Kirby said she will probably work as a nurse’s aide in the off months.

Ever wonder how normal you are? “normal” molds. The government mold says we’re fairly normal if we pay our taxes and obey federal regulations; science considers us normal when we match their statistics and research; religion tends to see normality as being asexual, unquestioning and docile. Seldom do we hear the encouraging words of St. Francis de Sales: “Be yourself! But be your best self!” “The scientist is always looking for an average,” wrote Carl Jung, “yet the truth is that the carriers of life are individuals, not average numbers. When everything is statistical, all individual qualities are wiped out … If you wipe out the mythology of a man and his entire historical sequence, he becomes a statistical average, a number; that is, he becomes nothing.” Individuation (not indi-
vidualism) means becoming what we have in us to become. God does not create us and then wonder, “Why did I do that?” We are created as a divine idea with a purpose and a destination. There would be no individuation if there were not roadblocks, detours, and personal efforts – just as there would be no path if there was no wilderness around it that was hewn out by our steps. The singularity of each of our paths is part of what makes finding and staying on it so difficult. Nothing is as important as carrying our own cross, said Jesus Christ. Jaffe wrote, “That means the same as finding and following the path of individuation which has been prepared for you from eternity. This is the most difficult path but paradoxically also the easiest because it is the only one that will allow you to die with the knowledge
New video cameras save money, space on vacation when I wouldn’t have been able to do so otherwise. I have since downloaded the video to my computer and looked at the pictures side-by-side with video I had previously taken with my other camera. Even though the older pictures were good, these new pictures were far superior. One other thing, the new Flip camera cost just a fraction of what I paid for that state-of-the art camera years ago. The Flip Ultra HD cost me

If you’re like me, you love to take videos during family vacations – I’ve been doing it for years. But if y o u haven’t checked lately you will be shocked at Howard Ain how small the camHey Howard! eras have become – and much less expensive, too. At first home pictures consisted of black and white stills and movies. That soon gave way to color photos and movies – then videotape. The first video camera I owned was quite large and required a separate video recorder that I carried over my shoulder. When technology changed, I bought a small, excellent, video camera with the tape inside the unit. The size was so small I could hold it in one hand. It cost more than $1,800, but the video was so good I took it on a trip to China and came back with great pictures. I thought video couldn’t get much better – but I was wrong. I recently got a Flip Video HD camera and was shocked at the brilliant, colorful pictures it took – in high definition. My experience with that camera prompted me to buy the Flip Ultra HD camera, which can hold up to two hours of video, instead of one hour, before the pictures have to be downloaded. It comes with a rechargeable battery that can be replaced with two AA batteries should you run out of power and need to keep shooting. I took that camera on a recent trip to Hawaii and was simply amazed at the pictures I got. At one point, I ran out of power while on a road trip and couldn’t stop to recharge the battery. That’s when the ability to use two AA batteries came in very handy – it allowed me to continue taking pictures

“Why can’t you just be normal?” “Why aren’t you like the other (husbands/wives/kids/ whomever)?” Hearing that can make our self-respect hit the skids. For if we are not deemed normal, doesn’t that mean we are considered as abnormal, weird, odd, or peculiar in front of the rest of the world? Analyst Dr. Lawrence Jaffe notes that “Patient after patient speaks to me of the frustration in not being able to be ‘normal.’ What a relief to realize that normality is a statistical concept with no empirical validity … This is no such thing as being normal. But what a long road it is that leads finally to that realization.” Normality is an abstraction derived from the study of statistics. It doesn’t exist in reality. Science may say the

Let sunlight cook next batch of preserves What a fun day. Jalean and Jessie, my daughtersin-law, and their kids went with me to A & M Farms in B r o w n County to p i c k strawberries. T h e a r o m a Rita that hit us Heikenfeld when we Rita’s kitchen got out of our cars was berry heaven! Those folks are so family-oriented. The little ones got to help pick and some ate more than they put in their trays. I’m glad the kids weren’t weighed before and after. The berries were ripe and so delicious. The best part was going back to my house where we made 50 jars of jams and sauces. And we got it all done by mid-afternoon. We’ll serve the jam for Father’s Day breakfast. One of my fond memories is see-
ing my dad, Charlie Nader’s, smile when I’d bring him a jar of sun-cooked strawberry preserves for Father’s Day.
Sun-cooked strawberry preserves
1 quart or pound strawberries, sliced thickly 3 cups sugar or more to taste 1 ⁄2 cup water 2 tablespoons lemon juice Cook sugar, water and lemon juice until boiling and cook until sugar dissolves. Put berries in, lower to simmer and cook just until they start to lose their color and shrink a bit. Pour into sprayed shallow baking pan (I use cookie sheets with sides) in single layers. Set in sun for three to four days. When berries are plump and turn darker red and syrup has jelled, pack into jars without reheating. Store in refrigerator up to a month or in freezer up to
six months. If it rains, bring inside. If insects are a problem, cover with cheesecloth.
slices, quartered 20 slices, 1⁄4-inch, French baguette
Rita’s creamed peas
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. Place provolone on bread. Finish topping with remaining ingredients. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until cheese melts and bread is slightly toasted. Serve warm.
8 oz. or so fresh peas, cooked 1 tablespoon each: cornstarch and butter 1 cup milk 3-4 tablespoons cream cheese with chives Mix cornstarch and milk together. Melt butter and add milk mixture. Cook until thick. Stir in cream cheese and season to taste. Pour over peas and mix.

The theme for the 2009 annual Boy Scouts camporee was aviation. To study aviation, more than 200 Boy Scouts in 20 troops from across Greater Cincinnati visited the Tristate Warbird Museum at the Clermont County Airport April 25. The museum boasts five airworthy World War II vintage aircraft and three others under restoration. This was the largest attendance in any one day since the museum opened in 2005. Museum volunteers took Scouts and their chaperones on tours of the museum to talk about the planes and memorabilia on display.

RAVENWOOD CASTLE: A MOST UNUSUAL GETAWAY Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has

its own food service for guests, so they can spend their entire visit immersed in solitude if they wish, surrounded by tall trees, huge rocks, the castle‘s own hiking trails and plenty of peace and quiet. Or guests can drive the few miles to outside attractions & other dramatic scenery in the Hocking Hills. Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events. Facilities are also perfect for small weddings and other festive occasions. The building has no steps into the 1st floor level - a “drawbridge” leads from the driveway to the massive front door and the first floor guest rms. Nearby are caves, waterfalls, lots of hiking trails, a scenic railway, arts & crafts studios & shop, antique malls and much more. There are often midweek discounts and a special “Royal Family” Adventure Package in the summer.
