Golf carts to hit the streets in Milford Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Don’t be surprised if you pull up to a red light in Milford once the weather breaks and see a golf cart idling in the lane next to you. Milford City Council has decided to allow the small vehicles on roads where the speed limit is 25 mph or lower, so long as they pass a police department inspection to ensure they meet state safety and equipment requirements. If a golf cart makes the grade, police issue its owner or operator a permit to drive it on the road, so long as the driver is properly insured. “The use of golf carts on streets in communities is growing across the country as well as close to Milford, such as Terrace Park and downtown Cincinnati/ Northern Kentucky with a shuttle type service,” Milford Councilwoman Kim Chamberland said. “We had some residents express interest as well as a local business wanting to start a shuttle using golf carts. I saw this as being an environmentally friendly and a possible solution to help with parking.” Councilwoman Lisa Evans said, “I think having golf carts is a fun option for the community. When I heard (Police) Chief (Jamey) Mills was on board, I was in favor. “With parking downtown sometimes being a challenge, this is a great option. It’s also energy efficient.” Golf carts already on the road in Terrace Park Neighboring Terrace Park has allowed golf carts on some of its streets for a year. Gerald Hayhow, who serves as both village administrator and police chief, says it is going well. In 2019, Terrace Park police issued 85 golf cart permits, he said. Milford has issued one since golf carts became street legal in the city last October, Chief Mills said. “The (golf carts in Terrace Park) are strictly used for recreational driving… to the pool, neighbor’s house, UDF etc.,” Hayhow said. “Our experience has been nothing but positive and knock on wood, no accidents.” Terrace Park and Milford's golf cart policies are based on state law that has since 2017 allowed golf carts on roads with speed limits of 35 mph or less, but only at the discretion of local governments. Golf carts on public roads must be titled and issued license plates by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
Milford now allows golf carts on roads where the speed limit is 25 mph or lower. JEANNE HOUCK/THE ENQUIRER
Operators must be at least 16 years old and have a driver’s license. Like in Milford, golf carts in Terrace Park must stay on roads with speed limits of 25 mph or less. The only exception is that operators who need to drive on Wooster Pike, which has a speed limit of 35 mph, can do it so long as they exit onto a 25-mph zone at the nearest through street.
Golf carts in both jurisdictions can cross intersections that include a street with a speed limit above 25 mph if they stay on a street with a 25 mph or less speed limit. In Milford, golf carts may not travel further than the nearest through street in a 35-mph zone. In Terrace Park, golf carts aren’t allowed west of Wrenwood Lane on Wooster Pike.
Well, well, well ... Green Dog Cafe set to re-open Polly Campbell Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
The Green Dog Cafe, the healthy and eco-conscious restaurant in Columbia-Tusculum will be re-opening, according to a post on the restaurant's Facebook page. Green Dog was in operation in Columbia Tusculum from 2008 to 2018. It was a pioneer in offering glutenfree, plant-based items and bowls. Chef/Owner Mary Swortwood said she believes Cincinnati still has room for fresh, innovative recipes to provide quality food. While their targeted market is for those looking for plant-based, vegan and gluten-free menu options. But there is something for everyone, she said. Swortwood will bring back some favorite promotions such as “Green Dog Stamps (a frequent diner card), kids eat free on Saturday and Sunday, and menu items such as the Chihuahua Bowl, Green Dog fries, salmon wrap and pesto quesadilla. They will be open all day Wednesday through Saturday and for Sunday brunch. There will be an emphasis on take-out with pick-up parking at the front door. Liquor, wine and beer will be served and carry-out wine and beer available. Look for re-opening mid-to-late February at 3543 Columbia Parkway.
The Green Bowl from The Green Dog Cafe in Columbia Tusculum has spinach, potatoes and a socca pancake. ENQUIRER FILE

Ohio GOP yanks endorsement of Clermont County candidate Joe Dills Blevins in the Republican primary. Schmidt is backed by House Speaker Larry Householder. Recently, Dills disclosed on Facebook that he had an Ashley MadiJoe Dills son account while a single man in 2013. Ohio Republican Party leader Jane Timken called on Dills to leave the race for the 65th House District, which includes northern and western Clermont County. She said Dills "crossed a line by joining this lewd and inappropriate website," which has the slogan "Life is short. Have an affair." In the end, the state GOP will endorse no candidate in that race. Dills responded that "insiders in Columbus" were trying to get him out of the race. "They have smeared me in an attempt to clear the path for Jean Schmidt."
COLUMBUS - The Ohio Republican Party's governing body rescinded its endorsement of Clermont County candidate Joe Dills recently, citing concerns about the House candidate's participation in a dating website marketed to people seeking affairs. Joe Dills, of Union Township, initially received the support of both the state party and the Clermont County Republican Party over former U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt and pistol instructor Dillon

Why now? GOP central committee member Sarah Brown asked why Republicans didn't know about Dills' "very troublesome" background before the party's endorsement vote in early January. “I’m concerned about the fact that nobody said anything," Brown said. Timken said Brown made a "valid point" and the party might consider changes to its endorsement process in the future. Republican Party Executive Director Rob Secaur said House Republicans had not compiled a thorough history on Dills before the party's endorsement meeting. Householder had recommended Schmidt for the endorsement, but Clermont County GOP's Simpson had offered Dills' name instead. Secaur said the party would have shared the 116-page document earlier if they had received it sooner.

"Believe it or not, by an overwhelming majority, they didn’t care," Simpson said. Simpson sat down with Dills after the news of his Ashley Madison account broke and warned Dills that the candidate should drop out if more problems came up. But Dills wanted to run – even comparing himself to President Donald Trump. "He compared himself to our president, which I said was unfair," Simpson told the Republican governing body. Dills and his wife, Nikea, have defended his past. In a recent statement, Dills said the Ohio Republican Party leaders were "doing everything in their power to get someone as blatantly corrupt as Jean Schmidt elected is, quite frankly, appalling." "The swamp might see this as a victory for them, but it’s going to be a political loser with voters in the 65th District," Dills said. "I’m proud to be the only true conservative in this race and have the support of the Republicans in my district."

organization gave state party leaders 116 pages of opposition research about Dills. The document detailed tax liens, traffic records and allegations of shoving his ex-wife. "Joe Dills clearly isn’t ready for this public exposure. It’s only going to get worse," according to the document which included research by FAR Public Affairs LLC. Timken said she did not know the firm that had prepared the report but it contained mostly public records. The document, reviewed by The Enquirer, detailed how Dills had accounts on Ashley Madison before and after his marriage to second wife Nikea. It also detailed tax liens on Dills' business ventures and allegations that he slammed his ex-wife on the ground in 2010. The alleged abuse was detailed in a background investigation report completed when Dills applied to the Ohio Highway Patrol in 2015. In the report, Dills' first wife said he "grabbed her arm, picked her up and slammed her on the ground" during a heated argument in 2010. Dills' ex-wife did not report the incident to police at the time and told the Ohio Highway Patrol investigator that it was the only time Dills had laid a hand on her, according to the background report. Dills told the patrol investigator that he was defending himself and had never struck a woman. Dills ultimately decided not to join the Ohio Highway Patrol. The research provided by House Republicans also detailed how Dills hadn't voted in some recent elections despite telling the Clermont County GOP that he was a regular voter.

Do you have a goetta recipe or memory? Rita’s goetta Double the recipe if you like. The only changes I made from my family’s original recipe were adding broth, garlic and marjoram. So if you’re a purist like my German in-laws, leave them out. Just add more water to sub for the broth. Either way, it’s good. Ingredients 3-4 pounds fresh pork shoulder/butt, bone in or not, top fat trimmed just a bit 3 generous cups chopped onion and celery (include leaves) 3 bay leaves 2 tablespoons salt 1 tablespoon pepper ⁄2 to 1 teaspoon each: dried marjoram and garlic powder
1
1 quart low-sodium beef broth, and water enough to cover meat in pan. I added up to 6 cups. 30 to 32 oz. regular pinhead/steel cut oats Instructions Put everything but oats in large stockpot. Bring to boil, lower to simmer and cook, partially covered, until meat falls from bone, 2-3 hours or so. Add water as necessary to keep meat under liquid. Dump everything in a colander, straining broth for cooking oats. Set meat and veggies aside. (You’ll shred these while oats cook). Spray a large slow cooker and pour in hot broth. Pour in oats and stir. Cover and cook on high or low, stirring occasionally, until oats are thoroughly cooked. You may need to add water if oats look sort of dry before they’re cooked. Mine took about 21⁄2 hours on high.
Goetta with egg and bacon fried in a cast iron skillet. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER
Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist
A snowy wonderland greeted me when I woke up early this morning. The decision was made: today would be a goetta making day. Goetta, as you may know, is an iconic Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky food with Germanic origins. I don’t have space here to go into goetta’s history but check my site for a photo tutorial of my recipe using fresh pork shoulder/butt, plus recipes from readers, like Bernie Butscha’s great grandma’s recipe. Hers uses pork loin and ground chuck. Terry Balllman’s generational recipe has its origins at the stockyards in Cincinnati. June Cross’ includes beef shank and marrow bone. The Hoerst family uses ground beef
and ground pork. Others add a dash of cloves. Reader Jon Peters uses the recipe and pot handed down from his father-in-law. Jim Reinhart’s crockpot goetta is a reader fave. Get where I’m going here? About the only common denominator is pinhead, also called steel cut oats. We always used the 2 pound bag of Dorsel’s pinhead oats. I couldn’t find that at the grocery. I substituted Quaker steel cut oats, but the container was shy of 2 pounds. Yet the recipe turned out fine. You can use Irish steel cut oats. Don’t use quick cooking pinhead oats. My German in-laws made stove top goetta with freshly slaughtered pork shoulder/butt. My sister-in-law, Claire and I use a slow cooker for part of the process. Do you have a goetta recipe or memory?

• Leg pain and aching • Leg fatigue and heaviness • Leg swelling • Itchy/Burning sensations • Leg cramping • Ankle Sores (Leg ulcers) • Restless legs
Cooked oats will be tender, liquid will be absorbed, and mixture will be thick enough and a bit clumpy looking for big spoon inserted in center to stand straight up. The thicker the consistency, the nicer your goetta sets up. Mix meat and veggie combo in with oats and continue to cook in slow cooker about 30 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally. Or put all in big pot and cook on stove until hot throughout. Remove bay leaves. Adjust seasonings. Line bread pans and spray. Put goetta in, packing tight. Smooth tops. Refrigerate uncovered for 12-24 hours. This creates a slight crust and allows goetta to set up firmly. Store, covered, in refrigerator or freezer. To serve: Cook until crisp with bacon or bacon drippings. It’s heresy in our family to cook any other way.

Viewpoints Ohio GOP was right to pull endorsement Kevin Aldridge Columnist Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
The Ohio Republican Party’s governing body was absolutely right to rescind its endorsement of Clermont County candidate Joe Dills because of his membership on a dating website for people seeking affairs. I wholeheartedly agree with Ohio Republican Party leader Jane Timken who said Dills, a candidate for the Ohio House of Representatives, “crossed a line by joining this lewd and inappropriate website.” I just have one question for Timken and her GOP cohorts. When are you going to yank your endorsement of President Donald Trump and ask him to drop out of the 2020 race? That was completely rhetorical, because we all know the GOP would never do that. Not even if Trump shot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue, as he himself claimed. That’s what makes the state GOP’s tough moral stance on Dills so laughably hypocritical. Ironically, the Ohio Republican Party endorsed Dills on the same day it reaffirmed its support of President Trump. Dills has been bounced by his party for having an account on the Ashley Madison website before and after his marriage to second wife Nikea. A dossier containing 116 pages of opposition research on Dills also detailed tax liens on his business ventures and allegations that he slammed his ex-wife on the ground in 2010. (What is it with Republicans and dossiers?) So let me get this straight. Cheating on your wife, assaulting a woman and being a bad businessman with tax problems can disqualify a candidate from the statehouse but not the White House? When asked why Timken was calling on Dills to resign when Trump, the head of her party also engaged in lewd conduct by bragging about groping women’s private parts, Ohio GOP spokesman Evan Machan said in a statement that “there’s no comparison” between the two.
But that’s the problem with politics today. Character no longer counts. Being honorable, honest and humble used to mean something. No one’s perfect, and I’m not suggesting that people can’t be redeemed from their past or that who someone was 20 years ago is who they are today. But we should at least make our elected leaders account for their past actions and decisions and not simply gloss over them as if they are meaningless. He’s right. Trump is worse. The president has been plagued by allegations of affairs and sexual misconduct throughout his three marriages to Ivana Trump, Marla Maples and Melania Trump. Former porn star Stormy Daniels said she had an affair with Trump in 2006, a year after he married Melania and just months after the first lady gave birth to their son, Barron. The president is alleged to have even made hush-money payments from the Oval Office to keep his affair quiet. I can already hear the diehard Trump supporters and sycophants now: “Those allegations have never been proven.” I guess the same could be said for Dills. Having an Ashley Madison account isn’t exactly proof of an extramarital affair. But it sure as heck doesn’t pass the smell test does it? The state GOP also seemed bothered by allegations that Dills slammed his exwife on the ground in 2010. Yet, the Access Hollywood tape of Trump bragging about kissing and groping women without their permission didn’t make a dent in the party’s rock-solid support for the president. “When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything,” Trump said in the recording. I guess that’s true, especially when you’re surrounded by a bunch of enablers willing to look the other way. If his domestic issues weren’t enough, Dills’ failed business ventures, tax troubles and not voting in some recent elections sealed the newcomer’s political fate. But who knew that even mattered to a party that has been apathetic about Trump’s tax returns and
whether he is paying his fair share of taxes. The majority of Republicans didn’t bat an eyelash at Trump’s failed business ventures including his Atlantic City casinos, Trump University, golf courses and various real estate developments. No big deal, right? That’s why I don’t blame Dills for comparing himself to Trump. As I’ve laid out here, the two have a lot in common. But what guys like Dills and former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin had to learn the hard way is that no matter how much your try to emulate Trump, you’re not Trump. “Teflon Don” has shown an uncanny ability to outlast the skeletons in his closet. Dirty secrets and questionable pasts that sink normal politicians like Dills don’t seem to stick to the president. Dills is a first-time candidate who wasn’t ready for the rough-and-tumble nature of state politics. He should have expected that his political opponents, both inside and outside the party, would be out for blood, especially after he won the GOP’s endorsement, and whatever dark past he had would be revealed
eventually. Clermont County Republican Party Chairman Greg Simpson defended Dills, saying many local Republicans weren’t concerned about Dills’ Ashley Madison membership. “Believe it or not, by an overwhelming majority, they didn’t care,” he said. But that’s the problem with politics today. Character no longer counts. Being honorable, honest and humble used to mean something. No one’s perfect, and I’m not suggesting that people can’t be redeemed from their past or that who someone was 20 years ago is who they are today. But we should at least make our elected leaders account for their past actions and decisions and not simply gloss over them as if they are meaningless. If character doesn’t matter, then let’s stop telling our young people that it does. Let’s stop pretending that morality matters more than what a politician, or anyone for that matter, can do for us. Let’s teach our kids, it doesn’t matter if you’re a cheater, so long as you deliver results for me. It doesn’t matter if you are dishonest, so long as the outcome turns out in my favor. No one would consciously teach that to their child. But whether we realize it or not, that’s the message we are sending to future generations with our conduct right now. All I’m saying is, if Joe Dills isn’t worthy of the Ohio Republican Party’s endorsement, then neither is President Trump. Opinion and Engagement Editor Kevin S.

West Clermont: Expect cuts if school levy fails Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
West Clermont Local School District officials say teachers, busing, athletics and the arts will be cut if voters don’t pass an emergency operating levy March 17. The West Clermont Board of Education already has voted to make those cuts and more should the 7.99mill levy fail. Some $3.5 million would have to be carved out of the budget effective in the 2020-2021 school year without the new revenue, Superintendent Natasha Adams said in a press release issued by the school district. “These cuts are not threats; this is our financial reality,” Adams said. “The failure of this levy would prevent us from providing students with the current level of programs and services and would jeopardize our ability to retain staff.” It’s been 15 years since a new operating levy has been approved in the West Clermont school district,
which includes Union Township and parts of Batavia, Monroe, Ohio and Pierce townships in Clermont County. If the levy is approved in March, residents will pay an additional $23.30 per $100,000 of their homes' appraised value per month. “As this district has seen in the past, levy failures have resulted in significant cuts to student programs, experiences and opportunities and can contribute to lower academic performance and growth and that is not the experience we want for our children,” Adams said.
Superintendent: Cuts would be catastrophic for students Here are some of the things the West Clermont school board has pledged to do if the levy goes down: ❚ Cut at least 26 teaching, 17 classified and three administrative positions. ❚ Increase class sizes at the middle and high schools to at least 30 students.
❚ Reduce busing to the minimum state requirement, which mandates transporting elementary and middle school students who live more than two miles from their schools. That would eliminate busing for an estimated 65 percent of elementary and 9 percent of middle school students. ❚ Offer fewer athletic teams and increase the participation fee to $500 per sport with no cap for middle and high school students. ❚ Reduce high school English, math, science and social studies courses. ❚ Reduce art, health, music, physical education and technology courses districtwide. ❚ Eliminate 72 extracurricular clubs districtwide. Adams said the cuts would have a catastrophic effect on the student experience in the West Clermont schools and would not get the district out of its financial straits. “Failure of the levy followed by the implementation of these reductions will not be enough to keep the district out of the red, and we will have to return to the ballot,” Adams said.
Goshen Middle School recognized as ‘School to Watch’ Goshen Middle School was redesignated an Ohio School to Watch by the Ohio Department of Education. The Ohio Department of Education’s Ohio Schools to Watch program recognizes exemplary middle schools who are growth-oriented and constantly “on the move” toward higher achievement of all students. The initiative launched by the National Forum to Accelerate Middle-Grades Reform identifies schools across the U.S. that are well on their way to meeting the criteria for high-performing middle-level schools which include academic excellence, developmental responsiveness, social equity, and organizational structures and processes. Only 488 out of 13,253 middle schools across the entire country are designated as National Schools to Watch and 17 middle schools out of 1,044 in Ohio have received this honor. GMS was initially designated in January of 2017 under the leadership of then the principal, Mark Edwards. As a designated OSTW building, the school must apply for re-designation every three years. The process to become re-designated as a National School to Watch and an Ohio School to Watch includes meeting the academic criteria on state tests, submitting an application for consideration and a successful site visit from the review board. GMS has now been re-designated under the leadership of Principal, Wendy Flynn. To qualify for the distinction, the building staff
must meet criteria set by the ODE’s OSTW committee in the areas of academic excellence, developmental responsiveness, social equity and effective organizational structure and processes. The committee is focused on improvements based on the previous site visit. They are also interested in any new programs/initiatives, changes, and/or approaches that have been implemented since being designated. To do this they interview administration, teachers, staff, students and parents about the school. They also visit every classroom to evaluate if the school matches the rigorous criteria of the National Forum to Accelerate Middle Grades Reform. The OSTW Committee that visited GMS was impressed with the interventions and programs that have been put in place since they last visited. One committee member said, “GMS has become a community of practice that seeks new initiatives to support the needs of all students. There is a shared vision that drives change in the building.” GMS Principal, Wendy Flynn gave kudos to her staff. She said, “I’m proud of the GMS staff for how well they support our students every day. This designation is a great reflection of our staff and how focused they are in meeting all of the needs for all of our students.” As a re-designated Ohio School to Watch GMS will be recognized by: The National Forum to Accelerate Middle-Grades Reform at the National Schools To Watch Conference
June 24-27, Washington, DC (GMS Team expected to present) The Ohio Middle Level Association will also recognize re-designated Ohio Schools to Watch at their annual conference on Oct. 22-23 in Columbus. Part of becoming a National School to Watch includes allowing other administrators from middle schools across the United States the chance to see what works in our classrooms as well as representatives from the school travel to the national conference in Washington D.C. to talk to schools across the country about what they are doing at Goshen Middle School.

Sports Turpin boys get 1st ECC title since 2014 Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
ANDERSON TOWNSHIP - It’s been bedlam off Bartels Road on boys basketball nights, particularly when Turpin junior Dominic Cantrella chucks in a 75-footer to defeat McNicholas and claim “King of the Hill” rights. Now, the Spartans are “Kings of the Eastern Cincinnati Conference” after defeating Kings High School 5736 on Feb. 11. The latest run of luck began Feb. 1 as Cantrella finished with 15 points and made all three of his shots beyond the arc against McNicholas, including the buzzer-beater from Space Jam range. Then Friday, Feb. 7, in a nail-biter at Walnut Hills, Matthew Sheffer hit a three-pointer to tie the Eagles, followed by Cantrella picking a pocket and scampering in for a winning lay-up and a 66-64 victory. Tuesday, Feb. 11 at Klinger Court, Turpin clinched its first Eastern Cincinnati Conference basketball title in six years with the 21-point triumph over Kings. The Spartans last won in 2014 when current Turpin seniors Owen Spencer, Harry Tyszkiewicz, Trey Shetler, Quincy Mussio and Josh Bell were sixth-graders. Tyskiewicz capped the night off with game-high 17 points based on a quintet of three-pointers, each celebrated with three fingers being held high in the air. “I only shoot threes really,” Tyskiewicz said. “I really don’t get in the paint that much. I’m 5-foot-10 and have short arms so I stick to the threes.” Coach Josh Slonim is a 2005 Turpin grad who won a league title and sectional title while playing for the Spartans. He can now look at the Spartans banner on the wall and know he’s been part of a championship as a player and a coach. “It’s fun getting to do it as a player here and then being back at the school I played at,” Slonim said gazing at the league title banner in the gym. “We have bigger goals, but this was the first goal that we had that some of these guys wanted to achieve. We came up a game short last year.” Slonim has reminded his players of the bond that’s now formed through a title as he’s still friends with the Spartans of ‘04 that won a league crown back in the Fort Ancient Valley Conference days. “They’ll always have these memories, like Harry (Tyskiewicz) having 17 tonight, career-high by a mile,”
Turpin's Dominic Cantrella (4) drives to the basket against Kings Knights player PJ Marchal.
Slonim said smiling. “He’ll never forget the night he clinched the league and hit five threes.” Juniors Cantrella and Jackson Holt lead the Spartans in scoring, with the 6-9 Spencer, 6-5 football tight end Josh Bell and 6-3 Trey Shetler banging the boards. Juniors Theisen Lee and Ethan Zinn and senior Tyszkiewicz are also part of Coach Josh Slonim’s rotation. but really every Spartan is ready. Many nights, the entire bench has played minutes with Slonim moving pieces around like musical chairs on Mountain Dew. “Every game kind of calls for different things and we’ve got guys that do different things,” Slonim said. “We’ve created the energy of you never know when your name’s going to get called. It could be 30 seconds left and we want to go small, or we’ve got size and we want to take advantage of it. We’ve got guys for different moments.” The recent “man of the moment” has been Cantrella who has written himself into Turpin reunion stories to come with his bomb to beat McNicholas and his steal See TURPIN, Page 2B

Milford wins title at national dance, cheer contests Alex Harrison Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
A week after Seton High School returned from Orlando, Fla. with a national title from the Universal Dance Association National Dance Team Championship, Milford High School and Boone County High School and returned with titles from the organization's cheer competition. Boone County won the Small Varsity Division I championship while Milford took first place in the Varsity Non-Building Game Day Finals. It was the secondconsecutive overall national championship for Boone County. Milford's event championship was its secondstraight title and third in the last four years. Milford finished third in the Small Varsity NonBuilding finals. The Universal Cheerleaders Association and the UDA combined to host the events over two weekends where more than 25,000 athletes from 36 different states danced and cheered at Walt Disney World Resort. Seton won the Medium Varsity Hip Hop title in the dance competition held the weekend of Jan. 31. Boone County and Milford competed the following weekend in the cheer competition. Each school qualified after competing and advancing through regional events or camps. Dance competitors were judged on choreography, technique, execution and overall effect while cheer competitors were judged on crowd leading abilities, stunting, tumbling skills and overall performance according to a release. After originally being live-streamed online, the events will be re-broadcast on ESPN2 and ESPNU in late March.

to beat Walnut Hills in consecutive games. “It was crazy hitting that long shot but we’re just focused on the tournament,” Cantrella said. “That’s a cool experience (winning league). We haven’t done it in a while.” Cantrella is one of eight juniors on the roster, plus one sophomore. With usual hot-hand Holt among those returning, expect Turpin to be in the hunt for another league title next winter. “Next year we should have another good team so I’m excited for the future,” Cantrella said. The Spartans have more size than most ECC teams with 6-9 Citadel-bound center Owen Spencer, 6-8 Quincy Mussio and 6-5 Josh Bell. At 6-8, junior Ian Ashcraft has been injured but will return next season. “We can guard you different ways,” Slonim said. “We’ve got bigs where we can go zone, we can play our 3-2 pretty effectively. Then we can go 1-3-1 or we can go man and be solid or go man and pick you up if we want to go small. In the tournament, you have to be ready for how you want to scheme against each and every team.” Turpin starts the Division I postseason against Western Brown Saturday, Feb. 22, at Lakota West. A win would put them against ECC rival Anderson or Elder from the Greater Catholic League-South on Feb. 27. Beyond that, they would likely have to get by Greater Miami Conference leader Lakota East to advance into March and play at Xavier’s Cintas Center.

When traveling, keep a lookout for eagle nests Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist
Howdy folks. This article will be a little different this time. I saw in the paper a story about the bald eagle and how they have made a comeback. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources said in 1979 as far as they knew there were only four nesting pairs of bald eagles in Ohio. In 2019 they say we have 350 nests of eagles here in Ohio. That is great! The Eagles are a beautiful bird. We have a nest on East Fork and that is great. Several folks have told me they have seen them.
ODNR is asking that when you are traveling to keep a lookout for eagle nests and mark the location for ODNR. The eagles are a real joy to watch and see. The other bird is the Osprey. They are in the eagle family. Ruth Ann and I have watched them feed. One time, an Osprey was sitting in a tree and it would fly out and get a shad from the lake then land back in the tree and drop the shad. It would fly out on the lake and get another shad then sit down and drop the shad. This happened four times till the bird used both feet to hold onto the branch. We thought it was funny to see this. The Osprey have been on the lake for years. The deer season for hunting is over with an increase in the deer harvest this year. The total harvest was 184,465. This was up from last year’s 6.8%. There
were 172,670 deer checked in a year ago. The farmers are concerned about your soybean crop and how the deer will eat the young beans and destroy the crops. It is not unusual to drive this road or any other and see several deer. Their babies are so beautiful. Talked to Mike at the Boars Head Bait Shop and he said folks are catching a lot of crappie now even with all the rain. Mike also said there is something new on the lake – a guide service. The folks the guide is taking out our catching a lot of fish and getting 30 fine crappie each day to take home. The new guide service is really doing good. The name is Daniel’s Guide Service and his telephone number is 513-464-9762. He seems to have each day booked up and good success so if you don’t have a boat to use give him a call and get some extra fine eating fish.
Mike said the new ramp they fixed on the Afton side is really going to be a benefit for the fisherman. The gate is still closed, and it will be open later so you can go down. There is a new restroom and the dock is longer so no long wait to put your boat in. There is so much to see when you come to the park so take your time and look at what the good Lord has given us. Now something very important: Mr. Chester and Miss Chessie are doing fine. They both eat plenty of cat food and that is good. Chester likes to lay on the back of my chair. Miss Chessie likes to lay on my lap. Start your week by going to the house of worship of your choice and praising the good Lord. God bless all... More later...

Melink completes Zero-Energy Building at super-green campus Melink Corporation has completed construction of HQ2, its second Zero-Energy headquarters, at its super-green business park in Milford, Ohio. The Melink HQ2 is a Zero-Energy Building (ZEB), meaning that the total amount of energy used by the building on an annual basis is less than or equal to the amount of renewable energy generated on site. The cutting-edge project serves as a prototype ZEB for architects, engineers, and owners to help mainstream Zero-Energy best practices. “Our goal is to show the world that new and existing buildings can be made Zero-Energy at a cost premium of less than 15%,” said Steve Melink, who founded Melink Corporation in 1987. “The benefits are not only significant energy savings but a reduced carbon footprint and enlightened corporate brand that attracts and retains customers and employees.” To achieve Zero-Energy, also commonly referred to as “Net Zero,” HQ2 features several innovations, including a super-insulated envelope, super-geothermal heating/cooling system, an intelligent ventilation system, automatic lighting and shade controls, and a solar PV canopy in its parking lot with charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs).
Clermont DD Board members were sworn in by Commissioner Claire Corcoran at their January 23 meeting. From left: Corcoran, Robert Grant, Emily Chesnut, David Thamann; Kim Pellington; Dr. Kim Brady; Mary Jane West; Michael Chapman; and Clermont DD Superintendent Dan Ottke. PROVIDED
Businesses, schools, and government agencies are invited to tour the Melink HQ2. Melink’s purpose is to educate and inspire other leaders who can further accelerate and capitalize on the shift to a clean energy economy. A grand opening celebration for HQ2 is being planned for late spring. HQ2 is the second building on Melink’s campus. HQ1 was constructed in 2005 as a LEED Gold facility, and in the following years it was improved to Net-Zero Energy, Energy Star 99, and LEED Platinum. Also, Melink’s fleet of vehicles consists of all hybrid and EVs. Melink Corporation is a global provider of energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions for commercial buildings with five offerings: Intelli-Hood Kitchen Ventilation Controls, HVAC Test & Balance, Solar PV , Geothermal HVAC, and PositiV Building Health Monitor. For more than 30 years, Melink has helped companies save energy, increase profitability, and make the world more sustainable. In 2018, Melink became an ESOP and is now 100% employee-owned.

SCHOOL NEWS ‘It’s not for the winning’ say two NRHS seniors about LLS Student of the Year competition “He’s my why.” This short sentence is charged with passion as expressed by two New Richmond High School seniors who are heading up a fundraising effort to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). In 2015 Addie Fagan’s grandfather, Pat Fagan Sr., lost his battle with leukemia. It was a battle that was all too familiar to Fagan’s best friend, Lynsey Kennedy. Kennedy’s earliest childhood memories include days at Children’s Hospital as her older brother, Dustin, faced down the malignant, progressive disease. “When my mom was pregnant with me, he was diagnosed,” Kennedy said. “So, I grew up with making friends with cancer patients. It was always sad to see some of them go. Being older now, I realize that they didn’t all just go home. They weren’t just going on a trip to Disney and going home.” Despite being diagnosed with terminal cancer, Dustin survived. But as an adult, he bears the battle scars from aggressive treatments. Given this, it’s easy to understand why Kennedy jumped at the chance to join Fagan in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Student of the Year campaign. Together, the friends are hoping to raise as much money as possible to help fund research to find a cure for cancer. There are about 20 individuals/ teams throughout the region vying for the title of LLS Student of the Year. Every dollar raised counts as one vote. The candidates/teams who raise the most money at the end of the seven-week competition win the Student of the Year title. While the competition is all fine, Fagan and Kennedy say it’s secondary. They don’t expect to win a title. “It’s not for the winning,” Kennedy said of their purpose. “We have a personal goal we would like to reach. It’s $15,000.” To reach this goal, Fagan and Kennedy need the community’s support. How to help There are ways to help Fagan and Kennedy reach their goal: ❚ Donate on their webpage: https://

However, they are committed to success. “I think I can speak for both of us when I say our why outshines the challenges,” Fagan said. The money raised will help LLS in its ongoing effort to find cures and better treatments for blood cancer patients. Future plans for both Fagan and Kennedy are heavily influenced by their experiences with cancer. After high school, Fagan plans to attend the University of Cincinnati to major in nursing. Kennedy plans to attend Xavier University for premed. She hopes to one day be a pediatric oncologist. Sheila Vilvens, New Richmond Exempted Village School District

FHSD preschool lottery is open through Feb. 23 Parents and guardians of students who will be three- to five-years-old on or before Aug. 1 can now apply for a seat in Forest Hills’ preschool program.
The Forest Hills preschool program integrates preschool students that are typically developing (peer models) with children that have identified needs and require an Individualized Education Program (IEP). FHSD uses an online lottery system for peer model acceptance into preschool. The lottery will be open through Feb. 23; the drawing will occur on Feb. 25 to award seats in preschool classes. Parents will be notified by email soon after acceptance into preschool. Once accepted, parents can begin registration procedures. Parents of students who were drawn in the lottery will have one week to complete registration and pay a tuition deposit of $100. Students who are not drawn in the lottery will be placed on a wait list. The program operates at Sherwood and Summit elementary schools for all Forest Hills students. Classes are held Monday through Thursday with morning sessions from 9:15 a.m. to 12 p.m. and afternoon sessions from 1 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. The curriculum is guided by the Ohio Department of Education’s Early Learning and Development Standards that focus on social-emotional, cognitive, language, literacy and motor development. Daily schedules include group time, snacks, music appreciation, dramatic play, large muscle development and small muscle development. Parents are responsible for providing transportation. The peer model program tuition is $1,800. To learn more and to enter into the lottery, visit www.ForestHills.edu/preschool.html. For information regarding special education preschool services, or for any additional questions, please contact Patty Dold, administrative assistant, at 231-3600, ext. 2950 or pattydold@foresthills.edu.
