At a time when it was mostly men fighting for American freedom Lynn Ashley decided to break the stereotype. Ashley enlisted in the Army in 1943 at the age of 24. After her training, Ashley worked at bombardier training school in New Mexico, where she worked with some of the military’s most advanced technology. Ashley will be one of the women telling her story at the Clermont County League of Women Voters 13th Annual Suffragist Dinner and Orpha Catch Citizenship award presentation at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25, at Receptions Conference Center East, 4450 Eastgate Blvd. The other keynote speaker is Nancy Arnold,

“These women are impressive. They have made a real impact on their community ... They both have very interesting stories.”

Cyndy Wright President of Clermont County League of Women Voters

a charter member and facilitator of a military support group. Her efforts have given her numerous opportunities to volunteer with groups such as the American Red Cross, United Way, The Thank You Foundation and many more. Arnold also is a member of the board of directors for The Thank You Foundation. Through her involvement in the International Association of Administrative Professionals, Arnold co-chaired the Employee Cam-

paign Coordinators Council for United Way of Greater Cincinnati for the 2008 Employee Campaign. Former President George W. Bush presented Arnold with the 2008 Presidential Volunteer Award. “These women are impressive. They have made a real impact on their community,” said Cyndy Wright, league president. “...

Mike Hoffer of Miami Township has been participating in New Richmond’s Cardboard Boat Regatta every year since 1995 and never had a boat sink on him – until last year. Hoffer built a boat that looked like a John Deere tractor for the 2008 event. He was sitting in the boat when he felt the bottom start to give out under his feet. He fell through the bottom and the boat sank around him. But Hoffer is not giving up. He’ll be back at this year’s Aug. 22 event with a new boat. His 2009 entry looks like a Ohio River coal barge being pushed by a tow. He’s a big Ohio State fan, so the boat will be named “Buckeye Barge.” It’s a one-man boat that he will propel with a kayak paddle. Hoffer, a manager at Duke Energy, always tries to come up with a unique design for his boats. Two years ago it was a school bus. He builds his boats in his garage, working mostly alone with a little help from his wife. Ray Perszyk, one of the organizers of the regatta who goes by the nickname “Cardboard Boat Ray,” said he expects a record number of entries this year. Last year there were 42 boats in the race.

Schedule of events Friday, Aug. 21 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. – Cheap Thrill Band 9 p.m. to midnight – Shane Daniels & Unbridled Saturday, Aug. 22 Noon – Cardboard Boat Race Registration 1 p.m. – Cardboard Boat Race begins 3:30 p.m. – Cardboard Boat Race awards ceremony 4:30 p.m. – Village awards 5 p.m. – Veterans recognition ceremony 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. – Freedom Band 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. – Midnight Special Band 10 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. – Fireworks 10:30 – Midnight Special Band Sunday, Aug. 23 Noon to 3 p.m. – Car Show registration 1 p.m. – Cincinnati Zoo animals 1 p.m. – Register for corn hole tournament 1 p.m. – Loveland Prop Busters RC airplane flying club 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. – Live From Cincinnati band 2 p.m. – Cornhole tournament 3 p.m. – Water ski demonstration by the UC national championship water ski team 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. – Fire/EMS Auxiliary Car Show 5 p.m. – Car show awards ceremony 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. – Dr. Dan & the Stray Dogs This year should see 50 or more. The race begins at 1 p.m. Aug. 22 along New Richmond’s riverfront. Registration is at noon. New Richmond Mayor Ramona Carr said the regatta was “a very fun event. It attracts a lot of people.” “It gets better every year,” said

Bob Lees, owner of the Front Street cafe, who has been involved in the redevelopment of New Richmond. Lees said visitors should check out the exhibits of past races and boats at the Cardboard Boat Museum on Front Street. He said the museum is a good complement to the race – people will come down

to see the boats and become more interested in the regatta’s history. The regatta is just part of the three-day RiverDays festival that includes music, food, a classic car show, fireworks and other events. The classic car show Sunday will be sponsored this year by the New Richmond volunteer firefighters and emergency medical technicians. Lees said the regatta will benefit the entire festival. The regatta occurs at a time of day – early afternoon – when attendance at festivals is usually low. But the thousands who come to watch the race should linger for other activities. Donna Hammons, village clerk of council and a RiverDays organizer, said an exciting new event this year will be a demonstration at 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 23, by the University of Cincinnati water ski team. Also Sunday, at 1 p.m., will be a demonstration by the Loveland Prop Busters RC airplane flying club. Club member Gary Carnes said radio-controlled planes with floats attached will take off and land on the river. Hammons said the festival usually draws 20,000 to 30,000 people over the weekend. She expected another good turnout this year. “It’s a great lineup for the whole weekend,” Hammons said.

Lytle’s birthday party is Sunday By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

The Harmony Hill Association is giving a birthday party for William Lytle, a Clermont County pioneer and the founder of Williamsburg. Lytle was born on Sept. 3, 1770, and Harmony Hill tries to plan its annual celebration as close to his birthday as possible, Izella Cadwallader said. This year’s event is 2-5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 23, at Harmony Hill, 299 South Third Street, Williamsburg. Lytle surveyed Williams-

burg in the 1790s and built his own home on the site of Harmony Hill. His dairy house, built in 1800, is the oldest historical structure in Clermont County and is on the National Register of Historic sites. The dairy house and Harmony Hill museum will be open for the birthday celebration. The museum has an extensive collection of items related to the history of Williamsburg. New exhibits include a display of Barbie Dolls and baseball memorabilia. The Olde Williamsburgh

Weavers will be giving demonstrations on an 1800s barn loom and wool will be spun on spinning wheels made by a local artisan, Earl Pringle. The Williamsburg Community Band will provide a program of patriotic and popular music from 3-4 p.m. It is suggested that everyone bring a lawn chair to enjoy the event. Refreshments, including cake and ice cream, will be served during the afternoon. For more information on the celebration or Harmony Hill call 724-7824 or 7247790.

Pierce Twp. seeks stimulus funds Pierce Township is seeking federal stimulus funds for two public works projects. The projects involve hillside stabilization along Jenny Lind Road at a projected cost of $72,000 and fixing retaining walls along the lower part of Cole Road at a cost of $250,000. Township Administrator David Elmer said the grant

requests, submitted through the Ohio Public Works Commission, would require about $86,000 in matching funds by the township. Trustee Christopher Knopp said the township had been looking at the Cole Road project for some time before the possibility of the federal grants came along. Trustee Greg Conrad

agreed the work needed to be done and the cost of matching funds could be handled within the township’s budget. Pierce Township applied for federal stimulus funds earlier this year for the police department, but these are the first requests made through the Ohio Public Works Commission.

Senior housing review

Architect Rick Pansiera presents the blue print and artist’s rendering of the proposed Demmitt Woods senior housing facility before a packed audience at a community review meeting June 10 in the council chambers at Batavia Village Hall. The proposed 48-unit senior housing facility is sponsored by Clermont Senior Services who, in the near future, will submit its funding application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. If approved, the facility should be ready for occupancy in 2011. “I gratefully thank the Batavia community for its support,” said Clermont Senior Services Executive Director George Brown. “It is encouraging to see how many turned out for the meeting. It provided an opportunity for people to comment on the proposed senior housing and to exchange ideas.”

Humvee memorial moves forward By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

A veterans memorial with a Humvee military vehicle as a centerpiece will be dedicated at a ceremony in Batavia Township Nov. 11. The vehicle was donated to the township several years ago, and trustees have been looking for an appropriate way to display it. The trustees voted Aug.

4 to adopt a resolution to build Veterans Memorial Plaza at the entrance to the Batavia Township Community Center, 1535 Clough Pike. The memorial will honor veterans from all wars and will have the Humvee as its centerpiece. The project has been given a budget of $40,000, but trustees hope that public donations and fundraisers will defray much of the cost.

The project got a boost when a donation of $10,000 was raised at a Rotary Club golf outing in July. Administrator Rex Parsons said the township has enough funding to get the project started. The full name of the four-wheel drive vehicle is High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, which is abbreviated as HMMWV or Humvee.

House becomes gathering place for village artists By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

An historic house in the village of Batavia is now a place where children and adults can work on their artistic skills. An art enrichment camp for children in grades three through eight began in June at the Village Art House, 120 N. Market St. About 40 children attended the sessions and more classes are planned in July. Kathy McCoy said the building was built in 1832 and was the residence of the first mayor of the village. For 25 years, it has housed McCoy’s business, Kathy McCoy Design Services. Several years ago she got involved in efforts to start an art education center

in the village. However, attempts to find a location were unsuccessful. When the real estate market slumped and her business slowed down, McCoy decided it was the right time to open the art center in her building. She worked with Joy Mansfield, an art teacher at Brantner Elementary in the West Clermont Local School District, to develop an art education program. Two other art teachers, Debbie Downie and Suzy Pellegrini, were brought on to help teach the classes. Mansfield said the response from the children has been great. “They want to do more,” she said. She said the teachers run the classes like a classroom

– making sure the students learn the basic principles of design. “It gives them one-onone experience working with an art teacher. They get a lot of individual help,” she said. McCoy said she plans to add adult classes in July taught by prominent local artists. There also is an open house on July 25. She envisions the art house as a place where people can participate in all the fine arts. She said poetry readings are among the activities planned for the future. “I’m hoping it takes off and grows,” she said. For more information on the art house and programs, call 732-2177 or visit www.villagearthouse.com.

For the fifth year in a row, the Pierce Township Police Department has been named one of the top 10 departments in the state for safety. Police Chief Col. James T. Smith said the Ohio Department of Public Safety has recognized the department for its efforts in the areas of seat belt and drunk driving enforcement. Smith said the department’s safety program goes beyond just issuing tickets. He said the officers make a commitment to safety education by working with schools and young people. This includes having seat belt safety checkpoints at schools and awarding certificates to young people who wear their seat belts. Smith said more than 1,000 police departments throughout the state compete for the recognition. “It’s a program we’re very proud of,” Smith said. Smith said the state awards equipment to the top

departments. One year, Pierce Township won a police cruiser at no cost to the township. He said the department has received more than $40,000 in equipment through the program over the past five years. Smith said the program also has paid off in lower fatality rates for the township. Township Trustee Bonnie Batchler said the recognition “just shows how hard our police chief is working to

make sure we have a topnotch police department.” She said the winning of the police cruiser and other equipment has helped the township out financially. “It makes us very proud. He has done an excellent job,” she said. Trustee Christopher Knoop said the chief “had done an excellent job of staying on top of opportunities.” He called the recognition an example of “a high quality department.”

Amelia valedictorians look to future Amelia co-valedictorians share their thoughts about the future and remember their high school careers. Name: Katherine (Kate) Hart Parents’ names: Derek and Donna Hart Grade Point Average: 4.45 College: Case Western Reserve University Major: Chemical engineering Scholarships: Total of $512,000 offered. Accepting $27,500 (renewable) Trustee’s Scholarship from Case, $1,000 Walter C. Comstock Memorial Scholarship, and $2,000 (renewable) Siemens National Merit Scholarship. Last book read: “Pendragon 10.” And yes, it was awesome. Quirkiest study habits: “Um, none. I yawn uncontrollably when I take tests, though.” Favorite school lunch: “I pack.” Favorite teacher: “No way. You can’t make me choose just one. There’s Mrs. Kuzma, Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Corotis, Mrs. Hickey, Mr. Hatfield, and of course Ms. Conway.” Greatest inspiration: “I don’t base my actions on anyone else’s success. I want to do my own thing.” Where will you be in 10 years? “I will be solving the energy crisis, one fuel cell at a time.” Most vivid high school memory: “Probably the musical this

year. I had a lot of fun with that.” High school turning point: “Definitely the start of junior year. All the IB kids had to step Cummings up their game at that point.” Most compelling issue facing students in your class: “The recession. It’s going to be harder for us to get jobs or go to college than it was for previous classes.” If you could change the world in one way, what would it be? “I would make men and women social and political equals in all cultures.” If you could change your high school in one way, what would it be? “I would get us some more money.

always pack my lunch, but in elementary school I loved nachos.” Favorite t e a c h e r : “Although I have had many amazing teachHart ers, Mrs. Kuzma has had such a great influence on me. She is the one that encouraged me to go into statistics.” Greatest inspiration: “My mom. I know in sounds cliché, but when I was in middle school, she decided to go back to college to be a teacher. I’m so proud of her for following her dreams while raising two children. Someday I wish I could be as awesome as her.” Where will you be in 10 years? “Hopefully, I’ll be a statistician, but if not, I hope to be working in a field that I enjoy. I don’t want to grow up to be one of those people that hates getting up and going to work everyday. What fun is that?” Most vivid high school memory: “For some reason, I can remember everything about my first day of high school extremely well. I was wearing a green, white and pink striped polo shirt with jean capris and pink flip flops. I have no idea why I remember this, but whenever I think back to freshman year, this is what I think of. I was so nervous that day.” High school turning point: “I

think my high school turning point occurred my senior year. I finally realized that my friends all like me for who I am and if they don’t, then they aren’t my friends. I also learned to accept people who are different than I am and think outside the box.” Most compelling issue facing students in your class: “I would have to say this would be the stereotyping that occurs in our school. We have small schools, which seems to make us really divided as a class. I wish all the students would realize that just because we go to different small schools, have different interests, and get different grades doesn’t make us all that different.” If you could change the world in one way, what would it be? “I think I would just like to make everyone more accepting of differences. Not that everyone would think the same way or always agree, but just realize that it is OK to be different. I think this might solve a lot of the problems in our world.” If you could change your high school in one way, what would it be? “I would like to make more opportunities for the arts at our high school. One of the small schools is a performing arts school, but it is at the other high school. Just because students at Amelia didn’t decide to go there doesn’t mean they don’t enjoy the arts.”

The students at The Goddard School in Amelia are learning about generosity and the value of helping others this summer while they study the United

States. Thus, the school is currently hosting a supply drive for the Cincinnati Ronald McDonald House in Avondale.

Some interesting things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned along the way

2) â&#x20AC;&#x153;The music of the spheres,â&#x20AC;? the Pythagorean metaphor that has inspired great composers throughout the ages, is no figment of human imagination.

As music critic John Rockwell commented, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who knew? All those philosophers and scientists and theoreticians who believed in the ancient Music of the Spheres were on to something. There is such a music, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the note B-flat.â&#x20AC;?

wear their baseball caps the wrong way round? asked someone wearing his peakforward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two reasons,â&#x20AC;? said Kipling â&#x20AC;Ś First, you need ask yourself what signals a male needs to transmit to a potential mate in order to advertise his suitability as a source of strong genetic material, more likely to survive than that of his competitor males. One answer is brute physical strength. Now, consider the baseball cap. Worn in the traditional style it offer protection against the sun and also the gaze of aggressive competitors. By turning the cap around, the male is signaling that he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need this protection: he is tough enough to face the elements and the gaze of any who might threaten him. Second, inverting the cap is a gesture of non-conformity. Primates live in highly ordered social structures.

Playing by the rules is considered essential. Turning the cap around shows that the male is above the rules that constrain his competitors, and again signals that he has a superior strength. Julian Baggini â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Pig That Wants To Be Eatenâ&#x20AC;? 4) For the first time in human history belief in God has become implausible in Western civilization, and to the very same extent it had been plausible for earlier generations. As a result, the religious believer is in a defensive position. He knows his belief will be challenged and that if this happens, he will have to explain himself either in

religious terms that more often than not irritate the other rather than enlighten him, or in secular terms that are not adequate for expressing transcendence. Therefore, you may expect people to draw back from talking about their religion and their spirituality, and to be afraid of encountering incomprehension if not down right rejection. Agneta Schreurs â&#x20AC;&#x153;Psychotherapy and Spiritualityâ&#x20AC;? 5) If spirituality has any single benchmark it is naturalness. Another seems to be the slow but steady erosion of self-consciousness. Marsha Sinetar â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Way Without Wordsâ&#x20AC;?

When I go out to the garden to pick peppers, I think of Nell Wilson, along with my sisters Sonia Ervin, Christine Lawson and Edith Hartwell. Nell is Ron Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom. Ron is our gardening columnist and I met Nell years ago when I was a guest on Ronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radio show. Nellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pickled pepper recipe is one of the best. Sonia, Christine and Edith were the first of my sisters to learn to make pickled peppers from my mom. Mom made big batches of everything. Nellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version is for smaller batches, which are more doable for most of you. Even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never canned, I hope you try a batch. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be glad you did when you compare the price of pickled peppers with home canned. The bonus is they make great gifts from the kitchen, and you know exactly whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in them.

Nell Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous pickled peppers

*I make this with a mixture of mostly hot peppers. I usually donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t add 2 cups sugar; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start out with half a cup, taste the brine, and

go from t h e r e . (Someone told me you could also use Splenda). If you h a v e Rita extremely Heikenfeld hot pepRitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen p e r s , though, the 2 cups of sugar is not too much. My sister, Christine, makes my momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big batch version of these and uses no sugar at all so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to you. As far as the yield, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember! It depends on the size of the peppers, whether you use quart or pint jars, etc.

Sterilizing jars

Wash canning jars and lids, then put jars in a big pan, covered with water. Bring to a boil and boil 15 minutes. (If your dishwasher is hot enough, use that to sterilize the jars). Keep in hot water until youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to fill.

Brine

6 cups clear vinegar, 5 percent acidity 2 cups water 1 â &#x201E;2 to 2 cups sugar (see

Prepare peppers

COURTESY RITA HEIKENFELD

Wash. Leave whole with a slit down the center, or cut into slices as desired. I like to remove seeds if I slice them, but this is optional. Remember the membrane that the seeds are attached to is the hottest part of the pepper, and the seeds are the second hottest part. Place peppers in sterilized, hot jars, packing tightly. Pour boiling brine over, covering peppers. Add seasonings, such as garlic, bay leaf, herbs, etc. or leave plain. Wipe rims with wet cloth. Put lids on. No need to process these as the vinegar keeps bacteria out. Jars will seal on their own â&#x20AC;&#x201C; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hear little â&#x20AC;&#x153;pingsâ&#x20AC;? as the seal completes. Any that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seal just put in fridge. Chill in

Kudos to Union Township Fire Chief Stan Deimling. He is an outstanding public servant who is under recognized for his dedication to Union Township. Under his leadership, the UT Fire Department earned accreditation by the Commission on Fire Accreditation International and also maintains an excellent rating by the Insurance Services Offices. On a personal note, Chief Deimling made arrangements to care for my infant daughter during a medical emergency until I arrived home. All worked out well. It was comforting to know that he was on the scene. Additionally, I’ve also found Chief Deimling to be most professional and personable. Although he was busy working with parents and children at the recent National Night Out event, Chief Deimling took the time to explain to me the various options for organizing fire districts. He outlined the advantages, disadvantages, financial, and political impact of potential changes. Chief Deimling is clearly one of Union Township’s best assets. His wealth of knowledge, high energy

What are your favorite and least favorite memories from your school days? “My favorite and least favorite memories of school will be shared next week at Amelia’s 45th high school reunion. The dusty yearbook is never near-right and due to my age or whatever, a few less seats will be occupied at our reunion. “Personally and back then as a transfer for Withrow to Amelia – school was just great in sharing with my ‘first serious girl’ all the times in school activities, living for the moment, finding a haven of sorts in Witham Woods and looking forward to the weekends. “Least favorite memories include sitting in government class in November of 1963 and hearing over the school PA system that our president was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. “Also of memories back then was a paper required of a troubled country and of our early involvement. The country was Vietnam. I eventually went on to participate at the expense of higher education. I don’t remember my grade on the assignment, but I know the assignment to Vietnam changed my life. “When I look back, school of our age deserved innocence and growth. So many were cut short at an early age regardless of my so many fortunate memories.” J.W. “One of my favorite memories from school was of our plane geometry class. The teacher was a soft-spoken, patient nun and she made learning the subject really fun. “Least favorite memory would have to be the day when two of my classmates conspired to go to another classroom before school started and bring back a guy with whom I had an argument the previous day. “I was totally surprised when I looked up from my desk and saw

Lois Brown Dale touched many lives

Lois Brown Dale, founding director of Clermont Senior Services, passed away Aug. 16, just 11 days shy of her 92nd birthday. With her passing we are changed, not because she has left us, but because she touched us. We are blessed that Lois spent most of her adult life in Clermont County. When Lois arrived in Clermont County with James Brown, her first husband and the love of her life, they settled in the Withamsville area and set about the task of raising their three young children. But Lois was not one to sit by and watch others serve as community volunteers. She soon became engaged in the PTA and other school activities, and participated in the women’s clubs of the day, almost always being asked to serve in leadership roles which came to her naturally. Before long Lois found herself engaged in the broader community. She helped organize the Clermont County chapter of the League of Women Voters and served as its first president. She helped establish the public library system in Clermont County, and served as an advocate of programs for the developmentally disabled. Of course, she will be remembered most for her work on behalf of senior citizens. In 1969, Lois secured a modest grant from the Administration on Aging in Washington, D.C., to open several senior centers in Clermont County. From this humble beginning, Lois created Clermont Senior Services. Within a few short years Clermont Senior Services was widely recognized as a model for the delivery of community-based services to help frail older adults maintain their independence and continue enjoying the comfort of their own homes. Lois was instrumental in bringing United Way funding to Clermont County, not only for Senior Services but for other programs as well. Over the years she wore a path to and from Columbus to bring state and federal dollars back to Clermont County to sup-

port a multitude of programs, ranging from youth employment to adult protective services. The list of her accomplishments is far too long to George record them all Brown here, but along the way others Community recognized her Press Guest a c h i e v e m e n t s . Columnist Lois was named Pacesetter of the Year by the Clermont Chamber of Commerce, and received the Cincinnati Enquirer’s Woman of the Year award. In the late 1970s, Lois took on what can be fairly described as her greatest challenge. She sat about the task of persuading Gov. James Rhodes and leaders in the state legislature to pass a bill that would permit local municipalities to place a property tax levy on the ballot to support services for older adults. Under Lois’ leadership, in November 1982 Clermont County passed Ohio’s first countywide senior services levy. Other counties soon followed Lois’ lead, and today 70 of Ohio’s 88 counties have countywide levies that generate more than $130 million annually to help care for frail older adults who have little or no family support to help meet their needs. Those who knew Lois best will be quick to tell you the gift of her life was not in the extraordinary deeds she accomplished but in the way she touched lives. Lois was a kind and gracious woman who could gently touch the life of a friend or an employee with just the right words to help guide them in their time of need. At the same time she was a fierce advocate who could “touch” politicians with an intensity in her words that would dare them to question the reasonableness of her position. Some, at times, may have disagreed with how she went about applying her touch in the affairs of the community, but none ques-

tioned the genuineness of her motives, which were always rooted in a compelling desire to improve the lives and circumstances of Dale others, especially those who could not speak for themselves. I realize some younger readers will not remember Lois. After serving as executive director of Clermont Senior Services for 22 years, she retired in 1991 and stepped away from public life. It was that stepping away that gave me the opportunity to serve as executive director of Clermont Senior Services for the past 18 years. Lois was a friend and mentor from the first day I met her in the spring of 1978. Over the years I’ve laughed, cried and marveled as I’ve listened to the stories of staff and friends in the community whose lives Lois touched. Many of the employees she hired 20 to 30 years ago still work at Clermont Senior Services, and all of us continue to be inspired by Lois’ dedication to “helping others help themselves,” which was the motto she lived by. Shortly after my arrival at Senior Services in 1991, I visited one of the senior centers and an older woman asked if I was Lois’ son, thinking this might be so because we share the same last name of Brown. “No,” I replied, “but it would be a great honor if I were.” I’m honored and blessed to be numbered among those whose lives Lois touched. A private graveside service was held by the family. Friends and colleagues are invited to an informal visitation with family members from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 27 (Lois’ 92nd birthday) at the Lois Brown Dale Friendship Center (west wing of the YMCA), 2075 James E. Sauls Sr. Drive (formerly Front Wheel Drive). George Brown is the executive director of Clermont Senior Services.

United Way to offer free 2010 tax prep Clermont County taxpayers will have an opportunity to have more cash to their names next tax season. This is thanks to a new site for United Way of Greater Cincinnati’s Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Initiative at the Workforce One of Clermont County (One Stop) location, 756 Old Ohio 74 in Mount Carmel, operated by the Clermont County Department of Job and Family Services. EITC is a federal tool that returns more money to hardworking, low-income taxpayers. This free opportunity is twofold. It helps qualified people not only get back their hard earned tax dollars – helping them achieve financial stability – it saves them from paying to have someone prepare their tax returns. In 2009, participating area taxpayers – including Clermont County residents – received a total

of $16,636,791 – a 71-percent increase in total refund dollars over the previous year. Participating families also s a v e d Debra $3,163,060 in Gordon fees associated with commercial Community preparation and Press guest rapid refund columnist a n t i c i p a t i o n loans. Of the thousands of families who received the assistance in 2009, 3,599 claimed the EITC.

Both organizations provide free tax preparation services to

Trojan playmakers to carry load By Mark Chalifoux

mchalifoux@communitypress.com

Glen Este High School’s football team went 5-5 in 2008 and head coach Zack Taylor said the Trojans expect to compete for a league title and for a playoff spot in 2009. “ T h e expectations are always Taylor high here and are the same every year,” Taylor said. “We have a young team but our

skill kids are much improved from last year.” Glen Este will rely on its stable of playmakers to make up for any inexperience and lack of size. The Trojans won’t be as big or strong as they were in 2008 as Glen Este graduated 29 seniors from that team. Glen Este will be a junior-dominated team, with only nine seniors on the Trojans’ roster. “We’re going to struggle to be as physical as we were last year, but we feel our skill kids have been better than in the past few years, and they can make some

The playmakers start with running backs Colin Pittman and Austin Duncanson. Duncanson ran for 721 yards and a team-best nine touchdowns in 2008. Pittman will also be a force at linebacker, along with Dan Shepherd, one of the team’s leading defensive players in 2008. Shane Seckman returns as the team’s quarterback and threw seven touchdown passes in 2008. “We’ve had outstanding senior leadership, but like anyone else, we have a lot of new starters,” Taylor said. “We are going to need to gel offensively and defensively, especially on the line, quickly.” Glen Este opens its season with a trio of tough non-conference games against Sycamore, Lakota

Taylor said it’s a tougher slate than most FAVC teams face, but it pays dividends later in the season. “If you stay healthy you’re definitely better off playing that schedule as it helped us against teams that played a softer schedule at the start of the season,” he said. “Our league is tough, though. We need to come to play every game.” Taylor said the team’s defensive philosophy may change slightly in 2009. He said there may be more tolerance for the defense to bend as long as it doesn’t break, and the offense will look the same as it has for years. “We play defense with our offense and control the football to keep the other team’s offense off the field,” Taylor said.

Lions’ seasoned ‘D’ ready to roar By Anthony Amorini

aamorini@communitypress.com

Dan Scholz’s favorite part about finishing at 7-3 last season was that no one in the New Richmond Lions’ program was satisfied. Beginning his third season at the helm, Scholz produced a 6-4 record in 2007 before improving to 7-3 in 2008. But one more win wasn’t enough to pacify the hungry Lions and Scholz hopes for continued improvement this fall. “We are working hard every day and doing the things it takes to be a good football program,” Scholz said. “We are really looking to continue to improve each day.” A host of starters return for New Richmond including seniors Brandon Branson, Brian Gelter, Brian Mazzaro, Andrew Nealan,

Mike Skaggs and Joe Smith. Juniors G a r r e t t Myers, Trent Turner and Austin WarScholz den are also returning starters. Gelter anchors the offensive line as a center and is flanked by Branson at guard. Smith also plays on the offensive line. In the backfield, Nealan plays at fullback with Myers toting the ball as a tailback. Mazzaro is a receiver. “We are very excited about our offense,” Scholz said. “The offensive line is looking good. We have experience at fullback and depth at tailback.” Tyler Williams, a 2009 New Richmond graduate, was a two-year starter at quarterback for the Lions. Skaggs will likely step in at quarterback though a position battle is on-going, Scholz said. “It’s significant because reading and running the option can take a while to learn,” Scholz said of the impact of Williams’ graduation. Defensively, Branson is a third-year starting nose guard. Warden returns as an outside linebacker. Skaggs, Mazzaro and Myers return in the secondary. Kevin Hamilton will also play a key role as a cornerback. “Experience allows you to play faster. I think we are

Amelia football adjusts to new coach By Mark Chalifoux

mchalifoux@communitypress.com

Getting everyone on the same page will be the first task for new Amelia High School head football coach Randy Hospelhorn. “The first thing was getting the coaches on board because everything was new to them and they had to learn it all and get it to the boys, so we’re taking

Stiles Hall baby steps and working our way to the goal,” he said. Hospelhorn said there’s so much to teach and not a lot of time to teach his sys-

tem to the boys before the season starts. He said the Barons have been working extremeHospelhorn ly hard. “They are putting in a lot of time and their attitudes have improved. Everything is falling into place now, and I’m pretty excited about it,” he said. Amelia should be led by a strong offensive line to fuel the power-style offense. Andrew Applegate, Bruce Stiles, Marc McDonald, Jacob Martin, Zach McGlone, B.J. Wright and Joel Beach will anchor the line duties for Amelia. Junior Tanner Owens inherits the quarterbacking role for the Barons and Brandon Cafferky will be one of the running backs. The defense will be led by linebacker Brandon Hall. Ricky Ennis, Zac Hultz, Cody Burris and Aaron Motley will also be key players for the defense. Hospelhorn said the team has been coming together well and is very supportive.

The team has a tough FAVC schedule but Hospelhorn said Amelia is a team that will never give up. “Fans can expect a disciplined team that will play to the end no matter what,” he said. “We refuse to quit and refuse to give up and we’ll keep fighting until the end.”

Bulldogs to rely on strong line By Anthony Amorini

MARK CHALIFOUX/STAFF

An experienced offensive line anchored by senior captain Jeff Elam has Batavia Bulldog head coach Ron Ogden thinking optimistically. Though Batavia finished at 2-8 in 2008, Ogden believes his team is capable of steam rolling past the .500 mark so long as the Bulldogs’ offense controls the line of scrimmage. Elam, a 215-pound tackle, is joined on the offensive line by fellow returning starters Dave Pelphrey, a 255-pound sophomore tackle, and junior center Eric Numrich. “We are going to be much improved over last year,” Ogden said. “If we could contend for a league title or the playoffs, that would be great. I think we have that kind of potential.” Ogden’s 2-8 season in 2008 was his second stint with Batavia. The Bulldogs won a league title and went to the playoffs in 2003 with Ogden at the helm and the coach is 12-18 overall at Batavia. The addition of senior John Foster, a 6-foot-3 tackle weighing in at 270 pounds, helps bolster the Bulldogs’ line on both offense and defense. Foster was a Batavia starter as a freshman and sophomore but didn’t play football as a junior. “He’s a player and he’ll help us right away,” Ogden said of Foster. “He was All League as a sophomore and as a freshman. He makes our offensive line that much stronger.”

Junior fullback Jake Prindle and senior tailback Cody Geer also return on offense for Batavia. Defensively, Elam returns to the line with Prindle returning as a linebacker to lead the Bulldogs. Sophomores Aaron Wood (strong safety) and Nick Bonivida (defensive

end) are also returning starters. A s i d e from Foster, freshman Gabe Archer (safety/split Wiederhold end) and sophomore Marcus Griffin (offensive, defensive line) will be key new additions for B a t a v i a , Elam Ogden said. “ W e aren’t deep so we have to avoid injuries.

McNick eyes winning season By Mark Chalifoux

mchalifoux@communitypress.com

The McNicholas Rockets went 3-7 in 2008 but head coach Steve Klonne said he expects McNick to get back to winning ways in 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have five starters returning on offense, w h i c h should make us a better team offensively and the senior Klonne class has done a nice job of filling spots on defense,â&#x20AC;? Klonne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team has a good attitude and they have some confidence.â&#x20AC;? The team will be led by junior quarterbacks/wide receivers Matt Staubach and Ryan Curran. Staubach threw for 814 yards and eight touchdowns in 2008. Ryan Haynes is one of the top returning running backs as Haynes put up 232 rushing yards in 2008, third-best on the team. Fullback/linebacker Pat Fitzgerald and tight end/linebacker Alex Hay are two more playmakers for McNick. The Rockets will run a wing-T offense with some option included and will play a 4-3 and a 4-4 defense. McNick has a tough schedule and will need to set a positive tone early.

Matt Staubach, the starting quarterback for McNicholas, throws a few passes Thursday, Aug. 13, during practice with the Rockets. The Rockets have tough games against Indian Hill, Turpin and Loveland to start the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can do well for those three games it would set the tone for the rest of the season,â&#x20AC;? Klonne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our schedule is really tough and most teams lose at least twice in league play so you try to take care of business somewhere else.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough schedule.â&#x20AC;? Klonne said the senior leadership is very important to the team, especially because every team has to deal with adversity at some point during the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether someone gets hurt or you lose a few tough games, adversity strikes somewhere and how you react will determine what kind of season you will

have,â&#x20AC;? he said. With more experience returning and with some bigger bodies on the line, the Rockets should be an improved squad in 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to play hard and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a better football team just because of our leadership and our senior and junior classes are better,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Co-head coaches lead Wildcats By Anthony Amorini

aamorini@communitypress.com

BRANDON SEVERN/ CONTRIBUTOR

Kyle Jeffers shows off his hands during an offensive drill for Williamsburg.

The Williamsburg Wildcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program finds itself in the unique situation of having co-head coaches for the 2009 football season. Trevor Foster and Scott Lefker share duties as head coach with both performing full-time jobs in the private sector. In fact, none of the Wildcat coaches teach or work at

the school but that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been a negative so far, Foster said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve both coached at Williamsburg in the past and our goal is to resurrect the program,â&#x20AC;? Foster said of his partnership with Lefker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to restore the tradition and pride. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Williamsburg was) always competitive in the past and we want to bring that mindset and toughness back to the program,â&#x20AC;? Fos-

ter added. Foster and Lefker are both Williamsburg alumni, graduating in 1992 and 1989, respectively. The pair were assistant coaches for the Wildcats in 2001 when Williamsburg last won a league title and qualified for the playoffs. The Wildcats last recorded a winning record in 2001 and finished at 2-8 in 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things are going great and we have a ton of Foster community support,â&#x20AC;? Foster said. Offensively, Williamsburg runs a variation of the pistol formation with senior Caleb Morgan taking the snaps at quarterback. Alongside Morgan, a number of skill players will lead the Wildcats including senior Marcus Varber (tailback/receiver), senior Kyle Proffitt (running back) and junior Cody Wiedeman (running back).

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

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.
