Hike-bike trail nears completion By John Seney

jseney@communitypress.com

A hike-bike path linking the Legendary Run Golf Course with Pierce Township Park is closer to completion. Pierce Township Administrator David Elmer

said the trail was part of the Planned Golf Community regulations when the Legendary Run development was approved in 1997. Most of the trails have been completed, but there are still a few sections that haven’t been built, including the section linking the golf course to the park.

Completion of the trail was slowed while easements were negotiated with the golf course owner and individual landowners. Elmer said the township is in the process of obtaining the final easements and work on the trail should begin soon.

New Richmond to name park after Rose Vesper By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

New Richmond will name a new park at Willow and Sycamore Streets after Rose Vesper, a former state representative from New Richmond. Mayor Ramona Carr said village council approved the name for the park Sept. 8. The park will be built on property acquired after the 1997 Ohio River flood. Village Administrator Dave Kennedy said grant money was obtained for the park and Mayor Ramona work is expected to Carr said begin in the village council next several approved the weeks. No dates name for the have been set park Sept. 8. yet for a The park will groundbreakor dedicabe built on ing tion. property The park will contain a acquired after walking path, the 1997 Ohio a playground River flood. area and a gazebo. Part of Willow Street will be closed to make the park bigger. Kennedy called the naming of the park after Vesper “a great move.” “She never forgot about us,” he said of Vesper’s service as a state representative. Vesper served as representative for the 72nd House district from 1993-2001. She stepped down because of term limits and then served for three years as the governor’s economic development representative from Southwestern Ohio. Dr. Lee Vesper, a New Richmond council member and Rose Vesper’s husband, said he was “surprised and delighted” by the council’s decision to name the park after his wife. He said she was very dedicated to her job as state legislator. “She got great joy out of serving her constituents,” he said. “Helping people was her joy in life.” Vesper said his wife retired from politics after serving in the economic development post.

Blue Ribbon school

When St. Veronica Principal Gina Code congratulated the school for winning the Blue Ribbon Award from the U.S. Department of Education, the students erupted into cheers, especially the sixth- and seventh-graders. The award means St. Veronica placed in the top 10 percent on national tests. For more about the award, see page A9.

St. Bernadette sets cornerstone It rained in March for the groundbreaking ceremony for the new St. Bernadette Catholic Church in Amelia, the Rev. Bill Stockelman said. Sunday, Sept. 20, it rained again as the cornerstone was placed for the church. However, construction work is on schedule and the new 9,400-square-foot structure should be ready for dedication Nov. 22. “It will probably rain that day,” Stockelman said. Brothers George Petri, 81, and Andrew Petri, 79, had the honor of placing the cornerstone for the church they have been members of since the parish was founded in 1944. The brothers were bricklayers and helped build some of the buildings on the St. Bernadette campus, including the school and parish office. The tradition of parishioners helping out continues with the new structure. Volunteers are helping build the new altar and other parts of the church. A large walnut tree that was cut down to make way for the new church was turned into lumber and used to make the cross atop the church.

UC Clermont expects to set enrollment record

John Rizzo, manager of the Eastgate Cancer Center, along with a number of employees, doctors and community members, cuts the grand re-opening ribbon at the center’s open house Thursday, Sept. 10.

Eastgate Cancer Center is convenient, state-of-the-art By Kellie Geist kgeist@communitypress.com

When someone with cancer is being treated with radiation, they typically visit the oncology office every day for one to nine weeks. That routine can get tiring pretty quick if you’re driving from Clermont County to downtown Cincinnati. But there’s a new, closer option. The Eastgate Cancer Center, located on the corner of Aicholtz Road and Eastgate Boulevard, is equipped with advanced radiation oncology technology and can treat many types of cancer. Vantage Oncology bought the Eastgate Cancer

Center three years ago. They held an open house Thursday, Sept. 10, to celebrate the center’s complete restructuring and new stateof-the-art technology. Vantage Oncology bought the center and brought in a lot of new equipment. We have a new CT Scan to aid in 3-D and IMRT (intensity modulated radiation therapy) which helps us plan a much better radiation treatment, said John Rizzo, the center manager. While the center is equipped to treat many types of cancer, one of things that makes it special is the new prostate brachytherapy (or seed implant) program.

“This is another form of radiation that allows us to have accelerated delivery of the radiation from within,” said Rizzo. “It gives us a better treatment option ... It’s more precise.” Rizzo said most patients can just ask their doctors to refer them to the Eastgate Cancer Center for treatment if that’s where they would like to go. Unlike many specialists, the Eastgate Cancer Center does not have a waiting list. The Eastgate Cancer Center is located in the surgery center building and across the street from the Bethesda Oncology Group. The location gives them close access to doctors who can assist with certain sur-

geries or administer medical oncology (like chemotherapy) if necessary. But the convenience and treatment aside, Pike said the Eastgate Cancer Center appeals to many patients because of the home-like feel. “Because we’re outpatient, it has more of a homey feel and our patients feel like a family. We get a lot of notes and presents from our patients. I think that family feeling is important for people who are going through something so hard,” Pike said. Patients or physicians who would like more information about the Eastgate Cancer Center can call 7528100.

UC Clermont College is preparing for its largest fall enrollment ever. Enrollment reports indicate a 15-percent increase for fall classes beginning Sept. 23. The new academic year brings plans to expand off campus to accommodate the needs of the swelling campus and new programs. The boom didn’t happen overnight, the college has been growing steadily – since 2000 enrollment has increased 48 percent. Last academic year alone, the enrollment increase was in the double-digits: Fall, 10 percent; spring, 12 percent and 18 percent for this summer – over the previous year. “The growth we’ve seen on campus is tremendous. More than ever – it means that we are vital resource for our community and partner in workforce development,” said Dean James F. McDonough. Currently, the college is seeking space in the nearby community to accommodate the expansion of the allied health programs. In addition, UC Clermont College hopes to build the next 50,000-square-foot building in the next few years. The college recently announced the addition of the physical therapist assistant degree that will be offered on campus beginning this fall. This new and highly competitive program has sparked a huge interest

from the community. “We’ve been consistently asked to offer this particular degree for years. Once the word started to leak out that we may be offering this degree, the interest list grew to over the 150 people,” said Sharman Wilmore, director of Allied Health at UC Clermont College. Originally offered on the UC Uptown Campus, the degree was officially transferred to the Clermont campus this spring as part of the restructuring within the university. The college is in the final stages of projecting a 10year master plan and it can’t come a moment too soon with Clermont College currently experiencing the largest space shortfall of any regional campus in the state (square-foot per student ratio), according to Mary Beth McGrew, associate vice president of planning, design and construction at UC. “Planning for the future requires an analysis of the past, acknowledgment of the present and thoughtful plans for the future. UC Clermont is doing just that in their master planning work,” said McGrew. With a few weeks left to go, the Enrollment and Student services Department is still accepting applications for fall classes.

The Pumpkin Run is held at the Clermont County Fairgrounds, 1000 Locust St. in Owensville. “It’s like a typical car show, but we draw anywhere from 2,800 to 3,000 cars and they are all 1970 and older,” said Dan Gavey, president of Fastiques Rod & Custom, the organization that puts on the Pumpkin Run. “We have people from Canada, Florida, California ... We get cars and spectators from all over,” he said. In addition to thousands of cars, the Pumpkin Run has a large vendor area, swap meet, Women’s World craft area, food and music. J.D. Hughes and the Avenues will perform at 8 p.m. Friday and Blue Stone Ivory will be at 8 p.m. Saturday. Also on Saturday, people who have registered their car for the show will be treated to a bean dinner. The car show will be separated into three areas: Ford Country, Mopar Country and Bowtie Country. “It’s set up like a show within a show,” Davey said.

The Pumpkin Run started 34 years ago and has pretty much grown to capacity since. “There is such a wide variety of cars. There will be street rods, customs, street machines, restored automobiles.” At 3 p.m. Sunday, 125 trophies and the grand prize, a “rolling package” replica of a 1934 Ford 3 Window Coupe, will be awarded. The coupe includes the body, transmission, engine, wheels and tires. Gavey said some spectators come for the Split the Pot, which for the last two years has been more than $10,000. The Pumpkin Run started 34 years ago and has pretty much grown to capacity since. “The show has grown to the point where it is now and there’s really no more space to grow at the fairgrounds,” said Frank Witt.

Union Twp. hires new assistant By Kellie Geist kgeist@communitypress.com

When Martha Brown, a long-time employee of Union Township, retired from her position as executive assistant, township Administrator David Duckworth starting looking for a replacement. He received 850 applications for the job. “It ran the gamut. I got applications from attorneys, accountants, nurses, they were all over,” Duckworth said. He said the township might have received so many applications partially because of how résumés that are posted on Career Builder are automatically sent to employers based on keywords. Regardless, Duckworth spent the last few months weeding through résumees and letters trying to find someone to fill the executive assistant position. “I narrowed it down to 50 applicants, then I cut that in half to 25, and then I cut

the 25 to 12,” Duckworth said. “When I called those 12, nine still expressed interest in the job.” After two rounds of interviews, Heather Magdich was selected for the job. Magdich grew up in the Bethel area and attended school in Williamsburg. She graduated with a two-year degree from the University of Cincinnati’s Clermont campus and finished her bachelor’s degree in marketing at Northern Kentucky University. She most recently served as the assistant to the vice president at Cinco Corp. In her new role as executive assistant with Union Township, Magdich will be assisting Duckworth and Assistant Township Administrator Corey Wright with every day duties. She also will be serving as the township’s human resources representative. “I’m excited. I think the position is going to be a challenging and fulfilling position,” Magdich said.

St. Veronica wins Blue Ribbon By Kellie Geist

kgeist@communitypress.com

Pretty much everyone at St. Veronica School will tell you how awesome their school is, but now they can back that with a national award. The U.S. Department of Education has given St. Veronica a 2009 National Blue Ribbon Award. St. Veronica was recognized because the students placed in the top 10percent on national tests and continually rank in the top 40 percent among private schools. “This is years in the making,”

said St. Veronica Principal Gina Code. “When our school is recognized for our wonderful academics, it allows the community to get a glimpse of what goes on here.” Code found out about the award Tuesday, Sept. 15, through an e-mail from the U.S. Department of Education. She announced the award to the school and sent letters home to parents that afternoon. Then Wednesday, Sept. 16, the school held an assembly to celebrate. During the assembly, Code talked to the kids about what it means to be a Blue Ribbon school

St. Veronica Principal Gina Code talked to the students about the Blue Ribbon Award during an assembly Wednesday, Sept. 16. To celebrate winning the award, all the students were given blue T-shirts and were treated to blue ice cream at lunch. and thanked the school and parish staff, parents, teachers and students. She also told the kids they could all have blue ice cream at lunch. “This has been well deserved for many years ... I am absolutely blessed to be part of such a wonderful school,” Code said. “And St. Veronica students – you rock.” This is the first year St. Veronica was eligible to apply for the Blue Ribbon Award because, last year, they added a Spanish program. The school had to offer that program because they teach seventh- and eighth-graders.

The only other school in Southwest Ohio to win a Blue Ribbon Award was St. Michael School in Sharonville. Kindergarten through eighthgrade computer teacher Becky Vontsolos spearheaded putting the application together, but she had help from a number of other teachers. “I’m so excited about the Blue Ribbon award and that we won on our first attempt,” Vontsolos said. “The kids and the staff here are amazing. It’s great to be recognized for the things we do every day. That’s just awesome.”

But the teachers and staff aren’t the only ones excited about the award. During the assembly, the screams of joy literally rattled the bleachers in the gym. “It’s pretty exciting. Everyone worked really hard to get good grades and so we could be recognized as a good school,” said Megan Niebuhr, an eighth-grader. “I think this will be a good thing for our futures, to be able to say I’m from a good school and I’m well educated.” “We’re all excited to be a part of this great school,” said Niebuhr, of Union Township.

Batavia teachers learn to think globally By John Seney

Four teachers from Batavia Middle School got insight into the possibilities of education on a global scale at a recent three-day workshop. The 2009 Global Institute held at Kent State University was

intended to provide about 100 teachers from throughout the state with a broader view of how they can connect their students with classrooms and experts around the world. Attending from Batavia were T.J. Glassmeyer, Holly Adomitis, Anita Cash and Chris Pruitt. They talked about what they learned at the

Batavia Local School District Board of Education meeting Aug. 17. Pruitt said teachers need to encourage students to see beyond their community by trying “to help our students become global thinkers. The rest of the world is not sitting still.” He said the latest technology can be used to communicate with

to become more involved in global communications. “I think it’s wonderful to see how other parts of the world operate,” he said. The Global Institute is a partnership among the Ohio State University, Kent State University, the Ohio Department of Education and the Ohio Geographic Alliance.

Taylor gets 100th win over Amelia McNick 17, Chaminade 16

By Mark Chalifoux

mchalifoux@communitypress.com

For Glen Este head coach Zak Taylor, win 100 of his career could’ve come earlier in the season as the Trojans have lost two overtime games. He finally reached the milestone against a former Glen Este assistant, Amelia head coach Randy Hospelhorn. “I just think about how many players and assistant coaches and people went into reaching that number,” Taylor said. “I was at Bethel for nine years so Bethel kids are involved and we’ve had a good run here. Just a lot of great kids and great coaches helped get me here. It’s really special.” While the milestone was a major one for Taylor, the product on the field from his team was less impressive. The Trojans ground out a 28-0 win Sept. 18 over Amelia, mainly on the strength of the defense. “The defense played lights out and that was the key. The defense has been playing really well and we have some really good skill kids,” Taylor said. Glen Este (2-2) has another difficult challenge on the horizon in the form of Northwest (3-1) at home Sept. 25. The defense will face a stiff challenge from Northwest fullback Preston Brown and Taylor said he wants to see some improvement on the offensive side of the ball before the Northwest game. “We need to improve up front; our offensive line is struggling,” Taylor said. “We also have to get our quarterback to calm down. He’s been a little rattled so we have to get him comfortable back there so he can make plays.” The Trojans have been led by several players, including standout running back Austin Duncanson and Dan Shepherd and Colin Pitman on defense. “They have been big leaders for us,” Taylor said. “Austin has been unbelievable all year.” While Glen Este’s performance against Amelia may not have been its best, Taylor said a big part of that is due to the coach across

the sidelines for that game. “We knew Randy would have those guys ready and he’s seen this offense every day for the last seven years, so we knew we weren’t going to surprise him,” Taylor said. “It was an emotional game and we just had to fight through it and make some adjustments to start moving the ball.” Amelia fell to 1-3 with its loss to Glen Este. The Barons travel to face Anderson (4-0) at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25. Now a Division I team, Anderson made back-toback appearances in the Division II state finals in 2007 and 2008 including a state championship in 2007.

New Richmond 47, Williamsburg 7

The Lions aim to start the season at 5-0 as New Richmond travels to face the struggling Clermont Northeastern Rockets (0-4) in week five at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25. Williamsburg fell to 1-3 with the loss and hosts Western Brown (2-2) in week five at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25.

Glen Este quarterback Shane Seckman tries to pass as Amelia lineman Aaron Robinson applies pressure. In week four, New Richmond kept its perfect season alive while improving to 40 with a victory over Williamsburg, 47-7. The Lions scored all 47 points in the first half. Senior Andrew Nealan scored a pair of touchdowns while gaining 111 yards on the ground to lead New Richmond against the Wildcats. New Richmond senior Mike Maupin had 106 yards on offense including a touchdown. Quarterback Garrett Meyers completed one touchdown pass and also rushed for a pair of scores. Brian Mazzaro was on the receiving end of Meyers’ week-four touchdown pass. Lion linebackers Andy Case and Danny Scholz finished with nine tackles each. Williamburg’s Caleb Morgan scored the only touch-

The Bulldogs leveled its record at 2-2 with its weekfour win over Clermont Northeastern, 21-20. Batavia senior Cody Geer scored two touchdowns for the Bulldogs against CNE while rushing for 75 yards on 19 carries. Junior Jake Prindle rushed for 45 yards on 12 carries including a crucial fourth-down conversion on a fourth-and-3 play with 1:30 left in the game. Aaron Wood, a sophomore linebacker, scored a touchdown for Batavia on a 48-yard interception return in the second quarter. A touchdown with three minutes left in the fourth quarter brought the game within one point. However, CNE went for the win on a two-point conversion and failed to convert. CNE dropped to 0-4 with the loss. Batavia travels to face West Carrollton in week five at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25, before the Bulldogs face New Richmond (4-0) in week six. New Richmond is ranked No. 4 in Cincinnati according to the Enquirer’s Division II-VI Coaches’ Poll for week four.

Almost halfway through the season, it’s tough to get an accurate read on the McNicholas football team. That’s because the Rockets play an extremely difficult schedule. “Our schedule is very tough. The problem with a team like ours is you can have a pretty good team and no one knows because you play teams bigger and better than you,” head coach Steve Klonne said. He said size and physicality were the two difference-makers against a big Division-II school in Turpin and Division I Loveland. “It doesn’t get much easier for us but we’re working to eke out six wins and have a winning season,” Klonne said. McNick is 2-2 through the first four games after beating a very good Chaminade team in overtime 17-16 Sept. 18. In the lone game they played against a team in their division, McNick won 28-21, on the strength of their rushing game. Quarterback Matt Staubach had four rushing touchdowns in the win. “We have a quarterback that runs the ball pretty well and we have a good rushing attack, we just have to find ways of getting more points on the board and getting more production,” Klonne said. Fullback Pat Fitzgerald is the other part of that rushing attack, as he picked up 240 yards through the first three games. “Really our problem is those two guys are productive but our slots and receivers aren’t involved very well and we need to get those guys in the mix to contribute more,” he said. Klonne said the team has done well at times putting drives together but that the offense still needed to manufacture more big plays. And, despite the difficult schedule, Klonne said his team plays everyone tough. “Don’t give up on us,” Klonne said. “We’re in a very tough conference and we play everybody hard. There’s still a lot of football left to play and we’re going to win some games.”

held them off,” Batavia head coach Bob Walker said. “The goal we gave up (against Bethel) was a set piece and that happens.” The Bulldogs only allowed three goals during its 5-0-2 start with both of its draws coming against ranked opponents. Madeira High School netted two goals against the Bulldogs during a 2-2 draw Sept. 10. Batavia and Mariemont finished in a scoreless draw, 0-0, early in the season Aug. 25. Batavia was ranked No. 7 in the Enquirer’s weekthree Coaches’ Poll for Division II. Mariemont was ranked No. 5 and Madeira was ranked No. 7 in the Division III poll for week three. “I felt like we had the

better part of the possession and better shot opportunities. To their credit, both results ended in a tie,” Bob said of the draws. Batavia hosts Indian Hill, ranked No. 10 in the Division II poll, at 7 p.m. Saturday Sept. 26. During the Bulldogs’ regular season finale, Batavia hosts Cincinnati’s No. 2 Division II squad from McNicholas High School at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15. “Playing outside our league is important to get recognition before the tournament,” Bob said. “I think we could potentially win out our schedule.” Defensively, Batavia’s standouts include senior keeper Nolan O’Brien, junior McClain Shepard, sophomore Timmy Knauer, junior Luke Bradburn and senior

Tyler Osborne, Bob said. O’Brien has five shutouts this fall. Offensively, Matt Walker has 16 goals this fall followed closely by Will Walker’s total of 10 goals. Matt, a forward, is the Bulldogs’ all-time leading scorer with 60 career goals. Will, a midfielder, leads Batavia with eight assists. Junior midfielder Matt Smith has five assists with Matt Walker at four assists. Junior midfielder Chad Mole has also been crucial in the middle, Bob said. “It takes 11 guys on the field playing together,” Bob said. “When we put the ball out to (Mole and Smith) they are very good at getting it back to the middle. “We are a fun team to watch. It looks like good soccer,” Bob added.

Cougars sweep UCC Volleyfest The UC Clermont Cougars hosted the inaugural UCC Volleyfest on Sept. 5 and turned the event into a successful venture. The Cougars swept both of their matches 3-0 to run their overall record to 5-1 on the season. UC Clermont opened play with Ohio UniversityLancaster – one of the top programs in the East Division of the Ohio Regional Campus Conference (ORCC) and a team they had not faced in several years. “This match was added to the schedule to help gage where the Cougars stand in relation to the other half of the ORCC and to provide a good early test,” said Head Coach Joe Harpring. UC Clermont used strong net and floor defense to take the first two games 25-13 and 25-16. OU-Lancaster rebounded with some outstanding defense and hustle of their own to make game

BRIEFLY Amelia athletic club moves

Amelia Youth Athletic Club (youth football and cheerleading non-profit organization), which started in 1998, played and practiced behind Amelia Elementary. During the early years, AYAC had about 100 football players and 40 cheerleaders. But now, AYAC has grown to more than 250 football players and 80 cheerleaders. In 2007, the bond issue passed that would allow Amelia Elementary to be replaced with a new state-ofthe-art school right where the football field was located. With support from the West Clermont Local School District, AYAC found a new home on the Amelia High School campus. It took several months of hard work and dedication to work out all the details and physically move to the Amelia High School campus for AYAC, but Dr. Brooks, Mr. Dyer, Mr. Hickman and Mr. Collins were determined to make sure these young athletes had a place to call home.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Re-elect Batchler

Bonnie Batchler should be reelected trustee of Pierce Township and here are some reasons why. She possesses an unrivaled commitment to advance the quality of life for the residents of Pierce Township. She has worked tirelessly to ensure adequate fire and

safety staffing and equipment. She secured funding for sorely needed playground equipment. She took the lead to raise private donations for our canine police officer’s safety vest. She was the central figure in obtaining donated trees for our park and cemetery. Additionally, in the past she

served as the EMS assistant chief for our volunteer fire department, served on the board of zoning appeals and graduated from the Clermont 20/20 Lead Clermont program. Her corporate background as a financial analyst helped her make fiscally-responsible decisions regarding the town-

ship’s finances. Bonnie has voted her conscience on numerous issues during her tenure as trustee, sometimes at odds with her fellow board members, but she has always voted with the best interest of township residents in mind. Vote for the most qualified can-

didate who has the best track record that will sustain our township’s growth, safety and financial integrity. Vote for Bonnie Batchler Nov. 3. Carryl Crump Locust Corner Road Pierce Township

Learn signs of preventable teen suicide

PROVIDED.

Mia Supe participated with the Cincinnati Tea Party organization as they marched on Washington Sept. 12 with other from across the country.

It is not about Republicans or Democrats On Saturday Sept. 12, I had the remarkable privilege of being a part of a historical march on Washington. I had spent the month before scraping together my dollars determined to get to D.C. The 12-hour bus ride with the Cincinnati Tea Party was quite an inspiration to me and my friend Beth Benoit of Amelia. I have always had a keen interest in our government because of my family having so many military ties. Like a great number of others in our country, Beth has been recently awakened to the importance of knowing what is happening behind the curtain of Oz. What we both experienced Saturday, Sept. 12, was life changing. We stood shoulder to shoulder with patriots from all across this nation. A melting pot of redblooded Americans, young and old, held their heads high and stormed the nation’s capital. These were not seasoned protesters. Many have never even considered participating in a such an event as this. Unlike many of those who came before them, who often were seen shouting profanities, turning over garbage cans or heckling the police officers. These demonstrators marched with a passion I have never seen before. I witnessed a spirit of patriotism, determination and a laser focus on changing the direction of our U.S. government. They were demanding to be heard. I saw people opening crowded pathways for seniors to get by in their wheelchairs. Young parents pushed their strollers and carried their little ones hoping they too might be a part of history. A mother sat with her severely handicapped child stretched across her lap as thousands stood around

her. Folks shook the hands of policemen as they marched by thanking them for their service. Personally, I did not hear a single swear word the entire day. Citizens thanked each other for coming out and encouraged the movement to go on. I even saw garbage being picked up as people left the event. It was an attitude of consideration, respect and unity for one another throughout the day. It wasn’t about Republicans or Democrats, Left or Right. It was about hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people, possibly a million, coming together to share what they learned as they diligently peeled back the underbelly of their government; not simply depending on the mainstream media, but digging through the Internet, cable television and other media venues to search for the truth. These people were informed. The folks want to know who is running their government and where all the money is going. No longer are so many American’s burying their heads in the sand. This was a day for us to make our Founding Fathers proud. The Constitution is the thread that has kept this great country united and strong since it’s beginning. As we marched down Pennsylvania Avenue we read lines from this magnificent document etched in the sides of the massive buildings. It was at that moment I truly found reassurance in our efforts. A peaceful revolution was rising up. We are all Americans who need to be informed voters. Please take the time to learn about issues and about our leaders no matter what your political party. Mia Supe lives on Holman Road in Williamsburg.

This week’s chatroom question What new or returning fall TV show are you most looking forward to watching? Why?

Every week The Community Journal asks readers a questions that they can reply to via e-mail. Send your answers to clermont@communitypress.com with “chatroom” in the subject line.

Maybe you’ve seen the statistics: Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the United States, with 33,000 occurring annually. More lives are lost to suicide each year than homicide, and a suicide occurs every 16 minutes. Suicide happens across all ethnic, economic and social groups. But the reality of suicide may not impact you unless you experience the loss of a family member, friend, neighbor or co-worker. The suicide of a young person is often even harder to understand and coping with the loss more difficult. Suicide now ranks as the second leading cause of death for youth aged 15-24 and the fourth leading cause of death for 10-14 year olds. These facts demonstrate suicides among our youth are more common than you may think, and that is true in Clermont County as well. Why teens with their whole life ahead of them decide to kill themselves is a question that haunts parents, friends, teachers and the community. Many adolescent suicides are precipitated by an interpersonal conflict or problem and overwhelming hopelessness, and most occur after school hours and in the teen’s home, but the reasons behind a teen’s suicide or attempt can be complex. Teens who have survived suicide attempts say they were either trying to escape a situation that seemed impossible to deal with at that time or their feelings of rejection, guilt, anger or extreme sadness. It’s difficult to be a teen today. Teens need to fit in socially, perform academically, act responsibly, and live up to all the expectations of them, along with developing their identities and a sense

of autonomy while following the rules. These pressures are very real to them and often overwhelming. Teens rely on support from family, Karen peers, extracuractivities Scherra ricular and even reliCommunity gious groups. Press guest These supports columnist can help them address their frustrations and insecurities. Unfortunately, some teens either don’t have adequate supports or are unable to believe in and trust the strength of supports they have. Sometimes, through a combination of factors and problems, teens begin thinking about dying and suicide. Suicide is preventable, and a key element in preventing teen suicide is recognizing warning signs and issues that trigger suicidal thoughts and feelings and provide help and support. Some things to look for include: Disinterest in favorite activities or hobbies; problems at a job; loss of interest in school or declining grades; behavioral problems; withdrawing from family and friends; sleep changes; use of alcohol or drugs; risk-taking behaviors; neglecting personal appearance; inability to concentrate and pay attention; change in eating habits; giving away prized possessions; and frequent complaints of physical symptoms like headaches and stomachaches. Teen suicide often occurs following a stressful event like a failure at school, a breakup with a boyfriend or girlfriend, the death of a loved one, or a major family

Johnson asks Union Twp. for support My name is Cliff Johnson. I am running for Union Township trustee and I am asking for your support. In 2005, I decided to run for trustee for the purpose of bringing unbiased representation to the residents. I know that the residents are kept uninformed or even misled on the issues of our township. In that election I came in fourth out of five candidates. I ran again in 2007 and raised many issues. It was the most covered race in the city. My campaign issues were in local print media and the television news more than any other campaign. I also lost that race, but by the smallest of margins. I needed around 180 people out of 5,000 to win the seat. Now it is 2009 and we keep exposing issues that matter to the public. Here is a small list of things that my supporters and I have changed: • Nepotism policy – it has been a campaign issue of mine since 2005 and was finally adopted. • Police K-9 unit – an issue since 2005 and was adopted in 2008.

• Dog parks – an issue since 2005. We now have one and will have a second soon. • EMS cost recovery – we now charge Cliff Johnson non-residents’ comCommunity insurance panies for the Press guest benefits that golumnist they promise. • Exposed bad contract of a former administrator who had benefits that would make a CEO jealous. We now have a fair contract with our current administrator. • Supported a wrongfully fired firefighter, who has since returned to work with back pay. These were all deemed poorly thought out issues by the incumbents while opposing me in the election, but have since been adopted. Imagine the progress we can make when I’m elected this fall. Here are a few of the current issues that I am campaigning for this fall: • Develop a citizen’s based

conflict. A teen thinking of suicide might talk about death or suicide in general, or about “going away” or not having a reason to live, and also about feeling hopeless. Teens also may be influenced by either someone they know or hear about in the media completing suicide. What should you do if someone your teen knows has attempted or committed suicide? Talk with the teen and ask him/her what he/she is feeling. Often, people are afraid or uncomfortable talking about this. Don’t be afraid to say the word “suicide,” because discussing the subject may help teenagers express their emotions. They may feel guilty or angry or just upset and sad; they may not even know how they feel. They do need to feel connected to others. They also need to hear that problems, no matter how difficult they seem, can be worked out. Convey your willingness to help. Don’t minimize their emotions and concerns. If you suspect a teen you know is thinking about suicide, get professional help. Locally, you can contact Child Focus (752-1555), the Mental Health and Recovery Board (7325400), or check with your family doctor or insurance company for other resources. Clermont County has a 24/7 Crisis Hotline (528SAVE) that you can contact for assistance or suggest your teen call. Remember, even if a teen close to you seems to be giving up, there are available supports and resources to help them deal with their despair and move on to adulthood. Karen J. Scherra is the executive director of the Clermont County Mental Health and Recovery Board.

committee to help with decisions on large projects. • Enforce sound budgeting for the police and fire departments (no more toys) i.e. the Hummer. • Acquire much needed tactical equipment needed for the police department through government grants and/or military grants. • Acquire mobile data terminals (MDTs) for police and fire apparatus for better communication and cut costs over the long term. This can be done with a government grant. We have the only police and fire trucks in the area without this. • Work and build a relationship with the Clermont County Visitors Bureau to make better use of our parks by hosting one or two large soccer tournaments a year to help support local hotels and restaurants giving a boost to our economy. • Build a working relationship with our police and fire department’s unions, which are currently busted. I am asking for your support to help make a change in our community. Thank you. Cliff Johnson lives on Village Glen in Batavia. Visit votecliffjohnson.com.

Life

When two people marry, one of the greatest mysteries of life is gradually demystified before their eyes. For when we marry, love itself comes to live with us. As children we learned there was something called love. Parents, older siblings, schoolmates, songs and movies spoke of it. Often they seemed to imply that love actually was sexuality. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand. Yet, since we were old enough to know love existed, and then soon felt its attraction and enchantment we looked for love, too. After many futile relationships, heartaches, and years of searching, we believed we found true love with a special person. It must be true love, we thought, because of the thrilling way it made us feel. We were in love! Our wedding was beautiful, our honeymoon was spent somewhere with our bodies in each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arms, and then we moved into a little home of our own. When we moved in, love moved in with us - though we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize all its intentions. One day we were amazed when love took off its clothes, stretched out on our bed while eating an apple, and announced it was here to stay. Suddenly, this elusive and mysterious thing called love was not so elusive or hidden. Rather, it became that which cannot be gotten rid of (unless we made the decision to throw it out.) What was glamorous and exciting and sexy now has its days when it is anything but all that. What was a dream is now here and asking daily to be listened to. In â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Mystery of Mar-

riage,â&#x20AC;? author M i k e M a s o n n o t e s , â&#x20AC;&#x153;The situation with love, now that one is Father Lou m a r r i e d , Guntzelman b e c o m e s Perspectives comparable to the philosophical question about the dog chasing the car - â&#x20AC;&#x153;What happens if he catches it?â&#x20AC;? Marriage faces spouses with the same question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What do you do with love once you have finally caught it?â&#x20AC;? In a sense, he opines, marriage is a trap. A trap to get us to be brave enough to live with love day after day and to learn what love really is. For God knows, we misunderstand love. Spouses quickly become surprised to find out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underneath loveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charming exterior, and to know it when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stark naked and demystified. As Mason notes, over the years love sometimes pulls the rug out from under us, turns the world upside down, or throws a pail of cold water in our faces and says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learned about me yet!â&#x20AC;? It demands the very best we can offer. And at other times that are just glorious, love teaches us it is the most exquisite thing in the world. When love is demystified and lives with us in the ordinary of every day, it is bothersome at first. We can even become disappointed and disillusioned and start looking for the mystified version again. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all seduced at times by the French proverb, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only the beginnings of love are beautifulâ&#x20AC;?

Spouses quickly become surprised to find out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underneath loveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charming exterior, and to know it when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stark naked and demystified. But true love has its own purpose in being so demanding. Its purpose is to gradually transform us and turn us into genuine lovers. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it employs such drastic strategies: asking us to forgive over and over again; to be patient with each other and ourselves; to communicate instead of pouting or keeping a cool distance. Later in life, and especially in the next, love will take off its earthly mask and become further demystified. We will recognize that, as the scriptures say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;God is love,â&#x20AC;? and that all along he was growing us and teaching us what true love means.

Get your hands on homemade foaming soap

The bonus? More suds with less soap!

Foaming hand soap:

The trick is in the dispenser. You have to use one made for foaming hand soap. I get mine from the dollar store, and after they’re empty I make my own as follows: Wash dispenser well. Rinse with clear vinegar. Rinse again and let drain. The vinegar helps kill any

Make your soap:

1 1⁄ 3 cups good Rita q u a l i t y Heikenfeld water to 6 Rita’s kitchen t a b l e spoons or so of favorite liquid hand soap. Anti-bacterial or not – you choose. I use a clear liquid soap and let the kids color it slightly with food coloring and add a few drops essential oil (available from health food stores) to it. Both the coloring and oil are optional. Use a whisk to mix gently. Let sit a few minutes to settle, then pour into your container. Violà! Your own foaming hand soap.

Foaming dishwashing soap:

And while you’re at it, go ahead and make a batch of foaming dishwashing detergent. Again, use a dispenser specifically made for this. Follow instructions above for cleaning, etc. The proportions are a bit

different: 11⁄3 cups good quality water to 6 to 8 tablespoons dishwashing liquid (start with 6, check to see how it’s working, and add more if needed), plus 2 tablespoons clear vinegar (optional) to cut the grease.

Cake tips from Martha

Cream puff fillings

I’ve had several requests for cream puffs/fillings for Oktoberfest parties, similar to what Servatii’s serves. Use your favorite cream puff recipe (I have one on the Web version of this column). Here’s a couple different fillings. The first filling holds up better, meaning you can fill the puffs and refrigerate them at least several hours before serving; the second filling is more delicate and more creamy.

Fluffy cream puff filling:

This is also good in cream horns, Twinkie-like cakes, etc. Beat together: 1

⁄2 cup solid shortening like Crisco 2 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 ⁄2 cup confectioners’ sugar

COURTESY RITA HEIKENFELD

Foaming and other soaps made with my friend Carol Vanover. Then beat in 1 cup Fold in whipped topping. Fill cream puffs just before Marshmallow Fluff serving; replace tops. Dust with confectioners’ sugar.

Jane and Carolyn’s cream puff filling:

Jane Cervantes is known as the cake and truffle lady and Carolyn Grieme is a Northern Kentucky reader, known as the gingerbread house queen, and good friend. They both use this for their cream puffs. 11⁄2 cups cold milk 1 (3/4 ounce) package French vanilla pudding mix 1 cup whipped topping Confectioners’ sugar In a mixing bowl, beat milk and pudding mix on low speed for two minutes. Refrigerate for five minutes.

Tips from readers

From Mark A. regarding “parve” products. Mark says: “The definition of “parve” (or “pareve”) in your column was only half right. “Pareve foods are prepared without meat, milk, or their derivatives and may therefore be eaten with both meat and dairy dishes according to the laws of kashrut. “No dairy is correct, but no meat either. Meat can be sneaky; gelatin made from cattle hooves, for instance, is not pareve (probably not kosher either, but that’s

I’m taking a cake decorating class at Grant School in Clermont County. Martha Buckler is my teacher and she shared some valuable tips in last night’s class: • Bake cakes and quickbreads at 325 degrees and not at 350 degrees as most recipes state. You’ll have to bake them longer but the lower temperature allows them to bake all the way through to the middle without sinking. Especially true for very large cakes. • To smooth white or pastel color frosting, dip spatula in warm water and smooth over cake. Smooth top first, then sides. Don’t use on chocolate or deeply colored icing as this will leave streaks and spots. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is Macy’s certified culinary professional and family herbalist, an educator and author.

With the school year in full swing and flu season upon us, we’re all into the “wash your hands often” mode. I thought it would be good to share my recipe for homemade foaming soap. It’s actually been around a while but is sure timely today. Plus by making your own foaming soap, you’ll save money and be doing your part to be “green.” Let the kids help – they’ll have fun, and be more apt to wash their little hands if they’ve made their own soap.

By promoting civic engagement and developing individuals to think in a leadership perspective, Clermont County has expanded its capabili-

experiences in this trip to help the Methodist church in Vietnam grow, you may call them at 734-4334. Remember the Bethel Lions Club is sponsoring the Kinner Express concert at Burke Park Pavilion at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26. Come out and enjoy this good music. It is free and is a service of the Lions Club. Also at 2 p.m. Sunday afternoon Sept. 27 at the Old Bethel Methodist Church here in East Fork State Park, the Kinner Express will again favor us with their music. This is our homecoming, and anyone who has gone there in the past, or have relatives who did, or are buried in the cemetery there, we invite you to come out. We need more younger members to help keep this organization going. Start your week by going to the church of your choice and praise the Good Lord. God Bless All. More Later. George Rooks is a retired park ranger. Rooks served for 28 years with the last five as manager of East Fork State Park.

Last week’s clue.

wonderful. Last Sunday after church I asked Ruth Ann if she would like to go down to the Campbell’s Barn along Ohio 125 for dinner, the noon meal as we call it. Now I knew what the answer would be so that is where we ate. The food and service were wonderful. There was a big crowd there. They have a breakfast buffet and lots of folks were taking that and enjoying themselves. There were folks like us who had been to church. Ruth Ann has been busy here at home, so a change is good. She didn’t have to cook a meal. Now back up a little, last Saturday morning Ruth Ann said the refrigerator

didn’t sound right. Boy was she right. The automatic defrost heater went bad. Now the food in the fridge needed to be put someplace else, so the two $5 refrigerators we have in the garage were put to use. We called a feller who goes to our church and he came and got it. He called Monday evening and said he thinks he got it fixed. We learned this kind of refrigerator only will last 10 to 15 years. The old ones we have in the garage to keep produce in are old and are running real good. I thank the Good Lord we had them at this time. Now I kinda got the cart before the horse. Last Sunday evening we went to the New Harmony Church to hear the pastor speak about his trip to Vietnam. He was one of eight preachers that made the trip to help support the Methodist church, and help the preachers there learn more about helping their people. This was a wonderful evening and the program was great. If any of you folks would like to have Pastor Don Mundy come to your church to tell of his

Howdy folks, We were watching the agriculture program and they said the most popular snack is popcorn. I can agree to that. Here at our house we have popcorn about three times a week. Ruth Ann makes caramel popcorn a few times and it is sooooo good. There is a FFA chapter in another state that are raising catfish to sell. I imagine that would help the school budget and also educate the students how to make a living and produce food. We were at a family reunion last week for the Kinner family in Batavia and a feller had his beautiful dog Buddy Rue with him. He said the dog can eat 14 White Castle sandwiches in one minute. When this feller was feeding him popcorn, he said he would not eat it out of a bowl. Now I would say Buddy Rue is a little spoiled and that is OK. It is amazing how animals train us the way we do things for them. The other day while watching the news, I looked out the window and there

Glen Este church celebrates 25 years Glen Este Church of Christ is celebrating their 25th anniversary. Early in 1984, several families met to make preliminary plans to establish a church in the area. Some get-acquainted activities were held during the summer which lead to regular Wednesday Bible studies in the fall. The group decided to begin meeting for worship Sunday evenings at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Lorenzo. Bill Stauter served as our preacher. The first Sunday evening, 27 attended and 18 placed membership. They soon purchased the present property and converted a large garage into the first meeting

place. Sixty-one people attended the first morning service Dec. 2, 1984, with Joe Kearns preaching. He served both Glen Este and Batavia briefly, then became the first full-time minister in January 1985. Bruce Ross served as minister for seven years. Steve D. Henderson is the current preaching minister and Tim Lorenzo is associate minister. Because of continued growth, they completed a building program in October 2006, and now occupy the new building. The church has a new sanctuary that will seat more than 300 and has a new nursery and toddler area. The old sanctuary

is used for the fellowship area. They are now working on completing the lower level in the new building, which will have classrooms and a new fellowship hall. The 25th Anniversary Celebration will take place Oct. 9, Oct. 10 and Oct. 11, as follows: At 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 9; 9 a.m. breakfast and 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 10; and at the 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. services Sunday, Oct. 11.

BED AND BREAKFAST

The Doolin House Bed & Breakfast

FLORIDA

The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.
