in the bakery, and admired all the pretty Bon Bonerie – and other – confections (restraining myself from licking the glass) before we investigated the unusual and sometimes silly-looking produce (much joke-cracking was done in this section. I'll spare you the details). After a jaunt past the cheese cases and through the wine section, we decided we'd rather drink the wine, not just look at it, so we headed for the nearby Tasting Bar. At a quarter per one ounce sample or $1.50 for a 3-ounce taster of a big selection of beers and a nice wine list, this part of the date is a steal. But you won't see ﬂights on the menu, and the bar

One word was repeated over and over at Clermont Northeastern Middle School Jan. 18. “This is … this is just amazing,” Lori Diekmann said, her voice catching as she looked around the crowded cafeteria and gym at the school. Diekmann was one of the organizers of the spaghetti dinner fundraiser for 6-year-old Kinley Sexton and her family. Kinley was diagnosed last April with DIPG – Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma. Tests discovered a tumor on her brain stem. In the nine months since, community members have stood by the family’s side with a series of events, including a 5K run/walk and an event with bands and auction at Jimmy B’s Bar and Grill on Ohio Pike. Kinley’s father, Bryan Sexton, described the journey as “stressful and tiresome.” “It’s amazing. We’re very grateful. We appreciate it. It’s amazing the amount of … I don’t know what to tell you. She means the world to us, and it’s surreal to think that all of these people would take time out of their day to come help us as a family,” he said. Sheri Scott, Kinley’s grandmother, said the family has been on a “rollercoaster.” “From the time we find out, it was disbelief. Why us? What did we do? What did we not do? Then reality set in and it’s like, ‘OK, what do we have to do?’ And the whole thing is we just did it. No choice, so you just do it,” she said. “I know we had a great community, but to see people come together like this, it’s just really amazing,” Sheri Scott said. CNE Assistant Superintendent Wayne Johnson contacted community partners for everything from items for a silent auction, donations for basket raffles and contributions of food and drink. “Milford La Rosa’s took care of us. Loveland La Rosa’s gave us gift cards and baskets and other things. Loveland La Rosa’s gave us some baskets as well, but they kept calling us back, gave us spaghetti, gave us spaghetti sauce,” Johnson said. Several Kroger stores also provided needed items. “Everything is donated. We had people calling saying ‘We can do a sheet cake, or we can do this.’ Frisch’s gave us 10 pies. Coca Cola gave us 20 cases of soft drink. We had another in-

Jungle Jim’s is perfect for a date night; my mind has changed Andrea Reeves

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Who likes to grocery shop? It's a chore, right? I'm a freak and actually love it. But that's because I love food. I love strolling down the aisles, discovering weird, unique and new things to taste and take home to cook up creatively. I like prettily labeled things to display in my pantry and countertop. I love a rainbow of colors to unpack and place in my produce drawer to later chop up and mix and match to make delectable plant-based meals. But what if grocery shopping was as fun as going on a date? Better yet; what if it was the date? It can be. Ever hear of Jungle Jim's? I'm sure you have. That's where I recently tested my theory. It's a space full of sensory experiences, so if you're nervous and need to do something rather than sit and talk, there are a thousand things to pull out of your surroundings here. Want to grab a drink? That's here. Live music? Yes. Shopping? Duh. Dinner? That's here, too (so is the option of buying something interesting to take home and cook together, obviously). You can even grab a scavenger hunt when you get there and make your grocery shopping date even more interesting (we learned of this at the end of our date, so weren't able to participate). Bonus: You can pick up that cereal and bread you need, too.

Jungle Jim's has a bakery that pumps out fresh bread and treats.

We picked the Eastgate location because it contains the added bonus of Paradise Pavilion, a bar and lounge, which featured live music that evening, and started our adventure in the fascinating international section. After visiting some of the countries and poking around the you-can-onlyget-this-here imports, we landed in the hot sauce section, an endless supply of amusement. Seemingly thousands of hot sauces line shelf after shelf, and many of them have some outrageously amusing names. We spent some time giggling in this section before meandering deeper into the store. I'm temporarily on a restricted diet that allows for zero sugar, so I breathed

dividual give us 15 cases. We had another, Beechmont Ford, gave us 15 cases of soft drinks and 12 cases of water. Everywhere we went, it was just overwhelming. Nobody ever said no. “It’s just kind of an amazing community.” One-thousand tickets were printed for the dinner, and sold for $10 each. Johnson said 750 tickets were sold in advance, and a huge walkup crowd, which included Felicity fans coming for the boys basketball games that evening, raised the total far above what anyone expected. Donations are still coming in and being recorded and deposited at People’s Bank. “You look at Felicity coming in here, they came in, their kids put 10s and 20s in the donation barrel,” Johnson said. Members of Felicity’s team also put together a gift bag they presented to Kinley. David P. Lewis, of Lewis Auctioneers LLC in Batavia, ran the live auction. “Wayne Johnson called us the day before yesterday and asked if we would be so kind as to come over and help, and we graciously accepted,” Lewis, a CNE graduate and lifelong Clermont County resident who grew up in nearby Monterrey, said. “We’ve been doing this now 20 years, Lewis Auctioneers LLC, and we do a lot of beneﬁts. We do a lot of auctions. We like giving back to the community … Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, St. Louis School and charity events like that.” Described by those closest to her – her mother, Ashley Sexton, grandmother Sheri Scott and great-grandmother Betty Scott – as a “girly-girl,” Kinley continues to attend school and even baked and decorated a basket of cookies that were auctioned at the dinner. “She’s your typical 6-year-old little girl. She’s sassy. She’s full of life. She loves her animals. Loves her brothers.

Loves school. She’s just your typical 6year-old girl,” Ashley Sexton said. Bryan Sexton said his family has tried to live as normal a life as possible. “We’ve got more than one child, so it’s been a great thing. Everybody in the house has got to stay normal, right, so that’s one of our focuses. We’ve had the help of family and we’ve maintained normalcy, just coming and going, so it’s been a great thing,” he said. “The challenging part … mentally she’s great, but not being able to do some of the physical stuﬀ is frustrating for her. She’s sassy. She’s mean. She’ll

put you in your place. And she’s gone toe-to-toe with her brothers. It’s just like having another boy in the house. She’ll punch them square in the face if they need it. It’s kind of entertaining and funny.” Those brothers – Case, Colton and Kane – were among the hundreds, family, friends and others – who wore various shades of purple supporting Kinley. “That’s her favorite color,” Ashley Sexton said. Ashley designed one of the shirts, which features a shield and the words “Kinley” and “DIPG Warrior” with two crossed swords. Friends and family

isn't really set up for imbibers to sample a lot of diﬀerent drinks at once. We thought if they offered trays for the many tiny cups we ordered (we really had no idea what we were doing), it would make their job easier, but I can see why they don't. It probably gets ridiculously crowded with weekend grocery shoppers wanting to take the edge oﬀ. That being said, I don't recommend ordering more than a couple samples at a time while the bar is busy.

There are several tables scattered around the Tasting Bar to sit and enjoy some drinks, but no bar seating. Old airline seats, tray tables intact, also line a section of the wall. We quickly discovered there's more to do here than just grab a drink. A table scattered with board games and a few pinball machines are available for some extra fun.

sipped away on our pints before heading to Paradise Pavilion for some live music. The pavilion is set up in a garage, so smoking is permitted. If you've just raided the cigar shop, this is the perfect place to relax for a minute and try your new selection. More airline seats are here, too, as well as lots of tables and seating, so we once again staked out the airline seats and relaxed to enjoy some acoustic folk. When the live music ended, we headed back inside (you can leave your cart outside of the liquor department near the Paradise Pavilion entrance) and checked out the kombucha bar before heading home. This bar, too, oﬀers several samples at about a quarter. There's plenty more to do here that we didn't have time for, including dining at restaurants like Tikka Grill, Rincon Mexicano or Red Sesame and then hitting the amazing bakery or candy section afterward. Raiding the olive bar. Marveling at the unusual meats, such as sheep's heads and organ meats. Checking out the gag gift section just before cashing out. Cooking classes and beer, wine and liquor tastings are also regularly scheduled at Jungle Jim's. We only had a few hours, but a date to Jungle Jim's could last an entire rainy or way-toocold-outside Saturday.

Roll up something sweet for Valentine’s Day Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Good thing I’m short and have a good amount of “padding.” I had just gathered eggs and a wheelbarrow full of wood for the stove. This was when the temperature was in single digits. Well, I hit a patch of ice on the way back to the house. Down I went. The basket of eggs fell out of the wheelbarrow, along with some of the wood. No worries, I was ﬁne but was startled to see how quickly broken eggs could freeze. I eventually got everything back in order and was glad that enough eggs were saved to make a jelly roll for Valentine’s Day. Check out my abouteating.com site for step-by-step photos.

Can you help? Nalley’s French onion dip recipe clone I have requests for this recipe and somehow lost it. If you have it, please send to me and I’ll share it again. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator, Jungle Jim’s Eastgate culinary professional and author. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com. Email her at rita@com munitypress.com with “Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line.

Classic jelly roll Thought making a jelly roll was too tricky? Not so if you follow my step-by-step instructions. This is sometimes called a sponge roll. Ingredients 1 cup all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder ⁄4teaspoon salt

3 large eggs 1 cup granulated sugar ⁄3 cup water

2 teaspoons vanilla Confectioners’ sugar 1 generous cup or so favorite jam, jelly or preserves Instructions Preheat oven to 375. Preparing pan: Spray a jelly roll pan, approx. 15”x10 “x1”, and place a piece of parchment paper on top. Spray parchment paper.

Making a jelly roll isn’t too difficult with good instructions. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Blend flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Beat eggs until thick and lemon colored. This is important and will take a few minutes. Beat in granulated sugar gradually. Blend in water and vanilla. Slowly mix in dry ingredients just until batter is smooth. Pour into pan. Bake 10-12 minutes - cake is done when it will spring back lightly when pressed in center. Don’t over bake or cake will be hard to roll.

Finishing up: Spread with thin layer of jam. Roll again. Trim edges. (Those are for you!). Place seam side down on platter. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar. It’s even better the next day, after the jam has soaked into the cake a bit.

Rolling up:

Tip:

While cake is baking, sprinkle a towel with confectioners’ sugar.

“Oh no, my cake cracked!” It happens once in a while and means cake was over baked or was rolled too tightly. Not to worry, as long as you can roll it up. Confectioners’ sugar is a great culinary band aid - just add more to cover the cracks.

When cake is done, loosen edges and immediately turn upside down on towel. Remove paper. While cake is still hot, roll up on the long side into towel, using towel to nudge the cake along. (This initial rolling helps “shape” the roll). Don’t roll up too tightly as this could cause it to crack. Let cool 8-10 minutes. Unroll.

Brushing with liqueurs: Feel free to brush your cake with your favorite liqueur before spreading on the jam. Coordinate flavors and you’re good to go.

Police oﬃcer killed in crash: a family man, hard working Sheila Vilvens and Cameron Knight Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Friends are remembering BethelTate High School class of 2010 graduate and Clearcreek Township police oﬃcer Jerrid Lee as a devoted family man who always put others ﬁrst. Lee died Monday, Jan. 28 in a headon crash on Ohio 125 near LindaleMount Holly Road in Batavia Township, Clermont County. The man behind the wheel of the SUV that the Ohio State Highway Patrol said crossed the center line of Ohio 125 hitting Lee’s car head-on was Justin M. Watts, 31, of Cincinnati. Watts was arrested and charged with aggravated vehicular homicide, vehicular homicide, and vehicular manslaughter. He is being held in the Clermont County Jail on a $1 million bond, according to a court clerk. His next court date is Feb. 7 before Judge Jason Nagel. Lee, 27, was a class of 2010 graduate of Bethel-Tate High School and the Grant Career Center, according to the school. He was an MP in the Air Force

and married with two young children, said family friend Devin Ruck. “He was a really great guy,” Ruck said. “He was very devoted to his family and always put others before himself.” Doug Ayers, a welding instructor at Grant Career Center, remembered Lee as an “outstanding young man.”

BRIEFS CLERMONT COUNTY Clermont County’s new Veterans Hall of Fame inductees The Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame recently inducted two Clermont County men. Cliﬀord Riley and Ronald J. Hartman were two of 20 people inducted into the hall of fame’s class of 2018. Riley, 72, of Milford served in the U.S. Army from 1966 to 1969, two years of that in Vietnam. He worked in the insurance industry for 47 years, working mostly with veterans on beneﬁts. Riley actively lobbied for the Agent Orange Act of 1991. In 2016, his lobbying helped to pass the Toxic Exposure Research Act. Riley was instrumental in establishing the Clermont County Vietnam Veterans

“You just couldn’t ask for a better kid,” he said. “He was the kind of kid you would hope for your daughter to bring home for you to meet.” It’s a tremendous loss, Ayers said. And the crash is an example of how quickly and unexpectedly life can change, he added. Lee served in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, according to Clearcreek Township Police Sgt. Wally Stacy. He joined the Clearcreek Township Police Department in August of 2017 and was made full-time last January. “He just celebrated his one year anniversary here and his 27th birthday,” Stacy said. “He was one of our fine, young officers who was very hardworking and diligent in his duties in trying to keep the people of Clearcreek Township safe. He will be sorely missed.” The past eight months have been difficult for the police department, he said. About eight months ago Sgt. Larry Cornett died suddenly of a heart attack at his home. “We’re reeling from the loss,” Stacy said. “We are appreciative of all the comments from the law enforcement

Viewpoints Review contracts to avoid home improvement project woes Sandra Guile Guest Columnist Community Press

Home remodeling shows highlight the latest and greatest must-have features to update any living space. Homeowners attending remodeling expos should plan to listen to presenters and pick up contact information from potential contractors – not go in with the intent to hire someone on the spot. After returning from the show, sift through the information, select the top three potential candidates for the project, and research the business from a source such as bbb.org. Once a decision is made and it’s time sign a contract, there’s still a few more steps to take before taking pen to paper. First, the selected contractor should prove they’re bonded, insured, and licensed appropriately. During the bidding process, the business should present copies of all necessary certiﬁcations at the homeowner's request. Close attention should be given to the type of insurance carried by the contractor, and proper coverage should be outlined for anyone involved with the project - in-

Read through the contract carefully for the cancellation clause and what rights you have to stop the work. cluding subcontractors. While checking out the company, review the references presented from previous projects. Next, the contract must list the exact items needed for the project, all the way down to the speciﬁc quantity, size, price, and brand of the products the contractor plans to use. A proposed start and end date should be clearly listed, along with a payment schedule that includes the down payment – typically no more than 10 to 15 percent of the overall cost of the project. Homeowners should keep in mind, however, that start and end dates may change depending on unexpected delays during the project. Finally, homeowners are encouraged to ask if they are responsible for disposing of old appliances, cleaning up after demolition, and recycling any usable materials, or if these tasks fall under the services the con-

tractor covers. These details should be included in the contract along with any specifics as to how they will keep your home clean as demolition is taking place. Any stipulations the contractor states - including requests to board animals elsewhere during construction - must also be outlined in the contract. Although the process of setting up and moving forward with a remodeling project is long and involved, there should be an opportunity to opt out of the contract at any point if things aren’t working out as planned. Read through the contract carefully for the cancellation clause and what rights you have to stop the work. Anyone attending should enjoy the remodeling show and get some great ideas for their upcoming project, but they should make sure to check out any chosen contractors at bbb.org before getting started.

2001 McNick girls won state title Mark Schmetzer

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Featuring a roster that included more than one set of sisters, the 20002001 McNicholas girls basketball team was close – maybe too close. The Rockets, a Division II team that played a rugged schedule loaded with Division I opponents, finished the regular season with six losses and ranked only third in the Enquirer’s coaches poll. One of the reasons, Ashley Brothers recalls them figuring out in a lateseason team meeting, was that the sisters seemed to be favoring each other at the expense of making the play that was best for the situation. “I think we did jell as a team,” said Brothers, senior center Ashley Clark at the time and now a McNicholas math teacher. “We had a team session where we aired a lot of grievances. We had a lot of siblings. I think we had three sets of sisters, and some people had the feeling that sisters were passing only to sisters. Once we aired that out, we were able to move forward.” That’s putting it mildly. McNicholas, with a starting lineup that included three sophomores, reached a district championship game for the first time since the Ohio High School Athletic Association started sponsoring a girls basketball tournament in the 1975-1976 season. Coached by Rob Heise, the Rockets didn’t stop there. They beat Roger Bacon in that district final and went on to win four more games and capture the school’s first basketball state championship by either a boys or girls team in the girls' only appearance through last season at the state tournament.

One reason the Rockets did so well is they never thought about it, said Kendra Lonneman, who also teaches math at McNicholas. “For me, I just feel like I didn’t feel

pressured at all,” said Lonneman, senior guard Kendra Hornschemeier at the time. See MCNICK, Page 2B

Williamsburg's Jessica Chase vs. Felicity-Franklin With sister Alexis Chase sidelined for the season with a leg injury, Jessica Chase has led Williamsburg as the fourth-highest scorer in the Southern Buckeye Conference.

“I don’t think that was our goal at the beginning of the season,” Brothers said. “We didn’t talk about the tournament.” Lonneman led McNicholas with 14 points and the Rockets put together a 14-0 first-quarter run on the way to a 5439 win over the Spartans in the district title game at Mason High School. Sophomore point guard Betsey Clark, Ashley’s sister, scored a career-high 18 points and McNicholas, jump-started by a Trotwood Madison press that backfired, knocked off the Rams, 63-59, in a regional semifinal at Vandalia Butler High School. “We just finally got the momentum,” Betsey Clark told the Enquirer after that game. “When they put the press on, that made us run. When they were in a zone, we weren’t running that hard.” The Rockets faced similar pressure in the regional championship game against Dayton Dunbar, but with Betsey Clark sidelined with foul trouble, Heise turned the press-break duty over to Lonneman, who spent the night singlehandedly dribbling out of trouble while sophomore forward Lynn Oberschmidt was scoring a career-high 23 points, leading McNicholas to a 66-53 win. “I think they were trying to tire her out,” Heise said of Lonneman after the game. “Betsey missed almost the entire

first half with fouls, so we didn’t have the rotation, but (Lonneman) is tough as nails, and she’s in great shape. I think she’s the backbone of our team.” That win set up a state semifinal match at Ohio State University’s Schottenstein Center with defending statechampion Columbus Bishop Hartley, which finished the season ranked eighth in the Associated Press Division I statewide poll.

seventh state-tournament appearance and seeking its fourth championship. By then, the Rockets’ confidence was soaring. “I remember being pumped up for the game,” Lonneman said. “I remember being fired up for the game. I think we had teammates who were great motivators. Brothers and Lonneman both recall senior Liz Flammer being particularly effective at a pep rally before the team left for Columbus. “She was talking to the whole student body, and she said, ‘If we don’t see you on Friday, then we will see you on Saturday,’” Lonneman said. “What she meant was we would win on Friday and be playing on Saturday. Everybody went nuts.” McNicholas actually played Thursday, March 15, but the point was made. Brothers scored 18 of her 20 points in the first half of the semifinal, leading McNicholas to a 27-20 halftime lead. She and Lonneman both got into foul trouble in the second half, but the Rockets still were able to hold off the Hawks for a 4844 win. Canfield upset eighth-ranked Pemberville Eastwood in the other semifinal, but the Cardinals couldn’t derail a McNicholas team officially on a roll. The Rockets jumped out a 9-0 lead, led 19-5 after one quarter and never let Canfield get closer than three points in a 52-40 win that was so lopsided that Heise could let his starters watch the finish from the bench. Oberschmidt scored a

tion reception and dinner for the new inductees, their families and friends and the current members of the Milford Hall of Fame. Inductees will receive a plaque recognizing their athletic accomplishments from the Milford Athletic Boosters Club. A lifetime pass to all Milford Athletic Department events will also be presented. Each inductee’s name will be added to the Milford Athletic Hall of Fame recognition plaque located in the Fley Center lobby at Milford High School.

team-high 15 points while Lonneman – an AP second-team all-state pick – added 13 and Brothers finished with 10. Four different players led McNicholas in scoring over the final five games. “I think, honestly, the strength of our team was we had five or seven girls who could contribute,” Brothers said. “If you shut one person down, somebody else would step up and fill her shoes.” Brothers remembers not wanting it to end. “I remember coming back after the state championship game and I was all excited, but I was partly depressed that we wouldn’t be playing another game,” she said. “I was wishing there was a regional game where we would play the Indiana state champion or something like that.” Another reason the magnitude of playing for the state championship didn’t scare the Rockets might’ve been Heise’s foresight to take his team up to Columbus the previous season to watch tournament games. “I vividly remember that,” Lonneman said. “I remember thinking, ‘This is really cool. I would love to be on that court.’” “I think Rob saw it all before us, but he never put pressure on us,” Brothers added. “He says he took us there for that reason.” Glory Days is a regular feature of Enquirer Media celebrating key moments, personalities and teams in Cincinnati’s rich prep sports history.

The birdfeeders are busy Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist

Howdy folks, I saw in the paper that Ray Davis’ wife passed away. She will be missed. I talked to Mike at the Boars Head Bait Shop and he said Wildlife had a coyote hunt last weekend. There were several coyotes harvested but not as many as they hoped would be. The coyote eat a lot of the little fawns each year. Last Monday it got warm so I checked the honeybees. I needed to put more sugar water on them and while I was doing this a few bees came out of the hive and they seem to be OK. I worked in the carpenter shop and made two birdfeeders out of peanut jars. I have used these kind of feeders for three years and they last good. I have made some out of orange juice jars and these are good. It keeps the jars from being thrown into the trash. The Kitchen of Hope at the Methodist Church in Bethel had a good turn out Saturday with probably 60 people there to enjoy a good meal. The times of the meal each Saturday is 11 a.m. till 12:30 p.m. The ladies that fix the meal do a fine job. The birdfeeders are busy with several kinds of birds including dove and a male and female cowbird. I filled the feeders up last Friday and now on Tuesday, I need to fill them again. Today after I write the article that will be done. I counted over 25 birds at two of the feeders. The food pantry will be at the St. Mary’s Catholic Church on Feb. 8, from 11

COMMUNITY BRIEFS

a.m. to 12:30 p.m. There is a lot of food for the folks. I always like to help giving out the produce along with Paula. The church will have a nickel raffle on Feb. 17, at 11:45 a.m. Now Paula has a cat named kitty. It sleeps by her every night and when it is morning her cat wants her donuts. Mr. Chester wants his canned cat food each morning. Then he likes to go and lay on my bed and sleep until 1 or 2 p.m. These animals are sure a blessing. Be careful on the road with the deer. I saw several raccoons, opossums, a fox, squirrels, and a coyote on the road by my place. With this cold weather keep check on your neighbors and people that are housebound. I have written before about putting a birdfeeder outside a window for anyone that is housebound. Then give them a bird book, pencil and paper so they can write down the birds they see. This will help them pass the time. If you would want to get on a lake to skate or ice fish, which is a something I like to do, make sure the ice is at least 4 or 5 inches thick. Now ice fishing is a good way to catch a lot of fish. Years ago Stonelick Lake was frozen over with 7 to 8 inches of ice and it looked like a village with folks fishing. Please be very careful when planning to get on an ice covered lake. Start your week by going to the house of worship of your choice and praising 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.

People often complain about the upand-down nature of winter temperatures in southwestern Ohio. Not Clermont County Park District employees. Naturalist Alyssa Rooks led staﬀers through the frigid sugar bush Jan. 22. Armed with drills, mallets, spiles and buckets, the heavily layered crew tapped 35 sugar maple trees to kick oﬀ maple season in the Park District. Temperatures soared from the single digits that morning into the low 50s the next afternoon, exactly the kind of cold-to-warm weather ideal for producing lots of liquid. Rooks hosts a Maple Days Hike from 2 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 10, at Pattison Lodge. This free event features a walk through the sugar bush and samples of maple tea (with cookies) in the lodge afterward. (While the hike is free, RSVPs are encouraged at either adrooks@clermontcountyohio.gov or 513-240-2615 to get an accurate count for food.). The culmination of maple season comes with the Park District’s 14th annual Pancakes in Park event set for 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, March 9, in the lodge. Cost is $6 for adults, $5 for seniors, $3 for ages 6 to 12 and children 5 and under are free. Tickets available at the door. Mark D. Motz

Be our guest at Park District The Clermont County Park District provides unparalleled outdoor experi-

ences in nature. What some don’t realize is the Park District also creates lifetime memories indoors. Just ask the 93 couples who said “I do” during weddings at Pattison Lodge in 2018. Or the 28 families who hosted reunions at the Hartman Log Cabin. Or the 22 youth groups who spent the night (or an entire weekend) in a yurt at Chilo Lock 34 Park. Nearly 14,000 people attended events at the lodge alone last year, the single busiest Park District rental facility. Beyond weddings, events there included company meetings, birthday and anniversary parties, church picnics, family reunions and bridal showers. Those numbers don’t even reflect regular park users, the guests who hiked or bicycled the trails, went bird watching, enjoyed a picnic lunch, used the playgrounds, launched their canoes, learned about local history in the museum at Chilo Lock 34 Park or any of the many other activities the Park District affords county residents and visitors. For more information on reserving a Park District facility for your event in 2019, please visit www.clermontparks.org and click the “Our Parks” tab for rental information. Or call the Park District office at 513-732-2977. Mark D. Motz

SCHOOL NEWS Anderson High School’s ‘She Kills Monsters’ celebrates geek culture The students of Anderson Theatre have steeped themselves in 90’s rock music, daring stage combat, and medieval fantasy as they prepare for their production of Qui Nguyen’s “She Kills Monsters” on Feb. 8-10. The dramatic comedy explores the world of role-playing games when the lead character, Agnes, learns to play Dungeons & Dragons in an attempt to understand her deceased sister, Tilly. “Through the game, my character learns not only about her sister, but also about bullying, creativity, and the struggle many people face to be accepted.” says senior Hailey Mauk, who plays Agnes. “In reality, she is afraid to be diﬀerent and have fun, but in the fantasy world she can be whoever she wants. And there’s a lot of humor.” Tickets for “She Kills Monsters” at Anderson High School are $10, and can be purchased at the door or at www.ShowTix4U.com. Performances are Feb. 8 and 9 at 7 p.m. and Feb. 10 at 2 p.m. Visit AndersonTheatre.com for more information. Elaine Seeley
