Rolling on the river in New Richmond Sharon Brumagem

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Things were rolling on the river Aug. 17-19 in New Richmond in Clermont County. Thousands of people traveled by various modes of transportation to the river town for its annual RiverDays event celebrating its rich Ohio River heritage. The event featured a cardboard boat regatta, live entertainment, dozens of craft/special interest/ food/game booths, rides (including a sea plane) and ﬁreworks.

This “ship of the Nile” rides a wave of air during RiverDays in New Richmond.

It wasn’t just another day at the office for Clermont County Sheriff Robert Leahy. “Good God.” That was reportedly Leahy’s response after learning about a Tate Township man who transported an “explosive mixture” to the sheriff ’s Batavia office. Police say Glenn S. Kassen, 53, of Tate Township, wanted to show the sheriff the “power” of an explosive mixture of his own creation. The Hamilton County Sheriff ’s Office Bomb Squad was called in after Kassen described to detectives the contents of Glenn S. his brew, according to Kassen police. No details of the concoction’s contents were available. Samples were taken before the bomb squad detonated the mixture. A search of Kassen’s home resulted in the recovery of additional materials which were also detonated, according to police. Kassen has a list of prior arrests and convictions in Clermont County, including aggravated menacing and disorderly conduct. This investigation is ongoing and will be reviewed with the Clermont County Prosecutor’s Office for consideration of charges to be presented to a grand jury. Kassen was arraigned in Clermont County Municipal Court after being charged Aug. 24 with illegal assembly or possession of chemicals, or substances, for manufacturing of an explosive device. He’s being held in the Clermont County Jail on a $500,000 bond. His court date was set for Tuesday, Sept. 4.

‘Fur’ever homes needed for abandoned cats Sheila Vilvens Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Sure, it’s a challenge. The task can be thankless. Nevertheless, volunteers from various rescues are uniting in an effort to find homes for upward of two dozen cats. A few are kittens. Most are young adult felines between 1 and 3 years old, according to Evelyn Black, a Mason resident and member of Tri-State CART, a nonprofit disaster relief agency for animals. The felines were abandoned when a New Richmond area rescue unexpectedly closed, she said. It’s not always easy to place an adult cat, Black said. Especially in kitten season. This knowledge isn’t deterring Black, Brittney May with Crazy Cats Rescue, Liz Johnson with OAR Spay Neuter Clinic, and others from trying. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals estimates that 3.2 million cats enter U.S. shelters each year. Of these cats, nearly 30 percent are euthanized. Nearly half are adopted. The numbers are not in their favor, Black acknowledged. Still, they need to try.The CART group has access to a storage shed full of cages and other equipment used for emergencies. “While we are not officially activated, we’re using our equipment and some of

kittens. All will be spayed/neutered, tested for feline leukemia, vaccinated, ﬂea treated and dewormed. Many need extensive medical care which Crazy Cats Animal Rescue is providing. Costs for this rescue, however, are exceeding expectations, May said. About $2,000 has already been invested in the health of the cats, with an addi-

New Millcroft Inn owner to preserve site Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A developer has bought the historic Millcroft Inn in Milford for $550,000 and intends to preserve and restore the main house and stable. Contingent Holdings, LLC, said it also intends to modernize the infrastructure to support mixed commercial uses at the site at 203 Mill St., where a restaurant operated for nearly 70 years. The sprawling, nearly 14,000square-foot Millcroft Inn was built in 1812. It sits on just under a half acre in the heart of Milford’s downtown historic district. “It is imperative to restore and preserve these structures for future generations which is exactly what we intend to do,” said Mark Stuhlreyer, president of Contingent Holdings. The Sycamore Township developer is asking the community to help restore the buildings by sending historical photos and documents to “Save the Millcroft” at 7885 East Kemper Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45249. Electronic scans can be sent to mark@contingentholdings.com. Negotiations are underway with a prospective tenant for the portion of the inn site anchored by the old stable. An announcement should be forthcoming in the next few weeks, according to Con-

tingent Holdings. The developer is searching for a tenant for the larger portion of the site anchored by the main house, with its anticipated use as a large, 100-plus-seat restaurant, commissary, meeting/event center and professional oﬃces. Contingent Holdings’ purchase of the Millcroft Inn is good news for the Greater Milford Area Historical Society, which successfully lobbied against plans by a previous owner to build townhouses and ﬂats on the site. “This site has tremendous historical value and if properly and thoughtfully developed can once again be a source of great community pride in Milford and surrounding neighborhoods,” said Donna Amann, administrator of the historical society.

Anderson Pieology closes after 2 years Sheila Vilvens Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Pizza lovers in Anderson Township have one less place to dine. Pieology Pizzeria in Anderson Towne Center is closed. The pizza restaurant announced its closure in an Aug. 27 email to subscribers. No reason was given. The message simply read “Sorry, Pieology Anderson Towne Center is now closed. Thank you for visiting.” It referenced the Pieology U Square on West McMillian Street as an alternative dining option. Anderson Township Trustee Andrew Pappas said he’s saddened anytime a

business closes. “These are people’s jobs we are talking about,” he said. “However, that’s always the challenge in a capitalist system. I hope the employees ﬁnd new jobs and the space is reutilized to a proﬁtable venture.” Pieology opened in Anderson Township in the spring of 2016 shortly after the opening of Top This Donut Bar & Ice Cream, which is also closed. The latest restaurant closure comes on the heels of the opening of other new dining places in Anderson Township. Chipotle recently opened in the new Shoppes of Anderson Towne Center development. Earlier this year McAlister’s Deli opened for business in the same plaza.

Kroger to ban plastic checkout bags by 2025 Alexander CoolidgeCincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

HELLO Kroger said it will ban all plastic checkout bags by 2025. America's largest supermarket chain said it will transition from single-use to reusable bags and ultimately eliminate 123 million pounds of garbage annually sent to landfills. That would quadruple the amount of plastic the retailer currently recycles. Kroger currently sells reusable bags starting at $1 each. Kroger will ramp up the availability of those bags. Shoppers for the foreseeable future will still have the option of asking for paper bags. Kroger said it is also looking to cut back or phase out plastic bags for produce and meat, but it's focusing on eliminating checkout bags for now. The ban will directly affect a wide swath of consumers: Kroger serves 9 million customers every day at its nearly 2,800 stores in 35 states and the District of Columbia. Kroger's Seattle-based QFC subsidiary, with 63 stores in the Pacific Northwest, will be the first division to eliminate the bags by 2019. Besides hundreds of its namesake stores in the Midwest and the South, Kroger operates hundreds more under the Harris Teeter, Ralphs, Fred Meyer, Fry's and other nameplates. Kroger officials said they are responding to growing environmental concerns raised by shoppers, employees, communities and nonprofits. "The plastic shopping bag’s days are numbered," Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen wrote in an editorial submitted to The Enquirer and USAToday. "Our customers have told us it makes no sense to have so much plastic only to be used once before being discarded – And they’re exactly right." Kroger's decision will pressure other major competitors to follow suit. With nearly $123 billion in annual sales, Kroger is the second-largest grocer (behind Walmart, which is a mass discount retailer that gets half its $500 billion in sales from food). "We're the first major retailer in the U.S. to do this," said Jessica Adelman, Kroger's vice president of corporate affairs, which oversees company environmental and sustainability efforts. Kroger uses 6 billion such bags annually, while the industry discards an estimated 100 billion bags each year.

Only 5 percent of supermarket bags are recycled by consumers. Last year, Kroger collected almost 38 million pounds of plastic for recycling in those in-store bins at the front of stores. Additionally, Kroger recycled another 28 million pounds of plastic from other operations for a total of 66 million pounds. The ban comes as individual cities concerned about environmental impact have moved to outlaw such waste. Kroger oﬃcials said they decided to implement the transition at QFC because of the division's small size and half its stores already are under a ban enacted by Seattle in 2012. The debate over plastic shopping bags has spread across the nation. Last year, a statewide referendum on California's 2016 ban of plastic bags fell short of repealing the law, so it remains in eﬀect. Kroger's Los Angeles-based subsidiary Ralphs operates under the California law. The legislation banned plastic single-use bags, but authorized a heavier plas-

tic bag (diﬀerent than standard reusable bags) designed for multiple uses that shoppers can buy for 10 cents apiece. Hawaii (where Kroger has no stores) has a de facto statewide as its largest counties have outlawed them. Other cities that have enacted bans on plastic shopping bags are Austin, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Other cities and counties that are beginning to crack down with fees are: Boulder, Colorado; Brownsville, Texas; Montgomery County, Maryland; New York City; Portland, Maine; and Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, several states in the Midwest, South and the West have passed laws preventing local governments from enacting their own bans: Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri and Wisconsin. "Though the majority of bills propose a ban or fee on bags, or improve recycling programs, most enacted legislation in recent years deals with preemption of local government action," said the National Conference of State Legislators in May.

Try jalapenos a new way: candied Rita’s Kitchen

Candied jalapeno peppers/cowboy candy

Rita Heikenfeld

Makes about 9 half pints. These are addictive! Awesome gift, as well.

Picking hot peppers is like picking cucumbers – the more peppers we pick, the more peppers we have. Maybe you’re in the same situation, whether it’s peppers from your garden or the market. So try the candied jalapeno peppers. I’ve had numerous requests again for them. Trendy restaurants are serving their own version of this alongside sandwiches and stirred into condiments. You can make them at home, like my daughter-in-law Jess and I are doing this weekend. That’s what she requested for her birthday. And if you’re in the mood for a quick and yummy ﬁsh dish, try the roasted salmon with sweet & spicy glaze. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator and author. Find her blog online at Abouteating.com. Email her at rita@com munitypress.com with “Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line.

Ingredients 3 pounds jalapenos (throw in a few Serranos if you have them) 2 cups cider vinegar 5 percent acid 6 cups sugar (it’s a lot but remember, you’re candying the peppers) 1/2 teaspoon turmeric 1/2-3/4 teaspoon celery seed 3 teaspoons granulated dry garlic 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper Instructions Wearing gloves, remove stems from peppers. Slice into 1/8-1/4 inch rounds. Set aside.

Salmon with sweet and spicy glaze No real recipe but a kind of go to taste on ingredients deal. Here’s the improv version: Ingredients Salmon filets with skin Dark or light brown sugar and Dijon or spicy country mustard Salt and pepper Instructions Preheat oven to 400-425. Mix sugar and mustard. Start adding sugar to mustard until glaze is sweet with a bit of a kick. Season fish, place skin side down on sprayed baking sheet. Coat thickly with glaze and roast until fish flakes with fork, about 10-15 minutes, depending upon size. Don’t overbake.

Bring everything else to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Add pepper slices and simmer 4 minutes. They will shrivel a little. No worries. Use a slotted spoon to put peppers into hot canning jars to within 1/4 inch of the upper rim of the jar. Turn heat up under the syrup and bring to a full boil. Boil for 6 minutes. Pour boiling syrup into the jars over jalapeno slices. Insert a knife or skewer into the bottom of the jar and turn it two

Candied jalapenos can be brushed onto meat on the grill or added to potato salad or mayo for sandwiches. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

or three times to release any trapped pockets of air. Adjust level of syrup if necessary. Wipe top and sides of rims with clean, wet cloth. Why? Even a teeny particle of food that clings to rim prevents a good seal.

Remove jars. Leave them to cool, undisturbed, for 24 hours. Allow to mellow two weeks. Or don’t! Store in pantry up to a year. Don’t want to can peppers?

Screw on 2 piece caps and lids. (Flat cap has to be new; screw on lid does not).

Just store in refrigerator for several months. Or freeze up to 6 months.

Place jars in canner, cover with water by 2 inches. Bring to a full boil. Boil for 10 minutes for 4 oz. and 8 oz. jars, or 15 minutes for pints.

Viewpoints Probation substations help probationers succeed Steven Martin Guest Columnist Community Press

Since the late 1990’s The Hamilton County Common Pleas Court, on which I have served on since 1996, has maintained probation substations in certain communities. Currently there are substations in Madisonville, Price Hill, Clifton/Avondale, and Over the Rhine. The idea came from Mike Snowden who is a former Cincinnati Chief of Police and later was our Chief Probation Oﬃcer. The thought behind utilizing these substations was to give people on probation more supervision than was possible with only a downtown location. I was able to get this plan adopted despite misgivings of several judges and Probation Oﬃcers. Periodically, I review the performance of these substations. Within the last few months I have gone to the Community Councils of East Price Hill, West Price Hill and Madisonville. The residents in those communities believe, without exception, that those substations are working well. By law, there are some defendants that are required to be placed on probation. I want every one of my probationers

to succeed and by that, I mean to follow the law, get a job, complete their education and be out of the criminal justice system. By being in the community, these officers provide more effective supervision. Probation officers work closely with the community and law enforcement. It is a vital part of the work of our Court. Probation Officers being in the neighborhoods help the probationers succeed. Small problems are solved before they become big problems. Job referrals can be made promptly. If someone needs drug treatment, these officers can arrange that treatment quickly often without violating probation. Simply put, these substations are an effective use of the taxpayer’s dollars. In each of the communities served by these probation officers, there are community groups doing great things. As a Judge, I am proud that these probation officers participate in the community often on their own time. They are a vital link to the citizens our Court serves. I have long felt our Court needs to expand the use of substations. Helping probationers turn their lives around should always be a goal of The Hamilton County Common Pleas Court. Steven Martin has served as a Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge since 1996.

Choose your moving company carefully Sandra Guile Guest Columnist Community Press

Moving back to campus or moving to a new home takes a lot of organizing, planning, and patience. Choosing someone to pick up all your belongings and take them to another location is a scary prospect, and sometimes the details involved with moving aren’t exactly clear before the first box is packed. Know this: you have rights and responsibilities that protect both you and the moving company that begins when you decide to move until the time the items are dropped at the new door. ❚ Everything starts with the estimate - have the company tell you exactly how much the move will cost in writing and read the fine print. ❚ Know what estimate you received there are three types. 1. Nonbinding - the final cost may be different than what you were quoted originally. 2. Binding - the final cost is the amount you were told during the estimate. 3. Guaranteed to not exceed - the final cost must be at or lower than the number contained in the quoted price. ❚ Insurance is important - the moving company is liable for the value of your items, but there are different levels of liability that may impact the

amount of reimbursement you receive if an item is lost or damaged. ❚ Verify licensing - interstate movers must be licensed and insured by the federal government. Trucks are assigned a motor carrier number, one which you can confirm with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration ❚ Check out who you choose - hiring a moving broker is different than hiring a moving company; they act as middlemen between you and a mover, so make sure you know who you’re working with. Unfortunately, scams are also something to be aware of when getting ready to move. One common scam is when a moving company lures a customer into a deal with low rates and then holds their items hostage in exchange for a ransom that’s two to three times higher than the original estimate. Another is when a deposit is put down on a truck and a moving date is agreed upon, but the moving company never shows up. There are a few red flags that can help you spot a shady moving company, so be wary if they refuse to do onsite inspections; if they demand a large deposit in cash; or if they only have a P.O. Box and have no listing of a brick and mortar location. Should you suspect something doesn’t seem quite right, report it to scamtracker.org. Find additional tips on bbb.org Sandra Guile is the Community Outreach Specialist for BBB.

Teach a person to think and learn forever Chuck Keller Guest Columnist Community Press

I asked this question at the beginning of class: Should the Food and Drug Administration declare chocolate pudding a vegetable? After some giggling, I argued that after all chocolate was made from a bean and pudding was found on salad bars all over therefore it must be a vegetable. Sure, it’s flawed argumentation, but it got the discussion going. Students had to think about their responses, question the premise of the argument, search for support for their claim, and articulate an argument. They had to think. Rote responses were useless. As humorous as this seems, it underscores my premise that we must teach students how to think. In fact, I argue that skills are more important than content in the long arc of life learning. If we know how to ask questions, where to look for answers, and how to evaluate those answers then we as teachers have succeeded. This is my definition of thinking. There is, no doubt, a value to memorizing facts like names, dates, events, definitions, formulae, etc. But there is even more value in asking questions like “Why was George Washington the first American President?” Or “What is our relationship to the environment?” Or “Would the Vietnam War have ended when it did if people did not protest?” Or “Is Romeo and Juliet a love story or a cautionary tale in how not to love?” Students at any age can do this. For 10 of my 34 teaching years, I team-taught the English portion of American Studies, a combination of American History and American Literature. My partner was an amazing talent. Not only did he have a deep knowledge but he was a gifted instructor and

he was academically adventurous. He was willing to take a chance. So we took lots of chances and we failed as well as succeeded along the way, but we learned from our mistakes. It was a joy to see our students become curious lifelong learners and to see their standardized test scores improve. But always we debated content versus skill. Since our discussions made us think more deeply about what, why, and how we were doing, we decided to teach students that same process. Ultimately, it is important for students to become their own teachers. We must teach the how and the why. We must teach them how to think. We must teach how to be constructively critical. If we do not, then we fail the student and the community. And I cannot accept that kind of failure. Teaching to the test may get a student into a good college, but it will not help that student develop in college where she must be an independent learner. And it won’t help students solve problems in the workforce, either. To discuss this will reveal biases in curriculum and teaching styles and may conﬂict with administration edicts, but it’s worth the discussion. I recently held an online discussion on this topic. One former student told me, “If you are able to critically think and deduct using logic and research, you can become proﬁcient in any content.” The future belongs to those who can think critically, communicate, and solve problems. Teach a student how to think and you have created a learner for life. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going back to the salad bar for some chocolate pudding.

How will Mercy McAuley aﬀect VB scene? Mark Schmetzer

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Perhaps the most intriguing question regarding not just volleyball but all Greater Cincinnati high school girls sports this year is what kind of impact will be felt from the new Mercy McAuley. The school formed by the merger of Mercy and McAuley will sponsor teams of athletes from former programs that traditionally enjoyed levels of success in most – if not all – all sports. “We have a unique opportunity establishing the identity of our new program,” Wolves coach Greg Samuels said. “This will lead to one of the deepest rosters that I’ve been a part of with 13 returning players having extensive varsity experience, and with this depth will come lofty team goals.” Mercy won a district championship last season led by outside hitter Shelby Dennis, who ranked second in the Girls Greater Catholic League in kills per set each of the last two seasons, and defender Alyssa Overbeck, who ranked among the GGCL’s top four in digs per set each of the last two seasons. From McAuley comes 5-foot-11 middle hitter Madison Merz, who ﬁnished ninth in the GGCL in blocks last season as a freshman. The Wolves still will have to get past defending Division I state-champion Ursuline and regional runnerup Mount Notre Dame in the GGCL. Coach Jeni Case lost seven players to graduation from the state champions, but she welcomes back ﬁrst-team junior setter Logan Case and second-team allstate libero Maggie Huber. “It’s nice to have two key positions back,” Jeni Case said. “This will be their third year in those

positions.” Coach Chris Lovett’s MND Cougars welcome back significant experience, led by three seniors – outside hitter Samantha Wolf, middle blocker Madison Kern and defender Emily Ernst. “I think that we are going to have a strong defensive team while also matched with a powerful offense,” said Lovett, who’s in his first season as coach after nine as an assistant. Loveland seems poised to make some noise behind senior middle hitter/ setter Marie Plitt and senior libero Corrine Wilson. “Loveland is eyeing the (Eastern Cincinnati Conference) title again this year,” fourth-year Loveland coach Julie Plitt said. Among lower division schools, Division II Bishop Fenwick has just two seniors, but the Falcons return five starters, led by junior setter Grace Maziar. Division III Madeira coach Jennifer Bracken expects the Amazons to be strong in the middle, offensively and defensively, while Dan Coyne is taking over at Williamsburg for long-time coach Ed Stewart, who is recovering from knee replacement surgery. Coyne has five starters back from last season’s 24-2 team.

Turpin’s Bush beating path to state XC title Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

MASON - After the Lakota East Invitational at Voice of America Park in Mason, Turpin High School senior Samantha (Sam) Bush is 2-0 and looking like one of the runners to beat again this fall. She's been so good for so long that one fan was overheard saying, "I thought she graduated!" No such luck for the competition. Sam Bush is back in her familiar frontrunning position. "Sam Bush is the only Sam Bush," Turpin coach Melissa Siemers said. "She has the Turpin cross country as well as the two-mile and mile record in track. She has been the fastest to come through in what she does." Bush has a favorable start, having already won the OHSAA Preview Race at National Trail Raceway in Hebron, Ohio in 18:45. The raceway is normally for motorcycles and dragsters, but harriers like Bush give it a trot to start the season and, if they're lucky, to end the season. Turpin won as a team among smaller Division I schools the opening week and was second to Lakota East Aug. 25. Bush again won that race comfortably in 18:55.8. "The focus was running the two-mile really hard," Bush said. "The first mile I stayed back and stayed with my teammates in the pack. The second mile my focus was to get at it and get to the front." She reached the front and finished with a 19-second cushion over secondplace finisher Carly Spletzer of Lakota East. Bush was 10th at the state meet last year and has some improving to do to better that time of 18:13.2. As a sophomore, she was fifth in 17:55.5. Her freshman year she was 17th in 18:36. Her cross country career started at Nagel Middle School in Anderson Township when she went out and won her first race as a seventh-grader. In spring track and field, Bush is always a distance threat around the oval. She's been an Eastern Cincinnati Conference Runner of the Year three consecutive seasons. Last spring she was tops in the ECC in the 1,600 meters at 4:53.31 and 3,200 at 10:38.37. Bush is also a state meet veteran at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in Columbus having qualified in both longdistance events each season. As a freshman, she was fifth in the 3,200. Her sophomore year saw her take fifth in the 1,600 and fourth in the 3,200, while last year she was third in the 1,600 meters. In both seasons, she's often battled

with Maddie Walker, who ran two years at Amelia and then became part of Bush's ECC competition with West Clermont. Walker will run for the University of Cincinnati. "You're deﬁnitely going to see her and Maddie battle. It's a friendly rivalry," Siemers said. "Horter (Danielle) from Lakota East is starting to shine now and you may see freshman Emmy Sager from Milford make improvements. Kings is always going to be strong as they have been the last few years." In addition, Siemers is taking Bush and Turpin to Columbus and Centerville to catch other top competition she may see again in October.

"It's better to run with people because I obviously get better times," Bush said. "It's nice to have them push you and make you run better." She also doesn't mind getting a little verbal push from coach Siemers at various points of the course. Track meets allow her to feed oﬀ the crowd, but cross country features smaller pockets of people along the way. "When I'm by myself, it's deﬁnitely a help when I'm slowing down," Bush said. Like West Clermont's Walker, she will also continue her running career in college. She has a pretty prestigious list of six currently in the running for her ser-

vices. "Last week I visited six schools in six days," Bush said. "I visited Penn State, North Carolina State, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Georgia, and Tennessee." One of those schools will get one of the more consistent runners the area's seen over the last four seasons. With the opening win at National Trail, Bush thinks she knows that course better having led most of the way. Either way, opponents in autumn know to look for the blonde pony-tail in the maroon and gold. "She's deﬁnitely a known name," Siemers said. "It always takes her a little bit by surprise that that's the case."

The critters are trying to destroy my garden and fruit trees Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist

Howdy folks. I got the cataracts off both eyes now and by golly everything looks bright. Dr. Bell did this for me. I didn’t realize how bad my eyes were. Now everything is clear and the colors are bright. The farm market at Bethel is doing good. There were several folks selling garden items, one feller selling honey, one selling baked items – the lady that bakes is doing a fine job. Lots of folks sure like what she bakes. Paula and I went down to Mount Moriah for a steak and chicken supper with the VanScyoc’s last Friday. The Bethel Woods had a picnic last Friday and the folks sure enjoyed all the food. It won’t be long till I speak to the folks at Bethel Woods. I will be speaking to the seniors at the lodge above Batavia at the Senior Services Tuesday. I enjoy doing this and they are such a good group. Some remark that I have brought memories of when they were kids back to mind and that is good. Talked to Mike at the bait shop in Afton. He said he is looking for a super fall for fishing. They have caught more blue catfish this year than other years. The crappie are starting to be more aggressive and the channel cat fish are biting real good. He said they’re catching some stripers and musky. The bass

fishing has been slow. Talked to Ken and he said it took 14 pounds of bass to win at Grant Lake. That lake has been very good this year. Talked to Cedar Lake and they had a contest Aug. 28 to Sept. 1. The garden is getting about done. The tomatoes are still getting ripe. The bell peppers are getting bigger and the cucumbers are good. I have one vine that has crawled up the side of the fence and has some nice cucumbers. I set some blueberries out in the spring and got a handful of blueberries. The birds got the rest. Next year I will need to put a cover on the plants and hope that keeps the birds out. I have a groundhog or whistle pig – this is a nickname for the critter that is digging under one of my buildings. Now the raccoons have company. The squirrels and crows have eaten all the apples and pears off my trees. It seems if you don’t fence or do something, the critters will destroy a garden and fruit trees. Mr. Chester, my cat, is doing fine. He only likes one kind of cat food and if I get the wrong kind he just sits and looks at me. 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.

Ruff ’N Stuff 4-H Club’s yearly community service for Christ Presbyterian Church By Noah Munz, Ruff’N Stuff Reporter The Ruff ’N Stuff 4-H Club does a yearly community service project to pay back the community. The Ruff ’N Stuff 4-H Club has operated out of the Christ Presbyterian Church for many years. To repay the church for letting the club operate in their building, Ruff ’N Stuff decided to pay back the church by doing our yearly community service at the church. The Ruff ’N Stuff 4-H Club, advised by Brenda Bayne, has done volunteer work for the church to repay this debt before in 2012. To continue to repay the

debt, we decided to volunteer again this year. The volunteer work that the group has done both times is landscaping the area around the church. The group planted flowers, spread mulch and weeded the church grounds. The head of landscaping was at the event and was very thankful that we helped landscape and beautify the church. The project was a success and the club was happy that they could help the community and pay back the kindness that the church had offered them. Brenda Bayne, Ruff ‘N Stuff 4Hers

Goshen Local Schools receives grant from the Ohio Department of Education. PROVIDED/MARK EDWARDS, GOSHEN LOCAL SCHOOLS

Goshen Local Schools receives grant from the Ohio Department of Education Goshen Local Schools has recently been awarded a nearly half million dollars grant to increase both college readiness opportunities as well as industry credentialing opportunities. Only 17 school districts in the state of Ohio were awarded the grant from the Ohio Department of Education. The grant was established as part of Ohio’s strategic plan for education known as “Each Child, Our Future.” The purpose of the grant is designed to expand access to and increase enrollment in advanced coursework for students including lowincome students through the development of career pathways, Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate opportunities. The grant awarded to Goshen Local Schools is for $425,000 over the course of three years. The grant ﬁts well with Goshen Local Schools future and current college and career readiness initiatives. At Goshen the grant will fund strategies aimed at: Developing more advanced placement and college course opportunities, Developing new industry credentialing pathways, Increase career exploration and college readiness ef-

forts in elementary and middle school. “A commitment to access and equity is deeply embedded in our history and mission at Goshen.” said Superintendent Darrell Edwards. “We believe in every student’s talent and potential to make important contributions to our world. This grant will deepen our capacity and speed our progress toward making good on our district mission for all students to perform at increasingly higher levels.” The money speciﬁcally will be used for initiatives such as to help further develop the college Information Technology program that was created through the partnership between the University of Cincinnati and Goshen Local Schools. A portion will be used to bring in state of the art

equipment for Goshen students to not only take college level computer courses, but also help those students gain industry credentials that usually are earned by post-secondary students. In addition, tools that help monitor students’ progress towards post High School goals will be added to help engage parents with the college and career planning process. One of the Board of Education’s Target Areas is “Career and College Readiness”. The grant means that more opportunities will come to Goshen students and families. These opportunities will help lead the way for a bright future for all students in the Goshen Local School District. Mark Edwards, Goshen Local Schools
