YO U ’ L L B E Delighted
Bethel’s local-celebrity columnist for more than 30 years ...
The Ole Fisherman David Lyman
Special to Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
“Howdy folks.” For more than 30 years, that’s been the opening line of George Rooks’ weekly “Ole Fisherman” column that runs in the Community Press' Bethel Journal and Eastside Press weekly newspapers. To be frank, I’d never heard of George until a month ago. That’s when my editor asked me to write a story about him and his column. I didn’t think I was a good fi t for the job. I don’t fi sh. Nor do I garden, another of the passions that fuel George’s writing. But then I started reading his columns. First, it was just a handful. But then, I couldn’t stop reading them. Today, I am a convert. There is something incredibly appealing about George’s writing. It’s straightforward, much like he is in person. George doesn’t gussie up his columns with $5 words. He’s not snarky or trying to prove how much smarter he is than we are. He’s just sharing information, much like he did when he was a ranger at East Fork State Park before he retired 30 or so years ago. The only thing that changed is that instead of answering phone calls about fi shing conditions at the park, he put it down on paper and sent it around to local publications. Unexpectedly – to everyone but George – the column was a hit. Before long, he started including anecdotes about his cats. And his church. And his wife Ruth Ann’s recipes. “The Lord only knows what direction it would go,” laughed George. All he knew is that they let him write what he wanted. The one thing he was adamant about was pay. “They don’t pay. If they’re going to pay me, I’m going to quit.” Fortunately, they never paid him. So George kept writing. Theresa Herron was his editor for 12 years at the Clermont Community Journal Newspapers. She’d known him since she was a kid, and her father and George were park rangers at Stonelick State Park. “Back at the park, he always had lots of stories,” Herron recalled. “He still does. And people listen to what he has to say. People would tell me they read George and would plant their gardens according to what George said.” George’s column is so much more than fi shing and gardening, though. He’s become the modern-day equivalent of a town crier, a character somewhere beSee OLE FISHERMAN, Page 5A

Once completed, the 1.2- million-square-foot facility will be as large as the Kenwood Towne Centre. Ohio and local offi cials have agreed to provide a package of at least $6.8 million tax incentives to secure the project. “Close collaboration between JobsOhio, its local partners and the Development Services Agency were essential to attracting Purina’s newest facility and 300 jobs to Ohio,” said Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine. State offi cials said Ohio won the project over competing bids by North Carolina and Kentucky. Purina’s incentive package includes an estimated $2 million state job creation tax credit of 1.714% over 10
years. The incentives also include an estimated $4.8 million sales tax exemption on construction and supply costs from the Port Authority of Clermont County. Further incentives Purina is getting are a 100% local enterprise zone tax exemption from the township and Clermont County, while the Williamsburg school district will receive at least $320,000 per year payment in lieu of taxes. Local offi cials said they haven't determined the value of the enterprise zone exemption. “We are grateful for the partnership at the state and local levels, and we’re excited to call Clermont County See PURINA, Page 2A

home,” said Nina Leigh Krueger, president of Purina. Purina offi cials said the region’s manufacturing talent and central U.S. location made Clermont a logical choice for the new factory. “Clermont County is an excellent location for Purina’s newest factory thanks to the region’s distribution opportunities, a workforce with great potential and strong community values,” said Nolan Terry, vice president of manufacturing for Purina. Offi cials with the Regional Economic Development Initiative (REDI) Cincinnati said the project is one of the largest investments by a company moving new operations to the region in more than fi ve years. “Nestlé Purina Petcare is an incredibly welcome addition to the Cincinnati region’s food manufacturing,” said Kimm Lauterbach, REDI Cincinnati president, noting the 300 food and fl avoring companies with operations in the area. The plant will be in the South Afton Industrial Park. The facility will use robotics and innovative digital tools and feature a training center to promote learning and development. Purina paid $6.95 million for the land earlier this month, Clermont County Auditor's Offi ce records show. “Clermont County will recoup its initial investment in South Afton. This is a win for Clermont County government, the Williamsburg area, Nestlé Purina and the residents of Clermont County,” said David Painter,

president of Clermont County Board of Commissioners. Purina said the factory will fully be staff ed by 2024 and the jobs will include professional staff , production operators, technical staff and engineers. State offi cials say the plant's annual payroll will be more than $12.5 million. The project is the second new factory Purina has announced in 2020 after the company recently announced it would convert a former brewery into a factory in North Carolina. Overall, Nestlé employs 3,300 people in Ohio. It has operations in Solon, Marysville, Cleveland, Brecksville
and Zanesville. Ohio offi cials on Oct. 26 also announced a separate $210,000 incentive deal to win a new location project in Blue Ash for 3D metal printing machine manufacturer, AddUp. State offi cials say the facilty will create 25 new jobs with a $2.3 million annual payroll. The state beat out South Carolina for the project.

Clermont offi cials mull body cams for deputies Jeanne Houck
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Clermont County Sheriff Robert Leahy says statemandated duties and his own priorities eat up too much of his budget to justify a body camera program now. Leahy also believes county residents already trust his offi ce to quickly and aggressively investigate allegations of misconduct on the part of his employees. But Leahy wouldn’t be averse to deputies using body cameras if state and federal grants for the equipment and, importantly, continuing costs for using it, become available. Leahy believes that very well could happen soon, given the current national debate on police reform. “The big thing I am waiting for is the state or federal government and any reforms that come forward that may address the purchasing and maintaining of body cameras,” Leahy said. “In the future when I have the ability to or it’s time for us to – and it will (eventually) be time for us to – move in that direction, I’m open to it.” The Clermont County Board of Commissioners, which manages the sheriff ’s budget with his input, are not ruling out the possibility of equipping deputies with body cameras in the future. “The sheriff ’s priority has been additional training, additional staff and new safety equipment,” Commissioner David Painter said. “Maybe down the road, if funding becomes available as part of mandated state or federal reform, we could explore this issue.” Hamilton County sheriff deputies are equipped with body cameras, as are offi cers in some local police departments such as Cincinnati’s. Butler County deputies don’t have the cameras. Clermont County Sheriff Leahy said it would cost his offi ce about $150,000 a year to maintain bodycamera data and to pay someone to oversee the program, which requires an employee to provide copies of the videos upon request after the videos are reviewed and protected private information redacted. “Across the country, the cries for body cameras are about accountability, (but) the number of complaints we have from the public are very minimal,” Leahy said.
'We hold our own people to account' Leahy said most of the misconduct claims involving his staff come from supervisors in his offi ce. “We hold our own people to account when we see them making mistakes, which is the key to better policing and better community relations for this county,” Leahy said. “It makes it hard for me to justify this additional expense (for body cameras) when there’s not a need for it.” Leahy said his priorities now are on keeping fully

staff ed, continuing current programs, infrastructure upkeep, technological upgrades to equipment and an $852,000 training facility under construction on State Route 222 in Batavia. Leahy said some people may be unaware of the number and variety of responsibilities that fall to his offi ce, which has an annual budget of about $21 million and handles about 70,000 calls for service a year, not including traffi c stops or arrests. Leahy’s offi ce employs 100 deputies who patrol roads, investigate crimes, transport prisoners, provide security at courthouses, serve documents issued by the courts and provide police services for communities without their own police departments. Other law-enforcement agencies work with deputies on the sheriff ’s Clermont County Special Response Team and Clermont County Drug Task Force. Another 100 civilian corrections offi cers in Leahy’s offi ce run the Clermont County Jail. The offi ce also has about 20 administrative employees. “If we tried to take somebody from another position (to oversee a body-camera program) and spread around (that person’s former work), the workload’s probably going to be too much because we are pretty streamlined with our number of employees,” Leahy said. Leahy said his offi ce has considered body cameras off and on for the last three or four years, but available grants usually were only for the initial purchase of the cameras.
Sheriff: Body cameras come with long-term fi nancial commitment “So, the issue fi nancially is the long-term commitment needed to maintain the data and storage of those
cameras,” Leahy said. Currently, the village of Moscow and the townships of Batavia, Franklin, Monroe, Tate and Washington contract with the sheriff ’s offi ce for police services. “I think if we were to get body cameras, then a portion of that cost would be passed on to them,” Leahy said. “But as of right now, we are not to that point.” Union Township Trustee John McGraw said whether Clermont County sheriff deputies should get body cameras is a question for Leahy and the Clermont County commissioners. “I would say yes, but I realize the cost of the cameras, the system servers and maintenance needed to back up the cameras is quite expensive,” McGraw said. “I would like to see Union Township police get cameras, but the expense is something out of our current budget. If residents desire cameras, then they have to be willing to pay for them.” Milford Police Chief Jamey Mills said body cameras are great, and like anything great, they come with a hefty price tag. “In addition to the purchase price, there’s the ongoing expense of data storage, and even more taxing are the personnel hours to manage the data. Any recording that included identifi cation information (such as) driver’s license numbers, Social Security numbers, etc., would have to be redacted,” Mills said. Clermont County Commissioner Ed Humphrey said the sheriff ’s opinion on using body cameras would be central to any study of the possibility. “We would need to examine the sheriff ’s priorities, as there are signifi cant ongoing costs associated with this,” Humphrey said. Commissioner Claire Corcoran agreed. “As we work with the sheriff , this is defi nitely worth exploring as priorities are discussed,” Corcoran said.

Ole Fisherman Continued from Page 1A
tween a loving grandfather and a next-door codger with a tale for every occasion. “The Ole Fisherman” has an old-fashioned feel to it, colloquial and chatty with just enough quirky yarnspinning to keep you reading even if you’re not really interested in fi shing. It’s like reading a travel guide for a destination you’re not planning to visit. The column is a throwback to an earlier era of newspapering, when guys like George – they were nearly all men then – would share all manner of tales about the community. There’s an adage that editors occasionally toss around that “all news is local.” George may not know the saying. But he understands the philosophy in a way that few journalism school grads ever will. Read George’s column for any length of time and you’ll learn about his passion for raised gardens, too – preferably in old tractor tires. You’ll hear about the scooter his daughter Debby got him after he broke his hip in June. You’ll almost certainly learn about his cats, Miss Chessie and Mr. Chester. You’ll hear about the goings-on at the Shepherd’s Place, the faith-based afterschool center across from Living the Word Church, which he has attended for decades, back to when it was part of the United Methodist Church. Most weeks, you’ll read something about Mike Arnold and his Boar's Head Bait Shop in Afton. It’s just across Old State Route 32 from East Fork State Park. “I’ve known George for a long, long time – back to my 4-H days,” says Arnold, guessing that their acquaintance goes back 40 years or more. “He checks in two or three times a week, always talking about fi shing. But he’s that involved with everything he does; gardening, church, woodworking. Not food, though – that was Ruth Ann.” That’s Ruth Ann Rooks, George’s wife of 56 years who died in 2014. George misses her, of course. But he’s not a sentimental man. At the age of 88, he has seen more than his share of friends and loved ones pass. So instead of writing weepy odes to her, she still appears as a nearly present-tense character. You’ll learn about Ruth Ann’s famed Blackberry Jam Pies, so revered that one of them commanded $3,000 at a fundraiser for Clermont Senior Services a few years back. And her delectable fried-fi sh preparation. And how she was, in every way, the love of his life. “They were inseparable,” says Gladys Lytle, who met Ruth Ann in the late 1950s. Gladys and her husband Bob got to know the Rooks better when they joined the Monroe Grange in Bethel in 1982. “We played euchre and shared outings to some historical places. We had many years of good fellowship and community service with them.” George is unlikely to admit it, but he has slowed down a bit. Besides the hip, he’s contending with prostate cancer. He has bad days, but he doesn’t let many

people see them. To most of us, he’s still that bighearted guy with suspenders and the “Jesus U” baseball cap, scootering along the W. Plane Street sidewalk. “What keeps him going is seeing people, being social, getting out and about,” said George’s daughter, Debby Redden. “The double whammy of health issues and the coronavirus has been tough. He’s a hugger. There were lots of days he was very mad at me.” But he’s gotten over it. There’s that column to do, after all. And Debby is key to making it happen. “I start writing some of it on Thursday,” he said. That’s followed by the endless phone calls; to bait shops and fi shing lakes, to farmers markets and greenhouses and friends who might have a tidbit to share. On Sunday, he’ll get more information at church. “I fi nish it up on Monday. Debby picks it up on Tuesday. I don’t know how she does it, but she puts it in a ‘puter, punches a couple of buttons and then it’s in the newspaper.” When I visited him in mid-October, we headed to Frisch’s for lunch. It’s one of George’s regular haunts. It was a gorgeous fall day and the restaurant is just 10-15 minutes away by scooter. Before we were 30 feet from his apartment door, no fewer than four people had stopped him to say “Hi.” “How you doing sweetie?” he called out to a 50-ish woman grabbing a smoke outside her apartment. “I'm here,” she replied. “I can see that,” smiled George. It’s a reassuring smile, a simple kindness to a woman whose voice belied the need for a friendly word. When George and Ruth Ann’s farm failed nearly 60 years ago, it felt like a tragedy. But in reality, it propelled them toward a life of service that came to defi ne them. They were always avid volunteers; Meals on Wheels, the adopt-a-senior program, adult daycare. Yiddish has a word for guys like George – “mensch.” It means a person who is honorable and considerate, ready to help and fi lled with integrity. That’s George. “I’ve had an interesting life,” he said during lunch. He wasn’t bragging. Maybe he was just making sure that I understood. After all, could a writer from the city
truly appreciate a life like his? He only fi nished eighth grade, after all. But what George lacks in degrees, he makes up for as a piece of living history. He remembers East Fork before it was a park, before the dam turned the river into a lake. He can tell you about the abandoned 19th century gold mines there. And a place called Irishman’s Folly. He’ll tell you about seeing a dozen hummingbirds swarming the homemade feeders on his back porch and spotting a snow owl while walking in the forest. “What bothers me is that what I’ve done all my life – wait on other people and help other people – now I can’t get out and do that. Now they’re doing it for me.” He needn’t worry. There is no shortage of people ready to return the lifetime of kindnesses he has lavished on others. George Rooks has lived a good life. There’s more to tell, of course. With George, there always is. But for now, perhaps it’s best fi nish up the way George ends his columns. “God bless all ...” he writes. And then, optimistically, he adds, “More later ...“

Ohio prep football fi nals sites TBD; soccer at Mapfre Scott Springer

COLUMBUS – The Ohio High School Athletic Association has fi nalized details for several upcoming state tournaments with boys and girls soccer remaining in Columbus, but girls volleyball shifting sites. Also, the OHSAA will be using neutral sites for the state semifi nal and championship games with those locations to be determined this week.
Soccer state championship at Mapfre Stadium In partnership with the Columbus Crew SC, the OHSAA girls and boys soccer state championship games will once again be hosted at MAPFRE Stadium in Columbus. The girls fi nals will be Friday, Nov. 13, followed by the boys' fi nals on Saturday, Nov. 14. The OHSAA applauded the Crew SC for working with the OHSAA to make it possible for the fi nals to remain at MAPFRE Stadium, where they have been since 1999. “We would like to thank the Crew SC for being such a great partner during these uncertain times,” said Kathleen Coughlin, OHSAA Director of Sport Management and soccer administrator. “Due to the attendance restrictions this year, we didn’t know if it would be possible to have our fi nals in such an outstanding venue, but the Crew SC made it happen and we couldn’t be happier to once again crown our soccer state champions at MAPFRE Stadium.” The stadium will be cleared and cleaned after each game.
Volleyball tournament to be hosted by Vandalia-Butler High School The upcoming volleyball state tournament will take a hiatus from the Nutter Center at Wright State University and be hosted by Vandalia Butler High School. In addition, the event will move to a Friday-Saturday-Sunday format (Nov. 13-15).
School will not be in session at Butler High School that Friday. “We are very thankful that Butler High School stepped forward to host our volleyball state tournament,” said Emily Gates, OHSAA Director of Sport Management and the volleyball administrator. “We look forward to our return to Wright State University in the future, but with the small number of fans who can attend this year, we needed to fi nd a smaller venue that was still an exceptional site. We found that at Butler High School and are very excited to work together on this great state tournament.” The facility will be cleared and cleaned after each match, so the state tournament schedule will be adjusted to the following: Friday, Nov. 13: Division II semifi nals at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.; Division I semifi nals at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov.14: Division IV semifi nals at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.; Division III semifi nals at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15: Division II fi nal at 9 a.m.; Division I fi nal at 12:30 p.m.; Division IV fi nal at 4 p.m.; Division III fi nal at 7:30 p.m.
Update on football playoff sites On Oct. 22, the OHSAA informed schools that the betterseeded team would determine the site for the regional fi nals, which can be at the better-seeded team’s home stadium or another site of their choosing. The Division I regional fi nals were set for Friday, Oct. 30, while the regional fi nals for Divisions II through VII are Nov. 6-7. Last week, the OHSAA were set to announce how the regions will be paired for the Division I state semifi nal games. This week, the OHSAA will announce how the regions will be paired for the state semifi nals in Divisions II through VII. The OHSAA will select neutral sites for the state semifi nal games and the state championship games. Sites will be announced as soon as possible. Of note, many traditional host sites are not available to serve as neutral sites due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
OHSAA golf year fi nishes with state tourney Alex Harrison
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Division I boys and girls wrapped up the season on Oct. 24 with one fi nal round of the 2020 high school golf season. Fans who couldn't make the event could receive updates from the Jordy Tracker. The Jordy Tracker was a Twitter account identifi ed as the "Jordan Gilkison Tracker." Gilkison, from Springboro, fi nished in a tie for fi fth place in last year's tournament but fi nished 2020 as the state champion. The Jordy Tracker sure had good reason to follow. Gilkison fi nished his two-day tourney run with a 1-over par 143, a three-stroke victory over the runner-up. After the fi rst day of the event. Gilkison was at a 72, two strokes behind the leader, but shot even for the second day. Gilkison ended the day in style with his second birdie in three holes on hole 18. Joining Gilkison in the top 10 was St. Xavier's Zack Beard, who was tied for seventh with a nine-over par 151. Bomber teammate Nolan Schuermann and Mason's Charlie Golski tied at 10th after shooting 10-over par 152. Joe Wilson from Lakota East, who was tied with Gilkison last year, shot a 154 for an 18th-place fi nish. With two top fi nishers, St. Xavier fi nished as the top local team with a third-place fi nish overall. Mason fi nished in fi fth place while Lakota East was seventh out of the 12 teams that qualifi ed. The Bombers and the Comets were only off by fi ve strokes and often had golfers fi nish side-by-side. Besides Schuermann and Golski, St. Xavier's Eric Braun and Mason's A.J. Wilhelm fi nished tied for 20th and St. Xavier's Zach Braun and Mason's Nate Vonderharr were tied for 29th place. Luke Lammers of Elder and Adam Murphy of Lakota East
LOVELAND - Since Loveland High School head girls basketball coach Darnell Parker announced on social media Oct. 29 that he has colon and liver cancer, his family and friends jumped into action to provide support and start a GoFundMe account for his medical expenses. “We would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of phone calls, texts and kind words during this diffi cult time,” his mother-in-law, Melissa McElfresh, said in a statement on behalf of his family. “Darnell is a strong, motivated and selfl ess man who faces every battle head on. Anyone who knows him will say he is always thinking and putting others fi rst. While his road will be long, he is ready to beat this! We would like for him to be able to focus on his treatment and recovery so we are asking all of you to join in his fi ght against cancer and assist in any way possible. #ParkerStrong.” A GoFundMe account is set up to raise $10,000 toward his medical expenses. Find that link here: https://bit.ly/3jI004F There are more fundraisers in the works, which the Enquirer will share as information becomes available. Parker, who took over the Loveland girls program in 2017, led the Lady Tigers to 22-4 overall and Eastern Cincinnati Conference champions at 13-1 last season. Parker was named ECC Coach of the Year and Loveland’s Jillian Hayes, now on the University of Cincinnati women’s basketball team, was Player of the Year. Prior to coaching girls at Loveland, Parker was head boys coach at Clark Montessori and Clermont Northeastern. Parker played in college at Bluff ton and in high school at Findlay for former OHSAA commissioner Jerry Snodgrass. In his social media post just after 8 p.m. Thursday, Parker wrote: To my friends and family, today will be a day I’ll never forget. Today is the day that I was offi cially diagnosed with colon and liver cancer. I’ve cried many tears and asked, “why me?’ a thousand times. The hardest part of the day was having to share this devastating news with my daughters. The look on their faces as they cried nearly killed me, but it also gave me the courage to fi ght! I can’t quit and I won’t quit! My road is long and my treatments will be aggressive but I will win. I know a lof you will call, text, or message me and I just want you to know I appreciate you! I can’t always respond, but please know it’s appreciated! For those that do already know, THANK YOU for your support has been tremenSee COACH, Page 2B

fi nished 15-over par in a tie for 25th place. On the girls side of the course, Mason improved on its fourth-place fi nish in 2019 to take the No. 2 spot in 2020. The Comets as a team shot a 627, 41-strokes behind champions New Albany. Sycamore fi nished in eighth place with a 670 team score. Eleanor Hudepohl from Ursuline Academy shot an 11-over 151, which gave her a sixth-place tie. St. Ursula's Zoe Luebbers was leading Hudepohl by a stroke after the fi rst day, but an 81 in round two gave her a 154 total and a tie for No. 16 in the state. Maddie Heister and Catherine Zhang led Mason to its high fi nish. Heister's 154 was 16th best in the state while Zhang was four positions behind after shooting 157. The Comets also had Ally Madden and Jenna Harter together in 22nd place, one stroke behind Zhang. Rounding out the top 25 in the state was Sycamore golfer Deeya Prakash with a 19-over 159.

Restaurant-style sweet and sour pork recipe is ‘pretty simple’ Restaurant-style sweet and sour pork Again, chicken works well too. A good store-bought sweet and sour sauce works well, or for a homemade sauce, check out my abouteating.com site. Ingredients Boneless pork or pork tenderloin, cut into bite size pieces and seasoned Batter for meat (recipe follows) Oil for frying (about an inch in a deep skillet) Bell pepper, cut into chunks Pineapple chunks, drained (save juice if making homemade sauce) Sweet and sour sauce Cooked rice Crispy and puffy batter coating This makes enough for about 1 pound meat. ⁄ 4 teaspoon salt
1
⁄ 3 cup flour

I was hoping to fi nd some turkey wings at the grocery to make my do-ahead freezer turkey gravy (a fl avorful gravy which can be used alone or added to turkey drippings). There weren’t any in the poultry case, but I did see some nice boneless pork chops on sale, so those went into my cart. My original thought was a simple dinner of fried pork chops, and sliced fried garden potatoes. Somehow by the time supper rolled around, the fried pork chop idea lost its appeal. So I cut the chops up into bite-sized pieces for sweet and sour pork, the kind in Chinese restaurants. I had a couple bell peppers in the refrigerator, plus a can of pineapple chunks in the pantry, and I always have rice on hand. I was good to go. Here’s the recipe and it’s pretty simple. Originally made with chicken, pork chops or pork tenderloin make good substitutions.
Whisk together salt, flour, cornstarch and baking powder. Whisk in egg, oil and water until batter is smooth.
Deep-fried pork just out of the oven.
The one thing I’ll caution you about is that the small pieces of meat cook real quick, regardless if you use pork, or chicken, so don’t overcook or they’ll tend to be dry. The batter coating puff s up as the pork fries and is golden brown and crispy. Readers weigh in: Zuppa Toscana soup: Stephen S. had this to say: “Fantastic and delicious. New favorite.” Mississippi pot roast: Dave L.’s comments: “Finally got around to making the easy version. Family absolutely loved it and they are not big fans of pot roast!”
Dip pieces in batter. Drop carefully into hot oil (350-375 degrees or until a little cube of bread fries golden in a few seconds). Fry about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and meat is cooked through. Set aside on warm platter while cooking peppers and pineapple. Remove most of the hot oil from pan (careful here), then cook peppers and pineapple a bit until peppers are crisp tender. Pour sweet and sour sauce into pan with peppers and pineapple. When sauce gets hot, add cooked pork and toss everything gently to coat. Serve with rice.

SCHOOL NEWS UC Clermont, Grant Center partnership offers innovative manufacturing engineering education UC Clermont College students are now busy learning and collaborating in the renovated computer-aided manufacturing lab at Grant Career Center in Bethel, Ohio – a setup made possible by a cutting-edge partnership between the two institutions earlier this year. Despite the pandemic, the college, which leases the space from Grant and teaches all courses with UC Clermont faculty, worked with the center to renovate the lab and met their goal for a fall launch. “The new facility is working out great,” said UC Clermont’s MET Program Coordinator Chris Goodman. “Both institutions came together, developed a good plan and executed it over summer – it worked out perfectly. We were not slowed down by COVID.” In all, 22 students are currently enrolled in UC Clermont’s Manufacturing Engineering associate degree program, and another 15 in the bachelor’s degree in Applied Administration, with a focus in Manufacturing Engineering. Students range from those taking part in College Credit Plus – an Ohio program that allows high school students to take courses for dual high school and college credit – to nontraditional students returning to further their education. Grant provides career and technical education to secondary students; Engineering Design is one of 13 career technical programs off ered at the Bethel location. “The partnership creates a unique opportunity for our high school students to not only get a jump on their college classes, but work with college students and professors deeply focused on Manufacturing Engineering Technology,” said Mike Parry, superintendent of Grant Career Center. “Through partnership, we have created new spaces, new learning environments and new educational experiences right here in Bethel on Grant Career Center’s campus.” Goodman agrees that the program and facility have the potential to open new doors for students. “This program provides a great opportunity to high school students,” Goodman said. “CCP students can actually complete a degree in this area for fi rst time, either fi nishing in high school or right after. We built something here that off ers fl exibility to serve a large variety of students.” Classes are off ered in a hybrid format, with a mix of virtual instruction and practicing hands-on skills in the lab. In-person classes are capped at 12 students, and COVID safety protocols are followed. The associate degree program prepares graduates to be hired immediately as machinists, CNC programmers, and designers, detailers and inspectors for engineering fi rms. The bachelor’s degree program builds on core manufacturing engineering experience to prepare students for leadership positions as foremen, supervisors and roles in project management and quality assurance within the fi eld. “We have a combination of a great facility, strong curriculum and good relationships with industry leaders in the area,” said Goodman, adding that he hopes to double the number of students enrolled in the next few years. Top employers for UC Clermont graduates include Milacron and L3Harris. “Manufacturing is a broad fi eld and off ers tremendous opportunity. Students are graduating and getting hired quickly. Even with the pandemic, there is still large demand for skilled workers.” For more information, visit ucclermont.edu. Amanda Chalifoux, UC Clermont College

Transitioning middle school students amid COVID By Jory Edlin Making the move from elementary to middle school is a big deal in a typical year, but in 2020 the world as we know it is Edlin diff erent and most students have been making this transition without the usual activities and support that elementary schools would traditionally off er in the springtime to help students prepare. That’s why it’s crucial that parents stay involved and engaged in their children’s fi rst year of middle school. This year in particular might bring about some unique challenges for new middle school students, and parents should be mindful of the signs of learning loss due to COVID-19 closures as well asother more transitional issues. It’s tough enough on “tweens” without having todeal with masks, hybrid learning and a new array of teachers for various subjects. Here are some suggestions for parents on how to help their middle schooler ssuccessfully ease into this new year and period of life: 1. Set up good work routines. Middle school brings a greater workload and more to keep track of, so your child needs to be able to stay organized and on task when doing homework and school whether it’s remote on in class. Encourage your child to adopt a good routine that includes a planner – a great way to keep track of assignments and due dates. The routine should also include nightly review of all to-dos and daily tidying of the home desk or workspace. Good habits should start early! 2. Fine-tune the organizational system. If your child wasn’t all thatorganized in elementary school, it’s time to get serious in middle school. Help your child develop good planner techniques (and rest assured their teachers will do the same) and keep an eye on how your student keeps track of papers and assignments in the binder and backpack. Gently step in if you notice your child regularly misplacing assignments. 3. Demonstrate how to prioritize. Just as parents prioritize household chores, middle school students face a new world of much to prioritize. It is especially more diffi cult if the youngster is coping with Attention Defi cit Hyperactivity Disorder. Help your child get the hang of it by sitting together before homework time and going over: h Homework assignments h When each subject’s homework is due (tomorrow? Later in the week? Next week? h How each homework item ranks in terms of diffi culty and estimated time tocomplete This will help your child get accus-

tomed to prioritizing work and developing a plan each day before diving in. They may even feel increased self-esteem and a new-found sense of maturity. 4. Talk about bullying. Middle school students are at a transitional age. Unfortunately, bullying does happen. Discuss with your child what bullying is (continuous harassment and humiliation) and is not (a one-off insult or someone getting left out of an invitation), how to be an upstander, and how to deal with being bullied or seeing others bullied. Your child’s school can be a valuable source of information on this subject and provide helpful guidance asneeded. 5. Put your child in charge. Now, you might be nervous about how your young one will handle this year of middle school, but repeat this to yourself: school is your child’s job, not yours. These next three or so years are critical inyour child’s academic development because by high school, self-suffi ciency is expected. Encourage your youngster to take ownership of their school work. Be on hand for help, of course, but let your child sit in the driver’s seat.
6. Monitor electronics. If your child suddenly knows the lyrics to every song by BTS, Cardi B or Drake (among many others), or has quickly moved on from Minecraft to Fortnite Battle Royale in record time, perhaps a congenial talk about balancing their new-found fun time and school work is in order. Middle school is full of change and discovery for parents and students. The parents’ role is now to help their children grow into independent, responsible students. By helping them establish solid routines and robust organizational skills, they can go far. Also, remind them to reach out to you or teachers to selfadvocate when diffi culties arise.

McNicholas High School to host paper shredding event As COVID-19 has forced us all to spend more time at home, have you noticed a surplus of paper and documents cluttering your house? Perhaps you are in the process of moving or are thinking about moving and need to get rid of unwanted paper from your house? If either of the above are true, and you’re looking to de-clutter from piles of paperwork around your house, McNicholas High School has a solution for you. On Saturday, Nov. 7, from 9 a.m. to noon, McNicholas will host a paper shredding event on its campus – 6536 Beechmont Avenue in Mt. Washington. For $20 per car, area residents can drop off up to 5 banker’s boxes / average size trash bags of paper to be shredded. All documents will be safely shredded immediately on site thanks to the help of Document Destruction Services. Simply load up your trunk with unwanted papers/documents, drive to McNicholas High School, pop your trunk, and let volunteers do the rest. COVID safety procedures will be in place.

COMMUNITY NEWS Wyler Boys & Girls Club receives books from Adopt A Book Wyler Boys & Girls Club of Greater Cincinnati members received over 553 books from the nonprofi t, Adopt A Book, for their new club in the Eastgate area. Adopt A Book serves to foster literacy and a love of reading by distributing new and gently used books to disadvantaged children. To date, they have donatedover 180,000 books to over 100 organizations, schools and programs serving children in need in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. “We are thrilled to have this new Boys & Girls Club in the area,” said Britton Martin, Club Director, “and our program will be strengthened by this gift and partnership with Adopt A Book.” Summer Tyler, the Education Coordinator for the Wyler Club, arranged for the area’s newest Boys & Girls Club to receive the donation. Tyler has beenworking with Adopt A Book for several years, assisting with publicity andcollecting over 2,000 books for the organization. “As a new club, we have many needs and limited resources to build ourclassroom libraries. I was happy to make the connection with Adopt A Book so the Wyler Club could receive this donation,” said Tyler. “We received lots of books that the children will actually enjoy reading. And, with this donation I will be able to personally experience the children reading and enjoying the books on a daily basis.” Tyler runs the Graduate program off ered by the Wyler Club. She provides fun, educational programming for children K-8. All of the children at the club will participate in DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) and story time, where the adults read stories to the members. “Literacy is a focal point of my Graduate program.These new books will enable the members to have a wide selection of readingmaterials, at various reading levels,” said Tyler. Co-founders of Adopt A Book are Hannah and Alex Laman, age 17. “I always enjoy providing books but especially now since so many students are learning remotely or have even less of an access to books” said Hannah Laman. “Iappreciate the opportunity to be able to share books with as many kids aspossible and love the kids at this club will have the opportunity to read” saidAlex Laman. Adopt A Book was nominated by the Ohio Center for the Book and was selectedas a winner of the 2020 Library of Congress State Literacy Awards Program. The organization, headquartered in Loveland, received $2,225 in recognition of their outstanding contribution to the promotion of literacy and reading in their local community and the state. Since 1939, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Cincinnati has been changing lives and building great futures for kids who need a safe and positiveplace to spend the most vulnerable times of the day - immediately after schooland at night, when supervision is often lacking and temptations are great. Through the Graduate, Fit for Life and Ready to Serve programs, children learn things in this “home away from home” that will ultimately make a diff erence intheir lives. The Wyler Club is located in Mt. Carmel at 4626 Aicholtz Road. Due to COVID-19 the Wyler Club is currently at capacity and not accepting new membersat this time. For more information, call 513-421-8909 or visit their https://bgcgc.org/. Donations to the club can be made online at www.bgcgc.org/donate or mailed to 600 Dalton Ave. Cincinnati, OH 45203.

Assistance League focuses on unmet needs of domestic abuse survivors A group of local volunteers are reacting to rising reports of domestic violence and raising funds for needed supplies in October, which is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Assistance League of Greater Cincinnati’s goal is to serve unmet needs – perhaps the overlooked details – in the community. From June 2019 to May 2020, these Assistance League programs impacted local women and children in domestic violence situations. New Beginnings: 383 women and their children were assisted in the transition from shelter to new home. Advocates for abuse survivors visit Assistance League’s facility in Bond Hill to gather items such as new bedding and cleaning supplies. The program helps them establish a safe and peaceful environment away from their abusers. Domestic Violence Kits: 464 kits were delivered to area shelters. Each kit contains new clothing and hygiene products. The goal is to ease the burden on agencies providing safe harbor for women and children. Assault Survivor Kits: 474 kits were provided to women in 40 area hospitals through law enforcement

‘Elstun Road Connector’ slated for $750,000 federal grant
Beech Acres CEO Jim Mason to retire after 42 years of service
Anderson Township’s trail system received a considerable boost with the announcement of a $750,000 federal grant for an extension of the Little Miami Scenic Trail. A section known as the ‘Elstun Road Connector” is a quarter-mile connection running from the existing sidewalk on Beechmont Avenue near Elstun Road and the Skytop Pavilion Shopping Center, to the Little Miami Scenic Trail/Beechmont Bridge widening project. This link will create a “vital connection from the redeveloping Skytop site in Anderson, and neighborhoods in Mt. Washington to several regional trails,” according to Planner Brad Bowers. Four regional multi-use trails will benefi t from the link created by the new connector. As the area becomes a “hub” for the regional trails network, the trails which the new connector will link to include the Lunken Airport Trail, the Little Miami Scenic Trail, the Otto Armleder Trail and the Ohio River Trail. With an estimated project cost of $1.6 million, Anderson Township will contribute $636,675, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is committed to add $213,324 through engineering eff orts that are ongoing, and the federal transportation award of $750,000 would go towards construction of the trail. Grant funds were supplied through the Transportation Alternatives Grant Program through the OKI Regional Council of Governments. The OKI board is committed to improving the regional transportation network in the eight-county OKI region, with $40 million provided in this round of grant funding, said OKI Board President Kris Knochelmann. The Elstun Connector adds onto the pedestrian-cyclist upgrade being constructed on the Beechmont Bridge over the Little Miami River. By the end of 2022, the bridge will sport a new designated lane on the south side that separates pedestrians and cyclists from traffi c by a concrete barrier. This will also link to the new Ohio River Trail segment, from Lunken/Salem Road to Sutton Road and Anderson’s Entertainment District, which will open in early 2021. Bowers noted that the link will add an economic boost to the redeveloping Skytop Shopping Center, which has been approved for mixed-use development. Several local businesses and about 425 households located within three-quarters of a mile of the project will benefi t from the bike and pedestrian access. Bowers said design has started, with construction commencing in 2024. Anderson Township
Jim Mason, who led Beech Acres Parenting Center through an incredible evolution of purpose and programs focused on strengthening families so children can achieve their unique potential, will retire from his role as president and CEO in June 2021 after 42 years of service to the agency. “I am very grateful for what we’ve accomplished together as staff , board, donors, and community partners,” Mason said. “And I am very enthusiastic about life’s next chapter with my wife, Debby, our three terrifi c kids, their spouses, Mason and eight fabulous grandkids. I look forward to lots of fun with family and friends, while embracing new opportunities for meaning and contribution. I leave a fi nancially strong organization with a mission-driven, innovative staff and board as the solid foundation for a new CEO to co-create new levels of impact I can’t even imagine,” Mason said. Long ago anticipating modern society’s complex and rapid changes, Mason led the former General Protestant Orphan Home through its evolution from a 19th century orphanage to the 21st century parenting center it is today. Each of several transformations under his stewardship had the eff ect of deepening and expanding its mission, while shifting the approach from fi xing children’s defi cits to building on their strengths. It was his vision that led the creation of Beech Acres’ proprietary Natural Strength Parenting model, upon which all of its individual programs are based. Natural Strength Parenting is the embodiment of Mason’s unique philosophy and provides parents and teachers with the tools to intentionally build on their child’s innate strengths by mindfully doing so. Mason has overseen the expansion of Beech Acres’ reach into the community to achieve greater impact on the lives of parents and children, which has led to solid investments in schools, health care and child welfare. The highly committed and talented team of Beech Acres staff now makes a positive impact on more than 13,000 children, parents, teachers and health care providers in Southwest Ohio each year. He also partnered with other community leaders to create numerous local, state and national coalitions designed to improve service quality for vulnerable children and their families. His leadership in the community and state of Ohio has been recognized by several groups, including the Ohio Children’s Alliance, NAMI Southwest Ohio, PreventionFIRST, and Vistage International’s CEO Lifetime Achievement Award. The Beech Acres Board of Directors will immediately begin a search process to identify the next leader of the organization.

It’s the time of year to ‘stock the freezer for winter and have a fi sh fry’ Howdy folks, I was at the Shepherd’s House the other day and they had 40 school children and they were teaching about the Lord and providing a meal. By golly the kids were having a good time. They were playing games and spending time there. The Shepherd’s House is open Tuesday through Friday. Now, on Nov. 14 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., they are having a snowman painting class. On Nov. 15, from 3-5 p.m. they are having a Norvex party. On Dec. 5, they are having a craft show starting at 9 a.m. till 3 p.m. Also you can get breakfast and lunch. The ladies that volunteer their time for the school kids are to be thanked. Today has been a busy day with several folks. I really enjoyed it. I was riding for a while and I looked in a drain pipe and thought I saw a big frog. So I backed up and the frog turned away and hopped back in the pipe. The amount of squirrels here in Bethel are plentiful. The meal on Saturday was wonderful. Paula always gets a meal along with me. She helped serve when we went inside the church. The church is so fortunate and is getting plenty of diff erent kinds of food donated for the Kitchen of Hope, and the ladies that prepare the food are to be blessed for their work. This was the fi rst day I haven’t been roaming around Bethel. It was in the 46 degree range. I sure miss being able to go over the town. I got out a little but it was good to get back in the warm room. The squirrels are sure getting plenty of food. The walnuts back here are plentiful. I have seen some with walnuts in
care of them. Start your week by praying and praising the good Lord. God bless all... More later...

I enjoy seeing the Cardinals, house fi nch, house sparrow, robins, blue birds and lots of other kinds of birds. I have been watching the World Series. If the Rays would swing their bats instead of just standing there, they would do better. The Dodgers got a home run in the fi rst inning. I don’t understand why they let the ball go by. Do you? The Clermont Senior services have a levy on the ballot this year. It is important to vote for the levy. The Senior Services do so much for the seniors. The levy will not raise your taxes. The Senior Services have diff erent services including meals on wheels, bus rides to doctors, bus rides to the hall with meals there. That is where I would go and talk to the seniors and entertain them for about an hour and a half each month. Since I fell and broke a bone in my hip, I am using two of their services. They are good. The folks that do the services are well trained and very friendly. They have so much time to serve each customer and enjoy doing this service. Clermont County is so fortunate to have Senior Services. I have been on the board for over 20 years and enjoy it. I talked to Cedar Lake and they had a tournament on Sunday, Oct. 25. There were 80 fi shermen there fi shing. The biggest fi sh so far was a 41 pound shovel head catfi sh. The lady said they will be stocking trout on Nov. 1. Sherry’s Lake is closed for the season. I talked to the Boars Head Bait Shop in Afton and Wendy said they are catching lots of crappie and plenty of channel catfi sh. She said they are buying lots of bait so the fi shing is good.

COMMUNITY NEWS Continued from Page 4B
Anderson Hospital and Miami Twp Fire & EMS launch paramedicine program to help COPD patients Mercy Health – Anderson Hospital and the Mercy Health Foundation have partnered with Clermont County’s Miami Township Fire & EMS to help Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD) patients discharged from Anderson Hospital through a Community Paramedicine pilot program. This pilot program launched in September in collaboration with AstraZeneca. Generous donors who give to the Mercy Health Foundation helped fund
the $40,000 program, which will follow 100 at-risk Miami Township COPD patients over nine months. It will test the eff ectiveness of diff erent measures such as follow-up home visits in helping reduce hospital readmissions for patients with COPD. COPD is an incurable infl ammatory lung disease and patients with COPD struggle to breathe due to emphysema and chronic bronchitis. It is a diffi cult condition to manage and despite extensive patient education eff orts, 11% of Anderson Hospital COPD patients will require hospital readmission for care. “Many of our COPD patients can’t afford home health care, struggle with transportation needs and don’t have enough support to manage their com-
plex health care needs,” said Mercy Health Foundation Senior Gift Offi cer Tricia Mullins. “Without resources, they may rely on paramedics and emergency room services for their care as their condition worsens. Our program will determine if paramedicine home visits can help our Miami Township patients manage their care eff ectively from home.” Community paramedicine is a new health care model that allows paramedics and emergency medical technicians to serve in expanded roles, bringing services to patients in the community. In addition to providing community members with important access to health care services, community paramedicine can help lower overall health
care costs by reducing visits to the emergency department for health issues. Anderson Hospital and Miami Township Fire & EMS will track the eff ectiveness of the program across the following measures: h Patient engagement h Patient satisfaction h COPD readmission rates h Number of emergency visits with COPD as primary diagnosis h Emergency Service Calls (911) Should the results prove that this approach is successful in helping COPD patients, Anderson Hospital will initiate additional partnerships with local EMS departments. Nanette Bentley, Mercy Health
