Amelia ﬂorist Wenstrup surprised by reaction to White House red trees

Maupin: Time to expand Yellow Ribbon Support Center

Sheila Vilvens Cincinnati Enquirer

Jeanne Houck Cincinnati Enquirer

Red is a Christmas color. So why did Twitter and other social media platforms erupt when First Lady Melania Trump unveiled this year’s White House Christmas trees including 45 that are ruby red? Amelia Florist Vickie Wenstrup is struggling to find an answer to this question. She was caught off-guard by the social media reaction to the red berry Christmas trees that she and a team of other volunteers labored over for three days. The reactions were unexpected and “horrible,” she said. “I don’t know who first said it. Or why,” Wenstrup recalled. “The first thing I saw (on Google) was ‘Melania Trump covers the White House in blood for Christmas.’” That certainly wasn’t how Wenstrup saw the trees which are located in the East Colonnade of the East Wing. She thought the design was perhaps inspired by the sculpted and shaped holly topiary trees in the garden that are visible outside the hallway’s windows. The garden is one of two designed by former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy, Wenstrup said. The cranberry tree that adorns the White House Red Room could have also served as an inspiration, she suggested. Whatever the idea’s source, it was not Wenstrup’s. The first lady’s team worked on that. Wenstrup and the other volunteers were there to work. For three days she, and others like her, labored to transform white styrofoam cones into the red, berry trimmed trees featured in some unflattering Twitter memes. It was hard work. Some of the volunteers taped their fingertips to protect them, Wenstrup said. No pictures were permitted during decorating, she said. On Monday, after the first lady officially unveiled the White House holiday decorations, Wenstrup and others were free to take pictures. One of several photographs Wenstrup shared on Facebook was of a 10-foot tall tree she called one of her “masterpieces.” Wenstrup has been a florist for 41 years. She began her career fresh out of Amelia High School in the very shop she now owns, Amelia Florist and Gifts. Each year HGTV airs a Christmas at the White House special. It’s a show the florist faithfully watches. More than once, Wenstrup had mentioned to her husband of 38 years, Bruce, that she would love to help decorate the White House for Christmas. “I guess he took it upon himself to make that happen,” she said. In January, Bruce Wenstrup requested letters of recommendations from clients and assembled a portfolio. He filled several binders with favorable letters and other materials promoting his wife as an ideal volunteer. He sent copies to the first lady, her chief of staff, and the head floral designer. In October Bruce Wenstrup learned that his wife had been selected. He surprised her with the news on Oct. 27 over a family dinner. Vickie Wenstrup cried. More than 7,000 people applied. About 250 volunteers were selected to decorate, according to the White House. “How do you repay somebody who gives you stuff like this. It’s a priceless gift,” Wenstrup said of her husband.

Union Township officials recently gave Keith Maupin permission to expand the Yellow Ribbon Support Center in his former garage. Maupin gave them an invitation to roll up their sleeves and help him pack some of the care packages that he and other volunteers have been sending soldiers deployed in harm’s way around the world for the past 14 years. “Anybody up here is more than welcome to come over and help me pack a box,” the folksy, full-bearded father of slain U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Matt Maupin said to the elected and administrative officials seated on a dais at a Union Township Board of Trustee meeting. “You need to do that ‘cause it’s important stuff. “There’s a lot of good causes, but I don’t think there’s too many better than what we do,” Keith Maupin said. Maupin and others started the Yellow Ribbon Support Center after his son, then 24, was taken captive by Iraqi insurgents in April 2004. In the four years before the body of Matt Maupin – a 2001graduate of Glen Este High School – was found in 2008, his father and other volunteers sent out a great many care packages that included pictures of the missing soldier with stickers on the back reading, “My name is Matt Maupin. Please place me in your Bible and prayers can set me free.” The Yellow Ribbon Support Center kept going after Maupin’s body was returned to his family. A few years later, Keith Maupin told Union Township officials, a young man delivered the news that the rent for space at a township strip mall where the support center was operating was being raised from $800 a month to $2,654 a month. “We will omit that conversation I had with that young man,” Maupin said. The Clermont County man and his volunteers packed up the Yellow Ribbon Support Center in 2013and moved it into the garage at his home on Mount Carmel Tobasco Road. But the support center has outgrown the space, Maupin said in defense of his successful request for permission to build a 1,600-square-foot addition to his garage. That will give the Yellow Ribbon Support Center a total of 2,640 square feet of elbow room. “They redid the garage so we could use that for the center, but we’ve got so much stuff coming in,” Maupin said.Over the years, the Yellow Ribbon Support Center has mailed more than 26,000 packages of food and reading and entertainment materials to individual soldiers.

Highlights? Everything! There were many highlights from her visit to the White House, Wenstrup said. Two stand out above all others, however. One highlight came Sunday morning, Wenstrup’s third day of tree decorating. That’s when they brought in the gingerbread house they make yearly. “It’s a huge undertaking,” Wenstrup said. “Just to

witness that come in through the doors. We were all lined up and they wheeled it past us and everybody was applauding and cheering... It just made me cry. It’s just something you never think you’re going to see in person.” The second highlight was an impromptu opportunity to visit the White House flower shop. A White House staffer Wenstrup talked with at length with over breakfast one morning made this dream a reality. Since returning home, Wenstrup said she’s been overwhelmed by her new celebrity status. People, both local and from out-of-state, are calling and stopping by the shop to congratulate and thank her. Wenstrup said she’s honored but surprised. She’s uncertain how word got out about her involvement with the White House Christmas decorations. Wenstrup attributed some of the attention to an announcement on the Village of Amelia Facebook page that told of her selection as a volunteer ahead of the trip. During a council meeting, Wenstrup was presented with a proclamation by Amelia Council and a Certificate of Congressional Recognition from a representative of Congressman Brad Wenstrup’s office. For those who are wondering, Bruce and Brad Wenstrup might be distantly related. They’re uncertain. They had never met until recently, Vickie Wenstrup said. The theme for this year’s White House Christmas is American Treasures, which honors America’s heritage. First Lady Melania Trump is credited with the design of this year’s Christmas decorations. “This is a joyous time of year when we decorate the White House for the Christmas season,” Melania Trump said in a statement. “Our theme honors the heart and spirit of the American people. Thank you to the many volunteers and staff who worked hard to decorate the halls of the People’s House in Christmas cheer. On behalf of my family, we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.” In addition to the red berry trees, the White House decorations include 14,000 red ornaments hanging from 29 trees in the Grand Foyer, a giant gingerbread house depicting the National Mall, and the official White House Christmas tree decorated in blue velvet ribbon embroidered in gold with names of each state and territory.

Martha Dorsey remembered as ‘exemplary public servant’ Sheila Vilvens Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Martha Dorsey was a true trailblazer in Clermont County. She was the first woman elected to serve as a county commissioner. She served for 16 years from 1987 to 2002. So popular and influential, the Clermont County Chamber of Commerce named one of its Pacesetter awards after her. The Martha Dorsey Pacesetter Award, established in 2001, is presented to a past public official whose leadership improved the economic vitality of the county and whose accomplishments brought favorable attention to the community. Martha Harris Dorsey died Thanksgiving Day at the Forest Hills Care Center. She was 88. During her time as commissioner, Dorsey was recognized for her leadership and character by numer-

ous organizations including the Clermont County Community Chest, the Ohio Legislature, and the National Association of Regional Councils. Martha She was also the forDorsey mer president of the Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana Regional Council of Governments and the former president for the state of Ohio County Commissioners. “She was one of those elected oﬃcials who was in it for all the right reasons,” said longtime friend Clermont County Auditor Linda Fraley. Dorsey raised four children and, for a time, was on public assistance, she said. She never forgot where she came from. “She worked her way up. She had a heart for people. She didn’t make any decisions as a county commissioner without thinking about the people,” Fraley said.

For example, at one point Clermont County had a water crisis, she said. The county couldn’t get water to the residents of Miami Township. Dorsey was instrumental in the county gaining access to Harsha Lake to meet water needs, she said. In a day before cellphones, text messages and easy access to email, Dorsey traveled with a stack of index cards, Fraley said. When approached by a citizen with a question or a problem, Dorsey would write the information down on an index card and follow up later with the indi-

She actually cared.” Clermont County Commissioner President Ed Humphrey called Dorsey an “exemplary public servant.Dorsey was preceded in death by her husband, Robert L. Dorsey.

"Despite his great personal loss of his son Matt, Keith Maupin still gives back to the community and makes a diﬀerence to those serving overseas.” Visit yellowribbonsupportcenter.com for more information about the Yellow Ribbon Support Center or to donate and volunteer.

Edible gifts ﬁt for a party Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Reality hit me yesterday when I moved the gourds and pumpkins into the garage to winter over for seeds and removed the stalks of broom corn decorating the fence row. Later, the kids came over and helped string outdoor Christmas lights on the trees. Yes, Christmas is coming up fast! I wanted to share a couple of really good, tried and true recipes for your holiday party or for giving as homemade gifts. Maybe you’d like to try the hot fudge peppermint sauce. It originated in Gourmet magazine and took oﬀ from there as it won fans. If you’re in the mood for savory with a bit of a kick, take some time to make the curried party mix. It’s from Janet Hontanosas, a Symmes township reader. Janet and I taught cooking classes for years, and the party mix was a student favorite. 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.

Hot curried party mix Pack these into Chinese takeout containers for gift giving. Ingredients

2 teaspoons sugar Up to 3⁄4 teaspoon cayenne, to taste ⁄4 teaspoon salt

6 cups Chex cereals (rice, whole grain and corn) 2 cups sesame sticks 2 cups small pretzels 1 cup pecans 1 cup roasted peanuts 6 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 generous tablespoon soy sauce 11⁄2 tablespoons curry powder

Instructions Preheat oven to 250. Toss together the ﬁrst 5 ingredients. Melt the butter with soy sauce over low heat. Whisk in remaining ingredients. Drizzle butter mixture over cereal mixture, tossing well. Spread in shallow roasting pan. Bake 45-60 minutes and cool completely before storing at room temperature, covered, up to 1 month. Makes 12 cups.

Gourmet magazine published this hot fudge peppermint sauce years ago, and it has since become a favorite. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Hot fudge peppermint sauce

Similar to what Williams Sonoma used to sell. This recipe calls for Dutch processed cocoa. Sometimes it’s called Dutched or European style cocoa. It differs from regular cocoa since Dutch is treated with an alkali to neutralize its acidity. What this does is smooths and mellows the cocoa flavor and darkens the color. If all you have is regular cocoa, go ahead and use that.

Viewpoints Help respond to the needs of mass shooting victims Kristen Wevers Guest Columnist Community Press USA TODAY NETWORK – REGION

Months have passed since the tragic shooting at Fountain Square on Sept. 6, but the events of that day remain very poignant and clear. The sound of shots and sirens. The quick and brave actions of ﬁrst responders. The yellow tape surrounding Fountain Square. The feelings of fear, shock and uncertainty. What stands out most, however, is how the people of Cincinnati came together as a uniﬁed, strong and resilient community in the face of utter tragedy. Together, we honored the memory of those who were killed and the indomitable spirit of those who survived. We rallied around each other with "Cincinnati Strong" as our battle cry. Despite our collective strength, we know that the Cincinnati community is still grieving and recovering. The emotional trauma caused by experiencing such an attack is something many continue to face in their daily lives. The impacts are often sustained and unseen, ranging from anxiety and depression to grief and PTSD, but they are serious and real.

The Cincinnati Strong Victims Fund was created to help the Cincinnati community recover together, and it is modeled after similar efforts in other communities affected by gun violence, including Las Vegas. People from across our region and nation have demonstrated great compassion, support and generosity by donating to the fund, which will benefit those who were directly affected by the attack and its aftermath. The fund is designed to help provide solace and comfort to people impacted by the attack and to help them regain some of the control that was taken on Sept. 6. Strength often means acknowledging our weaknesses and having the courage to seek support. We encourage those who have been personally affected by the shooting at Fountain Square to apply to be a recipient of the Cincinnati Strong Victims Fund at www.nationalcompassionfund.org. Applications must be submitted by Dec. 10 and funds will be distributed in January. For some, recovering from victimization means taking action in some way. The Cincinnati Strong Victims Fund is accepting donations throughout November to aid in our community’s recovery effort. Donations can be made at www.nationalcompassionfund.org. As the Cincinnati Strong Victims Fund Steering Committee, it is our mission to fairly administer these funds for the direct ben-

efit of the victims. The protocol for doing so can also be found at the same website. The terror inflicted upon our community on Sept. 6 affected us all. Together, through this effort, the Cincinnati community can continue to rise from tragedy, heal and grow. Together, we are Cincinnati Strong. Kristen Wevers is chair of the Cincinnati Strong Victims Fund Steering Committee and senior vice president and chief marketing and communications officer for UC Health. She writes this on behalf of the committee which includes: Debbie Brooks, executive vice president of the YWCA of Greater Cincinnati; Stephanie Byrd, CEO of the American Red Cross of Greater Cincinnati and Dayton; Julie Calvert, CEO of the Cincinnati Convention and Visitors Bureau; Scott Carroll, attorney with Jackson Lewis; Dr. Kathleen Chard, director of Trauma Recovery Center for U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs; Heidi Jark, managing director of the Foundation Office at Fifth Third Bank; Marilyn Maag, attorney with Porter Wright Morris & Arthur; Nancy Pinckney, senior vice president for human capital business consulting at Fifth Third Bank; Dr. Tim Pritts, chief of the section of general surgery at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine; Lisa Sauer, vice president of product supply for Procter & Gamble Co.; and Teresa Tanner, chief administrative officer of Fifth Third Bank.

Sports Batavia’s Moell dedicated season to late grandfather Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

BATAVIA - It is no surprise that Batavia senior quarterback and linebacker Kaleb Moell might consider coaching football down the road. Moell’s been around it all of his life. First learning the game’s ins-and-outs by tossing the pigskin in his backyard with his grandfather, Ken Osborne, a coaching legend in Clermont County after 36 seasons at Williamsburg High School (plus a one-year stint at Goshen) and 207 total wins, which ranks 51st all-time in Ohio. But Moell’s final season of football was unlike any other. For the first time, Osborne wasn’t in the stands eagerly watching and critiquing his grandson command both sides of the ball for the Bulldogs. Osborne died after a seven-year battle with Parkinson’s Disease Aug. 10, just two weeks before Moell was to lead Batavia in its season-opener on the road at the same school where Osborne spent nearly half his life. The decision was clear for Moell, who is finally healthy after a chain of injuries (fractured elbow, torn MCL) slashed his first three seasons short: he would dedicate his last season to his grandfather. “He (Osborne) basically taught me everything I knew about football. He first taught me how to throw it, where to put my hands. Then it evolved when I got older to running defenses and knowing where the defenders are and even working on our offense we used to run in youth,” Moell said. “He’s been my life coach throughout. It was hard when he passed, so I just figured I’d do something for him.” That night against Williamsburg, Moell threw a touchdown, ran for another and piled up a game-high 21 tackles to lead the Bulldogs to a 14-6 win over his grandpa’s former team. The victory also birthed a new pre-game ritual for Moell. “I always kneel on the 25-yard line. I feel like it’s away from everybody and it gives me a second to myself to say a little prayer to him up there,” he said. Moell never got to have his grandfather as his head coach; just the one-onone sessions in the backyard since they lived on the same street growing up. But he’s heard 40 years of stories, from which he learned how his grandfather was a father-figure to his players first and a coach second. “All I hear is great things. He was a great coach who was always there for his players,” Moell said. That’s why Moell gives back, spending his summers as an instructor at the Clermont County Reds Rookie Success League, something he believes would make his grandfather proud. “It means a lot to get to work there. I love working with the kids. I’m teaching them how to play the game, to build character and to be leaders. I definitely got that from him,” Moell said. Batavia second-year head coach Scott Donaldson has known Moell since he was in elementary school and believes the bond with his grandfather shaped him into the player and person he is today. “He’s a great kid, great family, all the way around,” Donaldson said. “Obviously when Kaleb started playing football, of course, his grandpa is gonna take an interest in it. There’s a lot that Kaleb absorbed from him, and I think that was a good bond between them to where they could bond together over football and other sports.”

UC junior long snapper Zach Wood THANKS TO THE UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI

Long snapper Zach Wood has battled hard to be unrecognized Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Movie genre: Action

The University of Cincinnati recently had a dramatic overtime win at Southern Methodist University on an interception by James Wiggins for a touchdown. To reach that moment, Bearcats kicker Cole Smith had to make three field goals to tie the game (SMU had called timeout right before his first two kicks). While Smith deserves the headlines for his heroics, there were two other key Bearcats involved in the play. Smith’s holder is another Smith, punter James Smith who must put the ball down quickly for Cole Smith to launch. The play starts with No. 59 on the Bearcats who with defensive linemen breathing down his throat, must thrust the ball through his legs on a spiral to the holder quick enough to prevent the opposition from getting their hands on the object about to be soaring toward the goalpost. UC No. 59 is Zach Wood, who like many Bearcat long snappers before him, is a local kid. “We do it so many times in practice,” Wood said shrugging off the feat at SMU. “Coach Fick (Luke Fickell) and Coach Mason (Brian Mason, special teams) put so much pressure on us at practice that during the game it almost seems like its easier. It wasn’t that bad.” Wood’s circuitous route to the University of Cincinnati starts in Williamsburg, just up Route 32 from the Eastgate area. From there, he initially went to St. Xavier, then transferred closer to home to McNicholas, where he was a Second Team All-Greater Catholic League-Coed offensive lineman in addition to his backward passing talents while in a stance. He started his college career at Marshall where he played a few games, then eventually transferred back home to be a Bearcat. Playing pee-wee football for his father, Wood became the center and snapper by default as everyone else wanted to be quarterback. In middle school and high school, he began attending camps to gain more command of the talent which is a unique niche for most. At his first UC camp in sixth grade, he couldn’t even propel the pigskin15 yards. Eventually, he perfected it to the point where he

UC Clermont women’s soccer team wins National The UC Clermont College women’s soccer team defeated Penn State Brandywine 2-0 on in Virginia Beach to win the 2018 United States Collegiate Athletic Association Women’s Division 2 Soccer National Championship. The national title is the first for the UC Clermont women’s soccer program. The shut-out caps off an exceptionally strong year for the Cougars, who ended the season with a record of 14-2. UC Clermont received a goal and an assist in the championship game from junior striker Taylor Greene, including the game’s first score on a rebound before the end of the first half. Sophomore striker Kat Richey also had one goal, and the Cougars took a 2-0 lead into halftime. Junior goalkeeper Anna Tessof blocked three shots to keep Penn State off the board, and Coach Blaine Callahan credited sophomore Taylor Mallucky with goal-scoring throughout the tournament and freshmen with stepping up to help. But while outstanding individual talent was crucial, Callahan said that the tournament success was a team effort. “We prepared well in the lead-up to the national championship game and came up with a strategy to be successful,” he said. “It was so nice to see it all come together in what was arguably our best game in a great season.

(SMU) Coach Fick deﬁnitely appreciated the snaps and the holds from Jimmy (Smith) and Cole’s kicks for sure.” Wood’s toughness has been rewarded with opportunity, but it has come with a test. Prior to UC’s game with Alabama A&M, Wood was declared out after having an appendecto-

my the Thursday before the game. Amazingly, that was the only game he missed. “They thought I would be three to four weeks out,” Wood said. “Before the OU game, Thursday (a week after surgery) I was feeling much better. Right before the game, an hour before, the doctors cleared me to snap. They said I could snap as long as I didn’t get hit.” Wood played the game and continues to exhibit the toughness Luke Fickell expects in a player. The ultimate reward came recently when the junior was recognized with a full football scholarship for his often unsung eﬀorts. “It means a lot,” Wood said. “It tells the coaches really appreciate all the hard work I’ve put in. I really appreciate them doing that for me.” The Wood family now has an oﬃcial tailgate along the UC “Catwalk”, the green space the Bearcats walk through as they enter Nippert for a game. You may not hear No. 59 announced over the PA system, but Zach Wood is a key part of the Fickell turnaround of 2018.

Winter is here to stay, get ready for the cold weather and snow Ole Fisherman George Rooks Guest columnist

Howdy folks. Winter is here. As I write this the ground is covered with snow. It doesn’t seem like we are ready for the cold weather and snow but here it is. Paula and I next week go shopping for the senior Christmas presents. One from the Bethel Lions, one from the Monroe Grange and one from me. The folks that we are shopping for, I got from the Senior Citizens oﬃce on Front Wheel Drive above Batavia. We will get their wish list, wrap the presents, take them to the Senior Services oﬃce, and then they will be delivered to the folks by volunteers. We do this every year. It is important to honor the senior citizens that are alone. This is the special time of the year to be checking on your neighbors if they are sick or need help. The Clermont Senior Services have several programs including home care, housing, and meals on wheels. Ruth Ann and I use to deliver the meals on wheels several years ago. I got a letter from my dear friend Miss Gloria. Their church, the Laura United Methodist Church is hosting a carry in meal at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 8, with a sing-along afterward. Then on Tuesday, at 7 p.m., Dec. 11, they will have an interfaith advent service so mark your calendar.

Was talking to Mike at the Boars Head Bait Shop in Afton and he said last Sunday there were lots of deer harvested. The fishing on Saturday was great with lots of crappie, bass, stripers, catfish and of course, my favorite bluegills being caught. The fisherman and deer hunters had a great day. I saw it in a paper about deer crashes and how they climb in November. The article gave several counties’ statistics including Stark with 501 accidents, Richland 450, Clermont 444, Trumbull 435, Hamilton 418, Loraine 405, Hancock 405, Allen 391, Wood 385 and Tuscarawas 377. Last November there were nearly 4,000 deer crashes. That’s a lot of damage. The deer are most active at dawn and dusk. It helps to keep the lights on bright when you can. There have been a couple folks killed by deer as far as I know so be careful. The car or truck can be fixed but not your life. There have been several craft shows this fall. I haven’t been able to enter two of them, ones in Russellville and Goshen. There is one at the Shepherd’s Place here in Bethel which will be over by the time you read this, but I will set up in that one. Mr. Chester (cat) is doing fine. He’s on the register after being outside. Start your week by going to the house of worship of your choice and praising the good Lord. God bless all . . . More later . . .
