Expenses to be cut By Kellie Geist

kgeist@communitypress.com

The Milford Community Fire Department will be asking residents for their support this November, but it won’t cost taxpayers any additional money. The department’s existing 5.3mill, five-year fire levy will expire at the end of 2009. Since the Milford Community Fire Department is funded solely by levy funds, they will be turning to residents to renew the levy at the existing millage for three years. Typically, the department requests a five-year levy with a

slight increase to account for increased costs and inflation. “We feel we’ll be able to get through the next three years with the same amount of money. We hope within three years things will turn around and we’ll feel more comfortable asking people for additional funding,” said Fire Chief John Cooper. Milford City Council June 2 voted to have Law Director Mike Minniear draft the paperwork to put a levy on the ballot. If council approves the levy at the meeting July 7 the issue should be on the ballot Nov. 3. “Not only does the fire department provide excellent service ...

They also are very much involved in the community,” said Mayor David Hunter. “The fact that they are not asking for more money in today’s economy is a good thing. It’s a bargain for what we get.” To stay within the current budget for the next three years, the fire department will have to make some cuts. This year, the department will not give raises for the second year and will work to eliminate overtime. They also may not fill some open shifts and will not schedule extra staff. “We understand the issues and how things are right now, so we’re willing to make the cuts,” Cooper said. “Milford is a great

place to be and the community has always been very supportive. If we can make it without asking for more money, we need to do that.” “This is our time to shine,” Cooper said. Employees and supporters of the Milford Community Fire Department will be going door to door to seek votes and Cooper said someone would be available to speak at meetings or to groups if asked. If they levy should fail, Cooper said the fire department would have enough carry-over funding to support them at their current level for about six months.

Milford fire seeks renewal

Corey Nickell never met a stranger. “He was a happy baby who just loved everybody ... When he got older, even if he only knew you for two minutes, when he left he would say ‘Bye, love you,’” said his mom, Debra Nickell. Corey, a local hero and a familiar name in many Clermont County homes, lost his battle against neuroblastoma cancer in May. Corey was diagnosed Feb. 9, 2007, after his parents noticed his belly was swollen and he had a lump behind his ear. “We thought he just had a typical toddler belly until it was unusually large ... The morning he had a doctor’s appointment, he woke up screaming, just screaming in pain,” Debra said. After lab work and scans, doctor’s confirmed that it was some type of childhood cancer. The situation was so grim Corey started chemotherapy before the official diagnosis. “He had four tumors and every bone in his body was full of can-

cer, but you would never know it,” Debra said. “He was stronger and more courageous than anyone I’ve ever known.” Nickell In December 2007, Corey was cancer free and a “happy little dude,” as Jim puts it. Ten months later, in October 2008, Corey fought two more tumors before being pronounced cancer-free again in March. But in early April, Corey woke up one day in so much pain he couldn’t walk. They returned to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. The cancer was back. “We asked if there was anything else we could do, if more chemo (therapy) would do any good, but the doctors said he wasn’t going to get any better. We had to let him go to cruise with his little buddies,” Jim said, looking to Heaven. Corey died May 8, 27 days before his fifth birthday. “I believe he was an angel sent

Life isn’t about how many years you live, it’s about what you accomplish in those years and Corey accomplished a lot,” Jim said. “I hope his story makes other parents hold their kids a little tighter and love them a little more.” Looking back, Debra and Jim, a Milford firefighter, are grateful for all the support. “They have been there for us 100 percent. A family never wants to be in this position, ever, but the community and the fire department bent over backwards for us,” Jim said. “We met a lot of families in the hospital who didn’t have that kind of support. We are so thankful.” The Milford fire department

held fundraisers and helped build Corey’s Make a Wish room. Nearby fire departments sent someone to Milford to cover Jim’s shifts. Community members made donations and hosted fundraisers. Corey was the grand marshal of the 2008 Frontier Days Parade. While the community helps the Nickells, the Nickells are helping others. Debra teamed up with a mother she met at Children’s to create Rally ’Round the Gold Ribbon, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and money for childhood cancer research.

Miami Township Trustee Mary Makley Wolff hugs former Miami Township Police Officer Ed Schmid after he was honored at the Tuesday, May 19, meeting. Highlights of his career include spending a week in New Orleans to help patrol after Hurricane Katrina and orchestrating former President George W. Bush’s trip to an Indian Hill house for a fundraiser. “Being on the life search and rescue team in New Orleans was something you cannot forget,” he said. “The devastation we saw was unbelievable.” Schmid was honored at the Tuesday, May 19, Miami Township trustees meeting after two new officers were sworn in. He said he would advise the young officers to get a college degree and to consider being a police officer a career and not just a job. “The best thing is to real-

ly trust your common sense and pay attention to body language when dealing with suspects,” he said. “The biggest thing a new officer needs to secure is a good understanding of common sense in dealing with the public.” Though he will be busy with the farm and part-time work for the Fayetteville Police Department, Schmid said he will miss his coworkers at the Miami Township Police Department. “The hardest part of my job was when I walked out there on my last day,” he said. “It’s kind of like a weird book where I am closing one chapter and starting a new one, but I’ll miss Miami Township. It was fantastic.”

Former Miami Township Police Officer Ed Schmid no longer spends his days tracking down suspects and enforcing traffic laws. Instead, he’s working as a farm hand on an apple orchard near his Midland home. “Right now I’m in the blazing sun picking strawberries, but I don’t have to worry about anyone shooting at me,” he said. Schmid recently retired from service after 28 years with the Miami Township Police Department and is only the second officer in the department’s history to do so because of seniority rather than injury. “He stuck with it because he loved it,” said Miami Township Police Chief Steve Bailey. “He had many years of perfect attendance and was so dedicated to his job, he never complained.” During his time with the department, Schmid served as a field training officer, inservice instructor and firearms instructor. “In the final years of his career, Officer Schmid has served as a community policing officer and a crime prevention officer,” said Community Relations Director Tim Pennington. “In this assignment he has organized many Neighborhood Watch Programs in Miami Township.”

nominating OPI for the award. “OPI utilized numerous forms of media to create community awareness about the situation. The results were amazing. We were able to match 187 seniors with donors, assemble 180 gift bags for seniors from the supply pantry, provide more than $2,000 in gift cards, and add $4,710 to our senior emer-

gency fund. OPI Director Kathy Lehr and her staff members Rebecca Kimble and Jeff Pulliam, truly show the Clermont Senior Services’ service with heart spirit.” Lehr’s son, Ryan, was also recognized for the award, for organizing the Glen Este Boys Basketball Team collection drive for the Adopt-ASenior program.

mile from where the St. Columban Catholic Church stands today. “They used it as their church from 1859 until 1893,” said Chad Drinnen, St. Columban teacher and unofficial church historian. “In 1891 they put the cornerstone down for the first ‘official church’ they built. That’s the one on Broadway from 1891 until 1961.” They’ve grown from a small foundation of faithful worshippers to nearly 2,000 families and 700 school children today. The parish has been honoring parishioners from each decade in monthly celebrations throughout 2009. Maxine Bodley is celebrating 88 years as a parishioner. “I have lots of memories,” she said. “Fr. Auer was a hard taskmaster. We had to keep the church immaculate. Down on Broadway, that’s where all my kids were baptized.” Her cousin, George Wolbers, has been at St. Columban for 77 of the 150 years

News BRIEFLY Electric restored

JACKSON TWP. – A portion of U.S. 50 in Jackson Township was closed Sunday afternoon into Monday morning after a heavy storm swept through the area. Heavy winds, rains and hail caused a couple of trees to knock down three poles and power lines about 4 p.m. Sunday, June 14, on U.S. 50 between Aber Road and Bucktown Road, according to the Clermont County Department of Public Safety Services. The road reopened at around 8:30 a.m. Monday, June 15. While this incident caused some power outages, electric crews worked to restore power to 3,500 customers, mostly in Brown County, Sunday night. Those numbers were down to 67 by 8:30 a.m. Monday. According to the National Weather Service, most of the heavy rain hit Butler County.

Dump the pump

CLERMONT COUNTY – The county commissioners declared Thursday, June 18, as Dump the Pump Day in Clermont County. “We’d like to encourage people to ride public transportation as a way to save money, protect the environment, reduce our dependence on foreign oil and to improve the quality of life,” said Commissioner Ed Humphrey. “As an incentive to park your car and ride the bus, Clermont Transportation Connection (CTC) will offer county citizens free rides on all fixed routes.” This is the fourth annual Dump the Pump Day, sponsored by the American Public Transit Association. The organization estimates that people who ride public transportation can save more than $8,000 a year, based on parking and gas costs. “We are seeing an increasing number of people choose to park their cars and ride CTC, especially on our fixed routes from New Richmond and Amelia to downtown Cincinnati and the Milford-Miami Township-Goshen route,” said CTC

Director Ben Capelle. “By offering free fares on the fixed routes on June 18, we hope that more people will discover the benefits of riding the bus to work, doctor’s appointments and shopping.” Public transportation saves the United States the equivalent of 4.2-billion gallons of gasoline annually and saves the equivalent of 900,000 automobile fill-ups every day.

Series of meetings to deal with mental illness By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

Mental illness often carries a stigma that makes it difficult for sufferers to seek help. Phoenix Place in Amelia is opening its doors for a series of meetings in June to explain how the agency operates for those who suffer from mental illness, as well as their families, friends and employers. Program Coordinator Rod Glover said Phoenix Place is a consumer-oriented agency aimed at aiding in the recovery of persons suffering from mental illness. This is done through group meetings and educational programs in group settings. Phoenix Place does not provide medical treatment, but works with agencies that do. It is funded by the Clermont County Mental Health and Rehabilitation Board. Glover said Phoenix Place realized there was a “tremendous amount of people out there with mental illness who have not

been diagnosed or have been diagnosed improperly.” In addition, there is a stigma attached to mental illness that makes many reluctant to seek help, he said. To reach these people, Phoenix Place scheduled meetings for three Tuesdays in June, from 1-4 p.m. at the agency at 4 Cecelia Drive in Amelia. The first meeting was conducted June 2 and dealt with people who are living with mental illness. A meeting on June 9 is aimed at family, employers and members of the community and how they deal with mental illness sufferers. The third meeting on June 16 will try to bring all the issues together. Glover said the mission of Phoenix Place is ongoing and those who can’t make the meetings are welcome to stop by the center. It is open Monday-Friday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. “We hope we will be able to reach out to folks in need of help,” Glover said.

Special board meeting

The figures must be sent to the Clermont County Auditor’s Office by the end of the month, Shinkle said. Also, the time of the next regular meeting is changed to 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 13, at the high school, 6707 Goshen Road.

Clermont Home Builders to raffle home By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com

The Clermont Home Builders Association is offering the chance to purchase a $450,000 home for only $100. The 2,680-square-foot home in the Reserves of Greycliff subdivision off Ohio 131 is being raffled off by the association to raise money for the Ruth Lyons Children’s Fund. “We just wanted to do something for the community and the Ruth Lyons Children’s Fund is a great local charity we’ve been

Raffle tickets are available for $100 at any Sibcy Cline Realtor office, wlwt.com or by calling 4125007 and people can purchase as many tickets as they want, Feck said. Aside from walk-in closets, three bedrooms, twoand-a-half bathrooms and a

three-car garage, the house also comes equipped with a geothermal HVAC system. “It’s a great opportunity to buy a beautiful custom home for only $100,” Feck said. Lisa Snow, coordinator of the Ruth Lyons Children’s Fund, said the raffle offers the opportunity for a younger generation to learn about Lyons. “We’re really excited because we’re trying to maintain her legacy and with the Clermont Home Builders coming to us with this new idea, it’s helping us

of Goshen, the ride will start at Kings Island June 21 and end at the Kentucky Speedway, where each motorcycle will have the opportunity to take three laps on the track. Then, there will be a photo shoot with all of the riders on their bikes on pit road. Sears said one key to a good ride in a big group is to be seen. “It’s like a parade,” Sears said. “The fact that (people) see this many people got together for an event is pretty neat.” Sears said he has been riding since 1982 and has been involved in many charity rides. He organized this ride to help his friend Matt Brennan of Loveland, who founded the Cincinnati Center for Autism (CCA) and has a 9year-old autistic son. Sears said the people he knows who ride are businessmen, fathers and grandfathers. “A lot of times, they get kind of a bad assumption of the type of person that they

like this, we anticipate a big amount of support.” Sears said he is expecting about 2,000 people to register. They are drawing riders from Louisville, Lexington, Cincinnati and Dayton. Sears said they are hoping to raise almost $50,000. The money will go to CCA and be redistributed in the form of scholarships for children to go to the center. Once at the Kentucky Speedway, there will be food, music and prizes. Sears said the bands, including the Sonny Moorman Group, 80 Proof and Dallas Moore, were more than willing to donate their time since they are indirectly affected by autism. “These guys were all over this,” Sears said. The Kentucky Speedway used to do a ride for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, but stopped two years ago, according to Sears. “I’ve been on that ride and it’s a lot of fun, but it has to be something that’s well-coordinated,” Sears said. “We decided to pick it up.” Sears said the speedway loved participating in it because it promotes the speedway and shows the community their association with local charities. Sears said the hope is to generate enough interest and educate people about autism so they can make the ride a yearly event. “The key to having a ride like this that will have longevity is every year you’ve got to add something to it to make it more interesting than the previous year,” Sears said. Brennan said he founded CCA with the purpose of helping other families. “There weren’t avenues available for education to help autistic children,” Sears said. “(Brennan) saw the need for something and created it.” Since it was founded in 2003, CCA has grown and now has 13 full-time staff members, Brennan said. It treats about 100 children per year and has about 60 families at any one time. Brennan said they normally have one big charity function each year, called the “Night Under the Stars.” It raised about $25,000 this year. “The money that we raise we give away in scholarships to the center because a lot of the treatments are so expensive,” Brennan said. Sears said it has been amazing to see how many motorcycle riders have been directly or indirectly affected by autism. “It’s almost across the board,” Brennan said. “At the end of the day, we’re all just fighting this uphill battle trying to figure out what to do.”

Goshen supports Strickland’s school plan By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

The Goshen Board of Education has passed a resolution supporting Gov. Ted Strickland’s education plan, which is now being debated in the Ohio Legislature. The resolution, passed on a 50 vote by the board at its June 8 meeting, came at the urging of Bev Clark, a teacher at Spaulding Elementary School and a member of the board of directors of the Ohio Education Association. Clark said there was a lot of misinformation out about the plan and the legislators working on the plan needed to hear from the schools. “We would appreciate some support,” Clark said. “It’s time we did what’s best for Ohio.” Superintendent Charlene Thomas said a lot of school board’s are passing resolutions in support. She suggested a “fairly general resolution” of support, rather than getting into specifics. Clark was pleased with the board’s action. “It’s awesome,” she said.

Strickland’s plan includes proposals to increase school funding and lengthen the school year. Board Member Sue Steele said she felt the board’s action was meant to show support for a state school funding plan, and was not an endorsement of all of Strickland’s proposals. An equitable state funding plan was important so districts don’t have to keep going back to the taxpayers for money, she said. She also said she strongly supported Strickland’s proposal to fund all-day kindergarten, something that Goshen already has. However, she was hesitant to support other parts of the plan, including adding days to the school calendar and overhauling the state testing program. She said she has read “quite a bit” of the governor’s plan – which she said was 56 pages long. Board Member George Rise said he had not read the entire plan. He said he supports the basic concept of the plan, but not everything in it.

Concrete walls are being installed at Milford High School’s new ninth-grade wing.

Milford HS construction ramps up this summer With the end of the school year, the pace at the Milford High School construction site is ramping up. Superintendent Bob Farrell said the construction team is on track to begin interior renovations, reroofing and mechanical systems upgrades in early June. These changes to the high school will save the district about $150,000 a year in operating costs, Farrell said. Building layout has started in the school’s new cafeteria, kitchen and mechanical room areas with piping, plumbing and electrical work progressing as well. A new paved road also is being built behind the school. Excavation has begun on a detention basin, new storm systems and a clay berm, Farrell said. With students preparing to leave for the summer, workers will be able to get more work done faster, Farrell said. “Manufacturing of steel beams and columns ... and many other construction materials is progressing as the pace of the job is soon to increase throughout the summer months,” he said. Block walls have been installed in the new ninth-grade wing as part of the school’s ongoing construction and renovation project. The building’s floor will be

installed in early July, followed by second-floor walls in mid July. Structural steel work will begin in August with roofing work in September. Sanitary and storm slab plumbing also is being installed with electrical conduits in the new music, cafeteria, kitchen and mechanical room additions. Concrete slabs for those rooms will be poured later this month. Foundations for the cafeteria, kitchen and mechanical rooms have been laid with foundation for the new music addition nearing completion. Work on the high school’s new roof also has started with athletic wing renovations underway as well. Additional fire protection and sprinkler installation is expected to start this week, but the HVAC mechanical system upgrade already has begun. “This work will be completed this summer and will save the school district a considerable amount per year in operating costs,” said Superintendent Bob Farrell.

New SMART Boards in use at CNE Middle School By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

Three new SMART Boards are in use at Clermont Northeastern Middle School thanks to a donation from the PTO. A SMART Board is an interactive whiteboard that is connected to a computer and allows students to participate in lessons. “It provides an opportunity for our kids to be more involved in

technology,” said Heather Powell, principal at the middle school. She said the boards include a number of features, including pens that allow students to write on the boards while the rest of the class can view and participate. “The possibilities are endless,” she said of the boards. The three new SMART Boards were purchased at a cost of $2,000 each and are being used in social studies, English and science

classes. The new boards are in addition to a number that were already in use at the school. Powell said every math and science class in the middle school now has a SMART Board. The PTO donation also enabled the school to purchase an AirLiner, a wireless hand-held version of the SMART Board that allows the teacher to project lessons on a traditional board.

The Moeller High School baseball team celebrates winning the school's fifth state title in baseball.

Crusaders win 5th state baseball title Miami Twp. resident sealed Moeller win By Mark Chalifoux

mchalifoux@communitypress.com

Moeller High School senior pitcher and shortstop Brett Cisper – who lives in Miami Township – got his first save of the season when the Crusaders needed it most. Cisper pitched the final two innings to secure Moeller’s 5-2 win over Pickerington North in the Ohio High School State Baseball Championship Saturday, June 6, at Huntington Park in Columbus. “He came up to me before the game and said ‘Coach, I’ve got two innings in me’ and he was huge,” Moeller head coach Tim Held said. Cisper took over on the mound in the top of the sixth. Pickerington North had a runner on second base with no outs when Cisper came in relief for starting pitcher Robby Sunderman (8-1). Xander Uxley reached first on an error. Cisper struck out the next batter, picked off Uxley at first, and struck out the next batter to end

the inning. Cisper walked the first batter in the top of the seventh and retired the next three batters to seal the win for Moeller. “I still don’t know what I did out there but I was throwing good and didn’t feel my arm at all,” Cisper said. He threw 100 pitches the day before in a complete game shutout of St. Ignatius in the state semifinals. Senior Eric Smith led the Crusaders with two runs batted in and Held said Moeller really set the tone in the first inning. “They got three straight base hits and we were able to limit the damage and hold them to one run,” Held said. “Then we came out and got three of our own in the bottom of the first.” The state championship was Moeller’s fifth in program history. The Crusaders last state title came in 2004 and the state title was Held’s first as head coach. “It was unbelievable,” said a victorious Held, moments after being doused by his players with the remnants of a water cooler. He said the team’s offense carried the team to the state championship. “When you’re playing at this level, every run is a huge run,” he

said. “To put six on St. Ignatius and five on these guys, that says a lot about this team.” Held said the team had a number of different players step up. “Brett Cisper has been our anchor all year, Tyler Hutchinson had big hits for us, Eric Smith had a huge weekend in the regional finals, Robby Sunderman battled tonight, Ryan Grau made some big plays at first, the list goes on and on,” Held said. Cisper cited teamwork as the key to the Crusaders season. “We played as a team throughout,” Cisper said. “We stuck together throughout the whole game. They jumped ahead on us in the first inning but it’s been that way for us all year. Battling back and putting on runs when we need to.” Cisper also talked about the importance of the experience Moeller gained from competing in the 2008 state final four. “We had 10 seniors this year and all of us knew the disappointment from last year,” he said. “Having that to build on helped us. Winning the state title this year, it feels amazing.”

Signing on

Milford High School senior Benjamin Jones signs a letter of intent to play soccer at Anderson University in South Carolina. Jones was a two-year varsity starting midfielder for the Eagles who earned Second Team All-Ohio honors as a senior. He also earned First Team FAVC and First Team Southwest Ohio honors in 2008. He received the FAVC All-Academic Award as a junior and a senior. He was also voted by his teammates and coaches as the Best Offensive Player in 2008. In front, from left is Ben’s dad, Robert Jones; Ben; his mom, Kandace Jones; and in top row are club soccer coach Jack Hermans, Milford boys’ soccer head coach Brian Croston and Milford boys’ soccer assistant coach Alan Grothaus.

Depth and talent were the two keys for the 2009 McNicholas High School Track and Field team, which turned in the best season in program history. The girls led the way for the Rockets as 10 girls qualified for the state meet. “To be a really good track team, you need two things,” said McNick head coach Dan Rosenbaum. “We’ve got a stud in Cat Humphries and you need a lot of really good kids. We qualified in state for five events that she’s not even participating in (Humphries qualified for four). We don’t have any weak events and we’re able to score in most events and that’s been the key to the season.” “When you have that many good athletes, they push each other in practice every day, and that helps,” Rosenbaum said. Former state champion Cat Humphries finished fifth in the state in the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.60 and was fifth in the 200-meter dash with a time of 25.44. The 4x100-meter relay finished fifth in the state with a time of 50.30. The relay comprised Elizabeth Scheidler, Tricia Walsh, Nettie McGee and Humphries. Lauren Clark and Kelsey Mueller qualified for the 800meter run and ran in the 4x800meter relay with Rebecca Heise and Catherine Paquette. Rebecca Weisshaar finished seventh in the state with a 5-02.00. Heise also

qualified in the high jump. Brianna Richardson, along with Clark, Mueller and Colleen Kelly ran in the 4x200-meter relay. McNick finished 13th overall. “Our goal was to get more people on the stand than we have before in one trip,” Rosenbaum said. “This is the most kids we’ve taken to the state meet.” It should’ve been one more, as Haley Fitzpatrick finished fifth in both hurdles events at the regional meet. Fitzpatrick injured her leg during warm-ups and eventually required 14 stitches. “She’s a tough kid to even run, let alone run well enough to almost make it to state,” Rosen-

baum said. “That was pretty impressive. That’s one of the toughest things I’ve ever seen in coaching. She just taped it up and ran.” The boys had the 4x400-meter relay qualify for state. Ryan Crowley, Sean Kelly, Dominic Rainieri and Timmy Meisman competed in the relay for the Rockets. Rosenbaum said the thing he liked about the 2009 Rockets was the way the team embraced the team concept. “They go watch the throwers and the jumpers and really pull for each other,” he said. “They really came together and it was absolutely, without question, our best team ever.”

I could not help but comment on the anticipated changes in the Milford schools grading policy. So the board was concerned that by not lowering the grading scale (lowering performance required by students) that Milford students would be at a disadvantage. Instead of being a follower, why don’t they take a lead and lower the points for an A, to let’s say, 80 to 100 and a B to 60 to 80. That way Milford students would have an advantage over the surrounding school systems

and just think of how good the school system would look with all of the straight “A” students. Instead of getting into competition with other districts that ends up dumbing down our students, the prudent thing for the school board to do would have been to fight for statewide uniform policies on grading that would have maintained performance standards. But that would have taken a greater effort. Peter Ulbrich Sleepy Hollow Lane Union Township

Ole Fisherman saw young coyote Howdy folks, This last week at the Ole Fisherman’s place was very busy and unusual. I will tell that part later. Last Thursday the Clermont Senior Services “Service with a Heart” had the 10th annual golf scramble with 29 teams. This event is held at the Elks Run Golf Course on Elk Lick Road near Batavia and what a beautiful course. The operators are wonderful people. They take pleasure in helping everybody have a good time and their food was wonderful. Ruth Ann and I always sit on the 17th hole to see if anyone gets a hole in one. Then they would get the use of a Lexus automobile for two years. We’ve never seen this happen, but close. Setting this event up takes a lot of work and the ladies who do this are to be thanked. Thanks Connie and Debbie and all the committee who help. Friday morning our two grandsons Ralph and Curtis were here for breakfast. They wanted pancakes and sausage and boy was it good. We always are happy when our children or grandchildren are with us. It is such a blessing. Friday evening we had a Grange meeting and it was good. The lady that had the program is the chaplain and her program was on love. Some of the thoughts were from school children. One that I like was from a 6 year old: When is it OK to kiss someone? It’s never OK to kiss a boy, they always slobber all over so that’s why I stopped. Another one was from an 8 year old: Don’t forget your wife’s name, that will mess up the love. Now on Saturday we went to Wilmington to help celebrate a 97year-old birthday. We have been close friends for over 50 years. There have been some wonderful times. After we left there we stopped at A&M Orchards, and I picked a

Ruth Ann and I enjoyed our visit there. They also had a farmers market set up. Now this is the unusual part I mentioned. Sunday morning as we were getting ready to go to church, Ruth Ann heard a noise she didn’t recognize, so I went out on the porch and over at the neighbors there was a young coyote jumping up trying to get to their dog and cat which were inside. I hollered at the pup and it looked at me then came running over to us. It was not quite half grown. I was standing at the corner of our house and the pup’s ears stood up and it took off running to the woods across the road. This was exciting to me.

Which are you more likely to attend this summer, a Cincinnati Reds game or a Florence Freedom minor league game? Why?

“I’ve already been to a Reds game, but I’ll probably go to a Freedom game also. Each offers something different. I’m excited that the Reds are winning and going to the games are great but the Freedom offers a closer view of the game, cheaper tickets and affordable food. We’re lucky to have so many options.”

What an incredible year for the Milford school district. It all came to a triumphant finish for hundreds of students May 29 when they graduated at the Cintas Center. It is always an impressive and emotional site to see parents beam with pride as their “babies” graduate; to see the hopeful look of excitement and wonder in the eyes of students as they embark on the next chapter of their young lives; to see the tears in the teachers eyes who take such great satisfaction in knowing they helped that student reach this important step. Our students graduated with great fanfare and financial support from a variety of scholarships. Milford students this year were offered $5,292,382 in academic, athletic, fine arts, leadership and service scholarships. A great early education can certainly boost a student’s chances of earning scholarship dollars to support their dreams for college. In addition to the scholarship opportunities, more than 100 students each year challenge themselves by taking Advanced Placement (AP) courses to possibly earn college credit. Milford students also have the opportunity to take dual credit

courses which earns them high school and college credit with the same class. More than 80 students took this option in classes such as Advanced Drawing, Business Law and Accounting. We’ll learn later this summer about the results of the AP exams taken this

spring. The opportunity to take these courses gives Milford students a chance to get ahead in college even before they set foot on the university campus. A larger majority of our students plan to continue on in their education. We surveyed our students and a whopping 88 percent of them plan to attend a two-year or four-year college or university in the fall to earn a degree. About five percent of our graduating seniors have chosen the armed forces. We thank them in advance for their dedication to their country and their service. About seven percent plan to enter the workforce directly after high school. We see our students grow,

SMALL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Tori Kirby-Schwarber, far right, helps her mother, Jeanette Kirby, not pictured, run the Frostbites snow cone stand. Along with Tori are some of her friends, from left, Erica Comer, Sydnie Nickel, Kelsey Baldwin and Abby Sipple.

Frostbites a cool place for cold treats By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

Jeanette Kirby was tired of driving all the way to Eastgate to get a good snow cone. So she decided to do something: Open her own snow cone stand in Williamsburg. The stand, called Frostbites, opened May 18. It is owned and operated by Kirby and her 14-year-old daughter, Tori KirbySchwarber. Kirby said working at the snow cone stand is a way for Tori, who will be a sophomore at Williamsburg High School in the fall, to save money for college. Although Kirby and Tori are officially the only two employees at the stand, on most days you will find several of Tori’s friends hanging out and helping. “They’re just volunteers here,” Kirby said. Kirby said she also got a lot of help from family and friends in building the stand, which sits on a vacant lot along Fifth Street.

Frostbites

Address: 279 S. Fifth St., Williamsburg What they offer: More than 100 flavor combinations of snow cones, with plenty of parking and a drive-through window. Specials: When it’s raining, snow cones are half off. Hours: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Frostbites offers only the shaved ice snow cones, but has a wide variety of flavors and combinations of flavors. Kirby said new combinations are always being invented by the kids. The most popular flavor is blue raspberry, she said. Kirby said that so far business has been good. “One person told us we have the best snow cone flavors they’ve ever had,” Kirby said. Kirby said the stand will remain open from May to October, closing down in the colder months. Kirby said she will probably work as a nurse’s aide in the off months.

Ever wonder how normal you are? vidualism) means becoming what we have in us to become. God does not create us and then wonder, “Why did I do that?” We are created as a divine idea with a purpose and a destination. There would be no individuation if there were not roadblocks, detours, and personal efforts – just as there would be no path if there was no wilderness around it that was hewn out by our steps. The singularity of each of our paths is part of what makes finding and staying on it so difficult. Nothing is as important as carrying our own cross, said Jesus Christ. Jaffe wrote, “That means the same as finding and following the path of individuation which has been prepared for you from eternity.

Other companies make similar small cameras – like Kodak, whose camera uses memory cards that you can change when they become full. Replaceable cards are an advantage because it means there’s no need to stop and download your videos should your camera’s storage fill up. Bottom line, if you love to take pictures of your family check out the new pocket-sized high definition video cameras.

But if you haven’t checked lately you will be shocked at how small the cameras have become – and much less expensive, too. At first home pictures consisted of black and white stills and movies. That soon gave way to color photos and movies – then videotape. The first video camera I owned was quite large and required a separate video recorder that I carried over my shoulder. When technology changed, I bought a small, excellent, video camera with the tape inside the unit. The size was so small I could hold it in one hand. It cost more than $1,800, but the video was so good I took it on a trip to China and came back with great pictures. I thought video couldn’t get much better – but I was wrong. I recently got a Flip Video HD camera and was shocked at the brilliant, colorful pictures it took – in high definition. My experience with that camera prompted me to buy the Flip Ultra HD camera, which can hold up to two hours of video, instead of one hour, before the pictures have to be downloaded. It comes with a rechargeable battery that can be replaced with two AA batteries should you run out of power and need to keep shooting. I took that camera on a recent trip to Hawaii and was simply amazed at the pictures I got. At one point, I ran out of power while on a road trip and couldn’t stop to recharge the battery. That’s when the ability to use two AA batteries came in very handy – it allowed me to continue taking pictures when I wouldn’t have been

“normal” molds. The government mold says we’re fairly normal if we pay our taxes and obey federal regulations; science considers us normal when we match their statistics and research; religion tends to see normality as being asexual, unquestioning and docile. Seldom do we hear the encouraging words of St. Francis de Sales: “Be yourself! But be your best self!” “The scientist is always looking for an average,” wrote Carl Jung, “yet the truth is that the carriers of life are individuals, not average numbers. When everything is statistical, all individual qualities are wiped out … If you wipe out the mythology of a man and his entire historical sequence, he becomes a statistical average, a number; that is, he becomes nothing.” Individuation (not indi-

“Why can’t you just be normal?” “Why aren’t you like the other (husbands/ wives/kids/ whomever)?” Hearing that can make our self-respect hit the skids. For if we are not deemed normal, doesn’t that mean we are considered as abnormal, weird, odd, or peculiar in front of the rest of the world? Analyst Dr. Lawrence Jaffe notes that “Patient after patient speaks to me of the frustration in not being able to be ‘normal.’ What a relief to realize that normality is a statistical concept with no empirical validity … This is no such thing as being normal. But what a long road it is that leads finally to that realization.” Normality is an abstraction derived from the study of statistics. It doesn’t exist in reality. Science may say the average or “normal” stone

Father’s Day breakfast. One of my fond memories is seeing my dad, Charlie Nader’s, smile when I’d bring him a jar of sun-cooked strawberry preserves for Father’s Day.

What a fun day. Jalean and Jessie, my daughters-inlaw, and their kids went with me to A&M Farms in Brown County to pick strawberries. The aroma that hit us when we got out of our cars was berry heaven! Those folks are so familyoriented. Rita The little Heikenfeld ones got to help pick Rita’s kitchen and some ate more than they put in their trays. I’m glad the kids weren’t weighed before and after. The berries were ripe and so delicious. The best part was going back to my house where we made 50 jars of jams and sauces. And we got it all done by mid-afternoon. We’ll serve the jam for

Paul’s passion, professional growth and enthusiasm continued to lead him to serve his professional organizations. After serving in several national leadership positions, Paul was elected President of ASBO International in 1983. The conference was held in Phoenix, Arizona and the theme for his term was “Excellence: ASBO’s Key to Professionalism.” That year membership reached 6,000 for the first time. He felt it important for people to join and become active and dedicated to be a more effective business official, a more efficient manager and a better school administrator. He dedicated himself to the organization for more than 55 years and received the RSBA designation. He and wife, Marjorie, traveled to every state and province of Canada during his term as president. He was loved and respected by his peers. Paul was revered as “ Mr. Congeniality” and “Mr. ASBO International.” His leadership was at the forefront of the profession from Clerk-Treasurer to Treasurer. Paul’s commitment to public education, his passion for school business management and his kindness to everyone are his legacy to OASBO and ASBO International. Paul Leary was a humble, devoted, and cherished husband, daddy and Papa who always gave unconditional love to everyone, especially his family. He loved life! He loved growing prize winning roses, playing bridge and poker with friends, parties, and summers at the Jersey Shore, helping those less fortunate, and enjoying his grandchildren. Traveling with Marjorie after retirement was a joy as they enjoyed many European trips together, but he was always ready to be back into the many ‘projects’ that waited. Paul had an endless ‘smile from his soul’ that made people feel, as they were special. Paul Robert Leary is survived by daughter, Lyn and Tom Ambrose and son Spencer; of Scottsdale; Jeffrey P. Leary and son Travis; of Port Charlotte, Florida; Dr. Christopher P. and Sandra Leary, and their sons Alex and Casey, of Loveland, Ohio. Also surviving are his brother, James Leary of Butler, PA and cherished sisterin-law and husband, Dr. Walter C. and Nancy McKelvey Lusk of Los Angeles as well as many nieces and nephews. A “Celebration of a Life Well Lived’ to honor Paul will be held Saturday, June 20, 2009 at Dr. Christopher and Sandra Leary’s home with a tent erected in the back yard rain or shine. Call 513-683-9033 to RSVP and request directions. Please dress comfortably for the service and Irish celebration afterwards.

RAVENWOOD CASTLE: A MOST UNUSUAL GETAWAY Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has

its own food service for guests, so they can spend their entire visit immersed in solitude if they wish, surrounded by tall trees, huge rocks, the castle‘s own hiking trails and plenty of peace and quiet. Or guests can drive the few miles to outside attractions & other dramatic scenery in the Hocking Hills. Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events. Facilities are also perfect for small weddings and other festive occasions. The building has no steps into the 1st floor level - a “drawbridge” leads from the driveway to the massive front door and the first floor guest rms. Nearby are caves, waterfalls, lots of hiking trails, a scenic railway, arts & crafts studios & shop, antique malls and much more. There are often midweek discounts and a special “Royal Family” Adventure Package in the summer.
