Officer recovers wife’s wallet

When Miami Township Sgt. John Swing discovered his wife’s GPS unit was stolen from her car, he told her she’d never see it again.

It took four attempts, but this time was a charm for Geoffrey Pittman. Pittman, who has applied for appointment to Milford’s city council three times before, was selected to fill David Hunter’s open seat Tuesday, Sept. 15. “I’m very happy and honored to be on council, there’s no question,” Pittman said. “I’ve got big shoes to fill.” Four citizens applied for appointment to fill Hunter’s unexpired term: Pittman, 10-year resident James Thaxton, former council member John Aufdenkampe and Laurie Walter. Walter is running for Milford city council in November. Each applicant spoke to council for a few minutes before council voted. On the first two votes, Pittman received three votes, Thaxton received two and Walter received one. On the third and final vote, Pittman and Thaxton tied at three votes. Since no applicant received four council votes, Mayor Charlene Hinners appointed Pittman. “When he came up for a seat on council in the past, our former mayor, Lou Bishop, told him to get involved with the city and (Pittman) did just that,” Hinners

Milford Law Director Mike Minniear, right, swears Geoffrey Pittman onto city council. Mayor Charlene Hinners appointed Pittman to council Sept. 15. said. “I think he’ll be a great addition.” Pittman, an attorney focusing on criminal defense, family law and zoning/planning, has served on the city’s board of zoning appeals, is a member of the Clermont County Planning Commission and is a co-chair on the ad hoc committee former Mayor David Hunter created to research the idea for an overlay in South Milford. His term on council will

expire at the end of 2011. During his speech, Pittman said he would bring open ears and an open mind to council. “I don’t have any agendas or pet projects. I have no desire to do anything but a good job and to do the right thing,” Pittman said. “I come to council from a sense of duty. I do not personally covet a position on council. I think it’s a job, a job that I’m well suited for.” Pittman, 48, lives on Mound

Avenue and has lived most of his life in Milford. When he’s not working or serving on committees, he likes to spend time with his wife and two daughters. Pittman also sings and plays guitar and piano with a band on the weekends. Pittman said he knows Milford is dealing with a number of issues and is ready for the challenge. “I’m looking forward to it. Let’s get to work,” he said.

School seeks way to honor principal By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com

After Milford High School Principal Dr. Ray Bauer died suddenly last month there were two celebrations of his life, makeshift memorials with flowers and cards and even Facebook groups honoring his memory. The Milford Board of Education decided at its Thursday, Sept. 17, meeting to find a more permanent way to remember the beloved principal.

Superintendent Bob Farrell has been charged with creating a committee which will decide what part of the high school’s construction and renovation project will be named after Bauer. “There are so many things we could do, but it’s going to be important to select something that truly reflects who he was and what he would have wanted,” said board member Dave Yockey. Board President Debbie Marques said Bauer spent countless

hours helping plan the building’s construction and naming something after him was a fitting tribute. “There’s the freshman wing, the music wing, the administrative wing and so many more options,” she said. “I heard he used to bring his computer into the music room and work while the students played so that also might be something to consider.” Students, community members, school staff and even family members could be on the committee.

“We need to get representatives from all different groups of students,” Farrell said. “As we’ve heard so much, Dr. Bauer was no judge. He appealed to all groups of students so we need to hear from the different segments.” Farrell said he would work quickly to assemble the group and begin discussions. For more information about joining the committee, contact Farrell at 831-1314.

Veterans to receive high school diplomas By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com

Last November, grown men were moved to tears as they received their Milford High School diplomas decades after their education was interrupted by military service. Other veterans will have a chance to collect their diplomas at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8, in the Milford High School auditorium. They will be honored with a medal, diploma and the ceremony will feature musical tributes from

high school students and speeches from members of the community. “It’s important for these people who have served and missed out on getting a diploma to receive one and it’s also important for the young people to have a connection with the veterans,” said Miami Township Trustee Karl Schultz, who retired from the Air Force in 2004 and is on the ceremony’s planning committee. Milford schools will be collecting care packages with items such as deodorant, bug spray and candy and having a spare change

drive the second week of October to raise money to send the packages to local soldiers currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. “We need to raise more than $3,000 to send the boxes over,” said Superintendent Bob Farrell. “Any gift boxes left over will be sent to Milford Ministries.” Though the committee already has found eight veterans for this year’s ceremony, including two brothers, it is still accepting information from other veterans who might not have received diplomas. “We need to have verification

through the Clermont County Veterans (Service Commission) of the service and any medals received,” said Darla Dobbs, administrative assistant to Farrell. The district also is looking for the names of any residents currently serving in Iraq or Afghanistan so their names can be read during the ceremony. Any veterans interested in receiving a diploma or anyone who knows a solider currently serving overseas should contact Dobbs at dobbs_d@milfordschools.org by Friday, Oct. 23.

County announces employee furloughs

Officer recovers wife’s stolen GPS By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com

When Miami Township Sgt. John Swing discovered his wife’s GPS unit was stolen from her car, he told her she’d never see it again. “I told my wife to kiss that thing good-bye, that it was long gone and she was never going to see it again,” Swing said. But while Swing was patrolling the area around his neighborhood after the theft, he caught two teens riding bikes down Ohio 131 in dark sweatshirts at 1:30 a.m. After some interrogation, the teens admitted they had just stolen the bikes and had more stolen property stored

at one of their homes. “The suspect pulled a duffel bag of stolen property out of his closet and as we were going through I saw a GPS that looked like the one my wife had,” he said. “I hit the home button and it had my home address in it.” The night his wife’s GPS was stolen, several other items were stolen from cars on Swing’s street and the sergeant was able to recover their property as well. “I’ve been catching thieves for 25 years and this was the first time I got my own stuff back,” Swing said. “It was pretty gratifying being able to recover my neighbors’ property and give them peace of mind.”

Miami Township Police Chief Steve Bailey said he was proud of Swing’s work and emphasized the importance of locking car doors. “This underscores the need for citizens to be diligent about removing valuable property from their vehicles parked overnight, locking those vehicles, closing garage doors and being alert for suspicious persons,” he said. The teens, both 15-yearsold, also admitted to entering someone’s home while the owners were asleep and stealing several items. They have been charged with receiving stolen property and have additional charges pending from the Miami Township Police

Miami Township employee finds wallet By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com

Your Community Press newspaper serving Miami Township and Milford

By Kellie Geist

When Dave McNutt returned home after a morning of errands Tuesday, Sept. 1, he had no idea his wallet was laying on the side of the road in front of Milford Junior High School. It wasn’t until Miami Township Service Department road supervisor Jeff Weigel showed up with the township resident’s wallet that McNutt realized his wallet had been missing. “For some reason I put my wallet on top of my car and as absentminded as I am, I completely forgot about it and didn’t realize it was gone,” McNutt said. After Weigel returned the wallet, McNutt noticed his

credit cards were missing. “I had maybe $200 or $300 in cash and that was there, but my Visa card, Kroger card and all that were gone,” he said. “Then when I went down to the junior high to look for them, Jeff was there. He helped me find everything that had been strewn about on the side of the road.” The road supervisor also turned down a reward for finding the lost wallet and credit cards. “I just hope that somebody would do that for me if I lost my wallet,” Weigel said. “I didn’t need a reward.” Miami Township Trustee Ken Tracy said he was proud of Weigel and hoped other township employees would follow his example.

The Clermont County commissioners are looking at ways to balance the county’s budget, and the employees are going to pay some of the price. The Clermont County commissioners Sept. 2 approved guidelines to allow mandatory unpaid days off and one department will start those furloughs this week. The Department of Job and Family Services, which receives a large amount of its funding through state and federal money, will start furloughs Friday, Sept. 11. Rather than allow employees to choose their own furlough days, DJFS Director Tim McCartney opted to close the building for 10 specific days to minimize the impact on their clients and save on building costs. The DJFS office will be closed for the first time Sept. 11. Although other departments aren’t taking furloughs yet, McCartney said his department needed to start saving money immediately. “We took a 20-percent hit in (state and federal) funding already and there could always be more cuts around the corner. We needed to take immediate actions,” McCartney said. “We’re already two months into the fiscal year and every day we wait, that cliff gets a little bigger.” The furloughs will save $400,000 in the DJFS, McCartney said. The depar-

ment will be closed Sept. 11, Oct. 12, Dec. 24, Dec. 31, Feb. 12, March 12, April 2, April 30, May 28 and June 11. The commissioners are going to look at how they want to implement furloughs in other departments in the coming weeks, Commissioner Ed Humphrey said. He said some departments could be exempt from furloughs because of bargaining units (sheriff’s office) or 24/7 operations (communications center.) In July, the county had about $27.6 million in general fund operating revenue. Budget Director Sukie Scheetz said that’s about three percent more than of a reduction from last year than they were planning. Last year at this time, Clermont County had about $30.9 million in the general fund. Scheetz said if the county furloughed all non-bargaining unit, non-elected employees paid from the general fund, the county would save about $847,000. This does not include other non-general fund employees. During a work session Wednesday, Sept. 2, the commissioners as well as a number of elected officials and employees in attendance seemed to prefer having five set days off (such as Christmas and New Year’s eves) and then having each employee take an additional 40 hours whenever they prefer. The commissioners will meet with the department heads in the coming weeks to discuss the options.

Wayne Twp. candidates discuss priorities for November election

Owensville council candidates address village issues

Community Press Staff Report

Four candidates are running for four seats on Owensville Village Council. The Community Journal North asked each candidate to answer three questions. Their responses are: Kimberly Beuke Q: What are the main issues facing Owensville? A: Main issues facing the village would be annexation, zoning and water/sewage improvements. Carole Huhn Q. What are the main issues facing Owensville? A: The main issues facing the Owensville village are to promote and provide services to our residents while staying within our budget during this time of economic stress. Shirley Shipley Q. What are the main issues facing Owensville? A: One of our main issues is water problems on the west end of town. We are getting a grant to fix this problem which has been a problem for sometime. I would like to see more development of Gauche Park. We have a half basketball court from grant money being built and re-sealing of the large walking trail. We have hired someone to write grants for us and hope to have more improvements in the future. Of course one of the big issues facing our village is the same as other municipalities and that is the economy right now. With citizens losing jobs

Huhn we lose tax m o n e y which makes it harder to keep things running s m o o t h l y. Another issue is fixing Shipley our sidewalks and possibly putting sidewalks where they are needed. Just a comment: I was born and raised in and around Owensville and I love living here. I love the people and have seen lots of changes through the years. It is a peaceful community and I have always felt safe here. Beuke

Julie Tolliver Q. What are the main issues facing Owensville? A: Owensville is a small, quiet community in the middle of Stonelick Township. The township has a solid master plan for growth along with the rest of the county/area. Owensville does not have a current master plan to keep pace with the projected growth of the surrounding areas, but could be a thriving area with proper planning and design. Owensville is lacking many amenities that would attract new residents.

Whether it’s tar and chipping newly paved roads or discussing moving the fire station to the center of the township, the five candidates for the two open Wayne Township trustee seats have a lot to talk about. The Community Press asked each candidate the same three questions to help voters get to know the candidates who will be on the ballot in November. Here’s what they had to say: Questions: 1. Wayne Township, like many communities, is struggling with a tight budget. What do you think are the priorities for the township and what is your solution to the current financial situation? 2. What are some of the main issues you would like to see addressed in Wayne Township? 3. What strengths do you bring to the position? Dennis Elchlinger 3. Prior to being elected as a trustee, I served on the zoning board of appeals, the zoning board for several years and have been generally involved with the township helping to work on our land use plan. I petitioned the trustees to bring back the recycling bins for the township residents and helped to pour the cement pad so we now have this service. As a trustee, I have

helped with the snow plowing, worked with our maintenance personnel to build our brine system, worked in the cemetery and pushed for the development of the new section at Plainview Cemetery. I have always maintained that honesty is the best policy. My strengths are honesty, integrity, experience, hardworking and I’m willing to physically help wherever needed. Rick Grant 3. I am honest, reliable and trustworthy. I am a fiscal conservative and do not believe in raising taxes. I believe every dollar should be spent wisely. I have a strong belief in doing the “right thing” and everything else will follow. I have been involved in public service and helped manage a multi-million dollar school budget and worked with 200-plus employees to maintain a positive community supported environment. I have a proven background of support both from the community and my piers. During my days of working on the Blanchester board of education and with the Ohio School Board Association, we created an atmosphere of positive growth and improvement without creating new taxes and budget busting. I have run a successful real estate business, and worked for private business and served the public, all of which give me a broad and extensive background to rely

SALE

on for resources to help manage and guide the township. Most of all I have the ability to see the vision, analyze the need and bring people together to move forward. Harold Grosnickle 3. As a business man for over 32 years, I have excellent knowledge in developing and working within a budget. I also serve as financial officer on my church board working with the budget. I have spent 16 years as a trustee for Wayne Township and I have worked with the township budget throughout those years. As a farmer and past trustee, I have experience operating township equipment. As a state of Ohio certified emergency medical technician and firefighter, I understand the need to provide superior emergency services to our citizens while working within the budget. As a past trustee, I understand that I work for our residents, that they are my boss, and we must listen when they speak. As a conservative, I understand we must make the most of our money and that further taxation is not an option. I will constantly look for more cost effective ways of providing service without degradation of those services. In closing, we must inform the citizens and provide services to the residents of the township that benefit our community and continue to make Wayne Township a place our children are proud to call home.

This election season, to make sure every race for township trustee, village council, school board and city council is covered, the Community Press will place one question and answer from each candidate in the paper. Readers are asked to see all questions and answers of the Clermont Northeastern Local School District Board of Education candidates at Cincinnati.com/stonelicktownship or Cincinnati.com/owensville. Mike Mantel 3. I bring a unique combination experience as a public service professional with a philosophy of fiscal responsibility. I have over 20 years of applicable hands-on experience, the last seven specifically in public service for a local township. My greatest pleasure is going to work and doing a good job each day and saving money in the process. I pledge to do the same as a Wayne Township trustee and ask for your vote and support in November. For those who would wish to know more of my plans, I direct them to my Web site: www.mikemantel.com. Don Wilson 3. Serve on council for Newtonsville for two years and eight years as a trustee for Wayne Township. Budget and manage a company business for 25 years.

Thousands visit Pumpkin Run By Kellie Geist

BRIEFLY Merit semifinalists

At 3 p.m. Sunday, 125 trophies and the grand prize, a “rolling package” replica of a 1934 Ford 3 Window Coupe, will be awarded. The coupe includes the body, transmission, engine, wheels and tires. Gavey said some spectators come for the Split the Pot, which for the last two years has been more than $10,000. The Pumpkin Run started 34 years ago and has pretty much grown to capacity since. “The show has grown to the point where it is now and there’s really no more space to grow at the fairgrounds,” said Frank Witt. Witt was president of the Fastiques Rod & Custom car club for 14 years. “It’s really improved over the years. There are a wide variety of cars with so many personalities ... It’s just a great time.”All of the proceeds from the event go to charity organizations such as Shriner’s Burn Hospital and the Earth Angel Foundation. Since the show’s inception, the car club has donated about $600,000 to Shriner’s. Registration the day of the event will be at the Holiday Inn Eastgate, 4501 Eastgate Blvd. Registration is $25 and includes entrance for two adults. Pre-registration has closed. For spectators, entrance to the show is $5 for adults and free for children 12 and under. Parking will be available at the fairgrounds for $5. “The Pumpkin Run has a family atmosphere. It’s a great time to get together with family and friends to enjoy the weekend,” Gavey said. For more information, visit www.pumpkinrunnationals.com or call 528-0554. A full list of events is available online.

Whether they want to show their 1920 Ford Model T or check out a newly rebuilt 1970 Chevrolet Corvette, thousands of car buffs from Canada to Florida come to Clermont County once a year to celebrate some of the industry’s best classics. The Pumpkin Run, one of the largest antique and classic car shows in the Southwest Ohio region, will be from 2 p.m. to midnight Friday, Oct. 2; 8 a.m. to midnight Saturday, Oct. 3; and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 4. The Pumpkin Run is held at the Clermont County Fairgrounds, 1000 Locust St. in Owensville. “It’s like a typical car show, but we draw anywhere from 2,800 to 3,000 cars and they are all 1970 and older,” said Dan Gavey, president of Fastiques Rod & Custom, the organization that puts on the Pumpkin Run. “We have people from Canada, Florida, California ... We get cars and spectators from all over.” In addition to thousands of cars, the Pumpkin Run has a large vendor area, swap meet, Women’s World craft area, food and music. J.D. Hughes and the Avenues will perform at 8 p.m. Friday and Blue Stone Ivory will be at 8 p.m. Saturday. Also on Saturday, people who have registered their car for the show will be treated to a bean dinner. The car show will be separated into three areas: Ford Country, Mopar Country and Bowtie Country. “It’s set up like a show within a show,” Davey said. “There is such a wide variety of cars. There will be street rods, customs, street machines, restored automobiles.”

ODE lacks funds, Milford waits By Mary Dannemiller

mdannemiller@communitypress.com

The Milford Exempted Village School District has done everything from conserving energy to passing a levy to dig itself out of fiscal caution. Now after more than a year of hard work, the district has a cash balance of $8.6 million, up from a projected $60,000, and is on track to stay financially stable. However, the Ohio Department of Education cannot officially remove the district from fiscal caution because budgetary restraints prevent the regional fiscal consultant from traveling to the board office in Milford from his office in Mason to examine the district’s finances. “We’re just basically operating with a no travel mandate,” said

Dean Horton, regional fiscal consultant. “We’re not traveling because we are reimbursed for it and that costs money.” Horton said he was not sure when the ban would be lifted, but was confident that once it was, his analysis would remove the district from fiscal caution. “I don’t think there’s any question that my analysis is going to agree with the treasurer’s forecast and I’ll make the recommendation that they be released from caution,” he said. “This isn’t anything Milford has done wrong. In fact, they’ve done a lot of things right.” Superintendent Bob Farrell said the situation was frustrating. “We know we’ll be let out of fiscal caution, but the cuts that are happening around the nation right now are impacting all government services so we have to be under-

standing as well,” he said. Farrell also worried that the fiscal caution label could send prospective students to other districts. “I think the people who live in Milford know our financial situation is much better, but when people are trying to decide whether they want to move to the area and see that label they have no way of knowing we’re not anywhere close to that,” he said. Removing the label officially would send a positive message to everyone in the community who has helped the district recover, Farrell said. “When you turn a financial situation around like this, it takes sacrifice from the staff and the school community and that’s what Milford has done,” he said.

Goshen retools Web site By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

Mark Slagle said one of the advantages of Goshen Local School District’s new Web site is that it enables the teacher to “bring the classroom home.” Slagle, technology coordinator for the district, Sept. 14 updated board of education members on changes to the Web site for the 2009-2010 school year. He said the site was completely redesigned to make it easier to use. Parents and students can go to a teacher’s page to find home-

work and assignments for an entire week. “It’s just so much easier,” Slagle said. “What the teacher taught in class today is available on the Web the same day.” He said most of the classrooms have digital document projectors that enable the teacher to scan a document and send it to a computer. “There is no reason for a student not to have access to the same materials at home as at school,” he said. Slagle said most of the teachers

in the district have found the new Web site easy to use and have quickly adapted to it. He said the new site promotes the goals of the district, including working toward an excellent rating and allowing students to interact with technology. “We’re pretty excited about where we are,” he said. Board member George Rise, who is principal at Blanchester High School, praised the new Web site. “We are light years ahead of Blanchester,” Rise said.

Range of emotions for CNE, Milford, Goshen By Adam Turer eastsports@communitypress.com

Week four of the high school football season had a little bit of everything for the area’s three teams. Clermont Northeastern suffered a heartbreaking loss, Goshen held on for a grind-it-out victory in a rivalry game, and Milford completely dominated its opponent.

final possession. “I wanted to show our kids that I believe in them,” said Brausch. “I would do it again if I had the chance.” The Rockets will try to bounce back and earn their first win of the season on Friday, Sept. 25, at home against New Richmond.

CNE

The Rockets fell to 0-4 on the season with a crushing one-point loss to Batavia High School. CNE started the game with a bang, returning the opening kickoff for a touchdown. The score was called back by a penalty, but the offense responded. Quarterback Kenny Thompson capped the opening drive with a six-yard touchdown run to give the Rockets a 6-0 lead. Batavia took the lead in the second quarter and added to it with a 48-yard interception return to take a 14-6 lead into halftime. “We changed our offense after week two and our kids are starting to get the hang of it,” Rockets head coach Dave Brausch said. “We’re spreading people out more and throwing it more.” The offense used a balanced running and passing attack to move the ball well in the first half, but hurt itself with untimely penalties and turnovers. A Rockets turnover set up the Bulldogs’ first score. “We need to keep sustained drives on offense,” Brausch said. “We need to increase our time of possession and let our defense rest, and we need to take away our turnovers.” The Rockets tied the game at 14 early in the

Tieke is one of the key players in the revamped offense, splitting time in the backfield and split out at wide receiver. He caught seven passes for nearly 100 yards against Batavia. The Bulldogs responded to retake the lead, 21-14. The Rockets’ offense took the field with a chance to drive down the field and tie the game or take the lead in the closing minutes.

Milford advances to 13-2 with the win.

Brausch capped the drive with a one-yard scoring plunge. “We mixed in the run and the pass and everything was clicking on that drive,” Coach Brausch said. With under three minutes to play, the coach had a big decision to make. An extra-point attempt on the Rockets’ first touchdown was no good. The team was looking for its first win of the season. Brausch decided to go for the two-point conversion to take the lead. The attempt failed, and Batavia was able to run out the clock on its

The Warriors won the King of the Road battle against neighborhood rival Blanchester, 21-14. Goshen jumped out to a 21-0 lead early in the second quarter and held on for the win. The Warriors’ offense moved the ball all night, but struggled to finish drives. “We need more discipline,” head coach Nick Inabnitt said. “We moved the ball, but our mistakes nearly killed us.” The Warriors committed 11 penalties in the game and fumbled the ball multiple times in the second half. David Prewitt rushed for two touchdowns and freshman Marcus Casey rushed for 100 yards and a score. Goshen dominated time of possession, controlling the ball most of the night. Jamie Ashcraft made his first start of the season at quarterback after starting the first three games at running back. “We have depth in the backfield,” Inabnitt said. He expected to make a decision on his week five starter by Monday, Sept. 21. Alex Owens had been the starting quarterback through the first three games. Ashcraft provides anoth-

er dangerous running threat out of the option attack. With Casey healthy, the Warriors have a very deep rotation of ballcarriers. The victory over the neighborhood rival was a good test for the Warriors who face a tough East Clinton team on the road on Sept. 25. “It was good for us to be in a close game like that and come out on top,” Inabnitt said.

Milford

The Eagles put everything together in a 50-0 win over Woodward High School. The Eagles improve to 3-1 on the season. After the coaching staff emphasized getting out to a fast start, the Eagles responded. Reggie Carson took the first play from scrimmage 70 yards for a touchdown and the Eagles were off to the races. “No doubt that was our best game of the year,” said head coach Pat Fagan. “That was our best offensive game in my three years here.” Carson finished with 149 yards on 10 carries. Nathan Termuhlen added 146 yards on 22 carries and scored four touchdowns. “We put pressure on our offensive line all week in practice to prepare them,” Fagan said. “On Friday night, they were ready.” The Eagles travel to Mt. Healthy Sept. 25 for their final non-conference game. Fagan hopes his team can remember this performance and reproduce it each of the next six Friday nights. “We need to take this momentum and confidence and make something constructive of it,” Fagan said. “We need to focus on consistency and play like that every week.”

Goshen volleyball hosts ‘Spike for Mike’ fundraiser By Anthony Amorini aamorini@communitypress.com

In memory of former Goshen athletic director Mike Spilman, the Lady Warriors’ ranked volleyball team hosts its first “Spike for Mike” fundraiser Wednesday, Oct. 14. The event begins with a junior varsity match at 5:30 p.m. followed immediately by a varsity contest against Western Brown. Spilman was an athletic

trainer at Goshen for seven years and died in June from lung cancer. All proceeds raised Pettit from the event benefit the Mike Spilman Scholarship fund, which will be available to any graduating student pursuing a degree in athletic training or a health field. “He was a one-of-a-kind

and we sorely miss him,” Goshen volleyball coach Lisa Smith said. For more information about the Mike Spilman Scholarship fund or the event, contact the Goshen Board office at 722-2222. All checks should be made payable to Mike Spilman Scholarship Fund. On the court, Goshen is ranked No. 7 in Cincinnati, according to the Enquirer’s Division II Coaches’ Poll for week two.

The girls started the season at 3-3 with senior Aja Pettit leading the way with a team-high 72 kills. Pettit also has 70 digs and leads the team with 10 aces. Sophomore Kelly Parriman has 10 aces. Formerly playing as a hitter, Sarah Barrial is adjusting well to her new position as a libero, Smith said. Barrial leads the team with 92 digs, followed by Pettit at 70 digs and senior

Brooke Catauro at 56 digs. Catauro leads the Lady Warriors with 84 assists. “Last week, Western Brown wiped us out in three straight, so our goal is to recover from that big night and work harder to be better,” Smith said. “We are taking it a match at a time and trying to smooth out some wrinkles.” Standing at 3-3 overall, Goshen fell to 2-1 in its Southern Buckeye Conference with the Warriors fell

Learn the signs of preventable teen suicide Maybe you’ve seen the statistics: Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the United States, with 33,000 occurring annually. More lives are lost to suicide each year than homicide, and a suicide occurs every 16 minutes. Suicide happens across all ethnic, economic and social groups. But the reality of suicide may not impact you unless you experience the loss of a family member, friend, neighbor or coworker. The suicide of a young person is often even harder to understand and coping with the loss more difficult. Suicide now ranks as the second leading cause of death for youth aged 15-24 and the fourth leading cause of death for 10-14 year olds. These facts demonstrate suicides among our youth are more common than you may think, and that is true in Clermont County as well. Why teens with their whole life ahead of them decide to kill themselves is a question that haunts

parents, friends, teachers and the c o m m u n i t y. Many adolescent suicides are precipitated by an interpersonal conflict or problem and overwhelmKaren ing hopelessness, Scherra and most occur school hours Community after and in the teen’s Press Guest home, but the Columnist reasons behind a teen’s suicide or attempt can be complex. Teens who have survived suicide attempts say they were either trying to escape a situation that seemed impossible to deal with at that time or their feelings of rejection, guilt, anger or extreme sadness. It’s difficult to be a teen today. Teens need to fit in socially, perform academically, act responsibly, and live up to all the expectations of them, along with developing their identities and a sense of autonomy while following the

rules. These pressures are very real to them and often overwhelming. Teens rely on support from family, peers, extracurricular activities and even religious groups. These supports can help them address their frustrations and insecurities. Unfortunately, some teens either don’t have adequate supports or are unable to believe in and trust the strength of supports they have. Sometimes, through a combination of factors and problems, teens begin thinking about dying and suicide. Suicide is preventable, and a key element in preventing teen suicide is recognizing warning signs and issues that trigger suicidal thoughts and feelings and provide help and support. Some things to look for include: Disinterest in favorite activities or hobbies; problems at a job; loss of interest in school or declining grades; behavioral problems; withdrawing from family and friends; sleep changes; use of alcohol or drugs; risk-taking behaviors; neglecting personal

appearance; inability to concentrate and pay attention; change in eating habits; giving away prized possessions; and frequent complaints of physical symptoms like headaches and stomachaches. Teen suicide often occurs following a stressful event like a failure at school, a breakup with a boyfriend or girlfriend, the death of a loved one, or a major family conflict. A teen thinking of suicide might talk about death or suicide in general, or about “going away” or not having a reason to live, and also about feeling hopeless. Teens also may be influenced by either someone they know or hear about in the media completing suicide. What should you do if someone your teen knows has attempted or committed suicide? Talk with the teen and ask him/her what he/she is feeling. Often, people are afraid or uncomfortable talking about this. Don’t be afraid to say the word “suicide,” because discussing the subject may help teenagers express their emotions. They may feel guilty or angry or

just upset and sad; they may not even know how they feel. They do need to feel connected to others. They also need to hear that problems, no matter how difficult they seem, can be worked out. Convey your willingness to help. Don’t minimize their emotions and concerns. If you suspect a teen you know is thinking about suicide, get professional help. Locally, you can contact Child Focus (752-1555), the Mental Health and Recovery Board (732-5400), or check with your family doctor or insurance company for other resources. Clermont County has a 24/7 Crisis Hotline (528-SAVE) that you can contact for assistance or suggest your teen call. Remember, even if a teen close to you seems to be giving up, there are available supports and resources to help them deal with their despair and move on to adulthood. Karen J. Scherra is the executive director of the Clermont County Mental Health and Recovery Board.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Why should we listen?

I didn’t get a Milford-Miami Advertiser last week, and was a bit disappointed. I didn’t realize what a blessing that was, until I opened this week’s issue – and there he was – staring out at me with those accusing eyes – Len Harding – excoriating us poor, misguided, God-fearing Christian Conservatives for not being more generous with everyone else’s money. We should provide healthcare for 47 million people in the U.S., including the 11 million, or so, illegal aliens. It’s encouraging to know Len has “ ... driven by a church, or two, and (I) went to Sunday School once.” That’s good news from someone who asks “Why should we let ignorant and intolerant loudmouths determine how we act toward one another as a society?” Why indeed, should we listen to an ignorant and intolerant loudmouth like Len Harding, lecture us on any subject?

CH@TROOM Last week’s question

Has there been a decline in civility at town hall meetings and public meetings in general? If so, why is this happening? “Yes. Emotions are over running manners.” B.L. “People are fed up that the officials that we elected to represent us aren’t. It comes out of frustration.” C.A.S. “The ordinary people are speaking up thus everyone who is not in tune with them thinks they are not civil. For years the ones complaining were not to civil to President Bush. It is about time the real people of this country got off their duffs and expresed their opinion, this is what America is all about.” L.S.

Send your answers to clermont@communitypress.com with “chatroom” in the subject line. “Unfortunately, yes, there has been a decline in civility at town halls and other public meetings. It is undoubtedly politically motivated. … Most people want to hear the facts and debate the issues, not just listen to someone screaming obscenities and name calling. I hope this is not the new America. They have turned off a lot of people by this behavior. Where are the statesmen?” A.T.

Mia Supe participated with the Cincinnati Tea Party organization as they marched on Washington Sept. 12 with other from across the country.

It is not about Republicans or Democrats On Saturday Sept. 12, I had the remarkable privilege of being a part of a historical march on Washington. I had spent the month before scraping together my dollars determined to get to D.C. The 12-hour bus ride with the Cincinnati Tea Party was quite an inspiration to me and my friend Beth Benoit of Amelia. I have always had a keen interest in our government because of my family having so many military ties. Like a great number of others in our country, Beth has been recently awakened to the importance of knowing what is happening behind the curtain of Oz. What we both experienced Saturday, Sept. 12, was life changing. We stood shoulder to shoulder with patriots from all across this nation. A melting pot of redblooded Americans, young and old, held their heads high and stormed the nation’s capital. These were not seasoned protesters. Many have never even considered participating in a such an event as this. Unlike many of those who came before them, who often were seen shouting profanities, turning over garbage cans or

heckling the police officers. These demonstrators marched with a passion I have never seen before. I witnessed a spirit of patriotism, determination and a laser focus on changing the direction of our U.S. government. They were demanding to be heard. I saw people opening crowded pathways for seniors to get by in their wheelchairs. Young parents pushed their strollers and carried their little ones hoping they too might be a part of history. A mother sat with her severely handicapped child stretched across her lap as thousands stood around her. Folks shook the hands of policemen as they marched by thanking them for their service. Personally, I did not hear a single swear word the entire day. Citizens thanked each other for coming out and encouraged the movement to go on. I even saw garbage being picked up as people left the event. It was an attitude of consideration, respect and unity for one another throughout the day. It wasn’t about Republicans or Democrats, Left or Right. It was about hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people, possibly a mil-

lion, coming together to share what they learned as they diligently peeled back the underbelly of their government; not simply depending on the mainstream media, but digging through the Internet, cable television and other media venues to search for the truth. These people were informed. The folks want to know who is running their government and where all the money is going. No longer are so many American’s burying their heads in the sand. This was a day for us to make our Founding Fathers proud. The Constitution is the thread that has kept this great country united and strong since it’s beginning. As we marched down Pennsylvania Avenue we read lines from this magnificent document etched in the sides of the massive buildings. It was at that moment I truly found reassurance in our efforts. A peaceful revolution was rising up. We are all Americans who need to be informed voters. Please take the time to learn about issues and about our leaders no matter what your political party.

Ceremony helps people remember their loved ones By Kellie Geist kgeist@communitypress.com

Black and white photos, family portraits drawn with crayons, poems scribbled onto construction paper. Regardless of what went onto the lanterns people made at the second annual Mt. Moriah Cemetery Lantern Lighting Ceremony, one element accompanied all of them – love. The Lantern Lighting Ceremony, put together by the Union Township trustees and service department, is designed to help people celebrate the lives of the loved ones they’ve lost. This year’s event was held Saturday, Sept. 12. Last year, about 200 people came to the event. This year, that number more than doubled. “I was just overwhelmed by the amount of people who came. I had chairs for 400, so I know more than 400 people came,” said Nancy Woebkenberg, administrative assistant at Mt. Moriah Cemetery and Lantern Lighting Ceremony coordinator. A number of people were sitting on blan-

During the ceremony, guests were treated to a catered dinner while a string trio from the Clermont Philharmonic Orchestra provided musical entertainment. The Union Township Service Department provided the materials to make the lanterns and, following dinner, guests put the lit lanterns onto the pond. Woebkenberg said she received a lot of positive feedback in the days follow-

It was sad, but beautiful.” Woebkenberg is glad the community appreciates the event and is hoping to have another ceremony. “I believe this is something we want to do again

next year. We’ll see how the year shakes out ... But I know having (the Lantern Lighting Ceremony) again is something we want to think about,” she said. “This year’s was great. Everything was fantastic.” Union Township Trustee Matt Beamer, who attended the event last year and this year, also said he would like to see the event continue.

In a sense, he opines, marriage is a trap. A trap to get us to be brave enough to live with love day after day and to learn what love really is. For God knows, we misunderstand love. Spouses quickly become surprised to find out what’s underneath love’s charming exterior, and to know it when it’s stark naked and demystified. When love is demystified and lives with us in the ordinary of every day, it is bothersome at first. We can even become disappointed and disillusioned and start looking for the mystified version again. We’re all seduced at times by the French proverb, “Only the beginnings of love are beautiful” But true love has its own purpose in being so demanding. Its purpose is to gradually transform us and turn us into genuine lovers. That’s why it employs such drastic strategies: asking us to forgive over and over again; to be patient with each other and ourselves; to communicate instead of pouting or keeping a cool

we didn’t realize all its intentions. Suddenly, this elusive and mysterious t h i n g Father Lou called love Guntzelman was not so Perspectives elusive or hidden. Rather, it became that which cannot be gotten rid of (unless we made the decision to throw it out.) What was glamorous and exciting and sexy now has its days when it is anything but all that. What was a dream is now here and asking daily to be listened to. In “The Mystery of Marriage,” author Mike Mason notes, “The situation with love, now that one is married, becomes comparable to the philosophical question about the dog chasing the car - “What happens if he catches it?” Marriage faces spouses with the same question, “What do you do with love once you have finally caught it?”

When two people marry, one of the greatest mysteries of life is gradually demystified before their eyes. For when we marry, love itself comes to live with us. As children we learned there was something called love. Parents, older siblings, schoolmates, songs and movies spoke of it. Often they seemed to imply that love actually was sexuality. We didn’t understand. Yet, since we were old enough to know love existed, and then soon felt its attraction and enchantment we looked for love, too. After many futile relationships, heartaches, and years of searching, we believed we found true love with a special person. It must be true love, we thought, because of the thrilling way it made us feel. We were in love! Our wedding was beautiful, our honeymoon was spent somewhere with our bodies in each other’s arms, and then we moved into a little home of our own. When we moved in, love moved in with us - though

Get your hands on homemade foaming soap With the school year in full swing and flu season upon us, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all into the â&#x20AC;&#x153; w a s h y o u r h a n d s o f t e n â&#x20AC;? mode. I thought it would be good to Rita share my recipe for Heikenfeld h o m e Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen m a d e foaming soap. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually been around a while but is sure timely today.

Plus by making your own foaming soap, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll save money and be doing your part to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;green.â&#x20AC;? Let the kids help â&#x20AC;&#x201C; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have fun, and be more apt to wash their little hands if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made their own soap.

The bonus? More suds with less soap!

Cream puff fillings

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had several requests for cream puffs/fillings for Oktoberfest parties, similar to what Servatiiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s serves. Use your favorite cream puff recipe (I have one on the Web version of this column).

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a couple different fillings. The first filling holds up better, meaning you can fill the puffs and refrigerate them at least several hours before serving; the second filling is more delicate and more creamy.

Fluffy cream puff filling:

This is also good in cream horns, Twinkie-like cakes, etc. Beat together: 1

â &#x201E;2 cup solid shortening like Crisco 2 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 â &#x201E;2 cup confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar Then beat in 1 cup Marshmallow Fluff

Jane and Carolynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cream puff filling:

Jane Cervantes is known as the cake and truffle lady and Carolyn Grieme is a Northern Kentucky reader, known as the gingerbread house queen, and good friend. They both use this for their cream puffs. 11â &#x201E;2 cups cold milk 1 (3/4 ounce) package French vanilla pudding mix 1 cup whipped topping Confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar In a mixing bowl, beat milk and pudding mix on low speed for two minutes. Refrigerate for five minutes. Fold in whipped topping. Fill cream puffs just before serving; replace tops. Dust with confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar.

Tips from readers

From Mark A. regarding â&#x20AC;&#x153;parveâ&#x20AC;? products. Mark says:

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The definition of â&#x20AC;&#x153;parveâ&#x20AC;? (or â&#x20AC;&#x153;pareveâ&#x20AC;?) in your column was only half right. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pareve foods are prepared without meat, milk, or their derivatives and may therefore be eaten with both meat and dairy dishes according to the laws of kashrut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No dairy is correct, but no meat either. Meat can be sneaky; gelatin made from cattle hooves, for instance, is not pareve (probably not kosher either, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beside the point).â&#x20AC;?

Cake tips from Martha

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m taking a cake decorating class at Grant School in Clermont County. Martha Buckler is my teacher and she shared some valuable tips in last nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class: â&#x20AC;˘ Bake cakes and quickbreads at 325 degrees and not at 350 degrees as most recipes state. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to bake them longer but the lower temperature allows them to bake all the way through to the middle without sinking. Especially true for very large cakes. â&#x20AC;˘ To smooth white or pastel color frosting, dip spatula in warm water and smooth over cake. Smooth top first, then sides. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use on chocolate or deeply colored icing as this will leave streaks and spots. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certified culinary professional.

Popcorn is the most popular snack would say Buddy Rue is a little spoiled and that is OK. It is amazing how animals George train us the way we do Rooks things for Ole them. Last SunFisherman day after church I asked Ruth Ann if she would like to go down to the Campbell’s Barn along Ohio 125 for dinner, the noon meal as we call it. The food and service were wonderful. There was a big crowd there. They have a breakfast buffet and lots of folks were taking that and enjoying themselves. Now back up a little, last Saturday morning Ruth Ann said the refrigerator didn’t sound right. Boy was

was great. If any of you folks would like to have Pastor Don Mundy come to your church to tell of his experiences, call 734-4334. Remember the Bethel Lions Club is sponsoring the Kinner Express concert at Burke Park Pavilion at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26. Come out and enjoy this good music. It is free and is a service of the Lions Club. Also at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 27 at the Old Bethel Methodist Church here in East Fork State Park, the Kinner Express will again favor us with their music. Start your week by going to the church of your choice and praise the good Lord. God bless all. More later. George Rooks is a retired park ranger. Rooks served for 28 years with the last five as manager of East Fork State Park.

she right. The automatic defrost heater went bad. Now the food in the fridge needed to be put someplace else, so the two $5 refrigerators we have in the garage were put to use. We called a feller who goes to our church and he came and got it. He called Monday evening and said he thinks he got it fixed. We learned this kind of refrigerator only will last 10 to 15 years. The old ones we have in the garage to keep produce in are old and are running real good. I thank the Good Lord we had them at this time. Last Sunday evening we went to the New Harmony Church to hear the pastor speak about his trip to Vietnam. He was one of eight preachers that made the trip. This was a wonderful evening and the program

Howdy folks, We were watching the agriculture program and they said the most popular snack is popcorn. I can agree to that. Here at our house we have popcorn about three times a week. Ruth Ann makes caramel popcorn a few times and it is so good. There is a FFA chapter in another state that are raising catfish to sell. I imagine that would help the school budget and also educate the students how to make a living and produce food. We were at a family reunion last week for the Kinner family in Batavia and a feller had his beautiful dog Buddy Rue with him. He said the dog can eat 14 White Castle sandwiches in one minute. When this feller was feeding him popcorn, he said he would not eat it out of a bowl. Now I

Somerset, Kentucky’s Premiere Inn Located Just Minutes from Lake Cumberland

There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…

The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods.
