CLERMONT CO. — A pilotproject will make available alimited number of landscapetrees to Clermont Countyproperty owners who hadtrees removed from theirlawnsaspartoferadicationef-forts to keep the Asian long-hornedbeetle fromspreading.

The project, announcedSept. 13, is a joint effort by theOhio Department of NaturalResources and Ohio Depart-ment of Agriculture.

The state agencies Sept. 4announced $250,000 in fund-ing for the tree replacementprogram.

The beetlewas initially dis-

covered in Tate Township in inJune 2011.

The federal and state offi-cials in 2011 began surveyingtrees in theareaandso farhavediscovered more than 8,800trees infested with the beetle.Work crews had removed 8,746of the trees as of Sept. 15.

The state is working withthe U.S. Department of Agri-culture to eliminate thebeetle.

Most of the infestation hasbeen in Tate Township and Be-thel, with isolated areas of in-festation in Monroe and Sto-nelick townships.

“If the Asian longhornedbeetle escapes from the Be-thel area and spreads acrossOhio then 1,000-fold the cur-rent number of landowners

will be impacted and tens ofthousands of jobs could be lostin thenurseryandwood indus-tries,” said Robert Boyles,state forester and chief of theODNR Division of Forestry.“This pilot project is meant toshow appreciation for the co-

BETHEL — Tim Smith,third generation owner ofthe Ben Franklin store at305 W. Plane St., said heplans to rebuild his storeafter it was extensivelydamagedwhen amotoristcrashed into it.

Police Chief MarkPlanck said the crash oc-curred about 1 p.m. Sept.13 as Heather High, 38, of3635 Highland Green,Pierce Township, wastraveling eastbound onPlane Street.

High told police herbrakes failed, and instead

of hitting the car in frontof her, she swerved to theright, went up on the side-walk and crashed into thestore’s plate glass win-dow.

High was taken to thehospital where she wastreated for injuries andreleased, Planck said.

The injuries were notsevere, he said.

Smith said two of hiscashiers, Vicky Murphyand Liz Baker, both of theBethel area, were at cashregisters behind the store-front when the crash oc-curred. Theywere taken toClermont Mercy Hospitalwhere they were treatedfor injuries and released.

Planck said High wascharged with operating avehicle without reason-able control.

Smith said that in addi-tion to breaking the win-dow, the crashbadly dam-aged a brick wall. He saidhe had no estimate yet ofthe amount of damage,but is working with an ar-

chitect to draw up plansfor rebuilding.

“It’s going to need awhole new storefront,”Smith said.

He said between his in-surance and the motorist’sinsurance, the cost of re-buildingshouldbecovered.

The building will notlook the same after resto-ration, Smith said, be-cause the bricks were puton the building in 1958and can’t be matched.

“They don’t makethem anymore,” he said.

The building itself ismore than 200 years old,Smith said.

The broken windowhas been boarded up, andtheBenFranklin store re-mains open for business,he said.

Smith said his twocashiers are a little sore,but otherwise fine.

“In one fell swoop, Ithought I lostmybuildingand two employees,” hesaid.

BATAVIA — ClermontCounty commissioners arestudying the option of of-fering a high-deductiblehealth insurance plan tocounty employees in an ef-fort to hold down risingcosts.

Commissioners Sept. 17met with representativesfrom health insurance con-sultants Horan AssociatesInc.duringan informalses-sion.

The meeting was justthe first step in selecting ahealth care plan for 2013,saidBobSander, countyhu-man resources director.

“Today is just a discus-sion – not a recommenda-tion – to see what’s avail-able,” Sander said.

Total medical costs forthe county are projected torise from about $11.1 mil-

lion in 2012 to $11.6 millionin 2013, said Steve Ashe,Horan account manager.

By adding a high-de-ductible plan to the two ex-isting plans, total cost woldincrease only slightly, hesaid.

“The high-deductibleplan would save both thecounty and employeesmoney,” Ashe said.

The planwould have de-ductibles of $2,500 for anindividual and $5,000 for afamily.

Once the deductible ismet, the planwould pay100percent, Ashe said.

Premiums would belower than the traditionalplans andemployeeswouldbe eligible to open a healthsavings account, whichcould be funded by thecounty, he said.

Once the county putsmoney inaHSA, it’s theem-ployees’ money to use for

health care costs, said JudiMeyer, vice president ofHoran.

Unlike a flexible spend-ing account, the employeedoes not lose the unusedfunds in aHSAat the endofthe year, she said.

The Horan representa-tives said traditional healthinsurance planswould con-tinue to be offered in addi-tion to the high-deductibleplan.

“The key is, it’s just anoption,” CommissionerBob Proud said.

The commissionersmade no decision on 2013health plans at the session.

Commissioner EdHum-phrey said he thought em-ployees would need moretime to study the high-de-ductible proposal.

“Ifwedid itnowitwouldbe difficult for employeesto make a decision,” hesaid.

BETHEL—Much like lastyear, the Bethel-Tate boys soc-cer team is having a good seasonoverall, but needs to overtakesome teams to have a shot attheir first Southern BuckeyeConference-American divisiontitle since 2009.

The Tigers are led by a soph-omore and a senior who areamong the top 20 offensive play-ers in the city.

“Yeah, Jason (Altmayer) andTyler Atkins are our two leadingscorers,” senior captain andcenter midfielder Jacob Fischersaid at a recent practice.

Fischer has had one goal sofar and usually contributesmore in the assist department,along with fellow senior JasonAdams and junior Jared Iding.

Among Bethel-Tate’s wins area couple of onslaughts againstSt. Bernard and ClermontNortheastern where 18 totalgoals were scored. Against, St.Bernard, Altmayer recorded hisfirst “hat trick”.

“In high school, yes,” Alt-

mayer said.For being such a prolific

scorer, Altmayer claims his firstinstinct is to pass.

“Pushing up on the last de-fender and getting Adam Shin-kle or Fischer the ball,” Alt-mayer said when asked whatwas working for the Tigersoffensively.

Of course, Altmayer likes tohave the ball back from Shinkleor Fischer to work his magic.Oddly enough, the goal that

stands out for him this seasondidn’t even come off of his cleat.

“A chest shot,” Altmayer saidproudly.

Fischer interjected: “We’ve(also) had several off headersoff corner kicks.”

Jared Iding, Zac Conrad andNick Marshall take the cornersfor Bethel-Tate and in mostgames they’ve had plenty of

them. However, the lopsidedwins over Goshen, St. Bernardand CNE aren’t as significantfor senior captain Fischer.

He enjoyed their lone offen-sive shutout.

“We played Amelia and lost3-0,” Fischer said. “That’s prob-ably our toughest competition inthe league. We play them againat Bethel this time (Sept. 27).”

The Barons and seniors An-thony Clark, Cody Sprague andJosh Drennan stand in front ofBethel-Tate and a title shot. Toadvance, the Tigers need winsand some help.

“We have a good chance,”Fischer said. “New Richmond’spretty good too this year. Theybeat us 3-2, but they got theirlast goal with a minute or twoleft.”

The Tigers may have made abetter run last year had Alt-mayer been able to play as afreshman. He injured his ham-string and missed his inauguralvarsity season.

“He would’ve helped us,”Fischer said. “We did good lastyear. We got third in the league.

We probably needed anotherscorer and he would’ve beenthat.”

Along with Altmayer, TylerAtkins has been the typicalproductive athlete that fans atBethel-Tate have become accus-tomed to seeing each season. Inaddition to kicking soccer goals,he’s placekicking for footballcoach Bill Jenike. Jenike alsowould like to utilize himmore onthe field because of his speed.

While missing Atkins onFridays for football, the Tigersalso have other athletes whowear other uniforms on occa-sion.

“There’s several that do crosscountry and soccer,” Fischersaid.

At the very least, Bethel-Tatemight have the best conditionedteam in the league. It alsodoesn’t hurt that soccer chiefDave Schellenberger doubles asthe Tigers track coach in thespring.

After the Amelia rematchSept. 27, the Tigers visit Nor-wood on Oct. 2.

BATAVIA — Off to a 6-4 start,the Clermont Northeastern girlssoccer team is looking for itsthird winning season in fouryears under coach Misty Goetz.

“I’ve worked really hard tobuild the team at CNE,” Goetzsaid. “We’ve come a long way inthe past four years.”

Goetz stepped down after last

season to tend to family, butdidn’twant to leavewhatshebuiltin the hands of another.

“I wanted to see the programcontinue,” shesaid. “Thegirlsaresoacceptingofmeandrespectfulofme. I think to some extent theywant to do well because we havesuch a good relationship. I dokind of take pride in myself withwhat we’ve built here. It’s nice tocome back to a team that wel-comesme and is playing sowell.”

After losing the first twogames of the season to Wilming-ton and Batavia, the Lady Rock-ets ran off five wins in a row andsix of eight. They are currentlyrankedNo.10 inTheEnquirerDi-

vision III area coaches’ poll.Of their four losses, two came

to ranked teams (Batavia, West-ern Brown) while Wilmington isjust outside the top10 andAmeliais 6-1-3 on the season.

“My team is doing awesome,”Goetz said. “They are coming to-gether nicely. We’ve played ex-tremely well against everyoneexceptAmelia.We’ve been an ex-cellent passing team, which iswhat we try to focus on. We’vedone better with finishing. Myfreshmen are amazing. I’m justso excited about them, and myseniors are doing great.”

SeniorEmmaWright has beenkey for the Lady Rockets. She

leads her team with 13 points, in-cluding six goals and an assist.

“She’s been a key factor espe-cially as a playmaker on thefield,” her coach said. “She issomeone who controls the inten-sity of the game with how sheplays.”

Two of the freshmen Goetz isexcited about are defenders Lex-ie Walker and Katlin Reese. Itwas at preseason junior varsityscrimmage against Seton whenWalker made an impression.

“Theyhavereallyaddedtoourdefense,” Goetz said. “It’s justamazing to watch them. (Lexie)just impressed me so much. Ihadn’t considered her for varsity

before (the scrimmage) and nowshe is a starting varsity player.”

Oneof thesurprisesof thesea-son came at a cost. Against Bata-via the Lady Rockets’ top scorerfrom 2011, Kyla Toles, was takenout and will miss the entire sea-sondue to injury.SophomoreJen-ny Erikson stepped in for Tolesand has four goals and an assistthis season.

“She is a really quiet, shy girlbutshe isoneof the topscorersonthe team,” Goetz said. “I just callher silent but deadly. She gets outthere and just gets the job done.She stepped in and took (Toles’)spot and has been very success-ful.”

MILFORD — It was just twoyears ago when Milford’s Ra-chael Sullivan was a first-teamall-league player and finished10th in the Fort Ancient ValleyConference in kills per game.

Going into the 2012 seasonthere was a lot of uncertaintysurrounding Sullivan and if shecould get back to where she wasas a sophomore.

After missing all of last sea-sonwith a torn anterior cruciateligament, the senior is back onthe court leading the EasternCincinnati Conference in kills(127) and kills per game (3.18).

“I think I’ve played a lot bet-ter than I thought I was going tocoming back from the injury,”Sullivan said. “I didn’t think I

would be first in the league inkills, but I’ve just been workinghard and strengthening my legand trying to get back to thewayI used to be.”

The road back wasn’t easy. Itwas a process that started withbaby steps and eventually ledher to where she is today.

“It is definitely hard comingback,” she said. “When I first gotcleared I wasn’t at full strengthlike I amnow.Therewere a lot ofstressful moments, but I had topush myself. Some days wereharder than others, but I justkept wanting to get back nomat-ter what it took or howmentallypainful it was.”

Even back at full strength,Sullivan still hasmental hurdlesevery time she feels the slight-est pain in her leg.

“In the beginning I alwaysthought there was somethingwrong,” she said concerning thepain in her leg. “But, after talk-ing with others who (wentthrough the same injury) it isnormal. There will always be

pain but you just have to pushthrough and ignore the pain.”

Sullivan has her Lady Eaglesoff to a 9-5 start and sitting inthird place in the newly formedECC. The new league and her in-jury brought forth an interest-ing start to the season.

“The season has been good,”Sullivan said. “Thewhole leaguehas been crazy. We are really upand more positive this year,more than in the past.”

With the season just past thehalfway point, Sullivan is look-ing forward to leading her LadyEagles to a league champion-ship: Something thatwould put acap on an incredible comebackand very nice high school ca-reer.

“We had it in ourmindset thatwe were going to be the team towin the league,” the senior said.“We knew with the talent com-ing back, the underclassmenand the people we have, it is justa really exciting thing to knowwe are going to possibly win theleague.”

WILLIAMSBURG— In only theirsecond year with a golf team, theWilliamsburg Wildcats havefound their ace.

Senior Kendal Young has onlybeen playing regularly for a littlemore than two years but has ledhis Wildcats to a 14-stroke lead inthe Southern Buckeye Athleticand Academic Conference cham-pionships, broke the school recordfor lowest nine-hole roundwith aneven-par 35 at Cedar Trace and istied for first in the league for low-est score.

“He can coach the coach,”‘Burg coach Byron Jody said.“Golf-wise I work with him on hismental preparation. He works atElks Run (golf course) and prac-tices hard. As a teacher of golf, hecan teach me.”

In the first competitive matchat Williamsburg last year Youngshot a 37, somethingmany golferswish they could do after playingfor years.

“I’d played a couple times withmy dad and I fell in love with thegame,” Young said. “I figured Iwanted to work hard and get goodat it. Practice never got old.”

Following his 35 at CedarTrace, Young answered it with aone-under 35 at Elks Run and a 36at Wilmington Elks. Then came a41 at Buttermilk Falls - a respect-ful score but a score Young wantsto improve upon.

“I was kind of fading off a bit,

but I’m trying to get back in thegroove,” the senior said. “I’m justtrying to not look ahead.Whenyoustart out good, you have the pres-sure to do good. It gets in yourhead a little bit when things don’tgo your way. I just have to stay fo-cused and play my game.”

With it being his senior year,Young wanted nothing more thanto have a magical golf season totake him into basketball season,where he became the first athletein Wildcat history to score his1000th point during their juniorseason.

“It’s been fun,” he said aboutthe start to his year. “It’s your sen-ior year so everything is kind ofdumbed-down a little bit. It’s beenchallenging. I’m having a goodyear and I wanted to kick the yearoff with golf and have it roll intobasketball season.”

While Young wants to play ei-ther golf or basketball at the nextlevel, his coach will always re-member his No. 1 golfer.

“The amazing thing is that wejust started golf last year,” Jodysaid. “It has just been a real plea-sure.”

The greatest benefit for meto working with groups likeTEDxCincinnati is the inspira-tion that is passed along by peo-ple who are truly passionateabout affecting change.

For the past several weeksI’ve been part of the TEDxCin-cinnati leadership team, work-ing to bring people together foran Oct. 4 “Every Citizen a Diplo-mat.”

Sponsored by Cincinnati USASister Cities and Sister CitiesInternational, TEDxCincinnatiwill bring thought provokingideas to life at the National Un-dergound Railroad FreedomCenter with speakers and per-formers. They’ll share personalstories and talk about the powerwithin each of us to bridge cul-tural understanding and cooper-ation, and to build and strength-en relationships in our owncommunities, our country andaround the world.

Our ultimategoal? We wantto spark ener-gy, conversa-tion and action.We want tobuild on Great-er Cincinnati’smomentum thatwe’ve alreadydemonstratedthis summer ofembracing

diverse cultures with opennessand appreciation.

When Bob Herring, principalof Nativity School in PleasantRidge, told me he believes thatin order to move forward, wemust begin with the kids inelementary school I could hearhis conviction in his voice. Hehas facilitated 42 student ex-changes with 24 school in 18countries since joining theSchool in 1984; and the Schoolhas been involved with the inter-

national ‘Friendship Project’much longer. Right now actuallyhis school is hosting studentsfromHungary.

“If we could bring the youngpeople of the world together,they could form those friend-ships and relationships thatwould lead to a future we allwant. They would learn thatstereotypes that they held aboutother nations and cultures, othertraditions and languages werereally not true,” he had told theSt. Anthony Messenger.

I learned this firsthand when,as an 11-year-old, I was involvedwith Children’s InternationalSummer Village. It really didn’tseem to matter when I didn’t usethe same words to communicatewith others from countries I hadonly seen on a map. The lan-guage of smiles and laughter,tears and hugs, hopes anddreams…those are universal.

When people of different

cultures, races, religions, ages,and socio-economic back-grounds come together withopenness and cooperation it is abeautiful thing. When all of usnot just accept but appreciatehow diversity strengthens usand strengthens our community,then we all benefit.

I invite you to join us. It isgoing to be a powerful night. Toregister, please visitwww.TEDxCincinnati.com.

“Yes and no. Mayor's Courtis a sureway for the townorvil-lage to collect a larger percent-age of fines from traffic andmisdemeanor infractions.When you go through aMunici-pal Court system the fines col-lected are less for the chargingmunicipality. Is it a waste oftime to attend a Mayor's Courtto settle your offense, yes it is.”

“No,mayor'scourtsshouldnotbe abolished. If they are it wouldbe another example of the coun-try, state and federal governmentexpanding and growing govern-ment entitles when certain pow-ers should rest with localmunici-palities.

“Also, with state and federalfunding being cut this is a wayfor municipalities to collectrevenue tohelppayforcityser-vices that serve that communi-ty, but also all of thosewhopassthrough that community (ex.

an outcry, specifically againstthe speed-trap zone on Inter-state 75 in which those caughtwere subject to mayor's court.If you obey the law, in this casethe speed limit, you will neverhave to fear or care aboutmay-or's courts.”

It’s starting to feel, andlook like, autumn. The topsof themaple trees havesplashes of red, orange andyellow. And this morningwhen I went out for a bikeride, I got no farther thanthe bend in the road when I

had to turnaround andchangefrom aT-shirt to asweatshirt.

Are youready forfall? I’mnot sure Iam, but it’scomingnonethe-

less. Our farmer neighbor,Ed Kluba, predicts frost inthe next couple of weeks.That’s according to theOld Farmer’s Almanac, Edtold me. Fall is a perfecttime to start roastingdinner in the oven insteadof turning on the grill.

Roasted chickenwith Greek herbs

Sometimes I’ll use justbreasts and thighs. the highheat gives the chicken anincredibly crisp skin. Thisis one of those “hurryhome”meals. Freshlyground peppermakes thisa standout dish. If you don’t

have a peppermill, put it onyour wish list. Makes allthe difference in the world,and pepper has lots ofantioxidants. Ditto for theoregano, one of themosthealing herbs on the planet.

1 chicken, cut up, about 3pounds

6 Italian tomatoes, cut intoquarters

1 very large yellow onion4 Yukon gold or large redpotatoes, cut into quartersor big chunks

Salt and pepper to taste¼ cup fresh oregano, or agenerous 2 teaspoons dry

1⁄3 cup olive oil or bit more asneeded

1⁄3 cup fresh lemon juice1 tablespoon fresh garlic,minced

Preheat oven to 450.Toss chicken, tomatoes,onion and potatoes withsalt and pepper. Put chick-en and vegetables in largebowl. Mix oregano, oil,lemon juice and garlic

together. Pour over chick-en and vegetables. Put intoshallow roasting pan,placing chicken piecesskin side up on top ofvegetables. Roast 1 houror until chicken is goldenand cooked through.

Big & bold onionrings

OK I can’t figure outwhere the recipe originat-ed, but it has been in myfiles for a while with ashorthand note that I can’t

read. (Funny, I can stillwrite in shorthand soeasily, but the translationis another matter …).Anyway, the note from thesender said “This hasspoiled me. No restaurantrings are as good.” ForMegan, an AndersonTownship reader.

Oil for frying2 large sweet Vidalia onions2 cans, 5 oz ea., evaporatedmilk

1 cup flour½ teaspoon dry mustardCayenne pepper – start with1/4 teaspoon or to taste

1 teaspoon paprikaSalt to taste

Heat 1 inch of oil infrying pan over mediumhigh heat. Slice onionsacross into 1-inch ringsand separate, discardingouter layer of skin. Pourmilk in bowl. Mix flourwith seasonings in shallowdish. Dip rings in milk,then coat with flour. Fry insingle layer (oil should beabout 360) until golden.Place on paper towels todrain. Salt while still hot.

Sauce for dippingMix together 1 cup sour

cream, cayenne pepperand cumin to taste (startwith about 1/2 teaspoon

each) and stir in chilisauce to taste, startingwith 1/4 cup.

Ingredients

Frosty Orange JuliusGosh, this brings backmemories fromwhenmykids were young. Whatgoes around, comesaround.

6 oz frozen orange juiceconcentrate, thawed

1 cupmilk1 cup water¼ cup sugar or substitute1-½ teaspoons vanillaextract

10 to 12 ice cubes

DirectionsIn a blender, combine

the orange juice, milk,water, sugar and vanilla.Cover and blend untilsmooth. With blenderrunning, add ice cubes,one at a time, through theopening in lid. Blend untilsmooth. Serve immedi-ately. Yield: 4-5 servings.

Power companiesaround the country arehearing from consumersconcerned about newSmart Meters being put onhomes.

They transmit yourhome’s electric usage, andsome fear the meters emitpotentially harmful radia-tion. Studies show that’snot the case, but now thesome people are question-ing the studies.

Mike Mannarino, ofAnderson Township, isn’tconcerned about that, he’stroubled about possiblespying. “It’s a surveillancedevice essentially becausethey can tell what actuallytakes place inside thehome,” he said.

The Smart Meters dorecord the electricityusage in your home everyfew seconds and transmitthe information to a termi-nal. Mannarino said thatinformation can be used todetermine whether you’reusing enough energy-efficient devices in yourhome.

“It’s gradually intru-sive: A little bit today. I

think the-re’ll bemore to-morrowand, frank-ly, I don’tfeel theyneed thatinforma-tion,” Man-narino said.

ButDuke Energy spokeswom-an Sally Thelen refutesthis. “This is completelynot true. I can tell you,Howard, the only thingwe’re getting from thesemeters is howmuch elec-tricity you’re using. Wedon’t know what appli-ances are being used. Wedon’t know anything spe-cific at all,” Thelen said.

Nevertheless, Mannari-no said, “If they determineyou’re not doing the thingsthey think you should, Isee in the future wherethey could charge you ahigher rate.”

“There is no way thatsomebody’s monitoringthe usage all the time.There’s a lot of fallacy outthere on the Internet,”

Thelen said. She said thereis no large room wheresomeone is monitoring theusage in each house. In-stead, she said, the dailyreadings just go into bigcomputer servers.

Thelen said Duke is 75percent complete in mod-ernizing its grid withthese digital meters. Sincethese meters transmit theusage, she said the compa-ny figures there will befar fewer estimated bills.When the upgrade is com-plete at the end of nextyear Duke can re-routeelectricity if there’s apower outage in an area.

In addition, there could be“time of use pricing.” Thisallows customers to savemoney by, for instance,doing their wash at nightwhen electric rates arereduced.

In the meantime, thosewith these Smart Meterscan go online to Duke’swebsite and check theirusage. The meters captureenergy usage daily andthat’s available to custom-ers the next day. Dukesaid this can help custom-ers make wiser energydecisions and avoid billingsurprises at the end of themonth.

Howdy Folks;Last weekRuthAnn put

celerywe raised in thefreezer forwinter to cookwith. A neighbor gave us theplants this spring.We hadnever raised celery before,but will again next year.

A young lady from theSenior Citizens Center,called a couple weeks agoand asked if I would comeand talk to the seniors onetime a month. Ruth Annand I went Sept. 11 andspoke to these folks thereat the Adult Day Center.There were more than 50people there. It is so spe-cial for us to be with thesefolks. They have so muchto contribute if folks

would justlisten –they haveraised afamily,dealt withthe worldissues andbeen help-ful to theirneighbors.

Theroom they meet in iscalled the Lodge; it is alsoused for meetings, din-ners, receptions, etc ... it isbeautiful with a big fire-place, so stop and take alook. If you have an eventcoming up you can rent it.

I hope you read theEnquirer, Sept. 16. On the

front page was a storyabout a feller with Downsyndrome. He was the batboy for the Reds ballteam. Folks, that reallytouched me. These folkshave so much love toshare and can be so help-ful if given a chance. TheCincinnati Reds folks areto be thanked for giving“Ted” this oppurtunity.The players, I am sure, gotmore out of this than Teddid. The club needs to dothis more often. There area lot of young folks whowould like to have thisopportunity. Thanks Reds,from the Ole Fisherman.

The Bethel Lions Clubwent to Bethel Woods to

furnish the folks a supperand the Club men madecakes to be judged by theresidents. This is a specialtime for the club to sharean evening with thesefolks and enjoy their com-pany. There is so much wecan learn from them – andthe thanks and beautifulsmiles we get.

Ruth Ann and I haveknown several of thesefolks and when we seethem it is a time for somehugs and hellos. The Be-thel Woods is a specialcommunity.

The winners of thecake contest were: firstplace, Ken; second place,Jim, and third place, an-other Jim. The folks sureenjoy all the food. We tooka walnut sheet cake. Thefolks keep an eye on whobrings what cakes.

The meal was preparedand served by Diane, fromthe Kate’s Carryout. Thisyoung lady caters themeal for the Lions Clubmeetings and has for sev-eral years and does a su-

per job. The folks at Be-thel Woods always ask ifDiane is going to furnishthe food. They are so hap-py when they learn she isdoing it.

Wewent ot Felicity to theARCOwood products andgot a bunch of dowel rods tobuild log bird houses andlittle wheeelbarrows to setflower pots in. There is somuch to use these dowellrods for. They range from10to18 inches long and aremade out of Oak.

They have a large pileof these rejected rods thatthey can’t use. Thesemake a great fire andwould produce fine heat.They are there for you toget, no cost. Just ask at theoffice about getting them.T owners are so nice.

Last week Ruth Annand I went fishing andcaught some fine 10-11inch crappie. When I tiedup the pontoon I put aminnow on Ruth Ann’shook, she dropped it in thewater. I turned to get mypole, she caught a bigcrappie. I put anotherminnow on for her, shedropped it down, I turnedto get my pole, she landedanother big crappie. I putthat fish in the live wellwith the other one, putanother minnow on herhook, she dropped the baitback in the water, I turned

to get my pole, she landedanother big crappie. So Ithought I might as welljust bait her hook.

Well, I finally got tofish and we caught a nicebunch of crappie, andsome bluegill and a couplesmall channel catfish,which we put back into thelake. We went to GrantsFarm to get some corn, soRuth Ann fried up somecrappie to give to Dannie.He likes Crappie. We gavesome to his wife a weekbefore; she ate the fish, soDanny got some last week.

We got a call from alady that they are having adog parade Saturday, Sept.22, at Stonelick Lake, andasked if I would be one ofthe judges, so in the nextarticle I will tell who wasthe winning dog.

Mark your calendar foroct. 5 for the Bethel-TateHomecoming parade. Thiswill be a long parade. TheBethel Lions Club will bein it, on a trailer pulled bya tractor, driven andowned by Ken.

Start your week bygoing to the house of wor-ship of your choice andpraise the Good Lord. GodBless All. More Later.

Recent Quality Care Therapy ReviewsPatricia B. was admitted to Mt. Washington Care Center after a fall at home.Initially fall x-rays did not show a fracture. After a few weeks with increased pain, Patreturned to the hospital and a second x-ray showed a fracture to her femur. Pat underwentsurgical repair, she had a screw fixation of the femoral neck performed by a physician inthe Wellington Orthopaedic Group. Upon arrival at Mt. Washington Care Center, Pat wasdependent on staff members to assist her with bathing, dressing and transferring fromwheelchair to bed and to her chair. Pat received physical and occupational therapy forapproximately six weeks. After her rehabilitation process, Pat was able to take care of allher personal needs from bathing and dressing to transfers. She was also able to progressfrom requiring the assistance from staff members to move herself to walking independentlywith a rolling walker over 250 feet, and getting in and out of bed and in and out of a carindependently. Pat is now home with her loving husband.

Vicki D. came to Mt. Washington Care Center with congestive heart failure after spendingtime at Drake Hospital for rehabilitation, which at the time was too intense for her totolerate. Vicki was on 2 liters of oxygen, unable to take care of her personal needs, andunable to walk more than 10 feet with oxygen and a rolling walker without stopping torest. Vicki received physical and occupational therapy for approximately four weeks. Afterthose four weeks of therapy, Vicki is now able to independently dress, bathe and sheis walking 250 feet with a cane and without the use of oxygen. With the support of herfamily and home care, Vicki returned home with her family. Good luck Vicki!

Jane L. chose to come to Mt. Washington Care Center after an accident at work whichresulted in a broken hip requiring joint replacement surgery. After approximately fiveweeks of receiving physical and occupational therapy, Jane was able to independentlytake care of all of her personal care needs. She was also able to walk independently witha rolling walker over 200 feet. Jane had to work through restrictions from her surgeonregarding weight bearing.

After almost six weeks of therapyaddressing her ability to take care of her personal needs, her ability to walk, her standingand walking balance, Jane was able to return to her home and begin the retirement thatwas planned prior to her accident.

The Clermont County Fair-grounds was the setting for aday-long training exerciseSept. 14.

The exercisewas a joint ef-fort between the ClermontCounty General Health Dis-trict and Hamilton CountyPublic Health, in recognitionof National PreparednessMonth in September.

Teams from both agencieswere taskedwithconstructing

awing of the Alternative CareCenter, a 210-bed mobile fieldhospital purchased by theSouthwest Ohio Public HealthRegion to be used duringemergencies. The mobilemedical facility can providetriage, acute care, and inpa-tient treatment tovictimsdur-ing a disaster. Each wing con-sists of three large tents, twoconnecting vestibules, floor-ing, 30 beds,medical supplies,

lights, heating, ventilation, airconditioning and a generator.

The training exercise al-lowed both the Clermont andHamilton County ACC setupteams to practice construct-ing the mobile hospital.

“The Clermont CountyGeneral Health District reliesheavily oncountypartners forthe delivery and setup of theACC,” emergency responsecoordinator Tim Kelly said.
