UNION TWP. — The ClermontCounty commissionersMarch 6approved a tax abatement forCapital Investment Group Inc.for the Ivy Pointe Lofts devel-opment.

A Community ReinvestmentArea (CRA) was approved bythe commissioners Dec. 5 toprovide an opportunity for a taxabatement where the lofts will

be built. Theabatement is forsix years and for50 percent of ex-pected taxes.

The develop-ment will be at4380 EastgateBlvd., near theintersection of

Aicholtz Road and EastgateBoulevard.

Groundbreaking for the pro-ject took place March 11.

“We’re really excited tocome to the area,” said DavidBastos, a Capital InvestmentGroup partner.

Of the estimated $10,670,448construction cost, $10,570,448 iseligible for exemption, said An-dy Kuchta, director of the de-partment of community andeconomic development.

Annually, $125,354 in taxeswill be abated. The companywill pay $147,361 annually,which includes taxes on the

BATAVIA — Officials have apre-agreement with one ofthree property owners whohope to annex more than 200acres into the village from Ba-tavia Township.

Officials hope to soon haveagreements with the other twoproperty owners to complete atype-two annexation, saidDen-nisNichols, villageadministra-tor.

The locationsof the landwillnot be announced until thethree agreements are signed,Nichols said.

Council members March 4authorized the administratorto hire a lawyer and surveyor

pending the agreements.Nichols hopes to hire them

by March 15, but the timing isdependent on the propertyowners, he said.

“I’mfairlycertain twoof thethree property owners willhave agreements to me bythen,” he said.

Once agreements are ob-tained, the next step would beto do survey work and file a

petition with thecounty commis-sioners, he said.

The townshipand village bothmust rule to ap-prove or object tothe annexationwithin 25 days ofthe petition, he

said. Failure to rule is acceptedas approval.

Because the properties areprivately owned, Nichols saidhe does not expect objectionfrom the township trustees.

“If it’s their (the propertyowners’) wish, then it’s theirwish,” said township Adminis-trator Rex Parsons.

Mayor John Thebout saidprevious annexations were

sought by village officials, butthis timepropertyownershavecome to them wanting theirproperty in the village.

“People are coming to us tosee what we can do to helpthem develop something thatwould help the village and helpthem,” he said.

The plan is to develop theterritory as a mixed-use com-mercial and residential devel-opment.

To develop the land asmixed-use, council must passan ordinance to allow PlannedUnit Development (PUD) zon-ing in the village.

Council heard a first read-ing and set aMay 6 hearing forthe ordinance.

CIC,” he said.The parcels could be

covered under one JEDD,but townshipandcityoffi-cials chose to create sep-arate districts, he said.

“It’s easier to track and

see the performance ofthe individual projects,”he said.

The JEDD will be for30 years, with an optionfor two 20-year renewals,Wright said.

The city’s one-percentincome tax will be leviedon any employees of thebuilding, he said. The netwill be divided, with 15

percent going to Milfordand 85 percent to theUnion Township, he said.

Union Township offi-cials can use the proceedsto pay for land cost, im-provements to the build-ing or roadway improve-ments, he said.

He said the city is notrequired to provide anypublic services to theproperty.

“It simply will be onemore revenue source forthe city,” he said.

The district will begoverned by a five-mem-ber board with one repre-sentative from the cityand township each, amember representing abusiness owner in the dis-trict, an employee from abusiness in the districtand an at-large memberselected by the other four,Wright said.

CLERMONT COUNTY —Despite the tissue boxeson every table, red, whiteand blue balloons indicat-ed the cause for a recentcelebration at the WholeInMyHeartmilitary sup-port group’s monthlymeeting.

The people, dressed inred, white and blue,shared one purpose - tocelebrate their fifth anni-versary as a group.

County CommissionerBob Proud founded thegroup in early 2008 afterhearing a Navy seaman’s

televised “shout-out” tomembers of the AmeliaChurch of Christ.

“It hit me that … wewere doing so much forour troops, butweweren’tdoing anything for theirfamilies,” Proud said.

For some, the group isa necessity.

“It’s the best thing thatever happened to me,”said Mary Kaye Neuhausof Amelia.

Neuhaus, whose son,Donald Lawrence, is anArmyNationalGuardser-geant, first attended ameeting in February 2010and has been at every onesince.

She is less stressedsince joining the group,she said, and her relation-ship with her son, whichhad grown distant andstrained, has improved.

“We are so close now,”she said.

Having a group of peo-ple who understand hersituation helps her dealwith stressors like notknowing Lawrence’swhereabouts.

“Yourframeofmind is:My son is going to beOK,”she said.

Like her mother,Megan Neuhaus said herrelationship with Law-rence has improved sincejoining the group.

“I feel like we’ve got-ten a lot closer,” she said.

Although she initiallydid not want to go to themeetings,membersmadeher feel welcome, and shedecided to return. Since2010, she has developedfriendships with othergroup members, some ofwhom are her mother’sage or older.

“Outside the group, Idon’t have a lot of peoplewho can relate tome,” shesaid.

WhenMarineCpl.Dan-iel Gibbs was deployed toAfghanistan, his father,Ron Gibbs, said he bene-fited from the experienceand knowledge othergroup members shared.

Gibbs also served as aMarine, but because heservedduringpeace time,from 1976 to 1979, he didnot know much about thedeployment process. Oth-er group members of-fered information thathelped him prepare, hesaid.

Gibbs has been able to

help people, too. He triestohelpothermembersun-derstand that it is not un-usual for military menand women not to callhome, he said.

“They’ve got jobs to dothere,” he said. “They’rebusy. They’re growing upand becoming their ownpeople.”

The group is not justfor familymembersofde-ployed military person-nel. Somegroupmembershave family memberswho are deployed or whohave been deployed,while others never have

been. Some currently areenlisted, while othershave completed their ser-vice.

The group is open to allindividuals with a lovedone in themilitary, orwhosimply want to supportthe troops, Proud said.

In addition sharing sto-ries, meetings usuallyfeature speakers who fo-cus on topics like post-traumatic stress and trau-matic brain injury. Thespeaker inMarchdiscuss-

ed legalmatters thatmustbe addressed before de-ployment, Proud said.

“Wewant to make sureeverything that we do isrelevant,” he said.

Whole In My Heartmeets at 7 p.m. the firstThursday of every monthin the lower level of theUnion Township CivicCenter, 4350 AicholtzRoad.

For more informationabout the group, contactProud at 518-2230.

ute to the DarfurDream Team, apartnership oforganizationsand professionalbasketball play-ers working toprovide educa-tion for Darfurirefugees.

Devine said part of hiscourse curriculum is comingupwithways to give back and helpothers.

“It’s just the idea of serviceand being able to give back andways students can work on

that,” he said.Hesaidthemoneyraisedwill

go toward buying school books,buildingdesks and school build-ings and hiring teachers.

Seniors Brittani Glazer andCaitlin Harbison organized thetalent show along with class-mate Isaac Gibson.

“In middle school, we had atalent show every year, andCaitlin and I liked that,” Glazersaid. “I realized we don’t haveanything like that here.”

The talent show will consistof 10 to 12 performances, De-vine said.

Performances include sing-ing, piano and guitar perfor-mances and acting, Harbisonsaid.

JoshuaStratton, aColumbus,Ohio, native who spent the lasttwo years as the head footballcoach at Lloyd High School inErlanger, Ky., has been namedthe new New Richmond headcoach, pending school board ap-proval.

“Coach Stratton stood out tous among a deeppool of candi-dates,” said Su-perintendentAdam Bird in an-nouncing thehire March 7.“Hewill continuethe NR traditionof excellent lead-ership from the

football coach. I believe that hewill have an outstanding impacton the lives of our football play-ers andon the studentshehas inclass.”

A graduate of MoreheadState, Stratton replaces ScottHerman,whocoached theLionsfor the 2012 season before de-ciding toreturn toMontgomery,Texas, where he had coachedfor six years.

“I feel completely blessedwith this opportunity,” saidStratton. “I’ve had my eye onNew Richmond and when thisjob came up again, therewas noway that I wasn’t going to pur-sue it. It’s not just football; it’sacademics, commitment andeverything that makes NewRichmond a great place tocoach and teach.”

Stratton was named the 2012Owen Hauck Award recipientgiven by the Northern Ken-tucky Football Coaches Associ-ation given for turning around astruggling program aftercoaching Lloyd to an 8-4 recordand a district runner-up finish.He was the Kentucky 2A Dis-trict 6 coach of the year in 2011and 2012.

“Josh will immerse himselfinto the community and theschool and will be very suppor-tive of all the programs at theHigh School,” said New Rich-mond athletic director DougFoote, who led the coaching

NEW RICHMOND — HowNew Richmond senior wres-tler J.R. Forsee isn’t gettingsome looks fromthenext levelis quite confusing.

All the 285-pounder has ac-complished in his career isreaching the Division II statetournament three times andcoming home with both asixth- and seventh-place fin-ish.

“I haven’t been lookedat byany schools that I knowof,” hesaid. “If I have the chance tojoin the club (team) at what-ever college I choose, I will dothat just to continue wres-tling.”

While the trip to state his

junior year may be the favor-ite moment of his career, thethree-time state advancerreally put an exclamationpoint on his career with hissixth-place finish at state thisseason.

After losing his openingmatch of the tournament 10-1to Connor Sharp of Beloit W.BranchHigh School –who fin-ished third at state last seasonand fourth in 2013 – Forseedidn’t get down on himself be-cause he was used to being inthat position.

“After losing my openingmatch, what went throughmymindwas this is the third timeI’ve been here because I’velost my opening match everyyear at state,” Forsee said.“I’mhere again. I need to fight

back even more and win toplace higher.”

The senior did just that ashe went on to win his nextthreematchesbefore losing inthe consolation semifinalssending him to the fifth-placematch where he lost to DustinKuhlwein of Jonathan AlderHigh School.

“It means a lot to me thatthe coacheshelpedmeenoughto get to that level,” Forseesaid about eclipsing his sev-enth-place finish from a yearago. “I think they helped me alot on my journey to being aman.”

Forsee saidheworkedhardthroughout his career, but at-tributesmost of his success tohis coaches while puttingblame on himself for not win-

ning a state title.“The coaches were a big

part of howhard Iworked,” hesaid. “I liked all my coaches,but I listened to some a littlebit more. I always workedhard, butmaybenot as hard asI should of to win state andmaybe that’s why I didn’t.”

With the hopes of continu-inghiscareerat thenext level,Forsee has reflected on his ca-reer as a Lion and knows hewill miss his sport dearly ifthis truly is the end.

“I know now that it’s done,I’ll miss it,” he said. “It was abig part of my life. It helpedme in school and in life. Allthree times (at state)were funand I’m glad I got to go withthree different groups of peo-ple. Itmade each trip unique.”

BATAVIA—TheUCClermontwomen’s basketball program isgetting closer.

For the second consecutiveyear, the Cougars advanced tothe U.S. Collegiate Athletic As-sociation tournament in Union-town, Penn., on the campus ofPenn State-Fayette.

Coach Mike Matthews’squad came in at 18-16 with ashooting percentage of 42.8,which was first in the USCAA.

Playing without 6-foot-1 cen-ter Stacie Lee out of LakotaWest, who fell ill andwas hospi-talized, UC Clermont lost ahard-foughtgametotheeventu-al champion Albany College ofPharmacy.

Down31-13afteronehalf, theCougars pressed and closed the

gap, but lost 50-45. The absenceof Lee took its toll.

“Albany’s a pretty tall teamwith a 6-foot-2 and6-foot-1andacouple of 5-9 girls,” Matthewssaid. “We really missed her(Lee) in the first half as theystayed inside with the tall girlsandwecouldn’t get anoffensiverebound. In the second half, weheld them without a field goalthe last 15:39 and full courtpressed them.Wegot to just twopoints behind, but were forcedto foul and lost by five.”

In theopeneragainstAlbany,senior Marisa Stutz (Felicity-Franklin) had 28 points andeight rebounds, sophomoreTessJenike (Bethel-Tate)had17points and junior Ashley Keith(Clark Montessori) had 15.

The loss put UC Clermont ina game with 17-8 Maine-Ma-chias.TheCougarswon thecon-solationhandily, 80-49.TheCou-gars’ previous experienceagainst NAIA Division I and IIschools, NCAA Division III andother upper-tier programs pre-

vailed.“We play a

good scheduleand we’ve beensuccessful,”Matthews said.“It’s tough play-ing against afull-scholarshipschool. We felt

we could compete better on the(USCAA) Division II (non-scholarship) level. We felt thatusandAlbanywere the twobestteams. They seeded us to playeach other first giving the restof the field a chance to make itto the finals.”

In the Maine-Machias game,Marisa Stutz had a double-dou-ble of 22 points and11 reboundsandAshleyKeith had the triple-double of 16 points, 11 reboundsand 10 assists.

“She was complaining about

how poorly she was shooting,”Matthews said of Keith. “Shewas saying she didn’t have it,but she had a triple-double fornot having it.”

The performance of Stutzwasnotashock.Thosethathavefollowed the basketball careersof the Clermont County Stutzsistersknowtheymaybeunder-sized, but they often overa-chieve in results and in the un-measurable category of heartand soul.

“Nomatterwhatkindofscor-ing gameMarisa’s having, she’salways putting up numbers,”Matthews said. “I think for theyear she had 10 double-doublesand one triple-double. She canjumpand she just anticipates sowell.”

At just 5-foot-7, Stutz was

While Marisa’s careeris over, fans of the Cou-gars are hoping CaylaStutz comes back to play.Out this season with aknee injury, she returnedfor some open gyms, butsat out the year. Her re-turn could get UC Cler-mont back in the USCAAtournament for a third-straight year.

Next year, 5-foot-9 in-coming freshman AricaStutz of Felicity-Franklinis slated to play and partof the appeal was the pos-sibility of playing withher older sister. CaylaStutz, who started her ca-reer at Mount St. Joseph,wouldbe a senior in termsof eligibility next season.

“Arica is way ahead ofwhereMarisawascomingin,”Matthews said. “I wasat her last game (againstGeorgetown). She hadseven blocks. She does allof thehustle stuff. Shehaslong arms just like Cayla

andMarisa.”Marisa Stutzwas voted

first team USCAA Divi-sion IIAll-American,withKeith andStacie Leemak-ing second team. Sopho-more Alex Junker out ofMilford was named to theUSCAA Division II All-Academic Team.

Another area connec-tion with younger sistersthat play is Tess Jenike.Like her sisters, Brookeand Julia at Bethel-Tate,Tess can knock downshots.

“She can really shootand her defense has come

a long way,” Matthewssaid. “This year she putsomenicegames togetherconsistently. In the skillscompetition against all di-visions she won the freethrow and three-pointcontest.”

In the three-point con-test alone, Jenikemadeanincredible 53 out of 60 intwo rounds.

With the returningplayers and some new ad-ditions, Matthews figurestomake the trek fromBa-tavia to Uniontown againnext season.

“I know we will be,”

Matthews said. “We prob-ably have six to 10(recruits) looking prettyhard at us.”

Matthews is looking atplayers from Oak Hillsand Dixie Heights amongothers and has added apair right down the roadon Ohio 32.

Glen Este’s Katie Gas-kill and Jessie Brenes arejoining the Cougar fold.Both were double figurescorers for coach JeffClick’s Lady Trojans.

“She’s got that attitudecoming in; the winning at-titude,” Matthews said of

Gaskill. “I expect a lot outof her. Her teammate Jes-sieBrenes is a three-pointshooter.”

The sell Matthews hasis a good one. Scholarshipmoney is available at oth-er institutions, but the tu-ition is much higher. Heoffers the chance to playand graduate without thedebt others may haveeven with scholarshipmoney.

It goes back to basket-ball logic from the days ofJohn Wooden, one of themorevaluable shots in thegame is the “bank.”

search that had morethan 70 applicants. “I’mvery excited to get towork with Josh as ateacher and a coach.Josh will bring great ex-citement and passion tothe program and willcontinue the great tradi-tion of winning footballat New Richmond HighSchool.”

Stratton’s coachingexperience also includestwo years at Holmes,where he coached run-ning backs in 2009 andquarterbacks in 2010;two years at Herculane-um High School in Mis-souri where he was theoffensivecoordinator, aswell as the school’s var-sity basketball coach in2007 and 2008; threeyears at Grant CountyHigh School where hewas quarterback coach,head freshman footballcoach and the freshmanbasketball coach. Hewas also freshman boysbasketball coach at Ga-hanna Lincoln High

School in Columbusfrom 2000-2002.

Lion football fansmay see a few morepassing plays next sea-son, but Stratton doesn’tplan to do a major over-haul on offense.

“I want to build ontheir prior success, butyou can’t be one dimen-sional anymore in foot-ball,” said Stratton, whoteaches social studies.“We will be very bal-anced and there may begames where we willpass more and othergameswherewewill runthe ball exclusively.”

Stratton’s defensivephilosophy is to “causedestruction” which re-sulted in his Lloyd de-fense recording19 inter-ceptions last season.

“My philosophy is toget asmuch speed on thefield as possible and get11 hats on the ball,” saidStratton. “We will be ag-gressive and cause de-struction. On each andevery snap the goal ofthe defense will be totake the ball away fromthe offense.”

A publication of

March is “DevelopmentalDisabilities AwarenessMonth.” Each year, our agencyplans lots of events to recog-nize the accomplishments ofthose with developmental dis-abilities. We are so fortunatecommunity citizens often taketime to recognize our individ-uals as well.

Our county government hassupported people with devel-opmental disabilities for years.The Clermont County commis-sioners Feb. 27 presented anawareness month proclama-tion and honored our recordsmanagement mobile workcrew for their outstandingwork.

A little history: In 2004,Barbara Brown from ClermontCounty Records Managementcontacted the Clermont CountyBoard of Developmental Dis-

abilities be-cause her de-partment wasgiven the taskof preparingboxes of coun-ty documentsto be scannedonto DVDs forbetter recordsretention. Herhope was

CCDD could supply a mobilework crew to prepare each filefor scanning, by removingstaples and paperclips, smoothwrinkles and keep the files inorder. The CCDDWork Ser-vices Department jumped atthe chance to put together acrew and nine years later, theyare still going strong under theleadership of Barb and herstaff.

Barb’s department has

made Developmental Dis-abilities Awareness Monthspecial for the mobile workcrew in many ways. For 2013,Barb asked the commissionersto thank the crew for theiryears of service. She contactedGovernor Kasich, who wasunable to attend, but he senthis congratulations.

Commissioner Ed Hum-phrey presented the DDAwareness Month Proclama-tion and invited Barb to thepodium to talk about the workcrew’s nine years of success.After introductions, Barb hon-ored each member with kindwords and a plaque to com-memorate their hard work.Then it was back to the recordsoffice for a pizza party.

This was the official kickoffto a month full of events. Ourannual “Dancing with the

Stars” Extravaganza fundrais-er for respite care was March2. Individuals across the statemet with legislators in Colum-bus March 5 during the DDAwareness and Advocacy Day.Our ownWildey Comets playeda great game of basketballagainst Sheriff Tim Roden-berg’s All Stars March 8. TheComets will play again March26 in a fun game against ourstaff. AndMarch 25, we’ll holdour internal dancing eventcalled “Dancing with OurStars” that features some ofthe best talent our Adult Ser-vices Department has to offer.

Have you seen our bill-boards throughout the county?This awareness campaign willrun throughout March in con-junction with Hamilton, Butler,andWarren county DD pro-grams. Clermont’s billboards

feature a picture of LindseyWright who works at the Holi-day Inn & Suites Eastgate.

This brings to light the factthat there was a time whenpeople with disabilities wereoverlooked in society or treat-ed unfairly. Not today andcertainly, never in ClermontCounty. Citizens who havedevelopmental disabilitiesalways have been a part of ourcommunity. They continue tobe and are living meaningfullives, enjoying what life has tooffer. Thank you for support-ing people with developmentaldisabilities … because of yoursupport, I am proud to callClermont County my home.

County Board of DevelopmentalDisabilities.

A fewmonths have passedsince you made those NewYear’s resolutions for a betteryou in 2013. With the stressesof everyday life, it is easy tolose focus of your goals. March

is a greatmonth to re-gain that fo-cus, becauseMarch is Na-tional Nutri-tion Month.This year thetheme is “EatRight, YourWay, EveryDay.” Remem-ber life is amarathon not a

sprint. So focus on the bigpicture of achieving overallgood health, instead of focus-ing on short-term weight loss.

To help you regain focushere are some tips:

» Be realistic. You are morelikely to succeed if you startwith one or two specific, smallchanges at a time.

» Personalize. Go towww.ChooseMyPlate.gov for aplan customized for you andyour family. This will also helpyou learn correct portion sizes.

» Plan. Whether you’re eat-ing out, at home or packingyour lunch remember that itsbest to have an overall plan ofyour daily diet. Plan for nutri-tious snacks to prevent be-tween-meal hunger and keepportable, healthy snacks inyour desk, backpack or car.

» Balance. Half your plateshould be filled with fruits andvegetables, about one fourthwith lean meat, poultry or fish,and one fourth with grains. Tobalance out your meal, add

fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurtor cheese.

» Focus. Pick one place tosit down and eat at home. Dis-tracted eating can lead to eat-ing more than you think. Also,try switching out your plates.Eat off a salad plate instead ofyour dinner plate.

» Stop. Quit before you feelfull. On the average, it takes 20minutes for the body to get themessage from the brain that itis being fed. This communica-tion triggers that “full” feelingyou get. So, fast eaters try toslow down and give your braina chance to get the word.

» Eat. Include plenty offiber from fruits, vegetables,beans and whole grains. Fibercan help you feel full longerand lower your risk for heartdisease and type 2 diabetes.

» Play. Exercise is not onlyimportant for your body butyour health; it helps controlbody weight, promotes self-esteem and reduces chronicdiseases. Pick activities youenjoy and do each for at least10 minutes at a time. Aim for atotal of 2 hours and 30 minutesor more each week of moder-ate activity such as fast walk-ing. Consult with a doctor ifyou are currently inactive.

March 6 questionState Rep. Ron Maag has proposed raising

Ohio’s interstate speed limit to 70 mph. Is this agood idea?Why orwhy not?

“The legislature should raise the limit if andonly if it assures law enforcement agencieshave the staffing and commitment to enforcethe lawstrictly (asArlingtonHeightshasdone).Otherwise, interstate speed limits are just abuffer around how fast illegal drivers are will-ing to speed–a ‘suggestion’ if youwill.Our free-ways are like Reed Hartman Highway: driverscruise at 50mphormore, but in years I haveyettoseeBlueAsh’sfinestpursueanyonefor illegalspeed on that road.”

D.P.

“Yes, absolutely! It is about time that Ohiomatches upwith all surrounding states.

“I’m sure there will be some remaining sec-tions of highway that will need to stay at lowerlimits,which is fine.However, thevastmajorityof our interstate highway system is more thancapable of handling higher speeds.

“In addition, automobile technology such assuspension and braking systems are far bettertoday than years ago when the 65 limit was es-tablished. Speed it up, Ohio!”

R.W.J.

“Neighboring states have 70 mph speed lim-its and I haven’t heard complaints or concernfrom law enforcement.

“I’ve traveled throughKentucky, Tennessee,Michigan, Missouri, Alabama, etc., without no-ticing any problems. Plus 70 seems to be the av-erage speed on I-275 during rush hour.”

R.V.

“I do favor raising the speed limit. Otherstates have done so without amajor increase intraffic accidents, and our cars are safer, betterengineered than they were 25 years ago whenthe limit in Ohio was higher.

“We aremore endangered by all the cars andtrucks passing the vehicles that are actually go-ing 65 mph. I would rather have a higher speedlimit that is enforced thana lowone that iswide-ly ignoredbybothdrivers and lawenforcementagencies.”

J.R.B.

“Is Rep. Ron Maag’s proposal to raise Ohio’sinterstate speed limit to 70 a good idea? Truth-fully, no one can predict with accuracy if thesimple addition of 5 mph to the speed limit willresult in a significant increase in accidents, in-juries, and fatalities.

“The difference in speed limits from state tostate demonstrates clearly the arbitrariness ofsuch laws, which have been imposed for a num-ber of reasons, including the conservation offuel.

“Back in 1757 in Boston, the speed limit wasdefined as ‘walking pace,’ and violators weregivena stiff fine.Therewasa time in theUnitedStates (from 1974 to 1987) when the nationalspeed limitwas55mph. (In1995, that legislationwas totally repealed).

“I remember being a little apprehensivewhen the limitwas raised to 65mph, but I’ve re-laxedsince then.However, Iamstill troubledby

the drivers on the interstatewho passme,whenI’m doing 65, at a clearly much higher rate ofspeed.

“It’s a tough law to enforce universally anduniformly, and to be honest I’d like to see it en-forced a little better (except in those placesknownas ‘speed traps.’)Bottom line is thatOhiowould not be the only state to have a speed limithigher than 65, and I don’t see a problemwith it.

“I’ll have to do some further study to find outwhatMaag’smotivationfor introducingthis leg-islation was.”

Bill B.

“Several studies have shown that high vehi-cle speed on highways, such as 70 mph, in-creases traffic accidents and deaths dramat-ically. It sort of is a no brainer, that speed kills.

“Studies have also shown that traveling atany speed over 60 mph vastly increases fuelconsumption,oftenat25percentormore.Giventheclimateofhighgasprices,numeroustextersand those using cell phones while they drive,plustheimportanceoftryingtoweantheUnitedStatesoffofforeignoil,raisingthespeedlimitto70mph is an awful idea.

“Timeconsumedbyahigherspeedofdrivinggives an earlier arrival time ofmerelyminutes.I would notwant to riskmy life or the life ofmyloved ones in such a dangerous environment,would you?

“Slowdown, get off your phone, stop texting,payattention,arrivealive,andsavemoney,too.”

J.B.

“OK,70outsideofcities isaboutright, onI-75trucks go that now, as do autos. Especially usehigherlimitsoninterstates in ‘cities’ liketheonenear GE that builds their coffers on speeders.State should designate limits in cities, not vil-lages and towns.”

Walter

“If State Rep.Maagwantsmotorists to drive70 or 75 mph he can just leave the speed limitwhere it is. If he wants speeds of 75 or 80 heshould raise the limit to 70.

“However,howraisingthespeed limitmakesOhiotheplacewherebusinesseswanttosettle isbeyondme.”

F.N.

“Amoot point. Anyone who has driven an in-terstate latelyknowsmost of the traffic alreadyexceeds 70 mph. There should be exceptionssuch as oversize loads, towed vehicles etc.These roadswere designed to handle this speedand they once did.”

LBD Welcome Center cus-tomers and staff “walkedaround the “world” March 4with World Walker Steve New-man.

Newman, a Bethel native,spent fiveweeks inChina in thefall, including two weeks trek-king200mileson the4,000-mileGreatWall of China. He sharedhis adventureswith cultural in-sights, visuals and videos.

Newman, who now lives inRipley, was escorted for sixmiles alongside thewall bymo-torcyclepoliceandhundredsoflocal citizens. For the remain-der of his trek there was onlyhimself, a translator and fourof China’s most famous moun-tain guides. One evening, thedescent into the valley belowtook eight hours of strugglingthrough high tiger grass, thenthrough vast scree (slopes ofloose rock), miles of wild for-est, then hours of boulder hop-ping on a whitewater river.

“It was the toughest hikingI’ve ever experienced; so toughthatoftentimes theWallwas lit-tle more than a narrow band ofrocks completely overgrownwith thorny trees and brushthat forced us to crawl on ourhands and knees,” he said.

Besides walking the GreatWall, Newman, who is listed inthe Guinness Book of Recordsfor his 1980s trek around theworld and who penned lettersalong his journey and laterwrote a book, “Worldwalk,”signed a 12-year endorsementwithChina’s largest shoeretail-er.He also lectured at the coun-try’s most prestigious univer-sity, Peking University. Hestressed that todayChina is not

the oppressed backward coun-try people thought it was 25years ago, and that it is experi-encing a technological and eco-nomic boom while sustainingits rich culture and traditions.

“Blue jeans and Conversegym shoes are hot items forChinese young people,” he toldthe Welcome Center group.

However, China, like othercountries, has impoverishedareas within its borders, espe-cially in themountains.When ahuge earthquake struck in anisolated area, Newman divert-ed from his schedule to offerassistance; he also delivereddesks and books to several

schools. He said he plans to re-turn to China next year andtrek from Tibet to Shanghai.

“It would be a journey ofmore than 3,000 miles,” New-man said. “I also believe itwould be the first trek acrossChina by an American.”

He said he loved his LBDWelcome Center visit, spon-sored by Clermont Senior Ser-vices, next to the ClermontFamily YMCA inWilliamsburgTownship. “Itwas theseniors inmy father and mother’s nurs-ing home in Bethel that shapeda lot of my character and curi-osity. They heavily influencedhow I look at the world and at

life. I have a lot of respect forour elders and for how muchthey have to teach us. I certain-ly look forward to seeing all ofthem (Welcome Center cus-tomers) again.”

Bethel residentEdHale saidhe enjoyed Newman’s visit andrememberswhenNewmanwason Bethel-Tate High School’scross country team during the1970s. “Iwould seehimrunningpast my house.”

“I thought Steve was verygood. I enjoyed hearing aboutall the countries he has visitedand listening to his stories,”Robert McKinney of Eastgatesaid.

Miami Township residentErma Kidd also enjoyed New-man’s program. Her favoritepart was watching the videosand seeing some of the exoticfoods he tasted, including friedscorpions and cock roaches.

“I don’t know about some ofthe things he ate while in Chi-na,” Kidd said. “I hope theytasted good.”

As a finale , Newman placeda globe in the center of theroom and invited seniors andstaff to walk around it withhim.

“Now you can say youwalked around the world withme,” he said.

I remember one St.Patrick’s Day in partic-ular. I was a first-graderat St. Margaret of Corto-na School in MadisonPlace. Sister Justinaasked me why I wasn’t

wearing agreen rib-bon in myhair.

“Be-cause I’mLebanese,”I repliedtimidly.

The realreason, Isuspect, isthat Mom

couldn’t afford to buygreen ribbon to makebows for us eight girls.But you know, after allthese many years, evenI’m a bit Irish on St. Pat-rick’s Day. The storygoes that in the fifthcentury, St. Patrick wentto Ireland, killed all thesnakes and converted thepeople.

What were they eat-ing? For starters, cress,leeks and cabbage, all of

which are ... green!

ChampThis has a puddle of

butter in the middle. Eatfrom outside to inside,dipping each bite intobutter.

2 pounds russet potatoes,peeled, chunked up andcooked

1⁄2cup whipping cream orhalf & half

1⁄2stick butter1 leek, sliced thin or 4 greenonions, sliced

Salt and pepper to taste

While potatoes arecooking, bring cream andbutter to simmer and stirin leeks. Remove fromheat, cover and let steepwhile potatoes cook.Mash potatoes, addenough creammixture tomake potatoes creamy.Make well in center, putdab of butter there tomelt and make puddle.

Moist and butterysoda bread

You can’t eat just oneslice. For readers who

wanted a sweeter tastingsoda bread. I use my foodprocessor, but you canuse a mixer or do it byhand. Check out my blogfor step-by-step photos.

2 cups all-purpose flour3⁄4teaspoon baking soda1⁄2teaspoon salt3 tablespoons sugar1 stick butter, softened1⁄2heaping cup dried cherries,raisins or your favoritedried fruit

1 cup regular sour creamMelted butter for brushingon top

Turbinado sugar forsprinkling on top(optional, but good)

Preheat oven to 375degrees. Place piece ofparchment on cookiesheet and spray parch-ment. Mix flour, soda,salt, sugar and butteruntil mixture is crumbly.Add cherries. Toss tocombine. This keeps thefruit suspended in thebread. Blend in sourcream. Form into mound-shaped circle about sixinches wide and two or so

inches tall. Place on cook-ie sheet and make a crossin the middle. (This is tolet the devils out, or is itto keep them from com-ing in?!) Brush with but-ter and sprinkle withsugar. Bake 40-50 min-utes until toothpick in-serted in center comesout clean. Check after 40minutes.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Turbinado sugar isgolden in color and crys-tals are large.

Terry Pettit’s famousfish fry cole slaw

During Lent, the fishfry at Immaculate Heartof Mary Church serves

over 1,000 people andthey come, in part, toenjoy the slaw that’sserved alongside the fish.This is for the readerwho loves that slaw andwants to make it at home.I talked to Terry Pettit,who shared this familyrecipe.

“The recipe was froma restaurant that my wifeand I owned in the early‘90s and was developedfor that purpose,” Terrytold me.

I haven’t had time totest paring it down, buthere’s a guideline. Startwith 1 bag shredded cab-bage (12-16 oz.), 1⁄2 cupcarrots, 1⁄4 cup red cab-bage and enough slawmix dressing to coat

nicely. For the dressing,I’d start with 2 cupsmayo, 2 tablespoons vine-gar, 1⁄4 cup sugar and ascant teaspoon of celeryseeds. I’d go to taste andadd more of whatever.I’m thinking I’d like morevinegar, but I haven’ttasted Terry’s slaw atIHM. I would stir inenough dressing to coatthe slaw nicely.

Here’s Tom’s big batchrecipe.

Slaw:Mix together and coat

with 1 gallon dressing

I read a study a whileback that said 95 percentof email ads sent fromunknown companieswere just trying to cheatyou.

After you read whathappened to one areaman, you may think thatstudy was right on themark.

TomNewhouse ofSycamore Townshipreceived an email shortlybefore Valentine’s Day.The ad was from a jewel-ry store and it offeredwhat appeared to be agreat deal.

“It was an advertise-ment, I opened it up andread it. It was gettingclose to Valentine’s and I

thought for$5.95they’regivingaway apiece ofjewelry. Ifigured I’dsend forthis andjust haveto pay that

shipping cost,” Ne-whouse said.

Newhouse ordered aheart-shaped necklaceand a few days later anice box from the compa-ny arrived. “When Iopened it up I saw it wasthe wrong thing, so Ididn’t even give it to mywife. I just put it in a

drawer,” he said.Instead of a heart-

shaped necklace, thecompany had sent him aman’s bracelet.

“I wasn’t thinking anymore about it and thenthere was, on our creditcard statement, a chargefor $98 from the compa-ny,” Newhouse said.

Newhouse immedi-ately emailed the compa-ny to complain. The com-pany replied that hecouldn’t get his moneyback because it was pastthe 14-day trial period,something of which Ne-whouse was totally un-aware. “I would not havebought it. I don’t buythings sight unseen for$98,” he said.

Under state law the admust state the terms andconditions clearly andconspicuously next to the

price. But the ad simplysaid the price of $5.95and, in small print, said“Terms and conditionsapply.”

Newhouse wrote backto the company explain-ing he didn’t see thoseterms and conditions andthe company refunded$49. But remember Ne-whouse failed to get thejewelry he had orderedfor his wife and didn’twant to pay $50 for theman’s bracelet he re-ceived. So, Newhousewrote more emails com-plaining about having topay anything for what hereceived.

“I told them I hadcontacted the Channel 12Troubleshooter and that Iwould be having an in-terview with them.They’ll probably seesomething on the news

about their company,” hesaid.

Sure enough, the com-pany responded that ithad reviewed the situa-tion again and decided torefund him the rest ofthe money.

The Better BusinessBureau says it has re-ceived 10 complaintsabout the company injust the three months itsbeen in business. Com-plaints allege bait-and-switch advertising andunauthorized charges –the same things thathappened to Newhouse.

The BBB reports thecompany responded tocomplaints by givingpartial or full refunds.When I called the compa-ny I was told there was amore complete disclo-sure of the terms andconditions on another

page as you place yourorder.

So my advice is becareful of offers fromunknown companies andcarefully check for theterms and conditions.Finally, always use acredit card, never a debitcard, when ordering onthe Internet. Then, ifthere’s a problem, youcan dispute the chargewith the credit card com-pany, something you cannot do very easily withyour bank once the mon-ey has been taken fromyour account.

Girl Scouts of WesternOhio join others aroundthe nation to make theworld a better place andcelebrateGirlScoutWeekMarch 10 throughMarch16. The week hon-ors the 101st anniversaryof Girl Scouting in theUnited States, which fallson March 12, the day in

1912 that 18 girls met fortheir first meeting withGirl Scout founder, Juli-ette Gordon Low.

Helping girls discovertheir strengths throughimpacting their commu-nities was what Low in-stilled from the earliestdays. In 1912, many girls’paths in life were limited

by their social standing.Low encouraged girls topreparenot only for tradi-tional homemaking, butalso for future roles asprofessionalwomeninthearts, sciences and busi-ness and for active citi-zenship. Today, GirlScouts travel the world,learn 21st-century skills

and prepare for a high-tech future.

The Girl Scout experi-ence gives young womenthe confidence and thetools to lead, so they willmake a difference in theworld. Scouting helpsgirls discover who theycan be and what they cando.

Howdy folks,Last week wemade

another batch of home-made noodles. They areso good. We like to keepdoing these things. Afterwe make them and theyare dried, we put them inplastic freezer bags andfreeze them until wewant to use them. For thenoon meal last Tuesday,Ruth Ann fixed stuffedpeppers we had in thefreezer, and by golly theywere good. You canfreeze the peppers dur-ing the summer whenyou have plenty then fixthe stuffing during thewinter.

The 50s and over cou-ples from the BethelUnited Methodist Churchmet at the Rees’ home at6 p.m. last Wednesdayfor their monthly meet-ing. Everyone enjoyedthe great meal and thevisiting.

We were at the FirstMethodist Church inMilford, Saturday, March9, for a craft show. Wesold bird houses, jewelryboxes, bird feeders, andsomething new, blue birdboxes with a flowerplanter on the lid. Wealso made a box for folksthat like to use the grill.There is a place for a rollof paper towels, a box forthe spices, then a box tolay the grilling tools un-der the paper towels.This is a new project.

Last Saturday morn-ing, the men of the Be-thel United MethodistChurch met at Frisch’sfor breakfast. They havethis meeting once amonth. This is always avery enjoyable time.

Last Saturday, March2, there was a gatheringat Moscow for the one-year anniversary of thetornado which torethrough this town, andthrough much of TateTownship. There was agood crowd. This was forthe folks that lived thereand went through thishorrible time. Ruth Annand I went down since wehad spent time repre-senting the Lions Club ofBethel, and Ohio andInternational. The LionsClubs had helped folks inTate Township and some

in BrownCounty.This issome-thing theBethelLionsClub andall LionsClubs areinvolved

with, helping in the timeof disasters. The BethelLions Club also helps theschool and the baseballand softball teams. Theseactivities are for thehometown children. Thisis important to give helpto the children of ourschools.

After we left Moscow,we went to Pauline andRalph’s for a birthdayparty for Curtis. He is 18years old already. Wheredoes the time go. He isour youngest grandchild.Now we have two great-grandchildren. Thankyou Lord for our family.

Last Monday, RuthAnn and I went to theSenior Citizens WelcomeCenter so I could speakto the seniors there.There were about 50people. I always talk tothem about things thathappened in their earlylives. This brings backmemories. This time wetalked about Easter and

the clothes and candythey got. I did this at10:30 A.M. Then we atelunch with the staff. Therequest came from SteveNewman for Ruth Ann tomake pie so she madethree kinds. In the after-noon Steve gave a pro-gram about his trip toChina. He had a slideprogram and told aboutsome of the food he ate,which was really differ-ent from ours. Stevewalked some of the GreatWall. He said the Chinafolks really like to getitems made in the U.S.A.He has a web site. It isStevenNewman.com.

Now about Chessy.She is something. Shelikes to set on my lap,then gets on Ruth Ann’slap occasionally. When

she is setting on my lapand Ruth Ann goes to thebathroom, she just staysput. But when Ruth Annturns and goes towardthe kitchen, Chessyjumps down and beatsRuth Ann into the kitch-en, hoping for a snack.Wemoved the bird feed-ers up higher so she can’tget to the birds. She wasable to jump high enoughbefore we moved them.to get a bird. We don’tlike her catching thebirds. Ruth Ann saidSaturday when I went toFrisch’s for the break-fast, Chessy sat at thekitchen door andwatched me leave, thenshe would go outside,

then come back in, thenback outside until I camehome and she got on mylap and laid down.

The Clermont P.E.R.I.chapter will meet at theBatavia Township Com-munity Center on CloughPike Wednesday, March20, at 11:30 a.m. Bring abag lunch. Desserts anddrinks will be provided.

Start your week bygoing to the house ofworship of your choiceand praise the GoodLord. God bless all. Morelater.
