We started it because of Luke.” Luke is their son, Luke Greg- ory Smith. He has autism. The diagnosis came at age 3. He and the family did well for a while. Then, at the beginning of third- grade, at about8-years-old, a nervous tic revealed itself. By October he began hurting him- self. November brought his first seizures. In December Luke became violent for the first time. “He used to be so loving and sweet, like he is now,” said Smith, who wondered what to do. “It got real dark there for a while,” added his dad, Greg. Julia realized very quickly that doctors and the hospital did not have the resources needed for an autistic individ- ual. There are simply too many families in need. She teaches in Amelia schools and reached out to find others similar to them. They held the first meeting with seven families in March 2005. “It was so nice to be able to talk with somebody else who lived it,” she said. Soon they were meeting monthly. More and more fam- ilies came. It grew and grew and the Smiths were paying for everything out of their own pocket. Julia decided to have a Halloween party because autis- tic kids never get invited to one. “We always wanted to in- clude the family,” Greg said. “We say bring the family, ev- eryone is accepting.” Response was huge for the Halloween party. They had 75 families and more than 100 peo- ple in their humble tri-level home. They could not keep pay- ing for everything. Not wanting to turn people away or charge them, they formed the 501(c)(3) charity in February 2006. Fam- ilies with ASD held a little infor- mation session for the public in September. “We had over 75 tables and over 2,500 people came to this expo,” Smith said. “This is all volunteers. None of us are paid. We’re all parents.” That first expo was in the Anderson Hill United Method- ist Church 10 years ago. It moved to Live Oaks, outgrew that venue and moved to Shar- onville Convention Center, where they will hold their 10th anniversary expo in 2016. The event raises money for Fam- ilies with ASD. The group orga- nizes other annual events. They have autism friendly Easter so they can see the Easter Bunny without the anxiety of a melt- down in the mall. They have Bingo taco night, free Friday night blitz movies; normal so- cial activity in which autistic families cannot normally par- ticipate. “We plan for the worst and pray for the best,” Smith said. “You just never know. You have to think about what could hap- pen if you’re at the movie thea- ter.” A “meltdown” could happen. That can mean property dam- aged, physical injury, and could even require police and emer- gency aid assistance. Julia only had to make that call once.

would come in “gunsblazing.” She’s mostthankful they didn’t.

They had a center, akind of home, for theFamilies with ASD onMeijer Drive in Milfordfor about eight years.The center had autism in-formation, supplies, andwas simply a safe envi-ronment for autism fam-ilies to go, not worry, and

be themselves. It closed.There is no state or fed-eral funding, only dona-tions. With the centerclosed, they’ve had nohome base this past year.They could not pay rentand save money to ex-pand at the same time.

“All our kids aregrowing,” she said.“They are all becomingadults with autism.”

Many of the familieshave been in the groupfor 10 years. Their chil-dren are all 10 years old-er. Luke is 20; he’ll be 21in June 2016. They ageout of school at 22. Withno real autism programin Cincinnati at this time,there is no place for themto go. The center in Mil-ford was like a house, notlike a hospital. The groupwants a place with a fullkitchen, to teach usefullife skills, and a gym

where they won’t beturned away at the door.

“We would like to buya place that will go pastus,” Smith said. “Oncewe’re gone, it will con-tinue. We’d love to findan old church that has agym, and all that inthere.”

Luke has worked atChick-Fil-A and nowworks at City Barbecueand cleans the churchthey attend. He is a huge“Star Wars” fan andloves to create his owngreeting cards to send tofriends and family. He isthat sweet loving youngman his mom mentioned.They won’t quit servingthe young people, butthey need a place whereadults like Luke will feelwelcome. The goal is tomake them as indepen-dent as they can be.

“It has helped us totalk to other families,”Greg Smith said. “We’vebeen able to share tipswith others.”

The fundraiser walkSaturday, Dec. 5, atAmelia ElementarySchool will have a “StarWars” theme. They’llshow a “Star Wars”movie. “Star Wars”characters from the501st Ohio Garrison willbe on hand to entertain,and there will be a bakesale. Funds from thewalk will support ongo-ing activities and theLuke Gregory Centerfor autism.

“When this centerhappens,” Smith said,“and we network allthese adults together,they’re going to buildthis community offriendship. They’re go-ing to have each other’sback. We’re building abigger safety net for ev-erybody.”

Clermont County Com-missioners approved a2016 general fund operat-ing budget of $53.2 mil-lion, an increase over2015’s $50.9 million bud-get.

The general fund is thelargest discretionarysource of funds in thecounty, and finances 20 of21 elected offices in Cler-mont County. (The Engi-neer’s Office is fundedthrough state gasolinetaxes and driver licensefees.)

Sales tax, which pro-vides almost 50 percent ofgeneral fund revenue, hascontinued to increase, ac-cording to Sukie Scheetz,director of the Office ofManagement and Budget.In fact, the county ex-pects its 2016 revenues tofinally be above 2007,when operating revenuepeaked at $53.3 million,before the slide into re-cession began.

The county will in-

crease its reserves in2016, to protect against in-creasing volatility in rev-enue sources, Scheetzsaid.

“We typically hold 25percent of revenues in re-serve, or three months ofoperating expenses,” shesaid. She recommended,and commissioners ap-proved, changing that to33 percent, enough to cov-er four months of operat-ing expenses.

Commissioners out-lined some priorities forthe 2016 budget, which in-clude:

» restoration of twosheriff deputy positions;

» restoration of abuilding inspector posi-tion;

» a full year of fundingfor 50 additional bedsadded in 2015 at the coun-ty jail;

» salary increases forcounty employees aver-aging 2.85 percent.

Commissioners ex-

pressed confidence in the2016 budget.

“We’re pleased to seesales tax revenue con-tinue to gain,” said Com-mission President EdHumphreysaid. “As newretail opens in ClermontCounty, we hope to seethat trend continue.”

“Although we are in abetter position than wewere a few years ago, itmakes sense to bolsterour reserves,” Commis-sioner Bob Proud said.“Our residents expect usto be prudent in budget-ing, and this extra cush-ion will be good to havewhen the economy turnsdown again.”

“This budget allows usto continue to live withinour means, but still targetcertain priorities forClermont County,” Com-missioner David Uiblesaid. “We’re pleased to beable to restore certain po-sitions that have been va-cant for a while.”

Commissioners approve$53.2M general fund budget

rant to locate in UnionTownship. Laszlo's cer-tainly fits that descrip-tion,” McGraw said.

Laszlo’s co-owner Mon-ica Lippmeier grew up inUnion Township and livesthere now.

“We love the communi-ty,” Lippmeier said. “It’slike finally cominghome.”

» Lloyd Acres, vicechairman of the UnionTownship Board of Trust-ees, said he got to meet the“Freddy” of Freddy’s Fro-zen Custard & Steakbur-gers at the restaurantchain’s grand opening ofits first restaurant in Ohioat the corner of Ohio Pikeand Waterford Parkway.

World War II veteranFreddy Simon is the inspi-ration and namesake forFreddy’s Frozen Custard& Steakburgers, which agroup of businessmen —including two of his sons –opened in 2002.

“Freddy was therehimself, walking aroundshaking hands with all thecustomers. He’s 90 yearsold,” Acres said.

“He left the next day togo to Kansas City to openanother one, so God bless

him and I’m glad hepicked Union Township toopen his business in.”

Collecting money tohelp provide food andgifts for the community’sfamilies in need is the goalof the Bethel AmericanLegion Post No. 406 whenmembers hit the streetsDec. 5 asking for dona-tions.

“We’ve been doing thisfor over 60 years so we getquite a few repeat call-ers,” Post CommanderMark Nickell said. “We’llactually ask for donationsand we’ll stand out in thestreet and collect money.”

Post members are ex-pected to be located nearFrisch’s, 551 W. Plane St..Last year, Nickell said thePost raised about $13,000.

As many as 80 familieswill be helped by this ef-fort. Depending on howmuch money is raised, aportion is used to buy foodfor the families and therest used to buy gifts forthe children, he said.

The families receivepotatoes, ham, butter,milk, sugar, flour andsome canned goods col-lected by students at theBethel-Tate Local SchoolDistrict. High Schoolmembers help to buysome of the gifts and thelocal Dollar Store alsohelps. The legion used tobuy some of the groceriesfrom the Bethel IGA.Since that’s closed, the Fe-licity IGA is working withthe legion.

“They actually gave usa better price than wewere getting from the Be-thel IGA,” he said.

In addition to the mon-ey collected through thestreet campaign, Nickellsaid the legion also re-ceives donations. BelcanCorp. donated $1,000, hesaid. The Bethel Lodge do-nated $200 this year. Oneyear a school teacherdropped off a check for$100.

Some of the familieswho receive the food andgifts from the Legion arereferred by the schools.Others contact the legiondirectly. The Legion uses ascreening process to iden-tify families that qualifyfor the help.

Nickell expressed hisgratitude to the communi-ty for its support and tomembers of the legionpost, Auxiliary (Ladies)members and sons of theAmerican Legion mem-bers for their devotedcommitment. It is this de-dication, he said, thatearned the post the Aboveand Beyond Award fromthe Bethel Business Asso-ciation, the Village of Be-thel and both the OhioHouse of Representativesand the Ohio Senate.

A local agency onceagain hopes to makes theholidays brighter for areachildren.

Clermont County Chil-dren’s Protective Ser-vices is coordinating theCommunity Toy Chest inwhich gifts and otheritems are given to chil-dren who are in fosterhomes or helped by thedepartment in some way.

The donated items aredelivered to the caretak-er’s homes for the chil-dren to open on Christ-mas.

Sanna Gast, an admin-istrative supervisor forChildren’s Protective Ser-vices, said 350 childrenwere helped last year.

Gast said the donationof new toys is encouraged.

“This is the time ofyear we can make a mag-ical day,” she said.

Modern and currentare two adjectives beingused to describe the newPierce Township website,www.piercetownshi-p.org.

This is the same ad-dress as the old site, butthe new website offers anupgraded feel both aes-thetically and in content,Communications Coordi-nator Jenny Newcombsaid.

“Hopefully it will be-come a place where (resi-dents and businesses) cango for information andfind it,” she said.

Because the townshipis on a tight budget, theupgrade was done com-pletely in house. New-comb did the site map anddeveloped content. Fire-fighter Gary Strunkhelped by providing thewebsite template andwebsite development

support.He has asubscrip-tion toWordPressso was ableto providea free tem-plate. Healso pro-

vided his expertise as aweb designer, she said

When working to iden-tify important informa-tion to include in the newwebsite, Newcombturned to other townshipemployees who fieldphone calls and questionson a daily basis.

“I talked to the secre-taries to find out whatpeople called about,” shesaid. “We made this stuffeasy to find.”

One of the additions tothe website is a sectiontargeting new residentsand business owners thatidentifies where to go forwater and gas service,trash collection, the Bu-

reau of Motor Vehicles,and the library. This ideawas provided by LauraBassett, administrativeassistant to public worksand zoning inspector.

The new home pagefeatures a scroller withpictures linking to the po-lice department, the newresident/business infor-mation and the servicedepartment. New itemswill be added to the scroll-er including importantnews and upcoming spe-cial events.

“I think it looks verysharp too - friendly look-ing and welcoming,”Newcomb said.

Guests of the previouswebsite likely didn’t no-tice, but the old site wascomprised of three orfour separate sites. Thenew website brings themall together making up-dates and searches easier,she said. Newcomb en-courages residents andbusinesses to visit the

new site. If there’ssomething they wouldlike added, then sendthe suggestion to New-comb.

“If it’s appropriate,I’ll add it to the site,”she said. “We can al-ways add stuff.”

Arrests made in UDFrobbery

The Clermont CountyCommunication Centerreceived a 911call in refer-ence to an aggravated rob-bery Nov. 14 at the UDFstore, 1788 SR 125, BataviaTownship.

Units responded anddiscovered that a malesubject entered the storewearing a black hoodedsweatshirt partially cov-ering his face, and pusheda store clerk to the groundas the clerk was openingthe cash register. As an-other clerk approachedthe register, the male sub-ject displayed a handgun

and ordered them to stayback threatening themwith the gun. The male re-moved an undeterminedamount of money fromthe cash drawer and fledthe scene on foot. Neitherof the clerks were injuredand there were no custom-ers inside of the store atthe time of the robbery.

A perimeter was estab-lished by Sheriff's Officeroad patrol units and a K-9unit from the Amelia Po-lice Department wascalled to the scene. Whilethe K-9 unit was tracking,a citizen approached aroad patrol deputy and ad-vised him that the subjectthey were looking for wasinside a nearby residence.Units responded to theresidence in Eastgate Mo-bile Home Park at 1751 E.Ohio Pike, and made con-tact with a male who wasidentified as Richard W.Root III, 26. Root matchedthe physical descriptionprovided by witnesses onthe scene of the robbery,and Root advised that hehad been at United DairyFarmers to buy coffee.

Root was transportedto the Clermont CountySheriff's Office where hewas interviewed by inves-tigators and confessed tothe robbery. Investigators

conducted a search of theresidence where Root waslocated and recovered theblack hooded sweatshirtand the firearm that wasused in the robbery. Rootwas arrested and chargedwith one count of aggra-vated robbery, a felony ofthe first degree. Root ishomeless at this time.

While interviewingwitnesses in the vicinitywhere Root was located,investigators discoveredthat Ricky R. Kretzer, 30,had hidden the money thatRoot stole during the rob-bery in a wooded area be-hind the Eastgate MobileHome Park. When con-tacted, Kretzer, a PierceTownship resident, con-fessed to hiding the stolenmoney and advised themoney was intended to beused to buy heroin. Kretz-er pointed out the area inthe woods where he hidthe money and $38 was re-covered by Investigators.Kretzer was arrested andcharged with tamperingwith evidence, a felony ofthe third degree.

The Vietnam Veteransof America, ClermontCounty Chapter 649 isselling memorial bricks tobe displayed at the Viet-nam Veterans Memorialat Veterans MemorialPark in Union Township.

The park at the cornerof Clough Pike and GlenEste-Withamsville Roadis called “HelicopterPark” by some because ofa helicopter stationedthere and perched overthousands of memorialbricks – many of whichhave not been purchased.

DECEMBER 2, 2015 • COMMUNITY JOURNAL • 9ANEWS

An ounce of prevention is worth a poundof cure. Especially when it comes to leav-ening baked goods during this super busyholiday season.

That’s why I’m reminding you again tocheck your leavening agents. For bakingpowder, stir a teaspoon or so into 1/4 cupwarm water. It should fizz up right away. Ifnot, toss it.

To test leavening power in baking soda,stir a teaspoon or so into 1/4 cup of vinegaror lemon juice. It should also fizz up rightaway.

Stir a packet of yeast in very warm water witha pinch of sugar to feed it. If it’s good, it will bub-ble/foam after a few minutes. I store my yeast inthe freezer for longer shelf life.

Readers want to knowWhat’s that white coating or speckling on my

chocolate?The whitish layer/speckling is what is known as

“chocolate bloom.” There are two types: fat andsugar bloom.

Fat bloom is caused when chocolate is exposed

to high temperatures and then allowed toreset, or is not tempered properly. Thecocoa butter melts and separates, thenrises to the surface creating a whitish“bloom.”

Sugar/speckled bloomChocolate looks speckled rather than

whitish. Caused by an excess of moisturethat makes the sugar crystallize.

Store in cool place to avoid bloom.

Using bloomed chocolateYes, it’s safe. It may not have the “snap” and

silky-smooth texture of tempered chocolate, butthe flavor is still good.

Difference between bitter, bittersweet,semisweet, milk and white chocolate.

Savory, sweet bacon, coffee cake for brunch

Savory and sweet bacon for brunch

This is a good recipe for brunch since it’s yummy warm or roomtemperature. The cayenne gives it punch; the sugar lends a mellowsweetness. Use high quality, thick cut bacon for best results.

1 pound thick cut bacon

Mix:

1/4 cup brown sugar, packedScant 1/2 teaspoon ea. cayenne and black pepper

Preheat oven to 350. Lay bacon in single layer on sprayed sheet.Rub a bit less than half the sugar mixture on top. Bake in mid-

dle of oven about 15-20 minutes. Turn over and sprinkle with rest ofmixture. Bake until crisp, about 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Lois Boekley’s Crumb Coffee Cake

Brunch is a popular way to entertain during the holidays.Here’s a recipe from reader Lois Boekley, who treasures her family’sgenerational recipes. Lois said: “I got the recipe from my grand-mother many years ago, and tweaked it to make it my own. I haveshared this cake with many people over the years to welcome newneighbors, for potlucks, and for friends who are under the weath-er.” Lois’ tip on not over mixing the batter results in a more tender,nice textured, cake.

3 -1/3 cups all purpose flour2-1/4 cups sugar1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon1/2 teaspoon nutmegPinch salt18 tablespoons salted butter or margarine1 cup buttermilk1 teaspoon baking soda2 eggs

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch roundor two 8-inch square pans or one 13 X 9-inch pan.

Combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.Using a pastry blender cut in the butter or margarine. (This

can also be done in batches in a food processor.)Remove 2 cups of the mixture and set aside.Stir the baking soda into the buttermilk. Immediately add the

buttermilk mixture and the eggs to the remaining crumb mixture.Mix only until the mixture is evenly moistened; do not over mix.The batter will be lumpy.

Transfer the batter into the prepared pan(s). Sprinkle with thereserved crumb mixture.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean,about 25 to 30 minutes for the 8- or 9-inch cakes or 30 to 35 min-utes for the 13 X 9-inch cake. Cool on a wire rack.

Note: This cake is best served warm. Reheat individual por-tions in the microwave oven.

As a concerned Christian, Iwas saddened by the tragicdeath of unarmed black youth,Timothy Thomas in 2001 by awhite Cincinnati police officer(who was acquitted of chargesof negligent homicide).

I was also disturbed bysubsequent rioting that caused$3.5 million in damages toinnocent property owners, andanother $2 million in damagesto city property (i.e. the tax-payers as innocent victims).

I welcomed the Neighbor toNeighbor (N2N) groupsthroughout the city formedwith an eye to peaceful racialreconciliation and attended anumber of the 2001 and 2002Milford N2N meetings. What Iwitnessed at these meetingsquickly caused me to quit:white-bashing by some blacksin attendance and white guiltby some whites. To me, focus-ing the discussions on “whiteprivilege” and “white racism”did not seem healthy or help-ful.

The reader might recall theWashington, D.C., Beltwaysniper killings in October 2002,where two African Americanmen shot and killed 10 peoplewhile wounding another three.Even though these criminalswere caught in the act, andwere eventually tried and con-

victed, some ofthe attendeesat the finalMilford N2Nmeeting I at-tended ex-pressed out-rage that blackmen had beencharged,claiming that“only whitemen commit

serial murder.”These N2N members saw

the arrest of Lee Boyd Malvoand John Allen Williams as acase of “racial profiling.”

Many Americans are con-cerned that the Obama Ad-ministration is planning toimport tens of thousands ofSyrian “refugees” into theUnited States despite the Di-rector of the FBI admittingthat it is “impossible” to vetthese people. An estimated 97percent of the “refugees” areMuslim, while only 3 percentare Christian or other faiths. Inthe light of thousands of terror-ist incidents worldwide com-mitted by Muslims since 2001,is it sensible for Americans toprofile incoming Muslimswhen we don’t know who theyare?

President Obama claimsthat to deny Syrian Muslims

entry into the United Stateswould be a “religious test” anda “betrayal of American val-ues.” Interestingly, Beltwaysniper Williams in 1987 joinedthe Nation of Islam andchanged his name to John Al-len Muhammad. Besides kill-ing 10 in the Washington, D.C.,area, Muhammad was respon-sible for the murder of 14 oth-ers.

Some Milford N2N mem-bers are still busy inferringdiscrimination in hiring by theCity of Milford and by theMilford Exempted VillageSchool District.

“We are truly concernedabout all the many racial is-sues,” said Charlene Hinners.What issues, I ask.

Apparently Hinners agreeswith President Obama’s chargelast summer that “racism is inAmerica’s DNA,” and SupremeCourt Justice Anthony Kenne-dy’s claim in the 2015 FairHousing decision that evenneutral, “colorblind” actionscan easily produce unequal,racist results.

Nonsense, unfair to Amer-ica and Americans. I call onthe city and school district tohire the most qualified candi-dates, regardless of race.

Nov. 25 questionWould you feel safe traveling

to Europe in light of the Paris at-tacks? What would it take to makeyou feel safe there?

“Had this question beenasked even two years ago my an-swer would have been a simple‘sure.’ However, in light of theever-increasing audacity of rad-ical Islamist groups (yes Oba-ma, you should use that label), Iwould be extremely uncomfort-able traveling in Europe withthat all too identifiable dark bluepassport. It is a shame that somany innocents have beenkilled in such violent manners.It is a shame that it takes eventswith the magnitude of 9/11 orParis or London trains or US em-bassies or hotels in Mali to wake

more of the world up to the ever-increasing threat radical Islam-ists insist is good religion. It is ashame that we can’t all justlearn to get along with each oth-

er. It will be a real shame if weend up next November with an-other weak sympathizer livingat 1600 Pennsylvania. Let ushope an pray for real leadershipto guide us through and beyondthe terrorism quagmire.”

M.J.F.

“I would not feel safe travel-ing to Europe or for that matterany other foreign country ex-cept Canada. I have felt this waysince 9/11 and these terrorist at-tacks such as Paris reconfirmmy fears. Europe is being overrun with refugees from the Mid-dle East. Odd how so many aretrying to get out of these Muslimcountries; yet they are not head-ed to Dubai or Qatar. Go Fig-ure!”

Voters talk about whatbrought them to the polls Nov.3 - and what almost drovethem away:

State issues 2 and 3“Issue 2 is an absolute no

for me. It’s a no-brainer. Nomatter how I felt about 3, Iwas not going to vote for 2. Ijust feel it was completely un-necessary. It was thrown to-gether… I voted yes on issuethree. I don’t love the ballotlanguage. I think it could havebeen better, but it was a yesfor me, no doubt. Especiallyjust medically. I know peoplethat are going to benefit somuch from it. And they feellike criminals, and theyshouldn’t. Nobody should

have to feel that way just tofeel better.”

Jennifer Hampton, Mariemont“I did vote for issue three

mainly because I wantedmedical marijuana to be avail-able. I don’t use marijuana, Ihave never used marijuana,but I want it regulated. I don’twant people selling it on thestreets willy-nilly. I want it tobe done legally. I am ambiva-lent on issue 2 even though Idid vote against issue 2. I doknow a few of the parties in-volved, they seem to be prettystraightforward people.”

Deborah Loflin, Mariemont“I don’t care about mari-

juana being legalized, I thinkthat that’s fine, but it shouldn’tbe done the way that they’re

trying to do it. It seems likepeople, they’re confusedabout the issues, and I thinkit’s probably meant to be con-fusing. I don’t know what theintent is, but it sure seemsthat way… It’s not the factthat we’re legalizing marijua-na, it’s all the business side,and the legislature writteninto it the way they’ve done it,to protect the 10 people. Andthen they say that it’s not go-ing to affect other people ifthey want to get into it, but Idon’t think that if they’re go-ing to make it legal, thatthey’re going to make it illegalfor people to sell it, like if peo-ple want to open up a shop.”

The MVCA players ar-ranged a pregame movie/dinner event for their rival

from Hillcrest to see themovie in hopes of makingtheir upcoming game onethat these players wouldnever forget. Burgers andfries at Red Robin alsoprovided one-on-one inter-action and a chance for offthe field friendship.
