The township was hit withfour inches of rain in threehours, said Mike Mantel,township service director.

“Job very well done,”Fronk said at the township’sregular July 16 trustee meet-ing.

a resident who lives on Sage-brush Court. “There was fe-cal matter in the basement.”
The sewage lift station inhis backyard failed duringthe storm, causing problems,he said.
“When our operators re-sponded at the lift station,they found the lift stationwasunder water. The storm sew-ers had backed up and flood-ed the area,” said LyleBloom,director of utilities for theClermont County Water Re-sources Department. “Thelift station is only intended to

pump sanitary (sewage)from homes, it’s not de-signed to pump stormwa-ter.”
There is a 24-inchstormwaterpipe inChris-topher’s subdivision thatfunnels into a 42-inchpipeand then back into a 24-inch pipe, Mantel said.
“That could be the cul-prit,” he said. “We’re lim-ited by what we can do ...(but) we’re going to workasmuchaswecantomakesure this doesn’t happenagain.”
Christopher said theneighborhood faced simi-lar flooding problems in2001 and 2005, calling it“an ongoing problem.”
In 2001, the lift stationlost power, but shortly af-ter officials put in anemergency generator,Bloom said. The lift sta-tiondidn’t losepowerJuly
10, he said.“I’m asking the town-
ship to work with thecounty to fix these is-sues,” Christopher said.“There needs to be morethan talk, there needs tobe a plan.”
Trustee Karl Schultzsaid when officials werenotified of the situationthey took immediate ac-tion.
Mantel said the town-ship is responsible forstorm water systems, butthe county is responsiblefor sanitary sewer sys-tems.
“We don’t own all as-pects of it, but we’re thefront line,” Schultz said.“Our job is to help youmove through the myriadof bureaucracy.”
The county proposed astorm water district in2007, but it was never ap-proved, said Joe Braun,township law director.
“That would regulateall the problems you’retalking about,” he said.
“In 2007, public hearingswere held in Union andMiami townships (but)smaller communities op-posed (the storm waterdistrict).”
Similar storm waterdistricts, where residentsare taxed, are in place inHamilton and Butlercounties, Braun said.
“A storm water (dis-trict) would have its ownseparate funding sourceto address stormwater is-sues on private property,”Bloom said.
The county and town-ship handle issues in thepublic right of way, butcannot do anything on pri-vate property - a stormwater district could takeover some of those re-sponsibilities, he said.
“We desperately needyour help,” said MarkPfister, who lives onRustler Court.
TrusteeKenTracy saidthe board was willing toback residents in writingto proper county officials.
“The county is awareof the problem,” Braun
said. “We’ve been notify-ing as many people as wecan.”
Bloom said the waterresources department istaking steps to seal thesanitary sewer manholecovers to prevent stormwater from entering.
“In the future, we’regoing to evaluate the po-tential to eliminate the liftstation(in theTanglewoodsubdivision),whichwouldremove it from the areathat has experiencedflooding,” he said. “Byeliminating it, we wouldconnect that collectionsystem to an adjacent col-lection system, (but) wewant to make sure the ad-jacent collection systemwouldhaveenoughcapac-ity for theTanglewood liftstation.”
A meeting to discusspossible solutions washeld July 30. Representa-tives from the ClermontCounty Engineer’s Officeand Water Resource De-partment, along withtownship officials wereexpected to be present.

MIAMI TWP. — PoliceChief R. Steven Baileydelivered some “goodnews, bad news” at atrustee meeting lastmonth.
Good news: The po-lice department is noweligible to apply for atraffic-control grantworth about $51,000.
Bad news: The de-partment only becameeligible for the grant be-cause four traffic fatali-ties occurred in thetownship last year.
“Our objective oncewe get the grant is tomake sure that doesn’thappen again,” Baileysaid. “The grant fundsovertime for police offi-cers todo trafficpatrol.”
The High VisibilityEnforcement OvertimeGrant has not been ap-proved yet, he said.
There have been twofatal crashes in MiamiTownship this year, saidJimYoung, a sergeant inthe Miami Township po-lice department, at asafe communities meet-ing in July.
Young said the de-partment received thegrant in 2008 and 2009and it was helpful inmaking additional ar-rests.
The grant also pro-vides funds for fuel and
training, he said.TheOhioDepartment
of Public Safety issuesthe grant with moneyfrom the U.S. Depart-ment of Transportation,Bailey said.
“They want us to re-duce crashes overall,but specifically crashesrelated to alcohol andnot wearing a seat belt,speed and texting on thephone - distracted driv-ing,” he said.
The overtime hoursareusedeachmonth,butthere are specific timeperiods - such as holi-days, the Super Bowlandpromseason -wherethe hours are focused,Bailey said.
“If you look at thecrasheswehad, all of thefatalities (last year) in-volved speed, three offour involved alcoholand three of four in-volved people not wear-ing seat belts,” he said.
Ifapproved, thegrantwould takeeffectSept.1,Bailey said.

“We want to make sure weuse common sense, because if
you stomp out a small business,you’re stomping out some fam-ily’s hopes and dreams,”Kasichsaid.
Members of the area cham-bers of commerce also heardabout $1 billion the state givesback to businesses all acrossOhio in a cash rebate from theworkers compensation pro-gram. They applauded as Kas-ich called it “the best stimulusprogram” he ever heard of any-where. He said it resulted frombetter efficiency and a betterjob of investing by fund man-agers.
“Asa result,we sendabilliondollars back to folks here,” saidKasich. “I like to think it lendscredibility to governmentwhenyou make something more effi-cient, you can give somethingback.”
Lowering income tax, moreefficient regulation of govern-ment programs, cash rebateeconomic stimulus, businessgrowth and job growth are all
toolsforKasichtopromoteOhioall across the country. Kasichsaida ratingbyCEOsacross thecountry ranked Ohio 44th mostbusiness friendly of the 50states two years ago.
“That’s like a D-minus or anE, isn’t it,” asked Kasich. “I sayyou have to work really hard tomake Ohio that unattractive.”
Since then, Ohio has gonefrom44th to22ndmostbusiness
friendly;moving up13 places injust the last year. Faced with an$8-billion hole when he took of-fice, the Kasich administrationhas turned the largest budgetdeficit in the history of the stateinto a current $1.5-billion sur-plus. That gives Cyndy Wright,commercial banking officer,Park National Bank, renewedconfidence in the state’s com-mitment to small businesses
through tax cuts.“I think it is admirable work
by this administration to havemoved Ohio from 44th amongbusiness friendly ratings to22nd in just twoyears as report-ed by the survey conducted bythe “Chief Executive” maga-zine,” she said. “Between theinitiatives for jobs, tax cuts andeducation, I thinkthere isaposi-tive momentum and reasons tobe optimistic about Ohio’s fu-ture.”
Wright was not the only oneexpressingoptimism.StateSen-ator Joe Uecker works directlywith Governor Kasich and theother state legislators. Hesummedup themessageKasichdelivered.
“It’s all about jobs,” Ueckersaid. “Everything he does, ev-erything we work for togetherin Columbus is about makingjobs available for Ohio’s citi-zens. He is always pushing us,the legislators, always pushingthe businesses, to get togethertomake itwork.He is seeing thesuccesses.”
Kasich also highlightedplans for improved infrastruc-ture throughout the state; in-cluding Cincinnati roads andbridges. Those plans includefunds made available throughbonds that will be retired bytolls from the Ohio Turnpike.The crowd applauded severaltimes as he delivered optimismfor Ohio businesses, and Ohio-ans.
“We’re still here, we’re stillstrong, we’re hiring people,”said Mark Vanzant, directormanufacturingandengineeringat Milacron. “The kinds ofthings hewas saying are impor-tant to us. We want Ohio to bestrong because that makes usstrong, makes our employmentstable. The employees appreci-ate that he recognizeswe’re im-portant to the state.”

BoysClermont Northeastern
continues to build under sec-ond-year head coach BrandonHoeppner. The Rockets went11-26 last season, finishing lastin the Southern Buckeye Con-ference, but reaching doubledigits in wins marked a majorimprovement.
“It’s nice that we’re improv-ingeveryyear,”Hoeppner said.“We constantly work in prac-tices from 100 yards and in.That’s where you save themoststrokes. I’d like to think ourshort game, our putting, will bea strength for us.
“We hope to get out of thecellar in our conference andfinish better in our sectionaltournament.”
Hoeppner looks to a reason-ably experienced to crew tohelpmake it happen. Returningare seniorsKieferCunninghamandEvanTellup,who returns togolf after sitting out last sea-son. Also back are the coach’sdaughter - junior ShellbyHoeppner - and a pair of sopho-mores in Jared Ansteatt andChris Lindsley.
Hoeppner also has an eye onan additional two sophomoresand three freshmen who maycome out once tryouts beginAug. 1. CNE hosted its first-ever golf camp this summerand attracted 18 fifth- thougheighth-graders.
“We’re just trying to build aprogram we can sustain,”Hoeppner said. “We’reworkinghard at it.”
Goshen remains what headcoach Mark Reed called “a ma-jor work in progress” comingoff a 2012 season where theWarriors went 3-7 and finishedfifth in the SBC. Goshen gradu-ated three starters from thatsquad.
“Our overall approach needsto be adjusted,” Reed said.“We’reat apointwherewehaveguys who know how to play thegame, but now we need to beable to stay in itmentally. If youhit a bad shot, let it go and hitthe next one, don’t let it affectyou for the next three holes.”
Seniors Steven Short andLucky Singleton will be teamleaders. Also back is sopho-more Jordan Scott, who sawsome some varsity action as afreshman.
“We’re going to be relativelyyoung,” Reed said. “Hopefullywe’ll be improved from lastyear. Hopefully we’ll havesome good new players comeout for tryouts. For me as ateacher, I’m in the building try-ing to develop those positive re-lationships that lead kids intowanting to participate afterschool, onweekends, invest in ateam.
“We’re looking forward toplaying New Richmond.They’re the best team in ourleague hands, down. We mightnot be the best, but we we wantto play the best and see wherewe are and what we want to do
to get to where we want to be.”Milford finished fifth in the
newEasternCincinnati Confer-ence last season and – with noplayers graduating from thatteam - the Eagles look to moveup the league ladder. And thensome.
“Everyone is returning and Ithink we have a chance to bepretty good,” said head coachPhil Sheldon. “It’s pretty excit-ing.”
NCAA Division I prospectAustin Taylor – already a three-time all-league performer – re-turns to lead the team for hissenior season. Also back aresenior Tristan Lana and juniorsDaniel Stephan and Justin Ar-nold. Arnold’s younger brotherNathan – an incoming fresh-man – placed in the top 20 dur-ing this summer’s Junior Metand should be a factor on thevarsity squad.
“We’re still pretty young,which is cool,” Sheldon said.“It’s a lot of fun to see the kidsgrow during the season. I’vegot a junior high program withabout 40 kids in it, so there’sgood competition coming upand still a lot of room for im-provement.”
Loveland should be the teamto beat in the league. The Ea-gles will find out right from thechute as Milford opens the sea-son with the ECC 18-hole tour-nament Aug. 6 at Glenview,home of the sectional tourna-ment. Sheldon hopes his play-ers take note.
“I’d like to see us qualify outof the sectional as a team,” hesaid. “It will be tough, but Ithink we can get there.”
McNicholas returns somesignificant fire power from ateam that finished second toHamilton Badin in the GreaterCatholic League Central lastseason.
The GCL North and Centraldivisions merge this season, in-corporating the Dayton-areaCatholic schools with their Cin-cinnati counterparts. KetteringAlter,Middletown Fenwick andDayton Chaminade Julienne allfinished ahead of McNick onthe 2012 scorecard.
Second team all-GCL pickRyan Winkler graduated, butthe Rockets return first teamall-league selection MitchBloemer returning and secondteam choice Eric Boychan fortheir senior seasons.
Also back for head coachJustin Lecziki is junior NickNiehauswhowasasecond teamall-GCL performer as a sopho-more.
GirlsMilford went 17-1 last sea-
son, including a perfect 7-0mark in the inaugural season ofthe Eastern Cincinnati Confer-ence. The Eagles graduatedtheir No. 1 and No. 6 playersfrom that team, but have astrong core returning.
Senior Aly Severns, juniorMeganCreager and sophomoreAbby Swenson lead the return-ing contingent. Head coachSandyGarrison hopes to fill thenext two spots in the startinglineup with players moving upfrom a JV team that went 7-10last season.

MilfordThe Milford boys team fin-
ished sixth last season in thenewly formed Eastern Cincin-natiConference.And - in some-thing of an anomaly in crosscountry - the Eagles have got-ten simultaneously youngerand better.
“We’ve got about 24 runnersoutfor theteam,butwearestillvery young,” said head coachDaveAckerman.“I’dsayofourtop seven runners, two at mostwill be fromour juniorandsen-ior classes.”
A.J. Erdaty was the fastestfreshman in the district meet
last season; he returns as thetop runner for Milford hissophomore season. JuniorJohn Brown mans the secondslot.
“Those two will provide afairly strong top of the lineup,”Ackerman said. “I’ve got aboutseven kids to fill the next threespots.
Milford has nine freshmenout for the team for the secondyear in a row. The increasednumber of young runnershelped replenish a strugglingsquad.
“We had taken a dip the lastcouple years and it’s time toturn that around,” Ackermansaid. “We’re going to be waybetter results wise than wehave been, which is good, butthat’s not the biggest thing. It’sgettingkidsout therewhowantto improveandgetbetterwhenthey run.”

front of the pack as the Eagles try tocatchup toECCfavoritesKings andTur-pin.
On the girls side,Matt Jordan returnsforhissecondstintasheadcoach,havingpreviously held the post from 2004 to2009.
He inherits a team that finished fifthin the ECC and - like the boys - does nothave a senior at the top of the lineup.
Junior AnneE Dalziel was second inthe ECC meet as a sophomore and is atwo-timeregionalqualifierwithagoal ofreaching the state meet. Also back arejuniors Brooke Skladany, Lauren Bestand Rosealine Myers-Haag.
“From there it’s kind of wide open,”Jordan said. “We have quite a number ofgirls who are pretty close competing forthose last few slots.”
Jordan said the team has a reachablegoal of finishing top three in the ECC, aswell as continued improvement throughthe season.
The Eagles open the seasonAug.19 inthe Sycamore Invitational and host theMilford Invitational Aug. 24. Milfordalso hosts the ECC league meet Oct. 12.
“That will give us a very good indica-tion of our progress and how far we’veactually come,” Jordan said. “Runningthe same course at the beginning of theseasonandat thend,withhopefullysimi-
lar conditions, will tell a lot.”
McNicholasMcNicholas head coach Kyle Jepson
said the Rocket boys are in rebuildingmode, looking for a wave of young run-ners to mature quickly and help carrythe loadshoulderedbyaquintet ofveter-an performers.
Senior Connor Nelson will lead theteam, followedbyclassmatesMarkFlattand Grant Tore, along with junior Bren-danCusterandsophomoreandMattBar-bara.
New runners like sophomores BrianGauchandConnorScott,aswellasfresh-men Ian Bodner, Brendan Snyder andRyan Stephens show promise.
“This might be one of the best youngteams we’ve had in eight years,” Jepsonsaid. “For the boys, our goal is to simplyimprove. Last year was a tough year forus, graduating six of our seven varsityrunners, and we’ve been rebuildingthrough youth.
“Connor Nelson has a great shot toqualify to the regional meet, and theteamwill try toplace in the tophalfof theleague and district meets.”
Speaking of the league, both the boysand girls face more competition as theGreater Catholic League and GirlsGreater Catholic LeagueNorth andCen-tral divisions merge and now includeDayton-area schools Alter, ChaminadeJulienne, Fenwick and Carroll, in addi-tion to traditional rivals Badin, PurcellMarian and Roger Bacon.
On the girls side, McNick is the mul-tiple-time defending league champion.And while the Rockets’ GGCL divisionexpands to include Dayton-area powerKettering Alter, Jepson still looks for-ward to a strong year.
“We have an exciting season ahead ofus,” he said. “Our girls didn’t graduateanyone from last year’s team and we re-turn a strong squad.
“Last year was a bit of a disappoint-ment for us because we were prettygood, but failed to return to the regionalmeet. This year, we’ve added quite a bitof depth to an already strong team.”
LeadingthewaywillbeseniorCather-ine Adams, who won the GGCL last yearand placed fourth in the district meet.Senior Katie Cornell was league runner-up last season, while classmates Marga-ret Beck, Megan Schaefer, Claire Grif-fiths, Ashley Dundon and Raven Yorkadd depth and experience. Keep an eyeon returning junior Alana Osterday andnewcomers like junior Grace Wester-kamp and freshman Jona Ridgway tocontribute on the varsity level as well.
“Ourgoal for thegirls is towin league,qualifyfor theregionalmeetandplace inthe top eight at the regional meet,” Jep-son said.
McNick officially opens its seasonAug. 24 in the Milford Invitational. Un-officially the season beginswith anAug.17 time trial at Summit Country DaySchool.

“I feel the teamhas a strong base andwith some help from last year’s JVgroup,wewill be fine.This is a verynicegroup of girls and very smart. It hasbeen a pleasure to help these young la-dies achieve their goals as a solid golfteam.”
McNicholas finished third in theGirls Greater Cincinnati League in 2012
behind Chaminade Julienne and Ketter-ing Alter.
CoachWillyCorbett hasa touringbagfull of experienced players returning –no less than six seniors - to push theleague favorites again this season.
Seniors Riley Whitehouse, Ellie Tier-ney, SarahWilkinson,MarySchmidt andMaggie Danker (who carded a hole-in-one last season) were key cogs last sea-son. Classmate Sarah Hickman, though,could be the best of the lot even aftermissing last season battling cancer.
“She’s a pretty amazing kid,” Corbettsaid. “She was one of the top 10 DivisionII players in the city before she got sick.We’re really happy to have her back.”
Junior Michelle Rowekamp is anoth-er Rocket veteran. New players includejuniors Reagan Powers, sophomoreMa-
ria Ciampone and freshman AlexandraWells.
“We’ve got a good mix of players andthey’re a great group of girls,” Corbettsaid. “I really regard it something spe-cial that all the girls across the DivisionII teams in the city, there’s a good com-petitive spirit – they definitely want towin – but there’s a respect and camara-derie you don’t see in a lot of othersports.”
McNick opens he season Aug. 6 atSharon Woods against Cincinnati HillsChristian Academy and has plays itsfirst GGCL match the next day againstMiddletown Fenwick at Weatherwax,followed by the Division II InvitationalAug. 8 at Fairfield Greens.

He actually answeredhis own question about whywages of the working classhave been “shrinking eversince Reagan.” That’s be-cause Ronald Reagan was thelast president to embracethree basic principles: Small-er government. Lower taxes.Personal responsibility.(Sound familiar?)
Thank you for your mili-tary service, Tim. I also am apatriot who served in theArmy(Korea).But Idonotbe-long to theNRA, never joineda union, and do not belong to“a political party run by reli-gious extremists and theNRA.” That’s because I don’tbelong to any political partyand have no use for organizedreligion. Both are compro-mised by inherently flawedhuman beings.
If you and I sat down andtalked, Ibetwe’dfindwehavemore in common than not.This is true for many peoplewithdifferingpoliticalphilos-ophies. The fly in the oint-ment is not ideologies but pol-itics, the world’s second old-est profession - closely relat-ed to the first.
I’m in the book, Tim. Lookme up. We’ll have a cup of teatogether.

Should be betterMilford schools are great
but should be much better. Adeepdive into thereadingandmath proficiencies of thirdand fourth graders indicatesthey lag many surroundingdistricts. Reason? Bench-marks for K-4 are too low,which manifests into lowerACT/SAT scores down theroad.
I believe three things areholding Milford back: 1)benchmarks/goals are too low2) class sizes are too large 3)culture of high achievementis sorely needed. We shouldexpect more from our stu-dents, parents and of courseour schools. I have chosen torun for a BOE seat on Nov. 5.

Have you ever heard of orbeen to the CTRHHorse Showheld in August in Milford?CTRH stands for CincinnatiTherapeutic Riding and Horse-manship. It is a nonprofit or-ganization whose sole purposeis to provide recreational andtherapeutic horsemanshipactivities for children andadults with disabilities. Ridershave disabilities such as au-tism, cerebral palsy, Downsyndrome, developmentaldelay and many, many others.
It was my privilege to at-tend last year’s “RichardThomas Annual Horse Show”on a bright, August Saturday.My friend from high schoolhas been a volunteer at CTRHstables for several years. Inthat capacity she has assistedchildren with spine injuries,adults with behavioral anxi-eties and a multitude of otherswith various physical and cog-nitive disabilities. Many of the
riders sheassists cannotstand or walkindependently,yet, on a horseassisted bytrained in-structors andvolunteersthese peopleare given inde-pendence anda freedom
beyond the restrictions of theirwheelchairs and braces.
Last year I attended thishorse show not quite knowingwhat to expect. Would there beribbons? Would there be races?Would mint juleps be servedand ladies wearing flamboyanthats meet me at the gate as inthe manner of our own Ken-tucky Derbies? No such fan-fare was presented at thishorse show. Instead I saw somuch more and I was humbled.
CTRH riders both young
and old compete in a series ofshow classes held at severalscheduled intervals. OnlyCTRH riders participate. Theriders show what they’velearned in their CTRHAdap-tive Recreational Riding class-es and circle the track assistedby volunteers who lead thehorses and walk on either sideof the rider. Spectators areasked for complete silence inorder to keep the horses calmand minimize any undue noiseor distraction.
If you haven’t had the chal-lenge of living with a personwith “different abilities” youmay never know the chal-lenges and joys faced by theindividuals and their familieson a daily basis. Going to theRichard Thomas Annual HorseShow gave me that view for afew brief hours and I wasamazed. All day as I lookedaround at all of the peoplethere, I felt a sense of good-
ness. I felt like I was witness-ing the very best that we aspeople have to share with oth-ers. The look of accomplish-ment, pride, independence andjoy in the eyes of the horseriders and their family andfriends was gratifying.
I am not associated with theCincinnati Therapeutic Ridingand Horsemanship Associationin any manner other than beinga guest of a friend who volun-teers there. It was my honor toattend the horse show and Iwould like to invite you to dothe same. This year it will beheld on Saturday, Aug. 3. TheCTRH stables are located at1342 U.S. 50, Milford/MiamiTownship. Call 831-7050 forinformation.
Since the CTRHmemberscome from all over the Tristatearea - I invite all to attend. Youwon’t regret it.

Horse show: Humanity at its finest
Jan StetterWeisCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST
Concerts, re-enactments, aroad race - are these appropri-ate ways to observe the 150thanniversary of Morgan’s Raid?Should Ohio have spent$312,000 tax dollars for signsto create the Morgan HeritageTrail? Is it appropriate to cele-brate/commemorate an eventthat terrorized Ohioans, killedeight civilians and cost thestate nearly $1million? Thesequestions are being asked byOhioans.
The raid was certainly apart of Ohio’s Civil War expe-rience. But does it warrant allof this attention? Ohio wascritically important to theUnion war effort. There were360,000 men who served; 150-plus received the Medal ofHonor; there were 100 Ohiogenerals, among them Grant,Sherman and Sheridan - theUnion’s best. Our farms andfactories poured out an end-less flood of essential prod-ucts. Ohioans Edwin Stanton(Secretary of War) and Salmon
Chase (Secre-tary of Trea-sury) servedat importantposts in Abra-ham Lincoln’scabinet.
The presi-dent even saidhe would rath-er lose a majorbattle than
lose the governorship of Ohioin 1863. Shouldn’t we be cele-brating Ohio’s pivotal role insaving the Union rather thangetting caught up in the hoop-la of what was ultimately afailure?
I wondered how Georgiawas going to portray Sher-man’s March to the Sea.Though similar superficially,the “raids” differed greatly inscope, purpose and effect.Sherman’s March was a sanc-tioned, 60,000-man, 300-mile-long, 60-mile-wide operationdesigned to damage the Con-federacy’s war-making ability
and destroy its will to fight. Itaccomplished its objective bycausing $100,000,000 in dam-age ($1.4 billion in 2010 dol-lars). By making Georgiahowl, Sherman shortened thewar.
Georgia Historical SocietyCEO Todd Groce told me thestate will be installing twomarkers - one at each end -that will put the March intoperspective by telling readersthe March’s purpose was toshorten the war and civilianproperty damage was unin-tentional.
He said this was part of alarger effort to introduce amodern scholarship to a topiclong obscured by the myths ofthe Lost Cause. One of thosecherished myths was thatGeorgia seceded from theUnion because of State’sRights. By quoting the actualwords of the state’s SecessionDeclaration on a new marker,Georgians now know the rea-son was to preserve slavery.
Other unknown stories such aswomen’s food riots, GeorgiaUnionists and captured col-ored troops being re-enslavedare told on new markers.
Georgia is wedding thisnew perspective with newtechnology. All of the state’snearly1,000 road markers arebeing loaded onto a searchabledigital database (wwww.geor-giahistory.com), complete withmapping that will allow trav-elers to personalize their tripitinerary. It also may be ac-cessed by a new smart phoneapp.
Dr. Groce said he hopestheir efforts will show Geor-gians that the war was foughtto preserve the Union anddestroy slavery and open apublic discussion about “vex-ing questions” such as “state’srights, power and race” thatstill “face us in our quest toform a more perfect union.”

Is it right to ‘commemorate’ Morgan’s Raid?
Gary KneppCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST
July 24 questionAfter the George Zimmerman
acquittal in Florida, AttorneyGeneral Eric Holder has said hisdepartment will review so-called“stand-your-ground” laws thatallowapersonwhobelieves theyare in danger to use deadly forcein self-defense. Do you support“stand-your-ground” laws? Whyor why not?
“People, people, dowe reallywant to go here. A person wasfound innocent by a jury of hispeers.GeorgeZimmermanpro-tected himself and the commu-nity he was hired to protect. Ifthis right is gone, you will beguilty if an intruder breaks intoyour (home) and you harmthem, you defend yourself atthe parking lot when a muggertries to take your purse, wallet,car or child. Pres. John F. Ken-nedy stood his ground forAmerica during theCubanMis-sileCrisis.Don’t be led by a softignorant politician or othersthat are in office who arescared to stand up to the worldmuch less what is right. Wewould not beAmerica if the col-onists didn’t stand up to Eng-land, or France. God bless
America, let’skeep it, don’tgiveit away.”
C.J.H.
“Stand-your-ground lawsareverydangerous inasociety thatrefuses to enact common senserestrictions concerning gunsafety. This situation creates aperfect storm of untrained, in-experienced gun owners whobelieve they are entitled to usedeadly force against the mereperception of a threat. Add tothe mix the paranoid who feelthe need to always be armedand the foolish who equate be-ing armed to being lawenforce-ment and the result can only be
tragic. Until these laws aremore strictly defined, “StandyourGround” becomes “Run orGet a Bigger Gun.”
K.M.
“I do not support stand yourground laws and don’t believein using guns. If Zimmermanhadstayed inhis carornotbeenarmed Trayvon Martin wouldnot have gotten shot that night.
“Stopping profiling of non-whitecitizensbypoliceandvig-ilantes/neighborhood-watchclowns is the more importantmatter here. President Obamawas exactly right to make hisstatement the day before thepeaceful demonstrations lastFriday. A lot of prejudiced peo-ple are not capable of admittinghow right Obama was in doingthat last week. The bigots whokept asking to see Obama’sbirth certificatewere engagingin profiling, too.”
TRog
“Eric Holder should havebeen replaced some time ago.For him to continue to debasethe law(s) of the land and theConstitution and now measureAmerican’s as they defend
home, community and proper-ty, is typical of our current city/state/county/fed/media intru-sion into the daily lives of ‘com-mon men.’
“A jury was selected. Theywere legally bound to find thisman one way or the other ...that’s how it works. Everyonegohome, includingMr.Holder.”
K.P.
“I don’t support ‘stand-your-ground’ if itmeanssomeonehasto die. I’m not sure whetherOhio has this law, but I don’tthink so.
“I don’t believe in peoplehaving guns, so I could neversupport private citizens cruis-ing neighborhoods looking fortroublewith agun in their pock-et.”
E.E.C.
“I stopped listening to thenews about this case when Ilearned that the police depart-ment told George Zimmermanto go home and leave the polic-ing to them. Florida wants toreinvent law. Let them try, andlet us all avoid going there untilthey get it figured out.”

MILFORD —A home re-modelingcompany inMil-fordrecently receivedna-tional recognition fromthe National Associationof the Remodeling Indus-try (NARI).
Contractors Tim How-land and Jason Wise ofTheHowlandGroupApril12 received a Contractorof the Year award in theResidential Exterior$100,000 andOver catego-ry, during the 2013 NARIEvening of Excellence.They received the awardfor remodeling work on ahouseonEdwardsRoad inHyde Park.
“It’skindofa feather inyour cap,” Howland said.“It validates what we doon a regular basis.”
The Howland Grouphas been in Milford six oftheeightyears thecompa-ny has been in business,he said.
Wise said he and How-land have been partnersfor about four years.
Their company is oneof thousands of renovat-
ing companies across thecountry, Howland said.
He and Wise are proudof their work and werehappy just to receive theregional award thatplaced them in the run-ning for the nationalaward.
Their approach iswhatsets them apart from oth-er contractors, Wise said.Criteria for the award in-clude aesthetic aspects aswell as relationships builtwith homeowners andhow the contractor devel-ops the project to meethomeowners’ expecta-
tions.“Everyonewants toget
the jobdone,”hesaid. “Wewant to get the job donethe way the homeownerwants.”
He and Howland taketime to find out homeown-
ers’ expectations andwork to meet their bud-gets, he said. While theyhave enough employeesto get the work done, theyare intimately involved intheir projects, buildingrelationships with cus-tomers and making them-selves available sochanges need to be made,when necessary.
It was “very gratify-ing” and “cool” to be rec-ognized for doing what heloves to do, he said.
“Here are two guyswho constantly fight to dothe right thing every day,to not cut corners, to notrip people off ...and sus-tain an income for ourfamilies,” Howland said.“It (the award) kind ofmakes it all worth it in theend.”

I couldn’t resist buy-ing an extra pound ofdark cherries from thegrocery. Not to eat out ofhand or put into fruit
salads, butto makecherrybounce. It’san oldfashionedliqueurwith trueheirloomstatus.
I be-lieve theShakers
used to make somethinglike cherry bounce andused it as a medicinal forsore throats, etc. Therecipe is a hand-writtenone frommy friend AnnRudloff, a Kentuckyreader. Her mom, Mary,made it every year. Marysaid it would cure justabout anything. She’s inheaven now and is prob-ably still brewing upbatches! I’ve knownfriends to use it as anafter dinner cordial andto spoon the cherriesfrom the bottom of thebottle onto ice cream orcake.
Classic cherrybounce
Mary used to use sug-ar string candy, severalpieces, for the sugar. Ican’t always find that so Iuse regular sugar.
1pound dark cherriesstemmed but not pitted.
2 cups sugar1 bottle bourbon whiskey
Put cherries in glassjar. Pour sugar and whis-key over. Put lid on.Shake each day untilsugar dissolves. Here’sthe kicker, though. Waitabout 4-6 months beforedrinking. I keep mine inmy pie safe. Great as aholiday gift. Be sure andput on the label that thecherries have pits.
Tip from Rita’skitchen
I’m substituting rawhoney for the sugar inone of my batches. I’ll letyou know how it turnsout.

Can you help?Perpetual bread
“starter.” For Nanci P.who said she was watch-ing Paula Deen’s showand a person broughtwith her a starter thatshe had had for 42 years.“She added a bit to hercinnamon yeast rolls, butshe said you can add toany bread, muffin, etc.
How would I create myown starter and are theydifficult to feed, keeptemperature proper, andany other criteria?”
Nanci told me this isnot a sourdough starter,and I’m thinking it’ssomething like myfriendship bread starter,which can be kept foreons as long as it’s keptfed. It can also be frozen.Does anybody have astarter similar to whatNanci wants?

When you buy some-thing from a door-to-doorsalesman you have threedays in which to cancel.
However, one areawoman says she had ahard time trying to can-cel a purchase made byher mother and her ex-perience serves as alesson for us all.
Renee Gruseck, ofPrice Hill, says a door-to-door salesman sold hermother a new vacuumcleaner. The problem isshe didn’t need a newvacuum cleaner. “I camein and took a look at thesweeper and the contract
and got onthe phonewith com-pany,” shesaid.
Thedistributorof thevacuumcleanerhad soldthe unit
with lots of attachments.So she had her mothersign to cancel the dealand then called the com-pany to explain abouther mother’s mild cogni-tive impairment.
“I explained to them
that there was an impair-ment and that they’d bebest served discussing itwith me. My concernwas if she cancels it theywould try to resell thesweeper to her,” Gru-seck said.
Nevertheless, whenthe company returned topick up the vacuumcleaner and return hermother’s sweeper, hermother signed a newcontract to buy thevacuum cleaner again.
Gruseck said all shewants to do is return theentire vacuum cleanerand get back her moth-
er’s sweeper. But at thispoint, she was having ahard time dealing withthe company. “I had anappointment scheduledwith one of their employ-ees a week ago at 8:30 inthe evening and theydidn’t show up,” she said.
“There are othermethods of sweepingand cleaning your floorthat doesn’t require a$1,500 sweeper,” Gru-seck said. Actually, whenyou include the 25 per-cent interest rate in thethree-year paymentcontract she signed, thetotal cost of the sweeper
comes to more than$2,100.
“She could afford thesweeper, but it was amatter that she didn’tneed a sweeper. She hada sweeper. She has hercarpets professionallycleaned so there’s noneed for her to have thatsweeper,” Gruseck said.
Finally, the companyscheduled another pick-up and this time Grusecktook off from work soshe could be there. As aresult, she was able toreturn the unit and getback her mother’svacuum — along with
the money her motherhad already put down onthe unit.
Bottom line, remem-ber you have three daysto cancel a door-to-doorsale. And by all meanskeep an eye on olderrelatives who may notfully realize what they’regetting themselves intowith some of those con-tracts.

HowardAinHEY HOWARD!
Myhusband and Irelocated to this area 20years ago, and for18 anda half of those years, Ihaveworked for Cler-mont Senior Services. Ihad no idea when I beganthat working here wouldbe one of themost satis-fying and fulfilling expe-riences ofmy life.
I often hear peoplecomplain about their
jobs, butthere hasnever beena day that Idreadedgoing towork atCSS. Hav-ing workthat youlove istruly a gift.I am hon-
ored to have played apart in promoting theservices that CSS pro-vides to seniors. It hasbeen part ofmymissionin life to support thiscause.
But it seems there arenot enough hours in theday to do everything Iwant. I want to spend
more timewithmy fam-ily and friends. I want totravel more, and stayhomemore. I want tospend time inmy garden– lots of time. I want tovolunteer and give some-thing back to the commu-nity.
So, after careful con-sideration, I have decidedthat now is the time forme to retire, whilehealthy and active, andable to do what I want. Ithought about it for sev-eral months, because thisis not a decision youmake quickly. I had to besure, and I am. Aug. 2 ismy last day at work.
I am looking forwardto retirement, yet I willmiss somany things; likethe laughter and cam-araderie of co-workerswho have become dear
friends. I will miss thechallenge and stimulationof a demanding job. I willespeciallymiss workingwith CindyGramke,executive director, whohas been a close friend,adviser, mentor and en-courager for the entire18and a half years.
I will certainlymisstalking to seniors andhearing their stories. Oneof the first seniors I vis-ited was a frail, elderlylady.While wewere talk-ing, I noticed a black andwhite photo of a smilingyoungwoman dancingwith a handsome youngman. She said, “That’sme. I used to be a realperson.” I have neverforgotten her comment.Elderly peoplemust nev-er feel that they have novalue or purpose in life.
I want to thank theCommunity Press and itseditor, TheresaHerron,who has been a pleasureto workwith, andwhomI’ve come to think of as afriend. Her keen sense ofpropriety, as well as hersense of humor, has beenmost helpful.
Since I became a di-rector in1998, I havewritten nearly 400 col-umns.Manywere in-formational articlesabout diseases, fitness,events and other seniorissues. Some have beenpersonal. During thattime I shared the deathsofmy parents and both ofmy brothers, their ill-nesses andwarning sig-nals, and the process ofgrieving. Sometimes Ijust wrote a feel goodstory, like when I shared
the letter thatmy fatherwrote tomymother whilehe was on an airplaneheaded to England duringWorldWar II.
Over the years, I re-ceived a number of callsfrom people respondingto something I wrote.Your calls and commentshave encouraged andinspiredme. I cannotthank you enough. To allof the readers I sendmybest wishes. Thank youfor allowingme to shareinformation, as well asmy heart, with you. Ihave loved everyminute.God bless you all.

Howdy folks,It has been seven
weeks sincemy surgery.I am doing good. I can dosome of themowing andthat is good. I startedcardiac rehab last weekand the exercise is good.They have three youngladies that work thereand do an excellent jobwith each person.
After the exerciseclass lastWednesday, wewent to the BataviaTownship Park. Weweresupposed to have a picnicin one of the shelterhouses. Since it was sohot, we went into thebuilding in the air condi-tioning for a P.E.R.I.meeting.
Ruth Ann and I put thePomona Grange booth inat the fair Friday. Wewere to attend ameetinginWashington CourtHouse on Saturday forthe Lions Club ZoneChairmen, which we aregoing to do this year forour friend Clark VanSyock, who is the DistrictGovernor for District13-H.
The other day RuthAnn said tome comehere. She was looking outthe back screen door.There were two littlerabbits playing. Onewould jump then theother one would jump.This went on for severalminutes. We enjoyedwatching them.
It mademe think
about timeseveralyears ago.I was rab-bit huntingwith afriend whohad a littlebeagle dognamedSnoopy.Snoopy
jumped a rabbit. It wouldrun a while then it wouldstop watching the dog.Then the rabbit wouldrun somemore. Thiswent on for a while thenfinally the rabbit wentinto a groundhog hole.Snoopy stood there bark-ing some, then came backtome.My friend asked,“Could you have shot therabbit?” I said, “Yes, but Iwas enjoying watchingthem toomuch.”
Sunday wewent tochurch and a lady theregaveme some cards.They had attended a fairin Indiana where the fairwasmostly for the 4-Hkids and their projects.One of the cards was alegend about theMon-arch Butterflies. In theEastern North America,they have one of the larg-est migrations ofmanyspecies. These flights canlast for thousands ofmiles fromCanada toCentral Mexico. That isremarkable. We haveseenmore butterfliesthis year than usual.Have you stopped and
looked at a butterfly andall the different colors?The good Lord sure knewhow to color one of hiscreatures, don’t youthink?
The Clermont CountyFair will be selling thecakes this evening. RuthAnnmade two cakes. Onewas a blackberry jam,the other an apple. Wetook them in Tuesdaymorning. Thursday, sheplans tomake and take intwo pies. One will be alemonmeringue. Theother one she is not sureyet. Then they will beauctioned that evening.This year I will have novegetables in the fair, as Ihave not been able to takecare of the garden. Buthopefully next yearthings will be better.
The other evening wegot a call fromMrs.Kelch. They had boxes offabric that she had usedmaking tops for her niecewho had passed away.She had worked at theVeterans Home.Mrs.Kelch didn’t need thisfabric so she thoughtMonroe Grange could useit to make the pillowcasesfor the cancer patients atChildren’s Hospital forthe Conn-Kerr project.This will be used thiswinter on a sewing day.Thanks, Mary. She saidthat the ladies of theRambler Center in Rus-sellville who knit andcrochet are in need of
donations of yarn tomake hats and scarvesfor the homeless throughthe City GospelMission,also the victims of do-mestic violence here inClermont County. If youcan help themwith dona-tions of yarn, giveMary acall at 734-2501. Theseladies do somuch for theneedy. They have a craftshow there at the centerthe first Saturday ofNovember. Wewill bethere with our woodcrafts, the Good Lordwilling.
Now a correction fromlast week, Ruth Ann for-got to tell what kind ofvinegar to use on theBread and Butter Pick-les. Use regular applecider vinegar. The LimePickles uses the whitevinegar.
Start your week bygoing to the house ofworship of your choiceand praise the Good Lord.God bless all. More later.
