The Bethel-Tate LocalSchools Board of Education willat its Wednesday, March 25,meeting consider $1 millionworth of budget cuts that couldbe used to head off an anticipat-ed deficit in that amount.
District Superintendent Me-lissa Kircher said she and Trea-surer Julie Kamphaus will pre-sent the possible cuts at themeeting at Bethel-Tate MiddleSchool, 649 W. Plane St. in Be-thel.
A work session will begin at 6p.m. and the regular meeting at 7p.m.
The Bethel-Tate school boarddirected Kircher and Kamphausto research cuts after a budgetreview predicted that the dis-trict will be $1million in the holeby the end of June 2017.
The board of education alsohas been discussing the possibil-ity of pursuing a levy, but has notcommitted to that route – muchless chosen the kind or size oflevy they could support.
Options include an operatinglevy, an income-tax levy, a per-manent-improvement levy andan emergency levy.
“This is still being discussed,”Vern Bastin, president of the Be-thel-Tate school board, said.
“But, if we do go to the com-
munity and askfor additionalfunding, we wantto make sure thatwe have theirsupport and thatthey understandthat we havedone everything
that we can do before coming tothem.”
Bastin said the Bethel-Tateschool district has not passed anoperating levy since 1989.
“That was prior to the con-struction of the high school,”Bastin said.
“The district has effectivelydoubled its square footage, buthas been operating on a budget
that only took into account halfof that.
“The state funding formula-tions are always changing andunfortunately not in a good way,”Bastin said.
“Looking at our five-yearforecast, we must decrease ourbudget by $1 million.”
What jobs and services arelikely on the chopping block?
“We have instructed the ad-ministration to look at and for-mulate a plan that would allow usto provide the most amount ofservices to our students, as wellas save the district the $1millionthat we are short,” Bastin said.
“Bethel-Tate does not have aspending problem, we have a
revenue problem.“We are among one of the low-
est cost per-pupil and one of thehighest-rated districts in thestate,” Bastin said.
“That tells me that we haveincredible staff, from our custo-dians and food service to our busdrivers, teachers and admini-stration.
“It is very unfortunate thatwe have to do this, but our goal isto make the impact on our stu-dents as painless as possible,”Bastin said.

Hoping to help fill aneed for her family,Brandy Ward turned
to a website that in recentmonths has become all toofamiliar – Go Fund Me.
The request - $10,000 to geta handicap accessorized vanfor her medically fragilebrother Brandon Werring andher parents Lisa and RussellWerring. You can find thepage at gofundme.com/vanforbrandon
Living in rural JacksonTownship, Clermont County,the Werrings are in God’scountry. Open fields as far asthe eyes can see. Along theway, the landscape is dottedwith homes, barns, pasturesand silos. There are no side-walks leading to a conve-nience store much less a doc-
tor’s office. Out there, with-out wheels, folks don’t getaround.
At 24, Brandon Werringhas many doctors’ appoint-ments to keep and like aninfant is completely depen-dent on others for his care.During the recent round ofcold weather, the Werrings’current van proved unreli-able. Russell Werring hadhoped to equip a 1998 FordWindstar they have to trans-port his son. He recently sentit to a shop to get an itemizedbill for fixing it up.
“It can’t (be equipped), theparts are obsolete,” he said.
Ward was aware of all ofthis.
“I knew that they had acouple of different vans forBrandon. They were all olderand had to have work done onthem and all kinds of moneyput in them,” she said. “They
need something reliable thatthey don’t have to put a lot ofmoney into.”
Before she posted theneed, Ward called to her mombut wasn’t immediately forth-coming about her project.
“You called and asked me abunch of questions and Iwanted to know what for,”Lisa Werring said. Of course,the Werrings were touched bytheir daughter’s thoughtful-ness.
For the Werrings, havingBrandon as a son and brotherhas been a blessing, a chal-lenge and a learning experi-ence. Since his infancy, he hasbeen medically fragile havingbeen bed and chair bound forthe entirety of his life.
As shared in Ward’s Face-book and Go Fund Me Pages,Brandon Werring was diag-

A fire levy will be on the No-vember ballot for Pierce Town-ship residents.
Acting on a recommendationfrom its Finance Committee,the Board of Trustees votedMarch 11 to place a 2.1-mill, 10-year fire levy on the Nov. 3 bal-lot. Voters rejected a 2.8-millcontinuing fire levy last No-vember. Since then members ofthe Finance Committee, com-prised of township residentswith financial/business back-grounds, have been meetingand considering options.
One problem residents iden-tified they struggled with interms of the last levy was itscontinuing nature, committeemember Greg Ossege said. Theother issue was the amount.
“Some people thought it waspretty steep,” he said.
The Finance Committeemembers explained that for2015 they are able to recom-mend a lower millage rate dueto a couple of key factors: thelosses from the W.C. BeckjordPower Plant closure are not aslarge at this time as originallyanticipated, and the committeeis recommending the fire de-partment use its carryover bal-ance of $1.1 million.
In considering the impact ofthe Beckjord closure, the com-mittee had better numbers towork with this year, committeemember Stan Shadwell said.Last year the committee antici-pated the loss of all tax dollarsprovided by the power plant, hesaid. For the fire departmentalone in 2014 that represented aloss of $335,000. New financialdata indicates that the townshipwill not lose all tax dollars col-lected from the power plant, atleast not in the immediate fu-ture, he said.
In February Pierce Town-ship Trustees received updatedfinancial numbers related toBeckjord’s retirement. Accord-ing to numbers shared by Cler-mont County Chief Deputy Au-ditor Chuck Tilbury, the town-
ship stands to lose nearly$700,000 revenue annually as aresult of the closure. The antici-pated revenue loss can be seenin several funds: $34,234.44from the township’s generalfund; $57,011.25 from the roadand bridge fund; $69,463.52from the waste fund; $291,016.31from police; and $229,097.94from fire/EMS for a total of$680,823.46. These figures com-pare 2014 actual receipts to 2016anticipated receipts.
The plant was officially re-tired last September. Thismeans that it was taken offlineand is no longer producing ener-gy. The process of closing theplant is ongoing.
Many things were taken intoconsideration as part of this re-view process, committee mem-ber Ben Pugh said. The depart-ment is in need of at least onenew ambulance, a new pumperand requires incredibly expen-sive equipment. Much of theequipment is federally mandat-ed meaning if the fire depart-ment doesn’t have it, it could beout of compliance, Pugh said.
“Nobody likes to increasetaxes. Nobody likes to pay moretaxes,” committee memberDave Gooch said. People do ex-pect to have quality, profession-al safety services in the town-ship. The proposal from the Fi-nance Committee is the best al-ternative for keeping andmaintaining the services resi-dents expect, he said.

by township voters was in2005.
Over the last fewyears, all township de-partment heads havebeen “hording” money,Township Fiscal OfficerKaren Register said. Ma-jor purchases were putoff in preparation for theBeckjord closure. This iswhy the fire department
and other departmentscurrently have sizeablecarryover amounts.
The fire departmentcan no longer delay pur-chases. Currently two ofthe fire department’s fourEMS units regularlybreak down.
“This is a continuingproblem we’re having on aweekly basis,” TrusteeBonnie Batchler said. “Soit’s important to be able toreplace some of thesesquads.”
Recently one squad
broke down while trans-porting a patient. Becauseof the ongoing mainte-nance issues, the trusteesauthorized the purchaseof a new life squad fornearly $191,000. It willtake eight to nine monthsfrom the order date be-fore the township re-ceives the squad.
A 2.1-mill levy wouldgenerate $691,698 a yearfor the fire departmentand cost a homeowner$73.50 for every $100,000in market value.

nosed at 2-years-old witha rare muscular disordercalled mitochondrialencephalomyopathy. Hiswas the first case diag-nosed in the UnitedStates. He has cerebralpalsy, a seizure disorder,
scoliosis and stroke epi-sodes. In June 1992 Bran-don had a gastrostomyfeeding tube placed. Justtwo-and-a-half yearslater he had a trache-ostomy because his air-way had collapsed.
Despite it all, Brandonis a miracle child withdoctors saying he wouldlive maybe three to fiveyears, possibly 10.Though infant-like andcompletely dependent onhis nurse and family forhis care, Lisa Werringsaid her son’s life haspurpose.
“He’s here to touchsomeone, and then whenhe touches that person,God will take him as anangel,” she said.
The last 24 years havenot been without theirchallenges. Even withtheir hearts full of love
for their child, the Wer-rings acknowledged thatcaring for Brandon hastested their marriageand, at times, their faith.The strain of being care-givers for the disabledcan be draining. A goodcaseworker with Cler-mont County helpedalleviate some of thatstress by helping to se-cure daily in-home nurs-ing care for Brandon.This was only in recentyears. Prior to that in-home nursing supportwas provided for just afew hours a week. Theremaining hours of theday were all on the Wer-rings.
As the older sister,now 31, Ward contributedto her brother’s care.
“I learned a lot ofstuff at a young age thata child should not have to
do,” she said. Ward couldsuction the trach and putin the gastrostomy tube.
Today, she hopes tocontribute through rais-ing enough funds to gether brother a van. The$10,000 is a modest askand would not be enoughmoney to get a brandnew, fully accessorizedhandicap van. But itwould help get a niceused van to equip.
“I don’t need a newvan,” Russell Weringsaid. “Just as long as I’vegot a good, reliable usedvan.”
In addition to the GoFund Me page, Ward hasalso set up a Facebookcommunity page in orderto increase awarenessfor her family’s need.That can be found atHelp Brandon Get a Van.

My favorite cookie sheet isdecades old. It cost a lot less than
my restaurant qual-ity sheets which Ibought years later.When I use that oldcookie sheet, I findmyself smiling,remembering whenmy boys were littleand they shapedcookie dough intoworms, tanks andbugs to bake on it.That’s a piece of
equipment with a history.Whenever I have a speaking
engagement about food or family, Ilike to ask participants what their
most treasured kitchen item is. Itseems like just about everybodyhas a favorite utensil, pot, or gadg-et. “Mine is my mother’s sifter”,one lady said. Another mentionedrolling pans from grandma. Oneyoung person I mentored trea-sured his dad’s apron: “He worethat apron every time he cookeddinner on the grill. Now I wear it”,he said. So don’t get rid of that wellloved kitchen item when you re-place it with new. Pass it down tokeep the traditions and memoriesgoing.
Mike, a Clermont County read-er, needs a recipe for dairy freerolls that are suitable for diabetics.Here’s a good one. I baked these on
my old cookie sheet and theyturned out just fine.
Can you help?Great Scott’s chowder. Trish M.
remembers this chowder fondly.“Great Scott restaurant made thebest potato, corn and jalapenochowder. I've tried to duplicate itbut it's just not the same. I knowthey have closed but is there anychance you can get the recipe? Itwas one of our families favorites.”

Diabetics can enjoy dinner rolls too
Dairy free, egg free dinner rolls
Powdered creamer is used by more than a few bakers toachieve a nice tasting, dairy free, dinner roll. I was surprisedmyself at how well these turned out. They tasted as good asmy higher fat rolls. Nice alongside that Easter ham. Thesefreeze well after baking.
Diabetic exchange: The diabetic exchange is 1-1/2 starch,1/2 fat for each roll. You can make these by hand or machine.
1 tablespoon rapid rise yeast plus a couple pinches sugar2-1/4 cups warm water (110-115 degrees)1/3 cup sugar1/3 shortening1/4 cup powdered nondairy creamer2-1/4 teaspoons salt5-6 cups bread flour
Preheat oven to 350. Dissolve yeast and pinches of sugarin warm water. In a mixing bowl, add sugar, shortening, cream-er, salt and 5 cups flour. Add yeast and mix well on low speed.Turn to medium and beat until smooth. Add more flour ifnecessary to make a soft, but sticky dough. Either knead it for6-8 minutes by machine or by hand. If doing by hand, turn outon floured surface. Knead until smooth, like a baby’s bottom.Place in bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coattop. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punchdown and turn out onto lightly floured surface; divide into18-24 pieces. Shape each piece into a roll. Place 2” apart onsprayed baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, 30-45minutes. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until light golden brown.
Fruited chicken salad from Lazarus
I have a file of department store restaurant recipes. Ashappens occasionally, someone stopped me at the grocery andasked if I had a recipe for this particular one. Anyway, here’sthe recipe with my side notes, from the Columbus store, Ibelieve.
SaladMix together:
4 cups cooked chicken, cubed or chunked up8 oz. diced dates1 cup diced pineapple -- drained1 cup diced celery1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted if you want
DressingWhisk together:
2 cups Miracle Whip salad dressing1 teaspoon sugar1/4 cup evaporated milk2 tablespoons lemon juiceJuice from pineapple -- as needed
Pour dressing over salad and toss gently. This would benice served atop a lettuce leaf.

A publication of
March 12 questionA bill to allow cities to create
open-container districts muchlike those in New Orleans orMemphis, Tennessee, appearslikely to pass the Ohio Legisla-ture this year, and Cincinnatiofficials hope the bill becomeslaw by Opening Day, April 6. Isthis a good idea or a bad idea?Why or why not?
“I think it is a good idea ifyou want the open containerdistrict to have the smell offresh urine, with the owners ofestablishments needing tobasically hose down all aroundtheir places each morning toeliminate the odor.
“I think right now, there is
enough opportunity to drink,with enough bars, in closeenough proximity that a per-son can go from one bar to thenext without having to bring
their alcohol with them. “I’m not against drinking,
but I don’t think anyone thathas been down to any sportingevent or into the OTR VineStreet areas feel that notenough opportunities to drinkare occurring.’
C.S.
“This one surprised me abit. Didn’t know we didn’t al-ready allow open containers inmany parts of Cincinnati.Would not want two of myadmired places to get in trou-ble. Lines of people waiting inthe street for a table, whileenjoying their ‘adult bever-ages’ at one of them, neverseem to have any conflicts.
“The logic of letting peoplewalk outside at another, toavoid annoying guests andbreaking the law by smokinginside, makes sense to me. I’ma recovering nicotine addict,embarrassed by how 30 yearsago I must have really annoyedso many with my habit. As Istood on a street corner in KeyWest, talking to a uniformedpolice officer, while holding alarge ‘adult beverage’ I in-quired about the ‘street law’there. His reply was exactlyhow I believe it should be. ‘Areyou causing any trouble?Didn’t think so. Guess there isno problem.’”
D.B.
“The Reds now start theOpening Day game at 4:15.They shut off Freedom Wayand Joe Nuxhall Way for thatday. They have three to fourvery large ‘beer trailers’ setupand 16-ounce plastic bottles aresold, one per customer for $5.The open container is con-trolled within that area. I amnot sure the benefit of expand-ing this beyond certain specialReds games such as the AllStar game and playoffs. If thelocal bars are in favor then tryit on an experimental basis.You can count on folks sneak-ing their own alcohol into thearea. Go Figure!”

What an interesting winterseason we’ve had. Our snowremoval amounts weren’t asbad as others, but that’s whatyou get when you live in thosefancy places like Boston andNew York; gotta take the bitterwith the sweet.
I’ve gotten old over theyears, and oneof the biggerproblems weolder guysface with snowremoval is thatsometimeswhen you setout to clear apath to thedriveway, youwind up clear-ing a path toBoot Hill, ifyou take my
meaning.Nonetheless it is important
to get the snow cleared awaybefore tornado season. Winterstorms are what you talk aboutduring the winter. Tornadoesare to be discussed in thespring.
It is important to keepthings straight though. Withthis in mind, it appears that weneed to go back over the issueof decriminalizing marijuanayet again. Apparently not ev-eryone understands the issue.We are not voting on labelingmarijuana as medicine, con-trary to what Milford-MiamiDrug Partners are contending.
No, the issue is whethersome people (the poor, minor-ities, marginalized groups) areto be shipped off to jail, brand-ed as felons, have a criminalrecord, denied the right to votefor the remainder of their livesand/or to have their cars andhomes confiscated withoutpossibility of compensation orreturn – even if innocent ofwrongdoing, while other peo-
ple who are “connected” (BillClinton, Barack Obama,George Bush, Jeb Bush and asubstantial number of peopleright here in Clermont County)get to use marijuana withoutfear or threat of penalty.
Jeb Bush’s daughter is anoutstanding example of some-one who got rehab for the sameactivities that others in Floridaare spending time in prison.
No one is calling marijuanaa cure for anything; the issue iswhy we continue to punishsome people harshly whileexonerating others for doingthe same thing: having weed onhand and smoking it.
Besides, marijuana doeshave clinically proven medici-nal properties. It helps withglaucoma, cancer treatmentside effects, and its derivativeshelp children with bad condi-tions. We’re not voting to makemarijuana a cancer treatmentpalliative, we’re voting thatpeople shouldn’t be faced withhorrendous penalties for try-ing it to see if it works.
As for the “Schedule I sub-stance under federal law”malarkey ... get real! All theway back in 1944, the LaGuar-dia Commission in New Yorkcited an exhaustive study ofmarijuana and its effects bythe NY Academy of Medicine.That group issued an exten-sively researched report de-claring that, contrary to pop-ular belief, use of marijuanadid not induce violence, insan-ity, sex crimes or lead to addic-tion or other drug use.
Marijuana was labeled adangerous substance becauseit was so popular with the Mex-icans who came north lookingfor work during the Depres-sion. People were worriedabout jobs – sound familiar?

TIPP CITY — Felicity-Frank-lin needed a monumental come-back if it hoped to win its firstgirls basketball Division IV re-gional championship.
The Cardinals couldn’t putone together, losing to Fort Lo-ramie, 62-48, in their regionalfinal on Saturday night at TippCity Tippecanoe High School.
Felicity-Franklin had trou-ble with the Redskins’ rangylineup. Junior forward HollyFrey led Fort Loramie with 23points, while 5-foot-10 juniorguard Jessica Boerger, namedon Thursday to the first team ofthe Southwest District DivisionIV all-star team, had 13 andthird-team senior forward Kel-ly Turner contributed 14.
The Cardinals are used todealing with size, coach Kerrystamper said. “We’ve been out-sized all year,” she said. “That’snothing new, but we didn’t han-dle it as well tonight becauseFort Loramie has a few moreweapons than just their size.”
Cardinals junior guard Ash-ley Moore, named the districtPlayer of the Year, scored agame-high 30 points, including25 in the third quarter.
Fort Loramie, ranked 10th inthe Associated Press Division
IV statewide poll, has won thelast three regional champion-ships and five of the last six.
The Redskins are scheduledto face the winner of Saturday’sMassillon Region champion-ship game between top-rankedBerlin Hiland and unrankedCuyahoga Heights on Thurs-day at 3 p.m. at Ohio State Uni-versity’s Schottenstein Center.
The Cardinals, who finishedfourth in the Enquirer’s Divi-sion II-IV coaches’ poll, had
won nine straight games sincetheir only two losses of the sea-son. They extended the streakwith a win over Marion Local inMaria Stein in the regionalsemifinals.
Before a packed house, theRedskins scored the first 10points of the game and led, 15-4,after the first quarter.
Turnovers helped keep Fe-licity-Franklin from getting itsoffense on track. The Cardinalscommitted in the first quarterand didn’t score until seniorguard-forward Maria Ruwemade two free throws with 3:06remaining, and senior guard-forward Paige Kessen scoredthe first field goal on a layup offof Moore’s feed with 2:17 left inthe quarter.
“We knew they’d play (man-to-man) defense, but we were alittle taken aback by the ag-gressiveness of their defense.”
Fort Loramie (24-4) – Gas-son 1 0 2, Turner 6 2 14, Benan-zer 2 0 6, Brandewie 1 0 2, Hoy-ing 10 2, Boerger 5 2 13, Frey 103 23. Totals: 26 7 62.

LOVELAND — When they de-parted the Division III tourna-ment last year, Bethel-Tate HighSchool had just been defeated by75 points. It was the end of a pain-ful 1-22 season.
A year later, under new headcoach Tom Jutze, the Tigerswere applauded by their fanswho waited at Loveland’s gymfor their team to exit the lockerroom. Having lost in overtime toMiami Valley Conference-Scar-let champion Clark Montessori,58-52, the claps were apprecia-tion for a hard-fought game andseason.
With much of the same per-sonnel, Bethel-Tate had a win-ning season at 12-11. That’s morethan they had the previous threeseasons combined.
The Tigers had Clark on theropes at halftime with a 32-23lead. However, the swift Cou-gars turned up their press andwent on a 15-4 third quarter runto take a 38-36 lead. Bethel-Tatebattled to have a brief advantageunder the three-minute mark,and the teams eventually fin-ished regulation tied at 48.
In the overtime, the Cougarspulled ahead in the final two min-utes on a few Tiger mishaps.
“We need to finish the game alittle better,” Jutze said. “We hadsome mistakes at the end. Wedidn’t get a key rebound, weturned the ball over, we didn’tget the ball in-bounds and it costus.”
Early in the game, it appearedClark may have been overconfi-dent and Bethel-Tate responded.Led by senior Adam Shinkle’ssharp shooting, the Tigers led 17-12 after the first quarter as theytook the nine-point advantage inat halftime.
“We were moving the ballwell and doing a lot of goodthings,” Jutze said. “When thethird quarter came, we didn’thandle their pressure as well aswe could have. We fought back inthe fourth quarter and made it aballgame.”
Shinkle finished with a game-high 21 points and made threetreys. Junior Kody Curless had11points and sophomore TommyBingamon had eight.
Shinkle led the team in scor-ing at 11.4 per game for the sea-son, He also led in rebounding at6.6, steals at 1.9 and was secondin assists at 2.2 per contest. Hismore important number is his4.3 grade point average. In addi-tion to the East-West All-Stargame, making all-Southwest Dis-trict second team, Shinkle willjoin his hurdler brother, Erik, atthe Naval Academy.
“It’s a big loss for this pro-gram,” Jutze said. “He’s first inhis class. Just an unbelievablekid.”
Along with Shinkle, it was thefinal game for seniors Cody Poffand Jason Altmayer, who addedseven points in the finale.
As sorry as he was to have theseason end, the veteran coachsounded like he was ready tomake the drive from his teach-ing job at Glen Este the next dayto resume practice.
“I enjoy that drive to Bethelevery day,” Jutze said. “I enjoy itbecause these kids work ex-tremely hard every day and theydon’t like to lose. It was a greatopportunity for myself to havethe privilege to coach this team.They really made Bethel-Tateproud.”
Second-leading scorer EvanIding (10.5) will be back for hissenior season along with assistleader Curless. Sophomores whowill be juniors are Bingamon(8.7), Trenton Weeks, Caleb Bas-tin, Jake Stolz and Noah Pickle-heimer. Forward Jacob Rein-hardt will be a sophomore.

Howdy folks! Thismorning it’s raining in-stead of snow. That isgreat! We have hadenough snow for onewinter.
The Bethel MethodistChurchMarch 7,had agroup ofyoungfolks fromthe Be-thune-CookmanUniversityin DaytonaBeachthere to
sing March 7. This groupgoes all over the country.They were a wonderfulgroup. The MethodistChurch had a meal forthem before they sang.One young lady said thiswas the first time theyever had a welcome likethey got here. Everybodysure enjoyed them andtheir singing. I say Godbless them. After theysang, the big bus theywere traveling on tookthem to Lexington fortheir lodging. We hopethey had a good and safetrip back home.
I went through severalbags of bird seed so farthis winter. The other dayI got to really looking atthe different kinds ofbirds at the feeders. Iwrote about making afeeder out of an orangejuice bottle. The birds
will empty the juice canin a day.
I have birds and squir-rels, wild turkeys, dove,crow. The turkey andcrow eat the seeds thatthe squirrels scrape onthe ground so nothing islost. The birds are redheaded woodpecker,downy woodpecker,northern finches, cardi-nal, chickadees, blue jays,house sparrow and com-mon grackle. I have morebirds that I didn’t name;nevertheless they enjoythe bird feed, sweetblacks thistle seed. It is soenjoyable to sit and watchthe birds and other ofGod’s creatures enjoy thefeed.
Some folks said theyhave seen deer aroundtheir feeders. I have notseen the deer, but thereare deer tracks aroundour feeders. Well theyhave to eat too. I havewalnuts I picked up lastfall and the squirrels areenjoying some of them.
I was talking to Bill, hesaid a feller told him thisfeller operates a hotel upby Lake Erie. He said heis keeping his hotel busywith the ice fisherman.He said the ice was 25inches thick and the fish-ermen are catching theirlimit of perch and wall-eye. They can drive theirvehicles out to their fish-ing shacks. I used to liketo go fishing when the icewas safe. That has been
several years ago. That isthe time you can catch abucket full of bluegills.They are good out of thecold water.
I don’t need an alarmclock to wake up in themorning. Chester takescare of that. He does liketo have his breakfast thengo outside for a while.The other morning about5:30 a.m. he jumped up onme and laid there for afew minutes then jumpeddown off the bed. I lookedat the clock then wentback to sleep. All at oncehe jumped on me, thenjust laid there and lookedat me. The time that timewas after 6 a.m. so I gotup. What a joy he is.
Mark your calendarfor a Bethel Easter Canta-ta at 6 p.m. Sunday,March 29, at the BethelNazarene Church. Gracein all its Glory. This isperformed by the BethelCommunity Choir. Thechoir has been workingon this for a while. Afterthe musical there will besome food and a time tovisit.
Start your week bygoing to the house ofworship at your choiceand praising the Lord.
God bless all… Morelater
