CLERMONT CO. — Shan-non Goddard is a greatmom – when she’s not
using drugs.That’s the message her
15-year-old daughter has left incountless birthday, Christmasand other cards over the last 17months Goddard has beenclean.
Goddard is a 38-year-oldmother of two children in Cler-mont County’s Batavia Village.She used heroin every day fora year and a half.
“My kids hatedme,” God-dard said.
“I wasn’t a mom.”Her daughter has moved
back in, but Goddard’s 13-year-old son still lives with her ex-husband, although he is moreopen to visiting her now.
“That life I was living everysingle day was hell,” Goddardsaid.
“You don’t know if you’regoing to shoot up one day andend up on the floor. It’s likeRussian roulette.”
Goddard overdosed at aGold Star Chili restaurant inNorwood close to two yearsago. She woke up on the bath-room floor with a firefighterstraddling her chest.
“Welcome back. You just gotyour second chance,” the fire-fighter told her.
Goshen Township PoliceChief Ray Snyder has seen alot of dead bodies in his 33years in law enforcement.
But what he sees with her-oin users still surprises him.
“In the early ’80s (heroin)was rare, we called them jun-kies and they were typicallyfrom inner cities. You justnever saw it, never reallyheard of it. Now it’s everysingle day,” Snyder said.
Goshen Township Fire ChiefSteve Pegram said his crewsmakemultiple runs everyweek responding to residentswho are unconscious and notbreathing.
It’s often an ugly scenewhen first responders arrive.
“I’m talking lifeless (bod-ies), and they’ve been down forGod knows how long. They’reblue – literally blue – and I’mready to call the coroner’soffice,” Snyder said.
Then paramedics adminis-ter naloxone, a drug developedin the 1960s to counteract opi-ate overdoses.
In the snap of a finger, anear-corpse turns into a fullyresponsive human.
Naloxone only affects peo-ple with opiate-based drugs intheir system.
“Unfortunately, we use a lot
of it,” Pegram said.Other than heart medica-
tion, naloxone is the most-carried drug by Goshen Town-ship paramedics, Snyder said.
Far-reaching problem“It’s an epidemic all over,”
said Darrell Roberts, a GoshenTownship firefighter/paramed-ic.
“It doesn’t just affect oneage group or section of thepopulation. It’s 16- through50-year-olds or beyond.”

BATAVIA — Clermont Countyofficials previously stated theywould open up the contract forthe county’s animal shelter andallowotherorganizationstosub-mit proposals for it in April.
That’s still happening, ac-cording to StephenRabolt, Cler-mont County administrator.
But what Rabolt originallysaidwouldbea90-dayextensionfor the Clermont County Hu-mane Society, which runs theanimal shelter, turned into anine-month extension.
Clermont commissioners ap-proved the nine-month exten-sion during its March 28 meet-ing, about a week after Raboltsaid the contract would be ex-tended for three months in or-der to give officials time tomake a decision.
Rabolt said the increased ex-tension will allow for a “transi-tion period” for what could be a“potentially new organization.”
Representatives of both or-ganizations that previously ex-pressed interest in the contractsaid they have been ready sincelast year.
“We’re ready to jump on (theproposal) as soon as they issueit,” saidAnitaBarron, executivedirector of Clermont PetsAlive.
Eva DeVaughn, who runsClermont to theRescue, said “atleast they’re doing something.

And it’s not just low-income, disenfranchisedpeople using the drugeither, said Lee AnnWat-son, associate director ofthe Clermont CountyMental Health and Re-covery Board.
“People that youwouldn’t expect to beaddicted to heroin areusing,” Watson said.
“It’s in the suburbs, it’sin our schools.”
Northern Kentuckygets a lot of attention forits heroin problems, butit’s just as bad in Cler-mont County, Watsonsaid.
“It may actually beworse. From some of thefigures we’re seeing weare considered one of the
hot spots in the state,” shesaid.
The Cincinnati Enquir-er reported in its series“Heroin: Prescription forPain” that drug overdosedeaths in Clermont Coun-ty rose 2,350 percentbetween 2000 and 2010, orabout 30 times the in-crease in the state’s larg-est county, Cuyahoga.
The problem has onlygotten worse.
» In 2009, the countyrecorded 14 heroin-relat-ed accidental deaths.Since then, the numberof deaths has jumped150percent.
» In 2013, the countyrecorded 35 heroin-relat-ed accidental deaths –with officials still await-ing toxicology reports insome cases.
When looking at allaccidental drug deaths inthe county, about 44 per-cent of those involvedheroin in 2009.
In 2013, about 66 per-cent of those deaths in-volved heroin.
Capt. Steve Leahy, incharge of investigations
for the Clermont CountySheriff’s Office, saidheroin is difficult to con-trol because people are,for the most part, buyingit outside the county.
“Heroin is kind ofunique in that a lot ofpeople don’t go buymassquantities and sell it.They go downtown, getenough for the day andmaybe stop somewherealong the way and use,”Leahy said.
“Suppliers – the peopleholding it – may be in
Cincinnati,theymay bein NorthernKentucky,theymay bein Hamilton(County).
“That’snot to saythere aren’tpeople sell-
ing (in Clermont County),because there are, butthat obviously makes itmuch harder to stem theflow.”
Goddard used to makedaily trips to Cincinnatiwith $20 or $40 to buyheroin. At first she waiteduntil she got back to Cler-mont County to use, butthen got so addicted shecouldn’t wait.
When she overdosed itwas her momwho droveher to Norwood.
“Heroin takes the soulout of you really. Youdon’t care about anything,yourself included,” God-dard said.
“I told myself I wouldnever shoot up. I endedup shooting up. I toldmyself I would never usesomeone else’s needle. Iused someone else’s nee-dle.”
NowGoddardmustmake regular trips toUniversity Hospital inCincinnati for hepatitis Ctreatments. If left un-treated, hepatitis C canlead to liver failure, livercancer and possiblydeath.
Goddard contractedthe disease sharing nee-dles.
Prescription pills arethe gateway to heroin formany. When a prescrip-tion runs out, the addic-tion remains, and it’smuch cheaper to buyheroin than pills.
“That’s me,” said God-dard, who has pulmonaryhypertension, a conditionwhich causes shortness ofbreath and a “racing”heart beat.
Her condition provid-ed a perfect excuse to getpills she eventuallystopped using for theirintended purpose.
“For years doctorswould just ... see my heartand lung condition (and)anything I asked for theywould give me. I couldwalk away with 40 extrastrength Vicodins noproblem. That was myaddiction first,” Goddardsaid.
JesseWeeks, a 33-year-old fromWithams-
ville, did two prison stintsbecause of the heroinaddiction he’s struggledwith since 1999. In 2008,he lived in a tent forabout eight months.
“When you’re sick youdon’t care,” Weeks said.
“You get physicallysick, you get (diarrhea),your legs hurt – you (use
heroin)just to feelnormal.”
Weeksoverdosedbehind theHomeDepot onBeechmontAvenue inUnion
Township last year. Hespent six hours in thehospital and then shot upagain the next day.
“You never forget thefeeling – that rush,”Weeks said.
Weeks recently gradu-ated from the ClermontRecovery Center and hasbeen clean for about nineweeks.
“My son, who is 7years old, he needs me,”Weeks said.
What can be done?Clermont County com-
missioners approvedOhio’s first communityalternative sentencingcenter last year.
People convicted ofnonviolent misdemeanorscan be sent to the centerand receive treatment,counseling, training and
other services.In addition, the Cler-
mont Recovery Center isconsidering using a newdrug called Vivitrol whenusers are released fromjail. Vivitrol decreasesthe chance of relapse byblocking receptors in thebrain to keep an addictfrom getting high on anopiate-based drug.
Vivitrol was used in apilot program inWarrenCounty, where reaction toit has beenmixed. In 2011,Warren County inmateswho received Vivitrolinjections had a 25 per-cent success rate.
Todd Tudor, a nursemanager at the ClermontRecovery Center, said thecenter could eventuallylaunch its own Vivitrolprogram, but for now issending patients toBrown andWarren coun-ties for the treatment.
Even if Vivitrol provesto bemore effective thanits 25 percent successrate in 2011, heroin is aproblemwithout a simplesolution that is still con-founding officials.
“I really don’t knowwhat to do,” Snyder said.
“It’s almost like shoot-ing fish in a bucket.There’s never any end toit, but you’ve got to keeptrying.”

since lastSeptember,” shesaid.
The Clermont CountyHumane Society has beenaccused of not workingwith rescue organizationsin the past.
That’s why commis-sioners contracted with athird-party organization,Clermont Pets Alive, tohelp save dogs from theshelter’s euthanasia list.
Commissioners don’tpay the organization forits help, Rabolt said.
Bonnie Morrison wasnamed interimdirector ofthe county’s animal shel-ter in October after for-mer shelter director KimNagel resigned. Morrisonofficially took over thejob in January.
It is unclearwhyNagelresigned.
“I don’t care what wassaid about us in thepast, itis new management andwe havemoved forward,”Morrison said in an email.
County commissionerspaid the humane society$351,300 of taxpayers’money in 2013 for the “hu-mane housing, care, feed-ing and disposal of straydogs” and administrativeservices, according to thecontract.
The humane societyalso is responsible for dogwarden operations.
Rabolt confirmed theoriginal plan was to seekproposals for both dogwarden and animal shel-ter operations last year.
“I’mnot trying to delayanybody,” he said.
“I’mnot trying tomakeanybody feel like they arebeing ignored, but thisgives people a longenough time frame to re-view (the proposals) with-out being under the gun.”

GOSHEN — A propertytownship officials oncehoped could be developedintoapark isnowinastateof disrepair.
Goshen Fire ChiefSteve Pegram said “thebuilding has been set onfire multiple times.”
“Kidsarebreaking intoit,” he said.
Trustee Claire Corco-ran previously said theproperty on 1799 stateRoute 28 is costing thetownship money becauseof vandalism.
Township Administra-tor Ray Snyder told trust-ees he added about$20,000 of taxpayers’money to his budget fordemolition of the shelterand other structures onthe property.
When questionedabout thatdecisionduringpublic participation at arecent trustee meeting,
Snyder did not budge.“The building and
structures on that proper-ty are a liability, safetyhazard and violation ofour own zoning code,”Snyder said.
“When I say safetyfirst I don’t mean safetyfirst unless it costsmoney- I mean safety first.”
The township acquiredthe property in1996 and itis currently valued at$126,200, according to in-formation found on theClermont County Audi-tor’s website.
Trustees agreed toauc-tion off the 5.9 acres ofland on govdeals.com lastMay.
Officials receivedabidof $45,100 in Septemberfor thepropertyandtrust-ees unanimously ap-proved the sale.
But Snyder advertisedthe property incorrectlyand the salewascanceled.
Trustees put the prop-erty back up for auction
recently, but received anoffer for about $11,000less than before.
Snyder said a recentappraisal valued theprop-erty at $50,000. He saidthe highest bid officialsreceived was around$33,800, or about 65 per-cent of its appraised val-ue.
Trustees decidedagainst selling it.
“I’d rather sell it forsome more money thanthat,” said Trustee LoisPapas Swift.
Trustee Lisa Allenagreed.
“I don’t like the idea ofselling it at 65 percent” ofthe appraised value, shesaid.
Allen said the demoli-tion project was sent outfor bid recently and trust-ees couldmake a decisionabout it at theirnextmeet-ing, which is scheduledfor 7 p.m. Tuesday, April8, at the township build-ing, 6757 Goshen Road.

BETHEL — The starting gunhas fired and the high schooltrack and field season is under-way. The following is a rundownof teams in the Bethel Journalcoverage area.
Bethel-Tate»Dave Schellenberger’s Be-
thel-Tate girls were third in theSouthern Buckeye Conference-American Division in 2013 andthe boys were fourth.
From the Bethel-Tate boysteam, Jake Robinson longjumped 20’ 9” to make regionalsas a sophomore and also runs the200meter and 4x200 relay.
“I think ifwecangethimtobea good technical sprinter, he canbe good,” Schellenberger said.“Jake’s probably our fastestguy.”
From the soccer team, JacobAltmayerwasalsofiguredtobea200 runner, but has been ham-pered by an early quadriceps is-sue.MitchellMcElfresh isanoth-er 200 meter possibility who canhigh jump andmay pole vault.
“He was sixth in the district,so he has a chance tomove to theregionals,” Schellenberger said.
In distance events, Zane Cop-estick and Adam Shinkle returnendurance from their soccer ex-perience.
Leading the Bethel-Tate girlsis seniorDakota Sicurella, a firstteamhurdler as a juniorwho hasbeen to the regional meet.
Other seniors areMaddie Im-hoff, ChristineMeyer and Ange-la Schuler. From cross country,theLadyTigers featureBreannaKeyser, Haley Taylor, TaylorFischer and Gracyn McQueary.Freshman Morgan Reinhart iscurrently injured, but is hopingfor a quick return.
“They’re all freshmen andsophomores this year,” Schellen-berger said of the girls. “PamTaylor, the cross country coach,took over the girls. We’re work-ingreallywell together. It’smore“team.” It’s not just boys andgirls. It’s better when you havejuniors and seniors competing.It’s tougher with freshmen andsophomores.”
Bethel-Tate next competes inthe Norwood Invitational onApril 11.
Felicity-Franklin
» Leading coachTobyLewin’sFelicity-Franklin track squadlast spring was the girls teamthat finishedsecond in theSouth-ern Buckeye Conference-Na-tional Division. However, lead-ing point-getter Arica Stutz hasgraduated and was just a part ofUC-Clermont’s national champi-onship basketball team.
Veterans back for the LadyCardinals include junior hurdlerCaitlin Obermeyer and firstteam middle distance runnerChristina Paskow.
“She went to regionals lastyear in the 800 and 1600,” Lewinsaid.
Obermeyer and Paskow willteam with junior CheyenneTrammell andCourtneyRiggs in
the 4x800 relay.“Courtney Riggs has really
been impressive this year,” Le-win said. “I think she’ll be a bigpart of this team this year. She’sgoing to start the season runningthe 200.”
JuniorBethanyPerkinsmadesecond teamall-leagueas a soph-omore in the shot put andwill bejoined in the throwing depart-ment by Abby Pollock.
Other youngsters slated tohelp out are Morgan Horn fromthebasketball teamthatmadere-gionals and newcomer EmilyShinkle. As for Stutz, there isBrittneyStutz, a cousin of the re-cent run of Stutz sisters.
Onepromisingsprinterwhoisout injured is sophomore Savan-nah Sowers.
“I have a young team,” Lewin
said. “I had 11 girls last year andthis year I have18.”
Likewise, the Felicity-Frank-lin boys are a youthful crewwithsenior Jared Tackett and sopho-more all-purpose runner JacobMartin and high jumper KyleLouderback with the most expe-rience.
“I’m looking for Tackett to dogood things this year and possi-bly go on to regionals,” Lewinsaid.
Promising newcomers aredistance runner Bradley Elkinsand sprinterQuentinHaas.Haasispartofagroupthatbrokearec-ord in the 4x100 in junior high.
“I have a bunch of freshmenthat ran cross country,” Lewinsaid. “That usually translates toother distances.”
McNicholas»The Rockets have a new
head coach in Kyle Jepson, whosteps into the lead role after fiveyears as an assistant coach withthe program.
Hisboys teamfeatures21ath-letes, six of them seniors.
“That’s maybe a little lowernumber than what we’d like,”Jepson said. “The good news isthe boys all will be able to con-tribute.”
The strength of the team liesin the distance corps, led by sen-iors Connor Nelson, AnthonyLuster, T.J. McSwiggan andMark Flatt. Senior pole vaultersDaniel Sandmann and TannerCardone should provide pointsand additional leadership.
Junior thrower Will Algeierreturns after qualifying for theregionalmeet last season.Sopho-mores Blaise Harpring (highjump, hurdles, sprint relays) andJonathan Wenzel (100 and 200meters) bring good speed to theclub.
Freshmen Reese Jabin (longjump, sprints), Ben Johnston
(hurdles) and Evan Por (hurdles,high jumps) should contributeright away.
“Our seniors will be our bestathletes,” Jepson said. “We’rereallycountingonthemtoset theexample.
“With a lot of the young guys,we’re trying to start them onsome of the events that take a lotof technique and practice in thehope of developing them so thattwo, three years from now, theywill be the strength of the team.”
On the girls side, McNick fin-ished second in the GCL CO-Edand theDivision II districtmeet,falling toAlter in the former andNewRichmond in the latter by acombined eight points.
“We graduated 42 of the 103points we scored at districts, butI thinkthis teamwillbeevenalit-tle better than last year,” Jepsonsaid. “We have great depth andwe’ve added some really strongathletes.”
One of them is senior Cather-ine Adams, running her firstyear of track after winning across country district title in thefall. Freshman Adrian Ell comesin with a 5-foot-1 high jump, justan inch off the school record, be-foreevercompetingonthevarsi-ty level.
Twoother freshmen inMeganRack (distance) and Morgan Vo-gler (sprints, hurdles andthrows) should make an impactfrom the outset.
“To win both thosemeets (theGCL and district), which is ourgoal,we’regoing tohave to scorepoints in just about every event.We’ve got good sprints, good dis-tances and with somebody likeAdrian - wherewewere shut outin thehighjumplastyear -agoodchance to score well in thejumps.”

April 20-26 is observed asEarth Week around the world.Today I will reflect on this time
and writeabout what itmeans to me.
In October2005, about 20Clermont highschool stu-dents piledinto a room inthe modularsat MilfordHigh for thefirst meetingof the Leaders’
Environmental Actions Foun-dation, or LEAF.
Over the next five years,the program flourished as anon-hierarchal compact thatstringently promoted environ-mental integrity among all ofClermont’s students. The or-ganization functioned throughcommissioned acts which wereplanned by each of its mem-bers.
LEAFWarriors, as we werecalled, organized the recyclingaudit and disposal program forpaper and plastic; implement-ed pan-campus cleanups eachfall and spring; successfullylobbied schools to place veganmeal options in cafeterias;advocated for Meatless Mon-days at all schools; convened aWinter Solstice Workshop;visited elder care residents atClermont County NursingHome in winter; initiated theStudent Body Archive as anact; facilitated a yearlongclothing drive; picketed cars toturn off their engines at schooldismissals; unwelcomed andprotested a demeaning, crude,and overall exploitative circus;hosted two community conven-tions in 2007 and 2008; and
partnered with the CincinnatiNature Center.
Then, Young LEAF blos-somed at the Milford JuniorHigh School.
Even today, Clermont’syouth are asking ClermontCounty Fair officials to installthe positions of Vegan Queenand Vegan King on the fair’sroyalty court in 2014 - what anawesome, exciting and appro-priate endeavor which every-one should support whole-heartedly.
Today the environment isbeing jeopardized by skepticalconjectures and apathy. Cler-mont County, the cities of Mil-ford and Loveland, and sur-rounding townships have takena proactive stance to combatthis apathy and commence alarge-scale recycling initiative.
Volunteers are petitioningthe EPA for action to removethe thousands of tons of toxicwaste stagnating at Cecos,when the county’s “more directcommunication” has not ar-rived.
Residents have access to amyriad of community gardenprojects that facilitate col-lective produce.
Many of Clermont’s finestcitizens are also joining effortsfor full global nuclear dis-armament, eradication of allradioactive materialization,and securing a tough globalclimate treaty to cease anthro-pogenic climate change for usand future generations.
I hope that higher energystandards, conservation tech-niques, replanting, animalfreedom and more educationand programming also come tothis area.

Last week’s questionEvery week the Community
Press asks readers a questionthey can reply to via e-mail. It’scalledour“Chatroom.”There isalocal and national campaign tomake baseball’s opening day anofficialholiday.Doyouthinkthisis a good idea?Why or why not?
“As the Reds are the oldestprofessionalbaseball organiza-tion in American history, goingback to1869, if thiswere tooffi-cially happen Cincinnati wouldbe a good place to try it out as alocal holiday. Whether or notyou’re a baseball fan you haveto admit that.”
TRog
“I think this is a very goodidea. Baseball is king in thiscity andwe take this day everyyear to honor that.”
Terry Garvin
“Thingsare just finehere inCincinnati on Opening Day. Ifothers wish to do the samething they should be able to doit without bringing in the localor national governments.”
R.V.
“Whynot?Sinceagreatdealof people take off work for
Opening Day on any profes-sional baseball team, andwatch their parades, might notbeabad idea. I thinkCincinnatishould be the first selected forthissincetheyhadthefirstpro-fessional baseball team!”
OHR
“I’m not really sure if othercitiescelebrateOpeningDayinthe same fashion as Cincinnati.There is a lot of activity that isexhibited on Opening Dayfromearlymorningandtill latein theevening. Iknowthestadi-um only seats approximately40,000, but many many moretake off work that day, due tosickness or whatever, andboost our economy by fre-quenting a local establishmentsomewhere to watch on TV.
“I also understand thatOpening Day causes some ofthe highest absenteeismwithinour school systems, and possi-bly the lowest productionwith-in most companies. Did youever try to get anything donewith a local or county office onthis day? I know when I wasworking, we always had a TVand refreshments for our cus-tomers in the lobbyandhad theemployees dress in their Redsgarb. This is a day of enjoy-
ment and socializing amongstthousands of people, and if wecan’t do this just for one day,maybe we should just keep onas is and continue to playhooky.”
D.J.
“Yes. Let’s have some funoutdoors after thewinter dulls.This shouldnot be abargainingchip in business but a nationalday tomissworkor schoolwithno penalty at either. Less weforget it has been labeled thenational pastime.
“Boysandgirlsstartplayingat very young ages, moms anddads cheer in the bleachersrings in small towns to largecities, sand lots. So, let’s playball.”

I may be jinxingmy-self, but I think we’vefinally transitioned intospring. The last few days
have con-vincedme,and in ourlittle patchof woods,I’m seeingtrue har-bingers:watercressin ourspring-fedpool andtrilliums,
bloodroot, anemones andspring beauties all pokingup through the leaves.The dandelions and wildonions are all over theplace. Both nutritious wildedibles.
Meanwhile, we’re gear-ing up for Easter. One ofmy favorite yeast buns tomake is hot cross buns.Now these aren’t extreme-ly sweet, like a sweet roll(they’re a bun, remem-ber), but just sweetenough to really enjoywith a cup of tea or glassof milk.
Legend has it that ifyoumake yeasted hotcross buns for Good Fri-day and hang one up inthe kitchen, you’ll havesuccess with anything youmake with yeast all year‘round. That won’t behappening at my house!
Let the kids help.Granddaughter Eva lovedmaking the cross deco-ration. You can also sim-ply use the icing as a glazeover the whole bun.
Buns1pkg. (1/4 oz.) active
dry yeast, regular or rapidrise
1 tablespoon plus 1/2cup sugar, divided
1cup warmmilk (110°-115°)
1/4 cup softened butterCouple dashes salt1/2 to 1 cup raisins1 large egg, room tem-
perature3-1/2 to 3-3/4 cups all-
purpose flourPreheat oven to 375. In
mixer bowl, dissolve yeastand1 tablespoon sugar inwarmmilk. Let stand for5minutes. It will foam up.Add butter, raisins, egg,salt and remaining sugar;beat until smooth.
On low speed, pour inenough flour to form softdough - I used 3-1/2 cups.Turn onto very lightlyfloured surface (not toomuch flour or buns will betough); knead untilsmooth like a baby’s bot-tom, about 5minutes. Iused the dough hook soavoided hand kneadingand extra flour.
Place in sprayed orbuttered bowl, turningonce to coat top. Blessdough! Cover and let risein warm place until dou-bled, 1 hour ormore. Sticka finger in gently, if in-dentation remains, you’regood to go; if it springsback, it needs to raisemore.
Punch dough down.Divide into 12 portions.Shape into balls.
Place in sprayed orbuttered13x9 pan. Coverand let rise until doubled,about 45minutes.
Bake 25-30minutes oruntil golden. Mine weredone at 25minutes.
Icing
Whisk together:2 cups confectioner’s
sugar1 tablespoon vanilla4 tablespoons water or
more if needed.Make across shape on each bun.
Tip from Rita’skitchen:
Raising in fridge: Asan experiment, I divideddough in half and let halfraise at room temperatureand half in fridge coveredovernight. The doughfrom the fridge took long-er to raise, but both batch-es came out great.
Hawaiian roll cloneLeave out raisins and
icing and you have a rollthat tome tastes likestore-bought Hawaiianrolls. The crust is not assoft, but the sweet flavoris there.
Yeast basicsBack in the old days
yeast came in the form ofmoist little cakes and hadto be refrigerated. Nowwe can buy dry yeast inthe store. It comes inmany forms, from regularyeast to rapid rise tobreadmachine yeast. Alleasy to use.
Is it fresh?Tomake sure your
yeast can still leaven, adda little to somewarmwater with a pinch ofsugar. It should foam upwithinminutes. If not,toss it. Yeast kept in thefreezer stays fresh long-er.
Can you help?Yeasty flavor in
breads: Lois B. has a

Howdy folks,This article is differ-
ent in that it is mostlyabout our hometown ofBethel. There are twohardware stores, Bishopsand Village. You can finditems there that the big
storesdon’t have.We neededsomescrewsthat havethreads onboth endsfor a pro-ject we aremaking. SoI went toBishops
and told the feller what Ineeded. He went to theboxes and kept pullingtill I saw the right size. Iwas amazed. They haveplants, garden tools,tillers, lawnmowers, allkinds of different plants,mulch, etc. If they don’thave the item they willtry to get it. They alsohave repairs for pressurecanners.
The other one, VillageHardware, at the otherend of Bethel, will havelumber and other items.The folks that work therewill greet you with a bigsmile and help you. Theyhave seed taters, onionsets and on their sign Isaw they have heirloomseeds, plus other items.The owner Luann will beglad if you stop and shop.
There are gas stations,a grocery store, IGA,where you can get yoursupply of groceries andthe store is clean and
well organized. Theyhave a special room for$1 items. They are sohelpful. The deli willhave fried chicken,which is my favorite, andof course other dishes inthe food counter. Wehave plenty of restau-rants to eat at too.
There are banks tokeep your money in andthe folks that work thereare so helpful. Especiallyfor me, when I don’t un-derstand the new tech-nology.
As my friend alwayssaid, ‘I tell you folks;’there is a feed mill in mytown that has about ev-erything you need foranimal feed. They alsohave plants for the gar-den, honey bee supplies,all kinds of feeders forbirds and animals, theyalso grind feed, havestray dog boxes, all kindsof items for your ani-mals. Stop in and browsearound the store or thefeed mill, there are veryfew feed mills that grindfeed. When you go in thefeed mill you may hearbaby chicks chirp, orbaby ducks, baby turkeysand at Easter they havebaby rabbits I think, sostop and say hello toSusan and their otheremployees.
There are two drug-stores where you can getall kinds of supplies forthe medicine cabinet,prescriptions to be filled.
If you are interestedin antiques stop at thePickers Paradise. Theyhave some of the items Ihave never seen, so stopand say hello to Gary andGloria. Also there is thePink Elephant which hasfurniture and antiques.
There are automotiverepair stores and a ga-rage to repair your vehi-
cle. Stop and say hello toScott.
The schools here inBethel are No. 1. Thestudents can get a goodeducation in theseschools. There is the U.S.Grant Vocational CareerCenter where a studentcan go and train for acareer in the businessworld. Now if you wantsome excellent food visitthe Sports Gallery. Thestudents under the su-pervision of the Forcee
Brothers do a great job.So come to my town
Bethel and shop there.The Bethel communi-
ty is unique in that thechurches of the town gettogether for Holy Weekservices. They beginApril 13 at the Communi-ty Christian Church withFather Mike Leshneypreaching; Monday, April14, at Bethel Assembly ofGod, Pastor Ben Hurstpreaching, Tuesday atFaith Chapel, with their
church doing a drama,“It Is Finished,” Wednes-day at Bethel Church ofthe Nazarene with PastorJeremiah Hembreepreaching Thursday atthe United MethodistChurch with a drama andmusic with communionat the Lord’s Table.

morning at 6:30 a.m.Sunrise Service will be atNorthside BaptistChurch with Pastor ScottWade preaching.
