Village ofNewtonsville placedin ‘fiscal caution’

Auditor of State DaveYost placed the Village ofNewtonsville in a state offiscal caution today andadded it to the “unaudit-able list” as a result ofsignificant deficiencies inits financial records.

“When your recordsare so bad that our teamcannot determine fundbalances, that’s sayingsomething – and it’s not a

compliment,” Yost said.“The citizens of Newtons-ville should be quite con-cerned. We are, and that’swhy Newtonsville is un-der fiscal caution.”

State auditors foundthat the village does nothave a fiscal officer, andgave officials 90 days tobring village accounts,records and reports intoan auditable condition. Inaddition, village officialshave 60 days to provide aplan to correct the condi-tions that led to the decla-ration of fiscal caution.

A review of financialdata discovered that thevillage’s account journalsand ledgers have not beenreconciled with the banksince Dec. 31, 2012. Addi-tionally, audit staff couldnot determine the vil-lage’s fund balances for2014, 2015 and 2016 be-cause its records were insuch poor condition andrequired reconstruction.

The village’s 2012-2013basic audit identifiedsignificant deficiencies,material weaknesses anddirect noncompliancewith Ohio law. The auditdetermined that expendi-tures exceeded appropri-ations in the general fund,contributions to OPERSwere not submitted, bankreconciliations were notperformed and financialreports were not filed for

either year.Auditors found that the

village moved the entirebalance of the Mayor’sCourt account to the Vil-lage account. However, apercentage of those fundsshould have been remit-ted to the state.

The Auditor of State’sguidelines for a declara-tion of fiscal caution in-clude 1, unauditable fi-nancial records; 2, signifi-cant deficiencies, materi-al weaknesses, direct andmaterial noncomplianceas disclosed in the fi-nancial audit; 3, deficitfund balances; 4, a car-ryover fund balance ofless than one month’saverage expenditures fortwo consecutive years,and 5, a failure to recon-cile accounting journalsand ledgers with the trea-sury.

The Auditor of Statemay visit and inspect theentity while under fiscalcaution and may providetechnical assistance to theentity in implementingproposals to eliminate theconditions that promptedthe fiscal caution declara-tion.

A full copy of this fis-cal caution declaration isavailable online.

By Mickey Karram, MD, The Christ Hospital Health Network

Don’t just keepon keeping on!

Age and childbirth take their tollon a woman’s body. But problemswith bowel and bladder control (andsex!) from a weakened pelvic floorare often fixable.

Women tend to put themselveslast. And cope. And not complain.But some personal problems, likesexual discomfort and accidentalbladder and bowel leakage, arereally troublesome. The painful em-barrassment these symptoms causewon’t go away on its own. Luckily,help for these common pelvic floorailments is at hand.

What is the pelvic floor?The pelvis is the ring of bones at-

tached to your legs at the hips. Thisring forms a basin that supports therest of your body. The pelvic flooris the sling of muscles, ligaments,connective tissues and nerves thatcovers the bottom of the basin. Thissling holds up organs in the pelvissuch as the bladder, rectum, uterus(womb) and vagina. Besides keepingthem in place, the pelvic floor helpsorgans work appropriately. In otherwords, it controls bladder and bowelfunction, keeps the organs in theirproper place and allows women tohave enjoyable intercourse.

How do I know if I havea pelvic floor problem?

Just as elastic wears out overtime, the pelvic floor muscles canbecome weak and the ligaments andother tissues can be stretched ordamaged. Extra strain in this areaincreases the chance of developinga problem. Past pregnancies withvaginal delivery, obesity, chroniccoughing, heavy lifting or strainingduring bowel movements increasethe risk. Aging and decreasedestrogen levels, as from menopauseor certain cancer treatments, alsoadd to the risk. So can any medicalcondition that affects the nerves, orsurgery or radiation in the pelvicarea. Almost 30 percent of wom-en — and some men, too — will, atsome time in their lives, develop apelvic floor disorder.

Problems with the pelvic floorcan lead to many symptoms. A fre-quent complaint is bowel or bladdercontrol problems. Muscle weaknessand/or nerve damage in this areacan cause urine leakage or inconti-nence, overactive bladder, bladderpain or frequent bladder infections.It can also cause incontinence ofstool, chronic constipation or diffi-culty evacuating your bowels.

In addition, some patients suf-fer from pelvic organ prolapse.Prolapse means that organs, suchas the bladder, rectum, uterus orvagina, are not well supported andsink lower than they should. Even-tually they can protrude outside thevaginal opening. If a woman lives tobe 80 years old, she has an 11 per-cent chance of having an operationfor prolapse. Other common prob-lems include pelvic pain, painfulintercourse and a variety of thingsthat can contribute to female sexualdysfunction.

What treatment optionsare there?

Many treatment options exist.These are tailored for each indi-vidual patient after initial testing.Therapy often combines approach-es. Simply educating a patient onher condition or making simplechanges in behavior sometimesdoes the trick. Nutritional counsel-ing can also help a patient avoidcertain foods that may worsen hisor her condition, or eat a high-fiberdiet to help soften stool.

Sometimes physical therapy andbiofeedback are used. These treat-ments can help patients learn to

identify, strengthen and relax theirpelvic muscles in order to improvebladder and bowel function, anddecrease pelvic pain. Medicationsare used to treat pelvic floor dis-orders such as overactive bladder,the thinning of tissues in the genitalarea and certain pain syndromes.

Another available treatmentoption is a pessary. A pessary is asmall plastic or silicone medicaldevice inserted into the vaginaor rectum. This device can helpsupport the pelvic organs and keepthem from falling out of place (pro-lapsing). Surgery may be recom-mended if symptoms persist afterother less-invasive options havebeen tried. Most surgical optionsare minimally invasive. This kindof surgery is generally less painful,with less scarring and a quickerrecovery than standard surgery.

New at Frontier Days: Youth bike paradeJeanne [email protected]

JEANNE HOUCK/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

You never know who's going to show up for the parade at Milford's annual Frontier Days, to beheld this year from June 2 to June 5.

Representatives fromUSDA’s Rural Develop-ment team celebratedEarth Day by visiting new-ly funded projects thatwill improve rural waterquality and safety in 33states across the country.

USDA is investing $183million in 60 water andwastewater infrastruc-ture projects through Ru-ral Development’s Waterand Environmental Pro-gram (WEP), which pro-vides technical assistanceand financing to developdrinking water and waste

disposal systems for com-munities with fewer than10,000 residents.

“Safe drinking waterand sanitary waste dispos-al systems are vital notonly to public health, butalso to the economic vital-ity of small communities,”Agriculture SecretaryTom Vilsack said. “Help-ing rural communitiesbuild and upgrade theirwater infrastructure isone more way USDAstrengthens rural areas.Building and maintainingwater infrastructure cre-

ates jobs, boosts the econ-omy, and provides ruralfamilies with safe, reliablewater and wastewater fa-cilities that improve theenvironment.”

The Village of New-tonsville and the sur-rounding area will benefitfrom a loan of $4,218,000and a grant of $2 million tothe Clermont County Com-missioners. Funds will beused to construct a newwastewater collection andtreatment system fornearly 400 residents. New-tonsville is situated along

the East Fork Little MiamiRiver basin – which flowsinto the Little Miami River– a state and national sce-nic river. Roughly 40 per-cent of 171 systems on linein the area are either infailure or at risk of failure.The new wastewatertreatment facility willhelp protect the Little Mi-ami River watershed –which flows through all orpart of 11 Ohio counties –safeguarding the health ofarea residents and helpingto protect the environ-ment.

A listing of local bikeand hike trails (someinformation fromwww.traillink.com:

Little Miami ScenicTrail

As of July 2015,groundbreaking has oc-curred to extend the trail3.2 miles farther south(closer to Cincinnati)from its current southernterminus at the LittleMiami Golf Center inNewtown to state Route32 and Beechmont Ave-nue. The project is ex-pected to be completed inspring 2016. This willallow connections to bemade to the ArmlederPark Trail and the LunkenAirport Bike Path.

Trailhead and parkingat Little Miami Golf Cen-ter, 3811 Newtown Road.

LovelandThe city is building the

125-spot McCoy ParkingArea, which connectsdirectly to the bike trial.

Loveland has a trail inthe East Loveland NaturePreserve. The city recent-ly built a walking bridgeover to the preserve tomake it easier to get tofrom East Loveland Ave-nue.

Kennedy said cyclingand the bike trail are defi-nitely an important partof the Loveland communi-ty.

“Given the businessesin downtown Loveland, itis a great destination forboth bikers and walkers.The trail passes by NisbetPark which is a greatstopping place and in-cludes public restrooms.Our local businesses arevery welcoming to thebikers and walkers thatutilize the trail. The biketrail has been a sellingpoint for the developers

of Loveland Station,”Kennedy said.

Ohio River TrailWhen complete, the

Ohio River Trail in east-ern Cincinnati will be animportant 23-mile connec-tor between downtown,riverfront parks, thecity’s municipal airportand many neighborhoods.Currently, nearly eightmiles of the trail (in dis-connected segments) areopen along the river’snorthern shore, includinga short overlap with theLunken Airport Bike Path.

Eventually, the OhioRiver Trail will also con-nect to the Little MiamiScenic Trail. More than240 miles of the trail arecurrently complete andopen for use.

Parking lots are avail-able at Corbin Street,Riverview East Academy(3555 Kellogg Ave.), andoff Wilmer Avenue,where the trail meets theLunken Airport Bike Path.

Pierce TownshipTrails are on the list of

proposed improvementsincluded in the recentlypresented Pierce Town-ship Parks Draft MasterPlan. The township haspaved trails in PierceTownship Park and natu-ral walking trails on thePierce Nature Trail. Thegoal will be to expand andgrow the park systemwith a focus on intercon-

nectivity and walkabilitywithin the township.

Williamsburg to Bata-via Hike/Bike Trail

The Williamsburg toBatavia Hike/Bike Trail isboth off-road (utilizingabandoned roads) andshared-road (on Williams-burg-Bantam Road).Equestrians are permit-ted on the portion of thetrail that follows Wil-liamsburg-Bantam Road.

Plans are to extend itfarther to the William H.Harsha Lake Dam for atotal of 15 miles.

Public access is avail-able on the eastern end ofthe trail in Williamsburgat the Harmony Hill Mu-seum (Third Street andLytle Avenue), Communi-ty Park, and the trailheadat the intersection ofThird and Main streets.

WHERE CAN IRIDE ORWALK?

Township Planner TomCaruso said. The LittleMiami Trail is part of thelarger Ohio to Erie trail.When it’s done, and it’sabout 90 percent com-plete, the trail will extendfrom downtown Cincin-nati to Lake Erie in Cleve-land, all off of the road.

“This will be one oflargest and longest trailsin the country,” Carusosaid.

The township andGreat Parks are nowworking to generate dol-lars to fund a bridge toconnect the Little MiamiScenic Trail to the LunkenAirport Trail and Arm-leder Park Trail.

“People will almost beable to get down to Cin-cinnati,” he said.

Newtown Mayor MarkKobasuk welcomes theSaturday, May 21, openingof a 3.15-mile extension ofthe Little Miami ScenicTrail, stretching from theLittle Miami Golf Centerat 3811 Newtown Road inNewtown through An-derson Township to theBeechmont Avenue/stateRoute 32 ramp inter-change.

The project is connect-ing communities through

their public parks, in-cluding Newtown’s ShortPark at 3623 Church St.

“This is a great biketrail,” Kobasuk said.

Whether the trail willever connect with LakeBarber Park in Newtownremains to be seen.

Newtown opened thepark off Round Bottomand Edwards roads lastyear but is still studyingideas for its long-termdevelopment.

Business, communityand Newtown villageleaders brought togetherby a consultant have saidthey would like to seeLake Barber Park con-nected to the Little MiamiScenic Trail.

Anderson Township isalso part of Tri-StateTrails, an initiative ofGreen Umbrella (for-merly Regional TrailsAlliance) focused on con-necting Indiana, Ken-tucky and Ohio via trails.Group members includeHamilton, Clermont, But-ler, Clinton and Warrencounties in Ohio, Camp-bell, Kenton and Boonecounties in Kentucky andcounties in Indiana.

Many municipalities,townships, and parks arepart of this initiative,Caruso said.

Along with the LittleMiami Trail, there areefforts to extend the OhioRiver Trail. A $30,000

grant from Interact forHealth was recentlyawarded to AndersonTownship for preliminaryengineering for the exten-sion of the Ohio RiverTrail in Anderson. Whenconstructed, the new trailsection will extend toClermont County.

Caruso is hoping tocollaborate with ClermontCounty Parks, GreatParks, Pierce Townshipand New Richmond tobuild the Ohio River Trailthrough Clermont County.

“The aim is to get allthe way from downtownto New Richmond,” hesaid. “That’s for this part.On the other side, it willgo from downtown to theIndiana border and onfrom there.”

Ultimately the trailwill connect Pittsburgh toCairo, Illinois.

The impetus behindthe efforts is all focusedon health. With connectiv-ity between trails andcommunities, there areincreased opportunitiesfor both passive and ac-tive physical activity,Caruso said.

These trails also pro-vide economic benefitswith additional relateddevelopment and tourism.

Clermont CountyLast year a segment of

the Clermont County bike

trail was completed thatextended the trail sixmiles from Williamsburgto Zagar Road in BataviaTownship.

This summer anotherportion of the trail will becompleted extending it toGreenbriar Road in Bata-via.

Chris Clingman, direc-tor of the Clermont Coun-ty Park District, saidShort Summit Road,which connects to ZagarRoad, will be paved up toGreenbriar Road. Theextension will be about amile.

Greenbriar Road willbe both accessible to bothcyclists and motorists inwhat is referred to asshared use.

Clingman said futureplans for the ClermontCounty trail are to extendit to the William H. Har-sha Lake Dam and thevillage of Batavia.

The trail will be about15 miles in length.

Clingman said thepaving and addition ofsignage should be com-pleted in July or August.

“People really like theZagar Road section of thetrail because is is througha wooded area (and) ascenic trip through thewoods, he said. “(Thetrail) connects to a fairlylarge subdivision on Za-gar Road (and) provides

another recreational op-portunity for the peopleliving there.”

The Milford Bike Trailand the Milford Trailheadare important assets forboth economic-devel-opment and quality-of-lifereasons, Milford MayorLaurie Howland said.

“These important as-pects to the vitality of thecity is why council madethe decision in early 2015to purchase the trail-head,” Howland said.

“We needed to pre-serve our access to it.”

Howland said the biketrail, which is part of theLittle Miami Scenic Trail,is a great recreationalresource for residents.

“I, myself, probablyrun the trail three to fourdays a week during thespring and summer,”Howland said.

“I know of other resi-dents who moved to Mil-ford due to the access tothe trailhead.”

The trail also brings invisitors.

“We also get a lot ofcyclists who come to thecity, park, ride the trailthen spend another partof their day visiting ourshops and dining here,”Howland said.

MAY 5, 2016 • BETHEL JOURNAL • 7ANEWS

I have to chuckle at the photo I’msharing today. Not a usual photo offood, but one that relates to food atits source.

It’s two of my grandchildren andtheir friend, Baxter. You’ll see Em-erson leading, Baxter behind andlittle Ellery last.

Their destination was supposedto be the green onion row wherethey were to pick onions for theCinco de Mayo spread recipe thatI’m sharing today.

Well, they spied the mulch pileand decided that was more fun thanpicking onions. I caught them walk-ing through the tilled garden ontheir way to the mulch.

I’ve also been to Emerson’sschool, along with two of my othergrandchildren, Eva and Jack, tocelebrate Earth Day and love thatthey are so interested in what Moth-er Nature has to offer.

I told the teachers Iwould share tips forherbs gardens, soalong with the recipesfor celebrating Cincode Mayo and DerbyDay, here’s good in-formation on herbgardening.

Tips on starting anherb garden

Herbs don’t require a lot of tend-ing. Good soil, watering until they’reestablished and good drainage isessential. If you grow in containers,know that you’ll have to water andfertilize a bit more.

Don’t over water or over fertil-ize, as you’ll wind up with lushgrowth but the volatile oils thatflavor the herbs won’t develop.

What herbs to grow?Think about the foods you like to

eat.Cook’s garden could include pars-

ley, basil, rosemary, sage, thymeand oregano.

Pizza garden. Try a grape orcherry tomato plant surrounded byoregano or marjoram, basil, rose-mary and thyme.

Tea garden could have mint,rosemary, stevia, chamomile, lemonverbena, thyme and sage. There areendless variations, and I have moreinformation on my website: aboutea-ting.com.

Derby Day mini hot browns

I’ve shared the Brown Hotel’s authentic hotbrown sandwich before for Derby Day. Here’s anappetizer version.

1/4 cup chicken broth3 tablespoons butter2 tablespoons flour3/4 cup half & half1 cup cheddar or Swiss or combo of both 18 slices snack rye bread or baguette slices8 oz sliced deli turkeyThinly sliced sweet onion, separated into

rings6 strips cooked and crumbled baconParsley

Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter over medi-um heat and stir in flour until smooth. Stir in creamand broth. Bring to boil and cook for a coupleminutes or until thickened, stirring constantly.Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted.Put bread on baking sheets. Layer each piece withturkey, onion and cheese sauce. Sprinkle withbacon. Bake 10 minutes or until heated through.Sprinkle with parsley.

Cinco de Mayo spread

16 oz refried beans (I like Mexican style)

1/4 cup Picante sauce1-1/2 cups guacamole1/2 cup each sour cream and mayonnaise2-3 tablespoons taco seasoning1 heaping cup shredded Mexican cheese

blend or cheddar2-1/4 oz can ripe olives, sliced and drainedGarnish: Chopped green onions, shredded

lettuce, chopped tomatoes, cheeseChopped fresh cilantro

Combine beans and Picante sauce. Spreadonto shallow platter. Spread with guacamole.Combine sour cream, mayo and taco seasoning andspread over guacamole. Sprinkle with garnishesincluding cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips.

Don’t like cilantro? You’re probably using toomuch. There’s a natural component of cilantro thathas the taste of soap. That’s why folks think cilan-tro tastes like soap when you use too much.

A publication of

Clermont County PublicHealth is urging citizens toprotect themselves againstmosquito bites this summer.

Mosquitos are known car-riers of disease such as WestNile Virus and other virusesthat can cause encephalitis.More recently there is con-cern with Zika virus.

The main carrier of theZika virus is the yellow fevermosquito, which lives in thetropics and the southernUnited States, but is notfound in Ohio. A closely relat-ed species, the Asian tigermosquito, is present in Ohioand may potentially transmit

the virus. Cur-rently all casesof Zika virus inOhio have beenfrom travelersreturning fromimpactedareas.

Althoughnearly 80 per-cent of individ-uals infectedwith the viruswon’t show anysigns or symp-

toms, the biggest threat is topregnant women who cantransmit the virus to theirfetus during pregnancy. The

Centers for Disease Controlhas recently confirmed thatZika during pregnancy cancause birth defects such asmicrocephaly, a conditionwhere an infant’s head issmaller than average.

Clermont County PublicHealth will be participatingin the U.S. Zika pregnancyregistry.

“We will be notified by theOhio Department of Health ifany pregnant women in Cler-mont County test positive forZika, then they will be mon-itored by one of our regis-tered nurses,” Health Com-missioner Julianne Nesbit

said. The CDC is also ad-vising that pregnant womenavoid traveling to areaswhere Zika virus transmis-sion is ongoing.

“It is always important toprotect yourself and yourfamily from mosquito bites.Taking simple precautionslike using an EPA-registeredinsect repellant and wearinglong pants and shirt is themost effective way to protectagainst bites,” Nesbit said.

Homeowners can alsomake their yards uninvitingto mosquitos. Adult mosqui-tos prefer to rest in tall weedsand grasses, and use small

puddles of stagnant water tobreed and lay their eggs.

“Checking to make surethere is nothing that will col-lect water after a rainstorm,such as children’s play equip-ment, buckets, or empty flow-er pots, will deter mosquitosfrom using your yard as abreeding ground,” Nesbitsaid.

Visit Clermont CountyPublic Health’s website atwww.ccphohio.org or followtheir Facebook page for up-dates on Zika in Ohio andother public health issues.

Julianne Nesbit is ClermontCounty Health commissioner.

Protect yourself from mosquito bites this season

What is the Large HadronCollider? Simply, it is a 17-milein circumference tunnel severalhundred feet below charming

Swiss and Frenchtowns, villages,and countryside, aring filled with $5billion of hugemagnets, detec-tors and comput-ers used to accel-erate beams ofprotons head-on ateach other toproduce sub-atomic particlesthat are studiedby more than

10,000 scientists and physicistsfrom around the world.

The scientists hope that theirstudies of the interaction be-tween protons, neutrinos,quarks, leptons and bosons willprovide clues to the formationof the universe during the theo-rized “Big Bang” of 13.8 billionyears ago. One particle, theHiggs boson, named for phys-icist Peter Higgs who predictedit in 1964, was allegedly detectedin 2012 and is nicknamed the“God particle” for its expectedability to explain phenomenaconnected with the universe’screation.

Cost of discovery of theHiggs boson exceeded $13.25billion, according to Forbesmagazine.

Despite a large scientificstaff gleaned from more than600 universities and operationalcosts exceeding $1 billion a year,

listed accomplishments for theCERN (European Organizationfor Nuclear Research) facility atGeneva since 1954 seem to befew and far between. The tourdocent explained how the Collid-

er works, but focused mainly onhow the facility was built andequipped, not on meaningfuldiscoveries.

Joel Achenbach in NationalGeographic magazine (March2008) noted a fear that “the col-lider will fail to find the thingsthat physicists insist must belurking in the deep substrate ofreality. Such a big machineneeds to produce big science,big answers, something that cangenerate a headline as well asinteresting particles.”

CERN does claim that one ofits scientists designed the firstweb page for the Internet in1989.

Writing to his father in Geor-gia in April, 1945, an Americanmissionary serving as a captainin the U.S. Army in China musedabout hoped-for life as a farmerafter the war: “I only wantenough of science to enablefruitful husbandry of the landwith simple tools, a time forleisure, and the guarding of myfamily’s health. I do not care tobe absorbed in the endless ex-amining of force and space andmatter, which I believe can onlyslowly lead to God.”

Ironically, four months lateratomic discoveries at the Man-hattan Project brought theyoung captain’s war to an end.

Perhaps peaceful cooperationbetween its 20 European mem-ber states (and Israel) will bethe only real accomplishment ofCERN despite lofty and expen-sive dreams. The word “utopia”means “nowhere” – after centu-ries of constant, senseless, andbloody warfare, cooperationbetween Europeans seems likeutopia. May the money not runout.

April 28 questionWhat local bike and hike

trails do you use? How oftendo you use them?

No responses.

April 21 questionShould Ohio consider and

enact laws similar to thoserecently signed into law inNorth Carolina and Mississippiregarding religious freedomand LGBT rights? Why or whynot?

“Absolutely not! LGBTrights have to do with Amer-ican citizen rights not reli-gious rights. I consider my-self very religious. The

times the Jesus socializedwith people his society con-sidered outcasts are numer-ous. As religious people, weare called out to welcome

and love our neighbors (Je-sus didn’t put on qualifiers).As Americans, we should notlimit basic human rightssuch as feeling comfortableusing a rest room. As humanbeings, we’re learning moreand more about the geneticmakeup of people, findingthat biologically, there’smore a continuum of genderthan just male and female.Lastly, I don’t think it’s goodfor us as a state, seeing allthe businesses that havepulled ventures/events out,thus hurting those stateseconomically.

National Day of Prayer Disasters - destruction -

disease - and deaths! Horrificheadlines that we see eachday in America.

On Thursday, May 5,Americans will pray to Godon this 66th annual NationalDay of Prayer. From theCourt House to the StateHouse, from public parks tochurch pews people will meetto pray. A noon prayer ser-vice will take place on theCourt House steps in down-town Batavia. CommissionerBob Proud will introduceelected officials who will doBible reading while areapastors pray for our country,our county, our communityand our children. .Patrioticmusic will echo thru thestreets while “Ol’ Glory”waves in the warm breeze.

Noted soloist John Halewill sing several songs as wellas Todd Kritzwiser and Jenni-fer Thomas. All area pastorsare invited to the “PastorsBrunch” that morning at 11a.m. on the third floor of theadministration building. Thisbountiful brunch is hosted byPastor Dale Campfield andthe Eastgate CommunityChurch. Each pastor maybring one vet from theirchurch as his guest.

As Americans pray May 5,we’re reminded of 11 Chron-icles 7:14 - “If my people whoare called by my name, shallpray and seek My face, turnfrom their wicked ways, thenwill I hear from Heaven, willforgive their sin and will healtheir land.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

You know we the Americanpeople, the ones that are theengine that runs this country,the working middle class, thecar salesman, the waitress, themilitary men and women, thetruck driver, the self em-ployed, small business owners,small family farmers and onand on, most of us feel thegreatness of this country isslipping away.

A few examples why:ObamaCare (you can keep

your doctor-period), CommonCore (government school con-trol of our children), illegal

immigration(this one is real-ly bad for us),religion (”InGod weTrust”… I likethis one), politi-cal correctness(if I don’t wantto bake yourcake, I’m suresomeone elsewill), EPA (kill-ing our coal

industry, small businesses andmore), you get the point. Weare told by our local and na-

tional government that theyknow what’s best for all of us,however I’m pretty sure wealready know what’s best forus and our families. It’s none ofthe above.

Each election we’re told bythose running for a position ofpower in the government thatthey will “fight for us,” butonce we elect them, they don’tseem to hear us anymore. Mostlose the desire to help makeour lives better. They seem togrow distant. Once electedsometimes they come to publicmeetings and give reasons why

they can’t make good on thepromises they made to us.Sometimes we’re lucky and geta good politician, but they aretoo few and far between.

Now in a few months wewill need to make a choice fora new president. Republican orDemocrat, here we go again,all of them saying “they willfight for us.” I for one don’twant them to fight for me, ormy family. I want them to justdo their job which is to build astrong military to keep countrystrong and safe, secure theborder, let the free market

work on it’s own, get rid ofObamaCare and CommonCore. Yes we did fine withouteither of these before. I couldgo on but I know you get it.

Please vote this comingNovember, I know there arefew good ones in this race tochoose from, perfect no, butwho is. Hopefully they will bewhat we need to turn thingsaround and make the light ofour great country shine brightagain.

SHORT HOPS

Scott Springer and Nick RobbeCommunity Press staff

FELICITY - Though it maynot seem like it, this year’sversion of the Felicity-FranklinHigh School girls softball teamequaled last year’s regularseason win total with fourgames left on the menu.

However, the Lady Cardi-nals have played more andhave pretty much been aroundthe .500 mark most of the sea-son after a 4-1 start.

The key difference is losinga three-year starting pitcher inSandy Woodmansee, whostepped in admirably for four-year phenom, Montana Wear.In the circle for her seniorseason is Rachel McConnell,who was previously the team’scatcher.

The other difference isDonnie Hall has led the girlsthis season, with Rob Wearmoving on to watch his daugh-ter pitch her senior season atWright State. Hall has beenaround the program for 10years, so his knowledge of thepersonnel is second to none.

With the loss of severalveterans from last year’s tour-nament-tested group, Hall hashad to work in several newplayers.

“We had six starters leave,five graduated and one chosenot to play,” Hall said. “I’mstarting three freshmen andthree sophomores. Severalhave experience, not in highschool, but growing up theyhave played for awhile.”

As a result of the youth inthe field, the Lady Cardinalshave been susceptible to er-rors. McConnell hasn’t pitchedsince her freshman year, soshe’s had to relearn what it’slike to throw strikes as op-

posed to catching them.“Sometimes she has trouble

with location,” Hall said. “It’slocation within the strike zonethough.”

Hitting-wise, the Lady Car-dinals have routinely stung theball outside of running into hotpitchers at Georgetown andWilliamsburg. McConnell hitsthird in the lineup in order toget more plate appearances.The lone senior is hitting over.500 and junior outfielder Lau-ren Mitchell has also come upbig.

“She’s tearing the cover off

the ball,” Hall said. Freshman Madison Milton

is over .400 with the aluminumand Hall is hoping sophomoreSydney Jowers returns to herearly season ways. Either way,Jowers often finds a way onbase.

“She’s a ball magnet,” Hallsaid. “She’s been hit in severalconsecutive games.”

Catching McConnell is soph-omore Allison Sharp who hasmoved in from first base.Sharp has made her presenceknown on the field and with thebat for the Lady Cardinals.

“When she hits the ball, shehits it a mile,” Hall said. “She’sbeen hitting it well lately.”

Once McConnell graduates,Hall hopes to find his nextpitcher with the bulk of hisplayers gaining valuable varsi-ty experience at a young age.Madison Milton may be anoption and Hall is aware ofjunior high talent in the area.

With McConnell, the LadyCardinals will try to once againrise up and make a run. Lastyear’s 10-win team eventuallyfinished with 13 victories afterbeating Fayetteville Perry,

Seven Hills and CincinnatiCountry Day by a combinedtally of 22-0 in the postseason.

Felicity-Franklin previouslyentered the 2012 postseasonwith 10 wins and finished with13. If anything, the Lady Cardi-nals know what it’s like to sur-vive and advance.

“It all depends on the draw,”Hall said. “Nobody’s unbeat-able, but ‘Burg (Williamsburg)is in our draw. It all depends onwhat kind of seeding we get. Ithink we can compete. We cancompete with ‘Burg if we’re onour ‘A’ game.”

ness or related programand who demonstrateoutstanding potential intheir field are eligible.

The deadline to applyfor the club award is May15.

Applications may bedownloaded online at theZonta International web-site, www.zonta.org, orby contacting Scholar-ship Committee ChairGretchen Webb (Ander-son) via e-mail [email protected], ortelephone 513-233-2974.

Themoney may be used for

“Zonta believes edu-cation is the key to ad-vancement in the field ofbusiness, and the Jane M.Klausman ScholarshipProgram recognizeswomen for their businesspotential,” Zonta Club ofCincinnati PresidentConnie Kingsbury said.

“Zonta International hasawarded 441 JMK Schol-arships to women from50 countries since thescholarship was estab-lished in 1998.”

Women have madegreat strides in the pur-suit of education, careersand leadership roles theywere once denied; how-ever, women are stillmore likely to be pouringcoffee in global board-rooms than sitting on theboards. In 2011, womenheld only 16.1 percent ofboard seats at Fortune500 companies accordingto the 2011 Catalyst Cen-sus. The JMK Women inBusiness Scholarshipprogram helps womenpursue undergraduateand master’s degrees inbusiness management toovercome gender barri-ers from the classroom tothe boardroom.

This year, ClermontCounty hosted teamswhich were competing in

the Ohio state high schoolmock trial competition.This marks the 20th con-

secutive year that Cler-mont County has hostedone of the Ohio high school

district or regional mocktrial competitions.

The set-up for the highschool mock trial competi-tion is as follows: Teamscompete in a district com-petition. Teams that wintwo trials in the districtcompetition advance to aregional competition.Teams that win two trialsin the regional competitionadvance to the state com-petition. The teams keepcompeting at the statecompetition until there is achampionship round andone team then wins.

The winner of the statecompetition was OrangeHigh School from theCleveland area, which de-feated Dayton Early Col-lege in the championshipround. As the overall win-ner, Orange will competein the national high schoolmock trial competition inMay in Boise, Idaho.

High schools compet-ing in the Clermont Countydistrict competition wereAmelia, Batavia, EasternBrown, Fayetteville-Per-ry, Georgetown, Milford(two teams), Moeller (twoteams), North Adams,Reading (two teams), Wal-nut Hills (three teams),Western Brown and Wil-liamsburg.

High schools that won

two trials and advanced tothe state competition wereReading (two teams), Wal-nut Hills (two teams),Western Brown and Moell-er.

High schools compet-ing in the Clermont Countyregional competition wereElder (two teams), IndianHill (four teams), La Salle,McNicholas, Mother ofMercy, Oak Hills (twoteams), Reading (twoteams), Seven Hills, Sum-mit Country Day, Syca-more and Walnut Hills(two teams). High schoolsthat won two trials and ad-vanced to the state compe-tition were Indian Hill(four teams), Reading,McNicholas and Oak Hills.

The Ohio high schoolmock trial program helpsstudents to develop criti-cal thinking skills by ana-lyzing a problem and de-veloping arguments foreach side of it. It also pro-motes citizenship educa-tion and active participa-tion in democracy.

The 2016 Ohio highschool mock trial case in-volved a police officer whoshot a young man on theshoulder while on thescene of a suspectedarmed robbery. The casefocused on whether theuse of deadly force by the

officer was justified underthe Fourth Amendment tothe U.S. Constitution.

In the Ohio high schoolmock trial competition,students assume the rolesof witnesses and attorneysto present both sides of acase. Local judges and at-torneys volunteer theirtime and expertise to pre-side over and score themock trials.

The Ohio High SchoolMock Trial Program isOhio’s largest high schoolacademic competition andis among the largest highschool mock trial pro-grams in the nation. Thisyear, 376 teams competedin Ohio.

The Ohio High SchoolMock Trial Program issponsored by the OhioCenter for Law-RelatedEducation (OCLRE), a pri-vate non-profit, nonparti-san organization whosegoal is to improve societyby developing citizens em-powered with an under-standing of our democrat-ic system. OCLRE is spon-sored by the Ohio StateBar Association, The Su-preme Court of Ohio, theOhio Attorney General’sOffice, and the AmericanCivil Liberties Union ofOhio Foundation. The OhioHigh School Mock TrialProgram is made possiblein part by a grant from theOhio State Bar Founda-tion.

Howdy folks,Last weekend was a very busy one.

The Grants Farm and Greenhouses hadtheir annual open house at all three

green houses - one at thefarm on Bucktown Roadoff state Route 50, one onstate Route 131 aboveWilliams Corner and theother one at Milford.

The one at the farm,by 9 a.m. Saturday morn-ing people were lookingfor parking places. RuthAnn and I always volun-teered for Grants Farmand Greenhouse andwhen we had the timewould go and help re-

plant some of the plants. We alwaysenjoyed being there to help. The Grantsalways do so much for the community.They have about 17 greenhouses at thefarm. Their son Jason does the farmingwhile dad takes care of the greenhouses.

While I talked to Mike at the BoarsHead Bait Shop, I looked out the windowand by the carpenter shop there werethree hen turkeys and a big tom turkeystrutting his stuff and spreading hisfeathers. He was trying to interest oneof the hens, but they just walked theother direction and the tom wasn’t goingto give up but they all went to thewoods. He kept spreading his feathersand gobbling but so far to no avail.

I have never gotten interested inturkey hunting - only went one time. Iimagine the turkeys were watching meinstead of me watching them. I enjoywatching the tom spread his feathersand gobble. Ruth Ann and I always didour turkey hunting at Kroger.

Now back to last Saturday, the GrantSchool here in Bethel had their bigevent on Saturday. They had a ribboncutting ceremony at their new buildingat 3088 Angel Drive behind the McDon-ald’s in Bethel for the Adult Education

Campus. From noon to 4 p.m. they hadgames, booths, prizes and pony rides.From 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. they had the Sec-ond Annual Grant Cruise-In. Boy it wasgreat.

Then from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. they had aham and chicken dinner buffet and bygolly it was wonderful. This meal wasonly $5. They have this as an apprecia-tion to the community for supportingthe school. There are 15 different typesof programs the students can get aneducation in. The Bethel area is soblessed to have the schools for the stu-dents to get a good education. Well, allschools are doing their part to help stu-dents.

Now Mr. Chester he is doing fine.When I went to the Grants Farm bothSaturday and Sunday, he stayed in thehouse and when I got home he was stilllaying on my bed.

The garden is coming along - thewalls of water I put out the middle ofMarch and the tomatoes I put in April 1are blooming. These sure help get someearly ripe tomatoes. The Village Hard-ware in Bethel have the walls of water -they call them Kozy Koats now and theyare red. I have six of them.

I was tilling the raised beds and setsome red Romain lettuce in one raisedbed. We raised that lettuce a coupleyears ago and Ruth Ann sure loved itand so did I. You can get the lettuce atthe Grants, along with many otherplants.

The two hardware stores in Bethel -Bishops and Village Hardware - havedifferent kinds of plants to sell. I got acouple of tomato plants from the VillageHardware and they are blooming. Mydaughter always gets to pull the firstripe tomato in June.

Start your week by going to the houseof worship of your choice and praisingthe good Lord. God bless all... Morelater...

George Rooks is a retired park rang-er.

The garden is startingto bloom thanks to walls of water
