Art teachers Meggie Bier- kan of Bethel-Tate High School and Shauna Wilson of Bick Pri- mary School May 20 shared with school board members drawings created by their stu- dents. “I love to collaborate,” Wil- son said. “I think it’s a good thing for buildings to work to- gether.” Wilson and Bierkan talked throughout the school year about doing a joint project be- tween the schools, Wilson said. The idea began to take shape around December, and by early April students began the pro- ject. For the first- and second- grade students, the project started with a discussion about their fears of monsters, Wilson said. After reading funny stories about monsters, students were encouraged to draw their own monsters using oil pastels. Wil- son then selected 27 drawings and gave them to Bierkan to dis- tribute to the high school stu- dents. The older students also dis- cussed monsters and fears, Bierkan said. They watched the movie “Monsters, Inc.” while sketching and taking notes. After turning the movie off, Bierkan instructed her stu- dents to draw the character Sul- ly. Many of the students were hesitant to draw without refer- ence, for fear of inaccuracy or not meeting expectations, she said. Bierkan then gave the high schoolers the drawings created by the elementary students. She told them each to draw monster to go along with the existing one. The older students were not allowed to change the mon- sters drawn by their co-cre- ators, she said. “They had to maintain that integrity of the artwork of that young artist, which was very neat to watch,” Bierkan said. The high school students worked with the elementary students to come up with char- acter roles for the monsters and portray their interactions through the illustrations, she said. “(The high schoolers) had to write about it, they had to de- sign it, they had to sketch it,” Bierkan said. Students then used a medi- um of their choice to create movie posters featuring the monsters, she said. They used media including charcoal, col- ored pencils, paint, markers, crayons and oil pastels. Because the elementary stu- dents only have art class once a week, it was a challenge to make sure their work was complete within the allotted time, Wilson said. The first- and second- graders also had to show up to school early to meet and work with their “art buddies.” Despite the difficulties, most parents were accommodating, and the project got done, Wilson said. “I think the parents were just as excited as I was,” she said. The interaction with the high schoolers gave the younger stu- dents a sense of accomplish- ment and pride, she said. “(It was) the beginning of a great collaboration,” Bierkan said. Wilson said she and Bierkan are considering doing another collaborative project next school year.

The Moving Ohio Forward grant program was established by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine in February 2012 after the national mortgage settle- ment. The program provides counties throughout Ohio with a total of $75 million to demol- ish foreclosed and abandoned homes, said Dan Tierney, spokesman for the attorney general. “(DeWine) decided the way he wanted to make a difference was to eliminate blight caused by abandoned homes,” Tierney said. “(After the mortgage cri- sis), people left in neighbor- hoods experienced a decrease in their property value. Others experienced (houses that were) turned into sites of crime and safety hazards to the com- munity.” If some of those problem spots were demolished, indi- vidual communities could be better off, he said. “It’s a good program and there’s money out there,” said Travis Dotson, village adminis- trator. “We should capitalize on it.” At the village’s regular May 23 meeting, Dotson encour- aged council members to spread the word about the pro- gram. “Grant funds must be used by the end of the year,” he said. “I’ve had one interested prop- erty owner contact me (so far).” The only requirement for the program is the property had to be residential at one point, and local governments must gain control of the proper- ty’s title, said Alison Goebel, as- sociate director of the Greater Ohio Policy Center. “(The attorney general) left it up to local communities how the money would be spent, de- termining which properties were high priorities for them,” Goebel said.

would require matchinglocal funds.

“The attorney generalwanted this to be amatch-inggrantprogramtomax-imizegrant dollars, but healso understood differentcounties have differentresources,” Tierney said.

“So the first $500,000 ofgrantmoneywouldnot re-quire a (local) match. It’sdesigned to maximize theefficiency of the grantfunds.”

Dotson said he will beworking to contact own-ers of houses and struc-tures that are “beyond thepoint of repair” to obtainauthorization from themapply for the grant pro-gram.

said.One of the reasons con-

struction has not alreadybegun is cable lines fromCincinnati Bell and TimeWarner Cable that crossover the bridge.

“All overhead utilitieshad to be relocated so thatthat the new bridge couldbe lowered into position,”Dotson said. “We’re work-

ing on those lines. Oncethey are gonewe should beready to start.”

Jeremiah Hembree, acouncil member who over-seas a safety committee,said the bridge project hasbeen “in the works for awhile.”

“It’s just typical aginginfrastructure, needing tomake sure the guard railswere safe and things likethat,” he said. “Just likeanything else, (it has seen)a lot of use over a lot ofyears.”

Hembree said the vil-lage is constantly trying toupgrade its infrastructure.

“We’ve been doing re-surfacing and repavingthroughmuchofthevillageon a need basis,” he said.“It’s been part of an ongo-ing effort to make repairsthroughout (the village)when funds and resourcesbecome available.”

TOURNAMENTHIGHLIGHTS

By Scott [email protected]

BETHEL— Inanaverageroundofgolf,there’s often multiple references togolf’s elite. You might easily hear some-one refer to Tiger Woods or Phil Mickel-son at any of elite club or hacker’s goatpath.

Should the foursome be older, therecould be an utterance of Nicklaus orPalmer.

If you’re fortunate enough to have acaddy, thementionofChickEvanssuper-sedes Woods, Mickelson, Nicklaus andPalmer.

While caddies often make generoustips and learn creative uses of the Eng-lish language, there is a scholarship fundset up for the “best of the best” at theircraft.

Currently, 835 caddies are enrolled incolleges across the country as EvansScholars, including 60 at Ohio State and47 atMiami University.

The program was founded by a Chi-cago amateur golfer named Charles“Chick” Evans Jr. Funds come from con-tributions by golfers across the country,who are members of the WGA EvansScholarsParClub. There are also alumnidonations and all proceeds from theBMW Championship in the PGA Tour’sFedEx Cup competition are donated toEvans Scholars.

Thescholarshipsarevaluedat$70,000for four years of tuition and housing.

One of 23 awarded in the state of OhioandjustninefromtheCincinnatiareabe-longs to Bethel-Tate’s Tyler Hauck, athree-year caddy at ColdstreamCountryClub in Anderson Township.

“It’s incredible to get that,” Haucksaid. “It’s a life changer.”

The selection process is stringent andtedious.

“Only the candidates with the highestqualifications, who experience signifi-cant financial need, are awarded EvansScholarships,” said Joe Desch, WGA Di-rector in Ohio and an Evans ScholarAluminarecentreleaseannouncingwin-ners.

According to Hauck, one must be agoodcaddy for twoyears andhavebeex-cellent academics.

His skills on the golf course and skillsin theclassroom(3.9GPA)earnedhiman

invite toaselectgatheringataclubhousein Cleveland.

“You have to be nominated by yourcountry club,” Hauck said. “Then youhave towrite abig essayand fill out all ofthis paperwork. The committee picks fi-nalists from each state. You have to talkin front of hundreds of people to see ifyou get your scholarship or not.”

Whatever speech Hauck delivered inthatnorthernOhioclubhouseearnedhima special delivery from the Post Office;notification of an Evans Scholarship toOhio State.

The news immediately turned Hauckfrom a Southeastern Conference fan toan avid supporter of the Big10.

“Ifyouwould’veaskedmejunioryear,I would’ve said there’s no way I’d be go-ing to Ohio State.,” he said. “I’m a big

Kentucky Wildcats fan. As soon as I gotmy letter, I was an instant Buckeye fan.”

With his attention turned from “BigBlue” to “Scarlet and Gray,” Hauckhopes to visit the championship coursesthat host the Ohio high school tourna-menteachfall. Inadditionto totingclubs,he’s swung them since age six.

“I’ll be bringing my golf clubs, that’sfor sure,” the three-year member of Be-thel-Tate’s golf squad said.

Sometime in mid-August, Hauck willload up and head to the campus along theOlentangy where he will be studyingearth science, geology and hydrology.

In themeantime,youcancatchHauckcarrying clubs and offering up shot anddistance advice at Coldstream most ofthesummer.Inthemiddleoftheweek,hegets a few test drives.

“It’s a fantastic course,” Hauck said.“OnWednesdaymornings we can play.”

Hauck now becomes the second Be-thel-TateTiger tobehonoredasanEvansScholar. Kyle Chaney earned one to Mi-amiUniversity in 2009. He has since hadto answer many of the same questionsChaney did with his northern counter-parts.

“A bunch of people ask me, ‘Bethelwhere?’” Hauck said.

On the day The Community Press ar-rived at Coldstream to take Hauck’s pic-ture, thehigh-achievingkidfrom“Bethelwhere?” was found at the first tee.

Summer presents unique health issuesThe school year is over, and

we are all looking forward tothe summer. Even though thisis a time for vacation and wor-ry-free relaxation there aresome health issues we need tokeep in mind.

Spending time outside iswhat we like to do in the sum-mer. Whether it be swimming,fishing, camping or just playingaround. When doing this, weneed to remember a few basicrules. Sunshine is good for us.It improves our mood and helpsour body produce vitamin D.Toomuch sunshine can causedamage. Make sure you apply

sunscreenwhen outsidefor long peri-ods of time. Ifyou’re outswimming orfishing, re-member thewater reflectsthe sun’s rays.You’re exposedto radiation

both from above and from thewater. Also, protect your eyesby wearing appropriate sun-glasses if needed.

Hot weather is also an in-tegral part of the summer.

Drinking fluids (not includingalcohol) is necessary to preventdehydration. Also, cool off toprevent heat stroke. Saying allthis, I do not recommend in-creasing the amount of sodaconsumed. Those carry extracalories with them andmaycause you to gain weight.

Themosquitoes should behere pretty soon. Except forbeing bothersome and causingitching, they sometimes carrydiseases likeWest Nile Virus.Last yearWest Nile infectioncaused 121people to be ill inOhio, including seven deaths.Applying amosquito repellent

can save you itches and wor-ries. Most mosquitoes don’tcarry any infectious diseases,so you don’t have to call yourphysician with every itchy bite.

Lyme disease is anotherdisease transmitted by insects.It is passed by the deer tick andoccurs mainly in the summer.Most ticks are not infected. Ifyou’ve been out in the woodscheck the body for ticks. Ittakes about 48 hours for thetick to transmit the disease.Because of that, there is noneed to start antibiotics everytime you find a tick on yourchild. Also, it’s important to

remember that deer ticks aremuch smaller than dog ticks.

The next school year will behere before we’ll manage toenjoy the summer. It’s impor-tant to remember that childrenstarting kindergarten or goingto seventh-grade are now re-quired to have immunizations.Remember to make the ap-pointments before the summeris over, so you don’t have tofrantically call your physicianon the first day of the newschool year.

Unions are an integral partof contemporary free society.

Well-organized union workhas given us the 40-hour workweek, the weekend, Labor Day,safety laws and health lawsamong other enhancements.The so-called “right to work”(or SCRTW) is a referendabetween choosing to work in aunionized business or agency,or being stripped of workplacerights that protect people andfurther freedom.

SCRTW law prohibits agree-ments between labor unionsand employers that govern theextent to which an establishedunion can require employees’membership, payment of uniondues, or fees as a condition ofemployment, either before orafter hiring. Under the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947, people arealready able to not join a union,but pay only for the servicesthat they use. SCRTW lawpresents an obvious unionfreeloader dilemma as well asa host of other undesirable ills.

States with SCRTW lawshave a 51-percent higher fatal-ity rate, fewer people withhealth insurance and lowerpensions than non-SCRTWstates. The workplace fatality

rate is 36 per-cent higher inSCRTW states.SCRTW isunsafe, unfairand hurtsacross Amer-ica: Six out of10 of the high-est unemploy-ment rates areSCRTW states,

and annual incomes are $6,437per household less in SCRTWstates. More and more citizensare becoming aware and as-sertive about the obstacles thatSCRTW presents to wellbeing.

Unions function as acounterweight to multi-nation-al corporate interest in democ-racies. In some countries, theyare more welcome than inothers; for instance, in the late1970s, Iran allowed the cre-ation of unions, but activitieswere restrained and hardlyeffective due to the onset oftheocracy. In free democra-cies, unions are fully wel-comed. The debate aboutunions is being settled by peo-ple that recognize freedom hasto be won again and again byprotecting our rights in ourdemocracy. SCRTW is essen-

tially working without rightsfor less.

No means no: the people ofOhio have spoken on this issue,and there is no place for anti-union measures in our statenow or in the future. Replacingour local legislator with anactual democratist representa-tive of peoples’ wellbeing iscritical to protecting ourrights. For unions and theSCRTW law, the friction con-trasts a higher freedomagainst lesser hedonism.

It’s time to bury those spe-cial interests and so-calledright-to-work legislators be-neath the full democraticweight of society and constitu-ent mail, and obliterate thesystemic disaster of excep-tions for corporations. In thistime of May, the beginning of aplural victory for civic qualityand freedom by union andnon-union members dependson us all. Contact your press,friends and colleagues to letthem know the decision we asOhioans face before we areSCRTW, and to know that weshould support officials whooppose SCRTW.

Thanks to one of my bestfriends at church, I attendedmy 50th Bethel-Tate HighSchool alumni dinner for thefirst time this year. It turnedout to be one of my best deci-sions, ever.

For years, I refused to go toreunions for a lot of differentreasons that were valid to me.My husband and I didn’t feellike we fit in with normal peo-ple. The two of us were frombroken homes and had to liveon the hated welfare system.When we got married, we weredetermined to make our mar-riage work because so manypeople said that it wouldn’t.When others broke up, westayed together and rearedfour children. Unfortunately, itonly lasted 47 years becauseJimmy died two years ago. Iam lost without him.

Getting back to the reunion,my friend SueMattes startedtalking to me a year before the50th reunion ever started. Shepointed out to me that I wasjust as good as the rest of thekids who graduated with us. Ididn’t think I was. I still feltlike that poor girl who didn’tparticipate in school because Iwas always broke.

After talking to me for overa year, she succeeded in con-vincing me to go. I submitted

my story toanother girl inour class,Sandy Harri-son, who madea wonderfulbook that in-cluded all ourstories. Thebook was whatbrought us alltogether. It notonly included

all our stories, it had a memori-al page honoring those whodied since graduation. She alsoincluded the pictures of thosewho didn’t send a picture. It isreally a good book.

At the alumni dinner andpicnic (a big thanks to PaulaBagby Ford for a great picnic)on Saturday and Sunday, manyof my old classmates came upto me and told me how gladthey were to see me again.Everyone was wonderful eventhough I hadn’t participated inany sports, cheerleading, tripsor go to dances - I just didn’thave the money. When theystarted talking about theirgrandchildren and jobs, I fitright in.

We all struggled. Somestruggled to stay married,some with health problems,others struggled with no mon-ey. Some of them lost children

and parents, too. It was so goodto hear that so many turned tothe Lord. They are now servingLord like I do. Now I know itdoesn’t matter about our socialstatus - the Lord is the greatequalizer.

Last week’s question“Do you think Congress

should approve the bill thatwould allow the nation’s11mil-lion unauthorized immigrantsto apply for U.S. citizenship,while also providing significantnew investments in border se-curity? Why or why not?

“NO!!! And, that is a bogusnumber, the actual number isabout three times that large.UScitizens first! Illegal alienslater, much later!”

J.G.

“Before I evenconsider thequestion, I have to wonder ...howonearthdid11million ille-gals get into this country?ELEVENMILLION?

“If the government hasdone such a poor job of secur-ing our borders one has towonder how they will imple-ment ANY laws to correctthis.

“My true opinion is that weshould deport every one ofthem and allow them to applyfor admission to this countrylike they should have done inthe first place. But since thatwill never happen, I guess thenext best thing is to allowthem to apply and then weedout the criminals and sendthose people back to wherethey came from, no excuses.

“What’s sad is that immi-grants are the backbone ofthis country. Every one of uswere immigrants, whetherthis generation or somewherelong ago. However, my ances-tors applied and waited theirturn, and so should everyoneelse.

“This open door policy hasput this country in grave dan-ger.”

J.K.

“Absolutely not! To rewardcriminals by waiving punish-ment and granting them am-nesty is totally wrong.

“It’sespeciallyunfair to themany people who have fol-lowed the rules and have ap-plied for and are waiting forcitizenship. The citizenshipprocess should strengthen theU.S. by allowing qualified anddesirable immigrants citizen-ship and not reward illegalaliens who broke the law bysneaking intoandhiding in thecountry.

“The first stepof any immi-gration policy should be to se-cure the borders.”

P.C.

“Nope. Illegal (not thepolit-ically correct word “unautho-rized”) means just that ... ille-gal.

“Those who break the law

should be punished like any-one else. They should beforced to go back home, butcould be offered the opportu-nity to come back in a legalmanner later.

“Border security should bea priority.Not only domany ofthese folks become a drain onlegal taxpayers in the form offree medical, welfare and So-cial Security payments, butmany of them will enter theU.S. just to have their babieshere so that they can collectfunds from highly taxedAmericans.

“I know for a fact that mydisabled veteran son getsabout one-third of what thesepeople can receive just forgiving birth within our bor-ders. Even legal visitors canget thismoney simply forhav-ing their babieswhile they arehere.

“Giveaways to non-citizensneed to stop.We can no longerafford to pay out this kind ofmoney when our injured sol-diers are suffering and legalcitizens are struggling to putfood on their tables.”

C.H.

“This nation is populatedalmost exclusively by immi-grants. In the short run, weshould address the problemeffectively, and the proposedlegislation sounds like a stepin the right direction.

“But in the long run, theUnitedStatesmust learnmoreabout assisting the economiesof nations which are thesource of disproportionatenumbers of immigrants, andwe must work harder to over-come the forces within ourborders and beyondwhich op-pose population education andcontrol.

“Otherwise this is a rear-guard action with no hope ofsuccess.”

N.F.

“No, I don’t think Congressshould allow 11 million illegalaliens to apply for citizenship.My wife is an immigrant andthis “amnesty” is a slap in theface to her and anyone elsethat’s gone through the legalimmigration process.”

Thanks to all of youwho stopped to chatwhile I was cooking upfun food with my friendand Price Hill Kroger

executivechef DebGouldingat theTaste ofCincinnati.This was anew venuefor Taste.We werein the P&Gpavilionsurround-

ed by upscale restau-rants offering amazingfood. Our demo featurednatural foods, includingDeb’s gazpacho withbasil crème fraiche andmy tabouleh. The stu-dents from our variousculinary schools helpedprepped our food for 150servings, and they did awonderful job, choppingand mincing ingredientsto perfection.

My family’stabouleh

This is the time ofyear I pick wild grapeleaves for scooping uptabouleh. You also canuse leaf lettuce. This is a“go to taste” recipe,wonderful as a main orside dish, or stuffed intopita for a sandwich. Ikeep tweaking the recipeand here’s my latest.Tabouleh uses bulghurcracked wheat (great forlowering cholesterol anda good source of fiber).Every family has theirown version. (Check outmy blog for the taboulehvideo).

1 cup bulghur crackedwheat, No. 2 grind

5medium tomatoes,chopped fine, skin left on

1bunch green onions, slicedthin, white and greenparts

1 bunch parsley, choppedfine

1 small bunch radishes,chopped fine (optional)

1 large English cucumber,chopped fine, skin left on

1bell pepper, chopped fineCumin to taste, start with 1teaspoon

Handful choppedmint andbasil (optional)

Salt and pepperOlive, corn or safflower oilto taste (start with 4tablespoons)

Lemon juice to taste

Place wheat in bowland rinse under coolwater three times. (Whythree times? Because mymom said so!). Leaveabout a 1⁄4 inch of waterafter the third rinse ontop of the wheat to soft-en it. Let sit for 15-20minutes, until water isabsorbed and wheat istender. Squeeze to drainany remaining liquid out.Meanwhile, mix vegeta-bles: Add all vegetablesin large bowl, mixinggently. Add cumin, mint,basil and salt and pep-per. Add wheat, and mixwell. Add oil, a little at atime, and mix. Taste forseasonings. Add lemonjuice to taste.

Tip from Rita’sKitchen

Be sure and buycracked wheat that alsosays “bulghur” on thelabel so that it reconsti-tutes in cool water easily.

Jungle Jim’s sells sever-al grinds. I like the No. 2grind.

Deb Goulding’sgazpacho with basilcrème fraiche

Deb’s recipe is on myblog at Cincinnati.Com/blogs.

Mashed potatocakes with garlic

Boiling potatoes intheir skins helps preventsogginess. The egg holdspotato mixture together.

1pound Yukon goldpotatoes, unpeeled

3 tablespoons butter,softened plus extra forfrying

1 teaspoonminced garlic orto taste (optional)

Palmful chopped parsley(optional)

Salt and pepper1 large egg, lightly beatenOil, about 1 tablespoon

Cover potatoes withcold water and cook untiltender. Drain and cooljust until they can behandled and peeled.While still warm, mashand stir in butter, garlic,parsley, salt and pepper.Then add egg, combiningwell. Form 1⁄2 cupfuls intofour four-inch cakes. (Ifyou want to chill for 30minutes or so before orafter forming patties,that is OK.). Add 3 table-spoons butter and oil toskillet over medium-lowheat. After butter quitsfoaming, add cakes andcook about 5 minutes oneach side, or until gold-en, adding more butter ifnecessary.

We’ve seen it foryears, companies call andoffer to come to yourhome and clean yourcarpets for a great price.

But what you receiveis not what you thoughtyou were getting. So,before you sign up, thereare several questions youneed to ask.

Maureen Cleary ofSpringfield Townshipreceived a call to cleanher carpets from a firmshe had used in the past,but which is now undernew ownership. Sheagreed to have themclean, but they didn’tshow up for the appoint-ment. They didn’t showup until several days

later.“They

just calledwhen theywere in thedrivewayand said,‘We’re hereto clean thecarpets.’ Isaid. ‘It’sSunday.’

But I had enough time tohave them clean the car-pet. I thought I’d ratherget it clean than have toreschedule,” Cleary said.

It cost her $93 for thecleaning, which she paidby check. But, the nextmorning Cleary foundproblems. “The spotswhere the carpet is not

dry, there are largebrown spots in variousplaces all around thecarpet,” she said.

Cleary called the com-pany; a technician cameout and tried, unsuccess-fully, to clean the spots byhand. Cleary said he thentold her, “Don’t worry, it’snot a problem.We can getthis out. I’ll be back onWednesday with thema-chine and I’ll have it tak-en care of. Don’t worryabout it; it’s going to comeout.”

Unfortunately, Clearysaid no one came back toget out the stains. Shecalled the company againand asked them to sendover the same people who

had successfully cleanedthe carpets in the past.But, she says, she got noresponse to that requesteither.

“They certainly didn’tclean the carpet. It’sworse than it ever was. Inever had stains like thison the carpet. There wereno stains, period ...They’re not taking care ofthis. They’re not answer-ing the phone. They’re notcommunicating. They’retaking no responsibilitywhatsoever,” Cleary said.

So I contacted thecarpet cleaning companyand, eventually, a tech-nician came back andre-cleaned the carpets.But Cleary said while

they look better, somespots remain and shewants her money back. Itold the company and itsnow agreed to refund hermoney and replace pad-ding so the spots dis-appear.

To protect yourselfwhen hiring a company todo work around yourhome, first get a copy ofthe firm’s liability insur-ance policy. Do that be-fore you hire them be-cause trying to get itlater, after there’s a prob-lem, can be difficult.Remember, you need tohave that policy so youcan file a claim if thecompany damages yourproperty.

In addition, when hir-ing a carpet cleaningcompany ask if it is pro-viding its own high volt-age electricity, or justplugging into your housecurrent. It should provideits own power in order todry your carpets properlyso such spot don’t appear.

Finally, don’t pay thecompany with a check.Instead, pay with a creditcard so you can disputethe charge if there’s aproblem.

A few years ago, alady called to thank usfor providing trans-portation for her father,who had recently passedaway. She said we tookhim to dialysis threedays a week for 10years. This lady workedfull-time and still hadchildren living at home.She could not afford toquit her job to take herfather to dialysis. Yet,without it he would die.Our service helped notonly the senior and hiswife, but his daughterand her family, and heremployer, too. This isonly one example of howcritical our services canbe to older adults, theirfamilies and the commu-nity.

Our staff does a great

job, butthey arealwayslookingfor waysto expandand im-proveservices,and assessthe needsof seniors.To help uswith this,

every year we ask ourcustomers to fill out asurvey to share theirthoughts about our ser-vices. Sometimes, thebest ideas come fromcustomers, their fam-ilies and people outsidethe agency. That’s whywe periodically holdpublic forums to gatherinput from the commu-

nity regarding the needsof seniors and partic-ularly input on servicesthat are now availableand those that are need-ed. If you would like toshare in this discussion,then please plan to at-tend this forum.

Cindy Gramke, CSSexecutive director, willbe on hand to shareinformation regardingservices for seniors. Butthe most important partof the forum is the timeset aside for olderadults, their familiesand the public to shareand discuss seniorneeds. We want to hear

from you about what isworking, how to im-prove and what needsare unmet.

The meeting is onTuesday, June 11, from 6p.m. to 8 p.m. at ourUnion Township Life-long Learning Center inthe Union TownshipCivic Center, 4350 Ai-choltz Road in the East-gate area. Enter throughthe left front door of thebuilding. Seating is lim-ited, so call ClermontSenior Services at 536-4021 to RSVP.

Howdy folks,I wrote before that we

thought a squirrel mighthave had babies in thebox on the Maple Tree.Well, by golly, there weretwo little ones. Last weekwe got another swarm ofhoney bees. It was a bigone. We have three hivesnow and would like to getone more. We thank thefolks where we got thebees.

Last week we wereplanting garden. RuthAnn had a lawn chair tosit and rest in. Her backbothers her some. Chessywould lay in the chair. Wehad the wheelbarrowthere. When Ruth Annwould set in the chair,Chessy would lay in thewheelbarrow. I was put-ting fence around theraised beds, Chessywould jump on the fence.When I moved the wheel-barrow, Chessy would goback to the chair. She isso much help. We werecutting asparagus andpicking strawberries.Chessy kept close to us.While we were weeding acouple of the raised beds,one of beets and one ofcarrots, we had helpfrom you know who? Shewould lay down and wewould have to move her.What a blessing she is.

Last Wednesday wewent to Felicity-Franklin

HighSchool fortheirawardsprogramfor thegraduatingstudents.Therewere acouplegirls that

were twins, Carley andSydney Snider, that got alot of awards. Therewere several studentsthat got awards and ourgrandson, Curtis, got anice award that will helpin his college studies. Wewere so proud of him, heis my “buddy.”

Last Friday afternoon,Ruth Ann and I met theBrown family at the OldBethel M.E. Church herein East Fork State Parkto clean and get it readyfor the Memorial DayService on Monday. TheBrown Family sure do asuper job of cleaning.They are a special familyand we sure think theyare wonderful.

Last Sunday at 3 p.m.we went to the Felicity-Franklin High School forthe graduation. Therewere 74 young peoplewho graduated and sev-eral will be going to col-lege. Our grandson Cur-tis has completed 22credit hours at UC Cler-

mont and will be goingthere again this fall.After the graduation, theroad in front of theschool was blocked byfolks taking pictures. Notraffic would drive thereuntil all pictures weretaken and the visitingwas completed. Then wewent out to Ralph andPauline’s home for thegraduation party. We areso proud of all our fam-ily.

On Memorial Day theservice at the Old BetelChurch was wonderful.There were about 60people there and themusic was furnished bythe Kinner Express.There were some specialsongs, one by the Whitefamily from Batavia.They have a church there

in Batavia and Kenny isthe minister. And healong with his wife, Cin-dy, and their two daugh-ters played and sang. TheCook’s daughter, Sherry,sang and played somespecial music, and theHannah’s granddaughtersang some special songs,too. This whole servicewas special to Ruth Annand me, along with thewhole community. TheKinner Express play forthe senior citizens atdifferent times, too, anddo so much for the com-munity. This fall in Sep-tember, probably the29th, now the date is notset in stone, yet, will bethe homecoming serviceat the old church, and theKinner Express will beback. There will be cook-

ies and refreshments onthe lawn and time forvisiting. The AmericanLegion from Bethel, thenhad a service in the cem-etery there by the churchat 11 a.m. They werejoined by the Boy Scoutsand American HeritageGirls. After the legioncompleted this service,they went down to thebeach to hold anotherceremony for the veter-ans who were lost at sea.They have been doingthis for several years.Before the service at thechurch starts, Mr. JimBrown rings the churchbell. This is to let folksknow it is time to startand in honor of Mr.George Slade, who al-ways rang the bell. MissyBrown, had looked up the

history of Memorial Day,used to be called Deco-ration Day, and herdaughter, Sarah, read it.This was very interestingand folks sure enjoyedthe reading and the histo-ry. Of course we had theHistorian Rick Crawfordgive a few facts aboutClermont County veter-ans. The church serviceand legion service weresure great. Everyoneenjoyed the cookies theBrown and Hannah fam-ilies had made and thetime of fellowship toreminisce about the pasttimes. Thanks to theBennets.
