Goshen’s O’Dell tripletshead to three colleges

GOSHEN TOWNSHIP — Thisspring will be a triple celebra-tion for Goshen Township’sO’Dell family when Anna, De-rek and Emma graduate fromGoshen High School May 29 andbecome the first in their familyto go to college.

“Everyone at school is kid-ding me, ‘How many boxes ofKleenex are you taking to grad-uation?’’’ said proud mom Tere-sa O’Dell, who works as an aideat Goshen Middle School.

This fall will mark the firsttime in 13 years that the O’Delltriplets won’t be students at thesame school. After attending

Goshen Local Schools since kin-dergarten, the youngest O’Dellswill be heading off to three dif-ferent colleges. They’ll markthe occasion with a joint gradu-ation/18th birthday celebrationJune 20. The triplets have anolder brother, Troy, who’s 23.

“Our parents look like theymake really good money, butwhen you times everything theypay for by three, it adds up,”Emma said, echoing commentsfrom her siblings. “I don’t thinkthat my parents should pay formy education because it’s myresponsibility. It’s what I wantto do for the rest of my life.”

The New RichmondExempted Village SchoolDistrict is expecting bigsavings in its health anddental insurance costs af-ter pulling out of the Cler-mont County InsuranceConsortium and joiningthe larger SouthwesternOhio Educational Pur-chasing Council.

New Richmond spendsapproximately $3 milliona year for employeehealth and dental insur-ance and was facing an in-crease of 8 percent effec-tive July 1had it remainedin the Clermont CountyInsurance Consortiumwhich now includes allClermont County schooldistricts with the excep-tion of West Clermont,Milford and now NewRichmond.

“Health and dental in-surances represent thesecond largest expendi-ture for the district,” in-terim New Richmondtreasurer Mike Mowerysaid. “Our Board of Edu-cation and administrationdecided to have an inde-pendent insurance agentassess our situation.”

Mowery and Superin-tendent Adam Bird se-lected Horan Associatesto first review New Rich-mond’s data and subse-quently to seek bids fromadditional carriers andconsortiums for NewRichmond’s business.

“We had one bid come

in from another insuranceconsortium, the South-western Ohio EducationalPurchasing Council, thatprovided for a 7 percentdecrease in premiums,”Mowery said.

So instead of an in-crease of $240,000 in in-surance costs the districtwill realize a savings ofaround $200,000 in thecoming year. New Rich-mond had been part of theClermont County consor-tium for more than 25years.

“Within the next sever-al years we expect thesavings from this changeto amount to over $1 mil-lion from lower premiumprices,” Mowery said.

The decision to moveforward was made at aspecial school boardmeeting April 13 with thechange in coordinationwith certified and classi-fied employee bargainingunits.

Pat Donaldson,resident since 2009

When we were growing up (back in thedark ages as my kids say) we didn’t celebrateFather’s day with the hoopla like we do today,

but Mom did fix a special din-ner for our Dad.

He enjoyed his day by plant-ing zinnias and marigolds inthe tiny patch of earth on theleft side of the front steps ofour home.

Each year I plant zinniasand marigolds in the Biblesection of my herb garden nearthe Mary statute to honor myDad.

Now my husband, Frank, ismaking it easy for me on Dad’s day. He re-quested this moist almond pound cake alongwith one more thing: “Peace and quiet.”

The pound cake is a given, the peace and

quiet is debatable. And for all of our Dads inour community newspaper family, I hope youhave the best Father’s Day ever, filled withfamily, friends, and food.

Can you help?Recipe, menu needed from tearooms of

Savor Dad’s day with special recipesFrangipane/almond pound cake

A good keeper, covered, at room temperature. It sounds fancy - frangi-pane just means there’s almond in the cake.

1 cup butter, softened1 cup sugar3 eggs1 can, 12-1/2 oz., Solo almond filling (not almond paste)2 -1⁄4 cups all purpose flour2 teaspoons baking powder1⁄2 teaspoon salt1⁄4 cup milk

GlazeWhisk together:

1-1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar1⁄2 teaspoon almond extract or 2 teaspoons vanilla3-4 tablespoons milk

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour 10-inch tube pan or 12-cup Bundtpan. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beat-ing well after each. Mix in almond filling until blended. Whisk flour, bakingpowder, and salt together. Add to almond mixture alternately with milk,beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix until blended. Pour into pan.Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely onrack. Drizzle glaze on top.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen:It’s important to grease and flour the pan to prevent sticking. After you

grease the pan, toss in enough flour to coat bottom and sides. Shake excessout. Or use a baking spray containing flour.

Versatile spicy chimichurri sauce

A reader wanted a spicy chimichurri to serve on top of steaks for Father’sday. Rick Bayless and I did a class together and he made this chimichurri. Heused it as a marinade and sauce for shrimp. It was so good and versatile, too.Nice on chicken, fish and, you bet - steak! I’ve adapted it only slightly.

1/2 head garlic, cloves separated3 Jalapeno or Serano chilies1 bunch cilantro, tough lower stems removed1 bunch parsley, tough lower stems removed1/2 cup extra virgin olive oilSalt to taste3 tablespoons water or bit more if needed

Set a dry skillet over medium heat. Lay unpeeled garlic cloves and chiliesin pan. Roast, turning frequently, for about 10 minutes for chilies and 15 min-utes for garlic, or until soft and blotchy brown in spots. Let cool and slip skinsoff the garlic. Wearing gloves, pull stems off chilies and roughly chop (no needto remove seeds). Place in a food processor along with cilantro, parsley, oliveoil, and salt. Process until nearly smooth (it will be pasty). Stir in water. Tasteand adjust seasonings.

A publication of

In the May 27 edition of theCommunity Journal, a guestcolumnist pointed out my

strong com-mitment tobeing pro-lifeand a staunchsupporter ofSecondAmendmentrights. Bothare humanrights issues.

Every hu-man being hasa fundamentalright to life.

Every human being has a fun-damental right to self-defense.The Founding Fathers of ournation referred to these, andothers, as God-given and in-alienable rights.

He also seemed concernedthat I was only focused onthose human rights issues.

Primarily, I’m focused on slow-ing the growth of spending andreducing the rate of taxation.For example, I submitted abudget amendment to elim-inate the commercial activitiestax. No other tax increases orspending cuts were included. Itwas formulated by simplyslowing the growth rate instate spending.

When John Kasich was amember of Congress, he cre-ated the Kasich Budget. Thatstory inspired me. I thoughtthat I might someday createthe Becker Budget. That some-day is now. Gov. Kasich hasasked for alternatives. I’mproviding one.

I’m crafting legislation toslow the spending growth ofboth state and federal dollars.In summary, the major provi-sions of the Becker Budgetinclude:

» Slow (state only) spendinggrowth by $1.3 billion.

» Phase out (eliminate) in-come tax over five years.

» Slow all funds growth by$6.2 billion.

» Eliminate ObamacareMedicaid expansion.

» Defund Planned Parent-hood.

» Eliminate the Ohio mar-riage penalty.

» Expand indigent tort re-form.

» Prohibit double dipping(grandfather in current doubledippers).

In contrast, the budget billpassed by the Ohio House (HB64) includes Obamacare Medi-caid expansion and continuedfunding for Planned Parent-hood. It increases state spend-ing by 9.6 percent in 2016 com-pared to my 5.5 percent. TheHouse passed bill tacks on an

additional 3.9 percent in 2017compared to my 1.9 percent. Ivoted no.

The governor and generalassembly want to continuespending state dollars at triplethe inflation rate. When factor-ing in federal dollars, spendingis nearly quintuple the infla-tion rate. The people of Cler-mont County did not send meto Columbus to spend theirmoney faster than they canearn it.

The author also commentedthat the Ohio legislature shouldraise taxes to help the poor getout of poverty. There are manyneeds in the community. Addi-tional funding can sometimeshelp, but not always. Regard-less, I’m troubled by the con-cept of being generous withother people’s money. I’d muchrather see the religious, civic,and business community work

together to identify and solvecommunity problems. Theycan do it much more efficient-ly and effectively than govern-ment.

All too often, government isbetter at creating problemsrather than solving them. Thebigger the government, thebigger the problems created.

Reining in the budget is a top priority

Rep. JohnBeckerCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

We’ve been exposed to it ontelevision shows and through

other mediachannels. Wewatch andcan’t believethat anyonecan live in theconditionswhere homesare filled tocapacity; frontporches, ga-rages, base-ments, closets,

all stacked and filled to the top,often leaving only narrowpathways winding throughstacks of “stuff.”

The person who hoards goesfar beyond those persons weonce described as “pack rats.”

What some of the awarenesson television has done is alertus to a better understanding ofthe complexity of the issue andits link to mental illness. A

recent study found that, al-though the first signs of hoard-ing behavior are most commonin adolescence, the severityincreases with each decade oflife and is more prevalentamong older adults. As ouraging population rapidly in-creases, so will the number ofolder adults for whom hoard-ing is a way of life.

Experts in this area agreethat hoarding becomes a “dis-order” when there is an in-ordinate level of acquisition ofand failure to discard a largenumber of possessions; theliving space is so cluttered thatis no longer usable for its in-tended purpose, and whenthere is a functional statusconsequence, such as a personbeing unable to walk through aroom, bathe, cook or sleepunder normal circumstances.

Along with hoarding, otheractivities often co-exist such as

compulsive buying, an accu-mulation of “free” things (eventhose things collected fromothers’ trash); and a motivatingfactor, such as the “thrill” ofpurchasing items and thoughtthat they might miss an oppor-tunity for something they mayneed in the future.

Some evidence suggeststhat some persons with ahoarding disorder simply havedifficulty making decisions,planning and followingthrough with plans. For theseindividuals, behavioral therapycan be beneficial. Anothergroup is believed to sufferfrom Diogenes Syndrome, adisorder often characterizedby extreme self-neglect, do-mestic squalor, social with-drawal, apathy and compulsivehoarding of garbage, as well asbeing associated with obses-sive compulsive disorder(OCD), schizophrenia, demen-

tia and mood disorders.All of us have the right to

self-determine the way we live,but what happens when thehoarding becomes so severethat it puts that person andanyone living around them, atrisk for their safety. Furtherconsequences include the po-tential for a person’s eviction,health concerns and fire risks.

Social dysfunction can alsoinclude the hoarder neverallowing anyone to enter his/her home and adult childrenwho do not know how to handlethe situation, feeling the fam-ily member is on a downwardspiral and out of control. Fam-ily members may feelashamed, overwhelmed andeven disgusted. Many times,they believe the problem willbe solved with a dumpster anda dump truck. But this doesn’taddress the underlying psy-chological problem, and the

clean-up is just a temporarymeans to a resumption of thebehavior.

June 4 questionThe Ohio legislature is con-

sidering moving the state’s 2016primary back a week so that thestate has “more influence” inpresidential nominations. Is thisa good idea? Why or why not?

“Move the 2016 primaryback one week to enable ‘moreinfluence?’ In two words: whocares? National elections arewon or lost in the press, on TVand on the Internet. It simplydoes not matter which statehas the first primary or thelargest primary or the mostcontested primary. The onlythings that matter are whichcandidate has the most moneyin his or her coffers and howvideo friendly are their faceand their ability to read aspeech off of the teleprompter.Nail down the money and reada speech like a well oiled actorand even a minimally effec-tive community organizer canbecome president of the Unit-ed States. Scary and sad, buttrue.”

M.J.F.

“I’m not enough of a ‘mar-keter’ to really understand thismove. Since all of the partiesare primarily more worriedabout ‘press impact,’ a sadnote, to me, I’ll leave the wis-dom of the move to the ‘politi-

cal experts’ who rely on the lat-est polls rather than worryingabout whether the voters un-derstand issues. It seems a lit-tle arrogant, but perceptive,that most eligible voters won’tlook at issues or problems,only the press release.”

D.B.

“I would love it if all stateprimaries were done at thesame exact time. This wouldalso help cut down on the polit-ical commercials or at leasttheir time frame duration.Thank goodness for DVRs andcable stations. For extra creditonly allow absentee mail inballots to cut expenses. Go Fig-ure!”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat should Cincinnati cityleaders and residents do tocurtail the recent trends ofgun-related crimes in the city?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers [email protected] withCh@troom in the subject line.

Rowing is a great teamsport that is relatively easy tolearn, but hard work to per-form. It’s considered to besafer than contact sports, butrowers are at risk for a uniqueset of injuries that can be easi-ly treated if caught early.

Top reasons for injuriesRowing injuries often result

from overuse. The rower usesthe entire body for the stroke.The repetitive motion of row-ing stresses the joints andbones, which can cause irrita-tion and inflammation if notproperly addressed. Whenthere are many practices andcompetitions without enoughtime in between events forhealing and rest, an overuseinjury may develop.

Poor rowing mechanics canalso cause injury and pain.Injuries occur when the athleteis not using the proper tech-nique to perform the stroke.The lower back, the shoulder,the hips, the ribs and the wristsare the most commonly affect-ed areas.

PreventionCorrect rowing technique

makes all the difference with

preventinginjury. The rowing stroke is arepeated cycle that starts withthe rower in a seated positionwith the legs bent and elbowsstraight. The next phase isknees fully extended (straight)and elbows bent with the oarhandle drawn into the body.This should be one fluid strokeusing the entire body in se-quence.

The most important thing toremember in the stroke is thatthe legs are the driving force.Neither the arms nor backshould be used for power. Thelegs are the force in the rowingstroke, the back stabilizes, andthe hips continue the motion ofthe legs. The arms use mo-mentum to pull the oar into thebody.

Back pain is very commondue to the motion of the sport.

Using the proper technique isextremely important alongwith proper strength. A rowerwould be wise to engage in acore-strengthening program toteach the body the stability andconditioning required for thisdemanding sport.

Other areas to keep in mindare the ribs and torso. The ribsundergo stress with eachstroke and a stress fracture,which is a fracture of overuse,is common to rowers who trainand compete often. The goodnews is that most of the time,rib and torso pain is due to amuscle spasm or strain whichcan be resolved with rest, re-habilitation, and time.

To keep up with the de-mands of rowing, the athletemust take in enough caloriesfor performance and consumeenough liquid to stay hydrated.

Youth rowers at risk for uniqueset of injuries

BETHELJOURNALEditor: Melanie Laughman, [email protected], 513-248-7573

BETHEL — Dave Schellen-berger said it was 1979 when Be-thel-Tate last won a league trackchampionship. For those whostill remember “MemoryLane,” that was the year the“Dukes of Hazzard” debuted(on TV, not the movie) and Mc-Donald’s sold the first HappyMeal.

The Tigers took the SouthernBuckeye Conference-NationalDivision meet in May with sev-eral performers becomingleague champions. Jason Alt-mayer won the 200 meters,Jackson Coates, the 1,600; AdamShinkle, the 300 hurdles; andJake Robinson, the long jump.

Bethel-Tate’s 4x200 (AllanHaave, Jay Baker, Altmayer,Robinson) also won, as did the4x400 (Haave, Evan Iding, Aus-tin Hile, Shinkle). The Tigerseventually outscored Blanches-ter by 30 for the title.

The honor gave Schellen-berger Coach of the Year hon-ors and seven Tigers madeSBAAC-National first team:seniors Altmayer, Baker,Haave, Hile, Robinson and Shin-kle, plus junior Iding and fresh-man Coates.

“The guys had to do otherevents to try to help win theleague,” Schellenberger said.“Everybody had to do their partin order for it to happen.”

Bethel-Tate went on to finishseventh at the Division II dis-trict meet at New RichmondMay 23. Evan Iding was third inthe 400 meters at 50.97; the Ti-gers were third in the 4x100(Haave, Austin Carter, Robin-son, Altmayer) relay at 45.12and third in the 4x200 (Haave,Altmayer, Robinson, Baker) at1:32.39. All qualified for the re-

gional meet.At Dayton, the 4x200 relay

finished ninth in the prelims at1:32.23, just missing qualifyingfor the final. In the 4x100, theywere at 45.28 in 14th place in theprelim. In the 400, Iding was12th in the prelim overall at51.61.

The Tigers broke theirschool record and the leaguerecord in the 4x200 despite notqualifying further.

“Two guys just passed us atthe finish line and nipped usout,” Schellenberger said. “Itwas really close. That wouldhave got us at least a medal.Then, they had to run right backwith the 4x100 and just didn’thave the legs. It was still prettyexciting.”

Last season, Jake Robinsonmade the state meet in the longjump, but he was unable to sur-pass the 21’ 7” he jumped at theSBAAC meet at the districtgathering. He finished fifth,one spot from advancing.

“He peaked about a weekearly,” Schellenberger said.“All of them peaked about aweek early.”

Next year, the Tigers willhave Evan Iding back, who set arecord in the 400, and promisingfreshmen Austin Carter andJackson Coates. Carter subbedon Bethel-Tate’s relays to helpget them qualified and Coateswas a league champion in hisfirst year in high school.

“He’s going to be somethingto watch over the next threeyears,” Schellenberger said.“He hurt his foot at the districtmeet.”

Next year, the veteran coachexpects the boys and girlsteams to be young and inexperi-enced. He’s hoping for in-creased interest from theeighth-graders.

Schellenberger now has acouple months off until Bethel-Tate’s soccer season begins.Just as the school has multi-pur-pose athletes, they have a multi-

purpose coach who had the rareaccomplishment of winningleague titles in two separatesports in 2014-15.

“I was really blessed this

year,” Schellenberger said. “Itwas pretty special. We also wonthe all-sports trophy for thefirst time in school history. I’dlike to thank my soccer boysand the track boys for that.”

Schellenberger earnedCoach of the Year honors forsoccer and Public School Coachof the Year in Division III intrack, in addition to his SBAACtrack honors.

At the Division III districtmeet at New Richmond May 23,Felicity-Franklin’s Kyle Lou-derback was second in the highjump at 5’ 8” to qualify for theregional meet. The junior alsowon the SBAAC-National highjump with a leap of 5’ 8”.

Louderback jumped 5’ 10” atTroy for ninth place, just miss-ing the regional podium. Hemissed three attempts at 6’. Thewinning jump overall was 6’ 4”.

SIDELINES

COLUMBUS — McNicholas’boys track and field team fea-tured only two seniors, Will All-geier and Jordan Musselman,on its 25-man roster.

With the amount of under-classmen on the roster, it onlymade sense for the coachingstaff to lean heavily on the sen-iors they had.

“He was huge for the guys onthis young, but improving ros-ter,” McNick coach Kyle Jepsonsaid of Allgeier’s leadership.“He set a standard for what canbe achieved.”

Allgeier, who according toJepson, scored in every meetthis season, finished 14th in the

shot put in the Division II statechampionship meet June 5 atJesse Owens Memorial Stadi-um. His last throw of 48 feet, 111⁄4inches was his best of the day.

“I threw the second farthestthrow (of my career), so I waspretty content with the day,”Allgeier said via email. “I was alittle worried after my firstthrow but I kept improving.”

Allgeier did finish ahead ofFenwick’s Sean Sherman, whowas ahead of him in the region-al.

He qualified for the statemeet by finishing third in thatregional with a throw of 50’5.51⁄2,” a new school record.

He admitted there weretimes this season where hecould have pushed a little hard-

er, something all athletes strug-gle with, and could have had bet-ter technique at the state meet.

By and large, however, hesaid there wasn’t much he wouldchange about his experiences atthe state meet or his career.

In particular, he enjoyed thetournament atmosphere – “a lotof moving around, clapping,noise,” he said.

He also enjoyed seeing Unio-to’s Trevor Detillion and ZaneTrace’s Walt Petzel push eachother to do their best.

“This is something that isneeded at every meet because itgets you going,” he said. “Mysenior year has already been in-credible and going out with abang like this is very emotion-al.”

Howdy folks. Therewill be a flag retirementprogram at 1 p.m. Sun-day, June 14, at UnionTownship Veterans Me-morial Park at the cornerby the helicopter. Theveterans have a specialceremony for this pro-gram honoring the Amer-ican flag.

The American CancerSociety Relay for Life ofClermont County will befrom 3 p.m. to 6 a.m.June 13 and June 14 at theVeterans Memorial Park.At the opening ceremonyduring the relay event,participants and survi-vors celebrate what theyhave overcome. In theclosing ceremony, theyremember loved onesthat have been lost to thedisease. That is the dis-ease that took Ruth Annfrom me. Someday I willbe there with her and mydad and mother and herdad and mother.

I had a treat last Mon-day. The Kinners invitedme to come to their housefor lunch. Then they tookme to see the animalstheir young kids aretaking care of. Some ofthe animals will be incompetition at the fair.That is good for theyoung folks to learn totake care of animals andhow to show them. TheseKinner kids also knowhow to raise a garden andto take care of honeybees. Their dad andmother are to be thankedfor helping the childrendo this.

About Chester, at

night afterhe comesin he likesto lay byme withmy handout so hecan lay onit. When Isit in mychair hewants to

lay on my lap. The otherday the phone rang so Igot up to answer it. Helaid in my chair so whenI was done talking on thephone I sat in Ruth Ann’schair. Here he comes tolay on my lap. I wouldsay he is spoiled, wouldyou? But he is! When hisdry food gets low in hisbowl he doesn’t like it sohe lets me know his foodneeds to be filled.

The cucumbers I putin the hanging basketsare sure growing alongwith the rest of the gar-den. Also the weeds! Itwill be a couple weeksbefore I can hoe the gar-den.

May 28 was RuthAnn’s birthday. It was asad day. We never knowwhen the Lord will call ushome, do we.

There was a programon television about theloss of honey bees. Theyare still trying to deter-mine what causes it.White winter honeybeecolony losses were downand summer bees rose,bringing the total annuallosses to 42.1 percent.This is second highestannual lost recorded todate. We need those hon-

eybees to pollinate thefruits and vegetables. Itis estimated that hon-eybees add between $15billion and $18 billion tothe value of agricultureeach year

Was talking to Mike atthe Boars Head at Aftonand he said the crappietournament last Sundaywas good. The fishermancan weigh in seven crap-pie. The first place wasfive pounds, eightounces; second-place 5-4,third-place 5-2. The bigcrappie was 11/4 pounds.There were 10 boats inthe tournament. The

fishermen were sayingthe price of gasoline washurting minnows, lastyear cost $1.19 per dozen.This year minnows are$2.19 per dozen.

I called Cedar Lakebelow Goshen on stateRoute 28. They are hav-ing some big catfishcaught, 40 pound, 50pound, 63 pounds. Onefellar caught an albinoblue cat that weighed 34pounds. On Fathers Daythey have a drawing andgive away a rod and reelso get over there andcatch some big fish.

Sherry’s Lake is hav-

ing good catches also.Several in the 48 poundclass. These are shov-elhead catfish so stop atall these lakes and catchsome big fish. Good luck!

Start your week bygoing to the house ofworship of your choiceand praising the goodLord.
