Fifth Annual ‘Ridin for Wojo’ scheduled for Sept. 13Community Press staff report

UNION TOWNSHIP—Amonthafter comic Robin Williamsmade headlines with his sui-cide, the Clermont County Sui-cide Prevention Coalition ishosting its 13th annual candle-light vigil to pay tribute to lovedones lost to suicide in the pastyear.

The Sept. 10 vigil in UnionTownship Veterans MemorialPark will feature a ceremoniallighting of candles, a balloon re-lease and a performance byWest Clermont By-Requestchoir.

During 2013, ClermontCoun-ty lost 31 residents to suicide,said Lee Ann Watson, associatedirectorof theClermontCounty Mental Health & Recovery

Board, which is co-sponsoringthe vigil with the ClermontCounty Suicide Prevention Co-alition. So far this year, thatnumber stands at 18.

Warning signsmay include aloss of interest in activities pre-viously enjoyed, an increase inisolation, the giving away ofpossessions, loss of relation-ships, a history of depressionand/or alcohol and substanceabuse, impulsive or aggressivetendencies and a family historyof suicides.

This will mark the secondyear that Mt. Orab resident Ta-

ressa Ingle has attended Cler-mont County’s vigil.

“I was coming home from asupport group meeting when Iheard thenewsaboutRobinWil-liams,” said Ingle, who previ-ously struggled with suicidaltendencies and whose youngestbrother, Danny Braun, a With-amsville native and Air Forceveteran, took his life at age 27last year. “It just tore my heart.I think it shows that suicide canhappen to anybody.”

Suicide is the 10th leadingcause of death in the U.S., saidIngle, who is involved with theAmerican Foundation of Sui-

cidePrevention.Of the105dailysuicides, 22 are veterans.

Ingle’sbrother,Danny,who’dbeen honorably dischargedfrom the Air Force after serv-ingmore thannine years, strug-gled with PTSD, anxiety and bi-polar disorder. He also had atraumatic brain injury after aHumvee accident.

Afterayearofdenialandonesuicide attempt, Braun, who’dstruggled with intense night-mares, daily flashbacks and de-pression, sought treatmentthrough the VA in Alaska. How-ever, he soon stopped takingcare of himself, and he wasn’tgettingthetreatmentsandmed-icationheneededbecausehere-fused to go to the doctor.

Despite everyone’s efforts,Braun took his life on May 15,2013, leaving his devastatedfamily to deal with the guilt, an-ger, heartache andgrief, his sis-ter said.

“Having attempted it in thepast myself, I never dreamedsuicide would have such an im-pact on those left behind,” Inglesaid. “I believe Danny’s spiritlives on through his family,friends andmeby our efforts tohelp raise awareness and tohelp prevent other suicides.”

Clermont County has16,156 military veteransliving there, but the Cler-mont County VeteransService Commissiondoesn’t have a breakdownof how many served inIraq.

“The newer veteransgetting out sometimesdon’t realize that this bo-nus exists,” said Howard

Daugherty, executive di-rector of the ClermontCounty Veterans ServiceCommission.

Ohio voters approvedthe bonus in 2009, just asthey approved a similarbenefit afterWorldWars Iand II, Korea and Viet-nam.

Besides being an Ohioresident at the start of ac-tive duty service, as wellas at the timehe or she ap-plies for the bonus, a vet-eran must meet the fol-lowing qualifications.

The veteranmust havebeen separated from theArmed Forces under hon-orable conditions.

An active duty servicemember also is eligible,and that applicant is eligi-ble if he or she remains inany reservecomponent ofthe armed forces, includ-ing the Ohio NationalGuard.

NEW RICHMOND —Riv-er Rats on Attack and theClermont County OpiateTask Force recently up-dated city officials hereon how the twogroups arefighting the heroin epi-demic sweeping GreaterCincinnati and the county.

Representatives ofboth groups appeared be-fore New RichmondCouncil Aug. 26.

Clermont County isamong several areas inOhio that have high ratesof heroin use, representa-tives of the ClermontCounty Opiate Task Forcetold council members.The task force, which be-gan meeting about a yearago, has members from anumber of areas, includ-ing health care, law en-forcement, public health,recovery and elected offi-cials.

“Our main goals are toreduce the supply, in-creaseadvocacy, increasetreatment, prevent useand reduce harm,” saidtask force member Mi-chelle Lydenberg of theClermont County PublicHealth District.

Lee Ann Watson, who’sthe associate director ofthe Clermont CountyMentalHealth andRecov-ery Board, said the taskforce wants county resi-dents to know that thereare publicly funded pro-grams for drug addictswho can’t afford treat-ment because they lackresources such as Medi-caid or private insurance.

New Richmond MayorRamona Carr said she’shearing that people who

are dealing with sub-stance abuse often lacktransportation to get totreatment.

“That’s a huge issue,”Watson said. “Let us knowwhat your communityneeds, and we’ll try to doit.”

To educate the public

on the taskforce’smissionand to address specificneeds in the county’s vari-ous communities, theClermont County OpiateTaskForce is schedulingaseries of town hall meet-ings, Watson said. Thefirst two to be scheduledwill be Sept. 24 at the U.S.Grant Career Center inBethel and Sept. 29 at theMiami Township Civic

Center.Meanwhile, New Rich-

mond native ShirleneMartin, a leaderof theriv-er rats group that orga-nized July 18, told city of-ficials that that organiza-tion was created to sup-port the village’s policedepartment in its battleagainst heroin. The groupis considering changingits name because manyare offended by the word“attack,” but its missionremains to help drug ad-dicts get needed treat-ment and toworkwith thelocal police to deter drugtrafficking.

Inresponse toacouncilmember’s question, Mar-tin said that she and other

“river rats” don’t plan onapproaching drug dealersif they encounter them onlocal streets.

“We would never putourselves in a dangeroussituation,” Martin said.“We know that is (Police)Chief (Randy) Harveyand his officers’ job.”

Now 150 membersstrong, Martin said thatshe and other “river rats”have met twice with rep-resentatives of the Ohioattorney general’s officeto discuss how they cansupport the police depart-ment in dealing with her-oin issues.Martin said shealso has discussed treat-ment options with drugaddicts who’ve ap-

proachedher, andshesaidthe groupwill take part innational drug awarenessRed Ribbon Week activ-ities, Oct. 23-31.

Sopho-mores Ian Bodner and Brendan Snydershould lead the way, along withnewcomers Eric Frey (senior) andJackson Durm (junior). Those fouralong with senior Nick Keri haveaspirations of leading the team toqualify to the Regional Championshipfor the first time since 2008. It won’tbe easy, though, as we still have a verystrong District. Wyoming is undoubt-edly the favorite (and probably onethe best teams in the state). IndianHill, New Richmond, Badin and Taylorwill all be strong as well. So we’ll haveto climb over a few teams to reachour goal. Still, we’ve worked hard allsummer, and we’re hoping for astrong season.”

(She made) first-team all-star herfreshman year and second teamall-star her sophomore and junioryears. Freshman Kaitlyn Sharp cameinto the season not running muchover the summer, but in her secondmeet of the season at Fayettevilleplaced sixth with a 24:16.”

That team was led by fourseniors, including District ChampCatherine Adams.This year, we’re obviously looking toreplace those seniors. Our strongestreturning runners include seniorAlana Osterday, Juniors Sydney Evansand Claire Daly, and sophomore JonaRidgway.If we hope to duplicate our success asone of the best teams in Cincinnati,we’ll need big contributions from newrunners. Those include seniors Mi-chelle Hollenkamp and Lily Deller;juniors Beth Simmons, Emily Tekulveand Gillian Tierney; sophomore AnnaEnders; and freshmen Meagan Taylorand Tiffany Hayward.Where we might be a bit stronger thanlast year is with our depth. Last year,we had four great seniors and a fewunderclassmen. But one injury reallyhurt our team. This year, we have a lotof new girls coming over from soccerand will contribute to our team’ssuccess. Any one of the aforemen-tioned runners could potentially leadour team, and I think we’ll have quitea few surprises. That said, we don’thave any one runner who will dom-inate the Division II scene like Cather-ine Adams did last year, when shewon the Mason Invitational and thedistrict championship.Our biggest competition will probablycome from the usual teams: Wyo-ming, Indian Hill and New Richmond,with teams like Madeira and Taylor inthe mix as well. As always, our goal isto qualify to the win the districtchampionship and qualify to theRegional Championship as a team.”

For an ever-growing organiza-tion like the Cincinnati Saints, theoff-field success of the 2014 Na-tional Premier League Soccer sea-son is in many ways even morevaluable than the on-field results.

The Saints finished the 2014season with a 3-10-1 record. Theyalso enjoyed their first seasonplaying home games at Taft HighSchool’s Stargel Stadium and hopeto capitalize on the excitementcreated by the FIFAWorld Cup.

“Considering the awareness ofwhat we’re trying to do and tryingto build, I’d say it was a successfulseason,” Saints owner David Sat-terwhite said. “We’re trying to dothings differently than otherteams before us.”

First-year head coach DavidWall would have liked to see morevictories, but he was pleased withthe Saints’ progress both on andoff the field.

“The season has been as suc-cess, as with it being the first yearin the NPSL, I felt we were morethan competitive with the playingsquad we had,” said Wall. “Theplayers worked hard and transi-tioned well to life in the fourth di-vision of soccer in the U.S.”

Wall hopes to see schedulingchanges that would help avoidwear and tear on the players. In-stead of back-to-back games, hewould prefer the games be spreadout each week and the season ex-tended to 28 games. The consecu-tive games and schedule heavywith early season road matcheshad the Saints trying to play catchup the rest of the season. TheSaints enjoyed their new homefield and are looking forward tospending more time playing infront of Cincinnati fans next sea-son.

“We didn’t know if anybodywould show up with our move toOver-the-Rhine,”Satterwhitesaid.“Our hope was to get more peopleto show up bymoving downtown.”

The World Cup created a per-fect opportunity for the Saints topromote professional soccer inCincinnati. The organization host-ed watch parties on FountainSquare, with the help of sponsorHoist. The crowds were over-whelming, much larger than thegroups of fans who watched the2010 World Cup on the square.

“Thatwas our coming out partyin the city,” said Satterwhite. “Weproved that there is a soccer com-

munity here.”Now, the Saints must continue

to build on the excitement createdby thosewatchpartiesand theU.S.Men’s National Team’s success.

“It isvery important tohave thestaff and players continue themo-mentum that the World Cupbrought to the city by being activenot only on the field but off thefield as well,” saidWall. “That willonly enhance our community rela-tionships with our fans and spon-sor groups.”

The Saints will play the upcom-ing indoor season theMajorArenaSoccer League, a newly createdleague that combines the Saints’former league, the ProfessionalArenaSoccerLeague,withtheMa-

jor Indoor Soccer League. Arenaleague play begins in late Octoberand continues throughMarch.

“It is going to be super compet-itive.Wehavetogooutandlookforsome really talented players tocompete,” Satterwhite said. “Weare really looking to kick it intohigh gear.”

The next step is for the Saintsorganization to continue makingits mark on the community.Through player appearances, soc-cerclinicsandcamps,hospital vis-its, and charity events, the Saintshope to spread their long termgoals throughout Cincinnati.

“The club and professional soc-cer continue to have a bright fu-ture here in the city,” said Wall.

Northern Kentucky University graduate Brendan Murphy heads the ball againstMichigan in late June.

A pair of 1-0 losses toopen the season ended upcosting the Cincinnati La-dy Saints, who narrowlymissed qualifying for theWomen’s Premier SoccerLeague postseason. TheLady Saints, who playedtheir home games at Star-gel Stadium, finished theWPSL season with a 5-3-2mark.

“We’re a little disap-pointed,” said first-yearhead coach Joe Talley.

The Lady Saints willplay inanamateurtourna-ment on July 26 and 27 be-fore going their separateways in the fall. Of thesquad’s 46 members, 19will stick with the teamthroughout the offseason,and have already ex-pressed interest in find-ing competition in the fallandwinter. Otherswill re-turn to college or pursueother opportunities. Forthose19, the goal is to findan indoor league in themidwest.

“We need to find themsome place to play, to givethem a competitiveleague to play in in thewinter,” said Talley.

Talley took over at thehelm of the program inOctober and did not have

much time to get the teamuptospeedbefore thesea-son began in May. Theplayers, led by captainsChristy Zwolski and KimComisar-Granell, eventu-ally got on board.

“It took them sometime to get used tome andthe new formations,” saidTalley. “Once theydid buyin, it seemed towork pret-ty well.”

The team relied on adefensive-heavy 4-5-1 for-mation and played withmore confidence withfour backs. Next year, theteam hopes to diversifyits attack.

“Wehad a nicemixtureof veteran players withexperience and collegeplayerswith athleticism,”said Talley. “We hope toadd more attacking play-ers and hope to expandour ability to shift forma-tions.”

The Lady Saints drewaround250 fans to their fi-nal home game.

The game-day productiswell-run,with sponsors,a halftime show, and ac-commodations for thevis-iting team.

“We treat it like a pro-fessional league, like anyother professional sport-ing atmosphere,” Talleysaid.

Today’s message is vastly dif-ferent from everything I writtenover the years, as this time it willnot be a mini-sermon, but a re-minder we are living in periloustimes.

Folks, persecution isn’t on theway for Christians, it is alreadyhere. I don’t know about you, but Iwas outraged to hear the otherday that at a woman working at aU.S. Bank in Kentucky was firedfrom her job for simply saying“Have a blessed day,” after eachof her transactions with her cus-tomers.

I couldn’t believe my ears, so Icalled my local bank where mywife and I have all of our ac-counts and asked them about thesituation. And of course theycould not comment without fearof losing their jobs.

Fortunately, I was able to ac-quire a phone number of an exec-utive at U.S. Bank and he gave meall the normal legal rhetoric anddanced around the issue as I ex-pected he would. He even had thegall to say that U.S. Bank holdstheir employees to a high ethicalstandard, which is surprising,

because in myopinion, U.S.Bank is not be-ing ethical at all,they are beingprejudiced.

I thought welived in Amer-ica, home of thebrave, land ofthe free. Now,this person who

I will not name for obvious rea-sons, went on to remind me of theseparation of church and state,which is ironic because when ourforefathers instituted this it wasto keep government out ofchurch, not the other way around.If you read the history books,religious persecution was whythey came to this new land tobegin with. In addition, our fore-fathers were worried about toomuch government even then, andI believe they would literally turnover in their graves to see whatAmerica has become.

Furthermore, after our con-versation I informed him that mywife and I are going to transferour funds to another bank, be-

cause the only thing these corpo-rations understand is the bottomline. If it hurts their pocketbookthey will listen. I remember theytried to pull a fast one on theChik-fil-A franchise, but peoplerallied to their support. A man gothis house rebuilt after peoplepulled their money out of a localbank. I hope that others will con-sider doing the same. Wemuststop this now. If you think thiswon’t affect you at some point inthe future you are mistaken.

In addition, there was anotherstartling news event that hap-pened very recently which shouldpique your interest, a young girlin a certain school who simplysaid “Bless you,” when someonesneezed and got in trouble withthe teacher and the school. Thequestion is what are we going todo about it? Please call U.S. Bank.Call the school board. Let’s tellthem how we feel. We can make adifference.

OUR ELECTIONSLETTERS ANDCOLUMNS POLICY

Last week we received a post-card fromWest Clermont SchoolDistrict. It instructed us about mydaughter’s school bus schedule. Iwas happy to see the district ismaking busing available to middleschoolers. Then I looked at theschedule. My daughter was expect-ed to wait for the bus at 6:28 in themorning. She was actually asked towait 10 minutes earlier.

We have all noticed the days aregetting shorter as we end summerand head towards fall. Now a day’ssunrise is around seven in themorning. This is going to get laterand later, with only a temporaryreprieve when daylight saving timeends.

This busing schedule isn’tunique for West Clermont. Allaround the Tristate middle schooland high school students start theirstudying around 7:30 a.m. Becauseof logistical issues they have towait for the buses before the sun-rises. It also means a lot of themwake up before six in the morning.

This timetable is very problem-atic. Teenagers are not supposed towake up so early. According to theNational Sleep Foundation teen-agers need at least eight and a halfhours of sleep, most even more. Asteenagers develop, their internalclock changes. They cannot fallasleep around 8 p.m. or 9p.m., butrather closer to 11 p.m. This meansthey cannot have sufficient amount

of sleep if theyhave to wake upbefore 6 a.m..This causes adecrease in theability to concen-trate and learn. Italso increasesthe risk for de-veloping obesityand being in-volved in a motor

vehicle accident.There are possible solutions.

One of themwould be to change totime school starts. Maybe we canhave the middle and high schoolstart around 9 a.m., while havingelementary school start at eight.

Having an earlier elementaryschool starting time will enablemore parents to set their childrento school and then go to work dur-ing normal business hours. It willenable the teenagers to wake up ina more physiological appropriatetime and will enhance their aca-demic performance.

There are other solutions and Iwould urge all the boards of thedifferent districts in the area toconsider them. We owe our chil-dren a chance for better sleepwhich leads to a healthier, betterlife.

rorist attack on US soil? Why orwhy not?

“I remain just as concernedabout a terrorist attack on theUS now as I was after 9/11. TheUS and homeland security et alhavebeefeduppreventivemea-sures. But the Jihad terroristsof the world continue their cru-sade of hate. I can see why theSuper Bowl has such stringent

security measures. Did youever ask yourself that if thiscountry is so bad why so manytry to get in but very few leave?Go Figure!!!”

T.D.T.

“What concerns me are notterrorist attacks but the lack ofoutcry from the leaders of theMuslim communities in ourcountry about what is going onoverseas.

“I feel like the Muslim reli-

gion at its base must be one ofacceptance of their principlesand doctrine or death. Evenwithin their own religion theycan’t agree on which sect is thetrue sect so they kill each other.

“As a Christian nation, theywould have no qualms or re-spect for our beliefs so I amsureour lives areworthnothingto them, and the chance of con-version, even under the threatof their sword would probablynot even be offered.

“I’m most concerned aboutwhat type of support is beingfunneled from mosques andMuslimorganizations located inthe United States to these or-ganizations such as ISIS.

“While I believe in freedomof religion, a religion based onkilling those that you can’t con-vert seems to be one that is dan-gerous to allow to grow and ex-pand in this country.”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWill Major League Baseball everlift the lifetime ban of PeteRose? Should MLB lift the ban?Why or why not?

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

Senior singles may be hesitant to getassistance with finding dates, lookingfor companionship or a possible long-relationship, especially when dating islinked with the words computer or web-

site.Using common sense

and good judgment, on-line dating is an aid foranyone who finds it diffi-cult in finding singles.

Most of the many dat-ing websites charge fortheir services, such aseHarmony and Match,which are heavily ad-vertised. Beware of themany that advertise that

you can sign up and /or see your matchesfor free. However, most of them willeventually require a fee if you want tosend a message to someone or reply toone.

There are several websites that willallow you to view photos, read profiles,approach someone and respond back ifcontacted. POF (Plenty of Fish), OK-Cupid, and eVow are three. Try free sitesbefore using a site that charges.

Start by going to a dating website andregistering. That normally involvesanswering some basic questions andcreating a short profile, which includessaying who you are looking for, givingsome interests, and attaching photos.

Generally, as a minimum, it will askfor your name, year of birth, location,height, hair color and body type. It mayask for profession, income, sometimesfor matching purposes. Next, it will askyou to write your dating profile.

First, choose the nickname you wantto use. Pick something that describes

you such as doglover45013 or luvdanc-ing. Create a profile or answer the ques-tions. Tell about yourself. Tell what youare looking for in your match. Put sometime into it. Aim at getting the datingpossibilities you want. Be positive. Re-vise it when necessary.

When attaching photos, use a clearhead photo, a full body photo and somephotos of you in an activity or hobby,such as hiking or attending a Reds game.It is best to have someone take the pho-tos. Don’t reveal too much for safetyreasons. Have someone read your pro-file to check for correct spelling, punc-tuation, grammar, and overall clarity.You can usually block smokers, the samegender as you, and those far from whereyou live.

Use the search function to find some-one. A basic search will find singlesbased on how far from your area you willtravel. You may also search using age,body type, race, hair color, and otherfactors. Dating matches will appear. Ifyou see someone that appeals to you,write a nice ice-breaking message,which perhaps mentions a common in-terest or something in the profile thatgrabbed your attention.

This is your first impression. Make itgood. You may be contacted by someonefirst. If interested in that person, takeyour time for a good reply. If not in-terested, kindly say so.

Since it is a dating site, and not a pen-pal site, eventually it is best to arrangeto give telephone numbers or email ad-dresses, or arrange a meeting when youare both comfortable with it.

Several years ago Iwent to Italy with mybest friend, Carol Vanov-er. One day as we weretraveling, we stopped at agas station/restaurant.We knew the food wouldbe good, not fast foodsandwiches wrapped insaran on white bread, buthonest-to-goodness homecooked food served buf-fet style.

The most memorableitem in the whole placewas not the food, but awhole display of Nutella,that popular Italian ha-zelnut chocolate spread.What I was impressedwith was a gigantic jar ofNutella available forpurchase. It weighedmore than 10 pounds andhad me salivating fordays. If I could havepacked it in my suitcase,I would have.

Since then I’ve beenon a quest to make home-made Nutella. I’ve madedifferent versionsthrough the years, butthe recipe I’m sharingtoday is the easiest.

The difference be-tween this and store-bought Nutella is thehomemade version islighter in color and not ascreamy/shiny as storebought, but then again,it’s easy and doesn’t con-tain anything you can’tbuy at the grocery.

Nutella cloneNext time I make this

I’m going to try semi-sweet chocolate. Hazel-nut oil is my choice, butif your budget won’tallow, vegetable oilworks.

1 cup hazelnuts,chopped and toasted (you

may beable to buythem al-readychopped,in whichcase theyare mostlikely al-readytoasted).

11-12 ozmilk choc-

olate - real chocolatemorsels or high qualitybars, chopped - I used11.5 oz bag of milk choco-late morsels

1 teaspoon vanilla3 tablespoons Hazel-

nut oil or vegetable oil1 tablespoon melted

butter3 tablespoons confec-

tioners’ sugar1 tablespoon cocoa

powderCouple pinches saltMelt chocolate and let

cool. Meanwhile, processhazelnuts to a pasty con-sistency in food proces-sor. Add vanilla, oil, but-ter, sugar and cocoa pow-der. Process until fairlysmooth. Add cooled melt-ed chocolate and processuntil it’s as smooth as youlike.

To toast whole hazel-nuts: Preheated 350 oven,10-12 minutes. Be carefulnot to toast too long orthey’ll burn and tasteterrible. Wrap them intowel and rub to removeloose skin. Not all willcome off.

Store Nutella covered,at room temperature fora week, or in refrigerator3 months. To serve fromrefrigerator, warm up alittle so that it’s spread-able. Be careful here;warm up on low for best

consistency. Or leave outat room temperatureuntil it’s spreadable.

English muffinswith Nutella andfruit

A perfect snack forafter school! Spreadwhole wheat toastedEnglish muffin half withNutella, add sliced ap-ples, bananas, etc. anddrizzle with a tiny bit ofhoney.

Eileen Bittman’ssimple OktoberfestGerman potatosalad

I’ve shared my reci-pes for this traditionalOktoberfest dish and nowI’m happy to share Col-erain Township readerEileen Bittman’s recipe.I’ve learned so muchfrom Eileen, a super cookwho is always willing toshare her favorites. Yes,it’s another vintage reci-pe and one requested byJudy, a 40 somethingmomwho told me about asimilar recipe that sheenjoyed as a child. Eileensaid this is from a 1962Pillsbury cookbook. AsI’ve mentioned before, Ithink we’ve startedsomething here withthese vintage and retrorecipes that bring backsuch good memories.

Fry 5 slices baconuntil crisp. Drain andreserve 3 tablespoonsdrippings. Crumble ba-con. Sauté 1 smallchopped Bermuda onionin drippings until tender.Blend in 2 tablespoonsflour, then stir in 2/3 cupcider vinegar and 1-1/3

cups water. Boil untilthickened slightly andadd 1/4 cup sugar, saltand pepper to taste. Pourover bacon and 6 cupssliced cooked potatoesand keep warm untilserved.

Howdy Folks,We just got back from

the chemo treatment forRuth Ann at AndersonMercy. They gave hertwo doses this morning.She is doing good, itdoesn’t seem to hurt heryet. We hope and pray itdoesn’t.

Last week we calledthe folks to pick up thedining room chairs thatwe repaired. We invitedthem to come out and getsome garden items, theywere happy to get somefresh items.

Wednesday was theClermont Senior Services

boardmeeting.After themeetingthere wasan extraevent. TheCEO ofSeniorServices,Cindy, andthe CFO,

Greg, had the waterdumped on them. Thiswas to raise money forthe ALS disease charity .

They had the option tonominate someone else.Cindy nominated GeorgeBrown and Greg nomi-natedMary Jane. The

pilgrim Brown was notthere to get his waterbath, so maybe next time,if he is not hiking thetrails here at East Fork.NowMary Jane did get alittle water thrown onher, she is a great sportand a good member ofthe board. The SeniorServices is a great or-ganization, they do somuch for the seniors ofClermont County.

We are eating out ofthe garden. For dinnerthe other day we had stirfried carrots, onions,green peppers, zucchini,potato, for the meat we

had fish which wecaught. Yum yum!

We started a clean upproject here last week.We started washing thehouse down, you may notknowwhat I mean. Thevinyl siding we have getsmold on it. This is a jobthat takes lots of muscle.Our water pump on thecistern didn’t have thepressure to run the pow-er washer, so I used abrush and Ruth Annsquirted water on it withthe hose. It takes as youfolks know lots of time tokeep a house and proper-ty looking good, alsoplenty of money. I un-derstand why older folksdownsize to live in a con-do.

We dug our fall pota-toes last week and got anice bunch. That willkeep us in potatoes for along time this fall andwinter. The tomatoes arestill providing. We gavethe Bethel UnitedMeth-odist Church a nice boxfull for the Kitchen ofHope meal. They appreci-ate any garden itemsthey can get.

If you like cantaloupeand watermelon alongwith corn and tomatoes,the Grants Farm andGreenhouses have some

beautiful produce. It isnot too late to set outbroccoli plants for fall.We have planted somelettuce for fall along withsome red romaine lettucealso try planting spinach.

The Boars Head BaitShop in Afton will behaving a special eventSept. 13 so get in for thefun, and help supportAutism.

TheMonroe Grangewill hold their first of theseason bake sale at the360 Auction Sept. 12.

With fall getting herethe farmers will be on thehighway with their bigfarm equipment, so bepatient and give themplenty of room.

This fall the water willbe cooling down and thefishing should get realgood, this is the time tostock up the freezers

with fish.The other morning

Ruth Ann was on thecomputer and heard anoise outside in the drive-way. When we lookedthere were two hen tur-keys and over in the yardthere were six youngturkeys along with acouple older ones.

It won’t be long beforeturkey season and deerseason. One morning Isaw a young turkey lay-ing in the road that hadbeen hit by a vehicle.

Start your week bygoing to the house ofworship of your choiceand praise the Good Lord.God Bless All. More later.

It’s true. Regular oil changes, tune-ups and maintenance can help improve your vehicle’s performance and gasmileage, extend its life and increase its resale value. It can also help reduce traffic congestion due to preventablebreakdowns. But possibly most important of all, taking good care of your car could help reduce emissions bymore than half. And that should make you breathe a lot easier between oil changes. So keep it up because…
