Collecting money to helpprovide food and giftsfor the community’sfamilies in need is the

goal of the Bethel American Le-gion Post No. 406 when mem-bers hit the streets Dec. 5 ask-ing for donations.

“We’ve been doing this forover 60 years so we get quite afew repeat callers,” Post Com-mander Mark Nickell said.“We’ll actually ask for dona-tions and we’ll stand out in thestreet and collect money.”

Post members are expectedto be located near Frisch’s, 551W. Plane St.. Last year, Nickellsaid the Post raised about$13,000.

As many as 80 families willbe helped by this effort. De-pending on how much money israised, a portion is used to buyfood for the families and therest used to buy gifts for thechildren, he said.

The families receive pota-toes, ham, butter, milk, sugar,flour and some canned goodscollected by students at the Be-thel-Tate Local School District.High School members help tobuy some of the gifts and the lo-cal Dollar Store also helps. Thelegion used to buy some of thegroceries from the Bethel IGA.Since that’s closed, the FelicityIGA is working with the legion.

“They actually gave us a bet-ter price than we were gettingfrom the Bethel IGA,” he said.

In addition to the money col-lected through the street cam-paign, Nickell said the legionalso receives donations. BelcanCorp. donated $1,000, he said.The Bethel Lodge donated $200this year. One year a schoolteacher dropped off a check for$100.

Julia Smith is a force to bereckoned with when it comes tohelping families with AutismSpectrum Disorders.

On Saturday, Dec. 5, the char-ity she and her husband GregSmith founded, Families withASD, will hold a fundraiserwalk from noon to 4 p.m. atAmelia Elementary School.

“Our group hopes to raise alot of money on Saturday, Dec. 5because we are trying to raisemoney for the Luke GregoryCenter,” Julia Smith said. “Fam-ilies with ASD has been around10 years. We started it becauseof Luke.”

Luke is their son, Luke Greg-ory Smith. He has autism. Thediagnosis came at age 3. He andthe family did well for a while.Then, at the beginning of third-grade, at about8-years-old, anervous tic revealed itself. ByOctober he began hurting him-self. November brought his

first seizures. In DecemberLuke became violent for thefirst time.

“He used to be so loving andsweet, like he is now,” saidSmith, who wondered what todo.

“It got real dark there for awhile,” added his dad, Greg.

Julia realized very quicklythat doctors and the hospital didnot have the resources neededfor an autistic individual. Thereare simply too many families inneed. She teaches in Ameliaschools and reached out to findothers similar to them. Theyheld the first meeting with sev-en families in March 2005.

“It was so nice to be able totalk with somebody else wholived it,” she said.

Soon they were meetingmonthly. More and more fam-ilies came. It grew and grew andthe Smiths were paying for ev-erything out of their own pock-et. Julia decided to have a Hal-loween party because autistickids never get invited to one.

“We always wanted to in-clude the family,” Greg said.“We say bring the family, every-one is accepting.”

Response was huge for theHalloween party. They had 75families and more than 100 peo-ple in their humble tri-levelhome. They could not keep pay-ing for everything. Not wanting

to turn people away or chargethem, they formed the 501c3charity in February 2006. Fam-ilies with ASD held a little infor-mation session for the public inSeptember.

“We had over 75 tables andover 2,500 people came to thisexpo,” Smith said. “This is allvolunteers. None of us are paid.

We’re all parents.”That first expo was in the An-

derson Hill United MethodistChurch 10 years ago. It movedto Live Oaks, outgrew that ven-ue and moved to SharonvilleConvention Center, where they

will hold their 10th anni-versary expo in 2016. Theevent raises money forFamilies with ASD. Thegroup organizes otherevents. They have autismfriendly Easter so theycan see the Easter Bunnywithout the anxiety of ameltdown in the mall.They have Bingo taconight, free Friday nightblitz movies; normal so-cial activity in which au-tistic families cannot nor-mally participate.

“We plan for the worstand pray for the best,”Smith said. “You just nev-er know. You have tothink about what couldhappen if you’re at themovie theater.”

A “meltdown” couldhappen. That can meanproperty damaged, phys-ical injury, and couldeven require police andemergency aid assis-tance. Julia only had tomake that call once. Lukewas not himself; he’s likethe Hulk, three times hisnormal strength. Shefeared police would comein “guns blazing.” She’smost thankful theydidn’t.

They had a center, akind of home, for theFamilies with ASD onMeijer Drive in Milfordfor about eight years. Thecenter had autism infor-mation, supplies, and wassimply a safe environ-ment for autism familiesto go, not worry, and bethemselves. It closed.There is no state or feder-al funding, only dona-

tions. With the centerclosed, they’ve had nohome base this past year.They could not pay rentand save money to ex-pand at the same time.

“All our kids are grow-ing,” she said. “They areall becoming adults withautism.”

Many of the familieshave been in the groupfor 10 years. Their chil-dren are all 10 years old-er. Luke is 20; he’ll be 21inJune 2016. They age outof school at 22. With noreal autism program inCincinnati at this time,there is no place for themto go. The center in Mil-ford was like a house, notlike a hospital. The groupwants a place with a fullkitchen, to teach usefullife skills, and a gymwhere they won’t beturned away at the door.

“We would like to buya place that will go pastus,” Smith said. “Oncewe’re gone, it will con-tinue. We’d love to find anold church that has agym, and all that inthere.”

Luke has worked atChick-Fil-A and current-ly works at City Barbe-cue and cleans the churchthey attend. He is a huge“Star Wars” fan and lovesto create his own greet-ing cards to send tofriends and family. He isthat sweet loving youngman his mom mentioned.They won’t quit servingthe young people, butthey need a place whereadults like Luke will feelwelcome. The goal is tomake them as indepen-dent as they can be.

“It has helped us totalk to other families,”

Greg Smith said. “We’vebeen able to share tipswith others.”

The fundraiser walkSaturday, Dec. 5, at Ame-lia Elementary Schoolwill have a “Star Wars”theme. They’ll show a“Star Wars” movie. “StarWars” characters fromthe 501st Ohio Garrisonwill be on hand to enter-tain, and there will be abake sale. Funds from thewalk will support ongo-ing activities and theLuke Gregory Center forautism.

“When this center hap-pens,” Smith said, “andwe network all theseadults together, they’regoing to build this com-munity of friendship.They’re going to haveeach other’s back. We’rebuilding a bigger safetynet for everybody.”

Clermont County Com-missioners approved a2016 general fund operat-ing budget of $53.2 mil-lion, an increase over2015’s $50.9 million bud-get.

The general fund is thelargest discretionarysource of funds in thecounty, and finances 20 of21 elected offices in Cler-mont County. (The Engi-neer’s Office is fundedthrough state gasoline

taxes and driver licensefees.)

Sales tax, which pro-vides almost 50 percent ofgeneral fund revenue, hascontinued to increase, ac-cording to Sukie Scheetz,director of the Office ofManagement and Budget.In fact, the county ex-pects its 2016 revenues tofinally be above 2007,when operating revenuepeaked at $53.3 million,before the slide into re-

cession began.The county will in-

crease its reserves in2016, to protect against in-creasing volatility in rev-enue sources, Scheetzsaid.

“We typically hold 25percent of revenues in re-serve, or three months ofoperating expenses,” shesaid. She recommended,and commissioners ap-proved, changing that to33 percent, enough to cov-er four months of operat-ing expenses.

Commissioners out-lined some priorities forthe 2016 budget, which in-clude:

» restoration of twosheriff deputy positions;

» restoration of a build-ing inspector position;

» a full year of fundingfor 50 additional beds add-ed in 2015 at the countyjail;

» salary increases forcounty employees aver-aging 2.85 percent.

A local agency onceagain hopes to makes theholidays brighter for areachildren.

Clermont County Chil-dren’s Protective Ser-vices is coordinating theCommunity Toy Chest inwhich gifts and otheritems are given to chil-dren who are in fosterhomes or helped by thedepartment in some way.

The donated items aredelivered to the caretak-er’s homes for the chil-dren to open on Christ-mas.

Sanna Gast, an admin-istrative supervisor forChildren’s Protective Ser-vices, said 350 children

were helped last year.Gast said the donation

of new toys is encour-aged.

“This is the time ofyear we can make a mag-ical day,” she said.

Children who arehelped range in age fromtoddler to age 18.

Donations for teens arealso welcomed, Gast said.These items could includeelectronic devices, carepackages or even bathproducts.

Although many of thesponsors are individuals,area churches and otherorganizations often helpout as well.

Gast said people havebeen creative in the pastdropping off items rang-ing from homemade

stockings filled withgoodies to homemadequilts.

Monetary donations,new coats, wrapping ma-terials and bows are alsoaccepted.

There is no limit placedon the amount of items do-nated or the cost.

Individuals can chooseto sponsor a specific childor siblings. Gast can pro-vide the age, size and spe-cific items the childwants. Typically a num-ber is then assigned foridentification along withthe child’s first name.

Gast said it is not un-

common for those send-ing gifts to receive athank-you note from thechild or children beinghelped.

Items can be droppedoff at Children’s Protec-tive Services, 2400 Cler-mont Center Drive, be-tween 8 a.m. and 4:15 p.m.Monday through Friday.

Gast said ProtectiveServices hopes to receivemost of the donations byearly December, but do-nations will continue to beaccepted until mid-De-cember.

An ounce of prevention is worth a poundof cure. Especially when it comes to leav-ening baked goods during this super busyholiday season.

That’s why I’m reminding you again tocheck your leavening agents. For bakingpowder, stir a teaspoon or so into 1/4 cupwarm water. It should fizz up right away. Ifnot, toss it.

To test leavening power in baking soda,stir a teaspoon or so into 1/4 cup of vinegaror lemon juice. It should also fizz up rightaway.

Stir a packet of yeast in very warm water witha pinch of sugar to feed it. If it’s good, it will bub-ble/foam after a few minutes. I store my yeast inthe freezer for longer shelf life.

Readers want to knowWhat’s that white coating or speckling on my

chocolate?The whitish layer/speckling is what is known as

“chocolate bloom.” There are two types: fat andsugar bloom.

Fat bloom is caused when chocolate is exposed

to high temperatures and then allowed toreset, or is not tempered properly. Thecocoa butter melts and separates, thenrises to the surface creating a whitish“bloom.”

Sugar/speckled bloomChocolate looks speckled rather than

whitish. Caused by an excess of moisturethat makes the sugar crystallize.

Store in cool place to avoid bloom.

Using bloomed chocolateYes, it’s safe. It may not have the “snap” and

silky-smooth texture of tempered chocolate, butthe flavor is still good.

Difference between bitter, bittersweet,semisweet, milk and white chocolate.

This is a good recipe for brunch since it’s yummy warm or roomtemperature. The cayenne gives it punch; the sugar lends a mellowsweetness. Use high quality, thick cut bacon for best results.

1 pound thick cut bacon

Mix:

1/4 cup brown sugar, packedScant 1/2 teaspoon ea. cayenne and black pepper

Preheat oven to 350. Lay bacon in single layer on sprayed sheet.Rub a bit less than half the sugar mixture on top. Bake in mid-

dle of oven about 15-20 minutes. Turn over and sprinkle with rest ofmixture. Bake until crisp, about 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Lois Boekley’s Crumb Coffee Cake

Brunch is a popular way to entertain during the holidays.Here’s a recipe from reader Lois Boekley, who treasures her family’sgenerational recipes. Lois said: “I got the recipe from my grand-mother many years ago, and tweaked it to make it my own. I haveshared this cake with many people over the years to welcome newneighbors, for potlucks, and for friends who are under the weath-er.” Lois’ tip on not over mixing the batter results in a more tender,nice textured, cake.

3 -1/3 cups all purpose flour2-1/4 cups sugar1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon1/2 teaspoon nutmegPinch salt18 tablespoons salted butter or margarine1 cup buttermilk1 teaspoon baking soda2 eggs

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch roundor two 8-inch square pans or one 13 X 9-inch pan.

Combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.Using a pastry blender cut in the butter or margarine. (This

can also be done in batches in a food processor.)Remove 2 cups of the mixture and set aside.Stir the baking soda into the buttermilk. Immediately add the

buttermilk mixture and the eggs to the remaining crumb mixture.Mix only until the mixture is evenly moistened; do not over mix.The batter will be lumpy.

Transfer the batter into the prepared pan(s). Sprinkle with thereserved crumb mixture.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean,about 25 to 30 minutes for the 8- or 9-inch cakes or 30 to 35 min-utes for the 13 X 9-inch cake. Cool on a wire rack.

Note: This cake is best served warm. Reheat individual por-tions in the microwave oven.

Nov. 26 question

Would you feel safe travel-ing to Europe in light of theParis attacks? What would ittake to make you feel safethere?

“Had this question beenasked even two years ago myanswer would have been a sim-ple ‘sure.’ However, in light ofthe ever-increasing audacity ofradical Islamist groups (yesObama, you should use that la-bel), I would be extremely un-comfortable traveling inEurope with that all too identifi-able dark blue passport. It is ashame that so many innocentshave been killed in such violentmanners. It is a shame that ittakes events with the magni-tude of 9/11 or Paris or London

trains or US embassies or hotelsin Mali to wake more of theworld up to the ever-increasingthreat radical Islamists insist isgood religion. It is a shame thatwe can’t all just learn to get

along with each other. It will bea real shame if we end up nextNovember with another weaksympathizer living at 1600Pennsylvania. Let us hope anpray for real leadership toguide us through and beyondthe terrorism quagmire.”

M.J.F.“I would not feel safe travel-

ing to Europe or for that matterany other foreign country ex-cept Canada. I have felt this waysince 9/11 and these terrorist at-tacks such as Paris reconfirmmy fears. Europe is being overrun with refugees from the Mid-dle East. Odd how so many aretrying to get out of these Mus-lim countries; yet they are notheaded to Dubai or Qatar. GoFigure!”

A publication of

As a concerned Christian, Iwas saddened by the tragic

death of un-armed blackyouth, Timo-thy Thomas in2001 by a whiteCincinnatipolice officer(who was ac-quitted ofcharges ofnegligenthomicide).

I was alsodisturbed bysubsequent

rioting that caused $3.5 millionin damages to innocent proper-ty owners, and another $2 mil-lion in damages to city proper-ty (i.e. the taxpayers as in-nocent victims).

I welcomed the Neighbor to

Neighbor (N2N) groupsthroughout the city formedwith an eye to peaceful racialreconciliation and attended anumber of the 2001 and 2002Milford N2N meetings. What Iwitnessed at these meetingsquickly caused me to quit:white-bashing by some blacksin attendance and white guiltby some whites. To me, focus-ing the discussions on “whiteprivilege” and “white racism”did not seem healthy or help-ful.

The reader might recall theWashington, D.C., Beltwaysniper killings in October 2002,where two African Americanmen shot and killed 10 peoplewhile wounding another three.Even though these criminalswere caught in the act, andwere eventually tried and con-

victed, some of the attendeesat the final Milford N2N meet-ing I attended expressed out-rage that black men had beencharged, claiming that “onlywhite men commit serial mur-der.”

These N2N members sawthe arrest of Lee Boyd Malvoand John Allen Williams as acase of “racial profiling.”

Many Americans are con-cerned that the Obama Ad-ministration is planning toimport tens of thousands ofSyrian “refugees” into theUnited States despite the Di-rector of the FBI admittingthat it is “impossible” to vetthese people. An estimated 97percent of the “refugees” areMuslim, while only 3 percentare Christian or other faiths. Inthe light of thousands of terror-

ist incidents worldwide com-mitted by Muslims since 2001,is it sensible for Americans toprofile incoming Muslimswhen we don’t know who theyare?

President Obama claimsthat to deny Syrian Muslimsentry into the United Stateswould be a “religious test” anda “betrayal of American val-ues.” Interestingly, Beltwaysniper Williams in 1987 joinedthe Nation of Islam andchanged his name to John Al-len Muhammad. Besides kill-ing 10 in the Washington, D.C.,area, Muhammad was respon-sible for the murder of 14 oth-ers.

Some Milford N2N mem-bers are still busy inferringdiscrimination in hiring by theCity of Milford and by the

Milford Exempted VillageSchool District.

“We are truly concernedabout all the many racial is-sues,” said Charlene Hinners.What issues, I ask.

Apparently Hinners agreeswith President Obama’s chargelast summer that “racism is inAmerica’s DNA,” and SupremeCourt Justice Anthony Kenne-dy’s claim in the 2015 FairHousing decision that evenneutral, “colorblind” actionscan easily produce unequal,racist results.

Nonsense, unfair to Amer-ica and Americans. I call onthe city and school district tohire the most qualified candi-dates, regardless of race.

Milford City Schools: Hire the mostqualified candidates, regardless of race

As a financial professional,I never thought I’d encounteranything that people fear asmuch as taxes, but alas, I

have… FAFSA.For those of

you who havenot yet sent achild off tocollege, FAF-SA stands forthe Free Appli-cation forFederal Stu-dent Aid. Thepurpose ofFAFSA is todetermine theexpected fam-

ily contribution (EFC), which isthe amount of money a familywill have to pay for college forthe current academic yearbefore they can be consideredfor need-based financial aid.EFC has four components -parent income, parent assets,student income and studentassets.

Historically, a family wouldcomplete this form for the firsttime in January of their stu-dent’s senior year in highschool, using their prior yearfederal tax returns to reportparent and student income.This timeline will hold true for

families of current high schoolseniors, who will completeFAFSA for the first time thiscoming January, using their2015 tax returns to determinetheir financial aid eligibilityfor the 2016-2017 academicyear, which will be their fresh-man year in college.

Although guidance counsel-ors typically start engagingstudents in the preparing-for-college process quite early intheir high school careers (asearly as freshman year), par-ents will often avoid consider-ing how they will pay for ituntil senior year, when FAFSAis looming.

The U.S. Department ofEducation recently announcedsweeping changes to thisschedule, which now makes itimperative for parents of ju-niors and sophomores to startplanning for the paying-for-college process. The firstchange moves the filing fromJanuary back to October,meaning parents of currenthigh school juniors will filetheir first FAFSA in October2016 (rather than January2017). The second change re-quires families to report in-come from their “prior prior”year tax return, so families of

juniors will use their 2015 taxreturns (rather than 2016) toreport income, even thoughthey won’t head off to collegeuntil the fall of 2017. Familiesof current sophomores will usetheir 2016 tax returns to com-plete FAFSA in October 2017,for the 2018-2019 academicyear.

These changes are impor-tant for two reasons: 1) theymore closely align the finan-cial aid process with the col-lege application and admissionprocess, and 2) they affordfamilies an earlier opportunityto plan for how they will payfor college and more impor-tantly, more time to strate-gically minimize their Expect-ed Family Contribution.

Current statistics show that89 percent of families whoapply for financial aid willreceive it, so don’t delay ineducating yourself about theprocess, and how to positionyour family for maximumeligibility.

If it is true that peopleoften only read the first fewlines of an article, then let mesay it right up front. There is

no mannafrom heaven.There are nosweepstakesthat you winover thephone andhave to sendyour lifesavings toget, ever.And, thatkind, sweetconvincing

voice on the other end of theline is, no doubt, sitting in ahuge call center in anothercountry, meeting quotas andcelebrating the victory whenyou are scammed out of ev-ery cent you worked hard tosave for so many years.

You may think this couldnever happen to someone youknow, but it often does andgoes unreported to authori-ties and, especially, to adultchildren. If told, adult chil-dren respond with disbelief,anger and dismay toward theparent when they cannotbelieve that a smart parentcould have fallen for such athing. Frankly, there is nodegree of intellectual or so-cio-economic boundaries thatdifferentiate those who arescammed by relentless conthieves. Falling prey is easy.

In many cases, hardwork-ing retired Americans havelost upwards of more than$100,000 before realizingthere is no gold at the end ofthe rainbow; that everythingthey have worked for is gone.

A common scam is the“You won the lottery” scam,wherein the person answer-ing the phone is told that hejust won $1.3 million (or an-other random amount) andafter much hoopdilah of con-gratulations and celebration,the caller indicates that youare, however, responsible forthe taxes; but, they will even

send you a check to cover thetaxes. You get the check, cashit at your bank and by thetime it gets to the other coun-try and it returns to yourbank noting “no such ac-count,” you’ve already sent aboatload of cash to them.

One call that recentlycame to my home was fromsomeone purporting to befrom the U.S. Treasury; notunlike the IRS call, insistingthat I return the call and thatit was of dire importance. Idid not. If you return the call,they get your personal in-formation - like birth dateand Social Security number -and, threaten that you owethe government money, and ifyou don’t send it immediately,you will be arrested.

I am always amazed thatthe “grandson/daughter”calling from another countryis used so often. The callerindicates that he/she is yourgrandson/daughter, startingwith “Grandma?” and theresponse is “Trevor, Trevor, isthat you?” Of course, thisperson is now “Trevor” andbefore you know it, you’vewired $20,000 into anothercountry to get him out ofprison, and he has beggedyou not to call his parents.

It is the holidays. Let’s bethankful for all we have, butdiligent in protecting it. So,hang up the phone. Generally,the caller moves on to thenext potential victim andwon’t waste time with you.Occasionally, they can bethreatening and persistent.Do not let them hang up thephone on the other end of theline and laugh to their friendsin the call center that theyscammed another trustingAmerican. Please share thismessage with every personyou know and care about inhelping them to protect theirhard-earned savings.

Cindy Gramke is the exec-utive director/CEO of Cler-mont Senior Services.

BETHEL – After a fourth-place finish atstate last year, Bethel-Tate swimmer Gra-cyn McQueary was eager to jump back inthe pool for her junior season.

The Tigers’ lone swimmer, McQuearytrains with Anderson High School headcoach Ed Bachman of the Kingfish AquaticClub. She surpassed expectations last sea-son, and knows that the bar has been raisedin 2015-16. After placing fourth in DivisionII in the 100 yard breaststroke, McQuearyis aiming for the top time this season.

“We’re trying to downplay real high ex-pectations,” said Bachman. “She had a phe-nomenal season last year. I think she has areal possibility of becoming a high schoolstate champion."

To reach that next level, Bachman pro-moted McQueary to a higher traininggroup over the summer. A multi-sport ath-lete, McQueary struggled initially adjust-ing to the higher level of swimming compe-tition. She was competing against manytop-level swimmers who train in the pool 12months a year. Also the only female golferat Bethel-Tate, she was unable to commit topracticing just one sport over the summer.Since the golf season ended, she has steadi-ly progressed in the pool. Her coach ispleased with the results he has seen overthe past month.

“Gracyn is extremely talented,” saidBachman. “She’s one of those athletes whoputs a little more work in and gets a lot ofresults.”

Soon, she will travel to Nashville to com-pete in a big regional competition. That in-vitational will give McQueary an idea ofwhere she stacks up against some of thebest breaststroke swimmers in the region,as well as show her how much work needsto be done between December and Febru-ary.

McQueary has also battled injurieseach of the past two seasons. She hopes tobe 100 percent heading into the 2016 post-season. Last year, she overcame hernerves to swim a 1:05.28 at the state prelimand a 1:06.48 in the final. She has two moreseasons to best that finish, but does notplan to wait until next season to realize herdream.

Last season, her goal was to reach thepodium in Canton as a sophomore. Missionaccomplished. This year, she wants to winit all.

» McNicholas can return Nick Rosen-baum, Rick Riede Jr. and diver SalvatoreMarino from last year’s team.

Rosenbaum and Marino representedthe Rockets at the district meet last sea-son. Marino finished 10th at the districtmeet at Miami University and was secondteam All-GCL Co-ed.
