Workers clear snow on Eastgate Boulevard, where they are tearing down a bridge to make way for a new one over state Route 32.JEANNE HOUCK/THE COMMUNITY PRESS UNION TWP. — Weather per- mitting, ramp and road closures will be in place beginning Tues- day, Feb. 18, so work to improve the Interstate 275 and state Route 32 interchange can pro- ceed.

BRIEFLY

Batavia has decidedagainst pursuing a poten-tially costly lawsuitagainst Clermont County.At issue is back taxes ontwopropertiesnowownedby the village, one onClark Street and anotheron Old State Route 32.

Batavia acquired bothproperties through the

forfeiture process and didnot pay the back taxes, asthe law said at the time.

But a January 2013opinion issued byOhio At-torney General Mike De-Wine says political subdi-visions should pay taxeson forfeited properties.And even though Bataviatook over the both proper-ties before the opinionwas issued, ClermontCounty officials still wantthe village to pay those as-sessments.

The tax bills are rough-ly $8,200 for the ClarkStreet property, and about$386 for the one on Old

State Route 32.BataviaSolicitorChris-

topher Moore said thebulkof thosepropertytax-es, if paid, would comeback to thevillage, and thelegal fees associated withthiswould exceed the costof the assessments.

He estimated it wouldtake 10-20 hours of legalwork to fight for the vil-lage’s principles on this is-sue, which are that thosetaxesshouldbewaivedbe-cause theydeternewown-ers from improvingblighted properties in thecommunity.

“At 20 hours, you’d

clearly spendmore to findout ifyou’reright thanyouwould spend to just say,the heck with it,” Mooresaid, adding these are theonly two properties in thisparticular situation.

Because the forfeiturestatue is now being inter-preted this way by the at-torney general and Cler-mont County, Moore saidit adds about a year to theprocess of a property re-turning to agoodusewith-in the community.

If a property is in par-ticularly bad shapeMooresaid Batavia could moveforward by declaring it anuisance.

“We could tear it down,leave thevacant lot and letthe county continue tohold the bill,” he said. “Bydeclaring it a nuisancenow there is nothing thereandthesafetyconcernhasbeen eliminated.”

That process, he point-ed out, would result in anew assessment on thepropertyandahighercostfor a potential new owner.

Councilman Steve Sta-

ton said on many of theseproperties the taxes oftenexceed the property valueand they are net tax liabil-ities, even to the county.

“All they’ve done isadded an extra step,” Sta-ton said. “We still have thepotential to get (proper-ties) fee-free, but it’s un-fortunate because the billwas designed to expeditethese things.”

This isn’t the first time

this issue has come up inBatavia. A previous casewas settled before a judgecould issue an opinion.

Another, regarding anow defunct Masoniclodge onEastMain Street,led to Village Council de-claring that property anuisance and demolishingthe building.

Clermont County offi-cials were unable to bereached for comment.

New Richmond Ex-empted Village SchoolDistrict SuperintendentAdam Bird kept thinkingsomething was missingwhen he arrived at workat the district central of-fice on the third floor ofthe Market Street School.

“There was nothing toidentify our office to visi-tors arriving at the frontdesk,” noted Bird whenlooking at the blank wallabove the reception desk.With so many talented artstudents in the districtthere had to be someonewho could fix the problemso he approached NewRichmond High Schoolart teacherAmyHausser-man for a suggestion.

It didn’t take Hausser-man long to find the rightperson for the job: seniorart student ChristinSmith.

Smith jumped at thechance toputherart skillsto work and leave hermark on her school dis-

trict.“I designed a couple

different signs on the

computer and showedthem to Mr. Bird,” saidSmith. “He picked partsfrom each and we incor-porated them into the fi-nal design.”

Smith, who has appliedfor admission to the Uni-versity of Cincinnati artschool, projected the finaldesign on the wall andthentracedthe lettersanddistrict emblemwith pen-cil which proved to be noeasy task since it had tobedone off a ladder with herarms elevated.

“I triedmy best to stayinside the lines when Ipainted the outline,” saidSmith, who performedher work during severalafter school sessions. “Itwasn’t easy because allthe work was overhead.”

Bird had one word forher effort:, “Perfect.”

“Christin is a great artstudent and I am thankfulthat she was willing to do-nate her time to this pro-ject,” said Bird.

MT. WASHINGTON — Frustra-tion kept him from seeing thebest shot he ever made.

McNicholas High Schoolbowler Cameron Roesel had an8-10 split last season. He felt herolledhissecondballpoorlyandturned away, never seeing theball nick one pin and send itacross the lane into the other topick up the spare.

If anyone knows frustration,it’s Roesel. He had plenty of itdealing with a neurological dis-order called Charcot–Marie-

–Tooth disease. CMT affectsabout 1 in 2,500 people andcauses progressive muscle de-generation, typically in the legsand feet.

Roesel had to have surgeryin 2012 to repair the hip jointthatpoppedoutofsocketasare-sultof thedisease.Hehasplatesand screws in the hip now, butspent time in a wheelchair be-fore therapyhelpedhim towalkagain.

“There were times when itwas him rolling down the hallsat McNick instead his ball roll-ing down the lane,” said BryanCombs, McNick head coach.“All of us, students and adults,could learn something aboutperseverance from Cam.”

Roesel never thought of quit-

ting. And when a screw inhis foot leftoverfromsur-gery began causing himpain this fall and doctorssaid another operationwas needed to remove it,he consulted with his par-ents and coach and decid-ed to postpone the proce-dure until after the sea-son.

“It’s the sport least af-fected by the CMT,” Roe-sel said. “When I don’t doanything, that’s when itgets worse, so I’m glad tohave the chance to stayactive. It’s good to be able

to participate. I like theteamand howwe all cometogether. (My foot) hurts,but it’s good to be able toparticipate with theseguys.”

Roesel has anotherpassion, too.

“I love to fish,” theAmelia resident said. “Ifish all year, but when theweather gets stupid Icome in to bowl.”

And bowl well. Sopho-more Matthew Massieleads the Rockets with a175.5 pins-per-game aver-age, but Roesel is lessthan a pin behind him at174.6.

“Cam has really comeon his senior year,”Combs said. “He’s raised

his average about 30 pinsfrom last year. A lot ofthat is just hard work andsomeof that is just havingmore opportunities tobowl. We had four strongseniors last year, so thereweren’t as many chancesfor him. Roesel attributedthe improvement to addi-tional practice andswitching to 15- and 16-pound balls after rolling12-pounders last year.

“It givesme thechanceto generate some morepower,” he said. “To actu-ally move the pins aroundthe lane instead of justbumping them.”

Roesel will have hisfoot surgery very soon af-ter the season.

Faith is demonstrated by our actions“The Ten Lepers” – This

story reminds us Christ doesgood to all, even to those whoare unthankful. But the long-term, eternal benefits of Godunto salvation only profitthose who are thankful, thosewho are forgiven.

So as Jesus begins his jour-ney he passes through Samar-ia, and even though the Jewsand Samaritans were enemies,Jesus favors them with hispresence. The lepers by lawwere to separate themselvesfrom all others in society, butthat did not stop them fromsocializing among themselve-s…even in their leprosy theydesired company and compan-ionship.

Typically Jews had no so-cial interaction whatsoever

with the Sa-maritan’s, yet,the “leprosy”gave them acommon bond.Sin being theworst of allleprosies, as itseparatesthose whocling to it; itseparates usfrom God.

The lepers stood afar off asthe law demanded, but theirneed compelled them to cryout, “…Jesus, Master, havemercy on us.” By crying out toour Lord they were demon-strating a modicum of faith asthey believed He had the abil-ity to cure them.

Luke 17:14, “…go show

yourselves to the priests. Andit came to pass, that, as theywent, they were cleansed.”Notice, “...as they went, theywere cleansed.” It was anactive act of faith. Not one ofthem would have been healedhad they disobeyed.

Why did you cry out toJesus? Did you not believe hewas capable to forgive? Thisis made all the more climacticas leprosy “dries” the bron-chial tubes making it extreme-ly difficult to speak at all.They responded to what theyheard. Have you?

It is not enough to hear theword; you must act on it, as“faith is demonstrated byactions.” They accepted thehealing as accomplished eventhough they had not actually

received it, but their cure didnot compel them all to praisethe One who had effected thecure.

Sadly, only one man, a Sa-maritan, was sensible of thepower of God and grateful forhis healing, immediatelyturned back to express hisgratitude. Did we turn back tothank our Lord? Did we showour gratitude?

We should never be late inour payment of thankfulnessto our Lord, as God considersthat ingratitude. We need tolearn the dutiful response ofthis Samaritan, and that it isbetter to go the right wayalone, than error with themasses.

Luke 17:17, “…but whereare the nine?” Where are

those who have given theirlife to Christ? How many everreturn to give thanks? Howmany continue in service?This lesson of ingratitude ispowerful…it is personal. Whata striking illustration of hu-man nature at its worst.

Again, the stranger, theoutcast, was the only one tostop and return to give thanksto our Lord. His faith led himto believe. His faith led him torepentance. His faith led himto praise God.

Thankfulness should al-ways be in our hearts and onour lips.

While many older adultsare well organized and per-fectly independent, othersmay struggle a little moreduring winter depending ontheir age and overall health.

And, while most of us arefortunate enough to havefriends and family livingclose or within a phone call oremail’s distance who regular-ly check on our well-being,many older adults who are nolonger able to get out havebecome isolated from neigh-bors and friends.

During the recent blast offrigid air and plummetingtemperatures, many arearesidents were without elec-tricity and, therefore, with-out heat.

Clermont Senior Servicescase managers and otherstaff spent the coldest ofthose days calling the peoplewe serve to assure their safe-ty, but you can also do yourpart to help protect elderlyneighbors and friends toensure that they have the

resourcesthey need tostay safe andhealthy.

Olderadults areespeciallyvulnerable tohypothermiabecause theirbodies’ re-sponse to cold

can be diminished by un-derlying medical conditions,such as diabetes and certainmedications, including over-the-counter cold remedies.

Signs of hypothermia in-clude slowed or slurredspeech; sleepiness or confu-sion; shivering or stiffness inthe arms and legs; poor con-trol over body movements;and/or slow reactions, or aweak pulse.

Avoiding this dangeroussituation by making a habit ofchecking on an older neigh-bor or friend will go a longway to assure his/her safety.When you visit, make certain

the home is warm enough.You can suggest that the

thermostat be set to at least68 to 70 degrees. Even homeswith temperatures from 60 to65 degrees can lead to hypo-thermia in older people.

Check to make sure theheating system is working,and there are adequatemeans to keep the temper-ature in the home in a com-fortable range.

And, make sure there areno heating devices in areas ofthe home that could pose afire risk or carbon monoxidepoisoning risk.

Ask specific questionsabout the way the older adultfeels to determine if medicalattention is needed. It’s im-portant to determine whetherhe/she depends upon oxygen,and you can ask if your friendneeds medications and/ormedical supplies.

Ask whether there is ade-quate food in the house and ifthere is access to non-perish-able food that can be pre-

pared without electricity, ifneed be. You also want tomake sure that there is ac-cess to clean drinking water.

Make sure they can gethelp, if needed. Is theresomeone identified to call forhelp if needed?

Phones need to be acces-sible and in working order.Remember, cordless phoneswill not work if the powergoes out. And, if the cell isthe primary phone, makecertain that you suggest thatit is kept fully charged.

All of us can make a differ-ence in making sure that ourolder neighbors and friendsare safe. Take five minutes tostop by.

You might even take a fungift basket, complete with aflashlight, snacks, bottledwater and a card with yourphone number.

Just after the 2012 election,the White House “We-The-People” website got more than63,000 signatures for a re-count in Ohio. Fox Newsclaimed that in one Ohio coun-ty President Obama received106,258 votes...but there wereonly 98,213 eligible voters.

There was another claimthat in 21 districts in WoodCounty, Ohio, Obama received100 percent of the votes, whileGOP inspectors were illegallyremoved from their pollinglocations. Fox News wentwild.

In September 2013, after ayear’s investigation JohnHusted appeared on Fox &Friends noting that his officediscovered that contrary toDemocratic claims, there wasNO voter suppression. On theother hand the state’s boardsof elections identified andreported 625 voting irregular-ities. Of these, 135 were re-ferred to the state, for legalaction.

Recentlythe Enquirerrevisited Ohiovoting which,in turn, gener-ated lettersfrom readerspointing outthat many ofthe levy issuespassed byvery narrow

margins and voter fraudwould really matter in thoseinstances.

Presumably illegal alienscould sway a levy by illegallyvoting for their kids to get afree ride to school, a freelunch and possibly a freefraudulent breakfast thrownin!

The Enquirer noted thatthere were 4,960,350 votescast in 2012. Husted’s statis-tics show that .01 percent ofthe votes cast were possiblyfraudulent. Of course this islower than the original claim,but a fraudulent vote is fraud

nonetheless. And I am here tosay that voter fraud in Ohio isalive and well.

The Legislature is workinghard on voter fraud. The billsthe Enquirer summarizedshow that people without carsor adequate public transporta-tion, or with jobs that don’tallow time off will have aharder time voting. Thosewith cars and the ability to gettime off will have no prob-lems.

But the real vote fraud willnot be touched by those bills –they will only discourage poorpeople and minorities fromvoting for Democrats.

In 2012, the vote total forthe Ohio Legislature Housewas 2,525,660 for the Demo-crats and 2,434,689 for theRepublicans; a total of4,960,350 votes cast (disre-garding votes for other-partycandidates).

The raw total was 50.9 per-cent for the Democrats, and49.1 percent for the Repub-

licans; a majority where de-mocracy is respected – a start-ing point in Ohio.

The Rs wound up with 60seats, and the Ds with 39.Clearly a D vote was worthless than an R vote. Every Dvote worked out in reality as0.76 of a vote, whereas everyR vote worked out as 1.24votes.

Thus in Ohio every fourRepublican votes equaled sixDemocrat votes. Not unlikethe three-fifth’s compromisein the original Constitution.

A Civil War ended thatformula – a civil war that theTPers would undoubtedlyhave Ohio switch sides on if itwere held today.

The Supreme Court re-quired one man one vote inReynolds v. Sims, in 1964.Republicans may comearound to one-man-one-votesome day, but until then legal-ized cheating works just fine.

Feb. 5 questionThe Bengals have asked Ham-

ilton County for control of thenaming rights to Paul BrownSta-dium. Should the county turnover the naming rights? Why orwhynot?Whatnameswouldyousuggest for the stadium?

“My simple answer is no,but I would urge both sides tonegotiate. I can understandthat naming rights are a valu-able asset and since the countyowns those rights they shouldnot just give them away.

On the other hand, I can ap-preciate the Bengals not want-ing to play in a stadium thatmight bear a name not consis-tent with their team or theNFL. Personally I like the cur-rent name, Paul Brown Stadi-um, and wish that sign on thestadium was more prominentthan the current one.”

SCHNITZER

February 11 will mark 70years of marriage forGeorge and Mary JaneSchnitzer. They plan tocelebrate on February 15with their children, grand-children and great-grandchildren.

Today is a bread bak-ing day. The idea actuallystarted yesterday whenmy friend Joanie Manzo,a Loveland reader,brought me a loaf of

homemadecinnamonbread.Divine! Soit got me inthe breadbakingmood. Ididn’t havetime forcinnamonbread butknew I’d

have time to make thiseasy recipe for Italianbread. I kept one loaf forus and sent the other toTony and Debbie, ourneighbors. With thiswicked icy weather, awarm loaf of bread witha bowl of steaming stewis a comforting supper.

Italian bread forbeginners andeveryone else

I like this recipe forits simplicity. The flavorand texture is like thekind you get at a bakery.The crust is a bit crispand pale gold. I’m givingdetailed instructionshere. Check out my blogfor tips on kneading andstep-by-step photos. Ifyou want, sprinkle poppyseeds on the bread aftershaping.

1package (1⁄4 oz.) active dryyeast

2 cups warmwater (110degrees to 115 degrees)

Pinch of sugar to feed yeast1 teaspoon sugar2 teaspoons salt51⁄2 cups all-purpose flour

Stir yeast in warmwater, adding a pinch ofsugar to “feed” the yeast.It’s ready when it looksfoamy on top, a fewmin-utes. Pour into mixingbowl and add sugar, saltand 3 cups flour. Beat onmedium speed for 3 min-utes. Pour in remainingflour and mix on low toform soft dough. On verylightly floured surface,knead until smooth andelastic, about 8 minutesor so. It may be sticky at

first, but will get smooth,like a baby’s bottom.Place in greased bowl,turning once to greasetop. Cover and let rise inwarm place until dou-bled, about 1 hour or so.

Punch dough down.Divide in half. Shapeeach into a loaf. Thereare two ways to do this:Simply make loaf shapewith your hands about 12inches long, or roll doughinto an approximate 12-inch by 7-inch rectangle.Roll up tightly from longside, pinch seams to sealand place seam sidedown on sprayed orparchment-lined pan.Cover and let rise untildoubled, 30-45 minutes.With sharp knife, makefour shallow slashesacross top of loaf. Bakeat preheated 400 degreesfor 20-25 minutes, oruntil golden.

Tips» Make this by hand?

Of course, and you get aworkout, too!

» Measure accurately.Flour settles as it sits.Whisk a bit or stir beforemeasuring. Measure byspooning lightly into cupand leveling off withknife.

» Howwarm is 110-115

degrees? Best to use aninstant read thermom-eter, which is inexpen-sive and accurate. Wateris just right when you putsome on your wrist andit’s warm enough for ababy to drink from abottle.

» How to tell whendough is doubled. Risingtime is a guide only. Usefingers to make indenta-tion about 1⁄2 inch intodough. If the indentationremains, the dough hasdoubled. For the secondrise after shaping, makea small indentation in thedough near its side. If thedent remains, the doughis ready to bake.

Good-for-you eggscramble

Adapted from an EllieKrieger recipe. Februaryis heart month, so here’sa recipe that fills the billfor health but doesn’tsacrifice flavor. I likethis stuffed into a wholewheat pita spread withmashed avocado andsprinkled with a littleFeta.

Olive oil1⁄2 cup red onion, diced2 Roma tomatoes, diced4 whole eggs4 egg whites

Palmful fresh dill, chopped,or 1 teaspoon dried leaves

Salt and pepper

Film nonstick panwith olive oil, about atablespoon. Add onionand cook a couple ofminutes until soft, then

add tomatoes and cookanother minute. Put inbowl and set aside. Beateggs together. Pour intoskillet and cook untilalmost set, stirring fre-quently. Drain excessliquid from tomato mix-ture and stir into eggs.

Stir in dill, season totaste.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Freezing avocados:Yes, you can. JungleJim’s had them on sale soI bought a lot, mashedthe flesh, squirted withlemon juice to keep thecolor and froze it.

Howdy Folks;This winter doesn't

seem to be letting up, butsome day it will be in the80s, I will be happy whenthat happens.

We took Chester to thevets to have him neu-tered; he wasn't a veryhappy kitten. This morn-ing we could not givehim anything to eat.

I said to Ruth Ann,“Can't we give him alittle something to eat?”She said no, well, I feltsorry for him, we puthim in the carrier and hecried all the way up tothe vets.

The Brown Countydog warden's truck wasthere with a couple dogsto have them neutered;there were at least fouror five dogs that came in

while wewere thereand a ladycame inwith twocats to beneutered.

A younglady thatworksthere, herfolks be-

long to the OwensvilleHistorical Society. Thisgal is a very fine person,along with the otherladies.

We need to have ouranimals neutered orspayed to help controlthe burden of so manyanimals. We love our catand miss him as I writethe article, but Michellejust called and said wecan pick him up anytime

after 3 til 5. It is lone-some without him.

While setting in theliving room, yesterday, Isaid to Ruth Ann it lookslike the Pine Tree has bigwhite blooms on it. Thatwas snow, of course, justteasing Ruth Ann.

Last Saturday, wewent to a Lions Clubmeeting at Carlisle, Ohio,with Clark and Miriam;there is a lot of work todo in the Lions Club andseveral meetings.

We were at Grant'sfarm this morning, Ilooked in there nurseryand the tomatoes wereabout two inches tall, boydid that look good, theyhave cabbage and broc-coli plants growing too.

The weather this af-ternoon is to get ice here,

and to the north of Cin-cinnati, will get snow,this snow we got lastSunday night we had 2inches, Georgetown andon up had about 6 inches.

It seems strange howthe weather can hit somefolks and not get others.They said Blanchesterhad very little snow, asthey say, that's the waythe cookie crumbles.

We have several pro-jects to do in the car-penter shop at this time,we have a different styleof bird feeder to build, Iam excited to get onedone.

On our trip this morn-ing we got some kero-sene, or coal oil, for thecarpenter shop, andstopped at Carneys feedMill to get a couple bags

of bird seed. They mixtheir own and it is suregood.

The free meal at theBatavia United Method-ist Church will be onSaturday, Feb. 15, from11 a.m. till 1 p.m., theyserve a fine meal as dothe folks at the BethelUnited MethodistChurch each Saturdayfrom11 a.m. till 1 p.m.
