Five months after he set a goal of running a 5K race, the 17-year-old Batavia teen with cerebral palsy not only finished a race. He finished the Paner- athon 5K in Mason with a time of 30:20, his personal best. For his efforts Sunday, Sept. 21, Austin received a certificate for a pair of Skechers running shoes. He also earned an invita- tion to one of Rodney Atkins’ shows when the country singer read in The Enquirer that the teen listens to his music when he runs. More importantly, Austin grew during his journey. He de- veloped self confidence, and he inspired those around him, in- cluding dozens of friends, fam- ily, Batavia Local Schools’ em- ployees and staff at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center who wore the “Austin’s CP Warriors” T-shirts that the teen designed for race day. “He pushed it all the way,” said fellow runner, Dr. Jilda Vargus-Adams, who directs Children’s CP Clinic and has known Austin for 10 years. “At the end, he sprinted off like no- body’s business. He’s all heart.” When Austin was born, a stroke triggered a form of cere- bral palsy that affected his mus- cle strength, flexibility and co- ordination on the right side of his body, making it difficult for him to run. He also got winded easily, and he struggled to keep up with others during outings. He never gave up. During a therapy session last April at Children’s, Austin set a goal of running in a 5K race. He worked tirelessly to get in shape, his therapists said. He walked on a treadmill. He prac- ticed skipping and jumping, and he moved rings from one cone to another with his foot. But most of all, he ran. Austin ran up and down a big hill as Children’s doctors and nurses clapped for him. He ran in the August heat and the rain. Every weekend, he ran the trail at Lunken Airport with a team of volunteers from the hospi- tal’s CP clinic.

Family dependency treat- ment courts in 16 other Ohio counties, as well as nationally, have shown success in keeping parents sober and in reuniting families separated mainly be- cause of parents’ drug issues, supporters say. Nationally, the number of heroin users is up 75 percent from five years ago, and Ohio’s overdose death rate is growing faster than the nation’s, Shriver said. In 2013, Clermont County had the highest unintentional opiate death rate in Ohio, the judge said. The county also had the state’s largest increase in deaths from opiate overdoses between 2000 and 2010. “Last year in the Clermont County Juvenile Court, we saw a 64 percent increase in the number of case filings from children’s services,” Shriver said. “At last count, there were 333 children in placement.

»What it’s about: Ad-ditional 1.5-mill continu-ing levy for fire andEMSservice for Bethel-Tatefire and EMS service

»What it would do:The levy is expected tobring in an additional$234,000 a year, which isabout 21 percent of theBethel-Tate Fire Depart-ment’s annual $1.1millionbudget. If it passes, thetownship would start re-ceiving the additionalrevenues next July.

»How things are now:The fire department isoperating on leviespassed in the 1970s andearly 1990s. Departmentcostshavegoneupbut in-comehasgonedownwiththe loss of local govern-

ment funding and fore-closed homes.

»How much it willcost: It would cost theowner of a home with amarket value of $100,000an additional $52.50 a

year.» Argument for: The

levy would enable thefire department to keepcurrent staffing and pro-grams and pay for need-ed equipment. If the levyfails, staffing, whichmakes up 85 percent ofthebudget,wouldhave tobe cut. That would meanlonger response timesfor fire and ambulanceservice.

» Argument against:There is no organized op-position. Taxes wouldstay the same if the levyfails.

»Who’s for it: Ananonymous donor hascovered the cost of signssupporting the proposedlevy. In2002,whena locallife squad organizationdissolved, leavingtheBe-thel-Tate Fire Depart-ment to operate both fire

and ambulance service,Tate Township trusteesput on a levy to cover thecost of 24/7 ambulanceservice and it passed by79 percent.

Also supportingAustinwas Jen Schmit, one of hisphysical therapists atChildren’s who often runswith him.

Austin’s father,Wayne,compared her to thecoach in the movie “Re-member the Titans” who

was described as “theright guy for this job.’’

“Of all the therapiststhat Austin’s worked withthrough the years, Jen’spushed him the hardestthrough all this,” WaynePorter said. “Anytimeyouasked him, ‘Who do youwant to have an appoint-ment with?’ or ‘Who doyou want to run with?’ itwas Jen.”

Schmit is proud thatAustin could run the 5Kfaster than many whodon’t have a physical dis-ability. Speed isn’t every-thing, she said.

“We thank (Austin) forhis inability to perceivehurdles,” she wrote in anemail. “We thank him forreminding us that fewthingsareoutof therealmof possibility. And wethank him for remindingus to carry ourselves for-ward (unless we are prac-ticing walking back-wards).”

The new court willserve about 15 families atany given time.

“We would like to startwith around five to sevenfamilies, but we’ll startwhenever we have peoplewho are ready for the pro-gram,” Livesay said.

To qualify, a partici-pant has to havehadhis orher children removedfrom the home by Cler-mont County Children’sProtective Services be-cause of the parent’smod-erate to severe drugprob-lem. as Narcotics Anony-mous.

AMELIA — One game doesnot make a season.

No one knows that betterthan the Amelia High Schoolfootball team who began theschool year getting clobberedby Glen Este 56-14 Aug. 29.

Randy Hospelhorn’s Bar-ons then rebounded to winfour-straight games before a24-13 loss against a toughNewRichmond team. Even there,the Barons trailed only 14-13going to the final frame.

Three of Amelia’s fourstraight came on the road: atClermont Northeastern, Wil-liamsburg and Blanchester.

“Every game is tough,”Hospelhorn said. “You’ve gotto prepare and play hard ev-ery ballgame. There’s nothingeasy out here.”

The season could be Ame-lia’s best Southern BuckeyeConference showing since theback-to-back 5-5 marks of2010 and 2011. The Baronsmoved tot he SBAAC from theold Fort Ancient Valley Con-ference to level out the play-ing field and face teams withsimilar numbers.

In their final FAVC year in2009, they were 1-9. Theyslumped to 2-8 last season, but

could have their best SBAACshowing ever with a strongOctober finish.

“There’s not a game on ourschedule that I don’t considertough,” Hospelhorn said. “Ifyou don’t prepare like it’s achampionship game, you’regoing to get beat. The kidshave to be ready. Anyone canget beat on any Friday night.”

One of the better-preparedAmelia Barons has been sen-ior receiverGarrettWeaver; areliable recipient of seniorTy-ler Nicodemus’ aerial attack.

“Garrett’saverygoodplay-er and works hard in prac-tice,”Hospelhornsaid. “Theseseniors are really leading theway for us. It still comes downto you’ve got to prepare andplayeverydown.You’vegot totackle and you’ve got toblock.”

Tyler Nicodemus is in hissecond year as Amelia’s quar-terback and sophomore KyleNicodemus is waiting in thewings.TheBaronsdon’t throwthe ball as frequently as otherschools, but Tyler Nicodemusand Weaver have been an ef-fective connection.

“I told himat the end of lastseason that I expected morefromhim,”Hospelhorn saidof

After shutting out Go-shen 3-0 Oct. 9, the LadyLions improved to 13-3-0(8-2-0) and finished upsecond in the SouthernBuckeye Conference,American Division. Ame-lia is first in the confer-ence with an undefeatedrecord of 10-0 in leagueplay.

Chris Malotke said. “Allthree of our goals havebeen accomplished.”

Those goals being;have over 10 wins, be inthe top 10 in the leagueand top 10 in the city.

“I’m proud of how wellwe’ve come together, andhow hard we’ve played,”New Richmond juniorCydney Stiles said. “Weonly have three losses sothat speaks to the chemis-try we have.”

The Lady Lions alsohave nine shutout gamesthis season, and have onlyallowed six goals in 13games.

“These girls are play-ingwithmore confidence,but this is a sport where

anything can happen,”Malotke said.

For Malotke the turn-ing point of the seasonhappened during the Ba-tavia game early on in theseason. The Lady Lionswere 1-1 at that point, butthey hadn’t found them-selves yet, according toMalotke.

As he said, soccer is asport where anything canhappen and the “lightwent on for us.”

SUNBURY, Ohio — Stay-ing locked into the task athand rarely has had aspositive of a result forMcNicholas sophomoreTy DeBonis as it did thisweekend.

After shooting 80 onFridayduring theopeninground of the Division IIstate tournament on OhioState’s Scarlet Course,DeBonis turned in a 75that was the best scoreduringthefinal roundSat-

urday and ended up tiedfor fourth with a 155.

The performanceearned him first-team all-Ohio honors.

“I really actually didn’teven know howwell I wasdoing,” DeBonis said. “Idon’t usually pay atten-tion to the scores. I juststayed focused andplayed my game.”

Notre Dame-CathedralLatin freshman CharlieToman followed his open-ing-round 74 with a 79 onSaturday that gave himoverall medalist honors

with a 153.“I kind of saw that (De-

Bonis) lookeda littlemorerelaxed today,” coachJus-tin Lenczicki said. “Heknew he was in the huntandwasdefinitelychamp-ing at the bit to get first-team honors.”

DeBonis’ performancehelpedMcNicholas earn asixth-place overall teamfinish with a 668. TheRockets were ninth head-ing into the final round.

NEWTOWN — Thanks to theleadership of a pair of seniors,Miami Valley Christian Acad-emy cruised through the regu-lar season.

The Lions posted a 20-2 over-all record and went undefeatedagainst Ohio Valley AthleticLeague competition. The other-wiseyoungsquad is ledbyexpe-rienced seniors Katie Park andGrace Simunek. They havemade sure that their final sea-son is a memorable one.

Park and Simunek havestarted on the varsity sincetheir freshman season. Theyhave lost just seven matchesover the past three seasons.With MVCA’s return to the OH-SAA, the Lions will compete inthe postseason with a chance towin a state championship. Theprogrammight not be in this po-sition without its two reliableseniors.

“They have become greatleaders as they have pro-gressed,” said head coach AmyGill. “It will be tough to replacethem.”

Their teammates have fol-lowedtheir lead.TheLionsstarttwo freshmen, a sophomore,and one junior alongside Parkand Simunek. The seniors haveembraced their roles

“I can definitely tell a differ-ence in the relationships withthe girls by how they look up tome,” said Simunek.

“I felt like I should be a lead-er and take advantage of the op-portunity,” added Park. “It’sgreat to know that our team-mates look up to us.”

Starting as a freshmanseemed overwhelming at timesfor Park. She knows what it islike to go up against girls threeyears older, stronger, and moreexperienced. She has been ableto share her own experienceswith her young teammates thisseason.

“Starting varsity as a fresh-man was very intimidating forme,” saidPark. “I can relate andhelp (this year’s MVCA fresh-men).”

For Park, the biggest adjust-

ment over the past four seasonshas been between the ears. Hergrowth has affected the entireteam. When she plays with con-fidence, her teammates followsuit.

“Through the years, I’verealized that I’m not going to beperfect. I’ve improved my atti-tude and my leadership,” saidPark. “We play amazing when

we stay positive.”On Oct. 1, the Lions defeated

Clermont Northeastern, one ofthe bigger schools andmore tal-ented teams on their schedule.The Lions rolled, winning inthree games. That win gave theteam even more confidence.Now, they need to keep playingthat well regardless of the de-greeofcompetitionprovidedby

their opponent.“If we can play like that, we

can beat a lot of good teams,”said Gill. “We are striving forthat level of play each match.”

The Lions want to make adeep tournamentrun tosendofftheir seniors on a high note. Theseniors hope that they havemade an impact that will carrytheir teammates for the nextfew years. Simunek hopes toleave a legacy of perseverance.

“I’d say to never give up nomatter what,” she said. “I hopethat our teammates think of usin a way that taught them to dothat and that they’ll carry thaton with their future teammatesas well.”

Help for dyslexiaAs proficient readers,

the process of reading hasbecome automatic and ef-fortless.

For many, however,learning to read is a pain-ful and frustrating under-taking. October is Nation-al Dyslexia AwarenessMonth which prompts meto share that one in 10 stu-dents will have difficul-ties learning to read,writeand spell.

Dyslexia is a life-long,language-based disabilitythat is not due to lackof in-telligence or motivation.It may result in difficul-ties with learning tospeak, learning lettersand their sounds, organiz-ing written and spokenlanguage, and with spell-ing.

Sadly, this condition of-ten goes unrecognized inschools. These childrenare often labeled “lazy,”“unmotivated” or worse.Thus begins a tragic aca-demic trajectory thatcould be avoided. Havingworked successfully withmany dyslexic students, itisclear thatwithappropri-ate instruction this dis-ability can be overcome.

Ifyouknowofachildoradult struggling withreading, writing, or spell-ing, there is good localhelp. The Ohio ValleyBranch of the Interna-tional Dyslexia Associa-tion offers many servicesfree to parents: a parentsupport group with infor-mational meetings, a par-ent support line, and a tu-tor referral service.

Now that the new school year isunder way, I want to update com-munity on what West Clermont isdoing to increase our effective-

ness as a districtof choice.

Fiscally,through the dedi-cation and sacri-fice of many, wehave righted ourfinancial ship.Employee payfreezes, a re-bounding econo-my and additionalsupport from lo-

cal and state governments havemovedour five-yearprojectedbal-ances into the positive column.This comes as a huge relief forboth our district and the communi-ties we serve.

As a result of our efforts, theOhio Department of Educationjust recently lifted the “fiscal cau-tion” designation from West Cler-mont. That being said, wewill con-tinue to scrutinize our expendi-tures looking for ways we canmake the most of every dollar wereceive.

According to the Ohio Depart-ment of Education Local Report

Card, West Clermont earned a “B”on both student academic perfor-mance and the number of catego-ries inwhich thedistrictwasprofi-cient in 2013-2014. We also scoredan“A”onmovingthelowest20per-cent of our students forward inachievement. These scores comein year that saw the “proficient”bar increase by five percent.

LRC results also demonstratethe need to work harder to in-crease achievement for our giftedstudents, students with disabili-ties, and students of color. Improv-ing the quality of academics is atthe heart of West Clermont.

Aswe continue towork onwaysto improve performance for allstudents, staff is working hard todevelop and implement newcourses at the high school level, toincrease reading scores at the ele-mentary level and to provide awell-rounded education for WestClermont’s 8,000 students.

Elementary students now enjoyart, music and physical education,at least once per month.

Kindergarten is now half day,every day, and families have theopportunity topay for full dayKin-dergartenand feebasedchildcare.

We continue to audit our facili-

ties tomakesure thatourbuildingshave the infrastructure to supportthe 21st Century education ouryoung people deserve.

While significant progress isevident, we have more work to do.Transportation of students to andfrom school in our 47-square-milegeographic areaprovides opportu-nities for improvement. Studentsmust master the knowledge re-quired to graduate fromAmelia orGlen Este, as well as possess theskills necessary to meet the de-mands of college, careers and themilitary.

Moving forward, we will en-gagebusiness leaders, parents andthe community at-large to help de-fine those skills andwork diligent-ly to incorporate them in the workwe do with students each day.

West Clermont will continue tolook at how we can improve thebusiness of educating studentswhile being fiscally responsible. Iam confident we aremoving in theright direction. We will continueworking diligently to improve thequality of education that preparesstudents for their future.

Keith Kline is superintendent of theWest Clermont School District.

Oct. 8 questionAre you worried about the Ebola

virus?What precautions are you tak-ing and what should public healthofficials be doing to prevent an epi-demic?

“I am worried about the Ebolavirus for our country. The presi-dent allows our borders to be wideopen. Islamic militants have nocompunction about dying for theircause. One militant infected withthe virus could infectmanyby justcrossing the border into Texas orArizona.”

Thomas Dean

Oct. 2 questionWhat is the best fall event or tra-

dition in the area? What makes itunique?

“For me fall is the culminationof a lot of the wonders of nature.The trees turning color and thendropping their leaves, perennial

plants hibernating or completelydisappearing, yet we know theywill be resurrected in the spring. Imiss the smell of burning leavesfrom childhood. Perhaps we canbring back that tradition?

“I look forward to taking somenice hikes in theCincinnatiNaturepreserve, which I recommend toall. Fall obviously leads us to win-ter, a time duringwhich thewimpsofCincinnati cry incessantlyabouthow frigid it is, even if only 32 de-grees. Wear a coat people and getover it. Yes itwill snow, but no, twoinches of snow does not mean weshut down theworld. Buy a shovel.But enough about wimps, let's justenjoy the regality that is fall.”

“Strong Today, Falls Free To-morrow” is thetheme for this na-tional observanceintended to raiseawareness abouthow to preventfall-related inju-ries among olderadults.

In my last col-umn, I shared in-formation aboutthe benefits of

having a personal emergency re-sponse system, worn around theneck or even around the wrist.Even more important than havingto summon emergency responsesupport because of a fall is to pre-vent it in the first place.

According to theNationalCoun-cil on Aging, “Older Ohioansshould not be limited by the fear offalling.

Falling is not a normal part ofaging and most falls can be pre-vented. Yet, it is not an exaggera-tion to call falls amongolder adultsan epidemic in Ohio. Falls are theleading cause of emergency roomvisits, hospitalizations and deathsfor Ohioans age 65 and older.”

“There are ways of enhancingyour balance, while having fun intheprocess.TheLifelongLearningCenters, located in Union Town-ship, Miami Township and Bethel,offer a variety of classes and pro-grams designed to help you withbalance,” said Brenda Dotson,manager of Lifelong LearningCenters for Clermont Senior Ser-vices.

The class, “Matter of Balance,”is specifically structured to re-duce the fear of falling and im-prove activity levels among olderadults. In this class, Judy Barnes,ACE senior fitness specialist, em-phasizes practical strategies tomanage falls. Participants learn toview falls as controllable, set goalsfor increasing activity, makechanges to reduce fall risk at homeand exercise to increase strengthand balance. The next eight weekseries begins at the Union Town-ship Lifelong Learning Center atthe Union Township Civic Centerfrom2p.m. to 4p.m.Tuesday, Sept.22. There is a cost of $25 for theeight-week series.

Barnes also teaches the“Strength &Balance” class, whereparticipants use tension bands,lightweights and small balls to im-prove mobility, strength and bal-ance. The class is presented at theUnionTownshipLifelongLearningCenters on Mondays and Thurs-

days from9a.m.until10a.m. and isfree of charge for SilverSneakersparticipating seniors; $5 for thosewith a VIPmembership and $7 fora guest. The same class is offeredat the East Clermont (BethelWoods) Lifelong Learning Centeron Tuesdays from 10:30 a.m. until11:15 a.m. and is $3 if you are not aSilverSneakers participant.

The Yoga Stretch class im-proves strength, balance, postureand range of motion and is alsofree of charge for SilverSneakersparticipating seniors; $5 for thosewith a VIPmembership and $7 foraguest and is offeredonFridays atthe Union Township Civic Centerfrom 9 a.m. until 10 a.m. Restor-ative breathing exercises and thefinal relaxation promotes stressreduction and mental clarity.

As I sit here typingthis column, I can lookout the window and seeFarmer Bruner bending

over topick day-glow or-angepumpkinsfrom thefield. I’mstill find-ing smallerpumpkinsand squashin the un-tended

remains of our veggiegarden.

There’s also a softlycolored mosaic of leavescovering the ground nearthe back of the herb gar-den. No doubt, autumn isin full swing. I supposethat’s why I’m gettingrequests for more breadrecipes. Nothing smellsbetter than a loaf ofwarm bread taken fromthe oven and slatheredwith butter. Or with theJarlsberg spread recipe Iam sharing, as well.

Small batch 100percent wholewheat bread

For Pete, who wanteda recipe for a single loafof 100 percent wholewheat bread.

He has my originalone for whole wheatbread that makes twoloaves, but he wanted asmaller batch. Make sureyou use high quality plain100 percent whole wheatflour, not partial wholewheat or anything inbetween.

1-1/8 cups lukewarmwater - start with 1 cup**

1/4 cup Canola oil1/4 cup honey3 -1/2 cups 100 percent

whole wheat flour2 -1/2 teaspoons rapid

rise/instant yeast, notregular active yeast

1/4 cup dried milkpowder

1 -1/4 teaspoons salt**In summer/humid

weather, usually 1 cup isenough. In cold/dryweather you may needthe additional two table-spoons.

Combine all ingredi-ents and stir until doughstarts to leave sides ofbowl. For easiest knead-ing, let dough rest for 20minutes in bowl; thisgives the flour a chanceto absorb some of theliquid, and the bran tosoften. Transfer to lightlygreased surface, oil yourhands, and knead for 6 to8 minutes, or until itbegins to become smoothand supple.

Note: This doughshould be soft, yet stillfirm enough to knead.Adjust its consistencywith additional water or

flour, if necessary.Transfer to lightly

sprayed bowl, cover, andallow to rise till puffythough not necessarilydoubled in bulk, about 1to 2 hours, depending onthe warmth of yourkitchen.

Transfer to lightlyoiled work surface, andshape into 8-inch log.Place in lightly sprayedor greased loaf pan, cov-er loosely with lightlysprayed plastic wrap,and allow to rise 1 to 2hours, or till the centerhas raised about 1 inchabove the rim of the pan.Towards the end of therising time, preheat theoven to 350°F.

Bake the bread for 35to 40 minutes, tenting itlightly with aluminumfoil after 20 minutes toprevent over-browning.The finished loaf willregister 190°F on an in-stant-read thermometerinserted into center.

Remove from oven,and turn out onto rack tocool. I like to rub hotcrust with a stick of but-

ter. Cool and eat.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

100 percent wholewheat is just that, withall of the bran, germ andendosperm intact. Yourbody absorbs it slower soyou feel fuller longer,plus it has a better gly-cemic index than whiteflour.

Jarlsberg spreadMy friend, Linda Grif-

fith, brought a containerof this spread for me totry.

“I love it and you canbuy it at some delis,” shetold me. Hmmm….check-

ing the ingredients on thelabel led me to believe Icould clone this reallyyummy spread, and I did.So here it is and it’s ver-satile – spread on toastand run under broiler orstir a spoonful into clearchicken broth. Or servechilled with crackers.

Blend together and letflavors mellow in refrig-erator several hoursbefore serving:

1/2 cup mayonnaise orbit more if needed

2 cups shredded Gru-yere or Swiss - if youwant the real deal, use

Gruyere1-2 tablespoons

minced red onionBit of chopped parsley

- opt.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Gruyere is a highquality, softer cheese, sochill it well before at-tempting to shred.

Howdy folks,Ruth Ann had another

dose ofchemo onMondayand she isdoinggood. NextMondayshe getsthe twodoses ofchemo andon Tuesdaythe shot.

I was watching thebird feeders. The one

that has thistle seed in itfor the Goldfinch. It isamazing how theychange colors. The Caro-lina chickadee, black-capped chickadee and agold finch are workingon the feeder.

Have you had thebattle with the stinkbugs? With the coolerweather they seem tohave found a place forwinter. While I was in thecarpenter shop I foundsome in a box. There wasa lady that said she

picked up her umbrellaand there were a bunchof them in it.

The other day RuthAnn and I were in thecarpenter shop. I neededsome lumber so I openedthe door to a lumbershed. Chester (the cat)ran in real quick. I shutthe door, the critters hadmade a hole in the bottomof the door. Later wecame to the house, after alittle while I went backlooking for Chester.When I got a good lookthere were two eyeslooking at me throughthe hole. I said come onto the house, he beat meto the door. With the rainand cooler weather Ches-ter likes to be in thehouse unless we are out-side. He wants to be withus.

We had a Lions Clubmeetingwith a good turn-out. The chief of policeMark Plank was a guestalong with our LionsDistrict Gov. Roger Dix-

on. Chief Plank gave areport on the construc-tion in Bethel.

On the way home Ihave never seen it rainany harder than it didwhen we got on Sug-artree Road. For a littlewhile we were drivingabout 20 miles per hour.Then it would let up, thencome harder again. Whenwe got home it stopped.That let us get in thehouse. Then it startedraining again. The rainlooked and sounded likehail, it was scary.

The fall garden isdoing good. The broccoliis starting to make heads.The green onions areabout ready to use. Theradishes are getting big-ger. The fall peas are 10inches tall. I hope theymake it, but if they don’tthey will make fertilizerfor the ground.

The lettuce is doinggood and Ruth Annmakes wilted lettuce. Ipicked the last of the

time of the year for thefall craft shows. So getsomemoney and try tobargain the crafters ontheir items.

Bethel Lions ClubPancake Breakfast willbe 7:30-10:30 a.m. Oct. 18at the Bethel Tate HighSchool. The price foradults is still $5 the menuis all the pancakes youcan eat, sausage, tatertots, orange juice coffeeor milk.

tomatoes, so we are put-ting some green toma-toes in the freezer forfried green maters.When there is snow onthe ground they will tasteso good.

We are starting towork in the carpentershop making thistle feed-ers. I have been thinkinghow to make them. Weare making them out ofcedar with Plexiglas forthe seed.

We have a craft showat St. Gertrude in Madei-ra Oct. 18, so we will beworking on bird feeders,wood bowls and otherwood items for theshows. Nov. 1 is the Rus-sellville Show. That is agood show with plenty ofcrafters. There are somefine food, and fellowship.
