He changed the res-taurant’s name to Ro-ney’s after its old ad-dress.

But Loftspring keptthe cowboy-themed de-cor and the menu of roastbeef sandwiches, friedchicken and hamburgers.

The new 2,900-square-foot Roney’s in Milfordwas built to celebrate therestaurant’s history –hence the western décorand horseshoe branding,said Chance Truemper,vice president of Cincin-nati United Contractors,Inc. of Sycamore Town-ship.

Whatever the newlyopened Roney’s in Mil-ford does to make itsfried chicken so good, 17-year-old Dylan Sammonshopes it never stops.

Asked recently whathad brought him and afriend to the new restau-rant operating under theold covered wagon signat 314 Chamber Drive,the Milford High Schoolsenior had this to say:

“The chicken is amaz-ing. It’s definitely theskin.”

Sammons, who lives inMilford, also is a fan ofthe roast beef sand-wiches at Roney’s, whichbegan its 50-year historyin the region as a RoyRogers restaurant.

Sharing Sammons’taste for Roney’s are theclutches of diehard cus-tomers who celebratedon Facebook pages like itwas Christmas wrappedup in the Fourth of Julywhen news came thatMilford had lassoed therestaurant after a leasedispute ended its happytrails in Mt. Carmel inMay 2014.

“You can tell the meat

is just higher quality,”Sammons said.

Milford is excited tobe the new home for the

iconic restaurant, in-terim City Manager PamHolbrook said.

“It is a win-win forboth Roney's and thecity,” Holbrook said.

“The restaurant has avery loyal following andour hope is that the Ro-ney's customers may alsotake the time to exploreother great areas in thecity.”

Roney’s is next to thenew UC Health Physi-cian’s Office and nearMilford Parkway.

Owner David Loftspr-ing had operated a RoyRogers restaurant at 474Roney Lane off stateRoute 32 in Union Town-ship after he took it overfrom his father in the late1970s.

Loftspring said he leftthe franchise in 2012

OCTOBER 28, 2015 • COMMUNITY JOURNAL • 5ANEWS

This still boggles my mind: Halloween is second onlyto Christmas as the most decorated holi-day. Not so when I was a kid. The housewasn’t decorated, and the eight girls in ourfamily were either witches or gypsies. Mybrother, Charlie, the last born, was alwaysa hobo. We used whatever we could find todress up and we left at dark, by ourselves,and came home with grocery paper bagsfull of treats.

Fast forward to Halloween 2015. Even ifparental rules are stricter, Halloween isstill so much fun! Here are last-minuterecipes for a ghoulishly good Halloween.

Homemade microwave popcornCheck out my Abouteating.com site. You won’t believe

how easy and inexpensive, not to mention healthy andamazingly tender it is. (Hint: 1/2 cup unpopped cornmakes a generous 8 cups, but there’s a secret technique!)

Homemade Halloween treats kids can help make‘Glowing’ swamp punch

Let the kids help. They love the creepycrawler ice ring.

1 cup boiling water2 packages, 4-serving size each, lime

gelatin3 cups cold water1-1/2 quarts carbonated lemon-lime

soda, chilled

Pour boiling water over gelatin and stiruntil dissolved. Stir in cold water. Pour intopunch bowl. Stir in soda, making mixturefizz.

Unmold ice ring by dipping bottom ofmold briefly into hot water. Float in punch.Serve cups garnished with gummy worms.

Creepy crawler ice ring1 cup gummyworms or other creepy crawler gummies

1 quart lemon-lime sports drink likeGatorade

Arrange gummy worms in bottom of5-cup ring mold; fill with Gatorade. Freezeuntil solid.

Black cat cookie pops

Again, let the kids help. Don’t worry iftheir cookies look like something other thancats. It’s about creativity and fun, not perfec-tion.

1 cup creamy peanut butter1/3 cup water2 eggs1 box chocolate cake mixPopsicle sticksSugarCandy corn, red hots

Preheat oven to 350. Beat peanutbutter with water and eggs. Add cake mixand mix. Form into 1-1/2” balls and place onsprayed cookie sheet. Push in a popsiclestick. Flatten with bottom of glass dipped insugar. Pinch two “ears” at top of cookie.Press fork into dough to form whiskers oneither side of nose. Bake 10-12 minutes.Remove from oven and immediately addcandy corn eyes and red-hot nose, pushingin gently. If they happen to fall off after theycool, glue them on with a little powderedsugar glaze or canned frosting. Makes 2-3dozen

My best caramel corn

This makes a lot so feel free to divide in half. Adding dried fruitelevates this to a new dimension.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees.

15-16 cups or so of popped cornAbout 3 cups salted mixed nuts2 sticks or butter2 cups brown sugar1/2 cup light corn syrup1/2 teaspoon salt1 tablespoon vanilla1/2 teaspoon baking soda2 cups dried cranberries, cherries or apricots (opt)

To avoid sticking, use vegetable spray to coat both inside oflarge bowl, cookie sheets and spoons that you will use. Put popcornand nuts in bowl. Set aside. Over medium heat in a large pan, bringto a boil everything but the soda. Boil 5 minutes. Add baking sodaand stir. Mixture will foam up. Immediately pour over popcorn mix-ture, stirring well to coat. Pour in a single layer onto sprayed cookiesheets. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to distribute coating.Let cool for coating to harden; add fruit, and store at room temper-ature in covered containers. Makes about 20 cups.

Tip from Rita’s kitchenAfter popping corn, place in colander or bowl and scoop up

popcorn gently with hands. Any unpopped corn will lie in bottom ofbowl.

Oct. 22 questionWho-dey? How far will the

Bengals go this year?

“Super Bowl 50 champs.” D.H.

“The Bengals will go fartherthan the Reds did, but thenagain, how hard can that be?They are playing well and win-ning consistently – Yay! Now, ifthey can keep the injuries to aminimum we might just havesomething in this team. Sincethey are playing so well andselling many seats, can we re-negotiate the asinine deal ourstupid city leaders agreed towith Mr. Brown? It is beyond ri-diculous for this city with itslevel of financial woes to have

to pay so much to keep a teamhere that gives darned nearnothing back. I want to havepride in this team and I do, butthat pride gets very muddledwhen thinking about how thor-oughly Brown takes the city tothe cleaners year after year af-ter year.”

M.J.F.

“The Bengals are an excitingteam with many great playerson offense and defense. Bar-ring major injuries (like lastyear) they are playoff bound. Itwould be great if they can get afirst round bye in the playoffsalong with home field advan-tage. But the New England Pa-triots stand in their way. Thewish here is someone can knock

of New England prior to theBengals having to face them inthe playoffs. That might justpropel the Bengals to the SuperBowl ala the 1981 and 1988 sea-sons. Like those two years theBengals are loaded with manyclass act players. Go Figure!”

KAREEM

ELGAZZAR/ THE

COMMUNITY

PRESS

MarvinJones putsextra effortinto hisspike afterscoring atouchdownin the thirdquarter ofthe Bengals’win atBuffalo.

The New Richmond Ex-empted Village School Dis-trict has joined 42 otherpublic schools to form theGreater Cincinnati SchoolsAdvocacy Network. Thisgroup of schools is com-prised of students and

teachersfrom greatcommuni-ties that arestriving todo greatthings forour stu-dents.

However,we havefound ourjob more

difficult to do in recentyears due to requirementsand regulations placed onus from state and federalgovernment. Based on arandom survey, many peo-ple in our communityagree.

Some of the findings bythe survey:

» 60.4 percent believethat increased mandatesplaced on public schoolshave not been helpful toincrease student achieve-ment.

» 67.8 percent believethat increased mandatesplaced on public schoolshave excessively burdenedthe local taxpayer.

» 78.1 percent believethat the most innovativeideas that create studentsuccess come from teach-ers, administrators andlocally elected schoolboards.

» 80.8 percent believethat the State Legislatureshould reduce mandatesand give more control tolocal school boards.

» 93.8 percent believethat privately-operatedcharter schools that receivepublic dollars should be

held to the same transpar-ency and accountability aspublic schools.

I believe that there aresome reasonable, common-sense steps that can betaken to improve educationin our state and community.

» Increase the local con-trol of education by empow-ering local boards of educa-tion to make decisions thatare in the best interest ofthe students in our commu-nity.

» Decrease the amountof funded and unfundedmandates that take away aschool's ability to focusspending on students in theclassroom.

» Decrease the amountof required testing. Letlocal schools decide how tobest prepare students forlife, career, leadership, andproductivity. These deci-sions would be made by thelocal board of educationreflecting the values andstandards of the local com-munity.

» I would ask our legisla-tors to pass legislation thatrequires all State Board ofEducation members to beelected. Currently, the ma-jority of this State Boardhas been appointed by thegovernor. This creates asituation that gives onebranch of government toomuch power.

» New Richmond EVSDis funded $1,750 per pupilby the state. However, forevery student who attends apublic charter school, anaverage of $7,521 is deduct-ed from our state funding,for a total of $308,000 takenaway from NREVSD. Thatdifference comes fromlocal taxpayers. In light ofthe closing of the BeckjordPower Station, our districtcannot afford to supple-ment this amount anymore.I would ask our legislatorsto limit the charter schoolper pupil deduction to theactual amount that our dis-trict would have receivedfrom the state.

What does the Zoontjensfamily of The Netherlandshave in common with PaulScott of Mulberry?

At first glance, it wouldseem not much. They lived indifferent countries. They nev-

er met. Theywere separat-ed in time by70 years. Thebond, however,is deep andabiding.

Paul wasborn in 1921and grew up inMulberry. Heattended Mil-ford schools.

He enlisted in the U.S. ArmyAir Corps several months aftergraduating from Terrace ParkHigh School. Paul trained as aradio operator and waist gun-ner on a bomber. After traininghe was assigned to the 453rdBomber Squadron of the 8thU.S. Air Force based in Essex,England.

On March 26, 1944, Sgt.Scott and five other crewmembers boarded the “ToidBoid,” a B26C Marauder, for abombing run over Holland. Asit approached its target at 2:44in the afternoon, it came underheavy enemy anti-aircraftartillery fire. The “Toid Boid”opened its bomb bay doors.Before it could drop its load, anartillery shell struck the plane.Flames streamed from itswings to its tail. It spiraledsteeply down - crashing intothe sand dunes near Ijmuiden,Holland. There were no survi-vors.

Roger Zoontjens’ grandfa-

ther told him stories about thedark days of the Nazi occupa-tion - stories Roger has neverforgotten. Seventy-five per-cent of Holland’s Jews, in-cluding Anne Frank, weremurdered in Nazi death camps.Hundreds of thousands ofmore Dutch citizens wereforced to labor in German warfactories.

Roger and his family wereimpressed by the level ofAmerican commitment to theliberation of Europe after vis-iting the American MilitaryCemetery at Normandy. Thefamily decided that they want-ed to show their gratitude tothe fallen Americans who diedfor their liberty 70 years ago.They filed an application to“adopt a grave” at the Margra-ten Cemetery in Limburg, TheNetherlands.

Originally, the cemeterycontained the graves of 18,764American service members.Today 8,301 graves remainafter repatriation. The “Adopt-a-grave” program developedspontaneously in 1945 whenlocals began decorating themarble crosses and stars ofDavid with flowers on Memori-al Day. In 2005, President Bushvisited Margraten to commem-orate the liberation of Europe.He asked the Dutch to keep theshared experiences of the waralive for future generations.The Dutch agreed to continuethe tradition of honoring their“Liberators” and to “reinvestin peace every day.”

Roger, Patricia and Joepwere shocked to learn thatthere was a six month waitinglist to adopt their grave. They

were thrilled when Sgt. Scottwas assigned to them. Theyhave decorated his grave, col-lected information, andreached out to the Scott family.Mary Scott, Paul’s 97-year-oldsister-in-law and 1936 Milfordgraduate, was very surprisedwhen the Zoontjens contactedher and is very grateful forwhat they have done.

We sometimes undervalueour veteran’s contributions. Itis reassuring that the Dutchpeople have remembered andcontinue to honor the sacri-fices of Americans who diedliberating their country.

Thank you Roger, Patriciaand Joep.

UNION TWP. – They haveinherited the fierce determi-nation and work ethic of theircoach.

Glen Este High School islooking at a second consecu-tive Ohio Division II playoffspot under Coach Nick Ayers,class of ‘99. As a player, Ayerswent from a walk-on atGeorgetown College to a three-time All-American who playedon NAIA championship teams.That led to a free agent lookwith the hometown Bengals.

According to reports, then-Bengals running backs coachJim Anderson liked his effort.Apparently, no one ever toldNick Ayers that he couldn’t doanything.

Likewise, the Glen EsteHigh School football job in2012 wasn’t as appealing as it istoday. Participation fees in theWest Clermont School Districtapproached $500 per student/per sport. It began to affectnumbers on the football roster.

Fortunately, the fees werereduced, the numbers have ris-en and the Trojans have hadone of their better seasons.

“They’re very hungry,”Ayers said. “The kids come inextra and stay late.”

Members of the General Assem-

bly clearly voiced their support for

a smoke-free Kentucky bill for the

2015 session last week that mirrors

previously failed legislation in 2014.

Denouncing the argument that a

smoke-free bill prohibiting smoking

in public places would kill business,

Brent Cooper, a business owner

from northern Kentucky, said not

only are businesses prospering

across the Ohio River in Cincinnati

with a smoke-free law, but that the

pubs in Ireland haven’t shut down

since the country put a ban on

smoking in the workplace 10 years

ago.Many legislators conferred that

public smoking was indefensible in

Kentucky given the state’s bad

health ratings compared to other

states throughout the U.S.

According to testimony from

Wayne Meriwether, CEO of Twin

Lakes Regional Medical Center,

second-hand smoke is just as dan-

gerous for those that don’t smoke.

WILLIAMSBURG –There was a playoffatmosphere at Williams-burg Oct. 23.

Williamsburg gave itsplayoff hopes a majorboost with a 20-14 victory,while Bethel-Tate has tocome to grips with the factthat next Friday will likelybe its final game of theseason. The Wildcats nowhave sole possession offirst place in the SBAACNational Division withone game to play.

The Wildcats marchedthe ball 95 yards, takingup over six minutes ofclock to score the go-ahead touchdown. Thedrive started thanks to agreat defensive play fromBryson Vize, who swatteda Tigers pass attempt onthird down, forcing apunt. The Wildcats tookover at their five yard linewith over nine minutesleft. Spencer Clowery,Dawson Davis, and KurtMeisberger then ran theball all the way down thefield. Davis capped it witha seven-yard touchdownrun.

“We knew that this wasabig game and we just hadto do what we know how todo, and everything wouldplay out,” said Meisberg-er. “We know that our of-fense can win us games.”

Bethel-Tate enteredthe game ranked sixth in

the OHSAA’s latest Divi-sion V computer rankings,while Williamsburgranked seventh in Divi-sion VI. The Wildcatswere seeking their secondplayoff appearance inthree years; the Tigerswere seeking the pro-gram’s first ever playoffberth. Williamsburg knewwhat it would take to winthis type of game and re-lied on that experiencefrom 2013.

“We’ve been there, weknew what it was going tobe like,” said Wildcatscoach Scott Lefker. “Theycame out and hit us. Athalftime, we said we’rejust going to keep ham-mering on them and hopewe come out in the end.

“We knew we would.These kids are great. Thisis the best group of sen-iors I’ve had.”

Both the Wildcats andTigers were playing tomake history, but thegame had a nostalgic feelto it. Both teams base theiroffense on the Wing-T.The game was played on areal grass field. The firstpass completion of thegame came with 5:25 leftin the first half.

Early in the third quar-ter, Steven Cooper burstfor a 90-yard touchdownrun to break a 7-7 tie andgive Bethel-Tate its first,and last, lead of the game.

The Wildcats would notbe denied. The senior run-ning back put the Wildcats

up early then led thecomeback after Bethel-Tate seized the lead andthe momentum. Histouchdown run early inthe fourth quarter tied thegame at 14, then he and hisfellow backs carried Wil-liamsburg to victory. Asix-plus minute drivecapped by Dawson Da-vis’s touchdown run wasthe difference.

PLAY OF THE GAME:On Bethel-Tate’s final pos-session, trailing by six,wide receiver Justin Hix-son got behind the de-fense. Spencer Cloweryraced over from his safetyposition to make a play atthe last possible second.The officials called himfor pass interference, butthe 15-yard penalty savedwhat would have been thetying touchdown for Be-thel-Tate.

“I was just playing offof instinct at that point,hoping for somethinggood to happen,” saidClowery. “I was hoping tonot let a big play happen.”

PLAYERS OF THEGAME: The trio of Clow-ery, Meisberger, and Da-vis. They carried the ballon every snap of the 95-yard go-ahead touchdowndrive. They stayed calmthe entire second half,sticking to their gameplan no matter the scoreor field position.

“Coach teaches us tostay positive and keeppushing,” said Clowery.

Program-wide,Ayers says there are 96Trojans involved. Thecoaching is intense. Theplayers play with a chipon their shoulders andplay fast.

As a result, Glen Estehas topped the EasternCincinnati Conferencein offense, averagingmore than 460 yards pergame and usually top-ping the 40-point mark.In three years, GlenEste has gone 4-6, 5-5and 6-4, with this seasonbeing the best for theseniors that first put ontheir purple gear dur-ing Ayer’s first fall.

Among those arequarterback TylerPilcher, who led theECC in passing in 2013as a sophomore with1,632 yards. The follow-ing year he threw for1,645 yards for secondplace, with many of

those going to ECC re-ceiving leader JacobHamilton. This season,he’s obliterated thosemarks and often findsHamilton or fellow sen-iors Tanner Ayers andRobby Boone.

The Trojans can alsopound the ball withBoone who ran for 300yards against Milfordand went more than 200against Mount Healthyand Anderson.

“These seniors de-serve our best effort ascoaches,” Ayers said. “Ilove these kids like myown children.”

An example ofAyers’ dedication is themultitude of team bond-ing activities the Tro-jans have done. Amongthose are competitivepaintball sessions andbasic lessons in life likehow to tie one’s own tie.

After wins, Ayers isquick to praise his teambut usually looks be-yond the game.

“We know good orbad, we’re going to be a

family and that’s all thatmatters. It hasn’t noth-ing to do with the field,we’re only out 10-15games a year. It’s theculture these kids haveto come to every day.”

The culture haspassed on to the stu-dents, who routinelyare loud and decorated.The @GEPaintCrewmakes every game Hal-loween.

“Our school spirit isunbelievable,” Ayerssaid. “I would bet everystudent knows the fightsong and the alma ma-ter. They stay after anddo it win or lose.”

The next goal is toplay more than onegame in November.Last year, Glen Este lostto the eventual DivisionII state champion LaSalle in the first round,48-28. If current com-puter rankings holds,the Trojans could possi-bly see rematches withTurpin, Kings or MountHealthy and maybe theLancers.
