Board of Trustees Chairman JohnMcGraw, Vice Chairman Lloyd Acresand member Matt Beamer also donateda mini-pumper fire truck to StonelickTownship in 2014.

“On the open market we might get$5,000 to $7,000 for each unit, but the val-ue to these small townships with limitedbudgets is much greater and they can

still make good use of the equipment,”McGraw said.

“This allows this equipment to stay inClermont County and stay active in gooduse.”

In fact, the pumper donated to WayneTownship will benefit the entire commu-nity because it will be used for trainingat the Wayne Township Fire and EMSTraining Academy.

Wowing family andfriends with the ThomasKinkade picturesque kindof holiday meal is a fanta-sy for many.

Often times the mealscan transform even themost confident cooks intoa model for EdvardMunch’s “The Scream.”

With a little planningand keeping your focus onwhat’s really important,disaster can be averted,retired Forest HillsSchool District adminis-trator turned food blog-ger Diana Carter said.

The Miami Township,Clermont County, womansaid the key thing to keepin mind as the hectic holi-day season begins is - it’sabout family not the food.

“That’s the most impor-tant thing you have to re-member. And you don’thave to make (all thefood),” Carter said. “Youcan buy some of it. Make afew things and purchasesome of it, especially if it’sgoing to stress you out.Make things you love butdon’t try to make some-thing brand new.”

Another important tipin simplifying big meals isprep work. Do as much ofthe food preparation as

possible in advance, likechopping vegetables.

It is advice like this,along with great recipesthat Carter shares on herblog/website Ohio South-erner. Just shy of a yearold, the site featuressouthern food with anOhio flare, she said.

“That’s really what it’sabout. It is southern foodbut I try to keep things alittle healthier than mymom did,” Carter said.

Carter has been cook-ing since she was a younggirl, partly out of passionbut mostly out of necessi-ty. Her mom, Mary Lou,was divorced and workedhard to raise four childrenon her own in Louisville,Kentucky.

“When I got home fromschool I would call her andI would say ‘what do youwant me to fix for din-ner,’” Carter said. “Ilearned to cook over thephone. And of course Iwatched my mom cookover the weekend.”

On the weekends shecooked a lot. She prepareddouble-sized meals thatcould be transformed intoanother meal during thework week. For example,the Sunday pot roastwould return as beef hashor beef stew later in theweek.

This is a practice Car-ter, a retired educator of40 years, continued andperfected for her ownfamily. She always madesoups on Sundays and ex-tra of other dishes. What-ever was left would beplaced in the freezer.

“So I could alwayscome home and we couldhave what I called an ovendinner. It would be justthings I could pull out ofthe pantry or freezer andwe stuck it in the oven,”she said. As the dinnerheated, Carter would pre-pare fresh vegetableswith olive oil, salt and pep-per and toss them in theoven to roast.

“It was always my wayof trying to fix a nutritiousmeal for my family whileI was still working,” shesaid.

Over the years, Carterhas shared her cookingshortcuts and tips withother stressed and time

challenged educators andparents. And now Carteris sharing the same goodinformation on her blogand with her son, Phil, anddaughter-in-law, Heather.

In fact, it was Phil’s andHeather’s questions aboutcooking that originallygave Carter the idea tocreate a cookbook. Sheplanned to use the sameformat she was using tomake her grandson Gor-don’s annual memorybooks.

At the urging offriends, she ditched thecookbook idea and em-braced the blog. Her son,a designer by trade, de-signed the website for her,showed her how to use it,and turned it over.

Like any good blogger,it wasn’t long before Car-ter developed other socialmedia all focused on herOhio Southerner blog. To-

day, Ohio Southerner canbe found on Pinterest,Facebook, Twitter and In-stagram.

All of the skills Carterhas learned over the yearsin the kitchen and as aneducator all come togeth-er in the blog.

“That’s the fun of it. Ifeel like everything Ilearned as an educator, Itry to apply it when I usethe blog,” she said. “That’sthe reason I take picturesstep-by-step...I write it totry to make it easy foranyone to do it.”

The blog continues togrow and mature. Recent-ly a gallery of recipes wasadded and cooking tipssection is next.

To see her blog, visitwww.OhioSoutherner.com. She can easily befound on social media aswell with a simple searchfor Ohio Southerner.

A small town, spaciousfields, trees and crops arethe landscape of authorJ.S. Bailey’s childhood inClermont County.

Known as JenniferSchmid at the time (Bai-ley is her married name),the author, now living inPierce Township, grew upjust outside of Owens-ville. Bailey said she waswriting even before shecan remember.

“When I was a reallylittle kid, I would put to-gether little picturebooks,” she said. “Theydidn’t make sense. I don’teven remember.”

Bailey said she con-tinued to write through-out grade school and mid-dle school, and authoredher first novel in highschool.

“It was a practice nov-el,” Bailey said. She neverhad it published. Her sec-ond novel, “The Land Be-yond the Portal,” was pub-

lished in 2011 under thename of J.S. Bailey. In ad-dition to this book, Bai-ley’s works include“Rage’s Echo,” and “Wea-ry Traveler.”

In her “The Chroniclesof Servitude” series Bai-ley explores what itmeans to use the gifts weare given in order to help

others. The series in-cludes “Servant,” and therecently released “Sacri-fice.”

“Servant” introducesreaders to Bobby Roland,a 20-year-old man who hasexperienced premoni-tions since he was 14 andstruggled with findingways to stop bad thingsfrom happening, Baileysaid. In this book Bobbysaves the life of Randy,who is The Servant andkind of an exorcist and thetarget of a madman’s plotto kill him. In this book,Bobby must choose be-tween saving others andsaving himself.

“Sacrifice” picks upjust one week after “Ser-vant” ends and Bobby hastaken on the mantle of ser-vitude - a position grant-ing him the ability to exor-cise demons from the pos-sessed.

Bailey is a graduate ofClermont NortheasternHigh School and NorthernKentucky University,where she studied entre-

preneurship. Her storiestypically involve ordinarycharacters who arethrown into terrifying sit-uations involving the su-pernatural.

Bailey’s books areabout the supernaturaland are filled with sus-pense and unexpectedtwists. She said that herwriting can be dark, but

she tries to include humorto lighten up things. Notall of her writing is dark.She also has lighter reads.

When not writingbooks, Bailey enjoys cro-chet and sells her cre-ations on her Etsy storeConstant Geekery. She isalso part of a collabora-tive blog called “Read,Write, Muse” found at

readwritemuse.comFuture projects in-

clude some short storiescoming out in differentcollections. More infor-mation about Bailey andher books can be found atwww.jsbaileywrites.com.“Sacrifice” and Bailey’sother stories are availablein Kindle and paperbackformats at Amazon.com.

AMELIA HIGH SCHOOL HONOR ROLLS

Immaculate Heart of Mary» Seventy students at this Anderson

Township school enjoyed a feast theMonday before Thanksgiving, honoringthe very first Thanksgiving.

To prepare students made placematsand festive headbands representing ei-ther pilgrims or American Indians. Theyalso made and wore Native American na-ture necklaces with colored beads repre-senting gifts from nature that were im-portant to the Native Americans and arestill important today: yellow for sun andits energy; light blue for the sky andclean air; dark blue for fresh, clean wa-ter; brown for the earth and soil to growplants for food; green for food-producinggreen plants; and red for the animals ofthe earth.

Their feast included fruit, cornbreadbaked by students and butter churned bythe students, and pumpkin pie. It wasquite a celebration.

St. Bernadette School» St. Bernadette teacher Rachel Clark

had the students at St. Bernadette teamup with Greentree Plactics, a plastics re-cycling company, and collected morethan 800 pounds of caps in order to re-ceive two benches for their school.

Keeping the caps out of landfills, thecompany will melt the caps and form abench for every 400 pounds collectedthrough their ABC Promise Program.

» Saint Ursula Academy students nowhave a connection with students from Ja-karta, Indonesia.

A recent service event at Saint Ursulaearned some global attention. To the sur-prise of the students, a hair-cutting eventhosted at SUA helped build a betterworld and make an impact across theglobe!

Health teacher Mary Porter receivedan email from a group of students at Raf-fles Christian School in Jakarta, Indone-sia, inquiring about the Pantene Beauti-ful Lengths event at Saint Ursula. At thatevent in October, more than 60 students,faculty and parents donated hair to pro-vide free wigs for women who have losttheir hair due to cancer treatments.

Through an internet search, the Raf-fles Christian School stumbled upon thesuccess of the event at Saint Ursula anddecided to host its own event. But first,the students needed advice from theSaint Ursula student organizers. Be-cause community service is a focus atSaint Ursula and technology is readilyavailable, a Skype call was set up to con-nect SUA students with the students inIndonesia. From there, an event wasplanned.

Saint Ursula Academy seniors AnnieHamiter of Union Township and MaggieSchroeder of Cleves connected with Val-erie, Eleora, and John from Indonesia,discussed how they organized the Beau-tiful Lengths event in Greater Cincinnatiand offered advice and recommenda-tions on how to promote the event. Fromthere, the students exchanged email ad-dresses and have had a continuing con-versation about the upcoming event inIndonesia.

Annie is encouraged that others haveused this event as a springboard for help-ing women around the world.

“Learning and meeting other peoplewho share similar passions was so inter-esting. It amazes me that my actions hadsuch a positive effect on others. Becauseof our events, a connection was made be-tween two different groups who wereworking towards a similar goal of help-ing those with cancer.”

Annie and Maggie will continue the di-

alogue with their new friends as theevent develops. While they initiallythought their project would be a great ex-perience for the Saint Ursula communi-ty, they had no idea what an impact theywould make and that it would help those

in Indonesia as well. The girls, along ev-eryone involved in this project, havelearned that building a better worldstarts with a passion for helping others,and can grow exponentially throughtechnology and collaboration.

You’ll never believe whatkind of “gift without ribbons” Ireceived last week.

Farmer Bruner, who livesdown the road, knocked on my

back kitchenscreen door. Hehad a five-gal-lon bucket ofhickory nuts onhis arm.

“I thoughtyou might likesome,” he toldme. What? Likesome? Howabout lovesome? “These

nuts came from trees firstplanted long ago by my dad onour farm,’ he said. He told meto shell a couple and plantthem, which we did.

Hickory nuts are so expen-sive when you find themshelled (if you can) at the gro-cery. So to have been given abig bucketful was both over-whelming and so very cool.

The thing, though, abouthickory nuts, is that they havean outer shell, which is fairlyeasily removed in four quad-rants. The inner shell, not somuch. Lucky for me our son,Jason, came over with two ofhis boys, Will and Jack, to helpsplit wood that same day. Icorralled Jack into helping mecrack nuts with bricks whileWill helped with wood. (Ifyou’ve never shelled a hickorynut, go to my website Aboutea-ting.com to see “how to” pho-tos by Jack). We used some ofthe hickory nuts in this classicmonkey bread recipe. Eating itwarm from the oven was a realtreat.

And oh by the way, I prom-ised Jack I’d make him someHarry Potter butter beer nexttime he comes over. I’m shar-ing both the monkey bread andthe butter beer recipes today.

Rita’s recommendationfor holiday cookbookgiving

America’s Test Kitchen: 100Recipes: The Absolute BestWays To Make The True Es-sentials. ($40, four colorthroughout, hardcover).

I can’t say enough aboutthis book. It should be on ev-eryone’s shelf. I have used it

numerous times already. Thebook truly does contain all theessential recipes you need, andvariations on the themes, aswell. There are everyday reg-ulars like tomato sauce, porkroast and brownies, along withdelicious stews, Asian classics,pies, steaks, seafood, you nameit, this book has it. And therecipes are all doable, sincethey’ve been tested so thor-

oughly. I can see cooking outof this book through 2016.

Bring monkeys, Harry Potter to the tableHalf batch monkey bread

I only had 1 can of biscuits so Idivided this recipe in half. What I’msharing is for a full recipe. This is sogood in late afternoon with a cup oftea. Nice for breakfast, too. Friends ofmine make this their dessert at din-ner.

1/2 cup granulated sugar1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon2 cans Pillsbury Grands

refrigerated biscuits (8 biscuits inea. can)

3/4 cup chopped nuts (optional,and we used hickory nuts)

1/2 cup dried fruit (opt)1 cup firmly packed light or dark

brown sugar1-1/2 sticks butter (3/4 cup),

melted

Preheat oven to 350. Lightlyspray 12-cup Bundt pan. In baggie,mix granulated sugar and cinnamon.Separate dough into 16 biscuits; cuteach into quarters. Shake in bag tocoat. Arrange in pan, adding nutsand raisins among the biscuit pieces.

Harry Potter Butterbeerfor Jack

If you have kids in your life,make this and you’ll be elevated tostar status. Now the cream soda istypically the light colored creamsoda, not red or brown. I get minefrom Jungle Jim’s Eastgate, so if yourgrocer doesn’t carry it, both Jungle’sdo.

Stir together and drink rightaway:

Approximately 12 oz. cold lightcolored cream soda

4 tablespoons caramel syrup

Top with a nice “head” ofwhipped cream

Neighbor 2 Neighbor,schools work together

This in response to Ran-dy Kleine’s column in theDec. 2 issue:

Evidence based researchshows that diversity withinthe teaching staff of ourschools not only improveseducational equity, it helpsto prepare children of allsocio-economic and ethnicbackgrounds for life withina diverse society.

Three members of colorin Neighbor 2 Neighborserved as educators withinthe Milford School District.Virginia McCallum not onlytaught, but she retired as aprincipal. Claudette Cole-man, a member of N2N,recalls how proud she wasto walk with the N2N floatat Frontier Day Parade withMrs. McCallum. “Along theentire parade route, therewere cheers from thecrowd as adults and chil-dren called out ‘Mrs.McCallum, Mrs. McCal-lum!’”

With no black teachers inthe district due to retire-ment and attrition, N2Ninvited Milford City SchoolSuperintendent Bob Ferrellto attend a meeting to dis-cuss the lack of diversitywithin our teaching staff.N2N members attendedschool administration meet-ings and offered sugges-tions in ways to recruitqualified black teachersinto our schools. N2N is animportant ally of the schoolsystem and is in a uniqueposition to help themachieve racial diversity ofqualified teachers withinour schools.

The mission of Neighbor2 Neighbor is to understandand respect life experi-ences and cultures differ-ent from our own, then helpothers understand byspeaking against injusticeand becoming an exampleof love and compassion forall.

LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR

Dec. 10 questionDo you agree with the deci-

sion not to prosecute the officerwho shot Trepierre Hummons,after he shot Cincinnati OfficerSonny Kim? Why or why not?

“I agree with the decisionnot to prosecute the officer. Hearrived onto and active shootersituation, where a fellow lawenforcement officer had justbeen shot and the shooter wasstill in possession of a fire arm.From the reports, the arrivingofficer’s car was shot at, andhe was lucky enough to get outof the vehicle and the commu-nity was fortunate that he wasable to kill the gunman beforeany more harm was done ei-ther to further law officers orthe community.

“The fact that prosecutionof the officer was even beingconsidered is insulting to lawofficers who put themselves inharm’s way everyday, workingto keep communities safe.”

“Shouldn’t like to speculate.

I don’t know what the prose-cutor’s office knew that madethem decline. Obviously thiswas an armed and dangerousfelon who had proven he wouldnot care who he shot. As in allshooting investigations, theofficer who shot Hummons,was thoroughly investigated.

Given the political posturingthat has allowed the favoringof felons over law enforce-ment, I’m fairly confident thatany shred of liability wouldhave resulted in an indictment.The public is probably awak-ening to the concept that mak-ing police officers scapegoatsin specious lawsuits, certainlydoesn’t encourage anyone tobecome a police officer. Weneed that thin blue line morethan ever these days.”

“Why is this even a ques-tion? Why would there ever bean iota of question whatsoeverabout prosecuting OfficerSandman for doing his job inthe only proper way it must bedone when faced with a de-ranged person intent on com-mitting suicide-by-cop, espe-cially after the perpetrator hadtaken Officer Kim’s life insuch a brutal manner?

“Officer Sandman should becommended and congratulatedfor his excellent performanceof duty in the most challenging

situation any police officerhopes never to be faced with.Sadly there have been far toomany police involved shoot-ings recently and several ofthose have been questionable.The blatant murder of OfficerKim involved no such ambigu-ity. I am guessing that the sadmemories of everything thattranspired that day will hauntOfficer Sandman for the restof his life, but I for one, amproud of him, salute him andthank him for his professionalservice.”

A makeshift memorial for TrepierreHummons sits in the 4500 block ofWhetsel Ave. in Madisonville.

One of the most heartbreak-ing life experiences is when aloved one realizes that theperson who raised, nurtured,loved and assisted you througheverything from helping withyour homework, nursing youwhen you were ill to being theconfidante with whom youshared your deepest concernsand joys, is now unable to re-member that you visited thatday, the joys of being a grand-parent or even your face oryour name.

Alzheimer’s disease is agut-wrenching reality formany sons, daughters, sisters,brothers, nieces, nephews anddear friends.

As a caregiver, you may findyourself growing impatientwith that person’s forgetful-ness, trouble taking care ofsimple things, such as personalhygiene and getting dressed.Since Alzheimer’s varies fromperson to person, and it canprogress faster in some thanothers, it is important to knowas much as you can about thedisease.

Making aperson’s homeenvironmentsafe is criticalfor your lovedone’s healthand your peaceof mind. TheNational In-stitute onHealth sharesseveral tipsdesigned to

keep the person with AD safeat home. First, take time tosimplify the home. Too muchfurniture and clutter can makeit difficult to move freely. Besure that you have a sturdyhandrail on any stairway andsecure throw rugs or carpet onstairs with safety grip strips tohold them in place. Expertsalso advise that people with ADare able to read until the latestage of the disease. Use signswith simple written instruc-tions to remind them of dangeror show them where to go.

Next, lower the chances forslips and falls by making surethe person with Alzheimer’s

has good floor traction forwalking or pacing. Three fac-tors affect traction: 1) The typeof floor surface. A smooth orwaxed linoleum, tile or hard-wood floor can be slippery; 2)Spills. Even the smallestamount of liquid should becleaned up immediately, and 3)Shoes. Be sure shoes and slip-pers have good traction. Checkfor the type of material andtread.

If the person is living wheremedications are not monitored,be sure that all prescriptionand over-the-counter medicinesare locked up or removed,especially outdated ones. Besure that the person’s medica-tions are in day packs so thatyou can easily tell if the personhas taken the medication or iftoo much is missing. Keep allcleaning products or otherhazardous materials locked upor removed. Be sure to keepthe National Poison ControlCenter toll-free number posted- 1-800-222-2225 - in a locationthat anyone can see. Alwayskeep all guns, other weapons,

scissors and knives locked upor removed, as well as gasolinecans and other dangerousitems.

Generally, Alzheimer’s takesmany years to develop from itsonset. And, as the disease wors-ens, when people need the levelof care that necessitates someof the above actions, they neednearly full or total care. Al-ways work with a physician toknow what level of care is im-portant for your loved one’ssafety - and yours.

Alzheimer’s safety tips help alleviate frustrations

CindyGramkeCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

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

For those of you who havenot yet sent a child off to col-lege, FAFSA stands for theFree Application for FederalStudent Aid. The purpose ofFAFSA is to determine theexpected family contribution(EFC), which is the amount ofmoney a family will have topay for college for the currentacademic year before theycan be considered for need-based financial aid. EFC hasfour components - parentincome, parent assets, studentincome and student assets.

Historically, a family wouldcomplete this form for thefirst time in January of theirstudent’s senior year in highschool, using their prior yearfederal tax returns to reportparent and student income.

This timelinewill hold truefor families ofcurrent highschool seniors,who will com-plete FAFSAfor the firsttime this com-ing January,using their2015 tax re-turns to deter-

mine their financial aid eligi-bility for the 2016-2017 aca-demic year, which will betheir freshman year in col-lege.

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 ofjuniors and sophomores tostart planning 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 changerequires families to reportincome from their “prior pri-or” year tax return, so fam-ilies of juniors will use their2015 tax returns (rather than2016) to report income, eventhough they won’t head off tocollege until the fall of 2017.Families of current sopho-mores will use their 2016 taxreturns to complete FAFSA inOctober 2017, for the 2018-2019 academic year.

These changes are impor-tant for two reasons: 1) theymore closely align the finan-cial aid process with the col-lege application and admis-sion process, and 2) they af-ford families an earlier oppor-tunity to plan for how theywill pay for college and moreimportantly, more time tostrategically minimize theirExpected Family Contribu-tion.

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.

Brad Gardner finds an easy layup for Glen Este Dec. 11.

UNION TWP. – Amelia andGlen Este high schools will sendtheir basketball rivalry out instyle as the Barons and Trojanswill meet in a girls/boys twin billDec. 19 at the University of Cin-cinnati’s Fifth Third Arena.

The doors will open at 4 p.m.with the varsity girls playing at5 p.m., followed by the varsityboys at 7 p.m.

The rival schools becomeone as West Clermont HighSchool for the 2017-18 schoolyear and will not play any reg-ular-season games next season.All four head coaches in theDec. 19 doubleheader played forone of the schools, includingsome assistants.

Leading the Lady Barons on-to the UC hardwood will be 1987Amelia High School graduateTara (Shepherd) Kaiser. As aplayer, she was a ClermontCounty League all-star. In herseventh season leading her al-ma mater, she also gets to coachher daughter, Kendall, now asenior.

“I have good memories ofplaying for Amelia in a GlenEste holiday basketball tourna-ment with Scott and Lloyd highschools from Kentucky,” Kaisersaid. “I’m pretty sure we beatthem in my four varsity years,but I recall less about the victo-ries and more about playingagainst my friends.”

Facing Kaiser and Amelia is19-year Glen Este girls coachJeff Click. Click has the uniqueperspective of being a 1989Amelia grad coaching GlenEste. In his playing days he wasa deadly shooter for the Barons.

“The biggest thing thatstands out to me is the emotioninvolved, from the players andfans,” Click said. “It has alwaysbeen a game that you can throwthe records out the window. Youknow both teams will alwayscompete at a high level!”

In his first year leading GlenEste’s boys is 1994 Glen Estegrad Craig Rieck, who not onlyplayed in the game, but had ason, Austin Rieck, who also par-ticipated. This will be his firsttime taking one in as headcoach.

“As a parent watching myson play it was awesome to seethe students from both schoolsand ‘battles’ between them inthe stands,” Rieck said. “Thatwas something as a player you

didn’t really get to see becauseyou were focused on the game.It’s hard for me to put intowords the excitement I have incoaching this final game. One ofmy themes to the players is‘Trojan Pride’ and take pride inbeing the last group of playersto play in this game and put onGlen Este uniforms!”

Corey Goedde is a Trojan as-sistant who played in the seriesjust four years ago with AustinRieck. He recalls both sides ofthe gym packed with bodiespainted and numerous chants.

“My teammate WyntonOvercast had the play of thegame with a tip slam dunk thathad the gym rocking,” Goedderecalled. “It’s exciting to be in-volved again as a coach andhopefully we’ll get the same re-sults.”

For Amelia, athletic directorJames Collins is a 1994 grad andwas a Queen City Conferenceall-star. Collins will be the newathletic director at West Cler-mont.

Courtside with the Barons ashe has been since the 1992-1993season outside of brief hiatuses,is 1978 Amelia grad Craig Maz-zaro. He was a Clermont CountyLeague all-star as a player andhas guided his alma materthrough the Queen City-Ameri-can, Fort Ancient Valley Confer-ence and now the SouthernBuckeye Conference. The Bar-ons have won the last threeleague titles with Mazzaro pull-ing a ‘three-peat” on Coach ofthe Year honors.

Collins played for Mazzaroand Glen Este’s Rieck playedagainst him. According to Col-lins, Mazzaro has seen about 40of these rivalries and is 26-6 ashead coach.

“My first two we lost andthen we started winning,” Maz-

zaro said. “I remember around‘94 a big crowd here at Ameliaand we were behind by eight.We came back in the last coupleminutes and they missed at thebuzzer and fans went on thecourt.”

Mazzaro’s strategy has al-ways been to not take it as a life-or-death game and to keep withthe game plan. He hopes to takethe same approach at UC.

“I’d just as soon have it at oneof the gyms and do it like a high

school basketball game,” Maz-zaro joked (sort of).

Tickets to the game can bepurchased at both Glen Este andAmelia high schools for $10, orat Fifth Third Arena the day ofthe game.

For the first time in theexistence of the EasternCincinnati Conference,Glen Este High School didnot win the boys bowlingtitle last season, finishingbehind Anderson.

Coach Kevin Briggs isout to change that thiswinter with seniors BradyDunigan, Tanner Davisand Evan Dennis.

Dunigan and Daviswere ECC first-teampicks as juniors and Den-nis was honorable men-tion. Dunigan was third inthe league last year withan average of nearly 204.Davis averaged 188.3 andDennis 180.3.

Dunigan has been tear-ing up competition in theearly portion of the seasonwith an average that hascrept into the low 240s andahigh game of 275. Dennishas rolled in the low 200swith a high of 268.

Sophomores EvanStroup and Luke Laird

also saw some varsitytime last season.

“We have a full 14 boyroster that includes fourfreshmen we added thisyear,” Briggs said. “Wehave a great mix. We’ll begraduating three seniors,so we took the opportunityto add some young talent.”

Highlighting the GlenEste new year will be ahome match with La SalleJan. 4 and back-to-backmatches with AndersonJan. 25-27 at CherryGrove Lanes.

“We have high hopes,”Briggs said. “The ECC iswithin reach. After that,the sky’s the limit.”

Amelia coach DeuceBauer is in his second yearleading the bowling Bar-ons and this spring will de-but as baseball coach atGlen Este. Helping hisstaff is local bowling leg-end Tom Huber, who usedto assist the dominantteams of Kathy Demarkoat Glen Este.

“I went and got the guyI know that knows themost about bowling,”

Bauer said.Huber’s nephew, Nic

Huber is Amelia’s top roll-er. Nic Huber as a juniorhas already rolled some300 games over the years.

“He can get better,”Bauer said of his ace.”It’snot like he’s got very muchthat’s bad. Each ball’s dif-ferent and each throwsdifferent. You have tolearn to adjust and heknows how to adjust.”

Huber also played soc-cer for Amelia this fall

and fits in basketball in be-tween strikes and spares.

Huber has averagedbetween 215-220 in the be-ginning months with ahigh of 269 and a high se-ries of 511.

On the other end of thespectrum, the Baronshave some on their teamthat just started bowlingon a competitive level inearly November. SeniorNick Trammel took lastyear off, but has comeback and is capable of put-ting up a score of 250-plusat times. His average wasin the low 200s at press-time.

“He didn’t bowl lastyear because he wanted toget his pilot license,”Bauer said. “He got me inthe hallway this year andsaid he was back in.”

Though not officially inthe ECC, the Barons areoften at Cherry GroveLanes in competition withthose schools. The SBAACdoes not offer bowling as asport.

The Barons began theseason by knocking off ri-

val and ECC powerhouseGlen Este by 79 pins backon Nov. 13.

For the first time inMcNicholas coach BrianCombs’ tenure, he has afull boys varsity and ju-nior varsity team at hisdisposal.

The uptick in numbersis just one of the many rea-sons he is feeling optimis-tic about his team thisyear.

“We’re off to a greatstart,” Combs said. “Wejust eked out a win againstFenwick to move to 4-0 inthe GCL Co-ed. We haven’twon the league since itswitched to the currentformat. I think we have areal good shot this year."

The Rockets have fiveseniors on their roster in-cluding Matthew Massie.Currently, Massie holds a215 average and is rankedin the top-15 in the city interms of scoring average.

“He’s having an excel-lent start,” the coach said.“By season’s end, he hopesto be among the best bow-lers in the city. At McNick,

it’s been a while sincewe’ve had someone bowl-ing in districts or beyond.I have all the confidencein the world that Matthewcan break that streak.”

Backing up Massie is astrong core of returnersincluding Adam Ramey,Brian Roesel and WilliamGranlund.

Glen Este’s Brady Duniganhas been among the ECCleaders in recent years.

The girls bowling teamat Glen Este High Schoolhas dominated the East-ern Cincinnati Confer-ence since the inceptionof the league. Based onthe evidence, the 2015-16season looks no different.

ECC girls Coach of theYear Kevin Briggs re-turns ECC Bowler of theYear Danielle Cooper whois just a sophomore. Coop-er led the league with a189.6 average last season,with a high game of 256.Joining her on the ECCfirst team were captainsDrew Coulter and Court-ney Chaffin, both juniors.Rebecca Rainwater, also ajunior was second team asa sophomore.

This season, freshmanTaylor Neal has jumpedinto the fray averagingover 190 in the early go-ing. Chaffin has led in thelow 200s and Cooper hasbeen in the upper 190swith a high game of 258.

“We had a solid offsea-son training and workingon spare shooting,”Briggs said. “That iswhere we’ll stand outfrom other teams. Fresh-man Taylor Neal has comethrough our junior pro-gram. With four returningstarters and a couple

freshmen, we have a solidsquad.”

The Glen Este girlsjoin the boys at the ECC/SWOC Challenge atNorthwest Lanes Jan. 9.

Amelia’s girls havejust one senior in ShaylaPeters. She’s a four-yearbowler for the Lady Bar-ons.

Junior Kristina Hodg-es also has some experi-ence along with PaigeMcCluskey and TaylorMcVay who bowled theirfreshmen years.

“They were two start-ers from last year, but Ilost most of the team,”coach Deuce Bauer said.

Like the boys, the LadyBarons are “unofficial”competitors with the ECCschools.

Hannah Herforth ismaking her influenceknown despite it being aretooling season forMcNicholas’ girls bowl-ing team.

Herforth, a junior,quickly became one of theteam’s better bowlers andits primary recruiter.

“She looks real naturalwhen she’s bowling,”coach Brian Combs said.“I expect her to be ourbest. It’s why she’s the an-chor for our Baker games.I also give her a lot ofcredit for the work she didin getting other girls tojoin the team.”

Angela Bolan, AshleyJenkins, Jordan McCor-mick, Ann Savage andHailey Bell make up therest of the roster.

several people there, onSaturday there was agood crowd and all craf-ters sold some items.Now you might markyour calendar, they areplanning on having acraft show in April ofnext year.

There was a man thatfell out of his deer standduring the first week. Hewas badly hurt and willbe in the hospital for awhile so when you get ina deer stand please buck-le yourself in so if some-thing happens you don’tfall out.

Was talking to Mike atthe Boars Head BaitShop at Afton. He saidthe crappie are reallybiting good. The folks arecatching their limit,these are some goodeating. Mike also said thesauger at Meldahl Damnin the Ohio River, aresure biting good but besure you don’t go to thewall at the damn. A pon-toon boat a couple yearsago didn’t move when aload of barges came in.

Now if you are caught inthe lock especially tiedup, you will get a heftyticket.

The sauger fish arefine eating and you mightcatch some walleye. Ihave caught some sever-al years ago. I haven’tfished down in the riverfor a long time. When Idid fish there you couldsort the size of the fish.That was the way theywere feeding you couldonly use one pole. Theywere biting that fast. Oneday out in the middle ofthe river we caught ourlimit in a couple hours.So be careful when youfish the river, the OhioRiver can take a lifequick. The river can be ajoy to use for recreation,remember when you areon any water wear a lifejacket.

The Methodist Churchin Bethel last Saturdaynight held their Christ-mas musical entitled“Heart of Christmas -God’s Greatest Gift andOur Greatest Choice.”When the program start-ed the honor guard fromBethel Legion Post 406was the guest to honorthe flag presentation.

This was a very movingtime with the veteranspresenting the flag onSaturday evening. OnSunday evening the Cler-mont County MarineVeterans Honor Guardpresented the flag. Thisalways brings a tear tomy eyes. They all are tobe thanked for their ser-vice, thanks to all!

The musical was won-derful Saturday nightwith a good crowd butSunday night the folkswere hunting chairs inthe sanctuary. The sanc-tuary was full with a bigcrowd. Everyone enjoyedthe singing and program.The Lord will bless allthe folks that were re-sponsible for putting onthe program. Praise theLord for all the godlypeople.

Start your week bygoing to the house ofworship of your choiceand praising the goodLord.

God bless all. ... Morelater
