In late 2013 the Clermont County Commissioners ap- proved Clermont Pets Alive! as the Clermont County K-9 desig- nee in an effort to reduce the eu- thanasia rate. As such, Pets Alive pulled animals from the shelter, took them to the group’s designated veterinarian to be serviced, and then worked to find them forever homes.

investigating partner-ships with groups such asTarget Zero. The goal ofthis group is to reduce theeuthanasia rate to zero by2025.

“They have had somesuccess across the coun-try mentoring other shel-ters,” Smith said. They de-fine zero as 90 percent ormore of the intake ends inlive placements and 10percent or less are too illor have non rehabilitativeaggression issues.

Devaughn said theshelter is moving animalsas quickly as possible.

The first step in the proc-ess is getting themchecked by a veterinari-an. Thanks to grants andassistance from groupssuch as United Coalitionfor Animals and Ohio Al-ley Cat Rescue, shelteranimals are gettingspayed and neutered. Thesecond step is getting theanimals adopted or placedwith a rescue.

“Everything has beencoming along as I envi-sioned it,” she said. Morechallenging weeks areahead, however, as thespring brings kittens andpuppies.

“That will be a big chal-lenge in the spring,” De-vaughn said. “But we’llhandle it the best we can.”

Milford Schools willprovide up to $300,000 forthe project, and MiamiTownship will provideRID (Residential Incen-tive District) funds up to,but not exceeding$200,000, according to theagreement.

At Boyd E. Smith Ele-mentary, which is beingbuilt on the current schoolcampus, plans call forwidening Branch HillGuinea Pike at Jer LesDrive and providing aright/left turn lane.

“In this particularcase, as opposed to theSeipelt case, there will bea need to purchase rightof way,” Fronk told trust-ees. “There is actually adangerous curve upthere.”

Milford Schools willprovide up to $300,000 forthe Boyd E. Smith project,and Miami Township will

provide up to, but not toexceed $400,000, in TIF(tax increment financingdistrict) funds, Fronksaid.

The timeline for theSeipelt road improve-ments is 2015-2016, whilethe timeline for Boyd E.Smith road improve-ments is 2016-17.

Although costs are pre-liminary, the dollaramounts approved bytownship trustees in theiragreement with theschool board “are not toexceed numbers,” Fronksaid.

“The engineer, in par-ticular, at Seipelt Elemen-tary, expects the townshipportion of this project tobe less than what we areproposing, but we’re put-ting that (maximum)number in (the memoran-dum of understanding)just in case,” he said.

April is National ChildAbuse Prevention Month.

Ohio has designatedApril 8 as Wear Blue toWork Day to demonstratesupport for services thatprevent and mitigatechild abuse, and help chil-dren grow up in a healthyand nurturing environ-ment.

Clermont County em-ployers are encouraged toask their employees towear blue to work April 8.

In Clermont County,about 350 children at anytime are under the care ofChildren’s Protective Ser-vices. They have been re-moved from their homesdue to parental neglectand abuse, said Tim Dick,Deputy Director of CPS.About 40 percent of theremovals are due to thegrowth in heroin addic-tion in the county, he said.

“Efforts to prevent

child abuse are every-one’s responsibility,” Su-san Grabowski, a supervi-sor at CPS, said. “Thismonth, it is important forevery community mem-ber to consider what theycan do to improve our pre-vention efforts; listen toour children, report con-cerns, become a fosterparent or simply show youcare by reaching out to achild in need. We encour-age everyone to focus onthe community’s ability toraise safe, happy, healthychildren and to ensurechildren are in nurturingenvironments at home, inschool, and in the commu-nity.”

“Asking people to wearblue to work on April 8may not seem like a bigdeal,” Dick said. “But if alot of workplaces do it onApril 8, it reinforces thatwe in Clermont County

know about this issue, areconcerned about this is-sue, and support servicesthat work to prevent childabuse.”

Companies and organi-zations that wear blueApril 8 are asked to postpictures of their staff totheir Facebook page andnotify Kathleen Williams,communications coordi-nator at Clermont County,[email protected]. She willshare those photos on thecounty’s Facebook pageand Twitter feed. Com-mon hashtags include#ChildAbuseIsPreventa-ble #OhioWearsBlue and#ClermontCounty.

To report abuse or ne-glect, contact CPS at 513-732-STOP. To find outmore about becoming afoster parent, call 513-732-7765.

Ursuline students recog-nized were Jennifer Little ‘15of Union Township, HannahScally ‘15 of Milford, Jenni-fer Welch ‘15 of Blue Ash,

and Mollie Young ’15 of Ken-wood. They participated inthe Stock Market Game aspart of Elizabeth Gromada’seconomics class.

The Stock Market Gameprogram is an online marketsimulation allowing studentsto manage a virtual stockportfolio with real-time dataand compete against otherteams and schools regionallyand statewide. This gameencourages students to getengaged in the content, witha competitive twist, all whileteaching them the funda-mentals of economics andtopics on saving and invest-ing. The Stock Market Gameis proven to improve mathscores of students.

The Ursuline studentswere invited to ring theopening bell, which beganthe annual awards luncheon.

“The Stock Market Gamewas a very beneficial experi-ence,” Welch said. “Itshowed us how the stockmarket works in a real-worldsetting. We learn about it inclass, but without this expe-rience, we\could head outand risk losing a lot of mon-ey. It made something thatcan be intimidating veryapproachable.”

People ask me all the time whereI get my recipes. “Do you develop

them yourself?”“Whose recipes doyou use from the foodnetwork and do youhave any favorites?”“What about recipesthat readers send. Doyou test them?”

I would say a care-ful yes to all of theabove. I develop somemyself, and I adaptsome, but not all. Asfor credit, if I know

the source, I will name it. Often-times the recipe has been passedthrough so many hands that cred-iting one person isn’t possible. Butthat’s the fun in it.

Not so much where a recipestarts, but where it continues to go.I don’t always test readers’ recipes.Just no time!

As far as food network stars, I’vecooked with more than a few. But Ihave to say our own Cincinnati foodstars/chef educators, like masterchef John Kinsella, Marilyn Harris,Debbie Goulding, Judy Walsh, ChrisHoltz and Molly Maundrell, alongwith Tim Bettinson, Bob Hess, TomKeegan and Todd Kelly, just toname a very few, hold their own,right with the most famous of chefs.And, of course, my readers don’tlack with creativity or ability.

That’s why today I’m sharing agood recipe which I enjoyed at theTrowel percent Error Garden Club’sluncheon. This chicken percent hamcordon bleu is a yummy way to usethat leftover Easter ham. MarieRobbins is one good cook!

Readers want to know:Stainless steel flatware: is it all

the same?No! At first glance, they’re all

shiny and look like they have someheft. Read packaging. What youwant is 18/10, which means 18 per-cent chromium and 10 percent nick-el.

Stainless steel is essentially ironwith more than 10 percent chromi-um. The higher the nickel content,the more protection from corrosion.Get as close to those numbers asyou can.

If you can pick a fork or spoon

up, go ahead. It will feel good inyour hand with the 18/10, not feath-erweight, and the polish will beelegant. Definitely worth the price.Polish with a bit of clear vinegar ifthey get water spots.

Top off chicken cordon bleuwith mimosa for brunch

Marie’s chicken cordon bleu casserole

I love garden club luncheons. They usually consistof an easy, do-ahead casserole that has stood the testof time. Like this one. Marie said make your own whitesauce if you like. She also sometimes adds sautéedmushrooms and usually bakes the chicken in a coveredcasserole.

8 oz wide egg noodles2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast8 oz. cubed cooked ham8 oz. cubed Swiss cheese10.5 oz. can reduced fat/sodium cream of chicken

soup1/2 cup 2percent milk1/2 cup light sour cream2 tablespoons butter1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease or spray a9x13 pan. Cook noodles in boiling, lightly salted waterjust until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5minutes. Drain and put in pan, top with chicken, hamand Swiss. Mix soup, milk and sour cream and spoonover noodle mixture. Melt butter over medium heatand stir in bread crumbs and Parmesan until crumbs arecoated, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle over casserole. Bakeuntil bubbling and lightly browned, about 30 minutes.Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Tip from Marie’s kitchen: Make ahead and bringto room temperature before baking.

Tyler Florence’s mimosa

Tyler uses blood orange juice, but regular juiceworks. Chill a bottle of Prosecco. Combine about 2 cupsjuice with sugar to taste and add a couple splashes oforange liqueur. Chill. To serve, pour juice mixture inbottom of champagne flute and top with Prosecco.

70-year-old marijuanastudy hardly credible

Leonard Harding isn’t tak-ing into consideration the pos-sibilities of the effects of mar-ijuana on people driving oreven walking while under theinfluence.

Medical marijuana seemsfine for treatment of medicalissues, but when it’s legalizedfor recreational use it putsmore impaired drivers on our

roads and pedestrians on oursidewalks.

He also discounts the gate-way drug possibilities. Hecited a study done in 1944.There have been studies donesince then and most show thatmarijuana usage does indeedlead a high percentage of us-ers who do progress to harderand more addictive drugs.

Former Reds outfielder George Foster rides passed Washington Park in the 2014 Findlay Market Opening DayParade.

Ankle sprains are one ofthe most common injuries Isee as a physician of sportsmedicine at Cincinnati Chil-dren’s.

It’s estimated 2 millionankle sprains occur across thecountry every year. Almosthalf taking place duringsports related activity. Anklesprains commonly happen insports that require cuttingand jumping such as basket-ball, soccer, football and vol-leyball.

A common misconceptionamong parents is that an an-kle sprain is a “mild injurythat will heal on its own.”However, ankle sprains canlead to chronic pain and insta-bility of the ankle if not prop-erly treated. The group that isat greatest risk range in agefrom 10-19 years old.

A sprain is a stretching ortearing injury that is specificto ligaments (bone to boneconnections in the body). Mostankle sprains cause an injuryto the outside portion of theankle. However, an injury tothe inside of the ankle canindicate a far more worri-some injury.

If you think your child hasan ankle sprain, it’s alwaysbest to have an examinationby a physician who has spe-cialized training in evaluationof ankle sprains.

Some of the signs include:» inability or difficulty

bearing weight on the affect-ed ankle;

» significant swelling orbruising anywhere on theankle, leg or foot;

» pain over the inside ofthe ankle or over the foot;

» deformity of the ankle orfoot.

If any of the above signs orsymptoms is present, it isadvised that your child beevaluated as soon as possible.Ligaments may not heal prop-erly if rest and or bracing arenot performed. Ankle braces

have pro-gressedgreatly overthe past 20years. To-day’s anklebraces arefor easier toput on, arecomprised ofmore ad-vanced ma-terials, and

are more comfortable to wear.At Cincinnati Children’s,

our pediatric sports medicineexperts recognize the impor-tance of early evaluation ofmusculoskeletal injuries. Ourclinics are equipped withXray capabilities, splints,crutches, and bracing for alllevels of ankle sprains. Sameday appointments can bemade by calling 513-803-HURT. If your child’s injuryis after hours or on the week-end and your child is unableto bear weight or a deformityis present, an evaluation in anurgent care or emergencydepartment would be recom-mended.

Depending on the degreeof the ankle sprain, healingtimes may vary. If the anklesprain is minor, recovery cantake place within two to threeweeks. With more severeankle sprains, the healingtime can take six to eightweeks for a full recovery.

It’s important to have theankle checked out as soon aspossible especially if there isany ongoing pain. At Cincin-nati Children’s, the sportsmedicine team is committedto having your child return tohis or her usual activities oncethe ankle is healed andstrength is restored.

Dr. Gregory Walker is an assistantprofessor in Division of SportsMedicine at Cincinnati Children’sand an associate professor inDepartment of Pediatrics at theUniversity of Cincinnati.

The angle onankles: Sprainsneed to be treated

Dr. GregoryWalker COMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST A very sweet lady from Wyo-

ming called me because she wasso thrilled with the care her petgot from Mike’s Mobile Veteri-nary Service, located in Fair-field.

She wantseveryone toknow howwonderful theyminister toboth ownersand their ani-mals. Dr. Mi-chael Cohen,his wife, Eleni,and registeredveterinarytechnician JimWestendorf of

Goshen all have a passion foranimals. Their personal petsrule the roosts. Two St. Ber-nards, five cats and a map turtlecrack the whip at the Cohenhome. The business focusesprimarily on cats and dogs. TheCohens also own a small non-profit cat rescue currentlyhousing eight cats.

Dr. Mike and Eleni just gotmarried Aug. 31, 2014. She is themanager of the business andgladly filled me in on how Mikebegan as a mobile vet in 1999,working out of his jeep whileemployed by other clinics inthis area. Four years ago hebought a veterinary truck be-cause the business increasedfrom three to five days perweek. You can make an appoint-ment Mondays through Fridaysfrom 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., but thatdoesn’t mean those are hisworking hours. Your 6 p.m.appointment may last severalhours into the night, depending

upon the care your pet needs.No matter how long it takes,

Dr. Mike will see it through.Since they cover a wide areafrom Dayton, Ohio, to NorthernKentucky, they actually begintheir day well before 10 a.m.They keep long hours and as theweather gets warmer, it seemsto get busier. During all the badwinter weather, they stayedopen.

Most visits are by appoint-ment, but there are also emer-gency visits. Maybe one daythey will figure out a way toclone themselves, but in caseswhen calls come that are farapart, they refer what they can’tcover to other veterinary ser-vices.

Final goodbyes are reallydifficult for them as well asowners. They choose what theydo because there is a definiteneed to establish relationshipswith pets and owners wherebyowners trust that you are pro-viding the best possible careevery day.

One experience Eleni feelsprivileged to have experiencedinvolved a neglected hybridMalamute/wolf canine Mike hadbeen called to euthanize. Herefused because it is not hispolicy to euthanize a healthyanimal, which this dog was,notwithstanding having beensubjected to horrendous condi-tions: chained to a tree, muddyand hadn’t been on grass inmonths.

He had been catching hisown food from whatever camewithin his reach. Eleni contact-ed Malamute rescues aroundthe country and posted the situ-ation on their Facebook page. Akind family hired Fred Russell,whom Eleni calls the best dogtrainer in Cincinnati, to turn thedog around and also

teach the family how to copewith an animal that was dis-trustful and afraid.

Now this pooch lives in aspacious enclosure, walks on aleash, accompanies the familyon outings and no longer growlsto be left alone when he eats. Itis a 180-degree turn around. Heeven walks into Mike’s truck ina trusting manner. There werechallenges, but Fred spent a lotof time with the dog and thefamily didn’t give up. Now theyhave a special pet that knows heis loved.

Call 513-505-4043 when yourpet needs help.

Milford head coach Shane Bartholo-mew was the Eagles’ girls coach for 12seasons prior to becoming the leader ofthe boys team.

He said he is excited to get started andlead Milford back from a sixth-place fin-ish in the Eastern Cincinnati Conferencelast season.

“I look forward to the improvementswe make individually transferring intoan overall team improvement in the ECCstandings,” the coach said. “They appearas if they are hard workers and willing todo what it takes to make themselves bet-ter.”

The Eagles’ top individual returnersinclude A.J. Erdaty, David DiSilvestro,Jacob Cooley, Dominic Dalessandro andChristopher Finley.

Erdaty, a junior, ran the second-fast-est time in the ECC cross country meetwith a time of 16 minutes, 34.77 seconds.He is the Eagles’ top returning distancerunner.

DiSilvestro and Cooley are the team’stop returning hurdlers. DiSilvestro wonthe 300 meter hurdles in the conferencemeet last season and missed the chanceto qualify for the state meet when heclipped a hurdle, causing him to fall toeighth place in the regional.

Dalessandro will run sprint distancesand Finley will pull double duty withsprints and jumps.

Even though the Southern BuckeyeAthletic and Academic ConferenceAmerican Division will be tough this sea-son, Goshen head coach Jack Bailey ex-pects his team to be “very competitive inthe league.”

Helping the Warriors reach that levelwill be senior Phil Senters, Austin Clift,Max Glass, Aaron Koch and Jacob Hop-kins.

Senters, an American second-teamperformer last season, will run sprintdistances. Bailey said Clift is improvingin the shot put and Glass will run dis-

tance.In addition, Koch, a junior, and Hop-

kins, a sophomore, are two of the top hur-dlers in the entire conference, accordingto Bailey.

“We have a young team with a lot oftalent,” Bailey said. “It depends on howfast they mature.”

Clermont Northeastern also returnsa few of its top individuals from last sea-son.

Rockets’ head coach Pat Rexroat hassenior Dylan Gentry and juniors LoganFishback and Dalton Miracle at his dis-posal. Gentry and Miracle will runsprints and the sprint relays.

Fishback is the team’s top throwerand the coach expects a good seasonfrom him.

Milford’s David DiSilvestro: He wonthe 300-meter hurdles in the conferencemeet last season and missed the chance toqualify for the state meet when he clippeda hurdle that caused him to fall to eighthplace in the regional.

Goshen senior Phil Senters: AnSBAAC American Division second-teamperformer last season, he will run sprintdistances.

Goshen junior Aaron Koch andsophomore Jacob Hopkins: Accordingto head coach Jack Bailey, the pair isamong the top hurdlers in the entireSouthern Buckeye Athletic and AcademicConference.

Clermont Northeastern junior Lo-gan Fishback: Head coach Pat Rexroatcalled him one of the better throwers inthe district.

See BOYS, Page B2

Clermont Northeastern will have tocontend with the likes of Bethel-Tate,Blanchester and Georgetown this sea-son. The last two came in second andthird, respectively, behind Williams-burg last season.

However, Rockets’ head coach PatRexroat has a nice mix of athletes re-turning to the oval this season, andhopes they will spread the points moreevenly when it comes to the conferencemeet.

CNE returns junior Kaitlin Reece,who is back after taking her sophomoreyear off. She was a regional finalist at400 meters as a freshman. Fellow juniorJenna Mummert returns as well.

Mummert took fourth place in thehigh jump in the state meet last season.Her biggest competition in the statemeet, should she get there again, ap-pears to be Clyde High School’s statechampion Paula Wollenslegel.

Rexroat said thrower Elliot Durbinwill be near the top of the division in theshot and discus.

On May 6, CNE will host 20 schoolsfor the Southern Ohio Classic. Therewere 15 schools in the event last year.

Fellow Southern Buckeye Athleticand Academic Conference member Go-shen has improved from what it hasbeen in years past, according to headcoach Jack Bailey.

The coach said the Warriors shouldhave some good individual perfor-mances this season. Seniors MakaylaDean and Natalie Taulbee, sophomoreAnna Dowd and transfer student Ma-riah Vernon will lead Goshen.

Dean brings experience to the shotput and discus and Taulbee is much-im-proved in the hurdles. Bailey said Dowdshould do well in the sprints and the highjump.

He said Vernon has great potentialdown the road as sprinter for this team.

Much like its male counterparts, Bai-

ley said the girls’ success will depend onhow they develop over the course of theseason.

“Our success will be determined byhow our young athletes mature,” hesaid.

Milford came in fifth place in theEastern Cincinnati Conference meetlast season, accumulating 58 points.

The Eagles had Aunjela Latham andLauren Best receive honors from theconference. Latham was a first-teamperformer in the high jump and Bestwas honorable mention in the 800-meterrun. No further information was avail-able as of press time. The Eagles arecoached by Tracy Adams

The McNicholas girls track and fieldteam has built a pedigree.

For the past eight seasons, the Rock-ets have finished first or second at thedistrict meet. Even with graduating twodistrict champions, Catherine Adamsand Megan Schaefer, coach Kyle Jepsonbelieves they will be in that mix again.

“We graduated two district champi-ons and almost our entire distanceteam,” he said. “But, we have under-classmen ready to step up and fieldthose roles.”

The Rockets are counting on seniorhurdler Ericka Kaimer, juniors EmilyTekulve, a sprinter, and Beth Simmons,distance, and sophomores Morgan Vo-gler and Megan Rack.

McNick opened the season March 31by hosting the Coaches Classic.

On May 6, CNE will be host-ing 20 schools for the SouthernOhio Classic. There were 15schools in the event last year.

Last year, the McNicholasRockets boys track and fieldteam was stymied by its smallnumber of participants.

Second-year head coachKyle Jepson said the teamcouldn’t send a full comple-ment of athletes to the districtmeet. This year, that changes abit.

“This year, we’ve had a larg-er interest in track and field,”the coach said. “We’ll still be avery young team, but weshould be vastly improved.It’ll be nice to be competitiveagain.”

Keeping the Rockets com-petitive will be senior throwerWill Allgeier, distance runnersJackson Durm and freshmanMason Elmer, junior sprinterJonathon Wenzel and fresh-man pole vaulter ThomasMoore.

Howdy folks! With theweather getting warmerand dryer I rolled myyard last Monday. Themoles are bad and thebroken tree limbs are allover. The crokes, or East-er lilies as I call them, arecoming up. I saw a bed ofthem up the road Sundayblooming. They don’t lastvery long!

I got our black rasp-berry bushes pruned lastweek and put nitrogen onthem so they will producelots of good black rasp-berries this year. They arethe bristol black rasp-berries and so sweet theyare big berries and makea fine pie or put them overa bowl of cereal. I havesome plants to sell.
