CLERMONT COUNTY — Thecounty commissioners Jan. 17opened requests for proposalsfromtwoagenciesforacommu-nity alternative sentencing cen-ter.

Talbert House, 2600 VictoryParkway, and Clermont Recov-ery Center, Inc., 1088 Wasser-man Way in Batavia Township,submitted proposals to operatethecenter,whichwouldofferanalternative to jail sentences forsome individuals.

UnderHB86, someOVI (Op-erating Vehicle Intoxicated)and non-violent misdemeanoroffenderscouldqualify forresi-dential programs in lieu of jail.The programs would includedrug and alcohol treatment, jobskills and other life-skills train-ing, saidMunicipal Court JudgeJames Shriver.

“It’s an attempt to changecriminal thinking,” he said.

He said the if the center

opens in Cler-mont County, itwould be thefirst program-ming of its typein Ohio.

The centerwould operateout of the southside of the Cler-

mont County Jail, which hasbeen empty for years and fea-tures classrooms and trainingcenters, saidCommissionerDa-vid Uible.

Shriver said some non-resi-dential specialized options al-ready are available, includingintensive supervision for thoseat a high risk of re-offendingand intensive treatment for in-dividuals with mental disabili-ties.Additional optionsareelec-tronic monitoring and commu-nity service, he said.

Uible said the three maingoals behind opening a centerare reducing recidivism rates,reducing jail overcrowding andreducing the amount of moneyspent on jail operations.

CLERMONT COUNTY — Com-missioner David Uible wouldlike to boost economic develop-ment - by lengthening the run-way of the Clermont CountyAirport.

The runway is 3,600 feetlong, but for small business jetstouse it, it needs tobe4,500 feet,said Hal Shevers founder andchair of Sporty’s Pilot Shop, apartner company to EasternCincinnati Aviation.

The county commissioners,who own the airport, wouldhave room to lengthen the run-

way up to 6,000feet, if they buypart of the adja-cent property ad-jacent, he said.

“I look at it aseconomic devel-opment,” Uiblesaid.

Large busi-nesses with locations in thearea, such as International Pa-per and 3M could use the run-way for small business jets.

“You’ve got to have goodcompanies to have good jobs,

and good compa-nies travel by ex-ecutive transpor-tation,” Sheverssaid.

Uible said theextension couldafford thecountythe ability to han-dle overflow

from Lunken Airport, if neces-sary.

While somebusinesses in thearea could benefit from usingthe airport, the greatest advan-tage is the potential for attract-

ing new businesses, Sheverssaid.

Uible said the idea still is inthe due diligence stage, butcounty officials are looking intohow much the project couldcost.

“Idon’t think lengtheningtherunway is a huge expense,” hesaid. “We’re not trying to buildan airport. We’re just trying tolengthen (the runway),” he said.

He said funding dollars fromthe Federal Aviation Admini-stration (FAA) and the Ohio De-partment of Transportation

(ODOT)areavailablefor theex-tension.

Shevers said Sporty’s wouldhave to build more ramp spaceand purchase an additional fueltruck, but he is willing to makethe investment.

The project has been dis-cussed at various times since1990, but it has never come tofruition, he said.

“I’m not really concernedabout history,” Uible said. “I’mlooking at the future and whatwe can do to stimulate the econ-omy in Clermont County.”

BATAVIA TWP. — Thetrustees Jan. 7 wereasked to consider addingtennis courts to the rec-reational facilities avail-able at the township com-

munitycenter andpark.

AmberKelley, aresident ofthe Lex-ingtonRunsubdivi-sion, toldthe trust-

ees she often comes tothe park with her son touse the playground.

“The park is wonder-ful,” she said. “But I haveone suggestion - tenniscourts.Wedon’t haveanyhere.”

Kelleysaidmostof therecreational facilities atthe park are aimed at

young people, and tenniscourts would be some-thing older residentscould use.

“Adults loves to playtennis,” she said.

Kelley,who is thegirlstennis coach at BataviaHigh School, said thecourts could be used bythe high school as well asthe community.

She said the highschool has no tenniscourts.

Theboysandgirls ten-nis teamspracticeatSyc-amore Park in Batavia,but the two courts at thepark are in poor condi-tion and the teams mustplay all their matchesaway, Kelley said.

“We drive to all ourmatches,” she said. “Par-ents want to watch theirkids play.”

If the township trust-ees built tennis courts,they could be used by thehigh school players for

practice as well asmatches, Kelley said.

Parents also will playon the courts, she said.

“The park would befamily-friendly to thecommunity,”Kelley said.

DaveRains, a residentof the Forest Glen subdi-vision, said his familyuses the park a lot.

“Wewould use itmoreif we had tennis courts,”he said. “The school andthe community couldbenefit.”

Trustee Bill Dowdneysaid, “I’m in your court”on the need for tennis fa-cilities at the park.

“It just amatter ofpri-orities,” he said. “It’s onthe wish list, but not atthe top yet.”

The 71-acre park at1535 Clough Pike in-cludes baseball and soc-cer fields, basketballcourts, walking trails, aplayground and picnicshelter.

The tennis teams at Batavia High School use the courts at Sycamore Park for practice.Because the courts are not in good enough condition for matches, the teams play alltheir matches away. JOHN SENEY/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Not every heart procedure requires open-heart surgery. There are other, less disruptive ways

and we’re working to find them every day. TriHealth Heart Institute is the leader in minimally

invasive procedures. This means quicker and less painful recovery for our patients. It’s something

we’ve learned by doing over 7,000 procedures a year. Whether it’s a non-surgical procedure

or a robotic surgery, TriHealth Heart Institute uses an entire network of physicians, nurses and

technologists to coordinate care for the best possible outcome.

Those in need of socialservices in ClermontCountymaybeable to findresources much easierthanks to a new partner-ship.

About 20 groups in thecounty have formed theClermont County SafetyNet Alliance, which aimsto bridge the gap betweenservices and programsworking in the communi-ty.

The main tool the alli-ance will use is a web-based portal with up-to-date information that

links to allpartneragencies.

BillieKuntz, ex-ecutive di-rector ofClermontCommuni-ty Ser-

vices, said with social ser-vice groups working to-gether, each group won’tnecessarily have to turnaway someone in need be-cause they don’t have theresources. Instead, theycan point potential clientstoward an agency orchurch group that canhelp.

“It’s to educate thecommunity and help ourcase workers better helpthem,” Kuntz said.

Brandon Little, pastoratLandmarkMinistries ofBataviawho serves on nu-merous non-profit boards,said many of the groupsaiming tohelp the less for-tunate are like “silos” thatoperate independently ofother groups that may beoffering similar services.

“Everything is verycompartmentalized,” hesaid.

Kuntz said the allianceis currently seeking moreof the many non-profit or-ganizations, emergencyassistance providers,school districts andchurches to join thesafetynet.

The Clermont CountySafety Net Alliance is inits initial stages. The webportal is currently a blogas the group works toraise money to create theportal and train the vari-ous groups in using it.

Lindsey Ein, executivedirector of Inter ParishMinistry, helped get thealliance started after at-tending a discussion ledbytheNorthernKentuckySafety Net Alliance,which began in 2007. Thatgroup will now help theClermont County versionget started.

Ein said with NorthernKentucky and ClermontCountygettingthis typeoforganization among its so-cial service groups, a sim-ilarmodelcouldbeabene-fit to Hamilton County.

“Ideally, we can createa regional safety net,” shesaid.

BATAVIA—An eighth-gradegifted language arts classfrom Batavia Middle SchoolJan. 19 won second place in aregional engineering competi-tion.

Threestudentspeakers,Lu-cas Herron, Zach NewcombandDylan Young, representedtheclass inColumbus, explain-ing theirFutureCityproject toa panel of judges.

“They were amazing,”teacher Mary Bradburn said.“They did a great job.”

According to the FutureCity website, the competitionis “a national, project-basedlearning experience,” open tosixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade students.

Under the guidance of ateacher and an engineer men-tor, students design a city us-ing SimCity 4 Deluxe soft-ware.After the design processis done, they must write a re-searchessay, createamodel ofthe cityusing recycledmateri-als and present the project forjudging.

“The kids do a lot of re-search,” Bradburn said.

Each year, students areprompted with a differentchallengefortheircitytoover-come. This year’s prompt was“stormwater run-off.”

To incorporate the chal-lenge, the class built a two-sid-ed model. One side showed amountain being eroded bysnow melt and stormwaterrunoff, Young said. A land-

slide-sifting unit was includedto divert mudflow away fromthe city, he said.

In addition to winning sec-ond place, the class won fivefirst-place awards, which in-cluded Best Computer CityDesign, Best Moving Part,Best Infrastructure, Most En-vironmentally-Friendly Cityand Best Use of Recycled Ma-terials.

While the students enjoyedtheir successes, they were notrealized without some chal-lenges along the way.

One major challenge wastrying to incorporate every-one’s ideas into the project,

Herron said.Young said the project also

challenged he and his class-mates to think outside the boxwithout being unrealistic.

“We had to keep it plausibleand not too far out there,” hesaid.

Engineer mentor LauraMi-chalske of Procter & Gamblehelped keep the design plausi-blebyoffering feedbackaboutwhether or not certain ideaswould work.

Newcomb said anotherchallenge was time manage-ment. The class ran into a timecrunch trying to finish themodel, he said.

Despite the challenges, thehard work paid off, he said.

“It was a good experience,”Young said. “I would do itagain if I could.”

BETHEL — Two cosmetologystudents from Grant CareerCenter Jan. 25 will fly to LongBeach, California, for the Inter-national Salon and Spa Expo.

The trip is a yearly incentivefor cosmetology students toachieve perfect attendance.

Junior Alexandria Nissel ofBethel-Tate and senior AmberBuckleyofNewRichmondwereselected to take the trip with in-structorsSueGoodmanandLoriMessner.

The students were informedabout the incentive at the begin-ning of the school year. In addi-tion to perfect attendance, stu-dents had to display a positiveattitude, achieve honor rollstanding and be involved inschool activities.

“I tried to aim for it,” Nisselsaid. “I tried to do everything Icould to get it.”

Although the students re-ceived regular updates aboutwho was in the running, Nisselsaid she was surprised to be se-lecteddespitehavinga two-min-ute tardy.

“I’mreally lucky to be able togo on this trip,” she said.

She said she is excited to cel-ebrate her birthday Jan. 26 atthe exposition, but she is alsonervous to fly on an airplane forthe first time.

“I think right now I’m mostnervous about the plane ride,”she said.

Messner said Nissel andBuckley will benefit from theexposure to professional prod-ucts and people in the field whoare successful and, in somecases, famous.

“A lot of the vendors are sell-ing newproducts anddoingnewtechniques,” she said.

In October, Buckley went toan exposition in Columbus withher instructors andmany of herclassmates. She said she partic-ularly enjoyed the classes aboutextensions in Columbus andhopes to learn about more dra-maticextensions inLongBeach.

She is looking forward to thetrip, but shesaid it “hasn’t reallysunk in yet.”

“TheColumbusshowisaniceshow, but it’s nothing comparedto California and New York,”Goodman said.

This is the third year Messn-er and Goodman are taking stu-dents to Long Beach. They alsotookstudents toNewYork in thepast.

Goodman said she andMessner usually take one juniorand one senior each year.

“It’s fun to watch them be-cause everything is new,”Messner said.

While Nissel and Buckleywill be the only students on thetrip, their classmates will bene-fit as well, she said.

The students have an assign-ment to take pictures, bringbackpamphlets andcreate aPo-werPoint presentation abouttheir experiences.

AMELIA — As they prep forthe upcoming Southern Buck-eyeConferencetournament, theAmelia Barons wrestlers havehad some recent success tobuild on.

At the Jan.19 Sycamore Invi-tational, senior Andy Clolingerwas thechampionat106pounds,while sophomore Isaac Shalashtook the title at 120.

Clolinger dropped in weightrecently after wrestling all ofhis junior season at 113 pounds.The seven-pound reduction haspaid off and coach Derrick Tes-soff believes that will continue.

“I’d say he has a shot to get tostate in Division I at 106,” Tes-soff said. “He’snot outclassedatall.Hemade thebigger commit-ment this year and hopefully he

gets all the rewards.”AsforsophomoreShalash,he

stood ina familiar spot at thepo-dium.

“He won Sycamore last yearas a freshman,” Tessoff said.“Healsohad themostpins in thetournament (this year) in theleast amount of time.”

Alongwithhis juniorbrother,Naeem, the Shalash family hasput the “double whammy” on anumberof teams.They’reonlyayear apart, but there’s about100pounds between them.

Naeem wrestles at 220pounds, one notch below heavy-weight for the Barons. Bothstarted in youth wrestling andhave progressed at the high-school level.

“They both stand a good shotofgettingoutofsectionals,”Tes-soff said. “Naeem, I think, is tak-en lightly. It’s like, ‘Go ahead,

see what happens.’ He justknows how to wrestle.”

Naeem’s bulk, coupled withIsaac’s quickness, have resulted

in a number of Baron pins andpoints in the last two seasons.

“Isaac is just non-stop move-ment, a hundredmiles an hour,”

Tessoff said. “They’re a specialgroup of brothers.”

NaeemShalashmade it to thesemifinalsatSycamoreandTes-soff also saw good things fromBarons heavyweight CohenCanter. Just a junior in his firstyear on the team, Canter lost inthe Sycamore semis to a stateplacer. His only losses havebeen to state placers or qualifi-ers.

“He’s in that mix of statequalifiers at heavyweight as afirst-year guy,” Tessoff said.

SeniorDerrickHopper (195),sophomore Jake Hopper (126)andfreshmenJaradWeiderhold(132), Jake Pangallo (145) andCody Fite (152) also made ad-vancements in the Sycamoretournament.

NEWRICHMOND—While theNew Richmond Lady Lionsswim team is 6-2 in dual and trimeets this season, coach JudyMiddeler isn’t concerned withthat.

She is concerned about hergirls dropping times and get-ting ready for the postseason.

“I’ve been real pleased withhow the girls are performing,”Middeler said. “…We are fo-cusing on times and makingsure they are improving thosetimes.”

One group that has been im-proving its time all season longis the 400-yard freestyle relayteam of Jessica Nazareth, Ash-lee Lewis, Megan Woolum andKaraBurns. The four set a new

school record at the SouthwestOhio High School SwimmingandDiving Classic Jan. 20witha timeof4:13.83.Theoldrecordwas set in 1984.

“They did a great job,” Mid-deler said. “It was a great teameffort and theyput it all togeth-er. I’ve been waiting on thetimestocomedownsowecouldbreak it.”

They girls aren’t satisfiedyet. The same four are nowlooking to break the 200-yardfreestyle relay mark set in theearly 1990s, according to Mid-deler.

Burns isn’t only getting itdone in the relays. Accordingto the New Richmond athleticsblog, the senior has won nineindividual events this season inboth the 500-yard freestyle and100-yard breaststroke events.

“(Kara) is the most dedicat-ed girl swimmer I’ve had sinceDebbie Kyle in the ‘90s,” Mid-deler said. “She is academical-ly very focused and I thinkranked No. 3 in her class. Iwould have to attribute a lot toher dedication, and she is themotivationfor theothergirls todo what they need to do.”

ForNazareth – a junior – shehas battled back from somethroat and lung issues from ayearagoandwasable together100-yard freestyle time downto 1:03.00 from 1:08.00 last sea-son.

“(The injuries) cut into hertimes last season, but she didswim over the summer,” Mid-deler said. “When Woolum gother time down (to 1:03.00), it

Be active, eat smart, get healthierThe Clermont Coalition for

Activity and Nutrition (CAN)wishes everyone a happy,healthy new year. A new yearmeans new resolutions. Someof us choose to read morebooks, learn how to knit or callour friends more often. Butmore commonly we choose tolose those extra pounds we puton over the holidays and get tothe gymmore often. If yourresolutions are in the lattercategory then congratulations,you’ve taken the first steps tothat happier, healthier life youdeserve. Here are some simpletips to help make your 2013resolutions succeed.

Make physical activity afamily affair. Build it into your

daily routine.While going tothe gym isgreat, if youcan’t go thentaking a walkwith your fam-ily is alsogreat. Bundleup and go outfor walks ormaybe evenhave a snow-

ball fight. If you don’t like thecold, try the mall. If you livealone, find a partner or betteryet, get a dog. Dogs will walkwith you rain or shine and willnever complain about it. If youhave physical limitations,swimming or chair exercises

can be good options. Make sureyou are active at least 2.5 hourseach week

If your resolution involvesweight loss then healthy eatingis a part of your plan. Forgetthe crazy diets and make sim-ple changes to the way you eat.Healthy eating is all aboutbalance. It’s really hard to denyyourself your favorite high-calorie foods forever so berealistic. Cut back on the num-ber of times you eat them andtry half the amount you wouldusually eat. You might even trya lower calorie version of yourfavorite food substituting low-fat ingredients when possible.

Chose healthy snacks likecarrots, fruits or nuts and

make sure you don’t have cook-ies and chips in easy reach. Payattention to what you drink. Aregular can of soda or a smallsweet tea represents 150 calo-ries. Substituting diet soda orunsweetened tea one meal eachday of the week represents awhopping 1,050 calories.

Remember, when it comesto maintaining a healthyweight for a lifetime, the bot-tom line is - calories count.Weight management is allabout balancing the number ofcalories you consume with thenumber of calories your body“burns off.” In order to loseweight, the calories going inmust be less than the caloriesused whether your calories

come from carbs or protein,sodas or sweets.

If your new year’s resolu-tion includes healthy eating orincreased activity then letClermont CAN’s simple visionbe your guide: Be Active, EatSmart and you’ll be off to agood start. You’ve alreadytaken the most important stepand that’s getting started. Nowjust stick with it. You “CAN” doit.

First, it is necessary to callattention to one glaring omis-

sion: While theboard of re-gents is scram-bling to findways to im-prove the col-lege gradua-tion rate - fi-nancial in-centives andhigher aca-demic require-ments, for

example, - it neglects to recog-nize an important factor thatresearch shows increases col-lege success: Career maturity.

In my profession as a careerspecialist, we stress to highschool students the importanceof having a clearly definedcareer plan. One crucial mea-sure of career maturity is theability to answer three ques-

tions: Who am I?Where am Igoing? Howwill I get there?According to Kenneth Gray inhis book, “Getting Real,” thereare two indicators of post-secondary success in college:Academic ability and careerfocus. Although Petro’s reportaddresses academic ability, itscarcely touches upon theequally important factor ofcareer focus.

Secondly, Petro claims thathis mission includes increasing“other meaningful credential(s),” but in reality, the board ofregents is primarily concernedwith higher education. Com-plete College Ohio, as the nameimplies, centers almost exclu-sively upon college completion.It is also important to realizethat colleges do not promotethe idea of career focus. In-

stead, they urge students toenter college and “figure out”their major after they beginthe college experience. This ispoor advice that helps lead tothe problem of abysmal drop-out rates. Furthermore, manystudents who do graduate fromcollege are oftentimes under-employed, making it evenmore difficult for a vast num-ber of them, as well as theirclassmates who do not com-plete college, to pay back thecrushing debt they have accu-mulated during their collegecareers.

Finally, there are not enoughjobs in the labor market tosupport everyone earning acollege degree. Right now, forinstance, there are enormousskills gaps in the trades’ areas -for machinists and welders to

cite two examples. For an in-teresting commentary on theneed for skilled trades’ work-ers in this country, go to You-Tube and viewMike Rowe’stestimony to the U.S. Senate onthe need for skilled workers.

Perhaps instead of promot-ing college to all of our stu-dents, we should encouragethem to pursue the areaswhere they show the mostaptitude, interest and passion.At the same time, and as Pe-tro’s report mentions, it is vital-ly important to teach them toglean relevant informationabout the realities of the labormarket.

Jan. 23 question:What are your expectations

for President Obama’s secondterm?

“Same crap, but more of it.Since our Dictator-In-Chiefwon’t have to campaign all fouryears he can devotemore ener-gy to tearing down our country- in between lavish vacationsand golf games.”

J.J.

“In answer to your question,I believe the presidentwill con-tinue on his mission to ‘funda-mentally change’ this countryinto a 3rd world country. Hewants to seriously reduce ourmilitary because he will needenormous amounts ofmoney tofund Obamacare. What peopledo not realize is, he does nothave a typical American mind-set. He was raised in his earlychildhood years in Indonesia,and spent several years is amuslim school. That helpedform his mind. (The Commu-nists many years ago used tosay, ‘Give us your child until heis 7 years old and then you canhave him back.’ They knewthey could brainwash them.)Thenwhen thepresidentwas incollege hehad 2Pakistani roommates. They, no doubt, influ-enced him further. That’s whyhe has an Asian mindset. Hedoes not believe that Americashould be at a higher level thanother countries.Whenhe trans-ferred to Columbia University,hewas exposed to Socialism. InColumbia’s core curriculum isa course in ‘Euro-centrism,’

which is raw Socialism. So hismain influences have beenfromIslam inhis childhoodandSocialism in his college years.Manypeoplebelievehe is just aliberal, but he is actually anideologue. He easily passeshimself off as a politician, buthe really isn’t.

“Many people like him, butthey really don’t know him, be-causenoneof these thingswerebrought out in his early cam-paigns. They only focused onhis race and his speaking abil-ity. But if he is successful inwhathewants todo, thenAmer-icawill never rise to be a super-power again.

“Wewill wind up in the dust-bin of history.”

C.C.

“Let me start with the littlesound bite captured when Oba-ma was talking to the Russian,Medvedev, back in early 2012,andhe toldhim to tell Putin thathewouldhavemore 'flexibility'

after his election. What doesthat tell you?

“Youwould have a hard timefinding an Obama opponentwho wasn't aware of his agen-da, which is to fundamentallytransform our country fromthe free democracy it has beento a socialist paradise of whichhe dreams. He's doing it bit bybit by bit, and I only hope theU.S. can survive the next fouryears.

“I expect more taxes for ev-eryone (except for that bottompart of our populationwho nev-er pay any taxes), I expectmore ruin of our health caresystem, loss of practicing phy-sicians, decline in quality ofmedical treatment, etc. I ex-pect continuing high unem-ployment and an increasing na-tional debt.

“Oneof the things thatamaz-es me is howObama talks criti-cally of the 'rich,’ saying thatthey shouldn't live the good lifewhile others go without.

“Uh, excuse me, Mr. Presi-dent, but what do you call itwhenyou live in the lap of luxu-ry, rent free, for eight years,with all the servants you want,a fancy airplane and crew totake you on your vacations toHawaii and elsewhere, collect-ingyour $400,000 annual salary(of which you can probablysave 100 percent since every-thing you and your family needis provided free of charge). Iknow what I call it: 'hypocri-sy.’”

Bill B.

“Obama is a skilled commu-

nicator. If he means what hesays about climate change, per-haps we can start talking abouthow much money can be savedwith sensible energy efficien-cy programs and speeding theentry of the low cost renew-ables into the market. Wind isalready competitive in Ohio,and while solar photovoltaicsare not quite there, they havedropped 15 percent or more incost each year for the last twodecades, and are going to becompetitive here in Ohio in afew more years. Ohio electricutilities are already savinghundreds of millions of dollarseach year with efficiency pro-grams.

“We don't need amandate, ifwe just examine the barriers tothe lowest cost energy options,remove them, and stop subsi-dizing mature dirty technol-ogies more than we subsidizeclean and sustainable technol-ogies which are on the verge ofoutgrowing their subsidies.

“The climate conversationshould be about no-losers andcreating economic growth, nota contest between the flat-earthers and academics whohave no idea how much energycosts.”

N.F.

“More of the same old 'I cando anything andno one can stopme.’”

J.K.

“I really don't havemanyex-pectations from him nor did Ithe last term. He nearly spentus into oblivion the last termand I am afraid it will be worsethis time.

“I did not think Romneywasthe best the Republicans couldhave run, but at least he wouldhave slowed the bleeding thiscountry is going through.Hopefully the next timewewillget a candidate that really hassomething on the ball.”

Hall of Fame to welcome BareCLERMONT COUNTY — For-

merveteransservicescommis-sion Executive Director DanBare soon will be inducted intothe OhioMilitaryHall of Fame.

Bare officially will be in-ducted May 3 at the VeteransPlaza of the Ohio Statehouse, 1Capitol Square.

Unlike the Ohio VeteransHall of Fame, which honorsveterans for civic duty, theOhio Military Hall of Fame isspecifically for decorated com-bat veterans.

Bare was selected as an in-ductee after being nominatedby representatives from theClermontCountyVeteransSer-vices Commission office.

“I’mabsolutelyhonored,” hesaid.

A veteran must have beenborn in Ohio or be conscriptedforservice in thestateandhavea U.S. military medal for valor,which was received for a spe-cific act of heroism.

Bare, who re-ceived an ArmyCommendationfor Valor in 1968,was nominatedfor assisting afellow soldier inVietnam.

During a fire-fight May 30,

1968, he sawa fellowsoldiergethit and tried to help move himto where he would be medi-vaced out of the combat zone.

While helping the other sol-dier, Bare got shot, but he con-tinued offering assistance.

He said he was doing “whatanyone would do.”

Although he is honored bythe induction, he said the honoris for military men and womenwho died in combat.

“Every one of them shouldreceive a medal of honor,” hesaid. “Whatmorecanyoudo foryour country than lay your lifedown?”

During the induction cere-mony, citations of valor will beread for each inductee, and

theywill be formallypresentedwith the Ohio Medal of Valor.

“I think it’s thebiggesthonorthat he’s had,” said his wife,Connie Bare.

The medal was designed byEd Arthur in 1990 and repre-sents sacrifices made for free-dom, while acknowledging re-cipients for their representa-tion of the state, according tothe Ohio Military Hall of Famewebsite.

“This is something I canshare with my grandchildren,”Bare said.

He said he hopes his induc-tionwill help him teach them tobe givers, not takers.

Veterans Services Commis-sion Executive Director How-ardDaugherty,whoalsoservedin the Army during the Viet-namWar, was inducted into theOhio Military Hall of Fame in2006.

“It’s a very prestigious hon-or,” Daugherty said.

The inductionceremonywillbegin at 11:30 a.m. May 3 at theOhio Statehouse in Columbus.

Before Ray Harvey reachedhis first birthday, his mother,Jennifer Bradford, knew therewas something special abouthowmusic touched his soul.Without knowing how to walkyet, he showed interest in play-ing the xylophone and strum-ming the guitar.

At age 2, Harvey of GoshenTownship was diagnosed withautism. Music was somethingthat always seemed to makehim happy, Bradford said. “Itwas an escape, and it was verycalming for him to do anythingwith music – listening to it orplaying it.”

With both his father andstepfather being musicians,Harvey always has been sur-rounded by music. Bradfordbought her son his first key-board when he was 3 years old,and he immediately started toteach himself to play.

“In kindergarten he startedlessons and we were surprisedwhen his teacher told us at hisfirst lesson that he actuallyalready knew how to read themusic,” Bradford said. Fromkindergarten through secondgrade, Harvey would lookforward to every Thursdaybecause he knew he couldwatch the band practice afterschool.

“When he was in kindergar-ten they had music once aweek, and the music roomwasacross from his classroom,”said Bradford. “They couldn’tkeep him out of it because ofthe piano, so they started usingit as a reward for good behav-ior, doing all of his work andfollowing the rules. Theywould let him go in there andplay the instruments.”

At home, Harvey has hisownmusic roomwith a fulldrum, trumpet, trombone,xylophone, full keyboard, tam-bourine, harmonica and vari-ous other percussion instru-

ments. He and his stepfather,Lonnie Buckley, have theirown little jam sessions righthere in our house,” said Brad-ford.

Harvey, who is now in thirdgrade, attends Spaulding Ele-mentary. In the beginning ofthe year, they continued usingmusic as a reward by lettinghim watch the fifth-grade bandpractice.

“The teachers would allowhim to pick up the instrumentsand they noticed that he knewhow to play themwithout evereven learning to play that in-

strument before. They sawpotential in him and let himjoin the band,” she said.

That gesture has enabledHarvey to flourish more thispast school year than his fam-ily has ever seen before. Eventhough he only speaks in two-to-three word sentences, Har-vey connects with the otherband members and showsleadership skills.

“He conducts, draws thescales on the chalkboard andteaches the other students,”said Bradford.

The teachers and specialistsat Spaulding are happy withHarvey’s involvement andresponse to the band.

“Ray’s musical gifts inspireothers and remind people ofthe importance of focusing onstudents’ abilities, rather thantheir disabilities,” said NatalieNeville, Spaulding Elementarysocial-communication andbehavior intervention special-ist. “Thanks to Ray’s involve-ment in band, the help of hisband teacher, Mrs. (Meliss)Mirus, and the support of hisparents, Ray has really grownbehaviorally, socially and aca-demically this year and we areall very proud of him.”

“He doesn’t need words totell us. It is completely obviousthat music is his life,” she said.“Band has given him the confi-dence that he never has hadbefore. You should see how hewalks down the hall carryinghis trombone with his headheld high. He feels like hebelongs to something now.”

Harvey’s confidence withmusic has carried over to theway he is socially interactingwith others as well, said Brad-ford. “Before this, he reallyonly had eye contact with me,his stepfather, dad or his aids.You had to force it out of him.He now is looking people in theeye a lot more than he used to.It is unbelievable the way mu-sic and band have helped himblossom.”

70TH WEDDINGANNIVERSARYRalph & Donna

Swisshelm celebratedtheir anniversary withfamily & friends at the

Bethel UnitedMethodist Church.

I met Larry Johnson,aka the Cooking Provost,throughmy son Jason.

Jason and Larry workat University of Cincin-nati. Jason teaches elec-trical engineering and

does re-search;Larry isprovost,second incommandbehind thepresident.“Larry isone fantas-tic cook,”Jason toldme.

When I chatted withLarry, I found out justhow important education,food, family and friendsare to him. Larry grew upon the south side of Chi-cago and came fromhumble beginnings. Hisgeneration, like mine,was first to graduatecollege. Larry grew upcooking for his brotherswhile his parents worked.

“Dad trained all fourof us boys to be entrepre-neurs whomake a differ-ence,” he said.

Larry worked in res-taurants starting at age12. His educational jour-ney brought him to Cin-cinnati, and he’s stillmaking a difference

through his work and,interestingly enough, hiscooking, both at home forhis wife and kids, and atUC. Larry cooks fromscratch and preservesjars and jars of food. He’slegendary for bringingstaff and students togeth-er through quarterlyfoodie events. Last fall hemade 400 pounds of pota-to salad and slaw for abarbecue event. This ishis way of team building.By bringing students andstaff together to share hisfood, camaraderieabounds everyone startsout on a trustful, friendlyfooting.

Larry is a spontaneousand generous cook, andshares his FindlayMar-ket award-winning barbe-cue sauce today. Wouldn’tthis be delish brushedover a big slab of ribs forthe Super Bowl!

Bubba/LarryJohnson’s barbecuesauce

30 oz. ketchup60 oz. tomato sauce1 tablespoon chili powderseasoning

1⁄2 cup Frank’s RedHotcayenne pepper sauce

1⁄2 cup raspberry or applecider vinegar

2 teaspoons cumin

4 cups packed dark brownsugar

3 tablespoons Old Bayseasoning

1 finely chopped garlic clove

Larry’s words of wis-dom: “When I makesomething I try to un-derstand the ‘theory’ ofthe dish so I don’t followrecipes closely. Rather, Iunderstand what makesthe essence of the dish Iam trying to create and Iadjust components toaccommodate what I amtrying to create to makesomething unique. In thisrecipe I’m trying to makebarbecue sauce that istangy, sweet, with a littlebite and unique flavors.The ketchup and vinegarprovides tang. The darkbrown sugar provides

sweetness, and usingdark brown sugar pro-vides a richness youwon’t get from othersweeteners. The heat andunique flavors comefrom hot sauce andspices. Finally, garlicadds a component notusually found in barbe-cue sauces. Adjust pro-portions to meet yourtastes. Once you havemixed all ingredientstogether and let simmeron the stove under slowheat for two to threehours, the sauce getsthicker and flavors allmeld into a rich sauce. Asit simmers, stir peri-odically or sugar in saucewill burn, but if it burns alittle all is not lost, you’lljust have a nice, smokyflavor.”

Roasted shrimpcocktail shooterswith firecrackersauce

Roasting keeps everybit of flavor right in theshrimp. A Super Bowlfave at our house.

1pound jumbo shrimp(16-20 count), shellspeeled, deveined, tails lefton

1generous tablespoonminced garlic

Olive oilSalt and freshly groundpepper to taste

Palmful of fresh mincedparsley

Preheat oven to 450degrees. Toss shrimpwith garlic and enougholive oil to coat. Spreadon sprayed baking sheet.

Roast three minutes andturn. Continue to roastjust until shrimp areopaque and firm, anothercouple of minutes. Don’tovercook as residual heatwill continue to cookthem. Season and sprin-kle with parsley. Chill atleast two hours beforeserving.

Firecracker sauceAll I can say is this is

addictive.Whisk together:

1 cupmayonnaise1⁄4 cupMae Ploy sweet chilisauce

Up to 1 tablespoon Srirachaor other hot sauce(optional)

Lemon juice to taste: startwith a tablespoon and gofrom there

Do you know whatrights you have if thenew vehicle you leasesuddenly starts havingmajor problems?

An area man took hisvehicle back to the deal-ership several times – formore than a year – butcomplains the problemnever went away.

George Spinner ofPleasant Ridge said heleased his new vehicle atthe end of 2011. Althoughhe loved the car’s stylingand interior he soon hadproblems with stalling.

“The car started dyingat stop lights or if youstopped in traffic. It alsowould hesitate and lose

power.Sometimesit wouldn’tgo above3,000RPMs or25 miles anhour,”Spinnersaid.

Spinnertook the

car to his dealershipseveral times and, al-though parts were re-placed, the dealer couldnot reproduce the prob-lems.

“The car produced nocomputer codes. Occa-sionally it would do allthose things, but they

were inconsistent. Youcould drive for a weekand it’ll be fine and then,all of a sudden, it woulddo it three or four times aday,” Spinner said.

Over a period of sev-eral months the dealer-ship replaced severalfuel sensors and fuelpumps, but the problemdidn’t go away. Then, thelast time Spinner says ithappened, it was scary.

“The car starts jerki-ng back and forth. I gotoff the highway on Route4 and the car stalled atthe light. I almost got inan accident because of itbecause cars behind mewere coming and I just

had a chance to pullover,” he said.

Spinner said he has astack of service recordsto prove the vehicle justis not safe. In fact, hesays, he’s afraid to driveit. While the averageyearly miles put on avehicle is about 12,000miles, Spinner has onlyput a little more than4,700 miles on his car.

What about the newcar Lemon Law, whichdeclares a vehicle to belemon if it’s in the shopmore than three timesfor the same problemwithin one year or 18,000miles? It applies to leasesas well as purchases andSpinner did file a claimwith the manufacturer.He argued his problems

certainly affect the safe-ty, value or use of thevehicle, as required bythe statute. But, he says,the manufacturer deniedthe claim because it be-lieved all the repairs hadfixed the vehicle.

After that latest in-cident in which he almostgot into an accident,Spinner brought the carback to the dealershipagain. He also beganfiling with the BetterBusiness Bureau’s AutoLine Program.

“At this point, the wayI see it I really don’t wantthis car back because it’sunsafe. It clearly, to me,qualifies for a LemonLaw,” he said.

Fortunately that lastincident prompted the

manufacturer to call himand say it will take backthe vehicle under theLemon Law. Spinner sayshe still loves that modelcar, but just wants to getanother one.

Remember, if youhave a new vehicle andfeel it qualifies as a lem-on under the law, you canfile a claim with the Bet-ter Business Bureau’sAuto Line Program. Itcan act as a third-partymediator if you have aproblem with the manu-facturer.

HowardAinHEY HOWARD!

The wind chill thismorning was below zero.It is painfully cold out-side and a number ofschools were on a two-hour delay. I don’t knowhowmuch warmer it is at10 a.m. than 8:00 a.m., butI guess it is. Meteorol-ogists are saying temper-atures are as much as 25degrees below normal.It’s not just painfullycold, it’s dangerouslycold.

We’ve also had somehigh winds recently andthat can mean poweroutages. That is a serioussafety concern in se-

verelycoldweather.When thewindchill isbelowzero andyourfurnaceis off, the

indoor temperature willdrop quickly. It can be-come dangerous to stayin your home after only afew hours. Youmust beable to call for help.

Unfortunately, whenthe power is out, cordlessand digital phones don’t

work. Many seniors donot have cell phones - andcell phones run out ofpower anyway. A cord-less phone is false securi-ty. In fact, even a cordedphone with a built-inanswering machine maynot work without elec-tricity. Test it by unplug-ging the electrical cordand see if the phone stillworks.

Everyone that getstheir phone service froma telephone companyshould keep a no-frills,standard, corded phonein their home. If youdon’t have a secondphone jack, keep thecorded phone in yourcloset and plug it in whenthe power goes off. Aphone like this can bepurchased at discountstores for less than $10and it could save yourlife. Unfortunately, if youhave digital phone ser-vice from a cable compa-ny, this won’t work.

Digital phone linesdon’t work when the pow-er is off. I was remindedof this during a poweroutage a few years ago.We bundled our phoneline with our cable andInternet service to get aspecial price, but now thephone is dead when thepower is off. I didn’t havea full charge on my cellphone, so I sat in thegarage with my cellphone plugged into thecar to talk to a co-worker.(Remember, never runthe car motor with thegarage doors closed.)

In frigid weather, itcan be dangerous even towalk to a neighbor’shouse. Howwill you letsomeone know if youneed help? Have a safetyplan in place. Make sureyou are able to contactsomeone or know thatsomeone is checking onyou. Let your neighborsknow that when the pow-er is off, you cannot callfor help. Give them anumber they can call foryou. If at all possible,have a phone that workswithout electricity.

For about $30 to $50you can get an emergen-cy radio that is poweredby a crank - not batteries.Some have flashlightsand are able to chargecell phones, too.

The time to plan for anemergency is before ithappens - that meansnow.

friends here for the noonmeal last Thursday. TheywereMort and Barb. Themenu for the meal wasboiled turnips, Harvardbeets, salad, pork chops,sweet potatoes, bananabread, green tea andlemon pie for dessert.

One morning lastweek, while we wereeating breakfast, I waslooking out the windowwatching the sun comeacross the field as theclouds moved. It is excit-ing to watch nature.

Ruth Ann has beenwanting to look at thepictures we have. Thereare a bunch. So while itwas so cold, we did someand put some into al-bums. I imagine you folkshave bunches of old pic-tures like us. One bookhad pictures of when Iwas working here at thepark. They sure broughtback memories of somegood times and showedsome hard work. I alwaysliked the park work andmiss some of the activ-

Howdyfolks,

Theother day Isaw a pile-ated wood-pecker ona tree. Wecould get agood lookat it. Theyare so

beautiful. We could hearone pecking on a tree.While I was walkingthrough the woods, byour place, I saw a big holeon a dead limb. I wentover and saw the chipslaying on the ground. Thehole was big enough for asquirrel to get in.

Last Wednesday, Jan.16, Ruth Ann and I at-

tended the P.E.R.I. meet-ing in Batavia at Gram-ma’s Pizza. The new offi-cers were installed forthe new year. Then nextmeeting will be heldMarch 20 at the BataviaTownship Hall on CloughPike at 11:30 a.m. Thishall is a very beautifulbuilding.

We had a couple of

ities. The East Fork StatePark is a beautiful parkwith lots of activities andthings to do. One is extragood fishing with bigCrappie and other fish tocatch.

I was rolling up someof the plastic fence weuse to keep deer andrabbits out of the gardenone day last week while itwas warm and I had“help.” Chessy wouldjump on the fence as Ipulled it to roll up. Whenthe fence got too heavy topull, I saw Chessy sittingon it. As I got closer tothe end she would jumpoff, then when I got an-other one she was thereto help me. What a bless-ing she is.

Ruth Ann and I cele-brated our anniversarylast Wednesday of 54years by attending theP.E.R.I. meeting. So lastSaturday at noon, alongwith our friends Tony andKate, we went to RedLobster and had a shrimpmeal. We considered this

our anniversary meal.Last Sunday after

This was aspecial time for us.

Last Monday evening,the Bethel Lions Clubmeeting had the specialguest of theMayor ofBethel Alan Ausman andhis lovely wife, Sharon.The mayor told the clubwhat is in store for theBethel area to beautifythe town and the LionsClub will be helping insome small way.
