BETHEL – Candidates run-ning for mayor and one of twoseats on Bethel Village Councilare divided on the village’s halfpercent tax on earned incomethat was recently adopted aftermonths of debate.
Supporters include MayorAlan Ausman and councilmember Lucy Shepherd, whoare both seeking re-election, aswell as council candidate DawnR. Hollifield. Mayoral chal-lengers Jennifer Noble andRus Whitley and council chal-lengers Jay Noble and JanessaBrown oppose the income tax.
On Sept. 10, Bethel VillageCouncil voted 5 to 1 to place thehalf percent income tax on resi-dents who work outside the vil-lage, non-residents who workin Bethel, and on net profitsearned by Bethel businessesand corporations. Collections
are expected to start sometimenext year, possibly by March.
Bethel Village Counciladopted the income tax aftervoters soundly defeated a po-lice levy in a special electionAug. 4 and council failed toadopt a 1 percent income tax inApril that supporters said wasneeded to avoid drastic cuts tothe Bethel Police Department.
“The reason I supported theincome tax is that it takes theburden off those who are re-tired, disabled or unem-ployed,” Ausman said. “Also,our property value in our vil-lage has not bounced back fromthe 2008 mortgage bubble so itwould take a large propertylevy to fund our police, whichmakes it less likely that the vot-ers would ever pass a levyagain. I also believe you can’tbe a livable community withoutpolice, and the income tax willgive us the ability to get our po-lice back to full-time status.”
Shepherd could not bereached for comment, but shejoined most of council on Sept.10 in approving the half per-cent income tax.
Hollifield said she “justdidn’t see any way around thehalf percent income tax” be-cause of the loss of state fund-ing in recent years.
“The opiate epidemic is ev-erywhere right now, and I thinkour police force is needed todeal with that,” Hollifield said.“I think they need to be therefor our protection and safety.”
Whitley said he opposes alltaxes, and the village doesn’tneed any more taxes.
Council candidate JanessaBrown has said funding of thepolice department needs to beaddressed, but she offered nospecifics. She described the po-lice levy that was defeated inAugust as “last minute” and thehalf percent income tax ulti-mately adopted as “a midnight
hour solution” and a stop gapmeasure that will burden manyBethel wage earners who areearning minimum wage.
Jennifer Noble said she sup-ports police coverage for Be-thel, but she doesn’t think a halfpercent income tax is the rightanswer.
“I do not think the admini-stration kept our police cover-age No. 1 on their priority listwhere it should be and had oth-er priorities above the policedepartment which absorbedfunding that in turn created theneed for more to sustain,” shesaid.
Her husband, Jay Noble,said he supports a full-time Be-thel police force, but he thinksthe reasoning offered by thecurrent administration, mayorand council doesn’t justify “theexcessive need that was pre-sented to the public for such alarge amount of funding.”
When one factors in revenue
from the income tax, the expi-ration of the current policelevy at the end of 2015 and thecurrent police departmentfunding from the general fund,Mr. Noble calculates the endresult will be a $100,000 surplusin the general fund. He saidtaxpayers have yet to hear howBethel’s administration andelected officials plan to spendthat.
“Are they going to commit togiving all of it to our police tomake them stronger and moreefficient?” he asked. “Or arethey going to use the $100,000for wish list items and leave thepolice department operatingon the same budget?” he asked.“These are the questions thatmany residents, including my-self, need answered...”

UNION TOWNSHIP – Fred-dy’s Frozen Custard & Steak-burgers has opened its firstOhio location in ClermontCounty’s Union Township.
The restaurant opened Oct.20 at 3792 Waterford Parkwayjust off Ohio Pike in UnionTownship. A second ClermontCounty location at 907 Busi-ness 28 in Miami Township thathas a Milford mailing addressis in the early planning stages,and a third restaurant isplanned for 9301 Winton Roadin Cincinnati.
The fast-casual restaurantfranchise offers a variety ofmenu options, including leanground beef steakburgers,Vienna Beef hot dogs, andshoestring fries. It’s known forits signature desserts, includ-ing freshly-churned chocolateor vanilla custard that’ssmoother and richer tastingthan ice cream. The frozencustard is made fresh through-
out the day at each location.The 3,213-square-foot free-
standing Union Township Fred-dy’s seats 100, with additionalpatio seating and drive-thruservice. Hours at the UnionTownship restaurant are 10:30a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday-Thursdayand 10:30 a.m.-11 p.m. Fridayand Saturday.
“We chose this site becauseit has many of the features forwhich we look, including high-way proximity,” said MattSaunders, head of developmentfor PSP Foods, Freddy’s fran-chisee. “We feel (Union Town-ship) is a great fit for the fam-ily-friendly atmosphere atFreddy’s.”
PSP Foods and managementgroup, RGT Management Inc.broke ground on the Freddy’sin Union Township in June,Saunders said. That restauranthas an Amelia mailing address.
“As soon as we have our(Union Township) locationopen, operating smoothly anddoing well, we hope to continueour area growth over the next
several years,” Saunders said. At a recent meeting of the
Miami Township Board ofTrustees in Clermont County,Zoning Administrator BrianElliff said he has been in dis-cussion with the general con-tractor for a Freddy’s locationthere and anticipates an appli-cation for a remodel of theformer Business 28 Taco Bellthat has a Milford mailing
address. That Taco Bell will bevacated when a newly con-structed Taco Bell opens nextdoor.
The Union Township Fred-dy’s is the 166th such restau-rant in 23 states. Twenty-fourFreddy’s restaurants are underconstruction in various partsof the U.S., and 15 of those arescheduled to open before theend of the year, Saunders said.
World War II veteran Fred-dy Simon opened the firstFreddy’s in Wichita, Kansas inthe 1950s, according to thecompany’s website. As it doestoday, that restaurant offered amenu of comfort food builtaround a steakburger.

GOSHEN TOWNSHIP– Pohlman Pharmacy, oneof Goshen Township’soldest businesses, closedits doors for the last timeOct. 21 after more than40 years in business.
For generations ofloyal customers, theclosing of the little drug-store with a sign reminis-cent of the 1950s markedthe end of an era.Throughout the U.S.,national chains are rap-idly replacing indepen-dent drugstores in smalltowns and rural commu-nities.
“Independent pharma-cies are a dying breed,”said Pohlman’s pharmacytechnician Percy Guev-remont of Goshen.“Here, customers are aname, not a number.”
With Pohlman’s clo-sure, pharmacist JosephMcAuliffe, who boughtthe business 33 yearsago, says he’s hoping toslow down a little fromthe 12-hour days he’sworked the past 18 to 20years. At 71, McAuliffe, awidower who was thesole pharmacist at Pohl-man’s for the past coupledecades, plans to traveland spend more timewith his seven grand-children.
“Lately, the hours
were getting to be toomuch,” he said. “My legswere starting to give out.And I wanted to have a
life.” Prescriptions from
Pohlman Pharmacy willbe transferred to theWalgreen’s drugstore atthe southwest corner ofWoodville Pike and Ohio28. For the next couple ofmonths at least, McAu-liffe will be behind theprescription counter atWalgreen’s filling themon what for him is a part-time schedule, 30 to 40hours a week.
“I’ll be working (atWalgreen’s) until the endof the year for sure, thenI’ll start slowing down,”said McAuliffe, a Hoo-
sier native who now callsAnderson Townshiphome. “The computerwill be down there andI’ll be down there, so itshould be a smooth tran-sition. I’m going to makesure my customers aretaken care of.”
During Pohlman’sfinal days in operation,customers stopped by toexchange hugs and hand-shakes with McAuliffeand reminisce about theservice he’d provided tothe community.
“This is the only phar-macy my family everhad,” said 86-year-oldPatricia Sumpter of Mil-ford. “I’ll miss Joe be-cause I really trust him.But I guess everythinghas to change.”
Tina Fowler has pa-tronized Pohlman’s for 10years.
“When you’re a cus-tomer here, Joe becomesa part of your family,”the 49-year-old Goshenresident said. “There’s notime that I don’t walk inhere that he doesn’t greetme by name. He does itwith everybody. He’samazing. It’ll be sad tosee him go.”
Goshen native Angel
Grosnickle developedCrohn’s Disease as ateenager, and the 53-year-old has battled can-cer three times. In de-scribing McAuliffe, sheuses superlatives such as“the best pharmacist inthe world.”
“I’ll really miss Joe,”Grosnickle said, as sheoffered her long-timepharmacist a farewellhug. “I’ve had 17 majorsurgeries, and he’s savedmy life every time.”
When Pohlman’sopened in 1971, the phar-macy was across Ohio 28on what is now the Krog-er property.
As a child, Goshenresident Erwin Walkerrecalls riding his bike toPohlman’s to buy birth-day cards and cassettetapes.
On Sept. 1, 1982,McAuliffe, a graduate ofthe University of Cincin-nati’s pharmacy school,purchased the businessfrom Charlie Pohlman.By then, it had moved toits final location at theintersection at Ohio 28and 132.
In the early years,McAuliffe,who had got-ten his start working as
pharmacies in Indiana,had another pharmacistworking with him atPohlman’s. However, forthe last couple of dec-ades, he’s been the solepharmacist. When Pohl-man’s closed, it had asupport staff of fourfull-time employees.
With Pohlman’s clo-sure, the nostalgic‘drugs’ sign out frontwith the chasing lightsthat were grandfatheredin by county ordinanceyears ago, will go to theAmerican Sign Museumin Cincinnati’s CampWashington neighbor-hood. The future of thebuilding McAuliffeleased for decades isunknown.
One long-time Pohl-man’s customer who’ssince moved to Florida,expressed the sentimentsof many when he recent-ly posted on Facebook: “Imoved away many manyyears ago, but that build-ing will always be part ofGoshen..(.I’m) sad it’sclosing.”

OCTOBER 29, 2015 • BETHEL JOURNAL • 5ANEWS
This still boggles my mind: Halloween is second onlyto Christmas as the most decorated holi-day. Not so when I was a kid. The housewasn’t decorated, and the eight girls in ourfamily were either witches or gypsies. Mybrother, Charlie, the last born, was alwaysa hobo. We used whatever we could find todress up and we left at dark, by ourselves,and came home with grocery paper bagsfull of treats.
Fast forward to Halloween 2015. Even ifparental rules are stricter, Halloween isstill so much fun! Here are last-minuterecipes for a ghoulishly good Halloween.
Homemade microwave popcornCheck out my Abouteating.com site. You won’t believe
how easy and inexpensive, not to mention healthy andamazingly tender it is. (Hint: 1/2 cup unpopped cornmakes a generous 8 cups, but there’s a secret technique!)

Homemade Halloween treats kids can help make‘Glowing’ swamp punch
Let the kids help. They love the creepycrawler ice ring.
1 cup boiling water2 packages, 4-serving size each, lime
Pour boiling water over gelatin andstir until dissolved. Stir in cold water. Pourinto punch bowl. Stir in soda, making mix-ture fizz.
Unmold ice ring by dipping bottom ofmold briefly into hot water. Float in punch.Serve cups garnished with gummy worms.
Creepy crawler ice ring1 cup gummyworms or other creepy crawler gummies
1 quart lemon-lime sports drink likeGatorade
Arrange gummy worms in bottom of5-cup ring mold; fill with Gatorade. Freezeuntil solid.
Black cat cookie pops
Again, let the kids help. Don’t worry iftheir cookies look like something other thancats. It’s about creativity and fun, not perfec-tion.
1 cup creamy peanut butter1/3 cup water2 eggs1 box chocolate cake mixPopsicle sticksSugarCandy corn, red hots
Preheat oven to 350. Beat peanutbutter with water and eggs. Add cake mixand mix. Form into 1-1/2” balls and place onsprayed cookie sheet. Push in a popsiclestick. Flatten with bottom of glass dipped insugar. Pinch two “ears” at top of cookie.Press fork into dough to form whiskers oneither side of nose. Bake 10-12 minutes.Remove from oven and immediately addcandy corn eyes and red-hot nose, pushingin gently. If they happen to fall off afterthey cool, glue them on with a little pow-dered sugar glaze or canned frosting. Makes2-3 dozen
My best caramel corn
This makes a lot so feel free to divide in half. Adding driedfruit elevates this to a new dimension.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
15-16 cups or so of popped cornAbout 3 cups salted mixed nuts2 sticks or butter2 cups brown sugar1/2 cup light corn syrup1/2 teaspoon salt1 tablespoon vanilla1/2 teaspoon baking soda2 cups dried cranberries, cherries or apricots (opt)
To avoid sticking, use vegetable spray to coat both inside oflarge bowl, cookie sheets and spoons that you will use. Put popcornand nuts in bowl. Set aside. Over medium heat in a large pan, bringto a boil everything but the soda. Boil 5 minutes. Add baking sodaand stir. Mixture will foam up. Immediately pour over popcornmixture, stirring well to coat. Pour in a single layer onto sprayedcookie sheets. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to distributecoating. Let cool for coating to harden; add fruit, and store at roomtemperature in covered containers. Makes about 20 cups.
Tip from Rita’s kitchenAfter popping corn, place in colander or bowl and scoop up
popcorn gently with hands. Any unpopped corn will lie in bottom ofbowl.

A publication of
What doesthe Zoontjensfamily of TheNetherlandshave in com-mon with PaulScott of Mul-berry?
At firstglance, itwould seemnot much.
They lived in different coun-tries. They never met. Theywere separated in time by 70years. The bond, however, isdeep and abiding.
Paul was born in 1921 andgrew up in Mulberry. He at-tended Milford schools. Heenlisted in the U.S. Army AirCorps several months aftergraduating from Terrace ParkHigh School. Paul trained as aradio operator and waist gun-ner on a bomber. After traininghe was assigned to the 453rd
Bomber Squadron of the 8thU.S. Air Force based in Essex,England.
On March 26, 1944, Sgt.Scott and five other crewmembers boarded the “ToidBoid,” a B26C Marauder, for abombing run over Holland. Asit approached its target at 2:44in the afternoon, it came underheavy enemy anti-aircraftartillery fire. The “Toid Boid”opened its bomb bay doors.Before it could drop its load, anartillery shell struck the plane.Flames streamed from itswings to its tail. It spiraledsteeply down - crashing intothe sand dunes near Ijmuiden,Holland. There were no survi-vors.
Roger Zoontjens’ grandfa-ther told him stories about thedark days of the Nazi occupa-tion - stories Roger has neverforgotten. Seventy-five per-cent of Holland’s Jews, in-
cluding Anne Frank, weremurdered in Nazi death camps.Hundreds of thousands ofmore Dutch citizens wereforced to labor in German warfactories.
Roger and his family wereimpressed by the level ofAmerican commitment to theliberation of Europe after vis-iting the American MilitaryCemetery at Normandy. Thefamily decided that they want-ed to show their gratitude tothe fallen Americans who diedfor their liberty 70 years ago.They filed an application to“adopt a grave” at the Margra-ten Cemetery in Limburg, TheNetherlands.
Originally, the cemeterycontained the graves of 18,764American service members.Today 8,301 graves remainafter repatriation. The “Adopt-a-grave” program developedspontaneously in 1945 when
to commemorate the liberationof Europe. He asked the Dutchto keep the shared experiencesof the war alive for futuregenerations. The Dutch agreedto continue the tradition ofhonoring their “Liberators”and to “reinvest in peace everyday.”
Roger, Patricia and Joepwere shocked to learn thatthere was a six month waiting
list to adopt their grave. Theywere thrilled when Sgt. Scottwas assigned to them. Theyhave decorated his grave, col-lected information, andreached out to the Scott family.Mary Scott, Paul’s 97-year-oldsister-in-law and 1936 Milfordgraduate, was very surprisedwhen the Zoontjens contactedher and is very grateful forwhat they have done.
We sometimes undervalueour veteran’s contributions. Itis reassuring that the Dutchpeople have remembered andcontinue to honor the sacri-fices of Americans who diedliberating their country.
Thank you Roger, Patriciaand Joep.

Oct. 22 questionWho-dey? How far will the
Bengals go this year?
“Super Bowl 50 champs.” D.H.
“The Bengals will go fartherthan the Reds did, but thenagain, how hard can that be?They are playing well and win-ning consistently – Yay! Now, ifthey can keep the injuries to a minimum we might just havesomething in this team. Since they are playing so well andselling many seats, can we renegotiate the asinine deal ourstupid city leaders agreed to with Mr. Brown? It is beyondridiculous for this city with its level of financial woes to haveto pay so much to keep a team here that gives darned nearnothing back. I want to have pride in this team and I do, butthat pride gets very muddled when thinking about how thor-oughly Brown takes the city to the cleaners year after yearafter year.”
M.J.F.
“The Bengals are an exciting team with many great play-ers on offense and defense. Barring major injuries (like lastyear) they are playoff bound. It would be great if they canget a first round bye in the playoffs along with home fieldadvantage. But the New England Patriots stand in their way.The wish here is someone can knock of New England prior tothe Bengals having to face them in the playoffs. That mightjust propel the Bengals to the Super Bowl ala the 1981 and1988 seasons. Like those two years the Bengals are loadedwith many class act players. Go Figure!”

Winter is right around thecorner, and with it comes cold-er weather and higher heatingbills. October is NationalWeatherization Month, so nowis the time to begin preparinghomes in order to conserveenergy and save money.
At People Working Coopera-tively we’ve been providingservices to the low-income,elderly and disabled citizens ofGreater Cincinnati for 40 yearsto help keep their homes warmand their bills low, and we’veput together a few easy tips forhomeowners to prepare theirhome this season.
Step one of preparing ahome for winter is checkingthe windows and doors. Theseare two of the areas it is easi-est for heat to escape and coldair to enter a home. Beginoutside, checking the seal be-tween windows and siding.Homeowners may need to stripaway layers of old paint andcaulking before re-caulking toensure a tight seal.
After sealing the outside,homeowners should moveinside and check the weatherstripping on their windows. Ifthe weather stripping looksworn down it should be re-placed. Just sealing windowscould save 15 percent off ener-
gy bills thiswinter.
Installing aprogrammablethermostat isanother greatway for home-owners to savemoney on theirenergy bill.For every de-gree a thermo-
stat is set back over an eight-hour period, homeowners cansave as much as one percent ontheir energy bill each month.It’s easy to program the ther-mostat to turn the heat down atnight while everyone is sleep-ing and during the day whilethe house is empty, but beginto warm it back up when thefamily will be up and aroundthe house.
Checking the furnace early -before it gets really cold - is agood rule of thumb. Waking upon the first truly cold day ofthe season to discover the fur-nace isn’t working is a situa-tion homeowners want toavoid. Call in a professional toevaluate the furnace and pro-vide any tune-up necessary.Annual maintenance keepsfurnaces running safely andefficiently and avoids largerproblems down the line.
Another easy maintenancetip is to change your air filter.Filters should be changed ev-ery few months, and it’s a goodidea to change it out before thefurnace gets heavy use. Thenew filter helps with efficien-cy, keeps air clean, and helpsto keep the family healthy.
It’s also important to cleangutters twice a year to makesure they are working proper-ly. Now that leaves have start-ed falling, it’s a good idea forhomeowners to check theirgutters for debris includinganimal nests, branches, leaves,and anything else that mayhave landed on the roof. Home-owners should also ensure thattheir downspout is pointedaway from the house to avoiderosion to the foundation be-cause of run-off.
Taking the time to weather-ize could mean significantsavings on energy bills thiswinter. We encourage home-owners to evaluate their ener-gy use and take some of thesesteps to ensure their homesstay warm and efficient thiswinter.

“It was thebest of times, itwas the best oftimes.” A littledifferent fromthe “A Tale ofTwo Cities”quote, isn’t it?
That firstsentence de-scribes mydays in North-
west Ohio last month. Lots oftime was spent with familymembers and then bonus dayswith my mom talking aboutelements of her “Binder of aLifetime” (BoaL.)
“What’s a BoaL?” you mayask (though I’m thinking many
of you can accurately guess.)For those of us who strugglewith organizational skills and/or large projects, a BoaL is asystematic, phased approachto assembling important itemsfrom one’s life all in one place.
One BoaL activity was hav-ing my mom finish off the“Good-to-Go Toolkit.” Fruits ofthose labors included having acompleted values worksheetdescribing what is important toher on topics related to livingand dying. Her answers of-fered opportunities for dis-cussion on some philosophicaltopics we might never haveconfronted otherwise. Theywere indeed some of the best
of times, especially since wegot to talk about bucket listitems completed and thosecoming up soon!
Using that toolkit also re-sulted in us examining, re-completing and notarizing herliving will, durable power ofattorney for health care plusexamining the trust she andmy dad did many years agobefore his death. The toolkitinstructions highlight the factthat these documents shouldbe completed by all of us,whether we’re in our 80s, inour 20s or at any point in adult-hood.
In a similar vein, MountWashington Presbyterian
Church is hosting a five-weekseminar series entitled “BeingSMART About Living and Dy-ing.” Experts from our areawill be discussing importanttopics that help with BoaLefforts, including the LivingWill and Durable PoA4HC (formore about that series, go towww.mwpc.church).
Do your loved ones knowyour gratitude in life and yourwishes for living and dying? Ifnot, maybe it’s time to formal-ize your bucket list, completethe Good-to-Go toolkit, attendsome of the MWPC seminarseries and/or spend time ask-ing and answering questions.Whichever you do, my guess is
that it will result in some of thebest of times, providing animportant gift to you and yourloved ones.

BETHEL – They didn’t havea long time to celebrate, but theBethel-Tate High School boyscross country team won theSouthern Buckeye Conference-National Division champion-ship Oct. 17 at Goshen.
Jackson Coates broughthome the individual champion-ship, outdueling Felicity-Frank-lin’s Jared Boeckmann downthe stretch to win 16:54.33 to16:54.81, by less than a half-sec-ond. Both runners would havewon the SBAAC-American raceamong the bigger schools hand-ily.
Other Tigers in the top 25were Justin Royer in seventh at18:18.97, Zane Royer 10th in18:37.67, Noah Rees 11th in18:38.30, Evan Iding 19th in19:41.25, Matt Hall 22nd in19:44.30 and Jacob Reinhart24th in 19:51.92.
After the bus ride home, itwas back to business as CoachPam Taylor hoped to keep ad-vancing the Tigers. Even in rou-
tine laps around the schoolproperty, she coaxes her run-ners to get the best of them-selves.
Coates doesn’t need muchcoaxing.
“He’s won almost all of theraces,” Taylor said. “He’s such agood kid. He wants to be No. 1.He’s got the determination andhe wants to go to State.”
The sophomore missed a re-cent practice with an orthodon-tist appointment, but Taylorwas sure he would still get hiswork in. Over the summer, theteam was able to pick betweenconditioning on two nights ortwo mornings. Coates choseboth.
He was first discovered as ajunior high phenom from Tay-lor’s teaching time down theroad at the middle school.
“I knew he was good at run-ning a mile because I had him inphys ed class,” Taylor said. “Hehas it inside of himself that hewants to do it. That’s the key. Hejust loves to run and push him-self.”
In the Division II district,
Race 1 at Voice of AmericanPark Oct. 24, the sophomore fin-ished second in 16:52.7 to ad-vance to the regional meet inTroy.
Over the years, Taylor hasplucked runners like Coatesfrom gym class, the hallway orto help in conditioning for othersports. If you have a pair ofshoes, you’re good to go.
“I’ll take anyone that wants
to run,” Taylor said. “It doesn’tmatter how fast or slow theyare. It’s something they can dolife long.”
The Bethel-Tate girls wererepresented at the SBAAC meetwith a few top 25 finishes. LuciaLopez took 14th in 21:47.46, Alli-son Parks was 16th in 21:50.72and Morgan Reinhart was 17thin 22:11.10. Just behind wereBreanna Keyser in 23rd at
22:51.50 and Taylor Fischer in23:12.48.
In the Division II districtmeet, Lopez was 22nd at 22:07.1and Reinhart was 26th at22:36.8.
Lopez is a foreign exchangestudent from Spain who justjoined the team for this sea-son.The top finisher for Felici-ty-Franklin’s girls at the leaguemeet was Kaitlin Sharp in 22ndat 22:43.47. The sophomore took12th in the district meet at Voiceof America Park Oct. 24 in22:27.6 to move to the regionalgathering.
The Cardinals boys teamtook third in the SBAAC-Nation-al behind Bethel-Tate andGeorgetown, with Jared Boeck-mann leading the pack. BehindBoeckmann in third was Brad-ley Elkins at 17:42.99. Aiden Bi-nion was 14th at 18:53.35 andAustin Rutherford was 16th at19:20.45.
At the Division III districtmeet, sophomore Boeckmannfinished third in 17:01.2 to moveto the regional meet in Troy. Theteam finished seventh.

MT. WASHINGTON – Lastyear, McNicholas quarterbackLuke Sulken set a high bar forcurrent starter CameronHaynes, accumulating betterthan 2,000 all-purpose yardsand amassing 23 touchdowns.
Coach Mike Orlando, andHaynes, hoped he would atleast match Sulken’s perfor-mance if not exceed it. In theearly stages, Haynes strug-gled with two touchdowns andthree interceptions.
“Honestly, it was probablyunfair for us to think he was go-ing to come out and matchLuke’s production,” Orlandosaid. “Luke primarily did stuffwith his legs and Cam just has adifferent skillset. It took sometime. He’d show signs, thenhe’d regress. But right now,he’s playing his best football.”
As soon as the Rockets hitthe conference schedule,Haynes started to improve.Haynes credits the turnaroundto putting extra time in the filmroom and with coaches.
Against Purcell Marian, hetossed three touchdownsagainst one interception.Against Chaminade- Julienne,he completed all but two of hispasses.
Against Alter, Haynesthrew for 428 yards and threetouchdowns.
“He needed a game like thatand deserved a game likethat,” Orlando said. “Eventhough it came in a loss, itdoesn’t diminish the fact heprogressed.”
Cole Carmosino, one of
Haynes’ favorite targets inthat game, hauled in sevenpasses for 197 yards and twoscores. Running back AdamHisch added 125 receivingyards of his own.
As of Oct. 23, Haynes led theGreater Catholic League-Coedin passing with 1,661 yards.
“These past few weeks, theoffense has clicked,” Haynessaid. “We’ve been playing pret-ty well. It was just a slowstart.”
Time and again, Orlandohas said the team relies heavilyon its defense. Now that it ap-pears its offense has caughtup, McNicholas can still be afactor within the GCL-CoedCentral race – a fact Haynessaid doesn’t apply any extrapressure. He feels they will goout and execute.
“In the GCL we learned thehard way that you can’t takeany game for granted,” thecoach said. “There are somethings still out there for us. Theplayoffs are pretty much gone,but we do have a shot to win ourfourth GCL title in a row, whichno one at McNick has done be-fore.”

Members of the General Assem-
bly clearly voiced their support for
a smoke-free Kentucky bill for the
2015 session last week that mirrors
previously failed legislation in 2014.
Denouncing the argument that a
smoke-free bill prohibiting smoking
in public places would kill business,
Brent Cooper, a business owner
from northern Kentucky, said not
only are businesses prospering
across the Ohio River in Cincinnati
with a smoke-free law, but that the
pubs in Ireland haven’t shut down
since the country put a ban on
smoking in the workplace 10 years
ago.Many legislators conferred that
public smoking was indefensible in
Kentucky given the state’s bad
health ratings compared to other
states throughout the U.S.
According to testimony from
Wayne Meriwether, CEO of Twin
Lakes Regional Medical Center,
second-hand smoke is just as dan-
gerous for those that don’t smoke.

all Kentuckians smoke. We lead the

They are 2,000 years old.There were two that were from a farm onFree Soil Road near Georgetown inBrown County. These items, called Clo-vis points, are estimated to be 20,000years old.

I was talking to A-M orchard. Theyhave apples to pick. They are golden deli-cious, wine sap, melrose and in the housethey have red delicious, golden deli-cious, courtland, and honey crisp. Theyalso have apple cider.
Ruth Ann always liked the wine sap tomake pies but all of the apples will makegood pies.
I was also talking to John Pringle
about his beautiful orchard. He said theyhave red delicious, golden delicious,melrose, wine sap and also cider.
I used to help his dad prune the appletrees and pick apples and peaches. Hehad a peach orchard and they were beau-tiful. There were three of us pickingpeaches and Roscoe’s wife was sellingthe peaches, there would be maybe threebushel setting at a time. One year RuthAnn and me were short on money so wewent and picked apples to get money tobuy groceries. John’s dad, Roscoe, was agreat orchard man and knew what hewas doing.
The telephone number for Pringle’sorchard is 625-9866 or the Apple house is625-1786. John told me he is plantingmore apple trees and next year hopes tostart another blackberry bed. The coldweather a few years ago killed his black-berry patch. I was glad to hear him say ablueberry bed also, that will be a greataddition to his orchard.
The Grants Farm above Owensvillewill have a new store next year. The onethey have now is in need of repair so theyare taking it down and putting anotherone in its place. If anyone is in need oftrees, the Grants have some that they areselling cheaper so go see them. They willhave several new items next year to sell.The store on 131is having a big sale on allitems. They still have tomatoes they arepicking. They told me they are plantingmore tomatoes in February or Marchnext year. They, along with the othergreenhouse, have sold over 12,000mums.
This morning Chester, while I wasstill sleeping and dreaming, jumped onme to get me up. When I did, his bowl ofdry food was empty. Last night I lookedat it and there was plenty of dry food in it.He sure ate heavy last night!
