Officials with the newly-formed Little Miami RiverChamber Alliance readily sharecredit for the partnership, butmost point to Cee Cee Collins asthe person who made it happen.
The Loveland Area Chamberof Commerce has officially ex-panded to include businesses inLoveland, Miami Township andSymmes Township.
Chamber President and CEOCollins served as emcee and in-troduced board chairman Dr.Jeff Kemmet for the announce-ment.
“She has been the final pieceto what I say is the pie; or puzzle.That would be Cee Cee Collins,”Kemmet said. “She has reallytaken it on; she’s taken it toheart.”
Applause cascaded downfrom the near 50 attending asCollins and Kemmet unveiledthe new Little Miami RiverChamber Alliance logo banner. Ithas the name and the names ofthe now allied communities setbeneath waves of blue andgreen.
“This is something that comesfrom before my time, from the
board of directors,” Collins said.“It’s something they’ve alwaysfelt the Loveland Chamber need-ed to do. That’s why it becamethe Loveland Area Chamber.”
Kemmet used the opportuni-ty to name all members of thecurrent board of directors – mostof whom were in attendance –and even Cory O’Donnell, whohelped set the vision for cham-ber expansion while serving onthe board previously. In an-nouncing the partnership of thethree business communities,Kemmet explained some of theplanning that led to formation ofthe alliance.
“Our board has set a lot ofgoals and we’ve been firm withthem,” Kemmet said explaininghow they set and stayed a steadycourse to meet those goals.Among those he said wereachieved was financial stabilityand building a successful model.“Providing support and advocat-ing for local businesses which isnumber one. Lastly, we wantedto set up proper staffing to facili-tate the operation so we couldmake everything come togetherto work.”
Collins returned to the podi-um as Kemmet heaped praiseupon her recognizing the role
she played in making it happen. Expanding to include the sur-
rounding community businessesof Miami Township and SymmesTownship was one of firm goalsthe board had set. In her two-year tenure, and with the help ofAmy Thompson, Collins estab-lished solid relationships withthe Loveland area business com-munity. Those efforts laid a solidfoundation for the alignmentwith the Symmes and MiamiTownship business community.The comments of communityleaders revealed the success shehad gaining their support for the
change. Bringing into focus the vision
of working together to supportone another was the challengeCollins faced from the start. Shewent right at it approachingleaders from both townships.Miami Township businesses inthe Loveland 45140 ZIP code al-ready associated themselveswith Loveland even while beingserved by the Milford MiamiTownship Chamber of Com-merce and executive directorKaren Wikoff.
“I think it is beneficial that allchambers work together,” Wi-
koff said. “I think we’re all in thistogether. We work well with CeeCee, we hold joint events togeth-er. We’re excited for what the fu-ture brings for all of us.”
While serving the Lovelandbusinesses, Collins made fre-quent visits to Symmes Town-ship businesses. They recog-nized her as Loveland Chamber,not necessarily Symmes Town-ship. Symmes Township did nothave a chamber of commerce oftheir own.
“We quickly realized both

Bald eagles, tanagers,orioles, warblers and owlsare among the featheredwildlife that might be vis-ible during the second an-nual East Fork State ParkBirding Festival Satur-day, May 14, and Sunday,May 15.
The founder of theevent, Donald Morse Jr. ofMonroe Township in Cler-mont County, said he ex-pects this year’s event tobigger than last year. Thefirst event was put togeth-er in about two months.Much more time was in-vested in planning thisyear.
Event sponsors includeThe Cincinnati Bird Club,the local chapter of theAudubon Society and theCincinnati Museum Cen-ter. The idea behind birdfest is simply “to get peo-ple, especially young peo-ple, out and interested inoutdoor stuff,” Morsesaid.
Activities will takeplace from sun up to sundown, Morse said, andthey are all free. On Satur-day, the museum centerwill have a display of birdspecimens. Saturdaythere will be a night hiketo search for owls andwoodcocks. Last year, hik-
ers spotted four or fiveowl species, he said.
Sunday there will betwo opportunities to gobirding by kayak. No reg-istration is needed. Theevent is available on afirst-come, first-servedbasis. There will be eightkayaks for each of twotime slots, 8 a.m. to 11a.m.and 1p.m. to 4 p.m., Morsesaid. The sign-up sheetwill be available at theMatt Maupin Pavilion atthe south beach. Thisevent is courtesy of theOhio Department of Natu-ral Resources.
Bird hikes led by localbird enthusiasts will takeplace during both days ofthe festival, Morse said.Often hikers are sur-prised by what they find.
“We can show thembald eagle nests,” Morsesaid. The nesting site ismore than two miles fromthe south beach area overrugged terrain. Eaglesare often seen fishing onthe lake early in the morn-ing, and sometimes inbroad daylight, he said.
Throughout the daythere will be talks on birdidentification, photogra-
phy, conservation andmore. Activities for chil-dren are planned. Variousnonprofit groups are alsoexpected to participate.
All events will be cen-tered on East Fork Park’ssouth beach in Bantam.
For directions or infor-mation, visit the East ForkState Park Birding Festi-val page on Facebook, theEast Fork State Park web-site at parks.ohiodnr.gov/eastfork, or Morse’s blog atdonaldthebirder.blogspot.com

the necessary tools andcapabilities to performtheir jobs successfully. Ifirmly believe that leader-ship is defined not by em-powering one’s self but
more about empoweringothers around you.”
» Are you marriedand do you have kids?
“I am married and wehave three children (twoboys and one girl).”
» Are there anycauses you are commit-ted to or hobbies you en-joy?
“I am a strong advo-cate of children and I lovebeing involved in coach-ing youth sports/activ-ities. I love to cook as Ifind it’s a great form oftherapy and relaxation.”

were very excited aboutworking with us,” Collinssaid. “They were pleasedwith what the chamberhad done here.”
There was one catch.The name had to change.That’s how they got to Lit-tle Miami River ChamberAlliance. They took at leastsix months considering allfactors; if it was the righttime to move forward, ifthey should change thename, what it would meanto the chamber, the town-ships, and to the city ofLoveland. Nothing wastaken lightly.
Symmes TownshipTrustee Phil Beck recog-nized the value and citedCollins specifically for hersuccess “knocking outhome runs” serving theLoveland area businesses.He’s excited about the alli-ance and the future.
“I just want to say ev-erybody on our board andin our administration is in-sanely excited with this op-portunity,” Beck said. “Weare extremely supportiveof this effort. We try to do
as much as we can to bebusiness friendly. It’s an-other arrow in the quiver.We hope this will be some-thing everyone will wantto participate in.”
Cathy Rosenbaum, RxIntegrative Solutions,plans to join right away be-cause she wants to build upbusiness and her home andheart are here in this com-munity. The newest smallhouse community of Otter-bein is in Miami Township.Their marketing coordina-tor, Debby Farmer, helpscommunicate the messageof the lifestyle choice andcare they provide for theelderly. This is another av-enue to get the word out.
“I think this chamber isgoing to be able to bridgethose gaps,” Farmer said.“For me it’s going to be an-other extension of beingable to partner with othercommunities.”
The emphasis is clearlyon how the partnershipand expansion will benefitcommunity business andeconomic development. Atthe same time, the cham-ber must be sustainabletoo. Events are a key partof what they do, but it ismembership that will sus-tain them. The chamber is
already run on a “shoe-string budget” with a staffof two and no perks. Howwill this partnership bene-fit them?
“To be clear, it was tohelp us grow our member-ship. That’s what’s in it forus,” Collins said. “We hopethere’s more in it for thosetwo townships and theysaw the advantages tothat.”
The new model willhave Amy Thompsonmore focused on handlingthe signature events of thechamber. They’ll continueto look at events with acritical eye toward whatadvantages they bring tothe chamber, businessesand economic develop-ment for the community.The change is official onMay 1 and Collins will bemore focused on growingmembership. She will beplenty busy outside meet-ing with businesses, at-tending township meet-ings, and meeting withnew businesses that maycome into the area.
“We really feel this willmake us all stronger by allcoming together,” Collinssaid. “I’m so excited aboutit. I’m thrilled and so excit-ed to be a part of that.”

Ihow n spring more than any other season,there’s so much nature to explore, but so littletime!
This was the week for morels, or ratherlooking for them and finding none yet. Whatinspired me to hunt these gourmet wild mush-rooms that grow in early spring, was my bestfriend, Carol Vanover. Carol lives in Harrison,Indiana, and found a whole patch of morelsright by her lake near the back of her home.Well, that did it.
When my friends Char and Butch Castlecalled a day later and said they were going morelingand did I want to come along I was out the back doorlickety split, with my heirloom reed basket and asmall knife.
Up hill and down dale we went, and our foray intothe woods yielded lots of tender, tiny poke for Char tocook up but no morels. We saw an abundance of largeramps (wild leeks, another gourmet treat) and somany wild flowers. To glimpse what we saw and tolearn how to cook morels, ramps and more, check outmy website abouteating.com.
Then today I was at Natorp’s nursery out-let in Mason helping members of the HerbSociety choose herbs, flowers and veggies.
I had a nice chat with a young womannamed Elizabeth, who reads this column andwanted me to share a couple quick, tastyrecipes that can be made without a lot ofeffort. In fact, Elizabeth said she’d recipro-cate with some of her favorites, too. So, Eliza-beth, I’m waiting… Meanwhile, these recuoesare a good start,
Update on McAlister’s noodlesChar Castle makes rolled noodles, though she
doesn’t measure. She said next time she makes themshe’ll measure and let me know. Reader ChristineClarke is still looking for a rolled noodle similar tothis restaurant’s.

Roasted herbed pork tenderloin
Salt and pepper to taste1 teaspoon ea: garlic powder, ground coriander
seed, Italian blend seasoningOlive oilChicken broth or a little white wine (opt)
Preheat oven to 425. Trim and pierce tenderloinwith a fork all over. Rub with oil. Stir seasonings togeth-er and rub all over the meat. Film an oven safe pan withoil and get it hot. Brown pork all over. If you want, poura little broth or wine around pork (this gives a nice bitof juice to drizzle over). Roast about 15 minutes or so,turning over halfway through, until meat registers 145or so. Remove from oven, tent with foil for 10 minutesto distribute juices, and serve. If you use broth or winein the pan, stir it up with the brown bits in the pan, anddrizzle over sliced meat.
Tip from Rita’s kitchenPork tenderloin is high in protein and low in cho-
lesterol and fat.
Jo’s apricot lemon cake
Jo Dickman, a Loveland reader, is one of thosemulti-talented ladies. She sculpts, paints, sews, and ohyes, she’s a good cook, too. Jo shares this recipe whichshe’s been making for years. “I learned to make thisfrom my Mom,” she said. This is a moist, tender cake.

May 4 questionDid your high school sen-
ior class participate in a “sen-ior prank?” What was theprank and what were theconsequences?
“Of course our class dida senior class prank. Whowouldn’t? No live animalswere harmed and therewere no arrests made. Thelife-sized fiberglass hippo-potamus that had previous-ly graced the front yard of alocal real estate company(owned by the father of oneof my classmates) waswatching over the school’sfront lawn from atop themain building, in all of hissplendor. I do know how hegot up there, but neverheard how he got backdown. For some reasonthere was much less enthu-siasm for that activity oncethe prank was made pub-lic.”

April 27 questionWhat local bike and hike
trails do you use? How oftendo you use them?
“We hike on the trails invarious Hamilton Countyparks but our favorite trails
are those located in the Cin-cinnati Nature Center. Itcosts a bit more to join theCNC, but we have found itto be money well spent. Thetrails are well maintainedwith varied terrain andplenty of shade. There aremany activities plannedthroughout the year for thewhole family to enjoy in-cluding maple syrup har-vesting and processing andthe firefly nights whenthose little guys are at theirbrightly best. There areseveral areas specificallyplanned for young childrento learn about and com-mune with nature. What isnot to love about that?”

SCHOOLS NOTEBOOK
Extremely hot weather cancause serious health effects suchas heat exhaustion, heat strokeor even death. Infants and youngchildren are especially sensitiveto the effects of extreme heatand rely on others to keep themsafe.
Know the risks and conse-quences of leaving kids alone inhot cars. Even great parents canforget a child in the back seat,but caregivers who are unaccus-tomed to transporting childrenare especially prone to forget-ting.
Think about the last time yourroutine was interrupted. Maybeyou forgot something or wereafraid you might forget some-thing. Or maybe you decided toleave your child alone in the car,thinking “I’ll just run into thestore for a minute.” In eithercase, it’s important to know therisks and consequences associat-ed with leaving kids in cars –especially hot cars. In just 10minutes, a car can heat up 20degrees Fahrenheit and crackinga window does little to keep thecar cool.
With temperatures in the 60s,your car can heat up to wellabout 110 degrees. A child’s bodytemperature can rise up to fivetimes faster than an adult’s and
heatstroke canhappen whenthe temper-ature is as lowas 57 degreesoutside. Achild dieswhen his orher body tem-peraturereaches 107degrees.
The conse-quences of leaving a child in aparked car are heat-related in-jury or death of a child, misde-meanor with fines as high as$500 and imprisonment, or afelony offense if bodily harmresults from leaving kids alonein a hot car. Currently, Ohio doesnot have a law regarding leavingchildren alone in a car.
If you see a young childlocked in a parked car for morethan five minutes there are cer-tain steps as a bystander youshould follow. First make surethe child is OK and responsive, ifnot, call 911 immediately. If thechild appears OK, you shouldattempt to locate the parents orhave the facility’s security ormanagement page the car ownerover the PA system.
If there is someone with you,one person should actively
search for the parent while theother waits at the car. If the childis not responsive and appears ingreat distress, attempt to get intothe car to assist the child, even ifthat means breaking a window. Ifthe child is in distress due toheat, get the child out of the caras quickly as possible. Cool thechild rapidly (not in an ice bath)by spraying the child with coolwater.
Five tips to protect infantsand children from heat-relatedillness:
1. Never leave infants or chil-dren in a parked car. Never.
2. Dress infants and childrenin loose, lightweight, light-col-ored clothing.
3. Make sure your child isdrinking more water than usualand don’t wait until they arethirsty to give them more.
4. Regularly apply sunscreenon your child as indicated on thepackage.
5. Seek medical care immedi-ately if your child has symptomsof a heat-related illness

Each year Junior Members ofthe American Legion Auxiliaryoffer poppies for donation.
Victor Stier American LegionAuxiliary and Junior Unit mem-bers will offer poppies May 20and May 21. Everyone is wel-come to take a flower to showsupport for those who haveserved our country. If you areable to make a donation it is ap-preciated.
All of the funds raised onPoppy Weekend go to supportour veterans. In the past yearfunds raised by them havebought clothing for donation tohomeless veteran shelters, spon-sored monthly doughnut andcoffee events at the CincinnatiVA Medical Center and otherevening entertainment and gamenights there as well. The peoplewe meet there appreciate every-thing we offer them and everyminute we spend there. Theseveterans are struggling, whetherit be physically or mentally andwe hope you will support uswhile we support them.
If you wish tomake a donation,forward a checkpayable to VictorStier Unit 450mailed in care ofCarmella Fugate,550 Clark St.,Milford, Ohio45150. Our unitspends about $30a month for cof-fee and donutsand about $500
each time we sponsor an eveningevent.
The poppies are also used tomake wreaths to be placed onevery grave belonging to a Veter-an. Auxiliary Unit 450 Junior andSenior members make more than800 wreaths each year. Legionand Auxiliary members placethese wreaths on the graves inMilford and Miamiville prior toMemorial Day.
For years and years Milfordhas celebrated Memorial Daywith a parade. While we appreci-ate the turnout of the public each
Memorial Day to support theparade, it has become more andmore difficult to gather enoughmembers who are able to do theparade justice. We believe themore important tradition is theservices themselves and not theparade. Therefore, in lieu of aparade this year Victor StierAmerican Legion Post 450 ofMilford will hold memorials atall of the places services wereheld and thanks were given inthe past. Memorial Park willhave services at 9:45 a.m.,Greenlawn will hold services at10 a.m. and St. Andrew at about10:15 a.m. We hope everyone willjoin us at one or all of theseplaces to honor those who sacri-ficed and served.
Carmella Fugate is presidentof the Fourth District AmericanLegion Auxiliary, which coversall of the American Legion Auxil-iary Units in Hamilton, Cler-mont, Warren and Butler coun-ties, and is a member of Unit 450in Milford.

How many of us have hadthe experience of being outsomewhere and the car won’tstart; the battery is dead? Theget-up-and-go in the batteryhas got-up-and-went.
Now, leaving aside the moreserious reasons as to why bat-teries run down, the short-termsolution is usually for anothercar to come alongside and hookup jumper cables; the powercoming from the strong bat-tery to the weak one. By draw-ing from the alongside powersource your car is able to startup again and function normal-ly. That act of drawing along-side or lending energy to getanother going is the basic ideabehind a key word in the NewTestament…the word is “en-
courage.”There is agreat exampleof a man in theNew Testa-ment who hada particularreputation forencourage-ment. Hisparents namedhim Joseph,but the leaders
of the early church called himBarnabas, which literallymeant “son of encourage-ment.” Barnabas was a personwho you felt good beingaround. Maybe you knowsomeone like that. He was aman who believed in the poten-tial of people; particularly
those whom others were cau-tious or suspicious of, likePaul.
Barnabas was willing togive those who failed a secondchance, and because of hispredisposition towards encour-aging people, the leaders of theearly church gave him thenickname of “son of encour-agement.” People like to bewith people who encouragethem. To be a Barnabas to-wards others is to exercise apowerful influence on people.The root meaning of the wordencourage simply means “toput courage in.” It means theinfusion of power, advice, orinspiration that makes anotherperson perform better, or feelbetter about themselves. There
are times for each of us whenour battery runs down. Encour-agement means the comingalongside and the infusion ofcourage or inspiration thatenables us to get up and getgoing again.
There are many things inlife that cause us to experiencediscouragement…that drainour courage. Sometimes it’s acrisis, sometimes it’s simplyfatigue or sickness, the loss ofa loved one, or sometimes it’sthe cutting words or actions ofanother person. To encourageis to do the direct opposite.Where courage has dissipated,encouragement is the replac-ing or replenishment of cour-age. It represents the puttingback what has been taken
away, or leaked out of us.Romans 12:6-8 reveals that
some people have a special giftor Holy Spirit-given ability toencourage. The act of encour-aging is a responsibility we allhave as followers of Jesus. Weare all supposed to be likeBarnabas and to a greater orlesser degree we are called tocome alongside for the pur-pose of putting courage intothose who are discouraged.People have done it for us inthe past and we need to do itfor others. Won’t you be a Bar-nabas…an encourager? Wealready have enough skepticsand pessimists.

GOSHEN TWP. -Goshen baseballsnapped a longdrought, clinching itsfirst league champi-onship in 35 years aseason ago.
This season, theWarriors returned 11seniors. Naturally,the expectationswere high, includingproducing anotherSouthern BuckeyeAthletic and Academ-ic Conference divi-sion title.
“We fell short ofthat goal by a game,”coach Mark Reedsaid. “Batavia won itthis year. Now, we arefocusing on makingthat transition intopostseason mode.”
The coach saidmuch of that transi-tion will be about get-ting the bats rollingon a more consistentbasis.
The Warriors havehad a couple gameswhere they’ve scored10 or more runs, butusually they’re push-ing three to five run-ners across the plate.
Part of the reasoncould be the quality ofGoshen’s pitching.Last year, it was JessePeters and Isaac Hartat the top of the rota-tion. Now, it’s Hartand Keegan Tinkel.
It’s possible thepitching has becomeso consistent that hit-
ters can become com-placent, knowingthey don’t have toscore a lot of runs towin a game.
“For the last fewyears, we’ve reliedheavily on our pitch-ing,” Reed said. “I’vefelt that we’ve hadsome of the bestpitchers in the leagueand the city. But,pitching can only getus so far. We need toget our bats rolling.”
Players like DevonConover and NoahBillingsley don’t needto get it going this sea-son. For them, theyneed to keep it going.
Conover, who wasused sparingly a yearago, is making themost of his final sea-son at Goshen. Heproduced the game-winning hit in a re-cent game againstWestern Brown andhas his average up to.340.
Reed said Billing-sley, a first-team all-SBAAC performerfrom a season ago,put in a ton of work inthe offseason.
“They’ve put theteam on their backs alittle bit,” he said. “Ithink they are reallylooking to end theirGoshen careers on apositive note.”
Of course, successin the postseasonwould go a long wayto achieving that goal.

Reed doesn’t have muchtrepidation as to who willbe getting the ball on themound in these pressuresituations.
Hart has been atopthe rotation for the lastcouple years, but Tinkelhas become just as indis-pensable to the Warriors.According to Reed, he’s4-0 and hadn’t surren-dered an earned run as ofMay 5.
“I’m confident givingthe ball to either of thoseguys against WyomingMay 10,” the skippersaid. “Again, it goes backto our hitting where we’llsink or swim.”

Goshen catcher Noah Billingsley squeezes a called strike three in the top of the first againstBlanchester April 5.
NEWTOWN - On April21, Chicago pitcher JakeArrieta threw his secondmajor league no-hitter asthe Cubs put a soundwhipping on the Reds,16-0.
Two days later, he pro-vided inspiration for an-other Jake who jokinglytold his Miami ValleyChristian Academy team-mates he was going to du-plicate Arrieta’s efforts.Seven innings later,MVCA senior Jake Kaiserwalked off the mound inKentucky having defeat-ed Seven Hills 8-1 with ano-hitter.
Seeing as coaches hadkept tight-lipped aboutthe effort, only a handfulof Lions knew Kaiser hadkept the Stingers hitless.There was no “dogpile”celebration or Gatoradeshower.
“A lot of the kids didn’teven know it happened,”Kaiser said. “There wasnothing until the coachbrought us together andtold everyone.”
Kaiser himself knewand felt his prophecycould come to fruitionwhen it got to be the fifthinning. That’s when it firstsank in that Seven Hillswas posting a zero underthe letter “H” on thescoreboard.
Listed on the MVCAroster as a left fielder andcatcher, Kaiser hasproved to be more thantolerable from the bumpthat sits 60 feet 6 inchesfrom home plate.
“They didn’t need meat catcher as much, sothey started working withme as a pitcher,” Kaisersaid. “I picked up on itpretty quickly.”
Kaiser had pitchedbriefly in relief, but hadnever thrown multiple in-nings as a starter. Now,he’s in the MVCA record
books with the school’sfirst baseball no-hitter.
In the game with SevenHills, Kaiser started withjust routine fastballs, try-ing to get loose. By thefifth inning, with gooseeggs on the scoreboardand brimming with confi-dence, he found a curve-ball.
Though he had hisshare of strikeouts, Kai-ser credits his infieldersfor their leather workwhich took the sting out ofthe Stingrays. In additionto it being his first no-hit-ter, it was also Kaiser’sfirst complete game.
“I probably threw 80 or90 pitches,” he said. “I gota lot of ground balls and acouple of double plays.”
The senior had a roughsecond inning when aspell of wildness enabledSeven Hills to score byway of errors and hit bats-men. Once beyond thebrief stumble, Kaiser be-
gan to deal.“I felt really tight, but
they only got one run, so Ifigured I was good,” hesaid.
When not pitching,Kaiser is in left field chas-ing down fly balls. He’salso swung the bat reallywell and has strung to-gether a few multiple-hitgames. He had a coupleknocks in his no-hitter.
With the Lions he hasalso played basketball andran cross country to get inshape for the winter hoopseason. On the mound, henow has a story for theages.
He will now switchfrom purple with the Li-ons to Xavier Musketeerblue. He plans on major-ing in business marketingoff Victory Parkway.
Up ahead for the Lionsare games against River-view East at home andMiddletown Madison onthe road May 5-6.

While I was at thecraft show I was talkingto a lady and her daugh-ter. They have a big dogthat is white - a Parisianand a beagle. The beaglekeeps picking on the bigdog. The big dog couldhurt the beagle, but ittolerates the beagle. Oneday the beagle went intothe doghouse. The bigdog laid across the open-ing so the beagle couldnot get out. The beaglestarted barking. Thatdidn’t seem to get the bigdog to get up so the bea-gle could get out of thedoghouse. The folks toldme they thought whenthe big dog finally hadenough of the barking itjust got up and walkedaway. Now you may thinkthis just happened butthe animals have a wayof getting even. Now Idon’t know if that gave amessage to the beagle ornot but I imagine the bigdog didn’t care.

The Rotary Club ofBatavia inducted CliffBailey as its newestmember March 1.
Bailey was sponsoredby Jennifer Fischer, pastpresident of Batavia Ro-tary.
Bailey is a DistrictExecutive with the BoyScouts of America. Herecently moved to Cin-cinnati to work for theDan Beard Council. Noteveryone has a back-ground in scouting, al-though Bailey does.
“In many ways,scouting saved my life,”Bailey said.
Both of his parentsworked when he was achild, and he sometimesmissed the structure ofhaving an active parentat home. When a friendin sixth grade invitedhim to a Boy Scout meet-ing, he eagerly attendedand joined the club. Thefriend quit a year later,but Bailey continuedand enjoyed all of the re-
wards Boy Scouts had tooffer.
“To this day, I set mylife by the Boy ScoutLaw and Oath,” said Bai-ley. These 12 items aresimilar to the RotaryFour-Way Test, which isthe basis that every Ro-tary group uses as itsguiding principles.
Although Bailey’s ca-reer path has led himfrom being active intheater, teaching, con-struction, and now to theDan Beard Council, hecounts his blessings. Be-cause of these twists andturns, he has been giventhe opportunity to traveland enjoy these differ-ent paths while raising afamily.
“I now look forwardto my path in Rotary,”Bailey said.

I don’t know about you,but I rarely answer mylandline phone any more.
Instead, I prefer to letmy answering machinetell the caller to leave amessage. I found all toooften the only peoplecalling me on that phoneare scammers.
Occasionally, a call willcome from someone Iknow or need to call back– but that’s very rare.Most people I want to talkwith will reach me on mycell phone.
Most people are notlike me and the scam-mers are continuing theircalls at a record pace.They are trying to scareconsumers into payingthem money. In manycases they are claiming tobe from the IRS and say-ing you owe money –yespeople are still gettingsuch calls even thoughtax day has passed.
Another of these scamis from people claimingto be with the police orsheriff. Amy, originallyfrom Grant County, Ken-tucky, says her fathercalled her to say a BooneCounty Deputy Sheriffcalled to stay “he possiblyhad an arrest warrant forme, and that I needed tocontact him as soon aspossible.”
Amywrote me,“I waitedfor myhusband toget homeas we havefour chil-dren, allunder age14, so I wasreally wor-
ried and wondering whatI could have done inBoone County that couldhave brought this on. Icalled the number mydad gave me and as soonas the gentleman an-swered, ‘Good afternoon,Boone County Sheriff’sDepartment,’ I asked forDeputy Mike Johnsononly to be answered bythe ‘sheriff’ himself tell-ing me I had missed juryduty on April 5, or some-time around then, andwas now being chargedwith failure to appear, aswell as contempt ofcourt.”
Amy says she was toldthe call was being mon-itored for each of theirprotection. He then gaveher the case number foreach charge and said bothcarried a $500 fine and upto six months in jail.
Amy says the “sheriff’told her she would haveto pay for vouchers be-
fore her court date, butsays she wasn’t veryclear about that. She says,“I was told that I wouldhave to hang up the phoneand wait for his call back,beginning what he calledthe ‘open line of commu-nication’ I was gong tohave to stay on the linewhile I drove to the bankand withdrew the mon-ey.”
“I had to let him knowmy every move includingmake, model, licenseplate number and color ofthe vehicle I would bedriving. I tearfullywalked in my house toask a friend of mine if shecould keep watch overmy kids while I was gone.I said my husband and Ineeded to run to a familymember or friends’ bankto borrow the $2,000, aswe did not have that sortof money.”
Amy says the ‘sheriff”told her, “You must leaveright now to obtain thesefunds and then meet meand my deputy, MikeJohnson, at a supermar-ket for the vouchers.” Shesays, “He explained to meone voucher was neededfor the first charge offailure to appear andcontempt of court forBoone County jury duty.”
Amy says the first
charge had a $1,003 fineand was not refundable.She writes, “The secondvoucher was to be in theamount of $1,000, whichwould be refundablewhen I would be in frontof Judge Linda Moore atthe courthouse at 9 a.m. Iwas frantically freakingout for the duration ofthis conversation onlygetting parts and piecesof what was going on.”
Meanwhile, Amy’shusband came home andimmediately called theKentucky State Police.He told them what wasgoing on with those phonecalls and the officerchecked their databasebut found nothing. Amysays, “So, they patchedhim through to the BooneCounty Sheriff’s Depart-ment and he told them,‘Deputy Mike Johnsonsays my wife has to pay$2,000, for these boguscharges.’ The person onthe other end of the linesays, ‘We have no DeputyMike Johnson on staff.Hang up, it’s a scam!’”
Amy says she hung upthe phone, but the scam-mer called back immedi-ately and her husbandanswered this time. Amysays, “I cannot believehow gullible I was, look-ing back at the situation,
but I am a mother of fourchildren and am strivingto raise them properly inGod’s eyes. I preparedthem for my going to jailif I couldn’t come up withthe money.”
“I cringe at thethought of how manypeople have fallen for thisline of fraud and hopeand pray that everyone,especially the elderly, ismade aware of this scamand that people realizethat no police officerwould handle an issue inthis matter,” Amy wrote.
Bottom line, thesescammers are constantlycalling people seeking totrick them into givingthem money. Often these
people are calling fromoutside the U.S. and havean accent. They neverwould have met her at thesupermarket, insteadwould have told her tobuy a prepaid debit cardwith the money. Then,they would have her readthem the numbers on theback of the debit card andthey could get her moneythat way. In fact, usingprepaid debit cards is theway most scammers areworking these days – sobeware.
