Pierce Township residentswill learn in July the resultsof a
recent community sur-vey.
About 10 percent of town-ship residents and
businessesparticipated in the survey,which is considered a
goodparticipation rate, Adminis-trator Tim Hershner said.The
surveys primary focus
was on greenspace andparks, town-ship Communi-cations
Coordi-nator JennyNewcomb said.
The trusteeswant to create apark and greenspace master
plan and most of the surveyquestions pertained to that,she
said.
In the future we'd like todo an annual email survey toget
resident opinions on ser-vices, like police and fire,etc., so we
can make improve-ments there, Newcomb said.To achieve this, another
com-ponent of the survey was toobtain email addresses whichwill
allow the township tocommunicate via email withbusinesses and
residents in acost effective way.
Creation of the survey it-self was free. The trustees,Hershner,
department headsand community leadersworked with resident and
re-tired Procter & Gamble em-ployee George Carpenter,
avolunteer planning consult-ant, in preparing the survey,Hershner
said. The only asso-ciated costs were from print-ing and mailing
which totaled$2,200.
The survey closed May 31,and included 16 questionsthat were
primarily designedfor getting a baseline on whatresidents like
about the offer-ings in the township and whatthey'd like to see
improved,Newcomb said.
The results will help thetrustees make decisionsbased on what's
important toresidents, she said.

A new beach house that wasinstrumental in bringing the2015
USRowing Club NationalChampionships to ClermontCounty is now open
at East ForkState Parks Harsha Lake.
The July 15-19 event 25 mileseast of Cincinnati, is one of
thelargest summer regattas in theU.S., and its expected to
drawthousands of athletes and spec-tators.
The beach house at HarshaLake, costing just under $1 mil-lion,
was among $88.5 million inlast years capital budget to mod-ernize
trails, campgrounds andrecreational facilities in Ohioparks, said
James Zehringer, cqdirector of the Ohio Departmentof Natural
Resources. He joineddozens of other state and localofficials at a
June 6 ribbon cut-ting to celebrate the grand open-ing of the new
facility.
As a backdrop to the event,dozens of would-be rowers triedout
their skills on Lake Harshaas part of National Learn to RowDay.
The beach house, which hasshowers, restrooms and a con-
cession area, replaces an outdat-ed facility built in 1978.
EastFork State Park also has newdocks built specifically for
row-ers, thanks to state watercraftfunds, and plans call for
more
state-funded improvements bynext year.
Im out here every weekendall summer long, Ohio StateRep. John
Becker said at theopening of the beach house. For
those of you who rememberwhat used to be here and whatwe have
now, its a huge im-provement.

GOSHEN TOWNSHIP Improvements have beenmade to a hazardous
inter-section on a detour forstate Route 28 here andmore signs have
been putup to improve safety.
At the June 9 meetingof Goshen TownshipTrustees,
Administrator
Lou Ethridge reportedthat subcontractors forthe Ohio Department
ofTransportation have wid-ened the intersection ofshort state Route
48 andstate Route 132 on the de-tour route so that largetrucks can
make what waspreviously a sharp turn.
More signs also havebeen installed near thatthree-way
intersectionwarning drivers to stop,and a sign on eastboundstate
Route 28 and short 48informs motorists that theRoad (is) open to
BeckHardware. The family-owned business is at 1798state Route 28,
just be-yond the eastbound de-tour.
More updates on traf-
fic control measures andthe states progress on abridge
replacement thatsprompted the closure ofpart of state Route 28
inGoshen Township wereexpected at a June 16meeting. That meetingwas
set for 10 a.m. at Go-shen Township Hall.
Trustees agreed onJune 9 to look into leasinga second building
for afirehouse west of thebridge closure during theState Route 28
project.The townships firehouseis east of the closure, andat a June
2 meeting withODOT, Steve Pegram,chief of Goshen Fire &EMS,
said 75 percent ofthe departments runs arewest of the bridge
closure.
The bridge replace-ment that began June 1 isexpected to take 75
days,but at the request of town-ship officials and localbusiness
owners, ODOTstaff agreed to investigate
whether there was anyway to shorten the pro-ject.
At the townships June2 meeting with ODOTstaff, Andy Evans,
presi-dent of the Goshen Cham-ber of Commerce, ex-pressed concern
about theprojects potential nega-tive economic impact onlocal
businesses.
Speaking for his ownbusiness, Evans FuneralHome just east of
thebridge in Goshen Town-ship, Evans said that hewas looking at a
possibleloss of tens of thousandsof dollars because manyof the
cemeteries that thefuneral home goes to arewest of the bridge. He
saidif traffic is significant atrush hour when many visi-tations
begin, potential cli-ents may choose anotherfuneral home.
Lets not even discussEvans Funeral Home, itsowner said. People
mightchoose to go to Frischs (onstate Route 28) ratherthan
McDonalds for (asandwich).
Evans said he hopedthe June 2 meeting withODOT helped put a
faceto business owners and
others affected by thetemporary state Route 28closure.
The Facebook page forBeck Paint & HardwaresGoshen Township
storereminds customers thatit takes more than abridge closing to
getBecks to close its doors.
Although owner StanBeck had said business onthe first couple
says of theclosure was half of what itnormally was, customershave
since figured outnew ways to get to BeckPaint & Hardware,
saidStans son, Matt, who man-ages the Goshen store. Hesaid the sign
at the east-bound detour stating thatBecks is open has helped
slightly. Most of our customers
are local, so they knowhow to get around the de-tours, Matt Beck
said.They know the backroads.
A Goshen Townshipsafety fair has beenscheduled for June 30
atBeck Paint & Hardware.Organizers say that loca-tion was
chosen partly tohelp customers realizethat the business is
stillopen during the stateRoute 28 closure.

The New RichmondExempted Village SchoolDistrict is expecting
bigsavings in its health anddental insurance costs af-ter pulling
out of the Cler-mont County InsuranceConsortium and joiningthe
larger SouthwesternOhio Educational Pur-chasing Council.
New Richmond spendsapproximately $3 milliona year for
employeehealth and dental insur-ance and was facing an in-crease of
8 percent effec-tive July 1had it remained
in the Cler-montCounty In-suranceConsor-tiumwhich nowincludesall
Cler-mont
County school districtswith the exception ofWest Clermont,
Milfordand now New Richmond.
Health and dental in-surances represent thesecond largest
expendi-ture for the district, in-
terim New Richmondtreasurer Mike Mowerysaid. Our Board of
Edu-cation and administrationdecided to have an inde-pendent
insurance agentassess our situation.
Mowery and Superin-tendent Adam Bird select-ed Horan Associates
tofirst review New Rich-monds data and subse-
quently to seek bids fromadditional carriers andconsortiums for
NewRichmonds business.
We had one bid comein from another insuranceconsortium, the
South-western Ohio EducationalPurchasing Council, thatprovided for
a 7 percentdecrease in premiums,Mowery said.
So instead of an in-crease of $240,000 in in-surance costs the
districtwill realize a savings ofaround $200,000 in thecoming year.
New Rich-mond had been part of theClermont County consor-tium for
more than 25years.
Within the next sever-al years we expect the
savings from this changeto amount to over $1 mil-lion from lower
premiumprices, Mowery said.
The decision to moveforward was made at aspecial school
boardmeeting April 13 with thechange in coordinationwith certified
and classi-fied employee bargainingunits.

Judge James ShriversFamily Treatment Depen-dency Court was
awardeda grant of $86,680 that willallow it to offer
medica-tion-assisted treatmentfor participants in thecourt who do
not havehealth insurance.
The federal grant, ad-ministered through theOhio Office of
CriminalJustice Services, will sup-ply about 18 participantswith
medical treatmentdesigned to ease theirwithdrawal symptoms,
in-cluding Suboxone and Vi-vitrol.
Suboxone helps to re-duce withdrawal symp-toms and cravings;
Vivi-trol blocks the actions ofopioids. Medication-as-sisted
treatment is the useof medications, in combi-nation with
counselingand behavioral therapies,to provide a
whole-patientapproach to the treatmentof substance use, accord-ing
to the SubstanceAbuse and Mental HealthServices Administration.
Research has shownthat people have a muchbetter shot at
finishingtreatment if they are canuse these medications tohelp
them, Shriver said.This grant will enable usto offer that help to
those
of our participants who donot have insurance, orwho are priced
out of thetreatment even with in-surance.
The Clermont CountyFamily Treatment Depen-dency Court, one of 15
spe-cially certified treatmentcourts in Ohio, began lastfall in
response to thegrowing number of chil-dren in the county whowere
being placed intofoster care because theirparent or parents
wereaddicts.
Those selected for theprogram are required togo through
treatment, un-dergo frequent drugscreens, and appear incourt on a
regular basis.
Those successfullycompleting the programwill be reunited with
theirchildren, Shriver said.
The court has enrolledfive participants since itslaunch in
November. Allhave received substanceabuse treatment. Twohave been
reunified withtheir children; two havefound stable housing
afterbeing homeless; one hasbeen employed for morethan 90 days and
anotherrecently found a job, ac-cording to Angela Live-say, who
administers theprogram.

JUNE 17, 2015 COMMUNITY JOURNAL 7ANEWS
Today really was a simple countrypleasures kind of day.
Son Shane brought his three girlsover and I took the two oldest
ones,Eva, 7 and Emerson, almost 3, for awalk down to the East Fork
river. Thegirls caught crawdads, tiny fish andscooped up lots of
shells and othertreasures from the shallow water.
I didnt realize so much time hadpassed by until Shane came
walkingdown with baby Ellery in his arms.Time for Emersons nap, he
said.
So we went back to the house and eventhough Shane didnt stay for
lunch I did have
all the makings ready for this simplepizza.
I was also going to photograph thegirls making the pizza for
this column.But since that didnt happen, Ill share aphoto of the
reason why: two little girlsenjoying, as I said, simple country
plea-sures.

Mediterranean chicken with orange marmaladesauce
Lately Ive been using thighs for this recipe. I promised this
recipe to ayoung man whose name I dont remember. He stopped to chat
with me atthe store. Funny that I cant remember his name but do
remember veryclearly what he wanted, so here it is: a really good
tasting, fairly easy, maindish for chicken.
4-6 boneless skinless breast halves or thighsSalt, pepper,
flourOlive oil3/4 to 1 cup white wine3 tablespoons lemon juice1
heaping teaspoon minced garlic or more1/8 teaspoon red pepper
flakes or more1/4 cup thawed undiluted orange juiceUp to 1-1/2 cups
orange marmalade
Salt and pepper chicken, Dredge in flour. Saute in oil, browning
wellon both sides. Keep warm. Pour wine in pan and cook, stirring
to bringbrown bits up. Add lemon juice, garlic, red pepper, and
half of the orangejuice. Bring to boil and cook about 3 minutes.
Stir in 1 cup marmalade andrest of orange juice.
Taste and add more marmalade if desired. Serve on bed of rice
orcouscous with sauce poured over chicken.
Five minute no-cook pizza sauceGo to taste on the flavorings.
Use a food processor or whisk by hand.
Thanks to the reader, who shared this recipe. I like it because
theres nocooking involved, she said. Freezes well.
Blend together:
15 oz. can tomato sauce6 oz. can tomato paste1-2 teaspoons
minced garlic2-3 teaspoons dried oregano - start with 21-1/2 to 2
teaspoons dried basilOnion powder to taste - start with 3/4
teaspoon3/4 teaspoon sugar - this helps tone down some of the acid
of the
tomatoes

A publication of
June 10 questionWhat should Cincinnati city
leaders and residents do to cur-tail the recent trends of
gun-related crimes in the city?
Well its like the NRA al-ways says, An armed societyis a polite
society, and rightnow I think that philosophyneeds to be put in
place.
Instead of doing the typicalmiddle of the road, liberal,gun by
back programs, I thinkcouncil needs to look to do agun distribution
program to allthe citizens of Cincinnati. Iknow background checks
areanathema to the NRA and GOP,so Id say push those aside andfigure
a small segment of the
population may get guns thatshouldnt have them.
However if we can arm therest of the citizens, they canthen be
there to help curtailand eliminate these gun-relat-ed crimes and
criminal ele-
ments that are on the loose. Also with the All Star
Game coming up, this strategywill make out of town folksfeel
safer, knowing that a largesegment of the population iscarrying and
ready to defendnot only their own God givenrights but also those of
our outof town guests.
C.S.
Though stop and frisk got abad name in New York, it cer-tainly
found a lot of non-lawabiding citizens with guns. Toemphasize our
intent to en-force the existing laws, theremust be clearly
understoodconsequences for anyone usinga gun in the commission of
a
crime. I believe it would bemore correct to refer to
recenttrends of people-relatedcrimes. Perhaps, there shouldbe more
activity on the part ofcommunity members to con-trol those
people.
D.B.
It is time for the Cincinnatileaders to talk with past lead-ers
with proven records ofreducing murder rates, likeperhaps the guys
in NYC thatmade such drastic changes inthat murder capital back in
the90s. Probably best if theyavoid chats with the folks inFerguson
or Baltimore though.That was most definitely notthe way to go. We
can do bet-
ter, but we sure as heck betterhurry up because the summeris
just going to get hotter.
M.J.F.
Cincinnati has now hiredtwo police chiefs from outsidethe city.
The sad part is Cincin-nati had a qualified in-housecandidate
better suited to thetask (assistant chief Paul Hum-phries). The
first chief theyhired (Craig) could not passthe Ohio State police
exam andthe second one has failed topass muster (Blackwell). May-be
it is time to hire someonewho knows the city. That wouldbe my
90-day plan. Go figure!

THIS WEEKSQUESTIONWhat is your favorite summervacation story
(something thatyou personally experienced)?
Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email.
Send youranswers [email protected] withCh@troom in the
subject line.
On Monday, I was able toprovide a moment of joy andreassurance
to a family whosestrength and dedication havebeen continually
tested overthe last year.
A year ago, I received aphone call from Sean Hogan,
a constituentI have thepleasure ofrepresentingin the OhioSenate.
Seansdaughter,Kayleigh, isone of thebravest,
mostinspiring9-year-olds Ihave everencountered.
Kayleigh was diagnosed witha pediatric brain tumor lastyear
which has led to herfamilys constant battle forher health and
happiness.
Sean called my office forassistance after he was un-able to
purchase a pediatricbrain tumor awareness li-cense plate. The
sponsor or-ganization was unable to sellthe minimum number of
500plates required under statelaw and the plate was discon-tinued
in January of 2014.
My office discovered thatOhios requirements for deter-mining the
minimum numberof plates that must be soldwas not changed after
theadoption of new license plateprinting technology. New
license plate printers allowunique license plates to beprinted
without disrupting theproduction process, even forsmaller
specialized orders.
We drafted legislation andstarted the journey throughthe
legislative process. Final-ly, after months of testimony,research,
phone calls andmeetings, our bill to reinstatethe pediatric brain
tumorlicense plates was signed intolaw. For every plate sold,
$35goes to the Childrens GliomaCancer Foundation to provideresearch
funding and supportfor kids and families duringtreatment.
It was my honor to presentthe Hogans with their veryown
pediatric brain tumorawareness license plate thispast week and to
recognizetheir dedication to endingpediatric cancer.
The story of the Hoganfamilys strength and deter-mination is a
testament tohow we can make our state abetter place by engaging
inthe political process. Whilewe have reason to celebratethis
milestone, let us also keepthe Hogans and all familiesbattling
cancer in ourthoughts and prayers.
If you would like for me ormy staff to look into an
issueimportant to you or your fam-ily, please contact my officeby
phone at (614) 466-8082 orby email at [email protected].

State Sen. JoeUeckerCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST
A swimmer with shoulderpain is a common sight in thesport. With
few exceptions,shoulder pain in a swimmerwill be an overuse
injury,meaning it builds over timewith continuous irritationfrom
the same repeated mo-tions.
This happens for a fewreasons:
The shoulder is the mostmobile joint in the body.
The mechanics of swim-ming require lots of motion atthe shoulder
joint.
With increased motion inthe joint comes less stability ofthat
joint.
A swimmer can exceed2,000 strokes for one shoulderin a single
workout.
A few simple tricks can go along way to keeping shoulderpain
from getting to be aninjury that keeps the swimmerfrom the
pool.
The first thing to checkwhen your swimmer comes toyou with
shoulder pain is theirposture. The nature of swim-ming workouts
gives a swim-mer very developed pectoralmuscles, which they need
forstroke efficiency and speed.This can cause those musclesto pull
where they attach onthe arm and can give a swim-mer a rounded
shoulder ap-pearance, meaning that theshoulders are coming
forwardwhen at rest. Posture like thiscan pinch important
struc-tures in the shoulder, partic-ularly in the anterior
portion,which are already more vul-nerable. It will also
affectstructures in the back, whichare being stretched and
weak-ened by this posture.
To fix this, have them focuson straightening up as if astring
were being pulled fromthe torso through the top of thehead. Roll
your shoulders backto an even position on eitherside of your body.
No need tothrow them back overly far or
puff your chest out, just keepthem back in line with the restof
your body.
In conjunction with thechance in posture, you need tofocus on
the scapular stabiliz-ers, the muscles that work inbetween and
around the shoul-der blades. These muscles areoften weak and cannot
func-tion properly without someattention.
When practicing good pos-ture, you can feel those mus-cles fire
up. An exercise calledscap squeezes can work themeven more. While
in your goodposture position, pretend youare trying to squeeze a
pennybetween your shoulder bladesby squeezing those muscles,leaving
your arms by yourside. Hold the squeeze for fiveseconds, then
release.
Both of these techniquescan be used throughout theday while your
swimmer is atschool. Practicing good pos-ture and scap squeezes
canreduce a number of shoulderproblems by introducing prop-er
position and body mechan-ics. Pain in the shoulder maybe common in
swimming, butthat does not mean they haveto push through it . There
aremodifications and optionsavailable to keep them fromdoing making
things worse.
At Cincinnati Children'sSports Medicine department,we want to do
everything wecan to keep your child in thewater as much as
possible.There are resources availablefor you and your swimmer,and
we invite you to contact uswith any questions or concernsat
513-803-4878.

KeShawn Foley hadone reception in his four-year football career
atBatavia High School.Just one, back freshmanyear.
Well, make that ca-reer total eight afterJune 11 unofficially
atleast.
The former Bataviastar caught seven passesfor 149 yards and
threetouchdowns to help leadthe East All-Stars to a 40-20 win
against the Westin the 40th annual South-western Ohio
FootballCoaches Association RonWoyan East-West All-Star football
game,Thursday, at Kings HighSchool.
Im just having fun,Foley said. Its an all-star game.
Foley racked up morethan 100 touchdownspassing and rushing in
astellar, three-time all-conference career at Ba-tavia as a
quarterback.No receiving touch-downs. Thursday night,though, he
lined up wideas a receiver more oftenthan not and looked like
aseasoned vet.
It was pretty easy,said the 6-foot-3, 225-pound Foley, who
addedthat he plans to playquarterback this fall atHocking College.
I loveplaying wide receiver.Its like backyard foot-ball.
Milford quarterbackDrew Ashcraft helpedmake it easy. Foley wason
the receiving end of a36-yard pass from Ash-craft on the Easts
firstpossession, setting up aRyan Wahler (Sycamore)touchdown
reception.
Ashcraft found Foleyagain on the next posses-sion deep down the
leftside for a 27-yard touch-down pass.
Withrow QB TraVonBarnes threw a 35-yard
TD strike to Foley in thesecond quarter to put theEast up
19-6.
The East passing at-tack was on target allnight with receivers
Fo-ley, Wahler, DoryanBeach (Withrow) andReid Finley (WalnutHills)
consistently mak-ing great adjustmentswhile the ball was in theair.
Wahler totaled 102yards on four catches.
Ashcraft, separatedby 223 days from his Mil-ford squads 2014
season-ending win against Love-land, looked in midsea-son form,
completing 8 of14 passes for 183 yardsand the two touchdownsin the
first quarter.
Its a good feeling,Ashcraft said. You missit a lot. You dont
reallyknow how much you missit until after you strap on
your pads that last time.He finished with 366
passing yards and fivetouchdowns, both newall-star game
records.
It means a lot, actual-ly, Ashcraft said. Be-cause Ive been
workingmy (butt) off trying to getto this game.
Diving interceptionsby Asa Palmer (Wyo-ming) and Kiowa
Whaley(North College Hill)
helped the West defenseslow the East passinggame in the third
quar-ter.
Mount Healthy run-ning back Hjavier Pittscashed in the
Palmerpick with a 1-yard touch-down run to cut the defi-cit to
19-12, but the Weststars could never get thelead.
Edgewood quarter-back Trace Reynolds
threw touchdown passesto Pitts and Fred Riley(Fairfield) to lead
theWest offense.
The East stars out-gained West 458 to 206 intotal yardage. T.J.
Beach(Amelia) led the East de-fense with five tackles,two for
loss.
The win marked theEasts eighth in the lastnine years. The
Eastleads the series 22-18.

Saturday the Kinnerspicked me up early thenwent to the World
Har-vest Church in CanalWinchester, Ohio. TheKinners daughter
Clairewas inducted into thehonor society. She wasselected to be a
memberof the Cardinal CrestMembership. It is basedon being
scholarly, lead-ership, service, charac-ter and citizenship.
The young lady is veryactive in her young life.She graduated
from theeighth-grade. The otheryoung lady, Grace, grad-uated from
high school,Ohio Virtual Academy.There were 400 studentsthat
graduated that day.The church where theevent took place held5,000

beautiful.
After we left theydropped their childrenoff at the 4-H Camp

to a50th wedding celebrationat the Maple Ridge Lodgein Cincinnati.
These twofolks, Mort and Barb,have been friends ofRuth Ann and me
sincewe attended the 2020program several yearsago. There was a
bigcrowd there and the food
was extragood. Theydid somecelebrat-ing of thepast

enjoyed the event.On Sunday after
church my daughter Deband son-in-law Bob tookme to Kentucky to
meetsome folks and have ameal at the DeShas res-taurant. This
restaurantwas several miles aboveMaysville and we had afine meal.
After we atewe went back to Mays-ville to visit some of thehomes
the fellar and hiswife are rehabbing. I wasvery tired by the time
Igot home so Chestercould lay on my lap. Thisday was for me, it
wasmy birthday.
I had to stop writing toput more dry food inChesters bowl. When
hecan see the bottom, hethinks I should be puttingmore food in his
bowl. Heis spoiled, I think.
The whole weekendwas wonderful. I have awonderful family I
thankGod for them. When I gotthe Sunday paper therewas an article
about ayoung man walkingacross the United States.He was raised in
Hawaii.This is a spiritual andemotional journey. Heleft Point

he keeps histent and other things.
The Sherrys Pay Lakeon Slade Road last weekhad some visitors
