During the firstfour months of2014, MiamiTownship resi-dents and busi-nesses takingpart in a naturalgas aggregationprogram saved

a total of $206,000, township of-ficials said.

If a majority of voters ap-prove the issue, the electric ag-

gregation program would like-lystart in latespring,TownshipAdministrator Larry Fronksaid.

In July, theMiamiTownshipBoardofTrusteesagreedtoputthe electric aggregation issueon the general election ballotafter many residents ex-pressed interest in such a pro-gram, Fronk said. Township of-ficials alsowere looking for an-otherway to saveonelectricity

after a cost-saving partnershipbetween the township andDuke Energy Retail expiredlast Dec. 31.

“The township saw an in-crease in our electric bill afterthat program expired,” Fronksaid. “We were looking for an-other means of saving on elec-tricity.”

Just in time for theChristmas shopping sea-son. St. ColumbanChurchis hosting a fair trade salefrom10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sat-urday,Nov.1, in theparishhall.

“It’s a craft sale,” saidJudy Alten, member ofthe St. Columban socialjustice ministry organiz-ing theevent. “Thepeoplewill find scarves, jewelry,baskets and decorations.It’s nice thoughtful giftsfor Christmas.”

No toys, but there willbe ornaments and nativ-ity sets on display and forsale. This is more thanjust a craft sale. All thegoods offered at this“Fair Trade” sale arehand-crafted by people inthird-world countries.

“The money goes backto the artisans and pro-ducers,” Alten said. “Wewant the entire communi-ty to come.”

The sale is not a fund-raiser for the church.Educating the communi-ty about fair trade, “to goout and buy fair trade,” isthe goal of Alten and theSt. Columban social jus-

tice ministry. So, what isfair trade?

“It’s a way of doingbusiness in a more justway,” Alten said, “involv-ing the producer – whichis a farmer, grower, an ar-tisan – mostly in ThirdWorld countries and cus-tomers who receive theproduce or items. Itmakes it possible forthem to earn a just wage,send their children toschool, get health care,and support their family.”

Alten felt compelled totake action after she andher husband, Ed, partici-pated in a Catholic teach-ing program known asJust Faith. The programteaches the Catholic So-cial beliefs all human lifeis a creation of God, wor-thyofrespectanddignity.

It raised their awarenessof the many injustices allover the world. She real-ized fair trade helps peo-ple on a one-to-one basis.They immediately had afair trade event at thechurch.

“My heart waschanged when I took theJust Faith course,” shesaid. “People deserve tolive, and live well.’

Ed Alten has sharedhis passion for social jus-tice for years as an in-volved practicing Catho-lic parishioner. He likesthe fair trade sale as aneffective way to involveand educate many peoplein social justice.

“In someway that edu-cates people, and perhapsmotivates them to buyfair trade todo something

for somebody else theywould not normally havedone.” he said, “In doingthose kinds of things,you’re behaving like Je-sus would.”

Nancy Kimemia, ajewelry artisan originallyfrom Kenya, will be onhand making, and sellingher jewelry, and sharing

her story first-hand withvisitor to the St. Colum-ban Fair Trade sale. Fairtrade-approved productson sale at the St. Colum-ban event are being sup-plied through SERRV incooperation with theCatholic Relief Services.SERRV partners withmore than 70 community-based organizations in 36countries around theworld. They work withthousands of small-scaleartisans and farmers inAfrica, Asia, Latin Amer-

ica, and other developingregions to create econom-ic opportunity so thoseproducers can supporttheir families.

Judy Alten comparesFair Trade sales support-ing producers, artisans;the people of ThirdWorldcountries to the well-known Good Samaritanstory in the Bible.

“He was looking outfor thispersonasahumanbeing, and for his digni-ty,”Altensaid. “Canwedoany less?”

AlthoughMiami Town-ship officials included in-formation about the issuein their fall newsletterthat went to townshiphouseholds, Fronk saidthere is no formal support

of the issue, nor is thereany organized opposition.

“It’s just out there,” hesaid. “It’s not a tax, andyou don’t have to partici-pate in it if you don’t wantto.”

St. Jude Children’s Re-search Hospital.

Great holiday giftitems will be availablefrom well-known ven-dors like Mary Kay, ThePampered Chef, Tupper-ware, Tastefully Simple,even buckeyes and turtlecandy made by SigmaChi of ESA and manymore.

“All our vendors haveagreed to give a nicepercentage of their pro-ceeds to St. Jude,” saidLoveland resident SusanSchenz, a member of theSigma Chi chapter here.She’ll be there helping toserve light refreshmentsto the shoppers. They didthis last year and believeit’s a good time for peo-ple to do some Christmasshopping.

“It’s shopping with apurpose,” Schenz said.“Everything wemakegoes to St. Jude’s.”

St. Jude Children’sResearch Hospital wasfounded in 1962 by actorDanny Thomas with amission to advancecures, and means of pre-vention, for pediatriccatastrophic diseasesthrough research andtreatment. His vision wasto provide treatment forall children no mattertheir race, religious be-liefs, or ability to pay. Nochild is denied treatment.

“It’s the children,”Schenz said, explainingwhy ESA and the SigmaChi chapter chose St.Jude as their focus since1972. “There’s nothingworse than having yourchild sick, except notbeing able to pay for thecare. At St. Jude’s, ifyour child is sick, you donot have to pay, every-thing is covered. Theytake care of these peo-

The Heritage Presby-terian Church in Masonis hosting the secondannual “Shop for St.Jude” sale Saturday, Nov.8.

The event is spon-sored by the local areaSigma Chi chapter of theEpsilon Sigma Alphainternational servicesorority in support of the

ple.”Schenz said the 23

members of the SigmaChi chapter here comefrom not only Lovelandlike herself, but allaround the Cincinnatiarea. The ESA sorority isan international serviceorganization founded in1929, but their main fo-cus is to serve St. Jude.The state chapter forOhio is the one that spon-sors the St. Jude Chil-dren’s DreamHome eachyear. This small localchapter has been doingfundraising since 2005.

“Since that time,we’ve made close to$100,000 for out littlechapter,” Schenz said.“Anything we raise goesto St. Jude.”

They started with awomen’s fashion show in2005. That first fundrais-er netted about $1,300. Itgot them thinking abouthow they could raiseeven more money for St.Jude. That led to themholding a “Bunko” fund-raising event every year.

“We got to the pointwhere, at our highestlevel, we made over$17,000 on our ‘Bunko’fundraiser,” she said.“They’ve always beenheld at Heritage Presby-terian Church.”

It started with localchapter founder BonnieBeckett and Sharon Roll,both of whom Schenz metin a Multiple Sclerosissupport group. Theywere looking for a way togive back and focus onsomething other thantheir own illness. Todaythey’ve gone from awomen’s fashion show,the Bunko games, toshopping with a purposeat the Shop for St. Judeevent.

Aproduct ofmore thantwo years of collabora-tion, public forums andonline surveys, ClermontCounty’s 2014-2019 Com-munity Health Improve-ment Plan (CHIP) identi-fiedfourkeyhealth issuesthat need to be improvedin the county:

» obesity;» tobacco use;» drug addiction;»mental health.Clermont County Pub-

lic Health and its manypartners, including theClermont Mental Healthand Recovery Board, theCoroner’s Office, law en-forcement agencies,Mer-cy Health, and the Cler-

mont Family YMCA, be-gan work on the plan in2012 when the group de-vised a CommunityHealth Assessment usinga “Mobilizing for Actionthrough Planning andPartnerships” frameworkdevelopedby theNationalAssociation for City andCounty Health Officials.

Beginning in thespring of 2014, a series oftown halls and public fo-rums were held acrossClermont County to gath-er additional input fromthe public on these issues,said Julianne Nesbit, pub-lic health commissioner.“We wanted to make surethat these issues were

ones that the publicthought needed to be prio-ritized,” Nesbit said.

The CHIP sets specificgoals, strategies and ac-tivities to decrease thebaseline numbers in eachof these categories, Nes-bit said.

For example, in theobesity category (morethan 63 percent of countyadults are overweight orobese), the plan calls for adecrease by August 2019of5percent in thenumberofadultsandchildrenwhodonot engage inanyphys-ical activity.

“It’s great isn’t it? Just per-fect for our lesson today,” John-stone said about her silver owlearrings and matching owlnecklace.

She waited with anticipationin the lobby ready to greet herspecial visitors – and as soon asshe saw the two women withRAPTOR Inc. with three large,white, official-looking cases intow, excitement could not becontained.

“Here they are! They arehere!”

Inside one third-grade roomwhere desks were turned to ac-commodate four classrooms ofstudents, the enthusiasm thatbegan with Johnstone in thelobbyrippled through theaislesof young, inquisitive faces asone of the volunteers intro-duced the great horned owl.

It was amazing.“This was our books brought

to life,” Johnstone said. “Mystudents recently finished a

two-week unit of study on thesubject of owls – this was a per-fect complement to that les-son.”

Along with the great hornedowl, students also saw a barnowl and a screech owl.

LOVELAND — In high schooltournament soccer, it onlytakes one goal to win as Love-land High School’s girls teamfound out Oct. 18 in their finalgame of the season.

The No. 5 seed Lady Tigersfell short to the No. 9 seed St.Ursula, 1-0 for an early exitfromtheDivision Ipostseason.

It was their first loss sinceAug. 23.

Coach Todd Kelly’s crewhad started the season 1-2 withlosses to McNicholas and Ma-son, but had been undefeatedin their next 13 games.

“Wehad a lot of youth on theteam and it might have caughtupwith us in that game,” Kellysaid. “I think we were the bet-ter team, but we weren’t thebetter team on Saturday (Oct.18). That’s one of themost bru-tal and unforgiving thingsabout soccer; the best teamdoesn’t always win. If we playthemmultiple times, I thinkwewould probably beat them ifwe were on our best game.”

In a one-and-out format, itwas St. Ursula who peaked forthe victory to earn a spot in thesectional final. Loveland fin-ished the season 12-3-2 and 5-0-2 in the league for the East-ern Cincinnati Conferencechampionship.

Four seniors now depart,but18players could return. It’sone of the bigger rosters Kellyhas had in his 18 years at Love-land.

Corynne Swift, HaleighGoedde, Katie Wright and Ab-by Klueh said their on-fieldgoodbyes after the difficultloss. Current plans call forSwift to continue her career atWalsh, with Goedde playing atTiffin.

Both are among the numer-ous Lady Tigers up for Cincin-nati Hills League and city hon-ors. Both were also four-yearvarsity players. Swift led theteam in scoring and was thirdin the CHL, Goedde was sec-ond on the team and eighth in

the league.“Theywon50games in their

four years,” Kelly said. “Thosetwo have accomplished quite abit.”

Swift’s freshmansister,Col-leen, is part of the youthmove-ment that shouldprovideLove-land some depth for years tocome. The Lady Tigers fea-tured five freshman, eightsophomores and five juniors.

Among those finishing inthe top30 in theCHLinscoringfor Loveland were juniorsCourtney Spicer and AndreaGomez, sophomores ClaireBeran and Danielle Kenyon

and freshmen Taylor Nuncioand the younger Swift.

Junior Hannah Fischer andfreshmen keepers LaurenParker and Taylor Thole an-chored the defense.

“They (the younger play-ers) arepretty talentedand theother piece was we were deal-ing with injuries at the time,”Kelly said. “(Claire) Beranmissed eight games and shewas our top goal scorer return-ing.Thatgave someopportuni-ties to freshmen and sopho-mores that kind of took advan-tage of the time. That bodeswell for the future.”

Loveland senior Haleigh Goedde runs on the field for the Lady Tigers in aSeptember game against Walnut Hills. Goedde will continue her soccercareer at Tiffin.

The season has played outsomewhat like the movie“Groundhog Day.”

Like last fall, to get to thestate semifinals, Mount NotreDame High School’s field hock-ey team had to defeat Ursuline.A 2-0 win over Fairmont on Oct.22 put the Cougars in the “eliteeight” matchup with the topseed from Blue Ash.

The Lions’ No. 1 seed was anissue with MND as they had al-ready defeated them 2-1 onSept. 25. While the two GirlsGreater Catholic Leagueschools share common beliefs,on the field it’s Hatfields andMcCoys.

“I would say Ursuline is ourbiggest rivalry in field hockey,”coach Beth Vonderbrink said.“Feels like it’s a repeat of lastyear.”

Exactlyonemonthafter theylast met, the Cougars and Lionshad a classic confrontation Sat-urday, with MND prevailingagain 4-3 to earn a second con-secutive trip to Upper Arling-ton and the Division I statesemifinals. They will play atnoon Friday against ShakerHeights at Upper Arlington.

According to the team Twit-ter account @MND_FH, MountNotre Dame has gone two sea-sons undefeated in the SouthWestOhioFieldHockeyLeague– all 20 games.

Several seniors will now

have their swan song in Colum-bus.

Among thosedeparting fromthis year’s crew who have ledMND are Moriah Flynn, SarahPisciotta, Ashley Wittman andCaroline Warming. Ally Benzhas been in goal, shutting outnumerous opponents.

“Wereallyrelyonher leader-ship in the backfield,” Vonder-brink said. “Most of the seniorshave played four years. Theyknow what it’s all about, theyknowwhat it takes to be ready.”

Thus far, only one seniorwillbe playing in college next sea-son, and that will be in a differ-ent sport. Flynn has committedto play for an up-and-coming la-crosse program at Marquette.Vonderbrink feels her mentaland physical toughnesswill suither well in the Big East.

“She’s very aggressive andknows how to handle herself incompetitive situations,” Von-derbrink said. “We call her ‘TheBulldog.’ ”

The MND coach would nowlike to get the Cougars beyondthe semifinals where they lost adifficult match with GahannaColumbus Academy1-0 in over-timeayearago.In2004,Vonder-brink was able to make a statefinal as a player, as MND fin-ished as runner-up.

“They need to get them-selves one,” Vonderbrink said.“They’ve worked really hardthis year.We’ve had our ups anddowns, but in tournament time,they’re ready to play.”

BLUE ASH — The sum-mer of 2013was aproduc-tive one for UrsulineAcademy cross countryrunner Grace Kelly, or soit seemed. She was run-ningwell inworkouts andtime trials and appearedprimed for a solid juniorseason. Then, for no ap-parent reason, her per-formance began to de-cline.

“I wasn’t really surewhy I was running soslow,”Kelly said. “I’m thetype of person that keepsrunning and running. Ididn’t realizehow injuredI was. I was relieved itwasn’t all in my head.There was a reason mytimes were dropping.”

Kelly hadmade a com-mon mistake amongcross country runners:She tried to do too much.

“She really wanted tobe so good, but her bodywasn’t letting her,” saidLions coach Rachel Bea.“When you do too muchtoo soon in cross country,it can backfire on you.She worked so hard overthe summer that she wasin tip-top shape at thestart of the year, and shegot hurt.”

In order to prevent astress fracture or othertype of injury, Kellyspent last season on thesidelines. She then em-barkedonher senioryearin the right frame ofmind and body. And, theproof is in the results.

Kelly is coming off astrong performance atthe recent Division I dis-trict meet at Voice ofAmerica Park in WestChester in which she fin-ished in second place, be-hind Mason’s MeaganMurphy.

“It was a performancethat spoke volumes,” saidBea, in her second seasonat UA. “It was onewe hadbeen waiting and lookingfor. Shehadbeenhangingaround 19 minutes for awhile, but we knew therewas so much more there.And then she steppedout.”

Kelly, who crossed thefinish line in 18:32.03,said of her performanceat districts, “It went al-most exactly as I plannedit in my head.”

It wasn’t the first timethis season thatKelly haddelivered a memorableperformance.

On Sept. 1, she won theRyle Invitational in18:58.30, the only sub-19-

minute time among 136runners. Three weekslater, she finished first atthe Midwest CatholicChampionships in Day-ton.

Kelly also finishedsecondat theGirlsGreat-er Catholic League meetand fourth at the St.Xavi-er Invitational.

“I’ve been a huge dropin time and huge im-provements this year,”Kelly said. “The key is Itook more time off aftertrack season. Last year, Itook one week off andthen went full-bore. Thisyear, I gave my bodymore time to heal.”

On Saturday, Kellywill join her Ursulineteammates at the Divi-sion I regional champion-ships in Troy, Ohio. TheLions are hoping to earn achance to improve on lastyear’s third-place finishat the state meet.

Kelly said this is thebest she’s felt physicallyat anypoint in her varsitycareer. With her physicalailments behind her, Kel-ly is aiming high thisweekend at regionals.

“I’m not concernedabout time,” she said.“I’m keeping my eyes ontop 3, and seeing howclose I can get.”

At the Loveland City SchoolDistrict we strive to develop aculture of kindness. Part ofthis initiative is articulated inthe My Voice, My Choice pro-gram – a program that oper-ates under the belief that weall have a voice, and we have tomake a choice if we will pro-mote kindness.

We are lucky to have manydedicated people who helpmake this program possible ineach of our schools. EveryOctober the district kicks off amonth-long kindness campaignusing the My Voice, My Choiceplatform but with a uniquetheme. This year, our theme is“Be an Upstander.”

So, what is an Upstander?It’s actually pretty simple.

When they see something thatis not right, or they knowsomebody needs help – theystep in. They serve as an Up-stander for others. We wantour Tigers to know that we arehere to care for other people –

we care fortheir feelings,we care forhow they aretreated, andwe care forthem as a per-son. And, that’swhat’s reallyimportant.

Our goal ishelp studentsknow that we

support their positive behav-ior. We also have speakers whocome in and reinforce the ideaof treating others with careand respect. This year JustinBachman, a former Lovelandstudent, came to talk to ourmiddle and high school stu-dents. He focused on the im-portance of self worth, theimpact of exclusion, being anUpstander and Living Loud –being proud of who you areand being true to yourself. Weare glad that Justin couldshare his message with our

students and help themmake adifference for others.

The district makes a pointto recognize students who havedecided to be Upstanders intheir schools. Now, we arepreparing to share those sto-ries with you, our Tiger Fam-ily. You will now see a QuickLink on our district website(www.lovelandschools.org)called My Voice, My Choice.This link will keep you in-formed about all of the waysthe district is working to cre-ate a culture of kindness, and itwill feature the Loveland Up-stander students who we are soproud to congratulate.

I encourage you to take thetime to take a look at our MyVoice, My Choice program;this is just one more way theLoveland City School Districtis preparing students for to-morrow, today.

Chad Hilliker is superintendent ofthe Loveland City School District.

Restore funding cutsto PWC

People Working Coopera-tively plays a crucial role inthe City of Cincinnati provid-ing critical home repairs andservices so that low income,elderly, disabled homeownersand veterans can remain intheir homes living indepen-dently in a safe and healthyenvironment.

Our mission to help asmany people in our communi-ty as we can is now at seriousrisk. The City of Cincinnati,who we consider a supportivepartner, has recommended areduction on PWC’s budget.Recent action by City Counciland the Mayor has restoredsome of the recommendedreduction. For this we areappreciative.

However, PWC is so effec-tive in maximizing everydollar, I believe the fundingneeds to be restored in full.The organization is ranked in

the highest category by theCommunity DevelopmentAdvisory Board and is a mod-el for organizations aroundthe country.

For every dollar the Cityallocates to PWC, PWC turnsit into $3 by creatively secur-ing matching gifts andgrants. In turn, the loss ofevery dollar is actually a lossof $3 to the PWC budget.Continuing full financialsupport of PWC is such a wiseinvestment by Cincinnati inCincinnati and a wise use ofthe taxpayer dollars.

I am asking our city lead-ers to reconsider cuts to PWCand to restore all funding tothis effective and efficientorganization. The city’s re-turn on investment with PWCis significant but the impactof PWC’s work in our Cincin-nati neighborhoods and fam-ilies is far greater.

Oct. 22 questionTwo women were killed

when hit by a vehicle whilewalkingalongOldColerainAve-nue and East Miami River Roadearlier thismonth.Whatprecau-tions do you take when walk-ing?

“Walk/run facing traffic –and step aside when you seetraffic coming. Wear brightcolored clothing (even re-flective clothing) to assureyou are easily seen by on-coming vehicles.”

C.G.

“I really like to walk andconsider it a perfect non-damaging, low cost, exer-cise. After leaving a job thatprovided me with the oppor-tunity to frequently takevery long walks in newplaces, I tried several waysto use our public roadwaysand sidewalks to see Ander-son from a new perspective.Now, I have a volunteer posi-tion that can keep me on myfeet for hours, and, so far,help me keep those ‘unem-ployment inches’ from re-quiring a new wardrobe.

“I don’t knowwhat time ofday this took place, but obvi-ously, if it was at night, wehave all seen pedestrianswho seem clueless when itcomes to wearing highly vis-ible clothing or reflectivebelts if walking at night.Walking on the side of theroad, facing traffic, in mostcases allows the walker todetermine an oncomingthreat. I haven’t masteredselecting routes at all timeswithout sharp bends in theroad,butamextracautious ifthere is not enough side area

toallowmetomoveoutof theway, on the side uponwhich Iam walking. In AndersonTownship, many of our sub-division streets have side-walks, for which we home-owners pay extra taxes. Ihave a question for all thosewho seem to feel that walk-ing in the street, even whenthere are sidewalks, is some-how a pedestrian preroga-tive. Why?

“By the way, as winter ap-proaches, walking beforesidewalks are cleaned, or us-ing the plowed streets be-cause someone hasn’tcleaned their sidewalk, is areally goodway to put a driv-er in an awkward and unde-sired position in already haz-ardous driving conditions.”

Don Brown“I walk a lot but I always

walk in daylight facing on-coming traffic. I move offthe road when a car ap-proaches. I prefer to walk onside streets where there aresidewalks. Walking at duskor later scares me. Thereseems to be more cars (rushhour) and faster drivers atthat time of day. Go Fig-ure!!!”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONDid you or will you vote earlythis year, or will you wait untilElection Day? Why?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.

As the election approaches,there is a lot of talk about theeconomy and job creation.Unfortunately, a lot of it is justthat – talk.

In a recent column in thispaper, my opponent spent a lotof time talking about a so-called bipartisan jobs groupthat he would form to talkabout job creation. What hedoesn’t talk about – any sub-stantive proposals to actuallycreate jobs.

Here is what I think weshould actually do to spur jobcreation.

Because small businessesare the backbone of our econo-my, employing more than halfof the U.S. workforce and cre-ating seven out of every 10 newjobs, they must be the focus ofour efforts. As small businessowners in this community andacross the country have toldme, the key to job creation isremoving the obstacles thatprevent their businesses fromgrowing and adding employ-ees.

The first obstacle we must

address is thedifficultymany smallbusinesseshave accessingcapital. I haveintroducedseveral pro-posals thatwould help, atno cost to tax-payers, in-crease the

flow of much-needed, privatecapital into small businesses,thereby allowing them to ex-pand operations and hiring.

Next, we should help easethe regulatory burden on smallbusinesses. Given their limitedresources, it is particularlydifficult for small businessesto navigate the labyrinth ofburdensome regulations com-ing out of Washington. To ad-dress this growing burden, theHouse has passed several bi-partisan reforms to the rule-making process, including aproposal to require federalagencies to seek regulatoryalternatives that are less costly

for smaller companies.We should work to expand

trade opportunities for smallfirms. Due to the complexmaze of trade rules and reg-ulations both foreign and do-mestic, less than one percentof small businesses activelyexport their products. To helpboost small business exports, Ihave proposed streamliningthe complicated export proc-ess and providing small busi-nesses access to the tools theyneed to sell their productsabroad. Simply put, more ex-ports mean more jobs.

These common-sense, bipar-tisan proposals will help pro-vide small businesses the cap-ital and resources they need togrow, expand and create jobs. Iam hopeful that after the elec-tion, we will finally have aSenate that is willing to workwith the House to enact thesecritical reforms.

Put focus on small businesses

SteveChabotCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Each year, my husband isdiligent about getting his flushot. Only when he badgers theheck out of me do I relent andreluctantly make my way tothe doctor.

Don’t think I’m not grateful,because when I ammadeaware of friends who havebeen stricken with the flu, I amforced to eat my words andthank him profusely for forc-ing me into it.

It is a fact that the older weare, our immune systemsweaken. So, surrendering tohis coaxing has proven itsworth. How?Well, I’ve not hadthe flu since I’ve been gettingthe flu shot. So, knock on wood,kick up my immune boostersupplements, and wince buttake on the needle, I’ve decid-ed that I will do anything toavoid the “yuck.”

The true reality is that get-ting the flu shot helps olderadults stay healthier through-out the flu season. It can alsohelp keep anyone with chronicdisease from compromising

any wellnessefforts un-dertaken. Themost seriousimplications,and evendeath, resultwhen seasonalflu occurs inpeople overthe age of 65who have un-derlying med-

ical conditions.According to Medline Plus,

a service of the U.S. NationalLibrary of Medicine, “Yourimmune system helps protectyour body from foreign orharmful substances...The im-mune systemmakes cells andantibodies that destroy harm-ful substances.” So, the bottomline is that the immune systemchanges, doesn’t work as well,is slower to respond, allows foran increase in the risk of get-ting sick, and affects our re-covery time.

The Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention recom-

mends that you get a flu shotevery year if you are age 50 orolder. An annual flu shot canprevent the flu and relatedserious complications andhospitalization. Vaccines areavailable from your primarycare physician, at area clinicsand even at local participatingpharmacies. Your insurancemay cover necessary vaccines,and if you’re 65 and older, theflu and pneumonia vaccinesare covered byMedicare PartB.

Think about getting theshot. This is a personal choiceand, like every other health-related issue, needs to be dis-cussed with your physician.Regardless, remember to seekemergency care if you becomeill.

Summerfair announces2015 poster contestI had nuts left over

frommaking cara-mel apples so I de-

cided to make somepeanut brittle. Peanutbrittle can be a trickycandy to make, andsome of my recipes callfor a candy thermom-eter along with the addi-tion of baking soda,neither of which thisrecipe requires. I willtell you that this peanutbrittle doesn’t have the“snap” and somewhatairy texture of tradition-al brittle. Regardless,it’s sooo good.

I’m thinking I shouldhave waited until theholidays to share since itmakes a fabulous giftfrom the kitchen. Butyou know me, if I makesomething that is awe-somely good, I can hard-ly wait to share. Makethis now and save therecipe to make duringthe holidays. Betchacan’t eat just one piece!

Simple peanutbrittle

Chock full of nuts. Ifyou want more of brit-tle, use less nuts. Adapt-ed from Melanie Bar-nard’s recipe. As Melan-ie told me “follow direc-tions and it works everytime.” If all you have inthe frig is salted butter,that’s OK to use.

1/2 stick unsaltedbutter

1/2 cup sugar2 tablespoons corn

syrup - I’ve used bothlight and dark andprefer dark

1 teaspoon vanilla2 cups salted mixed

nuts or peanutsLine cookie sheet

with foil and spray it.

Stir butter,sugar andcorn syrupin panover medi-um heatuntil sugarmelts andmixturebubblesand be-comes

smooth. Cover and cookfor a minute. Stir invanilla and nuts andcook, stirring constantly,until nuts are fragrantand golden brown, about5 minutes. Don’t over-cook. Pour onto foil,spreading thin. Cool andbreak apart. Store, tight-ly covered, at roomtemperature up to aweek.

Baked potatoeswith cheese saucelike Wendy’s

For the reader whowants to avoid buyingthese through Wendy’sdrive thru. Homemadeis always better! Here’sa cheese sauce that’s soversatile. It’s good onbroccoli and other veg-gies, too. Sometimes I’llwhisk in a squirt of Di-jon or dry mustard withthe milk mixture. Sharpor mild cheddar workequally well.

And here’s a questionI get asked a lot: can youuse any kind of potatoesfor baking? Well, yes,but the true baking pota-toes, like Idaho, havemore starch in them andbake up drier and fluffy.And they’re really thebest, I think, for mashedpotatoes. Others, likered, will bake up more“waxy” and firm. My

take on it? The bakersare best, but if all youhave are red or otherkinds, go for it.

4 nice sized bakedpotatoes

2 Tablespoons butter2 Tablespoons flourSalt & pepper1 cup milk1-1/2 cups shredded

cheddarMelt butter in pan

over medium heat. Addflour and whisk for oneminute. Slowly whisk inmilk and whisk untilthickened, about 5 min-utes. Remove from heatand stir in cheese untilsmooth. Add salt andpepper to taste.

Make a lengthwisesplit in potatoes. Smooshup at both ends to openand fluff up. Pourcheese sauce over.

Tip from Rita’skitchen: Broccoliand cheese stuffedpotatoes

Steam some broccoli

florets and add beforepouring on cheese.

Readers want toknow: are beetsgood for you?

You bet they are.Boost your brainpowerwith beets. As we age,poor blood flow contrib-utes to cognitive decline.Research shows thatbeets can help increaseblood flow to the brain,which helps improvemental alertness andperformance and mayhelp prevent Alzheim-er’s.

Eat them roastedwith red onions, oliveoil, rosemary andthyme, then drizzledwith Balsamic vinegarfor a true feast.

Whenbuying anew car isit a goodidea toimmedi-ately buyan extend-ed servicewarranty?Manypeople dothat, but if you do, youhave to be very carefulabout just what you arebuying.

When John Scudder, ofHillsboro, bought a newcar a few years ago hesaid he didn’t think twicewhen asked about buyingan extended service war-ranty. “She asked, ‘Doyou want a 60,000-milewarranty?’ I said, ‘OK,sure,’” Scudder said.

It was only later thathe asked about the par-ticular warranty hebought and found it wasfrom an independentcompany, not from thevehicle manufacturer.Scudder said he ran intoproblems when he tookhis car into another deal-er and showed his war-ranty.

“He said, “We don’taccept it.’ I went to mymechanic and he doesn’taccept it. Then he went toanother mechanic – butno one accepted it,” Scud-der said.

The dealer who soldhim the policy said therewas no problem, that heshould bring the car backto them.

“He said, ‘If you

brought the car backhere we would have ac-cepted it.’ But, what ifI’m in Florida? Mydaughter is a doctordown there. I would haveto tow it back 2,000 milesand it just doesn’t makesense,” Scudder said.

Scudder paid $2,200for the warranty and saidhe now realizes he shouldhave bought the manu-facturer’s extended ser-vice warranty instead.

“If it was a Hondawarranty they wouldcover it. I didn’t need touse it because myHondaran great. But they saidbecause it’s not a Hondawarranty they won’t eventalk with you.” Scuddersaid.

Consumer Reports hasfound most readers spentmore on their warrantythan they saved in re-pairs. But if you stillwant to buy a warrantyyou don’t have to do soimmediately. You canwait until just before theoriginal warranty ex-pires to buy the extendedwarranty.

If you wait you’ll knowwhether you really wantto keep the car. But beadvised, you will prob-ably have to pay more forthe extended warranty atthat point.

Be careful whenbuying extendedcar warranty

An-ski,the film was shot on location inPoland in 1937, and evokes thecultural richness of both shtetlcommunities and Polish Jewryon the eve of World War II.As Rabbi David Siff explained,“The Dybbuk is about a youngwoman possessed by a wander-ing spirit in need of an exor-cism.

PUMPKIN PATCHES

More than 500 seniorshad Christmas gifts lastyear because of the gen-erosity of the communityand the hard work of thevolunteers and staff atClermont Senior Ser-vices.

Preparations forAdopt-a-Senior 2014 arehave begun. The Adopt-a-Senior program aims tomatch seniors with gen-erous members of thecommunity who agree topurchase items from awish list to be deliveredjust in time for Christ-mas. The senior turns intheir wish list consistingof very basic items theymay not otherwise re-ceive. The program alsoaccepts gift cards andmonetary donations foritems of higher valuethat some seniors mayneed such as a micro-wave or vacuum cleaner.

When gifts start arriv-ing at the Clermont Sen-ior Services office, vol-unteer Carol Kirby be-

gins the process of ensur-ing they get delivered tothe intended recipient.Kirby matches the volun-teers and donors andsends the gifts to be de-livered in mid-December.

Gifts from this pro-grammay be the onlygift that particular per-

son will receive forChristmas and the joy ontheir faces is contagious.Even though most itemsare basic necessities, itmeans the world to therecipient to know thatsomeone was thinking ofthem during the holidayseason.

If you would like moreinformation about theAdopt-a-Senior programat Clermont Senior Ser-vices, please contactKathy Angel, manager ofvolunteer resources, at513-536-4021 or email [email protected]

Clermont Countycatches up with backlogunder Medicaid expan-sion

Clermont County hascaught up with the back-log of applicants causedby the expansion of Me-dicaid in Ohio.

Under the AffordableCare Act, Medicaid eligi-bility was expanded inOhio beginning Jan. 1,leading to a surge ofapplicants throughoutthe state. The number ofnew applicants, plusissues with the federal

marketplace exchange(www.healthcare.gov),where many applicantsbegan the process,caused the backlog, saidJudy Eschmann, directorof Clermont County De-partment of Job andFamily Services, whichhandles Medicaid.

Households up to 138percent of the federalpoverty level are noweligible for coverage.(For a family of four, thisis $32,499.) The stateestimated that more than275,000 Ohioans would benewly eligible underthese income guidelines.In Clermont County,12,632 newMedicaidapplications have beenprocessed; of those, 8,097were approved and 4,535were denied.

Shonya Agin, assistantdirector for Public Assis-tance at DJFS, said thatwhen she began her newposition in August, thecounty had a backlog ofabout 1,800 electronicapplications, as well asanother 300-400 paper

applications. The federalexchange did not processapplications quickly, shenoted, and many werestuck in limbo formonths.

“If they applied lastOctober, and hadn’theard back, we told themto apply again,” Aginsaid.

In August and Septem-ber, her team quicklycleaned up the backlogusing the new Ohio In-tegrated Eligibility Sys-tem, and focused on newapplications as theycame in. “Once someoneapplies, we understandthe urgency and processthe application as quicklyas possible, but we haveup to 30 days to make anaccurate eligibility deter-mination,” Agin said.

Under the new guide-lines, many more low-income adults who do nothave dependents areeligible. This often in-cludes people workingpart time or at low-wagejobs that do not offerhealth insurance.
