Video, social media helpcops catch two suspects

MILFORD — Police Chief Ja-mey Mills wants to make onething clear: “The Daffornspicked the wrong business inthe wrong town to victimize.”

Mills is referring to the re-cent arrest of Kenneth andKristina Dafforn of Milford forthe theft of two large flower-pots from a business in Septem-ber.

The Dafforns are accused ofstealing thepots –worth an esti-mated total of $300 – from out-side the frontdoorof IntelligentBiometric Controls at 601Brooklyn Ave. in Milford.

With somehelp from thepublic, You-Tube, Face-book andCrime Stop-pers, the flow-erpots havebeen found andreturned to

their owner.“The case was important to

mebecause it’s easy to overlookthe small-dollar cases withouttaking into consideration theimpact to the victim,” Millssaid.

Scott Bosley of Milford, whoownsIntelligentBiometricCon-trols, is one happy former vic-

tim.“I am so pleased to have (the

pots) back,” Bosley said.“It’s the principle of the

thing.”It was Bosley who got the in-

vestigation ball rolling by post-ing surveillance video of thetheft on YouTube.

The video shows a coupleMilford police later identifiedas the Dafforns driving up to

the flowerpots, dumping outrocks designed to deter theftfrom the sheer weight of thepots and making short work ofthrowing them into a car.

It was about 5 p.m. Sept. 15,which was a Sunday.

“Obviously they had scopedit out,” Bosley said.

Just as obviously, the thievescaught on tape did not see thesurveillance camera pointed atthem – which they might havelooked for had they known thatIntelligent Biometric Controlsis a security company that spe-cializes in fingerprint-based ac-cess-control devices.

Bosley enlisted the help ofpolice, who enhanced his sur-veillance video with specialsoftware and then posted it onMilford’s Facebook page. Offi-cers also called in Crime Stop-pers.

MIAMI TWP. — Travelingsouth on Wolfpen-Pleasant HillRoad residents face a danger-ous curve once they get pastKimberly Lane.

“Essentially it goes downhillpretty significantly and thenthere is a hard turn to the right.(There is) basically a hill on oneside and a creek on the other,”said Craig Stephenson, chiefdeputy engineer for ClermontCounty.

When it rains, that section ofthe road becomes slippery – itsguardrail is proof of that.

“The guardrail is reallydinged up,” said Mary MakleyWolff, Miami Township trustee.

That’s why yellow crash bar-rels were put in place, but thatwas more than 10 years ago.

“We know there have been(safety issues) that’s the reasonthecrashbarrels are out there,”Stephenson said.

“It’s been an ongoing prob-lem, we just didn’t have the re-sources (to address it).”

Officials have not talked toproperty owners on the streetyet, so Stephenson couldn’t saywith certainty what is going tobe done.

“We might be getting a little

aheadofourselves ...but (we’re)looking to eliminate the currentsafety problem on Wolfpenthrough either a new retainingwall or some realignment of theroad.”

Officials from the county en-gineer’s office have applied forOhio Public Works Commissionfunding for the project, whichcurrent estimates predict willcost taxpayers more than $1million.

“Generally, (with) thesetypes of projects, there’s a rea-son we’re going out for fund-ing,” Stephenson said.

“We would be fairly relianton the funding, but that’s not to

say if we didn’t get the fundingthis year we would never do it –it just probably wouldn’t hap-pen next year.”

Agrantwon’tbe finalizedun-til nextyear,butofficials shouldknow something informally lat-er this month or early nextmonth, he said.

“Wewouldwant to do itwhenschool is out next year – some-time between June and the endofAugust,at the leastheavylift-ing (of the project).”

No designs or specifics havebeen worked up, but officialsare currently soliciting lettersof interest from consulting en-gineers – basically proposals

detailing a company’s back-ground, credentials and ideasfor the project.

“It’s going to be a huge task,”said Larry Fronk, chairman ofthe Clermont County Transpor-tation Improvement District.

But while funding dollarsaren’t guaranteed, “it’s time forthis (project) to get done,” Ste-phenson said.

“Wolfpen is an importantnorth-south connector,” he said.

“So we’re really lookingcountywide at how can we tar-get thecorridors ...wehave thatare heavily traveled, reallymaking an investment in thoseroads for the traveling public.”

County officials applied for funding from the Ohio Public Works Commission to improve this curve on Wolfpen-Pleasant Hill Road. Officials are considering realigning the road orputting up a new retaining wall. KEITH BIERYGOLICK/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Both of the Daffornswere scheduled to be ar-raigned on a charge ofmisdemeanor theft Oct.7 in Clermont CountyMunicipal Court.

MILFORD — Five candi-dates are running forthree open positions onthe Milford ExemptedVillage School DistrictBoard of Education.

In a debate conductedby the Milford-MiamiTownship Chamber ofCommerce, candidatesaddressed issues such aslevies,classsize in thedis-trict and what to do withthe Milford Main and Sei-pelt school buildings.

In opening statements,Andrea Brady, an incum-bent, said during her timeon the board the districthas spent less than otherdistricts, but stillachieved at a high level.

“If you elect me I willcontinue that trend,” Bra-dy said.

GaryKnepp, a residentwho previously served ontheboard, said thedistrictwill have to replace Su-perintendent Bob Farrellin the near future.

“That’s the primaryreason I came out of re-tirement,” he said.

Don Lykins, a residentwithchildren in theschoolsystem, said he doesn’twant thedistrict to rest onits laurels.

“My primary goal is toimprove academicachievement,” he said.

“We can do better.”ToddMunro, one of the

founding members of the

Milford Schools Founda-tion, said he wanted to in-crease relations betweenthe community and theschool board.

“What I fear is a dis-connect between theboard and the communi-ty,” he said.

“I’ve seen communitymembers come to meet-ings and be met with si-lence.”

Dave Yockey, theboard’scurrentpresident,said his 30 years as ateacher are invaluable.

“My background iseducational in nature,” hesaid.

One decision the boardfaces is where to con-struct a new Seipeltschool building.

Officials have two op-tions:

Build on the current 9-acre property or build on17 acres of farmland onstate Route 131 east of theMilfordChristianChurch.

“The current Seipeltproperty is paid off,” Bra-dy said.

“The other property isnot developed.”

Knepp raised concernsabout what would go innext at the current Seipeltproperty if the other landwas chosen.

“I would suggest theboard looks at single-fam-ily dwellings” and try tokeep things such as stripmalls out of there, he said.

Lykins said he hadn’tstudied the matter exten-sively, but thought theboard should let the peo-ple of Milford decidewhere the building goes.

“The new land wasPlan A,” Munro said.

“That land (on stateRoute 131) was purchasedusing eminent domain. Ifwe don’t use the site I’mworried about (possible)ramifications.”

Yockeyagreedthe landwas bought specificallywith that new school inmind, but said he waskeeping an open mind un-til more data was gath-ered.

The candidates alsowere asked aboutMilfordMain, a building thathasn’t been used by theschool since 2003.

A Business AdvisoryCommittee was taskedearlier in the year withmaking a recommenda-tion to the board about thebuilding.

The committee recom-mended getting rid of thebuilding.

“The board has not dis-cussed it,” Brady said,adding officials can ig-nore theBusinessAdviso-ry Committee’s recom-

mendations.“It’s too early to make

any types of decisions(about it).”

Knepp pointed out thebuilding is not drainingthe district’s funds and abusinessmodel shouldnotbe applied to discussionsabout the “iconic land-mark.”

When the Business Ad-visory Committee men-tioned at a recent boardmeeting that they shouldunload the building the“hurt is still there,”Knepp said.

Lykins said the build-ing should be put backinto service in order to re-duce class sizes through-out the district.

“I think ithasnewlife,”he said.

Munro mentioned thebuilding’s boiler and roofissues, butwasn’t ready toget rid of it.

“I think we can find ause,” he said.

Yockey said he’s hearda lot of good ideas fromthe community, but allthose ideas require sometype of expenditure.

“Right now it’s payingits own way,” he said.

“We should postponethe decision. We don’twant to rush into demoli-tion.”

In closing statements,Brady said residentsshould vote for her be-cause she is a “true advo-cate for the community.”

Knepp said he’s livedhis entire life in Milfordand pointed to his legalbackground as a vital toolfor the board.

Lykins said a vote forhim is a vote for change.

Munro wasn’t a U.S.citizen until recently, butsaid he’s been extensivelyinvolved with the schoolsbefore because he cares.

Yockey advocated forhis role as a teacher, say-ing it is “an important linkthat needs to be on theboard.”

The operator of a Mil-ford retirement homemust pay a firedmanager$20,000 in back wages af-ter the manager accusedthehomeof retaliation forcomplaining about a bed-bug infestation, a federalmagistrate has ruled.

The manager at SEMTerrace alleged the firinghappened after a com-plaint was filed with theClermont CountyGeneralHealth District. The man-ager filed the complainton or around Sept. 28,2011, and was dismissedon Oct. 5 that same year.

The magistrate ruledSEM Villa II Inc., a non-profit corporation that op-erates SEM Terrace, vio-lated the whistleblowerprovisions of the Occupa-tional Safety and Health

Act of 1970.The U.S. Department

of Labor does not releasenames of employees in-volved in whistleblowercomplaints.

“OSHAiscommitted toprotecting the rights ofAmerica’s workers, whoare penalized or terminat-ed for filing complaintsseeking to improve thesafety and health of theirwork environment andthose affected by it,” saidNick A. Walters, OSHA’sregional administrator inChicago.

“A worker should nev-erbeat risk of losing theirjob for reporting healthand safety violations andexercising their whistle-blower rights.”

In addition to backwages, Federal Magis-trate Judge J. GregoryWehrmanorderedthecor-

poration to remove all de-rogatory information re-lated to the dismissalfrom the worker’s em-ployment record and tocomply with the OSHA inthe future.

The company mustalso post a notice forworkers regarding theirrights under the act.

Employers are prohib-ited from retaliatingagainst employees whoraise various protectedconcerns or provide pro-tected information to theemployer or the govern-ment.

Employees who be-lieve that they have beenretaliated against for en-gaging in protected con-duct may file a complaintwith the secretary of la-bor for an investigationbyOSHA’sWhistleblowerProtection Program.

UNION TWP. — If Cler-mont County residents gointo the Union Townshiplibrary looking for the lat-est season of “BreakingBad” or “How I Met YourMother,” there’s a goodchance theywon’t find it.

Notbecausethelibrarydoesn’t carry those titles,but because 23 percent ofthe branch’s DVD andBlu-ray Disc collectionwere stolen.

“We’re talking roughly200 (items),” said AdamBaker, Clermont CountyPublic Library communi-cationsmanager.

The report filed withthe Union Township Po-lice Department shows185 DVDs worth $6,500were stolen.

Over a period of threemonths, two individualsmanagedtogetaroundthe

library’s security systemand steal several TV boxsets and other high dollaritemswithoutusing force,according the report.

“All of our brancheshave security camerasand security gates at thedoors. It appears thesetwo people found a wayaround that,” Baker said.

“Our collection is opento the public, andwewanttomake it as accessible aspossible, so its unfortu-nate when somebodytakes advantage of that.”

Charles Abney, a 31-year-oldmalewho liveson1560 Bethel-New Rich-mond Road, and AmyDruck, a 46-year-oldfemale who lives on 563Hopper View Bluff, havebeen charged with fifth-degree felonies for theft.

Druck will be sen-tenced later this monthand Abney also will ap-pear in court to enter a

plea for intervention inlieu of conviction, accord-ing to court documents.

After Druck and Ab-ney stole the Blu-rayDiscsandDVDs, theysoldthem to Facet Jewelry,Music and Pawn in Ame-lia.

The twist is althoughthestoreknowsit is inpos-sessionof stolenproperty,ithasnotreturnedyet thatproperty.

“I think it’s reallyshocking that apawnshopwould know that they arein possession ofmaterialsthat belong to the countylibrary and they wouldn’tjust return them uncondi-tionally,” said Joe Braun,president of the libraryboard of trustees in Cler-mont County.

“We purchased thesematerials using taxpayer

dollars andtheyshould bereturned tothe taxpay-ers.”

Repre-sentativesfrom Facetsay the li-brarywill get its propertyback in the “next day ortwo.”

Originally, the storewanted the library to payfor what they bought theitems for, but that is nolonger the case, said Ja-mie Stowell, Facet’s dis-trict manager.

“Intheend, theyarego-ing to get their moviesback andwe’re not askingfor any money fromthem,” Stowell said.

In fact, the librarymight never have foundout it wasmissing proper-ty if it weren’t for Facet,she said.

“We have an employeehere ... (who) used toworkfor the library. She no-ticed we had a DVD forsale and it looked like thestyle of case that camefrom the library,” Stowellsaid.

“Once we found out wehad more in pawn withincertain time frames, westarted pulling those offthe shelves because weknew those probably be-longed to the library.”

At that point, the li-brary didn’t know any-thing was stolen, she said.

“We’re the ones that letthe library know that (the

DVDs) were even here tobegin with,” Stowell said.

“We wanted to helpthem.”

Stowell said Facet fol-lowed its standard proce-dures, and they couldn’thave known the DVDSwere stolen because nopolice report had beenfiled yet.

“Whenwetake items infor pawn or purchaseitemswe email a report tothe local police depart-ment of everything wetake.By law,we only havetoreporttothelocalpolicedepartment, but we send(the report) to 15 jurisdic-tions,” she said.

“Wealsohaveaholdingperiod - 15 days - beforewe can put it out for salejust tomake sure it clearsthe police check. We didall of this.”

Braun said Facet offi-cials want to return thematerial with “certainstrings attached.”

“We needed to havedocumentation. We can’tjust hand over merchan-dise,” Stowell said.

“They need to sign aform that they had re-ceived this merchandiseand that they are the trueowner of these items.”

Despite the situation,public libraries through-out Clermont County willcontinue to offer DVDsand Blu-ray Discs to itsresidents.

“The library haschanged security proce-dures regarding all of ourDVDs, Blu-ray (Discs)and all other electronicproducts,” Braun said.

Some of the more ex-pensive items have beentaken out of their casesandarenowbeingkeptbe-hind the counter.

“They will still be apart of our collection. OurDVD and Blu-ray (Discs)are very popular,” Bakersaid.

Clermont Countyknows how much electricand natural gas supplywill cost for county facil-ities during the next threeyears.

County commissionersrecently approved anagreement with BidURe-nergy Inc. that locks in aprice of about 4.54 centsper kilowatt hour, whichwas the lowest bid provid-ed by Direct Energy.

Four other supplierssubmitted higher bids –Champion Energy Ser-vices, FirstEnergy Solu-tions,MidAmericanEner-gy and AP Gas and Elec-tric, said Sukie Scheetz,director of the office ofmanagement and budgetfor the county.

That price will belocked in for three yearsstarting with meter read-ings in January of 2014.The cost is a decreasefrom previous years,which was about 4.70cents per kilowatt hour,

Scheetz said.Direct Energy is the

county’s current energysupplier. Although thecommissioners could re-quest new bids each year,there’s a fee, and Scheetzsaid ratesmight increase.

Choosing the three-year lock-in term meansthe county can set therates while they’re low,she added.

Commissioner BobProud said it will alsomake budgeting for ener-gy costs easier becausethe rates will be the samefor three years.

“It saves us time andenergy to have (the price)locked in,” CommissionerEd Humphrey said.

When the Milford HighSchool girls soccer team top-pled McAuley on Saturday,Sept. 28, by a 2-0 score, the vic-tory was doubly sweet for theEagles.

The win marked the 300th inthe history of the program,which got its start in 1978.

The Eagles have won eightconference championships andtwo district crowns in their his-tory.

Ninth-year head coach Pat-rick Winkler is the winningestcoach in program history andhas111of the 300victories to hiscredit.

“The 300th win for our pro-gram represents the heart, de-terminationandeffortthatallofour formerplayers and coacheshave put forth,”Winkler said.

“Behind each win along thewaywerededicatedplayersandcoaches working together toprovide a meaningful experi-ence while building a programrich in tradition andhistory. Forour present and future players,this is the task at hand, to con-tinue the success previousteamshavehadand toadd to thetradition, history, and successthat isMilford girls soccer.”

Milford’s water polo team reached its 300th victory in school history beating Princeton 10-9 Oct. 1.“Winning 300 games is a tremendous honor,” said Sarah Kleinfelter, head coach of the Eagles. “It goesto show how hard the girls have been working this season and the dedication this program has had overthe years. We still have a hard road ahead of us as we work towards a state title.”Milford’s currentrecord is 13-9-1 as they prepare for the state tournament. In their 24-year existence, they finished fourthin the state tournament in 2011 and are striving to reach or exceed that pinnacle. THANKS TO AL DUCKER

Somebody forgot to tellClermont Northeastern HighSchool junior ShellbyHoeppner this is a man’sworld.But theRockets know–as did the late Godfather ofSoul – that it don’t mean noth-in’ without a woman or a girl.

For the CNE boys golfteam, Shellby was that girl.

Shedidn’t takeup thegameuntil two weeks before herfreshman year of high school.Dad Brandon Hoeppnerwatched her swing, encour-aged her to play and becametheRocket coach to affordhera chance to learn the game.

“It’s definitely a goodthing,” Shellby said of playingfor her father. “He’s not onlyworking with me at practice,but he helps me at home. Heknows my game better thananyone.”

Brandon said he does andhe doesn’t.

“I’m not her swing coach. Idon’t give lessons. I’m moreabout helping her thinkaround the course. We try notto take golf home too much.We try to leave it on thecourse. For the most part wedo a pretty good job of that,”he said.

JustasShellbydoesmixingwith the boys.

“It’s pretty cool,” she said.“I’ve never had any problemplaying with them. Once youstep on the course, you’re oneof the guys. All thatmatters isif you can play.”

Which she can, as evi-denced by the fact Brandonsaid CNE senior Keifer Cun-ninghamandShellbywere theonly twoplayerswhosescoreshe used in every match thisseason.

Shellby delivered a com-petitivebest roundof 95 atCe-dar Trace. She competed inthe Division II girls sectionaltournament and posted around of100 even. Not enoughto advance, but close enoughto for her to picture a trip todistricts next season.

“My goal is to hopefullyshoot in the low 80s by the endof next year,” she said. “Thefact you can do it all the time,that you don’t need a team toplayandpractice, that’swhat Ilike about the game. Almostanybody can play and any-body can get pretty good ifthey work at it.”

Brandon knows girls atCNE will have to competewith boys for now, but hopesthat will change.

“Our ultimate goal is tobuild a female team at CNE,”he said. “I have anotherdaughter (Sadie) infifthgradewho plays. I know she has

MILFORD — Don’t look now,but Milford High School foot-ball matters again.

The Eagles went 3-2 in theirfirst five games, tripling their2012 win in just half a seasonwhile averaging more than 30points a game. At least some oftheresurgence lieson theshoul-ders of junior quarterbackDrew Ashcraft and junior run-ning back Jack Young.

Ashcraft earned Ohio Na-tional Guard player of theweekhonors for his 278 all-purposeyards and six touchdowns in atriple-overtime victory againstEdgewood in week two.

“Drew is a very proficientmanager of this offense,” Mil-ford head coach Shane Elkinsaid. “We’re trying to get him tomake even better decisions. Hedoes a great job, but Imean as acoach you’re never satisfied,right? He puts himself and histeam in a lot of good positions tobe successful.”

So doesYoung,WCPOplayerof the week for his three-touch-down rushing performance in a

week-four win over Woodward.“Jack, he just runs hard,” El-

kin said. “He makes good, hardcuts and he attacks the holes. Ilove the fact the vision we havefor this offense is starting tocome true. And love the fact wehave (Ashcraft and Young) for15more games at least. They’rehelping build something thatcan last.”

Together they make a formi-dable backfield. Young is third

in the Eastern Cincinnati Con-ference in rushing yards with568 through the first half of theseason. Ashcraft isn’t far be-hind, fifth in the ECC with 498.Ashcraft also has 692 passingyards, good for second in theleague.

“I think what makes them agood 1-2 punch is they have anoffensive line that has come along way from last year,” Elkinsaid. “They only lost one fromlast season, so they have someexperience, but if you wouldhave told me at the end of lastyear or even the beginning ofthis season, they’d have comeon like this, I wouldn’t have be-lieved you.

“Another big thing thatmakes our offense dangerous ishaving the leading receiver inthe league (BenGreenwell,whohad18 catches for 301yards andthree touchdowns in the firstfive games). Once teams widenout to defend those things hori-zontally, we create vertical run-ning lanes for them.”

Ashcraft and Young havebeen teammates since Milford

“It’snot justus.Therearea lot ofguyswecameup with. We hold eachother accountable.There’s nothing I’d rath-er do than play footballwith my teammates.”

Ashcraft agreed.“It’s a strong bond,”

he said. “I think it’s go-ing to be even strongernext year. The excite-ment for the Fridaynightlights, putting onthe pads and going outthere to hit somebody,that’s the best.”

The community hasstarted taking notice.

“You definitely no-tice at halftime if you’redown and the crowd isstill there,” Young said.“They believe we cancomebackandwin.Thatmeans a lot to us.”

Which isn’t to say theEagles have landed.

“We’vestillgota lot toprove,” Elkin said. “Wereally haven’t done any-thing yet. League play iswhat matters. All thoseother teams in ourleague have historyagainst us. Until weprove we can beat someof them, I look at us asthe bottom feeders.”

Put skin in the game for resultsRecently I attended an event

atMilacronwhich featuredGov. Kasich and I was pleasedthat bothMilacron representa-tives and the governor citedthemachinists apprenticeprogram betweenMilacronandUCClermont College asthe ideal collaborativemodelfor trainingmanufacturingprofessionals with job-readyskills.

“Skin in the game” is a termattributed toWarren Buffetwho once invested in one of hisown companies to indicate hisconfidence to outside inves-tors. If the company failed, hewould lose his personal in-vestment; if the venture wassuccessful, both he and hisinvestors would benefit. Bothhad “skin in the game.”

This same concept of allparties investing in a collab-orative workforce develop-ment activity is whatmakes

theMilacron-UCClermontprogramwork.

Milacronscreens qual-ified prospectsand hires themas temporaryemployeeswhomust en-roll in thetraining pro-gram funded

by their new employer. If theparticipants complete the pro-gram successfully they beginwork as fulltime employeeswith benefits.

UC Clermont has investedits instructors, facility andequipment purchasedwithsupport from a $250,000 Appa-lachian Regional Commissiongrant. The college had tomatchthe grant dollar for dollar toreceive the funding and prom-ised to train100 newmanu-

facturing employees duringthe next three years as part ofthe grant.

So, UC Clermont has in-vested cash, time and energy –their “skin in the game” – inorder tomeet the guidelines ofthe grant and to continue thispartnership withMilacron. Ifwe fail, we suffer the loss of apartner and penalties for thegrant.

The participantsmust in-vest 15 weeks of educationaltraining andmeet high stan-dards in these classes whichinclude computer aided draw-ing, safety, leanmanufacturingand others to become a bene-fited employee with a brightfuture atMilacron.

If they do not complete theprogram they lose an opportu-nity and all the benefits whichfollow.

To date, the “skin in thisgame” has proven successful

with 20 new employees joiningMilacron starting last year andanother10 slated to begin train-ing this fall.

What lessons can be learnedby this “Skin in the Game”model?

All partnersmust investresources, money and energyto gain a return on their in-vestment. ROImeans every-thing to an expanding companysuch asMilacron.Without atargeted program, theywilllose time andmoney due toemployee turnover.

Out of the 20 new trainedemployees hired byMilacron,14 continue as productive con-tributing employees. This com-pares very favorably withindustry norms thatmay see asuccess rate of two out of 10retained.

The collegemeets a percent-age of its training quota andcarries out its mission as a

regional college.The student employee gains

a professional position withopportunity for future growthand education.

Without any “Skin in theGame”Milacronmight see alower retention rate, the newemployeesmay not have themotivation to complete theprogram, and the college wouldnot have a fully equippedman-ufacturing center.

The state of Ohio needsmore collaborative partner-ships in which all parties invest“some skin” in order to gainlong lasting benefits.

Otherwise, wewill continueto get low return on our in-vestments andwewill notmeetour ambitious Ohio job growthtargets for our activities.

“I would feel more safe onthe Delta Queen, for if were tosink, at least you could swim to

shore. If I were to ride with thegovernment, I think we justkeep sinking and no way to besaved.”

still appears as a sound vessel,and I am certain all mainte-nance is up to par according tomaritime and Coast Guard reg-ulations. Yes, I would love totake a trip on this historic boat.”

erandatruespirit for thecityofCincinnati. The company thatowns the Queen has taken verygood care of it.

Ed Seurkamp

“I remember this same bat-tle being waged over 40 yearsago and several times in the in-terim. I have no idea why Con-gress cannot resolve this mat-ter once and for all.

“Iwould love theopportunityto take a lengthy cruise on theQueen, confident the crew iswell-trained and the boat isequipped with adequate safetygear.

“The whole issue in the pastwas the wooden hull of this ves-sel.With the locksystemson the

waterways and the radar/sonarand other modern navigationalaids, I very much doubt a fatalaccident could occur due to thehull's material alone.”

R.V.

“Asmuch as theDeltaQueenis part of Cincinnati tradition, Ipersonally would not want tospend time traveling on an oldwooden boat.

“While I like adventure, theDQ is way past its prime and itwas taken out of service forgoodreason, it isdangerous.Mr.Chabot is trying to make pointswith the old folks on the WestSide by endangering them.

NEXT QUESTIONHave your health-care planpremiums increased and termschanged significantly for 2014?Why do you think there was orwas not a significant change?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via e-mail. Send youranswers [email protected] withChatroom in the subject line.

As the original mother ofan adopted adult with whom Ihave been reunited for 17years, I am writing to encour-age your readership to sup-port Ohio Senate Bill 23 andOhio House Bill 61. These twoimportant pieces of legisla-tion will provide adoptedOhioans access to their origi-nal birth certificates (OBC).

It is unbelievable that,unlike many other states, ourgovernment actively preventsa group of its citizens fromaccessing basic informationabout themselves. But bydenying Ohioans adoptedbetween 1964 and 1996 accessto their OBC, our state gov-ernment denies these peoplethe right to fundamentalfacts, such as the date andplace of their birth and theidentity of their original(birth) parents.

Besides the basic right ofAll citizens to know suchinformation about them-selves, there is another com-pelling reason to supportthese bills.

Today,physiciansand medicalspecialistsincreasinglyrely on genet-ic informationand medicalhistory todiagnose andtreat manydiseases.Adoptees who

are denied access to theirOBC are prevented fromobtaining the medical historythat may save their lives andthe lives of their children.

SB 23 and HB 61will recti-fy this grievous wrong andmust be signed into law. Lastspring, the bills receivedoverwhelming support fromboth the House and Senate.

HB 61 passed the House96-1 and SB 23 passed theSenate Medicaid, Health andHuman Services Committee9-0. However, Ohio Senateleadership stalled on bringingthe legislation before the fullsenate for a vote.

Speaking for the vast ma-jority of birth parents, I askfor your help to pass thislegislation. We never asked tobe shielded from our children.

Archaic laws that sealedadoption records were im-posed on our children and onus. Our adult children de-serve their original birthcertificates and access tovital, personal informationonly we can give them.

Readers should contacttheir state senators (http://www.ohiosenate.gov/senate/index) and encourage them toactively support these billsthat will restore the rights offull citizenship to all of Ohio’sadopted adults.

Ask your senators to urgethe Senate president to bringit up for a vote. If they areallowed to vote, there is nodoubt that the Senate willpass the legislation and endthis obvious discriminationagainst our fellow citizens.

Susan Anthony is a resident ofMadeira.

Stop stalling on adoptee legislation

OCTOBER 9, 2013 • CJN-MMA • B3LIFE

The seasons on our littlepatch of heaven are marked bywhat’s going on outside in ourgardens and what my husband,Frank, is doing with our out-

side equipment.Right now he’s“salting thingsaway for thewinter,” mean-ing he’s servic-ing the tiller,tractor, boat andlawn mowers fora winter rest inthe garage.

Our bell pep-pers have finally

ripened, so I was able to addthem to an antipasto tray Imade for a friend’s rehearsaldinner.

Easy antipastoNeed a stunning and deli-

cious appetizer? An antipastotray fills the bill. It is not onlyappealing to the eye, butthere’s something on the trayfor everybody.

Go to your olive bar and asklots of questions. I went to theEastgate Jungle Jim’s olive barand was able to sample what-ever I wanted. This will help inchoosing the right ingredientsfor your budget and guests. Idid choose olives without pits.Since prosciutto is expensive, Ibought a few slices to garnishand folded them over on top ofthe antipasto. I also sprinkleda can of chickpeas on top. Thenice thing about this recipe isthat it can be assembled a dayahead. For the sauce, I useCaesar salad dressing withfresh herbs stirred in. I drizzlethe dressing on right before Iserve it.

My favorite two-waybrisket

Brisket is a cut of meatfrom the lower chest or breastof beef. It is amazingly flavor-

ful, but tough, so slow cookingis a must. Either way you cookthis – in the oven or in a slowcooker – the brisket turns outtender and so delicious. Servewith mashed potatoes or noo-dles.

3 pounds beef brisket2 cups chili sauce1 cup brown sugar, packed1 cup beef broth1 very large onion, sliced1⁄4 teaspoon ground cloves3 bay leavesSalt and pepper to taste

Oven: Preheat oven to 325degrees. Combine chili sauce,sugar and broth. Pour abouthalf of this in the bottom ofroasting pan. Place brisket onsauce, fat side up. Distributeonion, cloves and bay leavesover brisket. Pour rest ofsauce over. Cover and bake

50-55 minutes per pound oruntil meat is fork tender. Re-move brisket from pan andremove bay leaves and wholecloves. Cut brisket across thegrain. Skim off any fat fromtop of sauce. Pour sauce overbrisket (or put sauce in refrig-erator overnight and the fatwill congeal on top for easyremoval. Then reheat withbrisket in 375 degree oven,covered, or in microwave).

Slow cooker: I like to cookmine 9-12 hours or so on low,until meltingly tender.

Perfectly grilledsalmon/seafoodfollowing the 70/30 rule

Have the grill hot, lightlybrush both sides of fish withoil, and start grilling skin sideup with the grill closed. (Or

put a disposable pan over thefish). Leave it alone until about70 percent of the fish is doneon first side. You’ll know it bythe looks and also if it willrelease easily. This allows fishto form a nice crust. Turn itand finish cooking. The rule ofabout 7-10 minutes per inch ofthickness works, also. Startwith 7 minutes and go fromthere.

Readers want to know:Honing steels: “My honing/

knife steel doesn’t work any-more. Should I replace it?”Run your thumbnail aroundthe circumference of the tool.If you can still feel grooves,your steel is still useful. It ismagnetized to pick up micro-scopic fillings that come offthe knife’s blade. It’s a goodidea to rub the steel with a

cloth after use so groovesdon’t get clogged. Now unlessthe honer has diamond chips init, most steels won’t sharpen adull knife (they restore theknife’s bite by straighteningthe microscopic “teeth” at theedge that fold with use). Noweven if your honing steel is ingood condition, sometimes aknife doesn’t respond to hon-ing. If that happens, it’s time toget the knife sharpened pro-fessionally.

These days scammershave taken to the In-ternet to steal yourmon-ey with fake emails,fraudulent websites andmisleading sales offers.While Internet scams arenumerous, several con-sumers still report re-ceiving scams throughthemail.

A Fort Thomasmanwroteme about a creditcard offer he receivedfromAmTrade Interna-tional Bank. It offered

him a cred-it card with“A $3,600Visa creditlimit!Guaran-teed!”

Theman sentwhat wassupposedto have

been a refundable $900fee, but says he neverreceived the credit cardnor a pre-paid gas card

that was also promised.The 74-year-oldman sayshe’s on a fixed income sothe loss of all thatmoneyhit him pretty hard.

Although he paid bycheck and contacted theFederal Bureau of In-vestigation and the Fed-eral Trade Commission,he was told nothing couldbe done to recover hismoney. Such scams arevery popular so remem-ber never sendmoney tosomeonewho promises to

loan youmoney or extendcredit.

AHyde Parkwomanwroteme to say she knewimmediately the lettershe receivedwas a scam.It allegedly came fromPublishers ClearingHouse and used the com-pany’s real address. The$1.5million she was toldshe wonwas anything butreal. She knew not tobother calling the longdistance phone numbergiven to claim her win-

nings.AWyomingwoman

received a letter tellingher she qualified for anaward of two round-tripairline tickets. She sus-pected it was a scambecause there was noreturn address and theletter had bad punctua-tion. So she too was toldto call a phone number toclaim her prize, allegedlyvalued at nearly $1,400.

Better Business Bu-reau says this is just aphishing scam intendingto steal people’s personalinformation. This womannever entered a contestto receive this award oftwo free airline ticketsplus two nights amajorhotel.

Fortunately, just liketheHyde Parkwoman,theWyomingwomandidn’t call the numberand says she wants towarn others about thisscam.Many peopleacross the nation havereceived this letter.

One personwho calledwas told they first had toattend a timeshare salespresentation before they

could receive the ticketstheywon. Another personwho called was told theyhad to give their creditcard number over thephone.

One of themost fre-quent scams I’ve run intoinvolves criminals send-ing youwhat appears tobe a real check for thou-sands of dollars. You’resupposed to deposit thecheck, keep some of themoney, thenwire the restto the sender.

Unfortunately, manyconsumers learn too latethat the check they re-ceived in themail is pho-ny – and now they’re onthe hook to repay thebank for the goodmoneytheywired to the crimi-nals.

Bottom line, themailis still full of scams thesedays so you have to be-ware.

Howdy Folks,Now to make you

hungry, Tuesday fordinner we had greenbeans from a small bedof beans, taters, corn onthe cob, corn bread andwater. We grew every-thing but the corn bread.

I built a bed on theside of the garage that is8 feet long filled it withpotting soil which weraised the beans in. Youcan garden in a smallplace and raise food toeat and save money.

Next year I will builda bed along the side ofthe carpenter shop thatwill be 10 feet long, 2feet wide and 8 inchesdeep. We can raise beansin this bed and with itbeing sheltered keepsgrowing beans longer.

Wednesday morningwe attended the seniorservices meeting andthen went to rehab. Ihave two more sessionsas I write this article.With the rehab over wecan get work done here.

It seems that takessome time and dividesour day, so we don’t getsome work done here.This is the first year Ihave had the garden andour place looking bad.But with the Lord’s helpwe will get it shaped up.

Thursday we got to dosome work in the car-penter shop; that was thefirst time we really spentsome time there. Wehave five craft showscoming up.

Fridaywe attend-ed a funer-al visita-tion inGeorge-town for ayoungfeller thatthe Lordcalledhome. It

was a big visitation wesend our sympathy to thefamily.

Sunday after churchwe went to the chili res-taurant and had a five-way. Then we went toMr. Barkers and got ourweedeater that he hadrepaired for us.

I saw in the paper thatthe Hamilton Countyparks are allowing con-trolled deer harvest. Thedeer population is get-ting bigger each year.

The deer population iseating the trees, leaves,flowers, any green fo-liage to the point thefood supply will be gone.Each year the populationwill get bigger as somedeer will be having twinsor triplets.

The grazing area doesnot increase as the deerdo; something needs tobe done. Deer season forbow hunting started lastSaturday. Don’t knowhow the harvest went, asit gets colder it will pickup.

There was a crappietournament last Sundaythat the Boars Head BaitShop in Afton sponsored.

There were 17 boats andthe catch was good.

First place was 4 1/2pounds, second place 41/4 pounds, and thirdplace was 4 pounds.There was also a basstournament, with firstplace taking 9 pounds,second 7 pounds, andthird place 5 pounds. Thebass fishing has beengood all year.

Now is the time to goto the apple orchardsand get some good ap-ples. There is the A&MOrchard off Ohio 68between Fayetteville and

Westboro. They will haveseveral different kind ofapples, pumpkins andother items.

The Pringles Orchardoff Ohio 727 close toStonelick Lake StatePark will have somecider, apples and pump-kins along with otheritems.

There is an orchardbetween Bethel and Fe-licity that has severaldifferent kind of apples.Mr. Saner said he has agood crop of apples thisyear.

He said in about two

weeks he will have theStaymen Winesap whichis Ruth Ann’s favorite tomake pies and apple-sauce. So it sounds likewe will be having somegood pies around ourhouse.

The Rouster Orchardwill have cider and fro-zen blueberries by theend of October. They willhave the announcementon their website or ontheir sign.

The Grants Farmabove Owensville andalso their Garden Centerin Milford have pump-

kins, gourds, Indiancorn, mums and muchmore.

There are lots ofpumpkins for sale rightnow so take a drive andfind some.

Start your week bygoing to the house ofworship of your choiceand praise the GoodLord. God Bless All.More Later.
