MIAMI TWP. — Officials inMiami Township are hoping toreclaim neighborhoods withblighted or abandoned homesby participating in a programoffered by the Ohio AttorneyGeneral.
“The beauty of this pro-gram is Clermont County does95 percent of the work,” saidLarry Fronk, township admin-istrator.
The countywill prepare biddocuments, perform environ-mental assessments and man-age the demolition.
The townshipmust find theproperty owner and get themto sign off on its demolition,said Lou Ethridge, director ofcommunity development.
“The good news is there isno local match requirement,”Ethridge said.
Local match happens whenthecountyandother local enti-ties work together on a pro-ject.
The county often bears thebrunt of the cost, but requestsfunding from taxpayers inplaces such as Miami Town-ship if the project affects thatarea.
“To get down to it, the coun-tyhas$200,000 todistributebythe end of the year,” Ethridgesaid.
The program is first come,first serveand its fundingonlycan be used on residentialstructures, he said.
“We have one project onstateRoute131, thepaperwork
has already been done,” Eth-ridge said.
The Miami Market deliproperty featuresanoldhouseused by previous owners thatis not used anymore, said JoeBraun, the township’s law di-rector.
The property owner willstill retain ownership of theland when a structure is de-molished, Ethridge said.
Another property officialswould like to demolish is onDonnelly Drive.
The owner of that propertyis either in the hospital or hasother extenuating circum-stances that have made get-ting his consent difficult, Eth-ridge said.
“The biggest issue is get-ting the sign off,” he said.
Demolition should cost be-tween $4,000 to $10,000 perstructure, Ethridge said.
“There’s not that many(abandoned or blighted prop-erties), but there are somespot properties,” Fronk said.
“This is a case where oneproperty can help an entireneighborhood.”
Another property in theEp-worth Heights Subdivisionwas suggested as a good fit forthe program by the law direc-tor.
The property was severelydamaged in a fire severalyears ago, but the owner hassaid he doesn’t have enoughmoney to demolish it, Braunsaid.
“This (program) would beperfect (for that property),”he said.
This house located behind the Miami Market on state Route 131could be demolished through a program offered by the attorneygeneral. The market’s previous owners used the house to cook foodand bring it over to the deli, but the new owners have no use for it.KEITH BIERYGOLICK/THE COMMUNITY PRESS
MIAMI TWP. —For the secondtime in asmanymonths, theMi-ami Township Zoning Commis-sion delayed its decision aboutIrvine Wood Recovery’s pro-posed zone change.
“Each hearing we tend tolearn more and more. I think itis premature for us to even dis-cuss this tonight,” said KevinMalof, Zoning Commissionmember.
“Iwould recommendwecon-tinue this for yet anothermonthto give us an opportunity to re-view everything.”
Irvine Wood Recovery is awood grinding and mulchingbusiness on 110 Glendale Mil-ford Road.
Les Irvine, the company’spresident, recently boughtabout 8 acres of land where theLake Remington trailer parkused to be located.
About 1 acre of the propertyis zoned industrial, but theotheracreage is restricted formobilepark homes.
Irvine requested a zonechange to fully utilize the land,but has beenmet by vocal oppo-sition from residents.
Representatives from bothsides of the issue spoke to thecommission at a recentmeetingwhere extra chairs werebrought in to accommodate the
large, impassioned crowd.Lou Ethridge, the director of
community development, rec-ommended the commission ap-prove the zone change.
Bill Patterson, an attorneyrepresenting Irvine Wood Re-covery, said it would be logicalto approve the zone change.
“We believe that parcel issubject to ‘spot zoning,’ if youwill. Every other site on (stateRoute) 126 is industrial, every-thing from a heavy metal ma-terial dump site to the currentwood recycling,AirGas and theformer concrete crushing oper-ation,” Patterson said.
“Anything else doesn’t seemto be consistent with currentzoning.”
Tom Keating, an attorneyrepresenting a significant num-berof affected residents, statedtheresidentialnatureofthecur-rent zoning should not be ig-nored.
“We all have to agree therewere real life people there liv-ing there (in the trailer park).Maybe theywere down on theirluck, but they were living
there,” Keating said.Residents complained about
the noise and possibility of pol-luted air coming from the oper-ation.
Irvine addressed both.“There have been reports
that our operationwill double insize and bring in more grinders- that’s simply not the truth,” hesaid.
Irvine wants to move thecompany’s mulching operation,which currently abuts the biketrail, to his new property - notbuy more grinders.
Irvine also denied usingtreated lumber.
Hiscompanydoesdyemulchit makes, but that dye has nochemicals in it and is producedfrom “earth materials,” Irvinesaid.
Keating declared the Irvineoperation illegal, citing lan-guage regarding outside indus-trial operations in the town-ship’s zoning code.
“I think it is pretty clearfrom reading your zoning codethat outdoorgrinding is illegal,”he said.
Lasserre Bradley, a zoningcommissioner member, askedthe township’s law director tolook into Keating’s claims andprovide some clarity at the nextmeeting.
The case will ultimately beapprovedordeniedby townshiptrustees.

Company’s zoningrequest is up in airBy Keith [email protected] WHAT’S NEXT?
The next zoning commissionmeeting is scheduled for 7:30p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7, at theMiami Township Civic Center,6101Meijer Drive.
MILFORD — Encourag-ing business and keepinga close eye on the collec-tive city pocketbook.
That’s the answer youget when you ask the fourcandidates for three Mil-ford City Council seats toidentify the most impor-tant challenges facing thecity.
Incumbents Amy L.Brewer, Lisa Evans andLaurie Howland pluschallenger Lu Mays willsquare off in the Tuesday,Nov. 5, elections for four-year terms that begin inJanuary.
Not surprisingly,
Brewer, Evans and How-land believe the currentCity Council has a greatbatting average, whileMays thinks his additionto the team would hit itout of the park.
“The most importantissues facing Milford arebudget and economic de-velopment,” said How-land, who currently isvice mayor.
“Milford has facedsome major budget cutsover the last few yearsthat required some toughfiscal decisions.
“Council, with thegreat insight from citystaff, has been able tonavigate the budgetwhilepromoting growth as evi-dent by the vitality of lo-cal business markets aswell as the RiverwalkFlats project,” Howlandsaid.
Riverwalk Flats, cur-rently under constructionon a five-acre tract bor-dered by Water and Elmstreets along the LittleMiami River, will include78 luxury flats and 31 rowhouses. They are expect-ed to be available for rentby the spring of 2014.
Howland also said, “Ifeel that my experiencein dealingwith budgetaryconstraints during myfirst term will be benefi-cial to our continual
growth as a viable bed-room community in theGreater Cincinnati area.”
Incumbent Council-woman Brewer says Mil-ford is in anenviableposi-tion.
“Empty storefrontsare becoming a thing ofthe past,” Brewer said.
“We havemore restau-rants, shops and busi-nesses than we have everhad.
“With the riverfrontdevelopment near com-pletion we can only ex-pect things to get evenbetter,” Brewer said.
“While the city isaware of the cuts fromour local governmentfunds and estate tax, wehave been able to con-tinue to work within ourmeans to provide the ser-vices that our citizenshave come to expect.”
Incumbent Council-woman Evans said Mil-ford must continue tomaintain a balanced bud-get.
“I feel over the pasttwo years we, as council,havemadewise decisionsand planned ahead to deal
with many of the cutscoming from the state,”Evans said.
“Another issue in anycity is attracting and re-taining quality business-es. This is another area inwhich I feel the city hasexcelled over the pastyear.
“I have supported thecity’s business incentiveprogram which offersbusinesses in certainareas of the city a 50 per-centmatch of funds to im-prove signage, entry-ways, painting or otherefforts to improve the ap-pearance of the busi-ness,” Evans said.
Challenger Maysagrees attracting busi-ness is important to Mil-ford, although he looks atthe mechanics of how todo that a little differentlyfrom the incumbents.
“We must continue toattract all types of busi-nesses to fill our emptystorefronts,” Mays said.
“We have to under-stand that the wife usual-ly decides— based on liv-ing conditions – what’smost important to a fam-ily when they are decid-ing where they want towork and live.
“The second consider-ation then becomes thejob offered,” Mays said.
So far as his views onthe budget: “We mustkeep a strong but cost-ef-fective fire and police op-eration,” Mays said.
The top three vote-get-ters will join incumbentsGeoff Pittman (now may-or), Ed Brady, CharleneHinners and Jeff Lykinson City Council.
The new council willchoose a mayor and vicemayor in January.

BETHEL — Mike Salva-tore worked as a sheriff’ssergeant in Los AngelesCounty until he retired inAugust 2005.Hemoved toBethel with his wife, whogrew up in the village,shortly after.
Salvatore, a NationalRifle Association-certi-fied instructor, beganteaching advanced defen-sivepistol classes.Healsois certified to teach con-cealed-carry classes.
His first lesson:There’s more than oneway to reload a gun. And afew of them require onlyone arm.
That lesson took on anewmeaningwhen Salva-tore met Brian Anderson,who lost his right arm andleg in a 1994 train acci-dent.
Anderson,a41-year-oldMount Carmel residentwho works in commercialreal estate, recently ob-tained his concealed-car-ry permit through a classwith Salvatore.
Salvatore treated An-derson differently thenhe’s been treated manyothertimesinhis life -nor-mal.
“Brian came throughmy class and his expecta-tionsweren’t high,” Salva-tore said. “I didn’t treathim any different thananyone else and by theend, you could see a dra-matic improvement (inhis shooting).”
Anderson lost both hisright armand legwhile at-tending the University ofCincinnati 19 years ago.He and a group of friendswere riding a train whenhe fell in between thecars.
“The train ran overmyarm and leg,” Andersonsaid. “My arm (came) offat the shoulder andmy legis off about 6 inches abovemy knee.”
Anderson uses twoprosthetic limbs, and hisinability to wield a hand-gun with two hands al-
most kept him from get-ting his concealed-carrypermit.
“I had zero experience(handling a gun),” Ander-son said. “Not only was Ihesitant from not havingthe experience, but I alsohad a bit of a challenge(using one hand).”
Anderson visits a lot ofdifferent areas and apart-ments that aren’t locatedin the safest neighbor-hoods because he oper-ates a property manage-ment company.
He decided to get hisconcealed-carry licenseafter one recent incident.
“We had the policecalled at one of our prop-erties and they actuallyhad to bring the S.W.A.Tteam into a unit because aguy lockedhimself inwithhis girlfriend,” Andersonsaid. “Theyactuallyhadtotase the guy (with a stungun)andthat’sreallywhatsparkedit. It’soneofthosethings you never think
could happen, but it kindof opened my eyes.”
Salvatore summonedup his 30 years of law en-forcement experience tohelp Anderson arm him-self and succeed in theclass.
“In Los Angeles Coun-ty, we were trained to op-erate a handgunwith onlyone arm to simulate beingshot,” Salvatore said. “Ididn’t really see (helpingAnderson) as a big chal-lenge.”
Before the class, An-derson’s biggest concernwas safely loadingandun-loading his gun. Salvatoretaught Anderson a fewdifferent techniques andpretty soon he was shoot-ing better than the rest ofhis 10-person class.
“He toldme to stick therevolver barrel in mypocket with the chamberoutandIwasable to load itthat way,” Anderson said.“With a semi-automatic 9-mm pistol, he showed mehow to cock the chamberusing my belt and thenalso with the back of myboot.”
The techniquesweren’t difficult andposedAnderson fewprob-lems, Savatore said.
Most of his strugglescame from inside his ownhead.
“Getting his confi-dence up was the biggestobstacle,” Salvatore said.
But after Andersonsuccessfully passed theclass, he facedanotherob-stacle - getting a gun.
Salvatore recentlyopened Gunslingers Out-post in Bethel, but thatdidn’t necessarily make iteasier to get a gun.
After the Sandy HookElementary School shoot-ing inDecember, gun sup-plies became extremelyhardtocomeby,Salvatoresaid, because peoplewereafraid they would soonhave their access to gunstaken away.
Not only were suppliesscarce, but only one man-ufacturer in the UnitedStates made a fully-equipped, left-handedgun, he said.
Based in Connecticut,Charter Arms’ PresidentNickEckerpreviouslyde-veloped a special gun forhis left-handed daughterto shoot.
Salvatore sent an emailto Charter Arms, explain-ing Anderson’s situation,and asked how he couldbuy one. The very nextdayhegotacall fromEck-er, who offered to send a.38-caliber southpawhandgun free of charge.
“Mike had no inten-tions of them sending itfor free and donating it tome,” Anderson said. “Hejust wanted to get it in hisshop to sell.”
Mike Salvatore displays one of the about 50 guns he hasfor sale at the Gunslingers Outpost. Salvatore opened theBethel gun store April 20. KEITH BIERYGOLICK/THE COMMUNITY

Julianne Nesbit wasselectedas thenewhealthcommissioner for Cler-mont County in August2012 and officially beganher new role in April thisyear. She is replacingMartha “Marty” Lambertwho served as the countyhealth commissionersince Sept. 1, 2005.
Nesbit has worked inthe public health field for16 years. She has an un-dergraduatedegree in en-vironmental manage-ment fromBall State Uni-versity and received hermaster’s degree in publichealth from Wright StateUniversity. Nesbit joinedthe county in 2005 as theassistant health commis-sioner. Her responsibil-ities have included fiscalmanagement, personnel,communications, webmanagement and publichealth emergency pre-paredness.
During her career,Nesbit has helped thecounty achieve additionalgrant funding, assisted inguiding the regionthrough the H1N1 emer-gency, successfullylaunched the CAN pro-gram, conducted the Na-tional Public Health Per-formance Standards in2012 and greatly im-proved software systemsfor increased departmen-tal efficiency.
“I started out as a sani-tarian in Warren Countyand realized within thefirst few years that Iwanted a lifelong careerin public health. After ac-cepting the position as as-sistant health commis-sioner in Clermont Coun-ty, pursuing the positionas health commissioner
was a natu-ral pro-gression,”Nesbitsaid.
Nesbitencour-ages Cler-montCoun-ty resi-
dents to take an activerole in the decisions theymake regarding theirhealth. Thehealth districtis the lead agency forClermont CAN (Coalitionfor Activity and Nutri-tion) and the mission isteaching communitymembers to “Be Active,Eat Smart.”
Moved by Nesbit, thehealth district motivatescitizens to make smartdecisions regardinghealth behaviors includ-ing eating right, increas-ing physical activity andnot using tobacco prod-ucts. Clermont Countyhas many resources thatare easily accessible forbecoming and stayinghealthy, including 65
places throughout thecounty for no-cost or low-cost physical activity.
“It can be tough to eathealthy with busy sched-ules. At the health dis-trict, we encourage peo-ple to make healthy foodchoices as much as possi-ble, to be aware of portionsizes and know what ishealthy,” saidNesbit. “It’sOK to splurge occasional-ly, too, we are all human,we just need to find smallways to incorporate goodchanges in our lives andtogetherbecomeahealth-ier community.”
Nesbit said she is mostexcited about the healthdistrict’s progress to-wards accreditation. Theaccreditation processstarted in 2010with aCon-tinuous Quality Improve-ment grant and her staffhas reached the neces-sary incremental stepstowards completing eachtask for compliance. Thestate budget bill recentlysigned by the governormakes national voluntary
accreditation mandatoryfor all Ohio public healthagencies.
“It is a lot of work toearn accreditation, fortu-nately we have devotedstaff that are dedicated inmoving the process for-ward,” said Nesbit.“These are very excitingtimes for us; we haveadopted a slow but steady
approach that will haveus ready to apply wellahead of the mandateddeadline.”
Nesbit is looking for-ward to navigating thecounty through the pre-sent-day challenges ofpublic health reform andexpanding communityhealth needs. She be-lieves the greatest chal-
lenge ahead of her is thedirection of publichealth’s future that is al-ready confronting allpublic health agencies.Nesbit sees public healthrapidly evolving and be-coming increasingly dif-ficult to provide the nec-essary programs thatprotect the public’shealth.

SEVERN/FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS
MILFORD— Plans change.MilfordHigh School senior
golfer Aly Severns knowsfrom experience.
Severns grew up playingsoccer. She intended to con-tinue on the pitch in highschool - training with the Mil-ford team over the summerprior to her freshman year –before she ever picked up agolf club.
But when she did, she washooked. She dropped soccerandwent out for the golf teamthat fall instead.
“Therewere a lot of factorsthatwent into it,” Severns saidof the decision to switch out ofsoccer. “Golf is a life-longsport. I knew I couldn’t playsoccer forever.Therewasalsoa better possibility for a schol-arship, which was important.”
Plans changed and successfollowed.
Severns – the lone senior ona team that finished a perfect17-0 in dual matches this sea-son – became a leader on andoff the course.
“What I always try to getacross to thegirls is howmuchyou have to work at it,” Sev-ernssaid. “Asa team,eachandeveryoneofusput in the time.You always want to set a goodexample for the other girlsand I think I did that.”
Milford head coach SandyGarrison thought so, too.
“Nobody on this teamworks harder than Aly does,”Garrison said earlier this sea-son. “Thegirls seeher successand they know it doesn’t justhappen. They see how muchshe’s put into improving hergame. They can see for them-selves the results and want tofollow suit.”
Part of the work resultedfrom a shoulder injury in thespring that kept her awayfrom the course. She workedwith Coldstream CountryClub professional Ken Kaiserover the summer and fall tohelp get her swing back inshape. She also tweaked hermental approach.
“This is the first year Ididn’t go out with a number inmind,” Severns said. “Thatreallyhelpedme. If Ihadabadhole, I put it behindme. I’m al-ways so hard onmyself.Whenyou’realways thinkingabouta
score or a shot or a hole thatdidn’t go well, you’re notthinking about the next shot,which is the only one thatmat-ters. Being in the momentmakes you a better golfer.”
The effort paid off as Sev-erns qualified for theDivisionI district tournament, as didjunior teammate MeganCreager, anotherKaiser pupil.
“It was disappointing not togo as a team, but going withMegan is great,” Severns said.“We have a support systemwith each other. I’ve alwayswanted toqualify fordistricts,so doing that as a senior isnice.
“(District tournament siteWeatherwax) is a toughcourse.Youhave toplaysmartand you have to stay out oftrouble. Play smart, be posi-tive and have fun.”
She is committed to playgolf atTusculumUniversity inTennessee,where shehopes tostudy business or finance.

GOSHEN TWP. — The giant,road-grading lineman.The fire-breathing linebacker. The un-dersized defensive back.
One of these things is notlike the others and the reasonmay be a surprise. Because it’sGoshen High School seniorNoah Knuckles, a 155-poundcorner, who leads the Warriorsvarsity football team in tacklesso far this season.
“I tackled well last year andI take pride in that,” he said. “Ijust want to continue makingplays. It’s all about having anose for the ball and coming upto make a play. It’s a simplegame.”
Simple with plenty of effortthrown in. Knuckles studiesgame film on his phone in hisfree time to help understandopponents’ tendencies.
“The thing I admire aboutNoah is, he’s not a gifted ath-lete,” Goshen head coach MarkSlagle said. “Everything he’sbecome he’s done through hardwork. He’s not real big, but heworks incredibly hard to playbig.”
Knuckles doesn’t view it aswork.
“It’s really just fun to me,”he said. “It’s what I love. It’swhat my friends love. (Foot-
ball) is what we talk about allday. How practice went. Whatwe’re doing today. The nextgame. It’s what brings us all to-gether.”
Knuckles began playingfootball as a peewee, butstopped after third grade. Hecame back to the game as aneighth grader and has loved itever since.
His favorite memory on thefield came inagame last seasonagainst Ross. The Warriorstrailed 20-0 heading into thefourth quarter, but came backto win. Part of the reason was athird-and-long pass Knucklesbroke up that forced a Rosspunt that eventually led to the
winning score.“There have been games
where somebody has that onestud receiver they movearound to the outside, the puthim in the slot, they try to gethim the ball and pick on yourweakness,” Slagle said. “Iknow. I’ve done it myself.
“But with Noah, we knowhe’s going to shut him downmore often than not. It’s hugefor us to have that.”
Knuckles hopes to playsomewhere in college next sea-son.Hewants tobeadrugcoun-selor and help people rehabili-tate themselves and fight ad-diction.
“I’d love to play and keepplaying,” he said. “That’s mydream. I love going to practiceand having a little discipline inmy life. That’s good for you.And I want to help people havesome discipline and get awayfrom drugs.”
Slagle said the dream couldbe a reality.
“There are DIII schoolswhere he could play,” Slaglesaid. “That’s what DIII schoolsare for, where a 5-foot-10 line-man can start. It’s a greatchance for him to get an educa-tion and follow his dream.
“He’s a good person. Hewants to spend his life helpingothers. You have to admirethat.”

There are a lot of dumb,selfish people in our countryand I believe most are in Con-gress. They pass laws thatthey do not have to live by, butwe the people are stuck with.
It is hard for me to un-derstand our leadership andwhy they take that course.
On the other hand we havea lot of smart people as trust-ees in our community thatthink about doing things forus, but there is more to theirjobs than police, fire andEMS.
Those three entities areprimary needs of the people,but it takes more than that tobuild a community as PeteVezey believes.
It was of interest to seePete Vezey as a write-in can-didate and approaching hisgoals differently than theother candidates. “Listeningto the residents and do theirbidding as best as possible.That is precisely what I planto do for our community.”
I am sure the others willfollow Vezey’s thoughts inhope to become elected.
In my experience withPete, his way of thinking,originality and way of doingthings is different and re-freshing.
Take your pen and write inyour vote for Pete Vezey.

Milford’s B grade shouldalarm parents who have beentold for several years ourdistrict is Excellent.
A deep dive into the read-ing and math scores tell thetrue story, where only 51 per-cent of third-graders are ad-vanced readers and 27 per-cent are advanced in math, adrop over last year and farbelow other tier 1 districtswhere advanced readers top80 percent.
Parents flock to Milfordfrom outlying districts likeGoshen, Batavia, West Cler-mont, but not from high-per-forming districts like Madei-ra, Sycamore, Mason, or evenLoveland. We now know why.
My goal is to raise the barand increase academicachievement, moving from aB to an A.
One doesn’t have to look
far to see thevalue a topranked “A”district likeWyoming,Sycamore,Madeira, Ma-riemont deliv-ers to homeowners. Asimilar houseto mine dou-
bles in value within the Syca-more District.
Milford school leadersshould do more to increasetest scores and home valueswill follow. Higher achieve-ment results in higher homevalues.
Best way to deliver higheracademic achievement, result-ing in higher SAT/ACT scores,is to increase the number ofstudents who are advancedreaders.
Milford must find ways todramatically improve aca-demic performance. Severalways are to reduce class size,increase benchmarks andchange our culture to one withhigh expectations, high per-formance and high achieve-ment.
A change in culture is over-due at Milford as many stu-dents don’t get reading in-tervention because they are atbenchmark or slightly above.With the benchmarks being atnational minimum standardswe are already at a disad-vantage.
Intense intervention hasproven to deliver outstandingresults and should be em-bedded in our culture.
Raising the expectationsfor both students and parentswill facilitate better collabora-tion resulting in higher per-
forming students.High-performing schools
will have a waiting list ofparent volunteers, eager totutor, mentor students.
Class sizes must be re-duced throughout the district.An assessment of 2008 Ohiodistricts showed the top 10districts having 16 percentless in each class than Milfordand local “A” grade schoolshave 14 percent less in eachclass, on average.
With smaller classes, teach-ers will have more time toindividualize their instruction,innovate classroom activitiesand suppress disruptionsmore quickly. Class size re-duction is a key element toraising achievement.

Class size reduction is key
Don LykinsCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST
Last week’s questionHave your health-care plan
premiums increased and termschanged significantly for 2014?Why do you think there was orwas not a significant change?
“My health care premiumshave not changed significantlyfor 2014 because I’m luckyenough to have coverage onmy wife’s plan. However, asPresident Obama promised, aslong ago as 2007, if you likeyour present coverage youdon’t have to change anythingunder theAffordableCareAct.This is so simple that it has lo-botomized the right-wing rac-ists.”
TRog
“After years of double digitrate increases, our insuranceis not increasing in 2014 norare there anymajor changes incoverage.”
D.A.
“Part B of my Medicare(handled by private insurer)went up slightly. However, be-foreMedicare I was on privateinsurance out of my own pock-et. In the last 10 years it man-aged to increase by 7 to 10 per-cent per year with no addition-al benefits, which were verylimited.
“If I had gotten my cancerand subsequent surgery be-fore Medicare kicked in Iwould probably be fighting offbankruptcy right now. Thelousy insurance for exorbitantprice would not have coveredhalf of the huge bills that wereincurred.
“I just wish that Obamacare(ACA) was available sooner.From what I can tell for thesame price I had been layingout for10 years I could have af-forded a much more compre-hensive policy and slept betterat night.”
J.Z.
“Yes, my premiums are ex-pected to go up about 7 per-cent. I think medical costs areout of control in this country.
“The one good thing to hap-pen for the American people isthe Affordable Health CareAct. As a single mother of twochildren ages 22 and 20 it iswonderful that they are cov-ered under my plan. I don’tknowhowanyone can afford tonot have insurance in today’s
world, so finding ways to helpeveryone get covered is a stepin the right direction.
“I know far toomany peoplewho have had to go without in-surance because it wasn’t of-fered at their place of employ-ment, so their option often wasthe ER, which is a significantcost difference from regularmedical care by a family phy-sician. It isn’t a perfect solu-tion, but it is progress.
“Another big step will be tofind ways to bring hospitalcosts back to a reasonable lev-el. I think it is comingand is ab-solutely necessary. When youcompare what Americans payfor certain procedures to simi-lar quality in other countries itis an abomination.
D.P.
“Health insurance is proba-bly onlygoing tobeaffectedbyall the normal things that af-fect health insurance premi-ums, like the fact that healthcare costs are rising.
“I am lucky to have healthcare throughmy employer andyes my costs have gone up, notbecause of Obamacare. Healthcare costs have risen everyyear for the last six years,though they’re not rising asfast now as they were severalyearsago, they’re still goingup4 percent or more a year.
“So, generally speaking, foreverybody, health insurancepremiums are going to con-tinue to rise. For people buyingcoverage through the ex-changes – or as they’re official-ly called, the marketplaces –the premiums are going to bedifferent from premiumsavailable on plans previously,because the plans are differ-ent.
“New plans are coming intothe market. They have new re-quirements on them aboutwhat they have to cover.
“We now know that no pre-existing condition restrictionsare going to be held againstanybody. That’s going to affectthe price.
“And we also know thatthings like nomore annual lim-its on what health care insur-ancepayouts canbehave comeinto effect, no lifetime limits.
“So, in essence, the cover-age is different fromwhat wasavailablepreviously forpeoplebuying coverage in the individ-ual market.
“And the prices are going tovary exchange by exchange,depending on howmany insur-ers bid to participate in theprogram and how heavy a bar-gain states drove with thehealth insurers who are com-ing into the marketplace.
“So you’re seeing a lot ofvariation in rates around thecountry. That said, it’s also fairto say though that, in general,the rates are lower than manypeople expected they wouldbe.”
K.F.S.
“My health care premiumsdo not exist. I spent over a halfmillion dollars on health insur-anceover twodecadesbecauseof medical conditions in myfamily. Now I do not haveenough money to qualify forthe part of the law which re-quires one to purchase healthcare.
“I intend to see what I doqualify for, once the govern-ment shutdown is over.Most ofthat money went to enrich oneinsurance company. A bigchunk of it went to routinecheckups to confirm, that yes,my familymembers had incur-able conditions, and no, theirconditions weren’t gettingworse.
“I was always charged sub-stantially more than peoplewith better insurance policies,but I was unable to switch tothose policies because of thepre-existing conditions. Icouldn’t even get a job with anemployer with a good policy,because I would have had topay for two policies at once toensure constant coverage, andI was never in a position to af-ford that.
“The Affordable HealthCare Act came too late for me.I will never vote for a Repub-lican as long as they don’t haveany positive suggestions that
actually improve the fairnessof health care in the UnitedStates.
“George McGovern had itright. Republicans never buildanything. They serve a usefulpurpose of demolishing thingswhich have got out of hand.
“At this point, they’ve donetheir job, and it is a good thingthat they are starting to demol-ish themselves.”
N.F.
“Our health care premiumsincreased almost 18 percentfrom $1,700 to $2,000 for ahealthy family of three with a$5,000 deductible. The compa-ny stated that our benefitswould remainunchanged sincewe were grandfathered aslong-term insured.
“Health insurance will con-tinue to skyrocket due to themany INTENDED conse-quences of Obamacare. It isjust another one of his wealthre-distribution schemeswherethosewho can afford to pay forinsurance will pay a LOT for itand thosewhocan’twill be sub-sidized.
“We saw our friends in Con-gress scream bloody murderwhen they were told that theywould be on Obamacare, soPresident Fairness quicklygave them a 72 percent subsi-dy.
I have been self employedand paying for my own healthinsurance for 23 years. I won’tholdmybreath formy subsidy.
“This scheme will collapsesince it mandates insuring ofpre-existing conditions and de-pends on the young andhealthy to buy in at excessiverates. They will not partici-pate, but will pay the small($100) tax penalty until it ex-ceeds the insurance.
“When no health insurancecompanies are left Obama’s ul-timate goal of single-payergovernmenthealth carewill berealized.”
D.J.H.
“Mine has changed verymuch for 2014, andwouldprob-ably get worst for 2015 and be-yond.
“Can I blame Obamacare?Most probably. This govern-ment health care plan is push-ing not only employers overthe brim, but medical insur-ance companies as well.”

UNION TWP. — You could saypatientsareflockingtoanewre-hab center in the city.
But you’d be a little off.That’s because the birds of
prey being treated at RAPTOR(the Regional Association forthe Protection andTreatment ofRaptors) Inc. inUnionTownshiparen’t flying there of their ownwinged accord.
The hawks, owls, eagles andfalcons are injured and con-cerned people are bringingthem to the non-profit’s facilityat 961Barg Salt Run Road.
RAPTOR Inc. moved to itsUnion Township location –which it bought in 2005 – next tothe Cincinnati Nature Center at949 Tealtown Road about a yearago.
Before that it operated onCovered Bridge Road near theWinton Woods Park in Green-hills.
“We are trying to get theword out so people knowwho tocall when they find these in-jured birds and how we can bereached to provide outreacheducational programs,” saidCindyAlverson of Loveland, ex-ecutive director of RAPTORInc.
The group has been treatingand releasing birds of prey inthe Greater Cincinnati area for35 years.
Some of the birds were hurtflying into windows. Otherswere entangled in fishing lines.
“People who find injuredbirds of prey contact us and we
areable to treat thesebirdswiththe help of veterinarians,” Al-verson said.
“In 2013 we have already ad-mitted over 200 injured birds ofprey.
“On average RAPTOR ad-mits 200 injured birds of preyannually,” Alverson said.
Alverson said RAPTOR Inc.releases more than half thebirds it treats.
Which brings us to the sec-ond mission of RAPTOR Inc.:community education.
That’s when some raptorsthat cannot be released get into
the act.“If the raptors are unable to
be returned to the wild theysometimes can be used for edu-cation ambassadors,” Alversonsaid.
“We have 10 at our facilityand often we transfer non-re-leasable birds to other facilitieswho have need of birds to beused in educational programs.”
Alverson said RAPTOR Inc.moved to Union Township be-cause it needed to expand.
“We needed space for reha-bilitation where volunteerscouldcomeandwork,”Alversonsaid.
“RAPTOR Inc. always had agoal to have a facility with ahuge flight cage so wewould beable to provide flight condition-
ing for the species of birds suchas peregrines and eagles, whichneed large cages to condition inbefore release.”
RAPTORInc. issupportedbymembership fees, grants andcontributions for educationalpresentations.
“We are always looking fordonations or sponsorships tohelp support our rehabilitationefforts,” Alverson said.
“With additional funds weplan to develop an educationalcenter open to the public wherethey can come and view thebirds up close.
“This work is important sopeople can learn about thesebirdsandtheirpart intheirenvi-ronment,” Alverson said.
“Once they have this under-
standing they are more protec-tiveabout thesebirdsand(inter-ested in) how they can help.”
For more information aboutRAPTOR Inc. call 825-3325 orvisit www.raptorinc.org.
CoryWright, assistant UnionTownship administrator, saidRAPTOR Inc. is a much-appre-ciatedmember of the communi-ty.
“They have successfully re-habilitated many animals andtheyarecertainlyawelcomead-dition to the community - frombothawildlifeconservationper-spectiveaswell asaneducation-al perspective,” Wright said.

OCTOBER 16, 2013 • CJN-MMA • B3LIFE
Today we started ourfirst fire in the woodstove for the season. Butit was a little weird, too,because when I lookedout the window, the impa-
et fence. The weatherhad turned quite chillyand it really was a per-fect morning to have anice, aromatic fire. If youask most folks, they willtell you fall is their favor-ite time of year. I guessit’s because the outsidework is winding downand so are we. Andthere’s nothing quite sobeautiful as a mosaic ofreds, browns and yellowsas the leaves carpet ourold country road.
Hotel Sinton’sspring pea salad
I was glad to get somany responses to JanB.’s request for the HotelSinton pea salad. As al-ways, thanks, thanks,thanks! The recipe fromJuliane B., a Coleraintownship reader, wasexactly like the one origi-nally published by CheriBrinkman in her firstbook of the best-sellingseries: “Cincinnati andSoup.”
Now that I’ve seen therecipe, I know I’ve eatenit and liked the salad a
lot. Juliane said she’smade it several timesand people love it. Cheritold me: “This is a rareone as it is a salad dress-ing, not a true pea salad.It came from an olderlady I knew who actuallylearned to cook in thekitchen of the old HotelSinton. What is interest-ing in this is the amountof mayonnaise in thesalad; this may be less-ened by the cook if theychoose. The most impor-tant thing to stress hereis that it should be servedby tablespoon over
chopped lettuce not as asolo salad – that was notwhat they did in “thegood old days.” Bestmade ahead. FYI Cherijust published her latest,and best-selling, book“Cincinnati and Soup:Festivals and Frolics.”
2 (16 oz.) bags frozen greenpeas
6 green onions, chopped2 stalks of celery choppedfine
3 cups mayonnaise (more orless)
4 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
Mix peas, onions and
celery. Mix in 2 cupsmayonnaise. Put in a9-inch by 13-inch dishand top with 1 cup may-onnaise. Garnish with thehard-boiled eggs. Serve.May be served overchopped lettuce.
Easy caramel applesThe hardest part of
this recipe is opening allthe caramels. I dippedthe apples only halfwayup and then rolled theminto finely chopped salt-ed nuts.
1 (14 oz.) bag vanilla
caramels, unwrapped2 tablespoons water orwhipping cream
Apples (I had small onesfrom our tree so hadenough caramel coatingfor 10.)
Sucker sticks or woodencraft sticks
Toppings: chopped nuts,cookies, mini M&M’s,crushed pretzels, etc.
Remove stem andwash and dry apples.Insert sticks. Set aside.Melt caramels with wa-ter over low heat. Dipapples in halfway or all
the way if you want(you’ll get a smalleryield). Immediately rollbottoms in your choice oftoppings. Set on sprayedpan to dry.
Can you help?Manyet Bakery’s
cheesecake: I don’t wantto disappoint Pat Barth,who asked again if any ofyou have the recipe or asimilar one from thisbeloved Newport Bakery.This is the bakery thatmade the famous radiorolls and for which Ifound a similar recipethat I still promise topost on my blog.
Frisch’s ranch dress-ing: I’ve had a couplerequests for this, so ifyou have a similar reci-pe, please share.
Stay tuned!Knife skills video.
Last week I shared in-formation on honingsteels. At the end of thismonth, Robert Hess, anexpert on cutlery, will bea guest on my cable show“Love starts in the kitch-en” on Union TownshipTV. The show will air inNovember onWarnerCable 8 and 15, so tune in.

Howdy Folks,I have been writing
about the different or-chards around our area.The Shaws Farm andProduce is on Ohio 131east of Milford belowWilliams Corner. Theyhave several kinds ofproduce. They have hayrides, corn mazes to en-joy, straw bales, pump-kins, gourds andmuchmore.
These folks have beenin the business for sever-al years and are goodfarmers. They know theirbusiness. They will meetyou with a big smile andhello. The kids will be sohappy with the things forthem to be involved.
There will also besome items for the chil-dren to take home fromthe Shaw Farms. Stop andshop to learn how thefarmers raise their itemsfor sale. Their telephonenumber is 575-2022 theyare open at 9 a.m.
Friday evening theBethel homecoming pa-rade started at 6 p.m. itwas a beautiful parade,bigger than last year. Theladies for the schoolqueen candidates wereall so beautiful.
I don’t know who wasselected as I write this.But whoever wascrowned queen and kingwere very deserving andgood students. Congrat-ulations to each of them.
Saturday morningRuth Ann and I went toBob Evan’s for breakfastwith a group from ourchurch. Then went to(Boston) Owensville tothe Pumpkin Run. I havenever seen so many old
place, there were ven-dors selling all kinds ofitems in the commercialbuilding, the 4-H buildingand on the grounds. Thisis the biggest event in thecounty.
The job of getting thecars registered is a big,big job and they are to becongratulated for the job.The Lions Club is respon-sible for the food anddrinks and what a job thisis.
Ruth Ann and I un-derstand how it is to getthe food ordered since wewere involved in theGrassy Run for theMon-roe Grange. Someone hasburned the midnight oilas they say to get this alltogether.
I have one more day inrehab. We have driven
720 miles and spent 108hours there. It has helpedme and I thank the ladiesthat work for the excel-lent work they do.
There are severalfolks that go regular to dothe exercise and keep inshape. We have so muchwork here to do that I canget plenty of exercise.
Sunday we had thehomecoming at the oldchurch here at East Fork.There were over 50 peo-ple there and some new-comers. The music wasfurnished by the KinnerExpress.
We had the honor ofhaving Rick Crawford togive some history of ourcounty. The folks alwayslike to hear him tell thesefacts. Thanks Rick andthanks to the KinnerExpress they are so good.John Hale favored uswith two songs whichwere great as always,thanks to you John.
After the homecomingwe went to our daughterDebby’s and Bob’s housefor a special third birth-day for our great-grand-daughter; then birthdayand anniversary get-together for supper forseveral of our family.
It seems as the familygets bigger andmoreinvolved with school andwork it is harder to gettogether, so we celebrateseveral at the same time.
The farmers havestarted harvesting theirsoybeans. I have heard ofyields of 40-60 bushel peracre – that is good. Whenwe were farming a yieldper acre was 30 bushel.Now of course the seed,fertilizer, and fuel, didn’tcost as much as it doestoday. They have to havebig yields to make a prof-it.
I picked the last greenbeans last Monday in abed along side of the
garage and picked anoth-er zucchini. We havegreen onions ready to eat.These were the last onionsets Dannie Grant had.There were a bunch ofdry ones; we got enoughto set a bed eight feetlong. We like the lategreen onions.
Remember the firstpancake breakfast theLions Club has will beSaturday, Oct. 19, from7:30 till 10:30 a.m. at theBethel-Tate High School.
We went to LakeWay-noka for a craft show onOct. 12, then Oct. 19 wewill be going to St. Ger-trude in Madeira.
For those of you who
have been saving usedbatteries for theMonroeGrange we won’t be do-ing this any more as thecompany has stoppedtaking them and givingthe handicapped schoolmoney for them. Thankyou for all you have do-nated.
Start your week bygoing to the house ofworship of your choiceand praise the Good Lord.God Bless All. More Lat-er.
