An unprecedented numberof families this year are part theInter Parish Ministry’s annualAdopt-a-Family for Christmasprogram.

All 375 families from easternHamilton County and ClermontCounty have been adopted, rep-resenting more than 1,500 indi-viduals, IPM service coordina-tor Sarah Cadle said.

The families are adopted bymembers of the community andorganizations who anonymous-ly provide Christmas for them,development director Gail Ko-ford said.

Our Lord Christ the KingCatholic Church in Mount Look-out adopted 300 individuals, Ca-dle said. They are the biggestdonor. The family adoptionprocess starts in October withgroups/organizations and resi-dents adopting one or morefamilies.

The IPM adopt-a-family pro-gram is just a small part of whatChrist the King Church doesover the holiday season. Thereare two aspects, parishionerDennie Patton, Mount Lookout,said.

There is the giving treewhere the ornaments for theIPM adopt-a-family gift re-quests are placed along withgift requests for children atChildren’s Hospital.

The other aspect is thechurch’s own adopt-a-familyprogram which serves about 50families from the east end, shesaid.

The parishioners at Christthe King, as a general rule, arevery blessed, Patton said. Thecongregation is small to medi-um in size. About 500 peopletake ornaments off of the treeand/or adopt families or donatemoney.

“We’ve been given a lot andour parishioners know that andthe holiday, it’s such a wonder-

ful time to help others and giveback,” she said. “And there are alot of people in our area who arein need.”

Because IPM serves familieson this side of Cincinnati, it’s agood match for the church, Pat-ton said. And there is a lot ofneed in the community aroundthe church found especially inthe east end.

“They are our neighbors,”Patton said.

Last year, Cadle said 340families were adopted forChristmas through the IPM pro-gram. The increase in numbersisn’t a surprise to her.

“I’ve been doing this for 15years and the program was go-ing on when I started,” Cadlesaid. “Obviously it’s grown byleaps and bounds, especiallywhen the economy tanked. Thenumbers then doubled and nev-er really went down.”

Harald Zieger is passionate aboutfreedom. The roots of his passion rundeep in his life story shared in hisbook “Freedom’s Nightmare” re-leased in late October.

Zieger was raised in East Germa-ny, behind the Iron Curtain; fullyCommunist and a card-carryingmember of the Communist Party.

His father wasAmerican-born withAustrian roots, butmoved back to Aus-tria in 1934 and wasdrafted into Hitler’sarmy in 1940.

This was not Zieg-er’s choice, but rath-er the circum-stances of a life cho-sen by his ancestors.

Following his beliefs and the com-munist path set for him, Zieger was agraduated engineer serving at a Na-vy base.

Somehow he came face-to-facewith the Word of God, publicly de-clared his Christian faith and was ex-pelled. The Milford man came to theUnited States from Austria in 2005 tofind the freedom America promisedin stories he heard and read.

“I soon realized the America Iknew from books I read about it wasnot the America I experienced,” Zieg-er said, explaining how he came toshare and write his personal story.

He founded a business here, trav-eled nearly 2,000 miles weekly visit-ing customers across the Midwest,but discovered a different Americathan he expected. The America de-scribed in those books he read wasnot here. Zieger wondered where itwas.

“It was gone,” he said. “It wasstrangled by regulations and rulesfrom a government which I consid-

ered not the government the foun-ders of the United States had in mindwhen they founded this country.”

A strong statement from a Germanimmigrant settling in the U.S.; wherehis father was originally born, hisgrandfather died in 1986, and manyaunts, uncles and cousins returned inthe ’80s.

Zieger does not speak softly aboutwhat “our” founding fathers envi-sioned for our country.

It is his speaking, publicly, pas-sionately and frequently which firstbrought suggestions he write a book.First, he studied another book.

“When I arrived, I bought a book,”Zieger said. “It is the Constitution ofthe United States and some of theFederalist Papers. I studied your con-stitution, I really studied it.”

Zieger became concerned in 2006as he listened to news and talk about arevised and reformed version of theUSA Patriot Act first passed follow-ing Sept. 11.

He advised everyone to tell theirrepresentatives to vote no on it. Heknew this was about losing basic indi-vidual rights to privacy as clearly de-fined in the U.S. Constitution.

“The reason I was so against it wasmy experience with the East GermanSTASI (State Security Police),” Zieg-er said. “It came to a point whereChristians were arrested for readingthe Bible out loud in a public place.Students were expelled for saying aprayer, even a silent prayer in schoolhallways.”

It is the same as the indoctrinationand communism he experienced inGermany. Zieger was seeing this inAmerica.

His concerns grew. He told his sto-ry at church; word of his storyspread.

Late in 2008, he was asked to speakabout his experience with the Heri-

might now have jobs butare no longer making aliving wage, she said.

“We see a lot of peoplewho this is the only ser-vice they use that we of-fer,” Cadle said. “Theycome in because theyknow it’s going to be tight

and this is that little bit ex-tra that helps.”

While the programhelps to supplement anotherwise meager Christ-mas for some families, itrepresents the onlysource of Christmas giftsfor others, she said.

Each family lists itemsthey need or want forChristmas for their chil-dren and themselves, Ko-ford said. Many times thegifts that they ask for areeveryday items most peo-ple take for granted liketowels, laundry soap, alaundry basket or a warmblanket, she said.

IPM is seeing an in-crease in the number ofsenior citizens in theadopt-a-family program,Cadle said. Many now findthemselves having custo-

dy of their grandchildrenand are struggling to pro-vide food and clothes forthem. The gift lists forsenior citizens tend to befor items such as toasterovens, sheets, blankets,warm socks, warm bootsand warm sweaters, shesaid.

The wish lists of singlemoms are very similar,Cadle said. They tend toask for practical thingsand items for their chil-dren. IPM staffers en-courage them to also in-clude on their lists at leastone item they would likefor Christmas that theywould not buy for them-selves.

“Everyone wants a lit-tle magic for the holi-days,” she said.

In addition to the bag of

Christmas gifts, eachfamily also receives a fro-zen turkey and grocerygift cards.

While all the familieshave been adopted, Cadlesaid IPM is still in need ofgift cards. Each family re-ceives at least one giftcard to help buy a Christ-mas meal. If a gift listitem for an adopted fam-ily is forgotten or mis-placed, gift cards are usedto fill that need, she said.

Donations of giftcards, preferably inamounts of $25, can bedropped off at IPM’sheadquarters in New-town, 3509 Debolt Road,between the hours of 9a.m. and 4 p.m. Mondaythrough Friday, and be-tween 5 to 8 p.m. Mondayevenings.

tage Foundation in Cincin-nati.

It was a group of 30 to40, mostly women. Lessthan a month later, heagreed to attend a meet-ing which turned out to bea tea party planning meet-ing for their March 2009rally on Fountain Square.After some hesitation - toomany people - Ziegeragreed to be one of thespeakers. They told him itwould be 200 to 250 peo-ple.

“Fountain Square waspacked,” he said. “TheCincinnati police chiefsaid there were about5,000 people there. It waspacked.”

People responded wellto his story. A month laterit was Dayton and thenmore events and talk ra-dio. People began tellinghim to write his story.

“Finally, I’m speakingat all these events andpeople coming, saying‘Harald this is a uniquestory, you have to writethat down, people need toknow that,’” Zieger said.

“I’m not a writer, for-get about that.”

Callers on Brian Thom-as’s radio show pushedhim to write, Thomasmade an on the air plea tocallers to come forwardand help Zieger.

It prompted him to

think about titles forchapters. That made iteasier and in 2010 he start-ed to write.

In just a couplemonths, he had written 70pages. Then he stopped.He can’t explain why hestopped, but has an expla-nation for why he finallywrote “Freedom’s Night-mare.”

“This I think is reallyrelated to the work of ourLord when He tries to getyou doing something,”Zieger said.

Zieger had a visit froma friend who is a success-ful professional Christiansinger songwriter.

They talked about herexperience with her firstprofessionally recordedCD. Her record companyalso had a publishinghouse. It was only a coupledays later Zieger madecontact with a publisherthere.

He sent a professionalbook proposal. They re-quested a complete chap-ter. One week later he re-ceived a contract in themail.

Zieger had no intentionof signing the contract.Then he agreed to an in-terview with a man whowanted to include his sto-ry in a book he was writ-ing.

During the interviewat Zieger’s home, that mantold him “You will signthat.” It was the final pushhe needed.

He signed the contract

in December 2012. ByFebruary 2013 the firstfinished manuscript wasin the hands of the pub-lisher. A first edition wasreleased in May 2014. A fi-nal edit and revised edi-tion was just released inOctober 2015.

Zieger compares hislife in East Germany tobeing on a train, going thewrong way, but not by his

own choice. He completes the anal-

ogy with the decision tojump off that train.

“What if you find out allyou strive for, everythingyou want to do, collideswith your environment,but you have no right tochoose another direc-tion,” Zieger said. “Youjump, you risk your life.Against all odds we sur-

vived that jump.”Zieger hopes “Free-

dom’s Nightmare” willhelp readers understand agovernment that controlseverything, controls ev-erything in your life andleaves you with no free-dom.

“When government isable to give you every-thing you want, it is alsoable to take everything

you have,” he said.“It is ahuge mistake to think thatan all-powerful govern-ment can keep you safe. Itis not possible.”

MILFORD – Eachschool year, students atMilford Schools’ Mead-owview Elementary skipthe traditional wrappingpaper/candy fundraisingsales in favor of one event– a walkathon where stu-dents’ pledges pay forprogramming and re-sources the schoolcouldn’t otherwise afford.

This year’s eventraised more than $31,000,exceeding the school’sgoal of $25,000.

“We tell our parentsthat if we meet our goalwe won’t bug them therest of the year to sellcandy bars or wrappingpaper,” said Amy Reindl,VP of fundraising for theMeadowview PTA.

In the past, the princi-pal has done everythingfrom dressing like a pi-rate to jumping out of aplane to inspire studentwalkers. This fall, newprincipal Kelli Ellisondressed in character forthe walkathon’s theme ofspace aliens and rockstars.

“She was a rock starwho was abducted byaliens and was supposedto teach them how torock,” Reindl said. “Wehad a dance party to kickoff the walkathon. A spaceage band, the Meadow-trons, wanted to learn howto rock.”

Supporters like thewalkathon because 100percent of the money

raised goes to the school,Reindl said. Fifteen cor-porate sponsors under-write the cost of the event,enabling each student toreceive a T-shirt. Topfundraisers also can en-joy lunch with the princi-pal at Recreations Outlet,courtesy of Marco’s Pizza.

Also instrumental inmaking the event a suc-cess were the 35 parentvolunteers who helpedplan and coordinate thewalkathon.

Proceeds from the 2015walkathon will enable theschool to purchase aChrome cart with 32Chrome laptop computersthat can be transportedfrom classroom to class-room. The money raisedalso will pay for COSI inColumbus to bring handson experiments to Mead-owview’s gym for stu-dents to rotate through. Italso pays for classroomsupplies through grants to

teachers for special pro-jects.

“For example, the sec-ond-grade is studyingworms, so we bought aworm farm,” Reindl said.

Money raised also willpay for special program-ming, including bringinganimals from the Cincin-nati Zoo to kindergartenclassrooms. Other smallassembly programs willinclude bringing in an au-thor of children’s books.

Although the weatherfor this fall’s walkathonwas touch and go, “it wasabsolutely perfect” whenthe event started, en-abling some students towalk as far as 4 miles,Reindl said.

“The teachers and thenew principal did a greatjob of motivating thekids,” Reindl said. “Butwe couldn’t do the wal-kathon without the help ofthe parents and the com-munity’s support.”

Goshen Schools» Goshen Local School Dis-

trict has embraced STEM (sci-ence, technology, engineeringand mathematics) educationwith urgency, adding a Gatewayto Technology program at itsmiddle school while continuingto support STEM professionaldevelopment opportunities fortheir educators.

Goshen Middle School stu-dents engage in project-basedlearning every day in their Ga-teway to Technology class (theprecursor to the high schoolpre-engineering programcalled Project Lead the Way(PLTW). Whether it’s complet-ing coding or robotics assign-ments among the many otherreal-world projects, middleschool students are engaged incollaborative thinking situa-tions that mimic future skillsneeded in the workforce.

Although the addition of thisprogram is the latest programchange, Goshen Schools hasbeen embedding STEM princi-ples within its science and mathclasses for several years. BothGoshen Middle School and HighSchool have supported sixteachers in STEM trainingthrough The University of Cin-

cinnati’s CEEMS (CincinnatiEngineering Enhanced Mathe-matics and Science Program)where teachers receive inten-sive training for two summers.The teachers then work withreal engineers who regularlyconsult with the teachers andvisit the classrooms to workwith students.

Goshen High School biologyteachers Darla Smith and GregMiller seized an opportunity totake sixty high school studentsto Sinclair Community Col-lege’s STEM education day,where students toured variouslabs and had the opportunity todiscover some of the education-al pathways available at Sin-clair as well as job market pro-jections for each position.

The STEM fever has spreadso much that 14 middle and highschool teachers have applied toand been awarded the Believein Ohio (BiO) Stem Competitiongrant through the Ohio Acad-emy of Science. The programcombines STEM and businessmarketing as students produceprototypes and then complete acommercialization plan. Theculminating activity is the pres-entation of the project in a“shark tank” like format.

As the workplace skills need-

ed by employers continues toevolve, Goshen Local Schools’fervent commitment to stay

abreast of these changesthrough their STEM practiceswill continue to benefit their

students.

You’ll never believe whatkind of “gift without ribbons” Ireceived last week.

Farmer Bruner, who livesdown the road, knocked on my

back kitchenscreen door. Hehad a five-gal-lon bucket ofhickory nuts onhis arm.

“I thoughtyou might likesome,” he toldme. What? Likesome? Howabout lovesome? “These

nuts came from trees firstplanted long ago by my dad onour farm,’ he said. He told meto shell a couple and plantthem, which we did.

Hickory nuts are so expen-sive when you find themshelled (if you can) at the gro-cery. So to have been given abig bucketful was both over-whelming and so very cool.

The thing, though, abouthickory nuts, is that they havean outer shell, which is fairlyeasily removed in four quad-rants. The inner shell, not somuch. Lucky for me our son,Jason, came over with two ofhis boys, Will and Jack, to helpsplit wood that same day. Icorralled Jack into helping mecrack nuts with bricks whileWill helped with wood. (Ifyou’ve never shelled a hickorynut, go to my website Aboutea-ting.com to see “how to” pho-tos by Jack). We used some ofthe hickory nuts in this classicmonkey bread recipe. Eating itwarm from the oven was a realtreat.

And oh by the way, I prom-ised Jack I’d make him someHarry Potter butter beer nexttime he comes over. I’m shar-ing both the monkey bread andthe butter beer recipes today.

Rita’s recommendationfor holiday cookbookgiving

Neighbor 2 Neighbor,schools work together

This in response to RandyKleine’s column in the Dec. 2 issue:

Evidence based research showsthat diversity within the teachingstaff of our schools not only im-proves educational equity, it helps toprepare children of all socio-eco-nomic and ethnic backgrounds forlife within a diverse society.

Three members of color inNeighbor 2 Neighbor served as edu-cators within the Milford SchoolDistrict. Virginia McCallum notonly taught, but she retired as a prin-cipal. Claudette Coleman, a memberof N2N, recalls how proud she was towalk with the N2N float at FrontierDay Parade with Mrs. McCallum.“Along the entire parade route,there were cheers from the crowd asadults and children called out ‘Mrs.McCallum, Mrs. McCallum!’”

With no black teachers in the dis-trict due to retirement and attrition,N2N invited Milford City School Su-

perintendent Bob Ferrell to attend ameeting to discuss the lack of diver-sity within our teaching staff. N2Nmembers attended school admini-stration meetings and offered sug-gestions in ways to recruit qualifiedblack teachers into our schools. N2Nis an important ally of the school sys-tem and is in a unique position tohelp them achieve racial diversity ofqualified teachers within ourschools.

The mission of Neighbor 2 Neigh-bor is to understand and respect lifeexperiences and cultures differentfrom our own, then help others un-derstand by speaking against injus-tice and becoming an example oflove and compassion for all.

N2N meets on the fourth Mondayof the month at 7 p.m. in the ChristCommunity Church, Milford. Formore information, contact CharleneHinners (382 0251), Claudette Cole-man (886-6553) or Ed Alten (575-1515).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

As a financial profes-sional, I never thought I’dencounter anything thatpeople fear as much astaxes, but alas, I have…FAFSA.

For those of you whohave not yet sent a childoff to college, FAFSAstands for the Free Appli-cation for Federal StudentAid. The purpose of FAF-SA is to determine theexpected family contribu-tion (EFC), which is theamount of money a familywill have to pay for collegefor the current academicyear before they can beconsidered for need-basedfinancial aid. EFC has fourcomponents - parent in-come, parent assets, stu-dent income and studentassets.

Historically, a familywould complete this formfor the first time in Janu-ary of their student’s sen-ior year in high school,using their prior year fed-eral tax returns to reportparent and student in-come. This timeline willhold true for families ofcurrent high school sen-iors, who will completeFAFSA for the first timethis coming January, usingtheir 2015 tax returns todetermine their financialaid eligibility for the 2016-2017 academic year, which

will betheirfreshmanyear incollege.

Al-thoughguidancecounselorstypicallystart en-gagingstudents in

the preparing-for-collegeprocess quite early in theirhigh school careers (asearly as freshman year),parents will often avoidconsidering how they willpay for it until senior year,when FAFSA is looming.

The U.S. Department ofEducation recently an-nounced sweepingchanges to this schedule,which now makes it imper-ative for parents of juniorsand sophomores to startplanning for the paying-for-college process. Thefirst change moves thefiling from January backto October, meaning par-ents of current high schooljuniors will file their firstFAFSA in October 2016(rather than January 2017).The second change re-quires families to reportincome from their “priorprior” year tax return, sofamilies of juniors will usetheir 2015 tax returns

(rather than 2016) to reportincome, even though theywon’t head off to collegeuntil the fall of 2017. Fam-ilies of current sopho-mores will use their 2016tax returns to completeFAFSA in October 2017,for the 2018-2019 academicyear.

These changes are im-portant for two reasons: 1)they more closely align thefinancial aid process withthe college application andadmission process, and 2)they afford families anearlier opportunity to planfor how they will pay forcollege and more impor-tantly, more time to strate-gically minimize theirExpected Family Contribu-tion.

Current statistics showthat 89 percent of familieswho apply for financial aidwill receive it, so don’tdelay in educating your-self about the process, andhow to position your fam-ily for maximum eligibil-ity.

Jodi Eramo COMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Dec. 10 questionDo you agree with the decision not

to prosecute the officer who shot Tre-pierre Hummons, after he shot Cincin-nati Officer Sonny Kim? Why or whynot?

“I agree with the decision not toprosecute the officer. He arrived on-to and active shooter situation,where a fellow law enforcement of-ficer had just been shot and theshooter was still in possession of afire arm. From the reports, the ar-riving officer’s car was shot at, andhe was lucky enough to get out of thevehicle and the community was for-tunate that he was able to kill thegunman before any more harm wasdone either to further law officers orthe community.

“The fact that prosecution of theofficer was even being considered isinsulting to law officers who putthemselves in harm’s way everyday,working to keep communities safe.”

C.S.

“Shouldn’t like to speculate. Idon’t know what the prosecutor’s of-fice knew that made them decline.Obviously this was an armed anddangerous felon who had proven hewould not care who he shot. As in allshooting investigations, the officerwho shot Hummons, was thoroughlyinvestigated. Given the political pos-turing that has allowed the favoringof felons over law enforcement, I’mfairly confident that any shred of li-ability would have resulted in an in-dictment. The public is probablyawakening to the concept that mak-ing police officers scapegoats in spe-cious lawsuits, certainly doesn’t en-courage anyone to become a policeofficer. We need that thin blue linemore than ever these days.”

D.B.

“Why is this even a question? Whywould there ever be an iota of ques-tion whatsoever about prosecutingOfficer Sandman for doing his job in

the only proper way it must be donewhen faced with a deranged personintent on committing suicide-by-cop, especially after the perpetratorhad taken Officer Kim’s life in such abrutal manner?

“Officer Sandman should be com-mended and congratulated for hisexcellent performance of duty in themost challenging situation any po-lice officer hopes never to be facedwith. Sadly there have been far toomany police involved shootings re-cently and several of those havebeen questionable. The blatant mur-der of Officer Kim involved no suchambiguity. I am guessing that thesad memories of everything thattranspired that day will haunt Offi-cer Sandman for the rest of his life,but I for one, am proud of him, salutehim and thank him for his profes-sional service.”

M.J.F.

“If Officer Sandman had not shotHummons, others besides OfficerKim could have been wounded orkilled. Officer Sandman deserves amedal not any prosecution. The goodnews is the various Reverend’s(Jackson and Sharpton et al) did notfeel the need to get involved. Go Fig-ure!”

T.D.T.

“Are you kidding with this ques-tion? He should be given a medal anda key to the city.”

Eighteen percent of our region’s pop-ulation lives below the poverty level –this affects all communities from West-ern Hills to Downtown to Anderson Town-ship.

A core tenet of LaRosa’s Family Pizze-ria is about supporting families in ourcommunity by helping our neighbors inneed. Children living in poverty are par-ticularly effected – in many cases, thesechildren go to school hungry and over theholiday break, parents don’t have enoughresources to provide the meals thatwould normally be provided in school orat after school programs.

More than 44 percent of Cincinnatichildren in poverty go to school ill pre-pared; in dirty clothes, without socks orwearing shoes that don’t fit. Some school-teachers even have food and clothingclosets at school to help. Imagine havinga household income of less than $20,000 ayear for yourself and several children – itdoesn’t go far. Imagine how you’d feel asa parent knowing that your child is hun-gry and having no resources to feedthem. Or that your child doesn’t have acoat for our frigid Cincinnati winters.This is a snapshot of the working poor.

Nationally one in five children facehunger on a daily basis. We all have a roleto play in ensuring that no child goeshungry. Part of that role is talking about“food insecurity” with friends, colleaguesand family to help raise awareness of thiscritical issue. Volunteering is anotherway you can actively help – The Fre-estore Foodbank, among other socialservice organizations, seeks volunteers,particularly during the holidays to ensurethat all of its clients receive the help thatthey need.

This holiday season, LaRosa’s is proudto once again support the Freestore Food-bank of Cincinnati to help the individuals

and families in our com-munity. Beginning theday after Thanksgiving,each of our pizzerias willsell Buddy Cards (ourtwo-for-one pizza dis-count card) to benefit theFreestore Foodbank. TheFreestore Foodbank isone of Ohio’s largest foodbanks, distributing morethan 20 million mealsannually in 20 different

counties throughout Ohio, Kentucky, andIndiana. We will donate $5 from the saleof every $10 Buddy Card directly to theFreestore Foodbank. Our contributionwill help support the Freestore Foodbankefforts to provide the necessary re-sources to help eliminate food insecurityin our region. Please join us in our effortsto surpass our 2014 contribution of$40,000 to the Freestore Foodbank.

MILFORD – Last season wasa banner year for the MilfordEagles - something they hope torepeat in 2015.

They set school records forwins in a season (22) and con-secutive wins (18), as well as ashare of the league crown andan OHSAA District Champion-ship Game appearance.

Reaching that level againwas on the minds of the playerswhen they opened the seasonNov. 28 at Sycamore, a 59-49loss.

“There are so many guys onthis year’s team who were a partof last year’s success that whenwe lost that first game at Syca-more, it was like ‘oh my gosh,’”coach Joe Cambron said. “I’mnot one to like losses, but itmight have been the best thingto happen to us. This is a newseason now.”

The Eagles no longer haveRyan Gallimore, Will Hannah,Grant Riesenberg or Justin Ar-nold, but Brad Hall, Jack Engel-

man, Ben Greenwell, MitchellWenzler, Alex Shiplett and Kee-nan Farrell all returned.

On a game-in, game-out ba-sis, opposing offenses have tocontend with a scrappy defenseand opposing defenses strugglewith deciding who to stop onMilford’s offense.

Those principles haveserved Milford well lately.

The Eagles won 62-57 atWithrow Dec. 8 and placed fourin double-figures, includingthree with new career-bests. Bythe final horn, senior BrendanDugan led all Milford playerswith a new personal best of 14points.

Engelman scored the go-ahead bucket with 1:27 to playand Milford iced the game witha trio of free throws down thestretch to give the Eagles a 49-44 victory over rival Loveland.

“These guys know whatwe’re trying to do,” the coachsaid. They’re different players,but the mentality is the same,and that’s really fun. You canfeel it starting to be similar tolast year.”

NORWOOD – Headed intothe Dec. 10 Southern BuckeyeConference American Divisionmatchup between Goshen andNorwood, Goshen coach Bran-don Baker knew an emphasisneeded to be placed on stoppingNorwood’s Hannah Tubbs.

Tubbs went on to score 13points, but the Warriors were

able to leave Norwood with a 51-34 victory.

“Anna Dowd played a phe-nomenal game defensively, weknew that we were playingagainst one of the best playersin the city, in Tubbs,” Bakersaid. “(Dowd) worked her abso-lute butt off to make Tubbs workfor everything she got.”

The success of CyberMonday shows the pop-ularity of the Internetwhen it comes to bargainshopping. If you’re think-ing of buying a used caronline, you need to bevery careful.

Abbie Denen, of An-derson Township, says

her husband had beenlooking online for a usedtruck to pull a trailerfrom their home. Denensays, “He found one onCraigslist for $2,000,which was a 2005 DodgeRam 1500.”

Denen was looking atthe Cincinnati Craigslist

website and texted theseller that he was in-terested. He then re-ceived quite a story fromthe seller.

“She was from theLebanon area and hadrecently been widowed.The truck was paid offand had 140,000 miles on

it. She couldn’t keep it, itwas giving her bad mem-ories,” Denen said.

Unfortunately, themore they got involvedtrying to buy the truckthe more complicated it.It turns out the truckwasn’t nearby in Lebanon– it was out in Utah. Butremember, the selleradvertised the vehicle onthe Cincinnati Craigslistwebsite even though itsthousands of miles away.

To try to keep theDenens interested, theseller claimed the vehi-cle came with an ebayBuyer Protection Plan. Inaddition, Denen says,“The shipping cost wouldbe hers. If somethingwas wrong with the truckand we didn’t like it wecould send it back to her.She would pay the returnshipping costs.”

How did the sellerwant to be paid? Thesame way many scam-mers are operating these

days. Thescammerwantedthem to goto a drugstore, de-posit themoney on aprepaiddebit cardand thenemail apicture of

the numbers on the backof the card. The sellercould then strip the$2,000 from that debitcard.

Denen says they gotsuspicious of the dealwhen they couldn’t findany mention of the vehi-cle on ebay Motors web-site. She called ebaydirectly and says, “Theysaid if anyone offers youanything from an outsideentity it’s not real -- andCraigslist is an outsideentity.”

The Denens stoppingcommunicating with

those scammers and saythey want to warn every-one.

“They’re out there.They’re still puttingthings out there sayingthey’ll offer you an ebaybuyer protection plan.That’s when you shouldrun.”

Bottom line; neverbuy a vehicle sight-un-seen. Always get a usedvehicle checked out byan ASE certified mechan-ic before buying so youknow everything that’swrong with it and canmake an informed deci-sion. Finally, beware ofanyone who wants you topay for something with aprepaid debit card.

Howdy folks,It was a busy week

working in the carpentryshop getting ready forthe craft show at theShepherd’s Place in Be-thel.

Deer gun season camein last Monday and thehunters are harvestinglots of deer - deer meat isvery good. Ruth Annknew how to fix it, we atea lot of deer. The littleones are so beautiful butwhen they grow up theycan be so destructive.There have been severalkilled by vehicles andthey do a lot of damageand have taken people’slives. This time of theyear the bucks are chas-ing the does so be carefulwhen driving.

The wild turkeys areso plentiful, I have seen40 in a flock. They seemto like to be out when it israining, maybe to take abath or something.

The Shepherd’s Placein Bethel is sure doing afine job to entertain theschool children afterschool from 2:30 p.m. to 6p.m. There are differentcrafts, a cooking class,

carpentryclass, Bi-ble study, aretiredteacherhelpingstudents,and musicclasses.The Shep-herd’sPlace is a

house of God. The ladywho started it is doing asuper job. The communi-ty is really getting in-volved.

The ladies from theMethodist Church arehaving sewing class forthe young folks. OnThursday of last weekthey stored all the itemsin the room so the craf-ters could set up theircrafts. There were prob-ably better than 20 craf-ters there, it was great.On Friday there wereseveral people there, onSaturday there was agood crowd and all craf-ters sold some items.Now you might markyour calendar, they areplanning on having acraft show in April ofnext year.

There was a man thatfell out of his deer standduring the first week. Hewas badly hurt and willbe in the hospital for awhile so when you get ina deer stand please buck-le yourself in so if some-thing happens you don’tfall out.

Was talking to Mike atthe Boars Head BaitShop at Afton. He saidthe crappie are reallybiting good. The folks arecatching their limit,these are some goodeating. Mike also said thesauger at Meldahl Damnin the Ohio River, aresure biting good but besure you don’t go to thewall at the damn. A pon-toon boat a couple yearsago didn’t move when aload of barges came in.Now if you are caught inthe lock especially tiedup, you will get a heftyticket.

The sauger fish arefine eating and you mightcatch some walleye. Ihave caught some sever-al years ago. I haven’tfished down in the riverfor a long time. When Idid fish there you could

sort the size of the fish.That was the way theywere feeding you couldonly use one pole. Theywere biting that fast. Oneday out in the middle ofthe river we caught ourlimit in a couple hours.So be careful when youfish the river, the OhioRiver can take a lifequick. The river can be ajoy to use for recreation,remember when you areon any water wear a lifejacket.

The Methodist Churchin Bethel last Saturdaynight held their Christ-mas musical entitled“Heart of Christmas -God’s Greatest Gift andOur Greatest Choice.”

When the program start-ed the honor guard fromBethel Legion Post 406was the guest to honorthe flag presentation.This was a very movingtime with the veteranspresenting the flag onSaturday evening. OnSunday evening the Cler-mont County MarineVeterans Honor Guardpresented the flag. Thisalways brings a tear tomy eyes. They all are tobe thanked for their ser-vice, thanks to all!

The musical was won-derful Saturday nightwith a good crowd butSunday night the folkswere hunting chairs inthe sanctuary. The sanc-

tuary was full with a bigcrowd. Everyone enjoyedthe singing and program.The Lord will bless allthe folks that were re-sponsible for putting onthe program. Praise theLord for all the godlypeople.

Start your week bygoing to the house ofworship of your choiceand praising the goodLord.

God bless all...Morelater

If you love your dog, li-cense it. That’s the mes-sage from ClermontCounty Commissioners asthe season to buy dog li-censes runs through Jan.31. Annual licenses cost$16 each; three year li-censes can be bought for$48, and permanent li-censes for $160. Kennel li-censes can be bought for$80, which includes fivetags, with $1for each addi-tional tag. Under Ohiolaw, dogs must be licensedeach year.

“A lost dog can be easi-ly returned to its owner ifit is tagged,” said EdHumphrey, president ofthe Clermont CountyCommissioners. “If thedog is not tagged, it isbrought to the county’sanimal shelter where ev-ery effort is made to lo-cate the owner. But howmuch easier would this be– and more fair to the dog-- if every dog in Clermont

County had its tag.”The county animal

shelter, managed by Cler-mont to the Rescue, takesin an average of 71 straydogs a month, DirectorKimberly Thomas said.The great majority areneither licensed nor mi-crochipped, making itmuch more difficult to getthem back to their own-ers. “From April throughNovember, we were ableto reunite 129 dogs with

their owners,” Thomassaid. “Out of the 129 dogs,only 28 had purchasedtags and were up to date.”

If a dog is untagged,the animal shelter willkeep it for 72 hours; thedog is then made availablefor adoption, fostering orrescue. If the dog istagged, the shelter willkeep it for up to 14 dayswhile Clermont to theRescue staff attempt tocontact the owner.
