MILFORD — Vice PresidentJoe Biden told hundreds hereSunday the biggest differencebetween President Barack Oba-ma and his rival, Mitt Romney, isthat Obama actually believes inthe middle class.
“I found it fascinating how thenew Republican Party discov-ered the middle class at the con-vention,” Biden said. “It was like,‘Eureka.’
“My dad would say to us,‘Don’t tell me your values, showme your budget. I will tell youwhat you value,’ ” Biden said.
Biden said a closer look at theRepublican agenda shows plans
for massive cuts to Medicare,massive cuts to Social Security,massive cuts to early education.
“Why are they doing it?” hesaid. “They have to. They need todo it to pay for themassive tax cutstheywill give to thevery wealthy.”
Republican re-action was swift.
“Once again JoeBiden has illustrat-ed that he is incapa-ble of talking honestly or sub-stantively about the most impor-tant issues affecting Ohio work-ers and families,” Romneycampaign spokesman Christo-pher Maloney said. “…It appears
as though he iswilling to say any-thing to divert attention awayfrom theObama administration’sfailed policies, which have leftmore than 400,000 Ohioans look-
ing for work.”About 735 peo-
ple turned out tohear Biden speakin theMilfordHighSchool cafeteria,according to theMiami TownshipFire Department.
It was Biden’s last stop on two-day swing through Appalachiathat stopped in Zanesville andAthens on Saturday and Ports-mouth earlier Sunday.
Earlier in the day Biden
stopped at Cruisers Diner in Sea-man, Ohio, sitting down with agroup of motorcycle riders. Thebrief chatmadenationalnewsbe-cause an Associated Press photoshows a woman practically sit-ting inBiden’s lap. Biden touchedher shoulders and leaned in totalk to the woman, according tothe Associated Press caption.
It’s Biden’s 17th visit to Ohiothis year. He’ll be back Wednes-day for an event in Dayton.

STONELICK TWP. — TheStonelick Township Fire/EMSDepartment recently hasbought two vehicles to up-grade fire and rescue ser-vices.
Fire ChiefMatt Rose said anew 2012 life squad vehiclemanufactured by HortonEmergency Vehicles wasbought for $180,000.
The money for the pur-chase came fromfundsgener-ated by “soft billing” of insur-ance companies for rescueruns, he said.
“It took a couple of years tobuild up the fund,” Rose said.
The money from the “softbilling” is put into a special ac-count for EMS training andequipment, he said.
The new rescue vehicle re-placesa1999unit thatwassoldto a fire department in SouthCarolina for $9,200.
Rose said the departmentstill hasa2007 rescueunit thatwill be used as a backup forthe new vehicle.
Trustee John Hanley saidthe $9,200 from the sale of theold vehicle was used to pur-chase and equip a 1989 laddertruck from the village of Ma-riemont.
Rose said the addition ofthe 100-foot ladder truck, thetownship’s first, should helpwith the department’s Insur-ance Service Office rating.
The rating service recom-mends a ladder truck forfighting fires in buildingsmore than 35 feet high.
Hanley said there are anumber of buildings in thetownship higher than 35 feet,including schools, the Owens-ville village hall and numer-ous residences.
Hesaid in thepasthehad toask surrounding departmentsfor assistance when the town-ship needed a ladder truck.
Rose said the departmentalso recently received a$5,000 grant from the statefrom a fund generated by seatbelt fines.
That money will be used tobuy additional EMS equip-ment.

Biden was the right choiceto appeal to the middleclass.
Biden can connect tosmall townsandblue-collarAmerica, Burke said. “Hecomes from that back-ground.”
Biden grew up in Scran-ton, Pa., and has said he
knows the struggles of afamily trying to get by in abad economy. His father atone point lost his job andhis family relocated toDel-aware.
The Milford stop showshow important Cincinnati’sring counties are to win-ning Ohio. The Democratsdon’t expect to take South-west Ohio’s heavily Repub-lican counties of Butler,Warren and Clermont, butPresident Obama mustminimize the losses there.
If the Democratic can-didate loses big in thosecounties, he can’t win Ohio.
In 2004, Republican for-mer President George W.Bush won Ohio because ofoverwhelming Republicanmargins in Clermont, War-ren and Butler countiesweren’t offset by Demo-
cratic Sen. John Kerry’swins in largenorthernOhiocounties like CuyahogaCounty.
Ohio’s former governor,Democrat Ted Strickland,faced the same problemwhen he lost his bid for re-election in 2010.
This year, Republicansin Clermont County andnearby Butler Countymight be open to someDemocratic argumentsabout middle class issues.In 2011, Clermont Countyand Butler County votersvoted to repeal Senate Bill5, Republican Gov. JohnKasich’s failed bid to cur-tail collective-bargainingrights of public sectorunions.
Strickland spoke beforeBiden, reminding thecrowd how important Ohio
is. “Iwant to remind you noRepublican has ever wonthe White House withoutOhio.”
The crowd respondedwith a chant of “Four moreyears.”
After Biden’s speech,Strickland said, “it’s beentwo good days.”
“We have a lot of enthu-siasticpeoplecommitted tohelping the president andvice president,” he said.“Themessage is beingwellreceived.”
Milford residents TonyGustin, 48, and Cindy Gus-tin, 51, said theycameto theevent for one specific rea-son: “Wewanted to see partof history.”
The Gustins considerthemselves blue-collarworkers and wanted tohear Biden’s message tothe middle class.
“Joe seems to be one ofthe more middle-class vicepresidents that we’veseen,” Tony Gustin said.
Diane Porteous-Ervin,59, of Milford said: “The(Democrats) are worriedabout all the right things.”

This year’s event willfeature approximately 60artists, up from 40 in pre-vioius years.
Mary Ward, an organiz-er for the event, said sheactively recruited new art-ists to go along with thoseartists who are familiarwith Art Affaire.
Local artist O’NealJohnston has been partici-pating in Art Affaire sinceit began seven years ago.
He said he continues to re-turn not only for the thechance to be on the Pro-mont House grounds, butthe mix of interesting mu-sic and fellow artists aswell.
“The quality of the ma-terial is pretty exception-al,” Johnston said.
Johnston’s art focusesonwood-carving andwood-turning. He said one of hisspecialties is handcarvedSanta Clauses, though healsomakes small bowls, or-naments and other itemsmade from local wood.
Northside artist Eliza-beth Gaul will be attendingher first Art Affaire thisyear after being ap-proached by organizersduring a show in Cincin-nati. Gaul, who specializesin Pennsylvania-Germanfolk art, said she’s lookingforward to theevent inpartbecause of its connectionwith the Greater MilfordHistorical Society.
Gaul said she enjoyseducatingpeopleaboutold-er forms of art, and does sothrough her wood-carving,water color work and scis-sor-cutting works of art.
Gaul has been an artistsince 1980 and is originallyfrom Pennsylvania.
This will be the thirdyear that Elizabeth Kindle,College Hill, attends ArtAffaire, bringing her fiberart back to the event. Shebegan making fiber art,which uses fabric, art andnatural fibers to makebowls and other fashion-able containers, shortly be-fore attending her first ArtAffaire, and is looking for-ward to returning thisyear.
“It’s a really good varie-ty of quality (art),” Kindlesaid.
She creates anythingfrom trinket boxes to dogbeds using recyclable ma-terials like secondhandclothing, plastic store bagsand mylar balloons.
Art Affaire is a fund-raiser for the Greater Mil-ford Area Historical Soci-ety,with themoneyhelpingmaintain the PromontHouse Museum, supportactivities at the facility andhelps raise $500 for annualscholarships for Milfordstudents interested instudying history in college.

MILFORD — City Coun-cil members Sept. 4 ap-proved an ordinance re-ducing the number ofmembers of the Parks andRecreation Commissionfrom seven to five.
The commission hadbeen operating with sixmembers after the seventhseatwas vacated. The deci-sion to reduce the numberof members on the com-mission came at a timewhen another member,Chris Rosenhoffer, had
chosen to step down.Mayor Geoff Pittman
said Rosenhoffer resignedfrom the position for per-sonal reasons.
“He will certainly besorely missed,” Pittmansaid.
He said the number ofmembers was reduced tofive to compensate for thevacancies and to keepmembership at an oddnumber. Having an oddnumber on a commissionhelps avoid even splitswhen voting on issues, hesaid.
“This isgoing toallowus
to be even more efficient,”City Manager Jeff Wrightsaid.
Wright said the city’sother commissions havefive members as well.
In addition to reducingthe number of members,the ordinance also reducedthe length of terms for non-council members to two-year terms.
“The city council feltthat by reducing the lengthof terms, it would encour-age community membersto join in the future,”Wright said.

MILFORD — As the whistlesounded Aug. 28 and the 2-1 vic-tory over McAuley was in-hand,the Milford Lady Eagles soccerteamhadsomecelebrating todo.
Not only did the win movethem to 3-0-2 on the season, itwas coach Patrick Winkler’s100th victory of his career.
“Personally it justmeans I’vebeen around long enough andhave been lucky enough to havesome really great players gothough the program,” Winklersaid. “Not just the soccer pro-gram, but just that I’ve beenaroundsomefabulousgraduatesof Milford High School. I’mlucky and blessed to be a part ofit.”
Winkler is in his eighth yearas coach of the Lady Eagles andafter a victory over AndersonSept. 4, his career record sits at101-27-12. His teams have wonfour consecutive conference
championships, two districtchampionships, one regionalrunner-up team in 2011, alongwith earning conference Coachof the Year five times and All-City Coach of the Year in 2008.
“I’mhappy,veryhappy,”Win-kler said about his time at Mil-ford. “I’m especially happy forthe girls. I always tell them oneof the things as I coach that Istrive for and want them to bepart of is something bigger thanthemselves. I takea lotof joyandhappiness when I see them cele-brate some sort of achievement.It’s awesome just to see.”
2012 is no different when itcomes to success. The Lady Ea-glesare4-0-2 throughSept. 7 andeven after graduating somequality talent from 2011, theyhavestepped-up to thechallengethis season.
“We knew that we had somegreat players coming back,”Winkler said. “It has been chal-lenging finding the right piecesand putting those pieces togeth-
er. We lost a returning player toan ACL injury so that sort ofshakes some things up. We’vehad to adapt to that but we arevery pleased, especially withour work rate. We are a very
hard-working team.”Senior Kiersten Johnson is
one of the big reasons for theearly success. She leads theEastern Cincinnati Conferencewith seven goals and 17 points.
“She’s good,” her coach said.“That doesn’t surprise us. Weknew from a production stand-point she had the capability ofproducing. We knew she couldscore and set goals up, but whatwe have to do is guard againstbeing one-dimensional. We haveto make sure we are getting asmany girls involved becauseteamsaregoing tokey inonher.”
Kayla Byrnside has been an-other key contributor. She has agoal and four assists through thefirst six games.
“Shehasbeenoneofourmoreconsistent players throughoutthe season,” Winkler said. “Shehasbeen asked to do a little bit ofeverything. She is a multi-toolplayerandhasexcelledatgivingus quality minutes wherever weneed her.”
Milford senior Stephanie Price heads a ball during the Lady Eagles’ 2-1 victory over McAuley Aug. 28. The victory was the 100th of coach PatrickWinkler’s career. THANKS TOMARK TROUT

SPRINGFIELD TWP. — Inits first official season as avarsity sport at St. XavierHigh School, the water po-lo team is off to a 3-4 startto begin the season.
The Bombers openedthe season at the NapoleonInvitational and went 2-1,but came back to Cincin-nati for theMilford Invita-tional and went 1-3 to sitwhere they are currently.
After being establishedas a club team in 2011,coach Michael Roberts ispleased with where issquad stands.
“We are doing well,” hesaid. “This is only our sec-ond season so we are stillat the developmental
stage right now.”Leading the Bombers is
senior Cameron Youngand junior Jake Wester-kamp. Both are team cap-tains and Roberts believesthey have the skill sets toplay at the next level.
Another key contrib-utor is senior Nate Sultan,who plays baseball at St.Xavier and has a lot of po-tential, according to Rob-erts.
Betweenvarsity and ju-nior varsity, Roberts saidthere are nearly 30 kids inthe program. The oneswho came to tryoutsranged from football play-ers to kids with little-to-noswimming experience.
“Some guys came outbecause they think it lookscool,” Roberts said. “They
saw it on the Olympics andthey thought it lookedcool. Our kids aren’t allswimmers; some havenever swum at St. Xavierand don’t intend to swimthere. We actually havekids that were either tiredof playing football or thatsustained an injury and itprevents them from play-ing.”
To prove what Robertssaid to be true, all youhaveto do is look at their rosterand see that they havethree former footballplayers, a guard from bas-ketball and Sultan frombaseball.
“If I could teach mykids anticipation and bet-ter reaction timewewouldtake a big leap forward inourperformance,” he said.
It is hard to imagine ateam being disappointedwith winning 31 of its past35 games.
While disappointmentmight be a bit too strong,the Thomas More CollegeSaints remain hungry formore success. After reel-ing off two straight unde-feated regular seasonscapped by first round play-off victories, the Saintsslightly stumbled in 2011,losing their first regular
“We can’t be satisfied,”said head coach Jim Hil-vert. “We have lofty goalsfor this season.”
Hilvert enters his sixthseason as the ranked 22nd
among all active NCAAhead football coaches inwinning percentage (.768).The Saints are ranked 20thin the D3football.com pre-season Top 25. Senior safe-ty Zach Autenrieb entersthe season with 24 careerinterceptions, six shy ofsetting a new Division IIIrecord for career intercep-tions.
Quarterback LukeMag-ness opened eyes afterstarting the final twogames of the 2011 season.
Former Saints quarter-backTrevorStellmantakesover offensive coordinatorduties after Brian Sheehanwas named head coach atDefiance College. He willkeep in place the Saints’dangerous option attack, inwhich speedy backsDomo-nique Hayden and Landon
Savoy will pile up yardage.The receiving corps is
deep, led by Austin Studer,Ryan Winkler, Tony Bell,Bobby Leonard, and Mer-cier Doucette. The entireoffensive line returns in-tact, led by first team All-PAC tackle Jeremy Hoop,second team All-PAC cen-
ter Kevin Naltner, and fel-low senior Kevin Eads.
The Saints will rely ontheir seniors - Bell, Dou-cette, Naltner, Hoop, Eadsand Studer on offense;Volker, Gramke, Auten-rieb,AnglimandBookerondefense — to lead the teambeyond the second round.
Pull a dollar bill out of yourwallet and look at the eagle onthe back. In its beak is a bannerwith the phrase “e pluribusunum” printed on it. The phrase,meaning “out of many, one,” wasour country’s motto until 1956. Itoriginally referred to the ideathat from13 sovereign statesone country was formed.
Over the years, it came tomean something more: Out ofmany countries, ethnicities andraces was born one people -Americans. We Americans holdcommonly shared values: Free-dom of speech, press and reli-gion; free enterprise; belief inthe individual; equal opportuni-ty, and limited government. Thevalues are what we call “Amer-icanism” - the glue that holds a
diverse people together. Theyare what makes us exceptional -“The Shining City on a Hill.”
Radicals in the 1960s claimedthat “a shared national identity”was evil. They argued that themajority, who held these sharedvalues, oppressed minorities. Toovercome this situation, it wasnecessary to identify these so-cial groups - race, ethnicity,class, religion, gender and sexu-al orientation - and developgovernment policies that ap-pealed to the self-interest ofthese groups regardless ofwhether these policies met thecommon good. And thus wasborn “identity politics.”
intrusive gov-ernment in-tervention andmake govern-ment appoint-ments basedmore on theirgroup identitythan on theirindividual mer-it. Crafty iden-tity politicians
formulate an electoral calculusthat counts votes by separatingAmericans into favored groupsand handing out governmentgoodies to them. By its verynature, identity politics aredivisive - pitting one group ofAmericans against another.
President Theodore Roose-velt recognized the danger
posed by identity politics wayback in 1915 when he wrote:“The one absolutely certain wayof bringing this nation to ruin …would be to permit it to becomea tangle of squabbling national-ities.” Liberal historian ArthurSchlesinger, decades later, de-cried “the cult of ethnicity,”warning that identity politicswill pull the country apart.
We are seeing the tactics ofidentity politics in play. Racialdivisions are being agitated.Religious practices are threat-ened by government policies.Class envy is being preached.Favored groups are being re-warded, while others are beingpunished.
In a recent poll Americans,by nearly a 2:1margin, believe
the country is going in thewrong direction.
How do we change our coun-try’s direction? One very impor-tant step would be to recognizethe destructive nature of identi-ty politics and develop objec-tives and politics that promotethe common good - floatingeveryone’s boat instead of justthe favored.
If we don’t do this, the out-come is clear. Our country willbecome mired in the paralysis of“squabbling” groups that Roose-velt warned us about. Or worse,we may even devolve into thetribalism characteristic of Iraqand Afghanistan.

There is mass murder be-ing committed each year inthe state of Ohio. In 2010 alonethis mass murder claimed 341lives. It is likely that a similarnumber of lives were taken in2011 and 2012. The personresponsible for one or more ofthese deaths could live in yourneighborhood or work withyou. They could have beennext to you at the red light onyour way to work. The cul-pable party in this mass mur-der is your local drunk driver.
The Miami Township PoliceDepartment as well as allpolice departments in thestate of Ohio have stepped uptheir enforcement efforts inorder to get these staggeringfigures down. During themonth of August we will bekicking off the “Drive Soberor Get Pulled Over” statewidecampaign. This means that ifyou drive drunk in our com-munity, eventually you will becaught. Our only hope is thatwe can catch you prior tokilling yourself or others thatyou share the roadway with.
A study by the NationalHighway Traffic Safety Ad-ministration shows that eightpercent of Americans admit todrinking and driving at leastonce in the past year. That'sabout 17 million drivers. Thisonly accounts for those whowere willing to admit on thesurvey and to themselves thatthey were too impaired todrive.
This still leaves a strongmajority of drivers who do notdrink and drive. So besides notgetting behind the wheel afterdrinking, what can you do to
help saveinnocent livesfrom drunkdrivers? Ifyou suspectanother driv-er of beingimpairedfrom drugs oralcohol inClermontCounty, you
can call dispatch at 513-732-2231. Regardless of your loca-tion, you can dial 1-800-GRAB-DUI.
I would also like to take amoment to talk about a type ofimpaired driving that notmany people are familiar with.This is driving after using orabusing prescription medica-tions that impair your abilityto drive. Many people areunder the impression that ifthey are prescribed a drug bya doctor, then they can operatea motor vehicle safely whileusing it. If you pay close atten-tion to most medications, theysay on the bottle that youshould not operate a motorvehicle after the use of themedication. Not only are you adanger to yourself and othersafter taking these medica-tions, but in Ohio you will bearrested for OVI (Operating aVehicle while under the Influ-ence) if you are caught.
If you have any questionsregarding drunk driving orany other traffic related issue,we strongly encourage ourcitizens to contact us at 513-248-3721.

Would God join the Tea Par-ty? Probably not – Acts 10:34says that God does not showpartiality or favoritism.
But He would agree with TeaParty principles, not becauseHe agrees with us, but becausewe agree with Him. How so?
The guiding principles of theClermont County Tea Party boildown to three:
» Fiscal responsibility – weshould not spend money wedon’t have, either personally, asa family, as a community, ornationally.
» Limited government –government does not give usrights; rather, its job is to pro-tect our rights.
» Free markets – governmentdoes not produce wealth; onlyfree individuals working involuntary cooperation withother free people can produceanything of value.
The Bible consistently warnsagainst debt and advises us tocarefully consider the prioritiesof our spending. In Romans 13:8,Paul says, “Owe no one any-thing.” Anticipating credit cardand installment loan debt, Prov-erbs 13:7 says, “There are somewho pretend to be rich, yet havenothing.”
The United States is borrow-ing money from CommunistChina and from investors fromother nations in disobedience toDeuteronomy 28: 12, 43-44which predicts that they will
become thehead and we,the tail. Prov-erbs 22:7 con-firms, “…theborrower be-comes thelender’s slave.”
Our statednational debtexceeds $16trillion, but
unfunded Social Security, Medi-care and Medicaid liabilitiesnow push that figure to $222trillion according to BloombergNews. This debt is now owed byour children, grandchildren, andthose yet unborn. Proverbs 13:22 says that “a good man leavesan inheritance (not debt) to hischildren’s children.”
What about the poor andneedy (and those students frommiddle- and upper middle-classfamilies that demand federally-subsized student loans)? Ro-mans 13: 1-7 lays out the properrole and jurisdiction of civilgovernment, that is to providean environment that protectsthe lives and property of itscitizens by apprehending andpunishing evil-doers.
Charity is properly the do-main of the individual, the fam-ily, and the church.
Since neither government orcriminals produce anything,illegitimate government andcriminals share common behav-iors: both use force or threat of
force to take property (andsometimes lives) from its right-ful owners and give it to some-one else who “needs” it.
As Aesop said in 600 BC: “Wehang the petty thief, but appointthe great ones to high office” todo our stealing for us.
The ability to own, use, anddispose of private property isthe essence of liberty, thespringboard of production andwealth, and the fount of gener-osity. Slaves cannot own proper-ty, nor can they freely helpothers in need. Unless a man isable to profit (keep what heearns) from the use of his time,labor, and capital (property), itis doubtful that he will createmuch wealth.
The Seventh Commandmentestablishes the sanctity of con-tracts; the Eighth, the individualright to own and control proper-ty; and the Tenth, that not evenin thought should a person vio-late the property rights of an-other.

“I have (emerald ash borer).What can I do as a homeown-er?”
Emerald ash borer (EAB)and Asian longhorned beetle(ALB) are two different crea-tures and different in how theyattack trees. Yes they both liketrees and both like ash trees,but ALB hosts on 13 differentkinds of trees and make its wayinto the heartwood. Where EABonly host on ash trees and bu-ries its way just under the barkor cambium layer.
First, visit The Ohio StateUniversity Extension OutreachEducation Program for EABlocated at: ashalert.osu.edu/Secondary/secondary.asp?id=20. There are multiple facets ofinformation on what to do andhow to you homeowners need-ing guidance with EAB.
Second, beextremelycautious ofindividuals orcompanies who“stop by” andtell you thatEAB is presentand they canhelp.
Local arbor-ists and their
associates should not be solic-iting business in this manner;there are enough tree issues tokeep them busy without solici-tation. OSU Extension encour-ages you to visit www.isa-ar-bor.com/ faca/findArborist.aspxto locate an International Soci-ety of Arboriculture Certifiedbusiness that you can work withand you know is a reputablecompany.
Unfortunately there is nogovernment, state, county orlocal programs to assist in theremoval of EAB infested trees.
If for some reason you be-lieve you have ALB, contact theUSDA ALB Ohio Field Officeimmediately at 513-381-7180 orOSUE Clermont County exten-sion 13 at 513-732-7070. Moreinformation and resources canbe found atwww.clermont.osu.edu orwww.beetlebusters.info .

TheUniversity ofCincinnat’sClermont College has been pro-viding an education and openingdoors to employment to thou-sands of students in its 40 yearsof existence.
The school is celebrating its40th anniversary this year bynot only looking back at past ac-complishments, but also lookingforward to new possibilities andchallenges.
UC Clermont Dean GregorySojka said the school has alwayspartneredwith county business-es, which is how the school gotits start in Clermont County.
In 1969, a group of ClermontCounty businesses, residentsand organizations made a pro-posal to the University of Cin-cinnati to bring a branch cam-pus to the county. The grouppledged $125,000 to buy a 60-acre farm property on which tobuild the campus.
The University of Cincinnatibought the property in May1970.
Through donations and pur-chases, the school now occupies91 acres in Batavia Township.The school, which opened with asingle building, now has eightbuildings on campus.
The school’s first dean, EdithPeters, who was also the firstfemale dean of a co-ed college inOhio, was hired in June 1972,just three months before theschool opened. At the time, UCClermont had 16 administrativeand support staff, along with 10full-time and eight part-timefaculty members.
The school now has 98 full-time faculty members and 150part-time faculty membersteaching each term.
UCClermont, originallyCler-mont General and TechnicalCollege, opened its doors Mon-day, Sept. 25, 1972, with 97 full-
time and184 part-time students.During the 2011-2012 school
year, UC Clermont enrolled2,400 full-time students and1,471 part-time students.
Registrationprior to the startof the first class in1972was con-ducted at various off-campus lo-cations because the school’s solebuildingwas incomplete and themain road to campus, College
Drive, wasn’t finished.Patricia Scherer, one of the
first faculty members hired inthe first year of the school, re-members driving up Interstate275 to the campus, noting shepassed few cars and EastgateMall “was a big hill.”
Scherer said students beganflocking to the school, eventhough the campus’ only build-
ingwasn’t even completedwhenthe first semester began.
She said some of thewindowshad no glass and fixtures werehanging from the ceilings ofsome classrooms.
“Nothing was really in place,but we started,” Scherer said.
Sojka said while many thingsabout the school have changedin its 40 years, the foresight ofthose who founded the schoolhas remained intact.
“They had a vision that thiscommunity needed a college;that it would be part of this com-munity’s growth,” Sojka said.
Sojka said 40 years afteropening its doors, UC Clermontcontinues to welcome first-gen-eration college students eachfall and spring. He said that waspart of the original intent of the
school, and remains a focus.UC Clermont’s alumni con-
sist of school administrators,managers of local businessesand county commissioners.
“They’ve stayed here. This istheir home,” Sojka said. “I seeour students – past and present –in the supermarket, at church,at baseball games.”
Cindy Sproehnle attendedclass from 1973 at UC Clermontand graduated in 1975. She saidshe began working on her de-gree in part because her familyvalued education and also be-cause it was affordable.
The school was also close inproximity,whichwas evenmoreimportant when she was a stu-dent because traveling to themain University of Cincinnaticampus was prohibitive to someClermont County residents. Shelived so close to campus she ac-tually rodeher horse, “Spice,” toclass “once or twice.”
Sproehnle said her degreefrom UC Clermont allowed herto obtain a bachelor’s degreefrom Vanderbilt University andtwo master’s degrees from Xa-vier University.
UC Clermont is celebratingits past, but with an eye towardthe future. The school is offer-ing a new health informationtechnology program, which willprepare students to manage in-formation technology systemsin the health care field.
To assist in this new endeav-or, the school is leasing a 97,000-square-foot facility, which atone time was the Ford plant inBatavia Township, to offer thecourses.
The new facility, dubbed UCEast, will offer a bachelor of ap-plied administration degreealong with a UC Clermont’s al-liedhealthprograms, itsCollegeof Nursing, which offers a bach-elor’s degree in nursing and Col-lege of Education courses.
Dean Edith Peters was UC Clermont’s first dean, and the first female dean of a co-ed college in Ohio. PROVIDED

Recent Quality Care Therapy ReviewsPatricia B. was admitted to Mt. Washington Care Center after a fall at home.Initially fall x-rays did not show a fracture. After a few weeks with increased pain, Patreturned to the hospital and a second x-ray showed a fracture to her femur. Pat underwentsurgical repair, she had a screw fixation of the femoral neck performed by a physician inthe Wellington Orthopaedic Group. Upon arrival at Mt. Washington Care Center, Pat wasdependent on staff members to assist her with bathing, dressing and transferring fromwheelchair to bed and to her chair. Pat received physical and occupational therapy forapproximately six weeks. After her rehabilitation process, Pat was able to take care of allher personal needs from bathing and dressing to transfers. She was also able to progressfrom requiring the assistance from staff members to move herself to walking independentlywith a rolling walker over 250 feet, and getting in and out of bed and in and out of a carindependently. Pat is now home with her loving husband.
Vicki D. came to Mt. Washington Care Center with congestive heart failure after spendingtime at Drake Hospital for rehabilitation, which at the time was too intense for her totolerate. Vicki was on 2 liters of oxygen, unable to take care of her personal needs, andunable to walk more than 10 feet with oxygen and a rolling walker without stopping torest. Vicki received physical and occupational therapy for approximately four weeks. Afterthose four weeks of therapy, Vicki is now able to independently dress, bathe and sheis walking 250 feet with a cane and without the use of oxygen. With the support of herfamily and home care, Vicki returned home with her family. Good luck Vicki!
Jane L. chose to come to Mt. Washington Care Center after an accident at work whichresulted in a broken hip requiring joint replacement surgery. After approximately fiveweeks of receiving physical and occupational therapy, Jane was able to independentlytake care of all of her personal care needs. She was also able to walk independently witha rolling walker over 200 feet. Jane had to work through restrictions from her surgeonregarding weight bearing. Jane was able to apply compensatory techniques and useadaptive equipment with training from the therapists. After almost six weeks of therapyaddressing her ability to take care of her personal needs, her ability to walk, her standingand walking balance, Jane was able to return to her home and begin the retirement thatwas planned prior to her accident. Way to go Jane!

Yesterday I took dinnerto a friend who was ill. Iwanted to bring a dessert
for thefamilyalong withthe mealbut didn’thave a lotof time, so Idecided tomake ba-nana pud-ding. Nowusually Imake the
pudding from scratch, likea pastry cream, but thatwasn’t going to happenyesterday. So I carried inmy no-bake version and itwas a huge hit. Here’s therecipe for you to try.
Mom’s no-cook bestbanana puddin’
The “mom” in the titleis me. This heirloom reci-pe is an easy dessert thatthe little ones can helpwith and it tastes so good.You can double this recipefor a 9-inch by 13-inch pan.If you double the recipe,use the larger box (5 oz. orso) of pudding. I put minein a smaller casseroledish.
4 oz. cream cheese, softened½ cup sweetenedcondensedmilk (This ishalf of the 14 oz. can.Freeze the leftover milk.)
3.5 oz. package instantvanilla pudding
1½ cups milk1 tablespoonvanilla
2 cups whipping cream,sweetened to taste*,whipped and divided, or16 oz. whipped topping,thawed and divided
3 ripe bananas, sliced
About half a box of vanillawafers
Put cream cheese andcondensed milk in mixerand blend well. Whiskpudding mix into milk andvanilla, and blend untilsmooth. Add to creamcheese mixture. Blendwell and fold in half thewhipped cream orwhipped topping. Save theother half for garnish.
Make layers in casse-role dish:
Vanilla wafers, bananasand the pudding mixtureon top. Refrigerate at least1 hour before serving orup to 8 hours. Garnishwith whipped cream andmore wafers.
*To sweeten whippingcream: Stir in 1/4 cuppowdered sugar or moreto taste before whipping.
Tip from Rita’skitchen
Sprinkle cocoa powderor shaved chocolate on
top.Stir in a couple hand-
fuls of coconut into thepudding.
Make individual pud-dings in wine glasses.
Rita’s freezer pestoBasil is in season right
now. Make your own pestoand you’ll be happy youdid. This makes a niceamount and is better thananything you can buy. Plusless expensive in the longrun. A great topping forpizza, pastas, soups,breads. Fabulous dollopedon polenta that you’vecooked with a bit of garlicand Romano cheese. Pestois good on just about any-thing! Go to taste on gar-lic. Some people like toleave the cheese out andjust stir it in when thawing
out for a brighter flavor.
1 to 1½ teaspoons garlic,minced
¼ cup pine nuts, toasted ifdesired
½ stick unsalted butter½ cup parsley leaves4 cups basil leaves, packed1½ cups Parmesan cheese orto taste
½ to¾ cup extra virgin oliveoil
With food processor’smotor running, add garlicand nuts. Add everythingelse and process untilsmooth. Stays fresh inrefrigerator about a week.To freeze, either fill icecube tray sections orfreeze in plastic bags,laying them flat on top ofeach other.
Vegetarian blackbeans and rice(hopefully likeSkyline’s)
For the fellow wholoves Skyline’s vegetarianblack beans and rice. Ihope he likes this. I mighttoss in a shake or two ofchili powder too.
1 cup rice2 cans black beans, rinsedand drained
1medium to large onion,diced
2 large cloves garlic, minced½ to 1 teaspoon cumin½ teaspoon oregano or totaste
Salt to tasteCayenne pepper to taste orchopped jalapeño to taste
rice is cooking, sauté on-ion and garlic in a bit ofolive oil. Add beans, cuminand oregano. Cook untilheated through. Add saltand pepper to taste. Mixwith rice. Garnish as de-sired.

With new, improvedcell phones coming outeach year it’s no wondernearly 500 million phoneswere sold worldwide lastyear alone. But before youbuy a new wireless phoneyou need to know yourrights, just in case some-thing goes wrong.
Cathy Schweitzer ofAlexandria bought threenew phones for herselfand family earlier thisyear. She quickly noticedthere was a problem withthe phone she bought forherself – it would take too
long to turnon.
Schweit-zer says, “Itook it backon April 2and theysaid theproblemwas theway I washolding the
phone. That I was pressingthese two buttons, thevolume and the on-off atthe same time. ‘Don’t dothat,’ they said, ‘and thatshouldn’t happen.’”
But Schweitzer saysshe had even more prob-lems and returned to thecell phone store two moretimes in the first 12 daysshe had the phone. “Theysaid, ‘This is the way theandroid phones work.’Well, the other two phonesI purchased did not.” Shetold that to the cell phoneemployee but he would nottake the phone back.
A few weeks later,when she was back at thestore for another reason,Schweitzer again inquiredabout getting a new phone
to replace the one withwhich she’s continued tohave problems. This timeshe was told the 14-dayreturn policy had expired.
In the meantime,Schweitzer continued tohave billing problems. Herbill shows the companytried to correct it by giv-ing her a credit, but thesame charges also ap-peared on the new bills.
At one point, she says, asupervisor tried to fix thebilling issues but she sayshe made it worse. Schweit-zer says, “He increased
the data plans from $19.99to $24.99, so now I’m over-charged on those. I’m stillnot getting the credit, I’mstill being charged for thepromotional officers – andthe phone still doesn’twork.”
I contacted the cellphone company and thecharges on her bill werecorrected. In addition,she’s now getting a newcell phone free of charge.That’s something she saysshe had been trying to dofor months.
The big thing to re-
member when buying anew cell phone is to take itback to the store immedi-ately if there’s a problem.You usually only have alimited time, in this casejust 14 days, in which toget a replacement phoneor cancel the sale altogeth-er. After that time youmay be out of luck.

Howdy Folks;We finally got some
rain we had, according toour rain gauge, two inch-es. We woke up during theearly morning and heard itraining.I asked Ruth Ann,“Is that rain I hear?” Shesaid it sure is. What ablessing the rain cameslow and the ground reallyaccepted the moisture,thank the Good Lord.
We went to White OakValley Grange at Mowrys-town for their Grangepicnic. There was a goodgroup there with plenty ofgood food. The lecturerfromMonroe Grange,Bob, had a good program.Everyone enjoyed it. We
do this asan ex-changeprogram,they hadthe pro-gram atMonroe’spicnic inJuly.
Thepicnic was
held at the little park inMowrystown. It is a finepark, and is sure keptclean. It seems there is alot of use for the park. Thekids of the Grange sureenjoyed the swings andthey have a swing using atire. Claire sure enjoyedthis swing. She asked if we
had a tire to make a swingat their house for her. Wehad just taken our old tiresto Felicity the Fridaybefore, but Tony said hehad one and would get it tothem.
There was a seniorcitizens meeting at theiroffice. I have been on thisboard for several years, itis a privilege to be helpingthe seniors of ClermontCounty.
Ruth Ann was talkingto Pauline, and she saidour great grandson weighs9 pounds, 6 ounces, and isa good eater, and sleepsgood at night. We are soprivileged to have a fam-ily like we have. Paulineand Ralph celebrated 29years of marriage thisweek.

a.m. While we were upthat way we did someshopping for coffee, papergoods and other things.After the meeting there isalways a meal to enjoy.The big weedeater wehave had for severalyears, needed some work,so we had taken it to Dan,so he could fix it, on theway home we stopped andpicked it up, and of coursepaid him for the repairs/Thanks Dan.

Last Sunday afterchurch, Ruth Ann and Ihad the noon meal withDennie and Elaine atFrisch’s. This is always aspecial time to share withthis wonderful couple.
We saw an ad in thepaper for the new store onBeechmont that has re-cently opened, calledOllie’s. Well, we wentdown to see the store, andwhat a place. We wereimpressed.
Now I must writeabout, you know who,Chessy. This cat is such ablessing she waits in themorning for us to get up,when I open the kitchendoor, she is ready to comein. Last Monday in theafternoon, while we werewatching the news, Ches-sy was laying on the armof Ruth Ann’s chair. RuthAnn had made some ba-nana bread earlier, so shegot us some to eat. She hadput cream cheese on aslice, so she gave Chessy asmall piece and after sheate it she looked up atRuth Ann like, well, I needanother piece. Whateverwe are eating she will asusual eat it too.
Ruth Ann needed to goto the kitchen, so she putChessy on my lap. Shesnuggled on my arm andseemed to be very happy.When Ruth Ann made anoise, Chessy jumpeddown to see what she wasdoing, What a cat. Whilewe were doing Grangereports, Chessy layedunder our chairs.
Start your week bygoing to the house of wor-ship of your choice and
praise the Good Lord. GodBless All. More Later.
