CHANGESTo keep up with the changesfrom House Bill 59 the Milfordschool district is working toupdate its policies.Full story, A2
MIAMI TWP. — Additionalfunds must be appropriatedfor the police department tobuy16 replacement stunguns.
“(The) Taser (company) issaying they’reobsolete.We’vehad them long enough thatthey’ve cycled out,” said Po-lice Chief Steve Bailey.
The replacements were abudgeted item the depart-ment began looking at in thefall, and because no action hasbeen taken yet the price in-creased about $4,000, Baileysaid.
A previous proposal forstun guns was tabled by theBoard of Trustees to give thetownship’s law director timeto review and amend changesto the department’s use offorce policy.
Major changes that havenow been implemented to thepolicy includewhere to targetsomeone and what to do withmoving suspects, Bailey said.
“It used to be we weretrained not to target onlysomeone’s face or groin. Now,preferred targeting is in theback,” he said.
Officers also are no longertrained to stun moving sus-pects.
“Ifyou tasesomeonewho isrunning, what’s going to hap-pen? They’re going to fall onthe ground and bust theirteeth,” Bailey said.
The department also rede-fined what they call active re-sistance to mean “if we use a
Taser ...weneededtogaincon-trol of the suspect,” he said.
In addition to the depart-ment’s policy changes, stungunsthemselveshavebecomesafer, Bailey said.
“They now have automaticcycling so it shuts it off,” hesaid. “If an individual is work-ing on adrenaline, the devicewill shut off so a person getsthe shock needed to containthem - but not hurt them.”
Additional money for thestun guns will come from thedepartment’s“non-committedfunds.”
“These are reserve oremergency funds that werenot budgeted for a particularpurpose and are available forusewith the board of trustees’authorization,” said LarryFronk, township administra-tor, in an email.
Some of the old stun gunswill be traded in, and replace-ments will be purchased -along with holsters, ammo, atrainingmanual and extendedwarranty. The newequipmentwill cost taxpayers $20,664.
“Honestly, I’d rather seeTasers used than potentiallyshooting people,” said TrusteeMary Makley Wolff. “(Stunguns) can help control veryuncontrollable situations.”
In the past two years therewere six “use of force” re-ports involving stun guns.
“Werequireevery time (of-ficers) display it to be report-ed as a use of force,” Baileysaid.
Miami Township police want to purchase 16 stun guns to replaceoutdated equipment. The equipment will cost about $4,000 morethan originally budgeted.FILE ART
MIAMI TWP.—Children couldbe playing on new equipment atPaxton Ramsey Park as soon asNovember if trustees approveit.
Township Service DirectorMike Mantel recently present-ed a proposal to replace play-ground equipment at the parkbecause it no longer complieswith national standards.
“It’s beginning to show itsage and we’re having a hardtime now finding parts for it,”Mantel said.
The original equipment wasinstalled in1997, and its expect-ed life span was 15 years, hesaid.
Although it is maintained bythe service department and re-mains in decent shape, theequipment needs to be re-placed, Mantel said.
“When it was installed it wasstate-of-the-art, but industrystandards have changed overthe years,” he said.
For example, the spindlesholdinguphandrails on someofthe equipment aren’t broken,but they are spread out farenough its possible for a child tofall through.
“The swing sets are staying,everything else is being re-placed,” Mantel said.
Three different sets ofslides, a bridge, canopied fea-
tures and other equipment willbe added to the park.
If approved, the equipmentwill be installed by David Wil-liams and Associates, whichworkedwith the township on itsother parks.
Service department employ-eeswillhandleremovingtheex-isting play set and the finalphase of installing safetymulch, Mantel said.
The replacement and instal-lation of equipment will costtaxpayers about $38,000.
Mantel said he expects theproject to be completed some-time in November.
“This isagood timeofyear todo this,” he said. “One of thethings you really hate to do istake a play set away from an
area in theheight ofplaygroundactivity.”
KenTracy, township trustee,askedwhat the plans for the oldequipment are.
“We could easily reusemetalportions, but when we pull thematerial out of theground thereare going to be large chunks ofconcrete attached,” Mantelsaid. “Basically, when you takeit apart, pieceswill no longer beusable in they way they weredesigned.”
Trying to sell the equipmentat that stage could cause liabil-ity issues, he said.
“This is a pretty simple pro-ject, as far as our projects go -but the kids who utilize thatpark are really going to enjoyit,” Mantel said.
The swing set at Paxton Ramsey Park in Miami Township is staying, but the other playground equipment isgoing to be replaced if trustees approve a proposal from the service department. FILE ART
MILFORD — Eventhough House Bill 59 isknown as the budget billit’s impacted more thanjust budgets.
Yes, the bill changedthe funding formula forschools, but it alsochanged how schools ac-count for snow days, thelength of the school yearand more.
To keep up with all thechanges, the Milford Ex-empted Village SchoolDistrict Board of Educa-tion is working to updateits policies.
“Sometimes you canget too detailed,” saidMil-
ford Superintendent BobFarrell.
“Thepolicyshouldstaygeneral.”
Farrell said the schoolboard hasn’t updated itspolicies like this in theseven years he’s beenthere.
“On an individual basiswe review policy all thetime,” said Dave Yockey,president of the board.“(This update) will allowchanges to be made fast-er.”
The board’s PolicyCommitteemet with Ken-na Haycox, a policy con-sultant from the OhioSchoolBoardAssociation,to go through languageline by line and section by
section.The committeemet for
three hours recently, onlycompleting section I ofthe board’s policies.
“There’s a whole lot of
little changes,” Farrellsaid.
One of the biggerchanges is not in the poli-cies, but how they will bepresented.
Parents can find thecurrent policies on theBoard of Education pageon Milford’s website atmilfordschools.org.
When everything is up-datedandapprovedbytheboard, new software willmake it easier to searchthrough - something that’scaused residents prob-lems in the past, Farrellsaid.
“We’re hoping to pre-sent (the updated policy)at the October boardmeeting,” he said.
Before that, the boardis expected to approve acertain section of the pol-icy regarding home-schooled students at itsSeptember meeting.
House Bill 59 allowsstudents who are home-schooled to participate inextracurricular activitiesataschoolwhentheyarearesident of the district.The law used to requirestudents to at least takepart-time classes at aschool to be eligible.
The change also allowsstudents without anequivalent program attheir school to participatein another school’s extra-curricular activity with-out being a resident, Far-rell said.
“Someone could comeplay on our water poloteam, for example, if theydidn’t have a teamat theirschool,” he said.
The eligibility changesaren’t limited to sports,and the board is tweakingits policies so it will be incompliance with statelaw, Farrell said.
“The lawwas passed attheendofJune,but it goesinto effect Sept. 29,” hesaid. “Most people don’tknowawhole lot about it.”
The school board isscheduled to meet Thurs-day, Sept. 19 at Meadow-view Elementary at 6:45p.m.

BATAVIA — The Cler-mont County MentalHealth and RecoveryBoard is continuing itssuicide-prevention ef-forts, with a focus on at-risk teenagersduringSu-icide Prevention Week.
The Clermont CountyCommissioners namedSept. 8 through 14 Sui-cide Prevention Week inClermont County, coin-ciding with the nationaleffort by the AmericanAssociation ofSuicidology.
Dr. Lee Ann Watson,the Mental Health and
Recovery Board’s asso-ciate director, said thecounty’s efforts havechanged since it formedthe Suicide PreventionCoalition in 2003.
In 2007, there weretwo youth suicides inClermont County, but thecounty reported eight in2008 and five in 2009.
“Since 2003, our focushas been on youth suicid-es,”Watson, chairwomanof the Suicide PreventionCoalition, said.
“But in 2009 we saw ahuge jump in suicidesand began focusing onprevention efforts formiddle-aged residents,and older adults.”
There were 39 suicid-es recorded in 2009,which Watson attributesto the economic reces-sion she said put adultsmore at risk.
“If one person com-mits suicide there’s ahigher risk others will doit,” she said.
“We change our cam-paign based on the needsof the community.”
The county also oper-ates a 24-hour crisis hot-line and has aMobile Cri-sis Team of medical andmental health profes-sionals.
Crisis Team opera-tions include respondingto disaster situations like
the 2012Moscow tornadotragedy as well as suicid-es.
“The hotline has field-ed 10,000 plus calls – ap-proximately 800 fromsuicidal or concernedpeople,” said RachelBayer, crisis hotline co-ordinator.
October will mark 10years of operation for thehotline, and Bayer saidshe is proud the team hasbeen able to engage in avast majority of the situ-ations it has faced.
Clermont County had30 suicides committed in2012 and there have been21 to date this year, with-in county boundaries.

BATAVIA — ClermontCounty received one bidfor its ShaylerRun sewer-replacement project.
The company’s bid is$142,997 higher thanCler-mont County EngineerPatrick Manger’s esti-mate.
“Likely our recom-mendation will be to re-ject the bid,” said LyleBloom, utilities directorfor the Clermont CountyWater Resources Depart-ment.
“Wewillmake anynec-essary adjustments to theplans ... and rebid the pro-ject.”
The project would in-stall a 24-inch connectingsewage line under stateRoute 32, said Kevin Kap-
pers, projectmanager forthe Water Resources De-partment.
“The sewer pipe is con-necting to a recent trunk-sewerpipe installedacou-ple years ago.”
Traffic along the high-way shouldn’t be affectedby the work because itwill be under the road.

BATAVIA — Companiesbidding to repair thecounty’s water andwaste-water treatment facilitiesand perform electricalmaintenance were reject-ed by Clermont CountyCommissioners Wednes-day, Aug. 28, for being tooexpensive.
Hilvert & Pope Elec-tric Inc, ofCincinnati, andGlenwood Electric Inc.both bid more than 10percenthigher thanCoun-ty Engineer Patrick Man-ger’s $78,000 estimate.
“We’ll be back to hope-fully to request to rebidthat andwe’re going to re-vise the specificationsand hopefully keep itwithin its originial bud-get,” said Lyle Bloom, di-rector of utilities in theClermont County WaterResources Department.
Hilvert & Pope bidmore than$147,000 for the
project and Glenwoodmore than $117,000.
Although there areways to accept bids ex-ceeding estimates bymore than 10 percent,Bloom said he had neverseen a bid outside thethreshold accepted.
“It’s in the code that ifit’s above the engineer’sestimate then we have tomake special procedure –either reject it or do otherthings,” said Ed Hum-phrey, Clermont CountyCommissioner.
No timetable is set forthe county to ask for an-other round of bids.
Commissioners alsovacated a small tract ofland in Union Township.
A 64.94-foot parcel atthe end of White Streetjust offMt.CarmelTobas-co Road near an I-275 exitramp in the township thatseparated two portions ofDreamscapes Nurseries.
Dean Goering, ownerof the nursery, said the
landwill help his businessby making it easier forcustomers to turn aroundand give him more spaceto display trees.
“It has been a longprocess forme, but UnionTownship and ClermontCounty have been im-mensely helpful in theprocess.”
Goering opened hisnursery in 1999 and it hasgrown from a 40-tree dis-play to having more than300.
“If there is no publicpurpose for property andsomeone petitions us tovacate it we will,” Hum-phrey said.
Goering also plans togo theUnionTownship of-ficials in hopes of beingable toexpandhisparkinglot.

MILFORD — He calls himselfa math and science guy, but canhit you with some spelling.
Milford High School seniorThomas Moore knows, for ex-ample, neither the homonymcollege across the river – northe saint for whom it is named –has the second O his surnamecontains.
Andwhile ThomasMorewasdepicted in “AMan For All Sea-sons,” Thomas Moore is a busyman in the fall season.
For the last two autumnsMoore not only has played mid-field for the Eagles soccerteam, but also done double dutyas a kicker and punter for thefootball squad.
Which makes head footballcoach Shane Elkins happy.
“He’s just such a good kid,”Elkins said during the presea-son. “Weworkwith him, accom-modate his schedule, becausehe’s the kind of kid, the kind ofleader, youwant tohaveonyourteam.
“One of the big things we’vebeen trying to change has beenthe culture of winning. Footballtraditionhaskindof lost itsway.We’ve got a core of playerswithsome experience and leader-ship, who play smart football.That’s Thomas.”
He’s smart enough to haveearned an appointment to theU.S. Naval Academy next year,where he will play soccer andstudy engineering.
“Both my parents are in themilitary, so it kind of makessense,” Moore said. “I reallylike that the school is math- andscience-based. A degree fromthere is what the kind of thingthat will get you a good job.What they’re teaching – integri-ty, leadership – is everything an
employer is looking for.”Trying to figure out his colle-
giate future before the appoint-ment led Moore to the gridiron.
“With just playing soccer Iwas kind of worried about notgetting a scholarship offer,”Moore said. “Football kickersget some decent offers andwhen Coach Elkins came andasked the soccer team if anyonewas interested in kicking, Ithought I’d give it a shot.”
He’s learned kicking a roundball is considerably differentthan putting a foot to an oblongone.
“Being a soccer player hasits pros and cons as a punter,”Moore said. “In punting it’s avery straight leg, which is real-ly different, because in soccerit’s more rounded. Kickoffs aremore like soccer.”
Moore notched three touch-backs among his first five kick-offs in the first twogamesof theseason. The Eagles improved to2-1 Sept. 13 with a 38-26 winagainst Schroeder, already dou-bling their win total from lastseason.
“The running back and forthbetween fields isn’t the mostfun, but it’s worth it,” Mooresaid. “I like both sports and Ilike getting to play both ofthem.”

RESULTS
KENWOOD—Mostwidereceivers who catch 30passes for 358 yards andfour touchdowns as a ju-nior would probablyspend the following sum-mer catching more to besharp for their senioryear.
Not Moeller HighSchool’s Gus Ragland. Af-ter his innings on themound ended as a pitcherfor Moeller’s Division Ichampionship baseballsquad, Ragland was off tofootball camps to playwithout receiving gloves.
Though he had out-standing year on Moell-er’s state title footballgame receiving passes,he’s been throwing themsince he was in the firstgrade. His first two yearsas a Crusader were alsospent at quarterback.
Because Moeller hadSpencer Iacovone back,coach John Rodenbergmoved the 6-foot-3, 200-poundRagland towideoutfor his junior year.
“It was a lot different,”Ragland said. “There’s alot more responsibility atquarterback. Playing re-ceiver was enjoyable. Ithelpedmeunderstandmyreceivers a little bitmore.”
For the Crusaderscoaching staff, movingRagland back simplifiedtheir 2013 offense. Like achess board, Moellermoved their pieces.
The blue and gold re-loadedwithNo.14atquar-terback, speedstersChase Pankey and IsaiahGentry at receiver and a6-foot-5 Jake Hausmann,who looks like your proto-typical Moeller ruggedtight end.
“We thought going intothis year that Gus wasvery similar to Spencer(Iacovone) sowe knewwecould keep the same
scheme,”Rodenbergsaid.“We knew he needed a lit-tle bit of experiencethrowing the football, buthe’s a leader and a leaderin the school.”
Thus far, Pankey, Gen-try, seniors Jack Gruberand Jamie Rieger and thesophomore Hausmannhave been rifled the ballfrom Ragland. In theopeneragainst Indianapo-lis Pike, the red-headwiththe rubber arm foundPankey in the finalminutefor the win.
“With the talent wehave at wide receiver, wefeel we can go deep a lot,”Ragland said. “It was agreat play call. I wentback and let the ball goand my teammate made agreat play.”
Ragland followed thatwith a dismantling of Co-vingtonCatholic going 20-25 for a pair of touch-downs.
“We took an approachwhere we were workingon our pass game allweek,” Ragland said. “Wewent out and let loose.We’re just trying to getbetter at little things ev-ery week.”
Rodenberg thinks theyear at wide receiverhelped Ragland in hittinghis routes. He also admitsthat he doesn’t mindchucking the ball, even ifthe statue of Gerry Faustlooksonat everypractice.
“We want to (throw),”Rodenberg said. “We gotsort of locked with Keith(Watkins) last year. Weweren’t throwing effi-ciently. This year we’rekind of forcing ourselvesto do it.”
In baseball, Ragland’sdeveloped a unique habit
of following through sohard that his hat falls offof his head. Fortunately,the football Crusadersheadgear contains a strapso Ragland’s kept his“head about him” in moreways thanone this season.
“Thank goodness, be-cause then he’d have tocome out a play,” Roden-berg said.

McNick takes Hensley’s final ‘Hill’ANDERSON TWP. —
When Mel Brooks said it,it was a joke, but it reallyis good to be the king.
Ask PGA Master Pro-fessional Geoff Hensley,who has crowned manyroyals during the King ofthe Hill golf tournamentpitting Anderson, McNi-cholas and Turpin highschools at ColdstreamCountry Club.
Hensley,whostartedatColdstream in 1986, re-tires from the club at theendof this season.Hepre-sided over his final Kingof the Hill Sept. 11.
“It’s community; that’swhat this is about,” Hen-sley said. “I’ve had itcome back to me manytimes over from all threeschools - players, parents,coaches. It’sagreatevent.It’s kind of bittersweet,this being the last one forme. I think it’s been an as-set to the community.
“There’s always beenthe rivalry between theschools, but this different
because there aren’tmany sports where allthree can go head to headat the same time. It’s spe-cial.
“I’ve been fortunateenough to have been partofwhat Iconsider thebestclub in thecity.This is justa chance for me to give alittle something back tothe schools. I’m just amentor, a stepping stone,parent, coach. You knowpros.Wewearmanyhats -lawyers, officials, every-thing.”
McNick head coachJustin Lenczicki enjoyedhis first go-round at theKing of the Hill in nosmall part because histeam won. The Rocketsscored a 158 to beat run-ner-up Turpin (169) andAnderson (173). McNickfreshman Chris Dunnewas medalist with a one-over 37 on the front nine.
“The senior parentsdefinitely let me knowthis was a showcase,”Lenczicki said. “I let thekids pick the lineups andthey started some seniorswho aren’t necessarily
our top guys, but it’s im-portant for them to get toplay this event one lasttime. They love it somuch.
“They’re attitudes are
unbelievable. They playtogether sowell, trust oneanother.Theysaid ‘Coach,we’re not losing this.’ Iwas very proud of them.”
Even in defeat, it was a
memorable event for theother participants.
“It’s something thekids look forward to,” saidAnderson head coach Da-vid Lunn. “Outside of the
league and the sectionals,this is the most importantmatch we play.
“Geoff does a great jobmaking these guys feelspecial. A lot of times ju-niors get the opposite ofthat, that they’reapain, soit’s great to have some-body like Geoff, who real-ly treats them well andmakes themwelcome.”
First-year Spartanhead coach David Priceagreed.
“The pro here does itthe exact way it should bedone,” he said. “It’s donewith class. This kind of asetting really will helpthem for the bigger tour-naments and when theyplay in college.”
Music to Hensley’sears.
“Golf is a gentleman’sgame,” he said. “I’ve triedto keep it friendly. The re-spect that I see on the golfcourse between theseplayers and coaches isgreat. When they walkaway from here, I wantthem to think they’ve hada goodday,whether or notthey scored well.”
The McNicholas High School golf team won the King of the Hill golf tournament Sept. 11,beating neighborhood rivals Turpin and Anderson at Coldstream Country Club.

Staying upright is a better ideaA cold January morning
greeted me as I opened thedoor. I quickly tucked myhands into my coat pockets onthe way to the post office.
As I approached the streetcorner I looked up at the bigclock, realizing I needed tohurry. At the bus stop a groupof ladies sat on the bench talk-ing. They did not notice me.
I picked up my pace as myattention quickly turned to theNational Exemplar. I alwaysloved the small town feel as Iwalked along this street.
What I did not see thatmorning was the most impor-tant thing: the uneven brickrising above the otherwiselevel sidewalk. The next thing
I remember,and will neverforget, was thefeeling of myhead crashingonto the con-crete below,chin first,flattening mynose and bend-ing my neckback.
At first, noone offered to help and I won-dered if I could even walkhome. A lady driving by, hav-ing seen my fall, stopped to askif I needed help and offered totake me to the emergencyroom.
By then the gash on my chin
was bleeding profusely. Igrabbed the white scarf frommy neck and pressed it to mychin, hoping not to stain hercar upholstery.
In the emergency room,while the nurse kindly washedmy stained scarf, the doctorexplained my injuries andstitched up the cut chin (itwent to the bone).
Later, my broken nose re-quired a two-hour surgery toput it back together. The sur-geon said it looked like an eggwith over 100 cracks.
The cracked tooth pieceswere extracted by a dentalsurgeon. My face turned fromblack to blue to yellow over theweeks.
These problems, and more,came about simply because myhands were in my pocketswhen my foot stubbed theuneven brick, leaving me un-able to stop the fall.
When talking about a badfall, sadly mymother-in-lawcomes to mind. Carrying gro-ceries from the store, she felland hit her head when the side-walk sloped suddenly for anentrance to a driveway. AirCare efforts failed to save herfrom a blood clot to the brain.
A few reminders to helpstay upright:
Never take an escalatorwithout holding on – they canjam and send you flying. Whentaking the stairs, always hold
the railing. If no railing, leanclose to the wall for support.
Watch for sidewalks withhandicap entries – some side-walks slope suddenly causing aloss of balance. When you stepoff the sidewalk to the parkinglot, realize some roads arelower than others, leaving youfalling in mid-air.
Watch for the barriers alongthe sidewalk in front of yourcar. You can trip on them.
In other words, pay atten-tion to where you are going.
Walking is a wonderfulpastime. Don’t be cheated by afall.

Ohio’s New State Budget forFiscal Year’s 2014 and 2015negatively affects local com-munities in three ways:
First, it is providing $95million less in local aid over thenext two years when comparedto the 2012-2013 budget, and $1billion less when compared tothe 2010-2011 budget.
Second, is the loss of theestate tax. This provided $625million to communities over thelast two years. This money willnot be available in the future.
Third, the state has startedto get rid of the local propertytax rollback on new levies.
This means that when a localcommunity passes a levy fromnow on the state will no longergive back 12.5 percent of thenewmoney to local communi-ties.
Miami Township has beenfaced with revenue loses since2009 when the economy took a
turn for theworse.
Not only hasproperty val-ues declinedwhichmeansless revenuefrom propertytaxes, but wehave also beenfaced withreductionsfrom the state
of Ohio as outlined above.We have been able to over-
come these obstacles for tworeasons. The township hasalways carried ample cashreserves, which has been a lifesaver these past few years.
In addition we practicestrong budget and expensecontrols. Just because an itemis in the budget does not insurethe money will be spent.
All large purchases must beapproved by the trustees be-
fore the money is spent.Even with the loss of reve-
nue described above, MiamiTownship has not reduced ser-vices to its citizen’s thanks inpart to the many dedicatedemployees on the payroll.
I am amazed at howwell ouremployees stretch a dollar andstill get the job done.
I hope the citizens of MiamiTownship appreciate the manywonderful things that we haveto offer.
To name a few, we have agreat park system, a modern-ized road network, a beautifulgateway entrance, andmanytrained professional employeeson the payroll.
These things did not happenby themselves. It took strongleadership and a vision for thefuture to make this happen.

Last week’s questionShould local high schools have
American IndiannicknamesoruseAmerican Indian mascots. Why orwhy not?
“This is a simple question forme. I have adeep respect and af-fection for Native Americans. Ihave lived near reservations,had Native American friendsand learned about the cultureand the present day challenges.
“However, I had a child thatgraduated from Anderson (Red-skins) High School and spentmany timeson football andbase-ball fields yelling "Go, Red-skins!" It seems tome that thereare so many names in the Eng-lish dictionary that certainly ev-ery high school and college inthis country could select a non-Native American name andbuild loyalty and competitionaround it.
“In business and even non-profit organizations, nameschange all the time. It can be funto celebrate a new name. Let'ssupport our schools in develop-ing new names that don't disre-spect Native American tribesand culture."
E.E.C.
“Onlyschool teamslocatedonreservation lands should be al-lowed to use traditional NativeAmericannames.MiamiUniver-sity even changed its mascot toRedhawkssometimeagoforthisreason.
“American settlers and sol-diers stole the whole continentfrom Native Americans; it isn'ttoo much to ask to allow nativepeople the cultural dignity ofchanging offensive, stereotypi-cal names.
“Peoplewill trytoarguethatanew name doesn't reflect heri-tage accurately; well, that's thesame argument used by racistsin the South who preserve theConfederate flag.”
TRog
“Syria, Common Core, Oba-
maCare, Quantitative Easing,Benghazi, Hillary 2016 ... Thinkthe country has more importantthings to worry about. Go Red-skins!”
L.D.
“NativeAmericannicknamesand mascots have been aroundfor at least a century. When anyschool chooses a mascot thechoice is always made for per-sons or objects that are easilyrecognized as symbols for qual-itiestobeadmiredandemulated.Native Americans are no excep-tionwhether theyareSeminoles,Braves, Redskins, Warriors, Illi-ni, Eskimos, Indians, Black-hawks, Aztecs, etc.
“According topersonalonlineresearch several years ago, theonly opposition comes from asmall modern activist groupknown to pressure schools,teams and similar organizationswith their only goal being theiracceptance of large sums ofmoney to be quiet and go away.
“SofarIhaveneverheardofaschool choosing to be known asthe Fighting Boneheads or OhioBirdbrains. Are churches of-fended by the New OrleansSaints? How about the FightingIrish?"
R.V.
“Our society is becoming toopolitically correct and over sen-sitive. I am not sure why it is soderogatory to use the Indian as amascot- strength, bravery, ath-leticism, etc.
“None of these terms suggestweakness, failure or shame. Yetif we use anything other than aninanimateobjectorananimalwerun the risk of offending some-one.
“Reminds me of the publicgrade school my kids went to inanother large city – we couldn'tcelebrate St. Patrick's Day inschool unless it was referred toasGreenDay.NoChristmaspar-ty just a red and green holidayparty.
“Geez, give me a flippin'break!!! Get a life. We can't pro-tect our kids from everythingonemightfindoffensive,alienornot of their custom.
“Lifeis,afterall, terminal–noone gets out alive. Deal with it.”
T.J.
“Yes, until they get rid of theWashington Redskins or changeIndian Hill to Red Hawk Moun-tain!”
D.J.H.
“Disrespect to American In-dians for sure. But more impor-tantly, this is thevital questionoftheweek from the new nearmo-nopoly of the papers in Cler-mont? You have got to be kid-ding.
“How about this: Is it treasonto collaborate on InaugurationDay to bring down the presiden-cy (show disrespect) of the new-ly elected black president? I saydarn close.
“But like American Indians,Obama earned his disrespect bybeing born, unlike Bush, whoearnedhis byhis nowreviled ac-tions. I know I’ll never see thiscomment in the paper.”
M.O.
“This has been tossed aroundfor years as proper or improperuse. Schools teach what, Ameri-can History? What is included,the American Indian.
“The pilgrims to the move-ment west of settlers the booksin our schools and libraries edu-cate us of our American heri-tage.
“Citizensof ourgreat countryneed to quit carrying their softfeelingson their shoulders.Basi-cally, grow up.”

SEPTEMBER 18, 2013 • CJN-MMA • B3LIFE
For years it was like agray culinary cloud overmy head. I called it piecrust envy. Mymomwas
the first totry toteach meto make aflaky andtender piecrust.“Just don’toverworkthe dough,use a lighthand,” shetold me. At
the time I read some-thing in a cookbook thatsaid “work the short-ening into the flour untilit’s all the size of smallpeas.” So I tried to do justthat. The crust rolled outeasily and I baked what Ithought was the mostbeautiful apple pie in theworld.
I took it to our churchkitchen for bingo and I’llnever forget the look onRuth Haglage’s face asshe tried to cut into thecrust. She sawed andsawed at that crust andfinally broke through. Iwas so embarrassed.Ruth knew I was a novicepie baker and told me notto worry, that the fillingwas delicious and thecrust was OK.
After that disaster,every time I made piecrust by hand I was filledwith anxiety. Then I metPerrin Rountree. Perrinis an Anderson Townshipreader and excellentSouthern cook and baker.She worked with me atmy cooking school atMcAlpin’s. Perrin sharedher recipe for pie crustwith a secret ingredient.That was years ago andthe crust has never letme down. No more piecrust envy!
Perrin Rountree’sno-fail pie crust
You’ll think you’re incooking class with thesedetailed instructions, butthey are worth following.
1⁄4 teaspoon salt1 cup Crisco shortening,chilled (I use Crisco sticks)
1⁄2 cup ice cold water
Whisk together dryingredients. Cut short-ening into 1⁄2-inch pieces.Scatter over flour mix-
ture and, using a fork orpastry blender, cut short-ening into flour untilmixture resemblescoarse crumbs with somelarge pieces remaining(about the size of peas –yes, it will work!). This iswhat will give you flaki-ness. Sprinkle half thecold water over and stirand draw flour with forkfrom bottom to top, dis-tributing water evenly.Add more water untildough is moist enough tohold together when youroll a little bit into a ball.I usually use up all thewater. Divide in half andshape into two balls.Flatten balls into rounddisks. I like to refriger-ate dough anywherefrom 30 minutes to over-night, but that’s not nec-essary. (You can alsofreeze the dough for acouple of months, thaw-ing in refrigerator beforeusing). Roll out on lightlyfloured surface fromcenter out. I sprinkle abit of flour on top of thedough so it doesn’t stickto the rolling pin, or youcan skip flour and roll itout between wax orparchment paper. Rollinto a circle inches widerthan pie plate.
Tip from Rita’skitchen
Yes, you can use thefood processor, too. Justuse the pulse button.
Rita’s pecan pieI use dark corn syrup.
Light corn syrup gives a“softer” flavor. Check outmy blog for chocolatepecan pie.
Crust for one pie3 large eggs, beaten untilfoamy
1 cup sugar2 tablespoons butter,melted
1 cup corn syrup, dark orlight
11⁄2 teaspoons vanilla1 heaping cup pecans,halved or chopped
Preheat oven to 350degrees. Beat eggs, sug-ar, butter, syrup andvanilla well with whisk.Stir in nuts. Pour intocrust. Bake 45-55 min-utes or until toothpickinserted in center comesout fairly clean. Checkafter 45 minutes. Pie willbe puffed and golden andjiggle a bit in the center
but that’s OK. Cool acouple of hours beforeserving.

The Fraternal Order of Ea-gles Loveland Aerie 3006 host-ed its second annual “Christ-mas in July” to support two ofCincinnati’s finest charitableorganizations.
The all-day event raisedmore than $13,000. Proceedsraised will be donated to theRuth Lyons Children’s Fundand Cincinnati Children’s Hos-pital Medical Center. The clubalso collected more than 100new, unwrapped toys for theChild Life Activity Center atCincinnati Children’s HospitalMedical Center.
The day began with break-fast and a poker/toy run by theEagle Riders, and was followedby live music, raffles and food.The “Santa Band” played at3:30, followed by a visit from
Santa andMrs. Claus, who gaveall children in attendance anearly Christmas gift.
CCHMC’s Champions fam-ily, the Chesnuts from Milford,paid an afternoon visit withNo-ra and Katie. Even before NoraChesnut was born, her parentsknew there was somethingwrong. Emily Chestnut wascarrying twins, and at her 20-week ultrasound, doctors dis-covered one twin had a heartdefect.
TheChesnuts learned todealwith that. It was fixable. But atbirth, they learned somethingelse:Nora, the twinwhohad theheart defect, also had Downsyndrome. Katie, the othertwin, had no complications.
“Getting the diagnosis of achild with Down’s syndrome is
life-changing,” Emily Chesnutsays. In some ways, it has beena blessing. It has changed herperspective on life, parenthoodand what it means to be a fam-ily.
This event signifieswhat theFraternal Order of Eagles is allabout. The club’s motto is “Peo-ple Helping People” and thatwas quite evident throughoutthe day.
“It takes a group effort tohost an event of this nature, andwe want to thank our Eaglemembers, as well as local busi-nesses and the public for sup-porting the club,” event orga-nizer Lori Murphy said.
