tinue to run gaps (in cover-age) like we are right now.”

The mayor said therealso could be layoffs in thepolice department if vot-

ers don’t pass a levy orcouncil doesn’t adopt an in-come tax like many neigh-boring communities have.The police chief has saidthe department is alreadybelow full staffing andcan’t do much more otherthan respond to calls.

“I don’t want to makethat sound like a threat,”Ausman said. “It’s just afact. If we don’t have themoney, we’re not allowedto deficit spend. We’re notthe federal government.We can’t just do that. So ifthe funding’s not there, thestate won’t allow us to be indeficit spending. That’sjust the way it’s going tohave to be.”

Some on Bethel VillageCouncil have said they sup-port a levy because theybelieve residents shouldhave a chance to vote onthe issue. Others havecharacterized the pro-posed police levy as a stopgap, adding council willhave to go back to votersfor more money when thestreet levy expires at theend of 2016.

Until then, a 100-footsection of the 5300 blockof the Clermont County-maintained road in Mi-ami Township will re-main closed. The dam-aged section is just northof U.S. 50.

“We applied for emer-gency funding, and wereceived a grant fromthe Ohio Public WorksCommission,” Mangersaid Wednesday. He add-ed the emergency fund-ing from the state willcover 75 percent of thecost of the $300,000 pro-ject, and the county willcover the other 25 per-cent.

Manger said a con-tractor has been hiredand was scheduled tostart repairing the dam-aged road on April 20.

“The type of workwe’re doing, the weatheris only going to affect usat the very end when wedo the pave,” Mangersaid. “So unless there’sthunder and lightning,there shouldn’t be a prob-lem. Our goal is to have itback open within a monthfrom the time we start.”

Homemade cinnamon rolls are a delectable treat for mom.

4. Add and stir into the flour mixtureMilk/yeast mixture

5. Add an additional 1 to 1-1/2 cups flourand mix well.

6. Knead dough for 8 minutes.7. Place dough in an oiled bowl; cover

Myrtle’s crab cakes

Talking about another “mom with influence,” this recipe fromfriend, Perrin Rountree is an heirloom favorite. Perrin is an An-derson Township reader and wonderful cook.

“Family is everything to me,” she said. I remember fondly herstories of her Grandma, Myrtle, which were always connected withfood. Try this when you want a delicious and easy crab cake. Perrintold me her Grandma Myrtle’s strength and love of family sustainsher every day. “Hers was a gentle but firm love. We knew with justa look when we were behaving poorly, and with that same look wealso knew how much we were loved.”

Well said! As with all heirloom recipes, there can be variables.Like the saltines. You may need more than the recipe says, or youmay not. You want to be able to have the crab cake be nicely

formed and keep its shape but not be dry.

1 pound lump crabmeat4-5 shakes TabascoSalt and pepper to taste4-5 crushed saltines or few more if necessary1 egg, beaten2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoningFresh chopped parsley (opt)

Place crabmeat in bowl. Add other ingredients and mix lightly.Shape into 4 patties. Heat oil in heavy skillet. Over medium heat, fryuntil golden brown on both sides. Serve with extra Tabasco and tartarsauce or your favorite seafood sauce.

A publication of

April 30 questionWas Reds manager Bryan Price

right about what he said aboutmedia coverage hurting histeam? What is the media’s role incovering local sports franchises?

“Bryan Price was totally offbase in what he said about themedia coverage. The mediaisn’t there to be a friend of theteam and only cover good news,or put news out when the teamwants it, that would be a pressrelease, that the team controls.

“The media is there to coverthe team. He may (be upset) theinformation wasn’t released theway it was, but the reality is thatit was. Instead of responding towhat he wished hadn’t hap-pened he should have been ma-ture enough to address whathappened in an adult manner.

“He can take his concernsabout the local media to theReds upper management andthey can devise a strategy inhow they relate or release infor-mation to the media.

“The media’s job is to report,not make sure the team, man-ager or a specific player is hap-py. It was embarrassing interms of the content of his rantand it also made it look like hewasn’t ready to be a majorleague manager, which may bethe case. “

C.S.

“This is kind of like answer-ing that age old most dangerousquestion: Do these pants makemy butt look fat? Therefore no,

Price was wrong blaming themedia coverage for hurting histeam, his team’s performance ishurting his team. What part ofthis is so hard to understand?”

M.J.F.

“If a manager etc... wants tokeep some information from be-ing disseminated he needs totell the reporters it is ‘off therecord.’ I would hope the localReds reporters would respectthat wish. But in this day of pa-parazzi and social mediascoops, Price should assume theinformation will get out. Hischoice of foul language to com-plain about it was ridiculous.

“Keep in mind Reds Hall ofFame reporter Hal McCoy wasthe one who leaked the BrandonPhilips ‘hating the St. Louis Car-dinals.’ That led to quite an al-tercation a few years ago. Ofcourse that was when the Redsmade the playoffs under DustyBaker three times, yet he wasfired. Manager Price and GMWalt Jocketty will be gone by

year end. Go Figure!!!T.D.T.

“Sorry, never heard of him.Unfortunately, we don’t have asports franchise. The closest

one in in Columbus. Maybe nextyear, Blue Jackets. A bunch ofyour veterans are on the Rang-ers.”

Reds manager Bryan Price is interviewed by Cincinnati media during springtraining.

A swimmer with shoulderpain is a common sight in thesport. With few exceptions,shoulder pain in a swimmerwill be an overuse injury,meaning it builds over timewith continuous irritationfrom the same repeated mo-tions.

This happens for a fewreasons:

» The shoulder is the mostmobile joint in the body.

» The mechanics of swim-ming require lots of motion atthe shoulder joint.

» With increased motion inthe joint comes less stabilityof that joint.

» A swimmer can exceed2,000 strokes for one shoulderin a single workout.

A few simple tricks can goa long way to keeping shoul-der pain from getting to be aninjury that keeps the swim-mer from the pool.

The first thing to checkwhen your swimmer comes toyou with shoulder pain is theirposture. The nature of swim-ming workouts gives a swim-mer very developed pectoralmuscles, which they need forstroke efficiency and speed.This can cause those musclesto pull where they attach onthe arm and can give a swim-mer a rounded shoulder ap-

pearance, meaning that theshoulders are coming forwardwhen at rest. Posture like thiscan pinch important struc-tures in the shoulder, partic-ularly in the anterior portion,which are already more vul-nerable. It will also affectstructures in the back, whichare being stretched and weak-ened by this posture.

To fix this, have them focuson straightening up as if astring were being pulled fromthe torso through the top ofthe head. Roll your shouldersback to an even position oneither side of your body. Noneed to throw them back over-ly far or puff your chest out,just keep them back in linewith the rest of your body.

In conjunction with thechance in posture, you need tofocus on the scapular stabiliz-ers, the muscles that work inbetween and around the shoul-der blades. These muscles areoften weak and cannot func-tion properly without someattention.

When practicing good pos-ture, you can feel those mus-cles fire up. An exercisecalled scap squeezes can workthem even more. While inyour good posture position,pretend you are trying tosqueeze a penny between your

shoulder blades by squeezingthose muscles, leaving yourarms by your side. Hold thesqueeze for five seconds, thenrelease.

Both of these techniquescan be used throughout theday while your swimmer is atschool. Practicing good pos-ture and scap squeezes canreduce a number of shoulderproblems by introducing prop-er position and body mechan-ics. Pain in the shoulder maybe common in swimming, butthat does not mean they haveto push through it . There aremodifications and optionsavailable to keep them fromdoing making things worse.

At Cincinnati Children'sSports Medicine department,we want to do everything wecan to keep your child in thewater as much as possible.There are resources availablefor you and your swimmer,and we invite you to contactus with any questions or con-cerns at 513-803-4878.

Good swimming posturehelps avert shoulder pain It’s a shame that many

Western leaders, includingPresidentObama, willnot attendthe May 9Victory Dayparade inMoscowmarking the70th anniver-sary of theend of WorldWar II inEurope.

Seventy years has notpatched relations betweenRussia and its wartime Allies– the United States, Britainand France – who bandedwith the USSR to fight Hit-ler’s Germany but alignedwith it on little else.

Seventy years post-war,hostility raging over theUkraine crisis in no waydiminishes the suffering ofthe Soviet Union’s peoplefrom 1941 to 1945. A stagger-ing 27 million of them died inthe war, more than half civil-ians, a striking number jux-taposed with 300 thousandAmericans dead.

Everyone in the formerUSSR knows wartime sto-ries, says Valentina Kazache-nok of Minsk, in Belarus, 70years ago a Soviet republicwhere one in four peopledied in the war. Hearingthese stories, “one cannotremain indifferent,” shesays.

She offers the story of hergrandmother, with her new-born the only survivors afterGerman troops shot all otherresidents of her village.

“Not everyone today un-derstands the true cost ofthese horrifying events,”said Zumrud Kerimova, a20-something in Dagestan.She worries that young peo-ple do not appreciate themagnitude of wartime trage-dy.

“Dagestan sent 180 thou-sand men to the war. Halfnever came back.”

Viktoriya Putilovskayalives in Volgograd, namedStalingrad during the warand site of some of the war’smost gruesome fighting,with more than a millionSoviet military and civilian

deaths.“Everything here is per-

meated with the spirit ofvictory and yearning for anew life,” she says. “We mustremember the millions whogave their lives so we mightlive. We owe them this mem-ory.”

Victory Day hits a nervewith Russians rather as 9/11does with Americans.

“We will never let any-body forget the millions ofvictims,” said AlexanderMarkov of Krasnoyarsk, inSiberia. As children, he andhis brother begged theirgrandfathers, both woundedin the war, to tell their sto-ries. Both refused.

“We spent a lot of timewith them in silence, in re-flection. I remember thetears in their eyes.”

For today’s children, Rus-sian cities are staging Im-mortal Regiment parades inwhich they can march carry-ing pictures of their wartimeancestors.

For those old enough toexperience first-hand WorldWar II or the post-war multi-decade housing and foodshortages, rebuilding andwounded and traumatizedparents and grandparents,“memories of the war existat the genetic level,” Ka-zachenok says.

Moscow’s Victory Dayparade is a solemn commem-oration of a tragedy, a tributeto heroism and sacrifice, “aholiday with tears in theeyes,” according to a well-known Victory Day song.Ordinary Russians hope wehear the message they intendto convey.

SHORT HOPS

SCOTT SPRINGER/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

The Felicity-Franklin Lady Cardinals stretch out April 28 before playing Bethel-Tate. The Lady Cards prevailed 5-3.

Scott Springer [email protected]

After dispatching his oppo-nent at Clermont Northeasternin about 20 minutes April 17, Fe-licity-Franklin High School ju-nior Devon Denune then went toan adjacent court and got insome more work.

In order to get a completesweat in, Denune took on juniorteammate Travis Waters andfreshman Jared Boeckmann,dazzling them with rocketserves and shots between thelegs. During a normal match, hedoesn’t showboat, but in post-match workouts, anything goes.

The Cardinals have had apretty good year thanks to theirNo. 1 singles player, who didn’teven pick up a racquet until hewas in eighth grade.

“I originally learned it frommy father. He’s the gym teacher(at Felicity-Franklin),” Denunesaid. “I started playing over thesummer at tennis camps likeUK’s and NKU’s. From there,I’ve just been playing yearround at Anderson’s Mercy

Healthplex.”The former basketball play-

er got the initial push from hismother, who was looking forsomething to keep him active.She bought the racquets and thefather took over instructions onhitting.

“As soon as I picked one up, itwas better than basketball,” De-nune said. “Tennis has reallyconnected with me.”

Denune is usually “da man”as many of his matches endquickly. He has had better com-petition with Western Brownand New Richmond’s first sin-gles players. Though most of hismatches are brief, he onceplayed three hours with Go-shen’s No. 1.

The Cardinals can be defeat-ed, but most afternoons there’sonly four matches to be had asDenune typically prevails inshort order.

In the postseason as a sopho-more, Denune received a first-round bye, then lost in roundtwo. This spring all eyes are for-ward.

“My main goal for this year

and next is to get to districts andpossibly state,” Denune said.

In a league not noted for bigservers, Denune is a hammer.

“I enjoy my serve a lot,” hesaid. “It makes a lot of peoplestruggle. I’d say that’s the bestpart of my game.”

In addition to having a volleywith his teammates afterward,he helps them work on theirgame. Seniors Dylan Foster andAustin May have teamed upsuccessfully in doubles for Fe-licity-Franklin and occasionallyplay singles.

Beyond Felicity-Franklin,Denune is eyeing NorthernKentucky University for tennis.As a freshman two years ago, hewould receive complimentsfrom other teams. As a sopho-more, he became noticed andnow he’s a known commoditywherever coach Ralph Adamspulls up the transportation van.

The big blonde kid with thebig serve hopes to expand hisreputation with a few more acesup his red Cardinal tennis-shirtsleeve in the coming weeks.

MT. WASHINGTON — FromApril 14-24, McNicholas wasone of the hottest teams in thecity. The Rockets won sevengames in nine days.

Since then, they’ve cooledoff a bit by losing three of fourincluding Greater CatholicLeague Coed division games toRoger Bacon and frontrunnerBadin. Still, the Rockets havereasons to be optimistic.

McNick limited a pretty po-tent Rams’ offense to just fiveruns April 29. The only prob-lem in that game was the de-fense letting down starter Wil-liam Kling.

“We’re not going to beat agood team when we give upfive unearned runs,” McNi-cholas coach John Christmannsaid. “Overall, we have beenplaying very well and it’s be-cause of our pitching. Ourpitching has been outstand-ing.”

Their pitching staff has al-lowed five or more runs in justthree of the team’s 17 games.

Liam Brooks hasn’t givenup an earned run in seven re-lief appearances. Zach Arnold,Adam Vickers, Jordan Ritter,Sam Browning and JordanWhitmore all have earned runaverages under 1.50.

Kling has been the ace ofthe staff. As of May 1, he was4-0 with 23 strikeouts in 23 1/3

innings. He also held a tidy .30ERA.

“He has given up oneearned run in five outings now.That’s it,” Christmann said.“That’s spectacular. He’s donemore than I could ever askfor.”

Having great pitching isone thing, but those hurlersneed run support.

Fortunately for them, theRockets have done a good jobwith that as well. Six playersare currently hitting betterthan .300.

Ryan Byrne paces the clubwith a .368 average and is tiedfor the team lead with 11 RBI.Browning and shortstop WillVogelgesang also have 11.

“It’s great because everyday it’s a new player steppingup,” the coach said. “It’s notjust one or two guys pickingthe team up.”

Next on the schedule forMcNick are games against St.Henry and Boone Countysandwiched in between con-ference games against PurcellMarian and Chaminade-Juli-enne.

After that, the Rockets willbe embroiled in another in-stallment of the King of theHill series with Anderson andTurpin.

“We’re capable of winninganother five or six games in arow, there’s no question,”Christmann said. “We justhave to play McNick baseball.”

Howdy folks! Lastweek was another busyone for the old fisher-man. As the weatherwarms up the folks willbe planting gardens andputting out flowers. Sat-urday, May 2, wasis theplant sale at the GrangeHall in Nicholsville.There were various flow-er and vegetable plants,potting soil and lots ofother items.

I went to a birthdaycelebration Monday eve-ning. The young personwill be leaving for col-lege in the fall. They aregoing to college in Berea,Kentucky. There wereseveral folks there andone person said theyhave a hen turkey theycall Gus. The hen is lay-ing eggs so they made anest for her, but she se-lected another spot. Thisperson said Gus willwatch the neighborsleave in the morningthen start for their bird-feeders. This person saidthat all that has to bedone is slap your handsand Gus will turn aroundand come back.

The other day a deliv-ery driver got out of thetruck Gus flush herfeathers at the driver.The driver stood by thetruck and watched Gus.The person that livesthere slapped her handsto get Gus’s attention andcame back watching thedriver. The driver saidthat was something tosee and it made the driv-ers day.

It is amazing howanimals can be trainedand how they can getyour attention. Like

Chester -when thesun comesup he willjump onme towake meup. Hewants meto get hisbreakfastso he can

go outside and lookaround and chase thebirds. I hope he doesn’tfind any rabbit nestswith babies in it.

The deer will be hav-ing their babies anytimeso watch for the does inthe road. I saw somelittle babies hit by vehi-cles last year. The littleones are so cute and theyplay like little lambs. It isgreat to watch them, ifyou see one laying in thegrass don’t bother it, themother deer knowswhere it is.

I was watching a birdflying to one of the bird-houses here at home thismorning. It had straw inits beak to make a nest.It would put the item inthe bird house and thereseemed to be another onein there to take the strawto arrange the nest. Iguess the old saying ittakes two to tango ap-plies. Spring is an excit-ing time of the year, newlife, grass growing, treesblooming. The appletrees are full of bloomsand the strawberries areblooming. The asparagusis growing - I pickedsome last week and gaveit to Debby.

The fishing is goodwith lots of crappie beingcaught. They are full of

eggs getting ready tospawn. It looks like itwill be a good fishingyear.

The Spring CharityGala for Senior Serviceswas a very successfulevent. Ruth Ann and Ialways donated somewood items so this year Idonated a bluebird houseand robin house.

I was talking to Mikeat the bait shop in Afton.He said the crappie tour-nament held April 26 wasgreat. The number ofcrappie they can weighin for the tournament isseven. First place was 7pounds, 4 ounces; secondplace 6-12, third place6-4. Mike said there wereseveral in the one poundclass, the biggest crappiewas almost two pounds.There are some stripersbeing caught and channelcatfish. I asked if therehad been any muskycaught and he said somesmall ones. The big oneswill be caught this sum-mer. You had better havegood line on your reel.

Tuesday evening I willbe going with The Kinnerfamily to St. ThomasMore for a Boy Scoutevent to see a youngfeller get an award hehas been working on.

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

God bless all . . . Morelater
