BETHEL—Village voters willdecide on Nov. 5 whether to ap-prove a property tax increasefor the police department.
If the tax-hike issue is ap-proved residents with a homewith a market value of $50,000will pay an additional $70 peryear in taxes.
Residents who own a$100,000 home will pay an addi-tional $140 per year in taxes ifthe issue passes.
Residents who own a$150,000homewill payanadditional $210 per yearin taxes if the issuepasses.
The proposed 4-millpolice tax levy is expect-ed to generate about$123,289 a year for thevillage, according to in-formation prepared bythe Clermont County Au-ditor’s Office.
If approved that taxlevywouldadd to thecur-rent 2.9-mill police taxlevy that expires in 2015,which generates about$89,384 per year.
“There would be twocollection years that bothof these levieswill be col-lected,” said Chuck Tilbury,chief deputy auditor for Cler-mont County.
Bethel Police Chief MarkPlanckpreviously said themainreason for the levy is to replacemoney lost from the state.
“The governor’s office is do-ing away with - over the courseof several years - local govern-ment funding,” Planck said.
“So in 2013, we’re minus$80,000 in local governmentfunding from the state.”
In addition, the departmenthas several older vehicles thatthemoney could be used to helpreplace.
“My initial reaction is that itprobablywon’t passbecause it’stoo much - people cant afford itright now,” said Gary Hutchin-son, former village councilmember.
“I really think they’re bark-ing up the wrong tree.”
Edgar Price, a resident wholives on North East Street, saidhe was not aware there a levywould be on the ballot - some-
thing council members havediscussed before.
The police chief pushed forcouncil togetaresident toactaschairmen for a levy committee,but they’ve had trouble findingsomeone.
Acommitteecouldhelp raisemoney for yard signs or otherthings village officials can’t putmoney toward, Planck said.
“The village can only edu-cate the public, it cannot pro-mote it,” said Fiscal OfficerBillGilpin.
When Price was informedabout the levyhedeclinedtosay
which way he wouldvote.
“There’s alwaysthings (the police de-partment) can improveon, but I think they dopretty good,” he said.
Paulette Smith, wholives on Spring Street,was much more deci-sive.
“I’ve been here overeight years and I’venev-er registered to vote un-til this year,” Smith said.
“I registered to voteagainst the police levy.”
Smith has been frus-trated by the police de-partment’s response tomultiple incidents she
claims involve stolen propertyfrom her house.
“I think you get what youearn, and they’re not earningit,” she said.
Smith also expressed skepti-cismover the chief’s stated rea-sons for the levy.
“(The levy) is just a hiddenobstacle for them to get raises,and Bethel police have notearned it,” she said.
Planck previously declinedto comment on whether em-ployees would receive raises.
“Ican’t say it’sgoingtoraisesand I can’t say it’s not going toraises,” he said.
VandalismfearshavecausedSmith to buy cameras and locksfor her property, she said.
“Bethel is not a safe town,”Smith said.
Bethel Mayor Alan Ausmanwill present information aboutthe proposed tax-hike issue at 6p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15, at the Be-thel Church of the Nazarene inthe church’s adjacent FamilyLife Center.

BETHEL — One of the re-quirements for Bethel to be re-movedfromitsfiscalemergen-cy status by the state is to puttogether a forecast to show thevillagecanmaintainitselfafterit is left to its own devices.
“I’ve been here overseeing(the fiscal recovery process),”said April Davis, the chief pro-jectmanagerfor thestateaudi-tor’s office in southwest Ohio.
“You’re at the tail end ofthat.”
Fiscal Officer Bill Gilpinand Administrator Travis Dot-son helped Davis create theforecast, which projects thevillage’s financial picture for2013 through 2017.
The forecast was presentedatarecentcouncilmeeting,butDavis said it is a draft copy andnot a public record.
“Thefactthat it isadrafthasnothing to do with whether ornot it is a public record,” saidJohn Greiner, an attorney forGraydon Head & Ritchey whopractices First Amendmentlaw and represents The Com-munity Press and the Cincin-nati Enquirer.
The Community Press hasmade a public records requestwith the auditor’s officer andthe village for the document.
“If, in fact, the public body
worked on it and prepared thisdraft in the process of gettingto a finished version it is a pub-lic record,” Greiner said.
Although the documentcould qualify for another ex-emption in the Ohio RevisedCode,Davisdidnot expoundonthe specific provision of lawthat allowed her to withhold it.
She collected copies of theforecast from council mem-bers after themeeting.
Village revenues for thenext five years are expected todecrease,but thegeneralfund-which contained a deficit bal-ance when the village wasplaced in fiscal emergency -now looks more stable, Davissaid.
Local government fundingis decreasing due to changes inthe state, she said.
“Property tax estimates(also) are going down,” Davissaid.
Therewillbeanewpropertyevaluation completed by thecounty in 2014 to ultimately de-termine those numbers, shesaid.
Likewise, none of numberspresented in the forecast set instone and could change at anytime.
“We’ve tried to forecast for
the worst,” Davis said.“The village will still have a
healthy balance (in the generalfund).”
Davis offered health carecosts as an example.
“We don’t know (how muchit will increase),” she said
The village predicted an 18percent increase, which ismore than some of the smallerestimates, Davis said.
“This is a snapshot in time,”she said.
“There is room built in (forthings to change).”
Thevillagewill be terminat-edfromfiscalemergencywith-in a month based on the fore-cast, Davis said.
“The balance is positive.That’s what we want to see(from entities coming out offiscal emergency),” she said.
“You should be able tomain-tain a positive balance.”
Other deficient funds be-sides thegeneral fund includedthe police pension fund, the po-lice communications fund andthe sidewalk assessment fund.
“The general fund was themain thrust of fiscal emergen-cy,” Gilpin said.
Those other funds largelyhad problems because of thegeneral fund’s deficit balance,but with that taken care ofshould remain positive, Davissaid.
“You’ve worked very hard,”she said, commending the vil-lagefor itsdiligenceduring therecovery process.
“This village took initiativebefore it was even put in fiscalemergency.”

UNION TWP. — If Cler-mont County residents gointo the Union Townshiplibrary looking for the lat-est season of “BreakingBad” or “How I Met YourMother,” there’s a goodchance they won’t find it.
Not because the li-brary doesn’t carry thosetitles, but because 23 per-cent of the branch’s DVDand Blu-ray Disc collec-tion were stolen.
“We’re talking roughly200 (items),” said AdamBaker, Clermont County
Public Library communi-cations manager.
The report filed withthe Union Township Po-lice Department shows185 DVDs worth $6,500were stolen.
Over a period of threemonths, two individualsmanaged to get aroundthe library’s security sys-tem and steal several TVbox sets and other highdollar itemswithoutusingforce, according the re-port.
“All of our brancheshave security camerasand security gates at thedoors. It appears these
two people found a wayaround that,” Baker said.
“Our collection is opento the public, andwewanttomake it as accessible aspossible, so its unfortu-nate when somebodytakes advantage of that.”
Charles Abney, a 31-year-oldmalewho liveson1560 Bethel-New Rich-mond Road, and AmyDruck, a 46-year-oldfemale who lives on 563Hopper View Bluff, havebeen charged with fifth-degree felonies for theft.
Druck will be sen-tenced later this monthand Abney also will ap-
pear in court to enter aplea for intervention inlieu of conviction, accord-ing to court documents.
After Druck and Ab-ney stole the Blu-rayDiscsandDVDs, theysoldthem to Facet Jewelry,Music and Pawn in Ame-lia.
The twist is althoughthe store knows it is inpossession of stolen prop-erty, it has not returnedyet that property.
“I think it’s reallyshocking that apawnshopwould know that they arein possession ofmaterialsthat belong to the county
library and they wouldn’tjust return them uncondi-tionally,” said Joe Braun,president of the libraryboard of trustees in Cler-mont County.
“We purchased thesematerials using taxpayerdollars and they should bereturned to the taxpay-ers.”
Representatives fromFacet say the library willget its property back inthe “next day or two.”
Originally, the storewanted the library to payfor what they bought theitems for, but that is nolonger the case, said Ja-mie Stowell, Facet’s dis-trict manager.
“In the end, they aregoing to get their moviesback andwe’re not askingfor any money fromthem,” Stowell said.
In fact, the librarymight never have foundout it wasmissing proper-ty if it weren’t for Facet,she said.
“We have an employeehere ... (who) used toworkfor the library. She no-ticed we had a DVD forsale and it looked like thestyle of case that camefrom the library,” Stowellsaid.
“Once we found out wehad more in pawn withincertain time frames, westarted pulling those offthe shelves because weknew those probably be-longed to the library.”
At that point, the li-brary didn’t know any-
thing was stolen, she said.“We’re the ones that let
the library know that (theDVDs) were even here tobegin with,” Stowell said.
“We wanted to helpthem.”
Stowell said Facet fol-lowed its standard proce-dures, and they couldn’thave known the DVDSwere stolen because nopolice report had beenfiled yet.
“Whenwetake items infor pawn or purchaseitemswe email a report tothe local police depart-ment of everything wetake.By law,we only haveto report to the local po-lice department, but wesend (the report) to 15 ju-risdictions,” she said.
“Wealsohaveaholdingperiod - 15 days - beforewe can put it out for salejust tomake sure it clearsthe police check. We didall of this.”
Braun said Facet offi-cials want to return thematerial with “certainstrings attached.”
“We needed to havedocumentation. We can’tjust hand over merchan-dise,” Stowell said.
“They need to sign aform that they had re-ceived this merchandiseand that they are the trueowner of these items.”
Despite the situation,public libraries through-out Clermont County willcontinue to offer DVDsand Blu-ray Discs to itsresidents.

BATAVIA — The Cler-mont County emergencycommunications systemwill have state-of-the-artequipmentwithinthenexttwo years, but the pricerecently increased.
Clermont County Com-missioners recently ap-proved a fifth contractchange to their deal withMotorola Inc., spendingan additional $251,621 oftaxpayers’ money to ex-pand a paging system.
“Themajorityof the in-creaseof thecontractcostis due to the failure of thetower sites,” said StephenRabolt, county adminis-trator.
“We had tomove towersites, andbymoving thosewe have to add an addi-tional antenna for pagingbecause coverage wouldhave been lost with themovement of the towers.”
Another addition to thecontract is a new commu-nications tower in Camp-bell County, Ky., whichCommissioner Ed Hum-phrey said will improvecommunications capabili-ties.
The towerwill cost tax-
payers $101,528.08 and beinstalled by Global SignalAcquisitions II.
Whalen Electric is con-tracted to install electric-ity at the tower no laterthan early 2014.
“It will improve cover-age of the 800-megahertzradio system with the ad-dition of the CampbellCounty tower,” Hum-phrey said.
“The tower will addcoverage on state Route52 and the valleys in thatarea.”
The contract change isthe fifth of its kind, mod-ifying a 2012 agreementwith Motorola to installthe communications sys-tem.
Despite the additions –bringing theadjustedcostto taxpayers to $814,540 –
Rabolt said the county isstill within its originalbudget amount from twoyears ago.
The installation of theKentuckytowerandotherwork is still cheaper thanwhat the county wouldhave had to payMotorola,Humphrey said.

BETHEL —When you’ve played foot-ball at the University of Cincinnati andcoached at St. Xavier with Steve Rassoand Urban Meyer, a lopsided loss to an0-3 team is not easy to take.
Such was the case Sept. 20 whenBlanchester blitzed and beat upBethel-Tate High School on the gridiron 45-9.Coach Bill Jenike’s Tigers started theseason with a win over Oyler, but thenwereoutscoredbyatotalof88pointsaf-terward.
“We’re not doing to well and we’renotgettingbetter,” abrutallyhonest Je-nike said.
Like some of their previous games,theTigersmadeearlymistakesandhadto play catch-up.
“We just got off to a bad start again,”Jenike said. “We put the ball on theground on an exchange on an option.That set the tone for them. Seems likewe’re struggling in this offense in try-ing to make the right read. It’s execu-tion; that’s all it is.”
If you have a sense of humor, youmay remember what the late John Mc-Kay said when he coached the NFL ex-pansionTampaBayBuccaneers in theirinfancy.
When asked about his team’s execu-tion, he said ,“I’m all in favor of it.”
Bill Jenike is not the cantankerousMcKay. He’s a man of much more pa-tience, which is needed when you headup a team that had just three wins inthree years coming into this season.
His struggles are with numbers.Beyond the final score, it’s the num-
ber of players he can attract to hissquad. Because of various circum-stances, Bethel-Tate can’t field a re-serve team this year. The end result isyounger players aren’t able to progressat their own level.
“We’re playing a lot of young kids,”Jenike said. “We’re playing five fresh-men. The kids are thrown in the fire,which is not a good situation whenyou’re playing freshmen.”
Still, execution is a common themewith Jenike. Most football coaches areabout repetition. The sloppy gameagainst Blanchester brought repetitionand fundamentals to practice.
“There’s no excuse to not executeand play hard,” Jenike said. “Weplayeda lot harder against Goshen, who was abetter team.”
Another byproduct of low numbersis the risk of injury. When top players
go down, the talent pool isn’t as deep asmany area Division I schools. AgainstBlanchester alone, Jeffrey Botts andAllan Haave left injured.
As fine as the coaching and playsmay be, a younger replacement mightnot be mentally prepared for the speedof the game.
“We’ve got some kids that are goodplayers, butwhenyou’re punting three-and-out all the time, they get into agroove of not executing or making theright read,” Jenike said.
In addition to Haave and Botts, sev-eralTigers showpromise. LankySamu-el Price is a pretty good target as a passcatcher and Blake Norris at leastlooked comfortable replacingHaave atquarterback when he left injured.
“He’s done some good things,” Je-nike said. “He probably should playmore. He throws the ball well.”
Onboth sides of the ball, BlaceHavi-land plays with great intensity.
“Oh my goodness, yeah,” Jenikesaid. “Heplays real hard.He’s our lead-ing tackler at free safety.”
The experienced players overall do
well. The downside is the youth and in-experience. Through no fault of theirown, some players just don’t under-stand the game enough to knowwhat todo in certain situations.
“Thirty years of coaching - the big-gest thing I’m telling the kids right nowis you’ve got to play with heart andtoughness,” Jenike said. “That’s thegame. We’re not going to move guysaround the field and we’re not going tochange what we do. We’re not trying toget really fancy and throw the ball allover the field.”
The dilemma with Bethel-Tate hasbeen delivering the basic run play con-sistently.When it’s notworking, opposi-tionshavebeenblitzing.When theplay-ers inserted don’t pick up the blitz, it’strouble.
Fatigue also comes into play whenthe same guys expected to make playsoffensively are expected tomake playsdefensively. Lack of depth means lackof rest for some of Bethel-Tate’s talent.
“You needmore guys where you cansub in,” Jenike said. “That’s a big issue.When youmake amistake, it magnifiesbecause you’re going to each side of thefield. I tell them, ‘You’ve got to play ev-ery down,’”
The final twogames are at home, butthey come against teamswithmore ex-perience inAmelia andNewRichmond.
“There’s not a game on our schedulewecan’twin the rest of theway,” Jenikesaid. “The kids are going to have to be-lieve inwhatwe tell themandwe’ve gotto play.”
Allan Haave is at quarterback with Blake Norris split wide against Blanchester. WhenHaave left the game injured, Norris had to step in at quarterback. SCOTT

NEWTOWN — The clock is ticking onMiamiValleyChristianAcademy,but ina good way.
After finishing out this season’s pro-visional year, the school that began inthe old Newtown Elementary buildingwith five kindergartners and six first-graders in 1996 will be a full-fledgedOHSAAmember.
“We can only play our own kids,”head football coach Robert Vilardosaid. “There’s no kids from outside. Ev-ery kid that’s on our team right now is amemberofourschool.Wecan’tbe intheplayoffs, but starting next year we’refully in.”
Vilardo has been marching his 24players out against teams that usuallyoutnumber them. When he started theprogramwithafewpadsandacoupleofballs, therewere 85 total students in thehigh school. He estimates that numbernow to be around 150. Of that number,the bulk are girls. Depending on yourperspective, that may be good or bad.
If you’re a football coach, you mayprefera littlemoretestosterone,partic-ularly with MVCA adding biggerschools to the schedule.
“Against Finneytown,weweredownthreewith threeminutes left and endedup losing by 10,” Vilardo said. “They
scored late in the game.We played realwell.They’vegotabout490boys in theirschool. We’ve got about 50.”
The Lions have had some respect-ablewins, but ran into anotherdilemmawithGambleMontessori at Stargel Sta-diumonSept. 28.TheGatorswonhandi-ly, 46-22.
“They’re a much bigger school,” Vi-lardo said. “Bigger squad with a lotmore kids.”
The key is depth, which Vilardohopes to change in coming years. With24 kids, the opposition currently has anadvantage of subbing while his menmay be gasping.
“Our back is playing offense, de-fense and special teams,” Vilardo said.“He’s not getting a three-play rest. Thatmakes a big difference.”
Playmakers this season include Vi-lardo’s sophomore son at quarterback,Bransen Vilardo, receiver MaliqueWard, and multi-threat seniors GavinCarson and Layne Cherry.
“He’s lightning fast and can reallyturn it on at any point,” Vilardo said ofCherry. “Alex Ammerman is anothersenior whowent over100 yards againstTroy Christian.”
Leading the line on both sides hasbeen senior Alex Hoyle. At MVCA,you’re a two-position player.
“Our quarterback (son Bransen) hasplayed quite a bit at outside linebacker.My quarterback coach is going, ‘Don’tput him in there!’ But, you have to. Youonly have so many. One of our bestbacks is JamesHeaton andhe’s anothersophomore,” Vilardo said.
Off-field contributions have comefrom the village of Newtown. Leaderswould like to turn Short Park, just be-hind the school, into a state-of-the-artfacility. Itwould includeafootball field,baseball field and track.
“Theywantaplacewhere thevillageof Newtown can have a big event,” Vi-lardo said. “It should be able to help thebusinesses. We’ve got a lot of supportfor that.”

We consisted of ex-pupilsand their parents, ex-teachers,and Historical Society mem-bers. We parked on MulberryStreet and in the Nazarene

Some cars paused onGoshenRoad and took pictures, but didnot disrupt traffic. We were apeaceful group watching a partof our local history disappear.
This was a memorable day,seeing our first consolidatedpublic school from 1908 beingdemolished, and a notably sadday for long time residents.

Put skin in the game for resultsRecently I attended an event
atMilacronwhich featuredGov. Kasich and I was pleasedthat bothMilacron representa-tives and the governor citedthemachinists apprenticeprogram betweenMilacronandUCClermont College asthe ideal collaborativemodelfor trainingmanufacturingprofessionals with job-readyskills.
“Skin in the game” is a termattributed toWarren Buffetwho once invested in one of hisown companies to indicate hisconfidence to outside inves-tors. If the company failed, hewould lose his personal in-vestment; if the venture wassuccessful, both he and hisinvestors would benefit. Bothhad “skin in the game.”
This same concept of allparties investing in a collab-orative workforce develop-ment activity is whatmakes
theMilacron-UCClermontprogramwork.
Milacronscreens qual-ified prospectsand hires themas temporaryemployeeswhomust en-roll in thetraining pro-gram funded
by their new employer. If theparticipants complete the pro-gram successfully they beginwork as fulltime employeeswith benefits.
UC Clermont has investedits instructors, facility andequipment purchasedwithsupport from a $250,000 Appa-lachian Regional Commissiongrant. The college had tomatchthe grant dollar for dollar toreceive the funding and prom-ised to train100 newmanu-
facturing employees duringthe next three years as part ofthe grant.
So, UC Clermont has in-vested cash, time and energy –their “skin in the game” – inorder tomeet the guidelines ofthe grant and to continue thispartnership withMilacron. Ifwe fail, we suffer the loss of apartner and penalties for thegrant.
The participantsmust in-vest 15 weeks of educationaltraining andmeet high stan-dards in these classes whichinclude computer aided draw-ing, safety, leanmanufacturingand others to become a bene-fited employee with a brightfuture atMilacron.
If they do not complete theprogram they lose an opportu-nity and all the benefits whichfollow.
To date, the “skin in thisgame” has proven successful
with 20 new employees joiningMilacron starting last year andanother10 slated to begin train-ing this fall.
What lessons can be learnedby this “Skin in the Game”model?
All partnersmust investresources, money and energyto gain a return on their in-vestment. ROImeans every-thing to an expanding companysuch asMilacron.Without atargeted program, theywilllose time andmoney due toemployee turnover.
Out of the 20 new trainedemployees hired byMilacron,14 continue as productive con-tributing employees. This com-pares very favorably withindustry norms thatmay see asuccess rate of two out of 10retained.
The collegemeets a percent-age of its training quota andcarries out its mission as a
regional college.The student employee gains
a professional position withopportunity for future growthand education.
Without any “Skin in theGame”Milacronmight see alower retention rate, the newemployeesmay not have themotivation to complete theprogram, and the college wouldnot have a fully equippedman-ufacturing center.
The state of Ohio needsmore collaborative partner-ships in which all parties invest“some skin” in order to gainlong lasting benefits.
Otherwise, wewill continueto get low return on our in-vestments andwewill notmeetour ambitious Ohio job growthtargets for our activities.

Last week’s questionThe House has passed an ex-
emption from federal law to al-low the Delta Queen to onceagain operate as an overnightpassenger vessel. Would you feelsafe as a passenger on the DeltaQueen?Why or why not?
“I would love to be a passen-ger on the Delta Queen if thecostwasn't soexorbitant. I thinkit's great that theDeltaQueen isstill in operation to remind us ofour pastmode of transportationthat didn't involve cars.”
E.E.C.
“I would feel more safe onthe Delta Queen, for if were tosink, at least you could swim to
shore. If I were to ride with thegovernment, I think we justkeep sinking and no way to besaved.”
D.J.
“Why not? The Delta Queen
still appears as a sound vessel,and I am certain all mainte-nance is up to par according tomaritime and Coast Guard reg-ulations. Yes, I would love totake a trip on this historic boat.”
O.H.R.
“What part of wooden super-structure ships not being safefor overnight passengers don'twe understand? This regulationwas put in place for a good rea-son. Sentimentality is not a rea-sonable justification toriskpeo-ple's lives.”
F.S.D.
“Iwould feel very safe on theDeltaQueen.This boat has beena long tradition on theOhio Riv-
erandatruespirit for thecityofCincinnati. The company thatowns the Queen has taken verygood care of it.
Ed Seurkamp
“I remember this same bat-tle being waged over 40 yearsago and several times in the in-terim. I have no idea why Con-gress cannot resolve this mat-ter once and for all.
“Iwould love theopportunityto take a lengthy cruise on theQueen, confident the crew iswell-trained and the boat isequipped with adequate safetygear.
“The whole issue in the pastwas the wooden hull of this ves-sel.With the locksystemson the
waterways and the radar/sonarand other modern navigationalaids, I very much doubt a fatalaccident could occur due to thehull's material alone.”
R.V.
“Asmuch as theDeltaQueenis part of Cincinnati tradition, Ipersonally would not want tospend time traveling on an oldwooden boat.
“While I like adventure, theDQ is way past its prime and itwas taken out of service forgoodreason, it isdangerous.Mr.Chabot is trying to make pointswith the old folks on the WestSide by endangering them.

NEXT QUESTIONHave your health-care planpremiums increased and termschanged significantly for 2014?Why do you think there was orwas not a significant change?
Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via e-mail. Send youranswers [email protected] withChatroom in the subject line.
As the original mother ofan adopted adult with whom Ihave been reunited for 17years, I am writing to encour-age your readership to sup-port Ohio Senate Bill 23 andOhio House Bill 61. These twoimportant pieces of legisla-tion will provide adoptedOhioans access to their origi-nal birth certificates (OBC).
It is unbelievable that,unlike many other states, ourgovernment actively preventsa group of its citizens fromaccessing basic informationabout themselves. But bydenying Ohioans adoptedbetween 1964 and 1996 accessto their OBC, our state gov-ernment denies these peoplethe right to fundamentalfacts, such as the date andplace of their birth and theidentity of their original(birth) parents.
Besides the basic right ofAll citizens to know suchinformation about them-selves, there is another com-pelling reason to supportthese bills.
Today,physiciansand medicalspecialistsincreasinglyrely on genet-ic informationand medicalhistory todiagnose andtreat manydiseases.Adoptees who
are denied access to theirOBC are prevented fromobtaining the medical historythat may save their lives andthe lives of their children.
SB 23 and HB 61will recti-fy this grievous wrong andmust be signed into law. Lastspring, the bills receivedoverwhelming support fromboth the House and Senate.
HB 61 passed the House96-1 and SB 23 passed theSenate Medicaid, Health andHuman Services Committee9-0. However, Ohio Senateleadership stalled on bringingthe legislation before the fullsenate for a vote.
Speaking for the vast ma-jority of birth parents, I askfor your help to pass thislegislation. We never asked tobe shielded from our children.
Archaic laws that sealedadoption records were im-posed on our children and onus. Our adult children de-serve their original birthcertificates and access tovital, personal informationonly we can give them.
Readers should contacttheir state senators (http://www.ohiosenate.gov/senate/index) and encourage them toactively support these billsthat will restore the rights offull citizenship to all of Ohio’sadopted adults.
Ask your senators to urgethe Senate president to bringit up for a vote. If they areallowed to vote, there is nodoubt that the Senate willpass the legislation and endthis obvious discriminationagainst our fellow citizens.

The seasons on ourlittle patch of heaven aremarked by what’s goingon outside in our gardensand what my husband,
Frank, isdoing withour outsideequip-ment.Right nowhe’s “salt-ing thingsaway forthe win-ter,” mean-ing he’sservicing
the tiller, tractor, boatand lawnmowers for awinter rest in the garage.
Our bell peppers havefinally ripened, so I wasable to add them to anantipasto tray I made fora friend’s rehearsal din-ner.
Easy antipastoNeed a stunning and
delicious appetizer? Anantipasto tray fills thebill. It is not only appeal-ing to the eye, but there’ssomething on the tray foreverybody.
Go to your olive barand ask lots of questions.I went to the EastgateJungle Jim’s olive barand was able to samplewhatever I wanted. Thiswill help in choosing theright ingredients foryour budget and guests. Idid choose olives withoutpits. Since prosciutto isexpensive, I bought a fewslices to garnish andfolded them over on topof the antipasto. I alsosprinkled a can of chick-peas on top. The nicething about this recipe isthat it can be assembleda day ahead. For thesauce, I use Caesar saladdressing with freshherbs stirred in. I drizzlethe dressing on rightbefore I serve it.
My favoritetwo-way brisket
Brisket is a cut ofmeat from the lowerchest or breast of beef. It
is amazingly flavorful,but tough, so slow cook-ing is a must. Either wayyou cook this – in theoven or in a slow cooker –the brisket turns outtender and so delicious.Serve with mashed pota-toes or noodles.
3 pounds beef brisket2 cups chili sauce1 cup brown sugar, packed1 cup beef broth1 very large onion, sliced1⁄4 teaspoon ground cloves3 bay leavesSalt and pepper to taste
Oven: Preheat oven to325 degrees. Combinechili sauce, sugar andbroth. Pour about half ofthis in the bottom ofroasting pan. Place bris-ket on sauce, fat side up.Distribute onion, clovesand bay leaves over bris-ket. Pour rest of sauceover. Cover and bake50-55 minutes per poundor until meat is fork ten-der. Remove brisketfrom pan and removebay leaves and wholecloves. Cut brisketacross the grain. Skimoff any fat from top ofsauce. Pour sauce overbrisket (or put sauce inrefrigerator overnightand the fat will congealon top for easy removal.Then reheat with brisketin 375 degree oven, cov-ered, or in microwave).
Slow cooker: I like tocook mine 9-12 hours orso on low, until meltinglytender.
Perfectly grilledsalmon/seafoodfollowing the 70/30rule
Have the grill hot,lightly brush both sidesof fish with oil, and startgrilling skin side up withthe grill closed. (Or put adisposable pan over thefish). Leave it alone untilabout 70 percent of thefish is done on first side.You’ll know it by thelooks and also if it willrelease easily. This al-
lows fish to form a nicecrust. Turn it and finishcooking. The rule ofabout 7-10 minutes perinch of thickness works,also. Start with 7 minutesand go from there.
Readers want toknow:
Honing steels: “Myhoning/knife steel doesn’twork anymore. Should Ireplace it?” Run yourthumbnail around thecircumference of thetool. If you can still feelgrooves, your steel is stilluseful. It is magnetizedto pick up microscopicfillings that come off theknife’s blade. It’s a goodidea to rub the steel witha cloth after use sogrooves don’t getclogged. Now unless thehoner has diamond chipsin it, most steels won’tsharpen a dull knife (theyrestore the knife’s bite bystraightening the micro-scopic “teeth” at the edgethat fold with use). Noweven if your honing steelis in good condition,sometimes a knifedoesn’t respond to hon-ing. If that happens, it’stime to get the knifesharpened professional-ly.

These days scammershave taken to the Internetto steal your money withfake emails, fraudulentwebsites andmisleadingsales offers. While In-ternet scams are numer-ous, several consumersstill report receivingscams through the mail.
A Fort Thomas manwrote me about a creditcard offer he receivedfrom AmTrade Interna-tional Bank. It offeredhim a credit card with “A$3,600 Visa credit limit!Guaranteed!”
The man sent whatwas supposed to havebeen a refundable $900fee, but says he neverreceived the credit cardnor a pre-paid gas cardthat was also promised.The 74-year-old man sayshe’s on a fixed income sothe loss of all that moneyhit him pretty hard.
Although he paid bycheck and contacted theFederal Bureau of In-vestigation and the Fed-eral Trade Commission,he was told nothing couldbe done to recover hismoney. Such scams arevery popular so remem-ber never sendmoney tosomeone who promises toloan youmoney or extendcredit.
A Hyde Park womanwrote me to say she knewimmediately the lettershe received was a scam.It allegedly came fromPublishers ClearingHouse and used the com-pany’s real address. The$1.5 million she was toldshe won was anything butreal. She knew not tobother calling the longdistance phone numbergiven to claim her win-nings.
AWyoming womanreceived a letter tellingher she qualified for anaward of two round-tripairline tickets. She sus-pected it was a scambecause there was noreturn address and theletter had bad punctua-tion. So she too was toldto call a phone number toclaim her prize, allegedly
valued atnearly$1,400.
BetterBusinessBureausays this isjust aphishingscam in-tending tosteal peo-
ple’s personal informa-tion. This woman neverentered a contest to re-ceive this award of twofree airline tickets plustwo nights a major hotel.
Fortunately, just likethe Hyde Park woman,theWyoming womandidn’t call the numberand says she wants towarn others about thisscam. Many peopleacross the nation havereceived this letter.
One person who calledwas told they first had toattend a timeshare salespresentation before theycould receive the ticketsthey won. Another personwho called was told theyhad to give their creditcard number over thephone.
One of the most fre-quent scams I’ve run intoinvolves criminals send-ing you what appears tobe a real check for thou-sands of dollars. You’resupposed to deposit thecheck, keep some of themoney, then wire the restto the sender.
Unfortunately, manyconsumers learn too latethat the check they re-ceived in the mail is pho-ny – and now they’re onthe hook to repay thebank for the goodmoneythey wired to the crimi-nals.
Bottom line, the mailis still full of scams thesedays so you have to be-ware.

Howdy Folks,Now to make you hun-
gry, Tuesday for dinnerwe had green beans froma small bed of beans,taters, corn on the cob,corn bread and water. Wegrew everything but thecorn bread.
I built a bed on theside of the garage that is8 feet long filled it withpotting soil which weraised the beans in. Youcan garden in a smallplace and raise food toeat and save money.
Next year I will builda bed along the side ofthe carpenter shop thatwill be 10 feet long, 2 feetwide and 8 inches deep.We can raise beans inthis bed and with it beingsheltered keeps growingbeans longer.
Wednesday morningwe attended the seniorservices meeting andthen went to rehab. Ihave two more sessionsas I write this article.With the rehab over wecan get work done here.
It seems that takessome time and dividesour day, so we don’t getsome work done here.This is the first year Ihave had the garden andour place looking bad.But with the Lord’s helpwe will get it shaped up.
Thursday we got to dosome work in the car-penter shop; that was thefirst time we really spentsome time there. Wehave five craft showscoming up.
Friday we attended afuneral visitation inGeorgetown for a youngfeller that the Lord calledhome. It was a big visita-tion we send our sympa-
thy to thefamily.
Sundayafterchurch wewent to thechili res-taurantand had afive-way.Then wewent to Mr.
Barkers and got our wee-deater that he had re-paired for us.
I saw in the paper thatthe Hamilton Countyparks are allowing con-trolled deer harvest. Thedeer population is gettingbigger each year.
The deer population iseating the trees, leaves,flowers, any green fo-liage to the point the foodsupply will be gone. Eachyear the population willget bigger as some deerwill be having twins ortriplets.
The grazing area doesnot increase as the deerdo; something needs tobe done. Deer season forbow hunting started lastSaturday. Don’t knowhow the harvest went, asit gets colder it will pickup.
There was a crappietournament last Sundaythat the Boars Head BaitShop in Afton sponsored.
First place was 4 1/2pounds, second place 41/4 pounds, and thirdplace was 4 pounds.There was also a basstournament, with firstplace taking 9 pounds,second 7 pounds, andthird place 5 pounds. Thebass fishing has beengood all year.
Now is the time to goto the apple orchards and
get some good apples.There is the A&MOr-chard off Ohio 68 be-tween Fayetteville andWestboro. They will haveseveral different kind ofapples, pumpkins andother items.
The Pringles Orchardoff Ohio 727 close toStonelick Lake StatePark will have somecider, apples and pump-kins along with otheritems.
There is an orchardbetween Bethel and Fe-licity that has severaldifferent kind of apples.Mr. Saner said he has agood crop of apples thisyear.
He said in about twoweeks he will have theStaymenWinesap whichis Ruth Ann’s favorite tomake pies and apple-sauce. So it sounds likewe will be having somegood pies around ourhouse.
