Milford City Council hasagreed to pay W.E. SmithConstruction ofBlanchester$286,700 to construct a re-tainingwall andpublicpark-ing lot at 300Main St.,which lasthoused aMarathongas stationand auto re-pair shop.

The newlot will holdabout 37parking spaces.

“The city is pleased to beable to add public parkingspaces for the benefit of ourmerchants and customers,”said Pam Holbrook, assis-tant Milford city manager.

“The project includes re-moval of the existing retain-ingwall, installationofan18-inch-high retaining wall (atthe rear of the property, ad-joining High Street) at thehighest point and an asphaltparking area.

“Construction should be-ginwithin the next couple ofweeksand thegoal is tocom-plete the project by the endof this year,” Holbrook said.

Milford bought the prop-erty at 300 Main St. and theadjoining property at 308MainSt., onwhich isanemp-ty building that used tohouse a deli, for $225,000 in

October 2013.“This was done so not

only to removeanemptygasstation that could have ablightingeffectonthedown-town if therewas no interestinnewownership,butalso tosatisfy the demand for off-street parking in our busi-ness district,” said MilfordCity Manager Jeff Wright.

“The city demolished thegas station and removed theunderground gas-storagetanks.

“We are also in the proc-ess of selling the empty delibuilding so that a new busi-ness can be placed in thespace and the city can be re-imbursed for its purchase,”Wright said.

The properties at 300Main St. and 308 Main St.have both been vacant sinceabout November 2012.

The $225,000 Milfordpaid for the properties wasless than what the formerownerpaid in2007:$339,000.

Milford also won a$100,000federalCommunityDevelopment Block Grantto remove the gas pumps atthe former gas station, aswell as to unearth the under-ground gas storage tanksandraze thestation’s formeroffice and repair-shopbuild-ing.

Six UC students and two UCClermont English professorsspent three weeks in Sri Lankaas part of an IntermediateCom-position class taught by UCClermont’s Amy Abafo at theend of the spring semester.

This innovative experientialcourse combines research,writing, study abroad, and ser-vice. While in Sri Lanka, stu-dents stayedwith a local family,explored ruins and rainforest,and volunteeredwithVolunteerSri Lanka, a nonprofit organiza-tion in the city of Galle on thesouthern coast of the island.

Abafo, assistant director ofthe LearningCenter atUCCler-mont, was inspired to take stu-

dents to the country because ofher stay in the country 25 yearsago as a Peace Corps volunteer.There she met Punya Maha-withana, whose family hostedthe students in Sri Lanka. Thestudents developed a strong re-lationship with Mahawithanaand her family. The groupstayed in Mahawithana’s homewhere they ate home-cookedSri Lankan meals, enjoyed atraditional dance show, andtraveled to ancient ruins withMahawithana and her family.This experience opened stu-dents’ eyes to Sri Lankan cul-ture.

Some students vow to returnto Sri Lanka to volunteer once

SHORT HOPS

By Scott [email protected]

Eight matches into the sea-son, Clermont Northeastern’sgirls soccer team remains un-defeated.

First-year head coach KrisAsmus inherited a veteransquad and has led them to asmany wins this year as theRockets had all of last season.After a Sept. 16 draw with Ba-tavia, the Rockets stand at 7-0-1andarerankedeighth in thelatest Enquirer Division IIcoaches’ poll.

“It is tough to say we ex-pected to be undefeated. Wetry to take each game one at atime,” said Asmus. “I told thegirls at the beginning of theseason that if they workedhard and bought in to my sys-tem, we could beat anyone inthe city.”

A preseason scrimmageagainst Kings was a turningpoint. The Rockets were dom-inated, losing 5-0. Since thatmatch, the team has playedwith a different edge. Theirconfidence and aggressioncontinues to increase witheach regular season match.

“We were completely out-played and outclassed,” saidAsmus of the Kings scrim-mage. “Since then, the girlshave had that ‘every team weplay beatKings’mentality andit's going to be the hardestgame of the year.”

The Rockets have just fourseniors on the roster - JackieSullivan, JennyErickson,KylaToles, and Sydney Gacek - buthave an experienced varsityroster.Almosteveryreturningplayer contributed on the var-sity level last season. Thesquad’s younger players arefollowingtheleadoftheupper-classmen,who are determinedto maintain the team’s highlevel of play down the stretch.

“The players who havebeen through it are reallypushing the younger players,”said Asmus. “To continue thissuccess we can't be satisfied. Ihave seen and been a part oftoo many teams that had early

success then fell off late. If thegirls come out hungry everypractice and game, we will betough to beat.”

Younger players makingmajor contributions includefreshman Grace Wright andsophomore Andrea Johnson.The midfield duo have beenthe catalysts for the Rockets’offense, which scored 28 goalsin sevenmatches before beingshut out in the scoreless drawwith Batavia.

Staying healthy will be akey in theRockets’ quest to re-main unbeaten in the secondhalf of the season. The pro-gram lacks depth, which As-mus is hoping to build up over

the coming years. There areonly 22 girls in the program,and21dress forvarsitymatch-es. Building a strong juniorvarsity squad will helpstrengthen the varsity pro-gram.Fornow, theRocketsarefocused on continuing theirearly season success. It tookless than one month for theRockets to equal last season’swin total. Now, they expect tokeep winning and claim aSouthern Buckeye AcademicAthletic Conference title.

“This team definitely hasnot exceeded anyone’s expec-tations,” said Asmus. “We al-ways think we can win eachgame.”

The diminutive mid-fielder had two goals andan assist through

McNick’s first sevengames, but scoring is onlypart ofwhatmakes her in-valuable to the Rockets.

“She does a lot of theleading by example,” saidMcNick head coach BenKirkpatrick. “She’s a verysmart and technical play-er. When I give instruc-tions, I’m very comfort-able with her caryingthem out and explaingthem to the team. That’swhat makes her such agood captain.”

That and her hustle.“She’sgotagreatmotor

and is really aggressive,”Kirkpatrick said. “Shenever gives up on a ball.”

Martella – an Ameliaresident – comes by hersoccer acumen honestly.Her dad, Jay, played atTurpin High School andher uncle Rob Martellawas a star on the Spartans1986 state title team.Meghan began playing atage four, but doesn’t see

herself playing competi-tively plast high school.

“It was one of the hard-est decisions I’ve made,but I’m going to concen-trate on school,” she said.“I love soccer – I’ll alwayslove soccer – but I justdon’t think I can play an-other four years.”

HYDE PARK — Milfordgained 265 yards rushingandcameupwith a coupleof key plays for scores,knocking off Withrow onthe road 42-24 Fridaynight for the Eagles first-ever Eastern CincinnatiConference victory. Thetriumph spoiled With-row’s first ECC leaguegame as the Eagles im-proved to 3-1 on the sea-son, matching the squad’swin total from all of the2013 season.

TheEagle offense rodethe able legs of its dynam-ic senior duo of runningback Jack Young andquarterback Drew Ash-craft who accounted forall but seven of the 265yards gained on theground. Young bruisedhis way to 166 yards on 34carries, while finding theendzone three times.Ash-craft scampered for 92yards and completed12 ofhis 16 passes for 124yards, with one touch-

down and one intercep-tion.

In addition to beingMilford’s first win insidetheECCsince the league’sinception in 2012, the tri-umphwas also theEagles’first conference victorysince 2009 against Harri-son.

David DiSilvestro wasquarterback Drew Ash-craft’s favorite target ashe caught four passes for47 yards and a touch-down. The senior defen-sive line duo of Jalen Phil-lips and Dominick Hatha-way paced the Eagleswith eight tackles each,with the latter also re-cording one and a halfsacks.

Milfordwill try to keepits momentum in leagueplay going next weekwhen it once again takesto the road, this time toAnderson, a 35-17 winnerover Walnut Hills on Fri-day. Kickoff for the Week5 matchup is 7 p.m.

A8 • MILFORD-MIAMI ADVERTISER • SEPTEMBER 24, 2014

We have been subjectedto a terrible injustice inour nation.

Running on a war wearynation, you and I werepromised to see an end totwo wars. No one wants tosee our military servicemen and women subjectedto fulfill those roles toprotect our nation and thefreedoms of others. Webelieved that this promisewould be accomplishedwith a mission to end whenit was ready and respon-sibly.

This turned out to be agrave mistake that createda massive location forterrorists to grow and gainsupport that has overtakenSyria, led back into Iraqthat no has a religous waragainst Christians. Ourcurrent leadership hasfailed you and I in everyway and proven that evenfurther by openly statingwe have no plans to takeon this threat.

At the same time ouronce timid ally has becomethe aggressor once againand invading a nation thatbroke away from theBear’s collapse after theBerlin wall fell and thecold war ended. The Uk-raine is a free democraticnation that is being over-run by bullies. Our leader-ship is failing us again andour nations promise todefend freedomwhereverit is in this world. We nowsee the “flexibility” thatObama promised to Russiathat was captured on anopen mic.

We see social mediabeing used to wage a waragainst the west and our

way of life.PresidentBushwarned thatthere wouldbe a longfight aheadfor all ter-rorist or-ganizationsand thegovern-ments thatharbor and

support them. This is notwhether you like PresidentBush or if you supportPresident Obama. This is aclear definition of leader-ship in a crisis and the lackthere of in our currentadministration. So let’s askourselves some very toughquestions.

Are we tired of war?Yes!Are we tired of seeing

our own citizens gone formonths and years at a timefighting these wars?

Yes!Are we tired of seeing

these monsters torture andkill innocent people andwage a religious waragainst Christians or anyother religion?

Yes!Aren’t we tired of see-

ing President Obama playgolf when he should beleading efforts of interna-tional support and creatingmeasures to fight theseTerrorists?

Yes!Are we ourselves a

perfect country withoutour own problems of raceand equality?

No!We have freedom to

express ourselves and live

with civility in most cases.The ones who do not arecriminals and do not obeythe laws created to in-stitute fairness and order.While there are still manyareas we can improve onwe continue to strive to dobetter and that sets usapart from the criminals,the extremists, the terror-ists, and the monsters whocommit these acts. Wevoice our opinions throughconversation, arguments,legal proceedings andactivism or peaceful pro-tests and demonstrations.These people in the grip ofISIS or any other terrorgroup and supporting gov-ernments do not havethose options and are vi-ciously attacked, maimed,tortured, and murdered.

Do you wish to seethese type of attacks in ournation?

No!The answer is clear - we

must take action to end allterrorists and extremeistsso that violence and sense-less attacks never happenwithin our borders.

Wake up America, weneed to do something. Ourelected leader doesn’t havethe spine to do the rightthing after all the years offailures from Benghazi,the IRS, Fast and Furious,Iraq, Syria, and nowISIS......

OUR ELECTIONS LETTERS,COLUMNS POLICY

Needed: Religiousconviction

Not long ago pastors and theirchurches were a vital and visiblepart of thecommunity, participatingin andhelping set standards forbothcorporate and individual action andmentality. People are powered bytheir beliefs and values or by thelack thereof.

It was refreshing to see a column“taking a stand” by a ClermontCounty pastor (”Persecution is com-ing,” Sept. 10). Pastor Ben Hurstwarnedthat, inpost-ChristianAmer-ica, a gesture by an employee as in-nocuous as “have a blessed day”would be enough to get that employ-ee fired by a “politically-correct” orpolitically-sensitive employer (inthis case, U.S. Bank).

We don’t know the whole storywhy theU.S. Bank employeewas letgo – understandably, employers arereticent todiscusssuchmatters.ButPastor Hurst further explained thata U.S. Bank official he spoke withabout the incident cited “separation

of church and state” for his bank’spolicies.Ofcourse, thosewhounder-stand American history know that“separation of church and state”means only that the federal govern-ment is forbidden to endorse a par-ticular religion or sect.

U.S. Bank has the right, as an em-ployer, to ask its employees to keepfaith matters to themselves duringwork hours so as not to offend cus-tomers.ButwhenU.S.Bank,amajorsponsor of so-called “gay” pride pa-rades in Cincinnati and elsewhere,callously offends the sensitivities ofChristiansandJewswho take theBi-ble and the Ten Commandments se-riously, then U.S. Bank should ex-pect to lose both patrons and em-ployees who will not capitulate tosuch nonsense.

Sadly, U.S. Bank has little to fear:many who call themselves “Chris-tian” or “Jewish” are not offendeddue to lack of real religious convic-tion, commitment, or courage.

Thank you, Pastor Hurst.Randy Kleine

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

It’s not unusual foryoung children to pretendto have jobs – playing fire-fighter, teacher, business-person, builder and more.

When I was 10, for in-stance, I wanted to be aprofessional basketballplayer.

As they grow, childrendiscover their own talentsand develop interests, andwith the right guidanceand opportunities they willfind careers in adulthoodthat match those talentsand interests.

Some schools have ca-reer exposure and explora-tion programs for stu-dents. Great Oaks hasseveral such programs inarea middle schools.

Parents can help theirchildren as well:

»Help them figure outwhat they enjoy – and why.Your daughter plays videogames for hours eachweek. It may be a mindlessexperience, or it may be asign that she enjoys solv-ing complex problems.Children who play a varie-ty of sports may be athlet-ically inclined, or the so-cial aspects of sports maybe what interests them.Talk to your children aboutwhat motivates them to dowhat they do.

» En-couragethose in-terests andexplorepossibil-ities. Fieldtrips tomuseumsand otheractivitiescan sparknew con-

versations. If your chil-dren are interested in yourcareer and it’s possible todo so, take them to work tolearn more. For older chil-dren, job shadowing oreven internships may beavailable.

» Research careerfields and the education ortraining needed. To learnmore about careers andthe job market, Ohio-MeansJobs.com is a goodplace to start. There, youcan see descriptions ofskills needed for eachoccupation along withtypical work activities andeven average salaries.Some fields will require acollege degree, and manydon’t. However, nearlyevery professional careerstarts with training orcertification. That may beavailable through industryapprenticeship programs,

community colleges, pri-vate schools, or an OhioCareer Center like GreatOaks.

» Be ready for changes.About 80 percent of col-lege students change theirmajor at least once, andyoung adults entering theworkforce now are likelyto change careers multipletimes. We regularly hearabout graduates from ourhigh school programs whoare using their careertraining to earn money toattend post-secondaryinstitutions in anotherfield.

Uncertainty about acareer path can lead tofrustration in school. Stu-dents who don’t under-stand how they’ll use theknowledge they’re receiv-ing may not be engaged intheir learning. They mayalso become easily dissat-isfied as they enter theworkforce after gradua-tion. Parents and schoolscan help students be moreconfident about their livesby helping them to un-derstand and explore ca-reers while they’re still inschool.

Sept. 17 questionHas the National Football League

fairly and properly handled the RayRice domestic abuse/violence case?What could or should the league dodifferently?

“Fairly, yes. Properly, no. I amsick and tired of reading about theseprima donna athletes acting like thethugs and criminals a lot of themare...and getting away with it mostof the time. All of these big-timesports athletes (every sport),wheth-er they want to be or not, are rolemodels formillions ofyouth.On thatfact alone, they need to be held to ahigher standardofmorality than therest of us. It is a rare privilege to begood enough to play in the bigleagues and if you happen to be thattalentedor lucky,youneedtobeheldto a one-and-done morality clause.

Muck up once and your are out forlife. Seems harsh, but how manyyouth see these guys do these kindsof stupid and wrong beatings/mur-ders/rapes/gun violations/drug vio-lations etc. and then the guy is backplaying later this year or next, so itmust be OK for our youth?”

BATAVIA— SteppingStones’ Fine ArtsGetaway, an annualsummer camp forpeople with dis-

abilities, marked the end of itsrecent eight-day run at CampAllyn here with a show featur-ing artwork and performancesby more than 50 campers.

“This is a chance for partici-pants to get a break from theirgroup homes, their parents orother caregivers,” said Megh-an Kessen, manager of recrea-tion and leisure for SteppingStones. “A lot of our partici-pants will save their money sothat they can attend. It’s kindof like their vacation.”

This year’s 54 participantsranged from age 12 to 84, Kes-sen said. Campers came from18 Ohio counties, as well asseveral other states. SteppingStones is a Greater CincinnatiUnited Way partner creatingpathways to independence formore than 1,000 children, teensand adults with disabilities,including autism, cerebralpalsy, Down syndrome, intel-lectual disabilities and seizuredisorders.

Stepping Stones’ summercamp program includes daycamps for school-age campersand overnight getaways forages 12 through adult. Theprograms help people withdisabilities discover and cele-brate their abilities.

Despite off and on rainwhen the camp ended on July23, campers’ friends and fam-ilies packed the pavilion atCamp Allyn to view partici-pants’ artwork. They also gotto see campers performMileyCyrus’s inspirational, “TheClimb,” Beyonce Knowles’‘Single Ladies” and ‘It’s a HardKnocks Life’ from the musical“Annie.”

A silent film featuring hu-mans and zombies that waswritten, directed and cast bycampers inspired cheers andapplause from the audience.

Afterward, visitors sampleddesserts created by campersduring a cooking class. Thecamp also offers archery, fish-ing, canoeing, swimming andnightly group events, such asmovies.

As a memento, Deanna Rob-bins took home a colorful tie-dyed piece of fabric bearingthe initials of her son, ErickDurbin, who lives in Mt. Re-pose.

“Erick’s been coming (toadult day camp) here 39 years,ever since he was 6,” his proudmother said. “He loves thiscamp.”

SEPTEMBER 24, 2014 • CJN-MMA • B3LIFE

This has been a busyweek. I was a featuredpresenter at MotherEarth News Fair in Penn-sylvania and my talk wason Bible herbs and foods

with anti-aging qual-ities.

One ofmy topicswas breadsincewheat wasone of thefirst, if notthe first,crop plant-ed back

then. A young womancame up to me afterwardand asked if I ever madechallah, the honey eggbread. Yes, I told her, Ihave. “Would you sendmeyour recipe?” she asked.Yes, I told her, I would.

As I write this, we’re aweekawayfromRoshHa-shanah, the Jewish NewYear, of which challah isan important food.Wejustgot a quart of honey fromour beekeeper, so todayI’m sharing a really goodrecipe for challah. It’sadapted from Joan Na-than’s, an expert on Jew-ish cuisine.

ChallahGrandson, Jack, loves

this sweeter type eggbread. A wonderful giftfrom the kitchen, as well.

This makes 2 loaves.Some people like to sprin-kle it with poppy or sesa-me seeds before baking.

2-1/2 cups warm water,110-115 degrees

1 tablespoon active dryyeast (not rapid rise)

1/2 cup honey1/4 cup Canola oil3 largeeggs, roomtem-

perature1 tablespoon salt8 cups unbleached all

purpose flour - I usedKing Arthur brand

Eggwash - 1 or 2 wholeeggs, beatenuntil blended

Sprinkle yeast overwarm water. On lowspeed, stir in honey, oil,eggs and salt until verywell blended.

Add flour, one cup at atime, beating after eachaddition.Youmaywinduphaving to beat by hand,depending upon the sizeof thebowl, ifyou’reusing

ahandor standmixer, etc.Removedough to light-

ly floured surface. Doughwill be sticky. Knead untilsmooth and elastic (like ababy’s bottom, my friendCarol says) and no longersticky, adding flour a bitat a time as needed. Becareful here - don’t addtoo much or bread will bedry. Cover with dampclean cloth and let rise un-til doubled in bulk - up to1-1/2 hours or so.

Punch dough down andagain place on lightlyfloured surface. Divide inhalf and knead each halffor a few more minutes,addingmore flour if need-ed. Again, be careful here- add just enough flour tokeep it from being sticky.

Divide each half intothirds and roll into ropesabout 1-1/2” wide. Pinchtop ends of each 3 ropestogether. Then, startingfrom the middle, startbraiding, again pinchingends after braiding.Leave as is or curve braidinto a circle and pinchends together very well. Ipinch and tuck ends un-der.

Spray 2 baking sheetsor use parchment paper.Put braids on. Brush witheggwash.Coverwith tow-el and let rise until dou-bled, about an hour. Pre-heat oven to 375.

Ifyouwanta lacqueredfinish, brush gently againwith egg wash. Bake for30-40 minutes. If you in-sert thermometer intocenter on bottom, breadwill register 190 degreeswhen done. Or tap it onbottom - it should soundhollow.

Even easier: Thaw fro-zen bread dough, then di-vide in thirds, make 3ropes and follow instruc-tions on label for rising,

etc.Thisbreadwon’t beassweet as homemade chal-lah, but it’s still good.

Hot mulled ciderI can’t believe the

weather has turned coolenough to enjoy a mug ofhot mulled cider. Whenthe kids were little, wemade cider from our or-chard apples. Wonderfulmemories of chilly au-tumn evenings, sitting bythe woodstove, sippingmulled cider. A healthysplash of apple brandy orspiced rum added bringsback pretty good memo-ries, too!

Bring ingredients to agentle boil, then lower to asimmer and cook, cov-

ered, about 10 minutes orso.Strain, addbrandy, andenjoy.

1 qt. apple ciderBrown sugar to taste -

start with 3 tablespoons4 whole ea. cloves and

allspice berriesSeveral pinches fresh-

This is the time ofyear when many consum-ers hire home improve-ment contractors to fixup items around theirhouse. Before you hire acontractor, you shouldknow there are some whojust take your money andrun.

I received a letterfrom a woman who hireda company to clean herroof and install new win-dows. She paid a $2,000deposit before any workwas done and, unfortu-nately, no work was everdone. Now the firm,which she says, neverordered the windows,wants to charge her arestocking fee after shecomplained and said shewants her money back.

Ohio Attorney GeneralMike DeWine says hisoffice has received morethan 60 complaints abouthome improvement con-

tractorssince June.Most of hiscomplaintsinvolveasphalt,concreteor pavingwork. Theaverageamount ofmoney

disputed is more than$3,000.

Most of those com-plaints involved shoddyresurfacing of the drive-way, rough spots orcracks in the concrete,improper drainage,driveways not level, andineffective and incom-plete sealing.

To protect yourselfalways check out a con-tractor with the BetterBusiness Bureau to makesure they have a goodrecord and have been inbusiness for a while. If

they’re a member of theBBB so much the betterbecause then the bureaucan mediate any prob-lems you may encounterwith the company.

Make sure you get acopy of the company’sworkers compensationand liability insurancepolicies. If the firmdoesn’t have both policiesto give you, go to anotherfirm.

Avoid paying a lot ofmoney upfront so thecontractor has an in-centive to return and dothe work. I suggest fol-lowing the CincinnatiHome Remodeling Ordi-nance and limiting yourdown payment to nomore than 10 percent ofthe cost of the job, exceptfor special order items.Never pay more than theamount of work that’sbeen satisfactorily com-pleted.

Make sure the con-tract you receive con-tains the company’sname, address and phonenumber. It should alsostate the start and com-pletion dates of the job.

Under the law youhave three days to cancela door-to-door sale. InOhio, the company mustalso give you a writtenright-to-cancel form tomail back. If you don’treceive such a cancella-tion form don’t do busi-ness with the company.Finally, don’t let the com-pany begin any workuntil three days havepassed.

Howdy Folks,Ruth Ann didn’t have a

chemo treatment lastweek. This week she hadone. So far it doesn’t hurther, thank God!

The week was full,same as other weeks. Iplanted somemore fallgarden spinach and moreonions. We like the fallgardens. It is so close towinter and the gardenitems taste so good. May-be it’s because we knowit won’t be long beforewe have cold and snow!

The Bethel Tate foot-ball Homecoming paradewas a good one. Bigcrowds lots of people inthe parade. Then theywon their football game.They have also won theirother two games. Con-gratulations from the olefisherman and wife.

The wind last weekblew a big limb off theash tree. There was abarn on one side and agrape harbor on the oth-er. The limb went downin the middle. Now wethink the Good Lord di-

rected thelimb.There willbe lots ofwood forthe car-pentershop thiswinter andthe littlelimbs willmake good

fire starters.After the Homecom-

ing parade, which wewere in for the LionsClub, the Grange washaving a bake sale at the360 Auction house. RuthAnn and I went down tohelp on the bake sale.The folks that run theauction are so glad whenthe Grange has the bakesale during the months ofJune, July and August. Itseems during these threemonths there is so muchfor the Grange to beinvolved with. The folkskeep asking when is theGrange going to be here.The 360 Auction suredraws a good crowd.

The Pierce family that

has the auction do a goodjob and are so friendly.They will meet you witha big smile. You probablywill see grandma pushingher grandson around in astroller. That makes thegrandson happy and alsograndpa. The grandsonlikes to take great-grand-pa’s cap off his head andput it on his.

The event the BoarsHead Bait Shop held forautism last Saturday wasa great success. Theyraised $4,100. The ladythat heads up this groupwas so happy. Mike isalways doing something

for a worthy cause. Thatis so important. Hisgrandma was at theevent and sure enjoyedherself.

I was talking to Dan-nie Grant, they havesome wonderful pump-kins. They have threestores, one at BucktownRoad, one at Ohio 131belowWilliam’s Cornerand the third one at theMilford Garden Center.Each one will have pump-kins, along with otheritems.

The green beans weplanted after the snappeas were harvested are

now ready to pick. Thelate green beans seem totaste better. Now RuthAnn is getting ready tocan green beans andsomemore vegetablejuice. The tomatoes havebeen plentiful this yearand the bell peppers havedone good, the limabeans are starting toshow signs of havingsome good beans. Thebroccoli and the sweetpotatoes are lookinggood. We are alwayseager to dig the sweetpotatoes, we sure likethem baked.

We haven’t been fish-

ing for sometime. If RuthAnn keeps getting alongas good as she is it won’tbe long. The water willbe soon be stirred by thebig crappie. We need tobe stocking the freezerup for winter.

Start your week bygoing to the house ofworship of your choiceand praise the GoodLord. God Bless All.More later.
