Honorees for this year’s awards honored during a dinner Nov. 12 were: Sam Tuten from Kinker-Everleigh Insurance, Tom and Callae Sutton from Chick-fil-A in Eastgate, and For- mer State Sen. Tom Niehaus. Tuten was presented with the Edward J. Parish Pacesetter Award. This award, named in honor of the former Clermont County Chamber president, is presented annually to honor a businessperson living or work- ing in Clermont Colunty who has genuine concern for the welfare of Clermont County and its residents and has exhibited outstanding qualities of charac- ter, citizenship and leadership. “So we think of Sam as some- one with a genuine concern,” Clermont Chamber President Matt Van Sant said. Throughout his career, Tuten has been a true volunteer dedicating hours and hours of personal and profes- sional time to the betterment of the county, he said. In addition to serving on var- ious boards and committees, Tu- ten was one of the founders be- hind a couple of programs: the Rainbow Program which was involved with planting daffodils at key community gateways, and the Heritage Fest at the Clermont County Fairgrounds. The intent behind Heritage Fest was to recognize and re- spect the long, rich history of the community, Van Sant said. Tom and Callae Sutton were presented with the Corporate Pacesetter Award. This award recognizes an organization which has displayed genuine concern for the welfare of Cler- mont County and its residents and has exhibited outstanding qualities of corporate citizen- ship and leadership. “We just think Tom and Call- ae Sutton and their team are amazing,” Van Sant said. The company has a positive influ- ence and is closed on Sundays out of respect for its employees and families. Tom Sutton stepped up immediately when the county established its Reds Rookie Success League. The Reds Rookie Success League is a free, co-ed, charac- ter-building summer baseball program featuring baseball in- struction and a character-based curriculum. The program is of- fered four days a week for two weeks in Clermont County. With the support of Charley Frank at the Reds Community Fund and organizations like Chick-fil-A, Clermont County has one of the premiere Reds Rookie Success League programs, Van Sant said. Tom Sutton not only is a pre- senter at the success league, but also provides complementary lunch for more than 300 chil- dren. The Suttons and their team also show up at UC Clermont College during fundraising events for scholarships. They volunteer on Saturday morn- ings, provide complimentary sandwiches for the runners, bring the cow suit and try to connect with kids to give them hope and promise. Niehaus was presented with the Martha Dorsey Public Ser- vice Award. This award is pre- sented to an individual former- ly engaged in public service who has displayed genuine con- cern for the welfare of Cler- mont County and its residents and exhibited outstanding qual- ities of citizenship and leader- ship. Niehaus served in the Ohio House of Representatives from 2001 to 2004, was the state sena- tor for the 14 th District from 2005 to 2012 and served as presi- dent of the Ohio Senate from 2011 to 2012. “Tom is just an overall tre- mendous guy. The kind of guy with the type of skills you need to be successful,” Van Sant said. He serves on the chamber’s board of directors. He’s good at negotiations, mediation, con- flict resolution, and is a great listener. He received numerous awards and recognition outside of the general assembly and is involved in various groups and organizations. The chamber recruited Nie- haus to work on a new chamber initiative.

JANUARY 6, 2016 • CJN-MMA • 5ANEWS

I was talking to Ron Wilsonduring his “In the Garden withRon Wilson” radio show aboutfood trends for 2016. All I can sayis “hah!”

Once again without even try-ing, I’m on the cutting edge of

trendiness. Not bad for a

country girl whohangs clothes outon the line andgathers wildgreens, includingpurslane, a trendy“weed,” which ishigh on the omega3 list.

Here are someof my favorite

trends:Home remedies: DIY, which

I’ve been doing for eons. FromEpsom salt baths to homemadecough syrups; look for the mediato latch onto these old time reme-dies.

The doc and you: Consideryour health care pro to be part ofyour team, not just someone whodispenses medicine. They appre-ciate when you take an activepart by asking questions andbeing honest about your healthexpectations.

From root to seed: Look forall parts of some produce to beused, like veggie root ends forstock and green tops for salads,etc. Chefs are using the swollenseed heads of radishes as spicyadditions to stir fries and salads.

Seaweed: A natural bloodpurifier with calcium and alkaliz-ing properties. Helps removestoxins. Think of sushi: Nori iswhat we use for that. AlsoArame, that black seaweed foundin deli salads and Dulse, which isred seaweed and tastes a bit likebacon.

Pulses/dried beans: Likedried lentils, chickpeas, beans,peas. Good for your heart.

Cabbage family: Not justcabbage, but members like ka-lettes, a cross between kale andBrussels sprouts. Try kohlrabi,which tastes to me like a mix ofcabbage and broccoli, but sweet-er. Huge anti-cancer properties.

Veggie “steaks”: A big slab ofgrilled or roasted butternutsquash fits here.

Whole and mother grains:Same as last year - quinoa, bulgh-ur, etc.

We use bulghur exclusively inour tabouleh. Your body absorbswhole grains slowly so you don’tget a surge of carbs.

Protein bowls: Healthy meatsand seafood along with wholegrains as a base for entrees andsalads.

Readers want to knowHigh heat cooking oils: Re-

fined almond, canola, grape seed,safflower, sesame and sunflowerare good choices. Avocado, bothrefined and unrefined has a highheat tolerance, as well.

Tofu: Soft is best for smooth-ies. Try silken soft. It blends uprich and creamy, augmentingsmoothies with calcium, proteinand other nutrients. Plus it helpslower cholesterol.

Rita’s hummus

1 can, approx. 15 oz., chickpeas drained and rinsed.

Chickpeas contain iron, calcium, potassium andvitamins. A “to taste” recipe.

1 good clove garlic (1 teaspoon or so, minced)1/4 cup lemon juice or to taste3 tablespoons Tahini or more to taste

(Tahini, or sesame seed paste contains bone-build-ing calcium and vitamins.)

1 teaspoon cumin1/4 cup plain yogurt2 tablespoons olive oil, or to tasteSalt to taste

Blend everything well. I make mine in the foodprocessor.

Rita’s hummus video: Check it out on my Aboutea-ting.com site.

Open-face veggie sandwich

I like to make this on a whole-wheat bagel thin.Spread some hummus (or guacamole) on bagel half.Top with cucumber, tomato and olives or your favor-

ite veggies

Chipotle turkey bagelTry the different varieties, from mild to spicy. Sub

guacamole for chipotle mayo. A high-protein sandwich.

1 bagel1 curly green lettuce leaf3 slices turkey2 slices tomato

1 tablespoon chipotle mayonnaise

Chipotle mayonnaiseStart with a cup of mayo, then stir in chipotles in

adobo sauce to taste. I like to puree my chipotles in adobosauce - that way, I don’t get chunks of spicy hot peppers.Lasts a long time in frig.

On a toasted bagel, assemble sandwich with lettuce,turkey and tomato and top with chipotle mayo.

Nutella apple bagel.Kids love this: smear some Nutella on a bagel half.

Top with sliced apples and cinnamon.

Howdy folks ... hope you hada good Christmas – I sure did.

On Christmas morning Iwent to my daughter’s home forbreakfast. That evening all myfamily were there for the eve-ning meal, then all of us went totheir lower level to open Christ-mas packages. Wow! I made, asI wrote in another column, allthe Christmas gifts out of wood.There were 20 items – everyonesure enjoyed the gifts.

I was talking to a group ofseniors at the senior center inDecember and I asked howmany of them had somethingthere grandpa had made forthem when they were young?There were six hands that wentup – that is great. One lady hadtears in her eyes – she said theitem is where I can see it all day.

Now the carpenter shop willget busy making a toy box formy daughter to put the toys inthat my grandson's had whenthey were little. She said thetoys are in the cedar chest RuthAnn and I made for both of ourdaughters years ago, so this toybox needs to be big.

Now before Iforget it Mr.Chester is fine.The last columnI forgot to writeabout him and alady at the storeasked if Chesteris OK? She saidyou didn't men-tion him in thecolumn. When I

get up in the morning I alwaysfeed him his breakfast firstbefore I make coffee. He isvery impatient – after I makecoffee I get the bottle of Boostto drink. Now he is watching meand when I go to my chair towatch the news he will leave hisfood to come set on my lap andlick the Boost I put in the cap.When the Boost is empty, hejumps down and goes to eat therest of his breakfast.

They sure train us good – heis a blessing for me. He likes tolay on my lap. He came to mewhile I was writing this. Ithought he wanted to go out butno, he could see the bottom ofhis dry food bowl. When I put

more dry food in, he sat down toeat.

I was going through somebooks and I found a BrushyMountain Bee Book that got meto thinking about honeybees.The time will be here before werealize it for the honeybees tostart working and some startswarming. If you have anyswarms give me a call and I willcome and get them. The hon-eybees need all the help theycan get. We are still losing sev-eral hives of honey bees.

Looking at the bee book,there are several differentkinds of bee equipment items.Each year someone has made anew honeybee box or some-thing. I saw in the book a conestyle trap. There are severaldifferent types of bees suits andjackets. I like the inspectorjacket with zip – it is easy to geton when there is nobody to helpyou. I always enjoy the hon-eybees and when working withthem or getting a swarm I al-ways talk to them. Now I don'tknow if they understand but ithelps them to keep calm.

I was at the last historicalmeeting at the Grant Museumin Bethel. They said at the firstmeeting in February, Tony willbe there telling how the Indiansmade maple syrup in a hollowlog. I have seen him give thispresentation so you might wantto visit the museum and hearhow the Indians did this. It isinteresting. Tony has the way ofthe Indians and how they lived.The museum will be open thefirst Saturday in February –Feb. 6. There is a lot of items tosee. There is a picture of thegold mine in the East Fork Lakearea.

Was talking to Danny Grant –he said he picked and sold 71⁄2pounds of green tomatoes onChristmas Eve at the stateRoute 131 greenhouse. Thesewere the plants they planted inFebruary. He said they areplanning to plant their greenhouses of tomatoes early. Theyhave tomato plants up and willbe ready to put in buckets inFebruary so they will have ripeand green tomatoes early nextyear. I understand they sold

several hundred pounds of to-matoes by the time we weresetting out tomato plants in ourgardens.

Have you gotten any seedcatalogs yet? I have six so far.One has the little Parisian car-rots in it – they are round andLake Manor Restaurant on stateRoute 68 by Grant Lake hasthem in the salad area. I haveraised them for a few years.They are so good – they looklike a radish but when you fixthe little carrots they are sogood. The seed catalog I have isSeeds N Such in South Carolina.I ordered some of the Parisianseeds today before they get inshort supply. In the past theyran out so I am set – I will plantseveral beds of these. My fam-ily sure likes them.

Start your week by going tothe house of worship of yourchoice and praising the goodLord.

God bless all...More later.George Rooks is a retired

Carving out Christmas memories for family

George RooksOLE FISHERMAN

On the heels of the massa-cre Dec. 2 in San Bernardino,California, by Islamists,President Obama and hisattorney general, LorettaLynch, seemed anxious toredirect criticism of Islam toan attack on both FirstAmendment and SecondAmendment rights.

This, despite the fact thatan estimated 27,497 deadlyassaults world-wide by Mus-lim extremists have occurredsince Sept. 11, 2001.

At first inferring that SanBernardino may be “work-place violence,” while callingfor gun control, Obama laterequated the massacre to otherrecent mass shootings in theUnited States, claiming thatterrorism has no relation tothe religion of peace that isIslam.

Obama has likened today’sMuslim jihadism to atrocitiescommitted in the the name ofChrist 800 years ago duringthe Crusades and 600 yearsago during the Inquisition.

At a Muslim Advocatesdinner in Arlington, Virginia,Dec. 3, Lynch suggested thatthe Justice Department wouldinvestigate anti-Muslim rhet-oric deemed hostile to Mus-lims. She back pedaled Dec. 7in Chicago by saying,” Ofcourse, we prosecute deedsand not words.”

On Dec. 10, in an interviewon Fox News, former Depart-ment of Homeland Securityagent Philip Haney said that

an investiga-tion he wasconductinginto a SunniIslamic groupoperating inthe UnitedStates wasquashed bythe State De-partment andthe HomelandSecurity Of-fice for CivilRights and

Civil Liberties. Why? Becausethe Federal government didnot want to profile Islamicgroups. Haney said that hisprobe may have helped pre-vent San Bernardino.

Why is the Federal govern-ment desirous of squelchinginvestigations into Muslimgroups and criticism of Islam-ic jihadist teaching? The an-swer may lay in the staffingof the Obama Administration.

In 1994, University of Ha-waii researcher R.J. Rummelpublished his study, “Deathby Government,” which de-tailed the murder of nearly170 million people during the20th Century largely by so-cialist and communist dicta-torships. In the materialisticworldview of Marxism, theindividual exists to serve thestate and is dispensable whenhe no longer meets the state’sneeds and objectives.

Similarly, in Islamic philos-ophy the individual is nothing– Allah is everything. The

goal of Islam is a worldwideIslamic Caliphate (State)ruled by Sharia Law requiringand enforcing subservienceand allegiance to Allah inevery detail of life.

Dec. 7, at a mosque in Ster-ling, Virginia, Department ofHomeland Security Chief JehJohnson admitted that hisgrandfather had been in-vestigated in 1949 by the U.S.Congress for suspected ties tothe Communist Party. Helikened the current climate of“fear, suspicions, and preju-dice” against Muslim im-migrants to the Red Scare andMcCarthyism.

Other Obama Administra-tion officials, including thepresident himself, have fam-ily members and mentorswhose ties were sympatheticto the Communist Party:White House adviser ValerieJarrett and former politicaladviser David Axelrod. For-mer green jobs “czar” VanJones is a self-describedMarxist.

Does the affinity betweenCommunism and Islam ex-plain why the administrationwould appoint Muslims withsuspected connections to theMuslim Brotherhood to highsecurity positions in our gov-ernment? Consider that thenext time Obama claims thatISIL (the Islamic State) hasno connection to Islam.

Is Communism being replaced by Jihadism?

RandyKleine COMMUNITYPRESS GUESTCOLUMNIST

Clermont County’s first“amber alert” was issued onJuly 13, 1804, when 11 year-oldLydia Osborn of Williamsburg,went missing.

Lydia and her younger sis-ter Matilda went to retrievethe family cows which weregrazing in the “big field.” Theydidn’t find the cows in thefield, but heard the “tinkling”of cow bells in the distance.The girls separated to pursuethe cows. Matilda came home,Lydia didn’t.

The heart rending alarm,“lost child,” was raisedthroughout the community.According to Rev. J. Finley,“Every heart was touched andsoon in every direction torcheswere seen flashing their lightsinto the darkness of the forest.Bells were rung, horns wereblown, and guns were fired.”But there was no response.

Cornelius Washburn, thefamed backwoodsman whowas later killed by Indians inYellowstone, arrived on thethird day with 500 volunteers.Within a week, the number ofvolunteers had grown to 1,000,many of whom were fromKentucky. Washburn foundLydia’s temporary campsite.Lydia’s father, Ebeneezer, wasdistraught. Finley said, “sor-row drank up his spirits, andhe refused to be comforted.When hope was rekindled heseemed like one frantic, andflew in every direction callingmost piteously the name of hischild ‘Lydia!’ ‘Lydia!’”

On day 15, searcherscrossed over White Oak Creek.They found footprints in thesand and followed the trail to asmall shelter built of sticksand covered with moss. Thesearchers were all hard bittenmen, frontiersman who hadconfronted “savages” and“wild beasts.” They gatheredaround the shelter. Even forthese men, the emotion of themoment was too much. AsFinley recalled, these men“whose hearts were neverknown to quail with fear-

…were melt-ed to tears.”Ebeneezerexclaimed“Oh Lydia! OhLydia!, mydear child, areyou yetalive?” Withthat, “a thou-sand heartsbroke forth inuncontrol-

lable grief.”Fanning out from “Lydia’s

Camp,” the searchers foundfootprints, horse tracks, andthen her bonnet. Later, theydiscovered a several days oldIndian camp. They came to theinevitable conclusion, under-scoring a common saying ofthe day: “The lost were neverfound.”

Lydia’s father never stoppedsearching for his daughter.

Years later, an old Indiantrader told Lydia’s mother thathe came across a white womanfitting Lydia’s description liv-ing with a group of DelawareIndians near Muncie, Indiana.Lydia’s brothers went to Mun-cie and found their sister. Shewas totally integrated into thetribe with friends, an Indianhusband, and children. Lydiawas torn between the twoworlds. She wanted to see hermother, but refused to leaveher Indian family. Shortlyafterwards, she moved withher tribe across the Mississip-pi River, becoming lost to his-tory.

Lydia’s experience was notuncommon on the frontier.American Indians for centu-ries kidnapped members ofother tribes and adopted theminto theirs. They continued thispractice after European settle-ment. Often, the captives werefully satisfied with their livesand voluntarily decided to staywith their new families.

Dec. 23/30 questionLooking to 2016, if you can

grant one wish for your commu-nity, what would it be?

“To blatantly coin a phrasefrom the movie ‘Miss Conge-niality,’ world peace would be anice wish come true for 2016.Sadly, that looks to be woefullydifficult to attain.

“If not world peace, thenperhaps we can strive for Ohiopeace. Failing that, AndersonTownship peace would be OK.We are extremely lucky to live

in a place such as Andersonand it is relatively peacefuland safe, but even here, not for

everyone.“If we can't even get com-

plete peace in Anderson in2016, we can all vow to putforth the onerous effort need-ed to at least use our turn sig-nals to indicate each and everyupcoming turn. What do yousay Anderson? Let's all just tryto get along by using turn sig-nals. Once we get that going,world peace doesn't seem likesuch a stretch goal after all.”

OWENSVILLE - Securingwins in the Holiday Classicthey hosted Dec. 28-29 wouldhave served the 2-7 ClermontNortheastern Rockets well.However, the desired resultsdidn’t come to fruition.

Players and coaches con-tinue looking for ways to sty-mie the slide the Rockets havebeen on to open this season. Ofthe games CNE has played pri-or to Jan. 2, four are single-dig-it losses.

“It’s just been one of thoseseasons where we aren’t clos-ing games well,” coach JimJones said. “We’re in the tough-est part of our schedule, whichhasn’t helped, either.”

What’s been plaguing theRockets isn’t a lack of talent.

Senior guard Nick Ernst isone of the more prolific scor-ers in the city. He is among thetop-20 in points per game (19.4)in the city.

“Nick is a very good player,”Jones said. “He’s a three-yearvarsity player and does a lot ofgood things for our team. Hewas one of the ones we expect-ed good things from before theseason began.”

Grant Fishback and Chris

Coleman are both top-five inthe city in blocks and combineto average better than 15points per game.

Other players like DavidSmith and Kody Boyd haveprovided production as well.

In the big picture, the teamlooks fine. The issue is with thenitty-gritty.

“Turnovers have come at in-opportune times,” the coachsaid. “Then, there are littlethings like not boxing out onfree throws and giving the oth-er team opportunities for sec-ond-chance points. The kidssee they are getting close towins, but they can’t get overthe hump. They are making toomany physical, mental mis-takes right now.”

He added that one of theonly ways the team can getpast the rough start is by con-tinuing to work in practice toclean up some of the glaring er-rors. Some wins would do won-ders as well.

The Rockets do have winna-ble games this month againstthe likes of Taylor, New Rich-mond and Blanchester, whomthey beat early in December.

“When we do the littlethings well, we pay it off withbigger, better things,” Jonessaid.

Team Canada won thepremier under-19 inter-national lacrosse compe-tition, but their champi-onship series opponentreturns to the Midwestwith more knowledge, ex-perience, and confidencein 2016.

Team Ohio represent-ed the United States atthe eighth Brogden Cupin Tampa to kick off thenew year.

The team, coached byMoeller head coach SeanMcGinnis, featured 11 lo-cal players.

Team Ohio qualifiedfor the Brogden Cup bywinning the Brine All-American Lacrosse Na-tional Classic in July.

The best-of-three se-ries against Canada didnot go the Americans’way.

Team Canada won thefirst two matches, 14-9and 19-10.

Team Ohio alsodropped an exhibitionagainst Team Florida, 8-6.It was still a special week-end for Team Ohio.

“We’re frustrated thatwe didn’t win a game, butour coaches and playersgot to have a great experi-ence,” said McGinnis.“This has been a great op-portunity to learn and seelacrosse at a higher level.I definitely think the kidswill walk away from thisexperience seeing how la-crosse is played at thehighest level, which willhelp them as they getready for their next sea-son.”

Canada’s squad wascomprised of players se-

lected from the OntarioJunior Men’s Field La-crosse League.

Their experience andtalent was too much forTeam Ohio, but the Amer-ican players will returnhome with tips picked upfrom facing their interna-tional opponent.

“It was a cool experi-ence to play with kidswho are going to top tierschools and to go againstdifferent styles of playthat we don’t get to seeback home,” Moeller sen-ior Jack Richey said.

“I learned a lot of con-cepts and plays that youdon’t see in Americanfield lacrosse.”

Many of the Canadianplayers grew up playingindoor or box lacrossefrom a young age.

Ohio has been consid-ered an up-and-comingstate for lacrosse but itwas not until this eventthat the rest of NorthAmerica fully took no-tice. Both the head of the

Brogden Cup and of TeamCanada remarked at how

impressive it was forOhio, not known as a tra-

ditional lacrosse hotbed,to be representing TeamUSA.

“It was great to repre-sent our region and statein this event,” McGinnissaid.

“Who’d have thoughtthat we’d have a teamfrom Ohio in the BrogdenCup?”

Team Ohio players willreturn for the junior orsenior high school sea-sons with an extra bit ofconfidence and motiva-tion.

After facing someplayers who are beingrecruited by the top col-lege lacrosse programs inNorth America, theyhave a deeper apprecia-tion for the skills it takesto reach that level.

“It was an honor beingportrayed as some of thetop lacrosse players inthe country,” said Richey.

“It was really specialto me to be considered apart of that.”
