Sheriff’s Office responded to 8overdoes calls and saved 8 livesby administering Narcan.

So far in 2016, the depart-ment has responded to 2 callsand saved 2 lives.

Information provided by theClermont County Sheriff’sOffice.

For the Clermont CountySheriff’s Office, it’s asimple answer to a com-

plex problem. It’s saving lives.Since September 2014, the

department has been adminis-tering Naloxone, or more spe-cifically Narcan, to opiateoverdose victims.

Deputies have adminis-tered Narcan in 38 differentoverdose situations sincestarting the program. In thesesituations, 35 lives were saved.

The bottom line is it saveslives, Sheriff A.J. “Tim” Ro-denberg said.

In fact, Rodenberg said, thefirst person officers adminis-tered Narcan to was a preg-nant woman, who had over-dosed in October 2014. Thewoman survived.

“If not for (the use of Nar-can), she and her baby couldeasily have died,” Rodenbergsaid.

Chief Deputy Stephen Lea-hy, who serves on the ClermontCounty Opiate Task Force, rec-ommended that the depart-ment take advantage of fund-ing available through the Cler-mont County Mental Healthand Recovery Board.

This funding provided thedepartment with the resourcesto get started.

“When we first started, po-lice were resistant to thechange,” Leahy said referringto the department taking on arole in administering Narcan.

Thirty days after startingthe program, though, the feed-back was very positive, hesaid. The officers were sayingthey had never had a chance tosave a life before and having

the Narcan available, theywere given that opportunity.

“We really look at it as an-other tool (in law enforce-ment),” Leahy said.

Officers receive from 2.5 to3 hours of training via onlineinstruction and from repre-sentatives with ClermontCounty Public Health.

The Clermont County Sher-iff’s Office has 25 emergencykits, each of which containstwo doses of Narcan.

Each police cruiser is out-fitted with a first aid kit con-taining the Narcan doses.

Narcan is a nasal inhalerthat serves as an inhibitor.

“It stops the opiate fromshutting the central nervoussystem down,” Leahy said.

If not too far along, Narcanstops the opiate from shuttingthe nervous system down andrestores proper breathing andheart rate.

However, Leahy cautionedthat Narcan can stop an over-dose, but it doesn’t cure an ad-diction.

Additional treatments isstill needed, he said.

Officers provide the familymembers of overdose victimswith a packet providing sup-port group and resource infor-mation.

Leahy said that after anoverdose is when a person ismost likely to seek treatment.

Addressing whether treat-ing an overdose victim withNarcan has had a substantialimpact, Leahy said that offi-cers have not had to respond asecond time to any of the 35who were saved by Narcan.

However, not every law en-forcement agency in ClermontCounty is outfitted with Nalox-one.

Lt. Michael Bennett of thePierce Township Police De-partment said that the officersin his department do not carryor administer Narcan. There

are no plans to change thispractice in the future, he indi-cated.

“Our rationale for this is thequick response times of ourfire and ems department,” hesaid. “They either beat us tothe overdose or arrive close tothe same time we do.”

Michelle Lydenberg, an in-jury prevention coordinatorwith Clermont County PublicHealth, said the county has notonly seen a rise in heroin over-doses, but also overdoses in-volving Fentanyl, which is pre-

Miles Miller, a crew chiefwith the Milford CommunityFire Department, says the de-partment has administeredNarcan in a wide variety of cir-cumstances.

“We have responded to par-ents finding their children -even children finding theirparents - unconscious after anoverdose situation,” Millersaid.

“We have been called forpeople unconscious in vehiclesat local shopping centers, of-ten due to overdose.

“At times people are foundunconscious, outside in a yardor behind a building,” Miller

said.“While the scene and cir-

cumstances sometimes vary,why we are giving Narcan isalways the same.

“At some point during theoriginal call or during our ini-tial assessment, we acquire in-formation that points towardsa possible opiate overdose,”Miller said.

“Recently heroin has beenthe prevalent drug.”

How does the fire depart-ment determine a personneeds Narcan?

“What we typically find onour arrival is the patient hasvery shallow breathing or theyare not breathing at all, skincolor is pale or cyanotic, mostoften the patient is uncon-

scious, and the most typicalfinding is extremely constrict-ed pupils, referred to as ‘pin-point,’” Miller said.

“We also gain informationthrough bystanders that mayadmit to heroin use, or by find-ing paraphernalia on or nearthe patient.

“We will then administerNarcan and hopefully see thepatient start breathing moreadequately, skin color will re-turn and they will becomemore alert,” Miller said.

Most often we transportthese patients to the hospital.

“Each person reacts differ-ently to the opiate and the Nar-can, so it is best for the patientto go to the ER for monitoringand evaluation,” Miller said.

Miller said two things reallystick with him about these situ-ations.

“It’s difficult responding toa home where a child has foundtheir mom or dad unconsciouson the floor,” Miller said.

“There are enough chal-lenges for children in today’sworld and this shouldn’t haveto be one of them.

“Also, responding to thescene where it is too late for usto save this patient, and we lat-er find out they had just comeout of rehab for the same is-sue,” Miller said.

“Clearly they knew theyhad a problem and were tryingto fix it, but for whatever rea-son, they were unable to over-come the battle.”

Miller said the communityneeds to know that Narcan willnot always save a patient’s life.

“We have already seen thattoday’s heroin oftentimes re-quires more Narcan than in thepast,” Miller said.

“The heroin is becomingstronger and the tolerance toNarcan is increasing.

“There are pros and cons toNarcan becoming easier to ac-cess, but the community needsto understand that Narcan willnot be the miracle we are hop-ing for,” Miller said.

“Support from family,friends, and the communitywill provide the best outcomefor these people.”

BRIEFLY

Two former schoolboard members are on theballot for Clermont Coun-ty commissioner.

Republicans BarbBruner and David Painterare campaigning for theterm commencing Jan. 3,2017.

Both Bruner and Paint-er responded to a ques-tionnaire regarding whatthey consider some of the

most significant issues inthe county, their goals ifelected and what type ofleader residents can ex-pect.

Bruner, who lives inBatavia, served on the Ba-tavia Local School Dis-trict Board of Educationfrom 2000 to 2011. Duringthat time Bruner servedseveral years on an em-ployee contract negotia-tion team for the board.Since 1990, Bruner hasbeen owner and adminis-trator of Batavia Heights

Christian Child Care.Painter, who is a resi-

dent of New Richmond,served eight years on theNew Richmond Exempt-ed Village Board of Edu-cation. Painter has a 40-year career in the con-struction and engineeringfield. Painter has been in-volved in volunteer ef-forts such as serving on aHurricane Katrina reliefteam.

Why are you runningfor Clermont CountyCommissioner?

Bruner: “I have a vi-sion for this county and apassion for the peoplewho live and work here.Our county is growingrapidly, but we are still acommunity.”

Painter: “I want toserve the people of Cler-mont County and help setour course of direction forthe future. I am commit-ted to getting back to thebasics: managing withinour means, saving andpreparing for the future,evaluating the quality ofcounty services, eliminat-ing unneeded expendi-tures, reducing the size ofgovernment and eliminat-ing interference in ourfree market system.”

What do you considera priority?

Bruner: “I will work,together with all of ourelected city, township andcounty officials, to makeClermont the ‘county ofchoice’ for families andbusinesses.”

Painter: “Job creationand the health of our coun-ty. I am committed to‘raising the bar’ for allClermont County resi-dents. Projects to createjobs in Clermont Countymust be well planned and

help foster a free enter-prise and a free tradeatmosphere. ”

What do you considerthe greatest issue in thecounty? How would youattempt to resolve it?

Bruner: “We mustwork together as a com-munity to stem the tide onthe drug problem and thecrime associated withthat abuse. Intense col-laboration with law en-forcement, county agen-cies and schools to pre-vent and treat the thou-sands of families affectedby drug abuse will be mytop priority.”

Painter: “The health ofour county is being im-pacted by the growingopiate addiction problemthat is sweeping our na-tion. Our current courseto manage this epidemicisn’t working and a newdirection is needed. Thecourse has to include edu-cation, penalties, redemp-tion, and the ability to re-sume a roll as a produc-tive citizen.”

What are your imme-diate goals? What areyour long-range goals?

Bruner: “My goal is tolisten to the issues facedby the families that liveand work in this countyand to work toward find-ing solutions in areas thatneed to be addressed. It iscritical to maintain agrowing and economical-ly desirable environment

in which to raise a familyand encourage businessto choose Clermont Coun-ty.

“Long range goals areto insure that ClermontCounty residents andbusinesses will choosethis county over any otherto locate.”

Painter: “Ensuring thatClermont County officeshave the needed re-sources to provide qualityservices for the citizensof our county would be animmediate goal of mine.Evaluating the revenuestreams and reviewinghow our tax money is be-ing spent is essential toaligning goals with theneeds of the county.

“Long range goalswould include evaluatingour county services forquality and cost. If a ser-vice isn’t working ordoesn’t service the resi-dents of Clermont County,then let’s change it.”

How would you de-scribe your leadershipstyle?

Bruner: “I am an ex-ceptional listener, prob-lem solver and communi-cator.”

Painter: “I don’t be-lieve that all the best an-swers are at the top of anorganization. Empower-ing team members tomake decisions results inhigh quality organizationswhere team members en-

joy their jobs.”What area would you

concentrate on? Eco-nomic development, in-frastructure improve-ment, safety, transpor-tation or some otherarea?

Bruner: “I would con-centrate on the safety andwell-being of the citizensof this county. When acommunity feels safe andsecure in their environ-ment, there is room for re-sponsible economicgrowth and other areas ofdevelopment to occur.”

Painter: “As a full timecommissioner my con-centration will include allareas of our county gov-ernment. Providing need-ed and required countyservices, economic devel-opment, infrastructureimprovement, safety,transportation, and waterservices are a few of themany concerns that willfill my daily planner.”

What are some ofyour interests?

Bruner: “My entire lifehas been spent caring forfamilies in our communi-ty. Helping people reachtheir goals in life bringssatisfaction to my life.”

Painter: “My personalinterests include spend-ing relaxed time with myfamily, Cincinnati Redsand Bengals games, thea-ter, music and reading his-tory and current eventsgenres.”

scription opioid.Lydenberg said that overdose

deaths have encompassed a widerange of ages. She said that in2014, 83 percent of the overdosedeaths in Clermont County werebetween the ages of 25 and 54.

Lydenberg also provided afew other details, adding thatmany of those who have died ofan overdose were single or di-vorced and that more males thanfemales have died of an over-dose.

She said geographically, thesedeaths have been spread out butthat typically these deaths are inhigher population areas.

Lydenberg, who is also a localrepresentative of the OpiateTask Force, echoed Leahy in say-ing that Narcan is one tool amongmany to combat the heroin prob-lem.

It is also imperative peoplehave access to treatment ser-vices, she said.

While not serving as a solutionby itself, Lydenberg did say thatthe availability of Narcan overthe counter is not necessarily a

bad thing as long as the peopleadministering it are properlytrained by a pharmacist or otherprofessional.

“It’s relatively safe and easyto use,” she said. “Research hasshown that lay people are just aseffective in administering it.”

With the heroin problem con-tinuing to escalate, Lydenbergsaid the Opiate Task Force hasdeveloped several strategies tocombat the problem.

These include:» increasing access to treat-

ment;» preventing misuse of opi-

ates before people are addicted;» reducing the harm associat-

ed with opioid use through vari-ous means such as the use of Nar-can;

» reducing the supply of opi-ates in the community.

“The key is working togetheracross different sectors to com-bat this problem,” Lydenbergsaid.

Leahy, though, does not seethe heroin problem abating anytime soon.

“I believe the numbers will in-crease in 2016,” he said.

However, Leahy also thinks acollaborative approach involv-ing education, law enforcementand initiatives in the public andprivate sector can yield a posi-tive outcome.

Seeing this “tapering off”would be a potential victory, hesaid, adding that he is optimisticthe usage of heroin may start tosee a gradual decrease by theend of the year or in early 2017.

Though police departmentsare on the front lines of the her-oin problem in most communi-ties, they are getting help fromtheir city halls and communityleaders.

Montgomery recently con-ducted a community leadershipforum, where the heroin prob-lem in the area was one of thetopics, Montgomery PoliceChief Don Simpson said.

“The police and fire depart-ments presented to a largegroup of residents and held aquestion and answer session af-

terward. We discussed the needfor a multi-faceted approach tothis issue,” Simpson said, add-ing Sycamore CommunitySchools Superintendent FrankForsthoefel, all the members ofcouncil and leaders from faith-based organizations attended.

The heroin problem is one is-sue that “A Community Unit-ed,” a Milford-area communitygroup formed last year, is tak-ing on.

The group is made up of pub-lic safety officials, local govern-ment leaders, school adminis-trators, the Drug Free Coalitionand faith-based leaders.

“A Community United is stillgoing strong, but we aren’t ex-clusively dedicated to fightingheroin. We meet quarterly tocollaborate on community prob-lems. Heroin just so happens tobe our top problem, so we havefocused on a multi-disciplinaryapproach,” Milford Police ChiefJamey Mills said.

Simpson said the Blue AshMontgomery Rotary Club host-ed a members of the HamiltonCounty Heroin Task Force Co-alition to learn about differentapproaches that are happeningthroughout the county.

“We believe that education

and prevention are the keys toresponding to the heroin crisisin our region and community fo-rums, such as the one we hostedand others like them, are an im-portant part of opening up dia-logue with our partners in thecommunity to develop solutionsto address this significant prob-lem,” Simpson said.

Mills said the Milford group,in addition to hosting communi-ty events, provides a list of freedrug rehabilitation services tothe Clermont County courts.

Milford Police Chief Ja-mey Mills recommendsresidents always reportsuspicious activity, but saidit’s difficult to predict whatactions an officer mighttake on the reports.

“It depends on the total-ity of the circumstances,”Mills said.

“Police officers are re-quired to have ‘reasonable

articulable suspicion’ in or-der to detain a person.

“In some scenarios, thewitness account may beenough to justify a deten-tion, but in most cases theofficer will need to base hisstop on personal observa-tions,” Mills said.

Endless poverty, dev-astation and desper-ation were beyondanything Rev. Wen-dell Mettey had seen

when he arrived in Nicaraguawith a group of doctors andnurses during a 1990 medicalmission trip.

Mettey was the pastor for amedical missionary team onthat first Nicaragua trip, buthad served the inner city associal worker and pastor inCincinnati. He promised toreturn to help the people ofNicaragua. Back at Montgo-mery Community BaptistChurch where he was pastor,he told the story of the infec-tious ward of a hospital withone bar of soap.

That’s where it all began.Mettey founded the Matthew25: Ministries in 1991. Twenty-five years later the organiza-tion has gone from suitcases tosemis shipping humanitarianaid supplies to more than 60countries spanning the globe.His son Tim Mettey now con-tinues leading the mission ascurrent CEO of M25M. He wasin high school when his dadfirst returned with those sto-ries of poverty and despair.

“That conveyed a need,”Tim Mettey said. “To be thatmuch inspired to do somethingabout it said a lot. That was mydad’s story. We heard thesethings.”

Tim Mettey remembershelping with small collectionsthat just filled suitcases withsupplies for that first returntrip. He and his sister made thetrip with their father. It was anadventure for the 16-year-old.They went to the village hospi-tal to work during the trip.

“We’re in 100-degree heatpainting this hospital whichhad never been painted,” Met-tey recalled. “I remembervividly the thing that touchedme. They came in, laid a babyon the table; they all just staredand the baby was fighting tolive or die. Here I am as a teen-ager just looking at this.”

Mettey couldn’t tell thedoctors from the family. Therewas no medical equipment.They couldn’t do anything tohelp the child. It was the mostshocking thing he’d ever wit-nessed. He tried to play it offthen, but it stands out for himto this day.

His father can tell storyafter story. One that alsostands out is about a father whowalked three hours to get to thehospital carrying his burnedchild in his arms. That becamean iconic photo.

“My father wasn’t going totake the picture,” Mettey said.“The father said I want peoplein America to know what it islike here, please take my pic-ture. He walked three hoursnot even knowing if they couldtreat his child.”

Airline regulations weredifferent when they made thefirst return trip to Nicaraguacarrying as many suitcases asthey could on that flight. Rev.Mettey carried a microscopeon his lap on the flight. Beforethat, the hospital had only onemicroscope. Soap, band aids,gauze, medical equipment; justbasic necessities filled thosesuitcases. It made a significantimpact.

“You can’t even put it intowords,” Mettey said. “Whenyou see the hospital adminis-trator smiling, so happy it’sbeyond words. It’s like theywon the lottery.”

Anybody who has volun-teered in a soup kitchen, withHabitat for Humanity, or in anykind of effort to bring aid tothe needy, knows that smile ofappreciation. Multiply that a

hundred times to understandthe expression of gratitude onthe faces of these people whohad nothing, but received themost basic of necessities. Rev.Mettey left his position as pas-tor of the church, foundedMatthew 25: Ministries usingfunds from his own retirementsavings, risked all he had onthe belief he was being calledby God to do this.

The small group of dedicat-ed individuals filling suitcasesknew they couldn’t continue towork from the narthex of thechurch. Rev. Mettey secured a5,000-square-foot warehouse inBlue Ash, which they outgrewvery quickly. By 2002 they hadoutgrown several spaces andmoved into their ninth ware-house location. Today Matthew25: Ministries distributes morethan 15 million pounds of prod-ucts providing humanitarianaid and disaster relief for about20 million people each year.

“As time went on, I saw thegrowth was just steady,” TimMettey said. “Dad had a greatway of talking to somebody forjust a couple minutes and thenthey wanted to be part of theministry; they wanted to help.”

Suitcases still get filled, butcontainers carried by semisand shipped overseas carry thebulk of the load. Rev. Mettey’squest to ship 100-percent ofthings they need led him todevelop relationships, andcorporate partnerships to pro-vide unimaginable resources ofgiving and distribution today.

“We learned as we went,”said Joodi Archer, who hasbeen with the ministry for 13years and is media relationsdirector for M25M. “Wendellsaid yes a lot assuming thatGod would find a way to make

it happen. He (God) always did.Lessons learned led to pro-

grams designed to meet thespecific needs of the needyacross the world. They rescueand repurpose used householditems like clothing, school sup-plies, cleaning supplies andmany more which would other-wise be waste for landfill. Theymanufacture school notebooks,pencils and re-blend leftoverlatex paint into usable paint.These programs go beyondcaring for the needy; they helpprotect the environment.

Packed suitcases becametons of products shipped by C-5and C-130 cargo planes. Oftenthey hurried over with a loadonly to learn there was no roomfor it. In those early days, Rev.Mettey made a lot of phonecalls and waited a lot for thingsto happen.

“We figured out shipping byocean-going containers was somuch easier, cheaper, and de-livers when it says it’s going todeliver,” Mettey said. “It wasthose types of things that gotMatthew 25 to where it is to-day.”

Like ocean-going containersdeliver when they say they’regoing to deliver, Rev. Metteydelivered on a promise hemade to help Nicaragua 25years ago. Today M25M has afleet of customized disasterrelief vehicles which respondquickly and effectively to di-sasters here in the U.S. Individ-uals, families and groups of allages and skill levels are wel-comed six days a week at theirBlue Ash facility.

Matthew 25 Ministriesbought its current Blue Ashfacility in 2004, and completeda 46,000-square-foot manu-facturing center expansion in

2011. In 2015 more than 58,000volunteers donated nearly139,000 hours there. There is aGlobal Village which realisti-cally shows the areas and peo-ple served across the globe.Since those first suitcases werecarried to Nicaragua in 1991,more suitcases, cargo planesand now ocean-going contain-ers have carried about 165-million pounds of suppliesvalued at nearly $1.5 billion tomore than 60 countries aroundthe world.

“This is more a celebrationof the volunteers and all thepeople who make Matthew 25who we are,” Tim Mettey said.“We’re just making the experi-ence better. Three will bethings to come that we willannounce. People come fromall over to volunteer. We’recelebrating that.”

MARCH 2, 2016 • CJN-MMA • 7ANEWS

We had a “teaser” day thisweek. The sun shone brightly,and the temperature went up tonear 70 degrees. So I decided itwas a good day to mulch the

asparagus patchwith the well-rotted chickenmanure that my“girls”/chickensand rooster,gifted me with. Itook a walk downto the river, andsaw yellow aco-nite blooming inprofusion. Checkout the photos on

my abouteating.com site.In the herb garden, the

chickweed, which is actually asuper nutritious food, has takenover the Bible section near thesouth end. I’ll pull some of thatup to sprinkle on our saladmade with the Green Goddessdressing recipe I’m sharingtoday. I’ll just have to remem-ber not to say anything aboutthe chickweed in the salad. Yep,I have family members whoare still not in the fold when itcomes to eating my wild of-ferings! And salmon patties area given in my house for Lent.They’re so good I wonder why Idon’t serve them more often.

Readers want to knowHow do I get veggies to

roast golden brown on top?No need to turn them over.

Food that you want to be gold-en-brown on top should go onthe highest oven rack.

Pizza, piecrust, and itemsthat you want golden brown onthe bottom should be on lowestrack.

Cookies, breads, cakes andother baked goods do best inthe middle of oven for the mosteven heat. It’s good to rotate ifyou have a couple pans bakingat once on different racks.

My mom’s salmon patties

Feel free to use whatever kind of crumbs you like. The key tohaving them stay together is to finely mince the onion and celery, usea light hand when mixing and a firm one when patting out. Go totaste on onion and celery.

1 can salmon1 egg, lightly beatenFinely minced onion and celery, 1/3 cup eachPalmful minced parsley (opt)1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbsSalt and pepper to taste

Drain salmon, but leave those bits of tender bone in. They con-tain calcium and give the patties a bit of crunch. Just mix everythingtogether with a light hand. Form into firm patties and fry in a little oilover medium heat until brown on both sides.

Dilly sauce

I like this so much I useit on other seafood dishes,as well.

Mix together:

1/2 cup mayonnaiseJuice of half a lemon or

more to taste1 generous teaspoon

dried dill leaves orpalmful fresh chopped

Homemade GreenGoddess dressing

For the fellow who stopped tochat after a class on herbs. “I lovedGreen Goddess dressing as a kid andinstead of buying it I want to makeit from scratch.” This dressing is agreat way to use three of my favor-ite herbs that are easily grown:parsley, basil and tarragon. Anothervintage recipe with resurgence inpopularity. I love the hauntingflavor that the anchovy gives.

Put everything except sourcream, salt and pepper in blender orfood processor and blend untilsmooth, then whisk in sour creamand salt and pepper.

1 cup mayonnaise1 bunch green onions, white

and green parts, about 1 cupFresh basil leaves, about 1/2 cupCouple sprigs of tarragon,

about 2 teaspoons choppedPalmful chopped parsley2 nice cloves garlic, mincedFresh lemon juice to taste -

start with 3-4 tablespoonsNice squeeze of anchovy paste,

about 2 rounded teaspoons1 cup sour cream or Greek

yogurtSalt and pepper to taste (you

won’t need much salt)

Tip from Rita’s kitchenI’ve made this with Vegenaise

eggless mayo and it tastes just asgood.

Next time I make this I’ll usemy homemade yogurt in place ofsour cream. I’ll let you know howthat goes, since my homemadeyogurt is thinner than store bought.

A publication of

Feb. 24 questionShould the U.S. Senate hold

confirmation hearings if Presi-dent Obama nominates a succes-sor to Supreme Court Justice An-tonin Scalia? Why or why not?

“If we want the Senate to fol-low the Constitution and to dothe job our tax dollars pay forthen they should hold hearingsfor President Obama’s SupremeCourt justice nominee.

“They’ll have plenty of otherissues they can bog down andobstruct when the next Demo-cratic president gets in, in No-vember.”

C.S.

“All elected senators and thepresident swear under oath touphold the Constitution of theUnited States.

“Sen. McConnell is clearlynot following the oath when an-nouncing the partisan obstruc-tionism.

“The Republicans are not ig-norant of Article II, Section 2 ofthe Constitution and thereforemust realize consequencesWhen elected officials decidenot to follow the Constitutionthen expulsion is proper: Arti-cle I, Section 5, Clause 2.

“The American people de-

serve better from elected offi-cials.”

eadamsoc

“No way should the Senateapprove any nomination thatMr. Obama put's forth. If noth-ing more than do to past objec-tions from Joe Biden 1992 andChuck Schumer 2007 whereboth parties said no SupremeCourt Justice should be ap-proved during an election year.

Levies help familiesmeet challenges

I have been a board memberfor the Clermont County Boardof Developmental Disabilitiesfor two years and am its boardpresident.

My years on the board havereally opened my eyes to thetremendous work that goes intosupporting individuals with de-velopmental disabilities to liveand work as independently asthey can in Clermont County. Italso makes me proud to live in acommunity where its citizensrecognize the gifts and talentsof those with disabilities, butalso are willing to support themwhen they need it.

In this upcoming primaryelection March 15, ClermontDD is asking voters to approvereplacement of two continuinglevies that were originallypassed in 1979 and 1980. With ap-proval, these two levies wouldbecome one moving forward.Revenue generated from re-placing these levies would notonly maintain much-needed ser-vices we see throughout ourcounty, but would help to re-sponsibly address ever-grow-ing waiting lists. This levy willcost the owner of a $100,000home an additional $35 per year– or about $3 per month.

During my time on the board,I have seen and heard stories ofcertainly the successes: theyoung child getting the therapyneeded; the teenager gettingthe job training necessary to geta job; the older adult with sig-nificant physical disabilitiesthat is receiving the care need-ed to live in a residential homehere in our community. I alsohave had to be part of difficultconversations, where chal-lenges remain because of a lackof resources to adequately ad-dress the needs.

On March 15, please do yourpart for the individuals with de-velopmental disabilities andtheir families in ClermontCounty by voting for Issue 5, theClermont County Board of DDreplacement levy.

Zurmehly knowstreasurer’s office

I write to encourage my fel-low Clermont County residentswho intend to vote in the Repub-lican primary March 15 to votefor Jeannie Zurmehly for Coun-ty treasurer.

My thoughts on this issue arebased upon my working rela-tionship with Jeannie in thetreasurer’s office. One of theareas of my practice of law inClermont County is the provid-ing of real estate title opinionsto assist in the collection of de-linquent real estate taxes. I pro-vide such title opinions to Jean-nie several times a week in hercapacity as head of the Delin-quent Tax Division of the Trea-surer’s Office.

Jeannie is the treasurer’s li-aison between the Prosecutor’sOffice (the treasurer’s attorneyin real estate tax foreclosuresuits) and the taxpayer. In thisrole, she has exemplified all thequalities one could wish for inthe Office of Treasurer. She in-teracts with the taxpayers in acourteous, kind and compas-sionate manner. She interactswith the Prosecutor’s Office in aknowledgeable, efficient andprofessional manner.

In her more than eight yearsat the Treasurer’s Office shehas worked diligently and colle-gially with Bob True, who is re-tiring at the end of his term in2017, Connie Bare, his chief dep-uty treasurer, and all of the finestaff they have assembled towork for the best interests of allof the taxpayers of ClermontCounty.

In sum, then, given the factthat Jeannie Zurmehly knowsall the facets of the Treasurer’sOffice inside and out, and hasdemonstrated over these pasteight years a thorough and dili-gent work ethic in the very of-fice she seeks, I would be re-miss, given my inside look ather performance, not to suggestto my fellow Clermont Countycitizens that they vote for Jean-nie M. Zurmehly.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

When I first started workingwith Clermont Senior Services,it was 1983. One of my firstvisits was to a senior center theagency operated at Clerco, theadult workshop for personswith developmental disabil-ities.

True to the visionary ap-proach that agency founderLois Brown Dale had, this cen-ter mainstreamed a traditionalsenior center into the environ-ment at the adult workshop.

As much as that was anearly lesson in the power ofpartnering, another lesson wasmore profound, that I remem-ber, to this day. I was speakingwith a woman who shared thatshe had been attending thesenior center for several years.She had severe osteoporosisand a medical condition where-by she held a handkerchief inher mouth because she had nocontrol over her salivaryglands. We shared a littlefriendly conversation aboutwhere we grew up and ourfamilies. She, then, reachedinto her “pocket book” andpulled out a picture. In thepicture was a beautiful slender,tall woman, probably in her20s, with perfectly coiffed hairand in a swimsuit, standing

next to achaise loungeby a swimmingpool. As shehanded thepicture to me,she said, “Thisis me.” Not,“This Was me.”“This Is Me.”It was at thatvery moment

that I realized that our shellschange, but what is inside of usdoes not.

Our basic human needs donot change. We want to live asindependently as possible,remain in our homes, sleep inour beds and have control andchoice in our lives. Sadly, asour bodies age, that doesn’talways occur. Clermont SeniorServices strives to assist olderadults in ways that they canremain living at home, for aslong as possible.

On March 15, voters in Cler-mont County will, once again,have an opportunity to decideif the continuation of serviceslike this, in our community, isimportant.

This 1.3-mill levy is a renew-al - no new taxes. This is impor-tant because we have managedat the same millage for the past

15 years, even with experi-encing a significant reductionresulting from the revaluationof real property in the after-math of the 2008 economicdownturn. With continual as-sessment and reprioritizationof services, we live within ourmeans and focus our attentionon serving those most in needof the most critical services.

On behalf of the nearly 6,000people we served in 2015, mostof whom received multipleservices, we ask that you re-member to vote on March 15 tosupport the levy that will con-tinue these important servicesfor seniors. Please call or emailme any questions you mighthave. And, many thanks foryour trust. We take that veryseriously.

Our Mission is to improvethe quality of life for olderadults by providing a broadrange of home and communitybased services, enabling themto remain as active and in-dependent as possible.

Cindy Gramke is the exec-utive director/CEO of ClermontSenior Services. Ideas andcomments can be directed toCindy at [email protected] or contact theagency at 536-4004.

Sooner or later, every com-munity has to consider when,how and whether to upgrade oreven replace schools andequipment that serve theirchildren. It’s never an easydecision, but it’s necessary tokeep up with the demands ofnew technology, accessibility,safety, growing populations,and changes in education.

Studies show that there’s adirect link between the phys-ical characteristics of a schoolbuilding and students’ educa-tional results. Thanks to thesupport of their communities,many of the school districts inour region have been able toprovide school facilities thatencourage positive results.

At career-technical schoolslike Great Oaks, we must notonly create a positive environ-ment, we must have class-rooms and labs that give stu-dents real-world experiences.That means making sure that

culinary stu-dents have acommercialkitchen inwhich to learn;that health,dental andsurgical tech-nologies pro-grams havelabs that look,feel and work

like medical facilities; that thesustainable urban agriculturestudents have a greenhouse,and so on. A proper learningenvironment also means theright equipment: Aviationstudents have airplanes towork on, heavy industrial die-sel students have trucks, andcomputer service and digitalarts students have up-to-datetechnology.

Great Oaks students alsohave the benefit of a suppor-tive community. Nearly$500,000 in Trimble Navigation

GPS hardware and softwarewas recently donated so thatour heavy equipment studentscan become trained and certi-fied in satellite technologythat’s being used in real-worldconstruction layout. We’ve alsobeen able to enhance labs andupdate campuses within ourcurrent tax levy, and a StraightA grant has enabled us to builda state-of-the-art robotics andadvanced manufacturing labthat will be used by futureengineers, area companies,and local workers who need toupgrade their skills.

You have provided those forstudents in southwest Ohio,and we’re grateful. I invite youto visit Diamond Oaks, LaurelOaks, Live Oaks or ScarletOaks to see your community’spublic career-technical school.

There used to be a televisiongame show entitled “Truth orConsequences.”

Contestants on the showwere given the responsibility ofdetermining the truth aboutpeople, places, events or thingsby answering questions. At theconclusion of each show theywould reveal the truth about thetopic of discussion. You and Ihave been given the task ofdiscovering the truth or face theconsequences.

In I John 4:1-3, John teachesus the importance of knowingthe truth. “Beloved, believe notevery spirit, but try the Spiritswhether they are of God: be-cause many false prophets aregone out into the world. Herebyknow ye the Spirit of God: everySpirit that confesses that JesusChrist is come in the flesh is ofGod. And every Spirit that con-fesses not that Jesus Christ iscome in the flesh is not of God:and this is the spirit of anti-christ, whereof ye have heard itshould come; and even nowalready is in the world.”

Simply put,don’t believeeverything youhear. Carefullyweigh andexamine whatpeople tell you.Not everyonewho talks aboutGod comesfrom God.There’s a lot offalse doctrine

loose in the world. Only thosewho openly confess their faithin Jesus Christ as the Son ofGod, and that he came as anactual flesh-and-blood person,comes from God and belong toGod.

Why is it important to testour beliefs to determine thetruth of what we believe? Satanis a deceiver. We must know thetruth! We must know what webelieve! You can be confident inwhat you believe. First, don’tbelieve everything you hear.Carefully examine what peopletell you! Learn to be a student ofthe word, and evaluate all that is

being said. Don’t take whatsomeone says at face value.Also, false teachers will denyChristian doctrine. They willclaim to have a new teaching ornew revelation, and will claimthey are the only ones who havethe truth.

The next thing to look for isthey will minimize the authorityand person of Jesus Christ.Next, they will emphasize asalvation by works. They alsominimize the Grace of God. Icall this Jesus plus salvation.

The next test is their beliefabout Jesus Christ. John teachesthat the real test of truth is whata person believes about JesusChrist. Jesus is God. And Jesusalone brings salvation. He wasnot created. He is the creator. InGenesis 1:1, “In the beginningGod created the heaven and theearth.” In Colossians 1:16, weread “…all things were createdby Him and for Him.” Andthat’s the truth.

CANTON - When Milfordfreshman swimmer Tyler Ba-binec plunged into the waterat C.T. Branin Natatorium, heended a drought. According toMilford Aquatics coach Kev-in Metzger, 2012 was the lasttime the Eagles took swim-mers up to Canton.

Babinec has already ac-complished a lot early in hishigh school career, includingbeing the first district cham-pion Milford has ever had inthe 50 freestyle. He’s also thefirst Milford swimmerMetzger has coached at state.

So knowing all this in theback of his mind, how did Ty-ler handle the moment?

“He did spectacular,”Metzger said. “He came inseeded 15th in the 100 breast-stroke and if I calculated cor-rectly, he ended up 13th. Heraced with the pack and did

exactly what he needed to do.”Even though he called it a

totally new experience, Babi-nec tried to treat it like anyone of the other numerousmeets he’s raced.

That focus, which Metzgersaid is unique to other swim-mers, helps him be success-ful.

“Otherwise, nerves willtake over and you won’t do sohot,” Babinec said.

Overall, the ninth-graderenjoyed the experience andgot his fire stoked for theyears ahead. He learned hehas to keep training hard andnot stop until “you’re thebest.”

He also ramped up Metzg-er’s excitement.

“Him coming out and beingable to do so well gets me sopumped for the next threeyears,” the coach said. “He’ssetting the tone for the nextthree years for MilfordAquatics.”

BEAVERCREEK - When asked to re-flect upon the season, Milford Eaglesbowling coach Frank Ritzmann said itwas a warm-cold situation.

“I thought we’d do better in the leaguebecause we had everybody back,” hesaid. “However, we always shot well inthe tournaments for some reason. At theSouthwest Ohio Conference/EasternCincinnati Conference meet we were

third, at sectionals we were second. Ican’t be too disappointed when you dothat well.”

The second-place finish at sectionalswas the highest ever for the team. JuniorNoah Dolezal was a big reason why. Heset a new three-game series record of 711pins.

Milford rolled into districts looking tosend bowlers up Interstate 71 to WayneWebb’s Columbus Bowl. However, theEagles, like most teams in the state, hadtheir season upended.

Ritzmann said Dolezal was the closetto qualifying as individual. According tohim, the junior was about 20 pins fromadvancing.

Dolezal showed good improvementthis season, increasing his average by 33pins.

The fifth spot on the team, which wasso critical in the sectional, proved diffi-cult in districts.

In all three individual games, Ritz-mann had to sub the bowler out. That ledto scores of 120, 139 and 100.

“I don’t think we would have beenclose to qualifying,” he said. “But thebiggest difference would have been inthe overall scores.”

The substitutions allowed Ritzmannto get a few sophomores some districtexperience in the Baker game wherethey did well, he said.

“I’m happy,” the coach said. “We havea very good foundation for next year. Ilove what I have coming back. I’m al-ready looking forward to it.”

Josh Brooksbank was the only senior.

MASON - When he saw Hughes’boys basketball team run out ontothe floor Feb. 24 and heard the roarof the student section, McNicholascoach Tim Monahan began to wor-ry.

After tip-off, those worries hungaround for the first half. But as thegame wore on, they turned into be-lief. Unfortunately for the Rockets,time ran out in the game and ontheir season.

In the early going, the Big Redcreated problems for the Rocketsall over the floor with their speed,length and height.

They were scoring beforeMcNick could set up its defense, al-tering Rocket shots on the defen-sive end and creating second-chance opportunities for the of-fense.

Of course, Corry Long and AaronHerring knocking down shots fromthe outside didn’t hurt Hughes, ei-ther.

“We saw five of their games onfilm and they didn’t shoot the balllike that,” Monahan said. “Theywere lights-out. It also didn’t helpthat we shot ourselves in the foot bynot making shots in the first quar-ter.”

That potent cocktail put Hugheson an 80-point pace after the firstquarter with a 21-8 lead.

“I wanted to jump on them, getthem down and hope they wouldfold,” Hughes coach Bryan Wyantsaid after the game. “They definite-ly didn’t and that’s a testament totheir coach.”

McNick, which had been ham-pered by the aforementioned intan-gibles, got into a better rhythmthanks to Cole Burdick and RyanReidy. However, the Rocketscouldn’t put much of a dent in thescoring gap. At least until late in thethird quarter when shots started tofall more.

The Rockets cut the deficit toseven, 53-46 going into the fourthquarter.

“We had a lot of games this sea-son like this,” Monahan said. “I cancount them on more than one hand.When we went into the half, I talkedabout the Woodward-Indian Hill

game and how we could get backinto this game. When Cole hit thatshot at the end of the third quarter, Ithink everybody believed we coulddo it.”

The Big Red kept McNicholas atbay in the early part of the finalframe. However, that didn’t stopBurdick, Cameron Haynes and Rei-dy.

They knocked down big shot af-ter big shot, trimming the deficit totwo, 74-72 with 33 seconds left.

“For the last two or three weeks,Cole has played consistently well atboth ends of the floor,” Monahansaid. “With Ryan, the seniors did agreat job preparing him for the sea-son. It’s great they’re both sopho-mores. They are already excited toget back into it for next year.”

Hughes answered with twopoints and then batted the ballaround just enough for McNick toonly get one more shot. Haynesknocked down a three-pointer be-fore time ran out.

Looking toward next season, theRockets return 11 of 13 players, andMonahan already has his eye on acouple junior varsity players whoshould help fill in the gaps.

“Our seniors, Jacob Cheek andNick Staderman, will be missed, butthey did a great job setting the tonefor this program for the next twoyears,” Monahan said.

McNick basketball’scomeback effort falls short

ROSELAWN - As spring began its earlytease on a sun-splashed Monday, a groupof Moeller High School athletes stubborn-ly stayed inside wearing sweaters.

They are members of the Crusadershockey team who spend winter weekdaysat Cincinnati Gardens blading through theman-made ice at the area’s most historicrink. Coach Mike Reeder often preparesthe chilly, white oval on the Zamboni ma-chine in addition to barking out instruc-tions to the lads with sticks and skates.

Moeller plays home contests at TheGardens, but their main source of compe-tition is usually a couple of hours north.The Crusaders compete in the Columbus-based Capital Hockey Conference.

Prep puck pundits say it’s a betterbrand of hockey. As a result, Moellerbrought up the rear of the league’s WhiteDivision at 7-19-2. The logic in the tougherleague is long-term improvement.

Moeller defeated New Albany and Ta-lawanda by identical 6-5 overtime scoresto advance to the district quarterfinals,before losing to Dublin Coffman Sept. 276-1.

“We have a really tough schedule,”Reeder said before the Dublin Coffmangame. “Now, we’re prepared. We don’tfear these people.”

Tony LeBarge is one of the team’s topproducers. Now the season has ended,he’ll switch to a lacrosse stick and hope toget his land legs in order for the Moellerspring squad. The senior sees the benefitof taking bus rides north on I-71.

“They have the Columbus Bluejackets,so the competition is getting better,” Le-Barge said. “It transfers onto their game.It’s really a great time to play. It’s a newhotbed for hockey.”

LeBarge will hang up his skates afterthis season as he’s set to play lacrosse atWittenberg. Ironically, the offensivehockey player specializes on defense onthe lacrosse field.

Senior teammate Charlie Krejsa is anice defender and plans on playing clubhockey at Colorado State. He also noticesthe upside of facing the best of the bestthroughout the winter.

“In postseason we play teams in bothareas, Columbus and Cincinnati,” Krejsasaid. “They’re all really challenginggames because they’re playoffs. I’d loveto keep going because it’s really exciting.”

LeBarge, sophomore Derek Kariofilesand senior Michael Rawlings are amongCHC-White Division leaders in goals, withRawlings and freshman Jordan Walteramong assist leaders. In the Crusadersback-to-back overtime thrillers, Rawlingsrecorded back-to-back hat tricks.

“There’s been a lot of ups and downs,but we’re pretty hot right now,” Rawlingssaid. “Getting the wins in overtime hasbeen really exciting. It’s a really good feel-ing when you’re helping out the team.”

While the varsity played Coffman, theMoeller junior varsity team played withseven other teams in Cleveland in thestate JV tournament. The Moeller JV fin-ished 9-4-2 in their division of the CapitalHockey Conference and was second in theconference tournament.

Howdy folks, Before I forget it, I

will tell you about Ches-ter and how his day goes.He wants me up about 6a.m. for his breakfast. Hewill come and jump onme then give me a noserub then lay and see if Iwill get up. If I don’t, hewill jump on me again.

When I get up I alwaysgo to the bathroom andbrush my teeth firstthing. He jumps on theclothes hamper and waitstill I come out and getsome clothes on. He sitsthere until I turn into thekitchen. I always say,“OK, let’s eat somebreakfast.” Then hebeats me to the food bowl

and keepsmeowingtill I get hisFriskiesfood down.

After heeats hewantsoutside. Heusuallystays out-

side till about 9 a.m. thenwants in so he can eatsome dry food. Then hegoes to my chair andsleeps until 3 p.m. He hashis routine down prettygood. He is a specialfriend and cat. I think heunderstands some of thewords I tell him. He likesfor folks to come andhappy when they leave.

I have got severalthings growing here inthe house - the peas arealmost six inches tall.The flowers are doinggood, the marigolds,calendula, forget-me-nots, alyssum and others.The Parisian carrots, thelittle round ones, I don’tknow if they will do goodbut there is somethinggreen growing - to methat is important.

Last week I had arequest to make a couplebat houses. I have madethem before so I gotthem made. I wonder iffolks think the bats willeat the mosquitoes sofolks don’t get bit bythem. The carpenter

shop has been busy withbirdfeeders, birdhouses,and vegetable baskets -the kind you can washthe vegetables and letthem dry - this is some-thing new for me.

The different placesthat are having meals onFriday evening for Lentare sure doing a greatjob. I go to the St. MaryChurch in Bethel. Thefolks sure know how tofix a great meal. Themeal was important, butyou can visit with lots offolks that go there. If youhave a neighbor thatneeds a ride to the mealtake them or take a mealto their home for them.The good Lord wants usto be a good steward andhelp folks. While you arethere you will probablysee some of your friends.

While I was watchingthe news I looked out andthere were four deer inthe front yard when Ilooked out the kitchenwindow and there weretwo deer there. I went to

the bathroom and lookedthere were three deerthere. They are eatingthe yucca plants. Eachwinter lately, they eat theplants. The plants are sotough, but the deer don’tmind. Tony said theyneed to read in the bookthat the plant is deerproof, but it is green andthey are looking forsomething green. Thedeer I saw were sureeating the green grass inthe yard.

Was talking to Mike atthe Boars Head BaitShop. He said folks thatwent fishing the warmweekend sure caughtsome fine fish - the blue-gills and crappie are stillbiting good. There was abirthday event Feb. 27that was for both parents.Now Mike said the fellarwas born on St. Patrick’sDay and the young ladyon leap year so the lepre-chaun got him a leap yeargal.

These two young folkshave been together for

many years and I wasinvited so I expect tohave a wonderful timehelping them celebratetheir birthdays. Thisparty is for both of them.The folks are Renate andWilford Haess. These areMike’s wife’s parents.This was to be a surprise,but Mike and Wendycould not wait any longerto tell them about theparty so it is no surprise.The party was at Recep-tions at Eastgate. NowMike’s grandma will bethere and I am so glad tobe able to spend sometime with her.

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

God bless all ...Morelater

Millions of peoplehave been the victim ofidentity theft and nowthe federal governmenthas set up a website tohelp victims file an offi-cial complaint and gethelp fighting back.

The Federal TradeCommission website,www.identitytheft.gov,gives victims a personal-ized guide that stream-lines many of the steps tohelp victims recoverfrom the financial messcreated by identity theft.

The FTC receivedmore than 490,000 con-sumer complaints aboutidentity theft just lastyear – a 47 percent in-crease over 2014. That’sprompted the FTC helpvictims by creating thiswebsite. When a consum-

er files acomplaintat the site,it will auto-maticallygenerateaffidavitsand pre-fillletters andforms tobe sent tocredit

bureaus, businesses,police, debt collectorsand the IRS.

The FTC says, “Con-sumers who file a reportwill receive follow-upemails and can return totheir personalized planonline to continue therecovery process.” Thosewho run into problemscan turn to the FTC web-site for alternative ap-proaches.

The website also pro-vides information on howto prevent identity theftand how to spot otherscams.

In Ohio, more than1,670 identity thefts werereported last year andthe attorney general hasalso set up a special de-partment to help consum-ers recover from thisfraud. The Ohio AttorneyGeneral suggests youfind the privacy settingson all your accounts,especially social mediaaccounts, and decide howmuch you want to sharewith others about youand your family.
