Although improve-ments to Ohio 32 may havebeen among the biggestClermont County projectsin 2015, this year’s slate ofprojects is possibly evenmore extensive.

“This is the biggestyear we’ve ever had,” saidClermont County Engi-neer Pat Manger about theprojects which are expect-ed to get underway in thecoming months.

Some of the bigger pro-jects include:

» The Aicholtz Roadconnector. This connectorwill extend from the inter-section of Aicholtz Roadand Eastgate Boulevard toMount Carmel and extendan estimated 1.3 miles.This project is budgeted atabout $6.25 million.

» Widening of Old Ohio74 from Armstrong Boule-vard to Olive Branch-Sto-nelick Road. A center turnlane will be added to whatis currently a two-laneroad extending aboutthree-quarters of a mile.

Traffic signal upgradesalong this road will also bemade in conjunction withthe widening. This projectis budgeted at about $3.75million.

» Wolfpen Pleasant HillRoad safety improve-ments starting from Rain-tree Drive to Indian HauntDrive. Manger saidcurves along WolfpenPleasant Hill will be soft-ened and that a retainingwall along the hill will bebuilt.

“(This will be) one ofour more dramatic im-provements,” Mangersaid. “The before and afterwill be pretty dramatic.”This project is budgeted atabout $3 million.

Rehabilitation of OldState Route 32. This repav-ing project will extendabout 8 miles from the cor-poration limit of Bataviato the county line. It is a $2million project.

Manger said $5 millionhas been budgeted for re-surfacing projects. In ad-dition to Old State Route32, other roads that will re-surfaced are:

» Taylor Pike;» Frank Willis Memori-

al Road;» Bethel New Rich-

mond Road;» Branch Hill Loveland

Road;» Clermontville Laurel

for Clermont County roadresurfacing projects thisyear is bigger than in pre-vious years. Typically, hesaid from $1million to $1.5million is annually budget-ed for resurfacing pro-jects. Funding for this willcome from state grants.

Which Clermont County roads are most in need ofrepair?

“I wish they would repave and install side walks allthroughout Moount Carmel. I live in the Kaldy Memorialsubdivision, but our streets in this subdivision and in VikingVillage all need to be updated. All throughout MountCarmel we could use a sidewalk down Mount CarmelTabasco and through.”

Richard Doughty“Newtonsville Road. from state Route 727 to Newtons-

ville. This road has been neglected for to many years, Lastpaved in the early 1990s. The road is falling apart the coun-ty comes and patches, but it is not holding and some spotsare now down to the original layer of blacktop. This roadruns from Stonelick Lake State Park and 90 percent of thecampers use this road along with all the semi truck traffic.The road is uneven in some spots and since we had thesnow the road plows have ripped up even more patchwork.”

a team,” she said.The number of opiate

exposed babies treatedat area hospitals is on theincrease, Bowling said.

A NAS in Ohio 2004-2013 preliminary reportfrom the Ohio Depart-ment of Health outlinedthe increase in incidentsof NAS in the state. Ac-cording to the report, thehospitalization rate ofNAS has increased rap-idly in Ohio between2004 and 2013. In 2013alone, there were 1,691admissions to inpatientsettings, which equatesto nearly five admis-sions per day. This com-pares to 199 admissionsto inpatient settings for

NAS in 2004.As the medical staff

works to meet the ba-bies’ needs, they alsowork with case workersto determine the nextsteps for babies whenthey leave the hospital,Bowling said. They talkto the nursing staff, thebirth parents, makehome visits and decide ifthe baby can go homewith the birth parent/parents, to a relative’shome, or to foster care,she said.

“The nurses are in-volved in that becausewe document every-thing that happens,”Bowling said. “What aparent might be present-ing to case managermight not be the samescenario being present-ed to the nurse here.”

Yards resembling junkyards and unsafe struc-tures are just two issuesPierce Township, and oth-er communities, attemptto address through nui-sance property rules.

The rules may varysomewhat community tocommunity, but the intentis the same and that is tomaintain property valuesand safety, Pierce Town-ship Administrator TimHershner said.

Over the last year,Pierce Township hasstepped up its efforts toaddress nuisance proper-ties. There’s a form avail-able on the township’swebsite –www.piercetownship.org-making it easier for resi-dents to submit zoningconcerns, he said. Mostnuisance property viola-tions are initiated throughthis process, he said.

For example, the town-ship recently had an oldtruck pulled out of a resi-dent’s backyard that’sbeen there for at leasteight years, Hershnersaid. The same propertyowner has a significantamount of other debris inthe yard including piles ofold wood, old playgroundequipment, and otheritems all heaped in a pile.This too will need to be re-moved, he said.

In another situation,the township plans to de-molish an old house that’snear collapse. The roof is

falling in and a nearbyneighbor expressed con-cerns about safety,Hershner said. The own-ers live out of state. Whencontacted they said thehouse is being renovated,he said. That was aboutone year ago.

In the past, the town-ship has pursued remedia-tion of these types of zon-ing violations through itszoning process, which canbe lengthy and involvesthe courts, Hershner said.By addressing the issuesthrough nuisance proper-ty regulations the processis expedited and the town-ship can get results quick-er.

Residents are served anotice and given a periodof time to abate the prob-lem. If they fail to comply,the township takes actionto abate the problem at theproperty owner’s expense,Hershner said. Failure topay results in a special as-sessment being placed onthe real estate tax bill.

In Sycamore Township,the process is similar.When the township re-ceives a complaint, an in-vestigation is conducted,Sycamore Building Ad-ministrator Harry Hol-bert said. Based on the se-verity of the issue, a cour-tesy letter or a notice of vi-olation is issued. In eachcase, the resident is givena deadline for addressingthe problem.

If the problem is notabated, then the propertyis declared a nuisance, hesaid. A nuisance can be de-

clared for anything fromhigh grass and weeds todebris or an unsafe struc-ture. A property is de-clared a nuisance by ac-tion of the township trust-ees.

Because SycamoreTownship is a home ruletownship, it has both aproperty maintenancecode and zoning resolutionin place. These providethe township with addi-tional enforcement abili-ties when addressing nui-sance properties, Holbertsaid.

Through the enforce-ment of the zoning resolu-tion and property mainte-nance code, property val-ues are maintained, hesaid.

“In more rural areasout east, like Adams Coun-ty, it’s OK to have a tractorin the front yard and raisechickens and cattle. That’show they’re zoned,” Hol-bert said. “That’s agricul-

tural. When you get in thecity limits and you areworried about the run offfrom the chicken coop,horses and pigs, now youhave different values.That’s the big thing withproperty maintenance. Ithelps us to keep track ofdistressed properties andhopefully bring them up toat least minimum stan-dards.”

The way nuisanceproperties are addressedin Symmes Townshipcould soon be changing.Currently the townshiptries to work with resi-dents by sending lettersand making phone calls torectify general nuisancecomplaints such as tallgrass, trash cans left outand so forth, Assistant tothe Administrator LuanneFelter said. If a situation isout of control involvingjunk and debris or aban-doned items, for example,the matter is brought be-

fore the trustees for re-view.

The trustees can de-clare the property a nui-sance giving the townshipauthority to invoke theNuisance Resolution andarrange for maintenanceof the property, Feltersaid. Expenses incurredby such maintenance ischarged to the propertyowner, and if left unpaid,will result in a lien uponthe property. The town-ship zoning inspectorwrites citations for unli-censed vehicles.

The board of trustees isestablishing an exteriorproperty maintenancecode, she said. A publichearing is scheduled for 7p.m. Thursday, April 7, atthe Symmes TownshipSafety Center to receivepublic input. A copy of thedocument is available onthe township’s website,www.symmestownshi-p.org.

Kenny Ann R., a Suburban Press read-er, is still looking for a recipe made withround steak and not flank. She said:“Bread crumbs were used, maybe onionsand spices. I believe it was round steak, Iknow it was not flank steak. I think therecipe called for using string when youroll it up. I cooked it in (I think) a jar ofspaghetti sauce for a long time. If it

wasn’t a jar of sauce, I know it was very sim-ple.”

Fast French bread from scratch

This will not be like a French baguette that you buy from the bak-ery. It makes a larger, wider loaf with a close, tender crumb and goldencrust. Use instant fast rising yeast, which is more aggressive than regularyeast.

2 packages instant fast rising yeast (not regular yeast)2-1/4 cups warm water, divided6 cups bread flour (whisk before measuring, and spoon into cup) 1 tablespoon salt

Put yeast into food processor with 1/4 cup warm water. Pulse toblend. Add flour and salt and process a few seconds. Keep motor run-ning and add rest of water, and let it mix until the dough forms a massaround the blade and sides are clean. This will take a minute or two.Remove and knead on very lightly floured surface 5 minutes. Bless thedough.

Divide in half and shape into 2 long loaves, about 12” long each.Place on sprayed baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled,

about 45 minutes.Preheat oven to 400. Cut several diagonal slashes on top with sharp

knife. This will deflate the bread a bit, don’t worry.Place in oven and throw a handful of ice cubes on the floor of

oven. This makes for a crunchier crust. Bake 30 minutes, lower temper-ature to 350 and bake 10 minutes more.

I like to slather on some butter on the crust right after it comes outof the oven.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen: Divide recipe in halfYes, you can and you’ll get one nice loaf.

Using a mixer

This will take more time but should turn out well. Put yeast and 1/4 cup water in mixer and blend on low. Add flour

and salt and blend. With machine running, slowly add rest of water andlet it mix until it is very well mixed, starting on low and increasing speedto medium until it forms a on the beater.

Remove and proceed with recipe.

Whipped chocolate frosting from ganache

A reader wanted to know how to make this. She saw it on a cook-ing show. Here’s how I do it:

Bring a cup of whipping cream to a boil. Pour over 8 oz ofchopped chocolate, (good quality chocolate bars, not morsels) cover andlet sit 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth and refrigerate until slightly firm,about 1 hour but still spreadable. This is called ganache and it’s spreadover cake. To make whipped frosting, cool ganache until firm, then beatwith mixer until fluffy. Don’t overbeat as it may curdle.

A publication of

April 13 questionBatman or Superman? Why?

“Tough call on this one. Bat-man has an unrivaled cool carand motorcycle as well as aman-cave to top all man-caves.Big points all around. However,the ability to fly anywhere youwant without the bother of goingto an airport or even having topay for a ticket, gives Supermana bit of an edge. Plus, that X-rayvision thing can certainly comein handy. The current world sup-ply of Kryptonite is pretty smallso no worries there. For thesereasons it would be easy to givethe nod to the big ‘S’ man exceptfor when one factors in the fash-ion aspects. Face it, spandex andtights are currently out of vogueand a cape? So two centuriesago. But wait, Batman has acape too. Hmmm...”

M.J.F.

“If the decision is based onphysical prowess it would behard to go against Supermanversus Batman let alone anyother ‘super hero.’ However ifthe evaluation is done on contri-

butions to society I would haveto go with Batman due to his al-ter ego Bruce Wayne. TheWayne Foundation helped outmany of those in Gotham city.

“Superman’s alter ego of re-porter Clark Kent would pale incomparison. Either way I am notsure of the reasoning behind thecurrent movie (’Batman versusSuperman’) except money. Gofigure!”

April 6 questionEarth Day is April 22. In what

“green” efforts do you partake?

“Here’s what we have beenable to do…

“We donate, reuse and recy-cle as much as possible theitems we won’t use: the five of usfill less than a garbage can eachweek with trash. Everything butproteins are composted, thevegetable garden improving somuch our neighbors now com-post.

“Our dogs daily areas nolonger receive lawn treatments- no weeds there in 10 years. The

lightbulbs were switched andnew trees planted. New plantsare native species (low-mainte-nance) producing fruits andnuts for ourselves (and wildlifewho beat us to them). Garden(veggie and flower) areas areslowly increasing to decreasemowing space. Shopping tripsare combined with other neces-sary errands to reduce drivingtime. A down side: complainingfrom children. An upside: moretime in the schedule to spendwith them outside the car.”

The president was dead,murdered by John WilkesBooth.

To millions, Abraham Lin-coln was the American Moses- liberator of the enslaved -who, like Moses, would neversee the promised land. Manynoted that Lincoln was killedon Good Friday, yet anotherblood sacrifice - one more actof atonement for the sin ofslavery.

For the 1500 people insideFord’s Theater that night,April 14, 1865, the killing waspersonal - shocking and trau-matizing. What exactly hap-pened that night in the after-math of the shooting was diffi-cult to puzzle out.

Civil War historian BruceCatton wrote, “We have toomany witnesses, and theyhave too many stories.” He

noted that 25peopleclaimed tohave carriedLincoln fromthe theater.One said hecarried Lin-coln on a win-dow shutter.Yet anotherswore he car-

ried him in a rocking chair.Eight people stated they heldLincoln’s bloody head.

Two brothers, Oliver andCharles Gatch of Milford,were there that night. Oliver, a28-year-old captain in the 89thOhio Infantry, was captured atthe Battle of Chickamauga andhad spent 17 months as a pris-oner of war before he escaped.Ordered to report to Secretaryof War Stanton in Washington,

Gatch stopped in Milford topick up his older brother, whohad served as a surgeon dur-ing the war.

Oliver met with Stanton,but couldn’t collect his backpay. The brothers checkedinto the Pennsylvania Houseand decided to attend the thea-ter after reading that thepresident was expected to bethere for the performance ofOur American Cousin. Thebrothers took their seatsacross from the presidentialbox.

The play was underwaywhen it was interrupted by athunderous ovation that rolledacross the theater.

“Lincoln walked slowly, hisgreat body bent forward, hisshoulders wearing a notice-able stoop” recalled Oliver. Asad smile creased his lips. As

he approached the presiden-tial box, the president ac-knowledged the applause“with dignified bows” andsmiles. The performance re-sumed. From time to time,Oliver heard the presidentchuckling.

The brothers stood tostretch their cramped legs.Charles pointed out a youngman standing near the en-trance to the president’s box.The very handsome man withflashing black eyes “had ahaughty demeanor.” Boothentered the box, closing thedoor behind him. Almost im-mediately the report of a pis-tol shot was heard. The audi-ence was startled, some leap-ing from their seats, “then thebluish-white smoke driftedslowly out of the president’sbox.”

Booth, brandishing a knife,leaped over the box, catchinghis spur in a flag that deco-rated the box. He fell to thefloor but quickly picked him-self up and shouted, “in amelodramatic manner, ‘sicsimper tyrannis!’”

“The crowd went mad. Awilder sight I never saw, not inbattle even…they (the audi-ence) shouted and screamedand shrieked hysterically inevery conceivable tone andkey. While this bedlam wasgoing on, there began the mad,terror-stricken clambering ofthe people toward the exits.”And then, the door to thepresidential box opened.

Would you say that Feb-ruary is the month mostAmericans relate to theword love?

One might make that casesince Valentine’s Day Feb.

14 certainlyfocusesmarketingand adver-tising dol-lars on love.Companies/stores sell-ing flowers,cards andchocolatesare mosthappy forthis holiday

to come around each year.For history and trivia

buffs, here (for the onlineversion, please link to:http://bit.ly/1QtQbS9) are acouple of Valentine’s Dayfacts according to history-.com:

» Chaucer may have “in-vented” Valentine’s Daywith one of his poems(hmm...did I happen to men-tion the newly-invented“take-a-Steve to breakfast”holiday that happens inMarch? :-) )

» This date could be cele-brated multiple times a yeardepending on which St. Val-entine you choose to honor(there are about a dozen St.Valentines!).

Of course, societally wehope that it doesn’t take thisholiday to remember toexpress our love. With lastmonth’s column’s “life isshort” message and the ideaof making memories inmind, let’s catch one anotherdoing loving activities. Ifyou have pictures and/ordescriptions of catchingothers sharing love, couldyou send them to me here:[email protected]? Maybe a few of these willfind their way into an up-coming column?

Speaking of love, don’tyou just love the hometownfeel you get from your Com-munity Press newspaper?Many of us need these localnewspapers to remind us ofthe many good things allaround us. The Feb. 3 edi-tion struck me this waymore than any previouscopy. That version included:the local library being her-

alded in a collaborativefashion by three CommunityPress writers, activitieswith our public high schools,safety for our school chil-dren, people recognized forpromotions, notes aboutwhy people love the library,Rita Heikenfeld’s “languageof love” article, Barbara’snice letter to the editorabout a local eating estab-lishment, etc... We need toshare this good news with somany in our community.While all of the editionscannot be this good, thatperfection isn’t required forlove, is it? :-)

Love is... We can fill inthe blank with many re-sponses including “neverhaving to say you’re sorry”(”Love Story” paraphrase),“patient and kind” (I Corin-thians 13 paraphrase) and“asking and then listening”(memory missionary para-phrase). Finding the an-swers to “tell me aboutyourself” questions cantruly be an act of love withfamily and friends alike.

In the Binder of a Life-time (BinderOfALife-time.com,) the “About Me”section can foster the lovingrelationships that we cher-ish. “Grampa, please tell meabout your parents.” “Mom,what was your favorite mealwhen you were growingup?” “Sis, do you rememberthe day that dad burst out inlaughter and couldn’t stop?”“What TV show episodemade you laugh hysterical-ly?”

Asking these questionsand then listening is an easygift of love that – when re-corded on paper, audio and/or video – are priceless,timeless treasure.

So, let’s keep spreadingthe love - you know how!

Enjoy the day... and thememories!

You know we the Americanpeople, the ones that are theengine that runs this country,the working middle class, thecar salesman, the waitress, themilitary men and women, thetruck driver, the self em-ployed, small business owners,small family farmers and onand on, most of us feel thegreatness of this country isslipping away.

A few examples why:ObamaCare (you can keep

your doctor-period), CommonCore (government school con-trol of our children), illegalimmigration (this one is reallybad for us), religion (”In Godwe Trust”… I like this one),political correctness (if I don’twant to bake your cake, I’msure someone else will), EPA(killing our coal industry,small businesses and more),you get the point. We are toldby our local and national gov-ernment that they know what’s

best for all ofus, howeverI’m prettysure we al-ready knowwhat’s best forus and ourfamilies. It’snone of theabove.

Each elec-tion we’re told

by those running for a positionof power in the governmentthat they will “fight for us,”but once we elect them, theydon’t seem to hear us any-more. Most lose the desire tohelp make our lives better.They seem to grow distant.Once elected sometimes theycome to public meetings andgive reasons why they can’tmake good on the promisesthey made to us. Sometimeswe’re lucky and get a goodpolitician, but they are too fewand far between.

Now in a few months wewill need to make a choice fora new president. Republican orDemocrat, here we go again,all of them saying “they willfight for us.” I for one don’twant them to fight for me, ormy family. I want them to justdo their job which is to build astrong military to keep coun-try strong and safe, secure theborder, let the free marketwork on it’s own, get rid ofObamaCare and CommonCore. Yes we did fine withouteither of these before. I couldgo on but I know you get it.

Please vote this comingNovember, I know there arefew good ones in this race tochoose from, perfect no, butwho is. Hopefully they will bewhat we need to turn thingsaround and make the light ofour great country shine brightagain.

BATAVIA - With the seasonstill in its infancy, Batavia base-ball skipper Geoff Carter admit-ted he and his coaching staff of-ten have the same debate.

At the center of the argumentis just how special this team canbe this year.

“Since a lot of these guyswere freshmen, we thought thatwhen they became upperclass-men we might be a special team- one that does some things Bata-via baseball hasn’t done in awhile,” Carter said.

What isn’t up for discussion isthat this team has a two-yearwindow. The first part of thatequation, obviously, is this sea-son.

The Bulldogs returned TyWolfe, Collin Sammons, ConnerGadbury, Zach Newcomb, Bran-don Frey, Payton Lenhardt,Zach Braasch, Spencer Fluegeland Brandon Eckert for thisyear.

As of April 17, Batavia had an8-3 overall record and was 4-1in-side the conference.

Predictably, the next part isnext season. In theory, the boysof spring (and early summer, po-tentially) only lose Wolfe andBraasch from that core group.

The players are well aware ofthe time they have left and don’twant to waste it.

“The pitching has been sol-id,” Gadbury said. “There aren’tmany teams that can go as deepinto a pitching staff as we can.Our hitters have been hitting thecrap out of the ball, too. We havethe pitching and hitting to go asfar as we want.”

Gadbury’s certainly makingthe most of his opportunities.He’s just happy to be out on the

MT. WASHINGTON -Who is Duncan Weir?

If McNicholas athlet-ics held a “Jeopardy”-style trivia game, hewould be the answer to“This athlete was the pro-gram’s first boys lacrosseplayer to sign and con-tinue his playing career incollege.”

Last week, Weir, ac-companied by familymembers and teammates,committed to play at theUniversity of Indianapo-lis.

“It feels pretty good tobe making history,“ hesaid.

A factor in Weir’s deci-sion-making process wasthat his defensive coach,Cory Rusinek, played forcurrent Greyhoundscoach Greg Stocks whenhe was coaching at LakeErie College.

When he visited, thesenior meshed well withthe current players andliked the environment.There are currently sixlacrosse players from the

Cincinnati area on theGreyhound roster.

According to McNickcoach Mike Riggal, U of Ihas also beaten two teamsthat were ranked in thetop 10 at Division II.

“I think they areranked in the top 15, aswell,” Weir said.

Riggal said Weir willcontribute at the next lev-el and looks the part of adefenseman. His size alsohelps him play other play-ers from a greater dis-tance, an important skillfor a defensive player.

The Rockets coachsometimes laments aboutwhat Weir could accom-plish if he had picked upthe sport earlier in his ca-reer and played all fouryears instead of just two.

“He has the speed towhere any college coachwill be able to work withhim,” the coach said. “Hisstick skills for a second-year player are tremen-dous. He was second-team all-Ohio in the clubdivision last season, too.For him to improve anddevelop that quickly toearn that honor, that’s

something that I’ve neverseen before. It’s a tributeto his work ethic.”

Weir, who has a historyof picking up sports lateron in high school, harborsa bit of regret for not play-ing the game earlier. Hepicked up soccer duringhis junior year and playedbasketball before that.

However, he can’t saythe situation was all bad.

“Without basketballand soccer, which taughtme how to shuffle my feetand open my hips, it’shard to say where I’d be,”he said. “It’s actually real-ly interesting how itplayed out like thatagain.”

With this big step inlife out of the way, Weircan get back to what hedoes best: shutting downthe other team’s best of-fensive player.

He also has anothergoal on his mind.

“I want this team to fin-ish the season strong,maybe make an impact onthe city and show the oth-ers that McNicholas la-crosse is here to play,” hesaid.

INDIAN HILL - Thebeat continues to marchon, at least in the earlypart of the season, forCincinnati Country Daysoftball.

April 11-15 was an es-pecially good week forCCD. The Indians defeat-ed New Miami in walk-off fashion and beat theirneighbors from IndianHill, 2-0. In addition, acepitcher Missy Dieck-man-Meyer committedto continue playing at thenext level.

Against the Vikings,CCD trailed 5-4 enteringthe bottom of the seventhinning. The Indians sac-rificed a runner to sec-ond, Dieckman-Meyerroped a low pitchthrough the infield toplate the tying run andthe next batter lofted oneinto short left field, plat-ing Dieckman-Meyer,the winning run.

As of April 15, theCCD starter led the citywith 104 strikeouts.

“I don’t know exactlyhow many strikeoutsMissy had, but withouther keeping us in thegame, it would have beena struggle across theboard,” coach Scott Le-men said following theApril 13 win.

Lemen believes theForesters of Lake ForestCollege (Ill.), whereDieckman-Meyer com-mitted earlier in theweek, will be using herservices right away.

Dieckman-Meyer had

some Division II pro-grams to choose from,but Lemen said Lake For-est was just the better fit.

At CCD, the coachsaid playing sports is cer-tainly an important fac-tor in the development ofthose who attend theschool, but it’s not theonly thing. He feels LakeForest offers a similar

situation. “I think she’ll go in

there and instantly havean opportunity to be suc-cessful,” he said. “It’s agreat school … there’s nodoubt about it. I look forher to continue to be suc-cessful. It’s going to betough to fill her shoes,but we tend to find away.”

Ten months ago, he torethe labrum in his pitchingarm. Now, the junior isback in a groove.

“Pitching every two

days has been amazing,”the hurler said. “Hittingcame back slowly for me. Istarted at something like0-for-5 and then had a 3-for-3 game. I’m just tryingto prove I’m back.”

The trick with being onthe brink of special ismanaging expectations.Carter has been trying todrill that into his players’

heads. The Bulldogs playNew Richmond, Goshen,Western Brown and Ame-lia this week.

“This team is goodenough to do some specialthings,” Carter said. “But,we still have to show upand play the games. Noteam we play is going toback down because of howwell we’re playing.”
