GOSHEN TWP. — Advances intechnology have made it easierand cheaper to introduce tech-nology-based learning in theclassroom.

Mark Slagle, Goshen schoolstechnology coordinator, Feb. 11briefed school board memberson the latest advances.

“There was a time when itwas real expensive to make animpact on technology,” Slaglesaid. “We now can spend lessmoney and make a huge im-pact.”

“The availability of qualityeducational apps (applicationsfor iPads) isgreaterand the tab-lets are cheaper,” he said.

“Apps are not that expen-sive,” Slagle said. “Sometimesthey are free. We have boughtand installed a lot of apps thisyear.”

Every teacher in the Goshendistrict now has an iPad for usein the classroom, he said.

The teachers can reserveand check out iPad minis – asmaller version of the iPad – foruse by their students.

“Today, they all werechecked out,” Slagle said.

Each school in the districthas a inventory of iPadminis tocheck out.

At Goshen High School,there are 74 available to checkout, Slagle said.

The goal is to get more iPadminis in the hands of students,he said.

“This is the first time youcan spend $300 (the approxi-mate cost of a iPad mini) andmake a major difference,” Sla-gle said.

Superintendent Darrell Ed-wards said the district has beenable to purchase the devicesand apps this year out of theregular technology budget.

Thedistrict purchasedanewapplication called Nearpod thatallows students using iPadmin-is to followalongwith the teach-er giving a lesson on her iPad.

Byusing thenew technology,the teachers get immediatefeedback on how students aredoing.

“Teachers are empowered

by the new technology,” Slaglesaid.

Slagle said because studentsare exposed to somuch technol-ogy outside the classroom, us-ing it at school comes naturally.

“The kids are different now,theycomewithdifferentexpec-tations,” he said.

School board member SueSteele asked if the new technol-ogy was helping special needskids.

“We can eliminate barriers(for special needs students)with the technology,” Slaglesaid. “They just flowerusing it –it’s amazing to see.”

The next step for Goshen isto look into a “bring your owndevice” policy, Slagle said.

The policy, which has beenadopted by other school dis-tricts, allows students to bringtheir owndigital devices forusein the classroom.

Slagle said he is studyingother districts to see how thepolicy works.

The Clermont Countycommissioners Aug. 27authorized theWater Re-sources Department toparticipate in a class ac-tion lawsuit against Syn-genta Crop Protection,the makers of the chem-ical herbicide Atrazine.

Atrazine is used tospray a variety of cropsand frequently runs offof fields and into water-ways used as drinkingwater resources. In total,1,085 communitiesacross the United Statesfiled settlement claims.

A federal judge in Illi-nois approved the settle-ment Oct. 23. As a result,Clermont County WaterResources Departmentreceived $594,439.72 to

help reimburse the costsof removing the herbi-cide from the area’s wa-ter source.

“I believe this to be afair settlement and thefunds will go toward op-erational costs of the wa-ter resources depart-ment,” said Commission-er Ed Humphrey.

Since 1999, county of-ficials have used Granu-lar Activated Carbon(GAC) to remove Atra-zine from the drinkingwater sources at the BobMcEwen Water (BMW)Treatment Plant. In 2012,a new GAC treatmentprocess was installed atBMW to remove total or-ganic carbon, Atrazine,and other organic chem-

icals from the sourcewa-ter. The settlement fundswill help maintain lowwater rates by offsettingBMW annual operatingcosts.

“It would be nice notto worry about problemslike Atrazine getting intoour water supply, butthings do happen and thecitizens of ClermontCounty can rest assuredthat our Water ResourceDepartment is continu-ously monitoring to pro-tect local water quality.The settlement of$594,440 helps to offsetthe cost of the GAC car-bon filtering process andwe are better off for it,”said Commissioner Da-vid Uible.

Settlement to help water resources

MIAMI TWP. — Thetrustees are studying aproposal to reduce thetime it takes to clean upproperty maintenancecode violations.

Zoning AdministratorLou Ethridge briefed thetrustees on the plan at theFeb. 11 work session.

Ethridge said usingcivil citations to enforcecode violations ratherthan the current media-tion-based process willenable officials to resolveproblems faster, reduc-ing the resolution timefrom as many as 110 daysto about 30 days.

There were 337 prop-erty maintenance com-plaints in the township in2012 and most were re-solved within a couple ofweeks, Ethridge said.

But someof those com-plaints involved multipleviolations including suchthings as unconfinedtrash and garbage, inop-erable and unlicensed ve-hicles and open storage oftires, appliances and oth-er debris.

When the propertyowner refuses to complywith the code, the case isreferred to a mediationprogram run by the Cler-mont County Prosecu-tor’s Office, Ethridgesaid.

If the property ownerfails to comply after me-

diation, thecase goesbefore aClermontCountyMunicipalCourtjudge, hesaid.

Eth-ridge said it usually takesabout 110 days to get tothis point.

Even if the judge finestheproperty owner,manypeople find it cheaper tojust pay the fine ratherthan clean up the prob-lem, he said.

“When a Miami Town-ship resident or businessowner calls with a legiti-mate complaint, it’s ex-pected to be resolvedquickly and completely,”Ethridge said.

Under the proposedcivil citation process, theproperty owner is sent anotice of violation givinghim 14 days to fix theproblem.

The property ownerhas the option to meetwith zoning officials dur-ing the14days toworkoutan agreement on a clean-up deadline.

“Atmy sole discretion,I can extend that dead-line,” Ethridge said.

“Those who ignore thenotice of violation and letthe 14-day deadline passwill be issued a civil cita-tion,” he said.

Those admitting guiltcan pay a fine plus an ad-

ministrative fee directlyto the township.

If the property ownercontests the charges, thecase will be sent to Muni-cipal Court for prosecu-tion.

Ethridge is recom-mending the fine be $100for the first offense andincrease for subsequentoffenses up to a maxi-mum of $1,000.

Law Director JoeBraun said the plan keepscontrol of the case at thelocal level.

“Our office can file thecharges,” Braun said.“We don’t have to gothrough the prosecutor.”

“We’re talking aboutissues that involve ahandful of people – thosewho dig their heels in,”said TrusteeKarl Schultz.“Ninety-nine percent ofthe people do a fantasticjob.”

Trustee Mary MakleyWolff said she was con-cerned about people withmental illness problems,like some people seen onthe TV show “Hoarders.”

Ethridge said the newsystem will allow him tolook at individual casesand call in mental healthprofessionals if needed.

Administrator LarryFronk the language for aproposed resolution onthe civil citation processwill be written up beforeit is presented to thetrustees for approval at afuture meeting.

TATE TWP. — U.S. De-partment of Agricultureofficials are beginning toreview public commentson a revised environmen-tal assessment for theAsian longhorned beetleeradication efforts.

The new assessmentwas released in Januaryand the comment periodended Feb. 16.

The revised assess-ment differs from one re-leased in May 2012 byidentifying a preferredalternative for dealingwith healthy trees threat-ened by the beetle.

The preferred alterna-tive – called alternativeD– recommends removalof infested trees and acombination of removaland chemical treatmentfor high-risk healthytrees.

Rhonda Santos, publicinformation officer withthe USDA, said as of Feb.20 the agency had re-ceived about 80 emailcomments on the assess-ment.

However, some ofthose were duplicates,she said.

Santos said the agencyreceived four writtencomments and four oralcomments at a Feb. 11public forum in ClermontCounty sponsored by theUSDA.

“We expect a fewmoreto come in,” she said.

Santos said it will takesome time to go throughall the comments.

“They all need to be re-viewed and considered,”she said.

About 200 commentswere received for theMay 2012 assessment andit took several months to

go through all of those,she said.

No timetable has beenset for making a decisionon which alternative tochoose, she said.

The other alternativeslisted by the USDA in theenvironmental assess-ment are:

» A: No action.» B: Removal of all in-

fested trees and high-riskhealthy trees within a

half-mile of infestedtrees.

» C: Removal of all in-fested trees and chemicaltreatment of high-riskhealthy trees.

Bill Skvarla, a spokes-man for a group of prop-erty owners opposed tocutting down healthytrees, said members ofhis group sent in com-ments on the revised as-sessment.

STONELICKTWP.—Three stu-dents at Clermont NorthesternHigh School won awards andmonetary prizes for writing es-says about presidential politics.

The contest was sponsoredby theQuin-TDemocrat Club ofClermont County.

Kenneth Wright, a memberof the club and coordinator ofthe contest, said the club ismade up of “political junkies”who wanted to raise awarenessof politics among young people.

“We came up with the essaycontest,” he said.

The students were asked to

write about a presidential elec-tion between the time of Thom-as Jefferson and George W.Bush.

The students were asked tofocus on the media coverage,hype, slander and personal at-tacks surrounding the election.

The club sent requests to allhigh schools in Clermont Coun-ty to enter the contest.

CNEwas theonlyschoolwithstudents who entered, Wrightsaid.

He said 64 studentswrote es-says, with those narrowed to 10finalists and then the three win-ners.

The winners, all seniors atCNE, are:

» Firstplace:LizGlasgo,whowon a $300 prize.

» Second place: Joey Neely,who won $200.

» Third place: Allison Hum-bert, who won $100.

Glasgo said she picked theelection of 1872 between Ulyss-es S.Grant andHoraceGreeley,which was won by Grant.

Oneofthereasonsshepickedthat electionwas becauseGrantwas from Ohio, she said.

Misty Goetz, social studiesteacher at CNE, said her stu-dents learneda lot fromthecon-test.

“Iencouragedmystudents toput a lot of effort into this,” shesaid.

MT. WASHINGTON — McNi-cholasgot 32points fromjuniorHannah Taylor, but it wasn’tenough as the Rockets fell toNorwood, 64-55, in Division IItournament play Feb. 19.

Throughout the year, theRockets struggled to consis-tentlyscore, according tocoachGregg Flammer, but posted an8-2 conference record and wonthe Girls’ Greater CincinnatiLeague Central Division.

Flammer said playing withtoughness helped the Rocketsovercome offensive troubles.

“The days you can’t score,you can still compete, with anattitude of we’re going to playtough and aggressive,” he said.“We did that all year and webeat some good teams. We beat(Dayton)CJ,CarrollandAnder-son...and. winning the (leaguechampionships) against Badin,that was probably the highlightof the season.”

WhentheRocketsneededof-fense, Hannah Taylor usual an-swered the call.

The juniorwas second in theCentral with 12.3 points and 2.0assists per game. She led theleaguewith 7.4 rebounds.

For her efforts, Taylor wasnamed the Central’s Athlete ofthe Year.

“We relied on her offensive-ly a lot and she responded,”Flammer said. “Sheworks hardon her game. She’s always stay-ing after practice shooting ex-tra foul shots.”

Taylor is expected to returnnext season, and should com-binewithMaddieWhite,PaytonRamey and Corrie Sheshull to

form a strong nucleus as theRockets defend the league title.

Sheshull joined Taylor as afirst-team member, whileWhite was named to the secondteam.

Flammer, who was namedthe conference’s Coach of the

Year, said Ramey — a 5-foot-10sophomore, could be poised forbreakout year.

“She’s had some games thatwere just outstanding,” Flam-mer said.

Flammer and company willlose just two seniors from this

year’s roster in Lauren Lamp-ing and GGCL second-teammemberKatie Rogers.

“We’regoingtomissoursen-iors,” Flammer said. “Katie ledby example on the floor, andLaurenwasavocal leader…andkept everybody up.”

An early pioneer in Goshen was histo-rian Richard BardMcKinnie, born Aug.5, 1800, in Pennsylvania. He arrived inGoshen sometime after 1830 with hisfamily and was listed as a saddler in the1840 census. He served as administrator,executor and guardian to the townshippeople. He helped found and was one of

the first elders of thePresbyterian Church.

McKinnie kept a diarywhere he mentioned Go-shen people and eventsfrom1850 to 1878. Some ofthe following were in-

cluded in a book by Barbara Rosnagle.» 1861, Aug. 5: Yesterday I heard a

sermon from the Rev H.W. Guthrie fromthe text “show thyself a man” and therewas present Capt. W.G. Beatty’s secondregimen Co. C in uniform and old PeteRiny bearing the colors. The occasionwas a solemn one as the soldiers werecomposed of our neighbors young peo-ple. At present gloom hangs over thecounty.

» Aug. 7: It was proposed that on to-morrow there should be a dinner provid-ed for the Company which is to starttomorrow for Camp Denison.

Feb. 20 questionHow will the Horseshoe Casino,

scheduled to open March 4 in down-town Cincinnati, affect Cincinnati? Doyou plan to patronize the casino? Whyor why not?

“After they get the bugs workedout, I might give it a quick look-see,but that’s about it. I hope others don’tfollow suit, because the dimwittedpoliticians in Cincinnati and Hamil-ton County have already spent theprojected casino revenues ten timesover - before the first quarter hasbeen dropped into a slot machine.Mayor Mallory needs all the help hecan get for his ridiculous street carscam. I thank God every day that Ilive in Clermont County!”

J.J.

“Well I think the casino will final-ly bring someof the vice this city hasalways been lacking. I believe therewill be more downside than upside.The negative social toll casinos andgambling typically take on a com-munity usually outweigh the gains.Plus, no matter what the perceivedgains are, you can never beat thehouse.

“I won’t go because gamblingdoesn’t have an intrinsic appeal tome and the entertainment or diningat casino’s seem a bit too corporateand cookie cutter to me. I’d ratherspend an evening at Arnold’s down-town listening to local livemusic in aunique, only in Cincinnati, setting.”

I.P.

“How will the Horseshoe Casinoaffect Cincinnati? No one can reallyanswer that with certainty. Thereare arguments in favor of such es-tablishments and against them. Youcan spend some time researching ar-ticles about the impact of gamblingestablishments in places like Indi-ana and Kentucky, but you must becareful that the reports are subjec-tive and unbiased.

“I have relatives and friends whopatronize casinos, and I concedethat this is their prerogative. Someof the commentaries say that taxrevenues from casinos are veryhelpful to the local economy, but Idon’t know how much of the taxesthat are levied on Horseshoe Casinowill go exclusively to Cincinnati.

“My personal feeling is that peo-ple should have a right to patronizethese places, but I also think it is na-ive to fail to admit that they prey onthe psychological weakness of com-pulsive gamblers. The same is trueof alcoholic beverages, I suppose,and we saw what resulted from at-tempts to outlaw alcohol.

“I’ve been to a couple of casinos inmy life, and feel no desire to return.Some of the people playing slots looklike zombies. And there is an atmos-phere of sadness and compulsionthat I saw.

“Would I patronize the casino?No, because although I used to enjoycertain kinds of gambling when Iwas younger (pulling tips, playingpoker, etc ... ) the ‘sport’ holds no ap-peal for me now.”

Bill B.

“I believe the Horseshoe Casinowill have a detrimental effect on ourcity – it will suck out money thatwould have been spent on necessi-ties or on other leisure activitiessuch as sports, movies, culturalevents. It will give compulsive gam-blers a too near and present place togamble.

“Based on reports from otherareas casinos do not encourage de-velopment or support other busi-nesses but attract pawn shops andcheck-cashing places. Based on a re-cent Enquirer article, drunk drivingincidents will likely increase.

“The building itself is a disap-pointment – a ‘big box’ with a glitzyfacade and ugly sign; check out theview from Gilbert Avenue.

“The negatives far outweigh thepositives of new jobs and possiblyincreased tourism. I will never pa-tronize the casino.

“Hope it underperforms and isclosed down soon. The space couldbe repurposed into a convention orevent center or a downtown mall.”

J.R.B.

“Current news stories suggestthe other major Ohio cities which al-ready have casinos are not produc-ing as expected. In the case of Cin-cinnati the two nearby casinos in In-diana may cause the same disap-pointment in the Tristate.

“There is a finite pool of gamblersin our society and even a plush newcasino in the downtown area could

prove the golden goose of gamblingcannot lay enough eggs to solve thefiscal problems of government.

“I am not a gambler so it’s notlikely I’ll visit the Horseshoe Casi-no. I consider gambling a vice and donot believe it is proper for our gov-ernment to encourage it.

“The basic premise of gamblingis the operators of the games ofchance have control of the oddswhich guarantee the players willlose. That is why the players arecalled gamblers while the operatorshave a sure thing.”

R.V.

“I seldomgamble, evenwhen I amin Las Vegas or on a cruise ship, al-though every now and then I losesome money in slot machines as Iwalk by them on the way to a confer-ence or convention.

“Iwould not take the time or ener-gy to go to theHorseshoe Casino as adestination unless there was someother reason to be there. I hope allmy friends and neighbors visit oftenand play until their eyes glaze over.

“Given the well-published odds,virtually all gambling is a tax will-ingly paid by the mathematicallychallenged. Let them pay asmuch asthey want and reduce government’sneed to tax me.”

F.S.D.

“Although I have gambled in mylifetime, I have never put a dime intothe slots and I don’t plan to start nowjust because a casino is in my back-yard.

“I am glad that Ohio got over itsstupidity and finally allowed gam-bling, but they will get none of mymoney.”

Total Quality Logis-tics (TQL) is hosting anational open house atits Cincinnati headquar-ters and all 17 of its na-tional satellite locationsSaturday, March 9. Thegoal is to hire 100 of thenation’s top salespeople.

Open house visitorsalso will have the oppor-tunity to win $60,632.This dollar amount waschosen because it is theaverage annual compen-sation of a salespersonwho has been sellingwith TQL for two years.For TQL’s top 20 percentof salespeople, averagecompensation averagesin the six figures. Visi-tors simply have tochoose the correct six-digit code to unlock thevault. The promotionwill take place at everyTQL office nationwide.Each open house attend-ee will be limited to oneattempt.

“We work extremelyhard here, but we alsolike to have fun,” saidKerry Byrne, TQL exec-utive vice president.“The vault is a way toshow off the trademarkTQL energy and excite-ment thatwebring toev-erything we do.”

TQL is the secondlargest freight broker-age in the nation, spe-cializing in truckloadtransportation. Thecompany is the middle-man between shipperswho have freight thatneeds to be moved withcarriers who have the

capacity tomove it. TQLhas opened 17 satelliteoffices across the nationand created more than1,200 jobs since 2009.The company plans tocreate 300 to 400 addi-tional jobs this year, pri-marily entry-level salespositions.

TQL salespeople areresponsible for arrang-ing the movement ofmore than 14,000 loadsof freight every week,negotiating rates be-tween shippers and car-riers, and ensuring ship-ments arrive completeand on-time.

“We operate in a fast-paced industry that re-quires incredible disci-pline and an outstandingworkethic. In return,weoffer employees an un-limited compensationstructure and the oppor-tunity for rapid ad-vancement,” saidByrne.

More than 90 percentof the company’s cur-rent sales leadershipteamhas been promotedfrom within.

During the openhouse, visitors can tourthe company’s local of-fices, meet with recruit-ers, and learn moreabout the positionsavailable. Qualified jobseekers will be able toparticipate in on-site in-terviews.

“TQL has grown anaverage of 30 (percent)year over year since ourfounding in 1997,” saidByrne.

TQL to host nationalopen house March 9

The only reason wekeep chickens is to getfresh eggs.

I grew up eating eggsjust about every day,especially on schooldays. And eggs are soversatile. If I have eggsin the refrigerator, I feellike I’ve got a meal, no

matter howlean thebudget orhow barethe pantry.

Thinkabout this:Eggs areall natural,and oneegg haslots ofvitamins

and minerals with onlyabout 70 calories. Thenutrients in eggs canplay a role in weightmanagement, musclestrength, healthy preg-nancy, brain function,eye health and more.Eggs got a bad rap a fewyears ago but now healthprofessionals are back onthe egg bandwagon – justdon’t overdo eating them.

One of the first tablefoods we feed the babiesfor breakfast are eggs.The protein in eggs is thehighest-quality proteinfound in any food.

Simple quicheSometimes we forget

about the really easymeals. Quiche is one ofthose. Most of us haveeggs, onions and cheeseon hand and those ingre-dients alone, with milkadded, make a deliciousquiche. When I want tomake the quiche special,I use whipping cream.Now be sure to mince theonions very small so theycook well. Otherwise,just sauté them in a bit ofbutter until they’re trans-lucent before adding tothe egg mixture. I got theoriginal recipe, before Iadapted it, from a foodmagazine, but can’t recallwhich one.

9- or 10-inch pie pan linedwith pie dough

10-12 slices bacon, crisplyfried and crumbled(optional, but so good)

1 heaping cup shreddedSwiss cheese (or yourfavorite, try extra sharpcheddar)

1⁄3 cupminced onions4 large eggs, roomtemperature

2 cups whipping cream, halfand half or milk

About 1 teaspoon salt and 1⁄2teaspoon pepper

Preheat oven to 350degrees.

Sprinkle bacon,cheese and onion in pan.Whisk eggs well andwhisk in cream and sea-sonings. Pour into pan.Pour mixture into pie

pan. Bake 45-60 minutesor until knife inserted 1inch from edge comesout clean.

Tips from Rita’skitchen

Substitute about 1 cupchopped ham or 1⁄2 poundcooked sausage for thebacon. A few dashescayenne pepper are goodin here. If crust brownstoo much before quicheis done, make a “collar”of foil around the crust.

Pineapple crunchcake

Don’t look for a highand fluffy cake here.This is a moist, densecake that keeps well inthe refrigerator. Yes, it’seven better the next day.I’ve tweaked the recipethrough the years andnow add more vanillathan I used to. I like totoast my pecans in a 350degree oven for about 8minutes or so, until theysmell fragrant, beforechopping. You don’t haveto toast the nuts, though.Now if you don’t addnuts, just call it pineap-ple cake. This is a yum-my snacking cake.

2 large eggs, roomtemperature, lightlybeaten

2 cups sugar2 cups all-purpose flour2 teaspoons baking soda1 tablespoon vanilla1⁄2 to 1 cup chopped pecansmixed with a little of theflour (optional)

1 20 oz. can unsweetened,undrained, crushedpineapple

Extra chopped pecans forgarnish

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Whisk sugar,flour and baking sodatogether. Add vanilla,eggs and pineapple andblend well. Stir in nuts

Pour into sprayed 9-inchby 13-inch pan. Bake inpreheated 350 degreeoven for 35-40 minutesuntil toothpick insertedin center comes out fair-ly clean. Don’t overbake.Cool, and frost withcream cheese icing.Serves 12 generously.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

By tossing nuts with abit of flour, they willremain suspended in thecake and not sink to thebottom.

Cream cheese icing1⁄2 stick butter or margarine,softened

8 oz, cream cheese, softened1 to 11⁄2 cups confectionerssugar

2 teaspoons vanilla

Beat butter and creamcheese. Add sugar andvanilla. Blend. Frostcooled cake. Sprinkle onnuts if using.

NON-DENOMINATIONAL

Natural disastersaround the country andhere in the Tristate areleading to higher insur-ance premiums.

Although the OhioDepartment of Insur-ance says auto andhomeowner’s insurancerates are among thelowest in the country,increases are coming.

The Cincinnati Insur-ance Board tells meincreases can be expect-ed frommore andmoreinsurance companies –and rate hikes up to 30percent are not uncom-mon.

Wanda Human ofReading said she hadbeen noticing her insur-ance premiums going upfor the past year and ahalf. It began with herauto insurance.

“$341 every sixmonths was very satis-factory. I dealt with itwhen it went to $395every six months butwhen you go up to $514every six months, come

on that’skind ofridicu-lous,”Humansaid.

Humancalled herinsuranceagent andwas told itwas due to

Hurricane Sandy and thedestruction it caused onthe east coast. Humansaid that came as quite asurprise.

“I was told if a disas-ter happened in yourstate you could see therates going up in thatstate, but not the wholeentire United States ...The insurance agentexplained to me that shehad receivedmany,many calls about this. Isaid, ‘Are a lot of peopledropping you?’ and shesaid, ‘Yes, they are.’”

In addition to her autoinsurance, Human saysshe’s seen her homeown-er’s premiums going up.

She had it renewedonce and has seen thepremium go from $790to $981 – almost a $200increase – and that waseven before the eastcoast storm.

In talking with herinsurance agent Hu-man says she’s learnedher rate hikes aren’tunusual. “She said thatthere are some in-creases of 30 percenton some people, peoplewho hadn’t even filedany claims,” Humansaid.

Human says she’sdecided to switch toanother insurance com-pany. I told her that’sfine but when sheswitches she needs tomake a change in herdeductible. I found herauto insurance policyhas a very low $250deductible. Human saidshe didn’t think thatwould be a problem –until now. I told her shecan reduce her premi-um by increasing her

deductible from $250 to$500.

When it comes toHuman’s homeowner’sinsurance policy, shecan decrease that pre-mium by increasing herdeductible to $1,000.

Remember, filing ahomeowner’s insuranceclaim will go againstyour record and yourpolicy could be can-celed if you have toomany claims. There-fore, depending on thesize of your house, itmay even pay you toincrease your deduct-ible to $3,000. After all,homeowners insuranceis really only designedto cover major losses soit often doesn’t pay tofile a claim if the dam-age is less than $3,000.

Howdy folks,This cat of ours,

“Chessy,” sleeps in achair in our bedroom.About 6 a.m. she willjump on the bed, thenlays on both of us. WhenRuth Ann gets up, shewatches which way sheturns. If she goes to thebathroom, Chessy willlay on me. If Ruth Anngoes to the kitchen, thecat jumps down and goeswith her.

Last week while theweather was warm andsunny, I worked in thegarden and yard andcleaned up the fence row,getting ready for spring.We will be planting pota-toes on St. Patrick’s Day,March 17. A feller I usedto help plant clover in thespring, always said if youwant a green field ofclover, plant on St. Pat-rick’s Day. This farmeralways had a good haycrop. Each year wewould walk and sow12 to18 acres. He was a goodfarmer. This feller wasFloyd Clark.

Last week the furnacein the Monroe GrangeHall at Nicholsville need-ed some repair. It hasbeen a long time sinceany repair work wasdone to it.

Wednesday, Feb. 20,we went to the adult daycare center at the Cler-mont Senior Services onJames Sauls Drive to talkto about 60 seniors. Thisis always a good time forme. We talk about thethings they know.

Last Saturday morn-ing, the Bethel LionsClub had their pancakebreakfast with pancakes,sausage, tater cakes,coffee, juice or milk.There was a good crowd.This is a time when folkscan sit and visit.

Saturday evening theBoy Scouts held theirBlue and Gold banquet inBatavia to cross overfromWebloes to BoyScouts. There was a goodcrowd. There were fourboys to go to Boy Scouts.The boys were Logan,Alex, Ethan and Parker.This was a very excitingtime for everyone. Theparents of these Scoutsare very involved andfolks that is special. Themotto of Pack 742 is “doyour best.”

Last week I said toRuth Ann, I think somemonkey bread would begood and she thought so,too. Now when she makesthis, we need to call ourgranddaughter Michelleand her husband, Brad.

So onMon-day morn-ing RuthAnnmadethe mon-key breadand since itwas a holi-day, Mi-chelle andBrad wereoff work,

so they came out forbreakfast. There was abig bowl of scrambledeggs to go along with thebread. WhenMichellewas at home, she wouldcall Grandma and ask ifshe would make monkeybread. Boy, did she enjoythe feast.

The Grants Farm andGreenhouses have sever-al kinds of plants grow-ing. Tony said they weretransplanting cabbageand tomatoes. I alongwith lots of gardenersare anxious to get plantsin the ground.

I was talking to Mikeat the Boars Head BaitShop at Afton. He saidlast Monday there wereseveral folks fishing. Weare getting anxious to gofishing. I called Sherry’sLake on Slade Road.They will be closed Tues-day andWednesday andthen be open Thursday,Friday, Saturday, SundayandMonday, until theweather gets better. Ialso called Cedar Lake.They are closed Tuesday,Wednesday and Thurs-day, then open FridaythroughMonday fortrout fishing. They alongwith Sherry’s have somefine trout.

The Bethel Lions Clubmet last Monday eveningand took in five newmembers. The LionsClubs the world over doso much for eye care andmeasles in the ThirdWorld countries, andother community pro-jects. Both of us belongto the Bethel Lions Club.Ruth Ann has been amember for 14 years andI have been for 42 years.Both of us feel it is timeand money well spent forthe good the club does.The members pay theirstate and national duesand for their meals at themeetings. The moneymade through the pan-cake breakfasts, thecircus coming to town,and the community birth-day calendars goes forthe eyeglasses, eye ex-ams and all the othercommunity projects theydo.

Ruth Ann has a couplecactus plants and they

are both blooming sobeautiful. This is the firsttime they have bothbloomed at the sametime. Sure makes a fellerfell better with this coldweather.

There is a new busi-ness at 3097 South Ban-tam Road. This veteri-nary service came fromFelicity. They do a superjob. Their telephonenumber is 734-9400. Theyserve all animals largeand small. We know somefolks that this vet takescare of their horses andare very happy with theservice. Welcome to thenew location. It is theRolling Hills VeterinaryClinic with Dr. KellyLiming and Dr. JasonPatchell.

Now last week ourgranddaughter Jenniferand great-granddaughterBrooklyn were here forlunch. Brooklyn surelyenjoyed the visit. Shetold her mom, “I want abird house.” We went tothe carpenter shop andshe picked out the birdhouse she wanted.Grandma asked her whatcolor she was going topaint it, she said, “pink,blue and white.” Shewanted it so the Mom andDad birds can feed thebaby birds. It is such ablessing when our familycan come to enjoy a mealthat Ruth Ann fixes andthe love they share on us.We thank them and loveeach one special.

Ruth Ann will put areceipt in for the monkeybread. Also while we are

talking about recipes, sheforgot to tell you to peelthe potatoes after theywere cool and throw thebay leaves away, in thepotato recipe from lastweek.

Monkey Bread1/2 cup granulated

sugar and 1 teaspooncinnamon - put this in azip lock bag.

3 (7.5oz) cans of bis-cuits (not Grands) (Iusually go ahead and buyand use the 4 cans thatcome together)

1 cup brown sugar3/4 cup melted marga-

rine.

Spray a 12-cup flutedcake pan.

Seperate the biscuits,cut each biscuit into 4pieces, shake in the bagwith the sugar and cinna-mon to coat each piece,then place it in the pan-.Turn the oven on to 350degrees.

After all pieces havebeen placed around inthe pan, mix the meltedmargarine and brownsugar and pour over thebiscuit pieces.

Bake for 28 to 32 min-utes or until goldenbrown and no longerdoughy. Cool in the pan10 minutes, turn upsidedown on a large servingplate. Pull apart to serve.Serve warm.

Start your week bygoing to the house ofworship of your choiceand praise the GoodLord. God bless all. Morelater.
