STONELICK TWP. — A teary-eyed Neil Leist announced Oct. 17that he would be leaving his post asthe superintendent of the Cler-mont Northeastern Local SchoolDistrict.
The decision came after Leistwas offered a job as the superin-tendent of Eastern Local SchoolDistrict in Pike County, Ohio. Leistis from Beaver, which is in PikeCounty, and his parents still livethere.
“This has been an amazing dis-trict toworkforandIamonlyleav-ing to go home to be with my fam-ily,” he said. “When we moved toMt. Orab10 years ago, it was so wecould be with my daughters and
my parents were in good health.Now (my parents’ health) is not sogood and my daughters are older,so we’re moving back.”
Leist’s last day will be Dec. 31.About 10 years ago, Leist was
hired to be the assistant highschool and middle school princi-pal. He then moved to the middleschool for the assistant principalposition and later the elementaryschoolprincipal.Fiveyearsago,hetook over as superintendent.
Since then Leist has made hismark on CNE by improving theschool’s rating on the Ohio reportcards and building an administra-tive team that works together.
“Inthelastfiveyears,we’veputa lot of energy putting an adminis-trative team in place that will dowhat needs to be done and that will
focus on the area on instruction,”said Assistant SuperintendentWayneJohnson.“We’reworkingtoconnect the dots between build-ings and create strands betweengrade levels to make sure the kidsare being delivered what theyneed to do well. I think we’ve madeimprovements.”
Leist also published “Superin-tendent Savings Strategies” aboutways other districts, like CNE, cancut costs. Leist has been on localand national news broadcasts talk-ingaboutthebookandsavingmon-ey at CNE.
“He’s really been the pied piperofCNEandpeoplearoundthestaterecognize us for a lot of positivereasons,” Johnson said.
The school board held backtears as they accepted Leist’s let-
ter of resignation.“There’s a lot we could say. It’s
been an honor to have Mr. LeistleadingourdistrictandIknowthathe has great things in his future,”school board President JayneMummert said. “Although we’dlove to hold onto his ankles kickingand screaming, we’re supportinghis decision because it’s the bestthing for his family.”
The school board appointedJohnson as the interim superinten-dent effective Jan. 1.
The superintendent job will bepostedinternallyfor10daysand, ifnocandidateishired,willbeadver-tised outside the district.

WAYNE TWP. — A roadside his-torical marker that recognizes thesignificance of a pioneer trailthrough Clermont County wasknocked over in an apparent at-tempt to steal it, possibly for itsscrap metal value.
The post holding the marker, at6577 Ohio 133 near Edenton, wasbent over sometime Oct. 13 or orOct.14,saidPamHelton,whorentsa home on the property.
ThedamagewasreportedtotheClermont County Sheriff’s Office,and deputies turned the informa-tion over to the Ohio Departmentof Transportation.
Josh Wallace, Clermont Countymanager for ODOT, said stateworkers removed the markerfrom the damaged post.
He said workers will install anew post and replace the marker.
“Wewillputitbackupassoonaswe can,” he said.
In a report on the damage to themarker, Deputy Nicholas Crouchwrote the sign was made of metal,“and it is possible someone wastrying to scrap it.”
Ron Hill, president of the Cler-mont County Historical Society,said the marker was installed in2000 as part of the county’s bicen-tennial celebration.
“The signs were put upthroughout the county,” he said.“Every township got at least one.”
The marker commemoratesthe path of the Bullskin Trace, anold Indian and pioneer trail thatran through the county, Hill said.
PaulEmery,whoownstheprop-erty, said there also is a nearbystonemonumentmarkingthetrail.
That monument, built in the1920s, was not disturbed by thepeople who bent the marker post,he said.

CLERMONT CO. — Mealson Wheels, adult day care,home care, medical trans-portation – these are allservices seniors in Cler-mont County receivethrough Clermont SeniorServices. When voters de-cide the fate of Issue 13this election day, these arethe services that could beimpacted.
Issue 13 is the renewalrequest for the 1.3-milllevy that pays for servicesprovided to seniors. Themoney from this levy goesto Clermont County andthe commissioners con-tract with Clermont SeniorServices to provide theservices.
The current levy ex-pires Dec. 31and, without anew levy, Clermont SeniorServices will not be able tooperate.
“The senior serviceslevy is the cornerstone ofour funding. It’s 75 to 80
percent of our budget andit allows us to meet the re-quired local match forstate and federal dollars,”said George Brown, Cler-mont Senior Services ex-ecutive director. “If thelevy doesn’t pass, wewould be faced with hav-ing to put a plan togetherfor closing down our oper-ations.”
Brown said ClermontSenior Services providessome type of service toabout 5,000 older adults. Atleast half of those wouldhave to go into a nursinghome to receive the neces-sary services - like trans-portation to medical ap-pointments - especially di-alysis - steady meals andadult day care. Only aboutthree percent of the fund-ing the organization re-ceives is spent on seniorcenter activities, he said.
If the levy passes, it willbring in about $5.4 millionper year for the next fiveyears. According to ChiefDeputy Auditor Chuck Til-
bury, the 1.3-mill levy willcost $37 per $100,000 of ho-mevalue. That totals about$3.16 per month. This iswhat taxpayers are payingtoday.
“This is a renewal thatwill not raise taxes. Therewas no justification, inthese hard economictimes, to propose an in-crease. Families are strug-gling and our board made aconscious and deliberateeffort to button down thehatches and do everythingwe could to reduce spend-
ing so we could just ask fora renewal,” Brown said.
The organization insti-tuted a wage freeze in2008, increased employeehealth care contributionsand eliminated eight full-time and several part-timepositions. Operationalchanges made includechanging Meals-on-Wheels to weekly delivery.

Mywork history has had metraveling around the worldin various technical capac-ities, as well as my educa-tional CV had me traveling.I have been the sole propri-etor of a contracting busi-ness, a partner in an agri-cultural venture, and cur-rently, while employed at alocal fortune 500 company,a sole proprietor again.
Part of my past includesmy very proud service inthe U.S. Army where I re-ceived accolades and
awards and rewards for mytechnical abilities. Aftermy service, I went to workfor a local soap manufac-turing company where Iworked in robot assisted in-strumental analysis. My ef-forts resulted in my travel-ing to other technical cen-ters to develop similartechniques there. Part ofthat work took me to my aplace where I am spendingthe rest of my career, IT. Iam currently employed in adeveloper advisory posi-tion in an electronic clear-inghouse. My work therehas led to me to co-authornational standards for theelectronic interchanges Iuse for transactions.
Publicly, I have beenelected to our civic associa-tion and led for almost fouryears an effort that culmi-nated in working with ourcounty to get a better sew-age treatment plant thanwas originally planned forour community. I am alsoan active participatingmember of the MiamiTownship Tea Party and an
active member of the Ger-man American Civic Fo-rum. I am very active in mychurch and its ministries,mostly the local ministries.

A: It is as vitally impor-tant to me as it is to you tosee our Miami Townshipprosper and become thehome we need it to becomefor not only us but also forour children and grandchil-dren. To that end, we needto insure that our money iswell spent, rules and regu-lations are enforced equal-ly, and the management ofour township is run honest-ly, openly, and equitably. Ido not believe this is thecase currently. I want towork to bring trust back tothe office of trustee. This isnot possible when our localoffices are used as springboards for political andpersonal gain.

WALPOLE/THE COMMUNITY PRESS
Summer mornings before soc-cer practice usually found KylieSumner awake early.
The Clermont NortheasternHigh School soccer star enteredher senior season as one of themost highly regarded soccer tal-ents in the area – a Division I col-lege recruit. So it’s not surprisingthat her work ethic had her greet-ing the dawn.
She would awake very early inJune. Like 6 a.m. early.
She had a very specific sched-ule. A warmup jog? Individualskill drills before team practice?
No. First she had friends tovisit. Friends down on her grand-parents’ farm – Stone ValleyFarm – in Batavia.
Her hogs.“You have to take them for a
morning walk,” Sumner explains.See, Sumner isn’t just one of
the area’s best soccer players.She also shows award-winninghogs in the Clermont County Fair.
“It really showed me the re-sponsibility it takes to do any-thing,” Sumner said. “I had to puta lot aside. It’s just an amazing ex-perience.”
Sumner has been showing ani-mals, mainly hogs and goats, atthe Clermont County Fair sinceshe was 9, following in the foot-steps of her parents, Tracey andJim Sumner, and older brother,Tanner. Her mom has been withher every step of the process, asan adviser for the fair, helping or-ganize the Stonelick Shamrocks4-H Club, even helping her walkthe hogs during those early sum-mer mornings.
Whereas many kids’ interestin the animals tends to wane asthey get older, Tracey said, Ky-lie’s passion for the fair has onlyincreased.
The last two years Kylie’shogs – Petrie in 2010 and BobbyMcGee in 2011 – won GrandChampion Market Barrow hon-ors, judged on everything fromtheir weight to their muscle toneto their behavior.
“I went to the fair this year,and I saw her pigs,” CNE headgirls soccer coach Misty Goetzsaid. “Kylie’s definitely responsi-ble to her team just as much asshe is to her animals. Responsi-bility and dedication would carry
over to both of them.”Kylie was a senior captain for
the Rockets this season. Afterearning league player of the yearhonors last season, she garneredall the attention of opposing de-fenses this fall. As a result, herscoring (22 goals as a junior)went down but her assists wentup – especially helpful to CNE’svery talented freshman class.
“The teams we’re playingknow how good she is,” Goetzsaid. “Just about every gameshe’s had two marks on her, soshe’s been the playmaker. Her as-sists have given a lot of opportu-nities to other players to score.”
The coaches at Indiana StateUniversity were impressedenough to offer Kylie a scholar-ship. She picked the Sycamoresover Ohio University and the Uni-versity of Dayton, among others.
When Kylie was younger, as itbecame clear that her talents onthe soccer field might warrantplaying year-round, the familyhad to discuss the possibility ofcutting back on her time with theanimals.
“Definitely not,” said Kylie,still adamant about the choice allthese years later. “I would nevertake back showing.”
Tracey remembers talkingabout it.
“She said, ‘I don’t want to stopshowing my pigs.’ So we ex-plained it to her coaches going in.They understood. They werevery supportive. And fortunatelythe schedule was OK,” she said.“She was able to balance it. She’s
a pretty determined kid when sheputs her mind to something.”
Those summer days that start-ed at 6 a.m. would often include amorning CNE soccer practice, apractice in the evening with herclub team and multiple trips toher grandparents’ farm in be-tween to tend to the hogs.
Safe to say many of her Cin-cinnati Soccer Alliance Elite clubteammates, hailing from moreurban high schools like UrsulineAcademy and St. Ursula, werenot checking in on their pigs inbetween practices.
“None of them get it,” Kyliesaid. “They’ve never seen a pigshow. But I’m proud of it.”
Kylie gets her new set of pigsevery spring. She gives them allnames – this year’s theme wasold-time country music names.And then they are sold at the endof the Fair in late July.
“Every year when I wouldhave to sell my hog, I would cryand cry and cry,” Kylie said“They’re basically like my petsfor three to four months.”
This summer’s fair was espe-cially emotional for the family.Kylie’s college soccer commit-ments next summer will likelymake it impossible for her toshow hogs at the 2012 fair – a factthat dawned on mother anddaughter this past summer.
“When we went and did the fi-nal cleaning for the pigs,” Kyliesaid. “We were like, ‘This is thelast time.’ And of course me andmy mom started crying.”
Kylie said she still plans tostay involved as an adult adviserfor the fair in the future. She alsowill help her friend Maria Hillbreed pigs at the Hills’ farm inBatavia.
“It’s going to be hard,” Kyliesaid. “I have been to fair everyyear since I was born.”
Fittingly, her two passionscross paths, on the calendar atleast, next summer. The firstweek of her new life as a memberof Indiana State’s soccer team – ateam-bonding retreat – falls onfair week.
“She works very hard at bothof her things that she’s in lovewith. And it paid off,” Traceysaid. “If you’re going to do some-thing, you do it100 percent or youdon’t do it at all. And she has beenable to put 100 percent into bothof them.”

Vote ‘yes’ on Issue 2Our local communities now
spend as much as 80 percent oftheir budgets on rising laborcosts, resulting in an endless de-mand for more levies and highertaxes. Issue 2 provides fair andreasonable reforms to help thosecommunities balance budgetsand get the cost of governmentunder control.
Without the common sense re-forms of Issue 2, implementedover time, Ohio will be forced tobalance their budget by reducinglabor costs resulting in moreworkers losing their jobs. And be-cause the system is based on sen-iorityandnotmerit, theresultwillbe eliminating jobs of public ser-vants we want to keep, and keep-ing those we want to eliminate.
In addition, Issue 2 preventsthe payroll deduction of manda-tory union dues. If people wanttheir union and what it does, they
can pay their dues. If they do not,then they can withhold their dues.This is a big transfer of powerfrom the union bosses back to therank and file workers.
Voters should take note of whois opposing Issue 2: The Demo-cratic party, the unions, the “pro-gressives,” the environmental ex-tremists, and yes, even the Presi-dent. We must change this courseand vote “yes” on Issue 2.
Larry HellerMiami Township
Vote ‘yes’ on Issue 3Although we have an off-year
election on Nov. 8, there is a verycritical issue on the ballot - theOhio Healthcare FreedomAmendment.
Issue 3, the Ohio HealthcareFreedom Amendment, is to pre-serve and protect Ohioan’s free-dom to make their individualhealthcare and health insurancedecisions. It is the important firststep to stopping the federal gov-ernment’s individual healthcaremandate and preventing Ohio’sstategovernmentfromenactingastate-level individual mandatethat requires individuals to pur-chase any level of insurance cov-erage.
Over 500,000 signatures weresecured by this citizen-basedgrass-root movement effort to
amend the constitution of thestate of Ohio. This is the first sucheffort in the history of Ohio andfirst in the country. Vote “yes” onIssue 3 to help stop governmentrun healthcare, to protect statesovereigntyofOhio,andtobepartof Ohio political history.

Oct. 19 questionsWhat was the best Halloween
costume you ever wore? Whatmade it so good?a
“The best Halloween costumeI've ever worn is, hands down, myJawa costume. It was Halloween1978. Star Wars was the BIG hit inthe theaters the previous year(May 1977). My mom made ourcostumes! I was a Jawa; mybrothers were C3PO and DarthVader; and, our friend up thestreet was Chewbacca. I can hon-estly say ‘I remember it like itwas yesterday.’ I can. And I'll re-member that one as long as I'm aStar Wars fan, which will be for-ever and a day.”
J.K.
“That would be the one I woreat a neighbor's party about 15-20years ago. It was a simple blackbathrobe that looked like the onesprofessional boxers wear into thering. Across the back, I had af-fixed golden letters which saidsimply ‘Iron Mike.’ I brought apair of boxing gloves to finish itoff. It was a big hit!”
Bill B.
“Back in the ’80s, when mykids were small, I built a woodenframe on top of the frame of analuminum backpack that had ahead like ball on top. I thendraped the whole thing in blackcloth to become a 10' tall blackspecter, very scary.”
F.S.D.
“Not really a costume, but wewould put painting equipmentprops next to the port-o-lets atone local haunted house, and aspeaker behind one of them wait-ing for the perfect victim to enterone. Then we would wait a minuteor so, and calmly tell the occu-pant to ‘hurry up, we are trying topaint the basement and they areblocking the light!’”
O.H.R.
“In college I went to a party asa graffiti ghost - cut eyeholes in aplain white sheet, took somemarkers with me, and asked oth-er guests to ‘write on my wall. Itwas a great costume because ev-eryone had such fun writingthings and then reading what oth-ers wrote - I became the hit of theparty.
“I remember it because 40-something years later I still havethat sheet. We take it to outdoorconcerts and events, and sit on it.It still draws attention and com-ments.”
J.R.B.
“The best costume I ever worewas actually two costumes. Wehad a lady in our neighborhoodwho gave out a dime for Hallow-een. Back in the early ’60s, thiswas a real haul. We would wearone costume and get our dime andlater we would come back with adifferent costume later and getanother dime. That is one of mybest Halloween memories.

NEXT QUESTIONHow will you remember CarlLindner? Did you have anypersonal dealings with him?
Every week The Community Journalasks readers a questions that they canreply to via e-mail. Send your answersto [email protected] with“Chatroom” in the subject line.
I want to thank Theresa Her-ron and the Community Pressfor the opportunity to write thisguest article. I am privileged to
be a candidatefor Goshen lo-cal board ofeducation. I amseeking this po-sition becauseof my passion-ate belief in thevalue of qualitypublic educa-tion. I believethat educationhas always
been extremely important butis especially so in today’s globaleconomy. I am retired afterover 40 years in public educa-tion. I have found that I missthat interaction with young peo-ple and attempting to have a
positive impact on their lives.Many years ago I was the
product of a public school edu-cation. Many people in thatschool made a significant im-pact on my life. I told myselfback then that I would repaythose people by attempting tohave a similar impact on youngpeople. If I am elected to serveon the board of education I lookforward to working with the ad-ministrators, teachers, parentsand community to make thelives of Goshen students better.
I have lived in Goshen for 40years. It is my home. My wifeand I raised our family here. Webelieve in the Goshen schoolsystem so much that we sentour own children to the Goshenschools. All four of our kidswere educated by the schooldistrict and are Goshen alumni.
I am proud of that and am proudof Goshen.
I want the students of Go-shen to understand they are thebest. Goshen student should be-lieve in being a Warrior and al-ways bleed red and gray. I caredeeply about Goshen and I feelthat with my expertise in educa-tion that is where I can make apositive contribution to thecommunity I care so muchabout.
Again, I want to thank every-one who has supported me inthis endeavor. I will work tire-lessly to make everything asso-ciated with Goshen localschools – excellent.
Yours in Education.George Rise is a candidate for
the Goshen Local School DistrictBoard of Education on the Nov. 8
ballot.

Rise will give back on Goshen BOE
In1972,operationsbeganatthelandfill in Jackson Township nowknown as CECOS. Before beingshutdowntoacceptingdeliveryofwaste in 1988, the site became
home to thou-sands of tons ofhighly toxicchemical indus-trial waste.Sealedindrums,the waste wasstackedinpits inthe ground thatwas lined withclay and plasticbefore beingcovered. Astime goes by, ob-
viously the metal drums will de-cay and the chemicals will leak tothe surrounding dirt. The theoryis that the pits are impervious toground water getting in and like-wisegettingout.That’s thetheory.
The question is, is the 1970stechnology of sealing acres of soilworking? Some do not think so.What happens if the nasty chemi-cals leak into the area ground out-side of the pits? What happens ifthey mix with other nasty chemi-cals? What happens if it gets intothe ground water then into theaquifer? Can the chemicals maketheir way into the nearby creekand then into our water supply?Who is to monitor and report ifthese chemicals escape? Theseare questions the state and feder-ally-required “Post-Closure Plan”is supposed to address. While thereport deadline is quickly ap-proaching, this is not somethingyou want to rush - and it has notbeen.
I was recently asked by Jack-son Township residents to assistother legislators who have beenasked to intervene on their behalf.While the Jackson Township siteis not officially in my district, thewatershed of the site, includingHarsha Lake at East Fork StatePark is.
I met a few days ago with theOhio EPA in their Dayton offices.They responded to my request fora full briefing with enthusiasmand professionalism I have not of-ten experienced in other stateagencies. For several hours, fiveprofessionals and scientists ex-
plained what they have requiredof CECOS and what they will con-tinue to require long into the fu-ture. They realize the stakes arehigh. If contaminants get out, youcould have another “New YorkLove Canal” incident of the 1970swhere an entire community wascontaminated by buried chemi-cals, which by the way is now bur-ied at the CECOS site.
Many have reservations andconflicted feelings about the OE-PA. An arm of both the state andU.S. EPA, it is sometimes consid-ered an over-regulating agencythat impedes certain progress. Inthis case I am finding that someare considering them to be bothover-reaching and under-reach-ingatthesametime.Afterlookingat the considerable data that theycontinue to collect on the CECOSsite, I at least feel comfortablethat they are spending a consider-ableamountoftimeandresourcesto see that Republic Services (thecurrent owners of CECOS) is heldaccountable to the extent the lawpermits them to.
In dealing with the “Post Clo-sure Plan” where it will be deter-mined how industry and govern-ment is going to work together tocontinue to monitor and protectour community, we still have along way to go to where all sidesagree. My hope is that it does notbecome a set-in-stone static docu-ment, but rather changes with theneeds of the community. Perhapsit will contain a requirement foran annual committee review toseeiftheplanisprovidingthebestprotection.Onething iscertain,aslong as there is chemical waste inthe ground at the site, neither in-dustry nor government can walkawayfromit.That isstateandfed-eral law.
There are more meetings setup in the next couple of weeks Iwill be attending to continue to ad-dress this issue and I’ll representthe people of Clermont County tothe fullest extent allowed.

Tip from Rita’skitchen
Soup not thick enough?Start adding instantmashed potato flakes a lit-tle at a time, stirring and al-lowing time for them tothicken.
Boxed made betterBlueberry muffins with
lemon glaze. My sister,Madelyn Zimmerman,brought blueberry muffinsto a luncheon I had. Theyhad a tart/sweet lemonglaze that made everyonewant seconds.

MILFORD — Jeff Lykins,president and CEO of Ly-kins Companies, presentedCASA For Clermont Kidswith a bright pink $30,100check during a lunch at Pa-drino Oct. 17.
The donation is part ofthe company’s golf outingprofits. Lykins Companieshas donated more than$290,000 to CASA since
2000, said Amanda List, ex-ecutive director of the or-ganization.
“The Lykins donation isa huge part of our operat-ing budget,” List said.“Without them, wewouldn’t be able to servenear as many kids as wedo.”
Since the donation wasmade last year, CASA vol-unteers - court appointedspecial advocates - repre-sented 190 children, List
said.Jeff Lykins said they
started donating to CASAbecause they wanted to beable to give back to a localorganization.
"This is a great groupthat goes largely unseen inour community and theywork with children whowould slip through thecracks,” he said. “It’s reallya calling for these volun-teers and we’re happy wecan be a part of that.”

support from the UnitedWay, state and federaldollars and other re-sources to provide quali-ty services to seniors.
As a private, nonprofitagency, we are governedby a volunteer board ofbusiness leaders and citi-zens who assure re-sources are used effec-tively.
This brings me to an-other little known fact.Although Clermont Sen-ior Services is a humanservice organization, it isrun like a business. Thetrustees and ExecutiveDirector George Browntake performance im-provement and financialaccountability very seri-ously. We continuallyseek ways to operatemore efficiently andraise the quality of ser-vice. Exemplary custom-er service is our productand one of our companyvalues. Every dollar we
I would like to sharesome little known factsabout Clermont SeniorServices.
Probably the biggestlittle known fact is thatwe are a private, nonprof-it organization. People as-
sume that we are part ofcounty government, butwe are not. The agencywas founded as a private,nonprofit organizationmore than 40 years ago byLois Brown Dale, who sawthat seniors needed help
to live in-depen-dently.She wasinstru-mental ingettingstate lawchangedto allowseniorserviceslevies on
the ballot. Today, about 80percent of our revenuecomes from the ClermontCounty senior serviceslevy.
Fact two is the seniorservices levy dollars donot automatically come toClermont Senior Ser-vices. We must apply forlevy money. ClermontSenior Services has en-joyed a contract partner-ship with the county com-missioners. This is agreat partnership be-cause we are able to com-bine levy dollars with
spend must benefit thecustomer.
Here is fact four. In ad-dition to dedicated staff,we have more than 500volunteers who help de-liver services every year.Their service helpsstretch resources evenfurther.
Another fact: Our staffand volunteers do a wholelot more than transportpeople to medical ap-pointments and deliverMeals-on-Wheels. Ourmission is to help seniorslive independently, so wedo things like bathe peo-ple, wash their hair, cleantheir homes, go to the gro-cery, pick up prescrip-tions, install grab barsand build ramps. We pro-vide information and re-ferrals, help fill outforms, conduct caregiverand bereavement supportgroups and provide adultday care. And for thoseable to leave home, we
provide socialization op-portunities throughoutthe county. It’s muchhealthier to spend timewith other people than tosit at home alone.
I admit a certain biastoward CSS. I consider it agift to have a job I love, towork with people I re-spect, and do somethingthat makes a difference inpeople’s lives. After near-ly 17 years, I have come toknow CSS inside out. I sin-cerely believe it is runlike a fine-tuned machine,providing help to nearly5,000 people a year.
The current levy endsDec. 31, 2011. That’s whythe passage of the seniorservices renewal levy(will not raise taxes) Nov.8 is so important. Withoutit, we would have to closeour doors - after 40 years.

Howdy folks,We got a very exciting
phone call one morninglast week. Our grand-daughter Michelle calledto say she got engaged to afine feller named BradFelix. Both of these kidsare special we are so hap-py for them. Congrat-ulations to you we loveyou both.
Last week, Ruth Annand I were watching tele-vision. We could hear thecat, “Summer” scratchingon the screen door, it is asliding screen door. Hefinally pulled the screendoor open. Here he cameand jumped on the couchthen in Ruth Ann’s lap. Hewas very happy and rolledaround her lap. After awhile I opened the screendoor and called him. Hejumped down and ranoutside. After this he wentand curled up in his cor-ner to sleep. Since he isthe only cat we have, he issurely taking advantage ofthis opportunity. That isOK with us. We lost Dixiea couple weeks ago thenthe next week we lostRichoette.
Last week there was agroup of folks from theBethel United MethodistChurch that went down toMoscow for a steamboatsand steamboating pro-gram. The program washeld in the RivervalleyCommunity Center. Lastweek I dug the sweetpotatoes. We got a busheland they will be wonderfulto eat this winter alongwith corn bread, fish and agood salad. Makes youhungry.
Friday we had ourgroup from church here
for a fishfry. Therewere 20people hereand eachcouplebrought acovereddish. Wefurnishedthe fishcrappie
that we caught here atEast Fork Lake. Ruth Annfried 62 crappie filets andthey were about all eaten.This was the biggestgroup of folks we ever hadin our house. There wereseveral folks that hadnever eaten crappie andthey were really im-pressed with the way RuthAnn fried the fish. Sherolls them in pancake mix.
We pulled the last ofthe carrots and pickedgreen beans last week.
The late garden crops areso good. The lettuce weplanted is sure doing good.We are so thankful for thegood garden. It is lots ofwork, but so good.
Sunday at the BethelUnited Methodist Churchthey had a chili cook off.Several of the men madetheir good chili. There wassome that was great. Itwould get your taste budsreally working and neededlots of water to put the fireout. That is what I like.
Sunday afternoon wewent to our daughter Deb-by's house for a birthdayand an anniversary cele-bration. We like to putseveral together whenthey are all close together.Our great granddaughterwas the star at this party.Brooklyn is now walkingor rather running. She haseverybody's attention and
knows how to get it. Sheknows how to use her handto throw kisses. She hasour full attention.
Ruth Ann made fourpies, one chocolate, onecherry, one apple and onebutterscotch. Each personhas their favorite but me, Ilike all of them. Now thatreally makes you hungrydoesn't it?
The Clermont P.E.R. I.
