Fronk said.“This is basically instituting

a fee for service vehicles andpersonnel that go out on theseruns.”

Kelly said billing programslike this are conducted in morethan 85 percent of communi-ties nationwide.

“This will help offset someof the budgetary costs,” hesaid.

“We are not asking for any

more (money) out of pocket.”If residents receive pay-

ment from their insurancecompany for transport, theyare required to send that to thefire department.

“Accepting those fundscould result in criminalcharges for insurance fraud,”Kelly said in the memo.

If residents are transportedby another jurisdiction, thepolicy of the responding entity

will trump the township’s.“Therefore, township resi-

dents may receive a bill forany balance due on the claim,”Kelly said in the memo.

Uninsured residents will notbe expected to pay for trans-port, Kelly said.

The billing program issomething Kelly did while heworked at the West ChesterFire Department.

Typically, they receivedabout one-third of what theybilled for. The rest is writtenoff, he said.

Fronk said expected reve-nue from this programwas notincluded in the township’s 2014budget, but said it will be “wellneeded.”

Non-residents will still berequired to meet their co-payand deductible obligations,Kelly said in the memo.

Miami Township trusteesrecently approved a contractfor transport billing with Med-icount Management, the town-ship’s billing company.

Officials say the changewon’t cost residents more be-cause it is their insurance com-panies that are actually billed.

“The billing program isdesigned to totally eliminateout-of-pocket costs for resi-dents by waiving any co-paysor deductibles after a patient’sinsurance, Medicare or Medi-caid have been billed for trans-port services,” Fire ChiefSteve Kelly wrote in a memo.

Township AdministratorLarry Fronk said this programcould generate around$500,000 a year.

“Our residents will neverreceive a bill. Whatever theinsurance companies are will-ing to pay, we will accept,”

“In no way should anyone beconcerned about this affectingthe level of service.”

After the escape of morethan 50 exotic animals from afarm in Zanesville, the stateand all Ohio counties are cre-ating a response plan in thecase of a similar event.

Clermont County commis-sioners created a committee tocraft an emergency responseplan in case any dangerouswild animals escape or are

intentionally released, saidPam Broughton, director of theClermont County EmergencyManagement Agency.

The state is requiring allcounties to create a team, aspart of the Ohio Revised Code,according to the resolution.

The committee will draftthe response plan, as well astake applications to be part ofthe Clermont County Danger-

ous Wild Animal EmergencyResponse Team.

Broughton said the plan ismainly for first responderswho would be on the scene toguide them in dealing with thesituation.

Creating the plan is part ofthe state’s response to theZanesville escape in 2011, whenTerry Thompson releasedmore than 50 lions, tigers,

bears, wolvesand monkeysfrom hisZanesvillefarm.

Thompsonthen commit-ted suicide.

Police shotand killedmost of theanimals. Sixanimals were

captured and taken to the Co-lumbus Zoo and Aquarium andplaced under quarantine.

The Clermont County com-mittee is made up of nine peo-ple from various organizations,including fire departments, theAmerican Red Cross and theCincinnati Zoo and BotanicalGardens.

Broughton said the commit-tee has to create a plan by Feb.28, and then will need to beapproved by the county com-missioners.

BRIEFLY

Ted Stevenot, theUnion Township tea partyleaderwhohadplanned toenter the GOP gubernato-rial primary, has decidednot to run after all.

His decision camethree days after he gavenotice about a press con-ference next week thatwould have launched hiscandidacy for governor.

“Though my runningmate, BrendaMack, and Ihave received a tremen-dous outpouring of sup-port and encouragementsince that announcement,I have decided not to runfor governor at this time,”Stevenot said in a state-ment late Saturday.

His statement did notelaborate on the reasonsfor his decision. In a textmessage exchange onSunday, he declined addi-tional comment.

With the decision, Gov.John Kasich likely es-capes a primary chal-lenge from a tea partybase angry with some ofhis policies, especially his

move to expand Medi-caid inOhio underPresi-dent Barack Obama’sAffordable Care Act.

Democratic guberna-torial candidate Ed Fitz-Gerald still faces a pos-sible primary threat,with Hamilton CountyCommissionerToddPor-tune traveling the statetoexplore thepossibilityof running for governor.

Stevenot, who co-owns a Blue Ash insur-ance brokerage andfounded the ClermontCounty Tea Party, decid-ed to run for officewhenstate tea party leaderscouldn’t findanyoneelsewilling to challengeKas-ich.

“You can say youdon’t like John Kasich,butwe spent all summer

talking with people whowere credible, peoplewith political experiencewho we felt should runagainst John Kasich, andthey wouldn’t do it be-cause of party repercus-sions,” said Tom Zawis-towski, who, like Steve-not, is a former presidentof the Ohio Liberty Coali-tion. “Tedwas theonewhosaid, ‘I’ll stepupanddo it.’”

In the statement re-leased Saturday, Stevenotsaid his decision came af-ter discussions with fam-ily, friends and advisers.

“I do this reluctantly,because I know that partof what has gone wrongwith our political processis that the two major par-ties have made it exceed-ingly difficult for a com-

mon person to run for of-fice,” Stevenot said.“While thismaynot be theright timeandrace formepersonally, I remain con-fident that our movementwill ultimately be suc-cessful in restoring morevoting freedom.”

Kasich is still out of fa-vor with tea partiers, andtheir lack of support maythreaten his re-election.But had Stevenot endedup on the primary ballot,Kasich would have beenOhio’s first sitting gover-nor to face a primarythreat since 1978.

At the least, the racehad the potential to dividetheGOPfurtherandforceKasich to spend moremoney on the primary.

UNION TWP. — A Flori-da company with an ex-tensive retail portfoliohas bought the EastgateStation shopping centeracross the street fromJungle Jim’s Interna-tional Market.

PEBB Enterprises ofBoca Raton paid formerowner “168 EastgateLLC” $4.7 million Nov. 26for the just over 15-acresite at 700 Eastgate SouthDrive inUnionTownship,according to the Cler-

mont County auditor’swebsite.

The shopping center isanchored by Michaelsand Muenchen’s Furni-ture-Eastgate and hassome vacancies.

Union Township Ad-ministrator Ken Geissaid he and Cory Wright,planning and zoning di-rector, have been work-ing with PEBB Enter-prises.

“They are a nationalorganization that ownsand maintains a signifi-cant portfolio of retailproperty,” Geis said.

“We are going to workwith the Clermont Coun-ty commissioners on po-tentially supporting acommunityreinvestmentarea (wherein govern-mentsgivepropertyown-ers property tax exemp-tions if the owners reno-vate existing buildings orconstruct new ones) forthat project.

“In exchange for that,the developer has agreedto invest somewhere be-tween $4 million and $12million in that site,” Geissaid.

Geis said the EastgateStation area has been lag-ging behind recent andcontinuing improve-ments to Jungle Jim’s In-ternational Market at4450 Eastgate SouthDrive and that this saleshould result in positivegrowth as early as 2014.

“Really, that is a directresult of what’s occurredacross the street (at Jun-gle Jim’s),” Geis said.

“These folks came infrom Florida and com-mented specificallyabout the actions and theactivities of the board oftrustees toward econom-ic development.”

Trustee Matt Beamersaid it is good to hear thata company wants to de-velop theproperty acrossfrom Jungle Jim’s.

“I kind of thought thatwould come,” Beamersaid. “It’s just a matter oftime.

“I think it bodes wellfor the township and real-ly is exactly what wewanted.

MILFORD — The de-bate rages. Nature ver-sus nurture.

On the nature side,MilfordHighSchool sen-ior basketball forwardTrevor Bullock is 6-foot-9, 200 pounds. Hehas good speed andjumps well. All physicalgifts that can’t be taught.

In the nurture col-umn, he’s the secondchild between a pair ofvolleyball playing sis-ters – 20-year-old Emilyand Milford freshmanSuzy. Inotherwords, he’sused to being in the mid-dle.

Which is where fanslike – and foes dread – tosee him. The middle ofthe Eagles pressure de-fense. It’s the spot fromwhichBullock finds him-self among the EasternCincinnati Conferenceleaders in both rebounds(6.7 per game ) andblocked shots (1.3 pergame).

“If shotsgoup, I’mgo-ing after them,” Bullocksaid. “I try to be smartabout it. I don’t just swat

aroundat things,butI trytomakemypresence felton defense.”

Head coach Joe Cam-bron agreed.

“We’re extending andswitching, and thatkeeps pressure on theball,” he said. “Some-times we’re going to getbeat off the dribble, orsomebody might get abackdoor cut on us, butthey don’t have a goodlook at the basket if theydo. We have kind of asafety valve with Tre-vor.”

The numbers bear outCambron’s point. Mil-ford’s field goals againstaverage is 34 percent onthe season. In a 59-45winoverGlenEste Jan. 3, theTrojans shot 29 percent.

“They credited Tre-

vor with one blockedshot, but I countedthree,” Cambron said.“And that doesn’t countthe number of shots hechanged.Guysdriving inand kicking it out be-cause he’s in there orhaving to fade away in-stead of taking it strong.

“We haven’t shot theball that well ourselves,but we haven’t had to be-cause of our defense.We’re 7-2 right now be-cause we don’t give up alot of points or a lot ofclean looks at the bas-ket.”

“ThewordIuseonCar-rie is ‘warrior,’” McNickcoach Greg Flammersaid. “We depend on herfor so much. She knowshow to get up and downthe floor, how to distrib-ute, how to defend. Shereally makes a lot of gooddecisions for us out there.

“I don’t think you canteach it. She is the samehard-nosed, toughkidwhocame in here as a fresh-

man, only with all the ex-perience to gowith it now.She’s that player I knowcan get the ball where ithas to go.”

Sheshull lives in theEastgate area and playedher grade-school ball St.Veronica in Mt. Carmel.However, she didn’t be-come a point guard untilshe got to McNick.

“Coach just likes how Irun down the floor all thetime,” she said. “I like torun it. I just try to get ev-erybodypumpedup. If it’sgetting an easy basket offa good pass or making asteal and getting a layup,that’s a goodway to do it.”

At 5-foot-9 she is bigfor a point guard, givingher a height edge overmany players trying toguard her. Sheshull readi-ly admits having HannahTaylor - her cousin andde-fending GGCL player ofthe year - running along-side her is another advan-tage she likes to exploit.

“I get a lot of easy as-sists because of her,”Sheshull said.

Flammer said, “Sheand Hannah have played

together so long they arealways in synch, which isa big help to us. Corriemissedacouplegamesforus and you could see howwe struggled without her,all across the board. Ournumbers just aren’t thesamewithout her runningthe show.”

Sheshull also playedsoccer for the Rockets inthe fall. She hopes to at-tend the University ofDayton next year, whereshe may study education.

Looking back, her fa-vorite basketballmemorywas breaking the Ander-sonHighSchool press andscoring the game game-winning basket on a fastbreak with less than twoseconds to play last sea-son. But she’s looking tocreate even better memo-ries to close her career.

“It’s been really fun sofar, but we’ve got more todo,” she said. “Iwant to gofar in the tournament.(Our seniors) have basi-cally all been playing var-sity together since weweresophomores.Wefeellike this is our chance tomake a good run.”

To ponder another side ofthe American Civil Warthrough some unique, localart, go visit the Lloyd Li-brary’s “Wounded Home”exhibit.

Seven artists researchedthe library’s holdings of post-war medical encyclopediasand other sources to explainthe wounds of battle with 12original works.

“The Last Supper CivilWar,” a gripping two-dimen-sional presentation by Cincin-nati artist and UC physicianSaad Ghosn is modeled afterLeonardo da Vinci’s “The LastSupper.” Replacing JesusChrist in the middle positionis an angelic Abraham Lincolnencircled in a halo of righ-teousness.

An array of non-notablewounded figures flank theircommander. Union and Con-

federate flagsadorn theborder of thisphotomontage.T

he tablethat wouldhave other-wise con-tained breadand wine isstrewn withweaponry. The

foreground before Lincolnand his disciples are black andwhite photos of wounded thatlay on the battlefield.

“No war is ever as cleanand simple as its principlesmay seem,” Ghosn says of hisinterpretation of war in gener-al and this conflict in partic-ular.

“Even the Civil War with itsnoble outcome, had a veryhigh cost and could have been

avoided.”He has an additional print

and a three-dimensional pres-entation that speaks to thebloody death toll.

Another artist examines anunconventional wound, theone left by the cotton industrybefore it collided with aboli-tion. With “Ode to Cotton”Celene Hawkins reminds howthe plantation South’s chiefsource of wealth was built onthe backs of slaves.

At first a subtle piece, onlybecause it hangs in the formof a chandelier, it comes tolife when one notices thepainstaking detail the artistforged into it.

“I found that the entirehistoric situation [the antebel-lum cotton economy] was anodd blend of myth and reali-ty,” Hawkins told me, “A smallpopulation benefitting from

the masses of another.”She researched the stats,

specs, and sheer size of theindustry, as well as Victorianlighting fixtures. This one, amix of brass, copper, andbronze, includes in detail theactors of the cotton South: theplant in blown glass that en-cases four lights, the boll wee-vil, and a sacrificed sheep.

Additional pieces bringhome the severity and chal-lenges of wounded life fordoctors, wives, and battlefieldvictims.

Kate Kern has placed im-ages of bullet entrances andexits onto upholstery andfashioned it to a period settee,ala “Our Nation Mourns:Wounded Settee.”

Jenny Fine has drawn skindiseases and replicatedwounds from the era onto heroriginal black and white pho-

tos.The exhibit is thought-

provoking. It avoids the typ-ical historical explanations,battlefield summaries, andinstead elicits concern for thedamage, the post-war strug-gles of survivors and widows.

As much as the armchairhistorian or art aficionadomight know about the CivilWar, most have not delved intothe conflict’s medical toll thatcomes out in these presenta-tions, nor have we consideredat length the personal anguishof the wounded.

Many of the pieces are forsale. The exhibit runs throughJan. 20.

Last week’s questionShould Ohio allow online voter

registration, which would allowfor an immediate cross check of li-cense records andhelpprevent ille-gal voting?Why or why not?

“Of course, Ohio should adoptonline voter registration. Thegreater number of people whocan legally vote, themore our re-public is actually democratic!”

TRog

“Ohio and all the other 49states need to introduce voterregistration systems that ensurethat every person domiciled inthe state over the age of 18 yearsis registered to vote.

“I know of no other so calleddemocracy in the developedworld thatworks so hard tomakeit difficult for the less fortunatemembers of society to register tovote.

“This is clearly unconstitu-tional since ‘All men (and wom-en) are created equal’ except inthe eyes of the Republican partywhich isboundanddeterminedtodisenfranchiseasmanyof thepo-tential opposition aspossible.Ap-parently they concede that theycan’t win the policy argument, sothey just want to stack the deckby rigging the electoral role.

“Given the millions of votescast, electoral fraud, while it ex-ists, is so miniscule that it doesnot affect the outcome of elec-tions, but is used as an excuse forall sorts of laws aimed at limitingvoter registration.”

D.R.

“I think so, and why not. Ev-erything else has gone electronicand states should havemore con-trol over the ancient method ofregistration.”

O.H.R.

“The entire fuss over voterregistration is so stupid I justwish someone would do it rightandwecouldall followthe leader.

“The problem with voter reg-istration requirements is that thepoliticalmotivationdrives the ef-forts tomake it harder to registerandvote ifyouarepoor,whichap-parently the Republicans havedecided means you are Demo-cratic.

“Many poor people, particu-larly in the South, don’t have So-cial Security numbers becausethey were born in remote areaswhich didn’t have adequate pub-lic records.

“Others have been displaced,don’t have the transportationnecessary to get the records theyneed, and so on and so forth.

“This question is about onlineregistration and immediatecross-checks.

“That would be an improve-ment, although Ohio’s registra-tion process is pretty easy com-pared to many other states, andthe manipulation that I’m awareof happens at the vote-countingstage, not the registration or vot-ing stage.”

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via e-mail. Send youranswers [email protected] withChatroom in the subject line by 5 p.m. onThursday.

Aswe grow older we arereminded of the importanceof planning ahead – have afinancial plan, a will, powersof attorney, etc. We are oftennot an informed consumerwhen a crisis of a fall or ill-ness happens. The conse-quences can be great.

We baby boomers love todevelop plans for the seniorsin our lives when dramaticchanges occur. Yet, we are indenial about those samechanges to be considered forourselves. The greatest gener-ation, our parents, could alsobe called the “make do” gen-eration because they adjust totheir circumstances as bestthey can without any changes.

But then a crisis occurs,maybe a fall, disease or hospi-talization, we often do notknowwhat we need but doknowwe need it now because

someone iscoming homefrom the hos-pital tomor-row or in afew days. Theitems neededtomodify thehome environ-ment can besignificantandmay notbe covered byinsurance.

These are not itemswe shopfor everyday.We are not fa-miliar with what options areavailable or what they shouldcost. Our need is immediatefor the loved one and therearemany decisions to bemade in a short period oftime.

Where do we turn? TheNational Association of Ho-mebuilders with assistance

from senior groups has cre-ated special training and adesignation called a certifiedaging in place specialist.These professionals aretrained to assess the homeand recommend alternatives(yes, you do have choices!) toyou and your family aboutways your home can bemod-ified to be a safer place basedon your specific need, theduration of your situation andbudget.

Ohio Senate Bill 177, PetProtection Orders, is anexcellent bill, which notonly protects companionanimals, but also createsanother means of a quick,safe exit from a violenthome for battered womenand their children.

In 2006, Susan Walsh’sriveting, personal testimonyspurred Maine’s legislatureinto enacting the nation’sfirst Pet Protection Orders.Her speech also became thecatalyst for states acrossthe nation to also act.

“It wasn’t just the catsand dogs; it was the sheepand the chickens. I was ter-rified for their welfare. Iknew if I were to leave, hewouldn’t hesitate to killthem. He had done it be-fore.” (New York Times,April, 2006)

Since then, 25 states (plusDC and Puerto Rico) havealso quickly authorized PetProtection Orders. Thespeed at which these stateshave legislated this issue

speaks to thecommonunderstand-ing now ofthe powerful,sometimesdeadly, con-nection be-tween inter-personalviolence andanimal cru-elty.

Why is this law neededfor the companion animalsin homes of domestic vio-lence? There is a growingbody of research that showsthe abusive male often usesa threat to the pet to silenceto children about the vio-lence that is occurring inthe home and to restrain thewoman from leaving thehome.

Animal cruelty is a “redflag,” a sentinel behavior, tolook more closely at whatalso might be happeninginside the house or withinthe community. Often wom-en delay leaving a violent

home in order to protecttheir companion animals.

Other women, after hav-ing left the home, return tokeep the animals safe fromharm. Moreover, many in-stances of animal crueltytake place in front of thechildren or women to elicitfear in them and to maintaincontrol over them.

I strongly encourageOhio residents to call theirstate senators and staterepresentatives today insupport of SB 177, Pet Pro-tection Orders. Act today.

This bill has failed in theOhio General Assemblybefore. Why should a wom-an in Ohio have to choosebetween her own safety andthe safety of her companionanimal?

You can read the bill inits entirety here: http://bit.ly/1aed5am.

JANUARY 8, 2014 • CJN-MMA • B3LIFE

I was flipping throughmy gourmet food maga-zines and two items keptpopping up as “newbies”for 2014. One is the herbfennel, in particularbronze fennel. I had tochuckle since I’ve grownboth green fennel, which

producesa deli-ciousbulb, andalsobronze,which isgrownfor itsleavesandseeds, foryears.

Fennel contains vita-min C and potassium,good for immune andnervous systems, and theheart. In fact, I just fea-tured a fennel/garliccrust on pork roast on mycable show “Love Startsin the Kitchen.” Watch iton TimeWarner localaccess.

The other trend iskale, but not the old-fashioned curly kale likeGrandma grew. Kalevarieties are almost end-less. You’ll find lots ofrecipes, including thetwo I mention in my pizzarecipe. Kale is an easycool crop, so grow somecome spring.

I’d also like to issue aformal invitation for youto share your favoriterecipes and tips alongwith the story that goeswith them. I’m not partic-ular, so whatever you liketo cook, whether it’sfancy, plain or in be-tween is fine by me. Ifyou send along a photo,so much the better!

Whole wheat pizzawith garlic, greensand two cheeses

We grow kale, includ-ing Locinato/Tuscan/Dinoand Russian kale. Bothare milder tasting thancurly kale. Mixing kalewith Swiss chard or spin-ach tones down the tasteof kale. Greens like thesecontain nutrients essen-tial for tissue growth andrepair, and even yourpicky eaters will likethis. You can use just

chard or spinach if youlike.

1 pre-baked 12 oz. Boboliwhole wheat pizza shell

2-3 teaspoons finely mincedgarlic

3-4 tablespoons extra virginolive oil

Pizza sauce to coverEnough small Swiss chardor spinach and kale leavesto cover (or large leaves,chopped)

6-8 oz. Fontina cheese,shredded

3-4 oz. crumbled goatcheese

Optional: Sliced tomatoes,chives

Preheat oven to 450degrees. Stir garlic intoolive oil. Brush overcrust. Top with pizzasauce and greens, over-lapping leaves so entiresurface is covered.Sprinkle with cheeses.Slice cherry or regulartomatoes and lay on top ifyou like. Bake 10 minutesor until cheese melts.

Tips from Rita’skitchen

Substitute Gorgonzolafor goat cheese.

Priscilla Pancoast’sheirloom cornpudding

Wow – talk about lotsof requests for this! Theoriginal recipe camefrom Priscilla’s mother’scousin, who was fromNiles, Ohio. “This almosthas a cult following,” saidPriscilla. Check out myblog for more corn pud-ding recipes, includingthe famous BeaumontInn’s corn pudding, alongwith an old-fashionedversion of this treasuredside dish.

2 eggs1 stick of butter1 packageJiffy corn muffin mix

8 oz. grated cheddar8 oz. sour cream1 can yellow corn with juice,approximately 15 oz.

1 can cream-style corn,approximately 15 oz.

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Melt butter,beat eggs slightly, thenmix everything togetherand put in greased 21/2quart casserole and bakefor about 45 minutes.

Tips from readers’kitchens

Add extra flavor tobox cakes. NancyMauch, a Clermont Coun-ty reader and mom of myformer editor, LisaMauch, shares this tip:For box cakes, substitutemilk or juice for liquidcalled for. “Adds anotherelement of flavor,” Nan-cy said.

Buying blue cheesein bulk. Dave, a loyalreader, said he found afive-pound bag of bluecheese crumbles at GFS(Gordon Food Service)for $19. He made batchesof Nell Wilson’s bluecheese dressing and waslooking for an affordableway to do it.

Tomato preserverecipe a big hit. Lana

Kay, a Northern Ken-tucky reader, made myaunt Margaret’s recipelast summer. “I was sur-prised howmany peoplehad never tasted them,”she said. Lana shared itwith an Amish vendor ata farmer’s market and I

have no doubt it willbecome a big seller. To-mato preserves are an-other trendy, but reallyold-fashioned, condimentthat chefs will be featur-ing this year.

Howdy Folks,On Christmas Eve the

services at the BethelUnited MethodistChurch were at 6 and 11p.m. we attended the 6p.m. service and by 11p.m. there was somesnoring at our house!There was a good atten-dance at these serviceswith communion andcandlelight as we sangSilent Night.

Christmas morningwe went to our daughterDebby’s and Bobby’s forbreakfast along with ourgranddaughters andtheir husbands and ofcourse the most specialone, our great grand-daughter Brooklyn.

Brooklyn was moreinterested in presentsthan in eating breakfast.After breakfast we wentto watch the girls andtheir families open theirgifts. Brooklyn washelping her Mom, Dad,Aunt Michelle and UncleBrad along with openingher own. On Christmasnight our daughter Pau-line, Ralph and Curtisjoined us there at Debbyand Bobby’s again forsupper and opening ourgifts to each other. Ev-eryone got plenty ofgifts and attention.

Saturday evening ourgrandson Ralph and hiswife Kayla and our greatgrandson Ralphie camehere to have Christmaswith us, as they went toher mother’s for Christ-mas. Our great-grandsonreally enjoyed playingwith Chester the kitten.Ralphie would run

throughthe houseand Ches-ter wouldhide andjump upat him.

While Iwas eat-ingbreakfastthe other

day I saw a pileatedwoodpecker in a tree inour neighbor’s woods.They are so beautifuland big. You can tell if itis the big one instead ofa regular woodpecker bythe sound they makepecking.

We went to Walmartto get some itemsMon-day and was talking to ayoung feller that said hewas fishing in East ForkLake last Saturday andhad a new experience.He said he had a line outby a limb with a cork onit and a fish came up andgot the cork and took itdown. He said he liftedthe line up jigging theminnow on the jig andthe fish swallowed thehook. He was surprisedto find that a 12 inchcrappie had swallowedthis jig and had bit andpulled down the cork.This is unusual to hap-pen but strange thingshappen to folks.

I was talking to Mikeat the Boars Head BaitShop in Afton this morn-ing ( New Year’s Eve).He said this is the lastday this year he wasworking and maybe hewould come back towork next year! He said

there were several folksthat went fishing lastSaturday and caughtseveral crappie. But fewwere big ones, it will beinteresting come springfor crappie fishing.

We had a bed of lategreen onions out and thedeer ate the tops off. Iwonder if the meatwould taste like onion.That is the first timethey have done this.

I have been workingin the shop making atripod of bamboo forlima beans this year.They will be three bam-boo six feet long with atop to hold them togeth-er. This will make adandy item for limabeans to grow on andeasy to pick, instead ofletting them grow andlay on the ground.

I have been doing alot of walking each day,the cardiologist said Ineeded to do a lot ofwalking since I had com-pleted rehab so I amdoing this.

This time of the yearthe food supply for thebirds and squirrels is inshort supply so we keepfeed out for all of them.We enjoy watching theactivity of each of them.

Start your week bygoing to the house ofworship of your choiceand praise the GoodLord. God Bless AllMore Later.
