qualified to take over astreasurer when Bob Trueretires at the end of histerm because I am theonly candidate with overeight years’ experienceworking in the Treasur-er’s Office on a daily basis.I know first-hand what theoffice needs, what worksand what does not work.

Ward: A “fresh set ofeyes,” and no allegiance toany current office holder.After 28 years in office,the current office holderwants to pick his succes-sor. It kind of goes back tothe previous question ofwhy I am running. I comefrom the private sectorand really the same rulesapply, except instead ofthe stockholder, my dutyis to the taxpayer, and thesame business goal ap-plies, make them more

money or save them mon-ey.

As taken verbatimfrom the Treasurers web-site, “the treasurer’s of-fice acts much like abank.” My unique skill setI believe is tailor made forthe treasurer’s office. Ihave over 20 years experi-ence in the finance/bank-ing industry. I haveworked for the big bank,Banc One Corporation,Banc One Mortgage Cor-poration and the smallbank experience, Ander-son Bank.

The treasurer’s officealso states that “the Trea-surer is the chief invest-ment officer for the coun-ty.” Now working alongwith two county commis-sioners and the contract-ed Investment Firmmakes up the County’s In-vestment Advisory Com-mittee.

I have worked for BancOne Investment Corp. andBanc One Insurance Corp.Upon the sale of our bankin 2007, I opened my ownbusiness and worked as anInvestment Advisor Rep-resentative with the bro-ker dealers of GreatAmerican Advisors andLincoln Investment Cor-poration.

The treasurer’s officehas $110 million in invest-ments. Although limitedin scope with what theymay invest in, and with themost recent economicdownturn, I would thinkthe county residentswould want to have a pro-fessional with a trainedeye, to review and inspectthe fiduciary’s (invest-ment company) role. It’snot only the performanceof the investments, but theexpense that the County isbeing charged for theiradvice. But just as impor-tantly, as with any eco-nomic climate, change is

coming. I believe youwould want someone al-ready trained to questionyet understand the ramifi-cations of what a changinginterest rate environmentwill have on the county’sinvestment portfolio.

What is the key issuefor the county with re-gards to this race?

Zurmehly: I feel thekey issue is experience.The voters have an oppor-tunity to elect someonewho has the experienceworking in the office andwill not require a learningcurve upon taking office.Business will continue onsmoothly and uninter-rupted after Mr. True re-tires.

Ward: Experience, I amnot backed by the currenttreasurer, the currentdeputy treasurer, or anynumber of other electedofficials, who already holdoffice or have held officefor a number of years. TheClermont County Republi-can Party deemed my can-didacy as “well qualified.”No other candidate re-ceived that distinction. Ido not come from a bluebloodline of people whohave run for office. I hon-estly believe the countywould be best served bysomeone trained in thefield of finance and secu-rities. It’s one thing to sayyou worked in the depart-ment collecting delin-quent real estate taxes,when the brunt of thework is done by attorneys.It is another thing to actu-ally sit across the deskworking with a companywho is advising you andyou are ultimately respon-sible for making those de-cisions for the bettermentof the citizens of ClermontCounty.

What is one thing youhope to accomplish ifelected?

Zurmehly: I hope to re-duce the mobile home de-linquency. I also hope to beable to offer customersthe ability to pay by creditor debit card in the office.

Ward: I would like to bea person who would openthe door for more peoplefrom the private sector tobecome public servants.My thoughts do your timethen get out of the way andallow someone else to stepin. Change is a good thing.New thoughts, new waysof accomplishing tasks athand only benefits thecounty and its citizens. It’sa win-win. Right now wehave people who havebeen in their respectivepositions for far too long. Ithink in general our gov-ernment is very wasteful,competition althoughhard to deal with some-times keeps you lean andmean. It makes you lookfor new ways to innovate.It makes you choose wise-ly. Waste not, want not.Nothing becomes stale.

Why should voterschoose you in the pri-mary?

Zurmehly: I am dedi-cated, hard-working andhonest. I will be a full-timetreasurer, in the office ona daily basis working withmy staff and I will be ac-cessible to taxpayers.

Ward: Again, I will de-fer to my recent com-ments, experience, expe-rience, experience. Fromthe moment I graduatedwith my bachelor’s inbusiness administration, Ihave worked in manage-ment. Sales, expenses,profit and loss, have beenmy life. I know that I bringenthusiasm for what I doand the necessary experi-ence that would benefitthe citizens and taxpayersof Clermont County astheir new treasurer.

Do you snore or know someone whodoes? You are not alone. An estimated 40million Americans snore. But while snor-ing can be disruptive, it is often a symp-tom of a life-threatening medical con-dition called Obstructive Sleep Apnea,where the airway collapses during sleep,causing the person to stop breathing andawaken with a gasp multiple times perhour. Untreated, sleep apnea can lead toexcessive fatigue, high blood pressure,heart disease, diabetes, and even death.

At Cincinnati Dental Sleep Medicine,Dr. Kitzmiller and his team focus on thetreatment of snoring and sleep apnea.For Dr. Kitzmiller, it’s not just part of hispractice, it’s personal. As a sleep apneasufferer, Dr. Kitzmiller knows firsthandthe effects of untreated snoring andsleep apnea. “I used to think that mysnoring was harmless, until my wife Loriwould complain to me that she barelyslept due to my snoring and that when Istopped breathing it really scared her.”After his sleep apnea diagnosis in 2007and his inability to tolerate a CPAP ma-chine, Dr. Kitzmiller underwent exten-sive sleep medicine training to uniquelyqualify to treat not only himself, butnow over a thousand Cincinnati-areasufferers with Oral Appliance Therapy.An oral appliance is an FDA-approved,custom-fabricated, CPAP alternativedevice that is worn over the teeth whilesleeping. The appliance, similar in size toa whitening tray, holds the lower jaw justslightly forward, preventing the collapseof the airway.

Every year in March, Dr. Kitzmillerreaches out to the community to createincreased awareness of the dangers ofsnoring and sleep apnea, during NationalSleep Awareness Week. The annualawareness campaign begins on March 6and ends on March 13, the beginning ofDaylight Saving Time, when we all turnour clocks forward and “spring ahead.”

Like a rose among thethorns, Loveland’s Jef-fery Bailey and his caninefriend Bella find a perfectFebruary day for someoutdoor fun.

The two packed uptheir fishing poles andtook a trip to Miami Mead-

ows Park in early Febru-ary. The temperaturesmade it up to the 50s andthe lake was oddly icefree.

FEBRUARY 24, 2016 • CJN-MMA • 7ANEWS

Oh my gosh, I’m not sure how toeven start this column since the reci-pes are a bit weird. So I’ll just goahead and say it. Today’s recipes veeroff from the norm in that they crackthe ceiling when it comes to speed

scratch foods. Thatmeans they both usepackage ingredientsand neither is fromscratch and neither is,well, probably thehealthiest thing youcould serve. I almostfeel like I should apolo-gize, but I won’t.

Why? Both the 7-cansoup and the Mississip-pi pot roast are so pop-

ular they’ve gone viral. And get this:both have been around a very longtime.

Credit social media for a resur-gence of interest, so much so that theNew York Times published an articleon the roast.

Ree Drummond, from “The Pio-neer Woman Cooks,” made the soupon her TV show to rave reviews. So ifthese recipes are good enough for theNew York Times and a celebrity cook,they’re good enough for us Tristatefolks! It’s fun once in a while to sharefunky, fun recipes like these.

Tip from Rita’s kitchenYou can use salt free beans, corn

and tomatoes.

Mississippi pot roast fromscratch

I found a really good one that, yes,takes more time and more ingredi-ents. But for the purists among us, it’sa nice recipe and delicious, as well.Check out my abouteating.com sitefor this recipe.

Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herb-alist, educator, Jungle Jim’s Eastgateculinary professional and author. Findher blog online at Abouteating.com.Email her [email protected] with “Ri-ta’s kitchen” in the subject line.

7- or 8-Can soup

The original recipe is called “7 can soup,” but I added an extra can of corn. I chuckled the wholetime I made this. I served it with cilantro and a sprinkling of cayenne. Next time, I’ll add a dollop of sourcream.

1 can meat-only chili (I used Hormel)1 can, 15 oz. each, undrained, of:Corn - but I used 2 cans Fiesta type cornKidney beansPinto beansBlack beansDiced tomatoes1 can, 10 oz. Rotel or tomatoes with green chilies8 oz. Velveeta, regular, Mexican or your choice, cubed (could use a bit less or sub shredded

cheddar or Mexican blend)Ground cayenne pepper (opt)

Empty all except cheese and cayenne, into pan over high heat. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmerfor about 20 minutes to meld flavors. Stir cheese into soup until it melts. Add cayenne or salt and pepperto taste.

Slow cookerMississippi pot roast

The combo of the herbs inthe ranch dressing and thesavory elements of the gravymix make for a lip-smackin’dish. And guess what? I’venever used dry gravy mix. So I’ma newbie to it. How aboutthat?!

Way back when, this wascalled Italian pot roast since itused pepperoncini, those spicypickled Italian peppers. Appar-ently, the recipe has southernroots, hence the name Mis-sissippi pot roast.

First, check your butcherto see if they carry tri-tip, assome may not. I talked withBob Chaulk, butcher at JungleJim’s Eastgate, who told methey carry tri-tips along withPicanas, a similar roast from thetop of the sirloin. Tri-tip, part ofthe bottom sirloin sub-primalcut, is easily recognized by itstriangle shape. I’m thinkingthat a chuck roast would workbut since I haven’t tried it, I’llleave that up to you. If you douse chuck, trim it, and if it turnsout fabulous, let us know.

4 pound tri tip roast1 pkg. Au jus gravy mix1 pkg. Hidden Valley ranch

salad dressing1 stick butter - yes, a whole

stick2 whole fresh banana

peppers

Place the roast in sprayedcrock pot. Sprinkle Au jus anddressing packets over. Place onestick of butter on top of theroast and add peppers. Don’tadd any water.

Cook on low 6-8 hours.Remove peppers at end ofcooking time.

Serve over noodles, rice ormashed potatoes.

A publication of

Feb. 17 questionWhich Cincinnati team is most

likely to win a championship next-Bengals, Cyclones, Reds, UC foot-ball, UC basketball or Xavier bas-ketball? Why?

“I’d say Xavier basketball,but winning the NCAA tourna-ment first time in the Final 4 is astretch. So...have to go with theBengals because they have bestshot with potential repeat asAFC North champions in 2016,not predicting a (Super Bowl)championship though.”

C.G.

“In 2015 The Bengals lost inovertime with their secondstring QB to the Super Bowlchampion Denver Broncos.Had this game been at homewith Andy Dalton starting theresult may have been different.I have to feel the Bengals arecloser to a championship duethe more even playing field ofthe NFL (salary cap etc...). XUhas Final Four basketball poten-tial this year and the Cyclonesare often in the mix. The Redsare regressing while UC isstuck unless they can get into aPower 5 conference. With theexception of the Cyclones’ Kel-ly Cups, the championship cup-board has been bare since the1990 Reds World Series sweep.”

T.D.T.

“I have no idea which Cincin-nati area team will win a cham-pionship, but I do know whichone has no chance at all – theBengals. As long as the currentcoach remains in place and heand ownership continue to allow

the world-class-embarrassingantics the entire nation wit-nessed in the most recent play-off game, the Bengals don't de-serve to win anything otherthan last place. I am first and al-ways a Lions fan, but I now livein Cincinnati and I so want tosupport and be proud of theBengals, but this team, thiscoach and especially this ownerhave not earned my respect normy pride. Nice job boys.”

M.J.F.

“Xavier basketball is mostlikely to win the next champion-ship because currently theyhave the right mix of playersand a head coach that knowshow to achieve success withthose players. The Reds are in along process of rebuilding andthe Bengals, basketball Bear-cats have underachievingteams with mediocre headcoaches. UC football just sim-ply cannot compete with thePower 5 conferences.”

Big shoes to fill After 28 years as Clermont

County treasurer, J. RobertTrue will step down next year.He will be remembered not onlyfor his sharp wit and quickmind, but for making his officeone of the most efficiently-man-aged county offices in Ohio.

During Mr. True’s tenure, thedelinquency rate on real estatetax bills in Clermont County hasbeen reduced below 2 percent,resulting in one of the best col-lection rates in the state. This isof utmost importance for our lo-cal school districts and theagencies which rely on tax set-tlements to continue to operate.

For those of you who will bevoting in the Republican pri-mary election on March 15,please consider a candidate forcounty treasurer who has boththe on-the-job experience andmoral integrity to keep this of-fice on top – Jeannie Zurmehly.

Over the past three years Ihad the privilege of workingwith Mrs. Zurmehly. She servesas supervisor of the delinquenttax department, but she also hasexperience in every phase ofthe operation of the Treasurer’sOffice. I know her to be a hardworker, detail oriented, loyal toher boss and co-workers, andpossessed of the integrity andintelligence to serve ClermontCounty as a top notch treasurer.Bob True’s shoes will be diffi-cult to fill. Jeannie Zurmehly isthe best choice to continue hisexcellent legacy.

checked out, someone had com-promised my credit card and itwas canceled. I didn’t knowwhat to do as my order wasmore than $100.

A lovely blonde lady in linecame over and swiped her cardand said “Happy New Year.”She paid my whole bill and re-fused to give me her name ornumber. She just said, “I want todo this for you.” I almost cried.There is so much of the darkside in our world today, so thankyou, precious person, whoeveryou are. You are in my prayers.

I would like for Mr. McClana-han to tell me how this areacame to be hundreds and thou-sands of years ago (“Cincinnati,together let’s act on climatechange,” Feb. 17 Milford-MiamiAdvertiser and North ClermontCommunity Journal).

Historians have told us thisarea once was covered by gla-ciers and that’s what caused theundulations and hilly areas wehave today when they movedand melted at different timesand speeds long before man-kind inhabited this part of earth.Long before man began usingfossil fuels. Please, Mr. McCla-nahan, tell me what causedthose glaciers to melt away. Noman-made carbon dioxide.

Please enlighten the ones ofus that don’t believe humans arecausing any warming that na-ture has changed the climatefor hundreds, even thousands ofyears before man inhabitedearth.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Not to be outdone by theirpotential Democrat presi-dential rivals in terms ofpolitically correct but delu-sional policy positions, threeof the Republican candidatesin the debate Feb. 6 precedingthe New Hampshire primarysaid they would support man-datory registration for wom-en with the Selective ServiceSystem now that women areallowed combat assignmentsin the U.S. military.

Sen. Marco Rubio: “I haveno problem whatsoever withpeople of either gender serv-ing in combat. I do believethat Selective Service shouldbe opened up for both menand women in case a draft isever instituted.”

Former Gov. Jeb Bush: “Ifwomen can meet the mini-mum requirements for com-bat service, they ought tohave the right to do it. Forsure.”

Gov. Chris Christie:“There’s no reason why youngwomen should be discrimi-nated against from regis-tering for the Selective Ser-vice. That’s what we shouldaspire to for all the women inour country.”

A fourth debater, Sen. TedCruz, while not able to answerwhile on stage, disagreed,unloading on his Republicanrivals the next day: “I have toadmit, as I was sitting theirlistening to that conversation,my reaction was, ‘Are you

guys nuts?’We have hadenough withpolitical cor-rectness,especially inthe military.The idea thatwe woulddraft ourdaughters, toforcibly bringthem into the

military and put them in closecombat, I think is wrong, it isimmoral, and if I am presi-dent, we ain’t doing it.”

The U.S. Marine Corps,which should know, agreeswith Cruz.

While all four Republicancandidates have female chil-dren, only Bush’s are too oldto be considered for a futuredraft. None of the four arethemselves military veterans.

While undoubtedly thereare women who would choosecombat roles who could qual-ify by passing the military’sreadiness standards, the sim-ple fact is that such womenare few and far-between. It isthe same reason that we don’tfind female players in theNFL, the NBA, the NHL, andthe pro baseball big leagues.

While professional sportscan be brutal at times, ath-letes perform for only a cou-ple of hours before goingback to plush hotel rooms. Ifthey are injured on the play-ing field, doctors are on hand

and hospitals are minutesaway. Some fans even elevateplayers to “hero” status.

Any combat soldier canfind himself or herself fordays or weeks mired in inhos-pitable terrain, facingswamps, snakes, scorpionsand live fire. Real medicalhelp is not always immedi-ately available. One’s buddiesare his or her only support.Combat is brutal, terrorizingand traumatic. Soldiers, fight-ing for our liberty and safetyas Americans, truly are theheroic ones.

Some say that a draft willnever be re-instituted, thatthe modern military can con-tinue as an all-volunteerforce.

If so, then why not abolishthe Selective Service? Thatway, a charge of unfair “dis-crimination” against womencannot be levied.

However, rarely is anyunneeded government pro-gram abolished, especiallywith the calls for “nationalservice” by the Obama Ad-ministration and by some inCongress.

If Selective Service re-mains, agenda-driven ideo-logues eventually will forceyour daughters and grand-daughters onto the battlefieldwhere, by nature, they are“unequal.” And they will bethe ones that suffer.

Wraparound is an inten-sive, holistic method of en-gaging with individuals withcomplex needs (most typical-ly children, youth, and theirfamilies) so that they can livein their homes and communi-ties and realize their hopesand dreams.

When you think aboutwhat all human beings needto be successful, it startswith basic needs such asfood, water and shelter aswell as physical and emotion-al health.

The Wraparound processis unique in that it plansaround a person’s “hole in theheart” needs. Unlike othersocial service supports, fam-ily, friends, and communitysupports are included in theprocess along with the pro-fessional providers. Parentsare offered Peer SupportPartners, other parents whohave been there and done it.Their Peer Support Partner’srole is to assist a parent infinding their voice, using itappropriately, and helpingthe parent navigate systemsand access resources.

Genuine partnershipswith families are formed.Families decide who needs tobe on their team in this proc-ess, people who they believeare invested in supportingtheir vision. With multipleperspectives at the table, oneplan is created versus many

plans thatcan workagainst eachother. Thevoice of thefamily andyouth guidethis processwith the pur-pose of em-poweringfamilies tofeel hopeful

and confident they can coor-dinate their own care andaccess the resources andsupports needed to maketheir life vision a reality –this is how success in Wrap-around is defined.

The Wraparound model isbased on 10 principles andmoves through distinctphases. Crisis and safety arealways the priority. It is im-possible for families andteam members to planaround holistic needs whenpeople are living in fear and/or chaos. A Wraparoundfacilitator is the “tour guide”for the family and Wrap-around team until they tran-sition out of the formal proc-ess. Research has shown theunique value base Wrap-around has and Wraparoundcontinues to produce positiveoutcomes for families. Youthare more successful inschool, juvenile delinquencyis reduced, the number ofchildren being placed out of

their homes is lower, andparents are empowered,hopeful and confident.

Wraparound believesfamilies are doing the bestthey can because peopledon’t fail, plans fail. Planningis focused on strengths in-stead of deficits. A persistentcommitment to families be-ing successful is promoted.In the book, “All Kids areOur Kids,” Peter L. Bensonwrites, “It’s one thing to say‘All kids are our kids’ andquite another to get 8 millionchildren and youths the sup-port they need to live andthrive in their homes andcommunities.”

Wraparound is availableto Clermont County resi-dents, serves youth ages 3-21who have multiple needsand/or are involved in mul-tiple systems. For example, achild may be involved intherapy and juvenile proba-tion. Referrals can bedropped off, faxed, emailedor taken over the phone. Ifyou want to discuss a case todetermine if it is appropriatefor Wraparound, please callFamily & Children First at732-5400.

HYDE PARK - Goshengirls basketball coach Bran-don Baker said he expectedthe Feb. 16 game against In-dian Hill to be “a dogfight”and one with an uptempo,guard-oriented pace.

He also said, “It’s going tocome down to which teamcan take the other out ofwhat they do best.”

While that might havebeen true, the result willovershadow any nuance.The Braves beat the buzzerto win 39-37, eliminating Go-shen from the postseason.

After Warrior freshmanguard Paige Garr tied it with15 seconds left, Indian Hillraced down the floor and setup its final possession. Afteran initial shot went up andbounced off the rim, the ballfound the hands of Saman-tha Arington, who got theput-back to go before the fi-nal horn.

“They’re a good team andthey made plays,” Bakersaid. “I was really proud ofPaige. She made a tough playto put the ball in (the basket)in a tough situation. That’s afreshman out there makinga play in a state tournamentgame.”

Even though it was in aloss in the state tournament,Baker said being in a gamethat comes down to the wire,that matters that much canbe a galvanizing experience.

He added that most of thegirls on the team hadn’t hadthis type of experience be-fore.

“Win or lose, that’s an ex-perience that makes yourteam better,” he said. “Some-times, a loss like that canbring people together and beeven better for your team inthe future. When they thinkback about this game,they’re going to rememberthe buzzer-beater and the

loss. They also need to re-member the fact theywere down six with twominutes to go and theyfought and clawed back toget that thing tied with 15seconds left.”

Speaking of the future,it does look pretty goodfor the Warriors. Only onesenior, Kelsey Jeandre-vin, is leaving.

The coach said there isplenty the team can buildon for next year. He noted,in particular, the perfor-mances of Olivia Taulbeeand Shawna Shinkle.

He said Taulbee, whohad had trouble deliver-ing in some bigger gamesearlier in the season,stepped up and playedreally well against a greatdefender (Ellie Schaub).

As for Shinkle, sheemerged from her set roleand made plays aroundthe basket.

“She made some goodpasses and attacked fromthe elbow, which wassomething she hasn’t nor-mally done for us,” hesaid.

Because they haveemerged from a middle-of-the-pack team to theSouthern Buckeye Athlet-ic and Academic Confer-ence American Division’s

reigning champion, otherteams are acutely awareof how talented this War-rior team is.

Going forward, Bakersaid his bunch will adjustto having that target on itsback.

“After we wentthrough the first half ofthe conference at 5-0, weknew the second time weplayed them, they werecircling us on the sched-ule,” he said. “We talkedabout that a lot, how wewere going to see the bestversion of every team inour conference. The girlshandled it well.

“We’re really excitedfor next year.”

BEAVERCREEK - McNicholas fin-ished in sixth place at the Division IIbowling sectional Feb. 12 at ColerainBowl, which was good enough to ad-vance to districts.

Coach Brian Combs said that was anaccomplishment in and of itself.

However, he still pines for the daywhen he can take bowlers to state.

It didn’t pan out for the Rocketsagain this year.

At the Division II sectional tourna-ment Feb. 18 at Beaver-Vu lanes in Bea-vercreek, the Rockets finished 14throlled a team total of 3,499.

“For some reason, the schools fromthe southeastern part of the state, theDayton area and Wilmington havesome really good teams and they seemto always get the spots,” Combs said.“That’s what makes this district sotough. They must start them in first

grade or something.”Senior Charlie Phillips led the Rock-

ets with a 549 series during sectionals.This time it was fellow senior Adam Ra-mey’s turn. He led the team with a 596series.

“For the last month, Adam Rameyhas been amazing,” the coach said.

“We had a couple big games … butthey weren’t consistent enough to qual-ify for one of those top spots to go tostate.”

Putting a bow on the season, Combssaid the Rockets accomplished so muchthe program hadn’t done.

A bunch of seniors got to compete inthe district meet for only the secondtime and senior Matthew Massie will benear the top of the GCL-Coed in aver-age, if not the top bowler.

“We had three guys, two of themsophomores, who did really well,” thecoach said.

“Hopefully, we can keep buildingand get back here next year.”

Then put a scoopof bird seed on the drive-way. I counted threecrows, four squirrels andabout 50 birds feeding.The wild turkey came inthat afternoon and when Igot up during the nightthere were a couple deereating the grain on theground.

The deer are feedingon the Yucca plant. Theseed catalog says theYucca plant is deer proof,but the deer have not readthe book. Each winterthey eat this plant.

large bunch of folks forthe noon meal. That isgood! The church and thecrew from the Kitchen ofHope would like to thankthe Bread of Life Ministryfor all the baked goodsthey give for the meal. Itis so good that the churchand the folks that workthe Kitchen of Hope canserve the Lord by havinga good meal for folks.

The bread that theBread of Life Ministrygives the church eachweek sure gives folkssomething to eat duringthe week so they are notgoing hungry. The BataviaMethodist Church have ameal on the third Sat-urday of each month.They are doing the Lordswork. The folks that pre-pare the meal sure do agood job. That shows thepeople that they are serv-ing the Lord.

Was talking to Mike atthe Boars Head Bait Shopin Afton. He said therewere a few folks fishingover the weekend andwere catching some crap-pie. There were a couplefellows that went saugerfishing in the Ohio Riverand we’re catching somenice sauger. They have a

secret place they go to -don’t ask them where theplace is.

There are severalplaces that serve food onFriday evenings - the oneclose to me is the Catholicchurch here in Bethel.They sure have somegood food and serve youat your table. They startserving at 4:30 p.m. and goto 7:30 p.m. Go and eat -that is the Lord’s work.

As I write this I didn’thave the time the churchserved food at the Catho-lic Church so I called mybuddy Dan to get the time.So in the talk we decidedto go to Pocci’s for lunch.If you want a good mealthat is the place to go. Thefolks there sure make youfeel like you are part ofthe family. I got to takemy granddaughter andgreat-granddaughterthere for lunch last Fri-day. There are a fewplaces that you can gethome-cooked meals likethe Blue Haven restau-rant in Bethel was - one ofthe places before theyclosed. By the time youread this the Bethel LionsClub Pancake Breakfastwill be over - it was Feb.20. There will be anotherone in April. I will writeabout the date. .

Start your week bygoing to the house of wor-ship of your choice andpraising the good Lord.

God bless all...Morelater.
