MIAMI TOWNSHIP — Repairsto a section of Wolfpen-Pleas-ant Hill Road that was dam-aged by a mid-March land-slide should be finished inabout a month, ClermontCounty Engineer Pat Mangersaid.
Until then, a 100-foot sec-tion of the 5300 block of theClermont County-main-tained road in Miami Town-ship will remain closed.
The damaged section isjust north of U.S. 50.
“We applied for emergen-cy funding, and we received agrant from the Ohio PublicWorks Commission,” Mangersaid Wednesday.
He added the emergencyfunding from the state willcover 75 percent of the costof the $300,000 project, andthe county will cover the oth-er 25 percent.
Manger said a contractorhas been hired and wasscheduled to start repairingthe damaged road on April 20.
“The type of work we’redoing, the weather is only go-ing to affect us at the veryend when we do the pave,”Manger said. “So unlessthere’s thunder and light-ning, there shouldn’t be aproblem.
“Our goal is to have it backopen within a month from thetime we start.”
On March 14, a caller to theClermont County Communi-
cations Center reported thata sizable chunk of Wolfpen-Pleasant Hill Road had falleninto the creek after heavyrains
At the time of the incident,Miami Township Fire ChiefSteve Kelly described thedamage as a washout aboutfour feet off the side of theroad.
No homes or businesseswere directly affected by theclosure.
The county’s detour of 7.8miles directs drivers to usestate Route 131 and U.S. 50.

STONELICK TOWNSHIP — Itwas only fitting that Model Tcars were the first vehicles tocross Clermont County’s onlycovered bridge on public prop-erty when the reconstructed19th Century span reopened totraffic after a closure of nearlyfive years.
At an April 15 ribbon cuttingand open house, historiansjoined Clermont County politi-cians, local residents and work-ers who helped rebuild the one-lane wooden bridge after its col-lapse 14 months ago.
Afterward, county officialsjoined members of the North-ern Kentucky Model T Club asthe vintage autos led 21st centu-ry vehicles across the historicspan. More than a dozen photog-raphers gathered at both endsof the covered bridge to docu-ment the occasion and to paytribute to a bygone era.
“This bridge connects uswith the past of Clermont Coun-ty,” said Ed Humphrey, presi-dent of the board of the Cler-mont County Commissioners.“We once had 25 coveredbridges. Now we have just one,the Stonelick Williams CornerCovered Bridge.”
Humphrey said it took ateam effort to ensure that the137-year-old wooden structurelisted on the National Registerof Historic Places was restoredas a Howe Truss bridge. Thattype of construction served as amodel for covered bridgesthroughout the U.S. that oncenumbered more than 10,000. By1954, less than 2,000 were left.
“With this restoration, the
bridge will last decades moreand connect us to another centu-ry,” Humphrey said. He and fel-low County Commissioner BobProud were among attendeeswho reminisced about Sundaydrives planned around the cov-ered bridge.
“On a personal note, as a kid,I used to come on this bridge alot,” Proud said. “We’d roll thewindows down and hear thethump, thump, thump, thump,thump.”
Proud referred to the histor-ic span as “the people’s bridge.”He read a proclamation fromOhio Gov. John Kasich and Lt.Gov. Mary Taylor thankingthose who helped preserve the
Buckeye state’s unique heri-tage.
Built in 1878, the StonelickWilliams Corner CoveredBridge was closed to trafficMay 24, 2010, after an over-weight garbage truck ignoredthe weight limit and broke thebridge’s floor beams. Restora-tion began in 2013, but thebridge collapsed during its re-habilitation Feb. 11, 2014.
Rehabbing the structurethat’s on the National Registerof Historic Places cost $975,000,with funding coming from stateand federal sources.
Jon Carpenter, ClermontCounty’s bridge inspector andthe person who supervised the
reconstruction of the coveredbridge, said 57 percent of thebridge’s original timbers weresalvaged.
While preserving historyfactored into the reconstruc-tion, safety was a key factor,said Clermont County EngineerPat Manger.
“We worked closely with thestate historic preservation of-fice to make sure the StonelickWilliams (Corner) CoveredBridge stayed a historic struc-ture,” Manger said. “Our goalwas to complete the project us-ing as many original elementsas possible while ensuring thesafety of travelers across thebridge, and we’ve succeeded in
doing so.”New safety features include
wind bracing, guardrails, light-ing and video surveillance.
With a new weight limit of 8tons, the bridge can now accom-modate a vehicle as large as anambulance but no school buses,Carpenter said.
Clermont County historianRichard Crawford said thecounty once had dozens of cov-ered bridges, but they havegradually disappeared from thelocal landscape.
“In my heart, this bridge isone of the last remnants we’vegot of an era that no longer ex-ists,” he said.

AMELIA — The publichas spoken, and the ownerof the Starlite Drive-inhere listened.
Overwhelming public
support for the ClermontCounty landmark helpedconvince owner DebiBrooks to rebuild thedrive-in’s deterioratingscreen tower. She plans toreopen the popular attrac-tion by Memorial Dayweekend.
In a Facebook post lastmonth, Brooks wrote thatthe weather had not beenkind to “the tired oldscreen tower, Alice,” andshe worried she mighthave to close the Cler-mont County landmarkthat’s entertained genera-tions of moviegoers.
However, after con-sulting with EDG, aNorthern Kentucky dem-olition company, Brooksnow says she plans to re-build the Starlite’s screentower. The structure wasnamed for the wife of itscreator.
Brooks said EDG re-cently removed enough ofthe screen panels to ex-pose Alice’s support tim-bers and show that “wind,snow, heat and long coldwinters have taken theirtoll.”
The current screentower will be demolishedby EDG, she said. A taller,wider, stronger “Alice Su-perwoman 2” made ofsteel will be built in itsplace by Richfield, Ohio-based Selby Products, afamily company that’s
been building drive-inscreen towers throughoutthe U.S. since 1948,Brooks wrote on the Star-lite’s facebook page.
Brooks, a second-gen-eration drive-in theaterowner, thanked the Star-lite’s Facebook friends fortheir “huge outpouring oflove and support.” Shewrote it was that support,along with meetings withengineers, financial ad-visers, an accountant andan attorney, as well as in-put from friends and fam-ily, that helped her decidethe drive-in’s fate. Thedrive-in’s patrons over-whelmingly said that theywanted to see the Starlitecontinue operating,.

We’ve hardly had time to be indoorsthis week.
Between hunting for morel mush-rooms and ramps (we’ve only found onemushroom so far, and that was a falsemorel, not edible, but the ramps/wildleeks are abundant), picking violets forjellies and jams, checking out wildflowers in the woods and getting thegardens plowed and mulched for springplanting, I’m grateful when duskcomes.
But I have to admit, I love this time ofyear.
It brings out my simple creative side,and that means making crystallized flow-ers and leaves.

Garnish a dish with crystallized
flowers and leaves
Crystallized/candied edible flowers and leaves
All parts must be coated both with egg white and granulated sugar sothat they preserve well. If you’re concerned about using raw egg white, buypasteurized eggs. These are beautiful as a garnish for baked goods, icecream, etc. Nothing like the commercial ones which are tumbled in drumsand look like colored nuggets.
Egg whiteGranulated sugar, regular or fine
First, make sure you have “clean” petals and leaves, no toxic spray onthem. They must be dry. Whip egg white until foamy. Whipping allows youto coat petal without weighing it down. Take a small brush and coat petalon both sides very lightly but thoroughly. You can place it on a flat surfaceand coat each side with egg white. Have a small dish or pile of sugar ready.Place flatly on sugar to coat underside and sprinkle top lightly and thor-oughly. Check underside to make sure it’s coated well. Gently shake offexcess sugar. Carefully lay on wire rack to dry. Drying may take several daysor more. They’re ready when you can break off a piece cleanly, without itbending.

Grab and go morning glory muffins
A much loved recipe enjoying a comeback. Supposedly it was a “hip-pie” recipe when the natural food movement began and gave renewedenergy after a night of hard partying. I usually grab one before headingoutside. This is a substantial muffin!

A6 • MILFORD-MIAMI ADVERTISER • APRIL 22, 2015
The winter months havepassed and the signs of springare all around us. This is thetime of year when most collegeand high school students areplanning for summer. One ofthe best ways for young peopleto spend their summer monthsis to invest in their future byparticipating in a summerinternship or co-op program.
For students, a summerinternship or co-op can begreat way to earn some moneyand learn about potential ca-reer opportunities. Internshipsand Co-ops are also a greatway for students to discoverreal-world job prospects byapplying their academic stud-ies toward a temporary workexperience.
Internship and co-op experi-ences are commonly done on atemporary basis in collabora-
tion with anemployer thatcan assignprojects thatenhance thestudents learn-ing experienceand simulta-neously bene-fit the compa-ny or institu-tion that em-ploys them.
For companies, trainingnew full-time employees andproviding salary and benefitsduring the training process canbe a costly undertaking. This isespecially costly if the employ-ee ends up a poor fit for theorganization. Hiring internshipand co-op students can be acost-saving solution that helpsto advance the long-term in-terests of the institution by
hiring one of these students ona temporary basis, allowingthem to demonstrate theirwork-ethic and learn moreabout the company.
Internships and co-ops oftenlead to full-time employmentafter graduation. These oppor-tunities give students a chanceto learn far more than whatcan be taught in the classroom.Internship and co-op programsalso teach important “softskills” like time management,critical thinking, leadership,problem-solving and muchmore. These positions lookgreat on resumes and demon-strate to future employers thata potential hire possesses theprerequisite professional expe-rience necessary for full-timeemployment.
Last year, I joined my col-league, Sen. Bill Beagle, in
supporting Senate Bill 227designating the second Tues-day of April as “Ohio Intern-ship and Co-op AppreciationDay.” The day is intended toraise awareness of the value ofinternships and co-op opportu-nities in Ohio as well as encour-age businesses throughout thestate to offer additional pro-gram opportunities. Theseprograms give employersunique access to untappedtalent without long-term com-mitments.
In Ohio, we have createdmore than 280,000 new privatesector jobs since January 2011and companies are providingnew opportunities every singleday. Taking advantage of theabundant internship and co-opopportunities is a great way togain job skills and experience,often leading to good paying
career opportunities.To learn more about avail-
able internships or to searchfor talented individuals to joinyour company, please visitOhioMeansInternships.com.New internships and co-opsare posted weekly.
As always, if I can ever beof assistance to you, please donot hesitate to contact my of-fice by phone at 614-644-8082,by e-mail at [email protected], or by writing toState Sen. Joe Uecker, 1 CapitolSquare, Columbus, Ohio 43215.

April 24 has been desig-nated Tax Freedom Day for2015.
Tax Freedom Day, calculat-ed by the Tax Foundation, isthe day when the nation as awhole has earned enough mon-ey to pay off its total tax billfor the year. So it may be agood time to review your ownsituation to determine if youcan “free” yourself from someinvestment-related taxes in thefuture.
It isn’t really that difficultto be a tax-conscious investor,as some of the best retirement-savings vehicles have built-intax advantages. For starters,depending on your incomelevel, your contributions to atraditional IRA may be tax-deductible, so the more you putin (up to the maximum of$5,500, or $6,500 if you’re 50 orolder), the lower your annualtaxable income. Plus, yourearnings grow on a tax-de-ferred basis.
If you meet certain incomeguidelines, you may be eligibleto contribute to a Roth IRA.The contribution limits for aRoth IRA are the same as thosefor a traditional IRA, but thetax treatment of your earningsis different. In fact, your Roth
IRA earningscan grow taxfree, providedyou don’t takewithdrawalsbefore 59 1/2and you’ve hadyour accountat least fiveyears. (RothIRA contribu-tions are nottax-deductible,
however.)Even if you have an IRA,
you can probably also partici-pate in your employer-spon-sored retirement plan, such asa 401(k), a 403(b) or a 457(b).You typically contribute “pre-tax” dollars to these types ofretirement plans, so your con-tributions will lower your an-nual taxable income. Plus,you’ll benefit from tax-de-ferred earnings. And employ-er-sponsored plans have muchhigher contribution limits thanan IRA; in 2015, you can put inup to $18,000 to a 401(k) orsimilar plan, or $24,000 if youare 50 or older.
Beyond contributing asmuch as you can afford totax-advantaged retirementplans, how else can you takegreater control of your in-
vestment-related taxes? Onemove is to avoid frequent buy-ing and selling of investmentsheld outside your IRA and401(k). If you sell investmentsthat you’ve held for less thanone year, your profit will betaxed as ordinary income, witha rate as high as 39.6 percent.If you hold investments atleast one year before sellingthem, you’ll just pay the long-term capital gains rate, whichis 15 percent for most taxpay-ers (20 percent for high earn-ers). So, from a tax standpoint,it pays to be a “buy-and-hold”investor.
Taking full advantage ofyour IRA and 401(k) and hold-ing your investments for thelong term aren’t the only tax-smart moves you can make –but they can give you a goodstart on making investing lessof a “taxing” experience.
Edward Jones, its employ-ees and financial advisorscannot provide tax or legaladvice. You should consultyour attorney or qualified taxadvisor regarding your situa-tion.

MILFORD — The Eastern Cincinnati Conference isquickly becoming one of the more hotly contestedraces this baseball season.
As of April 17, it’s a three-team race with Anderson,Glen Este and Milford all vying for the top spot. TheRedskins and Trojans have 4-0 records, while the Ea-gles suffered a setback against Walnut Hills to fall to3-1.
Milford, which shared the ECC title with Andersonlast year, should be in the thick of things for the confer-ence title again this year.
“In our conference, the teams in the top half arepretty tough,” Milford coach Tom Kilgore said. “But,there are teams in the bottom half, like a Walnut Hills,that have one or two good pitchers and they can beatyou to.”
One of the bigger questions on Kilgore’s mind priorto the season was whether his guys who were on theplayoff basketball team would struggle with switchinggears or not.
Brad Hall and Grant Riesenberg, who played on thebasketball team, currently have batting averages of.429 and .364, respectively.
“Those guys struggled a little bit with jumpingright into the scrimmages,” the coach said. “But, Ithink those two weeks where we had rain on and offreally helped them catch up.”
Kane Bateman and Cameron Roth are also battingbetter than .300.
Justin Arnold, another basketball player, is current-ly leading the conference with a miniscule 0.43 ERA.In three appearances, he is 2-0 with 17 strikeouts.
Teammate Michael Cook is second in the confer-ence with a 1.05 ERA.
“Pitching is definitely the cornerstone of our team,”Kilgore said. “We’ve gotten great starts from guys andhad others who pitched in meaningful relief appear-

GOSHEN TWP — . Goshen senior Cody Schock qui-etly had one of the better seasons in the area.
He led the Warriors in scoring, field goal percent-age and shot close to 40 percent from the perimeter.But, his most impressive stat is he led the city inblocks with almost five a game.
“He had a nice year,” Goshen coach Scott Wakesaid. “He was first-team all-Southern Buckeye Ath-letic and Academic Conference and was an all-dis-trict selection.”
Schock also played in the city’s East-West all-stargame April 10 at St. Bernard.
He played with guys like Clark Montessori’s KevinLewis, Shroder’s Jalen Avery, Georgetown’s JakeCropper and Jake Miller and Miami Valley ChristianAcademy’s Malique Ward.
Those players typically fill stat sheets for their re-spective teams, a style that suits an all-star gameatmosphere.
Conversely, Schock isn’t that type of player. Wakesaid he’s the player who will do whatever the teamneeds from him in that moment.
“Time and again, he was the kid we needed to haveon the court,” the coach said.
Schock was also selected to participate in thestate’s North-South game that took place April 19 inColumbus.
Wake said it’s a feather in Cody’s cap to know hecan compete with the best the city and state have tooffer.

series this week so a cou-ple wins would go a longway in helping the Ea-gles’ cause.
Kilgore not only ex-pects the conference tostay congested the rest ofthe season, he anticipates
his team will stay in thehunt for its third consec-utive conference title.
Right now though, theseason is little more thana third of the way com-plete and there is stillplenty to be sorted

KENWOOD — Like anyMoeller High School Cru-sader, he proudly spoutsoff his number and givesyou a quick synopsis of hisaccolades in blue andgold.
Steve Kuhlman woreNo. 14 for Moeller’s rugbyteam that won the 2010state championship. Hewas a winger for coachDoug Rosfeld, who left hisalma mater in Februaryfor a football job with hiscollege alma mater, theUniversity of Cincinnati.
When Rosfeld, the foot-ball offensive line coach,started the program in
2009 with the help of ad-ministrator Kim Hauck,the Crusaders finishedfifth in the state. They fol-lowed with the Division ti-tle the next year, thenwere state runners-up in2011.
Five years after run-ning the fields with theodd-shaped ball, Kuhlmanis in his first year direct-ing the young men whonow attempt to progress itforward. When he played,Moeller squared off withstate opponents like Lake-wood St. Edward, Parmaand Akron Copley.
The Division I boysgroup now consists ofBrunswick, Hudson, St.Edward, St. Ignatius and
Strongsville from thenorth, and Moeller’sgrouping of Hilliard, La-kota, New Albany, Picke-rington and St. Xavier.
On April 12, the Cru-saders were blessed witha nice, spring day andnotched a shutout againstPickerington, 31-0. ThePickerington squad was acombination of playersfrom the North, South andCentral high schools inthat area.
“We have a way to go,”Kuhlman said after the ef-fort. “We have the talent.We just have to get themplaying right and we’ll begood to go.”
The luxury of athleticdepth at Moeller allows
them to have such offer-ings as rugby and even aco-ed club Frisbee squad(with Mount Notre Dame)that played adjacent toKuhlman’s Crusaders. Anestimated three-fourthsof Moeller’s student bodyis involved in athletics.
“We have a few soccerplayers, a decent amountof football players andwrestlers as well,” Kuhl-man said. “Those are themain draws. We also havea few guys that only playrugby.”
The game can be con-fusing if you haven’t beenawake in the wee hoursscanning various sportschannels. The ball is run,lateraled, punted and
place-kicked. There istackling, jersey-pullingand blocking; all withvery little, if any, padding.
Moeller’s first twogames were called due tosnow. As of presstime,they were 3-2. Ahead is arematch with New Albany
April 26 and contests withLouisville St. Xavier andthe local St. X Bombers.
The “CrosstownScrumdown” is May 8 atSt. Xavier, where theBombers are still Moell-er’s big game.

I LOVED OUR FAMILY HOMEbut there was a lot of stress and expense that went along with it. Living there alone was no longer worth the trouble. Making this move wasn’t an easy choice but now I only wish I’d done it sooner. Now I can enjoy living with my friends and experiencing life again!
