Don Osborn e does so manythings for his neighbors on Lo-cust Drive in Milford that ittook six families to nominatehim for a “Neighbors WhoCare” nod.

“Locust Drive is a cul-de-sacoff state Route 131, located justa few blocks from Milford HighSchool,’’ said Stephanie Lay-bourne, who, along with herhusband Bruce, was a neighborof Osborne’s for nearly 30 yearsbefore moving recently to An-derson Township.

“The street has 12 houses onit, and over the years Don haslikely helped every neighbor onthat street,” Stephanie Lay-bourne said.

“He’s always given freely ofhis time, talents, energy, andoccasionally, money.”

Joining the Laybournes innominating Osborne for recog-nition were the families of Har-ry and Mary Dunham , JoannFairbank s, Susan Michels , LeeRiley and Burt and Amy Stine.

Osborne, 71, is a retired pipecoverer for an insulating com-pany.

“You just get up every morn-ing and if you see someonestruggling with their car hoodup, you try to give them somehelp,” Osborne said.

“You try to make their daybetter.

“And I think you feel betterwhen you help someone elsefeel better,” Osborne said.

Stephanie Laybourne saidOsborne does far more thanscout the street for neighborswith car problems.

“He will do anything he canto help anyone in any way at anytime,” Laybourne said, tickingoff a list of Osborne’s kindness-es:

» “He shovels people’s snowas he has a snow blower.”

» “He mows or rakes peo-ple’s yards when they aren’t upfor it.”

» “He took an elderly ladyout to lunch several times

weekly before she passed andtook care of her yard after shewas widowed.”

» “He has, on occasion, lentmoney to those who needed it atthe time.”

» “He shares his many gar-den perennials, and even plantsthem for you.”

» “He gets dents out of peo-ple’s cars.”

» “He helps neighbor painttheir car to spruce it up.”

» “He helped the street so-cial worker get a used stove for

a poor family and that helpedout tremendously.”

» “He helped one neighborget creek rock, then helped herbuild a rock wall to boot.”

Said Laybourne, “There areso many instances of Don’skindnesses.

“I’ve only touched on a few. “He is truly one of the nicest

neighbors you’d ever meet,”Laybourne said.

We received almost 200 nominations from readers of our 16 Ohiopapers. We have picked some of the best .

You nominated these Neighbors Who Care:

LORI TOLES, MILFORDNominated by Darlene Bugajski“Lori has been a blessing to our street formany years. She can read a situation quick-ly, and always knows exactly how to lend ahand. She knows when to call or text anuplifting message, offer to pick up one ofour kids across town, or run over to some-one’s house to let a fur-kid out within amoments notice. Many kids call her ‘Mom-ma Toles’ and the rest of us, call her a‘Great neighbor and friend.’

VICTOR WOJCIK, MILFORDNominated by Cindy Murphy“During the recent snowstorm in Novem-ber, a large branch from our huge pear treein the front yard came down, shattering mylamppost light and blocking my frontwalkway. Victor kindly offered to saw thelimb from the tree and cut the large branchinto manageable-sized pieces for easierremoval. He spent several hours in the coldweather doing this.“This incident was not the first time he hasoffered assistance. Last year, his familyoffered to me an old wheelchair ramp thatthey were no longer using. Victor helped toput that large and heavy ramp in placefrom our deck, allowing our aging Lab toget down to the backyard, as she was nolonger able to get down the deck steps. Onseveral occasions he has offered to cut thegrass in our large backyard with his ridingmower.”

BOB SPREEN, GOSHEN TOWNSHIPNominated by Carolyn Wolbers“No matter how cold it is, he is “Johnny onthe spot” every time we have a snow fall,not only cleaning our drive, but also severalother neighbors’ drives in the neighbor-hood. And will never accept anything forthis wonderful deed.”

HOWARD FAULKNER, SHIRLEYPONSHOT, SHIRLEY RITTER, RONAND HILDA HARRISON, BUTCHMOORMAN, ARNELDA AND CECILTHORNTON, MILFORD/MIAMITOWNSHIPFor the past five years, the Seniors from thecommunity meet every Tuesday morningfor friendship, camaraderie, bingo and just

a plain old good time. They are not an‘organization,’ they call themselves ‘Tues-day Morning Seniors,’ and are fromaround the Milford/Miami Township area,and even farther away, that meet to enjoyeach other’s company.“They have 40-plus seniors each week whocount on this camaraderie. Every week,this special group of volunteers make surethe hall is set up, the coffee is made andthe donuts are picked up. All they ask thateach senior to donate $1 that goes to-wards the coffee, donuts, and bingo priz-es.“These seniors need this time together.The ‘typical’ morning will consists of do-nuts and coffee and about an hour of ‘chattime’among the seniors. Then 10 a.m.,down to business. They do announce-ments, anyone have a birthday, anniversa-ry, want to celebrate anything. Is anyonefrom the Tuesday morning group sick? Ifso, they pass around a get well card forthat person. Then bingo! My dad (HowardFaulkner) is the bingo caller, announcer,etc. Once someone has ‘bingo’d‘ theircards get checked (by a volunteer) and ifit’s correct, the senior goes to the tableand gets a gift (typically produce, candy orsomething else that’s usable that’sshopped for by a volunteer.) They play 10games with a break halfway through forrefills, etc.“Next week will be their yearly Christmasparty. For the Christmas Party, the groupbuys small sandwiches and fried chickenand requests that the seniors attendingbring a side dish/dessert. The volunteergroup is responsible for setting this up aswell. Everything flows so smoothly, thanksto these volunteers. We eat, we talk, welaugh, we have a great time. When every-one is full, we the volunteers clean up andmake sure everything was the way it wasfound.All this would not be possible if it wasn’tfor these volunteers caring so much aboutkeeping this Tuesday Morning Seniorsgroup together. That’s why I would like tonominate, the wonderful seniors above asneighbors who care. They care 52 weeks ayear for 40+ people by each week byhosting the Senior Tuesday Morningsgatherings.”

The origi-nal goal was to read,study and enjoy each oth-er. Members wrote a con-stitution that states “theobject of this club shall beencouragement, self-im-

provement and to developa spirit of helpfulness.”There were 59 members atthis time with an agenda,song, quotations, minutes,piano solo, history, vocalsolo, papers and conversa-tion.

Early on, they met thesecond and fourth Thurs-days of every month intheir homes. The first

president was ElizabethWest, who continued forseven years. The womendressed in hats andgloves and luncheon ordessert was served withelegant china and silverservice.

The organization hassupported the MilfordLibrary since it openedin 1901. During the early1900s, they supportednational issues, donatingto the Longfellow Home,a Washington Memorial,an industrial farm forfederal women prison-ers and a Chicago shel-ter, planting memorialtrees on Arbor Day. Attimes, members’ chil-dren provided club pro-grams. In 1917, memberswere engaged in RedCross work and by 1939,the club established kin-dergarten classes in Mil-ford.

MILFORD — When MilfordHigh School’s beginning pho-tography students recentlylearned how an internationallyacclaimed fashion photogra-pher decided to specialize inportraits celebrating people’sdifferences – not the industry’straditional standards of beauty– they were inspired to do thesame.

For years, Rick Guidotti hadphotographed the world’s supermodels. A chance encounter ona Manhattan street with a stun-ning girl with albinism prompt-ed him to rethink his priorities.He left the fashion industry andformed Positive Exposure.Through photos and videos,Guidotti’s nonprofit group isdedicated to transforming pub-lic perceptions of people livingwith genetic, physical and be-havioral differences, from albi-nism to autism.

Until this fall, Erika Houseonly knew Kyle Wiegand frompassing him in the school hall-ways. When the Milford HighSchool photography studentwas paired up with Kyle to shoothis portrait, it became morethan just another assignment.Erika got to know Kyle as a per-son, not just as another anony-mous face in the crowd.

“I had seen Kyle in the hall-ways, but since ninth-grade, wehaven’t gotten to know manypeople who aren’t in our wing,”Erika said. “So getting to meetKyle and other students in theMD (multiple disabilities) classwas exciting.”

Through the assignmenthanded down by photographyteacher Janelle Schunk, Erikaand her 27 fellow photographystudents spent time with thesubjects of their portraits. Theygot to know their likes and dis-likes, and bonded over boy-friend and girlfriend issues, aswell as similar tastes in musicand sports.

“Kyle was easy to work withbecause he’s so energetic and healways has a beautiful smile,”Erika said. “Kyle’s taught methat no matter what we’re deal-ing with in life, every dayshould be filled with joy.”

The students’ portraits werepart of a recent exhibit, “Differ-ent Lives, Same Beauty,” atKeiser Photography in Milford.The goal was for students tolearn about each other and tocreate portraits that capturethe personalities, unique abili-ties and the spirit of teens livingwith multiple disabilities.

“This was about exploringthings that we typically aren’tused to exploring in portraitphotography,” teacher JanelleSchunk said, whose studentsalso have photographed sub-jects at the Drop Inn Center andhave worked with homeless mil-itary veterans. “I just saw thisas the perfect opportunity forus to form an atypical partner-ship and explore the idea ofwhat real beauty is. The kidstook that idea and ran with it,creating these beautiful friend-ships.”

In his 30 years of owningKeiser Photography in Milford,owner Keith Keiser said he’snever had an exhibit as popularas the students.

“The students knocked thisone out of the park,” Keisersaid, as visitors recently stoodelbow to elbow in his studio ad-miring the students’ photogra-phy. “They just took the conceptand ran with it.”

For Kristy and Matt Ham-mond, parents of Jon Ham-mond, who deals with cerebralpalsy, epilepsy and a visual im-pairment, the exhibit was achance to see their son show-

cased in a positive way. The cou-ple shot video capturing the 16-year-old’s reaction to his por-trait for family members whocouldn’t attend the exhibit.

The mother of another por-trait subject, Paige Bergman,said that she was pleased herdaughter’s photographer “sawher as a person without thewheelchair” when she shotPaige’s portrait.

More than any grade her stu-dents could earn, Schunk saidher teenaged photographersrealized their subjects were

teens just like them who strug-gle with many of the same is-sues.

“They got to see them as typ-ical teenagers, not peopletucked away in a different partof the school,” Schunk said. “Ithink my students saw thatthose differences are whatmake us beautiful and unique.”

Council needs to have sayin Milford Maindevelopment

Recently I attended a publicmeeting concerning the oldschool building at Five Points andthe proposed new apartmentbuildings.

Most people that attendedwere against this due to variousreasons. Some want to keep theold building; others do not want abig apartment in their front yard.

I have lived in the area since1957 and attended St. Andrewgrade school, so I have no ties tothe old school. It would be terrificif the original old building couldbe kept for some use, but accord-ing to the developer there are notakers except him.

The old school buildings locat-ed in Terrace Park and Marie-mont were redone keeping the oldfacades. It is a shame this couldnot happen here.

If this new apartment buildingis going to happen, city councilshould really think about the lossof the open area at Five Points,due to the larger foot print of thenew building. As with the play-ground for the kids this is about as

Americana as you can get. It is thecenter of the town and the inter-section of a major and state route.Also once this area is developed itis going to be there for a very longtime.

The developer proposes to usea mix of brick and vinyl sidingsimilar to his River Walk develop-ment, with the fake stone and alu-minum trim. This is the same ma-terial used on entry level homes. Iwould hate to think what this isgoing to look like 25 to 50 yearsdown the road. You don’t see con-struction like this in Mariemontor Madeira.

If this has to happen the citycouncil should have some say asto all brick and real stone con-struction. Similar to the materialsused on the old school, which haslasted close to 100 years and asmaller footprint that does notruin the focal point of our town.

Council should think long andhard about this and not make thesame mistake the city leadersmade when they chopped off thetop of the City Hall Building onMain Street.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Howdy folks!Well I lost my best

friend and partner RuthAnn. She is with the Lord inheaven. She was buried inthe cemetery by the OldBethel Methodist Churchhere in East Fork alongside her dad and mother.Ruth Ann is with her dad/mother, cousins, grandpar-ents and lots of other soulswho have passed on beforeher. We had 56 years ofgood marriage, good lovefor each other. We alwayswent together and heldhands like love birds wewere. Someone asked me acouple years ago how longhave you been married –only a short time over 55years.

When we were married Ihad rented a farm of 330acres above Blanchester.The second year our firstdaughter came along. Whenwe were planting cropsRuth Ann’s mother wouldtake care of Debby, thebaby. Ruth Ann would stopher tractor every two hoursand go feed the baby. RuthAnn was handy driving atractor or running the com-bine, bailer or corn picker.She was my helper. Shewould rather be outsidehelping me than in thehouse doing house work.When we were working inthe house I always ran thesweeper and mopped thefloors. Since Ruth Ann hadthe hip replacement therewere things she could notdo without hurting her so

we workedtogether –that’s the wayit is supposedto be.

Before wewere marriedRuth Annwould help meplant wheat atmother’s farmabove New-

tonsville – that was the fallbefore we were married.One time while bailing Iwas loading the hay on thewagon and she turned thetractor and bailer realshort and I fell off the wag-on. Boy did she get excitedto see if I was hurt – Iwasn’t. I would suggest toeveryone of you that aremarried that you do every-thing together if you canbecause in time the Lordwill call one of you home. Ifyou have a – as my friendthat died at 101 always saida – “putor” learn how tooperate it. My daughterDeb said you will learn howto use ours.

That famous blackberrycake will not be the same aswhen Ruth Ann made it, butone of my daughters willpick up the expertise to doit.

Was talking to Mike atthe Boars Head Bait Shopat Afton. He said the fisher-men are catching some finesauger at the Ohio River. Atthe time I was talking tohim he said Rodney andanother feller was headeddown to the East Fork to

give the crappie a chanceto be caught. I had the op-portunity to go fishing withRodney a while back andcleaned 30 nice crappie-that feller is a fishing ma-chine and sure knows how.Thanks Rodney.

I stopped writing thisarticle when I looked out-side at the bird feeders –they were empty so I wentand filled them. I get thebird seed from the Car-ney’s Feedmill. They mixtheir bird seed. I am get-ting seed catalogs fromseveral companies hopingfolks will buy their seeds. Iwas talking to folks thatraise a big garden of pro-duce to sell at markets-they are getting ready toorder their seeds. Thisyear I will plant sweet po-tatoes in five gallon buck-ets so the little shrews cango hungry-they ate parts ofthe sweet potatoes also theother taters. The Iris taterswill be planted in barrels alady gave us last summer.

Now with the holidayshave a good time with yourfamily and stay sober onNew Year’s Eve.

Start your week by goingto the church of yourchoice and praising thegood Lord.

God Bless all, more lat-er.

Dec. 24 questionWhat do you consider the most

significant event of 2014 - either in-ternationally, nationally, locally orpersonally?

“Nationally - Ferguson. Per-sonally, and most importantly, aserious health (C-word) scare, sur-gery and a great healthy recoveryfor my wife. Amen.”

Chuck Gibson

“It was when Pope Francis stat-ed, ‘If we destroy Creation, it willdestroy us.’ This means that 2014is the year when protecting the en-

vironment is no longer merely aneconomic issue. It is now a moralissue about whether or not we fol-low God's plan for us and respecthis creation.”

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat are you most looking for-ward to, or what do you expect orhope to see happen, in 2015?

Every week we ask readers a question theycan reply to via email. Send your answersto rmaloney@community press.com withCh@troom in the subject line.

America should not support dictator-ships.

It appears axiomatic now, but we havesupported the likes of Pinochet and Sad-dam Hussein and have no problems withhaving full relationships with countrieslike China. The indignation that the likes of

Marco Rubio and RedCruz are expressing aboutdoing business with dicta-torships, rings as hollowas the emptying cells ofGuantanamo.

As a former citizen ofBrazil, whose currentpresident was torturedunder a US-backed mil-itary regime, I have to askwhere the indignation ofthe Cuban-American poli-ticians when other Latin

Americans were being repressed andtortured by the Generals in Buenos Aires,Santiago and Brasilia back in the ’70s and’80s?

Cuba matters because it is a glaringexample to the rest of the world of theproblems of our foreign policy and ourpolitics. We say we embargo the islandbecause they are a communist dictator-ship. Yet we don’t embargo China. We saywe don’t like the way they hold prisonerswithout trial. And yet in Cuba, on Guanta-namo we do the same thing. We say wedon’t think the Cuban people should livelives of deprivation, but we embargo themanyway. In short, we have made enemiesof the Cuban people by giving their gov-ernment something to hold against us. Weempower our enemies with embargoes.

It is time for us to start making friends

in our own back yard, if not actually fab-ricating enemies. Venezuela is unfriendlyin part because we supported – or at bestignored the misdeeds of – regimes so cor-rupt that even Chavez looked good. Brazil,the biggest nation in Latin America and theworlds eighth largest economy is not onlypresided over by someone who wastortured by a regime we supported, butwho we spied on as well, after she becamePresident. Bolivia is also slipping away,and Argentina is being run by populists,that find an easy target in a superpowerthat ignores its closest neighbors. You maydetest Putin as much as I do, but he cer-tainly pays attention to HIS neighbors farmore than we do.

Cuba matters because it is the key tocloser ties with Latin America who havelong viewed our relationship with Cuba asan old vendetta, a grudge unworthy of asuperpower. Cuba, for its part has in thepast fomented revolution elsewhere andbeen a thorn in our side. But since thecollapse of the Soviet Union, Cuba hassupported talks between the Columbiangovernment and FARC and famously ex-ported doctors to where they are needed inmany countries.

No, the Cuban government is not a“Free and Democratic” government by ourstandards. Neither is that of Egypt, SaudiArabia, China and many others. We don’tappear to have a problem with them. I sayit’s time to build bridges and tear downfences. It’s time to promote free trade, andfreedom through dialogue. Let’s start inour back yard. I’ll drink a Cuba Libre tothat.

AARP is well-known, but not-so-familiar is the AARP Foundationand its Tax-Aide program.

Tax-Aide volunteers provide avaluable service to the public,working behind-the-scenes in asurprisingly helpful and hopefulway each tax season. Trained vol-unteers serve hundreds of familiesannually, helping them file theirFederal and Ohio taxes without afee being charged. The programassists low and mid-income fam-ilies that are a wide variety of ages.All people are welcome to takeadvantage of this service.

This service has been in place inSouthwest Ohio for more than 30years. Information about the pro-gram has been told by one satisfiedperson to another over the years.Nine sites in Cincinnati’s East Sidecommunities provide this tax assis-tance given by 70 volunteers. Un-derstandably, as word gets around,the need for more sites continuesto grow, as does the need for morevolunteers for the program to ex-pand.

Each year from the beginning ofFebruary through mid-April, hun-dreds of families are assisted onthe East side of Cincinnati alone.This area, Ohio District 19, servescommunities from Interstate 71East into Western Clermont Coun-ty, from the Ohio River north intoLoveland and Milford.

Volunteers are trained and certi-

fied each year tostay current withchanges in the taxlaw and thus beable to serve thetax payers whomthey assist. Theprogram is com-pletely run byvolunteers; in factnot even tips areaccepted for ser-vices rendered.

Those receiving the service do nothave to be a member of AARP nordo they need to be a “senior citi-zen.” Typically tax preparationtakes about an hour. All returns aredouble checked for Quality Re-view; all are filed electronically.

There is a pressing need formore volunteers to be trained forthis service. Perhaps as you readthis you are interested in volun-teering as a Tax Prep Aide. Train-ing/certification will take place inJanuary, and volunteers will beready to serve the beginning ofFebruary.

For information about volun-teering or to locate a site near you,contact www.aarp.org/volunteer orcall 800-687-2277.

SHORT HOPS

By Nick [email protected]

Morgan Huff remem-bers one match in partic-ular, in which she had thepleasure of shuttingsomeone up.

The Goshen senior isthe only girl on theschool’s wrestling teamand is the only girl atmost events in which shecompetes, so there wasbound to be a story ortwo.

“There was one timeat a tournament and thiskid was talking about allthe things that he was go-ing to do to me when hewrestled me and it mademe really mad,” Huffsaid. “But I didn’t say

anything back because Ithought … we’ll see onthe mat.”

The story ended withan apology – a quick one.

“When I went outthere, I pinned him in thefirst period and afterthat he came up and apol-ogized for all the meanthings that he said,” Huffsaid.

Huff has always want-ed to wrestle, so the occa-sional irritating story isworth it. Her father,Chuck Huff, has been awrestling coach. Herbrother, Chase Huff, 13,has wrestled since hewas 6.

So Morgan wanted in.“My dad didn’t really

like the idea of it,” Mor-

gan said. “And when Iturned 16, he said I couldmake my own decisionand I chose to wrestle.”

And she hasn’t justbeen on the team, so tospeak. She wins. Huffsaid she won her firstmatch in her second orthird dual event. She wasa district qualifier lastseason and reached thesecond day of the event.

“She won a match andmade it to the second day,which is an accomplish-ment for anybody,” Go-shen coach Dallas Risesaid. “She goes to a lot ofcamps and she travels.Her dad takes her tosome all-girl tourna-ments at different placesand she works reallyhard. She’s really knowl-edgeable about the sport.She’s a good leader and a

pleasure to have on theteam.

“She works reallyhard. Academically,she’s like top five in theclass and she is going togo to college for wres-tling.”

Morgan Huff will at-tend the University ofthe Cumberlands in Wil-liamsburg, Kentucky,where she will wrestlefor the school’s girls’team.

Before she leaveshigh school wrestling,she wants to leave an un-forgettable mark.

“My goal is to make itto state,” Morgan said. “Ihave to make weight in ahealthy way and I have topractice hard. I would bethe second girl in historyto do it and the first girlin DII to do it.”

MEG VOGEL/FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Goshen’s Morgan Huff, 17, left, wrestles with Courtney Lillich,15. Huff is the only female on Goshen High School's wrestlingteam. She practices six days a week and uses her dad's shoptwo nights of the week because many wrestling facilities donot allow females to wrestle males.

In the last two years,when Clermont CountyJob and Family Servicesbegan devoting a full-timeperson to recruiting adop-tive families for older chil-dren, five children havefound “forever families” –including three siblingswho were placed with onefamily. Five more areawaiting adoption finaliza-tion.

Since October 2012,Sharon Wiesenhahn hasbeen Wendy’s WonderfulKids recruiter for Cler-mont County.

“Dave Thomas oncesaid, ‘These children arenot someone else’s respon-sibility. They are our re-sponsibility.’ I believe thattoo. They come into thesystem through no fault oftheir own,” said Wiesen-hahn. “There are so manymyths about adopting old-er children in foster care,and part of my job is to helpdispel that.”

The most insidiousmyth, she said, is that chil-dren are in foster care be-cause of something theydid, or that they are “badkids.” Nothing could befurther from the truth, she

said. Currently, four in 10children in foster care inClermont County are therebecause of parental drugaddiction, particularly her-oin, said Tim Dick, DeputyDirector at JFS.

To find prospective par-ents, Wiesenhahn firstgoes through the child’sfiles.

“Is there someone in thechild’s past who might beinterested in adopting?”she said. “Sometimes itmay be a relative whocouldn’t do it a year ago butmight be willing to do itnow.”

She makes sure she getsto know the child.

“What are they lookingfor? What is important tothem? Where would theylike to live?” That doesn’tmean she’ll be able tomatch all the child’s de-sires, but it gives her astarting point.

Wiesenhahn also scoursthe websites adoptuskid-s.org and A Family for Ev-ery Child, which matchprospective parents andchildren. She checks astate database for match-es. Wendy’s WonderfulKids and the Dave Thomas

Foundation provide cru-cial support and resourcesfor recruiters, she said.

One of her most reward-ing matches happened inApril 2013 when she placedthree siblings, ages 10, 8and 6, with a local familywho already had three oth-er children. “The siblingshad spent almost fouryears in foster care andwere separated for 21months of that time,” Wie-senhahn said.

“Prior to coming intocare, the children had suf-

fered abuse and extremeneglect. All three childrenhad written ‘TO BEADOPTED’ on theirChristmas lists and theiradoption was finalized onChristmas Eve.

“All three children arethriving in their newhome,” she said.

For more informationon adopting older childrenin foster care in ClermontCounty, contact Wiesen-hahn: [email protected] or 513-503-3143.

Sharon Wiesenhahn has been Wendy’s Wonderful Kidsrecruiter for Clermont County since 2012. PROVIDED
