Certificates of birth are available online

Township working on TIF for Kroger site

The Clermont County General Health District now offers citizens the opportunity to order an Ohio birth certificate online by using a credit card. “Since we began issuing birth certificates for people born anywhere in Ohio, we have seen an increased demand for copies of birth certificates,” said Clermont County Health Commissioner Marty Lambert. “A lot of people have a difficult time making it to our office during regular business hours, so the online option will make it easier for them to obtain the documentation they need.” Lambert said when an order is placed for a birth certificate, it is generally mailed within two days of processing. Expedited shipping is also available. Currently, only birth certificates are available online, but obtaining death certificates online may be available in the future. For more information about obtaining an Ohio birth or death certificate, visit the website www.ClermontHealthDistrict.org or stop by the Clermont County General Health District Office, located at 2275 Bauer Road in Batavia. For more information call (513) 732-7499.

Legislation would allow for improvement projects Sun staff

Pierce Township trustees held a special meeting Jan. 24, primarily to discuss tax increment financing legislation for the property that could soon be the site of a

new Kroger Marketplace. Pierce Township Administrator David Elmer said the legislation, which is outlined in the Ohio Revised Code, allows the township to utilize the increase in property value that the Kroger Marketplace will

bring to the area. He said an increase in property value creates an increase in taxes, and instead of the taxes going elsewhere in the county, the TIF legislation allows the township to collect some of the money to use for improvements that will benefit the development. “The taxes generated from (the property) are re-

placed by what is called a service payment,” Elmer said. “The service payment is about the exact same amount that would be taxes. The finance district channels that into a specific fund.” He said the money in the fund can be used for a variety of improvements in the township, as long as they benefit the Kroger develop-

ment in some way. “The ORC spells out the types of public improvements you can make using TIF money,” Elmer said. “They are used to upgrade or improve public infrastructure.” He said improving storm water drainage and gas lines are examples. Elmer said the taxes colSee Kroger, Page A3

More than 1,000 turn out for opening of new branch library Parking spots were hard to find on opening day, Jan. 29 BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff

Residents could hardly find a parking spot at the grand opening of the new Union Township branch of the Clermont County Library Jan. 29, a turnout library officials were thrilled about. “The fact that so many people came out today shows why we needed a large branch,” Joseph Braun, president of the library board, said about the opening. Braun said he was blown away by the attendance, which climbed past 1,000 people before 2 p.m. The grand opening featured a ribbon cutting cere-

mony, a puppet show, live music, refreshments and library tours every 15 minutes. “It means a lot to the community,” David Mezack, executive director of Clermont County Public Library said. “The community has waited a long time for the branch to be built.” The location, which was formerly Ryan’s Steakhouse, was purchased in June 2010, and construction on the new library began in 2011. The new location was designed to create more space and offer additional amenities compared to the previous branch location on Mt. Carmel-Tobasco Road. The total cost of the library was $5,323,810,

which was less than the original $6 million budget. “In the last few weeks we’ve been focusing on details,” Braun said. “The inspiration behind the decor is the Cincinnati Nature Center.” Braun said the library, which was designed by KBA Architects and decorated by Library Design Associates, resembles nature. From the swell-like ceilings to the outdoor-themed decor, the library borrows the scenery of the nature center, which is also located in the county. In addition to a crisp atmosphere, the library is more than 20,000 square feet and offers a variety of seating options, desks and work space, with plenty of outlets for laptop computers and accessories. “I think it is really nice,”

Wanda Lawrence, of Mt. Carmel, said about the library. “You can probably find anything you want.” The collection at the library features 51,225 books, more than 1,000 audiovisual materials, hundreds of periodicals as well as maps, language materials and more. There are two dozen computers and several print stations where residents can utilize computer programs, internet access and educational programs. There is also a large children’s section, activity room and meeting room at the facility. “It’s more kid-friendly,” Michelle Marino, of Amelia, said about the library. “There are more activities for them and it is more engaging.” See Library, Page A3

Clemency hearing held for arsonist Webb faces execution for starting deadly ﬁre in his home BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff

Michael Webb, a Goshen resident who was convicted of starting a fire 21 years ago that consumed his family’s home and killed his 3-year-old son, is facing execution for his crime. Clermont County Prosecutor Don White and Goshen Township Police Chief Ray Snyder both attended Webb’s clemency hearing Jan. 24, where Webb’s attorneys made their final arguments in an attempt to prove Webb’s innocence. “I made the argument on behalf of the state on why clemency shouldn’t be granted,” White said. White said both the state and Webb’s attorneys were

questioned by the Ohio Parole Board during the hearing and the board also heard comments from several of the victims. “I was extremely impressed by their preparation,” White said about the parole board. “They appeared to have spent hours reviewing the information. I was impressed by that and the kinds of questions they were asking.” He said originally, Webb’s execution was scheduled for Feb. 22, however, after the hearing, Webb’s attorneys filed to include Webb’s execution in a stay of executions that existed before Webb’s hearing. “To me they did it strategically,” White said. He said if the stay, which is not related to

Webb’s case, is not lifted before the scheduled Feb. 22 execution date, a new date may have to be set after executions that are

already scheduled. White said this is the first death penalty case in the county that has gone to execution. He said it was

interesting re-visiting the case at the clemency hearing. See Webb, Page A9

After creating a committee to review letters of interest from Amelia residents, council members presented their feedback at the Jan. 17 council meeting and voted to appoint Chris Dickerson as the sixth council member. Committee members Bob Pollitt, Chuck Thacker and Derrick Campbell met on Jan 9 to review four applicants who submitted letters of interest. “We had some really good people apply,” Campbell said. After meeting with two of the applicants on Jan. 9 and two on Jan. 10, the committee came back to discuss the candidates on Jan. 12. “The unanimous vote was Chris Dickerson,” Pollitt said. Pollitt suggested council vote on the appointment of Chris Dickerson to council, and the vote passed with Pollitt, Campbell, Thacker and Councilwoman Susan Elliott in favor and Councilwoman Renee Gerber opposed. Dickerson was a write-in candidate for the November 8, 2011 election, and was defeated by Gerber and Elliott. “I am very happy,” Dick-

Mercy Health–Clermont Hospital has announced that work has started on the expansion and renovation of its Emergency Department. The $2.5 million project will include five additional patient beds, renovated and expanded patient rooms, a new waiting room and reception area, and a new entrance with a sheltered drop-off area for patients that is separate from the ambulance entrance, providing added safety and convenience. The renovation will also include steps aimed at improving efficiency and getting patients treated even faster than before. This includes adding a second nurses’ station and a new triage area so patients can be evaluated sooner, allowing for less wait time. “There are going to be so many improvements that will enhance the way we are able to deliver care,” Visit

Amelia resident Chris Dickerson, center-left, takes the oath of office after being appointed by village council members at their Jan. 17 meeting. His wife Stacy held the Bible.

erson said about the appointment. “Being appointed gives me two years to prove I can be an asset to the village.” Dickerson said he has customer service experience, has owned his own business and is a strong supporter of small businesses. Prior to the election, Dickerson said his goals for the village were to increase communication between council members and residents and also keep the small-town feel of the village.

“This will be a new experience for me,” Dickerson said about being on council. “I am excited and honored.” Campbell said even though they appointed Dickerson to serve on council, they are still looking for residents to serve on the various committees that were created at the last council meeting, including recreation, safety, development and more. Interested residents can contact the village at (513) 753-4747.

said Joe Renusch, MD, Medical Director of the Emergency Department at Mercy Health – Clermont Hospital. “The most significant effect overall will be a better experience for our patients in terms of comfort, safety, privacy, and efficiency.” The emergency department at Mercy Health – Clermont Hospital treats more than 40,000 patients every year, a number that has steadily climbed over the past decade. Hospital leaders determined the time was right to expand the department. “This is part of our ongoing work to re-invest in the hospital and the patients we serve,” said Gayle Heintzelman, Site Administrator for Mercy Health – Clermont Hospital. “The population growth we continue to see in Clermont County and surrounding communities, along with our expanded services and expert care, have added up to increased demand for our Emergency Department. This project is really needed to help us continue to provide fast and effective emergency care for our patients.” Part of the expansion will include a four-room suite for Behavioral Health patients to better serve their needs. Mercy Health – Clermont Hospital provides

one of the region’s leading Behavioral Health units. The work on the expansion is being done in four phases to allow for emergency care to continue at the hospital with no impact on the patients. There will be times when the number of available patient rooms will be limited, but hospital leaders will work to keep those instances at a minimum. The entire project is expected to be complete by early next year. Mercy Health is a premier healthcare provider that has been serving Greater Cincinnati for more than 160 years. Mercy provides an integrated network of leading physicians, compassionate caregivers, comprehensive services and exceptional care at more than 80 locations across the region. The Mercy Health network of care includes six award-winning hospitals, eight senior living communities, primary and specialty care physician practices, outpatient centers, social service agencies, fitness centers and a variety of outreach programs.

lected from property prior to Kroger being built are not affected, only the gain in property value because of the development will be collected by the township. “Seventy-five percent will go into the TIF fund,” Elmer said. “Twenty-five percent continues to go to normal revenue streams, including schools.” In addition, Elmer explained that the township will discuss additional compensation for schools based upon the legislation. “Current TIF legislation requires a political jurisdiction to compensate the schools if the TIF is greater than 10 years or 75 percent of property value,” Elmer said. At the meeting, trustees gave Elmer the OK to notify school districts in the area about the legislation. He said the board will further consider approving the legislation at their February meeting. When it comes to closing on the property, located at state Route 125 and Amelia-Olive Branch Road, Elmer said officials are getting closer.

“The township has been working with the developer for approximately five years,” Elmer said. “They have agreed to a land purchase but have not closed on the property.” He said the township is involved in the closing process because a chunk of property within the development area belongs to the township. They are also involved because of zoning regulations. Elmer said from a zoning perspective, moving forward with the project has been interesting because the land is in both Pierce Township and Amelia village. “It straddles two jurisdictions with two separate zoning codes,” Elmer said. “It is an interesting and challenging, but exciting approach.” If built, the Kroger Marketplace, which combines both a grocery store and a home store, would be larger than the Kroger stores in close proximity. There is a Kroger at Route 125 and Bach Buxton Road and one at Route 125 and Route 132. Elmer said he is not sure if the two stores will remain open if the marketplace is built.

Interim Administrator Stephen Rabolt. “We’ve not received any word as to why he has been out,” Rabolt said. Rabolt said Wilson has been contacted about the meeting, and the meeting is still scheduled for 10 a.m. Feb. 1. “If there are two commissioners not available and their physicians provide a letter to the county the coro-

ner can step in and do business,” Humphrey said. Humphrey said his physician submitted a letter on his behalf and now it will depend on whether Wilson’s physician submits a letter. “The coroner has already indicated he would be available,” Humphrey said. Wilson has not returned calls for comment on his absence.

tive Kirk Schuring of Stark County, which would, if passed by the legislature, curtail the ability of municipalities to annex land belonging to public agencies through Type II Expedited Annexations. In this type of annexation, affected property owners must be unanimous in their consent to have their properties annexed, but governmental bodies are not counted as property owners, and their consent is not required. The proposed legislation would give public entities standing as landowners and the ability to object to an annexation. Batavia has recently annexed two areas into the village as Type II expedited annexations. These annexations have brought, among other properties, the campus of UC Clermont College, the Clermont County Sheriff’s Office, the county jail and municipal court into the village. In his testimony before the Local Government Committee, Nichols acknowledged that concerns about predatory annexation, or tax grabs, can be valid, but he said the problem is rare, while the opposite problem has gone unrecognized. “It is alleged that municipalities annex land as a ‘tax grab,’” Nichols said after his trip to Columbus.

“I’m saying that there’s another side to the coin. I said (in testimony before the committee) that we are looking at a situation right now in Batavia where the schools are moving, and it looks like tax avoidance. If they need to build or move a school, they could do it within the village.” Nichols testified in Columbus that by placing 68 percent of its payroll outside the village on its border, the county has stripped the village of funds it needs to maintain the infrastructure for the county’s courthouse and administration. Because the prime real estate in the village is county-owned and tax-exempt, the village relies on its 1 percent earnings tax. “Our burden (to maintain infrastructure) isn’t diminished,” Nichols said after his testimony. “Because downtown is exempt from taxes, the working residents have the burden of maintaining this infrastructure.” In the case of UC Clermont College, Nichols noted that the village has maintained access to the campus for 40 years, and he said that the college’s employees should share the burden of maintaining that access. “The employees of public entities have an obligation to support the infrastructure just like everyone else,” Nichols said.

To those who know Arizona Governor Jan Brewer at all, she is most wellknown for corruption, and secondly for running away from reporters during her re-election campaign. The best-known of her corruption scandals is her move to “privatize” several of Arizona’s prisons. Two of her top staffers were former operatives for Corrections Corporation of America, which gave huge donations to Brewer’s campaign for Governor. Some readers may recall that Arizona had a couple of escaped convicts who met up with a girlfriend of one of the convicts and went on a multi-state jaunt across the West. Before they were captured, some in the media compared these convicts to Bonnie and Clyde. What wasn’t as widely reported was that these convicts escaped from a prison that Jan Brewer had “privatized,” and their escape went undiscovered for sev-

there were many legislative successes in 2011 I am pleased to say 2011 has been a successful year for job creation in the state of Ohio. There is still much work to be done, but Ohio is headed in the right direction. From balancing an $8 billion budget to reducing taxes for Ohioans, the 129th General Assembly enacted historic legislation. One of the most important legislative accomplishments of the year was established with House Bill 1, which created the framework for JobsOhio. JobsOhio is a private, nonprofit corporation designed to lead Ohio's jobcreation efforts by attracting and retaining jobs, specifically emphasizing strategic industry sectors in areas of statewide and regional strength. JobsOhio has been instrumental in enabling Ohio to be more competitive in its economic development efforts. An important aspect of creating jobs is ensuring

After the officials at the prison discovered the escape, there was a further delay of a couple of hours before the escape was reported to law enforcement authorities, a delay that has never been explained adequately.

check register revives treasured memories Yvonne and I married in August of 1966 at the tender age of 20 in the midst of our college years. Memories of those early days cannot easily be called to mind, especially those long forgotten memories of the day-to-day events of our lives. A few weeks ago Yvonne was going through what can only be described as “a box of old stuff” when she discovered two check registers spanning the first 18 months of our marriage. Why we kept only those two check registers for all these years is puzzling to both of us, but we’re glad we did. Reviewing the 208 entries together brought back many interesting and sometimes humorous memories about the happiness we shared during that honeymoon period of our marriage. The first entry, check #101, was for $1.50 to Savage’s market, the small grocery store just around the corner from our basement apartment located a few blocks off campus. We wrote quite a few checks to Savage’s market for small amounts, $2.83, $3.85, and one for a whopping $5.90. Why in the world we wrote checks for such small amounts instead of carrying cash is hard to figure out.

gEoRgE BRown On February 6, 1967, after six months of marriage, we celebrated Yvonne’s 21st birthday by going to the Giant Food supermarket for the first time to buy our groceries. The check entry was for $18.06. I’m pretty sure that covered

“W

hy we kept only those two check registers for all these years is puzzling to both of us, but we’re glad we did.” a two week supply of groceries. As I recall, you could fill a large brown grocery bag for about $5. There is a reason why it took us six months to make it to Giant Food; we didn’t own a car when we got married. Check #118 dated January 18, 1967 took care of this problem. It was made out to our neigh-

bor Dick Ball for $200 to purchase his 1958 Rambler station wagon. It was a straight six, three speed on the column that had already traveled over 100,000 miles, but it was a good buy for us at the time. Yvonne learned how to drive that spring and even parallel parked that tank to get her driver’s license. I don’t think she has parallel parked another vehicle since then. Checks for gasoline during early 1967 ranged from $4.55 to $4.76. By July we had succeeded in getting an American Oil credit card and wrote a check for $26.33 to pay a full month’s gasoline bill. I wrote quite a few checks to keep that old Rambler on the road, including a check for $16.55 for a muffler, $34.87 for two tires including balance, and $20.34 to replace the gear shift when it fell off. It really did turn out to be a good first car. We put 15,000 miles on it, and then sold it for $100. Food and a vehicle were necessities, but we also appreciated and enjoyed the finer things of life. For example, Yvonne wrote check #104 to Lerner’s for $3.08 for a new purse. I’m sure it was a nice one. On FebruSee Brown, Page A7

supreme court case deals with final, appealable orders We do not often review divorce cases here at the Supreme Court of Ohio. When we do, it’s usually because some unique legal challenge has arisen during the divorce proceedings that call for a judicial review. Such was the case with the divorce of Jeffrey R. Kissinger from his wife, Beth A. Wilhelm-Kissinger. During the proceedings, a dispute arose regarding allegedly illegally obtained and privileged e-mail messages between Jeffrey and his attorney. Apparently, Beth had taken the e-mails from Jeffrey’s computer and given them to her attorney. When Jeffrey discovered what had happened, he filed

ohio supreme Court JustiCe a motion in the Summit County Court of Common Pleas Domestic Relations Division to disqualify Beth’s attorney. After a hearing in which Beth’s attorney reported that he never sought or reviewed any of the e-mail messages in question, the trial court denied the disqualification motion. In response, Jeffrey filed an appeal. But the Ninth District Court of Appeals dismissed Jeffrey’s appeal. The court determined that it had no jurisdiction because the trial court’s decision to deny Jeffrey’s motion to disqualify Beth’s attorney was not a final, appealable order according to the law. What does that mean, that it was not a “final, appealable order?” The term refers

to a court order and whether it is considered “final” and thus eligible to be appealed and reviewed by a higher court. Ohio’s courts of appeal have jurisdiction “to review and affirm, modify, or reverse final orders.” One of the sections of Ohio law that governs appellate courts states: “An order is a final order that may be reviewed.. if it grants or denies a provisional remedy.” That section of the law, which we’ll refer to as B4, is the section that the court of appeals relied on to dismiss Jeffrey’s appeal. After the court of appeals dismissed his appeal, Jeffrey filed a motion for reconsideration. He argued that the trial court’s denial of disqualification did constitute a final, appealable order, but he cited a different section of the law governing appellate courts. The section Jeffrey cited, which we’ll refer to as B2, states: “An order is a final order

Low bid on retarded school: $1,850,000 The second bid opening for Clermont County’s new school for mentally retarded children was favorable. Included in the total price of approximately $1,850,000 are all of the alternates, including extra rooms and a swimming pool. The amount is under the estimated cost of $2.1 million. John Mackey, superintendent of the school and administrator of the Clermont County Special Classes, said he was “pleased” with the bids. Bids opened earlier exceeded construction costs and had to be readvertised. Apparent low bidder on the general contract was Creative Construction Co., with $862,850, excluding alternates. Five other bids were submitted, four of them under the estimate of $950,000. The highest one was $1,090,482.

25 Years Ago February 5, 1987 Celeste names Zuk County Court Judge Governor Richard Celeste last week announced the appointment of a new judge in Clermont County. Named as judge for Clermont County Court was Kenneth Zuk, who replaces Michael Voris. Zuk will serve a term which will end December 31, 1988. Zuk, 39, received his law degree from Salmon P. Chase College in 1972, and has been in practice since that time. He has also served a two-year term as assistant prosecuting attorney.

New Richmond hires village administrator At the New Richmond Village Council meeting last week, Brian Humphrees was hired as village administrator, effective February 1. Mayor Betty Hinson appointed Humphrees, who has been the village’s Community Development Director for the last three years, after council established the position at its January 13 meeting. “I appointed him because I believe he is qualified, and he knows our village operations and its people,” said Hinson. “He moved his family here and has the village’s best interests at heart. I believe he will do an excellent job.”

Before coming to New Richmond, Humphrees was an assistant city coordinator for Bellevue, Ky., and performed a number of duties, including serving as water commissioner.

15 Years Ago February 6, 1997 Village shares memories of ‘37 ﬂood Memories and memorabilia of the 1937 Ohio River flood were the topic at the Ross-Gowdy House Museum January 30. Members of Historic New Richmond invited the public to hear flood survivors tell stories of the high water adventures they experienced 60 years ago this month. According to county documents about the flood plain, 13.68 inches of rain fell in the Cincinnati area with 7.25 inches falling between January 20 and 24. The Ohio River crested at 75.1 feet on January 26, but began to recede the next day. Aileen Whitt of Pierce Township told the story of a Cincinnati weatherman named Devoreaux who came to be known as “Mr. Never Know” thanks to his erroneous predictions. “He told everyone the river would crest at 62 feet, and people believed him,” she said. “Martial law was declared in the area, and the schools didn’t reopen until March 1.” Whitt told about a local New Richmond tavern that broke loose from its foundation, eventually lodging itself between trees in front of New Richmond High School on Market Street. “We had to walk around the tavern just to get to school,” she said. Whitt’s grandmother died on Jan. 6, 1937, but could not be buried until May. “The funeral director in Mt. Washington said they had between 12 and 15 bodies that had to be stored until the ground wasn’t so saturated with water,” Whitt said. “They had to cut part of the wall out of the funeral home, because the caskets wouldn’t fit through the windows, and they had to load the caskets into rowboats to transport them.” Residents of nearby Neville and Moscow also shared their memories, including how the children suffered from a lack of candy during the ordeal. Muscum curator Hazel Davis said the biggest mistake everyone made was listening to the weather forecasters when they said to move.

Q: What environmental regulations are designed to prevent pollution from oil tank spills at businesses, farms and other properties? A: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and all 50 states have a wide variety of water pollution laws that prohibit a person from allowing oil to spill from tanks into streams, lakes and other water bodies. Under one of these laws, the EPA has instituted a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermea-

LAW YOu CAn uSE OhiO State Bar

sure (SPCC) program to prevent oil spills from tanks. This program was initiated after several instances in which ruptured tanks released large quantities of oil into the nationís rivers, including a major oil spill that polluted the Ohio River.

Q: In general, what are the purposes of the SPCC program? A: The SPCC program requires tank owners or operators to prepare plans designed to prevent oil tanks from leaking and, if a spill occurs, to prevent spilled oil from reaching streams, lakes and other water bodies. Q: What types of tanks are subject to SPCC regulation? A: The SPCC program applies to tanks above or below ground that store

oil. Both stationary and portable tanks are regulated. Some tanks that are regulated by other environmental programs, such as hazardous waste tanks, are exempt from SPCC requirements. Q: What kinds of oils are regulated by the SPCC program? A: The SPCC program applies to all industrial oils, including petroleum, gasoline, fuel oil and diesel fuel. The program also applies to other types of oils, such as veg-

etable oil and animal fats. The EPA considers milk to be an oil, but has exempted milk at dairies and other locations from SPCC regulation. Q: How much oil may a person store in tanks at a single location without being subject to SPCC program regulations? A: The SPCC requirements apply whenever the combined capacity of all aboveground tanks exceeds 1320 gallons or the combined capacity of all under-

ground tanks exceeds 42,000 gallons. These regulatory thresholds are based on total tank capacity, whether or not they are full of oil. Accordingly, a property may be subject to the SPCC program even if its tanks are empty. Q: What kinds of businesses or activities are subject to the SPCC program? A: The SPCC program applies to any location hosting oil tanks whose See Law, Page A8

I believe we owe a big “thank you” to Danny for not only his service to our part of Ohio, but also for his admirable benefit to our country through his years of service in the US Marine Corps. I encourage you to look at all of the candidates for Danny’s replacement. Personally, I see one who appears to have similar characteristics. The candidate served in the US Navy Underwater Demolition Team, and is well versed on our founding documents and government economics. His approach to government is one of getting back to basics, and he is a good listener. I feel strongly that we need a person with that approach representing us in Columbus. The candidate I speak of is Rick Herron. The more I know of Rick, the more I feel that he is the right man to replace Danny. Bob Freudenberger Bethel

Get the facts straight, Paul Support Faris Dear Editor: Tell Paul to get his facts straight, not from the DNC Playbook. First, since Bill Clinton as President committed a felony of lying to a Grand Jury, with the Democrats making sure he was stripped of his law license (which he never used) and slapped on his wrists and say that it was "Only Sex," no Democrat or Republican ever needs to answer any question they don't like. Yes the reporters were only doing their jobs, but they all agreed, that forever after, no question needs to be answered, and now the reporters have made Billie Bob into a hero to all Democrats. Second, your so called reporters at MSNBC, have tainted reporting, as Chris Matthews has this "tinkling down his leg, every time he hears The Obama's name." His laundry and dry cleaning bills have been enormous, as The Obama's name is mentioned several times each night on your beloved MSNBC. Why they have even gone so far as to hire Al Sharpton as a reporter, his Mafia type shakedown artist reputation qualifies him for such a non news station. Proof, is the 8 million viewers Fox News gets each night, with CNN coming in at 10,000 viewers each night, with your beloved MSNBC (the Democratic News Channel) attracting a wonderful 354 viewers each night. Now what was that about Fox News not having real reporters? Hmm? Third, if a custodian ran for President to challenge The Obama, we would then have two persons with equal qualifications for the job. However, the custodian, would not have the baggage, of failure after failure that The Obama carries. The Obama Administration clearly reflects that when you elect someone with a background of never having a job, never running a company, never being a Trustee, Commissioner, or a Governor, the results are disastrous, except to the East Coast Elite, Unions, the Hollywood Crowd and the Media led by MSNBC. Fourth, it would have made sense if you questioned Newt's background in Congress not being a good reason for electing him President. Just look at the failure of The Obama as President, because being able to vote "Present," in the Illinois and U.S. Senate, shows that a President needs to have executive experience, not experience in Congress to be an effective President. President Eisenhower was a great President, coming from the Military, and if Colin Powell was to run for President, I would be among the

Dear Editor: Please join me in supporting Vince Faris’ campaign to become the next Prosecuting Attorney of Clermont County, Ohio. Vince has pledged to serve as a full-time prosecutor representing only the citizens of this county. I am absolutely convinced that our county needs and deserves a prosecutor whose only interest will be those of the citizens of this county. I have practiced law in this county for nearly 50 years, serving as County Treasurer since 1988. I have witnessed firsthand the tremendous growth that our county has experienced. There are unprecedented legal demands that have been placed upon not only public office holders, but also on our friends and neighbors throughout the criminal justice system. To meet the demands of this growth requires a prosecutor who will devote all of his time and energy protecting the interests of the citizens of this county. Vince has practiced law in this county since 1981. He served as Assistant Prosecuting Attorney from 1981 to late 1987. He successfully prosecuted scores of serious felony cases including murder, child and adult sex abuse, burglary, drug trafficking and a full range of other serious felonies and misdemeanors. Since 1987 Vince has maintained a multifaceted private practice expanding his skills, knowledge and experience that will serve this county well as our next Prosecutor. He has rightfully earned his reputation for adhering to the highest ethical and professional standards in all aspects of his legal career. Please join me in electing Vince Faris as our next Prosecutor. J. Robert True

CECOS plan submitted Dear Editor: This week, CECOS Aber Road submitted its amended post-closure plan for our facility to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency for review and approval. This plan comes after careful consideration of 15 years of monitoring data and operational experience since the facility entered post-closure care, many meetings and conversations with state regulators, and consideration of points raised by Clermont County officials. As you would expect, the plan itself is full of scientific and environmental language, and I would like to take this opportunity to touch on some important highlights.

I believe we have developed a post-closure plan that is both responsive and responsible to our neighbors in Clermont County. Our plan strengthens our existing controls and adds new ones, including 11 new monitoring wells to optimize the groundwater monitoring network in addition to the nearly 200 existing wells that are available for sampling. We believe that, with the addition of these new monitoring wells, the monitoring system will be more than sufficient; but we have also included specific provisions to regularly evaluate the network and to add or change wells in the future if needed. The plan employs an updated statistical method for evaluating groundwater quality following an approach preferred by Ohio EPA, Clermont County, and CECOS Aber Road that more closely follows current Ohio EPA guidance and methods used throughout Ohio. We are also installing dedicated pumps in all sampled groundwater monitoring wells to better ensure the consistency of the sampling. CECOS Aber Road also agreed to a request from the county that we maintain operating records throughout the post-closure period, which is above and beyond rule requirements. The plan includes several other instances where CECOS will be implementing standards beyond the rules. We want to again stress that the CECOS Aber Road facility has not accepted hazardous waste for more than 20 years, and over that time, there has been no leakage from the landfill cells into the environment. We have worked hard to update the post-closure plan, just as we have worked hard to maintain the facility in accordance with state and federal environmental law. We believe this amended plan will result in enhanced and efficient operation, monitoring and maintenance of the Aber Road facility during the post-closure period. Protecting human health and the environment is part of what we do every day. As I said in an earlier letter, we are committed to being a good neighbor and a responsible corporate citizen. We plan to schedule a public information session in the near future so you can examine the plan in more detail and have an opportunity to ask questions. In the meantime, if you have additional questions, please feel free to contact me at AberRoad@republicservices.com. Connie Dall CECOS Environmental Manager

Schwietering: Brewer’s book tour Continued from page 4 merous problems in states across the country, such as safety problems and understaffing. The public safety of several Western states was put at risk by a Governor who sold herself to the highest bidder and used her office to pay back one of her largest campaign contributors. Aside from her reputation for corruption, Jan Brewer is probably best known nationally for running away from reporters for most of her re-election campaign (a period of several months). Given her record, it is easy to see why her advisers would tell her that video footage on television of her (literally) running away from reporters would be less damaging than answering questions about her administration. So here we have a Governor whose very limited national notoriety is that of a corrupt politician who is more obsessed about covering up than Richard Nixon (who never ran from reporters) and George Bush, Jr., (who preferred to have fake “reporters” show up at his “press conferences” to ask “questions”) combined. That was where Jan Brewer stood nationally among the small percentage of Americans who had ever

heard of her, until yesterday. Jan Brewer published a book, which evidently flopped badly. Therefore, in order to try to gin up sales of her book, she tried to stage a confrontation with President Obama when he arrived in Arizona to give a speech. She waved her finger in the President’s face and attempted to start an argument with the President. The President, to his credit, decided not to waste time arguing with a fool, and refused to take the bait. On those few occasions that I have seen Jan Brewer interviewed, I noticed that she is exceptionally rude, and continually interrupted the other people on the panel and often interrupted the moderator. Also, she continuously said things that were blatantly false, which meant she was either a habitual liar or amazingly ignorant. Having met people of her type before, I think that her problem was ignorance. Now Brewer, having obtained her “15 minutes” of fame, is touring the right wing media circuit (Fox “News,” etc.) claiming that she felt “threatened” by the President and putting in a plug for (surprise!) her book. Unfortunately for

Brewer, her story about feeling “threatened” by the President at the airport is already falling apart. Video of the scene on the tarmac shows clearly that she completely lost her composure, blew up and started wagging her finger in the President’s face. The video shows clearly that she was doing most of the talking, and the President seemed bemused by her tantrum. More problematic for her is the fact that her fellow Republicans who were there are calling her story a lie. Mayor Scott Smith (R) of Mesa, Arizona said the President “was very relaxed” and, in fact, “stayed and had a pleasant conversation” with Smith. There is, of course, another possibility besides Brewer telling deliberate falsehoods. It could be that Brewer, like the “Tea Party” kook who shot Gabrielle Giffords, has become delusional. If that is the case, it is possible that she actually believes her own lies about what happened at the airport. We have a problem Governor here in Ohio, but right now I don’t think I would trade Governors with Arizona. Paul Schwietering is a former Democratic state central committeeman. He lives in Union Township.

Brown: Treasured memories Continued from page 4 ary 1, I wrote a check for $3.02 for a pair of slippers and another check for $2.06 for a recipe box. I’m sure both were presents for Yvonne’s 21st birthday. What a guy! Mysteriously, Yvonne wrote a check to Woolworth’s on her birthday for $2.86 but failed to record what she bought – not by accident I’m sure. I suspect it was to purchase what she really wanted for her birthday. The price was cheap enough so I won’t complain about it now. But can you believe this? On May 5, 1967 Yvonne wrote a check for $10.21 for Tupperware. That was a staggering amount to spend on such a purchase, especially when it left a balance of only $8.14 in our checking account! We were never overdrawn, but the balance was rarely over $100 and on one occasion it was only .27 cents! Most of my entries in the check register were for auto expenses or household needs, but I did make a few personal purchases, like $4.07 for a dress shirt, $1.03 for a new tie, and

$3.39 for one pair of “paint pants.” I worked my way through college as a painter, and I can still swing a pretty mean brush. The old check register does reveal a few large purchases. It took five monthly payments of $25 to pay off the 12x12 shag carpet we purchased for the living room, which was a good investment. But for the life of me I cannot figure out why we paid $100 for a used piano when neither of us could read a note of music and still can’t to this day. Other indulgent entries

included several checks to the local record store and a check for $8.01 for a croquet set. But for the most part, the 208 checks we wrote in those early days of our marriage were for vehicle expenses, food, rent ($85.00), telephone ($8.04), gas and electric ($11.28), and other expenses every young couple discovers as they launch a new life together. Looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing. George Brown is a freelance writer. He lives in Jackson Township.

Deja Vu of Cincinnati LLC was sentenced Jan. 30 on 10 counts of illegally operating a sexually oriented business in Union Township. The corporation operated the show club located at 516 Old State Route 74 and permanently closed its doors Dec. 31, 2011 as a result of the prosecution. “It has been a long time coming,” Clermont County Prosecutor Don White said. “From the time the place first opened, it has been a

and we have had problems.” White said Union Township officials made a commitment to regulate the club, and charges were filed after an undercover investigation that took place from April to June of 2010. The investigation revealed illegal operations that violated section 2907.40 (B) of the Ohio Revised Code, including dancers engaging in sexual acts with each other and patrons. “Union Township Detective Sergeant Scott Blankenship together with the entire investigative unit did an outstanding job conducting this undercover operation and aiding my assistant prosecutors in securing convictions,” White Read

said. White said after the corporation was charged, the owners approached prosecutors and agreed to plead guilty and close their doors before Dec. 31 if individual charges were dropped. “I said yes, but you'll have to do more than that,” White said. He said they agreed that the Union Township property, where the business was located, will not be used in the future to conduct any sexually oriented business. “Deed restrictions and a civil consent judgment have been signed by Deja Vu to enforce this provision of the resolution of the criminal cases,” White said. In addition, White reported that the sentence included a fine of $2,500 and an order that Deja Vu pay the Union Township Police Department restitution in the amount of $4,359.27. “Our position was we wanted a chance to eliminate this type of establishment in our community,” White said.

that may be reviewed.. if it affects a substantial right made in a special proceeding...” But again the Ninth District upheld its discretion to dismiss Jeffrey’s appeal. Next, Jeffrey filed a motion to have the Ninth District certify a conflict between its reconsidered decision in his case and a decision by the Tenth District Court of Appeals in a divorce case – Crockett v. Crockett – that presented a similar issue. In Crockett, the Tenth District concluded that in light of the “well established principle” that the denial of a motion to disqualify an attorney in a divorce proceeding affects a substantial right, the denial is final and appealable under section B2. The Ninth District certified that a conflict existed between it and the Tenth District. When that happens, the conflict comes before us – the Supreme Court of Ohio – for a final resolution. In this case, the certified question put to us was this: Does the denial of a motion to disqualify an attorney in a divorce proceeding affect a substantial right, and is it a final and appealable order? As previously mentioned, Ohio’s courts of appeals have jurisdiction “to review and affirm, modify, or reverse final orders.” That jurisdiction is established by the Ohio Constitution. Ohio law sets forth several types of orders that are final and appealable. The Kissinger divorce case involved the type defined by the section that we refer

to as B2, which makes an “order that affects a substantial right made in a special proceeding” a final, appealable order. According to the legal definition, a divorce is considered a “special proceeding,” so we turned to the issue of whether the order by the trial court denying Jeffrey’s motion to disqualify Beth’s attorney “affects a substantial right.” An order is considered to affect a substantial right only if an immediate appeal is necessary to protect the right effectively. To put it another way, to prevail in contending that an order affects a substantial right, the people filing the appeal “must demonstrate that in the absence of immediate review of the order they will be denied effective relief in the future.” In several previous cases over the years our court has held that a decision granting a motion to disqualify opposing counsel is a final, appealable order that the person deprived of counsel can appeal immediately. But in this case we had to address whether in a divorce proceeding an order denying a motion to disqualify opposing counsel also qualifies as a final, appealable order. As Justice Yvette McGee Brown wrote in our majority opinion, “Orders granting and denying disqualification of counsel differ in two key respects. First, an order granting disqualification immediately and definitely affects the party it deprives of chosen counsel; the purpose of appealing such an order is to

prevent the removal itself. “By contrast, an order denying disqualification, standing alone, affects no right held by” the person who unsuccessfully filed the motion, “because there is no substantial right to disqualify opposing counsel. “Second, an order granting disqualification typically imposes a permanent effect because it is unlikely to be reconsidered as a trial progresses. Therefore, a grant of a motion to disqualify counsel must be appealed immediately or its effect will be irreversible. An order denying disqualification, however, lacks a similarly permanent effect.” An order that denies disqualifying opposing counsel may be revisited throughout the trial, and the person seeking disqualification – Jeffrey Kissinger, in this case – may pursue other avenues, such as disciplinary proceedings, to address any improprieties that occur. “With these differences in mind,” Justice McGee Brown wrote, “we cannot conclude that an order denying disqualification in the divorce context requires immediate appeal to ensure the protection of a substantial right.” We thus concluded – by a six-to-zero vote – that in the context of divorce proceedings, the denial of a motion to disqualify counsel is not a final, appealable order.

gun, including restaurants that serve alcohol. At the same time, it prohibits licensees from being under the influence of drugs or alcohol while in possession of a concealed handgun. H.B. 45 offers greater freedom to concealed carry licensees while preserving the safety of the public at large. I also sponsored H.B. 79, which prohibits a qualified health plan from providing coverage for an abortion unless the life of the mother is at risk. The bill's purpose is to affirmatively opt Ohio out of a provision of the federal healthcare reform law that would allow a qualified health plan covering abortions to participate in Ohio's health benefit exchange. Finally, H.B. 162 provides, under defined conditions, opportunities for veterans to re-enter the workforce with a smooth transition. Some of these opportunities include the removal of the residency requirement for civil service exams, the renewal of expired licenses or certificates without penalty costs, and receiving education and training to qualify for them. This is an important legislative step in ensuring that Ohio's veterans are not disadvantaged in the job market because of their service to the nation. It has been a successful year in the legislature. We have passed an unprecedented amount of legislation in the hopes of creating a thriving environment for Ohioans in which to live and conduct business. Serving in the legislature this year has been a privilege. I look forward to what can be accomplished in 2012 to further improve the great state of Ohio.

The Case In December of 1990 The Clermont Sun reported that Webb was charged with aggravated murder and aggravated arson for starting a fire Nov. 21 that killed his son, Michael “Mikey” Patrick Webb and injured his wife Susan and their 1-year-old son Charlie and also involved Webb’s daughters Tammy and Amy. Chief Snyder, who has been chief at the police department since 1981, recalled investigating the fire soon after it was set. “Typically in an arson, when a person is burning down a house, they rely on the fire to consume the evidence,” Chief Snyder said. “Because the basement did not erupt in flames, a lot of evidence was still there.” Chief Snyder said the key pieces of evidence they found at the scene were containers filled with gasoline and two match books. After investigating the evidence and questioning those involved, Chief Snyder said they began to piece together what may have happened that night. Although Michael Webb claimed that he did not start the fire, Chief Snyder said Webb’s two daughters from his first marriage, Tami and Amy, awoke during the night hearing someone moving about through the house. “The daughters knew something was wrong,” Chief Snyder said. “They woke up and smelled gas and he told them to stay in bed.” Chief Snyder said shortly after, they heard an explosive noise come from upstairs. “The top floor sustained

heavy smoke damage,” Chief Snyder said. “The point of origin was just outside the bathroom door.” He said inside the bathroom, they discovered Webb’s blood where he had broken through the bathroom window. They also found a book of matches floating in the toilet, which came from a hotel Webb stayed at two weeks prior. In addition to the blood in the bathroom, Chief Snyder said police found more blood downstairs, outside the basement door – the same door Tami and Amy used to exit the house after the fire started. Chief Snyder said another book of matches, from the same hotel, was found on the ground just outside the basement door. He said the book of matches was also covered in Webb’s blood. Because there was minimal fire damage to the basement, Chief Snyder said officers were able to find a two-liter bottle and apple juice carton partially filled with gasoline. “We were able to prove they came from the house,” Chief Snyder said about the cartons. Chief Snyder said they also discovered gasoline spread throughout the house, including on or around each child’s bed. He said the fingerprints on the containers were Webb’s. And while Webb’s daughters were able to escape the fire through the basement door, Chief Snyder said Susan Webb was badly burned and bleeding from trying to exit the house. She was able to save her infant son, Charlie, who was in the same bedroom. Chief Snyder said Webb’s 3-year-old son,

A photo of the Michael Webb's residence shows the basement door where Webb's daughters exited the house after a ﬁre was started November 21, 1990. Webb's blood was also found near the door along with a book of matches.

A book of matches was found in the toilet of Michael Webb's home, which was set on ﬁre November 21, 1990. Webb exited the home through the bathroom window where the matches were found.

Mikey, who slept down the hall did not survive the fire. The Clermont Sun reported in 1990 that Mikey died from smoke inhalation and suffered burns on 80 percent of his body. He was found underneath his bed holding on to his stuffed animal. Prosecutor Don White said Webb was convicted by a jury June 26, 1991 for starting the fire that killed Mikey. The jury recommended he be sentenced to death several days later, and on July 16 he received that sentence. White said the appeals process for the death

penalty began shortly after he received the punishment and has been ongoing ever since. Chief Snyder said he felt that the case never really went away after conviction. And while he believes Webb is guilty, he said that for him, the case has never been about Michael Webb. “It has always been about Mikey,” Chief Snyder said “A 3-year-old who never got to know or hang out with his brother, who never got to ride a bike or go on a date. The grief the survivors have gone through is staggering.”

The County Commissioners Association of Ohio has named Clermont County Commissioner Ed Humphrey to serve as vice chair of the CCAO General Government and Operations Committee. The committee will make recommendations to the CCAO Board for policy positions on various proposals and bills in the legislature. In addition, the committee will be tasked with helping develop policy positions for CCAO’s 2013-2014 Legislative Platform and Priorities. “I have known and worked with Commissioner Ed Humphrey for several years at CCAO,” said CCAO President Debbie Lieberman. “He has a deep interest and is very knowledgeable about the issues that the General Government and Operations Committee will work on this year. One important issue we will explore is how our state election system works;

Some classes simply collected money from its students for the privilege of wearing street clothes rather than their uniforms, listening to music while they work, and taking special breaks. The staff also helped out with a special dress down days with the proceeds to benefit the cause. Students participated in

a Penny War, collecting pennies and change that was earmarked for holiday perishable food. Altogether, staff and students have raised a total of $ 5,768.81 to this point. The students also held a food drive throughout November to provide food baskets to the families in need. The students responded with a total of

3055 food items that went to approximately 45 families at the Career Center. A special thank you is extended to all area businesses, parents and friends who participated in this fund-raising endeavor. The help was greatly appreciated by those families who struggled with extra needs this winter holiday season.

Bobby Pemberton, a member of the FelicityFranklin FFA, has received the Plant Systems Grant from the National FFA Organization for $1,000. He sent his application in Nov. 12, 2011 and received acceptance on Dec. 24, 2011. Pemberton will use this money to expand his Supervised Agricultural Experience which consists of fruit and vegetable production. Pemberton plans to purchase a large tiller to cultivate more ground and expand his production and begin to sell his products. Pemberton is the first Felicity student to receive a grant from the National FFA Organization. Pemberton assembled a wire cage for his cucumbers to climb so they don't lay on the ground and rot. He weeded them on a weekly schedule and spot checked each bed daily. Composting is another way he adds additional nutrients to his soil to keep it fertile and increase the productivity of his beds. Pemberton would like to expand his production area to include one acre and

In response to the great need felt by families during the winter holiday season, Grant Career Center’s Student Advisory Council led the charge to raise money to provide meals and necessities during the holidays for families at the Career Center. The students volunteered to coordinate the school’s efforts to raise money as well as to shop for groceries and gifts, sort food drive contributions and wrap and distribute all the items to the Grant Career Center families in need. Student Advisory Council members set goals for the students and staff and watched as the money began flowing in. Each career and technical program pledged to raise money and to help achieve the goal. The methods were as varied as the programs themselves. Carpenters could be seen framing a mirror to raffle, automotive technicians were offering specials on oil changes, alignments and tire rotations. The Teacher Academy students offered green apple lollipops, and the Horticulture students sold flowers by the dozen! The Auto Collision students detailed cars and applied striping to vehicles with all proceeds donated to the holiday fund while the Allied health Science students hosted an evening at the local Skyline restaurant. Other raffles abounded as students received donations from area businesses and parents. VIP parking spots, baskets of hair supplies, and free lunches all drew ticket buyers to try their luck. Cosmetology students and past graduates hosted a Cut-a-Thon and cut and styled hair for cash or canned food donations. They also hosted a Bake Sale during the Cuta-thon that offered delicious treats all day long. This amazing group of young ladies raised a total of $1,247.70 and brought in 1,371 cans. It was a monumental effort that involved great planning, sacrificing and a very big heart.

Glen Este bowlers peaking at the right time

BY CHRIS CHANEY With the Ohio High School Athletic Association seeding meeting taking place on Super Bowl Sunday, February 5, both the Glen Este boys’ and girls’ bowling teams are peaking at the right time to make a post-season run. “The boys team is having a great season,” head coach Kathy Demarko said. “(The boys) are very talented and they know what they need to do and their record (16-1) shows that. “The girls struggled a little bit at the beginning of the season, but they’re coming around at the right time. We are pretty young, but all of them are good bowlers and they are getting better, working their way up to the all-conference team.” The girls record stands at 13-3 and they haven’t gotten to that point without overcoming some adversity. Sophomore Leslie Campbell had labrum surgery and was unavailable until January. Usually, a right-handed bowler, Campbell has taken to bowling left-handed while her shoulder is on the mend and she’s done it quite well. Campbell ranks seventh in the Fort Ancient Valley Conference in average (166.3) and sixth in high series (430). However, Campbell is not alone. The Lady Trojans have five players in the top 20 in average in the league. Haley Vogelgesang, another sophomore, is just ahead of Campbell in sixth place with an average of 166.7. “Leslie and Haley should have a good chance of qualifying (for state), especially if Haley is kicking it,” Demarko said. Gabby Ruehlman and April Belanger sit in 15th and 16th, respectively and Erin Hunley ranks 20th. None of them are big bowlers until within the last few years,” Demarko said of Ruehlman, Belanger and Hunley. “To do what they have done in the time that they have been there is really good.” On the boys side, Demarko expects big things from the Trojans. The boys have won already won the FAVC tournament and faired well in other tournaments, some outside of the area. “I think tournaments help (our bowlers) get better as opposed to just matches,” Demarko said. “I like going up to Dayton. We usually get our butts kicked because the competition is so good up t here, but this year we’ve really been hanging with those teams.” The boys teams sits atop the FAVC and like the girls’ squad, boasts five players inside the top 20 in the conference. The Trojans are led by sophomore Blake Huber and his 201.4 average. Huber has a high series of 477. Tyler Dieringer, Jarred Brewer, Austin Doppes and Tyler Clark round out the Trojans top five, all with averages over 192. “Tyler Dieringer has been rolling lights out,” Demarko said. “Same with Austin, Jarred and Blake. The boys should make it through sectionals with no problem.” Demarko is expecting a solid showing from both of her teams as they make the trek upstate, but with such young teams, Glen Este should be making some noise for years to come.

Senior Dave Martulis qualiﬁed for state last year in breaststroke.

Milford swimmers eying trip back to state BY CHRIS CHANEY Sun staff

The Milford swim team has high hopes for the postseason as the 2011-12 season wraps up. Head coach Sarah Kleinfelter is confident that both her boys’ and girls’ teams have what it takes to get the Eagles back to Canton’s C.T. Branin Natatorium for state. “The boys team is very strong. Our dual record is 42 and our two losses came down to the last relay,” Kleinfelter said. “The fact that we don’t have any male divers kind of hurts us. If we did, those last relays wouldn’t have mattered and we would have won.

“The girls have the same record, but on the girls’ side, we are a bit younger and don’t have quite as much experience. But that means there are good things to show in the future.” Where the girls’ team is full of youth and gaining experience, the boys are top-heavy with upperclassmen. Kleinfelter said that most of her top swimmers on the boys’ side are seniors and going forward, the underclassmen will have to step up and fill their roles. Among her seniors, Kleinfelter is keen on Beau Robinson and Dave Matulis’ chances to get to Canton again in 2012 beings that both have qualified for

state earlier in their careers. “Beau is a three-time state qualifier, he was an All-American in the 100yard butterfly,” Kleinfelter said. “Dave Matulis qualified for state last year for breaststroke as well as for the relay. He should be able to get back there this year, too.” In the 100-yard backstroke, Alex Frank leads the Fort Ancient Valley Conference with a time of 55.64, which Kleinfelter believes should be good enough to get him upstate. As for her relays, Kleinfelter believes the boys should be able to get all three (200 medley relay, 200 freestyle relay, 400

freestyle relay) through to districts and maybe one or two to state. For the girls’ team, Haley Kennedy and Julia Prus are leading the way for Kleinfelter. “Julia Prus is my main breaststroker and Haley Kennedy has become kind of my utility swimmer,” Kleinfelter said. “We have been struggling with some girls being out due to illness and I can put (Kennedy) in any event and she’ll finish towards the top.” Kennedy and Prus are aided by Carolyn Storch and Kelsey Meranda as well as three divers, Marlee McCloud, Christy Wahl and Morgan Burgess, who rank

in the top four of the FAVC. As for going upstate on the girls’ side, Kleinfelter feels like Kennedy has a good shot in the 100-yard butterfly and Prus in the 100-yard breaststroke. Aside from individuals, the girls’ medley relay qualified for districts last year and ranks among the top in the FAVC this year as well. The key to Milford’s success has been the team overachieving, according to Kleinfelter. “Even our standouts are having good seasons,Some kids are being moved to other events and looking at me like I’m crazy, but they’ve done well. Everyone is contributing.”

New Richmond’s early run dooms Georgetown in game of SBC top teams BY CHRIS CHANEY Sun staff

The New Richmond Lady Lions went on an 11-2 run to end the first quarter and give themselves a 1610 lead that they would not relinquish, defeating Southern Buckeye Conference National Division leaders Georgetown, 45-37. “For a long time, I’ve looked up to the program they have at Georgetown and measured ourselves against it,” New Richmond head coach Brad Hatfield said. “It means a lot to know that we’ve brought the program to put it on the same level as teams like Georgetown.” With the Lady G-Men missing leading scorer Casey Carter due to a popfracture in her left hand, Georgetown struggled shooting from the field, going 13-54 from the field (24%). “She creates a lot of offense for us,” Georgetown head coach Bernie Cropper said of Carter’s absence. “Besides her scoring, she’s a good passer and she could have penetrated that zone, so we missed her.” As Carter watched from the bench, New Richmond jumped out to 5-0 lead to start the game. Georgetown’s defensive pressure allowed the Lady Lions to utilize back-door cuts to get into the lane. The Lady G-Men answered the initial onslaught by New Richmond with an 8-0 run of their own to take an 8-5 lead, but New Richmond came back to end the quarter on an 11-2 run that put them ahead for good. During the run, Sarah Shoemaker accounted for

seven of the 11 points as she hit a three-pointer and made two lay-ups. “She knocked down some big shots in the first half that gave us some confidence and kept us aggressive,” Hatfield said. “Sometimes when we miss shots, we tend to play it too safe and not take the open shot. I thought that was a big difference tonight.” Shoemaker scored a game-high 16 points. New Richmond was able to match the defensive in-

tensity of Georgetown in the second quarter as the Lady Lions switched from two-three zone to man-toman depending on what personnel the Lady G-Men had on the floor. “When they had at least one post player on the floor, we were going to let Josie (Buckingham) match up with them,” Hatfield said. “If they had five guards, we played zone.” The New Richmond defense was active, forcing turnovers and getting out on

shooters. On the offensive end, Buckingham, a 6-foot5 sophomore, was draped in the post. “We wanted to try and be physical with her and push her away from the box,” Cropper said. “Sometimes we’d play behind, sometimes we fronted her, but she was a huge factor with how good of a passer she is.” As Georgetown concentrated on making life tough for Buckingham in the post, she was able to step out to

the elbow and pass from above the defense to cutting teammates. “She’s really developing in that area,” Hatfield said of Buckingham’s passing ability. “She’s realizing now where teammates are when she’s catching the ball and when there’s three people on her, there’s someone wide open.” Buckingham finished the game with 10 points. The Lady G-Men tried to get back into the game by incorporating a three-quarter-court press, but New Richmond’s Bailey Workman did a good job of single-handily breaking the pressure as well as getting to the basket, ending the game with 11 points. “She’s a speedster,” Hatfield said. “She’s raw athletically, but still developing as a player but when she can use her speed to get out in the open floor, she’s hard to guard.” The Lady G-Men were unable to get back within reach of New Richmond as the teams traded baskets late in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, both team’s defense stepped up as points became hard to come by. Georgetown was able to cut the New Richmond lead to six with 2:40 remaining, but the clock was on the Lady Lions’ side as they sealed the game from the foul line. Both teams sit atop their respective divisions in the SBC and control their own destinies as the season comes to a close. “It’s a good win for them. Coach Hatfield did a great job,” Cropper said.

PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF 401 APPLICATION Public notice is hereby given that the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) Division of Surface Water (DSW) has received an application for, and has begun to consider whether to issue or deny, a Clean Water Act Section 401 water quality certification for a project to fill streams and wetlands to accommodate an expansion of an existing residual waste landfill. The application was submitted by Duke Energy. The project is located east of the intersection of State Routes 756 and 743 in Washington Township, Clermont County. The Louisville District Corps of Engineers Public Notice Number for this project is LRL2010-964-ncc. The Ohio EPA ID Number for this project is 113781. As required by the Antidegradation Rule, rule 3745-1-05 of the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC), three alternatives have been submitted for the project. The applicant's proposed preferred alternative, if approved, would impact 14,963 linear feet of primary headwater habitat streams and 2.37 acres of wetlands. The applicant's proposed minimal degradation alternative, if approved, would result in the filling of 11,486 linear feet of primary headwater habitat stream and 1.81 acres of wetlands. The applicant's proposed non-degradation alternative, if approved, would have no direct impacts on waters of the state. Discharges from the activity, if approved, would result in degradation to, or lowering of, the water quality of Little Indian Creek. Ohio EPA will review the application, and decide whether to grant or deny the application, in accordance with OAC Chapters 3745-1 and 3745-32. In accordance with OAC rule 3745-1-05, an antidegradation review of the application will be conducted before deciding whether to allow a lowering of water quality. All three proposed alternatives will be considered during the review process. No exclusions or waivers, as outlined by OAC rule 3745-1-05, apply or may be granted. Starting February 2, 2012, copies of the application and technical support information may be inspected on Ohio EPADSW website: www.epa.ohio.gov/dsw Persons wishing to 1) be on Ohio EPA's interested parties mailing list for this project, 2) request a public hearing, or 3) submit written comments for Ohio EPA's consideration in reviewing the application should do so in writing to Ohio EPA-DSW, Attention: Permits Processing Unit, P.O.

The Batavia boys basketball team had their chances last Friday night against Southern Buckeye Conference National Division foe Georgetown. In what was a close game for much of the first half, the Bulldogs struggled to find any rhythm on the offensive end of the floor against the visiting G-Men and they paid the price. Withstanding a barrage of Bulldog looks near the basket early on, the G-Men were able to maintain their lead throughout the half before quickly seizing momentum early in the second half and running away for a 61-38 win. “Early, we competed,” Batavia coach Mike Hatfield said. “We can’t score. We’re getting offensive rebounds (and) we’re getting four footers. We just don’t make them.” Though they struggled to hit shots both close and away from the basket, the Bulldogs were able to stay competitive in the first half by taking advantage of some of their opportunities. Batavia’s Matt Cooper answered Nathan Lewis’ fast break layup with a bucket in the post after he had got good position on his G-Men defender. On the next trip down Cooper once again converted, this time after he grabbed the third offensive rebound on the possession for the Bulldogs and layed it back in. The basket tied the game at seven midway through the first quarter. Georgetown quickly answered the Bulldogs four point spurt with five of their own. Jacob Miller first hit a jumper at the elbow before G-Men teammate Jake Cropper nailed a 3-pointer to put the visitors on top 127. Alex White kept the Bulldogs close after he scored a layup to cut the G-Men lead

“They’re an excellent team. But we’re going to try and win our National division, so that’s our immediate goal.” Georgetown can lock up the National Division with a win at Felicity on Thursday, Feb. 2. New Richmond plays at Western Brown on Thursday for a chance to avenge their 44-43 loss against the Lady Broncos in early January and sit in the drivers seat of the American Division entering the last week of the season. Georgetown (15-2) – Hatfield 4 1 11, Kidwell 4 3 12, Whitaker 3 0 7, Jones 0 3 3, Pack 2 0 4. Totals: 13 7 37. New Richmond (14-3) – Workman 3 4 11, Shoemaker 5 3 16, Rupp 2 0 4, Keets 2 0 4, Buckingham 5 0 10. Totals: 17 7 45. Halftime: New Richmond 29-21. 3-pointers: G 4 (Hatfield 2, Kidwell, Whitaker); NR 4 (Shoemaker 3, Workman).

to 14-11 near the end of the quarter but Georgetown guard Cropper pushed the lead back to six as he converted a layup while he was fouled. His foul shot gave the G-Men a 17-11 lead at the end of one. The Bulldogs were able to score enough points offensively to keep themselves within six as the second quarter reached its mid point. But the G-Men gave themselves some breathing room when Gage Bradley converted a three-point play when he was fouled on a layup and Miller was fouled as he pushed the ball up the floor. Once Miller hit both free throws, the G-Men held a 26-15 lead with 4:26 left in the half. Both G-Men baskets came in transition, a key piece of the G-Men attack

all night long. “They got a couple easy ones,” Hatfield said of the G-Men’s transition game. “They have been running a lot more. We knew that. We prepared for it but they didn’t get back when they needed to.” The Bulldogs next trip down the floor was a microcosm of their night offensively. Off of a Georgetown turnover, Batavia had three looks right at the basket they weren’t able to convert but were able to continue to corral the offensive rebounds. Finally, Dillon Gilbert grabbed the ball and his putback was good to bring the Bulldogs to within nine, 2617. “They do rush them,” Hatfield said of the Bulldogs missed shots right at

the basket. “It’s something we’ve done poorly all year. We’re thinking we’re getting a little bit better at it but once the pace picks up we kind of forget to get back. That’s like a four point swing every time down if you miss a short one and they’re off and running and you don’t get back.” That didn’t immediately happen to the Bulldogs, however, as they were able to get a stop and Kyle Schmitgen came down and hit a 3-pointer to close the G-Men lead to six, 26-20, with a little over a minute left in the half. But then the Bulldogs did just what Hatfield had laid out in his scenario as the GMen quickly recaptured the momentum before the teams headed to the locker room. Bradley answered

Schmitgen’s 3-pointer with one of his own before Quin Sandlin converted a fast break layup right near the end of the half off a long defensive rebound and run out. The baskets pushed the G-Men lead to 11, 31-20, at the break. The G-Men, who shot over 50 percent for the game, added to their lead right after halftime when Cropper hit two free throws and Miller hit a free throw line jumper to increase their lead to 35-22. Cooper and Dwyane Smith answered for the Bulldogs with back-to-back layups that cut the G-Men lead to nine, 35-26, with 6:26 left in the third quarter. It was then that Miller took the game over for the G-Men. The Georgetown point guard scored five quick

points, on a 3-pointer and then putback in the lane, to push the G-Men out to a 4026 lead. After Schmitgen, who scored a team-best eight points for the Bulldogs, grabbed a defensive rebound and pushed the ball up for a layup, Miller answered with a fade away jumper on the baseline. Lewis pushed the G-Men lead to 16 when he converted a fast break layup before Miller layed the ball in on a patient offensive set to put the G-Men on top 46-28 with 2:34 left in the quarter. The Bulldogs had trouble containing Miller -- who scored a game-high 21 points, grabbed six rebounds and dished out six assists -- all night long. “Their point guard is the best point guard in the league and he’s a freshman,” Hatfield said of Miller. “We had a sophomore guarding him and he made some tough shots over top of him...He’s a good player.” The Bulldogs could get no closer. The G-Men, with Miller running the show, quickly put the game out of reach to start the fourth quarter as they ran to the victory. “I thought out kids played solid on both ends of the floor tonight,” Georgetown coach Jerry Underwood said. “We executed well (and) we shot the ball well. Defensively our intensity was good.” Georgetown (9-6, 4-2 SBC-N) 61 Bradley 6 2 15, Williams 1 0 2, Cropper 3 5 13, Miller 8 4 21, Lewis 3 0 6, Stenger 0 0 0, Sandlin 2 0 4, Lucas 0 0 0, West 0 0 0.

Amelia wrestling overcomes multiple rebuilding periods to get the program ready to compete BY CHRIS CHANEY Sun staff

When head coach Derrick Tessoff returned to Amelia High School four years ago, he was left with the task of rebuilding a program that had lost nearly every wrestler in the program. “I coached at the high school for three years (about 10 years ago), but work took me away for a couple of years,” Tessoff explained. “Then Amelia got a wrestling room, which I actually designed because I work for an engineering firm, so they asked me to come back after a two-year hiatus. “When I left, we had a league-championship team. We had juniors and seniors 30-deep and they won the league the next year, but after that year, they had to sell (wrestling to the students). “After that league championship, the following year, something went wrong and when I got back, we had seven wrestlers left and basically, the rebuilding process started all over again.” Tessoff has grown the program over the last few years, getting 19 wrestlers during the 2011-12 campaign in which the Barons are 5-10 in dual meets.

Amelia’s Isaac Shalash wrestles against Bethel-Tate in the 106-pound match. Shalash, a freshman, won the Sycamore Invitational in his weight class. He holds a 169 record on the season.

Out of the 19 wresters, 10 of them are freshman, most of whom were familiar with Tessoff due to his work in the youth wrestling programs. Though the fee for wrestling at Amelia has risen to $500, through fundraising efforts Tessoff has brought that price down to $95, making the sport much more affordable to a broader array of athletes. With an affordable price, Tessoff then had to rebuild

a relationship with parents who were willing to help grow the program. He banked on his pas experiences at Amelia to build a rapport that would support the student-athletes. “I finally got the parental support. There was a fracture between the youth, the middle school and high school. It was crazy,” Tessoff said. “My coaching résumé helped. I coached the last two state qualifiers and on our record board just for

wins in weight classes, I have coached eight of our 14 weight classes for wins either as an assistant coach or head coach.” Still, with a young team, Tessoff and the Barons are looking toward the future and the possibilities that it holds. “I only have one senior, so we’re getting everybody but one kid back next year,” Tessoff. “Everything is on the up-and-up big time right now. I haven’t felt this ex-

cited since I was in high school and we were building that the first time.” On the Barons’ roster this year, freshman Isaac Shalash, 106-pounds, is one of the top prospects for Amelia’s future. “(Shalash) is 16-9. He’s been in the youth program, the middle school. He’s a really solid kid. He won the Sycamore Invitational two weeks ago as a freshman,” Tessoff said. Others that are making an impact include Alec Holste at 106-pounds, Jake Hopper at 120 and Matt McElfresh at 126. Tessoff believes that McElfresh, a junior, is the most athletic kid he has on his roster. Tessoff had to sell McElfresh on the sport after losing him for his sophomore season. Tessoff believes that if McElfresh buys in to what he is trying to sell, the sky is the limit for him. Perhaps the best wrestler on the squad is junior Andy Clolinger at 113 pounds. “Andy Clolinger is our leader at 22-5,” Tessoff said. “There’s about 10-12 kids who are fighting for one of those three spots to go to state. They’ll beat up on each other, winning by two or three points each, but (Clolinger) is at a high level, but he’s got a little more to go. “He’s got a legit shot to get to state this year.”
