Amelia swears in new council member Council still looking to fill one vacant seat BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff

Amelia village officials switched seats, replaced one another, and are seeking another member of council this year after the Nov. 8 election. Former councilman Todd Hart was sworn in to re-

place Leroy Ellington as mayor on Jan. 1 and Susan Elliott was sworn in as incoming council member at the Jan. 3 council meeting. Mayor Hart also appointed Bob Pollitt to be vice mayor at the meeting and announced that he would be re-creating several committees in the vil-

lage including finance, streets, safety, utility, recreation, cemetery and planning and zoning committees. He appointed Renee Gerber to the recreation committee, Bob Pollitt and Derrick Campbell to the planning and zoning committee and said he would appoint members to the other committees in the coming months. “I would like to see council have more input and re-

sponsibility in the running of the village,” Mayor Hart said. “That is why we did this.” Council members also discussed the appointment of a sixth council member at the Jan. 3 meeting and several members were already at odds about who should be appointed and how the process should work. The village accepted letters of interest from residents with a desire to fill

former Councilman Tim Rosser’s seat. Residents were able to submit letters of interest in December, and now council will review candidates and make a selection. “After reading the letters, in my opinion there is only one true person who can even be considered,” Councilwoman Renee Gerber said. “I am not saying no one else is qualified, no one See Amelia, Page A3

Batavia Local School Board will soon begin a Bring Your Own Technology pilot program, which will allow students to bring their own technology to school. The district is one of many schools to adopt the program, which is designed to allow students to benefit from technology such as tablets, laptops and smart phones while saving the district money. School officials will allow students to bring their devices to school and help set them up on the wireless network so they have access to resources and information for educational purposes. “This is an attorney’s nightmare, but it is a reality,” Mark Ewing, school board member, said about the program. “You have to try to find a balance between the two.” Superintendent Jill Grubb said in order to eliminate some of the risks associated with students using their

Driving through Tate Township in Clermont County, residents may notice the abundance of contractors back at work cutting down and removing

trees infested by the Asian longhorned beetle. Young’s General Contracting employees returned Jan. 4 after the holiday season and are working to complete phase one of the tree removal process, which includes the removal of

trees in wooded lots. “They are still removing infested trees,” Rhonda Santos, public information officer for the United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, said. “They had primarily removed landscaped trees, now they will be going back into properties to remove trees in wooded lots.”

Now that the new year has arrived, many people are trying to find ways to keep the fitness-related resolutions they have made. “We do see an increase in memberships in January,” Jacob Brooks, senior program director for Clermont Family YMCA, said. “Some of the new members that come through our doors are looking to achieve their New Year’s resolution goals and others are looking for indoor activities to keep up their physical activity.” Brooks said achieving these goals is not an easy task, and it takes not only a commitment but often a change in lifestyle. “People are extremely busy these days,” he said. “And it is tough to find time to exercise regularly.” In addition, he said fitness centers can sometimes be intimidating for new members who are not familiar with equipment, or not sure where to start. Getting started Brooks encourages those who are just beginning an

exercise program to be patient. He said while someone will feel better almost immediately, they may not see immediate results. “The first piece of advice that I give members is to not get frustrated,” he said. “Remember Rome wasn’t built in a day.” He said the second piece of advice he gives members is seek help from a professional. “When a member joins the YMCA we strongly encourage them to make an appointment with one of our Wellness Coaches,” he said. “ They will show the new member how to use our machines and discuss how to reach their fitness goals.” Brooks said his third piece of advice is to recruit a friend or family member to be a workout partner. “You can motivate and hold each other accountable,” he said. “You’ll be less likely to blow off your workout because your partner will be there waiting for you.” Chelsea Leder, a certified personal trainer at Planet Fitness in Eastgate, also suggested working out with a friend.

working to complete the second environmental assessment, which will help determine the next steps in the eradication process. Originally, the second environmental assessment was predicted to be released before the end of 2011 and was set to propose the removal of high risk host trees in addition to infested trees. Santos said APHIS officials have delayed the assessment to collect more information. “When they issued the first environmental assessment we were only aware of 800 infested trees,” Santos said. “They really wanted to go back and take their time and examine the infestation.” Santos said since tree removals began in November, and since APHIS started the second environmental assessment, the number of infested trees has increased. She said because of this, and because of the destructive nature of the Asian longhorned beetle, officials are conducting new tree counts and further researching the impact removals will have on the area. “All of the information will help us realize what can be done,” Santos said. “There are going to be a few different proposed courses of action in the environmental assessment.” Until the second assessment is complete, contractors and APHIS officials will continue to work with residents as infested trees are removed in the area. Marvin Enoe, a tree climbing supervisor for APHIS, explained that the tree removal process is pretty continuous now that contractors are moving into the wooded lots in Tate Township. “This is a heavily infested area,” Enoe said about the Visit

tractors are being cautious about how they remove and dispose of infested trees. “They can survive in wood that is the size of your thumb,” he said about the larvae. Contractors are careful to collect all the wood materials after a tree has been cut down, and once the infested trees are removed and loaded into dump trucks, they are taken to a site off State Route 232 where they are cut into chips that are smaller than one inch in two dimensions. “We definitely make sure it is not something that would potentially re-infest,” Enoe said. He said the USDA has made the wood chips available to Tate Township residents. In addition, contractors make sure to fill holes and replace landscaping that was damaged during the tree removal process. The tree removal process will continue in both Tate and Monroe townships until all of the infested trees have been removed. Once the second environmental assessment is released, residents will have 30 days to comment on the assessment, which will include future eradication suggestions and plans. “Because they are taking their time gathering the information, it is not expected we will see (the second assessment) until early spring,” Santos said.

area just outside Harmony Hill Vineyards, where the infestation was discovered in June of 2011. “It seems like it’s where it really took hold originally.” He said officials have estimated that the area in Tate Township could have been infested by the Asian longhorned beetle for up to seven years prior to its discovery. In order to aid the tree removal contractors in their efforts, and keep an accurate count of trees, Enoe explained that APHIS officials have used a red slash to mark trees that are ready to be cut down. He said they were also using a blue dot to mark high-risk host trees, which were in close proximity to infested trees. He said they have stopped marking high risk host trees because of the delay in the second environmental assessment, however, he said many of these high risk host trees are only inches away from the infested trees. Many trees also have both a blue dot and a red slash on their bark, which indicates that they were infested after the original survey or possibly missed by surveyors. “We have so much preferred host material out here,” Enoe said about the Tate Township area. Enoe said the area is different than other towns he has worked in because there are many hardwood trees close together, making it difficult for surveyors to find every infested tree. And while the adult beetles have died off, Enoe said the larvae is thriving in the bark of infested trees. Because of this, he said con-

After ALB infested trees are removed from properties, contractors use equipment to grind the wood into chips less than one inch in two dimensions, which creates an unlivable condition for Asian longhorned beetle larvae.

The owners of a 22-acre property in Batavia are proceeding with plans to open an automobile salvage yard in the village. Batavia officials have received a zoning permit application for 500 Kent Road from Plumb Properties of clermont County, Ltd. Their proposal is to open an LKQ used automobile parts facility at the site. Batavia village administrator Dennis Nichols said that the application is not likely to be approved. He said that the village has a specific ordinance which bans automobile salvage and junk yards. “I expect that I will not be able to approve it,” Nichols said. Because the property is zoned for industrial use, the application must be brought before the village’s Board of Zoning Appeals. The application will be considered by the board at a meeting at 7

The site plan for the proposed LKQ Self-Service Auto Parts facility, 500 Kent Road, Batavia.

p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 17, but Nichols says that because this type of business is banned by ordinance, the matter won’t be up to the discretion of the board. Nichols said the business would not be a good fit for the village. “I believe this would make Batavia the ugliest county seat in Ohio,” Nichols said. LKQ would store approximately 2,000 inoperable vehicles on the

property. Retail customers would be able to remove and purchase parts from the vehicles at the site. The vehicles would later be removed from the yard and crushed in a building on site, and then transported for recycling. County commissioner Archie Wilson is partowner of the property, located at Kent Road and state Route 32, which was formerly the location of The Stone Source.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Some Ohio families are starting the New Year in a new neighborhood, apartment, or shelter after being foreclosed upon or being unable to sell their former home for as much as they paid for it. Meanwhile, once-thriving, middle-class neighborhoods are being undermined by vacant homes, vandalism, and declining property values. If we’re going to continue our economic recovery, we need to address the issue that put our economy on the brink of collapse: the housing crisis. When it comes to the housing crisis, there is plenty of blame to go around. But before the recession, too many fast-talking mortgage brokers steered Americans into unfair loans that helped put the U.S. economy on the

Girl asks for help to find a cure for a deadly disease Avery Addington walked into my office in Washington, D.C., and made herself at home on a couch. The 5-year-old from Springboro was nursing a cold that day in March, so I handed her a tissue. Despite having the sniffles, Avery was a good girl while the grown-ups talked. But her mom, Hallie, was mortified when Avery put her feet on the couch. Avery scooted over to get a better view of photos I had displayed of my daughter’s two young sons. “Don’t worry about it,” I said. “I’ve got grandchildren. And you're a taxpayer. You paid for that couch. It’s yours!” Our conversation was light, but the purpose was serious. Avery has juvenile diabetes, and the illness doesn’t go away in a couple of weeks like a cold. Her family had traveled from their Warren County home to the nation’s capital to ask

for help in finding a cure. I found Avery to be a remarkably sweet girl – with light brown curls, bright blue eyes, and a dazzling smile. It’s a combination that could melt your heart. And yet, this pretty little girl has an ugly disease. Juvenile diabetes, also called Type 1, strikes suddenly. It can lead to kidney failure, seizures, blindness, amputations, and death. There’s a misconception that Type 1 diabetes can be caused by poor diet or a lack of exercise (Avery stays busy with gymnastics and cheerleading).

Addressing the housing crisis we face

According to the latest polls, Mitt Romney will win the New Hampshire primary, but he has fallen 10 points in the last four days. The beneficiaries of Romney's decline seem to be Ron Paul and John Huntsman. Two debates were held in New Hampshire, one last Saturday and another on Sunday. The other candidates took a number of shots at Romney. Newt Gingrich stated during a nationally televised debate that Romney should stop the "pious baloney" that he (Romney) is not a professional politician but a businessman motivated by disinterested patriotism to run for President.

Retirement is going pretty well, so far Adjusting to retirement has had its challenges, but I am getting comfortable with sleeping in the travel trailer. The little box heater has helped a lot. I should explain myself for those of you who may have missed the column I wrote a few weeks ago about my plan to help make Yvonne’s life a little easier by organizing the kitchen cabinets for her, plus a few other ideas I had, like preparing meal menus and going grocery shopping with her to help compare prices. As my former coworkers can tell you, when faced with a challenge I’m not one to give up easily. So despite your many phone calls and email warnings, at 2 a.m. last Saturday night I slipped out of bed and snuck into the kitchen to organize the kitchen cabinets; still certain that, if I could manage to get the job done without Yvonne knowing it, she would be pleased and appreciate my efforts. I quickly completed my virtuous task, and with a bit of prideful satisfaction quietly slipped back into bed unnoticed. On Sunday morning I was enjoying a cup of coffee as I relaxed in the man cave (i.e., my 40” TV hideaway that now doubles as

I hit mute on the remote, and paused from my writing to listen for the happy reaction I was sure I would hear when she opened the cabinet doors and discovered how neatly I had organized everything for her. Yvonne’s morning routine is predictable. I listened as she reached for a cup, turned on the faucet to fill it with water, slipped the cup in the microwave, and

keyed in two minutes on the timer. When the microwave began to hum I knew she was about to open the cabinet door and reach for the sweetener and a tea bag. Suddenly the house grew mysteriously quiet, like that eerie calm you can feel in the atmosphere just before a tornado strikes, and makes the hair stand up on your arms and on the back of your neck. The stillness was brief but deafening. I began to hear a ringing noise in my ears and a countdown clock started ticking off the seconds in my brain, “seven, six, five, four…” My breathing grew shallow, and I could feel my heart pounding in unison with the countdown, “thee, two…one!” Like the ferocious growl of that grizzly bear I had started to write about, Yvonne let out a roar that rumbled through the house and into the man cave, hitting me like the shockwaves of an atomic bomb. Her normally soft words boomed like thunder, “What in the h--- have you done? Where are my tea bags? Get in here!” I scrambled from my seat nearly stumbling over the footstool as I hurried to the kitchen, calling to Yvonne See Brown, Page A7

The year of job creation Not to dwell too much on the past, 2011 was a difficult year to say the least. Hundreds of thousands of Ohioans sought jobs as the unemployment rate stagnated at 9 percent. Though the past year has been a trying time for many, Ohioans are nothing if not resilient. Despite the hurdles, the 129th General Assembly enacted historic changes. From balancing an $8 billion budget to reducing taxes for Ohioans, we are making strides in the right direction. One of the great successes of the year was balancing the state operating budget. The year began with an $8 billion deficit due in large part to a decline

The House made cuts to state agencies and other adjustments that resulted in $45 million per year to local governments. Furthermore,

the passage of House Bill 2 granted the Auditor of State explicit authority to conduct performance audits on state agencies. Stricter accountability measures for state agencies are vital to Ohio’s economic success. We must ensure that no valuable resources are being wasted. An important measure included in the budget is the program InvestOhio. InvestOhio aims to encourage investment by connecting small businesses with the money needed to grow and create jobs. The goal is to generate at least $1 billion in new private investment by 2013 and lead to 30,000 new jobs. The program allows investors to collect an income tax credit for investment of up to $10 million in eligible businesses. This program should see investments increase, which will increase the number of jobs available and strengthen Ohio’s economy. From the beginning of the year, job creation emerged as priority Number One. See Uecker, Page A7

Bill Mussey in race for State Senator

Make report public, county officials say

Bidders brave chill at auction of armory

State Rep. William H. Mussey (R - Brown - Clermont) Tuesday confirmed rumors he will campaign for state senator in newly apportioned Senatorial District 14. At the same time Warren C. (Bud) Nelson, Lebanon, director of the Department of Highway Safety for eight years during the Rhodes administration, announced he is circulating petitions to run for the same seat. Rumors that Mussey would seek the senate seat cropped up weeks before the Clermont County Republican Central and Executive Committee tipped the news in its endorsement of candidates for offices in the May primary. Its endorsement preceded Mussey’s official announcement. New District 14 includes all of Warren, Adams, Pike, Scioto, Brown counties, one township in Butler County, seven precincts in Clinton County, all of Clermont except Union and Miami townships, ten townships in Highland County and nine townships in Jackson County.

The decision to keep secret a study on the efficiency of the Clermont County Recorder’s Office has come under attack from two groups that want the report made public. The Clermont County Board of Commissioners, through attorney Paul Berninger, filed a motion this week which asked that the study be opened to the public. Through a letter to Brown County Judge William B. Stapleton, The Clermont Sun newspaper also protested the sealing of the document. Kahle filed suit against the county in September. He alleged that he would run out of money and be forced to lay off several workers unless county appropriated more money for the office. Commissioners had, several times prior, denied such requests. At a hearing later that month, commissioners agreed to fund the office through the year, but requested the efficiency study be done. At the December 17 meeting, the study was reviewed and commissioners agreed to give Kahle’s office $20,000 more this year than in the past.

Despite the cold temperatures and blistery wind chill, a crowd of spectators listened as volunteer auctioneer Joel T. Wilson accepted bids for the North Second Street armory January 10. The winning bid of $36,000 was made by Doug Auxier, who said he plans to preserve the building. “I really like this building. I plan to look at all the options, but I want to try to save it,” he said. Auxier said he isn’t certain what use he will make of the armory, but is considering either business offices, a rental party hall, or even a combination of the two ideas. Village council member Tony Thomas said he was pleased with the bid. “Initially, I pretty much expected we’d get minimum bid, but in the last week before the auction there was more interest,” he said. Before auction the village announced that no bid under $12,000 would be accepted, he said. Village Administrator Jim James said the money from the sale would go into the capital fund, which is used for street repairs.

Clermont County needs a uniform telephone service. That’s what Clermont County Commissioners feel, and they’ve made known their ideas in a direct appeal to the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) for county wide telephone service. Commissioners requested in a letter to PUCO that consideration be given to all Clermont County residents for county-wide telephone service. Extended metropolitan area service has been made available in recent years by Cincinnati Bell to all of the Clermont County area within its territory, with Bethel and Williamsburg the last of the villages to have toll-free Cincinnati extended area service. After this happened, residents of the Felicity area began a campaign to “break our community out of its isolation and discrimination telephonically.” Felicity residents are unable to call anyone else in the Bell system in Clermont County without a toll charge. Neither can anyone in the rest of the county call Felicity without toll.

County near accord with sewer workers Talks between the county and its water and sewer workers continued earlier this week in an attempt to avert a strike this Friday. The 87 workers began discussions last Friday to try and avoid a strike, which will begin at midnight Friday if both sides can’t reach an agreement. The workers’ contract expired January 1, and although officials from both sides have said all but minor details have been worked out, there are still some obstacles to overcome. The American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees Local 2461, which represents the workers as a union, has said it wants a three-percent pay increase this year and a four-percent increase in 1988. The county has agreed to the increase in 1987, but said it wants to keep next year’s increases negotiable.

Pluses of Batavia out weigh liabilities Good news; the assets of living in Batavia outweigh the liabilities. That was the finding of the village planning subcommittee during three days of workshops conducted in November. The seven-member subcommittee, appointed by village council, invited residents and business owners to speak their minds about community improvements they’d like to see. “We were very excited to find out that people find more good things about Batavia than bad,” said committee Chairman Carla Naehring. “We had a good mix of people who came to the workshops: new residents and people who have lived here all their lives.” Naehring said the committee’s goal is to take the residents’ input and use it to create a mission statement for the village.

Livestock care standards govern care and treatment Q: What is the Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board? A: In November 2009, Ohio voters amended Ohio’s constitution, creating a 13-member Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board to establish standards governing the care and well-being of livestock and poultry in Ohio. In developing these standards, the new constitutional provisions and the enabling legislation required the board to con-

sider agricultural “best management” practices, biosecurity, disease prevention, animal morbidity and mortality data, food safety practices and the protection of local, affordable food supplies for consumers. The board was also allowed to

consider other factors when developing the standards, which were formally adopted earlier in 2011 and went into effect on Sept. 29, 2011. Q: What do the standards provide? A: The livestock standards establish specific guidelines for the care and treatment of livestock in Ohio. They address such issues as housing, transportation, feeding, handling and euthanasia. The term “live-

stock” includes all equine animals (such as horses and donkeys) regardless of the purpose for which they are raised, and also the following species if raised for food or fiber: bovine (beef, veal and dairy), hogs, poultry, sheep, goats, llamas and alpacas. The standards do not apply to “exotic” animals or any other species not included on the list. Q: Where do I find the complete set of standards?

O D D

A: You can find the complete text of the rules, along with explanatory materials, at the website of the Ohio Department of Agriculture: www.agri.ohio.gov. Q: Who enforces the standards, and how does the enforcement process work? A: The standards are enforced by the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA). The ODA receives and investigates complaints of alleged violations. If the

investigation confirms that a violation has occurred, the ODA issues a written notice of the violation(s) to the responsible party, along with a description of any actions that may need to be taken to correct the problem. Depending on the circumstances, the ODA may also propose civil penalties as provided for in the rules. Civil penalties can only be imposed through an adminSee Law, Page A7

At the moment, the best medical minds in our country are trying to develop a device to make managing the disease a little easier for Avery and her family. I wish it was a cure, but it’s not. At best, it’s a workaround, a gadget – two gadgets, really. One would monitor Avery’s bloodsugar levels, and another would calculate and automatically dispense the correct dose of her required insulin. The device, dubbed an “artificial pancreas,” is being tested now. Volunteer test subjects will wear it. Avery, a pupil at the Walter Shade Early Childhood Center in West Carrollton, is not alone in this battle. Nearly 26 million people in America have diabetes, and one out of every three babies born in this country will develop the disease. This is costly. Medicare spends a third of its payments on diabetes, and the overall drain on the U.S. economy is $174 billion annually for medical care and

Avery and her mom visited Washington to ask me to sign a letter to the commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, urging the agency to move in a timely way to approve the artificial pancreas for use in managing diabetes. I gladly did so, along with some of my colleagues in the House. We sent the letter in April. Last month, the FDA issued what’s called draft guidance to help manufacturers as they try to develop and seek approval for artificial pancreas devices to treat diabetes. It’s a step in the right direction. This week, Avery visited me again. She had a smile on her face when she and her mom stopped by my Cincinnati office. They thanked me for signing the letter to the FDA and for having co-sponsored legislation in the House to fund research on how to find a cure for diabetes. Avery was accompanied by three other children, who lead active lives despite having diabetes: Nora Loving, 11, of Batavia, a fifthgrader at Immaculate Heart

ship; Sam Spears, 11, of Madeira, a fifth-grader at St. Gertrude; and Finn Roach, 15, of Deerfield Township, a freshman at Mason High School. There were a few teary eyes among the dozen adults in the room when talk turned to the physical, emotional, and financial toll diabetes can inflict on families. But I wish you could have seen the smiles and heard the laughter of these children – and parents – as the talk turned to things such as gymnastics, running cross country, playing football, and wrestling. Despite all the effort and money put into battling diabetes, the disease isn’t retreating. We still don’t know exactly what causes it. We don’t know how to make it go away. But because of kids like Avery, Nora, Sam, and Finn, I will not give up the fight. Jean Schmidt is the U.S. Congresswoman serving Ohio’s Second District.

Brown: Retirement going well Continued from page 4 as I went, “Honey, I rearranged the cabinets for you; the tea bags are on the right.” At the same time I was thinking to myself, “Of course the sweetener and tea bags would both be on the right, toward the end of the alphabet.” “See,” I said as I opened the right cabinet door, “they’re right here.” The cupboard door slammed shut, just missing my fingers as I quickly

pulled my hand away. Yvonne didn’t say a word. She didn’t have to – she just gave me “the look.” It was a long look and I fought hard to maintain eye contact. Slowly Yvonne’s head turned toward the window, and my gaze followed hers. We were both staring at the travel trailer. Well, like I said, retirement is going pretty well so far. I’m staying busy organizing the cabinets in the travel trailer and keeping it tidy; waiting for the storm

to pass and hoping I can move back in the house in a couple of weeks. Postscript: After reading this Yvonne asked, “You don’t think your readers really believe the stuff you write, do you?” “Yeah,” I said. “I’m pretty sure they do.” George Brown is a freelance writer and lives in a travel trailer in Jackson Township.

Schwietering: So much pious baloney Continued from page 4 porate predator. Twentytwo percent of the companies that Bain took over either declared bankruptcy or closed. Bain's modus operandi was to raid the employees' pension fund, cut wages and eliminate healthcare coverage for employees, and to sell off the companies' assets, pocketing the cash and leaving what was left of the company to sink or swim. Gingrich was quoted as saying that Romney "looted" the companies he took over. Bain made $2.5 billion by such methods and also by outsourcing jobs. Romney didn't help himself over the last few days when he shot himself in the foot with a couple of gaffes. First, he said that there were a "couple of times" when he was worried about "getting a pink slip" (being fired).

When reporters asked Romney's campaign staff when it was that Romney was worried about losing his job, they couldn't come up with an answer. Further investigation revealed that Romney had a special deal with Bain Capital that continued to pay him millions of dollars a year for several years after he left (Romney's estimated net worth is about three-quarters of a billion dollars). When Rick Perry heard of Romney's "pink slip" remark, Perry stated that Romney was certainly worried about pink slips, because Romney had eliminated so many jobs that Romney was worried he would run out of pink slips. Romney's second gaffe occurred when he answered a question about healthcare by saying that he liked "to be able to fire anyone who is providing a service" to him.

Romney's rivals pounced. The irrepressible Perry put a recording of Romney's statement on the answering machine of the phone at his campaign headquarters. John Huntsman stated that "Romney enjoys firing people, I enjoy creating jobs." Because of the controversial practices of Bain Capital, this gaffe has "legs." Even with Romney dropping precipitously, he is still 13 points ahead of any of the other candidates according to the latest polls. He evidently is hoping to run out the clock for a win. It has been a rough four days for Romney, and for his campaign New Hampshire can't be over quickly enough. Paul Schwietering is a former Democratic state central committeeman. He lives in Union Township.

This is evidenced by House Bill 1, which established JobsOhio, a nonprofit entity committed to creating an economic climate suited for job growth. Part of this effort means ensuring that JobsOhio is responsive to businesses and for business leaders to have direct access to provide feedback without the drawbacks of dealing with bureaucracy. Other bills from the past year that were important for job creation include House Bills 58 and 18. H.B. 58 created a tax credit to encourage businesses to stay in Ohio. This bill was instrumental in keeping American Greetings in

Northeast Ohio after the company was considering moving to Illinois. H.B. 18 incentivizes businesses that are growing and needing to relocate to stay in Ohio or, if out of state, come to Ohio and consider locating in a vacant building. There are many vacant buildings throughout Ohio due to a struggling economy and a mass exodus of small and large corporations. By occupying buildings that businesses have left, companies will be entering economies full of citizens that need jobs and are ready to work. Additionally, the influx of new businesses will help to revitalize communities that are currently struggling. As you can see the efforts toward job creation and re-

tention are vast and varied. 2011 was a year of laying the groundwork for the future of Ohio’s economy. In 2012 my colleagues and I will work just as hard to continue to see growth and improvement in the areas of job creation and economic development. Great things were accomplished in 2011, but a new year brings with it the continued opportunity to work on your behalf to improve the current state of affairs. I am optimistic that with the accomplishments of the past year, Ohio is working its way back to the top.

Law: Livestock care standards Continued from page 5 istrative hearing process, which requires a written notice of the proposed action, the opportunity for an evidentiary hearing before an independent hearing officer and the right to appeal any administrative order to the appropriate court of common pleas. Q: What are the possible penalties for violating the standards? A: A violation of the standards is considered a “major” violation if it results in any of the following: imminent peril to the life of the animal, protracted disfigurement, protracted impairment of health or protracted loss or impairment of a limb or bodily organ. All other violations are considered to be “minor.” A major violation may result in a penalty of $1000 to $5000 for a first violation and $5000 to $10,000 for subsequent violations within 60 months. Minor violations may result in a civil penalty of up to

$500 for a first violation and penalties of up to $1000 for subsequent violations within 60 months. Violators may also be assessed the cost of investigation and any necessary animal care. Q: What happens if one violation affects many animals, such as a deficiency in a large housing system? A: Violations affecting multiple animals may be treated as a single violation, depending on the circumstances. Q: Aren’t these issues already covered by animal cruelty laws? A: Mistreatment of livestock may constitute a violation of both the animal cruelty laws and the livestock care standards. However, the livestock care standards are separate from Ohio’s animal cruelty laws and are enforced independently. While the ODA enforces the livestock care

standards, local law enforcement continues to be responsible for enforcing animal cruelty laws. Where do I go Q: with questions or complaints? A: You can direct your questions and complaints to the ODA’s Division of Animal Health at 8995 East Main Street, Reynoldsburg, OH 43068, (614) 728-6220.

Williamsburg Mayor Mary Ann Lefker and Clermont Parks Director Chris Clingman look forward to completion of the Williamsburg to Batavia Hike/Bike Trail.

Rock and Roast supports Clermont Hike/Bike Trail Construction on phase II of the WilliamsburgBatavia Hike/Bike Trail is expected to begin this summer. When completed, the 13mile trail will connect the villages of Williamsburg and Batavia, passing East Fork State Park. “What’s really unique about this trail is that it uses old and existing roadways and is a collaborative effort among the villages, the Clermont Park District, East Fork State Park, the Board of Clermont County Commissioners, Clermont Engineer’s Office, state and local lawmakers,” Williamsburg Mayor Mary Ann Lefker said. “We hope that the community will enjoy the trail and that it will bring additional visitors to the area.” Phase I of the trail opened two years ago. It is 2 1/2 miles long and runs from Broadway Road in Williamsburg to an overlook area near Harsha Lake. “Phase II will reopen Kain Run Road into the East Fork State Park,” said

Clermont Parks Director Chris Clingman. “An OKI transportation enhancement grant with local match monies has been secured to fund the work.” “Because grant dollars are getting harder to obtain, we are hoping the community can help us move forward with Phase III that will complete the trail into Batavia,” Lefker said. “On Saturday, January 21, 2012, we invite the community to attend a Hike/Bike Rock and Roast at Pattison Park, from 6:30 p.m. until 11 p.m.” Pattison Park is located at 2228 US 50, just west of Owensville. For more information about the dinner and dancing event, contact the village of Williamsburg at (513) 724-6107. “It’s great to see so many individuals and families enjoying the trail,” said Lefker. “We are so lucky to have a beautiful park like East Fork in our community. This trail will help even more people enjoy the natural beauty of this area.”

Senator: The housing crisis Continued from page 4 doned homes are stripped of copper and anything else of value. Broken windows are not always boarded up. Busted pipes are not always fixed. According to a Policy Matters Ohio report, one in three Ohio homeowners in 2010 owed more on their loans than their homes were worth. Instead of approving these sorts of “short sales,” banks are foreclosing on homes, but then declining to take possession of them – sometimes because legal fees and maintenance costs often exceed the real estate value. The result is needless evictions – forcing Ohioans from their homes only to have the banks later abandon the property. These socalled “bank walkaways” leave communities – and local taxpayers – to deal with the blight. I’m demanding solutions. Nearly 14 months ago, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a report – that I requested – on bank walkaways. The report found that bank walkaways, though not a common practice nationwide, are concentrated in economically struggling areas and distressed urban areas of particular cities, including those with lowvalue properties and sub-prime loans. Cleveland, Ohio, experienced the third most bank walkaways in the nation, while Akron, Columbus, Dayton, Youngstown, and Toledo were all among the 20 communities with the most abandoned foreclosures. For too long, banking regulators have looked out for the big banks’ bottom lines, at the expense of families in already hard-hit

communities. In December, the Treasury Department’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) issued guidance to the banks instructing them on how to properly walk away from their properties. In response, I wrote to the OCC – which oversees the five largest mortgage servicers – outlining the devastating effect that bank walkaways have on low-income and middle-class families and their neighborhoods. The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland has found that vacant homes in a neighborhood lower surrounding property values by 3.1 percent – in an already sluggish housing market. We need stronger standards that will help keep Ohio families in their homes and protect communities from having to pay thousands in maintenance fees on abandoned homes. In addition to demanding additional action from OCC, I’ve also introduced the Foreclosure Fraud and Homeowner Abuse Prevention Act, which would require mortgage servicers to work with homeowners to modify their mortgage prior to foreclosure. Preventing foreclosures is the best way to protect Ohio communities from the harm caused by abandoned properties. Earlier this month, I met with a Cleveland Heights resident who lost her job after the company she worked for downsized.

Then she lost her home. Jeanette Smith was forced to move to an apartment as the bank initiated foreclosure. But, without alerting her, the bank stopped the Sheriff’s sale. Without being able to back out of the lease, Ms. Smith was hit with a double disadvantage: local vacancy fines for a property she thought she no longer owned and a rent check she now had to pay. If the banks are not willing to work with a struggling homeowner to prevent eviction, then the banks should be accountable for maintaining the foreclosed property. If they don’t, then they should pay a penalty as would a homeowner who allows a roof to collapse or fails to repair broken windows. Ohioans are seeing their property values plummet as abandoned homes on their block or in their neighborhood are stripped literally to their foundations. Meanwhile, local cities and counties are left footing the bill because a bank has abandoned its responsibility. The only party that wins when homes are abandoned is big banks. We should not allow this practice to go on any longer. Now is the time Main Street stops paying for the financial and housing crisis it did not create. Sherrod Brown is a United States Senator from Ohio.

Robinson said they will also play some recorded owl sounds, in hopes of spotting some native birds, including the Eastern screech, barn, barred, and great horned owls. “Not all owls hoot. In fact, many screech, whistle, bark, and even hiss,” said Robinson. “Owls are nocturnal hunters that prey on rodents, small, or medium sized mammals. They also eat fish and other birds.” He said barn owls can eat up to 1,000 mice each year. Many farmers want barn owls in their fields, because they control the

rodent population. “Owl eyes are enormous. If humans had eyes that proportion, they would be the size of softballs,” Robinson said. He said the Winter Night Hike will also feature some ways to identify owls. “The barn owl is sometimes called the ‘monkeyfaced owl’ because it has a white, heart-shaped face that is monkey-like and their head is quite large compared to the rest of their body,” said Robinson. “The barn and the barred owls are the only two species of owls in Ohio that have brown

Marcy’s

eyes; the rest have yellow eyes.” Robinson said screech owls are the most common in Ohio and the smallest of the species. They are about the size of a robin, although they are twice as heavy. “Great horned owls are the largest species in Ohio and can live for several decades,” he said. “They can take large prey for birds, including skunks and cats.” For more information about the Clermont Park District’s Winter Night Hike, call (513) 876-9013.

Nicotine patches, telephone support available for participants If you made a New Year’s resolution to quit smoking in 2012, some free help is available. Adults 18 and older who are currently smoking on a daily basis and live in Clermont County can now participate in the OSU Quit Smoking Project, a research partnership between the Ohio State University College of Public Health and OSU Extension-Clermont. Participants in the study

will receive up to eight weeks of free nicotine patches and telephone support. Those with major health issues or who are pregnant are not eligible for the study. Only 61 people will be admitted to the program, and must commit to participate in the follow-up research, even if they do not quit smoking. The purpose of the study is to find out how effective telephone support and

patches are for smokers in the Appalachian region of Ohio. Participants will be asked a set of questions before they start the project, and there will be a follow-up questionnaire three, six, and 12 months after the beginning of the study. Participants will receive a small gift card after each data collection to thank them for their time. Clermont County is one of six counties in Ohio’s Appalachian region selected to participate in this project over the next several years, partly because

of the high rate of smoking across the area. According to the 2008 Ohio Family Health Survey, 29.6 percent of adults in Clermont County smoke; the statewide smoking rate in Ohio in 2008 was 20.1 percent. The OSU Quit Smoking Project is funded by the National Cancer Institute, which is part of the National Institutes of Health. For additional information, or if you are interested in participating in the project, call Debi Parm at (513) 635-8595.

Pets are getting older DR. DAN MEAKIN, DVM Pets are living longer than ever, but you probably already knew that. Just look at the dogs and cats you know. Chances are they're staying active longer, aging slower, and enjoying more years than the pets you had as a child. Why the difference? Advances in veterinary medicine have a lot to with it, but the best technology in the world is useless without responsible and caring owners. Bringing your pet in for regular wellness visits is the single most important thing you can do to ensure a long and active life. Preventive care and screening are especially critical once your dog or cat reaches the age of 7. That's when many life-threatening conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer begin to develop. These diseases may not produce any symptoms in their early stages (when they're most treatable), so you may not suspect there's problem until your pet is already seriously ill. As with human health, early detection is the key to a lifetime of good health. Here are the most common diseases associated with aging: • Periodontal (tooth and gum) disease • Liver inflammation and degeneration • Kidney failure, stones, and insufficiency • Heart disease • Lung diseases (pneumonia,bronchitis,emphysema) • Arthritis and hip dysplasia • Diabetes • Thyroid problems • Cancer • Ocular (eye) diseases • Digestive disorders Many people mistake disease symptoms for normal signs of aging. Please do not fall into this trap. Aging itself is not a disease

Keep in mind that seemingly minor physical signs or changes in behavior could indicate that your pet is suffering from a painful illness. You don't have to be a vet to know when your pet is sick – you just need to know what to look out for. The sooner you act, the more likely your pet is to make a full recovery. • Signs of illness • Drinking more often • Urinating more often • Change in eating habits • Change in sleeping pattern • Difficulty climbing stairs or jumping • Interacting or responding less with family • Stiffness or limping • Bad breath • Swollen or red gums • Decrease in activity level • Gaining or losing weight • Trembling or shaking • Scratching more often • New lumps and bumps • Changes to coat or skin • Housetraining accidents • Confusion • Acting differently or strangely Remember, any of these symptoms could indicate a serious disease that might become life-threatening by the time more obvious symptoms appear.

Felicity’s fast break runs past Williamsburg BY CHRIS CHANEY Sun staff

Felicity had three players score in double figures as the Cardinals earned a hard-fought victory on the road at Southern Buckeye Conference rival Williamsburg on Friday, Jan. 6. In a game that featured six lead changes and five ties, it looked as if both teams had a good shot at winning, but it was Felicity’s ability to get out on the break and convert easy baskets that kept the Cardinals ahead for most of the second half. Williamsburg opened in a man-to-man defense with strong help-side principles that looked somewhat like an extended zone. The helping man defense seemed to stymie the Cardinals to start, but after Felicity coach Damon Smith called a timeout with 3:47 to go in the first quarter and his team down 7-4, the Cardinals started to run a more

effective offense. Jake Fry, a 5-foot-8 senior guard, kept Felicity in the game almost singlehandily getting to the basket on dribble penetration and stepping out for some mid-range jump shots. “He obviously kept us in the game early on,” Smith said of Fry. “He was unconscious shooting the ball. Plus, he has that quick first step heading to the basket. He had a heck of a game.” Fry scored a team-high 22 points on 9-of-16 shooting. While Fry led the way for Felicity, Williamsburg’s goto guy, Kendal Young had some struggles on the offensive end. “We knew about Kendal coming in,” Smith said. “Even though he didn’t shoot the ball particularly well, he still got his 24 [points]. We tried to double team him and get him in foul trouble because we felt when he was out of the game we had a significant

advantage.” Young went 8-for-21 from the floor, including 0of-6 from three-point range, but he did manage to record a double-double with his 24 points and 10 rebounds. “He can’t make them all, all the time,” Williamsburg head coach Dan McKibben said. “We’ve got to have some other people step up and assume some roles, but it wasn’t our offense that was our issue tonight.” As Young struggled early on, his fellow senior Jacob Herren picked up the slack, going in amongst the trees to get some easy lay ins coupled with drawing some fouls and getting to the foul line. “He got into the paint pretty well in the first half,” McKibben said. “He’s stepped it up this year and we have to rely on him some more for some scoring and he’s shown a lot of improvement.” Trailing 16-13 after the first quarter, Herren led the

Williamsburg charge with nine points in the period as the Wildcats outscored Felicity 21-13 in the second quarter to take a 34-29 half time lead. As McKibben referenced, the offense wasn’t the problem for the Wildcats, it was their inability to slow down the Cardinals getting out on fast breaks, led by senior guard Trevor Shouse. “Our team goes the way Shouse goes,” Smith said. “He’s compatible to one of the best in the conference in my opinion.” Shouse went 7-for-11 from the field for 19 points with most of his field goals coming in the form of layups. In the third quarter, Fry again ignited the Cardinals scoring back-to-back lay ups to cut the Williamsburg lead to one at 34-33 and a xxChristopher PHOTO / CHRIS CHANEY

Sun staff

Coming into their Fort Ancient Valley Conference East Division showdown with Milford on Tuesday, Jan. 3, Glen Este head coach Dave Caldwell knew what the Trojans needed to do to win. “Milford averages about 44 points per game, so we thought if we could keep them close to that number, we would have an opportunity to win,” he said. “Usually, scoring’s not a big problem for us, usually it’s defense.” Glen Este was up to the challenge, playing hardnosed, in-your-face defense with double-teams down low on Milford’s bigger front line to hold off the Eagles in the final seconds, securing a 49-46 win. “It’s three [wins] in a row for us. I’m happy for the kids, they’ve been working hard and it’s been tough starting 1-4, but they kept plugging away,” Caldwell said after the game. “Beating Milford is big, they’re a great team. Beating them is special for our kids and it’s been a great rivalry the past few years.” The win didn’t come easily however, as the Eagles tried to give Glen Este a strong dose of 6-foot-7 senior forward Rob Overbeck early in the first quarter. Milford scored their first two baskets of the game on over-the-top entry passes to Overbeck who, with his size, doesn’t miss too many shots close to the basket. “We wanted to front

[Milford’s big guys] and get weak side help, but we knew they had shooters, so it was going to be a tough thing,” Caldwell said of his team’s defensive strategy. “They scored the first two baskets of the game on lobs because no body helped, but once we straightened that out, we were okay.” After Milford jumped out to their early four-point lead, 6-2, Glen Este started to recognize the Eagles’ bigs posting up and the Trojans were able to anticipate the entry passes to force a couple of turnovers. Once settled in, Glen Este scored three straight baskets to take their first lead of the game at 8-6, but found themselves down four at the end of the first period 12-8. With the home crowd at their back, the Trojans went on an 11-2 run over the first five minutes of the second quarter to take a 19-12 lead. The Eagles were similarly up to the challenge of the conference rivalry game, closing the Trojan lead to 19-17 with 1:47 remaining in the half. Glen Este’s undersized forward, 6-foot-2 Tyler Flanigan answered the Eagles spurt, driving into the lane, drawing a foul and somehow finishing a dispsy-doo layup to give the Trojans a 22-17 lead at the half. The Eagles’ length (three guys stand 6-foot-6 or taller) was always going to be a problem for Glen Este who only has one person listed over 6-foot-3, but the Trojans showed poise on the offensive end against a

pesky and unusual matchup zone, trapping defense implemented by Milford head coach Joe Cambron. “They play a really expanded zone,” Caldwell said. “We were just trying to get some kind of penetration. It ended up, most of our penetration was passing to the high post, turning and getting a lot of baskets from the baseline. “Frankly, it’s not something we work on a lot, but it’s just a couple of kids with a good basketball IQ making some plays.” Glen Este came out of the locker room scoring six of the first eight points to open up a 28-19 lead with 4:15 to go in the third quarter, but Milford responded with an Overbeck layup followed by a Josh Roof jump shot to cut the lead to 28-23. As the time winded down in the quarter, the physicality of the game came to a head with the undersized Trojans battling on the boards with the taller Eagles. Glen Este’s athletic junior guard Austin Rieck went up for a rebound that was grabbed on to by Milford’s 6-foot-8 forward Garrett Mayleben. Mayleben ripped the ball from Rieck with no foul call, much to the displeasure of the home crowd, and kicked it out to Brennen Farrell for an open three-pointer that cut the Glen Este lead to two, 2826. Flanigan ended the Trojan drought with a layup and Rieck put a little more room between the teams as the clock ticked down at the

end of the quarter. Holding for the last shot of the frame, Glen Este gave the ball to Rieck on a dribble hand-off. Rieck had the bigger Mayleben guarding him, but the 6-foot-3 guard elevated above Maybelen’s out-stretched hand to get off a 17-foot jump shot that gave the Trojans a 32-26 lead going into the final quarter. After both teams traded baskets to open the fourth quarter, Overbeck and Maybelen scored on back-toback trips down the floor to cut the Glen Este lead to two, 34-32 with 4:10 remaining. Flanigan took the reigns for the Trojans as he singlehandily answered every Milford attempt to get control of the game scoring six straight points to keep the Trojans’ heads above water. “He’s a very, very underrated player. He’s a sophomore and playing with [Alex] Fultz and Rieck, he’s more of a garbage man,” Caldwell said. “Tonight, he got a chance to play and if some calls would have gone the other way, he might have had 20 points.” The physical play continued on the low blocks as the undersized Trojans tried to out-muscle the bigger Eagles, but Milford was able to chip away at the Glen Este lead getting within one point with the chance to tie as Overbeck scored a basket plus the foul with one minute remaining.

The Milford Lady Eagles combined their balanced offensive attack and full-court pressure, which forced eight turnovers in the first quarter alone, en route to a blowout win over Loveland on Wednesday, Jan. 4, 57-28. “Our press is our strength right now,” Eagles’ head coach Kristi McKenney said following the team’s eighth win of the season. “Each time we step on the floor, we’re getting better and that’s every coaches dream.” Loveland tried to slow down the Lady Eagles early on, playing a compact twothree zone that forced the Milford to be patient in their half-court sets. While the two-three was slowing the game down, it was the press and quick baskets that allowed Milford to jump out to an early 18-2 lead. After a few frustration timeouts, Loveland was able to make some adjustments to better handle the Milford pressure, scoring on a couple offensive sets to end the frame down 12, 208. Unfortunately for Loveland, Milford came out quickly in the second quarter, scoring the first 11 points, extending their lead to 31-8 before the Lady Tigers could get on the scoreboard. “We generate [our quick starts] off of our energy on the defensive end,” McKenney said. “We get those quick steals and everyone just steps up their game.” Also helping Milford out was that Loveland was without two of their regular starters, allowing the Lady Eagles’ 6-foot senior guard

Morgon Wolcott to key in on Loveland’s point guard, Katie Swaine. “Morgan usually guards their best player,” McKenney said. “I try to teach them to take that personal challenge that their player isn’t going to score and [Loveland] didn’t take too many shots, so that fit our game plan to a T.” That defensive pressure allowed Loveland to shoot just 26.3 percent from the field. Wolcott led Milford on the offensive end as well, scoring a game-high 17 points on 8-for-11 shooting from the field. The senior also pulled down seven rebounds and dished out four assists. “Her presence on the floor makes everybody better,” McKenney said. “That’s the bottom line on our team, when she’s on the floor everyone is better.” The Lady Eagles took a 35-16 lead into the locker room and came out in the third quarter as if the game were tied. In an attempt to put the game away for good, the Lady Eagles outscored Loveland 14-4 in the quarter, allowing Coach McKenney the opportunity to sub liberally, getting all of her players some playing time. For the first time all season, Milford was able to get every active player on their roster into the scoring column, something McKenney correlates to the success the Lady Eagles hope to achieve later in the season. “That’s the first time that’s happened. Usually, we have eight or nine scorers.

The beat went on for the Williamsburg Lady Wildcats on Thursday, Jan. 5 as Tara Dennis and Heidi McManus led their team past Southern Buckeye Conference National Division opponent Batavia, 64-34. After a delayed start due to an injury at the end of the junior varsity game that caused the tilt to be called with 22.6 seconds remaining, Batavia, the home side, came out in a press that fell back into a two-three zone. The Lady Bulldogs looked to be out-hustling the Lady Wildcats early on, jumping on some loose balls and converting them into easy buckets. “Our girls are pretty athletic, they work hard and they have heart this year,” Batavia head coach Beth Wolfer said after the game. “They really want to win and we’re improving from where we were last year. We try to get hands on loose balls and double team as much as we can.” Despite the Batavia hustle, the Williamsburg duo of Dennis and McManus showed their mettle, hitting some early three-pointers to get out to a 10-3 lead, but the Bulldogs fought back to close the gap to 10-8 by the end of the quarter. Batavia kept their pressure up in the second quarter, but McManus turned into a one-man-press break. “If she’s not in the ball game, we’re not a very good team,” Williamsburg head coach Ken Lowe said. “You know how much she means to us by the way she’s able to handle the ball and the way she sees things. She’s got good vision over the floor.” Wolfer was impressed by the strides McManus has made over the past year in terms of her ball handling skills. “I think [our press] did a

good job, but McManus, from where she was last year to this year, I didn’t think she could handle the ball that well.” As McManus handled the pressure, Batavia was scrambling to get back and find the Williamsburg shooters. Dennis, a 6-foot senior forward, showed her versatility, going both inside and out, scoring 12 second quarter points that included two-three pointers. McManus added seven points in the quarter that saw the Lady Wildcats outscore Batavia 21-7 to take a 31-15 halftime lead. For all the hard work the Lady Bulldogs put in, Williamsburg made them pay for even their slightest mistake, making seemingly every open shot they looked at. “This is the first game that we really shot well from the floor. This is the best we’ve shot all year,” Lowe said. “We shared the ball. It wasn’t like Tara and Heidi had to do it all. Today was a great team effort.” Williamsburg made sure they put the game out of reach early on in the third quarter and again, it was Dennis and McManus leading the way, combining for 13 points in the quarter. Unfortunately for the Lady Bulldogs, the Williamsburg run coincided with a scary moment for freshman Sam McElfresh who landed awkwardly on her bad knee. “She had ACL surgery and she came back after five months,” Wolfer said. “She landed on her knee cap. She’s having some tightness in her leg muscle anyway, so I hope it’s not a serious injury.” With the game out of reach by the end of the third quarter, both teams were able to tinker with their lineups and strategies. Williamsburg was able to get some players from the end of the bench some

quality playing time against an active press and Batavia was able to get some game experience with their halfcourt sets. With the 64-34 win, Williamsburg improved to 6-4 on the season, winning six of their last seven games after dropping the first three to open the season. “When we have a point guard like Heidi McManus who stays out of foul trouble, we’re going to be a really good team,” Lowe said of what has changed since staring 0-3. “As a coaching staff, we’ve changed some things around that is beneficial to these kids. Because of the changes that we

made, it makes our team better than we have been and there is a better understanding amongst the kids. They have faith and belief in themselves and right now they’re truly believing in themselves and playing well.” Williamsburg had a week off and will travel to Blanchester on Thursday, Jan. 12 to face the 5-4 Lady Wildcats. As for Batavia, Wolfer believes that their slow start is the cause of a tough early season schedule and expects production to pick up down the home stretch of the season. “Our first half of the season was more difficult

[with the teams we’ve played], so I feel like the beginning of the season, we had our toughest games,” Wolfer said. “We have nine more games and from here on out I feel like we have some winnable games.” Batavia was back in action on Tuesday, Jan. 10 at Amelia and will play at Felicity on Thursday, Jan. 12.

Milford dropped to 3-4 overall and 2-1 in the FAVC, but the Eagles bounced back with a 55-41 win over Anderson on Friday, Jan. 6 to get back to .500 on the year.

Milford’s Bridget Rheude shoots a three-pointer against Loveland on January 4. Rheude, a sophomore, scored three points in the game.

Everybody’s been getting in there and playing solid minutes for us,” McKenney said. “For us to win the FAVC or even go far in the tournament, we need a bench and they’ve been wonderful, all 11 players.” The Lady Eagles went on to win 57-28 led by Wolcott’s 17, but McKenney credits the entire group of seniors – Wolcott, Kelly Yee, Joanna Eppers and Kristen Knight – for the 8-1 start. “They are a group of seniors that their leadership so far, they deserve to win and you can see it in their game,” McKenney said. Yee scored four points, Knight had two and Eppers was out with an illness. The Lady Eagles fell to

Kings 37-36 on Saturday, Jan. 7 to drop to 8-2 on the season, but they currently sit in third place in the Fort Ancient Valley East Division with a 5-2 league record. Loveland dropped to 2-6 with the loss on Wednesday and then fell to 2-7 with another loss to Turpin on Jan. 7., 55-28. The Lady Eagles were back in action on Wednesday, Jan. 11 when they traveled to Little Miami to take on the 2-9 Lady Panthers.

From page B1 again ignited the Cardinals scoring back-to-back lay ups to cut the Williamsburg lead to one at 34-33 and a Christopher Smith threepointer with 3:25 left to knot the game up at 38. On Felicity’s next possession, Shouse broke out ahead of the pack to lay in an easy basket and give the Cardinals their first lead since early in the second quarter. Even though many of his shots weren’t falling, Young used his athleticism to get to the basket and draw fouls on Felicity, keeping Williamsburg within striking distance, trailing 42-40 after three quarters. However, the Cardinals wouldn’t give up their lead and with the shots not falling for the Wildcats, Felicity began to pull away early in the fourth quarter. Williamsburg’s Max Madsen did his best to keep his team in the game, hitting cluth three-pointers when it seemed as if Felicity were poised to milk the game away. Forced to put on their full-court press to try and create turnovers, Williamsburg was burned a few times by the Felicity press break. “We [press] to catch them off guard a little bit,” McKibben said. “We don’t have the depth to do it the whole game, but we try to pick our spots.” With control of the ball, Felicity forced Williamsburg to send them to line. Smith, Shouse, Fry and Jake Jones put the game on ice going 14-for-17 from the line in the fourth quarter to keep the Wildcats at an arm’s length. The loss dropped Williamsburg to 2-6 on the year and 1-2 in the SBC. Their inconsistency has seen them win a game, then drop a few, win a game and drop a few more, so what needs to change? “That’s the million dollar question, isn’t it?” McKibben said. “We have to continue working hard and seeing where are deficiencies are and trying to improve on that.” Williamsburg played Amelia on Tuesday, Jan. 10 and the Wildcats will face Batavia on Friday, Jan. 13. Smith feels like Felicity is improving on their deficiencies as the win marks their second straight. “This is the third game we’ve played well in, even though we lost the one,” Smith said. “We decided to play as a team, we’ve had good team scoring and everyone is playing well, even the guys coming off the bench. I can’t start everyone, but if they earn it they’ll play.” Felicity’s win streak ended at two as the Cardinals fell to Amelia on Saturday, Jan. 7. They were back in action on Tuesday, Jan. 10 as they hosted Goshen.
