prostitution charges Tuesday

BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff

Former Clermont County Commissioner Archie Wilson, who was charged Feb. 3 for soliciting prostitution and trafficking in a controlled substance in Kentucky, pleaded not guilty to the charges at Kenton

County District Court Feb. 14. Wilson appeared in front of Judge Ann Ruttle around 9:30 a.m. with his attorney Bob Lotz. After he announced his plea, Judge Ruttle scheduled his next court appearance for 9 a.m. March 15. According to Susan Top-

miller, public information officer for Kenton County Attorney’s Office, a warrant for Wilson’s arrest was issued after the misdemeanor charges were filed Feb. 3, however, since he appeared for his arraignment Feb. 14, the warrant was not served. Wilson resigned from his position on the Board of County Commissioners the day before the charges were filed by the Kenton County Attorney’s Office and Kentucky State Police in North-

ern Kentucky. According to Clermont County Sheriff Tim Rodenberg, the investi- Wilson gation stemmed from information detectives received from a Clermont County Jail inmate in June of 2011, who said Wilson had provided

her drugs and money in return for sex while he was commissioner. The sheriff’s report, which was dated June 22, 2011, said inmate Amanda Lay wished to speak with a detective about information she had on a prostitution ring after seeing Wilson’s photo in a newspaper while she was in jail. The report explained that Lay told detectives Wilson See Wilson, Page A3

Governor Kasich visits company in Batavia Township Signs executive order to help with workforce development BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff

Governor John Kasich visited Batavia Township Feb. 9 to welcome Global Scrap Management to the former Ford plant and also sign an executive order to help workforce development. “I am excited anytime I am in a facility like this,”

Governor Kasich said about the space being utilized by Global Scrap Management. “The sign says manufacturing is coming alive.” Global Scrap Management, which began in 2003 as an aluminum brokerage company in Milford, has grown into a company that shreds, separates and removes aluminum from chips creating a product that

is ready to melt. The new facility, located in Batavia Township, will be used as the location to melt chips and other grades of aluminum scraps into alloy ingot and other products. “We are excited to be here and excited about the prospect for the former Ford facility,” Chris Hamm, president of GSM said about the new location. “It is great for us and what we do.” And not only does the fa-

cility give GSM additional space to operate, it also allows for the company to hire up to 40 new employees. “We have 16 coming in and will grow until the end of the summer,” Hamm said. Hamm said that the difficulty with hiring people to work at the facility is GSM needs employees to have specific skills for the industry. Skills that may not reSee Kasich, Page A3

Batavia Local School District administrators were forced to cancel school at Batavia Elementary Feb. 7 and 8 due to a problem with the boiler. “A pipe coming off the steam boiler broke,” Superintendent Jill Grubb said. “The pipe broke in the crawl space but the steam traveled up under the roof and the ceiling tiles were collecting moisture.” Grubb said the incident happened sometime Sunday night, and while at first the problem only affected several classrooms, once water collected in the ceiling tiles throughout the building extensive maintenance and cleaning had to be done. “The tiles had to be removed to allow everything to dry,” Grubb said. She said an outside agency fixed the broken pipe and custodians and maintenance workers removed and cleaned the ceiling tiles. She also said the district had an air quality test completed so they could make sure the building was safe for the students to return. Grubb said students returned to school Feb. 9, but some classes were moved to other rooms in the building

Three Republican candidates are running for 66th District State Representative in the March 6 primary election, all hoping to take the place of current State Rep. Joseph Uecker, who is unable to run because of term limits. Doug Green, Rick Herron, and Nick Owens, will all be on the March 6 ballot along with Ken McNeely, Jr., an unopposed Democrat. Doug Green, of Brown County, has served as that county’s auditor since 1998. Prior to that he served as the recorder for more than 10 years and also served as the secretary of the Brown County Records Commission for 14 years. “I know what it takes to balance a budget, I understand our tax system and the burden it places on our residents,” Green said. “I am a lifelong resident of this area, I understand its issues and what matters most to

people who live here.” Green said he decided to run for state representative because he realized that in order to help fix problems in his community, he would have to first help fix problems in Columbus and Washington D.C. “I decided that if I wanted to make a difference for the people of the 66th district, I needed to go to the source,” Green said. Green said a key issue facing the district and the state right now is jobs. He said he does not believe the government should create jobs, but does believe the government should help provide an environment where jobs can be created. To accomplish this if elected, Green said he would work with the governor and the legislature to enact reforms that have been proposed, specifically the JobsOhio plan. He also said he would work also work to streamline the Bureau of Worker’s Compensation. “We have to hold the line

on taxes and spending, we have to streamline state regulations and promote job creation,” Owens Green said. “If elected, I will regularly meet with business owners and job creators in the district Herron so that I can take their issues directly to Columbus.” Rick Herron, of Tate Township, Green is also running for state representative with ideas of changing things for the district and state. Herron is currently an independent computer consultant and also owns a farm where he raises sheep

and miniature donkeys. He served in the United States Navy for six years, spending most of his time as a medical corpsman. And while he has not been directly involved in politics, Herron said he has studied government, economics and the nations founding documents most of his adult life. “Based on these documents I understand the proper role of government,” Herron said. “My approach is one of getting back to basics: limited government, lower taxes, less regulation, fiscal responsibility.” Herron agreed that jobs are an issue in the district and state. He said the government can’t create jobs, but sales can, and the only thing the state can do about jobs is remove the barriers to citizens who make sales. “Those barriers being personal and corporate income tax, property tax, regulation and the cost thereof,” Herron said. In addition, Herron said, the state needs to eliminate borrowing and work to move the point of tax collection from before a sale to after a sale. “Taxing after the sale

puts our citizens at a competitive advantage by removing the hidden costs embedded in the price or our products,” he said. Herron also said he believes educational funding in the state should change and should be in the form of vouchers so parents can educate their children the way they choose. “I am an average citizen who loves liberty and is dumbfounded by our nation’s headlong rush into socialism, bankruptcy, and the eventual tyranny that must surely follow,” Herron said. “I am running for this office in the hope that I can do my part to reverse this national suicide.” The third Republican candidate in the primary election is Nick Owens, a lifelong resident of Batavia who is currently attending University of Dayton School of Law. “The reason I am running is because I deeply care about the community where I am from,” Owens said. “I have the education, legislative experience and the passion to get the job done from day one.” Candidates, Page A3

had paid her money to have sex or perform sex acts with him. She said Wilson would call her cell phone, set up a pick-up location and they would go to a motel in Erlanger, Ky., where she would book a room. Lay told detectives Wilson would bring drugs, in the form of cocaine and pills, to give to her, and for his own consumption. Wilson would also give Lay money to pay for a room under the fictitious name “Tiffney Fee.” Lay said the meetings went on for several weeks and also said Wilson drove an SUV with license plate number OH FFA-6482 when he came to pick her up. The report said the plates were registered to Midwestern Plumbing, a business Wilson is part owner of. In addition, the report said Sergeant Chris Stratton of the sheriff’s office made contact with one of the motel clerks in Erlanger Ky., who said she remembered the SUV as well as an older male and young female renting a room. The clerk said she thought it was odd, and also wrote down OH FFA-6482 as the license plate number. “Our investigators immediately followed up on this

and within a week or so concluded that none of the alleged activity occurred in Clermont County, but rather, in Northern Kentucky,” Sheriff Rodenberg said in an email. Sheriff Rodenberg said after making this determination, the case was transferred from the sheriff’s office to Kentucky State Police, who continued the in-

vestigation. “From that point forward we had no further involvement in the investigation,” Sheriff Rodenberg said. He said in the email release that his office did receive updates about the case as the investigation continued and received word from officials in Kentucky that charges had been filed Feb. 3.

The Kenton County Attorney’s Office announced Feb. 8 that the charges had been filed against Wilson Friday, Feb. 3 for soliciting prostitution and trafficking a controlled substance. The release also stated that Amanda Lay said Wilson had encounters with many others.

The new office will report to the governor and will be responsible for coordinating workforce policies, programs and resources.

Owens graduated from Batavia High School in 2003 and was enrolled in University of Cincinnati Clermont College during his junior and senior year. He graduated from the University of Cincinnati College of Business when he was 20 years old. After graduating, Owens volunteered to help with Republican campaigns and became a staff assistant to Congresswoman Jean Schmidt. Owens transferred to Washington D.C., where he was promoted to legislative corespondent, and after several years decided to return to Ohio to work on his law degree. “As a first generation college graduate in my family, I think it is important to have a college education,” Owens said. “And I am the only one in the race who does.” Owens said being able to get things done from day one is crucial coming in as a new representative. He said his experience and familiarity with the government, in addition to the work he is

Mon.-Fri. 9-5 • Sat. 12-5

already doing, will enable him to make progress. “Unfortunately, politicians and government officials behave in ways that are reactive and not proactive,” Owens said. “With term limits, it is vital you have someone in office that is effective from day one. I am going to be that squeaky wheel for my constituents.” Owens said he is already working to create dialog with officials about issues the district faces, which include jobs, duplicate services, issues with roads and infrastructure and more. “I certainly think jobs are the number one priority,” Owens said. “More needs to be done.” He said while he can’t promise he can create jobs, he said would work tirelessly if elected to help enable businesses to locate in Ohio and create a business climate without as many regulations. In addition, Owens said improving infrastructure and making changes to roads and interstates throughout Ohio will benefit the state and help create an improved climate.

“Just Monday I sent a letter to ODOT (Ohio Department of Transportation),” Owens said. “We need to fix US 68 and state Route 32. I cannot be starting a dialog six months into office, I need the ODOT director to know who Nick Owens is.” Owens said he would also like reduce duplicative services in the state and work to create a framework so local governments could work together and be rewarded for collaboration and consolidation. “It has to be revising the Ohio Revised Code and it has to be being more competitive than the states next to you, it has to be having a more educated work force,” Owens said about what it takes to make improvements. Owens said that while he is only 27, his youth means energy, new ideas and new perspectives for his district. “In a primary election, whatever the party, you are going to be similar,” Owens said. “You have to peel back the onion and look at who is going to get it done from day one.”

At the Feb. 13 board meeting, Grubb and other board members thanked staff members and teachers for all the work they did cleaning things up so children could get back in the building. “I know it was stressful there for a couple days,” Michael Enriquez, board president, said. The board also discussed the age of the building and the consequences of unexpected repairs. “The pipe broke just due to normal wear and tear,” Grubb said. “They are somewhere between 20 and 30 years old. You look at the age of the buildings, it is hard to predict when the next pipe is going to break.” The district will be holding a community meeting to discuss some of these problems, as well as others at 7 p.m. Tuesday Feb. 21 in the gym at Batavia Elementary School.

I admire Don White's courage in supporting Scott, but even more the

fortitude Don White showed by following the law in the Slaby case, even though the public backlash was unfairly vitriolic. We do not elect a prosecutor to do what is popular; we elect him or her to follow the law.

A mysterious encounter at Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza Yvonne and I often spend long weekends visiting Sharon and Bob, our good friends that live in Knoxville. We call their home our Tennessee B&B. While visiting with Sharon and Bob last November we finalized plans to get away for a week in February by taking a cruise out of New Orleans to Yucatan, Mexico. Yvonne has read a lot about the Mayan culture, particularly about the mystery of the Mayan calendar that foretells the "end of the age" on Dec. 21, 2012, so we were especially looking forward to visiting the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza. When we arrived at Chichen Itza last Wednesday, we were delighted to discover that our tour guide, Julian, was a direct descendant of the Mayan people and had actually worked with several famous archeologists in the early 1970s, when research was still being conducted on part of the ruins. Julian (pronounced Hulian) showed us the giant temple pyramid and the major structures surrounding it, as he de-

In his talk he had described a sacred well that springs up from an underground river, and which for centuries had

served as the primary source of water for the Mayan people in this region. He explained that because the well was located at the end of a difficult trail at the westernmost end and the ruins, only the hardiest hikers could reach it and be back at the tour bus within an hour. Naturally, I struck out for the well, sure that I would have no problems. At first the trail was open and easy to follow, but I soon found myself brushing back the leafy branches of the undergrowth and trying my best not to trip on the rocks and tree roots that jutted up from the trail. The foliage became so dense at one point that I thought I had lost the trail, but as I stepped around a large tree the trail cleared and I found myself at the edge of a small clearing. Rays of sunlight streamed through the trees and glistened on a shallow pool of water near the edge of the clearing. I had found the well. The water was crystal clear and gazing into it made me thirsty. I knew

Let’s make 2012 the Year of Manufacturing in the US You may not know Elizabeth Williams personally, but you know someone like her. Elizabeth Williams is a single mother of two living in North Jackson who has worked at General Motors’ Lordstown plant for 17 years. One of her sons, Zachary, dreams of becoming a state highway patrolman. Though he’s only in high school, he works as a part-time dispatcher for the Columbiana Police Department after school. Her other son, Bryan, is an iron worker who’s stayed in the Mahoning Valley and is working on building V&M Star Steel’s new $650 million expansion in Youngstown. Every year, Senators and Members of Congress are allotted one guest ticket for the State of the Union address. Last week, Elizabeth Williams attended President Obama’s address as my

SHERROD BROWN UNITED STATES SENATOR guest – because she and her family symbolize exactly how important manufacturing is to Ohio and to our nation. The most recent jobs report noted 23,000 manufacturing jobs were added in December, affirming that manufacturing is critical to an economic recovery. Yet as we’ve seen with the auto rescue, there is a role for government to work alongside the private sector in supporting manufacturing. Rescuing the auto industry was about saving American manufacturing and preventing Ohio from entering a depression. It wasn’t just about three companies in Detroit, but about the

hundreds of suppliers and thousands of workers – like Elizabeth – that are the backbone of Ohio’s economy. Today, plants from Toledo to Defiance to Youngstown are hiring workers. The Chevy Cruze—which Elizabeth helps assemble at Lordstown—is one of the hottest selling cars in America. And as new data from the Center for Automotive Research reveals, we are seeing jobs retained and created in the auto and manufacturing sectors. Between 2009 and 2010, we added more than 3,000 new auto jobs in Ohio. By 2015, Ohio will add 3,500 new jobs on top of that. But much more needs to be done. Last year, following the State of the Union, I called on the President to give manufacturing the attention

FLASHBACKS

Commissioner Ed Humphrey passes the ceremonial presidential gavel to Commissioner Bob Proud.

Proud Elected Clermont Commission President Bob Proud will serve as president of the Board of Clermont County Commissioners for calendar year 2012. Ed Humphrey will serve as vice president. They were elected during the annual BCC reorganization meeting on Monday, Jan. 9. “As we enter 2012, I am optimistic that our economy will continue to recover,” said Commissioner Proud, who is in his sixth term as a county commissioner. “We, as a county, face many challenges in this new year. We will continue to work with the private sector in creating a businessfriendly environment for the creation of jobs.” Commissioner Humphrey added that transportation improvements across the county are a big catalyst when it comes to bringing new jobs into the county. “We need to continue to work with the

state, townships, and communities to improve transportation,” said Humphrey. “Better roadways drive job creation and growth.” He cited several local businesses that have recently announced plans to grow, including Jungle Jim’s, TQL, and TCS. “These three businesses will contribute to thousands of new jobs in the county,” he said. “I anticipate even more announcements of job creation in the county over the next few months.” The BCC will meet at 10 a.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays in 2012. All meetings will be held in the third floor session room of the Clermont County Administration Building, located at 101 E. Main Street in Batavia. For a detailed agenda, visit the commissioner’s website at www.bcc.ClermontCountyOhio.gov or call (513) 7327300.

Female farmers invited to workshops Female farmers in Clermont, Brown, Adams, Highland, and surrounding counties are invited to attend a series of workshops called Annie’s Project, designed to help them network with other farm women, and learn how to better manage, market, and grow their businesses. The workshops will be held for six weeks, beginning Feb. 29. The classes begin at 5:30 p.m. and run until around 9 p.m.; they will be held in the Community Center at Western Brown High School, located at 476 W. Main Street in Mt. Orab. Classes begin with a light dinner and the series costs $60. “Female farmers have a lot of duties to juggle, including tending the farm, being a mom and wife, and oftentimes holding down a fulltime job off-site,” said Ohio State University Extension Clermont Educator Gigi Neal. “This series of workshops will help female farmers learn how to create a business plan, better market their product, and learn how to reduce stress.” Since 2000, over 5,000 female farmers have attended Annie’s Project workshops across the country. This is the

first time it’s been offered in this region. “The program was developed in tribute to Annie, a woman who grew up in a small community, married, then spent the rest of her life learning how to be an involved business partner with her farmer husband,” said Neal. “Annie’s daughter developed the program to help all women affiliated with the farm industry.” According to a recent census by the United States Department of Agriculture, women have a growing presence in agriculture. Female farm operators increased 19 percent from 2002 through 2007. The USDA census reports that women are now the principal operators of 14 percent of the nation’s 2.2 million farms. For more information about the Annie’s Project workshops, contact OSU Extension Clermont educator Gigi Neal at (513) 732-7070 or email neal.331@osu.edu. To register for the workshops, send a $60 check payable to OSU Extension; mail to OSU Extension, Clermont County, Annie’s Project, Box 670, Owensville, Ohio 45160.

Former Sun editor wins writing award

New truck reroute may ease I-275 traffic

Former Clermont Sun publisher Dave Roberts received second prize in Class 9, Original Columns, at the Osman C. Hooper Newspaper Show Friday at the 39th annual convention of the Ohio Newspaper Association, Columbus. This is the second consecutive year Roberts, now outdoor writer for the Cincinnati Post & TimesStar, has received the second prize laurels for his column. Jack Schweibold, of the School of Journalism, Bowling Green State University, judged the class. Other winners were Russell McCormick, the Tri-County News Gahanna, first prize, Muriel Hardy, Berea News Sun, third prize, Jane Robinson, the Spectator (Eastern Edition), Columbus, honorable mention; and Martha Towns, the Herald Sun, Chagrin Falls, honorable mention.

Travelers along Interstate 275 in Clermont County may soon see a slight difference in the number of trucks on the interstate, following a decision by Kentucky officials last week which eases a truck traffic reroute. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet meeting last week in Frankfort, approved a revision to the traffic reroute from Interstate 75 in Kentucky. The reroute, imposed by Governor Martha Layne Collins in July, increased truck traffic on I-275 about 95 percent. The re-route was imposed by Collins as a means of keeping large trucks off the portion of I-75 known as “Death Hill.” The portion winds from Ft. Wright, Kentucky, to the Ohio River and has been the scene for a number of traffic fatalities involving cars and large trucks during the past several years. The revision, approved without objection by Cabinet members, will allow trucks with a destination that is within two miles north of I-275 between U.S. 22 and U.S. 27 to travel I-75 through Cincinnati. The change is expected to reduce the number of trucks along I275 in Clermont County by between 50-80 each day.

Council will discuss problems of jobless The Clermont County Community Council will sponsor a meeting on the problems of the unemployed in the county on Feb. 24 at 7:30 p.m. at the Cincinnati Gas & Electric Auditorium, 92 S. 4th St., Batavia. Last summer the unemployment percentage for Clermont County was 18.9 percent, in October, 1971, it was 14.3 percent. Because of the high unemployment in the county, $1,113,000 was awarded to the county under the Emergency Employment Act. This money has been administered out of the Service Center under the direction of Harold Kremplen. The office has received approximately 1,500 applications for jobs and about 270 persons have been employed under this program. Jim Taylor, who assists in the EEA program, will be present to answer any questions. Eddie Campbell, who works with the AFL CIO Human Resources Development Institute, will also be present. The public is invited.

Zimmer switch to coal may get decision soon The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is expected to announce March 16 whether it will approve a permit to allow the William H. Zimmer Nuclear Power Station to become coal-firing. The final environmental impact statement prepared by the Corps was released last week, and it raises no objection to the conversion of the Moscow power station. The statement said the conversion would have a positive impact on employment and income in the area, with approximately 165 new employees being added at the station. The statement also addressed concerns for air quality, water quality and wildlife. The statement, while stating that there would be an affect on wildlife population namely two mussel beds in the Ohio River - there

would be no significant problems with water and air quality.

15 Years Ago February 20, 1997 Milford church marks Black History Month For the 10th year, members of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Milford marked Black History Month with music, poems, and words of hope and encouragement during a Sunday evening service. The church members also reprised their award-winning exhibit of the history of the African people in America, as they have each year. The display includes photographs, art, literature, and information ranging from the Africans coming to America on the first slave ships to the accomplishments of the youth of today’s church. The speaker for the program was Thomas Graves, a member of the church and one of the people instrumental in researching the church’s “A Walk Through Black History” display. Graves said the struggle for freedom and justice continues into the future, and added that the struggle can be fulfilled only through education and faith. Graves recounted some of the hard work and resulting accomplishments of black people over the years beginning with the early history of the United States. Blacks have fought just as hard as whites to defend their nation, he said.

Legendary Run closer to approval Legendary Run, a single family housing development which has been controversial in Pierce Township since 1994, is inching closer to becoming a reality. Jim Sullivan, vice president of Great Traditions Developers, said the company reached a settlement with Pierce Township last week after filing litigation against the township. “The zoning was not what was needed to preserve objectives the township wanted to see,” Sullivan said. The settlement, and Great Traditions’ subsequent withdrawal of a rezoning request, cancels a hearing by the township zoning commission, which was scheduled for 7:30 p.m. tonight in township hall.

Q: What does it mean to be “competent to stand for trial?” A: According to a 1960 U.S. Supreme Court ruling (Dusky v. United States), a defendant in a criminal proceeding is competent to stand trial if the person has a rational understanding of the proceedings and can rationally assist in his or her own defense. In general, this means that defendants must understand the charges that they face and the consequences of proceeding with a trial, and they must be able to make rational deci-

LAW YOU CAN USE OHIO STATE BAR

sions in their own defense, either by communicating with an attorney or by representing themselves. If a defendant cannot do both of those things, then the state is not allowed to prosecute them. Q: Does this ruling apply to juveniles? A: Yes. The U.S. Supreme Court never said

that competency was only for adults. During the 1960s, the Court made several rulings that applied certain provisions of the U.S. Constitution to children. The Court said that state prosecutors had to apply the constitutional principle of “due process” to juvenile defendants. Part of the legal definition of ?due process? includes a requirement that proceedings are fundamentally fair. It would be unfair and, thus, a violation of due process, to prosecute anyone who could not understand what was happening.

Every state has recognized a juvenile’s right to be competent before proceeding with a juvenile adjudication. Q: Does this ruling apply in Ohio, too? A: Yes. In the 1980s, defense attorneys who represented juveniles in Ohio began to ask judges to determine if some of their clients were competent. In response, many of Ohio’s appeals courts ruled that the right not to be tried while incompetent is as fundamental in juvenile proceedings as in adult

criminal trials. This past summer, Ohio’s legislature passed a law that defined juvenile competency. Q: What does Ohio law say about juvenile competency? A: Ohio law says, “A child is incompetent if, due to mental illness, intellectual disability, or developmental disability, or otherwise due to a lack of mental capacity, the child is presently incapable of understanding the nature and objective of proceedings against the child, or of assisting in the child’s de-

Continued from page 4 better than to drink from the well so I slipped my backpack from my shoulder and pulled out a bottle of water. I twisted the cap off and lifted the bottle to take a drink, but was suddenly startled by a rustling sound coming from the shadows near the well. I paused and watched as a gnarled stooped shouldered old man slowly stepped into the clearing. There seemed to be no need for fear, but I eyed him closely as he moved toward the pool of water. He couldn’t have stood more than four feet tall and his face was ruddy red and weathered from the sun. He was barefoot and wore only an old t-shirt and ragged khaki shorts. As he approached the well, he slipped a small leather knapsack from his shoulder and pulled out half of a coconut shell. I watched intently as he slowly stooped over, scooping water from the well. As he stood and began to drink from the coconut shell, he looked in my direction and was surprised by my presence. I lifted my bottle in the air as though making a toast of friendship and then took a long drink myself. He gestured back flashing an almost toothless smile, then began to walk toward me. It was then that I noticed a stone attached to a leather strap hanging from his neck. It was thin, about three inches in diameter, and appeared to have a hieroglyphic image of the sun with a series of little dots in a straight line on each side of the sun. I assumed the dots represented the alignment of the planets and might have something to do with the Mayan calendar ending in December 2012. The old man’s eyes followed mine as I pointed to the stone. With a questioning look I simply asked, “End time?” I could tell that he didn’t understand my words but he seemed to intuitively understand that I was asking about the symbols on the stone. Without speaking he turned and looked toward the sunlight that was still shining through the canopy. He slowly raised his arms toward the sunlight and began chanting in a rhythmic cadence. As he did, he

waved his arms in large circles several times then clapped his hands with a loud bang and lowered his arms to his side. For a moment we stood together in hushed silence. I realized he was trying to convey the mystery represented by the symbols on the stone he wore around his neck, and I was sure that it had something to do with what may happen when the Mayan calendar ends in December 2012. He could see from the puzzled look on my face that I didn’t understand his chanting and gestures. Without speaking he slowly slipped the stone necklace over his head and placed it in my hand. Then he pointed to my backpack on the ground beside me. I gave him an inquisitive look. Was he offering to trade his stone necklace containing the mystery of the Mayan Calendar for my backpack? I reached down, picked up my backpack, and handed it to him. He gave me another toothless smile then disappeared back into the shadows of the forest as quickly as he had appeared. I slipped the stone necklace into my pocket and quickly retraced my steps, arriving back at the tour bus just minutes before it was time to leave. Yvonne was waiting for me and as we found our seats she asked, “Where’s your backpack?” “Oh, I traded it for this,” I said, reaching into my pocket for the stone necklace. But it wasn’t there. I jumped from my seat and checked all of my pockets. The stone necklace was gone. My heart sank as I sat down and tried to explain my encounter with the little man at the sacred well, and how I had traded my backpack for his mysterious stone, which I was sure contained the secret of the Mayan calendar. “Oh good grief” Yvonne said, “You lost your backpack and you’re making up another one of those silly backpack stories to cover it up. Never mind, I’ll buy you a new one.” I realized there was nothing I could say that would cause her to believe me so I pulled my hat down over my eyes and went to sleep.

Schmidt: Ohio jobs Continued from page 4 $300 million research, development, and demonstration program that could lead to a loan guarantee needed to bring this technology to fruition. Right now, the entire country is worried about jobs and the economy. Everyone, it seems, knows someone who has been laid off, had work hours cut, lost

their home, or is thinking about filing for bankruptcy. As President Obama was leaving after his speech, he passed by me again. Don’t forget about those jobs in Southern Ohio, I said. “I haven’t,” he said. And neither will I. Jean Schmidt is the U.S. Congresswoman serving Ohio’s Second District.

it rightly deserves. Our manufacturers face a slew of challenges right now. According to a recent report, the U.S. has lost 28 percent of its high-technology manufacturing jobs over the last decade. Manufacturers across Ohio and our country are facing a flood of cheap Chinese imports— often priced artificially low due to currency manipulation. And in December, a federal appeals court ruled that the United States cannot place tariffs on subsidized imports from countries like China—the same tariffs that have helped create jobs at dozens of companies, like V&M Star Steel, where Elizabeth’s son Bryan is hard at work So the question is: how can we strengthen manufacturing? That starts with enforcing trade law, which may be the best jobs plan that doesn’t cost taxpayers one cent. Last year, the biggest bipartisan jobs bill to pass the Senate was my Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Reform Act of 2011, a bill to crack down on China’s unfair currency manipulation. Currency manipulation is an illegal trade practice in which the Chinese government intentionally devalues its own currency against the United States dollar, giving its exports a price advantage. Though my bill cleared the Senate by a bipartisan vote of 63-35, leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives have yet to bring it to the floor for a vote. That vote is long overdue – and I urge my colleagues in the House to take up this bill as soon as possible. I’ve also been working with the Administration – as well as workers, educators, businesses, and manu-

facturers across Ohio – to develop a national manufacturing strategy. Last year, with Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL), I introduced the National Manufacturing Strategy Act of 2011, which seeks to increase manufacturing jobs, identify emerging technologies to enhance U.S. competitiveness, and strengthen the manufacturing sectors in which the U.S. is most competitive. And finally, we must work to add 21st-century manufacturing jobs in Ohio – and ensure that our workers have the skills to fill those positions. I’ve long called for the renewal of a research & development tax credit known as the Advanced Manufacturing Tax Credit, or 48C. This credit has already helped many Ohio companies create jobs and transition to the clean energy economy. I’ve also called for the passage of the Strengthening Employment Clusters to Organize Regional Success (SECTORS) Act, which would help workers train for hightech jobs in their region. By tailoring workforce development to the needs of regional, high-growth industries, more workers will receive jobs and more businesses will be attracted to the region based. We may never replace all the manufacturing jobs that we’ve lost – but we can stand up for our workers. We should do everything we can to create the conditions that can create the jobs they need and that our country needs. We should do everything we can to show once again that manufacturing is the backbone to our economy and our middle class.

Schwietering: Santorum Continued from page 4 conservative as any of the other candidates, but evidently the conservatives in the Republican Party don’t trust Romney to adhere to the positions he has taken during this primary once the conventions are over and the general election begins. Santorum is well-positioned to benefit from any mistrust of Romney, because Santorum has always been conservative all of his life. In fact, Santorum’s problem may be that he is too conservative to win a presidential election. When Romney moves farther to the right on any given issue, people take it for granted that he will race back to the center once the convention is over, and thus contend for the vital “swing” vote. As a result, no one takes Romney’s newfound conservatism very seriously

Pets of the Week

(particularly on social issues) and it certainly is not considered an impediment in the general election. By contrast, Santorum’s farright positions (he is, for example, opposed to contraception) are taken very seriously because they are what he has always espoused and people believe that these positions would be the policies of a Santorum administration. Aside from the fact that Santorum is no centrist, the other obstacle he faces is Romney’s ability to raise money. Ninety-eight percent of the money Romney has raised has been donated in amounts of $25,000 or more. Romney’s “Super Pac” has received at least 10 donations of $1 million or more. The candidate who raises the most money usually wins, and this is especially true in a Republican primary. Nevertheless, Santorum seems to be strong in the Midwest, which is an important region in any primary. He very well might manage to score some more upsets before it is over.

Tickle of Goshen, Ohio, recently completed 12 weeks of basic training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, S.C. designed to challenge new Marine recruits both physically and mentally. Tickle and fellow recruits began their training at 5 a.m., by running three miles and performing calisthenics. In addition to the physical conditioning program, Tickle spent numerous hours in classroom and field assignments which included learning first aid, uniform regulations, combat water survival, marksmanship, hand-to-hand combat and assorted weapons training. They performed close order drill and operated as a small infantry unit during field training. Tickle and other recruits also received instruction on the Marine Corps’ core values – honor, courage and commitment – and what the core values mean in guiding personal and professional conduct.

Re-elect White for prosecutor To the Editor: I support the re-election of our Clermont County Prosecutor, Don White. I met Don last year when he gave me an American Flag that had been flown over the headquarters of the U.S. Troops in Afghanistan on September 11, 2010. Don had purchased the flag at an auction for the benefit of Clermont Senior Services. Through research, he found out that my son, Spc. Gregory James Missman, was the first casualty from Clermont County in the Afghanistan War. I appreciate Don’s support of our veterans and the families of our heroes lost in the conflict of war. I also appreciate the work that Don White does to make us safe in Clermont County. Please join me and vote to re-elect Don White as the Clermont County Prosecuting Attorney. Jim Missman Cincinnati

direct knowledge or acquaintance with the individuals running in the prosecutor primary. As an attorney in Clermont County for over 30 years I have known both Don White and Vince Faris throughout their legal careers. They are both good attorneys and well qualified for the position of prosecutor. I have never been a close friend, neighbor or acquaintance of either of them, however, I have dealt with both of them in my legal capacity. So the choice is difficult. Knowing everything I know about them and the job, my choice lies with Vince Faris as the better choice for the position. Perhaps this will help those that are not acquainted with either of them to make a choice. This is an important race so voters should not fail to make a choice just because they are not familiar with the candidates. Peter Ulbrich Cincinnati

Chicken Creole with Chile Cream Sauce 1 -1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts 2-3 teaspoons Creole or Cajun seasoning Olive oil 1 can (10 3/4 oz) cream of chicken soup (regular or fat free) 1/2 cup water Up to 1 can (4.5 oz) chopped green chiles Lime juice to taste 1/4 cup sour cream (regular, light or fat free) Hot cooked brown rice (opt) Season chicken with Creole seasoning. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides. Stir soup, water, chiles and lime juice in the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce to low. Cook until chicken is cooked through. Stir in sour cream. Serve over rice.

“My background is engineering, technology and finance,” Uible said about his experience. “I spend time managing work teams and I think I am well qualified to run the office.” In addition to his work, Uible owns and operates a buffalo farm in New Richmond, serves as treasurer of the Clermont County Republican central and execu-

tive committees, is involved with the Southern Ohio Agriculture and Community Development Fund and more. Uible said he decided to run for office to challenge the long-time clerk Barbara Wiedenbein, and if elected he said he has several goals he would like to accomplish. “I am tired of the county accepting who we get in office, and I decided to challenge her,” Uible said. Uible said one of his primary goals, if elected, would be to automate court records and information for public access. “I think that is the biggest and primary thing that can be done,” Uible said. “Today, if an attorney in Hamilton County needs to defend someone in Clermont County, they have to send someone out here.” Uible said he would work to ensure the records are safely and securely accessible online so residents and attorneys can have access from home or work. Uible said he would also work to improve and manage the daily activities at the court to help things run more efficiently. Incumbent clerk Barb Wiedenbein moved to Clermont County when she was 9-years-old. She graduated from Milford High School and spent time living in Texas and Florida before she moved back home. Before becoming clerk, Wiedenbein owned a travel agency, which she later sold to one of her employees, and also helped with her husband's business, Wiedenbein Auto Parts. In addition, Wiedenbein is involved with the Republican Party, is a Clermont

also making sure they gain experience at different jobs in the office, she works to accomplish this on a daily basis. Wiedenbein said since she was elected she has worked to save money within the court system and has been able to contribute surplus money back into the general fund. She helped develop the “One Stop,” in Batavia, an office to help improve the convenience and service to customers, and also had ATM machines installed at the Batavia and Milford “One Stops.” When it comes to the future of the court system, Wiedenbein said she is planning to automate records, and has been working on this plan for several years. “My chief deputy and I have already looked into the term “e-filing,” essentially going paperless,” Wiedenbein said. “It’s great, there is no doubt about it. Right now the county doesn’t have the money to do that.” She said to automate records right now it would cost around $800,000. She said she is committed to automating records and will research the process more, but only when the funds are available. “We are working on things so attorneys can pull (information) up themselves,” she said about where they are in the process. Until then, she said she will continue to keep things running smoothly in the court system in terms of budget, daily jobs and more.That’s what I was elected for,” Wiedenbein said. “To streamline the office and make progress.”

New Richmond wins Southern Buckeye Conference Tourney, Goshen’s Chaz Gresham named the Wrestler of the Year BY CHRIS CHANEY Sun staff

The Southern Buckeye Athletic Conference Wrestling Tournament was held on Saturday, February 11 at Clermont Northeastern High School with New Richmond taking home the American Division crown and Blanchester winning the National Division. For New Richmond, the title was the school’s fourth conference championship in five years. “It’s great,” New Richmond coach Deron Shinkle said. “The kids have really worked hard. A lot of them have come up from the youth and junior high teams and that experienced has helped us.” Shinkle was also honored with the Coach of the Year Award in the American Division for the fourth time in five years as well. “I don’t know,” said a modest Shinkle when asked what the individual achievement meant to him. “It’s nice to be honored, I guess.

Staci Hicks was a four-sport star during her time at Goshen High School.

Former Goshen standout Staci Hicks thrives on Tusculum College hoops team BY CHRIS CHANEY Sun staff

Former Goshen four-sport athlete Staci Hicks is now starring for the Tusculum College women’s basketball team and as the senior prepares for a post-season run, her impact is still being felt around Clermont County. “Staci was, in my opinion, one of the most gifted female athletes we’ve ever had at Goshen,” Goshen athletic director Mark Slagle said. “If you look at her record, she was Runner of the Year in cross country, she was Player of the Year in soccer and Player of the Year in basketball. “She was exactly what you wanted out of a student-athlete. She worked hard and conducted herself properly. She was all about her teammates and often shied away from individual publicity.” While at Goshen, Hicks was a letter-winner in basketball, soccer, cross country and track and field. She excelled in all four sports, but basketball resulted in the most acclaim from around the region. She was named an All-Southwest Ohio selection, a member of the OhioKentucky All-Star Team, a member of the East-West All-Star Team as well as Southern Buckeye Conference Player of the Year. During her senior season,

Hicks averaged 19.6 points per game and 11.3 rebounds, which netted her an All-State Honorable Mention. Hicks graduated from Goshen in 2008 to travel to Greeneville, Tenn. to pursue an education in physical therapy and continue her basketball career at Tusculum College. While at Tusculum, Hicks has continued to enjoy athletic and academic success. “If anyone asks me what my biggest sports moment would be, it would have to be the (Southeast) Regional Championship (in 2010),” Hicks said. “I’ve never won anything like that before. It meant a lot to me and to everyone on the team and was a great experience. “ Hicks is a 6-foot-1 forward for the Lady Pioneers. A four-year starter, Hicks helped Tusculum to a 25-6 record her freshman year while averaging five points and 3.2 rebounds per game en route to a South Atlantic Conference Tournament Championship. During her sophomore season, Hicks started all 30 games she played in averaging 7.1 points and 6.2 rebounds per game and Tusculum won a second-consecutive SAC Tournament title. It was during this 23-10 campaign that Hicks and Lady Pioneers advanced to the Elite Eight of the Division II NCAA Tournament.

“Going to the Elite Eight was one of my favorite memories,” Hicks said. “The whole experience was different than anything I have experienced and it was awesome to play in that game.” Coming off an Elite Eight appearance, Hicks and her teammates went 21-9, but bowed out of the NCAA Tournament in the second round after falling in the SAC Tournament Championship game. Now in her final year of eligibility, Hicks is second on the team in scoring and rebounding, posting 12.1 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. The Lady Pioneers are currently 157 with four games left on their regular-season schedule. “Our program is all about winning championships,” Hicks said of her teams’ goals for the rest of the season. “We’re trying to grow and improve. I think if we stick together – we’ve lost some people to injuries – we know we can win the rest of the regular season games and hopefully make another tournament run.” Hicks said she keeps in contact with how the Goshen teams are doing mainly through her family and Dave Mason, the current Goshen varsity girls coach and her old AAU coach. “I was fortunate enough to coach See Hicks, Page B12

Clermont County will be well represented at the district swimming meet at Miami University on Friday, February 17 and Saturday, February 18 as Milford and New Richmond High Schools will send 25 individuals to compete in 22 events. Milford, competing in Division I, had a solid sectional meet that saw them advance to the district meet in seven boys events and eight girls events. “We had a good meet (at sectionals),” Milford coach Sarah Kleinfelter said. “We were careful not to leave early on our relays because we would be disqualified, so our times were a little slower than we’d like, but with another week of practice, I think we can get those times down.” The Milford boys advanced in three relays, the 200-yard medley relay, the 200-yard freestyle relay and the 400-yard freestyle relay. “Again, the times were a little slower than we’re used to, but that’s because we were protecting against being disqualified,” Kleinfelter said. The 200 medley relay finished second at the Mason sectional and was the fifth fastest time in the district. “(The 200 medley relay) has a good of getting to state,” Kleinfelter said.

“The time was a little slower than what it’s been, but the last time the boys swam at Miami (in the league meet) they had a great meet and I’m hoping they will again on Friday.” The 200 medley team is made up of Alex Frank, Dave Matulis, Beau Robinson and Cade Williams. Similar to the 200 medley, Kleinfelter hopes another week of practice will drop the time of the 200and 400-yard freestyle relays. Both relay teams feature the same swimmers – Cade Williams, Thomas Prus, Dave Matulis and Beau Robinson. Individually, Cade Williams qualified for the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 22.62. “That’s a pretty big deal,” Kleinfelter said. “We had the fastest sectional in the state for that event and Cade didn’t realize he qualified until we were on the bus back. Even then he didn’t believe us, but he’s really excited.” Beau Robinson qualified for the 100-yard butterfly; Alex Frank qualified for the 100-yard backstroke; and Dave Matulis qualified for 100-yard breaststroke. For the Milford girls, they qualified in the same relays as the boys – 200 medley, 200 freestyle and 400 freestyle.

March is right around the corner and that means that postseason basketball is ratcheting up. The girls of Clermont County are beginning their second seasons this week with everything on the line. Win or go home. Three schools saw their seasons come to an end on Monday night as Glen Este, Bethel-Tate and Clermont Northeastern were bounced from the sectional tourna-

ment. The other seven teams are hoping to buck the trend as they take the floor later on this week. Wednesday night will see Felicity, Batavia and Milford all take the floor against a staunch lineup of opponents. Felicity will face the 182 regular-season Southern Buckeye Conference National Division champion Georgetown Lady G-Men. Felicity, seeded No. 10 in the Division III bracket, will play the top-seeded Lady G-Men at Wilmington

at 7 p.m. Batavia doesn’t have a walk in the park in their Division II first-round matchup, either, facing the No. 1-seeded Indian Hill Braves seed at 6 p.m. at Withrow High School. The Milford Lady Eagles, seeded No. 14, play No. 7seeded McAuley at 7:30 p.m. Milford is 13-5 on the season and McAuley is 126. Later on in the week, Williamsburg, Goshen, New Richmond and Amelia will put their seasons on the

line. The New Richmond Lady Lions, seeded No. 3 in Division II, will play the No. 9 seeded Ross Rams on Thursday, February 16 at 7:30 p.m. The Lady Lions come into the postseason playing some of their best basketball of the year, winning seven of their last eight games. “I thought it was a dream season,” New Richmond coach Brad Hatfield said. “Winning 16 games, we don’t get an opportunity to

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 construct a transmission line and associated substation from the Meldahl powerhouse on the Ohio River to the existing Zimmer-Spurlock Transmission Line approximately two miles north of the Ohio River. The application was submitted by the City of Hamilton. The project is located at 2443 US Highway 52 west of Chilo. The Huntington District Corps of Engineers Public Notice Number for this project is LRH-2009-00080OHR. The Ohio EPA ID Number for this project is 113840. 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 cross thirteen streams, including Bear Creek, for a total of 390 linear feet of impacts; and, result in the discharge of fill into 0.05 acre of one wetland. The applicant's proposed minimal degradation alternative, if approved, would involve ten stream crossings for a total of 210 linear feet of impacts. Direct impacts to Bear Creek and wetlands would be avoided under this alternative. The applicant's proposed nondegradation alternative, if approved, would have no direct impacts on waters of the state. The Corps public notice for this project presents the minimal degradation alternative. Discharges from the activity, if approved, would result in degradation to, or lowering of, the water quality of Bear 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.

The Ohio boys’ sectional draw took place on Sunday, February 12 and although most teams have a few games left in their regular season, some coaches are looking forward to postseason preparations. Starting at the end next week, seven of the 10 Clermont County schools will take the floor with their seasons on the line. Beginning on Friday, February 24, Bethel-Tate, Milford and Williamsburg will be in action at three different venues. In Division I, Milford will take on Western Brown at 8:30 p.m. at Oak Hills High School. The Eagles are seeded No. 17 and a favorite, but the No. 23seeded Broncos are worrying Milford coach Joe Cambron. “I think (Western Brown) is dangerous,” he said. “They have a lot of seniors and have won 16 games, so they’re used to winning. They’re really scrappy. We have a size advantage, but (Western Brown) keeps coming at you the entire game.” The Eagles started the season a little sluggishly, but really came together in

February as players came back from injuries to get the team ready for tournament time. “If you would have told me in November that we would be 13-7, I would have been a little disappointed,” Cambron said. “But if you would have told me in January that we would be 13-7, I would have been excited. “Things didn’t click right away, but February has been a lot better. We’re definitely playing our best basketball at the end of the year.” Although Milford is relatively young, they do have a pair of seniors led by Rob Overbeck who Cambron believes should be ready for this type of do-or-die basketball. “We are in a unique situation with Rob playing in three state tournaments already,” the coach said. “He won’t be wowed by the atmosphere or the mentality that everything is on the line. He’s been there already and understands it.” As for Bethel-Tate and Williamsburg, the Tigers face second seeded Aiken at 8 p.m. at Mason in the Division II sectional and the Wildcats will play thirdseeded Roger Bacon at 6:30 p.m. at Western Brown.

Batavia’s Dwayne Smith goes up for a layup against Amelia earlier in the season.

Both teams have tall orders as their opponents have double-digit wins on the season. Saturday, February 25 is chalk-full of Clermont County games with four teams in action including three in a triple-header at Mason High School. The only Clermont team not playing at Mason in the Division II sectional is Felicity who is playing

Hatfield said. “It’s easy to go through a stretch like (we did at the beginning of the year) and just go through the motions for the rest of the season, but we never did. Practices were still competitive and we finally got a couple of things to go our way.” Hatfield thinks his team is a better all-around squad than Taylor, but with a win, the Bulldogs will likely meet No. 1 seed, Taft. Hatfield said that Taft is one of the best teams in the city and that even if they present matchup problems, he expects his guys to go out and work hard. The final two teams in Clermont County are Amelia and Glen Este, both competing in the Division I sectional. Glen Este will likely play top-seeded La Salle on Wednesday, February 29 at 6:30 p.m. at Lakota West High School. The Lancers were state runners-up last year and likely give Glen Este all they can handle. Amelia will likely face second seed Moeller. The Crusaders were knocked out of the state tournament by La Salle last year in the state quarterfinals. Amelia plays on Wednesday, February 29 at 6:30 p.m. at Hamilton High School.

The 200-yard medley team of Carolyn Storch, Julia Prus, Haley Kennedy and Kelsey Meranda finished sixth at the district meet and 11th in the district. The same group of girls makes up the 400-yard freestyle relay. The 200-yard freestyle relay team features Grace Billano, Kayla Villano, Chelsea Sick and Julia Prus. “It was the first time we put that relay together that way and we weren’t sure what to expect,” Kleinfelter said of her 200 free relay team. “But we pulled out some good times. Julia had her best split ever.” Individually the Milford girls advanced three swimmers in five events. Both Kelsey Meranda and Carolyn Storch qualified for the 50-yard freestyle, which Kleinfelter said was a pleasant surprise thanks to Storch’s best time in the event to date. Meranda also qualified for the 100-yard freestyle and Storch in the 100-yard backstroke. Julia Prus was the last Eagle to qualify individually with a time of 1:11.77 in the 100-yard breaststroke. “ “She was a huge surprise,” Kleinfelter said. “She dropped over a second and a half on her time. It was so much fun to watch because she’s been doing everything she’s supposed to do, but her times weren’t great. She swam a great race.” Milford is looking for a repeat performance when they head to Miami this weekend. “We had a really great meet at Miami,” said Klein-

felter. “It’s a really fast pool and we had our league meet there, so hopefully that gives us an advantage because most of the schools we’re racing haven’t swam there since last year. “Hopefully that familiarity gives us the momentum and we can take a good attitude up there and have another great swim. New Richmond will also be taking part in the district meet as the Lions send 10 individuals to the Division II meet. The boys qualified for two relays – 200-yard medley relay and 200-yard freestyle relay – and two individual events. The 200 medley relay is made up of Colt Reese, Alex Ariapad, Grant Gilman and Tyler David whereas the 400 freestyle relay features Ariapad, David, Reese and Derek Gelter. Ariapad will also compete in the 100-yard butterfly and David will compete in the 500-yard freestyle. New Richmond’s girls will send one relay team – 200-yard freestyle relay –

and two individuals. Kara Burns qualified individually for the 500-yard freestyle and the 100-yard breaststroke. “Kara went (to districts) last year for the 500 free and 100 breast,” New Richmond coach Judy Middeler said. “She keeps moving up and it culminates everything she’s worked for. “ Middeler said she’s not sure what to expect at districts, but she does know that she’s ecstatic to be going. “I’m still numb from everything that’s happened the past few days,” she said. “Getting to districts is a great accomplishment. We’ve set our own personal goals, but miracles can happen. “For none of our kids to swim year-round and still get to districts is really exciting.” The boys’ meet for both Division I and II will take place on Friday, February 17 and the girls’ meet for DI and II will be on Saturday, February 18 at Miami University.

Cincinnati Christian at 4 p.m. at Oak Hills in the Division IV sectional tournament. Goshen will kick off their postseason as the first game at Mason at 11 a.m. against No. 5 seed Wilmington. “The draw came out exactly how I thought it would,” Goshen coach Scott Wake said. “We scouted all the teams we thought we might play, so

we’re ready for (Wilmington). I think if we come out and are ready to play, we should have a good chance of winning.” The Warriors struggled with injuries during the regular season, but Wake believes with his team at full-strength that they can make a run. Wake doesn’t have any major concerns about the early tip-time because of the Goshen practice schedule. “We talked about (the time of the game) and we told the guys that it’s just a state of mind,” Wake said. “We practice earlier than 11 every Saturday, so hopefully the guys won’t let it get to them.” New Richmond plays the middle game of the day at Mason at 12:30 p.m. The Lions, seeded No. 8 will play the seventh seeded Norwood Indians. The teams are evenly matched and both share identical 810 records with two games remaining in the regular season. The Clermont capper features No. 10 seed Batavia against No. 12 seed Taylor. The Bulldogs got off to a rough start, but turned their season around to get near .500. “I’m very proud of our guys,” head coach Mike

her the spring and summer of her freshman year,” Mason said. “She had unbelievable raw talent, a great athlete, but most importantly she is a tremendous kid. The kind of kid every coach dreams of coaching.” With basketball consuming most of her time, Hicks stays in Tennessee yearround with the exception of a 10-day break around the holidays and some time in the summer. “When I leave to come back (to Tusculum), I miss my family, but when I’m home I miss the girls (on the team),” Hicks said. “The basketball is nonstop here, so when I do get a chance to come home, it’s a nice break.” Hicks should finish up her undergraduate degree in physical therapy this summer and she plans on going

Hicks is second on the team in scoring and rebounding

to graduate school to finish her studies. “I’m looking to go farther south, but I’m not exactly sure where yet,” Hicks said. “I’m looking at Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, those kind of places.”

Hicks, the daughter of Malea Hicks and the late Charles Hicks, will be honored on Senior Day on February 25 when the Lady Pioneers take on Mars Hill at 2 p.m.

all in the same sectional, the competition level has risen.” Hatfield has had a chance to scout the Rams and was impressed with their athleticism and ability to get out in transition, but he feels like with four seniors suiting up and playing for their proverbial lives, his team will pull through.” “Our underclassmen will make every effort to help the seniors and hopefully we can make a run,” Hatfield said. Also playing on Thursday, the 16th is Amelia, facing the No. 6-seeded Winton Woods Warriors. Amelia will have their hands full as the Warriors have gone 19-1 in the regular season. Goshen and Both Williamsburg were able to get byes through the first round of the tournament, which could be an advantage or disadvantage depending upon whom you ask. The Williamsburg Lady Wildcats will face Greeneview on Saturday, February 18 at 11 a.m. at Wilmington. “I thought the kids played well this year,” Williamsburg coach Ken Lowe said. “We played in spurts – started 1-4, finished 12-2 – so after a disappointing start, the kids picked it up. “We averaged about 50 points per game while only giving up 30, so the kids played well, but this is a new season for everyone now and we have to be ready to play.”

Lowe said he believed the draw was fair and the Lady Wildcats got the seed he had expected them to. The Lady Wildcats are led by a pair of seniors, Tara Dennis and Heidi McManus, who Lowe expects to rise to the occasion. “Both of them mean a lot to the program,” he said. “Tara has been steady for us offensively and Heidi has really stepped up defensively, getting to second in the city in steals, but of course they can’t do anything without the other three players on the court.” Lowe had some concerns about the early 11 a.m. start time, but he said both teams have to deal with it and when the ball is tipped, it’s go time. Finally, Goshen will face the same Mount Healthy team that defeated BethelTate on February 11, 57-43. “I don’t think our league gets the respect it deserves from the outsiders,” Goshen

coach Dave Mason said. “We’ve seen Mount Healthy and I like our chances of getting to the sectional final. We really respect Western Brown and I think we can match up with Indian Hill. “The bye was nice for us because it allowed us to get healthy, so that worked out well.” The Lady Tigers have seven seniors on their team led by Kelsi Steele and Mason is confident that his group has what it takes to make a run. “Kelsi has been our glue coming in and we knew she would be a key to our success,” he said. “Allie Jeandreavin and Courtney Taylor have played unbelievably and if we can get (Jessica) Wilcher healthy, I think we have a good chance.” The Lady Tigers play Mount Healthy at Withrow on Tuesday, February 21 at 6 p.m.
