New Richmond receives police grant $5,000 grant will provide new computer system BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff

The New Richmond Police Department will receive a new computer system with the help of a grant from the Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services. “Police technology ad-

vances quickly and it is important for all departments to utilize the latest technology for the good of the community they protect,” Administrator Dave Kennedy said. Kennedy said the system will allow the department to have the most current technology, which will add

speed and security to operations. “What we've been dealing with the past few years are antiquated computers,” Police Chief Randy Harvey said. “Some of them have been down and officers have been basically standing in line for computers to put in reports.” Chief Harvey said getting computers with decent memory and capabilities will help the department tremendously, not just be-

cause they will be more efficient but also because the department will be able to install programs that will help officers be able to do a better job. “Along with this grant we will get a server, which will allow us to connect the computers we are getting so we can better guard our data,” Chief Harvey said. “That is the biggest advantage.” Kennedy said the village will receive $5,000 in grant

Batavia Local School District Superintendent Jill Grubb speaks with parents and residents at a community meeting Feb. 21 to discuss challenges the district faces and options for the future.

Batavia Local School District goes to the voters for input Board dealing with increased enrollment, shrinking funds BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff

Batavia Local School District hosted a community meeting at Batavia Elementary School Feb. 21 to discuss issues the district will soon be facing with increasing enrollment and decreasing finances. “What we want to do tonight is provide some in-

formation to you,” Superintendent Jill Grubb said at the beginning of the nearly two hour meeting. Several district officials took turns speaking about enrollment and budget numbers and also outlined options for the future, which included plans for a new building. Grubb explained that enrollment has dramatically

increased in the district and has not only created the need for additional staff, but has also pushed the elementary school and middle school past capacity. Since the 2000-2001 school year, enrollment at all of the schools in the district has grown from 1,842 to 2,196 students, with an increase of at least 100 students at each school. The change in enrollment from 1996 to 2010 put the district 37.1 percent above average, the highest in the county.

“We can’t continue on this path with enrollment,” Grubb said. And while the district is able to close open enrollment, and has closed open enrollment for some grade levels, Grubb said when they turn students away lose out on state money. Michael Ashmore, treasurer for the district, explained that financially, the district is inching closer to operating at a deficit. See Batavia, Page A3

The United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service issued its first Asian longhorned beetle e-newsletter this month. The newsletter contains information about infestations across the country. Rhonda Santos, public information officer for USDA-APHIS, said she decided to issue a newsletter so she could send out updates and information to all states in one document. “It was a time-saving effort, but it is also a good way to provide information and an overview for each state,” Santos said. The newsletter contains statistics from each state that has been infested by the Asian longhorned beetle, including Ohio, and also provides news updates, information about upcoming events, reminders and other resources. Santos said she plans to issue a newsletter at a minimum of once a month and she encouraged residents to sign up. “At the very least they are going to have a source for up-to-date information,” Santos said about the newsletter.

Four Republican candidates are on the March 6 primary election ballot for Ohio State Senate District 14. Paul Hall, Tony Adkins, Steve Purtell, and Joe Uecker are all hoping to represent citizens in Adams, Brown, Clermont and Scioto, and part of Lawrence counties. Paul Hall, a business owner who lives just outside of Williamsburg, said he decided to run for state senate because he felt that it was time to serve the district and make changes. “It's the point in life where I feel I can give back,” Hall said. “I believe the legislature needs to understand we're not a business-friendly state and we need to change our mode of operation.” Hall said he believes his business experience will be beneficial if he is elected. He earned a degree in agricultural economics before

opening, owning and managing several businesses in the area including an insurance agency, tax service, consultation business and more. “Government doesn't have to be all things to all people,” Hall said. “The private sector and non-profits can bring a lot and are more efficient and effective.” Hall said the economic well-being of tax payers is the most important issue the district is facing now and in the near future. “Most people will say jobs, and yes jobs are important, but we need to be looking at ways we can train people,” Hall said. “Whether it is a welder or a truck driver, we've got to elevate the standard of living for residents.” Hall said to do this the state needs to work on making Ohio business-friendly by eliminating restrictions on businesses, making changes to unemployment and workers compensation and working with technical schools and community col-

Adkins

leges to re-educate or retrain society. “Businesses are looking elsewhere,” Hall said about what is happening in the state. Tony Adkins, a Union Township resident, also decided to run for the senate after becoming frustrated with how things were being done at the state level. “The major reason I decided to run is last year my kids brought home a letter that said the state had passed a bill requiring BMI (body mass index) testing at schools,” Adkins said. “I thought that was a little intrusive.” Adkins said he wrote to his local senator explaining that he was disturbed by the bill and that BMI testing is normally something done at a medical facility. After hearing that his senator, and many other republicans had

Uecker

voted for the bill, even though it did not go into effect, Adkins said he was inspired to run for senator. Adkins graduated from Northern Kentucky University where he studied political science and marketing and has spent most his life in the sales industry. “I don't have political experience,” Adkins said. “But I think people are tired of career politicians. Hopefully I can represent people of district 14 the way they want to be represented.” Adkins said that if elected, he would work to try and keep taxes low and work to keep the government out of citizens' lives. He said he would be vigilant to vote in a way that would represent conservative values and also be fiscally responsible. “I think state legislators are forgetting they are rep-

resenting the people, instead of special interests,” Adkins said. “I think people would be refreshed to have someone like me, who has been a private sector worker their entire life.” Steve Purtell, a lawyer who lives in Batavia, said he is running for state senate because he is concerned about the condition of both the country and state. “I think our country is going bankrupt and our state is an economic basket case,” Purtell said. Purtell served in the military, became a lawyer and eventually became the assistant prosecuting attorney for Brown County. While he doesn't have a political background, he said he brings a lot to the table with his employment experience and life history. See Race, Page A2

The village of Bethel is getting close to being released from fiscal emergency. Fiscal officer Bill Gilpin told council members Thursday, Feb. 23 that a request that the village be released from fiscal emergency has been made. He said that a representative from the state was in the village recently, and that no further information was required from the village

for the review of its accounting procedures being conducted by the state. The village can’t be released from fiscal emergency until the review of its accounting procedures has been completed. “He was here last Monday or Tuesday, and he said he doesn’t need any additional information,” Gilpin said. “I think they’re just about wrapped up.” The state placed Bethel in fiscal emergency in December of 2009 when the

village had more than $400,000 in debt across four village funds. Since that time, the village has cut expenditures and has eliminated that debt. In 2009 the village spent only about 80 percent of its revenue, and in 2010, 70 percent of revenues were spent. In 2011, expenditures were slashed to 64 percent of revenues. Gilpin told council members that all accounts are now positive.

He said the top three issues the counties in the district face include jobs, jobs and jobs. “I think that is probably on the top of everyone’s minds,” Purtell said. “When it comes to being businessfriendly, depending on the numbers you look at, only about 10 states are worse off than we are.” He said finding a solution to the jobs problem means making Ohio more business-friendly by lowering taxes, making Ohio a more pleasant place to live and giving businesses input on opportunities in the state. Purtell also said protecting the environment and providing the state with recreational opportunities will help lure businesses. He said things like bicycling trials, open land and parks can help draw young business people to stay in the area. “Ohio cities have great potential,” Purtell said. “We have a good location, avoid extreme weather, if we can just make our state more hospitable.”

State Rep. Joe Uecker, of Miami Township, is no stranger to representing citizens in the area. He is currently a state representative for the 66th District and decide to run for state senate because his term as representative will expire at the end of the year. “I’ve got close to 25 years of experience representing the public,” Uecker said. “I feel I have a lot of experience to offer Ohio and the district.” Uecker graduated from Northern Kentucky University, worked as administrator for the county engineer’s office, served as a police officer for three departments, was Miami Township trustee for 14 years and has been state representative for eight years. “I remember it took me a good year to really be able to find my way around the maze of bureaucracies that are waiting in Columbus,” Uecker said about becoming a representative. He said having experience at the state level, and having already built relationships with agencies and representatives, would help

him be able to focus on taking care of issues and problems in the district if elected. “By far and wide the key issue is going to be jobs,” Uecker said. “And making Ohio more attractive to businesses.” Uecker said he would continue meeting with business owners to consider their needs and continue to work with local colleges to help improve workforce development in the state. “We have a lot of bright, educated people in Ohio,” Uecker said. “But they are not educated for what businesses need. Workforce development is going to be the buzz word you’re going to hear for the next few years.” In addition, Uecker said, he will continue to make his voice heard when it comes to preventing local governments from being negatively affected by decisions at the state level. “I think my experience in local government has helped me tremendously in seeing the cause and effect of government,” Uecker said. “Experience counts in almost any industry.”

This February was the third annual “Spread the Love” campaign at Goshen Middle School. The theme this year was “All you need is Love, Love is all you need.” The GMS Student Council and National Junior Honor Society hosted a kick off assembly to get students rallying a school community to raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Penny for Patients. “We are so very proud of the compassion and how the students all worked together to raise over $4,000 for Penny for Patients,” Principal Reichert said. Goshen Middle School students collected enough during each week to have multiple teachers wear a chicken or bunny costumes. Plus the grand total put Principal Reichert in a clown suit to show her appreciation for the students desire to give back to the community. During weeks 1 and 2 students collect coins by in competing IA class to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

This year guests will make a memory canvas celebrating the life of their loved one. All the supplies will be provided, but atten-

dees are asked to bring one to two photographs (5x7 or smaller) of their loved one if they would like to participate in the project. To help us with planning for the service, RSVP by March 19. Contact Hope Seavers, 1-800-625-5269, hseavers@steinhospice.org for reservations or with any questions.

Batavia: District seeks residents input Continued from page A1

He presented information about both revenues and expenditures and said with state cuts and decreases in revenue, the district could be facing a deficit by as early as next year. Ashmore said the district made $5 million in cuts last year, and while they believe they will be able to balance the budget this year, they are looking at hundreds of thousands of dollars in deficits moving forward. “We think we can bring (the deficit) down but we don’t think we can eliminate it totally,” Ashmore said. In addition, Grubb said the district could also incur expenses in the future for mandatory technology upgrades, the need for additional space and possible repairs to the aging elementary and middle schools. “You have to be able to take care of those things,” Grubb said She said in order accommodate necessary expenses, and still attempt to balance the budget, many other services may be on the chopping block. Grubb said the district could be forced to reduce classes to state minimum requirements, charge more to play sports and reduce additional staff members, despite growth in enrollment. While solutions to the problems presented are difficult because all of them cost money, Grubb said the board needs to begin planning and making decisions now, before larger problems

arise. “That is where we need your input,” she told residents. Grubb said board members have investigated several options to solve overcrowding problems including leasing space at Owensville Elementary, installing modular units at the high school and considering a split-schedule system. To solve the problem more permanently, however, Grubb said board members, as well as principals from each school, are working with the Ohio School Facilities Commission to create a master plan for an additional building. “What may be the new configuration?” Grubb asked. “We could build a Pre K-8 building. We could build K-6 and put an addition on the high school. We could build Pre K-5 and keep the current middle school.” Grubb listed the pros and cons for each configuration and said the district recognizes the benefits to having only two buildings. She said the new building would likely be located on the high school campus because it is the largest property. Grubb, Ashmore and several board members acknowledged that in order to pay for a new building, they are again considering an appearance on the November election ballot to request for funds from the community. “Once the board decides what direction we want to go, that is going to be the message,” Grubb said about asking for a levy. “We are going to need help.” Several students con-

cluded the informational session by speaking with community members about how important a levy will be for future students in the district. “I want them to have the same opportunities I have had,” Hunter Meadors, a junior who transferred from West Clermont, said. “You have to understand you're helping everyone and you're going to help make a better community.” District officials left plenty of time to answer questions from concerned parents and residents, and while some seemed shocked about potential options, others were well aware the district is in a bind. “I was a little surprised at the options,” Monique Willoughby, who came to the meeting with her 6th grade daughter Tyme, said. “I liked that they came to us, I guess we'll see what happens.” Willoughby said while she doesn't particularly love any of the options officials presented, she is happy with the district and impressed that they do such a great job with what they have. Lisa Bourque and Mariela Schmitgen, who both have children at the high school, said they were glad to see a decent turnout for the meeting, but agreed it will take a lot more to pass a levy. “The unfortunate thing is the people who were here aren't the people who need to be convinced,” Bourque said. “If they think through the big picture (passing a levy) will affect them personally.”

She said those who subscribe will also be able to view statistics and information about infestations in other states including Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York. So far in Clermont County, a total of 6,557 trees have been confirmed as infested in Bethel and Amelia and 3,532 trees have been removed. In addition, 86,031 surveys have been completed in the county so far. Surveys are currently being completed north of state Route 232 and east of Sugartree Road and Crane Schoolhouse Road in Bethel. Santos said the program recently moved into “phase two” of the removal plan, which moves beyond Tate Township and into the village of Bethel. She said property owners who weren't notified during “phase one” of removals will receive letters before removals begin on their properties. According to Santos, officials are still working to complete a second environmental assessment, which will suggest the next course of action for the eradication efforts. “They are still really hoping for an environmental assessment before summer begins,” Santos said. Santos said anyone interested in receiving an enewsletter can request to be added to the list by contacting her at rhonda.j.santos@aphis.usda.gov. She said they will also be installing a subscription button on their website, http://www.beetlebusters.i nfo/, where people can sign up.

Are campaigns too expensive?

OHIO SUPREME COURT JUSTICE it reversed the conviction. After that, the case came before us – the Supreme Court of Ohio. The issue in this case was whether a defendant’s dueprocess rights are violated when the defendant knows prior to trial that an aggravated-burglary indictment incorrectly states the underlying criminal offense, but the trial court, at the conclusion of the trial, conforms the jury instructions to the evidence presented at trial and instructs the jury on the correct underlying criminal offense. The state argued that the jury instruction on assault didn’t violate Lynn’s dueprocess rights because the indictment tracked the language of the aggravated burglary against him. Lynn acknowledged that the indictment didn’t have to delineate the underlying criminal offense. But, he maintained that once the indictment stated the underlying offense as theft, a jury instruction on assault or any other offense was error. He further argued that providing the assault interrogatory allowed the jury to convict him of a crime for which he had not been properly indicted. By a six-to-one majority, our court reversed the court of appeals and concluded that Lynn’s due process rights were not violated. In reviewing this case, the majority employed a “plainerror analysis.” The criminal rules that govern court proceedings state that plain errors “may be noticed although they were not brought to the atSee Pfeifer, Page A7

Thoughts about Valentine’s Day and a happy marriage I have a confession to make. Yvonne and I did not celebrate Valentine’s Day. Actually, I did receive a truly wonderful card from her. I think it was her way of saying she was really sorry about the three weeks I recently spent living in the travel trailer. I hope the ladies in the audience won’t be too hard on me for admitting that I didn’t buy Yvonne roses or chocolates for Valentine’s Day. To my defense, a week earlier I bought her a bottle of White Shoulders perfume for her birthday, remembering that it was her favorite when we were dating 50 years ago. She was very impressed that I remembered. I scored a few points on that one. You know, for us guys trying to buy just the right card or gift is always about trying to score points. And ladies you have to admit you expect this of us, and that your expectations don’t diminish just because you’ve been married to your sweetie pie for 40 or 50 years. One of my most satisfying moments in life is when

And as she does, I well-up inside with satisfaction, knowing I’ve just hit a home run on the “I love you meter”. Yvonne and I started dating when we were 16 and dated on and off for the next

couple of years. The off part was several times when we (she) needed to see other people. But I persisted, and when I finally won her heart it was forever. We married in August of 1966, both just barely 20 years old and about as unprepared for matrimony as two kids could be. Yvonne’s parents didn’t have two nickels to rub together, and I didn’t even know where my Mom and Stepdad lived (that’s another story), so we put our wedding together ourselves. Yvonne bought a beautiful wedding dress for $100 from a girlfriend who had just married, and we scraped together enough money for a cake, some flowers, tuxedos, and a few dollars for the preacher. Our wedding memories couldn’t be any more precious than if we’d spent $20,000 to unite our hearts in love, and we still have the polaroid pictures to prove it. We didn’t own a car (I told you we weren’t prepared), so after the reception my best man took us for a “just married” ride and

Many people don’t associate water and sewer systems with job creation. In fact, most Americans might not think about their water and sewer systems much beyond paying a water bill. But one consistent message I’ve heard at many of the 200 roundtable discussions I’ve conducted across our state is that affordable water and sewer rates are critical to attracting and retaining employers – particularly those in the manufacturing industry that depend on water for their production processes. A modern, affordable water infrastructure is critical to preserving jobs, building strong communities, and keeping Americans safe. This is a jobs issue, which is why I am re-introducing the Clean Water Affordability Act – bipartisan legislation I first introduced in 2008 with then-Senator George V. Voinovich. All Ohioans deserve ac-

In parts of the state with combined sewer systems (CSOs), heavy rains or melting snow cause CSOs to overflow, meaning untreated wastewater and storm water are dumped straight into our rivers, creeks, and lakes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that 850 billion gallons of untreated wastewater and storm water from CSOs are released into our communities. It poses a risk to the public health and environment

Once inside the apartment, he compounded his problems as he made his way to the bedroom where his girlfriend – Juanita Turnage – was located. Lynn slammed the door on Juanita’s foot, causing a bone to chip. The police subsequently arrived and arrested Lynn. After hearing the facts on Lynn, a grand jury indicted him on one count of aggravated burglary. But when the indictment was printed, it said that Lynn’s criminal offense was “theft.” Two days before the trial was to commence, the state filed a motion to remove the word “theft,” arguing that it was superfluous language and its removal would not change the substance of the indictment. But Lynn’s attorney filed a written objection to the proposed amendment. On the morning of the trial, the court orally denied the state’s request to amend the indictment. But at the trial’s conclusion, the court instructed the jury on the elements of assault and of theft. In addition, the trial court provided interrogatories (a set of written questions) to the jury to probe whether the jury believed that when Lynn entered the apartment, he did so with the purpose to commit theft or assault. The jury eventually found Lynn guilty of aggravated burglary. In answering the interrogatories, the jury unanimously found that Lynn had committed the underlying criminal offense of assault but that he had not committed the underlying criminal offense of theft. When the court of appeals reviewed the case, it concluded that the trial court had erred in instructing the jury on assault, and

– and undermines the competitiveness of our businesses. The cost of addressing CSOs in Ohio alone is more than $7 billion over the next 20 years, according to the EPA. In Northeast Ohio, the fix is estimated at over $1 billion, and in Cincinnati it is at least $2 billion. There are more than 81 Ohio communities that require water infrastructure improvements to fix outdated CSOs. These communities – and their local ratepayers – shouldn’t have to go after the fixes alone. That’s why the Clean Water Affordability Act is important – it will protect local ratepayers, streamline permitting, lead to cleaner water, and promote economic development. This bill would help CSO communities develop an infrastructure plan that works

Bethel students get to see performance of Brigadoon Ninety-five choir students from Bethel-Tate Middle and High schools enjoyed a performance of Brigadoon on Nov. 3 at the School for the Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinnati. The students were impressed with what they saw and heard. Morgon Branning, a seventhgrader, wrote, “The lighting was good, the costumes were even better, the music was amazing, but the acting was the best!”

Mia Brown, also in seventh grade, added, “It was as if I were watching a movie!” Samantha Hency, in twelfth grade, commented, “The performance of Brigadoon awakened my love of musical theater – the SCPA performers were just great!” This experience was funded in part by the Bethel-Tate Arts Appreciation Fund of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation, which contributed $250 toward the cost of the trip.

Bethel Lions hear about Tiger Packs program The Bethel Lions Club had Carrie Minarchek, at their Feb. 6 meeting. Minarchek explained the Tiger Packs program, through which they send food for the weekend home with some of the children. The Lions Club had made a donation to this project and will be doing so again next school year. On Feb. 20 Bethel Mayor Alan Ausman and Lion member Travis Dotson attended to talk with the club on some of the members’ ideas to help with some projects to beautify the village. The light posts, which the Lions Club had installed many years ago, need to be painted and many other things that were brought up and will be considered and planned to get done. The Lions Club plans to have a booth again at the B.A.M.

Fest this year. They will have a box their to collect used eyeglasses, which will be taken and donated to the V.O.S.H (volunteer optomitrest group) for giving to needy in other countries. The next pancake breakfast will be on April 21. This is our most active fund-raiser, which enables us to do all the projects like paying for eye exams and eyeglasses for children and senior citizens who need the help of our area, and the other things they donate to. The Lions Club members pay their own dues and for their meals at the meetings. We invite men and women who would be interested in joining this active group to come to a meeting or talk to a Lion member. We meet at the Grant Memorial Building on the first and third Monday at 6:30 p.m.

Clermont County Commissioners have authorized McGill & Smith, Amelia consulting engineers to proceed with plans for the estimated $3 million Nine Mile Creek sewer project. In a letter to commissioners, engineer Jess Smith said the project will serve the Cherry Grove, Tobasco, Withamsville area and east along Ohio 125 to the terminus of the Amelia Batavia sewer system. Also served will be residents of Hopper Hill Road, Nine Mile Road, Fulton Grove Road, Banks Road and contiguous areas and all of the Witham Woods development. The treatment plant is planned to be located in the vicinity of the junction of Nine Mile Road and US 52 and this location, Smith noted, permits service to the Ten Mile Creek watershed and possible service to Locust Corner and other tributary areas when it becomes economically feasible. Smith estimated the number of users to the time of completion of the project will be 2175, of which 265 are presently served by the Hall’s Run and Shayler Run sewer systems in Union Township. Three lift stations now required to pump sewage into the Union Township sewers will be eliminated, and commissioners feel this will help postpone the eventual enlargement of the AmeliaBatavia plant, which is to receive sewage now received by the Shayler Run plant.

25 Years Ago March 5, 1987 Prominent scientist Jerry Stara dies at 61 Dr. Jerry F. Stara, director of the Environmental Criteria and Assessment Office at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Cincinnati, died suddenly in Baltimore on February 26. He was 61. Born Jaroslav Frank Stara on February 16, 1926, to Frank and Zdenka Stara in Prague, Czechoslovakia, he was raised in Brne, a farming community. After serving in the military, he entered veterinary school. It was during this period of his life that his strong stance for democracy and safeguarding individuals’ rights and liberties that he was imprisoned for his convictions. His escape from the prison’s mines and flight from Czechoslovakia to Europe, and his eventual arrival in the U.S. in the late 1940s, was accomplished through the aid of an Athens, Georgia, Rotary Club. His appreciation for this assistance has been continually demonstrated through many years of hard work and dedication toward helping others. He was granted U.S. citizenship in Mt. Clements, Michigan, on Sept. 4, 1968.

15 Years Ago March 6, 1997 Two new buildings planned for college Steadily increasing enrollment at Clermont College has created a need for additional space, and officials at the college are making plans to accommodate students. Dean James McDonough said the college plans to construct two new buildings on the Batavia campus, adding up to 40,000 square feet of classroom and office space. The first building, just off the parking lot, will begin with the addition of a second floor bridge from the center section of the Snyder Building. The second building will be constructed diagonally from the first, creating a circular feel to the complex and more of a campus look, McDonough said. “The classroom building will house two new biology labs and several computer labs, along with other classroom and office space,” McDonough said. “The second building will house student services, making a one-stop registration much easier.” McDonough is seeking funding for the new buildings from the University of Cincinnati as a part of the college’s normal annual requests. “We would like to borrow the money, and repay the loan with funds we receive from the state,” he said. “The state has changed the model for funds, giving either a set amount per year or an equivalent amount to repay financing. We would rather repay it as a loan to the university.”

The Clermont County Senior Services has announced its plans to move the nutritional center now operated in Bethel. The Bethel site will be closed May 1, and the center will be relocated in Batavia, according to information received by members of the Bethel Village Council. The nutrition center has been in Bethel for seven years, where it operated in the Bethel Baptist Church.

Record rainfall in Ohio and Kentucky March 1, 2 and 3 resulted in local streams and rivers leaving their banks, beginning the annual flood season. According to Ashley Kells at the Wilmington bureau of the National Weather Service, between six and eight inches of rain fell in Clermont County, especially in the southern portion of the county. New Richmond Mayor Jack Gooding said the river was at 59 feet Monday afternoon, and was expected to crest at about 63 feet by Wednesday.

Q: I am an individual experiencing financial difficulties. What are the differences between the types of bankruptcies I might consider? A: Before deciding to file, you should consult a bankruptcy attorney to determine your options, including any alternatives to bankruptcy. Most individuals who proceed choose between a Chapter 7 “straight” bankruptcy and a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which is sometimes called a “wage earner’s plan.” Q: What’s the difference between a Chapter 7 and a Chapter 13

LAW YOU CAN USE OHIO STATE BAR

bankruptcy? A: A Chapter 7 bankruptcy normally allows you to discharge certain debts, such as credit card bills. You can often keep your home and your car. For example, if your mortgage is current and your house is worth less than what you owe your lender, you can usually keep your home. Even if your house is worth more than what you owe

your lender, you may be able to keep it, depending on the amount of equity (the amount by which the value exceeds what you owe on your mortgage). If you have equity over a certain amount, the trustee appointed for you in your Chapter 7 proceeding may proceed to sell your home. This also applies to other assets. If you have assets that your trustee is able to sell to satisfy your debt, you may want to consider filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy instead. In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you make payments to the Chapter 13 trustee

through payroll deductions, usually for either 36 or 60 months. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to keep your home, but you must resume your normal monthly mortgage payments and pay any arrearage (payments you missed) over time through your Chapter 13 plan. Also, if your mortgage is current, but there is equity in your home for bankruptcy purposes, a Chapter 13 proceeding allows you to keep your home if you pay the equity amount to your creditors in installments over time. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy can be useful if your income level is too

high to allow you to qualify for a Chapter 7 proceeding. Q: What is the timeline for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy? A: Usually, you will first meet with your attorney to see if you qualify for a Chapter 7 proceeding, and if that is the best choice for you. Your attorney will ask you to bring financial documents such as pay stubs and tax returns. If you decide to proceed, the attorney will draft your bankruptcy petition, but before you can actually file the petition, you must take a credit counseling course, usually online or by telephone. After com-

pleting this course, you will meet with your attorney again to review your petition and sign it. Then, the petition is filed with the court electronically. About a month after the filing, you and your attorney will attend a “meeting of creditors” at the courthouse with your trustee and any creditors who wish to attend. At this meeting, the trustee may ask you for more documents, such as copies of tax returns that have not yet been filed. Each creditor normally has two months after the meeting to file any objections to See Law, Page A10

Continued from page 4 tention of the court.” There are three “limitations on a reviewing court’s decision to correct an error despite the absence of a timely objection at trial.” First, there must be an error – a deviation from a legal rule. Second, the error must be “plain.” That means it must be an obvious defect in the trial proceedings. And third, the error must have affected “substantial rights.” In prior cases we have interpreted this to mean that the trial court’s error must have affected the outcome of the trial. Even when all three elements are met, a court still has discretion whether or not to correct the error. The majority of our court found no plain error in the actions of the trial court in Lynn’s case because the jury instructions given by the trial court did not result in fundamental unfairness to Lynn. The trial court provided instructions on both assault and theft. In so doing, the court provided instruction on the underlying criminal offense stated in the indictment as well as the underlying criminal offense that conformed to the evidence presented at trial.

the conduct specified in the indictment. “Theft and assault are clearly distinct acts. The action taken by the trial court in instructing on assault, as well as theft, broadened the possible basis for conviction beyond that considered and specified by the grand jury. Lynn was convicted of a crime by a mode of commission different than what was presented to the grand jury.” For my part, I believe we do a disservice to defendants and the rule of law by not requiring precision in the indictment process. With this opinion, the majority planted another “close enough is good enough” garden for the state. Expect weeds.

The majority did concede that the better procedure would have been for the trial court to have granted the state’s motion to amend the indictment prior the commencement of the trial. According to the majority, an amendment of the indictment, as requested, would have been proper because removing the surplus word “theft” did not change either the name or identity of the crime charged, which was aggravated burglary. I cast the dissenting vote because I did not agree that our court should have employed a plain-error analysis in this case. Lynn filed an objection to the state’s motion to amend the indictment, thus properly preserving the issue whether he could be convicted of an offense different from that listed in the indictment. The court of appeals got it right. In its opinion, the court of appeals stated: “The state, in the indictment, specified Lynn’s purpose as one to commit theft. This was part of the grand jury’s determination of probably cause for issuance of the indictment. Lynn had a right to rely upon the act alleged in constituting the offense and rest his defense upon a lack of proof by the state of

Two 12-foot gorilla statues will welcome visitors to the Union Township Jungle Jim’s International Market, now set to open in late spring or early summer. “One of the gorillas will hold a sign welcoming you to the Foodie Entrance and the other will keep watch!” said Jungle Jim’s affable Director of Development Phill Adams during a late tour of the site. “Since the big sign went up out front (along with a segment of the old Kings Island monorail suspended on a tall bridge coming out of the sign), hundreds of people each day have been e-mailing, asking about the store on Facebook, or stopping by. This is going to be a cool store!” Slightly larger than the flagship Jungle Jim’s in Fairfield, Adams describes a visit to the jungle as ‘sensory overload.’ “Every time you come here you will have a new adventure,” he said. Everything in the store is larger

than life, even the refrigerated units. In a typical grocery store there would be 75-80 refrigerated units; the Clermont County jungle will have almost 300! “This store will have its own personality and will feature a 1942 fire truck as the centerpiece for the hot sauce, decorative watercraft in seafood, there will be a very unique honey display, and our wing sauce section will feature airplane parts collected during a ‘junking’ expedition,” said Adams. He said there will be a movie theater featuring the story of how Jungle Jim’s began and a documentary covering the building of the Eastgate store. Although he wouldn’t get specific, he did hint that the bathrooms in the Eastgate store will be unique, and purple. The 212,000 square-foot store includes a large glassed-in humidor, and a decorative wine area. In the rear of the building, there is a brick streetscape, and old Metro bus stops

have found a new lease on life on the outside of this unique building. More than 100,000 people are expected to visit the Clermont County Jungle Jim’s. “We’ve gotten a lot of questions about jobs at the Eastgate store,” he said. “We plan to hold a job fair about four weeks before the new store is set to open, however, people can go to our website, www.JungleJims.com and fill out an application.” When the Eastgate Jungle Jim’s International Market opens on Eastgate South Drive (near I-275 at SR32), Adams said the entire 415,000 square-foot plaza will be full of an eclectic mix of tenants. “This place is like an amoeba, constantly changing form!” said Adams. Expect to see bumper cars and cartoon characters everywhere…..along with a boatload of international foods, an olive bar, and what Adams describes as a ‘yummy’ sushi experience!

Senator: Infrastructure issues ‘Jungle rumblings’ in Clermont

Brown: A happy marriage Continued from page 4 then dropped us off at the local Holiday Inn in Silver Spring, Maryland. The next day we took the metro bus to our honeymoon destination, our little basement apartment located just off campus. The highlight of our week was a bus ride to the National Zoo for the day, and then having friends who owned a car pick us up to go out to eat at McDonald’s. The sign said that millions had been sold, and our honeymoon supper cost about $2. I wish I could say we have never had an argument, or gone to bed angry, and I wish I could say that we have always been considerate of each other’s feelings. There are a lot of things I wish I could say, but wishing never changes

anything. What I can say is this. Forgiveness is one of the most important qualities of a happy marriage. Yes, communication, mutual respect, small acts of kindness, patience, and honesty are all important, but when a hurt has been done those qualities all seem to be on hold until forgiveness occurs. Forgiveness is a healing salve in every lasting relationship. Yvonne and I have learned, at least for us, that spending time silently fretting about “who started it” is of less importance than one of us being willing to apply that healing salve with a soft “I’m sorry.” We have learned to do so without worrying about which of us should be saying those words. Interestingly,

the more we have practiced this attitude the less frequently we have a need to do so. In the early days of our marriage, not unlike many young couples, we seemed to think and behave as though we were responsible for each other’s happiness. Ironically, the effect was a lot of unhappiness as we each, not surprisingly, fell short of being able to do so. Fortunately, along the way we learned that, as individuals, we are each responsible for our own happiness, and that real joy in marriage is discovering personal happiness and then sharing that happiness with each other.

Don’t vote the sample ballot

CMYK

Dear Editor: Why does Clermont County endorse in a Primary? I believe that the Republican Central Committee misrepresents itself when it makes an endorsement. It makes the statement that the candidate who receives the majority of votes at its endorsement meeting is the endorsed candidate of the Republican Party. I believe its statement should be that this candidate is the endorsed candidate of the Republican Central Committee. In a primary election it is the voting members of the Republican Party who name the endorsed candidate as the nominee to run against the Democratic candidate (if any) in the general election in November. The leaders of the Central Committee are attempting to dictate their choice of candidates by the use of a sample ballot. It is obvious that they do not believe that individual Republicans are capable of making decisions regarding primary candidates without their input. With the recent scandal of the Central Committee endorsed commissioner, Archie Wilson, they have lost their right to tell us how to vote. How many Archie Wilsons are on this year’s sample ballot? Do not allow the central committee to dictate your candidate. Dave Cotes New Richmond

supplement their pay with private practice. Otherwise victims and government are represented by lawyers of lesser talent. Don White Clermont County Prosecutor

Concerned about trend Dear Editor: As a conservative voter in this county, I write to express my deep concerns about a local trend in Clermont County. A small group of people have usurped the Tea Party movement to promote its own individual goals and self-serving needs. The leadership of the local Clermont County Tea Party, which controls the Clermont County Republican Central Committee with the assistance of several elected office holders, are attempting to politicize the prosecutor’s office. The same group of individuals that brought us Archie Wilson are now trying to oust our prosecutor, Don White. An old adage is applicable to this situation: fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Please support Don White for re-election as the Clermont County Prosecutor. Politics have no place in the pursuit of justice. Allison Homan Union Township

Vote for Vince Faris Dear Editor: I respectfully ask you to vote for Vince Faris for Clermont County Prosecutor. This is your chance to stand up and make a change in Clermont County. Local elections have more impact on your everyday life than any other offices you vote for. Vince Faris will be a fulltime prosecutor. Vince Faris will bring years of trial experience and private business experience to the office of Prosecutor. Vince Faris is also a devoted family man and has been involved in the community with many years as a youth sports coach. Vince Faris will put the community first and not party politics. Vince Faris is dedicated to fairness and following the law. Vince Faris has the courage and conviction to prosecute based on the law and not popular opinion. Vince Faris has the integrity to do what is right. I urge you to vote for Vince Faris. John McGraw Batavia

Claims are not accurate

Support Faris for prosecutor

Dear Editor: My opponent sent a letter to the voters regarding salary payments to assistant prosecutors who are associated with my private law office. All five attorneys have average legal experience of over 30 years. All five are among the most talented, respected lawyers in their field of expertise. All five have limited private practices and do most of such work after business hours or on weekends. Each, like me, spends the vast majority of their work day on public business. Their salaries are a bargain for Clermont County. In addition, each lawyer pays 100 percent of their own overhead for office space, supplies, utilities, etc. The county saves all such expenses which exceed $8,000 a month. My opponent’s statement that all but one have fulltime benefits is blatantly false. If he truly checked the records, he would find that only two have health benefits. Ohio law permits prosecutors to have a private practice for a reason. The only way you can expect good lawyers to enter public service and stay there is to make compensation reasonable and permit them to

Dear Editor: This letter is in support of Vince Faris for Clermont County Prosecutor. I have known Vince for 20 years and during that time he has always demonstrated in-

tegrity, honesty, dedication and values which we should all strive to attain. He is a dedicated family man who has put them ahead of career goals. I first met Vince when our children played sports together in Batavia. During that time he volunteered to coach numerous teams and I saw the care, generosity and concern for not only the young people on his team but for everyone involved in the activity. Mr. Faris waited to run for office until he was able to make a full-time commitment to a full-time job. As I have grown to know him he has never demonstrated less than total commitment to improving the community. Vince is a person one would love to have as a neighbor because of his willingness to help others. It would be difficult to find another person who has the attributes and abilities that exceed those of Mr. Faris. I enthusiastically support Vince for the office of Clermont County Prosecutor and ask that you vote for him in the primary election. Ed Stewart Batavia

Vote Joe Uecker for senator Dear Editor: I am writing to ask you to join me in voting for Joe Uecker for State Senator in the 14th Senate District. We need his experience in Columbus. Joe Uecker has earned the respect of his peers through his hard work and strong family values. He works behind the scenes, doesn’t seek publicity, and works across the aisle to build consensus on tough issues. Joe Uecker’s experience is also needed because, due to term limits, at least two of the three State Representatives elected in the 14th Senate District will have no legislative experience. The third has only two years experience. These three individuals work closely with the state senator on issues affecting the entire region. I know from personal experience that, when you need help in Columbus cutting through the bureaucratic red tape, you want someone who knows who to talk with at the right state agency to get help. Joe Uecker has those relationships and that experience. Make sure your voice is heard on the critical issues that will be debated in the legislature. Joe Uecker will be your voice and your advocate. Please join me in voting for Joe Uecker March 6. Emily Niehaus New Richmond

Leaders not following tenets Dear Editor: Fiscal Responsibility. Limited Government. Free Markets. These are the principles of the Tea Party. Unfortunately, the leaders of the Clermont County Tea Party do not follow these basic

tenets of the movement. Tea Party candidate Archie Wilson was recruited to run against conservative incumbent Scott Croswell in the 2010 election because Croswell offended the party chieftains by cutting government budgets. During 2011, Archie Wilson’s first year as commissioner, he increased budgets of other elected office holders and Clermont County spent more than it received in tax revenue necessitating the raiding of the “rainy day” fund to balance the budget. The elected officials who were most vocal in their support of Archie Wilson received the largest percentage increases. Archie Wilson did not represent “fiscal responsibility” and “limited government,” and now faces criminal charges as reported in the local media. The same group that brought us Archie Wilson wants to replace our County Prosecutor Don White. Why? Don White has done an outstanding job as Clermont County Prosecutor for the last 23 years. The Prosecutor’s Office is too important to trust to another “experiment.” Stay with proven leadership and true conservative values. Vote for Don White. James Cornes Batavia Township

Vote White for prosecutor Dear Editor: I am writing to support the election of Mr. Don White. Some years ago, my young daughter was kidnapped in Clermont County and held prisoner for about 36 hours. During that time she was brutally raped repeatedly. She was then dumped on a side road with no clothes. Mr. White was instrumental in bringing this man to justice and has worked tiredly to keep him in prison. There were in fact other victims, one of whom came forward also. Mr. White is a competent professional who deserves to be reelected. We can all feel safer from having Mr. White on the job. Walter Smitson

COUNTRY TABLE BY MARCY WILSON When the day’s temperature starts below freezing and rises to 40 degrees, that’s when the sap starts flowing in the maple trees here in Ohio. The end result is maple syrup heaven for those of us who love this naturally sweet syrup. Try this dessert sauce which has a rich maple-caramel flavor. Spoon it hot and creamy over ice cream, or serve with soufflés and warm fruit desserts, like baked apples, sautéed bananas or poached pears.

Creamy Maple Dessert Sauce 1/2 cup maple syrup 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup whipping cream, unwhipped 2 tablespoons butter 2 teaspoons light corn syrup Combine everything in saucepan and heat over high heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and butter melts. Reduce to medium and cook, without stirring, 5 minutes. Store, covered, in refrigerator, up to a month and reheat before serving.

Country Kitchen Wisdom • In the United States, "maple syrup" must be made almost entirely from maple sap. • Maple-flavored syrups, including waffle and pancake syrups, contain maple syrup but may contain additional ingredients.

I have had the opportunity to be close to Doug these past years and have witnessed his devoted commitment to his family, church and the citizens of southern Ohio. His concern for others is evident whether it is in his position as Brown County Auditor or the organizer and chairman of the Annual Prayer Breakfast. In my political career, I have known no other public official who has been more ethical and capable than Doug Green. His leadership was evident when he was elected President of the Ohio State Auditors Association in 2008. I would like to encourage each of you to vote for Doug Green on March 6.

Law Continued from page 5 your request for a general discharge of debts or to the discharge of a specific debt. If no objections are filed in the two-month period, the court will enter the discharge. If your trustee requires nothing further, your case is closed and you are finished. If your trustee has assets to distribute, however, your case will remain open until your trustee completes his or her obligation to distribute money to your creditors. This can take many months. Q: How long does a bankruptcy remain on my credit report? A: A Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy normally remains on your credit report for seven to 10 years following your discharge. You can, however, begin to reestablish your credit immediately following discharge. For example, you can obtain a secured credit card by depositing $500 with your bank and receiving a credit card with a $500 limit.

The Grant Career Center cosmetology students recently participated in a local SkillsUSA contest to earn a spot on the team competing at regional competition in early March. The students were competing for the opportunity to represent Grant in the SkillsUSA Cosmetology contest where they will showcase their skills in haircutting and styling. Ten junior and senior students participated in the competition that included a written test and a technical haircut and style on a mannequin. The participants received an instruction sheet with the representation of a cut and style that they were to interpret and to recreate in a given amount of time. The students also demonstrated three types of curls in a wet set and styled it into an up-do or evening style. The styles were graded and the cut was checked for accuracy by guest judges Jen Fitzgerald, a Great Clips Salon Manager, Courtney Tebelman, a Grant Career Center cosmetology graduate who is currently working as a stylist at Great Clips, and Dolores Stuhlreyer, a retired cosmetology instructor.

Clermont County business Bioformix is expanding Ohio Governor John Kasich paid a visit to Clermont County Feb. 14 to announce an expansion project at Bioformix, Inc. in Miami Township. The expansion is expected to create hundreds of jobs locally over the next five years. “These are high-paying jobs that will come here,” said Kasich during a news conference. Bioformix is consolidating its operations and is moving the research and technical division of the company from Connecticut to the Wards Corner Road site, which will also serve as the company’s headquarters. The company develops high-performance sustainable plastics and adhesives. “Our company utilizes a low or no energy input to cure or polymerize, because we don’t use ovens and

heat, our process benefits the environment,” said Bioformix President Adam Malofsky. The governor used the occasion to note that the number one industry in Ohio involves plastics. “We need to encourage our young people to study science and other fields that can contribute to high-tech demands of the future,” said Kasich. “Ohio is a pretty cool place to be. We need to encourage our young people to stay in southwest Ohio, obtain a great education, and then contribute their talents to their community. Ohio is now number one in job creation in the Midwest; we are ranked number nine in job creation across America. The curtain is rising on our future here.” Last week Kasich was in Clermont County to attend

the ribbon cutting for Global Scrap Metal’s new Altimet facility in Batavia Township. He recently spoke at a news conference announcing expansion plans for Total Quality Logistics in Union Township. Ohio Congresswoman Jean Schmidt (R-2), also on hand for the announcement, congratulated Bioformix on its decision to expand in Clermont County and work with other local companies to build on industry segments that are strong here. Bioformix recently signed a deal with a Cincinnati company to provide them with additional manufacturing, research, and operational services. “Government doesn’t create jobs,” said Schmidt. “People do. We need to find ways to reduce the government burden.”

Let’s put an end to animal suffering It was a typical weekday morning at the hospital until we heard the thump outside. A cardboard box had landed in our driveway, apparently thrown from a moving vehicle. As it skipped across the pavement, five three-weekold kittens tumbled out. By the time we reached them, three were struggling to crawl, one was paralyzed, and another’s tiny head was crushed. We could not save the two injured kittens, but the three shivering survivors were treated at our hospital and literally nursed back to health with a bottle. This story is not unusual. We have all heard about the cat abandoned in a dumpster or the dog left to die by the side of a road. Overpopulation remains a heartbreaking problem. In seven years, one can cat can multiply to 420,000 over just two generations. It’s no wonder that 6 million cats are euthanized each year in the U.S. There could never be enough homes and shelters for them all. Strays lead miserable lives, plagued by disease, starvation, exposure, vehicle hits, and attacks by other animals. They are also a major pub-

lic nuisance, causing property damage, injury to humans, and the death of livestock and family pets. In addition, local governments spend millions each year to impound and euthanize homeless animals. We must keep in mind that animals can reproduce at an exponentially higher rate than humans. Dogs can have two litters a year with an average of six to nine puppies in each. Cats can produce three litters a year with about four kittens in each. For every person born in the U.S., 15 dogs and 45 cats are born. My colleagues and I ardently believe that most dogs and cats should be spayed or neutered. Animal shelters are full of adoptable pets with nowhere to go, the result of accidental or poorly planned breeding. Some owners might be lucky enough to find good homes for unwanted litters, but that doesn’t help the animals already in shelters.

Simply put, the most important thing you can do to prevent animal suffering is to have all your pets spayed or neutered. Very seldom is there such a simple solution to a widespread social problem. Spaying and neutering do not cause your pet to become fat and lazy. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Obesity and laziness are the result of overfeeding and inadequate exercise. Your pet’s personality will not be negatively affected. Aggression and other unwanted behaviors are not the result of surgery. In fact, male dogs and cats usually become more affectionate and less likely to roam outdoors. The surgery poses minimal risk to healthy animals. Most pets go home the same day and experience very little pain. The best age to spay or neuter is three to six months, although even senior pets can be safely altered with the proper precautions.

can eat in, drive through or carry out and a meal typically costs $7-$8. David, who also oversees Butterbee's American Grille down the street, said the idea behind Tender Towne was to create a new concept in the restaurant industry. “We’ve been in the restaurant business a long time,” David said. “We felt we need to provide this area with a fast, casual restaurant and hot, fresh food in a great environment.” David said they purchased the restaurant, which was formerly an Arby's, last year and completely renovated the space. They opened Tender Towne Feb. 20. Karen Harrison, a Mil-

ford resident who was one of many customers who ate at Tender Towne the first week, said the food was great and she would recommend eating at the restaurant. Joshua Baker, general manager of the restaurant, said since it has been open, they have heard overwhelmingly positive feedback from customers. “We’re really excited about it,” Baker said about how things are going so far. “We are glad to be able to bring our business here to the community.” Tender Towne is located at 603 Ohio Pike. David said they could offer the restaurant in more than one location in the future.

Emergency preparedness seminar to be held at March 9 The Bethel United Methodist Church will host a free Emergency Preparedness Seminar at 7 p.m. March 9. Chris Taylor, along with Katy Smith, will be leading this seminar sharing their heart for the church within the community. Do you have the resources it takes when there is an emergency? Do you

know who to contact or where to go? Do you have a back-up system to check on our friends, family, or neighbors in place? This will be beneficial for you, your family, as well as your church and community. This isn’t about the total breakdown of society, but it is about counting the

cost of discipleship within the Church. Come and engage, see what it takes to be a community of caring, a lighthouse in the darkness. Sign up or contact Associate Pastor Steve Fultz at (513) 734-7201 ext. 15. The church is at 402 West Plane Street in Bethel.

A unique fast food restaurant opened on Ohio Pike Feb. 20 specializing in tender, hand-breaded chicken that is served hot and fresh every day. “The food is high quality,” Nabih David, part owner of Tender Towne and vice president of David Restaurant Group, said. “It is not your cookie-cutter product.” David said that while the food is served fast, it does not feel like the customer is eating at a fast food restaurant. The dining room is upscale with comfortable seating, TVs and Wi Fi, and customers enjoy generous portions of hot, fresh food. “The chicken tenders are fresh and hand-breaded, never frozen,” David said. “I would consider us above the fast food category.” He said menu items include different variations of the signature tenders as well as garlic toast, cole slaw, fries and other sides and there is also a secret recipe tender sauce.

Milford swimmers finish record-setting year with near misses at state meet BY CHRIS CHANEY Sun staff

Overbeck leads Milford to first-round win over Western BY CHRIS CHANEY Sun staff

Rob Overbeck was a man amongst boys in Milford’s Southwest District sectional tournament win over Western Brown on Friday, Feb. 24, 68-45. Overbeck scored a game-high 15 points on seven-of-10 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds. The 6-foot-7 senior made his presence known in the first quarter as the Eagles were able to keep Western Brown’s smaller defense on their heels with their balanced inside-outside attack. It was Overbeck, however, that put Milford out of reach. “Offensively, we felt like inside-out was going to be our best option,” Milford coach Joe Cambron said. “Overbeck’s been so consistent for us all year and tonight it was fun to see him dominate a smaller team. A guy that big and that strong, he should dominate and he did.” Overbeck was able to keep the Broncos guessing as he would receive the ball in the low post, allow defenders to collapse and then kick it out to his shooters on the perimeter. “We hit shots,” Cambron said. “Seriously. We had a game plan of not letting them get a lot of threes. A

lot of our shots, we hit. We would go inside, Overbeck either scored or he kicked it out for wide open shots because they were having to double down on our big guys. We got shots and we hit them.” Milford’s Josh Roof, Brennan Farrell and Austin Taylor were the Eagles’ marksmen from three-point land, going a combined 510. Three of those five three-pointers came in the first quarter. “We got some transition buckets,” Cambron said. “It wasn’t just Rob. We were able to space out on the perimeter. When we got the ball inside, they had to choose, double (Overbeck) or guard the perimeter. They started off early trying to double and we hit shots on the perimeter and they got stuck.” Couple that outside shooting with Overbeck’s eight first-quarter points and the Broncos found themselves down 18-1 just 3:10 into the game. The Eagles ended the first quarter up 23-5 and it appeared as if Western Brown hadn’t yet realized what had hit them. “They were hitting their shots,” Western Brown coach Greg Foster said. “We were hoping they wouldn’t come out hitting their threes and they did. As

big as they are, we had to start in a zone and they hit their outside shots.” The Broncos were able to get some offense rolling in the second quarter, knocking down open looks from outside, but on missed shots, the Eagles were cleaning the boards, only giving the Broncos a single look at the basket. Conversely, on the Eagles’ offensive end, Overbeck, along with his little brother, Cy, and Garrett Mayleben, all who stand over 6-foot-6, gave Milford multiple looks nearly every time down the floor. Perhaps going unnoticed because of the potent Eagles offense was their team defense. Milford started out in a three-two zone to neutralize the Western Brown shooters, but the extended zone also led to some steals and points in transition. “Our goal was to not let them get a lot of threepointers and it was effective,” Cambron said. “They struggled with that early on, not being able to get shots off and they were missing shots and turning it over.” The Eagles opened up a 24-point lead with 5:27 remaining in the third quarter and with that, Cambron took the opportunity to get See Eagles, Page B13

The Milford boys’ swim team concluded a recordbreaking season on Saturday, Feb. 25 in Canton, Ohio as they placed 12th in the 200-yard medley relay and placed 13th in the 100yard butterfly. “We had some really good swims,” Milford coach Sarah Kleinfelter said. “We were disappointed that we didn’t make it to the finals in more events, but it was such a fast meet. Of course, you would expect it to be with it being state, but it was even faster than in years past.” The Aqua Eagles qualified for state in six events, but following the preliminary heats, were only able to qualify for the consolation finals in two events. The swimmers swim a preliminary heat and then the top 16 advance to the finals, eight into the “A-final” and eight into the “B-final.” The Eagles came in 17th in two events, 18th in another and 23rd in another. To get an idea of how tight these races are, the Eagles missed qualifying for the finals in the other four events by a combined 1.76 seconds. In the most heartbreaking of them all, Alex Frank, a senior, swam the 100-yard backstroke in 53.36 seconds, missing qualifying for the finals by only 0.04 seconds. “That was a lifetime best for Alex,” Kleinfelter said. “That swim broke the school record that he had broken the week before at districts and to miss the finals by four one-hundredths of a second, he was pretty

bummed.” The next closest call came in the 200-yard freestyle relay. The Milford team missed qualifying for that race by 0.22 seconds. “We were just a little off during that race,” Kleinfelter said. “It was probably because during warm-ups, some of the guys slipped on the block because they were so wet. It’s not an excuse, but you have to think that maybe that was still in the back of their mind.” In the 400-yard freestyle relay preliminaries, the Eagles swam it in 3:15.87, which put them in 18th place and 0.67 seconds behind the last qualifying spot. “Everybody swam 49s or better (on their individual splits),” Kleinfelter said. “But overall, we added a little bit of time, but it’s just one of those things you can’t explain.” Dave Matulis missed out on the finals in the 100-yard breaststroke by 0.83 seconds. He swam a 1:00.11 in the preliminaries. “Dave had an off weekend,” Kleinfelter said. “He was a little slower than what he’s been in the past. It could have been the long drive or any number of things, but he just didn’t have his best stuff.” In the two events the Eagles qualified for, the 200yard medley relay and the 100-yard butterfly, the guys swam well, but didn’t do enough to get inside the top10. “We went a 1:37 in the prelims,” Kleinfelter said, “so it was a little higher than districts, but it got us into the consolation finals. From there, we moved up a spot from our qualifying

time.” The Eagles swam 1:37.47 in the preliminary heat and a 1:37.51 in the finals to finish in 12th place. Senior Beau Robinson was the only individual to qualify for the finals at state. He swam the 100yard butterfly in 52.17 seconds in preliminaries to put him in 14th place. In the finals, Robinson swam a 51.69 to move him up to 13th. “Beau swam great, but the times were exceptional,” Kleinfelter said. “There were one or two 49s in the prelims. It was a really fast swim, Beau had one of his best times of the year, not his best, but up there.” Milford will lose a good chunk of their boys’ team to graduation next year, but Kleinfelter has already talked to her underclassmen about what they have to do next year. Of the state qualifiers, Cade Williams will be the only returning swimmer for the Eagles. Dave Matulis, Beau Robinson, Thomas Prus and Alex Frank are all seniors. Kleinfelter is looking forward to a couple of guys in particular to take the graduating seniors’ place. She believes Alex Hahn will become both the main butterflyer and breaststroker. And Kleinfelter hopes that Mitch Conner will be able to step in and be the Eagles’ freestyler. “They are going to have some very big shoes to fill,” Kleinfelter said. “I’ve talked to them about the things we’ll be looking for from them in the future and they are well aware that they will need to step up.”

Milford’s state qualifiers are, front row from left, Beau Robinson and Cade Williams; back row, Alex Frank, Thomas Prus and Dave Matulis.

Batavia defeats Taylor as Goshen falls to Wilmington

The Batavia Bulldogs made easy work of Taylor in their first-round sectional tournament game at Mason High School on Saturday, Feb. 25, winning 48-37, garnering them the unenviable task of facing Division III defending state champion Taft on Wednesday, Feb. 29. “We couldn’t play a better team in the second round,” Batavia coach Mike Hatfield said. “They’re big and athletic. They’re a lot of things that we aren’t, but I know that we will go out there and play our best.” Even with Taft on the horizon, the Goshen Warriors would gladly trade positions with the Bulldogs as they saw their season come to an end at the hands of Wilmington, 56-38, earlier in the day Saturday. Goshen’s first-round game was a microcosm of their season. Despite having everyone back and healthy,

the Warriors fell victim to their tendency to take some plays off when they cannot afford to. “We have to get some kids to play harder consistently,” Goshen coach Scott Wake said. “When they want to play, we can do some things. But we have some times when we put it in cruise control and it kills us. Unfortunately, we’ve seen that all year long.” Goshen did show their ability early in their game with Wilmington, going on a run in the second quarter to take a 17-15 advantage. The Warriors’ defense caused 12 first-half turnovers, which translated into some easy baskets, but their inability to finish around the rim as the half ended allowed Wilmington to retake the lead going into the break. “We should have had the lead at halftime,” Wake said. “We couldn’t make some easy shots and we needed to take care of the ball more.”

Wilmington came out of the locker room smelling blood in the water and Goshen wasn’t able to respond. “We came down, missed some shots, made some bad decisions and turned the ball over,” Wake said. “They were able to knock some shots down and we always seem to have that lull in our game and that was it.” The Warriors were outscored 33-19 in the second half, never able to get within nine points. Batavia experienced no such lull, putting Taylor behind the eight ball from the beginning. Senior Dwayne Smith led the charge hitting two three-pointers to start the game. The Yellow Jackets found themselves down 12-6 after the first quarter, but the game didn’t appear to be as close as the score would indicate. “They would have stayed in that zone if (Smith) doesn’t come out and hit those two threes and we’ve strug-

gled with zones,” Hatfield said. “That was a great start. We don’t shoot it that great from out there, but his shots got them out of the zone and into man and we play better against that.” The Bulldogs defense really cracked down in the second quarter as Batavia tried to put the game away early. Taylor had a tough time getting clean looks at the basket. The Yellow Jackets scored their first field goal of the period with 1:00 left and by that time, Batavia had built a 24-9 lead. “We did a great job (on defense),” Hatfield said. “They run an open post and cut hard and we did a great job of being off the ball on the weak side and jamming them up. We were going to make them beat us from outside, not off the dribble.” Batavia came out of the locker room a little flat, which is to be expected with such a big lead. After

Of the 48 wrestlers from Clermont County to advance to the district tournament this past weekend, 40 of them were whittled away to leave eight placers representing the area at the state tournament this weekend, March 1-3 in Columbus. With the top four placers advancing to state from each of the four district tournaments, only 16 wrestlers from each weight class advance to compete at the Jerome Schottenstein Center and a chance at a state title. New Richmond leads the way for the area, sending four wrestlers up to the state capital headlined by Brody Hooks at 113 lbs. “Brody’s got a really good draw,” New Richmond coach Deron Shinkle said. “If he could make a dent in the first few rounds that would be great. I think he has a very good chance (to place).” Hooks came in first at the

Southwest District tournament held at Goshen High School, with a 10-2 major decision over Lyle Plummer of Chaminade-Julienne. Along with Hooks, teammates Austin Skaggs, Cody Gabelman and J.R. Forsee will be travelling to Columbus. Skaggs placed third in his weight class (120 lbs.), winning the consolation match over Bryson Laytart of Miami Trace. “Austin has a little tougher draw being on the same side of the bracket as some guys with experience at that level,” Shinkle said. “If he is able to get to the semis, it would be great.” Gabelman, who wrestles at 126 lbs., also placed third at the district tournament. He defeated Matt Middleton of Franklin 7-2. “Cody has a tough draw,” Shinkle said, “but he’s wrestled well in the bigger tournaments we’ve been in. I don’t need to say anything to him or mess with his head. He’s been wrestling well and he’s on a mission.

Division II state champion, won the Goshen district by technical fall, wrestling’s version of the mercy rule, 18-2 over Gallia Academy’s Zack Tackett. Archer lost in the third place match to Miami Trace’s Josh Teasley, but the fourth-place finish was all he needed to proceed upstate.

Bethel-Tate, who had 10 wrestlers advance to districts, was unable to qualify anyone for state. Both Aric Peters (120 lbs.) and Chip Ratcliff (132 lbs.) finished fifth. In Division I, Glen Este was able to advance one of their eight district qualifiers to state. Drew Kearns, wrestling at 132 lbs. came in third at his district tournament, which was held at Fairfield. Finally, in Division III, Williamsburg’s Jordan Smith advanced out of his district meet at Kettering Fairmont to earn the right to wrestle at the state tournament at 285 lbs. Smith placed third in his district, defeating Devon Thomas of Roger Bacon 10-6. Smith is 33-10 on the season and will face Paul Kelby of Smithville in the firs round. The state tournament will be held this weekend, March 1-3 with the first place matches being wrestled at approximately 5:45 p.m. on Saturday, March 3.

New Richmond’s Brody Hooks, shown here flipping an opponent, qualified for the state tournament by finishing first at the Goshen district tournament on Feb. 25. Hooks wrestles at 113 lbs.

He can make some waves up there.” The final New Richmond qualifier is the only junior of the bunch, J.R. Forsee who wrestles at 285 lbs. Forsee placed fourth at the district tournament, but has state qualified before. “He has a decent draw,” Shinkle said. “He’s up against the No. 1 wrestler

from Perry. (Perry) has a strong program, they sent six wrestlers to state, but J.R. is wrestling well. All of the kids are at this point.” Also advancing to state in Division II are Goshen’s Chaz Gresham and Batavia’s Gabe Archer. Both are wrestling in the 182 lbs. weight class.

some of his guys who don’t see much playing time a chance to gain some postseason experience. Western Brown was able to cut into the lead a bit with the backups on the floor, but the Eagles reestablished their size down low en route to a 23-point win. Milford advanced to play Withrow on Tuesday, Feb. 28, a team that Cambron saw as a bit more of a matchup problem. “It’s going to be a phenomenal game,” he said. “We’re on a roll, we’ve won six in a row, our guys have a lot of confidence, but that’s a really good basketball.

We’ll game plan and try to come up with something for Tuesday.” Milford was scheduled to play Withrow on Tuesday, Feb. 28 at 8 p.m. at Fairfield. Western Brown (17-4) – Piatt 0 2 2, Carroll 1 0 2, H. Purdon 2 2 7, Woodyard 3 3 12, Allen 1 0 2, Nickell 4 3 12, Kuttler 2 0 4, Howard 1 0 2, Siemer 0 2 2. Totals: 14 12 45.

Halftime: Milford 40-18. 3pointers: W (Woodyard 3, H. Purdon, Nickell); M 5 (Roof 3, Farrell, Taylor).

Taylor hit a few shots, the Bulldogs refocused and took control of the game, never letting Taylor back within single digits en route to an 11-point win. With Taft on the horizon, Hatfield believes his team will have all they can handle with the defending state champions, but if they are able to dictate the tempo, they could have a shot. “I expect (Taft) to run up and down and pressure us a whole bunch,” Hatfield said. “We going to have to try to take care of the basketball and slow them down. If we can run our offense, that can really slow people down. I’m hoping that we’re able to do that.”

The Glen Este girls’ bowling team had an above average season, going 16-3 overall and 14-2 in the Fort Ancient Valley Conference, culminating it all with a run to the district tournament at Eastern Lanes on Saturday, Feb. 25. “That’s your goal every year (to make it to districts),” Glen Este coach Kathy Demarko said. “You want to get there and any coach worth their salt is trying to get their kids there. It means the world to make it that far.” At Eastern, the Lady Trojans had a little trouble adjusting to their lanes, finding it hard to get a first or second bowler able to pick up their spares to start. Glen Este finished 18th as a team for a tournament total of 3208. Any hopes the Lady Trojans had of qualifying individually were squashed as they had difficulty adjusting to the lane changes. At the district tournament, each team is assigned

to three different lanes for each of the three individual games and as Demarko explained, it’s hard to get comfortable when just when you think you’ve got one lane down, you have to move to another one. “Leslie (Campbell) went for 216 in the first game, then we switched lanes and she drops to 146,” Demarko said. “We moved again in the third game and she was back up to 192. If she was able to pick up three more spares, then she would have qualified.” Campbell, a sophomore, was the closest to qualifying for state as an individual for Glen Este. She finished in 20th position overall, which when you take out the individuals ahead of her who qualified with their team, turns into 12th place. The fifth and final individual qualifier beat her by 35 pins. The second highest individual for Glen Este was Amber Walters who bowled games of 207, 151 and 160 for a total of 523. “When push comes to shove, your bowlers have to

be prepared,” Demarko said. “I can do my best to tell them the shots and help them get there, but when it comes down to it, they have to execute the shots.” Glen Este’s third-leading bowler was Haley Vogelsang. The sophomore averaged 167.3 during the year, but bowled games of 144, 144 and 147. “Haley just couldn’t get lined up,” Demarko said. “She definitely wanted it bad enough, but she wasn’t prepared to settle in to the shot.” With the season over, Demarko talked about what it’s like to think about the “what ifs” on her way home. “There’s always a lot of things I second-guess about after the tournament is over,” she explained. “Like what if I switched her to this spot, and her to that spot. When you’re coaching, it comes down to who can step up. I can tell them where the shot is, but it’s up to them to hit it.“ Demarko is excited about the future of the program, if there is a future. Bowling is

expensive and with the new levy up for election, if it doesn’t pass then it is on her and her team to raise enough money to be able to bowl. That price tag can get to well over $500 per bowler. Allowing herself to assume there will be a season next year, Demarko believes she has something to build upon “I have the kids who aren’t playing basketball or baseball or running track, so I usually have to use some time to get them to understand where the shots are,” she said. “With this core group, they have been with me for a year and a half, it will be my job next season to send them to the next level.” Demarko is dedicated to growing the sport in the community, holding a camp during the last week of June during which 50 kids, ages 8-18 come in and bowl from 9 a.m. to noon. The camp is something Demarko enjoys and she believes that getting the kids involved is important to the future of the sport.

New Richmond, Goshen seasons end at Withrow BY CHRIS CHANEY Sun staff

Goshen and New Richmond’s girls’ basketball teams went in opposite directions all year long, but when it was all said and done, both teams saw their seasons come to an end on the floor at Withrow High School in the sectional tournament. On one end of the spectrum, the Lady Lions went 17-5 overall and 8-2 in the Southern Buckeye Conference to finish in second place behind Western Brown. “It’s been a magical season for me and the kids and the community as a whole really,” New Richmond coach Brad Hatfield said. “We had a group of seniors here, that as sophomores, played on a team that was 5-16. Then they turn around as seniors and have a team that’s 17-5. That’s as magical a turnaround for a high school career as you can see, so I’m really proud of that senior group.” On the other end of the spectrum, Goshen went 912 overall and 3-7 in the SBC in a year that saw the Lady Warriors try and adapt to first-year coach, Dave Mason as well as dealing with injuries throughout the season. “It’s tough to get a new coach,” Mason said. “Seven seniors getting a new coach; it could have been a lot worse. We dealt with injuries all year, but we were very fortunate with the senior leadership we’ve had, especially for those freshman. The future looks bright.” For both the Lady Lions and Lady Warriors, their seasons ended in the second round of the sectional tournament. New Richmond won their first round game against Ross, 42-20, and the Lady Warriors received a bye to the second round. The downfall for both Clermont teams came with their inability to finish around the basket. In New Richmond’s case, most of their offense runs through 6-foot-5 sophomore Josie Buckingham. Talawanda, having scouted the Lady Lions, were well aware of Buckingham’s presence under the hoop and made a point to try and frustrate the center. “They were being physical. Josie was getting some contact and wasn’t finishing easy shots that she usually makes,” Hatfield said. “We’re not going to win when Josie doesn’t have a good game.” Even with Talawanda prodding Buckingham and frustrating her with contact away from the ball, the sophomore was able to score eight first-half points

and keep the Lady Lions close into the third quarter. Talawanda came out of the locker room trying to put the game out of reach, going on a 12-0 run to begin the half. “I think we weren’t really attacking the gaps and looking for our shots,” Hatfield said. “Against a high-pressure team like Talawanda, if you don’t attack them back, it’s not going to be good.” The run to start the half, coupled with foul trouble for Buckingham and senior leader Sarah Shoemaker, the Lady Lions put themselves in a hole they couldn’t dig out of. Buckingham fouled out with 4:59 remaining the half, which really took the wind out of New Richmond’s sails. The Lady Lions fought hard to the final whistle, but without their big man in the middle, they were forced to shoot from outside. New Richmond simply didn’t have enough firepower and fell to the Lady Braves, 51-40. In Goshen’s secondround match-up with Mount Healthy, the Lady Warriors used their defensive pressure to keep the Lady Owls’ high-octane offense in check in the first quarter, giving up just six points made up of free throws and one made field goal. “The effort first half was awesome,” Mason said. “We knew offensively, (Mount Healthy) had some skill players. Our girls did a nice job. Hanging tight, our turnovers hurt us and against a good team like

that, you can’t turn the ball over.” What turned out to be the thorn in Goshen’s side was Mount Healthy’s Brandi Henschen, who scored a game-high 13 points. Henschen was just 4-for-20 from the field, but she scored 10-straight points to close out the first half to give the Lady Owls a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. “We knew Brandi was a good shooter,” Mason said. “She’s open when she gets in the gym. We knew we couldn’t leave her and we did a few times in the second quarter.” The Lady Warriors were right there at the half, down just four, 18-14, but the third quarter saw Goshen’s scoring woes compound as they were only able to score three points, leaving them down 29-17 heading into the last frame. “We had trouble finishing,” Mason said. “Our effort never changed, we were playing hard with two minutes left in the game, but it’s just frustrating. Turnovers kill you and we weren’t physically strong enough at times.” With the Lady Warriors offense stagnant, Mount Healthy added to their lead in the fourth quarter, winning going away, 42-23. The future is bright for both New Richmond and Goshen. The Lady Lions bring back three starters and Goshen has a solid group of underclassmen that Mason believes are ready to take the program to the next level next season.

Lions utilize timely shooting, solid defense in sectional tournament victory BY CHRIS CHANEY Sun staff

New Richmond relied on some timely outside shooting and some clutch free throws to take out Norwood 48-42 in overtime of a Division II Southwest District sectional tournament game on Saturday, Feb. 25 at Mason High School. The Lions victory set up an allSouthern Buckeye Conference matchup with Clermont Northeastern for the right to advance to the sectional finals. “I think both teams are really excited about it,” New Richmond head coach Brian McMonigle said. “CNE’s done a really nice job this year. A lot of people didn’t give them a whole lot of credit early on, they started off a little rough, but later in the year they really started to come through. “They hit a bunch of big shots against us the first time we played them and I think both teams are really going to be looking forward to it. It’s an all-SBC chance to get to the sectional championship.” New Richmond’s road to that all-SBC matchup had Norwood standing in their way while CNE was able to get a bye in the tournament draw. The Lions were able to vanquish a streaky Norwood squad with a fourguard offense that shot well from behind the arc and had 6-foot-3 sophomore John Ernst banging down low. New Richmond got off to a cold start, but Austen Craig shot the Lions’ way out of an early deficit to give New Richmond a 9-6 lead after one quarter. Norwood depended on Glenn Frank and Davante Pitts for most of their offensive output. Both Frank and Pitts are athletic guards who can get into the lane, draw

contact and finish. Frank ended the game with 15 points and Pitts had 14. Frank and Pitts led the Indians on an 11-0 run to put New Richmond down eight with 2:00 left in the half. Evan McKinley and Nick Hill answered the Norwood run with a pair of threepointers to get the Lions back within striking distance going into the second half. The Lions hot shooting carried over into the third quarter as they chipped away at Norwood’s lead to tie the game at 27 with 1:52 left in the third quarter. “We have a couple kids who can get to the basket and we have a couple good post players that can score inside,” McMonigle said. “We try to balance that out, but right now we have had more open threes than we had inside, so we tried to take advantage of it.” Leading 32-28 after the third quarter, the Lions looked to step on Norwood’s throat, extending their lead to 10 points, 4030 with 3:58 to play. However, the Lions were unable to score throughout the remainder of regulation, relying on their defense to get them the victory. “We really thrive on defense, we focus on it everyday in practice,” McMonigle said. “We sometimes go through those scoring droughts and today was a prime example of getting through those things. Our kids kept their heads today and that was the best thing that I saw.” New Richmond very nearly let the game slip from their grasp as Norwood’s Robert Boston got to the hoop, scored and drew a foul, tying the game at 40 with 16.3 seconds remaining. Fortunately for the Lions, Boston missed the free throw, forcing over-

time. In the extra period, the Lions’ Austin Wells did most of the damage for New Richmond from the foul line, going five-for-six. “He’s one of the kids we like to get in the game late in the game because he’s a strong guard,” the coach said. “He’s going to make good decisions and he’s a good free throw shooter. He’s going to go up there and be confident, he’s not going to be worried about the situation.” The Lions advanced with a six-point win for the opportunity to win the season series against conference rival CNE. The Rockets were at the game scouting and head coach Jason Iles sees their opportunity to play New Richmond for a third time as a chance to make school history. “Obviously we played New Richmond twice and we took the first-round bye to see Norwood and them play,” Jason Iles said. “I think we got a pretty good draw and we matchup well with New Richmond. It would be big for the school because I think we have a chance to get to the sectional finals.” The game between CNE and New Richmond was scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 25 at 6:30 p.m. at Mason. New Richmond (11-10) – McKinley 1 0 3, Gundler 4 0 10, Craig 3 0 8, Wells 1 7 10, Leffler 1 0 2, Hill 3 1 9, Ernst 3 0 6. Totals: 16 8 48. Norwood (9-12) – Frank 5 4 15, Pitts 6 2 14, Hobbs 2 0 4, Schneider 1 0 2, Boston 2 0 4, Canover 1 0 3. Totals: 17 6 42. Halftime: Norwood 2117. 3-pointers: NR 8 (McKinley, Gundler 2, Craig 2, Wells, Hill 2); N 2 (Canover, Frank).
