Farm Bureau is seeking leaders for campaign Village must petition state to be
50 cents
Bethel successful with financial recovery
Clermont County Farm Bureau is seeking leaders to help with the annual membership campaign. In addition to helping the organization grow, volunteers have the opportunity to earn fun prizes. “Membership is vital to Farm Bureau,” said Cindy Cassell, Clermont County membership co chair. “We look forward to growing our numbers and having fun while we do it.” The campaign will officially kick off Jan. 23. Volunteers can learn more about the process as well as get a preview of prizes. “We have prizes for folks who participate at every level,” said Cassell. Volunteers can earn oneof-a-kind Farm Bureau clothing, many prizes including a Longaberger basket complete with engraved lid and protector, a cruise for two, and a trip to American Farm Bureau Federation’s 2013 annual meeting.
released from fiscal emergency BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff
The village of Bethel has made serious ground eliminating spending in recent years, and is getting closer to being out of fiscal emergency. Mayor James Dick was
emotional about the announcement, which he made at the Dec. 15 council meeting soon after the village officials met with state auditors. “We understood the village is responsible, and we needed to get out of debt as quickly as
possible,” Mayor Dick said. Mayor Dick said the state declared the village in fiscal emergency in December of 2009 when they had more than $400,000 of debt across four village funds. He said in 2008, the village’s financial situation was worse with an estimated $618,000 in deficits across five funds. Mayor Dick announced that if everything goes as planned, Dec. 31 the village is project-
ed to have between $5,000 and $11,000 in the general fund, with all deficits payed off. “In two years that is impressive,” Mayor Dick said about the progress made. “We should still be in debt.” He said the reason the village is not in debt is because of the hard work of village officials who worked to be very conservative on expenditures with a goal to spend less than 85 percent of the revenue.

Anticipation for the new Jungle Jim’s International Market to open in Eastgate is growing daily. What’s going to be inside? How big does the store look? What specialty items will they carry? How will it be decorated and, of course, when will it open? Questions are being directed to Jungle Jim’s Facebook page, neighboring store owners, local government officials and anyone associated with the international market. And while some of these questions can be answered, many are being kept a secret as progress is made inside and outside the old Biggs Place shopping center in Union Township. What can be said, is progress on the store is steady, and new things are being added daily. “Now that everything has settled in, we’re really ready to start pushing hard,” Phill Adams, developmental director of the Eastgate location, said. He said as of late, construction crews have had to prepare the old biggs to become the

Mayor Dick said in 2009 the village spent only about 80 percent of the revenue. In 2010 they spent only 70 percent and this year he said they spent only 64 percent. “How we made it happen is because we did better than 85 percent,” he said. Mayor Dick said much of the credit goes to Bill Gilpin, fiscal officer, Travis Dotson,

George Brown has served as the executive director of Clermont Senior Services for the past 20 years. After leading the agency through two decades of change and growth, he will be retiring at the end of this month. “It has been enjoyable to be a part of a team that has been able to do so many things to help older adults stay in their homes,” Brown said of his years with the agency. Brown said that he felt fortunate in coming to work at for an organization that already had a firm foundation when he started. In 1991, Brown took over as director of the agency from Lois Brown Dale, who had served as executive director from the agency’s founding in 1969. “She had been the director for 21 years before I arrived,” Brown said. “Clermont County was the first county in Ohio to pass a levy for senior services – that’s the kind of leadership that she provided.” Much has changed in Brown’s 20 years at Senior Services. He said that when he arrived, the agency didn’t even have a fax machine. “We would walk across the hall to the United Way office and them a dime when a fax came through for us,” he said. That first year, the agency had a budget of approximately $2 million and employed

around 60 employees, nine of whom provided home care services. Today, Clermont Senior Services has a budget of $8 million, which funds 180 employees, including 60 contracted employees who provide home care. This growth makes it possible for the agency to serve a population that has grown from about 13,000 seniors 20 years ago to 35,000 or more today. But for Brown, one of the most significant things that has been accomplished during his tenure is the development of senior housing. “For me, that’s been one of the most rewarding things that I have had the pleasure of doing,” Brown said. Over the last 15 years, six senior housing facilities have been built by Clermont County Senior Services.
When the next facility, Dimmitt Woods, opens in Batavia in 2013, a total of 264 individual senior apartments will have been created by the agency. But Brown says that not everything has changed during the past 20 years. “The most significant thing that has not changed is the dedication of our employees in providing ‘service with heart,’” Brown said. “It may sound like a cliche, but it really is the hallmark of what we’ve been about, it has been a real constant.” Brown says that he is looking forward to pursuing new adventures in his retirement. He will continue his weekly column for The Clermont Sun, in which readers may be privileged to read about many of those adventures.

new Jungle Jim’s by renovating the space that will house each different section of the market including a deli, bakery, international food section, cheese shop, produce section and much more. “We’ve stripped everything in here and started over,” Adams said about the space. He said they had to make improvements to walls, ceilings and the drainage of the building and also had replace much of the technology that was outdated or unnecessary for the new store. Now that much of this timeconsuming work is nearing completion, Adams said they are beginning to put the design plan into action, and the innards of the super market are taking form. The entrance and exit are well laid out, designed to minimize traffic and keep things flowing. Close to the front, the structures of the restrooms are up, and while Adams can’t disclose the details of the restrooms, he said they will be something special. Near the restrooms there will also be a movie theater where guests can watch the evolution of Jungle Jim’s International Market, which was originally a road-side market founded by owner Jim Bonaminio in 1974. Moving into the store, guests will be directed into the American food and natural foods section. On the right side of the store they will be able to experience a variety of cultural foods in the international section. Included in this area is an entire section dedicated to hot sauce. There will also be a candy shop, deli and bakery in the store with the seafood section toward the back of the store. Several of these sections required numerous refrigerators and freezers as well as space for employees to work behind the counter. Concrete had to be removed and replaced to get these sections up to par. The dairy section especially took a lot of work, as construction crews had to rip up much of the underground air system and start from scratch.
“It looks like a bomb shelter,” Adams said about the construction. “We’re making it right.” Close to dairy, the produce section will also be similar to Jungle Jim’s Fairfield location, food stands filled with fresh, and rare fruits and vegetables will span a wide area. And finally, the back left area of the store is where the large beer and wine section will be. A huge room will house cold beer and there will be a tasting bar. The wine section will have dozens of wine racks with a variety of wines, in addition to a fine wine cellar created from mostly recycled materials. There will also be a cigar shop and humidor, and a second entrance and exit in the section. Eventually, Adams said, they hope to turn the exterior of the building into an outdoor bar. The exterior is already designed and looks like a chateau, with stone storefronts and intricate details. Guests can exit the store in that section, or in the front of the store close to where they came in. Dozens of cash registers have been installed and Adams said there are more to come. “I can see the store already done when I’m walking through it,” Adams said. Section managers will work to bring in the wide variety of foods and product into their section, so when people ask “Do you carry this?” they have an answer, and most of the time will be yes, because the selection at Jungle Jim’s is expansive. Putting things in place and decorating will be the final steps, and will be when most of the Jungle flair will come out. “Jungle Jim” and other employees have worked hard to find many of the fun decorations and larger-than-life accessories that make the store interesting and fun. And like the Fairfield location, each piece will have a story. “The sensory overload in both stores is going to be phenomenal,” Adams said. In addition, Adams said, the store is designed to flow smoothly for both customers and employees. Jungle-themed walls are
being installed to help separate sections and if guests are ever wondering where they are, they can simply look up to find color-coded ceiling paint over different sections of the store. And even though purchasing the former Biggs Place location has turned into a lot of work, Adams said they knew what they were getting into, and are glad that they selected the Union Township location as Jungle Jim’s second market. “We knew it was going to be a costly adventure, we weren’t surprised,” Adams said. He said Union Township administrators have been fantastic working with the company not only by offering incentives for them to locate in the township, but also by working with them on transportation plans, parking and more. One of their big concerns has been getting people in and out of the store once it opens and especially on opening day. Adams said they have worked with township administrators, who are going to allow employees to park at the community center, and they are also re-working the entrance to the shopping center so it can handle more traffic. Union Township officials have already made improvements to Filager Road, which runs behind Jungle Jim’s, so it can handle delivery truck traffic to the back of the store. With the announcement that Union Township will be gaining even more business from expanding Total Quality Logistics, Adams is confident they chose the right location and is excited for the new market to be up in running. “This is about to burst,” Adams said about the Union Township area. “The excitement, the frenzy, I think there is more coming.” His only hope now is that surrounding businesses and restaurants will follow suit in improving the shopping center. “Everyone has got to step up,” he said. “There are a lot of people here and a lot of people coming. This is a grand slam location.”

The Southwest Ohio Chapter of Safari Club International along the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife donated venison to needy families in seven Southwest Ohio counties. Hunters wishing to donate their deer to a food bank or outreach center are, in most cases, required to pay for the processing of the venison. Organizations such as Safari Club International, local conservation clubs and private meat processors have helped absorb the cost of deer processing many communities. These efforts have resulted in recent donations of nearly 600lbs. of venison to families in Brown, Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton, Montgomery and Warren counties. Food pantries generally receive very little red meat donations. Any monetary donations they do receive are then used to buy meat. The monies cannot be used on administrative fees and the people that run food pantries and do outreach in their communities do so as volunteers and not paid

employees. The Southwest Ohio Chapter of Safari Club International has funded venison donations for over 12 years through their Sportsmen Against Hunger program. The demand for low-fat, low-cholesterol, preservative-free, high-protein meat is great and continues to grow. SCI estimates that in 2008, 415,605 pounds of wild game meat were donated to relief organizations in American and around the world.
In 2009, the figure jumped to 422,047 pounds and during the 2010 season, they reached a new high of 477,392 pounds – enough for 1.9 million meals. Hunters in Ohio will have plenty of opportunity to harvest multiple deer again this year during the 2001-2012 deer seasons.For more information on donating venison, visit www.wildohio.com.

Mayor Dick was happy about the progress made and said he is proud that the village was able to get out of debt quickly, however he warned officials to continue to be cautious with expenditures in the village. “The deficit funds are gone,” Mayor Dick said. “But what we don’t have are the reserve funds.” Mayor Dick will be leaving office this year and Alan Ausman, who was elected Nov. 8, will become the new mayor. Mayor Dick said Ausman will be responsible for continuing the financial recovery plan, which includes making a formal request to the state to be released from fiscal emergency. The state will then look at the villages progress and five-year forecast before they make their decision. Mayor Dick said this could happen as early as March of 2012.

Clermont County. McDonald served during the Vietnam War and was inducted as a result of his heroism in ground combat against an armed force in the Republic of Vietnam March 10, 1968. During a search for missing members of McDonald’s reconnaissance element, he fired and entered the enemy bunker, killing enemy soldiers while his platoon retrieved the missing members. He was honored and received a Bronze Star with Valor Device for his service. “I want to thank everyone for being here and yes, this is a great honor,” McDonald said during the ceremony. “And I thank God I am from this country.” Isaacs was inducted for his actions on March 26, 1966 during the Vietnam War. He was serving as a squad point man during a search and destroy mission in Vietnam. Because of his actions searching for Vietcong, he helped prevent his squad from receiving Vietcong fire. “Private First Class Isaacs’ personal bravery and devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service,” Howard Daugherty, president of the commission, read at the ceremony. Isaacs earned a Bronze Star Medal with a Valor Device for his service. “This is not just for me, it’s for all the guys who came home during that era and the guys who didn’t come home,” Isaacs said. The Ohio Veterans Hall of
Fame, sponsored by the Ohio Department of Veterans’ Services selects and honors veterans who have honorably served their county through military service and continue to serve citizens through their actions and accomplishments afterward. Ulysses S. Grant was inducted as part of the first class of the hall of fame in 1992. Although he had already passed away, many people acknowledged Grant’s accomplishments then and also acknowledged his accomplishments at the ceremony Dec. 21. Loretta Fuhrman, who has been the long-time caretaker for Grant’s birthplace in Point Pleasant, spoke about Ulysses S. Grant and the contributions he made throughout his life, during the ceremony. Grant was born in Point Pleasant and raised in Georgetown. He attended local schools until he was appointed to attend West Point Military Academy. He served in the Civil War, served as Secretary of War from 18671868 and later became the 18th president of the United States. Grant was one of six presidents with military service to be inducted as the first class of the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame. William “Bill” Knepp, of Clermont County, was also inducted to the hall of fame. Knepp, who served in the Korean War, followed his military service by contributing to the Milford community. Daugherty said Knepp spoke frequently at Live Oaks Vocational School in Milford and was also a guest lecturer
at Harvard Business School. He has made appearances at local elementary schools to speak about the Declaration of Independence, United States Constitution and the importance of patriotism as the Clermont County Town Crier. “Sir, I congratulate you and it is an honor to stand beside you,” Daugherty said as he introduced Knepp. Knepp explained that he and his wife, Nancy, became engaged to be married just before he was drafted, and the draft letter he received explained that recently married couples could delay their service if they chose to. Nancy wouldn’t allow this to happen and told Knepp to serve his country. Knepp said he would not be where he is today without her support. Knepp was inducted to the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame Nov. 10, 2011 at the Franklin County Veterans Memorial in Columbus. “I accept this honor on behalf of, first of all my wife, Nancy, who encouraged me and second, the men who served with me and the people of Clermont County who supported me,” Knepp said. In addition to veterans’ service commissioners, Congresswoman Jean Schmidt was also present at the ceremony to congratulate and thank the veterans. “Your valor, your courage an your love of our nation does not go unnoticed in Clermont County,” Congresswoman Schmidt said. “To John and Larry and to my dear friend Bill, I want to thank all of you for what you’ve done.”

Court deals with exclusions to homeowner policy Here at the Supreme Court, we often review cases that require us to construe the language of insurance policies. In the case of Michael and Marilyn Hunter, who live in Hamilton, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati, the issue was with the language contained a homeowner’s policy. Michael and Marilyn’s home in Hamilton is insured by a homeowner’s policy issued by Westfield Insurance Company. That policy also provides the Hunters with personal liability coverage for damages arising from bodily injury or property damages. But the policy excludes coverage for claims “arising out of” premises owned by a policyholder that are not an insured location. That provi-

sion in the policy — and in particular the phrase “arising out of” — became the focus of their case. In addition to their Hamilton home, the Hunters also own a farm in Indiana that is not a named insured location under the Westfield policy. Rather, the Hunters purchased liability insurance from Grinnell Mutual Reinsurance Company to insure the farm. See Pfeifer, Page A8

these states would cease to exist if anything happened to this aquifer. For this reason Nebraska Democrats and Republicans alike are opposed to the location of this proposed pipeline. The Republicans inserted it into the bill as a “poison pill” under the theory that the President would have to either offend the people who live on the plains or offend labor. Initially, the President reiterated that he wanted a clean bill and even went so far as to threaten to veto a bill with add-ons. However, after negotiations with McConnell, the President reluctantly compromised by agreeing to allow the requirement for an early decision on the pipeline into the bill and agreeing that he would still sign it. He refused a number of “Tea Party” addons, such as mandatory drug testing of people who qualify for unemployment benefits. Then the question arose about how to “pay for” the continued payroll tax cut. Democrats proposed a 1.9

At the end of this year, the payroll tax cut, which reduced the payroll tax from 6.5 percent to 4.5 percent, is set to expire unless legislation is passed to extend it. For the average American family, the expiration of this payroll tax reduction would mean a tax increase of between $1,000 and $1,500 annually. Two months ago, President Obama offered a bill to extend the tax cut and the unemployextension ment benefit through 2012. The President said at the time that given the fact that the economy is fragile, it would be poor public policy to increase taxes on those who could least afford it. He asked for a “clean” bill, meaning an extension of the payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits without additional measures added on to it. The negotiators on the Republican side, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker John Boehner, immediately said that they would add on the requirement that the Obama administration render a final decision on an oil pipeline that an oil company wants badly. The proposed pipeline would cross the Ogallala aquifer in Nebraska. This aquifer provides irrigation for many prairie states across the Great Plains. Many farms in

Construction begins on Dimmitt Woods housing It was early 2008 when I first began exploring potential sites to build a senior housing facility in the Batavia area. Now, after nearly four years of planning, construction of Dimmitt Woods Senior Housing has begun. The official address will be 611 College Drive, which is on the left as you make the turn off of West Main Street onto College Drive. You can spot the location by the rock driveway that has been laid for construction vehicles to enter the site. This will become the main entrance when the project is completed. Dimmitt Woods will be the seventh senior housing facility built by Clermont Senior Services over the past 15 years. Winter weather will delay construction until early spring, although the contractor hopes to begin clearing brush and undergrowth from the site this winter. Construction will continue through 2012, and Dimmitt Woods will be ready for occupancy in early spring 2013. Applicants must be at least age 62 and meet the income guidelines of just under

There is no obligation in doing so, and those on the list will receive an application by mail when the formal application process begins. Eligible residents of the Village of Batavia and Batavia Township
will be given first priority for residency. The name Dimmitt Woods was selected to honor Ezekiel Dimmitt, the young man who arrived here in 1797 and became the first settler to build a log home on land that would become part of the Village of Batavia. According to historical records, Dimmitt’s homestead included the land upon which Dimmitt Woods Senior Housing will be located and it’s likely that his cabin sat close by the very spot where this 40 unit facility will be constructed. “Zeke” Dimmitt’s log home became a welcome resting place for early settlers arriving in Batavia, and he quickly became a prominent leader in the community. Dimmitt’s accomplishments included construction of the first courthouse in Batavia, and in 1817 he recruited several of his fellow Methodists to help construct the first stone meeting house, which served as a house of worship and a community meeting hall for the next 60 years.

The next era of the USPS This holiday season, Ohioans will receive scores of gifts — from Great Lakes beer to Cincinnati chili — but many of the parcels probably won’t be dropped off by their local postal carrier. The United States Postal Service (USPS) — the second-largest employer in the United States and one authorized by the U.S. Constitution — is governed by rules that limit its financial viability. To address a growing deficit, more than 120 post offices and 10 mail processing centers in Ohio have been slated for possible closure because of financial challenges. These closures could prove costly for middle-class families in our state, resulting in job losses and deteriorated service. That is why I fought for a moratorium on all postal facility closures until May 2012. With this additional time, Congress can modernize the rules and usher in the next

“P
r i v a t e delivery companies perform an important service. But the Post Office should be able to compete for all the parcel business, too.” I’m fighting to pass the Postal Service Protection Act, legislation that would help bring the USPS back to fiscal solvency. First, it would deal with the USPS’s fiscal challenges. This bill would address a broken pension system which currently costs the USPS more than $5 billion every year. Right now, the Postal Service must pre-fund 75 years of future retiree health care benefits in
just 10 years. With this legislation, we can address immediate fiscal problems facing the USPS by overhauling the USPS retiree benefit requirements. Second, it would allow the Post Office to innovate. By easing current financial constraints on the agency, the USPS would have additional avenues to earn income — like shipping beer or issuing a state fishing license – that can put the Postal Service back on the road to fiscal health. The legislation would also protect a six-day delivery — preserving Saturday delivery and maintaining current standards for first-class mail delivery. This is vitally important for seniors and patients who depend on timely delivery of life-saving prescription medications. With any postal reform legislation Congress considers, we must take into account what affect these decisions will have on America’s recovering economy. What would inaction mean for Ohio families? Postal workers — many of them veterans, women, and rural residents — do more than deliver holiday cards and news from home. They also watch out for elderly neighbors, and help build a sense of community. Since 1775, the USPS has kept Americans

Officials to discuss criticism of sewers
County may charge $30 fee for jail stays
Batavia’s old Armory soon to be auctioned
A meeting to thrash out the dispute over Clermont County’s sewers has been set for next Tuesday. Clermont County Commissioners called for the meeting after critics charged the county’s sewers – present and planned – are inadequate. The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Planning Authority first made the criticism in a “Regional Sewerage Plan.” Others include representatives of the engineering firms of McGill & Smith, Angelo Santoro, and Bareau Construction Co. Donald Watkins, the county’s sanitary engineer, and Harry Reed, former executive director of the Clermont County Planning Commission, also have been asked to the session, along with members of the press. OKI said both the $5 million Amelia-Batavia Township sewer and the $6 million Miami-GoshenStonelick system will be undersized when completed. A. H. Hessling, executive director of OKI and Daryoush (Dory) Montazemi, OKI project manager for the sewerage plan, are among those invited to the meeting next Tuesday.
The start of the new year could mean the start of a policy which would have Clermont County municipalities helping to foot the bills for jail stays. The Clermont County Board of Commissioners last week proposed charging $30 a day for housing inmates at the county jail. Commissioners later postponed a decision until the first part of this year. Under the proposal, those sentenced to jail through mayor’s court would carry with them a $30 a day price tag for the municipality which sentenced them to jail. If, however, the sentence was given through county court, the county would pick up the tab.
The Batavia National Guard Armory has stood on North Second Street since its dedication in 1912, serving the community in civil defense and even as a recreational facility. The armory has stood empty since the mid 1980s, and will go on the auction block January 10. In digging through the village archives, Batavia Village Clerk Beth Pulliam recently discovered the paperwork from the original ordinance to purchase the land for the armory. “It states that on July 3, 1911, an ordinance passed to sell bonds to purchase the land. It was to be donated to the state of Ohio for an armory,” Pulliam said. “The total purchase price was $1,600, and the land was bought from Fred Kline and Lena Bunn.” Pulliam said the armory was used by the Ohio National Guard until the state no longer needed the building. In 1983, the village bought the land and building from the state with a Community Development Block Grant of $50,000. “Civil Defense used the armory until the boiler went out and there wasn’t any heat,” Pulliam said. “After that, Clermont County used the building to train canine dog units. The lawyers in town also used it to play basketball, and the Salvation Army organized holiday distributions there.” In 1994, the village had the asbestos removed from the armory at a cost of $10,000. The armory is scheduled to be auctioned with a minimum bid of $12,000 required, Pulliam said.

Nearly $3,000 in merchandise and an undetermined amount of hard narcotics were taken from Nash Pharmacy, 235 Main St., Batavia, between 7 p.m. Sunday and 6:30 a.m. Monday, Chief N. C. Ward reported. Burglars forced the front door and took radios, electric razors, watches, 200 cartons of cigarettes and some cash, Ward said. They left by the rear entrance, he said, and also left behind their burglary tools. The pharmacy was broken into on Feb. 21 in the same manner, Ward said, but there is no evidence at this time to link the two break-ins, he added.
Loot recovered from three-county theft ring Officials with the Clermont County Sheriff’s Department last week joined with police from two other counties to recover almost $20,000 in stolen property. Deputies are also expecting to make five arrests this week in connection with the thefts of the items. A three-county theft ring is said to have stolen items from about 30 houses in Warren, Clinton and Clermont counties during the last several months. Deputies also found a number of stolen Christmas items, which they said had been re-wrapped in many cases and had new gift labels attached. Last week, deputies from the three counties move-in with search warrants to what was believed to be the ring’s storage house on Ohio 133. At that site, police found about $3,000 in stolen items. A second search at another location netted police an additional $20,000 in stolen property. Clermont County Sheriff John Van Camp said he expected the stolen goods recovered to total about $30,000 before the investigation is completed.

Rural electric cooperatives are generally referred to as unregulated utilities because the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) does not govern them. Also, with a few exceptions, the state statutes and rules governing utilities do not apply to these companies. Nevertheless, consumers who receive electric services from these companies do have rights, which are outlined in this article. Q: What is a rural electric cooperative? A: A rural electric cooperative is an electric service company owned by the household members who receive its electric services. These cooperatives, which are governed by a member-elected board, were formed to establish elec-
Law You Can use OHIO STATE BAR tric service in rural areas not served by other utility companies. Co-ops are generally smaller organizations than investor-owned utilities and have smaller service areas. Currently 25 different cooperatives provide electric service in 77 of Ohio’ s 88 counties. Q: How do I join a rural electric cooperative? A: If you live in an area served by an electric cooperative, you must fill out an application and pay a small membership fee, usually $5 or $10,
to join the cooperative and get service. If you are a tenant, then you will probably be asked to pay a security deposit. If you are a tenant, you may also need a letter from your landlord or a copy of your lease agreement that shows you have the right to live on the property you are renting. Q: Who sets my utility rates and other policies? A: The cooperative’s governing board sets the rates you are charged for electric service, as well as other policies, such as qualifications for membership and when and how electric services can be terminated. When you join a cooperative, you should receive a booklet explaining your member rights and responsibilities. You will
receive information about annual meetings and have the right to vote for members of the governing board. You will also receive a monthly magazine with information about your cooperative. With respect to the practical aspects of receiving electric service, however, a cooperative is not different from an investorowned utility. Q: Do rural electric cooperatives have payment plans? A: Most rural electric cooperatives allow you to voluntarily enroll in a payment plans. Unlike the Percentage of Income Payment (PIPP) plans available to investorowned utility customers, these plans are not based on your income or ability to pay. If you have fallen behind on your
bill, you must individually negotiate a repayment plan. Generally, the sooner you ask, the more willing your company is to work with you. You should contact the cooperative before your service is shut off to avoid the expenses of reconnection. If someone in your household has a health problem and has medical equipment that requires electricity to run or medicine that requires refrigeration and you are facing a shut off for nonpayment, contact your provider immediately and ask about keeping your service on with a certificate of medical necessity. Your doctor will have to fill out a form, and you will have to enter into a payment plan to continue service.
Q: Do rural electric cooperatives accept Ohio’s Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) vouchers? A: Yes. All rural electric cooperatives will accept the federally funded HEAP vouchers to help you pay your electric bill. Q: I gave my electric cooperative a HEAP voucher, but they still won’ t turn my service back on. Don’ t they have to honor the voucher? A: While all companies will accept vouchers to pay, or help pay, your electric bill, the amount of the voucher may not be enough to cover what you owe. Because electric cooperatives are not subject to PUCO rules or orders, they do See Law, Page A8

Continued from page 4 percent surtax on income over $1 million. The Republicans absolutely refused to consider that millionaires and billionaires take even this small step towards beginning to pay their fair share. Instead, they wanted to cut programs that they don’t like. A compromise was proposed whereby a twomonth extension was agreed to in order to allow for more time for the two sides to work on an extension for the whole year. McConnell agreed, and was videotaped giving a “high-five” to another Republican Senator as he left the conference room. Speaker of the House John Boehner said on television last Saturday (Dec. 17) that he thought it was a good bill. Then the corporate funded “Tea Party” extremists in the House rebelled against the tax cut. Boehner knew from previous experience that Congressman Eric Cantor (who is the majority leader and covets Boehner’s job) would take the “Tea Party” side of the issue, and if Boehner didn’t take the “Tea Party” side, Cantor would try to use the issue as an excuse to wrest the Speaker’s job from
Boehner. Therefore, Boehner had to do a u-turn as a matter of survival as Speaker of the House. Boehner’s situation was further complicated by the fact that between 60 and 70 Republican representatives would vote for the Senate bill (which passed the Senate with 89 votes, 39 Republican Senators voting for it). Boehner’s solution was not to allow a vote on the bill that passed the Senate and to force a vote this afternoon (Dec. 20) on a “Tea Party” bill that has no chance of passage in the Senate. The bill passed the House with 226 votes. Boehner then held a press conference in which he said he wanted to re-negotiate what he and McConnell had agreed to with Majority Leader Reid. For once in his life, Reid showed some backbone and told Boehner that he would be happy to negotiate a one year deal after the House passed the Senate bill. The President entered the fray this afternoon (Dec. 20) stating that the Republicans should quit playing games and vote on the Senate bill. We live in interesting times. While meeting among themselves, the House Republicans compared them-
selves to characters in the movie “Braveheart.” It is said that when they were meeting among themselves a few months ago (when they were trying to cause the United States to default), they were comparing themselves to characters in the movie “The Town.” What they actually resemble are the characters in any of the “Monty Python” movies of the 1970’s and 1980’s. They need to spend less time watching movies and spend some time finding out what is happening in the real world. Postscript: After the Wall Street Journal, 9 Republican Senators (including Senator McCain) and the President admonished the “Tea Party” Republicans in the House to grow up and do their jobs, the “Tea Party” members have backed down. They just might, maybe, have learned something, but probably not. We’ll see if they have when the two-month extension runs out. Paul Schwietering is a former Democratic state central committeeman. He lives in Union Township.
Brown: A new era for the USPS connected with one another and the rest of the world. Our state ranks eighth in the nation for the number of USPS employees — including letter carriers and sorters — who help Ohioans cash checks, obtain passports, and operate small businesses. We must help the USPS, a selfsupporting government entity, adapt to the challenges of the 21st century. A robust Post Office means
that small businesses and non-profits have reliable and affordable means to conduct their business. It means that the shopping centers and small businesses in urban areas — which, in many cases, are anchored by the presence of a post office — can continue to thrive. It also ensures that seniors can receive their mail-order prescriptions and Social Security checks without delay. The motto of the Post Office: “neither snow, nor
rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night” dates back to antiquity. The Greek letter carriers likely faced unleashed dogs — though not email. Yet I’m confident that we can and must overcome the challenges faced by the USPS. This is our promise to our neighborhood postal worker, our neighbors, and our communities.

Pfeifer: Exclusions to homeowners policy Park district to hold
B R O A D S H E E T
On July 7, 2001, the Hunters’ minor grandchild, Terrell Whicker, and another minor relative, Ashley Arvin, were riding all-terrain vehicles (“ATV”) on the farm. Terrell was injured in an accident that he alleged was caused when Ashley drove her ATV toward Terrell, failed to turn away in time, and ran over Terrell on his ATV. Terrell alleged that he suffered fractures to his femurs, ankle, and skull, as well as other injuries, as a result of the accident. Terrell and his parents brought suit against Ashley, her mother and stepfather (who were at the farm during the incident), and the Hunters. The complaint against Ashley’s parents pleaded a case of negligent entrustment. The complaint also alleged that the Hunters knew of Ashley’s “reckless and/or negligent tendencies” and “had the ability and duty to exercise control” over her, but breached that duty, and that as a result of the Hunters’ negligence, Terrell sustained injuries. In response, Westfield filed an action against Grinnell, the Hunters, and the Whickers, seeking a declaration that

Westfield had no duty to defend or indemnify the Hunters for the claims asserted in Terrell’s lawsuit. Grinnell answered and asserted that both insurers were obligated to provide coverage, on a pro rata basis, to the Hunters. The trial court granted Westfield’s motion and denied Grinnell’s and the Whickers’. The court reasoned that the claims raised by the Whickers’ “arose out of” premises — the farm — that were not insured by Westfield, and therefore that Westfield had no obligation to defend or indemnify the Hunters for the Whickers’ claims. The court of appeals affirmed that ruling, concluding — as the trial court did — that there was no coverage for the Hunters under the Westfield policy for the Whickers’ claim because the Hunters’ farm was not an “insured location” under the Hunters’ homeowner’s policy. Therefore, that coverage was precluded by the “other premises” exclusion. When the case came before us, we had to answer this question: When we are construing the language of an insurance policy provision that excludes coverage for something, does an injury “arise out of” a premises only if some dangerous condition exists on the premises that caused the injury, or must the injury only originate in or have a connection with the premises? It’s a well-settled principle of insurance law that ambigu-
ous provisions in an insurance policy must be construed strictly against the insurer and liberally in favor of the insured. This is particularly true when we consider provisions that limit coverage. “An exclusion in an insurance policy will be interpreted as applying only to that which is clearly intended to be excluded.” So to what degree must a negligence claim be connected to the premises in order for the exclusion to be triggered? Several other courts have considered this question and have concluded that an exclusion in a homeowner’s policy for claims “arising out of” premises owned by the policyholder- other than the insured location- excludes coverage for premises-based liability claims, such as those that arise from the quality or condition of the premises. How does that apply to this case? The Whickers’ claims appear to be grounded on the theory that the Hunters failed to exercise control over Ashley’s use of an ATV on the property. Because the complaint makes no mention of the quality or condition of the land upon which the accident took place, it’s necessary that our inquiry must focus on the Hunters’ alleged negligence in permitting Ashley to operate the ATV in a negligent or reckless manner, which has no causal link to the quality or condition of the premises. As Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor wrote in the majority opinion, “The simple fact that Ashley’s misconduct
took place on land is a matter of the law of gravity, not the law of insurance.” If the Whickers’ complaint “is based on the theory that the Hunters failed to properly supervise Ashley while she was on the Hunters’ property and that that failure gave rise to Terrell’s injuries, then the exclusion does not bar coverage in this case. “But if the theory of negligent supervision is a subterfuge to avoid the ‘other premises’ exclusion because the Whickers’ claims are based on the Hunters’ ownership of the property, then the coverage is not available.” With the scant record that was before us, we couldn’t make that determination. We therefore concluded — by a four-to-three vote — to reverse the judgment of the court of appeals and send the case back to the trial court for further proceedings to ascertain the nature and factual basis for the Whickers’ claims against the Hunters. The trial court, Chief Justice O’Connor concluded, “should determine whether the Whickers’ theory of liability is that the Hunters breached a personal duty that the Hunters assumed for the care and control of Terrell and Ashley, in which case the exclusion would not apply, or whether the Whickers’ claims are based only on the fact that the Hunters owned the property where the injuries occurred, in which case the exclusion does apply.”
not have to accept voucher payment as sufficient to restore your service. Q: Who do I complain to if I have a problem with my unregulated utility? A: Each utility should have a grievance process you can use to dispute your bill or challenge a termination notice. If the process is not explained in your member booklet or printed on your bill or notice of termination, you
should contact the main office of the utility, explain that you disagree with the bill or termination and ask for a meeting or hearing. If the company does not have a dispute process, you should contact your local legal aid for help (1-866-LAWOHIO). You may also try calling the Ohio Attorney General’ s help center (1-800282-0515). While the PUCO has a complaint center, the PUCO does not deal with unregulated utilities and will
Enjoy the great outdoors with your family by attending the Clermont Park District’s Winter Night Hike on Thursday, Jan. 19. Join a park naturalist at 6:30 p.m. for a moonlight stroll along the trails of Shor Park, located at 4659 Tealtown Road in Union Township. “This will be a fun discovery walk for the entire family,” said Clermont Parks’ Chief Naturalist Keith Robinson. “We will look for wildlife that is active in the cold winter air and we will be hiking with only the moon as illumination!” Robinson said they will also play some recorded owl sounds, in hopes of spotting some native birds, including the Eastern screech, barn, barred, and great horned owls. “Not all owls hoot. In fact, many screech, whistle, bark, and even hiss,” said Robinson. “Owls are nocturnal hunters that prey on
rodents, small, or medium sized mammals. They also eat fish and other birds.” He said barn owls can eat up to 1,000 mice each year. Many farmers want barn owls in their fields because they control the rodent population. Owl eyes are enormous. “If humans had eyes to that proportion, they would be the size of softballs,” said Robinson. He said the Winter Night Hike will also feature some ways to identify owls. “The barn owl is sometimes called the ‘monkey-faced owl’ because it has a white, heart-shaped face that is monkey-like and their head is quite large compared to the rest of their body,” said Robinson. “The barn and the barred owls are the only two species of owls in Ohio that have brown eyes; the rest have yellow eyes.” For more information about the Clermont Park District’s Winter Night Hike, call (513) 876-9013.

Symptoms typically begin within 30 minutes and can last for more than 12 hours. Vomiting and diarrhea may also occur. The other reaction associated with xylitol in the canine body is actual destruction of liver tissue. How this happens remains unknown but the doses of xylitol required to produce this effect are much higher than the hypoglycemic doses described above. Signs take longer to show up (typically 8-12 hours) and surprisingly not all dogs that experience hepatic necrosis, will have experienced hypoglycemia first. A lucky dog experiences only temporary illness but alternatively, a complete and acute liver failure can result with death following. Internal hemorrhage and inability of blood to clot is commonly involved. The hypoglycemic dose of xylitol for dogs is considered to be approximately 0.1 grams per kilogram of body weight (about 0.45 gram per pound). A typical stick of gum contains 0.3 to 0.4 grams of xylitol, which
means that a 10 lb dog could be poisoned by as little as a stick and a half of gum. The dose to cause hepatic necrosis is 1 gram per kilogram of body weight, about ten times more than the above dose. In the example above, the 10 lb dog would have to find an unopened package of gum and eat it for liver destruction to occur. Ideally, the patient can be seen quickly (within 30 minutes) and can be made to vomit the gum or candy. Beyond this, a sugar IV drip is prudent for a good 24 hours. Liver enzyme and blood clotting tests are monitored for 2 to 3 days. Blood levels of potassium are ideally monitored as well. Elevated blood phosphorus levels often bode poorly. So far National Animal Poison Control has no reports of xylitol toxicity in cats. At this time, feline toxicity is unknown. The oral health benefits of xylitol do seem to hold true for dogs if appropriately low doses of xylitol are used. A product called Aquadent® has been marketed for canine oral care, specifically for dogs that do not tolerate other methods of dental home care. This product is mixed in drinking water to provide antibacterial benefits. It comes in a 500cc (half liter) bottle that contains a

Letters Continued from page 4 builder in Cincinnati, and in 1957 I was born the youngest of four sons. I grew up in South Milford where my father remodeled our house and I attended Milford public schools and college at the University of Cincinnati. In my spare time — which is seldom — I enjoy Reds baseball, hiking, and volunteering at area churches. My family and I are members of the United Methodist Church, and have attended a local Methodist congregation for many years where I taught Sunday school. I am also a member of the National Rifle Association. Over my career I have worked for General Electric, General Motors, and other companies and have spent 27 years in human resources and negotiations between family businesses, schools, and corporations. I am the candidate who knows how and what it takes to create jobs without leaving families behind. The jobless rate dropped to 7.6 percent from 8.4 percent in Clermont County in October, fueled by gains in transportation and health services. I believe we can do better to bring quality jobs to our district by encouraging manufacturing, energy, and information technology as well. Like many of you, I understand how difficult it can be to send students to college and afford to continue to save. My two children were blessed to attend excellent public schools; however, few of Ohio’s children actually have that opportunity from K-12th grades. Over the next months, higher education afford-ability and K-12 education in Ohio will be a major focus of my campaign. Many blatant attacks are being leveled at young families, such as Senate Bill 5 and its partisan support. As a candidate for State Representative, I will work across the aisle to guarantee the best result for our families, neighborhoods, and communities. I support bargaining rights, and will never apologize for my belief in middle-class families.
total of 2.5 grams of xylitol as well as in small packets. If one follows the dosing instructions on the bottle or packet, there should be no problems. Trouble could occur if there are animals of different sizes drinking from the same water bowl (one should dose for the smallest animal to use the bowl to be sure overdose is not possible). A dog finding the bottle and chewing it up, drinking a substantial quantity of the undiluted product could easily be poisoned depending on the dog’s size. Keep this phone number handy:(888) 426-4435 This is the number for the National Animal Poison Control Center, a 24-hour service whereby you can speak directly to a veterinary toxicology specialist. In addition to advice, you will receive a case number which your veterinarian can use for further consultation at no additional charge. Consultations are approximately $60, but if your pet has a HomeAgain microchip and is enrolled in the full service registration program, poison control consultations are free. Simply provide your pet’s microchip number to the assistant on the phone. Any brand of microchip can be registered in the HomeAgain program for $14.99 by calling 1-888-HomeAgain.

Sugar substitutes are big business. Less sugar can mean weight loss, improved health, diabetic control, and even reduced tooth decay. The quest for products that can sweeten and cook like sugar is ongoing. Xylitol is common sugar substitute, especially when it comes to sugarless gum. Not only does xylitol offer sweetness without calories, it also has antibacterial properties in the mouth so as to reduce periodontal disease and has been found to have far reaching health benefits in other areas of the body. Xylitol may help with osteoporosis, prevention of ear and throat infections, and may reduce risk of endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and even breast cancer. Sounds wonderful and maybe it is – if you are a human. If you are a dog, xylitol is potentially lethal. In the canine body, the pancreas confuses xylitol with real sugar and releases insulin to store the “sugar.” The problem is that xylitol does not offer the extra Calories of sugar and the rush of insulin only serves to remove the real sugar from the circulation. Blood sugar levels plummet resulting in weakness, disorientation, tremors, and potentially seizures. It does not take many sticks of gum to poison a dog, especially a small dog (see below for toxic doses).

Veterinary Assisting student Whitney Rector of Milford with her mother.
Parents go to school at Live Oaks More than 200 parents and family members came to Live Oaks Career Campus Nov. 3 to learn more about what their sons and daughters do at the career-technical school. They spent time watching their teenagers work in the labs, and even had the chance to take part in hands-on activities. Sports Rehabilitation students did health assessments on parents, Veterinary Assisting students convinced parents to hold animals they usually don’t get a chance to handle, and Animal Science students had their parents bathing and grooming dogs, cleaning kennels and aquariums and feeding and watering animals. Health Technology parents continued the handson experience by learning how to take vital signs, reviewing medical terminology and participating in a bedmaking contest. In the Digital Arts and Design program, junior parents worked on an advertising campaign
design for a car after researching the vehicle, establishing a target audience and creating a tagline for the campaign, while the senior parents worked with their students to create a family crest or coat-of-arms using the Illustrator software. “I finally get to see what my son is doing in lab,” said Susan York, who was visiting her son David in the Computer Service Technician and Networking program. Linda Berger watched her son Kyle work in the Digital Arts and Design program. “I loved it last year, so I decided to come back again,” she said. “I’m impressed with how much my daughter has learned in her lab,” said Tammy Brannock of her daughter Jessica English in the Veterinary Assisting program. Bring Your Parent to Lab Day is an annual event at the Live Oaks Career Campus in Milford.
Distinguished Alumni for 2011 announced Graduates of Great Oaks programs can be found in almost every career field and at the top of their professions. Each year, the Great Oaks Education Foundation honors the top nominees among those who have excelled in their professional and personal lives. This year, three alumni were honored as Distinguished Alumni at a Dec. 14 dinner, sponsored by the Foundation. The honored alumni are: Kenneth “Doc” Kilgore. A police specialist for the Cincinnati Police Department, Kilgore is better known to listeners of local radio stations Warm 98 and MOJO as popular host Doc Kilgore. Kilgore Kilgore graduated from the Broadcast Arts program at Scarlet Oaks in 1979. After brief stints on several local radio stations, he spent 14 years as a broadcaster in Houston at KMJQ, KWWJ, and KSBJ and in Chicago at WBMX. While in Houston, he studied his other passion, law enforcement, at the University of Houston. In 1997 he returned to Cincinnati, joining the police force and continuing his work in radio. He is currently a Police Specialist for the Cincinnati Police Department. Kilgore also serves his community as a frequent volunteer and emcees and hosts the Inner City Tennis Projects annual fund-raiser. He was nominated by Great Oaks instructor Joanne Easley, who said “The quality and drive of who he is speaks loudly through his achievements.” Jerry Turner. A 1975 graduate of the Live Oaks Carpentry program, Turner has owned Turner’s Jet Construction and Family for more than two decades, building high-end homes and light commercial buildings across the region. He began his career in construction Turner while still a senior at Live Oaks, with
Frank Fisher Construction. As a successful construction company owner, Turner has hired dozens of other Great Oaks graduates. He serves on the advisory board of the Laurel Oaks Construction Framing and Finishing program, and helps judge local student competitions. His generosity extends to the community as well; his company has worked on four homes for Habitat for Humanity and he helped to build the Ruth Lyons House to raise money for charity. “Jerry continues to give back to his community, and his passion for construction and the future of Great Oaks students is obvious to all who know him,” said nominator Tom Bixler. Shawn Wilkin. In the early 1970s the first Great Oaks students attended Laurel Oaks, staying overnight during the week in converted barracks. S h a w n Wilkin was one of those students, and he became part of the original graduating class of 1973. Wilkin After completing the Masonry program, he spent the next 25 years working in the field before accepting the opportunity to return to Laurel Oaks and begin teaching. He earned his teaching certificate at Wright State University, and for the past 14 years has prepared hundreds of students to become successful masons. In fact, his program was featured in the national publication of the Masonry Contractors Association of America. He maintains strong relationships with industry leaders for the benefit of students, and he has led students in supporting the community by building structures at schools and in parks throughout Highland and Clinton counties. He has helped to raise thousands of dollars to send students to regional, state, and national competitions. The three nominees were honored by the Great Oaks Board of Directors and other friends of Great Oaks, and their biographies will be placed on the walls of each campus to inspire future students.

Local farming practices to be researched In a continuing effort to protect and restore waterways in Clermont County, the East Fork Collaborative is partnering with Miami University’s Institute for the Environment and Sustainability (IES) to research farming practices across the county. “Sustainable agriculture practices can reduce the runoff of nutrients and soil into a watershed, resulting in a positive impact in the quality of our water resources,” said John McManus with the East Fork Collaborative. Sustainable agriculture is a way of raising food that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the needs of future generations. “While we have many producers that use sustainable farming practices, we want to better understand how to help other producers embrace the method, without adversely impacting
their businesses,” said McManus. He said the partnership will explore barriers to sustainable agriculture through surveys and focus groups with area farmers. “Our goal is to gather feedback directly from producers about the challenges they face when implementing sustainable practices,” said Jacob Stone, a graduate student in Miami’s IES program. “With this research in hand, the East Fork Collaborative can design programs that work with the producers in a way that will, in the long run, help both producers and the environment.” “Every region has unique soil, weather, and political aspects that impact farming, so the best way for us to know what challenges the producers in Clermont County face is to ask them,” added Lori Hillman, United States Department of Agriculture
Natural Resources Conservation Services representative. The East Fork Watershed Collaborative was formed in 2001 as a way to bring together the diverse interests within the East Fork Watershed to protect and enhance the biological, chemical, and physical integrity of the East Fork of the Little Miami River and its tributaries. The Miami University Institute of the Environment and Sustainability program was created in 1969, in response to the need for a curriculum geared to train a modern environmental scientist equipped with the tools and philosophy needed to cope with new problems as they arise. More than 600 students have graduated from the program; for more information on the Miami U IES program, contact Tom Crist at ies@muohio.edu.

Gaskill leads Lady Trojans to rivalry win over Amelia
Fultz leads Glen Este over rival Amelia BY CHRIS CHANEY Sun staff

New Richmond’s Josie Buckingham scores two of her 15 points on Dec. 19 as Batavia’s Sam McElfresh tries to block her shot. McElfresh ended the game with 18 points.
Buckingham, Workman lead New Richmond to seventh-straight win BY CHRIS CHANEY Sun staff
New Richmond head coach Brad Hatfield talked to his team at halftime of their game on Monday, Dec. 19 about playing their best, something he didn’t think they were doing in the first half. The Lady Lions responded to their coach’s challenge with a 22point third quarter en route to a 23-point road win over Batavia, 55-32. “We talked a lot about playing like the team we are,” Hatfield said. “The second half we came out and were way more active on defense, our feet were moving a lot quicker and the 50/50 balls started going our way. That translated into things going our way on offense as well.” Both teams came out of the locker room a little sloppily to start the game. The Lady Bulldogs had some trouble getting into their offense as New Richmond’s guards pressured the ball as soon as they stepped over half court, creating turnovers. The Lady Lions struggled in converting those turnovers into points, in part because of the decisions they made after making the steals. “We were making some bad decisions with the basketball in transition,” Hatfield said after the game. “In the second half, we started to wear down
on Batavia a little bit and that’s when the transition opportunities opened up for us.” In the first quarter, New Richmond made a concerted effort to feed their go-to scorer, 6-foot-5 sophomore center, Josie Buckingham. Buckingham, who was seven inches taller than Batavia’s biggest girl, could turn and shoot over her smaller defenders for easy opportunities. However, with New Richmond’s guards making a fair amount of steals and pushing the ball up court, Buckingham didn’t get as many touches in transition as Coach Hatfield would have liked in the early going. Hatfield did get some early scoring from sophomore guard Bailey Workman who scored seven of the Lady Lions’ 11 first-quarter points on a pair of three-pointers and a foul shot. “She’s a player that has a tremendous upside to her,” Hatfield said of Workman. “I don’t know of too many players that are faster than her from Point A to Point B with the ball and she’s a tremendous finisher.” For Batavia’s side, freshman Samantha McElfresh is the key cog in the Lady Bulldog’s offense. McElfresh averages 13.4 points per game, nearly 10 more points
than her closest teammate. With her playing style – a slashing wingman – McElfresh was able to get into the heart of New Richmond’s zone and get to the foul line 10 times. “She likes to drive, so we tried to stay between her and the basket,” Hatfield said. “We tried to close out on the shot, but guard against the drive first. “In man-to-man we tried to put Sarah Shoemaker or Tina Lawrence, our best two defenders on a player of that type, matched up with her.” As New Richmond keyed in on McElfresh, the Bulldogs did their best to lock down Buckingham, often putting two defenders on her, making an entry pass difficult. Batavia also attacked Buckingham with the drive. Along with McElfresh, the rest of the Lady Bulldogs took the ball at Buckingham, forcing her to make a play on the ball and hoping for a foul call. Buckingham was forced to sit down with two fouls with 5:34 remaining in the second quarter. She wouldn’t return until after the half. Even with Buckingham on the bench, the Lady Lions increased their lead to 24-14 at halftime. With a pep talk from See NewRich, Page B12
The boys’ installment of the Amelia-Glen Este rivalry took place on Friday, Dec. 23 and it had all the intensity and noise you have come to expect from these two teams when they meet. The Trojans ham and egged their halves well between Austin Rieck’s 14 first-half points and Alex Fultz’s 22 second-half points en route to a 10-point win over the Barons, 67-57. “We’re not going to be able blow anybody out, but we’re going to try and squeak by,” Glen Este head coach Dave Caldwell said after the game. The Trojans did just that on Friday, forcing early Amelia turnovers and converting them into easy baskets in transition. Glen Este’s duo of Rieck and senior guard Alec Scardina were the main contributors to the fast start the Trojans enjoyed, tipping passes in their one-three-one zone and finishing layups on the other end. “We’re trying to be solid on defense and keep the ball in front,” Caldwell said. “They’re a little young and we’re long and athletic so we were getting some touches, and frankly, we got a lot more transition baskets than we usually do. “(Rieck and Scardina) are both really athletic guys and when they have a concept of what we’re doing on defense and getting in the passing lanes (they score)… they just need to put forth in the effort to play defense.”
Even with the momentum leaning in the home team’s favor, Amelia stuck with the Trojans on the strength of a strong start from sophomore Tommy Hacker. Hacker attacked the basket in the first half, getting to the foul line four times and making all four free throws and scoring eight points. At times, it was difficult to tell who exactly had the homecourt advantage. Amelia brought a boisterous amount of students and fans, giving the game the type of feel a rivalry game should have. “It’s very heated,” Caldwell said of the rivalry. “The gym was packed and absolutely rocking. It’s a great experience for the kids, I’m glad to see them get rowdy and get excited… there’s a lot of enthusiasm there.” After one point separated the teams after the first quarter, Glen Este was able to put some space between themselves and the Barons in the second quarter. A turning point came early in the period when the Trojans’ Calvin Holloway wrestled down an offensive rebound and kicked the ball out to Rieck for an open threepointer. Rieck connected from behind the arc and Amelia’s Hacker was called for a foul as he battled for position under the rim. Glen Este got the ball back as a result and scored again, making the offensive trip down the floor result in five points, giving the Trojans a 22-16 lead with 5:20 left in the half.

CNE’s quick start too much for ‘Burg BY CHRIS CHANEY Sun staff
“Believe.” That was the only word Clermont Northeastern head coach Jason Iles wrote on the white board before the Rockets’ game on Tuesday, Dec. 20 against conference rival Williamsburg. “I told them we had to believe and we’ve got to be ready to play,” Iles said. “That was the message I sent to the team and that’s what my kids came out and did.” The Rockets took advantage of a huge first quarter and shut-down defensive pressure en route to their first win of the season, 59-42. Iles stressed to his team in the practices leading up to the game the importance of getting off to a quick start and burying the Wildcats early. From the tip, the Rockets’ intensity was palpable. Williamsburg’s Michael Posey scored the first basket of the game on a nice post move, getting his defender in the air. From there, the Rockets scored 12 straight points, giving themselves a 10-point lead with 3:15 remaining in the first quarter. “We’ve been stressing defensive intensity all week and getting after it, being ready to play,” Iles said of the quick start. “Tonight, we came and we were ready to play basketball. That’s something we’ve lacked.” The fast start knocked Williamsburg on their heels as they struggled to score the ball. CNE had no such prob-
lem with each of their five starters finding their way into the scoring column within the first three minutes of the game. “We got a lot of people involved early through our defense,” Iles said, “We went back and adjusted some things… we got some open looks and we finished.” The Rockets were fueled by senior guard Alex Gilkerson’s two three-pointers in the opening minutes of the game, sparking the early CNE run. Jay Teaney added another dimension to the Rockets’ offense with his drives, which opened up teammates for good looks at the basket. The Rockets’ defensive pressure was evident all over the court, but it was the most prevalent with their play against Williamsburg’s Kendal Young. “Kendal Young is one of the best players in the conference and we knew that coming in,” Iles said. “I’ve got three tremendous defensive players and they really get after it. We wanted to face-guard him and make the other four guys beat us.” CNE did an exceptional job in the first quarter of limiting Young’s touches. Young was only able to get off one field goal attempt in the quarter, a contested fade away jumper off of an inbounds play, which he made. When the dust settled after the massive Rockets’ first quarter, the home team led 219. The Wildcats came out in the second quarter ready to

Glen Este and Amelia give a whole different meaning to cross-town rivals. The schools literally sit some 2.5 miles apart. And as we’ve seen with rivalry games around the area in the recent weeks, not a lot of love is lost when two teams that reside in a close proximity to one another share a basketball court. Wednesday, Dec. 21 was no different as a strong contingent of supporters from both schools filled Glen Este’s gym to see the Lady Trojans propel themselves to an 11-point win, 54-43, largely off a lopsided third quarter. From the tip, Amelia looked to have the edge offensively as the Lady Barons were able to penetrate into the Glen Este defense and get off shots from close-range. The Lady Trojans guard-oriented offense faced some opposition as the similarly sized Amelia squad was able to guard all five positions on the perimeter. “We weren’t able to take bigger girls off the dribble,” Glen Este coach Jeff Click said. “It was a little different (from mismatches we usually create), but I thought we handled it pretty well.” As a result of the Amelia defensive pressure, Glen Este settled for outside jump shots to start the game, but they weren’t falling. “We didn’t shoot the ball as well as we’re accustomed,” Click said. “We had some looks early on and when you have a young team, that starts to get in their head a little bit.” The Lady Trojans were able to jump out to an early lead thanks to a strong start from junior forward Katie Gaskill. Gaskill opened up the scoring for Glen Este with a threepointer from the top of the key and added two more points from the foul line. Amelia countered with a junior forward of their own, Cassidy Bailey. Bailey likewise showed her range, stepping out to hit a three and moving inside for a tough basket down low to keep the Lady Trojans within striking distance. After the first quarter, Glen Este led 9-7. Scoring picked up in the second quarter as the tempo of the game increased as well. With the game already close, the teams traded baskets and the lead several times throughout period with neither side facing a deficit greater than four points. Glen Este implemented a two-two-one three-quartercourt press in hopes of causing some Amelia turnovers. “We’re not the most athletic team, we’re just trying to make them have to work and maybe they do something careless,” Click said. “We don’t really want to gamble, we just don’t want to let them dribble the ball up the court nice and easy like they do in practice every day.” Even with a few missteps, the Lady Barons were able to get a couple easy buckets off of their press break, but it seemed Glen Este had an answer the next time down the floor. As the halftime buzzer sounded, the game already had four ties and five lead changes, but Amelia went into the locker room with a onepoint advantage, 22-21. Things were different for Glen Este at halftime as some former Lady Trojans came back and were honored at halftime. The team never left

chip away at the 12-point cushion CNE had built. Williamsburg point guard Jacob Herren led the charge with his penetration into the Rockets’ zone. Posey, who scored the first basket of the
game, got back on track with three-straight layups. The only problem for Williamsburg was that CNE was answering with scores of their own. Every time the Wildcats would whittle down
the Rockets’ lead, someone would be there for CNE to keep them in the clear. In the second quarter, it was Derick See CNE, Page B11

CNE: Rockets shut down Young for first win of season in the fourth quarter from the charity stripe. Throughout the game, the one constant was CNE’s denying of the ball from Young. The Rockets ran three guys at Young, a conference All-Star a year ago, forcing him to go two-for-seven from the floor, scoring just eight points. “(Jeff) Johnson, (Trey) Johnson and (Austin) Thompson really get after it, they push us every day in practice,” Iles said of his three-headed defensive monster. Things got a little chippy towards the end of the game with a couple of hard fouls exchanged between CNE’s Myers and Williamsburg’s Posey, but the damage had been done as the Rockets rolled to their first win of the season, 59-42. Herren led the way for Williamsburg with 11 points and Posey added 10.
Williamsburg dropped to 2-4 on the year. Clermont Northeastern had nine players score, including three in double figures (Teaney 10, Schmidt 13, Lucas Wolfe 10). The Rockets improved to 1-4 on the year and Coach Iles hopes that what he saw against Williamsburg will continue. “The kids believe and they know they can do it,” Iles said. “And that’s the difference.” Williamsburg (2-4) Workman 2 1 5, Herren 4 0 11, Forsee 0 1 1, Felts 0 1 1, West 1 1 3, Young 2 4 8, Posey 5 0 10, Reed 1 1 3. Totals: 15 9 42. Clermont Northeastern (1-4) - J. Johnson 1 0 2, Teaney 3 4 10, T. Johnson 1 1 3, Myers 3 2 8, Schmidt 5 3 13, Cornett 0 1 1, Gilkerson 2 2 8, Thompson 2 0 4, Wolfe 2 6 10. Totals: 19 19 59. Halftime: Clermont Northeastern 34-22. 3-pointers: W 3 (Herren 3); CN 2 (Gilkerson 2).

Schmidt. The 6-foot-4 junior played the garbage man, fighting for offensive rebounds and putting them back up for easy buckets. “The first four games have been very rough for him and tonight he came out and posted a double-double,” Iles said. Everything was going Clermont’s way. Holding for the last shot of the half, the Rockets got into their set a little late with time winding down, forcing the Rockets to toss up a three-pointer with two seconds remaining. The shot didn’t draw iron, but Schmidt was under the basket to rebound the errant shot and lay it in as time expired, keeping the CNE lead at 12, 34-22. In the third quarter, it was more of the same for CNE with the only difference being the player that stepped up to
lead the charge. Looking for someone to go inside and bang with the big bodies of Williamsburg, Iles turned to Zach Myers. “He’s been battling a knee injury and I ran him in there and he was ready to play. He’s a gamer,” Iles said. “He’s a 5’8” center; he gets in there and plays with the big boys. He did a great job for us. “ Aside from bringing some defense and effort on the boards, Myers scored four of the Rockets’ seven points in the quarter. Again, the CNE defense was stout, giving up just five points in the third as the Rockets took a 14-point lead into the fourth quarter, 41-27. Trailing by double-digits, Williamsburg tried to extend the game by fouling CNE and forcing them to make their free throws. The Rockets did a fair job of making the Wildcats pay, hitting 13 of 20
Williamsburg’s Kendal Young shoots a free throw on Dec. 20. Young scored eight points.
GlenEste: Fultz, Rieck combined for 47 of Trojans 67 Continued from page B1 The Trojans opened up their largest lead of the game to that point with a steal and layup by Rieck, giving Glen Este a 3120 lead with just over two minutes remaining. Amelia was able to cut the lead to eight at the break as sophomore Jack Mickler hit his second three pointer of the game with time winding down, leaving the Barons trailing 31-23 at the half. “Coach Mazzaro is a great coach and his kids always play hard,” Caldwell said of the Barons’ ability to keep the game close. “They made a lot of hustle plays. A lot of balls we couldn’t pick up, they ended up getting and getting layups or hitting a three.” While the Trojans were able to hold an eight-point lead in the first half, they did most of their work without the help of 6-foot-5 senior Alex Fultz, who sat most of the second quarter with foul trouble. “Ryan Caldwell, the assistant coach, did a good job subbing people in and out to work through Alex’s foul trouble,” Caldwell said. “Calvin Holloway and Tyler Flanigan did a pretty good job of filling a spot.” After settling down and toning back his aggressiveness inasmuch as he didn’t foul, Fultz kept Glen Este in front
in the third quarter almost single-handily, scoring 15 of Glen Este’s 17 points in the frame. “When he’s hitting his jumpers, he’s as good of a player as I’ve seen all year,” Caldwell. “He can also drive, we saw him get to the basket, I was really happy.” Amelia used their offensive balance to counter Fultz’s oneman show in the third. Six Barons accounted for the 17 third-quarter points Amelia scored, but when the buzzer sounded, Glen Este held the same eight-point lead, 48-40. Coach Mazzaro decided to double-team Fultz in the fourth quarter in an effort to make a comeback, but the big man was able to get back-toback layups on missed jump shots to open up a 12-point lead early in the period. The quarter progressed with Amelia trading field goals for Glen Este free throws, allowing the Trojans to keep the Barons at an arm’s length. Fultz converted a tough lay in as he was fouled, extending the Glen Este lead to 13 at 6148 with 2:39 remaining. From there, the Trojans’ active zone kept the Barons at bay. Amelia had a possession made up of missed jumpers and offensive rebounds that lasted 1:25, but came away empty-handed. With Amelia forced to foul, Glen Este put the game on ice
from the foul line, winning 6757. Fultz led the way with a game-high 30 points on 11for-16 shooting. Rieck added 17 points and Calvin Holloway was the unsung hero for the Trojans, scoring just three points, but grabbing 10 rebounds. “Calvin’s probably as tough of a kid as we’ve had here. He’s a great athlete, he knows his role and I thought he rebounded really well,” Caldwell said. Hacker’s 18 points and seven boards led Amelia, but he was the only Baron in double figures. Trevor Simon scored nine points and Ricky Moeves had seven. The Trojans improve to 3-5 on the season and Amelia fell to 1-6. Glen Este won’t take the floor again in 2011 with their next game on Jan. 3 against Milford, but Amelia is back in action on Thursday, Dec. 19 when they host Norwood.

If you were to just look at the Goshen boys basketball team roster you would probably think that the Warriors are very experienced bunch. But despite having a roster filled with just juniors and seniors, the Warriors returned very little in the way of experience this season. So little experience that the grand total of points scored from their lone returning player was one basket -- two points. Though they had gotten off to a strong start to the season at 3-1, the Warriors inexperience caught up with them as they battled Georgetown last Tuesday night. After going punch for punch with the host G-Men for three quarters, the Warriors (3-2) struggled with Georgetown’s full court pressure in the final stanza as the G-Men pulled away late for a 66-50 win. “We played well for the first 27 minutes of the game but...they just changed things on us and we didn’t handle it very well,” Warriors coach Scott Wake said. “Once it started going, it snowballed.” For much of the first three quarters on Tuesday night, the two teams had traded baskets and runs. And as the teams entered the final quarter, the G-Men held a 41-39 lead thanks to Jake Cropper’s layup right at the end of the third quarter off of teammate Jacob Miller’s steal. The final quarter began just as the three previous quarters had been played -- the teams continued to trade baskets. Goshen’s Austin Fischer tied the game at 41 with a short jumper as the quarter began. G-Men forward BruceDerrick Williams answered the bucket with one of his own. He converted off the glass in the paint. It was at that point that the G-Men unleashed their full court pressure. At first the Warriors were able to beat the press and got a couple good looks inside for easy baskets. Goshen forward Nick
Messer - who scored a team high 15 points and grabbed seven offensive rebounds scored on back-to-back possessions inside. “He’s been kind of up and down,” Wake said of Messer. “Some nights he comes out and plays well and other nights he hasn’t. We’ve just got to get him consistent.” But as the quarter wore on the press began to get to the Warriors. With 4:26 remaining, the press began to start paying dividends for the G-Men and they began to pull away. It was at that point Cropper stole the ball and went down for a layup and was fouled. He hit both free throws to put the G-Men up two and broke a 45all tie. Williams added to the lead when he converted a short hook in the lane to put the GMen up 49-45. While Fischer answered for the Warriors with a 10 foot runner off the glass to close the Warriors deficit back to two, 49-47, the G-Men answered by putting the game out of reach. Gage Bradley, who missed most of the first half with foul trouble, went to work for the G-Men. He scored off of a Williams miss to quickly push Georgetown’s lead to six, 5145. Two Quin Sandlin free throws and a fast break layup from Bradley increased their lead to eight before Bradley went to the foul stripe and hit two free throws to increase the G-Men lead to 10, 57-47, with 1:48 left. The G-Men burst was set up by their pressure defense as it knocked the Warriors back off their feet. The Warriors turned the ball over 10 times in the quarter. “They went in that 1-3-1 (press),” Wake said. “We had talked about it (and) worked on it. We just didn’t hold our composure and made a couple turnovers.” The G-Men then iced the game at the free throw line. Having only shot two free throws the first three quarters, the G-Men finished the night with 18 attempts at the foul stripe in the final quarter.
“We shot 16-20 from the free throw line and that’s huge,” Georgetown coach Jerry Underwood said. “We hit them down the stretch.” The Warriors started off the game pretty well. After they got down 9-3 early to the G-Men, the Warriors responded to take an 11-10 lead by the end of the first quarter. Messer did most of the Warriors damage. He scored six straight points over the last 2:51 of the quarter by getting inside position against his GMen defenders. Messer and Fischer were also able to take advantage of the G-Men playing a zone and hit the offensive boards hard. The duo combined for 12 offensive rebounds, with most coming in the first half.
“We rebounded the ball well,” Wake said. “Fischer has rebounded the ball for us well, Austin has. And Messer rebounded the ball well for us tonight. They controlled that.” But as well as the Warriors had played to the end the first quarter, they struggled nearly as much as the second quarter opened. By the time Cropper had hit the second of two straight 3pointers with 3:02 left in the first half, the Warriors found themselves down 29-16. With the G-Men on the verge of putting the game away early, the Warriors got their offense back on track. Goshen guard Ryan Ashcraft hit a 3-pointer of his own to answer Cropper’s to bring the Warriors back within 10, 29-19, before teammate
his team afterwards. “We’ve got to be able to learn from it. If we can learn something from it, and it comes back and helps us later on, then you got something out of it.” Fischer chipped in with 12 points for the Warriors while Ashcraft added 10. Kyle Wake scored nine points and Marc Taylor and Alex Edwards added two apiece. Goshen (3-2) – Fisher 5 2 12, Ashcraft 3 2 10, Taylor 1 0 2, Edwards 0 2 2, Messer 7 1 15, Wake 3 0 9. Totals: 19 7 50. Georgetown (4-2) – Bradley 7 4 18, Cropper 3 4 12, Stenger 1 0 3, Sandlin 2 2 7, Miller 3 5 11, Williams 7 1 15. Totals: 23 16 66. Halftime: Georgetown 29-28. 3-pointers: GS 5 (Wake 3, Ashcraft 2); GW 4 (Stenger, Cropper 2, Sandlin).

NewRich: Lady Lions defeat Batavia to stay unbeaten Continued from page B1
Continued from page B1 the floor, instead, they were given their pep talk on the bench by Coach Click and then cheered on their former teammates. “At halftime, it was different and we’re young, so we’re already learning to play through a lot of different situations,” Click said. “So, yeah, it was different, but they settled down and I was happy with how they responded in the second half.” The response Click referred to was an 18-7 third quarter. Gaskill took the reigns in the third, scoring eight points and playing point-forward, bringing the ball up the court and getting some of her teammates involved. “She does a little bit of everything,” Click said of his junior. “I think that makes us versatile and difficult to guard.” While the Lady Trojans struggled shooting the ball from the outside going just 4for-22 from behind the arc, Hannah Carson was able to knock down a pair of threes in the quarter to add to Gaskill’s charge. Megan Mentzel scored four of Amelia’s seven third quarter points, but the Lady Trojans had opened up a comfortable lead by the time the fourth quarter came around, leading 39-29. The fourth quarter was very reminiscent of the first two, with Amelia throwing points at the Lady Trojans, only to have Glen Este answer on their offensive trip down the floor. There was no give up in the Lady Barons, however, something Click had warned his team about prior to the game. “For a lot of our team, it’s the first time they’re playing major minutes and a major role in a rivalry game,” Click said. “We always know that [Amelia] is going to play their best against us, that’s what we told [our team], but until you
Kyle Wake caught fire. Over the last 1:59 of the half, Wake hit three straight 3pointers. The last, which went in right before the buzzer sounded for halftime, brought Goshen within one, 29-28, at the break. “When we got up and they made that run right before half and it kind of took the air out,” Underwood said. “But I thought our kids came back and responded really well with just holding their composure.” The third quarter saw the teams go back and forth nearly the entire eight minutes. Neither team could get up by more than four points the entire quarter but the Warriors never led. “I said this is only a bad game if we don’t get any better from it,” Wake said he told
Hatfield about playing up to their potential in the locker room, the Lady Lions came back out to blow open the game in the third quarter, this time with Buckingham as a part of it. “When we have a big run like (we did in the third quarter), Josie Buckingham usually plays a pretty big part in it,” Hatfield said. “When we get pressed she’s our finisher. She’s our number one option in the half-court offense because there’s no one that can really match up with her one-on-one or even two-onone.” The Lady Bulldogs were outscored in the third quarter 22-9 and trailed 46-23 as time ran out in the frame. Buckingham accounted for nine points in the third quarter and Mikaela Rupp added six points on two-for-two shooting from three-point land. The fourth quarter gave Coach Hatfield a chance to get some of his younger players
into the game and let them get some varsity experience. Through it all, McElfresh and the Lady Bulldogs kept playing hard, coming after New Richmond with fullcourt pressure. Unfortunately for Batavia, the New Richmond was too large to overcome as they fell to 2-7 with the loss. New Richmond, who sits atop the Southern Buckeye Conference American Division, improved to 7-0 following the win. Both teams finished their schedules for 2011 and will pick back up the first week of January.

go out and do it, talking about it and doing are two different things.” Click’s squad handled their first test against Amelia pretty well by all accounts. With the Lady Barons throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Glen Este, the Lady Trojans answered every bucket with one of their own en route to an 11-point win, 54-43. Gaskill led all scorers with 16 points, going 5-for-6 from the field and adding seven rebounds and three assists. Kenzie Hall played a solid game scoring 12 points and grabbing 10 boards.
“She played real well tonight,” Click said. “She’s a sophomore and only seven games into her varsity career so if she keeps rebounding and playing like tonight, we’ll be happy.” For the Lady Barons, Bailey led the way with 14 points and eight rebounds. Mentzel and Kymmy Simon added nine points each. Glen Este got back to .500 on the year at 4-4 with the win and Amelia fell to 3-4. Both teams were back in action on Wednesday, Dec. 28. Amelia will host Turpin at 6 p.m. and Glen Este will travel
to Aiken to face off with the Falcons at 7 p.m. Amelia currently sits right in the middle of the American Division of the Souther Buckeye Conference and Glen Este is in fifth in Fort Ancient Valley Conference East.
