Trains of Williamsburg Christmas Walk held Event brings community together during the holiday season Sun staff
The streets of Williamsburg were glowing Dec. 2 during the village’s annual Trains of Williamsburg Christmas Walk, which featured lights, entertainment and activities all evening long. Residents were able to listen to holiday music, shop for gifts and look at the intricate train displays at local businesses and organizations. The train displays are one of the unique features of the Christmas Walk, and many business owners in the village set up train displays in their windows for everyone to enjoy. “I built it two years ago but set it up this week,” Charles Ward, of Ward Financial said about his train display. “It’s like a puzzle.” American Legion Post 288 also had an elaborate train display this year, thanks to the Greater Cincinnati Garden Railway Society. The organization donated a model train to the legion to display for the Christmas Walk. “It’s neat to watch the kids,” Tom Cruse, of GCGRS said. “They get all excited and bigeyed about (the trains).” Cruse said the hobby of model railroading is a dying
one, and one of the reasons they bring the trains out to the Christmas Walk is to spark the interest of those who come out. “People today don’t really relate to trains,” he said. “But if you go all the way back it was your Post Office, your Fed Ex.” Cruse said people used to pick up mail at one stop, sort it, and deliver it as the train proceeded down the track. “I think the trains are a lot of fun for the kids and for adults, it makes us nostalgic,” Mike McKinney, a resident who helped bring the GCGRS to the American Legion, said. “It brings a little character to the village.” This year, Alli Stolz won a Lionel “Cascade Range Logging Train” in the annual train raffle. Sharon Wood donated the prize in memory of her late husband, Bob. In addition to the variety of train displays, residents also came together to enjoy other activities in the village. “It brings out the community spirit,” Olivet Murray, of Williamsburg Alumni, said. “The people who come to it love to come and the people who work it love to work. It’s a nice exchange between the community.” Murray worked the

Pearl Harbor attack remembered Ceremony honored survivors BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff
A Pearl Harbor remembrance ceremony was held in New Richmond Dec. 4, and Clermont County veterans, residents and officials attended the event held at the Boys and Girls Club. “It is such an important day to remember,” New Richmond Mayor Ramona Carr said. “We need to make sure our children remember this day, our grandchildren and their children.” Joe Whitt, a Pearl Harbor survivor, was recognized at the event and shared several stories with audience members about the attack on Pearl Harbor. “That was such a turning point in life,” Whitt said. “I’d
never seen a man die in my life. On this day I saw a lot of them dead and a lot of them dying.” More than 2,400 Americans were killed at Pearl Harbor after the Japanese launched a surprise attack on the United States in the early morning hours Dec. 7 1941. Whitt described the Japanese planes flying low over the ships. He recalled watching the events unfold aboard the USS San Francisco and described the panic of men trying to get out of the water, all of them covered in oil. “I didn’t run and hide,” Whitt said. “I am a country boy, I used to shoot quail.” Whitt said he remembered shooting at the planes and watching one of the Japanese pilots look out of the plane with a smirk on his face. Whitt served in the Navy for the remainder of World War II. He said today, he is See Observance, Page 4

Clermont County Commissioners approved the appointment of Stephen Rabolt as the full-time interim administrator beginning Jan. 1, 2012. “I am honored that commissioners chose me to be in that position,” Rabolt said. Rabolt is currently the director of the Office of Technology, Communications and Security for Clermont County. Rabolt is in charge of overseeing information technology, phone service, facilities management, records, the Department of Public Safety Services and the Emergency Management Agency in the county. He has more than 20 years of public service experience and has worked for the county since 1996.
Rabolt also said he has stepped in as both assistant administrator and administrator for the county. “It is sort of a continuation of what I am doing now,” Rabolt said about administrative duties. Rabolt said he was unofficially asked several weeks ago if he would be willing to take on the role of administrator. He agreed and was officially appointed Dec. 1. “My goal is to continue business,” he said. “I hope to provide a streamlined transition from the current to newcoming administrator.” Current Administrator Dave Spinney announced his plans to retire at commissioners’ Oct. 19 meeting. “It was time for me to move on and spend more time with family and pursing other interests,” Spinney said.

Ohio’s popular deer-gun season will run an additional weekend, Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 17-18, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Wildlife. The extra weekend days were added in 2006 in response to requests from hunters for more weekend time to hunt. Hunters can use a legal muzzleloader, handgun or shotgun from one half-hour before sunrise until sunset on Dec. 17-18. Ohio’s pre-hunting season population was estimated to be 750,000 white-tailed deer. The white-tailed deer is the most popular game animal in Ohio, frequently pursued by generations of hunters. Ohio ranks 8th nationally in annual hunting-related sales and 10th in the number of jobs associated with the hunting-related industry. Each year, hunting has an $859 million economic impact in Ohio through the sale of equipment, fuel, food, lodging and more. Ohio is divided into three
deer hunting zones. After Nov. 27, a limit of one deer may be taken in Zone A (12 counties) and two deer in Zone B (38 counties). Beginning Dec. 5, the bag limit is three deer in Zone C and antlerless deer permits are no longer valid. Anytime a hunter takes more than one deer, an additional permit must be purchased. Those hunting in urban units and at Division of Wildlife-authorized controlled hunts will have a six-deer bag limit, those deer will not count against the hunter’s zone bag limit. Antlerless deer permits may be used for the entire season in urban deer units or Division of Wildlife-authorized controlled hunts. Antlerless deer permits must have been purchased prior to Nov. 27 and are no longer available. Antlerless tags are not valid in Zones A and B after Nov. 27. Hunters may take only one antlered deer, regardless of zone, hunting method or season. A deer permit is required in addition to a valid Ohio

hunting license and hunter orange is required to be worn except for waterfowl hunters. Donations of extra deer will be accepted through the entire deer season which ends on Feb. 5, 2012. Hunters who give their deer to a food bank are not required to pay the processing cost as long as the deer are taken to a participating processor and funding for the effort lasts. Counties being served by this program can be found online at www.fhfh.org. Additional hunting regulations and maps of the state’s deer zones are listed in the 2011-2012 Ohio Hunting Regulations. This free publication is available wherever hunting licenses are sold, online at wildohio.com or by calling 1-800-WILDLIFE. Ohio hunters and birdwatchers are reminded that they should be aware of one another as they pursue deer and birds on this shared weekend. Hunters need to remember that there may be other people – both hunters and non-hunters – in the woods. Birders are also reminded that hunters are allowed to hunt wherever they have written permission. While hunters are required to wear hunter orange in the field, birders should consider wearing a hunter orange vest or hat during the deer-gun weekend. The 2011-2012 licenses will not be printed on weatherproof paper. Sportsmen and women should protect their licenses and permits from the elements by carrying them in a protective pouch or wallet.

Continued from page 1 one of the only Pearl Harbor survivors left in the Cincinnati area. “We are very fortunate to have veterans like Joe,” Sheriff Tim Rodenberg said during the ceremony. Sheriff Rodenberg, the guest speaker, highlighted some of the facts about the attack on Pearl Harbor and presented Whitt with a challenge coin to thank him for his service. Guests enjoyed music from several performers at the ceremony. Both John Hale and Stephanie Williford sang patriotic songs and Elise Bezold, a sixth grader from Monroe Elementary, played the violin. Several other officials spoke about Pearl Harbor as well, including Congresswoman Jean Schmidt and Commissioners Bob Proud and Ed Humphrey. “War is never easy,” Congresswoman Jean Schmidt said. “We must never forget the valor of the men and women before us or those who will go after us.” Commissioner declared

BY RICHARD SHONK, M.D. Each winter, the cold weather and holiday festivities can bring special challenges to the nearly 26 million Americans living with diabetes – and the 79 million with prediabetes who are at gravest risk of developing it. With the season fast approaching, experts caution people with diabetes and prediabetes to take extra care to avoid cold-related illnesses, stay physically active and maintain a proper diet during holiday gatherings and the long winter months. “The winter holidays bring family and friends together to celebrate but for some, this time of the year means a decrease in physical activity, tempting ‘no-no foods,’ and an increase in weight gain, all of which can make blood sugar more difficult to manage,” says Deneen Vojta, M.D., executive vice president and chief clinical officer of the Diabetes Prevention and Control Alliance (DPCA). “Fortunately, there are simple precautionary steps that people with diabetes and prediabetes can take this winter and holiday season.” Here are 10 simple ways Dr. Vojta and the DPCA say people can tell diabetes “NOT ME” this winter and enjoy the holiday season without risking their health. “NOT ME,” from the Diabetes Prevention and Control Alliance (DPCA), is an employer – and communitybased initiative aimed at tipping the scales against the
epidemic of type 2 diabetes, prediabetes and obesity. 1. Keep Yourself and Your Gear Warm: Dress appropriately for the cold weather, which means wearing layers and keeping your head and extremities covered. And be sure to keep your diabetes medications and supplies insulated and well-protected. 2. Avoid Winter Weight Gain: Watch your caloric intake, look for holiday treats that are lighter in sugar and carbohydrates, and make sure to keep exercising during the cold winter months. 3. Don’t Get Cold Feet: Keep your toes covered and warm in the cold weather. 4. Get Vaccinated: Studies have shown that people with diabetes are three-times as likely to die from influenza or pneumonia, and five-times more likely to be hospitalized due to flu complications. So be sure to get vaccinated at the very start of cold and flu season. 5. Wash Your Hands: Another good way to avoid getting colds or respiratory viruses over the holidays is to wash your hands regularly with hot water and soap and/or an antibacterial product. 6. Eat Thoughtfully and Be Merry, but Watch the Drink: Alcoholic beverages dilate
blood vessels and accelerate the loss of body heat. Alcohol can also mask the signs of low blood sugar, which can be dangerous for people with diabetes. So be mindful of alcohol intake, especially at office holiday parties and family gatherings. 7. Seek Counseling If You’re Feeling Blue: Several studies suggest a correlation between diabetes and depression, a disease which is also known to spike each year around holiday time. If you’re feeling low, sluggish, devoid of energy, or sad, do not be afraid to reach out for help. 8. Check In On the Elderly: Seniors are even more susceptible to succumbing to the effects of the cold due to a reduced ability to control body temperature and a decrease of subcutaneous fat. Check in on your elderly friends and neighbors this holiday season, especially those that live alone. 9. Stay Hydrated. Alternating exposure to outdoor cold weather with indoor heating systems is a recipe for dehydration, which can raise blood glucose levels and cause dry skin and eyes. Drink lots of water and liberally apply alcohol-free moisturizing lotion throughout the winter months. 10. Strive for a Stress-Free Season: Stress has been

shown to affect blood sugar levels, so find ways to make your holiday season a little less hectic whether that means managing your social calendar or making detailed shopping lists in advance. These tips can help people with diabetes and prediabetes stay healthy this winter; however, national data suggests that more than 27 percent of adults with type 2 diabetes and more than 90 percent of individuals with prediabetes may not even be aware of their condition. To learn the warning signs of prediabetes and assess one’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes visit the DPCA’s interactive self-identification quiz. Richard Shonk, M.D., Ph.D., is the UnitedHealthcare of Southwest Ohio Medical Director.

You don’t make a lot of demands. This year is the exception. Specifically, if there isn’t a certain little box beneath the tree, there could be trouble. You’re fully expecting it to be there, so it’d better be. It should be wrapped in shiny paper with a gold – no, a silver – bow. And what’s inside had better be just as glimmery as the outside and it better be very, very expensive. You’re a woman of few desires, and one of them is sparkly. For Veronica, Lady Smithson, her deepest Christmas wish is for a man but not a husband. In the new book “His Mistress by Christmas” by Victoria Alexander, Veronica may get more than she wanted. Scandalous. That’s what Portia, Lady Redwell, thought about her friend Veronica, Lady Smithson. True, it had been three years since Veronica’s husband died and that’s a long time to be in mourning, but the lustful look on Veronica’s face when she saw Portia’s cousin, Sir Sebastian HadleyAttwater, well, there was just one word for it: scandalous. It was doubly shocking, then, when Veronica whispered that she didn’t want to be married again. She merely

wanted to be Sebastian’s mistress. Sir Sebastian had been around the world, visited foreign countries, and had met heads of state and village chieftains. Daring and adventurous, ladies were quite drawn to him, though he was a firmly avowed bachelor which is why Sebastian surprised himself by falling headover-heels in love – instantly with lovely Lady Smithson. He also decided instantly that he would marry her. But when he proposed, just days after their first meeting, Lady Smithson turned him down flat. She wanted Sir Sebastian very much, but not as a wife. For most of her life, Veronica had been headstrong, decisive, and independent. She was used to her freedom and had no intention of being some man’s “chattel.” She could love Sebastian, but she could never marry him. She did, however, agree to spend Christmas at his new country home outside London and he agreed to her terms. A

holiday in the country – just the two of them – would be the perfect way to embark on their quiet affair… until love and two well-meaning families stepped in and messed up a perfectly good Yuletide plan. When it comes to bodiceripping historical love stories, “His Mistress by Christmas” is pretty typical. You’ve got your handsome rogue, your headstrong redhead, furtive kisses, an argument, misunderstanding, reconnection, and Happily Ever After. The difference is that this book adds a twist that might draw readers who don’t normally go for romances: author Victoria Alexander blends a bit of “Taming of the Shrew”
into this novel. There’s also a touch of romp, a feel of modernity (even though the story is set in Victorian times) and a surprisingly blistering bedroom scene, so beware before wrapping this as a gift. If you’re the romance lover, though, “His Mistress by Christmas” promises to put the jingle back in your bell. For you, this is a book to demand. The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri has been reading since she was 3years-old and she never goes anywhere without a book. She lives on a hill in Wisconsin with two dogs and 12,000 books.
Charitable giving helps everyone To participate in the spirit of the holiday season, you may be thinking of making some charitable gifts. If so, you’ll no doubt enjoy helping a group that does valuable work. But to begin with, it’s important to understand just how necessary your gifts are to the country’s social fabric. Given the effects of the Great Recession and the slow recovery, it’s not surprising to learn that charitable giving fell a combined 13 percent in 2008 and 2009, after adjusting for inflation, according to The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University. And although 2010 giving increased by 2.1 percent, again adjusted for inflation, many groups are seeing tough times as 2011 comes to a close. So your gift counts. And it can count for you, too. By contributing to a qualified tax-exempt organization [e.g., a charitable group that has received 501(c)(3) status from the IRS], you may earn valuable tax deductions. This is true whether you give cash or another type of asset, such as stocks or real estate. And you may be able to get further tax benefits if the noncash asset you’ve donated has appreciated in value since you purchased it. Making charitable gifts now may help you reduce your taxable estate. As you may know, the estate tax exemption level has fluctuated in recent years, so it’s hard for any of us to say for sure that we won’t be subjecting our estates to these taxes. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t take steps now to plan for possible future estate taxes. Visit

One such step might involve establishing a charitable remainder trust. Under this arrangement, you’d place some assets, such as stocks or real estate, in a trust, which could then use the assets to pay you an income stream over a certain period of time. When you establish the trust, you may be able to receive tax benefits based on the amount the charity is likely to ultimately receive, the charitable group’s so-called “remainder interest.” Upon its termination, the trust would relinquish the remaining assets to the charitable organization you’ve named. Keep in mind, though, that this type of trust can be complex; to establish one, you’ll need to work with your qualified tax advisor and estate-planning attorney. Another popular contribution vehicle is the “donoradvised fund.” Here’s how it works: You give cash or appreciated securities to the donor-advised fund, with the expectation of receiving a tax deduction for the contribution in that same year. You recommend which charities are to benefit from the contributions to the fund, and the fund invests and manages your contribution, along with the other assets in the fund. Again, you’ll need to consult with your qualified tax advisor before establishing a donor-advised fund to help ensure you obtain any expected tax benefits. As we’ve seen, you can follow different charitable giving strategies. But however you choose to make charitable gifts, you can take satisfaction in helping worthy organizations while possibly improving your own tax picture.

Luke 2: The Birth of Jesus
AND it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. 2 (And this taxing was first made when Cy-re ni-us was governor of Syria.) 3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid.
