Bethel approves street levy renewal for November ballot Council members decide to include street levy instead of park levy BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff
Bethel council members changed their minds about including a park levy on the November 2011 ballot, and
instead approved a resolution at their June 13 meeting declaring it necessary to renew the village street levy. “We need to rethink the park levy,” said council-
woman Donna Gunn at the meeting. “It’s a nice levy to have, but I think the street levy is smarter to have on the ballot.” The street levy would collect money to be used toward general construction, reconstruction, resurfacing and repair of streets, roads and bridges in the municipal
corporation. Once Gunn found out the street levy was due to be renewed in the fall, she said she hesitated putting both the street levy and the park levy on the ballot. Council members had discussed a park levy at previous meetings that would be used for the maintenance of
Burke Park and the Grant Memorial Community Building, but agreed during the June 13 meeting that the street levy would be more important for the village. Gun estimated the levy would bring in over $69,000 to be used for street repairs if it is renewed. “Honestly, when you

The Underground Railroad was a journey that impacted many. And today, the impact of this pathway to freedom lives on, even in Clermont County. Clermont County is rich with Underground Railroad sites, as many slaves traveled from the southern states through Ohio to gain freedom in the North. The sites, which aren’t extraordinary to the human eye, are steeped in history, and they are what brought the National Underground Railroad Conference to the county June 14-18. Guests from across the country attended the conference, which featured a multitude of speakers, educational sessions, tours, receptions and more. “I didn’t know about the abolitionist work or the sites,” Olivia Cousins, PhD and owner of a historical site in Oberlin, Ohio said about Clermont County. “I am amazed at the breadth of the work of the abolitionist move-
drive up and down the street you see pot holes,” said councilwoman Janice Ireton. “This is something that benefits every resident, not just a few.” Council members waived the three reading rule and approved the 2 mill renewal street levy for the November 8, 2011 election.

ment in Ohio.” Cousins said the conference not only provided her with information about how to improve her site and tourism
in the area, but also connected her to many people who shared a passion for preserving the Underground Railroad. “You can have a wonderful
story,” Cousins said. “But it is just a story if it’s not shared.” Sites like Ulysses S. Grant’s birthplace in Point Pleasant and the Cranston Memorial
Presbyterian Church in New Richmond, both in Clermont County, have been preserved See Conference, Page 3
Students from 15 school districts in six Ohio counties took part in a unique competition June 15. The competition involved robots, and it was part of a multi-day camp focusing on computer programming. “It helps the kids get a sense of real team building,” Amar Naga, director of operations at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Seven Hills Park, said about the camp. “I think these kids are very bright, all they need is a little guidance.” Naga said he is passionate about the camp and passionate about his field. Technology, he said, is a field which many students aren’t able to explore or receive training in. He said it has been difficult to find suitable employees to fill the many open positions at his company. See Robots, Page 3

Wall on Route 125 defaced again BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff
Just over a month ago volunteers from Bethel Baptist Church and BAM Fest, purchased paint, sketched a plan and painted an American flag on the frequently defaced wall off state Route 125. The brightly colored wall made it through BAM Fest, but has been defaced again and again in the past month, despite the fact that it resem-
bles a national symbol. “After they painted the flag, when I drove by it I had a memory flash back,” Bethel councilman Rus Whitley, who served in Vietnam said about the wall. “I had to pull over because my eyes teared up. When I saw how it was defaced I thought ‘We’ve got to do something about this.’” Whitley said the flag was defaced June 10 and 11, and not only with graffiti, but also inappropriate pictures and
words. Since then, Whitley has been helping to collect donations from local residents. The donations will not go toward paint, but rather be used as a reward to help them catch the culprits. Whitley said they’ve already collected almost $1,000 to put up as a reward, and they also have several suspects. “It’s been a senior tradition to paint on that wall,” Whitley said. “We thought if we put a flag up there they’d have a little hesitance, evidently there are a few that don’t care. What they put on there was vulgar.”

Whitley said once the vandals are confirmed he intends for them to become an example. They will face punishment and will also be responsible for coming up with the money to pay for damages. Whitley also said he’d like to see them stand by the wall holding a sign that says they are the vandals. “It’s going to end defacing the flag one way or another,” Whitley said. “Even if we have to make an example each time.” The painting of the wall has been going back and forth for quite a while.

Conference: Clermont history Continued from page 1 as historical locations that are visited each year. Local historical societies as well as the Clermont County Convention and Visitors Bureau have helped preserve the county’s sites and share the stories that go along with them. Guests at the conference were able to visit the sites on a tour June 15. “I am very impressed,” Kathy Mackel, director of tourism for Carolina County, Md. said during the June 15 tour. “This is a lovely place for heritage tours. I have never been here and it’s great to begin this conference with a bus tour.” The tour took guests along the Ohio River and through Clermont County June 15. In addition to Point Pleasant and New Richmond, guests took a ferry ride across the Ohio River from Higginsport to Augusta, Ky. and also visited Ripley, Ohio. They even made a stop at the Cardboard Boat Museum in New Richmond for some local flair. For one guest, the sites on
the tour recalled old memories, because his interest in the Underground Railroad began at the exact same sites years ago. “I was exposed after taking a day trip from Cincinnati to Ripley,” Ronnie Harris, of Chicago, said about the sites in Clermont County. “I came across markers and was very interested.” Harris investigated the sites and said he was immediately impacted by the discovery. After he arrived home he organized a group of people to return to the area so they could experience it as well. “The Freedom Center was a taste tester,” Harris said. “To walk them along the shores of the river banks brought some of them to shakes, to sit in the church floored some of them. It was most impactful.” Harris wishes those same experiences for other people, which is what brought him to the conference and back to the place that started it all for him. “I think it is a calling out,” Harris said. “I don’t think you could experience this rich history in Clermont County and
not be called to respond.” Harris said the conference was life changing. He was able to re-connect with folks he met in the county years ago, learn more about how to educate others and got to connect with historians and many other people who shared a common goal and bond. This is what organizers, like Dallas Howard, chief technology officer of the Clermont County Convention and Visitors Bureau, wanted to see. “Building those relationship and community channels is really what this is about,” Howard said. He said the conference went smoothly, and he received an abundance of positive feedback about how well everything was organized and about how well the county has preserved its historical sites. “It’s an excellent opportunity,” Howard said about hosting the conference. “It validates the work our historians and researchers have done. What people are impressed with is the energy and work these people have put in.”

Continued from page 1 people are living in the village,” Whitley said. The painting before BAM Fest was the first time the American flag was featured on the wall. Stewart Clark, pastor at Bethel Baptist who was responsible for the first flag, said his reasoning behind it was to deter graffiti and paint something that everyone could be proud of. “We got so many compliments on it,” Clarke said after it was painted the first time.
“Nobody wants to look at graffiti. I think for us it’s a matter of stopping the graffiti that makes the whole town look bad.” Whitley said volunteers will paint the flag on the wall for the second time June 21, as long as the weather holds out.
His suggestion once it is painted, is for people to think before they paint. “Especially the American flag,” Whitley said. “That flag is patriotic. It represents our country and our freedom. A lot of people have died fighting for that flag.”

ed the third camp, and Nada said the camps have been getting bigger and better each year. “I love the competition,” Connor Kabbes, a recent graduate of Milford High School, said about the camp. “Last year I came in second, I could tell the program is getting better each year. It really makes you focus on talents of basic programming.” The competition is held on the last day of camp, and teams of students battled their programmable robots on a course that featured several obstacles. The winning team included Tomas Ortiz, of Covington Latin School, Wes Meyer of Wyoming High School, Ryan Palmer of Hillsboro High School,

Wall: Graffiti artists strike again
Robots: Students compete Continued from page 1 “We started recruiting in 2008,” Naga said. “The problem was I did not see many students for the recruitment. TCS alone cannot solve this problem.” TCS is a global leader in integrated technology services with an office located right in Milford. The company provides a variety of computerrelated services to business owners including software, management services and more. Employees at TCS must not only be experienced in computer programming, but also be creative when it comes to problem solving and trouble-shooting technology. So when Naga couldn’t find students to recruit on his own, he turned to local school districts and began talking to administrators and teachers. He urged administrators to make computer programming classes available, and created a three-day camp to help give students a glimpse of the field. “We needed to create more awareness of science and technology,” Naga said. “We approached students to clearly show them why it is important.” The three-day camp, which began June 13 focused on Naga’s goal. Students were able to work together on technological projects, which included programming the robots that they would later use in competition. The day camp was free and TCS provided meals and materials. “It’s really cool how you get to interact with robots and learn about robots as you are programming,” Sarah Bee, a student from Walnut Hills High School, said about the camp. “It really opened my eyes to the need for jobs in technology.” Dozens of students attend-

bonds. If you purchase a bond that pays, say, a 4 percent interest rate, and the market rate goes up to 5 percent, then the value of your bond will drop because no one will be willing to pay you the full price for it when newer, higher-yielding bonds are available. • Your response — You can combat, or even ignore, interest rate risk by holding your bonds until they mature. By doing so, you’ll get your full principal back, provided the issuer doesn’t default, and you’ll continue to receive regular interest payments unless the bonds are “called,” or repurchased by the issuer. (You can help protect against this by purchasing bonds that have some degree of “call protection” and by owning bonds with different maturities.) • Losing purchasing power — This risk largely applies to fixed-rate investments such as certificates of deposit (CDs). To illustrate: If you purchase a CD that pays 2 percent, and the inflation rate is 3 percent, you are actually losing purchasing power. • Your response — Despite their vulnerability to inflation, CDs can offer you some valuable benefits, such as preservation of principal. Yet if you are concerned about fighting inflation, you may want to

look for investments than have the potential to offer rising income, such as dividend-paying stocks. In fact, you can find stocks that have increased their dividends for many consecutive years. (Be aware, though, that companies can reduce or eliminate dividends at any time. Also, an investment in stocks fluctuates, and you could lose your principal.) Apart from these individual techniques to reduce investment-related risk, you should also save early and save often — because the more money you accumulate, the greater your ability to follow a longterm strategy that reflects your personal risk tolerance. That’s why it’s a good idea to contribute as much as possible over the years to your IRA and 401(k) or other employersponsored retirement plan. By understanding the different types of investment risk, and by acting to help lessen them, you can reduce much of the stress sometimes associated with investing — while you increase your prospects for achieving your objectives.
Circus. Janeen Coyle will be MC'ing the event from WGRR. Food, cold drinks and coffee will be available Entrants can register on-line at www.NatalieFossierMemorial.c om or at 8 a.m. on the day of the event (look for the large tent). The 5K Run and Walk will start at 9 a.m. The silent auction will run from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and the event will end at 12:30 p.m. Register early to participate in the run/walk: a free T-shirt will be included with the first 225 registrations received by June 27. The cost for adults ages 13 and older is $25, and $15 for children ages 5-12. A schedule of events and on-line registration details can be found at www.NatalieFossierMemorial .org. Natalie’s Fly Thru the Park is held in honor of Natalie Fossier, who was killed by a falling tree limb on February 13, 2007 while playing outside with her dog. Natalie was just nine years old. In Natalie’s honor, the extended family organized a 5K Run/Walk and Silent Auction and called it the Natalie Fossier “Fly Thru the Park.” Over the past three years, more than $70,000 has been raised. Melisa Fossier shared that, “We have given out ten scholarships to Milford High School students so far. We have fed the homeless, made several donations to food pantries and homeless shelters, donated to nursing homes, bought school supplies for several different schools, donated money to libraries, boy scouts, girl scouts, orphanages, McCormick PTO, church ministries to help children with school supplies and books, the fire department that responded to our call, and the Clermont County Humane Society among others. I know this is what Natalie would want us to do.

When you invest, you take some risks. While you can’t totally avoid these risks, you can take steps to help reduce their impact and increase your comfort level. And the more comfortable you are with your investments, the easier it will be to follow a long-term strategy that can help you meet your goals. Let’s look at the most common types of risk related to investing, along with some suggestions on helping to reduce these risks: • Losing principal — This type of risk is most closely associated with investing. For example, when you purchase a stock, you know that its value could go up or down. If it drops below your purchase price, and you then sell your shares, you will lose some of your principal. • Your response — You can’t eliminate the risk of losing principal, but by owning a mix of stocks, bonds, government securities and other types of investments, you can help reduce the impact of volatility on your portfolio. Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss. • Losing value when interest rates change — This type of risk primarily affects fixedincome investments, such as

OHSAA Explains Importance of High School Sports The following was published in an issue of the OHSAA (Ohio High School Athletic Association) Magazine. “The Interscholastic athletics programs are inherently educational. They provide valuable lessons for practical situations teamwork, sportsmanship, citizenship, winning and losing, and hard work. “Through participation, students learn self-discipline, personal sacrifice and leadership, build self-confidence, learn to respect others, develop strategic thinking, and develop skills to handle competitive situations. These are the qualities the public expects in students so that
they become responsible adults and productive citizens. “There is nothing wrong with striving to be the best. Interscholastic athletic programs must strive to develop all the kids who want to participate to be their best - their best as individuals, as students, as teammates, as members of the community, - not just their best as athletes. “In interscholastic athletics, we win if we develop winners. However, we lose if all we care about is winning.” OHSAA Names the Five W’s of Interscholastic Athletics The following was published in an issue of the OHSAA (Ohio High School Athletic Association) Magazine. “Who? We’re educational athletics, not big-time promoters. “What? We’re the builders of tomorrow’s community leaders, not farm clubs for college and professional teams. “When? We’re an afterschool activity, not a yearround endeavor. These are programs that allow kids to be kids. “Where? Our games should be played locally. There’s plenty of healthy competition where kids can learn and grow through athletics in most of our backyards. We don’t need national schedules to accomplish our purposes. “Why? Because it’s the only right way to do it. Schools offer these programs because they enhance the educational experience of the young people who participate.” OHSAA Mission Statement The Ohio High School Athletic Association’s mission is to regulate and administer interscholastic athletic competition in a fair and equitable manner while promoting the values of participation in interscholastic athletics as an integral part of a student’s educational experience. The OHSAA represents its member schools by recognizing and promoting academics, the safety of participants, good citizenship, and lifelong values as the foundation of interscholastic athletics. Tournament Officials Selection Process The assigning for Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) sports tournaments through the district level is overseen by the OHSAA District Athletic boards, but many other people are involved including coaches, athletic directors, assigners, and OHSAA staff and commissioners. OHSAA administrators take over the selection of officials for the regional and state levels. Tournament officials are assigned based on rating and votes from those involved in their sport. All head coaches of varsity teams are required to rate officials on a one to five basis. Athletic directors, assigners, local associations, and
athletic board members then vote for officials. These people are given a limited number of votes to vote for whomever they wish. Their votes are then added together to get an official’s total number of votes. The votes and rankings will be used in the next year’s tournament selection process. In order to officiate a tournament game, an official must have officiated a minimum number of regular-season games, participated in their local and state meetings, and not be a coach or assigner to work the regional or state level. The list of eligible officials is then sent out to the district athletic boards to assign for sectional or district games. Local resident Jerry Fick has been selected by the OHSAA to serve as the Statewide Director of Officiating Development in softball. OHSAA Announces Important Football Dates The Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) has approved starting and ending dates for high school football for the 2013, 2014, and 2015 seasons. The 2013 and 2015 seasons will see practice begin Aug. 5 with the first game being able to take place Aug. 26 (most openers will probably not take place until Aug. 30), and the state finals will be Dec. 6 and 7. In 2014, practice will begin Aug. 4 and the first game may take place Aug. 25 (most openers probably will take place Aug. 29) and the state finals will be Dec. 5 and 6.
Ten-Star Boys and Girls Basketball Camps The Ten Star All Star Basketball Camp is accepting applications. The camp participation is by invitation only. The camp is for boys and girls 10-19 years of age. College basketball scholarships are possible for those players selected for the AllAmerican team.

A once-a-year pruning to get rid of dead wood helps keep them shapely. If you just can’t stand insects chewing holes in the leaves you can spray them with an allpurpose rose spray like Bonide “Rose RX 3 in 1” but they really don’t need it. No rose is totally maintenance-free, but Knock-Out roses have proven to be tough survivors with very little attention. If you’d like to try some, or want to add more to your garden, or make a gift of one to your favorite “black thumb,” see us. We have hun-
dreds of healthy, good-sized Knock-Out roses and we’re looking for homes for them. If you’ve given up on roses, think again because you can grow these easily.

“Knock-Out” roses bloom from spring to frost with very little care.
Business women in the community are invited to a new event, a breakfast tea being planned by the Women’s Initiative Network Committee (WIN) of the Clermont County Chamber of Commerce. The traditional tea, networking event will be held from 8 - 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 18 at the Cincinnati Nature Center. “The tea event will take place in the lovely setting of the Cincinnati Nature Center's Krippendorf Lodge,” said Cyn Macke, Director of Member Services. “This elegant morning tea menu will feature traditional scones with clotted cream and preserves, and assorted tea sandwiches.” The featured program is "Natural Treasures of the Cincinnati Nature Center" presented by Connie O’Connor, Director of Education and Visitor Services. O’Connor will speak about the history of CNC and the variety of programs they offer for adults through “NatureVersity”. Lori Hansel, chair of the event said, “This is a brand new event and opportunity where we can pull up a chair, have a cup of tea, and let the information shared by other women offer a bit of insight in

By now just about everyone has heard of the phenomenal “Knock-Out” Rose. Actually there are seven rose varieties currently being marketed under the “Knock-Out” brand, and some are definitely better than others. But they’re all pretty good and some are very good. Overall, “Knock-Out” roses are easy to grow, bloom constantly, resist disease, survive winter cold and “selfclean”. This means the spent blooms drop off and are replaced with new blooms, without tedious “deadheading” (cutting the old blooms off). They all grow to about four feet tall and wide in a nice bushy shape without much pruning. They are so colorful and perform so well they can be used instead of shrubs in foundation plantings and hedges, with very little maintenance. The best Knock-Outs are the original red and pink, the first ones introduced. Red
and pink Knock-Out roses with “double” blooms (more petals per flower) were introduced later and also perform extremely well. We’ve tried them all in our own gardens and in landscapes, and to our delight they are terrific, as good as all the hype. Other Knock-Out introductions followed. The red and pink “Double” Knock-Outs have fuller blooms, more like traditional hybrid tea rose blooms but smaller. They are excellent performers. “Blushing Knock-Out” is pale pink with a yellow center. “Rainbow Knock-Out” is darker pink with a yellow center. Both are good performers but we know of other brands as good or better. Most recently we’ve seen the “Sunny Knock-Out”, a pale yellow single bloomer. This one doesn’t self-clean as well or bloom as heavily as the other Knock-Outs but it’s still nice. All these roses can make practical landscape shrubs in locations with full sun all day or even in partial sun. We take special care when planting, adding peat moss and Rose Tone fertilizer mixed thoroughly with the planting soil. After that we just fertilize and mulch them like any other shrub.

Seniors, take care while puttering in garden Gardening is an enjoyable activity for many seniors. Gardening has therapeutic and health benefits if done safely. Health benefits include exposure to fresh air, physical activity and access to fresh produce. However, care must be taken to prevent injury while gardening and for seniors with medical conditions or health disabilities, some careful planning can make gardening a real possibility. About one in every five do-it-yourself (DIY) injuries occurs during gardening. Physical, mental and age related changes must be considered when older people work in a garden. Fragile thin skin makes older adults more prone to bumps, bruises and sunburn. Impaired or decreased vision can lead to injury. Older adults are more sensitive to temperature changes and that can lead to heat exhaustion and dehydration. Falls are more common since many older adults have balance problems. Osteoporosis can make fractures from falls a concern. Arthritis can limit mobility and flexibility. To limit the physical stress of gardening and make it safer, consider modifying the garden space, tools and equipment. Helpful gardening tips: • Warm up before gardening with safe stretches and take frequent breaks. • Vertical garden beds can make the garden more accessible for seniors. • Container gardens or raised beds may be easier for older adults to maintain and they can eliminate much stooping and bending. • Adaptive tools and equipment are available at many hardware stores. • Ensure that paths and walkways are smooth, stable and clear of clutter and tools. • Be cautious with power tools and store all tools and equipment safely. • Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol.
