New Richmond council explores new levy idea Instead of general levy, council to seek levies for specific purposes BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff
After the failure of a 3 mill tax levy in the May 2011 election, New Richmond council
members are looking at making some changes for the next go-round. “Instead of putting a 3-mill levy on, split it up,” Councilman Nick Wolf said at
their June 14 meeting. Wolf suggested splitting the levy up into specific uses, for example a cemetery levy, which he said is a good idea for the village. The levy would go toward upkeep for the cemeteries, which Wolf said have been deteriorating. “It is difficult for us to ask people for money,” Wolf said.
“Somehow instead of putting a 3 mill levy, split it up. People don’t know where it goes otherwise.” Mayor Ramona Carr agreed with the idea and said if council members designate the money to a specific place, it can’t be used elsewhere. Although some council members thought a cemetery
levy was a good idea, when administrator Dave Kennedy suggested a street levy, it caught their attention. “I think it would be extremely beneficial,” Kennedy said about a street levy. He said they could use the money collected to improve streets and sidewalks through-

Four servicemen returned home from their deployments and were honored by a room full of people during the county commissioners’ regular session June 22. Pfc. Andrew Gerber of the U.S. Army, Spc. Zackary Mullenix of the U.S. Army, Tech. Sgt. Jeremy Harper of the U.S. Air Force and Cpl. Brent Becker of the U.S. Marine Corps all returned from various missions and were present at the session. “What makes these guys special is that they are so humble,” said Commissioner Bob Proud, as he presented a certificate on behalf of the commissioners. Each serviceman was able to speak briefly about themselves, and after joking around with each other about what high school they attended and what service they joined, they even thanked one another for a job well done. “Each time I do this I get a special feeling in my heart,” said Danny Bare, executive director of the Clermont
out the village and residents would know when they voted that the money would be going toward these types of repairs. Mayor Carr suggested rotating the levies instead of asking residents to vote for all of them at once, she said both the

Congresswoman Jean Schmidt also presented certificates to the servicemen.
Until 2010, the end of June normally marked the Founder’s Day Celebration in Bethel. The celebration has been absent the last two years, and the lack of funding is preventing the Burke Park Log Cabin Committee from accomplishing their ultimate goal. “It was supposed to be a fund-raiser to help raise funds for the cabins,” Ron Shouse, committee chairman, said about the Founder’s Day Celebration. “We didn’t feel it would be prudent to use funds to do a festival if we weren’t going to break even.” So Shouse said the committee called off the festival in 2010 and again this year, and they continue to hold on to the money they have already saved to hopefully put toward future renovations for the cabins at Burke Park. “We all realize it takes a while,” Shouse said. “The

Photographer tells unique story BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff
Stephen Marc has spent most of his adult life behind the lens of a camera, and for the art school graduate and now Arizona State University professor, a significant amount of this time has been spent following and documenting the stories behind the Underground Railroad. “What I thought would be a couple weeks investigating
the Underground Railroad turned into nine years,” Marc said. What came out of those nine years was not only a book entitled “Passage on the Underground Railroad,” but a commitment from Marc to share the stories he came across during his journey visiting historical sites across the United States and in Canada. Marc was inspired to begin exploring the Underground Railroad in 2000 while work-
ing on an exhibition, called Soul Searching, for the CEPA Gallery, a foundation that presents contemporary photorelated art and supports local artists, in Buffalo, New York. Marc said while he was working on his project, he discovered there were two major Underground Railroad crossings in close proximity. Marc was able to photograph the locations and they spurred his interest in the Underground Railroad. After he finished the Soul Searching project, the impact of the Underground Railroad sites inspired Marc continued

exploring the Underground Railroad in 2001. “I knew probably about as much as most people do,” Marc said about the Underground Railroad. “What I found is it was much bigger, with incredible stories behind it. I felt it was important that I try to do something to get a sense of how big it was.” Marc literally went site-tosite photographing and learning the history of the Underground Railroad. While some of his work was accomplished easily enough, gaining access to many of the private sites along the Underground

Cabins: Renovations still planned Continued from page 1 cabins are still very important to us. We have full intentions of getting renovations done.” Shouse said both the Acord cabin and the blacksmith cabin need significant renovations including new foundation and multiple logs replaced. The cabins were gifted to the village as a bicentennial celebration project in 1976, and in the years after that, the cabins were used for festivals, family activities and many educational field trips for local students. Shouse said many people tell him they remember spending time in the cabins when they were children in school. “Those people still remembered that,” Shouse said. “And there is nothing better when you’re trying to teach than to make it stick and be hands on.” Shouse said he would like to see the cabins used for educational purposes again, and if the committee can raise $10,000, which they already
are working toward, they can begin looking for grants that will match that amount and help fund renovations. “We’d like to have more people involved in this,” Shouse said. “Giving more ideas and ways to do funding.” Shouse said it has been frustrating trying to accomplish the task with limited funding during rough economic times, but he is not giving up. After the brief break the
committee has taken, he said he plans to recruit some new members this fall this fall in addition to members of the Clermont County, Grassy Run and Bethel historical societies who already participate on the committee. “I think now there is a great (village) council, we’re excited about the people who are there and working with them when we sit back down in the fall,” Shouse said. “I think it is going to be a good thing.”

Soldiers Continued from page 1 Sheriff Tim Rodenberg was also present and joked around with the men about outstanding police warrants before presenting each of them with a challenge coin. The four servicemen returned home to their families after serving in several countries. Both Gerber and Becker served in Afghanistan, Harper served in Saudi Arabia and Mullenix served in Cuba. “I was attached to the Navy Seals,” Gerber said. “They were doing some high-tech stuff, it was pretty cool to be a part of it.” Both Becker and Harper said they primarily provided security during their missions. Becker provided security so Afghani people could pave a road and Harper provided security and also interacted with the Saudi Arabian people. “It’s a good experience to see the culture the way it is,” Harper said. “We can interact with the locals, it is interesting to talk to them. It’s eye opening.” Mullenix, who was stationed in Cuba, helped conducted the safe and humane treatment of detainees during his service. He said he realized from his experience there that there’s no place like home. Despite their job duties and forms of service, all four of the servicemen were glad to be home. From congregations of people welcoming them at the airport, to traveling all day and night just to get home, they said it was a relief to finally be here. “It is just great after a year being deployed,” Harper, who came home to his wife and children, said. “They grew up quite a bit while I was gone. It’s hard, but when you come back and see them it’s kind of like nothing changed.” The servicemen were also glad to arrive home to a county where people noticed they were gone. “It feels good knowing we have a lot of support waiting back home for us,” Gerber said. Becker said it is nice to see

Creature Feature Reverse sneezing frightens owners ly and lightly compressing the chest. Notify your veterinarian if any of the following occurs:
BY DR. DAN MEAKIN All dog owners have on occasion witnessed their pooch have a snorting fit alarming them into thinking the dog was in danger. Having been on call for 19 years at All Creatures, I probably have received more emergency calls for reverse sneezing than any other single issue. My first year out of school, while doing my internship at West L.A. Veterinary Medical Group, I remember meeting and treating celebrity Joan Rivers’ Yorkshire terrier at 2 a.m. for a mild case of reverse sneezing. She said, “thank you darling.” The point is reverse sneezing alarms people and makes owners panic. Reverse sneeze syndrome is characterized by a series of rapid, loud forced inhalations through the nostrils, lasting anywhere from 10 seconds to 2 minutes. Attacks occur on a sporadic, unpredictable basis. Dogs usually have the head extended forward and stand still during the episode. Affected dogs appear completely normal before and after the attack. There is no loss of consciousness or collapse, though sometimes the appearance of the dog is upsetting to owners. Many dogs, especially small breeds, have these attacks throughout their lives. The exact cause of reverse sneezing is unknown, but it may be associated with sinusitis, allergies, or other upper respiratory disorders. Many believe affected dogs are consciously removing mucus from the nasal passages. In fact, many dogs swallow at the end of the attack. Whatever the cause, the condition is usually not serious. If the condition appears suddenly in an older dog or if

As business leaders come together for a year of increasing their knowledge of critical community issues and enhancing their leadership skills through the Chamber Foundation’s LEAD Clermont Program, the Foundation announces a call for community projects. Since the LEAD Clermont Program began in 1993 with class members such at Tom Niehaus, Roger Barry, Greg Crowell, Jean Schmidt, Dave Spinney, John Melvin, Chris Dugle, Judy Hearn, Carl Hartman, Jim Meyer, Len Koogler and Julie Bristow, LEAD Clermont has improved the quality of life in Clermont County by class members giving time and leadership to a community project. These projects have resulted in benefit to youth, the homeless, senior citizens, veterans, the environment, literacy, parks and recreation, safety, education, health and economic growth. The recently graduated LEAD Clermont Class of 2011 took on the challenge of addressing the 21st Century Skills Gap, a comprehensive three phase project that grew out of a concern that in order to attract and keep business and industry in Clermont County there needs to be an educated and skilled work
force of variously talented individuals with 21st century skills. The second phase of the Skill Gap project will continue as one of four – six projects of the Class of 2012. The Chamber Foundation invites government entities, community organizations and citizens and community leaders to submit proposals for a
project to which a team of 4 – 5 business leaders can give time, expertise and leadership for a 9 month period of time. Project Proposals fully describing the project, its goals and objectives, and how it improves the quality of life in Clermont County must be received at the Clermont Chamber of
Commerce, cyn.macke@clermontchamber.com, by the end of business July 8, 2011. Projects selected for presentation to the class will require representation at the Chamber of Commerce at an August 4 morning meeting. For further information call (513) 576-5006.

Pictures: A photographic journey Continued from page 1 consider letting him photograph their sites. But like a key, Marc’s work samples helped him gain access to the sites and develop even more helpful connections along the way. “What I found was that as those doors were closing, the momentum I had behind me is what allowed it to snowball,” Marc said. The work he had begun was not simply photographs of the sites, but rather, photographs with a twist. Images of documents and artifacts found during that period of time that Marc meshed into the photos he took of the historical sites. This was something Marc had played around with in Buffalo, New York, and carried over to his Underground Railroad project. “The photographs I saw usually looked like realestate photos,” Marc said. “My goal was to really try to do something that would visually instill imagery and take someone in and through the sites.” Marc photographed historical documents, letters, notes from slave owners, slave tags and many other significant pieces that he then used with the photos he took at differ-
ent historical sites. Many times the search for these items, as well as the sites, took Marc far from his home in Arizona, and often at his own expense. The photographer made the most of his time by traveling to several sites at one time, and visiting with some of the connections he made along the way. His dedication and hard work paid off, and in 2009, “Passage on the Underground Railroad,” Marc’s third book, with his photographs and contributions from Keith Griffler, Diane Miller and Carla Williams, was published. “I am relieved that it’s finally at the point it needed to be,” Marc said about the book. “Now the book and project have to live their own lives in a way. As you know, I am working on the next material.” Although he finished the book, Marc continues to explore the Underground Railroad and other historical sites around the country. His most recent photographic journey brought him to Clermont County to document parts of the National Underground Railroad Conference held June 14 to 18. “For me what was interest-
ing was the heritage tourism,” Marc said about the conference. “In many cases I was going into sites when people were not there. This is an attempt to look at that element of interaction of people with the sites.” Marc photographed many of these interactions during the conference, especially during the June 15 tour, which included visits to John Parker’s house in Ripley, Oh., Ulysses S. Grant’s birthplace in Pt. Pleasant, the Cranston Memorial Presbyterian Church in New Richmond and more. He said his goal is to make one or two composites to celebrate the conference. “I hope I haven’t done my best work yet,” Marc said. “I want to really be supportive of the different sites. It’s a story that is so big it needs to be told.”

Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in voice training and announcing exercises. A football official will review new rule changes, officials’ hand signals, and ways that officials and announcers can work better together. “Sports public address announcers should enhance the spectators enjoyment of the game without inserting themselves,” said Brad Rumble, NASPAA Executive Director..

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-disci-
pline, 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.

37 percent shortfall in the income they will need in retirement, according to a recent report by consulting firm McKinsey & Company. But now that we’ve gotten the “bad” stuff out of the way, let’s turn to the good news: You can do a great deal to work towards financial freedom during your retirement years. Here are some suggestions that can help: • Save and invest more. Obviously, the younger you are, the greater the benefit you’ll get by increasing your savings and investments. But whatever your age, you’ll find that it pays to save and invest more. During difficult economic times, of course, it’s not always easy to boost your savings and investments, but try to find ways that are as “automatic” as possible. For example, whenever you get a raise, increase your 401(k) contributions, which come directly from
your paycheck. And whenever you get a “windfall,” such as a tax refund, try to use part of it for your IRA or another investment account. • Rebalance your portfolio. It’s always a good idea to periodically rebalance your investments to make sure they are still aligned with your goals and risk tolerance. But it’s especially important to rebalance as you get older and you near retirement. At this stage, you’ll want to decrease the volatility in your portfolio and lock in what gains you’ve achieved, so you may want to move some (but certainly not all) of your more aggressive investments into less volatile ones. • Cut down on debts. It’s easier said than done, but anything you can do to reduce your debt load will free up money to invest for your retirement. Work diligently to pay off whatever debts you can and examine
your lifestyle to find areas in which you can reduce spending. • Consider working parttime during retirement. Many Americans are now living longer and enjoying happy, healthy retirements. In fact, the concept of “retirement” has changed so that it now includes any number of activities — including part-time work in a completely different area from one’s previous career. If you are willing to do even a little part-time work during your retirement years, you can greatly reduce the financial pressures you may face during this time of your life. The 4th of July comes and goes quickly. So put strategies in place now to help you work towards your own Financial Independence Day.

On July 4, we shoot fireworks, attend picnics, watch parades and otherwise celebrate our nation’s independence and the many freedoms we enjoy. But as you go through life, you’ll find out how important it is to work towards another type of freedom — financial freedom. That’s why you need to put strategies in place to help you work towards your own Financial Independence Day. And there’s no way to “sugar-coat” this task, because it will be challenging. In recent years, a combination of factors — including depressed housing prices, rising health care costs, frozen or eliminated pension plans and the financial market plunge of 2008 and early 2009 — has made it more difficult for many of us to accumulate the resources we’ll need to enjoy the retirement lifestyle we’ve envisioned. In fact, the average American family faces a

Controlling invasive bermudagrass
CMYK
So many readers have responded to last year’s column about “Bermudagrass”, this topic deserves a followup. This year our timing is better; one of our key points is that Bermudagrass control is most effective if done in July with a follow-up in August. We’ve seen many landscapes where Bermudagrass has taken over lawns and then invaded flower and shrub beds. The grass creeps along the ground, rooting wherever it touches the soil or mulch, forming a dense mat. It has a strong root system that can grow more than four feet deep. We’ve seen it come up right through asphalt paving. Needless to say, a weed this aggressive can ruin your landscaping in short order when it moves from the lawn into gardens and tree wells. Few herbicides are effective against it. Before mechanized farm machinery, Bermudagrass was the weed dreaded most by farmers. Considered an “invasive species” in 48 states, it, crowds out most other grasses and smothers gardens. This invasive nature leads some gardeners to give it the name of "devil grass". Controlling it is a real challenge. We found many websites online promoting and selling it, both as lawn grass and pasture forage for livestock. It is more popular in the Sunbelt states, where it stays green all year, but many homeowners in Ohio have Bermudagrass lawns. You can spot it easily in the fall because after hard frost it turns an ugly brown in otherwise green lawns. Bermudagrass hates cold weather and survives Ohio winters by extending its roots below the frost line. The deep root system is one reason it’s so hard to control. If you try to get rid of Bermudagrass by tilling or cultivating, the weed will spread faster because cultivation chops the stems into segments and each segment

becomes a new plant. Spraying with non-selective weed killers like Remuda or Roundup can be effective but will also kill the rest of your lawn. No chemical will kill Bermudagrass seeds in the soil. You’ll have to re-treat the area for years to kill new Bermudagrass seedlings. Still, a total “scorched earth” weed spraying, repeated several times, is the best way to start. Selective control in lawns and gardens is much harder. The only practical solution we’ve found is a selective Bermudagrass killer for lawns, based on fenoxapropp-ethyl. We sell it in our garden center, in a ready-to-use hose-end sprayer. You need two applications a month apart starting in July for control, but it’s easy to use and kills not only Bermudagrass but crabgrass, foxtail, sandbur and some other grassy weeds. It will not kill lawn grasses, and with a few exceptions won’t harm other types of plants in your landscape. It takes about an hour after
spraying to become rainproof. If you want to stop a Bermudagrass invasion, get started with a spray program right away. Once the weather starts to cool, the grass will go dormant and spraying won’t be effective. Because there will still be seed in your soil and beds, you’ll have to be vigilant next year as well or it will get re-established. After the second application of Bermudagrass killer you should re-seed your lawn with good grass seed; right around Labor Day is the ideal time to do this. We recommend turf-type tall fescue blends for most lawns. You can re-seed a day or two after spraying Bermudagrass killer Steve Boehme is the owner of GoodSeed Farm Country Garden Center & Nursery, located on Old State Route 32 three miles west of Peebles.
