Clermont Senior Services auction raises $40,000 Levy on November ballot crucial for continued operation Sun staff
Clermont Senior Services hosted their 12th annual Art, Antique and Collectibles Auction Sept. 9 and while the event made for a fun and entertaining evening, it also served as a fund-raiser. “I enjoy helping, I enjoy giving,” Jean Keets, of Amelia, said about why she comes to the auction. “I just think it is a good cause.” The auction, which featured hundreds of items, is a way for community members to bid on items that they want, while also supporting Clermont Senior Services. Both a silent auction and live auction took place at this year’s event, which also included a sit-down dinner and homemade appetizers made by auction committee members and volunteers. Silent auction items ranged from gift certificates to fine china. Guests were able to peruse the silent auction items and make bids before and after dinner. Bidding closed as Senior Services Executive Director George Brown stood up to speak. Brown discussed the senior service levy that will appear on the Nov. 8 election ballot.
Brown said the levy, which is a renewal, is crucial to keep Clermont Senior Services running. “It’s not just your vote that is immensely important,” Brown said. “But to encourage lots of other folks to get out and support the levy.” Clermont Senior Services provides Meals-On-Wheels, transportation, home care, adult day care and more to seniors throughout Clermont County. Eighty percent of these services are covered by the levy and 20 percent of services are covered by fundraisers. Clermont County’s senior service levy was the first county-wide senior service levy in Ohio. Lois Brown Dale helped to secure the levy on the ballot in 1982, and the five-year renewal levy has been in existence ever since. “This is extremely vital to the seniors of Clermont County,” Commissioner Ed Humphrey said about the levy. “If the renewal fails, Clermont County Senior Services closes its doors.” Brown encouraged guests at the auction to take signs, brochures and other information about the levy to use and pass along. Next, Brown introduced Joel

he began showing off the items and asking for higher bids. Some of the items climbed over $300 as bidding wars began between guests. “I think it’s very well organized,” Rebekah Enis, of
Maineville said about the auction. “I’ve been impressed with the nice presentation they’ve made with the items.” Enis was invited by friends to attend the event and said she was touched when she found
Vigil connects those affected by suicide Friends and family members come together to remember loved ones BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff
Suicide is tragedy that affects thousands each year. According to Mental Health America, 30,000 Americans die by suicide and 500,000 attempt suicide each year. While the death toll is high, the awareness of the problem is still low, in many cases because of the stigma attached to suicide. This stigma makes it difficult to both prevent and deal with the issue. For these reasons, Mental Health America of Southwest Ohio as well as the Clermont County Mental Health and Recovery Board and Clermont County Suicide Prevention Coalition team up each year to hold a candlelight vigil to remember those who lost their lives to suicide. “I think with suicide, it has such a stigma, people don’t always get support,” Lee Ann
Watson, of Clermont County Mental Health and Recovery Board, said. “This gives them the opportunity to get that and be around people dealing with the same thing.” Watson said there have been 19 confirmed suicides in Clermont County already this year, and that doesn’t count individuals who were transported to hospitals in other counties. Watson said that number is already up from last year. The vigil, which was held Sept. 8 at Veterans Memorial Park in Union Township, began with music by the West Clermont By Request Choir and a candle lighting ceremony. “When an event is held 10 consecutive years, it is an achievement, a milestone, but this is not a milestone,” Virginia Dennis, of Mental Health America, said at the ceremony.

88 additional properties added to the regulated area by USDA STAFF REPORT
B R O A D S H E E T E v E N
As the United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service continues to evaluate the infestation of the Asian longhorned beetle in Clermont County, 88 additional properties were added to the quarantine area Sept. 9. The contiguous properties are located near the intersection of Lindale-Mt. Holly Road and Concord Road within Monroe Township. The parcels represent all land located within one-fourth mile of the Asian longhorned beetle infestation. “At this time it appears that this infestation was found very early,” Matt Beal, chief of the Ohio Department of Agriculture Division of Plant Health, said. “And we believe that the infested trees are likely confined to a small number of properties.” Because the Asian longhorned beetle infests and kills many hardwood trees,
including maples, birches and elms, being added to the quarantine means that the movement of hardwood logs, firewood, stumps, roots and branches within the regulated areas is prohibited. Officials from APHIS have been working in the county since the Asian Longhorned Beetle was first found in Tate Township in June. They have been surveying trees for signs of infestation and have also been investigating potential movement of infested wood. “As response efforts continue in Clermont County, we are learning more about where potentially infested material has moved in the recent years,” Christine Markham, program director of the APHIS ALB eradication program, said. “It is important property owners familiarize themselves with signs of ALB infestation.” Signs of infestation include round holes in the bark of hardwood trees, accumula-
tion of sawdust on the tree, oozing sap and round pits in the bark. In addition, adult beetles can also be seen on infested trees. The Asian longhorned beetle is black and shiny with white spots on its back. It has a bullet-shaped body and can be up to 1.5 inches long. It also has long antennae. According to APHIS officials, only egg sites have appeared trees in the new quarantine area, and no adult beetles have emerged from the trees at this time. ODA and APHIS will host a public meeting to provide an update on the Asian longhorned beetle detection efforts at 6 p.m. Sept. 22 at the Community Center in Bethel. More information and a map of the quarantine area can also be found at www.ohioagriculture.gov. “We appreciate everyone's understanding and cooperation with this process as we work to eradicate the beetle,” Markham said.

Bookworm Sez ‘Night Circus’ is an excellent read CmyK
Asian longhorned beetle quarantine area expanded
Terri SChliCheNmeyer The Bookworm Sez
Some days, you feel like you’re living inside a circus. Each morning, your family races out the door like a herd of elephants. At work, you’re surrounded by clowns and dealing with a dog-and-pony show. You juggle, swing schedules, walk a tight rope, crack the whip, and are often surprised you don’t trip over a tent stake. Life is a circus, but you’ve never lived inside a threeringer like Le Cirque des Reves. And as you’ll see in the new novel “The Night Circus” by Erin Morgenstern, neither has anybody else. The circus always appeared quietly, as if it were sneaking into town. Nobody ever remembered seeing signs or hearing a train or sounds of the Big Top setting up. One minute, it seemed, there was a bare field. The next minute, it was filled with black-and-white striped canvas and a sign out front: Le Cirque des Reves opened at sundown. Few were better suited for circus work than Celia Bowen. Beautiful, almost luminous, Celia was The Illusionist who made silent magic every night in front of an audience, then disappeared until the next show. But magic wasn’t her only job: Celia held the circus together with the talents her father helped refine. When she was just six years old, little Celia went to live with her father. Known as Prospero the Enchanter, Hector Bowen was an illusionist himself, so when he saw his daughter break, then reassemble a teacup using her mind and her eyes, Hector

knew that she was stronger than he. Delighted, he called his associate and suggested a little wager. The man in the grey suit saw Celia’s talent, too, and accepted Hector’s offer. The girl was good, but perhaps a student with more maturity and control would be better. Marco Alisdair grew up knowing that his magical abilities were meant for bigger things, so when he had opportunity to work for someone who owned a circus, it was no surprise that the man in the grey suit arranged for him the job. But as situations became more complicated and the circus moved farther away from London, it became obvious to Marco that he was not the only one running the show… or his life… Take a bit of HBO’s Carnivale. Add in some wicked Ray Bradbury and a little Mad Hatter, ice it down with prestidigitation and spiritualism, and you’ve got some
idea of what to expect in “The Night Circus.” With a showman’s flourish in an opening paragraph, author Erin Morgenstern invites readers into a mesmerizing 19th century world where everything and nothing is real, and even the characters don’t know the difference. There are shivers here, as well as a story of betrayal, mistrust, love, and horrifying secrets. I was captivated by this darkly stunning debut novel from an author that bears watching, and there’s no way you should miss it, either. So step right up ladies and gentleman and be amazed at what you’ll find between these fiendish covers. For you, “The Night Circus” conjures a most excellent read. 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.

Vigil: Remembering those lost to suicide Continued from page 1 this.” Molina shared the events that led up to her sister’s unexpected death, and she also shared some of the ways she has coped with the frustrations of losing a loved one to suicide. “Try to find a way to redirect the energy you have inside of you,” Molina said. “You don’t have to be ashamed, you don’t have to look over your shoulder when you hear the word suicide.”
For many in the audience Molina’s words hit home. And being in the company of others at the ceremony was both comforting and strengthening. “It’s a way for us to grieve together and come together for our loved ones we’ve lost,” Amanda Walters, of Newtown, who lost a friend to suicide, said. “It is definitely helpful for people wanting to find support.” And while friends and family members were given a chance to remember their loved one, they were also
given a chance to move forward with their own lives. “Give yourself permission to live,” Molina told those who attended the event. The ceremony came to a close with a balloon release, and as the balloons floated off into the sky, friends and family members seemed to let some of their sadness and anger go as well. “In a weird way, it’s nice to know you’re not the only one hurting,” Jessica Henderson, of Anderson, who lost two friends to suicide, said.

Filiger Road: Options discussed Continued from page 1 “I think it’s got everyone’s vote as the worst road in the county,” Scott Brown, who lives off Meghan’s Run, said about Filager Road at the open house. “The main concerns are there are two major danger points.” Brown said the danger points are two blind spots, which were created by the terrain and trees blocking the way. He said the safety issue is getting worse because the cut-through traffic is increasin g and the road is narrow. Filager Road narrows to one lane shortly after it extends past the county offices. The overall condition of the road is also deteriorating. The pavement has large potholes and the road is still gravel in some areas. “I’d like to see it paved and have pull-offs, maybe widened here and there,” Wendy Key, who lives off Meghan’s Run, said about the road. “Right now the potholes are so ba d and there is not enough room to get around.” Key said the road definitely has safety issues but she, and several other residents who live off the road, said they don’t want Filager to become a two lane road because a number of trees would have to be removed for that to happen. One alternative is making Filager a one-way road, and while some residents were in favor of the idea, others were not, because it wou ld add to

their commute. “We want an immediate solution,” Wendy’s husband Doug Key said. “To make it one way would eliminate issues.” Brown said it would be a few miles out of his way if Filager was turned into a oneway road, and suggested widening the road and providing pull-off areas instead. “The primary concern is we want to make it safe,” Brown said. Around 40 residents stopped by the open house Sept. 7 , and while everyone had different ideas on what steps to take with the
improvements, they all agreed the road needs attention. Doug Royer, deputy engineer for Clermont County, said the first step is to collect input from as many residents as possible and investigate their concerns and suggestions. He said they hope to have some plans put together by December, so they can start working on improvements next year. Residents can submit suggestions to the engineer’s office until the end of the month by contacting Royer or Todd Gadbury at (513) 7328885.

Ohio High School Athletic Association Mission Statement The Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) mission is to regulate and administer interscholastic athletic competition in a fair and equitable manner whittle promoting the values of participation in interscholastic athletics as an integral part of a student’s educational experience. The OHSAA represent its member school by recognizing and promoting athletics, the safety of participants, good citizenship, and lifelong values as the foundation of interscholastic athletics. OHSAA Explains Importance of High School Sports The following was published in a recent 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 there best as athletes. “In interscholastic athletics, we win if we develop winners. However, we lose if all we care about is winning. “It is my sincere desire that the families and communities in Ohio will see the benefits of school sports above any other kind of youth sports. This philosophy of educational athletics, which the OHSAA places above all else, is what will produce tomorrow’s good citizens and community leaders, not playing eight games a weekend of hopping around the country from one ‘big’ tournament to the next, New Richmond New Baseball and Softball Diamonds Players may not wear cleats on the new turf baseball and softball fields at New Richmond High School. The turf requires molded cleats or turf shoes. Anyone who has unused football or soccer shoes are asked to donate them to the New Richmond High School Athletic Department so these shoes may be worn by players from the visiting teams. Please bring these shoes to the high school office. For more information, contact Doug Foote, New Richmond athletic director, 513-553-3191 extension 10003.

If you’re a woman who owns a business, you’ve got plenty of company. In fact, women own more than 10 million U.S. companies, and women-owned businesses account for about 40% of all privately held firms in the U.S., according to the Center for Women’s Business Research. Clearly, the good news is that women like you

are entering the small-business arena at a rapid pace. The not-so-good news is that you may be facing a retirement savings gap in comparison to male business owners. To get a sense of this gap, consider these statistics: • According to the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Office of Advocacy, 19.4% of male business owners have 401(k) or similar plans, compared with just 15.5% of women owners. • The percentage of female business owners with Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) is about the same as that of male business owners — but the men have

more money in their accounts. The average woman’s IRA balance is about $51,000, compared with $91,000 for men, according to a recent report by the Employee Benefit Research Institute. Although these figures change constantly with the ebbs and flow of the market, the difference between the genders remains significant. One way to help close this savings gap, of course, is to set up a retirement plan for your business. But for many women business owners (and male owners, too), the perceived cost of setting up and running a retirement plan has been an obstacle. However, the retirement plan market has opened up considerably for small business owners over the past several years, so you might be surprised at the ease and inexpensiveness of

administering a quality plan that can help you build resources for your own retirement — and help you attract and retain good employees. With the help of a financial professional, you can consider some of the myriad of plans that may be available to you: • Owner-only 401(k) — This plan, which is also known as an individual 401(k), is available to selfemployed individuals and business owners with no fulltime employees other than themselves or a spouse. You may even be able to choose a Roth option for your 401(k), which allows you to make after-tax contributions that can grow tax-free. • SEP IRA — If you have just a few employees or are self-employed with no employees, you may want to consider a SEP IRA. You’ll fund the plan with taxdeductible contributions, and you must cover all eligible employees. • Solo defined benefit plan — Pension plans, also known as defined benefit plans, are still around — and you can set one up for yourself if you are self-employed or own your own business. This plan has high contribution limits, which are determined by an actuarial calculation, and as is the case with other retirement plans, your contributions are typically tax-
deductible. • SIMPLE IRA — A SIMPLE IRA, as its name suggests, is easy to set up and maintain, and it can be a good plan if your business has fewer than 10 employees. Still, while a SIMPLE IRA may be advantageous for your employees, it’s less generous to you, as far as allowable contributions, than an owner-only 401(k), a SEP IRA or a defined benefit plan.
As a business owner, you spend a lot of time thinking about what needs to be done today, but you don’t want to forget about tomorrow — so consider putting a retirement plan to work for you soon. Article submitted by S. Christian Wilks, an Investment Representative with Edward Jones, Milford.

Eliminating stupid grass from your landscape
B R O A D S H E E T E v E n
Many years of working in the lawn maintenance business have made me really notice how landscape design affects maintenance. The number-one sinkhole for lawn maintenance manhours is what we call “stupid grass.” Stupid grass is lawn grass in places where it’s difficult to mow, and requires weekly hand trimming. I’m old enough to remember when the “Weed Eater” first appeared on the landscape scene. I was on the grounds crew at Raritan Valley Country Club in New Jersey, and I thought the “Weedie” was the coolest thing I’d ever seen. I could manicure lawn grass in rough and hard-toreach areas like roadside ditches and around fence posts with ease. Landscapers embraced this breakthrough invention, and eventually every homeowner had one. The downside was that designers doubled down on planting lawn grass in places that made no sense. After all, hand trimming was now a breeze and could be done standing up. The fact remained that every step in lawn mowing must be done over 30 times each season, so even if it “only takes a minute” that means a halfhour of needless work each season, year after year. Many homeowners routinely spend an hour “weedeating” every week, which adds up to over 200 man-days in a typical adult lifetime, the equivalent of an entire year’s worth of workdays. All this needless toil can be easily eliminated with good design. Obstacles such as utility poles, hydrants, mailboxes and signposts can be incorporated into landscape beds. Lawn edges can be rounded off to eliminate tight corners and dead-ends. “Trim

strips” of gravel or mulch can be installed along walls and under fences so that lawn grass doesn’t need trimming. Landscape beds can be expanded and lawn areas reduced. Steep slopes can be planted with groundcovers or shrubs. I’m always surprised how few commercial businesses give this any thought. Sloppy landscape design can lock business owners into decades of needless maintenance expense. Efficient and practical landscaping enhances any commercial property, and the savings on landscape maintenance go right to the bottom line. Meanwhile, an attractively landscaped business property attracts more customers and enhances the community. Look around you and see how few businesses actually put any thought into this. After location, curb appeal is the largest single factor in property value. Homeowners and businesses alike benefit from professionally-designed landscapes in many ways. This doesn’t require a huge expense in most cases, just some quality design and installation. Over time, the
initial investment in efficient low-maintenance landscaping pays off. Thoughtless landscaping costs real money, year after year, like a leaky faucet. Look around your property and see if you can find any “stupid grass.” Once you learn to spot it, you’ll start seeing it everywhere. So much of it, in fact, that you’ll start to wonder why so many people spend so much time and effort on it.
