Milford fire fighter deployed to Afghanistan Second deployment for Spc. Brinkman comes after wedding Sun staff
Three weeks ago, Spc. Robert Brinkman of the Ohio Army National Guard was celebrating one of life’s greatest moments when he was married. Today, the Milford graduate is preparing for his deployment to Afghanistan. Putting others before himself is nothing new for Spc. Brinkman. He started working at the Milford Fire Department when he was 16 years old, and in 2006, he joined the Army National Guard and went through training shortly after graduating high school. “It’s what I’ve always wanted to do,” Spc. Brinkman said about serving the country. “I was always in the woods when I was younger playing army man.” Spc. Brinkman was deployed to Iraq in 2008. He returned home, went back to work with the fire department and later met his future wife Sarah. The two were married just before Spc. Brinkman was set to leave for his second
deployment. And even though he hadn’t left yet at the time, Sarah Brinkman said she is already eager for her husband to return home so they can buy a house and start their life together. But first, Spc. Brinkman will serve his country in Afghanistan. The national guardsman will be on a team responsible for protecting higher ranking officers. He was honored for his commitment to the country at the Board of County Commissioners’ Sept. 14 session by Commissioners Ed Humphrey and Archie Wilson, Tracy Braden of The Thank You Foundation, Mark Coyle of the Clermont County Veterans’ Service Commission and Gertrud Whitaker on behalf of Congresswoman Jean Schmidt. “You are going to be well missed and many prayers are going to be said for you,” Braden said to Spc. Brinkman. The soldier said he was happy and honored to be recognized at the commissioners’ session, and said that kind

Spc. Brinkman said. “Something to come back to. It’s nice to see people when
you get back.” Spc. Brinkman left for base camp Sept. 14 and will be
deployed to Afghanistan for eight to nine months once training is complete.
Growth plan for watershed being finalized Autumn Bash to
Local jurisdictions evaluating plan for implementation BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff
East Fork State Park, part of the Little Miami River basin, is an asset to Clermont County as one of Ohio’s largest parks with over 4,870 acres of land. Protecting waterways in and around the park is important for both the park and the county, which is why the Middle East Fork Watershed Planning Partnership is working to develop the Middle East Fork Watershed Balanced Growth Plan. “We’ve been doing watershed planning since the early 2000s,” Becky McClatchey, watershed coordinator for the East Fork Watershed Collaborative, said. “But watershed action plans fall short because they don’t look at current land use.” McClatchey said the Middle East Fork Watershed Balanced Growth Plan will do just that. “It will help communities grow and thrive at the same time as it protects our critical water resources,” McClatchey said. The Middle East Fork Little
Miami River Watershed was selected by the Ohio Lake Erie Commission, which developed the first balanced growth initiative, and the Ohio Water Resources Council, to receive funding to create a plan of their own. McClatchey said representatives from both the Clermont Soil and Water Conservation District and the Department of Community Planning and Economic Development began working to recruit individuals for a planning partnership. Individuals recruited for the partnership included members from all sectors, including local developers, farmers, storm water experts and more. They began working together to rate important factors of both development and conservation in the watershed area. McClatchey said important factors for development included proximity to state or national roadways, sewer and other utility availability, underdeveloped tracts of land and more. For conservation, primary factors included areas that provided source water
protection, areas prone to landslides or erosion, stream corridors and more. The group also looked at primary areas for farming. “These are areas where you’re going to want to naturally encourage development and naturally conserve,” McClatchey said. She said they worked with a Geographic Information System team to create a map of the Middle East Fork Watershed that reflected the priority areas for development and conservation. Now, McClatchey is collaborating with local jurisdictions to help educate them about the Middle East Fork Balanced Growth Plan. “It’s important to have their input throughout the process,” McClatchey said. Jurisdictions will be able to provide feedback on balanced growth maps and the plan as a whole, which also includes tools and strategies to implement the plan as well as incentives for developing and conserving land in the areas suggested. “That’s a really important part of this plan,” McClatchey said. Incentive packages for following the plan will be creat-

be held Oct 7-8 Event to be held at Washington Township Park BY ART HUNTER Editor
Washington Township’s annual Autumn Bash has been set for Friday and Saturday, Oct. 7 - 8. The event offers two days packed full of food and activities for children and adults. “We think this is a really big deal,” Robin Brewer, township assistant administrator said. “We would like to think that our festival is a great, family-friendly festival for everybody in Clermont County.” New this year at the Autumn Bash for the kids will be the Halloween costume contest. There will be $10 cash prizes awarded for the coolest, cutest, funniest, most original, prettiest, and scariest outfits. The contest will be held Sunday at 2 p.m. “This is something we’ve never had,” Brewer said. “We
hope it will bring a lot of children out.” Following the costume contest Sunday, representatives from the Cincinnati Zoo will be present their “Wildlife Comes to You” program. The zoo educators will bring four zoo animal ambassadors to the Bash. There will also be a petting zoo presented by the Clermont County Goat Association from 12 - 4 p.m. Saturday. Other animals children can see and touch may include pythons, monitors, alligators, turtles and salamanders, brought by Arrowhead Reptile Rescue. For the adults there will be a fishing tournament from 7 11 a.m. Saturday, karaoke from 7 p.m. - closing both days, and music from David James and the Gang and Six Shooter. Everyone will enjoy the haunted trail, which will be open from 7:30 p.m. - 10 p.m. both nights of the event, the fireworks show to be held Saturday at 10:30 p.m., and See Bash, Page 4

ed both at the state and local level and could include density bonuses, easier permit processes, reduced inheritance taxes and payment to landowners for storm water management. McClatchey said after feedback has been received, a final plan will be provided to each jurisdiction in the Middle East Fork Watershed. “It’s up to them from then on to implement it,” McClatchey said. And while the plan provides suggestions and incentives for keeping development and conservation in the suggested areas, McClatchey said the plan is not regulated. “The idea behind this is to give each jurisdiction a tool,” McClatchey said. “It is not meant to be another regulation.” She said the hope is that jurisdictions will work to implement the plan and use it to help strengthen what they are already working toward with development and conservation. “I think it’s going to go a long way in restoring the East Fork back to attainment of its water quality standards,” she said.

World rabies Day raises awareness about the disease BY DR. DAN MEAKIN
B R O A D S H E E T E v E n
the word about rabies, and that effort is continuing this year with the fifth annual World Rabies Day observation on Wednesday, Sept. 28. Vaccination prior to possible exposure is a crucial part of health management of domestic animals, and is the single most important factor in rabies prevention. In most cases, disease is transmitted via bite wound. Only mammals are susceptible to infection, and wildlife is the primary animal group where infection occurs. When wildlife comes into contact with humans or domestic ani-

mals, rabies becomes a public health problem. Despite vaccination being readily available, every year the U.S. reports several human deaths from rabies, not to mention hundreds of dog and cat deaths. Rabies is nearly untreatable once symptoms begin despite all the resources of modern medicine and it is important to take its threat seriously. It is because of rabies that most municipalities have dog licensing requirements in order to ensure that the community's dogs are vaccinated. But where to start? Rabies is considered one of the world's oldest viral problems, with the first written record of the infection in dogs dating back to 1930 B.C. It was virtually eradicated in the United Kingdom through strict wandering animal and vaccination regulations in the 20th century, but raccoons have increased the spread of the disease in the United States, and recent pet booms have increased the incidence of infection in East Asia. Beijing in China has instituted a one-dog per person policy to help control the spread of the disease, while India reports the highest incidence of human rabies anywhere in the world. Now that the human-animal bond is increasing, and domestic animals are in greater contact with wildlife as they move into suburban areas, there is even more concern. People need to be reminded constantly to vaccinate their pets and the simple message of "if you can touch it, DON’T" for people who find it hard to resist the urge to welcome wild animals with open arms. World Rabies Day allows organizations from all over the world to come together to offer education and free vaccination clinics. It will be celebrated Sept. 28 this year with a major symposium at the CDC. But World Rabies Day will not be a one-stop event. Events are planned throughout
the year all over the world as authorities aim to re-educate each continent about the disease and what impact it could haIn the United States alone, more than 30 events were scheduled in observation of World Rabies Day. All Creatures is participating by having a Pet Health day and $5 rabies clinic this Saturday in Adams county at Holy Trinity church in West Union. (12-3pm) In Africa, a national event took place in Angola in July involving a door-to-door vaccination plan. Other events scheduled in Africa include mass vaccinations and festivals in the Congo, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Sudan, Swaziland and the United Republic of Tanzania. The most common wildlife species to spread rabies to domestic animals and humans in the Northern Hemisphere are the skunk, bat, raccoon, fox, and coyote. It should be noted in particular that wildlife, bats especially, are able to gain access to indoor areas and potentially infect pets and people. When human exposure to the animal in question is involved, what happens depends on an assortment of criteria. If the animal in question is dead, its brain can be tested for rabies. There is no test for rabies in a living animal but since we know that death follows quickly after the virus becomes contagious, a living animal can be confined for 10 days. If the animal is still alive 10 days after biting a person, then the bite could not have transmitted rabies. Fortunately, rabies prevention is accomplished with vaccination and limiting exposure to wildlife. The standard killed-virus vaccines are available for dogs, cats and ferrets. After the initial dose, which is good for one year, subsequent doses are generally good for three years. Because of an association with tumor development in cats with killed virus vaccine,

Dr. Dan examining healthy puppy in Chile at rabies clinic in May of 2010. a recombinant product is now available that uses a portion of rabies viral DNA cloned into a harmless canarypox virus. This vaccine is just as effective as the traditional vaccines but must be administered annually. Rabies vaccination protocols are typically controlled by municipal regulations. Most communities legally require vaccination of all dogs. The American Association of Feline Practitioners recommends rabies vaccination for all cats. In our area, if the biting domestic animal has been legally vaccinated against rabies by a veterinarian and is current, only routine first aid may be necessary. If the animal has not been currently vaccinated, it must be confined for 10 days at the owner's expense for observation and then vaccinated at the end of that period. The purpose of the ten-day period is to determine if rabies virus could have been in the animal's saliva at the time of the bite. An animal infected with rabies and shedding virus will certainly be dead within ten days. If the biting domestic animal is known to have been exposed to wildlife, the situation is different. A vaccinated animal must be re-vaccinated within 48 hours and confined for observation for 30 days. Unvaccinated animals must
either be confined for 6 months or be euthanized and tested for rabies. All bites that break the skin are reportable to the health department. In our area, all dogs and cats must be legally vaccinated against rabies. A fresh bite wound should be washed out with water quickly as this may wash out viral particles. The time it takes for the virus to reach the brain depends on the amount of virus present in addition to the proximity of the wound to the head. If the animal is dead, the head of the biting animal is submitted to the health department for fluorescent antibody testing for the rabies virus. If the biting animal is living, its vaccination status should be confirmed as soon as possible and it will need to be confined. The bite wound should be reported to the health department as soon as possible. Fortunately, myself (veterinarians have a rabies exposure risk more than 300 times that of the general population) and most of my family is vaccinated against Rabies. It is advised that anyone who is pursuing a career with animals be vaccinated against rabies. Dr. Dan Meakin is the owner of All Creatures Animal Hospital, 1894 Ohio Pike in Amelia.

Every year, more than 30,000 people in the United States are exposed to rabies. Worldwide, about 55,000 people die from the virus, equaling about one totally preventable human death every 10 minutes. Many cases originate from contact with animals carrying the deadly virus, so veterinarians and other animal care workers are especially at risk. Staying up-to-date on vaccinations and educating the public about the risks associated with rabies and how infection can be prevented are key elements to keeping the spread of rabies at bay. The initiation of World Rabies Day in 2006 was a combined effort by numerous animal and human health organizations to spread

They said you were worthless. You’d never amount to anything. No good. Not worth the time. And just like that, you were written off, completely and irrevocably dismissed. Discouraging? Yes, but scenes like this tend to fan the spark of defiance inside each of us, compelling us to boldly prove the naysayers wrong, thus ultimately creating fistshakingly strong human beings. And, as you’ll see in the new book “The Eighty-Dollar Champion” by Elizabeth Letts, such discouraging words also work for horses, too. By the time he left Holland, bound for America, Harry de Leyer had seen plenty. As the eldest of his parents’ dozen children, he’d braved the Nazis and risked his life for family and neighbors. He’d met hardship. So when he immigrated to America with his wife, a trunkful of possessions and $160, he was eager for opportunity. And he found it: by the mid1950s, the de Leyers had succeeded enough to buy a small farm on Long Island. A horseman at birth, Harry was the riding instructor at a posh girls’ school near his home when, in early 1956 and late to a horse sale, he spotted a ragged gray gelding on its way to slaughter. He was

always looking for gentle steeds for his students. Something in the animal’s demeanor made Harry pull out his bankroll. Cleaned up, the horse was rather pretty; “fleabitten,” as horsemen would say. He’d seen the harness of a plow, but he was friendly, easy-going and steady, a willing pupil. Snowman, as Harry’s children named him, would be perfect for Harry’s students. The animal’s $80 cost was money well-spent. At the end of the school year, with no room at his own stable, Harry sold Snowman to a nearby doctor, but Snowman had other ideas. Like a faithful mutt, the horse kept returning to Harry’s barn, leaping several fences to get there. Then one day, in Harry’s mind, everything clicked: this horse was a jumper! With a little work, he might be able to win a few competitions. With training, Snowman might, in some small way, fulfill one of Harry’s dreams… Author Elizabeth Letts says that in the late 1950s, when Snowman rocked the horse

cover what happens, Letts lends a definite edge-of-yourseat feeling to the story of Harry de Leyer and his unlikely dream-maker, and she does it by pulling readers back to mid-last-century: the times, the newsmakers, fashions, and myriad reasons why the nation held its breath as an aging gray plow horse flew over nearly-inconceivably high barriers. I don’t think you have to be a horse lover to enjoy this heartwarming true story about a couple of survivors, and love. No, for most readers, I think “The Eighty-Dollar Champion” is a worthy horse of a different color. The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer.

Fall colors are a paintbox for gardeners Drive-through clinic for flu shots to be held Now that fall is around the corner, those of us fortunate enough to live in the Ohio Valley will soon be enjoying a show of brilliant fall color comparable to the legendary New England autumn display. If you’ve planned your garden for fall color, you can experience a rainbow effect right in your own yard. But what actually causes the leaves change from summer’s green to fall’s rainbow hues, and why do these colors seem different each year? Fall color is caused by chemical reactions within plant leaves. There is actually a tug-of-war going on all year between chlorophyll (green) and various other pigments. During the growing season chlorophyll has the upper hand, but certain conditions will tip the balance in favor of other pigments. Trees with strong yellow colors are influenced by the duration of sunlight. As the days grow shorter, chlorophyll starts to weaken and the yellow pigments dominate. At this point the tree is no longer producing and storing food, and is starting to go dormant. Yellow and orange pigments (carotenoids) take over and the leaves drop. The red pigments that dominate certain plants are created as a response to environmental stresses such as light, dryness and temperature. Trees such as red maple, sweet gum, oakleaf hydrangea and Euonymus (‘burning bush”) use red pigments (anthocyanins) to protect the leaves under certain conditions. This makes the color vary quite a bit from year to year in both timing and intensity. Trees that turn brown in fall (such as Oak) have high amounts of tannins, which help protect leaves from foraging animals and insects. Tannins take over from chlorophyll after the first frost, when the chlorophyll is “turned off” by the low temperature. Since yellow pigments are always present in certain trees, fall color in the yellow range is the most consistent from year to year and varies mostly in the timing. The same is true of tannin-dominated trees, which always turn the same russet color. Plants with red fall foliage are the most variable. They develop their most intense color after periods of cool, but not freezing, night temperature. The combination of bright sunny days and cool nights in fall, following a warm wet spring and mild summer drought, brings on the most stunning red fall displays. You can orchestrate a spectacular show of fall color right in your own yard, by paying as much attention to fall foliage color as spring & summer bloom when choosing plants for your landscape. Take a good look around you as the season progresses, and take notice of which plants really catch your eye. These

are the plants to add to your landscape, your fall color “paint-box”, and fall is the best time to plant perennials and shrubs. A well-stocked nursery will have lots of choices right now to give your landscape “sizzle” for the rest of the season.

The Clermont County General Health District is offering seasonal flu shots at a drive-thru clinic on Saturday, Oct. 8, from 9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. at the Clermont County Fairgrounds, located at 1000 Locust Street in Owensville. Vehicles should enter through the Locust Street gate off US 50. Because this is a drive-thru clinic, participants will stay in their vehicles though the entire process; they should wear layers that allow easy access to the upper arm for vaccination. Flu shots cost $15 each; no checks, Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance will be accepted at the drive-thru clinic. No appointments are needed for the drive-thru clinic. Those on Medicare,
Medicaid, or not comfortable with the drive-thru clinic may schedule an appointment to receive a flu shot at the Clermont County General Health District Nursing Division by calling (513) 735-8400. “The ability to do a drivethru flu clinic provides a valuable service to the public while also benefiting the Health District in testing our emergency plans,” said Clermont County Assistant Health Commissioner Julianne Nesbit. “Getting a flu shot is the best way to protect yourself, your family, and others from seasonal flu.”
The Centers for Disease Control recommends that everyone six months and older should get a seasonal flu shot, especially those at high risk for developing complications from the flu. During the drive-thru clinic, participants will help test additional emergency plans by being dispensed candy to simulate medication that could be given during an attack such as anthrax. For more information about the flu, visit the website www.ClermontHealthDistrict .org or call the Clermont County Flu Hotline, at (513) 588-5121.

I cannot leave my home so the meals really help. I like the snacks and all of the meals are delicious.
I like the broad menu. Planning my meals [menu selection] is a great activity that I enjoy. There is a large assortment to choose from for each and every meal.
The meals are convenient for me because I am almost blind. I enjoy the wide range of choices.
I am very satisfied with the meals because I can plan a meal menu each week. I haven’t found a meal yet that I didn’t like.
We (husband and wife) are both very pleased with the meals. We are both diabetic and the meals work wonderfully for us. We love the chicken and potato casserole.
I really like the beef meals. The meals are just the right size. I can’t cook but I can use a microwave.

When you invest in stocks, you want their price to go up. But of course, you can’t control the rise and fall of stock prices. However, there is a key element of investing that you can control — the number of shares you own. And in the long run, share ownership may be more important than rising stock prices in determining your long-term investment success. Of course, you might think that the advice of “buy more shares” is easier said than done. After all, not everyone can easily find a lot of extra money to invest. But you don’t need access to vast wealth to increase your share ownership — you just need to consistently reinvest your stock dividends. Just how important are reinvested dividends to wealth accumulation, as compared to capital gains (the increase in stock
prices)? Over the 135-year period from 1871 through 2003, owning stocks and reinvesting the dividends produced 97 percent of all stock market returns, with only 3 percent coming from capital gains, according to a major study done by Dr. Jeremy Siegel, one of the world’s leading researchers on stock market performance. Other studies have also pointed to the importance of dividends as a component of total returns. What are the implications of this disparity between the effectiveness of dividend reinvestment versus that of capital gains? First of all, it suggests that you may not want to spend an undue amount of time and effort in chasing after “hot” stocks, hoping for big capital gains. For one thing, by the time you buy these stocks, they may already be cooling off, but even more importantly, your focus on achieving

large capital gains may not be the best use of your financial resources. Ultimately, the power of dividend reinvestment means, not surprisingly, that you may be able to help yourself if you look for quality dividend-paying stocks — and then reinvest the dividends, month after month and year after year. With just a little research, you can find stocks that have paid — and even increased — dividends for many years in a row. (Keep in mind, though, that not all stocks will pay dividends, and even those that do can reduce or discontinue them at any time. Dividend reinvestment does not ensure a profit or protect against loss.) So, to help boost your share ownership, consider reinvesting the dividends back into the stock, rather than taking them as cash payments. If you do choose to reinvest your dividends, though, you will need to look to other types of investments to provide you with income, assuming you need some income from your portfolio, which may become more necessary during your retirement years. Your financial advisor can help you determine the appropriate investments to help provide this income. But in any case, if you can do without the current income provided by dividends, give careful consideration to reinvesting them. Dividend reinvestment is not a glamorous investment strategy, and it won’t help you “get rich quick,” but it can help you make steady progress toward your longterm financial goals — and that’s a key dividend in itself.
