Leaders saluted at annual banquet Many honored for their contributions to community Sun staff
The Clermont County Chamber of Commerce held the 19th annual Salute to Leaders awards banquet March 13 to honor nonelected individuals who have made significant contributions to their communities. The banquet was held at Holiday Inn Eastgate and featured dinner, followed by an awards program, where individuals were honored by the chamber, local business owners, community leaders and their peers. “Without people like you, our communities would not be how they are,” State Representative Danny Bubp said about the award winners. Township and city awards were presented first to individuals who were selected in their township or city for their leadership and community involvement. “Accept it with honor,” Greg Crowell, president of The Crowell Company, told
winners before awards were given. “It was well deserved and you truly are making a difference.” Township and city award winners included: Louis Moore for Batavia Township, Wayne Cossens for Franklin Township, The Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association for Goshen Township, Elsie Minnick for Jackson Township, Mary Anne Will and Linda Powers for Miami Township, Michael Davis for Monroe Township, Aileen Whitt for Ohio Township, George C. Juilfs for Pierce Township, Marilyn and Mike Fetter for Stonelick Township, The Burke Trust for Tate Township, Stanley Wilfert for Union Township, Brenda and Kent Jones for Washington Township, Paul Ritchey for Wayne Township, Williamsburg Emergency Mission for Williamsburg Township and The Society of St. Vincent dePaul for the city of Milford. Other award winners recognized at the banquet in-

Eastgate Retirement Village breaks ground on rehab center BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff
Eastgate Village owners and staff broke ground March 14 for a rehabilitation facility that will feature a variety of services at their retirement center in Union Township. “We're really proud and
feel fortunate and blessed to add this to Eastgate Village,” Oscar Jarnicki, coowner of the retirement village, said at the groundbreaking ceremony. Jarnicki said the approximately $5.5 million rehabilitation center, which will be called The Atlantes, is designed to be a short-stay fa-
cility that will feel like a medical resort, rather than a hospital. “So many people who have had surgery need the structure of short-term rehab and they don't have it at their own home,” Jarnicki said. See Center, Page 3

witnesses also described a silver van being driven by a female. On Feb. 6, one of the suspects also used a stolen credit card at a local gas station and was recorded on video surveillance. The video revealed images of a suspect as well as a silver Chevrolet Venture minivan, similar to the one witnesses described. February 19, while working with Covington police, investigators were notified that two pillow cases containing jewelry boxes and
miscellaneous documents were discovered at a hotel parking lot in Covington. The male and female suspects were captured again on video surveillance, this time using a stolen ID from Sandusky, Ohio. “Investigators traveled to Sandusky to follow up and met the owner of the stolen ID,” Sheriff Rodenberg said. “She identified Jason Lafountaine, whom she had known while living in Laurel County, Ky.” See Arrests, Page 7

Clermont County investigators assisted in the arrest of two burglars who engaged in a three-state crime spree stealing thousands of dollars worth of items. Jason Lafountain, 23, and Natasha Money, 20, both of Kentucky were arrested in London, Ky., after a home burglary. Prior to the arrest, however, Clermont County police were investigating eight burglaries in Jackson and Stonelick townships. The investigation led to the indictment of Lafountain and Money in Clermont County. Sheriff Tim Rodenberg said eight burglaries were reported in Jackson and Stonelick townships Jan. 9 to Feb. 16. Rodenberg said evidence was found at the scene, and

Among the biggest victims of the economic recession are the once beloved family pets surrendered to shelters as their owners deal with extended joblessness. The U.S. Humane Society estimates 6 to 8 million dogs and cats enter shelters each year – and 3 to 4 million are euthanized. “We don’t have firm numbers but we know anecdotally that the communities that have been hardest hit by the economic downturn are seeing that reflected in their shelter intake numbers,” says Inga Fricke, di-

rector of sheltering issues for the U.S. Humane Society. unfortunately, “And, while the majority of the public is in favor of adopting pets from shelters, very few – usually about 20 percent – actually do. That has recently gone up slightly to the mid-20s.” Here are some tidbits regarding breeds: • Among other dog breeds known for intelligence: Shetland sheepdogs, golden retrievers, Labrador retrievers, poodles, Australian cattle dogs, Papillons and Doberman pinschers. • Bulldogs, beagles and Basset hounds all start with ‘B’ but get much lower grades for smarts. • It’s a myth that mutts have fewer health issues than purebred dogs. Because some breeds have tendencies toward problems such as deafness, blindness
or hip dysplasia, remember, these are genetic issues that are inherited. So if you’re mixed-breed includes some German shepherd, it may also have hip dysplasia (a problem with the joint’s bone structure).

• If you’re in the market for a purebred dog, you have a 25 percent chance of finding one – although maybe not the breed you want – at a shelter. If your heart is set on a specific breed, check your area for a rescue group specializing in that breed. Don’t forget to mark your calendar for Prevention of Animal Cruelty Month, which recognizes the 1866 charter signing of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

The season might be over, but you really do have to raise your glass to all the great entertainment you got from this last football season. Salud to the quarterbacks. Yung sing to the kickers. Prosit to the coaches and managers. Santé to the owners - and to your fellow fans, skal. To your health. Drink and win. Here’s to another great season. Here’s to more points, more kicks, more punts and more goals. And more cheerleaders, please. Just remember that, as Laura Vikmanis (with Amy Sohn) says, “It’s Not About the Pom-Poms.” Perhaps because her older sister took lessons, Laura Vikmanis always loved to dance. She started with ballet at age three, grew up loving the spotlight, and was a naturalborn performer who, like many children then, was obsessed with pop culture; specifically, the movie Grease and its stars. Vikmanis says that she wanted to be sexy some day, to turn heads and to have a man fall in love with her. Alas, she says she was flat-chested, shortlegged, and felt unattractive. Boys often took advantage of her, which lowered her self-esteem. Things became even worse when Vikmanis married a man she barely knew; a man who turned out to be physically and verbally abusive. Her already-low confidence took a dive and by time she was 30 years old, Vikmanis was an overweight, unhappy, isolated stay-at-home mother living far away from her Ohio family. For years, Vikmanis made excuses for her husband until finally, she’d had enough. She filed for divorce, asked for primary custody, pulled up her bootstraps, and started to rebuild her life, her confidence, her health, and a career as a dietitician. Eight years later, she was still putting her life in order when she learned of an opportunity that terrified and intrigued her: tryouts were being held for the Cincinnati Ben-Gals, the cheerleading team that performs at Bengals home games. She’d always loved dance and she’d taught aerobics while living briefly in California. She was in pretty good shape and the rules never mentioned an age limit. But could an almost-40year-old mother find selfconfidence in a teensy orange skirt? The answer is yes, and cheerfully so, as you’ll see in this unique peek at a profession that most of us will never enter, and the woman who’s glad she did. “It’s Not About the Pom-Poms” is not all U Rah Rah, though. Author Laura Vikmanis (with Amy Sohn) writes with blunt honesty about her childhood and her marriage, both with abusers; the inner work she had to do on herself before she did the outer work to get in shape; and the truth about what it’s like in the

The Sunday Sun - March 25, 2012 - Page 5
Heartworms are blood parasites that are transmitted by mosquitoes in much the same way malaria is spread in people. The adult worms can be 10 to 14 inches long and live inside the heart and pulmonary arteries. They cause a restriction in blood flow leading to lung disease and congestive heart failure. Heartworm disease is diagnosed in all 50 United States, with endemic areas along the Atlantic and Gulf coast and along the Mississippi river. Treatment of infection can be relatively straightforward if the disease is caught very early, or it can be very risky if the patient has advanced symptoms. Preventive medication is the safest and easiest way to avoid heartworm infection. Adult heartworms bear live young called microfilariae. They circulate in the bloodstream where they are picked up by mosquitoes taking a blood meal from the infected animal. Microfilariae can be seen in whole blood under the microscope; however, their numbers are dependent on the number of mating pairs of adults in the heart. A negative test for microfilariae does not mean that the animal does not have heartworms. An occult heartworm infection is one where no microfilariae are present. Microfilariae cannot develop into adult worms without first living inside the salivary glands of the mosquito and then being transmitted back into a host animal. Once the host is infected, over the next 6 months, they will migrate through tissue to reach the pulmonary arteries and the right side of The adult the heart. worms may live up to 7 years inside the infected animal.
DR. DAN MEAKIN ALL CREATURES ANIMAL HOSPITAL
Dogs infected with heartworms may at first exhibit very mild and intermittent symptoms of the disease. As more adult worms invade the heart and pulmonary arteries, and as the disease progresses, coughing, exercise intolerance, inappetence (refusal to eat), and lethargy will become more and more persistent. It is common for an infected dog to have more than 30 adult worms inside the heart. Eventually, an untreated dog will succumb to heart failure. Cats are aberrant hosts of heartworms, meaning that the parasite does not typically infect them, but for some reason infection has occurred. Immunosuppressed cats, such as those with Feline Leukemia, may be more susceptible to heartworms. Symptoms in cats are sometimes mistaken for other feline respiratory diseases such as asthma. Coughing, gagging, rapid breathing, open-mouth and weight loss are common symptoms. In many cases, cats may have fewer than 3 adult heartworms that cause debilitating disease. The treatment for heartworm disease is currently only approved for use in dogs. There is no protocol for the treatment of cats other than supportive care. Cats may be prescribed bronchodilators and corticosteroids to control symptoms. Before treatment, a blood chemistry panel is performed to check for kidney and liver problems that may delay or preclude the use of an adulticide, the drug that kills adult
heartworms. Also chest xrays are taken to assess changes in the lungs, vessels, and heart. Severity of the changes and symptoms determines whether a single treatment or a split treatment will be used to kill the adult worms. The only drug approved is called melarsomine. It is an organically bound arsenical compound that is given by injection in the lumbar muscles of the back. One injection is administered, followed by a second one 24 hours later if the patient tolerates the medication well. In a split treatment, the dog is given the first injection followed by the series of two injections 4 to 6 weeks later. In either case, the dog must be kept confined for several weeks after the injecto avoid tions complications from treatment. Complications can include respiratory distress, coughing up blood, liver or kidney inflammation, lethargy, inappetence (refusal to eat), vomiting, and diarrhea. During the treatment, the doctor may prescribe an antibiotic like doxycycline and an NSAID for pain, since the patient’s back may be sore after the deep muscle injections. Medications for other specific symptoms may also be needed. Prevention is the best way to avoid heartworm disease and the risk involved with treatment (not to mention the expense). There are a number of safe preventive heartworm medications that your veterinarian can prescribe for your pet.

remove a number of pollutants.” Storm water retention ponds keep waterways safe. “Because rain can’t go through roads, driveways, and buildings, it has no choice but to runoff to areas of lower elevation, washing excess fertilizer and other pollutants into waterways. Retention ponds in communities serve a valuable purpose in containing the runoff, but must be maintained properly,” said Jake Hahn with the Clermont SWCD. “Since ponds are not a common natural landscape feature in our area, they need additional maintenance and care to function properly and meet the landowners’ objectives,” added Hahn. He recommends talking with your neighborhood Home Owners Association. “Encourage everyone that lives in your community to get a better understanding of the purpose and maintenance of community retention ponds,” he said.

Safe Driving is a Concern for Senior Citizens AARP Safe Driving Classes may reduce insurance
B R O A D S H E E T E V E N
As people get older they sometimes worry that they might not be good drivers any more. They may be afraid to get out and go where they need to go.
At the same time, older adults are concerned about preserving their independence, and driving is an important part of that. One way to help assure them
of their driving skills is through the Driver Program Safety developed by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP). AARP has devel-
Many insurance companies offer a discount on auto insurance for seniors that attend the AARP Safe Driving class.
Mark Eppler of Milford is enrolled in the next AARP Safe Driving Class hosted by Clermont Senior Services. He says, “Driving skill should never be taken for granted. Everyone can benefit from a brush up.”
oped a driver improvement course that reviews the rules of the road, demonstrates accident prevention and shows how to overcome the effects of aging on driving skills. The AARP Driver Safety Program, begun in 1979, was the first nationwide, comprehensive program designed especially for older drivers. The one day course focuses on compensating for physical and perceptual skills related to drivers age 55 and older. In some cases, attending this course may reduce annual automobile insurance The premiums. course must be repeated every three years to continue the discount. The courses are taught by older adults trained by AARP. The course covers many facets of driving, including traffic intersection vehicle safety, vision and hearing, and adverse driving conditions. AARP promises that everyone will come away with five new things they’ve learned. The classroom course is hosted by Clermont Senior Services. No actual driving is done. The

is $12.00 and does not include lunch. Participants can bring their own lunch, or there are plenty of fast food restaurants in the area. For more information about the program or to make reservations, call Union Township at 947-7333.
15 safe driving tips for senior citizens The ability to drive is an important element in maintaining one’s independence, but as we age, it may get more challenging. There are safe driving tips that older adults can use to drive safely. In fact, these tips really apply to anyone. • Avoid driving at night if you have trouble with your vision, and don’t tint your windows. • Avoid driving during periods of high traffic, typically during morning, lunch, and evening commute times. • Keep your windshield, headlights, and mirror clean to improve visibility. • Raise your seat high enough so you have a clear view of the road. Sit on a small pillow if necessary. • Limit distracting noise inside the vehicle. This includes the radio and conversations with passengers and use of cell phones. • Watch for flashing lights of emergency vehicles if you
have difficulty hearing. Stay alert. • Keep a safe distance between you and the car ahead so you have ample time to brake safely if necessary. • Get periodic vision and hearing tests. • Take a defensive course driving offered through the AARP or the A m e r i c a n A u t o m o b i l e Association. Some insurance policies may offer price discounts when individtake these uals courses. • Carefully read medication labels to see if they may impair driving skills. • Don’t drive if you’re feeling tired, lightheaded, or stressed. • Avoid driving during inclement weather. • Always wear your seat belt. • Keep your headlights on at all times. • Talk with your doctor if you have concerns about continuing to drive.

Arrests: Two taken into custody Continued from page 1 Investigators then determined Jason Lafountain and Natasha Money had been arrested a day earlier in London after another burglary. An executed search warrant at their rental home in Lexington Ky. revealed additional stolen items from a Clermont County home. “Additional search warrants were executed that resulted in the recovery of many stolen items belonging to individuals living in Clermont County,” Chief Deputy Rick Combs said.
“Our investigative teams again traveled to Kentucky counties and assisted in the arrest of Natasha Money, who had been released by Kentucky authorities.” According to Combs, both suspects are currently in jail in Kentucky and have warrants filed in both Kentucky and Tennessee. “Currently this is a threestate crime spree, where dozens of burglaries were committed in part to sustain a drug habit,” Combs said. Combs said it is reported that more than $80,000 in money, possessions and damages were stolen or re-

He said investigators met with home owners who were victims of the burglaries March 1, and they were able to assist in identifying property found as a result of the search warrants. Lafountain and Money were indicted by a Clermont County Grand Jury March 14 on eight counts of burglary and three counts of grand theft of a firearm in the county. “No one in Clermont County was injured due to the burglaries,” Combs said.

Our area is home to more than 20 golf courses and golfing centers open to both the public as well as those looking for a more private experience. There are even some courses in the area that have hosted professional events as well as top tier amateur events. Whenever you go out looking to play some golf, there are a few tips that you should always adhere to. Don’t worry if you’re playing with someone whom you believe to be better than you or worse than you, remember, you are always playing against the course first and foremost.
On the Tee:
There are a few things you’ll want to remember when you are getting ready to tee off on a hole. First of all, you want to take into account all of the surroundings; trees, water hazards, sand bunkers and of course, the fairway. You often hear professionals talk about finding a spot that they are aiming at. You should do that to. Stand behind your ball and pick a spot in the distance and think about swinging out towards that spot. Once you have your spot lined up, approach and address the ball. An easy rule of thumb is that the bigger the club (i.e. driver, 3wood, 5-wood) the closer the ball should be lined up with the inside of your left foot, if you are righthanded (off of your right foot if you are left-handed). That means if you are hitting a driver, you should be able to draw an imaginary line from the ball to the inside of your left foot. As the club gets smaller, you should

move the ball more to the center of your stance. Finally, and this goes for every shot, commit to the shot you want to hit. If you are trying to shape the ball, commit to it. If you’re trying to get the ball to fly straight, commit to it. Regardless of how good or bad you are playing, for the best results, commit to your shot and execute. If all goes according to plan, you’ll find your ball…
In the fairway:
If you’ve made it to the fairway, good job! The first part of the job is done. You’ve picked a spot, a swing, committed to it and executed it. The next step is making a few adjustments to that driver swing to make it work for your shorter irons. From here, you’re going to be more interested in how far you are from the hole. Most courses had sprinkler heads with yardage on them or at least some stakes that signify 200, 150 and 100 yards away from the green. Choose your club accordingly. The best way to understand your distances is to go to a driving range and practice hitting balls. Once you have your yardage,, you’re ready to hit your next shot. Your pre-shot routine should always be the same
when hitting full shots. Stand behind the ball, pick a spot in the distance. It may be a tree limb behind the green if the pin is in a place you don’t feel comfortable going after. Once you have your spot picked, approach and address the ball. Once again, depending on the length of the club, position the ball somewhere between the middle and front foot of your stance. Commit to a shot type, make a solid swing concentrating on making contact with the ball before the ground. Hopefully, from there, you find yourself…
On the green:
The short game (shots around the green) are where you accumulate most of your strokes over a round of golf. The saying is true, “drive for show, putt for dough.” Once on the putting surface there are a few keys to being a consistent putter. You have to remember what Jack Nicklaus once said: “Not all good putts go in.” Putting is a very mental part of the golf game and if you lose your confidence on the green, you’ll see your scores skyrocket. Not every putt you hit will go in, but that’s okay, just make sure your close. The most important
aspect of a putt is speed, not the read. When you’re trying to read how a putt will break to the hole, it’s seldom that you are completely fooled by the contours of the green, so even if your read is off just a bit, you won’t have far to go after your putt stops rolling. Similar to your full swings, you want to pick a spot that you believe to be the apex of the line of your putt. This will give you a better idea to visualize the putt going in. Once you pick that spot, concentrate on the speed you must hit the ball for it to reach that apex and then break towards to hole. Finally, account for more break than you actually think is there. The reason for that is that a putt coming in towards the top of the cup has the chance to slow down and drop in, while one on the low side of the hole has no chance to pick up more speed and move up a hill towards the hole. Finally, approach and address the putt. You’ve already done all the work to understand the contours of the green, how the putt will break and how hard to putt it. All that’s left to do is trust it. Trust the work you’ve put in, commit to your stroke and hit the putt with supreme confidence.

Golf Etiquette For most golf is a game that is played to be enjoyed. It is purpose is enjoyment, relaxation and sociability. In order to make every golfers day better overall it is important that all golfers become familiar with the non written rules of the game. These rules govern the behavior of oneself while playing any given golf course. Etiquette does not reflect ones score but rather (and probably more importantly) how others perceive you on the course and eventually how willing others will be to play with you. Basically etiquette boils down to respecting the golfers you're playing with and those who are playing behind you.
Golf Carts 1. Drive carts with care. 2. Never make sharp turns that may damage grass. 3. Stay out of bunkers and off of grass mounds. 4. Keep well away from tee decks and greens (this means at least 15yrds not 15 feet). 5. Stay on cart path
if possible and convenient. 6. Obey course rules for carts, such as 90degree rule or cart path only. 7. Don't drink and drive while on the course. 8. Never have more than two golfers on a single cart. 9. Don't drive carts while other in your group are hitting.
On the Green The green surface is likely the most etiquette sensitive area on the golf course. There are a few practices that the average golfer must be aware of in order to maintain the respect courtesy of fellow players. Perhaps the most important involves when a golfer walks in relation to others golf balls and the hole. When walking onto a green surface it is imperative that every golfer takes note of the location of every golf ball on the green in order to make sure that he/she does not walk on an area of grass that a fellow golfer will be putting their next putt. Whenever possible walk around the out-

side of the ball and not over the line along which a ball will soon be travelling. This means whenever it is possible without wasting time avoid large stepping or jumping over the line when a ball might be travelling. The reason for this is twofold. First one must realize that you have not actually looked at the line of the players ball and you don't really know if they will be dealing with a one, two or five foot break, therefor you could very well large step yourself directly along the players line. Second when a golfer large steps or jumps over the another's line even if he/she has successfully avoided stepping along the other players line, the force of the foot upon the ground is at least doubled in comparison to that of the force of a regular walking step. This can cause involuntary damage to the green or at least create a much larger foot impression on the green which a player latter on in the day may have to putt over. Source: TheGolfExpert.com

Maple, owned by Shannon and Gretchen Behimer from Loveland is the 2012 Clermont County Humane Society Poster Pooch. The 3-year-old yellow Labrador retriever beat out almost 100 other county dogs for the honor of representing the Humane Society in promoting the
importance of dog licensing. In her nomination form, her owners said, “Maple was adopted through a shelter. She was scared at first, but has become happy and safe in her forever home.” Maple and other contest award winners were intro-
duced during a ceremony at the Eastgate Petsmart on Saturday, March 3. The second place winner is Oscar, owned by Kimberly Beuke and Sophie Beuke from Owensville. The 9-month-old basset hound/boxer mix was rescued from living in the back of a pick-up truck, where he and his siblings were born. His owners said, “Oscar has given us great joy and filled out hearts with love after losing our 14-year-old dog.” The third place winner is Big Dog, owned by Carol Gerlach from Milford. “Big Dog came into our lives as a stray while we Visit
