Clermont to digitize historical journals Books dating to 1817 will be scanned

Bethel adopts application guidelines Event planners must apply in advance

BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff

BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Clermont County’s court history is in the process of being preserved one book at a time at the Clermont County Records Management Division office in Batavia. The books are bound common pleas records that date back to 1817, and Barb Brown, records manager, said the historical records are more than just old books, they have stories. “We have people from all over the US come look at the books,” Brown said. “We’re just going to make it easier for them using this grant.” The records division received the $2,467 grant to digitize the records from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, facilitated by the Ohio Historical Records Advisory Board, and it was approved by commissioners April 6. “This is our most vital project to address,” Brown said. “If we were to lose this volume of journals it would be next to impossible to locate microfilms.” Brown and her administrative support technicians, Heather Jefferson and Tracy Fischer, will be completing most of the project themselves. The process involves carefully unbinding each of the 147 books, scanning all of the pages onto the computer and then rebinding the books to be put in an archival box. Although the books are stored in a climate controlled

environment, the age of the books has left them in delicate condition. Most of the text in the books is handwritten and the leather covers and parchment-like pages make it hard for people to copy things from the older books without causing damage. “The whole point is to preserve and protect the books,” Brown said. Once the pages of the books are scanned, they will be loaded onto a database that will be digitally available at the records office as well as at the courthouse, so clerks can also have access. Brown said the records will be searchable, and eventually available

online. The journals contain criminal appearance information, divorce records and any other common pleas information. “It is going to be a very neat process,” said Jefferson. “And it’s going to save a lot of time for the common pleas employees.” Brown said the scanned records will also be microfilmed. Microfilm is like a large, flat version of camera film. It holds tiny images of the scanned record pages that can be viewed and printed using special equipment. One copy of the microfilm will be See Records, Page 3

Three-day festival to celebrate village of Felicity’s anniversary Festivities will run May 13 - 15; participants still being sought BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff

The village of Felicity is celebrating its 175th anniversary this year, and not without activities and entertainment spanning three consecutive days. The celebration, put together by Franklin Historical Society, village council and community members, will held be May 13-15, and each day will be filled with a variety of entertainment, activities

and educational opportunities. “It’s the biggest event I’ve heard of for a little town,” said Kelly Ausman co-chair of the planning committee. “But we’re doing it in style.” Although the town is small, its history is vast. The Clermont County commissioners honored the town’s anniversary at their regular session April 20. Commissioner Ed Humphrey said Felicity was a town during the earliest days of settlement and served as a

popular gateway. The Bullskin Trail, now known as State Route 133, passed through the town and is recognized by historians as the most utilized north-south trail in Ohio by the Native Americans. Felicity was also part of the Underground Railroad. Escaped slaves used the trail through Felicity and stayed in houses that still exist in the town. The Underground Railroad Conference will be held in Clermont County this year and visitors will stop at some of the sites in Felicity. Guests at the 175th anniversary celebration will get to revisit some of this history and more over the three days.

Bethel Village Council members adopted a special events planning guide and application April 25 for any organization or individual wishing to host an event in the village. “Events from here on out would have to go through the process,” said Travis Dotson, village administrator. “There is a committee set up to evaluate the application as it comes through.” The application, due 90 days prior to the event, requires event planners to list the type of event, schedule of event, anticipated attendance and additional details of the event. Dotson said once the application is reviewed, event planners will meet with the committee to raise any questions and move forward. “It will help the person planning the event because it will give them a list of things they need to make sure are taken care of,” Dotson said. “It protects us to make sure all the bases are covered and all the issues of safety are addressed.” The ordinance also included a special events planning guide to help event planners know if they need a special event permit. Athletic events, block parties, street fairs, concerts and farmers’ markets all require permits, while funeral processions and private social See Bethel, Page 3

Issues to be decided in May 3 special election New Richmond, two school districts to be on ballot STAFF REPORT Several levies will be decided on by voters in a special election to be held May 3 in Clermont County. Batavia, West Clermont, Loveland, and Little Miami local school districts and the village of New Richmond are all included in the election. Citizens in the Batavia Local School District will vote on adding an additional tax levy for the purpose of current expenses. The levy, not to exceed 6.9 mills, or $0.69 for each $100 of valuation, would begin in 2011 and

would be first due in 2012. West Clermont School District citizens will vote to add an additional tax for the purpose of avoiding an operation deficit. The levy would amount to 7.9 mills, or $0.79 for each $100 of valuation for a period of 10 years, commencing in 2011 and first due in 2012. New Richmond citizens will vote to renew the tax benefit for the village of New Richmond, for the purpose of current expenses.

Ausman said the celebration will include music, tours, reenactors, dances, food, arts and crafts, activities for children, and a different erathemed parade each day. One of the highlights will be the historical walking tour, where guides will lead guests through the town and make stops to hear historical tales from re-enactors. Ausman said the tour will be about 90 minutes long, and transportation is available for those who can’t walk. Several bands will be featured during the three days including Landon Williams and The Stone Country Band,

There will be several contests including a corn hole tournament, a baby pageant, baby olympics and a baking contest. “If you've never been to Felicity, or it's been a long time, come out,” Ausman said. “Get to know us and we will welcome you into our town. Everyone is always taken aback by how pretty it is out here.” The celebration will begin at 10 a.m. each day and

Ausman said all activities will be free except for the country concert Friday night and the 50s and 60s dance Saturday night, both will cost $5, but are also free if guests dress in costume. The planning committee is still looking for parade participants, vendors, and people to submit historical items for display. They are also looking for residents to submit their stories about growing up in Felicity, which are being compiled for a book. Visit www.felicity175.com for the schedule and more details.

Bethel: New process Continued from page 1 events held in Burke Park do not. “When the 5k came up earlier his spring it was decided that we needed to have something more comprehensive in place that would give the person planning a guideline,” Dotson said. Dotson said prior to the ordinance, residents interested in holding a special event in the village just had to come before council and ask permission. After that, he said they pretty much did whatever they wanted.

At the April 11 council meeting members discussed conflicts with a 5k race being held that weekend that brought up safety concerns. Dotson said he’s been working on the application for about two months to prevent those situations. “We’re just having more and more events like this being requested,” Dotson said. “There was really no checklist or way to be fair to everyone. This allows that to happen and make sure there is a consistency in policy.”

Mother’s Day will soon be here. If you’re a mother, you will (hopefully) receive thoughtful cards and gifts. But there’s one present you may eventually want to give yourself, and it’s a gift that truly does keep on giving: a strategy for your retirement. Of course, it’s important for everyone to build adequate financial resources for retirement — but the challenge is even greater for women. Largely due to family responsibilities, women spend, on average, 12 years less in the workforce than men, according to the Women’s Institute for a Secure Retirement. Less time in the workforce equates to lost earnings, missed promotions, smaller and fewer raises and reduced retirement plan benefits. In fact, men have, on average, about $91,000 in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), including all IRA types and the amounts rolled over from other retirement accounts into

which can be structured to provide you with regular payments for the rest of your life. And this lifetime income source is especially important to women, who, at age 65, can expect to live, on average, almost 20 more years, compared to slightly over 17 for men of the same age, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As a mother, you willingly spend a great deal of time and effort on your children. But it’s important to also think about yourself and your future, so review your strategy for retirement with your financial advisor, and take the actions needed to help make sure you can enjoy all the Mother’s Days of your life in the comfort you deserve.

you’ve had your account at least five years and you don’t start taking withdrawals until you’re 59-1/2. So make it a priority to “max out” on your IRA each year. In 2011, you can put in up to $5,000 to a traditional or Roth IRA, or $6,000 if you’re 50 or older. • Boost your 401(k) contributions. Put in as much as you can afford to your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. At the very least, contribute enough to earn your employer’s match, if one is offered. (In 2011, you can put in up to $16,500, or $22,000 if you’re 50 or older.) Your earnings have the opportunity to grow taxdeferred and you have a range of investment options, so your 401(k) or other retirement plan can be an effective, flexible way to put money away for the future. • Invest in an annuity. If you’ve reached the contribution limits of your IRA and 401(k), you may want to consider purchasing an annuity,

IRAs, compared to just $51,000 for women, according to a recent report issued by the Employee Benefit Research Institute. Whether you’re married, divorced, widowed or single, you’ll want to build financial resources of your own and be prepared to manage your finances during your retirement years. You’ll be helping yourself, and, by becoming financially independent, you’ll also avoid the possibility of depending on your grown children for support. To help ensure a financially secure retirement, consider these ideas: • Fully fund your IRA each year. As the numbers above show, women are way behind men when it comes to funding their IRAs. And IRAs, with their tax advantages, are great retirement-savings vehicles. A traditional IRA have the potential to grow on a tax-deferred basis, while Roth IRAs have the potential to grow tax-free, provided

senior fishing license. A oneday fishing license is also available for $11, an amount that later can be applied toward the cost of an annual fishing license. Fishing licenses are available at bait and tackle stores, outdoor outfitters, major department stores, as well as on the Internet at wildohio.com. Ohio’s Free Fishing Days were established in 1993 to promote fishing and allow Ohioans to experience fishing before buying a license. The offer is open to Ohio residents, and extends to all public waters including Lake Erie and the Ohio River. An estimated 1.3 million people fish each year in Ohio. Great fishing exists around the state and throughout the year. In late winter and early spring, anglers reel in excellent catches of steelhead trout and walleye from northern Ohio streams. Spring also means great saugeye and crappie fishing.

During the summer months, the fishing heats up on Lake Erie for yellow perch, walleye, and smallmouth bass, while anglers on the Ohio River enjoy excellent striped bass fishing. The Free Fishing Free Days weekend offers Ohioans of all ages the chance to experience the fun of fishing. For anyone taking a young angler, there’s nothing more rewarding than teaching a kid to fish. Here are some helpful tips: • Keep it simple. Consider the child’s age and skill level. If this is their first time, shore fishing is recommended. • Kids like to catch fish. The size of fish doesn’t matter to kids. But catching a fish—any fish—does. Choose a pond, lake or stream where they will easily be able to catch a few fish. • Use simple tackle. A good rod and reel for kids costs between $15 and $30.

A spin-cast reel is easy to use and, after a few practice casts, kids usually have mastered it. • Bring along a camera. Children love to show off pictures of their “big catch.” Share your fishing photos at wildohio.com. • Keep the trip fun-and short. Let the child have a good time, even if it means taking a break. Take time out to explore and enjoy the time together. • Be patient. Plan on spending some time untangling lines, baiting hooks, landing fish, and taking pictures of big smiles and wiggling fish. By concentrating all your attention on your young angler, you’ll likely be developing a fishing buddy for a lifetime. ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR Web site at www.ohiodnr.com.

Ohioans are encouraged to take advantage of “Free Fishing Days” on May 7 and 8 and experience the great fishing Ohio has to offer, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Wildlife. For these two days only, Ohio anglers may fish in any of the state’s public waters without having to buy a fishing license. During the rest of the year, anglers 16 years of age and older are required to have a valid fishing license to take fish, frogs or turtles from Ohio waters. An Ohio fishing license is one of the best recreation bargains available, costing only $19 a year for residents. Ohio residents born on or before Dec. 31, 1937 can obtain a free fishing license at any license vendor. Residents age 66 and older who were born on or after Jan. 1, 1938 are eligible to obtain a reduced cost ($10)

The best way to fertilize is to mix the fertilizer with the soil when you plant. This has a “timed-release” effect because the roots find the food as the plant grows. It helps the roots spread quickly. For established plantings you should sprinkle powdered fertilizers generously around your plants before mulching. This way the fertilizer doesn’t have to find its way through the mulch to get to the roots. Plants don’t really begin to feed until the soil warms up. This is why timed-release powdered fertilizers work better for spring feeding. They are stable and will remain in the soil until the plant uses them, while liquid fertilizers are washed away. Modern gardeners are hungry for a return to traditional gardening methods, like building garden soil with organic compost and fertilizers. Petro-chemical based fertilizers are widely believed to weaken soils over time, defeating the natural process of renewal that makes good garden soils and healthy vegetables. For one thing, petrochemicals don’t do anything to improve soil texture. Good soil needs “looseners” like compost and peat moss, and turning the soil to mix it with air. For another, well-rounded nutrition depends on living organisms and trace mineral elements, neither of which can be found in a bag of 12-12-12 or a bottle of Miracle-Gro. Lots of people ask us for

Right now is the best time to apply powdered fertilizers around all your sleeping landscape plants. (GoodSeed Farm photo)

“Miracle Gro” and we carry it in our store. But when we sell it we always think of those I.V. drip bags in the hospital, “feeding” you through a tube into your arm. It will keep you alive but it’s not a balanced diet. For a real-life demonstration of this compare a hydroponically grown hothouse tomato with one from an organic garden. Hydroponic tomatoes get a liquid diet similar to Miracle-Gro. Liquid fertilizers are useful for fertilizing hanging baskets, window boxes and planters where potting soil is used and roots are confined in a small pot. Professional growers use a weak solution of fertilizer in their irrigation water to encourage rapid growth. Another good use of liquid formulas is force-feeding distressed plants, such as Azaleas that aren’t well established and can’t absorb enough food from the soil. We have Miracle Gro AzaleaCamellia (also called Miracid) made just for this. Think twice before you your plants on a liquid diet.

You probably wouldn’t like it for yourself! In our own gardens we use lots of Holly Tone, Plant Tone, Rose Tone and Bulb Tone by Espoma Organics. These are balanced meals containing lots of wholesome natural ingredients like gypsum, greensand and bone meal to help break up clay soil. They also contain Micorrhizae, soil microorganisms that help your plants digest fertilizer and trace minerals. Espoma is a modern version of the old-fashioned fertilizer mill; a factory where ground-up ingredients like bone meal, cottonseed meal and other components are blended into powdered fertilizers that build and replenish tired soils. We call Espoma fertilizers the “magic dust.” Steve Boehme is the owner of GoodSeed Nursery & Landscape, located on Old State Route 32 three miles west of Peebles.
