June in Olde Williamsburgh was a fun-packed weekend Festival featured activities and entertainment BY KRISTIN BENDARSKI Sun staff
June in Olde Williamsburgh attracted big crowds June 1-3 with a variety of activities and entertainment for people of all ages. “From the parade on Friday to the fireworks on Saturday night and the car show on Sunday, what more could you ask for?” Mayor Mary Ann Lefker, said about the event. “We probably had a record crowd on Saturday.” The annual festival kicked off with the parade June 1 and featured carnival rides, games, live musical entertainment, fireworks, a 5k run, a cornhole tournament, vendors, food booths, a car show and more.
“We love it,” Tim Pierce, of Mt. Orab, said about the festival. “We love the car show, they have got a lot of cars.” A slew of flashy cars were on display for the car show on Sunday and residents were able to take a look at the different cars and enjoy the festival. “I do it every year,” Geoffrey Rutherford, a Bethel resident, said about participating in the car show. “I grew up around here.” Many people said they return to Williamsburg for the festival each year. “I am from the town and I get to see people I went to school with,” Julie Kretten, of Williamsburg, said. Kretten said it is also nice because she can bring her children and they have a blast riding the rides and playing games. “It truly is a homecoming event for the entire community,” Lefker said about the festival.

Bethel bank donates to ALB Cooperative Village residents may add to the $5,000 donation BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff
Bethel Community Savings Bank board members approved a donation to the Asian Longhorned Beetle Citizens’ Cooperative May 24 with potential for their donation to reach $10,000. The bank donated $5,000 to the organization's legal defense fund and agreed to match donations that the cooperative receives from
citizens up to an additional $5,000. The Asian Longhorned Beetle Citizens' Cooperative is a grassroots organization dedicated to preserving non-infested host trees in the community. “The donation and match is enormous,” Bill Skvarla, a member of the cooperative and owner of Harmony Hill Vineyards in Bethel, said. “This is what Community Savings Bank is all
about.” John Essen, president of the bank, and Jim Smith, board of directors member, presented the initial check of $5,000 to Skvarla May 31. “We are the community bank in Bethel and this is our community,” Smith said. “We really care what is happening with the Asian longhorned beetle.” Smith said if non-infested host trees are removed from the community it could look become a tree-less wasteland.

one else.” Roy said the reason he admires Bare is because he is a “normal pants-wearing, air-breathing human being” that has made a difference without looking for recognition or anything in return. “These types of people are the types of people that mean something to me,” Roy said. After being presented with several gifts, certificates and plaques, Bare talked about his experience at the Veterans' Service Commission. “This is overwhelming,” Bare said about being recognized. He took a moment to thank everyone for coming to his retirement party and also thanked those who have worked with him the past five years. Bare, Page 3

The office of the Clermont County Veterans' Service Commission was packed full May 31 as dozens of community leaders and county employees stopped by to honor Danny Bare for his hard work and dedication. Bare retired from his position as executive director of the commission after five and a half years. Bare served in the military during the Vietnam War and earned a Purple Heart, Bronze Star and Army Commendation Medal for Valor. When he returned home from the war, Bare worked
at First National Bank and then became involved with public service as a Batavia Township trustee, director of the board of elections and municipal court bailiff before being selected as executive director of the Veterans' Service Commission. “Five years ago, we needed to make a quantum leap,” Cliff Riley, vice president of the commission, said. “We did a national search, and out of all the people we interviewed, Dan, our local guy, was the one” Riley said Bare shocked the entire office with his leadership and dedication to local veterans. “He brought his heart to the table and he is for the
veterans 24-7,” Bob Derr, president of the commission, said. “We could not have wound up with a better person to do this job.” Several government officials also thanked Bare for his contributions to the Veterans' Service Commission including Commissioner Bob Proud, Batavia Township Trustee Randy Perry, Teresa Lewis representing Congresswoman Jean Schmidt and State Representative Danny Bubp. “We are sad to have to do this, but this is an honor as well,” Proud said about Bare's retirement. In addition to elected officials, a Vietnam War veteran also requested to speak during the ceremony. “Mr. Bare is one of my heroes,” James Roy, of Beechmont, said. “He has done more for veterans in Clermont County than any-

Ohio EPA will collect water quality and biological samples in the East Fork Little Miami watershed to gather information that will be part of a plan to maintain and, where necessary, restore water quality of the river and its tributaries. Most of the sampling will be conducted through October 2012. Additional work will be conducted through summer 2013. The East Fork Little Miami watershed is located primarily in Clermont and Brown counties with additional portions in Clinton, Highland, Warren and Hamilton counties. The sampling will reveal which pollutants are present in the water and the condition of aquatic life in the steam and its tributaries. This data will give Ohio EPA a picture of where the
water is healthy and where to focus work with stakeholders to find solutions for polluted waters. The federal Clean Water Act requires a water quality plan, called a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), to be developed and implemented for water impaired by pollution. A TMDL is the maximum amount of pollutants a creek or river can receive on a daily basis without violating water quality standards. If a TMDL is required to be developed, stakeholders will have the opportunity to comment on, and make use of data from, the final report. Grant money that is available on a competitive basis to address polluted water is predicated on a completed TMDL and a
watershed action plan formulated by local stakeholders that specifically addresses pollutants and polluted waters identified in the TMDL. Sampling locations are generally chosen upstream and downstream from sewage treatment plants, industrial discharges, principal tributaries and streams where known or suspected sources of pollution occur. Samples will be collected from the same sites a number of times. Ohio EPA employees all carry photo identification and will request permission from private landowners if access to their property is needed. Interested citizens can view the study plan and find general information about stream monitoring on the web.

“Those five men are all veterans and we are all on the same page immediately,” Bare said about the board. “They have been doing this longer than I have and the real leadership starts with a good board.” Bare also thanked the employees who allowed him to be a leader. “They make it happen,” Bare said. “They are the best trained team in the state. They allowed me to lead.” Bare said he has always believed in leading by example, and has strived to do so since his days in the military. Bare talked about a search and destroy mission he was on 44 years ago during the Vietnam War. He said he survived an attack where he was shot and many of his comrades, including two of his buddies,
were killed. “I came home for a purpose,” Bare said. Bare said he remembers not long after he arrived back in Batavia, a man knocked on his door and asked if he needed anything now that he had returned home from the war. “I know how much it meant first hand,” Bare said about veterans' services. “That's why I took it, take it and will always take it very serious.” Bare said now that he is retiring he plans to spend time with his family, including his grandchildren, ride his motorcycle and learn how to play golf. Derr said the board will begin the process of selecting a new executive director at their next board meeting. He said the new director could be promoted from within or they could open the position up to outside candidates.

Cincinnati Polo Club enjoying a revitalization BY CHRIS CHANEY Sun staff
The Cincinnati Polo Club has enjoyed a renaissance of sorts over the past few years as a new guard of leadership has brought a sport once thought to be only for the upper-class elite to the masses. “It’s an attractive sport for people who like riding horses,” Rev. Torie Front, the secretary of the club, said. “It should be attractive to anyone who is at all competitive because it’s a very competitive sport and you do not need to be rich to play.” Torie’s husband, Vince, echoed his wife’s sentiments about the misconception that polo is only played by the rich elite faction of society. “It’s actually more costeffective than people think it is. (Polo) has that image of the rich and elite who get all the press,” he said. “What our club is trying to show people is that (the game) is not all that way. Polo was in the Olympics in the 1930s and 40s because it was such a popular sport.” Polo is a game played on horseback featuring four mounted players who try to score on an opponent using a high-impact plastic ball using a wooden mallet. “It’s a very fast-paced game,” Vince Front said. “It is a team sport - it’s not just one person running up and down the field hitting a ball - there are strategies involved. It’s likened to hockey on horseback because you’re actually allowed to bump horses into other horses as long as you do it in a safe manner. “It’s a physical sport and it’s a mentally challenging sport from the team aspect and it’s a great way to stay in shape.” Polo has sometimes been called “The Sport of Kings,” which has added to the stigma that only the uber rich can play the sport, but the Cincinnati Polo Club is doing their best to show locals that the sport is anything but. What makes the Cincinnati Polo Club so appealing is the people that make up the club. Members come from all different walks of life and polo playing experience, but the constant when talking to the different members is the friendship and generosity among those involved. “People are so helpful in getting other people started in the sport,” Rev. Front said. “The people in Cincinnati are very friendly and we get together socially and we did a survey of club members asking why do you play polo and every person answered because it’s fun and I enjoy it.” Along with the generosity of the people involved, the global polo community is something that Vince said could draw people to the sport. “It’s a great network of people,” he said. “It’s a tight network of people. It’s not just horse people. If you walk up to a polo person and say I play polo, you’re a member of the family.” The Club is always looking for new members to add to their family. Last year,
the Club held a youth clinic in the spring geared towards getting kids interested in polo. Three kids have since joined the Club as well as one of the fathers of the new members. The Club will hold another clinic later this month on June 23 at Wilshire Farms in Goshen, the Club’s home field. The
and adults and will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The cost is $50 per participant or $35 if you bring your own horse. Interested parties should register by June 9 by e-mailing v&vfarms@gmail.com or calling (513) 456-6113. For more information on the club, visit their website at cincinnatipoloclub.com.

THE SUNDAY SUN THE CLERMONT SUN THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS www.clermontsun.com
Steve Douglas - "My Three Sons": One of the longer-running situation comedies of the era, the show about a widower raising triplet sons aired from 1960 to 1972. In an era when single fatherhood wasn't publicized, Douglas showed viewers how this father could step up to the plate as a single dad and do a good job at maintaining a stable household. Frank Costanza - "Seinfeld": The show about nothing gave birth to one of television's most memorable supporting players. Frank Costanza was the outspoken, boarish and overly serious father to Jerry's friend George. Eternally high-strung, Frank yelled more than he spoke and routinely butted heads with equally dysfunctional wife Estelle. Fans of Frank Costanza may have enjoyed a similarly quirky character in Arthur Spooner (also played by Jerry Stiller) on "The King of Queens." Mike Brady - "The Brady Bunch": It takes quite a man to be the father to three biological sons and three adopted daughters, but architect Mike Brady manages to pull it off. Never short of fatherly advice and time for quiet moments with the wife, Brady is a master at balancing work and family. Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable - "The Cosby Show": In one of the first primetime shows to address upscale African-Americans, Cliff Huxtable was the lovable dad who reared his five kids with witty one-liners. With the comic genius of Bill Cosby behind the success of the show, and the endearing nature of Huxtable, it's no wonder the show lasted for eight seasons. Homer Simpson - "The Simpsons": There are certainly the Jim Anderson's of the "Father Knows Best" variety of TV dads, but Homer tips the dad scale entirely in the other direction. Lazy, gluttonous and often halfwitted, it's a wonder Homer was able to hold down a job to care for his family. But at the crux of this underachiever was a heart of gold ... or doughnuts. You decide. Archie Bunker - "All in the Family": Loud, bigoted and conservative, Archie was the complete opposite of his liberal daughter and her "Meathead" husband. Archie's commentary may have been offensive and controversial -- especially in the time in which the sitcom aired -- but viewers could tell he had his family's best interests at heart. Steve Keaton - "Family Ties": It's hard being a former hippie and raising a conservative, Ronald Reagan-loving son. Together with his wife, Keaton did a good job at tackling the tough questions of the 1980s. Al Bundy - "Married With Children": Al Bundy served as a role model to all dads out there, showing the world what NOT to do. Faced with a lousy job, bumbling wife, airhead daughter, and underachiever son, the only thing Al had to look forward to at home was a comfortable couch. Charles Ingalls - "Little House on the Prarie": A hard-working frontiersman, Charles was soft-spoken and always put the needs of his family first. Ingalls showed all dads what it was to be the rock of the family, especially when modern conveniences like running water and cable TV sports were yet to be invented.

(513) 831-9141 Father’s Day History Senora Louise Smart Dodd was born to William Smart, a Civil War soldier, and Ellen Victoria Cheek Dodd in 1882. Senora was the only daughter in a family of six children. When Senora was 16, her mother died in childbirth with her sixth child. Senora stepped up to help her father raise all of her siblings in Washington state. Seeing all that her own father did to keep the family together, and after hearing a church sermon about Mother's Day, Senora decided fathers were equally deserving of the honor. She approached the Spokane Ministerial Alliance and suggested her own father's birthday (June 5) as a day to honor fathers. Although her efforts began in the early 1900s, it wasn't until 1972 under President Richard Nixon that a permanent observance of Father's Day on the third Sunday of June was established. Senora got to see her dream come to fruition and witnessed four other actual Father's Day observances. She died at the age of 96 in 1978.

* Take Dad out to the ball game. If Dad is a fan of America's pastime, take him out to the ball game for a day of fun in the sun watching his favorite team. If there isn't a local
Major League team in the area, look for a minor league game instead. Minor league games are more intimate affairs, and Dad is sure to appreciate and cherish a day at the ballpark. Just don't let Dad spend a dime all day! * Hit the links. For the father who's an avid golfer, nothing could be finer than a round of golf at his favorite course. Spend the afternoon hitting the links with Dad and then buy him a meal at the 19th hole.

Property Transfers Don’t fall victim to ‘biases’ when you choose investments
B R O A D S H E E T
If you’re like most people, you go through many complex thoughts and emotions when choosing investments. In fact, a field of study called “behavioral finance” is devoted to understanding why people make their investment decisions. As part of their work, behavioral finance researchers examine “biases” that affect people’s investment selections. And as an individual investor, you, too, can benefit from understanding these biases — so that you can avoid them. Here are some of the key biases identified by behavioral finance experts: • Overconfidence — Overconfidence leads investors to believe they know the “right times” to buy and sell investments. But if you’re constantly buying and selling in the belief that you are correctly “timing” the market, you maybe wrong many times, and you may incur more investment fees, expenses and taxes than if you simply bought quality invest-
ments and held them for the long term. • Representativeness — If you make decisions based on preconceived ideas or stereotypes, you may be suffering from a bias called “representativeness.” For example, if you see that investments from a particular sector, such as energy, have performed particularly well in one year, you might think these types of vehicles will do just as well the next year, so you load up on them. Yet every sector will go through ups and downs, so one year’s performance cannot necessarily predict the next year's performance. Instead of chasing “hot” investments, try to build a balanced portfolio that reflects your individual goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. • Anchoring — Similar to representativeness, an anchoring bias occurs when investors place too much emphasis on past performance.

price hit $60 per share, you might assume XYZ will always sell for at least $60 a share. But if XYZ drops to $30 per share — perhaps as a result of a broad-based market decline — you might think it’s now “undervalued,” leading you to “snap up” even more shares. However, XYX shares could also fall due to a change in its fundamentals, such as a shake-up in the company’s management or a decline in the competitiveness of its products. As an informed investor, you need to work with your financial advisor to determine the causes of an investment’s decline and any actions you may need to take in response. • Confirmation — If you are subject to confirmation bias, you may look for information that supports your reasons for choosing a particular investment. This type of bias can lead to faulty decision making, because you’ll end up with one-sided information. In other words, you may latch onto all the positive reasons for investing in something — such as a “hot stock” — but you may overlook the “red flags” that would cause you to think twice if you were being totally objective. To fight back against confirmation bias, take your time before making any investment decision — a quality investment will almost always be just as good a choice tomorrow as it is today. Being aware of these investment biases can help you make better decisions — and over a period of many years, these decisions can make a difference as you work toward achieving your financial objectives.

STEVE BOEHME Home orchards typically start with a few well-known apple varieties, like Red Delicious and Granny Smith, and grow to include peach, cherry, and pear trees and a few more apples. If you already have a basic orchard, you might want to diversify by adding some more unusual plants. Looking around our nursery for something a little different to suggest, we came up with an intriguing list of easy-to-grow fruit plants: Hardy Kiwi “Issai”: A self-fertile variety of minikiwi hardy in Ohio. Deep green leaves and scented flowers in June. Smoothskinned green fruit ripens in October. Climbing vine grows to 12 feet with support, in sun or part sun. This kiwi is similar in habit to wisteria or trumpet vine, and just as fast-growing. Italian Prune Plum: Semi-dwarf tree with large, purple-skinned, rich, sweet greenish yellow flesh that turns red when cooked. Freestone, self-fertile. Red Lake Currant: Attractive, self-fertile shrub bears clusters of large bright red berries on 2-3 year old wood. Semi-erect and vigorous. Good for jams and jellies, and to attract birds. Ripens in midsummer. Persimmon: Native tree with one-inch fruit attractive to wildlife. Slow grower to 35 feet tall, 25 feet wide in full sun. hardy and drought- tolerant. Redgold Nectarine: Large, glossy, highly colored fruit with sweet, firm

and juicy freestone flesh. Stores and keeps well. Ripens late summer. Selffertile. Whitney Crabapple: Hardy, vigorous, heavy bearing, and a good pollinator for other apples. Fruit is yellow with red stripes, excellent for fresh eating and pickling. Blooms early, ripens in mid August. Moorpark Apricot: Selffertile red aprico t with rich, luscious flavor. Large, firm fruits are sweet and juicy, a favorite for eating fresh. It’s way too late in the season to plant bare-root mail order fruit plants, but we have “instant results” sizes growing in pots that can be planted anytime. All these plants can be incorporated into your landscape; formal orchard rows are easy to maintain but take quite a bit of space. There’s no reason why edible plants have to be arranged in rows; they’ll grow just as well elsewhere in your yard.
When planting woody orchard plants it’s very important to add trace minerals to their soil. Elements like Boron, Zinc and Magnesium prevent deficiency diseases like blossom end rot, premature fruit drop, puckering and other common problems. There’s no better way to fertilize than adding a dry orchard fertilizer like Espoma TreeTone to the planting soil while planting. You can just pour some on the ground before you start digging your planting hole, and you’ll automatically mix it in. In later years you can scatter it underneath the tree each spring, and again while fruit is forming.

Bedbug (Cimex lectularius) numbers have increased in the past decade as much as 500 percent in North America and other parts of the world. Reasons behind this spike include a boom in international travel and commerce; a shift from powerful but dangerous insecticides, such as DDT, to more selective control tactics; the public’s lack of awareness about these insects and how easily they spread; and the development of resistance among bedbug populations to currently used pesticides, especially pyrethroids. In the study (funded entirely by OARDC and OSU Extension), Jones and research associate Joshua Bryant evaluated three different fogger brands obtained from a nationwide retailer, all of which have pyrethroids as their active ingredient. Only one of the foggers is specifically labeled against bedbugs. The other two are labeled for use against flying and crawling pests in homes, but can be used to treat bedbugs in many states, Jones said.
Experiments were conducted in three rooms in a vacant office building on Ohio State’s Columbus campus. The researchers used five different bedbug populations collected from homes in Columbus between 2010 and 2011. Additionally, they included the Harlan strain – which has been laboratory-raised since 1973 and is susceptible to pyrethroids – as a control. Following application of the three foggers, Jones and Bryant found little, if any, adverse effects on the five field-collected bedbug populations. One exception was what researchers call the EPM population, which showed significant mortality five to seven days after treatment but only when bedbugs were out in the open and directly exposed to the insecticide mist. Pyrethroid-susceptible Harlan bedbugs experienced high mortality when out in the open, but were not affected when covered by a thin cloth of layer that provided shelter. Because a majority of bedbugs spend most of the
time hiding in protected sites (under sheets and mattresses, in cracks and crevices, deep inside carpets, etc.), Jones said it is very unlikely that they will be exposed to the insecticide mist from foggers. And even if they come into contact with the mist, she added, many bedbug populations found in Ohio and throughout the U.S. have varying degrees of resistance to pyrethroids and will most likely survive application. “The nature of these foggers is such that they don’t penetrate in cracks and crevices where most bedbugs are hiding, so most of them will survive,” Jones said. “If you use these products, you will not get the infestation under control, you will waste your money, and you will delay effective treatment of your infestation. Bedbugs are among the most difficult and expensive urban pests to control. It typically takes a professional to do it right.” Jones said she will submit the data from this study to the Environmental Pro-

tection Agency so officials there can look into the labeling of foggers that indicate they are effective against bedbugs. “Each one of the three foggers we studied claims ‘kills on contact’ on the label,” she pointed out. “The public is ill-served when products do not perform in accordance with labeling. Also, the ineffective use of these products can lead to further resistance in insects.”

Ohio State University entomologists have found that over-the-counter foggers or “bug bombs” commonly used by consumers are not effective at killing bedbugs – providing the first scientific evidence that such products should not be recommended for control of this increasingly worrisome, bloodsucking pest. The study appears in the June 2012 issue of the Journal of Economic Entomology, a peer-reviewed publication of the Entomological Society of America. “There has always been this perception and feedback from the pest-management industry that over-the-counter foggers are not effective against bedbugs and might make matters worse,” said Susan Jones, an urban entomologist with the university’s Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC) and a household and structural pest specialist with Ohio State University Extension. “But up until now, there has been no published data regarding the efficacy of foggers against bedbugs.”

You’re a little scared. Looking at the temperature these days is not for the faint of heart. The red line on the thermometer has to be somewhere in the Hades which means the less you know, the more comfortable you’ll feel – although you won’t be totally comfortable until you get home and slip into the dip, take a cool plunge, have a cold drink while lounging in the drink. You need to go swimming. But why do we – land animals that we are – spend so much time trying to be fish? In the new book “Swim: Why We Love the Water” by Lynn Sherr, you’ll wade into the answer. It doesn’t take much to imagine the first human who joyfully leaped into the water. Ancient Egyptians were so familiar with swimming that they created hieroglyphs for it. A cave in the

Eastern Sahara not only proves that there was water there once, but that humans swam in it. Early Greeks created coins depicting a
skinnydip, and Roman noblemen thought swimming was one of “the manly arts.” Yes, humans swam until about the late Middle Ages… and then we stopped, for reasons that historians can only guess at. For about 500 years, we shunned water – possibly because of its lack of cleanliness – but by the latter 1500s, humans were once again splashing away and inventing ways to get wet. While Native Americans and Africans had “practiced the art with natural grace,” Sherr says that white Americans “struggled with the proper way to enjoy the water.” It didn’t take long for them to figure it out, though, and it didn’t take long for them to deny their darker brethren a chance to dip their toes in the pool. Even today, 60 percent of African American children don’t know how to swim. For water-lovers, a lot has changed over the centuries, including the water itself: pools are much cleaner than 11th-century moat swimmers found. Swimsuits are racier, and racing results are more precise. Various strokes have been “invented” and most are scientifically measured for speed and efficiency. Even the way we enter the water is different than it was a hundred years ago: chances are that your bashful great-grandma got wet by wagon. Beginning with a legendary challenge that took her on a swim from one continent to another, author Lynn Sherr strokes readers’ curiosity and gives us plenty of excuses to go jump in the lake. She glides from psychology to seaside, from bathing beauties to beach bums, and from ancient Greece to swimmer’s grease here. What sets this book apart, though, is that Sherr’s words are as meditative as the act about which she writes. You’re lulled into the kind of relaxation you’d get from a 75-degree pool, but Sherr will also surprise you with splashes of sidebars that are pure fun. If you’re sometimes regretful that you don’t have gills, or if you spend most of your workday thinking about your pool, then “Swim” is definitely your kind of book. Grab a copy, and dive right in. The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri has been reading since she was 3 years old and she never goes anywhere without a book. She lives on a hill in Wisconsin with two dogs and 12,000 books.
