Milford man killed in three-car collision Five others injured in SR 131 crash STAFF REPORT

BY BRETT ROLLER Sun staff

After 122 years of serving the community under the name Bethel Building and Loan, the local company will have a new name starting Monday, Jan. 17. company’s new The moniker, Community Savings Bank, is designed to encompass recent growth in the company, according to bank President John Essen.

Community Savings Bank began offering checking accounts two years ago and now has a full array of checking options, including ATM and debit card access, and Internet banking that includes free automatic bill pay services, 24-hour activity monitoring, and the ability to make payments to other bank members online.

“These additional services allow us to serve as our client’s primary bank,” Vice President Judi Adams said.

Essen said the replacement of Bethel with Community in

and land loans offered by the bank since a group of Bethel community leaders provided the funds to found the bank in 1889. Essen said Community Savings Bank’s unique focus on its depositors and the community it serves has allowed it to become the second fastest

Henry Chapin, 81, of Milford was northbound on Belfast-Owensville Road when he came to a stop at S.R. 131. According to the initial Ohio State Highway Patrol investigation, Chapin entered the intersection and and into the path of two vehicles.

Gerald Brinker, 51, of Sardinia was eastbound on S.R. 131, while Robert Cole, 52, of Fayetteville was westbound on S.R. 131.

Both vehicles on S.R. 131 struck Chapin’s 1999 Plymouth Breeze at approximately the same time.

Bethel Building and Loan Company President John Essen and Vice President Judi Adams show off a portion of their remodeled building. The oldest bank in Bethel will be called Community Savings Bank as of Jan. 17 and the renovations were part of the switch.

the name is an effort to recognize the bank’s customers beyond the village in Tate Williamsburg, Township, Georgetown, and beyond.

The bank continues to be a mutual savings institution, which means each depositor owns a portion of the bank.

“Since we have no stockholders, we are in a better

position to support the community,” Essen said.

That community support has come in the form of sponsorship of and leadership in a number of local events over the years. Adams said the company has been involved with Bethel Down Home Christmas, the Bethel 10k Race, and the Bethel Art and

Music Festival in recent years.

“Our focus is not on quarterly returns but on returning services and quality products to the community,” Essen said.

In addition to checking, those services include savings, money market, certificates, and IRA accounts in addition to the mortgage, construction,

Batavia Trustees discuss All Bethel employees to concessions for ball fields receive a 5 percent raise Bids for drawings requested

BY BRETT ROLLER Sun staff

Fencing around the new baseball fields at the Batavia Township community center is nearly complete and the trustees have begun discussing the next phase of the project.

Trustee James Sauls Jr. said he thought it would be nice for the community to have a structure in the center of the four fields which could house equipment, restrooms, and a concession stand with an overhang for picnic tables which would be available for baseball, football, and soccer teams.

Trustee Lee Cornett said the parents would be more than willing to operate the concession stands at games without assistance from the township.

“My grandson is playing football, baseball, and all

these things and when you go to one of these games...you will become a believer,” Cornett said. “These things run themselves.”

Sauls said the building would need to be large enough to house grounds keeping equipment for the baseball fields and a grassy area for football and soccer.

“We got the bids for a tractor that would have all the accessories we would need to maintain the area,” Sauls said.

He said the building could also include a separate storage room for sports equipment such as chalk for the baseball fields.

“I like the idea,” Cornett said. “It’s such a simple thing I don’t know that we would need engineering work and they could design it in such a way that it would complement (the community center).”

Sauls said the most cost

effective method for bringing water and sewer to the building for restrooms would be to run a tap from Clough Pike near the entrance to the new parking lot. He said he looked into tapping into the main that feeds the subdivision directly north of the township property, but the line is 26 feet deep.

“It would just be financially irresponsible to try to go down 26 feet,” Sauls said.

He recommended the trustees consider installing the water and sewer lines this February to minimize damage to the surrounding landscape.

Trustee Bill Dowdney asked if the trustees had considered using vending machines. Sauls said vending machines are one of a number of details that have not yet been finalized, including scheduling use of the fields.

The trustees have requested bids for drawings and will continue to discuss the project.

The Bethel Village Council approved a 5 percent raise to all village employees with a four to one vote at their Monday, Jan. 10 meeting.

Village councilman Rus Whitley voted against the increase.

“I know our village employees haven’t had a raise since 2008, I understand that,” Whitley said. “I’m against this because I believe in a merit raise. I think this ought to be held up until we can change our handbook and go by a merit raise.”

Whitley said the raise would bring payroll expenses for the village up to about $29,000 and benefit pay outs up to about $34,000.

The compensation increase came from a recommendation

from the finance committee.

“I too support merit raises,” finance committee member Janice Ireton said. “However I made the decision that I think you guys deserve raises and I made it with my whole heart...but I’d like to see us implement merit raises for the next time.”

Finance committee chair Donna Gunn addressed several employees that were in attendance.

“I seem to remember, and you gentleman may back me up, that when Mr. Whitley was running for mayor he came to you guys and he said, ‘I’m going to get you more money,” Gunn said.

Whitley said he would support raises for the employees based on merit.

“I think it’s a little more fair to some of our employees that deserve an increase in wages,”

Whitley said. “There are some that I feel are at the top of their pay scale, and there are some that are underpaid.”

Pay scales were frozen in 2008 after the village hired a new administrator and financial officer and reviewed the financial status of the village.

Whitley said he could understand that the village employees should have a cost of living wage increase.

“I can see maybe 1.5 percent or something, a cost of living total raise since the employees haven’t had anything since 2008,” Whitley said, “but at this time I believe the people in this village and people outside in this village, if we pass this raise I don’t feel that they’re going to feel very good about this and I’m totally against it.”

Ireton said 1.5 percent was not a reasonable amount.

“I looked and I felt that a 1.5 to 2 percent raise is a slap

Creature Feature Senior dogs are the best patients at the veterinarian’s office

BY DR. DAN MEAKIN Senior dogs are the best patients we see. They know you well, you know them well, they are smart and seasoned and worth their weight in gold.

They’re also worth special care to keep them well and happy for as long as possible.

The age your dog hits senior status varies by breed and other factors, so discuss this with your veterinarian.

The checkups your dog needs change at this time of life, and you’ll want to visit more frequently as your dog ages past seven years of age.

One particularly wise and simple precaution is to take a look at pertinent blood values like kidney and thyroid levels.

Normal results are great news, meaning a wide range of treatments and medications are available for your dog if needed.

Abnormal results are good in a way, too, because they guide your veterinarian in making appropriate treatment choices for your dog’s individual situation. X-rays, urine checks and other tests can bring huge benefits too.

When you and your veterinarian know what’s going on in the dog’s body, you can adjust things that often make a world of difference in how the dog feels and behaves. The veterinarian’s role is to make the services available, and your role is to make decisions about what is best for your dog. Doing this well requires good communication so you’ll understand the pros and cons of the options.Changes with AgeSome inherited medical problems take their greatest tolls as dogs reach the senior years, especially if they have not been previously treated.

Some common ones are: 1. Hip dysplasia that may not have bothered the dog noticeably in younger years now may bring some bad days. Depending on the dog’s age and other factors, medication will likely help and surgery may be an option. You can restructure the dog’s environment and daily routine to eliminate the need to walk on slick floors, jump up to vehicles or furniture, or climb any substantial number of steps.

2. Other orthopedic problems due to orthopedic defects, injuries or osteoarthritis may require similar meas-

ures to those needed for hip dysplasia. Work closely with your veterinarian to learn and stay current on just what movements are healthy for your dog and what movements are not.

3. Hypothyroidism undetected in younger years can cause serious problems in the geriatric dog. When in doubt, this is one blood test you want.

Thyroid medication is a safe treatment with extremely gratifying benefits for those dogs who need it.

4. Senior dogs are the most prone dogs to cancers, so have any lumps or other symptoms checked promptly Many cancers can be cured if caught early and in most cases you can at least have some good time with the dog to say a loving good-bye.

Sometimes treatment can provide a normal lifespan or nearly so. Usually there are ways to relieve pain and other symptoms at least for awhile Normal Aging Old age is not a disease (cliché from vet school), and any change needs to be checked. Most things can be helped, at least to the extent of making the dog more comfortable and sometimes a great deal more than that. Some things can be completely cured.

Some dogs get cognitive dysfunction, evidenced by mental confusion. This could be compared to changes that happen in some humans. In dogs as in people, it doesn’t happen to all of them. For those who do experience it, medication can help. Some degree of change in housetraining is normal with aging, too, for a variety of reasons.

The dog with cognitive dysfunction may get confused about housetraining.

Medication may help. The dog with orthopedic problems may find the elimination posture painful and put it off until control is lost and the dog has an accident.

It may also be too painful for the dog to make the trip outside. Medication often helps these dogs. You may need to modify how the dog gets to the elimination area to make it less painful (or ideally not painful at all).

Changes in the kidneys, liver, and other organs as well as medications needed by the dog can shorten the length of time the dog can hold bowels

and bladder. Never blame a senior dog for housetraining accidents.

Never expect that because a dog could hold it a certain number of hours in past years, the dog can do it for life.

People change with age in these same ways. Senior dogs need and deserve extra care for their elimination needs.

The necessary adjustments may be simple once the problem is identified.

Coping SkillsSenior dogs can keep learning, and they love to learn! Many of them are the smartest dogs on earth, Teach your senior dog signals if the dog’s vision is still good.

This will serve as a back-up if hearing fails, which it often does.

Signals are fun for dogs and are a more natural language for them than words. Hearing loss can be moderate or profound. Grooming will help your dog cope with loss of vision as well as hearing.

Handling your dog gently and thoroughly every day will give you a language of touch together.

Your touch will help guide your dog. Also during these daily sessions you check your dog for any body changes, keep skin and coat in top health, and keep your relationship with your dog close and loving.

Grooming done every day won’t hurt, because the dog won’t have tangles. Start this as early in your dog’s life as possible. Teach your senior dog composure, with Stay and Settle exercises (Downs without Sits—Sits can hurt) and training that gives the dog safer targets for human affection than jumping up. It’s quite simple to teach a dog to go to people’s knees for petting, by putting your hands at your knees when you call your dog, and instructing everyone else who pets the dog to do the same.

If your dog needs help getting up or walking now and then, there are various devices available. A simple one when only moderate help is needed is a padded nylon chest harness. This must be a nonrestrictive harness, NOT a harness designed to prevent a dog from pulling on leash. Work closely with your veterinarian when your dog is on a special diet for a medical condition.

Your veterinarian needs to know if the dog won’t eat the

Bethel: Employees get raise Continued from page 1 in the face for what you all do to keep the roads clean, and there’s a lot that you do that I cannot see, but mostly I know that when I get ready to leave my streets are clean,” Ireton said. “I know that if I have a water main break you’re there. You read the meters.”

Council woman Priscilla Johnson said she would also like to see merit based pay raises but the current employee handbook does not provide that option.

“It’s been something I’ve prayed upon,” Johnson said.

“I’ve said this a thousand times, if you don’t have something in black and white we can’t just pick and choose people to give raises to.”

Council members Gunn, Ireton, Johnson, and Tim Cherry voted for the raise while Whitley voted against.

The raises are retroactive beginning Jan. 1.

Council also held the first reading of a resolution to change the village cellphone policy. The new policy would provide a flat stipend for employees who carry cellphones instead of providing

phones to those employees.

The resolution calls for a stipend of $45 for administrators and $25 for additional employees. Gunn said reimbursing employees for using their personal phones would save the village about $200 per month.

food or has other problems with it. The dog’s weight needs to be checked and regularly noted in a medical log.

Every single bite that goes into your dog’s mouth is part of the dog’s “diet,” so be sure not to ruin the benefits of a special diet with off-plan dog treats or people food.

Saying Good-Bye There is no good day to lose a good dog, but time to say a loving good-bye is a blessing.

Try to make the decision the dog would want, if the dog could know what you know.

That leads to the best decisions in these matters.

Think carefully about the timing of a new dog. Ending your senior dog’s life happily is top priority. Some older dogs will enjoy the company of a dog a few years younger or a pup, while others would hate it. You don’t want the care of the senior to keep you from doing a good job of training the newbie, or the training of the newbie to keep you from giving the senior the good care so richly deserved.

If at all possible, try to avoid getting your dogs too close together in age. Losing them close together is even harder on you.

Be kind to yourself when you lose your senior dog, and seek the company of people who understand this kind of loss. At All creatures, January is senior pet month and February is pet dental month.

We celebrate these events at All Creatures with 2 special offers which will save you money on your pet’s dental and preventative health care.

We have some great preventative care packages geared towards geriatric dogs and cats to screen for problems and prevent medical issues this month. Our dental packages range from$ 99-149 and our geriatric care package is $199. Both packages are discounted to save you money on providing the best care for your four legged family member. Our geriatric package includes an office call examination, X-rays of chest and abdomen, an Ekg screening, and a complete blood panel (including testing all liver and kidney enzymes, thyroid, complete blood count, and urinalysis) Most of all cherish your dog’s senior years. They pass too quickly, and they are wonderful times.

Senior dogs are the best. It’s the time in a dog’s life when the love ripens, the intelligence blossoms, and you have the companionship of a wonderful friend. Make every day count.

Bank: Same owner Continued from page 1 growing small bank in the Greater Cincinnati market with a 53 percent increase in its loan portfolio in the last three years.

“The community has responded well to our efforts and as a result we’ve experienced tremendous growth,” Essen said. “The timing is good because events in the economy have got people upset with large national banks.”

In addition to the name change and expanding product line, the bank building itself has been remodeled.

Community Savings Bank moved from their original location on East Plane Street just west of Union Street to

their current West Plane Street location in the mid-1970’s, and Essen said the building was largely unchanged until renovations began in October.

“Our renovations have modernized our building and made it more efficient,” Essen said.

The modern interior design includes a number of tributes to the history of the bank and of Bethel throughout the building. Essen said the renovation has created a better floor plan that will allow the customer service space to more efficiently interact with the company office space.

Community Savings Bank will be celebrating the name change with an open house Friday, Jan. 21 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

When you spend money with local shops and businesses, you help those businesses grow and prosper. Successful businesses stay around for a long time and help share the tax load for government services.

When you shop locally, you help yourself and all of us! Find everything you need in your own backyard, travel fewer miles & save time and gas, to boot!

Sports Briefs

Wresting, Track and Field, Baseball, and Softball focus of Ohio High School Board of Directors Meeting At the most recent meeting of the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s (OHSAA) Board of Directors several items of interest pertaining to Clermont County schools were discussed.

The first-ever dual team state wrestling tournment will begin during the 2012-13 season. It will be conducted in a seeded, regional format (similar to football) and will conclude the week prior to the sectional round of the individual state tournament.

The dual team state tournament will be a one-day event consisting of quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals.

The track and field coaches association withdrew its proposal to add the triple jump (hop, skip, and jump) to the list of events to be contested at the state tournament. The board approved a proposal on how runners qualify from the semifinals to the finals at the OHSAA regional and state tournaments.

The change stipulates that the first two placers in both semifinal heats will qualify to the finals, plus the next four fastest times, overall, regardless of heat. The top two placers in both semifinals and the next five fastest times will advance to the finals at the state meet.

Beginning in 2012, baseball and fast pitch softball practices and games may begin the Saturday prior to the previously announced Monday start date.

In 2012 practice may start March 3 instead of March 5 and games may begin March 24 instead of March 26. Pitchers and catchers may still begin practice on Feb. 20, 2012.

The junior high committee has completed a brochure that addresses such issues as eligibility, non-intershcolastic participation, and recruiting.

Milford Baseball Training Milford is the site of a baseball training program for players currently in grades 1-12 from Jan. 19-Feb. 27.

For more information call (866) 622-4487 or go to www.USBaseballAcademy.com .

Given the economic climate we’re in, you may one day be faced with a downsizing or otherwise forced to retire earlier than you had planned.

But even if that happens, you can still maintain control of your financial future — if you make the right moves.

Unfortunately, many of us are ill prepared for events such as forced early retirement.

In 2009, more people filed for Social Security than any year in history, with a big increase in the number receiving reduced benefits because they filed before their full retirement age.

And they paid a heavy price, too — 62-year-old workers who filed for benefits early lost about 25 percent of their monthly benefits over waiting until their “full” retirement age of 66, according to the Social Security Administration.

Of course, if you are forced to take an early retirement, you, too, may need to tap into your Social Security earlier than you planned.

But that’s just the beginning — you might also need to start withdrawals from your IRA and your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, even though you had planned on leaving

SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY If you are unable to work or you have been denied Social Security we may be able to help.

Once you’ve left your employer, you may be forced to repay a 401(k) loan within two months — an obvious hardship during a stressful time.

• Work part-time. Even if you were forced to retire from one job, it doesn’t mean you couldn’t find another.

This might be the perfect time to take a part-time job in an area in which you’ve always wanted to work.

• Get some help. By consulting with a professional financial advisor, you may find that you actually can afford to retire early.

A financial advisor can help you develop those income and spending strategies that are appropriate for your situation.

And the earlier you get this type of help, the more options you ultimately may have.

You may not be able to avert an unwanted, early retirement, but by preparing for it, as far in advance as possible, you can improve your chances of maintaining the retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned.

those accounts intact for a few more years. And that’s why you won’t want to wait until early retirement is thrust upon you before taking action. While you’re still working, consider these steps: • Boost your contributions to retirement plans. Put as much as you can possibly afford into your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored plan. Every time your salary goes up, try to increase the amount you contribute to your retirement plan. Also, contribute regularly to your traditional or Roth IRA. • Be prepared to rebalance your portfolio. If you’re facing a forced early retirement, or even if you think it’s a possibility, you may want to rebalance your portfolio to provide more opportunities for income.

Talk to your financial advisor about income strategies appropriate for your particular situation.

• Build up cash accounts.

Even during “normal” times, it’s a good idea to keep an emergency fund, in cash or other liquid vehicles, containing six to 12 months’ worth of living expenses. If you suspect a forced early retirement is heading your way, try to beef up your cash holdings as much as possible.

• Repay any 401(k) loans.
