New county corrections officers graduate Officers will staff new cell block in Clermont County jail Sun staff
A graduation ceremony was held Sept. 1 for eight corrections officers who will be staffing the new cell block in the Clermont County Jail. The new officers include Lawrence Cruey, Jeffrey Gaffney, Samantha Heist, Shaun Mikicic, Brandon Shaw, Danny Spears, Shaun Thompson and Christina Turner. “We are glad to have you on board,” Sheriff Tim Rodenberg told the officers at their graduation ceremony. The Board of Clermont County Commissioners recognized the need for more space in the jail and voted March 16 to approve the opening of an additional cell block designed to house 32 inmates. “As a result of the initiative on their part, it was necessary for us to hire additional officers,” Sheriff Rodenberg said. The individuals selected went through five weeks of extensive training and exams to prepare for the job. They were trained how to interact
with inmates in a variety of situations and were put through physical and mental testing. “Each and every one of you should feel like you’re part of something special,” Judge Ken Zuk, guest speaker at the ceremony, said. Judge Zuk said the officers are going to have to deal with people that sometimes aren’t the most admirable and at times are difficult to handle, but he encouraged the officers to treat others like they would want to be treated. “You’ve been given the training you need to have,” Judge Zuk said. “And if you follow that training you will do extremely well.” Sergeant Bill Hogue, who helped train the officers, said it is probably the best group they have ever had go through the academy. Hogue recognized each officer at the ceremony and presented them with their certificate of completion. “It’s a great honor to work for this department,” Shaun Mikicic, of Columbus, said when his name was called. Mikicic was selected as valedictorian of the class, and

the former marine said he didn’t think he could find an atmosphere similar to serving the country until he began training as a corrections officer. He said he found a sense of camaraderie during train-
ing that he didn’t expect. Sam Heist, of Bethel, agreed that the best part was getting to know the group she would be working with. She said the hardest part was adapting to the environment,
but said completing the training and graduating was a great accomplishment. “I am ready to move on to the next chapter,” Heist said about beginning her job as an officer.
With the graduation and hiring of the eight new officers, the Clermont County Jail was able to open the cell block this week. The additional beds brought the jail capacity up to 278 beds.
Bethel couple responds to new crime wave Whitley Durbins start AC Lockdown Security after thieves steal air conditioner BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff
In December of 2010, Russell and Mary Durbin were victims of a crime that has since escalated in Clermont County. The couple had gone to check on one of the homes they had for sale, and what they found were footprints in the snow, leading to the spot where their air conditioner had been. “They are basically coming in, cutting the lines and taking the whole unit,” Russell said. The crime is becoming popular as metal prices rise. Air conditioners contain a significant amount of copper and aluminum. Thieves will snatch the entire unit, strip it of the metal and then exchange the metal for cash at scrap yards. “It’s just running rampant,” Mary said about the crime.
“People are making a career out of it.” Residential homes, churches, and business alike have experienced theft, and after realizing how large the issue has become, the Durbins decided to do something about it. “It is a shame that it has to come to this,” Russell said. “Somebody has got to stand up and fight back.” Russell began developing and idea to prevent the theft from happening again. What he envisioned was some type of cage that would not only protect an air conditioning unit and heat pump, but allow access for repairs. The design also needed to allow airflow to the unit and be sturdy. “I am fortunate I can think it out and make it happen,” Russell said about giving life to his design. He welded tubular steel into the shape of a cage, made
the lid of the cage, as well as the back of the cage, removable to allow for repairs, painted the cage with black industrial paint and then used concrete to anchor the cage into the ground. “It’s a good design, it’s feasible, it’s a deterrent,” Russell said about his creation. By June of 2011, Russell had begun installing the product for people who had also been victims of theft. At first he approached business and church owners that he knew had been robbed, but pretty soon, he had enough business to increase production. He called his business venture AC Lockdown Security, and now sells both a standard 40 inch by 40 inch cage as well as custom cages for air conditioners of any size. The standard cage is priced at $795 for complete installation. The Durbins said this is less than the price of many new units and often less than the price of many people’s insurance deductibles that must be paid if their unit is

Bethel Councilman Rus Whitley is still on the ballot for the Nov. 8 election, despite a protest filed Aug. 22 to challenge his residency. “All I wanted was the truth,” Bethel councilwoman Donna Gunn said about protesting Whitley’s candidacy.

and protect it.” Whitley said he built an efficiency in the building years ago and changed his residency to that location. “Rus provided different pieces of mail, bills, personal correspondence and also provided work job invoices to help explain why he would be away from his residence,” Rudd said. Gerwe, the owner of the building, also testified, and said that she knew Whitley had put an efficiency into the building. Rudd said what was interesting was that Gerwe was also one of Gunn’s witnesses. Whitley said he owns several pieces of property, and he has changed his address several times. In 1995 he registered to vote at 2149 Bethel-Hygiene Road. He updated his address to 2444 Bethel-Hygiene Road in 2003 and updated his address again in 2008 to 408
Focus on senior pet care BY DR. DAN MEAKIN Did you know your pets’ senior years start at age seven? Frequently asked vet questions: My pet’s always been healthy. Why should I worry now that they’re a little older? • Just like people, your cat’s or dog’s health will change as it ages. And because pets age faster than people, major health changes can happen quickly. Especially for senior pets, early detection and treatment can help them live longer, healthier lives. Regular checkups can uncover hidden disease before it is clinically apparent. Many infectious diseases show few signs during initial infection. As disease progresses and signs become visible, it may be harder for senior pets to fight infection. What particular risks does my senior pet face? • Similar to people in their “golden years,” senior pets have an increased risk of dia-

betes, heart and endocrine disease, and cancer. Because these diseases show few signs in early stages, preventive health care and routine blood work are very important. Issues with mobility often affect pets as they become older. Arthritis or stiffness in the joints can be painful and lead to decreased exercise and activity levels, or make simple tasks like climbing stairs more difficult. Pets with mobility issues often face additional risks associated with a medication for pain/inflammation (NSAI Ds). Without monitoring, NSAI Ds can affect the kidneys and liver over time. Regular blood work will ensure your pet stays healthy and pain free. Also like aging people, senior pets have a greater risk of gaining excess weight because of changes in metabolism, exer-

South Main Street. “You have a legal right to change your residency anywhere you want in the United States,” Whitley said. “I use that out there at BethelHygiene for my weekend retreat.” Rudd said issues concerning Whitley’s residency have been brought up by council members before. He said two council members opposed Whitley’s council appointment in 2010 because of the issue. Despite the questions raised about Whitley’s residence, Rudd said the board unanimously voted to deny the protest. “The board simply did not have any overwhelming evidence that he didn’t live there,” Rudd said about Whitley’s 408 South Main Street address. “Ultimately it’s up to the voters of Bethel to decide whether they want Rus to be the mayor.”

cise levels and more. As a pet’s weight increases, so does their risk for developing heart and liver disease. What can I do to help? • Schedule an annual wellness visit for your pet. Regular checkups can help your veterinarian detect disease sooner, even if your pet shows no signs of being sick. Watch for changes in your pet’s health. Tell your veterinarian immediately if you notice any changes in behavior, diet, exercise/activity level or mobility. Help your pet live a healthy lifestyle. Nutrition and exercise can help your pet live longer and healthier, so make sure they eat right and play often.

Continued from page 1 members held a hearing Aug. 29 to investigate the protest. According to Tim Rudd, board chair, Gunn presented the evidence she collected during the hearing. Board members also heard from Whitley and Carla Gerwe, the owner of the building Whitley leases, before making a decision. “(Gunn) presented to the board four or five letters from people who lived near Rus’ residence that said they believed he didn’t live there,” Rudd said. The location of the residence in question is 408 South Main Street in the village of Bethel. Rudd said Whitley operates his business out of the building, which is owned by Gerwe. “I have my business in front,” Whitley said about the location. “I built that efficiency so I could stay here

Sometimes, people can surprise you. You like to think you’re a good judge of character – you can spot a shyster a mile away and you know a potential friend when you see one – but, you hate to admit, you’ve been wrong before. It’s a surprise when shady characters become unlikely allies, and trusted pals become untrustworthy. So upon what can you base your first impressions? For the people in Holmes County, Ohio, their way of life explains a lot. That’s because many of them are pacifistic Amish, but in the new book “Harmless as Doves” by P.L. Gaus, it appears that one of them just committed murder. Bishop Leon Shetler needed a vacation. The sun wasn’t even up on that October morning when he slipped on his clothes and headed out to milk his cow, his mind wandering to Florida. Down near Sarasota, there was an Amish community along the beach. Bishop had heard about blue skies and sand, and though he knew such dreams were foolishness, they were warm comVisit

fort on a cool day. But as the Bishop went about his chores, he was suddenly startled by young Crist Burkholder, who stood panting in the Bishop’s barn. Then Crist said something that chilled the Bishop even further: “I just killed Glenn Spiegle.” Not long before, Glenn Spiegle came to the Bishop, asking to learn Amish ways because, he said, he was looking for peace. Spiegle had been in prison, was struggling with remorse, and the Amish community welcomed him. But not everyone liked him. Spiegle had confronted Crist Burkholder earlier that October morning to tell the young man that Spiegle needed to marry Vesta Miller, that his life depended on it. Spiegle had been keeping company with Vesta’s father, Jacob, and an arranged marriage seemed imminent, although Vesta loved Burkholder. Angry about the whole thing, Burkholder punched Spiegle as hard as he could. Spiegle went down, and never got up again. But was a peaceful Amishman like Burkholder capable of killing? Why was Jacob Miller suddenly fleeing to Florida? And why was Darba Winter, who saw Burkholder run from her barn, going quietly insane? Why do authors seem to
Harmless as Doves” by P.L. Gaus; c.2011, Ohio University Press $24.95; 193 pages
think that loading a book with characters is a good thing? “Harmless as Doves” is a fine mystery. Author P.L. Gaus knows how to string his readers along with plot twists and the kind of surprises that make whodunit fans wring their hands and cackle with glee. But you’ll need a pen and paper for note-taking as you’re reading, because this book has well over two dozen characters to remember, and at least one of them is known by two different names. Not only does this clutter the story, but it also adds to the confusion inher-
ent in a mystery novel. I liked this book, but it needed a smaller cast. So should you read it? I think so, if you can keep in mind that “Harmless as Doves” is overly-populous. Remembering that will help ensure that the only surprise you’ll get is in the mystery itself. 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.

Growing up in the family landscape business made a strong impression on me when it comes to practical landscape design. Our family company specialized in industrial-commercial landscape maintenance. We made our living by
B R O A D S H E E T
rearranging commercial landscapes so that they took less man-hours to keep them looking nice. I spent my workdays pulling weeds and hand-trimming. I draw on that early experience today when I design landscapes. Recently Marjorie and I went on the Central Ohio Landscape Association
Garden Tour in Columbus. We looked at fifteen home landscapes designed and installed by professional landscapers and nurseries. It was a very interesting day. Most of the homes had elaborate “hardscapes;” combinations of walls, pavers, pergolas and water features. The featured landscapes ranged in price, some mod-
est, some costing well into six figures. One thing most of them had in common was that they were over-planted. A few were “plant collections,” with one each of many different species, but most had mass-plantings. This is usually a better way to fill landscape beds with color without appearing clut-

tered. Either way, most of the designs had twice or three times the number of plants needed, and will become much too crowded in a very short time. I’m always surprised how few landscape designers really know about plants. We saw many examples of plant combinations that won’t thrive because the plants need different growing conditions. A good example is combining Hostas, which need shade protection, with ornamental grasses that prefer full sun all day. This may work on a color wheel, but over time the wonderful color harmonies will disappear because some of the plants won’t survive. Overcrowding and poor plant choices will make maintenance a real headache over the long haul. Woody plants that grow too large will need to be constantly sheared to fit the space and keep them looking good. We saw many taxus yews, shrubs we avoid because they need constant shearing. We saw Fothergilla and Viburnum jammed into small spaces when they naturally grow quite large. Another plant we saw everywhere was purple wintercreeper, a groundcover vine that climbs trees and walls, covers walks, and smothers the rest of the landscape. Wintercreeper destroys siding and gutters, and is known for attracting “scale,” an insect that covers it with Visit

powdery mold unless it’s sprayed every year. Why not use Vinca or Pachysandra instead? We’re not sure. Expensive hardscape designs with outdoor living and dining rooms were in many of the landscapes, but with little thought to protecting homeowners from sun, wind and rain. Most of the pergolas we saw didn’t actually provide much shade. We saw walks and patios with lots of steps where ramps would be more user-friendly. Everywhere we looked there were patches of highmaintenance “stupid grass,” a pet peeve of mine. I promise you a column about this. Garden tours typically feature newly installed landscapes, or hobby gardens maintained by owners with lots of time on their hands. Harder to find are landscapes that stood the test of time, getting better year after year. Low maintenance landscapes take careful planning and require skilled installation. Color wheels are important tools for harmonizing plantings, but a good designer should also have practical experience with real-life maintenance and a good background in how plants actually grow. Otherwise he’s more a salesman than a designer. We offered our readers free tickets to this year’s Central Ohio Landscape Association Garden Tour. If you’d like to be invited next year, please send us an e-mail from our website at www.goodseedfarm.com.
