Residents express concerns about CECOS plan Republic Services officials discuss what is being done

BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff

Dozens of local residents attended an informational session in Jackson Township Feb. 23 to learn more about the post-closure plan for the CECOS Aber Road Landfill.

Republic Services environmental manager Connie Dall, area environmental manager Chris Jaquet, and manager of hydrogeology Joe Montello presented information about the postclosure plan and addressed residents concerns.

“We moved in 12 years ago and didn’t know it was there,” Jeff Moore, a resident who lives on Aber Road, said at the meeting.

“We quit drinking the water three years ago.”

Moore said his family is concerned about the future of the facility, especially when it comes to future generations.

The plant, which opened on Aber Road in 1972, stopped moving waste in 1988 and closed in 1997.

Jaquet said the hazardous waste plant was purchased

by Browning Ferris Industries (BFI) in 1983 and the company operated CECOS. He said BFI merged with Allied Waste, and in 2008, Allied Waste merged with Republic Services.

The panel of Republic officials explained that having a post-closure plan is re-

quired by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. The post-closure plan began in 1997 and Republic has been responsible for continuing the post-closure plan since the merger.

Republic submitted a revised post-closure plan to the Ohio EPA Jan. 31.

“A large part of what we do is take care of closed sites,” Montello said about the Republic. “We have over 100 closed sites throughout the country.”

And while Montello said not all of the sites include hazardous waste, which is made up of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), he said Republic regularly submits reports to the USEPA and Ohio EPA, and Dall explained that the company follows the post-closure plan and monitors the site 365 days a year.

“We have a real local commitment to the site,” Dall said.

Dall explained several of the environmental protection systems that are in place including daily inspections, leachate pumping, which removes contaminated materials, cell cap monitoring and cell design.

In addition, she explained USEPA officials regulate several of the cells where problems occurred previously. She said a slurry wall was constructed around those cells to prevent any

fluid from escaping the area, should the other protective mechanisms fail.

Montello said they perform regular ground water monitoring throughout the landfill property to ensure chemicals are not traveling from the waste area.

“One of the most important things we do is work to protect the local drinking water,” Montello said.

He said they sample five spots in streams in the area four times a year and constantly check the condition of the wells to make sure

there are no leaks.

“That data has not come up with anything,” Montello said about testing results.

And while many residents had questions answered about procedures in the post-closure plan, they were left with questions about what will happen when the 30-year plan has ended.

“What I am afraid of is they are going to close it and no one is going to monSee CECOS, Page 8

Schmidt faces four challengers Two arrested after

STAFF REPORT Congresswoman Jean Schmidt faces three Republican opponents in the March 6 primary election.

Her opponents are Brad Wenstrup, Fred Kundrata and Tony Brush.

“I share the conservative values of the people of Southern Ohio, and I will not back down in representing their interests in our nations capital,” Schmidt said about running for re-election.

Schmidt said she is alarmed by the path the nation is taking and said her focus if re-elected will be on job creation, slashing federal spending, cutting the national deficit and lowering taxes.

“Jobs are my number one priority,” Schmidt said. “I meet often with workers

and business leaders to figure out ways to expand our economy and put this great nation back to work.”

Schmidt said she recently met with an international company to talk about expanding its United States headquarters in Clermont County and has also been working to bring a manufacturing plant to another area of the district.

“I have sponsored or cosponsored legislation to eliminate regulations that hamper businesses and prevent the kind of economic expansion that would lead to new jobs,” Schmidt said.

Schmidt said she is the best candidate in the primary election because she understands how all levels of government operate. She has served as Miami Township trustee, a state representative and as a United States representative.

“I also know this community – both residents and business – far better than any other candidate,” Schmidt said. “I grew up on

a farm in Miami Township and I have lived in Clermont County my entire life.”

Schmidt’s opponents in the race include Tony Brush, a Pierce Township resident who works as a project manBrush ager for Tata Consulting Schmidt Services.

Brush joined the United States Marine Corps after graduating high school and served until 1996. He graduated from college with a degree in computer information systems in 2001 and moved to Kundrata Wenstrup Clermont County in said his second priority is to 2003. reduce the national debt by The issues Brush is most addressing entitlement reconcerned about include the form.

drug investigation 10 grams of heroin located STAFF REPORT Two Milford residents were arrested and charged Feb. 28 after police found heroin, money and drug paraphernalia at their residences.

Clermont County Sheriff Tim Rodenberg announced that a man and woman were arrested at the Oakbrook apartment complex in Milford following an intense investigation stemming from citizen complaints of illegal drug activity.

Chief Deputy Rick Combs said Sean Wilson, 18, and Stephanie Shadoan, 22, both of Milford, were arrested and each charged with one felony count of corrupt activities after police obtained warrants and searched their apartments at the complex.

the Milford Police Department served search warrants and made the two arrests Feb. 28 and also recovered approximately 10 grams of heroin, $880, drug paraphernalia and contraband acquired with proceeds from drug sales.

“The investigation had been ongoing since the Milford police brought the case to the drug unit several weeks ago,” Sheriff Rodenberg said.

A third suspect, Cassandra Highley, 29, was not present when officers served the warrants and is being sought for felony charges similar to those against Wilson and Shadoan.

Chief Combs credited the successful operation to the teamwork of Milford police and the Clermont County Narcotics Unit.

A unique fast food restaurant opened on Ohio Pike Feb. 20 specializing in tender, hand-breaded chicken that is served hot and fresh every day.

“The food is high quality,” Nabih David, part owner of Tender Towne and vice president of David Restaurant Group, said. “It is not your cookie-cutter product.”

David said that while the food is served fast, it does not feel like the customer is eating at a fast food restaurant. The dining room is upscale with comfortable seating, TVs and Wi Fi, and customers enjoy generous portions of hot, fresh food.

“The chicken tenders are fresh and hand-breaded, never frozen,” David said.

“I would consider us above

the fast food category.”

He said menu items include different variations of the signature tenders as well as garlic toast, cole slaw, fries and other sides and there is also a secret recipe tender sauce. Customers can eat in, drive through or carry out and a meal typically costs $7-$8.

David, who also oversees Butterbee's American Grille down the street, said the idea behind Tender Towne was to create a new concept in the restaurant industry.

“We’ve been in the restaurant business a long time,” David said. “We felt we need to provide this area with a fast, casual restaurant and hot, fresh food in a great environment.”

David said they purchased the restaurant, which was formerly an Arby's, last year and completely renovated the space.

They opened Tender Towne Feb. 20.

Karen Harrison, a Milford resident who was one of many customers who ate at Tender Towne the first week, said the food was great and she would recommend eating at the restaurant.

Joshua Baker, general manager of the restaurant, said since it has been open, they have heard overwhelmingly positive feedback from customers.

“We’re really excited about it,” Baker said about how things are going so far.

“We are glad to be able to bring our business here to the community.”

Tender Towne is located at 603 Ohio Pike. David said they could offer the restaurant in more than one location in the future.

Early season boaters warned of cold water immersion risks As sport anglers venture onto waterways in their boats for early season fishing action, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Watercraft advises boaters to take precautions to reduce the effects of cold water immersion should people unexpectedly fall into the icy cold water.

The risks associated with a cold water immersion for unprepared people can be severe and result in death if a boat capsizes or a person falls overboard. Most Ohio waterways remain free of ice, but water temperatures are only a few degrees above freezing.

The most apparent risk to life results from the immediate effects of cold water shock and cold water incapacitation. This often leads

to hypothermia for people who become immersed in cold water and are not properly dressed for the conditions.

Properly loading a boat and not overloading it with people and gear is an important first step to reduce the chances of a boat capsizing. Properly wearing an approved life jacket or inflatable vest saves lives and should be a part of every boat angler’s safety gear routine before boating. Paying close attention to current and future weather conditions and filing a float plan with a responsible person are also key safety tips to follow when boating, especially during cold conditions.

Another good way to be prepared for an unexpected fall into seasonally cold wa-

ters is to dress for the water temperature, not the air temperature. More safety tips are available on the Division of Watercraft’s website at www.ohiodnr.com/watercraft.

Information shared in a training program known as the Cold Water Boot Camp details the risks associated with cold water immersions and offers tips on how to be prepared for cold water boating conditions. Learn more about the training program at www.coldwaterbootcamp.com.

Spring trout releases provide many fishing opportunities around the state Public fishing opportunities will be enhanced this spring when more than 96,000 rainbow trout will be released into 61 Ohio lakes and ponds, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Wildlife.

The releasing of the rainbow trout, which are 10 to 13 inches long, will occur between March 8 and mid-May. Anglers are reminded the daily catch limit for inland lakes is five trout. Anglers should also know there will no longer be fall catchable trout releases. Beginning in 2012, all catchable trout releases have been shifted to the spring season.

Some locations will feature special, youth-only angler events on the day of the scheduled releases. Anglers age 16 and older must have an Ohio fishing license to fish the state’s public waters. Once the

youth-only events have concluded, all other anglers may fish. Contact the nearest district office for specific information about the angler events.

The 2012-13 fishing license will be available March 1. The license will be valid March 1 through Feb. 28, 2013. An annual resident fishing license costs $19. A one-day fishing license is available and may be purchased for $11 by residents and non-residents. The one-day license may also be redeemed for credit toward purchase of an annual fishing license.

Ohio residents born on or before Dec. 31, 1937 may obtain a free fishing license where licenses are sold. Persons age 66 and older who were born on or after Jan. 1, 1938, and have resided in Ohio for the past six months are eligible to purchase the reduced cost resident senior

license for $10.

Additional information about spring trout releases is available by calling tollfree at 800-WILDLIFE. Information is also available from Division of Wildlife district offices in Akron, Athens, Columbus, Findlay and Xenia.

also more afraid of humans than humans are of them.

And Luke knew that because he lived for two years in the Canadian wilderness with a pack of wolves.

Edward Warren remembered those years without a father; how his mother, Georgie, cried and how his little sister, Cara, missed her daddy. Edward was 15 then, and Luke had burdened him with a man-ofthe-house talk before he left, handing Edward the financial reins and making him sign a scrap of paper which gave the boy medical power of attorney.

Wanting neither, Edward did his best. But shortly after his father returned from Canada, shortly after he told his mother he was gay, Edward left home, angry, vowing never to return.

Cara Warren barely remembered Luke’s absence, but it didn’t matter anymore.

After her parents divorced, Cara lived with her mother but favored her father. Everything she knew, she learned from him.

Compassionate, smart, wise, and patient, he adored her and he adored his wolves.

But that was before the accident.

That was before doctors said that Luke would never regain consciousness, before Georgie called Edward home.

Before Edward decided that it was time to let his father go peacefully…

Filled with well-rounded characters you come to feel as though you know personally, “Lone Wolf” is comfortingly typical of author Jodi Picoult’s other works. Each person is allowed to tell his or her own story, there’s a pivotal issue around which they all revolve, and there’s a tantalizing, hidden “hook” you know is there but that you hate to see.

What’s different about this novel is that one of the characters tells his story from a unique place.

That’s unexpected, and I also won’t tell you why the ending was a sweet relief.

You’ve got to find out

yourself.

And if you’re a member of Jodi’s Pi-cult, that won’t be a problem at all. For you, or for any new fan of this author, “Lone Wolf” is a howling good read.

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.

Final deer numbers reported The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife has announced that 219,698 deer were taken during Ohio's 2011-12 hunting season, compared to 239,379 in the 2010-11 season. The top three counties with the highest number of deer taken this season were: Coshocton, Licking and Tuscarawas.

Hunters showed support for the two new methods of game-reporting that were made available this year.

Since deer season began on Sept. 24, 2011, 44 percent of hunters called in their numbers, 36 percent reported their numbers online and 20 percent traveled to a license agent’s location to report their game.

Ohio's first modern day deer-gun season opened in 1943 in three counties, and hunters reported 168 deer.

In 1956, deer hunting was allowed in all 88 counties, and hunters harvested 3,911 deer during a oneweek season.

The white-tailed deer is the most popular game animal in Ohio and is frequently pursued by generations of hunters.

Ohio ranks eighth nationally in annual hunting-related sales and 10th in the number of jobs associated with the hunting-related industry. Each year, hunting has an $859 million economic impact in Ohio through the sale of equipment, fuel, food, lodging and more.

Your mother often said you were born in a barn.

That’s because it seemed like you were always going ape, laughing like a hyena and horsing around.

Surely, you drove her batty until she didn’t think she could bear another minute of you but secretly, Mom probably didn’t mind. She knew you were healthy as a horse and, really, one look at those puppy-dog eyes and your monkeyshines were always forgiven.

You were a wild child, and then you grew out of it – much to the relief of your loved ones. But in the new novel “Lone Wolf” by Jodi Picoult, Luke Warren embraced the animal in himself and in doing so, he destroyed his family.

Luke Warren never really wanted fame.

As a biologist, he never thought he’d write a book or become a TV star. Reticent, almost hermit-like, what Luke really wanted was for his research to help people understand that real wolves aren’t like the ones in fairy tales.

Wolves have a unique culture, an explicit way of communicating, and family is everything. They’re

Continued from page 1 gressional worries.

In addition, Brush believes that the long-term solution in healthcare should be shifting toward preventative care to make the nation more healthy.

Fred Kundrata, the third candidate, has been a pilot for the United States Air Force, a business owner, a pilot for Delta Air Lines and recently graduated from law school.

“I have always been yearning to serve America,” Kundrata said about why he decided to run for congress.

“I believe there is something special about America and I want to give back. I felt congress was the place for me.”

Kundrata said the biggest

B R O A D S H E E T E V E N

issue the state and nation face is debt.

“We've dug a whole so far deep it is going to take some time,” Kundrata said.

“I am not going to slash and burn a budget, we are going to have to make responsible cuts.”

He said he believes his skills in business and negotiating as well as his understanding of the law would help him get things done if elected.

“I have a broad range of skills I could take to the table to negotiate and reason with members on both sides of the aisle to lower our costs,” Kundrata said.

“That has to be first and foremost.”

Kundrata said being a fiscal conservative in Wash-

ington is one of the best ways he feels he can serve the nation right now.

The final candidate for the second congressional district is Brad Wenstrup.

Wenstrup graduated from the University of Cincinnati, earned a medical degree and is now a doctor and surgeon in Cincinnati.

“I grew up wanting to be a doctor,” he said. “But the military never left my mind.”

Wenstrup became a Lieutenant Colonel the United States Army Reserve and was deployed for a year in 2005 to serve as a combat surgeon in Iraq.

When he returned from Iraq, Wenstrup said he was concerned about the state of the country and also real-

ized he had a passion for being a leader and after much encouragement, he decided to run for office.

Wenstrup believes the main issues the state and nation face include jobs and the economy, national security and leadership.

Wenstrup believes the solution is for the government to stay out of the way of small businesses, especially when it comes to regulations.

He said people in the state have been hurt by the economic crisis. He said they need help, they need more jobs and they need a leader.

“I think people want to look at their congress person and say 'I trust you,'” Wenstrup said.

CECOS: Community meeting held with Republic Services Continued from page 1 and no one is going to monitor it,” Moore said.

“When it comes to my grandkids, I’m concerned.”

Dall said that after 30 years the EPA director at the time will decide whether he or she feels the post-closure plan needs to be extended or not.

“Even if the post-closure care plan is not extended,

the property is still owned

by Republic Services and they maintain it,” Dall said.

In addition, Jaquet explained that Republic Services has a responsibility to maintain all of the landfills they inherited in their merger with Allied Waste, including landfills that have been closed.

“We need to take care of the community and environment because we plan

to be around a long time,” Jaquet said.

County officials have expressed ongoing concerns about the post-closure plan since it was approved by the Ohio EPA in 1994. Most recently, the county submitted a petition to the to the Ohio EPA regarding the post-closure plan that was revised by Republic Services in January.

Tim Hall, CECOS proj-

ect manager for Ohio EPA, spoke at the end of the meeting about the postclosure plan and the petition.

“I felt today's presentation was a good technical evaluation of the site,” Hall said. “I know a lot of you have a lot of history with this site. There is a lot of emotion with this site.”

Hall said they reviewed the county's petition for the post-closure plan and

expect to present a final decision regarding the petition in April or May. “Do I see them walking away after 30 years and not monitoring it?” Hall asked. “Probably not.”

and invest early and often.

So, while you’re working, take full advantage of your 401(k) or other employersponsored retirement plan, as well as contribute to a traditional or Roth IRA. After understanding your desired retirement lifestyle, your financial advisor can help you determine how, and how much, to save to provide for your income in retirement.

• Planning for the unexpected — You can’t see into the future, so you’ll need to prepare for anything that comes your way.

By building an emergency fund containing six to 12 months’ worth of living expenses, you can possibly avoid dipping into your long-term investments to pay for things such as a new furnace or a

major car repair.

And planning for the unexpected also means having sufficient life insurance to provide for your family in case anything happens to you.

• Educating your children — College is already expensive — and college expenses have been rising faster than the overall rate of inflation.

If you want to help your children, or grandchildren, pay for school, you may want to invest in a college savings vehicle, such as the 529 plan.

You can contribute large amounts to a 529 plan, and earnings have the opportunity to grow tax-free, provided withdrawals are used for higher education.

(Withdrawals not used for education are subject to in-

come taxes and a 10 percent penalty.)

• Living in retirement — Once you reach retirement, your investment emphasis will shift somewhat, from accumulating resources to making them last. By working with a financial advisor, you can develop a withdrawal strategy that can help make sure you don’t outlive the income you receive from your 401(k), IRA and other sources.

At the same time, given the possible length of your retirement, you can’t ignore the need to invest for growth, so you may need to consider some growthoriented vehicles in your portfolio to help your income keep pace with inflation.

• Transferring your

wealth — When you’ve worked hard your whole life, you want to be able to leave a legacy — one that allows you to provide financial resources to the next generation and to those charitable organizations you may wish to support.

So, when it’s time to think about transferring your wealth, you’ll want to consult with your financial and legal advisors to create an estate plan that’s appropriate for your needs.

And because these plans can take significant time to create, you won’t want to wait too long to start.

So, there you have them: five key financial areas on which to focus as you travel through life.

By doing your homework, planning ahead and

getting the help you need, you can make the journey a pleasant and productive one.
