Fraternity members volunteer at Camp Allyn Fraternity members from across US are part of Build America Sun staff

Pi Kappa Phi fraternity members from across the United States made a stop in Batavia last week as part of Build America, a six week trip where members help improve recreation facilities for people with disabilities.

Build America is part of Push America, Pi Kappa Phi's non-profit organization dedicated to helping people with disabilities.

Fraternity members spent their fourth week of the 2012 Build America trip at Camp Allyn in Batavia helping build outdoor activity stations for disabled campers.

“Having Push America here is fabulous,” Jan Lippman, coordinator of recreation and leisure of overnight camps at Camp Allyn, said. “They are always professional, engaged and responsive to our campers.”

Lippman said having the fraternity members there interacting with campers brings great energy to camp and is a nice mid-summer pick-me-up for campers.

Seventeen Pi Kappa Phi members spent several days at Camp Allyn constructing a variety of outdoor recreation areas for campers.

Zach Wiles, a University of Cincinnati student who is from Cleveland, said they are helping build a six-stage playground with different “sensory stations” for campers.

“There are different stations on the trail,” Wiles said.

He said there is a pushpull station where campers can push and pull punching

bags, a sandbox station where campers can play in the sand, a merry-go-round station, a jungle gym and more.

“We started by clearing debris,” Wiles said about the project. “The second day we broke into teams and figured out projects that were a priority.”

Wiles said they wanted to complete the most labor intensive tasks first, so the things they couldn't get to would be easier for camp staff or other volunteers to complete.

The fraternity members built several structures at the various stations, installed equipment and completed concrete work.

Wiles said the projects vary from camp to camp, and at each location there are new campers and new staff to work with.

Wiles said they began the trip in Colorado and then traveled to Iowa, Missouri and now Ohio.

He said the fraternity members who are part of Build America this year met in Colorado and come from all across the United States.

Many didn't know one another before they arrived, but Wiles said they quickly develop a team relationship.

Wiles said they generally work from morning to afternoon and then in the evening they get to have dinner and hang out with the campers.

“We build stuff but that's not what we're most excited about,” Wiles said. “It's seeing the smiles on the faces of the campers. That's why I do it. I wanted to be part of something that helps them.”

said he joined the fraternity because his chapter was very involved with Push America.

He said the experience of being a part of Build America is something that is hard to describe.

“It's awesome not even to make someone's day, but make someone's year,” Hornberger said. “To let them be whatever they want to be.”

Hornberger said seeing the campers having nothing holding them back is what it is all about.

“The projects are the physical legacy we leave behind, but the reason we are here is the campers,” Hornberger said.

No police levy for New Richmond Legislation to place on ballot failed due to lack of a motion

BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff

New Richmond Village Council members have decided not to include a policy levy on the November election ballot this year.

The legislation for a levy failed due to the lack of a motion at council’s July 24 meeting.

“We knew we had a lack of support,” councilman Rich Mathews said.

Vice mayor Richard Hilt added that there were not enough council members in favor of the levy for it to pass at this time.

“We feel there is a dire need for it, but not enough support for the time limit,” Hilt said.

Mathews said they plan to re-group and hopefully be able to offer some type of police levy on the ballot next year.

Councilman Nick Wolf said he did not support passing a levy because he felt it was not the right time.

“We are not prepared now,” Wolf said about put-

ting a levy on the ballot this year.

Wolf said since they have more time, they can look at more numbers and also compare an earnings tax to a property tax and see which one residents would prefer.

“Now we will have time to talk to people,” he said.

Council members previously discussed their feelings about including a 3 mil police levy on the November ballot during a special meeting July 17.

At the meeting, council members were split down the middle about their support for a levy.

Mathews said then that he felt they should at least try to get a levy passed for the police department.

“If we don’t try we might as well make layoffs now and get it over with,” Mathews said at the time.

Wolf also expressed at the special meeting that he did not feel this year was the right time for a levy.

“I think we can get through 2013 if we use the

general fund,” Wolf said. “I think a year from now we will have much more luck.”

Hilt told council members at the special meeting that approximately $155,000 would be generated by a 3 mil levy, but council would have to vote on the levy before they could get the numbers certified by the county auditor.

New Richmond Police Chief Randy Harvey attended the special meeting July 17 and discussed why he felt there was a need for a levy.

“I want to provide a service to the village that is top notch,” Chief Harvey said.

“I can’t do that under these conditions.”

Chief Harvey said the department has been running about two police officers short, especially considering the amount of work for them to do in the village.

“This year has been extremely stressful on the officers,” Chief Harvey said.

“The village is way too busy to have one officer on a shift.”

Chief Harvey said the department is also in need of a new police car and in need of funds to repay 911 service charges.

The Ohio Department of Agriculture in collaboration with the United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, announced July 20 that the Asian longhorned beetle was discovered in Stonelick Township.

According to a press release from the ODA, the beetle was found in Stonelick Township on a property near Possum Hollow Road within the southern part of the township.

“What I can tell you is, at this point, there are only two infested trees on the property,” Rhonda Santos, public relations officer for the USDA-APHIS, said.

Santos said an adult beetle was found on the property, and the infestation was reported early last week.

She said crews are surveying the surrounding

areas to determine the extent of the infestation, and the two trees that were infested in Stonelick Township were removed July 24.

Once the extent of the infestation is evaluated, Santos said they will decide how far to expand the ALB quarantine to include additional properties near the new infestation.

State and federal officials believe the source of the infestation was firewood moved from Tate Township in 2010 prior to the current ALB quarantine being established.

“There is certainly a likelihood that infested material, such as firewood, was being moved before the regulations were in place,” Santos said.

Santos said Asian longhorned beetles are large insects and they do not prefer to fly long distances, but instead, tend to infest host

Chief Harvey agreed that it may be possible for the police department to make it through the next year without a levy, but they would not be able to improve the department or conditions and they would have to use money from the general fund.

“I could foresee that becoming an issue,” Chief Harvey said about using general fund money. “Is the general fund going to support the things I need that are coming up?”

Council members could not promise Chief Harvey that the general fund would support everything he needed during the special meeting, but they all agreed that they would support the police department any way they could.

Chief Harvey did not attend the meeting when the motion for a levy failed, but council members echoed their support for the department despite the decision not to include a levy.

“There is no doubt the police department is going to need money,” Wolf said.

“We are going to need something next year.”

Beetle: New infestation Continued from page 1 trees that are close in proximity.

She said because of these traits, when new infestations are discovered a considerable distance away it is often because infested material has been moved.

“What's happening in Ohio is similar to what has happened in other states with what we call satellite

infestations,” Santos said.

“It is not a continuous line, just an isolated population due to movement of infested material.”

Santos said there is a chance additional satellite infestations may be discovered.

“It's a word of caution to residents to report and take a look at their trees,” Santos said. “Early detection is really important.”

‘Hunger Season’ is sobering, glorious, and thought provoking You probably shouldn’t have ordered the supersize fries.

That’s what you were thinking after you finished the last of your double cheeseburger-add-bacon.

When you ordered, fries sounded good – although maybe not so many. And your soda, well, the word “small” needs redefining.

Nothing worse than cold fries, so you wadded them up with your sandwich wrapper, slurked the rest of your drink, and threw everything away.

You’ll think twice about that next time, once you’ve read “The Last Hunger Season” by Roger Thurow.

Andrew Youn is a man with seemingly unlimited energy.

Journalist Roger Thurow met the “skinny, bespectacled… geek from Minnesota ” during a snowstorm in Chicago , where Youn told Thurow about the farmers he’d met in Kenya in the early 2000s. Youn explained that Kenya’s use of ancient farming traditions led to wanjala (hunger time) and starvation because of lack of access to modern methods of planting.

Youn, an MBA student, had been pondering this, and he had an idea. Thus as born One Acre, a nonprofit program that helps sub-Saharan farmers reap higher yields from their shambas through educa-

tion, seeds, and fertilizer.

Thurow, who’d also seen poverty and starvation in Africa, was intrigued. He asked Youn if he might follow four farmers for a year, through wanjala and beyond.

As a village elder, Leonida Wanyama needed to set a good example for others, which is why she joined One Acre. She was amazed the first year at the bounty she reaped, but it wasn’t enough. Her husband, Peter, was ill and their son, Gabriel was away at school. School was very expensive: $255 a year.

Rasoa Wasike was so pleased with One Acre that she inspired several others to join. But that wasn’t Rosoa’s only endeavor; she was lucky to find other employment so her wanjala wasn’t quite so severe.

Zipporah Bikiti had jeered at neighbors who used the One Acre methods, until she saw their lush, bountiful maize fields. She was determined that this wanjala – a particularly long, terrible one – would be her family’s last.

Francis Mamati and his wife had a vision. They had three acres and their son, who owned a nearby café, had a small plot, too.

A shamba like that, properly farmed, could create dreams.

So why, you’re asking, should you read a book

“The Last Hunger Season” by Roger Thurow; c.2012, PublicAffairs; $26.99 / $30.00 Canada; 273 pages

about a bunch of miniature farms half a world away?

Maybe you won’t want to… but I was blown away by it.

“The Last Hunger Season” is, indeed, about four Kenyan farmers and the last time each had little more than tea to feed their families from January through June. But in telling their stories, the politics behind fixing what’s wrong, and the triumph of success, author Roger Thurow also gives his readers a huge lesson in gratitude: chances are you have food, and this

book never lets you forget that.

I think you’re going to like “The Last Hunger Season,” just don’t be surprised if it makes you a little uncomfortable. Still, if you want something that’s sobering, glorious, and thought-provoking, this book is super-sized.

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.

STEVE BOEHME The lack of rainfall this season makes it a challenge to garden. Newly planted shrubs, perennials and trees have struggled to get established, with temperatures in the 90’s and drying winds. Vegetable plants are struggling and garden productivity is down.

Vegetable gardeners know that even short periods of dryness will permanently stunt some plants, limit fruit size, and cause plants to bolt or go dormant too soon. Landscape plants will thrive much better with well-timed watering. Lasting damage can occur when leaves and stems wilt.

Proper watering is the most important part of gardening. Many people simply depend on the rain for watering, but even normal rainfall isn’t always enough to sustain newlyinstalled plants accustomed to daily watering in the nursery, or vegetable plants that are actively growing. Timing is everything, and rainfall can’t be counted on to get the timing right. An inch of rain just wets the surface and still the roots can be bone dry.

Until they grow new roots, newly-installed plants need regular watering as often as once a day.

When you plant new plants always shape the soil around the plant into a bowl or well to hold water close to the plant. The bigger the plant the larger the well should be. This keeps the water from running off before it has a chance to

soak into the roots. Now simply fill the bowl once or twice a week.

Established plants need attention during drought.

Even if they can survive without watering, plants and trees will benefit from occasional deep-root soaking. Drought causes stress that invites insect and disease problems, some of which don’t show up until years afterward. Regular watering helps keep plants and trees growing. Flower and fruit the following spring will be much better with regular watering, and so will fall color.

Mulch helps keep the soil moist by keeping the sun off the soil but it can soak up gallons of water by itself. Trees with large mulch circles don’t have to compete with lawn grasses for water. You can deeproot water established trees with soaker hoses, “TreeGator” water bags or simple buckets with small holes punched in the bottom. Setting a hose to “trickle” water in the root zone overnight works very well for large trees. We use a simple cast-iron sprinkler

called the “Pound of Rain” to soak a wide area, watering at night so water won’t evaporate and be wasted.

This works very well for lawns, shrubs and perennial beds, and we sell it in our store.

If you’ve invested lots of money and hard work in your landscape, don’t begrudge your plants the water they need to get through this time of drought. A few dollars spent for water will protect your investment, a small cost compared with replacing established plants.

When choosing new plants for your landscape, look for “xeriscape” plants that will tolerate drought.

Within a marriage, a man and a woman’s financial circumstances are generally pretty much equal.

But if a divorce occurs, the woman’s situation tends to be somewhat more challenging than that of her exspouse. And that’s why, during this major life transition, you may want to meet with a professional financial advisor to go over your spending needs and your cash flow, so that you know what you absolutely need today — and how you can plan for tomorrow.

Before we get into some possible steps you can take, let’s look at some of the reasons that women may fare worse than men, financially speaking, following a divorce: • Lower income — The average woman’s family income drops by 37% after divorce, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. In many cases, divorce exacerbates a situation in which women were already trailing men in earnings. In fact, women still only earn 77 cents for each dollar earned by men, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

• Smaller retirement accounts — The average balance on women’s defined contribution plans (such as 401(k) plans) is only 60% of men’s average balances, according to LIMRA, a financial services research organization.

Of course, “averages” are just that — averages.

But whether you recognize yourself in the above numbers or not, consider these suggestions: • Create an emergency

fund. Try to put six months’ to a year’s worth of living expenses in a liquid account. Once you’ve established this emergency fund, you won’t have to dip into long-term investments to pay for unexpected costs, such as an expensive car repair, a new furnace or a large medical bill.

• Contribute as much as you can afford to your retirement accounts. Even if you will eventually receive some of your ex-spouse’s retirement funds, you need to take full advantage of your own savings opportunities — because it’s pretty hard to save “too much” for retirement. If money is tight, it won’t always be easy, but contribute as much as you can to your 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored retirement plan. At a minimum, put in enough to earn the employer’s match, if one is offered.

• Rebalance your investment portfolio. If you are now investing for yourself, you’ll want to take a close look at your asset mix to make sure it is appropriate for your situation. For example, your risk tolerance may be quite different than that of your

ex-spouse’s. So if you now have total control over an investment portfolio, you need to make sure it reflects your needs and preferences.

Consequently, you may need to “rebalance” your holdings.

• Above all, get some help. As mentioned above, now is a good time to meet with a financial advisor.

And if you don’t have much experience in managing your finances, you may even find it helpful to work with a trust company, which can collaborate with your financial provider to manage your assets and also provide a variety of other functions, including bill payment and record keeping. A trust company’s services can prove especially valuable to you and your family should you ever become incapacitated.

Unfortunately, a divorce may leave you feeling “at sea” in many areas of your life. But by following the above suggestions, you can at least help keep your financial ship in calmer waters.

Lifelong learning promotes good health for the body, mind and soul

Clermont Senior Services Offer a Variety of Opportunities

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

Lifelong learning covers the whole range of learning. That includes formal and informal learning and workplace learning. It also includes the skills, knowledge, attitudes and behaviors that people acquire in their day-to-day experiences.

Everybody knows that physical exercise is important, but exercising the brain is critical to a healthy lifestyle too.

Regardless of age, an active brain produces new dendrites, which are connections between nerve cells that allow these cells to communicate with one another. This helps you to retrieve information more easily-at any age.

Clermont Senior Services publishes four lifelong learning catalogs annually for the mature adult who thrives on the continuous need to learn.

Union Township, Miami Township and East Clermont (Bethel) Centers offer a broad range of activities, events and day trips for the active senior. The catalog has lots of curb appeal, the prices are right, the instructors are qualified and you are guaranteed a great time.

Day trips are affordable since CSS provides transportation at an economy price. This fall will be an exciting season for trips.

Thursday September 13th senior will tour the Sisters of Charity Motherhouse and Chapel. This one-hour tour highlights the art room, the chapel and the Clifford Bird Observatory. Lunch is at “Crave” on the Banks in downtown Cincinnati.

On Thursday October 4th, Rick Crawford, county history expert, will capture your attention with his paranormal stories and tour of haunted Clermont County.

This trip includes a stop for lunch at Andouille’s of New Richmond.

Friday October 26th, enjoy a trip to Music Hall to see the ballet’s performance of “Alice in Wonderland” with lunch at Belgium Bistro. The final trip is

also a fine arts day for participants to see the Cincinnati Ballet perform “The New Nutcracker” with lunch at Local 127 on Vine.

In September, Helen Fisher, Home Repair Coordinator for CSS, will be at the East Clermont Center to speak on the home repair services offered

by Clermont Senior Services. In November, the Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP) is scheduled at all three centers. This is the time for Medicare updates and to have your prescription plan assessed.

If crafting is your forte, East Clermont is hosting a Handmade Christmas Gift workshop to learn how to make soaps and lotions from goat milk. Miami Township has scheduled their annual Holiday Open House.

Participants may make an arrangement from a Christmas stocking or trim a tree to decorate any table.

Union Township offers a snowman basket weaving class, just in time for the holidays, to hold your Christmas cards or a sprig of pine.

Computer classes are available as well for the senior who wants to set up a Facebook account, an email account or just learn basic computer skills. These are 2-hour classes. Computers are available or you can bring in your own laptop.

For more information or to make a reservation, please call Union Township at 947-7333 or you can check out the 2012 fall catalog and monthly calendars at www.clermontseniors.com. The fall catalog will be available in mid-August.

The Importance of Lifelong Learning Wikipedia defines Lifelong learning as the continuous building of skills and knowledge throughout the life of an individual. It occurs through experiences encountered in the course of a lifetime.

These experiences could be formal (train-

ing, counseling, tutoring, mentorship, apprenticeship, higher education, etc.) or informal (experiences, situations, etc.) Lifelong learning, also known as LLL, is the “lifelong, voluntary, and self-motivated” pursuit of knowledge for either personal or professional reasons.

Why is Lifelong Learning so important?

Lifelong learning can be socially invigorating while also improving memory and cognitive abilities. Activities such as volunteering can be a learning experience while making the life of the volunteer meaningful and at the same time offering benefits to society. Lifelong learning allows us to continue to use our minds, one of our most important “muscles” we often forget to exercise as we age!

As part of the Rush Memory and Aging Project conducted in Chicago, a study of more than 1,200 elders, participants underwent cognitive testing for up to five years. The study revealed that cognitively active elders, whose average age was 80, were 2.6 times less likely to develop dementia and Alzheimer’s disease than those who were cognitively inactive.

Stimulating the brain by simply visiting a museum or attending a concert, for example, can increase the number of brain cells and connections between brain cells. Physical exercise improves blood flow to the brain, encouraging development of new brain cells.

Henry Ford once said “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty.

Anyone who keeps learning stays young.

The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.”

Making a Joyful Noise is Healthy Clermont Senior Services is proud of the center entertainment groups that visit nursing facilities monthly to brighten the day of others. These volunteers that represent the agency, put personal time and effort into their entertaining roles, and get great satisfaction from performing for others.

The Miami Township Kitchen Band, which started 25 years ago, is led by pianist Randy Henn and is followed by 20 percussion instruments that you may find in your kitchen. You can hear in the background washboards, spoons, cans, tubs, graters, pots and pans. New routines are implemented with the change of seasons or to honor a holiday, but you just know the songs that you hear are old time favorites you will be toe tapping, singing or clapping to.

Most people don’t know the preparation and practice time that goes into the production of one routine or just one song. Most routines take at least 4-6 weeks to master as these talents thrive on perfection. To book a performance or to join this zany group, call Lori Malpass at 248-4345.

The Williamsburg Golden Bells Choir meet monthly to practice and to perform at area nursing homes.

Heavenly chimes permeate throughout the facilities they are play-

ing in and looks of delight can be observed from the audience.

Bobbie Blevins is the conductor and contact person for the choir and you can reach her at 685-2355 to schedule the bells or to join the group.

Without social groups, individuals may feel lonely, depressed, or disconnected from

society. Individuals may miss out on opportunities to meet other likeminded people who share common interests. The Kitchen Band and the Golden Bell Choir have been around for many years, lots of happy memories have been made and many long lasting friendships have been established, too.

Seniors on a Clermont Senior Service day trip have a great time!

The art of basket weaving goes back 10, 000 years and still classes are taught at the Lifelong Learning centers.

The pros and cons of having exotic pets When most people think about exotic pets they think about animals like snakes, lizards, tropical birds and wild animals.

Before you buy an exotic pet you need to consider the pros and cons of caring for exotic animals as it related to both you and the animal.

Pros of Having Exotic Pets The most obvious pro of having an exotic pet is that they are unusual and unique. Many people like exotic pets because they are the only one in their neighborhood that has one.

Exotic pets are also very interesting to interact with and in some cases they can produce very intense interactions.

Another advantage of having exotic pets is that you may be the animal's last chance for a good home.

If the animal has lost their territory because of civilization encroachment or if they were previously kept by people that were not caring for the animal properly and you have the expertise and appreciation of the animal to give it a good home, then the animal is probably better off with you.

Cons of Having Exotic Pets There are a few good reasons to have exotic pets, but there are also many cons to having exotic animals as pets.

Many exotic pets are taken from the wild, often in less than humane ways.

This causes the animal, in certain situations, extreme stress and trauma.

Another drawback of keeping exotic pets is that they require very specific care to stay healthy and happy.

Many people that purchase exotic pets, like lizards and tropical birds, don't understand this and as a result the pets die or become very ill. This leads to another con of keeping exotic pets, lack of knowledgeable veterinary care for specific exotic species.

Since most local veterinarians only deal with domesticated animals or farm animals, many do not have the experience required to deal with health and husbandry issues that exotic pets may develop.

DR. DAN MEAKIN ALL CREATURES ANIMAL HOSPITAL

a good candidate for an exotic pet.

If you are buying an exotic pet to be cool or if you are buying one on a whim then you need to take a step back for and really think about the purchase and make sure it is right for you and for the animal.

At All Creatures, we are passionate about exotic animal health.

Many species pass through our doors. You may not even be able to name them all, but to us they’re just as familiar as cats and dogs. We proudly offer experienced care from check-ups to surgery for just about any animal that you call a friend.

However, we don’t want these pets to fall into the wrong owner or home.

Feel free to check out our ‘Exotics’ page on our website. There you will find Exotic Pet Care Guides for many species and we will be adding more on a regular basis.

“This is a great county; it’s a peaceful county. We don’t want to ever get to a point where gunshots are routinely heard outside our homes. That is not the quality of life we expect in Clermont County,” said Doug Ventre, narcotics unit commander at the Clermont County Sheriff’s Office.

After 30 years leading the Cincinnati Police Department SWAT team and working on terrorism

awareness and prevention, Ventre said he is impressed with the quality of life Clermont County offers and how local law enforcement work together to make sure it stays that way.

Ventre said Cincinnati and Hamilton County efforts to drive violent criminals out of those communities have forced the criminals to come knocking on the doors of nearby communities, like

Clermont County.

“They are looking for new places to set up shop,” he said. “They can just move on, because they are not welcome here.”

The commander has noticed that inner-city problems like gun violence, drugs, and even bedbugs are resulting from the attempted efforts by criminals to infiltrate this community.

“The western part of the county is most impacted, because someone opened the door to the criminals,” he said. “The law abiding citizens are not at risk because victims are usually those who are involved in the same type of illegal activity. However, a bullet doesn’t stop until it hits something; that could be an

innocent person.”

“We don’t have a serious drug problem like many other communities, but heroin is here and we are working hard to shut off that pipeline,” he said.

“Heroin is a highly addictive drug that is tough to fight. Addicts come from all segments of our population; yes, heroin addicts can come from otherwise great families.”

He said that members of the community are the best weapon law enforcement has in the battle against crime.

“If you see something strange in your neighborhood, let us know,” said Ventre. “You identity will be kept confidential. Together, we will win the war against violent criminals.”
