Nature Center celebrates the winter solstice were plenty of activities for both children and adults at the event. Pat Burt, of Anderson Township, said she came out with her family to hear Christmas music, take a walk and enjoy the solstice celebration. Activities throughout the day included a scavenger hunt, percussion instrument decorating, bulb planting, horse-drawn wagon rides, performances by the West Clermont By Request choir and the Celtic band Dark Moll, a winter solstice presentation and more. “It’s definitely a family event,” Maeve Pickus, an intern at CNC, said. “I like that it is a different event around Christmas.” Tim O’Connor, and event speaker for CNC and Connie O’Connor, education director for CNC, presented information about the winter solstice and its history to guests several times throughout the day. The presentation explained that on the day of winter sol-

The Cincinnati Nature Center held it’s annual Winter Solstice Celebration at Rowe Woods Dec. 19 and celebrated the meaning of winter solstice, which coincides with many holidays. “It started with our founders,” Kristi Masterson, director of marketing and membership at CNC, said about the celebration. “It was their way to have a Christmas celebration.” Masterson said the celebration began as an annual party, but has morphed into a community event where dozens of families come to enjoy holiday festivities and celebrate nature. “We come every year,” Sonia Kwiatkowski, a CNC member from Loveland, said. “It just gives us a chance to be outside enjoying nature, and the kids get to experience all the nature center has to offer.” Kwiatkowski was one of many parents who brought their children to the Winter Solstice Celebration, and there

Richards struck the left side of Brewster’s van and went off the left side of the road. As he went off the road he struck Jim Bushman, who was walking his garbage can to the end of the driveway at the time. Richards came to a stop when he struck a tree. Richards, Brewster and Richards’ two passengers Patricia Kearney, 19, of Amelia, and Joshua Masterson, 20, of Cincinnati were all taken to the hospital. Brewster, Kearney and Masterson were treated and released the same day, while

Soldier: Home from Iraq Continued from page 1 “We're pulling out of Iraq so I got to come home, so that is nice,” Sgt. Kleimeyer said. “My family was especially happy I got to come home early.” Sgt. Kleimeyer said he moved to Clermont County when he was 5-years-old. He graduated from Glen Este in 1997 and received his associate degree from the University of Cincinnati Clermont. He joined the army in 2002. Sgt. Kleimeyer was deployed to Iraq in April of this year, and it was his first deployment. He served in Iraq as a financial manager, and he was in charge of payroll and making sure all of the soldiers received their paychecks. And while Sgt. Kleimeyer said he spent most of his time in a secure facility, and knew what he was getting into when he was deployed, he said he grew accustomed to frequent attacks on the base. “These guys know our calendar,” he said. “If it was a holiday you knew you were getting hit.” He said he remembers attacks on Memorial Day the

Fourth of July and more. He said they began to expect it. While in Iraq, he also frequently received care packages. He said family, friends, and community members sent packages when he was away, mostly with treats. He said people from the county were constantly checking in to see if he needed anything. “They were nice in that you know someone is thinking about you,” Sgt. Kleimeyer said about the packages. And while he said he appreciated the support from those back home, he also said support for the families of soldiers is just as important. “It's really harder, I think, for the people back home than it is for us,” Sgt. Kleimeyer said. He said for those serving, they are able to focus on the job they have to do, while family members back home are the ones who worry about what is going on. Tracy Braden, president of The Thank You Foundation, was able to relate to this, as her son, Matt, is currently serving in Iraq. She spoke about the importance of com-

Kleimeyer for his service to the country. “From a mom's perspective, support from this community is very strong,” she said. “Thank you so much for your service. It is very much appreciated.” Sheriff Tim Rodenberg and Frank Morrow of the Clermont County Veterans' Service Commission also thanked Sgt. Kleimeyer and presented him with challenge coins. Gertrud Whitaker was also present to thank Sgt. Kleimeyer on behalf of congresswoman Jean Schmidt. Sgt. Kleimeyer said now that he is home he will be spending time with his wife Erin and three children, Alex, 15, Jacob, 9, and Lilly, 6. He also plans to attend the University of Cincinnati to obtain his bachelor's degree. He said he was not expecting to be recognized for his service. “It was really a big surprise,” Sgt. Kleimeyer said. “I didn't expect even half of this.”

more than 5,000 years ago. According to Tim O'Connor, ancient people marked the seasons and learned how to mark the solstices for survival. Starvation was common between January and April, and winter solstice served as a marker for the colder months so the people could prepare themselves. They celebrated solstice by enjoying some of the food they collected, as well as wine and beer that had been fermenting and was ready to drink. Eventually, these rituals became traditions celebrated during solstice, and many are similar to the traditions celebrated today during the holiday season. The solstice celebration at the nature center included some of these traditions, and especially focused on linking the solstice celebration with nature. And whether families came to enjoy the outdoors, create a gift for a loved-one, listen to holiday music or learn more about the nature center, they were part of a growing tradition at CNC. “It’s just really a lot of fun,” Masterson said.

Charges Continued from page 1 Richards remained in the hospital for multiple days. Sergeant Kevin Long of the Ohio State Highway Patrol said they would likely file charges after the investigation was complete. Charges were filed against Richards Dec. 7. Once released from the hospital, Richards appeared before Judge Robert Lamb for a bond hearing. According to Clermont County Assistant Prosecutor Woody Breyer, Richards' bond was increased from $250,000 to $500,000 at the hearing, and he also pleaded not guilty to the charge. Breyer also said a visiting judge has taken over the case because many of the Clermont County judges knew Jim Bushman. Richards remains in Clermont County Jail and Breyer said he is scheduled to appear for a pre-trial hearing 10 a.m. Dec. 29 at the Clermont County Municipal Court.

Time to make your New Year’s financial resolutions Once again, it’s time to make some New Year’s resolutions. This year, in addition to hitting the gym, learning that second language and getting better organized, why not also consider a few financial resolutions? What types of resolutions might you consider? Here are a few suggestions: • Contribute more to your retirement accounts. The new year means that you are one year closer to retirement. To help yourself build resources for the lifestyle you’ve envisioned as a retiree, try to boost your contributions to your 401(k) or other employersponsored retirement plan. You can do this if you get a salary increase and devote at least part of it to your 401(k). At the same time, try to “max out” on your Individual Retirement Account (IRA). For 2012, you can contribute up to $5,000 to an IRA, or $6,000 if you’re 50 or older. • Reduce your debts. Look for ways to cut down or consolidate your debts. It may not be easy, but it’s worth the effort because the lower your debt load, the more money you’ll have available to invest for the future. • Build an emergency fund. If you don’t already have an emergency fund containing between six and 12 months’ worth of living expenses, start building one soon. Keep the money in a liquid vehicle — one that’s separate from your everyday checking and savings accounts. Without such an emergency fund, you may be forced to dip into your long-term investments to pay for unexpected costs, such as a major car repair, a new furnace or a large medical bill. • Don’t overreact to volatility. In 2011, the financial markets have been volatile, with big gains followed by big

drops followed by big gains — a true roller-coaster pattern. Try not to let large, short-term price movements influence your investment decisions. Many of the factors that cause jumps or declines are not that relevant to long-term results — and as an investor, you want to focus on the long term. Concentrate on building a portfolio that’s suitable for your individual goals and risk tolerance. • Be aware of different types of risk. For many investors, “investment risk” strictly means the possibility of losing principal when the value of an investment drops. Consequently, to cut back on their risk in the face of a volatile market, they may sell off stocks and load up on certificates of deposit (CDs), bonds and other so-called “safer” investments. But each investment actually carries its own type of risk. For example, if you own CDs that pay a 2

percent return, and the inflation rate is 3 percent, you will lose purchasing power over time. And if you wanted to sell your bonds before they had matured, you’d have to sell them at a discount if the market interest rate had risen above the “coupon” rate of your bond because no one would pay you full price for them. Just be aware that no investment is “risk-free,” and try to build a diversified portfolio that can lessen the impact of one specific type of risk. By following these suggestions, you can go a long way toward making 2012 a good year in which to make progress toward your important financial goals. So plan ahead — and make the right moves.

Keep active and beat the winter doldrums

B R O A D S H E E T

Shorter daylight hours along with ice and snow, or just the unpredictable winter weather, can cause seniors to be less active or can bring about seasonal affective disorder. Since Jack Frost and his North Winds keep people indoors, winter offers the perfect opportunity to learn new hobbies and pursue old ones. Like to sew, start a new quilt. If you don’t sew, quilting is an ageless craft. A person is never too old to learn how to quilt. Call a

seamstress friend to help you make a quilted wall hanging or child-size quilt. If you are a quilter, consider piecing, mounting and donating one to your favorite charity, church or civic group for their next bazaar or raffle. Photography and scrapbooking are two hobbies many seniors like, however, some seniors may need to learn 21st century techniques. If you are still using a film camera, take the big

step into the age of digital photography. Inquire at your local camera or hobby store, community college or vocational school to see if they offer photography classes. Be sure that the classes or seminars also discuss how to use the computer to edit photographs. Scrapbooking also has taken on a new twist through the years. “Scrapping” workshops have a two-fold benefit: to teach seniors how to scrap-

book and to give those who are experienced an opportunity to work on their scrapbooks. One suggestion is to make scrapbooks utilizing photographs starting with your childhood through the present day. These will make perfect history scrapbooks to give to your children and grandchildren. Many seniors have used computers at the office or on the job, yet they may not know of the benefits beyond that. Check your local newspaper or call your local school district to see if computer classes are offered in your community. If you love theater and participated while in school or professionally, why not start a senior theater group? Your local community cen-

ter or high school theater/auditorium may be the perfect place to hold auditions, practice and perform. Search “Plays for Active Senior Theater Groups” in your favorite search engine. To cover expenses, charge a nominal fee and invite not only your family members but also residents in your local community. Consider having a matinee performance for local nursing home and assisted living facilities. Your Clermont County library branches host monthly book clubs. You and your friends may want to start your own. Each member can suggest four or five books to compile into a voting ballot where each member votes on 12 books (one for each month), and

the top 12 are the featured books for reading. Another suggestion is for members to sign up to host the book club and choose the book for their assigned month. The host/hostess also can be the group leader and initiate the book discussion. Lifelong Learning Centers sponsored by Clermont Senior Services, offer dozens of enrichment programs, including: painting, yoga, line dancing, flower arranging, day trips, and basketball and volleyball games. For information on the centers, call 947-7333.

Some of the above information is taken from the December issue of “Creative Forecasting”.

Coping with grief at the holidays Christmas is a time that most people look forward to with a sense of heightened expectations of family, friends and fun. But for some, the approaching holidays are a time of dread and dismay. Even after the holidays have passed, a sense of loss may continue. Holiday blues are normal after the loss of a loved one, and different from depression. With holiday blues, feelings may be intense and unsettling, especially if the people around you are full of holiday cheer. But these feelings are short-lived, lasting only a few days to a few weeks. There are physical symptoms that go along with the blues, such as headaches, insomnia, hypersomnia (sleeping too much), change in appetite, anxiety, diminished ability to think clearly, and decreased interest in activities that usually bring pleasure. As a general rule of thumb, if symptoms last more than two weeks or if they worsen, see your doc-

tor. It may be depression. Finding ways to keep your loved one's memory alive can help reduce stress. Try to begin a new tradition such as lighting a memory candle or putting a fresh flower on the table - not to make you feel guilty, but to remind you to be happy for the life you shared. You loved them when they died, and you always will. Experts offer the following suggestions for coping with holiday blues. Be realistic. There will be pain, especially when there is an empty chair at the table, but don't try to block bad moments. Be ready for them, deal with them, and let go of them. Anticipation is often worse than reality. If you feel lonely, get out and be around people. Consider volunteering. Giving and caring for others is a healing thing to do for yourself. Pace yourself. Don't take on more activities than you can reasonably handle. Be kind to yourself. Leave the word "ought" out of the holi-

days. Take care of yourself physically. Hold on to your pocketbook and charge cards. You can't spend grief away, though you might be tempted to try. Work at lifting depression. Take responsibility for yourself. You cannot wait for someone else to wrap up some joy and give it to you. You have to do that for yourself. Sometimes family members try to pretend that nothing has changed and the holiday traditions should go on as usual. The truth is there is a big change. Holidays will never be the same again, but they can still be enjoyable. Each person grieves in their own way and they need to be free to make their own decisions. Look for joy in the moment. Learn to celebrate what you have instead of making mental lists of what you're missing. What helps one day may not help another. If you have had a loss in your life and would like someone to talk to, please call 724-1255.

Every year, there’s another candle. You remember a time when you got excited about it. Another flame on your birthday cake meant that you were getting big, growing up, not a baby anymore. Each candle was one year closer to Big Kid status. Then one day, you stopped counting candles. Who needed to be reminded about growing older, anyhow? But what if a single cake wasn’t enough to hold all the birthday candles you’d need? Could it be possible to need one more cake – or two? In the new book “100+: How the Coming Age of Longevity Will Change Everything, From Careers and Relationships to Family and Faith” by Sonia Arrison, you’ll find out. For as long as humans have been dying, humanity has searched for ways to rationalize it. Mythology and religion are filled with immortals, for instance. Literature gave us Dr. Faust, Dr. Frankenstein, struldbrugs, and vampires. But technology is giving us a sort of longevity that our ancestors, with their 42-year lifespans, could only dream about… Modern medical and technological advances now make it possible to regenerate body parts, cure or eliminate disease, slow aging processes, and reverse bodily wear-and-tear. We manipulate genes and mess with cells, which all points to the tantalizing possibility that we can live healthy lives at double our current longevity. But if reaching 150 or 170 years old is possible – if becoming a centenarian-plus is common – what implications will that have on society? Not much, says Arrison. Overpopulation, she says, comes from births, not deaths – and studies prove that the more educated a society is, the lower the birth rate. If we’re living longer, we would have time and desire for that education. Workplaces would change

because we’d also have time for second, third, even fourth careers, as well as multigenerational mentoring. Families would change, too, and reproduction would see a revolution. Spacedapart children could be 50-70 years younger than their siblings and the “road to adulthood” could lengthen by decades. Even faith, says Arrison, would change. If there’s no imminent afterlife in our lives, it may “affect our motivation to connect with God…” So you could stick around to see your great-times-10grandchildren. But would you want to? If you agree with author Sonia Arrison’s vision of aged utopia, you might… but what she says may alternately terrify you, too. What Arrison presents here is not found amongst the clouds: she offers rock-solid research and hard facts, along with a few leaps to conclusions that make sense. She’s obviously enthusiastic in what she writes, but there were times when her musings sounded a little too rosy to me and her Land of Milk and Honey seemed like it could quickly curdle and sour. But that’s what I absolutely adore about books like this: they make me think about the possibilities, both good and bad. Needless to say, “100+” isn’t la-la-light reading; it’s deep and deeply fascinating. If you want something that will tickle your imagination with enticing what-ifs, in fact, then nothing could hold a candle to this book.

Get your car started during frigid weather

It's a common problem: A driver goes to his or her car on a cold winter's morning, puts the key in the ignition, only to discover the car engine won't turn over. Cold weather can wreak havoc on a car's performance. For an engine to start, a complicated process involving several essential components must go off without a hitch. When the key is turned in a car, that turn causes a spark to take place in the spark plugs. This then ignites the fuel and oxygen mixture present in the engine. When the air temperature is cold, the chemical combustion taking place in the engine may be compromised. That's because all chemical reactions slow down when it is cold. Combine this with a cold battery that has also slowed down due to the temperature and, as a result, won't crank the engine very efficiently, and starting the engine is suddenly very difficult. One of the remedies to this situation is to keep the engine as warm as possible. It can take 8 to 12 hours for an auto engine to cool down after the vehicle has been driven. So parking the car in a garage and out of the wind can help keep the heat in longer and prevent cold start problems. That's because wind does not cause the heat from the engine to dissipate as quickly. Another thing to try that can help engines perform better in the cold weather is a lower viscosity motor oil, which will flow more easily.

Plan for safe winter driving

Thanks to global climate change, many of the weather patterns we've grown accustomed to in the past are no longer the norm today. It seems much of the country experiences shorter than normal days of moderate spring and fall weather, with seasons simply switching from scorching sun one moment to chilly temperatures and snow the next. That means it's never too early to take a refresher course in preparing for safe winter driving. Winter weather takes all of the usual road hazards and steps them up a notch. Slippery roadways, congestion, road rage, pedestrian traffic -- all of these situations seem magnified when the weather is poor and daylight is waning. Although winter driving may be frustrating, there are ways to prepare for the season and prevent accidents and injuries.

Prepare It's important to check that a vehicle is in top shape before the cold weather sets in. Pay special attention to the tires. If tires are bald or their wear is signficant, that could prove hazardous on weather-slicked roads. Have tires replaced before the first snowfall. The same can be said when switching from regular performance tires to allweather or snow tires. Be sure to change all of the tires on the car, even if it is just a front-wheel drive vehicle. Now is the time to also get a tune-up on the vehicle. Cold weather can make it hard for a car to perform at its best, and any problems should be eliminated before they spiral out of control. Be sure to top off any fluids in the

car, especially windshield washer fluid you might need to improve visibility during a storm. Check the function of wiper blades and change them if they aren't up to snuff. Consult with a mechanic to find out if it is adviseable to switch

motor oil viscosity during the winter to improve flow through the engine and help with cold start turnover.

It also helps to stock up on supplies should you get stranded or stuck: - snow shovel - scraper/brush - tire chains - flashlight (with extra batteries) - abrasive material, like cat litter, sand, or salt - jumper cables - flares or reflective triangles - brightly colored cloth to signal for help - empty water-tight container with candles, matches or lighter, bottled water, and a snack - sleeping bags or blankets, ski caps, and mittens - first-aid supplies

Skidding How best to maneuver a car when it starts to skid depends on how the vehicle handles. If the rear wheels skid, turn the steering wheel, and subsequently the front wheels, in the same direc-

tion of the skid. If the front wheels skid, take your foot off the gas and shift to neutral. Don't try to steer immediately; the skid may slow, and traction could return. Then you can steer in the direction you want to go and put the car back into drive. Keep in mind that even with expert maneuvering it can be tricky to recover from a skid on ice. Snow tires are not infallible and may be ineffective on icy roadways. Leaving Space One of the best things a person can do when driving in winter weather is to slow down and add much more room for reacting to roadway conditions. Driving slowly and braking slowly may help to prevent skids. Also, should a skid occur, having more room between you and another

vehicle helps you to maneuver elsewhere or come to a stop without causing an accident. When visibility is poor, leaving extra room means you can react if something suddenly veers into the path of the car or you missed seeing it through the snow and sleet. Stranded or Stuck Should the car break down or it becomes stuck in the snow, there are some things you can do. Be sure to steer or push the car to a safe location, if possible. Put up warning flares or triangles so that you are visible and leave the four-way flashers on if the battery is operable. You can try "rocking" the car, by putting it in drive and hitting the gas, then in reverse and pressing on the accelerator to create a valley in the snow that might free the car. Use your abrasive material to provide traction. You can also attempt to shovel out the tires. If the car is inoperable, stay in the vehicle out of harm's way and call for help on a mobile phone. Leave a window cracked open if you will be running the engine for periodic heat. The National Safety Council says that you can run the engine for heat about once every hour, or every half hour in severe cold. Be sure to clean snow from around the end of the tail pipe to prevent carbon monoxide buildup. For extra heat, don blankets or a sleeping bag to prevent hypothermia. Driving in winter conditions can be exhausting and hazardous. Being prepared for common scenarios decreases risk of accidents.

Navigate icy roads safely

Winter roads are rarely safe. Motorists who live in areas of heavy snowfall know full well the dangers of driving in the snow, while drivers who don't routinely drive on snowy roads might face slick and icy conditions as winter hits full swing. Regardless of the obstacles a motorist faces in the winter, defensive driving is always the safest approach to take. Defensive driving involves anticipating potential dangers on the road, and those dangers include harsh weather conditions. Though some regions never get any snow, most places where winters get cold do experience icy roads. To be safe on icy roads this winter, consider the following tips. * Leave several car lengths between cars. Drivers who normally prefer one car length between their vehicle and the one in front of them should maintain at least three car lengths when the roads are icy. Ice is often difficult to see, much less predict, so it's safer to leave significant distances between vehicles in case an ice patch causes a car to spin out of control. * Decrease speeds. Most people walk gingerly on ice, and the same should go for driving on ice. Driving at lower speeds is ideal in any harsh weather conditions, but especially valuable when the roads are icy and ice patches can appear suddenly and make it difficult to maintain control of a vehicle. * Don't use overdrive or cruise control. Overdrive might help in a snow-

storm, but should be avoided when the roads are icy. The same goes for cruise control, which should never be turned on when conditions are icy. Cruise control makes it easy for motorists' minds to wander, a dangerous consequence should an icy patch of road suddenly appear. * When you have to brake, do so gently. Icy roads call for gently braking to avoid skidding. Drivers should be able to feel if their wheels are starting to lock up. If

wheels begin to lock up, gently ease off the brake. Slamming on the brakes on an icy road will almost certainly send the vehicle into a tailspin, possibly pushing it into oncoming traffic or even off the road. * Drive carefully on any bridges or overpasses. Warning signs accompany many bridges, informing motorists that the bridge freezes in icy conditions. But motorists shouldn't rely solely on signs to inform them of a potentially frozen bridge. The sign might not be visible in win-

pace, but drivers should never pass plows or salt trucks. The roads ahead of plows and trucks are likely in poor condition, and visibility from plows and trucks is often less than ideal, meaning the drivers might not see passing motorists, increasing the risk of a traffic accident. * Don't be overconfident. Not all vehicles can adequately handle icy roadways. When the roads are especially icy, only drive if it's absolutely necessary. Should the

local weatherperson forecast an ice storm in the coming days, visit the grocery store and stock up on food just in case the road conditions are too poor for driving. Don't rely on the local pizza man to deliver, as there's no guarantee his car will be able to handle the roads, either. * Maintain a clean windshield. Ice patches are difficult enough to see as it is, but a dirty windshield only decreases the already limited visibility. Keep a bottle of windshield washer fluid at the ready and don't simply rely on the fluid already in the vehicle's windshield fluid tank. In especially icy conditions, that fluid might freeze or ice may block the fluid from leaving the tank. * Turn your lights on. Turn your headlights on when driving in icy conditions, even if it's the middle of the day. Motorists will no doubt be paying close attention to the road, looking for ice patches or other potential pitfalls. But drivers may be apt to see another vehicle if its headlights are on and will likely drive accordingly. When the roads are icy, motorists should only drive if it's absolutely necessary. If the situation calls for driving on an icy road, remember these defensive driving tactics.

Routine auto service more important than ever

Car care extends the life of your vehicle and can prevent minor problems from growing into much more expensive issues. Worn brake pads, if ignored, can escalate into more costly rotor repairs. A "check-engine" light may signal something as minor as the need to replace an inexpensive oxygen sensor. But if ignored, costly damage to the catalytic converter can ensue. Nor should service intervals be ignored. Failure to change out the engine's timing belt according to the owners manual's schedule can result in major engine damage if the belt fails. Must less dramatic are routine things such as scheduled oil changes, replacing dirty filters, or simply paying attention to tire pressure. These seemingly minor services help you get better gas mileage. ASE -- the group that tests and certifies automotive technicians -- offers the following tips on locating a good repair shop: * Start shopping for a repair facility before you need one. * Ask your friends and associates for recommendations; consult local consumer groups. * Arrange for transportation so you will not choose a shop based merely on location. * Look for a well-organized facility, with vehicles in the parking lot equal in value to your own and modern equipment in the service bays. * The staff should be courteous and willing to answer your questions. * Look for policies on estimated repair costs, diagnostic fees, guarantees, and methods of payment. * Look for signs of professionalism such as civic, community or customer service awards. * Look for evidence of qualified technicians: trade school diplomas, certificates of advanced course work and certification by ASE. * For major jobs ask whether the repair facility usually handles your type of repair work.
