Stonelick residents oppose plan for covered bridge Clermont County engineer concerned about safety Sun staff
The historic covered bridge in Stonelick Township has caused controversy between residents and the Clermont County Engineer’s Office, and several residents came to speak their concerns and commissioners’ Jan. 11 meeting. “What we’re interested in is a true historic restoration of the bridge,” Catherine RushOssenbeck, a Stonelick Township resident who lives
next to the bridge, said. “Not taking it apart and replacing the siding and floor, which we believe destroys the history of the bridge.” Rush-Ossenbeck and her husband, Tim, explained that the bridge, located on Stonelick-Williams Corner Road, was built in 1878 and contains historic structures including the Howe Truss. According to RushOssenbeck and the Clermont County Engineer’s Office, there have been several

The covered bridge on Stonelick-Williams Corner Road has been closed since a truck damaged it in 2010. Residents who live close to the bridge expressed their concerns about restoring it at Clermont County Commissioners' Jan. 11 session.
Stonelick Township residents Tim and Catherine RushOssenbeck spoke at Clermont County Commissioners' Jan. 11 meeting urging residents to oppose the engineer's proposed rehabilitation plan for the covered bridge on Stonelick-Williams Corner Road. The Ossenbecks want to preserve the bridge as much as possible.
instances where the bridge was damaged over the years, but in 2010 the bridge was damaged to the point of closure. Rush-Ossenbeck said she and other neighbors witnessed a Forest Green Recycling truck, exceeding the weight limit for the bridge, cross it and damage the base. She said it wasn’t the first garbage truck to go over the bridge. Clermont County Engineer’s rehabilitation plans for the bridge evolved after the bridge was closed,
however, funding was not available to complete the more than $1 million project until 2012. The plan proposes repairs to the bridge, improvements to the outdated structures, and an increase in the weight limit from three tons to 12 tons. And while residents agree the bridge needs repairs, Rush-Ossenbeck said many of them don’t agree with the proposed rehabilitation plan and have now formed a grassroots effort to prevent engineers from carrying out the current
Batavia trustees select member Randy Perry chosen from field of seven BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff
Batavia Township Trustees held a special meeting Jan. 18 to review applicants and select a resident to fill the vacant seat on the board, which belonged to the late Jim Bushman. Bushman was killed in a car accident in November, shortly after defeating former trustee Lee Cornett in the Nov. 8 election. He would have begun his term in January.
“It was such a terrible thing we had happen with Jim Bushman,” Trustee Jim Sauls said. “We all thought the world of him.” But Sauls said the trustees have a responsibility to move forward and pick someone new to help lead the township. “We appreciate all the applications and all the interest,” Trustee Bill Dowdney said. “At the end of the day, we are going to go with Randy Perry.” Perry was one of seven Batavia Township residents to submit a letter of interest for the position. Suellen Brafford, Charles Tekulve, Laura Abrams, Jason Fraley, Dan Haglage, and Charles “Eddie” Miller also submitted letters. “I've known Randy for 20-
plus years,” Sauls said. “I have known him to be moral, upstanding, hard working and family-minded. I think he is just a quality individual” Sauls also said he thinks Perry will bring a lot to the table when it comes to business experience and involvement in the community. “I think we made a good choice,” Dowdney said. Trustees notified Perry shortly after they made their decision, and he said he is excited he was selected to be trustee. “It's an honor just to serve the township, and be on the board of trustees with Jim and Bill,” Perry said. Perry graduated from Amelia High School and has lived in Clermont County

since 1969. Currently, he is a selfemployed contractor in the commercial plumbing industry. He helped develop Stable Trails subdivision and also runs an equestrian boarding facility with his wife, Lisa. He has two children, Carol and Jason. In addition, Perry serves on the Clermont County Planning Commission and is also chairman of the board of directors at A Caring Place, a pregnancy help center located in Mt. Carmel. “I've lived in the township for quite a while and for the last five or six years I've been more involved in the township and the community,” Perry See Batavia, Page 2
plans. “We’d like to preserve the bridge in its current format,” John Kies, past president of the Miami Rifle and Pistol Club, which is located on Stonelick-Williams Corner Road, said. Both Kies and RushOssenbeck said in addition to preserving the historical structures of the bridge they also want to preserve the quiet nature of the road. “Fire trucks and school buses have not been able to go over and it has been fine,”
Rush-Ossenbeck said. “The reason we moved to Stonelick Township was because it was a peaceful country road.” After listening to the concerns of residents, Commissioner Bob Proud said they would take what was said into consideration, however, he added that they don’t have the final say over the details of engineering projects in the county.

Village charging utility funds rent
B R O A D S H E E T O D D
New Richmond council is seeking to offset village operational costs BY KRISTIN BEDNARSKI Sun staff
New Richmond council members passed an ordinance to establish rent payments for the New Richmond Utilities Department at their Dec. 13 council meeting. “The village is allowed to charge enterprise funds rent for use of village property, such as village hall,” Administrator Dave Kennedy said. Kennedy said the utility accounts including water, sewer and garbage are classi-
fied as enterprise funds and are separate operations in the village. He said the utilities will be responsible for paying rent since they use space in village hall to operate. “These funds then go directly into the general fund,” Kennedy said. He said the water and sewer funds pay $400 per month and the garbage fund pays $200 per month. “This was enacted to help offset costs to the general fund,” Kennedy said.

The new Union Township Branch of the Clermont County Public Library will have a grand opening from 1 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 29. The more than $5 million facility is housed in the former Ryan’s Steakhouse, located at 4450 Glen EsteWithamsville Road. “This will be the largest of the 10 Clermont County Public Libraries, at 20,729 square feet,” said Clermont Public Library Executive Director David Mezack. “I think the community will be excited to see all that we have to offer!” The first thing a visitor to the new library will probably notice is that the design theme is based on the colors of nature. Carpeting, furnishings, and even shelving is shades of brown, green, and blue; images of creatures of the forest are used to embellish library chairs and paw prints can be spotted on the ceiling in the children’s section. “We worked hard to make this library energy efficient,” said Mezack, pointing to the abundance of natural light streaming in from windows throughout the structure and a variety of energy saving lights visible on the ceiling; the staggered ceiling resembles clouds that seem to float over the numerous shelves of

proposes the narrowing of the bridge from 17 feet to 15 feet, which will help insure traffic does not increase on the bridge or the road. In addition, he said they plan to install railing inside the covered bridge so drivers cannot scrape the side structures. They will also install warning signs before the bridge on both sides to help make sure drivers know the limitations. “We want to follow the historic significance of the structure,” Gadbury said. “The way we plan on doing it keeps the majority of the structure there.” For more information about the project visit http://tid.clermontcountyohio.gov/Covered Bridge.aspx, The RushOssenbeck's website can be found at clermontcountycoveredbridge.wordpress.com.

Continued from page 1 said. He said becoming more involved in the community sparked his interest in a spot on the board of trustees, and he is eager to contribute to the township. “From what I've seen, the township is being operated on a smooth basis,” Perry said. “And I'd like to be involved in that and continue to make the township a better place to raise a family.” Batavia Township Administrator Rex Parsons said he expects they will swear Perry in as the new trustee at the next board meeting, or possibly before then. By law, the trustees had to appoint a resident with the qualifications of an elector to fill the vacancy of Jim Bushman within 30 days of the occurrence of the vacancy.

Duke presents $360,000 to Salvation Army The Salvation Army today announced that it has received more than $360,000 from Duke Energy for the HeatShare program for 2012. HeatShare funds provide financial assistance to pay for utilities to those in desperate need. In many cases, these individuals and families face shutoff of utilities and possible eviction as a result of their inability to stay current on their utility bills. The HeatShare program is available to Duke Energy customers in southwest Ohio; starting today (January 17th), Duke Energy customers can apply for assistance. (For Duke Energy customers in Northern Kentucky, WinterCare funds are available, although these funds are not administered by The Salvation Army.) The HeatShare funds come from multiple sources, including Duke Energy customers who voluntarily add a HeatShare contribution to their monthly bill. Duke Energy Ohio provided a $100,000 donation, then matched all customer and employee donations dollarfor-dollar, up to an additional $100,000. Finally, almost $61,000 in funds was provided by Duke Energy as a result of their initiative to encourage customers to switch to paperless billing. For each Duke customer that switched to paperless billing during the initial timeframe of the campaign, $3 was donated by Duke Energy to the HeatShare program. “The HeatShare program has been helping local customers for many years, operating in Ohio since 1986,” explained Cindy Givens, Program Manager at Duke Energy. “We’re delighted to partner with our customers and The Salvation Army to provide this form of assistance to those in need. We entrust this program to the care of The Salvation Army because we have confidence in their management and distribution of the funds.” “We’re privileged to be the channel through which these funds are managed and distributed,” stated Major Hugh

Troopers from the Hamilton Post would like to remind the motoring public to take special winter driving precautions to safeguard themselves this upcoming winter season. “While safety should always be a top priority for every motorist, it is extremely important while traveling on Ohio’s winter roads,” states Sgt. James Russell. “Motorist need to remember that stopping distances increase greatly with wet, icy roads. Make sure to give yourself extra time when driving and always be prepared for the unexpected.” While traveling in Ohio this winter protect yourself by doing the following: Before you leave check the road and weather conditions anywhere in Ohio by calling the Ohio State Highway Patrol toll free at 1-800-2OH-ROAD. Or you may check Ohio Department of Transportation’s website at www.BuckeyeTraffic.org. Before you leave on a trip this winter, tell a friend or relative of travel plans
including destination, anticipated travel routes, and expected arrival time. Then telephone that same individual once arriving at the destination. Ensure your vehicle is in proper working order and has had a recent tune-up. Equip your vehicle with safety and survival equipment such as flares, blankets, flashlights with new batteries, communication equipment, and a bag of sand, first aid kit, and nonperishable snacks. Ensure the gas gauge does not fall below 1/2 tank before refueling. Make sure every occupant of the vehicle is wearing a seat belt. An attempt at a simple stop on an icy road may result in you losing control of your car. Stay put and stay safe in case of an emergency. Get your vehicle off the road. Communicate your problem to law enforcement or signal to other drivers to call for assistance. Stay in your car (keep your

windows up, but cracked, and your doors locked). Be selective about your help (only accept help from law enforcement or a legitimate service). Remain calm and be patient. The best advice of all for winter driving is to simply slow down and avoids any unnecessary risks. When considering a trip during a winter storm ask yourself, “Is this trip really necessary?” “Remember to drive defensively and not aggressively,” states Sgt. Russell. “As each year passes, the number of crashes related to aggressive driving, such as following too close and failure to yield, increase. These types of crashes are unnecessary and preventable. If every driver would just slow down and remain courteous, these types of crashes would be reduced drastically.” Drinking and driving is not an option. It cannot be tolerated any more. Stop and think about a designated driver before you head out for the evening, too. A few minutes of planning could prevent a tragedy that would change your life. Join us in becoming a partner for safety, by wearing your seat belt and avoiding aggressive or irresponsible driving.

Free tax preparation now available Hardworking local families can get a leg up on tax season by planning now to take advantage of free in-person tax prep at one of 34 convenient sites located throughout Southwestern Ohio, Northern Kentucky and Southeastern Indiana. In addition to free preparation and e-filing, they'll get help determining eligibility for and claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). The Internal Revenue Service estimates that only four of five eligible taxpayers claim and get their EITC.
That's as much as $5,751 into the pockets of a family with three or more children. It is the largest federal program benefiting low-earning workers. Last year, the local effort prepared more than 16,553 returns, resulting in more than $19 million coming back to our community and providing a financial boost for working people in a recovering economy. If you worked in 2011 and earned between $49,078 (married filing jointly with three or more children) and $13,660 (single with no children) you
may be eligible. 2012 sites open starting as early as Jan. 17. A full list of sites, hours, eligibility information and what to bring to have a return prepared can be found at www.makeworkpay.com or by calling 2-1-1. United Way teams up with regional sponsors including AARP, Hamilton County, the IRS, Ohio Benefit Bank, and others to develop and staff sites, train volunteer preparers, and promote the effort.

Scholarships and other initiatives offered to support education Milacron, a leading global supplier of plastics-processing technologies and precision machining and one of Greater Cincinnati’s largest manufacturers, is announcing a comprehensive talent acquisition program that promotes technical education and careers in manufacturing. Designed to help individuals advance their careers while helping Milacron maintain the skilled workforce the company needs to thrive, the talent acquisition program includes vocational school student coops, scholarships, tuition reimbursement, apprenticeships, job shadowing and other initiatives. The new efforts are a key part of Milacron’s ongoing commitment to growing its Ohio workforce and supporting the economic viability of its home region. The company plans to hire additional employees over the next three years representing a combination of management, engineering and highly-skilled manufacturing positions. “We’re in an economy where people are looking for jobs and manufacturers are looking for skilled workers,” said Dennis Smith, CEO of Milacron LLC. “It’s our responsibility as an employer of over 780 people locally to apply our resources toward keeping the workforce strong
and providing individuals with the skills they need to succeed in the job sectors that are thriving.” Promoting manufacturing careers Much of Milacron’s talent acquisition efforts will be focused on assisting high schools, vocational schools and technical colleges in promoting the advantages and opportunities associated with manufacturing careers. The program includes a Twitter feed, a Facebook page, and a microsite touting the benefits of manufacturing careers at Milacron through testimonial videos. “We want to demonstrate the benefits, opportunities and long-term satisfaction we know manufacturing-related careers offer and encourage students to pursue the skills and training they’ll need to succeed in this field,” said Dave Lawrence, President of Milacron’s Plastics Machinery Injection, Extrusion and Mold Technologies businesses. “Many manufacturers have been talking about the need for this kind of program, and we took the initiative to get things started in the Cincinnati region. Our hope is others will follow suit.” Lawrence is featured in one of the employee videos, highlighting a career path that started as a tool maker and progressed to his current posi-
tion overseeing over 2,500 employees worldwide. Other videos feature young employees who have discovered the benefits of a manufacturing career, showing their peers why it could be a good decision for them as well. At the high school level, Milacron is reinstating a program to provide co-op and apprenticeship opportunities for students in their senior year, opening the company’s doors as a place of hands-on learning that supplements classroom learning. Milacron is focusing on coop programs with area vocational schools such as Great Oaks Career Campuses, a system serving 35 school districts in southwest Ohio that helps high school juniors and seniors acquire employable skills while completing their high school education. Great Oaks places heavy emphasis on recruitment of its students by companies in the region. According to Great Oaks instructors, almost all students who graduate from their machining, welding and engineering technologies programs are placed in local companies, including Milacron. For college students, Milacron is offering a new scholarship opportunity to support advancing education in manufacturing fields. The company will offer up to ten $1,000 scholarships per year to help new Milacron employees pay for continuing with postsecondary technical education.
“Here in Cincinnati, $1,000 goes a long way in covering expenses such as books and supplies, even covering a semester of tuition at Cincinnati State, a junior college that provides education in engineering technologies of many sorts and has a plastics option within its technologies program,” said Smith. “This could be just the help that dedicated students need to continue down this career path.” Milacron also offers tuition reimbursement to its employees. This means that students who earn the scholarship can have additional help with related expenses and other fees while having continued education paid for as well. To visit the new Milacron microsite, and for more information about opportunities at Milacron, please visit www.BeMoreAtMilacron.com. Milacron LLC and its businesses are committed to being the leading suppliers of plastics-processing technologies and industrial fluids around the world. The people of Milacron’s companies know what matters in manufacturing, and every day, put this know-how to work to help customers improve productivity, cut costs, increase energy efficiency, eliminate scrap and reduce cycle times.

Mercy Health, a missiondriven, integrated health care organization with six awardwinning hospitals in Cincinnati, is among the top 20 percent of health systems nationwide, according to Thomson Reuters’ Top Health Systems study. Mercy Health is in select company – only 63 other health systems in the country achieved this designation. Thomson Reuters’ fourth annual study identified the leading U.S. health systems based on balanced systemwide clinical performance and data from more than 300 organizations with more than 2,100 member hospitals. These health systems have the highest achievement on clinical performance, efficiency and patient satisfaction. Among the key findings in the study were that hospitals in the top 20 percent of systems outperform those in the lowest 20 percent in a number of key measures, resulting in the following benefits for
patients: • Lower mortality rates • Fewer complications • Better patient safety • Fewer readmissions • Shorter average length of stay • Higher patient rating of care “At Mercy Health, our job is to provide care holistically – in body, mind and spirit – and always keep the patient at the center of our work. It’s gratifying when the data shows that we’re succeeding, leading to a terrific honor such as this Top 20 percent designation from Thomson Reuters,” said James May, President and CEO of Mercy Health. “As an organization, we will continue to strive to provide that holistic care for patients and families each day. We will also continue to listen to our patients and the communities in which we work, expanding our services and our network to meet changing and growing health care needs in Cincinnati.”
Thomson Reuters assessed 321 U.S. health systems with two or more short-term, general, non-federal hospitals; cardiac and orthopedic hospitals; and critical access hospitals for the study. Researchers looked at eight metrics that gauge clinical quality and efficiency: mortality, medical complications, patient safety, average length of stay, 30-day mortality rate, 30-day readmission rate, adherence to clinical standards of care (evidence-based core measures published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services), and HCAHPS patient survey score (part of a national initiative sponsored by the United States Department of Health and Human Services to measure the quality of care in hospitals). The study relied on public data from the 2010 Medicare Provider Analysis and Review (MedPAR) data and the CMS Hospital Compare data sets. Researchers from the
Thomson Reuters 100 Top Hospitals program have analyzed and reported on the performance of individual hospitals since 1993. Mercy Health is a premier healthcare provider that has been serving Greater Cincinnati for more than 160 years. Mercy Health provides an integrated network of leading physicians, compassionate caregivers, comprehensive services and exceptional care at more than 80 locations across the region. The Mercy Health network of care includes six awardwinning hospitals, eight senior living communities, primary and specialty care physician practices, outpatient centers, social service agencies, fitness centers and a variety of outreach programs.

Hunters take 19,251 white-tailed deer during statewide muzzleloader season Hunters took 19,251 deer during Ohio's muzzleloader season, Jan. 7-10, with Coshocton County again leading the state with 722 deer checked. In 2011, a preliminary total of 16,934 deer were taken during muzzleloader season. Counties reporting the highest number of deer checked during the muzzle-
loader season included: Coshocton-722, Licking-639, Muskingum-638, Guernsey612, Tuscarawas-581, Belmont-577, Harrison-569, Knox-470, Meigs-466, and Jefferson-465. Hunters can enjoy deer hunting through Feb. 5 as the archery season continues. Hunters who wish to share their success may submit a
photo of themselves and the deer taken at wildohio.com. Hunters can still donate extra venison to organizations assisting Ohioans in need. The division is collaborating with Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry to help pay for the processing of donated venison. Hunters who give their deer to a participating food bank are not
required to pay the processing cost while funding for the effort is available. Counties being served by this program can be found online at www.fhfh.org. The ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR Web site at www.ohiodnr.com.

The Great Central U.S. ShakeOut is a day featuring the largest earthquake drill ever, organized to inspire central U.S. residents to get ready for big earthquakes, and to prevent disasters from becoming catastrophes. What we do now, before a big earthquake, will determine what our lives will be like afterwards. The Ohio Emergency Management Agency is a registered participant in the 2012 Great Central U.S. ShakeOut, and is assisting in the promotion of earthquake safety and preparedness. The Great Central US ShakeOut will conduct its second annual regional earthquake drill Feb. 7 at 10:15 a.m. FEMA’s Ready.gov site suggests the following earthquake preparedness steps: Before and earthquake • To begin preparing for an earthquake or any disaster,
make an emergency supply kit for your home and vehicles, and make a family communications plan to know who to contact during an emergency. • Prepare the home by fastening shelves securely to walls; place large or heavy objects on lower shelves; brace overhead light fixtures and top-heavy objects; have repaired defective electrical wiring and leaky gas connections. These are potential fire risks. • Locate safe spots in each room of your home, workplace and/or school. A safe spot could be under a sturdy table or desk, or against an interior wall away from windows, bookcases or tall furniture that could fall. • Practice “Drop, Cover and Hold On” in each safe place. If you don’t have sturdy furniture to hold on to, sit or crouch on the floor next to an interior wall and cover your
head and neck with your arms. During an earthquake Drop, Cover and Hold On. Minimize your movements to a few steps to a nearby safe place. If Indoors • Stay indoors until the shaking has stopped and you are sure it is safe to exit. • Drop to the ground; take cover by getting under a sturdy table or other piece of furniture; and hold on until the shaking stops. Again, if there is no sturdy furniture to hold on to, crouch on the floor in a corner or next to an interior wall and cover your head and neck with your arms. • Do not use a doorway for protection. Most doorways are lightly constructed and offer no protection from earthquakes. • Do not use elevators. If Outdoors
• Stay outdoors in the open, until the shaking stops. • Move away from buildings, streetlights and utility wires. If in a Moving Vehicle • Stop as quickly as safety permits and stay in the vehicle. Avoid stopping near or under buildings, trees, overpasses and utility wires. • Proceed cautiously once the earthquake has stopped. Avoid roads, bridges or ramps that may have been damaged by the earthquake. Ohio EMA encourages individuals, businesses, organizations and schools to sign up and participate with the Great Central U.S. ShakeOut at www.shakeout.org/centralus.

UC Clermont College head men’s basketball coach John Hurley instructs his team during a recent break in practice.
For the love of the game He has reached a milestone few have attained. UC Clermont College head men’s basketball coach John Hurley says he has done a lot of reflecting on his career, since his Cougar squad gave him his 900th coaching win in December 2011. Even after 40 plus years of coaching, Hurley is still going strong. “I do it for the love of the game,” he said, during a recent practice of his squad on the UC Clermont College campus. “I have a passion for basketball. I have really enjoyed working with the many young men who have
played for me.” Hurley, who lives in Clermont County, helped launch the Cincinnati State basketball program, where he achieved over 550 wins in his 26 year tenure. He also has coached at Ohio University and Milford High School. Hurley has spent the past eight years at UC Clermont, where he has led his teams to numerous regional championships and in 2008, the United States Collegiate Athletic Association National Championship. What makes a good basketball player?
“Someone who really loves the game,” said Hurley. “I look for a player with good character, and a strong worth ethic in the classroom and on the court.” Hurley wants his team to be challenged. This year they have played five NCAA DII teams in a row, including Northern Kentucky University. “I think we competed pretty well,” said the coach, who added that he would like to see UC Clermont basketball become either a NCAA Division III or an NAIA program.
Got a 2012 Clermont County dog tag for your best friend? If you have a dog and you live in Clermont County, make sure you purchase a 2012 dog license by Jan. 31. “This is truly the best way to ensure that you and your pet are reunited, if you are separated,” said Clermont Animal Shelter Director Kim Nagel, during a presentation before the Board of Clermont County Commissioners on Jan. 11, 2011. “Last year, we were able to facilitate 300 happy reunions, primarily because we were able to find a stray dog’s owner by checking his tag.” Dog licenses cost $14 each and are on sale at the Clermont County Animal Shelter, located at 4025 Filager Road in Batavia, the Clermont County Auditor’s Office, located at 101 E. Main Street in Batavia, and a variety of satellite locations.

OKI honored for collaborative emergency management system The Ohio-KentuckyIndiana Regional Council of Governments Board President and Clermont County Commissioner Edwin Humphrey has announced that OKI Geographic Information System Division Manager David Shuey has received The Alliance for Chemical Safety 2011 Risk Communication Award. Shuey was nominated for the Alliance 2011 Award for his work on the development of the Regional Emergency Operation Center, OKI, Geographic Information System, Regional Emergency Mapping System (ROGREMS). “This recognition illustrates the terrific work being done at OKI and is a tribute to the success that can occur when experts work collaboratively to address potential risks,” said Humphrey. “The system is a critical tool that will enhance the region’s safety and save lives in the event of a large scale emergency.”
ROGREMS identifies local critical resources and infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, chemical storage units, and police and fire stations to allow emergency personnel to respond efficiently in the event of a catastrophic situation. ROGREMS also provides live feeds around emergency scenes which are helpful in determining evacuation capacities and routes. Shuey led the development of the GIS-based mapping program that provides emergency responders the ability to visualize real scenarios involving weather patterns, flood plains and chemical plume reactions. It is integrated with region-wide camera networks and has the ability to compile data for the public via Twitter feeds other mediums. “The shared vision of the collective agencies involved with the development of ROGREMS is truly exceptional,” said OKI Executive Director Mark Policinski.
“OKI is honored that the work of Mr. Shuey has been duly recognized.” The development of ROGREMS was a collaboration between OKI, the city of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. All of these entities are part of the Greater Cincinnati Urban Area Security Initiative (the 12 county homeland security region). The Alliance for Chemical Safety is a non-profit group of Greater Cincinnati industries, government agencies, emergency responders, social service organizations and interested citizens who promote public understanding and involvement in chemical risk management. OKI is a council of local governments, business organizations and community groups committed to developing collaborative strategies, plans and programs to improve the quality of life and economic development potential of the Tri-State.

teens from disease, they also prevent the spread of serious diseases to others such as babies, other teens and older adults. It is imperative that more Ohio adolescents receive their vaccinations to protect themselves, family members and friends from serious illness,” said Dr. Colette R. Willins, president, Ohio Academy of Family Physicians. Adolescents are at increased risk for contracting certain diseases, including meningitis and pertussis. These diseases can lead to death, serious illness or lifethreatening health complications. Given how contagious these diseases can be, one infected teenager in a school setting could put an entire student body in danger. Vaccinations are available for each of these dangerous diseases. However, few adolescents in Ohio are getting their recommended vaccina-
tions. In fact, adolescent vaccination rates for these diseases in Ohio were between 50 percent and 70 percent in 2009, meaning that a large number of Ohio teenagers were at risk for contracting these life-threatening diseases. Teen Vaccine Recommendations (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) Tdap: A booster to protect against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. Recommended for preteens (ages 11 to 12), as well as any teens (ages 13 to 18) that haven't received the shot. Ohio children are required to have the Tdap immunization prior to the entry of 7th grade. Meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4): Protects against meningococcal disease. The first dose is recommended at age 11 or 12 followed by a booster (second shot) at age 16 to 18.
OAFP shapes health care with advocacy, empowers the specialty of family medicine with leadership and facilitates achievement of professional excellence and satisfaction with education. The Immunization Advocacy Network of Ohio (IANO) advocates for the value of vaccines and educates about the critical role of immunization to maintain healthy communities, schools, workplaces and institutions of Ohio. IANO is a network of more than 20 medical professional associations, public health advocates and officials and business organizations, including the Ohio Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Ohio Hospital Association and the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians.

The 2012-13 hunting and trapping regulation proposals were presented on Jan. 4 to the Ohio Wildlife Council by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife. Sept. 1 is the proposed kick-off date for the state's fall hunting season beginning with squirrel and dove hunting. Other proposed hunting and trapping rules will be similar to those now in effect, with only slight changes to fall and spring hunting dates. Hunters age 17 and under are proposed access to hunt statewide for rabbit, pheasant and all other legal game in season during two designated weekends, Oct. 20-21 and 27-28. Spring youth turkey season is proposed for April 20-21, 2013. The remainder of the proposals concerning Ohio's white-tailed deer hunting will be heard during a separate Wildlife Council meeting on Feb. 8. Open houses will be held on Saturday, March 3 in each of the state's five wildlife districts to provide the public an opportunity to view and discuss proposed hunting and trapping regulations with state wildlife officials. Directions to the open houses can be found at wildohio.com or by calling 1-800WILDLIFE. A statewide hearing on all of the proposed rules will be held at the Division of Wildlife’s District One office on Thursday, March 8 at 9 a.m.. The office is located at 1500 Dublin Road in Columbus. After considering public input, the Ohio Wildlife Council will vote on the proposed rules and season dates during its April 4 meeting.

Great Oaks offers new hospitality management program Every day, tens of thousands of visitors to southwest Ohio stay in one of hundreds of hotels, motels, and inns. Their experience is affected by the managers and staff who operate those businesses. Scarlet Oaks is offering a program for high school students who want to enter this growing management field. Called Lodging Management and Hospitality Services, this program is ideal for students considering a career in running hotels, convention centers, restaurants, banquet halls, event planning companies, and other businesses that provide a wide range of services. Students who complete the program can gain experience at local hotels and earn certification from the American Hotel and Lodging Association as well as college credit at several colleges and universities. In the program, students will learn management skills, particularly those needed to run hotels, convention centers, and other service industries. Those skills include customer service, financial analysis, human resources development, event planning, marketing, problem solving, and decision making. Lodging Management and Hospitality Services is designed to lead to careers in hotel and restaurant management, from the front desk to the back office. Typical career positions include catering and banquet manager, director of sales and marketing, front office manager, event planner, executive housekeeper, general manager, and others. Some positions will require experience and additional education, but the Lodging Management and Hospitality Services program will provide credentials to begin a career.

Vaccines aren’t just for babies. As children get older, the protection provided by some of the vaccines given during childhood can wear off. Older children can also develop risks for certain infections as they enter the preteen and teen years.

The Batavia boys’ basketball team didn’t get off to the start they hoped for in 2011-12 dropping seven of their first eight games. However, things seem to be looking up for the Bulldogs as they beat New Richmond on Jan. 7 and put together their first two-game winning streak of the season with a 45-40 win over Bethel-Tate on Tuesday, Jan. 10. “We’re taking care of the ball a little better [over the last two games],” Batavia head coach Mike Hatfield said after the Bethel game. “We’ll take a three-, or four-, or five-minute period and stop playing, stop rebounding, start watching and standing around. We’re shortening that up a little bit and it’s making a difference.” While you could argue that the Bulldogs were taking off the first quarter of their game against Bethel based upon looking at the box score, that wouldn’t be the case. The Bulldogs were doing a good job of running their offense and getting open looks, but they couldn’t get the shots to fall. “It’s been a few days where we’re struggling to shoot it,” Hatfield explained. “We are getting good looks consistently and we’re just not finishing.” As Batavia fought their own bugaboos, Bethel-Tate jumped out to an early lead after missing some open looks themselves. “Every offensive possession we’re looking for a high-percentage shot and I thought we got those early,” Bethel head coach Craig Stork said. The Tigers showed a balanced attack in the opening quarter during which four of the five starters were able to convert a field goal, giving Bethel an 8-4 lead through the first period. Coach Hatfield subbed in Dwayne Smith late in the first quarter and his quick first step and athleticism gave the Bulldogs the spark they needed. “He always gives us a spark,” Hatfield said. “He goes hard to the basket and plays hard on defense.” With Smith giving the Bulldogs that jolt, both teams started to get into a more fluid pace, trading baskets as the lead changed hands four times in the last two minutes of the half. The Bulldogs switched to a trapping zone defense toward the end of the half that stymied the Bethel offense a bit, allowing Batavia to take a 15-14 lead with 45 seconds remaining. Trailing by one, the Tigers ran a nice offensive set that allowed sophomore guard Layne Cherry to get open on the right wing for an open three-pointer, which he buried to give Bethel a 17-15 halftime lead. The Tigers were able to hold their own on the boards in the first half against the bigger front line of Batavia, something Stork was trying to stress to his players as well as patience on the offensive end. “When you’re post players are sometimes under six feet, all five guys have to work together and box their man out every time,” Stork said. “We don’t want to jack up quick shots when no one’s ready to rebound. We want to make sure we take care of the ball and get good shooters taking good shots.” Bethel did a pretty good job of doing just that in the first half, but as the game wore on, the Bulldogs seemed to be figuring out a better way to attack the Tigers’ defense, taking advantage of their size on the low blocks by rebounding better. “We let them have a few [rebounds] offensively early on that we weren’t too happy about.” Hatfield said, “but as a whole, I think we outrebounded them.” The second half started similarly to how the first half ended – with both teams getting some good looks, swapping baskets. A back-and-forth third frame ended with Batavia holding the lead for the first time at the end of a quarter following an Alex White

HAVE YOU MOVED OR CHANGED YOUR NAME? Batavia’s Dwayne Smith goes in for a layup in the Bulldog’s game against Bethel-Tate on Tuesday, Jan. 10.
elbow jump shot that put the Bulldogs up 27-26. Trailing 28-27, Batavia built a five-point lead at beginning of the fourth quarter on the strength of a David Pelphrey and-one and a Kyle Schmitgen three-pointer on back-to-back trips down the floor. Bethel’s junior guard Tyler Atkins did his best to keep his team in the game, getting to the basket and drawing fouls, closing the gap to 33-30 with just over four and a half minutes remaining. Bethel tried to ratchet up their defensive pressure and deflected a pass with 4:25 remaining, causing the ball to fly straight at a referee. The referee instinctively caught the ball and then dropped it, but not before blowing his whistle, stopping the play in which a Bethel defender had grabbed the ball with an open lane to the basket. “[The referee] said it was an inadvertent whistle, so they went to the jump ball and it gave it to us,” Hatfield said. Coach Stork was visibly upset by the call, claiming that the ball hitting the referee and staying in bounds should have allowed play to continue. By rule, the referee is considered to be part of the court and the play would have continued had it not been for the referee blowing the play dead. Batavia retained possession by virtue of the possession arrow after an explanation was given to Stork. Nothing came of the Batavia possession as Smith was whistled for an over-theback foul going up for a rebound. In the bonus, Bethel’s Erik Shinkle converted one of two free throws to close the Bethel lead to 33-31. Batavia’s Neil Wilson got into the lane and made a driving layup to give the Bulldogs a four-point lead that was immediately cut to one following a Jason Adams threepointer. Stork immediately called a timeout with 2:33 remaining to set up his defense. Coach Hatfield drew up an isolation play for Brian Hawk who hadn’t scored into the game up to that point. The senior guard answered the call, hitting a step-back jump shot on the baseline to give the Bulldogs a 35-31 lead. The next two times down the floor, Bethel answered, tying the game at 37 with 1:24 left in the game, thanks to a friendly home-court bounce on another Adams three-pointer. The Bulldogs converted four-straight free throws over the next 40 seconds to open up a 41-37 lead, but again Bethel answered, this time with another Cherry three-pointer to cut the deficit to one point with 21.8 seconds left. The Tigers quickly fouled Smith with 19 seconds left. The senior calmly sank both free throws, but Bethel had the ball in a one-possession game. “There was 19 seconds and we wanted to get to the rim in the first five seconds if we could because we didn’t want to shoot a three until we absolutely had to,” Stork said. “So, I told them to get to the rim and get a quick two and we’ll foul them and see what happens.” Batavia answered the call from Stork with a wrinkle of

their own, switching to an active three-two zone that threw the Tigers off a bit. “We wanted to keep them from getting to the basket,” Hatfield said. “With 19 seconds, I’m still thinking they’ll try to get to the basket, so our goal was to keep them in front of us.” Unable to get to the basket right away, Bethel moved the ball around the perimeter and settled for a three-pointer that came up short with 4 seconds remaining. Batavia secured the rebound and in an effort to stop the clock, Bethel knocked Batavia’s Wilson out of bounds, which brought an intentional foul call from the referee that essentially put the game out of reach for Bethel after Wilson hit both free throws.

The Ohio Tourism Division has debuted Scene in Ohio www.sceneinohio.com, a new website created to showcase Ohio attractions, restaurants and destinations that have been featured in movies and on television. “Our goal for Scene in Ohio is to capitalize on the travel motivating factors of mainstream media,” said State Tourism Director Amir Eylon. “Perhaps more than ever before, travelers are visiting places they have learned about from their favorite television shows and movies. Scene in Ohio makes it easy to find those places along with other nearby sites to encourage a longer getaway.” In addition to helping travelers find their favorite Scene in Ohio places, the website was designed to give users an interactive experi-
ence. For example, the site is kicking off with a little more than 50 locations to encourage Scene in Ohio users to help build the site. Listings also pull photos and videos from social media networks, show Yelp consumer reviews for applicable locations, and offer social media sharing capabilities. The new Scene in Ohio website features: • Locations – At the heart of the website is an extensive list of locations searchable by category (movie, television, and food), keyword and zip code; photos and videos from social media channels; Google maps; and Yelp reviews where available. The map feature also shows users the locations of other nearby Scene in Ohio sites. • On-Screen Ohioans – A brief highlight of stars born in Ohio or with strong Buckeye connections. Each
On-Screen Ohioan listing includes an overview of the star’s career and Ohio connection, an interesting factoid and a link to their profile on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb). • Did You Know? – Fascinating facts about Ohio film and television locations, sitcoms set in Ohio cities and Ohioans who have found fame on television. • Itineraries – In addition to sample itineraries for movie buffs, foodies and more, visitors can build and share their own Ohio itineraries. • Tell Us More – An opportunity for Ohioans and visitors alike to share additional movie, television and restaurant sites that may be added to Scene in Ohio. Scene in Ohio includes sites and experiences of all sizes located across the state ranging from the Ohio State

Reformatory in Mansfield (“Shawshank Redemption”) to Cincinnati’s Fountain Square (“Ides of March”) and from Thurman Café in Columbus (“Man v. Food”) to Wendy Kromer Confections and City Bake Shop in Sandusky (“The Martha Stewart Show”). Research has shown that tourism often increases after places are featured on TV or in movies. The Journal of Travel Research cites two of the most notable increases: a seven percent increase in tourism for Savannah, Ga., after “Forrest Gump,” and a 300 percent increase in tourism for the Wallace monument in Scotland the year after “Braveheart” was released. Many restaurants across the U.S. report double-digit sales increases after being featured on Food Network or Travel Channel programs.

Once upon a time, you loved fairy tales. Once upon a time, you loved princes and princesses, gnomes, and castles with moats and dragons. There was magic in a fairy tale, there were monsters and evil queens, and you had to use your imagination to see it all. Then you grew up, and you began to think that fairy tales were just for kids. But as you’ll see in the new book “Cinder” by Marissa Meyer, that magical feeling didn’t just carry you through your childhood. You’ll need it in the future, too. Cinder hated her foot. It was too small, for one thing, it was old, and it hurt. But new feet were expensive, so when she was finally able to hide enough money from her guardian, she bought a sleek new appendage. Too bad she had to keep it hidden, just like she kept her metallic hand inside a glove. If people in the market knew she was a cyborg, they’d never approach her again and Cinder would lose her reputation as New Beijing’s best mechanic. But her reputation did no good when the market was closed, as it closed on the morning that the local baker noticed blue bruises on her own body and was hauled away, screaming. Nobody knew where the plague had originated. It started with small blue marks on neck or chest, and quickly consumed a body. Scientists searched for a cure but Earthens still died by the hundreds… among them, the Emperor, and Cinder’s human “sister.” In a fit of rage and grief, Cinder’s guardian sold Cinder to a lab because cyborgs made great guinea pigs – but there was something about the teenager that interested one doctor: she seemed to be immune to the plague. Meanwhile, as New Beijing mourned, there was also a celebration being planned for
TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER THE BOOKWORM SEZ
Crown Prince Kai, who would be the new Emperor. But it wouldn’t be a happy event: one of the guests, Queen Levana from Luna, was scheming to marry Kai. Cruel and ugly, Levana had the unusual ability to make Earthens believe that she was beautiful and benevolent. She could control Earthen minds. But she could not control Cinder… There is one word that best sums up this book: Arrrrrrrgggghhhh! Though author Marissa Meyer uses some old “Cinderella” bits here, “Cinder” obviously barely resembles the original. Nope, this isn’t your kindergarten fairy tale: filled with danger, relevant characters, and a could-it-happen futuristic spin, this tale had me grabbed by the end of the first page. Yes, I’ll admit I had the “secret” figured out early, but I was so into this book that it didn’t matter. Then – at the risk of ruining things – Meyer does something that had me screaming: she leaves readers with the most incredible cliff-hanger ever. Ever. Seriously, you won’t believe it. If you’re 12-years-or-older, grew up with Once Upon a Time, and are looking for a great new author to love, take a pumpkin-coach if you have to and find this book. You plus “Cinder” equals Happily Ever After. The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri has been reading since she was 3years-old and she never goes anywhere without a book. She lives on a hill in Wisconsin with two dogs and 12,000 books.

license design on the campus of the Columbus College of Art and Design. For the first time, the new license will be fully compliant with the federal Real ID Act. “The new licenses and identification cards will be distinctly different in design from the traditional license,” said Mike Rankin, Bureau of Motor Vehicles Registrar. Ohio’s driver licenses will have additional security features, markings, and other federal requirements making it harder to illegally counterfeit. Driver licenses will be released in January of 2013 and the new plates will be available December 2012.
